| ubbe | cwillu_at_work, relax | 00:00 |
| LiteralKa | yeah, hopefully :P | 00:00 |
| edbian | LiteralKa: After you get everything installed again reboot and see if it makes a difference. | 00:00 |
| LiteralKa | okay | 00:00 |
| LiteralKa | thank you | 00:00 |
| edbian | LiteralKa: No Problem. Hardware detection is the biggest problem for linux imho | 00:01 |

| ubbe | Whizpopthat, any luck? | 00:01 |
| LiteralKa | yeah | 00:01 |
| Whizpopthat | ubbe: Where do i go from here, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ...it gave me no such file or directory | 00:01 |
| Whizpopthat | wait hold on lol | 00:01 |
| ubbe | Whizpopthat, sudo which ifconfig | 00:01 |
| cwillu_at_work | which ifconfig, you _don't_ need to use sudo for each command, and it _will_ bite you badly some day if you do | 00:02 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: Ok. Let's work that out together... What kind of device is that? USB wifi or integrated netbook device? | 00:02 |
| LiteralKa | i've been using tty for the past 24 hours | 00:02 |
| Circs | I have a G1 with USB tethering enables and my netbook runs 8.0. in 9.04 the tethering is supposed to be "auto-magic" is there a way to enable support for this tethering in 8.04? | 00:02 |
| Whizpopthat | Dell inspiron 1501 wireless card. | 00:02 |

| LiteralKa | yeah | 00:04 |
| LiteralKa | well | 00:04 |
| LiteralKa | here goes | 00:04 |
| * ubbe now we suggest third party wifi tools? | 00:04 | |
| cwillu_at_work | h0g4398h3, still there? | 00:04 |
| edbian | LiteralKa: I use debian because I was annoyed by Ubuntu updates messing things up. Although I do occasionally miss life on the edge | 00:04 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: download the Auto-NDISwrapper? | 00:04 |
| ilSoldier | hi | 00:05 |
| Hydrosis | lol, why was Seeker kicked? | 00:05 |
| ilSoldier | I need help | 00:05 |
| * nucc1 says so long and thanks for all the fish. | 00:05 | |
| Seeker` | Hydrosis: I wasn't | 00:05 |
| ilSoldier | is this correct? mount -o rw filename foldertomounto | 00:05 |
| LiteralKa | restarting | 00:05 |
| Hydrosis | Lysdexia kicked in, why did you kick that guy Seeker? | 00:05 |
| cwillu_at_work | Hydrosis, he did the kicking | 00:05 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: are you trying to mount an ISO ? | 00:05 |
| ilSoldier | no | 00:05 |
| ilSoldier | I'm trying to mount an ntfs partition on a hard drive | 00:05 |
| switch10_ | anyone have a good alternative to fspot and picasa?? I just read this, im done with fspot.. http://daniel-bartholomew.com/wordpress/2009/10/f-spot-considered-harmful/ | 00:06 |
| ubbe | ilSoldier, why did you write filename? | 00:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, it would be mount /dev/sdasomething /mount/point | 00:06 |
| Whizpopthat | ? | 00:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, if it's an image file, you'd need to add -o loop | 00:06 |
| ilSoldier | I've booted from ubuntu on my usb stick so I could fix up my xp os which is on my hard drive | 00:06 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: are you suggesting to download the Auto-NDISwrapper? | 00:06 |
| ubbe | minimec, does your wifi card show up in dmesg | 00:07 |
| arch---- | how do you prevent ubuntu LIVE from going into sleep mode? | 00:07 |
| arch---- | im in the process of DL'ing something and don't want it to get interruped | 00:07 |
| ubbe | Whizpopthat, does your wifi card show up in dmesg | 00:07 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: I would try that. I never had to use ndiswrapper as i try to only choose Linux compatible devices. But that sounds quiet interesting. Still... as your card is recognized as wlan0, I guess your card is working. You could also pastebin your dmesg (console 'dmesg'). There we could verify if your device gives some errors during boot... | 00:07 |
| edbian | I'm back. Sorry 'bout that | 00:08 |
| switch10_ | arch----: in power Management | 00:08 |
| edbian | Who's trying to mount something? | 00:08 |
| arch---- | how to get there | 00:08 |
| ubbe | minimec, if the card is working why would you install a third party tool which is for alternative drivers? | 00:08 |
| Snausages | switch10_: wow, that guy sure is upset about it... it's a bug in free software! guy ought to relax a lil. | 00:08 |

| cwillu_at_work | LiteralKa, can you give more description of what happened? | 00:13 |
| ubbe | Whizpopthat, make sure you see the wifi light lit up on your laptop | 00:13 |
| lun4tic | switch10_: different avi, mpeg and stuff none of them works | 00:13 |
| cwillu_at_work | LiteralKa, sounds like something that would happen if gdm died during an upgrade to karmic | 00:13 |
| edbian | LiteralKa: His mouse and keyboard did not work after switching to ubuntu 9.10 so I suggested hi purge and re-install HAL | 00:14 |

| Whizpopthat | Okay | 00:15 |
| teleri | ok, I'm on an Acer Aspire One D250 and after every boot up i have to wait about a minute before i turn the mouse pad on or else if i try any earlier it causes the whole keyboard, mouse, and mic to stop working intirly | 00:15 |
| lun4tic | i allready addet the medibuntu repository and installed gstreamer...ugly packages and w32codecs | 00:15 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: what's the url to download the firmware | 00:15 |
| JoeSomebody | if a game says ubuntu 8.04 does that mean 8.04 or higher, like in windowsland? | 00:15 |
| Hydrosis | JoeSomebody, no, but usually it will work. | 00:15 |
| edbian | JoeSomebody: Not explicitly but probably. | 00:16 |
| Whizpopthat | i just did it through terminal nevermind | 00:16 |
| JoeSomebody | :) | 00:16 |
| ubbe | Whizpopthat, looking closer ndiswrapper is recommended for your laptop | 00:16 |
| teleri | JoeSomebody: sometimes.. it's hit or miss | 00:16 |
| ilSoldier | how do you switch to root user in the command in line? | 00:16 |
| blakkheim | ilSoldier: sudo su | 00:16 |
| Hydrosis | ilSolider, use sudo | 00:16 |
| switch10_ | ilSoldier: sudo | 00:16 |
| teleri | JoeSomebody: which game in particular? | 00:16 |
| ubbe | Whizpopthat, http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/11/ndiswrapper-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html | 00:16 |
| switch10_ | ha | 00:16 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: "sudo <commandName>" is the method in Ubuntu | 00:16 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware ?!? | 00:17 |
| JoeSomebody | i was going to try Urban terror that Hydrosis was mentioning | 00:17 |
| Whizpopthat | I remember having that on my old version, I had to manually retrieve it that might be the issue | 00:17 |
| Shanthi | anyone reg: Amarok 2.2.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 00:17 |

| chaupham1990 | anybody help me? | 00:17 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: i found it already through terminal | 00:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, sudo -s will give you a root prompt, but you'll sleep sounder at night if you just use sudo <command> as necessary, it really does prevent mishaps | 00:17 |
| Hydrosis | JoeSomebody, Urban Terror works on all Ubuntu installs that I have ever used. Get the game and have fun, it's the best FPS for Linux, in my opinion. | 00:17 |
| edbian | How can i send a network message to all the users on my home router? | 00:17 |
| blakkheim | !repeat > chaupham1990 | 00:17 |
| ubottu | chaupham1990, please see my private message | 00:17 |
| ilSoldier | well I did sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /home/ubuntu/xp | 00:17 |
| ilSoldier | is that wrong??? | 00:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, did it say anything? | 00:17 |
| teleri | JoeSomebody: are you still there? | 00:17 |
| JoeSomebody | Hydrosis, ok , here i go ... | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ilSoldier: If you want read/write access use ntfs-3g | 00:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, generally you don't have to supply "-t <fstype>" | 00:18 |
| JoeSomebody | teleri, yes | 00:18 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: You probably want "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /home/ubuntu/xp" | 00:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, but what Dr_Willis said :p | 00:18 |
| Rolcol | Is there something wrong with the version of CUPS karmic has that does not allow me to print PDFs but is fine with postscript? | 00:18 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter wget will work? | 00:18 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: Typically you want to mount things in /media/<folderName> but that's really up to you | 00:18 |
| Rolcol | On this printer, anyway | 00:18 |
| ubbe | edbian, wall | 00:19 |

| blakkheim | Shanthi: what kind of ipod? | 00:19 |
| Gartral | JoeSomebody: hi, im the same as teleri, i can't find that game | 00:19 |
| edbian | ubbe: Can you be more specific? How do I get it to send to every local IP address? or just to a specific one? | 00:20 |
| Shanthi | blakkheim: 1st gen mini silver | 00:20 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: Try to follow the instructions. I guess that will do. If they want you to install that... then do it. | 00:20 |
| JoeSomebody | Urban Terror? http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Urban-Terror-Download-30754.html | 00:20 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: do you think i will need to reboot after i finish? | 00:20 |
| Hydrosis | The Urban Terror website is down right now. | 00:20 |
| ilSoldier | edbian I typed exactly what you typed | 00:21 |
| switch10_ | what alternatives are there to fspot and picasa?? | 00:21 |
| ilSoldier | a whole bunch of stuff came down showing all the options -v -h yada yada | 00:21 |
| Hydrosis | switch10_ I dont use either, so I cant answer that. | 00:21 |
| ubbe | edbian, udp broadcasting | 00:21 |
| switch10_ | Hydrosis: do you use a photo manager? | 00:21 |
| JoeSomebody | Hydrosis, got an error - Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: urbanterror-data (>= 4.1) | 00:21 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: Can you copy / paste what that was exactly? | 00:22 |
| ilSoldier | "so for the informational part. Next the mounting." | 00:22 |
| ilSoldier | wtf does that mean | 00:22 |
| edbian | ubbe: What would the command look like? | 00:22 |
| ubbe | edbian, its a c program | 00:22 |
| Hydrosis | JoeSomebody, I just said that the offical UrbanTerror site is down, so maybe you're trying to grab files from a dead server. | 00:22 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: That's the easiest thing 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' may work to, but it will cut your wired connection too ;) | 00:22 |
| ilSoldier | edbian I'm on another computer :-( | 00:22 |
| Whizpopthat | okay ill try it. | 00:22 |
| ilSoldier | ooo nm nm | 00:22 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: do you have the ntfs-3g package installed? | 00:22 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" | 00:23 |
| JoeSomebody | Hydrosis, you mean my version is too old? | 00:23 |
| edbian | ubbe: I'm just confused because the wall man page is just "wall filename" | 00:23 |
| ubbe | edbian, http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_use_udp_broadcast | 00:23 |
| edbian | ubbe: ooooooooooooooo | 00:23 |
| edbian | ubbe: ha ha, thanks! | 00:23 |
| ubbe | edbian, thats a python one but i've never tried that | 00:23 |
| edbian | ubbe: Is it in the repos? | 00:23 |
| ubbe | edbian, did wall send it to all pc's | 00:24 |
| Hydrosis | Where did you downlaod UrbanTerror from is the officail site is down, JoeSomebody? | 00:24 |
| ilSoldier | hah "can't find package ntfs-3g" | 00:24 |
| Pelo | evening folks | 00:24 |
| edbian | ubbe: no, that's what I'm trying to figure out how to do | 00:24 |
| JoeSomebody | http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Urban-Terror-Download-30754.html | 00:24 |
| Pelo | is there a command line ap to select restricted drivers ? | 00:24 |
| ubbe | edbian, try a udp broadcast | 00:24 |
| edbian | ilSoldier: Check your repos. | 00:24 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, jockey-text I believe | 00:24 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, thanks | 00:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, you can also just apt-get install the relevant packages, but knowing which ones you need is probably your problem in the first place ;p | 00:25 |
| ubbe | edbian, there might be a program but i know commercial firewalls can do it and so can a C program but i've never had a need for it | 00:25 |
| Hydrosis | That should have worked, JoeSomebody | 00:25 |
| ubbe | edbian, just curious what you doing? | 00:25 |
| ilSoldier | repos? | 00:26 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, I actualy know which ones, I think I ust apt-get installed nvidia-173* that should do it I think, don't you ? | 00:26 |
| edbian | ubbe: Messing with my brother! | 00:26 |
| ubbe | LOL | 00:26 |
| jamieleshaw | haha | 00:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, dkms status -> check for the relevant driver for your kernel | 00:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, might just need a reboot, yep | 00:26 |

| Hydrosis | JoeSomebody - http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6 | 00:27 |
| JoeSomebody | Hydrosis, i am on 9.10 | 00:27 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, I just saw dkms scroll by during the install I'M gonna assume it did the job | 00:27 |
| ubbe | edbian, wall is only on the same machine so it wont work for sending | 00:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, in that case, simply closing everything and restarting gdm might do the trick | 00:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | (if it doesn't, just reboot :p) | 00:27 |
| * Pelo finds doing the config of a command line system by remote a bit unnverving | 00:27 | |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, no gdm, that was the point of this little reinstall, old comp to be used as a media server (connected to the tv), I'M getting rid of everything but the bare essentials | 00:28 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, doing the same for a remote system that controls the gates of a bulk weigher is more unnerving :p | 00:28 |
| |black| | I have a question regarding Intel C2D E7400 | 00:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, then why do you need nvidia? | 00:29 |
| |black| | can any one help please? | 00:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | oh, _to_ be used | 00:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | |black|, just ask, don't ask to ask | 00:29 |
| |black| | nice | 00:29 |
| mmarc__ | hi | 00:29 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, I want hte proper video driver to run the tv , and the application I'M gonna be using to put .... stuff on the tv from the comp | 00:29 |
| |black| | mate I am just confused my processor is 64bit or 32bit? | 00:29 |
| mmarc__ | is it possible to install eclipse 3.4 (not 3.5) from repos for Karmic? | 00:29 |
| |black| | I know it supports 64 but is it native? | 00:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | |black|, if it supports a 64bit operating system, then it's 64bit | 00:30 |
| |black| | like will I get performance boost if I switch from ubuntu 32bit to 64bit? | 00:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | you can't install a 64bit os on a 32bit machine, it just won't work | 00:30 |
| JoeSomebody | Hydrosis, my first download was too quick (said complete but lied i think) this one should work 3% so far | 00:30 |
| Bob_Dole | All Core 2's are 64bit capable. | 00:30 |
| |black| | I know its supported | 00:30 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, do you know how to auto-login to a cli system and auto start apps ? | 00:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | probably, although some things will be more of a headache to get working (flash comes to mind) | 00:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, which, graphical stuff? | 00:31 |
| Real_Christmas | If I boot a Ubuntu Live CD and install openssh-server, then the user ubuntu hasn't got any password. How come? And what would happend if anyone try to connect to my computer using ubuntu@ip-address ? | 00:31 |
| |black| | so it guarentees that I wil get perform. boost? | 00:31 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| also, 64bit only boosts performance for some applications, but makes everything require a little extra ram. | 00:31 |
| Hydrosis | |mate|: open a terminal window and type "uname -m" without the quotation makrs. Tell me what it says | 00:31 |
| |black| | I think 2Gb is adequate for that? | 00:31 |
| switch10_ | Real_Christmas: the password on the live cd is blank | 00:31 |
| cwillu_at_work | meh, the additional ram usage really is negligable in most cases | 00:31 |
| ilSoldier | how do I get the ntfs-3g option for mounting? is it just my version of ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, from scratch , I want this box to start this one app when it boots, freevo , it requires x but I can manage that bit, | 00:31 |
| switch10_ | Real_Christmas: and the user name is ubuntu | 00:31 |
| |black| | is any one here with a core 2 duo? | 00:31 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, investigate xinit and company | 00:32 |
| JoeSomebody | i just got a used hp printer psc 1350 for a present, any chance of it working in linux? | 00:32 |
| Bob_Dole | ENcoding things, and compressing/decompressing are the main things to benefit from 64bit. Are you doing those things? | 00:32 |
| Pelo | ilSoldier, there is an app called ntfs-config I beleive, it'S gui , just install it and look for it in the menus | 00:32 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| *ENcoding things, and compressing/decompressing are the main things to benefit from 64bit. Are you doing those things? | 00:32 |
| switch10_ | |black|: do you have more than 3.5 gigs of ram? if so you will see a performance boost from using 64 bit. otherwise stick with 32 | 00:32 |
| JoeSomebody | i mean ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| Real_Christmas | switch10_: Yes, I know, but what will happend if anyone tries to connect using ssh ubuntu@ip-address when the password is blank? Will they get into my computer then? | 00:32 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, you'll want to use upstart jobs, which really are quite simple (you can use /etc/init/tty1 as an example, and look at the other ones as needed. Most of them are _way_ more complicated than they need to be however, due to their convertion from old-style /etc/init.d/ scripts) | 00:33 |
| adac | Is there a karmic skype deb on skype.com? | 00:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, blank passwords can't be used for remote logins by default | 00:33 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, I do coding and processor intesive work will it help, and I have 2gb but getting another 2gb stick is not a prob | 00:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | or any login for that matter | 00:33 |
| switch10_ | Real_Christmas: yup they could if you have an ssh server installed... | 00:33 |
| gui7 | ello | 00:33 |
| |black| | gui7, hi mate | 00:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | switch10_, no, they couldn't | 00:33 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Ok, nice to know. What would be the best way to get it working. Set a password for root? | 00:33 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| I don't actually know for that. it might, and the extra ram can be helpful. | 00:34 |
| minimec | adac: the debian/ubuntu package on the skype page does the job, as it is a 'static library version' | 00:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, switch10_, pam disables password authentication for accounts with no passwords by default | 00:34 |
| danopia | http://is.gd/5AAh1 | 00:34 |
| switch10_ | cwillu_at_work: why not? | 00:34 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: i'm sure i followed the instructions correctly and it may have failed lol. | 00:34 |
| JoeSomebody | hp printer just windows and mac on the website | 00:34 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: i'm going to try a reboot in a minute. | 00:34 |
| switch10_ | cwillu_at_work: ah ok | 00:34 |
| gui7 | anyone know what the easiest way to convert a .avi to a DVD is? i dont need any fancy menus or subtitles, i just need it to play on my (normal) dvd player :) | 00:34 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, coz I heard maybe a rumor, that 64bit is supported in C2D but not native (in hardware) | 00:34 |
| |black| | only thats y m confused | 00:34 |
| Pelo | ok thanks cwillu_at_work I'll look into that, I'll just try to get this box working properly for now , I can deal with the automated stuff later | 00:34 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: It's christmas. Maybe you get your gift ;) | 00:34 |
| adac | minimec, http://www.skype.com/intl/de/download/skype/linux/choose/ It says # Ubuntu 8.04 | 00:34 |
| adac | Ubuntu 8.10+ 32-bit | 00:34 |
| adac | Ubuntu 8.10+ 64-bit is it ok to take one of those THEN? | 00:34 |
| FloodBot2 | adac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:34 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: So it will not be possible to login using ssh without first setting a password for user ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| JoeSomebody | what are you all using for printers in linux? | 00:35 |
| newser | by any chance anyone knows how to test if a gps receiver is working with gpsd? | 00:35 |
| |black| | my only question is can any one tell me is core 2 duo better at 64bit than 32? | 00:35 |
| Whizpopthat | not quite christmas yet, 4:35 the 24th. | 00:35 |
| Real_Christmas | user ubuntu at a Live CD, I mean. | 00:35 |
| gui7 | is there an easier way to convert avi to dvd than this?: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/AVI_to_DVD | 00:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, yes, or installing an ssh public key in the /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys file, which is strongly preferred | 00:35 |
| newser | by any chance anyone knows how to test if a gps receiver is working with gpsd? or if the gps receiver is being detected at all? | 00:35 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| Core 2 Duo is native 64bit. Some of the chips preceding it are too, but very few. Native 64bit doesn't mean it has the physical addressing space of 64bit, because NO ONE needs that yet. | 00:35 |
| minimec | adac: yes. I use the 32bit version on karmic ;) | 00:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, (ssh-keygen on your local machine, and then copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into authorized_keys on the remote) | 00:35 |
| shanezilla | anyone have any good tutorials for vsftpd | 00:35 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: To avoid brute force? | 00:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, basically, yes. | 00:36 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: not quite christmas yet, 4:35 the 24th. | 00:36 |
| adac | |black|, I thought so. But I'm not really sure bout that | 00:36 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, Thanks that all I needed to know and yes 4gb is enuf at ram 16gb is not yet main stream | 00:36 |
| Bob_Dole | 64bit address space= 16 Exabytes= more RAM than actually exists, probably. | 00:36 |
| adac | minimec, thx! | 00:36 |
| ilSoldier | so ntfs-config should come with ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: well here it's the 25th 1:30 am ;) | 00:36 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, by default, any user account with a password can be logged into remotely if sshd is installed, you have to explicitly disable password authentication in that case (publics keys will always work, its just that the password will _also_ work) | 00:37 |
| minimec | adac: np | 00:37 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, means any app/OS compiled for 64bit will be faster, provided I have enuf ram | 00:37 |
| Shanthi | I'm a noob, is this not the correct forum for this question ? No responses so far ... How to add podcasts to the device ? Amarok 2.2.0 KDE 4.3.2 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10): I subscribed to podcasts and they are in Home->Playlists->Podcasts. However, I can't find a way to add it to ipod (1st gen Mini) or how to synchronize with the ipod automatically. I managed to get my ipod showing under 'Home->Local Music'. | 00:37 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Ok, but it's not possible to login if the ubuntu password is blank? Not for anyone? | 00:37 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: figured so. I'm going to reboot and if it doesn't work correctly I'm going to uninstall and do a clean brand new install of 9.10 | 00:37 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Or will they get in without any password prompt? | 00:37 |
| |black| | Shanthi, I dont know if it answers your question but I use rythmbox with my IPod | 00:37 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, unless you've done the authorized keys thing correct. | 00:37 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: You don't need to!!! | 00:37 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, no, they won't be allowed a connection | 00:37 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| more or less. not everything will benefit though. | 00:37 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Ok, thanks fpr all info. | 00:38 |
| Real_Christmas | *for | 00:38 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, cwillu.com for instance has a root account with no password | 00:38 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, but still there is + not -ve in switching to 64 right? | 00:38 |
| cwillu_at_work | which disables it for most intents and purposes | 00:38 |
| nanotube | so, i just got my dell vostro a90, aka dell mini9 (woot!), preloaded with a dellified ubuntu 8.04 (meh). i want to upgrade to ubuntu karmic. but i don't much favor the 'netbook' interface, and am thinking of just using the 'standard' desktop ubuntu 9.10 install. question is: am i missing anything important by doing that (i.e, anything besides the (imho, crappy) netbook interface) ? | 00:38 |
| gui7 | what's the easiest way to conver an avi to dvd? | 00:38 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: Well I'll figure something out eventually i suppose. | 00:38 |
| rhett | i put this in an init file: exec command >> file.log 2>&1 , but i don't see it logging | 00:38 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Ok, and you use keys? Wouldn't it be more secure to use both password AND key? | 00:38 |
| switch10_ | gui7: devede | 00:38 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: Do that reboot and cross your fingers ;) | 00:39 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, when you create a key, it prompts for a passphrase to encrypt the key itself | 00:39 |
| msmarc | is there a way to access the bios on power pc macs? | 00:39 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, adding an addition password doesn't buy much of anything, no | 00:39 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| a tiny amount of programs don't work on 64bit. last I heard, and the flash plugin is unstable if you use the default one. | 00:39 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, note that key-based logins bypasses the password completely | 00:39 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: okay will do, if it doesn't work ill be back :P lol. Well, I'll still let you know anyways... Rebooting. | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | msmarc: theres some special key seqwuence you use to get to the ppc macs firmware but they use different terms for the stuff | 00:39 |
| switch10_ | gui7, http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html | 00:40 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, thats agreeable. | 00:40 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Ok, nice to know. | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never had Linux work decently on my old PPC imac. its now a doorstop basically. | 00:40 |
| newser | Ihave a gps receiver attached to the computer via usb. How can I know if it is being detected or not? | 00:40 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, one last question mate, can i upgrade to 64 or do i need re install? | 00:40 |
| Bob_Dole | |black| I think you gotta reinstall | 00:40 |
| msmarc | i'm running ubuntu on my power pc mac and it works pretty well | 00:40 |
| gui7 | switch10_, ive tried devede, is it normal for it to take ages to encode? | 00:41 |
| |black| | newser, after plugging it in type: dmesg | tail in shell | 00:41 |
| msmarc | Only stuff I don't have is flash and I can't get it to hibernate | 00:41 |
| |black| | Bob_Dole, that sux a bit but will give it a shot | 00:41 |
| Real_Christmas | Another question. I want to helt a friend to install Vista in his computer but is it possible to do this remote using Linux in some way? He has got Vista recovery CDs but I want to do it through Linux remote. Is it possible? | 00:41 |
| switch10_ | gui7: ya it takes a while, but it is the best | 00:41 |
| gui7 | switch10_, oki thx :D | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | msmarc: in my old imacDV the silly display was always shifted over to the left about 4 characters.. made it a pain to use. | 00:41 |
| Bob_Dole | I have a PowerPC mac that can't get X to work. it makes me sad. :( I have another PPC mac that ought to just work though. | 00:41 |
| newser | |black|, what do you mean with tail in shell? | 00:42 |
| msmarc | I wish i could get my stupid mac to hibernate then I could use wake-on-lan | 00:42 |
| cwillu_at_work | newser, open a terminal and type "dmesg | tail" to show the last 10 lines of dmesg | 00:42 |
| |black| | newser, type this exactly in shell "dmesg | tail" | 00:42 |
| Bob_Dole | Linux is the only future for these old PowerPC Macs. Apple's abandoned them. :/ | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | I tried to set up my old imac with OS-9 and just a telnet client/ssh client.. but it was hard to even find a telnet/ssh client that wasent some sort of crippled 'share'ware. | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Bob_Dole: They make good doorstops | 00:43 |
| |black| | newser, dmesg is a command that shows you some hardware info like whats plugged in usb and what ubuntu did with that | 00:43 |
| msmarc | haha I want a server not a doorstop | 00:43 |
| |black| | newser, and when combined with | tail in the end, you discard the lenghty output and get only last 10 lines | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure they even make good servers... | 00:43 |
| |black| | newser, not a requirement just to make things more readable | 00:43 |
| Real_Christmas | Is it possible to reinstall Windows Vista using some kind of remote access to for example a Ubuntu Live CD? I want to reinstall Vista using Vista recovery CD but doing it remote from my computer having Ubuntu Linux. | 00:43 |
| newser | |black|, thanks | 00:43 |
| |black| | newser, no problem | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Real_Christmas: that would be a neat trick.. | 00:44 |
| jabagawee | Real_Christmas, not that i know of | 00:44 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, I can think of approaches, but they probably wouldn't work without lots and lots of testing, and even then they probably still wouldln't work | 00:44 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Whizpopthat | ||
| Dr_Willis | use virtualbox, to access the actual physical hard drive and use it to boot xp. :) | 00:44 |
| preecher | is they a program for ubuntu that will let me "split" a movie and then burn it on 2 cd's | 00:45 |
| switch10_ | preecher: avidemux will split it for you | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | preecher: devede and i think avidumux let you make those old style cd-movie disks.. | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i forget what they were even called back then. | 00:45 |
| switch10_ | preecher: whats the file type?? | 00:45 |
| Snausages | Dr_Willis: VCDs | 00:46 |
| preecher | Swish, and Dr_Willis thanks -) | 00:46 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Well, I think the easiest way would be to use the telephone, but the question is interesting. I will get into this problem many times, I think. | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant ever recall actually watching a 'vcd' | 00:46 |
| Snausages | those are very harsh low res, but anything can decode them | 00:46 |
| switch10_ | Dr_willlis: the quality was so bad | 00:46 |
| cwillu_at_work | Dr_Willis, we had some in highschool | 00:46 |
| Snausages | Dr_Willis: it's a regional thing... they were huge in asia but found very little attention elsewhere. | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Wife got a portable dvd player for xmas - that has a usb and sd slots.. it can play mpeg4 videos. :) | 00:47 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: Reboot helped, my wireless works! I am on it currently with LAN cable unhooked :) Thanks so much for your help! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year! | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Videos have came a loooong way.. | 00:47 |
| ilSoldier | do I really need ntfs-3g just to read/write to ntfs partitions? | 00:47 |
| * cwillu_at_work unplugs Whizpopthat | 00:47 | |
| Dr_Willis | ilSoldier: 'just to' ? if you want to read/write.. you use ntfs-3g.... | 00:47 |
| ilSoldier | oh ok :-) | 00:48 |
| Snausages | ilSoldier: I think there are other methods, but that 3g thing is by far the slickest | 00:48 |
| === anonymous is now known as gantrixx | ||
| Dr_Willis | ilSoldier: if you want read only - you dont need ntfs-3g. | 00:48 |
| jabagawee | what's the proper way to tar up a partition to back it up and untar after an install? | 00:48 |
| minimec | Whizpopthat: So you got your christmas gift... ;) Merry Christmas & a happy New Year too... | 00:48 |
| jabagawee | keeping permissions and symlinks and whatnot | 00:48 |
| ilSoldier | I try to install it but ubuntu says missing dependencies. maybe it's this trash usb stick version of ubuntuu? | 00:48 |
| Whizpopthat | minimec: Yup :) see ya. | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jabagawee: you may want to check out the 'fsarchiver' tool. (but its not in the repos yet) | 00:48 |

| RandomizeR | cwillu_at_work, hey, it's me again | 00:49 |
| * cwillu_at_work hides | 00:49 | |
| cwillu_at_work | jabagawee, using relative paths is preferable | 00:49 |
| RandomizeR | cwillu_at_work, still no luck with the monitor, windows couldn't read it either | 00:49 |
| cwillu_at_work | jabagawee, avoids the "burn up your rootfs by accident" syndrome of storing absolute paths in a tar | 00:50 |
| jabagawee | cwillu_at_work, explain? | 00:50 |
| cwillu_at_work | jabagawee, tarballs contain file paths | 00:50 |
| RandomizeR | cwillu_at_work, i'm pretty close to giving up and just living with the current resolution | 00:50 |
| cwillu_at_work | if those paths are absolute, and you extract them without providing an explicit target location, it'll overwrite the existing files in those locations | 00:50 |
| |black| | cwillu_at_work, thanks mate | 00:51 |
| RandomizeR | cwillu_at_work, any idea where nvidia-settings reads its options from though? it has one resolution more than the standard "Display" screen and xrandr | 00:51 |
| cwillu_at_work | RandomizeR, it does its own detection, causing all sorts of grief and hilarity | 00:51 |
| RandomizeR | cwillu_at_work, yeah, i'll say! | 00:51 |
| gme30066 | hieo! is anyone familiar with iptables? :-) | 00:51 |
| cwillu_at_work | specifically, it has its own methods of talking to the nvidia driver | 00:51 |

| cwillu_at_work | trevor, when you click what? | 00:54 |
| RandomizeR | night.. | 00:54 |
| trevor | install guest additions | 00:54 |
| cwillu_at_work | trevor, have you downloaded the guest additions? | 00:54 |
| trevor | probably not, where do i go to do that | 00:54 |
| trevor | i havent used vbox in over a year | 00:54 |
| Pelo | trevor, you need to dl the guest addition file from somehere and mout them as a cd for instalation , better ask in the channel of the VM you are using | 00:54 |
| cwillu_at_work | virtualbox's site (sun). It's supposed to be seamless, but there's version numbers in the path that change, etc | 00:55 |
| cwillu_at_work | trevor, ^ | 00:55 |
| gme30066 | anyone familiar with iptables? | 00:55 |
| cwillu_at_work | trevor, all it is is an iso that gets mounted as a cdrom, which autoruns a device driver installer; you can do the same process by hand | 00:55 |
| trevor | sweet thanks cwillu_at_work | 00:55 |
| cwillu_at_work | trevor, so it's just a matter of finding the download | 00:55 |

| gme30066 | i can't join #asterisk. I'm getting this error: http://skitch.com/gellenburg/nc6p1/colloquy | 00:57 |
| Pelo | najifu, you need to ask a quesiton | 00:57 |
| najifu | my ubuntu eror. | 00:58 |

| adac | MK13, you mean my hardware? Well selfbuilt: quadcore, 2 gigs ram, nivdia gforce card. | 00:59 |
| Pelo | najifu, you need to state your problem completely , if you don'T get an answer right away , be patient and ask again after a few minutes, It's a busy channel here, but you need at tell us about the problem "my ubuntu error" doesn't tell us much | 00:59 |
| najifu | hello.. | 00:59 |
| MK13 | adac, well i was trying to see if it had to do w/ specific audio cards... but if cwillu_at_work is right then it is pulseaudio that is doing it itself | 00:59 |
| |Infected| | Hello. | 00:59 |
| gme30066 | cool thanks | 01:00 |
| adac | MK13, It must be a software 'bug' Cause i only experienced that problem since my last bigger upgrade | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | nanotube: you wont miss much. You might have to some how disable 'maximus' thats the app that fullscreens everything. It can cause issues with the normal ubuntu gnome desktop | 01:01 |
| |black| | any one knows that migrating from 32-64 requires a fresh install or i can upgrade ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, you wouldn'T have any notion on how to install sound support on a cli machine would you ? | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | |black|: you cant upgrade from 32bit to 64bit | 01:01 |
| |black| | Dr_Willis, Any idea to save my current setup and restore it? | 01:02 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, apt-get install alsa-soimethingsomething | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | |black|: I just keep /home/ on its own partition. and archive any configs i want to save. | 01:02 |
| freebse | Guys I experienced the same problems on GNU/Debian unstable and the only reason so far is to fully disable pulse, a blacklist is what we are going to do, as far as I know right now it is not really fixable in an easy way | 01:02 |
| cwillu_at_work | Pelo, alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-tools | 01:02 |
| MK13 | cwillu_at_work, where would the config file for autosuspending/etc. be? | 01:02 |
| sebsebseb | freebse: #debian | 01:02 |
| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, you are an angel | 01:03 |
| sebsebseb | freebse: oh nevermind | 01:03 |
| cwillu_at_work | MK13, with the rest of the config files :p | 01:03 |
| freebse | sebsebseb: I just said :) nevermind | 01:03 |
| cwillu_at_work | MK13, start in /etc, look for pulseaudio'y looking things :p | 01:03 |
| nanotube | Dr_Willis: well, i take it if i do a fresh install of 9.10 desktop edition, maximus won't even be there? (and if it is, i bet unchecking it from the session startup list will do the trick anyway) | 01:03 |
| |black| | Dr_Willis, alright... So I am downloading right now it says AMD64 in file name, is that also intented for intel core 2 duo? | 01:03 |
| MK13 | cwillu_at_work, i don't see anysettings like it... i think it is /etc/pulse/ | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | nanotube: correct. Maximus is part of the netbook remix. | 01:03 |
| freebse | sebsebseb: I just wanted to inform guys that on the same software base on sid we have the same problem | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | |black|: amd64 means '64bit' | 01:03 |
| nanotube | Dr_Willis: well, ok, i'm going for the std desktop edition then. wish me luck. :) | 01:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | MK13, grep suspend /etc/pulse/* | 01:04 |
| |black| | Dr_Willis, still thats confusing tho :/ | 01:04 |
| sebsebseb | freebse: well I hadn't read that stuff before typing | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | |black|: no its not.. amd had 64bit first.. so thats what it was named... | 01:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | |black|, yes. Intel got to be the default name for 32bit, amd gets to be the default name for 64 bit :p | 01:04 |
| * Dr_Willis waits for 128bit | 01:05 | |
| |black| | Dr_Willis, cwillu_at_work: The picture comes in focus :D | 01:05 |
| * |black| wakes Dr_Willis up! | 01:05 | |
| MK13 | cwillu_at_work, much more effective than searching with my own eye, thanks | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | part of knowing computers and linux.. = knowing the history of computers and linux. | 01:05 |
| cwillu_at_work | that's what intel gets for making a 64bit platform that wasn't compatible in any meaningful way with their existing 32bit arch :p | 01:05 |
| freebse | The Problem is Iceweasel or like you say FIrefox... the bug is known, and it is on the biglist allready... anyway to fix it disable pulse | 01:05 |
| * Dr_Willis still wants to know where the N went in the 'umount' (unmount) command. | 01:05 | |
| |black| | I agree first true 64bit revolution goes to AMD | 01:05 |
| cwillu_at_work | freebse, sorry, fix what? | 01:06 |
| adac | Dr_Willis, what did N option do? | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | adac: the command is 'unmount' but its spelt 'umount' with no n | 01:06 |
| freebse | cwillu_at:work: no sund for Iceweasel or other allplications while pulse is installed and other known problems | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | I also find it odd that nvidia-xconfig is a CLI app and nvida-settings is a X gui app.. :) | 01:07 |
| adac | Dr_Willis, ahh now I see ;) hahah I guess it is already too late here. I should go to bed soon :P | 01:07 |
| cwillu_at_work | freebse, that's not a problem we're experiencing | 01:07 |
| cwillu_at_work | I can assure you that I have sound in firefox via pulseaudio | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Pulse audio and firefox works here. | 01:08 |
| |black| | When they dont i use killall pulseaudio :D | 01:08 |
| freebse | I can too, but this is a major problem, anyway ignor me in that case ;) | 01:08 |
| ilSoldier | hey | 01:08 |
| Hydrosis | Pulse hates me. Doesnt work for games, I get errors in my console with mplayer vids etc. | 01:08 |
| ilSoldier | I installed ntfs-3g and ntfs config | 01:08 |
| cwillu_at_work | freebse, done and done | 01:09 |
| |black| | freebse, try "killall pulseaudio" | 01:09 |
| Socom | hello there ^_^ ? | 01:09 |
| Hydrosis | killall or pkill or xkill should do the job for individual processes | 01:09 |
| minimec | freebse: If you have some problems with your pulseaudio configuratioin, first install pavucontrol. It gives you a lot of info and options for pulseaudio. | 01:09 |
| |black| | Socom, speak! | 01:09 |
| Socom | how are you doing ? black :) ? | 01:09 |
| |black| | Socom, I am half asleep if its not for my cigarettes.... | 01:09 |
| ilSoldier | how do I know if ntfs-3g is working fine on my computer? | 01:09 |
| freebse | minimec: thx a lot, but this is not the problem over here on some installations | 01:10 |
| cwillu_at_work | Hydrosis, xkill isn't like pkill or killall, it only kills the process by the coincidence that most x apps die when they're disconnected from x | 01:10 |
| Hydrosis | cwillu_at_work, thanks for the info. I'll read up on the command more later. | 01:10 |
| Socom | this is my first time | 01:10 |
| ilSoldier | I did man ntfs-3g | 01:10 |
| ilSoldier | seems to be there | 01:10 |
| Socom | I want to be Game Developer | 01:10 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, try deleting C:/Windows | 01:11 |
| cwillu_at_work | ilSoldier, don't | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | islington: use the ntfs-3g command to mount a ntfs fiklesystem | 01:11 |
| MK13 | adac, i no longer have the crackle :D | 01:11 |
| marcel | Hi all together. Is anyone here who has some experience with nvidia drivers for graphical cards and would help me get compiz running? | 01:11 |
| ilSoldier | well I have to be able to mount the partition first! | 01:11 |
| cwillu_at_work | |black|, don't make me sic the ops on you :p | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | islington: or use -t ntfs-3g when mouinting it | 01:11 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, I hope you understood the joke part? | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ilSoldier: ntfs-3g is the command that can moint them.. | 01:11 |
| `mOOse` | anybody ever inject an iso with additional files in ubuntu? If so, what did you use to do it? | 01:11 |
| adac | MK13, :) Can you post your changes on a pastie? | 01:11 |
| |black| | cwillu_at_work, I dare not :) | 01:11 |
| dan2 | hey guys | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !info kiso | `mOOse` | 01:12 |
| ubottu | `mOOse`: kiso (source: kiso): program to create manipulate and extract CD Image. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.3-0ubuntu6 (karmic), package size 345 kB, installed size 1048 kB | 01:12 |
| |black| | Socom, its a long journey son | 01:12 |
| `mOOse` | thanks doc :-) | 01:12 |
| Socom | I have problems with partitions !! swap and / and root and and and | 01:12 |
| dan2 | I have a 1080p screen attached, but every time I login in takes it from what looks like 1080p in GDM, to 1680x1050 and I have to continuously do this everytime I log in and out | 01:12 |
| dan2 | is there a solution to this? | 01:12 |
| dan2 | (change it to 1080p) | 01:12 |
| MK13 | adac, sure just give me a sec | 01:12 |
| dan2 | I tried rewriting X config 100x | 01:12 |
| dan2 | doesn't work | 01:12 |
| |black| | any one interested in some art? | 01:12 |
| dan2 | it's labeled properly | 01:12 |
| FloodBot2 | dan2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:12 |
| ilSoldier | well okay ntfs-3g is there but it doesn't seem to be working with the mount command | 01:13 |
| Hydrosis | dan2 are you trying to change screen resolution? | 01:13 |
| adac | MK13, kk | 01:13 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, what mount command are you giving exactly? | 01:13 |
| Mistletoe | Hey, im having problems with the Karmic live cd | 01:13 |
| dan2 | Hydrosis, I want the screen resolution to stay 1080p when I log in and out, but it won't do that, it always reverts to 1680 | 01:13 |
| dan2 | Hydrosis, at the login screen for GDM it looks like it's 1080, then it downsizes | 01:13 |
| ilSoldier | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /home/ubuntu/xp | 01:13 |
| marcel | who can help me getting my nvidia graphical card running? | 01:14 |
| trevor | i should probably just be running xp in a virtualmachine, 32 bit 7 seems like a little much | 01:14 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, and whats the output of that? | 01:14 |
| Socom | black , I like photoshop | 01:14 |
| Hydrosis | I have the same problem but with 800x600. I can manually change it but it doesnt do a damn thing if I restart. Changing the .config fils does nothing either. Read the last part of this and see if you can figure out a solution with this data. - http://chvnx.com/post/280205781/change-screen-resolution-in-linux-ubuntu | 01:14 |

| dan2 | thanks | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ilSoldier: you did make the directory /home/ubuntu/xp first? | 01:15 |
| MK13 | the really long "###' lines show what i commented out, and show the beginning of each file | 01:15 |
| ilSoldier | Dr_Willis yes sir | 01:16 |
| minimec | marcel: first... try to run >Administration >Hardware Driver from the menu... | 01:16 |
| MK13 | adac, the really long "###' lines show what i commented out, and show the beginning of each file : http://pastebin.com/d755554d9 | 01:16 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, thats strange its giving output like you are typing just mount | 01:16 |
| ilSoldier | Dr_Willis even if I didn't, same thing happens | 01:16 |
| ilSoldier | |black| when I type just mount it says "mount: only root can do that" | 01:17 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, I tried: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /home/ubuntu/xp and output is as it should be... | 01:17 |
| Mistletoe | Im having problems with the 9.10 live cd, when I boot up, I can only see Exampls, Install Ubuntu 9.10, and the wallpaper | 01:17 |
| Mistletoe | Nothing else | 01:17 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, i mean sudo mount | 01:17 |
| Mistletoe | Examples* | 01:17 |
| duffydack | ok thats just sad... ffmpeg + medibuntu + flv to mp3 = no way... | 01:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | Mistletoe, no panel? | 01:17 |
| Mistletoe | No | 01:17 |
| imaginativeone | hi all... | 01:17 |
| |black| | Mistletoe, there's all that there is | 01:17 |
| |black| | imaginativeone, hey | 01:17 |
| imaginativeone | how do I access my dvd writer via terminal? | 01:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | no, there should be a panel | 01:17 |
| krishn1 | Sound not working in firefox browser when I open youtube | 01:17 |
| duffydack | I had to compile the latest to do it. thats really crappy... | 01:17 |
| Hydrosis | |black| is your NTSF it's own drive or is it a partition? | 01:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | Mistletoe, how much memory in the machine? is the cd still doing anything? | 01:18 |
| Mistletoe | I dont see one | 01:18 |
| duffydack | flv to mp3? wtF? | 01:18 |
| Mistletoe | 1GB | 01:18 |
| |black| | imaginativeone, what you want to do? | 01:18 |
| Mistletoe | And is the CD still doing anything, no | 01:18 |
| Mistletoe | it isnt | 01:18 |
| krishn1 | I am using FF3 ,and sound not working when I open youtube | 01:18 |
| |black| | Hydrosis, I have single hard and I have many partitions ntfs, and ext3, 4 | 01:18 |
| adac | MK13, perfect, thx a lot! will try it out tomorrow immediately. Ok I'll go to bed it's already late. cu!! | 01:18 |
| imaginativeone | I have a dvd with photos on it | 01:18 |
| Hydrosis | daffyduck, there are FireFox scripts that take YouTube videos and export .mp3 audio from them,. | 01:18 |
| imaginativeone | BUT | 01:18 |
| imaginativeone | it has a huge crack on it | 01:18 |
| imaginativeone | I'm hoping to get as many photos as I can | 01:18 |
| |black| | imaginativeone, dude be wary coz it might break and damage your writer | 01:19 |
| imaginativeone | |black|: did you get that? | 01:19 |
| imaginativeone | ok | 01:19 |
| imaginativeone | I'll have to take the risk | 01:19 |
| marcel | minimec: Hi. If I do so, I just get the usual window - just with an empty list. (I use Karmic and the geforce 105m) | 01:19 |
| |black| | imaginativeone, happened to me once, but if you are willing then, "cd /media/cdrom" | 01:19 |
| imaginativeone | thanks | 01:19 |
| |black| | and you are in cdrom root directory | 01:19 |
| |black| | imaginativeone, if you have more than one drives | 01:20 |
| |black| | keep trying with "cd /media/cdrom0" | 01:20 |
| |black| | cdrom1 etc | 01:20 |
| |black| | hope that helps | 01:20 |
| |black| | any one up for a smoke? | 01:20 |
| minimec | marcel: first look at the search results on the net tell me | 01:21 |
| minimec | marcel: ... that your geforce 105m is a little problematic on linux. Try to find some more infos on the net. That could help. | 01:22 |
| zaphira13 | HEy guys... which is the best partition setup for a ubuntu intallation? | 01:23 |
| marcel | minimec: I've been trying hard... cant find anything usefull | 01:23 |
| edbian | zaphira13: Well it's a matter of opinion partly. | 01:23 |
| edbian | zaphira13: The OS needs about 6 GB to be very comfortable. Above that is just what you add with personal files | 01:24 |
| phix | zaphira13: use LVM | 01:24 |
| Ubuntu_User | How do I reset Wine's settings again in terminal? | 01:24 |
| phix | zaphira13: allows you to resize and create additional filesystems on the fly | 01:24 |
| phix | Ubuntu_User: rm -fr .wine | 01:25 |
| zaphira13 | What is "LVM"? | 01:25 |
| phix | zaphira13: Logical Volume Manager | 01:25 |
| phix | or something like that | 01:25 |
| minimec | zaphira13: I use about 13gb for '/', 2GB 'Swap'.. the rest /home. If you use your computer as Web/mysql Server... + 3GB '/var' | 01:25 |
| phix | I start off with 10G for / but using LVM allows me to resize it if i need to in the future | 01:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | zaphira13, logical volume manager. You probably don't want to use it | 01:25 |
| Church | LVM is the best thing out there for flexible diskspace managment | 01:25 |
| `mOOse` | Dr_Willis: Kiso worked perfectly - thanks again | 01:25 |
| edbian | zaphira13: linux volume manager. It lets you create virtual partitions that span multiple hdds it lets you do lets of neat tricks | 01:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | minimec, 2gb of swap is probably excessive :p | 01:26 |
| phix | cwillu_at_work: Everyone should use LVM, it is so useful! | 01:26 |
| nfo4286 | lvm? | 01:26 |
| * Church loves fact that linux lvm command syntax is almost same as in hpux | 01:26 | |
| phix | nfo4286: you should use it too | 01:26 |
| zaphira13 | YEah well, i usually use 10GB /, 6GB swap and the rest as home | 01:26 |
| edbian | phix: I disagree. lvm is not perfect for everybody | 01:26 |
| nfo4286 | well what is it? | 01:26 |
| minimec | cwillu_at_work: maybe.. but if you have a 60 GB hardisk and you want to do work with BIG files... ;) | 01:27 |
| phix | edbian: true. that is why evms exists too :) | 01:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | minimec, if your editor deals with big files by trying to pull them all into memory, get a different editor | 01:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | minimec, specifically, mmap'ing files uses no swap, because the file itself is the backing store :p | 01:27 |
| phix | nfo4286: it allows you to create filesystems that youcan resize on the fly if you want | 01:28 |
| nfo4286 | hmmm gparted does the same thing no? | 01:28 |
| minimec | cwillu_at_work: So... What would be your max? 1GB or 512MB? | 01:28 |
| phix | nfo4286: it also support snapshots, meaning you can take a snapshot of say your email spool filesystem so you can back it up without needing to stop your email server | 01:28 |
| cwillu_at_work | minimec, unless you need to do hibernation, I'd generally stay around 1gb, maybe less | 01:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | we _really_ need to get something to dynamically create and remove swapfiles based on demand some day | 01:29 |
| Church | pvmove of lvm also is nice thingie to play with. with easily moving online filesystems between disks | 01:29 |
| gapi | witch wlan card is best in master mode for AP | 01:29 |
| `mOOse` | cwillu_at_work: and manipulate casper-rw too! | 01:29 |
| Church | cwillu_at_work: IIRC there was some project like that | 01:29 |
| minimec | cwillu_at_work: I am suspend/hibernating a lot... That's why I use 1:1 RAM:Swap ;) | 01:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | Church, there's been several :p | 01:30 |
| phix | nfo4286: yes but LVM is designed to be resized. normal partition are not, gparted cannot resize a mounted filesystem, LVM can | 01:30 |
| phix | ok well gparted can but you will loose data :) | 01:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | minimec, you may need more than 1:1 actually, depending on how much dirty memory there actually is | 01:30 |
| nfo4286 | lol hmm sounds risky....resizing a mounted partition | 01:31 |
| gapi | now i have one netgear wpn311 i think and no go in master mode | 01:31 |
| ilSoldier | woohoo | 01:31 |
| ilSoldier | I finally did it | 01:31 |
| ilSoldier | thank you guys | 01:31 |
| Church | lvm is like functionality of gparted/software raid united and with way more usuable syntax and ease of use | 01:31 |
| |black| | ilSoldier, happy for you | 01:31 |
| Pelo | I don't get this thing I had it working properly a minute ago | 01:31 |
| Church | + most of lvm actions can be done online | 01:31 |
| nanotube | trying to use usb-creator (on ubuntu 8.10), but it fails to detect my usb hdd, so nothing shows up in the list of usb disks. any ideas on this? | 01:32 |
| minimec | cwillu_at_work: I had no problems until now, but I agree with you... The first time I did a 2GB Swap I was asking myself some questions too ;) | 01:32 |
| zaphira13 | I have 3GB of ram, how big should my swap be?? | 01:32 |
| Church | without any need to unmount filesystems and alike | 01:32 |
| cwillu_at_work | zaphira13, how much memory do you have? | 01:32 |
| Church | zaphira13: depends on usage of course. there are some that live without swap at all :)0 | 01:32 |
| Sinclair86 | yea | 01:32 |
| Sinclair86 | swap is mostly for older somputers | 01:32 |
| `mOOse` | I don't use swap | 01:32 |
| cwillu_at_work | Sinclair86, no, not true | 01:32 |
| Sinclair86 | MOSTLY | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | (but I'm using a flashdrive persistent install and have 1 gig ram) | 01:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | no swap is just silly, waste of memory keeping things you're not actually using when you could use that memory to cache filesystem pages | 01:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | Sinclair86, and mostly is just as wrong :p | 01:33 |
| Church | zaphira13: first describe how you're gonna use that box, what apps gonna run and such | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | not silly - impossible ;-) | 01:33 |
| Sinclair86 | google.com | 01:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | `mOOse`, no, it's quite possible | 01:33 |
| cwillu_at_work | just... silly | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | swap and casper-rw? yea? | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | cool - point me! | 01:33 |

| jarray521 | Is there a public aide database for all the static files in the Ubuntu repository that can be used to check the integrity of files on one's local machine? | 01:35 |
| zaphira13 | Church: I want to use sound picture and video editting programs 3d modeling etc | 01:36 |
| minimec | zaphira13: Well I would do 1:1 RAM:Swap... But that is my opinion... ;) | 01:36 |
| Church | zaphira13: dunno. imho 1-2 gigs should be enough to swapout idling/unused background stuff .. and if your box will actively swap way more then that, adding ram would do way better then insaneously grow swap and watch hdd blinking lights instead of doing some actual job on computer :)0 | 01:36 |
| freeksh0w86 | anyone know how to get past the "unable to find medium with live file system" error when trying to boot Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386? | 01:37 |
| Church | zaphira13: 1:1 RAM:Swap would be needed if you need suspend to disk. otherwise imho overkill | 01:37 |
| freeksh0w86 | other linux CDs didn't give me that error (but i can't use them for other reasons) and i checked the md5sum so i'm sure the CD is ok | 01:37 |
| gapi | bie | 01:38 |

| `mOOse` | freeksh0w86: booting from cd or flashdrive install? | 01:38 |
| myjiang0070 | 大家好 | 01:38 |
| freeksh0w86 | a CD i burned as an iso image | 01:38 |
| zaphira13 | Ummmm Ok, can you please fellow family members explain to me how swap is used by the system? | 01:38 |
| freeksh0w86 | i burn other CD the exact same way and they booted | 01:38 |

| Hydrosis | zaphira13, I believe you could think of it as a sort of extra memory. Somone else can elaborate. | 01:39 |
| `mOOse` | freeksh0w86: did it ever work? | 01:39 |
| myjiang0070 | exit | 01:39 |
| edbian | zaphira13: Swap is part of the hard drive that the system sets aside to use when the ram fills up. If the ram filled completely then the system would panic and crash. Windows causes swap the "page file" | 01:39 |
| |black| | zaphira13, you mean swap space? | 01:39 |
| edbian | zaphira13: windows calls* swap the... | 01:40 |
| freeksh0w86 | `mOOse`, i burned other distro CD's and older Ubuntu CDs, and they all either work or have entirely different problems | 01:40 |
| Hydrosis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 01:40 |
| freeksh0w86 | i'm just wondering if i need to specify a new boot option before loading the disc... | 01:40 |
| === ballzee is now known as Sinister | ||
| |black| | zaphira13, what edbian said... Its basically a reserved space of hard disk in case of your ram is all filled, you run too many apps, then it switches the least active app from ram to hard (SWAPS) | 01:40 |
| `mOOse` | freeksh0w86: but did this particular cd work? Because you might have a hosed file - you have to check the MD5's | 01:40 |
| freeksh0w86 | i did check the md5sum | 01:40 |
| `mOOse` | k..that's what I was wondering - to make sure you didn't have corrupt files | 01:41 |
| zaphira13 | Ok thanks :D | 01:41 |
| Church | zaphira13: there are 2 main points in linux swapping. 1) if there are some idling processes with almost no activity, it's better to swap them out and ram be used for something better, eg. file cache .. 2) for cases when you ran more stuff then fits in your ram .. you can use swap as kind of extra memory .. but you have to take into account, that disks are by magnitude of more then 2 orders slower then ram .. so heavily used swap = very slow. | 01:41 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone else noticed the Santa hat on vlc player icon? | 01:41 |
| freeksh0w86 | i suspect the fact that i have a "dead" CD-ROM drive still plugged at the top (the working one is setup below) might confuse it | 01:42 |
| freeksh0w86 | but i'm not sure | 01:42 |
| |black| | Church, way more than 2 :) | 01:42 |
| `mOOse` | quite possible | 01:42 |
| Church | i said - "main" | 01:42 |
| freeksh0w86 | i just need a distro with working versions of Linux iPod sync software... looks like Ubuntu is bleeding edge and current so I hope to get it working somehow | 01:42 |
| |black| | freeksh0w86, rythmbox works I think | 01:43 |
| cwillu_at_work | freeksh0w86, for what kind of ipod? | 01:43 |
| freeksh0w86 | i can't get gtkpod or amarok working with an iPod on PcLinuxOS, and rhythmbox won't even load in that distro... | 01:43 |
| freeksh0w86 | i think pclinuxos uses old stable rpms | 01:43 |
| `mOOse` | I can't get amarok to work either :( | 01:43 |
| rumpsy | update repo | 01:44 |
| freeksh0w86 | cwillu_at_work, i think it is some sort of 8g nano thing i dunno | 01:44 |
| krishn1 | how to stop completely a cronjob | 01:44 |
| zaphira13 | Which is better and why? ext3 or ext4? | 01:44 |
| Church | zaphira13: if takeing out file cache and just counting how much programs use themselves .. if it's > then 1.5x ram, then box is mostly spending time reading forth and back to/from swap, then actually doing job .. so for very heavy swapping one is better of with adjusting workload of apps or with adding ram | 01:44 |
| rumpsy | by updating repo you can get i thjink so! | 01:44 |
| cwillu_at_work | freeksh0w86, should work out of the box with rhythmbox in ubuntu | 01:44 |
| cwillu_at_work | zaphira13, ext4, being the later revision of ext3 | 01:44 |
| freeksh0w86 | cwillu_at_work, ok, i'm gonna run the CD check thing at the boot option and make sure the CD burned well | 01:44 |
| cwillu_at_work | extents allow for more space efficient usage of large drives, among other things | 01:44 |
| Hydrosis | rhythmbox works all the time, except when I add a lot fo new music to my archive. Sometimes the audio dies and it says I dont ave the proper codecs installed. | 01:44 |
| freeksh0w86 | if that doesn't work, perhaps i will unplug or re-locate my CD drive on the IDE bus | 01:45 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: Why don't you install the codecs you need silly | 01:45 |
| `mOOse` | if it's dead why do you keep it plugged in? | 01:45 |
| freeksh0w86 | it died not too long ago i just forgot to unplug it | 01:45 |
| `mOOse` | ;-) | 01:45 |
| freeksh0w86 | but the one below it works | 01:45 |
| craigbass1976 | `mOOse`, keeps dust out. :) | 01:45 |
| johntramp | hi i want to install ubuntu to a second partition on my netbook. this doesn't have a cd drive and i don't have a usb stick spare. what would be the best way to do the install? i guess there is a way to install from the distro i already have running? | 01:45 |
| freeksh0w86 | yeah that too | 01:46 |
| `mOOse` | craigbass1976 :-) | 01:46 |
| Hydrosis | edbian: because I have them, it just lies to me like the dirty, low down, dirty mo-fo rhythmbox is. | 01:46 |
| `mOOse` | makes a good coffee mug holder too | 01:46 |
| `mOOse` | ...and you can scare the crap out of the cat with em too | 01:46 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: I saw rhythmbox hanging out what the wrong sort of crowd in a dark alley the other day | 01:46 |
| neezer | is there a conky channel? | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | johntramp: check out 'debootstrap' - Good Luck | 01:47 |
| johntramp | ok, thanks Dr_Willis | 01:47 |
| Hydrosis | edbian: I dont doubt it. Don;t need that riff-raff 'round here. | 01:47 |
| rumpsy | Any Indians! | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: not that ive noticed.. but the homepage/forums are very good for conky | 01:47 |
| craigbass1976 | `mOOse`, remember the coke glass holder joke about 11 years ago? It was an exe and when you clicked it, your cd drive popped open | 01:47 |
| Hydrosis | craigbass1976, I remember that. I remember a lot of useless thinsg thanks to computers and the internet. | 01:48 |
| neezer | thanks dr. w | 01:48 |
| neezer | I'll check it oiut. | 01:48 |
| `mOOse` | it's a very old old joke yea...man...that sure makes me feel good to remember that stuff heh | 01:48 |
| cwillu_at_work | offtopic chatter - | 01:48 |
| Hydrosis | neezer: #conky is a channel with help there | 01:48 |
| cwillu_at_work | offtopic chatter -> #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:48 |
| neezer | great. | 01:48 |
| Hydrosis | I got help @ #conky 2 days ago. | 01:48 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: conky is neat | 01:49 |
| |black| | any one tried stellarium? | 01:49 |
| Hydrosis | edbian: let me take a screenshot of my conky config for you. 2 secs | 01:49 |
| |black| | Hydrosis, show me too | 01:49 |
| neezer | I'm just getting into conky, but so far I like it. | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | My Conky work - http://drop.io/dr_willis :) | 01:50 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: awesome! | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: its a neat tool.. and very annoying in many ways. :) | 01:50 |
| neezer | I want to try to find a way to use ssh to see the auth.log file for my server | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: that shouldent be too hard. | 01:50 |
| neezer | while i am still on my lappy that is. | 01:50 |
| craigbass1976 | neezer, is it var/log/secure? | 01:51 |
| neezer | server is at home, and lappy is with me away from home. | 01:51 |
| Hydrosis | I love conky, it's a must-have for my conputers. For windows, there is a close alternative with a GUI called Samurize or something to that effect,. | 01:51 |
| |black| | neezer, its no big deal | 01:51 |
| neezer | just the var/log/auth.log file. | 01:51 |
| Hydrosis | my desktop: http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1162/screenshot5z.png | 01:51 |
| neezer | really just the last 5 or 10 lines. | 01:51 |
| cwillu_at_work | neezer, can you log into the server via ssh? | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: conky can do that. of course tehres non-conky ways of monitoring a log file also | 01:51 |
| freeksh0w86 | i did Check cd for defects, and a few minutes later i scroll over to the F1 console, it says "stdin error 0" then (intramfs) can't find medium with live file system" | 01:52 |
| neezer | yeah. i am actually logged into it right now. | 01:52 |
| neezer | it is running fah and I was checking the progress. | 01:52 |
| Hydrosis | here's my conky configs. 2 conky's running, one for system stats and network info and another for RSS feeds. If you guys want my scripts, just ask. http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1162/screenshot5z.png | 01:53 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: I love your desktop! | 01:53 |
| neezer | It is just a media server and barely ever has load on it. | 01:53 |
| Hydrosis | I love beer. | 01:54 |
| `mOOse` | mOO | 01:55 |
| hiexpo | my ? is how do i make a launcher for a program | 01:56 |
| edbian | hiexpo: You came to the right place! | 01:57 |
| hiexpo | kool | 01:57 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Do you know the terminal command to start the app? | 01:57 |
| hiexpo | yep | 01:57 |
| * Pelo buts out | 01:57 | |
| Hydrosis | hiexpo: right click on pannel and choose add to pallen, then choose to add custom app | 01:58 |
| hiexpo | i get tired of typing all the time | 01:58 |
| Hydrosis | pannel** | 01:58 |
| Hydrosis | Dyslexia. | 01:58 |
| Hydrosis | :( | 01:58 |
| hiexpo | ok | 01:58 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Right click somewhere and select "create launcher" | 01:58 |
| edbian | hiexpo: it doesn't have to be in the panel | 01:58 |
| Hydrosis | I assumed he wants one in pannel, or else why have its own launcher? That's just me, though. | 01:59 |
| edbian | hiexpo: You can also make a new menu entry but that is slightly different instructions | 01:59 |
| rumpsy | dpkg is replying me | 01:59 |
| hiexpo | no i like the little small apps | 01:59 |
| rumpsy | Sorry dpkg is not replying me | 01:59 |
| neezer | I have done many searches over the past month trying to find a beginners tutorial for conky, but can't seem to find one. | 02:00 |
| edbian | hiexpo: in the panel you mean? | 02:00 |
| hiexpo | yes | 02:00 |
| hiexpo | sorry | 02:00 |
| neezer | does anyone here have a link where I can start from the beginning on how it works? | 02:00 |
| hiexpo | so add new | 02:00 |
| hiexpo | got that | 02:00 |
| hiexpo | than custom | 02:01 |
| aaa7 | Can anyone offer GNU Classpath installing support? | 02:01 |
| Hydrosis | neezer: To learn conky you need to study other people's scripts and also the official conky guide. That is how I learned. Hold on, I will upload my conky config and share it with you. It will look exactl like the one on the right side of this screenshot. http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1162/screenshot5z.png - hold on for two minutes. | 02:01 |
| edbian | neezer: man conky is helpful | 02:02 |
| neezer | cool. | 02:02 |
| turtle_ | i'm using IMAP Evolution for my gmail account, and jpegs are not displaying properly, anyone got a suggestion? | 02:02 |
| hiexpo | ok it opened the new little window | 02:02 |
| neezer | for my conky on my lappy i just copied and pasted one in, and it is ok, but that doesn't teach you how to make it any better. | 02:02 |
| hiexpo | now what? | 02:03 |
| edbian | neezer: Look at it! | 02:03 |
| IdleOne | neezer: best way ( for me ) backup the working script then edit all you want and see what happens | 02:03 |
| edbian | hiexpo: you've got the custom launcher dialog up? In the command line put in the terminal command for the app | 02:03 |
| hiexpo | ok 1 sec | 02:03 |
| aline | a masters degree from the University of Phoenix is kinda horseshit | 02:03 |
| neezer | thanks guys and gals if applicable. | 02:04 |
| zaphira13 | What could be better to install in my Netbook?? UNR Or the classic Ubuntu for desktop? | 02:04 |
| aline | but everyone from work is getting one | 02:04 |
| hiexpo | ok | 02:04 |
| Hydrosis | neezer: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MFLLJMNA | 02:05 |
| microhaxo | Are there more advanced power management features for netbooks via gnome in 9.10? | 02:05 |
| Hydrosis | neezer: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html -- read this for all conky variables you need. | 02:05 |
| hiexpo | i tried that before and it didnt work on another program | 02:05 |
| hiexpo | ok the command is in | 02:06 |
| edbian | hiexpo: It was probably a typo then | 02:06 |
| edbian | then that's all you really need | 02:06 |
| hiexpo | oh | 02:06 |
| mobi-sheep | zaphira13: UNR is same as classic desktop with revamped UI. | 02:06 |
| hiexpo | is that it | 02:06 |
| neezer | thanks hydro | 02:06 |
| edbian | hiexpo: That should be it! | 02:06 |
| Hydrosis | No problem neezer, that's why I'm here. | 02:07 |
| neezer | i guess i'll just backup the original and start fiddling. | 02:07 |
| Hydrosis | :D | 02:07 |
| hiexpo | ok let me try it | 02:07 |
| neezer | so what is the command to restart conky to check my changes. | 02:07 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Fingers crossed! | 02:07 |
| Hydrosis | I use "killall conky" | 02:07 |
| neezer | mine just comes up when i start my computer. I don't want to reboot 1000 times. | 02:07 |
| mobi-sheep | neezer: Kill conky and edit it. Start conky again. | 02:07 |
| hiexpo | ya failed | 02:07 |
| Hydrosis | then, I save my gedit file TWICE in a row. | 02:07 |
| Hydrosis | safer than sorry | 02:07 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Does it need to run in the terminal or is it graphical? | 02:08 |
| edbian | hiexpo: There isn't a typo right? | 02:08 |
| hiexpo | interminal | 02:08 |
| zaphira13 | YEah seems like it as it has a choice that lets u use the cassic ubuntu Desktop but is it really the same? | 02:08 |
| edbian | hiexpo: Right click that panel applet and select the properties | 02:08 |
| hiexpo | but it launches outside the terminal so i don't think so | 02:08 |
| hiexpo | did that | 02:09 |
| edbian | hiexpo: change it to "run in terminal" | 02:09 |
| hiexpo | ok | 02:09 |
| edbian | hiexpo: What is the app? What do you mean it runs outside the terminal?? | 02:09 |
| hiexpo | and also its a two line command | 02:09 |
| neezer | so it was a while ago when I installed this and I don't remember where my format file is....any guesses as to where it would be? | 02:10 |
| neezer | no conky in my home folder | 02:10 |
| edbian | hiexpo: You need to learn to make it a one line command | 02:10 |
| hiexpo | its jdownloader | 02:10 |
| edbian | hiexpo: I thin you can do that with && between the two commands | 02:10 |
| IdleOne | neezer: hit ctrl-h to show hidden files/folders | 02:10 |
| hiexpo | ok i will try | 02:10 |
| edbian | hiexpo: "command1 && command2" | 02:10 |
| hiexpo | ok | 02:10 |
| edbian | hiexpo: I THINK | 02:10 |
| neezer | ah... is it .conkyrc? | 02:11 |
| IdleOne | yup | 02:11 |
| neezer | cause i also found /etc/conky/conky.conf | 02:11 |
| neezer | is that one just a stock config file? | 02:11 |
| Hydrosis | neexer, it's hidden .conkyrc | 02:11 |
| edbian | neezer: The one in .conkyrc is the one that gets read from. | 02:12 |
| microhaxo | So IdleOne, does gnome offer any more power management than whats in the menu? its not too in depth. | 02:12 |
| Hydrosis | conkycr in home is your main file. | 02:12 |
| Hydrosis | .conkyrc ** | 02:12 |
| neezer | yep. | 02:12 |
| IdleOne | microhaxo: wouldn't know honestly. I'm sure there are apps you can install | 02:12 |
| Hydrosis | Replace that for anotehr conky, or you can run the second conky file as an executable script from tehconsole. | 02:13 |
| IdleOne | microhaxo: I don't worry bout such things :) | 02:13 |
| Hydrosis | Wow, sorry if you guy's cant understand my poor spelling and grammar. Ive been hitting the beers all night while I chat. | 02:13 |
| neezer | i'm not quite pickin' up what you're putting down hydrosis | 02:14 |
| IdleOne | Hydrosis: will let you know when it's time to turn off irc hehe | 02:14 |
| edbian | Hydrosis: Don't drink alone! | 02:14 |
| microhaxo | Lol | 02:15 |
| microhaxo | well i have this netbook, i want to make sure i make use of efficiency! | 02:15 |
| mobi-sheep | microhaxo: If you're using Gnome or KDE, that is not efficiency DE. | 02:16 |
| IdleOne | microhaxo: I think UNR is configured to use your netbook to it's fullest potential | 02:16 |
| edbian | microhaxo: a tiling manger is much more efficient. awesome or open box or some such | 02:16 |
| edbian | microhaxo: unr is great for netbooks | 02:16 |
| zaphira13 | How can i Downgrade a Version? | 02:16 |
| Hydrosis | It's true, you can actually drink your sorrows away (as long as you have a computer to play with). Merry Chrisma-Hanu-Kwanza-Rama-Krishna everyone! | 02:16 |
| rabusmar | hello, im having a problem with unr on an msi u123 not recognizing my usb | 02:16 |
| rabusmar | any suggestion? | 02:16 |
| mobi-sheep | !pinning | zaphira13 | 02:16 |
| ubottu | zaphira13: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 02:16 |
| IdleOne | !downgrade | zaphira13 | 02:16 |
| ubottu | zaphira13: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 02:16 |
| hiexpo | ok i finally got it launch the terminal but still an error | 02:17 |
| Hydrosis | Instead of a downgrade, perhaps you could try an Ubuntu based OS like Chrunchbang#!. It's great. | 02:17 |
| microhaxo | edbian, i heard they are identical aside from the special gui. | 02:18 |
| offset_0x0ff0 | hi all | 02:18 |
| microhaxo | and i dont like the restrictions of UNR | 02:18 |
| Hydrosis | Is Crunchbang linux an offical arm of Ubuntu? Somone said that it was... | 02:18 |
| IdleOne | Hydrosis: no it is not | 02:18 |
| Hydrosis | Didnt think it was. Afterall, its doent have ubuntu in the name. | 02:19 |
| offset_0x0ff0 | i've got some problems with memory, swap is never used | 02:19 |
| hiexpo | the was an error launching the child process | 02:19 |
| neezer | how do i check my disks? like sda1, sda2, etc...i want to know which is which. | 02:19 |
| Hydrosis | The most swap Ive EVER used is happening right now: 386MB | 02:19 |
| hiexpo | may i need it to launch the terminal first than the app | 02:20 |
| rabusmar | for my problem with usb, i already tried normal ubuntu, 9.10 too, and had the same problem with the usb not being recognized | 02:20 |
| iceroot | offset_0x0ff0: that is not a problem normally | 02:20 |
| IdleOne | neezer: type df in a terminal | 02:20 |
| neezer | thats it! | 02:21 |
| neezer | i love ther terminal | 02:21 |
| freeksh0w86 | !boot | 02:21 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 02:21 |
| iceroot | neezer: and df -h for a readable output | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | neezer: terminal is beautiful | 02:21 |
| offset_0x0ff0 | 30% of memory is used for programms ,50-70% used for cash , swap is never used, and i cant work | 02:22 |
| neezer | man is beautiful too! | 02:22 |
| IdleOne | neezer: you mean man pages? | 02:22 |
| neezer | haha yes. | 02:22 |
| neezer | sorry | 02:22 |
| mobi-sheep | neezer: If you like colors, pydf. | 02:23 |
| IdleOne | neezer: personnaly not crazy about man pages. written by geeks for geeks often times | 02:23 |
| freeksh0w86 | what's the correct boot option for getting past "unable to find medium with live file system" when running live cd? | 02:23 |
| Hydrosis | I'm starting to love the terminal more and more. Tells me about errors I didnt know existed and is an incredibly powerfultool. | 02:23 |
| neezer | IdleOne: True...but they do help sometimes....and I'm kind of a geek | 02:23 |
| freeksh0w86 | i can't get to check disk for defects or anything w/o that happening... how is it not finding the disc drive??? | 02:23 |
| offset_0x0ff0 | some one can help me?? | 02:24 |
| IdleOne | neezer: well what I meant is I think the man pages should be less technical sometimes | 02:24 |

| freeksh0w86 | anyone get that booting the CD? | 02:30 |
| neezer | it is saying 99% free when it reads, but on my /dev/sda1 in df -h it gives me that it is 29% used. | 02:30 |
| zaphira13 | After a while my FIrefox stucks | 02:30 |
| freeksh0w86 | i can't figure out how to get past it i try "all_generic_ide" option and still no luck | 02:30 |
| zaphira13 | Why? | 02:30 |
| zaphira13 | Especially when i am in you tube, the videos stuck | 02:31 |
| freeksh0w86 | zaphira13, the closed-source "Flash" is still broken and not fixed | 02:31 |
| zaphira13 | freeksh0w86: And what can we do about that? | 02:31 |
| freeksh0w86 | maybe not Flash VM but the mozilla to flash glue code, owned by Adobe, is still not fully functional | 02:31 |
| freeksh0w86 | zaphira13, send Adobe an email asking why they insist on making an essential web platform proprietary and still subject to security issues... | 02:32 |
| zaphira13 | freeksh0w86: how can i install The new Firefox? | 02:32 |
| Hydrosis | sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:32 |
| Hydrosis | in terminal | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 02:33 |
| freeksh0w86 | i dunno if that will help but get flashblock or adblock plus so u can block bad flash apps | 02:33 |
| zaphira13 | firefox is already the newest version. | 02:33 |
| zaphira13 | E: Couldn't find package 3.5 | 02:33 |
| Hydrosis | I use AdBlock Plus. It's great. | 02:33 |
| hiexpo | ok i got it to pop open the terminal but it wont stay open | 02:34 |
| Hydrosis | zaphriah13, have you read the FF website | 02:34 |

| jMyles | I'm having a problem with a thinkpad t40 and wireless networking. I can see my network, but it is grayed out. I suspect that this is because it is a WPA network, and for whatever reason, WPA isn't working. I suspect this because when I try to "create new wireless network," wpa is not available as a security option. | 02:37 |
| trism | Ubuntu_User: remove the ~/.wine directory and the next time you launch a program with wine a default one will be generated (for the reset to defaults part of your question) | 02:37 |

It gave me a nice menu where I chose the type of monitor I was using from a drop down, along with giving me options to choose video driver and resolution. How do I get to this menu again? | 02:40 |
| Ubuntu_User | I did and no change...whats going on? | 02:40 |
| zaphira13 | IdleOne: Which means that i have the 3.5 version but it is still named 3.0? | 02:40 |
| mobile | jMyles: The cisco website's FAQ gave this: A. No, the Linux drivers for the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Wireless Card do not support WPA. | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | zaphira13: no, in Applications > Internet it will be called Shiretoko | 02:40 |

| Real_Christmas | *insatll | 02:43 |
| mobile | jMyles: As is always the way with Linux, support very well may be added at a later date. With a bit of luck, it might do - but if cisco says it can't do it it probably can't. There may be alternative drivers, but.. I doubt it. I reckon it's a safe assumption that there's no WPA support, and that's final. For the time being, anyway. Sorry, man. | 02:43 |

| goose | well, neezer, since my (only) brother is on the couch across from me asleep, I'm fairly sure I'm not the goose you're looking for :p | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | Thank you Pelo | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | Same to you | 02:48 |
| Pelo | nflava, pick I don'T know about the whole drive but a folder is easy | 02:48 |
| neezer | haha true goose. | 02:48 |
| yoshio_221 | hey guys i need another way of installing ubuntu because nothing so far worked? | 02:48 |
| neezer | my bro in on an oil rig right now, so it could have been him. | 02:48 |
| nflava | ill try whatever method you have Pelo | 02:48 |
| nflava | i dont know any way atm | 02:48 |
| Pelo | nflava, are you running a gui ? gnome or somethign ? gnome preferably | 02:49 |
| nflava | i have gnome | 02:49 |
| nflava | i guess just the newest ubuntu | 02:49 |
| Pelo | nflava, pick a folder , any folder , preferably the highest one you are willing to share like don'T pick /home/username but anything below that will do , right click, go to the share tab and follow the instructions | 02:50 |
| zaphira13 | IdleOne: I did but it still says Firefox Web Browser and the version is 3.0 | 02:50 |
| nflava | hmm i should have know it was that easy lol | 02:50 |
| nflava | lemme check it out, thank you | 02:50 |
| Pelo | nflava, welcome to "this is not windows" | 02:50 |
| neezer | pelo, can you share from command line? or does it need to be in nautilus? | 02:50 |
| IdleOne | zaphira13: I don't know what to tell you. it should say Shiretoko. You will see both Firefox and Shiretoko | 02:51 |
| Pelo | neezer, you probably can, but I don't know how, in fact I'm gonna bet you just need to add a folder to a config file somewhere | 02:51 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | nflava, you drives are mounted in /media/ so share that folder, it will be needed to run "sudo nautilus" and do the normal procedure from there | 02:51 |
| ll_r | i want nm-applet (network) to start before firefox at gnome saved-session boot. how can i do it? | 02:52 |
| ll_r | damn desktop | 02:52 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | nflava, the drives are essentially folders in /media/ | 02:52 |
| Pelo | Supersaiyan_IV, only removable media | 02:52 |
| zaphira13 | IdleOne: Oh | 02:53 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Pelo, or securely mounted media like 9.10 does it | 02:53 |
| Pelo | nflava, there are no C or D drives in linux, the system is a bit different, it's more about partitions on drives and they can be mounted where ever you want in the folder hierachy | 02:53 |
| zaphira13 | IdleOne: Thou are right...i didn't see it, and what is the difference now? | 02:53 |

| aqwq | the same error | 03:00 |
| IdleOne | arghh2d2: works fine here | 03:00 |
| Maximillion | How do I install a specific python package, (for example python-dns) on ubuntu? | 03:00 |

| aqwq | Bus error | 03:00 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | arghh2d2, depends on the graphics driver, currently running latest nvidia beta and it works flawlessly | 03:00 |

| iceroot | Boing_: ubuntu dont using different runlevels like suse or other distros | 03:15 |
| iceroot | neezer: linux standard base i think | 03:15 |
| menica67 | ozzloy, hiiiii | 03:15 |
| neezer | cool. | 03:15 |
| Boing_ | ok ty | 03:15 |
| fas3r | sorry somebody use ulogd2? | 03:15 |
| jjmartin | lsb_release is only for debia distros | 03:15 |
| iceroot | neezer: yes, man lsb_release is telling linux standard base | 03:15 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` yes i guess....i want internet on both | 03:15 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | neezer, "lsb_release command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and distribution-specific information." | 03:16 |
| iceroot | !anyone | fas3r | 03:16 |

| ubottu | fas3r: 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? | 03:16 |
| sinclair86 | dante123 http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html | 03:16 |
| fas3r | i don't have mac adress in ulog2 table and i just want know if it's general problem because don't help me on this point :s | 03:16 |
| fas3r | because i don't find answer on goole about that* | 03:16 |
| Dante123 | kjcole have you looked at mouse settings under gnome to make sure they are right? | 03:16 |
| fas3r | ubottu: i know but nobody use ulogd2 so it's why i asking first ^^ | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | kjcole: have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 03:17 |
| fas3r | iceroot : i know but nobody use ulogd2 so it's why i asking first ^^ | 03:18 |
| `mOOse` | Dante123: I know osx can do it - gimme a sec to see if I can find something for you | 03:18 |
| kjcole | Dantel123: As near as I can tell, they were fine. I'm in KDE right now, so it's a bit hard to check immediately -- and because GNOME has become so unusable without being able to click on anything. | 03:18 |
| Dante123 | sinclair86 i followed that guid and i could connect with adhoc but no internet sharing | 03:18 |
| iceroot | fas3r: if nobody is using it, its useless to ask if someone is using it | 03:18 |
| fas3r | iceroot: well no it's just in beta mod .. the first release come soon so .. we never know ^^ | 03:18 |
| menica67 | anyone know how to make a sony vaio motion eye camera work in ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| kjcole | Dantel123: (I did manage to get to the System Settings and saw nothing odd about the mouse settings there.) | 03:19 |
| fas3r | ulogd2 will be replace ulogd | 03:19 |
| Dante123 | kjcole it is toughpad that is screwed right? have u tried a usb or other mouse | 03:19 |
| `mOOse` | Dante123: hostapd is the pgm you will probably want | 03:19 |
| kjcole | IdleOne: Checking now. I did some digging on help.ubuntu.com a few days ago, but I wasn't zeroing in on the difference between GNOME and KDE. Most advice wanted me to screw w/ xorg.conf, which isn't the source of trouble. | 03:20 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` can i add that from ubuntu software centre and does only wired host need it? | 03:21 |
| `mOOse` | reading - hang on | 03:21 |
| IdleOne | kjcole: that helped me get my touchpad working when I had one | 03:21 |
| ZanQdo | hi, ive been trying to install netbook remix 9.10 and my netbook will not boot on the USB no matter what | 03:21 |
| IdleOne | ZanQdo: changed bios to boot from USB first? | 03:21 |
| ZanQdo | yes | 03:22 |
| kjcole | Dantel123: Nope. I don't have one handy. | 03:22 |
| Renfley | anyone familer with conky? | 03:22 |
| ZanQdo | I have tried with many aps for creating a bootable usb drive | 03:22 |
| Dante123 | ZanQdo what brand of usb flash drive u using | 03:22 |
| mobile | Renfley: Briefly. What's up? | 03:22 |
| ZanQdo | last was unetbootin | 03:22 |
| geeXmas | !conky | 03:22 |
| kjcole | IdleOne: Thanks. It looks like that offers a few ideas worth pursuing. | 03:22 |
| Dante123 | i have had issues with sandisc cruzer and booting from usb | 03:22 |
| ZanQdo | its a kingston | 03:22 |
| ZanQdo | I have used it to install the past version of remix | 03:23 |
| Renfley | yea conky lol | 03:23 |
| zetheroo | MERRY CHRISTMAS Ubuntu Community!!! | 03:23 |
| zetheroo | :) | 03:23 |
| `mOOse` | what's the error ZanQdo | 03:23 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: Do you have windows on this netbook? Try using unetbootin to boot directly from the ISO and the windows filesystem (yeah you can do that, yeah it is weird as hell) | 03:23 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: I have windows but its completly unusable | 03:23 |
| Dante123 | ive had error with just one pc and then same usb flash drive works on another pc fine | 03:23 |
| ZanQdo | and ubuntu is fucked up too, it wont let me install new packages | 03:23 |
| ZanQdo | :s | 03:23 |
| `mOOse` | ZanQdo: file:///home/ubuntu/.mozilla/firefox/febeprof.UbuntumOOse/ScrapBook/data/20091203055702/index.html | 03:24 |
| `mOOse` | use their installers - they ROCK | 03:24 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: ouch, then good luck with your USB drive! | 03:24 |
| `mOOse` | whoa | 03:24 |
| ZanQdo | Im trying creating the bootable drive from open suse and from another windows machine | 03:24 |
| `mOOse` | sorry - wrong url | 03:24 |
| fas3r | please santa help me ... :) | 03:24 |

| `mOOse` | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ | 03:24 |
| `mOOse` | ZanQdo: ^^ | 03:25 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` any more clues | 03:25 |
| ZanQdo | m0los: I tried that too.. | 03:25 |
| blackest_knight | ZanQdo: unetbootin :) | 03:25 |
| ZanQdo | blackest_knight: that too.. | 03:25 |
| edbian | blackest_knight: He's already using it | 03:25 |
| ZanQdo | I dont know whats wrong, I installed 9.04 succesfully | 03:26 |
| `mOOse` | well Dante123, I got http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/hostapd | 03:26 |
| IdleOne | kjcole: welcome | 03:26 |
| ZanQdo | now 9.10 wont work | 03:26 |
| Dante123 | ZanQdo do you have a second usb to try...maybe it is a prob specific to that usb or even pc bios | 03:26 |
| `mOOse` | if you google hostapd ubuntu you'll come up with 13040952 hits ;-) | 03:26 |
| ZanQdo | I dont, but I have installed using this usb drive | 03:26 |
| ZanQdo | both the previous remix and also suse 11.2 | 03:26 |
| ZanQdo | the usb drive works fine | 03:26 |
| blackest_knight | whats the issue its straight forward as long as you know where you write it and how to boot it | 03:26 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: When you try to boot from the usb drive what happens?? | 03:27 |
| `mOOse` | yea, win32 format, letter rip | 03:27 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: it goes directly to my grub | 03:27 |
| ZanQdo | and loads ubuntu 9.04 | 03:27 |
| ZanQdo | I will try booting in another pc | 03:27 |
| `mOOse` | you got your bios set to load usb first? | 03:27 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: So I assume you tell the bios to boot the drive, it tries, fails, and skips to the next device?? | 03:28 |
| `mOOse` | (stupid q but...) | 03:28 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` i found one walkthrough that makes it sound very simple...but i have not tried that yet.....right now im using internet in hotel lobby | 03:28 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: apparently, yes | 03:28 |
| blackest_knight | ZanQdo: ok so how do you select the boot drive ? | 03:28 |
| ZanQdo | blackest_knight: I try both in the bios, putting the usb drive as first boot option | 03:28 |
| ZanQdo | and also with F12 | 03:28 |
| `mOOse` | it's not all that hard Dante123 - I haven't done it but I've seen several ways it's done in windows....sorry can't be of more help - but I *do* know it's possible ;-) | 03:28 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: I think you should try and get the bios to fail on the usb drive and give up so you can get some errors. | 03:29 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Daniel_G, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html/comment-page-1#comment-1966 an alternative | 03:29 |
| ZanQdo | the bios has a way to select which drive to boot from | 03:29 |
| piklu | hello | 03:29 |
| digitalaxis | Hey guys, is there like a limewire application for ubuntu? for downloading music and such | 03:29 |
| kraitos | login splash question ? | 03:29 |
| geeXmas | mc | 03:29 |
| `mOOse` | digitalaxis: nicotine plus | 03:29 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: Also, are you sure grub is installed on the drive? | 03:29 |
| `mOOse` | there is also a bearshare p2p app | 03:29 |
| edbian | digitalaxis: Most of use bit torrent I suspect because it is less often considered illegal | 03:30 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Dante123, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing 9.10 method | 03:31 |
| kraitos | i'm trying to set up a new splash screen can anyone help? | 03:31 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: yes sure | 03:31 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: oh, what drive | 03:31 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` one method i already followed had you create adhoc then create address, netmask, gateway..but that did nit work for sharing but i could connect....im gonna try the other way....simpler but requires dnsmasq-base see http://zendevi.com/computing/linux/ubuntu-tip-sharing-a-wired-connection/ | 03:31 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: The usb drive! :) | 03:31 |
| `mOOse` | ICS is for wired though | 03:31 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: ok I tried on another machine and same problem | 03:31 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: then it has to be something in this image/drive | 03:31 |
| ZanQdo | :s | 03:31 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: Then somethings wrong with the usb drive! | 03:32 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: yeah | 03:32 |
| Dante123 | Supersaiyan_IV reading that thanks | 03:32 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: Why don't you look up how to install grub on a usb drive? That's my advice! Unfortunately it just about ends there though :/ | 03:32 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: I'll be here if you have less specific questions though! | 03:33 |
| edbian | kraitos: I can help you :) | 03:33 |
| edbian | kraitos: Do you have the login theme .tar.gz somewhere on your system? | 03:33 |
| `mOOse` | I don't know about other distros but the pendrive apps for ubuntu work really well | 03:33 |
| kraitos | edbian; in were do you mean | 03:34 |
| edbian | kraitos: Did you download a theme? | 03:34 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Dante123, actually the 9.10 method is only for sharing with two ethernet ports, so it's not accurate information | 03:34 |
| blackest_knight | ZanQdo: can you read the drive is the partition set bootable (what does gparted tell you) (manage flags ->boot) | 03:34 |
| kraitos | edbian; yes, i did. i download it with art manager | 03:35 |
| edbian | kraitos: Where is it? | 03:35 |
| edbian | kraitos: I'm unfamiliar with that app? | 03:35 |
| Dante123 | Supersaiyan_IV do you think the guy in this article is oversimplyfying it..... http://zendevi.com/computing/linux/ubuntu-tip-sharing-a-wired-connection/ because article u posted means doing a lot more....especially since i am sharing via wireless | 03:35 |
| freetos | does anyone know on how to install the latest wineasio file to run besides the source.tar.bz1 and compiling by it bye hand | 03:35 |
| aqwq | hey | 03:36 |
| edbian | freetos: There is no other way. | 03:36 |
| aqwq | i want open my email:( | 03:36 |
| kraitos | edbian; it looks for diferent eye candys to download and install. but it won't let me install of it. because the file is a .tar.gz | 03:36 |
| aqwq | i cantttttttttttttt | 03:36 |
| kraitos | edbian; in other words i have to manually install it and i don't know how too. could you please help with this? | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: what kind of theme/part is it? theres the gnome-art and gnome-artng programs that can sutomate installing new themes. | 03:37 |
| Dante123 | going to try it although it looks "too easy" Supersaiyan_IV and `mOOse` thanks for help | 03:37 |
| edbian | kraitos: Yeah, that is easy | 03:37 |
| ZanQdo | edbian: thanks, Ill try and track this problem a bit more, I can try installing an open suse on the same drive, if it works then its a problem with ubuntu | 03:37 |
| kraitos | edbian; so what is the first step | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: the term 'theme' is a little overused at times and can mean different 'things' depending on the theme part you are refering to. | 03:37 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Dante123, he assumes you don't have a wifi dhcp server, which is the case, it could work | 03:37 |
| edbian | ZanQdo: When you install to the pen drive watch carefully for errors! | 03:37 |
| `mOOse` | Dante123: - it really isn't hard from what I've read - I know in windoze there's a few pgms that set it up effortlessly | 03:37 |
| kraitos | edbian; right | 03:38 |
| `mOOse` | yer welcome - good luck! | 03:38 |
| blackest_knight | Dante123: sharing is easy as long as you remember to turn on ip forward in sysctrl | 03:38 |
| edbian | kraitos: Sorry, yeah, open the system - | 03:38 |
| mobi-sheep | Dante123: Hi, I just got here. What are you trying to accomplish? o.o | 03:38 |
| edbian | kraitos: Sorry, open the system -> admin -> login window | 03:38 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | mobi-sheep, he wants to share his ethernet internet through wifi | 03:38 |
| edbian | kraitos: Then open the folder that has the .tar.gz file in it | 03:38 |
| kraitos | edbian; i'm there | 03:38 |
| kraitos | edbian; do i have to unlock it first or something else? | 03:39 |
| edbian | kraitos: go to the local tab | 03:39 |
| blackest_knight | Dante123: i'm using ppp0 for net connected wirelessly to a router and using the ppp0 for the net for the lan , ssh in to other lan pc's | 03:39 |
| edbian | kraitos: i don't know, I don't think you have to unlock it | 03:39 |
| mobi-sheep | Supersaiyan_IV, Dante123: Install bridge-utils and set up a new "Bridging" profile in NetworkManager --> Method: Shared. | 03:40 |
| Dante123 | mobi-sheep and blackest_knight, i want to share wired hotel internet from one dell mini 9 running with dell mini 10v wireless ....one method i already followed had you create adhoc then create address, netmask, gateway..but that did nit work for sharing but i could connect....im gonna try the other way....simpler but requires dnsmasq-base see http://zendevi.com/computing/linux/ubuntu-tip-sharing-a-wired-connection/ | 03:40 |
| edbian | kraitos: now that you have both open you can either hit that little add button or you can drag the .tar.gz into the window with the other themes | 03:40 |
| buttons840 | what can i try to end a process if kill doesn't work? i pull up top, and pid 3769 is using 100 cpu, so i sudo kill 3769 and it doesn't do anything. what else can i try? | 03:40 |
| `mOOse` | yea, the problem is having two simultaneous connects on one wifi adapter | 03:40 |
| Dante123 | i have no router at my disposal | 03:40 |
| kraitos | edbian; hey i went to system > admin > login screen and all the option are greyed out and the only available is unlock. | 03:41 |
| `mOOse` | buttons840: kill -9 | 03:41 |
| edbian | buttons840: sudo kill -9 | 03:41 |
| edbian | kraitos: | 03:41 |
| mobi-sheep | Dante123: You sure have lot of Dell Mini. Any particular reason why? :) | 03:41 |
| blackest_knight | the router just makes it easier :) | 03:41 |
| edbian | kraitos: Oh yeah, sorry unlock it first | 03:41 |
| edbian | kraitos: :D | 03:41 |
| kraitos | edbian; alright now what | 03:41 |
| edbian | kraitos: Either use the add | 03:42 |
| edbian | kraitos: The add button* | 03:42 |
| syrius | I have a question | 03:42 |
| edbian | syrius: Well what is it already!?!?! | 03:42 |
| kraitos | edbian; there is no add button | 03:42 |
| buttons840 | edbian, what is this kill -9? | 03:42 |
| buttons840 | (it | 03:42 |
| edbian | kraitos: What buttons are there? Sorry I'm using an older version of ubuntu | 03:42 |
| buttons840 | (i still can't kill it, but i don't think i used your suggestion correctly) | 03:42 |
| syrius | why does it seem like I don't really have a 100 m/s connection when it says so in connection info in ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| Dante123 | dell9 running 9.10 has wired internet......i will create adhoc with wireless adapter...then use mini10v 9.04 to connect via wifi with the dell 9 and hopefully share internet as desribed here.....im in hotel for next two days...one mini is my wife's the other from school....i borrowed it...im a teacger by trade | 03:43 |
| edbian | buttons840: just like you used kill before but add a -9 "sudo kill -9 <pid>" | 03:43 |
| syrius | can the bandwith I get to my machine also be effected by the hardware I am using? | 03:43 |
| blackest_knight | Dante123: ican send you a script | 03:43 |
| edbian | buttons840: It's more powerful, doesn't take no for an answer :) | 03:43 |
| edbian | syrius: Only the network card | 03:43 |
| buttons840 | what is the -9, is there a -8? | 03:43 |
| syrius | so not the cpu or anything | 03:43 |
| `mOOse` | 9 is the highest elevated level the command will run at | 03:44 |
| Dante123 | instructions im trying...(but seems too easy to work).... http://zendevi.com/computing/linux/ubuntu-tip-sharing-a-wired-connection/ | 03:44 |
| syrius | well also the router and modem I would think also edbian | 03:44 |
| mobi-sheep | Dante123: The hotel does not have Wifi? | 03:44 |
| kraitos | edbian; the main title on this says "when the computer starts-up" | 03:44 |
| syrius | why is it that an uncapped router can make your connection faster? | 03:44 |
| `mOOse` | buttons840: man kill for details | 03:44 |
| Dante123 | blackest_knight sure | 03:44 |
| syrius | uncapped modem | 03:44 |
| edbian | syrius: Yeah, the router and modem def. But on the computer I'm pretty sure the network card is the only thing that matters | 03:44 |
| edbian | kraitos: Are you on the local tab? | 03:45 |
| `mOOse` | Dante123: - what's there to lose - come back in here and tell us when/if you get it running | 03:45 |
| kraitos | edbian; there is no local tab, i'm not sure what you are talking about. | 03:45 |
| `mOOse` | looks simple enough | 03:45 |
| edbian | syrius: Because proprietary vendors cap their routers / modems so they run cooler and under less stress (so they last longer) | 03:45 |
| jeez1234 | hi, i'm planning to reinstall my OS [ubuntu]. how do i back up my history and stuff so that i can restore it in the fresh install? | 03:45 |
| mobi-sheep | !backup | jeez1234 | 03:45 |
| ubottu | jeez1234: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:45 |
| edbian | kraitos: I'm sorry, I'm using an older version of ubuntu so mine looks different | 03:45 |
| jeez1234 | mobi-sheep: thanks, will check it out! | 03:46 |
| kraitos | edbian; right, what version are you using, i'm using 9.10 | 03:46 |
| edbian | kraitos: Some how there is a way to add new themes. Do you have a tab that shows the themes you can switch to in there? | 03:46 |
| edbian | kraitos: I'm using 8.04 cause it's LTS | 03:46 |
| * buttons840 reads "kill -9 -1" and is tempted to try it | 03:46 | |
| `mOOse` | they cap the routers to keep net congestion down on local nodes | 03:46 |
| syrius | why is it against the law to uncapped your router? edbian | 03:46 |
| kraitos | edbian; i don't know i was hoping you did. | 03:46 |
| edbian | buttons840: Try it only if the process refuses to die under other circumstances | 03:46 |
| edbian | syrius: I don't think it is... Not here in America anyway | 03:46 |
| Dante123 | mobi-sheep wifi in lobby, wired in rooms....new owner will likely upgrade but not yet | 03:47 |
| kraitos | edbian; well thanks anyways ill just ask someone else | 03:47 |
| zetheroo | anyone know how to split a DVD iso onto CD's? | 03:47 |
| === vbits is now known as Vbitz | ||
| edbian | kraitos: I'm sorry :( good luck! | 03:47 |
| mobi-sheep | syrius: http://tinyurl.com/y94m2v5 (I'm going to read that too. :)) | 03:47 |
| kraitos | edbian; don't worry about it. | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. never seen a way to uncap a 'router' just the 'cable modem' | 03:47 |
| kraitos | can anyone help me change the splash screen? | 03:47 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: I assume he meant install different software on it | 03:48 |
| mobi-sheep | Dante123: I'm going to try this adhoc thing. | 03:48 |
| Dante123 | `mOOse` will do | 03:48 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: Will you help kraitos | 03:48 |
| kraitos | edbian; thanks | 03:48 |
| `mOOse` | :-) | 03:48 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: can you help me with changing the login splash? | 03:48 |
| kraitos | Merry christmas everyone | 03:49 |
| mordof | what xorg version does karmic use? | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: the usplasy (ubuntu logo) or the xsplash the animation right befor gdm starts and after it.. right befor the user desktop shows up. | 03:49 |
| Dante123 | mobi-sheep okay i will be back in a few | 03:50 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: okay can you slowly explain this to be i just started using ubuntu 3 months ago, still a newby. | 03:50 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: The gdm login theme | 03:50 |
| Dante123 | gotta have my christmas beer | 03:50 |
| `mOOse` | mOO | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: i wouldenent be worrying about the splash screens then. | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | edbian: thats not related to the splash's :) thats gdm | 03:50 |

| edbian | Dr_Willis: I know, he kept calling it the login screen when asking me for help | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: GRUB menu -> ubuntu 'logo' (little white ubuntu logo on black screen) -> xsplash animation ---> GDM (you login) --> xsplash anim again.. --> actual desktop | 03:51 |
| Ubuntu_User | Hi I need help...and Winehq is dead | 03:52 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: alright | 03:52 |
| Ubuntu_User | Anyone know about wine problems? | 03:52 |
| edbian | kraitos: He's good huh? | 03:52 |
| kraitos | edbian; just a little | 03:53 |
| QAH | If I modify ubuntu to my liking, how can I install the system as is on different computers? Like a clone but for different hardware. | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !backup | QAH | 03:53 |
| ubottu | QAH: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:53 |
| edbian | QAH: There are packages for that. Gimmie a minute I'll find it | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | QAH: or check out the fsarchiver tool (not in the repos , but avail on several live cd's) | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Or mondo/mindi, or... proberly a dozen+ other ways to do it. | 03:54 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: i'm trying to change the splash screen were you login at first so there is a different picture when i login. | 03:54 |
| Ubuntu_User | Sorry if my question was hard | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: the splas screen is befor you login. not 'where' you login. | 03:54 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: and i would also like to change my xsplash also | 03:54 |
| edbian | QAH: It's called live-magic | 03:54 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: got it. so how do i change that. | 03:54 |
| QAH | So if I backup the system can it run on other computers? Will I have driver problems | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: xplash files are in /usr/share/xsplash i think. | 03:54 |
| QAH | ebian: Thanks | 03:55 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: so do i just go there and swich files or something like that? | 03:55 |
| edbian | QAH: The drivers in linux are called modules. When the system boots all of the hardware is probed live and the appropriate modules are selected by the system automatically. There are hundreds of modules in the linux kernel | 03:55 |
| microhaxo | I must say, Ubuntu 9.10 is pretty damn good. No problems what so ever with my netbook, everything Ootb. A+ | 03:55 |
| pinPoint | can anyone help me with postfix? | 03:56 |
| pinPoint | this -> openssl genrsa 1024 > smtpd.key | 03:56 |
| edbian | QAH: You can add hardware to your system and linux usually picks it up and makes it work perfectly without the user doing anything | 03:56 |
| Ubuntu_User | Hey I'm running KlamAV and its calling Wine and Playon linux a virus Im confused | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: yep. You can change the backgrounds and xpslash animations - theres new ones at the gnome-look.org site. | 03:56 |
| pinPoint | ends with permission denied whether I use sudo or not | 03:56 |
| teleri | on UNR 9.10 on a Acer Aspire D250 and two-Finger scrolling does not work even when enabled | 03:56 |
| edbian | QAH: You can switch all the hardware (move the hdd to a different computer) and the system should still work fine | 03:56 |
| QAH | edbian: Ok so I can move it to another pc and it will get the correct drivers | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: and if you really wanted you could put some wallpaper image on the grub menu background. thasts about all i customuze | 03:57 |
| QAH | Great | 03:57 |
| QAH | Thanks for your help | 03:57 |
| iceroot | QAH: correct, linux is very felxible by changing the hardware | 03:57 |
| edbian | QAH: It shouldn't be a problem. All of the drivers are already in linux! :) It's the best system ever | 03:57 |
| QAH | I am trying to make a personal distro. | 03:57 |
| kraitos | Dr_Willis: what file do i change for the background and xsplash animation? | 03:57 |
| edbian | QAH: AWESOME good luck! People are very picky about their distro | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: look in the splash directory - its rather obvious. | 03:58 |
| iceroot | QAH: because of that you can install linux on a usb-stick and use it at every computer (same architecutre) | 03:58 |
| frankely | hey guys what means, ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos /usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600.jpg | 03:58 |

| kraitos | Dr_Willis: i was just getting ready to ask the location, thanks | 03:59 |
| edbian | frankely: readahead is a program that makes programs launch faster by watching which ones you use the most and putting them in a cache i the ram. | 03:59 |
| `mOOse` | you wouldn't know it unless I told you - I got more crap on this thing than a christmas turkey | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: learn to use the locate command. | 03:59 |
| edbian | frankely: IT is saying that it will begin to profile what programs you use on the next reboot | 03:59 |
| iceroot | `mOOse`: can you change the nick without `? | 03:59 |
| `mOOse` | no | 03:59 |

| `mOOse` | iceroot: not a us keyboard? | 04:00 |

| Jaza | has anyone been able to make a audio CD without the 2sec break between tracks?? | 04:07 |
| r3dux | Jaza, have you tried k3b? | 04:07 |
| alankila | Jaza: the keyword for that is disc-at-once. | 04:08 |
| doug_ | Can anyone help me with my wifi problem? I've never had this problem before and I've googled it and there are no results at all | 04:08 |
| r3dux | Jaza - I used to know how to do that, but that was back in the day using nero on Win32 | 04:08 |
| doug_ | I can see other wifi networks just not mine | 04:08 |
| r3dux | jaza - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=553185 | 04:09 |

| barraponto | how do i list all groups? (user groups, like audio, video, httpd) | 04:09 |
| iceroot | r3dux: nas with usb dont need eth1 | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | kraitos: just search look for 'xsplash' it will show several dozen alternatives people ahve uploaded. exore the pacakges/files you can mixx/match the logos/throbber and backgrounds if you want. | 04:09 |
| doug_ | no my network is not hidden. | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | barraponto: cat /etc/groups is one way i think | 04:09 |
| Jaza | Thanks, r3dux | 04:09 |

| r3dux | iceroot, my nas is fine to connect to through ethernet, unfortunately I'm out on the road w/ no router - just the nas and a USB cable. It creates a ETH1 device when I connect it - damned if I can connect to the NAS tho =/ | 04:10 |
| silverPan | doug_ did you try to see if it's accessible from a different system? maybe it's your router... | 04:10 |
| ndan | i was wondering, many times i'm trapped in terminal and need to connect to a wireless access point ... no gui, my searches lead to simple iw and i can get scan and stuff to work. but how do i actually connect. | 04:10 |

| salambander | koala^xmas: ah, thanks. cheers | 04:12 |
| silverPan | barraponto if you're logged as the user in question the use 'groups' at the commandline. | 04:12 |
| r3dux | iceroot, have assigned the eth1 interface an IP with sudo ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2, and I can ping it - just can't connect using "sudo mount /mnt/10.0.0.2 /mnt/Share -o user=MYUSERNAME,passowrd=MYPASSWORD" | 04:13 |
| zetheroo | I have been trying to create a bootable USB HDD for installing Ubuntu on other computers but I cannot get it to boot ... | 04:13 |

| silverPan | ;) | 04:13 |
| iceroot | r3dux: wrong command | 04:13 |
| r3dux | Sorry, forgot to put "sudo mount -t cifs", have tried "-t smbfs" too - neither work | 04:13 |
| Ubuntu_User | I don't know...about wine not working or KlamAV saying it's loose? | 04:14 |
| iceroot | r3dux: not /mnt/10.0.0.2 its mount 10.0.0.2 | 04:14 |
| iceroot | r3dux: or //10.0.0.2 for cifs | 04:14 |

| shashike | will cracks work under wine?? | 04:16 |
| silverPan | shashike: have you studied the released information on the winehq website?? | 04:16 |
| alankila | r3dux: mount is a bit complicated to work right, so it might be easier to get smbclient right first and then work on the mount. | 04:16 |
| zetheroo | silverPan: unetbootin and the default ubuntu app | 04:16 |
| iceroot | shashike: again, please look at the appdb | 04:16 |
| shashike | will cracks work under wine?? | 04:16 |

| poi77 | Hi! I am trying to share files between my ubuntu machines. Is NFS a secure way to do this? I need it mounted onn the remote machine | 04:17 |
| r3dux | smbclient at least gives me a login failure (because it's trying to use my current login username not the one setup on the NAS) - will try some more smbclient stuff - thank you! | 04:18 |
| mOOey | yay! | 04:18 |
| iceroot | poi77: nfs is not secure | 04:18 |
| Dante1231 | blackknight thanks too....although i ended up getting it to work simple way....but thanks for help/effort | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | shashike: it all depens on the program/game and Yes. i have used no-cd-cracked games in wine. often its the only way the game will run. depending on the protection | 04:18 |
| mOOey | I set it up myself so when I get the chance I'm going to test it too | 04:18 |
| alankila | r3dux: yes, use the -U option to enter another username | 04:18 |
| zetheroo | iceroot: both apps say the process was competed successfully | 04:18 |
| Kr0ntab | poi77, if you're on a private network... its perfectly fine... | 04:18 |
| iceroot | poi77: maybe if you can use nfsv4 | 04:18 |
| r3dux | Will try that now, alankila :) | 04:18 |
| YouMust | how can i change the permissions on my USB hdd, i put sudo chmod -rw-r--r-- /dev/sdc, but it says, chmod: /dev/sdc: new permissions are ----w----, not --------- ?? | 04:18 |
| mOOey | <-- on laptop with usb persistent 9.10 here | 04:18 |
| shashike | oh | 04:18 |
| poi77 | iceroot: What are the risks? are there alternatives? | 04:19 |
| shashike | thanx | 04:19 |
| shashike | and merry christams!!!!!! | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: one normally chmode/chowns the filesystem/files/dirctores. not the device. | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: and it will also depend on the kind of filesystem. | 04:19 |
| jayk- | does anybody know how to force a reconfig of xwindows? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it returns me to a root prompt within a second or two. i also tried -phigh | 04:19 |
| r3dux | smbclient //10.0.0.2/Share -U r3dux2 / Enter r3dux2's password: / Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0] / tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME | 04:19 |
| r3dux | So close :D | 04:19 |
| YouMust | Dr_Willis, thankyou its ext2 is that ok? | 04:19 |
| iceroot | poi77: the problem is you dont have user-login just access controlling for ip-adresses (with nfs less then v4) | 04:19 |
| silverPan | zetheroo: not trying to avoid directly answering your question... but i use usb-creator without a hitch. it's in the repositories.... don't forget to make sure your bios is set to boot the drive. | 04:20 |
| poi77 | iceroot: Thanks, but can you explain in simpler terms? | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: you use the prioper chmod/chown command to set the permissions of the files/directories. chmod/chowning the /media/whatever mountpoint will change the ownership of the 'root' of the drive. but not all the drive | 04:20 |
| mOOey | also the pendrive apps work great for setting up a persistent casper-rw on a usb drive | 04:20 |
| iceroot | poi77: its it just for a private network? | 04:20 |
| poi77 | iceroot: No its over the internet | 04:20 |
| iceroot | poi77: hm | 04:21 |
| poi77 | iceroot: Sorry? | 04:21 |
| YouMust | Dr_Willis: so it would be best just to make a directory on that device and use that ? | 04:21 |
| mordof | the libnotify .. notification popup - is there a way to configure the offset for it? it's way in the middle of my screen (just upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04) | 04:21 |
| iceroot | poi77: and who should access the nfs-share? | 04:21 |
| silverPan | poi77: do you just need to access files on a linux server remotely? i use KFTP | 04:22 |
| poi77 | iceroot: Only me | 04:22 |
| iceroot | poi77: static ip? | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: thats what i always do | 04:22 |
| zetheroo | silverPan: will try that one out .. and yes the boot device is set to USB first | 04:22 |
| silverPan | poi77: it will handle SSH/SCP protocols... i also use DyDNS | 04:22 |
| poi77 | iceroot: On my desktop (in the office), yes. On my home PC (the one accessing the files), no | 04:22 |
| YouMust | Dr_Willis: sounds fine too me :D thx | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: sudo mkdir UsersStuff then 'sudo chown user.user UsersStuff' Or somthing like that | 04:22 |
| mOOey | there should be a channel for usb installs ;-) | 04:22 |
| terrorink | how do i set up the ctrl alt backspace kill x server ? | 04:23 |
| pepperjack | poi77: just setup samba its like 3 lines is smb.conf :) | 04:23 |
| iceroot | poi77: then nfs is not a good idea, because its hard to manage the login-process if not using nfsv4 | 04:23 |
| poi77 | silverPan: SSH/SCP (at least the gui) does not really mount, so some software can't access files | 04:23 |
| johntramp | can i install ubuntu from a usb stick using dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb ? | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | johntramp: No. that wont work | 04:23 |
| iceroot | poi77: maybe have a look at sshfs | 04:23 |
| johntramp | ok | 04:23 |
| mOOey | johntramp: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ | 04:23 |
| pepperjack | q | 04:23 |
| r3dux | terrorink - you can do it, but you could also just do Right-CTRL+PrntScrn+K to do the same thing | 04:23 |
| iceroot | poi77: or cifs (user login instead of ip-login) | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | johntramp: you can set up grub2 to boot an iso file. :) thats close.. | 04:23 |
| YouMust | Dr_Willis can i get a group to bea ble to read the folder | 04:24 |
| silverPan | poi77: mount over internet is REALLY risky if there is a chance for disconnects. | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | YouMust: proberly can. I rareluy mess with groups. Small home lans here. | 04:24 |
| johntramp | Dr_Willis: i think i am only using grub1 | 04:24 |
| poi77 | iceroot: Do any of these allow mounting? | 04:24 |
| nanotube | about my earlier question about usb-creator: i upgraded to jaunty's version of usb-creator (i'm on intrepid), and then it recognized my usb hdd without any trouble. so... for future reference. :) | 04:24 |
| terrorink | how do i set up the ctrl alt backspace kill x server ? im on 9.04 | 04:25 |
| poi77 | silverPan: Thanks, in what sense is it risky (security, data loss, crashes?) | 04:25 |
| mOOey | nanotube: awesome | 04:25 |
| silverPan | poi77: what are you trying to accomplish... a mount may not be needed? | 04:25 |
| mOOey | I know how frustrating it is! | 04:25 |
| iceroot | poi77: yes, cifs and sshfs can be mounted | 04:25 |
| monra | Hello. When I click the key "\" in my Ubuntu I get a "GNOME Terminal Help" instead of the key. So I cannot write this key only if I close X. Any ideas why is this happening or how to fix it? | 04:25 |

| ubottu | terrorink: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 04:25 |
| silverPan | poi77: yeah, imagine a newb hot swap.... jerk cord... re-insert cord?!?! O_O definite data loss dude! | 04:25 |
| johntramp | or would that have been a special image? | 04:25 |
| iceroot | poi77: with sshfs you have crypted data-transfer | 04:26 |
| terrorink | i dont wanna restart it i wanna kill it | 04:26 |
| r3dux | dontzap... that's the one.... | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html | 04:26 |
| keth802 | hey having trouble with internets. I can connect to any unsecured network, but I can't connect to anything with WPA, WEP, PEAP, anything | 04:26 |
| terrorink | im in 9.04 not 9.10 | 04:26 |
| terrorink | yea dontzap works for 9.10 | 04:26 |
| teleri | on UNR 9.10 on a Acer Aspire D250 and two-Finger scrolling does not work even when enabled | 04:26 |
| terrorink | it even says for 9.10 and higher | 04:26 |
| r3dux | RightCTRL+PrintScrn+K does the same thing. terror - dontzap works on both. | 04:26 |
| r3dux | sudo apt-get install dontzap | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | dontzap is for 9.04 = Jaunty I think | 04:26 |
| terrorink | well i just pressed it like 5 times holding all down and it dont work | 04:27 |
| r3dux | reboot 1st. | 04:27 |
| poi77 | silverPan: I need to be able to access files from programs that do not appear to support Ubuntu's sftp://... system | 04:27 |
| terrorink | i tried dontzap it just restarts x | 04:27 |
| terrorink | it doesnt kill to terminal | 04:27 |
| gourd_captain1 | How do I install sound juicer in Xubuntu 9.10 without it installing PulseAudio as well? | 04:27 |
| poi77 | silverPan: i.e., those directories cannot be accesed | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: thats because gdm is restarting.. it DID kill X. and gdm respanws it like its set up to. | 04:27 |
| r3dux | It just restarts X? Tat what Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is supposed to do? What did you expect to happen? | 04:27 |
| Whompapotamus | any vsftpd supports in here tonight... have an error that i can | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: if you want no X going.. stop the gdm service | 04:27 |
| Whompapotamus | can't quite solve | 04:28 |
| iceroot | !details | Whompapotamus | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Whompapotamus: 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 ..." | 04:28 |
| terrorink | ok is there a shortcut command to kill x ? | 04:28 |
| downgrade | what day today? | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: stop the gdm service... | 04:28 |
| silverPan | poi77: i see what your are saying. hang on a sec, i've been researching this issue for our office... | 04:28 |
| r3dux | If you want no X going, boot to a different runlevel | 04:28 |
| terrorink | i wanna be able to do it on command :\ | 04:28 |
| Billiard | terrorink: sudo service gdm stop | 04:28 |
| iceroot | r3dux: ubuntu is not using different runlevels like suse | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: then bind the command to stop gdm to some key combo,. | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | 'gksu service stop' | 04:29 |
| poi77 | silverPan: thanks! | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: this is linux.. of course you can do that. :) | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | 'linux - Your OS - Your Way' | 04:29 |
| r3dux | My understanding was that all linux distros use runlevels, and you could boot to runlevel 1 by modifying your grub line, for the easiest way | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | 'once you figure out how' | 04:29 |
| keth802 | i am using ubuntu 9.10 on an old hp pavillion ze5300 laptop. the wireless card works perfectly and i can connect to unsecured networks, however i can't connect to my home network because it's secured. Help? | 04:29 |
| Dr_Willis | r3dux: ubuntu dosent use the sysv system like others do.. runlevels are not quite the same as they used to be years ago. | 04:30 |
| alankila | r3dux: runlevels are no longer user servicable parts, really. System uses them to reboot and shut down, and there is single user mode at runlevel 1, for certain emergencies and administrative tasks | 04:30 |
| terrorink | mm is there anyway to make it work without pass ? | 04:30 |
| Whompapotamus | I have a question with SSL for vsftpd - i have created my config file correctly and can connect on my local host and LAN... but receive this error when trying to connect via internet: 234 Proceed with negotiation. | 04:30 |
| Whompapotamus | ftp: SSL_connect error error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) | 04:30 |
| Whompapotamus | : Success | 04:30 |
| r3dux | Guess I'm behind the times - thanks for hitting me with the clue-stick :) | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: read up on the 'sudoers' file. and set it where the user dosent need the pass for that command. is one way | 04:30 |
| Billiard | terrorink: could put a line in the sudoers file so that command does not need a pass | 04:30 |
| terrorink | ok where is it ? | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant imagine why someone would need to 'kill X to the console' often enoggh to justify a keybinding, no password' | 04:31 |
| terrorink | directory ? | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: start with 'man sudoers' and read up on sudoers configuration. | 04:31 |
| alankila | and doesn't GDM have a console login option hidden somewhere? | 04:31 |
| iceroot | terrorink: /etc/sudoers | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | terrorink: and thers no need to msg me.. | 04:31 |
| i_is_broke | how hard is wubi to install? | 04:32 |
| r3dux | I've had to move out of X to install graphics drivers before, but by going to TTY1 (ctrl-alt-f1?), kill gdm, install driver, back to tty7, start gdm | 04:32 |
| iceroot | i_is_broke: not hard | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | alankila: i forget. :) it doable. you could make a gdm session that does 'sudo service gdm stop' :) | 04:32 |
| zetheroo | silverPan: usb-creator is the default Ubuntu utility for this ... so its not working for me | 04:32 |
| i_is_broke | im not able to partition this hard drive as my mother in law doesnt know much about computers and it would confuse her. | 04:32 |
| alankila | Dr_Willis: no, I think there is some kind of temporary console login option somewhere in the GDM menus... or there used to be. I am not inclined to look right now because I'm logged in X right now | 04:32 |
| iceroot | r3dux: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is nicer then kill gdm | 04:32 |
| mOOey | zetheroo: what build are you trying to install? | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis | i_is_broke: i would suggest trying it in virtualbox. I personally hate wubi. :) | 04:33 |
| gp__ | merry chrismas | 04:33 |
| alankila | iceroot: but no longer really recommendable -- some /etc/init.d/foo no longer do anything... you have to use the service command... | 04:33 |
| r3dux | iceroot, this is true - I might have done that, it was a while ago :) | 04:33 |

| silverPan | poi77: iceroot had the best recommendation with sshfs... i dont know how it handles disconnects... be sure to read up on this... everything else i have looked into has been third party solutions. | 04:35 |
| r3dux | Heth - that's really odd... Tried rebooting your router to make sure it's actually up, running and broadcasting - I don't see how a channel change would be responsible | 04:35 |
| gp__ | i am unable to set resolution | 04:35 |
| mOOey | gp__: in gnome? | 04:35 |
| Heth | r3dux, I had the same problem before, not seeing 11-13 wireless channels. | 04:35 |
| r3dux | Heth - I would install backports though, just incase | 04:35 |

| gp__ | it alaways says low reslotion graphic | 04:36 |

| gp__ | HELP ME PL | 04:36 |
| iceroot | poi77: on server you have to install openssh-server on client you have to install sshfs | 04:36 |
| Heth | r3dux, the fix in 9.04 was to add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/options but this file does not exist anymore | 04:36 |

| silverPan | iceroot, poi77: sounds VERY promising | 04:39 |

| iceroot | gp__: what graphic card? | 04:39 |
| r3dux | Heth - "locate modprobe.d" | 04:39 |
| gp__ | intel | 04:39 |
| PC_Nerd101 | Hi - regarding bug #156652, it says its been fixed and the patch released, but the current version of apt-cacher is still 1.6.8 instead of 1.6.9 - which is the version in which the debian bug repository states is the stable/fixed version.... does anyone know when the patch will be released? | 04:39 |
| Heth | alankila, on the original it's only "options" and it did not work | 04:40 |
| gp__ | iceroot: intel | 04:40 |
| alankila | Heth: that's how modprobe.d stuff is supposed to work, anyway... independent configuration files. | 04:40 |
| downgrade | gp__: intel 945? | 04:40 |
| alankila | Heth: I'm not sure about the suffix, but the other files in that directory all end in .conf, so I suggest yours do as well. | 04:40 |
| Heth | alankila, thanks I'll try that now :) | 04:41 |
| alankila | Heth: there is some sensitivity to the exact name because old files are left around with names like foo.conf.dpkg-old and it's undesirable that they get executed. | 04:41 |

| Heth | alankila, is there a way to make modprobe.d reload that file now? I made the .conf | 04:54 |
| Spence | r3dux, I can't figure out how to make a new partition. what i want to do, is make the partition i'm using for ubuntu smaller so i can install windows so i can dual boot.. but again, i cant figure out how to re partition everything and make my main partition smaller. | 04:55 |
| r3dux | Maybe through lsmod? | 04:55 |
| alankila | Heth: don't know, sadly. Try to rmmod the module and modprobe it in right after | 04:55 |
| alankila | might work, might not | 04:55 |

| freeksh0w86 | !ipod | 05:02 |
| r3dux | silverpan - he had the drive mounted, I told him to boot from a live CD so he can modify the partition, should be fine. | 05:02 |

| Real_Christmas | How much bandwith and powerful server do I have to use to let say for example 100, 1000 or 10 000 people shall use my servers as "proxy-servers" for watching youtube videos, chatt, visit ordinary web pages (Facebook, Flickr etc)? They will not be allowed to use BitTorrent or other P2P services? | 05:03 |
| silverPan | redux: okies! :) | 05:03 |
| mOOey | sorry - don't know mordof | 05:04 |
| mordof | mOOey: i have an x1950xtx card.. considered legacy now *sighs*.. latest catalyst support is 9.3, and they don't update for support of newer xserver updates anymore | 05:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, if you're allowing http, you can't deny p2p | 05:04 |
| r00t_ | how do i use wget to download photbucket albums? | 05:04 |
| r3dux | Real_Christmas - A lot. I used to set my website to be used as a proxy for boingboing.net (because it was blocked in many countries) - I can give you the script if you'd like | 05:04 |
| mordof | even in 9.04 i had to downgrade many packages and lock them in order to install fglrx from 9.3 | 05:04 |
| * mordof sighs. | 05:04 | |
| cwillu_at_work | unless you have a magical way of telling normal http traffic from p2p tunnelled over http | 05:04 |
| mordof | wonderful... no more 3D support for linux -.-; | 05:05 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, complain to ati to get their drivers packaged for modern x servers | 05:05 |
| krishmish | any one help me with ncsa auth | 05:05 |
| mordof | cwillu_at_work: does that have ANY hope of working? lol | 05:05 |
| alankila | mordof: "don't buy ATI" is an old saying in these parts. | 05:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, nvidia does a good job, given that they're still stuck in the proprietary mindrut | 05:06 |
| PC_Nerd101 | any information about the release o apt-cacher 1.6.9 - there is a bug fix in that version that was said to be released to ubuntu repositories - but the debian patch was 1.6.9 not 1.6.8 which is in the ubuntu repo's.... any ieas | 05:06 |
| r3dux | ATI is okay. NVidia is better for linux these days, but you can still get ATI stuff working, given time | 05:06 |
| mOOey | btw that's a great question - what IS a good vid card co. to buy for linux? | 05:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | also, you might try the open ati driver, support has been getting quite a bit better lately | 05:06 |
| alankila | I'm screwed too because I have ATI X1250 on this laptop. After a year of very poor 3d, the open-source radeonhd is better, but the screen seems to jerk downwards randomly and has always done that. | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | !hardware | 05:07 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 05:07 |
| alankila | fglrx stopped supporting my card almost instantly because the "open source driver" was free enough. Bah. | 05:07 |
| alankila | err... was good enough | 05:07 |
| mordof | alankila: i do know of a solution to get older fglrx drivers working.. but it may limit some newer apps that depend on the later xserver versions | 05:07 |
| Heth | Need help on using wireless on channel 13. SSIDs are not scanned | 05:07 |
| mordof | available to you if you don't need the newer versions and are free to downgrade | 05:07 |
| r3dux | If I was buying a new machine, I think I'd favour NVid, but not my much, only because I'm willing to put in the time to fix it up nicely, and because I mainly use a XBox 360 for gaming anyway ;) | 05:08 |
| mordof | cwillu_at_work: open driver? | 05:08 |
| Jamed | alankila: i had the same problem with my X1600, they just dropped the support :( | 05:08 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, well, the default | 05:08 |
| alankila | mordof: yes, I suppose. In practice radeonhd is good enough for me, not worth the hassle. I just live with screen jerking every now and then | 05:08 |
| Heth | alankila, sadly this module is no longer used. they use CRDA now which is not working for me for some reason | 05:08 |
| r3dux | Also, if you really wanted to game - wouldn't you just boot into windows? | 05:08 |
| alankila | Heth: ow, that complicated matters, I guess | 05:08 |
| mordof | cwillu_at_work: horrid 3D support. trying to run gnome-shell | 05:08 |
| * cwillu_at_work patiently waits for the days of proper ati-developed open drivers | 05:08 | |
| mordof | r3dux: 3D support isn't always for gaming | 05:08 |
| mOOey | I keep hearing nvidia is about .05" away from bankruptcy though | 05:08 |
| Heth | alankila, indeed. | 05:08 |
| r3dux | I've tried steam on linux via Wine, and it's been pretty nasty | 05:09 |
| mOOey | not sure I wanna take that gamble with them right now | 05:09 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, and no, I'd boot into the 1.2beta of tremulous and play that instead | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | mOOey: Nivida have the best graphics card support or so it seems. Also those bot hardware links above, might help. | 05:09 |
| r3dux | boot into tremulous? | 05:09 |
| r3dux | I really don't know what you mean, sorry! :) | 05:09 |
| mOOey | yea, thank you sebsebseb - I loaded them and am looking right now | 05:09 |
| Heth | Need help on using wireless on channel 13. SSIDs are not scanned | 05:09 |
| mordof | i just want to try out gnome-shell -.-; | 05:09 |
| mordof | stupid ati | 05:09 |
| dto | anyone get a wacom bamboo pen tablet working in Ubuntu Karmic? | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | mOOey: ok np | 05:10 |
| r00t_ | how do i use wget to download photbucket albums? | 05:12 |
| r3dux | mordof - 3D Support goes into two camps: OpenGL and Direct3D - if you need 3D in linux it has to point to OpenGL - and what other use asides from gaming did you have in mind? | 05:12 |
| mordof | r3dux: gnome-shell, compiz, etc | 05:12 |
| mordof | r3dux: like i said, there's more to better vid card support than JUST gaming | 05:12 |
| r3dux | I use compiz, not tried gnome-shell - and I wasn't saying there wasn't, mordof - I was humbly asking what you had in mind. | 05:13 |
| mordof | ah | 05:13 |
| mordof | i had heard gnome-shell was based around JS/CSS support.. and i'm decent in those areas, so it would've been cool to get a chance to make stuff for it | 05:14 |
| Heth | Need help on using wireless on channels out of 1-11 range. (non-US) can't see my SSID at home | 05:14 |
| mordof | gnome-shell is sooo slow as it is | 05:14 |
| mOOey | I'd just like to get that aero thing goin on this dell 600m laptop, but my graphics memory isn't detected so I default to the low res (which is still perfectly acceptable) | 05:15 |
| teleri | on UNR 9.10 on a Acer Aspire D250 and two-Finger scrolling does not work even when enabled | 05:15 |
| sebsebseb | mOOey: Aero thing???? Merry Christmas by the way, if you celebrate. | 05:15 |
| mOOey | thanks seb...yea, you know, the 3-d look (I used aero tongue-in-cheek) - I meant it would be nice to have that capability (which I'd play with for 10 mins and turn off cause it'd eat resources) | 05:16 |
| krishmish | any one help me with ncsa auth | 05:16 |
| mOOey | merry christmas to you too! (and everybody!) | 05:17 |
| soreau | r3dux: I would recommend investing in one of the newer ATI graphics cards. Both drivers for it work well enough for most all linux needs and the open driver is improving by leaps and bounds with the new driver structure that is being written thanks to AMD opening up ATI hardware specs | 05:17 |
| alankila | soreau: I think I read that as "it currently sucks" | 05:17 |
| opticon | for ubuntu what can i use to control video card fan speed | 05:17 |
| opticon | ccc doesnt work | 05:17 |
| sebsebseb | mOOey: Not everyone that comes here celebrates. When I think of Aero I think of Windows. | 05:17 |
| mOOey | that was what I meant too seb hehe | 05:18 |
| soreau | alankila: You can read it however you want. The fact is it already works well and only will get better in the future | 05:18 |
| alankila | always the same mantra about "stuff is improving a lot in every new version". And then, I'd like to add, it gets worse as key pieces get rewritten from scratch and clock goes back a few years and then we're back on the improvement game. | 05:18 |
| mOOey | you know, all the shadowey edges and the zooming windows, etc | 05:18 |
| sebsebseb | mOOey: oh | 05:18 |
| mOOey | it's frustrating sometimes alankila | 05:19 |
| mOOey | I understand exactly what you mean | 05:19 |
| Heth | alankila, is there a way I can see a log from modprobe on parsing that line? | 05:19 |
| * alankila thinks KDE 4 is one of the best examples about what I'm talking about. Nice desktop, and then push the reset button and start over and spend a few years getting most of what used to work working again... | 05:19 | |
| alankila | Heth: you perhaps need a crash course on modutils | 05:19 |
| === nathan is now known as nathan__ | ||
| alankila | Heth: the options line is useless if there is no module to use the option you painstakingly set up | 05:19 |
| nathan__ | is it possible to run a script just before network manager takes down a device? | 05:20 |
| Real_Christmas | r3dux: Well, I'm planning to start a company. I have an idea, bur right now I just want to check if it's possible or not. Therefore I ask. | 05:20 |
| Heth | alankila, I'm still not sure about if it exists or not, that's why i need to see the logs since there should be noted | 05:20 |
| alankila | Heth: well, try dmesg, maybe it has a clue. Try to lsmod, grep for the module name. | 05:20 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Hm, I have to stop "my" users from using programs like DC++, Deluge etc. I cannot afford being responsible for illegal file sharing. Why isn't it possible to stop BitTorrent traffic or DC++ traffic? | 05:21 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, I'd consider speaking to a lawyer | 05:22 |
| Jeruvy | Real_Christmas: why not consider content filtering at the DNS? | 05:22 |
| mOOey | Real_Christmas: it is possible - libraries and schools do it all the time, BUT - the savvy user can usually figure out a way to bypass those censoring tools | 05:22 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, in principle, unless you're whitelisting sites instead of blacklisting then, and you only whitelist sites that have no holes (intentional or otherwise), you can't prevent it | 05:22 |
| cwillu_at_work | mOOey, always, not usually | 05:23 |
| mOOey | heh - ok, always ;-) | 05:23 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Actually, I plan to only allow a few sites, like whitelisting 100 most popular web sites, NOT TPB. :) | 05:24 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, tpb is _not_ your problem | 05:24 |
| Jamed | Real_Christmas: you could use a proxy that stops every traffic but http, pop3, imap and/or smtp, depending on what is needed to stop bittorrent | 05:24 |
| * cwillu_at_work grimaces | 05:24 | |
| KB1JWQ | Real_Christmas: What kind of environment is this? Office, school, etc? | 05:24 |
| opticon | sounds like application layered firewall would do it | 05:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | every protocol in the world has a 'tunnel over http' mode for precisely the reason that everyone thinks its "just webpages" | 05:25 |
| Ozzah | Hi, I have a HDD (/dev/sda) with a bad sector on it, and my RAID card isn't picking it up. I want to do a full wipe of the entire drive, mbr, partition tables, everything. How do I do this in Ubuntu? Thanks :) | 05:25 |
| Real_Christmas | cwillu_at_work: Why, they need to get the torrent to start using BitTorrent to begin with. | 05:25 |
| alankila | and logically, we should make a torrent client that is actually just a webpage | 05:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, your understanding of the issues involved is weak :p | 05:25 |
| opticon | indeed | 05:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | I talked a friend of mine through getting onto facebook from a fricking prison complex | 05:26 |
| Guest53746 | hey all | 05:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | (she's an employee, and the administration "locks" such things down) | 05:26 |
| mOOey | trivial | 05:27 |
| * alankila has considered writing a javascript decoder for some video format... h.264 could be great to have, but no idea how hard the decoder is, and whether having a javascript file on server counts as distributing a decoder. | 05:27 | |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, consider that even dns requests can be used to tunnel information | 05:27 |
| Real_Christmas | Jamed: I want to allow common Internet use like chat, flash-movie watching, common web sites, mail, but not file sharing becuase it will be to much traffic I think and also it may be illegal. | 05:27 |
| mordof | Real_Christmas: good luck | 05:27 |
| mOOey | movie watching isn't bandwidth intensive then? | 05:27 |
| mOOey | heh | 05:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, mail, flash movies, web sites, they can (and often do) also allow illegal transfers | 05:28 |
| Jeruvy | Real_Christmas: use gufw to filter all the ports except what you explicitly allow then. Done. | 05:28 |
| shubbar | how can i use command line to batch process files in an input-file output-file? | 05:28 |
| r3dux | Hahaha - sorry, a javascript h.264 encoder? It could be done, but it would be dreadful, and you would need a book the size of War and Peace to understand the protocol. h.264 encoding is not trivial. | 05:28 |
| mordof | Jeruvy: won't solve it entirely | 05:28 |
| nathan__ | anyone know if it's possible for network manager to call a script before it takes down a device? I want it to umount some nfs shares before it takes down the interface. | 05:28 |
| alankila | r3dux: it'sa crazy idea, but I occasionally get them | 05:28 |
| Billiard | shubbar: what exactly do you want to do? | 05:28 |
| Jeruvy | mordof: Possibly yes, but what alternative is there? | 05:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, you're set in your ways, so nothing I can say will convince you otherwise | 05:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | Real_Christmas, but consider, two hours ago you didn't know how to secure a machine for ssh access | 05:29 |
| r3dux | alankila, if you ever go for it, I'll help. You buy the book, tho :) | 05:29 |
| Real_Christmas | KB1JWQ: Well, I will try to let ordinary people pay for the service. It's a way to block bad internet use by passing their traffic through my servers. | 05:29 |
| alankila | r3dux: I'm kind of hoping there would exist some C library that does it, and a line-by-line conversion of that would do the trick. | 05:29 |
| r3dux | Wouldn't that be delightful? :) | 05:30 |
| Ozzah | Hi, I have a HDD (/dev/sda) with a bad sector on it, and my RAID card isn't picking it up. I want to do a full wipe of the entire drive, mbr, partition tables, everything. How do I do this in Ubuntu? Thanks :) | 05:30 |
| mordof | Real_Christmas: put a disclaimer on your usage and make them sign a waiver saying you're not responsible for the content viewed/downloaded | 05:30 |
| KB1JWQ | Real_Christmas: You're a service provider?! | 05:30 |
| shubbar | Billiard, i am using mencoder to conver an mkv file to avi. i want to modify the command to convert all the mkv file in a directory | 05:30 |
| mordof | Real_Christmas: or rather, that they're responsible | 05:30 |
| Pelo | Ozzah, start gparted and make a new partition table | 05:30 |
| Jamed | Real_Christmas: you should take a look at squid, it can stop traffic of certain protocols. i am unaware about the specifics though | 05:31 |
| Guest53746 | if it helps among other things Vuze can play mkv's along with vlc i think | 05:31 |
| Real_Christmas | KB1JWQ: No, not a service provider, but I'm planning to be like a filtering ISP, using proxy servers to filter their traffic from unwanted material. | 05:31 |
| shubbar | Billiard, wildcards work with input, but i don't know what to use for output | 05:31 |
| alankila | r3dux: my sole motivation here is that there was a lot of whining about what should be part of HTML5, so it's logical that you just write javascript decoders and forget about what is inside the browser and what not. Given how fast javascript is these days, you could probably decode some of the codecs already. | 05:31 |
| r3dux | Speaking of Squid, Ubuntu 9.10 runs it automatically by default. WHY? I don't need a proxy server by default, who does? | 05:31 |
| r3dux | Stopped that happening. | 05:32 |
| Ozzah | Pelo: That will put a partition table on the drive - how can I wipe the whole drive so that it's blank afterwards, i.e. no partition table, no MBR | 05:32 |
| Billiard | shubbar: something like 'for each vid in *.mkv; do mencoder "$vid" options "$vid.avi"; done' | 05:32 |
| Guest53746 | @Ozzah use gparted it will do that | 05:32 |
| Billiard | shubbar: sorry no each | 05:32 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, squid isn't installed by default | 05:32 |
| Pelo | Real_Christmas, you might want to look into a ubuntu derivative that used to be called ubuntu christian edition, I think they changed the name however, it was loaded with everyting you can think of in terms of parental control over internet stuff and such, you would probably find something in there that would allow you to restrict access the way you want | 05:33 |
| Guest53746 | @Ozzah Pm me i can tell you, here is busy with net stuff atm | 05:33 |
| mordof | alankila: true. though that depends on how you write them. there are a lot of optimized methods that get changed over to faster code backend with js. | 05:33 |
| Real_Christmas | I know I have too little knowledge of this today, but it's just a plan. I am not going to start this tomorrow. I have to learn a lot more but it's interesting having an idea. | 05:33 |
| nathan__ | You can also use find with -exec to execute commands based on file names that find finds. | 05:33 |
| Pelo | Ozzah, putting a new partition table on the drive will , to all intents and purposes, whipe your hdd clean | 05:33 |
| shubbar | Billiard, vid here is a dummy argument ? | 05:33 |
| r3dux | Billiard, I did some shell coding that does interesting stuff here: http://r3dux.org/?p=439 | 05:33 |
| r3dux | cwillu - well I didn't install it, and it was running... | 05:33 |
| mOOey | Ozzah: a big magnet | 05:34 |
| camelopard_s6 | Hey folks. I am seeking info on enabling Shift Ctrl Backspace in Ubuntu 9.04. Could anyone help? I am trying to install Ion. | 05:34 |
| Billiard | shubbar: what do you mean dummy argument? | 05:34 |
| mOOey | Pelo: not true | 05:34 |
| r3dux | camel : sudo apt-get install dontzap | 05:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, dontzap depends on squid | 05:35 |
| r3dux | ? | 05:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | oops, wrong zap | 05:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | was just browsing the list of dependencies and saw a zap at the same time you said that :p | 05:35 |
| KB1JWQ | !zap | 05:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | that said, there's nothing that would cause it to get pulled in that I can see, it's probably a dependency of something you installed | 05:36 |
| mOOey | Ozzah: go get this | 05:36 |
| Real_Christmas | Backtrack may be nice to control traffic instead of Ubuntu Christian Edition? | 05:36 |
| mOOey | Ozzah: http://www.dban.org/ | 05:36 |
| mordof | karmic notification bubble.. it's y offset is like 150xp from the top, anyone know how to reposition it to where it should be - at the top right of the screen? | 05:36 |
| shubbar | Billiard, i mean it will be replaced with the name of the file in each run | 05:36 |
| camelopard_s6 | r3dux thanks, reading re: that. | 05:36 |
| r3dux | cwillu_at_work, that's pretty odd - but perfectly plausible. I really, REALLY didn't install it, but had to disable it. | 05:36 |
| jtaji | !dontzap | camelopard_s6 | 05:36 |
| ubottu | camelopard_s6: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 05:36 |
| mOOey | backtrack requires you have a working knowledge of the apps they provide for you in their distro | 05:36 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, apt-get remove squid, it'll tell you what depended on it | 05:36 |
| camelopard_s6 | :) | 05:37 |
| r3dux | Surly it'll also remove it | 05:37 |
| sin | :) | 05:37 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, but suffice to say I have a dozen machines in front of me running karmic, that don't have squid installed :p | 05:37 |
| shubbar | Billiard, i will try this on a different command, since mencoder takes a long time in each run | 05:37 |
| pepperjack | is there a way to mark a internet radio stream as a 'favorite' or something in rythmbox? | 05:37 |
| Billiard | shubbar: yes | 05:37 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, only if you hit yes :p | 05:37 |
| r3dux | haha | 05:37 |
| Billiard | shubbar: replace mencoder with echo | 05:37 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, zope? | 05:37 |
| mordof | r3dux: just installed 9.10, squid is not installed | 05:37 |
| camelopard_s6 | Christian Edition should include the /cross script which does echo cross | 05:37 |

| mOOey | ohboy ;-) | 05:38 |
| mordof | no idea, lol | 05:38 |
| r3dux | lol | 05:38 |
| * Guest1287 . | 05:38 | |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, you seem to want to be in a state of amazement, because you can find out how it got installed quite easily ;p | 05:38 |
| Jamed | camelopard_s6: that sounds like a very useful feature :D | 05:38 |
| mordof | grrr | 05:38 |
| camelopard_s6 | Maybe with some ANSI and chrome | 05:38 |
| mordof | my notification bubble is starting to annoy me | 05:38 |
| r3dux | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 05:39 |
| r3dux | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 05:39 |
| r3dux | I'll find and kill it later. | 05:39 |
| mordof | cwillu_at_work: :o how? | 05:39 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, it's where its supposed to be; critical messages go in that reserved spot, so that messages don't have to be juggled around while being displayed, while also preventing them from getting crowded out by more important messages | 05:39 |
| camelopard_s6 | Jamed, my Ubuntu is already Christian, with a help of some water | 05:39 |
| r3dux | I just think it's amusing I ended up with squid installed when I didn't ask for it at any point ever. | 05:39 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, that said, it might get fixed at some point :p | 05:39 |
| mordof | cwillu_at_work: so i can't ever have regular notifications at the top of my screen anymore? it worked fine in 9.04... | 05:40 |
| mordof | i upgraded, and now it's permanently offset down ... in the way.. *cries* | 05:40 |
| Ozzah | Ok I found the answer. All I needed to type was: sudo wipe /dev/sda | 05:40 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, get over yourself. You also never asked to have libgtk2.0-0 to be installed, and yet there it is, installed! :p | 05:40 |
| cwillu_at_work | mordof, file a bug | 05:40 |
| mOOey | Ozzah: how thoroughly does that partition need to be cleaned? | 05:40 |
| om26er | mordof, you can use default gnome notifications by removing notify-osd | 05:40 |
| teleri | errrrrrragg | 05:41 |
| teleri | oops, sorry | 05:41 |
| r3dux | cwillu - okay, but surely libgtk is to do with windows, while squid is a http proxy server. | 05:41 |
| mordof | i think it already is using default gnome notifications | 05:41 |
| cwillu_at_work | r3dux, and you installed something that felt it needed a proxy server. There is no mystery here :p | 05:41 |
| mordof | they don't look anything like the fancy transparent screenshots i've seen of notify-osd, lol | 05:41 |
| Ozzah | mOOey: it doesn't need to be secure - I just want the drive in a "factory state" so that my dumbass RAID card will think it's empty | 05:42 |
| r3dux | lol - okay, okay! I installed something that felt it needed a proxy server! | 05:42 |
| mOOey | ah k | 05:42 |
| om26er | mordof, for that desktop effects need to be started | 05:42 |
| mordof | ah | 05:42 |
| Ozzah | mOOey: otherwise it thinks it doesn't have enough space to rebuild the array | 05:42 |
| shubbar | Billiard, it just gives me ">" and i press ctrl-c to exit | 05:42 |
| mOOey | understood - I thought you needed a secure wipe | 05:42 |
| r3dux | cwillu, say "What" again. I dare you. I double-dare you. | 05:42 |

| grkblood13 | whats a good prog to convert mkv to dvd | 05:46 |
| Roasted | hey guys - I have a disk that dual boots XP and Kubuntu, and I fired up my Ubuntu LiveCD to use GParted because I want to maximize my XP partition to use up the remaining 75gb unallocated space at the end of the disk. But I CANNOT get GParted to play nice. Is there anything special I should know when maximizing HDD space? | 05:46 |
| shubbar | Billiard, the "$name" has the name and extension | 05:47 |
| lightsped | hello everyone. got a total newb question. What do I need to do to play a DVD? | 05:47 |

| Pelo | cwillu_at_work, I figured out why I had no sound , because I 'M an idiot, I was suppose to adduser to audio, not to sound | 05:47 |

| Programmador | dvd im sure is in there | 05:47 |

| osast | Roasted, where is the windows partition on the disk? | 05:49 |
| Roasted | osast - at the front. | 05:49 |
| Programmador | @Menza that works too | 05:49 |
| Roasted | osast - 60gb NTFS, 1gb SWAP, 15gb EXT4 Kubuntu. Then I have 75gb unallocated. I want to combine the existing 60gb NTFS with the 75gb unallocated, pushing swap/ext4 back. | 05:50 |

| jtaji | nithin: why not use a vnc viewer that's already in Ubuntu's repositories, in fact you should already have Apps > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer installed by default | 05:54 |
| osast | Roasted, well, not doable if you're using simple partitions, if you're using some kind of windows LVM then it might be | 05:54 |
| pepperjack | nithin: you could add the lib or cheat and use a symlink to a more current one (not that i recommend that) but i normally just use tightvnc | 05:54 |
| jtaji | nithin: yeah another good option is xtightvncviewer | 05:55 |
| Roasted | osast - no kidding? Wow. I could have sworn I did it before... | 05:55 |
| nithin | jtaji: i have to connect my pc tru my droid phone, i ned realvnc or tightvnc servers listening... tightvnc, after installation show the same runtime error | 05:55 |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: I don't know if GParted can allocate NTFS safely without facing problematic issues. Anyway, GParted is a bit tricky or silly, depends on how you see it. To move stuffs around, you work by dragging arrows (stretch or slim). | 05:56 |
| nithin | pepperjack: i have to connect my pc tru my droid phone, i ned realvnc or tightvnc servers listening... tightvnc, after installation show the same runtime error | 05:56 |
| jtaji | nithin: ah you need a server... I'd probably try to figure out the error with tightvnc server | 05:56 |
| dto | has anyone here had success with Wacom Bamboo tablets on Ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| osast | Roasted, you could move all the partitions around, but that's scary | 05:57 |
| nithin | jtaji: tightvnc is in repo | 05:57 |
| jtaji | nithin: it is | 05:57 |
| Roasted | osast - I could also use clonezilla to back up each partition individually, format the drive, and push each partition and resize it accordingly back to the disk one at a time. | 05:57 |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: Best to keep the "queue" list low. People often make few adjustments before the final decisions, and as a result of this, it'll take time... to move around, then repeatedly move around more. | 05:57 |
| nithin | jtaji: could u reproduce the issue there? | 05:58 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - time doesnt matter. I know... KNOW... I did this with vista before using a linux live CD. I remember it taking forever to do as well. | 05:58 |
| Roasted | Just a bummer :( | 05:58 |
| jtaji | nithin: I'm not really set up for that right now, sorry | 05:59 |
| nithin | jtaji: oops! anyways thanks | 05:59 |
| nithin | hello can anybody help me with missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 problem | 05:59 |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: I use 20GB HDD. No need to worry about stuffs. Got other HDD for important/personal stuffs. Seems to do me well. | 05:59 |
| nithin | nithin | 06:00 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - its not my computer though. You see, I built 2 rigs for my brothers for christmas. They use XP Pro. I decided to dual boot their systems with kubuntu as well so they had linux there to play with if they wanted. | 06:00 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - the thing is, one hdd is bad, so I had to use a spare... so Im using a 160gb drive for 1, and an 80gb drive for another. I figured i could just clonezilla the 80gb drive to the new replacement 160 when it comes in, but its proving to be impossible. | 06:01 |
| phearret | for the missing lib issue ... did you try running the apt-get from shell ? | 06:01 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - I know my bros will use XP Pro prodominantly, so I wanted their N TFS partition to be as big as possible. Besides, Linux can read/write NTFS so it worked out if they want to use their NTFS partition for music, pictures, etc. | 06:01 |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: Have you see !backup yet? | 06:01 |

| * om26er thinks its silent out here | 06:03 | |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: Nothing. Just that you make a backup fast. If the bad HDD is still connected and is powered on, you're killing it slowly. | 06:03 |

| ubottu | Lul: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:04 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - the hard drive already died. Its not in use. Thats why Im using an 80gb drive (spare from my shelf) till the RMA comes in for the problematic 160. | 06:04 |
| Lul | :x | 06:04 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - but like I siad, I wanted to take the 80gb contents, clone it to the 160, and dump it on that drive accordingly. But its useless to do that with 75gb unallocated..... | 06:04 |
| om26er | Lul: linux wifi drivers never wanted a video accelerator for me | 06:05 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - I guess Ill have to back up each partition individually, then drop the NTFS on the drive, expand it (leaving 16gb unallocated) and then dump the 1gb swap partition and 15gb EXT4 partition back individually. | 06:05 |
| Lul | What's linux? | 06:05 |
| om26er | Lul: well well | 06:05 |
| om26er | !linux | Lul | 06:05 |
| ubottu | Lul: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 06:05 |
| programmulka | GNU'em all | 06:05 |
| mobi-sheep | Roasted: I never really had to do backups, but if mOOey know what to do, then take his advice. I like dd or ddrescue. (I never experiment with clonezilla). It copy bytes for bytes. I'm sure you can Gparted it after you copied it. | 06:06 |
| Roasted | mobi-sheep - clonezilla uses dd as well, it just gives me the option to back up the entire disc, or back up individual partitions | 06:07 |
| taygalove | !lynx | taygalove | 06:07 |

| r3dux | It's also great for windows systems which lack codecs, because it can decode stacks of things without codecs installed. | 07:24 |

| om26er | M1TE5H: when pasted in /var/cache/apt/archive it does look there | 07:24 |

| mobi-sheep | AussieGuy: "use vim, cuts down on coding errors & frustration by 90%" How so? | 07:34 |
| AussieGuy | well, what ive found is that it gives alot more control | 07:34 |
| r3dux | The EDITOR had NOTHING to do with the code. | 07:34 |
| r3dux | It can't cut down on coding errors. | 07:34 |
| AussieGuy | even copy and paste is more controlled, using a far more accurate keyboard based version | 07:35 |

| fridim__ | Hi. I would like to automatically backup a folder (let's say /home) on an usb disk when I plug that disk. It seems that now in ubuntu, the FS is mounted in /media/UUID-of-the-partition. So how can I launch a small script (containing rsync command lines) every time the disk is plugged in? | 07:36 |
| taygalove | jstar and joe | 07:36 |
| Athar | You can do that in any editor... end, shift+home, backspace | 07:36 |
| taygalove | Athar Ctrl Y is simpler | 07:36 |
| Athar | I guess | 07:37 |
| mobi-sheep | fridim__: Plug in. Run the command. | 07:37 |
| fridim__ | mobi-sheep, I'm lazy, I don't want to run the command :) | 07:38 |
| r3dux | fridim__, I'm lazy, I'm not going to look it up for you | 07:39 |
| AussieGuy | Ather: that deletes the content of the line not the line itself, still an extra keypress to finish it off, the less keypresses the less chance of a typo | 07:39 |

| DexterLB | sometimes grub2 doesn't want to automatically start the kernel after an s2disk, power failiure, and sometimes with no apparent reason. Can it be configured to always boot the first kernel without displaying the menu, or at least to have a timeout? | 07:43 |
| mobi-sheep | fridim__: I know when you start plugging silly things in, you get that GNOME "You plugged in something, what default action should we take?" thing. You could set it to Other --> And point it to your script. | 07:43 |
| fridim__ | mobi-sheep, never seen such a dialog box. It's simply automounted. | 07:44 |
| fridim__ | lazyPower, the only thing I see in your link is : On recent Linux, you can have a script run when the device is detected. (not when it mounts, but when it is detected) by crafting a udev rule for that device. | 07:45 |

| taygalove | grep -i VGA ? | 08:18 |
| raj | soreau i am having 800 x600 and 640 x 480 i want 1024 x 768 | 08:18 |
| r3dux | lspci | grep VGA -- it IS rocket science. | 08:19 |
| raj | r3dux u r command is not working | 08:19 |
| taygalove | raj : that's SVGA, man | 08:19 |
| zetheroo | so any ideas? | 08:19 |
| raj | taygalove what does it mean | 08:19 |
| r3dux | raj - it works fine for me - how on earth do you not have lspci in your path? | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | why are my partitions being mounted in root? | 08:20 |
| taygalove | raj: lspci | less | 08:20 |
| soreau | raj: Can you pastebin your X log? An easy way to do this is by running the following in your terminal: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 08:20 |
| raj | taygalove VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 08:20 |
| soreau | raj: That should install curl then print a url containing your X log which you can paste back here for us to see | 08:20 |
| raj | soreau how can i paste | 08:22 |
| soreau | raj: Just run this command in your terminal: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 08:22 |
| zvacet | raj :http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | 08:22 |

| Leoneof` | hi, why Ubuntu versions not included pppoe GUI to connect networks? they have only pppoeconf for Terminal | 08:24 |
| raj | soreau how to copy and paste in terminal | 08:24 |
| zl3cat | !info pastebinit | soreau | 08:25 |
| ubottu | soreau: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-1 (karmic), package size 22 kB, installed size 344 kB | 08:25 |
| soreau | raj: Copy from terminal, highlight. Then to paste somewhere else (like here) use middle click of your mouse to paste what you just highlighted | 08:25 |
| zl3cat | seems easier than curl... | 08:25 |
| soreau | zl3cat: I will not advocate that | 08:26 |
| zl3cat | how come? | 08:26 |
| soreau | r3dux: You got me all wrong. I don't know what you're talking about | 08:26 |
| soreau | zl3cat: Because I do not use it, thus I cannot elaborate | 08:26 |

| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 08:29 |

| BluShift | Random PCIe question for you guys: What does it mean when a motherboard has 2 PCIe slots, (both are x16 size) but one runs at x16 and the other runs are x4? Is that normal? Does that mean two x16 video cards can be used in SLI/Crossfire, or no? | 08:33 |
| raj | soreau so tell me which command shall type | 08:33 |
| zl3cat | raj: http://sprunge.us/aEAN is the bit we wanted, but that's cool | 08:33 |
| soreau | raj: just wait a sec so I can review your X log | 08:33 |
| raj | soreau ok | 08:34 |
| raj | soreau u tell me a command so i can send you a log | 08:34 |
| soreau | raj: Things look good there.. now can you pastebin the output of 'xrandr'? | 08:34 |
| Devrethman | BluShift: It's not normal if your motherboard specifcally says it should be able to run both at 16. | 08:35 |
| zl3cat | raj: type " xrandr | pastebinit " (without the quotes) then give us the one line it gives you.. | 08:35 |
| raj | soreau http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m68263316 | 08:35 |
| BluShift | Devrethman: No, i'm reading specs for a new motherboard and I saw that -- I thought dual x16 PCIe slots == SLI/Crossfire ready. Am I wrong? | 08:36 |
| DexterLB | so, anyone to answer my grub question? | 08:36 |
| fahadsadah | DexterLB: Please could you repeat it? | 08:36 |
| DexterLB | sometimes grub2 doesn't want to automatically start the kernel after an s2disk, power failiure, and sometimes with no apparent reason. Can it be configured to always boot the first kernel without displaying the menu, or at least to have a timeout? | 08:36 |
| raj | soreau are you getting my log | 08:37 |
| zl3cat | raj: yeah, he'll be looking it it now. | 08:37 |
| raj | zl3cat ok | 08:37 |
| fahadsadah | DexterLB: Yes, you can. | 08:37 |
| fahadsadah | Just a second, please? | 08:37 |
| soreau | raj: Ok, you say you want 1024x768? | 08:38 |
| raj | soreau ya | 08:38 |
| DexterLB | fahadsadah: how? | 08:38 |

| m55 | how do i put the netbook remix on a usb stick from osx? I can only find .iso files, no .img files | 08:39 |
| BlouBlou | m55: Copy *.iso to usb, only that | 08:40 |

| raj | soreau : u there | 08:40 |
| soreau | raj: Yes | 08:40 |
| BlouBlou | m55: That's the same, if you install ubuntu it will create ext4 automatically | 08:40 |
| raj | soreau : what is the next step i shall do | 08:41 |
| soreau | raj: Pastebin the output of this: cvt 1024 768 | 08:41 |
| fahadsadah | DexterLB: That's it? | 08:41 |
| DexterLB | fahadsadah: that's the entire contents of /etc/default/grub | 08:42 |
| fahadsadah | Sorry. | 08:42 |
| fahadsadah | I wanted /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 08:42 |

| dnivra | raj: you were supposed to pastebin it not paste it:). | 08:43 |

| soreau | raj: Ok, standby | 08:43 |
| raj | ok | 08:43 |
| fahadsadah | DexterLB: I need /boot/grub/grub.cfg because it contains details of your hard drives. | 08:43 |
| fahadsadah | With that, I can write you a new grub.cfg that has no menu | 08:44 |
| jozefk | every time I start Terminal the windows size is like 1/4 of the screen. where is the config file for gnome-terminal? or is there some other way for fixing this? | 08:44 |

| nellmathew | hey guys, i want to set up a ssh server on my computer, but have support/client pcs connect to me, so i can provide remote support (they are behind routers and i can't configure), what should i be looking for? | 08:47 |
| vanyok | Merry Christmas! :) | 08:47 |
| fahadsadah | DexterLB: Sorry, no, I don't know. | 08:47 |
| raj | merry chritmas to all guys | 08:47 |
| fahadsadah | I thought grub2 would be like grub. | 08:47 |
| m55 | BlouBlou: I tried copying the contents of the netbook remix iso to a fat32 usb stick, and tried booting it up, but it doesn't boot | 08:47 |
| DexterLB | fahadsadah: it's totally different :( | 08:47 |
| soreau | raj: Run this all as one command: xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync && sleep 1 && xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1024x768_60.00" && sleep 1 && xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768_60.00 | 08:48 |
| dnivra | fahadsadah: what is DexterLB trying to do; just wanna know:). | 08:48 |
| fahadsadah | m55: In a terminal (on Mac or Ubuntu, doesn't matter), type: dd if=unr.iso of=/path/to/your/usb/stick/block/device | 08:48 |
| fahadsadah | dnivra: Remove the menu, and make it go straight to first kernel | 08:48 |
| BlouBlou | m55: Wich operative system have you got installed? because you can install ubuntu with wubi if you are using windows | 08:49 |
| raj | soreau : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a67d4b6 | 08:49 |
| vaporub | nellmathew: they cannot provide vpn access for you to access their networks? | 08:49 |
| dnivra | fahadsadah: isn't it enough if he just hid the menu and set timeout to 1 or something? | 08:49 |
| taygalove | jozefk Ctrl Alt F7 ... Ctrl Alt F1 | 08:49 |
| taygalove | jozefk full screen ttys | 08:49 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: i want to make grub2 act as grub (e.g. always DO boot the first kernel, may show a menu for a second but I don't want it to wait for my choice. Now it usually boots automatically but sometimes pauses and waits for me to press enter) | 08:50 |
| jozefk | i tried to right click on the icon from panel and changed the command from gnome-terminal to gnome-terminal --maximize | 08:50 |
| jozefk | i need to close it now and try | 08:50 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: I have set the timeout to 1 | 08:50 |
| soreau | raj: Bah. That was not supposed to happen. Sorry, maybe you can ask in #intel-gfx | 08:50 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: it doesn't work | 08:50 |
| taygalove | jozefk use kill from tty | 08:50 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: well in most cases it works but sometimes it doesn't | 08:50 |
| nellmathew | vaporub, no - this isn't really a professional thing, just tryna help a few friends out.. was just curious, because i set up ssh on both machines.. did -R on my machine, and the same on theirs (after forwarding ports on my router, ect..) but their computer says cannot connect to my no-ip.. | 08:50 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: and I want it to be certain that it boots | 08:50 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: i think you just need to set the timeout to some small value. that should be enough I guess. | 08:51 |
| * taygalove away helping mother. | 08:51 | |
| raj | soreau : what is the problem | 08:51 |
| BlouBlou | !away > taygalove | 08:51 |
| ubottu | taygalove, please see my private message | 08:51 |
| soreau | raj: Intel sucks :P | 08:51 |
| raj | soreau : i cant get the resolution what i want | 08:51 |
| raj | soreau : who can help me | 08:52 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: it's set to 1 | 08:52 |
| BlouBlou | raj: Just ask question :) | 08:52 |
| zl3cat | soreau: funny, my experience with intel stuff is usually great.. only video that has 3d out of the box. | 08:52 |
| soreau | raj: Maybe you can ask in #intel-gfx about your problem.. on radeon/ati that would have worked | 08:52 |
| DexterLB | dnivra in most cases it waits 1 second and boots as intended | 08:52 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: the timeout is 1 and yet the boot doesn't happen sometimes? | 08:52 |
| soreau | raj: I mean intel sucks for gpu's, not spu's | 08:52 |
| jozefk | it's working now but only if I click on the icon in the panel | 08:52 |
| jozefk | :P | 08:52 |
| soreau | raj: cpu's* | 08:52 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: yes | 08:53 |
| jozefk | if I do Ctrl+Shift+N the new windows is still 1/4 of the screen | 08:53 |
| soreau | raj: Radeon/ATI was 3D OOTB too | 08:53 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: sometimes after a power failiure, hibernation or without any obvious reason | 08:53 |
| soreau | raj: s/was/has | 08:53 |
| jozefk | so that means there is a config file where I could fix this. I guess. | 08:53 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: this is baffling I must say. | 08:53 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: do you have other operating systems; perhaps you could disable them if you don't use them. | 08:53 |
| zetheroo | anyone here know a good deal about fstab? | 08:54 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: no, only karmic | 08:54 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: only karmic? then it's not supposed to show the menu at all! | 08:54 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: a regular kernel and a recovery mode kernel and a memtest | 08:54 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: id doesn't show the menu | 08:54 |
| zl3cat | soreau: ahh, most of my machines are nvidia (which needs drivers..) | 08:54 |
| DexterLB | dnivra: but sometimes it shows it and doesn't boot until I press enter | 08:54 |

| ManDay | What package contains LaTeX documentation (for Texlive)? | 08:55 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: i see; well I'm not sure how to help you out. But I know an excellent GRUB2 documentation that can help you out hopefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:55 |
| ManDay | not TexLive specific docs but LaTeX in general | 08:55 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: I think if you set a hidden timeout; it might help. | 08:55 |
| raj | bloublou: i am getting only two resolutions right now | 08:55 |
| raj | soreau: so there is no way u can help me out | 08:55 |
| BlouBlou | raj: Did you install graphic drivers? | 08:56 |
| soreau | raj: Basically you need to add a 1024x768 mode through xrandr or xorg.conf so you will have that mode available. If your monitor is not capable of this, it likely will not work | 08:56 |
| dnivra | DexterLB: check the documentation - they've explained well how to set those basic things like a hidden timeout and stuff. it's pretty good for most cases I think. hope that helps. | 08:56 |

| raj | i am having screen resolution problem | 09:05 |
| raj | and none is helping me | 09:05 |
| iKernel | raj can you be more specific? | 09:05 |
| raj | ubuntu | 09:05 |
| iKernel | a little more specific | 09:05 |
| raj | iam not getting 1024x768 resolution | 09:06 |
| iKernel | raj no one can help you if you don't tell us exactly what the problem is | 09:06 |
| iKernel | raj maybe your graphics card doesn't support it | 09:06 |
| raj | ikernel: it came in live cd | 09:06 |
| zl3cat | iKernel: intel chipset, works at 1024x768 on the live cd but it seems he's stuck in 800x600 after installing | 09:06 |
| raj | ya exactly | 09:06 |
| iKernel | have you tried removing all modes about from 1024x768 from xorg.conf? if you do that then it'll be forced to use that resolution | 09:07 |
| iKernel | s/about/apart | 09:07 |
| raj | ikernel: mine is 17 inch monitor how can i use this 800x600 resolution | 09:07 |
| zl3cat | raj: my suggestion would be "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.busted" and then reboot. | 09:07 |
| raj | ikernel: my eyes r paining | 09:07 |
| zl3cat | I don't think it could make anything worse ;) | 09:07 |
| raj | ok guys ubuntu is not working fine | 09:08 |
| zl3cat | basically that'd leave X running with no xorg.conf just like it does on the live CD. | 09:08 |
| iKernel | works great for me | 09:08 |
| raj | i think this a flop version | 09:08 |
| iKernel | fresh xubuntu installation straight off the latest (stable) amd64 iso | 09:08 |
| iKernel | and everything works straight off the bat | 09:09 |

| soreau | raj: I am not sure why it would work on a live cd but not after you install it | 09:10 |
| soreau | raj: It should work | 09:10 |
| raj | soreau : i think its a defect in ubuntu | 09:10 |
| zl3cat | soreau: 'cos the installer is trying to be smart and making an xorg.conf which is less optimal than none at all... ;) | 09:10 |
| raj | soreau : so there is no way to fix this? | 09:11 |

| voltron | hello, i have a simple question : in order to have touchscreen functionalities, do I have to buy a touchscreen monitor (i mean hardware enabled touchscreen) or can i add some packages to my old regular monitor and then it becomes a touchscreen ? | 09:11 |
| zl3cat | raj: which version ubuntu btw? 9.10 or something earlier? | 09:11 |
| raj | soreau : say perfectly so that i can go back to windows | 09:11 |
| raj | 9.10 | 09:11 |
| soreau | If it does do that, this is a ubuntu bug | 09:11 |
| tolpico | ok the emerald themes are being installed correctly in ~/.emerald/themes/ but when i click the theme in emerald manager it does'nt apply. Whats wrong? | 09:12 |

| zl3cat | digitalchemist: well if you just mount it from 'places' ubuntu takes care of that, if you want to add it to /etc/fstab and have it read-write I think you need to add a umask option.. and make it ntfs-3g rather that 'auto' which will be the older ntfs support | 09:40 |

| Guest64073 | digitalchemist: its new version | 09:45 |

| zl3cat | lol raj, just stick a better supported agp or pci video card in the box that's the easy answer | 09:47 |

| iKernel | Raydiation, it wouldn't be hard to introduce a menu.lst into grub 2 i should think... | 09:48 |
| Raydiation | no one needs an uberbootloader | 09:48 |
| digitalchemist | Raydiation: I think it's got potential ... they definitely changed their approach though | 09:48 |
| zl3cat | grub2 confuses and frightens me... | 09:48 |
| Raydiation | does anyone know btw how to get the countdown off grub2 btw? | 09:48 |
| zer_x252 | Anybody else have any pointers on session issues? | 09:49 |

| digitalchemist | Raydiation: do you want no auto-boot or to boot automatically into one without the menu? | 09:50 |
| iKernel | Raydiation, it's a miracle, someone finally caught the format of my sarcastic jokes | 09:50 |
| digitalchemist | Raydiation: I think it's in /etc/default/grub | 09:51 |
| Raydiation | ah ok, thx for the wikilink | 09:51 |
| Raydiation | there were so many files in the boot dir that ive overseen grub.cfg | 09:51 |
| digitalchemist | Raydiation: I'm not sure about GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT versus GRUB_TIMEOUT | 09:51 |
| digitalchemist | Raydiation: best practice is to not directly edit grub.cfg ... it isn't even write-enabled by default | 09:52 |
| hi | need help on screen resolution | 09:52 |
| zl3cat | Raydiation: you're not supposed to edut grub.cfg directly though, it gets rebuilt by scripts... the real setting is somewhere in /etc/grub2 iirc | 09:52 |
| === hi is now known as Guest23799 | ||
| digitalchemist | Raydiation: the new approach is to edit grub's generator files then run something like grub-update as root | 09:52 |

| iKernel | <Guest23799> ikernel: how can u say that | 09:57 |
| xorwhy | I'm wondering if it's possible to run the openarena server, and play on that server from the machine serving it? | 09:57 |
| xorwhy | Ah, good tip BlouBlou | 09:57 |
| BlouBlou | xorwhy: Yes, it is, because openarena-server works in a terminal (or tty) | 09:58 |
| xorwhy | Fantastic, you guys are great | 09:58 |
| BlouBlou | ^_^ | 09:58 |
| iKernel | xorwhy, you could probably connect to 127.0.0.1 that way you won't have to go via the router... or does IP stack do that by default | 09:58 |
| iKernel | =) | 09:58 |
| iKernel | *warm fuzzy feeling* | 09:58 |

| zer_x252 | wait wait wait | 10:00 |
| xorwhy | 127.0.0.1 doesn't go through the router, it'd give me a little ping advantage to not use 192.168.x.x right? | 10:00 |

| iKernel | yes | 10:00 |
| zl3cat | iKernel: I came to the conclusion about a half hour ago that that guy probably doesn't even run ubuntu and is just trolling | 10:01 |
| zer_x252 | a chipset without graphics acceleration | 10:01 |
| Guest23799 | ya 945 is a chip set | 10:01 |
| BlouBlou | xorwhy: If you connect via local network you'll get 0 ping | 10:01 |
| digitalchemist | heh ... first heard 845 then 8945 .. now it's the 945 | 10:01 |
| BlouBlou | xorwhy: However if you connect to server via internet option, you'll get 20-30 ping or something | 10:01 |
| zl3cat | that was BEFORE he started coming back under different names | 10:01 |
| zer_x252 | we need to know what graphics acceleration you are using in order to troubleshoot why you are unable to change your resolution, for all I know your using a geforce FX 5200 | 10:02 |

| iKernel | Guest23799, i think everyone who's in this channel has already figured that out by now. Why don't you just go up the street and buy yourself a cheap nvidia graphics card for 100 bucks, which will perform 5x better than your crap inbuilt one, and then you won't have any trouble with screen resolution? | 10:03 |

| porKi | Which is the best IDE for learning basic C and C++ programs ? | 10:06 |

| ubuntuuser | iKernal i am using live cd now | 10:06 |
| ubuntuuser | iKernal how do I edit the config file of gonme panel ? | 10:07 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: if you can get to a command line under your user name, try mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2-old, and logging in | 10:07 |
| zer_x252 | that should load default gnome configuration | 10:07 |
| digitalchemist | that's a little heavy-handed ... | 10:07 |
| zer_x252 | if your on karmic >< | 10:08 |
| ubuntuuser | hopefully yes on f1 , but moving it to old ? | 10:08 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: the file might be at ~/.gconf/apps/panel/profiles/default/ | 10:08 |
| digitalchemist | > toplevels/top_panel/%gconf.xml | 10:08 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 , does it really work ? | 10:08 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemis : i can't access it on a live cd | 10:08 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: mount your hard drive? :-) | 10:09 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: I'm not certain as thats the gnome-session config, and you are having issues with gnome-panel | 10:09 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: however, that doesnt mean that something in your session isn't fooling with gnome-panel | 10:09 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: not working | 10:10 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : it only freeze only when I add new panel | 10:10 |
| digitalchemist | Guest23799: the command failed? | 10:10 |
| digitalchemist | Does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist on your system? | 10:10 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: yes | 10:10 |
| niek33 | Hi all! | 10:11 |
| digitalchemist | Guest23799: so you should be able to move the xorg.conf file to another location and reboot | 10:11 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: mine drivers are up to date but still i am not able to get the resolution | 10:11 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: if you can login to your gnome sometimes, if you can get in I would try starting synaptic, press alt+f2, and type killall gnome-panel, then alt+f2 and typing gksudo synaptic, find gnome-panel and completely remove it, after thats done, reinstall it from the repository | 10:11 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : digitalchemist : how do I check my log when cause it to be freeze ? | 10:11 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: ok | 10:12 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: my guess would be somewhere under /var/log, but that's an area I'm very unfamiliar with | 10:12 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: complete removal using synaptic will also delete all configuration files, once you reinstall it from the repositories, you should be able to restart it with gnome-panel | 10:12 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: how to move xorg.conf | 10:13 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 , there is no way to edit it or remove the panel ? | 10:13 |
| zer_x252 | killall gnome-panel | 10:13 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: it looks like the configuration files have been moved .. they start at ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 10:13 |
| zer_x252 | jk | 10:13 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: well, you can keep it from starting up | 10:14 |
| Guest23799 | digitalchemist: i need the correct path | 10:14 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: what digitalchemist said | 10:14 |

| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list | 10:14 |

Your files will then still have the old user as owner of the file, wich means that you cannot modify them. That's why you should do 'chown' afterwards. | 10:32 |

| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : type "less %gconf.xml" but it came out \%gconf.xml (END) | 10:40 |
| jurisz | how to migrate cron jobs from one ubuntu instance to another? | 10:41 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: let me check on something .. brb | 10:41 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: it might be easier to guide him without the live session? | 10:41 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: I think he can't log into his regular install :-) | 10:41 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: not even with ctrl+alt+f1? | 10:41 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: to get the cli | 10:42 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: I think it's graphical that gives the problem. I'm trying to disable gnome-panel from loading ... either that or deleting gnome-panel's configuration files ... but the gconf files don't seem to have content, and I'm not sure what gconf-editor is using as its backend | 10:42 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: that'd probably work. then he could use gconf-tool2 to alter the key ... it's that or trying to chroot from the live session | 10:43 |
| raj | xorg.conf file lost | 10:43 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: :) | 10:43 |
| raj | how to regain | 10:43 |
| digitalchemist | jurisz: crontab -l > ~/cron.old ... then cat ~/cron.old | crontab - | 10:44 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | sudo apt-get you're screwed | 10:44 |
| jurisz | tnx | 10:44 |
| digitalchemist | ShazbotMcNasty: lol | 10:44 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : I am really out of idea | 10:44 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : I just wanted to restore back my config panel to default . | 10:44 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: strangest thing I've ever seen, I created a new user, went to login to gnome, still won't let me login on regular gnome, but will let me login on gnome failsafe | 10:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | raj: it should generate a new one if you log out and back in again | 10:45 |
| tolpico | I have installed some emerald themes, but when I apply them in emerald manger, they don't apply. I have even restarted the desktop environment and restarted. Is there anything else I am supposed to do to apply them? | 10:45 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: you'll need to restart to your normal install to try this, so make sure to either write it down or remember it ... I'll make a command that should let you log back in | 10:45 |
| === xabbu is now known as Guest98709 | ||
| zer_x252 | tolpico try pressing Alt+F2 and typing emerald --replace | 10:45 |
| minimec | zer_x252: So it is not a gnome-session problem... | 10:46 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: correct, it has to be something else | 10:46 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : so I need to restart back to the system installed ? karmic ? | 10:46 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: yes, but not yet | 10:46 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: I assumed it was a session issue since it only occured when attempting to login with one session, but that must not be the case | 10:46 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : ? | 10:46 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: he will give you a command for you to write down, wait | 10:47 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: I'm writing the command that you'll be using ... give me a couple of seconds | 10:47 |
| minimec | zer_x252: So what could it be.... hmmmm | 10:47 |
| tolpico | zer_x252, no no effect, still the same | 10:47 |
| chilli0 | Hi how can I get ubuntu to work with xbox 360 ? | 10:47 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: meanwhile, get hold on a pen and some paper | 10:47 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : ok thanks :-) | 10:47 |
| chilli0 | Play music , pics ,movies | 10:47 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: I looked at it being gdm, I tried reinstalling gdm and even completely removing gdm and reinstalling it | 10:47 |
| raj | need resolution | 10:48 |
| raj | higher resolution | 10:48 |
| raj | need help | 10:49 |
| zer_x252 | tolpico, try sudo apt-get install fusion-icon, and then run fusion-icon from applications->System, it will add an icon to your gnome-panel, right-click on it and click Reload Window Manager | 10:49 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X: I enable log on xchat now , | 10:49 |
| minimec | zer_x252: ok. change <ctrl><alt>F1, login then 'sudo killall gdm', then startx | 10:49 |
| raj | my xorg.conf is un traceable | 10:50 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: that log will get erased once you reboot the computer | 10:50 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: alright, you'll need to reboot into your karmic install, but don't do the graphical login. Instead, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 ... login to this console and type the command that I'll send in my next message | 10:50 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: should I log out of this session first or no? | 10:50 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X: I 'll copy it into a the desktop of my installed system | 10:50 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list -t list --list-type string $(gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list | sed 's/,panel//') | 10:50 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: yes, do that | 10:50 |
| minimec | zer_x252: You can logout the session. | 10:50 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : where should I do thaty? | 10:51 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : here on live cd or login to the system ? | 10:51 |
| chilli0 | Hi how can I get ubuntu to work with xbox 360 ? | 10:51 |
| chilli0 | Play music , pics ,movies | 10:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: login to karmic | 10:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: with ctrl-alt-f1 | 10:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: and then paste it in the cli | 10:52 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X: hopefully I am able to boot in | 10:52 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X: ok | 10:52 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: this command will remove gnome-panel from the required startup apps. after that, you should be able to login and use gconf-tool to reset the configuration for gnome-panel ... | 10:52 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ubuntuuser: when u see the login screen press ctrl-alt-F1 | 10:52 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X: ok | 10:52 |
| digitalchemist | chilli0: I think mediatomb will do what you're wanting ... a non-free trial software called twonky also can | 10:52 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : X-Sleepy-X : log out now | 10:52 |
| ubuntuuser | brb | 10:52 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: good luck :-) | 10:53 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: no change still... | 10:53 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : ok ;-) | 10:53 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: thanks for fielding those other questions :-) | 10:54 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: :) | 10:54 |
| linuxius | does anyone know a program I can use to display pictures and videos in full screen mode (I want to present pictures and movies from my holidays to relatives...) | 10:55 |
| linuxius | ? | 10:55 |
| linuxius | fspot can't handle videos.... | 10:55 |
| digitalchemist | linuxius: all of the players have fullscreen options, I think | 10:55 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: moovida | 10:55 |
| linuxius | yes, but I always have to switch windows from pictures to movies.... | 10:56 |
| digitalchemist | linuxius: gotcha | 10:56 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: moovida is a media center | 10:56 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: sudo apt-get install moovida | 10:56 |
| lesshaste | hello all | 10:57 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: that looks really cool. never heard of it before :-D | 10:57 |
| linuxius | thanks!!! | 10:57 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: it's nice, formerly called elisa | 10:57 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: or you could go for XBMC | 10:57 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: but then you'd have to add their repository | 10:57 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: ah, that project looked like it had some promise. and this appears to be Python stuff, so that add some cool points | 10:58 |
| X-Sleepy-X | linuxius: XBMC = Xbox Media Center | 10:58 |
| minimec | zer_x252: Any news? I have some problems with the irc server today... ;) | 10:58 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: Yeah, they recently release v.1.0 | 10:58 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: nothing changed after killing gdm | 10:58 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: movvida i mean. | 10:58 |
| X-Sleepy-X | moovida* | 10:59 |
| minimec | zer_x252: so if you do startx in the terminal... what happens? | 10:59 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: x fails to start due to there being an x session already open, I forget how to kill an x session though /embarassed | 10:59 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765814&page=2 this seems to be a very similar issue, if i recall, failsafe uses failsafe drivers as well, so I will try and reinstall my proprietary nvidia drivers (currently I am using the cuda-enabled ones, so I will probably reinstall those) | 11:01 |
| minimec | zer_x252: hmm... ok. try that. | 11:01 |
| ranjan | how to chake version of any software on ubuntu 9.10 from terminal please help | 11:02 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | well it depends on what you're trying to get the version of | 11:03 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | What app do you want the version of | 11:03 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ? | 11:03 |
| X-Sleepy-X | any | 11:03 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | D: | 11:03 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ;) | 11:03 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sudo apt-get install any | 11:04 |
| digitalchemist | X-Sleepy-X: ShazbotMcNasty: I'm not an apt expert, but there's got to be a command to check the version of installed packages ... this seems to be what (s)he wants | 11:04 |
| X-Sleepy-X | digitalchemist: there is, but i cant seem to remember at the moment | 11:04 |
| subito | -v gives the version of apt :( | 11:05 |
| Gumby | wow, the alpha release of karmic gave me less install problems than the final has/is | 11:05 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | well sudo apt-cache search all would probably do it | 11:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ranjan: sudo apt-cache showpkg PACKAGENAMEHERE | 11:07 |
| digitalchemist | ShazbotMcNasty: X-Sleepy-X: ranjan: dpkg -s <packagename> | 11:07 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | look sit's my pretty desktop | 11:08 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | :http://omploader.org/vMzJ0bA | 11:08 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | :| | 11:08 |
| ranjan | X-Sleepy-X :: digitalchemist :: thanks i got the solution | 11:08 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | http://omploader.org/vMzJ0bA ** | 11:08 |
| bazhang | ShazbotMcNasty, dont paste that here | 11:09 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | drats | 11:09 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ranjan: :) | 11:09 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I'm just bored... | 11:09 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I guess I'll go to bed | 11:09 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | peace | 11:09 |
| digitalchemist | that's cool looking though | 11:10 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | thanks | 11:10 |
| lonejack | hi, problem using pppoeconfig. At the end of procedure I can go on the net but when the system restart I must repeat the pppoeconfig if I want to go on the net.. Any advices? | 11:11 |
| elzoog | Hey everybody I have a question | 11:11 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: go for it | 11:12 |
| dnivra | lonejack: did you mean pppoeconf? | 11:12 |
| lonejack | dnivra, yes, sorry | 11:12 |
| elzoog | First, can you guys see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnziG8Lfp88 | 11:13 |
| dnivra | lonejack: no you don't have to repeat pppoeconf everytime to connect. just use "sudo pon dls-provider". | 11:13 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: heh, I get that at work ... it has something to do with the avahi service | 11:13 |
| dnivra | lonejack: or whatever is the name of the file that's there in /etc/ppp/peers | 11:13 |
| elzoog | It's not just Avahi, it's also that annoying thing above it that I want to get rid of | 11:14 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: I figured out what I did wrong on the step you told me a few tries ago, its sudo killall gdm-binary not sudo killall gdm, after logging in as a user on another terminal and killing gdm, start x brings up gnome perfectly | 11:14 |
| elzoog | If it weren't for those annoying things, I would go ahead and install Ubuntu on the netbook. It is a present for my 8 year old daughter | 11:14 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: oh, crazy ... the brightness change notifier keeps doing that? | 11:14 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: it's a live session? | 11:15 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: so it looks like it was a gdm issue afterall? | 11:15 |
| elzoog | Digital: Yep, it does it on the live USB, and it also does it if I install Ubuntu on the hard drive (I know, I tried it, then uninstalled Ubuntu because of that reason) | 11:15 |
| elzoog | Digital: Is that what that is, the brightness change notifier? | 11:16 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: so much for that. was wondering if it'd be isolated to the live session ... have you tried playing with the brightness keys on the laptop at all ... maybe something is stuck? | 11:16 |
| lonejack | dnivra, at certain moment when I launch pppoecconf, it ask me if I want to start the connection at startup. This doesn't work | 11:16 |
| X-Sleepy-X | just uninstall the notifying package | 11:16 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: that's what it looks like to me | 11:16 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: yeah, you could sudo apt-get remove libnotify | 11:17 |
| elzoog | Digital: Ok, let me try that. What happens is that comes up for a few minutes after I boot. Then it goes away | 11:17 |
| dnivra | lonejack: that's not the connection; that's the pppd daemon i think. the connection is never started on startup I assure you. | 11:17 |
| zer_x252 | elzoog: you could sudo cat the keyboard device to see if a key is stuck | 11:17 |
| freeride | please advice kde3 repository. I use Karmic | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | freeride: what? Kde is in the normal repos. | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !info kubuntu-desktop | 11:19 |
| ubottu | kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.154 (karmic), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB | 11:19 |
| lonejack | Probably that's was my mistake. So what I have to do is: pppoeconf, then at startup launch "sudo pon dls-provider" | 11:19 |
| dnivra | lonejack: dsl-provider sorry "sudo pon dsl-provider". yeah just do this command to start. and "sudo poff -a" to stop the connection | 11:20 |
| elzoog | What does sudo apt-get remove libnotify do? | 11:20 |
| vfen | merry xmas | 11:20 |
| dnivra | lonejack: note that "dsl-provider" is the name of a file in /etc/ppp/peers; just verify it is the file. you can open the file and see if your DSL username and password is there in the file. | 11:21 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: it'll remove the notification package ... the program that's showing any of those popups | 11:21 |
| zer_x252 | elzoog: removes the ubuntu libnotify utility, it creates the notification popups in the upper right-hand corner | 11:21 |
| lonejack | dnivra, thank you a lot | 11:21 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: it's kind of a shotgun approach, but it'd get rid of the popups :-D | 11:21 |
| Gumby | does anyone know if it is possible to use a livecd.iso, mount it, and run the installer from it? | 11:21 |
| dnivra | lonejack: sure thing. no problem. glad I could help out:). | 11:21 |
| elzoog | Also, is it possible to run the updater, put it on the USB, then install linux with everything updated already? | 11:21 |
| zer_x252 | Gumby: probably, there is an install from windows option, which is essentially just that | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Gumby: if you wish to install ubuntu from within another OS. you can also use the 'debootstrap' method. | 11:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !install | 11:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 11:22 |
| === ari_stress is now known as linux_hohoho | ||
| digitalchemist | elzoog: there's probably a way ... I remember hearing about a project which lets you make your own live cds off of a customized install | 11:23 |
| zer_x252 | Anybody else have insight on the ongoing issue of not being able to login to my regular gnome-session, I can login to failsafe fine, and my regular session logs in if I kill gdm (pointing the finger at GDM) | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: clarify what happens when you do try to login? | 11:23 |
| Gumby | Dr_Willis, my problem is this.. the cd I burned will boot, but the installer keeps failing telling me that it cant read from the disk. I only has the one blank CD. So I was thinking of trying to mount the iso which is still on the hard disk on a partition I wont be erasing and then run the installer from inside a chroot (if that makes any sense) | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: you could remove/move all the gnome setting files and see if that clears it up | 11:23 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: maybe this will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872 | 11:24 |
| mat619 | Hey folks! I need an application to put exif tags on photos and search/browse them by those tags... F-Spot could do this afaik but I have the problem described in Bug 286544 and can therefore not use it. Any alternatives that can do this job? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Gumby: I always just use unetbootin, or the usb-creator tool to make bootabel flash drives. Ive never used debootstrap or any other fancier ways to install. | 11:24 |
| elzoog | Also, should I bother to make the netbook dual boot? I definitely want winbugs XP because any software my 8 year old daughter is likely to have will be winbugs software. But I don't know how a typical 8 year old child would react to linux | 11:24 |
| === ubuntu is now known as yz250 | ||
| Gumby | Dr_Willis, yeah, I dont have my usb stick with me either. hehe | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mat619: thers googles picassa2 or watever its called.. (i dont do muich of that stuff) | 11:25 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: no harm in it | 11:25 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: if GDM is running and I attempt to login to my normal gnome session, I get the Nvidia splash screen for about a half second and then it brings me back to gdm; so far I have done ~/.gnome2, ~/.gnome2-private, ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, reinstalled graphics drivers, creating a new user account | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Gumby: Id suggest just waiting till you get a flash drive. Unetbootin i Hear can also do a 'frugal' type install to a partion of a hard disk. but thats not a normal install. thats more of a live-cd type install. | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: so your X session is basically crashing. | 11:26 |
| mat619 | Dr_Willis: ok i should've added "except picasa" because it's a) overblown with features for what i want to do and b) a piece of google software which I'm skeptical about | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: a NEWly made user account also has the same issue? | 11:26 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_willis: basically, however I get no indication of such in logs | 11:26 |
| elzoog | Digital: Which is better for a netbook, Ubuntu netbook remix, or Ubuntu desktop? | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | mat619: good luck then. | 11:26 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: it's pretty easy to do ... from your live environment, use gparted to resize the Windows partition. Then you can install Ubuntu on the freed remaining space. It'll use grub as the bootloader, so you'll be able to easily choose between Windows and Ubuntu ... but make sure to make a copy of your MBR in case you want to remove Ubuntu/Grub and go back to pure windows | 11:26 |
| BinaryMan | Dr_Willis: Try using failsafe gnome? | 11:26 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: yes, and NEWLY created user suffers from the same issue | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: either one will work. I tend to install the UNR then install ubuntu-desktop | 11:26 |
| elzoog | Digital: I know how to do it. I've probably done it more than a thousand times. | 11:27 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: give netbook remix a try. they've come a long way, and it's quite nice now. Worst case scenario, you can change a setting in UNR and get the normal desktop | 11:27 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: well, you never know :-) | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | BinaryMan: that points to some driver issue. or compiz issue. as a test try installing some other window maanger like 'flwm' or 'icewm' see if the users can loging to those correctly. The fact that failsafe works.. is.. interesting and points to it might being a compiz or fancy gnome feature issue | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: the netbook remix also may be tweaked a little more for the devices. | 11:28 |
| elzoog | Since the drive is 160 GB, I guess I will make 40 GB space for Ubuntu. Since she would probably use Windows most of the time whereas she might only try Ubuntu | 11:29 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willies: I have compiz installed, but its on a delayed startup script I wrote so I could easily weed it out, I'll try another WM, but if I can login to those what should my next step be? | 11:29 |
| BinaryMan | Dr_Willis: Have you only looked at the logs? Does 'dmesg' spit back anything interesting? | 11:29 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis* | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | BinaryMan: its zer_x252 having the issues. :) | 11:29 |
| zer_x252 | BinaryMan: I think you have me and Dr_Willies confused, I had the login issues :P | 11:29 |
| BinaryMan | whoops | 11:29 |
| zer_x252 | =D | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: i would try disabling compiz totally. | 11:29 |
| BinaryMan | chat scrolled while I was reading and thought the doctor was having the problems. | 11:30 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: completely remove? or just disabling it? | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: also theres some login mode that goes to just a xterminal, with no wm/desktop and try 'gnome-session' from there. looking for error messages in the terminal window | 11:30 |
| BinaryMan | disable it | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: i always just disable it. | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fusion-icon | 11:30 |
| ubottu | fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.0-2 (karmic), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I like fusion-icon for that job. | 11:30 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: I already have it disabled and fusion-icon =D | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: try gnome-session, see if it gives any clues | 11:31 |
| elzoog | Besides, my copy of Windows is slightly bootlegged. I downloaded the ISO off of bittorrent, then used the XP key that I bought online. I think though, that since I paid for it, I should be allowed to install it on any computer I want. But Windows seems to want me to buy a key every time I put it on a different computer | 11:31 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: I even have it disabled on boot, and a script to start it about 15 seconds after boot and spit any errors at me :D | 11:31 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: okay, I'll give it a shot | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: thats how the EULA from MS works... :) | 11:31 |
| BinaryMan | I shall refrain from my own opinions on Microsoft's EULA and just exactly where they can stick it. | 11:32 |
| elzoog | Yeah, it's stupid. I did a hack to make sure that the Windows XP I put on the netbook won't check to be authentic. | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Netbooks are basically the only reason that XP is even still around right now. MS brought Xp back from the brink of death to counter the Linux On Netbooks assault. :) | 11:33 |
| elzoog | So what would happen if my hard drive crashes and I install a different hard drive? Would MS want me to buy a key again? | 11:33 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: they'd want you to buy new keys whatever the occasion :-) | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Saw a larger netbook on sale that had Win7 on it. the store' computer dude' said it wasent a 'netbook' because it has a larger screen... *told him that was MS marketing/licening propaganda* and he looked at me funny. | 11:33 |
| elzoog | Digital: So that means if I get up out of my chair to take a piss, and come back to the computer 5 minutes later, they would want me to buy another key? | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: i dont think the XP licening stuff gets activated with just a HD change. | 11:34 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: yes. it's a different point in space-time, so you should get authorization for each new quantum | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: #windows would be able to tell you when it gets triggered. I was thinking it was like 3 major hardwaare change's | 11:34 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: I was unable to login to xterm to see if gnome-session worked, it did the exact same thing as logging into non failsafe gnome does | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: now thats very weird. | 11:35 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: could it be gdm itself? | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: You could go old skool.. disable gdm. . make a .xinitrc file with the line. 'exec xterm' and use 'startx' then test from there. | 11:36 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: I recently installed Windows 7 on a computer then decided to not use it. Instead, I wanted it on another computer. Installed it on the new one but it refused to activate. Called them up and they reactivated, no questions asked. The process kinda sucks, but whatever | 11:36 |
| r3d2_ | Note to self: Get a doctorate and don't add Dr. to the prefix of my tag. | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: it seems odd that gdm works.. but gnome dosent.. You tried flwm yet or icewm? | 11:36 |
| elzoog | Dr_Willis: The point is, if the hard drive crashes then all of that data is lost (except for the key, which I stored somewhere). So that would mean if I install a hard drive, and use the old key and then go online to try to authenticate it, it has already been authenticated plus the hardware changed. | 11:36 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: no, I'll whip one of those out real quick | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: deoending on the tile btween activations it can get tagged as invalid. | 11:37 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: the auto/online activation will probably fail ... but they'll probably honor it on the phone | 11:37 |
| chadi | after I updated my ubuntu, when I boot my computer, grub shows: GRUB _ < with this underscore turning on and off and it hangs. What's wrong? I can't do anything now :/ | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: yea - i like flwm for light wm's :) | 11:37 |
| BinaryMan | elzoog: At that point, you have to call Microsoft. I've had to do it before. | 11:37 |
| FANDER | guys, there's something that annoys me too much. I want to be able to "send" photos from my mobile to ubuntu using bluetooth, but I want the sending procedure to happen from the mobile, i.e to select the computer from the mobile and send the file. Did you understand what I mean? | 11:37 |
| BinaryMan | and they do honor it, after about 10 minutes worth of questions. | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: You should call MS and wish them happy new year anyway... | 11:38 |
| ubuntuuser | X-Sleepy-X : hi , it doesn't work | 11:38 |
| digitalchemist | BinaryMan: I've only done it once, and the only question I got asked was the 3,000 digit activation number | 11:38 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : it does'nt work | 11:38 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: what happens? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine very soon XP will be totally dead.. and it wont latter elzoog | 11:39 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: okay ... makes sense, what's the problem? | 11:39 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : it just said directory something , i tried numerous times it still doesn't work | 11:39 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : i dont know how to explain | 11:39 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: the command worked but you still can't log on? | 11:39 |
| elzoog | Dr_Willis: Problem is, what will replace XP? Vista sucks (I have that on my laptop). I haven't heard many good things about Windows 7 | 11:40 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : i am able to login , pressting F1 but it said cannot find | 11:40 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: Windows 7 is very good, surprisingly enough | 11:40 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : I let you see my problem. | 11:40 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: k | 11:40 |
| BinaryMan | digitalchemist: I was calling in regards to XP Corporate which uses VLKs, which are pirated often. | 11:40 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: the problem is that for example I want to send the contacts to my PC and that can happens only by sending it from Mobile to PC. I can't access the contacts saved in the mobile from the file browser. THis is one problem | 11:41 |
| FANDER | so is there a solution? | 11:41 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : my top and bottom panel all missing , I can't right click at all | 11:41 |
| chadi | after I updated my ubuntu, when I boot my computer, grub shows: GRUB _ < with this underscore turning on and off and it hangs. What's wrong? I can't do anything now :/ Please help me guys, I am unable to access any OS! | 11:41 |
| elzoog | Digital: Well, Windows XP seems stable enough, which is proof of the supernatural since it would require a supernatural force to make Windows stable. | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: win7 is replaceing xp. Thats MS's decision basically | 11:41 |
| digitalchemist | BinaryMan: ahh, too bad I lost my VLK ... that was a nice time | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | elzoog: wont matter how stable xp used to be. I am finding more and more new hardware that has no xp drivers. | 11:41 |
| BinaryMan | It was a legit one that kept flagging back as invalid. | 11:41 |
| digitalchemist | chadi: it hangs ... ? | 11:41 |
| chadi | yeah | 11:41 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: it's possible. I've done it before. | 11:42 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : it's like can't access terminal , synaptic all function cannot be access via panel . I can't do anything except F1 terminal and browse through files | 11:42 |
| chadi | digitalchemist it stops responding | 11:42 |
| digitalchemist | elzoog: I'll have to start going to church then! | 11:42 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: I flwm works | 11:42 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: Ok how? | 11:42 |
| puffs | chadi, there was nothing that could help me | 11:42 |
| elzoog | Of course if I update to Windows 7, that would mean buying another key | 11:42 |
| puffs | had to format koala | 11:42 |
| chadi | digitalchemist: like, the "underscore" keeps flashing but it just stops | 11:42 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : did you recieve my file picture ? | 11:43 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: should I go ahead and try gnome-session from xinit? | 11:43 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: no, I didn't see anything come across | 11:43 |
| chadi | puffs how can I explain more? it's not a system crash, it's a grub failure apparently | 11:43 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: link? | 11:43 |
| FANDER | chadi: كيفك ابو الشدود | 11:43 |
| elzoog | I'm surprised more people haven't jumped ship and switched to Ubuntu. | 11:43 |
| FANDER | sorry | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: from .xinitrc yea. that would be a good test. and you will get messages in the console. | 11:43 |

| ubuntuuser | why it doesn't ? | 11:43 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: okay, I will be back in a sec | 11:44 |
| digitalchemist | chadi: no clue, you don't even get a grub command prompt? | 11:44 |
| chadi | digitalchemist nope :/ | 11:44 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: not sure ... I'm using empathy | 11:44 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: Do you still have the LiveCD? | 11:44 |
| chadi | BinaryMan yeah, it's thre right now and I am trying to figure it out | 11:44 |
| digitalchemist | chadi: I've never encountered this ... I don't think I can be any help | 11:44 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: OK? | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I think we need to get zer. to install a console irc client... | 11:45 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 11:45 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: let me get my adapter so I can see what to do | 11:45 |
| puffs | chadi, you upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, right? | 11:45 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: it's not exactly the problem your having, but it should fix it. | 11:45 |
| chadi | digitalchemist I am going to grub install again: grub-install /dev/sda5 | 11:45 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: and it'll explain how in much more clarity than I can provide here. | 11:45 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: I'm back, in the gnome-session i start in xterm | 11:45 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: seems this is gdm then? | 11:46 |
| digitalchemist | chadi: that's a good first step :-) | 11:46 |
| chadi | I should have said that grub is not my MBR | 11:46 |
| digitalchemist | chadi: gotcha, a reinstall should fix it then | 11:46 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7347/screenshotvd.png please help | 11:46 |
| dxy | i just installed 9.10 it doesnt ask for the root password? what is default? | 11:46 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : i am getting sleepy now , going soon , I really out of idea | 11:47 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: sudo killall gnome-panel | 11:47 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: click the indicator, the go to setup new device ... you'll need you phone in discoverable mode ... this should let you pair the device. Once that's done, your transfer should work | 11:47 |
| lstarnes | dxy: there is no default root password. root is also locked by default | 11:47 |
| chadi | great, it worked! :D | 11:47 |
| OpenSorce | dxy, no... use sudo | 11:47 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : I can't even access terminal at gui | 11:47 |
| Joe__ | hmm... it looks like my firefox profile got corrupted, is there anyway I can figure out exactly what it is so I can try and save as much as possible? | 11:48 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : the only way I can access is through ctrl+alt+f1 | 11:48 |
| digitalchemist | ubuntuuser: I've seen that happen before ... but mine was fixed by restarting | 11:48 |
| zer_x252 | ubuntuuser: does Alt+F2 bring up a prompt? | 11:48 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: good to hear. | 11:48 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : never tried that | 11:48 |
| BlouBlou | dxy: root password is the same that your administrator account | 11:48 |
| digitalchemist | Does anyone know the dpkg command to reconfigure a package? that might help ubuntuuser | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: yea. Not sure what the deal would be.. one other way to test.. stop the gdm service.. as root in a console run just 'gdm' see if any error messages show up. :) and also.. Install an console based irc client like weechat or irssi so you dont have to keep loging in/out of here. :) | 11:48 |
| chadi | puffs nope, clean install of 9.10, just did an update. digitalchemist and BinaryMan: thank you both :) | 11:48 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : will restart and tried it | 11:48 |
| ubuntuuser | digitalchemist : will restart and try it alt+f2 | 11:49 |
| ubuntuuser | zer_x252 : sorry I am new | 11:49 |
| dxy | OpenSorce thanks man i found it | 11:49 |
| ubuntuuser | brb | 11:49 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: should it be gdm or gdm-binary? | 11:49 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: no no this is not my problem. I know how to make pairing. The problem is that my phone can't see my PC when I want to send files to PC. But when I click browse file on the device, it works!!! | 11:49 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: my PC is discoverable | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | zer_x252: just gdm i think.. Not really suire with 9.10 | 11:50 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: seems they are interchangable, at least from the output I get when trying to start it with x in use | 11:50 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: does your phone need to do a similar process of pairing? | 11:50 |
| zer_x252 | Dr_Willis: will try that and be back in a sec | 11:50 |
| BinaryMan | chadi: Imagine that happening on a lab with 25 workstations. You'd be amazed at the amount of GRUB problems that end up happening and I have to fix. | 11:50 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: when I was using my Palm, I think I had to make sure the computer was an authorized device before I could send to it | 11:50 |
| FANDER | digitalchemist: mmm...maybe this is my problem, I'll try that | 11:51 |
| digitalchemist | FANDER: yeah, see if your phone has some sort of bluetooth configuration steps for devices ... some kind of pairing/authorization list | 11:51 |
| chadi | BinaryMan: wow. btw, maybe I had to let grub take the MBR. But I chose windows boot manager to load grub. WE'll see later | 11:52 |

| jubilem | couple of.. first the screen does not lid after sleep, and secondly harddrive seems to be parking continuosly | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jubilem: check the ubuntu forums yet? i was thinking the Thinkpad had its own 'section' at one time. | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Been thinking about getting a thinkpad for my next laptop... | 11:56 |

| dnivra | hello voss; merry christmas:). | 12:00 |
| dnivra | !ask | voss | 12:00 |
| ubottu | voss: 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. :-) | 12:00 |
| digitalchemist | voss: depends what you have | 12:00 |
| voss | thanks.. :) same to you | 12:00 |
| voss | well... | 12:00 |
| voss | downloaded and installed savage2 | 12:00 |

| voss | and when i ./savage2.bin to play | 12:01 |
| digitalchemist | dnivra: thanks then, you too :-) | 12:01 |
| Jork | Hello guys | 12:01 |
| voss | there is: bash: ./savage2.bin: Permission denied | 12:01 |

| dnivra | voss: just a guess that's all:). | 12:02 |
| digitalchemist | voss: chown? | 12:02 |

| iceroot | Daughain: lm-sensors | 12:19 |
| adam587 | i was there but there are some options such as ext2 ext 3 etc what to do? | 12:19 |

| lstarnes | Daughain: if lm-sensors is installed, use the command sensors | 12:19 |
| zer_x252 | iceroot: unless he's in karmic, which regressed lm-sensors | 12:20 |
| Znuff | Hi there! How would I change the running level on Karmic? | 12:20 |
| lstarnes | adam587: if it's going to be used as your main partition for linux, use ext3 or ext4 | 12:20 |
| dnivra | dnm: when you left click on NM and click on the connection, doesn't it connection? | 12:20 |

| Znuff | FANDER, run level, init 1, init 2, init 3, init 4, init 5, init 6... what we used to have before ubuntu changed everything :P | 12:21 |

| muzy | Hello everyone, i have some troubles..I deleted /var/cache/apt/ and now apt does not work anymore (even aptitude does not work) how to fix this issue | 12:21 |
| Znuff | so telinit is the replacement for system v init stuff? | 12:21 |

| r3d2_ | "compressed" | 12:29 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: if cleaning out your heatsinks doesnt help, your thermal compound has probably evaporated, pick up some Artic Silver 5 and replace it :D | 12:29 |

| zer_x252 | Darkchylde: the small drop in the center was acceptable during early computing days, with the amount of thermal dissipation required to cool CPUs and GPUs these days, that just doesnt cover the whole surface area properly | 12:33 |
| lstarnes | sixtila: no | 12:33 |
| lstarnes | sixtila: but you can gp to the 32-bit version of karmic | 12:34 |

| Darkchylde | zer_x252: to be fair, i haven't had to apply it to anything more recent than an athlon XP. | 12:34 |
| zer_x252 | r3d2_: thats the exact method used in the video, card and all | 12:34 |
| r3d2_ | As long as you cover the heat-exchange of your cpu in a very fine layer, I say it's good. | 12:34 |
| zer_x252 | Darkchylde: wasn't insulting the method :D I used to do it, and then came mr i7 | 12:34 |

| kyentei | bazhang: I see. Alright. | 12:41 |
| lenny__ | motivation to use 64-bit OSs? to waste memory of course | 12:41 |
| zer_x252 | r3d2_: in fact it looks like dmesg has nothing to say about gdm | 12:42 |
| lstarnes | lenny__: that;s not the only reason to use 64-bit | 12:42 |
| zer_x252 | lenny__: damn right, 12gb of memory and I still feel like I'm not wasting enough | 12:42 |
| Daughain | Ah, found it. Need the sensors-applet installed as well. | 12:42 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: oh, I thought the gnome-panel applet came installed my bad >< | 12:43 |
| lenny__ | lstarnes: no, that's the only reason because you have 0 added features but nearly double memory usage | 12:43 |
| zer_x252 | lenny__: you are severely missinformed as to what 64-bit is | 12:43 |
| lenny__ | I men there is an added feature... you can address more than 4GB of ram | 12:43 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; No worries, I didnt remember either, but, figgered I would take a look for what I missed. I couldnr remember the names to begin with. =) | 12:43 |
| zer_x252 | lenny__: 64-bit doesnt refer to how memory is allocated, it refers to the number of bits of data the processor processes in a single iteration | 12:44 |
| lenny__ | but you need to address more than 4GB of ram only if you're wasting a lot | 12:44 |
| lenny__ | zer_x252: I know that | 12:44 |
| lstarnes | lenny__: I can name at least one example: applications that use numbers larger than 32 bits in size can use them natively insetad of needing to emulate larger numbers, which results in a performance boost | 12:44 |

| lstarnes | adsflhsf: almost any of them between 0 and 65535 | 12:51 |
| bazhang | r3d2_, please stop that | 12:51 |
| r3d2_ | I thought it was funny. | 12:51 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: some might be reserved though, but you'll get an error if you try to use them | 12:51 |
| daftykins | portn0k_: ah how did you install? | 12:51 |
| portn0k_ | livecd, but i dont have it anymore | 12:51 |
| adsflhsf | what are the recommended ?? | 12:51 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: also, you might only be able to use ports equal to or above 1024 if you aren't root or using sudo | 12:52 |
| zer_x252 | quick question on restore install from livecd | 12:52 |
| adsflhsf | 49100 - 49150 | 12:52 |
| digitalchemist | adsflhsf: anything above 1024 should be available with user-level auth | 12:52 |
| adsflhsf | so many oh ! | 12:52 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: it depends on what protocol you are using with udp | 12:52 |
| adsflhsf | im using with UDP | 12:52 |
| zer_x252 | will i lose everything? as in.. have to do all the customization work again? | 12:52 |
| Daughain | OK, whats the command to configure an app? | 12:52 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: what are you using with udp? | 12:52 |
| zer_x252 | if so, I'm just gonna keep logging into the failsafe terminal | 12:52 |
| digitalchemist | zer_x252: do you have /home on a separate partition? | 12:52 |
| adsflhsf | lstarnes : boardgame server with java. | 12:53 |
| digitalchemist | zer_x252: were you able to create a new user and log in successfully with that? | 12:53 |
| daftykins | portn0k_: ah ok, i'm outof ideas then i'm afraid, could download and write one if you have a blank disc? | 12:53 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: it would depend on the udp ports that that program is designed to use by default | 12:53 |
| portn0k_ | daftykins: yeahi guess so. thanks for your time | 12:53 |
| minimec | Daughain: sudo dpkg-reconfigure 'yourapp' With this command you set your app back to default... for example. | 12:53 |
| zer_x252 | digitalchemist: shamefully, no, I went to windows for about 2 years, and wanted to come back to linux, so this was originally installed next to a windows install for me to work back into linux... | 12:53 |
| lstarnes | adsflhsf: otherwise, you might be able to use almost anything | 12:53 |
| daftykins | no problemo! | 12:53 |
| adsflhsf | so, i can choose freely, ok !! thanks !! | 12:54 |
| zer_x252 | diditalchemist: no, I created a new user, and I had the same issue with the new user as I did with my original user | 12:54 |
| zer_x252 | digitalchemist* | 12:54 |
| lukas__ | elo | 12:54 |
| Daughain | minimec, Its already at default, I need to change it, and then figger out how to get the damn thing to run. Or at least find it so I can use it. =) | 12:54 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: what app? | 12:54 |
| lukas__ | Hello | 12:54 |
| Daughain | sensors-applet | 12:54 |
| digitalchemist | zer_x252: just back up your user folder before doing anything ... you might be able to simply replace the fresh-install one with your backed up one. Since you weren't able to login with a new account, it probably isn't a problem with anything in your home folder | 12:55 |
| lukas__ | how can i play SAMP on Ubuntu ? | 12:55 |
| minimec | Daughain: System wide configuration files are normally stored in /etc/youtapp/config or in a file in /etc. | 12:55 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; I installed with synaptics, but still cant find it on the panel. | 12:55 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; I installed with synaptics, but still cant find it on the panel. | 12:56 |
| digitalchemist | Daughain: try killall gnome-panel then look for it | 12:56 |
| Daughain | dAMMIT | 12:56 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: right-click on your gnome panel (thats the grey bar at the top) and click add to panel, scroll through there and there should be one that says sensors-applet, also make sure you run sudo sensors-detect in a terminal to configure lmsensors | 12:56 |
| Daughain | minimec; Raw newb here. I just barely followed what you said, and dont feel like I wanna tinker with things I dont understand. =) | 12:56 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto Daughain have you seen this | 12:57 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; Lemme run the config first.....Though, sensors-applet does *not* as of yet show in the 'add to panel'. | 12:57 |
| Daughain | IN about three min I will, bazhang. Thanks. | 12:57 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: i reccomend that link | 12:58 |
| === XYf is now known as Xer | ||
| Yraya | hi everybody | 12:58 |
| Daughain | Waiting for it to load, zer_x252. Reinstall hasnt helped my slow as shit web opage loading. | 12:58 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: also, if you sudo killall gnome-panel in a terminal it will restart the gnome-panel, click add to panel again it should be called Hardware Sensors Monitor | 12:59 |
| jasman | What antivirus for ubuntu? | 12:59 |
| minimec | Daughain: What software you need to be configured? | 12:59 |
| rsk | jasman, you don't need it | 12:59 |
| lstarnes | !antivirus | jasman | 12:59 |
| ubottu | jasman: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 12:59 |
| rsk | jasman, unless you want to scan other files on windows pc on the network or similar | 12:59 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: hes trying to get lmsensors to display temperatures on his desktop, but doesnt want to fiddle with conky or karamba, so I'm pointing him in the direction of sensors-applet for gnome-panel | 13:00 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; That was it. Once again, I dont remember names, and was looking for the wrong thing. | 13:00 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: =D glad to hear you got it :D | 13:00 |
| Daughain | So am I. =) | 13:00 |
| digitalchemist | zer_x252: Daughain: screenlets might be work ... sudo apt-get install screenlets | 13:01 |
| Daughain | digitalchemist; I'm going slow here and getting this sys back to what I had before....*Then* I will play with new things. | 13:01 |
| zer_x252 | Daughain: make a good backup of your system when you get it where you want it, then you can feel free to explore linux as much as you want :D | 13:02 |
| Daughain | Though, mebbe re-applying thermal paste helped....My temps are down to normal. | 13:02 |
| minimec | zer_x252: Good idea. Did he install that applet? | 13:02 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: yes, exactly what he wanted :D | 13:02 |
| Daughain | zer_x252; No, I just need another system I dont actualy *need* for anything. =) | 13:02 |
| m0rph1as | Merry X-Mas 2 U All... | 13:03 |
| zer_x252 | minimec: as for my issue, it looks like a reinstall is in store for me >< | 13:03 |
| Daughain | minimec; I had the applet installed, just wasnt looking for the right name in the panel. | 13:03 |
| minimec | zer_x252: I guess that modified driver is buggy, don't you think... | 13:03 |
| r3d2_ | Merry Christmas to you, M0rph1as :) | 13:03 |
| m0rph1as | thank you. | 13:04 |
| zer_x252 | christmas is off-top :P | 13:04 |
| Daughain | Hmmmm....ust remembered, I removed the fan cover to see how much difference that made... | 13:04 |
| zer_x252 | jk | 13:04 |
| zer_x252 | Merry christmas | 13:04 |
| r3d2_ | lol zer | 13:04 |
| vfen | merry xmas | 13:04 |
| m0rph1as | lol | 13:04 |
| r3d2_ | Merry christmas to ANYONE who's faught linux, and WON! :) | 13:05 |
| m0rph1as | haha. i installed 10.04 for my gift :-P | 13:05 |
| zer_x252 | r3d2_: Oh, i see how it is, just because I'm cowering in defeat... | 13:05 |
| digitalchemist | !ot | bah-humbug | 13:05 |
| ubottu | bah-humbug: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:05 |
| r3d2_ | lol zer ;) | 13:05 |
| digitalchemist | humor is off-topic ... bad robots! | 13:06 |
| zer_x252 | r3d2_: still the weirdest issue I've seen in linux, and I've been toying with this OS for almost 10 years >< | 13:06 |
| zer_x252 | not as weird as compiz not supporting xdamage properly though >< | 13:06 |
| r3d2_ | Zer - I think Windows 7 is the best OS over, just because I don't have to constantly fix my wife's computer. | 13:07 |
| bazhang | !ot | 13:07 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:07 |
| r3d2_ | I think that classifies as a loss, too | 13:07 |
| AnirbanHazra | can anyone give the sources.list file for Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS for server residing in USA. | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | r3d2_: i dont care what OS my wife uses.. she can crash a toaster oven | 13:07 |
| r3d2_ | Not to self: Don't buy your wife a laptop if you don't want to spend your life fixing it. | 13:08 |
| ortsvorsteher | !sources.list | AnirbanHazra | 13:08 |
| ubottu | AnirbanHazra: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 13:08 |

| r3d2_ | Dr_Willis, my wife must know yours, they're good like that... | 13:08 |
| adsflhsf | Hello! Is there a gethost () on UDP datagrams ?? | 13:08 |
| adsflhsf | to know the server IP ?? | 13:09 |
| zer_x252 | adsflhsf what exactly have you been trying to do? | 13:09 |
| adsflhsf | i havent fully understood the UDP way to work !! | 13:09 |
| imaginativeone | wives & computers - yet another item that feminism doesn't address | 13:09 |
| adsflhsf | maybe i should read few googles first. | 13:09 |
| zer_x252 | well, I'm going to reinstall tomorrow, just after I finally finished "converting" from ntfs to ext3 on my 4tb raid array | 13:09 |
| adsflhsf | im on a Java applet with datagrams. | 13:10 |
| adsflhsf | is there a way to know the host IP with UDP datagrams ?? | 13:10 |
| r3d2_ | zer - nice, don't hold your breath.. | 13:10 |
| adsflhsf | or should i insert host ip on a code ?? | 13:10 |
| adsflhsf | *client code ?? | 13:10 |
| zer_x252 | gnight everyone, I need to get some sleep | 13:11 |
| AnirbanHazra | ortsvorsteher: I only have shell access . | 13:11 |
| r3d2_ | It's a myth that linux monkeys have no taste in music - what are you listening to? ( and if it isn't Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, why not? ;) ) | 13:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | AnirbanHazra, and you dont have a browser on your client pc? | 13:12 |
| AnirbanHazra | ortsvorsteher: No , is this fine ? https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/sample/sources.list ?? | 13:13 |
| phako | hi. How can I hook up to the ACPI undock event? | 13:13 |
| ortsvorsteher | AnirbanHazra, yes, i think this will be fine | 13:13 |
| r3d2_ | A mate of mine bought ten copies of Mumford and Sons for his music xmas presents, and it's a good album, but I still would have gone w/ Phoenix | 13:13 |
| sixtila | my unetbootin says no flash drive- format it as FAT32 - but it is already in FAT32 | 13:15 |
| joshyfluff | Hai all :D | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | sixtila: be sure its looking at the right drive. | 13:18 |
| sixtila | i think i better use USB creator | 13:18 |
| sixtila | thanks | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | sixtila: if you want a peristant save file - yes. Use usb-creator | 13:19 |
| joshyfluff | Can anyone help me with my wacom bamboo issues? I tried a tutorial referring to the use of xorg.conf, but mines empty and I had to usb boot it to remove the stuff from it cause it screwed it up ;~; | 13:19 |
| joshyfluff | It turns out that I need a xorg.conf ; ; | 13:21 |
| r3d2_ | Joshy - If I knew what the hell a wacom bamboo was - you KNOW I'd be the man to help you out. It's gonna be a tablet, right? | 13:21 |
| joshyfluff | Its a tablet, yeah | 13:21 |
| joshyfluff | Whoops, forgot to say it was a tablet earlier, sorry ^^' | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | joshyfluff: you did check for ubuntu 9.10 specific guides? xorg.conf is rather minima these days | 13:21 |
| joshyfluff | I did, yes | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Minimal. :) | 13:21 |
| joshyfluff | I followed the tutorial and it turns out that his build has it, but mine doesn't D: | 13:22 |
| jacob_ | Sorry i know this isnt' the rigth place for the post...but does anyone know if there is a IRC for Wine? | 13:22 |
| lstarnes | jacob_: you mean an irc channel? try #winehq on this network | 13:22 |
| joshyfluff | Google IRC Windows ^^ | 13:22 |
| joshyfluff | Oh | 13:22 |
| jacob_ | lstarnes: ty | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | joshyfluff: tell the chennal what guide you followed. | 13:23 |
| simplexio | jacob_: and why would you want run ric client in wine if there are many native irc apps for linux? | 13:24 |
| joshyfluff | http://audiophysical.squarespace.com/blog/2009/1/6/using-bamboo-wacom-in-ubuntu-is-a-12-step-program.html | 13:24 |
| joshyfluff | My mistake, he is on 8.04, I think | 13:24 |
| simplexio | uh.. and names probably went wrong | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | joshyfluff: check http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1363027 yet? | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | 8.04? that may make it much harder | 13:24 |
| joshyfluff | I checked that, yeah | 13:25 |
| joshyfluff | I installed all 3 of those, trying it ewach time and none of them work | 13:25 |
| joshyfluff | each* | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | There were some large changes in how xorg.conf is from 8.04 to 9.10 | 13:25 |
| jacob_ | simplexio: i recently deleted my windows partition..and the only thing i used it for was world of warcraft...so to my knowledge without paying wine is the best at running it | 13:25 |
| joshyfluff | When I run xsetwacom list, no listing is listed ; ; | 13:26 |
| joshyfluff | But no errors come up either | 13:26 |
| joshyfluff | Then again, it sees my webcam as a keyboard | 13:27 |
| dreamy | is there any channel to chat about anything related to linux and sound, besides ubuntu-studio? | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | its a multi function device i imagine. Keyboard/mouse/and other. | 13:29 |
| joshyfluff | Its one of those 3D ones, it has 2 cameras in it C: | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | egads... | 13:30 |
| joshyfluff | But yeah, nothing seems to be working for me tablet wise ._. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | what next.. smell-o-vision? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 13:30 |
| jacob_ | sorry been a while since i used smuxi...how to you change to a different channel? | 13:30 |
| sixtila2 | booting from usbcreator , asks for a password- any idea? | 13:31 |

| clepto | and if they knew i was running linux on it they would kill me | 13:56 |
| mmarc__ | what do we have in evolution about M$ Exchange 2007 support? Looks like evolution-api is not solving the problem. | 13:56 |
| mmarc__ | "The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only." | 13:56 |
| r3d2_ | Sorry. Got excited. | 13:56 |
| clepto | sadly its my work laptop | 13:57 |
| bazhang | clepto, windows 7 has a strange 100mb bootloader it installs, is this a fresh ubuntu install? | 13:57 |
| clepto | and if they knew i was running linux on it they would kill me | 13:57 |
| clepto | no | 13:57 |
| clepto | its a fresh windows 7 install | 13:57 |
| clepto | i already had ubuntu and vista on it | 13:58 |
| clepto | but i had to delete the vista partition and install windows 7 over it | 13:58 |
| bazhang | clepto, what version of ubuntu | 13:58 |
| clepto | 9.10 | 13:58 |
| bazhang | clepto, did you upgrade or fresh install (ie is it grub2) | 13:58 |
| clepto | yes its grub2 | 13:58 |
| tolpico | bazhang, thanks, yes its really helpful, but we need to enter the exact name we are looking for, in some cases when we don't exact command, is tehre a keyword tool which displays approximate results for what we are searching? | 13:58 |
| bazhang | clepto, should be sudo update-grub to fix it | 13:59 |

| silver | redonkulous have you tried a sudo grub-mkconfig? | 14:14 |

| redonkulous | and makes the option to boot to it | 14:15 |
| redonkulous | but it doesn't boot to it | 14:15 |
| redonkulous | alright haresh, go into a partition editor and see if you can find your mp3 player in there | 14:16 |
| redonkulous | if you can then it is connected and it is just a matter of finding where it is | 14:16 |
| haresh | how do i go there ?? | 14:16 |
| Psinetic | so uh i guess out of the nearly 2200 people in this irc not a single one has any idea what ubuntuCE is and how to fix errors itgets? | 14:17 |
| silver | redonkulous first try the grub-mkconfig, if this doesn't help put in your windows disk and do a fixmbr fixboot ...then windows will overwrite grub ...after that you have to install grub again via live-cd | 14:17 |
| redonkulous | yeah I was hoping I wouldn't have to redo the mbr | 14:18 |
| redonkulous | I did try the fixboot | 14:18 |
| haresh | please guide me thanks | 14:18 |
| redonkulous | I jsut did a mkconfig so I'll try that | 14:18 |

| acicula | ionut: its stored in .bash_history | 15:05 |
| arniokas | dahlerus it should be NF, not NR | 15:05 |
| ionut | acicula: and from terminal can i cancel it ? | 15:05 |
| dahlerus | arniokas: cat /etc/services | awk '{ print NF}' | 15:05 |
| acicula | ionut: mind you the current session is updated on shell exit | 15:05 |
| Oasa | yrah.. so wats d prob?? | 15:05 |
| acicula | ionut: so if you never want to log consider linking it to /dev/null or something | 15:05 |
| acicula | ionut: its a file | 15:05 |
| ionut | acicula: i got it. so how can i cancel it ? | 15:06 |
| acicula | ionut: you remove it? | 15:06 |
| ionut | the log isn't stored in localhost | 15:06 |
| r3d2_ | Any of you want to go halves on a XBLA game - C# almost a must, a good head on your shoulders far more important. | 15:06 |
| ionut | acicula: i want to remove it | 15:06 |
| arniokas | dahlerus and how do i do it without pipe, using filepath` | 15:06 |
| arniokas | ? | 15:06 |

| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

| Sahkolihaa | You can't copy the iso directly - you'd have to extract it's contents to the USB drive. | 15:40 |
| joshyfluff | r3d2_, In order to use trhis wacom bamboo tablet | 15:40 |
| adalal | ubunteezj: how about just copy and pasting every file? tried that? | 15:40 |

| vadi01 | with my issue above | 15:59 |
| rdeshpande | i have sun-java6-jre installed, and i have the alternatives set up, but for some reason everytime i try to install solr it tries to install gcj. any ideas? | 15:59 |
| Andre | m0rph1as: or catwalk, protools? | 15:59 |
| adalal | vadi01: let me read | 15:59 |
| m0rph1as | andre, I have used photoshop cs3 once in linux yes... | 15:59 |
| m0rph1as | but not hardcore... i mainly stick with GIMP as much as possible | 16:00 |
| Andre | m0rph1as: was it wine or emulated? | 16:00 |
| bastidrazor | vadi01: it looks like some form of conky, but i'm not sure | 16:00 |
| Oasa | adalal : if my IRDA is working fine..... I would like to make myself a remote can you help me on that? | 16:00 |
| vadi01 | bastidrazor, k thanks | 16:00 |
| adalal | vadi01: what do you mean? physical monitors? or virtual desktops? | 16:00 |
| m0rph1as | WINE... but it was a pain, needs a combination of dll files. | 16:00 |
| Andre | m0rph1as: i take it everything functioned as well as running it natively in windows then | 16:00 |
| adalal | Oasa: i can give you limited support on that, but sure | 16:00 |
| m0rph1as | for the most part yes. im just not much of a graphics designer though, did it for testing. | 16:01 |
| vadi01 | adalal: physical monitors | 16:01 |
| petsounds | vadi01, that's just screenlets | 16:01 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Where did "compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported" disappear in 9.10 ? | 16:01 |
| vadi01 | petsounds, thanks! | 16:02 |
| Oasa | okay adalal can i have your email id. | 16:02 |
| r3d2_ | I'm not much of a graphic designer, but I set graphic design problems for my students. And sometimes they rock it. | 16:02 |
| r3d2_ | Supersaiyan_IV, are you unhappy with compiz in 9.10? | 16:04 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | r3d2_, no I am asking a question | 16:04 |
| r3d2_ | As was I - no worries :) | 16:05 |
| adalal | vadi01: i dont exactly understand what the problem is | 16:05 |
| vadi01 | adalal, its ok i sorted it | 16:06 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | r3d2_, i know the "compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported" is in the ppa, but there is no reason stated as to why it isn't in the repositories | 16:06 |
| adalal | vadi01: cool, what theme is that anyways? | 16:06 |
| r3d2_ | compiz has been very well behaved in 9.10 in my experience. It WILL fall over, given time, and throw all your windows to a single window, but that's not the end of the world. | 16:06 |
| Daughain | And again..... | 16:07 |
| r3d2_ | I set things back to metacity before I use a lot of Open Office because I've found that trips it up | 16:07 |
| r3d2_ | but apart from that, compiz is minty goodness. | 16:08 |
| ubunteez | thts what she said | 16:08 |
| r3d2_ | hehe | 16:08 |
| DNS777 | happy holidays @ all | 16:08 |
| ubunteez | so now i copied the iso file to the usb key | 16:08 |
| ubunteez | but now its not bootable | 16:09 |
| r3d2_ | If your bios will boot from USB | 16:09 |
| r3d2_ | Also, NO. | 16:09 |
| ubunteez | my bios will boot from it but i copied windows 7 iso to the usb directly | 16:10 |
| r3d2_ | You can't just chuck an ISO on a USB stick. You'd need to extract the contents of the iso, at minimum. | 16:10 |
| ubunteez | i didnt copy the iso i extracted it to the usb | 16:10 |
| r3d2_ | Ah, more like it :) | 16:10 |
| ubunteez | but its not bootable... does ubuntu have an app to make it bootable for the windows install? | 16:10 |
| petsounds | please use usb startup disk creator or unetbootin | 16:11 |
| vadi01 | adalal, http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/11/27/collection-of-50-best-looking-linux-gnomeubuntu-themes-to-download/ | 16:11 |
| adalal | ubunteez: as far as i'm aware, that's gonna b difficult, cuz of the way windows structures the install | 16:11 |
| adwyn | hello, and Happy Christmas everyone. Anyone know what "Bios bootup message" in Xorg.0.log refers to? | 16:11 |
| adalal | vadi01: thanks | 16:11 |
| r3d2_ | It means that you've been very naughty this year, adalal ;) | 16:11 |
| adalal | ubunteez: it helps them reduce fraud | 16:11 |
| adalal | r3d2_: how's that? | 16:11 |
| ubunteez | so i cant make the windows 7 usb key bootable from ubuntu? | 16:12 |
| adalal | r3d2_: and you know nothin of me hehehe | 16:12 |
| ubunteez | adalal, he checked your porn | 16:12 |
| adalal | ubunteez: would be one hell of a task, ur better off buying a usb cd drive | 16:12 |
| r3d2_ | adalal - just a joke. | 16:12 |
| adalal | ubunteez: sigh, if only i did, having a gf helps u know :P | 16:12 |
| adalal | dw | 16:12 |
| Daughain | anyone know where in mozilla I can find the bookmarks file? | 16:13 |
| adalal | Daughain: u mean firefox? | 16:13 |
| anonbadger | yeah a $20 usb cd drive is a work around | 16:13 |
| adalal | Daughain: it stores it as a database, under .mozilla/firefox/ ... well, that's for firefox | 16:13 |
| r3d2_ | Daughain - just export 'em as .json | 16:14 |
| Daughain | Ya, that much Iknow, which file is it? =) | 16:14 |
| r3d2_ | ~/.mozilla/firefox | 16:14 |
| poseidon | thinking of getting one of these http://tinyurl.com/ygdtrs2 | 16:14 |
| poseidon | any opinions? | 16:15 |
| adalal | Daughain: if you want backups, firefox creates them under .mozilla/firefox/<profile>/bookmarkbackups/ | 16:15 |
| r3d2_ | Yes - don't. | 16:15 |
| r3d2_ | URL shorteners are the beginning of the end. | 16:15 |
| ubunteez | damn this sucks | 16:15 |
| r3d2_ | As soon as your URL shortener of choices dies - all your links die. | 16:15 |
| adalal | lol they are, why bother with them? unless you're tryin to really hide something | 16:15 |
| adalal | ubunteez: look up if they have usb image torrents of win 7 im sure people have it out there | 16:16 |
| r3d2_ | It's BITROT - don't do it. | 16:16 |
| Snausages | r3d2_: for fun I was working on a script that would put an url through a chain of those, just to see how many redirects was enough | 16:16 |
| ubunteez | adalal, what if i install windows 7 on a virtual box and create the usb key fro mthere? | 16:16 |
| r3d2_ | lol Snausages | 16:16 |
| r3d2_ | How far did it go? | 16:16 |
| Snausages | r3d2_: different browsers did it different ways... firefox would hold it through 8 or 9 | 16:16 |
| ubunteez | are the usb keys on a virtual box read the same way? | 16:17 |
| adalal | ubunteez: not a bad plan at all, but best of luck spending the next 2 hours doing that | 16:17 |
| ubunteez | lol | 16:17 |
| ubunteez | no choice for the momenty | 16:17 |
| ubunteez | thanks for the help | 16:17 |
| adalal | or longer .. much much longer | 16:17 |
| adalal | yeah | 16:17 |
| Snausages | r3d2_: plus bonus wear leveling on the urls... they would run out of short urls at the same rate | 16:17 |
| r3d2_ | Snausages, I applaud your curiosity :) But damn! That would break super-soon :) | 16:17 |
| Snausages | r3d2_: perfect for the most sensitive information.... makes people get it while it's hot | 16:18 |
| r3d2_ | I don't know enough about url-shortener time-outs... 8 characters is, 8 factorial, so quite a bit | 16:19 |
| adalal | lol, much more than 8! | 16:20 |
| r3d2_ | I've read a bit about the coming bit-rot apocolypse, and I don't agree, | 16:20 |
| r3d2_ | No, 8!, that's how many digits exist to work with. Math is math. | 16:20 |
| === dicht_away is now known as dichtbijzee | ||
| adalal | well, that's assuming 8! are only numericals.. | 16:21 |
| r3d2_ | You have to use the alphabet | 16:21 |
| adalal | they can be any characters :S | 16:21 |
| r3d2_ | I see what you meant | 16:21 |
| adalal | ah | 16:21 |
| r3d2_ | Yup - get ya | 16:22 |
| r3d2_ | So, 36 characters (0 to 9, A to Z) - now assume you have 8 characters, from the prev, that would be.... | 16:23 |
| r3d2_ | I have no idea, I can only work out percentages for each character | 16:24 |
| r3d2_ | I was never as good at math as I wanted to be, and it'd been 18 years since I practiced. | 16:25 |
| anonbadger | working out unique combos? | 16:25 |
| === mike is now known as Guest10261 | ||
| r3d2_ | I can break it up, chance by chance simple - I'm no good for anything more than that. | 16:26 |
| adalal | yup | 16:26 |
| airstrike | so, for some reason, whenever i set a static ip (instead of dhcp) on my network manager, i get VERY slow DNS lookups. what gives? | 16:26 |
| adalal | for a 8 character code, it'd b 36^8 | 16:26 |
| r3d2_ | airstrike - I changed my DNS the other day by choice. | 16:27 |
| Joe__ | need some help with an upgrade to 9.10 I use mdadm and now two of my arrarys won't activate after the upgrade | 16:27 |
| Daughain | So much for that......Now on to samba...... | 16:27 |
| adalal | talking of which, which dns would you suggest? | 16:27 |
| Joe__ | mdadm -As says no devices found for both of them | 16:27 |
| airstrike | r3d2_: i've tried different servers, but they are all still very slow | 16:27 |

| comatoast | :[ | 16:27 |

| airstrike | r3d2_: I've tried OpenDNS, Google, and my ISP.. | 16:28 |
| === comatoast is now known as Derp | ||
| r3d2_ | I ran a program called netstrike or something, and it checks all the DNS servers around you, and picks the best - you can then use the fastest DNS, or not. | 16:28 |
| stygian | hm | 16:28 |
| adalal | kain_: plug it in, and turn on rhythmbox | 16:28 |
| kain_ | k i'll try | 16:28 |
| airstrike | r3d2_: i'll try that | 16:28 |
| zauk | can someone link me to yesterday's log of this channel? I can't seem to find it. | 16:28 |

| r3d2_ | airstrike - this is a long url - I hope I don't get kicked: | 16:29 |

| Snausages | r3d2_: both of my usb modems worked perfectly on karmic- I was impressed. | 16:39 |

| anonbadger | so come back if it doesn't work | 16:41 |
| AlexIte | Who here used wubi to install ubuntu? | 16:41 |
| adalal | i used it on my gf's laptop when she wanted to try it out | 16:41 |
| Daughain | Which is better to deal with an existing windows network; samba or samba4? | 16:41 |
| Daughain | Whats wubi? | 16:41 |
| m4rtin | AlexIte: I used it about a year ago when I first tentatively switched to Ubuntu | 16:41 |
| Andre | Daughain: installs ubuntu from windows | 16:42 |
| AlexIte | Windows ubuntu isntall basically | 16:42 |
| adalal | wubi allows u to install ubuntu in windows | 16:42 |
| r3d2_ | I installed from disk. On day 1. Yes, I'm both useless and gay | 16:42 |
| sixtila | can anyone help me get my sound back - i dunno where to start | 16:42 |
| r3d2_ | Apart from the gay bit. | 16:42 |
| adalal | and when u start up the computer, it uses the windows start up, and loops into the ubuntu image | 16:42 |
| sixtila | i m on 64bit | 16:42 |
| AlexIte | I used ubuntu when i was testing out ubuntu | 16:42 |
| Daughain | Ah.....Nope, got pissed at windows and wiped the drive.......Never tried that. | 16:42 |
| r3d2_ | 64bit ftw | 16:42 |
| kasimon | Hi. How can I install ubuntu on an System I have no keyboard for? | 16:42 |
| r3d2_ | I've got 4GB of RAM - unsurprisingly, I'd like to use it. | 16:43 |
| AlexIte | Go and get a keyboard? | 16:43 |
| anonbadger | I installed Ubuntu alongside windows and then one day decided to dd the windows partition | 16:43 |
| adalal | kasimon: get a usb keyboard? put in the alternative install disc, and choose install over ssh?> | 16:43 |
| AlexIte | I need WINDOWS to run certain things | 16:43 |
| Daughain | Any advice on samba? | 16:43 |
| anonbadger | dd if/dev/urandom | 16:43 |
| adalal | anonbadger: the only reason why i have to keep my win7 partition is cuz i use proprietory software, and they only have windows version of it | 16:43 |
| adalal | and it doesn't work on wine either... | 16:43 |
| sixtila | need help to get the sound back, | 16:43 |
| AlexIte | adalal:same here | 16:43 |
| r3d2_ | I run a VirtualBox copy of XP to run certain things. | 16:43 |
| adalal | lol, would work as long as the software isn't cpu intensive | 16:44 |
| kasimon | AlexIte, adalal: I don't want to wait till monday. All shops are closed. I'm thinking about modifying the usb alternate installer to launch an ssh server | 16:44 |
| jacob_ | Yea virtualbox is the way to go as long as its not a big program | 16:44 |
| anonbadger | I have never played with virtualisation | 16:44 |
| r3d2_ | My virtual box HD has grown to 21GB - and you can't resize it down | 16:44 |
| AlexIte | the games wont work/would be laggy | 16:44 |
| r3d2_ | Oh well | 16:45 |
| madagascar27 | is there an easy way to delete a partition you made with ubuntu | 16:45 |
| sixtila | i have no sound, should i install alsa or pulse ? | 16:45 |
| Daughain | Alsa. | 16:45 |
| anonbadger | oh man r3d2_ that's shit | 16:45 |
| adalal | well kasimon, take out the HD... plug it into ur current computer, install it, and move the HD back | 16:45 |
| AlexIte | LOL right beside be is a ubuntu 9.04 CD | 16:45 |
| sixtila | madagascar27 use gparted , download it | 16:45 |
| r3d2_ | anonbadger, ORLY? :) | 16:45 |
| anonbadger | someone help sixtila | 16:45 |
| jacob_ | madagascar27: use gparted or boot from ubuntu disk | 16:45 |
| anonbadger | It is relevant tomy interests | 16:46 |
| madagascar27 | sixtila what do i do with gparted do i put it on a disk | 16:46 |
| r3d2_ | sixtila, whatever works - I'd go with alsa first | 16:46 |
| kasimon | adalal: that might be an option. both are sata systems,so it should work | 16:46 |
| adalal | kasimon: just remember to install a ssh server, and if you're doing that, might as well only install the barebone version | 16:47 |
| AlexIte | The first time I used ubuntu,I gave up because i couldn't get the internet to work =( | 16:47 |
| airstrike | madagascar27: you can just run gparted from a live cd, it's probably your best bet (if you can't run it within the actual OS, that is) | 16:47 |
| r3d2_ | anonbadger, here's some music: http://r3dux.org/2009/10/phoenix-rome/ | 16:47 |
| adalal | AlexIte: that's the reason i stuck to it, and solved it : | 16:47 |
| adalal | :P | 16:47 |
| Daughain | Can anyone tel me simply what the difference tween samba and samba4 is? | 16:47 |
| kasimon | adalal: the system is supposed to run as a headless vdr system, so I'll use alternate install anyways | 16:47 |
| airstrike | madagascar27: you could also try one of those very small linux distros that can fit on an usb stick and run gparted from it | 16:47 |
| r3d2_ | Addict till it fall fall falls..... | 16:48 |
| AlexIte | There are some Linux Distros that work on a floppy disk | 16:48 |
| anonbadger | r3d2_: I have no sound | 16:48 |
| r3d2_ | Not anymore there aren't. | 16:48 |
| anonbadger | I think I might need to disable my modem driver | 16:48 |
| adalal | well, the bareback version of ubuntu is only 12mb ... | 16:48 |
| airstrike | usb stick > floppy | 16:48 |
| adalal | that'd go well on a floppy | 16:48 |
| Daughain | anonbadger, Try alsa. | 16:48 |
| kasimon | adalal: It's the first system I've encountered that doesn't have an ps2 keyboard connector | 16:48 |
| AlexIte | I dont have anymore floppies | 16:48 |
| sixtila | anyone having problem with software enter in 64bit?? | 16:48 |
| ManDay | AUTOMOUNT! | 16:49 |
| r3d2_ | F*ck floppys - are you kidding? What you you want to do with a floppy disk? | 16:49 |
| airstrike | sixtila: is 'enter' the name of the software? | 16:49 |
| sixtila | AlexIte I just installed ubuntu from flash drive! | 16:49 |
| anonbadger | Daughain: I have tried alsa | 16:49 |
| adalal | kasimon: most new systems dont ahve it anymore, they all start using usb only | 16:49 |
| ManDay | Why does it not work? | 16:49 |
| sixtila | haha, its center | 16:49 |
| ManDay | Whenever I plug in a USB stick or SD card, NOTHING happens... | 16:49 |
| Daughain | sixtila, make sure your net connection is working, and update your sources. | 16:49 |
| myk_robinson | Hey. If i use Firestarter to share an internet connection to my Xbox 360, will i need a crossover cable, or just a standard ethernet cable between the ubuntu PC and the xbox? | 16:49 |
| AlexIte | I am paranoid about adding important information on usbs | 16:49 |
| sixtila | Daughain i will update and see what happens | 16:49 |
| Joe__ | ok, I'm running out of ideas... for some reason after upgrading to 9.10 ubuntu won't mount my mdadm made arrays. It appears /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are not mounted at all (those are two drives in one of the arrays) | 16:50 |
| adalal | myk_robinson: normally a crossover, but most newer ethernet ports have detectors that switch over automatically | 16:50 |
| r3d2_ | myk - you can share through youre router | 16:50 |
| Daughain | anonbadger, I dunno, then.....With 9.04 I had to tinkwer with alsa to get my sound working. 9.10 I didnt have that issue. | 16:50 |
| anonbadger | yeah i have 9.04 on three machines | 16:50 |
| AlexIte | 8.10 my sound wouldn't work I had to do something,i cant remember right now | 16:50 |
| anonbadger | this is the first to have the issue | 16:50 |
| myk_robinson | r3d2_: my router is not close enough without having a very long cable. Just being cheap and not buying a 360 wireless adatper. I have a PC attached to the tv for media | 16:51 |

| Daughain | r2d2; ok, so, which is better for an exosting windows network; samba or samba4? | 16:53 |
| karp_ | anyone got problems on 9.10 with VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] and quakelive / cedega gaming? i can play for a couple of minutes before my games start to run slow and theres a weird noise coming from the hdd | 16:53 |
| r3d2_ | myk - you'd need ethernet to your 360, the wireless 360 kit is rip off - it's stupid expensive | 16:53 |
| Daughain | r3d2_; ok, so, which is better for an exosting windows network; samba or samba4? | 16:53 |
| r3d2_ | Best to wire it via cat5 | 16:53 |
| r3d2_ | I have no idea - I've only used samba and cifs - both work fine to stream music and films | 16:54 |
| adalal | samba4 is a version of samba | 16:54 |
| adalal | and installing samba should install samba4 | 16:54 |
| mobi-sheep | Daughain: Any sentences with "Windows" in it is a failed sentence. I'd guess Samba instead man page say Samba4 is intended for *nixes. is | 16:54 |
| r3d2_ | I've not used samba4 | 16:54 |

| nlko | does ubuntu support marvel yukon wireless cards out of the box? debian doesnt seem to | 16:55 |
| Daughain | adalal, Instaling samba doesnt install samba4, thats why I was asking about it. | 16:55 |

| totam | how can we know the admin of a channel in irc | 16:56 |
| totam | 16:56 | |
| doug__ | hello, I have an atheros wireless card and i can't see my network. I see other networks just not mine. It works on my ps3 and my windows machine. when i go to hardware drivers there aren't any proprietary drivers there, and all the google searches i've done have mentioned those, how can i get those? | 16:56 |
| bastidrazor | mobi-sheep: great minds think alike | 16:56 |
| adalal | totam: why theinterest? | 16:56 |
| adalal | doug__: does it show up using sudo iwlist <interface> scanning? | 16:57 |
| totam | @adalal, because it s important | 16:57 |
| totam | if we want to demand something | 16:57 |
| totam | we demand to the admin | 16:57 |
| doug__ | it doesn't look l;ike it.. | 16:57 |
| r3d2_ | I have a atheros wireless card. THIS is your key. google atheros wireless card driver. Google atheros wireless driver undeground while I'm being a neusance to sheep. | 16:57 |
| mobi-sheep | totam: Look at User List. Ops are usually on top and have special character/icon in front of their nicknames. | 16:57 |
| adalal | like floodbot has op privs | 16:58 |
| totam | mobi-sheep: thx, but, it s one, or can be more than wan admin & op | 16:59 |
| r3d2_ | I have a common make of wireless network card, but for the life of me I can't be bothered to look up any problems I have! | 16:59 |
| r3d2_ | Sheesh! | 16:59 |
| jessica_ | hi, my laptop has an ATI RS690M video card, which is i guess a Radeon X1200. but the restricted drivers manager doesn't show fglrx as an option. | 16:59 |
| anonbadger | I can only choose pulse null output in sound preferences. Ghey. | 16:59 |
| doug__ | I have looked them up, and i am only finding windows drivers | 16:59 |
| jessica_ | does it make sense that i force-install fglrx? | 16:59 |
| bastidrazor | jessica_: which version of ubuntu? | 16:59 |
| adalal | jessica_: does it show any thing else? | 16:59 |
| totam | mobi-sheep: for exemple in this room, who is the admin | 16:59 |
| jessica_ | bastidrazor, latest, 64 bit too | 16:59 |
| jessica_ | 9.10 i think? | 16:59 |
| jessica_ | just installed this morning. | 16:59 |
| r3d2_ | I would like you to help me with my common brand of wireless card, which might or might not work with ubuntu. Not that I care. | 16:59 |
| anonbadger | jessica run uname -a | 17:00 |
| Daughain | ANd now to see if I remembered this right... =) | 17:00 |
| bastidrazor | jessica_: it should be installed without any user interaction. i have the same card and all works fine without any doing on my part | 17:00 |
| ManDay | adalal, no but it shows up in /dev | 17:00 |
| adalal | totam: no admins present in this room right now... from the looks of it | 17:00 |

| adalal | jessica_: as long as u dont mind reinstalling, try fglrx | 17:01 |
| r3d2_ | Oh man, that was fun :) | 17:01 |

| Edico | how do I see all the user that are created? | 17:01 |
| bastidrazor | jessica_: not really. 9.10 was suppose to be the big fix for most ati cards | 17:01 |
| adalal | ManDay: what does it show up as, sdb or sdc? | 17:02 |
| Joe__ | please a little help, or at least point me where to look... I upgraded to 9.10 and after reboot my mdadm arrays won't assemble, mdadm says device or resource busy | 17:02 |
| karp_ | is there any way to upgrade to 10.04 from repos? | 17:02 |
| r3d2_ | I know that if I ever really do have an issue I can't resolve - I'm F**d - but it was worth it :) | 17:02 |
| bastidrazor | jessica_: right, you don't have an option for the video card because its already done. | 17:02 |
| ManDay | adalal, the sdcard as sdb | 17:02 |
| ManDay | the stick a sdbc | 17:02 |
| adalal | karp_: it's not out yet | 17:02 |

| karp_ | adalal, i know | 17:02 |

| adalal | ManDay: create a folder under /media, using 'sudo mkdir /media/sdcard/' .. and then use 'sudo mount /dev/sdb/ /media/dscard/' and see if it works | 17:03 |
| nastas | run uname -a in a terminal | 17:03 |
| nastas | pompa_: run uname -a in a terminal | 17:03 |

| ManDay | adalal, it works | 17:03 |
| adalal | karp_: when it does come out, yes.. u can from the update manager, or via terminal | 17:03 |
| ManDay | it can be mounted | 17:03 |

| adalal | Bias112: install grub | 17:12 |
| pompa_ | nastas: I suppose that upgrading I lost all of the drivers or something like that for many things | 17:12 |
| petsounds | isolat3dsh33p, #ubuntu-id is no longer maintained. | 17:12 |
| Bias112 | maybe it is just easier to unintall wubi and do it again? | 17:12 |

| isolat3dsh33p | petsounds: why? | 17:12 |

| kathy | maybe the c3000 | 17:33 |
| kathy | thanks a lot | 17:33 |
| pompa_ | nastas: that's no good, what should I do? | 17:33 |
| nastas | pompa_: you have to make it to autoload during boot | 17:33 |
| airtonix | kathy, doe it only connect via usb? or can it connect via lan cable? | 17:33 |
| nastas | pompa_: try to reboot first | 17:33 |

| mori_ | ddelony: havent messed w/ Python much - i work in sysadministration so command line perl is essential | 17:37 |
| bain | How do I redirect output from a program that is not stderr or stdout ? | 17:37 |
| pompa_ | nastas: to start up the system I have to choose the 24-25 kernel in grub, because the default choice is the 24-26 (or something like that) and it doesn't work at all | 17:37 |
| ddelony | bain: I think it's 2>&1 | 17:38 |
| pompa_ | nastas: that's why I initially ask if it would be possiblew to downgrade | 17:38 |
| nastas | pompa_: ok choose the working kernel | 17:38 |
| bain | ddelony: the output is not stdout or stderr so redirecting like that won't help | 17:38 |

| pompa_ | nastas: it says that there are 545 packages not updated | 17:47 |
| bastid_raZor | mori_: if you're using the partition for your OS .. that you are on now. it is impossible to umount a working partition | 17:48 |
| mkquist_ | bastid_raZor: hes on live cd | 17:48 |

| nastas | pompa_: still there? | 17:54 |
| tmcc | i cant access the router because the router has a timeout with every wront passwort attemp | 17:54 |
| airtonix | chadi, because you need to insert it into your startup applications list. | 17:54 |
| pompa_ | nastas: starting up -> ubuntu logo+progress bar -> error: gave up waiting for root device. common problems: -boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) ...it continues | 17:55 |
| tmcc | re | 17:55 |
| iceroot | tmcc: dhcpdump | 17:55 |
| usamahashimi | atleast how much watt ups i should buy to provide power to my pc (cpu and lcd) for 90 mins? | 17:55 |
| airtonix | chadi, alternatively you can use the "remember currently running application" button under the options tab of startup applications preferences widget | 17:55 |
| iceroot | tmcc: its sniffing the whole traffic related to dhcp on a network | 17:55 |
| tmcc | thx iceroot my prob is that i have to bann the user cause if he is fast enough a reset wont help | 17:56 |
| chadi | airtonix but I don't remember doing that on my current machine | 17:56 |
| iceroot | tmcc: and how to ban him? | 17:56 |
| mori_ | hmmm i broke it | 17:57 |
| mori_ | Grub Error 22 | 17:57 |
| airtonix | chadi, and ? your current machine = the machine on which compiz is not running at login ? | 17:57 |
| Joe__ | does anyone here know lvm? | 17:57 |
| tmcc | iceroot, i think i was my mistake .. cause i think there is a chanche to configure the router to do not accept connection to port 80 from the internet | 17:57 |
| iceroot | !lvm | Joe__ | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Joe__: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 17:57 |
| cybrhuman | is there someone who can point me to a tutorial for network setup from command line? (I've tried google, but I'm not good at seeing what is relevant) | 17:57 |
| chadi | nope, current = machine where compiz is running | 17:57 |
| alankila | usamahashimi: well, a PC usually consumes something like 200 W of electricity, and LCD could take another 50. Thus, you can estimate that to run 90 minutes for 250 W of power drain, you will need 250 * 90 * 60 joules. | 17:57 |
| mkquist | mori_: funny but I just ran gparted and have the option to resize w/ no problem. You sure the drive isn't mounted? | 17:58 |
| JoeSomebody | what is a fast easy way to listen to christmas music, anyone know a site or something? | 17:58 |
| Joe__ | if I do sudo apt-get remove lvm2 and later reinstall it, will the settings (ie devices) still work without data loss? | 17:58 |
| iceroot | tmcc: sure, block the port (read the manual from the router) | 17:58 |
| pompa_ | nastas: here it is http://pastebin.com/m390b8408 | 17:58 |
| airtonix | chadi, you might want to check that startup application widget to make sure, also do you have fusion-icon installed ? | 17:58 |
| airtonix | !info fusion-icon | chadi | 17:58 |
| ubottu | chadi: fusion-icon (source: fusion-icon): tray icon to launch and manage Compiz Fusion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.0-2 (karmic), package size 29 kB, installed size 264 kB | 17:58 |

| teachprint | Problem with installing ubuntu 9.10 on athlon machine w/windows. When install gets to partitioner, get dialog that shows "?????" then after that install stops progress, no other messages. | 17:58 |
| tmcc | iceroot, but my prob is that i cant access the router cause of the hack .. so i cant block the ip | 17:58 |
| mori_ | mkquist, yeah the drive isnt mounted | 17:58 |
| chadi | airtonix thank you, I'll check then once I get into linux :) | 17:59 |
| usamahashimi | alankila: can you refer me to some webpage which contains detailed info? | 18:00 |
| alankila | usamahashimi: no... and I am not sure what kind of machine you got, but I measured my box at one point and it was around 200 W... | 18:00 |
| JoeSomebody | only xmas station/sites i know requires internet explorer | 18:00 |
| mkquist | then u should be able to resize it... does gparted give have the option to unmount it? | 18:01 |
| JoeSomebody | or maybe it required wmp | 18:01 |
| alankila | but I usually buy lower power components | 18:01 |
| pompa_ | nastas: still there? | 18:01 |
| nastas | pompa_: it seems like it can't find the divice | 18:02 |

| Joe__ | does uninstalling lvm2 remove the configuration data for the vg groups? | 18:02 |

| auntieNeo | the wiki has instructions, but it seems to have changed with the latest version | 19:16 |
| darkside86 | until it starts back up | 19:16 |

| auntieNeo | darkside86: it's a sound server. basically it mixes sound. pulseaudio does some additional things like allow network sound | 19:18 |
| meydlo | <BinaryMan> I looking for that with google but no good solution :-/ | 19:19 |
| auntieNeo | darkside86: but difficulties arise because pulseaudio is new and a lot of old games *cough* ut2004 *cough* don't understand the api | 19:19 |

| elzoog | I don't care if INTERNALLY, Ubuntu wants to call these things something less user friendly. For all I care, Ubuntu can call them "Lin 23.23.123.5123.1" It's just when, it asks me what I want to boot to, it should say something that makes sense to ME. | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | elzoog, you can try changing it in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then doing a n update-grub , if you're on grub2 | 19:31 |

| henkpoley | xiong: did it use to work in previous a ubuntu version ? | 19:32 |
| guntbert | elzoog: why don't you read and follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ? | 19:32 |
| wotsolatsod731 | Also when I try to run a windows program disc with wine I get : Access denied | 19:32 |

| Alan502 | Hi :) I reinstalled grub but the menu is not correctly displayed, how to fix it? | 19:33 |
| mka | elzoog, yeah I agree it's less user friendly | 19:33 |

| padi999 | ?? | 19:33 |
| henkpoley | xiong: also, the menu system grabs data from the menu of different desktops, could it be that these items are of of a specific desktop environment? like KDE or something ? | 19:33 |
| padi999 | where are the 2 hours from? | 19:34 |
| elzoog | I hope they upgrade grub2 so that all you have to do is change an entry in a text file to do that. | 19:34 |
| aleko | :) | 19:34 |
| mkquist_ | Alan502: 9.10? | 19:34 |
| mka | elzoog, guntbert, adalal, I guess the grub2 howto/guide needs to be re-written again | 19:34 |
| guntbert | elzoog: and why didn't you follow them? changeing an entry should not be more complicated than removing/addin one :-) | 19:34 |
| guntbert | mka: why? | 19:35 |
| mka | guntbert, it is so user unfriendly | 19:35 |
| nastas | pompa_: still there? | 19:35 |
| adalal | guntbert: i think it's a bit more annoying than adding/removign a line in grub2 | 19:35 |
| Quadrescence | How do I 'trick' the package manager into thinking it has LaTeX installed? I know this is definitely against the philosophy of package managers, but I installed a newer version of TeXLive and it should be safe to make Ubuntu think it has the proper packages installed. | 19:35 |
| elzoog | guntbert: You mean like "Entries should be removed by editing or removing files in the /etc/grub.d folder. The /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is read-only and should not normally be edited directly." | 19:35 |
| Datz | Hi, I am having a problem with my graphics card driver. I just installed my NVIDIA 6600 card, and the driver, restarted, but there is a message indicating that the card and the monitor could not be detected. Can someone help me with this? I cannot raise my screens resolution past 800x 600 | 19:35 |
| xiong | henkpoley, Quite possibly. I know that *some* of my apps are 'intended' for KDE, because they say so; in other cases I'm not sure, because there doesn't seem to be any definite discriminate. I don't really understand how an app can be one or the other, since all apps work fine under Gnome, although with different looks and feels. | 19:35 |

| ubuntunewbie | anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window | 19:42 |
| xiong | henkpoley, Okay, I have figured out this much: Battle for Wesnoth is a 'Game' but also a 'StrategyGame'; therefore it wants to display in the submenu, not in the main Games menu. But when I try to enable the Strategy submenu, this action fails (in a bizarre way); the check appears, then blinks out. | 19:42 |
| bahman | Could you tell me about running Tor with Vidalia?! | 19:42 |

| Datz | Hi, I am having a problem with my graphics card driver. I just installed my NVIDIA 6600 card, and the driver, restarted, but there is a message indicating that the card and the monitor could not be detected. Can someone help me with this? | 19:43 |
| bahman | I'm a new user, thanks adalal and ubottu | 19:43 |

| Guest10699 | i have a quick question: my f-spot opens then crashes in like .5 secs... any ideas? fresh install ubuntu 9.10 | 19:45 |
| mka | adminewb1, I guess I have to keep faith and learn again, you see, a transition from an expert to a newbie is traumatizing. We demand counselling to accompany the Grub2 HOWTO | 19:45 |
| Joe__ | Datz just go to nvidia's site, and find the right driver for your card and platform | 19:45 |
| mkquist_ | Alan502: howd you get to this point? = / | 19:45 |
| adalal | kheera: i swear.. i had a bot and i made it say thank you each time someone thanked it :P | 19:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest10699: Try opening fspot in a terminal and post the output | 19:45 |
| kheera | perfect :) | 19:45 |
| mkquist_ | Alan502: as in how did grub get messed? | 19:45 |
| bahman | I install Tor and also Vidalia but when the Vidalia start the Tor, its stop in "Loading relay information" | 19:45 |
| Datz | Joe_: thanks I'll do that | 19:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest10699: post the output in a pastebin | 19:45 |
| Guest10699 | i can do that... should i post into chat? | 19:45 |
| kheera | adalal: no if we could only program the humans to be that nice :) | 19:46 |
| adminewb1 | mka, traumatizing, for sure | 19:46 |
| Guest10699 | i have a lot to learn | 19:46 |
| Joe__ | Datz after that, hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console window (write this down, as you won't be able to come back), login and type "sudo service gdm stop" then browse to where you saved the driver (default is ~/Desktop) and type "sudo sh NVIDIA..." fill in the name, follow the prompts. When done just type "sudo service gdm start" and you should be good | 19:46 |

| X-Sleepy-X | Guest10699: It says something about the error in the end of http://pastebin.com/m247eb37e but I'm not the right person to help you with that fspot problem. | 19:51 |
| adalal | elzoog: because it will revert back when update-grub is triggered | 19:51 |
| adminewb1 | mka, the fuss over kernel versions is there so you can tell apart which kernel you're starting. kernel updates sometimes patch nasty bugs, and sometimes introduce regressions. | 19:51 |
| LiteralKa | Okay, I got out of tty, I got gdm working | 19:51 |
| Alan502 | Joe__, of course, as more cross platform programming languages become popular | 19:51 |

| mka | adminewb1, that is NOT ok. So, in simple English, there is no way to customise the entries on the GRUB2 boot loader menu? | 19:57 |
| adalal | Datz: yes... as long as ur in that folder :) | 19:57 |

| adminewb1 | mka, yes you can customize, but it's a process one doesn't undertake so lightly | 19:58 |
| mka | adalal, adminewb1, grub2 is NOT user friendly then | 19:58 |
| adalal | mka: well, not so far no.. hopefully this will change SOOON | 19:59 |
| === Jake__ is now known as Zeppelin | ||
| adalal | u can add custom entries quite easily though, mka | 19:59 |
| kheera | mka: more userfriendly than the windows alternative. | 19:59 |
| mka | kheera, we are not talking anything about windows | 19:59 |
| adminewb1 | grub2 is slightly more friendly than grub, if you're starting from the ignorance of both, in my estimation | 19:59 |
| === e-jat is now known as ejat | ||
| Autie | i need to read about grub2, its kinda different than grub | 20:00 |
| adalal | mka: you just can't edit the automatically configured entries easily | 20:00 |
| ubuntunewbie | anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window | 20:01 |
| mka | adminewb1, I rest my case. adalal, you are right. there is no straightforward way to edit the entries | 20:01 |
| jamiejackson | What app can I use to copy audio CDs in Ubuntu? Brasero is broken, ATM. | 20:02 |
| eumesmotoaki | #ubuntu | 20:02 |
| adalal | mka: like i said, to edit no.. but u can add custom ones | 20:02 |
| elzoog | admin: If gub2 is more user friendly, then how do you change the menu entry from "Windows NT/2000/XP (on /dev/sda1)" to "Windows XP Professional" | 20:02 |
| apparle | guys someone plz tell me how to put my computer to sleep... I can't find the option sleep nor suspend to RAM | 20:02 |
| adminewb1 | mka, that would beg the question of what one considers as straightforward, within the field of configuring things on Unix-like systems in general | 20:02 |
| mka | adalal, the menu is already crowded | 20:02 |
| jamiejackson | apparle: sudo pm-suspend | 20:03 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: In old grub, all I would have to do is edit the line in the menu.lst file. Since you say grub2 is more user friendly, there should be a simpler way to do that in grub2 | 20:03 |
| apparle | jamiejackson: Actually I think ubuntu thinks my MoBo doesn't support suspend to RAM | 20:03 |
| mka | adminewb1, ok I withdraw my statement about straightforwardness, but IT CANNOT BE DONE!! | 20:03 |
| Bookman | I am logged into another computer via ssh, how do I copy a file using cp command? I've read the man page, but it comes with no examples that I could find. | 20:04 |
| pepperjack | apparle: should be in your screensaver settings --> power management | 20:04 |
| pepperjack | or just system --> power management | 20:04 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, you can edit grub.cfg also, but with the understanding that your customizing can be clobbered next time an autoupdate sets up a new kernel, for instance | 20:04 |
| adalal | pepperjack: there is separate screensaver settings | 20:05 |
| apparle | pepperjack: I'll check | 20:05 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Bookman: if the file needs permissions put sudo infront of it, otherwise: cp file file-copy | 20:05 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Bookman: you could also do like this, cd /var/www and then sudo cp /home/user/file . | 20:06 |
| obaid | bookman, u are trying to copy file off the server ? | 20:06 |
| Bookman | yes | 20:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | oh i c | 20:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ;) | 20:06 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: That's another point. If they wanted to make grub2 MORE user friendly and not LESS user friendly, then why didn't they give the option of automatically replacing old kernel entries in the menu with new ones? | 20:06 |
| adminewb1 | mka, something could be done, but it might not suit your wishes for ease of use, maintainability and so forth | 20:06 |
| obaid | u could do this various ways, have u got, ftp, samba, www running on ur server ? | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | elzoog, you can edit in /boot/grub/grub.cfg , save it , then do sudo update-grub. | 20:06 |
| mka | adminewb1, that file begs you with capital letters that you should not attempt editing it | 20:07 |
| Bookman | obaid, I assume I have to ftp instead of trying to copy? | 20:07 |
| obaid | cp cannot copy cross network | 20:07 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Bookman: you can connect with nautilus | 20:07 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, not sure I understand; I thought it did just that | 20:07 |
| mka | adminewb1, I know, but nothing is done yet | 20:07 |
| Bookman | X-Sleepy-X, yes, I know that. I just thought I could from the command line | 20:08 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Bookman: yeah, scp | 20:08 |
| obaid | Bookman, u can try to use netcat to send a single file | 20:08 |
| adminewb1 | mka, I think the caps are to scare off people who are not so well informed; it can be edited, I do it often; I just do it knowing it's at my own risk | 20:08 |

| elzoog | adminewb1: In other words, instead of displaying to the user "Ubuntu, Linux generic 2.12.123123 Ubuntu, Linux generic 2.13.1232" call it "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" then when the kernel is updated, have "Ubuntu Netbook Remix" point to the generic 2.13.1232 kernel instead of the 2.12.123123 kernel. | 20:09 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: In other words INTERNALLY, keep the name of the kernel whatever user unfriendly name you want to call it. But simply change the TEXT that is displayed in the menu | 20:10 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, ok, if you're going to customize the text of the menu entries, it would be up to you to save a backup and hand-edit to clean up after autoupdates; I realize this is not a terribly satisfying answer | 20:10 |

| elzoog | adminewb1: Well, one thing I DO like about grub2, is there is an option to automatically boot to the last OS you booted to before. So if the last time you booted to Ubuntu, it will default to Ubuntu. If the last time you booted to Windows, the next time the default will be Windows. | 20:14 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, customizing the boot menu item text (without changing internal representations) means you're on the hook for keeping that in place, while the automated system of updating grub.cfg is going to clobber your changes | 20:15 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mota_: you need the inf file for the driver i believe | 20:15 |
| Datz | How can I kill X to install a driver? | 20:15 |
| adalal | Datz: on the command line | 20:15 |
| mota_ | x-sleepy-x where do I get that ? | 20:15 |
| adalal | Datz: sudo service gdm stop | 20:15 |
| Datz | that will drop me down to shell? | 20:15 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mota_: ndiswrapper uses windows drivers | 20:15 |
| adminewb1 | that's why they warn you about manual editing of grub.cfg | 20:15 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mota_: i think | 20:16 |
| DaZ | Datz: should | 20:16 |
| X-Sleepy-X | !ndiswrapper | 20:16 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:16 |
| Datz | lets try, thanks | 20:16 |
| DaZ | Datz: but, you know, the drivers are usually already in the repo :F | 20:16 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: The thing is, when most people think of booting to an OS, they think of booting to Ubuntu, not Ubuntu generic 2.18.12938 | 20:16 |
| z3rongod | Is it possible to install and use wine with ubuntu live cd ? | 20:16 |
| Datz | sudo: service: command not found DaZ | 20:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: yes | 20:17 |
| Datz | adalal ^ | 20:17 |
| z3rongod | Well i tried doing "wine isntallname.exe" | 20:17 |
| z3rongod | And said i am missing the application or something and i should do sudo apt-get | 20:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: sudo apt-get install wine | 20:17 |
| z3rongod | so i did | 20:17 |
| DaZ | Datz: sudo init 3 | 20:17 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: So if you want to make it so that PEOPLE can easily use it, you should show them what they understand. | 20:17 |
| CrocoJet | is good idea compile kernel linux-2.6.32.2 to karmic ? | 20:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: sudo apt-get install wine1.2 | 20:17 |
| z3rongod | And said it can't, i tried wine1.2 | 20:17 |
| adminewb1 | z3rongod, wine comes from a separate repository | 20:17 |
| z3rongod | and it can't either | 20:17 |
| adalal | just wine | 20:17 |
| Datz | DaZ, then run previouscommand? | 20:17 |
| DaZ | CrocoJet: do you need it? | 20:17 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: winecfg | 20:17 |
| adalal | not wine1.2 | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | winecfg ? | 20:18 |
| DaZ | Datz: no, that should do it | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | sudo apt-get install winecfg | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | ? | 20:18 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: if you have wine installed the run winecfg | 20:18 |
| DaZ | Datz: init 5 should restart x | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | ok | 20:18 |
| CrocoJet | DaZ, to get new update of gspca driver | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | How do i run it ? | 20:18 |
| Datz | DaZthanks | 20:18 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: type winecfg in terminal | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | ok | 20:18 |
| z3rongod | brb | 20:18 |
| mka | z3rongod, adminewb1, enable the universe and multiverse repositories and then do an update and then install wine | 20:18 |
| DaZ | CrocoJet: you can try [; | 20:19 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: thats just to create the folders and stuff for wine | 20:19 |
| CrocoJet | why ubuntu oficial is always delayed with last kernel version? | 20:19 |
| Datz | DaZ, sudo init 3 appears to have done nothing visible | 20:19 |
| mka | z3rongod, I could not install xchat on livecd only to find out that the universe and multiverse repositories are commented | 20:19 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, maybe I'm missing something; your gripe is with grub2, not legacy grub yes? | 20:19 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: Also, it should give you the option of deleting old kernels so that your menu doesn't end up getting cluttered up | 20:19 |
| DaZ | eh [; | 20:19 |
| sherl0ck | exit | 20:20 |
| sherl0ck | quit | 20:20 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: Yeah, with legacy grub, I would not be having so much of a problem. | 20:20 |
| DaZ | Datz: /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 20:20 |
| Datz | thanks | 20:20 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, did you want a GUI tool that simplifies the management of grub2 customizing? | 20:20 |
| mka | elzoog, good luck my friend | 20:20 |
| adalal | elzoog: you can remove all the conf file, and just use the custom one, and put in whatever u want i s'pose | 20:20 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: Does a GUI tool like that exist? | 20:20 |
| BinaryMan | elzoog: Just delete the initrd image and vmlinuz file for the older kernel from /boot | 20:21 |
| Joe__ | adalal and I win! :P | 20:21 |
| adminewb1 | elzoog, I think there is, but it may not suit everyone or be flexible enough for all purposes | 20:21 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: yeah, as mka said: go to the menu > system > administration > software sources and make sure the first 4 checboxes are checked. | 20:21 |
| adalal | niceeeeeeeee | 20:21 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: then install wine | 20:21 |
| BinaryMan | then run sudo update-grub | 20:22 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: and then the program you wish to install through wine | 20:22 |
| elzoog | adminewb1: Well, a GUI tool even if it doesn't do everything, would be better than reading confusing docs and trying to figure out which text file to edit. | 20:22 |
| adminewb1 | I'd search synaptic packages for all reference to grub | 20:22 |
| sychonaut | Hey all.. I just installed Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on an EEE pc 1005ha. I finally got the internal microphone working with sound recorder but I can not get the internal mic to work with Skype. Any suggestions? | 20:22 |
| X-Sleepy-X | z3rongod: note that what you install on in the live session may not be there when you reboot. | 20:22 |
| Duskao | Hey guys, is there any way I can set my CPU's for performance settings by default as opposed to on demand? | 20:23 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sychonaut: have you tested all the options in skype? | 20:23 |
| adminewb1 | I'd do it now, except I'm in WinXP :/ | 20:23 |
| sychonaut | X-Sleepy-X, I can only choose pulse audio. I have tried downloading the pulse audio mixer to make sure it was enabled but it did not help. | 20:24 |

| X-Sleepy-X | sry | 20:26 |
| z3rongod | ok so i've wrote it down | 20:26 |
| z3rongod | i did that command | 20:26 |
| z3rongod | The program winecfg can be found in the following packages: wine wine1.2 | 20:26 |
| z3rongod | i try sudo install apt get wine 1.2 (or however it's typed) | 20:27 |
| sychonaut | X-Sleepy-X, ok thanks. I guess trying to get skype to detect alsa would work too. just a matter of figuring out how to do that. | 20:27 |
| z3rongod | The follwoing packages have unset dependencies | 20:27 |
| adminewb1 | maybe someone here can help direct me to a better support channel: how do I find out more about IRC host / IM network interconnects? | 20:27 |
| mka | adminewb1, elzoog, I remember another GUI that claimed to make things easy for GRUB legacy, it did more harm than good, GRUB2 needs to be friendly with or without a GUI frontend. As this is a critical part of the whole OS, there should not be any excuses about this. otherwise the installation process should always ask you to choose the grub version you want to use | 20:27 |

| z3rongod | how can i apply a crack? :| | 20:40 |

| X-Sleepy-X | sounds* | 20:42 |
| mka | shilan1, if you cannot even type your username and password then the problem is at early boot stages, maybe there is some module that needs to be blacklisted | 20:42 |

| J_spot | Hi, I have a bit of problem with the network manager. A little while back I was connecting to my DSL directly (with pppoeconfig) which auto-configured my /etc/network/interfaces file. A little while ago I had to switch to using a router to give wireless access to others and I manually edited /etc/network/interfaces so I could connect to my router. The problem is that networkmanager doesn't manage my connections anymore. My network works | 20:45 |
| J_spot | just fine otherwise. Is there some way to get networkmanager working again? | 20:45 |
| meero | guntbert: this grep -iv... |less does the line breaking too :-) | 20:45 |
| mka | shilan1, you can make your system to print messages as it is starting up and note the name of the module it is loading by the time it hangs | 20:45 |
| Shawn- | x-sleepy-x it never metions a wireless card only network or ethernet | 20:46 |
| mka | shilan1, then take the name of that module to google and see if there are any issues with that module | 20:46 |
| shilan1 | mka: how ? | 20:46 |
| xiong | Does anybody have any clue about the main menu? Point me to a place to study up? Where is the starting point? | 20:46 |

| X-Sleepy-X | Shawn-: what does iwconfig tell you? | 20:47 |
| guntbert | meero: in less you can always switch by pressing S, but you can call less with -S too (grep -iv cron /var/log/auth.log | less -S) | 20:47 |
| mka | shilan1, in GRUB1 there was menu.lst and you would turn off usplash and remove the "quiet" option | 20:47 |

| guntbert | !gksudo | mka shilan1 | 20:49 |
| ubottu | mka shilan1: 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) | 20:49 |

| guntbert | meero: np | 20:50 |
| xiong | adalal, I'm uncertain about the simplest assertions here. I see three menus at the left end of the top panel; I can't remember a time when they weren't there, although now I fear I might have put them there very early in installation of the last Ubuntu version. They are 'Applications', 'Places', 'System'. I don't know if a single program generates all three, or how many are involved, or what. I'm fairly convinced that they are mes | 20:50 |
| xiong | sed up due to some bad configuration and I'd like to completely remove and reinstall them, deleting all user configuration, and just start over. | 20:50 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Shawn-: check if you can activate any networks drivers in system > administration > hardware drivers | 20:51 |
| mka | shilan1, an then the line with "kernel /vmlinuz root= ... ro quiet splash" make it like "kernel /vmlinuz root= .... ro" | 20:51 |
| n8tuser | J_spot-> the icon is an applet, look for nm | 20:51 |
| Shawn- | x-sleepy-x nope | 20:51 |
| danny | is there any recovery tool for deleted data on an ntfs partition in ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| nightfrog | guntbert: you dont need gksudo to run nano. nano isnt a gtk program | 20:51 |
| mka | shilan1, that is, remove the "splash" and "quiet" flags | 20:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Shawn-: what pc do you have? | 20:51 |
| n8tuser | danny you are out of luck on that..no recovery i know of | 20:51 |
| adalal | u can get them back | 20:52 |
| guntbert | nightfrog: yes, but he recommended gedit | 20:52 |
| adalal | xiong: | 20:52 |
| danny | oh man | 20:52 |
| xiong | adalal, I'm not even sure what I'm fighting. Are Debian and Ubuntu fighting? Are Gnome and KDE fighting? It looks like both are possible. | 20:52 |
| Shawn- | x-sleepy-x uhhh its an hp mini with an intel atom n270 I don't remember the netbook model number | 20:52 |
| n8tuser | xiong-> may as well start fresh, re-install freshly | 20:52 |
| _qUaNtUm_ | hi guys, on firefox items are not being visualized on my bookmarks toolbar: i have many of em and they dont fit in the space of my screen so usually at the end of the toolbar there's a little arrow and by clicking on it the remaining ones appear, now there's no arrow and just the sign of another bookmark, if i right click on it, itz this "bookmarks toolbar items" icon which is never been there before, i run ubuntu 8.10 with ff3 | 20:53 |
| marcelo | #join | 20:53 |

| marcelo | list | 20:53 |
| fanti | hello! i've some problems using fglrx graphics driver: new windows appears very slow when desktop effects are enabled (composite). | 20:53 |
| Shawn- | x-sleepy-x and what do I do | 20:53 |
| guntbert | xiong: those are the standard menues - you can edit them yourself: richgt click on applications/edit menues | 20:54 |
| xiong | n8tuser, That's my idea. I don't know how to do that. I'm not even sure how to search for background, how to study the issue, because I don't know what to call things. I'm floundering in detailed docs for 'XDG' without having any idea what controls menus, in a practical user sense. | 20:54 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Shawn-: sorry but i'm not sure, try to google alot on it or hang around here until you get someone who knows, perhaps join #eeepc alse | 20:54 |
| X-Sleepy-X | also* | 20:54 |
| P1R1 | Hey guys, my usb drive wont mount, and I really need the data that is inside...What can I do? | 20:54 |
| xiong | guntbert, My issue is that the standard editing procedure doesn't work properly. | 20:54 |
| dbugger | Hey guys! My ubuntu has frozen several times lately, and it seems like it always happens when Im playing video, or maybe ven playing some flash games. Wasnt supposed Linux to be freezeproof? | 20:54 |
| EsatYuce | How can i be admin in Launchpad? i typed to #Launchpad channel, but there is nobody to answer me. | 20:55 |
| guntbert | xiong: in what way? | 20:55 |
| xiong | guntbert, Rather than try to undo what is wrong, since it's difficult to describe, I'd be happy just to start *completely* over with this. Less trouble for everyone, yes? | 20:55 |
| chazco | Hi... is there any way to record the sound from an application in 9.10? | 20:55 |
| drakhan | 16gb for / is too much? given that i dont want to have o my god number of programs, window managers and dont know what more | 20:55 |
| BlouBlou | chazco: RecordMyDesktop maybe? | 20:56 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: do you have the right driver for graphics? | 20:56 |
| xiong | guntbert, That is: Totally remove everything that controls or configures those three menus and reinstall from a fresh download. | 20:56 |
| n8tuser | xiong-> pull out your livecd rom and insert then click on install | 20:56 |
| adamot | I have ubuntu Karmic Koala and I have two drives on my computer. one drive is the drive i'm booted off of and the other only contains media. everytime i boot i have to re-mount my secondary drive. how do i keep this secondary drive mounted? | 20:56 |
| n8tuser | upon boot | 20:56 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, I dont know. it all worked pretty much out of the box | 20:56 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, What should I do? | 20:56 |
| guntbert | xiong: I see - you also colud just add a new user | 20:56 |
| xiong | n8tuser, That is more extreme even than I want to get into. I don't want to do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu if I can help it. | 20:57 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: you can enable compiz? | 20:57 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, I am using compiz | 20:57 |
| xiong | guntbert, I have already located what is supposed to be the config dir for the menus and deleted it, without luck. This is, perhaps, not a user issue. | 20:57 |
| X-Sleepy-X | bbl | 20:57 |
| oCean_ | adamot: adding entry in /etc/fstab will mount the second driver every boot. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 20:58 |
| xiong | I'm going to switch quickly to Guest and see what I see there. | 20:58 |
| ghost | Hi | 20:58 |
| Damian | hello | 20:58 |
| === ghost is now known as Guest59797 | ||
| EsatYuce | How can i be admin in Launchpad? i typed to #Launchpad channel, but there is nobody to answer me. | 20:58 |
| Guest59797 | Anybody have a list of Ubuntu based Distros that are for old computers? | 20:58 |
| n8tuser | xiong-> your choice, fiddle with the configs til your hair turn white or just bit it, and re-install freshly | 20:58 |
| Guest59797 | I need lite-weight ones | 20:58 |
| adamot | oCean: I am really new to Ubuntu, do you think you could explain how to do that? | 20:59 |
| ania_ | hello can somebody help me with sound?? | 20:59 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, What does compiz has to do with it? | 20:59 |
| shilan1 | mka: i have more than line like "kernel /vmlinuz root= ... ro quiet splash" all of them should change? | 20:59 |
| Damian | Guest59797 - I would recommend CrunchBang | 20:59 |
| n8tuser | adamot-> can you try to pick up a book on linux? perhaps a little time reading those and practice would help you.. i know it takes time | 21:00 |
| adamot | n8tuser haha okay | 21:00 |
| Guest59797 | it wont install | 21:00 |
| mka | no change the one of the kernel you are booting (probably the latest version) | 21:00 |
| xiong | guntbert, I find the same trouble with Guest. In short, the Games submenu is surely messed up, in that sub-submenus can't be enabled. Something is wrong in the system. | 21:00 |
| ania_ | plz help me with sound 9.10 | 21:00 |
| oCean_ | adamot: The link I send should be very easy to follow. In short: open the file /etc/fstab in your favorite editor, and add a line there specifying the 2nd hdd, the mountpoint, filsystemtype and mountoptions. | 21:00 |
| Guest59797 | I donwloaded Crunchbang via torrent, and it wont boot up. | 21:00 |
| knopf | hi. does anyone know why "ssh -gNv -R :10000:localhost:15000 bla@example.com" results in "telnet localhost 15000" working but "telnet example.com 15000" doesn't work? thanks | 21:00 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: I'm not sure how to explain it, but if your driver is not compatible with compiz, your Xorg will crash when you play video in full screen. | 21:00 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, also happens when NOT in fullscreen. You think this might go away turning off compiz? | 21:01 |
| Guest59797 | He has a Pentium II with 200MB of RAM, my brothers computer. I need to install something lightweight on it.. | 21:01 |
| MrKeuner | hello, is there a way to uninstall all the packages but base installation files? | 21:01 |
| Damian | you could always try debian with xfce | 21:01 |
| ania_ | i ve got sound only after reload alsa forced reboot | 21:01 |
| ania_ | what to do? | 21:01 |
| mka | shilan1, type "uname -r" and see the version of the kernel you have booted. and then edit the corresponding line in menu.lst | 21:01 |
| Guest59797 | He's a n00b. Isnt debian a bit more demanding than ubuntu? | 21:01 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest59797: SliTaz | 21:02 |
| Guest59797 | I tried Xubuntu, it seems to be too much for the comp lol | 21:02 |
| Guest59797 | Slitaz? | 21:02 |
| Guest59797 | hmm | 21:02 |
| mka | shilan1, there is no harm in editing in all the file, but it is not worth it | 21:02 |
| Damian | it´s as easy as ubuntu | 21:02 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: Probably. What's the output of « lspci | grep VGA » ? | 21:02 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest59797: http://www.slitaz.org/en/ | 21:02 |
| xeer | Happy holidays everyone. I just received a Logitech MX 5500 Revolution as a gift, it's said since logitech does not have linux drivers! | 21:02 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest59797: takes only 35 mb | 21:02 |
| shilan1 | mka ok tnx | 21:02 |
| Guest59797 | Excellent, I will check it out. I will give Debian a look at too. | 21:02 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ania_: which version of ubuntu u have? | 21:03 |
| Guest59797 | Why not just use Debian instead of Ubuntu, then? | 21:03 |
| guntbert | xiong: sorry to hear that - still reinstalling a whole OS because of menu settings seems .... | 21:03 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] | 21:03 |
| xeer | The person getting the gift said they asked the salesman at Best Buy if it would work in linux, of course they would say yes | 21:03 |
| guntbert | xiong: ... extreme | 21:03 |
| ania_ | 9.10 | 21:03 |
| xeer | Does anyone know of a way to get the SetPoint software to work under WINE? | 21:03 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: and what's your driver use for that? | 21:03 |
| Guest59797 | Damian: what are the advantages to Debian over ubuntu? Just a curiosity. lol | 21:03 |
| xiong | guntbert, I'm not being clear. I want to erase the menu -- well, first I want to know what to *call* it. What makes the menus? How can I get docs on it? | 21:04 |
| oCean_ | xeer: may be ask in #winehq? | 21:04 |
| guntbert | !ot Guest59797 Damian | 21:04 |
| mka | xeer what is the SetPoint software? | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:04 |
| fanti | hello! is here somebody who is aware of the ati's fglrx / xorg-server problem, which causes very slow window-creation when compositing is enabled (desktop effects)? | 21:04 |
| Damian | Guest59797 - it doesn´t come with preinstalled appliactions and you can choose the graphical menager | 21:04 |
| xiong | guntbert, So far as I can tell, there may be two or three different overlapping things trying to get in on the menu generation process. I'm totally confused. | 21:04 |
| Guest59797 | !ot? | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:04 |
| BlouBlou | guntbert: separate command and users with a "|" | 21:05 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, as I said, working out of the box... i dont know anything about any driver | 21:05 |
| EsatYuce | ubottu | 21:05 |

| Guest59797 | Slitaz can be installed to your HD? | 21:05 |
| mka | fanti: are you having enough memory? | 21:05 |
| P1R1 | My pendrive will not mount, I need some help plz | 21:05 |
| Damian | Guest59797 - why don´t you try xubuntu? xfce is very low on resources | 21:06 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: try to go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and see if any proprietary drivers listed there | 21:06 |
| fanti | mka: i guess so.. yes | 21:06 |
| jurisz | can I mount first root partition, second partition to /home and third to /home/xxx . Will there be conficts with second and third aprtition mount points? | 21:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest59797: yes | 21:06 |
| xeer | mka: it's what Logitech calls their drivers that run in windows | 21:06 |
| Darkchylde | Damian: xubuntu's a bit too heavy for the guest's machine. | 21:06 |
| Guest59797 | Damian: I did, it worked, but then my brothers task bar vanished. lol | 21:06 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, there isnt. In previous Ubuntu versions there was, but with the last ones, it's gone | 21:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Guest59797: Have you tried installing with the alternate CD for ubuntu? | 21:06 |
| Guest59797 | X-Sleepy-X: Ok, on the site it was talking about booting from CDs and Pen drives. | 21:06 |
| Guest59797 | X-Sleepy-X: Ubuntu will install graphically, it just is very slow. | 21:07 |
| BlouBlou | guntbert: okok hehe | 21:07 |
| Guest59797 | Once installed, etc. | 21:07 |
| fanti | mka: 4gb of ram and 512 mb of dedicated graphics memory | 21:07 |
| Guest59797 | Damian: No idea why, I had problems installing Xubuntu on his computer anyways. | 21:08 |
| xiong | guntbert, I'm getting a very strong feeling that this menu issue is connected to the libxml-sax-perl issue, but I don't see how. | 21:08 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: type « lspci -k » and look for VGA and tell me what driver in use. :) | 21:08 |
| tarski | anyone know how to make wine under ubuntu suck less? i have a nvidia card and the fps in a game i am playing is allover the place sometimes 50 fps sometimes 9 fps! | 21:08 |
| mka | fanti: that is more than sufficient, you really need compiz? | 21:08 |
| shilan1 | mka: should i remove this line "# defoptions=quiet splash" | 21:08 |
| fanti | mka: i'd like to use compiz, yes | 21:08 |
| mka | shilan1, leave it as it is | 21:08 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, I get this: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] | 21:09 |

| guntbert | xiong: let me look for something | 21:10 |
| avar | After an hour of so of googling around I still can't find how to change the automounted mointpoint in /media for my mp3 device: http://pastie.org/756603 | 21:10 |

| avar | I've tried setting what look to be the right values in gconf but that doesn't work | 21:10 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, should those work better? | 21:10 |
| mka | jurisz, can you state your problem again | 21:10 |
| xiong | guntbert, Let's try this. This other issue seems to be that I have a bad install of XML::SAX. But 'locate SAX' turns up dozens of entries. Can I somehow uninstall all versions of XML::SAX, reinstall, and see what I get then? | 21:11 |
| fanti | mka: this is an already known bug... which can be fixed by the 107_fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch (google tells more about it) | 21:11 |
| fanti | mka: i'm just wondering if there is a workaround for that problem for ubuntu users | 21:11 |
| mka | fanti, and then? what happens when you follow those suggestions? | 21:11 |
| fanti | mka: i don't like to recompile xorg-server by myself.... | 21:12 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: Usually it does. You're in which version of ubuntu and what kernel version? type « uname -a » if you don't know | 21:12 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, Linux dbugger-laptop 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 21:12 |
| mka | fanti, ok that is very deep for my level of understanding. but if you can recompile it, then go ahead | 21:12 |
| shilan1 | mka: should i remove quiet after " kernel /vmlinuz.. " in last line ? | 21:13 |
| isolat3dsh33p | dbugger: Wait... | 21:13 |
| mka | shilan1, yes | 21:13 |
| mka | shilan1, if there is "splash" on that specific line, remove it as well | 21:14 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, ok | 21:14 |

| ssv1994 | hello, does someone use linux mint? | 21:17 |
| pyrak | i think i'll go with edubuntu because the educational games can only be a good thing. though i think the simplicity of the netbook remix interface might be nice... | 21:17 |
| dbugger | isolat3dsh33p, Yeah, i already did. SHould I install it? | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | pyrak, difficult to say , do some research keeping in mind what your brothers interests are and what he wants to do with it | 21:17 |
| guntbert | !mint | ssv1994 | 21:17 |

| Guest59797 | lol | 21:18 |
| Guest59797 | There is no download area on their site. | 21:18 |
| mka | fanti: maybe there is a better way to tell apt to ignore it. that would be fancy! | 21:18 |
| sepehr | u want slitaz 2.0 or cooking | 21:18 |
| shilan1 | ! | 21:18 |
| Guest59797 | sepher: what is "cooking" | 21:19 |
| pyrak | ah, looks like i can easily get all the educational games by installing one package | 21:19 |
| pyrak | ubuntu-edu-secondary | 21:19 |
| pyrak | so maybe i'll go with netbook remix and then grab all the games | 21:19 |
| Guest59797 | sepher: Where is the download option on the site? | 21:19 |

| timbuk2 | under IRC Preferences, there is Nickname, Real name, Quit message, Part message, Away message, Highlighting, User Interface(subtopics: Use the system terminal font, use this font, log conversations, show timestamps, show marker line" | 21:27 |
| timbuk2 | that is it...nothing else under IRC Preferences | 21:27 |
| miriam | hola | 21:27 |
| jiffe20 | it is not on the same subnet do it doesn't show up under network | 21:27 |
| timbuk2 | and I would definitely consider this auto-connect server nonsense a preference | 21:27 |
| Hydrosis | tumbuk2 what are you trying to do | 21:27 |

| mobi-sheep | timbuk2: XChat --> Network List | 21:28 |
| timbuk2 | Hyd: When I load xchat, I don't want it to connect me to any server, or join any channel | 21:28 |
| timbuk2 | I looked in the Network list | 21:28 |
| timbuk2 | it's just a list of servers | 21:28 |
| timbuk2 | none of which are freenode | 21:28 |
| timbuk2 | so i have no idea how i'm connecting to freenode or how i'd alter it | 21:28 |
| mkquist_ | timbuk2 - check in nickname, see if there are identities maybe | 21:28 |
| mobi-sheep | timbuk2: irc.ubuntu.com -- That's a freenode server. | 21:29 |
| X-Sleepy-X | timbuk2: press Ctrl+S | 21:29 |

| Hydrosis | guntbert: when you want default settings re-install is the safest way to do it, unless the feature is built into the app. | 21:30 |
| timbuk2 | ok | 21:30 |
| timbuk2 | that works | 21:30 |

Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language, or leisurely op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so. | 21:41 |

| xiong | MrKeuner, The professor walked into the lecture hall and chalked a proposition in symbolic logic, saying, "Now, you'll agree that's obvious." Then he scratched his head a moment, rushed out of the room, and came back half an hour later, saying, "Yes, I was right; it *is* obvious." | 21:48 |
| mobi-sheep | MrKeuner: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' -- It'll give you a list of installed packages. Compare that with ubuntu-desktop by "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" -- Not everything *ought* to be purged because of dependencies. Also, you could try "history | grep install" to see a partial list. | 21:49 |

| Hydrosis | chazco, run line-in to headphone and hit record. | 21:58 |
| juank | yes I know, but I need a name to my win partition, I cant set it | 21:58 |
| Zlobi1 | vapOr: or it is wrong architecture | 21:59 |
| tritium | niek33: also, you can type "/help ignore" for more info | 21:59 |
| juank | I dont know why... is there a format to do it | 21:59 |
| guntbert | Zlobi1: could hurt - always assume only as little priviledges as possible | 21:59 |
| juank | ??? | 21:59 |
| Hydrosis | juank, your win partiton should have a default name. | 21:59 |
| vap0r | guntbert: what is ./configure for? | 21:59 |
| chazco | Hydrosis - Looking for a more software based approach, but that idea seems to be the only one likely to work... | 21:59 |
| juank | the "apply" button doesn't let me set the name | 22:00 |
| vap0r | it says no such directory for that command. whatever that was for. | 22:00 |
| guntbert | vap0r: *if* there is a configure file it sets up the compilation environment and creates the make file | 22:00 |
| juank | Im ignorant with linux | 22:00 |
| Hydrosis | juank, we all were at one time. | 22:00 |
| transtead | oooo... "xkill" is nice!!:-D | 22:00 |
| Zlobi1 | guntbert: sidenote - I have passed thru a living hell thanks to sudo and I am tired of typing the pass each time and I know you insist on such security practice, so I run the shortest way :P | 22:00 |
| vap0r | guntbert: Note: in the readme it says: "This is a source distribution and requires a working compiler toolchain." | 22:00 |
| Hydrosis | xkill is not the same as killall or pkill, though. | 22:00 |
| mobi-sheep | transtead: :-) | 22:01 |
| xiong | This is *really* bad. All sorts of things use XML and some, apparently, use the libxml-sax-perl parser. Therefore all of these things are broken. | 22:01 |
| mobi-sheep | transtead: You could add "Force Quit" applet in GNOME Panel too. | 22:01 |
| Hydrosis | mobi-sheep: I use that app, it's a MUST HAVE on linux machines since everything always crashes or freezes for no apparent reason. | 22:01 |
| xiong | transtead, Thumbs up on the 'Force Quit' panel applet. | 22:01 |
| transtead | mobi-sheep: the linux learning curve is steep... but worth it, I can see already | 22:01 |

| ubottu | Alacard: 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? | 22:04 |
| guntbert | !google | Hydrosis | 22:04 |
| ubottu | Hydrosis: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 22:04 |
| Alacard | I have a question about running UNR on an Acer Aspire One | 22:04 |

| guntbert | vap0r: what version of ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| vap0r | guntbert: the latest and greatest | 22:06 |

| adac | Is there a power save option that disables compiz automatically when I'm running on battery? | 22:07 |
| Zlobi1 | juank: Easy, I was like you, 9 years of win, now I am almost having fun :) | 22:07 |
| fanti | hm ubuntu disables the root account by default ? | 22:07 |
| P1R11 | Zlobi1: Its possible | 22:07 |
| guntbert | vap0r: type sudo aptitude update (to update the database), then sudo aptitude install build-essential | 22:07 |

| P1R11 | Zlobi1: Please tell me that I can recover the data...Its really important | 22:07 |
| bastid_raZor | fanti: yes, you are correct | 22:07 |
| deserteagle | question: how can I enable automatic login via command line? thanks! | 22:07 |
| Zlobi1 | P1R11: Either finda win PC and safe remove or check for a forcr mount command in google | 22:07 |
| bastid_raZor | !root | fanti | 22:07 |
| ubottu | fanti: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:07 |
| Spaniel | doez anyone know why the cube in Compiz fusion is opening as a wall instead of a cube | 22:08 |
| P1R11 | Zolbi1: Will do. Thanks | 22:08 |
| Datz | could someone help me with xorg.conf? | 22:08 |
| mobi-sheep | adac: I would imagine it is possible. You'd have to look for the script and add that to the command. I'd suggest for you to write your own script, that way, you can add/remove more than just compiz. | 22:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Spaniel: possibly #compiz will have faster more accurate answers. | 22:08 |

| kowalski | hi! ;D | 22:11 |
| Zlobi1 | Guest30044: Update kernels or network part of them, be careful | 22:12 |
| soreau | Spaniel: You need to go into gnome-appearance-properties and set Extra or Custom in the Visual Effects tab. Or if you have ccsm installed, enable Rotate Cube and it will disable Wall | 22:12 |
| bastid_raZor | !startup | transtead | 22:12 |

| Zlobi1 | Yes vapOr, sry | 22:12 |
| adac | mobi-sheep, guess it wouldn't be that hard to write. But in my opinion this 'script' should be added to the powersave options | 22:12 |
| Zlobi1 | Guest30044: Well, sudo apt-get update | 22:13 |

| ssv1994 | hello, does adobe flash player include mp3 and mpeg codecs? | 22:14 |
| mobi-sheep | adac: You can request for it on Ubuntu Brainstorm. I recall somebody requesting the power manager to have "Do Nothing" feature too. Also, to disable compiz to shave few minutes off? While you're at it, two gnome-panels is using more processes than one gnome-panel. You get the idea. | 22:14 |
| Cappy | ssv1994, you need ubuntu-restircted-extras to fill in those gaps | 22:15 |
| grawity | mobi-sheep: Compiz does a lot of GFX stuff; two gnome-panels means nothing, they probably even share libraries. | 22:15 |
| guntbert | vap0r: I assume you *have* pidgin installed? | 22:15 |
| vap0r | guntbert: yes | 22:15 |

| Guest30044 | Zlobil, i did sudo apt-get update already what GUI updater are you talking about? | 22:16 |
| adac | mobi-sheep, sorry don't understand the last gnome-panel part. | 22:16 |
| Cappy | ssv1994, not that im aware of, try doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" to fill int he codec gaps. | 22:16 |
| ssv1994 | ok | 22:17 |
| fanti | hm when having the root account disabled, why is there still a directory /root ? | 22:17 |
| guntbert | vap0r: I'm not certain but it could be that the author assumed you have pidgin complied from source too - I really suggest to ask the author | 22:17 |
| fanti | is it safe to remove /root ? | 22:17 |
| linuxghost | does someone knows how to install AR5523 0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 Firmware???? | 22:17 |
| guntbert | *compiled | 22:17 |
| grawity | fanti: The root account still exists. It always exists. And it has a home directory. | 22:17 |
| gdb | fanti: The root account isn't disabled, it's locked. You can become root whenever you like and root's home directory is /root. | 22:17 |
| grawity | fanti: It's just that it has no password, so is locked out... But even when you use 'sudo', you access it. | 22:18 |
| vap0r | guntbert: ok thanks | 22:18 |
| fanti | thanks | 22:18 |

| fanti | hmm another question (sorry i'm new to ubuntu). at installation time, i'm ask if my home directory should be encrypted or not. can somebody tell what kind of encryption is used for my home (which algorithm and key-length), and is it possible to open another's encrypted home directory when having the password? e.g. to copy something as root from a user's home directory. | 22:21 |
| resno1 | sound and pad worked prior to update | 22:21 |
| adac | mobi-sheep, Do you think disabling compiz while I'm on battery really would save me only a very few minutes? | 22:22 |
| Datz | hi, is anyone around to help me with my graphics driver? | 22:22 |
| tritium | fanti: the user decrypts his home directory upon login. Not even root can do this without the user's password. | 22:22 |
| Cappy | tritium, i was reading the forums and see that support for mobility 200m was dropped in mid 2009. | 22:22 |
| mobi-sheep | adac: I don't know. I like having compiz running. You would have to do a trial run. :) | 22:23 |
| tritium | Cappy: could be, I don't know | 22:23 |

| adac | mobi-sheep, :) Well maybe it would not bad to have an "advanced" power management. Mean not only compiz to control with but multiple apps and services or gnome-panels | 22:25 |
| resno1 | fata_erro: what are you trying to do? in some cases the sudo doesnt pass to another application | 22:25 |
| fata_erro | i'm typingg my root password | 22:25 |

| jenia | can anyone tell me: when I use the ifconfig command, I get the inet and inet6 info | 23:20 |
| jenia | which is the ip address? | 23:21 |
| HomeBoy_25 | mobile broadband is like a USB dongle that you attach to the laptop/computer and connects you to the internet via 3G or 3.5G | 23:21 |
| iceroot | jenia: inet adress | 23:21 |
| bastid_raZor | jenia: inet is your ip | 23:21 |
| sryque | jenia: inet addr: is the IP address and inet6 addr: is the IP v6 address | 23:21 |
| Cappy | bastid_raZor, i dont know what radeon driver to install, everywhere i read tells me NOT TO INSTALL it, yet people in here tell me to install. so im quite confused | 23:21 |
| iceroot | jenia: inet adress is ipv4 inet6 adrress is ipv6 | 23:21 |
| HomeBoy_25 | when i use it with windows, it automatically installs itself | 23:21 |
| jenia | okay thanks my friends | 23:22 |
| ai9371 | I cant get my WMP54GS to work without ndiswrapper | 23:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Cappy: well, you can try it and if it does not work simply uninstall. no harm done. | 23:22 |
| Cappy | bastid_raZor, last time i tried that, i resorted to blowing away the install and starting from scratch. | 23:23 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: but you're not using windows. what is the make and model of the usb dongle? | 23:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Cappy: xserver-xorg-video-radeon and radeonhd .. | 23:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Cappy: if booting fails simply drop to shell and uninstall the exact package and reboot. | 23:23 |
| Cappy | this is the reason i keep going back to windows, it just works. | 23:23 |

| rem__ | jenia: I would enter 127.0.0.1 (local address), but I'm not sure .. | 23:26 |
| HomeBoy_25 | dremits_: Lemme check.. It says Tattoo Mobile Broadband from Globe Telecom made by Hwawei | 23:26 |
| Cappy | "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon" returns "xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version." | 23:26 |
| bastid_raZor | Concretesledge: install vmware tools while booted into the guest. | 23:26 |
| bastid_raZor | Concretesledge: let me look at my desktop and get back to you.. i'll be able to tell you more about adding shares then. | 23:27 |

| rem__ | inet address | 23:28 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: is youre system up to date? | 23:28 |
| HomeBoy_25 | yes, it is | 23:28 |
| aar | While I was doing a Karmic install I got an input-output error. I restarted the system, but since this happened I have to wait about 2 mins for the system to boot (even after fixing the MBR). Do I have a problem with my BIOS? | 23:28 |
| HomeBoy_25 | i think my problem is really "how to install .exe files in ubuntu" | 23:28 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: Install the linux-backports-modules-generic package and gnome-phone-manager | 23:28 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: Install those packages | 23:28 |
| bastid_raZor | Concretesledge: you'll need to edit your virtual machine settings from the workstation menu.. while the guest is not booted. under options enable shared folders | 23:29 |
| HomeBoy_25 | because the device is mounted and i can browse through files | 23:29 |
| rem__ | you can change it again in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and restart mysql .. | 23:29 |
| HomeBoy_25 | how do i actually get to install the packages (sorry its my first time to use ubuntu) | 23:29 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: You can't install .exe files per se | 23:29 |
| HomeBoy_25 | dremits_: or shall i say, run .exe files | 23:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Concretesledge: from there you'll see where youc an share folders. for example, i have /home/razor/downloads shared. as far as i remember it adds a desktop folder in the guest. but let me double check that. | 23:30 |
| maco | HomeBoy_25: .exe files are windows executables. *only* windows ones. | 23:30 |
| henrique_ | i've installed nvidia drivers but i can't put 1024x768 resolution. i'm trying to configure xorg.conf but without success, can someone help me? | 23:30 |

| Cappy | so, does anyone else have any ideas as to why my video is laggy? seems like im running the newest version of the driver, but video is still being a pita. | 23:31 |
| karma_police | when is it laggy? all the time or just in browser? | 23:31 |
| dremits_ | HomeBoy_25: If you wanna do it graphically go to System > Admin > Synaptic Package manager. then search for those packages, double click on the right ones to mark it and then click apply | 23:31 |
| Cappy | karma_police, all the time, windows will jump around when scrolling, i get VERY POOR video performance while playing a very simple game. its almost to the point where im looking for a windows disk. | 23:33 |
| ska | HOw do I charge my Ipod Touch in Ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| HomeBoy_25 | i'll try that. thanks. | 23:33 |

| dremits_ | bastif_raZor: i think (and my knowledge isn't great at all) they recently added this. not sure though | 23:39 |
| warddr | iceroot, those stats are web-based, so they are accessible by everyone.? | 23:39 |
| iceroot | warddr: .htaccess | 23:39 |
| warddr | lighttpd doesn't support .htaccess | 23:40 |
| bastid_raZor | dremits_: i use an older version and i do not have it. i don't need it so.. i keep the motto. if it ain't broke don't fix it. | 23:40 |

| warddr | iceroot, I'll write a log analyze script myself than. Thanks for your help anyway | 23:43 |
| B3rz3rk3r_ | dremits_, usually happens when you dont d/c properly | 23:43 |
| gatinho | oi | 23:43 |
| bastid_raZor | dremits_: not a clue. #freenode will be able to help with stolen/orphaned nicks | 23:43 |
| dremits_ | bastid_raZor: cheers i'll chat with them | 23:44 |
| tritium | dremits_: if that's the case, /msg nickserv ghost <password>, and you can get your original nick back | 23:44 |

| iceroot | warddr: ok, good luck | 23:44 |
| PointMan | if I want a normal user to just have acccess to restart apache and set a specific symbolic link, whats the safest way to do this ? | 23:44 |
| iceroot | sepehr: ifconfig is a command for the terminal | 23:44 |
| iceroot | PointMan: you need sudo to restart apache | 23:45 |
| jfalco | Hey guys, got a little problem... LAN xfer speeds start at 10Mb/s and then quickly drop to 200-500Kb/s (NFS, SMB, FTP, SCP) wrt160n, DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/25/09) mini, everything 100/FD, New cables, New NICs, and new router. Any ideas??? | 23:45 |
| iceroot | PointMan: because apache is running as root | 23:45 |

| PointMan | iceroot: yes, but how do I give the normal user access to do that? I was thinking of doing a shell script for the 2 commands, which he can just run but not edit | 23:46 |
| ai9371 | when i try to set it up it says that mysql can not start | 23:46 |
| Hald | Howdy folks | 23:46 |
| Hald | How do I upgrade f-spot to the latest version on intrepid ibex? | 23:46 |
| sepehr | iceroot: mind telling me what il be looking for in ifconfig since it will take me a little while to reboot onto kubuntu to get it and back to the liveUSB to get back on IRC | 23:46 |
| tritium | doody, Hald | 23:46 |
| ai9371 | im Trying to SET UP LAMPP | 23:46 |
| ai9371 | help | 23:47 |
| ai9371 | ! | 23:47 |
| ai9371 | i installed it and now it sayd mysql cant astart | 23:47 |
| tritium | !lamp | ai9371 | 23:47 |
| ubottu | ai9371: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:47 |
| bastid_raZor | Hald: if it isn't in the repo then either finding a ppa for it or if getting a deb from f-spot.. or build from source | 23:47 |
| sharif | how to know current version from terminal ? | 23:47 |
| bastid_raZor | Hald: possibly backports also. | 23:47 |

| Hald | bastid_raZor: and I can some hoe use this tool dpkg if I want to build it right? Is there a gui for the app? | 23:48 |
| CVirus | How can I prevent a user from accessing the tty terminals through ctrl +alt + f1 to 9 ? | 23:48 |
| bastid_raZor | Hald: to build it no, you would compile it.. a .deb would be using dpkg. you could double click the .deb and a GUI tool will install it. | 23:49 |
| fengor | dont start them CVirus | 23:49 |
| CVirus | fengor: how ? | 23:49 |
| PointMan | iceroot: I reason I ask is there is a rule that says "do not use suid shell scripts" but I dont see how it is more dangerous than just adding the user to the sudoers list | 23:50 |

| sharif | Slart : no i didn't | 23:53 |
| Hald | bastid_raZor: but can't I make a package from a tar and install it that way. You see, 9.10 did not suite my old laptop so I installed 8.10 again. But I still want the latest functions and apps | 23:53 |

| Slart | yigal: looks like it is | 23:54 |
| Hald | bastid_raZor: thanks for the clue, I google it | 23:54 |

| yigal | right, ok so if I want to install X11R7.5 can I do that through https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 23:55 |
| trism | !checkinstall | Hald | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Hald: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 23:55 |
