| Ose | can anyone help me get my comp online? I have an USB wifi dongle that did work, until the network changed. I got help with getting it on last time, but because of the new encryption settings I can't do it again on my own. Alternately I could use this vista laptop + an ethernet cable, but that too would require a walkthrough | 00:00 |
| gl0w_ | if im not able to get help in here can anyone recommend a forum or something that i could post on perhaps? | 00:01 |

| amelius | ardnew: have you tried power cycling the router? | 00:11 |
| nnx | Ose: I'd help you if I could, but my Linux skills have rusted. As-is I'm just trying to figure out what made dd go weird. | 00:11 |
| mMezquitale | Ose, if your network "changed" then you have to figure out what those changes are, like for example if it's secured then you have to change the password, we cant figure it out unless we know what those changes are | 00:11 |
| Ose | mMezquitale: it's a brand new network | 00:12 |
| Slart | lvh: I started browsing through the openstreetmap site.. it seems there are some software available.. here's one http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Traveling_Salesman | 00:12 |
| Ose | just with the same router | 00:12 |
| Ose | i.e. the router was reset | 00:12 |
| Slart | lvh: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing/OfflineRouters | 00:12 |
| lvh | Slart, awesome, thanks, I'll start reading now | 00:12 |
| ardnew | amelius: yeah. the only thing that seems to resolve it is power cycling the laptop.. | 00:14 |
| mMezquitale | Ose, if the router was reset then most likely the password was changed, that's the first possibililty | 00:14 |
| Ose | yes I know, I made a new connection | 00:14 |
| Ose | the old network had a different name and a normal passphrase | 00:15 |
| Ose | this one has a new name and a WEP passphrase | 00:15 |
| Ose | or something | 00:15 |

| nnx | I'm trying to make a direct HD image with dd (nothing fancy, just if and of parameters). But it seems to have "skipped" most of a gigabyte. Any insight as to why this might be? | 00:16 |
| ardnew | amelius: it will let me 'networking stop', but when I try to restart or just start it prints the "starting..." message or whatever and then returns to the shell prompt. it never prints that [done] message on the right | 00:17 |
| ardnew | so something is failing when trying to start the networking script | 00:18 |
| ardnew | er when trying to execute the networking script | 00:18 |
| Ose | okay, I managed to connect to the network | 00:19 |
| Ose | but its not online | 00:19 |

| tzanger | good evening; I'm running 9.10 amd64 and need to install libgtk1.2-dev... I've apt-get updated but it still says that while things reference that package, it cant' find the package | 00:21 |
| tzanger | libgtk2.0-dev is not the right one | 00:21 |
| Koganei | so, there are no timestamps in the log for synergy+, but I figure I can modify the source and add it. Are there any resources to learn how to make a standard patch so I can send it to the synergy+ project? | 00:21 |

| ska | I loaded a Lenovo G530 with 9.10, it ran for a few days, and somehow the UUID was not findable when we rebooted today.. I had to go into rescue mode and change all UUID's to /dev/sdaX... Not sure how this happened | 00:29 |
| jtaji | jillsmitt: I'd recommend clonezilla | 00:30 |
| ska | I converted both the grub.cfg and /dev/fstab, and all works ok. | 00:30 |
| jillsmitt | jtaji, can you navigate me to it? | 00:30 |
| ska | But I'm not sure how it lost its UUIDs | 00:30 |
| jtaji | jillsmitt: http://clonezilla.org/ http://clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/stable/iso-zip-files.php | 00:32 |

| binMonkey | hi, guys. i borked my windows in dual boot. i need to remove my ubuntu partitions and increase my windows partition. i've read up on it and it seems straightforward. is there anything i should be wary of? | 00:35 |
| mMezquitale | Travis-42, try copying and then to paste press CTRL-V | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: you will need to reinstall the windows boot loader some how | 00:35 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: just using apt-get at the moment | 00:35 |
| Travis-42 | mMezquitale, CTRL-V, middle click, none of the paste functions will work | 00:35 |
| mkquist | binMonkey: why remove? cantyou just resize? | 00:35 |
| danny | how can i get install nubuntu on my ubuntu system? | 00:36 |
| binMonkey | Dr_Willis: all the guides say i have to issue the fixmbr command to do that. is that right? | 00:36 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: synaptic can't find it either | 00:36 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: not synaptic, sorry, aptitude | 00:36 |
| ardnew | amelius: I believe it is an integrated chipset. its a stock asus eeepc 1000 | 00:36 |
| mMezquitale | binMonkey, just make sure you have your data backed up, you dont have to reinstall windows if you installed it first | 00:36 |
| binMonkey | mkquist: i tried gparted live but it won't allow me to resize the windows partition. i guess partitions have to be next to each other to resize them? | 00:37 |
| ardnew | amelius: and a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 | 00:37 |
| mkquist_ | binMonkey: yes | 00:37 |
| cynicalpsycho | hello room | 00:37 |

| mMezquitale | !ot | cynicalpsycho | 00:37 |
| ubottu | cynicalpsycho: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:37 |

| ubottu | ska: 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. :-) | 00:38 |
| mkquist_ | binMonkey: my understanding is that after you resize your windows part, you should boot into windows at least once | 00:38 |
| mkquist_ | binMonkey: to let it update itself | 00:38 |
| binMonkey | zcat[1]: my laptop didn't come with an install cd. and i can't create a recovery cd because i made my windows partition too small. there's no room to make one. | 00:38 |
| nigel_nb | binMonkey: you have to compromize on data if u are going to resize | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: depends on your version of windows.. MS is so good - it feels tthe need to change the commands/ways to do it.. every new version | 00:38 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: synaptic doesn't see libgtk1.2-dev either | 00:39 |
| tzanger | this has to have a simple solution, but I'm just not seeing it. I do have universe sources set up | 00:39 |
| zcat[1] | binMonkey: you can probably just delete the ubuntu partitions, resize the ntfs partition and then reinstall ubuntu, GRUB will detect windows and set up dual-boot for you again. | 00:40 |
| binMonkey | Dr_Willis: it's windows 7. the only reason i kept it was for games and now i realize i'll have to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate to run 32 bit games. i fucking hate this. | 00:40 |
| nigel_nb | tzanger: what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 00:40 |
| danny | how can i get install nubuntu on my ubuntu system? | 00:40 |
| zcat[1] | binMonkey: using 'gparted' on the ubuntu live cd | 00:40 |
| drbobb | ok can anyone share some experience with communicating with a windows mobile/ce/pocket/whatever device? | 00:40 |
| tzanger | nigel_nb: 9.10 | 00:40 |
| binMonkey | zcat[1]:delete them under windows? then resize under windows? do i need a resizing program to do that? | 00:41 |
| ardnew | drbobb: it sync'd right up using activesync on windows xp sp3 | 00:41 |
| nigel_nb | tzanger: you're looking for libgtk1.2? | 00:41 |
| ardnew | it was quite pleasant | 00:41 |
| tzanger | nigel_nb: yes, to build an older app | 00:41 |
| nigel_nb | tzanger: its not available after jaunty | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: sounds like MS was good at reaming the users again... | 00:41 |
| drbobb | ardnew: what is activesync? I haven't used windows for years | 00:41 |
| zcat[1] | binMonkey: no, just boot the ubuntu live cd and use 'partition editor' or whatever it's called (alt-F2 "gksu gparted" will launch it) | 00:41 |
| mMezquitale | tzanger, enable back ports | 00:42 |
| ardnew | drbobb: its microsoft's application for syncing windows mobile phones with windows os | 00:42 |
| zcat[1] | binMonkey: make a backup of any files you need to keep from ubuntu first though | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | binMonkey: fixmbr was used for the olkder verisons of windows.. definatly different in Win7 amd Vista I recall ask in #windows | 00:42 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: backports? ok | 00:42 |
| drbobb | ardnew: so you suggest my only option is to get a copy of windows? | 00:42 |
| zcat[1] | Dr_Willis: it is? I thought it was still identical | 00:42 |
| nigel_nb | libgtk | 00:42 |
| binMonkey | thanks, guys. wish me luck. | 00:42 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: so just add "backports" to the deb line that I have universe multiverse etc on? | 00:43 |
| mMezquitale | tzanger, and then search for it using synaptic, i can't find it either on my machine, im using karmic, if it's an old library then hopefully it's included in backports | 00:43 |
| mMezquitale | tzanger, add back ports to your config then do an update | 00:43 |
| * zcat[1] has managed to largely avoid exposure to vista and 7 so far. | 00:43 | |
| ardnew | drbobb: absolutely not.. I was just answering your original question | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | zcat[1]: last i tried. tjere was a fixboot command and a few others.. but I dont use windows much any more.. so who knows.. i may be thinking about 'fdisk /mbr' | 00:43 |
| drbobb | ardnew: btw the manual for my device says it connects to a pc via usb in mass storage mode, which happens to be a lie, because it doesn't | 00:44 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: I understand what you're saying, but how does one add backports? there isn't a checkbox in synaptic | 00:44 |
| Koganei | synergy+ took 2 minutes to install and run, btw ^_^ | 00:44 |
| Koganei | easy peasy~ | 00:44 |
| AntonyS | danny, looking around it looks like nubuntu is its own distribution, it is not something that you install for your ubuntu system, but rather install in addition too | 00:44 |
| ardnew | drbobb: that is an option for your USB connection on the windows mobile device. check your settings | 00:44 |
| danny | ohh ok | 00:44 |
| AntonyS | danny, it looks like you need to download the iso and install from there | 00:44 |
| mMezquitale | tzanger, software sources | 00:44 |
| zcat[1] | Dr_Willis: with XP you can just reinstall ubuntu, it doesn't matter how messed up the bootchain was beforehand the installer will see the WIndows partition and add it to GRUB for you.. | 00:44 |
| ardnew | drbobb: mine connected as a mass storage device jsut fine | 00:45 |
| AntonyS | danny, you could install it alongside regular ubuntu by partitioning | 00:45 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: yes, again I undestand that but what do I add? synaptic does not have a checkbox for backports | 00:45 |
| drbobb | ardnew: I have checked all setting there are to check. the device has no setting available related to usb mode | 00:45 |
| danny | yea ill have to.... | 00:45 |
| amelius | ardnew: is there some Fn key combo that will (theoretically) deactivate/reactivate the wireless? | 00:45 |
| ardnew | drbobb: what OS is on the phone | 00:45 |
| tzanger | mMezquitale: I think I found it | 00:45 |
| mMezquitale | tzanger, the problem is your machine does not know where to get the software from, it doesnt not know the source | 00:45 |
| ardnew | amelius: yes there is. I will try that next time I put this baby in sleep mode | 00:46 |
| mMezquitale | exit | 00:46 |
| ardnew | thanks | 00:46 |

| mMezquitale | tzanger, looks like youre outta luck, it doesnt exist for karmic | 00:47 |
| drbobb | ardnew: not like I know what that means | 00:47 |

| ubottu | Robert350: 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. :-) | 00:53 |
| phako | mMezquitale: ah right. I thought this was about dillo | 00:53 |
| rahduke | Pici: can i use URLs? | 00:53 |
| Pici | rahduke: You could use a website, but it a traceroute tool, so html pages aren't valid. | 00:54 |
| BluesKaj | Admin__, a windows exe ? | 00:54 |
| Pici | rahduke: mtr google.com would be valid | 00:54 |
| mMezquitale | lotta, you need to create a line for your option in 40_custom | 00:54 |

| teage | is there a program to transmit from computer to radio across the room? | 00:57 |

| Pici | rahduke: no, press 'd' while mtr is running | 00:58 |
| mMezquitale | anubis, when you have a "/boot" partitions grub2 grub might fail, it has to do with the partitions, grub2 now starts counting partitions at 1 | 00:58 |
| mkquist_ | anubis: I have a 900a, no problems at all | 00:58 |
| X-Sleepy-X | anubis: I don't have a problem with GRUB2 on my Eee PC 900. | 00:58 |

| obaid | quit | 01:07 |
| digitalaxis | rahduke, ok so what exactly is your issue your looking to resolve just so i know. You unhappy with the long ms delay? Or are you getting bad packet loss | 01:07 |
| rahduke | there is no loss between me and the router | 01:07 |
| rahduke | digitalaxis: i can't browse the web | 01:07 |
| rahduke | i can download upload and chat, but the web is like broken | 01:07 |
| digitalaxis | rahduke, ok just some base questions: (lol im a compTIA Network+ technician so good timing.) | 01:08 |
| rahduke | digitalaxis: awesome | 01:08 |
| rahduke | u want to PM me? | 01:08 |

| Hargon | ok, what command do I use to set a time limit for a process I want to run? for example, I want to run firefox and have it shut down automatically after 5 minutes | 01:10 |
| anubis | then, no one knows any issue between grub2 (1.97) and asus 1000h? | 01:10 |
| dkulchenko | Hi all! I'm trying to run mc, but when I hit Control-O and try to type, it jumps back to mc. Subshell support is compiled in. When I start it, I get the message: " Cannot open master side of pty: No such file or directory (2)". What does this mean? | 01:11 |
| Admin__ | BluesKaj i just copied the folder from my cd to C: Drive and got that error when i try to install it | 01:11 |
| ZehavaZM | Does ubuntu have an nvidia package or have to use proprietaries? | 01:11 |
| AntonyS | dkulchenko, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97731 | 01:12 |

| dkulchenko | AntonyS: I can't edit /etc/fstab. this is on a shared hosting server. :( | 01:12 |
| vdubhack | I was wondering if anyone could help with this. I un tar'd a file and for some reason its locked when I went to try and change permission says its owned by user 501? I need to save a file to this but says I do not have permission | 01:12 |
| AntonyS | ZehavaZM, usually if you have an nvidia graphics card the propriety hardware tool will detect it and prompt to ask you if you want to install drivers | 01:12 |
| legend2440 | ZehavaZM: open system>admin>hardware drivers are the drivers activated? | 01:13 |
| AntonyS | system->admin->hardware drivers | 01:13 |

| Robert350 | why my testparm send back browseable = no (printers section) if in my smb.conf I wrote browseable = yes??? | 01:13 |
| Hargon | Koganei: is there any way to set a specific time limit? i'm writing a script that requires a program to run only for a specific set amount of time before moving on | 01:14 |
| Koganei | yeah, in the at argument | 01:14 |
| Koganei | you don't run firefox through at, you run the kill signal through at | 01:14 |
| Hargon | ok i see | 01:14 |
| Koganei | then you'd probably have to grep for the firefox id, not sure how to go about doing that | 01:14 |
| Koganei | (to make sure you have the right one that is) | 01:15 |
| ZehavaZM | restarting again, brb | 01:15 |

| AntonyS | try using different driver versions in system->admin->hardware drivers? | 01:16 |
| AntonyS | I am using version 185 without problems, 8800gt | 01:16 |
| ZehavaZM | AntonyS I will do that. I have 1 hour to get this working for a webinar I need to attend. | 01:16 |

| Koganei | N6REJ: maybe you have software that run on specific OSs, that is not your server's OS | 01:26 |
| Koganei | or maybe you want to isolate some processes | 01:26 |
| N6REJ | Koganei: my only real knowledge of vm's is that of mac running windows now | 01:26 |
| mneptok | vdubhack: i'd suggest using the packaged version | 01:26 |
| AntonyS | linux, I have no idea :) I just did a quick google and found that topic which looked helpful | 01:26 |
| vdubhack | mneptok: guess I should try installing that one and then doing the new version after once its met all dependancies? | 01:26 |
| N6REJ | Koganei: ok, on my desktop that woudl be photoshop cs4 | 01:26 |
| Koganei | N6REJ: it's basically just boxes nested into eachother | 01:26 |
| AntonyS | and omfg, after >1 hour of doing a dist upgrade, at the very end of "installing the upgrades", my upgrade aborts! | 01:27 |
| N6REJ | Koganei: its VERY picky about what os... i've never seen a good wine report yet for it. | 01:27 |
| mneptok | vdubhack: no, as you won;t have the development versions of the libraries to link against | 01:27 |
| Koganei | but swince you can't do that physically | 01:27 |
| Koganei | you do it virtually | 01:27 |

| ubottu | You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 01:30 |

| FiReSTaRT | ardchoille: not really.. firefox comes prepackaged with it but im mostly running opera with ff and chrome on the side | 01:30 |
| ardchoille | mneptok: Ah, thank you :) | 01:30 |

| mneptok | FiReSTaRT: http://projects.gnome.org/epiphany/ ;) | 01:31 |

| ZehavaZM | Okay without nvidia driver I get to 800X600 which is slightly better, with it still stuck at 640X480 Can I manually set the resolution in xorg.conf if I'm using the nvidia drivers? | 01:31 |
| Heatmzzr | am i on here? | 01:31 |
| mneptok | ardchoille: are you looking for something more lightweight, or .... ? | 01:32 |

| ardchoille | mneptok: just looking for something that integrates well into gnome | 01:32 |
| ardchoille | mneptok: and isn't firefox | 01:32 |
| Trizicus | Is there a disk usage software that can tell me w/ a chart how much space is used | 01:32 |
| mneptok | ardchoille: look into Midori, also. | 01:32 |
| mneptok | ardchoille: use the PPA version. | 01:32 |
| blistov | I have created an mdraid 5 of three discs (/dev/md1). I then created an lvm (bigroup-root) on /dev/md1,1, on top of which, i create an ext4. I boot to grub rescue, and can see (bigroup-root), set root=(bigroup-root). but ls / returns "erroor: unknown filesystem" | 01:33 |
| ZehavaZM | legend2448 I've tried that | 01:33 |
| blistov | any idea's | 01:33 |
| ardchoille | mneptok: H.. that's a new one on me. Will look into it | 01:33 |
| ZehavaZM | My nvidia proprietary drivers were working fine with my old monitor. I hooked up a new lcd monitor today and the drivers won't allow me past 640X480 resolution now.... | 01:33 |
| mneptok | ardchoille: i use it a bit. it's *fast*. and all GTK. | 01:33 |
| ardchoille | mneptok: Ah, sounds nice | 01:34 |
| Trizicus | is there a gui version of du | 01:34 |
| legend2440 | ZehavaZM: you tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution ? | 01:34 |
| mneptok | ZehavaZM: are you using the nvidia-settings app? | 01:34 |
| ZehavaZM | mneptok yes I am | 01:34 |
| platinumeyes | ZehavaZM, i think u can run nvidia-settings to change the the screenresolution (or at least it can tell u what kind of monitor the gfx-card detected) | 01:34 |
| Trizicus | nvm it's baobab :D | 01:35 |
| xfact | when i am trying to install .deb package of some latest applications, then it saying "Dependency is not satisfiable"...Why? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04) | 01:35 |
| arand | Trizicus: baobab (installed by default, disk usage analyser in accessories) might be worth a try, or gdmap. | 01:35 |
| shai_- | i wish to get the grubs prompt when i start the comp, how to do this cause it skips the screen as if it has 0 second delay before booting. any ideas please ? | 01:36 |
| arand | Tristam: not sure what specifics you're looking for? | 01:36 |
| xfact | Re: when i am trying to install .deb package of some latest applications, then it saying "Dependency is not satisfiable"...Why? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04) | 01:36 |

| AntonyS | I just upgraded to karmic and am now missing all window decorations/controls | 01:37 |
| newsense | i just want to install the ubuntu on my xp | 01:37 |
| ZehavaZM | xrandr shows max resolution for this monitor at 640x480 | 01:37 |
| barnaby_b | AntonyS, you may need the CompizConfig Settings manager | 01:37 |
| platinumeyes | ZehavaZM, well for me it says "LG W2242 (DFP-0), TSB TOSHIBA-TV (CRT-1)" which are my 2 screens | 01:37 |
| ZehavaZM | so I need to tell ubunut what monitor I'm using properly I expect? | 01:37 |
| xfact | when i am trying to install .deb package of some latest applications, then it saying "Dependency is not satisfiable"...Why? (I am using Ubuntu 8.04) | 01:37 |
| ZehavaZM | xfact you do not have some thing it needs to install properly | 01:38 |
| AntonyS | haha | 01:38 |
| ZehavaZM | Okay, so how do I go about telling ubuntu what Monitor I'm using properly? | 01:38 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, the .deb file may require another .deb which your system can't find in the repositories | 01:38 |
| AntonyS | barnaby_b, thanks, you gave me the right direction | 01:38 |
| barnaby_b | :-) glad to help | 01:38 |
| AntonyS | I had compiz settings manager, but just needed to re-run compiz | 01:39 |
| AntonyS | which I did accidentally | 01:39 |
| legend2440 | ZehavaZM: are you using vga cable or dvi? | 01:39 |
| barnaby_b | AntonyS, lol, close enough | 01:39 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: or maybe my Ubuntu version is too old then it's requirement? | 01:39 |
| ZehavaZM | legend2448 VGA cable is all I have available at the moment | 01:39 |
| AntonyS | I was aiming for 'ps -a | grep "compiz"' but did "ps -a | compiz" by mistake | 01:39 |
| xfact | is it possible | 01:39 |
| xfact | ? | 01:39 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, yes, if you're running an older version then it won't have the newer .debs that a recent .deb would look for | 01:40 |
| AntonyS | a small "oh crap" moment.. but it fixed it | 01:40 |
| linux | Hello. The irqpoll trick didn't help - I did see another part of the problem - the boot process includes an error about initramfs and drops to a busybox shell as well | 01:40 |
| * AntonyS tries a reboot to see if window decorations are broken again | 01:40 | |

| occy | Hey guys... When playing World of Warcraft on Ubuntu 9.10, I get odd sound problems. I also can't seem to run Vent without sound getting muted every 5s. Same thing happens when I open WoW... no matter what the mixer is set, the sound goes to 0 and I have to turn it back up. | 01:40 |
| AntonyS | yes, that would have been better ;) | 01:41 |
| legend2440 | ZehavaZM: what make and model monitor? | 01:41 |
| pn2r0k01027poe | know someone how to get default settings in ubuntu ? | 01:41 |
| xfact | Well I am using Ubuntu 8.04 is this version is too old? | 01:41 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, for example, if 8.04 has program X in version 2.01 but the .deb you're trying to install requires version 2.03 of program X... requirements problem | 01:41 |
| asarch | pn2r0k01027poe, just copy the files from /etc/skel to your account | 01:41 |
| ZehavaZM | Samsung SyncMaster 731b | 01:41 |
| AntonyS | argh, now my user switcher panel is missing reboot/etc | 01:41 |

| pn2r0k01027poe | thanks | 01:41 |
| soreau | AntonyS: ps ax|grep compiz.real|grep -v grep <-- for ubuntu ;) | 01:41 |
| xfact | ok which version of ubuntu is most stable currently...? | 01:41 |
| ZehavaZM | 8.10 | 01:41 |
| ZehavaZM | I believe | 01:41 |
| linux | Hello. The irqpoll trick didn't help - I did see another part of the problem - the boot process includes an error about initramfs and drops to a busybox shell as well | 01:41 |
| xfact | but most people saying 9.04 is the most stable... | 01:42 |
| barnaby_b | 8.04 is the LTS, right? It should be good enough for regular use where you're not installing a lot, and some things are "backported" so that you can install them on 8.04 even though they're meant for newer versions... but, yeah, they're up to version 9.10 now | 01:42 |
| soreau | ! lts | xfact | 01:42 |
| ubottu | xfact: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 01:42 |
| Crowler | where did loop.ko go in 2.6.31.14 kernel? | 01:43 |
| chu_ | aka great things will come with Lucid. | 01:43 |
| eAndrius | http://sutas.lt/bitme-org/ anyone? :( please! | 01:43 |
| shai_- | srsly guys ? you don't know to increase the default time of grub before booting or you won't tell me ? :p | 01:43 |
| barnaby_b | besides, what does it mean "most stable"... I'm on 9.10 and it's more stable than Windows ever was for me | 01:43 |
| nate_ | i had audio with firefox now i dont, could someonne help me. | 01:43 |

| chu_ | shai_- start-up manager I think? | 01:43 |
| barnaby_b | shai_-, what're you trying to do? make your grub wait longer? | 01:44 |
| chu_ | startup-manager sorry | 01:44 |
| xfact | But Lucid Lynx 10.04 is already released but not showing here in my software update list..... | 01:44 |
| Crowler | shai_- boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:44 |
| jillsmitt | can i hide out network icon from panel? | 01:44 |
| chu_ | xfact, Lucid is only in its 1st Alpha stage atm, if you're interested head over to #ubuntu+1 | 01:44 |
| * barnaby_b only knows the old-fashioned way to deal with shai_- 's problem ... you just change the number of seconds in the GRUB config ... but there's easy GUI ways by now probably | 01:45 | |
| shai_- | Crowler, that's our issue, the file doesn't exist thx to grub2 | 01:45 |
| shai_- | barnaby_b, yeah i think fun to see the number decreasing in grub on boot :p | 01:45 |
| shai_- | chu i'll try thx | 01:45 |
| chu_ | Yeah, startup-manager is the GUI for all things that occur at startup, like grub, splash-screen etc.. | 01:45 |
| richie0 | holy crap, guys! it worked! i was able to set windows back to normal and repair the mbr. | 01:45 |

| Aleoss | xfact: And what have you come up with thus far? | 01:47 |
| shai_- | barnaby_b, in fact i want to reach the grub prompt as i said ;) | 01:48 |

| shai_- | np ^^ | 01:49 |
| barnaby_b | hhmmm, I probably should reboot to let these kernel updates in though :-/ | 01:49 |
| Aleoss | xfact: And what have you accomplished with solving it so far? Or nothing yet? | 01:49 |
| legend2440 | ZehavaZM: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:49 |
| ZehavaZM | yep, I got it | 01:49 |
| xfact | Aleoss: nothing spacial, someone suggest me to use alsa mixer to check the ports... | 01:50 |
| barnaby_b | ZehavaZM, you can copy and paste from/to the console... just have to use SHIFT and then ctrl+c and ctrl+v | 01:50 |

| barnaby_b | :-p | 02:07 |
| jmyers | can anyone tell me the name of the package that lets you control what grub loads by default via a GUI? | 02:07 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: nice reply! :-/ | 02:08 |
| nohup | hey all... simple question... | 02:08 |
| barnaby_b | WireWulf, that's an increasingly rare problem... have you googled your hardware plus the word Ubuntu to see if there's any workarounds? | 02:08 |
| WireWulf | yo could use some help xorg will not start | 02:08 |
| Synt[a]x | driiiiiiving home for christmas | 02:08 |
| jillsmitt | barnaby_b, nope, i disable system tray, but in main menu... Appearence->Interface->Show icons in menus doent work | 02:08 |
| Aleoss | I think I'll be waiting til Christmas (364 days) til I get an answer? :P | 02:08 |
| nohup | is there a way to keep dhcp configuration to keep it's hands off of my /etc/resolv.conf? | 02:08 |
| alienjeff | omg | 02:08 |
| alienjeff | o/ WireWulf | 02:08 |
| nohup | (i need it to use localhost) | 02:08 |
| Aleoss | I'm seeing tons of people asking questions, but nobody offering answers. :\ | 02:08 |
| Raydiation | how can i check if /etc/init.d/samba starts? | 02:09 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, yeah, the difference is you _can_ beta test the next LTS already, I can't beta test Christmas unless I move to the north pole. | 02:09 |
| Raydiation | i had to start it by hand | 02:09 |
| Synt[a]x | I offer answers to questions i can answer :/ | 02:09 |
| m0ar | Hi guys! The small "sound-icon" in gnome-panel has dissapeared, and the Entry "Sound" in the menu only gives the output "Waiting for system to respond" wich is pretty wierd. How do I enable the sound again? I can't change my volume or anything.. | 02:09 |
| Raydiation | is there some file which shows which daemons will be started on startup? | 02:09 |
| crogue5 | Aleoss: It is the holiday and some of the more knowledgable people might be afk | 02:09 |
| barnaby_b | Aleoss, that's the usual state on IRC | 02:09 |
| Aleoss | Synt[a]x, do you know how I can get 2 audio inputs in and if 1 is unplugged, it uses the other? | 02:09 |
| hiexpo_ | ? how do i stop the wpa_supplicant on ubuntu 9.10 | 02:09 |
| WireWulf | ubuntu will not start i just get a screen of like blackness | 02:09 |
| barnaby_b | Aleoss, and I don't know much about audio so I may not be able to help | 02:09 |
| nate_ | ok i guess i can just do without pandora for a few days.... | 02:10 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: well I hate betas...and yo udo not need to beta test christmas, cause it's been already tested by thousands of people for 1000s of yrs! | 02:10 |
| Synt[a]x | Aleoss, are the inputs on two different devices | 02:10 |
| barnaby_b | WireWulf, it could be a videocard driver problem? are you able to start in safe mode? | 02:10 |
| Aleoss | Synt[a]x, yes. Input into webcam and input into headset. I want the headset to be default and if it doesn't exist, then use webcam. | 02:10 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: You can say Christmas is a stable version of Santa! :D | 02:11 |
| mysphyt | Hey, folks. I'm looking to set up a USB live installer for Ubuntu 9.10, but I only have access to my Mac right now. Does anybody know how I might go about that? I'm running into two roadblocks along two different routes: first, the image files for 9.10 are ISOs, and so I can't just dd them to the USB drive; second, I can't find a Mac version of syslinux so that I can manually make the USB... | 02:11 |
| mysphyt | ...drive bootable. Thoughts? | 02:11 |
| digitalaxis | anyone know what size a MBA780i is? (atx/miniatx/etc) | 02:11 |
| Synt[a]x | Aleoss, the reason it wouldn't work is simply because ALSA can only grab input from one device at once | 02:11 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, you can upgrade 9.10 I'm pretty happy with it. or, if you _really_ need something to work on 8.04 you can have it "backported" | 02:11 |
| Synt[a]x | and if input doesn't exist, the device is still mapped | 02:11 |
| Aleoss | Syntax: Then how do I eliminate the webcam input? | 02:11 |
| Synt[a]x | Aleoss, try messing with the primary sound device | 02:12 |
| Synt[a]x | there should be one for your soundcard and for your webcam | 02:12 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, backporting takes new packages and tries to get them to run on older versions... it often requires recreating a lot of dependancies but it's only 3 or 4 commands for each package | 02:12 |
| Aleoss | Synt[a]x, already did through Sound Preferences. | 02:12 |
| HaskellLove | can you recommend me a graphing calculator for ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| Synt[a]x | Aleoss, if that didn't work then I can't really help any further. I'm not into configuring of ALSA for multiple devices | 02:12 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: to reach to 9.10 I have to run 3 huge updates... 8.10>9.04>9.10 | 02:12 |
| Synt[a]x | sorry | 02:13 |
| Synt[a]x | :( | 02:13 |
| barnaby_b | HaskellLove, you can run Mathematica on Linux... that's a pretty potent graphing calculator | 02:13 |
| Aleoss | HaskelLove: Graphmonkey | 02:13 |
| xfact | very boring process | 02:13 |
| grkblood13 | is there a simple way to remux mkv to mp4? | 02:13 |

| m0ar | Hi guys! The small "sound-icon" in gnome-panel has dissapeared, and the Entry "Sound" in the menu only gives the output "Waiting for system to respond" wich is pretty wierd. How do I enable the sound again? I can't change my volume or anything.. | 02:13 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, yeah... at least upgrading to LTS avoids all the in-between releases | 02:14 |

| nick_h | any idea what could cause vlc's volume to be barely audible, despite at 100% ? | 02:14 |
| m0ar | nick_h: Try "alsamixer" in term and play around | 02:14 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, a fresh install is just as much time as an update... just back up all of your data first | 02:14 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 02:15 |
| rsr | nick_h: have you checked the volume on vlc software as well as system volume? | 02:15 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 02:15 |
| Synt[a]x | netsplit much | 02:15 |
| nick_h | m0ar: the volume's fine in Dragon Player, though | 02:15 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: Hey as you said you are 9.10 user, is there any very spacial differences between 8.04 and 9.10???? | 02:15 |
| Synt[a]x | lol.. | 02:15 |
| nick_h | rsr: both the system volume and vlc's volume are at 100% | 02:15 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, there's some prettier backgrounds :-p | 02:15 |
| === N6-away is now known as N6REJ | ||
| barnaby_b | xfact, and the boot takes HALF as long as it used to | 02:15 |

| xfact | barnaby_b: thats it? :\ | 02:16 |
| bbrooks | trying to access my new installation of vmware server 2.0...its not liking my username and password..anyone know how to access it? | 02:16 |
| nick_h | rsr: nope. the audio from Dragon Player is perfect | 02:16 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, they really did some magic on the boot times... it's really amazing... if you ever reboot that is | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | barnaby_b: and i hear the next release is going to be even faster... | 02:16 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, there's also newer versions of everything (so like a new version of OpenOffice that handles .docx reall well, and some stuff with PDF's) | 02:16 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, there's also a lot of compiz stability (finally) | 02:17 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: I had used 9.10 for few days , it was sexy! but it couldn't connect my internet...so I had to delete it.... | 02:17 |
| nick_h | rsr, m0ar: hrm. i just increased the volume for PCM in alsamixer, and VLC's volume is good now. i wonder why PCM affects VLC but not other apps, such as Dragon Player | 02:17 |
| varsendaggr | checkinstall! | 02:17 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, this is the first time I'm using compiz on my work computer, before it was just full of fail | 02:17 |
| zephry | I'm having difficulties with my wireless card on my other laptop, would anyone be able to try helping me through it? | 02:17 |
| m0ar | Is PulseAudio a requirement for Skype, as they state on their website? ._. | 02:17 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, can't connect to internet? oh, through wireless, or just at all? | 02:17 |
| evanescent | I just formatted a flash disk as ext2 and I can't write to it no matter what I did (I did check the switch on the disk) | 02:18 |
| xfact | no through Ethernet cable...(pppoe) | 02:18 |
| kinja-sheep | !skype | m0ar | 02:18 |
| ubottu | m0ar: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 02:18 |
| barnaby_b | m0ar, if you just install the .dep for skype it hanels all the dependencies for you | 02:18 |
| evanescent | actually nm, I can write to it as root | 02:18 |
| evanescent | but not my rgular user | 02:18 |
| m0ar | barnaby_b: I don't want Pulse, it just screws things up.. | 02:18 |
| evanescent | how do I rectify that | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | evanescent: using a linux filesystem you MUST set the proper ownership/permissions on the device, or sub directries on the device | 02:18 |
| barnaby_b | m0ar, ah, umm I dunno. I have skype and all my sound still "just works" | 02:19 |
| terrorink | anybody know how to set up a mail server ? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | evanescent: so as root make a directory on it. called 'userstuff' or somthing and make that dir owned by the user you want to have access. | 02:19 |
| barnaby_b | m0ar, the reason I don't know much about sound is because I've never had to tinker with it really | 02:19 |
| xfact | barnaby_b: My connection was LAN based with dialup...that was doing problem on 9.10....! | 02:19 |
| barnaby_b | terrorink, yes. DON'T DO IT! | 02:19 |
| terrorink | why not | 02:19 |
| barnaby_b | terrorink, just use gmail | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | evanescent: or chown/chmod the mountpoint to be owned by the user. | 02:19 |
| Scott__ | is there a moderater in here | 02:19 |
| m0ar | barnaby_b: Okay, I guess I'll try :) You have any idea of where my sound-icon in the panel went, and why the soundsettings only gives me "Waiting for system to respond"? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Scott__: thers several ops in here. | 02:19 |
| Scott__ | i have a qustion for them | 02:19 |
| xfact | terrorink: if it's mail account then can help you... | 02:20 |
| barnaby_b | terrorink, because it takes time, and maintenance, and your time is probably more valuable to you | 02:20 |
| barnaby_b | terrorink, at least that's my experience | 02:20 |
| terrorink | ......... im making a war server for fun | 02:20 |

| xfact | hummm..out of range! | 02:20 |
| barnaby_b | ah for "fun" ... yeah, sounds like xfact can help. I did my own mailserver once and from now on I'm happy to pay for it | 02:21 |
| terrorink | and yea i did get ur emails xfact | 02:21 |
| snake | hiexpo: what version of Ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| chu_ | Does anyone know much about the menu bar panel applet? Like, if I can remove the logo? | 02:21 |
| xfact | oops! then i hope you understand how horrible i am feeling with ubuntu!!! | 02:22 |
| terrorink | lol | 02:22 |
| terrorink | yea | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: theres some alterantivces to that applet. You could just find the icon (i think its a svg file) and rename/change it so its not loaded.. | 02:22 |
| barnaby_b | chu_, there's a lot of gnome theme modification tips across the internet... is that what you're looking for | 02:22 |
| hiexpo_ | oh sorry 9.10 | 02:22 |
| xfact | it's like I am kidnaped from Windows land..and left in here...meddle of nowhere...! | 02:23 |

| xfact | but ih vae to say Ubuntu is sexy! | 02:24 |
| snake | hiexpo_: okay system administration and system monitor then processes and it should be in there somewhere. | 02:24 |
| chu_ | Dr_Willis, I really like the text style, i.e. "Applications Places System". My problem is the whole forcing panel size to be 24 pixels, I've seen some tutorials for changing the image, but was wanting to remove it all together. If I can point it to an image that doesn't exist, is that likely to load nothing? | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Sexy Penguins | 02:24 |
| terrorink | epic fail !!!!!!!! | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: err.. I thought ive enlarged the panel height and the icons rescaled to the higer image. thats the point of the svg icon | 02:25 |
| Gnimsh | Hi, I'm having problems with calibre dependencies. Jaunty has pyqt 4.4.4 installed but I need 4.6.1. If I install 4.6.1 for the karmic/lucid package, will it screw up my system? | 02:25 |
| xfact | and the sexy 'hole' sign of ubuntu...reminds me something else! :D | 02:25 |
| terrorink | is 9.10 server stable ? | 02:25 |
| barnaby_b | xfact, even without all the eye candy, I'm still happy with the basics of Ubuntu, for the same reason I'd be happy with the basics on Mac OS X... it's stable and reliable | 02:25 |
| barnaby_b | and for my work in software development, it's so much more pleasant than developing on Windows ever was | 02:25 |
| terrorink | amen | 02:26 |

| barnaby_b | xfact, you will :-) have you looked into hanging out with other Ubuntu users in your area? | 02:26 |
| xfact | but now still having probs and need solutions ... | 02:26 |
| barnaby_b | like going to a LUG, or Ubuntu Loco team meatup? | 02:26 |
| chu_ | It does, problem is it won't allow any images less than 24x24 pixels. There are some tutorials on the internet which explain how to change it with gconf (and I changed it to a transparent image, but now I just have a blank space, obviously :p), and using gconf I don't think it places the same restrictions (I believe it is ubuntu-tweak which tells me I can't use an image too small...) | 02:26 |
| terrorink | does anybody wanna give me a shell so i can play with my war server ? | 02:26 |
| barnaby_b | terrorink, you mean like the one under applications->accessories-> terminal??? | 02:27 |

| m0ar | My sound icon in the gnomepanel dissapeared, and I can't change my volume with the hotkeys, only through alsamixer.. Any ideas? | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: i dont worry about the image.. so no idea. i do recall some alternative applets taht can replace the whole 3 menus with like one single submenu setup. but i dont consider it worth worrying about | 02:27 |
| snake | #! /usr/bin/python : when i run my program it ideas how i could fixsays that this isnt a valid identifyer bc it doesnt exist then when io checked to see if it was there it was any | 02:28 |
| Gnimsh | m0ar, right click and choose add to panel | 02:28 |
| barnaby_b | dare, I haven't rebooted since I installed 9.04, and I do 8 hours of hacking on it every day | 02:28 |
| barnaby_b | anyway.... I should get going. Cheers everybody. Happy Holidays everybody | 02:28 |
| terrorink | no i mean a remote shell account | 02:28 |
| Gnimsh | m0ar, then add the volumen control applet and drag it back | 02:28 |
| m0ar | Gnimsh: Doesn't exist in there :C | 02:28 |
| dare | idk.. after 3-5 days everything starts hiccuping | 02:28 |
| chu_ | There is the main menu applet which replaces the three menus in one smaller menu with no text and just an icon, but I was kinda hoping for the other way around. :( | 02:28 |
| Gnimsh | does too | 02:29 |
| snake | #! /usr/bin/python : when i run my program it says that this isnt a valid identifyer bc it doesnt exist then when io checked to see if it was there it was any ideas how i could fix | 02:29 |

| ardnew | sharif: that is an extremely common error with mysql installations. google that error message and you will find your answer | 03:12 |
| ben64 | Synt[a]x, how do i know what that is | 03:12 |
| modumass | um, accidentaly deleted my boot partician | 03:12 |
| modumass | have booted from a knopix live cd, as that was the only live cd i could find, coulnt find an ubuntu one | 03:12 |
| modumass | hmm, can i burrn one from knopix? | 03:12 |
| modumass | brb | 03:12 |
| Synt[a]x | urrrrrrrr | 03:12 |
| FloodBot4 | modumass: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:12 |
| ardnew | sharif: you probably just need to start your mysql server | 03:12 |
| terrorink | whats the deal with cloud one ? | 03:12 |
| Synt[a]x | ben64, you could try booting into a livecd running gparted to find out, then use grub-install <drive> once oyu know what it is | 03:12 |
| Synt[a]x | and that should solve the problem | 03:12 |
| perdente | sharif, I mean that's saying your mysql socket is down but I don't see why that'd be | 03:13 |
| perdente | sharif, have you been running mysql for a while or did you just install it? | 03:13 |
| modumass | sweet | 03:13 |
| chu_ | I had some problems installing karmic when it was first released too, both trying to upgrade from Jaunty and then trying to upgrade a vanilla Karmic beta install.. I don't remember when it was, but I updated a while back and everything's been sweet since. Don't think there are any problems with Karmic anymore. | 03:13 |
| ben64 | Synt[a]x, well what i mean is, do i put /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda or (hd0) or what | 03:13 |
| modumass | how do i create a boot partician? | 03:13 |
| modumass | or why do i have so many boot particians? | 03:13 |
| Gnimsh | cool maybe I should give it a try | 03:13 |
| Synt[a]x | ben64, are you on a livecd right now | 03:13 |
| terrorink | cloud one ? | 03:13 |
| Gnimsh | chu_ I think I may try installing to a thumbdrive first just to make sure | 03:13 |
| ben64 | Synt[a]x, no, laptop. the computer in question is my desktop | 03:13 |
| Synt[a]x | ben64, boot up a live cd on your desktop, open a terminal and try sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 03:14 |
| Synt[a]x | see if it fixes your problem | 03:14 |

| Gnimsh | ? | 03:15 |

| chu_ | Gnimsh, do you have a separate /home partition? Makes life pretty easy really.. I have some simple bash scripts which perform an update/restore, for things like fstab, sources.list, and the backup script exports a list of installed packages which gets imported in the restore script etc. Pretty easy. | 03:15 |

| adante | hi gusy, can someone recommend a place to get help? | 03:46 |

| ubottu | adante: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 03:47 |
| adante | drat, ok | 03:47 |
| russianzilla | ardchoille: It's not that I haven't, it's just that what I've found hasn't been promising, and I was just looking for any suggestions people might have. | 03:47 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: I am looking for a media player that looks similar to Winamp and supports .flac, .mp3, mp4, .wav, .mid, .xm | 03:47 |
| Gaming4JC | lol :P | 03:47 |
| adante | can anybody recommend some forums or mailing list other than ubuntuforums.org? | 03:47 |
| SETKEH | IdleOne, how do i start the jack server ??? | 03:47 |
| amaretto4u | Aleoss: xmms | 03:47 |
| nfoxTc | Sorry about that guys | 03:48 |
| Gaming4JC | adante: I don't know any active linux forums, if you find one let me know :D | 03:48 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: Try audacious, I use it with the winamp themes | 03:48 |
| amaretto4u | Aleoss: or audacious | 03:48 |
| poseidon | hmmm, it was escape. it just boots into os a lot quicker than any other computer I've ever had. Guess that's a good thing though :) | 03:48 |
| Aleoss | So... sudo su && apt-get -y install audacious && apt-get update | 03:48 |
| * Gaming4JC goes to reboot ubuntu in one last attempt of gfx on this worthless .16 kernel | 03:48 | |
| m0ar | I need help fixing my sound, the small icon in the panel has dissapeared and can't be added by gnome-volume-control-applet or via "App to Panel"-menu.. Any ideas? | 03:48 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: no | 03:49 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: Errr? Then what? | 03:49 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: there is no need to sudo su. just: sudo apt-get install audacious | 03:49 |
| cennin | test | 03:49 |
| amaretto4u | Aleoss: sudo apt-get install audacious2 | 03:49 |
| Aleoss | Ya, same thing. | 03:49 |
| ardchoille | amaretto4u: I wasn't aware of any audacious2 | 03:49 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: um, no, it's not the same thing | 03:50 |
| Aleoss | Yep, audacious2 exists. | 03:50 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: How so? | 03:50 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: there is no need to keep a su shell, just use sudo and bee done with it | 03:50 |
| bazhang | !info audacious2 | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Package audacious2 does not exist in karmic | 03:50 |
| ardchoille | bazhang: I thought so | 03:50 |
| bazhang | Aleoss, its audacious, not audacious2 | 03:51 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: I've been installing a bunch of stuff, so I may as well say logged in root instead of logging in and out constantly. | 03:51 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: that is a very bad idea, and it's not supported | 03:51 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: How is it a bad idea? | 03:51 |
| bazhang | Aleoss, sudo -i is the recommended method | 03:52 |
| bazhang | Aleoss, best to just use sudo though | 03:52 |
| m0ar | bazhang: What does -i ? :) | 03:52 |
| Aleoss | bazhang: And why is that? What security risks are there? | 03:52 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: a locked root account can't be brute forced :) | 03:52 |
| amaretto4u | ardchoille, so if i have audacious2 - i have old version? | 03:53 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: And who would be brute forcing it? | 03:53 |
| ardchoille | amaretto4u: no idea, never heard of it | 03:53 |

| amaretto4u | ardchoille: :D but i have "2" :D | 03:53 |
| m0ar | Aleoss: It's the principe. Do you want to be an ass on purpose when there are simple ways to use Sudo correctly? | 03:53 |
| x_ | my desktops cube is actully not a cube it is a flick! can someone tell me where can i change the number of desktops | 03:53 |
| m0ar | x_: ccsm | 03:54 |

| joanne | hello folks | 03:54 |
| x_ | i already have it m0ar | 03:54 |
| x_ | then? | 03:54 |
| joanne | I am really new to this and am looking for some help | 03:54 |
| m0ar | joanne: Ask away, don't ask to ask | 03:55 |
| joanne | I am trying to get a Sansa Connect to talk to my Ubuntu laptop | 03:55 |
| joanne | and am getting nowhere. I'm running jaunty jackalope, and have rythymbox installed. | 03:55 |
| peepsalot | what happened to ctrl-alt-backspace in karmic? | 03:55 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: Nobody uses this computer except me. Also, nobody on my network knows a damn thing about computers other than browsing the web. | 03:55 |
| m0ar | x_: Tick in desktop cube, Rotate Cube. Done that? | 03:55 |
| bazhang | m0ar, the -i option is simulate initial login, from man sudo and recommended should more than just sudo be needed | 03:55 |
| ardchoille | !dontzap | peepsalot | 03:55 |
| ubottu | peepsalot: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 03:55 |
| m0ar | Aleoss: You still want to be dumb on purpose when there is an intelligent solution aviable? | 03:56 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: think of all the billions of people you are connected to when online | 03:56 |
| Aleoss | m0ar: It isn't being an ass, it is asking: Why. If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you too instead of asking why they are? | 03:56 |
| x_ | yes i did.. however when i rotate the cube | 03:56 |
| x_ | only a paper comes up | 03:56 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: using sudo instead of logging into the root account is just much safer. Trust me, I have been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu since 2005.. and I'm a security minded person | 03:57 |
| m0ar | x_: Oh, sorry.. General Options in CCSM -> Desktop Size | 03:57 |
| joanne | <m0ar> can you help walk me through this (this is the first time I've ever logged onto IRC. Sorta confusing with so many conversations running at one time.) | 03:57 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: And? I highly doubt that the root account is accessable via internet port by default. That in itself would be a security risk. | 03:57 |
| peepsalot | thanks ardchoille | 03:58 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: ok, it's your system. you have been made aware of the risks and of the proper security model. The choice is yours. | 03:58 |
| ardchoille | peepsalot: yw | 03:58 |
| m0ar | joanne: Check private message | 03:58 |
| d9500 | x_, if you're using the conventional gnome desktop environment on your system, there should also be an applet on the right side of the lower gnome panel that lets you select the number of virtual desktops | 03:58 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | Aleoss This will explain a lot | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Aleoss This will explain a lot: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 03:58 |
| x_ | AHA M0AR | 03:59 |
| m0ar | x_: Desktop on top and bottom isn't possible, but you can set an image of choice there instead. Check the settings of "Cube Reflection and Deformation" -> Apperance | 03:59 |
| x_ | THANKS A BUNCH | 03:59 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: Not like I have anything of importance on my computer. I'd rather have the ease of use than some extra security. I'm not hosting any servers or have any credit card information on it. | 03:59 |
| ardchoille | There's a reason that veteran Linux users only use the root account when actually necessary | 03:59 |
| m0ar | x_: np np, glad to be helpful | 04:00 |
| m0ar | x_: Anything else? | 04:00 |

| rxvt | I have a wireless USB headset, the pulseaudio fails as far as the mic goes i have tested it with mumble to make. how can i get the mic to work? | 04:08 |
| DrMax_ | yo | 04:08 |
| princeofgiri | rxvt, have you been test for recording ? | 04:08 |
| DrMax_ | I installed Koala on my Dell mini 10 and the book fails to mount / | 04:09 |
| iloveubuntu | u cant find me everytime | 04:09 |
| poseidon | I'm installing the 64-bit ubuntu karmic on my new laptop. Anything different I should be aware of? | 04:09 |
| DrMax_ | with sudo mount -o remount,rw / in recovery, it eventually boots, but is there a *permanent* fix to this ? | 04:09 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: Here are four good skins: http://sites.google.com/site/ardchoille42/sandbox | 04:10 |
| Aleoss | Thanks ardchoille. | 04:10 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: yw | 04:10 |
| DrMax_ | I have an error "waiting for (null)" or "waiting for /tmp" | 04:10 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: You should be able to just install those through the audcaious themes gui | 04:10 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: I want to confirm something as well... Audacious is a "front end" to XMMS2. Correct? | 04:11 |
| rxvt | thats one reaseon i have been doing it yes | 04:11 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: no, I don't have xmms2 installed at all, you can remove it if you are happy with audacious | 04:11 |
| raskolnik | poseidon: different from what? | 04:11 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: Okay... one other thing too. | 04:11 |
| Aleoss | ardchoille: (09:53:08 PM) amaretto4u: ardchoille, so if i have audacious2 - i have old version? | 04:12 |
| ardchoille | Aleoss: I have no idea what audacious2 is | 04:12 |
| frogzoo | hmm if the screenlock can warn when capslock is on, why not numlock also? grrr | 04:12 |
| princeofgiri | rxvt, so you can record your microphone. mmm.. how about open gstreamer-properties, on default input, klick test, and test your microphone | 04:12 |
| poseidon | Are there any particular programs which are are notoriously bad with 64bit support? | 04:12 |
| mazda01 | ex 100 i meant | 04:12 |
| frogzoo | poseidon: not anymore | 04:12 |
| mazda01 | need to get recommendations for a KVM switch that will work without hassle with my brand new logitech eX 100 wireless keyboard and mouse | 04:12 |
| princeofgiri | poseidon, I can't found symphony on 64bit :) | 04:13 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: cyclades just work - get an IP KVM for choice | 04:13 |
| rxvt | ok, this is were your going to hate me, im actually an archlinux user. but this is the place to come as far as getting help with pulseaudio <_< | 04:13 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: oh wireless kvm? gl with that | 04:13 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, do you have a link to a website maybe. | 04:13 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: you want a link to google? | 04:14 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, no, not a wireless kvm, a kvm that can work with a wireless keyboard/mouse that has a USB interface | 04:14 |
| princeofgiri | rxvt, I think I have same problem with you.. but in ubuntu karmic. in jaunty it's work fine | 04:14 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, no, sorry. :-) | 04:14 |
| rxvt | ah i see. | 04:14 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: yeah, usb is going to be problematic maybe | 04:14 |
| raskolnik | poseidon: the only thing I've really had a problem with is flash, which can be iffy...everything else seems to work fine (that I've tried, at least) | 04:14 |
| princeofgiri | rxvt, and it's been 3 days I cannot jamming my guitar with linux | 04:15 |
| amaretto4u | Aleoss: i'we checked - audacious is same audacious2 :: package is "audacius", but installed executable file in /usr/bin is "audacious2" | 04:15 |
| LordHawke13 | \/j #grub | 04:15 |
| poseidon | raskolnik, I've heard there is now a 64-bit flash for linux. Have you tried it? | 04:15 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, 16 or 32 port connections, holy carp!! i am not running a server room. i only have 2 computers | 04:15 |
| princeofgiri | raskolnik, I'm use ubuntu karmic 64 now. but its work fine with flash player | 04:16 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: they have a wide range, but they're not the cheapest | 04:16 |
| rxvt | well this is an issue i do plan to reslove, i plan to do so with in the hour... | 04:16 |
| m0ar | raskolnik: Flash is fine for 64 bit | 04:16 |
| raskolnik | it works mostly, but I have had the occasional thing refuse to play | 04:16 |
| raskolnik | and I had issues with it not recognizing the keyboard at one point | 04:17 |
| LordHawke13 | How do I update to the latest GRUB? | 04:17 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, i have a PS/2 to male usb, do they make a PS/2 to usb female? because I already have a iogear PS/2 kvm switch that I use now with an ancient Rosewell Wireless Keyboard/Mouse but I just got a new logitech ex100 wireless keyboard/mouse | 04:17 |

| mazda01 | frogzoo, i see that USB isn't the best choice. i can't believe though that more people don't use a wireless usb keyboard/mouse with a kvm switch | 04:20 |
| princeofgiri | ipatrol, I have some documentation, but in Indonesian language. :) | 04:20 |

| LordHawke13 | !grub | 04:22 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 04:22 |

| ddelony | !package | 04:22 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 04:22 |

| TEEDEV||CHAI | Welcome Back......... | 04:24 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, as long as usb keyboard/mice have been around, i figured there'd be a decent consumer kvm for them | 04:24 |
| ZehavaZM | I just got a new monitor, had to reconfigure X to make it work. It finally works decent, BUT every time I restart it goes back to an old resolution, not the one I want. | 04:24 |
| ZehavaZM | How can I set it to keep my current resolution as default? | 04:25 |
| ddelony | ipatrol: I don't know much about packaging myself. | 04:25 |
| ipatrol | ZehavaZM: Startup script? | 04:25 |
| ZehavaZM | ipatrol might have to | 04:26 |
| ipatrol | ddelony: I just want to make a .deb that creates a few files and folders, places the program in a certain spot, and allow it to be called with one word and tosssed around with apt | 04:27 |
| lao5 | how to solve "usb 3-2 : device not accepting address 2 - error -71", thx. | 04:27 |
| ipatrol | !deb | 04:27 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 04:27 |
| frogzoo | mazda01: let me know if you find a kvm that supports usb - never seen one | 04:27 |
| DaZ | ipatrol: if you don't care about package dependencies you can use checkinstall [; | 04:27 |
| DaZ | if you want to do it the right way get some src.debs and analyze | 04:28 |
| ipatrol | DaZ: But that doesn't work for distribution, so I fo care about dependencies | 04:28 |
| mazda01 | frogzoo, here ya go, www.google.com. just kidding, here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817107415 | 04:28 |

| LordHawke13 | I have Windows installed in a partition and I restored GRUB. | 04:39 |
| ddelony | ipatrol: A lot of Ubuntu developers also contribute to Debian. | 04:39 |
| SoftwareExplorer | poseidonpp: To make the icon appear try Alt-F2 "gksudo killall nm-applet" and then Alt-F2 "nm-applet" | 04:39 |
| LordHawke13 | No I upgraded from Jaunty. | 04:39 |
| poseidonpp | thanks. connected via dhclient though :) | 04:39 |
| ipatrol | ddelony: I was just afraid I made some sort of faux pas | 04:39 |
| LordHawke13 | The GRUB I restored still had the setting before I deleted another Linux partition so it still gives me the option to boot to the second Linux OS (which no longer exists) but no option to boot to Windows. | 04:40 |
| clearzen | I just installed the netbook remix of 9.04 and it will not see the ethernet port. Any idea how I can find the chipset so I can track down a driver | 04:40 |

| poseidonpp | I'm so excited to get ubuntu install. I got my laptop then my parents made me spend the rest of the day fixing their comp with xp because my dad got a virus from pron. | 04:43 |

| bastid_raZor | LordHawke13: if you're using the old grub manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:43 |

| poseidonpp | What's up with this? | 04:44 |
| bastid_raZor | clearzen: lspci in a terminal | 04:44 |
| poseidonpp | Is this from my oem install, or standard with windows 7 | 04:44 |

| grendal_prime | well i would like to browse to a web site that has a trailer that i would like and then download the trailer onto my local machine. then i coould set up a playlist that just plays those trailers over and over all day. | 04:51 |
| chu_ | Are you running linux? | 04:51 |
| grendal_prime | i was thinking that i could do it with like some plugin for vlc...but i havent found anything that seems to work. | 04:51 |

| peepsalot | frogzoo, i don't see anything about nouveau or nvidia in that output. the driver is SGI? | 05:01 |
| ChiYang | ddelony, this post mentions the 1008HA but the issue and fix should apply to you too, for some reason asus decided to ship this model without the drivers but with the necessary hardware: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=586803#p586803 | 05:01 |
| frogzoo | ah well, maybe take a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:01 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:17 |

| MenZa | benjgvps: It depends on KDE, and it is a bit more advanced than notepad. | 05:18 |
| benjgvps | peepsalot: No clue, I installed it overtop of a cli install | 05:18 |
| MenZa | (Unless, of course, peepsalot has a point -- if lxde has a text editor, there's no point in installing kdelibs) | 05:19 |
| muhammad_ | can i ask, ubuntu 9.10 to install updates and then shutdown by itself? | 05:19 |
| ardchoille | iirc, lxde does have an editor | 05:19 |
| peepsalot | benjgvps, try running leafpad, it may already be installed | 05:19 |
| MenZa | Leafpad is, indeed, the default lxde text editor | 05:19 |

| Aleoss | Is there a way to fix this? | 05:20 |
| MenZa | muhammad_: You can do so from a terminal -- the following would install all updates, then shut down if the updates are successful: sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo halt | 05:20 |
| benjgvps | Aleoss: Try changing the battery or moving the reciever closer | 05:20 |

| LucidPerry | om26er_: Install from terminal...isn't that basically the same thing? wget--> tar xzf? | 05:54 |
| bleepbloop | DaZ: so if i downloaded the 9.10 UNR they have on the front page, i got the netinstall option? | 05:54 |

It's similar to the dmraid problem one gets with a fresh install to a dmraid in Intrepid or Jaunty, except I already fixed that problem and my system was working. During my last update, the modules loaded by initramfs were either changed or deleted entirely. Since I don't know what modules Jaunty loads by default, I don't know what I should add to /etc/in | 05:56 |

| mcurran | Yes, so you mean if someone logs out and then back in while it is poisoned, it will be picked up? | 06:46 |
| saica | blistov: "dmraid -r -E" (this will destroy all raid metadata, and all other data on the drives) | 06:46 |
| bleepbloop | Snausages: huh? | 06:47 |
| saica | jaza: hm... i don't know much about windows' partitioning scheme.. have you tried partitioning with something 3rd party? | 06:48 |
| Tesssa | did the upgrade from 9.4 to 9.10 and lost the sound any idea why please it worked perfect in 9.4 | 06:48 |
| bleepbloop | Snausages: ohhh you mean my issue? | 06:48 |
| jaza | no have not tried that yet, i don have partition magic 8?? | 06:48 |

| mcurran | Tesssa did you happen to install pulseaudio? If you did, remove it. | 06:49 |
| Broly | can somebody help me figure out how to force a resolution using nvidia drivers | 06:49 |
| saica | Tesssa: I had the same problem. looks like the dev teams for pulseaudio and udev didn't take eachother into consideration. | 06:49 |
| mcurran | Broly: nvidia-settings and then use it to overwrite xorg.conf (not merge) | 06:49 |
| Tesssa | i dont knw i just followed the upgrade instructions | 06:49 |
| saica | Tesssa: rather than surrender to the bug, you can make new rules for udev that solve the problem | 06:49 |
| Broly | mcurran: problem is monitor is a cheap tv, i don't think its reporting any edid info | 06:50 |
| saica | Tesssa: pulseaudio is installed by default, as it was installed on your previous version of Ubuntu. | 06:50 |
| Broly | mcurran: but i know it will do much higher than it is | 06:50 |
| mcurran | Broly: You could try manually editing xorg, try googling for someone who posted theirs with the same monitor/model | 06:51 |
| mcurran | Also, why ask for a howto, and then say it's impossible, just don't ask... | 06:51 |
| Tesssa | so why have they changed it in 9.10 | 06:51 |
| kinja-sheep | Broly: Try TwinView. It soemtimes worked without EDID> | 06:52 |
| SoftwareExplorer | I'm working on writing a how to on RGBA gtk. I would like to put it on wiki.ubuntu.org Is there a 'correct' place to put it? | 06:52 |
| jaza | saica: do you think that the installation has anything to do with having a dynamic disk?? | 06:52 |
| mcurran | Tesssa pulseaudio has seemed to be on and off with each release for the past two years. | 06:52 |
| mcurran | it's a reoccurring issue | 06:52 |
| Broly | mcurran: I've tried editing xorg.conf but it still wont let me pick a resolution higher than 640x480 | 06:52 |
| david_ | Would it be reasonable to have one home directory accessed by two separate linux installations? | 06:52 |
| bleepbloop | Snausages: my issue is that I've been trying to create a bootable usb stick with unetbootin, but although everything seems to go fine, it doesnt seem to want to start from the usb stick :-/ | 06:53 |
| mcurran | Well I'm sure you could at least go to 800x600 Broly - Take a look around the net | 06:53 |
| mcurran | What monitor r u using | 06:53 |
| Broly | kinja-sheep: what do you mean by try TwinView. as in twinview options in xorg.conf | 06:53 |
| Tesssa | oh and as far as making new rules i havent a clue how to not into command line | 06:53 |
| saica | Tesssa: create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd/%K" | 06:53 |
| Broly | mcurran: its a cheap 19" emerson | 06:54 |
| mcurran | Anyone else have an issue dual-booting XP - I get the TRAP 00000006 EXCEPTION and I tried reinstalling XP twice now, and no go... | 06:54 |
| Broly | mcurran: i know it will do 1440x900. I can get that using my laptop in windows | 06:54 |
| kinja-sheep | Broly: In NVIDIA X Server Settings --> On the said monitor, select Configure... TwinView. | 06:54 |
| saica | Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end. create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd | 06:54 |
| saica | Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end. | 06:54 |
| saica | create a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd | 06:54 |
| rbh | has anyone gotten a formerly LVM Fedora box to successfully recognize all drives on Ubuntu? I used the alternative CD to get LVM2 | 06:55 |
| saica | Tesssa: CORRECTION! Don't capitalize the k at the end "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-fixes.rules" with this line: SUBSYSTEM=="sound", SYMLINK+="snd/%k" | 06:55 |
| saica | there we go... | 06:55 |
| Broly | kinja-sheep: twinview is grayed out | 06:56 |
| kinja-sheep | Broly: Oh. :< | 06:56 |
| mwagner | david: you should look into NIS or LDAP | 06:56 |
| saica | jaza: yes. gparted doesn't want to break your windows installation, so it won't repartition your dynamic disk... | 06:56 |
| Microcosm | omg gnome | 06:57 |
| benjgvps | What a nice tool, an open source tool that doesn't want to break your windows installation | 06:57 |
| Tesssa | so if i wait untill 10.4 comes out and i install that will it have sorted the sound out as i dont know how to or want to go into command line i am a wimdowa user on my other HD | 06:57 |
| saica | lol benjvps | 06:57 |
| Broly | kinja-sheep: got any other ideas, I've tried editing xorg.conf several different ways but it doesn't see to change anything | 06:58 |
| saica | Tesssa: Unfortunately these things happen in the open source world... one development team does not necessarily coordintate with another when it should.. and the end user has to take things into their own hands.. | 06:59 |
| kinja-sheep | Broly: You could try #nvidia too. | 06:59 |
| Tesssa | ah well if that is the case it will be win7 for me | 06:59 |
| Tesssa | but i do like xubuntu | 06:59 |
| saica | Tesssa: I hate to see anyone give up, although I've been close myself a few times... If you really do like any branch of ubuntu, report your problems on LaunchPad (ubuntu's bug tracker). Sooner or later, a solution will come. | 07:01 |
| DryGrain | omg | 07:01 |
| Soslas | hey | 07:02 |
| DryGrain | im trying to figure out the TomTom gps i got for xmas | 07:02 |
| bleepbloop | sup | 07:02 |
| DryGrain | it runs linux | 07:02 |
| Soslas | how do i install the root system? | 07:02 |
| Soslas | i want to have the root user | 07:02 |
| DryGrain | but the software to update your maps rtc is only in win and mac | 07:02 |
| DryGrain | i installed X11Basic onn it | 07:02 |
| DryGrain | :D | 07:02 |
| saica | Soslas: in ubuntu? are you sure about that? (sudo, sudo su, etc are available) | 07:02 |
| bleepbloop | whenever i try to boot ubuntu UNR 9.10 from the usb stick that i formatted for booting with unetbootin, i end up getting ubuntu's version of the 'spinning ball of death' | 07:02 |
| Soslas | saica: yes i use a livecd and its a must | 07:03 |
| kcj1993 | spinning ball of death? | 07:03 |
| DryGrain | I'm having some permissions issues however, and came in for a chmod question | 07:03 |
| RobbieAB | Ok, taken a quick look at ubuntu.com... | 07:03 |
| DryGrain | How do I unclude all files in all subfolders witch chmod | 07:03 |
| RobbieAB | What version of the kernel is current in the most recent ubuntu? I couldn't find it quickly there | 07:03 |
| DryGrain | I want to make every file readable and writeable by all users on the gps | 07:03 |
| benjgvps | Woah, well I got 1024x768 to show up | 07:03 |
| benjgvps | Though now the screen scrools | 07:04 |
| benjgvps | scrolls* | 07:04 |
| bleepbloop | kcj1993: yeah the grey circle with notches in it that spins around | 07:04 |
| saica | Soslas: Are you saying you want to be able to log out of "ubuntu" and log into "root" or boot directly to "root" on the livecd? | 07:04 |
| bleepbloop | sort of, i guess | 07:04 |
| Soslas | saica: no i am trying an ssh connection to that machine but want to log in to the root user | 07:05 |
| Soslas | anyway it must be enabled | 07:05 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Soslas: You could add an authorized public key | 07:06 |
| Soslas | no way | 07:06 |
| Soslas | sudo passwd root | 07:06 |
| Soslas | is this enough? | 07:06 |
| giantpune | hey guys, i just got the grub error "you need to load the kernel first" any way to fix it if i cant even get into ubuntu? | 07:06 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Soslas: The public key method is safer | 07:06 |
| cjae | !reader | 07:06 |
| Soslas | SoftwareExplorer: look i am normally an archlinux user | 07:06 |
| saica | Soslas: does that allow you to specify a password? | 07:06 |
| Soslas | SoftwareExplorer: so i wont mess up | 07:07 |
| mota_ | hi can someone tell me why when I google something linkd comes up? | 07:07 |

| Tesssa | where would i find Launchpad saica | 07:09 |
| benjgvps | Weird, I got 1024x768 to work, though my monitor is still at 800x600 and scrolls around | 07:09 |
| DryGrain | ok guys. how do I apply chmod to all subfolders and files? | 07:09 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Tesssa: launchpad.net | 07:10 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: chmod -R | 07:10 |
| DryGrain | thanks! | 07:11 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: You're welcome :) | 07:11 |
| Broly | benjgvps: are you having trouble getting a resolution you want to? | 07:12 |
| DryGrain | Hmm, it says Read only file system | 07:12 |
| DryGrain | i did it in a root console | 07:12 |
| benjgvps | Broly: Yeah | 07:12 |
| DryGrain | D: | 07:12 |
| zerwas | bendsinister> that's called virtual resolution | 07:12 |
| benjgvps | zerwas: Yeah, though I know this monitor can do it | 07:12 |
| zerwas | benjgvps> that's called virtual resolution | 07:12 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: What does it say when you run "mount" | 07:12 |
| prathap | Is Linux needed graphic card ? | 07:12 |
| Broly | benjgvps: sounds like my problem. Are you using nvidia drivers? | 07:13 |
| benjgvps | Broly: Nah, the card is a rage128 | 07:13 |
| benjgvps | in an old iMac G3 | 07:13 |
| DryGrain | /dev/sdb1 on /media/INTERNAL type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) | 07:13 |
| DryGrain | thats the relevant entry SoftwareExplorer | 07:13 |
| DryGrain | its a tomtom gps unit | 07:14 |
| Katie | Hey, is anyone running an ATI card here with S-Video out as primary? | 07:14 |
| rejohn | What sw is good for being able to make notes on a text file (or html page) while reading it? Highlighting with colors, underlining, commenting, writing in "margins", etc?? Thanks :) | 07:14 |
| prathap | Is Linux needed graphic card ? | 07:14 |
| Broly | benjgvp: how are you changing settings? | 07:15 |
| benjgvps | Broly: xrandr | 07:15 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: It's a fat32 filesystem. Fat32 doesn't support permissions. (Yes, I have made the same mistake, and it took me about an hour to figure out why it wouldn't work) | 07:15 |
| DryGrain | well that odd then | 07:16 |
| DryGrain | i get permissions errors on it | 07:16 |
| DryGrain | when i try to save map preferences | 07:16 |
| Katie | I'm trying to set up my box as a dvr, and I'm able to get S-video to work as dualscreen (not clone) but not primary. | 07:16 |
| benjgvps | Is there any other way to change resolutions than xrandr? | 07:16 |
| Broly | benjgvps: i've found somthing that says use cvt to get a string for your res and then use xrandr to set that mode | 07:16 |
| DryGrain | the unit itslf runs the linux kernel, but the software to interface with it is win/mac exclusive | 07:16 |
| benjgvps | Broly: That's what I've done | 07:16 |
| Broly | but it won't accept anything | 07:17 |
| saica | so I'm going to try the solution here http://chevdor.blogspot.com/2009/06/installing-ubuntu-on-raid10-sata-array.html | 07:17 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: Maybe I was wrong. It could be ntfs. | 07:17 |
| benjgvps | Hmm | 07:17 |
| benjgvps | This is very frustrating | 07:17 |
| Broly | yep | 07:17 |
| * SoftwareExplorer goes to google | 07:17 | |
| benjgvps | Though this has been the closest thing to working | 07:17 |
| Broly | using 9.10? | 07:17 |
| benjgvps | Broly: 9.04 | 07:17 |
| DryGrain | :/ | 07:17 |
| saica | but the code looks a little funny to me... | 07:18 |
| Broly | i've also been trying to edit xorg.conf but it doesn't seem to do anything | 07:19 |
| * saica really needs to solve his own problems before handing out any more "advice" | 07:19 | |
| benjgvps | This is depressing, Mac OS 9 was able to get the resolution, and even Linux a few days ago | 07:20 |
| benjgvps | Though in a hacky way | 07:20 |
| Broly | how did you get it to work? | 07:20 |
| benjgvps | It isn't relevent to anything other than an iMac, though it was using some openfirmware video driver | 07:20 |
| aaron11 | Hello there! I want to know why Evolution and Pidgin starts up wenever I boot up. I looked in system-->Preferences-->Startup Applications but there is nothing related to evolution starting up. There is only the Evolution Alarm Notifier and I dont suppose that is responsible and anyways I can't un-check it because I need it! There is nothing related to pidgin either, It starts up every login. Im running Karmic Koala... | 07:21 |
| benjgvps | Wasn't accellerated, there was some corruption | 07:21 |
| benjgvps | A mess | 07:21 |
| Tesssa | my sound card is a nvidia(alsamixer) saica | 07:21 |
| SoftwareExplorer | DryGrain: I was right (proof:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/164507) | 07:22 |
| benjgvps | I wish this iMac G3 was X86, then I would be able to install Windows | 07:22 |
| benjgvps | But silly apple, lets use a PPC! | 07:23 |
| Broly | lol | 07:23 |
| aaron11 | Anyone with the same problem? | 07:25 |
| Broly | aaron11: i think you can just remove it from the panel | 07:26 |
| Broly | ie right click ->remove from panel | 07:27 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron11: I'm guessing you toggled on "Remember running applications when log out" thing? | 07:27 |
| aaron11 | Broly: What! Thats not my problem | 07:28 |
| Broly | sorry was thinking empathy and evolution | 07:28 |

| kinja-sheep | aaron11: Yes, but did you ran it? Did you enable it before? | 07:29 |
| aaron11 | kinja-sheep: Yes I think so | 07:30 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron11: Okay. Try this. Enable it again. Close all applications and whatnot. Make it the way you want it to be (when you log in). Ready? Restart / or Log out. Then when you're back in. untoggle it right away. | 07:31 |
| aaron11 | kinja-sheep: So how do I stop this from happening | 07:31 |
| aaron11 | ok | 07:31 |

| saica | Kamokw: I know as well... often I have to dig in and come up with my own solution.. but I'm no pro, so by the time I've recompiled the source code, reinstalled whatever it is, edited ten configuration files, and downgraded a kernel or something...

| om26er_ | !test | 07:41 |

| Scott__ | did you or have u the correct swap size in your partioning there is a known issue in the ubuntu automatic installation process | 08:10 |
| Scott__ | it doesn not somtimes allocate enough size to the swap to match the szie of your ram | 08:10 |
| Scott__ | this creates the hibernation to not work corectly | 08:11 |
| dhananjay | I have swap 4 gigs, | 08:12 |
| kinja-sheep | dhananjay: You're lucky. I have no swap. :( | 08:12 |
| dhananjay | kinja-sheep. It's like having a backup, isn't it? we don't need swap usually need it, isn't? | 08:14 |
| kinja-sheep | !swap | 08:14 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:15 |
| kinja-sheep | dhananjay: I have 3GB Ram and it shows that i'm only using 861MBright now (29%). | 08:15 |
| kinja-sheep | dhananjay: Ram is the primary memory and is faster than secondary memory (hard drive, or swap on HDD). | 08:16 |
| Scott__ | can we stop swap on ubuntu | 08:16 |
| mysphyt | Hey, folks. I've just installed Karmic on my Macbook Pro 5,1. When I installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver, suddenly X quit working on me. I can't access my Xorg.0.log right now, because I can't mount my linux partition in OSX yet, but it seems to die when it tries to load the GLX module. I get no error and a blank backtrace in the log, and then just a blank screen. Any ideas? | 08:16 |
| dhananjay | kinja-sheep. I've 4 gigs of ddr3, so I can safely work without swap? | 08:17 |
| Jkessler | how do i "reset" my webcam after using skype? if i try to run cheese or any other application that accesses the camera, it says there's no camera found | 08:17 |
| kinja-sheep | Scott__: You can disable it. | 08:17 |
| Scott__ | cool kinja how | 08:17 |
| giantpune | the nVidia driver killed my ubuntu 8.10 setup | 08:17 |
| dhananjay | scott_ swapoff <swapfile> | 08:17 |
| giantpune | i had to stick with the default | 08:17 |
| kinja-sheep | dhananjay: I haven't experienced anything differently. Others may encourage you to use swap, 512MB - 1G is more than enough. | 08:18 |
| Scott__ | sudo swapoff | 08:18 |
| dhananjay | :) | 08:18 |
| kinja-sheep | Scott__: I don't know. I'd have to search first. :o | 08:18 |
| Scott__ | the swap file name where is this im looking now | 08:18 |
| dhananjay | scott_ fstab? | 08:19 |
| dhananjay | scott_ or use swapoff -a | 08:19 |
| dhananjay | scott__ or use swapoff -a | 08:19 |
| Scott__ | sudo swapoff -a is a cmd for just turning it of regardless of where mounted and named yes | 08:20 |
| Scott__ | and how to turn back on | 08:20 |
| Scott__ | how does the fstab way work | 08:21 |
| kinja-sheep | Scott__: swapon -a :O | 08:21 |
| kinja-sheep | Scott__: Excluding the smiley face. You can run "swapon --help" | 08:21 |
| Scott__ | ok cool easy isnt it hey | 08:21 |
| Scott__ | off and on got ya | 08:21 |
| Scott__ | what do u reccomend the minimum ram to turn swap off is | 08:21 |
| Scott__ | i used to run windows with dwap off | 08:22 |
| Scott__ | swap | 08:22 |
| Scott__ | or page filing at least | 08:22 |
| giantpune | my laptop is only 1gb ram and i dont use swap | 08:23 |
| giantpune | its fine | 08:23 |
| dhananjay | windows recommeds 1.5 physical ram to be allotted as page file :O | 08:23 |
| Scott__ | if i stop swap can i reallocate the sawp partition to use it | 08:23 |
| Scott__ | or does this need to be done during install | 08:23 |
| dhananjay | scott__. yeh | 08:23 |
| Scott__ | so manual install and remove the swap area and run sudo swapoff -a when afterinstall on first boot | 08:24 |
| Scott__ | do u find a speed increase with swap off dhananjay | 08:25 |
| vj | what does cd ~hpotter do? | 08:26 |

| Scott__ | vj it downloads harry potter to ure desktop | 08:26 |
| vj | then wht abt ~hpotter | 08:26 |
| dhananjay | Scott__. not really. | 08:27 |
| Scott__ | it just streams it to ur desktop | 08:27 |
| vj | oh thank u scott | 08:27 |
| kinja-sheep | vj: Run it. It should say "bash: cd: Zomg: What? No such file or directory." | 08:27 |
| Scott__ | im only kidding by the way | 08:27 |
| kinja-sheep | vj: Is hpotter your user name? Harry Potter? | 08:28 |
| kheera | vj: assuming you have a folder called hpotter in your home dir, cd ~/hpotter would move you into that folder. | 08:28 |

| isolat3dsh33p | koshari: they should be gone after you reboot. | 09:04 |
| p1oooop | I would but it would be easier for all of us if I just reset the kernel | 09:04 |

| p1oooop | anyone know what /proc/mounts is? as in filesystem wise? | 09:07 |
| quequotion | anybody want to have a kernel roast party? we'll install every version of the linux kernel we can to as many spare hard disks as it takes and start a bonfire. | 09:07 |

| Brid | Hello | 09:08 |
| p1oooop | huh, so I guess I really screwed up this time, huh | 09:08 |
| BinaryMan | p1oooop: proc itself is a file system that represents kernel states. /proc/mounts is as lstarnes said. | 09:08 |
| Brid | Ubuntu 9.10 is cool ;) | 09:08 |

| p1oooop | yes, it is | 09:08 |
| BinaryMan | redhat has a good manual on /proc and how it works. | 09:08 |
| quequotion | as far as i know, everything in /proc/ is a virtual filesystem. it should only exist while the kernel is active.. | 09:08 |

| * quequotion has no faith in update-initramfs any more... | 09:13 | |
| * kinja-sheep giggled manically. | 09:13 | |
| * isolat3dsh33p have no idea what initramfs is | 09:14 | |
| p1oooop | does anyone have a good guide to optimize the kernel? | 09:14 |
| p1oooop | initramfs is a filesystem | 09:14 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: It could be that the modules are loaded and is just a red herring to your problem. | 09:15 |
| kinja-sheep | !kernel | p1oooop (maybe?) | 09:15 |
| ubottu | p1oooop (maybe?): The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 09:15 |

| quequotion | Alright, i have an idea: I'm going to reboot from a Jaunty livecd and make an intramfs with mkinitramfs -o initramfscustom.img, then try to boot my various kernels with it... i have a feeling this will work, but i don't regard it as any kind of solution. Why did all my initramfs break in the first place? | 09:16 |
| quequotion | btw... any ideas how to mkinitramfs for a kernel that is not running? | 09:17 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: Because you didn't make any backups before you performed ornately on them. | 09:18 |
| * isolat3dsh33p just learning bash. Couldn't help with initframfs | 09:18 | |
| Archanamiya | When I try start pulseaudio, I get this error: "Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: ""): initialization failed." | 09:19 |

| Archanamiya | p1oooop: FATAL: Module module_alsa_sink not found. | 09:23 |
| quequotion | kinja-sheep: also important to note i've had this problem frequently, in three different versions of ubuntu. | 09:23 |
| p1oooop | Archanamiya: oops, lemme find the module... wrong one, my fault | 09:23 |

| kinja-sheep | quequotion: Hardy? | 09:23 |
| lao5 | my flash also misses sounds sometimes, but i dont know why. i just reboot the system,then okay. | 09:24 |
| quequotion | kinja-sheep: Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic. never tried Hardy. | 09:24 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: And you have reasons to believe that it is the modules? You could load them in specific order too. | 09:24 |
| hatake_kakashi | lao5, have you tried restarting the browser instead of the computer? | 09:25 |
| quequotion | kinja-sheep: THAT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING TO ME. | 09:25 |
| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: yes ,i did. but it no use | 09:25 |
| hatake_kakashi | lao5, weird | 09:25 |

| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: firefox.. | 09:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | lao5: do you have flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer installed? | 09:26 |
| hatake_kakashi | lao5, and distro version? :) | 09:26 |
| Archanamiya | Help? | 09:26 |
| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: ubuntu8.04, with flashplugin-nonfree installed | 09:26 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: The second statement of that factoid. | 09:26 |
| quequotion | ah... i have the modules i need listed in /etc/iniramfs-tools/modules... but it doesn't work. | 09:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | lao5: try remove the flashplugin-nonfree. See if everything works fine after that :) | 09:27 |
| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: sorry. it's ff 3.0.16 | 09:27 |
| hatake_kakashi | lao5, I reckon it could be just firefox, I have 3.0.16 on jaunty, all I need to do is restart firefox and the problem ceases to appear for awhile | 09:27 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: You can fix it manually though? | 09:27 |
| jm | any chance of some help getting local networking to work please. my router says the devices in my home network are connected and i can ping them but for some reason dns is not working. when i look in wireshark all i see was seeing was a a bunch of mdns requests to 224.0.0.251 but now ping just says unknown host. I've googles but can't find anything appropriate I don't think i've got the terms right. I'm not running bind | 09:27 |
| p1oooop | Archanamiya: yeah, IDK about that | 09:28 |
| hatake_kakashi | jm, add the dns servers from what your ISP provided you | 09:28 |
| Archanamiya | God damn | 09:28 |
| p1oooop | Archanamiya: did you try " sudo alsa start " | 09:28 |
| Archanamiya | lemme | 09:28 |
| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: in fact i did remove flashplugin-nonfree then, and re-install it. but it is no use. i am dwelled. | 09:29 |
| p1oooop | Archanamiya: I'm sorry " sudo alsa reload " | 09:29 |
| jm | anyone have any idea what 224.0.0.251 is? | 09:29 |
| Archanamiya | ya | 09:29 |
| Archanamiya | all is well | 09:29 |
| quequotion | kinja-sheep: i've tried. i have listed the module dm-raid4-5 (also dm-raid45) in this file and others, updated the initramfs with update-initramfs -u -k all (and on other occasions with -c -k all) but it never gets that far. I don't know where it's breaking down, but it's as if no modules of any kind get loaded.. | 09:29 |
| p1oooop | it worked? | 09:29 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Archanamiya: What's your version again? | 09:29 |
| Archanamiya | isolat3dsh33p, 8.04 | 09:29 |
| p1oooop | jm: is it an IP? | 09:29 |
| Archanamiya | p1oooop, no it reloaded, but still no pulse, still no sound :( | 09:30 |
| Archanamiya | jm, looks like an IP address | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | jm: http://whois.domaintools.com/224.0.0.251 | 09:30 |
| lao5 | the flash is soundless, but the totem is fine. a little strange for me. | 09:30 |
| hatake_kakashi | lao5, flashplugin-installer on my one | 09:30 |
| jm | um yeah i suppose but why is a ping to a device on my local network failing but generating lots of mdns queries there? | 09:30 |
| hatake_kakashi | I believe its the plugin that is causing the issue | 09:30 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: That sounds frustrating. What does the error message say specifically? I'll try search engines. | 09:31 |
| quequotion | kinja-sheep: in intrepid this was a simple matter of editing the config files and updating the initramfs; in karmic i had a similar problem but the solution was to change the partition table from GPT to MSDOS, jaunty seems to have a different problem.. | 09:31 |
| lao5 | hatake_kakashi: fine. i would try flashplugin-installer then. thx. :) | 09:31 |
| Threetimes | Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing... | 09:31 |

| isolat3dsh33p | Archanamiya: done this « asoundconf set-pulseaudio » ? | 09:32 |

| lilyshu | hi, on firefox how can i see properties of a site, like the owner, hosting company, country etc. thanks | 09:32 |
| Archanamiya | p1oooop, yeah | 09:32 |
| isolat3dsh33p | lao5: no, don't install any and try flash :) | 09:32 |
| p1oooop | huh, my bad then | 09:32 |
| Archanamiya | isolat3dsh33p, no luck | 09:32 |
| hatake_kakashi | jm, I think its actually searching for a mask within that range.. no IP address afaik would have number 0 or 255.. they aren't valid IP addresses | 09:32 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: lemme see | 09:32 |
| p1oooop | :D | 09:32 |
| lao5 | isolat3dsh33p: but without them, how could i play flash in ff?.. | 09:33 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: right click the website and click on view website info | 09:33 |
| isolat3dsh33p | lao5: I don't have any of them installed, still i can use flash fine. Provided i'm using 9.10 | 09:34 |
| jm | ok so im stuck i can ping the device by it's ip address but i can't ping by the name that comes up in the wireless router attached devices page | 09:34 |
| jm | not sure what changed but it was workign a few days ago | 09:34 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: I'm sorry, "view page info" | 09:34 |
| lao5 | isolat3dsh33p: i think ff would tip me to install flashplugin if none of them installed.. | 09:34 |
| Archanamiya | Help please. I've got no damn sound | 09:34 |
| quequotion | i get this message three times, once for /sbin/udevd, /sbin/usplash, and dmraid "error loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2" no such file or directory" (which actually means, rather than the file cannot be found, the disk it is on cannot be found) then i get "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/mapper/nvidia_dcgcffh1" does not exist!" and dropped to busybox. unfortunately, the keyboard isn't loaded either and i can't u | 09:34 |
| lao5 | isolat3dsh33p: that's when the ff freshly installed. | 09:34 |
| hatake_kakashi | jm, I think you need to add your router's IP address as a dns server and see if it would resolve the name of a computer on the LAN to IP address | 09:35 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Archanamiya: what « aplay -l » gives you? | 09:35 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: What is in your /etc/resolv.conf ? | 09:35 |

| jm | service avahi-daemon stop causes ping to respond immediately with unknown host (with no mdns traffic in wireshark) . restarting avahi makes the ping take a moment longer during which time it is generating mdns traffic. I'd rather not manually assign each device a static ip if i can avoid that - if it is the only way then fine but why is avahi-daemon failing? | 09:40 |
| Archanamiya | hatake_kakashi, please go on | 09:40 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: there's another way... if the website has a secure connection | 09:40 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: you can view their certificate | 09:40 |
| _polto_ | hi, did anybody used Omnikey 6121 USB authentification key on Linux ? | 09:40 |
| _polto_ | I am not able to get it work properly. | 09:41 |
| hatake_kakashi | Archanamiya, I personally don't recommend removing pulseaudio, I have tried setting pulseaudio up for one of my mate whom is a dj. He wanted global equaliser.. exact same guide as you posted but I could never get it working | 09:41 |
| jm | where are the ubunut firewall settings? | 09:41 |
| _polto_ | pcsc_scan recognize it, but then nothing. | 09:41 |
| Archanamiya | Basically | 09:41 |
| ardchoille | !firewall | jm | 09:41 |
| Archanamiya | I need to revert the guide's changes | 09:41 |
| ubottu | jm: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 09:41 |
| lilyshu | p1oooop, can you tell me how? | 09:42 |
| hatake_kakashi | Archanamiya, on my setup, xubuntu jaunty, I removed pulseaudio because it interfered with how the sound were to be played, that and the compounded problem with vhba (somehow) | 09:42 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: If you never messed around with firewall, it's probably not it. | 09:42 |
| Archanamiya | So | 09:42 |
| jm | ok so i did ufw disable as sudo and still got the same problem - yeah never messed with it | 09:42 |
| Archanamiya | What should I do? | 09:42 |
| hatake_kakashi | Archanamiya, I dunno, aptitude remove pulseaudio I suppose | 09:42 |
| Archanamiya | What is this module-alsa-sink | 09:42 |
| hatake_kakashi | not sure | 09:43 |
| Archanamiya | I saw an error about it in one of the guide's first steps | 09:43 |
| p1oooop | lilyshu: same method as before, right click the page and left click view page information... but it only works if the page is using a secure connection | 09:43 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Archanamiya: which 1st step? | 09:43 |
| Archanamiya | isolat3dsh33p, Part A, step 2 | 09:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Archanamiya, FYI if you remove Pulse you won't have a volume control in the panel any more -- just something to keep in mind | 09:44 |
| Archanamiya | ya | 09:44 |
| Archanamiya | I'm not gunna rm it | 09:44 |
| isolat3dsh33p | this > « sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio » ? | 09:44 |
| Archanamiya | k | 09:44 |
| quequotion | why do so many people suggest the solution to pulseaudio problems is to remove pulseaudio? it's not that bad! | 09:44 |
| p1oooop | Archanamiya: you can always purge it and install again | 09:44 |
| Archanamiya | p1oooop, I did | 09:45 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: Maybe you configured the router? | 09:45 |
| Archanamiya | Wait | 09:45 |
| Archanamiya | p1oooop, Purge what? | 09:45 |
| isolat3dsh33p | quequotion: It reacts slow :/ | 09:45 |
| p1oooop | sudo apt-get purge libpulse | 09:45 |
| Archanamiya | k | 09:45 |
| p1oooop | I think that's it | 09:45 |
| hatake_kakashi | quentusrex, could never get the thing to work properly so I removed it, problem solved using pure alsa | 09:45 |
| isolat3dsh33p | but is still use pulseaudio though | 09:45 |
| p1oooop | IDK | 09:45 |
| kinja-sheep | quequotion: Nobody like to keep up with advancements. | 09:45 |
| Archanamiya | The oddest thing though | 09:45 |
| Archanamiya | When my computer started up, I heard the login screen sound | 09:46 |
| jm | yeah i'm wondering - have been messing with that i have a router connected to a switch and have asked the router to share RIP in both directions using RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-2M none seem to work | 09:46 |
| Archanamiya | But nothing after logging in | 09:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | kinja-sheep, and not all advancements work well | 09:46 |
| jm | thing is if the mdns request is going to 224.0.0.251 will the router even get involved? | 09:46 |
| kinja-sheep | hatake_kakashi: Indeed. Invention of the wheel! Evil! Split the Amish community in two. :( | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | Wait a minute... | 09:47 |
| * quequotion mutters a few more curses... attempt #23 has failed... | 09:47 | |
| Archanamiya | HA | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | I fixed it >< | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | asoundconf unset-pulseaudio | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | :P | 09:47 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Yay? | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | Yay | 09:47 |
| jm | it is really annoying cos i have a lot of people visiting that want to hook up dhcp and share stuff - and i would rather not give them all static ips | 09:47 |
| FloodBot1 | Archanamiya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:47 |
| Archanamiya | Thanks to everyone :) | 09:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | kinja-sheep, somethings were never meant to work with everything, just like you can't have all the time and the money in this world | 09:48 |
| purplefool | ok, i see that everyone everywhere on the net thinks that pulseaudio should be removed...sounds good. what is the best/easiest way to go about this? please use small words, i am not very good at linux yet... | 09:48 |
| koshari | can you record system audio without a loop back cable? | 09:49 |
| jm | purplefool, have you used the package manager in the system->admin menu yet? | 09:50 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: It won't hurt to allow communications within LAN. You can have many switches as you want, but only one router (eg dhcp server). | 09:50 |
| kotis | when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right. what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor. | 09:51 |
| jm | i thought so and it has been working - i only have one router and switch and as far as i know only one dhcp server | 09:51 |
| pk | i wanted to make a .php file executale i have chmod it to +x and put #!/usr/bin/php - in the starting but as soon as i run it i get Extension './filename.php' not present | 09:51 |
| purplefool | jm, no i haven't...thought it would be a bit more complicated then that. should i just delete everything to do with pulseaudio there? and what button do i push to make this reply red for you? | 09:51 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: I like those names, zen.local, earth.local, jupiter.local, ark.local | 09:52 |

| jm | kinja-sheep, mixed systems? | 09:56 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: Windows, Mac, all furs of *nixes. | 09:56 |
| purplefool | jm, when deleting all the pulseaudio packages i got a warning i would also remove 'ubuntu desktop'...is that right? should i? | 09:56 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | no | 09:56 |
| jm | purplefool, well that's the problem removing something so tied into ubuntu is not really a good idea | 09:57 |
| clausismus_ | i'd like to send the internet from wlan0 to eth0, im using karmic, how can i achieve this | 09:57 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: All the machines are wired, right? Not wireless as they may get disconnected. | 09:57 |
| jm | kinja-sheep: well i suppose so, linux, appletv, seagate blackarmor, nintendo wii, couple of itouch | 09:57 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | clausismus_, wlan is wireless eth0 is wired | 09:57 |
| ardchoille | purplefool: ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage and is safe to remove. You might want to reinstallit before doing an upgrades though | 09:58 |
| purplefool | jm, then how can i get rid of my sound problems? it only happens in a few games, but it is rightly annoying... | 09:58 |
| jm | some wireless, some wired i can ping them all to the ip address | 09:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, removing pulse is a poor idea -- BUT ubuntu-desktop is just a meta packages, removing it won't cause any harm | 09:58 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: Make sure udp port 5353 is allowed for them + router. | 09:58 |
| da65 | I guess there are lots of gamers on here, anyone know is Assins creed will run on win7 sry offtopic but I am about to buy | 09:58 |
| jm | purplefool, i'm not sure anyone has an answer - i think we've all been experiencing some form of sound problem (low volume, clicking , popping and no sound) | 09:58 |
| clausismus_ | sry, but i think you know what i mean | 09:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, i had/have the same problem with some games and pulse -- and removing was a solution (not a good one, but a quasi-working one!) | 09:59 |
| purplefool | ok, then since i am a noob in linux i should probably just leave it until i understand more...or is there a way to use alsa and pulse together? | 09:59 |
| jm | how is that done? | 10:00 |
| M1TE5H | I have script and I want to run that script when any one login in to system including root | 10:00 |
| M1TE5H | how can I do | 10:00 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: Which machine are you having difficulty identifying with? | 10:00 |
| saica | purplefool: they work together by default.... pulseaudio will wrap around your alsa devices. | 10:00 |
| jm | here is my netstat http://paste.ubuntu.com/347511/ | 10:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, something for you to "try" without removing pulse http://paste.ubuntu.com/347512/ | 10:02 |
| purplefool | ZykoticK9, thx for the link...will take a look at it! | 10:02 |
| * saica wants to make a bug report but doesn't have enough information and can't get any more... what to do... | 10:02 | |
| jm | bingo - turns out just one on particular, others working ok - have renamed the device using lower case and it seems to work | 10:02 |
| jm | weird maybe it was never working | 10:03 |
| jm | deep thanks kinja - much credit coming your way | 10:03 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: No problem. Is it working or is it not? | 10:04 |
| jm | it is working now | 10:04 |
| jm | in the settings for my blackarmor i renamed the device from Seastore to seastore and ping seastore.local now finds it | 10:05 |
| M1TE5H | I have script and I want to run that script when any one login in to system including root | 10:05 |
| kinja-sheep | jm: Ahh. I see. Might come in useful someday. Thanks for the head up. :) | 10:06 |
| purplefool | ZykoticK9, ok, that worked a little bit. the pops and static has been lessoned and it doesn't cut out so quickly...but is still hard to hear. | 10:06 |
| wilhart | my windows change is very slow? | 10:07 |
| isolat3dsh33p | guys, any app for playback on the panel? | 10:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, afraid other then removing pulse that's all i got -- best of luck. FYI i never FULLY got (certain) games sound working on Karmic | 10:07 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ZykoticK9: Karmic is awesome so far. Pulseaudio just reacts a bit slow. :/ | 10:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, and by "working" i mean "working properly" without pops/static/crappy sound | 10:08 |
| purplefool | ZykoticK9, good to know i am not completely inept. thx for your help!! | 10:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | isolat3dsh33p, actually I'm not a big fan of Karmic - has some nice features but I miss 9.04 :( | 10:09 |
| purplefool | ZykoticK9, is strange though...with 9.04 it worked fine. guess i should look at the differences between the two audio aspects... | 10:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | purplefool, ya i had no problem with game audio in 9.04 as well --- the differences are kernel related (not much you can really do I'm affraid) | 10:10 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ZykoticK9: You mean the fast boot, no autho for mounting ntfs partitions? | 10:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | isolat3dsh33p, i love the fast boot (NTFS doesn't apply to me personally don't use it at all) | 10:11 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ZykoticK9: Maybe 10.04 will be more awesome. :) | 10:11 |
| * ardchoille can hardly wait for 11.04 | 10:12 | |
| ZykoticK9 | isolat3dsh33p, that's certainly what I'm hoping for -- i personally thing 9.10 is more-or-less a beta of 10.04... | 10:12 |
| nono0 | My wifi is not connecting, ubuntu says I don't have wifi when logged in. However when I put my wife off and start up ubuntu log in and then turn it on ubuntu detects the wife, how can I solve that? | 10:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | isolat3dsh33p, anyone who hangs out in this channel is WELL aware of that ;) | 10:13 |
| purplefool | ZykoticK9, well i did find a solution that worked for the games but then i had no system sound which defeats the purpose of sound in the first place... | 10:13 |

| MasterOfDisaster | sleep1999: you can't use windows drivers with ubuntu (unless you're talking about ndiswrapper, but I doubt that). | 10:29 |
| Richard_Simmons | sleep1999, enough for wireless. the Windows driver API for linux doesn't cover anything that isn't used for wireless cards(NDIS wrapper.) | 10:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | Richard_Simmons, do you have "multimedia system selector" in System / Preferences? You might be able to set it there. if not see http://paste.ubuntu.com/347512/ | 10:29 |
| sleep1999 | ok | 10:29 |
| reactor | guys how do I set NAT on some iface? | 10:31 |
| Richard_Simmons | ZykoticK9 "multimedia system selector" isn't there. and I can set Pulseaudio to use the card I want which then forces everything to use it, so I get sound.. but Pulse removed the option to change PCM volume.. which on my card, if that's too high, audio sounds terrible. Pulse tends to keep it maxed at medium to high volumes. | 10:31 |

| MasterOfDisaster | reactor: nope, package is iptables | 10:33 |
| reactor | MasterOfDisaster, I have iptables | 10:34 |
| Richard_Simmons | ZykoticK9 the GUI still has the features removed I want, and alsamixer still uses the wrong card. | 10:34 |

| Richard_Simmons | I -was- able to get around the "pulse audio sucks" issue with alsamixer because the card in this case didn't have a driver..or the driver was blacklisted. Funny how things getting support can be a problem. | 10:39 |

| ubottu | matteo1990: 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? | 10:50 |
| andyl | are nvidia video cards still the recommended cards for use on linux ? | 10:50 |
| rsk | andyl, yes | 10:50 |
| Richard_Simmons | wgrant the GUI doesn't seem to allow controlling all of the alsa settings, even when set to use alsa by default in "Multimedia Systems Selector" unless that needs me to log out for some reason. | 10:50 |
| wgrant | rsk: Um, really? | 10:51 |
| rsk | wgrant, yea? | 10:51 |
| andyl | ok | 10:51 |
| wgrant | rsk: Why? | 10:51 |
| wgrant | rsk: That doesn't make sense. | 10:51 |
| rsk | wgrant, nvidia have better drivers | 10:51 |
| frogzoo | so are ati like, not recommended? | 10:51 |
| wgrant | rsk: Not better than the open source ATI and Intel ones. | 10:51 |
| rsk | wgrant, it's indeed very much better. the ati drivers are buggy and not even feature-complete | 10:51 |
| guil | does anyone here use Ubuntu on a macbook? | 10:51 |
| rsk | wgrant, the intel drivers for linux are very bad to the ones compared in windows | 10:52 |
| * Richard_Simmons find the opensource ATI drivers to be somewhat buggy and slow compared to the closed source ones, which have different bugs | 10:52 | |
| wgrant | rsk: The Intel drivers these days are excellent. | 10:52 |
| wgrant | rsk: The open source ATI ones too. | 10:52 |
| rsk | wgrant, sure stabilitty-wise. but not pefromance-wise | 10:52 |
| wgrant | Particularly in what will become 10.04. | 10:52 |
| Merc | Merc | 10:52 |
| saica | frogzoo: as an ati user, i'd have to say the hardware itself is not recommended. if you are unfortunate enough to have it, use fglrx. the open source drivers are catching up, but not worth your trouble yet. | 10:52 |
| Richard_Simmons | Nvidia has Hardware acceleration for video on their newer cards | 10:52 |
| rsk | wgrant, ati aren't featurecomplete and some cards are not even supported | 10:52 |
| rsk | wgrant, dont argue otherwise | 10:52 |
| wgrant | rsk: r600/r700 DRI is now present. | 10:53 |
| wgrant | rsk: I run it fine with open source drivers on my laptop that is not six months old. | 10:53 |
| aolko | so??? | 10:53 |
| frogzoo | saica: I've got an x850, but admittedly, I boot to doze for games | 10:53 |
| Richard_Simmons | frogzoo that would have the opensource drivers. | 10:53 |
| rsk | wgrant, yea you run it fine. but it's still not as good as nvidia driver | 10:53 |
| jofo | Hello ! I have an Acer Aspire 7520 Laptop under Linux Ubuntu Karmic Koala. Here is its keyboard: http://colson.eu/Clavier_ACER_ASPIRE_7520.JPG I’d like to reassign the keys € and $ (those near the arrow keys) with xmodmap, but xev doesn’t detect them. Does someone know what I could try? | 10:54 |
| saica | frogzoo, fglrx (the proprietary driver) runs pretty well, but there are a million other problems with getting your windows games to run in linux. | 10:54 |
| wgrant | rsk: The short-term outlook for free ATI drivers is excellent. The same cannot be said for nvidia cards, and the proprietary drivers fail to even support RandR 1.2. | 10:54 |
| insmod | <rsk>the nvidia and ntel proprietary drivers are better then win | 10:54 |
| insmod | <rsk>the nvidia and intel proprietary drivers are better then win | 10:54 |
| rsk | wgrant, randr 1.2 isn't as important as peformance and stability | 10:54 |
| frogzoo | saica: yep | 10:54 |
| rsk | at least for me | 10:55 |
| Richard_Simmons | ATI's drivers have no hardware acceleration for video playback. (it has standard 2D gui and 3D acceleration, but those aren't what you accelerate 1080p video with) | 10:55 |
| wgrant | rsk: My drivers are perfectly stable, and reasonably performant. | 10:55 |
| BinaryMn_ | fglrx is a pain in the ass to use. it disrupts hibernate/suspend tot he point where it isn't viable to use. | 10:55 |
| rsk | i know what you think | 10:55 |
| Richard_Simmons | Nvidia has video acceleration. | 10:55 |
| BinaryMn_ | the open source ati drivers work great, but don't support OpenGL 2.0 yet. | 10:55 |
| rsk | im juyst trying to give a fair picture of the issue | 10:55 |
| Richard_Simmons | It's back | 10:56 |
| saica | BinaryMn_: "don't support OpenGL 2.0 yet" that's a pretty big deal to me. I'll give up suspend/hibernate to have proper opengl support. | 10:56 |

| delectate | ZykoticK9: i'm new here,yes | 10:59 |
| delectate | how to play mkv in mplayer? | 10:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | SETKEH, openbox is a windows manager, so is compiz = thus you can't have both, it's impossible | 10:59 |

| rsk | delectate, mplayer file | 10:59 |
| rsk | delectate, just as any other fille | 10:59 |
| SETKEH | re to recourcve intensive and kindof defeat the purpose of installing openbox lol cuz you have to run emerald and i know emerald doesent work | 11:00 |
| Richard_Simmons | mkv is just a container. mkv can contain any video filetype... You may need the restricted extras for it. | 11:00 |

| ZykoticK9 | matteo1990, assuming karmic just run "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" and you'll have DVD support | 11:03 |
| matteo1990 | saica, wheni try to open an original dvd with vlc it doesn't happen anything, if i try to run vlc on terminal i get this error main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called | 11:03 |
| SETKEH | ok another question i have a linkstation nas how would i conect to that to save data and veiw data ??? | 11:03 |
| pompa_ | I made a fresh install over a previous ubuntu one, Having the old home folder on a different partition I preserved all the datas, but I preserved also the old file association, and, for example, now my stupid stupid pc tries to open my media with vlc wich is not installed. How should I do? | 11:03 |
| rsk | dj_, wel... linux dc++ clients are very bad. you're lucky if you can connect to a hub. try other clients | 11:04 |
| reactor | MasterOfDisaster, and what should I add to --to-source - ip address of machine for what I wanna set NAT? | 11:04 |
| dj_ | rsk which clients to try | 11:04 |
| dj_ | rsk which clients to try to connect to hubs | 11:04 |
| rsk | i used microdc | 11:04 |
| matteo1990 | ZykoticK9, I have already installed css support, i get this error message "main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called" | 11:05 |
| rsk | for few years ago | 11:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | matteo1990, i can't help with VLC issues -- what does "mplayer dvd://1" give? | 11:05 |
| SETKEH | rsk, how do i connect to my linstation nas with a window manager ?? because it has no ssh or command line | 11:06 |
| rsk | SETKEH, no idea ask the linstation people? | 11:06 |
| dj_ | rsk sudo apt-get install microdc no such package | 11:07 |
| rsk | when did i say it was in ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| matteo1990 | ZykoticK9, that's the log, it doesn't play anything http://pastebin.com/d66554663 | 11:07 |
| warlord_ | #magento-nl | 11:07 |
| rsk | warlord_, go away | 11:08 |
| SETKEH | rsk, i only need to know how to do it in openbox lol linkstation people wont help with that | 11:08 |
| rsk | SETKEH, then ask the openbox people. but im pretty sure they don't have a solution. | 11:08 |
| rsk | SETKEH, probability of sucsess 0.2% | 11:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | matteo1990, try both "mplayer -vo gl dvd://1" and "mplayer -vo x11 dvd://1" and see if either play | 11:09 |
| justin_ | what's going on | 11:09 |
| SETKEH | rsk, ok is there a way of opening a smb share inside commandline i think it works using smb | 11:09 |
| rsk | SETKEH, but you said you had no commandline? | 11:10 |
| rsk | SETKEH, stop confusing me | 11:10 |
| matteo1990 | ZykoticK9, none of them played. | 11:10 |
| SETKEH | rsk, it doesent support a command line so i cant ssh into it im asking if there is a way to connect to a smb share in linux command line | 11:10 |
| rsk | SETKEH, yep you can | 11:11 |
| SETKEH | rsk, how ?? | 11:11 |
| rsk | i don't have it in memory | 11:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | matteo1990, well you certainly do have libdvdcss install -- try "mplayer -vo gl dvd://2" | 11:11 |
| vega | funny this gnome usability thing, nautilus featuring "eject", "unmount" and "safely remove" when right-clicking on usb stick, so which one to choose.. | 11:12 |
| * SETKEH hits google thanks rsk | 11:12 | |
| vega | and what normal user knows what "unmount" means? | 11:12 |
| rsk | vega, the opposite of mount | 11:12 |
| justin_ | that's a good question | 11:13 |

| devD_ | ! fsck | whochismo | 11:58 |
| ubottu | whochismo: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 11:58 |

| llutz | isolat3dsh33p: ls -1 | 12:20 |
| Piratero | I just formatted a new HDD using: mkfs.ext4 and what amazes me is that it's already consuming ~170Mb! | 12:20 |
| Piratero | Is there a way to optimize for size? | 12:20 |
| Piratero | Or is EXT4 Just not the FS for this? | 12:20 |
| lstarnes | Piratero: how big is the partition? | 12:20 |
| sda | no 1-2 after devices | 12:20 |
| Piratero | ~37.0Gb. | 12:21 |
| lstarnes | Piratero: it needs space for the superblock, file metadata, and journal | 12:21 |
| isolat3dsh33p | llutz: not working. The folder is in a ntfs drive, does that affect? | 12:21 |
| llutz | isolat3dsh33p: shouldn't | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Piratero: 5% is reseved for use by the system also. Tuneable with the tune2fs command | 12:22 |
| Piratero | lstarnes: What's weird is that I tried transferring ~19Gb from another partition (EXT4) to this newly made partition (another HDD), and it filled up the HDD! | 12:22 |
| isolat3dsh33p | llutz: is this correct? « array=(`ls -l /media/Downloads/Video/Movies`) » | 12:22 |
| llutz | isolat3dsh33p: no | 12:22 |
| isolat3dsh33p | llutz: what's wrong there? | 12:22 |
| Piratero | Dr_Willis: Ah. | 12:22 |
| llutz | isolat3dsh33p: http://pastebin.com/m551a5b92 | 12:22 |
| lstarnes | isolat3dsh33p: I think $() is preferred over `` | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | if udev-extras is not in Hardy where do I get it from? | 12:23 |
| Piratero | I actually set the block size to be 1024. This reduced things greatly. | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: ive seen quite a few tutorial/bash sites that tell you how to parse/glob file names without using the ls command output. | 12:23 |
| fanti | hello! my screen flickers when running a video and desktop effects are enabled! i'm using latest fglrx driver and ubuntu 9.10. any ideas? | 12:23 |

| SETKEH | zetheroo, have you tried sudo apt-get install -y udev-extras | 12:23 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: no will try | 12:24 |
| sda | @oCean_ in this folder there is "active_duration autosuspend connected_duration level wakeup" | 12:24 |

| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: check out ---> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs Why you shouldn't parse the output of ls(1) | 12:24 |
| isolat3dsh33p | lstarnes, llutz, Dr_Willis : Got it. Thanks guys :) | 12:24 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: E: Couldn't find package udev-extras | 12:25 |
| oCean__ | sda: do "cat idVendor" and "cat idProduct" that should match the lsusb output | 12:25 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, hmm one sec plz mate | 12:25 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: no worries ... cheers | 12:25 |

| erUSUL | axz: dunno; i'm not security expert ;) | 12:28 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, its lts time is up i think try upgrading you system by going to "system -> administration -> update manager and upgrade to 9.04 you wont loose any data doing it that way | 12:30 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, the only issue i know doing it that way is if you upgrade you may have to reinstall your graphics driver if your using one i did | 12:31 |
| sda | I'm searching | 12:32 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, from memory 9.04 is the latest lts | 12:33 |
| i_is_broke | zetheroo, 10.4 lts will be out in april, 9.04 is not an lts. | 12:34 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: uhm ... 10.04 is the next LTS after 8.04 | 12:35 |

| sda | the cat confirm | 12:36 |
| oCean_ | sda: i was in progress of sending you a command to find it | 12:36 |
| Humming-Bird | damm -.- now I have messed it up even more xD Can't login in anymore -.- | 12:36 |
| oCean_ | sda: ok, then the echo suspend in the level file should work | 12:36 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, hmm i though we was only up to 9.10 lol any way i would update to the latest release of ubuntu before 9.10 because there is allot of issues with 9.10 im running 9.04 fine and udev-extras works fine | 12:37 |
| bboett | hello! maybe someone here knows how to upgrade an archos10 with a 8.04 netbook-remix? | 12:38 |

| oCean_ | sda, yeah you should use "sudo" | 12:38 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: the latest release is 9.04 ... there has not been an LTS released since 8.04 | 12:38 |
| sda | there is! | 12:38 |

| hasibullah | I want to install virtual clone drive how to install that | 12:39 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: sorry 9.10 | 12:39 |
| nickkontos | I can't find any thread... | 12:39 |

| petsounds | hasibullah, something like alcohol 120% ? | 12:39 |
| sda | oCean_ : on "cat level" there is on | 12:39 |

| SETKEH | does any one know if i need a tv card to run myth tv ??? | 12:40 |
| rob_p | SETKEH: You don't need one but it | 12:41 |
| rob_p | SETKEH: ...it's nice to have. | 12:41 |
| oCean_ | sda: the sudo command and a io redirect can conflict. You should use "echo suspend | sudo tee level" - then check with "cat level" | 12:41 |
| petsounds | hasibullah, why you need to clone your drive? | 12:41 |
| SETKEH | rob_p, ty :D | 12:41 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: I have been very happy with 9.10 on all my other systems ... myth tv will work without a TV card but you won't get any TV :) | 12:42 |
| rob_p | SETKEH: welcome | 12:42 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, ty for that :D do you run wireless on 9.10 ?? | 12:43 |
| rob_p | SETKEH: I recommend the PCHDTV linux card for MythTV. | 12:43 |
| sda | oCean_ : right; i make sudo su; then echo suspend > level | 12:43 |
| sda | oCean_: but the led still on! | 12:43 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: yes ... on all my machines .. desktops, laptops and netbooks | 12:43 |
| hasibullah | because i dont have a cd room to place the cd and use the cd i have the ISO file i can easily work with it in windows but i can't find it in ubuntu | 12:43 |

| isolat3dsh33p | Bash question again: How to strict find to list only files/folders in a certain directory? e.g. In dir contains dir_1 and file_1 and in dir_1 contains file_2, but I don't want file_2 to be listed. find should only outpu dir_1 and file_1. How do I do this? | 12:45 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, yes i have 5 laptops in the house an they all did the same thing lol but the server version runs sweet on my dell draw | 12:45 |
| petsounds | hasibullah, so you try to mount ISO? if you prefer GUI try Gmount-iso | 12:46 |
| oCean_ | sda: that is weird. But it could be (not sure about this) that the usb master should be turned off, not the slave. However I really don't know about that | 12:46 |
| oCean_ | oCean_: there is this cam check/control utility in the repos, I forgot what its name is... | 12:47 |
| oCean_ | sda: ^^ | 12:47 |
| z0b3l | need help about cairo-dock | 12:47 |
| legend2440 | _raven_: not sure what that means to be honest. but you could try in terminal cat file1.flv file2.flv > output.flv to see if that works. can you play the flv files? | 12:47 |

| jofo | Hello ! I have an Acer Aspire 7520 Laptop under Linux Ubuntu Karmic Koala. Here is its keyboard: http://colson.eu/Clavier_ACER_ASPIRE_7520.JPG I’d like to rebind a few keys, especialy the keys € and $ (those near the arrow keys), with xmodmap, but xev doesn’t detect them. Does someone know what I could try? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | hippo1: check sudo fdisk -l, for all drives/filesystems | 12:49 |
| sda | oCean_ : if I make an lsusb now there isn't the webcam | 12:49 |
| sda | but the led still on | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | hippo1: or run 'gparted' | 12:49 |
| jofo | Is there a special Acer driver I should install? | 12:49 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, no cat only joins the first seconds of the second file but then the video is out | 12:50 |
| oCean_ | sda: aha. The led might be controlled in another way? Why can't i think of this cam control app? :s | 12:50 |
| legend2440 | _raven_: what player are you using to watch the flv? | 12:50 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: very odd .. what kind of hardware are you dealing with? | 12:50 |
| daughain | OK, whats the command to edit the smb.conf? | 12:51 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, several, ffplay, vlc, gstreamer | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | daughain: its a text file 'sudo texteditoryoulike /path/to/file' | 12:51 |
| Andy80 | hi all | 12:51 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, ok now i see that it only copies the first video - nothing of the second one is joined | 12:51 |
| sda | oCean_ :mmmm: i find how turn off the bluetooth usb controller. i make echo 0 > /sys/device/platform/asus_laptop/bluetooth; and now the led is off and the trayicon is disappear | 12:52 |
| daughain | Dr_Willis, That doesnt help me much, as I am comparatively new to linux, and have no lcue what the paths are. Or what text editors are on this machine. | 12:52 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, an this happens with flv and mp4 files | 12:52 |
| legend2440 | _raven_: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? that package adds codecs for decoding. you may need that | 12:52 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, yes i have | 12:53 |
| TruthLiker | hi | 12:53 |
| TruthLiker | Any of you using gnome-voice-control ? | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | daughain: time to learn some linux basics.. I guess.. /etc/samba/ is teh path . then pick any text editor you like. nano, vi, geany, gedit. and so on. | 12:53 |
| TruthLiker | Mine gets stuck on calibration. | 12:53 |
| TruthLiker | My mic is working with Audacity etc... | 12:53 |

| Andy80 | I've a very weird problem with karmic... just installed on my desktop PC, using the alternate cd (I had to configure RAID1 for my 2320Gb disks to use them for my /home). I've the / in another disk where I had two partitions: first one WAS ntfs and the second one is ext3. Now... that fu**** installer has flagged the NTFS partition as part of the RAID, corrupting ALL DATA and making it unable to mount/read for me. WTF happened?!?! :( | 12:53 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, i only know the specs of one of them off hand lol its a compaq presario v600AU notebook with a nvidia geforce 6500 graphics card and a broad com wifi card with a second wifi interface wich is a belkin gplus mimo usb netwok adapter lol | 12:54 |
| daughain | Dr_Willis, Thats what I am working on. =) Just need to get a stable install, it seems. | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | daughain: about every release ive tried of ubuntu was stable by my standards. | 12:54 |
| mmaksimov_ | Andy80: you may have misspecified the drive when creating raid volume :( | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | daughain: of course once ya learn the basics/core of linux - most all disrtos are about the same. :) | 12:55 |
| daughain | Dr_Willis, Its partialy a hardware issue as well in this case. | 12:55 |

| Andy80 | mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' | 12:57 |
| mmaksimov_ | Andy80: if you missed some valuable data, restore it from a backup copy. If you don't have a copy, the data were not valuable :( It took me two HDD crashes to learn this :( | 12:57 |
| Barakuda | like system("sudo apt-get install build-essential"); // for example? | 12:57 |
| daughain | Dr_Willis, At east I know what edits I need to make. | 12:57 |
| _raven_ | legend2440, yes but that is what i did not want because joining 200 files in a graphical takes a bit time.... | 12:57 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, this machine is the one i just gave you the specs too its the oldest machine in the house about 3 years the otheres arent much older than 12 months thats why i dont know the specs that well lol | 12:58 |

| SETKEH | zetheroo, yeah the belkin was given to me because i bought a belkin router and the broadcom chip has its moments where it just doesent wanna work so i just run the interfaces together and have them both running if the broadcom decides it wants to start lol | 13:00 |
| Gorlist_ | Good day - having problems install ubuntu 9.10 - its getting confused on my drives. | 13:00 |
| BinaryMan | Andy80: You should be able to use mdadm to mark the drive as inactive, then remove it from the raid. | 13:00 |
| BinaryMan | out of curiosity, try firing up gparted and see what it tells you about your windows partition. | 13:01 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, yeah none of the other machines are running *nix anymore i gave them to my gf and her sisters when i moved in lol | 13:01 |
| daughain | Dr_Willis, Sometimes you need to run before you walk. =) | 13:01 |
| Gorlist_ | I had a RAID array which ive just broken apart and install Win7 on one drive, and intended ubuntu on the second. Windows installed fine, however when I boot ubuntu it still detects my Raid Array, and through Gparted it also lists the two drives individually however their inaccesiable. | 13:01 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: oh well | 13:01 |
| johann | where i go for ubuntu french support ? | 13:01 |
| Andy80 | BinaryMan: how can I see the list of drives that are part of the array? I ask because, for example, cat /proc/mdstat doesn't list that drive... | 13:01 |
| BinaryMan | The drives should show up themselves. | 13:02 |
| Andy80 | BinaryMan: gparted tells me "Unable to read the contents of the filesystem!" | 13:02 |
| Gorlist_ | it still things my ARRAY is still their? | 13:02 |

| Letter3 | BinaryMan: well, I have been to #ubuntu-bugs and they have to say the least not been very helpful and don't seem to care. so why should I? let them figure it out. | 13:06 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: but that package is not available for Hardy it seems | 13:06 |
| AntonyS | Letter3, one person responded to say he didn't want to, he is not representative of the whole ubuntu community | 13:06 |
| tim167 | also, how about ubuntu low latency kernel on a Quad Core machine, how does that perform ? | 13:06 |
| AntonyS | and he's the only person other than me who has spoken in the channel in the last hour or so | 13:06 |
| Gorlist_ | Found it out, need to use dmraid -r -E | 13:07 |
| AntonyS | the time you spend explaining the bug to someone else to report, you could have already reported :) | 13:07 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, are you running old hardware or a server ?? | 13:07 |
| Letter3 | AntonyS: fine, I'll do it. | 13:07 |
| AntonyS | Letter3, basically, in a terminal run ubuntu-bug openoffice.org | 13:07 |
| AntonyS | and that should do half the work for you :) | 13:08 |
| AntonyS | all you need to explain in the report is the description of the problem and how to reproduce it, that way anyone who works on the bug can contact you directly | 13:08 |
| zetheroo | SETKEH: its an older laptop Thinkpad X31 ... got it all setup and working nice with Hardy .... | 13:08 |
| AntonyS | the bugs channel is mainly to help with the reporting/triaging of bugs, not to report bugs on behalf of other people | 13:09 |
| BinaryMan | Andy80: Looks like the raid was set up wrong. | 13:09 |
| Letter3 | AntonyS: why "run ubuntu-bug openoffice.org", if openoffice is the only program that does not seem to show the bug? shouldn't it rather be "run ubuntu-bug gnome" or "gedit"? | 13:09 |

| Andy80 | BinaryMan: no! I've 2 320Gb disks and 1 160Gb disk | 13:10 |
| AntonyS | Letter3, I guess you can report it for gnome overall and let someone figure out where it should go later | 13:10 |
| lmxl | help | 13:10 |
| Letter3 | AntonyS: the problem is that I don't really know in which code the bug is. so I'll go with gnome. | 13:10 |
| Andy80 | on the 160Gb disk I have two partition: the first one is/was NTFS, the second one is ext3 and it's the one I'm using right now for my / partition | 13:10 |
| SETKEH | zetheroo, i installed this system with 8.10 disk and got it semi setup then updated the system to 9.10 and the only thing i had to reinstall was my nvidia drivers once i did that my system was back the way i had it with full compix support and all my data was there :D | 13:10 |

I prefer to use though PC1 keyboard and monitro so i want a remote login, but i want to share the internet too. (to share internet over lan i found the way) If i make a ssh login do i need to share the internet access too, or is it automatically shared? | 14:07 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | that factoid is still wrong. :() | 14:27 |

| toni_ | Slart: no, I just want a script which will unmount the partition and fallsback to busybox, then to run some script automaticly. | 14:29 |
| arand | Dr_Willis: toni_: in that case start in recovery and just run a " fsck -fy ", has worked for me at least. | 14:30 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, You still there? | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | that would be a neat trick | 14:30 |
| trap2 | ok, likewise I use putty to connect to my friends linux terminal from windows. I am now in ubuntu how do I connect to my friends linux terminal ? | 14:30 |
| pompa_ | legend2440: thelast question... after the installation I can remove all that stuff? | 14:30 |
| Slart | toni_: I'm actually surprised that it works on arch.. perhaps investigate what it is that arch does to acomplish that | 14:30 |
| toni_ | Slart: Ferarri ? - I just buiild one yesterday, want the schematics :D ? | 14:30 |
| Slart | toni_: open source.. of course =) | 14:30 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: yes | 14:30 |

| m0ar | How can I chmod +x several files int he same directory, but not all? :) | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | m0ar: regular expressions, or give each file on the command line. but not the others | 14:31 |
| sloopy | S0LIDUS, yes was looking in the kernel config | 14:32 |
| Slart | m0ar: some kind of wildcard should work.. otherwise "find" will do it | 14:32 |
| m0ar | will cd /usr/bin && sudo chmod +x x1 x2 x3 work? | 14:32 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: i found tellico 2.1.1 debs in launchpad you only have to download and install | 14:32 |

| Dr_Willis | m0ar: try it and see.. i thinkit will | 14:32 |
| Slart | toni_: I don't know enough about arch to know why it works there and not on ubuntu | 14:32 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, Did you find anything? | 14:32 |
| m0ar | SETKEH: tried alsamixer? | 14:32 |

| S0LIDUS | trap2, No proplem. | 14:32 |
| toni_ | Slart: do you know how to get in busybox ? | 14:32 |
| pompa_ | legend2440: thak you, I'll use it as a second choice if I cannot install it by sources | 14:32 |
| m0ar | SETKEH: use TAB på get to other sound-inputs. 'Capture' was mine | 14:33 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, Does that mean it is already enabled? | 14:33 |

| legend2440 | pompa_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/tellico | 14:33 |
| sloopy | S0LIDUS, means its already a module and should load when needed, but you can manually load it yourself from a shell | 14:34 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, I am using hardy heron. | 14:34 |
| Flamekebab | Does anyone know why my .local/gvfs-metadata folder would suddenly end up being about 900MB? Can I delete the contents? | 14:34 |
| llutz | S0LIDUS: 22 is default | 14:34 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: its compiled for lucid but should work | 14:34 |

| SETKEH | m0ar, please explain is it a command an apllication ?? | 14:35 |
| sloopy | S0LIDUS, should be in there too... check in /boot/ for a file named config with the kernel version, and grep it for the option | 14:35 |
| toni_ | Slart: busybox, so it can't be forced ? | 14:36 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, Thanks ! | 14:36 |
| trap2 | S0LIDUS: it worked, thanks. I was just confused, I thought -p was meant for password | 14:36 |
| sloopy | S0LIDUS, np | 14:37 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: if you decide to use debs you will also need this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/tellico-data/2.1.1-2ubuntu1 | 14:37 |
| Slart | toni_: it probably can.. but I don't know how... btw.. perhaps you might have better luck remounting root as read only.. I'm not sure but I'm guessing it might have a better chance of working than just unmounting it | 14:37 |
| S0LIDUS | trap2, Sorry -p is port ! Its vital if you are not using the default port. | 14:37 |
| toni_ | Slart: so I can remount it ? | 14:37 |
| SETKEH | m0ar, please explain is it a command an apllication ?? | 14:37 |
| m0ar | SETKEH: Type in terminal, 'alsamixer' | 14:38 |

| S0LIDUS | sloopy, No config ! | 14:38 |
| SETKEH | m0ar, yeah i have a thing sayin master | 14:38 |

| maxagaz | does ubuntu network remix works for AMD ? | 14:39 |
| maxagaz | where can i download it ? | 14:39 |
| S0LIDUS | sloopy, Sorry had dumb ass moment! | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !unr | 14:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: it should I think work. and its avail for download from the normal ubuntu sites | 14:40 |
| Slart | toni_: something like mount -o remount,r / might work | 14:40 |
| Pranav | S0LIDUS, so can I copy files into my computer from that terminal ? | 14:40 |
| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, no, only the i386 is available for download | 14:40 |
| * SETKEH gives up on skype for now | 14:40 | |
| Slart | toni_: to go back to read/write you'd do mount -o remount,rw / | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: and the problem with that is? what are you expecting? | 14:41 |
| saica | hello again. i am still looking for help with initramfs. have to figure out why my system isn't booting. all my progress is in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8565654#post8565654 | 14:41 |
| S0LIDUS | Pranav, You can using ssh but you should consider sftp! Its alot faster. | 14:41 |
| toni_ | Slart: hm, I'll try them. | 14:41 |
| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, I expected to find an AMD compatible version of UNR | 14:42 |
| Pranav | S0LIDUS, ok | 14:42 |
| SETKEH | is out for the night gonight guys | 14:42 |
| saica | at the very least could someone help figure out how i can load some keyboard drivers so I could use BusyBox? | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | maxagaz: amd can run i386 - there is no 64bit UNR | 14:42 |
| S0LIDUS | Pranav, Filezilla supports SFTP! | 14:42 |
| issyl0 | Hi there. Just fitted new graphics card into PC. Boot up: | 14:43 |
| issyl0 | But then we boot the thing up with both monitors plugged in, one informs me ubuntu is running in low graphics mode because (EE)No devices detected, the other one is doing nothing but saying 'vga mode not support' | 14:43 |
| arniokas | What are buffers in emacs? | 14:43 |
| Pranav | S0LIDUS, will try for sure :), thanks anyway | 14:43 |
| issyl0 | What can I do? | 14:43 |
| S0LIDUS | Pranav, np | 14:43 |
| Slart | arniokas: like texts you haven't saved yet | 14:43 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Nautilus supports SFTP... | 14:43 |
| arniokas | Slart, why it's called buffers? | 14:43 |
| Slart | arniokas: or better yet... like tabs in firefox... just an piece of text you're working with | 14:43 |
| toni_ | Slart: I added || echo "failed to mount root" :D | 14:44 |
| Slart | arniokas: I'm not sure.. I would guess it's because the contents are saved in a memory buffer | 14:44 |
| AnirbanHazra | My apache is consuming a huge memory ( 280m) even though no website is running on it | 14:44 |

| maxagaz | Dr_Willis, Ok I'll try it then, thanks | 14:45 |
| Slart | toni_: ah | 14:45 |
| llutz | AnirbanHazra: if no websites running, why does apache? | 14:45 |
| disappearedng | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/159908/ on line 6 is it calling __call__ ? and how do I call new without calling init? | 14:45 |
| rob_p | AnirbanHazra: What's the point if it's not serving up any sites>? | 14:46 |
| bziur | I've got a problem, I installed Isight firmware just as in all tutorials and still cheese seems not to detect my webcam :< | 14:46 |
| AnirbanHazra | rob_p: It will run websites. I just formatted my VPS. | 14:46 |

| toni_ | Slart: I'm going in, wish me luck :) | 14:48 |
| Slart | toni_: break a kernel or something =) | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | arniokas: buffer = 'storage area' so thats why :) more specific | 14:48 |

| llutz | S0LIDUS: grep <searchpattern> /boot/config-2.6.24-26 | 14:50 |
| sloopy | S0LIDUS, use 'less /boot/config-2.6.24-26' and in less '/findMe' will search for text | 14:50 |
| jtaji | trogdor: probably press 'q' | 14:50 |
| jtaji | Troggie: probably press 'q' | 14:50 |
| Troggie | thank u | 14:50 |
| S0LIDUS | llutz, sloopy, Thanks! | 14:50 |
| rob_p | AnirbanHazra: Apache2 launches several processes which each spawn child processes to handle the actual connections. By default, I think it starts 5 or 6 processes to handle requests. If your site(s) are not going to be handling heavy loads, you could probably trim the number down quite a bit without any noticeable impact. | 14:51 |
| bziur | Anyone using intel macbook 2? | 14:51 |
| pompa_ | legend2440: is compiling, I only have a little doubt... After the installation, to cancel and recompile again I can just remove the program from the packages? | 14:51 |
| AnirbanHazra | rob_p: I have already trimmed them ... see the link http://pastebin.com/d690dc73d | 14:51 |
| Troggie | how do i kill all do-release-upgrades to get exclusive lock to do an upgrade | 14:52 |
| AnirbanHazra | rob_p: Do it need more trimming ? | 14:52 |
| rob_p | AnirbanHazra: No. That looks fine. | 14:52 |
| VanRoy | hello everyone. | 14:52 |
| rob_p | AnirbanHazra: What is your overall concern? Memory? | 14:53 |
| AnirbanHazra | rob_p: Yeah .... want to restrict it to at arnd 100-150m | 14:53 |

| aaron11 | Hello I want to know how to shutdown my telnet server. I only need it when I need it, I can leave ssh on but not telnet. Im running Karmic Koala | 14:57 |
| oCean_ | lmxl: probably after making it executable (chmod +x filename.run) then execute it: "./filename.run" | 14:57 |
| Slart | aaron11: probably something like "sudo service telnet stop" | 14:57 |
| pompa_ | legend2440: yes I am. (in Italian). Anyway I suppose I found the answer I was looking for: (from readme:) If you need to uninstall Tellico % sudo make uninstall | 14:57 |
| aaron11 | ok | 14:58 |
| Slart | aaron11: replace telnet with whatever the telnet server is called | 14:58 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: ok good luck | 14:58 |
| Slart | Does anyone know if there is any difference, performance wise, between having a dedicated swap partition compared to having a swap file? | 14:58 |
| Troggie | do-release-upgrade unable to get exclusive lock ?? | 14:58 |
| Slart | !swap | 14:59 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 14:59 |
| airtonix | Slart, apart from the fragmentation of having a swap file ? | 14:59 |
| pompa_ | legend2440: thank you very much, you surely gave you contribute to make an enthusiastic linux user :) | 14:59 |
| legend2440 | pompa_: your welcome | 14:59 |
| AnirbanHazra | rob_p: You are great ... hats off ... problem gone | 14:59 |
| erUSUL | Slart: it is supposed to be the same in modern (2.6.x where x >= 11 or so) kernels. but never measured it or tried it | 14:59 |
| Slart | airtonix: fragementation? it's a fixed file.. why would it become fragmented? | 15:00 |
| lmxl | who can tell me please how to turn up file with format .run??? | 15:00 |
| airtonix | Slart, becuase its a file subject to the same conditions as any other file ... | 15:00 |
| Slart | erUSUL: ok.. thanks.. I think I'll go with a file then | 15:00 |
| oCean_ | lmxl: I just send you: probably after making it executable (chmod +x filename.run) then execute it: "./filename.run" | 15:00 |
| Slart | airtonix: and a normal file will get fragmented over time? | 15:01 |

| lstarnes | lmxl: those are terminal commands | 15:01 |
| Xserver | need a bit kickstart with ubuntu desktop on ec2 | 15:01 |
| airtonix | Slart, depends on which blocks it gets assigned to and if you specify that the swap file is one that auto-grows | 15:01 |
| Xserver | with persistant storage for LAMP | 15:01 |
| Flav_u | Hello | 15:02 |
| Slart | airtonix: oh.. autogrowing swap file? no.. I was thinking of just creating a big static file | 15:02 |
| airtonix | Slart, i assume you understand how a contigious set of data blocks gets put down on a disk when there is not one large set of contigious set of blank blocks for it to go in ? | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | Slart: airtonix linux does not support autogrowing swapfile. it is a fixed size file afaik | 15:03 |
| Slart | airtonix: ah.. but I have a disk with 90% free space I was thinking of using | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 15:03 |
| airtonix | Slart, i don't think there is any difference in performance then | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: you could resize in liveCD | 15:03 |
| Slart | airtonix: and a couple if file fragments isn't really a problem... as long as it isn't hundreds of fragments I'm happy =) | 15:04 |

| airtonix | Slart, actually those concerns of mine aren't a problem (if they are your disk is possibly 99% full) | 15:04 |
| aaron11 | slart | 15:04 |
| dsl_ | ignore my question - I found the answer in system->admin->log in screen :D | 15:04 |
| Xserver | any suggestions for me ? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | macman_: winff and handbrake can help but ffmpeg / mencoder are very complex and deserve some research | 15:04 |
| aaron11 | Slart: I dont know my servers name | 15:05 |

| ActionParsnip | Xserver: whats ec2? | 15:05 |
| Xserver | amazon ec2 | 15:06 |
| aaron11 | Slart: I read an Ubuntu documentation | 15:06 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: hmm.. is that always the case? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: if your ram is sufficient for your needs then you dont even need one. I use 1xRAM for swap, 10Gb for / and the rest for /home | 15:06 |
| pompa_ | ehm... I have the locale setting in Italian, but half of the system is in english. At the first boot a message appeared, telling me that I had to install some ackages for the italian languages, but at that time I accidentally close that window and it never showed up again, how can I do? | 15:06 |
| Slart | aaron11: it might be called telnetd... does that sound familiar? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | oCean_: as far as i've seen yes, its very weird | 15:06 |
| aaron11 | Slart: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-a-telnet-server-in-ubuntu.html | 15:07 |
| oCean_ | ActionParsnip: could it be the umask of the user downloading the file? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Xserver: let me check it | 15:07 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: mmm.. I just need my swap for when chromium goes bananas and starts to eat memory.. it gives me just enough time to get to a tty and kill it.. before the kernel starts killing stuff randomly | 15:07 |
| bziur | anyone had a problem with not working isight even after installing firmware? | 15:08 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 15:40 |
| microhaxo | Is there a package or software for Ubuntu 9.10 that will have better power management for my Eee pc 1000he? I wanted to have a little more power options on when to charge the battery. I dont want the charger to kick in until im depleted to about 88%. I heard its not good to keep charging from 90% to 100. - RE asked because of netsplit. | 15:41 |
| xiven | Did you say that not everything in the repositories has a source package? | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | microhaxo: i the the netbook remox has it | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: most do afaik | 15:41 |
| Downix | xiven: that is true, as not everything *has* open source. But 98% roughly of what is in there does. | 15:41 |
| EagleScreen | microhaxo: may be Kubuntu... | 15:41 |
| microhaxo | I would rather not install netbook remix though, can i just download that specific package and use it with regular? | 15:41 |
| Pelo | CUALL, I'm guessing I don'T know what you meant, just put code: alsamixer in the terminal and I get command not found , | 15:41 |
| xiven | microhaxo> I'm not certain, but i believe I've seen that around before..try searching on sourceforge.net | 15:41 |
| saica | RPM is designed for a different system structure, although as ubottu says they can be adapted with alien. there may be some package managers out there which can handle apt and rpm repositories simultaneously, but who knows what would happen to the system.. | 15:41 |
| xiven | Well surely X Screen Saver package does... | 15:42 |
| CUALL | Pelo: sorry ,is _ alsamixer | 15:42 |
| microhaxo | Ok, ill look around. Thanks. | 15:42 |
| saica | xiven: everything in the standard repositories should have a source package. | 15:42 |
| Pelo | CUALL, command not found | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | microhaxo: i guess you can use this with jaunty: http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-jaunty.html | 15:42 |

| ActionParsnip1 | microhaxo: ive not usd it ut i've seen people use it, its free to download and use, you can uninstall it if its bad | 15:43 |

| ActionParsnip1 | ubuntu__: theres a setting in display some place i believe | 15:44 |
| ubuntu__ | Pelo : nope , is a desktop , it quite bright here , rather than changing at the monitor | 15:45 |
| ubuntu__ | ActionParsnip1: looking now but can't find | 15:45 |
| saica | Downix: with what drivers, the proprietary or the open source? | 15:45 |
| sludge | <saica> okay, that is what I thought..... | 15:45 |
| grawity | xiven: Virtual machines cannot see the real hardware - they only see that which is emulated by VirtualBox. | 15:45 |
| Pelo | ubuntu__, not sure if this will work but check in the pannel applets ( right click pannel , add to pannel) there is a brightness control in there somewhere, but it is meant for lcd and laptop | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubuntu__: you can add the applet to your panel | 15:45 |
| Downix | saica: Mixture, depends on the card. Altho I've had to be picky in both cases. | 15:45 |
| xiven | Okay | 15:46 |
| xiven | So, I need ot tell VBox to emulate it then | 15:46 |
| sludge | <saica> so you say completely avoid ati if running ubuntu? | 15:46 |
| strange | yes fuck ati | 15:46 |
| Downix | saica: nVidia, sadly, lacks support for some of the systems I run. | 15:46 |
| strange | nvidia lacks support for what? | 15:46 |
| grawity | xiven: And VirtualBox can only emulate some types of hardware - a generic video card, a generic display, a generic soundcard. | 15:46 |
| lmxl | hi i dont why i cant on extra effects please i need halp | 15:46 |
| Downix | strange: SPARC, PowerPC, SuperH, MIPS.... | 15:46 |

| Downix | strange: Not all nvidia | 15:47 |
| strange | dunno about sparc dont see why you need gpu for that htough | 15:47 |
| ubuntu__ | ActionParsnip1: able to add but it's at the minimum -,even I increase it still doesn't change . | 15:47 |
| sludge | saica, is there an nvidia czrd AGP card that you recommend for ubuntu? I've been looking at 7300, 7600, and 7800 but the latter is hard to find | 15:47 |
| saica | sludge: the reason i say so is what happened with the recent change in ati's drivers, where a lot of cards were dropped and will never again be supported. also the open-source drivers are not ready. in general i have had a very bad experience with ati and linux and i have not seen anywhere that someone praised an ati card over anything else in linux.. | 15:47 |
| xiven | Pidgin 2.6.4 requires XScreenSaver development headers to be available.....but I can't find it in the repository.. And the website actually recommends NOT compiling from source. | 15:47 |

| nasser | hi everyone! | 15:52 |
| nasser | Which is better, gnome or kde? | 15:52 |
| grawity | There's no "better". | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: its an extra repository you can add and install apps from | 15:52 |
| CUALL | nasser: try | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nasser: both are equally good, they just give advantages in different areas | 15:52 |
| grawity | xiven: Ubuntu PPAs ("personal package archives" or something) are user-owned package repositories. | 15:53 |
| nasser | Which do you use? | 15:53 |
| xiven | But that says untrusted source | 15:53 |
| cabaro | Knome is better | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nasser: also depends which apps you run more, if you use more kde apps, use kde | 15:53 |
| CUALL | nasser: i use gnome | 15:53 |
| Downix | You know, lacking a mouse in X w/ gnome setup is a bit fustrating | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: you add the GPG key and its fine | 15:53 |
| grawity | !best | 15:53 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nasser: there are more than just gnome and kde too | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Downix: i can imagine | 15:54 |
| kotis | when i change my resolution to 1680x1050, i have big "empty" black space in the left side and a bit smaller black space in the right side. so the picture doesn't look right. what can i do to make it look better? i have viewsonic va2216w, ubuntu 9.10, nvidia 7300gs. nvidia-settings think that i have crt monitor. | 15:54 |
| cabaro | i think thre should be a Knome UI | 15:54 |
| xiven | I add the PPA to APT's sources.list file right? | 15:54 |
| nasser | but gnome and kde are the most well-known, aren't them? | 15:54 |
| tizian | Hallo | 15:54 |
| Downix | ActionParsnip1: Could be worse | 15:54 |
| switch10 | does anyone know why the command ls -C doesnt work with a long list of file names?? | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: you can but you will need to manually inport the kep | 15:55 |
| xiven | I don't see the package needed in the "Package" listing on the page..does that mean adding the PPA would be useless to me? | 15:55 |
| CUALL | nasser: maybe ur right | 15:55 |
| Downix | nasser: yes, but not the only ones out there. xfce, sawfish, Enlightenment off the top of my head | 15:55 |
| Elnino | i have a problem with sound, am running ubuntu 9.04 | 15:55 |
| Downix | nasser: Normally I run AmiWM myself | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: if you use software sources you can add: ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa and it will all be handled or you | 15:55 |
| xiven | I don't know how to manually import the key so I'll have to search that up | 15:55 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Elnino: can you give some details, nobody can help without any details which you have failed to provide | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: it marks the source as trusted | 15:58 |

| cabaro | saica: You are forgiven for Xmas sake :) | 16:04 |
| saica | thank you / gracias / domo | 16:04 |
| xiven | Action so the point of the GPG then is to help ensure that the package one is installing, is indeed created by the appropriate maintainer, and is safe software. Correct? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ubuntu__: you wont, you are simply restarting the gui. Not the OS. In Linix the display is seperate form the OS (unlike windows) so if it crashes it can be restarted using that key combination. Windows doesnt have this and a whole reboot is needed which is not practical | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: pretty much yes | 16:06 |
| xiven | Okay..well I've added the PPA, and added the GPG key | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: you can tell apt-get etc to ignore the fact that the repo doesnt have the key on your system | 16:07 |

| ActionParsnip1 | aman_: I suggest you boot to liveCD to run: sudo fsck -a /dev/sda1 | 16:14 |
| siddhesh | hi | 16:14 |
| aman_ | ActionParsnip1, i was not aware of that but i fixed xserver then only the system was able to boot. | 16:14 |

| xiven | Damn...still no MSN support | 16:15 |
| aman_ | ActionParsnip1, can i try that right now in gui? | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AnRkey: id go for an fsck like saica says, | 16:16 |
| cabaro | Pranav: ok, to do it the sryque said: ssh to the box with files, the scp * user@destination:/folder | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | aman_: no as the partition is in use | 16:16 |
| xiven | Can you send configuration directives to dpkg-reconfigure?? | 16:16 |
| sryque | Pranav: from the remote box, run scp /folder-on-remote-machine user@local-machine:/home/Desktop | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AnRkey: you can always restore from backups to fix the data | 16:16 |
| AnRkey | fsck says it's in use | 16:16 |
| aman_ | ActionParsnip1, but ubuntu is on sda3 | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AnRkey: you need to be in a liveCD | 16:16 |
| AnRkey | 700gb, yeah that would be quick | 16:16 |
| cabaro | Pranav: destination needs to have ssh enabled | 16:16 |

| cabaro | its probably on, but you can check it by : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status | 16:19 |
| Fake51 | cyrillic characters, gnome-terminal, any takers? | 16:19 |
| sryque | Pranav, if its installed, its likely already running. You can run the scp command without any additional configuration. | 16:19 |
| Pranav | ok | 16:19 |

| ActionParsnip1 | ubuntu__: did you enable it in the keyboard prefs? | 16:25 |
| legend2440 | tolpico: well you could put icons for the drives on your Desktop and then you would just click them | 16:25 |

| Pranav | sth like temporary for guest | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sebastian: exactly, less writes | 16:28 |
| cabaro | Pranav: home folder | 16:28 |
| sebastian | allright | 16:28 |
| spase | zlt6v4 | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sebastian: you can read infintely, its writes which are limited | 16:28 |
| cabaro | Pranav: or just try : sudo apt-get install filezilla | 16:28 |
| xiven | Action how long have you been using Ubuntu for? | 16:28 |
| sebastian | thanks parsnip | 16:29 |
| Pranav | cabaro, where the destination machine or source machine ? | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: sine 07 but I've used linux since mandrake 6 was released | 16:29 |
| xiven | do apt-get install filezilla on whatever machine you wish it ot be installed on | 16:29 |
| xiven | I'm not sure when Mandrake 6 was released..but ok | 16:30 |
| cabaro | Pranav: the one you have Gnome installed, so the machine you are giving the command from | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | xiven: gftp is lighter than filezilla | 16:30 |
| * saica still hopes a savior will come forward to help with initramfs.. | 16:30 | |
| AnRkey | ActionParsnip1, quess where my iso's for the boot cd are | 16:30 |
| xiven | gFTP may be lighter then Filezilla, but I like Filezilla better. For one thing its not linux-dependent. | 16:30 |
| cabaro | Pranav: it installs an SCP client, and you can try connecting from there | 16:30 |
| Pranav | cabaro, but I dont have password for the source machine | 16:30 |
| sebastian | then i just need an URL to the most up to date PPA with mplayer + vdpau things and smplayer =) | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AnRkey: niiiiiiiice | 16:30 |
| AnRkey | guess* | 16:30 |
| xiven | I love Linux, but I have to be able to operate without it also. | 16:30 |
| Slyone | Hey guys, how do i create an bootable iso image in ubuntu on my usb stick?? | 16:30 |
| AnRkey | will download 1 quick | 16:31 |
| Pranav | and I have gnome installed in destination machine | 16:31 |
| sebastian | Slyone, use the usb-creator in the gnome menu | 16:31 |
| Pranav | cabaro, I am on the destination machine | 16:31 |
| cabaro | Pranav: that is you problem , you need to have access to both machines | 16:31 |
| Slyone | sebastian, gnome menu? | 16:31 |
| xiven | slyone> Google mkisofs | 16:31 |
| sebastian | yeah, you know the panel with applications places system | 16:31 |
| sebastian | system then find usb-creator | 16:32 |
| cabaro | Pranav: im not going to teach anyone to hack | 16:32 |
| Pranav | cabaro, ok | 16:32 |
| Pranav | :( | 16:32 |
| xiven | Who's trying to hack? | 16:32 |
| xiven | Wait, what was he talking about with host machine and destination machine | 16:33 |
| ubuntu__user | ActionParsnip1: using jockey , how do I set it ? | 16:33 |
| xiven | Was he trying to install something other ANOTHER machine using apt-get? | 16:33 |
| ubuntu__user | ActionParsnip1: using jockey , how do I set the brightness ? | 16:33 |
| usuario | eeee | 16:33 |
| cabaro | xiven: no password for source machine, my help stops here | 16:33 |
| usuario | k pasisa | 16:33 |
| xiven | He didn't know the password?? | 16:34 |
| maxagaz | how to set grub2 to boot automatically on windows ? | 16:34 |
| cabaro | xiven: i know the passwords to all the systems i need to have access to. | 16:34 |
| xiven | I could understand forgetting the password..but there are ways to get around that if you google to recover your system | 16:34 |
| cabaro | its a remote machine and no password, so i'm not helping anymore | 16:35 |
| === bongshop is now known as laserstuk | ||
| tolpico | legend2440, I got it. example "ln -s /media/sda3 linkname" one click solution for accessing drives. | 16:36 |
| cabaro | xiven: i just get the feeling that it's not his/her own system, so i stop my help there | 16:37 |
| xiven | Yeah..sometimes the action must be taken. | 16:38 |
| legend2440 | tolpico: where is the link? in the Panel or on the Desktop? | 16:38 |
| imlad | ActionParsnip1, it appears I mounted my ntfs partition, but I cannot see it in nautilus - or at least not the contents... | 16:38 |
| xiven | I usually find its not mounted correctly when that happens | 16:39 |
| tolpico | legend2440, in my case my prompt was on my home folder, so it created there. then i dragged it to panel | 16:39 |
| hacker07 | whats up | 16:39 |
| cabaro | :) Hacker07: | 16:39 |
| imlad | xiven, I will reboot and remount and see what happens. | 16:40 |
| xiven | ok | 16:40 |
| legend2440 | tolpico: ok good. the way i have mine is i put drive icons on the Desktop using the Configuration Editor | 16:40 |
| cabaro | imlad: sudo mount -l | 16:41 |
| cabaro | imlad: sudo fdisk -l | 16:42 |
| cabaro | imlad: maybe check /etc/fstab | 16:43 |

| saica | you might be able to get hardware accelleration in ubuntu 8.10 almost-out-of-the-box or ubuntu 9.04 (by downgrading xserver-xorg and several other packages)... i have tried to install the legacy fglrx in 9.10 and it was not pretty.. | 17:00 |

| saica | Kalic, it was a really awful thing for ATI to do. they screwed a lot of people who had cards one year old and less. | 17:01 |
| * Kalic nods "yes they did" | 17:02 | |

| aman_ | Jeruvy, any views? | 17:02 |
| chandru_in | I've received an AVI file which when played with Totem or Gnome Mplayer displays a message saying "Use Windows Media Player" within the video area and doesn't play. Is there a workaround to make this file play with Totem/MPlayer? | 17:02 |

| Jeruvy | aman_: ah you're using a live session, you need to point it to the device /dev/hda or /dev/sda (or the partition) use 'mount' for more details if you are not sure which one you need to check. | 17:04 |

| domjohnson | Ok | 17:17 |

| Joe__ | after I upgraded to 9.10 my scim icon doesn't appear in the system tray... how do I get that back? | 17:34 |
| om26er | indian_munnda, try this http://lionlix.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/hack-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-gdm-login-screen/ | 17:34 |
| indian_munnda | om26er, reading this only....:) | 17:35 |
| matelot | Joe_ reinstall it ? | 17:35 |
| qwerkus | Is there a way to force the ubuntu liveCD installer to use a given hdd ? The app seems to miss one hdd, althought gparted finds no problems. | 17:35 |
| TimbukFive | qwerkus : use manually partition | 17:36 |
| anton | is it possible to get 4rth menu in Ubuntu main panel? | 17:36 |
| daniel______ | hi! is there anyone with a working copy of a free pascal config file? (/etc/fpc.cfg), mine is missing:( | 17:36 |
| nueva | hola | 17:37 |
| qwerkus | TimbukFive: I am - but there are only two hdds (sdb and sdc) available. How do I force an installation on mission sda ? | 17:37 |
| Chaotic_Descent | My Ubuntu used to be able to mount NTFS external storage devices, but somehow I broke it. I'm not very good at making Ubuntu work. Will upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 likely fix the problem, or should I reinstall Ubuntu? | 17:37 |
| TimbukFive | qwerkus : hm sry than i cant help..got the same problem on automatic partiotion in installtion process, but with manually every hdd was shown | 17:38 |
| protojay | Chaotic, I would reinstall... infact, might be worth getting a new computer too :P | 17:38 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: reinstalling would be kinda drastic as a first step :) | 17:38 |
| Chaotic_Descent | the error I get is "unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Etiher mount the volume as root, or rebuild the NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root." | 17:38 |
| indian_munnda | om26er, that doesn't concern my problem, its just telling that how can we change background image theme and fonts of the desktop but i need to change login screen. | 17:38 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: maybe try to reinstall ntfs-3g | 17:39 |
| chandru_in | erUSUL: w32codecs didn't help | 17:39 |
| om26er | indian_munnda, you can use jaunty (9.04) for that matter... | 17:39 |
| Craig_B | just want to say thank you again guys... my wireless is now working thanks to the info you directed me to | 17:39 |
| chandru_in | :( | 17:39 |
| chandru_in | anyway thanks for all the help | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | chandru_in: :| | 17:39 |
| chandru_in | bye | 17:39 |
| Aberro | Hi. I heed help or any advice. I try to install winduze 7 (this isn't my comp, but anyway i'm sorry for this action), but this sh(ee)t don't boot. Maybe because system is old enought and SATA works only throught RAID controller. Anyway, installer copied files and setup loader, but on next reboot loader writes "Starting up..." and hangs on even before bootmgr is loaded (I try to replace it with GRUB with same results). How can I boot winload.exe | 17:40 |
| Aberro | or how can I boot somehow? | 17:40 |
| TimbukFive | chaotic_descent , u can get permission to use fuse in user/ group configuration in system panel | 17:40 |
| indian_munnda | om26er, I did that in jaunty but i have upgraded to karmic koala. And i want to do that in it now. | 17:40 |
| * om26er don't know how to do that | 17:40 | |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus & TimbukFive: thanks, I'll try looking into those two things. | 17:40 |
| BluesKaj | !grub | Aberro | 17:41 |
| ubottu | Aberro: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 17:41 |
| TimbukFive | !grub2 | 17:41 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:41 |
| Aberro | I restore GRUB, I writing from this comp right now. | 17:42 |
| Aberro | But I need to run win. | 17:42 |
| riddlebox | is there anything in karmic, with ssh terminating the connection after a few minutes? | 17:42 |
| Aberro | Did you know some boot manager that can read ntfs partitions? | 17:42 |
| jwg | Is there a published list of what is or is not suppoprted with the ATI cards? I've got a Radeon 9600/RV350AP that I'm trying to get working. | 17:43 |
| Zeyelth | I'm trying to set up full-disk encryption (LUKS), and have edited /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab to unlock and mount the drive upon bootup. In Karmic though, the prompt doesn't wait very long for the password to be entered, even though I've set the timeout in crypttab to a large number. What am I missing? | 17:43 |
| rsk | Aberro, grub or lilo | 17:43 |
| Aberro | Grub cannot read ntfs and lilo cannot read partitions at all. Damn... | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | Aberro, you can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg by adding your windows OS , despite the warning in the file, save your changes and sudo update-grub | 17:44 |
| juggle | Can the USB StartUp Disk Creator create a PERSISTENT bootable Linux USB disk from a requested linux distro? | 17:44 |
| dahlerus | jwg: try here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti | 17:44 |
| protojay | is downloading torrents supposed to be this slow... ive got a fast connection yet download at like 2-3k/sec? | 17:44 |
| jwg | Aberro: BluesKaj that file will be overwritten on the next boot.. It's dynamically generated.. edit the file in /etc// | 17:44 |
| jwg | !grub2 | Aberro BluesKaj | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Aberro BluesKaj: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:45 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 17:45 |
| jwg | dahlerus: thanks. frustrating after upgrading from 8.04 | 17:45 |
| domjohnson | !bot | 17:46 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | jwg , are you sure , I changed my grub cfg file and updated it with the update-grub command and it hels my changes upon reboot | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | held | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | jwg, it doesn't generate a new file everytime you reboot as you imply, what good would that be ? | 17:47 |
| jwg | BluesKaj: you probably changed it in /etc/boot/grub.cfg .. not in /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. those are two differnt locations.. | 17:48 |
| Chaotic_Descent | no luck getting NTFS external drives working. reinstalled NTFS-3G, and changed user permissions. | 17:50 |
| Chaotic_Descent | NOW do I reinstall Ubuntu? :) | 17:50 |
| cyrille | bonsoir a tous | 17:51 |
| Aberro | Thanks, i'll try in hope that grub 2 can read this damn ntfs. | 17:51 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: I still wouldn't do it, does it work if you are root? | 17:51 |
| Chaotic_Descent | hrm. I seem to have forgotten my root password. although I thought it was the same as this user's password. | 17:51 |
| Jamed | !root | Chaotic_Descent | 17:52 |
| ubottu | Chaotic_Descent: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:52 |
| laughzilla | :) anyone know about installing drivers for brother printer/scanner/copier/fax devices? | 17:52 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: can you sudo? | 17:52 |
| BluesKaj | jwg, never tried /etc/boot/grub.cfg...don't have that file on my setup , so i don't understand your objections | 17:52 |
| maxagaz | how to reorganize favorites in ubuntu network remix ? | 17:52 |
| Chaotic_Descent | uhh... how would I do that? konsole... uh... some kind of... command... | 17:52 |
| TimbukFive | chatoic_descent : maybe i havent real root account , sudo passwd root . to set root pw | 17:53 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: yeah in the console, type sudo some-command | 17:53 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what command? | 17:53 |
| Joelito | hi all, I got a i386 deb package...is it possible to install it on 64 bit ubuntu distro? | 17:53 |
| TimbukFive | chaotic_descent : maybe you havent real root account , sudo passwd root . to set root pw | 17:53 |
| * bleah away : afk | 17:54 | |
| Chaotic_Descent | do I want to set a password? | 17:54 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: for root? yes | 17:54 |
| jwg | BluesKaj: check out the link I posted before.. by ubottu.. | 17:54 |
| TimbukFive | chaotic_descent : once for safety.. and if u want to login as root to try your ntfs issue . yes | 17:55 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I guess... I guess I did set a root password, because when I use sudo I have to type in the same password for my user account. | 17:55 |
| BluesKaj | jwg, there's no such file on my setup, so telling me to check out a grub tutorial isn't necessary | 17:55 |
| Nicked | hello | 17:55 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: yeah, your main user can sudo with its own password as a default, that's normal | 17:55 |
| Nicked | can some1 help me please | 17:55 |
| Nicked | I used Wubi to install Ubuntu, everything worked fine | 17:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | oh geez... sudo nautilus lets me view the external drive. hrm. not very convenient though. | 17:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | although I guess it works. | 17:56 |
| Nicked | but now when I try to enter Ubuntu it says that file system has been modified | 17:56 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: OK, better than reinstalling, but now we can try to find out what the problem is | 17:56 |
| storm-zen | I just lost my menu in jaunty gnome. How do I call it back? | 17:57 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: you say "we" as if I'm capable of more than following instructions. :> | 17:57 |
| TimbukFive | storm-zen : not sure for jaunty buti n karmic its gnome-panel restart | 17:58 |
| storm-zen | ( I was trying to run the fusion icon, and I'm not sure what compiz application I actually ran -- it was an icon without a picture that just said "compiz" ) | 17:58 |
| storm-zen | Thanks, TimbukFive.. that sounds familiar. | 17:58 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: so, you say you checked with your user properties | 17:58 |
| TimbukFive | storm-zen : yep youre welcome | 17:58 |
| storm-zen | There's one already running. I think I may have two sessions of compiz running... | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | well, time for my daily walk | 17:58 |
| storm-zen | Is that possible? | 17:59 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: that you have the right to use FUSE? | 17:59 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: yes. ARG, and apparently sudo nautilus has read-only access to the drive! | 17:59 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: OK, let's type in mount and see what it says | 18:00 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: the only thing not checked is access to faxes, and tape drives. | 18:00 |
| TimbukFive | storm-zen : to reset to default try : gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel ..or u kill with pkill gnome-panel | 18:00 |
| jibadeeha | can anyone here recommend a good gnome/gtk based dvd ripper? | 18:00 |
| storm-zen | pkill gnome seems to have done the trick. Probably an elephant gun approach, though. | 18:00 |
| Ov3rf10w | jibadeeha, acid | 18:00 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: it spit out a lot after "mount" | 18:00 |
| jibadeeha | thx Ov3rf10w | 18:00 |
| jofo | jofo | 18:01 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: OK, do you know what the device name for your NTFS drive is? | 18:01 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: if not just do mount | grep "ntfs" | 18:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: mount | grep "ntfs" did nothing. | 18:02 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: my bad, that wouldn't work | 18:03 |
| enzotib | Chaotic_Descent: sudo bklid | grep -i ntfs | 18:03 |
| storm-zen | I have created a number of paths in gimp that I want to resize all at once. I tried doing it in Gimp, and all the paths just disappeared. Is there another application that can do the job. ( I saved the paths as SVG, so I expect that they are universally editable? | 18:03 |
| teadict | dahlerus, enzotib: what if he has more than one NTFS? ): | 18:03 |
| handjob | Hi all. I woke up today to find there is no sound in my 9.10. Strangely the soundcards (one itegrated and sb live) switched places. I am trying to fix it atm still despite my "alsa-base.conf" looks like this -> http://pastebin.com/f2bc93688 the result of less /proc/asound/cards looks like this -> http://pastebin.com/f6eb3cbd5 . Can somebody please help me. | 18:04 |
| enzotib | teadict: the same for mount, but it restricts the choice | 18:04 |
| Chaotic_Descent | enzotib: bklid: command not found | 18:04 |
| teadict | Chaotic_Descent: "sudo fdisk -l" and deduce which one is it by their sizes | 18:04 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: blkid, but try teadict's suggestion | 18:05 |
| enzotib | Chaotic_Descent: sorry, it is blkid | 18:05 |
| Chaotic_Descent | " /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type fuseblk (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 18:06 |

| jofo | Hello ! I have an Acer Aspire 7520 Laptop under Linux Ubuntu Karmic Koala. Here is its keyboard: http://colson.eu/Clavier_ACER_ASPIRE_7520.JPG | 18:07 |
| jofo | I’d like to rebind a few keys, especialy the keys € and $ (those near the arrow keys), with xmodmap, but xev doesn’t detect them. Does someone know what I could try? Is there a special Acer driver I should install? | 18:07 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I don't remember it being like this before. my USB flash sticks or whatever they're called worked fine. | 18:07 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: try sudo -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1 | 18:07 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: try sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1 | 18:07 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: sorry :) | 18:07 |
| Chaotic_Descent | illegal option o | 18:08 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ah | 18:08 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: sorry, see above | 18:08 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I hate selecting text to copy in IRC. scrolls by and then you can't select "copy" | 18:09 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: you can just select, then paste with middle mouse button | 18:09 |
| Chaotic_Descent | hrm. have to unmount first, it says. | 18:09 |
| ravigehlot | I get fail when trying to restart mysql. There is no entry in the logs. How can I restart it verbose to see what's wrong? | 18:09 |
| Chaotic_Descent | but it deselects as soon as anyone types anything. | 18:10 |
| Chaotic_Descent | so I have to scroll. | 18:10 |

| Pranav | How to get help on "dirent.h" from ubuntu terminal ? | 18:11 |
| fongoul | I am looking for some help setting up .htpaccess and .htpasswd with apache | 18:11 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I tried to umount the drive like it asked, but it still says I can't remount until I umount. | 18:12 |
| AJ_Z0 | fongoul: The folks in #apache are usually helpful | 18:12 |
| grawity | I think you meant #httpd | 18:12 |
| teadict | fongoul: and I think you meant .htaccess, not .ht*p*access | 18:12 |
| fongoul | yes your right | 18:13 |
| teadict | fongoul: also: http://tinyurl.com/ybzat23 | 18:13 |

| fongoul | I am having trouble following the tutorials from apache but thanks for that one teadict | 18:14 |
| tvjudge | I think something is wrong with my boot loader or my kernel has been buggered coz my wireless stopped working on my hardy laptop | 18:14 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: uh... well it's new, but it works in Windows. but neither this nor my USB flash drives work in Ubuntu. | 18:14 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: no USB drives either? | 18:14 |
| pesi | hey anyone have aspire 751h? | 18:14 |
| teadict | fongoul: what's the problem anyway? you should join #httpd anyway, apache is not the responsability of ubuntu | 18:14 |
| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: and my flash drives used to work. I think I messed it up at some point trying to let it access my Windows partition. | 18:14 |
| === ubuntutrepxe is now known as southparkisaweso | ||

| fongoul | I know it isn't ubuntu's area, but i got pointed in the right direction | 18:15 |

| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:15 |

| tvjudge | earlier i was runnin 2.6.24.26-rt but now uname -r shows 2.6.24.26-generic | 18:15 |
| odinsbane | tvjudge: are you using gnome-network manager? | 18:16 |
| Younder | teadict, That's not entirely true. ubuntu does not use Apache's default setup | 18:16 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: :) OK, but was it on the command line? If so, maybe it's still in your bash history | 18:16 |
| tvjudge | odinsbane i was messing with things becoz my sun virtual box was whining about the module not loading | 18:16 |
| Younder | teadict, so things pertaing to the multi-domain setup could/should be explained here | 18:16 |
| tvjudge | yes i am using gnome network manager | 18:17 |

| === jean-claude_ is now known as malibu | ||
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: depends on how much you type in there | 18:17 |
| teadict | Younder: that is if fongoul suspects his htaccess problem is related specifically with ubuntu | 18:17 |
| teadict | fongoul: do you suspect that? | 18:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | wait... there's a /dev/sdb1 that looks like my external drive. I'm not sure what sdb2 was... | 18:17 |
| dagnachew | hi all | 18:17 |
| dagnachew | please help I am stuck at 89 % in oracle dbca | 18:18 |
| odinsbane | tvjudge: you could reboot into your old kernel, if you stil have it and see if that solves the problem. Or you could disable networking and try ifconfig/iwconfig/dhclient routine. | 18:18 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: yeah, but sdb1 was the one we tried to remount, wasn't is? | 18:18 |
| odinsbane | tvjudge: are you sure the card is being turned on? | 18:18 |
| Chaotic_Descent | uhg. where did I get the idea I was dealing with sdb2? | 18:19 |
| Younder | teadict, well that is well covered at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html | 18:19 |

| tvjudge | odinsbare -- I had removed the wireless and the eth0 from the interfaces and was using the gnome network manger to config the network | 18:21 |
| Chaotic_Descent | oh... that's remount, not mount. @_@ | 18:21 |

| Chaotic_Descent | dahlerus: thank you. :) | 18:23 |

| tvjudge | what is the diff between kernels -rt and -generic? | 18:24 |
| odinsbane | tvjudge:I don't really follow that. even if you use network manager you should be able to control your interfaces with ifconfig | 18:24 |
| Jeruvy | mabus: check it out | 18:24 |
| tvjudge | right should i try asdding a line ti interfaces that specifies the wireless wlan0? | 18:25 |
| odinsbane | tvjudge: probably not yet. | 18:25 |

| odinsbane | tvjudge: if you card is an atheros card you could try re-installing the mad wifi drivers (they should be in your package manager) | 18:27 |
| dahlerus | Chaotic_Descent: try gksu ntfs-config | 18:28 |

| and_then | is there a quick way to create a shortcut to a folder on the desktop? | 18:28 |
| rsk | tvjudge, if you need a realtime kernel get -rt | 18:28 |
| rsk | simple as that | 18:28 |

| seizui | Ortheks: Well, when I start up the computer, I am at grub and it quickly (OR SLOWLY) jumps to the no device found error. in my case? It's 1e4f8b8e-9b76-49f0-a45d-9b88c2d08868. I usually have to do the workaround to log in with hitting 'c' and then do the tedious log-in method that I found at the Ubuntu forum. Few methods(including recent ones) that I was looking up, for some reason, still didn't solve my problem. The link that I was looking | 19:07 |
| seizui | up was this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254 (Just in case, and I put the name up front for reference) | 19:07 |

| guntbert | poot: stop that please. Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 19:08 |

| guideX | On my Dell 600m laptop with new 160 gb ata-100 ide hdd, I install Ubuntu 9.10 from Alt dvd in text mode or regular install or live and during install ubuntu thinks my drive is scsi, it installs fine, but on first boot it says 'Error no such device <device>' from grub. I've tried rescue a broken system to fix the problem but doesn't help | 19:20 |
| TimbukFive | happyaron : nice to hear :) you are welcome | 19:20 |
| seizui | Welp. Thank you for answering my questions. You've been a big help! :D | 19:20 |
| guideX | On the same laptop, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a older failing 30 gb hard drive without a problem | 19:20 |
| guideX | I have tested another OS on the new hdd to prove it is working | 19:20 |
| seizui | Huh, you have the same problem that I have, GuideX. | 19:20 |
| `mOOse` | guideX: I have the same laptop as you (I'm on it right now)....hmm....that shouldn't be happening | 19:20 |
| guideX | moose: i just replaced the hdd with a new western digital hdd | 19:21 |
| sentabrina | which file system is better for grub???? | 19:21 |
| guideX | the old one has bad sectors | 19:21 |
| `mOOse` | very odd | 19:21 |
| seizui | I'm still going around with my head cut off, since I didn't get an answer or any assistance of the situation. | 19:21 |
| Naytwin | so, anyone know how to modify the grub startup timeout in Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 19:21 |
| happyaron | a question on software 'screen', I need to run 'sudo service screen-cleanup start' everytime I boot up my system, or I will get 'Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied' | 19:21 |

| InitHello | ok, so I installed mysql-server-5.1 on my girlfriend's computer, and that automatically uninstalled a number of packages.

| mazda01 | haresh, you go to system, administration, update manager | 19:39 |
| sentabrina | and which fileystem to use udner /BOOT??? | 19:39 |
| jayson | say if it were running the screen at the wrong refresh rate | 19:39 |
| grawity | tbrock: in that case, either "parted" or "cfdisk" for partitioning. And "mkfs.ext4" for creating the filesystem (format) | 19:39 |
| sentabrina | i use ext4.. and it is bad somebody told me | 19:40 |
| dsl_ | guntbert: sorry! if i try to change password i get 'couldn't change keyring password' a keyring with that na,e does not exist | 19:40 |

| jayson | I just install ubuntu 9.10 on a fairly new laptop and within 5 min my screen died | 19:40 |

| mota_ | *quick | 19:41 |
| tbrock | so how do i run cfdisk for a disk that is connected via usb | 19:41 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I actually tried pendrive initially and it gave me the same issue im experiencing with unetbootin | 19:41 |

| maritz | hi. i have a problem with my microphone under ubuntu. when i set the microphone volume in the mixer to high (unmute), i can hear myself. but i cannot get my microphone to work in other applications. (and gnome-sound-recorder doesn't even know any input devices) | 19:42 |
| guideX | crap my only problem with this is that I am fixing a laptop for a friend, when I give it back, and ubuntu tries to update grub, it will be back to not booting | 19:42 |
| `mOOse` | oh...what issue bleepbloop? | 19:42 |
| dsl_ | guntbert: its a fresh install of netbook remix. i have my admin account and then set up a desktop type user to auto login | 19:42 |
| guideX | Is it safe to turn off ubuntu updates to prevent this problem? | 19:42 |
| haresh | mazda01, it says my system is up to date | 19:42 |
| grawity | tbrock: cfdisk <device-file-name-of-that-disk> (for example, /dev/sde) | 19:42 |

| guntbert | grawity: So I thought too - but what do we tell dsl_ now? | 19:42 |
| donvito- | if i want in motd to shows the uptime of pc what do i need to type | 19:42 |
| tbrock | says ea | 19:43 |
| donvito- | what kind of command let someone help me | 19:43 |

| grawity | tbrock: uh. What command did you just use? | 19:43 |
| tbrock | it's sdb | 19:43 |
| tbrock | sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb | 19:43 |
| mazda01 | haresh, and what setting do you have for release upgrade | 19:43 |
| guntbert | dsl_: ahh - could be you must allow your second account to access the network (look at the properties) | 19:43 |
| dsl_ | ok i rebooted, the first dialog i get now is for wireless... i entered the admin password now it asks 'choose password for default keyring' i take it i kleave it blasnk? | 19:43 |
| tbrock | thats what i used | 19:44 |
| dsl_ | *blank | 19:44 |
| haresh | there is no setting there mazda01 | 19:44 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I would just install the whole thing but I'm worried that that's a sign that there's an issue with the stuff on the stick | 19:44 |
| grawity | dsl_: ...hm. Yeah, leave the password blank. | 19:44 |
| `mOOse` | have you tried installing the desktop version instead? | 19:44 |
| donvito- | if i want in motd to shows the uptime of pc what do i need to type | 19:44 |
| donvito- | what kind of command let someone help me | 19:44 |
| tbrock | grawity: any ideas | 19:44 |
| guntbert | dsl_: would be a good idea :-) | 19:44 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: would the desktop vesion not work with the netbook though? | 19:44 |
| grawity | tbrock: And it was already partitioned? | 19:44 |

| OerHeks | domnukalu you can use xorg.conf to override the default setting, by hand | 20:00 |
| domnukalu | IdleOne, I did, but I think i didn't do it properly, because system didn't start ok, and I had to delete it manually. | 20:00 |
| IdleOne | domnukalu: I don't mess with xorg.conf so i am not sure what to tell you | 20:01 |
| maxo | or is rsync no good, should I have used something else instead? | 20:01 |
| mazda01 | haresh, System tab, you should have an "about Ubuntu" tab | 20:01 |
| maxo | because it seems to be transferring the files to the server and setting them as read-only, which is a little annoying | 20:01 |

| pawel_121 | `mOOse it's much more customizable, KDE applications are feature reach and qt is very fast toolkit | 20:26 |

| Slart | fortunev: I've heard many users mention openbox.. never tried it myself.. what's so great about it? | 20:27 |
| pawel_121 | Setherd, trolls doesn't have arguments like you don't | 20:27 |
| duffydack | is it better to have an ext2/3 partition and use a driver in windows, or create an ntfs partition, to share data.. | 20:27 |
| pawel_121 | mOOse and KDE looks better compared to gnome, but it's personal feeling for some people | 20:28 |

| sixtila | how do i check if my installation of ubuntu was corrupt or not? | 20:33 |

| ActionParsnip | sixtila: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:33 |
| Slart | Aleoss: it might be a bug in audacious.. or a bug in that madplugin (whatever that is) or something else.. I don't really know | 20:33 |
| guntbert | guideX: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 20:33 |

| mneptok | macman_: install VLC and use it to convert. it has a nice GUIfied menu system. | 20:34 |
| guideX | guntbert: so now i'll try that other command | 20:34 |
| sixtila | slart yes, i had hash mismatch when i installed, but now looks fine though | 20:34 |
| guntbert | guideX: good wait | 20:34 |
| BluesKaj | macman_, goto the ffmpeg website for the optionsal commands | 20:34 |
| sixtila | slart then in debian too i had hash mismatch | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | macman_: or theres andbrake or winff | 20:34 |
| Slart | sixtila: you can always check the md5sum of the install media if you want | 20:34 |
| duffydack | macman_, huh? mpg with x264? I use ffmpeg and winff, it has some good presets | 20:35 |
| Slart | !md5 | sixtila | 20:35 |

| Slart | sixtila: I don't think so.. I've never really looked into it... it might be possible.. I think the md5sums for the installed files are available from the packages.. but I don't really know how to do it automagically | 20:37 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: are the settings I named off the settings I want to be using? | 20:37 |
| gabex | hi, question - i can't get ubuntu (or k3b) to mount/identify my external DVD writer | 20:37 |
| gabex | any tips? | 20:37 |
| guideX | ok now it shows me the permisions | 20:37 |
| guideX | guntbert ^ | 20:37 |
| duffydack | I compile latest and use winff which has a good set of presets. 8 threads encodes at 41fps which is good for x264 | 20:37 |
| sixtila | actionparsnip1 -f install lists a group of files saying they are automatically installed and no longer required | 20:38 |
| guideX | guntbert: now we can change them I'm thinking | 20:38 |
| morphles | ubuntu has weird stuff going on with wireles passwords: on routers you can set quite short pass (lets say 5 symbosl), now on ubuntu if you want to join wireless network, network mannager doesnt let to press connect if password is shorter than 8(or 6) symbols, whats up with that? and how to get around this? | 20:38 |
| guntbert | guideX: yes, but first make a backup copy: sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.backup | 20:39 |
| gabex | i see weird messages (ehci etc) in /var/log/messages | 20:39 |
| gabex | but don't know how to tell ubuntu which device it is | 20:39 |
| === kb is now known as Guest74190 | ||
| gabex | or if it has assigned it one | 20:39 |
| gabex | then to get it to recognize it as an external DVDRW | 20:39 |
| guntbert | !enter | gabex | 20:39 |
| ubottu | gabex: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:39 |
| gabex | sorry. | 20:40 |
| guideX | ahgg | 20:40 |
| sixtila | anyway i could check the md5sum of the installed ubuntu (not the iso) | 20:40 |
| guideX | guntbert: ok cool | 20:40 |
| mneptok | sixtila: no | 20:40 |
| sixtila | mneptok anyway to see if my installation was corrupt? | 20:41 |
| hummesse | hi everybody. I am having a problem where i can not set the get the resolution past 800x600 even though i know the pc is capable of 1200x800. lspci gives me this: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) | 20:41 |
| benjamin__ | Hello | 20:41 |
| Goliath | ji | 20:41 |
| Goliath | hi | 20:41 |
| hummesse | anyone know about this problem? | 20:41 |
| guntbert | guideX: are you comfortable with a CLI editor or would you rather use gedit? | 20:41 |
| morphles | how to make ubuntu accept short password when connecting to wireless? (it doesnt let use shor pasword even if its is real password of access point) | 20:41 |
| Goliath | Hey | 20:41 |
| guideX | vi is the only one i know | 20:41 |
| Goliath | does anyone know how can i use wpa_supplicant to connect to a wpa2 net | 20:42 |
| guideX | the vi under esx anyways | 20:42 |
| maco | Goliath: same as wpa1 | 20:42 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse you probably have to install drivers for you graphic card | 20:42 |
| benjamin__ | I've a problem with 8.04 that my DVD is sooo slow. With hdparm I get "HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device". Any ideas what to do? | 20:42 |
| Goliath | maco how? | 20:42 |
| kymara | hello, can anyone tell me if i have to do anything about this: 'the package cvs should be rebuild with new debhelper to get trigger support' (i had done apt-get install cvs) | 20:42 |
| Goliath | it fails | 20:42 |
| thepacman | BluesKaj, i'm back. i'm not talking the 3xxx series, i'm talking about the ancient 3 series. | 20:42 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse or put some modelines into xorg | 20:42 |
| hummesse | modelines? | 20:43 |
| DrManhattan | sounds like its vesa time. | 20:43 |
| maco | Goliath: i use /etc/network/interfaces with a "wpa-ssid foo" line and a "wpa-psk bar" line | 20:43 |
| thepacman | that is, GeForce 3, GeForce 3 Ti 200, GF3 Ti300, and, uh, i think the Ti500 | 20:43 |
| hellyes | why do I get an "authentication failure" when I type my root password after typing su in the terminal? I use the same password I always use. | 20:43 |
| maco | Goliath: and then just ifup | 20:43 |
| thepacman | made about 8 years ago | 20:43 |
| maco | Goliath: well...."ifup wlan0" or whatever the interface is called | 20:43 |
| hummesse | would lspci even give me the correct name for the card if it has no drivers? | 20:43 |
| guntbert | guideX: vi is perfect :-) - type sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg - do what you have to do and end the session with :x (write+exit), end the chroot session with <ctrl>d and reboot | 20:43 |
| benjamin__ | I had this problem years ago, but don't remember the solution... :-( | 20:43 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse yes, or modes like: Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" in Section "Screen" | 20:43 |
| ardchoille | hellyes: use sudo -i | 20:43 |
| BluesKaj | thepacman, type a 3series ancient or whatever in the search in synaptic ans check properties on the drivers that are listed | 20:43 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, you can use the legacy nviidia driver with that | 20:43 |
| odinsbane | hellyes: did you set your root password? | 20:43 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse it gave you correct name | 20:43 |
| Joe__ | whee not broke again :P | 20:44 |
| thepacman | BluesKaj, i don't currently have a Linux system with Synaptics. | 20:44 |
| guideX | guntbert: thanks, I will try now | 20:44 |
| hummesse | i guess the modeline has to go in my xorg.conf? | 20:44 |
| guntbert | guideX: glad to help and Good luck :-) | 20:44 |
| thepacman | DrManhattan, is there a list of what cards work with this "legacy nvidia driver"? | 20:44 |
| hellyes | odinsbane: it's not the administrator password I gave it at install? | 20:44 |
| hummesse | the problem is that ubuntu does not have one anymore | 20:44 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, geforce 3ti isnt THAT bad as far as an old school card goes, you should be able to do some decent stuff with that | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | well, then your package manager, thepacman | 20:44 |
| guntbert | !sudo | hellyes | 20:45 |
| ubottu | hellyes: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 20:45 |
| ardchoille | hellyes: sudo uses your user password | 20:45 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, there is, I use the legacy driver for an mx440, I will try to get you a link for the list | 20:45 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse yes, they go there, so you must create one and you must have drivers | 20:45 |
| hellyes | ahhh. ok | 20:45 |
| thepacman | DrManhattan, do you know if a counterpart driver exists for older ATi cards too? | 20:45 |
| hellyes | thanks | 20:45 |
| hummesse | but the what about the rest of the configuration of xorg? i dont know what else to write.. | 20:45 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, yes | 20:46 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, I have to leave, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 20:46 |
| kevin__ | quick q: what did they change key combination to restart x too again? | 20:46 |
| hummesse | is there not some autoconfig scripts that generates some default file that i can the edit | 20:46 |
| pawel_121 | hummesse I don't know neither, I had similar problem and I had to search in google for xorg | 20:46 |
| DrManhattan | gf3 im pretty sure will use the 76 legacy series | 20:46 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Anyone knows if there's a way to make an Ati Mobility Radeon x300 work with the latest xorg versions? | 20:46 |
| thepacman | is the ATi one provided by ATI too? | 20:46 |

| evanescent | I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 and I keep getting a black screen | 20:47 |
| thepacman | and do these legacy drivers ship with Ubuntu, or do i need to manually install them? | 20:47 |
| evanescent | I do see the menu, and I pick install ubuntu, and then I see the logo for a bit | 20:47 |
| odinsbane | hellyes: I don't know about that. have you tried su root? | 20:47 |
| evanescent | but it goes black after that. | 20:47 |
| DrManhattan | thepacman, youll have to do the research yourself, but I think there might be packages for ubuntu with those drivers | 20:47 |
| ardchoille | odinsbane: please recomend sudo -i, it's better | 20:47 |
| guntbert | odinsbane: don't suggest that please | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | Supersaiyan_IV, there are no latest xorg versions , only kernel source drivers for your hardware | 20:47 |
| maco | odinsbane: um we have no root password, so i think you mean "sudo -i" <-- hellyes, please read | 20:47 |
| thepacman | thanks a lot DrManhattan!! | 20:47 |

| hummesse | by the way.. what is the clear and compelling reason fort the "sudo" concept instaed of just having a root user? | 20:48 |

| aar | dath, I've got a creative and it works fine | 20:54 |
| evanescent | most work fine | 20:54 |
| Younder | evanescent, have you checked the respective gnove versions? It seems the gdm has trobles handeling a update. | 20:54 |
| apparle | When I Suspend to RAM and then resume... the system starts but monitor remains off what to do? | 20:54 |
| evanescent | Younder, what do you mean? | 20:54 |
| evanescent | Younder, I am installing fresh from the install CD | 20:54 |
| aar | apparle, do you have a swap partition / file? | 20:54 |
| Nrbelex | Does anyone know of a good guide to get Ampache running on 9.10? | 20:54 |
| apparle | aar: swap partition | 20:55 |
| Younder | evanescent, I did a manual gnome update a while back and I got a blank screen at startup. | 20:55 |
| iceroot | Nrbelex: apache? | 20:55 |
| Nrbelex | iceroot, ampache | 20:55 |
| evanescent | Younder, what is odd is that I am running 9.10 now and it works fine, but when I try to install it from the cd I can't. | 20:55 |
| evanescent | installer just hangs with a blank screen | 20:55 |
| odinsbane | so it looks like the sudo -i is recommended against. | 20:56 |
| mohmmed01 | hi this is frist time use liunx it is good I am Mohmmed from libya | 20:56 |
| bleepbloop | okay, if i tried booting UNR from a USB stick on my netbook, and i got the message 'Please remove the disc and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER:' what do i do? | 20:56 |
| Younder | evanescent, is the CD the same ubuntu version? | 20:56 |
| evanescent | Younder, yes | 20:56 |
| iceroot | Nrbelex: sudo apt-get install ampache was not working? | 20:56 |
| guntbert | odinsbane: no, sudo -i is fine - who said otherwise? | 20:56 |
| evanescent | Younder, but I got 9.10 before by upgrading from 9.04 | 20:56 |
| evanescent | this is the first time installing fresh | 20:56 |
| aar | apparle, OK. You might have to try with different kernel versions. It can be very difficult to get some of the older systems to suspend properly. | 20:56 |
| Psi-Jack | Does Ubuntu's ifup/ifdown still use ifconfig/route instead of iproute2 tools? | 20:57 |
| Nrbelex | iceroot, I haven't tried anything yet. I'm just looking for a guide before I do, but everything is outdated. | 20:57 |
| odinsbane | guntbert: the page somebody just pointed out. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:57 |
| guntbert | odinsbane: but I almost never need it anyway, standard sudo suffices mostly | 20:57 |
| odinsbane | At the bottome it says, NOne of the methods below are sugg or supported. | 20:57 |
| Younder | evanescent, and the disk version is updated from the CD?? | 20:58 |
| apparle | aar: What could be the problem... anyway I could locate it | 20:58 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | Afternoon. I finally decided to wise up and use the package manager for more stuff from here on. Unfortunately, I don't exactly know where some things got installed. Does anyone recall where apache2 usually gets placed? | 20:58 |
| evanescent | it was updated via the internet Younder | 20:58 |
| evanescent | the version I have installed | 20:58 |
| evanescent | the version on the CD is just the normal iso | 20:58 |
| guntbert | odinsbane: that is true in that sense: they are mostly not needed at all - and if you get yourself in trouble... | 20:59 |
| Younder | evanescent, right.. Well the CD shoudn't see the disk version. | 20:59 |
| evanescent | Younder, it doesn't, that's not the issue | 20:59 |
| evanescent | Younder, it just hangs when I try to install | 20:59 |
| cabaro | wolf2k: locate apache2 | 20:59 |
| TheRocK| | how to add a non root user to the /etc/passwd file? can someone tell me what the line should look like? | 20:59 |
| sixtila | when i use keyboard to do paste, the mouse doesnt move for like a second ! this is annoying, is it the same for everyone in ubuntu?? | 20:59 |
| aar | apparle, Sorry I'm not sure, but I would start by googling your computer model + suspend. Maybe it's not supported (this is not uncommon with older models). | 20:59 |
| evanescent | TheRocK|, it is preferable that you do not edit this file yourself | 21:00 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: sudo adduser username | 21:00 |
| === ben is now known as Guest17707 | ||
| TheRocK| | well i need to do it with the file | 21:00 |
| Younder | evanescent, that leaves a bad disk. Have you checked the CD for bad sectors? | 21:00 |
| lotta | hello, i'm on this page ( http://gquigs.blogspot.com/2009/01/bad-memory-howto.html ) and i try to apply the option 3. -- i got ubuntu 9.10 karmic (first installation) | 21:00 |
| lotta | so that i don't got this menu.lst file --- i can find a /boot/grub/grub.cfg but there's no kopt=root ... in the while content --- what can i do ? | 21:00 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: never!!! edit /etc/passwd to add a user | 21:00 |
| guntbert | odinsbane: but in the middle it states "best alternative is to simulate a root login shell using the following command... sudo -i " | 21:00 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, why not? | 21:00 |
| evanescent | Younder, I did the consistency check and it's OK. but to be sure, I re-downloaded the ISO and burned the disk again. same issue | 21:00 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: if you break that file you will get big problems | 21:01 |
| sixtila | does your mouse also stops for a sec when using keyboard ctrl+v ? | 21:01 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: so use adduser | 21:01 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, well i just want to add a user, i tried, but the user has root priviliges | 21:01 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: the dont put him in the admin-group | 21:01 |
| evanescent | you can disable that | 21:01 |
| TheRocK| | and i don't have adduser on here, and it should work with the passwd file aswell... | 21:01 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | cabaro: Unsure if this is a good thing or not, but...by the looks of things, it installed apache where I originally installed it via source. If that's the case...I have no clue which httpd.conf file it's calling upon, because my attempts at visiting localhost/test.php (local file) aren't working. | 21:01 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: you are on ubuntu? | 21:01 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, can you tell me what the line should look like for a non admin user? | 21:02 |
| Younder | evanescent, ok, so basically 9.10 is the problem. And a update overts the problem. How about the graphics driver on the disk version? | 21:02 |
| TheRocK| | yea | 21:02 |
| sixtila | anyway i could use both my keyboard and mouse at the same time? using keyboard makes mouse unavailable | 21:02 |
| evanescent | Younder, nvidia's proprietary one is what I use on the version I have installed | 21:02 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: just dont put him in the groups root and admin | 21:02 |
| aar | Hi, I'm trying to block all ports except for 80. I've fed this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/347770/) to IPTABLES, but that blocks everything including port 80. Where am I going wrong? | 21:02 |

| evanescent | TheRocK|, system > administrator > users and groups | 21:02 |

| aliendude5300 | Hi, I can't connect to my wireless network on Ubuntu ( or any other networks that use WPA/WPA2 encryption ) -- WEP works fine. I'm using an Atheros chipset. | 21:03 |
| TheRocK| | well i have only the command line, no gnome | 21:03 |
| guntbert | TheRocK|: then 1) type man adduser -- 2) sudo adduser newname | 21:03 |
| sixtila | can i make my mouse and keyboard work the same time? its annoying in games | 21:03 |
| TheRocK| | so i really have to do it through the passwd file | 21:03 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: use adduser as i told you before | 21:03 |
| invisime | I have an older machine that I'm trying to put karmic on from live disc. it boots just fine, but it quickly becomes unresponsive during install. | 21:03 |

| cabaro | wolf2k: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is your best bet for | 21:03 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: dont edit /etc/passwd | 21:03 |
| invisime | is there a way to install 9.10 that isn't so resource intensive? | 21:03 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, i don't have adduser, and i would have to recompile the kernel to get it | 21:04 |
| mazda01 | ne1 use a usb wireless keyboard/mouse combo with a KVM? | 21:04 |
| cabaro | wolf2k: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or this | 21:04 |

| invisime | (I suspect it's the cd drive that's the bottleneck.) | 21:04 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: every ubuntu-system has adduser | 21:04 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | cabaro: nothing was in the file | 21:04 |
| Younder | evanescent, well obviously the disk version doesn't use that. What happens when you trie to run GDM on disk with the standatd driver? (To log in if it fails use the text option in the grub loader | 21:04 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | that is, nothing was in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 21:04 |
| guideX | `m00se`: yes http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254 apears to have worked | 21:04 |
| guideX | It looks like it's booting | 21:04 |
| cabaro | wolf2k: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf sorry, i think its this one | 21:04 |
| aliendude5300 | invisime: install the server edition, then sudo apt-get install gnome. | 21:04 |
| iceroot | wolf2k_ubuntu: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 21:04 |
| sixtila | using keyboard makes my mouse not respond for a short second, can that be fixed | 21:04 |
| hellyes | how can I gain root access in the Gnome environment? | 21:05 |
| iceroot | !gksudo | hellyes | 21:05 |
| ubottu | hellyes: 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) | 21:05 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, not mine, and there has to be a way to do it with the passwd file, i have done it before, but somehow the user i added was always root | 21:05 |
| aliendude5300 | wait -- I'll get you the exact command that might not be 100% correct... | 21:05 |
| duffydack | aliendude5300, I had to use wicd instead of network-manager for a friends setup in karmic.. worth a try if you dont find any other answer. | 21:05 |
| dorst | somebody can help me to install webcam on ubuntu? thanks | 21:05 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | ...then again, I think I've figured out the system | 21:05 |
| duffydack | aliendude5300, saying that, it works ok | 21:05 |
| evanescent | Younder, I haven't tried that. I could try installing in the safe graphics mode and it might work | 21:05 |
| invisime | aliendude5300: would it be too much to ask for a link to that version's iso? | 21:05 |
| evanescent | just occured to me | 21:06 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: use adduser!! | 21:06 |
| evanescent | but it would probably be broken once installed | 21:06 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: sudo adduser newusername | 21:06 |
| guideX | guntbert: thanks that really really worked. | 21:06 |
| cabaro | wolf2k: did you find it? | 21:06 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, as i said before, i don't have that... | 21:06 |

| guideX | dietpepsi | 21:07 |

| wolf2k_ubuntu | cabaro: /etc/apache2 contains many files split up instead of the one big httpd.conf file, including a better site management system. /var/www is the initial location for page building now. | 21:08 |
| aliendude5300 | invisime: 32-bit or 64-bit? | 21:08 |
| odinsbane | TheRocK|: adduser might be in a directory that isn't in the std path. ie /usr/sbin/adduser | 21:08 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | If nothing else, you may want to put this in an FAQ | 21:08 |
| invisime | 32. that's why I can't find it. | 21:08 |

| iceroot | TheRocK|: tell me why there is no adduser | 21:11 |
| invisime | aliendude5300: I was thinking of going with fluxbox for my window manager. | 21:11 |
| g0tcha | ive installed openvpn but its asking for the cert and all these stuff that i dont have | 21:11 |
| fujnky | hm. i get "Cannot execute file", when i try to execute "fah6" of Folding@home 6.24.. already tried chmod +x ./fah6 | 21:11 |
| TheRocK| | ok let me put it this way, the box i have is a very small one with very limited hardware, and if i would add adduser, i would need to recompile the kernel | 21:11 |
| aliendude5300 | you can still use gnome... it's actually quite minimal without ubuntu customizations. How much ram does your PC have? | 21:11 |
| invisime | aliendude5300: 256 MB. | 21:12 |
| odinsbane | TheRocK|: how about useradd | 21:12 |
| natschil | does anyone know why apt-get install perl-doc tells me that http://sd.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-doc_5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2.2_all.deb is not accessible? | 21:12 |

| natschil | (404) | 21:12 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: what is the output of lsb_release -a | 21:12 |
| invisime | aliendude5300: it can actually handle xubuntu decently as long as I don't have too many apps going. but fluxbox seems to be even slimmer. | 21:12 |
| TheRocK| | iceroot, command not found | 21:13 |

| Aleoss | How do I disable my Synaptic Touch Pad? I tried using xorg.conf and that didn't do anything. | 21:13 |

| iceroot | TheRocK|: then you are not using ubuntu | 21:13 |
| aliendude5300 | invisime: I had a PC running Ubuntu on 256MB fine for the longest time, but that was before Gutsy even came out, I'd think for most things you'd be fine however... What I think you should do in your case is download the custom distribution of Ubuntu called Crunchbang... | 21:13 |

| TheRocK| | iceroot, i just need to edit the group file, then it should be all good | 21:13 |
| aliendude5300 | invisime: Crunchbang uses OpenBox. It's VERY lightweight. I have a 128MB Pentium III running on it just fine... even with onboard graphics. | 21:13 |
| iceroot | TheRocK|: man group | 21:14 |

| aliendude5300 | invisime: regular worked fine for me, and that's considering it was a Pentium 3 with 128MB ram. I don't know the difference between the two but I think the lite just comes with less apps. I'd suggest the regular version. | 21:15 |

| Lokin | cabaro: ? | 22:21 |
| kinja-sheep | zoke: That is a lie. I have installed Ubuntu Karmic from USB many times. The wiki may be outdated. | 22:21 |
| Lokin | vlt: and doing the dd would maintain the full 1tb partion even though it's being coppied from a smaller drive? | 22:22 |
| uffdaa | guideX: i am using Crunchbang on my Dell 600 and it rocks | 22:22 |
| zoke | kinja-sheep, how do I do it then? | 22:22 |
| zoke | where is the tutorial | 22:22 |
| cabaro | Lokin: dd if=/dev/sd? of=/dev/sd? you need to know the device names | 22:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetprince, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/347808/ | 22:22 |
| Aleoss | Noob question: What's the command for making a file? I tried mkfile and that didn't work. | 22:22 |
| BinaryMan | um, dd a drive to a smaller drive won't work. | 22:22 |
| casa | hi | 22:23 |
| LjL | Aleoss: touch filename | 22:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetprince, but I don't recommend removing Pulse - though I gave directions on how | 22:23 |
| cabaro | aleoss: touch filename | 22:23 |
| Aleoss | Thanks. | 22:23 |
| kinja-sheep | zoke: My method is a tad different as I use minimal instead of LiveCD but you should be able to achieve the same result. You have a fast Internet? | 22:23 |
| sweetprince | ZykoticK9, Why not? | 22:23 |
| dath | i get this: 500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate. i thought vsftpd uses the ubuntu snakeoil cert by default? | 22:23 |
| Lokin | cabaro: Ok one sec I'm cathing up here. | 22:23 |
| zoke | kinja-sheep, reasonably fast | 22:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetprince, introduces other issues - no volume control on Panel for one | 22:23 |
| kinja-sheep | zoke: Okay. I'll help you walking through it. 32 or 64bit? | 22:23 |
| sweetprince | hmm | 22:23 |
| JoeSomebody | zoke: i am a newbie and i installed karmic from a usb stick, search netbootin | 22:23 |
| cabaro | Lokin: ok, im off for a 5min 'air'break at the balcony | 22:24 |
| Lokin | cabaro: enjoy. | 22:24 |
| bleepbloop | I have a question about formatting a USB stick for booting from it | 22:24 |
| JoeSomebody | I am running karmic, my win machines stopped seeing my shared ntfs, any way to fix without reboot? I assume rebooting the karmic box would do, but i would like to fix it, can anyone help? | 22:24 |
| Lokin | vlt: How do I determine which of these disks is the 1tb and which is the 500gb? | 22:24 |
| zoke | kinja-sheep 32bit | 22:24 |
| Lokin | vlt: in fdisk it doesn;t show. | 22:24 |
| zoke | kinja-sheep nvm | 22:24 |
| Nrbelex | Hi, (very new to this) I'm setting up an ampache server and attempting to add a catalog. I get the message "Catalog created Error: unable to open (the path I had)" --- How do I give the server access to the path with the stored music? | 22:24 |
| zoke | I found a website tool | 22:24 |
| `mOOse` | bleepbloop: - you still having trouble? | 22:24 |
| vlt | Lokin: `fdisk -l` should tell you | 22:24 |
| zoke | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 22:24 |
| BinaryMan | Lokin: What you could do is dd if=/your/1tb/drive and pipe the output to bzip, creating a bzipped image of the partition. | 22:24 |
| kinja-sheep | zoke: Alright. :) | 22:25 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: yeah | 22:25 |
| BinaryMan | or pbzip if you have a multi-core CPU. | 22:25 |
| BinaryMan | !info pbzip2 | 22:25 |
| ubottu | pbzip2 (source: pbzip2): parallel bzip2 implementation. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.5-1 (karmic), package size 24 kB, installed size 92 kB | 22:25 |
| vlt | Lokin: You don't want what BinaryMan suggested | 22:25 |
| Lokin | vlt: I know, | 22:25 |
| `mOOse` | hmm | 22:25 |
| d9500 | lokin, if you want to somewhat automate the process, see http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/133012-easily-upgrade-any-hard-drive-with-linux. print the instructions out and use them as a reference when cloning the drive | 22:25 |
| Lokin | vlt: fdisk -l doesn't print anything | 22:25 |
| BinaryMan | Fine. Don't listen. When you lose data, please don't come in here expecting someone to have a solution to cover it. | 22:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lokin, use "sudo fdisk -l" | 22:26 |
| shadow98 | trism: any ideas | 22:26 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I formatted the USB stic for FAT32 and 32 kb and then used unetbootin to put UNR 9.10 on it and make it bootable | 22:26 |
| Lokin | good call | 22:26 |
| `mOOse` | ok | 22:26 |
| `mOOse` | then what | 22:26 |
| trism | shadow98: installing it now to check, kind of large so it's taking a minute | 22:26 |
| vlt | Lokin: You have to be root. For changing /home you should boot to "recovery mode" anyways (or boot a decent live cd) | 22:26 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`:and it doesnt take me to the menu | 22:26 |
| shadow98 | trism: i installed it using djl | 22:26 |
| `mOOse` | I really think you need to fdisk first THEN format | 22:26 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I tried pendrive and that didnt work at all | 22:26 |
| Lokin | If I had my laptop this would be a bunch easier. | 22:26 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`:ohhhhhhh, I completely missed that fdisk thing | 22:27 |
| Paddy_NI | Hey is there anyway to turn off icon labels in docky (gnome-do) ? | 22:27 |
| `mOOse` | bleepbloop: that's only for the desktop live cd version, you know that right? | 22:27 |
| guideX | `mOOse`: I got my laptop working with that tutorial | 22:27 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: what is only for the desktop live version | 22:27 |
| vlt | Lokin: It's hard to understand what you exactly want to do (what laptop?!?) ... | 22:27 |
| shadow98 | trism: http://www.dedoimedo.com/games/linux-million-games.html | 22:27 |
| `mOOse` | the pendrive installation apps | 22:27 |
| `mOOse` | excellent guideX | 22:27 |
| `mOOse` | :) | 22:27 |
| cabaro | Lokin: you needto be very sure that 'if' is the source and 'of' is the destination | 22:27 |
| bleepbloop | i think i figured that out cause pendrive doesnt work | 22:27 |
| Zelest | I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.10 and use it as a KVM host, together with libvirt. I'm curious how to do a somewhat more graceful shutdown? Right now it seems like a shutdown of the host system instantly kills the kvm processes and simply "pulling the plug" for the VM's .. can this be avoided/fixed somehow? | 22:28 |
| JoeSomebody | I am running karmic, my win machines stopped seeing my shared ntfs, any way to fix without reboot? I assume rebooting the karmic box would do, but i would like to fix it, can anyone help? | 22:28 |
| cabaro | !dd | 22:28 |
| trism | shadow98: it is in the repos (in karmic anyway), did you install it from there? | 22:28 |
| bleepbloop | but ive heard of cases in whihc people used netbootin for UNR on the same machine as i am using | 22:28 |
| shadow98 | trism: no | 22:28 |
| trism | shadow98: sudo apt-get install xmoto (seems to run fine) | 22:28 |
| seven | hia | 22:28 |
| guideX | `mOOse`: did you run into the same problem again, or do you lock down that file somehow | 22:28 |
| === seven is now known as bredoto | ||
| uffdaa | <JoeSomebody> : could try sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 22:28 |
| `mOOse` | which problem is that guideX? | 22:28 |
| Lokin | vlt: sorry, just ignore that. I'm running on an unaultered ubuntu and hate the color scheme, it screws with me a little too much. and here, got the drive names (http://pastebin.com/m7de1d549) | 22:28 |
| trism | shadow98: I would try it from there, unless you require a newer version for some reason | 22:28 |
| BinaryMan | JoeSomebody: is samba -- nevermind. | 22:28 |
| Aleoss | How do I execute a script through bash? | 22:29 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: how do I do fdisk? | 22:29 |
| Lokin | vlt: and if I had my laptop I could boot sum on this computer and get it does that way. | 22:29 |
| JoeSomebody | uffdaa, thx will try | 22:29 |
| Lokin | vlt: while still talkign to you guys. | 22:29 |
| cabaro | aleoss: sh ./scriptname | 22:29 |
| Lokin | vlt: ok so can I do dd while logged in? or do I need to get on a live disk? | 22:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | Aleoss, "sh script.sh" or make it executable "chmod +x script.sh" then just "./script.sh" | 22:29 |
| colemickens | How would I make a symlink that would let me take the contents of /x/*.* and symlink them into /x/y/z/*.* | 22:30 |
| bredoto | does anyone know how to automatical deploy a lot of ubuntu boxes? Does Ubuntu allow a way of automatical deploymend like Zenwork Imaging? | 22:30 |
| === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman | ||
| vlt | Lokin: I need more details. Where is your current /home for example? | 22:30 |
| hat | what is the apple channel ? | 22:30 |
| JoeSomebody | uffdaa, that did it thanks very much :) | 22:30 |
| `mOOse` | bleepbloop: in that partition program I pasted you - you have to right click on the flashdrive and choose DELETE - that deletes the partition on there, then you have to right click on it again, and CREATE a new (primary) partition on it | 22:30 |
| `mOOse` | takes 10 seconds | 22:30 |
| odinsbane | colemickens: you can use ln -S (I forgot the order of the targets/source) and use absolute directories. | 22:30 |
| `mOOse` | then you can also format it from there too | 22:31 |
| cabaro | colemickens: ln -s /x /x/y/z | 22:31 |
| trism | shadow98: there seems to be an ubuntu deb on the xmoto site if you really need the latest and greatest | 22:31 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`:ah, sorry I'm such a noob! :( | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | colemickens, ln -s /x/*.* /x/y/z/*.* | 22:31 |
| guideX | bredoto: why not make an image with norton ghost or something and then image the machines you want to use | 22:31 |
| `mOOse` | it's ok lol | 22:31 |
| bredoto | colemickens, for i in *; do ln -s /x/$i /x/y/$i; done | 22:31 |
| `mOOse` | I am too! | 22:31 |
| chrisdone | I have a logitech quickcam. used to work in ubuntu, since intrepid it is completely broken. is there a fix? | 22:31 |
| trism | shadow98: actually, just noticed it is the same version in the repo, so you're really better off with that | 22:32 |
| === GENT is now known as samefag | ||
| Lokin | vlt: ok, let me give you a run down. I built this computer. I could only afford a 500gb at the time and have all my stuff on that.(so home is where is should be[/home]) then I got this new drive, installed it. and then installed Ubuntu onto it.(Unaltered ubuntu with home in /) | 22:32 |
| manoelufscar | Hi. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 with a ATI X300 graphic Card. After instaling the system everything works great, but a tried to install the drivers for my card and now I only can use vesa resolution... Please anyone know how to return to the older graphics configuration? OR http://pastebin.com/d73c116d8 | 22:32 |
| cabaro | colemickens: ln -s /x/y/z /x | 22:32 |
| BLOODCLAW | . | 22:32 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`:whenever i open that partition program, I'm not quite sure which is my USB stick | 22:32 |
| cabaro | colemickens: bredoto got it | 22:32 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: and i dont want to fry the computer in the process accidentially | 22:32 |
| `mOOse` | bleepbloop: look at the size | 22:32 |
| Bax | so there is no way to import or open Outlook (2003 or newer) .pst files in Ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| bleepbloop | lol | 22:32 |
| `mOOse` | how big is your flashdrive? | 22:32 |
| vlt | Lokin: Aah, so your already running from the new drive on sda, right? | 22:33 |
| `mOOse` | it should be a discrete drive too - not a part of another drive | 22:33 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: well it is supposed to be 8 GB, bu in this app it lists one that has 10 GB capacity and has 7 GB used | 22:33 |
| Lokin | vlt ya. | 22:33 |

| vlt | Lokin: btw, if you were using LVM this would be soooo much easier ;-) | 22:33 |
| Lokin | vlt: LVM? | 22:34 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: nah this is a Eeepc 1005 | 22:34 |
| `mOOse` | oh yea ok | 22:34 |

| `mOOse` | does that even have a hd? | 22:34 |
| vlt | Lokin: Ok, so you want your "old" settings ans stuff "back" , right? | 22:34 |
| bleepbloop | nah | 22:34 |
| `mOOse` | or am I thinking of another eepc with just ssd | 22:34 |
| `mOOse` | ok, so then you can't delete the wrong partition because there isn't one! | 22:35 |
| Lokin | vlt:ya. andl I'm going to partion the 500gb drive and install another os | 22:35 |
| bleepbloop | well i can see in the app which are the important things not to touch | 22:35 |

| vlt | Lokin: Ok, please boot into recovery mode or login as root on tty1 (do you know how?) | 22:36 |
| imlad | mounted an ntfs volume from an ubunto 9.10 install CD, but for some reason cannot access the volume :-( | 22:36 |
| Lokin | vlt: recovery mode on sda? | 22:36 |
| Paddy_NI | vlt, you may have uncleanly shutdown windows or not run a chkdsk.. you will have to force mount it | 22:37 |
| vlt | Lokin: The problem is: When you are logged in it is not recommended to overwrite your home dir with old data. | 22:37 |
| gui7 | ello | 22:37 |

| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: is that a bad idea? | 22:38 |
| bredoto | how about automatic ubuntu deployment? | 22:38 |
| CrocoJet | ops sorry | 22:38 |
| `mOOse` | not to my way of thinking bleepbloop ;-) | 22:38 |
| guideX | is there something like task manager for ubuntu | 22:38 |
| hellyes_ | how do I run a .bin file? | 22:39 |
| Paddy_NI | guideX, system-monitor | 22:39 |
| bredoto | I cant use ghost or somethink like that becouse of large quantity of hosts | 22:39 |
| guideX | why not | 22:39 |
| vlt | Lokin: Ubuntu normally has nor root pw set. I'd recommend running `sudo passwd` to set one, then press ctrl+alt+F1 to get a tty login and log in as root. | 22:39 |
| Paddy_NI | guideX, to be more precise "gnome-system-monitor" | 22:39 |
| Aleoss | Why isn't this command working in bash? wine start "Steam" "/home/aross/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe" | 22:39 |
| odinsbane | hellyes_: make it executeable | 22:39 |
| guideX | Paddy_NI Thanks | 22:39 |
| Paddy_NI | guideX, or type "top" in a terminal.. "htop" is also very nice | 22:40 |
| minimec | hellyes_: make it executable an run it with ./yourfile | 22:40 |
| vlt | Lokin: Come back to the "desktop" with ctrl+alt+F7 | 22:40 |
| Aleoss | I even tried it without the "Steam" in there | 22:40 |
| Lokin | vlt: ok. one sec | 22:40 |
| hellyes_ | odinsbane: how do I make it executable? | 22:40 |
| guideX | bredoto you make an image for each computer type, then use a usb floppy to boot from, install the image | 22:40 |
| hellyes_ | it is on my desktop btw | 22:40 |
| gui7 | i'd like to auto-replace certain strings i type - ie, often ill type "liek" and "teh" by accident, and i'd like those to be auto-replaced by ubuntu (no matter which program i'm on). is there any way to do this? | 22:40 |
| guideX | it takes like 10 minutes to install the image | 22:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Aleoss, tried "wine /home/aross/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe" ? | 22:40 |
| === cp is now known as Guest9380 | ||
| odinsbane | hellyes_: right click on it , go to properties and permissions | 22:41 |

| ZykoticK9 | Aleoss, that path is wrong! there is no "c:"!!! | 22:41 |
| Aleoss | ZykoticK9: That doesn't work either. | 22:41 |
| `mOOse` | yes bleepbloop gone forever | 22:41 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I may have just deleted a partition on something that's not my usb stick haha | 22:41 |
| Aleoss | ZykoticK9: Err... ya there is... | 22:41 |
| bredoto | guideX, How can i deploy additional software pack on some of them in later time if it will be needed? | 22:41 |
| `mOOse` | you *can* undelete but you need a live cd like tinyxp christmas edition with hirens on it | 22:42 |
| Lokin | vlt: ok. so then do.. dd /dev/sda /dev/sdb | 22:42 |
| vlt | Lokin: No | 22:42 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: I just clicked 'undo' | 22:42 |
| Lokin | vlt: Lol. ok. | 22:42 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: all is fine once again | 22:42 |
| vlt | Lokin: That would delete all you old data | 22:42 |
| hellyes_ | odinsbane: ok. I selected "allow executing file as program", but it is still a .bin file and it won't run if I click on it... | 22:42 |
| Aleoss | ZykoticK9: me@my-computer:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Steam$ | 22:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Aleoss, you're right! try using "wine /home/aross/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe" | 22:43 |
| odinsbane | hellyes_: you have to change the permission too. | 22:43 |
| vlt | Lokin: Did logging in as root work? | 22:43 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: if this USB stick isnt showing up on the app, how do i get it in there? | 22:43 |
| Lokin | vlt: ya. | 22:43 |

| ZykoticK9 | Aleoss, but you'll probably need quotes around it like -- wine "/home/aross/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe" | 22:43 |
| Jad-J | something went wrong.. I couldn't move my mouse.. | 22:44 |
| odinsbane | hellyes_: from the terminal go to where that file is. | 22:44 |
| Aleoss | ZykoticK9: It's saying that Wine isn't installed. But it is. | 22:44 |
| Jad-J | so I clicked: ctrl F4 F4 | 22:44 |
| Aleoss | I installed it from the PPA. | 22:44 |
| Jad-J | im using irssi from there.. how can I get back to my desktop? | 22:44 |
| Jad-J | (I killed some proccesses) | 22:44 |

| Aleoss | Oh wait... it did delete it :O | 22:44 |
| vlt | Lokin: So logout on tty7. Then you'll be disconnected from this channel. So I could either tell you everything now or you just login from tty1 using irssi for example. | 22:44 |

| Alloosh1 | odinsbane: in the guide you gave me I had to use grub, which I did, and now cant boot | 22:55 |

| kinja-sheep | gui7: Correct yourself. Type the and like. | 22:55 |
| Lokintwo | vlt: but I logged out and logged in as root in ttl1 | 22:55 |

| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: haha yeah, I was actually looking at FreeBSD but I don't want to put anything else on here until I'm better versed in computers :-P | 22:56 |
| odinsbane | Alloosh1: right you boot from the live cd and then you run grub-install . | 22:56 |
| gui7 | kinja-sheep, i do try, but it's often hard. plus it's an interesting challenge to get to know some parts of linux im not quite familair with (yet!) | 22:56 |

| unop | sda, you can use gksu/gksudo here as long as you don't interact with the command line application. you can also set sudo up to not prompt for a password by configuring the /etc/sudoers file -- for help with that see the sudoers and visudo manpages | 23:03 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: so I just uninstalled it | 23:03 |
| ghostknife | When I rebuild the kernel, can I use make menuconfig to configure the options when using the standard build technique (the scripts in debian/rules). Will it reconfigure using the configs in debian.master/config?) | 23:03 |

| uffdaa | <marcel__>: the box says, a1181 | 23:14 |
| chrisdone | odinsbane: all of them, I tried cheese, ekiga, skype, vgrabbj. none work since intrepid. apparently (so I've read) a lot of webcams broke on intrepid and "we're working on it". I wonder if I can downgrade seamlessly | 23:14 |
| `mOOse` | now remember - you have to teach your gramma and your 11 yr old nephew how to do this! | 23:14 |
| hellyes_ | I just installed OpenOffice.org 3.2 beta. It didn't make any icons or entries in the main menu and I can't find it in my synaptic package manager. How do I access the office programs? | 23:14 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: So I thought did the flipping dealie right, but when I open the partitioning app, it still doesn't recognize the USB stick | 23:14 |
| paragonc | hrmmm ok still no audio | 23:14 |
| uffdaa | <marcel__>; model number A1181 | 23:14 |
| bleepbloop | I thought I did* | 23:14 |
| marcel__ | uffdaa: Thanks. | 23:14 |
| jiohdi | hellyes, how do you know it was actually installed? | 23:14 |
| `mOOse` | are you in xp, vista, win7? | 23:14 |
| `mOOse` | which? | 23:14 |
| odinsbane | hellyes_: you installed the beta, but you didn't use a .deb package? | 23:14 |
| chrisdone | I just spent hours reading the video4linux documentation | 23:15 |
| chrisdone | plug my webcam in. *test* "ERROR" oh great | 23:15 |
| bleepbloop | im in win7 | 23:15 |
| `mOOse` | you have to remove the flash and re-insert it too btw | 23:15 |
| spunk | any ninjas on ATI graphics drivers here? | 23:15 |
| hellyes_ | no. it was just a graphical install | 23:15 |
| bleepbloop | just like, take it out without hitting eject? | 23:15 |
| odinsbane | did you ahve the other open office istaled? | 23:16 |
| `mOOse` | yep | 23:16 |
| marcel__ | kinja-sheep: Thanks for the nice offer, but I need at least a 13" Display and I have a not so often used netbook runing karmic here as well. | 23:16 |
| chrisdone | well I suppose this is why I bought a mac | 23:16 |
| modumass | !nas | 23:16 |
| paragonc | so i made sure my user has access to the audo group | 23:16 |
| `mOOse` | eject is unnecessary in win7 | 23:16 |
| chrisdone | so the bloody devices work | 23:16 |
| paragonc | but i still get no sound | 23:16 |
| paragonc | where should i begin trouble shooting? | 23:16 |
| jiohdi | hellyes_: did you try going to a root term and typing apt-get -f install to see if there are unresolved dependancies that may be fixable | 23:16 |
| jlongs2 | hi, i've got a problem with my screen resolution in karmic -- at 1280x720@60Hz it's shirfted about 2 inches to the right, so I'm missing 10%ish of the screen | 23:16 |
| ZeiP | How can I modify the options that are used when mounting a certain external disk via Gnome? | 23:17 |
| `mOOse` | bleepbloop: so when you open windows explorer - it should look like a fixed drive, and not be in the removeable media area | 23:17 |
| jlongs2 | i have a tv that apparently doesn't send EDID or whatever, it's a westinghouse LTV-32w3 | 23:17 |
| ZeiP | I want to make it accessible to a few other users as well. | 23:17 |
| odinsbane | hellyes_: Since you didnt install it through the package manager you probably can run it from the terminal now. | 23:17 |
| talexb | I tried to install MySQL Server 5.0, but now Synaptic is hung, it looks like it's waiting for .. /bin/bash -e /tmp/mysql-server-5.0.config.172911 configure | 23:17 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: it's still in the removable storage area | 23:17 |
| talexb | That was spawned by /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt | 23:18 |
| odinsbane | talexb: is it asking you for something? Say an agreement or a passwd? | 23:18 |
| jlongs2 | this used to be working under Jaunty/intrepid fyi | 23:18 |
| talexb | odinsbane Nope -- focus is gone from the Synaptic window, but I'll double check. | 23:18 |
| spunk | what is the difference between xorg-xxx and xserver-xorg-xxx packages? | 23:18 |
| talexb | odinsbane Nope -- window has lost focus and the spinner is spinning. | 23:19 |
| talexb | There are no additional dialogs on that window. | 23:19 |
| `mOOse` | then the pgm didn't flip the bit bleepbloop | 23:19 |
| `mOOse` | it works on some, not all flashdrives | 23:19 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: okay, im gunna give this another go | 23:19 |
| `mOOse` | gl!! I gotta go eat - bbiab | 23:19 |
| talexb | Wait, there is a dialog on another page -- Installing Software -- my bad. | 23:20 |
| jlongs2 | it feels like the refresh rates or the sync clock is off or something | 23:20 |
| paragonc | how do i ensure i Use Karmic's kernel, not Jaunty's. | 23:20 |
| talexb | OK -- it's preconfiguring packages, but ps axf tells me that step is done .. | 23:20 |
| spunk | !ati | 23:20 |

| CrunchBangUser | hi alll | 23:22 |
| odinsbane | talexb: you could kill the defunct process, in which case synaptics will finish with an error, then you could try to fix it with apt. | 23:22 |
| talexb | odinsbane Hmm. OK. | 23:23 |
| odinsbane | talexb: but thats a pretty harsh way to role. Maybe synaptics has a way to cancel it. | 23:23 |
| talexb | I'm just a little worried because the last time I manually fiddled with packages I pooched my entire system. | 23:23 |
| talexb | odinsbane Thanks .. there's no obvious way to cancel the running process. Of course I can alwys do a kill .. | 23:24 |
| odinsbane | talexb: apt-get install -f does a good job of fixing things like this, so the key is to safely get out of synaptics. | 23:24 |
| jiohdi | apt-get -f install | 23:25 |

| jiohdi | bleepbloop, gparted | 23:25 |
| talexb | odinsbane OK, thanks for that. I'm carefully trying to kill that defunct process now. | 23:25 |
| zetheroo | hey guys I am trying to connect to the Internet using my Hauwei 3 USB stick in Karmic .... it connects but there is no Internet | 23:26 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: it has a manage flags | 23:26 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: is that for linux? | 23:26 |
| ssv1994 | guys, where to get a free computer? | 23:26 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: sure | 23:26 |
| dewman | ssv1994, craigslist? | 23:26 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: it may show up in your list as partician managers | 23:27 |
| jiohdi | under system | 23:27 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: I don't have a linux system yet :-P | 23:27 |
| bleepbloop | im working on putting UNR on my netbook | 23:27 |
| ardian | Guys how do i compile a source code to .exe ? im using ubuntu | 23:27 |
| zetheroo | anyone have any experience getting these 3 mobile broadband devices to work ? I have been trying to get it working for the past 6-7 hours ... | 23:27 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop, you can use WUBI.exe | 23:27 |
| odinsbane | ardian: you don't need an exe perse' | 23:28 |
| malev | hi! I hace a problem: the distribution of my keyboard change every time I restart the laptop. It change to EEUU and I have latinamerican, any idea what could happen? | 23:28 |
| talexb | :( kill -KILL $pid didn't erase the zombie process .. my bag of tricks is now empty .. | 23:28 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: but I would recommend doing an actual usb install.. because updates seem to break wubi installs | 23:28 |
| ardian | odinsbane, its a program for win | 23:28 |
| odinsbane | talexb: who started it. | 23:28 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: well yeah, I've been trying to do a USB install, but I seem to keep running into problems | 23:28 |
| odinsbane | ardian: I think gcc has a cross platform toolchain. | 23:29 |
| zetheroo | or does anyone know how to recover my Windows 7 boot? | 23:29 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: problems, i.e. created by my noobness | 23:29 |
| ardian | ok | 23:29 |
| talexb | odinsbane the Perl script, but I've managed to kill the other process .. | 23:29 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: I could not get my acer revo to do a usb install... I finally got a $99 usb cd/dvd drive | 23:29 |
| talexb | Now I'm going to go up the chain killing processes until Synaptic recovers. | 23:29 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: ouch | 23:29 |
| zetheroo | I have Windows 7 installed and Ubuntu hardy as well ... I have the Windows 7 entry in GRUB but Windows will not boot from it and I get an error | 23:30 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: I've read about people doing USB installs with the same netbook as I have though, so I don't see why I'm having such an issue | 23:30 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop, I wanted a cd/dvd drive anyways, good excuse... the revo is only $199 :) | 23:30 |
| odinsbane | zetheroo: whats the error? If its long you can paste it. | 23:30 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: I've heard of a bunch of cases of people doing USB installs on this netbook model | 23:30 |
| zetheroo | odinsbane: its a Windows error ... a bunch of numbers :( | 23:31 |
| odinsbane | talexb: you probably would be better off just closing synaptics | 23:31 |
| zetheroo | odinsbane: something about something missing ... but there is no file name mentioned | 23:31 |
| talexb | odinsbane Perhaps. | 23:31 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: it should work, it almost worked for me... but I find that the USB is a one trick pony and if you fail, for some reason it will not recognize the usb as a bootable any more | 23:31 |
| talexb | My KILLing seems to have moved on to the next step so I'll see if that works or not. | 23:31 |
| Lokintwo | vlt: Sorry about that. | 23:31 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: there is unetbootin for windows which will install the setup of any number of linux on a USB | 23:31 |
| Lokintwo | vlt: So should I log out of ttly and back into ttl7? | 23:32 |
| J0hnson | is there a way to check what your local is without changing it? | 23:32 |

| paragonc | im following the sound trouble shooting guide | 23:33 |
| paragonc | a | 23:33 |
| paragonc | nd it says to check if im in the sound group | 23:33 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: I used that, and it goes to the boot up screen, but when I tell it to boot into Ubuntu from the USB stick it always gets stuck on a spinning grey ball | 23:33 |
| paragonc | xcpt when i add myself i get the following message | 23:33 |
| paragonc | adduser: The group `sound' does not exist. | 23:34 |
| legend2440 | J0hnson: do you mean locale? type locale in terminal | 23:34 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: I have no luck with ubuntu, try xubuntu instead and when you get it up and running you can install gnome-core | 23:34 |
| talexb | odinsbane Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Looks like MySQL installed OK after all. | 23:35 |

| odinsbane | talexb: if you have any problems with it I would recommend using apt-get to reinstall it. | 23:37 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: hmm that sounds complicated | 23:37 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: and I'm an uber noob | 23:37 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: not really, once you get up and running, you just open a terminal sudo -s to get root and type apt-get install gnome-core | 23:37 |
| santiago | hello | 23:37 |
| santiago | can someone please explain to me if this hdd setup means that i have any raid on the box or not? http://pastebin.ca/1728930 | 23:38 |

| === Necrosan_smart is now known as Necrosan_is_cool | ||
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: once you have gnome, you just log out and then chance session to gnome and your in ubuntu proper | 23:38 |

| bleepbloop | jiohdi: does xubuntu have a netbook remix? | 23:38 |
| santiago | anyone? pretty please.. http://pastebin.ca/1728930 | 23:39 |

| jweinberg | I have a serial mouse that my 9.10 box thinks is sending clicks while moving it | 23:42 |
| santiago | sda1* | 23:42 |
| paragonc | Aleoss - it fires up and shows all the levels | 23:42 |
| paragonc | still no sond | 23:42 |
| cjae | where to ask for digikam help or even just photo editing help? | 23:42 |
| jweinberg | i tried with xev, and it is definitely sending the clicks | 23:42 |
| lokin | Anybody have any idea why none of the package installers would be working? | 23:42 |
| bleepbloop | jiohdi: sweet! I'll take a look at xubuntu, and eeebuntu maybe, thanks for the suggestion! | 23:43 |
| jweinberg | or its being interpreted as doing so | 23:43 |
| odinsbane | santiago, I don't have a clue, it seems like you would only have 1 device for a raid setup. | 23:43 |
| Aleoss | paragonc: Make sure they aren't muted, also check to make sure your global audio isn't muted. | 23:43 |
| jweinberg | the mouse works fine on my windows box, so I'm a bit at a loss now | 23:43 |
| Aleoss | paragonc: Are you sending sound through built-in speakers or external speakers? | 23:43 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: I have installed and reinstalled my 3 computers about a dozen times in the last 3 months of my learning curve and so I am nearly an expert on installs :) | 23:43 |

| zetheroo | how do I find out what is sda1 on my Hardy system? | 23:45 |
| Aleoss | paragonc: Are you sure you have the speakers setup correctly as well? In addition to that, is there a power switch for these speakers or is there an amplifier inbetween and is that setup correctly and turned on? | 23:45 |
| jiohdi | bleepbloop: they are suprizingly easy to find :) | 23:45 |
