| lee | or is there a tasksel for xubuntu? | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: How much RAM do you have? | 00:48 |
| rob0917 | I,ve only been able to run it using medibuntu repositories-zepplin | 00:48 |
| Linera | it would do no good | 00:48 |
| Billiard | Linera: because we told you to | 00:48 |
| bazhang | lee, xubuntu-desktop | 00:48 |
| Darkwell | when will xtermubuntucome =) | 00:48 |
| switch10_ | Linera: it is not the same.. | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: if you install Xubuntu or Lubuntu inside your Ubuntu install, your not installing the same OS again | 00:48 |
| Linera | seb, i dunno since i don't have dxdiag so i can see that info | 00:48 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: what's that? | 00:48 |
| lee | Linera: because xubuntu is optimised for low end systems, whereas the full version expects some reasonable power and a shiny graphics card | 00:49 |
| Linera | directx diag | 00:49 |
| bsmith093 | afaik that is a windows tool | 00:49 |
| Billiard | Linera: linux doesnt have directx | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: not sure what that is, but for a Linux distro their are commands for finding out such info as how much RAM you have | 00:49 |
| Linera | its used on windows to see things like os, ram, video card, etc | 00:49 |
| switch10_ | Linera: sudo apt-get install sysinfo | 00:49 |
| g0tcha | is there a way to make ubuntu automaticly uses ssh tunneling for everything? | 00:50 |
| Linera | no longer able to use it so i can't see that info anymore | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: yes you can | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: ,but you have to use something else to find out the info | 00:50 |
| Linera | only way i would be able to is install windows instead of linux | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: unless your program works in Wine hmm | 00:50 |
| Billiard | Linera: do you honestly think there is no way to see how much ram you have in linux? | 00:50 |
| PrototypeX29A | these ubuntu derivates, are they completely different, or just different flavors of the same operating system> | 00:50 |
| vvor | g0tcha: openvpn | 00:50 |
| PrototypeX29A | like kubuntu, xubuntu etc. | 00:50 |
| bsmith093 | linera open a terminal goto the applicatins menu | 00:50 |
| Linera | dxdiag is part of directx and only on windows | 00:51 |
| lee | Linera: if you have a new laptop with nothing on it you want to keep, and you're new to linux, your best bet by far is to download xubuntu and install from that, as switch10_ said | 00:51 |
| bsmith093 | goto accesories click terminal | 00:51 |

| Darkwell | sorry | 00:51 |

| === assas1n is now known as n00p | ||
| burzki | Linera, on your top bar, click 'Application' then accessories, then terminal .. do it | 00:51 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: that is also possible depending on your computer, installing WIndows inside Ubuntu. However by the sounds of it a standard Ubuntu install is being slow. If that's the case a Windows virtual machine might not even work well or at all. | 00:51 |
| g0tcha | vvor, how can i configure openvpn to use ssh tunneling? | 00:51 |
| Darkwell | or use top and press m | 00:51 |
| lee | bazhang: yeah, but it'll leave a bunch of crap behind, surely? | 00:51 |
| edbian | I'm trying to start clisp via the cli and feed it a txt file full of lisp function definitions. How do you do that? | 00:51 |

| bazhang | bsmith093, that wont do it | 00:52 |
| bsmith093 | oh rioght apt-get | 00:52 |
| vvor | g0tcha: if you need more then one tunnel for more then one app conseder openvpn not ssh | 00:52 |
| bsmith093 | bazhang why not | 00:53 |
| bazhang | bsmith093, the upgrade instructions cover it dist-upgrade does not do it | 00:53 |
| lee | bazhang: I could, you could, but a new linux user couldn't, without help =) | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: Ubuntu is not Windows, meaning things are done differnetly, but some things are rather similar | 00:53 |
| digitalaxis | Hey, i enabled rotate cube but when i press ctrl+alt+left directional it doesnt zoom out, just switches windows like normal | 00:53 |

| bazhang | lee, its actually well documented on psychocats website | 00:53 |

| sebsebseb | linucks: then you can put Xubuntu or Lubuntu on as well | 00:59 |
| gestahlt | I finally managed to setup my KVM / Qemu + guests... as well as Virtio networking | 00:59 |
| digitalaxis | darkwell: I do C++ and C# Programming and consulting for a living, so not sure what your on about. A nice GUI doesnt have anything to do with code | 00:59 |

| Billiard | Linera|Away: you havent asked a good question then maybe? what exactly do you want removed? | 01:01 |
| lee | Linera|Away: *shrug* that's the answer for you, until you more about how ubuntu works. as bazhang said, you could install the xubuntu-desktop package, then remove the superfluous bits, but that's more involved. | 01:02 |
| switch10_ | Linera|Away: seriously?? the only answer you will ever get is install a lighter distro | 01:02 |
| burzki | Linera|Away, wont even open a terminal and follow directions .. what are we supposed to do?!? | 01:02 |
| digitalaxis | Can someone give me linera's question? Just so i can humor him. | 01:02 |
| Billiard | Linera|Away: you said you want "bare-basics" that could be anything, i consider that to be no gui, do you want sound printing support, etc... | 01:02 |
| winstonw | temoto, is there an alternate config Xorg could read on startup | 01:02 |
| Linera|Away | I'm new to linux. I'm running linux Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop with low ram. How can I tweak the os to run on the bare basics? | 01:03 |
| Linera|Away | ^why can't get an answer? | 01:03 |

| bsmith093 | go to the system menu | 01:03 |
| switch10_ | digitalaxis: he wants to know how to make ubunu run on not much ram | 01:03 |
| wawan | why i can't perform my ubuntu. | 01:03 |
| bsmith093 | administration then click synaptic | 01:03 |
| digitalaxis | linera|away: Do you meet the minimum system requirments? Have you considered learning how to work in your bios to optomize your ram? | 01:04 |
| Darkwell | yah there are manyways to cut down things maybe there is a good readon to start off with what daemons/services you dont need/want to run | 01:04 |
| winstonw | Linera|Away, don't run gnome, check out something tiny like evilwm, read about different software for the same task and evaluate which people say is the most efficient | 01:04 |
| bsmith093 | wawan i am not kidding leave or stay on opic | 01:04 |
| ardchoille | Linera|Away: I remember several people (including me) telling you how to solve that problems hours ago, why haven't you followed their advice? | 01:04 |

| === Linera|Away is now known as Linera | ||
| bsmith093 | linera yes u do | 01:08 |

| bsmith093 | things are named differently in linux | 01:08 |
| switch10_ | oh man here we go... | 01:08 |
| winstonw | dtownhero, you will then need to configure gstreamer apps to use alsa, also there is a libsdl sound library specifically for pulseaudio you may want to install | 01:09 |
| winstonw | if you use sdl | 01:09 |
| bsmith093 | let me ask u this who installed linux for u and why | 01:09 |
| Linera | teamviewer is the only good remote program out there but its windows | 01:09 |
| dtownhero | ugh | 01:09 |
| dtownhero | that sucks | 01:09 |
| switch10_ | hahhaha | 01:09 |
| winstonw | dtownhero, want commands? | 01:09 |
| bsmith093 | remote desktop works fine | 01:09 |

| dtownhero | nah, I'm saying that configuring gstreamer apps to use alsa | 01:09 |
| lee | o/~ trollin' trollin' trollin' o/~ | 01:09 |
| switch10_ | bsmith093: u are wasting your time friend | 01:09 |

| bsmith093 | i seriousky want to know linera why do u use ubuntu | 01:10 |
| winstonw | dtownhero, its pretty easy -- gstreamer-properties | 01:10 |
| bsmith093 | switch its my time to waste | 01:10 |
| bazhang | burzki, whats up | 01:10 |
| winstonw | dtownhero, also the sdl library keeps apps using sdl from using something silly like oss or pulseaudio for just having the bit for alsa installed | 01:10 |
| dtownhero | my problem is I'm playing WOW in Crossover and trying to run Mangler, well wine does not know how to tell pulse to multiple streams | 01:10 |

| winstonw | linduxed, sorry dude | 01:16 |
| bsmith093 | there u will see some tabs | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: the last link | 01:16 |
| winstonw | Linera, check out commands lspci, x86info, and the files /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo, and some various other files in /proc | 01:16 |
| Billiard | Linera: just type the command "free -om" that will tell you how much ram you have | 01:16 |
| bsmith093 | click resources | 01:16 |
| winstonw | oh yeah thats just way easier lol | 01:16 |
| Linera | no run thingy like on windows | 01:16 |
| bsmith093 | OH MY GOD | 01:17 |
| bsmith093 | system menu | 01:17 |
| bsmith093 | at the top of the screen | 01:17 |
| lee | Linera: hit alt-F2 | 01:17 |
| winstonw | Linera, there are profilers that function in the same way, but you have to do your research | 01:17 |
| Wolfman2000 | bsmith093: On my version of Ubuntu, it's Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 01:17 |
| kristian_ | hey! i just bought a western digital elements 1tb hdd. when i start it up, something tries to auto run, which doesn't work. guess it's some windows application. anyways i was wondering what i should do with it if i want to store media files on it (pictures and videos mainly, but also some music) should i format it to ext3? and if so anyone got a nice tutorial for it? :-p | 01:17 |
| Wolfman2000 | not exactly system tools | 01:17 |
| Linera | just looked in both folders in system and see no run | 01:17 |
| bsmith093 | not run | 01:17 |
| Wolfman2000 | Linera: it's not "run" | 01:17 |
| ericmcaine | i would just get rid of the content on the drive | 01:18 |
| ericmcaine | does it read the partition fine kristian | 01:18 |
| burzki | bsmith093, tried to warn you .. ;-| | 01:18 |
| winstonw | Linera, look at gnome's help browser. | 01:18 |
| winstonw | you don't know how to use gnome, that is your first goal. | 01:19 |
| Linera | I'm on ubuntu not gnome | 01:19 |
| kristian_ | ericmcaine: yeah i suppose, but just figured out it is formatted as fat32. :-/ | 01:19 |
| Billiard | Linera: "alt+F2, gnome-terminal <enter>, free -om <enter>" | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: Ubuntu uses Gnome | 01:19 |
| bsmith093 | gnome is a user interface | 01:19 |
| switch10_ | winstonw: hes messing with you dont waste your time... | 01:19 |
| winstonw | switch10_, right now my time isn't of high value -- waiting for someone irl so I have time to waste :) | 01:19 |
| switch10_ | just saying there are people here that actually need help | 01:21 |
| burzki | winstonw, lol. enjoy | 01:21 |
| bsmith093 | im telling u al remote desktop | 01:21 |
| bazhang | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html Linera here is some fine reading to acquaint yourself with the basics | 01:21 |
| winstonw | lol will do, and yes lets help them peeps | 01:21 |
| Wolfman2000 | ...I found what I needed. Backreferences. | 01:21 |
| winstonw | Gnome's internal documentation is not bad at all I love it actually | 01:21 |
| Zeppelin | how do i make ubuntu show me how much HDD space i have left | 01:21 |
| bsmith093 | disk usage analyser | 01:22 |
| Linera | I just need ubuntu tweaked for performance so it runs fast and not lag | 01:22 |
| Billiard | Zeppelin: "df -h" command maybe | 01:22 |
| winstonw | Zeppelin, with gnome-system-monitor, baobab, or df commands | 01:22 |
| bsmith093 | LINERA WE ARE TRYING TO HELP U IF U JUST FOLL INSTRUCTUIONS | 01:22 |
| bazhang | Linera, you may wish to install a different desktop environment on top of ubuntu. | 01:22 |
| winstonw | the first are accessible via the menu system ( baobab is called Disk Usage Analyzer) | 01:22 |
| bazhang | bsmith093, lose the caps please | 01:22 |
| bsmith093 | sorry for shouting but come on | 01:22 |
| buttons840 | are there any guis for hg mercurial in the repos/ | 01:22 |
| buttons840 | ? | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: I was thinking before about telling them about Ubuntu Pocket Guide, but they are either a troll as some people as some people here are thinking, or someone that expects all the answers to be given here without them having to read any web pages that are given | 01:22 |
| lee | Wolfman2000: damn you, I was just downloading a copy of regexbuddy to figure that out =) | 01:23 |
| winstonw | bsmith093, its ok to get mad, but at someone who is just an entity of text, don't bother. | 01:23 |
| buttons840 | i heard about something called tortoise-hg, but can't find it | 01:23 |
| Billiard | Linera: run that command i previously mentioned, if you dont meet the minimum requirements for ram, you wont get good performance | 01:23 |
| Wolfman2000 | lee: *chuckles* regexbuddy? Sounds like a good name of a program. I'll take a look. | 01:23 |
| lee | Wolfman2000: it is very *very* good, or at least was in 2006 | 01:23 |
| temoto | buttons840: tortoise is windows thing. You want hgtk or hgview. | 01:23 |
| Wolfman2000 | ...it's also a Windows program. :( | 01:23 |
| lee | I no longer have the brainspace to dedicate to regexps =) | 01:24 |
| bsmith093 | btw i always wondered does a troll mean abot or just someone who pisses people ooff bc they can | 01:24 |
| lee | yes, there's also a linux version | 01:24 |
| winstonw | which means it can be more tightly integrated with Windows exclusively buttons840 | 01:24 |
| temoto | bsmith093: second. | 01:24 |
| burzki | bazhang, that has been suggested from the very beginning | 01:24 |
| bsmith093 | temtot what did u mean | 01:24 |
| temoto | bsmith093: troll doesn't mean a bot. | 01:24 |
| bsmith093 | oh tanx | 01:24 |
| lee | in fact, the website is telling me that my license doesn't cover me for a windows version (I am trying to download it under firefox in windows), only linux... which is a bit annoying =) | 01:25 |
| burzki | bsmith093, i think its just someone killing time | 01:25 |
| temoto | ... by pissing other people off. | 01:25 |
| switch10_ | burzki: yes | 01:25 |
| bsmith093 | amen | 01:25 |
| Linera | nothing for seeing ram unless i install windows | 01:26 |
| winstonw | Well, if he actually learned something, I'm happy | 01:26 |
| Linera | :( | 01:26 |
| bsmith093 | hey does pidgin have voice chat i can talk faster than i type | 01:26 |
| switch10_ | bsmith093: nope | 01:26 |
| bsmith093 | awwww crud | 01:26 |
| switch10_ | bsmith093: empathy does though | 01:26 |
| winstonw | Linera, send me a private message if you aren't trolling and I'll help you with your questions | 01:26 |
| witeshark | use skype | 01:26 |
| lee | Wolfman2000: oh - sorry - it appears to have changed in v3, and there's no linux version... well that sucks, one of the reasons I bought it was to support linux developers, nevermind =) | 01:26 |
| Billiard | Linera: you are now no longer able to talk in this channel until you figure out how to run the command "free -om" on your own and pastebin the results for us | 01:26 |
| temoto | bsmith093: that's kinda funny. They introduced new IM only because Pidgin doesn't have voice chat. Empathy is all ways worse, but it does have voice support :) | 01:27 |
| Linera | dunno how to send a private message | 01:27 |
| jvasile | I am attempting to enable multicast in pulseaudio, but the option to enable multicast sender is greyed out in the device chooser. How can I enable it? Thanks. | 01:27 |
| winstonw | Linera, /message username "body of message" | 01:27 |
| temoto | winstonw: what have you done... | 01:27 |
| switch10_ | temoto: i like empathy... | 01:27 |
| winstonw | temoto, getting him off #ubuntu and into my own realm | 01:27 |
| temoto | switch10_: k, no offense to people. | 01:27 |
| bsmith093 | i do too but not the program | 01:27 |
| switch10_ | haha | 01:27 |
| switch10_ | none takin | 01:27 |
| winstonw | If he really needs help individuals can handle it better | 01:28 |
| Linera | then just talk to me in the room, I'm not typing that everytime | 01:28 |
| lee | *** winstonw is on #ubuntu #masochism #insane | 01:28 |
| winstonw | Linera, it should open another message "dialog" or "window" | 01:28 |
| winstonw | xD | 01:28 |
| temoto | or weechat buffer | 01:28 |
| winstonw | is there a masochim channel? | 01:28 |
| winstonw | yeah that too | 01:28 |
| winstonw | In effect it'll open a new window for you | 01:28 |
| t__ | say I want do put a virtual system I use in virtualbox in a different partition so I can install a new OS and reformat and not loose this. where is the file at? | 01:29 |
| temoto | There's quite a chance you're trying to help an old fat troll whos using weechat under icewm. | 01:29 |
| burzki | winstonw, we've tried all that | 01:29 |
| Alystair | I'm getting the shakes installing ubuntu in VM, forcing myself to learn something about unix so I can actually use some cutting edge development stuff (in comparison to windows) | 01:29 |
| bsmith093 | t__ | 01:29 |
| Alystair | scary. | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | t__: you mean use a psyical partition in Virtualbox? | 01:29 |
| bsmith093 | install virtualbox ose | 01:29 |
| t__ | er | 01:29 |
| winstonw | Linera, did you get my personal message? | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | t__: a psysical install in Virtualbox? | 01:30 |
| t__ | i have a program installed in my virtual system | 01:30 |
| burzki | winstonw, let it be .. | 01:30 |
| Linera | only see firefox, buddy list on this room | 01:30 |
| t__ | that i dont want to loose | 01:30 |
| Linera | and this* | 01:30 |
| winstonw | burzki, probably will have to lol. | 01:30 |
| t__ | but i do want to chang my native os to ubuntu | 01:30 |
| switch10_ | t__: /home/"user"/.virtualbox | 01:31 |
| bastid_raZor | t__: what os is the host? | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | t__: what's your host OS? Windows? | 01:31 |
| t__ | currenrly linux mint going to ubuntu. win xp is the machine | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | t__: be more clear | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | t__: your host is? and your vm is? | 01:31 |
| burzki | winstonw, only because about three doxen of us have been there done that already today .. just the same thing over and over. and all the rest is just ot | 01:32 |
| bsmith093 | well people its been nice tell me if it works out im gonna boot up the debian disc i just burned | 01:32 |

| _Pb | does anyone here use tinywm? | 01:32 |
| rooob | (jk) | 01:32 |
| MenZa | rooob: That's hardly helpful. | 01:32 |
| _Pb | or have had heard of it? | 01:32 |
| t__ | win xp is virtual | 01:32 |
| _Pb | *have | 01:32 |
| t__ | i want to open that same virtual machine in ubuntu as i do LM | 01:33 |
| t__ | so i can have the repair manual for my car | 01:33 |
| bsmith093 | copy thre virtual machine image file | 01:33 |
| berrybarry | could I acess or make posts in linux ternimal for facebook? | 01:33 |
| _Pb | alt+button1 is supposed to move windows, and alt+button3 is supposed to resize them, but neither do anything | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | t__: ok | 01:34 |
| t__ | k, so prob that /user/.virtualmachine | 01:34 |
| t__ | thanks | 01:34 |
| bsmith093 | yes t its in theer | 01:34 |
| Billiard | berrybarry: you probably could make a script to do it if you really wanted | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | t__: got a seperate /home partition no? | 01:34 |
| _Pb | please guys I need help, dwm is too bloated | 01:34 |
| Linera | so no one can help me tweak ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| bsmith093 | LINERA | 01:34 |
| berrybarry | Billiard thanks | 01:34 |
| bsmith093 | yes we are | 01:34 |
| t__ | heh im not positive | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | t__: I guess seperate /home for Mint and Ubuntu will be very similar | 01:35 |
| switch10_ | jsut ignore | 01:35 |
| t__ | it says /home/"user" | 01:35 |
| ctmjr | Linera: sorry no | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | t__: I meant on it's own partition you probably don't have that | 01:35 |
| bsmith093 | linera open a terminal | 01:35 |
| bsmith093 | type sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 01:35 |
| digitalaxis | bsmith093: Linera wont, we have already tried telling them to like 30min ago | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | t__: anyway you just need .virtualbox in the home Ubuntu will use, and your vm should work fine | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | t__: or | 01:35 |
| Billiard | Linera: correct, no one can help you here, time to leave | 01:35 |
| lee | ctmjr: is the correct answer! =) | 01:35 |
| D3RGPS31 | how do i disable "enter name of file to save to" so firefox just saves the file with its name in the default directory; without my intervention after selecting to save it | 01:35 |
| rooob | Linera, what your problem | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | t__: you have the vmdk file some where, change the config file and yep it works. plus you can set up a new virtual machine in Virtualbox and tell it to use the old virtual hard disk | 01:36 |
| winstonw | burzki, where are the ops when you need them? | 01:36 |
| lee | D3RGPS31: go into the Firefox prefs and tell it to save to a dir rather than prompt you each time | 01:36 |
| winstonw | !op Linera | 01:36 |
| Billiard | rooob: he is a troll | 01:36 |
| Jamed_ | winstonw: its ops | 01:36 |
| bsmith093 | winston what does that mean | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | t__: vmdk file uhmm that's VMware not virtualbox, I meant the virtual hard disk file for Virtuabox, the vhd file | 01:36 |
| winstonw | !ops Linera | 01:36 |
| rooob | that's your problem with him, not his problem :o | 01:36 |
| burzki | winstonw, i was fakin it earlier, i think they're aware | 01:36 |
| bsmith093 | exclamation op | 01:36 |
| winstonw | oh hehe | 01:36 |
| t__ | vdi? | 01:36 |
| digitalaxis | ATTENTION: linera doesnt actually want help or just refuses to listen, we have been TRYING to help them for hours | 01:36 |
| D3RGPS31 | lee: i award you 1 interwebz o: | 01:36 |
| _Pb | i would gladly help Linera in a private chat if i could get some help in return | 01:36 |
| t__ | whats vdi? | 01:37 |
| Linera | I'm new to linux. I'm running linux Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop with low ram. How can I tweak the os to run on the bare basics? | 01:37 |
| Linera | that | 01:37 |
| * lee adds it to the pile | 01:37 | |
| sebsebseb | t__: ok open up your home folder on mint | 01:37 |
| bsmith093 | t__ in the virtualbox hidden folder | 01:37 |
| digitalaxis | Linera: We have told you about 100000000 TIMES | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | t__: show the hidden files look in .virtualbox | 01:37 |
| bsmith093 | there is a .vdi file | 01:37 |
| switch10_ | rooob: he warned you. everyone here is ignoring him he has been asking the same questions for hours | 01:37 |
| D3RGPS31 | lee: wait; it is set not to intervene, but it still does o: | 01:37 |
| _Pb | how do i shot web in ubuntu | 01:37 |
| linuxnoob | i need help with ubuntu regarding gnome and a home folder | 01:37 |
| burzki | winstonw, but filing an extra never hurts. maybe there should be about ten, then maybe they would catch on and just block him solid | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | !feed | 01:37 |
| berrybarry | Linera run xfce or older ubuntu | 01:37 |
| EastDallas | Linera: You can try switching the interface to xfce | 01:38 |
| switch10_ | linuxnoob: what is your question | 01:38 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, how low is your ram? | 01:38 |
| MenZa | !feeding the troll | 01:38 |
| ubottu | The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. | 01:38 |
| MenZa | sebsebseb: ^ | 01:38 |
| digitalaxis | Linuxnoob: What about it do you need help with | 01:38 |
| EastDallas | !xubuntu | Linera: | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Linera:: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 01:38 |
| _Pb | !tinywm | 01:38 |
| Linera | i need ubuntu tweaked for performance | 01:38 |
| t__ | ah that was what i was missing, show hidden files | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | MenZa: yep :) that's what I wanted, altough Linera might just be a rather confussed user, instead of a troll, but quite a lot of people think they are a troll | 01:38 |
| EastDallas | berrybarry>EastDallas :p | 01:38 |
| burzki | rooob, ubuntuisloved dont go there | 01:38 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, how low is your ram? | 01:38 |
| Linera | no dxdiag, so i dunno how much ram | 01:38 |
| bsmith093 | FOR THE LAST TIME LINERA WE KNOW THE ANSWER NOT OUR FAULT IF U WON'T LISTEN | 01:38 |
| lee | sebsebseb: the lack of any response to suggestions screams troll to me | 01:39 |
| berrybarry | EastDallas I would just run ubuntu 7x hehe | 01:39 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, are you aware of the model of your machine? | 01:39 |
| linuxnoob | i went to login and it said that the gnome default where not properly set up, and would not let me login as a admin | 01:39 |
| Linera | a dell | 01:39 |
| Jamed_ | winstonw: its ops | 01:39 |
| berrybarry | or suse 9.1 personal ha | 01:39 |
| Jamed_ | !ops | Linera asks the same question over and over, ignoring any attempts to help. i consider that trolling | 01:39 |
| ubottu | Linera asks the same question over and over, ignoring any attempts to help. i consider that trolling: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! | 01:39 |
| Jamed_ | winstonw: sorry | 01:39 |
| t__ | wth is a troll and what is wrong with it | 01:39 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, dell is the brand not model | 01:39 |
| switch10_ | Linera is a troll for thos who dont know... hes been here for hours screwing with people | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | MenZa: not really the right factoid, but I was thinking don't feed the troll, don't message them and they will probably stop sending messages etc. | 01:39 |
| MenZa | !feeding the troll | Everyone | 01:40 |
| ubottu | Everyone: The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. | 01:40 |
| lee | a screaming troll, like a flaming homosexual, but less firey | 01:40 |
| EastDallas | Linera: xfce is just the interface between you and the core of Ubuntu (linux). You basically will be running ubuntu if you switch to xubuntu. and it's really a pretty easy change | 01:40 |
| _Pb | does anyone here use twm? | 01:40 |
| MenZa | lee: That's enough of that, thank you. | 01:40 |
| berrybarry | Linera 700mhz? | 01:40 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, I'm thinking if your not aware of what a brand vs model is your in rough shape to learn much of anything i wish you luck | 01:40 |
| burzki | sebsebseb, cant be That confused - has been given very basic/explicit instruction | 01:40 |
| Billiard | !ops | Linera is a troll, complaining about lack of dxdiag, won't answer any questions when attempted to be helped | 01:40 |

| Linera | its an old dell laptop | 01:40 |
| burzki | !feeding | EastDallas | 01:41 |
| digitalaxis | Linera: That doesnt help any, whats the model. | 01:41 |
| bsmith093 | how old | 01:41 |

| Linera | inspiro | 01:41 |
| Aethies | Sup peeps | 01:41 |
| Linera | inspiron* | 01:41 |
| berrybarry | Linera read the model on the bottom its a sticker | 01:41 |
| jvasile | I am attempting to enable multicast in pulseaudio, but the option to enable multicast sender is greyed out in the device chooser. How can I enable it? Thanks. | 01:41 |
| Jamed_ | winstonw: i hit up, when trying to to hit enter :D | 01:41 |
| Linera | 5100 | 01:41 |
| berrybarry | hold on | 01:42 |
| digitalaxis | Linera: There are about 10ish inspirons, be specific please. 1150, 510, 1525? what? | 01:42 |
| linuxnoob | i went to login and it said that the gnome default where not properly set up, and would not let me login as a admin | 01:42 |

| jchavez | hello people i have one problme with my canon ip1800 installed driver but when need print show me this error http://jorechp.com/wow/p.png | 01:42 |
| lee | D3RGPS31: hmm, sorry, it sounds like you have the right option set... are you restoring a session when you launch FF or are you starting a new one? | 01:42 |
| D3RGPS31 | lee: new | 01:42 |
| berrybarry | Linera ubuntu 7.10 would run great :) | 01:43 |
| MenZa | berrybarry: Stop suggesting unsupported releases. | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | !7.10 | berrybarry Linera | 01:43 |
| ubottu | berrybarry Linera: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 01:43 |
| ubuntuisloved | Linera, I'd recommend starting with either a light weight distro like xubuntu or a light weight window manager | 01:43 |
| D3RGPS31 | lee: i also shortened my quest :D "how do i disable firefox' save dialog" | 01:43 |
| jthing | linuxnoob, reboot and at the grub screen press e on the boot item. Then eter a text option. This boots you in text mode. | 01:43 |
| bsmith093 | dekko gone in 2 seconds | 01:44 |
| digitalaxis | Linera: You barely have minimum reqs for ubuntu 9.10. I reccomend downloading Xubuntu. | 01:44 |
| linuxnoob | u mean command line? | 01:44 |

| ubuntuisloved | burzki, maybe he's pig headed | 01:45 |
| burzki | digitalaxis, suggested hours ago | 01:45 |
| lee | D3RGPS31: sorry, I don't know, sounds like you have the right option set alreay, if you have "Save files to..." and a folder selected | 01:45 |
| switch10_ | ubuntuisloved: stop feeding the troll please | 01:45 |
| fizk__ | I dunno if anyone realizes, but a Jaunty --> Karmic upgrade doesn't really update everything as though it was a new install | 01:45 |
| digitalaxis | burzki: I know i was here, but for all we know Linera is a young kid or a really slow reader who doesnt know how to scroll. | 01:45 |
| switch10_ | there are people here that actually need help | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: I already knew that | 01:45 |
| fizk__ | I just installed Karmic on a new hd and it's pretty sweet | 01:45 |
| berrybarry | MenZa .... tell her about upgrading ram I assume its 256mb ha | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: no Grub 2 on upgrade, and Ext3 9.04 installs won't become Ext4 on upgrade | 01:46 |
| MenZa | berrybarry: Irrelevant. | 01:46 |
| melvincv | is there a proper download accelerator for ubuntu? I'd prefer GUI. | 01:46 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, ah | 01:46 |
| Linera | I'm on ubuntu already so stop telling me to reinstall it | 01:46 |
| Billiard | Linera: you can try install xfce, you may get better performance than the default gnome, you can install this on your current ubuntu installation without reinstalling. google for a guide "ubuntu install xfce", if you have problems with something Specific, you can ask that here | 01:46 |
| digitalaxis | berryberry: Its a 512MB RAM laptop. | 01:46 |
| Linera | no point in doing so | 01:46 |
| bsmith093 | menze what does thr exclamaiotn ops thing do | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: what you don't understand is this | 01:46 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: Ubuntu is the base | 01:46 |
| Firefishe | I'm using Ibex (Desktop--right now) and Karmic on a laptop (not currently connected). My ISP is a point-to-point WISP, using Tranzio TR-CPQ-19f tranceivers (big square all-in-one unit mounted on my residence). They recently had an outage, and ever since then, my router--a Linksys WRT-54g (Firmware Version: v4.30.5)--connections are all slow. It's okay just connected directly to the antenna. | 01:46 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, were you able to get Windows to boot w/ Grub2? | 01:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | switch10_, who's authorized to call him that? you? | 01:47 |
| MenZa | bsmith093: It alerts us (the ops) that something's wrong in here, and that we should respond to it. | 01:47 |
| digitalaxis | Linera: You should have done your research before installing it. Because you will never get ubuntu to run how YOU want it to with your system | 01:47 |
| ftw | melvincv: I use DownthemAll http://www.downthemall.net/ for Firefox | 01:47 |

| berrybarry | digitalaxis only good for basics... | 01:47 |
| Linera | people keep saying to install ubuntu | 01:47 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, if you have win installed | 01:47 |

| digitalaxis | Linera: WE want you to install XUBUNTU, its NOT the same thing. YOU wont notice the diffrence as much, but your system will use it more efficiently | 01:48 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: Xubuntu can be downloaded as it's own operating system instead of Ubuntu. However you can also install Xubuntu into your Ubuntu install, then you have both, Ubuntu and Xubuntu. and you choose which one to use from the log in screen, one will be the default as well. | 01:48 |

| MenZa | ardian: Once you're in ftp, write 'open ftp.server.com' -- then you're prompted for a password/user | 01:52 |
| MenZa | ardian: 'put filename' | 01:52 |
| IdleOne | Linera: you can also hit the alt-F2 keys and then type xterm in the box that opens | 01:52 |

| MenZa | ardian: Apparently, you're trying to upload the file 'pc', which is not in your current directory. | 01:53 |
| MenZa | Bookman: I'm unaware of the specifics, but you can probably use ffmpeg or mencoder | 01:54 |
| ardian | Yes it is | 01:54 |

| cgkades | doesnt xubuntu run a different wm | 01:59 |
| sebsebseb | Linera: you can find out how much RAM you have in Ubuntu/Xubuntu as well you just need the correct command, and to put it in the terminal | 01:59 |

| chrls | hey all. :) I'm wondering how I could redirect an output to a program argument? for instance, I want to redirect the output of ls to my_program --foo <output here> | 02:24 |
| alid | jmp_: I'm running 9.04 live CD. There's no /etc/boot there. | 02:24 |
| lee | much like ESXi presuming that you don't want things like the dell/hp utility partition wen you install it... | 02:24 |
| burzki | but really, a page in the wiki, or a sticky in the forums or soemthing about how not to install windows over ubuntu | 02:24 |
| Jamed | alid: since the livecd has a different grub, than your installed version, i guess you have to mount the ubuntu partition(s) and chroot in. then you can do a grub-install /dev/sdX (where X is most probably 'a') | 02:24 |
| jmp_ | alid, but go to the files system of ur spoiled linux | 02:24 |
| switch10_ | chrls > output.txt | 02:25 |
| alid | Let me mount it. | 02:25 |

| ^Phantom^ | Is it possible to install and run ubuntu on 192MB of RAM? | 02:25 |
| chrls | what I really want to do is pass the output of ls to mplayer -playlist | 02:25 |
| bazhang | Linera, sure | 02:25 |
| bazhang | Linera, look at the channels you have open | 02:26 |
| DaZ | chrls: something like this should work too | 02:26 |
| bazhang | Linera, one of them is #ubuntu-ops | 02:26 |
| DaZ | either this way or piped | 02:26 |
| jmp_ | alid, did u mounted it? | 02:26 |
| alid | jmp_: Yea. I did. | 02:26 |
| switch10_ | ^phantom^: use xubuntu | 02:26 |
| kostkon | chrls, ls > out.txt && mplayer -playlist out.txt ? | 02:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | switch10_: What is xubuntu? | 02:26 |
| jmp_ | alid, then look for that folder: /etc/grub.d | 02:27 |
| alid | jmp_: I'm in. | 02:27 |
| bazhang | Linera, within pidgin there are more than one channels open | 02:27 |
| jmp_ | alid, ok you see the files | 02:27 |
| alid | Now what? | 02:27 |
| alid | Yea. | 02:27 |

| starcannon | nickkontos, remove your old drivers to start with(the ones for the card you removed), reboot, and see if it "just works" you may need to go into System>Preferences>Visual Effects and turn them on as well | 02:36 |
| jmp_ | alid, ok but u should not use it | 02:36 |

| sid_ | dragon:restart after??? | 03:02 |
| PrototypeX29A | even after i rebootet with the generic kernel wlan does not work. it seems something has changed the algorithm which selects the actice network is not working right | 03:02 |
| dragon | sid_: after you noticed this problem for the first time | 03:02 |
| dragon | !enter | PrototypeX29A | 03:02 |

| sid_ | dragon:yes again it came the same | 03:03 |
| Dorkins | so i install ubuntu in wubi? | 03:03 |
| gotmilk82 | help....I need to update my bios on my machine, but dell never made a bios updater for linux...I am kind of a newb....I tried to make a winpe boot usb, but that failed miserably.... | 03:03 |
| PrototypeX29A | dragon: if I do it in one line irc will swallow it | 03:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | I am downloading xubuntu ^_^ | 03:03 |
| dragon | sid_: hit Ctrl + Alt + F1, login and run `dmesg | pastebinit ` | 03:03 |
| dragon | PrototypeX29A: I haven't heard that one before. IRC swallows lines? | 03:04 |
| PrototypeX29A | dragon: guess there is a maximum length | 03:04 |
| PrototypeX29A | it is then cut somewhere | 03:04 |
| Dac-iPhone | Still there, dragon? | 03:04 |
| ^Phantom^ | Thankies | 03:04 |
| fizk__ | Does anyone know how why my Ubuntu/Windows 7 duel boot always returns to the Grub 2 menu for Win7? | 03:04 |
| fizk__ | It's always been like this, I hoped Grub2 would be better | 03:04 |
| RobbieThe1st | I'm having trouble installing PureFTPD on a Ubuntu 9.04 VPS - It installs, but I see: "Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l pam -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -u 1000 -E -B" and then "invoke-rc.d: initscript pure-ftpd, action "start" failed." Any ideas? | 03:04 |
| dragon | PrototypeX29A: it's hard to follow what you're saying because of the disconnected messages. Try typing longer. | 03:04 |
| fizk__ | update-grub even found the OS boot info for Win 7 | 03:05 |
| Dorkins | well then. i guess no help | 03:05 |
| gotmilk82 | well the winpe bootable usb worked fine, but it wanted to install win 7 which is not what I had in mind. I just wanted to install the one BIOS updater from dell | 03:05 |
| losha | planktum_: so what are you typing, exactly? | 03:05 |
| xicistle | how do I pass kernel options with grub2? | 03:05 |
| PrototypeX29A | now to my question. Does specific kernel possibly change the settings of the network so that in another sessions (with generic kernel) wlan will not work anymore? | 03:05 |
| dragon | Dac-iPhone: No clue what's wrong. I might be able to help further if you pastebin the output of apt-get. | 03:06 |
| kitty_ | looking for someone familiar with Kmyfirewall, software routing, and multiple network interfaces | 03:06 |
| centHOGG | !Kmyfirewall | 03:06 |
| dragon | PrototypeX29A: It doesn't change settings that way. | 03:06 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, The kernel you choose determines directly what hardware drivers are available and which are used. It is possible that some generic kernel does not handle your wlan card correctly | 03:06 |
| sid_ | dragon:nothing worked | 03:06 |
| dragon | sid_: that's bad. | 03:07 |
| burzki | PrototypeX29A, possibly. though i dont know that anything should change. there are netwrok changes in the kernel for 9.10 | 03:07 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: it has worked before | 03:07 |
| planktum_ | losha, hi zsh: no matches found: --exclude=/proc/* | 03:07 |
| dragon | xicistle: /etc/default/grub | 03:07 |
| magic_ninja | hmm | 03:07 |
| Dorkins | I just LOVE all the help I'm getting. :( | 03:07 |
| magic_ninja | so here is an interesting scenario | 03:07 |
| Dac-iPhone | No worries mate. I'll come back later. | 03:07 |
| sid_ | dragon:ya really ..nothing is opening | 03:07 |
| PrototypeX29A | i was using wlan with 9.10 before, now it is (completely) broken | 03:07 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, I can't say for sure if that is the reason. I'm just saying it is possible for a kernel to effect how hardware works (although it doesn't seem like it should :) ) | 03:07 |
| xicistle | dragon ... and then I run grub-update? | 03:07 |
| planktum_ | losha, seems i have to deal in a particular way with the * else zsh will exit | 03:07 |
| sid_ | dragon:how now??? | 03:08 |
| dragon | !who | Dorkins | 03:08 |
| ubottu | Dorkins: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | Do you guys give support for xubuntu installation process? | 03:08 |
| burzki | Dorkins, looked to me like your question was answered .. | 03:08 |
| dragon | sid_: no idea | 03:08 |
| dragon | xicistle: I think so | 03:08 |
| magic_ninja | i have this external drive with windows 7 installer-->ubuntu installer-->500 meg swap-->data storage, i need to get grub configured on the mbr of the external drive to load windows installer or linux installer based on choice, any ideas on where to start with that | 03:08 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: i just was insisting, that it is not only the choice of the one kernel alone, that causes the problem | 03:08 |
| sid_ | em getting this error :::Could not find the file /media/7CD4B494D4B4525E/idpas.:::what does it mean and how to fix it???please help | 03:08 |
| dragon | Dorkins: did you read the wubi documentation in those links? | 03:08 |
| sid_ | dragon:thanks any way | 03:08 |
| graelb | Hi all | 03:09 |
| ^Phantom^ | Do I need to partition my drive from within windows? | 03:09 |
| dragon | sid_: np | 03:09 |
| losha | planktum_: so what does echo /proc/* report when run as the user, and compare it to when run as sudo | 03:09 |
| ^Phantom^ | So many questions! I feel like a noob again :S | 03:09 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, I don't know what you mean? it is not only the choice of the one kernel? As opposed to 2 kernels? | 03:09 |
| graelb | I need help with something, but i'm not sure if anyone here can help. I need some help with wine and a game. Is there a wine channel i can use? or should i just ask my question here? | 03:09 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: no, you don't need to partition it that way. What kind of partition config are you planning to have? | 03:09 |
| Dorkins | :( | 03:09 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: 2.6.16-generic did work. now it does not anymore | 03:09 |
| xicistle | dragon ... Ive tried this before .. I added the line acpi="linux" to /etc/default/grub | 03:09 |
| ^Phantom^ | dragon: 10GB for xubuntu, the rest will stay with windows | 03:09 |
| planktum_ | losha, just added \* and it works under user | 03:10 |
| xicistle | dragon ... and then I ran grub-update | 03:10 |
| ^Phantom^ | dragon: So I'll be dual-booting windows and xubuntu | 03:10 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, Well if the kernel didn't change before or after the problem than it's pretty obvious it didn't cause the problem :) | 03:10 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: you might also want to create a third partition for data. That really helps when any of the OS goes bad. | 03:10 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: i used another kernel in between | 03:10 |
| losha | planktum_: doesn't sudo run bash by default i.e. you're using two different shells.... | 03:10 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: it didn't work then, but it still does not work now | 03:10 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, OIC, so you switched back! Check something real quick. Does the card show up in your bios? | 03:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | This laptop is an "on-the-go" laptop, so I don't keep any critical or important data on it | 03:11 |
| Dorkins | such lovely help :( | 03:11 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: how do i do that? | 03:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | So if something goes wrong, then I'll just start over from scratch :D | 03:11 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: Boot from a LiveCD or LiveUSB, run gparted and resize your existing windows partition, and create new partitions as you want to. | 03:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | dragon: sweet, thankies | 03:11 |
| losha | planktum_: oops. Forget that. The * should be expanded on the command line by zsh in both cases. Dunno why they're different then... | 03:11 |
| RobbieThe1st | I'm having trouble installing PureFTPD on a Ubuntu 9.04 VPS - It installs, but I see: "Running: /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l pam -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -u 1000 -E -B" and then "invoke-rc.d: initscript pure-ftpd, action "start" failed." Any ideas? | 03:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | livecd is 20% done ^_^ | 03:11 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: i think the wlan is recognized, even by the os. But it is disconnect by purpose | 03:11 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: during installation, choose to assign partitions manually | 03:12 |
| * ^Phantom^ goes digging for a blank CD | 03:12 | |
| planktum_ | losha, thanks anyway your explanation help me understand the issue | 03:12 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, does it show up in "sudo lspci" ? | 03:12 |
| ctmjr | Dorkins: whats your guetion? | 03:12 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: LiveUSBs are easier in my opinion | 03:12 |
| planktum_ | losha, but so far, as it runs oke, then im fine | 03:12 |
| losha | planktum_: wish I could say I understood it properly myself :-) | 03:12 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: but passing on the CD would be good too | 03:12 |

| burzki | PrototypeX29A, what is the new kernel you upped to? | 03:13 |
| dragon | Dorkins: stop being a pessimistic sarcastic whiny kid and get it straight. What's your question? | 03:13 |
| Dorkins | is there anyway to run ubuntu inside windows xp pro? | 03:14 |

| ^Phantom^ | no scripts on this machine | 03:17 |
| burzki | Dorkins, better to run a live cd from windows like xicistle mentioned | 03:18 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki, edbian: it looks like ipv4 is disabled for some reason | 03:18 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, Well that's odd... You def need that | 03:18 |
| burzki | PrototypeX29A, check your drivers are still in place | 03:18 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, Unless you have a ipv6 network | 03:19 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: no i have nbot | 03:19 |

| Dorkins | I just want to run ubuntu inside windows. | 03:19 |
| riegersn | dragon, im connected wirelessly from 3 other devices at the moment - checked my router and yes dhcp is enabled | 03:19 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: where should i look after them? | 03:19 |
| Dorkins | not outside windows | 03:19 |
| burzki | ^Phantom^, use a clean cd, not one that has had other data on it already | 03:19 |
| gotmilk82 | I could never get it to get into anything that resembled dos and I could not find a way to start the DELLBIOSUPDATER.exe instead of the setup.exe they had. I changed the autoblah, but no dice :( | 03:19 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, lspci -k shows what module you're using for what device right now | 03:19 |
| xicistle | dorkins: why would you want to run linux inside of windows? | 03:19 |
| burzki | Dorkins, burn a liveCD, boot up windows, insert cd. go | 03:20 |
| Dorkins | cuz I don't know linux and don't want to run on only linux | 03:20 |
| edbian | xicistle, So that you don't have to re-start the machine to use it | 03:20 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: Kernbnel driver in use: ath9k | 03:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | 40% done with live iso :D | 03:20 |
| burzki | xicistle, and to learn it | 03:21 |
| brian_ | hey my mouse has 4 buttons so i want to change the "simulate middle click" to my button 2 how can i do this so i can paste with button 2 insted of a middle click | 03:21 |
| dragon | burzki, xicistle, edbian: I'm helping Dorkins in a private message. He isn't acknowledging replies here. | 03:21 |
| edbian | PrototypeX29A, so there is a module being used. Unfortunately I have no idea how to tell what the right one should be. You can google to see if there are others. It's hard to do this. In my opinion it is too hard but I don't have the expertise to fix the code | 03:21 |
| edbian | dragon, I'm not talking to him? | 03:22 |
| xicistle | dragon: your patience amazes me | 03:22 |
| burzki | dragon, got it | 03:22 |
| dragon | edbian: in a PM? don't know. | 03:22 |
| ctmjr | Dorkins: read this link on how to do what you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 03:22 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: maybe the compilation process of the other kernel did mess things up | 03:23 |
| Bookman | I am trying to use the USB startup creator with a USB stick and it says that it has to format it before use. I try to format it and it disappears. IT is the same usb stick that I installed 9.10 with so I know it works. | 03:23 |
| PrototypeX29A | edbian: i will try do deinstall the package | 03:23 |
| burzki | PrototypeX29A, sorry. a bit busy over here. thx edbian | 03:24 |

| Bookman | Go nuts | 03:27 |
| === berrybarry|away is now known as berrybarry | ||
| dragon | what's the simplest way (for that kid) to create a virtual machine? | 03:27 |
| quietone | anyone help with the sound preferences in 9.10? | 03:27 |
| xicistle | dragon: crayons and a cardboard box | 03:28 |
| quietone | oop, I mean I want to use the sound pref app from 9.04. how do I change it? | 03:28 |
| mazda01 | vvor, didn't fix desktop problem. i need to know how to change the default session through a conf file, i have no menu to access it the way I would normally | 03:28 |
| dragon | xicistle: lol | 03:28 |
| Bookman | xicistle, go nuts | 03:28 |
| xicistle | dragon ... I would push the live cd on him ... he will be happier because it wont lag so hard | 03:28 |
| dragon | xicistle: he wants to run both Windoze and Linux at the same time | 03:29 |
| vvor | mazda01: do you use gdm kdm | 03:29 |
| xicistle | dragon ... then wubi is the fastest route for him to do that ... although I dont think he will like it | 03:29 |
| dragon | xicistle: wubi would involve booting into ubuntu - i tried but he doesn't want that either. | 03:30 |
| mazda01 | vvor, gdm | 03:30 |
| dragon | xicistle: I know wubi is perfect for his situation | 03:30 |
| PrototypeX29A | hooray, at least my wlan is working again | 03:30 |
| xicistle | dragon: doesn't the live CD act as a vm when inserted into a windows machine anyway? | 03:30 |
| mazda01 | vvor, in mythbuntu. i am also noticing after upgrade icon | 03:30 |
| vvor | mazda01: so tou should have at the buttom aplce to switch wm | 03:31 |
| mazda01 | 's are missing. i am in mythbuntu-control-center and the upgrade icon isn't there | 03:31 |
| dragon | xicistle: no, one has to reboot - it's a bootable CD | 03:31 |
| mazda01 | vvor, i am looking in mythbuntu-control-center now. i thought mythbuntu-control-center still had a start menu when not in mythfrontend though | 03:31 |
| islington | mazda01: you want to set default session without using gui? | 03:31 |

| burzki | PrototypeX29A, one of the changes being made in the kernel is how drivers, ie wifi, work in the system. so driver data gets changed from kernel to kernel and would blacklist old versions (drivers) to get tham out of the way. or something like that. | 03:37 |
| Danielpk | dragon, where show all machines from network. | 03:37 |

| islington | mazda01: just fix it in the conf file, do this | 03:37 |
| mazda01 | islington, ok | 03:37 |
| pspfreak | it will get stuck at the ubuntu screen after the boot. | 03:37 |
| islington | mazda01: open a new fresh terminal | 03:37 |
| bodi | I am rumming ubuntu 9.1 and want to do a dual boot with backtrack 4 , I tried it once and wammo ubuntu gone lol what is the proper way ? I know this is a ubuntu chat but i can;find any topics any where else | 03:37 |
| webbb82 | is there a way to paste txt with a hot key , i have a 4 button mouse so i cant paste highlighted txt with the middle click | 03:37 |
| Danielpk | dragon, yes, at Win7 | 03:37 |
| dragon | Danielpk: That's a Windows-specific question. Try ##windows | 03:38 |
| Danielpk | Humm.. ok. | 03:38 |
| jrib | webbb82: shift-insert | 03:38 |
| Danielpk | Thx | 03:38 |
| islington | mazda01: type in "sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf" | 03:38 |
| burzki | PrototypeX29A, to know exactly what that was, you would have to follow the changelogs - closely .. my general notion is dont fix whats not broke ;-) | 03:38 |
| dragon | pspfreak: Are you able to switch the vt? Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | what one is the incert | 03:38 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: yes, but the problem does not seem to lie within the kernel, but in the .deb | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | o i found it | 03:38 |
| mazda01 | islington, i will do gksudo but ok, im with you | 03:38 |
| jrib | webbb82: also, you can enable middle-click emulation and just left and right click simeltaneously. The insert button is by PageUp and PageDown usually | 03:38 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: but it is broken :) | 03:38 |
| pspfreak | I dont know. But is there a way I could make it auto log on? When I click the unlock button it doesn't do anything | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | ok well is it possible to change the hot key | 03:39 |
| islington | mazda01: either way | 03:39 |
| pspfreak | could I do it from config files? | 03:39 |
| dragon | pspfreak: there's no unlock on login screen. | 03:39 |
| jrib | webbb82: probably, but I don't know how? | 03:39 |
| bastid_raZor | !gksudo | islington | 03:39 |
| ubottu | islington: 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) | 03:39 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: i am struggling for days to get my system running, i think there is a bug in the kernel | 03:39 |
| mazda01 | islington, listening | 03:39 |
| Pelo | anyone know a way other then using cups to send a signal to a printer to make sure everything works properly ? | 03:39 |
| jrib | webbb82: a kludy way is to just bind a key to the proper « xclip » command | 03:39 |
| burzki | PrototypeX29A, well .. who knows what changes .. much still a mystery to me .. glad you got it back. leave well enough alone maybe | 03:39 |
| bodi | psp i seen a forum somewhere on chaning password or turning it off somewhere | 03:39 |
| jrib | kludgy even | 03:39 |
| islington | kk, what are you seeing in the gedit that opened up, mazda01? | 03:40 |
| pspfreak | dragan: I am talking about if you go to System>Administrattion, login screen | 03:40 |
| pspfreak | bodi: I know my pass, it is just a weird problem | 03:40 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: the generic kernel is not working for me | 03:40 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: that is why i wanted to replace it in the first place | 03:40 |
| webbb82 | jrib, i dont like to hit the first and last button to paste | 03:40 |
| islington | mazda01: you see text? blank file? | 03:40 |
| jrib | webbb82: that's fine | 03:40 |
| dragon | pspfreak: there's an auto-login option | 03:40 |
| mazda01 | islington, a blank text file since I told you that gdm.conf didn't exist. I am familar with linux for the most part. this does have me stumped though. why would my gdm.conf file have gone away | 03:41 |
| pspfreak | I know, but when I click unlock, it doesn't do anything | 03:41 |
| jvasile | Pelo, cat textfile.txt > /dev/lp or some such | 03:41 |
| mazda01 | islington, maybe mythbuntu uses something else besides gdm | 03:41 |
| islington | mazda01: that is odd. | 03:41 |
| Pelo | jvasile, thanks I'll give it a go | 03:41 |
| jvasile | np | 03:41 |
| dragon | pspfreak: it should show an unlock dialog box. If it doesn't discuss it in #ubuntu-bugs and then file a bug. | 03:41 |
| mazda01 | islington, what is xdg, do you know? | 03:41 |
| islington | mazda01: it probably uses the xfce | 03:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | dragon: phantomLink is me... | 03:42 |
| pspfreak | It doesn't, but is there a way I could change it via a conf file? | 03:42 |
| PrototypeX29A | burzki: i guess, i will have to redo the process and document it, if it happens again i will do a bug report | 03:42 |
| mazda01 | islington, which is xdm? | 03:42 |
| webbb82 | jrib, how do i bind a key to xclip | 03:42 |
| jvasile | Pelo, you might have to manually do a page feed to actually get the page to print | 03:42 |
| mazda01 | islington, nope, no xdm either | 03:42 |
| dragon | ^Phantom^: can't do PM, I'm a little busy here. This room would help you out better. | 03:42 |
| ctmjr | mazda01: mythbuntus default is xfce | 03:42 |
| Pelo | jvasile, ? | 03:42 |
| vvor | mazda01: what did you upgrade from and/or to? | 03:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | dragon: okay i'll go talk to the ops | 03:42 |
| drbanzai | Anybody have a guess as to how well a Pentium 266 will work as nothing more then a remote rsync server? | 03:43 |
| jrib | webbb82: you can use for example xbindkeys | 03:43 |
| pspfreak | can I change it via config files? | 03:43 |
| mazda01 | vvor, from 9.04 ubuntu with mythbuntu installed to 9.10 (whatever it did?) I orginally started with feisty and have upgraded dist's over time, then installed mytyhbuntu into 9.04 but thought I got rid of it and was running ubuntu-desktop, now upgraded and am here | 03:44 |
| islington | mazda01: okay shot in the dark here, but what happens when you install gdm? | 03:44 |
| dragon | drbanzai: install ubuntu-server on it and configure it properly. It should do the job well. | 03:44 |
| === berrybarry is now known as berrybarry|away | ||
| jrib | !away > berrybarry|away | 03:44 |
| ubottu | berrybarry|away, please see my private message | 03:44 |
| pspfreak | were can I get ubuntu 9.04 instead? | 03:44 |
| drbanzai | dragon, Cool, thanks. | 03:44 |
| mazda01 | islington, according to aptitude, gdm 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1 is already installed | 03:45 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 and I suggest md5sum/sha1suming or both your ISO before burning the contents to CD as well | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | pspfreak | 03:45 |
| ubottu | pspfreak: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:45 |
| pspfreak | thanks | 03:45 |
| pspfreak | I'm going to go to 9.04 untill 9.10 bugs are fixed | 03:46 |
| Pelo | jvasile, thanks, that did the job , sort of, I now know it's not a problem with cups | 03:46 |
| vvor | mazda01: do you want mythubuntu or ubuntu now? | 03:46 |
| mazda01 | vvor, ubuntu | 03:46 |
| mazda01 | vvor, but i already checked. ubuntu-desktop is already installed | 03:46 |
| islington | mazda01: does this file exist? /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf | 03:46 |
| jvasile | Pelo, glad it worked | 03:46 |
| pspfreak | is there a faster server? I am getting like 500KB a sec. | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | pspfreak: well 10.04 comes out at the end of April | 03:47 |
| chu_ | Hey, I recently set my Karmic install to auto-login for me, the problem is it always asks for my password anyway to activate the wireless... I've tried looking for the key-chain program from Jaunty, but can't find it. Does anyone have any ideas? | 03:47 |
| Pelo | jvasile, it didn'T work which is the point , worked on lp0 but not on lp1 , which is bugging the heck out of me | 03:47 |
| pspfreak | Ok. Bye | 03:47 |
| islington | mazda01: or possibly /etc/gdm/custom.conf? | 03:47 |
| PrototypeX29A | is there a way to see what scritps are executed by a deb-package? | 03:47 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: read the source package? | 03:47 |
| jvasile | Pelo, ah. Sorry to hear that. I haven't debugged a printer in years, though, so I can't really provide much help. | 03:47 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: the source package? | 03:47 |
| webbb82 | jrib, i read that the command to paste highlighted txt is pastie.rb but i made it a hotkey and i get a error message | 03:48 |
| jrib | !source | PrototypeX29A | 03:48 |
| ubottu | PrototypeX29A: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 03:48 |
| PrototypeX29A | ubottu: i generated the deb myself with make-kpkg | 03:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:48 |
| jrib | webbb82: I don't know about pastie.rb, only about xclip... | 03:48 |
| mazda01 | islington, yeap, custom.conf is there and when I look in there, it already has DefaultSession=gnome.desktop | 03:48 |
| mazda01 | islington, no on the gdm-cdd.conf | 03:48 |
| PrototypeX29A | well @jrib i guess | 03:48 |
| Pelo | jvasile, it's not the printer that is the issue, If I still had windows installed I could check it the problem was with the pci card or with the kernel, but I don'T I'M gonna have to find another way to go about it, but thanks for the help | 03:49 |
| islington | mazda01: yes what is the TimedLoginEnable set to? | 03:49 |
| webbb82 | jrib, so xclip is the command to paste high lighted txt? | 03:49 |
| DarkWell | what is the partitioning tool available per default in the latest liveCD ? fsdisk didnt seem to exist on the liveboot | 03:49 |
| dragon | DarkWell: gparted | 03:50 |
| mazda01 | islington, there is no graphocal theme set though. http://pastebin.com/f5858817e | 03:50 |
| DarkWell | ok | 03:50 |
| mazda01 | islington, check out the pastebin | 03:50 |
| DarkWell | found parted | 03:50 |
| jrib | webbb82: xclip with the proper arguments, sure | 03:50 |
| ctmjr | chu_ are you using the network applet in the panel? | 03:50 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: read make-kpkg's documentation I guess? Or explain what you are actually trying to accomplish | 03:50 |
| jrib | !kernel > PrototypeX29A | 03:50 |
| ubottu | PrototypeX29A, please see my private message | 03:50 |
| mazda01 | islington,i just changed the autologin to false and noticed that there is a graphocal theme set. let me restart gdm. brb | 03:51 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: i read the tutorials, but i don't think it does work correctly | 03:51 |
| halenacam | add me halenaxsexy@hotmail.com | 03:51 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: you're being too vague for me to help you | 03:51 |
| PhantomLink | WOOHOO dragon i'm about to burn the livecd so i'll be back once I'm ready to install ^_^ | 03:52 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: i was asking how i can examine which scripts are executed, when a deb is installed | 03:52 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: like "exactly" | 03:52 |
| dragon | !troll > halenacam | 03:53 |
| ubottu | halenacam, please see my private message | 03:53 |
| vvor | mazda01: did you dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 03:53 |
| mazda01 | vvor, yes, that did nothing | 03:53 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: the best way is to read the source package. You can also extract all the .prerm scripts and such using dpkg but I don't know the command offhand | 03:54 |
| mazda01 | vvor, just brought me back to same command prompt with nothing to do | 03:54 |
| mazda01 | vvor, even ran it as root as required | 03:54 |
| vvor | ok do a rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity and you get a new gnome | 03:54 |
| mazda01 | islington, still didn't work. i have no start menu, have no idea what desktop manager i am running. it appears to look like xfce but can't tell | 03:55 |
| Xpistos | I need a little help setting permissions on an sshfs share from my server. I can't delete anything from the file from my local machine. Can someone give me a hand? | 03:55 |
| islington | yeah you are running xfce mazda01 | 03:55 |
| mazda01 | islington, it is xfce but I want gnome-desktop to run. what gives? | 03:55 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: it's kinda funny, i have like 100 blank dvds but no blank cds | 03:55 |
| nytek_ | mazda01: have you tried starting xfce? | 03:55 |
| PhantomLink | (just goes to show that cds are starting to become a thing of the past) | 03:55 |
| dragon | !ot | Phantom | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Phantom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:55 |
| fizk__ | WIll Win7/Vista boot if it's /dev/sda2 instead of sda1 ? | 03:55 |
| mazda01 | islington, xfce still has a start menu, at least mythbuntu 9.04 did!!! | 03:55 |
| nytek_ | mazda01: if you want gnome-desktop, then use apt-get to install it | 03:56 |
| DarkWell | are there any way to slipstream you own liveCD ? i mean so you have removed unwanted programs and added wanted programs at your liking ? | 03:56 |
| fizk__ | Does anyone have Win7/Vista duel boot working? | 03:56 |
| mazda01 | nytek_, you think i am stupid?? i already did that. | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: Vista and Ubuntu | 03:56 |
| yates | which flavor of ubuntu is 2.6.24-24-lpia ? | 03:56 |
| mazda01 | nytek_, gdm's config states to run that desktop environment also, | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: well used to be, now another distro | 03:56 |
| mazda01 | nytek_, thanks, but others are trying to help me | 03:56 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, oh hey man, you're still around :) | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: yeah | 03:57 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: dpkg-deb --control it seems | 03:57 |
| webbb82 | does anyone know the command to paste high lighted text | 03:57 |
| nytek_ | mazda01: i didnt know you tried that, are you trying to start a fight? | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: have Vista or Windows 7 installed first, then put Ubuntu on, and you should be ok | 03:57 |
| islington | mazda01 nytek_ calm down | 03:57 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: but it seems like you are asking a strange question. i.e. you want to do something but are going about it the wrong way | 03:57 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, i don't what i need to do, but Grub always just reloads when I choose Vista/Win7 during boot | 03:57 |
| digitalaxis | Ok im back | 03:57 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, always has for v1, and now again for v2 | 03:57 |
| islington | mazda01: I am still convinced that the problem is with gdm | 03:58 |
| mazda01 | nytek_, no, just get annoyed by others butting in when someone is already receiving help. i know you you didn't realize that though. sorry, just frustrated | 03:58 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, yeah i installed in that order | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: not sure, what do you want Windows for anyway? | 03:58 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: there is no source package, i would have to read the source of make-kpkg, which would not be much more of a help i guess | 03:58 |
| islington | for one, I do not think that ubuntu uses custom.conf, can someone confirm that? | 03:58 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, just incase | 03:58 |
| Dorkins | How can i install ubuntu inside windows? | 03:58 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: thanks for the hint | 03:59 |
| mazda01 | islington, ok, well, at least a little progress. i now have xfce right-click menu and I can access system settings. let me see what I can do now from a gui to fix this default session problem | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: in case of what? | 03:59 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, i guess i could run in vmware | 03:59 |
| edbian | Dorkins, wubi ? | 03:59 |
| islington | mazda01: okay | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: yeah I was going to put something about virtual machines | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: Virtualbox :) | 03:59 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: did you see the last thing I said? | 03:59 |
| dragon | edbian: I'm reporting him to the ops this time. | 03:59 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, VBox is nice........but vmware is pretty solid | 04:00 |
| vvor | mazda01: islington just remove gdm & install gdm | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: so really you don't have a proper reason to want Windows still? I mean for example a program that you can't get working in Wine | 04:00 |
| yates | is lpia the atom processor? | 04:00 |
| yates | lp - intel atom ? | 04:00 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, not really | 04:00 |
| dragon | jrib: Dorkins is trolling and could you some of your attention. | 04:00 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: the --control thing? yes i did, thanks | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: Virtualbox can also use VMDK files, what VMware uses for it's virtual hard disk | 04:00 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: no: but it seems like you are asking a strange question. i.e. you want to do something but are going about it the wrong way | 04:00 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, well.....i actually needed it to run NetBeans at a decent speed | 04:01 |
| bobertdos | I know this one's all over the net, but I'd like some person to person contact. Has anyone found a workaround for getting Samba and Windows 7 to successfully authenticate the login? | 04:01 |
| edbian | dragon, What did he do? I didn't notice anything | 04:01 |
| islington | mazda01: any luck with gui? | 04:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: there is no sourcepackage containing the control scripts | 04:01 |
| yates | has anyone here used ubuntu on the mini 10? | 04:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: with exception of make-kpkg | 04:01 |
| jrib | PrototypeX29A: I understand this. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: I got VIsta on here at the moment just in case, I will want it for something where a vm won't cut it in the future. However I have done Ubuntu only before on an old computer, in like 2006 or something, and yeah it's quite a nice feeling really, for a lot of us. | 04:02 |
| bobertdos | Basically, Samba and Windows 7 will not authenticate. I've already tried a few registry edits per the web. | 04:02 |
| Dorkins | anyone? | 04:02 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, Long time no talk! :) | 04:02 |
| islington | Dorkins: what was the question? | 04:02 |
| dragon | edbian: Dorkins.. you can't convince him to use wubi. He'll keep asking it over and over. | 04:02 |
| Dorkins | How can i install ubuntu inside windows? | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: yeah | 04:02 |
| edbian | dragon, That sounds annoying | 04:02 |
| ctmjr | Dorkins: asked and answered | 04:03 |
| burzki | jrib, you maybe missed the very beginning. if i understand right .. PrototypeX29A updated the kernel and lost wlan capacity and had to take it apart and put it back together to get it back, now trying to figure out what went wrong. | 04:03 |
| yates | does anyone here know anything about ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, I was doing some BlueTooth programming, i think the drivers weren't working in vmware/vbox. | 04:03 |
| Dorkins | wubi says you boot into it not run it inside windows | 04:03 |
| dragon | !anyone > yates | 04:03 |
| ubottu | yates, please see my private message | 04:03 |
| edbian | yates, There are many of us that know a ton | 04:03 |
| jrib | burzki: thank you | 04:03 |
| assas1n | guys | 04:03 |
| dragon | jrib: I hope you're watching Dorkins | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: it's a bit odd if you can't just boot up Windows from the old Grub or the new, unless of course it's not set up properly to boot it up | 04:03 |
| yates | ubottu: i did not see a pm | 04:03 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:03 |
| webbb82 | does anyone know how to change paste hightlighted txt from shift ins to somthing els like shift z anyone know wheren to do this | 04:03 |
| islington | Dorkins: that is wrong. check out the screenshots : http://wubi-installer.org/screenshots.php | 04:03 |
| eddy | hey | 04:04 |
| dragon | webbb82: where are you trying to paste? | 04:04 |
| bastid_raZor | dragon: are you like the little tattle tail boy who cried wolf? | 04:04 |
| assas1n | is it possible to link 2 computers via USB in such a way that the USB link emulates a CD-ROM? | 04:04 |
| eddy | how can I cut a part of video file (AVI)? | 04:04 |
| Dorkins | from the wubi page: How do I select whether to run Windows or Ubuntu? | 04:04 |
| Dorkins | You can choose to run Windows or Ubuntu at the system boot screen. | 04:04 |
| digitalaxis | Yates: Dont ask a question about a question. If you need support just ask your REAL question and we will answer it for you:) | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | fizk__ | 04:04 |
| ubottu | fizk__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 04:04 |
| webbb82 | dragon, any window | 04:04 |
| yates | i did. | 04:04 |
| PrototypeX29A | jrib: but you are right, i dont understand anything of the perl-code :) | 04:04 |
| Dorkins | says it right in the wubi help page | 04:04 |
| dragon | webbb82: Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste. | 04:04 |
| burzki | linera, changing clothes and coming back w/ a new nick? go home | 04:04 |
| jrib | Dorkins: if you want to use ubuntu *inside* windows then use a virtualizer like virtualbox | 04:04 |
| assas1n | for example the host computer emulates a CD/DVD-ROM interface via USB | 04:04 |
| webbb82 | i want to change it to a single key | 04:04 |
| Dorkins | and this virtual box thing isn't working | 04:05 |
| digitalaxis | yates: Asking if anyone knows anything about ubuntu in an UBUNTU SUPPORT irc isnt really a question yates | 04:05 |
| islington | Dorkins: I see you want to use both ubuntu and windows at the same time? | 04:05 |
| Dorkins | yes | 04:05 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, at first, os-prober wasn't even detecting Win7 | 04:05 |
| yates | is 2.6.24-lpia the version of ubuntu hardy for atom processor, e.g., the mini 10 | 04:05 |
| sebsebseb | Dorkins: a good idea, is to have Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine :) | 04:05 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, so I used the win7 install DVD to repair the boot info | 04:05 |
| jrib | Dorkins: if you need help running virtualbox in windows, you should try #vbox or ##windows | 04:05 |
| islington | hmm. what is wrong with the virtualbox idea? | 04:05 |
| Dorkins | i want to learn linux before installing linux by itself | 04:05 |
| islington | what jrib said Dorkins | 04:06 |
| digitalaxis | Yates: One Moment please. | 04:06 |
| dragon | islington, jrib: I've pointed him to virtualbox an hour ago. | 04:06 |
| DarkWell | what id the default fs type ubuntu used for a default installation ? im just using the live boot so im curious what it uses | 04:06 |
| bastid_raZor | !pm | dragon | 04:06 |
| ubottu | dragon: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 04:06 |
| Dorkins | it won't boot linux | 04:06 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, that worked, but grub just reloads when i choose win7 . | 04:06 |
| DarkWell | sed s/id/is/ | 04:06 |
| dragon | bastid_raZor: what do you mean? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: ok well hardly anyone uses it anymore, but there is an alternative to Grub, LILO | 04:06 |
| jrib | Dorkins: you have a question for #vbox then | 04:06 |
| Dorkins | i selected the os as linux and version as ubuntu and it doesn't boot | 04:06 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, if there's some way to debug what's going on, i could do some googling | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: if your up for it, you could try installing LILO in Ubuntu | 04:06 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, lol :) | 04:07 |
| jmyers | anyone with an idea why my terminal freezes when I try to run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' ? The kids over at #ndiswrapper are all asleep. | 04:07 |
| eddy | hi.. how can I cut a portion of a video file in ubuntu..(avi file) | 04:07 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, too old school for me | 04:07 |
| assas1n | does anyone know if it's possible to emulate a USB CD-ROM device on one PC and connect that to another PC? | 04:07 |
| Dorkins | but my problem is getting ubuntu install inside windows | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: at least one distro I know of, as far as I know is stil using lilo by default | 04:07 |
| bastid_raZor | dragon: are you having trouble understanding the factoid ubottu sent you about pm'ing someone without asking permission? | 04:07 |
| dragon | jmyers: run another terminal and try dmesg | tail | 04:07 |
| islington | Dorkins: actually your probelm seems to be getting virtualbox to act right. | 04:07 |
| Dorkins | and not where i boot into linux or windows | 04:07 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, which one? | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: there is also some way to get the Windows boot loader, booting Ubuntu | 04:07 |
| losha | eddy: try avidemux, a good simple editor | 04:07 |
| DarkWell | jmyers, have you tried sudo su first and then do modprove ndiswrapper ? | 04:08 |
| DarkWell | modprobe even | 04:08 |
| dragon | !ot > bastid_raZor | 04:08 |
| ubottu | bastid_raZor, please see my private message | 04:08 |
| digitalaxis | Yates: Are you referring to the “linux-source-2.6.24” IPIA?\ | 04:08 |
| gotmilk82 | Does anyone know of a good way to update bios on a ubuntu machine when the BIOS installer is only in windows? VirtualBox won't work :(. | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: VectorLinux it's Slackware based, and I guess Open Office is still on their paid for CD, but people that know what they are doing can install it themselves anyway. Oh and this is off topic. | 04:08 |
| Porota | [ Hola ]----`,'.- | 04:08 |
| yates | digitalaxis: i may be... i got the string from the response to "uname -r" | 04:08 |
| PhantomLink | !es Porota | 04:09 |
| Porota | [ ;) ]----`,'.- | 04:09 |
| PhantomLink | !es ! Porota | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:09 |
| dragon | gotmilk82: some BIOS update programs come as a bootable update CD image. | 04:09 |
| Dorkins | i guess no one knows how to install ubuntu inside windows | 04:09 |
| jmyers | DarkWell no, I haven't. Of course when I ran a sudo modprobe ndiswrapper JUST NOW, it sorta worked. gave me an error:WARNING ALL config files need a .conf /etc/modprobe.d will be ignored in a future release. | 04:09 |
| blakkheim | PhantomLink: |, not ! | 04:09 |
| PhantomLink | Oh, right, sorry. | 04:09 |
| jrib | Dorkins: why are you ignoring what several people have told you? Do you actually want help? | 04:09 |
| jmyers | and then a similar warning for /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper | 04:09 |
| islington | Dorkins: we do, but we are not confident answering virtualbox problems | 04:09 |
| digitalaxis | Yates: Well your going to be more specific, only thing you would use the “linux-source-2.6.24” for really is making your own kernel | 04:09 |
| DarkWell | jmrodri-gone, ok there is the answer then | 04:10 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, i started with Slackware......but i wanna make this work in grub since it should be working | 04:10 |
| digitalaxis | Yates: And if your able to code your own kernel, your not asking for help in ubuntu support lol | 04:10 |
| gotmilk82 | dragon, I wish mine was that way...all I get is a .exe to be run in windows/DOS | 04:10 |
| DarkWell | jmyers , there is the answer i think | 04:10 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, one question is, everyone says Vista/Win7 needs tobe the first partition | 04:10 |
| quietone | Can anyone help me with the gnome-volume-control | 04:10 |
| dragon | gotmilk82: you might want to try wine | 04:10 |
| Dorkins | they said wubi which says that you boot into either linux or windows. and one said virtual box which the linux didn't boot | 04:10 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, it's at the beginning of my HDD but it's recognized as /dev/sda2 | 04:11 |
| jmyers | DarkWell: so should I cp ndiswrapper ndiswrapper.conf in that directory? | 04:11 |
| gigglefight | hello! | 04:11 |
| losha | gotmilk82: there are freedos disks out there. Also, try #windows or #hardware | 04:11 |
| bgjsl | hi guys | 04:11 |
| islington | I wonder what happened to mazda? | 04:11 |
| jrib | Dorkins: and then remember when I told you to go to #vbox for help with vbox? | 04:11 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, could that be the problem? | 04:11 |
| DarkWell | jmyers, meaning modprobe dosent return proper signal to the calling app meaning it might hang if it is actually waiting for a proper exit signal | 04:11 |
| dragon | !hi | gigglefight | 04:11 |
| ubottu | gigglefight: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 04:11 |
| gigglefight | I'm interested in the xmacro program. I've got many questions on how to create a macro on Ubuntu 9.10, problem: click won't work when recording macro. Is there a way to manually create a file? hi dragon! | 04:12 |
| ziesemer | mz2))1vml | 04:12 |
| DarkWell | the error message is a hint what you need to do i think.. never been using ndiswrapper | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: yeah they do, I thought yeah maybe, but probably doesn't really matter, but then recently I re installed Vista on this computer twice, both times it wiped out my seperate Ext4 /home partition, at first I was like what happended? then later found out what had happended, when the Vista installer argued where it wanted to install itself, in a partition that was being used or something in fact, I told it to go on the free space, but yep | 04:12 |
| gigglefight | I'd like to create the file using the coordinates and the commands, but where is the editor? is it gedit? | 04:12 |
| islington | Dorkins: final thing I can think of is http://www.colinux.org/ | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | it removed the home. First time round I had got hold of some data that I had no back up of, and put it on the new home, that it then later also deleted. Second time round I coudn't recover everything it seems, but lost nothing important anyway. | 04:12 |
| jmyers | DarkWell: you just escaped my realm of understanding. That error message tells me that if those files don't have .conf on the end of them, they will be ignored in future releases. Future releases of what? I do not know. | 04:13 |
| xclong | hi | 04:13 |
| Dorkins | i said ubuntu. | 04:13 |
| Dorkins | I want to install ubuntu inside windows | 04:13 |
| gigglefight | there's a problem with xmacrorec2 and ubuntu 9.10 | 04:13 |
| gigglefight | :( | 04:13 |
| bgjsl | hi darkwell | 04:13 |
| gigglefight | I did it today with Wubi. | 04:13 |
| DarkWell | i think in future releases of the kernel | 04:13 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I run /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh ? I just added that file. I prefer not to reboot. | 04:14 |
| dragon | gigglefight: it's probably a bug you're looking at | 04:14 |
| DarkWell | bgjsl, hey | 04:14 |
| bgjsl | dorkins} | 04:14 |
| islington | Dorkins: join the vbox room, they will help you | 04:14 |
| dragon | gigglefight: did it work with prevoius versions of ubuntu? | 04:14 |
| bgjsl | plse usde wubi | 04:14 |
| gigglefight | a bug? when will it be fixed? this is the first time using it. | 04:14 |
| ctmjr | DarkWell: jmyers it is just a warning of things to come it does not effect the current kernel | 04:14 |
| bgjsl | that is a cool sol for yr inquiry | 04:14 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, so if i somehow get Vista/Win7 as /dev/sda1, i should be set.......... how do I make it partition 1 without reinstall? | 04:14 |
| gigglefight | I've managed to put ubuntu and windows 7 on my computer :) i absolutely love it. | 04:14 |
| dragon | gigglefight: #ubuntu-bugs might have a better idea. If it's been filed, it will probably show up in a google search with right keywords. | 04:15 |
| islington | gigglefight: :) | 04:15 |
| jmyers | too weird. It hasn't worked in 3 days, and I come home from work and it just works tonight. Flakey. | 04:15 |
| assas1n | I gather by the lack of responses nobody knows a direction to point me in..? | 04:15 |
| gigglefight | Wubi was simple. thing is that you have to put the .iso and wubi in same folder. | 04:15 |
| darcy | Hey all how do I get DVD playback on Karmic? | 04:15 |
| jrib | !dvd | darcy | 04:15 |
| ubottu | darcy: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:15 |
| DarkWell | bgjsl, ? | 04:15 |
| islington | assas1n: sorry what was the ? | 04:15 |
| Dorkins | what about installing ubuntu like a program? | 04:15 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, btw, did you loose important stuff when windows wiped it out? :| | 04:15 |
| PrototypeX29A | re | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: not sure if you can move around partitions, like it seems you want to do | 04:15 |
| jmyers | assas1n: Just wait a few minutes and ask your question again. | 04:15 |
| sweetandy | Dorkins: Ubuntu isn't a program, it's an operating system. | 04:15 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: no I put at the end that I didn't lose anything important | 04:15 |
| assas1n | islington: I want to link 2 computers via USB, and emulate a CD-ROM device on one of those computers | 04:15 |
| dragon | gigglefight: if you can't find a bug with same problem as yours, you should definitely file one. | 04:15 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, good good | 04:15 |
| KWhat_Mobile | how do you start eth0 | 04:16 |
| gigglefight | oh on Windows 7? i'm not too sure. but open source programs are out there for Windows. | 04:16 |
| digitalaxis | Dorkins: You cant install ubuntu "like a program" lol. | 04:16 |
| KWhat_Mobile | pos wont bring it up even with wirless stopped | 04:16 |
| gigglefight | oh. I know that the problem exsists. | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: what I get for deciding I wanted to destroy a Vista clean install a bit and have some fun, before doing a proper re install, hmm | 04:16 |
| islington | assas1n: I have never heard of any such thing being done, what are you trying to accomplish out of curiosity? | 04:16 |
| DarkWell | Dorkins, i think you need a linux loader,, i recall slackware had such technique to boot up/install linux from windows | 04:16 |
| gigglefight | just was trying to work around it | 04:16 |
| Dorkins | everyone keep telling me i can | 04:16 |
| jmyers | Dorkins: The EASIEST way to run Ubunut, INSIDE of Windows, is to use Virtual Box. I do the opposite on my box. My box is Ubuntu, with a Virtual Machine that runs WinXP. My hardware AMD Athlon 64 is poorly supported, and some things I still need Windows to do. | 04:16 |
| KWhat_Mobile | yo eth0 | 04:16 |
| DarkWell | Dorkins, havent looked further into it so dont know what you are required to mimic that trick | 04:16 |
| assas1n | well islington, I wish to install OpenSolaris on my other box, without using another blank DVD (because I can't find one). | 04:17 |
| gigglefight | what is this virtural box you speak of? | 04:17 |
| Dorkins | virtual box failed. i created the ubuntu system in virtual box and it never booted | 04:17 |
| Dorkins | so I'm done with virtual box | 04:17 |
| jmyers | gigglefight: it's a program. Google it and check it out. | 04:17 |
| gigglefight | I did! | 04:17 |
| gigglefight | :) | 04:17 |
| gigglefight | of an hour. | 04:17 |
| gigglefight | or maybe more longer. | 04:17 |
| [-jon-] | would runing quotas cause a signifigant overherad for disk io? | 04:17 |
| islington | assas1n: cant you just move your cd drive, to your other comp? | 04:17 |
| DarkWell | hmm | 04:18 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: I don't have really, really important data on this computer. Going back to Grub it has always been a pain. | 04:18 |
| jmyers | wow, that was a pretty rude response to my attempt to help eh? | 04:18 |
| assas1n | islington: that computer has a DVD-ROM drive. The problem is, I don't have any blank DVDs ;) | 04:18 |
| DarkWell | are those max 16 partitiions limit due to the ahrdware of sata disks or is it something else limiting it ? | 04:18 |
| islington | assas1n: oy sorry brainfart. | 04:18 |
| assas1n | lol happens to the best of us mate | 04:19 |
| assas1n | hmm | 04:19 |
| jmyers | ok, well back to trying to get my wireless card to work. ;) | 04:19 |
| assas1n | maybe I could boot off LAN.. let me check to see if I have any crossover cables | 04:19 |
| DarkWell | assas1n, any spare4 usb stick ? | 04:19 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: :S the cd is taking a while to boot | 04:19 |
| islington | assas1n: any wasy that either of the comps can clone your harddrive? | 04:19 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, you'd think that this should be pretty well ironed out by now, eh | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: A pain for a lot of us. Hmm maybe your uhmm config file or whatever it was instead of menu.lst for Grub 2 isn't set up properly, hence Windows not booting up properly. | 04:20 |
| losha | assas1n: unetbootin allows a cd-less install of various things, dunno if solaris is one of them though. Can you plug the disk for the new machine into the running one and do an install that way? | 04:20 |
| assas1n | islington, not that I can think of... if they could, not sure how that would solve anything | 04:20 |
| dragon | assas1n: DVD-ROM drives can read CDs. | 04:20 |
| burzki | jmyers, whats w/ your wifi? | 04:20 |
| assas1n | I think my BIOS has support for booting via ethernet | 04:20 |
| KWhat_Mobile | god i hate ubuntu | 04:20 |
| DarkWell | hmm | 04:20 |
| assas1n | dragon: that still requires a blank DVD/CD, which I do not have. | 04:21 |
| DarkWell | KWhat_Mobile, you dont ? | 04:21 |
| losha | KWhat_Mobile: ok, here's your money back... | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | KWhat_Mobile: Hate is a strong world, so you probably mean dislike, what happended? | 04:21 |
| islington | KWhat_Mobile: what happened? | 04:21 |
| dragon | assas1n: create a LiveUSB | 04:21 |
| OptimaD | how can i install windows fonts with apt-get ? | 04:21 |
| DarkWell | hate is a strong word | 04:21 |
| dragon | losha: +1 | 04:21 |
| Kamokow | How can i get ustream to work with karmic? | 04:21 |
| dragon | !hate | KWhat_Mobile | 04:21 |
| ubottu | KWhat_Mobile: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy | 04:21 |
| Bookman | Ok, thanks for all of your help in the past but due to 9.10s faults like AMD bridge, sound, and so many others, I have to leave. | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | dragon: ah yes their's a factoid | 04:22 |
| KWhat_Mobile | somethings seriosuly jacked up with your networking | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | !details | KWhat_Mobile | 04:22 |
| ubottu | KWhat_Mobile: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 04:22 |
| DarkWell | KWhat_Mobile, is it downloading probs ? | 04:22 |
| assas1n | I agree with ubottu. So you dislike some points regarding Ubuntu. Not every OS is perfect. They all have their positives and negatives. I would dislike the fact that Ubuntu doesn't natively run .exe executables if I were a gamer. | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: I guess I can't really help, well good luck | 04:22 |
| islington | OptimaD: sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts | 04:22 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, i tried doing it manually (copied from a grub2 tutorial), and using os-prober ... both have the same result. The website was pretty much what os-prober creates | 04:23 |
| bgjsl | that is right darkwell | 04:23 |
| dragon | assas1n: have you checked wine? | 04:23 |
| dragon | !wine > assas1n | 04:23 |
| ubottu | assas1n, please see my private message | 04:23 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, what's interesting tho, is that the MacOSX boot loader can boot Vista! lol | 04:23 |
| bgjsl | i am agreed too | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: what's os-prober ? | 04:23 |
| assas1n | !stfu > dragon | 04:23 |
| ubottu | dragon, please see my private message | 04:23 |
| KWhat_Mobile | for example wireless wpa wpa2 stopped working and the os refuese to get a lease or bring up for waht ever reason the ehternet port | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: your on a Mac? | 04:23 |
| KWhat_Mobile | bring it up manually and it wont dole an ip to it | 04:23 |
| KWhat_Mobile | so by jacked i mean totally not working | 04:23 |
| dragon | assas1n: what was that supposed to mean? | 04:24 |
| Danielpk | How i can configure Ubuntu for dont boot with GNOME? i want only "terminal screen" :) | 04:24 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, Ubuntu script to figure out what partitions you have and create configs for grub.cfg | 04:24 |
| DarkWell | what i would like is to slipstream an own liveCD | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | fizk__: oh ok | 04:24 |
| atomicpoet | Wow, this is a lot of people in this room. | 04:24 |
| ziesemer | Danielpk: Install the server edition? | 04:24 |
| DarkWell | to containt exactly those apps i want | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | !custom | DarkWell | 04:24 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, x86 MacOSX (iDeneb, Kalayway,etc) | 04:24 |
| dragon | Danielpk: if you want only a terminal and no gui, install the package ubuntu-server | 04:24 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I run /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh without rebooting? | 04:24 |
| webbb82 | i want to change the hotkey paste high lighted txt from shift-isn to shift-z where do i find that , or what would the commmand be to paste high lighted txt so i can setup a keybinding | 04:25 |
| KWhat_Mobile | well that shut everyone up | 04:25 |
| Danielpk | dragon, ziesemer, dont have other away? :P | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | !remix | DarkWell | 04:25 |
| DarkWell | !custom | 04:25 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, i installed MacOSX to do ffmpeg4iphone | 04:25 |
| atomicpoet | Danielpk: om the login screen, at the bottom, one of the selections is by default GNOME. Change it to xterm, and it will launch with only xterm. | 04:25 |
| losha | Danielpk: which os version are you running | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | DarkWell: hmm | 04:25 |
| assas1n | dragon: you made a suggestion based on my reasoning, which was completely irrelevant to my problem | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | DarkWell: there's some factoid for what you want to do | 04:25 |
| losha | Is ubottu down? I don't see any responses... | 04:25 |
| Danielpk | losha latest.. just downloaded. | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | losha: that's since those two aren't factoids | 04:25 |
| DarkWell | sebsebseb, the bot isnt alive ? | 04:25 |
| Danielpk | atomicpoet, It dont ask for user at startup. | 04:26 |
| assas1n | I'm not trying to be rude, but I know what wine is, and it still doesn't provide native execution | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | losha: I got pm'd about that by the bot | 04:26 |
| dragon | !ping | losha | 04:26 |
| ubottu | losha: Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. | 04:26 |
| atomicpoet | Danielpk: are you running Karmic? | 04:26 |
| OptimaD | islington, what do u think is the best way for me to manage/control this ubuntu pc from my win7 computer both visually and command? what progs shud i setup on this box and win7? | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | losha: aren't factoid triggers I should say | 04:26 |
| losha | sebsebseb: hi sebsebseb. Did ubottu not use to say something when a non-trigger was issued? | 04:26 |
| assas1n | mkay, time to look up how PXE boot works :P | 04:26 |
| DarkWell | sebsebseb, hehe i got time to kill so if there is possibility to customize ones own liveCD im more than happy try it out =) | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | losha: don't know | 04:27 |
| chu_ | Hey guys, I changed Karmic to aut-login, but it still needs my password after the gnome session has booted up to activate the wireless, kinda defeats the purpose. Anyway, does anyone know how I can set it to "remember" the password? | 04:27 |
| dragon | assas1n: You totally don't know what wine is. And you need to learn to behave. | 04:27 |
| islington | OptimaD: er what? could you clarify what is meant by managae/control? OptimaD | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | DarkWell: you can, but not sure the link or the factoid trigger for the bot it seems, that triggers the info | 04:27 |
| Psinetic | how do i kill processes by terminal again? | 04:27 |
| assas1n | dragon: you're still blabbering on about something that is completely irrelevant to anyone's problem. I know what wine is. It doesn't provide native execution of .exe files. | 04:27 |
| Danielpk | atomicpoet, yeah. 9.10 version | 04:27 |
| islington | Psinetic: kill command , or xkill | 04:27 |
| OptimaD | OptimaD, kind of like VNC but i also want to setup ftp on this omputer and i wnat full access from my win7 computer | 04:27 |
| DarkWell | !flexible | 04:27 |
| dragon | Psinetic: killall <processname> or kill <pid> | 04:28 |
| fizk__ | sebsebseb, btw, do you still use a swap partition? it's taking up precious primary partition space :( | 04:28 |
| DarkWell | !customize | 04:28 |
| KWhat_Mobile | ifup eth0 ignoring unknown interface eth0 LOL | 04:28 |
| DarkWell | !personalize | 04:28 |
| KWhat_Mobile | its in there ifconfig -a | 04:28 |
| islington | OptimaD: well ssh + samba and you have full control | 04:28 |

| PhantomLink | dragon: xubuntu won't boot or install | 04:31 |
| will1 | anyone knows how to let my 107 keyboard work on ubuntu 8.10????????????????????help................... | 04:31 |
| DarkWell | now it feels like it would be workable to make an "efficient" work liveCD | 04:31 |
| dragon | !details | PhantomLink | 04:31 |
| ubottu | PhantomLink: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 04:31 |
| yates | what is the applet for configuring the firewall under ubuntu hardy | 04:31 |
| PhantomLink | I keep getting stuck at the startup screen where is asks what language and whether to just try or install | 04:31 |
| FelipeS | sup guys. anyone know of a guide to follow or program to figure out that allows me to use my netbook as a wifi extender/repeater? | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | KWhat_Mobile: certain things that used to work in 9.04, don't in 9.10 | 04:31 |
| yates | i should say, what is the command line ? | 04:31 |
| yates | i thought it would be system-config-firewall, but that doesn't work | 04:32 |
| EastDallas | webbb82: try it with a lower case 'g' | 04:32 |
| Psinetic | dragon, it's not killing it :S http://pastebin.com/d658a7178 | 04:32 |
| Psinetic | it shows that it did, but it's still not dead | 04:32 |
| webbb82 | ya | 04:32 |
| DarkWell | PhantomLink, does anything else work to boot up on your computer ? | 04:32 |
| islington | yates: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ufw-uncomplicated-firewall-for-ubuntu-hardy.html | 04:32 |
| rcscomp | Would anyone have an idea why I might get really slow download speeds from a vmware workstation guest to a machine on the network? All other various network connections work at expected speeds (i.e. network <- host, host <-> guest, guest <- network). | 04:32 |
| PhantomLink | Can yeah | 04:32 |
| dragon | Psinetic: kill -9 24812 | 04:33 |
| PhantomLink | I think it's because of the cd I used | 04:33 |
| dragon | Psinetic: don't kill 24399, that's something else | 04:33 |
| dragon | Psinetic: if -9 doesn't do the job, use -15 as last resort | 04:33 |
| FelipeS | sup guys. anyone know of a guide to follow or program to figure out that allows me to use my netbook as a wifi extender/repeater? | 04:33 |
| DarkWell | phantomcircuit, it is possible , when you boot it you can test the integrity of the cd | 04:33 |

| KWhat_Mobile | sebsebseb: we arnt even on .10 yet | 04:33 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: I will be back in about 10 minutes, I'm going to go buy some DATA cds | 04:34 |
| steven_Office | Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks I have a small problem I just install the NVidia drivers form System/Admin/Hardware and now after rebooting its crashing. How do I get to the command line and grub to change the boot options | 04:34 |
| dragon | PhantomLink: It's not the CD causing the problem. | 04:34 |
| Psinetic | dragon, kill -9 28372 got it. what does -9 and -15 mean? | 04:34 |
| DarkWell | phantomcircuit, maybe you should dispose the entire batch jsut to save time ? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | KWhat_Mobile: hmm? | 04:34 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: really? | 04:34 |
| blakkheim | steven_Office: at the grub prompt you can press "e" to edit the config for that boot | 04:34 |
| burzki | chu_, w/ a caveat though .. in lucid, ubuntuOne - cloud filesharing uses the keyring. so if you disable it .. not sure how that will work for you later. fyi | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | KWhat_Mobile: oh your on 9.04? | 04:34 |
| PhantomLink | Is that why ubuntu 8.04 didn't work on that SAME batch, but worked from a different batch? | 04:34 |
| phantomcircuit | DarkEyes, maybe you should learn how to use tab complete | 04:34 |
| poseidon | I'm going to be getting a 3rd gen ipod touch for my 18th birthday. From what I've read the best way to sync it would be to set up a vm with windows running itunes. | 04:34 |
| DarkWell | hey folks | 04:34 |
| EastDallas | steven_Office: do yo get to a terminal session login? | 04:35 |
| steven_Office | blakkheim, Thanks You | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | KWhat_Mobile: sometimes stuff that doesn't just work in Ubuntu, does in other distros | 04:35 |
| poseidon | I've never set up a vm before. Is virtual box the best for me to use? | 04:35 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: can I burn the iso to a dvd? | 04:35 |
| islington | Psinetic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_%28command%29 | 04:35 |
| DarkWell | are there some trollers here jsut faking probs in here ? | 04:35 |
| steven_Office | EastDallas, no I do not | 04:35 |
| poseidon | also can I use an oem disk for a vm? | 04:35 |
| zjblabs | how would one test to see if aiglx is working properly? | 04:35 |
| blakkheim | poseidon: you will need to use the non-OSE version of VB if you want usb support | 04:35 |
| DarkEyes | ?? | 04:35 |
| EastDallas | what blakkheim said | 04:35 |
| losha | DarkWell: sometimes.... | 04:35 |
| islington | poseidon: yes an oem disk will work. | 04:35 |
| DarkWell | hmm | 04:35 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: ie. if i burned the image to one of my blank DVDs, can I still boot it? | 04:35 |
| dragon | PhantomLink: Music CDs are optimized for music, but it doesn't really matter. No, DVDs don't work as far as I know. | 04:36 |
| phantomcircuit | oh god the irony | 04:36 |
| phantomcircuit | DarkEyes, my bad | 04:36 |
| PhantomLink | dragon: then i'll be back | 04:36 |
| PhantomLink | that was the last blank, and we need more | 04:36 |
| phantomcircuit | DarkWell, maybe you should learn to use tab complete | 04:36 |
| poseidon | blakkheim, what does OSE mean? | 04:36 |
| blakkheim | poseidon: open source edition | 04:36 |
| yates | what is the method for controlling "services" under ubuntu hardy? | 04:36 |
| yates | in fedora, it's "chkconfig" | 04:36 |
| losha | PhantomLink: I've burnt cd images to dvds and booted them. Dunno if it's *guaranteed* to work though... | 04:36 |
| yates | well, wait | 04:37 |
| dragon | losha: and it's a waste of DVDs :) | 04:37 |
| yates | does ubuntu have a "service xyz start/stop" command? | 04:37 |
| dragon | yates: karmic does | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | poseidon: in other words you need to get the non-open source version of virtualbox from their site instead of installing it with aptitude if you want usb support (for the ipod) | 04:37 |
| FelipeS | sup guys. anyone know of a guide to follow or program to figure out that allows me to use my netbook as a wifi extender/repeater? | 04:37 |
| losha | dragon: round here, with sales, blank dvds are as cheap (and sometimes cheaper) than blank cds | 04:37 |
| Psinetic | thanks islington | 04:37 |
| yates | dragon: what is karmic? | 04:37 |
| DarkWell | have anyone of you tested to make a custom liveCD from a liveCD ? instead of making from an installed ubuntu . i mean jsut mount some partition with enough free space to work the stuff to build the .iso | 04:37 |
| dragon | !repeat | FelipeS | 04:37 |
| ubottu | FelipeS: 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. | 04:37 |
| yates | ,karmic | 04:37 |
| yates | !karmic | 04:38 |
| dragon | yates: the latest version of ubuntu | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 | 04:38 |
| yates | ah | 04:38 |
| poseidon | blakkheim, I understand. The e for edition just threw me off :) used to just foss | 04:38 |
| dragon | losha: wow, where's that? | 04:38 |
| scunizi | FelipeS: you need two nicks to do that | 04:38 |
| yates | dragon: before that, how were services controlled? | 04:38 |
| yates | this is older, i'm sure | 04:38 |
| dragon | yates: /etc/init.d/servicename start | 04:38 |
| FelipeS | scunizi, do what? | 04:38 |
| brummbaer | Darkwell, you talking about using remastersys? | 04:38 |
| dragon | yates: `lsb_release -a` for the version of your OS | 04:39 |
| DarkWell | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 04:39 |
| scunizi | FelipeS: use your netbook as a wifi extender/repeater | 04:39 |
| DarkWell | im checking that link | 04:39 |
| EastDallas | Felipes: I think scunizi meant NICs | 04:39 |
| losha | dragon: I saw a pack of 100 dvd-r blanks on sale today at officemax for $17.00 (california) | 04:39 |
| DarkWell | i have a blank harddisk | 04:39 |
| steven_Office | EastDallas, or blakkheim can I edit grub from the Live cd? I get grub loading then the ubuntu Icon then it creashes, I am unable to get to the grub option | 04:39 |
| DarkWell | running from a liveCD right now | 04:39 |
| gigglefight | xmacro anyone? | 04:40 |
| FelipeS | scunizi, EastDallas, that makes more sense. yeah of course. I got a USB adapter too. | 04:40 |
| EastDallas | steven_Office: outside of my area of expertise, maybe blakkheim can help with that | 04:40 |
| dragon | losha: 100 CDs were for $8 here. Also, you should consider joining #ubuntu-california if you haven't | 04:40 |
| yates | is ubuntu hardy's remote desktop mechanism based on vino? | 04:40 |
| scunizi | !ics | FelipeS then this link might provide some of the info you need to make it work | 04:40 |
| DarkWell | my idea is to create an own liveCD i like better at startup so i can dispose the default one i got recently | 04:40 |
| ubottu | FelipeS then this link might provide some of the info you need to make it work: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 04:40 |
| blakkheim | steven_Office: yes you can, look in the /boot/grub directory of the hard drive. if it's grub-legacy it will be called menu.lst and if it's grub2 it will be grub.cfg (i believe) | 04:41 |

| blakkheim | nflava: aptitude remove <pkgname> | 04:42 |
| dragon | nflava: apt-get remove | 04:42 |
| nflava | excellent, thank you very much | 04:42 |
| blakkheim | nflava: with --purge if you want to completely remove it | 04:42 |
| brummbaer | darkwell, i haven't done it myself, but that article looks pretty thorough. any particular reason you want to create a custom live-cd (ie need it to be live, or just going for custom install w/o having to pare down?) | 04:43 |
| victorArana | Hi | 04:43 |
| victorArana | i have a little problem | 04:43 |
| nflava | well i installed some upnp servers and i didnt realize that they always run | 04:43 |
| losha | dragon: that's cheap, but when you figure cost-per-byte for general storage, I've stopped buying cds altogether... | 04:43 |
| nflava | so now i need to try to remover someof them | 04:43 |
| DarkWell | no install | 04:43 |
| steven_Office | blakkheim, k Thanks im using 9.10 32bit... I got to save this install some how... I got VMware load with all my office system setup and working now 3days of work... :( and not back up! grrrrr or imaged | 04:44 |
| victorArana | when i boot i just see a black screen | 04:44 |

| EastDallas | I hope those articles help FelipeS | 04:44 |
| victorArana | i just upgrade to ubuntu 10.1 | 04:44 |
| DarkWell | to automate tasks i might want to do for rescues | 04:44 |

| FelipeS | EastDallas, hm well those are for extending a network with an ethernet adapter. | 04:44 |
| dragon | losha: yeah.. | 04:44 |
| FelipeS | EastDallas, but thanks anyway, I guess I'll keep searching the forums. | 04:44 |
| DarkWell | that chroot trick seem much similar to what the gentoo users use to do when installing their systems at stage3 etc | 04:45 |
| EastDallas | FelipeS, are you using two wireless adapters? | 04:45 |
| prappl93 | When I watch flash videos, they randomly flash... as in showing bits of black at random moments. The same thing occurs while playing flash games. Are there any known ways to fix this? I have Ubuntu 9.10 | 04:45 |

| FelipeS | EastDallas, that's my plan. | 04:45 |
| dragon | prappl93: there's a reason for calling it Flash. | 04:45 |
| losha | dragon: you beat me to it... | 04:46 |
| thezboe | I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my EEE PC alongside Windows XP. Everything worked fine until I tried to boot into XP and Grub gave an error. Now it gives errors even when I try to boot into Ubuntu. Something like Grub Error: No such partition exists. What's going on here | 04:46 |
| prappl93 | dragon, losha, no. That isn't suppose to be what happens as far as I know... | 04:47 |
| losha | prappl93: you're right, it isn't. Actually, I haven't seen a lot of people reporting that particular symptom. Is there something unusual about your graphics card? | 04:48 |
| yates | single port | 04:48 |
| prappl93 | losha, not as far as I know. I have an Intel card and lspci is showing it properly as the right model... is there possibly a newer driver I could get? | 04:48 |

| scunizi | stsm: inkscape also has the same basic type of settings if you use that as well. | 04:59 |
| stsm | scunizi: gonna make this charity portrait and i need to hurry before the event is over, sorry for the complaining :p | 04:59 |
| stsm | scunizi: rarily but thanx, nice to know | 04:59 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: you might have to find out what packages are included in the meta and download the all individually. :( unless someone else has a better idea... | 05:00 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: OMFGoodness!?! | 05:01 |
| steven_Office | blakkheim, Im open to more options I was able to change grub from Boot "0" to boot Option "2" witch should have kick me back to the default kernel but nothing | 05:01 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: researching.... | 05:01 |
| rgov | Is kde-core not available in Karmic? | 05:01 |
| blakkheim | steven_Office: i'm not very experienced with grub2, i still use regular grub | 05:01 |
| victorArana | hi | 05:02 |
| rgov | is it now kde-minimal? | 05:02 |
| kostkon | dumducky, you could try with keryx http://keryxproject.org/ | 05:02 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: how would I do that without a working inet connection and pkg mgr on the target host? =o( | 05:02 |
| mbrigdan | Anyone here know if/how I can spread a backup (with rsync/rsnapshot) over multiple drives? | 05:02 |
| Fezzler | Cannot get Jackd and Hydrogen to do anything but crackle | 05:03 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: why don't you just put a liveCD in the drive and add it as a repository to sources.list? | 05:03 |
| steven_Office | blakkheim, at the install time I have the option on witch grub to install? its grub.cfg | 05:03 |
| kostkon | dumducky, download all the debs of the metapackage, put them in a folder and then install them e.g. like this dpkg -i *.deb | 05:03 |
| EastDallas | Fezzler: I'm gonna hide :p | 05:03 |
| EastDallas | Fezzler: lol | 05:03 |
| Fezzler | EastDallas>> :) | 05:03 |
| scunizi | mbrigdan: not sure but I was just reading about couchdb which is installed by default.. that might do it | 05:03 |
| Fezzler | EastDallas>> You're good | 05:03 |
| blakkheim | steven_Office: when you install ubuntu you can choose which you want to use, but i got an error when i tried regular grub there. | 05:04 |
| steven_Office | ic | 05:04 |
| blakkheim | steven_Office: i'd say just find someone who knows a bit more about grub2 to help you out | 05:04 |
| Fezzler | EastDallas>> Crackling is more than I got before - so progress :) | 05:04 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: apt-cdrom refused to mount or add cdrom source and editing sources.list didn't work either -- apt said it couldn't be done manually | 05:04 |
| steven_Office | blakkheim, thanks for everything... have a great one ..... | 05:05 |
| gotmilk82 | i am upset with ubuntu :(....I can't figure out a way to update my windows only BIOS flasher....virtualbox and qemu have failed me. Wine won't run it either.... | 05:05 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: can you mount the CD? | 05:05 |
| dumducky | kostkon: I need a package manifests to do that but the metapackages are not shown on packages.ubuntu.com (the 'Vrtual' section is empty | 05:05 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: can you mount a flash drive? | 05:06 |
| comp3 | oz_888 | 05:08 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: Not without editing /etc/fstab, but apt-cdrom does mount but then tells me it's not a ubuntu disk (it is, I ran the checksum boot applet and installed from it before). Yes, plugdev does seem to recognize my USB sticks. | 05:08 |
| kostkon | dumducky, hmm. maybe keryx will be able to download the packages of the metapackage automatically. but you'll obviously need to run it on another system. | 05:08 |
| switch10_ | gotmilk82: you wont be able to do it if the vendor doesnt make a Linux version | 05:08 |
| dumducky | kostkon: I'm using the liveCD on the target to get on IRtC and (hopefully) copy required .debs to target partition | 05:10 |
| stsm | i cannot find a program that can make periodic screenshots | 05:10 |
| switch10_ | gotmilk82: If you need to flash your BIOS you might have to re install Windows just to do it... | 05:10 |
| stsm | any suggestions? | 05:10 |
| gotmilk82 | well I am having trouble with laptop...on certain port replicators at the login the m button becomes a b repeating and the enter key becomes a ` repeating...only way to stop it is to boot off the replicator and then plop it on there after login :( Very annoying | 05:10 |
| dumducky | kostkon: I'm going to look at that URI (keryx), BBIAB. TY | 05:10 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: couldn't you add a usb stick as a repository? I've never done it, but it seems feasible. It would be the easiest route... | 05:10 |
| kostkon | dumducky, np | 05:10 |
| switch10_ | gotmilk82: is your keyboard setup properly? | 05:11 |
| scunizi | !aptoncd | dumducky EastDallas .. probably could be put on a usb stick as well. | 05:12 |
| ubottu | dumducky EastDallas .. probably could be put on a usb stick as well.: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 05:12 |
| switch10_ | gotmilk82: on install i mean... | 05:12 |
| thezboe | I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my EEE PC alongside Windows XP. Everything worked fine until I tried to boot into XP and Grub gave an error. Now it gives errors even when I try to boot into Ubuntu. Something like Grub Error: No such partition exists. Any idea's what i can do? | 05:12 |
| gotmilk82 | yes...works on most of the replicators, just not a few. Very odd. Dell claims that BIOS update should fix, but I can't get it on there... :( | 05:12 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: llas: same issue: what do I put on the stick (without downloading an entire .ISO at CDMA speeds)? BBIAB (researching) | 05:12 |
| DarkWell | are there ways to make ipset work with the liveCD kernel ? apt-get install ipset wasnt enough apparently | 05:14 |
| EastDallas | dumducky: sounds like keryx is a good option... | 05:14 |
| * dumducky slaps forehead ... duh -- copy the ISO that already have!! (sorry EastDallas, I am *dum*ducky after all) | 05:14 | |
| mbrigdan | scunizi: Hmm, that doesn't really seem like I could use it as backup software. Do you know if there's a way that I can make ubuntu treat 2 external usb drives as a single volume? | 05:14 |
| EastDallas | dumducky :! | 05:15 |
| scunizi | mbrigdan: the only thing I can think of is by using LVM.. but I reallly don't know that much about it. | 05:15 |
| EastDallas | dumucky good thinking... | 05:15 |
| vaio | nnm,nmnm | 05:17 |
| EastDallas | thezboe: I actually just helped someone with a similar problem the other night...trying to locate the ubuntuforums thread that solved the problem... | 05:17 |
| mbrigdan | scunizi, That looks like it could work, at least according to wikipedia. Now I just need to figure out how to use it. Thanks! | 05:18 |
| scunizi | mbrigdan: sure.. | 05:19 |
| scunizi | mbrigdan: the only issue with it is you might end up with part of one file split between the two usb sticks.. | 05:20 |
| dumducky | EastDallas: now how do I get APTonCD using a liveCD? | 05:20 |
| steven_Office | ok who nows were x is stored? and is it still called x11.. something I need to kill the Nvidia driver some how.... giving me kernal PANIC | 05:21 |

| kuzmaionitch | and i have a raid setup | 05:29 |
| EastDallas | zoug: not to install aptonCd, just to get the gnome packages. dumducky: Yeah, you can message me, but I just thought about something. It probably won't re-download all dependencies, just the packages that are part of the metapackages. | 05:29 |
| kuzmaionitch | and once in a while the machine just completely freezes | 05:29 |
| xhan | totem keeps cutting out on streams then buffers back at a snails pace. the only way to fix it is to press pause and play, then it will start playing again immediately. ALSO: totem doesnt tell me what songs playing on streaming radio anymore. does anyone know how to fix this? | 05:29 |
| kuzmaionitch | completely unresponsive | 05:30 |

| amaurea | Hello! I am trying to compile a program which relies on Qt3, while I have Qt4, and it refuses to compile with that. It needs qtcore and qtgui at least. But I can't find version 3 of those in the repository. How do I install them? and would the conflict with version 4? | 05:48 |
| lich | I'm using konqueror | 05:49 |
| OptimaD | blakkheim, whats more lighter than this? (im newbie so id want something friednly not purely terminal or something) | 05:49 |
| lich | in the gnome | 05:49 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: anything *buntu related is to be avoided if you want lightweight, unless you do a minimal commandline install. i would look into something like archlinux. | 05:50 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: or debian or anything that lets you start from a commandline and only install what you want | 05:50 |
| OptimaD | OptimaD, isnt archlinux complicated though? and is a command line installer? | 05:50 |
| lich | How do I optimize it?Please help me | 05:50 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: it's not complicated at all, it is a commandline install, yes. | 05:50 |
| OptimaD | ok... i will look into it..... what WM shud i intsall on archlinux? | 05:51 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: if you're more familiar with dpkg/aptitude then maybe just do an ubuntu minimal installation and only install a lightweight window manager instead of a full desktop environment | 05:51 |
| OptimaD | will my internet, etc all work just like it does now in ubuntu | 05:51 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: i like awesome/openbox, but dwm/fluxbox are also good. check out your options, there's a lot. | 05:52 |
| OptimaD | ive been using apt-get | 05:52 |
| EastDallas | lich: restate your question, I don't understand. Why are you using Konqueror? | 05:52 |
| kostkon | OptimaD, you'll need to setup a lot of things yourself | 05:52 |
| mbrigdan | Does anyone know what changing the LV properties of an lvm physical volume does? (Specifically, what does the "striped" option do?) | 05:52 |

| Guest60865 | question - when I hot plug a SATA CD drive to my system while it's powered on, how do I get the system to recogize it (i.e. put it in /dev/) without rebooting the system? | 05:52 |
| kostkon | OptimaD, then don't try arch | 05:52 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: it's worth the time to learn. | 05:52 |
| OptimaD | blakkheim, what if i just uninstall WM in ubuntu and install fluxbox or openbox? | 05:53 |
| lich | EastDallas:Because firefox is too slow, in my operating system | 05:53 |
| EastDallas | lich: are you saying Konqueror does not open when you click a link? | 05:53 |
| OptimaD | kostkon, any recommendations other than archlinux then? something lighter that wud be a bit faster on this p2 700mhz/512 | 05:53 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: you could do that, but you'd need to remove a lot of stuff to make it light. i'd recommend doing a minimal iso install of ubuntu. | 05:54 |
| Guest60865 | can no one answer my qeustions? | 05:54 |
| Guest60865 | *question? | 05:54 |
| amaurea | OptimaD: netbsd? plan9? | 05:54 |
| kostkon | OptimaD, eh, puppy linux. or try flux or openbox in ubutnu. or as blakkheim suggested, a minimal ubuntu | 05:54 |
| lich | EastDallas:yes.Always | 05:55 |
| amaurea | this one describes a very efficient operating system: http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/ | 05:55 |

| OptimaD | so shud i try puppy linux? is it like ubuntu but less? what WM does it use? | 05:57 |
| zoug | im new to irssi, how to hide the joins and quits? | 05:58 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: just do a minimal iso installation of ubuntu and try a few lightweight window managers. | 05:58 |

| blakkheim | zoug: /ignore #channel JOINS PARTS QUITS | 05:58 |
| OptimaD | blakkheim, i never saw minimal installation option when in stlaling? | 05:58 |

| zoug | blakkheim: thanks | 05:58 |
| amaurea | OptimaD: plan9 is an experimental operating system made by bell labs, with lots of neat concepts. synthesis is an even more experimental operating system, which is built aroud the concept of self-modifying code. none of them have enough programs for them to be useful | 05:58 |
| blakkheim | OptimaD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:59 |
| robbmunson | youre probably gonna need sudo for fdisk as well..I forgot to put that in Guest60865..sorry. | 05:59 |

| plustax | ? | 06:04 |

| l3ns | robbmunson, hm okay, i thought it would damage to my other files on the other hd.... | 06:05 |
| zoug | blakkheim: i wanted basic irc commands on irssi through /help | 06:05 |
| burzki | zoug, no spaces in front. /help | 06:05 |
| EastDallas | lich: Honestly, if Konqueror was way better or something I would say fix it, but why not just try Opera or Chromium if Firefox is too slow instead of using a KDE app? | 06:05 |
| lich | EastDallas:konqueror always timeout | 06:05 |
| amaurea | zoug: the help appears in the status window | 06:05 |

| mMezquitale | !es | 06:10 |
| blakkheim | rodri: #ubuntu-es does | 06:10 |
| EastDallas | lich: why not try Chromium? It supports chinese input and is very fast. https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 06:10 |
| rodri | ok, thanks! :D | 06:11 |
| lich | EastDallas:I use Chromium, the Chinese characters is difficult to adjust | 06:11 |
| plustax | it says no process found | 06:11 |
| plustax | but it left the gray square in my upper right tray | 06:11 |
| plustax | and it wont go away. | 06:11 |
| plustax | nvm fixed it | 06:13 |
| EastDallas | lich: Since konqueror is KDE app and other browsers work, you'll probably need to take this over to #kubuntu. | 06:13 |
| plustax | why is istanbul doing that? | 06:13 |
| plustax | any ideas? | 06:13 |
| EastDallas | !kubuntu | lich | 06:13 |
| ubottu | lich: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 06:13 |
| EastDallas | lich: you may also want to try seamonkey? | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | hi | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | i'm using the Dust theme | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | and for whatever reason | 06:14 |
| lich | EastDallas:no | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | Applications, Places, and System are bolt | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | i don't want that | 06:14 |
| jacob_ | bolt = bold | 06:14 |
| lich | EastDallas:I do not know what that is | 06:15 |
| EastDallas | lich: seamonkey is another web browser | 06:15 |
| amaurea | How do I list every package that could provide a given file? I need moc for qt4, but I only have moc from qt3 | 06:15 |
| kostkon | jacob_, you could try gnome-color-chooser | 06:16 |
| kostkon | jacob_, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/gnome-color-chooser | 06:16 |
| lich | EastDallas：ok，I will try seamonkey, Thanks for your advice | 06:17 |
| kostkon | jacob_, another option would be to edit the theme or use gconf or something like that | 06:17 |
| amaurea | Ok, I solved it by removing the qt3-dev-tools | 06:18 |
| zoug | amaurea: try automoc | 06:18 |
| amaurea | zoug: what is that? | 06:19 |
| zoug | amaurea: This package contains the automoc4 binary which is used to run moc on the right | 06:19 |
| zoug | binaries in a Qt 4 or KDE 4 application. | 06:19 |
| burzki | jacob_, right click desktop, select change desktop background, fonts tab, applications font | 06:19 |

| steven_Office | Ok I need to reinstall X from the 9.10 cd when running ( sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg ) how do I add my cdrom to the source.list? | 06:20 |
| papul | when i compiled my c file i got output file as a.out. however it can be executed only thru terminal but not thru double click. how can i do that? chmod?? | 06:21 |
| robbmunson | steven_Office: I believe its as easy as sudo apt-cdrom add - | 06:21 |
| steven_Office | k | 06:21 |
| robbmunson | steven_Office: as long as you have it in the drive when you do the command and update your sources it should always work :) | 06:22 |
| kostkon | papul, e.g. chmod 755 a.out | 06:22 |
| jacob_ | burzki, i chaged all th efonts to not bold | 06:22 |
| === ushaft__ is now known as bibekp | ||
| jacob_ | but..... still bold | 06:22 |
| papul | kostkon, 755 for making it executable?? | 06:22 |
| kostkon | papul, yeap | 06:22 |
| papul | where can i find the list of all the numbers? | 06:22 |
| burzki | jacob_, try scaling them down, say from 12 to 10, or whatever | 06:22 |
| papul | kostkon, ok thanks :) | 06:23 |
| kostkon | papul, np | 06:23 |
| jacob_ | they are all 10 already | 06:23 |
| burzki | jacob_, or select a different font | 06:23 |
| burzki | try 9 | 06:23 |
| jacob_ | which font would affect it | 06:23 |
| jacob_ | window title font? | 06:23 |
| burzki | i have mine on loam book 10 in dust, pretty nice | 06:24 |
| lich | EastDallas：I have not used kde | 06:24 |
| burzki | applications | 06:24 |
| jacob_ | well | 06:24 |
| jacob_ | I changed it | 06:24 |
| burzki | *loma | 06:24 |
| jacob_ | the font IS smaller | 06:24 |
| jacob_ | but still bold | 06:24 |
| burzki | jacob_, some fonts only have bold, or look bold in the panel. try one with a finer line detail til you find one you like | 06:25 |
| EastDallas | lich: Konqueror is a KDE application. It uses KDE libraries. And all the browsers that run natively in gnome are working, so the people at #kubuntu would probably be of more help. | 06:25 |
| lich | EastDallas:I see, thanks | 06:28 |

| burzki | student_modnar, the windows installer will overwrite grub. so you can partition first and install windows to its own partition, or install windows first, then install ubuntu using manual partitioning during the install | 06:52 |
| workman | Yea, the slide out and my fingers don't like each other | 06:53 |
| karma_police | i ran into probs with grub after windows install also | 06:53 |
| student_modnar | burzki: I've done the manual installations before, I was mainly curious as I've never received a blank drive, without any partitions, so I was wondering about having gparted write the disk label versus having windows do it | 06:53 |

| student_modnar | so I figure I can get away with creating a linux partition first for data, which is only data | 06:57 |

| kkiok | k thanks | 07:12 |
| l3ns | punkyp00h, yes but I don't know what's the command to run the xchat on the terminal...>.< | 07:12 |
| burzki | Davy, in terminal: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 07:12 |
| punkyp00h | l3ns: you can get full path by typing which <application> in the terminal | 07:12 |
| zoug | burzki: lol, its a huge one.. | 07:12 |
| panlin | xchat | 07:12 |
| punkyp00h | for example which xchat | 07:12 |
| kostkon | l3ns, just put "xchat" in command | 07:12 |
| kostkon | the command field* | 07:12 |
| punkyp00h | should show you /usr/bin/xchat or something | 07:12 |
| steven_Office | kkiok, What are you looking at running in your VM | 07:12 |
| l3ns | hm is that the same as the one i had to type when I do Alt+f2? | 07:13 |
| burzki | zoug, exactly. the community help page i linked is much more concise | 07:13 |
| kostkon | l3ns, yeap | 07:13 |
| l3ns | ah cool. the name is up to me, yes? | 07:13 |
| punkyp00h | yep | 07:13 |
| l3ns | okay thanks punkyp00h and kostkon :) | 07:13 |
| kostkon | l3ns, no, but usually you can easily figure it out | 07:14 |
| punkyp00h | np | 07:14 |
| kostkon | l3ns, Xchat thus "xchat", Pidgin → pidgin, etc | 07:14 |
| Davy | burzki: done. and it says its the newest version | 07:14 |
| panlin | but moc is mocp :) | 07:14 |
| kkiok | what is kvm | 07:14 |
| steven_Office | kkiok, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 07:15 |
| kostkon | l3ns, ah you meant the "name" field. Yeah, you can put anything you like | 07:15 |
| steven_Office | kkiok, some thing like VMware expt FREE | 07:15 |
| l3ns | kostkon, okay added now. will reboot to check if it works. brb :) | 07:15 |
| punkyp00h | how do i get past a FATAL: Error inserting i8042 ? | 07:15 |
| kostkon | l3ns, no need to reboot. just logout and login again | 07:15 |
| punkyp00h | on boot | 07:15 |
| burzki | Davy, try going back to activate the hardware driver again. system/admin/hardrivrs | 07:16 |
| kkiok | nice were do i get it ? | 07:16 |
| Davy | burzki: should i remove it and then activate it again? | 07:16 |
| hiatus | Virtualbox > kvm | 07:16 |
| burzki | Davy, sure. you may need to reboot to get it going. | 07:17 |
| punkyp00h | yea i prefer virtualbox also | 07:17 |
| steven_Office | kkiok, here this should get you going I dont think much has changed from 8.10 as for getting it going.... http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-8.10 | 07:17 |
| burzki | Davy, it may just come up, check in the top applet, maybe unplug your cable to encourage it | 07:18 |
| amaurea | Is it possible to install packages for other versions of ubuntu? The version of a package I need is not available in the repository for my version, but it is available in the repository for Lucid | 07:18 |
| Davy | burzki: got it | 07:18 |
| burzki | sweet | 07:18 |
| Davy | i can see all the available networks now | 07:18 |
| Davy | thanks | 07:19 |
| burzki | Davy, there are some good tutorials in the ubuntu wiki and community documentation on using terminal and command line | 07:19 |
| burzki | Davy, happy sailing | 07:20 |
| l3ns | hmm it did not... tho I can see the xchat being enabled on the Sessions Preferences.. | 07:20 |
| l3ns | perhaps I need to save it on somewhere? | 07:20 |
| kostkon | amaurea, try it. you may get deps errors, on the other hand, you may not. if it's just one package it's ok. but don;t try to install many packages from lucid. you may mess up your system a little. | 07:21 |
| quietone | can anyone help me change the sound pref program in ubuntu 9.10 to the one used in 9.04? | 07:21 |
| nomad77 | l3ns: try "xchat-gnome" | 07:21 |
| amaurea | kostkon: but how, exactly do I do it? | 07:21 |
| l3ns | nomad77, olright :) | 07:21 |
| amaurea | kostkon: do I need to add that repository as one of my repositories? | 07:21 |
| steven_Office | kkiok, did that get you what you needed? | 07:22 |
| amaurea | kostkon: or do I download a single .deb file and install it, or what? | 07:22 |
| kostkon | amaurea, better download the deb. is it a ppa? | 07:22 |
| kostkon | amaurea, don't add the repo | 07:22 |
| amaurea | kostkon: what is a ppa? I just found the package listed on packages.ubuntu.com | 07:23 |
| airtonix | personal package archive | 07:23 |
| kostkon | amaurea, ok. get it from there. | 07:23 |
| kostkon | !ppa | amaurea | 07:23 |
| ubottu | amaurea: 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. | 07:23 |
| panlin | PPA is powerful | 07:23 |
| amaurea | perhaps it is easiest to compile the newest version myself, and make a package of it myself | 07:23 |
| gaelfx1 | I'm having a problem where my screensaver starts up while I'm watching videos in VLC, and though the screensaver does go away if I wait a few seconds, it's still running in the background so that when the video finishes, the monitor never goes to sleep unless I move the mouse around. This wouldn't be such a big deal except that I use the Web interface to control VLC from another laptop | 07:24 |
| kostkon | amaurea, you could do that yes | 07:24 |
| * amaurea reads about ppas | 07:24 | |

| VanRoy | Hi all. I have a problem on Gnome desktop. when I create a new user, it is not possible to add new application icons on the desktop of this new user. How can I fix this problem ? | 07:25 |
| airtonix | gaelfx1, the 'stop screensaver' option in vlc doesn't have any effect ? | 07:26 |
| gaelfx1 | airtonix: hang on, I'll check that and report back in 5 minutes | 07:26 |
| stickboy | if i try to archive using archive manager a folder to 7zip parts but abort it, does it damage the original? | 07:26 |
| [1]Rob | I've got quite the headache to take care of. I'm attempting to install drivers for my wireless card. ive made it most of the way through the installation using ndiswrapper and im not entirely sure where to go from here. newbe here, im quick but try to be gentle lol | 07:27 |
| airtonix | stickboy, archiving a collection of files or a folder does not modify the originals | 07:28 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, do you know your chipset? | 07:28 |
| [1]Rob | amd64 | 07:28 |
| coskungurel | hello, can anyone help me here urgently? | 07:28 |
| [1]Rob | other than that... might take me a sec | 07:28 |
| shane1 | what's up coskungurel? | 07:28 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, take a sec | 07:28 |
| exodus_ms | lol | 07:28 |
| coskungurel | I am getting an error and cannot get my ubuntu up | 07:28 |
| [1]Rob | lol | 07:28 |
| zoug | burzki: wireless is heating up here :) | 07:28 |
| stickboy | ok thank you airtonix | 07:28 |
| panlin | what error? | 07:28 |
| [1]Rob | ok, its nvidia, shall i get more specific? | 07:28 |
| burzki | zoug, no doubt. but isn't it always! ;-) | 07:29 |
| coskungurel | "Could not update ICEauthorization" | 07:29 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, yup | 07:29 |
| gaelfx1 | airtonix: turns out that was already enabled, so I guess that option isn't working, no | 07:29 |
| zoug | burzki: true, much more after 9.10 | 07:30 |
| exodus_ms | [1]Rob} what is the chipset of the wifi card you are using | 07:30 |
| airtonix | gaelfx1, ok it doesn't affect my screensaver either (i assume you are using ubuntu 9.10) ? | 07:30 |
| patriick | sup guise | 07:30 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, try lspci -v go down to find the network controller | 07:30 |
| [1]Rob | its a linksys wmp54gs | 07:30 |
| gaelfx1 | airtonix: yeah, I am | 07:30 |
| burzki | exodus_ms, working on it | 07:30 |
| rgov | i have a metacity theme that is installing through the Appearance preference window but aren't showing up there after installation; is there a way to debug | 07:30 |
| [1]Rob | apologies, for some reason i thought you meant the motherboard>.< | 07:31 |
| exodus_ms | burzki} cool, apologies | 07:31 |
| airtonix | gaelfx1, inresolved : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5873/ | 07:31 |
| airtonix | gaelfx1, unresolved* | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | rgov: you sure its an actual 'theme' or is it just a specific PART of a theme. Check the 'Customize' button and look at all the different parts you can use. It may be in there | 07:31 |
| burzki | exodus_ms, no apologies, stay tuned | 07:31 |
| * exodus_ms is staying tuned | 07:32 | |
| coskungurel | ah the exact error is "could not update ICEauthority file /home/cosh/ .ICE authority | 07:32 |
| airtonix | gaelfx1, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/446900 | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | rgov: i find most things that claim to be themes are just one part (Controls, window border, icon set, and so on) | 07:32 |
| zoug | [1]Rob: that is you r router i guess, we need to know your wireless adapter listed in lspci | 07:32 |
| burzki | zoug, true about 9.10, but the bc43 has been issue from .. well, forever. and still in lucid. damn money changers | 07:33 |
| l3ns | hmm did not work still.. | 07:33 |
| gaelfx1 | got it, thanks | 07:33 |
| panlin | that's strange, xchat should work | 07:33 |
| rgov | Dr_Willis: well, that way i can get it to look remotely correct on the 'custom' preview icon, but it does not render the titlebar remotely correct | 07:33 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, ? still with us? | 07:34 |
| l3ns | panlin, what is the path for xchat, i will try put it in the command box instead... | 07:34 |
| zoug | burzki: think he is looking in lspci | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | rgov: not suire what you mean. You could customize the them then do the 'save as...' and i think it will make a proper preview for the 'theme' tab. | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | rgov: im confused by your use of the term 'remotely' | 07:35 |
| [1]Rob | yes sorry, Network controller:broadcom Corporation BCM4318... i believe thats what im looking for | 07:35 |
| panlin | /usr/bin/xchat | 07:35 |
| zoug | burzki: lol, another 4318 | 07:35 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, zoug great. just did that one | 07:35 |
| panlin | l3ns, it's /usr/bin/xchat | 07:35 |
| burzki | lol indeed | 07:36 |
| [1]Rob | lol theouch lol thats not good :D | 07:36 |
| [1]Rob | ouch* | 07:36 |

| l3ns | panlin, okay thanks.. but yeh "xchat" should work. I can see in the xchat properties launcher, the command written is "xchat" | 07:37 |
| gaelfx1 | garish and dark? isn't that a bit of a paradox? | 07:37 |
| panlin | l3ns, that's great :) | 07:37 |
| rgov | gaelfx1: possibly | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rgov: check out the gnome-art and gnome-artng programs they let you easially get themes from the various gnome theme archive sites | 07:37 |

| l3ns | panlin, i mean no not yet it did not work, it should have worked >.< | 07:38 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, have you tried enabling the hardware drivers? | 07:38 |
| gaelfx1 | rgov: like the good doctor said, gnome-art has a pretty wide range of stuff, definitely worth checking out | 07:38 |
| panlin | ....... | 07:38 |
| l3ns | i will try the path instead, brb... | 07:38 |
| rgov | will do, thanks | 07:38 |
| airtonix | skitzo, turn of the screensaver | 07:38 |
| panlin | are you sure you put it correctly in sessions? | 07:38 |

| StepNjump | Any help? | 07:42 |
| zoug | StepNjump: may be your internet just died | 07:42 |
| amee2k__ | hm... i think i once had that too. iirc aptitude update fixed it | 07:42 |
| gaelfx1 | StepNjump: you should try changing your software sources | 07:42 |
| StepNjump | No, cuz I'm on the internet now | 07:42 |
| jaceleon | I guess you're using a dlink router.... | 07:43 |
| StepNjump | How do I do that gaelfxl? | 07:43 |
| zoug | StepNjump: hi the reload button in synaptic | 07:43 |
| StepNjump | please | 07:43 |
| amee2k__ | or maybe you're using an old repo | 07:43 |
| gaelfx1 | StepNjump: I get those same errors all the time on newer updates from rootguide because apparently, they are fast with the lists but not so fast with syncing | 07:43 |
| l3ns | panlin, it worked :) i used "xchat" and clicked the Remember Currently Running Applications under the Session Options tab :) | 07:43 |
| amee2k__ | in either case, has something to do with you having an old database that lists packages that aren't there anymore | 07:43 |
| zoug | StepNjump: *Hit | 07:43 |

| gaelfx1 | amee2k__: behind me probably | 07:44 |
| panlin | l3ns, i'am just a very beginner of ubuntu :) | 07:44 |
| jaceleon | and why would you do that? | 07:44 |
| gaelfx1 | I can't even get it to start up in live mode on my MSI Wind U120 | 07:44 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, you'll also want to remover ndiswrapper in synaptic. | 07:45 |
| amee2k__ | yesterday i decided to reinstall my laptop since the 9.10 upgrade broke so much stuff that it made the system virtually unusable | 07:45 |
| shane1 | hmmm... i saw some people connect.. no luck listening? | 07:45 |
| jaceleon | then it wont work there, not without workarounds | 07:45 |
| amee2k__ | but since my aging D610 is geting more like a netbook performance-wise i decided to try UNR on it | 07:45 |
| panlin | l3ns, but when i want to add a application, there is no need to click the Remember Currently Running Applications under the Session Options tab | 07:45 |

| StepNjump | oh ok gaelfxl thanks | 07:46 |
| l3ns | panlin, what version of ubuntu you are currently using? | 07:46 |
| gaelfx1 | StepNjump: no problem, if that doesn't work, then report back here ;) | 07:46 |

| amee2k__ | but now my list of not-likes is getting longer and longer. i manged to kill the ret---- "media center" style menu, but i still don't have wlan, and graphics are crippled sometimes | 07:47 |
| amee2k__ | e.g. when i hover a tray icon, the tooltip is just a box of white noise | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jaceleon: or check the crunchbang web site to see what server they reccomend. or check your irc clients server listing and see if theres a list of 'oftc' servers | 07:47 |
| nomad77 | jaceleon: try /connect irc.oftc.net then /join #crunchbang | 07:47 |
| jaceleon | amee2k__, have you tried ndiswrapper? | 07:47 |
| amee2k__ | jaceleon: it used to work on previous ubuntus and even debian with the stock b34 drivers | 07:48 |
| l3ns | panlin, ah. must be some 8.04 issues. ~_~ | 07:48 |
| panlin | l3ns, but I use slackware before | 07:48 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, ? any luck | 07:49 |
| panlin | l3ns, ubuntu 8.04 is a LTS version, should't have this problem | 07:49 |
| amee2k__ | suspend to ram is working now thanks to the reinstall. adjusting display brighness (which used to work on ubuntu too) doesn't however. | 07:49 |
| amee2k__ | well, </rant> and my final question, can i expect any of the above to get better by reinstalling regular ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| StepNjump | gaelfxl: it seems to be working fine now! Thank you. I pointed to a server in Canada instead...! | 07:50 |
| airtonix | amee2k__, have you posted this on ubuntu forums yet ? | 07:50 |
| amee2k__ | nope. would it help? | 07:51 |
| StepNjump | gaelfxl: thank you! | 07:51 |
| l3ns | panlin, i will try with pidgin now, w/out the remember thing... brb. | 07:51 |
| airtonix | amee2k__, to the degree which you used <enter> i think it would be better so you just paste url here | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | it cant hurt to file a bug report. | 07:51 |
| panlin | l3ns, :) | 07:52 |
| amee2k__ | airtonix: sorry, irc only supports 512 characters minus overhead per message :P | 07:52 |
| airtonix | amee2k__, yes this is my point | 07:52 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: hm... no offense, but does someone actually read them? | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: bug reports? yes. theres a group of people/procedures for how they get handled. | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: of course it pays to search the reports first to be sure you are not re-re-rereporting somtjhing thats allready been reported | 07:54 |
| l3ns | panlin, pidgin worked!.. | 07:54 |
| amee2k__ | because i don't have the expertise to provide a patch along with the rant, and i've never ever gotten a reply to a bug report of the form "X doesn't work for me. please fix it. thank you" | 07:54 |
| panlin | nice :-) | 07:55 |
| amee2k__ | much less seen the bugs fixed | 07:55 |
| burzki | amee2k__, you have a b43 wifi? | 07:55 |
| amee2k__ | yeah, "Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Rev. 03" | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: if youa re going to just rant.. dont bother. | 07:56 |
| panlin | l3ns, have you got a bluetooth on your computer? | 07:56 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: what other than stating that something doesn't work is there to a bug report, if i can't provide a fix myself? | 07:56 |
| Gryph | can someone point me to the right direction of setting up a fresh install of ubuntu-server 9.10 with 2 150gb sata drive as either hardware raid (integrated on mobo through bios) or software raid from the partition manager in a fresh install? | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: read through some of the other bug reports on hwo things get worked out. Theres common logs/debugging output that are often requested. | 07:57 |
| burzki | amee2k__, the bcm4306 is supported as legacy. i can help you set that up again. broadcom chips are notorious for their proprietary drivers | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: I no longer have a B43 based machine to even check the status of those drivers. So i cant help much in this area. | 07:57 |
| Gryph | I keep getting stopped at the grub install part | 07:57 |
| burzki | my guess is that alot of these issues are not really bugs, but driver issues from hardware mnfctrs | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | burzki: you got it 100% - if the wireless makers worked with linux more. there would be less issues. | 07:58 |
| l3ns | panlin, nop, not on this machine. why? | 07:58 |
| xim_ | why does vlc player have a little penguin wearing a santa hat for its icon right now? | 07:58 |
| lonejack | Hi, I did a lot of mistakes on eclipse installation. 1. Installed eclipse from synaptic. 2. installed new sw from (help->install new sw ). 3. discovered the repo yogarine (this should solve all) installed new php dev options. So... How can I uninstall all and repeat ? Give advices please, thank you | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Of course the wireless drivers are slowly making progress. and there are often regressions in the new drivers | 07:58 |
| xim_ | anyone else seeing that? i surely didnt swap the icon intentionally | 07:58 |
| quietone | I've got a machine with about 128K RAM and 20G disk. Any suggestions for how it could be used in a small office that uses a windows network | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | xim_: becuase vlc devs have a sence of humor | 07:59 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: hm... okay. i'll try and make some time to take a closer look during christmas holidays | 07:59 |
| burzki | and any new update usually means going through all the steps over again | 07:59 |

| Billiard | quietone: i hope you mean 128 MB of ram at least | 07:59 |
| burzki | amee2k__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 07:59 |
| panlin | l3ns, if you got a bluetooth, you can try blueproximity, its's cool and useful, it can lock you computer like mercedes-benz car :) | 08:00 |
| amee2k__ | quietone: 128k would barely run dos so get a ram upgrade for it. then maybe damn small linux ir so | 08:00 |
| quietone | Billiard. Yes you are right 128MB and I installed from the alternative but haven't done anything since | 08:00 |
| Billiard | quietone: what do you want to do with the machine? | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: works in google chrome here, and firefox,. testing chromium browser now | 08:00 |
| Billiard | quietone: will it have a gui, or just cli | 08:01 |
| xim_ | Dr_Willis, so you see that on your computer also? | 08:01 |
| SandGorgon | 128 mb should support Puppy linux - especially the NOP flavor with XFCE | 08:01 |
| amee2k__ | burzki: right. i think i killed the web browser when i killed all the "retail environment" sh--. also, i think i found something too. brb need to reboot | 08:01 |
| l3ns | panlin, i have a blue tooth dangle i could try it out. :) | 08:01 |
| kostkon | xim_, it's an easter egg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media) | 08:01 |
| quietone | Billiard: I just want it to be useful. Maybe people come into office and print files from it. For that GUI would be better | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | xim_: ive seen it in the past. :) | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | xim_: ive seen other apps/games do similer things also | 08:02 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Zeppelin | ||
| xim_ | kostkon, easter eggs usually require the user to do something unusual to discover | 08:02 |
| Billiard | quietone: could try xfce rather than gnome, idk what you are really asking about suggests for what? | 08:02 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, everything fine in chromium ? | 08:02 |
| [1]Rob | burzki, that worked wonderfully, thank you very much! Thanks to you too Zoug! lol now i just have to figure out the usb wireless for this pc, but that is another day. thanks again! | 08:02 |
| xim_ | its TRIPPING ME OUTTTTT | 08:02 |
| mokmeister | i want to remove ndiswrapper from my system. Is it safe to use purge remove or could some of the configs be used by other apps? | 08:02 |
| xim_ | ZOMG | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: that site looks fine in all 4 browsers i am using. Opera, Firefox, CHromium, Google chrome. whats the exazct issue you are having? | 08:02 |
| kostkon | xim_, in most cases yes, you're right | 08:03 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: hm... point taken. i still think that ubuntu could really use a more informal way to report problems in order to live up to that "for human beings" line | 08:03 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, after a few (10 secs) it gives an "aw snap" error | 08:03 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: just more 'buzzwords and marketing terms' that mean very little. | 08:03 |
| Gryph | can someone point me to the right direction of setting up a fresh install of ubuntu-server 9.10 with 2 150gb sata drive as either hardware raid (integrated on mobo through bios) or software raid from the partition manager in a fresh install? I can't get Grub2 to install. any help would be great :) | 08:03 |
| quietone | Billard: I guess just how it could be used in an office environment. | 08:03 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, good to hear. be sure to remove ndiswrapper from synaptic. it could cause a conflict w/ fwcutter | 08:04 |
| quietone | Billard: xfce? | 08:04 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: i know its just marketing BS. but its what people read. i mean, thats what ads are for. so no wonder that people like me then have certain expectations | 08:04 |
| [1]Rob | oh thanks for that too | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: couild be a version differeance. ive no issues here at all. I do notice that google/chromouim/opera look almost identical.. firefox looks the most different of the 4. | 08:04 |
| Billiard | quietone: 128MB of ram isnt going to be very useful in an office environment, upgrade the ram, ram is so cheap these days | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: ive noticed that people tend to have too many 'expectations' | 08:05 |
| burzki | [1]Rob, great. good luck. well done | 08:05 |
| Billiard | !xfce | quietone | 08:05 |
| ubottu | quietone: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 08:05 |
| mokmeister | to clarify, "apt-get --purge remove ndiswrapper" | 08:05 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: yeah, thats what customers do usually ;) | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: using chromium -> 4.0.252.0 (Ubuntu build 32323) right now. | 08:05 |
| gaelfx1 | StepNjump: no problem man, sorry didn't see any messages til now, was busy | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: and then when they get somthing for 'free' they seem to have even worse expectataions.. vs paying $200 for an OS and being ok with issues... (illogical i guess) | 08:06 |
| TerminalError | when i try and do a update or a apt-get install. It Reading Database gets to 50% then halts. | 08:06 |
| quietone | Billard: I will consider that. I'd have to convince the volunteer org to spend some money on it. Probably a no go as there is no local support for linux machines. | 08:06 |
| PDG1 | quick question: I'm using gftp and when I'm transfering files its renaming the file with the entire path name. what am I doing wrong? | 08:06 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, i have the 4.0.272.0 (34708) Ubuntu version | 08:07 |
| TerminalError | i have tried a apt-get clean all and update and it still freezes/halts on 50% on the Reading Database | 08:07 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: well, i'm using the free way because i'm not okay with having to pay for being a beta tester. and having product support ending when the product finally reaches any state of maturity | 08:07 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| l3ns | hmm, I just finished mounting my second hard drive, I checked on the properties and see that there are 23.5 GB used already, but it's a newly bought hd and not supposed to have files inside. there are no files/hidden files I can see on that disk too. what could be the content of the 23.5 gb used? | 08:08 |
| Billiard | l3ns: how big is the drive? | 08:08 |
| amee2k__ | thanks burzki, i got the card to at least show me the networks. still having trouble connecting though | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: i find the term 'support' to be another buzzword these days also. :) im my own support - Then again 'support' for me being a factory worker/skilled tradesman/repairman means MUCH different things then what it means for a 'home pc user' | 08:08 |
| l3ns | Billiard, 500gb | 08:08 |
| burzki | amee2k__, maybe the "for humans" line means its not all automated for morons and it takes a human to run commandline to get it working .. ;-) | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | l3ns: what filesystem? 5% of ext2/3/4 is reserved by defauilt. | 08:09 |
| Billiard | l3ns: 5% is reserved by default i believe | 08:09 |
| burzki | good | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | l3ns: tuneable with the 'tune2fs' command. | 08:09 |
| Billiard | l3ns: you can tweak that when you make the filesystem | 08:09 |
| TerminalError | does anyone have any idea as to how to fix this or point me to a website that might. I have looked.... | 08:09 |
| l3ns | ahhh i used ext3 for it. :) good to know it's done by default :) | 08:09 |
| l3ns | thanks guys :) | 08:09 |
| amee2k__ | burzki: lets assume i haven't touched the other operating system from redmond since like the w2k era. i'm sure not a pro, but i think i have at least the basic skills. doesn't mean i like to have to fix everything first | 08:10 |
| l3ns | Dr_Willis, Billiard is 5% the minimum? | 08:10 |
| kitty__ | ok, i am really having issues with my networking configuration, anyone able to help me? | 08:11 |
| l3ns | can I trim it down to just say 1gb?.. | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | l3ns: 0% would be the Minimum | 08:11 |
| burzki | amee2k__, ditto. me either. but it not linx. its coporate monay makers of hardware devices not letting the info out so we can plug it all in natively. its a systemic difficulty | 08:12 |
| kitty__ | l3ns : try tune2fs /dev/whatever -m new% | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | l3ns: deopending on what the drive is used for you can lower it.. of course its not really an issue till you get the drive close to full | 08:12 |
| l3ns | Dr_Willis, if I do that would there be any negative effects on ym machine? | 08:12 |
| amee2k__ | Dr_Willis: yeah, you're probably right there. in above context "support" meant something like not having the mature product replaced by the next buggy thing right away | 08:12 |
| TerminalError | i have a feeling it has something to do with /usr/bin/dpkg which is causing the problem | 08:12 |
| l3ns | kitty_, thanks! I will take not of that command :) | 08:12 |
| l3ns | note* | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: next buggy thing = 'latest eyecandy/new gimnicky item' that a product must have or else people will call it 'old garbage' :) | 08:13 |
| amee2k__ | burzki: well, software has issues too. especially since i seem to have a rather unusual idea of what constitutes usability | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | amee2k__: and 9.10 is very much a 'lets try the latest stuff to get the bugs worked out so they are not in the next LTS release' sort of product | 08:13 |
| burzki | i suppose we all do .. | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Im amazed that all these wireless cards work as well as they do. | 08:14 |
| plustax | I need some flash help, guys. Anyone available? | 08:14 |
| amee2k__ | <insert your favourite rant about the unr default gui here> | 08:14 |
| burzki | Dr_Willis, i agree about 9.10 ive skipped it altogether. still working on 8.04 and playing in the alpha. maybe ot | 08:14 |
| plustax | (pertains to ubuntu obviously) | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | this seasons cutting edge innovation becomes next seasons worthless feature. :) | 08:15 |
| mobi-sheep | amee2k__: I recall UNR have Desktop Switcher feature but that was Jaunty. I'm not sure about Karmic. | 08:16 |
| burzki | i just like a working machine | 08:16 |
| plustax | Anyone? | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | *cough* *compiz cube* *cough* | 08:16 |
| chipgeri | which is the limewire equivalent client for ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !limewire | chipgeri | 08:16 |
| ubottu | chipgeri: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. | 08:16 |
| mobi-sheep | !limewire | chipgeri | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | chipgeri: or try frostwire. :) | 08:16 |
| mrabti | hello | 08:16 |
| amee2k__ | mobi-sheep: it has a strange full-screen "media center" style menu that imo is really stupid on a system designed for small screen | 08:16 |
| burzki | my flat screen looks well enough | 08:16 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, I see a lot of driver *regressions* even w.r.t ubuntu 6.06 - for e.g bug435244 | 08:16 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: they have been improveing the over all wireless/networking 'stack' in the kernels from what ive read. So a lot of drivers had to get 'updated' | 08:17 |
| burzki | kitty_, say more about network issues? | 08:17 |
| mrabti | I ve installed ubuntu and have a problem with grub, when I use the commande update-grub he ive me the following error : error: cannot open `/dev/sdb' while attempting to get disk size | 08:17 |
| mrabti | how can I fix this probleme | 08:17 |
| Dr_Willis | mrabti: seen that befor. It was not really a problem. since grub updated/installed anyway | 08:18 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, i'd like that to be true but (for e.g. ) Davicom Ethernet drivers have not been working since Hardy .. and open bugs have not been addressed | 08:18 |
| faryshta | Hi. When I boot the monitor start on max bright and the sound on minimum. How can I make the system start with other settings? (max sound and minimum brightness) | 08:18 |
| mobi-sheep | amee2k__: I have netbook and I'm using UNR system. It does not bother me but sometimes I'd like to avoid maximized windows and such. Will try LXDE or minimal gnome installation eventually. | 08:18 |
| l3ns | kitty_, i tried this command: ttune2fs /dev/sdb1 -m 0% and returns a bad reserved block ratio... | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | l3ns: dont use a % | 08:18 |
| Billiard | l3ns: try taking out the % symbol | 08:18 |
| Dr_Willis | and you may want to set it to 1% :) | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | just in case it does fill up and needs fscked. | 08:19 |
| l3ns | Okay it worked :) but I can still see 198.0MB used ^^ | 08:19 |
| OldFarter | is it possible that gpu overheating can freze the computer? | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | OldFarter: its possible yes. | 08:20 |
| amee2k__ | hm... where can i download ISOs for releases other than 9.10 and 8.4? | 08:20 |
| Flannel | amee2k__: release.ubuntu.com has all of the current ones | 08:20 |
| mobi-sheep | amee2k__: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ | 08:21 |
| pingun8 | hello guys. I am running a dual boot ubuntu/wind, how can i reinstall wind partition without losing the grub or any other problems? | 08:21 |
| OldFarter | cause if i crank nexuiz for about 5min the mouse stop reacting and in a mather of 10sec the whole computer in not responding to anything | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: it pays to learn how to restore grub. | 08:21 |
| shane1 | anyone want to test a live flash music stream for me? now playing jessiecook: http://snowberry.tomatoe.webqualityhost.net:5080/flowplayer2/moss/cortesradio.html | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: single hard drive? or 2 drives? | 08:21 |
| amee2k__ | Flannel,mobi-sheep,thanks. where the hell do you guys know all that from? ;) | 08:22 |
| mobi-sheep | pingun8: You can't. Windows like to be in charge of everything and overwrite MBR. Silly, I know. :( | 08:22 |
| Billiard | pingun8: afaik you cant install windows without it overwritting grub with its bootloader | 08:22 |
| Fenix-Dark | hi | 08:22 |
| Fenix-Dark | i'm going to install ubuntu on a box to use as a server. it has room for 4 hard drives, I have 3 2tB hard drives for storage (using this box for network backups partly) and 1 640gB (much faster) hard drive for os/apps/more data storage. would a RAID 5 make sense for the 3 2tB hard drives? or is there a better option? | 08:22 |
| Flannel | amee2k__: You pick it up as you go along | 08:22 |
| Oasa | hi all | 08:22 |

| plustax | How to install the non-free flash plugin? | 08:22 |
| Oasa | am new to ubuntu.. | 08:22 |

| faryshta | Hi. When I boot the monitor start on max bright and the sound on minimum. How can I make the system start with other settings? (max sound and minimum brightness) | 08:23 |
| fcuk112 | kazagistar: try downloading AWN 0.4 beta, you can set it to vertical and it's awesome. | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: You could use dd to 'backup' your mbr then restore it from a live cd.. but thats just 1 step away from reinstalling grub with update-grub anyway | 08:23 |
| mobi-sheep | Oasa: Tell us your problems and if we know, we'll answer it for you. | 08:23 |
| Billiard | pingun8: you could backup the mbr then restore it after installing windows, but it might be easier to just fix grub with a live cd afterward | 08:23 |
| Oasa | hello i wud liek to knw hw to use pidgin to get | 08:23 |

| kazagistar | fcuk112: I read that AWN recently got vertical working (finally) but I couldn't see it in the repository version... thanks! | 08:24 |
| Billiard | Oasa: did you add your account? | 08:24 |
| Oasa | yeah i did | 08:24 |
| amee2k__ | plustax: iirc theres a package, flashplugin-installer that you need to install | 08:24 |
| mobi-sheep | plustax: i386 or amd64? | 08:25 |
| Billiard | plustax: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:25 |
| Oasa | i cud configre | 08:25 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, Billiard, so when i do it, I install windows on the original partition, then insert live-cd, and run "update-grub", is that all i need? | 08:25 |

| TerminalError | when i try and do a update or a apt-get install. It Reading Database gets to 50% then halts. it does not even get to how many files or dir are currently installed before it freezes. I think it might be hanging on something that is not allowing it to finish | 08:25 |
| pingun8 | Billiard what else? | 08:25 |
| amee2k__ | plustax: at least for me, it requires periodic reinstallation because it likes to break itself every couple days | 08:25 |
| Oasa | Billiard: helo me | 08:25 |
| Billiard | pingun8: you need to chroot into your installation and update grub afaik | 08:25 |
| Oasa | sum1 pls help me | 08:25 |
| Billiard | Oasa: i am helping you and other people please wait more than 30 seconds for a response | 08:26 |
| pingun8 | what's "afaik"? | 08:26 |
| amee2k__ | as far as i know | 08:26 |
| Billiard | pingun8: afaik = as far as i know | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | pingun8 | 08:26 |

| TerminalError | i wonder if there is a way to purge the database or something so that it won't freeze when i try to update or install something | 08:27 |
| Billiard | Oasa: which version ubuntu are you using? | 08:27 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, sorry | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: time to check some of the wiki/grub pages. boot live, chroot in properly, run update-grub | 08:28 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, i found the "grub2".... | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | thats teh basics for 9.04 and 9.10 :) and 8.xx | 08:28 |
| Oasa | 8.04 | 08:28 |
| pingun8 | !grub2 | 08:28 |
| 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 | 08:28 |
| TerminalError | because it (Reading database ... 50% then just stops..... | 08:28 |
| Billiard | Oasa: you may need to upgrade, older versions of pidgin might not work well | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | TerminalError: theres some files in /var/apt you might want to remove.. but that can also break things. | 08:29 |
| Oasa | hw to upgrade? | 08:29 |
| Oasa | i mean apt-get den wats | 08:29 |
| Oasa | package name? | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | TerminalError: oops its /var/cache/apt :) | 08:29 |
| Billiard | Oasa: im talking about your ubuntu release | 08:30 |
| TerminalError | ah ok was like there is no /var/apt lol | 08:30 |
| kitty____ | anyone anybit familiar with software routers? | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt - nest things more | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | TerminalError: backup anything you twiddlw with in there.. just remioving things can cause issues.. I recall theres one directory that if it dosxent exist.. can cause issues.. | 08:30 |
| TerminalError | yea i was backing it up now | 08:31 |
| TerminalError | thanks for the tip | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | some days i think wee need some sort of 'check my system for issues/fix them' wizard :) | 08:31 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, thank you doctor. | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | but that may break more things then it fixed. | 08:32 |
| losha | /quit | 08:32 |
| pdg1 | can anyone help me understand FTP a little better? | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | pdg1: in what way? | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh/scp has basically replaced ftp for my needs. | 08:33 |
| Fenix-Dark | what filesystem would be appropriate for a large RAID 5? | 08:33 |
| Fenix-Dark | 6tB | 08:33 |
| amee2k__ | well, for large files over fast connections i still prefer ftp. i found scp performance to be inferior like 1:10 | 08:34 |
| Billiard | Fenix-Dark: i think ext3/4 would be fine | 08:34 |
| faryshta | How can I make my monitor to start less bright on boot? I am on Karmic. | 08:34 |
| amee2k__ | Fenix-Dark: rule of thumb is use ext3 unless you know you need something else | 08:34 |
| pdg1 | well. I'm trying to update the dash on my modded xbox (something i haven't done in a long time) and when I upload the files it renames the entire file to the full path | 08:34 |
| kitty____ | why would my access point be forwarding network traffic to my wireless nic instead of my wired one | 08:34 |
| kitty____ | anyone have any ideas? | 08:34 |
| Oasa | i can upgrade to karmic kola only 1 by 1 rite | 08:34 |
| Oasa | frm 8.04 to 8.10 and den | 08:35 |
| Oasa | so on | 08:35 |
| Fenix-Dark | amee2k__, I was thinking of ext3 | 08:35 |
| CQ | hello, I have external USB harddrives that are unmountes and spin down after a while( as they should), but then spin up again after another while ... how can I figure out what's causing the spinup? | 08:35 |
| Oasa | it will take lof of time | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Oasa: yep. one of the reasons you may want to do a clean install instead | 08:35 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, when you need to move to another commputer, and install a new distribution, is there a way to, like, backup the list of everything installed on your system? i know about synaptic pakcage list, but I would assume that is not the perfect way to get all the same packages if you go from, i.e .04->.10 | 08:35 |
| Oasa | idats y am waiting till april 2010 for d next lts version any othe way? | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | pingun8 | 08:35 |
| ubottu | pingun8: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:35 |
| Oasa | clean install... i hv to bak up n all | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Oasa: Yep.. theres pros and cons.. | 08:36 |
| Oasa | no oder way.. i mean if its a protocol prob.. cant i manually configure it? | 08:36 |
| pdg1 | ie. instead of arials.ttf in fonts folder on the E drive it looks like EFontsarials.ttf inside of the fonts folder on the E drive | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Oasa: i always keep my /home on itw own hd. so i can clean install and not lose much of anything | 08:36 |
| Oasa | but i dint | 08:36 |
| Oasa | ders no other way? | 08:36 |
| pingun8 | Dr_Willis, is it safe to replicate "all the packages" in such was, if you installed a newer distribution? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Oasa: bnackup stuiff to a external hd or somtjhing.. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: i normally go through the list and trim out a lot of the things i know i dont need. | 08:37 |
| Oasa | okay anthr doubt : i recently compiled and build chromium os.. but i cunt get the wifi work ... any idea? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | pingun8: or i make my own list with the names of the things i DO know i will want. | 08:37 |
| tsimpson | Oasa: the word is "cant" | 08:37 |
| CQ | I was going to suggest "couldn't" | 08:38 |
| airtonix | !u | Oasa | 08:38 |

| amee2k__ | pdg1: what ftp client are you using? | 08:39 |
| pdg1 | gftp right now | 08:39 |
| airtonix | pdg1, ask you question on one line, don't expect that your multi-line question will appear on other peoples screen in logical order | 08:39 |
| CQ | faryshta: look at the power options, they usually control brightness | 08:39 |
| amee2k__ | hm... never used that. what command do you use to upload the file? | 08:40 |
| faryshta | CQ, checking... | 08:40 |
| airtonix | amee2k__, gftp is a gui ftp client/ | 08:40 |
| pdg1 | haha... the upload arrow | 08:40 |
| paulmops | I'm running a dell 14z, which uses the b43xx drivers. Ubuntu seems to recognize the card, but network manager is unable to view any nearby wifi spots :( | 08:40 |
| amee2k__ | okay lol | 08:40 |
| paulmops | any help would be appreciated. | 08:40 |
| burzki | paulmops, lemme guess, you have a bcm43xx chip? | 08:40 |
| paulmops | yes :( | 08:40 |
| mobi-sheep | faryshta: Turn off dim. I think that is what you were complaining about. Also, your keyboard should have FN + (Something) that you can press to adjust brightness. | 08:40 |
| skitzo | hey guys was just wondering how i send/recieve webcam in emesene.. seems im missing something | 08:40 |
| burzki | ;-) | 08:40 |
| paulmops | I | 08:40 |
| paulmops | I | 08:41 |
| burzki | paulmops, no, you should be good | 08:41 |
| pdg1 | but is that something that happens with older FTP servers? or what could cause that? | 08:41 |
| amee2k__ | pdg1: on an xbox... so the target system is win and your local host is linux? | 08:41 |
| paulmops | ahh, is there an easy fix? | 08:41 |
| thevishy | nowdays the theme doesnt change if I change in desktop - right click properites windows | 08:41 |
| burzki | yup | 08:41 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, yes I adjust brightness with keyboard but is kind of tired do it each day. | 08:41 |
| thevishy | i need to use a Software called GTK Theme | 08:41 |
| airtonix | pdg1, is what on what on where ? | 08:41 |
| thevishy | Why is that happening ? did I screw up my setting somwhere ? | 08:41 |
| pdg1 | well I think the FTP server is based on filezilla or something liek that | 08:41 |
| airtonix | !enter | thevishy | 08:42 |
| ubottu | thevishy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:42 |
| amee2k__ | i have a strong hunch its a confusion about path separators. only sniffing the traffic would reveal whether the ftp commands are correct | 08:42 |
| burzki | paulmops, do you know the exact chipset? | 08:42 |
| mobi-sheep | faryshta: Edit under "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power" to your likings -- In Power Management. Turn off dim. See if that works for you now. | 08:42 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, what is dim? I can't find it. | 08:42 |
| amee2k__ | pdg1: last time i used FZ's ftp server, they weren't exactly the most standard conforming one around | 08:42 |
| pdg1 | files I want to upload are on my buntu box. and I'm connecting to my xbox through dvd2xbox's FTP server | 08:42 |
| djdarkman | hello, how can I get rid of the annoying your disk is gonna fail dialog? | 08:42 |
| paulmops | Burzki won kenobi, you are my only hope (or something like that). | 08:43 |
| pdg1 | this is fantastic news :P | 08:43 |
| burzki | paulmops, lol. you already knew that much .. | 08:43 |
| mobi-sheep | djdarkman: It is not annoying. It is a warning that your disk is going to fail. (You'll lose all data and whatnot if you continue to ignore it). | 08:43 |
| paulmops | 4312 | 08:43 |
| burzki | good | 08:43 |
| djdarkman | mobi-sheep: it's brand new(the harddrive) | 08:44 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, funny, it was off. | 08:44 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, what else could it be? | 08:44 |
| mobi-sheep | faryshta: Both under AC / Battery? | 08:44 |
| pdg1 | ameek2k__ should I be trying a different client? | 08:44 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, yes. | 08:44 |
| stanley_robertso | hi folks.. one small quick question.. iam new to ubuntu and want to contribute to the ubuntu dev .. would like ot know. .. if there is any way that i can contribute. One of the way is doing bug fixing. Any other ways are there ? | 08:45 |
| faryshta | mobi-sheep, I am on XFCE and there is always residual configurations from gnome, I will try to look there. | 08:45 |
| burzki | paulmops, 9.10? do you know the kernel version you have? do you have wired internet to this machine now? | 08:45 |
| mobi-sheep | djdarkman: Perhaps, install gnome-disk-utility and scan the HDD. HDD is the most instable part of the computer so you could have gotten a brand new bad hard drive. | 08:46 |
| CQ | stanley_robertso: have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community for example... a few more suggestions there | 08:46 |
| paulmops | (just in case it helps, I've already confirmed the switch for my wireless card is indeed set to "ON") :D | 08:46 |
| stanley_robertso | thanks CQ | 08:46 |
| TerminalError | so im guessing that something is causing it to hang | 08:47 |
| TerminalError | is there anyway to purge it or something? | 08:47 |
| amee2k__ | pdg1: trying can't hurt. maybe use a CLI client. the cd to e:\fonts first so you don't have any path separators on the upload command | 08:48 |
| xeviox | morning, is someone able to help me fixing the scratchbox "Inconsistency detected by ld.so" error? | 08:48 |
| * doobie is going to ask a noobish firewall question... | 08:48 | |
| burzki | paulmops, have you activated the hardware driver? | 08:48 |
| jerry__ | 有没有中国人？ | 08:49 |
| CQ | paulmops look at some of the command line wifi scanning tools... like sudo iwlist | 08:49 |
| doobie | my 'ufw' is enabled. is that all i need? i came from windows using comodo firewall... | 08:49 |
| mobi-sheep | !firewall | doobie | 08:49 |
| ubottu | doobie: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 08:49 |

| ubottu | de_amore_imah: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 08:50 |
| burzki | CQ, this is a special card. one thing at a time | 08:50 |
| * doobie thanks all for the linkys! much appreciated! : D | 08:50 | |
| pdg1 | ameek2k__ already tried that. I have no idea what's going on. Normally I'd just ask this kind of question on an Xbox chan | 08:50 |

| Dr_Willis | TerminalError: so 'sudo apg-get update' does what exactly? | 08:58 |

| paulmops_ | I believe just b/g | 08:58 |
| fhenning09 | Is ubuntu planning or already started a NAS project I know about FreeNAS but what about linux I mean ubuntu has created distro's for everything else why not that? | 08:58 |
| hiatus | Vladikoff: hm, you could try aptitude java and it will give suggestions of all packages available with java in it. Otherwise you may have to search for the package online | 08:59 |

| ubottu | Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 09:00 |
| hiatus | There's a better way but I'm pretty lazy about installing things | 09:00 |
| xeviox | he also told me to add a custom version to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but I have no idea how to do this .. | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | TerminalError: ok. so it does 'update' at least. | 09:00 |
| tonyyarusso | fhenning09: You're welcome to create a NAS-optimized derivative if you'd like, but that's not really part of the core goals of Ubuntu as a project. | 09:00 |
| Kaatje | no point in making something out of unix, freenas has been round a long time and has a lot of featrures | 09:00 |
| jasman | !sh | 09:00 |

| kubanc | CQ, sorry for not looking first on the internet .... lazy me | 09:16 |

| fhenning09 | !<life> | 09:16 |
| ardchoille | __z_z: try the wonderland theme.engine, in the repos | 09:16 |
| burzki | paulmops_, and a reboot at some point might encourage things along .. | 09:17 |
| hiatus | Unetbootin is insanely easy. I vouch for it as well | 09:17 |
| paulmops_ | ok, I'll uninstall fwcutter and see what voodoo magic a reboot brings me | 09:17 |

| Dr_Willis | __z_z: No idea. I tend to use several different tools to get new themes. gnome-art and gnome-artng are 2 must play with toys. Check the package manager for other themes is a good idea also. | 09:25 |

| aquarius | hyperstream, hm, if it's not even booting, that's interesting -- there seem to be plenty of reports of people saying "it works on my CQ61", which suggests that your problem might be model-specific. Does booting the CD get you to the "install Ubuntu/Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" menu? | 09:37 |
| hiatus | Make sure. Everything is deleted on your usb before using unetbootin and it should be fine | 09:37 |

| ubottu | isolat3dsh33p: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 09:42 |

| chakrit | airtonix: yes, i have it but i use the other zoom.... so should I switch? | 09:45 |
| airtonix | kontagious, 1. check your bios for any ps/2 / usb options that might be interferring 2. try using another usb port | 09:46 |
| kontagious | okay thanks im going to try that | 09:46 |
| airtonix | chakrit, i also use enhanced desktop zoom because it allows me to turn off anti aliasing (important for graphic design work) | 09:46 |

| airtonix | chakrit, magnifier is just superflous eye candy | 09:48 |
| CQ_ | kubanc I usually use sudo mkfs -t fat32 and let it pick the program, but that shoudl work, provided /dev/sda1 is the USB. If you're trying to get DSL on teh stick, why not just use unetbootin? It prepares it for you completely... | 09:48 |

| Ziber | !sleep | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | stevecam: so this is on the grub/boot menu of the live cd you are atalking about? | 10:08 |
| grubster | is there a way to make grub rewrite the part table? | 10:08 |
| grubster | to fix it | 10:08 |

| ubottu | grubster: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 10:09 |

| pdg1 | i got it to work :D basically I used FTP and uploaded 4 files at a time. It took forever but it's done | 10:10 |
| grubster | ubottu: the probllem is i cannot access the web | 10:10 |
| grubster | burzki: | 10:10 |
| grubster | i booted from the ubuntu live cd and set up my wlan and it works. i can ping google. but i always get an error in konqueror "could not connect to host" | 10:10 |
| grubster | also when i try the ip | 10:11 |
| muse | can I get transmission to run on a headless server with a web interface instead of a client gui? or run it off the server and have all my computers access is through a remote client gui? | 10:11 |
| grubster | "Could not connect to host http://74.125.43.103/." | 10:11 |
| grubster | cna u help me burzki | 10:11 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: I don't see why you can't. | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | muse: one way. run it in/on a vnc desktop/server session.. however. there are MANY othe torrent clients you may perfer. | 10:11 |
| BlouBlou | grubster: this IP is from Google, right? | 10:12 |
| muse | Dr_Willis: ya like? I was going to try rtorrent and just configure how I want it to work | 10:12 |
| aaron11 | I want to know why the fade in effect of the pannels on booting is not working unless I reboot. I realy am a looker than of a preformancer | 10:12 |
| grubster | BlouBlou: exactly | 10:12 |
| grubster | whta i got from ping | 10:13 |
| burzki | grubster, not sure the problem .. | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | muse: ive heard rtorrent is good.. | 10:13 |
| grubster | since i thought it mihgt be a dns issue | 10:13 |
| grubster | but isnt | 10:13 |
| grubster | do you know a command that makes grub repair the part table? | 10:13 |
| Subby | Hi I inserted an usb stick, and it wasn't recognized, but now I have a folder in /media that I am not able to delete | 10:13 |
| grubster | or any other tool | 10:13 |
| muse | Dr_Willis: you have other recommendations? | 10:13 |
| grubster | my partition table is broken | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | muse: i tend to just use ktorrent. or wine utorrent.exe | 10:14 |
| Yancho_ | guys u know of any torrent software which starts downloading at a prescheduled time please? i tried the torrent cli and put it in a cron job but not working at all | 10:14 |
| aaron11 | Subby: Do sudo unmount /media | 10:14 |
| aaron11 | Subby: /media <Device name> | 10:14 |
| === DLange_ is now known as DLange | ||
| Dr_Willis | Yancho_: many torrent clients have schedueling features | 10:14 |
| aaron11 | Is that a problem that everyone has? | 10:14 |
| muse | ya I have a clarkconnect firewall that just refuses to port forward so I thought I should just install a client on the server that all the users on the network could use | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !torrents | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 10:15 |

| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. not the factoid i wanted.. :) | 10:15 |
| grubster | i don't understand why konqueror doesn't work | 10:15 |
| Yancho_ | Dr_Willis, i use transmission ..its a bit scruffy | 10:15 |
| muse | but then I wasn't sure what interface I was going to use | 10:15 |
| Diverdude | My ubuntu is now working very well, and i have installed all that I need, and I have used it for a while. However, when I can compare it to my vista installation, which is running on the same computer(I have dual boot) I find that ubuntu has an overall larger latency when i use the graphical interface. For example when I am scrolling on a webpage, or when I start up a new program or similar. What could be the cause for this lack in response- | 10:15 |
| Diverdude | speed? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Yancho_: its very basic by design. | 10:15 |
| Subby | umount: /media/ALEX is not mounted (i transalted it from german) | 10:15 |
| grubster | maybe i will ask in #linux | 10:15 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: Transmission! :3 | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: gparted may be able to fix partition tables | 10:16 |
| aaron11 | !german | Subby | 10:16 |
| ubottu | Subby: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 10:16 |
| Subby | aaron11: i'm able to speak english... | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Subby: so 'sudo rmdir /media/ALEX' If you really want to remiove it | 10:16 |
| aaron11 | Subby: Ok | 10:16 |
| aaron11 | I want to know why the fade in effect of the pannels on booting is not working unless I reboot. I realy am a looker than of a preformancer | 10:16 |
| aaron11 | Is that a problem that everyone has? | 10:17 |
| muse | mobi-sheep: are you just chanting.. or can you get transmission to remotely access a bit-torrent client running on another computer? | 10:17 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: you think so? sounds good | 10:17 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: are you sure? | 10:17 |
| Diverdude | anyone? | 10:17 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: With transmisson-daemon, you can. | 10:17 |
| Subby | Dr_Willis: that worked, I wonder why rm -rf did not work, it but an "I/O error" and ls -l put an "?" everywhere where normally the filesize and date and attributes are | 10:17 |
| Subby | put* | 10:18 |
| grubster | aaron11: could i edit the german factoid, it is too formal and contains an error | 10:18 |
| muse | mobi-sheep: you have actually got it working?! | 10:18 |
| aaron11 | grubster: Go to #ubuntu-ops | 10:19 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: To access the WebUI, go to http://<ip-address>:9091 -- That is all. | 10:19 |
| grubster | actually i just want my partition table repaired | 10:19 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: Of course. I do. I support Transmission. :) | 10:19 |
| muse | heh ok cool | 10:19 |
| muse | Ill try it | 10:19 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: there is an "make new partition table" option in qtparted | 10:20 |

| aaron11 | alabd: Do sudo apt-get install googleearth | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: sounds like the hd has some... issues. | 10:23 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: why? | 10:23 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: it's the default warning | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: if the partition table gets 'lost/damaged' the os dosent know how the drive is aprtioned. | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: a totally new drive that has never been partioned. will not have a partition table. | 10:24 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: but gparted shows my partition correctly | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: thats.. weird. | 10:24 |
| grubster | wtf | 10:24 |
| grubster | i just want my partition back | 10:24 |
| grubster | to boot from it | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: what makes you think the thing needs a fixed partition table? grub shows the partition? but the os dosent? | 10:24 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: i cannot boot anymore | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: so the whole issue that manes you THINK the partition table is bad - is that it dosent boot? | 10:25 |
| muse | mobi-sheep: thanks.. quick question; how do I get transmission-daemon started up on the server? | 10:25 |
| grubster | i had grub installed, then deleted some parititions and resized the remaining one because i needed more space | 10:25 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: im not sure what the problem is, i cannot boot | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: delet/resizeing aprtitions can change the UUID of the partitions. | 10:25 |
| grubster | i might err | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: so starting from the beginning.. what OS is on this drive? | 10:25 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: i had two bootable partitions in the grub menu | 10:26 |
| grubster | i removed one | 10:26 |
| grubster | now i get an error | 10:26 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: ntfs xp | 10:26 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: i had xp and ubuntu installed. then i needed new space for xp, so i deleted the ubuntu partition and its swap | 10:26 |
| grubster | then i resized the ntfs | 10:26 |
| grubster | now its bigger, but grub shows a problem | 10:27 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: If I remember it correctly, it is already set for startup. You need to edit /etc/transmission (and) /etc/default/transmission for folder/config folder/user. From what I hear, Debian/Ubuntu like to have daemons running with their own usernames. | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: if you deleted ubuntu. How is grub even working at all? | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: so this is a windows only system now? | 10:27 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: i assume it is installed in the partition table | 10:27 |
| grubster | Dr_Willis: exactly | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | grubster: then you need to use windows to install the windows bootloader. to remove grub totally. | 10:27 |
| grubster | ah | 10:27 |
| grubster | i will ask in #windows | 10:28 |
| grubster | thanks | 10:28 |
| mobi-sheep | muse: Also, you can start/stop service by using "sudo service transmission-daemon start" | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to start from the beginning. :) | 10:28 |
| aaron11 | alabd: Do sudo apt-get install googleearth | 10:28 |

| syrius | wtf is up with that | 10:44 |
| bigbrovar | anyone has an idea what this package is suppose to do? http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/pymaemo-optify/ | 10:44 |
| pickett | virtualbox>qemu | 10:44 |
| syrius | no way | 10:44 |
| syrius | qemu is better | 10:44 |
| syrius | virtualbox sucks | 10:44 |
| FloodBot4 | syrius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:45 |
| * mobi-sheep <3 biased channels. | 10:45 | |
| syrius | virtualbox is based off of qemu pickett | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | My C64 is best. | 10:45 |
| pickett | i know | 10:45 |
| syrius | qemu allows you to do full screen | 10:45 |
| bigbrovar | little discription does it move all installation files to /opt? cus i tot this is standard for maemo applications anyway | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | actually isent that kquem feature not under the gpl? i recall somthing about that ages ago. | 10:46 |
| syrius | virtualbox is lame it gives you a tiny screen when in full screen mode | 10:46 |
| syrius | no | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | syrius: odd.. it dosxent do that here. | 10:46 |
| pickett | here either | 10:46 |
| pickett | install additions | 10:46 |
| syrius | Dr_Willis kqemu has been under the lgpl for quite some time now | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | go try them all out.. use what you want. I will stick with virtualbox | 10:46 |
| bigbrovar | syrius: does qemu support usb mode? and vbox can support seamless mode which would integrate the guest machine into your desktop | 10:47 |
| syrius | yes qemu supports all that vbox does | 10:47 |
| h4f | bigbrovar: what you mean support usb mode ? run from usb ? than yes | 10:47 |
| syrius | qemu has to be compiled with the support for kqemu Dr_Willis pickett | 10:48 |
| syrius | there is not option in qemu for kqemu which means it wasn't compiled with support | 10:48 |
| pickett | can you compile it? | 10:48 |
| syrius | it is pointless to even have kqemu in the repo if there is no use for it | 10:48 |
| wgrant | Why not use KVM rather than kqemu? | 10:48 |
| syrius | compiling is not recommended | 10:49 |
| wgrant | syrius: I believe kqemu support may have been dropped in the big KVM reshuffle in Karmic. | 10:49 |
| bigbrovar | h4f: i mean the ability to plug a usb device in the host machine and its detected in the guest VM | 10:49 |
| wgrant | syrius: Because you should be using KVM now. | 10:49 |
| syrius | kvm as far as I know is just making the os seem like it is within your guest os | 10:49 |
| syrius | that is ridicolous wgrant | 10:49 |
| wgrant | syrius: KVM serves the same purpose as kqemu, except that it needs hardware support. | 10:49 |
| syrius | not all cpus support that | 10:49 |
| syrius | my cpu doesn't support that | 10:50 |
| wgrant | But most recent ones do. | 10:50 |
| cwemooot | hyyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 10:50 |
| syrius | mine is from 2005 and it doesn't support that | 10:50 |
| h4f | bigbrovar: I always had this problem. it's much easier for me to setup shared folder | 10:50 |
| wgrant | And most x86 desktop virtualisation needs are fulfilled by VirtualBox. | 10:50 |
| wgrant | Or other virtualisation platforms. | 10:50 |

| wgrant | No, it's not optimal. But it's not a huge loss. | 10:50 |
| syrius | quite talking about virtualbox | 10:51 |
| syrius | it sucks | 10:51 |
| wgrant | Why? | 10:51 |
| wgrant | Why? | 10:51 |
| syrius | because it is | 10:51 |
| bigbrovar | h4f: well shared cant help when i want to use pcsuit with my N900 .. works fine on kubuntu 9.10 | 10:51 |
| wgrant | That's not a very good reason. | 10:51 |
| syrius | it doesn't allow you to go into full screen like qemu | 10:51 |
| Remushb | hi all, my first time here, is it appropriate to ask ubuntu advice here ? | 10:51 |
| elky | syrius, i'm sure the virtualbox people would love to hear how they can improve their product. | 10:51 |
| wgrant | syrius: Yes, it does. | 10:51 |
| syrius | they can't | 10:51 |
| syrius | it gives you a tiny screen with black around it dipshit wgrant | 10:52 |
| h4f | bigbrovar: in vitrualbox there is even a menu for usbdevices. but never get any think working there when plug pendrive. | 10:52 |

| zoobox | hi! someone who knows about any smart backup-program? I would love to make a complete bakup of my ubuntu-partition (and allso the windows NTFS-partition if possible) on 10-15 dvd-disks or so, in a way that I can use the DVDs directly in the filemanager to read individual files on the dvd-disks, but allso use them to restore exact copies of the partitions (so where each file is on the partition and ext3/ntfs-partitiondata etc should be saved on th | 11:11 |
| aaron11 | zoobox: Use Ubuntu One. Its better | 11:11 |
| mobi-sheep | aaron11: Up to 2GB... | 11:12 |
| zoobox | aaron11: ubuntu one? what is that? | 11:12 |
| aaron11 | mobi-sheep: He has to only pay a little to get 50 gb | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | aaron11, ubuntu one for a partition backup ? that doesn't look reasonable :) | 11:12 |
| aaron11 | zoobox: Its your personal cloud | 11:12 |
| iceroot | !one | zoobox | 11:12 |
| ubottu | zoobox: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | partition backups and still accessing all the files... well.. may be best to get some external usb hard drives ..... | 11:13 |
| joaopinto | right, you just need to upload 50 GB ! | 11:13 |
| zoobox | aha... it is that backup over net? nah it would be imposssible here. out bandwidth-out is way too slow. would take weeks to push up. | 11:13 |
| mobi-sheep | zoobox: If your bandwidth is slow, take Dr_Willis's advice. | 11:13 |
| zoobox | besides, I would love to have it at dvd-disks, despite it will be a bunch :-) | 11:13 |
| joaopinto | an usb device would be a better option | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive found archiveing stuff to dvd disks not super relieabel either. | 11:14 |
| zoobox | Dr_Willis: aha.. yeah I guess I shold by a usb-harddisk.. hmm..... | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | there is a tool called 'fsarchiver' (i think) not in the repos yet. that can do some neat tricks | 11:14 |
| iceroot | zoobox: usb harddisk and using rsync with hardlinks is a good way for daily fast backups | 11:14 |

| Dr_Willis | aaron11 try useing the tightvnc 'viewer' application instad of the terminal server client. | 11:15 |
| zoobox | Dr_Willis: I'll go look at fsarchiver then | 11:15 |
| iceroot | aaron11: ah sorry dindt read than you can access it, so forget about nmap | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page | 11:16 |
| kubanc | how can i see on wich davice was my cd-rom mounted? | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a file-system to a compressed archive file. The file-system can be restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be restored on a different file-system. | 11:16 |

| syrius | just compile and run from the folder rather than install it | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | FSArchiver is working at the file level. It can make an archive of any file-system (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, ntfs, ...) that the running kernel can mount with a read-write support. | 11:17 |

| zoobox | iceroot: this is not the dayly backup thing, but more a one-time bakup tou use if everything goes boom. a harddisk/parttion-bakup so I can use everything to how it is today. The good thing with dvd's is that they are "write-protected" so to speak.... a usb-harddisk is really easy to to delete all files on. | 11:18 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: How do I | 11:18 |

| Dr_Willis | aaron11: care to complete that sentance? | 11:19 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: How do I access the tightvnc viewer | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron11: install it and run it via the command line is one way | 11:19 |
| mobi-sheep | zoobox: I suppose you want dd for low-level byte-for-byte stuffs, but to split the file up, you'd have to figure out a good way to do it. | 11:19 |
| Bear10 | Can you run sudo apt-get and things like that to install packages from the live boot? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | xtightvncviewer - virtual network computing client software for X | 11:20 |

| Bear10 | Dr_Willis, okay thanks | 11:21 |
| zoobox | Dr_Willis: btw about (un)relieabel dvd-disk I read the other day of a program that can do an extra dvd of multiple dvds to use to use as error-correction in case one of the dvd's go bad.. I guess I should make one | 11:21 |

| subsam | is there any answar ? | 11:46 |
| diplo | Bear10, loads of tutorials on the web to crack a wep key | 11:46 |
| oCean_ | Bear10: I see. reset-to-factory-defaults and a utp cable should solve the issue. | 11:46 |
| diplo | all the packages you need to install etc | 11:46 |
| Callum_ | its so old it has a supported modem in it ^_^ | 11:46 |
| BigBoy | how can i unmute alsamixer channel | 11:46 |

| kubanc | Callum_, but i need tutorial on how to install DSl linux on disk, or at least i need a irc channel to talk to experts on DSL linux | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: such info would proberly gotten from teh DSL homepage. DSL is not as popular as it once used to be. | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | i seem to recall the DSL live cd having a 'install' option at boot up. but that was ages ago | 11:48 |
| BigBoy | how can i unmute alsamixer channel. the m key not working | 11:48 |
| Callum_ | I don't have Damn Small Linux on me nor have I tried it in a while | 11:48 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, is it possible if i install fluxbox on ubuntu, they will work faster? | 11:49 |
| Callum_ | kubanc: yes | 11:49 |
| epinky | BigBoy: are you using Gnome? | 11:49 |
| Callum_ | you have to use it as your window manager though | 11:49 |
| === amee2k__ is now known as amee2k | ||
| BigBoy | epinky: yes | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: depends on what you do.. its trivial to install fluxbox.. now getting it to do all you want is theharder part. | 11:50 |
| Callum_ | which you can set (once its installed) in GDM... | 11:50 |
| epinky | BigBoy: "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" , then call it with "gnome-alsamixer" | 11:50 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:53 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, yes, but i have no other choice, because i have an old comp, i need to have 2 printers connected to, and i need to have remote desktop enabled, and even with xfce4 it's working slow, so the only thing i see here, is to install or, faster dsitro, or faster display manager | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | subsam: install/use the pastebinit command is one VERY good way | 11:53 |
| Callum_ | LOL subsam | 11:53 |
| Callum_ | sorry, I just had to laugh | 11:53 |
| subsam | what ? | 11:53 |
| subsam | is this a problem ? | 11:53 |
| Callum_ | no, I just thought you thinking the bot was human was funny, sorry ;) | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: use fluxbox or flvwm then. It will put less load on the machine. | 11:54 |
| epinky | subsam: load "pastebin.com" then paste there your results and post here the link for us to check | 11:54 |

| Callum_ | I'm having one of those nights | 11:54 |
| subsam | epinky ok i will try | 11:55 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, is the support on irc channels as good as for gnome, or XFCE, because i'm rooky at linux stuff, and i need lots of help | 11:56 |
| cweagans | alright, I've got an interesting problem here: I'm running Kubuntu 9.10. It boots to a graphical login screen, I enter my credentials and the normal KDE loading thing appears. Next, the screen fades to black and a KDE wallet authorization thing displays. I enter my password to unlock the wallet for this session. The wallet screen goes away and I'm left with a black screen and a mouse cursor. That's it. I can Alt+F2 to run commands and such | 11:56 |
| cweagans | I'd really like my desktop back. How do I fix this? | 11:56 |
| subsam | epinky http://pastebin.com/m20b9a0cd | 11:57 |
| ardchoille | cweagans: you'd probably get better advice in #kubuntu | 11:58 |
| bgjsl | hi | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: theres learning 'xfce' then theres learning actual 'linux' | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: playing with xfce should teach you most of how to use xfce. | 11:58 |
| bgjsl | back again | 11:58 |
| cweagans | ardchoille: thanks :) | 11:58 |
| epinky | subsam: look at line 9, that's your VGA adapter: "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" | 11:58 |
| subsam | epinky oh , excuseme | 11:59 |
| subsam | epinky what doed it mean ? | 11:59 |
| epinky | subsam: I think it's an integrated Video Card from Intel and it's Mobile 4 series :) | 12:00 |
| unimatrix | Can we do this in Nautilus? http://www.benkevan.com/blog/kde-4-dolphin-terminal-integration/ | 12:00 |
| subsam | ok now where i go to hard ware it not apper | 12:01 |
| subsam | why ? | 12:01 |
| Dr_Willis | unimatrix: not that ive noticed. There are hacks to do 2 pane file manager views in nautilus | 12:02 |
| subsam | epinky why it not apper in hardware drivers ? | 12:02 |
| epinky | subsam: I think it's just a standard VGA, it should be listed as Generic or something like that, in the other hand lspci is very eloquent | 12:02 |
| subsam | epinky ok now i want to setup the viga ? | 12:03 |
| subsam | epinky how ? | 12:03 |
| epinky | subsam: go to Administration-> Preferences-> Display | 12:03 |
| cweagans | what program creates the KDE UI? plasma- something? | 12:05 |
| subsam | epinky then what ?. | 12:05 |
| epinky | subsam: then set there your preferences | 12:05 |
| kubanc | is there any command to logout from display manager from console ? | 12:06 |
| subsam | epinky ok but where the advanced option ? | 12:06 |
| FireCrotch | cweagans: plasma-desktop | 12:07 |
| subsam | epinky i want to set up the viga to work the advanced option | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: you mean shut down/reboot the machine? or you could just restart the gdm service to forca anyone logged into X to exit. | 12:07 |
| cweagans | FireCrotch: does it require any arguments? | 12:07 |
| === ari_stress is now known as pendekar_sadis | ||

| subsam | epinky can i use the compiz or not ? | 12:09 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, i installed fvwm but it's now working, i can only see mouse and black background, so i wanna go back to login manager to go into xfce window manager | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: there should be some menus on the right/left mouse buttons. | 12:09 |
| FireCrotch | cweagans: well let's see if we can't fix that... can you pastebin the error message? | 12:10 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, yes, there are | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: notice one that says exit or logout? | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: and thats basically how flvwm works... its about as minimal as a window manager gets | 12:10 |
| cweagans | FireCrotch: sure, but should we maybe jump over to #kubuntu? | 12:10 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, i always thought they are only on right mouse button and i didn't tryed left button, yes and there is exit fvwm | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: you are thinking in windows/gnome/xfce terms. :) | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: some even put menus/items on the middle mouse button | 12:11 |

| Emme_NK | Hi! What is the best practice to create a custom Ubuntu installation CD? | 12:13 |
| Emme_NK | with other packages etc. | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: run the command 'gnome-panel' but You are basicially going to start using as much resources as gnome is.. if you start up enough gnome apps... | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: or learn to live without the panel. | 12:14 |
| kubanc | no, i only need gnome-panel, bacause i got used to it ... | 12:14 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, yes, that's a possible way ... | 12:14 |
| klumpen | Is there a problem with NFS in karmic? It worked perfect in jaunty, but after upgrade it stopped working | 12:14 |

| PoldiBonn | Hi is someone here who can help me with a "booting-Problem" with ubuntu 9.10 | 12:14 |
| FireCrotch | Emme_NK: There's a program called remastersys that you can use | 12:14 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: any useful errors found? | 12:14 |
| Emme_NK | FireCrotch thanks, I'll google it up | 12:15 |
| klumpen | refused mount request from 127.0.0.1 | 12:15 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: firewall blocking ports? | 12:15 |
| klumpen | unmatched host | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: if you run a program to handle the desktop/icons yes.. but you are basically building your own 'desktop' from scratch. Use the command line and menu items. why do you need icons. | 12:15 |
| klumpen | nop | 12:15 |
| klumpen | can see errormessage in syslog | 12:15 |
| klumpen | so it makes the connection | 12:15 |

| kubanc | ardchoille, Dr_Willis so what do you suggest if my brother want's to print something, and i wan't to have it very simple | 12:16 |
| Emme_NK | syrius: Pulseaudio is the sound mixing service | 12:17 |
| epinky | !elaborate | PoldiBonn | 12:17 |
| ubottu | PoldiBonn: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 12:17 |
| klumpen | allow: ALL : 127.0.0.1 | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | PoldiBonn: tell the channel details on the whold problem and see who answers | 12:17 |
| Emme_NK | syrius: it allows multiple programs to use the sound card simultaneously | 12:17 |
| syrius | is it safe to remove Emme_NK? | 12:17 |
| klumpen | nothing in hosts.deny config | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: im not sure of what you are really trying to do. The window manager has very little to do with printing. | 12:17 |
| klumpen | clean file | 12:17 |
| Emme_NK | AFAIK only until jaunty. In karmic, it is no longer safe to remove | 12:17 |
| Emme_NK | too many programs depend on it | 12:17 |
| syrius | I see | 12:17 |
| syrius | it says that ekiga doesn't work well with it | 12:18 |
| Darkchylde | Emme_NK: i removed it fine in karmic, but that was on an upgrade, not sure about a clean install. | 12:18 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing | 12:18 |
| syrius | ekiga also told me that the devs of pulse audio don't agree with what ubuntu uses it fore | 12:18 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing | 12:18 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: I tried installing UltraVNC on Windows vista home premium but nothing is happening but the same thing | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron11: wow, wow, wow... | 12:18 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, yes i know, but let's say i wanna have firefox, some text editor to find very simple. other users ho will be on this computer won't know that the left click on mouse will get them to the menu | 12:18 |
| aaron11 | yea | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron11: can the vnc client connect to the local vncserver on teh same box... | 12:18 |
| Emme_NK | hmm, I don't use ekiga myself, so I cannot comment on that | 12:19 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: what nfs server is installed? the nfs-kernel-server? | 12:19 |
| klumpen | oCean_: jep | 12:19 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: Please wait. I didnot try on windows | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron11: run the ultravncviewer and try to connect to 127.0.0.1 | 12:19 |
| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: Please wait. I didnot try on uvnc | 12:19 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: i'm on fresh 9.10 install with nfs-kernel-server and no problems for localhost | 12:19 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: guess it is something outside nfs config | 12:20 |
| klumpen | this is a upgraded version, and it worked before i upgraded | 12:20 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: ran exportfs -a ? | 12:20 |
| klumpen | jep | 12:20 |
| klumpen | and checked portmap | 12:20 |
| klumpen | it should be correct | 12:20 |

| aaron11 | Dr_Willis: In the options on the server I put a good long password. But in the viewer I only can put less charecters | 12:21 |
| calamity | Any clues as to how this is done? | 12:22 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: I'm not sure what exactly gives the "unmatched host" | 12:22 |
| aaron11 | calamity: ssh or ntfs | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron11: dont use a long password. Some clients can only handle 8 characters | 12:22 |
| aaron11 | calamity: Or samba | 12:22 |
| epinky | PoldiBonn: https://launchpad.net/bugs/358654 | 12:23 |
| calamity | aaron11: both of those require an existing connection | 12:23 |
| calamity | which we do not habe | 12:23 |
| klumpen | oCean_: since it mountd that gives the errormessage i guess it think that the host do not match in te export config | 12:23 |

| Dr_Willis | whitecloud: for some quick file transfers it may be easier to install the ssh server, and use winscp. | 12:27 |
| klumpen | oCean_: no error with that name, and yes, i can ping localhost by name | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | whitecloud: if you want to use samba. Install teh samba service/pacakge edit /etc/samba/smb.cfg to set the proper workgroup. give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a' and you should be able to connect. | 12:28 |

| shai | I'm right clicking a directory (my home dir) to try and share it, but I'm missing the Share this... (or whatever is suppose to be there). Can someone tell me what I might have removed that removed this from that context menu? | 12:39 |
| Nero-Wolf | tom967: Looks as though your fstab is configured correctly... although I'm not 100% sure on the syntax. | 12:39 |
| tom967 | >Nero-Wolf: I commented the line with sdb | 12:39 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, my Compaq Persario CQ61-314TU is almost exactly the same as this poster, with the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313857 | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: try 'sudo apt-get install samba' for starters. also try shareing somtning OTHER then your home dir. make a Shared directory | 12:40 |
| tom967 | and i try to mount it with fuse because it hang the bootup process on startup using /etc/fstab | 12:40 |
| Callum_ | shai: don' | 12:40 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, ill pm you the Question when i entered | 12:40 |
| Callum_ | ... | 12:40 |
| epinky | hyperstream: oh yeah, I forget it was an intel , envy won't do it | 12:40 |
| Callum_ | shai: don't try to share your home directory with write permissions, it will cause issues | 12:40 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, I already have samba freshly installed ... | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: then try the other suggestion. | 12:41 |
| shai | Callum_, I can't, even if I try... | 12:41 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, but the steps ive taken are identical to that post, i came here are running out of idea's | 12:41 |
| apocalypt | tom967: u can mount it with ntfs through fstab | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: if you want access to your home. you can edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to share the users Homes in a safer fashion | 12:41 |
| xover | hyperstream: what is your issue? | 12:41 |
| hyperstream | err, ok ill repost it here | 12:41 |
| Callum_ | shai: I'm pretty sure its a nautilus addon thats supposed to be installed by default anyway | 12:41 |
| === moymoy2 is now known as moymoy | ||
| Dr_Willis | Callum_: thats what i was thinking also. | 12:42 |
| hyperstream | xover, Anyone had this issue: ive just tried the alternative cd to install ubuntu, but i get a black screen as soon as it loads the video driver i think(Compaq Presario CQ61 Laptop), same happeneds on live cd have tried taking quite and splash off to see if i can see what it is, its in the phase one of loading(flood of text) then as if monitor is turning off then on, and its a solid black screen, it seems to load at least to gnome, i installed via a | 12:42 |
| hyperstream | lt iso image, and went fine, upon booting black screen. | 12:42 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: its an ext4 drive, why the hell use NTFS? | 12:42 |
| === jose is now known as ProUbuntu | ||
| apocalypt | tom967: if it's ext4 u can use it too in fstab | 12:42 |
| scunizi | hyperstream: will it boot in safe graphics mode? | 12:42 |
| hyperstream | xover, my Compaq Persario CQ61-314TU is almost exactly the same as this poster, with the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313857 <-- ive done all these steps, the safe graphics mode gives me a black screen also | 12:42 |
| apocalypt | tom967: which one hd is it | 12:42 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, nope :( | 12:42 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, I'm just looking for a "simple gui solution" ... also, tried other options (created a 'shared' dir inside my home) and that didn't work... | 12:42 |
| klumpen | oCean_: great tip, and yes, it tries to connect | 12:43 |
| Callum_ | shai: try installing the 'nautilus-share' package | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: i got 'shareing options' here in my menus... | 12:43 |
| scunizi | hyperstream so at this time you're just trying to get the live cd to boot right? | 12:43 |
| xover | hyperstream: break out single user mode, then apt-get your way to victory with the supported graphics driver. | 12:43 |
| ViPER^- | Anyone know how to get proftpd to allow fxp? | 12:43 |
| hyperstream | xover, thats single ro ? as in safe mode ? | 12:43 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, I had that too... before I installed then removed samba samba-common with --purge | 12:43 |
| ttwhy | hyperstream, i didn't read the post, but my compaq didnt worked with the new ubuntu version too, the -> noapic boot parameter helped me and then i just updated to a newer kernel version | 12:44 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: it's sdb boot hangups when using /etc/fstab. So to get my desktop I mount it in FUSE... But in each case it can mount 1 time on 3 or 4. | 12:44 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, i have installed the alternative, and wubi, gives me a black screen upon rebooting, and selecting to boot into ubuntu | 12:44 |
| xover | just edit and add 'single' not RO, you need to write to the kernel. | 12:44 |
| Callum_ | shai: try installing the 'nautilus-share' package | 12:44 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: so, you should be seeing something like "IP localhost.nfs > localhost.3187409403: reply ok" | 12:44 |
| Nayballs | Hey, if anyone is familiar with WoW addon lib errors, could they please check out this screenshot of the error and give me a shout if they can find anything i've tried can't seem to find a fix. any help is appreciated. http://i49.tinypic.com/ndokfp.jpg | 12:44 |
| hyperstream | ttwhy, yes i had a similar issue with my fathers old laptop, ive too tried disabling them in groups and in single's with no luck | 12:44 |
| maria | hello, everytime i open evolution it asks for keyring password... how do i stop it from asking this? | 12:44 |
| shai | Callum_, trying that now | 12:44 |
| apocalypt | tom967: where u want mount sdb? in /mnt or /media? | 12:44 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: I mount it in /media | 12:45 |
| scunizi | xover: that's probably still a little vague for hyperstream .. can you be more specific for him? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | maria: set it to not use a password.. let me find this video i made | 12:45 |
| klumpen | oCean_: yes, a lot of entrys | 12:45 |
| ttwhy | hyperstream, so you pressed E on grubs startmenu and added the noapic option there? and still the same issues? (what would be a -> than iam out ;) ) | 12:45 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: I only have the problem in Karmic. Should I fill a bug report? | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | maria: see http://drop.io/dr_willis under Movie for how to set the password | 12:46 |
| gigglefight | please help. I need to know how to install xAutoClick. | 12:46 |
| hyperstream | ttwhy, yes thats correct | 12:46 |
| ttwhy | hmm sry, than iam out ;) | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xautoclick | 12:46 |
| ubottu | Package xautoclick does not exist in karmic | 12:46 |
| apocalypt | tom967: make a folder sdb in /media | 12:46 |

| gigglefight | are there other options? | 12:47 |
| apocalypt | tom967: than in fstab: /dev/sdb /media/sdb ext4 defaults 0 0 | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: stop watching THOSE kind of videos.. :P | 12:47 |
| hyperstream | i cant find any help or anything on the web | 12:47 |
| thevishy | dude , these are good videos ok | 12:47 |
| gigglefight | In search to automate my mouse. any help? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: flash is good at maxing out your cpu on some suystems. sadly. | 12:47 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: ok will try this once again (but it screwed up my system last time) | 12:47 |
| thevishy | oh no - but in windows it doesnt heat up this much u know | 12:48 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: thanks for advice | 12:48 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: to filter NFS only: "tcpdump -i lo port 2049" (when using loopback=lo) - still if the incoming requests are translated as coming from "localhost", then that entry in exports should be correct, and not render "unmatched host" | 12:48 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, Ok, so I have it now and shared that 'shared' dir. I want.. but my Windows box won't connect to it (I do have SSH to the box, so I do have connectivity in that way)... is this not suppose to work "out of the box" after I shared a dir? | 12:48 |
| apocalypt | tom967: all other entries of sdb delete if there isn't another partition on sdb | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: because the flash player is tested better in windows/beter compat with video drivers and so forth. monitor your cpu load. | 12:48 |
| thevishy | okay | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: you checked all the check boxs for the shre to allow full acceess? | 12:48 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, indeed | 12:49 |
| vladinho | hello everyone i've got a question... i just installed the facebook-chat plugin for Pidgin (using ubuntu 9.10) .. and i would like to know if there is a way to somehow disable the chat on the website, but still be online with pidgin? (it's really annoying to get double msg's on both ends) | 12:49 |
| Nayballs | Anyone here familiar with WoW lib errors?. Could use a hand the error that I have it's too big to post on here ;x | 12:49 |
| Fujk | what ubuntu should I get with 8 gb of ram | 12:49 |
| thevishy | once I load the flash the laptop just steams | 12:49 |
| vladinho | the only way i figured out is to have the browser shut sown | 12:49 |
| Fujk | 64-bit | 12:49 |
| hyperstream | scunizi, think xover is afk, what did he mean mate? | 12:49 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: OK see you in a minute or 10 :) | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: so does the windows box even see the remote machine at all? | 12:49 |
| thevishy | Fujk , 64 bit ubuntu is available | 12:49 |
| thevishy | !64 bit | 12:49 |
| gigglefight | does anyone know how to install a .tar? | 12:49 |
| apocalypt | ok tom967 :) | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: You may need to set the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 12:49 |
| vladinho | gigglefight: .tar is an archive...like .zip, .rar | 12:50 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, Like I said, I do have SSH to it (both have the same IP subnet, both on the same LAN) | 12:50 |
| jrib | gigglefight: you avoid it. What are you installing exactly? | 12:50 |
| grawity | gigglefight: Extract it, then look for a file named "README" or "INSTALL" in its contents. | 12:50 |
| Fujk | thevishy: but doe sit support 8 gb of ram | 12:50 |
| vladinho | gigglefight: you have to extract it | 12:50 |
| sHyLoCk_ | hi, can anyone tell me , is pulse audio used in karmic instead of alsa? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: does the windows machine see the linux machine in its network neightborhood stuff? | 12:50 |
| gigglefight | autoclick | 12:50 |
| gigglefight | xautoclick | 12:50 |
| gigglefight | I did read it. | 12:50 |
| scunizi | hyperstream: single user mode.. I've heard of it but don't know how to get into it.. perhaps booting to the rescue kernel and then dropping to the cli.. someone else will have to guide you on this one. sorry | 12:50 |
| vladinho | hello everyone i've got a question... i just installed the facebook-chat plugin for Pidgin (using ubuntu 9.10) .. and i would like to know if there is a way to somehow disable the chat on the website, but still be online with pidgin? (it's really annoying to get double msg's on both ends) getting msgs in pidgin and firefox :/ ... anyone??? | 12:50 |
| airtonix | gigasoft, there are packages in the repo to automate you input devices | 12:50 |
| thevishy | you have server edition ubunbtu , it should be supporting 8 GB though - usual ones | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: and does the linux box see its own shares in places -> network ? | 12:51 |
| airtonix | gigglefight, there are packages in the repo to automate you input devices | 12:51 |
| thevishy | why do u have so much GB in first place ? :) | 12:51 |
| airtonix | thevishy, who ? | 12:51 |
| gigglefight | please name a few. | 12:51 |
| Fujk | thevishy: the last time I bought a computer I selected 1 gb, this was 1 year ago, and the store guy asked me why. Today it is not enough as I predicted. :D 8 gb should last me a while. | 12:51 |
| airtonix | gigglefight, 1) open synaptics 2) type in the search field : automate | 12:52 |

| Fujk | Callum_: I am going to run virtualbox and stuff. so its good to have a lot. | 12:53 |
| cotueur | Hi, I search the french channel... | 12:53 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, The Linux box sees its own shares. | 12:53 |

| gigglefight | I'm looking through the repo. | 12:53 |

| Callum_ | speaking of my server, I need to check if that huge copying operation has completed... | 12:54 |
| thevishy | Dr_Willis, cpu goes to 50% invariably - isnt there a fix to this ? Win XP handle this very well ...so I am assuming there will be a fix to watch flash on Ubuntu in laptop | 12:54 |

| thevishy | I want to upgrade my RAM to 1 GB from 512 and thats like my next goal | 12:55 |
| yidu | hello | 12:55 |
| thevishy | Dr_Willis, how about 3rd party flash players then ? I mean then Ubuntu users can enjoy flash ? There could be some fix no ? | 12:55 |

| klumpen | oCean_: with those filters nothing come up | 12:56 |

| thevishy | people with laptop here - are u able to see flash videos without heating the laptop ? | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: good luck getting the one that exists to work with most things. | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: i dont have an issue with my laptop. but its using an nvidia video card. | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: you could always download/convert teh flash video i guess. | 12:57 |
| thevishy | Dr_Willis, right , i am watching from youtube | 12:57 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: what does "sudo netstat -anp | grep 2049" output? | 12:57 |
| cotueur | thank guntbert | 12:57 |
| sektorNBA | can anyonr help me to fix query using squid_ldap_group. I can query using ldapsearch .; | 12:57 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, the windows is able to view the linux one, in the Entire Network browsing... but won't connect (asks for user/password)... I only have 1 user on this linux box and I tried mine and that didn't work. | 12:58 |
| klumpen | oCean_: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2049 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 12:58 |
| guntbert | cotueur: pas de quois :) | 12:58 |
| thevishy | Dr_Willis, and this is not red tube like sites - just you tube u know :) | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: did you give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? | 12:58 |
| FireCrotch | thevishy: There's really no fix for flash in Linux at all. Adobe hates us Linux users. | 12:59 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, I actually just thought, that using the GUI to share the folder would be enough... didn't think I need to add that user now too (thought it would use PAM authentication) | 12:59 |
| craigbass1976 | I need video surveillance in a retail store. What's anyone's take on an ubuntu box dedicated solely to running a bunch of webcams? | 12:59 |
| epinky | sektorNBA: better ask on #ubuntu-server channel | 12:59 |
| CyL | How do I get a higher screen resolution (virtual) than is supported by my monitor in ubuntu? | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: befor i have just shared and clicked the 3 check box's to allow guest access. and i have accessed it.. | 13:00 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, you're up early. Where are you (time zone)? | 13:00 |
| thevishy | FireCrotch, did know this one - tough luck I guess | 13:00 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: that's correct, listening on all interfaces. The tcpdump might not return anything when your loopback is no "lo", see ifconfig -a | grep -i loopback | 13:00 |
| guntbert | !ot | craigbass1976 | 13:00 |
| ubottu | craigbass1976: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: or i just set up samba to share the HOME directories and be done with iot. | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: actually this is about the time i come home from work. | 13:00 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, understood. I added the user using smbpasswd and now i have access :) | 13:00 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: thats one of the 3 steps io always do on a new machine when setting up samba | 13:01 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, k | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | shai: the windows box was sending your username.. not 'guest' perhaps was the issue. | 13:01 |
| klumpen | oCean_: lo Link encap:Local Loopback | 13:01 |
| craigbass1976 | guntbert, meh? Why'd you do that? The time zone question, or the webcam question? | 13:01 |
| thevishy | i think Chrome browser handles flash better in ubuntu | 13:01 |
| ddoright | From google empathy is replacing pidgin, but why? What is the advantage? Google is failing me for reasons, only the fact that it is. | 13:01 |
| apocalypt | thevishy: did u try the open source flash player. e.g. gnash | 13:02 |
| thevishy | no | 13:02 |
| thevishy | i will try it | 13:02 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: ok, your loopback *is* lo, so I would think the tcpdump should return the NFS traffic/requests. Not sure why that's not the case | 13:02 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, maybe... no biggy just as long as it works :) (I'm a headless servers guy myself and used to doing this from within the smb.conf file - just wanted to give GUI a change) | 13:02 |
| klumpen | oCean_: is it possible that portmap is stopping the connection? | 13:02 |
| thevishy | !gnash | 13:02 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 13:02 |
| gigglefight | is there such thing to help with autoclick for Ubuntu 9.10? | 13:02 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, s/change/chance/ | 13:02 |
| guntbert | craigbass1976: both actually :-) this is no place for general chat or for polls... | 13:02 |
| FireCrotch | craigbass1976: I see no reason why you couldn't set up a ubuntu box to do that, just make sure that you get webcams that actually work in Linux, as that can be a problem, from what I've heard | 13:02 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: yes. "service portmap status" should return running PID | 13:03 |
| apocalypt | thevishy: look there. u will find a part about flash http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Gnash_Plug-in_.28Open_source_Flash_Player_replacement.29 | 13:03 |
| thevishy | apocalypt, if I use gnash , will it integrate with my browser ? ok | 13:03 |
| klumpen | oCean_: portmap start/running, process 17806 | 13:03 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: using "sudo netstat -anp |grep PID_OF_PORTMAP" should show whether it's really listening | 13:03 |
| klumpen | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17806/portmap | 13:03 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: in that case, re-run tcpdump, using port 111, like "tcpdump -i lo port 111" and re-try the nfs mount | 13:04 |
| craigbass1976 | guntbert, I was wondering if anyone had done it, or if anyone had ideas on the feasibility of such a setup. I will be clearer next time | 13:04 |
| thevishy | do you use gnash apocalypt | 13:04 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: just to be sure: leave tcpdump running, and remount in another window.. | 13:04 |
| klumpen | oCean_: 14:02:53.205459 IP localhost.58950 > localhost.sunrpc: Flags [.], ack 34, win 513, options [nop,nop,TS val 692053065 ecr 692053065], length 0 | 13:04 |
| thevishy | apocalypt, I am installing using sudo apt-get install gnash | 13:04 |
| thevishy | -> will it remove adobe flash player immdeiaely ? | 13:04 |
| apocalypt | thevishy: no i use the restricted-extras with flash. i've never had any issues with flash | 13:04 |
| thevishy | ok | 13:05 |
| klumpen | oCean_: so it makes the connection | 13:05 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: aha, so the requests talk to portmap. | 13:05 |
| oCean_ | klumpen: indeed | 13:05 |
| apocalypt | thevishy: no u need to deinstall it by yourself | 13:05 |
| papul | will be there any problems if i remove evolution mail client? | 13:05 |

| Dr_Willis | shai: setting up shared homes in the smb.conf file is about a 30 sec edit job. :) easier then the silly gui. | 13:07 |
| shai | Dr_Willis, indeed, but still, wanted to see if really, right-click check check check Ok would suffice... I guess not :) | 13:07 |
| guntbert | craigbass1976: I see - but usually such questions (like "might this be feasible", ...) are better placed in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:07 |
| ssv1994 | guys, why pictures on google maps don't work for me. I am clicking on a picture on the map, but the picture doesn't show. What is happening? | 13:08 |

| epinky | !br | cruzbr | 13:25 |
| ubottu | cruzbr: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 13:25 |
| ManDay | i didnt like mpd for it would require some fancy JACK setup to support an equalizer | 13:25 |
| ManDay | i tried it a while back in gentoo and it totally messed up | 13:25 |
| Darkwell | my idea is to verify that its possible to make ipset work without needing gcc and compile a new kernel | 13:25 |
| cruzbr | thanks my friends | 13:26 |
| epinky | ManDay: what about mp3blaster? | 13:26 |
| ManDay | since this articles mentiones mp3blaster, does IT have an equalizer? | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: cant say that ive ever worried about an equilizer.. so no idea on that | 13:26 |
| ManDay | epinky, just getting there :I | 13:26 |
| ManDay | :] | 13:26 |
| epinky | ManDay: yes, it does | 13:26 |
| ManDay | Dr_Willis, cant forgo it. | 13:26 |
| Darkwell | since then i could cutomize my own liveCD and have ipset on it directly and be able to use this as a bootup for my computer that i want as a router | 13:26 |
| ManDay | epinky, well then, seems like i found my candidate :> | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: i cant imagine why its needed. I just use os's equilizer.. and i rarely even use that. | 13:27 |
| ManDay | ubuntu has a built in equalier oO ? | 13:27 |
| ManDay | or what is it that you are refering to ? | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ManDay: i saw one mentioned on a ubuntu tutiorial page.. yes | 13:27 |

| Dr_Willis | penguin42: what upstart commands.. theres 'sudo service SERVICENAME start/stop/restart/whatever' | 13:46 |
| hal | hal9000 | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mobi-sheep: I normally disable the framebuffer also. | 13:46 |

| epinky | ohay: use LiveCD then and make necessary changes | 13:46 |
| penguin42 | Dr_Willis: What's the equivalent of update-rc.d ? And when I do initctl list I don't see the ssh entry even though I can see openssh-server has created a file in /etc/init.d | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | penguin42: thats easy.. there is none that ive seen.. | 13:47 |

| christaker | grawity: i can't connect to this channel...it seems that does not exist | 13:54 |
| apocalypt | tom967: maybe u should mount it in /mnt because /media is for removeable media | 13:54 |
| penguin42 | jrib: It seems right to migrate to upstart for everything rather than having a mix of the two - because with the mix of the two it's very difficult to know what you should do to start a given service since you have to figure out which scheme it uses | 13:54 |
| tom967 | apocalypt | 13:54 |
| tom967 | ok | 13:54 |
| grawity | christaker: It exists. I just joined it. | 13:54 |

| penguin42 | jrib: It does, but that won't cause it to start at boot | 13:55 |
| apocalypt | tom967: that means u should create a folder like /mnt/sdb1 and use it instead of /media/sdb1 in fstab | 13:55 |
| hyperstream | christaker, type: /join ##java | 13:55 |
| jrib | penguin42: but services start at boot automatically when you install them anyway | 13:55 |

| bray0 | i tried installin n it ain workin.. | 13:56 |
| ohay | epinky, I mean, how can I revert grub while running the live cd? won't I have to uninstall grub 2 and install grub 1? | 13:56 |
| christaker | hyperstream: i typed that but it doesn't do anything...i'm using quassel irc | 13:56 |
| blackest_knight | mash1: audio is so difficult since pulseaudio | 13:57 |
| penguin42 | jrib: This doesn't seem to be the case with openssh-server, and I know on most distros that it's a security policy not to autoenable services | 13:57 |
| jrib | penguin42: it is the case with openssh-server, on debian if you install something the expectation is that you want to use it | 13:57 |
| penguin42 | jrib: Given that 1) I have openssh-server and 2) It's not starting at boot I have to disagree | 13:57 |
| mash1 | (14:57:04) blackest_knight: yeah i've heard but my laptop sound great the only thing is the mic thing... it makes impossible to use skype. I google my laptop to see if there s any specifics. thankx | 13:58 |

| === Guest34007 is now known as hakan | ||
| MikeChelen | _4crickj_: depends on the encryption type | 14:09 |
| hakan | slm | 14:09 |
| zoobox | dvrcoder: tell me if you succeed. I tried make a start-with-nvidia livecd (wich UCK or somthing) with ubuntu7.10 (so it would be possible to just boot the cd and play tuxracer) and I think I made it work somehow | 14:09 |
| yacc | /j #ep3 | 14:09 |
| MikeChelen | Darkchylde: it will look like the directory is your home folder. use ls to tell it is a link | 14:10 |
| kubanc | is there a command to ping all the IP numbers from 1 to 254 | 14:10 |
| Kwpolska | kubanc: it might be ping *.*.*.* but why you want to do this | 14:11 |
| penguin42 | kubanc: nmap can do it | 14:11 |
| _4crickj_ | MikeChelen, I assume that stronger encryption, regardless of type, is slower | 14:11 |
| dvrcoder | zoobox: worked. installed the nvidia driver from the proprietary drivers menu, then run nvidia-xconfig, then "log out" and it comes up with the new driver | 14:12 |
| dvrcoder | <3 | 14:12 |
| Darkchylde | MikeChelen: ok, what it did was make ~/Music/Music/(paths to artists) instead of ~/Music/(paths to artists) | 14:12 |
| zoobox | dvrcoder: nice! | 14:12 |
| MikeChelen | _4crickj_: yes for cipher size, for file size it depends on encryption method | 14:13 |
| Darkchylde | would "ln -s /path/to/Music ~" give me what i want? | 14:13 |
| MikeChelen | Darkchylde: yup that looks right | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: check out the 'sing' command. its a specilized ping. | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !info sing | 14:13 |
| ubottu | Package sing does not exist in karmic | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm wonder where i saw it at | 14:13 |
| MikeChelen | Darkchylde: the empty ~/Music directory may have to be deleted first | 14:14 |
| jrib | Dr_Willis: have you been dreaming of linux again? | 14:14 |
| Darkchylde | MikeChelen: thanks, that got it. | 14:14 |
| _4crickj_ | MikeChelen, I agree, although i'm not familiar with the different methods of encryption and their complexity | 14:15 |
| MikeChelen | Darkchylde: if the music directory is on a separate hard drive or network share, you could also mount it directly at ~/Music | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | jrib: i recall using that command ages ago for some task. :) I think it was sing.. perhaps sping | 14:15 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: I did the change will try a reboot in seconds... Thanks for advice | 14:16 |
| MikeChelen | _4crickj_: file-based encryption and block-level encryption are different, for example dmcrypt-luks and ecryptfs | 14:16 |

| smk22 | i tried with reconfigure but nothing .. | 14:19 |
| penguin42 | kubanc: They tend to default to something | 14:19 |
| _4crickj_ | MikeChelen, so which method do you think is fastest? file-based or block-level | 14:19 |
| penguin42 | kubanc: Alternatively, it might have picked up an IP address from your dhcp server/router | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | kubanc: you could use nmap to ping scan the network | 14:20 |
| apocalypt | tom967: did u try to mount it by hand? like "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 | 14:20 |
| MikeChelen | _4crickj_: idk which is faster overall, but block level will not be any slower for larger files | 14:20 |
| legend2440 | Dr_Willis: is this it? http://sourceforge.net/projects/sing/ | 14:20 |
| kubanc | penguin42, yes i agree, but the printer is not new, so probably, there is already an ip, that is not the IP i wanna in my LAN, | 14:20 |
| kubanc | Dr_Willis, i'm already on it :D | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | legend2440: nah.. this was actually a ping variant used in scripts... | 14:20 |
| _4crickj_ | MikeChelen, ok, thanks for all the info | 14:20 |

| kubanc | penguin42, that's why i need to ping all the IP numbers in my newtork | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | legend2440: it could set return coded and other things. so you dident have to parse ping output | 14:20 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: It says: sdb1 doesn't exist | 14:21 |
| bray0_ | possibly which is the best language to start wit? | 14:21 |

| penguin42 | kubanc: I think they tend to have reset buttons to clear the cmos; but still as I say, worth checking your dhcp server/router to see if it's allocated it one | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | legend2440: but i guess it could of grown into that.. reading the sing docs... | 14:21 |
| migi | _4crickj_, really last question now, but I can't create an NTFS filesystem in TrueCrypt. There's FAT, Ext2 and Ext3, but they say I need NTFS if I want to use dynamic volume size. Do I need to install something first? | 14:21 |
| MikeChelen | _4crickj_: sure, they are both options for ubuntu. block-level requires setup with alternate install cd, while ecryptfs is used for encrypted home directories | 14:21 |
| bray0_ | possibly which is the best comp language to start wit? | 14:21 |
| nebrass | does anyone/anybody is mastering backtrack here??? | 14:21 |

| kubanc | penguin42, the problem it is, that this card, hasn't got not even a info button, not even a reset button, i don't even have it on the printer LCD display menu | 14:22 |
| penguin42 | kubanc: Ah that's a bit of a pita - have you taken the card out to see if it has a reset onboard? | 14:22 |

| MASARUwota | the same settings do not apply | 14:23 |
| boscop | MASARUwota: which settings apply there? | 14:23 |
| penguin42 | kubanc: What I would do is run a wireshark/tcpdump as you switch the printer on and see if you see any broadcasts | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | boscop: i think the ones for the GDM user | 14:24 |
| MASARUwota | boscop:you are running "normal" ubuntu? with GDM? | 14:24 |
| MASARUwota | probably the gdm user then, yeah | 14:24 |
| _4crickj_ | migi, soz can't help you there. perhaps MikeChelen knows. NTFS may be specific to an encryption type. | 14:24 |
| boscop | MASARUwota: GDM?? I'm running xfce | 14:24 |
| MASARUwota | boscop: your login manager | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | xfce uses gdm last i checked. | 14:24 |
| apocalypt | tom967: that seems there isn't a sdb | 14:24 |
| boscop | MASARUwota: where can I set the gdm cursor? | 14:24 |
| MASARUwota | Dr_Willis: well, it can use whatever you want :p | 14:24 |
| MASARUwota | boscop: dunno if you can do it graphically... | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | xubuntu-desktop uses GDM. :) | 14:25 |
| apocalypt | tom967: is it a new hdd ? external /internal? | 14:25 |

| chitebbeiv | hi, i'm writing a script for most important (according to my tasks) software to install and I need a way to let apt-get ignore previously installed packages, is it possible to do? | 14:26 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: SMART says its OK it only appears in Karmic | 14:26 |
| apocalypt | tom967: i guess the hdd is corrupt. | 14:26 |

| tom967 | apocalypt: do you think I should fill a bug report? | 14:27 |
| migi | MikeChelen, I am using truecrypt already. The problem is that I can't resize a volume once it's created, and to have a file with a dynamic size that grows they say I need NTFS, but the option to create an NTFS volume isn't there in TrueCrypt! | 14:27 |
| apocalypt | tom967: yeah maybe but i guess it is a hardware issue | 14:28 |
| apocalypt | tom967: please pastebin /etc/fstab again | 14:28 |
| ManDay | Who did suggest mp3blaster again? | 14:29 |
| ManDay | Very clever: It has shortcuts on F-keys. but if I press them in gnome-terminal I get the gnome-shortcuts | 14:29 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: http://pastebin.com/d1ca74c40 | 14:29 |
| apocalypt | tom967: did u place the jumper of the hdd correct? it should be slave if u use IDE HDD | 14:30 |
| MikeChelen | migi: encfs and ecryptfs can grow dynamically but they are linux only, do you need windows compatibility? | 14:30 |
| migi | MikeChelen, not in the near future, but maybe some day | 14:30 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: nice try but its a sata drive | 14:30 |
| ManDay | epinky, YOU! | 14:30 |
| migi | MikeChelen, do they work in the same way, creating a virtual volume that you can mount? | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: if you apt-get install whatever and whatever is allready intalled.. it will just skip it i thought | 14:30 |
| stevecoh1 | Can someone tell me why adobe-flashplugin always appears on my Update Manager list, but always in a grayed out non-selectable manner? | 14:31 |
| MikeChelen | migi: yup pretty much, files are stored encrypted in a directory which can be mounted | 14:31 |
| chitebbeiv | Dr_Willis, it does not... | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: it does here. I just tried it. | 14:31 |
| stevecoh1 | I think this may be responsible for problems I'm having in firefox when trying to watch movie clips. | 14:31 |
| hyperstream | is there any reason why my wireless on my laptop would be running at a maximum of 20kb's (even right next to the router) | 14:31 |
| hyperstream | this box(via Ethernet) = over 400kb's | 14:32 |
| apocalypt | tom967: it seems your sdb was mounted under /usr/local. was there your /usr/local on that hdd? | 14:32 |
| migi | MikeChelen, ok I'll use that. what's the (main) difference between encfs and ecryptfs? | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install whatever just prints a message about it being allready installed.. renameutils is already the newest version. | 14:32 |
| migi | MikeChelen, or are they the same? | 14:32 |

| chitebbeiv | Dr_Willis, can you send me that script? | 14:33 |
| stevecoh1 | last few times I've been on here seems I've been ignored. | 14:33 |
| MikeChelen | migi: ecryptfs is integrated with ubuntu option for encrypted homedirs, while encfs is a standalone install. they both do similar things though | 14:33 |

| MikeChelen | datta: why not upgrade the distro? | 14:36 |
| datta | MikeChelen: only if LTS comes out | 14:37 |
| datta | i dont upgrade other than that | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: so if you 'sudo apt-get install renameutils' then run 'sudo apt-get install renameutils' what does it say the 2nd time? | 14:37 |
| mobi-sheep | datta: You could use the VLC PPA. | 14:37 |
| seanh | My monitor is stuck at 52Hz, Monitor Resolution Settings doesn't offer any higher. How do I fix it? | 14:37 |
| chitebbeiv | that it's already installed, but my problem is to let install the other packages in the list | 14:37 |
| Aijse | hyperstream, I believe it could still make a difference. might try and see what happpens. it helped me out | 14:38 |
| fcuk112 | i am getting intermittent nvidia gpu errors, how do i find out more details about them? | 14:38 |
| stevecoh1 | Can someone tell me why adobe-flashplugin always appears on my Update Manager list, but always in a grayed out non-selectable manner? I just tried to install it with apt-get and that seems to have worked. Why does UpdateManager not allow it to happen? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: you could just do 1 package at a time i guess.. ive never noticed it failing befor tha way | 14:38 |
| hyperstream | Aijse, will give it a go, thanks mate | 14:38 |
| MASARUwota | stevecoh1: because you shoudld use sudo apt-get upgrade instead | 14:38 |
| stevecoh1 | hmm, I just did "install" - not "upgrade" | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: i just did a --> sudo apt-get install renameutils bloboats blockout2 | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | chitebbeiv: and it worked.. even tho i had renameutils and bloboats allready installed.. it just instgalled blockout2 here | 14:39 |
| mobi-sheep | stevecoh1: Do "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" -- Things should roll over. | 14:39 |
| stevecoh1 | will give that a shot. | 14:40 |
| ManDay | Does anyone use mp3blaster and/or can tell me why it complains "cannot open sound device"? | 14:40 |
| stevecoh1 | mobi-sheep: followed your instructions, all it did was to remove some stuff. | 14:42 |
| jken | Dear all,how to change swap of size ? | 14:42 |
| mobi-sheep | datta: With Christopher Korn's PPA, you could get vlc-0.9.9a-1~ppa1~hardy5 -- The other choice is to stay with your current VLC version or compile the latest one yourself -- or upgrading to latest Ubuntu. | 14:42 |
| stevecoh1 | hopefully, the manual install of adobe-flashplugin will take care of the problems I've had in viewing film clips in firefox. | 14:43 |
| mobi-sheep | datta: You're sticking with LTS for stability -- which does make senses. VLC should be fine for your files. | 14:43 |
| apocalypt | jken: u need to expand the swap partition. try gparted. i guess that what u need to do | 14:43 |
| tom967 | apocalypt: i mounted my drive this boot wanna see the fdisk -l? | 14:44 |

| mobi-sheep | ActionParsnip: You're back! My butterfly came back after it flew away! :) | 14:44 |
| apocalypt | tom967: if fdisk doesn't list that drive i guess there is a problem with that drive. fdisk give u a list of HDDs mounted or unmounted that doesn't matter | 14:46 |

| apocalypt | tom967: now it is mounted? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | hyperstream: no, its optional so will need installing and configuring | 14:47 |
| zoobox | seanh, are you sure it is really at 52Hz? nvidia-drivers tend to lie I think ans say something else than reality. btw, what kind of monitor a normal CRT, or a new thin tft? | 14:47 |

| ActionParsnip | resjudicata: www.ati.com has the driver | 14:47 |
| datta | there does not seem to be any signature for vlc | 14:47 |
| apocalypt | tom967: i guess if u loose it again there is a hardware problem.maybe u should backup all files there and change the hdd sometimes | 14:47 |

| resjudicata | afaik | 14:48 |

| tom967 | apocalypt: thanks again, I do what you say | 14:48 |
| BananasAh | so today all of a sudden my internet stopped working. So I figured if I deleted eth0 from the Wired Network list, it might magically reappear again and start working again. Well I was wrong it seems, but does any of you have any idea on how I could get it back? | 14:48 |
| datta | says signature not verified for the ppa | 14:48 |
| apocalypt | tom967: np hope it helps | 14:48 |
| resjudicata | AP, it's on the amd's side, where's the site for the open source drivers? | 14:49 |

| agent42 | hi, i'm using Empathy 2.28.1.1 - how do I get a list of "rooms". The "Contact list" -> Room -> Join.. shows a greyed out "server:" and an empty Room list | 14:51 |
| BananasAh | ActionParsnip: I added "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" to it (nothing else is in it) then I tried to restart it using "/etc/init.d/networking restart" but that didn't help much as it said "No DHCPoffers received" at the end | 14:51 |
| blackest_knight | LP: yes | 14:51 |
| LP | any reason why my USB DVD drive is not detected? :) | 14:52 |
| MikeChelen | migi: try the command line then, it's pretty straightforward | 14:52 |
| dimitar | datta:why dont you just try to update it? | 14:52 |
| blackest_knight | resjudicata: how long can you wait ? | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | BananasAh: does it run with sttic ip? | 14:52 |
| * BananasAh is away | 14:52 | |
| datta | dimitar: update what? ubuntu itself? | 14:52 |
| dimitar | datta:no,vlc player? | 14:52 |
| datta | dimitar: can't that is the problem | 14:52 |
| resjudicata | blackest_knight, I'm free all day :) | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | resjudicata: then you'll need the open driver. | 14:52 |
| MikeChelen | migi: you can also edit the fstab to have the directory loaded through mount command | 14:53 |
| datta | there is no package from their site only how to add the PPA | 14:53 |
| blackest_knight | resjudicata: lol i meant there are some arm netbooks on the way | 14:53 |
| resjudicata | oh, lol | 14:53 |
| blackest_knight | resjudicata: trouble is they never seem to arrive | 14:53 |
| dimitar | datta:run synaptic package manager and then type vlc player and check it for upgrade if available | 14:53 |

| BananasAh | ActionParsnip: not really, it changes IP all the time (the outbound one anyway, as I don't think there's an actual network here) | 14:54 |
| blackest_knight | ManDay: from time to time | 14:54 |
| ManDay | dimitar, blackest_knight was it a pain to set up and get running? | 14:54 |
| resjudicata | blackest_knight, and they're miniature, anything less than 11" is unbearable if you ask me | 14:54 |
| ManDay | (with pulse) | 14:54 |
| dimitar | ManDay:not really...:P | 14:54 |
| datta | dimitar: nope there is none | 14:55 |
| ManDay | dimitar, blackest_knight you dont happen to use an equalizer with it, do you? | 14:55 |
| blackest_knight | resjudicata: I use an aspire one 9 inch screen and its good for me the 7inch eee was a bit too small | 14:55 |
| migi | ManDay, you should try install qjackctl, and fiddle with the settings there until you get it running | 14:55 |
| blackest_knight | ManDay: no i mainly installed it to try instead of pulse | 14:55 |
| ManDay | sounds fun migi | 14:55 |

| ManDay | instead of pulse? | 14:56 |

| dimitar | datta:damn....try ubuntu software centee | 14:56 |
| ManDay | how can jack be used INSTEAD of pulse? i thought it goes before it? | 14:56 |
| dimitar | datta:center* | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: the minimum requirement is exactly the same for both | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: I recommend you install XUbuntu for a more responsive system | 14:56 |
| kthakore | hi there | 14:56 |
| blackest_knight | if you start jack it will disable pulse | 14:57 |
| jaceleon | ActionParsnip: but I noticed that karmic is a bit slow on loading, does it mean it uses more RAM? | 14:57 |
| kthakore | I have a new aspire 1 netbook and I can't seem to boot from USB into it | 14:57 |
| datta | dimitar: trying it out with synaptic | 14:57 |

| ManDay | is there a way to make jack go through pulse? | 14:57 |
| fcuk112 | i am using 195.22 drivers, though it also happens on 190.53 drivers | 14:57 |
| dimitar | datta:any success? | 14:57 |
| datta | dimitar: no | 14:57 |
| migi | ManDay, it's an option in the qjackctl's settings | 14:57 |
| blackest_knight | kthakore: should just be able to hit f12 and select the usb device | 14:57 |
| jken | good night ! all... | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: no it uses the same RAM, if you use XUbuntu (Ubuntu + Xfce instead of Gnnome) it will use less RAM. Jaunty still has 10 months of support so is an equally good release to use | 14:58 |

| ManDay | :-/ | 15:04 |
| muhammad_ | if so then how can i ? | 15:04 |
| datta | but still version does not update | 15:04 |
| MASARUwota | muhammad_: yes, you should use your ubuntu cd, and start from that. then use gparted to resize it. | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | muhammad_: from a livecd | 15:04 |
| muhammad_ | ok thanks | 15:04 |
| jaceleon | ActionParsnip: karmic is a bit slow. Will that be addressed in Lucid? | 15:04 |

| datta | all right, everyone thanks for helping me out as far as you could, i am getting tired and would go back to the last version | 15:05 |
| dimitar | datta:where did you found that about vlc version? | 15:05 |
| datta | thanks though for helping | 15:05 |
| MASARUwota | acovrig: dhcpcd | 15:05 |
| datta | dimitar: what version? | 15:05 |
| BlouBlou | How can I minimize full-screen window? | 15:05 |
| BlouBlou | I am using gnome | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: there is no a devive per speaker. that's not how things work | 15:05 |
| Liberty | I have 2 ubuntu systems Desktop and server Cups is running on server. Dsktop prints through server.but I want to add my windows system. to cups, Drivers installed but windows can't connect | 15:06 |
| MASARUwota | BlouBlou: you cannot | 15:06 |
| dimitar | datta:what version of vlc player you want and what version do you have? :P | 15:06 |
| acovrig | dhcpcd not installed, installing... | 15:06 |
| BananasAh | yeah my internet's still not working, and I don't really know the cause.. It just didn't work when I booted my computer this morning, any thoights on what might've caused that? | 15:06 |
| BlouBlou | MASARUwota: well, and can I switch desktop? | 15:06 |
| acovrig | can't install without internet... | 15:06 |
| datta | dimitar: i have 0.8.6 and i want version 1.0.0 | 15:06 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, there should be, its a laptop | 15:06 |
| acovrig | MASARUwota, what else can I do, that isn't installed, and I can't do an apt-get | 15:07 |
| jaceleon | all: guys, some guys have created a very weird XP that uses only 64 MB RAM. But I guess using a modded CD with even a genuine license is bad, right...? | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: what makes you think there is a device per speaker? that's not true. where did your hear that? | 15:07 |
| MASARUwota | acovrig: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:07 |
| MASARUwota | something like that | 15:07 |
| dimitar | datta: % sudo apt-get update | 15:07 |
| dimitar | % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | jaceleon: ask in ##windows | 15:07 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, tell me what would be right then | 15:07 |
| Diverdude | Did anybody in here ever use parallel computing in matlab? | 15:07 |
| dimitar | datta:i hope this will update your vlc player | 15:07 |
| MASARUwota | !no | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 15:07 |
| MASARUwota | :X | 15:08 |
| datta | dimitar:thank you | 15:08 |
| datta | bye then everyone, good day to all | 15:08 |
| acovrig | nope, ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 what? | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: i dunno what you are trying to do; you asked where the sound card devices are i told you that. What is your real question? | 15:08 |
| dimitar | datta:bye | 15:08 |
| MASARUwota | acovrig: ipconfig eth0 up | 15:08 |
| MASARUwota | *ifconfig eth0 up | 15:08 |
| ManDay | which sound card device should i pass to an audio program to use then, erUSUL | 15:08 |
| jaceleon | actually, for my PIII Laptop, I prefer Jaunty, but everytime I shut it down, the screen "melts", its scary. Also, it doesn't detect my max resolution and uses 800x600 | 15:08 |
| Diverdude | anyone? | 15:09 |
| jaceleon | I dont know why is that, that's why I want to ask regarding Karmic. | 15:09 |
| acovrig | then what? | 15:09 |
| BananasAh | well mystery solved, or not quite, but at least the internet suddenly started working on its own again | 15:09 |
| MASARUwota | jaceleon:just install a lightweight distro, instead of using old software :X | 15:09 |
| dimitar | ok then....i have question....why i have two ip adresses...what is my real ip adress | 15:09 |
| dimitar | anyone? | 15:10 |
| MASARUwota | dimitar: ifconfig -a ? | 15:10 |
| penguin42 | dimitar: What are the two that you have? | 15:10 |
| acovrig | <MASARUwota> then what? | 15:10 |
| jaceleon | MASARUwota, what will you advice me? Is crunchbang good enough, or is there a lightweight distro that is Ubuntu based than that? | 15:10 |
| ManDay | I keep getting the error "Failed to open sound device." in mp3blaster. ls /dev/snd yields: "by-path controlC0 hwC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p timer", please help! | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: audio programs shouldn't use audio device directly. if it is a real old program that only accepts legacy interfaces then you can point it to /dev/dsp | 15:10 |
| dimitar | MASARUwota:thanks man | 15:10 |
| jaceleon | ManDay, how about forcing your alsa to restart | 15:10 |
| ManDay | jaceleon, its pulse, not alsa | 15:11 |
| freeride | please tell me, where is file .bashrc located??? | 15:11 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, idont have /dev/dsp | 15:11 |
| jaceleon | then restart pluse using the terminal and the command sudo | 15:11 |
| dimitar | penguin42: on this web site www.whatismyip.com its 93.xxx.xxx.xxx and in network properties its 192.xxx.xxx.xxx... | 15:11 |
| MASARUwota | jaceleon: ;/ ubuntu isnt really lightweight in any form, crunchbang depends too much on gnome utilities. i would try fluxbuntu | 15:11 |
| ward- | with gimp if i draw a line quickly it will have corners instead of being nicely round | 15:11 |
| === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| ward- | can i fix this somehow? | 15:11 |
| BobXFett | Good morning, all. | 15:11 |
| MASARUwota | !hi | 15:11 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 15:11 |
| jaceleon | MASARUwota, what is the system req. of Fluxbuntu? | 15:11 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: try this « padsp mp3blaster » | 15:12 |
| freeride | guys help, where is file .bashrc located??? | 15:12 |
| MASARUwota | jaceleon: idk | 15:12 |
| grawity | freeride: ~/.bashrc | 15:12 |
| dimitar | BobXFett:hi....its evening in my place | 15:12 |
| freeride | thanjks | 15:12 |
| grawity | freeride: The ~ means your home directory, usually /home/<user>/ | 15:12 |
| BobXFett | dimitar: Where you from? =) | 15:12 |
| MASARUwota | ward: try #gimp | 15:12 |
| ward- | jaceleon: if it uses fluxbox the specs should be pretty low but im not sure about the EXACT specs | 15:12 |
| legend2440 | freeride: browse to /home/yourusername and press ctrl+h its a hidden file | 15:12 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, that worked. How did you know? | 15:12 |
| dimitar | BobXFett:Serbia....you? | 15:12 |
| ward- | google for them | 15:12 |
| grawity | dimitar: whatismyip.com only shows your _external_ IP, and 'network properties' only shows the _internal_ one. | 15:12 |
| ward- | MASARUwota: no response there anymore | 15:12 |
| BobXFett | dimitar: USA. Nice to meet you =) | 15:12 |
| acovrig | <MASARUwota> then what? (after ifconfig eth0 up) | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | dimitar: Your DSL/cable router is probably doing a thing called 'NAT' which lets multiple computers share one external IP address by giving each one their own internal IP | 15:13 |
| MASARUwota | acovrig: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: ubuntu uses pulseaudio. to force mp3blaster to use pulseaudio we can use the padsp wrapper | 15:13 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, so that means mp3blaster is so old that its still trying to use OSS at any cost? | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: man padsp | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: correct | 15:13 |
| dimitar | penguin42:ok i understand now...thanks | 15:13 |
| acovrig | <MASARUwota> then what? that didn't fix it | 15:13 |
| ward- | grawity: "internal ip" lol? | 15:13 |
| dimitar | grawity:thanks | 15:13 |
| migi | wow, EncFS performance is like magic! | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: you should look to newer console players | 15:13 |
| acovrig | <MASARUwota> but it didn't say 'unknown eth0=eth0' | 15:13 |
| ManDay | man :-/ seems like the only audio player that suits me is stone old :-( | 15:13 |
| ward- | grawity: 'local' is usually used, and somepeople only have a internet ip (if they have nothing that does NAT)) | 15:14 |
| grawity | ward-: IP address. | 15:14 |
| apanda | i've tried to install the latest ati binary drivers via envyng for the 9600 pro in ubuntu 8.04, now i got a "distorted" login screen and couldnt move the mouse, then i rebooted, used the xfix recovery, got a working login screen which brings me to a white screen where nothing happens tho.. how can i reinstall other drivers, preferably a different version of the ati binary ones, as i think it installed wrong drivers? (textmode only) | 15:14 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, okay maybe you can tell me which I should take: Needs equalizer and should be very very plain | 15:14 |
| dimitar | no one expect from me to know everything...right....in the end...i am just a kid...:D | 15:14 |
| BobXFett | So I take it this is the right channel to request some support. I'm having an issue which I have been unable to find any solution for by searching, and was hoping somebody could help me either to correct it or to refine what I'm searching for to find some useful info online. | 15:14 |
| ward- | BobXFett: so lets hear it | 15:14 |
| penguin42 | BobXFett: What's the issue | 15:14 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay: there are so many audio players | 15:14 |
| dimitar | BobXFett:whats the problem? | 15:15 |
| ManDay | MASARUwota, go ahead, name one that matches (and doesnt use JACK) | 15:15 |
| ManDay | i d love to hear it | 15:15 |
| jaceleon | ManDay, VLC is the best player you could get for any distro.... | 15:15 |
| ManDay | im looking for a decent one for half a decade now, id guess | 15:15 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay: dunno what your requirements are? | 15:15 |
| ManDay | jaceleon, vlc sucks for music. and it crashes when i try to sort the playlist | 15:15 |
| BobXFett | Summary of the issue: when I boot up or shut down Ubuntu (9.10), the progress screen (the one with the loading/unloading bar and the text that displays messages such as if a disk check needs to be performed) is corrupt; no ubuntu logo, no normal graphics, but it displays a lot of "test pattern" type imagery, such as black-to-white gradient, primary colors, different shapes, etc. (looks like one of those old "please stand by" TV | 15:16 |
| dimitar | VLC is the best player in any distro so is firefox best browser in any distro | 15:16 |
| ManDay | MASARUwota, nothing much, as i said: It should have a builtin equalizer and a playlist and should be very plain. | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: mplayer | 15:16 |
| MASARUwota | VLC is horrible. terrible built-in codecs | 15:16 |
| ward- | audacious | 15:16 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: no i can not... maybe mpd (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki) with a curses program (Ncmpd) ? | 15:16 |
| penguin42 | BobXFett: Sounds like a graphics driver problem - what type of graphics card do you have? | 15:16 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay: audacious? quodlibet? or just use a console player =) | 15:16 |
| ManDay | audacious isnt really plain nor CLI, ward- | 15:16 |
| dimitar | MASARUwota:VLC is horrible...so what player you use? | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: you can use mplayer at cli | 15:17 |
| ward- | ManDay: i didnt see you wanted CLI | 15:17 |
| ManDay | just has to be very plain and simple | 15:17 |
| MASARUwota | dimitar: mplayer for vids, audacious for music | 15:17 |
| ManDay | i love foobar on windows for example | 15:17 |
| ward- | dimitar: he means for music most likely | 15:17 |
| dimitar | MASARUwota:Audacious2....:D | 15:17 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay:QuodLibet is similar to foobar | 15:17 |
| BobXFett | I have an nvidia card. I am not sure of the particular model. Some background info which may be useful: I was previously running 8.04. On that install I had modified my boot up splash screen and TTY settings to run in 1440x900 resolution, using the directions at the following URL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622018. I am wondering if something from that change has carried over to the new install and I need to cl | 15:17 |
| jaceleon | actually, dimitar, the best version of firefox is actually swiftfox. | 15:18 |
| ManDay | MASARUwota, does it have an equalizer? | 15:18 |
| dimitar | is there GOM player for linux? | 15:18 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay: idk, give it a shot | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: in your opinion... | 15:18 |
| dimitar | ManDay:it have equilazer | 15:18 |
| === slacker_1l is now known as slacker_nl | ||
| MASARUwota | dimitar: why would you want that? | 15:18 |
| BobXFett | (I am also checking which video card I have right now, will confirm that in a moment) | 15:18 |
| jaceleon | well, I go for speed, ActionParsnip.... since my PIII is like way too old... | 15:18 |
| dimitar | MASARUwota:i dont know,i dont want that i just ask becouse i always thought there is GOM player for linux | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: i'd say kazehakase personally. but i've dropped firefox now | 15:19 |
| ManDay | dimitar, MASARUwota - i reckon i must have tried it before (cos i almost tried any player with GUI that exist out there), but ill give it another shot, maybe it improved (more stable) | 15:19 |
| ManDay | oh yeah, does quod libet support web streamsß | 15:19 |
| ManDay | ? | 15:19 |
| MASARUwota | manday: i dont believe that, as you havent tried out most MPD-based ones. | 15:19 |
| ward- | ManDay: ah now its no longer needed to be a CLI tool and my suggestion is nice? | 15:19 |
| dimitar | ManDay:just install Audacious2 and lean back and enjoy...:D | 15:19 |
| jaceleon | is kazehakaze fast, ActionParsnip? | 15:19 |
| ManDay | MASARUwota, mpd ones are not elibble at all because they do not have equalizers | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: sure, its also the default in fluxbuntu | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: i use chromium, its very fast | 15:20 |
| ManDay | ward-, i had audacious once and it was unstable | 15:20 |
| jaceleon | does kazehakaze have plugins like in firefox, ActionParsnip? | 15:20 |
| BobXFett | I have a Geforce 8400M GS running restricted nvidia drivers. | 15:20 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay:give quodlibet a try then :/ also, why didnt you like audacious? it does everything that you describe | 15:20 |
| ward- | ManDay: be glad that you didnt have XMMS | 15:20 |
| ward- | :p | 15:20 |
| ManDay | MASARUwota, it crashed and had trouble with web streams | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: its firefox based so i'd imagine so | 15:20 |
| ManDay | i had XMMS(2), too, didnt like it either | 15:20 |
| dimitar | ward-:hahahah....yes...thats right! :D | 15:20 |
| MASARUwota | ManDay: ;/ works fine here and i use it to stream OGG stuff daily. np here | 15:21 |
| xerox1 | hi i am looking for a pdf viewer that supports spellchecking; any recommendations? | 15:21 |
| ward- | ManDay: lol xmms was really messed up imo | 15:21 |
| ward- | ManDay: if you changed the volume the volume of everything would change :D | 15:21 |
| ward- | it was liek the master volume slider lol | 15:21 |
| Liberty | xerox1: you could try the openoffice extention | 15:22 |
| MASARUwota | audacious does the same thing ;/ | 15:22 |
| jaceleon | OGG is the default format of music files in Ubuntu right? So what would I use to play my MP3 collection, or what should I install? | 15:22 |
| ward- | man i really want gimp NOT to mess up my lines :( | 15:22 |
| BobXFett | penguin42: does that information seem helpful or pertinent based on my description of the symptom? | 15:22 |
| MASARUwota | jaceleon: the correct codecs | 15:22 |
| ward- | jaceleon: it can play mp3's aswell, you can just install the codec | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jaceleon: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras yuo will be able to decode mp3 | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | jaceleon: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:22 |
| ward- | amongst other stuff | 15:23 |
| jaceleon | Masaru, codecs, so that's in the synaptics? or the terminal apt? | 15:23 |
| Darkchylde | both. | 15:23 |
| bray0_ | ...anyone good at cracking wpa2? | 15:23 |
| gotmilk82 | i hate dell....had to install windows 7 to be able to upgrade my BIOS...now I am just going to install wubi and see if that works. Is wubi a dual boot? | 15:23 |
| penguin42 | BobXFett: Yeh, so it sounds like a bug with the Nvidia restricted drivers - but there are lots of people running those so it seems odd; does it run OK basically without the restircted drivers? | 15:23 |
| ward- | jaceleon: they both do the same thing | 15:23 |
| dimitar | jaceleon:both...synaptic and term | 15:23 |
| bray0_ | ...anyone good at cracking wpa2? | 15:23 |
| MASARUwota | bray0_: youre so 1337 | 15:23 |

| ManDay | is the audacious package actually audacious 2 ? | 15:23 |
| BobXFett | I have not tried. Everything is actually functioning fine except for the boot up/shutdown screen. Let me try disabling the driver and rebooting and see if it still happens. One moment. | 15:23 |

| MASARUwota | Bookman: just open up gparted, select the device, and check the type | 15:34 |
| MASARUwota | ;/ | 15:34 |
| Diverdude | nastas, hmm can i use alias instead of ip? | 15:34 |
| MASARUwota | Diverdude: hostname? yes, for example: ping google.com | 15:35 |

| nastas | Diverdude: MASARUwota is right | 15:35 |

| MASARUwota | Bookman: change the device in gparted | 15:36 |
| Bookman | MASARUwota, now it does | 15:36 |
| Diverdude | MASARUwota, aha ok....and is it possible to see also what services or ports are available? | 15:36 |
| MASARUwota | Bookman: what does it say? | 15:36 |
| Bookman | MASARUwota, unallocated | 15:36 |
| MASARUwota | Diverdude? you mean, on the other host? | 15:36 |
| BobXFett | penguin42: There are a number of lines beginning with vesafb: None of them appear to have any errors, they provide information on the settings being applied (resolution, color depth). | 15:36 |
| Diverdude | MASARUwota, yeah | 15:36 |
| bray0_ | hahahahahaha..... @masaruwota n fujk yall some bunch o pricks... | 15:36 |
| sevenseeker | bray0_: consider this translation, "What is a good script language to start with? Perl, Python, PHP, etc" | 15:36 |

| MASARUwota | !aoltalk|bray0_ | 15:37 |
| penguin42 | BobXFett: It's worth checking to see what happens without the nvidia driver, but either way I'd submit an ubuntu bug for it - noting whether or not it does it with and without the closed driver | 15:37 |
| Diverdude | MASARUwota, right ok....but many servers will consider that as a "hacker-attack" right ? Because its basically a port scan | 15:37 |

| MASARUwota | Bookman: depends on what you want to use it for. large file storage? do you want it to be accesible in windows? etc | 15:39 |
| olimpico | MASARUwota: I already tried from alsamixer | 15:39 |
| nastas | rCX: did you try tar command | 15:39 |
| nastas | ? | 15:39 |
| olimpico | MASARUwota: Without success | 15:39 |
| jrib | rCX: if you want to use the terminal, you shouldn't be afraid to read the man page for tar, especially the EXAMPLES section | 15:39 |
| MASARUwota | olimpico: just press M to unmute a channel | 15:39 |
| Bookman | MASARUwota, I don't use windows anywhere. I've chosen ext3 | 15:40 |
| dimitar | ActionParsnip:so i need to change it name to xorg.conf and replace it it /etc/X11/ | 15:40 |

| chilli0 | lolmac, What is the directory of the file ? | 15:50 |
| Dzialthov | could someone help me | 15:50 |
| migi | MASARUwota, because of fear of doing something wrong | 15:51 |

When i do apt-get upgrade it complains about the dpkg is readonly. I did sudo dpkg --configure -a and i get dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: | 16:24 |

| nikolaj_basher | Crazy|One, you don't need to excuse, I'm bad to english :) | 16:35 |
| migi | airtonix, you know what, I'm just going to fstab at it. I know what should go where (...ish), and GUI's are no miracle solution here either. If you never hear from me again, you know what happened ;) | 16:35 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mobi-sheep, yeah, i know i can do it like that but it shouldnt be that "hard". thought ubuntu were to be user friendly but im starting to believe it's moving in the opposite direction | 16:35 |
| airtonix | migi, it is probably what i would do | 16:36 |
| Crazy|One | nikolaj_basher lol ok, is there anyway i could extract the ubuntu 9.10 installer cd onto a partition on my hard drive to boot? | 16:36 |
| wvd | Anyone experienced with sBNC here? I'm having problems and 1000 channels are waiting. Support channel is muted. | 16:36 |
| airtonix | migi you might gain more understanding as to why it's occuring if you happen to have more usb drives lying around with different drive formats | 16:37 |

| X-Sleepy-X | mobi-sheep, ;) | 16:38 |
| mobi-sheep | X-Sleepy-X: That is distro. I was talking about Pidgin or XChat. Depends on what you're using Empathy for. ;o | 16:38 |
| Crazy|One | nikolaj_basher yes but no burner, i am currently using the cdrom to run ubuntu livecd | 16:38 |
| apanda | i think my sound stopped working in 8.04 (it worked with the fresh install) after i updated all the packages and installed the ati legacy binary driver for my radeon 9600. lspci gives me 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) and the speaker symbol was crossed thru after booting, i have it at 20% now | 16:38 |
| migi | airtonix, well I didn't want to clutter the chat with it as I thought it was irrelevant, but actually it's not an external hard drive but a raid controller connected to two hard drives (so everything is backed up automatically) but ubuntu creates a /dev/mapper/something device that *should* act the same as if the raid controller was a normal disk | 16:38 |
| migi | airtonix, so I'm just going to add the /dev/mapper/thing to /etc/fstab | 16:39 |
| MASARUwota | fluffy_mcduff: that reinstalled the package. | 16:39 |
| nikolaj_basher | is there not a install icon on you desktop | 16:39 |

| mobi-sheep | Crazy|One: I wonder if the problem you're having is because you deleted / without backing up. You might need to configure your /etc/fstab -- if that is the reason. (/etc/ alone is only 10mb at most). | 16:40 |
| migi | airtonix, maybe one last question: should I add the partition or the drive to /etc/fstab? | 16:40 |

| kubanc | has anybody tried to install hp 4100n printer ? | 17:10 |

| lvh | VCoolio, yeah, that might be it. Thanks! | 17:11 |
| DarkGlo_ | VCoolio, the process is ghb? | 17:11 |
| VCoolio | DarkGlo_: for me, yes | 17:11 |
| soopos | Dr_Willis: You are right. It is apparent that the program needs sudo. Thank you! | 17:11 |
| DarkGlo_ | VCoolio, thanks i see it in the process any idea why it locks up? | 17:11 |
| VCoolio | DarkGlo_: no, sorry, it ran fine for me but I only used it twice | 17:12 |
| kubanc | fahadsadah, well i cannot find drivers for 4100n so, are there any similar drivers, OR, are the 4100 drivers same for 4100n | 17:12 |
| DarkGlo_ | VCoolio, well i got the newer version today and before it ran fine for me too but now it seems like it locks up only when choosing the dvd drive | 17:12 |

| dios_mio | my LCD monitor will have faint horizontal lines left from the lines of the windows... they go away when i turn the pc on in the morning, but they randomly come back.. do you think they are caused by the fading out kind of screensaver of Ubuntu? | 17:13 |
| hellyeah | hey | 17:13 |
| Kwpolska | sheila: hardy is outdated. | 17:13 |
| hellyeah | i am in ubuntu jaunty | 17:13 |

| * Kwpolska hates ubuntu. Mandriva, the [censored]est distro evah has been EVEN BETTER. 9.10 sucks. | 17:14 | |
| kubanc | cgkades, :D, so if i wanna find similar printer, i can look for it for hours .... | 17:14 |
| sheila | fahadsadah, I had images turned off | 17:14 |
| guntbert | !root | mode | 17:14 |
| ubottu | mode: 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 | 17:14 |
| VCoolio | DarkGlo_: try to run it from a terminal and see if there is useful output | 17:14 |
| DarkGlo_ | VCoolio, good idea | 17:14 |
| mode | thanks | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | dios_mio: look at the plug its using and what you rmonitor is connected to.. double check connections :) dosent hurt. If you can use a DVI or hdmi cable - then use those instead of VGA . | 17:15 |
| sheila | it seems you can only download ubuntu if you are sighted, blind people can f-off | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | dios_mio: other then that. i doubt if theres anything the screensaver/other stuff is doing to the lcd | 17:15 |
| Kwpolska | mode: type gksu gnome-terminal or kdesudo konsole if kde in run window [alt+f2] | 17:15 |
| sheila | alt text? What's that? | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | dios_mio: could be the lcd is getting old also. | 17:15 |

| loopodoopo_ | Anybody who has experience with ubuntu 9.10 and onboard raid 0? | 17:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | I wish to figure out what is going on, sometimes I get ridiculous spike on the cpu that lasts for a few seconds and lags my browser, how do I go finding out why? | 17:26 |
| pepee | airtonix, my problem was this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/418246 | 17:27 |
| pepee | so it's fixed | 17:27 |
| pepee | thank you | 17:27 |
| === Yos_ is now known as Yos | ||
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: sounds like your browser is causing those CPU spikes. maybe uninstall some plugins. | 17:28 |
| Mimi | Oii | 17:28 |
| tulur | as linux is based on ubuntu 9.10 then what is difference between both of them ? | 17:29 |
| tulur | *linuxmint | 17:29 |
| eddym | hey all is there some calendar program like outlook | 17:29 |
| eddym | for ubuntu | 17:29 |
| blakkheim | tulur: preinstalled codecs, GUI differences | 17:29 |
| CShadowRun | eddym: evolution | 17:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, no it has happened before and with only four plugins installed I doubt that will consume 100% cpu :s | 17:29 |
| switch10_ | eddym: evolution. it comes with ubuntu | 17:29 |
| bazhang | tulur, one is supported here. | 17:29 |
| eddym | CShadowRun, just saw it thxs | 17:29 |
| CShadowRun | :) | 17:29 |
| tulur | blakkheim , can we install ubuntu themes in mint ? | 17:30 |

| om26er__ | tulur, they took ubuntu and added what they wanted to it. | 17:30 |

| loopodoopo_ | No body can help me with raid 0 problems ? :( | 17:31 |
| yeahboi | why does connecting to dsl over pppoe work only with pppoeconf and not with network manager applet? | 17:32 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: I would start by disabling all plugins, then slowly enable them one by one to find out which one is causing teh problem | 17:32 |
| Scott__ | was shiela being serious | 17:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, you're assuming it is the browser plugin but right now i am surfing without a problem not even one lag and i am on facebook *shocked* no lags, I very much doubt it is the browser | 17:34 |
| * om26er wonders are people gone for holidays as he is not recieving any ubuntu emails | 17:34 | |

| gimpy5301 | night: both is fine, but aptitude is a bit nicer | 17:37 |
| loopodoopo_ | Nightfrog: u can use them bothe | 17:37 |
| devnull_ | i hate to be this way since I have used Ubuntu since it first started ... but what the f*ck has the Ubuntu team been thinking. USB support is for the birds since 8.10 ... ATI support is gone and DVD playback is a bitch ... what the crap is going on ? | 17:38 |
| devnull_ | I have to go back to 8.04 i suppose to haev a working system again | 17:38 |

| bazhang | file a bug devnull_ | 17:38 |
| om26er | devnull_, and also try 9.10 | 17:39 |
| devnull_ | I have 9.10 | 17:39 |
| devnull_ | i just upgraded | 17:39 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: I'm pretty sure it is your browser. Because I had the exact same problem, but you don't need to take my advice, thats fine :) | 17:39 |
| om26er | devnull_, clean install might help | 17:39 |
| lengend_ | how do i play Windows Media files in firefox? | 17:39 |
| devnull_ | I have been playing this game since 9.04 broke ATI support | 17:39 |
| gimpy5301 | I still liked 7.04 best, first version of ubu I used | 17:39 |
| devnull_ | and I have already fresh installed numerous ties | 17:39 |
| devnull_ | as well as my friends computer has the same exact issues in 9.04+ | 17:40 |
| burzki | nightfrog`, my understanding, aptitude can sometime try to be too smart, apt maybe safer for normal use (??) | 17:40 |
| * om26er says think what you wanna think | 17:40 | |
| devnull_ | seems like everything is just broken now ... why break support for stuff that has worked in every other version | 17:40 |
| migi | I <3 Ubuntu, thanks airtonix, MASARUwota and everyone else who helped me. Everything works fine now. :) | 17:40 |
| devnull_ | just frustrated as hell that I only have problems with my hardware since 8.10 and up | 17:42 |
| nightfrog` | devnull_: such as? | 17:42 |
| frojnd | I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS does support for this version last untill 2013? | 17:43 |
| lengend_ | what plays .m3u files??? | 17:43 |
| devnull_ | lets see DVD playback .. USB support is iffy at best now ... whch i blame on HAL i suppose ... ATI fglrx is gone because of the new xserver | 17:43 |
| frojnd | I have ubuntu 8.04 LTS does support for this version last untill 2013? or what? | 17:43 |
| switch10_ | lengend_: that is a playlist file for winamp | 17:44 |
| devnull_ | and no it isn't a hardware issue because it al works fantastic in older versions | 17:44 |
| migi | devnull_, did you upgrade every time to the newer versions? Reinstalling - even though it's a pain - can work great | 17:44 |
| om26er | frojnd, is it sever? | 17:44 |
| devnull_ | migi | 17:44 |
| devnull_ | i am about ready to | 17:44 |
| frojnd | om26er: yes | 17:44 |
| frojnd | om26er: server | 17:44 |
| devnull_ | I did a fresh 9.04 and downgraded the Xserver ... than just wiped it and went back to 8.10 | 17:44 |
| om26er | frojnd, then yes | 17:44 |
| devnull_ | I was hoping 9.10 would fix the usb issue and my ATI issues but it has not ... just made them worse | 17:44 |
| frojnd | om26er: fantastic | 17:44 |
| frojnd | I just have problem connecting to the network | 17:45 |
| migi | devnull_, my 9.04 once broke and instead of trying to fix it I just installed a new 9.10, and all problems were gone | 17:45 |
| switch10_ | lengend_: and xmms will play them... | 17:45 |
| lengend_ | ok | 17:45 |
| devnull_ | migi .... i can only hope that would be my answer | 17:45 |
| \bMike\b | Is installing ubuntu on a mac likely to work well? | 17:45 |
| switch10_ | lengend_: tetom might as well... | 17:45 |
| bazhang | !xmms | lengend_ switch10_ | 17:45 |
| ubottu | lengend_ switch10_: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 17:45 |
| switch10_ | totem** | 17:45 |
| migi | devnull_, I can't promise anything though... Don't kill me if it doesn't solve things | 17:46 |
| sweetandy | \bMike\b: I run linux on an intel mac and two powerpc macs, linux works great. | 17:46 |
| devnull_ | yea the fresh 9.04 is the first time I noticed any problems with my computer | 17:46 |
| switch10_ | xmms2* | 17:46 |
| lengend_ | i do have audacious | 17:46 |
| uwe | hi | 17:46 |
| devnull_ | migi: no prob | 17:46 |
| uwe | I have a question to rsnapshot backups | 17:46 |
| zeitlos | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoDjYAfIR94 | 17:46 |
| devnull_ | and no matter what I do from 8.10 I can't get any DVD playback which is a pain ... and this is 2 serperate computers with drives that work great | 17:47 |
| om26er | devnull_, i don't know how to get it fixed in karmic someone might know. but you might be able to help yourself by reporting that bug at bugs.launchpad.net so that this might get fixed in Lucid. | 17:47 |
| migi | devnull_, do you have an external home directory? If so, you don't have to lose any of your data and/or settings | 17:47 |
| sweetandy | \bMike\b: You just have to be careful. I dual-boot OS X and linux on my intel mac, but it took some time to get right. | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | devnull_: did you run the dvdcss script? | 17:47 |
| devnull_ | CShadowRun, yes i did | 17:47 |
| \bMike\b | sweetandy: what problems did you run into? | 17:47 |
| devnull_ | I followed evreything | 17:47 |
| devnull_ | i mean evrything | 17:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, it is not about not taking your advise it is that I believe that is very unlikely since its completely random i.e. days/weeks/months etc. | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | devnull_: blame the industry for putting lame encryption on things :) | 17:47 |
| devnull_ | migi: hehe ofcourse 12 years of linx did teach me that much :) | 17:47 |
| devnull_ | CShadowRun, I DO | 17:47 |
| CShadowRun | hehe | 17:48 |
| devnull_ | i hate the DVD industry and their bullshit | 17:48 |
| Tw|sT | Anyone here know if kde-3.5.10 will be available for the 10.04-LTS release? | 17:48 |
| sweetandy | \bMike\b: Getting the bootloader right. I would look into the parted magic LiveCD to make your partitions for Linux before putting in the Ubuntu disc. Also, look into rEFIt, an improved bootloader for intel macs. | 17:48 |
| devnull_ | we are lucky they haven't installed chips into our computers to stop us from burning yet | 17:48 |
| devnull_ | sorry | 17:48 |
| devnull_ | I have to remember the language | 17:48 |
| uwe | I used rsnapshot and performed 3 hourly backups but each of them has the complete size | 17:48 |
| devnull_ | 2 strikes | 17:48 |
| vinnie_ | is there a way to see a history of everything ive installed? | 17:48 |
| lengend_ | wine + winamp simple fix | 17:48 |
| lengend_ | lol | 17:48 |
| Tw|sT | I guess I need to pull the source for it | 17:49 |
| LjL | devnull_: actually they have, a trusted computing chip together with an appropriate operating system can achieve that... | 17:49 |
| uwe | I think it made full backup an not with links as it should do for unchanged Folders | 17:49 |
| migi | devnull_, is it because of the DRM? or no dvd's at all work? | 17:49 |
| devnull_ | ljl i figured as much | 17:49 |
| devnull_ | migi: no DVD playback on any DVD at all | 17:49 |

| Seveas | hello Fabrice | 17:50 |
| Fabrice | i have a problem can anyone help me | 17:50 |
| devnull_ | but that isn't my main concern ... i am more worried with all this USB enumeration in my log files that only started in8.10 | 17:50 |

| om26er | !help | Fabrice | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Fabrice: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Fabrice: 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. :-) | 17:50 |
| om26er | lol | 17:51 |
| Seveas | Fabrice, as you can see, we are all eager to help :-) | 17:51 |
| devnull_ | ljl that looks like one that I have followed ... sorry for the typing .. my display is so laggy I am a minute ahead of my screen | 17:51 |
| devnull_ | how i hate ATI with the most passion | 17:51 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: me too... | 17:51 |
| om26er | devnull_, throw it out? | 17:52 |
| devnull_ | and another note ... I do blame the industry for the DVD issues ... but if windows can read it Linux can ... and if Linx isn't reading it than it is a Ubuntu problem | 17:52 |
| devnull_ | internal readeon express 200m on my Laptop | 17:52 |
| Fabrice | Okay i m a new ubuntu user and i love it. But my w-lan signal is very low. With Windows XP i have 75% and with ubuntu i don get a signal. When i took my laptop and go to my rooter i have 20%. With Windows XP i have next to my modem 100% | 17:52 |
| om26er | devnull_, ohhh | 17:52 |
| devnull_ | om26er, yea i wish i could replace it | 17:52 |
| devnull_ | how i wish :) | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | devnull_: ive seen some quirks with the player programs accessing dvd's if i mount them and tell the player to 'play the directory' they can play them. Not sure what the deal was with it. in 9.10 i had the issue.. then it started working properly | 17:53 |
| om26er | Fabrice, which version of ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: i have the same card... 200m. works great with 9.10's open source drivers | 17:53 |
| Nero-Wolf | Fabrice: This could be due to a few things. Have you tried an older/newer driver for your particular card? Also, have you searched the forums for help with your particular card model? | 17:53 |
| devnull_ | switch10_, radeon ? | 17:53 |
| Seveas | om26er, do you have actual problems with the wlan connection or is it just that the signal strength seems too low? | 17:53 |
| devnull_ | Dr_Willis, if i could mount the dvd i would be happy | 17:53 |
| Seveas | err, Fabrice ^ | 17:53 |
| devnull_ | this is all before mounting | 17:53 |
| Fabrice | Oh my card is intern, i have a Acer Extensea 5230E | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | devnull_ i also had a odd quirk where i installed with a flash drive installed.. and the dvd device /dev/XXXX was some how confused with the one of the usb device in the fstab | 17:53 |
| devnull_ | before layers | 17:53 |
| Fabrice | I have the version 9.10 | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | devnull_: if you cant even mount it. thats a deeper issue then | 17:53 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: xpress 200m in my laptop... | 17:54 |
| devnull_ | switch10_, awesome I can only hope | 17:54 |
| om26er | Seveas, me or Fabrice as i am not the one with the problem | 17:54 |
| Fabrice | And no i don try a other driver becouse i dont know how to install this | 17:54 |
| Fabrice | Yes many have the problem in differents forum | 17:54 |
| Fabrice | s | 17:54 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: put in a 9.10 live CD it worked for my by default!! | 17:54 |
| om26er | Fabrice, are you having any internet performance problem ? | 17:54 |
| devnull_ | I will be wiping and reinstalling later i suppose ... this is remind me of my wiindows days fo formatting all the time .. i don't like that in linux | 17:54 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: first ubuntu distro to do that.. | 17:55 |
| devnull_ | switch10_, i have had the open source working fine in 8.10 once | 17:55 |
| devnull_ | switch10_, i like the sound of that | 17:55 |
| Fabrice | Yes i have a w-lan problem with my Computer the internet works perfekt | 17:55 |
| Fabrice | perfect | 17:55 |
| switch10_ | devnull_: yeah i struggled with them in 8.10. there is a new driver now though.. | 17:55 |
| devnull_ | Dr_Willis, yea there is something up ... it sounds like the DVD reading libs are not installed but I have installed them multiple times | 17:55 |
| devnull_ | switch10_, yea in 9.04 it made my system crawl | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | devnull_: but to read them as a data disk.. theres no real libs needed. Does the disk read normal dvd data disks yuve made? how about data cd's ? | 17:56 |
| devnull_ | Dr_Willis, the drive reads everything but Movie DVDs | 17:56 |
| devnull_ | I burn DVD's every day | 17:56 |

| devnull_ | maybe a region issue ... but i can't use regionset because it doesn't recognize any dvds | 17:57 |

| devnull_ | ci have udf support | 17:57 |
| devnull_ | i have css installed | 17:57 |

| xover | has anyone taken the ubuntu 199 UCP exam? | 18:04 |
| guntbert | vonadhz: please tell us which file you want to copy to /boot | 18:04 |
| george__ | vonadz: why dont u try sudo chmod code /boot | 18:04 |
| Surlent777 | Well, I learned something: Don't make a /tmp filesystem thing to speed up firefox like the Internet tries to tell you, because it messes up screen, tor, localhost in general, apparently, and gpm. Does anyone feel they could assist me in fixing this? I think suspect most of it is permissions issues of some sort | 18:04 |

| om26er | i installed ubuntu(9.10) on my friends emachine and on another netbook dell a1011. jockey offered to install drivers so i installed the open-source rebooted and wifi did not work. but properietry driver worked on both machines | 18:04 |
| ubottu | george__: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 18:04 |
| burzki | still at is gotmilk82 | 18:04 |
| vonadhz | i want to copy a picture | 18:04 |
| vonadhz | I am testing something | 18:04 |
| switch10_ | xover: what is that? im taking compTIA's linux+ soon.. | 18:04 |
| george__ | ok | 18:04 |
| vonadhz | and it wont let me copy the picture | 18:05 |
| xover | how many exams are there for linux+? | 18:05 |
| om26er | Surlent777, simply use chromium | 18:05 |
| oCean_ | xover: please take non-technical issue to #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:05 |

| gotmilk82 | yeah...got it all installed again and for some reason it is complaining that the disk maybe going bad....Its fine if I just install ubuntu normally....very strange. only in wubi | 18:05 |
| Surlent777 | om26er: That's not the point. At all. And I have Chromium. And Opera, and about five others =/ | 18:05 |
| guntbert | vonadhz: type sudo cp <yourpicture> /boot (you are asked for your password) | 18:06 |
| floating | Trying to mount a digicam to my pc. I put my canon powershot on, it shows the first image in the memory on the screen and freezes there. In windows it would switch to black screen and some transfer mode. I check sudo fdisk -l, but I cannot see it, what should i do | 18:06 |
| hlfshell | i have a command that accesses hardware that is requiring sudo (it used to not before i updated to 9.10). How do I make it so that the command no longer requirees sudo? | 18:06 |
| blakkheim | hlfshell: /etc/sudoers | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | hlfshell: edit the sudoers file properly where the command wont need a sudo password (best way) or.. (bad way) set the suid bit on the program. | 18:06 |
| vonadhz | okay | 18:07 |
| hlfshell | how do i edit the file? | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | hlfshell: very very very carefully. :) | 18:07 |
| Surlent777 | hlfshell, gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | and make a backup | 18:08 |
| Surlent777 | yes | 18:08 |
| Surlent777 | do that | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm i think its best to use the visudo command | 18:08 |
| hlfshell | well i know that - but whats the syntax is hould be using? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !visudo | 18:08 |
| guntbert | Surlent777: use visudo to edit the file | 18:08 |
| Surlent777 | visudo - edit the sudoers file | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | hlfshell: thers web sites/docs that detail the syntax. they should give examples you can modify | 18:08 |
| Surlent777 | it's in the name, must be useful | 18:08 |
| hlfshell | thanks guys | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a LOT more to 'sudo' then 'the command ya run to get root acesss' :) | 18:08 |
| vonadhz | hey | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | it said this | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | sudo is hashed (/usr/bin/sudo) | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | cp is /bin/cp | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | bash: type: tuxy.tga: not found | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | bash: type: /boot: not found | 18:09 |
| FloodBot2 | vonadhz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:09 |
| Surlent777 | yeah, it's also "the command you use to destroy your system" =) | 18:09 |
| slipx | msg nickserv identify d9iea9ul | 18:09 |
| blakkheim | slipx: nice one | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: trying to set a wallpaper for your grub2 menu? | 18:09 |
| vonadhz | yes | 18:09 |
| Surlent777 | ...okay guys, I know it's tempting, but let's be nice | 18:09 |
| oCean_ | slipx: oops. I recommend changing your password | 18:10 |
| vonadhz | his | 18:10 |
| vonadhz | <vonadhz> sudo is hashed (/usr/bin/sudo) | 18:10 |
| vonadhz | <vonadhz> cp is /bin | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: i just edited the proper /etc/grub.d file and give it a complete path to a file i named 'grubimage.png' in /boot/ the way they do the syntax/path is a bit annoying. | 18:10 |
| guntbert | !pastebin | vonadhz | 18:10 |

| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: it dosent have to be a .tga file. | 18:10 |
| vonadhz | so how do i do it? | 18:10 |
| Surlent777 | are you trying to change your picture on grub or grub 2? Doesn't like, startupmanager do that for you? | 18:11 |
| vonadhz | oh | 18:11 |
| vonadhz | so how do i do it | 18:11 |
| vonadhz | can u tell me the commands | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | i saw some tutorial/guide on making grub2 automatically use whatever wallpaper the (main) user selected. :) | 18:11 |
| Surlent777 | yeah it's a scipt | 18:11 |
| Surlent777 | script even | 18:11 |
| vonadhz | this is the pic name | 18:12 |
| gotmilk82 | guess I will start over from scratch...not sure why MS win 7 decided to make two partitions: everything and 256MB partition....weird | 18:12 |
| vonadhz | /home/tejas/Pictures/tx.jpg | 18:12 |
| Surlent777 | also I may be thinking of KGrub and not StartupManager | 18:12 |
| TheCheeze | startupmanager does it too Surlent777 | 18:12 |
| vonadhz | ? | 18:12 |
| Surlent777 | not for grub2 | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | gotmilk82: win7 makes a special 'boot' type partition. that must be the smaller one. (i am guessing() | 18:12 |
| Zargle | i still can't hear from my spekaers :'( | 18:12 |
| vonadhz | grub 2 | 18:12 |
| frankely | hey, how can i open an power point 2007 presentation in openoffice? | 18:13 |
| switch10_ | Zargle: what have you tried? | 18:13 |
| Surlent777 | frankely, by opening it, correcting any weird artifacts, and then I think it works pretty much as you'd expect | 18:13 |
| vonadhz | hey | 18:13 |
| Oilut | where can i get help for virtualbox ? | 18:13 |
| oCean_ | Oilut: join #vbox channel | 18:14 |
| frankely | i've opened one but a lot of stuff doesnt work | 18:14 |
| Zargle__ | anyone running steam? | 18:14 |
| Zargle | anyone have a working steam? | 18:14 |
| twig11 | I need help troubleshooting my internet connection after installing and uninstalling Dansguardian. I can't get online now with either Firefox or Epiphany. Fortunately, IRC still works. | 18:14 |
| gotmilk82 | ah, I gave up on windows years ago, but my company wants it on the machine...so I thought I would try wubi. I guess I could just give up and do a true dual boot, but I like the idea of being able to share part of the drive with windows with wubi | 18:14 |
| Surlent777 | frankely: I think when you save in PP07 you need to use something other than the default save format, come to think of it =/ | 18:14 |
| Oilut | thansk | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: i normally change in /etc/grub.d/ 05_debian_theme the line --> {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} to be somthing like.... {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/grubimage.png | 18:14 |
| switch10_ | Zargle: right click on your speaker and go to sound preferences. make sure ubuntu is detecting your hardware | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: then i can just change the grubimage.png file as i want | 18:14 |
| vonadhz | lol i dont get it | 18:15 |
| lolmac | hi, i wanted to install a bz2 file, but after i extract it, what do i do? | 18:15 |
| frankely | the fact is | 18:15 |
| frankely | that i get those files for my college | 18:15 |
| vonadhz | im a ubuntu noob | 18:15 |
| frankely | and i need to read them | 18:15 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: that depends | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: then you may want to readup on the grub2 wiki pages.. or not worry about it at this time | 18:15 |
| vonadhz | can u send me a pastebin url | 18:15 |
| vonadhz | with the commands | 18:15 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: on what is in the archive | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: not really.. all i did w3as edit that one file to givbe it a proper path to a png file. | 18:15 |
| Surlent777 | frankely: Yes, that could be an issue...I'd suggest scouring google to see if anyone else knows what to do =/ | 18:15 |
| lolmac | oCean_: it`s quassel irc | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: and thats about all i did. | 18:15 |
| vonadhz | u cant send me the commands??? | 18:15 |
| dtoole | I'm running into an issue with evolution where it is prompting to setup my accounts and I already have. I just resolved a full /home issue but I have checked and found evolution files within my .config folder. Can someone help me to reassociate the config files or fix this issue? I am afraid of setting up the same accounts again and losing my previous settings/files. | 18:15 |
| lolmac | oCean_: i can`t use ./configure | 18:16 |
| twig11 | Where should I start in troubleshooting a system broken by a messed-up install of Dansguardian? | 18:16 |
| frankely | the common result in google is use wine | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: i dident use any commands.. i edited the file and changed the path on like 51 | 18:16 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: quassel is in repos | 18:16 |
| frankely | n i dont want emulate nothing :( | 18:16 |
| oCean_ | !info quassel | lolmac | 18:16 |
| ubottu | lolmac: quassel (source: quassel): KDE4/Qt based, IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.0-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 701 kB, installed size 2504 kB | 18:16 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: can u tell me it | 18:16 |
| lolmac | oCean_: i downloaded it throught the developpers site | 18:16 |
| al_X | Help! my sound does not work on karmic | 18:16 |
| dtoole | no evolution guru's here yet? | 18:16 |
| lolmac | because in ubuntu software center it was so slow | 18:16 |
| lolmac | the download | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: tell you what? i just told you what the line sort of looked like.. and how i changed it.. | 18:17 |
| lolmac | can`t i install this b2z file? | 18:17 |
| vonadhz | wat line? | 18:17 |
| dtoole | btw... is it licensing that keeps ubuntu from just using thunderbird as its default mail client? | 18:17 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: maybe you can, but keep in mind that possible dependencies are not resolved | 18:17 |
| switch10_ | al_X: go to sound preferences and see if your hadrware is detected | 18:17 |
| Surlent777 | lolmac: a bz2 file? Source code? Why not just install it normally? | 18:17 |
| vonadhz | wat line Dr willis | 18:17 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: also, the HOWTO on building and installing should be on the site where you downloaded the sources. | 18:18 |
| lolmac | ahh, oCean_ one other thing, the driver that is in ubuntu center of nvidia is 185, but on nvidia site, theres 190, is there any problem if i install the version from the site, ? | 18:18 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: "sudo apt-get install quassel" and you are ready to go | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: the line i pasted above that gives a path.. line 51 | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: $ sudo vi /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | edit line 51 | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | oops not 51... let me count | 18:19 |
| al_X | yep I've got an amd64 and audigy 16 modprobe says the snd_emu10k1 is loaded | 18:19 |
| oCean_ | lolmac: no one claims that latest is greatest. Go with what the ubuntu repositories offer, and *then* you can ask here for more support. | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | oops not 51... let me count line 16 | 18:19 |
| Surlent777 | Dr_Willis: Gedit and vim should be able to tell you what line you're on | 18:19 |
| dtoole | lolmac: unless you know what you are doing (which if you are asking you don't) I would stick to what is in the synaptic repositories. Trying to build, configure and install stuff like that from source (especially drivers (double especially closed source video drivers)) is hard | 18:19 |
| lolmac | oCean_: | 18:19 |
| lolmac | okay | 18:19 |
| lolmac | thanks | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Surlent777: i read the wrong # :) it has 51 lines total.. heh | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | if [ "$GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT" = "gfxterm" ] ; then | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | for i in {/boot/grub/grubimage.png} ; do | 18:19 |
| Surlent777 | ah, I see | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: then you edit /boot/grub/grubimage.png as you want. | 18:20 |
| dtoole | anyone here able to help with lost evolution configs? | 18:20 |
| gps23 | I have run command "echo </dev/null", now I am getting a visible ^C in gnome-terminal whenever I type control-C there. how can I correct that? | 18:20 |
| marti17 | I have install Ubuntu 9.10 and now are my screen resolution on 640x480 and i can't change it .. In Ubuntu hardy i had a higher screen resolution... | 18:20 |
| dtoole | It keeps prompting me to setup accounts... but they are already setup. | 18:20 |
| vonadhz | hey | 18:20 |
| al_X | hey switch10 mine's an amd64 issue and ideas? | 18:20 |
| Surlent777 | gps23, did you try Ctrl-D? | 18:20 |
| vonadhz | so i found the final | 18:20 |
| blakkheim | marti17: check video driver | 18:21 |
| gps23 | Surlent777, ControlD is working fine, it closes the gnome-terminal | 18:21 |
| nozzy | Hi | 18:21 |
| Oasa | hi | 18:21 |
| marti17 | blakkheim: I'm sorry do i do that? | 18:21 |
| lolmac | oCean_: if i`m installing a program throught ubuntu software center, i can`t use apt-get right? | 18:21 |
| nozzy | I'm trying to try out the 64 bit version of ubuntu, booting straight from the cd | 18:21 |
| blakkheim | marti17: what video card do you have? | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lolmac: that is just another front end to the apt-get system | 18:21 |
| Oasa | lolmac : u can use dat | 18:21 |
| guntbert | lolmac: not at the same time - but else... | 18:21 |
| nozzy | but it asks for a username and password | 18:21 |
| Dracofodder | I have an odd thing happening with my sansa fuze. sometime in the last week or so, it stopped showing up with the fuze icon, and is now showing as usb device icon. (this is on ubuntu 9.10) IS this something to worry about? I am able to transfer files to it via gpodder, and I havnt seen anything else. but, was just curious if this is a known issue I should be concerned about. | 18:22 |
| Oasa | lolmac : u can use yaeh nt at d same time but u can use dat.. | 18:22 |
| guntbert | !u | Oasa | 18:22 |
| ubottu | Oasa: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 18:22 |
| nozzy | I'm trying to try out the 64 bit version of ubuntu, booting straight from the cd, but it asks for a username and password. Blank/blank and admin/admin doesn't work. How do I get in? | 18:22 |
| marti17 | blakkheim: Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 | 18:22 |
| dtoole | lolmac: I think I have heard the software center is painfully slow as well. I would cancel my download there and use aptitude on cli or synaptic | 18:22 |
| Oasa | guntbert : i am sorry.... | 18:23 |
| lolmac | dtoole: | 18:23 |
| lolmac | thanks | 18:23 |
| lolmac | it is | 18:23 |
| Oasa | gunbert : i didnot read d code of conduct. thank you | 18:23 |
| blakkheim | marti17: look at the "hardware drivers" in the system menu and see if anything is listed there to choose from | 18:23 |
| riverbird | could use some help cleaning up some partitions, if possible. 120gb hdd w/ 2 linux distros @ about 10gb, some swap, and the rest undeclared, but split into three peices. wonder if there is a way to clean this up any - or even necessary? | 18:23 |
| marti17 | Blakkheim: I have the latest Nvidia driver .. | 18:23 |
| dtoole | lolmac: no problem... i haven't had too many issues but I have been hearing its performance is inexplicably slow. | 18:23 |
| nozzy | What is the password to tryout hte 64 bit version???? | 18:23 |
| Surlent777 | nozzy, what are you talking about? booting from a cd should not ask for a password | 18:24 |
| blakkheim | marti17: then run gnome-display-properties and see if you can change it | 18:24 |
| nozzy | it does ask for a password | 18:24 |
| nozzy | booting from the cd asks for a password. | 18:24 |
| dtoole | anyone able to help me fix evolution asking me to setup accounts when I already have accounts setup? | 18:24 |
| marti17 | Blakkheim: In terminal? | 18:24 |
| blakkheim | marti17: yes | 18:24 |
| nozzy | surlent, i hit enter at "Try out ubuntu without changing anything" and five minutes later when it's loaded from the cd, it asks for a password. | 18:25 |
| Surlent777 | nozzy, I think you downloaded the wrong thing. I have a copy of the 9.10 x64 CD. I used it to (re)install. It does NOT need a password. I suspect you got a bad file =/ | 18:25 |
| brandon | i've got a problem | 18:25 |
| blakkheim | nozzy: it should autologin after about 10 seconds | 18:25 |
| nozzy | i got it from the website, the 64 bit version. | 18:25 |
| lolmac | dtoole: when i use sudo apt-get install software, the software will be installed in the dir i'm in or elsewhere in the system? | 18:25 |
| Surlent777 | nozzy, go back to the site and look for the md5 hash...compare the two | 18:25 |
| Surlent777 | instructions should be on the site | 18:25 |
| blakkheim | lolmac: where the .deb file tells it to be installed to | 18:25 |
| Dracofodder | nozzy, found this | 18:25 |
| Dracofodder | sometimes a LiveCD might ask you for a user-name or password. Just leave these blank and press enter or allow it to time-out. Or try | 18:25 |
| Dracofodder | Usernane: ubuntu | 18:25 |
| Dracofodder | Password: {hit-Enter-key} | 18:25 |
| FloodBot2 | Dracofodder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:25 |
| At0m1sK | hello, I am having an issue after I installed a system update today on ubuntu 9.10; all of my services ( http, ftp, ssh, mysql ) are not starting automatically and my boostrap is displaying the following message -> "Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing". can anyone help me with this issue? | 18:26 |
| nozzy | ah thank you | 18:26 |
| lolmac | blakkheim: alright, thanks | 18:26 |
| Dracofodder | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-9-10-iso-cd-dvd-images.html | 18:26 |
| nozzy | so username ubuntu, and no password | 18:26 |
| nozzy | ill try to see if that works (computer at remote location) | 18:26 |
| gps23 | someone please tell me how can i correct echo | 18:26 |
| dtoole | lolmac: if you're in terminal I just learned aptitude (not apt-get) is a "better" command to use, don't understand 100% but just an FYI. To answer your question it will install the software where it is supposed to go... your directory doesn't matter | 18:26 |
| brandon | i have an issue myself about nautilus not starting when i click a link in my places bar | 18:26 |
| marti17 | Blakkheim: I have tried but no i can't .. But I think is wierd because in ubuntu hardy i could have a resolution up to 1080.. | 18:26 |
| marti17 | Blakkheim: And higher | 18:27 |
| brandon | Could not open location 'file:///home/brandon/Documents' No application is registered as handling this file | 18:27 |
| dtoole | lolmac: I would use synaptic if I were you. It is still gui like software center and performs very well | 18:27 |
| VCoolio | gps23: what are you trying with echo? | 18:27 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, it's better because it keeps track of dependencies better; one side effect is that if you uninstall a package and it detects that no other apps are using libraries that were installed with it, it removes them, too | 18:27 |
| gps23 | VCoolio, echo is displaying visible ^C on doing Ctrl-C since i accidently did echo</dev/null | 18:27 |
| blakkheim | marti17: i don't have much experience with nvidia cards so i can't be of much more help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia check that page | 18:27 |
| marti17 | Blakkheim: Ok thank you | 18:28 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: Is apt-get an older protocol (or program or whatever) than aptitude? | 18:28 |
| === jose is now known as Tio_rico | ||
| Surlent777 | dtoole, that much I am ignorant of =/ | 18:28 |
| Dr_Willis | dtoole: they do the same jobs. apt-get is the grandfather I guess ya can say. :) it hink | 18:28 |
| ipnk | aptoncd doesnt list all the packages i have installed | 18:28 |
| Surlent777 | probably | 18:28 |
| ipnk | only the recent ones | 18:29 |
| guntbert | dtoole: they are different front-ends for the same database | 18:29 |
| dtoole | Dr_Willis: Thanks... was curious about that | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ipnk: it checks the cache. I think you can tell apt-get to redownload the packges if you wanted tio | 18:29 |
| brandon_ | can anyone help me? | 18:29 |
| grayghost | somehow I set the the desktop background to a slide show of pictures from space ... and I don't know how I did it ... would like to duplicate on another computer .... HOW. | 18:29 |
| Surlent777 | I'm curious to know how to fix screen, gpm, tor, and localhost in general =/ | 18:29 |
| VCoolio | dtoole: apt-get doesn't remove dependencies when you remove an app, you also need to apt-get autoremove; aptitude does remove deps and has a cli interface | 18:29 |
| dtoole | guntbert: I guess what I don't understand is why they aren't equivalently effective then | 18:29 |
| ipnk | how to do that | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | grayghost: theres a xml file in the directory where teh images are. that defines the changeing times | 18:29 |
| Surlent777 | grayghost, if you look at the backgrounds, you'll notice one is space and has a play button, if using 9.10. This is normal | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | grayghost: see this url for another example --> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/natgeowalls-creates-xml-wallpaper-set.html | 18:30 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, same reason that IE and Firefox are both browsers, front-ends to the internet, and yet don't always work the same | 18:30 |
| grayghost | thanks | 18:30 |
| guntbert | dtoole: because they were written by different people/groups with slightly different ideas about how things should work | 18:30 |
| dtoole | VCoolio: WOW... I didn't realize if you just ran aptitude it brought up a terminal GUI... learn something new everyday! Thanks | 18:30 |
| gotmilk82 | Dr_Willis: I am guessing that Wubi (ubuntu 64amd) is not working with Windows 7 very well yet. ;) | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | gotmilk82: ive never heard the phrase 'wubi and working well' together. :) | 18:30 |
| Surlent777 | hahaha | 18:30 |
| riverbird | could use some help cleaning up some partitions, if possible. 120gb hdd w/ 2 linux distros @ about 10gb, some swap, and the rest undeclared, but split into three peices. wonder if there is a way to clean this up any - or even necessary? | 18:30 |

| Surlent777 | riverbird, I did that once by dragging stuff around in gparted very carefully...took a few tries... | 18:31 |
| twig11 | Help! I can only get online through IRC, so I can't google this. I installed Dansguardian-gui and it didn't work like it was supposed to, but it reconfigured my network settings so none of my browsers can get online. I removed danguardian-gui and tinyproxy, which was installed with it, but something's broken in my configuration and I don't know enough to fix it. I really need some assistance. | 18:31 |
| brandon_ | and i have nautilus for sure | 18:31 |
| dtoole | guntbert: Surlent777: Dr_Willis: Any chance any of you might be able to help resolve an issue with evolution I'm having? It's asking me to setup an account when I have already set them up. I just recovered from a full /home partition and I'm not running into this issue... am afraid if I setup new accounts they wont reflect or will overwrite the old configs | 18:31 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, the wallpaper controller in gnome really ought to have another button there for creating those xml files from a selection of images... | 18:32 |
| oCean_ | brandon_: what happens when you type "nautilus", nothing else | 18:32 |
| dtoole | I'm now* | 18:32 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, just run from the desktop? what about the partition you're running from .. maybe boot into the one i dont need to change? | 18:32 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, use a recent LiveCD | 18:32 |
| Surlent777 | or LiveUSB | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | dtoole: i never use evolution. sorry | 18:32 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, same. Best I can say is make sure everything's in .evolution or wherever it goes and has the right permissions =/ | 18:33 |
| brandon__ | it keeps disconnecting me | 18:33 |
| brandon__ | xchat | 18:33 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: what happens when you type "nautilus", nothing else | 18:33 |
| gotmilk82 | Dr_Willis: just to check, you have heard ubuntu or kubuntu and 9.10 working well together, right? ;) | 18:33 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, i have that. that will allow me to partition w/o doing an install? | 18:33 |
| guntbert | dtoole: same here - sorry | 18:33 |
| brandon__ | and i'm on here 2 times | 18:33 |
| ipnk | how to tell aptget to redownload the packages, so that aptoncd shows all the applicantions. presently it lists only the recently installed ones | 18:33 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, yes, just open gparted from System > Admin | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gotmilk82: i got ubuntu and kubuntu desktops both installed on this machine right now. | 18:33 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird: and be very very careful | 18:33 |
| brandon__ | nautilus opens when i put that in terminal | 18:33 |
| gotmilk82 | Dr_Willis: as dual boot? | 18:34 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: now right-click a folder and choose Open with other application, and choose File Browser | 18:34 |
| brandon__ | but i also get an error | 18:34 |
| brandon__ | Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed | 18:34 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, you must install the packages with Synaptic before APTOnCD can see them. | 18:34 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: nevermind that | 18:34 |
| mac9416 | Ipeer, oh, you want to re-install them. Hmmm... | 18:35 |
| dtoole | Dr_Willis: thanks guys... Appreciate the advice | 18:35 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, gparted is in the apps menus on the liveCD? ok -- how about doing the same from a mounted partition? this is all on a practice machine i'm trying to get set up right, just not off to an organized start .. | 18:35 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: you to :) | 18:35 |
| twig11 | How do I unlock proxy settings for Firefox 3.5 in Karmic? | 18:35 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, np, sorry I couldn't help...I'm actually learning mutt right now | 18:35 |
| brandon__ | i was trying to clean up my applications menu and i may have deleted something | 18:35 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, never do stuff like this on a mounted partition, ever. Do it from the LiveCD/USB | 18:35 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: not even sure what mutt is :) | 18:35 |
| jumbers | Is there a way to go through several hundred files and automatically find and replace a specific word? | 18:35 |
| brandon__ | but your previous advice worked oCean | 18:36 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: have you tried as i said ? | 18:36 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: aha! | 18:36 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, mutt is a CLI based mail client that's retardedly complicated =) | 18:36 |
| ipnk | mac9416: yes i did all of them through synaptic or using apt-get install, but it shows only the recently installed only and not all of them previously installed | 18:36 |
| brandon__ | yes i got it thanks :) | 18:36 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, got it. thx. will give a go. | 18:36 |
| brandon__ | what did i do to mess it up? | 18:36 |
| oCean_ | brandon__: not sure about that | 18:36 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, also, what I was doing was basically moving partitions around and it was crazy and messy. Be sure you're ready for frustration and high risk | 18:36 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: sounds like the perfect thing to learn then (sarcastic) why mutt? why not something less complicated? you looking for the flexibility? | 18:36 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, right, it deletes them after one month. Use 'aptitude download <package>' to get them regardless of whether they are installed. | 18:36 |
| brandon__ | i still get that failed thing when i put it in terminal | 18:37 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, I'm looking for the geek cred =D Also I was bored and it seemed like a neat project | 18:37 |
| brandon__ | should i put it on the forums? | 18:37 |
| oCean_ | jumbers: it is possible. You might need to script a little though | 18:37 |
| iMatter | Network Manager in jaunty will not connect to my WEP secured network, it just does the circle thing for 2mins then re-requests the password, and i keep typing it directly off the box yet nothing happens...so its leaving me with no ability to connect to my Network... | 18:37 |

| blakkheim | jumbers: sed/awk/cut | 18:37 |
| iMatter | i've even tried restarts same issue | 18:37 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: ah, you a programmer at all? | 18:37 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, No, but I really want to learn | 18:38 |
| lolmac | how can i "see" whats in apt-get? | 18:38 |
| grawity | lolmac: see how exactly? | 18:38 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: there's some useful geek cred ideas to devote time too (possibly instead of obscure mail programs ;) | 18:38 |
| blakkheim | lolmac: aptitude search <string> or dpkg --get-selections | 18:38 |
| lolmac | grawity: if a program is there | 18:38 |
| lolmac | thanks | 18:38 |
| twig11 | Where does Karmic store Firfox proxy settings? | 18:39 |
| dtoole | lolmac: I have said it multiple times... SYNAPTIC | 18:39 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, I'm working on that right now by figuring out how to recover after a failed experiment in making firefox use /tmp (RAM) for the cache | 18:39 |
| grawity | lolmac: In the repository? apt-cache search, aptitude search, synaptic. | 18:39 |
| grawity | lolmac: Installed in the local machine? dpkg -l | 18:39 |
| brandon__ | thanks oCean I'm going to put this other error on ubuntuforums and see if they have an idea. | 18:39 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: ooh... I was thinking about that same project | 18:39 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, basically gpm, screen, and localhost hate me now | 18:39 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, also tor | 18:39 |
| dtoole | Surlent777: OT or pm? were not really on topic here :) | 18:40 |
| ipnk | <mac9416> but it starts downloading, that means to let it go to a place from aptoncd look into, i will have to download all the packages again, this isn't possible for me, is there any other way. | 18:40 |
| Surlent777 | dtoole, if you think you can help, by all means, please try. If not, I'm fine with PM | 18:40 |
| gotmilk82 | Dr_Willis: do you have ubuntu and kubuntu as duel boot or are you running them in Virtualbox or something | 18:41 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, I'm afraid not really. APT deletes downloaded package files after a month. | 18:41 |
| jumbers | oCean_: Found it: http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/linux_search_and_replace_multiple_files.php | 18:41 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, what really got me into this was two things. first was that the two linux distros put themselves at opposite ends of the disc. second was that i downsized swap significantly and now i have about 2gb of loose change free space floating around and disconnected from the rest of the open space. and i would like to stick in a /home partition somewhere .. | 18:41 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, if you want a simpler interface, you should look at Keryx. It's purpose is to download packages and dependencies for installation offline. I assume that's what you're shooting for. | 18:42 |
| ipnk | <mac9416>but thanks anyway, i came to know as to why the initial packages were not listed there | 18:42 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, that's similar to what my situation was, and the way I resolved it was to drag stuff around, up and down, forcing the unallocated space into something. It was really weird and I can't describe it too well | 18:42 |

| jmyers | What is the name of that multimedia package ubuntu won't include in its standard repositories because of legal issues? | 18:42 |
| [-jon-] | has anyone ran quotas on ubuntu before? is there a large overhead associated with running them? | 18:42 |
| Surlent777 | jmyers, ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 18:42 |
| At0m1sK | can anyone help me out, i update ubuntu 9.10 today and all my daemons are no auto starting up! | 18:42 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, cool, why were they missing? | 18:42 |
| jmyers | Surlent777: that doesn't sound like it, had something to do with multimedia | 18:43 |
| gotmilk82 | to use 9.10 64bit or not use 64bit, that is the question? Did the compatibility for 64bit get better in 9.10? | 18:43 |
| iMatter | jymers: isn't it ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 18:43 |
| oCean_ | jumbers: aha, nice. I just pasted http://pastebin.com/m73db8049 as a very straightforward example | 18:43 |
| riverbird | Surlent777, thanks for the front end advice. think i'll go readup 100 wikis .. ;-) | 18:43 |
| ipnk | <mac9416>i meant you just told me that apt deletes them after a month, (if i got right what you said)! | 18:43 |
| Surlent777 | jmyers, that package has a ton of multimedia codecs | 18:43 |
| oCean_ | jumbers: just be sure to backup the files before trying when you're not 100% sure :) | 18:43 |
| jmyers | iMatter: It could be, got a link to a wiki to install it? | 18:44 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, ah, OK. Yes, that's what I meant. | 18:44 |
| jumbers | oCean_: I did, but it worked perfectly :P | 18:44 |
| jmyers | Surlent777: yeah, the one with all the multimedia codecs, that's the one. | 18:44 |
| Surlent777 | riverbird, good luck dude...just experiment a little with tugging it around and see if you can figure out what I mean. Be careful, and maybe take screenshots as you go for reference | 18:44 |
| ipnk | <mac9416>ok, then. | 18:44 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, sorry the news is no better than that. | 18:44 |
| ipnk | <mac9416>ok. | 18:44 |
| iMatter | jymers: not exactly a wiki but...close enough: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/5-things-to-do-after-installing-jaunty.html | 18:45 |

| Surlent777 | jmyers, google around for medibuntu. That might help you a lot. | 18:45 |
| jmyers | Surlent777: YESS, medibuntu was it. | 18:46 |
| mac9416 | ipnk, roger. Look into Keryx if you can't find anything better. | 18:46 |

| Surlent777 | jmyers, that was unexpected. I didn't know they had their own site; I was expecting some helpful blogs | 18:48 |
| blakkheim | At0m1sK: change which daemons autostart in an easy interface | 18:48 |

AND, I'm sitting on a fresh install, because that's usually easier than doing a lot of research or forum/irc channel trolling trying to get an answer how to fix what I just broke. ;) | 18:51 |

| dimitar | what is better kde or xfce? | 19:04 |
| Surlent777 | dimitar, that's very subjective | 19:05 |
| blakkheim | dimitar: matter of opinion | 19:05 |
| ctmjr | decomp505: have you rebooted or logged out since you deleted the file? | 19:05 |
| Sattvic | Blakkheim: where do I enter the version I want? | 19:05 |
| Surlent777 | dimitar, if you want my opinion, I prefer KDE | 19:05 |
| Surlent777 | rohedin, I think that's usplash | 19:05 |
| dimitar | Surlent,blakkheim i want your oppinions? | 19:05 |
| blakkheim | Sattvic: that upgrades everything to the latest. you might need to do it multiple times since you are skipping multiple versions of ubuntu. it might just be easier to wipe and do a clean install of 9.10 | 19:05 |
| MikeChelen | !best | 19:05 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:05 |
| rohedin | So it's still usplash in 9.10? OK, thanks. | 19:05 |

| === Guest33856 is now known as Sharker | ||
| dimitar | XFCE eats minimal memory | 19:09 |
| dimitar | then GNOME | 19:09 |
| Surlent777 | usually, I think | 19:09 |
| dimitar | and KDE eats the most memory | 19:09 |
| dimitar | :D | 19:09 |
| Surlent777 | yeah, usually, I think | 19:09 |
| geekback | SandGorgon what did openoffice do now! | 19:09 |
| twig11 | VCoolio: Unfortunately my proxy settings are locked, so I can't change them through the network preferences gui, and since my browser is broken, I can't look it up online. | 19:09 |
| blakkheim | xfce only uses a little bit less than gnome. if you want less memory usage you shouldn't be using any desktop environment. | 19:09 |
| jmyers | Surlent777: To each his own I presume. They are all very familiar, just minor differences. Or they were years ago when I was into linux more heavily. | 19:09 |

| Typh | I was trying to change the placement of the notifications. They really need to use a config file :/ | 19:24 |
| Surlent777 | Typh, There's a page that describes how to do that by building it from source | 19:24 |

| daf_ | Surlent777 - that is what I was hoping would be an easier way. I normally spend hours trying to find the error on google. I was wondering if there was a way to know by the error msg or some comand that would tell you what dependencies are missing without some cryptic error. | 19:26 |
| niter3 | I'm getting soft lockup - cpu#0 when coping files from my ubuntu system over the network. It basically craps out.. | 19:26 |

| lolmac | i have this problem with network manager when i configure pppoeconf, it shows a message "not managed" | 19:32 |
| jmyers | LewisDre4m: WORST case scenario, if you have a windows installation cd, is to install Virtual Box, install windows in that, and try to run your usb tv stick thru that. | 19:32 |
| LewisDre4m | ye I guess. | 19:32 |
| LewisDre4m | it just seems as if ubuntu doesn't even recognise my usb thing at all. | 19:32 |

| jmyers | blakkheim: I think he misunderstood me. I told him to install wine for the libraries, to see if it would recognize his usb tv stick after he installed WINE, not the drivers. | 19:48 |

| blakkheim | LewisDre4m: if your tv tuner card only has windows drivers, it isn't going to work in ubuntu | 19:49 |
| LewisDre4m | blakkheim: ignoring the wine thing why do I get a message saying no "host usb 2.0 port on this computer" | 19:49 |
| blakkheim | LewisDre4m: trying to install the drivers in wine is totally wrong though | 19:49 |
| jmyers | LewisDre4m: the only way youre going to be able to use the actual driver disk, is to install virtual box, and then install windows under virtual box, THEN install your windows drivers for your usb tv stick there. | 19:49 |

| KMASTR3 | hello. when i boot from the live cd, after the loading screen, all i can see are blinking vertical lines. i think it's using the wrong screen res. how can i resolve this? | 20:12 |
| matts45acp | can someone tell me how to veiw the list of people on this channel, its not on the side. im in xchat | 20:12 |
| Meshezabeel | rob_p: my issue is that I cannot access the server when my cpu is being heavily used, hence the force shutdown. I can run top just fine when it is working fine and there is nothing really noticeable, hence I am looking for logs. | 20:13 |
| blakkheim | matts45acp: view -> user list (or something like that) | 20:13 |
| guntbert | matts45acp: ctrl f7 | 20:13 |
| Typh | matts45acp: put your mouse over near the side, it's probably dragged closed | 20:13 |
| Dr_Willis | matts45acp: theres a bug in xchat where the 'nick list panel' is sometimes 'moved all the way iover to the right' - look for a little 'handel' and see if you can drag it to the left to make it a little wider. | 20:13 |
| rob_p | Meshezabeel: I see. Well, perhaps you can find something in the system logs located in /var/log. | 20:13 |

| === Sharker is now known as Guest43510 | ||
| seme | guntbert, I mean it looks cool but not sure how it applies to upstart? | 20:44 |
| terlop | i typed (actually copy&pasted) exactly as you typed | 20:44 |
| wgrant | lgc: Aha. What if you just run 'firefox' in a terminal? | 20:44 |
| lgc | wgrant, lemme check. | 20:44 |
| jac0 | AyCarumba, right click anyfile wit the extention ull see "open with wine loader" ...blah blah.... | 20:44 |
| wgrant | lgc: Make sure you close all Firefox windows before doing that. | 20:45 |
| guntbert | seme: sorry, wrong link, it should be http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 20:45 |
| seme | guntbert, thanks... yeah I saw that... | 20:45 |
| ardnew | terlop: I recommend you place the line in the file "~/.bash_profile" | 20:45 |
| ardnew | and instead of using the relative path, use the line export PYTHONPATH="/home/youruser/Desktop" | 20:45 |
| seme | oddly though it looks like for some reason the commands don't also work with old sysv jobs | 20:45 |
| ardnew | @ terlop | 20:45 |
| lgc | wgrant, same thing. But it's been happening since yesterday or so. And I haven't messed with any settings. | 20:46 |
| wgrant | lgc: ls -l `which firefox` | 20:46 |
| lgc | wgrant, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-12-18 18:09 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.5. | 20:46 |
| terlop | in what file does the variable PYTHONPATH go when i do export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/Desktop" ?? | 20:46 |
| lgc | wgrant, only thing I did is install Chrome. | 20:47 |
| ardnew | terlop: it can go in several different files. placing it in .bashrc is fine and will continue working for every new instance of bash you start | 20:47 |
| zelrikriando | hello | 20:47 |
| zelrikriando | (again) | 20:47 |
| terlop | ardnew, i don't know how to edit .bashrc | 20:48 |
| wgrant | lgc: OK, close all your Firefox windows, and ensure that there are no firefox processes at all running (ps aux | grep firefox). | 20:48 |
| terlop | i am affraid i'll break anything | 20:48 |
| guntbert | terlop: it goes in no file by itself - its just in memory | 20:48 |

| wgrant | lgc: How did you start it before? | 20:51 |
| knightrage | Typh: for me, ccsm | 20:51 |

| phantomsv | anyone knows how to convert rmvb to avi in ubuntu9.10? | 20:52 |
| seme | ok so I'm a little confused... if, for instance, I want to stop apache from starting by default in any runlevel I should just do... service apache2 stop && update-rc.d apache2 disable | 20:53 |
| seme | is that right? | 20:53 |
| VCoolio | phantomsv: why don't you install realplayer? | 20:53 |
| wgrant | lgc: That will happen if there are any other Firefox 2.0 processes running. Try closing all the windows again, making sure nothing's still running, and then launch via all those methods. Firefox does a strange thing where it communicates between instances of itself, so it will always launch the version that is already running. | 20:53 |
| seme | and if it is, then will it remove the actual /etc/init.d/apache2 script or just the rc?.d K and S scripts | 20:54 |
| === Guest17373 is now known as Sharker | ||
| phantomsv | VCoolio, i want to convert it. | 20:54 |
| seme | also then what is the point of the /etc/default/apache2 option for it not to start? | 20:54 |
| seme | sorry if this is confusing but the docs are just not clear | 20:54 |

| dtoole | whats the difference between adm and admin | 20:54 |
| dtoole | groups | 20:54 |
| wgrant | dtoole: adm is there for historical reasons. I think it pretty much just allows access to logs, these days. | 20:55 |
| naxa | hardy. copying an 500 mb file, from ide ext3 to ide ntfs with cp is very slow, 10 KB/s. no other process access the ntfs. however, it is very slow to even complete an "ls" command. ext3 works very fast if copying to itself, it's ok. also, the ntfs is ok under win xp. what could be the problem with the ntfs? how could i solve it? | 20:55 |
| wgrant | dtoole: admin lets people use sudo and other admin tools. | 20:55 |
| VCoolio | phantomsv: mencoder seems to be able to do it | 20:55 |
| === luist_ is now known as ltcabral | ||
| dtoole | ok... so I'm thinking I should chown a backup partition to the admin group... would that be a good choice? | 20:56 |
| rob_p | seme: It's "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove" if you want to remove it from the startup. Apache2 and it's startup script are still installed but removed from the runlevels. | 20:56 |
| dtoole | wgrant: or would you recommend a different group | 20:56 |
| lgc | wgrant, OK, that makes "sense", if I can call it that. I'm removing 2.0 now since it won't do much good. | 20:56 |
| mcdermmn | is there a easy way to find out how many block group a partion has without mounting it? | 20:56 |
| wgrant | lgc: Welcome to the world of Firefox insanity! | 20:56 |
| wgrant | dtoole: admin is probably a reasonable choice. | 20:57 |
| seme | is that the right way to manage the services? I mean then what is the point of the /etc/default/jetty having a NO_START option? | 20:57 |
| seme | or is this just more inconsistency... meaning each package kind of does things differently | 20:57 |
| lgc | wgrant, that's why I'm switching to Chrome, with its KISS approach. But mine doesn't display PDFs (just a black tab). It's a beta release. | 20:58 |
| rob_p | seme: If you want to add it back to the startup, do the following: sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults | 20:58 |
| VCoolio | phantomsv: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104161 explains some stuff, seems sensible | 20:58 |
| dtoole | can someone explain this one to me: # chown root:admin My\ Passport/ | 20:58 |
| dtoole | chown: changing ownership of `My Passport/': Operation not permitted | 20:58 |
| wgrant | lgc: I use Chromium. When I navigate to a PDF, it downloads it as I would expect. | 20:58 |
| seme | rob_p: thanks... any insite on the /etc/default stuff? | 20:58 |
| wgrant | dtoole: You can only chown if you are root. | 20:58 |
| seme | I'm just trying to understand | 20:58 |

| Viking667 | Really quick question: where do I find out how to map sounds to events? | 21:06 |
| dtoole | lgc: the package name will be chromium-browser | 21:06 |
| seme | rob_p, thanks... yeah I've beengoing through the man pages... haven't figured it out yet but thanks for your help | 21:06 |
| CrocoJet | many things change in 9.10 if compared with 9.04 about video ? | 21:06 |
| Viking667 | I'm trying to find a sound file for the "Alert" event, but I've no idea where to loo. | 21:06 |
| Viking667 | look. | 21:06 |
| wgrant | dtoole: Taking advantage of a naming thing? Chromium BSU was around for many years before Chromium or Chrome were thought of. | 21:06 |
| ardnew | wgrant: no | 21:06 |
| rob_p | seme: You must be on a RH distro... | 21:06 |

| Viking667 | there isn't on. | 21:07 |
| illuminati | does anyonw know why suddenlty I can not see the connection LISTENING. If I do netstat -putan I only see ESTABLISHED conection but not LISTEN. It's very wirdo | 21:07 |
| lgc | wgrant, what's the chromium-daily PPA? | 21:07 |
| Viking667 | one. | 21:07 |

| rob_p | seme: I use service on CentOS systems I administer. | 21:07 |
| dtoole | wgrant: ah, wasn't aware. I figured the maintainer of the bsu game just saw a popularity oportunity... was very odd that it would be allowed but that makes more sense (that the game was the grandfather) | 21:07 |
| Viking667 | i.e. I have System, Preferences, just no ... sound. | 21:07 |
| wgrant | ardnew: Ah. Are you using the proprietary drivers? If not, it's still an Ubuntu bug. | 21:07 |

| Viking667 | Nope. Definitely no "Sound" category in "System->Preferences" | 21:10 |
| Oilut | suigeneris: its like `chown -c login /media/Tulio (/media/Tulio is the folder) | 21:10 |

| rob_p | kashhh: In reality, Linux is Linux. There are subtle differences among the various distros but when you know one, you know them all. It comes down to how much experience you have with Linux, as to which one you should start with. | 21:12 |
| Oilut | suigeneris: nicee | 21:12 |
| TuxthePenguin | If I change to a new login screen (I'm on 9.04) will it be possible the screen is to big and I can't log in? | 21:12 |

| wgrant | TuxthePenguin: That's right. But the kernel has a kill-whatever-is-running-here-really-hard shortcut built in. | 21:14 |

| guntbert | TECNOPATA: find it? | 21:16 |
| fixer_33 | suigeneris : yeah, I've got, but the problem is no permission for acces to the folder | 21:16 |

| lgc | wgrant, now when I try and run Chromium Chrome appears. | 21:16 |
| TECNOPATA | no,... | 21:17 |
| yo_rmn | We always need to send /msg NickServ identify? or we can automatize That? | 21:17 |
| wgrant | Typh: By default, the one with the newest version. If they are the same version, the one listed first in sources.list wins. | 21:17 |
| ardnew | gdiz: then connect to the remote server using ssh -X | 21:17 |
| TECNOPATA | guntbert: no i cant find that | 21:17 |
| wgrant | yo_rmn: Most clients have an option to automate that. | 21:17 |

| suigeneris | fixer_33 check if dir has permissions 755 | 21:17 |

| yo_rmn | thx | 21:18 |
| suigeneris | Oilut shouldn't matter | 21:18 |
| ardnew | gdiz: but I dont understand why are you trying to view hulu streams from a remote machine on your local machine | 21:18 |

| steve380 | I am using the latest ubuntu and my video and audio is buggy....anyone else experience this?? | 21:21 |
| wgrant | jmyers2: The open source drivers are installed and used by default. But the version in Ubuntu 9.10 is not sufficient for 3D acceleration on recent cards. | 21:21 |
| ardnew | gdiz: otherwise, just control the ubuntu machine via ssh like I suggested | 21:21 |

| ikus060 | Hello, I don't find flahs very stable using an 64bits opperating system. Is any one else experiencing something similar ?? e.g.: clicking on button doesn't work, need to reinstall it often | 22:00 |
| suigeneris | Oilut usershare owner only = false, not the one you have right now | 22:00 |
| Foxerious | Ubottu is correct. | 22:00 |
| aoeuhtns | DaZ, I don't understand, the option was there, why did they have to go and break it?! | 22:00 |
| psilva | Just saying, not discussing anything. | 22:00 |
| apn | ikus060: yes | 22:00 |
| Foxerious | Flash isn't stable in Ubuntu... Ever... | 22:00 |
| Oilut | suigeneris: my file is like: #======================= Global Settings ======================= [global] netshare owner only=false ## Browsing/Identification ### | 22:00 |
| DaZ | aoeuhtns: because it was old and they want it new. | 22:00 |
| aoeuhtns | every new ubuntu release seems to break something that worked fine before... | 22:00 |
| Oilut | suigeneris: i changed for owner.... | 22:01 |
| CrazyC | Suzanne what was your standard | 22:01 |
| ikus060 | apn: So there nothing to do ?? | 22:01 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: 1280x800 | 22:01 |
| Berzerker | how do I add a link to a file so that I can run it in any folder without the filepath or ./ | 22:01 |
| Foxerious | It's really hard to understand anyone here... | 22:01 |
| aoeuhtns | also, how do you log out without using the mouse | 22:01 |
| CrazyC | Suzanne and it isnt fine with that? | 22:01 |
| CrazyC | Suzanne What do you want to change? | 22:02 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: I don't think the resolution is the problem. | 22:02 |
| DaZ | Berzerker: you have to add the directory to $PATH | 22:02 |
| arand | ikus060: using the native flash64 downloadable from adobe labs is normally better. | 22:02 |
| Berzerker | DaZ, where is that | 22:02 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: The entire system seems to refuse to use the graphics processor to do any work. | 22:02 |
| ikus060 | arand: oki, I will try this. Thanks | 22:02 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: I just want a driver to run the stupid chip. | 22:02 |
| DaZ | Berzerker: in the shell as a variable. | 22:02 |
| Berzerker | DaZ, what file is that stored in | 22:03 |

| CrazyC | What Linux are you using/ | 22:03 |
| arand | !flash64 > ikus060 | 22:03 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: Since ATI abandoned its customers to "legacy" support, the prop. driver doesn't work, and the communities solution doesn't appear to be working on my system at all. | 22:03 |

| DaZ | Berzerker: PATH=$PATH+"directory" | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: ok there was someone here lastnight or whatever, with a similar issue | 22:04 |
| DaZ | and maybe use export | 22:04 |
| Berzerker | DaZ, I got it, thanks, export PATH=$PATH:/path | 22:05 |
| suzanne | sebsebseb: Did they find a solution? | 22:05 |

| PauloFreitas | s/I have/I had | 22:05 |
| suigeneris | !pastebin | Oilut | 22:05 |

| CrazyC | Suzanne I agree with him | 22:06 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: you might be thinking 8.04, but that's old, well yeah it is, but it's a good release, and long term support, it has over a year of support left, unlike 9.04 for example | 22:06 |
| suzanne | CrazyC: So the solution is reversion? | 22:06 |
| DaZ | sebsebseb: but it's old | 22:06 |
| AakashPatel | Is it just me, or does pidgin-facebook chat not work? | 22:06 |
| fear | Hey can anyone help me with a printer problem? | 22:06 |
| suigeneris | !ask | fear | 22:07 |
| CrazyC | Its maybe a driver problem | 22:07 |
| ubottu | fear: 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. :-) | 22:07 |
| tonyyarusso | AakashPatel: The version in the repos with Karmic indeed does not. Use the upstream version. | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: DaZ with Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest it's about what is still supported. Also with graphics card it's also to do with the version of xorg, not just a driver. | 22:07 |
| AakashPatel | tonyyarusso: "upstream" verison? | 22:07 |
| arand | aoeuhtns: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/437429 for workaround disabling login sound. | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: plus if you want later stuff on 8.04, you can install later stuff yourself, later versions of Firefox etc. | 22:07 |

| DaZ | sebsebseb: i don't think older xorg would break newer software right now | 22:07 |
| AakashPatel | Ah | 22:08 |
| danny | Just a quick question: if I purge Firefox, will it remove my profile? | 22:08 |
| wgrant | danny: No. | 22:08 |
| AakashPatel | What version did it break at? | 22:08 |
| AakashPatel | did/does* | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: ATI do not support Desktop Linux properly, Nivida for example has very good support | 22:08 |
| DaZ | so using a year and a half old system just because of xorg is wrong. | 22:08 |
| tonyyarusso | AakashPatel: You may also need to do some funny business to get it recognized - let me know if it works after installing that package and restarting empathy. | 22:08 |
| CosmicHippo | AakashPatel: It works but it can still be a bit buggy. But seeing as how Facebook chat barely works ON facebook sometimes, it's as good as can be expected | 22:08 |
| === Guest24064 is now known as Sharker | ||
| tonyyarusso | (unless you're actually using pidgin) | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | DaZ: doesn't matter if it's that old, it's still suported, that's the point, and it's still a good release | 22:09 |
| fear | alright i am running the ubuntu boot disk "try without changes" feature on my windows 2000 pc. I am going around trying to see if it is what I want to do, i think it is, but I went to set up a printer and print a test page but when it printed test page it said it printed succesfully but nothing came out of printer like it never got to it. Is it because I am just running the trial and it is not fully installed yet | 22:09 |
| wgrant | sebsebseb: Yet they don't support RandR 1.2... | 22:09 |
| AakashPatel | tonyyarusso: well see, i'm using pidgin on the n900 with maemo | 22:09 |
| suzanne | sebsebseb: Well, were there a way to rip the ATI off the main board and replace it, that would be nice. | 22:09 |
| AakashPatel | so..i guess i'll need to recomile the new version | 22:09 |

I am going around trying to see if it is what I want to do, i think it is, but I went to set up a printer and print a test page but when it printed test page it said it printed succesfully but nothing came out of printer like it never got to it.

| strixv | wgrant, normally, but gvim uses the old school x file dialog | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | DaZ: uhmm? | 22:13 |
| strixv | wgrant, so no ctrl+h | 22:13 |
| wgrant | strixv: Ah, I use the one with proper GNOME support. | 22:14 |

I could just copy it with gnome but it seems silly that I can't just save it with vim | 22:16 |

| danny | suigeneris ahh, I forgot the sudo apt-get part | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: unless ATI them selves make proper drivers and that | 22:17 |
| PacketCollision | fear: seems it should be supported by gutenprint driver, which afaik is included in live CD | 22:17 |
| CrazyC | Well Im heading out, Peace | 22:17 |
| suzanne | sebsebseb: If I can't diagnostically determine precisely what the support issue is, how will I know when they (opengl/edge) fixes it? | 22:17 |
| suzanne | *fix it | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: reverse enginering hardware support is a rather difficult and time consuming thing, for developers to do | 22:17 |
| rix_ | suigeneris: thanks, but nobody answers there. Thanks anyway.. | 22:18 |
| fear | PacketCollision: Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature | 22:18 |
| suzanne | sebsebseb: I understand that, hence the lag in support. This /is/ and older system though. | 22:18 |
| wgrant | suzanne: Open source ATI support will be much better in Ubuntu 10.04. I'd try again then. | 22:18 |

| sebsebseb | suzanne: ok well in this case, this is a good idea, put 8.04 on for now :) then when April comes and 10.04 comes out, you can directly upgrade to it, but you won't get Ext4 on upgrade, and probably not Grub 2 either. If you want those probably easier to clean install, then install Grub 2 after woulds, and convert Ext3 to Ext4, resulting in something that may not be quite the proper thing. | 22:20 |
| fear | PacketCollision:Do you think it is because it is not yet installed but is instead running on the "try without any changes" feature | 22:21 |
| wgrant | sebsebseb: But neither GRUB2 nor ext4 are particularly important. | 22:21 |
| suzanne | Not for my purposes, anyway | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | wgrant: I assume that's ok, for me to say, that they won't get Ext4 on a 8.04 upgrade? even though of course I don't 100% know for sure, but I highly doubt it will happen on upgrade. | 22:21 |
| wgrant | sebsebseb: That's correct. | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | suzanne: also what wgrant put Ext4 and Grub 2 aren't particularly important anyway | 22:21 |

| Omen_20 | Banshee. It has some major issues and has been getting worse over the past week. I completely removed it in Synaptic and reinstalled it. It came back as if nothing had changed. It was not a fresh start like it should have been. | 22:43 |
| jsoft | wgrant: Already have. No worky. | 22:43 |
| blakkheim | Coolest_Loser57: k3b is a good program for that | 22:43 |
| wolter | tritium, well, i will use it for both installed and non-installed packages | 22:43 |
| wgrant | jsoft: 'no worky'? | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: ok the .folders in home | 22:43 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | blakkheim:K3B? | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: the hidden .folders in home | 22:43 |
| wolter | can somebody tell me how to make use of notify-osd from the terminal? | 22:43 |
| blakkheim | Coolest_Loser57: aptitude install k3b | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: that is where program user data goes | 22:43 |
| jsoft | wgrant: yes thats right, it does nothing for firefox. | 22:43 |
| === Guest76286 is now known as Sharker | ||
| tritium | wolter: you'll have to use apt-file for non-installed packages. You can use dpkg for installed packages. Neither cover both use cases. | 22:44 |
| DaZ | blakkheim: and a half of kde? <: | 22:44 |
| === Sharker is now known as Guest78821 | ||
| Omen_20 | There isnt one for Banshee | 22:44 |
| wolter | tritium, thats fine.. I can use each depending on the case | 22:44 |
| blakkheim | DaZ: true, but he didn't say what DE he was using. i wanted to choose something i thought would be easy for him to use | 22:44 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | blakkheim: aptitude? i found it in the Ubuntu software center.. it syas it only works for cds, i can burn cds, i need to burn dvds | 22:44 |
| blakkheim | Coolest_Loser57: you could try something else then. doesn't brasero do dvds? | 22:45 |
| DaZ | blakkheim: iirc works for dvds. | 22:45 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: yeah I just seen, on another distro right now, but should be the same as Ubuntu for the Banshee stuff, i'll have a look to see if I can find something hold on | 22:45 |
| synx | so, still no luck with the liveCD. The md5 of the iso checks out. The md5 of all the files on the mounted CD check out. | 22:45 |
| cuekbebek | hello | 22:45 |
| Omen_20 | sebsebseb, thanks | 22:45 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | blakkheim: yeh its supposed to, but it hangs up when its "converting" a movie to mpeg2 format | 22:46 |
| tritium | Omen_20: removing a package doesn't remove config files and preferences in your home directory. | 22:46 |
| arand | Coolest_Loser57: k3b can burn both. | 22:46 |
| Omen_20 | tritium, I figured Complete would do that. What is the difference between regular and complete then? | 22:46 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | arand: ok but can it burn FROM .AVI formats??? or do i also need a file converter? | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: ok new there was something. .cache and .config have Banshee stuff in them | 22:47 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | arand: im about to try it out, but its dling now, do you know if i can input .avi formatter movies? | 22:47 |
| DaZ | Coolest_Loser57: yes it can, and it makes great coffee too | 22:47 |
| blakkheim | Coolest_Loser57: are you sure it's hung up? converting takes a while depending on how fast your cpu is | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | Omen_20: if you delete the hidden folder for a program or move it some where else, .mozilla for example, then re open Firefox, it will be like you just installed it for the first time | 22:47 |
| Omen_20 | sebsebseb, thanks | 22:48 |
| Coolest_Loser57 | blakkheim: i've left it on for a couple horus before... shouldn't take htat long at all | 22:48 |

| matts45acp | anybody here know if the rtl8192se driver works on ubuntu with ndiswrapper | 23:06 |
| trukeyshoot | so certain proxies only allow you to connect to port 80 of sites? | 23:06 |

| d0wn | VCoolio: dpkg-reconfigure worked, and let me change from kdm to gdm. thank you | 23:09 |
| === Sharker is now known as Guest55697 | ||
| tritium | frojnd: apt-cache show <packagename>, and read the package descriptions. You should be able to determine which is appropriate | 23:09 |
| arand | d0wn: reinstalling, which might be equivalent of reconfiguring, can be done in synaptic. | 23:09 |

| AnmE | hay alguien por aquí??? | 23:36 |
| mgolisch | WinfredNg: did you boot some other os inbetween? | 23:36 |
| EricTheHax | i could if i had windows to run james' format tool | 23:36 |
| Hilikus | i'm trying to install nvidia-glx but it's telling me i have to explicitely select one of the 3: -96, -185, -173. i think i remember there's another program that automatically keeps up the latest version of the driver and it recompiles the module when needed. is this still valid or i now need to use nvidia/glx | 23:36 |
| EricTheHax | and had windows vista adapted to run within dos | 23:36 |
| EricTheHax | cause it only works for the machines original os | 23:36 |
| Hilikus | envy i think it's called | 23:36 |
| mgolisch | WinfredNg: especialy the madwifi drivers have problems with that, you may need to cold b oot your computer for the wifi to work again | 23:36 |
| mike3 | I have noticed recentely that my Ubuntu system locks up when transferring files. I'm getting Cpu Soft lock ups... Are others experiencing this as well? I may have to downgrade to 9.04 and not install any updates. :) | 23:36 |
| Hilikus | !envy | 23:36 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 23:36 |

| wolter | VCoolio, also, if you reply to my previous messages please pm so I don't lose them, ill be back in like 30 mins and that can feel my scroll buffer | 23:37 |
| mgolisch | WinfredNg: you could try reloading the kernel modules for the wlan interface | 23:37 |
| mgolisch | WinfredNg: and then look in dmesg if it prints any warninggs or errors | 23:37 |
| WinfredNg | mgolisch, Oh,,it happen each time when i hibernate. | 23:37 |
| EricTheHax | would 0514.bin be the fimware thing? besides, ive already upgraded my firmware to the latest which was yrs ago | 23:38 |
| WinfredNg | mgolisch, My Kernel is 2.6.32.1, it is new. | 23:38 |

| WinfredNg | mgolisch, Ok, I'll try, Thanks. Maybe it is ok. | 23:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Omen_20, easiest way to think about nice/renice would be "lowering process priority" | 23:40 |
| Hilikus | whats the difference between nvidia-glx-96 nvidia-glx-173 ? | 23:41 |
| Omen_20 | ZykoticK9, ok so on my system monitor, Nice would be low priority stuff? | 23:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Omen_20, you can use nice/renice to lower/raise process priority??? | 23:42 |
| xzachtmx | is it possible to put videos on your ipod touch with ubuntu, because when i plug it in it always loads up a gphoto2 thing and only lets me view my saved photos and nothing else, i removed gphoto but it still does it | 23:42 |
| WinfredNg | mgolisch,Thanks, It work. | 23:42 |
| IceGuest_75 | :] | 23:42 |

| mike3 | but I think there is a channel for that. #ubuntu-mythtv | 23:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Omen_20, i've been searching for an explanation of nice re:system monitor - couldn't find one... you can have a look at "man nice" doubt it has the info you're looking for though. good luck. | 23:48 |
| === Guest48226 is now known as Sharker | ||

| chiques | mike3, I want to download the latest iso for LMC but it's down. Do you know of any alternatives where I can get the latest version? | 23:51 |
| mike3 | I haven't played with LMC. I wonder how reliable it really is. | 23:52 |
| mgolisch | i used it some years ago | 23:52 |
| mike3 | I'd play around with mythtv. It's reliable once setup properly. | 23:52 |
| mgolisch | worked quite well | 23:52 |
| marcellus | While trying to upgrade to karmic gdm, compiz, etc. which led to upgrade of alsa etc. I lost my sound. It doesn't recgonize my Intel ICH10 family card anymore. Curiously enough I don't get any sound in Windows either, but I can't say for sure I had it, because I haven't really used the installation before. lspci lists the hardware, aplay -l says no soundcards. | 23:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | Omen_20, ya I opened my own System Monitor and saw a bunch of 0s and 1s for Nice - not sure what even that refers too - good luck man. | 23:52 |

| psycho_oreos | ghostlines, think mc does | 23:53 |
| mgolisch | that would be the job of the program doing the file copy operation | 23:53 |
| Omen_20 | ZykoticK9, yeah it is probably irrelevant to me since i never see that color in my graph. It was more just a spur of curiosity. But thanks for the help. | 23:53 |
| mgolisch | not your terminal | 23:53 |
| nossralsuva | ghostlines: when you use cp use the -v option, eg. cp -v source_file target_file | 23:53 |

| ghostlines | nossralsuva, thanks alot that's more then enough | 23:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | marcellus, what is your output of "uname -r"? most common problem with upgrading to karmic seems to be an issue with the kernel/grub not being updated properly (which often results in sound issues) | 23:54 |
| nossralsuva | ghostlines, no problem | 23:55 |
| mgolisch | cp -v? | 23:55 |
| jsoft | meow | 23:56 |
| mgolisch | i know gentoo had a patch for coreutils that added a -g iption for a progress bar, but ubuntu doenst have that | 23:56 |
| nossralsuva | mgolisch, cp -v, the v stands for verbose and if you want you could do it w/ recusive options on, so e.g. cp -rvf source_file target_file | 23:56 |
