| losha | al_: using checksums is very slow & expensive. Most people just use file size and modification date (which is the default). Check the man page for the gory details. Also, check out various schemes for backup... | 00:00 |

| mezimezim | hi! | 00:00 |
| henrique | Hello | 00:00 |
| mka | !happy | 00:00 |
| mka | hi henrique | 00:00 |
| mka | hi mezimezim | 00:00 |
| al_ | losha: right. The GUI of the NAS might be using checksums because its horribly slow. Thats why I want to cron my own rsync | 00:00 |
| henrique | Hi mka | 00:01 |
| Scunizi | wow.. bittorrent downloads of ubuntu iso's are *fast*! Looks like 7 minutes for an entire iso | 00:01 |
| mezimezim | someone knows about GPS (Garmin 60Cx) : can detect it with Viking ? | 00:01 |
| henrique | I'm using ubuntu netb ook remix and I took something off my menu bar. The shutdown button with my name and all and I cant get it back...Does anyoen know how to add that back | 00:01 |
| henrique | Add to pannel does not show the option | 00:02 |
| Scunizi | henrique: you're stuck.. you're going to have to leave it on forever! :) (April 1 is just around the corner) | 00:02 |
| wastrel | that's the user switcher applet iirc | 00:03 |
| wastrel | henrique: ^^^ | 00:03 |
| henrique | ;) I'm not such a new PC user but nice try | 00:03 |
| nycz | i have 4 gb ram and 1 gb vram, will the os use it all if i install a 32bit version? | 00:03 |
| Scunizi | henrique: can you right mouse click the area and "Add" ?? | 00:03 |
| henrique | thankyou wastrel let me try that | 00:03 |
| henrique | yes I can Scunizi | 00:03 |
| epinky | nycz: yep, just make sure you use kernel-pae | 00:04 |
| philabole | can any one help me figure out my ubuntu 9.04 install | 00:04 |
| nycz | epinky: kernel-pae? :s | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | philabole: you gotta be more specific.. | 00:04 |
| riverbird | Dr_Willis, still here? i seem to be stuck in a loop getting packages .. | 00:05 |
| philabole | can anyone help me with ubuntu 9.04, i got some probs | 00:05 |
| blackest_knight | hmm i just noticed happy new year | 00:05 |
| mister_roboto | al_: i'm actually curious to know if you can get that scheme to work using only the mod time / size checks. i expect copying the files over manually will mess up the mod time check | 00:05 |
| philabole | hello | 00:05 |
| Scunizi | philabole: can you be more specific? | 00:05 |
| blackest_knight | yes but it helps to know what the probs are | 00:06 |
| henrique | ok my name is back up there but not the little button with the different options for shutdown, restart, logout and hybernate, etc | 00:06 |
| philabole | sorry first i cn't connect to the net | 00:06 |
| Scunizi | henrique: click your name and see if there's a drop down menu | 00:06 |
| philabole | second i can't add new programs | 00:06 |
| al_ | mister_roboto: youd know better than me! I am no CLI expert. Not even a newbie!! | 00:06 |
| henrique | no Scunizi single user | 00:06 |
| epinky | nycz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension , it should be called 2.6.31-16-generic-pae or something like that | 00:07 |
| drunkncrew | philabole: are you connecting to the net via wifi or ethernet? | 00:07 |
| === fen[morgenrot] is now known as fen[mf] | ||
| Scunizi | henrique: then when you right mouse click and choose "add".. look for a different appelate .. maybe something called user switcher? | 00:07 |
| bazhang | nycz, just install linux-generic-pae ; the rest will be pulled in | 00:08 |
| philabole | drunkncrew: dsl | 00:08 |
| blackest_knight | phiabole 2nd is dependent on fist | 00:08 |
| nycz | epinky, bazhang: thanks, will do :) | 00:08 |
| henrique | Scunizi: thats the one I used to show my name but thats all it shows. not the different buttons. | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | pppoe? for dsl | 00:08 |
| blackest_knight | first even | 00:08 |
| Scunizi | henrique: keep looking a different one has to be there someplace | 00:09 |
| henrique | Scunizi: Must be something custom for netbook remix. | 00:09 |
| henrique | maybe a command line | 00:09 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: how are you connected to your dsl connection wired or wireless | 00:09 |
| Scunizi | henrique: maybe one called "shutdown"? | 00:09 |
| philabole | blackest_Knight: wired | 00:09 |
| henrique | that only puts the shutdown button. I guess it can work for now but I'll try to figure the other one later | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | henrique: I just reformatted my usb key that was setup to boot to unr otherwise I'd boot on my laptop and look as well. | 00:10 |
| micz | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 00:10 |
| henrique | Scunizi: thank you for your help I'll do some external search on google or ask in the forums | 00:10 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: do you know what chipset your ethernet card has | 00:10 |
| Pelo | anyone know how to "regenerate" the locate command, it still shows me entries from before I deleted them | 00:11 |
| Scunizi | henrique: good luck.. it's out there that's for sure. | 00:11 |
| * iolo bebendo Buxudinha . . . | 00:11 | |
| Scunizi | Pelo: sudo updatedb | 00:11 |
| iceroot | Pelo: sudo updatedb | 00:11 |
| Pelo | thank you | 00:11 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: not really i just built this thing and.... | 00:11 |
| Scunizi | Pelo: 'bout time I was able to help you out! usually it's the other way around | 00:11 |
| henrique | Scunizi: thats for sure. I can't be the first jack ass to remove that for no reason whatsoever | 00:11 |
| david_ | can i convert a .tar.bz2 into a .deb? | 00:11 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: argh..... | 00:12 |
| Scunizi | henrique: we learn better that way ;) | 00:12 |
| henrique | true | 00:12 |
| Pelo | Scunizi, I havenT' been around much in the past couple of years, nice to know I made an impression ;-) | 00:12 |
| henrique | good night all | 00:12 |
| henrique | happy new year | 00:12 |
| iceroot | david_: not that easy as you think but yes of course you can | 00:12 |
| david_ | ok, can you explain how ;) | 00:12 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: generally wired connections tend to just work | 00:12 |
| wastrel | pppoe | 00:13 |
| nycz | hm, i'm unsure about swap space... as i said earlier i've got 4gb ram and 1gb vram, should i have a swap partition and if so, how big? | 00:13 |
| mezimezim | I have installed gpsbabel & viking, but I am not able to get any info out/in of my GPS, any expertise in the area? | 00:13 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: yeah i've been using ubuntu for over a year and it always has just worked | 00:13 |
| Pelo | Scunizi, you'll probably be able to help me more in the near future, i'm dabbling in CLI , first time I 've done that much of it , installed a media center on an old comp, too old for a gui | 00:13 |
| iceroot | david_: just read something about what a deb is and how it works, then you have to manyally build the deb from the tar.bz2 | 00:13 |
| type_t | why do you need it as a .deb ?? | 00:13 |
| iceroot | david_: there is no converter | 00:13 |
| david_ | oh, ol | 00:14 |
| david_ | ok* | 00:14 |
| Scunizi | Pelo: I will when I can for sure | 00:14 |
| david_ | thanks! | 00:14 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: with a new motherboard, do i need some drivers or something | 00:14 |
| Pelo | Scunizi, iceroot thanks a lot that seems to have done it , now to see if the app works properly | 00:14 |
| type_t | the fact that is .deb means it is installed by dpkg and runns a installer made for that package. | 00:14 |
| iceroot | david_: read the manpage about dh_make | 00:14 |
| * Scunizi is making a live usb of kubuntu 9.10 | 00:15 | |
| blackest_knight | philabole: you need to find what chip it is and google it | 00:15 |
| david_ | ok | 00:15 |
| type_t | you can force install and as long as you dont runn into conflicts . its ok. | 00:15 |
| Scunizi | Pelo: crunchbang might have been perfect for that old machine | 00:15 |
| mezimezim | here is what I get when I do a dmesg right after plugging http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7e99838e | 00:15 |
| philabole | darkest_knight: ok | 00:15 |
| nycz | with 4gb of ram, should i have a swap partition? | 00:15 |
| bastid_raZor | nycz: if you plan on hibernating or suspending | 00:16 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: did it work on the live cd ? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nycz: I always do at least 512mb of swap partition. just in 'case' :) | 00:16 |
| nycz | bastid_raZor: not really, i have it on when i'm awake and off when i'm sleeping or away | 00:16 |
| Scunizi | mezimezim: it's mounted at uhci_hcd | 00:17 |
| david_ | iceroot: I don't seem to have "dh_make" when I try to read the manual it tells me to install it w/ apt-get but then it tells me that the package doesn't exist | 00:17 |
| philabole | darkest_knight: you know i didn't check, i just installed it | 00:17 |
| nycz | Dr_Willis: okay | 00:17 |
| bastid_raZor | nycz: swap is not required but highly recommended.. i agree with Dr_Willis .. just in case | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | nycz: if nothing else.. ive seen live cd's use swap :) which can come in handy | 00:17 |
| micz | later all happy new year | 00:17 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: sorry bout the name thing | 00:17 |
| mezimezim | Scunizi: ok, where do I find the data? | 00:17 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: it might be worth googling the motherboard and linux and see what comes up, pain but sometimes you get issues | 00:18 |
| micz | bbl | 00:18 |
| nycz | bastid_raZor, Dr_Willis: ah, atm i have 4gb... maybe a bit too much then | 00:18 |
| philabole | blackest_knight: thanks i'll do that | 00:18 |
| ams | #list | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | nycz: if you want to use hibernate/suspend - you want 4gb of swap then I think | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | nycz: i never use Hibernate/suspend :) | 00:18 |
| bastid_raZor | nycz: if you have it already made then leave it be.. | 00:18 |
| nycz | Dr_Willis: me neither | 00:19 |
| nycz | bastid_raZor: i'm just about to reinstall :) | 00:19 |
| bastid_raZor | !hardware | philabole you can look here for your hardware compatibility | 00:19 |
| ubottu | philabole you can look here for your hardware compatibility: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:19 |
| type_t | dh_make is debian utils | 00:19 |
| blackest_knight | philabole: if you get really stuck you can pick up network cards very cheaply or even go for wifi but its unusual to have one that doesnt work at all | 00:19 |
| blackest_knight | what does ifconfig say ? | 00:19 |
| bastid_raZor | nycz: your choice then.j good luck | 00:19 |
| Scunizi | mezimezim: I'm not sure what the usb device is.. is it a gps device? and if so is there an app that is suppose to marry to it? | 00:19 |
| nycz | thanks :) | 00:20 |
| * Pelo mutters about doing nasty things to python programmers who can't follow standards | 00:20 | |
| philabole | blackest_knight: thank you sir | 00:20 |
| blackest_knight | sorry iwconfig | 00:20 |
| * Dr_Willis thought python was written so you had to follow standards... | 00:20 | |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 00:20 |
| mezimezim | yes, it's a Garmin GPS, I have installed GPSBABEL and Viking, 2 programs supposed to communicate with Garmin GPS, but I can't get the data out of it... | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | or was it just you had to follow formating standards | 00:21 |
| blackest_knight | no worries its a good year nearly died twice in 2009 :) | 00:21 |
| Pelo | Dr_Willis, maybe the guy followed python standards but when you write a freaking weather applet it would be nice to follow the naming conventions that everyone else is following for naming your icons | 00:21 |
| Scunizi | mezimezim: ok.. in gpsbabel or viking if there is a setup or properties you have to tell it the mount point of the gps device so the program(s) will know where to look for the data. | 00:21 |
| mezimezim | scunizi: so, it the device is mounted, does it mean I should be able to see the data in it from nautilus and/or the terminal? | 00:22 |
| giuseppe_ | hallo wie gehe in ubuntu.de | 00:22 |
| iceroot | david_: debhelper is the package | 00:23 |
| iceroot | david_: dh stands for debhelper | 00:23 |
| Scunizi | mezimezim: if the usb device *is* the gps then probably not unless the gps will also act as a mass storage device which is doutfull..but if you're looking for the device to send data to the programs it's typically in a stream of some sort.. the program will have to know where to look and then interpret the stream.. you might also look at the openstreet(s) app.... if there is one. | 00:24 |
| iceroot | david_: and for building the package its ok to use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot instead of pbuilder with chroot | 00:25 |
| Scunizi | guiscard: type /j #ubuntu-de | 00:25 |
| Scunizi | giuseppe_: type /j #ubuntu-de | 00:26 |
| Scunizi | sorry guiscard .. wrong nick | 00:26 |
| tmcc | happy new year ladies | 00:27 |
| gl1tch3r | hi there | 00:27 |
| baz | whats the best way to amass power using ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| mezimezim | scunizi: the viking program asks me whether the GPS is /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 or /dev/USB0 or /devUSB1 | 00:27 |
| david_ | iceroot: ty :) | 00:27 |
| iceroot | david_: np | 00:27 |
| gl1tch3r | hey ppl anyone has used mondo rescue or something similar? | 00:27 |
| mezimezim | there, I don't know what to put in, I've tried them all without success | 00:27 |
| mister_roboto | mezimezim: i use garmintools to read my gps watch (forerunner 305) | 00:28 |
| mister_roboto | mezimezim: it works very well on this watch | 00:28 |
| mezimezim | mister_roboto: it seems to be made especially for your device : http://code.google.com/p/garmintools/ | 00:29 |
| tmcc | did somone know a handy texteditor like app that outputs my changes in a file as a comm)?and to use it in a scrip ( like sed awk with gui | 00:29 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Hey, I have a quick question for a noob | 00:30 |
| mister_roboto | mezimezim: he says he tried to implement all garmin's protocols though so it might work :) | 00:30 |
| gl1tch3r | im wondering if I could backup my wubi install with mondo and then restoring it as a full install? | 00:30 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Buddy of mine is running Ubuntu and he got a new monitor. It's not set up for the correct resolution | 00:30 |
| Sylvester_Ink | What's the best way to set the resolution for a higher setting | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: dvi or vga connection? and what video card? | 00:32 |
| jtaji | Sylvester_Ink: did you try System > Prefs > Display ? | 00:32 |
| riverbird | i seem to be stuck in a package dependency loop .. installing tomboy1.0.1 into hardy .. any help or info?? | 00:32 |
| Ricoshady | so whats the best way to mange packages? | 00:33 |
| Sylvester_Ink | oh wait. Sorry Dr_Willis and jtaji, he didn't tell me he had 2 monitors plugged in . . . | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ricoshady: with a packge manager tool. :) | 00:33 |
| Ricoshady | Dr_Willis, which one I mean | 00:33 |
| Ricoshady | apt? | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: with nvidia cards - i just run the nvidia-settings tool and set them up | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ricoshady: dosent really matter. They all do the same stuff in the background | 00:34 |
| Ricoshady | ive heard some do a better job with dependencies | 00:34 |
| type_t | #- thereis #nvidia | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Ricoshady: in theory they all shoukld install whatever dependencuies are needed.. or else the packges wouldent work. | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Ricoshady: some may be a little smarter at REMOVEING packages/deps/unneeded deps.. | 00:35 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Dr_Willis: the new monitor uses DVI connection. It has the same resolution issue with just one monitor plugged in | 00:35 |
| Sylvester_Ink | (I believe he's using an ATI videocard) | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: no idea on ati. Other then to be sure the proper restricted drivers are installed and try the system > prefs > display item. | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: and of course use DVI conector if at all possible. :) | 00:36 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Yeah, I figured as much :D | 00:36 |
| mezimezim | scunizi & mr_roboto : I seem to be having some success with gpsbabel | 00:39 |
| mezimezim | thanks | 00:39 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Hey Dr_Willis, is it a good idea to mess around with xorg.conf | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: when in doubt - make backups. | 00:41 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Since it's been removed from the latest version of Ubuntu | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: ive some machines that dont even have xorg.conf some of my systems I do have a xorg.conf | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Sylvester_Ink: nvidia settingsz keep the muilti monitor and other info in there | 00:42 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Dr_Willis: Yeah, I use it on my laptop since that's the only way to get the correct screen rez | 00:42 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I'll probably have him write one up for now | 00:42 |
| ai9371 | is ther any programs for linux that are similar to Dreamweaver? | 00:42 |
| ai9371 | that are free | 00:42 |
| ai9371 | something a little better than bluefish | 00:43 |
| type_t | wait there is .at boot menu log into single session .. what is that called .. it gives you a reconfiguration option.. | 00:43 |
| riverbird | anyway to change sources in synaptic to pull a specific package from a newer distro? | 00:43 |
| === {|} is now known as UIS | ||
| === UIS is now known as The_Thing | ||
| type_t | not normal boot what is that called ? there is a Xserver reconfiguration option. | 00:44 |
| Zlobi | Hello and Happy New Year | 00:44 |
| qt-x | happy new year Zlobi | 00:45 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Anyway, thanks for the help Dr_Willis. I'll just go to his place one of these days and set it up myself. | 00:45 |
| lelius | ciao | 00:45 |
| riverbird | howto upgrade mono1.2.6 to mono1.9.1 or better? | 00:46 |
| Zlobi | I am having problem with sound configuration, need to put my sound card OUTPUT in ices2 config file. Problem is that both input and output are listed as hw:0,0, so it captures very low level (mixed?). Please advise, nothing on forums | 00:46 |
| type_t | <Sylvester> boot into repair mode at startup .. there is reconfigure there. | 00:47 |
| mister_roboto | ai9371: what about http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/ ? | 00:47 |
| Sylvester_Ink | type_t: what's the command? | 00:47 |
| Zlobi | Sylvester_Ink: Just select it in GRUB menu | 00:48 |
| Zlobi | second one probably | 00:48 |
| type_t | reboot and select at bootsplash second option right above memtest | 00:48 |
| Sylvester_Ink | sorry, I meant, what's the reconfigure command | 00:48 |
| Sylvester_Ink | just reconfigure? | 00:48 |
| riverbird | y'all must be running windows .. | 00:48 |
| Zlobi | Yes, or at least there was some --help or a blue screen with menus | 00:49 |
| type_t | its only three options there. continue normal; drop int shell; configure Xserver.. | 00:49 |
| Sylvester_Ink | ah, okay | 00:49 |
| Sylvester_Ink | thanks | 00:49 |
| Zlobi | I am having problem with sound configuration, need to put my sound card OUTPUT in ices2 config file. Problem is that both input and output are listed as hw:0,0, so it captures very low level (mixed?). Please advise, nothing on forums. Addition: Running Ubuntu 9.10 | 00:50 |
| mister_roboto | type_t: can you just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 00:50 |
| mister_roboto | type_t: and restart x? | 00:50 |
| Zlobi | with sudo probably... | 00:50 |
| Zlobi | mister_roboto: In 9.x ubuntu I am afraid Xserver is different | 00:51 |
| type_t | <mister_roboto> duno. lets try both and see. | 00:51 |
| mister_roboto | type_t: Zlobi i just used that technique and manually set up the xorg.conf with ubuntu 9.10 on a machine at work | 00:52 |
| Zlobi | mister_roboto: Fine then. So it is just different grub | 00:52 |
| mister_roboto | Zlobi: actually i never read up on it in detail about where the config goes now for X. i found it confusing the first time there was no xorg.conf :) | 00:54 |
| mister_roboto | Zlobi: but it worked | 00:54 |
| Zlobi | mister_roboto: Yes, commands are the same, which is god, but the guts are different | 00:55 |
| Zlobi | Well, what about my annoying sound problem? :P | 00:56 |
| Zlobi | Can I add somehow somewhere smth like hw:0,0,0 and hw:0,0,1 to differ my in and out? | 00:57 |
| mister_roboto | Zlobi: lol good luck! | 00:57 |

| Zlobi | Izinucs: afaicr, it is the privilege level | 01:03 |
| Zlobi | like sudo is not root | 01:03 |
| Izinucs | Zlobi: which one? TTY? | 01:03 |
| Zlobi | Izinucs: Yep, There is a main tty @ Atl+F1 | 01:04 |
| mister_roboto | the diff ttys are nothing more than separate ttys. they are exactly the same priv level | 01:04 |
| iceroot | mister_roboto: correct | 01:04 |
| mister_roboto | has nothing to do with runlevels | 01:04 |
| iceroot | mister_roboto: also correct | 01:04 |
| nomnex | Izinucs, how do I launch an app from a TTY#n? It fails when I pass sudo gksu gedit (I can only run nano) and if I want to open e.g. Deluge, it fails too. I can do that from the Bash window in Gnome | 01:04 |
| iceroot | nomnex: sudo gksu is wrong | 01:04 |
| iceroot | nomnex: gksudo gedit | 01:05 |

| Izinucs | nomnex: you might not be able to run a gui app from TTY.. never tried.. if it works then it will automatically switch you to TTY7 | 01:05 |
| trism | goose: screen -d -m | 01:06 |
| Ricoshady | can I get the version number from apt-cache search ? | 01:06 |
| Ricoshady | of a particular package? | 01:06 |
| iceroot | Ricoshady: apt-cache show or apt-cache policy | 01:06 |
| Izinucs | Zlobi: kinda interesting doing this in a live usb of kubuntu 64 bit | 01:06 |
| micz | ah well anyhows happy new year n goodnite | 01:06 |
| goose | trism: doesn't seem to work :/ | 01:06 |
| goose | oh nevermind | 01:07 |
| goose | irssi wasn't installed | 01:07 |
| xtjacob | does anyone know the difference between AMD-V, and AMD-V/RVI? | 01:08 |
| Izinucs | Zlobi: thanks for the link.. My ideas were along those lines. | 01:08 |
| blackest_knight | Sylvester_Ink: you might find with two monitors you have to put them vertical ( default workspace is 2048 x 2048) | 01:09 |
| digitalaxis | xtjacob, RVI stands for "Rapid Virtualization Indexing" | 01:09 |
| nomnex | Izinucs, Gtk-WARNING ** cannot display when I try to open an application from TTY. How can I manage the system and run the applications using only the command? | 01:09 |
| * Pelo mutters grumbles and curses | 01:10 | |
| bastid_raZor | nomnex: TTY is not intended to run GUI apps. only command line applications | 01:10 |
| Izinucs | nomnex: I did that for a while.. you have to learn a totally different set of programs that will run in the TTy | 01:10 |
| Sylvester_Ink | blackest_knight: so you can't do them side by side? | 01:10 |
| Izinucs | nomnex: twinkle for IM, mutt for email, eliinks for internet browsing etc. | 01:10 |
| Pelo | nommthat's because you are trying to open a gui app using a console mode you need a consol app to do that same job , what are you trying to do ? | 01:10 |
| nomnex | Izinucs, like wim? | 01:10 |
| Pelo | nomnex, try nano, easier | 01:11 |
| Izinucs | nomnex: it would also be a good idea to learn the basics of "screen" | 01:11 |
| blackest_knight | Sylvester_Ink: i think its a current bug in 9.10 at least | 01:11 |
| nomnex | Izinucs, sceen is a software? link? | 01:11 |
| iceroot | nomnex: have a look at man screen | 01:12 |
| Izinucs | !screen | nomnex It's in the repos | 01:12 |
| ubottu | nomnex It's in the repos: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 01:12 |
| iceroot | nomnex: its a must have for using cli | 01:12 |
| Pelo | nomnex, screen is a session manager for command line applications , | 01:12 |
| ftw | screen is amazing, and byobu is a good front-end for it | 01:12 |
| nomnex | iceroot, all, thanks I take a look | 01:12 |
| ftw | Don't ssh without it! | 01:12 |
| blackest_knight | Sylvester_Ink: with my netbook and 19 inch i cant go aboove 800 x 600 on the 19inch side by side | 01:12 |
| Pelo | nomnex, hold on a minute I 've got a nice link to get you started with the command line | 01:13 |
| jasonmchristos | where can i get an easily installable matrix theme for ubuntu karmic? | 01:13 |
| nomnex | Pelo, I stay | 01:13 |
| Sylvester_Ink | thanks blackest_knight, for now I think I'll just have him use one monitor | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | jasonmchristos: check out the gnome-art and gnome-artng tools they let you easially install different theme parts. | 01:13 |
| Pelo | nomnex, this will get you started with the very basics http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | jasonmchristos: they get the stuff from the gnome-look and a few other web sites I recall | 01:14 |
| jasonmchristos | ok i will install it and let you know how it works thanks Dr_Willis | 01:14 |
| Izinucs | Is CPU scaling automatic? | 01:14 |
| blackest_knight | Sylvester should work vertical rouble is the xorg.conf getting junked out is creating problems | 01:14 |
| Tiders | cp -r to copy a whole directory? | 01:15 |
| iceroot | Izinucs: if the cpu supports it (and the cpu is supported by the kernel) yes | 01:15 |
| Pelo | Tiders, I like cp dirname/* less confusing | 01:15 |
| Tiders | Pelo, thats true thanks | 01:15 |
| Tiders | Pelo both would work though correct? | 01:15 |
| Sylvester_Ink | blackest_knight: yeah, but remember that I'm having to fix this problem remotely | 01:15 |
| Izinucs | iceroot: just noticed it for the first time.. live usb 64 bit kubuntu | 01:15 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I'm not actually at his computer, I'm telling him via gchat | 01:16 |
| nomnex | Pelo, I've got the link, but thanks (as the excellent Linux phrasebook-Scott Granneman-2006) if someone wants it, I'll share | 01:16 |
| Sylvester_Ink | and that's not fun | 01:16 |
| Pelo | Tiders, not sure if it would be -r or -R but it should ,man cp to check | 01:16 |
| killingon1516 | hi all. ubuntu novice here... im in the market to buy a LARGE mp3 player..and im wondering what works best with ubuntu..my sister told me to avoid ipods but other then that i have no guidelines..anyone help me? | 01:16 |
| Sylvester_Ink | killingon1516: I recommend looking into the iAudio line | 01:16 |
| trism | Pelo: both are correct | 01:16 |
| Sylvester_Ink | it's by Cowon | 01:16 |
| digitalaxis | killingon1516, Ipods work perfectly with ubuntu, i have used my ipod with ubuntu since ipods first came out | 01:16 |
| Pelo | nomnex, best suggestion I can make start bookmarking the links ppl give you ,even if you don'T use them now , eventualy you probably will need tem | 01:16 |
| Izinucs | Tiders: cp -r /path/of/directory /path/to/new/location | 01:17 |
| blackest_knight | Sylvester_Ink: well the display tool in gnome is fairly straigh forward mess up reboot... | 01:17 |
| khelvan | Ok, the system just "froze" for a bit, meaning I couldn't move my mouse, then it started "stuttering," meaning I could move my mouse in spurts but not do anything, and alt-tab brought up only bits and pieces of a window, then the screen went black, then I was sent to the login screen in Karmic. I had two terminal windows open, Xchat, and Firefox...any idea what could cause this? | 01:17 |
| digitalaxis | killingon1516, In all honesty, ipods ARE the best MP3 player for Ubuntu. | 01:17 |
| Izinucs | Tiders: unless it's outside of /home | 01:17 |
| Hilikus | killingon1516: i second COWON, great products | 01:17 |
| Pelo | khelvan, what were you doing ? somethjing very cpu intensive ? that can happen | 01:18 |
| Hilikus | killingon1516: and stay away from ipods. they do work, but they are all hacks | 01:18 |
| killingon1516 | well whats the biggest size for that one Hilkus? | 01:18 |
| Izinucs | khelvan: video driver maybe | 01:18 |
| blackest_knight | khelvan: lack of ram or something doing too much try typing top in a terminal | 01:18 |
| digitalaxis | killingon1516, Check your private chat | 01:18 |
| klown | I agree, ipods work great with ubuntu, im using a 120g gen 5 classic right now | 01:18 |
| nomnex | Pelo, I don't understand "I can make start bookmarking the links ppl give you". but I have the link you gave me already in my bookmarks collection if it make sens? | 01:18 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Eh, iPods are good, but overrated | 01:19 |
| Sylvester_Ink | there are plenty of excellent mp3 players that aren't ipods, but few get looked at | 01:19 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I dont like mp3 players that require special software/drivers to put music on them | 01:19 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ipod, zune, eyc | 01:19 |
| Cyber_Akuma | etc* | 01:19 |
| Pelo | nomnex, sorry, bad wording, bookmark every link ppl give you , you will probably need them eventualy | 01:19 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Cyber_Akuma: exactly, the cowon players work as thumb drives | 01:19 |
| khelvan | Pelo - Nothing, I had Firefox open to a few sites, htop running in one terminal, another wasn't doing anything. I was typing in XChat when it crashed. I have 12 GB of RAM. I have an Nvidia GTX 295, and am using the proprietary driver found in Karmic. | 01:19 |
| ga_sk8er | is there a good photo editing program where i can change only the background? | 01:19 |
| digitalaxis | Sylvester_Ink, i work at a radio station part time, and we use ipods for most field data storage simply because they are the most stable for large amounts of data | 01:19 |
| khelvan | The above was for Izinucs and blackest_knight, thanks. | 01:19 |
| Izinucs | Pelo: I use a mindmapper to track stuff in categories.. vym or other | 01:20 |
| Cyber_Akuma | What about laptop drive enclosures? | 01:20 |
| Cyber_Akuma | And flash memory "should" be more stable... | 01:20 |
| ga_sk8er | NEED A GOOD PHOTO EDITING PROGRAM | 01:20 |
| Hilikus | happy new year guys. im off | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: check out my ubuntu/linux tagged links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis also. :) and other peoples ubuntu tagged urls as well | 01:20 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ga_sk8er: The Gimp? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ga_sk8er: thats doable with the gimp and some skill. | 01:20 |
| Cyber_Akuma | You also need to lay off the caps lock | 01:21 |
| Pelo | khelvan, it was just one possibility, and wow, I didn'T know they made comps with 12 gigs of ram , I'm impressed with your disposable income | 01:21 |
| Sylvester_Ink | digitalaxis: I'm not saying ipods are bad. I'm just not crazy about many of their limitations | 01:21 |
| ga_sk8er | cyber_akuma gimp wouldnt do what i wanted. i want to keep the ppl in the front & change the background | 01:21 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ditto Sylvester_Ink | 01:21 |
| klown | isnt the max on ram 32g now? | 01:21 |
| digitalaxis | Sylvester_Ink, lol like what? | 01:21 |
| Izinucs | Pelo: ram is cheap.. but you have to have the slots for that much | 01:21 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Like the need to use itunes to transfer audio | 01:21 |
| Cyber_Akuma | no, its far higher than 32gigs | 01:21 |
| khelvan | Pelo - I bought the RAM for less than $300 US. RAM is cheap these days. | 01:21 |
| digitalaxis | Sylvester_Ink, you dont need itunes to transfer audio | 01:21 |
| Cyber_Akuma | But if you are using 32 gigs of ram for a desktop, you are doing it wrong :P | 01:21 |
| blackest_knight | khelvan: still worth running top see whats going on | 01:22 |
| klown | lol, my board supports 16gigs of ddr3, if i need 16gigs, i got problems. | 01:22 |
| Cyber_Akuma | heh | 01:22 |
| Sylvester_Ink | digitalaxis: last I checked, unless you jailbreak the ipod you require itunes (or some software that supports the interface) | 01:22 |
| ga_sk8er | Cyber_Akuma gimp wouldnt do what i wanted. i want to keep the ppl in the front & change the background | 01:22 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I was planning to go 12.... | 01:22 |
| * Pelo is playing around with an 8 yearold celeron D 1.7 mhz with 512 megs of ram and a nvidia g5200 (128mg), Izinucs khelvan | 01:22 | |
| Izinucs | khelvan: check dmesg too.. maybe there's a reference there .. also /var/log | 01:22 |
| Cyber_Akuma | my choices are 3, 6, or 12.... | 01:22 |
| wolfsong_ | why does a drive i show mounted in Nautilus not appear in Firefox? | 01:22 |
| Izinucs | Pelo: you're almost modern with that equipment.. I have a couple around like that I use for servers and testing | 01:23 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Course, I dont have the MONEY to build it :( | 01:23 |
| digitalaxis | Sylvester_Ink, ipods are the easiest mp3 player to hack bud. No need to follow what they initially require:) | 01:23 |
| klown | Pelo, time for an upgrade :P | 01:23 |
| Pelo | khelvan, Izinucs on the other hand I just bought a 32inch lcd for that computer, it's a media center now | 01:23 |
| nomnex | Peolo, I do that when I don't have the links already ;-) Dr_Willis, looking now | 01:23 |
| Cyber_Akuma | My old mp3 player messed up :( | 01:23 |
| Sylvester_Ink | digitalaxis: but you shouldn't need to hack them | 01:23 |
| Cyber_Akuma | The flash seems to be stuck in read-only mode | 01:23 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I'd rather use my money to support a manufacturer that gives me what I want by default | 01:23 |
| Pelo | klown, it was a gift from my neibourg ,when she bought her new one, it's my favorite toy right now | 01:23 |
| Izinucs | Pelo: I just bought a 22" monitor 'cause I wanted the realestate and can't convince my wife I need two monitors :) .. $179 at tigerdirect | 01:24 |
| Cyber_Akuma | So not only can I not delete/ad dmusic... but it can't PLAY music either because it needs scratch space | 01:24 |
| digitalaxis | Sylvester_Ink, well i still prefer ipods, lol | 01:24 |
| klown | Izinucs, im trying to convince my wife of the same | 01:24 |
| Cyber_Akuma | at least I was able to get the music OFF of it though | 01:24 |
| Sylvester_Ink | digitalaxis: Good, good. They're a good mp3 player. :D | 01:24 |
| Pelo | Izinucs, I want one of those, but for now ,all the money went to the tv and the "office comp" is setup with an second hand 17" crt | 01:24 |
| Izinucs | klown: I hate the questions.. "what do you do on that all day"? | 01:24 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I never understood the point of two moniters | 01:24 |
| Izinucs | Pelo: one thing at a time :) | 01:25 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Cyber_Akuma: more work space | 01:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Well, its true :P | 01:25 |
| Pelo | Izinucs, pretty much | 01:25 |
| klown | Izinucs, i get that all the time, even though she spends 12 hrs + playing a game on her pc. | 01:25 |
| digitalaxis | Cyber_Akuma, lol if you are a c++ programmer like me, you can find use for many many monitors lol | 01:25 |
| Pelo | hold on brb | 01:25 |
| Sylvester_Ink | hey, I have a quick question in general | 01:25 |
| JMONEY | Whats up guys | 01:25 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: it's great for developers who are running various servers, ides and monitors all up at once | 01:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Only reason I upgraded my monitor was becaue the old one got so bad I couldent tell the difference between n and m anymore | 01:25 |
| digitalaxis | Cyber_Akuma, run my SLN's on 1 monitor, write my cpp scripts on the other and use chat and such on my third | 01:25 |
| Izinucs | klown: yea.. mine plays a handheld freecell game.. | 01:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I meant for a desktop :P | 01:25 |
| Sylvester_Ink | recently on slashdot there was an article about using Vim as an IDE | 01:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Even then, this new monitor's size is kinda overwhelming | 01:26 |
| klown | Izinucs, freecell, time for her to upgrade..that game is old as hell. | 01:26 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I can't imagine having two | 01:26 |
| digitalaxis | I have 3 24" monitors | 01:26 |
| JMONEY | Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) | 01:26 |
| Cyber_Akuma | since its 16:9, my old one was 4:3 | 01:26 |
| Pelo | back | 01:26 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I'm currently moving to vim as an IDE, and I was wondering whether it would be better to stick to something like Codeblocks | 01:26 |
| ftw | right now I have 2 x 22" monitors, can't imagine anything less | 01:26 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, i would enjoy having two 22" monitors, anything bigger, would be overkill | 01:26 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: it's just an editor. hard to call vim an ide :) | 01:26 |
| Drakeson | could you please test your gnome-terminal? mine is very slow. you can test it by doing: "time gnome-terminal -x true" | 01:27 |
| Drakeson | it takes 3 seconds here | 01:27 |
| drx2 | can you copy NTFS partitions from one drive to another with GPARTED on an Ubuntu 6.10 Live CD? | 01:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I just have a single 21.5 inch 16:9 monitor, running at 1920x1080 | 01:27 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: but it can be extended to provide all the ide abilities | 01:27 |
| klown | i just bought a samsung 22" monitor a month ago, i want another just like it, expensive though. | 01:27 |
| Pelo | drx2, not sure gparted does copy | 01:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma | This thing was I think $120 | 01:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma | pretty cheap | 01:27 |
| Izinucs | klown: she likes it .. I won't argue with her. | 01:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma | For what it does at least | 01:27 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: like what? syntax highlighting? lol | 01:27 |
| JMONEY | Any ideas ? | 01:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma | 2ms response, hdcp and hdmi, audio in and out... | 01:28 |
| Cyber_Akuma | surprised it was only $120 | 01:28 |
| mister_roboto | i use vi all the time and like it but it's not close to a real ide | 01:28 |
| Pelo | drx2, you can make a new partion an copy using a live ce but gparted has nothign to do with the copy | 01:28 |
| ribot | hi | 01:28 |
| JMONEY | Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) | 01:28 |
| osmosis | uhh virt-install or vmbuilder? The docs reference them both. | 01:28 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: projects, debugging, function and variable lists, etc | 01:28 |
| kmyst | anybody know why on a fresh intrepid install with luks encryption that it refuses to work with a keyfile larger than 640 bytes? | 01:28 |
| klown | my samsung has 2hdmi connections, and a component connection, i can hook everything to it. | 01:28 |
| tomvolek_ | hi , happy new year. I am installing oracle db as user oracle , how can i add oracle user to the sudoers list ? | 01:28 |
| Cyber_Akuma | nice :) | 01:28 |
| drx2 | Pelo: so how do you copy the NTFS partition and boot sector information from one drive to the other? | 01:28 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Yeah, I connected my 360 and ps3 to this thing as well as my pc | 01:28 |
| Cyber_Akuma | since I dont have a hdtv | 01:29 |
| ribot | question: when i select my fat32 drive from the menu it is automatically mounted and i have permission, but when i added it in fstab i dont have any permissions as a user..how to fix this? | 01:29 |
| Cyber_Akuma | pc by dvi 360 by vga, ps3 by hdmi | 01:29 |
| klown | its your choice of course, but i dont see the point in owning a ps3 and a 360 | 01:29 |
| Cyber_Akuma | 1. My PC sucks, 2. Most genras I like are not on pcs | 01:30 |
| Izinucs | older ps3 you can install ubuntu on | 01:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I have a wii too, Im a pretty big console gamer | 01:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma | tried that | 01:30 |
| Izinucs | slim doesn't work for that | 01:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ran like crap, do I put YDL instead, it was more optimized for the ps3 | 01:30 |
| klown | subcolum 1) you own a 360 subcolum 2) you still own a 360 | 01:30 |
| klown | :P | 01:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma | so* | 01:30 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Ah well, I'm out for now. Thanks all of you who helped me out! I'll try and contribute more on the IRC myself! | 01:30 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: can you point me to some of these extensions? i don't even know what that means... you have only one screen and commmand / input mode. it's not like you can step through your code watching the registers and memory locations, getting popup keyword completion, etc | 01:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | so what? I like my 360 :P | 01:31 |
| drx2 | how do you copy hard drives with Ubuntu Live CD? | 01:31 |
| klown | i just dont understand owning both, i own a 360 and love it, only reason id consider a ps3 is for the blueray drive, and i can buy one for 50$ :/ | 01:31 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: there are so many ides out there now i can't fathom why you'd want to even try transforming vi into one. that's not the right use case for it | 01:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | exclusives and friends | 01:31 |
| mezquitale | !ot| klown | 01:31 |
| ubottu | klown: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:31 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: the ones I've installed so far are taglist, Nerdtree, Omnicppcomplete | 01:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | half my friends have a 360, the other a ps3 | 01:31 |
| mezquitale | !ot> Cyber_Akuma | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Cyber_Akuma, please see my private message | 01:32 |
| Cyber_Akuma | you can't get uncharted or motorstorm on a 360, or halo and mass effect on a ps3 XD | 01:32 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ok ok | 01:32 |
| klown | mezquitale, your off topic notes are causing more issues than our conversation. | 01:32 |
| klown | just an fyi. | 01:32 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: I've really taken a liking to how efficient Vim is. I'm giving it a try to see if it can compete with Codeblocks and Kdevelop | 01:33 |
| klown | and due to someone mentioning that you can run ubuntu on a ps3, it is on topic :P | 01:33 |
| Cyber_Akuma | those things always seem to crop up right when you are in the middle of talking about something, its like having a brick wall dropped in front of you when your car just hit max acceleration... | 01:33 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Too bad the RSX is locked out in OtherOS mode, no video acceleration on ps3 linux :( | 01:34 |
| JMONEY | Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) | 01:34 |
| mezquitale | drx2, you have to use a utility that will allow you to copy partitions, partimage will do the trick | 01:34 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: well, good luck :) i like the fact that it's everywhere and comes up instantly when i need to edit files. and i have it burned into my fingers. but once you start plugging in tons of extensions to make it into an ide, you have to wonder if you're wasting time | 01:34 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Ill reinstall ubuntu and opensuse on my laptop someday...... and hopefully itll actually WORK that time | 01:35 |
| drx2 | mezquitale: is that on the LiveCD? | 01:35 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Linux hates my laptop's hardware :( | 01:35 |

| Cyber_Akuma | 9.04 my wifi and gpu worked | 01:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ... no sorry | 01:36 |
| mezquitale | drx2, I dont know, boot up the the live CD and find out | 01:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | 8.10 my wifi and gpu worked | 01:36 |
| yoasif | can i "switch users" if i am using a desktop environment other than gnome/kde? (like say, windowmaker) | 01:36 |
| klown | ratonplayer, !ot | ratonplayer | 01:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | 9.04 gpu broke again >.< | 01:36 |
| klown | dont forget the | :P | 01:36 |
| drx2 | ratonplayer: how is that off topic? I have an ubuntu LiveCD? | 01:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | haven't tried 9.10 on it yet | 01:36 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: i'm not actually giving you any advice. i'm just expressing my amusement that people are trying to turn vi into something like an ide. why not just go to emacs or stay with codeblocks? (i don't know codeblocks) | 01:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Stupid Radon x1200 | 01:36 |
| fallore | i'm trying to use the terminal to install samba ("sudo apt-get install samba") but i get the message "E: Coudln't find package samba" | 01:37 |
| mezquitale | drx2, youre not off topic, he's talking about a troll that insists on trolling around | 01:37 |
| Dmole | hi, how can I test the www speed of a server, i was thinking public FTP, anyone know of any or other options? | 01:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | vi...... can't STAND that thing... i've tried it | 01:37 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, last i tried on my vaio was 9.04 also, and i had gfx acceleration issues. | 01:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | klown: was it also an ati card? | 01:37 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: if you're a touch typist, and can get past the learning part, it's very fast to use for simple editing | 01:37 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: I'm not too crazy about emacs myself. It's a good editor, but i'm acustomed to Vim | 01:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I heard that ati sorta discotninued support of some older cards in linux, and the xorg that 9.04 uses needed the newer drivers... or something like that | 01:38 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, no, an intel card.::disgust:: | 01:38 |
| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto: besides, Vim has a lot of built in IDE features, so why not use them? | 01:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I am.... not sure what I am | 01:38 |
| drx2 | mezquitale: ok, how might I find the copy program on the Live CD? | 01:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Its like some weird mutant offspring of two-finger and touch typing | 01:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | As long as im not conscious of my fingers... I can touch type XD | 01:38 |
| klown | lol, im the same way | 01:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I just felt that vi is kinda cryptic | 01:39 |
| fallore | i'm trying to use the terminal to install samba ("sudo apt-get install samba") but i get the message "E: Coudln't find package samba" | 01:39 |
| klown | when i started taking programming classes in college, they made us use vi | 01:39 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Cyber_Akuma: It is difficult at first, but once I figured it out, I really like it | 01:39 |
| mister_roboto | Sylvester_Ink: sure, i'm not saying you should stay away from them. i just like the portability and do things with many different kinds of unix, most of which aren't running vim or associated plugins/extensions | 01:40 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Maybe I was too used to edit, but the ui seemed very..... not sure whats the word | 01:40 |
| kmyst | yeah well i got hooked on emacs but eventually learned that vi is installed everywhere whereas emacs wasn't and switched...now i can't see any other way of editing quickly | 01:40 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: primitive? :) | 01:40 |
| Cyber_Akuma | nah | 01:40 |

| Sylvester_Ink | mister_roboto, Cyber_Akuma I'm referring to Vim rather than Vi, fyi | 01:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma | .... I guess cryptic, go to control mode then type ;q to quit | 01:41 |
| fallore | same message, klown | 01:41 |
| klown | fallore, try apt-get install smbfs | 01:41 |
| mezquitale | fallore, you go into "software sources" and enable 3rd party vendors | 01:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I mean, when you can't even figure out how to EXIT a program without a manual... | 01:41 |
| fallore | mezquitale: all i have is a terminal. | 01:41 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: i understand. i hated it at first too :) | 01:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I use nano when I am in a cli | 01:41 |
| fallore | that one didn't work either, klown | 01:41 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Cyber_Akuma: that's what vimtutor is for :D | 01:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma | and gedit or whatever is installed for gui | 01:41 |

| Cyber_Akuma | What advantage does vi have though nowadays? I mean, I can understand how something tiny and using up small memory was useful back in the day, but what advntage does it have over other editors nowadays? | 01:42 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, nothing really. | 01:43 |
| Sylvester_Ink | Cyber_Akuma: because of the available commands, editing is a lot quicker | 01:43 |
| kmyst | simple, it is installed everywhere | 01:43 |
| Cyber_Akuma | So why does everyone use it then? | 01:43 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: for me, it's primarily the speed when you have to go quickly edit a file | 01:43 |
| Cyber_Akuma | heh | 01:43 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, alot of people learned to use it first | 01:43 |
| kmyst | whether you use ubuntu or slackware | 01:43 |
| mister_roboto | cyber Cyber_Akuma and it works in a terminal | 01:43 |
| fallore | can anyone help me install samba with only a command line? | 01:43 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | I'm thinking of trying 9.10 out once again to see if things have improved with audio. I was gonna take my 9.10 standard CD and use ubuntu customization kit to make a disk like there selling on on-disk.com 9.10-10.01 (9.10 with all integrated updates as of Jan 2010).Pretty easy to do. So whats the deal with pulseaudio? Did they change anything with it or is it the same unreliable crap that it has been in the past? | 01:44 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I guess cause this isn't a Vi forum | 01:44 |
| Dmole | fallore: sudo aptitude install samba -y; | 01:44 |
| Sylvester_Ink | I apologize for hijacking the topic | 01:44 |
| bill | leafpad is very similar to notepad on Windows but doesn't suck | 01:44 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Most of the rescue disks I have gotten have several text editors | 01:44 |
| klown | yes, dont talk about anything not related to ubuntu.. :/ | 01:44 |
| klown | get a life, plz. | 01:45 |
| MikeGuo | anyone can help me about my wireless network issue? | 01:45 |
| MikeGuo | thanks | 01:45 |
| fallore | that worked! thank you dmole. or at least i think it did | 01:45 |
| mezquitale | LinuxGuy2009, i've had mixed results in both my laptop and desktop, pulse audio doesn't really work flawlessly in karmic | 01:45 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Hmm.... wireless...... does ubuntu still have problems with wpa support btw? | 01:45 |
| bill | nano at a text prompt is what I use for system rescue ;) | 01:45 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Im stuck on wep :( | 01:45 |
| usr13 | Cyber_Akuma: vim is a very powerful and versitle editor that is quick and easy to use. Try it, you'll like it. | 01:45 |
| Cyber_Akuma | bill: ditto | 01:45 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, havent tried wpa. | 01:45 |
| mister_roboto | Cyber_Akuma: i suspect that most of us vi'ers have supported many variations of unix and done so over remote ssh connections | 01:45 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I HAVE tried it usr13 | 01:45 |
| fallore | Dmole: how can i check to make sure it is installed, and do you know the file that i have to edit to play with the config? | 01:46 |
| mezquitale | is there an admin that can take care of a couple of trolls? | 01:46 |
| usr13 | Cyber_Akuma: Then you should like it. | 01:46 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I needed to boto up another pc and lookup a manual to find out how to exit after failing to use it to edit >.< | 01:46 |
| MikeGuo | Cyber_Akuma: I am not sure. but my wireless card worked, when my wirelss route didn't use secureity | 01:46 |
| klown | Cyber_Akuma, its a good program, as been mentioned, but if you dont care for it, its your personal opinion. | 01:46 |
| gwince | Cyber_Akuma: Yeah, I'm behind. Vi comes as standard with most distros, and it's easier to use that than anything else when you manage 300+ Redhat servers. :) | 01:46 |
| Dmole | fallore: man samba; | 01:46 |
| losha | LinuxGuy2009: Actually, I've had good luck removing pulseaudio altogether: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html | 01:46 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | mezquitale: That sucks. If 10.04 LTS is this bad then Im staying with pure Debian from now on, its much more reliable and stable. | 01:46 |
| MikeGuo | Cyber_Akum: that's because ubuntu support wpa issue? | 01:46 |

| bill | I have a question while I'm here testing this IRC client ;): I'm on karmic koala now, first time linux. When the next LTS comes out in April, should I boot, wait for GDM then Control+Alt+F1 to a console and sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade without fully booting in Gnome? Or does it make a difference? Not needed, use synaptic of a graphical terminal? | 01:51 |
| mezquitale | klown, this is ubuntu support, not vi support, if vi is up and running then ask Cyber_Akuma to go to the forums to learn how to use vi | 01:51 |
| D-coy | m4v hdp where r u??? :P | 01:51 |

| Cyber_Akuma | Ubuntu.... Isn't that like an African or something like that word meaning togetherness? | 01:53 |
| bill | Ubuntu is a package mainly composed of a few custom graphics. The rest of the package is what to include from FLOSS so a definition is in order... ;) Being simple on purpose. | 01:53 |
| bazhang | Cyber_Akuma, please stay on topic | 01:53 |
| mezquitale | mka, if it works on ubuntu, the "installation" is OK, then the issue is not with ubuntu | 01:53 |
| Guest11434 | Anyone? Or is there a particular channel I should take my question to? | 01:53 |
| mister_roboto | bill: on my laptop here, i just do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" fairly regularly to keep everything up to date | 01:54 |
| kmyst | that's what i thought..so if i need help on fsck i need to go to other chan? good reasoning | 01:54 |
| mezquitale | !patience | Guest11434 | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Guest11434: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 01:54 |
| klown | bazhang, mind if i message you? | 01:54 |
| mister_roboto | bill: oh, and do that from an xterm within the gui. if the kernel changes, i reboot | 01:54 |
| mka | mezquitale, confused, but I am not here to discuss off-topic stuff. let me distance myself from this. | 01:54 |
| bazhang | klown, go ahead | 01:54 |
| bill | mister_roboto: oops, apt-get dist-upgrade, gotcha! I'll probably do it from a text console then if it doesn't matter - who knows? ;) | 01:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | BTW, anybody here boot ubuntu and other distros at once? Was wondering if there is a way to make it so grub2 won't have problems if distros other than ubuntu update their kernel, since it seems to need to point to the kernel directly | 01:55 |
| Dmole | Guest11434: put your stuff in a past bin and list any changes after install | 01:55 |
| mister_roboto | bill: it doesn't matter. the update process will restart what it can and anything else will restart some time later. of course you can afford to update a little more freely on your desktop than you might on a mission-critical server :) | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: you could set up the other distros bootloader on the boot record of their partiton and have grub2 chainload the other disrtos bootloader.. some how.. | 01:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Yeah but then THAT disto will aldo triple boot | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: easiest would be to have a seperate hard drive for each disrto and use the bios menus to boot whatever hd you wanted. | 01:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | also* | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: sounds like you will be doing some grub-fu-by hand work then | 01:56 |
| blahblahblix | q | 01:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Its a laptop and I have three OSes on it, not really possible unfortunately | 01:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | WIn7/Ubuntu/OpenSUSE | 01:57 |
| JMONEY | so after i tried check cd for defects i get the follow message: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) | 01:57 |
| losha | Cyber_Akuma: there's no way to *guarantee* that other distros will update grub2 correctly. There's basically no substititute for checking and maintaining it by hand, in my opinion... | 01:57 |
| mka | Dr_Willis, to chainload even linux distros? is that efficient? | 01:57 |
| bill | mister_roboto: Ok then, makes sense! Thank you for the help! When LTS is available I'll be back the next day to see how busy this channel is before doing it myself! ;) Thank you again, done testing IRC client now: goodbye. | 01:57 |
| kmyst | Cyber_Akuma: back before there was such a thing as grub there was lilo and i managed to do 4 linux installs using the above suggestion | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | mka: it dosent slow down anything.. ya just have to hit 2 menu items ay get grub2 --> other grub.. so its possuible | 01:57 |
| JMONEY | any help plz | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Grub can go on the MBR of the hard drive.. OR on teh bootrecord of the partion. thats the 'trick' to chainloading i recall. | 01:58 |
| bazhang | JMONEY, did you md5 the iso | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Now making sure the other disrtos dont fight over installing their boot records is the trick | 01:58 |
| JMONEY | I downloaded from ubuntu.com 2 times | 01:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | There is no way I could, for example, make grub point to a config file that the distro itself can update and let THAT tell it where the kernel/everything is? Sorry if that makes no sense | 01:58 |
| JMONEY | bazhang, how I do that? | 01:58 |
| mezquitale | Cyber_Akuma, basically you just have to try it and see what happens, one issue I have found is that grub2 is poor at finding distros that have their own "/boot" partition, it's a bug and dont know if it got fixed or not but you can definetely make it work with SuSE | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: depends on what the other disrto is using. | 01:58 |
| Guest11434 | I installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier and everything worked just fine. I ran the update manager for the first time and while it was doing its thing it told me that I need to restart. I did so and now I can't boot into Ubuntu. | 01:59 |
| bazhang | !md5 | JMONEY | 01:59 |
| ubottu | JMONEY: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:59 |
| mka | Cyber_Akuma, Dr_Willis, what if there is one bootloader at the MBR and then grub2 use the /vmlinuz and /initrd symbolic links that would point to the latest kernel versions? | 01:59 |
| mtc | Guest11434: grub should show you an option to boot the old version, when you boot | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: some of the new fetures of grub2 will proberly let ya do that somehow.. but grub2 is still a work in progress | 01:59 |
| mezquitale | Guest11434, try going into a console using "altr-ctrl-F1" | 01:59 |
| JMONEY | bazhang, where do I get the .md5 file ? | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | mka: part of the issue will be the various arguments to the kernel and intird also.. | 01:59 |
| losha | mka: you'd still have to keep the links updated if anything changed, so I don't see that you're much better off.... | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Personally if using 2 linux's id just run one in virtualbox. :) | 02:00 |
| bazhang | JMONEY, did you check the link? | 02:00 |
| JMONEY | bazhang, yeah | 02:00 |
| mka | losha, I think when you install the a newer kernel those links are updated automatically | 02:00 |
| Guest11434 | I tried that, I can't enter a console. It hangs on the screen with the white Ubuntu logo right before the splash screen for a bit, and then goes to a black screen with: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 [ 3.575240] Adding 6032368k swap on /dev/sda5.

| JMONEY | k | 02:01 |
| Cyber_Akuma | mka: I .... don't know what that means, sorry, im still learning linux. Symbolic Links I mean.... I guess ill have to see once I reinstall opnsuse and ubuntu | 02:01 |

| Guest11434 | Though sometimes it's not exactly like that. other times it stops after blocks | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Multi-boot with grub and grub2 and chainloading http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152784 | 02:01 |
| kmyst | symbolic link is a shortcut in a sense | 02:01 |
| Cyber_Akuma | When I tried it, it was a mess, but the version of ubuntu I used was still using grub1, and I installed it on a n ext4 partition, opensuse coulden't read ext4 back then either | 02:01 |
| mka | Cyber_Akuma, a symbolic link is simply a shortcut | 02:01 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Now that ubuntu uses grub2 and opensuse can do ext4 im hoping it will be a bit less messy | 02:01 |
| losha | mka: maybe true when you update a ubuntu kernel, but if you're dual-booting say, bsd, you're gonna have to do some hand editing.... | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: if you dont know what symbolic links even are.. well.. :) you may want to stick to running one disrto in virtualbox then. | 02:02 |
| mezquitale | Guest11434, it sounds like you have a bad hard drive | 02:02 |
| mka | losha, why? | 02:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Im new to linux, not computers :P | 02:02 |
| mtc | Guest11434: yup hard disk drive errors | 02:02 |
| Guest11434 | Also, I'm not sure if this means anything but when it was working it just booted into Ubuntu. Ever since the problem started it's been taking me straight to GRUB | 02:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma | mka: I see | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: grub2 has some very powerfull scripting features that could proberly read some suse configs and auto add the proper entries.. but i still think chainloading would be the proper way. | 02:03 |
| mka | losha, at some point a had 6 operating systems on 1 machine with one grub in MBR | 02:03 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Yeah, I like how its modular, saved me when using linux on THIS pc | 02:03 |
| mka | losha, but that was the older grub not this confusing new one | 02:03 |
| Cyber_Akuma | getting it to boot was a mess XD | 02:03 |
| losha | mka: because other distros, and even older versions of ubuntu can't be relied on to get the syntax correct when they update the grub config files.... | 02:03 |
| mezquitale | Guest11434, do you have grub2 installed? Does it make it to the point when you can choose what OS to boot up into? | 02:03 |
| mtc | Guest11434: try booting to a live cd | 02:04 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Old motherboard that can't read past the 132gb limit, the hdd is 160gb and I installed linux past the 132gb mark.... that took a while to fix in grub2 | 02:04 |
| Guest11434 | Actually it says GRUB 1.97 (or 94, something like that) beta. It does allow me to choose the OS to boot into (though only Ubuntu is on there) | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: thats odd... :) then again . there used to be a 1024 cylinder limit. thats one of the reasons for /boot/ partitions | 02:04 |
| kmyst | yeah but whilst in one distro grub can't/shouldn't update the config files for another distro unless for some *crazy* reason you are trying to share /boot amongst the various distros...that way lies madness | 02:04 |
| Guest11434 | I can boot with a liveCD... Not sure what to do with it though, I've never run into a problem like this | 02:05 |
| mka | losha, ok, my knowledge is limited when it goes to grub2 but with the older grub, there are no problems | 02:05 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Tried a boot partition, still didn't help, I just wound up installing grub with the ata module instead of the bios one | 02:05 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Had to edit grub's autoconfig files to point to ata instead of hd devices too... | 02:05 |
| ribot | hi, i wonder how to mount a drive on boot the same was as you mount it when clicking it in places...the drive in question is a local fat32 drive | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: perhaps this url -> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/57896-suse-ubuntu-dual-boot.html | 02:05 |
| Cyber_Akuma | thanks | 02:05 |
| kmyst | ribot: add it to /etc/fstab | 02:05 |
| mezquitale | Guest11434, boot up to your live CD, then youre going to show us how your hard drive is partition using paste bin, remember use paste bin to post multiple lines, do not post to the channel or you will be kicked | 02:06 |
| losha | mka: maybe you were just lucky. Plenty of people show up here claiming an update messed with their grub configs.... | 02:06 |
| mka | Guest11434, what is your problem again? | 02:06 |
| ribot | kmyst: i have tried a few different ways to do this but i dont have write permissions when i do it | 02:06 |
| drx2 | what do you do when the Live CD gets stuck on "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel? | 02:06 |
| mka | losha, nope, not lucky, since warty | 02:06 |
| Guest11434 | Not sure how to use paste bin | 02:06 |
| mezquitale | mka, he can't boot up, he chooses his OS in grub menu then machine hungs | 02:06 |
| kmyst | ribot: use sudo instead of editing it as your normal login | 02:07 |
| mezquitale | !paste | Guest11434 | 02:07 |

| ribot | kmyst: i edited the fiel as sudo if that's what you mean | 02:07 |
| Guest11434 | Alright, I'll try that. | 02:07 |
| mka | losha, neither, i like your humour, ha, ha! | 02:07 |

| kmyst | ribot: what i meant was as an example: sudo vi /etc/fstab ... or whatever your poison is for an editor | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: i see an improvement in your GRUB skills in your future... :) | 02:08 |
| ribot | kmyst i did edit fstab with sudo, but idont know what options to write to get permissions for my normal user to read and write | 02:09 |

| Cyber_Akuma | Why? Are you on that system right now? | 02:14 |
| jordanwb | benjgvps: Put a # before the disable | 02:14 |
| mka | Cyber_Akuma, yes, I have been running this laptop with no HDD for about 4 days now | 02:14 |
| `brandon` | Cyber_Akuma me? | 02:15 |
| Cyber_Akuma | If there are files you need to save, you could archive (and password encrypt) them then upload them to a file sharing site like rapidshare or megaupload | 02:15 |
| Cyber_Akuma | and write down the url | 02:15 |
| `brandon` | oh | 02:15 |
| mka | `brandon`, not you | 02:15 |
| kmyst | Cyber_Akuma: why can't one suspend and keep everything in ram so long as the battery has juice??? | 02:15 |
| Cyber_Akuma | That or go out and buy a usb flashdrive, im afraid those are sorta your only oreal options | 02:16 |
| mka | `brandon`, oh, maybe you | 02:16 |
| Cyber_Akuma | kmyst: he said he needs a powerless solution | 02:16 |

| mka | Dr_Willis, ja it's hardware I think so as well, because I can mount it sometimes and access files, then about 2 minutes later, POOF, files are gone | 02:22 |
| kmyst | sounds like hardware then | 02:23 |
| losha | mka: I'm with Dr_Willis. There should be endless complaints in dmesg if the disk drops out.... | 02:23 |
| riverbird | must be an old windows drive | 02:23 |
| kmyst | any seek not ready statements in the kernel log? | 02:23 |
| itsnotstalking | losha, you just dont know how to treat her right ;) | 02:24 |
| mka | losha, but I never ever seen that disk for the past 4 days, its a luck if it shows up (like a rain in the desert) | 02:24 |

| matelot | ? Hi does Ubuntu(904) recognize the "windows" key ? | 02:24 |
| matelot | at all | 02:25 |
| losha | jordanwb: and nothing in the output of dmesg ? | 02:25 |
| usr13 | matelot: If you want it to. | 02:25 |
| mka | losha, I managed to quickly deleting its swap partition because it used to trap my livecd session when it vanishes | 02:25 |
| ribot | how come it's so easy to get permissions when you mount the drive from ubuntu's gui, but so difficult to mount it on boot? | 02:25 |

| usr13 | matelot: you can assign it to do what you want, like bringing up the start menu... or some other clever function of your choosing. | 02:26 |

| kmyst | yeah your right | 02:35 |
| ribot | i noticed | 02:35 |

| usr13 | JMONEY: So you boot the computer with the Ubuntu install CD in the CDROM? Right? Tell us what you see on the screen first? And what ISO is it you have burnned to the CD? | 02:36 |
| klown | Xfact, have you installed the restricted drivers for the card? | 02:36 |
| mka | kmyst, what do you mean by "honoring user" | 02:36 |
| Xfact | klown: yes from the hardware driver section | 02:36 |
| ribot | mka: doesn't work | 02:37 |
| JMONEY | usr13, It boots the cd I get to the BOOT menu with the options to install, try, etc.. I hit install and get the message | 02:37 |
| ribot | mka: i added user as option in fstab | 02:37 |
| kmyst | mka: to mount automatically and have his user be able to work with files instead of being root | 02:37 |
| mka | ribot, is this a usb flash disk? | 02:37 |
| ribot | mka no it's the hard drive | 02:37 |
| klown | Xfact, and have you installed the drivers from synaptic? | 02:37 |
| mka | ribot, /dev/sd what? | 02:38 |
| ribot | sda2 | 02:38 |
| usr13 | JMONEY: I'd say there is a problem with the CD or the CDROM. | 02:38 |
| mka | ribot, which user do you want to have permissions? | 02:38 |
| ribot | the user ribot | 02:38 |
| JMONEY | usr13, I even tried to install from USB stick, Hard Dick | 02:38 |
| JMONEY | same problem. | 02:38 |
| usr13 | JMONEY: What is your hardware? (What type of PC are you booting?) | 02:39 |
| Xfact | klown: no not from synaptic...automatically from-System>admin>hardware drivers..... (it was showing driver available..I just installed it...) | 02:39 |

| mka | ribot, you can add this to the fstab file "/dev/sda2 /media/DATA vfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0007 0 0" | 02:39 |
| mka | ribot, but I like persistent filesystem to have mount points in /mnt rather than /media | 02:40 |
| riverbird | JMONEY, is this a liveCD? what is your RAM? | 02:40 |
| ribot | why do you like this mka? | 02:41 |
| JMONEY | ram 1gh | 02:41 |
| ribot | i will try your line now mka, thanks for your help, and kmyst too | 02:41 |

| tos | how to i start the mouse deamon | 02:46 |
| mka | ribot, I assumed that your uid is 1000 and your gid is 1000 (type "id" to confirm this for yourself) | 02:46 |
| klown | Xfact, basically, it says you need to upgrade to the 173 version of the prop. driver. | 02:46 |
| ribot | mka, yes | 02:46 |
| mka | ribot, the umask option makes sure that the permissions are rwxrwx--- | 02:46 |
| mka | ribot, if you want rwxr-x--- then you should have umask=0027 | 02:47 |

| skyn3t_ | hey | 02:48 |
| tos | for gnome | 02:48 |
| riverbird | JMONEY, i had a similar issue .. i ended up downloading a new iso from a different server and rebunring it. worked fine then. never solved the original problem .. | 02:48 |
| mka | ribot, and lastly, fat32 filesystem doesn't have the feature for owners/groups and permissions so these are just to fool the kernel | 02:48 |
| JMONEY | riverbird, i might have to do the same then | 02:48 |
| skyn3t_ | who want become to become a good member of nice torrent TRACKER just send me PM | 02:49 |

| losha | kylecarey: that's unusual. It implies the filesystem can't be salvaged. I guess you've no option but to boot without completing the fsck. I wouldn't trust the filesystem now that this has happened. Backup anything important and expect plan to do a reinstall in the near future.... | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | funghoul how do I format it ? | 03:14 |
| Silnt | dr: no i wanna have my linux be the main internet server so my cable modem would be connected via usb then from the built in nic would goto my linksys router for the rest of the computers | 03:14 |
| funghoul | ubuntu_ does it so a list of partions? | 03:15 |
| Silnt | i only have pci nics and my box only has 1 pci-e slot | 03:15 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah | 03:15 |
| ubuntu_ | funghoul yeah | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Silnt: that may be possible. but the usb -> pc connection will be slower then a normal network connection | 03:15 |

| tyler_ | hello | 03:19 |
| tyler_ | and how is every one today | 03:19 |
| funghoul | ubuntu_ first pick your hard drive, be sure you get the right one, then erase any partions and make a new one. I like to use 3. one as a swap, on as the system partion and one as the home partion but one partion works just fine | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Silnt: No idea.. Ive never seen one used by ANYONE under linux or windows. :) the ISP guys even said dont bother with the USB ports on the cable modems | 03:19 |
| losha | Silnt: feeding a cable modem to a nat router and only forwarding selected ports is pretty much the safest setup you can have (in my opinion).... | 03:20 |

| ubottu | k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto | 03:26 |
| kylecarey | if you use compiz and such on a gnome is it faster than useing kde and compiz? | 03:26 |
| Izinucs | tyler_: ifconfig will show you stuff.. don't know if you've tried it yet or not.. ip will display | 03:26 |
| tyler_ | ifconfig just shows u ur hardware | 03:28 |

| losha | kylecarey: I don't know for sure, but if there were a really big speed difference, people would be shouting about how much faster it was. and that doesn't happen, so.... | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | kylecarey: kde4 dosent realluy need compiz. it has its own EyeCandy | 03:28 |
| Scott1979 | i prefer compix on gnome | 03:28 |
| Izinucs | ah.. you want someting that shows what is connected to you.. not what your ip address is.. try wireshark | 03:29 |
| kylecarey | losha: yea, i was just wondering. im torn on weather to install ubuntu or kubuntu | 03:29 |
| funghoul | is there a way to exclude the local programs communicating to each other in the list you get from netstat -an? | 03:29 |
| tyler_ | ok i have wireshark | 03:29 |
| Scott1979 | kde is very 3d in deskto and has a wideget ovelay as default so yes u will get a slower dektop if u dont have the power in kde | 03:29 |
| tyler_ | but how do u use it | 03:29 |
| dfcnvt | You want to know your external ip address? Type down ipaddress in google then click for feeling lucky | 03:29 |

| kylecarey | thanks scott1979 | 03:29 |
| Scott1979 | is ok kyle | 03:30 |
| tyler_ | no i want to know wht is connected to me | 03:30 |
| tyler_ | and what there ip is | 03:31 |
| Scott1979 | i prefer gnome and i have both kde and gnome installed | 03:31 |
| acovrig | is it just me or is something wrong with #php? | 03:31 |
| dfcnvt | I see, It is either you can use wireshark or arptable | 03:31 |
| benjgvps | Hey, I want to make my old PC a media player, I have Rythmbox installed though when I try to play an MP3 I get a message telling me that it can't download an encoder | 03:31 |
| Scott1979 | are u trying to see the ips that are connected to u tyler | 03:31 |
| benjgvps | or it doesn't have a decodor | 03:31 |
| kylecarey | scott1979: i figured id go with gnome. i think its just as pretty | 03:31 |
| Scott1979 | like booting hosts of game server | 03:32 |
| tyler_ | YES | 03:32 |
| benjgvps | Can I apt-get some codec pack of some sort? | 03:32 |
| Scott1979 | go pm kyle | 03:32 |
| dfcnvt | apt-get install wireshark | 03:32 |
| losha | tyler_: netstat -an should do it. Do you want to run netstat -an and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com ? | 03:32 |
| tyler_ | i have tha | 03:32 |
| CShadowRun | benjgvps: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:32 |
| tyler_ | that | 03:32 |
| tyler_ | but how do u use it | 03:32 |
| CShadowRun | benjgvps: codecs, flash players, java, fonts, etc :) | 03:32 |

| benjgvps | CShadowRun: Do you know if that will install on a PowerPC? Since it doesn't have Flash I know that | 03:32 |
| funghoul | benjgvps you need to enable the multiverse repositories | 03:32 |

| webbb82 | i just got a new laptop and it came with windows 7 , im thinking of installling ubuntu onto my external hard drive and run it that way what about wubi install would that be a better way than installing on external hd ?? | 03:35 |
| funghoul | I just got into it, I don't know what the problem is, but you could try another client | 03:35 |
| acovrig | funghoul, ok thanks | 03:35 |
| benjgvps | webbb82: It should work on an external drive, though Wubi isn't an awful choice for trying it out | 03:36 |
| riverbird | webbb82, i've heard mostly trouble with wubi. why not just dual boot? | 03:36 |
| webbb82 | if i go the external hd rout will it act just like a normal hard drive install i can save files and download and it saves? | 03:36 |
| effendi | webbb82: its about performance, which hard drive is faster.. thats my opinion | 03:36 |
| dfcnvt | 93 minutes to go | 03:37 |

| === matt_ is now known as Guest61796 | ||
| webbb82 | i should just dual boot | 03:37 |
| Guest61796 | hi.. how do i set ubuntu to resume all user running processes after a reboot or power failure? | 03:37 |
| effendi | even when dual-booting, itll be slower because of where ubuntu is located on your hard drive | 03:37 |
| === Guest61796 is now known as toss | ||
| effendi | the first OS is always faster | 03:38 |
| benjgvps | Well the links provided by the bot are useless like always, I could care less about free formats. Is there just a package with the audio codecs? | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | i would just install it and take off windows but it didnt come with a window install cd if i ever want to go back to windows 7 | 03:38 |
| benjgvps | webbb82: It may have a restore partition | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | it does | 03:38 |
| riverbird | webbb82, what size the new hdd? | 03:38 |
| effendi | webbb82: sometimes manufacturers leave backup partitions with a bios that allows you to restore it to normal when pressed | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | but would the ubuntu installer remove it when it partitions my hard drive | 03:38 |
| benjgvps | webbb82: It will | 03:39 |
| riverbird | webbb82, p | 03:39 |
| webbb82 | so that wouldnt work | 03:39 |
| trism | benjgvps: ubuntu-restricted-extras has a bunch of codecs (as well as other things), or you could just install the gstreamer bad, ugly, etc packages | 03:39 |
| toss | hi.. how do i set ubuntu to resume all user running processes after a reboot or power failure? please help | 03:39 |
| webbb82 | i must say windows 7 is really nice | 03:39 |
| benjgvps | trism: The gstreamer one seems fine. Any links for a list of them? | 03:39 |
| benjgvps | webbb82: It is, I'm enjoying it :) | 03:40 |
| riverbird | webbb82, leave 20 GB for windows and put ubuntu on the rest or vice-versa | 03:40 |
| benjgvps | riverbird: Will 20 GB be enough? | 03:40 |
| FunnyMan4595 | Any idea how I can /quit | 03:40 |
| FunnyMan4595 | Bah. | 03:40 |
| webbb82 | ok so ill eithor dual boot or just install ubuntu onto my external hd and run it that way but what one to pick | 03:40 |
| FunnyMan4595 | Started a question earlier, and forgot about it. | 03:40 |
| FunnyMan4595 | I meant to do this... | 03:40 |
| riverbird | webbb82, ubuntu will fit on about 4 gb, so depends mostly on your files | 03:41 |
| trism | benjgvps: they are all of the form gstreamer0.10-plugins- (bad, ugly, bad-multverse, ugly-multiverse...that's pretty much it) | 03:41 |
| webbb82 | im leaning more and more twords dual booting | 03:41 |

| === zach is now known as Guest66294 | ||
| losha | webbb82: well, start by backing up the restore partition, in case it all goes horribly wrong.... | 03:41 |
| benjgvps | trism: Thanks! I'll look into it | 03:41 |
| webbb82 | now that i have a better computer i can run kde and not have it lag to the point of not useable | 03:42 |
| jmoney_ | ok | 03:42 |
| webbb82 | how do i backup the restore partiton | 03:42 |
| riverbird | webbb82, how big is the new win7 harddrive? | 03:42 |
| jmoney_ | I got a monitor unknown | 03:42 |
| jmoney_ | everything is all big | 03:42 |
| psylon | Anyone know the best backup software for ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| ratonplayer | 4chan , Discuss | 03:42 |
| trism | benjgvps: the ubuntu-restricted-extras has a few more too, if you don't want everything else, you can just do an apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras and just install the codecs there (no flash or fonts etc) | 03:42 |
| webbb82 | did you guys know there is kde for windows | 03:43 |
| usr13 | webbb82: A laptop without linux is like a car without tires. | 03:43 |

| webbb82 | if i ever want to go back to single boot can i add the other partiton to the other | 03:44 |

| usr13 | benjgvps: You heard wrong. | 03:46 |
| benjgvps | Hmm | 03:46 |
| benjgvps | Yeah, I find gparted to be the one tool that doesn't hurt my Windows install :) | 03:46 |
| webbb82 | benjgvps: do u know how to boot from usb in windows | 03:46 |
| benjgvps | I may | 03:46 |
| webbb82 | o | 03:47 |

| benjgvps | Though it isn't specific to windows | 03:47 |
| karma_police | why does it take so long to copy files to a flash drive in ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | webbb82: in windows? Huh? i normally set teh bios to boot the usb devices.. | 03:47 |
| webbb82 | ya true | 03:47 |
| Blue1 | karma_police: what filesystem do you have on the flash drive? | 03:47 |
| benjgvps | Usally there is an optioon when you boot that asks to select a boot device | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | karma_police: i noticed the write speed seeming slow also.. but the read speeds seem faster for my flash drives.. not sure what the deal ios | 03:47 |
| karma_police | fat32 | 03:47 |
| === fen[mf] is now known as fengor | ||
| Blue1 | karma_police: fat32 is slow to begin with under linux - | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Flash drives in general do write slower then they read dont they? | 03:48 |
| karma_police | read speed is fine. just seems to take forever to write to it | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | karma_police: you are not being distracted by the windows copying file animations.. so it just seems longer. :) | 03:48 |
| Blue1 | Dr_Willis: yes that has been my experience - when I put ubuntu on the flash drive I used ext2 (no journaling) and set noatim | 03:48 |
| Blue1 | noatime even | 03:48 |
| karma_police | i am sharing files with my friend and he uses windoze so i have to use fat | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Well its bed time for me i think. bye all. | 03:49 |
| Blue1 | karma_police: through samba? | 03:49 |
| karma_police | you may be right dr_wilis... maybe i should find some annoying windows theme music to play.. lol | 03:49 |

| usr13 | Good night all. | 03:49 |
| karma_police | no...sneakernet... he lives 4 houses down | 03:49 |
| Blue1 | karma_police: ahh yes then fat32 it is... | 03:49 |
| karma_police | trying to convert him tho... i love ubuntu | 03:50 |
| Blue1 | karma_police: i dunno if you can format it ntfs, whether that would be any faster -- be interesting to find out though | 03:50 |
| karma_police | i think gparted does ntfs.. i don't know if the write speed would be any faster tho | 03:51 |
| Blue1 | karma_police: nor I -- but I know when I went from a journaled file system to ext2 on the usb drive it really sped up quite a bit | 03:51 |

| ubuntu_ | manco ur back ! | 03:59 |
| ganymede | hi, i was using a microsd card in read only-mode on the card reader slot on my laptop but after ejecting it and putting it back in, ubuntu no longer automounted it; said it wasn't a valid vfat partition. in hexdump, starting from byte offset 0x200, it looks like there are 4 or 5 megabytes worth of nothing but 1 bits. does that sound correct for a vfat? | 03:59 |
| webbb82 | and ur dual booting? | 03:59 |
| manco_ | yea | 03:59 |
| karma_police | i tried dualbooting with ubuntu loaded first and could never get my grub.cfg configured correctly | 03:59 |
| webbb82 | hmm | 03:59 |
| Blue1 | webbb82: when you run the ubuntu installer -- it will ask how big the partition should be -- what it's really asking is how much room do you want to steal from windows for ubuntu - yes I run dual boot mmmVista and Ubuntu | 03:59 |
| karma_police | loaded windows then ubuntu then did update grub and everything works fine | 03:59 |
| karma_police | 7 and ubuntu here | 04:00 |
| froglet | I have a problem that when I start apps, they are maximized, but I only have this problem on one machine, on the other that also runs Jaunty, the windows open to the size they were the previous time.

| karma_police | only using windows because i am in tech school and have to take the windows classes | 04:00 |
| Blue1 | :-( | 04:00 |
| karma_police | i hope 10.04 has a better flash alternative | 04:01 |
| Super_Handsomas | Hai | 04:02 |
| froglet | devilspie works sometimes | 04:02 |
| Super_Handsomas | What're the differences between apt and aptitude? | 04:02 |
| froglet | sometimes is not good enough :) | 04:02 |
| froglet | aptitude is smarter | 04:02 |
| froglet | works out dependencies better | 04:02 |
| riverbird | for dual boot, make sure windows is on hdd first, then ubuntu - not the other way | 04:02 |
| Super_Handsomas | so always use aptitude? | 04:03 |
| karma_police | windoze eats up grub | 04:03 |
| froglet | riverbird: that is good advice when installing openSUSE and Ubuntu | 04:03 |
| froglet | Super: I try to use aptitude all the time | 04:03 |
| karma_police | my bet is that it in intentional.. linux is a threat to windows and they know it | 04:03 |
| froglet | sometimes I forget | 04:03 |
| riverbird | i agree | 04:04 |
| benjgvps | A threat to Windows? HAHAHAHAHHA | 04:04 |
| benjgvps | Linux has it's place | 04:04 |
| riverbird | froglet, sorry, not to you. w/ suse it shouldn't matter .. eh? | 04:04 |
| porter1 | Anyone have any good articles, commands, or tips about how to trim down and optimizer Xorg? I dcon't need a lot of the functionality included. | 04:05 |
| Guest7001 | karma_police: Or it is an evidence of how sloppy Windows is. Not a threat. :o | 04:05 |
| Super_Handsomas | benjgvps: Did you not read "An open letter to hobbyists"? Bill Gates himself has always been frightened of OpenSource. | 04:05 |
| benjgvps | No, I haven't | 04:05 |
| karma_police | open sores for gates.. haha | 04:05 |
| froglet | riverbird: I installed Ubuntu and then openSUSE and openSUSE took over | 04:05 |
| Super_Handsomas | Read that and the Halloween Documents | 04:05 |
| riverbird | ah, good to know .. | 04:05 |
| froglet | riverbird: so I reversed the order and everything worked | 04:05 |
| benjgvps | Though Linux has it's place, It's just not ready for consumer use | 04:06 |
| benjgvps | Widespread | 04:06 |
| Super_Handsomas | benjgvps: I disagree whole-heartedly! | 04:06 |
| karma_police | i agree... its getting there tho | 04:06 |
| Super_Handsomas | With distros like Mint and Ubuntu - who can't use Linux? | 04:06 |
| benjgvps | It needs more hardware support | 04:06 |
| Super_Handsomas | Such as? | 04:06 |
| karma_police | an absolute point and clicker would be lost with linux | 04:06 |
| benjgvps | With graphics cards and such | 04:06 |
| Guest7001 | benjgvps: There are no consumers. It is free. :) | 04:06 |
| tvaughn | benjgvps, i agree | 04:06 |
| karma_police | windows is made for dummies | 04:06 |
| benjgvps | Guest7001: The hardware is purchased | 04:07 |
| benjgvps | By a consumer | 04:07 |
| Super_Handsomas | karma_police: I migrated to Windows on day having no idea what a CLI was. Now I can work Linux with the best of them. | 04:07 |
| tvaughn | windows holds your hand when you dont want it to | 04:07 |
| riverbird | hardware support is not the issue! proprietary manufacturers are the problem | 04:07 |
| benjgvps | That hardware may or may not function | 04:07 |
| tvaughn | but hides when u need help | 04:07 |
| Super_Handsomas | benjgvps: I completely disagree | 04:07 |
| Super_Handsomas | The biggest complaints I see are on wireless cards and they rarely work on the first go anyway | 04:07 |
| benjgvps | riverbird: Well look at a percentage of Linux users to Windows users, they are doing the economic choice and supporting the most users | 04:07 |
| Super_Handsomas | riverbird: I concur | 04:07 |
| Super_Handsomas | benjgvps: Excellent point | 04:08 |
| Blue1 | Super_Handsomas: well said - I had to backport to get the wireless to work reliably on my acer | 04:08 |
| tvaughn | how do they know who uses what | 04:08 |
| dfcnvt | you want to reduce the size of xorg? | 04:08 |
| dfcnvt | http://fluxbuntu.org | 04:08 |
| guiscard | me disagree too, linux can destroy the piece of shit windows | 04:08 |
| Super_Handsomas | tvaughn: Like companies, designed to make money, don't run demographics. *rolls eyes* | 04:08 |

| Gaming4JC | Hey all, do you know which logs can tell me what files have been recently deleted/moved? I have a client that lost a lot of important information and has no idea what they did. | 04:42 |
| qt-x | i think that is the problem: no 2 app can have write access to hdd in the same time | 04:43 |
| iqbala | ardchoille: hadbrake is not working.. i source the /dev/sr0 but the start option is grayed out | 04:43 |
| philabole | ljamisonii: i have been using one windows machine and the ubuntu (the fresh install) switching the mouse and keyboard back and forth so i could troubleshoot my issue of not being able to get on the net....and be damned when i figure it out the mouse is dead | 04:43 |

| iqbala | ardchoille: any idea why start is grayed out.. even tho i can pick the /dev/sr0 fine | 04:45 |
| ljamisonii | philabole: haha...that absolutely sucks. The only other thing I can suggest is as long as you don't have anything important on your current install, remove and reinstall the ubuntu OS. | 04:45 |
| ubuntu_ | qt-x it is still empty ... | 04:45 |

| qt-x | Drunkpunk1: check-> man chmod | 05:27 |
| c3101 | NOC1, what wireless adapter does your netbook have ? | 05:27 |
| tvaughn | hm i tried changing the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and now if i try running ssh 127.0.0.1 it does connection refused on port 22 and if i specify the -p 20050 it says connection reset by peer | 05:27 |
| ardchoille | Drunkpunk1: Have a read here: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html | 05:27 |
| c3101 | tvaughn, try telnet host 20050 and see if you get ANY connection, might be a firewall problem | 05:28 |
| Drunkpunk1 | ardchoille:readin right now | 05:28 |
| tvaughn | could nto resolve host | 05:28 |
| NOC1 | wireless-n wlan minicard | 05:28 |
| c3101 | tvaughn, well there's your problem ! | 05:28 |
| NOC1 | wat do u mean | 05:29 |
| tos_ | any1 know how to setup a public 8 block of ips to be managed by ubuntu-server.... | 05:29 |
| tos_ | i.e. ubuntu gives ip to virtual servers.... | 05:29 |
| tvaughn | c3101, it works if i do telnet 127.0.0.1 | 05:29 |
| c3101 | erm | 05:29 |
| bastid_raZor | skyllo: sudo apt-get install conky | 05:30 |
| c3101 | tvaughn, from a remote machine, telnet to the machine's ip that is running the sshd on 20050, like such -> telnet <ip addr of the remote machine> 20050 | 05:30 |
| tvaughn | nothing happens | 05:30 |
| skyllo | ok | 05:31 |
| NOC1 | so whatt should i do to use wireless on netbook | 05:31 |
| marcham89 | http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/microsoft-sucks-at-photoshop/ | 05:31 |

| ardchoille | tvaughn: :) | 05:33 |
| NOC1 | nite | 05:33 |
| c3101 | tvaughn, if you can't connect to the remote machine via telnet, you sure aint going to connect via ssh, because there is no connection, either because of routing, firewalling, etc., first get the connection, then i'm sure it will work | 05:33 |
| Drunkpunk1 | ardchoille:well, my learning curve just got steeper, am going to need coffee to digest this before locking myself out of my files | 05:34 |
| tvaughn | c3101, how can i find what the problem is though | 05:34 |
| handrus | good night! | 05:34 |
| bastid_raZor | !ssh | tvaughn read this page, it'll help troubleshoot | 05:34 |
| ubottu | tvaughn read this page, it'll help troubleshoot: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:34 |
| Drunkpunk1 | ardchoille: tvaughn: qt-x: many thx and happy NY | 05:34 |
| philabole | Is there another channel that i can get help with my internet issue....i'm desperate | 05:35 |
| handrus | what is the right architecture for a phenom quad core on apt-build ? | 05:35 |
| marcham89 | philabole: linux channel | 05:35 |
| ardchoille | Drunkpunk1: once you star using the command line, it'll get easier :) | 05:35 |
| bastid_raZor | handrus: which version of ubuntu is what matters. if youinstalled the 64bit or the 32bit. | 05:36 |
| dre | hey all happy new year | 05:36 |
| handrus | bastid_raZor, 64bit | 05:36 |
| dre | all the best | 05:36 |
| skyllo | How do I find the file editable in conky? I can not find the folder using CTRL + H. .. | 05:37 |
| bastid_raZor | handrus: 86_64x is the correct arch | 05:37 |
| bastid_raZor | skyllo: ~/.conkyrc ..but normally first use time you need to create it and for a .conkyrc file you need to snag an example from the conky site or create your own | 05:37 |
| qt-x | you're welcome | 05:38 |
| handrus | bastid_raZor, I just installed apt-build and its asking me the processor arch... I have nocona, core2, k8, opterom, athlon 64 etc | 05:38 |
| Dezine | I was wondering if anyone could tell me what script is used to power http://releases.ubuntu.com/ such as a cms of sorts of it is a custom script | 05:39 |
| handrus | just this options... should I just enter manually "x86_64" at /etc/apt/apt-build.conf ? | 05:39 |
| seenu | hi | 05:45 |
| dnivra | how do I install new login screen themes in karmic? In jaunty it was just a matter of selecting the source file from System->Admn->Login windows. I asked in #tango but no response; was just wondering if anyone knew how to do so here. | 05:47 |
| qt-x | dnivra: gdmsetup command i guse | 05:48 |
| wowoto | dnivra: download the login theme ，then install it | 05:48 |
| dnivra | qt-x: nope the gdmsetup aint it; it's same as System -> Admn -> Login Screen. nothing there to choose the source. | 05:49 |
| === jeremy_ is now known as Guest80406 | ||
| dnivra | wowoto: I thought so too; but small issue - no configure script or anything in the source! | 05:50 |
| qt-x | drag ther the sorce | 05:50 |
| digitalchemist | Hey, I need a way to get a transparent gnome-panel. Using compiz's opacity plugin is a non-solution (it makes the icons and text transparent). Adjusting the background transparency with gnome-panel doesn't show windows that move under the panel, so it's not true transparency. So, wtf... ? | 05:51 |
| dnivra | qt-x: are you using karmic? or some other version? | 05:51 |
| qt-x | I did so on 9.4 and work | 05:52 |

| sepehr | planning on installing XP to dual boot with my current ubuntu karmic, i am well aware that windows will wipe out grub, but have no idea how to restore grub2 and have it with both windows and karmic boot options | 05:52 |
| qt-x | in gdmsetup chose login screen tab | 05:52 |
| qt-x | then drag there | 05:53 |
| dnivra | qt-x: that's in jaunty. this is what gdmsetup looks like in karmic if it's of any help. http://yfrog.com/jkscreenshotloginscreensep | 05:53 |

| sepehr | many reasons | 05:53 |
| LinuxPhreak | I need help getting compiz-fusion to work on Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop. I've installed restricted drivers but not sure if they need to be configured or how to configure them. I've also ran sudo compiz and sudo compiz --replace and got some messages saying thinngs didn't pass | 05:54 |
| Izinucs | sepehr: if not games then you might consider installing in virtualbox instead.. you won't have the grub issues and you'll have access to windows within ubuntu without rebooting | 05:54 |
| qt-x | so it is not like this ? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Gdmsetup.png | 05:55 |
| dnivra | qt-x: be right back alright. | 05:55 |
| sepehr | i already have virtual box and most wine software out there (ie: playonlinux, crossover linux, cedega, wine doors) but i actually need windows for reasons where virtualbox and wine cant just cut it | 05:56 |
| wowoto | dnivra: you can download the gdm from here ： http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/ then install it hope you like it | 05:56 |
| skyllo | I see that all drivers are installed? | 05:56 |
| Izinucs | sepehr: well all I can do unfortunately is have ubottu give you the grub link | 05:57 |
| skyllo | card drivers? | 05:57 |
| Izinucs | !grub2 | sepehr | 05:57 |

| kmyst | xiong: i'm on intrepid and it is called user switcher | 06:09 |
| coz_ | dnivra, well if you mean gdm themes I do indeed but you really cant install gdm themes anymore if you are on ubuntu karmic | 06:09 |
| danny | Does anyone know why searches from the Ubuntu start page are not showing up in my Google History page? | 06:09 |
| xiong | kmyst, Thank you. 'User Switcher' is one of the things still available but it's not like the old one. | 06:10 |
| xiong | kmyst, At least I will have a starting point for tracking down the change. | 06:10 |
| coz_ | dnivra, actually the more gtk2 themes you have installed the more variation in gdm themes you can have as well | 06:10 |
| dnivra | coz_: yeah gdm; didn't know the term. can't install them any more? great! | 06:10 |
| itsnotstalking | danny, do you reall y want that freaky shit show up up in there? | 06:10 |
| coz_ | dnivra, ok lets test it first ...open a terminal | 06:10 |
| kmyst | xiong: np, haven't upgraded past intrepid myself due to having ati vid card and losing advanced video capabilty...or so i've read | 06:10 |
| danny | Yes, I really do! And I forgot to mention that all of my browsing is showing up there but not my searches. | 06:11 |
| dnivra | coz_: yeah I'm in a terminal. what should I do? | 06:11 |
| coz_ | dnivra, then copy and paste t his next command by highlighting it here and simply middle clicking inside the terminal window gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties | 06:11 |

| coz_ | dnivra, what will open is the gnome control center and you choose one of the gtk2 themes then close out of that and restart x or log out and back on I think the log off should do it | 06:12 |
| sunil2 | how to solve this problem? | 06:12 |

| joshua__ | http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html | 06:14 |
| coz_ | dnivra, ok lets be sure you went to the right place and chose the correct thing | 06:14 |
| joshua__ | I need to install the Linux driver forRadeon Mobility X1600 | 06:14 |

| joshua__ | *ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 | 06:14 |
| lstarnes | !radeon | joshua__ | 06:15 |
| ubottu | joshua__: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:15 |
| lstarnes | joshua__: have you tried using ubuntu's official packages for the drivers? | 06:15 |
| coz_ | dnivra, when that opens click the "Customize" button then the "Controls" tab | 06:15 |
| === rww is now known as rw | ||
| sepehr | joshua__: also note that the fglrx drivers wont work on karmic | 06:15 |
| coz_ | dnivra, that is where you make the change however it cant be done until you use that command to opne the appearance properties | 06:15 |
| dnivra | coz_ you want a screen shot? i get a window with the old theme selected. | 06:16 |
| joshua__ | I tried, but apparently the default gpu driver ubuntu provides doesn't support my GFX card. | 06:16 |
| coz_ | dnivra, ok did you follow those last directions? | 06:16 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as fiber | ||
| coz_ | dnivra, let me show you hold on | 06:16 |
| dnivra | coz_: sure thing. they made no sense:). | 06:16 |
| sepehr | joshua__: what version of ubuntu r u running? | 06:16 |
| dnivra | coz_, were you referring to the earlier command you gave? | 06:16 |
| wowoto | .. | 06:17 |
| coz_ | dnivra, yes hold on | 06:17 |
| dnivra | coz_, sure thing | 06:17 |
| joshua__ | Latest one. | 06:17 |
| coz_ | dnivra, ok take a look at this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshot1.png | 06:17 |
| fiber | hello... i just transfered my ubuntu install to another harddrive but now when i boot it says "grub harddisk failure". What i did (in order) was a) use cpio to make a direct copy of hd a to hd b b) installed grub on the other hd by doing "grub-install /dev/sdb" c) changed the uuid's in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst. did i miss anything? any ideas? | 06:18 |
| itsnotstalking | does anyone who uses firefox notice it dies for a few minutes sometimes, with no explanation | 06:18 |
| itsnotstalking | ? | 06:18 |
| itsnotstalking | i shoud just switch browsers | 06:18 |
| sepehr | joshua__: well ur out of luck since ati doesnt support the latest verion of xorg that ships with 9.10 so ur gona have to use the opensource drivers (they are actually better in every way except 3D) | 06:19 |
| coz_ | dnivra, when you use that dbus command I gave earlier it will also open the appearnace properties as root....then you click the "Customize" button and under the "Controls" tab just choose one of the gtk2 themes you want as your login screen colours | 06:19 |
| joshua__ | Hrm... Where would I find the open source driver? | 06:19 |
| dnivra | coz_, alright. going to do it, logout and log back in. hold on ok. | 06:19 |
| coz_ | dnivra, as you see on my screenshot | 06:19 |
| dnivra | coz_: crystal clear. let me try. | 06:19 |
| coz_ | dnivra, I chose balanzan as the gtk2 theme and again with that command the balanzan theme again | 06:19 |
| sepehr | joshua__: so if ur planing on same kind of gaming performance as with ati drivers well u could use an older version i guess however u still get some 3d (things like compiz should still work fine) | 06:20 |
| kmyst | fiber: unique approach, but why not just dd the drive? i haven't tried it precisely your way but it'd "seem" that you did what i would have done...harddisk failure is all it says? | 06:20 |
| dnivra | coz_: you changed the theme as root and also as the normal user? | 06:20 |
| xiong | kmyst, The real name of the thing *may* be 'indicator-applet-session'. | 06:20 |
| joshua__ | I'm not planning on doing massive gaming, but one of the java games I play crashes because there is no driver for the GPU. | 06:20 |
| shawn146 | hello | 06:21 |
| coz_ | dnivra, well choose as user the theme you want for your system but | 06:21 |
| sepehr | joshua__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the how to is pretty detailed just entering those lines into terminal should do it | 06:21 |
| joshua__ | I just need any driver that woiuld work with it. | 06:21 |
| kmyst | xiong: hey good to know if i ever upgrade! i use that applet like crazy | 06:21 |
| shawn146 | i am havign some trouble with ubuntu | 06:21 |
| fiber | kmyst: i didn't dd because the drives are different (one is 300GB the other is 1.5TB)... and all it says it HD failure right before getting to the menu, nothing else | 06:21 |
| dnivra | coz_, just thought I should tell you that the theme is what I chose earlier when I ran the command you gave me. | 06:21 |
| coz_ | dnivra, with that dbus command choose the theme you want as log in screen | 06:21 |
| xiong | kmyst, I have yet to restore it to panel. 'man' doesn't work. | 06:21 |
| joshua__ | So I just run all that stuff? | 06:21 |
| coz_ | dnivra, it should work well but I will try it again when you try once more and it doesn work | 06:21 |
| kmyst | fiber: yeah but you could dd then expand the partition to take up the extra space | 06:21 |
| sunil2 | the out put of "df -h" is | 06:21 |

| dnivra | coz_, yeah with the dbus command you gave me, the theme is another one - the one I chose before logout. I will do it once more sure. | 06:21 |
| coz_ | dnivra, then restart x | 06:22 |
| dnivra | coz_, be right back. | 06:22 |
| kmyst | fiber: tis what i did with my 160 to 500gb drive in the laptop | 06:22 |
| fiber | kmyst: i had thought about that... but in the end it's just as far out there as my approach! the UUID's would have had to be modified anyways right? | 06:22 |
| shawn146 | i am having problems with Xv under Karmic and i have an i915 as my gpu | 06:22 |
| squidly | happy new year | 06:22 |
| kmyst | xiong: huh...but that's what it's called now? | 06:23 |
| kmyst | fiber: actually come to thnk of it i didn't mod my uuid's | 06:23 |
| shawn146 | ? | 06:23 |
| shawn146 | can anybody help me? | 06:23 |
| mbb | looking for suggestions for a USB headset that will work, running Hardy. | 06:23 |
| joshua__ | sepehr: if I setup SSH access, would you be able to do it for me? | 06:23 |
| joshua__ | I'm not too good with this stuff. | 06:23 |
| sunil2 | my paste bin url is "http://paste.ubuntu.com/349823/" | 06:23 |
| wowoto | fiber: use /dev/sdaX instead of uuid | 06:23 |
| sunil2 | now tell me how to free up my disc space | 06:24 |
| dnivra | coz_, yeah it did change. but what if I want it to be like the ones i downloaded. think I should just install them as if they were normal themes and not login screen themes? | 06:24 |
| fiber | kmyst: strange... i was under the impression that UUID depended on the actual HD not the any modifiable data | 06:24 |
| kmyst | fiber: try specifying the /dev instead of using uuid's | 06:24 |
| shawn146 | hello? | 06:24 |
| fiber | wowoto: kmyst: where would you recommend I do this? | 06:24 |
| coz_ | dnivra, then you have to NOT download the gdm themes but instead a new gtk2 theme | 06:24 |
| ocTobafust | #msg | 06:24 |
| xiong | kmyst, Now I think I was wrong, sorry. I may be chasing a dead end. | 06:24 |
| wowoto | sunil2: 1 reinstall 2 mount a file to enlarge it | 06:24 |
| wowoto | fiber: maybe in : /etc/fstab | 06:25 |
| shawn146 | hello? | 06:25 |
| coz_ | dnivra, customization has been severly cut down with this new approach | 06:25 |
| coz_ | shawn146, are you trying to play videos? | 06:25 |
| fiber | wowoto: nah, it's not getting that far | 06:25 |
| kmyst | fiber: iirc i just went from a gutsy install, did the dd/resize then upgraded to hardy then intrepid and that was it | 06:25 |
| shawn146 | yes coz_ | 06:25 |
| coz_ | shawn146, which player are you using? | 06:25 |
| dnivra | coz_, let me try one more of those so called "gdm" themes. | 06:25 |
| fiber | kmyst: i just may do that... luckily i still have the original | 06:25 |
| shawn146 | Totem | 06:25 |
| wowoto | fiber: o ,sorry.. | 06:25 |
| coz_ | dnivra, no no no no gdm themes will work anymore | 06:26 |
| shawn_ | I have two SATA hard drives plugged into an old MSI that has both IDE and SATA ports and it used to always ruN IDE but now I just plugged in two SATA drives but Ubuntu install CDs are not seeing them | 06:26 |
| emanux | Happy New Year to everyone :) | 06:26 |
| ocTobafust | --help | 06:26 |
| fiber | wowoto: no worries, thanks trying though | 06:26 |
| coz_ | dnivra, ONLY gtk2 themes | 06:26 |
| kmyst | fiber: in the fstab and most likely grub's menu.lst | 06:26 |
| emanux | has anyone try google chrome? | 06:26 |
| shawn_ | emanux, You too | 06:26 |
| dnivra | coz_, so is it possible to install the gdm themes as gtk2 themes? some workaround? | 06:26 |
| kmyst | xiong: well if you figure it out let me know | 06:26 |
| coz_ | emanux, I use chromium here | 06:26 |
| shawn146 | coz? | 06:26 |
| dnivra | coz_, I'll check it out and see if it's possible to pass of a gdm as a gtk2. | 06:27 |
| fiber | kmyst: ok, i may have found some other clue... when trying to grub-install it again i get "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." | 06:27 |
| coz_ | dnivra, no not that I am aware of ...as I said customizatioin is severly limited on this new version | 06:27 |
| emanux | coz_: how was it? | 06:27 |
| xiong | kmyst, I'm thinking that a LTS is scheduled for April. | 06:27 |
| coz_ | emanux, its fast of course but I found a bug ..at least on this system..where full screen flash will not go fullscreen | 06:27 |
| kmyst | fiber: good clue | 06:27 |
| coz_ | emanux, but flash is working with it much much better than on firefox | 06:27 |
| dnivra | coz_, wish I'd stuck with Jaunty. First dsl didn't work and now customisation. just great. | 06:28 |
| xiong | kmyst, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-July/107765.html | 06:28 |
| coz_ | dnivra, yeah this new approach is very irritating to say the least but I dont think it is going to go back | 06:28 |
| shawn146 | testing | 06:28 |
| kmyst | xiong: well currently i'm out of luck with video if i upgrade again so i'm holding out trying to make something work on my spare drive before i commit full time | 06:28 |
| dnivra | coz_, yeah the gdm ones don't work. Damn the look so cool. wish they worked worked. | 06:28 |
| emanux | coz_, ic...it is not available in ubuntu repo right? | 06:28 |
| shawn146 | can anyone hear me? | 06:28 |
| coz_ | emanux, hold on I think I have the dep link | 06:28 |
| dnivra | coz_, no no no! man this is so irritating. Ubuntu's becoming restrictive like win is now. | 06:29 |
| knuck887 | ? f-spot crashes on start up. any suggestions on how to fix it | 06:29 |
| shawn146 | ... | 06:29 |
| coz_ | emanux, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main and deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 06:29 |
| dnivra | coz_, but yeah well it's still can do stuff win can't. but they're chopping everything down. | 06:29 |
| shawn146 | -e | 06:30 |
| kmyst | fiber: did you cpio /boot when you did all that? | 06:30 |
| coz_ | dnivra, well I believe there were valid reasons this occurred however irritiating it is :) | 06:30 |
| emanux | coz_ , thanks...i will give it a shot | 06:30 |
| shawn146 | can anybody help me with an Xv issue with karmi | 06:30 |
| shawn146 | *karmic | 06:30 |
| fiber | kmyst: yessir.... and stage1 is safe and in its correct place (/boot/grub/stage1) | 06:31 |
| dnivra | coz_, I guess so; people who make Ubuntu what it is; put a lot of thought. Gotta hand it to team Ubuntu. | 06:31 |
| coz_ | shawn146, you are trying to play videos correct? which player are you using ? totem.,.. mplayer...vlc? | 06:31 |
| kmyst | fiber: out of curiousity what options did you feed cpio? | 06:31 |
| shawn146 | yes i said totem | 06:31 |
| morphias | dnivra, you got to remember, that canocial tries to cater ubuntu to be useable by people "who just want their computer to work". somtimes they restrict things that they may perceive "unstable" :-P | 06:32 |
| * morphias wishes he could spell | 06:32 | |
| silv3r_m00n | is there any software using which I can use my ftp server as a online storage across computers.....similar to dropbox ? | 06:33 |
| dnivra | morphias: which of course is a large section of the people who want their computer to do so. Too few would like to crash their computers like we do right? | 06:33 |
| shawn146 | sorry coz_ i accidentally closed the terminal | 06:34 |
| shawn146 | i am a noob to ubuntu | 06:34 |
| wowoto | silv3r_m00n: can "vsftpd" do ? | 06:34 |
| coz_ | shawn146, no problem | 06:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | that's a ftp server I guess | 06:34 |
| raymond | Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I am unable to get my networking working between my home computers. I can "see" the other computers an the hub/modem (Netgear DG834GUv5 - Runs as samba server) on the network via Places>network but get an "unable to receive share list" error. I have installed Samba and also smb4k. I can also see the computers with that (And have set up (tried to) samba drives... | 06:35 |
| shawn146 | and i need to get this movie running before its too late tonight | 06:35 |
| raymond | ...which I can see, but I get an error 13 (Permission denied). These drives are NTFS (I've migrated from an XP Pro system) | 06:35 |
| silv3r_m00n | I need a tool which can turn my ftp space into a hardrive.....so that when someone else puts files there they get syncronised to a local folder automatically | 06:35 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, rsync | 06:35 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, or symlinks, I'm not sure which might work better | 06:35 |
| fiber | kmyst: i cannot find it... i found the exact command online on some blog | 06:35 |
| coz_ | shawn146, ok did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 06:35 |
| shawn146 | no wats that | 06:35 |
| morphias | dnivra, well i hardly know anything about computers other than what i read in readmes' and im sorry you experience lockups, but i haven't. | 06:36 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Are you looking for it to get syncronized automatically everytime a file is added? | 06:36 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: exactly | 06:36 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, symlinks | 06:36 |
| silv3r_m00n | something that a service called dropbox does | 06:36 |
| brianherman | ldap? | 06:36 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I am vaguely familiar with dropbox. Do you know what a symlink is? | 06:36 |
| kmyst | fiber: hmm well i suppose since the data is there the stumble point was installing grub as you said right? | 06:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: no I don't | 06:37 |
| fiber | kmyst: correct | 06:37 |
| dnivra | coz_, or anyone who does know; how do I revert to the old login screen? | 06:37 |
| sepehr | um im using Quassel IRC and just accidentally turned off the menu bar...how do i get it back | 06:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | brianherman: ldap | 06:37 |
| kmyst | fiber: what was the error? | 06:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | brianherman: has it a gui ? | 06:37 |
| coz_ | dnivra, same way just choose the original gtk2 theme | 06:37 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Alright, let me get things straight first so I can be of more help. You have an FTP server running on ubuntu right? And that server has some folder. Inside that folders are all the things shared correct? | 06:37 |
| Psinetic | ubuntu 9.10 64bit, how do i get a list of all the software i've installed? | 06:37 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: exactly | 06:38 |
| kmyst | Psinetic: like just the packages installed? | 06:38 |
| dnivra | coz_, yeah I know that; but any idea what is the default gtk2 theme? | 06:38 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, You have another folder that you want basically to be an exact copy of the ftp folder? | 06:38 |
| === rw is now known as rww | ||
| Psinetic | kmyst, i'm about to reinstall windows on here and use ubuntu on a VM and need to get a list of all the software i've installed so i can reinstall it later | 06:38 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: exactly | 06:38 |
| coz_ | dnivra, HumanLogin | 06:38 |
| dnivra | coz_, thanks. | 06:39 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, What is the name of the ftp folder and the other folder? | 06:39 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: and this folder must be syncronised across multiple computers | 06:39 |
| morphias | Psinetic, you can click APPLICATIONS -> UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER and after that loads use the drop box to "Installed packages" | 06:39 |
| RichardH | sliv3r_m00n rsync sound like what you need | 06:39 |
| coz_ | dnivra, no problem | 06:39 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: on server its pfiles and on local system it cud be a folder in the home of a user | 06:39 |
| slinkeey | Just stopped in to see how many people were not partying | 06:39 |
| slinkeey | hehee | 06:39 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, pause, the folders are on two different computers? | 06:39 |
| RichardH | well, there may be a problem if you sync to multiple computers | 06:39 |
| iOmlette | Everyone? :P | 06:39 |
| slinkeey | hehehe | 06:40 |
| kmyst | Psinetic: sudo dpkg --getselections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list should dump out everything into the file package_list and you could be able to cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install to rebuild the system | 06:40 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: the ftp is on my webhost .... and a folder on my pc , another pc , and another pc etc | 06:40 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: dpkg --get-selections > /path/selectionfile #This gets a list of all packages installed | 06:40 |
| dnivra | slinkeey: guess some have crossed over already to 2010 long ago. I did 12 hours ago. | 06:40 |
| kmyst | Psinetic: that's how i'd do it | 06:40 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: sudo dpkg --set-selections < /path/selectionfile && apt-get dselect-upgrade (This installs packages from an exported list | 06:40 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Is this webhost a personal computer in your home? All the pc's in question are ubuntu? | 06:41 |
| slinkeey | trueture | 06:41 |
| kmyst | Psinetic: i typo'd that's --get-selections not --getselections | 06:41 |
| slinkeey | well later all | 06:41 |
| Psinetic | uh, so which one do i do? :S | 06:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: webhost is on a web server.... and pcs are mix of windows and ubuntu | 06:41 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: Read the end comments in my replies | 06:41 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, The webhost is some remote server? You have what kind of access to it? Only ftp ? | 06:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | yah remote server..... I have the cpanel of it , ftp of it etc | 06:42 |
| Psinetic | ardchoille, how do i know where /path/selectionfile is? | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: you set that to whatever you want | 06:42 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, That is a toughie, so you want to sync a local folder with the ftp folder. Is that right? | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: it just dumps a list to that file | 06:42 |
| Psinetic | ah ok | 06:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: exactly | 06:42 |
| Psinetic | thanks ardchoille and kmyst | 06:42 |
| Psinetic | :) | 06:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | and it shud be automatic | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: but you have to use that same file when you install later | 06:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | may be a service needs to run on all computers to check for new files every now and he | 06:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | then* | 06:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | I just need a clone of dropbox ...using my own ftp space | 06:43 |
| sepehr | would any1 know how to get back the menu bar on kde apps after u accidentally hide it? | 06:43 |
| burzki | silv3r_m00n, no expert here, but could you set it up as couchdb? | 06:43 |
| dnivra | ardchoille: about that command; when I do it there are a few labelled "deinstall". will there be any consequences of those when I do reinstall the packages? | 06:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | couchdb ? | 06:43 |
| emanux | coz_, i just installed chromium and fire up youtube | 06:44 |
| ardchoille | dnivra: I've never had any problems with that command | 06:44 |
| emanux | when i hit full screen, it goes full screen | 06:44 |
| fiber | kmyst: ok, i'm gonna restart and test something.... brb | 06:44 |
| burzki | silv3r_m00n, couch database is what the ubuntuOne cload platform is based on, platform neutral | 06:44 |
| dnivra | ardchoille: alright; just clearing a doubt I had that's all. thanks. | 06:44 |
| kmyst | fiber: k good luck | 06:44 |
| coz_ | emanux, cool | 06:44 |
| emanux | yeah really cool, thanks | 06:45 |
| burzki | *cloud | 06:45 |
| ardchoille | dnivra: It should be ok, I got that command on the advice of veteran linux users | 06:45 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I am not aware of couchdb. It is tough to get things to automatically sync without more access to the ftp server. You could write a cron job that runs a script every hour or something. Then the script could check the ftp server and sync things for you on your network. but instant updates is hard without access to the server. | 06:45 |
| dnivra | ardchoille: oh cool! I was told to use the one I said from this very channel. so was wondering if there's any difference between the two. | 06:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | there is access to server .... ?? | 06:46 |
| ardchoille | dnivra: What was yours again? | 06:46 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Can you write a script to run on the server? What OS is the server running? | 06:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | centos | 06:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | I can run cronjob on server | 06:46 |
| burzki | silv3r_m00n, http://couchdb.apache.org/ | 06:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | I don't think the server needs anything.... there needs to be a local utility on all pcs | 06:47 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n what edbian is saying is that you will probably need root access to install or configure stuff | 06:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: on server or on local computers ? | 06:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | on local computers I have root on all | 06:47 |
| dnivra | ardchoille: sorry connection started lagging severely. it's "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall: | 06:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | and server is a remote ftp | 06:48 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I'm reading and thinking about how to do this | 06:48 |
| Psinetic | ardchoille, it keeps telling me it's a directory, what is the file extention i should use when exporting? | 06:48 |
| ardchoille | dnivra: hmm.. never seen or heard that one | 06:48 |
| alkisg | Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way? | 06:48 |
| ardchoille | Psinetic: you can use .txt | 06:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | I thot there must be some tools for this already on linux | 06:48 |
| Psinetic | k thanks | 06:48 |
| dnivra | ardchoille, same as yours except that the entries labelled "deinstall" aren't selected. | 06:48 |
| sabgenton | can i install ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso to usb? | 06:49 |
| sabgenton | image / whateverf | 06:49 |
| sabgenton | -f | 06:49 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, server. if you have something on each computer, all you may be able to do is run a program to connect to the server using ftp and then download the files. The problem is when the same file gets edited on more than one computer. You will not be able to merge the change data | 06:49 |
| dnivra | ardchoille, if you've uninstalled a lot of apps, then try the command out and diff it with "sudo dpkg --get-selections" | 06:49 |
| c3101 | !usb-creator-gtk @sabgenton | 06:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | merging is not necessary.......a file may be locked or overwritten....thats totally fine | 06:49 |
| RichardH | the issue is that the server only gives you ftp access (port 21). So, your solution isn't to sync but to ftp files back and forth. | 06:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | neither wud there be any online editing as such | 06:50 |
| sabgenton | c3101: i am using that on windows | 06:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | yah | 06:50 |
| sabgenton | and it says md5sum fail | 06:50 |
| ardchoille | dnivra: Ah, ok | 06:50 |
| c3101 | sabgenton, then your download of the iso was not succesfull | 06:50 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, RichardH The tough part is having the computer re-sync everytime the ftp folder is modified. | 06:50 |
| RichardH | I haven't seen any ftp software that will get changed files and then upload changes | 06:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | the thing is , every employee wud be given a folder and he must put all code and updates in his folder so that the box can view | 06:51 |
| RichardH | you will either get all the files or upload all files | 06:51 |
| silv3r_m00n | boss* | 06:51 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, You could very easily write a script that automatically mounts the ftp server, copies everything to a local folder, and unmounts and run it via 1 terminal command. | 06:51 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: and run that again and again ? | 06:51 |
| RichardH | is this code going to "run" on the server or is it only for sharing? | 06:51 |
| alkisg | rsync also works with tftp | 06:51 |
| alkisg | *ftp | 06:51 |
| silv3r_m00n | not on the server | 06:52 |
| Xfact | having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/ | 06:52 |
| silv3r_m00n | alkisg: I need a gui too | 06:52 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I'm assuming that the entire reason for syncing the files locally is so that you can work offline. If there is no need to unmount the ftp server then there is no need to copy everything locally. | 06:52 |
| Xfact | having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/ | 06:52 |
| RichardH | maybe you can see if your host can provide webdav. maybe this would help | 06:52 |
| ardchoille | !patience | Xfact | 06:52 |
| ubottu | Xfact: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 06:52 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, rsync will probably be used. | 06:52 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Simply have the people edit the files live on the ftp server... | 06:53 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: copying locally wud be really helpful if it wrks automatically in the background | 06:53 |
| sabgenton | c3101 no I check it against the digest file | 06:53 |
| silv3r_m00n | live editing not needed .... | 06:53 |
| === nikow_ is now known as nikow | ||
| Xfact | Ok oK I haven't felt ignored and repeated my question quickly...ddh! whats wrong? | 06:53 |
| sabgenton | where can I download the latest usb creater exe | 06:53 |
| RichardH | Maybe you can use one of the many web based collaboration software that you might be able to install on the server. This will also afford you the benefit of revisions | 06:54 |
| silv3r_m00n | they key thing is remote-to-local synchronisation shud be automatic | 06:54 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, So I'm an employee. I log into my linux computer and then I open my local file with all of the files from the ftp server in it. I make changes and changes all day. Add files delete them edit them whatever. Then at the end of the day I copy them all to the ftp server again? | 06:54 |
| sabgenton | I got the one i have off the ubuntu cd | 06:54 |
| sabgenton | desktop cd | 06:54 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: otherwise dropbox is the thing that I need | 06:54 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: yah | 06:55 |
| Xfact | actually I am in big problem...new in linux and I have no sound :( | 06:55 |
| sabgenton | c3101: oh is there a usb cd creator on the server iso? | 06:55 |
| Xfact | repeat:having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/ | 06:55 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, But if more than 1 employee does that then they will be overwriting each others changes when they write back to the ftp server. Unless they each have some small portion or something... | 06:55 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: and again .... this particular local folder has special powers....putting anything inside it automatically synchronises it with ftp serve | 06:55 |
| dnivra | !sound | Xfact | 06:56 |
| ubottu | Xfact: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:56 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: that's not an issue | 06:56 |
| dnivra | Xfact: read that in the mean time:). | 06:56 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, They will all be logged into the ftp server this entire time? | 06:56 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: I guess so | 06:56 |
| silv3r_m00n | a service in that taskbar | 06:56 |
| sabgenton | c3101: im using usb cd creator from the desktop cd to test the server iso | 06:56 |
| sabgenton | is that ok? | 06:56 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, I meant software that you can download and install on the server. Not a service like dropbox. But in this case, dropbox would probably be the easiest | 06:56 |
| sabgenton | to install the server iso i mean | 06:56 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Are you familiar with "mounting" | 06:56 |
| edbian | ? | 06:57 |
| Xfact | I have read everything...but my problem is different....so I added this paste bin note to show you guys.... | 06:57 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: yes .. ? | 06:57 |
| crash2108 | Good year , good fellows. I'm following http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html | 06:57 |
| silv3r_m00n | use fuse ? | 06:57 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I'm not very good with ftp servers but can't you mount the ftp server locally on each machine? | 06:57 |
| crash2108 | I got to restarting 'hal' and it tells me to use to 'service' command instead. I do, but nothing seems to happen. | 06:58 |
| joljam | I have a desktop connected to a wireless router thru an ethernet cable... I also have a wireless printer...how can I print wirelessly | 06:58 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Do you understand what I'm saying? | 06:58 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, fuse would require you to use smb which you do not have access to on the server. | 06:58 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: yes... I can ... but that has a little issue ......trying to edit over there...every time ctrl-s is pressed there will be a 1-5 sec delay | 06:58 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: in dropbox what happens...everything appears local....and seamlessly in the background the online storage gets updated gradually | 06:59 |
| RichardH | edbian, you can't mount because silv3r_m00n is using a server at a hosting company so only has ftp access not smb | 06:59 |
| alkisg | RichardH: he should be able to use gvfs to mount it | 06:59 |
| edbian | RichardH, So there's two issues | 06:59 |
| edbian | alkisg, Are you sure... He only has ftp access. I think you MUST use a web browser. Am I wrong? | 07:00 |
| alkisg | edbian: gvfs is when you try to visit an ftp site with nautilus | 07:00 |
| RichardH | edbian, alkisg says he should be able to use gvfs but I'm not familiar using this to mount an ftp folder. | 07:00 |
| alkisg | You see everything "locally" under ~/.gvfs | 07:00 |
| silv3r_m00n | mounting a ftp server as a drive and working in it works....but it still appears remote............the thing shud be that everything appears local and in the background remote synchronisation "keeps" working | 07:00 |
| silv3r_m00n | all day | 07:01 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, If you've got it mounted I suggest you make a hard symlink | 07:01 |
| crash2108 | My battery is really about to die. Does anyone have any insight into this? Usuually it's some small stupid thing. | 07:01 |
| silv3r_m00n | what is a hard symlink ? | 07:01 |
| rkj | is there a variant of the "ls" command that will just list the subdirectories in the current directory? | 07:01 |
| meway | ubuntu just logged me out for no reason any clue why I was in the middle of an important graphics developing...? | 07:01 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, A soft symlink is basically a shortcut in windows. I will explain how to make them. | 07:01 |
| silv3r_m00n | alkisg: I can see locally ? | 07:01 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I soft symlink is only a pointer | 07:01 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, the problem is that you need a program monitoring the shared folder constantly so this program/script knows when a file has been changed or added | 07:02 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, a hard symlink is an exact copy. It is like syncronizing two files or folders | 07:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: hmmm | 07:02 |
| edbian | RichardH, The hard symlink should do what he wants. | 07:02 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: there's no caching, so it's like you said, 3-5 secs delay every time you save somthing | 07:02 |
| RichardH | this may work on one machine but it will probably require a customized application for it to work the way you want | 07:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | what next ? | 07:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: will the hard symlink still give the effect of remote saving ? | 07:03 |
| rkj | bizarrely, the command "ls -d" hust lists a single directory "." - not too useful. | 07:03 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: I don't understand why rsync isn't what you want. | 07:03 |
| louis__ | 6th gen ipod with ubuntu anyone? | 07:03 |
| louis__ | ipod classic | 07:03 |
| RichardH | edbian, I think he's trying to avoid the delay he is going to experience. Some software (depending on what he is using) will not handle this properly and may crash or just have a really annoying freeze while it's saving. | 07:03 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Just try this "ln /path/to/ftp/ /path/to/local/folder" | 07:03 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: rsync "read" on login, and rsync "write" before logout. | 07:03 |
| rkj | louis_ I use gtkpod and it is great, not sure what gen my ipod is though. | 07:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: let me try | 07:04 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, what alkisg said also seems to solve the issue (although it isn't exactly what you wanted) | 07:04 |
| louis__ | rkj: i just bought the 160 GB classic under the impression that it would work cuz of something i read but its giving me troubles | 07:05 |
| alkisg | If you want to rsync periodically, you can also do that with a script... "rsync, sleep, rsync etc" | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | ln: accessing `ftp://www.site.com': No such file or directory | 07:05 |
| skyllo | editable file in the conky this line is not showing the host name, nothing appears there only Hostname: here and nothing appears. Anybody want to take a look at the source of conky? | 07:05 |

| silv3r_m00n | edbian: I got that when I entered that command | 07:05 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Do you not have the ftp server mounted? I thought you did? | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | no | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | how to mount ? | 07:05 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, What is it that gives the 3-5 second delay? | 07:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | Ctrl-S | 07:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | how to mount the ftp server ? | 07:06 |
| alkisg | Question: Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way? | 07:06 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest39212 | ||
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, I don't really know how. Never done it. alkisg RichardH How do you mount an ftp server? | 07:06 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: how to mount a ftp server ? | 07:07 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, How are you accessing your ftp server right now? | 07:07 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, browser? | 07:07 |
| silv3r_m00n | using a bookmark in konqueror | 07:07 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Oh this is on KDE! :) | 07:07 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Well I got good news. When you connect using that bookmark you are mounting :) | 07:08 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Connect now using the bookmark | 07:08 |
| silv3r_m00n | done | 07:08 |
| RichardH | I've never mounted an ftp server. I didn't think you could but alkisg said you could | 07:08 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Now figure out where you are in the filesystem | 07:08 |
| alkisg | RichardH: I think gvfs is gnome-specific. | 07:08 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Can you go up one level? | 07:08 |
| edbian | alkisg, I think so too but KDE should have an equivalent | 07:08 |
| edbian | alkisg, In any case sounds like he's got it mounted | 07:09 |
| RichardH | alkisg it is. | 07:09 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: I can see what I see daily ....the public_html , www, public_ftp folders | 07:09 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, The ftp server's files appear in a konqueror folder right? | 07:09 |
| Guest39212 | Hi All, | 07:09 |
| silv3r_m00n | yah | 07:09 |
| dnivra | coz_, small problem. sorry to bother you. the login screen's not changing back. I did it four times; once even with a restart. any ideas? | 07:09 |
| Guest39212 | Do anyone know ? | 07:09 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, so what path are you at? | 07:09 |
| Guest39212 | if we can do virtualization using VMWARE on UBUNTU ? | 07:09 |
| silv3r_m00n | ftp://www.site.com/ | 07:09 |
| coz_ | dnivra, mmm I will have to test this later then ...did you restart x? | 07:09 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, open another konqueror window and go to /media | 07:09 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Whats in /media?? | 07:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | only cdroms | 07:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | and floppies | 07:10 |
| dnivra | coz_, yeah killed Xorg and restarted the computer too | 07:10 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, ... not good. Maybe it isn't mounted :/ | 07:10 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, /mnt ?? | 07:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | yes it isn't | 07:10 |
| dnivra | coz_, I ran the command that you gave me and it's all set there; it's "Human Clearlooks" there but that's not what it shows. | 07:10 |
| coz_ | dnivra, mmm that's not right .... I will test this later.... I cant do it right now :( | 07:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | nothing in there | 07:11 |
| === skyllo is now known as ecart | ||
| dnivra | coz_, sure no problem. just tell me which app I have to reinstall or something like that to change it now. | 07:11 |
| ecart | . | 07:11 |
| silv3r_m00n | I think I need curlftpfs | 07:11 |
| coz_ | dnivra, reinstall? did you uninstall something? | 07:11 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Well you do have another option. Learn how to use rsync and simply rsync twice a day. You can even automate it to run as a script at startup and shutdown if you like. But I don't think there is anyway to automatically push those files | 07:11 |
| dnivra | coz_, no I didn't. just want to get the old login screen back. | 07:12 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, The curl thing could work. But I don't think it's going to automate anything for you :/ | 07:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | automatic pushing and pulling is what I need | 07:12 |
| RichardH | edbian, silv3r_m00n, to my knowledge, konqueror or nautilus won't mount an ftp folder. I've never seen any evidence of that. I may be wrong though. | 07:12 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, It is possible that there is a way. I surely don't know it though :( | 07:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | for e.g. I put the file in employee1 folder and by the time I reach his room ...the file there on is system | 07:12 |
| crawler | hi. my VNC server dies at least 3 or 4 times per day, and i have to restart it (using the command: x11vnc -safer -usepw -forever). is there a log file or some way to diagnose why this is happening? (i also asked this question in #xubuntu, but this channel seems more alive) | 07:12 |
| dnivra | coz_, you don't have to sit and figure it out; some configuration file is all that needs to be changed; which should with a reinstall of some app right? | 07:12 |
| coz_ | dnivra, that should be the one I mentioned HumanLogin | 07:13 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, You're trying to combine 2 things. An ftp server (that is remote) and all the functionality of a file server. | 07:13 |
| coz_ | dnivra, no there is nothing to reinstall if you use that dbus command and choose HumanLogin it should return to that login screen | 07:13 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: may be yes | 07:14 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Why do you need your files on a remote ftp server over the internet anyway? It seems to only be a hassle for you | 07:14 |
| dnivra | coz_, oh BTW I don't have a HumanLogin theme ok. I only have Human and HumanClearlooks. none of which work with the command you gave me. | 07:14 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: I haven't yet planned any local backup storage | 07:14 |
| coz_ | dnivra, was the origianl a very dark one? | 07:14 |
| silv3r_m00n | my webhosting ftp with 1 gb space wud be really useful if I can turn it into a dropbox | 07:14 |
| dnivra | the original login screen was the default one that you get on a fresh karmic install. | 07:15 |
| coz_ | dnivra, then HumanLogin is is that list you might have to scroll down to see it | 07:15 |

| zharkie | whats the offtopic ubuntu channel called? | 07:15 |
| Mutro | I have a question about WireShark, how come when I open it up it shows none of my interfaces? | 07:15 |
| rww | zharkie: #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | alkisg: ofcourse | 07:15 |
| rww | Mutro: because you're not running it with administrative privileges. run `gksudo wireshark` instead. | 07:16 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Well I suggest you set up a file server for your office. That will handle everybody working all day. At the end of the night have the file server automatically sync the files to the ftp server. I don't really see the need for instant backup but that's my opinion. | 07:16 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: it supports syncing... | 07:16 |
| dnivra | coz_, nope I only have Human and HumanClearlooks. | 07:16 |
| Mutro | rww, so I always have to run it as root? | 07:16 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Or ubuntu one! :) | 07:16 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, ha ha | 07:16 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, curlftpfs may work but not on the windows systems. One thing you should watch out for is that many hosting companies expressly state in their terms of service that you cannot use your ftp space as a storage medium. (I own and IT consulting company and we deal with hosting companies all the time.) | 07:16 |
| coz_ | dnivra, then something is messed up for sure this is ubuntu karmic correct? | 07:16 |
| rww | Mutro: if you want to capture from interfaces, yes | 07:16 |
| dnivra | yeah ubuntu karmic 9.10 | 07:16 |
| Mutro | rww, is there a way i can run it under my user and still get the interfaces? | 07:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: hmm | 07:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | ok I mounted ftp using curlftpfs | 07:17 |
| edbian | RichardH, What the hell else can you use an ftp server for besides file storage?? | 07:17 |
| rww | Mutro: probably, but the supported way of doing it is to run it as root. | 07:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | looks good but still the "remote" factor | 07:17 |
| kmyst | anybody use a keyfile to unlock luks encrypted paritions? | 07:17 |
| Mutro | rww: Ok. I'll try that | 07:17 |
| coz_ | dnivra, you might have to search gnome-look.org or one of the ubuntu sites for the HumanLogin gtk2 theme | 07:17 |
| dnivra | coz_, cool! thanks for all your help! | 07:18 |
| RichardH | edbian, on a hosting company, to upload your files for your website | 07:18 |
| silv3r_m00n | I followed the instructions on this page >> http://hartvig.de/2009/howto-mount-a-ftp-drive-in-ubuntu/ and I think adding the mount line somewhere wud do it everytime the pc starts | 07:18 |
| edbian | RichardH, OIC, I guess.... | 07:18 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, /etc/fstab is what mounts filesystems automatically. If you can mount it using the mount command this config file is what you're looking for. | 07:18 |
| RichardH | edbian, it's a hosting account which means that it's for hosting your website and email only. | 07:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | no its not mounted using the mount command but the curlftpfs command | 07:19 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, The best guide to anything ever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 07:19 |
| edbian | RichardH, I understand | 07:19 |
| Random832 | I get a strange icon with a tooltip referring to http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ | 07:19 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: mounting will *still* give you the same 3-5 secs delay | 07:19 |
| effendi- | happy new year, people in -07:00 | 07:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | alkisg: and Ctrl-s too | 07:20 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, the other issue you may run into is bandwidth. Even though some hosts give you unlimited bandwidth, it's not really unlimited. The only way you MAY not have issues is if you have a dedicated server and not a shared server. | 07:20 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: right, that's why I proposed Ubuntu one. | 07:20 |

| edbian | silv3r_m00n, In any sane sys admin's mind you would have a file server to handle of your work / file collaboration and you would do 1 backup a day to an offsite location (usually at night). Doing all of your work on a remote ftp server is wel... | 07:22 |
| ubuntunewbie | Thank you | 07:22 |

| sunil2 | please find solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/ | 07:22 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, also, what happens if your internet goes down or somehow your connection is interrupted? If you have open files, they might be corrupted. | 07:23 |
| edbian | sunil2, What program? | 07:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | that too won't be an issue | 07:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | edbian: I think I can write a script .................that will ..........keep an eye on a local folder...........synchronise it with remote every 1 minute........and keep and eye on the remote server ..........and do the same | 07:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | and let everything go on "locally" | 07:24 |
| sunil2 | did you find the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/ | 07:24 |
| edbian | sunil2, Yes | 07:24 |
| daedro | i accidentally recursively chmodded my www folder and i assume thats bad, so im trying to get it back to default -rw-x---- or something, and i read thats chmod -R 644 ./, works for 777, but 644 makes all files say "unknown type" and disappear | 07:24 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, A script can def. do that. It is not the best way to solve the problem though. I will (against better judgement) answer questions if you had any about writing such a script. | 07:24 |
| crawler | ubuntunewbie: patch the bird's kernel with the latest module neosporin3.2.4beta | 07:25 |
| alkisg | daedro: directories need 755, so you need to run 2 `find` commands (find -type d and find -type f -exec chmod...) | 07:25 |
| sunil2 | please tell me the solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/ | 07:25 |
| alkisg | sunil2: please stop it | 07:25 |
| silv3r_m00n | alkisg: yes | 07:25 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, one issue is that you may need root privileges on the server to install and run this script. | 07:25 |
| edbian | sunil2, My only guess: un-install and re-install the app. Do you know how to do that? | 07:26 |
| sunil2 | can you tell me? | 07:26 |
| daedro | alkisg: you the man, thanks ^^ | 07:26 |
| alkisg | daedro: got a script for it if you want | 07:26 |

| ubuntunewbie | crawler: i dont have neosporin antibiotic ointment | 07:27 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, here's another solution. do everything locally and maybe have a temporary server locally where a shared folder is mounted on each workstation. Then have this server use and backup program such as this http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/index.htm that supports ftp backups upload everything to your server. But, it's only one way. | 07:28 |
| sunil2 | can you modify "sudo apt-get install <programName>" for "office" | 07:28 |

| silv3r_m00n | is there a utility that can synchronise or merge 2 folders ... 1 ftp and 1 local ? | 07:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | may be the ftp folder will be mounted before that | 07:34 |
| edbian | silv3r_m00n, Probably rsync | 07:34 |

| lstarnes | edbian: openoffice, I think | 07:37 |
| sunil2 | yes the url is for installing office | 07:37 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, I don't think you can use rsync to sync to an ftp server. rsync is a different protocol and doesn't use the same commands. | 07:37 |
| RichardH | for ftp, you need to use GET and PUT commands. rsync doesn't do that | 07:38 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: I will just issue a command sync ftpfolder localfolder | 07:38 |
| shawn146 | coz | 07:38 |

| D-coy | xD | 07:39 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, what you might not understand is that ftp is a protocol. it uses certain commands. It's a way to connect in otherwords. rsync and ftp are two different protocols. you don't actuallly have access to a folder. everything goes through the ftp daemon then that daemon writes to the folder | 07:39 |
| daedro | is it normal to be unable to chmod a file as root thats under your regular user, and is 777 -rwxrwxrwx, and shows up with ls, command works on other files. just not ones in this specific subdirectory.. subdirectory is chmod 755 drwxr-xr-x | 07:40 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: hmm , fine | 07:40 |
| daedro | cant make it 644 like the rest | 07:40 |
| sangho_Geek2 | happy new year | 07:40 |
| ecart | How do I change the hostname of the machine? I tried to edit the file as gedit has more access denied. | 07:40 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, sharing a folder on a local computer and the ftp folder on your server are two completely different things. It's like someone speaking Russian is trying to talk to somone that speaks Chinese. | 07:40 |
| sunil2 | please find the url for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/ | 07:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm | 07:41 |
| edbian | ecart, You need to be root to edit system config files | 07:41 |
| edbian | ecart, "gksu gedit /etc/hostname" | 07:41 |
| RichardH | daedro, how are you trying to change the permission? | 07:41 |
| edbian | ecart, editing that file will make it change next time you boot. To make it change instantly "sudo hostname <newHostname>" | 07:42 |
| daedro | chmod 644 /home/daedro/lib/wordpress/wp-config/daedro.com.php | 07:42 |
| ecart | ok | 07:42 |
| ecart | worked | 07:42 |
| ecart | thanks | 07:42 |
| shawncm217 | does anyone know how to switch firefox from the ubuntu theme back to the default theme? | 07:42 |
| daedro | i can right click it, and do it manually, and it works. just not via command line | 07:42 |
| edbian | ecart, no problem :) | 07:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: ok , if I make 1 computer a server ......and I have root on all pcs ......what wud be the best way to get the dropbox effect ? | 07:43 |
| Circs | How do one open a folder as root | 07:43 |
| dibblego | why can't I read SD cards greater than 2GB? | 07:43 |
| sunil2 | please find the url for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/ | 07:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | means the home of all pcs are synchronised with the server | 07:43 |
| Circs | Or copy a folder as root | 07:43 |
| RichardH | daedro, that's strange. is it owned by your user? are you doing this as root? | 07:43 |
| daedro | yup and yup, its strange | 07:43 |
| edbian | RichardH: good luck answering that! | 07:44 |
| khelvan | Hi, I'm trying to use imagemagick to convert a bunch of .jpg files to .png - can someone help me with writing a bash script to do: convert x.jpg x.png (where x is a numerical value) | 07:44 |
| daedro | i can just do it manually and ignore it, i just wanted to learn what im doing wrong.. not be hand held by the UI | 07:44 |
| silv3r_m00n | no more ftp restriction in this case.... any daemon can run on the server computer | 07:45 |
| edbian | sunil2, The issue you're having is very very minor :) We just can't find the package name. Try using the add/remove program in the menu. Do you know what I'm talking about? | 07:45 |
| sunil2 | can you expand further? | 07:46 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, first, you probably can't with the software that normally comes on a typical linux installation. First, you will need something that continually monitors the folder. The only way I can think of this even coming close to that is a script that scans the folder every few seconds continually. Keep in mind that dropbox has custom software on the server and on your computer. it's not just a typical server | 07:46 |
| edbian | What do they call add/remove now guys? I'm not on an ubuntu box right now... | 07:46 |

| edbian | sunil2: Look for open office in the software center | 07:47 |
| edbian | ardchoille, Thanks | 07:47 |
| ardchoille | yw | 07:47 |
| RichardH | I've seen software that runs on a windows system that can "sync" but all it does is just run every few minutes. | 07:48 |
| mister_roboto | dropbox checks with the server every 30 seconds, i think | 07:48 |
| ardchoille | edbian: iirc, that started with karmic | 07:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | ya every few minutes also will do | 07:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | I need that for linux | 07:48 |
| Riddick | i am using ubuntu as a file server and i am trying to connect from osx. i can connect to the share fine but not write any files. any help would be appreciated. | 07:48 |
| edbian | ardchoille, I actually use debian now :) I stopped with ubuntu back at version 9.10 | 07:48 |
| sunil2 | where can i find software center?? | 07:48 |
| edbian | 8.10* | 07:48 |
| ardchoille | edbian: 9.10 is the current version | 07:48 |
| silv3r_m00n | sunil2: where did you find ubuntu ? | 07:48 |
| edbian | sunil2, In the menus buddy. You know Applications | 07:49 |
| goplexian | anyone know if there are any deb's for cabal/bluetile yet? | 07:49 |
| ardchoille | ah, ok | 07:49 |
| edbian | sunil2, places, admin | 07:49 |
| RichardH | I've been looking for something similar and can't find it. Windows has something built in that does that. Anyway, in the situation you stated, you can probably use rsync as long as you can mount the shared folder using smb | 07:49 |
| mister_roboto | silv3r_m00n: using rsync driven by cron works really well for that | 07:49 |
| mister_roboto | silv3r_m00n: someone else was asking about something similar earlier tonight | 07:49 |
| silv3r_m00n | mister_roboto: a tutorial or howto ? | 07:49 |
| mister_roboto | go to the rsync site and they have extensive tutorials and docs | 07:49 |
| sunil2 | how to open software center?? | 07:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | mister_roboto: fine | 07:50 |
| mister_roboto | silv3r_m00n: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ | 07:50 |
| edbian | sunil2, Did you find it in the menus? | 07:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | sunil2: how did you open this irc channel ? | 07:50 |
| RichardH | silv3r_m00n, actually, if you have the servers locally, you can probably just share a folder using smb. | 07:50 |
| silv3r_m00n | RichardH: yupp and what about the automatic background synchronisation | 07:51 |
| sunil2 | in add/remove under applications . am i correct? | 07:51 |
| edbian | sunil2, no offense but this is getting ridiculous | 07:51 |
| mister_roboto | RichardH: i thought he wanted to keep a sync'd copy of their home dirs? | 07:51 |
| edbian | sunil2, Yes! That's it you found it! :) | 07:51 |
| RichardH | you would probably need a cronjob to run every few seconds | 07:51 |
| edbian | sunil2, add/remove | 07:51 |

Because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file's or directory's absence is causing the problem? | 07:52 |
| mister_roboto | silv3r_m00n: one typical problem with people trying to use cron for the first time is relying on some environment to be set up. in your cron, use explicit pathnames for everything | 07:53 |
| meero | how to create user in chroot? | 07:53 |
| goplexian | anyone using bluetile here? | 07:53 |
| edbian | Riddick, Probably has to do with the file permissions. I've never done with with a mac :( I'm not sure how the hell permissions work with MAC | 07:54 |
| RichardH | silv3r_moon, here's one issue. You will either have a shared folder on each workstation that rsync will sync with 1 folder on the server, or you will have one folder on the server that will sync with one folder on each workstation which means rsync will run multiple times but that will be a problem syncing folders to each workstation. | 07:54 |
| RichardH | this gets confusing. | 07:54 |
| Riddick | edbian: its unix. the thing is my user id and group id are different. its 501 i tink for ubuntu but 1000 for the mac. or maybe its 1001. | 07:54 |
| ultrav1olet | what are flac123 alternatives? This package seems to be removed from repos | 07:55 |
| mister_roboto | zcat[1]: that's right. minute is the smallest granularity | 07:55 |
| edbian | Riddick, Make the file permissions of the file XX7 so that anybody can read write and execute anything in the folder | 07:55 |
| Riddick | even i have the same user on each box its just how it starts the numbering for user and groups | 07:55 |
| ardchoille | !info flac123 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | Package flac123 does not exist in karmic | 07:55 |
| edbian | Riddick, yeah, the numbering is what matters | 07:55 |
| ardchoille | !find flac | 07:55 |
| ubottu | Found: flac, libflac++-dev, libflac++6, libflac-dev, libflac-doc (and 5 others) | 07:55 |
| Riddick | edbian: you mean of the shared folder? | 07:55 |
| RichardH | zcat, sorry about that, yes 1 minute. thanks for reminding me. | 07:55 |
| ardchoille | ultrav1olet: ^^' | 07:56 |
| edbian | Riddick, "sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder/on/server" | 07:56 |

| meero | how to put user in chroot ? | 07:56 |
| ardchoille | edbian: does he need that to be recursive? | 07:56 |

| Riddick | i will figure it out eventually :) | 07:56 |
| edbian | ardchoille, I don't think so... | 07:56 |
| edbian | ultrav1olet, Wrong person | 07:56 |
| ultrav1olet | I mean I have no desire to unpack flac files then play 'em | 07:56 |

| omar | i got tricks for cs2 | 08:20 |
| ubuntunewbie | usunbut 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ? | 08:20 |
| omar | are the cs4 ones diffrent? | 08:20 |
| holloh | sunil2: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 08:20 |
| ubuntunewbie | testing with 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ? | 08:20 |
| Dezine | omar, you probably don't want to hear this but have you tried GIMP? As a Windows user I have found GIMP to be a worthy replacement of Photoshop. | 08:20 |
| skyllo | holloh | 08:20 |
| skyllo | ok. More how to test the drivers in ubuntu? has some terminal command that does this? | 08:20 |
| omar | i now | 08:20 |
| omar | i just wanted to say | 08:20 |
| RichardH | omar, does that mean that...uuuhhhh...you didn't buy photoshop? | 08:20 |
| omar | I GOT PHOTOSHOP | 08:20 |
| FloodBot1 | omar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:20 |
| holloh | skyllo: i don't know | 08:20 |
| skyllo | ;/ | 08:21 |
| ae86-drifter | Dezine, do you know the name of that gimp mod that makes it look like PS? | 08:21 |
| omar | no | 08:21 |
| omar | i didnt buy | 08:21 |
| Dezine | Hmm, ae86-drifter I don't know unless you mean gimpshop | 08:21 |
| omar | i just want ps cs2 and i just need a nice key :) | 08:21 |
| Athar | How can you make the icons for the locations in Dolphin smaller? Apparently, it remains unimpressed when I change the icon/preview size for the "icons" view. | 08:21 |
| Circs | If I have a about 15 fsck0000.rec files on my sd card does that mean it is dieing? | 08:21 |
| ae86-drifter | nice key? lol.. u mean instructions? | 08:22 |
| RichardH | omar, then you will still have the same issues in linux as in Windows. I don't think anyone here will help with a bootlegged copy of software. Maybe I'm wrong. | 08:22 |
| Dezine | omar, I don't think anyone here will help you with illegally obtained software | 08:22 |
| kinja-sheep | omar: Need? You mean you want? Not need? | 08:22 |
| omar | i thought runing ps on ubuntu needed like a special key | 08:22 |
| RichardH | omar, if you didn't buy the software, it's stolen. software needs a key that you get when you buy the software. | 08:23 |
| kinja-sheep | !piracy | omar | 08:23 |
| ubottu | omar: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 08:23 |
| ae86-drifter | can someone please tell me how i can roll back my kernel upgrade, bootin from a live cd | 08:23 |
| Dezine | Just use GIMP, it's not as hard as PS users act. Sure, there's a learning curve but it is doable | 08:23 |
| Guest11434 | Does anyone here play World of Warcraft on Linux? | 08:23 |
| Dezine | I do Guest11434 | 08:24 |
| RichardH | omar, if you "get" a car but didn't pay for it and the legal owner didn't give it to you, then...uuuhhh...you get the picture. | 08:24 |
| omar | omfg | 08:24 |
| omar | pirate bay its ma place dude | 08:24 |
| omar | :( | 08:24 |
| xiong | RichardH, Are you pretty solid on wine? After the karmic upgrade, I'm having some trouble with it -- seems previously installed apps won't run with it now. | 08:24 |
| ae86-drifter | ps cost about $1000 i think | 08:24 |
| Guest11434 | No, I'm not looking for a WoW discussion, merely help in getting it running in Wine | 08:25 |
| RichardH | xiong, sorry, I haven't had time to play with wine in a long time. | 08:25 |
| morphias | Guest11434, i got WoW to run in wine before when i was playing it | 08:25 |
| Dezine | Guest11434, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 08:25 |
| morphias | its pretty simple. | 08:25 |
| xiong | RichardH, Okay, thanks just the same. Not a high priority for me today. | 08:25 |
| === tato is now known as tato42 | ||
| morphias | but i learned that if you have a old intel card, it craps out in linux (no opengl 2.0 support). works better in windows. | 08:26 |
| ae86-drifter | what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off at the login shell | 08:26 |
| Dezine | I have an GeForce 5900 and it runs pretty well | 08:26 |
| morphias | i envy you Dezine :-P | 08:27 |
| Dezine | This setup is about 5 years old | 08:27 |
| morphias | however that a desktop? | 08:27 |
| Dezine | I also have a 9600 but the mobo fried :| | 08:27 |
| RichardH | omar, no offense, but most "techie" type people look down on piracy. Once reason is that many of them may be programmers themselves. It's usually (not always) the wannabe's that "need" this type of software. The rest of us can find free, open source equivalents and can learn to use them to accomplish what we need. | 08:27 |
| Dezine | Yes | 08:27 |
| Guest11434 | Thanks Dezine, I was using that earlier today. I created a launcher script with the help from this site http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/How-to-Setup-World-of-Warcraft-on-Linux.html and when I try to get WoW to play my screen goes black and the gauntlet-cursor loads, but nothing else happens. | 08:27 |
| morphias | ya. i was talking down the lines about older dell laptops | 08:27 |
| Dezine | What care do you have Guest11434? | 08:28 |
| Dezine | card* | 08:28 |
| morphias | X3100 (opengl 1.5) | 08:28 |
| Guest11434 | HD 4670 | 08:28 |
| ircuser | I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it? | 08:28 |
| ae86-drifter | what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off repeatedly at the login: shell | 08:28 |
| RichardH | ae86-drifter, is this windows or linux? | 08:28 |
| Dezine | Guest11434, do you have drivers installed? | 08:29 |
| ae86-drifter | RichardH, it is ubuntu 9.10 server ed | 08:29 |
| Guest11434 | Yeah I do | 08:29 |
| Dezine | hmm | 08:29 |
| morphias | Dezine, that would work on his laptop after he has catalyst properly installed ;) | 08:29 |
| morphias | i mean desktop lol | 08:29 |
| RichardH | ae86-drifter, is it the command line login to the gui? | 08:29 |
| Guest11434 | Actually... I might not come to think of it. Allow me to explain. | 08:30 |
| ae86-drifter | RichardH, the screen goes black and flickers on every couple of seconds, and no, server ed doesnt have a gui | 08:30 |
| Dezine | Guess I don't know, I never had issues so never had to troubleshoot | 08:30 |
| omar | im not a wanabe or none | 08:30 |
| omar | i just want to use ps and learn how to use it | 08:30 |
| ae86-drifter | its just where it normally boots to.... the login prompt... | 08:30 |
| morphias | omar, pm | 08:30 |
| Dezine | omar, then buy it. | 08:30 |
| Tm_T | omar: sorry, no support for pirated software, nor discussion, thanks | 08:30 |
| Dezine | Or, learn GIMP, which is free and legally available. | 08:30 |
| itsnotstalking | gimp is pretty good | 08:31 |
| Guest11434 | This isn't actually my computer I'm installing it on. I'm installing it for my mother. On my computer I can see ATI catalyst control center under Applications since I installed my drivers. I don't see that under Applications on my mother's computer so they may not have actually installed. | 08:31 |
| Dezine | Seems odd to use an open source os like Ubuntu and then come into the official chat asking how to use pirated software | 08:31 |
| itsnotstalking | im not sure it support vectoring? which i dont know how to do anyways | 08:31 |
| Guest11434 | Unless 4670s don't have catalyst centers for some reason. | 08:32 |
| Dezine | Yeah itsnotstalking, but inkscape is pretty good for vector | 08:32 |
| xdrr | With bind9 in the forward lookup zone do you need to enter the FQDN for the NS entry? | 08:32 |
| Guest11434 | Our Brands are different too. I have Sapphire, she has XFX. | 08:32 |
| itsnotstalking | Dezine, good to know! | 08:32 |
| Dezine | np | 08:32 |
| RichardH | ae86-drifter, I would have to say it's the monitor. At least start there. At that login prompt, there's just basic text so I don't think it's the graphics card. | 08:32 |
| Circs | Not to be obnoxious, but I'll ask again. Does finding a bunch (15 or so) of file fragments left over from fsck bode poorly for the health of the drive involved? | 08:32 |
| itsnotstalking | yeah, open source people hate pirating, bill gates loves it tho, so go nutz | 08:32 |
| RichardH | omar, you can download a trial and use that. | 08:33 |
| Dezine | omar has made his gracious exit lol | 08:33 |
| ae86-drifter | RichardH, i have used a monitor from a pc that works fine, as i dont normally plug a screen into the server | 08:33 |
| aaron11 | Hello Im having a problem with my laptop. There is a white line comming straight downwards and its a BIG problem, this seems to happen even before booting. Im googleing like a mad man but some people say its an hardware fault. I just added some poison (Anti-Cocoroach) to the area where the computer needs cooling because cocoroaches will get in and spoil it anyway :). Im running Karmic Koala. | 08:33 |
| Dezine | itsnotstalking, have you ever been on http://www.osalt.com/? Has a good list of Open Source alternatives. | 08:34 |
| RichardH | ae86-drifter, what video card is in the system? | 08:34 |
| Guest11434 | Well I suppose I'll try installing the drivers again. Maybe there was a problem last time. | 08:34 |
| Circs | aaron11, Definitely H/W | 08:34 |
| morphias | aaron11, liquids dont work with electronics | 08:34 |
| ae86-drifter | RichardH, the server has all brand new hardware, i think it maybe to do with an update or something i installed, do u know how i could roll back the kernel? i cannot get shell access and also lost SSH access, it is using the onboard video card, its all brand new and was working fine when i first installed the OS | 08:34 |
| itsnotstalking | Dezine, no but i just book marked it, i usually use google | 08:34 |
| an0nmat1r | aaron11: white line before booting? | 08:34 |
| Dezine | Yeah Google is pretty good, which is probably where I found that | 08:35 |
| aaron11 | morphias: For your information its chalk | 08:35 |
| xdrr | aaron11, i had a similar case but more lines. if the laptop is old check for an old internal modem (worked for me) | 08:35 |
| aaron11 | an0nmat1r: Yes. Strait in the middle | 08:35 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: Almost only 1 yr old | 08:35 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron11: Take a screenshot. That way we know it's not hardware problem .:o | 08:36 |
| istvan | ether[Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. B/C) Cardbus Fast Ethernet Adapter] | 08:36 |
| aaron11 | kinja-sheep: Your smart! Good idea | 08:36 |

| RichardH | ae86-drifter, oh, so you don't even get to the login prompt. are the lights on the keyboard flashing signaling a kernel crash? | 08:36 |
| xdrr | aaron11: does it work with any other OS?, or appear during POST? | 08:36 |
| morphias | RichardH, show <ae86-drifter> how to change the kernel from a recovery cd - if you find it before i do | 08:37 |
| ircuser | I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it? | 08:37 |
| RichardH | ae86-drifter, sorry, I'm not at home. Everyone wants to go to sleep so I need to go. Sorry | 08:37 |
| ae86-drifter | RichardH, it actually boots a live CD fine, i do not really want to have to reinstall the OS, the kernel loads up and samba loads and everything its just flickering like crazy and i lose keyboard input and SSH | 08:37 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: I only have Ubuntu as an Operating System | 08:37 |
| Dhuski | aaron11, if the line appears before booting, that is to say before there is any electrcal current running through it, then there is definitely a hardware problem. | 08:37 |
| Dhuski | aaron11, if you access cmos does it still give you the white line? | 08:38 |
| morphias | <ae86-drifter>, there is a way to mount your installation from a live cd | 08:38 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest8965 | ||
| aaron11 | Dhuski: Whats a cmos | 08:39 |
| morphias | from there, if you older kernels are still left in the installation, you can change GRUB to boot an older version | 08:39 |
| kinja-sheep | ircuser: "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager" and edit the ALT+F2 thingy. It is in there. | 08:39 |
| ae86-drifter | morphias, yeah i understand i can do that, but then how would i roll my previous upgrade back | 08:39 |
| xdrr | aaron11: if you are able to, shut it down (or force shut it down) then when it boots and possibly displays a logo see if it appears there | 08:39 |
| aaron11 | kinja-sheep: http://imagebin.org/77793 I dont know if its there | 08:39 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron11: Hardware Problem. I don't see a line. :O | 08:40 |
| ae86-drifter | morphias, i think it may have caused it, but im not sure as it hasnt been rebooted for weeks, then booted up like this one day | 08:40 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: What computer do you have | 08:40 |
| xdrr | aaron11: The one that was having the problem was a toshiba satellite laptop | 08:41 |
| ae86-drifter | morphias, So after booting a live CD what would you suggest i do then? | 08:41 |
| skyllo | voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu? | 08:41 |
| morphias | do you know how to mount filesystems? or should i pull that up for you? | 08:41 |
| morphias | ae86-drifter, ~ | 08:42 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: "TOSHIBA: Leading Inovation" thats the first thing that happens when you startup. In the same way my white line is comming during that point | 08:42 |
| morphias | aaron11, check your spec manual and see about looking at the connections for the display (seems bios related? ) | 08:44 |
| xdrr | aaron11: if the line appears at the moment your screen is turned on e.g. it beeps and displays the logo then i would look at something hardware related, e.g. modem, bad gfx connector etc | 08:44 |
| skyllo | voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: Could it be because I applied Poison | 08:44 |
| xdrr | aaron11: note sure what you mean by poison? | 08:46 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: Anti-Cocoroach chalk | 08:47 |
| aaron11 | xdrr: I applied it to the machine | 08:47 |
| xdrr | aaron11: LOL, that might just do it | 08:48 |

| blackest_knight | sunil2: you could install puppy or dsl in 2.6 gb | 09:22 |
| lstarnes | fahadmoideen: we're obviously going to recommend ubuntu | 09:22 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: repartition | 09:22 |

| sunil2 | puppy or dsl?????? | 09:22 |
| Vituz | urgh I can't get my crappy video card working properly since I upgraded to 9.10 :\ | 09:22 |
| lstarnes | fahadmoideen: I meant to say that they're usually called (gnu/)linux distributions rather than (gnu/)linux operating systems | 09:23 |
| sunil2 | if i repartion my xp also will be erased.is it so????? | 09:23 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: they're different distributions of linux | 09:23 |
| unkmar | lstarnes: I don't recommend any particular flavor. I have my reasons for ME not liking some of them. But each has its own uses and feel. | 09:23 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: if you have a good partition editor, it can resize partitions | 09:23 |
| blackest_knight | sunil2 get the gparted live cd from source forge boot from it and resize partitions (best way as mounted file systems can't be resized) | 09:23 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: without erasing them | 09:23 |
| Vituz | can anyone give me a hand with some xorg/ati problems... | 09:23 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: but you need to defragment windows's partition before trying to resize it | 09:24 |
| manco | Vituz whats d pblm? | 09:24 |
| Vituz | can't get my ati rage (mach64) card to work the way it did before the upgrade | 09:24 |
| unkmar | sunil2: it is generally suggested to backup all data before any action is taken. one very crude method is usind dd. | 09:24 |
| sunil2 | how to get the gparted live cd????? | 09:24 |
| Vituz | not entirely sure how I got it working before | 09:24 |
| manco | uwhat upgrade? | 09:24 |
| Vituz | 9.10 | 09:24 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: search google for "gparted livecd download" | 09:24 |
| manco | hmmm | 09:24 |
| Vituz | all my attempts at changing xorg is coming up nil | 09:24 |
| unkmar | sunil2: there are better clone methods available. | 09:24 |
| blackest_knight | sunil2: ever heard of google? | 09:24 |
| manco | how did u install the driver | 09:24 |
| Vituz | seems like I'm doing nothing | 09:24 |
| manco | it was working before? | 09:25 |
| Vituz | didn't install a driver.. although I did try to apt-get xorg-server-mach64 (or whatever it was) | 09:25 |
| sunil2 | do you mean to re-install my ubuntu once again????? | 09:25 |
| Vituz | well I was able to use mplayer full screen before | 09:25 |
| Vituz | now I can't | 09:25 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: no | 09:25 |
| manco | hmmm | 09:25 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: you might want to if you can't resize your ubuntu partition | 09:25 |
| Vituz | and forced to use x11 just to get a vid at all | 09:25 |
| manco | well updating ubuntu always causes problems | 09:25 |
| Vituz | but now its forced the sized of the encoding no bigger | 09:25 |
| Vituz | yah I know :) | 09:26 |
| manco | with the drivers | 09:26 |
| unkmar | Vituz: I generally state, switch to nvidia, life is easier. Then follow with, you are likely using a laptop and don't have an option. :/ | 09:26 |
| manco | reyea nvidia is better | 09:26 |
| Vituz | yah but this beast is old... I just use it as a backup server + videos | 09:26 |

| manco | reinstall driver thats the soluiton | 09:26 |
| petsounds | how can i adjust webcam brightness? what software i should use? | 09:26 |
| Vituz | gforce 9800 in this one | 09:26 |
| manco | ati & gforce? | 09:27 |
| Vituz | so just reinstall the xorg? | 09:27 |
| Vituz | 2 sep computers | 09:27 |
| unkmar | sunil2: generally, gparted will refuse to resize a windows/NTFS partition if it has not been cleanly unmounted. Translation, Running chkdsk /f and doing a proper windows shutdown. | 09:27 |
| morphias | however sunil2, you can resize partitions by using a live cd with ubuntu | 09:27 |
| manco | yes the ati driver | 09:27 |
| Vituz | main pc nvidia.. sep fileserver/videos is the ati.. | 09:27 |
| manco | uninstall the current driver | 09:27 |
| manco | well i have only one pc | 09:27 |
| unkmar | My adobe flash audio is broken. Help? | 09:27 |
| manco | andonno how to sync 2 | 09:28 |
| Vituz | I have a couple here... but only 2 with monitors at my desk | 09:28 |
| sunil2 | i am having ubuntu-9.04 version cd | 09:28 |
| morphias | unkmar, 32 bit or 64 bit? | 09:28 |
| blackest_knight | unkmar: have you rebooted ? | 09:28 |
| baz | hello, my new years resolution is to amass power, can someone make me an op pls. thank you | 09:28 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: I have to reboot? crud. | 09:28 |
| Vituz | crap already almost 5am... gotta jet.. thanks for pointing me in a diff direction | 09:28 |
| lstarnes | baz: you won't be made an op hehre if you ask | 09:28 |
| manco | cya | 09:28 |
| Vituz | cya later and happy new years :) | 09:28 |
| baz | lstarnes, how come | 09:28 |
| manco | happy new year | 09:28 |
| sunil2 | is resize partions possible with ubuntu 9.04 version cd???? | 09:29 |
| unkmar | morphias: probably 32bit despite my CPU being 64 capable. | 09:29 |
| morphias | sunil2, if thats a ubuntu 9.04 live cd, do a live boot, and open partition editor (system -> administartion -> partition) | 09:29 |
| lstarnes | baz: because being an op is seen as a huge responsibility | 09:29 |
| blackest_knight | baz: shame to have failed so early in the year ;) | 09:29 |
| lstarnes | baz: not an object of power | 09:29 |
| kapu | why is ubuntu generally used as a derogatory term in the OpenBSD community? i.e. "don't ask questions here, go use Ubuntu" | 09:29 |
| baz | blackest_knight, i have 364 days before i fail | 09:29 |
| manco | wvdial error - A modem hung up the phone (exit code =16) anyone know what is d pblm? | 09:30 |
| lstarnes | kapu: because it is one of the most frequent choices for beginning *nix users | 09:30 |
| kapu | o | 09:30 |
| sunil2 | how to know whether my ubuntu 9.04 version cd is live cd or not | 09:30 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: my audio works. my flash audio does not. My system had been rebooted many times since the original flash audio failure. so if you were expecting the usual, reboot magic to work. Not gonna work this time. :( | 09:30 |
| blackest_knight | unkmar: i'm not saying you can't get flash audio working again without rebooting but it does seem to restore it most of the time | 09:30 |
| manco | sunil2 boot it up | 09:30 |
| manco | u will know | 09:30 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: if it has a desktop environment, it is live | 09:30 |
| blackest_knight | unkmar do you have vlc ? | 09:31 |
| baz | lstarnes, so what can i do to prove that if i were bestowed the power i wouldn't simply ban everyone in the channel because i could? | 09:31 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: yes. | 09:31 |
| morphias | sunil2, the live cd will ask if you want to use the it as a live cd versus just installating it | 09:31 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: and it plays audio just fine. | 09:31 |
| lstarnes | baz: you have already declared that your intention is to amass power | 09:31 |
| lstarnes | baz: that alone is grounds for dismissal | 09:32 |
| baz | lstarnes, yes this is true, go on | 09:32 |
| baz | lstarnes, oh really | 09:32 |
| sunil2 | once i boot from cd i have observed the following options 1.try ubuntu without changing your system.2.install ubuntu3.memory checkup | 09:32 |
| manco | yea its a live cd | 09:32 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: I recently has decided to learn to program flash. Downloaded the adobe flex stuff and went through some .deb installs and such. | 09:32 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: my flash audio stopped immediately after that. | 09:32 |
| blackest_knight | unkmar try this go to youtube and pick a video it will download it to /tmp copy it out of there and play it with vlc if you have audio its a firefox issue | 09:32 |
| manco | sunil2: the first option | 09:32 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: pick the first | 09:33 |
| baz | lstarnes, so what can i say to trick the ops into giving me power? | 09:33 |
| lstarnes | baz: nothing | 09:33 |
| sunil2 | then how to proceed? | 09:33 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: once it finishes loading, go to System > Administration and look for the partition editor | 09:34 |
| manco | just click on it | 09:34 |
| baz | lstarnes, i dont understand, then how does anyone become an op | 09:34 |
| lstarnes | baz: it varies from channel to channel | 09:34 |
| hellyeah | hey | 09:34 |
| hellyeah | http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8577/screenshotkk.png | 09:34 |
| hellyeah | what is reason of this bad view | 09:34 |
| sunil2 | then | 09:35 |
| baz | lstarnes, what if i help lots of people here? | 09:35 |
| lstarnes | baz: but it usually depends on who the ops think would be best based on helpfulness, personality, judgement, and ability to handle various situations | 09:35 |
| lstarnes | baz: also, this is starting to get off-topic. I think we need to move this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:35 |
| hellyeah | hey | 09:35 |
| hellyeah | some look pls | 09:35 |
| baz | lstarnes, thats profiling | 09:35 |
| blackest_knight | unkmar it usually is a firefox issue (although recently the flash installer tends to work you might have a couple of flash versions on your system now thou which might have upset things) | 09:35 |
| hellyeah | http://img189.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img189/8577/screenshotkk.png | 09:35 |
| lstarnes | hellyeah: I saw but I can't figure out a cause or a fix | 09:36 |
| sunil2 | after opening partion editor how to proceed???? | 09:36 |
| hellyeah | sometimes i have worse eivw | 09:36 |
| baz | lstarnes, are u an op? | 09:36 |
| hellyeah | all view mess sometimes | 09:36 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: I would love to cleanse it of ALL flash and then reinstall it. | 09:36 |
| baz | /isop lstarnes | 09:36 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: I forget exactly how to use gparted | 09:37 |
| lstarnes | sunil2: but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out | 09:37 |

| manco | ae86-drifter: thanks a lot | 09:39 |

| Corbin | hi... uh... anyone want to answer a BCD/GRUB question? | 09:40 |
| hellyeah | using gparted is very easy | 09:40 |
| Corbin | trying to use BCD as my bootloader... can BCD load grub? | 09:40 |
| lstarnes | Corbin: yes, but you might want to use a tool such as EasyBCD to configure that | 09:40 |
| Corbin | yeah, i tried that | 09:41 |
| Corbin | i think the problem is that grub is not installing correctly | 09:41 |
| Corbin | when i do the ubuntu installer | 09:41 |
| Corbin | im doing a custom partition setup | 09:41 |
| manco | Corbin: What is BCD? | 09:41 |
| baz | blackest_knight, hehe | 09:41 |
| unkmar | blackest_knight: vlc was very unhappy with the swf I downloaded | 09:41 |
| Corbin | BCD is the windows bootloader fromVista onwards | 09:41 |
| manco | Corbin: oh i see | 09:41 |
| Corbin | but im putting grub on a logical partition inside an extended one | 09:42 |
| Corbin | is that ok? | 09:42 |
| Corbin | and if it is ok, any ideas why grub wouldn't install? | 09:42 |
| lstarnes | Corbin: it worked when I did it | 09:42 |
| Corbin | like /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt exist | 09:42 |
| Corbin | and /boot/grub/setup1 isnt there... and so on | 09:42 |

| Jad-J | hello I want to share my internet connection from my laptop (ubuntu) to my pc (archlinux) I've tried the ubunutu tutorials but they didn't work can anyone help me? | 10:19 |
| advil0-netbook | i installed 9.10 via Wubi on my HP Mini 311, and when i boot it, it installs like I expect it to, but when i reboot after it completes, it acts as though it's the first boot still | 10:19 |
| advil0-netbook | it installs over and over again | 10:19 |
| blackest_knight | jad-j did you enable ip4 forwarding in /etc/sys-ctrl.conf | 10:19 |
| disappearedng | Hey my mysql is messed up, then when I do a complete removal, it says that it will uninstall like 400mb of applications, how do I just single handedly uninstall mysql and use a lower version (5.0) per say | 10:19 |
| mancos | Hi | 10:20 |
| Jad-J | blackest_knight: no.. wait I'm searching how | 10:20 |
| blackest_knight | jad-j i could perhaps give you a useful script | 10:21 |
| PsyCl0ne | Hi all would anyone happen to be on this early in the morning? | 10:21 |
| Jad-J | blackest_knight: why does it need a script:| | 10:21 |
| tech_ | hello | 10:22 |
| tech_ | any one in here | 10:22 |
| Jad-J | tech_: ask | 10:22 |
| PsyCl0ne | Would anyone know why on my ubuntu 9.10 desktop the screen randomly disappears? | 10:22 |
| Jad-J | PsyCl0ne: randomly disappears means changing to black? | 10:22 |
| advil0-netbook | too many people in here asking quesitons :P | 10:22 |
| Jad-J | for seconds.. then back to normal? | 10:23 |
| PsyCl0ne | Jad-J yes, everything will be shown then it will randomly go black | 10:23 |
| blackest_knight | well i use it to configure the ports currently my netbook uses mobile broadband and is connected by wifi to a router which uses the netbook as a gateway for my other pc's | 10:23 |
| advil0-netbook | @blackest_knight: any ideas on my issue? | 10:23 |
| Jad-J | PsyCl0ne: will go black.. for how much time? (for reboot..? or for seconds..) | 10:23 |
| randhol | blackest_knight, has only one PC, but a Philips dvd player could read it | 10:24 |
| PsyCl0ne | Jad-J its random, but I know after a reboot bios will show the checks and Illl see the ubuntu loading logo then itll go black but Ill still hear to boot up music | 10:24 |
| blackest_knight | advil0-netbook: never done anything with wubi , you could boot from the cd and do a standard install | 10:24 |
| advil0-netbook | can't boot from the CD, netbook | 10:25 |
| unkmar | advil0-netbook: do you have a desktop to create a bootable USB with? | 10:25 |
| blackest_knight | advil0-netbook: got a usb stick of 1gb or more ? see unetbootin | 10:25 |
| PsyCl0ne | Jad-J, it actually just started like 10 min ago, my dad was brousing the net and the screen went black | 10:25 |
| Jad-J | PsyCl0ne: describe more hte time of the black screen.. and when does it come back? (I want to know maybe it is a pc problem... not from the operating system) | 10:25 |
| advil0-netbook | yeah i might try that, not sure et | 10:25 |
| advil0-netbook | yet* | 10:25 |
| blackest_knight | randhol: is the disk finalized ? | 10:26 |
| PsyCl0ne | Jad-J kk so it just came back for about 30 seconds and itll be out for about 3-4 min | 10:26 |
| randhol | blackest_knight, he said brasero did finalise it | 10:26 |
| Jad-J | PsyCl0ne: laptop or pc...? do you have another operating system..? | 10:27 |
| randhol | blackest_knight, he lost net just now so I don't have dmesg errors, but are there any special things we can do to debug the problem? | 10:27 |
| PsyCl0ne | Jad-J PC, no its ubuntu only its an older computer but its been stable and reliable for quite a while now | 10:28 |
| nigtv | Hello, I was trying to burn a CD earlier today, so I popped in a blank and the whole system locked up, not even responding to sys req, so I restarted and now it says it cannot find the harddrive. I've checked the bios, changed the cable, checked the switches, among other things, and its not having any effect. I'm running 9.10 on a dell (dont know the model), and am not sure what to try next | 10:28 |
| blackest_knight | randhol: time to get googling i think | 10:28 |
| Jad-J | PsyCl0ne: oh okay... but it might be problem from the screen.. or maybe from the cables. you can try by changing screens.. or by installing another OS | 10:28 |
| Jad-J | so you could see the reason of the problem | 10:28 |
| nigtv | I've never had this problem not respond to the things I've tried, and I've never had this problem on this computer before. | 10:29 |
| randhol | blackest_knight, I am, but haven't found any useful things yet | 10:29 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: is the harddrive detected in the bios ? | 10:29 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight to be honest I'm not sure how to check that, but it does spin up when I start the system. It's not doing anything differently than it usually does so I would assume so | 10:30 |
| === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib | ||
| nigtv | It's listed in the "system setup utility" | 10:31 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: spinning just says there is power to it , it should announce what drives it inds prior to reaching grub | 10:31 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight actually, I forgot I have that skipped, lemme go see if I can get it to come up, I totally spaced that lol | 10:32 |
| disappearedng_ | 10:33 | |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: sometimes a hdd can get messed up and need to run a self check , this can take ages (does the hdd light come on ?) | 10:33 |
| Xfact | anybody can tell me how to open .bin files? | 10:34 |
| Xfact | How to access .bin files? | 10:34 |
| iKernel | Xfact, chmod +x *.bin ./*.bin | 10:34 |
| randhol | blackest_knight, how can one finalize a written CD to really test if that is the problem | 10:34 |
| Xfact | iKernel: terminal saying 'permission denied' | 10:35 |
| blackest_knight | k3b has a menu option i think (disk info says something i think) | 10:35 |
| randhol | ok. will check | 10:35 |
| blackest_knight | sudo chmod +x *.bin ./*.bin | 10:36 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight yes it is detected, and it passes the "IDE drive diagnostics", the cd drive is also detected, HD as primary master and CD as primary slave | 10:36 |
| iKernel | Xfact, what blackest_knight said | 10:36 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv so whats the last thing it says | 10:37 |
| Xfact | iKernel: can you explain little more...I am totally new to linux... | 10:37 |
| nigtv | I'm not 100% sure what is going wrong, it doesn't even get to grub, It just comes up with "press f1 to retry boot, press f2 to run setup utility" | 10:37 |
| grawity | Xfact: you too - can you explain a little more about what are those .bin files you're trying to access? | 10:37 |
| iKernel | Xfact, no | 10:37 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv sata drive ? | 10:38 |
| blackest_knight | sometimes bin files are disc images | 10:38 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: i would try booting with a livecd | 10:39 |
| nigtv | IDE blackest_knight, I believe thats...sorry if I answered wrong heh. | 10:39 |
| Xfact | grawity: I am trying to open a JDK setup .bin file with terminal...but terminal saying 'permission denied' | 10:39 |
| sunil2 | how to use gparted????? | 10:39 |
| grawity | sunil2: 1) open gparted | 10:40 |
| blackest_knight | Xfact: its a lot easier to get it from the repository | 10:40 |
| Xfact | ohhh...ok | 10:40 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight I have, DSL and ubuntu, both seem to boot from the cd just fine, but both encounter weird issues, the ubuntu cd says it cannot find the drive, and the DSL freezes during the initial start up on almost every device that isnt skipped | 10:40 |
| grawity | Xfact: JDK should be in Ubuntu repositories. But if you want to install it from .bin anyway - go to terminal and use 'chmod +x' on that file. | 10:40 |
| sunil2 | i have opened the gparted. how to resize my partions | 10:41 |

| llutz | Xfact: yes, if rpm is installed | 10:41 |
| Ov3rf10w | Xfact, sudo apt-get install rpm | 10:42 |
| haresh | how to make my unbentu look like windows ? | 10:42 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight no, it errors when it is the bouncy loading bar stage before the growing loading bar phase, if that makes sense? | 10:42 |
| Xfact | ok thanks | 10:42 |
| Ov3rf10w | Xfact, rpm -Uvh file.rpm | 10:42 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: thats nasty | 10:42 |
| Xfact | ok....:) | 10:43 |

| blackest_knight | nigtv: can it boot cd with hdd disconnected ? | 10:44 |
| bazhang | Xfact, what rpm were you trying to convert | 10:44 |
| haresh | how can i install it | 10:45 |
| Xfact | realplayer setup | 10:45 |
| jussi01 | !rpm | 10:45 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 10:45 |
| nigtv | haresh just fyi btw for what its worth, during my quests to make it look like windows, its hard to get it to be convincing without using various images from windows, which are somewhat hard to find | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Xfact, no need for that | 10:45 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight no, it acts the exact same way | 10:45 |
| grawity | Xfact: Why in the world would you need RealPlayer these days... | 10:45 |
| blackest_knight | haresh: when you find it you will also find the instructions (extract and run the setup script) | 10:46 |
| Ov3rf10w | Xfact, download .deb http://www.real.com/linux?src=realhome_linux_bb_0_1_1_0_0_3_0&pcode=rn&opage=realhome_linux_bb | 10:46 |
| Xfact | just maybe realplayer sounds cool | 10:46 |
| haresh | after install i can deleat the files right | 10:46 |
| Xfact | thanks for link .deb available | 10:46 |
| Ov3rf10w | :) | 10:46 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight do you think its safe to assume that ubuntu probably wouldnt just randomly cause the machine to become unbootable entirely on its own? As in is it safe to assume its more likely that this is a hardware issue | 10:46 |
| bazhang | haresh, just generally drag the tar.gz to the theme manager | 10:47 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: can you try the hdd in another pc i think the controller may be fubared | 10:47 |
| Xfact | you guys are guiding me, I am new but not feeling alone in linux...thanks :) | 10:47 |
| haresh | i know i have installed it can i remove the installion files ? | 10:47 |
| bazhang | haresh, from your desktop? or wherever you downloaded them? | 10:48 |
| nigtv | blackest_knight yea, I'll try that tomorrow. It's a little labor intensive at 4AM :p | 10:48 |
| nigtv | oh well, thanks :D just wish i made more frequent backups lol. | 10:48 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: seems likely to me, you might be able to work round using a usb to ide converter cable if it is the ide port | 10:48 |

| blackest_knight | nigtv: the drive may be ok (it doesnt smell funny does it) but its very worrying that nothing boots (actually you may find the secondary ide controller is ok) | 10:50 |
| psycho_oreos | Xfact, don't know and somewhat doubtful | 10:51 |
| llutz | Xfact: as usbnet is installed, it should | 10:51 |
| nigtv | nah, its not smelly or loud. It seems to be fine, it passes the little system diagnostic test thing whatever thats worth heh | 10:51 |
| Xfact | us'usbnet' i have to install? | 10:51 |
| blackest_knight | nigtv: i think its probably hardware failure | 10:51 |
| llutz | Xfact: its a kernel-module, installed by default. | 10:51 |
| Xfact | ok | 10:52 |
| nigtv | hmm, maybe ill try putting another hd into the broken computer before putting the harddrive into a totally okay computer | 10:52 |
| nigtv | alrighty, bed time, therell be more time to pull my hair out tomorrow. Adios d00dz | 10:52 |

| jeffjeffdejeff | hi all. need some help with grub please. I have (had) a dual boot xp ubuntu setup. xp on one drive and ubuntu on another. after going through some menus after booting from an xp disk (won't bore you with the details as to why) my grub has disappeared and boots straight into xp every time. I'm currently using the live disc atm, and have tried restoring grub as per the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 11:31 |
| Cool_Nick | Simple question, whats the command to do a long format for ext4 on /dev/sdb1 (It is already formatted the quick way with a program, but I would like a long format to possibly find hidden errors on the new drive) | 11:31 |
| ziroday | !grub | jeffjeffdejeff instructions are here | 11:32 |
| ubottu | jeffjeffdejeff instructions are here: 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. | 11:32 |
| Cool_Nick | !format | Cool_Nick test | 11:33 |

| llutz | Cool_Nick: there's no short/long "formatting" | 11:33 |
| llutz | Cool_Nick: fsck/badblocks might what you're looking for | 11:33 |
| Cool_Nick | In windows theres teh optoin "Quick format", feels like I had that checked when I formatted with linux a minute ago | 11:34 |
| Cool_Nick | Program: Gnome partition editor | 11:34 |
| llutz | Cool_Nick: you were talking about ext4, that not a windows fs | 11:34 |
| Cool_Nick | llutz: I was defining what I was talking about with short/long formatting | 11:35 |
| Cool_Nick | but you are probably correct with doign a badblock search with fsck | 11:35 |
| llutz | Cool_Nick: and the answer still is: there's no short/long "formatting" for unix-fs | 11:35 |
| Cool_Nick | I didn't know that response was specifically for unix file systems...I figured you weren't understanding where I was coming from. | 11:36 |
| Cool_Nick | Thanks for the information | 11:36 |
| dnivra | I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties" and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/.

| jeffjeffdejeff | really am confused about the whole thing. | 11:40 |
| airtonix | jeffjeffdejeff, you installed windows after ubuntu ? | 11:40 |
| jeffjeffdejeff | airtonix: long story. windows was already installed ages ago on one disk. about a year later i installed ubuntu on another disk and could dual boot. yesterday i was trying to load new storage controller drivers for xp and somehow it's made grub disappear. | 11:42 |
| airtonix | jeffjeffdejeff, makes sense. windows needs to control the mbr to choose the device and partition it loads from, typical operation for installing *anything* in windows is to nuke everything and reboot | 11:43 |
| jeffjeffdejeff | just boots straight into xp now. i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22435 and it didn't work. :( | 11:43 |

| deviad | anyhow, you need to download your current kernel's sources | 12:35 |
| deviad | and also another thing I can't recall right now, where there are the headers... I guess kernel headers | 12:35 |
| kulight | there is a ppa with the driivers but the package wont install | 12:35 |
| deviad | mmmm | 12:35 |
| tonika | quit | 12:35 |
| deviad | A long time ago you needed to download kernel-sources and something like kernel-headers | 12:35 |
| Xfact | Openoffice is batter or Koffice suit (KDE)? | 12:36 |
| deviad | then you had to run a few dpkg commands to create the deb package out of the nvidia installer | 12:36 |
| deviad | you had to extract the contents of the installer to do this | 12:36 |
| deviad | then you just typed those commands which created a module to add to the kernel | 12:36 |
| deviad | this way whenever you wanted to undo what you did you just had to type apt-get remove name of the package | 12:37 |
| kulight | i know this things but its not relevant to my current problem | 12:37 |

| Xfact | ok I seen that for later versions of Ubuntu PPA providing many later versions of software...soif I add PPA link for later version of Ubuntu will it harm my system for version missmatch? (Like for Ubuntu 8.04,PPA of Ubuntu 9.04) | 12:41 |
| bazhang | kulight, please pastebin any errors and tell me exactly how you added the ppa | 12:41 |

| lilyshu | hiredgoon, sorry i forget to untick nick completion :-) | 12:42 |
| bazhang | Xfact, you dont want to mix versions. | 12:42 |
| jadakren | Xfact, it may or may not harm your system , but the software definitly can't be garunteed to work... | 12:42 |
| Xfact | I am trying to discover something new and batter but not as the rule... :) | 12:43 |
| kulight | bazhang sorry for the spam i think i added the repository via apt line (the gui way) | 12:43 |
| jadakren | kulight, where do you see information that nvidia 1.95 has a ppa ? | 12:43 |
| kulight | jadakren https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 12:44 |
| jadakren | kulight, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html (i only see 190.53 ... no 195 ) | 12:44 |
| jadakren | kulight, i don;t think that is a driver ppa | 12:44 |
| deviad | I see lots of improvements though in this Ubuntu... I'm beginning to think about installing it on my desktop: q9550, 4 GB ram, 1 TB HD and gtx 295... sounds fun. :D | 12:44 |
| kulight | jadakren it not a matter of thinking... | 12:45 |
| bazhang | kulight, that is for mplayer | 12:46 |
| jadakren | kulight, why does the offical nvidia page only have 190.53 then ? | 12:46 |
| kulight | jadakren how should i know | 12:46 |
| bazhang | kulight, those are not nvidia drivers | 12:47 |
| jadakren | kulight, ah i see now.. beta drivers | 12:47 |

| bqf | is there any reason for NOT using "do-release-upgrade -m desktop" for a 9.04->9.10 upgrade on a desktop system? (this is a very old computer, using the regular GUI for the upgrade slows it down by a few hours) | 12:47 |

| jeffjeffdejeff | now to sort out this bloody windows :( | 12:48 |
| bazhang | ah I see now | 12:48 |
| jadakren | jeffjeffdejeff, good stuff. | 12:48 |
| jadakren | bazhang, doesn;t help that the offical page doesn't mention they don't list beta drivers (or where to get them ) | 12:49 |

| deviad | If I open synaptics packet manager although I can run the updates... I'm worried to screw the propertary drivers though | 13:46 |

| morpheus | how to generate initrd 2.6.32.2 on 9.10? | 14:02 |
| viilips | theres no drivers i could choose to install | 14:02 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, then you may not have a driver for your card (no hardware acceleration) | 14:02 |
| mhall119 | erkan, what help do you need? | 14:02 |
| viilips | Yanick_ can i search for the driver somewhere else? | 14:03 |
| mhall119 | dnivra, what version of Ubuntu? | 14:03 |
| morpheus | how to generate initrd 2.6.32.2 on 9.10? | 14:03 |
| dnivra | mhall119, sorry forgot to mention that. I'm using karmic. | 14:04 |
| mhall119 | morpheus, mkinitramfs? | 14:04 |
| morpheus | yes, thanks | 14:04 |
| mhall119 | dnivra, Karmic has a new GDM, which handles themes differently | 14:04 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: maybe try the gnome art manager? | 14:04 |
| ChogyDan | nvm | 14:05 |
| mhall119 | viilips, Intel drivers are usually open sourced and available in the Linux kernel itself | 14:05 |

| erkan | My computer is Compaq Presario CQ61-110ED notebook pc and my VideoCard is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I have Ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop now. But a display for my laptop is black and I have connected a HDMI on the televison. Television work very good. But I want that my display for my laptop work. Where can I download a driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? I can not still found :( | 14:05 |
| viilips | mhall119, that means theres no way i can update them? | 14:05 |
| dnivra | mhall119, you mean that the gnome login screen themes used in jaunty don't work in karmic right? yeah i learnt that. but this is a gtk2 theme I'm referring to. sorry for not mentioning that. | 14:06 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, do you have the intel packages installed ? dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel | 14:06 |
| mhall119 | viilips, you can update it, but you probably have the latest available already | 14:06 |
| viilips | Yanick_, do i have to write command you gave me in the terminal? | 14:07 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: I tried the command and I get the io errors, but it looks like I can still edit the gdm theme | 14:07 |
| Yanick_ | yes | 14:07 |
| viilips | mhall119, could there be other reason why my ubuntu cant handle with flash games? | 14:07 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, precisely I got the same errors too. here's what I got. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. same I suppose? | 14:07 |
| mhall119 | viilips, reading google, it looks like maybe the intel drivers for that particular card are not so great | 14:08 |
| erkan | Can someone help me? | 14:08 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, yeah how do I do that. I'd like the old login screen (or at least a better looking one than current). | 14:08 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: I get the last two errors, and then the window opens. Your window doesnt open? | 14:08 |
| mhall119 | viilips, try this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011784 | 14:08 |

| ubottu | erkan: 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. :-) | 14:08 |
| viilips | Yanick_, yes | 14:09 |
| erkan | sorry ok ubottu | 14:09 |
| viilips | yanick_, after typing command you gave me, terminal responed: ii xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display d | 14:09 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, the gdm window does open alright. thing is I select the correct theme after it opens using "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties" and restart gdm. But well, it's still the old gtk2 theme! | 14:10 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, best part - the gtk2 theme used by gdm is no longer there in my system - i uninstalled it! | 14:10 |
| erkan | brb | 14:11 |
| axz | could someone please explain me this PulseAduio error? http://pastebin.com/m4c60c3db | 14:12 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, By gdm window I meant the theme select window(Appearance properties). | 14:12 |
| erkan | biw | 14:12 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, not sure how I can help any further | 14:12 |
| viilips | it means command you gave me doesnt work? | 14:13 |
| viilips | *yanick_ | 14:13 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, am again wrong - appearance preferences. sorry. but you should've figured it out by now. | 14:13 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: yeah, I don't really know. It might be easier to just back up and reinstall | 14:13 |
| mhall119 | viilips, read the link I posted | 14:13 |
| mhall119 | changing from EXA to XAA might help you | 14:13 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, no, it means that you have the necessary packages installed, and everything should be detected, but mhall119 may be unto something | 14:14 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, sure? this is like the third time I'm doing this! Are you sure there's no other way? | 14:14 |
| SickAnimations | wut | 14:14 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: what? Im not sure at all. But why spend so much time just trying to get back to the defaults? | 14:14 |

| mhall119 | or UXA, I switch my Intel card to use UXA and it was a huge performance boost | 14:15 |
| viilips | yanick_ ok, thank you this far. I'll try ti understand something from link mhall119 gave me | 14:15 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, anyway I can find which is the file/dir causing the I/O errors? Logs or something somewhere exist? | 14:15 |
| om26er | mhall119, did you try lucid? | 14:15 |
| om26er | *karmic? | 14:15 |
| erkan | ubottu: have you a busy? | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:16 |
| viilips | mhall119, how can i switch my intel card to use UXA? | 14:16 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: you may have better luck searching those errors on launchpad | 14:16 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, do you know the particular application at least that handles the login screen? maybe installing that will solve the problem? | 14:16 |
| * om26er karmic provides far better intel graphics support | 14:16 | |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: from what I could see, there is no application anymore. That's why you run that command | 14:16 |
| mhall119 | viilips, you'll have to edit your xorg.conf, google around for it | 14:17 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, i meant like gdm is part of some package(sorry for the win terminology) right? perhaps I'll try reinstalling that package? | 14:17 |

| Guest734 | Question: Anyone think they could help me try to get an old ES1869 ISA PNP sound card working under 8.10? | 14:19 |
| erkan | om26er: ? | 14:19 |
| dnivra | ChogyDan, thanks. will check it out. | 14:20 |
| erkan | do you know that? | 14:20 |
| om26er | erkan, what? | 14:20 |
| erkan | can you help me? | 14:20 |
| om26er | erkan, no | 14:20 |
| Guest734 | The card seems to be working. I can load the module for it and see it using "lspnp", but it's not recognized by the sound subsystem. | 14:20 |
| mhall119 | erkan, if nobody is answering, that means nobody knows the answer, sorry | 14:20 |
| viilips | mhall119, i'm having trouble with understanding anything in link you gave me also googling for UXA and xorg.conf didnt make anything clear for me .. i thought ubuntu is user friendly operating system :( | 14:20 |
| mhall119 | viilips, it usually is | 14:21 |
| Guest734 | erkan - What was your question? | 14:21 |

| dnivra | ChogyDan, I've got a gdm-themes package installed. is it enough if I reinstall that? Any ideas on this? | 14:21 |
| viilips | how is that? usually users doesnt have to update drivers themselves? | 14:21 |
| viilips | *mhall119 | 14:21 |
| mhall119 | no, they usually don't | 14:21 |
| mhall119 | drivers get updated by the system | 14:22 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, do you have MESA installed? | 14:22 |
| bonhoffer | i am trying to hook up my NAS -- how can I find it's ip? | 14:22 |
| mhall119 | you're trying to tweak your driver for additional pereformance | 14:22 |
| viilips | the only reason i want it do be done is i cant play flash games on my ubuntu :( | 14:22 |
| bonhoffer | maybe using nmap? | 14:22 |
| erkan | mhall119: :( | 14:22 |
| ChogyDan | dnivra: I suspect not. I don't have that myself | 14:22 |
| Guest734 | bonhoffer - try "ifconfig" | 14:22 |
| viilips | Yanick_, no, could it help in my situation? | 14:22 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, maybe.... | 14:22 |
| wookienz | when a nix terminal sessions sends a line feed, is it a reutnr, linefeed, carriage return? | 14:22 |

| mhall119 | wookienz, it's a newline, \n | 14:23 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, use Synaptic | 14:23 |
| wookienz | mhall119: thnaks | 14:23 |
| viilips | yanick_, where can i find synaptic? | 14:23 |
| erkan | Guest734: | 14:23 |

| mhall119 | erkan, has it ever used the laptop's display? | 14:24 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, select libgl1-mesa-glx | 14:24 |
| Guest734 | erkan - The Intel GMA support is pretty good under 9.10. Not sure why it wouldn't be working. | 14:25 |
| erkan | Do you understand my question, Guest734 ? | 14:25 |
| mhall119 | viilips, you can also try disabling desktop effects, that sometimes makes Flash run faster | 14:25 |
| Guest734 | erkan - You should have the appropriate driver already if you're using 9.10 -- it's not like Windows where you would need a separate driver download. | 14:25 |
| mhall119 | Guest734, it seems the 4500HD doesn't run so great | 14:25 |
| Guest734 | mhall119 - Oh. Didn't know that. | 14:25 |
| Guest734 | erkan -- Anyhow, if you're getting an image on your HDVI output, I'm guessing the card driver is OK. Something may be wrong with your config. | 14:26 |
| viilips | yanick_, it seems the libgl1-mesa-glx is already installed | 14:26 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, weird | 14:27 |
| viilips | yanick, the field is green where i can check them | 14:27 |
| Guest734 | erkan - If you reboot with the HDVI not connected, you just get a balck screen? | 14:27 |
| Guest734 | erkan - balck -> black | 14:27 |
| viilips | yanick_, i can only mark it for reinstallation | 14:27 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, are you confortable with the shell? | 14:28 |

| Dr_Willis | Xfact: there are some repos that have google earth in them. | 15:01 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, Windows overwrites the GRUB loader (embrace an expand :P) so you have to re-install grub from a live CD | 15:01 |
| mikobuntu | Xfact, did you get to permissions | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: there was no need to download the .bin by hand. | 15:01 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, Google that for more details | 15:01 |
| titanicheart | Yanick...can I get my previous UBUNTU 9.10 Back? | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: You can 'sh ./googleearth.bin' and run it - perhaps.. | 15:01 |
| Xfact | mikobuntu: sorry...i didn't understand your command totally I am in very beginner level in linux world :( | 15:02 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, unless you deleted the Ubuntu filesystem, yes | 15:02 |

| titanicheart | i need to run ubuntu 9.10 + vista side by side | 15:02 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, then you only need to re-install GRUB, not Ubuntu | 15:02 |
| ecart | Dr_Willis apparently nothing | 15:02 |
| titanicheart | Yanick_, how to re-install Grub? I have the CD...Will I be able to boot Vista After that? | 15:02 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, as a side note, ALWAYS install Windows first, then Linux | 15:03 |
| mikobuntu | xfact; select the .bin file, then do right click with mouse | 15:03 |
| Xfact | but last time it it accepting bin file in same way | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: the medibuntu repositories - contain googleearth as a package you can install. | 15:03 |
| titanicheart | Yanick_, I ll remember that, but what Can Be done Now | 15:03 |
| Xfact | mikobuntu:then.... | 15:03 |
| Yanick_ | titanicheart, Google "restore GRUB after installing Windows" | 15:03 |
| bazhang | Xfact, check out medibuntu.org for the .deb | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub | titanicheart | 15:03 |
| ubottu | titanicheart: 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. | 15:03 |
| ecart | just a minute | 15:03 |
| Yanick_ | Dr_Willis, heh I'll remember that line :) | 15:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Its odd the google repos.. dont have google earth.. but medibuntu repos do. | 15:04 |
| Xfact | I love .deb packages, very easy and automatic! | 15:04 |

| mikobuntu | xfact ; a menu will open and goto properties >permissions and click in the box "allow to run as program" or something to that effect | 15:04 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, oh, yeah, they changed that :) it's "sudo stop gdm" I think | 15:05 |

| Yanick_ | Dr_Willis, heh | 15:05 |
| Yanick_ | Dr_Willis, I always do "sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop" and it never complained :) | 15:05 |
| viilips | yanick_, should i try it again with "sudo stop gdm" ? the rest stays the same? | 15:06 |

| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu : Will try it then, brb with results | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | i00nsu: No idea on that. theres the apt-get -f (or was it -F) option that might fix things up. | 15:16 |

Can anyone explain this I would like to take inventory of what was done with the installer so i can do this manually ( which i was unsuccessful with ) | 15:22 |

| _raven_ | is there a channel for evolution? | 15:23 |
| _raven_ | ok tnx | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: a .bin is just a generic extension. basically meaning 'you need to run this installer' Its best to run them by hand from the terminal. You never know if one is goign to have a CLI only installer interface, or a gui, or whate exactluy it will do. | 15:23 |
| viilips | Yanick_, thank you for your time, i'll try ti see can i gan any help at the site you gave me | 15:23 |

| bazhang | _raven_, /msg alis list *evolution* | 15:24 |
| hikenboot | mhall119, whatever the installer is using apparently its not the same as I was using I use random key for swap and a key for temp | 15:24 |
| Yanick_ | viilips, no problem. Good luck! | 15:24 |
| _raven_ | bazhang, ok tnx | 15:24 |
| plitter | dath: just start new conversation choose the sip provider and call | 15:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: and in fact there are .bin files that are NOT executable/installers. Its a very generic extension that means very little. | 15:24 |
| _raven_ | no chan.... | 15:24 |
| mhall119 | .bin usually just means it's a binary file | 15:24 |
| mikobuntu | madcat1990, pastebin gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf | 15:24 |
| Xfact | that means I don't need to do it...right...? | 15:25 |
| Xfact | okey | 15:25 |
| aeon-ltd | _raven_: whats your problem with evolution? | 15:25 |
| * Dr_Willis thins people that use .bin fir an extension need tobe slapped.. | 15:25 | |

| mikobuntu | madcat1990, it is recommended on the forums 5 and 25 | 15:32 |
| jarray52 | Xfact: Yes | 15:32 |
| Xfact | oops! | 15:32 |
| mhall119 | Xfact, it's your GUI session | 15:32 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, i believe just like the way you typed it, append it prior to the -- also grub lines used to have maximum chars, so am not sure if the new can handle long grub options | 15:32 |
| Xfact | ooh...then not that harmful | 15:32 |
| akos_ | Hello! I have just installed 9.10, but I have been having this issue beforehand. When my computer boots (it's set to automatically log in, i don't want no password to be asked for), it asks for my account password to access the default keyring which is needed to connect to my wifi network... Can't access to the default keyring be granted by default to the network manager? | 15:32 |
| jarray52 | nizzan01: I can't figure out where to type it. | 15:33 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: put in a blank password | 15:33 |
| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu : and what if this doesn't solve the problem? Is there a way to change the sound samples? It may be the problem <<... It sounds as if it is being recorded at a different sample rate as the output one | 15:33 |
| mhall119 | akos_, you should be able to have it remember the password, so you only need to enter it the first time | 15:33 |
| Peteris | Hi, how can I remove xubuntu (xfce) from my ubuntu installation? | 15:33 |

| akos_ | ChogyDan, mhall119, i have to enter it on every reboot... where can I change settings for the keyring, to try what chogydan said? | 15:34 |
| coz_ | akos_, I believe there is a way to stop that | 15:34 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, it has an equivalent.. hang on.. | 15:34 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, ? | 15:34 |
| Peteris | mhall119: what's that? | 15:34 |
| mobius2 | greetins | 15:34 |
| mhall119 | Peteris, xubuntu-desktop is a meta package | 15:34 |
| nizzan01 | info menu.lst | 15:34 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: Apps > Access> Passwords... | 15:34 |
| mhall119 | meaning it only serves to install dependencies | 15:34 |
| coz_ | akos_, by deleting the keyring, ~/.gnome2/keyrings, restarting, and entering a blank keyring password next time you save a password. | 15:34 |
| nizzan01 | !info menu.lst | 15:35 |
| ubottu | Package menu.lst does not exist in karmic | 15:35 |

| coz_ | akos_, or look here http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ | 15:35 |

| mobius2 | does anyone know the entry syntax for checking the weather in fort collins colorado from the terminal in 'weather-util'? | 15:35 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: then right click, and change password | 15:35 |
| mobius2 | I can get Denver | 15:35 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, ah got it... it was in systems -> preferences -> keyrings last time i checked :) | 15:35 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, someone here will let us know what 9.10 uses instead of menu.lst | 15:35 |
| Peteris | mhall119: ah, OK, thanks, I'll try that out | 15:35 |
| mikobuntu | madcat1990, i see you are using speex-float-10 that may be too high of a quality for your chipset | 15:35 |
| mhall119 | mobius2, did you man weather-util? | 15:35 |
| coz_ | akos_, here is another article about that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484918 | 15:35 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: no, what I just said actually. That one does something different | 15:35 |

| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu : I tried speex-fixed-1 too | 15:37 |
| Xfact | But my NVIDIA installer saying: "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing." is it talking about 'X session manager" or how it's possible to deactivate it? | 15:37 |

| nizzan01 | jarray52, all i/o does from wifi to cdrom drive to usb to bluetooth | 15:39 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, did you get my description about the evolution problem? | 15:39 |
| bazhang | Xfact, that is not the supported method, you need to install from the package manager | 15:39 |
| CUALL | ‘how can I change my nickneme？ | 15:39 |
| coz_ | Xfact, first thing to do is sudo apt-get install build-essential | 15:39 |

| llutz | CUALL: /nick newnick | 15:39 |
| madcat1990 | @CUALL : /nick <nicknamehere> | 15:39 |
| ChogyDan | coz_: on that post, the last comment gives the same instructions I figured out. So it must have changed for karmic | 15:39 |
| CUALL | llutz: thx | 15:39 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, yes, do you have pop3 set to leave messages on the server? | 15:39 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, but it is low level, you may want to look at hal and udev on how they handle these | 15:39 |
| coz_ | ChogyDan, ok thanks | 15:39 |
| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu: brb then | 15:39 |
| mikobuntu | ok | 15:40 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, no they should be deletet after downloading and this worked until yet - this error started as evolution again created hundreds of INBOX(hex) folders | 15:40 |
| coz_ | Xfact, also use my nick if you want to talk to me it is coz_ | 15:40 |
| Xfact | bazhang: yes I know...but Hardy only supports 169.o2 of Nvidia that's too old, I've got the latest version from nvidia's website and trying to install it ... | 15:40 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, that's odd, I've had my share of problems with Evolution, but never that | 15:40 |
| spunk | Hello, I've installed the recommended nVidia proprietary drivers in 9.10. But all colors are wrong. Any ideas? | 15:40 |
| jarray52 | nizzan01: Is there documentation for hal and udev somewhere? | 15:40 |
| coz_ | Xfact, your approach will not work | 15:40 |
| coz_ | Xfact, please first thing is to sudo apt-get install build-essential | 15:40 |
| coz_ | Xfact, let me know when that is installed | 15:41 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, do you have a webmail interface you can use to access the pop3 account? | 15:41 |
| sacarlson | OK I got my my Virtualbox upgraded but at the cost of a completed removal of the old package and delete or moved the files in my /home/user/.Virtual directory before I could get it to run. oh and had to reboot to get the application drop down to return. now it works but have to reinstall all the systems. But cool it works !!! | 15:41 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, there is, am not using my regular puter here.. so let me see if i can google for one | 15:41 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, yes but shall i every mail i get delete manually?? | 15:41 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, hmm that didn't work, nothing happened... also when I try changing the password, it asks for the old password... I can enter ANYTHING there, it doesn't say that it's incorrect... | 15:41 |
| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu : That only made it worse D: | 15:41 |
| hikenboot | other distributions like redhat /debian have ways of duplicating an install with partitions setup and installed packages and configs so you can dup a system..how is this done with ubuntu? | 15:41 |
| Xfact | coz_: again those codes.... :( ok fine... first easy programs then I will come back to this 'nvidia' thing.... | 15:42 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, just check the webmail to see if the messages you downloed in evolution are still on the server | 15:42 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, yes they are | 15:42 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: then maybe try the directions in that blog post | 15:42 |
| coz_ | Xfact, ok I am not sure what you mean.... which codes? | 15:42 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, that's very strange... | 15:42 |

| === CUALL is now known as cuall | ||
| Xfact | coz_: those 'sudo' get apt...' stuffs... confusing.... | 15:43 |
| mikobuntu | madcat1990, oh nooo , but at least we can see that the resample method has an effect on your mic, perhaps go through them all until it sounds best | 15:43 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, hmm ok... it's wierd though.. and there is a "login" keyring why doesn't network manager store it's key there?.... this is beyond me... | 15:43 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, did you install any new plugins for evolution or anything? | 15:43 |
| coz_ | Xfact, oh ok open a terminal | 15:43 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, am i the only one who feels like running windows - soon i'll have more problems to solve than i can spend time in working on any senseful thing | 15:43 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: oh yeah, are you doing it to the "default" keyring? | 15:43 |
| Xfact | coz_: then>? | 15:43 |
| coz_ | Xfact, in that terminal type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 15:43 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, no i did not | 15:43 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, yeah... that's what it wants to unlock | 15:43 |
| madcat1990 | @mikobuntu : hmm.. ok then, I'll be back with my results, Im gonna try from the lowest to highest, if it works, I'll keep you posted. | 15:43 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, to get the pass for the wifi | 15:43 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, are you new to Ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| mikobuntu | madcat1990, thanks | 15:44 |
| jarray52 | nizzan01: I can Google the other one myself. I truly appreciate the help. You helped me sort out a few things that I was confused about. | 15:44 |
| ChogyDan | akos_: so, when you entered a blank password, it doesnt give a warning about unsafe storage? | 15:44 |
| Xfact | coz_: something happening on my terminal....:-/ | 15:44 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, have you rebooted your machine since this started happening? | 15:44 |
| coz_ | Xfact, it should be happening yes :) | 15:44 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, no | 15:44 |
| nizzan01 | jarray52, am glad im able to point out lil things | 15:44 |
| akos_ | ChogyDan, if i enter a blank pass, it gives the warning, but if I enter a wrong password as the old password, it doesn't really care about it | 15:44 |
| coz_ | Xfact, tell when that is done | 15:44 |
| === Bell is now known as ThreeTwoOne | ||
| jarray52 | nizzan01: The lil things add up. | 15:44 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, from the CLI, run: evolution --force-shutdown | 15:44 |
| _raven_ | mhall119, no i am not new, no, reboot does not solve the problem | 15:45 |
| jarray52 | nizzan01: Did you ever fix your wireless problem? | 15:45 |
| mhall119 | oh, you have rebooted, nevermind | 15:45 |

| Xfact | coz_: yes | 15:47 |
| mhall119 | mine gt corrupt every few months or so | 15:47 |

| coz_ | Xfact, so you would have to go to system/administration/hardware drivers and disable that driver | 15:50 |

| Dr_Willis | Xfact: so the driver in the repos is not working? or are you just upgradeing it because you can? | 15:51 |

| coz_ | Dr_Willis, I was going to get to that part eventually :) | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: make a new user - see if the desktop works normally for them as a 'test' | 15:52 |
| Xfact | Dr_Willis: Existing driver is working fine...just privately trying to have the latest version...myself! | 15:52 |
| dath | hi | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: i wouldent bother. You could break things. | 15:52 |
| coz_ | Xfact, you have to understand that if you do install this manually you will have to reinstall it if any kernel or xorg update occure | 15:53 |
| dath | i don't see any updates more in update manager or synaptic. it downloads package information (42 files) but doesnt show updates :( | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: id spend the time reading up on bash/shell basics or other usefull things. :) | 15:53 |
| NamVet | Dr_Willis: Where might I find the instructs to create a new user? | 15:53 |
| coz_ | Xfact, oh well if the driver is working then keep it however I do install the current driver here myself all the time | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: sudo adduser bgates | 15:53 |

| coz_ | Xfact, no problem... as I said I dont use the drivers offered by ubuntu I only use the official drivers here | 15:55 |
| Xfact | what I should do...I am confuesd.... | 15:55 |
| Xfact | :-/totally lost | 15:55 |
| coz_ | Xfact, well ok here are the pros and cons | 15:55 |
| bazhang | Xfact, take a look at the guide book I linked you to | 15:55 |
| mhall119 | _raven_, right, but there are plenty of libraries for working with mbox files, you can probably write a quick perl or python script to do what you need | 15:55 |

| z3rongod | it just won't boot off of them | 17:02 |
| mka | z3rongod, how is that having to do with ubuntu because you have not installed ubuntu into your machine | 17:03 |

| AllHailTheGeek | Trying to mount my ubuntu drive in linux, most utilities will mount, but say "Drive is not formatted, format now?" in explorer | 17:03 |
| z3rongod | solaris: I do not know what that is | 17:03 |
| AllHailTheGeek | Any ideas? | 17:03 |
| [uNF] | solaris, that's the thing, I have no idea... it's happened like 3 times... all I really do is watch stuff on youtube, and I have a virtual box installed... | 17:03 |
| delltechie | usr13: is that the command i need to run to get them all ? | 17:03 |
| usr13 | delltechie: But... | 17:03 |
| Xfact | coz_ are you there? | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | AllHailTheGeek: you mean in WINDOWS it wants for format your linux drive? | 17:03 |

| z3rongod | solaris: I've tried booting from one HDD (the one that has sytstem reserved space partiton) and still can't boot | 17:03 |
| Jeruvy | z3rongod: sounds like you need to verify the boot partition is still in the right spot. Get your hands on BCDEdit and check it out. | 17:04 |
| z3rongod | mka: No | 17:04 |
| AllHailTheGeek | Dr_Willis, I just want to copy files over, from my linux parts. | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | AllHailTheGeek: Not all the windows utils can handle ext4, ive even had issues with ext2/3 tools in windows. | 17:04 |
| z3rongod | Jeruvy: Would it be easier to install windows again mirror it again? | 17:04 |
| AllHailTheGeek | Dr_Willis, my drive is ext3 | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | AllHailTheGeek: be safer to boot to linux and copy the files over. | 17:04 |
| z3rongod | As the HDD are breand new, no important data on them | 17:04 |
| ratonplayer | i would make a NTFS partition , for that | 17:04 |
| z3rongod | HDDs* | 17:04 |
| ratonplayer | you | 17:04 |
| mka | solaris, z3rongod 's MBR is definitely having windows' boot loader | 17:04 |
| solaris | [uNF]: That's nothing like the problem I've experienced. This might be a hardware error. Is the computer new? | 17:04 |
| Jeruvy | z3rongod: I'd find out what messed up so you don't repeat the problem | 17:04 |
| lwslws | AllHailTheGeek: you've tried etx2fsd / ext2ifs? | 17:04 |
| AllHailTheGeek | Meh, I was hoping not to need to do that, but meh. | 17:04 |

| usr13 | delltechie: Check this out first: http://demo.joomla.org/jumpbox.html | 17:05 |

| lwslws | as with all things in windows... try a reboot ;) | 17:06 |
| mka | Jeruvy, solaris, z3rongod, Dr_Willis, do you know a default filesystem type for windows 7, is it NTFS? | 17:06 |
| AllHailTheGeek | ha | 17:06 |
| usr13 | delltechie: If your end goal is to build a joomla page in order to upload to a production server, joomla jumpbox is for you. (Will be easier) | 17:06 |
| lwslws | mka : yes | 17:06 |
| AllHailTheGeek | stupid windoews. | 17:06 |

| delltechie | i ran apt-cache search apache and now get : in the terminal window | 17:06 |
| [uNF] | solaris, like there is nothing in there, is that fine? | 17:07 |
| Jeruvy | mka: yes it's ntfs still. | 17:07 |
| solaris | [uNF]: That file shouldn't be empty | 17:07 |
| z3rongod | mka: They are NTFS fromated | 17:07 |

| mka | z3rongod, there should be another reason, and it should be windows 7 problem then not ubuntu's | 17:08 |
| z3rongod | I don | 17:08 |
| z3rongod | I don't solely blame ubuntu | 17:08 |
| z3rongod | It's just that it didn't boot after i used it :) | 17:08 |
| mka | z3rongod, you don't even have to blame ubuntu | 17:09 |
| z3rongod | I'm sure it's windows fault saomewwhere | 17:09 |

| z3rongod | To be honest i detest windows but i need it | 17:09 |

| jimdandy | Yes, I plug it in and put in an Ubuntu Desktop cd, and it works. It chokes on the Alternate install cd, can't find the cdrom. | 17:19 |
| NamVet | solaris ty i'll give it a shot. have patience pz, old man pushing 70 new to ubuntu :) | 17:19 |
| jimdandy | I'll fiddle with the usb methods. | 17:19 |
| mka | NamVet, is that you, great | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: actually you dont want to remove the old user. | 17:20 |
| LucidPerry | jimdandy: Ah. That's strange. Try the USB method--I think it'll be much easier than attempting to troubleshoot the drive. | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: but you could clean out the oldbroken users configs and in theory that accoutn should start working right | 17:20 |
| mka | macman_, are you winning? | 17:20 |
| theTroy | I cannot find file .Xauthority. How to create one? (I mean, proper file, not just empty file) | 17:21 |
| macman_ | mka, ok one sec | 17:21 |
| lwslws | theTroy: you shouldn't need to? | 17:21 |
| usr13 | NamVet: Why did you to decide to ditch the original user? | 17:21 |
| theTroy | lwslws: I do need it. | 17:21 |
| NamVet | Dr_Willis thank you, w/ instruction its possible but you are dealing w/ a newb who is out of water laying in the sun gasping for air | 17:21 |
| macman_ | mka, im doing that command nomw | 17:22 |
| zuxw | is it possible to upgrade from 6.1 to 9.1 directly without going though all the iterations in between? | 17:22 |
| bazhang | zuxw, only with a fresh install | 17:22 |
| ctmjr | zuxw: no | 17:22 |
| theTroy | zuxw: its going to be easier to reinstall, at least as far as I could tell | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: only the first user has 'sudo' rights - so dont remove them. | 17:22 |
| zuxw | hm. ok | 17:22 |
| AllHailTheGeek | Well, ofc, rebooting solved the minor problem | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | usr13: his users configs are goofed up it seems. the new user was a 'test' to see if it worked with a newly made user. | 17:23 |
| lwslws | AllHailTheGeek: good to hear :) | 17:23 |
| delltechie | this command apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server does not work in ubuntu 9.10 i get the message The program 'apache2' can be found in the following packages: * apache2-mpm-event etc | 17:23 |
| AllHailTheGeek | fscking winblows | 17:23 |
| theTroy | zuxw: there are a few things that could aid you with it, such as iirc there was a program which would remember what packages you had installed | 17:23 |
| usr13 | NamVet: If you REALLY want to ditch the old user, you'll need to make some revisions to the /etc/group file first.... but as Dr_Willis suggests, it would be better to fix what you have, (old user). | 17:23 |

| lwslws | eep | 17:24 |
| usr13 | NamVet: No need to shut down, you can log out and log in as different user as many times as you like. Rebooting is not necessary. | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | NamVet: you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere, then login as that user. and it should 'reset' your gnome settings back to defauilts | 17:25 |

| DVA5912 | i did sudo adduser clint www-data... that should add me to the www-data group right? | 17:34 |
| lwslws | macman_: apart from that, try fsck'ing it, otherwise, give up | 17:34 |

| lwslws | ntr_: have you tried installing the NVidia drivers? | 17:39 |
| usr13 | DVA5912: I'm not understaning the situation completely, BUT, my advise is to create a user and symlink to the /var/www/htdocs/ or wherever and then when you ftp or ssh in as that user, you have full premissions to all that is there. Much easier. | 17:39 |
| Xfact | He left me helpless :( | 17:39 |
| ntr_ | lwslws, i remember when i first installed ubuntu, it asked if i wanted to install the nvidia drivers, but then it failed majorly after a reboot | 17:40 |

| ghostknife | so, assume i have somepackage-1.0. I get it's source and build somepackage-1.0.deb. Now package manager wants to update to somepackage-1.0 from the repositories. why is this? | 18:10 |
| mezquita | My computer doesn't shutdown | 18:10 |

| meero | mezquita: mine to, im leaving it on all the time | 18:10 |
| jeffjeffdejeff | dr_willis: yeah? i just run synaptic and search flash? | 18:11 |

| Gorlist | Evening, I was thinking on installing the latest Virtualbox to run windowsXP - what is the performance like? was hoping to run a 3d cad program (modo - uses opengl)) | 18:13 |
| meero | ghostknife: i created it by dchroot. i want to run there just rtorrent( low privilage user) | 18:13 |
| ntr_ | ctmjr, nope | 18:13 |
| jeffjeffdejeff | dr_willis: that's all i do? click on that link?! :o | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | jeffjeffdejeff: read the url perhaps? install the ubuntu-restricted-exras package also will proberly grab all the flash stuff you need. | 18:13 |
| ghostknife | meero: create the user outside chroot then. change to it, and run the chroot as this user | 18:13 |
| ctmjr | ntr_: are you using gnome? | 18:13 |
| mezquita | Stopping swap [ok] | 18:13 |
| ntr_ | yup | 18:13 |
| mezquita | and computer hang | 18:14 |
| paulus68_ | mka: that's what I think to so I would realy like to burn the new server iso and safe my config files for Ip tables and network configs and try again however would not like to get stuck in the process | 18:14 |
| mezquita | but i can restart it | 18:14 |
| ghostknife | mezquita: optionally you can copy /etc/passwd to the chroot, and delete all lines except for that user. this will help the command to resolve a UID to username | 18:14 |
| emachnic_ | Gorlist, depends on the computer. I've used VirtualBox on Linux with WinXP and at full screen, couldn't tell it was virtual | 18:14 |
| dinghy | tl, hm not really made it higher but bad quality? any more options ? :P | 18:14 |
| macman_ | hey all .. i want to mount an iso and then rip it using mplayer as a mpeg file .. is thi possible ? | 18:14 |
| macman_ | s/thi/this | 18:14 |
| Gorlist | emachnic_, ive got a pretty poky system with latest bits this summer | 18:14 |
| dinghy | why did they have too set the limit too 100 when i need like 200 :P | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | macman_: yes. should be possible. Theres proberly better tools to 'rip' it then mplayer | 18:15 |
| skeletal | guys, someone know some Neogeo emulator for Linux????????????/ | 18:15 |
| Gorlist | emachnic_, I might give it ago then | 18:15 |

| njn | ubottu: help | 18:15 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 18:15 |
| emachnic_ | Gorlist, should work well. Make sure to install the guest additions | 18:15 |
| skeletal | someone knows? | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: MAME can play many negeo arcade games/roms | 18:15 |
| Gorlist | emachnic_, right will figure that out as I do it :) | 18:15 |
| jeffjeffdejeff | dr_willis: you're a legend. thank you so much! | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: and theres proberly other eumlators out there | 18:15 |
| mezquita | ghostknife: how? | 18:15 |
| mka | paulus68, let's try a full-blown routine | 18:15 |

| skeletal | <Dr_Willis> xmames dosn't work here. | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: sorry you used up your quota of ???'s for the day | 18:16 |
| dinghy | lal | 18:16 |
| dinghy | it wont | 18:16 |
| meero | ghostknife: how to run chroot as "this" user? | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: odd.. it works fine here for me. :) | 18:16 |
| rm4irc | is there a doc describing how to setup wireless on a laptop which has a prisim2.5 card and needs to use wpa2 personal with AES security | 18:16 |

| dinghy | but i want higher volume:P | 18:16 |
| dinghy | and its on the "fullest" | 18:16 |
| mka | Fitz11, we can help you, but caps are shouting us | 18:16 |
| skeletal | <Dr_Willis> oh god, what can I do then? | 18:17 |
| t1 | Is the WAV or PCM channel turned down? | 18:17 |
| dinghy | my headphones are capable of more | 18:17 |
| ghostknife | meero: su <user> -c "chroot command" | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: you do need to properly set up Mame with the mame roms, and a mame front end helps | 18:17 |
| dinghy | where? :P | 18:17 |
| Fitz11 | o sorry. are you good with laptops | 18:17 |
| t1 | Should see it in alsamixer. | 18:17 |
| ctmjr | ntr_: ok read all this before doing anything. 1. press ctrl+alt=f1 2. run /etc/init.d/gdm stop 3. run sudo sh ./nameofdriver.run 4. answer the questions if you get a gcc version error just choose no. 5. after it is done reboot the computer | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: depends on exactly what you are wanting to do. MAME runs MAME roms - which include many negeo games. theres also mess, and proberly other emulators out there as well | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xmess | 18:17 |
| ubottu | Package xmess does not exist in karmic | 18:17 |
| ghostknife | meero: su <user> -c "<command>" # runs <command> as <user> | 18:17 |
| skeletal | <Dr_Willis> yes, i do it. My front end is Gxmame. But, doesn't work here. | 18:18 |
| ctmjr | *ctrl+alt+f1 | 18:18 |
| dinghy | hmm ive turned fullest on gnome-volume-control and alsamixer but still not high enough, any more suggestions? | 18:18 |
| ghostknife | meero: alternatively you can just do: sudo su <user> | 18:18 |
| skeletal | <Dr_Willis> Guy, is there some manner of use Kawaks emulator in Linux? | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: trouble shoot the issue i guess. and read up on mame configuration. You do have some mame roms? | 18:18 |
| ghostknife | meero: and from the shell you get run your chroot | 18:18 |
| skeletal | <Dr_Willis> Yes | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | skeletal: no idea what kawaks is. if its a windows app try it in wine | 18:18 |
| Fitz11 | mka can you help me | 18:19 |
| skeletal | I have tried with wine. Dosn't support it. | 18:19 |
| t1 | dinghy: Not really off the top of my head, really, probably some tweaking to be done with the card somewhere; used to have that issue with my internal. Searching the community docs or the forum for your sound card + "low volume" oughta help. | 18:19 |

| ctmjr | ntr_: ok just making sure you did not download the new driver | 18:25 |
| ghostknife | meero: it won't put you into chroot when you log in | 18:25 |
| ghostknife | meero: you have to run the chroot command as that user | 18:25 |
| ntr_ | erm.. i think that is the new driver.. it was released on 16th of Dec | 18:26 |
| quesada | running an geForce 8400M GS, proprietary nvidia driver 185. metacity is very slow. Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/m53e3d3fa | 18:26 |

| ghostknife | binMonkey: google for "vaio microphone" as well. found quite a few entries with proposed fixes. looks promising, haven't tried it yet | 18:26 |
| meero | ghostknife: ok, help me pls with this one thing .... how to install rtorrent in chroot enviroment | 18:26 |
| lwslws | ntr_: new driver does *not* work with your card ;) | 18:26 |
| ntr_ | :P | 18:26 |
| quesada | looks like dri and dri2 modules are not loaded. This happens in ubuntu 9.10 too (pastebin is my lappy sabayon). any idea how to fix this? | 18:26 |
| lwslws | ain't progress grand? | 18:26 |
| ghostknife | binMonkey: most of them also have the snd-hda-intel modules for the mic | 18:26 |
| ntr_ | i didnt install this one i downloaded.. couldnt work out how :( | 18:26 |
| ghostknife | binMonkey: for interest sake, which chipset do you have? | 18:27 |

| ghostknife | binMonkey: sorry | 18:29 |
| ghostknife | binMonkey: the older versions seem to be easier to fix | 18:29 |
| ctmjr | ntr_: are you on the computer you are trying to install the driver to | 18:30 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | quesada, try the latest beta, there's 30% 2D acceleration improvement | 18:30 |
| ghostknife | binMonkey: but look around. google snd_hda_intel or hda_intel or snd-hda-intel etc. with microphone or mic. there was quite a few fixes for the lower versions. might help for you | 18:30 |
| ntr_ | yup | 18:30 |

| deviad | why? | 18:31 |
| ghostknife | binMonkey: let me know if you fix it | 18:31 |
| CarlosGong | test | 18:31 |
| _scavenger_ | deviad: Maybe eth1 isn't availible? | 18:31 |
| paulus68_ | mka: that doesn't change much getting the same error as before however when I sudo du -kshc /.* I get this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m64e3fa1b will not work still gets stuk on the usr/bin | 18:31 |
| binMonkey | ghostknife: will do. | 18:31 |
| deviad | _scavenger_, I have nothing on eth1 | 18:31 |
| _scavenger_ | deviad: Are you sure? | 18:31 |
| deviad | yes, 100% | 18:31 |
| deviad | If I run ifconfig -a I cannot see anything labeled as eth1 | 18:32 |
| owen1_ | i try to install a driver and it ask me for my root password. i don't think ubuntu has one by default. how to create one? | 18:32 |
| ctmjr | owen1_: use sudo | 18:32 |
| mka | paulus68_, please paste HERE the command you executed that did not work | 18:32 |
| zamba | my vlc doesn't have support for the mpeg aac audio.. i guess this is related to licencing terms.. how can i get a version of ffmpeg that has this support, without recompiling myself? | 18:33 |

| ctmjr | !root | owen1_ | 18:33 |
| ubottu | owen1_: 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 | 18:33 |
| yann_ | bonjour, et bonne année,quelqu'un parle francais ? | 18:33 |
| mka | deviad, did you copy your ubuntu installation from another machine? | 18:33 |
| pac1 | When I try to look at "removable" media i get "unable to mount" "authentication is required". Checked google, but no clues there except references to ntfs-config. These are not ntfs partitiions. Anyone know a link that explains what is really happening? | 18:33 |
| mka | deviad, do as llutz said, it works | 18:33 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: when installing use sudo for those things that need a root password.. so .. sudo <package to install> | 18:33 |
| _scavenger_ | deviad: I googled a bit; could you try this: http://www.pubbs.net/fedora/200911/48043/ ? | 18:33 |
| paulus68_ | mka: sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh|pg>>check.txt | 18:33 |

| yann_ | vi | 18:34 |

| emachnic_ | yann_ d'accord | 18:34 |
| mka | paulus68_, first "cd /" then "sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh | pg" | 18:35 |
| owen1_ | Izinucs: the driver i install ask for root password. not superuser password, i guess. | 18:35 |
| yann_ | oui ok mais comment faire ? | 18:35 |

| deviad | usr13, and the same network card, broadcom etc. etc., is labeled a while later as eth2 | 18:35 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: same | 18:35 |
| deviad | it's always the same card | 18:35 |
| owen1_ | Izinucs: i need to set root password, since ubuntu don't come with it by default | 18:35 |
| mka | paulus68_, you need to press ENTER to view the next page | 18:35 |
| emachnic_ | Sorry | 18:35 |
| usr13 | deviad: ifconfig eth0 ; ifconfig eth1 | 18:35 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: what are you installing | 18:35 |
| owen1_ | Izinucs: dell printer driver | 18:35 |
| mka | paulus68_, if you are not familiar with pg you can use "less" | 18:35 |
| deviad | mka, I installed from the "live cd" | 18:35 |
| usr13 | But try what llutz said. | 18:36 |
| paulus68_ | mka: ok | 18:36 |
| deviad | since the "slick installation" didn't work. I had to use the "try and see" menu entry | 18:36 |
| adi_ | 14 | 18:36 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: you don't need a "root" password for that.. sudo will work fine.. their instructions mentions root but sudo works.. | 18:36 |
| deviad | then I clicked on the installer and I installed ubuntu this way on my macbook pro | 18:36 |
| owen1_ | Izinucs: i thought its the same, but it's not let me install it if i type the super user password. i guess super user is not root. | 18:36 |
| adi_ | wolf14 | 18:37 |
| deviad | usr13, if I run ifconfig eth1 it says "device not found" | 18:37 |
| mka | deviad, did you do what llutz said, erasing the contents of the persistent udev net files (and cd files if you want) | 18:37 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: you're doing something wrong.. is this a linux driver? which printer is it? | 18:37 |
| NamVet | Dr_Willis sez, " you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere, then login as that user. and it should 'reset' your gnome settings back to defaults" Confused does gnome* mean all gnome files or just the broken ones? If just the broken ones, how do I tell which are the broken ones? Sry for being a pain. | 18:37 |
| owen1_ | Izinucs: let me try running their sh file with sudo. 1 sec | 18:37 |
| Xfact | hey.... | 18:38 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: if it's a sh file then yes.. sudo sh <filename.sh> | 18:38 |
| Xfact | learnd manything | 18:38 |

| owen1_ | Izinucs: interesting, so what's up with this root account? is it different than superuser? and why it has no password? | 18:38 |

| ubuntu__ | hii | 18:39 |
| Izinucs | owen1_: it's the way it's done with ubuntu.. sudo gives you temporary root priviliges.. it's a security measure | 18:39 |

| paulus68_ | usr13: couldn't find package pastebinit | 18:48 |
| Xfact | in ubuntu for specific sound card any specific software needed or ALSA driver controls everything??? | 18:48 |
| ntr_ | urgh | 18:48 |
| sol10 | paulus68_: he probably meant you should pastebin the output of the given command. | 18:49 |
| usr13 | paulus68_: How is your internet connection? | 18:49 |
| paulus68_ | usr13: good | 18:49 |

| ntr_ | ctmjr, the driver installed fine, but now the screens all weird, | 18:49 |

| paulus68_ | usr13: otherwhise I couldn't connect to chat | 18:49 |
| edbian | Xfact, Linux is fundamentally different than windows in that the drivers are part of the kernel. alsa's goal is to work on any soundcard it might come across. It may or may not work (it probably will) | 18:49 |
| mka | usr13, I know, i don't think we have any other choice, we are tracking all the files in the filesystem, wait, maybe there is another choice ....?? | 18:50 |

| Xfact | edbian: yes...but all line out jack doesn't working... | 18:51 |
| mka | trism, usr13 the hard drive of paulus68_ is about 500GB and it shows 98% usage but he cannot locate the file using his hdd space | 18:52 |
| usr13 | mka: O just a sec.. | 18:52 |
| edbian | ADmad, The rule of thumb used to be 2 x your ram. It is a topic that is hotly debated. I think that 1GB is pretty much perfect for anybody. I'll find a reference article online hang on... | 18:52 |
| trism | mka: why not something like du / | sort -nr > ~/usage.txt? | 18:52 |

| usr13 | paulus68_: mka ls -lS |grep ^d #will show directories sorted by size | 18:54 |
| llutz | edbian: that swap=2xram rule was made 10 yrs ago, pointless today | 18:54 |
| Xfact | but one thing of ubuntu is very irritating...it has limitation of software versions or usage with it's every version, that windows doesn't have...all most all software supports all versions.... | 18:54 |
| edbian | ADmad, That is exactly what the article says | 18:54 |
| edbian | llutz, yeah | 18:54 |

| edbian | jMyles, you can list all of your iptables rules by "sudo iptables -L" if you don't have a rule to block a port than it is open. | 19:04 |
| mka | usr13, paulus68_ , unop , there are mount points in media so discard it | 19:04 |

| sharpen047 | does anyone know how to create an ad-hoc network? | 19:04 |
| jMyles | edbian, usr13: ahh, ok :-) thanks | 19:04 |
| llutz | edbian: a port would only be "open" if a process listens on it | 19:04 |
| edbian | jMyles, No problem | 19:04 |
| edbian | llutz, I think the definition of open is sort of fuzzy. In my mind it could be open with nothing responding on it. | 19:05 |
| usr13 | jMyles: What you probably want is: netstat -tunlp | 19:05 |
| paulus68_ | mka:usr13: media the folder for my mountpoints that's correct | 19:05 |
| edbian | llutz, Simply because nothing has closed the port. | 19:05 |
| mka | sharpen047, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "blah" mode ad-hoc key off freq 2.422G ? | 19:06 |
| llutz | edbian: you cannot reach a port, nothing listens on, so its not open | 19:06 |

| mka | sharpen047, ahhaaaaa, now, how is the iPhone going to detect that static ip address, usr13 ? | 19:25 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: Well, I only know Linux, not Iphone. Sorry I can't help you there. (You'll have to talk to my son, he has an Iphone, I only have a blackberry :) | 19:25 |
| sharpen047 | usr13: so did they change that recently? I used to be able to type Sudo iwconfig eth1 essid adhocnet and it would set the essid to adhocnet without anything else | 19:26 |
| DasEi | How do I get the trigger for a hd when it's mounted ? (I want to run a script once I manually mount a hd ) | 19:26 |
| dj_ | hey guys i have usb driver memory that i bought its 2gb, now when i open it it shows just 999mb and there are no files on it | 19:26 |
| sharpen047 | usr13: Nah I know how to get it to work I have already done it on my windows partition | 19:26 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: You are correct, that should [still] work. | 19:26 |
| deviad | Is there anything like skim for gnome? | 19:27 |
| DasEi | dj_: what does sudo fdisk -l say about it ? | 19:27 |
| sharpen047 | usr13: that's why I'm trying to say. That command doesn't change my essid | 19:27 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: well, when you figure it out, let the rest of us know, (I'm clueless). | 19:27 |
| sharpen047 | It's like it doesn't work | 19:27 |
| paulus68_ | usr13: can you give me your thoughts on this question if I copy my config files for dhcp/bind/iptables to another computer do a complete reinstall of my server but these files back would I be able to surf directly afterwards or not? | 19:27 |
| ZystemFryar | Gooday, is there a painless way to allow multiple users to use the same Ubuntu system Simultaneously (via VNC or RDP) Kind of like how Remote Desktop works on Windows Server 2003+ | 19:27 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: Are you using the right interface name for your wireless NIC? | 19:28 |
| dj_ | DasEi:http://www.pastebin.ca/1734290 | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: is theres a problem with using vnc? or they could use 'xming' and have linux programs appearing on their windows desktop. | 19:28 |
| sharpen047 | usr13: Haha ok thanks for the help usr13 and mka and yes it's the only wifi card I have plugged in ATM I'll be right back. Gunna try my last thought here | 19:28 |
| mka | usr13, what if sharpen047 brings the interface down and apply the iwconfig settings and bring it up afterwards? | 19:28 |
| DasEi | ZystemFryar: man adduser, addgroup | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: also 'cygwin' just released a new version that could be used for a similer method to the xming way. | 19:29 |

| ZystemFryar | Dr_Willis: Basically, What I want is One person to be able to log in via VNC or other method and use the Machine, But not disconnect the Local user. | 19:30 |
| usr13 | mka: He's gone now... but yea, it could be that he was using it to connect to the internet, I did not ask him that. | 19:30 |
| DasEi | dj_: run gparted and format the unallocated space | 19:30 |
| MorphyNOR | ZystemFryar: use NX server | 19:30 |
| burzki | webbb82, you have to select the manual partition option | 19:30 |
| ZystemFryar | MorphyNOR / Dr_Willis : will look at NX & freenx :) | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: You may be confused about vnc. :) you CAN have several vnc 'desktop' sessions that are 'hidden' the 'viewing the current local desktop' is just ONE of vnc's features. | 19:31 |
| usr13 | paulus68_: What kind of server is this? (I'm not so sure you can't just fix what you have) | 19:31 |
| dj_ | DasEi:dunno how to run gparted | 19:31 |
| DasEi | ZystemFryar: then use ssh with forwarded x, can define how many connections are allowed | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: a user could ssh in, run 'vncserver' and make their own desktop. then connect to it via a vncviewer. You could do this with a dozen users. | 19:31 |

| usr13 | paulus68_: Do you have it sharing internet or something? (What kind of server is it?) | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: the local user would see none of those. | 19:31 |
| ZystemFryar | Thanks, Going to play around a bit... | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ZystemFryar: However. running 12 instances of the gnome desktop - may put a bit of load on the machine. Using X forwarding - would be less intensive. | 19:32 |
| paulus68_ | usr13: it's a server where which I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10 last night I had about 100 gig free and now it's full I have dhcp bind iptables running on to it and no internet sharing | 19:32 |

| macman_ | can't i just make the cd into an iso and then burn the iso to a cd+r | 19:58 |

| Steamduck | usr13: yes that's the way I like it | 20:02 |
| ctmjr | ntr__: well the driver is right the driver you can try and reinstall i cannot find much on google | 20:02 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - I've inspected the card physically -- it appears to have an ES1869 chipset, so I think it's the right module. Also, the BIOS reports it's an ES1869 in the plug-and-play settings. | 20:02 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - OK, hold on... | 20:02 |
| Snump | legend2440: gotcha. | 20:03 |
| legend2440 | Snump: maybe try channel #radeon they may know | 20:03 |
| mezquitale | Flootenkerp, use "add/remove" search for "java", install java support, then try to view on firefox whatever it is youre trying to view, if it fails describe the issue you are experiencing | 20:03 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - Thanks for responding, by the way... | 20:03 |

| guntbert | PrototypeX29A: there is a setting somewhere to enable/disable that | 20:17 |
| macman_ | ok so let me refrase my qestion i think it will be better | 20:18 |

| macman_ | let me give you an example | 20:18 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - So the "cannot allocate resource" line means what, exactly? | 20:18 |
| Steamduck | usr13: back to no google searches | 20:18 |
| DasEi | Guest21102: yes, and if you reboot anyway, check if can assign a irq to that Isa slot manaually (in bios) | 20:18 |
| usr13 | Steamduck: dhclient is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client and when you issue command: 'dhclient' your machine asks for IP and connection information from your router. At which point your router will return with a suggested IP address, default gateway IP and nameserver IPs and all that information is used to configure the connection properly. | 20:19 |
| trism | krdyt: /dev/sda2 will be (hd0,1) | 20:19 |
| Steamduck | usr13: and now that it's lost again? | 20:19 |
| trism | krdyt: other than that, the grub entry in the "only read below if windows is missing..." should be correct | 20:19 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - Unfortunately, I can't seem to assign an IRQ manually. I haven't pulled the card to look for jumper settings, but I can try that. The BIOS only allows enable/disable of the card, which it names as an ES1869. | 20:19 |

| Guest21102 | DasEi - Sorry id10t error on my pastebinit command, try http://pastebin.com/f48738c41 | 20:32 |
| ndroftheline | right, so can anybody help me figure out what /dev/xxx device my digital camera is? | 20:32 |

| konraddo | hi i want to install ubuntu this evening, shops are already closed and i don't have any empty CD's, only DVDs. can i burn ISO of Ubuntu CD to the DVD disc and will it work? | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | baz: does that not show a file? | 20:33 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - I was trying to suppress NetworkManager and dhclient lines, but I used the wrong parameter and only included them. :/ | 20:33 |
| DasEi | Guest21102: that's a syslog, second | 20:33 |
| CShadowRun | !installationfromusb | konraddo | 20:33 |
| meway | Dr_willis do you know the command to make you root not just tirminal but where I can just go to files and click them? | 20:33 |
| CShadowRun | aww. | 20:33 |
| Izinucs | konraddo: should | 20:33 |
| konraddo | ok, thanks :) | 20:33 |
| eruditional | ActionParsnip, yeah? | 20:33 |
| ZystemFryar | Dr_Willis, Thanks, Yes, the users are connecting via internet, and are fairly non-technical... | 20:33 |
| ndroftheline | anybody know how to identify the block device of a digital camera? | 20:33 |
| teage | hi, how you guys doin? | 20:34 |
| CShadowRun | konraddo: google ubuntu Installation from usb, there should be an article on the wiki that tells you how to do it. I think there is also a DVD image someplace | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | konraddo: as far as I am aware, no. I suggest you download the DVD ISO, or you can use a USB stick to put the ISO on to install from (assuming the system can boot USB) | 20:34 |
| Dr_Willis | meway: you realluy should NOT be running nautilus as root. ive seen all sorts of goofy things happen because of that. If yiou really need a file manager as root. I always use 'mc' in a root terminal. | 20:34 |
| ZystemFryar | Dr_Willis: I'm looking up freenx now. | 20:34 |
| ndroftheline | !installfromusb | 20:34 |

| Izinucs | ndroftheline: with the camera unplugged.. open a terminal and type dmesg.. look at the last few lines.. now plug in the camera wait a few seconds for it to mount or be recognized.. then repeat the last command.. you'll see the mount point. | 20:34 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - FYI - I did load the module, so there may be some non-default stuff at the end of the log. | 20:34 |

| ndroftheline | Izinucs, i know the mount point though...i want the block device (is that the right term? ) the /dev/xxx thing. | 20:35 |
| ndroftheline | ActionParsnip, fdisk doesn't show my camera. | 20:36 |
| meway | guntbert Dr_willis I actually did think of an alternative way thanks lol | 20:36 |
| ndroftheline | ActionParsnip, it's mounted with gphoto2 | 20:36 |
| teage | well, im using ubuntu karmic. with default firefox, i believe its 3.5? anywho, How do i reset it to its default | 20:36 |
| Izinucs | ndroftheline: might | 20:36 |
| ndroftheline | Izinucs, i'll try it. thanks | 20:36 |
| ndroftheline | ! | 20:36 |
| meway | guntbert Dr_willis I used vim under the sudo command | 20:36 |
| teage | completly | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ndroftheline: fdisk should show the partition if its visible | 20:36 |
| Izinucs | kaddi: I've used and loaded hugin from the repos and used it with no issues.. autopano isn't one of the utilities that I've tried.. what's it do | 20:37 |
| guntbert | meway: good :-) but if you better like gedit - use gksudo | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | meway: yes. thats a good way to edit files as root.. :) | 20:37 |

| ActionParsnip | teage: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old | 20:37 |
| kaddi | Izinucs: it creates controlpoints if you want to merge several pictures into one | 20:37 |
| syke | I just noticed that the recent update to lucid's gcc-snapshot includes a dependency on libasound. Why is gcc dependent on ALSA all of a sudden? | 20:37 |
| ndroftheline | ActionParsnip, nor does parted | 20:37 |

Often I manually create control points.. in the widow with 2 pic showing make sure the pic on the left is #0 or 1 and the second on the right is #1 or 2 respectively.. | 20:40 |

| ActionParsnip | Flootenkerp: looks like the xorg edgers ppa helps | 20:54 |
| CharelB | hacky new year to everyone! | 20:54 |
| w3asal | when I run compiz, everytime I use alt-tab to switch from and then eventually back to gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal does not capture *any* keystrokes, if I move the window or switch back and forth with the mouse, it works again. where should I report this? it's 100% reproducible on my system | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Flootenkerp: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 20:55 |
| Flootenkerp | So its an issue with my xorg drivers? | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | w3asal: log a bug | 20:55 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: If you want to server you will have to install it. And I think what you need is dhcp3-server But look and see; apt-cache search dhcpd | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | w3asal: i'd also ask in #compiz | 20:55 |
| Xfact | I updated firefox and it's changed into 'Shiretoko browser' is that normal? | 20:55 |
| Xfact | Shiretoko browser 3.5 | 20:55 |
| w3asal | ActionParsnip, I plan to, should I file under compiz or gnome-terminal? also should I file in ubuntu or upstream? | 20:56 |
| Flootenkerp | I found this guide, it looks like my issue. | 20:56 |
| Flootenkerp | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html | 20:56 |
| MorphyNOR | Xfact: thats the codename | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Flootenkerp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1061484 | 20:56 |
| Xfact | MorphyNOR: means it's normal | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Flootenkerp: yes that mentions the xorg edgers ppa too, get it added and update | 20:57 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: But you have to tell it to listen only on the wifi device if you are connected to your LAN on the wired one becuase it will cause problems on your LAN if you have 2 dhcp servers running at once. | 20:57 |
| MorphyNOR | Xfact: means you are using FX 3.5 in something other than ubuntu 9.10 | 20:57 |
| Flootenkerp | So follow the guide I linked to and it should work better? | 20:58 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: Which would more than likely mean editing the startup sctript for the dhcp server application. | 20:58 |
| sharpen047 | usr13, how do i do that on the command line? I have a second wifi card ill install now so i can stay connected here | 20:59 |

| ActionParsnip | crankharder: not all 64bit CPUs support 64bit guest OSes | 21:02 |

| MorphyNOR | crankharder: better ask that question in #vbox | 21:03 |
| crankharder | thanx | 21:03 |
| DasEi | crankharder: version ubuntu, version vbox ? (wrong chan her) | 21:03 |
| DasEi | here* | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | crankharder: you may also want to check your BIOS has the 64bit VM feature (its name escapes me) enabled | 21:03 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: You might be able to put some commands in /etc/rc.local or someplace to tell the dhcp server to listen on the correct wifi device and to set the essid and IP address to it etc. | 21:03 |
| sharpen047 | usr13, im going to try to connect via command line and get rid of my network manager | 21:04 |

| MorphyNOR | !symlink | karleeto | 21:06 |

| Dr_Willis | beeny: its a special lauincher tool. if you had gnome-do running you could just hit alt-space and type 'goo' and it would show all programs begging with goo* | 21:11 |

| sharpen047_ | usr13: back though | 21:12 |
| DasEi | kaimanjak: so you got a running ubuntu on the first ? | 21:12 |
| Blue1 | kaimanjak: i hope some of these are extended partitions- why no /swap? | 21:12 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - alsa-utils package was already newest version, restart command says OK for both shutdown and reinitialization | 21:13 |
| DasEi | Guest21102:still no go by alsamixer ? | 21:13 |
| nmvictor | DasEi: ok, i mean i cant find it with `locate smskannel.conf` yet the dicumentation at http://www.kannel.org talks of this configuration files | 21:13 |

| kaimanjak | Blue1 there is one /swap too | 21:14 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - I was reading a couple of places where other people with ISA cards had to do some alias commands of some sort. Could that apply here? It seems like the card is active and recognized but not by ALSA. | 21:14 |
| lynne | hi, i have problems with mounting a internal harddisk... it doesn't automount | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | lynne: and the disk filesystem is? | 21:14 |
| meway | blue1 I think so | 21:14 |
| lynne | Dr_Willis, ext3 | 21:15 |
| Blue1 | meway: don't think so - KNOW so | 21:15 |
| kaimanjak | DasEi i want to install ubuntu on the ext3 partitions | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | lynne: you added a proper entry for it in /etc/fstab ? | 21:15 |
| dnivra | one more question "sudo dselect" is used to install the packages after all the selections right? I got "sudo: dselect: command not found". is it the right command? | 21:15 |
| meway | blue1 gimmy a sec he stupidly disconnected and he is on youtube so i dont see why not | 21:15 |

| KiRiLoS | i have a driver mounted to my system,the thing is something gotta be wrong with permissions,i want it to be read&write for every user in my system | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | KiRiLoS: and what filesystem is this drive? | 21:16 |
| Guest21102 | DasEi - If it didn't recognize the card on install, maybe default is not set correctly? | 21:16 |
| nmvictor | anybody used kannel here? | 21:16 |
| KiRiLoS | Dr_Willis, NTFS | 21:16 |
| Blue1 | KiRiLoS: owch -- sudo chmod 777 <filename> | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | KiRiLoS: you may want to install/run the ntfs-config tool and enable the options for allowing everyont access I think | 21:16 |
| DasEi | kaimanjak: errm, do I misunderstood ? didn't you say you had one internal in use right now and wanted ubuntu on another , second hd not recognized by the installer ? | 21:16 |
| lynne | Dr_Willis, the weird this is that i don't see it in the fstab... when i mounted it, gparted says they are sdb1 sdb2 etc... but fstab names sda1 etc. | 21:17 |
| KiRiLoS | Dr_Willis, Any instructions? | 21:17 |
| sharpen047_ | usr13: Well I was going to connect on a third computer but mobbit blocked freenode so that won't work | 21:17 |
| meway | blue1 restarting it fixed it | 21:17 |
| ashka | somebody have already installed qwebirc ? | 21:17 |
| llutz | dnivra: tried this to restore packages? sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 21:17 |
| Blue1 | meway: great! | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | KiRiLoS: install and run 'ntfs-config' :) it only has 2 check box's for its gui | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | KiRiLoS: or add a proper fstab entry manually. | 21:17 |
| Scunizi | When I call up Gnome-Do the text in the box is unreadable..like it's some funky font that's not rendering correctly.. how do I fix that? | 21:17 |
| usr13 | sharpen047: shucks | 21:17 |
| kaimanjak | DasEi i had windows installed in the first hd | 21:18 |
| KiRiLoS | Dr_Willis, I could do that,if i just knew which are the correct permissions :P Do you want me to paste the line in the /etc/fstab i have right now? | 21:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KiRiLoS: heres my fstab line.. I was thinking ntfs-config added them as well.. but it must be tweaking the hardware layer configs now. | 21:18 |

| balloooza | KiRiLoS, NTFS dose not handle permissions per file, so in /etc/fstab (post on pastbin) you need to specify the options dmask and fmask (I think that is what they are I will double chek | 21:31 |
| KiRiLoS | usr13, & balloooza , i am newb when it comes to permissions,i'll paste my fstab line | 21:32 |

| edbian | I'm looking for a very lightweight distribution that will save a lot of battery power by only running firefox. Does such a thing exist? | 22:27 |
| usr13 | jarray52: Is this a laptop? | 22:27 |
| usr13 | jarray52: Or desktop? | 22:27 |
| jarray52 | usr13: desktop | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: running fewer apps wont save battery | 22:28 |
| anon65 | edbian; you can do that with arch linux | 22:28 |
| FiReSTaRT | edbian: xubuntu's pretty good on that count.. lighter weight desktop and decent power management | 22:28 |
| iKernel | edbian, or you could run Chromium | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: you can install a minimal ubuntu then just install firefox | 22:28 |
| usr13 | Check your powersupply, it may be a bit weak for the job. If it is 300w try a 400w | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !minimal | edbian | 22:28 |
| ubottu | edbian: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:28 |
| iKernel | edbian, which is an extremely lightweight OS with the sole purpose of being able to surf the web. I don't think it's Linux though. | 22:28 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Well I think it will because I won't be wasting processor power on things like ssh servers and things. Right? | 22:28 |
| jarray52 | usr13: It has a 1000W power supply, which isn't being fully utilized. So, I think that's okay. | 22:29 |
| anon65 | edbian; you can install arch and literally only have firefox running and the stuff required for sound and video | 22:29 |
| edbian | iKernel: Is it available? | 22:29 |
| anon65 | anda desktop of course | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: you can also install xpud for a very minimal and fast booting system (less than 3 seconds) which has a very low set of hardware drivers and few apps | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ChromiumnOS - is a ubuntu variant. :) | 22:29 |
| iKernel | edbian, tbh what anon65 just suggested sounds much better. Chromium is only in its infancy. It works, but I'm not sure how easy it is for just anybody to install. | 22:29 |
| pawel_121_ | PuppyLinux is very lightweight Linux OS | 22:29 |
| edbian | anon65: I looked into arch once. I thought of that. I was hoping there was somebody who basically did that for me with arch | 22:29 |
| usr13 | jarray52: If it's not defective, well, that's probably not it. Other than that, I just don't know. Try some other USB device. | 22:29 |
| iKernel | edbian, what ActionParsnip just said sounds even better | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: the cpu still runs the same | 22:30 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: is xpud a distribution? | 22:30 |
| anon65 | the documentation is really good and will guide you through installing everything edbian | 22:30 |
| usr13 | jarray52: if one thing doesn't work, try another. | 22:30 |
| edbian | anon65: The docs for what? | 22:30 |
| jarray52 | usr13: It works with all mice and keyboards. It freezes with all USB flash drives. | 22:30 |
| anon65 | for arch | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | is XPUD even at a useable state at this time? last time i tried it.. it did.. well.. basically nothing >:) | 22:30 |
| jarray52 | usr13: Troubleshooting is difficult sometimes. | 22:31 |
| edbian | anon65: Yeah I like arch :) Takes a lot of time to set up though | 22:31 |
| FiReSTaRT | edbian: iirc xpud is ubuntu based.. a buddy ran it off a live cd last night and it looked pretty cool for those who want things simple and intuitive.... i still prefer gnome (just wishing it wasn't buggy as hell) | 22:31 |
| anon65 | yeah that is true, but you'd get a very minimal system with just what you want | 22:31 |
| jarray52 | usr13: Even though the problem wasn't resolved, I learned several things from your suggestions. | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: its a distribution of linux, its not ubuntu based | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | anon65: theres also 'tiny core linux' 10mb for the base + whatever you install. | 22:31 |
| jarray52 | usr13: Thanks | 22:32 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: arch or xpud? | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: xpud | 22:32 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: I know what arch is | 22:32 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: So both then :) | 22:32 |
| iKernel | My vote is on xpud | 22:32 |
| nmvictor | whats an access logfile? | 22:32 |
| FiReSTaRT | edbian: listen to ActionParsnip.. my apologies for misinforming you (i myself was misinformed on that) | 22:32 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: theres also feather linux, damnsmall linux, puppy | 22:32 |
| edbian | FiReSTaRT: No worries | 22:32 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Does running entirely from ram save battery? I imagine it would what with the power it takes to spin my HDD | 22:32 |
| usr13 | jarray52: It freezes with ALL usb devices? Hummm.. Are you using USB mouse? | 22:32 |
| iKernel | I might install xpud myself, sounds like a really good thing to have with a laptop which has a crappy battery and no mains supply available | 22:33 |
| usr13 | jarray52: What other USB devices are you using? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | edbian: sure will, you can tell the drive to spindown | 22:33 |
| deviad | Can anyone pls suggest me a flash player? I'm getting issues while playing movies. :P | 22:33 |
| anon65 | yeah, xpud looks interesting | 22:33 |
| jarray52 | usr13: It freezes only with USB flash drives. It never freezes with a USB mouse or keyboard or printer. | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | deviad: theres basically only the adobe flash player. | 22:33 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: Well like puppy for example runs entirely in ram (no HDD touching at all until you save files) | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | deviad: and yes.. it has issues. :) | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | anon65: its fast but wifi is a bit of a pain to setup | 22:34 |
| iKernel | ActionParsnip, can xpud be booted from grub? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: for offline viewing? | 22:34 |
| jarray52 | usr13: All USB ports work with a mouse or keyboard. I plugged the mouse into all the USB ports, and it worked. | 22:34 |
| iKernel | ActionParsnip, does it have a partitioner during install? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | iKernel: sure, you can boot the img file | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | iKernel: i imagine it can. i wonder if the ISO of xpud can be booted via grub2 :) | 22:34 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, I was talking about online video streaming | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | iKernel: xpud has no installer | 22:34 |
| tr_ | Whe I click on Places>Home or Places>anything, I get an hourglass like nautilus is doing something, then it fails with no message.. how can I troubleshoot this? | 22:34 |

| jarray52 | usr13: I also tried printers. It can't find the CUPS service, but it doesn't freeze the system. | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: then use the adobe plugin for your browser | 22:35 |

| DartmanX | stupid question: is there a way to get the make/model of a pci card without opening up and looking at the card? | 22:37 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - The key tricks seem to be: 1) loading the snd-es18xx module, and 2) adding my user ID to the "audio" group. | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: can you use: http://pastebin.com to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf | 22:37 |
| deviad | I'm using adoe at the moment | 22:37 |
| deviad | but I tried swfdec to see if it was the problem | 22:37 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - Not sure what, if any, of the other stuff you helped me with might have had an impact, but I wanted to say thanks very much for your assistance! | 22:37 |
| iKernel | ActionParsnip, do you know which file I need to edit to add an entry for xpud in grub2? I'm new to grub2 | 22:37 |
| usr13 | jarray52: Power for USB devices is limited to about 500mA I think and if that is exceeded, I'm not sure what, but something quits working. | 22:37 |
| UbuntuUser | if I minimize UrbanTerror and maximize it again, it looks like on this screenshot | 22:38 |
| DasEi | Guest72055: fine, I got it on desk first time, it's really a complete different surface, anyway ad the module to /etc/modules | 22:38 |
| Xfact | AVG and Avast distributing anti virus for linux....but really we need any kind of anti virus for Ubuntu? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | iKernel: me too, i put the img on usb | 22:38 |
| iKernel | usr13, I'd say it kills one of the usb devices to free up power | 22:38 |
| iKernel | fair enough | 22:38 |
| iKernel | I don't have a usb stick. well I do, but the slider is screwed | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: can you provide the output of the command | 22:38 |
| DasEi | Guest72055: and also a reboot could have helped the init with new alsa | 22:39 |
| usr13 | iKernel: Well, in jarray52's case, it kills the whole system. | 22:39 |
| tr_ | FiReSTaRT: wierd, I get nothing... no message returned or apparent action.... 'nautilus /home/tr/' | 22:39 |
| iKernel | usr13, lol | 22:39 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - Yes, I will do that. Question: I have another box just like this one -- would loading the module in the LiveCD environment prior to installing the system make a difference in the way it's set up? | 22:39 |
| nisstyre65 | Xfact; there's definitely possibility for finding exploits in any linux system | 22:39 |
| kaddi_ | Xfact: mostly when you do a lot of file sharing with windows machines. I would only use it to make sure you do not pass on infected files to windows users, right now there isn't really malware for ubuntu | 22:39 |
| nisstyre65 | keyword there is "possibility" | 22:39 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - Or would I likely have to go through the module-assistant steps on that box, too? | 22:39 |
| goose | can someone help me write a crontab? I can't understand the documentation of how to use crontab, I just need to add a single script run at startup | 22:40 |
| nmvictor | when you try to kill a process with sudo kill <PID> and it fails to dies, is their another option? | 22:40 |
| usr13 | iKernel: May be a bug. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: kill -9 pid | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | goose: to run things on startup use /etc/rc.local | 22:40 |
| Guest72055 | goose - I think you will want to look into anacron instead of crontab. | 22:40 |
| iKernel | usr13, sounds to me like a bug in his physical system | 22:40 |
| DasEi | Guest72055: no, live goes to ram only, but it's a difference if the card is already in at install time | 22:40 |
| jarray521 | usr13: I only have 2 devices connected to my computer. The USB flash drive would be the 3rd. | 22:40 |
| Guest72055 | goose - As I understand it, crontab won't "catch up" on things that it wasn't awake for when the time came for the scheduled task. | 22:40 |

| Xfact | kaddi_: no I do not have any touch with windows...then I need don't any anti virus? | 22:41 |
| usr13 | iKernel: jarray521 Could be.. hard telling | 22:41 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - The card was in. It just wasn't recognized. | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: you only need sudo if the process is not owned by your user | 22:41 |
| usr13 | jarray521: What are the other 2 devices? | 22:41 |
| Guest72055 | DasEi - I'm wondering if getting it recognized prior to the installation will make the installation set it up correctly? | 22:41 |

| erUSUL | Dr_Willis: if you run !abs in #bash you'll see that they have a different opinion ;P | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | dooglus_: you may want to scandisk/def4rag in windows first. Then if windows has the feature - use windows to resize the partition and leave part of the HD unallocated. it may be MUCH MUCH faster at that then ubuntu will be. | 22:48 |

| Dr_Willis | ljamisonii: you do see the note at the top of that url 'YOU are looking at old test results' ? the newer results give simpiler directions | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: possibly, make sure you run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove to remove nspluginwrapper if its no longer needed | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ljamisonii: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720 is what i was looking at | 22:55 |
| Hakunamatata | ActionParsnip: i want only to make sth like tunel shh for some aplication | 22:55 |
| DasEi | jarray52: that would be usb-utils, but I don't think it's right to fill a bug about that paket, is your sys updated and graded, did you check all logs for additional hints ? dmesg ? | 22:56 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: the other OS is all virus'ed up, so I can't boot it reliably. I'd like to use the 9.10 desktop ISO to resize it. it's ntfs, but I don't see the option to do that. any idea where it is? | 22:56 |
| yfk | ActionParsnip, it doesen't run "great". try hitting this nastypanda.com | 22:56 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, I did that already :( | 22:56 |
| yfk | Dr_Willis, It's like It's intentionally broken | 22:56 |

| deviad | nvidia 185* | 22:57 |
| jarray52 | DasEi: No. I don't have too much experience with Ubuntu. Thus, I think it might not be good for me to file a bug report. | 22:57 |
| ljamisonii | Dr_Willis: I was looking at this one and it displayed the same comment. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720&iTestingId=46499 | 22:57 |

| snake | Vimes: torrentz dot com | 22:59 |

| DasEi | Vimes:then d/l super grub disk and try to fix it | 22:59 |
| jarray52 | DasEi: I have not focused the problem, and I cannot reproduce it on other machines. I won't file a bug report until I can do that. | 22:59 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: section 3.3 is "Resizing partitions with Windows Vista". I'm NOT buying Vista! | 22:59 |

| nigtv | Hi. So I was in here last night talking with a few people on harddrive issues, I'll skip the long story and just say that although I don't seem to be able to boot off of this harddrive at all since it crashed (seemingly for no reason), its been detected in every computer I've put it in, as well as passing IDE diagnostic tests. | 23:01 |
| snake | oh dual boot k srry | 23:01 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: it tells me to chose options that don't exist | 23:01 |
| jarray52 | DasEi: What should I look for in dmesg? When checking syslog and messages with tail -f, I see 6 to 8 messages ending with USB Mass Storage Registered after inserting the flash drive and before the system freezes. | 23:01 |
| dooglus_ | the first option isn't "resize" | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: look on the right panel, it says "Resizing Partitions Using the Ubuntu Installer" | 23:01 |
| dooglus_ | there is no "resize" option | 23:01 |
| clark3934 | Can anyone assist me with setting up samba? I want my server to share 2 usb attached NTFS/FAT-32 drives with read/write access for all anonymous users in my subnet. I have users on Windows XP/VIsta/7 and Ubuntu, and accounts are shared by many. How should I set up permissions on my server? It's not headless--in fact, there will be a user (not admin) logged it at all times, so the USB mounting seems to be messing thing | 23:01 |
| clark3934 | s up. Any advice/guides? I can't find any relevant ones. | 23:01 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: right. but the text in that section doesn't match what I see in 9.10's installer | 23:01 |
| nigtv | I'm wondering where I should go from here, I would like to get the data on there, I am going to try to use a live cd, one more time, they have not been booting but a good quality cdr. I mainly just am wondering if there is any feasible way to tell if a harddrive is really dead. | 23:02 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: would you like to see a screenshot? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: thats all i know, the installer has the steps included as far as I know | 23:02 |
| meway | wtf fail | 23:03 |
| meway | The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper: command not found root@Odis-desktop:~# apt-get install ndiswrapper-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ndiswrapper-common is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@Odis-desktop:~ | 23:03 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: I'm not making this up | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: the resizing is on the livecd | 23:03 |
| meway | sorry gor not pastbin 0_0 | 23:03 |
| meway | for* | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: i understand but thats the kind of thing you want | 23:03 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: I've booted the live cd, double-clicked 'install ubuntu' on the desktop, and got to step 4 or so | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: websearch around for more precise guides, it can be resized though | 23:03 |
| DasEi | jarray52: gedit /var/log/syslog , scroll to the time the freezes occur, same for /var/log/kernlog and after a boot with usb inserted do dmesg > dmesg.txt and look in that file, too | 23:03 |
| meway | can someone help me with that? ^ | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | clark3934: mount the ntfs shares from /etc/fstab - do not let the desktp 'automount' them. that way you can set the proper permissions for the drives | 23:04 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: I think I'm looking at the official docs | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: make sure your backups are recent enough incase it goes wrong | 23:04 |
| Jamed | meway: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 23:04 |
| Jamed | meway: not ndiswrapper-common | 23:04 |
| Jeruvy | nigtv: most drives today will 'start to fail' before they die outright. If the drive supports SMART you should use that to check it out. fsck can also check for filesystem errors which could be indicitive of a drive failure or other causes | 23:04 |
| meway | um look at the | 23:04 |
| meway | oh ok i will try that lol | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Jamed: why not install ndisgtk ;) | 23:04 |
| meway | jamed E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper | 23:05 |
| Jamed | ActionParsnip: because i have no idea what that is, and my wlan runs fine without ndiswrapper stuff :) | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | meway: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ndisgtk | jamed | 23:05 |
| ubottu | jamed: ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.4-1 (karmic), package size 21 kB, installed size 440 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 23:05 |
| clark3934 | Dr_Willis: Even though they're usb-attached? Also, what type of permissions should I set on the drives? Who should be the owner? I've thought about making a sambashares user/group that is the drives owner | 23:05 |
| nigtv | Jeruvy I'm finding it very strange that it passes this test, which I suppose could only take 20 minutes to read the size of the drive and the partition table, but it does both on 3 different computers without a snag or anything, and the harddrive is silent as it ever has been, as soon as I get this live cd burned I'll try fsck though | 23:05 |
| Sabioso | Hello, I'm here to talk about ubuntu philosophically, and the word's Bantu context. | 23:06 |
| Chelsea | Hey, I have a problem with my Acer Aspire One, OS - Ubuntu (Karmic). My cursor randomly froze after i left it sleeping for about an hour. It did this before, but i just resterted (Assuming it was a problem with X ) and it was fine. I've restarted like loads and it's still stuck. The keyboard still works, as does a USB mouse. Could anyone help me? :) Thanks for your time. | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | clark3934: yes you can mount them based on UUID even if they are usb conected. | 23:07 |
| meway | actionparsnip same error | 23:07 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, In order for it work I need to install in this order kernel-source modaliases glx? | 23:07 |
| LJR | Sabioso, this is a support channel. If you just want to chat then you need to go to #ubuntu_offtopic | 23:07 |
| Sabioso | Ubuntu is not a Linux distribution, it is about the common good. | 23:07 |
| Swiatecki | Hi all - Can any one assist me in getting my Lenovo R61i's TrackPad to do scroling? I have tried http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrolling-with-thinkpads-trackpoint-in.html without success | 23:07 |
| nigtv | Chelsea freezes where? | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | clark3934: not sure what permissions you would want/need the ntfs-3g homepage has examples of what umask/dmask/fmask options to use for different situations. | 23:07 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, I have a Thinkpad r61i I'm on now. | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: shouldnt do, just add the ppa then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:07 |
| Sabioso | LJR: Okay, where is the topical channel for Ubuntu as apparently it has been hijacked? | 23:07 |
| Sabioso | *ubuntu | 23:08 |
| Chelsea | It freezes at the login screen, in the centre | 23:08 |
| LJR | !ot | Sambioso | 23:08 |
| ubottu | Sambioso: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | meway: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade then run the command# | 23:08 |
| Vimes | oh damn, I found t he Windows 7 installation files (had them on a seperate harddrive :D) but ..I can't burn them as this Live CD is currently using the drive, is it possible to "transfere" the live CD to the memory or somethin? | 23:08 |
| Sabioso | Why not ##ubuntu? That would make more sense. | 23:08 |
| Swiatecki | LJR, do you have trackpoint scrolling? | 23:09 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, I see, very nice. Tomorrow morning I will read all the doc into detail. Ubuntu is becoming very interesting. :) | 23:09 |
| Sabioso | LJR: How can I join ##ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| paulus68 | usr13: any reason why I can't update my repositories | 23:09 |
| LJR | No, but I'm on Debian. If you give me just a second I'll look up the simple way of doing it... | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: i use the ppa and run the 190 driver on my onboard 6150, works fine | 23:09 |
| LJR | Sambioso: there isn't a room like that. | 23:10 |
| Sabioso | LJR: I will try #ubuntu-offtopic, but it seems assinine for a Linux distribution to be taking over what would a channel for discussion among speakers of the Bantu language. | 23:10 |
| mka | Sabioso, join #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:10 |
| Sabioso | Okay | 23:10 |
| deviad | I have 8600 in this macbook pro | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: will be fine | 23:10 |
| mka | hahahaha | 23:10 |
| Chelsea | With regards to my frozen cursor problem, would it be worth running a repair from an ubuntu live CD? Or Reinstalling? | 23:10 |
| meway | actionparsnip same error | 23:11 |
| paulus68 | whezn trying to update I get this error Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' how do I solve this | 23:11 |
| LJR | Sambioso, freenode is a server for OpenSource software. Most Linux Distro chats are here. if you're looking for discussion on something other than Linux then Freenode's many linux distro chats probably aren't the place for you. | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | meway: its in the main repo | 23:11 |
| LJR | Sambioso, freenode isn't the only server. There are other servers with #ubuntu on them. | 23:11 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, I got an error 1 | 23:11 |
| meway | ActionParsnip: what is? | 23:12 |
| nisstyre65 | Chelsea; reinstall your login manager packages : ) | 23:12 |

| nisstyre65 | but | 23:12 |
| Chelsea | nisstyre65, also, the curson remains frozen after login (Thanks for your help) | 23:12 |
| paulus68 | mka: whezn trying to update I get this error Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' how do I solve this | 23:12 |
| nisstyre65 | oh | 23:13 |
| clark3934 | Dr_Willis: Thanks a ton. I've been reading every thread out there, but it seems so many are out of date. | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: then you'll need to get those nailed | 23:13 |
| nisstyre65 | okay, you can login with the shell? | 23:13 |
| meway | ActionParsnip: may have worked one sec lol | 23:13 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, what do you mean? | 23:13 |
| mka | paulus68, "cat /etc/resolv.conf | pastebinit" | 23:13 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, I simply can't remember how to do it at this moment, but there is a way that you can scroll via holding the middle mouse button. | 23:13 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, I run apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-185? | 23:13 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, I'll keep looking... | 23:13 |
| Chelsea | nisstyre65, loging in isn't my problem, I don't think. If i put my laptop to sleep then wake it again, i can move the cursor for about two seconds, then it freezes again | 23:14 |
| nisstyre65 | yeah, you're going to have to login with the console and gix it | 23:14 |
| nisstyre65 | *fix | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | deviad: can you pastebin the error please | 23:14 |
| mka | paulus68, are you behind proxy? | 23:14 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, You do understand that, in Linux, we usually use the middle mouse button for copy-paste? (Primarily in CLI's) | 23:14 |
| paulus68 | mka: no I am not | 23:14 |
| Swiatecki | LJR, thanks alot :D | 23:15 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: seems there are some errors on the ntfs partition, and rather than telling me, it just doesn't show the resize option | 23:15 |
| mka | paulus68, ok "cat /etc/resolv.conf | pastebinit" | 23:15 |
| dooglus_ | I'll fix the errors in windows and try again | 23:15 |
| shawn146 | how come my sound is very crackly? | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dooglus_: then find a different guide on resizing, it can be done | 23:15 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, You read this? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint | 23:15 |
| nintnint | OKAY GUYS NOW I'M on Xubuntu and I still can't connect to any wireless network, and as far as I can tell I have successfully installed the drivers for the D-Link DWA-130 in ndiswrapper. | 23:15 |
| dooglus_ | ActionParsnip: "Before resizing an NTFS, ntfsresize makes a filesystem consistency check and it refuses to progress, giving the above messages, if it found errors" | 23:15 |
| paulus68 | mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m15aab55a | 23:15 |
| meway | ActionParsnip: it pops up and than closes right away | 23:15 |
| DasEi | mka : pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf does it | 23:15 |
| Chelsea | shawn146, it may be a driver/soundcard compatibility problem | 23:16 |
| Swiatecki | LJR, I do - but im really addicted to middle button scrolling. Yes I have tried it but with out any success :( | 23:16 |
| DartmanX | i am victorious! I have installed the dlink GWL-D510 using ndiswrapper and its not dog slow! | 23:16 |
| Chelsea | shawn146, I'm not really great with card/ubuntu stuff though | 23:16 |
| iKernel | DartmanX, mircale | 23:16 |
| shawn146 | oh ok | 23:16 |
| shawn146 | i am using a c-media 5.1 surround sound card | 23:16 |
| LJR | Swiatecki, ok. I just wanted to make sure you knew that. There will come a day when you use that - a lot. Anywho - still looking. | 23:16 |
| Chelsea | shawn146, try googling for your sound card and ubuntu to see if snyone else has had the same problem | 23:16 |
| iKernel | How can I get rid of flashplayer-nonfree, which is the windows version of flashplayer wrapped using ndispluginwrapper, and instead install the native linux version? the windows version is giving me too many problems | 23:16 |
| deviad | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m822631b | 23:17 |

| Wilabob | Hi, guys. I'm having problems writing to a mac os x extended external had drive. I can read but when I try to put something onto it from ubuntu it says the drive is read only. In OS X I right clicked it, clicked get info. And changed the permissions so that "everyone" can read and write.. But I still can't write onto it under ubuntu... HELP! | 23:25 |
