| dan123 | i need an answer in 1 minute | 00:00 |
| dan123 | i gotta go fast | 00:00 |
| jcc1 | usertwo: generally the mfg has to support it or some else has to have hacked it | 00:00 |
| dan123 | i installed the edubuntu interface on my ubuntu and now i can't change it back | 00:01 |
| faileas | usertwo: depends on the device. Lots of people use tftp tho | 00:01 |
| teratoma | how can i make a usb key that will boot a Macbook Pro ? | 00:01 |
| Maletor | In Ubuntu 9.10 when I'm scaling a window I don't want to see an orange transparent symbol of what the new size will look like, I just want the window to scale there automatically, a la Mac OS X. What can I do to fix this, do I need CompizConfig because I have it. | 00:01 |
| jcc1 | dan123: can't you use synaptic to uninstall it? | 00:01 |
| dan123 | how, i cant find it | 00:01 |
| usertwo | jcc1: thanks...thats what i was just thinking. may have to take it back to the mobile broadband provider and get them to update it for me. cant belive though that 'manipulating' firmware cant be done in linux | 00:02 |
| edbian | Maletor, yeah, it's in compizconfig: go look at the resize plugin :) | 00:02 |
| faileas | dan123: sudo apt-get remove edubuntu-desktop; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' should work drom command line | 00:02 |
| jcc1 | dan123: or can't you check on the edubuntu forums? | 00:02 |
| erkan^ | I miss Ubuntu very much :( | 00:02 |
| jcc1 | dan123: try putting edubuntu in the search window and "completely" uninstalling all the edubuntu apps | 00:03 |

| hyperstream | Karmic Kola: First, log out of your normal account, which we’ll term myrealusername. Login as root. Create a new, temporary user, using the –encrypt-home flag to adduser. Use the same password as your current user account., <--- how do i login as root ? i thought this was disabled? | 00:03 |
| usertwo | faileas: can i use tftp on a usb modem? | 00:03 |
| Maletor | thanks edbian, it works it's about 99.9% smooth | 00:04 |
| jcc1 | usertwo: only if the modem supports it | 00:04 |
| PatrickD` | how do I get bluetooth working? I just can't get it going at all in karmic | 00:04 |
| jcc1 | usertwo: generally that's for routers and such, the hardware has to run a tftp server | 00:04 |
| PatrickD` | I can see my bluetooth device with lsusb, but hci* can't find it | 00:04 |
| faileas | teratoma: i think either way of doing a bootable usb key should work with a macbook. it isn't that different hardwarewise | 00:05 |
| donvito- | what is netbook remix? | 00:05 |
| jcc1 | usertwo: it probably can be done, but that is some serious hacking, not quick | 00:06 |
| edbian | Maletor, good! :) | 00:06 |
| faileas | donvito-: its a version for netbooks. it has a simpler interface designed for small screens | 00:06 |
| usertwo | jcc1: thanks anyway for your help. | 00:06 |
| donvito- | something else more? | 00:06 |
| donvito- | or less? | 00:06 |
| jcc1 | usertwo: Good Luck | 00:06 |
| yeht | hey, does anyone know a command line spectral analyser that exports images? | 00:07 |
| PatrickD` | yeht, heh? you can do that in a cli? I thought that required hardware :) | 00:07 |
| bastid_raZor | !root | hyperstream .. you should follow a guide on the forums | 00:08 |
| ubottu | hyperstream .. you should follow a guide on the forums: 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 | 00:08 |
| yeht | PatrickD`, dont all computers require hardware? | 00:08 |
| musictoto | nice matrix quote :) | 00:08 |
| PatrickD` | I mean, spectral analyser as more hardware :) | 00:08 |
| yeht | nah | 00:08 |
| yeht | its just software that graphs the spectral of audio files | 00:09 |
| yeht | audacity can do it | 00:09 |
| usertwo | jcc1: no worries. its midnight now in the uk, too late to call my friend. she is a unix goddess; if it can be done she will know how (at least in unix!)...bye | 00:09 |

| azrael_ | yo hyperstream got links to upgrades? | 00:13 |
| Out_Cold | or go ask the manufacturer for support | 00:13 |
| faileas | teratoma: is it set to boot from USB? | 00:13 |
| bluebaron | Out_Cold, the manufacturer says no usb | 00:13 |
| teratoma | has anyone here actually booted a macbook pro with a USB key ? no theories pleasee | 00:13 |
| hyperstream | azrael_, no sorry, use your synaptic software manager | 00:13 |
| bluebaron | Out_Cold, bah ... no linux | 00:14 |

| azrael_ | wat should use for seach | 00:14 |
| faileas | teratoma: no? | 00:14 |
| bastid_raZor | hyperstream: also google encrypt home ubuntu ,several forums posts/guides on howto | 00:14 |

| jcc1 | :-) google is your friend, too, I see | 00:16 |
| teratoma | faileas: ive tried all that. that probably works with MacOSX installed on an external hard drive. it really doesn't work on a usb key and ubuntu. I really can't find any evidence on the internet of anyone booting a mac with an ubuntu usb stick without using a boot cdrom | 00:16 |
| burzki | !chainload | 00:17 |
| faileas | teratoma: that WOULD be odd, but if macs have some specific oddity with that, i don't think i have any clue to where to start | 00:17 |
| === erkan^ is now known as erkan^brb | ||
| jcc1 | teratoma: have you set up the key as a bootable drive? I know that's a dumb question, but best to start at the beginning. If so, and it won't boot, I would try mac forums | 00:18 |

| duesenklipper | Hi everybody - I'm installing a Ubuntu Server 9.10 and am trying to bring up a md-device (two discs in RAID1) that was created by a previous debian installation | 00:19 |
| PatrickD` | now try to remove the defaults :) | 00:19 |
| azrael_ | 1 day i hope to be the one answering questions rather then asking them | 00:20 |
| teratoma | jcc1: i have. i am a big linux nerd. i have installed and booted many non mac machines with debian and ubuntu in my life. i can't get it to work with a macbook pro. everyone tells me to read install usb stick install howtos, thats not the issue | 00:20 |
| duesenklipper | the installer created a seemingly valid mdadm.conf, and /proc/mdstat seems fine | 00:20 |
| guitar-maniac | Hello! i uninstalled wine, and deleted the .wine folder in my homefolder, but it still shows on my applications and all the windows softwares that i installed. | 00:20 |
| armence | PatrickD`, Thanks | 00:20 |
| CokeNCode | hey guys, I just bought a netbook (no cdrom drive), and I just realised, I don't know how to install an OS, without a cdrom drive | 00:20 |
| faileas | teratoma: hmm, could be that intel macs would only boot off GUID partitions, but that makes no sense | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | guitar-maniac: the menu items are defined in another sub directory in the users home dir. | 00:20 |
| nullkuhl | how to close X , ( exit gnome ) ?? | 00:20 |
| tos_ | how do i setup ubuntu Cloud!?!? | 00:20 |
| duesenklipper | i can't mount /dev/md0 however, nor can I fsck it... fsck says "device or resource busy", but it's not mounted nor used anywhere else | 00:20 |
| alokito | guitar-maniac, u can manually delete them from Applications menu | 00:20 |
| azrael_ | mount it | 00:20 |
| faileas | CokeNCode: unetbootin + usb key | 00:20 |

| teratoma | faileas: i tried unetbootin too. | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | alkisg: Hmm.. wonder how those 2 differ.... | 00:21 |
| faileas | CokeNCode: if you want a UNR install - grab the img and the USB write tool | 00:21 |
| nullkuhl | can any one tell me how to close X , ( exit gnome ) ?? | 00:22 |
| guitar-maniac | I removed wine using the add/remove. ok i'll look at there alkisg & Dr_Willis | 00:22 |

| faileas | teratoma: eh. if it won't boot off a real install, a unetbootin one won't help | 00:22 |
| faileas | CokeNCode: no | 00:22 |

| anon_ | general Q, has anyone compiled kismet recently? | 00:24 |
| CokeNCode | faileas, but, to be fair, I don't think it's an "xp" question. If i go into an XP channel and ask how to install XP on ubuntu in virtual box, they'll say that's an ubuntu question | 00:24 |
| CokeNCode | and to be fair | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | lunix: for gparted to work with ntfs - you have to install teh 'ntfsprogs' (or ntfs-progs) package befor starting gparted | 00:24 |
| CokeNCode | they're right | 00:24 |
| bastid_raZor | nullkuhl: which version of ubuntu are you on? | 00:24 |
| Out_Cold | evon, most will say... try an advanced search for lan or multiplayer or network | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ntfsprogs | 00:24 |
| ubwe | anyone knows how to make work my webcam in ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| ubottu | ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 280 kB, installed size 728 kB | 00:24 |
| jcc1 | nullkuhl: you can use the <ctrl><alt>F 2 3 4 5 or 6 keys to get a terminal and just leave x running | 00:24 |
| faileas | CokeNCode: ask in ##windows. I'd point out virtualbox does not support usb boot as well | 00:24 |
| CokeNCode | because, virtual box is software for ubuntu, and xp is running in that software ... i think that makes it an ubuntu support question | 00:24 |

| lunix | Thanks a lot Dr_Willis :) Ill try that | 00:25 |
| jcc1 | nullkuhl: or kill it from that term if you want it down completely | 00:25 |
| anom01y | hi, how do I activate grub boot options when I reboot ? | 00:25 |
| ubwe | musictoto i will take a look, thank you very much | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Installing xp in virtualbox -> install vbox.. mount the iso in vbox configs.. boot vbox machine.. | 00:25 |
| faileas | tos_: use your package manager - synaptic i believe. | 00:25 |
| anom01y | I have to enter a command | 00:25 |
| musictoto | ubwe: you're welcome | 00:25 |
| anon_ | out_cold: i'm struggling to get the newest version on to my computer | 00:25 |
| nullkuhl | jcc1,bastid_raZor: ok sorry it worked,(/etc/init.d/gdm stop) but now i tried using my user and pass to login console , and it fails | 00:25 |
| evon | out_cold: how do i do an advanced search in synaptic package manager? | 00:26 |
| faileas | CokeNCode: i'd note, i'd happily answer the question on ##windows | 00:26 |
| Out_Cold | evon, the search button not the input bar | 00:26 |
| jcc1 | nullkuhl: odd, it should work just fine. It does on mine | 00:26 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, by building or repos? | 00:26 |
| faileas | tos_: i can't seem to find that on apt for some reason tho | 00:26 |
| alkisg | CokeNCode: just mount the .iso to virtualbox... where's your problem? | 00:26 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, you have all your dev files installed? | 00:26 |
| anon_ | out_cold: to the best of my knowledge | 00:27 |
| Out_Cold | what are your errors? | 00:27 |
| nullkuhl | jcc1: ok how to stop x from loading | 00:28 |
| guitar-maniac | the wine files went to a folder called other at my applications, i tried to right click => edit menus and delete the others but nothing happened.. | 00:28 |
| nullkuhl | nullkuhl: like disable it from startup | 00:28 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, what are your errors? | 00:28 |
| burzki | wildcherry, thats more lucid appropriate #ubuntu+1 .. but no, there is no xtra space, that is the problem | 00:29 |
| faileas | tos_: also, if its specific to that cd, you'd need to add the cd as a source with aptcd | 00:29 |
| alkisg | guitar-maniac: you can just delete it manually, with nautilus. You might need to logoff to see the effects. | 00:29 |
| pting | is there a better way of obtaining a timestamp of a file besides awking ls output? | 00:30 |
| anon_ | out_cold: i'm still trying to figure out what step is next, i havn't even gotten to compiling yet | 00:30 |
| guitar-maniac | alkisg: i relogged myself in but nothing, i checked the properties of hose files and it says the path lead to .wine folder the one i just manually deleted | 00:30 |
| lunixx | Dr_Willis Thanks a lot. Installing ntfsprogs did the trick :D | 00:30 |
| alkisg | guitar-maniac: did you delete the .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications? | 00:31 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, well i will re-configure with you... do you have build-essentials installed? | 00:31 |
| CokeNCode | thanks guys, #vbox was the way to go | 00:31 |
| guitar-maniac | alkisg: oh, i just deleted the .wine, i'll check that one out | 00:31 |
| jcc1 | nullkuhl: that is a good question! Up until today (I just upgraded a couple of days ago) I figured /etc/inittab file, but ubuntu must have a new way starting with 9.10 | 00:31 |

| thotheolh | Hi... does anyone know how to make desktop links for apps ? | 00:34 |
| Fezzler | After upgrade to 9.10, my hard drive set up seems to be acting funny. Anyone knowledgable about HD. Scan, swap file, etc. | 00:34 |
| MenZa | thotheolh: Drag it from your applications menu to your desktop. | 00:35 |
| Fezzler | thotheolh>> System/Preference/Main Menu | 00:35 |
| thotheolh | It's a java Jar file | 00:35 |
| thotheolh | I made an app | 00:35 |
| Out_Cold | thotheolh, you just link to the command that it uses | 00:36 |
| MenZa | thotheolh: Right-Click your desktop → Create Launcher | 00:36 |
| thotheolh | I tried to create a launcher with the command but it doesn't work | 00:36 |
| MenZa | What command, specifically? | 00:36 |
| azrael_ | hey really dumb question | 00:37 |
| azrael_ | wats the irc channel for /b/ | 00:37 |
| Out_Cold | expect a really dumb answer | 00:37 |
| * cookie sleep | 00:38 | |
| thotheolh | the command is java -jar xxxxxxx.jar | 00:38 |
| thotheolh | it's to launch the required jar file | 00:38 |
| gdaa_ | is this channel getting hit like ##linux did? | 00:38 |
| Out_Cold | gdaa_, it's a net split... happens often | 00:38 |
| MenZa | So the command you want is java -jar /path/to/jarfile.jar, thotheolh | 00:38 |
| MenZa | azrael_: Please, none of this here. | 00:38 |

| remoteCTRL3 | Out_Cold: pdg1 darthanubis ok guys i installed tor button in firefox, whcih doesnt work as it apparently needs a proxy called polipo running, i installed that one, did the configs according to soem tor faq but all i get is a non working test button (still asking me for polipo, also if i tell it NOT to use polipo) and some 504 http errors stating connection refused | 00:44 |

| faileas | pdg1: eh, generally you shouldn't need to mess around with fstab manually | 00:44 |

| bastid_raZor | !fstab | pdg1 a good howto here | 00:45 |
| ubottu | pdg1 a good howto here: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:45 |

| bastid_raZor | Fezzler: if you want swap to be used more frequently look at swappiness on: | 00:50 |
| bastid_raZor | !swap | Fezzler | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Fezzler: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 00:50 |
| seandiddy | cant figure out smb shares to my backend | 00:51 |

| seandiddy | at one time i'd actually copy the video's and music to both /var/lib/mythtv/music directories | 00:51 |
| vfw | Fezzler: If you issue swapon without specifying a type 82 partition, it will more than likely fail, and if your system is already using the one and only available type 82 partition for swap, well, there will be nothing to do in the first place. | 00:52 |
| faileas | Fezzler: rule of thumb is swap needs to be at least as much as your ram unless you hybernate | 00:52 |
| quickvfr | It also appears that the screen saver/power monitor off after 10 minutes is also failing... | 00:52 |

| azrael_ | ok that didn't work | 01:09 |

| Guest60498 | I have gedit it does none of those things | 01:11 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, you need to realize that the command line is the easiest and quickest way to do anything you want | 01:11 |

| darthanubis | !ask | corecode | 01:12 |
| ubottu | corecode: 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. :-) | 01:12 |
| Hydrosis | Guest60498: gedit, the basic text editor in Ubuntu, detects the formatting of many file tyopes and colors them accordingly, AFTER you save with the proper extension. | 01:12 |
| corecode | darthanubis: u dud | 01:12 |
| Infer_R3d | Epinky: Thanks for the advice I will take a look at tclsh | 01:12 |

| mezimezim | hi there: the nm-applet (network applet) has disappeared from my desktop -- without any obvious cause | 01:12 |
| corecode | my alternate install is stuck right at the end at "finalizing the installation" at step 26% "setting users and passwords..." | 01:12 |
| llua | /rb | 01:12 |
| Infer_R3d | And sorry for the messy post I will use the web site next time | 01:12 |
| pdg1 | corecode: it's stuck? | 01:12 |
| porter1 | Guest60498: It also does tab completion :) | 01:12 |
| corecode | pdg1: yes, doesn't move along | 01:12 |
| corecode | pdg1: can switch virtual consoles tho | 01:12 |
| epinky | Guest60498: gedit should suffice but you can try emacs | 01:12 |
| pdg1 | oic... it's a VM | 01:13 |
| Guest60498 | o that it does, on windows I use codeblocks++ and it's really nice it highlights the ending and opening parentheses and brackets, ilke when you select one, it will highlight the other | 01:13 |
| mezimezim | and IT IS in the list of programs that start at boot up -- I have to do Alt F2 and type nm-applet at every boot up -- anyone has a clue how to fix this?? | 01:13 |
| anon_ | out_cold: did all the dev. files such as libpcap have to be installed to the kismet dir.? | 01:13 |
| matelko | Is boot manager allways stored inside MBR or it can be on other partitions? Thank you. | 01:13 |
| pdg1 | well mostly I'd say check the disk | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: for an iso file here - i right click -> open with 'archive mounter' and it mounts it. | 01:13 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, no | 01:13 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, lm-sensors only gives me coretemps. I lost fan temp readings once 9.10 came out. It has to do with lm-sensors not keeping up withthe kernel change, and mobo specs not keeping up with the newer kernel. you are more than likely seeing the same thing | 01:13 |

| Guest65164 | how to correct the monitor refresh rate in ubuntu 8.10 ? | 01:14 |

| anon_ | out_cold: oh forgot, thanks | 01:14 |
| Maletor | darthanubis: my fans are 100% and my cpu temp is ??? (w/o going into BIOS) | 01:14 |

| Maletor | darthanubis: it should be doing that already... also there has got to be some way i can read the temp of my 4 cores | 01:15 |
| DVA5912 | !bunzip | 01:15 |
| vfw | DVA5912: From http, yes, wget should work for you. | 01:15 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, Evn with working lm-sensors, lm-sensors never did control fan speeds, only gave readings | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DVA5912: that ciommand worked here. | 01:15 |
| DVA5912 | i know :) | 01:15 |

| DVA5912 | just performed it. how do i extract bzip files | 01:15 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: well i wasnt aware that that was a crappy hack since mozilla provide it on their homepage, kinda awkward i have to say, having to tamper with a plugin that much and finally enabling the whole crap via a completely different method anyways... | 01:15 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, I used gkrellm to read my temps | 01:15 |

| IdahoEv | Can someone remind me how to pass an environment variable through sudo, so that the sudo command runs with that variable set? | 01:19 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, and you need to run "make install" as sudo.. | 01:19 |
| Xfact | DVA5912: that means second is right... you are 'very professional human'... | 01:19 |

| alkisg1 | IdahoEv: sudo LANG=en program | 01:20 |
| anon_ | out_cold: yeah im waiting for "make" to finish right now before i can run "make install" | 01:20 |
| IdahoEv | alkisg1: muchas gracias | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Tiders: depends.. perhaps yes. | 01:20 |
| === alkisg1 is now known as alkisg | ||
| Tiders | Dr_Willis, Depends on what | 01:20 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, sudo make install | 01:21 |
| jcc1 | IdahoEv: you can set your environment variable and then run sudo, it carries your environment (unless you are running sudo -i , I assume) | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Tiders: depends on the exact device of course.. and the vm | 01:21 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: one more i got: how do i know if ff somehow bypasses this tor thing now or is basically EVERYTHING being passed through there? meaning like also irc? | 01:21 |
| mitkok | Hey, guys. Do you know an app that shows what key I press ? | 01:21 |

| azrael_ | ok any one know anything about mounting | 01:21 |
| azrael_ | command line is not working for me | 01:21 |

| Maletor | darthanubis: gkrellm does not add sensors unfortuantely. so as long as lm-sensors can't keep up with the kernel then i can't get my cpu temp right? | 01:21 |
| vfw | mitkok: gtypist | 01:21 |
| darthanubis | remoteCTRL, you have to set up each app yourself | 01:21 |
| anon_ | out_cold: well kismet is up and running | 01:22 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, gkrellm does | 01:22 |
| IdahoEv | jcc1: that wasn't working for me - any env var i set at the command line wasn't available to the command being run as sudo. However, alkisg1's suggestion did it. | 01:22 |
| vfw | azrael_: What is not working? | 01:22 |
| vfw | azrael_: man mount | 01:22 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: just like ordinary proxy settings? | 01:22 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, diid you run snesors-detect? | 01:22 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: did you use "sudo mount /dev..." | 01:22 |
| darthanubis | remoteCTRL, exactly | 01:22 |
| Maletor | i have run sensors-detect in the past | 01:22 |
| Tiders | burzki, So it will work with other apps and sync and stuff? | 01:22 |
| azrael_ | termail mount command is not mounting | 01:22 |
| azrael_ | idk if i can be more clear | 01:22 |
| azrael_ | yes | 01:23 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, and it whines about the drivers (K10Temp) not being written yet... | 01:23 |
| azrael_ | and it did not mount | 01:23 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, are you loading the modules sensors-detect gave you to load upon boot? | 01:23 |
| Ookami | while using Disk usage Analyzer, i see "Used: 60GB , Available: 43GB", then i click "scan file system" .. and find the root file "/" usage to be "100%" .. which gives me a pop up to clean the trash and was the start of the problem at the first place .. what's going on ^^ ?? :D ?? | 01:23 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: sure you can be more clear, what command exactly did you run? | 01:23 |
| Out_Cold | cuz azrael_'s an idiot... his commands are wrong | 01:23 |
| vfw | azrael_: You need two things; 1) A mountable device & 2) A mount point (which is simply an empty directory) | 01:23 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, well maybe it gave you none. If that is the case, your screwed | 01:23 |
| burzki | Tiders, regular ipods, yes, not iphone/itouch | 01:23 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, right i am screwed :) it gave me none! | 01:23 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: and sudo, only root can mount | 01:23 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, sorry man | 01:24 |
| Phill_ | hi everyone | 01:24 |
| vfw | azrael_: What command did you use? And what error (if any) did you receive in return? | 01:24 |
| Tiders | burzki, itouch is what I need to work | 01:24 |
| rahduke | Hi phill! | 01:24 |
| azrael_ | thank agian for you 2 cent out cold | 01:24 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, there is stuff online dating a year old about getting functionality for this, but there is none! there is nothing i can do right? | 01:24 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, what kind of chip you got? | 01:24 |
| azrael_ | error file not found | 01:24 |
| Phill_ | Have anyone here tried Adobe air on ubuntu 9.10 ? | 01:24 |
| mitkok | vfw: isn't gtypist for learning how to type | 01:24 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, AMD 64 945 3.0GHZ | 01:24 |
| azrael_ | and i used sudo mount -o loop ~file | 01:24 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, i'm goin gto fish google for you, see what I can find | 01:24 |
| Ookami | I have lots of entries in GRUB ,, how to clean it up .. Ubuntu karmic ?? anyone .. | 01:24 |
| vfw | azrael_: Ok what command did you use, (exactly)? | 01:24 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, Phenom? | 01:24 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, thank you, you are godly | 01:25 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop ~ iso | 01:25 |
| vfw | mitkok: Yes | 01:25 |
| Out_Cold | it's a useless cause.... i typed out the command for azrael_ to use and he still can't figure out how to copy andd paste | 01:25 |
| Maletor | phenom II | 01:25 |
| rahduke | Ookami: you probably just have many kernel versions | 01:25 |
| azrael_ | out cold stfu | 01:25 |
| burzki | Tiders, thats what i have too. what are you after, music .. ?? | 01:25 |
| Ookami | rahduke, exactly .. can i clean that up ? | 01:25 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: humm... well that would have been the advantage of thorbutton; not to have to do/undo this setting all the time, for tor for sure isnt fit for downloading purposes... | 01:25 |
| rahduke | Ookami: i like to keep em just in case a new kernel version is messed up | 01:25 |
| azrael_ | you told me to do the same thing 6 time after i told you it didn't work | 01:25 |
| jeffd | Phill_, I'm using Air and it works fine. | 01:25 |
| Tiders | burzki, Just syncing | 01:25 |
| rahduke | Ookami: i really don't know never looked | 01:25 |
| mitkok | vfw: I'm looking for an app to show what key I typed, f.e using libnotify. I' thinking about making screencast | 01:25 |
| Ookami | rahduke, alright thanks ^^ | 01:25 |
| Tiders | burzki, Putting music on it basically thats it | 01:25 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, well maybe you are typing the wrong things | 01:25 |
| iceroot | azrael_: you are using mount wrong | 01:25 |
| darthanubis | remoteCTRL, that hack button would not have otrified xchat,pidgin etc. Just Firefox | 01:25 |
| bastid_raZor | !iso | azrael_ | 01:25 |
| ubottu | azrael_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 01:26 |
| jcc1 | IdahoEv: I should have been clearer, you need to "export LANG=en" and that would probably do it, too | 01:26 |
| darthanubis | remoteCTRL, but test with vidallia | 01:26 |
| anon_ | out_cold: well kismet is opening which is a good sign but i dont think its running right | 01:26 |
| burzki | Tiders, not simple.. i assume you're jailbroken? | 01:26 |
| IdahoEv | jcc1: yeah, export wasn't working either, at least not on this box. | 01:26 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: which war basically what i was lloking for as i am using otr for pidgin and co anyways... | 01:26 |
| vfw | mitkok: Sorry, I do not know what you are trying to do. | 01:26 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: you really should show us exactly what you typed so we can help | 01:26 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, you need to edit the config file... it's ummm..... /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf | 01:26 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop ~ iso | 01:27 |
| Tiders | burzki, No its my aunts ipod she runs Xubuntu now Im supposed to get her iPod to sync she wont jailbreak it | 01:27 |
| azrael_ | doesn't work | 01:27 |
| mitkok | vfw: something like http://stephendeken.net/software/keycastr/ | 01:27 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, maybe you need to point to a file instead of just ~ iso | 01:27 |
| burzki | Tiders, and whats your itouch firmware .. v1 or v2+ | 01:27 |
| burzki | Tiders, forget it. first step is to jailbreak .. | 01:27 |
| Tiders | burzki, Well she just bought it today | 01:27 |
| christopheb | Hi, I installed fglrx-kernel-source package but have no fglrx modules | 01:27 |
| Tiders | burzki, It HAS to be jailbroekn to work with Linux? | 01:28 |
| unop | IdahoEv, sudo -E command | 01:28 |
| burzki | Tiders, yes | 01:28 |
| Tiders | burzki, Why? | 01:28 |
| jcc1 | how about "sudo mount - o loop name.iso /mnt/<dir_name> | 01:28 |
| burzki | Tiders, a Little homework for you .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone | 01:28 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, it's in his Desktop so not quite | 01:28 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop ~ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso | 01:29 |
| geo | olá alguem por ca? | 01:29 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, and he can't spell desktop | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: you are using ~ wrongly | 01:29 |
| Ookami | i want to delete other users files in home directory ,, and i got "The folder ".compiz" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it." and lots of other similar errors .. what's that .. how to delete it ? (( the user it self is deleted )) | 01:29 |
| jcc1 | well approximation. I don't know where it is or where he wants to mount it or the name of the iso, etc | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: and you are missing 1/2 the command. | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | 01:29 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 01:29 |
| azrael_ | it the half i been given | 01:29 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, i tried..... but he's stubborn | 01:29 |
| geo | !wpa | 01:29 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 01:29 |
| Tiders | burzki, So even to do it in a virtual box Id need to jailbreak it? | 01:29 |
| vfw | azrael_: You need to give the name of the iso image and you have to say where you want to mount it. | 01:30 |
| alkisg | azrael_: WHY do you want to mount the iso? What do you want to do with it? | 01:30 |
| burzki | Tiders, apples firmware has everyhting encrypted. its a lot of work | 01:30 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, have you turned on CoolnQuiet in the BIOS yet? | 01:30 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, i gave you this command sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/filename.iso /media/disk | 01:30 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, yes indeed | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: sudo mkdir /media/ISO then 'sudo mount -o loop /path/to/the/whatever.iso /media/ISO ' | 01:30 |
| azrael_ | upgrade | 01:30 |
| azrael_ | from 8.04 to 9.10 | 01:30 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, had to ask | 01:30 |
| Maletor | :) | 01:30 |
| Ziber | Is it possible to have a softlink of a file with different read/write permissions than the actual file itself? | 01:30 |
| vfw | azrael_: Type the exact name of the iso image and specify a directory on which to mount it. | 01:30 |
| burzki | Tiders, yup. you might poke around the forums for something new if someone has worked it out yet, but ntmk | 01:30 |
| vfw | azrael_: man mount | 01:30 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266407 | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder what added this 'mount with archiver tool' item to my gnome menus... | 01:30 |
| jcc1 | Out_Cold: you are right, that will work, as long as he gives the exact filename | 01:30 |
| Tiders | burzki, Wow... | 01:31 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, people with that chip are coming up empty with ml-sensors | 01:31 |
| unop | Ookami, find ~ ! -user "$USER" -exec echo rm -v {} + # run this command first to get a list of files that will be deleted, if it's acceptable, remove the 'echo' and run the command again | 01:31 |
| unop | Ziber, no | 01:31 |
| azrael_ | ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso | 01:31 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, yea i know it'll work... he complains that it doesn't work because "file not found" i told him he can't spell | 01:31 |
| burzki | Tiders, the easies thing may be to dual boot her computer with a windows partition and run itunes from there .. i dont know | 01:31 |
| jcc1 | :-) | 01:31 |
| azrael_ | file name = ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso | 01:31 |
| alkisg | Out_Cold: do you know why azrael_ wants to mount the file? I can't imagine why... | 01:31 |
| Tiders | burzki, Can you even dual boot after Ubuntu is already installed | 01:31 |
| burzki | Tiders, yup. thats why i never bothered with it more on my own machine .. ;-| | 01:31 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, yes so am I 'driver to be written' | 01:32 |
| azrael_ | upgrade | 01:32 |
| Out_Cold | apparently to upgrade | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | alkisg: i was wondering that also.. You cant upgrade with the desktop cd..... | 01:32 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: you can not upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.10. you need to go to 8.10 then to 9.04 then to 9.10 | 01:32 |
| Ookami | unop, "find ~ ! -user "$USER" -exec echo rm -v {} + " ? | 01:32 |
| unop | Ookami, right | 01:32 |
| hyperstream | adduser: Could not find program named `ecryptfs-setup-private' in $PATH. | 01:32 |
| hyperstream | hmm | 01:32 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, sudo mkdir /media/iso | 01:32 |
| alkisg | azrael_: how? You can't upgrade with the desktop CD. | 01:32 |
| burzki | Tiders, you can, you would need to go back in and fix grub | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: you cant upgrade via a desktop cd either.. | 01:32 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: OK, now where is it located? you should type the entire location i.e. /home azael/Desktop/<filename> | 01:32 |
| darthanubis | Maletor, they are slow | 01:32 |
| Ziber | Is it possible to have a softlink of a file with different read/write permissions than the actual file itself? | 01:32 |
| Ookami | unop, or "find ~ ! -user "$USER" -exec echo rm -v {} + #" | 01:32 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/filename.iso /media/disk | 01:32 |
| epinky | azrael_: use the alternate CD | 01:32 |
| hyperstream | what would be causing this ? | 01:32 |
| unop | Ookami, same difference, the # doesn't matter | 01:32 |
| burzki | what version ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| Ookami | unop, no result ^^ | 01:32 |
| seandiddy | can't figure out filesharing for music and video on my mythbuntu backend | 01:33 |
| Tiders | burzki, Me? | 01:33 |
| burzki | Tiders, what version ubuntu? | 01:33 |
| vfw | azrael_: mkidr ubuntu-iso/ ; mount -o loop ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-iso/ | 01:33 |
| Maletor | darthanubis, (refer private message) also, they said they would include it in 2.6.33 | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | It would be faster to just upgrade directrly - and not use teh alt-cd also. thers to many updates you would just have to download i imageine. | 01:33 |
| seandiddy | recordings work | 01:33 |
| Tiders | burzki, Xubuntu 9.04 | 01:33 |
| burzki | Tiders, or your aunt | 01:33 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, how's it working for you? | 01:33 |
| unop | Ookami, is there a way you can copy these errors you get and put them on a pastebin? | 01:33 |
| geo | hi, i need some help | 01:34 |
| burzki | !grub | Tiders 9.04 uses grub legacy (grub1) | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Tiders 9.04 uses grub legacy (grub1): 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. | 01:34 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, assuming the iso is at ~/ which he claims it's in ~/Desktop | 01:34 |
| vfw | azrael_: mkidr ubuntu-iso/ ; mount -o loop Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-iso/ | 01:34 |
| Ookami | unop, mostly it's like this "Error removing file: Permission denied" | 01:34 |
| broomack | hello, somebody knows how to fix the amsn or pdigin, I can not connected with no even one of those | 01:35 |
| unop | Ookami, but what's the name of the file tho? | 01:35 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: or use "man mount" and there are examples there | 01:35 |
| vfw | azrael_: mkidr ~/ubuntu-iso/ ; mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ~/ubuntu-iso/ | 01:35 |
| geo | algume br aqui? ou pt? | 01:35 |
| burzki | Tiders, you could try itunes on wine first, worth a shot. it may run better than mine did. maybe a place to start | 01:35 |
| Ookami | i'm logged in from another use, .. and what to delete the "remaining" of another "deleted user" | 01:35 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: How's that? | 01:35 |
| unop | !br | geo | 01:35 |
| ubottu | geo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 01:35 |
| geo | ty | 01:35 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, looks great ;) | 01:35 |
| Tiders | burzki, WIne doesnt work in any programs such as crossover or Cedega? | 01:36 |
| Ookami | unop, this was when i try to delete "Documents" | 01:36 |
| Tiders | burzki, Itunes I mean | 01:36 |
| Ookami | unop, 'm logged in from another use, .. and what to delete the "remaining" of another "deleted user" | 01:36 |
| Out_Cold | except maybe the / on ~ubuntu-iso/ | 01:36 |
| Out_Cold | **~/** | 01:36 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: Yep... need to cover all the bases... | 01:36 |
| seandiddy | anyone know the command string for the mythbuntu frontend music settings to the backend server cyberanus and share /var/lib/mythtv/music as music | 01:36 |
| burzki | Tiders, ?? not familiar | 01:36 |
| Krabmeat1 | Hey are the words "terminal" and "Shell" interchangable... do they meat the same thing? | 01:36 |
| nullkuhl | -- am using karmic, how to edit my grub boot list ? | 01:36 |
| anon_ | out_cold: editing the .conf file right now, i thought there was more to edit so im double checking | 01:36 |
| azrael_ | grrr | 01:36 |
| Sunboy2 | Hello | 01:36 |
| remoteCTRL3 | darthanubis: ok i got it running with the phunny tor button also but maaaan is this slow :D | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Krabmeat1: they often are - but its niot really correct. | 01:37 |
| burzki | Tiders, i dont use any win apps | 01:37 |
| seandiddy | i thought smb://cyberanus/music | 01:37 |
| darthanubis | remoteCTRL, oh yeah, tor is not for speed | 01:37 |
| iceroot | Krabmeat1: no | 01:37 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: Having probs :-) | 01:37 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso /media/ | 01:37 |
| Sunboy2 | I have a question about gstreamer/sound drivers | 01:37 |
| broomack | using karming, how to make amsn or pidgin works? | 01:37 |
| unop | Ookami, oh, then. find /home/other_user ! -user "other_user" -exec echo rm -rv {} + | 01:37 |
| Krabmeat1 | thank you dr. | 01:37 |
| BoXis | hello | 01:37 |
| Tiders | burzki, Crossover and Cedega are Linux | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Krabmeat1: you can run many different 'termial emulator programs' such as xterm, rxvt, konsole gnome-terminal.. | 01:37 |
| nullkuhl | using karmic, how to edit my grub boot list ? | 01:37 |
| azrael_ | wat am i missing now? | 01:37 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso /media/ | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Krabmeat1: and you can also have different 'shells' that you run IN teh terminal. | 01:37 |
| vfw | azrael_: cd Desktop ; mkidr ubuntu-iso/ ; mount -o loop Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-iso/ | 01:37 |
| Ookami | unop, other_user = the name of the user ,, right | 01:37 |
| BoXis | does anybody know how to login as root in ubuntu, kinda new to this stuff, help? | 01:37 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: as many times as you've been told.. you seem more like a troll than an actual user in need of help | 01:38 |
| unop | Ookami, right, make sure you get that right | 01:38 |
| iceroot | azrael_: a correct mountpoint | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, you are missing the directory t mount to.... sudo mkdir /media/disk | 01:38 |
| burzki | Tiders, dont know em. i mean i dont use any windows apps, so no need for wine, crossover, etc | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: you make the directory you want to mount it to. ie: /media/isofile | 01:38 |
| alkisg | azrael_: you can just right click on the .iso and extract it's contents. Again, UPGRADE DOESN'T WORK with the desktop cd. | 01:38 |
| azrael_ | i was trying to mount in root | 01:38 |
| nullkuhl | using karmic, how to edit my grub boot list ? | 01:38 |
| zamba | anyone familiar with vlc in ubuntu and can tell me how i can get venc=x264 working? | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: 'mount in root' makes no sence. | 01:38 |
| Sunboy2 | I'm using Karmic and there seems to be a driver/codec fight between rhythmbox and other sound aps. When I get rhythmbox working, youtube is silent. When I get youtube working, rhythmbox forgets how to play mp3s | 01:38 |
| iceroot | azrael_: please read the manpage again and what ubottu and all the others here are telling you | 01:38 |
| mister_roboto | BoXis: ubuntu uses sudo instead of enabling root account | 01:38 |
| burzki | !grub2 | nullkuhl | 01:38 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: that won't work, as I'm sure you found out :-) | 01:38 |
| ubottu | nullkuhl: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:38 |
| azrael_ | yea | 01:39 |
| Out_Cold | i don't think he's a troll... just stubborn and rude | 01:39 |
| vfw | azrael_: mount | 01:39 |
| Krabmeat1 | Hey guys, how safe is ubuntu? Many people have told me it doesn't need an anti-virus, but that just blows my mind. | 01:39 |
| BoXis | mister_roboto:oohh, ah thanx. | 01:39 |
| iceroot | !virus | Krabmeat1 | 01:39 |
| ubottu | Krabmeat1: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:39 |
| azrael_ | yea and so are you out cold | 01:39 |
| eurythmia | w000 ! finally ... iPod Touch support! :D | 01:39 |
| Krabmeat1 | iceroot what does that mean. Thank you ubottu | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | Krabmeat1, it doesn't really.. not many people make viruses for linux and the virus needs sudo rights to take over... meaning it needs your password | 01:40 |
| iceroot | Krabmeat1: read the link | 01:40 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: viruses are not nearly as likely as on MS because most viruses are designed to exploit the MS OS, but you never know, check out clam | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | Krabmeat1, it's more likely that you will get hacked than infected.... | 01:40 |
| vfw | azrael_: Just mount it in an empty directory in your home ? | 01:40 |
| BoXis | goodnight all. | 01:40 |
| Krabmeat1 | ok reading the link guys. | 01:40 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso /media/ " how would i type that | 01:40 |
| Ookami | unop, "other_user" is not the name of a known user | 01:41 |
| seandiddy | the is a commercial antivirus software by lavasoft built for debian | 01:41 |
| iceroot | azrael_: hm | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Krabmeat1: the biggest danger to your system - is proberly the admin doing somnthing silly/stupid. :) | 01:41 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: there are linux viruses, they are just far rarer than MS and Mac viruses | 01:41 |
| Ookami | unop, which in my case is "test1" | 01:41 |
| aoden | can y'all refer me to a chat for more remedial/newbie ubuntu questions (i.e. how to format an ext'l drive)? | 01:41 |
| Krabmeat1 | Dr_Willis: that is quite likely while i am at the helm | 01:41 |
| azrael_ | sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso /media/hm? | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: you diont want to mount to /media/ mount to /media/somthing | 01:41 |
| seandiddy | ive used it and have been totally clean | 01:41 |
| tobiasz | is there a mint channel in freenode? | 01:41 |
| jcc1 | rootkits are probably more common, and they are relatively rare too | 01:41 |
| geo | hi, im new to linux, and i recenttly installed it on a box that i have, i did installed ndiswrapper 100% working for wireless, but my i just save the wpa key on boot... i always have to do it manual... that sucks! does anione have an ideia? | 01:41 |
| alkisg | azrael_: sudo mount -o loop /home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso /mnt | 01:41 |
| bastid_raZor | !mintsupport | tobiasz | 01:41 |
| ubottu | tobiasz: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tobiasz: i think they got their own irc server | 01:41 |
| iceroot | azrael_: create a dir in /media/ for e.g. called foo then moount it to /media/foo | 01:41 |
| burzki | Dr_Willis, admin meaning Me lol | 01:41 |
| Out_Cold | aoden, here is good.. but there are many how-to's... try gparted | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | burzki: you got it. | 01:42 |
| unop | Ookami, I did say you'd have to substitute other_user with the name of the other user, didn't i? find /home/test1 ! -user "test1" -exec echo rm -rv {} + | 01:42 |
| ChogyDan | geo: are you using network manager? | 01:42 |
| seandiddy | I have gotten viruses, and hijacked browser | 01:42 |
| geo | yes ChogyDan | 01:42 |
| aoden | opened gparted but found no method... | 01:42 |
| seandiddy | reboot and gone | 01:42 |
| Ookami | unop, ^^ i did | 01:42 |
| iceroot | seandiddy: not on linux | 01:42 |
| tropic | on linux? | 01:42 |
| aoden | (thanks out_cold) | 01:42 |
| vfw | azrael_: cd Desktop ; mkidr ubuntu-iso/ ; mount -o loop ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-iso/ | 01:42 |
| bastid_raZor | tobiasz: from that factoid, no not on freenode anymore | 01:42 |
| ChogyDan | geo: and the wpa password doesnt get saved? or you have to just enter a pass? | 01:42 |
| anon_ | out_cold: explain please, defining packet sources | 01:42 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, i've been rooted but was because i shut off my firewall | 01:42 |
| seandiddy | I swear that I had a hijack, and simply rebooted | 01:42 |
| Ookami | unop,find /home/test1 ! -user "test1" -exec echo rm -rv {} + | 01:42 |
| tropic | rooted? | 01:42 |
| burzki | tobiasz, maybe spotchat or something like that | 01:42 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, one sec | 01:42 |
| tropic | u run a server? | 01:42 |
| Out_Cold | tropic, yes | 01:42 |
| tobiasz | burzki thx | 01:42 |
| unop | Ookami, and did the command return anything? | 01:43 |
| Ookami | unop, and the result = find: `test1' is not the name of a known user | 01:43 |
| jcc1 | vfw: good one :-) eventually it will dawn on him what he is supposed to do :-) | 01:43 |
| tropic | u could rkhunter and chkrootkit but after a box gets rooted, u cant really trust it anymore | 01:43 |
| geo | ChogyDan, doesnt get saved, and i have to type it every time i boot the box | 01:43 |
| seandiddy | maybe bad memory glitch, I don't know for sure...im not a programmer | 01:43 |
| tropic | rkhunter will detect all common rootkits and bindshells | 01:43 |
| Ookami | unop, becuase the user is "deleted" i guess | 01:43 |
| Out_Cold | tropic, exactly... lesson learned ;) | 01:43 |
| Ziber | Whats the difference between an "S" and "s" when dealing with the setuid bit? | 01:43 |
| tropic | thought i doubt bindshell works on a firewalled box | 01:43 |
| ChogyDan | geo: are you using karmic and gnome? | 01:43 |
| tropic | the attacker would need to backconnect | 01:43 |
| geo | karmic | 01:43 |
| unop | Ookami, that's possible, did you delete the user? | 01:43 |
| Ookami | unop, yes | 01:43 |
| bastid_raZor | Ziber: s is for filse and S is for folder.. if i remember correctly | 01:43 |
| vfw | jcc1: Yea, he'll get it. The light bulb will light up momentarily. | 01:43 |
| geo | ChogyDan, Karmic. | 01:43 |
| geo | and gnome | 01:44 |
| unop | Ookami, well heh, what'd you expect? :) | 01:44 |
| jcc1 | tropic: true, but still nive to know how you got rooted in order to defend in the future, but ultimately it means a re-load | 01:44 |
| jcc1 | nive = nice | 01:44 |
| tropic | getting rooted these days | 01:44 |
| Krabmeat1 | Ok. So, how do i protect the root account? | 01:44 |
| seandiddy | but if the os is read only, and a breach in system occurs then "maybe a fresh boot without virus"? | 01:44 |
| tropic | is usually someone pwns a webapp u hav | 01:44 |
| tropic | than localroot exploit | 01:44 |
| Ziber | bastid_raZor: they're both files tho... | 01:44 |
| unop | Ookami, are you trying to import files from the "old user" to your new one?? | 01:44 |
| iceroot | Krabmeat1: not enabling it | 01:44 |
| tropic | consequence of using old kernels | 01:44 |
| alkisg | Ziber: the setuid bit doesn't work on scripts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setuid_on_executables | 01:44 |
| Out_Cold | tropic, i assume that's what happened.. they came in through ftp | 01:44 |
| tropic | now anyone who knows how to use a compiler can own u | 01:44 |
| Ookami | unop, looool ,, man this is my first time in ubuntu .. anyway let's say i create a user and i want to delete it ,, what do i do ? | 01:44 |
| ChogyDan | geo: you may want to check your keyrings under Apps> Acces > Passwords | 01:44 |
| bastid_raZor | Ziber: hold on.. i'll find it. i just read about it the other day. | 01:45 |
| lunix | how to chose to swap to another disk in linux? I have already created a linux82/swap partition on another disk | 01:45 |
| Ziber | bastid_raZor: thanks. | 01:45 |
| Krabmeat1 | iceroot: i dont know what that means, i am sorry | 01:45 |
| Ookami | unop, actually, no .. i just make it for "testing" and now i want to "clean up" ^^ | 01:45 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, i think you just set your interfaces to listin on and leave the rest | 01:45 |
| jcc1 | seandiddy: true, but a completely read-only system is useless for most things | 01:45 |
| mister_roboto | Ziber: S means it's not executable, s is executable | 01:45 |
| ChogyDan | lunix: I think you can just add it to your fstab | 01:45 |
| unop | Ookami, you can use the "users and groups" thing . or the userdel command. | 01:45 |
| mister_roboto | Ziber: http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/51385-difference-between-s-s-setuid-unix.html | 01:45 |
| vfw | lunix: make an entry for it in fstab | 01:45 |
| iceroot | Krabmeat1: that is good if not knowing how to enable root. dont worry about that | 01:45 |
| seandiddy | thats why theres a password to unlock it | 01:45 |
| vfw | lunix: but for now, swapon | 01:45 |
| unop | Ookami, so you want to completely get rid of all the "old user's" files?? | 01:45 |
| azrael_ | fuck it imma jsut burn it to disk | 01:45 |
| Ookami | unop, i used the "user and groups" thing, and ended up having files in my "home" directory ^^ | 01:46 |
| iceroot | azrael_: or maybe print the manpage | 01:46 |
| mister_roboto | Ziber: but i forgot that linux disables setuid on scripts so you'll probably have to write a little C wrapper or similar to run your script | 01:46 |
| iceroot | azrael_: and read it! | 01:46 |
| Ookami | unop, yeeep ^^ | 01:46 |
| Ziber | mister_roboto: thanks | 01:46 |
| vfw | azrael_: Watch your language! | 01:46 |
| Alan502 | /home/alan/Documents/My\ Documents/Backups/laptopRENE/ <---- is this correct for the "path" parameter in the [share] of smb.conf? | 01:46 |
| Sunboy2 | Anyone know what the problem might be with rhythmbox drivers? | 01:46 |
| azrael_ | cus now my media file is telling me i dont have the room to make a file in there | 01:46 |
| anon_ | out_cold: ok ill try that, some people said that the newest -v of kismet automatically tuned broadcom to listening but i can do it manually | 01:46 |
| fonzi | ubuntu rules!!! | 01:46 |
| Krabmeat1 | iceroot: is root obtained by the system password? | 01:46 |
| seandiddy | like i said, I don't know, all I know my browser was hijacked...reboot fine | 01:46 |
| Sunboy2 | fonzi: Hear, hear! | 01:46 |
| seandiddy | that never happend on a windows machine | 01:46 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: you're quitting !!!! | 01:46 |
| Krabmeat1 | like the admin account on windows? | 01:46 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, you can try in the server? | 01:46 |
| aoden | out_Cold: under "device" then "create part'n table" it offers to clear the whole disc...izzatit? | 01:46 |
| iceroot | Krabmeat1: there is no system-password for default | 01:46 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, it's a lost cause | 01:46 |
| fonzi | huh?? | 01:46 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: but you just got started :-) | 01:46 |
| iceroot | !root | Krabmeat1 | 01:47 |
| ubottu | Krabmeat1: 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 | 01:47 |
| azrael_ | not like i'm getting help other then you stupid azrael | 01:47 |
| vfw | azrael_: It's not THAT difficult | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | aoden, this is in gparted? | 01:47 |
| azrael_ | i know | 01:47 |
| azrael_ | it just not working for me | 01:47 |
| anon_ | out_cold: ok ill try that next | 01:47 |

| tropic | lol | 01:47 |
| vfw | azrael_: do you know how to highlight text and then hit middle mouse button? | 01:47 |
| unop | Ookami, rm -r /home/old_user | 01:47 |
| azrael_ | yes | 01:48 |
| aoden | Out_Cold: yes, in GParted, under device, under create part'n table, "Warning, this will ERASE ALL....on disk" | 01:48 |
| Ziber | mister_roboto: solved, thanks | 01:48 |
| Ookami | unop, result = rm: descend into write-protected directory `/home/test'? | 01:48 |
| Ookami | ?? | 01:48 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: we really ca help you but you need to relax a moment and take a breath, you're getting frustrated. | 01:48 |
| tropic | rm'd stuff is easily recovered | 01:48 |
| Out_Cold | aoden, you should find a format option in a menu.. but yea that's close to the right track... MAKE SURE you select the right disk... it's /sdb or /sdc or something | 01:48 |
| bastid_raZor | Ziber: http://pastebin.com/f5859c500 , this is what i read. | 01:48 |
| unop | Ookami, errm, press CTRL+C there to cancel this command and run. sudo rm -r /home/old_user | 01:49 |
| azrael_ | no duh | 01:49 |
| tropic | witht he digiforensics stuff they hav now | 01:49 |

| seandiddy | anyone familiar with smb fileshare strings i need mythtv frontend help | 01:49 |
| andyland | Jolaren: Det gick inte riktigt som jag hade hoppats: http://img693.imageshack.us/i/butwhy.png/ Processerna verkar vara i Sleep Mode. Har även givit dem högsta prrioritet. | 01:49 |
| Xpistos | is there any reason why I can delete files over sshfs in nautilus, but not un empty folders? | 01:49 |
| Krabmeat1 | iceroot: what does that bold "mode" thing mean? | 01:49 |
| anon_ | out_cold: idk if you know anything about broadcom devices, but i have the b43 drivers for it but when i try to set the mode to monitor it still says the device or resource is busy | 01:49 |
| vfw | azrael_: mount -o loop ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-iso | 01:49 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: no no no, no one is calling you stupid, just smiling at your frustration... you can do it | 01:50 |
| lunix | thanks ChogyDan and vfw :) Ill check that out | 01:50 |
| vfw | azrael_: ls ubuntu-iso/ | 01:50 |
| Alan502 | I already configured samba, and added my folder in the smb.conf but when i try to connect in windows it says that it cannot connect to the computer, what can i be doing wrong? | 01:50 |
| Ookami | unop, :D:D ,, amazing :D:D | 01:50 |
| azrael_ | jccl dont talk to me if you not gonna be helpful | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, you might need to try the b43xx driver... depends on what hardware you have | 01:50 |
| unop | Ookami, :) | 01:50 |
| azrael_ | i'm sick of that | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | Alan502, did you open ports??? | 01:51 |
| vfw | azrael_: Don't talk to jcc1 if your not going to be helpful. | 01:51 |
| anon_ | out_cold: no i went through that chaos yesterday, the b43 drivers are correct sadly thats not the issue | 01:51 |
| Alan502 | Out_Cold, which ports should i open? how? | 01:51 |
| azrael_ | grrr | 01:51 |
| epinky | azrael_: "pwd" to find out where you are | 01:51 |
| Alan502 | Out_Cold, this, and the windows computer, are both connected to the same router | 01:51 |
| aoden | Out_Cold: yes, it does abbreviate the drive... "dev/sdb" and I want it clean, so nothing to lose, eh? | 01:51 |
| vfw | grrr | 01:51 |
| Out_Cold | Alan502, not sure which ports but firestarter is a firewall app or you can use cli | 01:52 |
| Ookami | unop, one laaaaaaaast thing ^^ | 01:52 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: vfw just gave you step by step instructions.. if you failed to do it this time. you have trolled this channel well. | 01:52 |
| anon_ | is transmission the best FTP for ubuntu in others opinions? | 01:52 |
| Out_Cold | aoden, correct.. but like i said.. there should be a format option.. perhaps in a menu | 01:52 |
| gmcinnes | hi all. can anyone tell me how to mount a drive pulled from a raid array on another machine without destroying it? | 01:52 |
| Out_Cold | transmission isn't an fpt client | 01:52 |
| azrael_ | not trolling and like i first said terminal is not working for me | 01:52 |
| bastid_raZor | anon_: ktorrent if you don't mind kde libs... torrent app that is | 01:52 |
| Ookami | unop, i reallly realllllly realllllllllly want to change my (userID) .. tried so many things but couldn't pull it off correctly ,, do you know how ? | 01:52 |
| mister_roboto | anon_: there is no good ftp imo :D | 01:52 |
| tropic | i hate servs with no hostserv :( | 01:53 |
| vfw | azrael_: The Tab key is your friend. | 01:53 |
| tropic | brb | 01:53 |
| azrael_ | but you guys like ignore wat say and assume i'm retarded | 01:53 |
| anon_ | sorry not ftp but torrent program | 01:53 |
| unop | Ookami, one sec | 01:53 |
| azrael_ | vfw no duh if terminal was working | 01:53 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, torrent is the lightest and easiest IMO | 01:53 |
| bastid_raZor | http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html azrael_ try this guide, i read it just yesterday. some very helpful information there. | 01:53 |
| Out_Cold | **transmission | 01:53 |
| jcc1 | no, not true, you need to tell us exactly not generally, so we can help you | 01:53 |
| Ookami | unop, sure ^^ | 01:53 |
| vfw | azrael_: In other words, you are more than likely mistyping and if you use the Tab key to auto-complete file names / directory names, you will get it. | 01:54 |
| azrael_ | or you just assuming i'm doing it wrong when i'm not | 01:54 |
| anon_ | out_cold: yeah i mean its a nice break from switching from utorrent off a windows system but i just wasnt sure if there was something more commonly used | 01:54 |
| azrael_ | all i asked for was a a mounting app that it | 01:55 |
| azrael_ | inside i get called stupid and told all kindof info that i knew already and had tried | 01:55 |
| bastid_raZor | anon_: ktorrent is similiar in features to utorrent.. i would guess it is better than utorrent. | 01:55 |
| Out_Cold | anon_, the most commonly used software is the stuff that's usually installed by default.. (comes from community input) | 01:55 |
| bastid_raZor | anon_: also deluge is another good torrent app. | 01:55 |
| burzki | anon_, transmission is good and it works. not fancy | 01:55 |
| unop | Ookami, sudo usermod -u uid username; sudo chown uid:uid -R /home/username | 01:55 |
| Alan502 | Out_Cold, i don't mind if it's cli or not, i want to share my folder! | 01:55 |
| Sunboy2 | Sorry to keep bugging, but can anyone help me with a problem with rhythmbox | 01:55 |
| eurythmia | bastid_raZor, it sure is ... although, the kde3 version is way better than the kde4 version ... I switched over to transmission after kde4. | 01:56 |
| Ookami | unop, hmm .. (sudo usermod -u uid username; sudo chown uid:uid -R /home/username) ,, where do i change ? | 01:56 |
| anon_ | out_cold: good point didn't think of that. | 01:56 |
| vfw | azrael_: Ok have it your way. We are wrong. We have never mounted an ISO image and don't know what we are talking about. We are very sorry to have wasted your time. Please forgive us for any inconvenience we may have caused you. | 01:56 |
| ChogyDan | eurythmia: why do you like the old version of deluge? | 01:56 |
| jcc1 | Sunboy2: state your problem, then someone may be able to help | 01:56 |
| azrael_ | not saying that | 01:56 |
| unop | Ookami, you need to change "uid" and "username" here | 01:56 |
| Alan502 | Does anyone know which ports should be oppened to share a samba folder? | 01:56 |
| azrael_ | but your ignore wat i'm saying when i say MY F*CKING TERMINAL ISN"T WORKING | 01:57 |
| Out_Cold | Alan502, did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 01:57 |
| Ookami | unop, which is old and which is new ? | 01:57 |
| eurythmia | ChogyDan, I wasn't aware that transmission was forked from deluge. | 01:57 |
| ChogyDan | nvm | 01:57 |
| wlodi | Alan502: I think 137 and 138 | 01:57 |
| Ookami | unop, oh ,, i just type the "desired" ones here ? | 01:57 |
| unop | Ookami, e.g. if you want the new UID of "test1" to be 1000. sudo usermod -u 1000 test1; sudo chown 1000:1000 -R /home/test1 | 01:57 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, go back to windows | 01:57 |
| darkis | hi | 01:58 |
| azrael_ | yea if i could i would of | 01:58 |
| epinky | azrael_: if you want something easier there are "FURIUS MOUNT ISO" and "ACETONEISO2" | 01:58 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: That was cold. | 01:58 |
| OerHeks | azrael_ ctrl+c copy paste does not work, pointer at cursor, right mouse> paste | 01:58 |
| xtjacob | does anyone know how to get the battery monitor working in conky, or gnome do? | 01:58 |
| azrael_ | no duh | 01:58 |
| Ookami | unop, let's repeat that one more time if you may please ^^ ,, i didn't get it ,, let's say i want to change my userid from "baka" to "ookami" ? | 01:59 |
| vfw | azrael_: Please forgive Out_Cold he is out cold. (Someone give Out_Cold another beer.) | 01:59 |
| Ookami | sudo usermod -u uid username; sudo chown uid:uid -R /home/username ? | 01:59 |
| darkis | anyone have a lockerz account here ? | 01:59 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, i've been offering help before you came involved... i'm pretty easy going... but copy and paste seems to be beyond the comprehension of this new linux user | 01:59 |
| azrael_ | ok stfu out cold | 01:59 |
| unop | Ookami, ohh, you mean username not userid then :) | 01:59 |
| === usuario-master is now known as Crayon | ||
| Ookami | nonoo | 01:59 |
| wlodi | Alan502: the ports are 137-139 and 445 | 01:59 |
| Out_Cold | XD | 01:59 |
| azrael_ | wat part of terminal isn't working dont you get | 01:59 |
| eurythmia | azrael_, don't take out your frustration on the room. go punch your cat or something. | 01:59 |
| Ookami | unop, userID ,, the thing on the right upper corner | 02:00 |
| tropic | back. | 02:00 |
| Out_Cold | meooowww-twackk | 02:00 |
| aoden | Out_Cold -- thanks for your help! (just learning new nomenclature) byes! | 02:00 |
| Out_Cold | *thwacck | 02:00 |
| unop | Ookami, upper right corner?? you mean the number? | 02:00 |
| azrael_ | i asked for help and i get made fun of cus my problems are not that ez to fix | 02:00 |
| eurythmia | azrael_, "terminal isn't working" is very vague. What do you mean? What is your exact issue? | 02:00 |
| tropic | ye | 02:00 |
| tropic | what part of terminal | 02:00 |
| tropic | any errors output? | 02:00 |
| tropic | etc.. | 02:00 |
| azrael_ | ok how about i put a command in and it does nothing | 02:00 |
| FloodBot2 | tropic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:00 |
| Out_Cold | i bet it's mounted hahaha | 02:00 |
| eurythmia | ooh, better yet ... somebody give him the smart questions factoid. | 02:01 |
| Ookami | unop, no man ,, hmm ,, the user id ,, in the applet ,, in the right side of the clock in the desktop ^^ | 02:01 |
| vfw | azrael_: mount | 02:01 |
| bastid_raZor | Out_Cold: was just going to say that.. no output is good output | 02:01 |
| unop | Ookami, that's the username then | 02:01 |
| vfw | azrael_: mount | pastebinit | 02:01 |
| epinky | azrael_: echo $? | 02:01 |
| Ookami | unop, huh ? | 02:01 |
| anon__ | echo hahaha | 02:01 |
| Out_Cold | bastid_raZor, it took me about 10 mins to figure that out...... | 02:01 |
| tropic | echo? | 02:01 |
| Ookami | unop, the one that you "log in" with .. right .. | 02:01 |
| unop | Ookami, so, you have an existing user called "baka", you want him to be called "ookami" now? tight | 02:01 |
| unop | right? | 02:01 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: I'm sure it is. | 02:01 |
| Ookami | unop, yep ^^ | 02:01 |
| mister_roboto | epinky: i don't think that hint is gonna work without explanation :) | 02:02 |
| tropic | the easiest way is to enable root and use the users and group think | 02:02 |
| unop | Ookami, yea, that's the username - the userid is a number associated with a username | 02:02 |
| tropic | thing* | 02:02 |
| bastid_raZor | tropic: you never need to enable root. | 02:02 |
| Ookami | unop, ooooooooooh ,,i just want to change the username then ^^ | 02:02 |
| azrael_ | wat about echo | 02:02 |
| epinky | mister_roboto: he wants some feedback from cli, he'll get some :) | 02:02 |
| Ookami | unop, sorry for the bothering about the whole thing ^^ | 02:02 |
| epinky | azrael_: it gives you zero? | 02:02 |
| unop | Ookami, sudo usermod -l ookami baka | 02:02 |
| mister_roboto | epinky: only if it's the very next thing after the command though | 02:02 |
| tropic | i kno | 02:02 |
| tropic | and real name and user name will both work at login prompt | 02:03 |
| unop | Ookami, it's fine, i just had to make sure | 02:03 |
| Ookami | unop, tried that before ,, let me show you the result | 02:03 |
| azrael_ | nope | 02:03 |
| Out_Cold | i like root especially for my server..... adding an extra sudo on all commands is very repetitive | 02:03 |
| aperson | can anyone recommend a pdf reader that has bookmarking ability that is close to evince? | 02:03 |
| azrael_ | not 0 if fact not even close to 0 | 02:03 |
| tropic | use su instead of sudo su | 02:03 |
| tropic | there | 02:03 |
| tropic | save some time :P | 02:03 |
| plustax | Anyone know where I can get games for my pcsx emulator that coms with ubuntu? | 02:03 |
| Ookami | unop, result = sudo usermod -l ookami baka | 02:03 |
| Ookami | oops | 02:03 |
| mister_roboto | Out_Cold: if you really need a root shell to bop around as root for a while, you can sudo -i | 02:03 |
| eurythmia | tropic, but sudo su actually gives you a root shell ... su gives you a shell with root privileges | 02:04 |
| azrael_ | http://pastebin.com/m2b94bc31 | 02:04 |
| eurythmia | ... there's a subtle difference ;) | 02:04 |
| Out_Cold | mister_roboto, yea.. i don't set up a psword | 02:04 |
| Ookami | unop, i mean ^^ ,, result = usermod: user justd is currently logged in | 02:04 |
| unop | eurythmia, sudo su - makes su redundant there | 02:04 |
| Ookami | justd = the current user ^^ | 02:04 |
| unop | eurythmia, sudo -i instead | 02:04 |
| plustax | Anyone know where I can get games for my pcsx emulator that coms with ubuntu? | 02:04 |
| eurythmia | unop, good to know ... I never bothered to look up -i | 02:04 |
| Out_Cold | it's mounted lol | 02:04 |
| tropic | wow | 02:04 |
| tropic | i didnt notice the difference | 02:05 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, it's under /media | 02:05 |
| epinky | azrael_: it's there, it's already mounted and 3 times "/home/azrael/Desktop/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso on /media type iso9660" | 02:05 |
| lunix | swapon /dev/sdd2.. got no errors :D but how to test/see that its actually working | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | plustax: i get mine at rummage sale/used game stores.. | 02:05 |
| IdahoEv | how would I go about adding a directory to $PATH for user www-data? (this user has no homedir, and ergo no .bashrc) | 02:05 |
| azrael_ | kk sry then | 02:05 |
| azrael_ | thanks for help then | 02:05 |
| aperson | plustax, you're going to have to find them yourself, that isn't something covered by this channel | 02:05 |
| === zero is now known as Guest60509 | ||
| jcc1 | :-) | 02:05 |
| azrael_ | i'm a rude ass and i'm srry i took my rage out on you guys | 02:05 |
| vfw | eurythmia: sudo -i or sudo su - (sudo -i is fewer keystrokes) | 02:05 |
| Ookami | unop, the result was "usermod: user justd is currently logged in" .. any other ideas ? ^^ | 02:06 |
| plustax | dr_willis oh so I just put in a playstation game and it will work? | 02:06 |
| eurythmia | vfw, yep. I see that :) | 02:06 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: no you weren't rude, just frustrated and it showed, no problem | 02:06 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, apparently sudo su can cause issues.... | 02:06 |
| === tato is now known as tato42 | ||
| Dr_Willis | plustax: yep. or you can make iso files from the games and run them from iso | 02:06 |
| unop | Ookami, errm, you'll probably need to log on as another user and run this command | 02:06 |
| ZaNeIuM | anyone good with grub, i want to be able to use it to boot choise of 3 partitions on a usb flash drive | 02:06 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, sudo su opens to apps where as sudo -i is 1 | 02:06 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: your lack of details was the only real issue. | 02:06 |
| plustax | gotcha | 02:06 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: What? | 02:06 |
| plustax | thank you Dr_Willis | 02:06 |
| Ookami | unop, dude, i tried .. that's why i created another user at the first place ,, but it didn't work too | 02:06 |
| unop | Ookami, well, make sure the user you are trying to rename is logged off first then | 02:07 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, sudo su opens sudo and su where as sudo -i just opens a root shell | 02:07 |
| ChogyDan | I've been having some issues with Flash, and I figured a solution. Any ideas where I should post it? | 02:07 |
| Ookami | unop, this is complicated ,, lol ,, i only have one user now ^^ | 02:07 |
| tropic | i hate flash on linux :/ | 02:07 |
| unop | Out_Cold, there isn't much difference | 02:07 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, apparently it has been known to cause issues... **shrugs** | 02:07 |
| mister_roboto | lunix: you should be able to see the swap using "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdd | 02:08 |
| tropic | they should enable the universe repo by default on karmic | 02:08 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: sudo su - also opens a root shell. (not sure what you are talking about). | 02:08 |
| unop | Ookami, make a new user, log off, log on as that user, rename your user, log off, log on as renamed user, etc :) | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | tropic: adobe hates it also.. :) | 02:08 |
| Out_Cold | vfw, agreed but in 2 steps not 1 | 02:08 |
| eurythmia | mister_roboto, for sdX, the X is machine/install dependant | 02:08 |
| mister_roboto | eurythmia: he already said sdd2 :) | 02:09 |
| Sabre-night | I have a virtualbox question for anyone who is savy with it. I'm trying to play Starcraft on windows XP <guest> because i cannot play it on my Ubuntu 9.10 <host> but I'm having a screen resolution issue which keeps the game window to a 640x480 sized window, with a black border which fits the rest of the screen, and i have tried using it in VBoxSDL and i continue to get poor results. | 02:09 |
| eurythmia | mister_roboto, ahh, wasn't looking that far up, sorry. | 02:09 |
| vfw | Out_Cold: Surffice to say; sudo -i is the prefered method. (But only because it is fewer keystrokes.) | 02:09 |
| Ookami | unop, loool ,, alright ,,, i tried this before ,, didn't work ,,, but maybe cuz i used "log out" ,, is there a diffrent between "log off" and "log out" ? ? ? | 02:09 |
| jcc1 | to see the difference between sudo su - and sudo -i just try both and look at environment variables, i.e. run "export", there is a difference | 02:09 |
| holycow | what library will tell me if i'm running jaunty or karmic? | 02:09 |
| tropic | freenode should hav hostserv :/ | 02:10 |
| holycow | kernel is 2.6.8.28 | 02:10 |
| tropic | than i wouldnt need to connect here with bnc | 02:10 |
| bastid_raZor | holycow: lsb_release -a | 02:10 |
| holycow | danke | 02:10 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: it's a problem of Window XP i think, not of Ubuntu.... | 02:10 |
| lunix | thanks mister_roboto, good idea! I kinda found a way my self but far from as good... (opened system monitor and saw that possible swapsize matches my sdd2 partition) So it looks like it works :) | 02:10 |
| tropic | hav any u gotten corrupted sector warnings from ubuntu after install? | 02:11 |
| bastid_raZor | Sabre-night: possibloy try #vbox too, they may know a bit more | 02:11 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, i think it's a resolution issue with vbox not the guest | 02:11 |
| holycow | how odd. i have karmic in my sources.list, i distupgraded but lsb_release says its still jaunty | 02:11 |
| unop | Ookami, errm, same difference, sorry, i don't remember the right terms as I don't use Gnome | 02:11 |
| gh0st | is there a way to host a video on my website without converting to to proprietary formats like .flv? id love to use xvid, but i need to reduce the bitrate. any ideas? | 02:11 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, no it a common problem people have fixed before using the same methods i have, yet they have managed to get it full-screen as opposed to the 640 x 480 window. | 02:11 |
| mister_roboto | lunix: it's good when stuff works! :) | 02:11 |
| azrael_ | ok so i'm smoke a joint and wacth ubuntu 9.10 install | 02:11 |
| unop | azrael_, are you trolling us? | 02:11 |
| Sabre-night | bastid_raZor, ok | 02:11 |
| azrael_ | nope | 02:11 |
| Ookami | unop, no problems ^^ ,, but i tried that procedure and it didn't work ,, anyhow you been a lot of help so thank you very much for you time ^^ .. :) | 02:12 |
| eurythmia | gh0st, html5 supports certain video formats (non-proprietary), you should check out what exactly it supports. | 02:12 |
| azrael_ | it would of been funny it was but 100% my own stupidtiy | 02:12 |
| Out_Cold | unop, i doubt he's trolling he's just way too used to that pointy clicky thingy | 02:12 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: i remember you saying you had 8.04 and are upgrading to 9.10 .. the method you are trying will not work. | 02:12 |
| unop | Ookami, well, it should work properly, if it doesn't restart the machine and log on as the temporary user | 02:12 |
| phreezyphreaky | azrael_, you might want to wait on that joint until it finishes installing | 02:12 |
| azrael_ | its working so far | 02:12 |
| jcc1 | :-) | 02:12 |
| Xfact | Out_Cold: maybe, you are right, but I've using XP for 5 yrs....so I think it's a problem of 3D settings...in video driver of Vbox...(so Vbox also included) | 02:12 |
| unop | Ookami, it probably didn't work before as the user wasn't logged out completely | 02:12 |
| OerHeks | Sabre-night you need Vboxguestadditions iso | 02:12 |
| gh0st | eurythmia: thanks for the heads up. But would it support reducing bitrates? | 02:12 |
| vfw | azrael_: You need the alternate CD | 02:12 |
| Ookami | unop, i'll try that now | 02:13 |
| azrael_ | nah cus if it doesn't work i won't care cus i'll be high | 02:13 |
| Sabre-night | OerHeks, i have that, and its installed on the guest OS aswell. | 02:13 |
| azrael_ | i doing wat the ubuntu site said | 02:13 |
| unop | Out_Cold, it was the "I'ma smoke a joint while you help me" comment ... | 02:13 |
| eurythmia | gh0st, not entirely sure. All I know is that video is one of the new fun features of html5 :) | 02:13 |
| Ookami | unop, so it's "usermod -l newusername oldusername" .. right ? | 02:13 |
| azrael_ | and it said i could upgrade 8.04 to 9.10 | 02:13 |
| vfw | !upgrade | azrael_ | 02:13 |
| ubottu | azrael_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 02:13 |
| unop | Ookami, right | 02:13 |
| LordRaptor | im running dual monitors which was really easy with ubuntu but when I run a 3d game drawing to both displays slows down my framerate (i think) how can I turn one screen off for gaming? | 02:13 |
| Out_Cold | unop, although i don't advertise that... i ussualy do that on most of my fixes :p | 02:13 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: how much video memory you've set for your guest XP? | 02:14 |
| Ookami | unop, it'll change the directory homefolder too ,, right ? ^^ | 02:14 |
| unop | Ookami, you might need sudo before that command too | 02:14 |
| holycow | what has changed in ubuntu? why didn't dist-upgrade actually upgrade the box to karmic? | 02:14 |
| Out_Cold | LordRaptor, the command is in xrandr | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | LordRaptor: the xrandr tools/commands can do that on the fly. I just fullscreen my games to one monitor with twinview. and keep irc open on the 2nd. :) | 02:14 |
| Ookami | unop, alright ^^ | 02:14 |
| unop | Ookami, errm, you shouldn't need to worry about the homefolder - but you might want to change that too | 02:14 |
| OerHeks | Sabre-night then you can adjust more videomem & size | 02:14 |
| azrael_ | azrael 2.0 | 02:14 |
| holycow | have they started disabling dist-ugprade features? | 02:14 |
| === mattgyver[L] is now known as mattgyver | ||
| Ookami | unop, well, i'll leave that for later as i take it step by step ^^ | 02:14 |
| LordRaptor | Dr_Willis, i can set it up with .xinitrc? | 02:15 |
| Ookami | unop, thanks again ,, peace out :) | 02:15 |
| eurythmia | holycow, they won't do that because it's part of apt, but they will (and have) started discouraging it, because it may break things. | 02:15 |
| OerHeks | Sabre-night edit preferences of a image powered off | 02:15 |
| unop | Ookami, good luck | 02:15 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, i have it as high up as i possibly can have it. | 02:15 |
| holycow | eurythmia: and they are encouragin the use of this gui nonsense? | 02:15 |
| anon__ | jeeze dragorn maker of kismet is one stuck up person | 02:15 |
| anon__ | JS | 02:15 |
| * Out_Cold forgot his original efforts after sitting in here for an hour :o/ | 02:16 | |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: when you installed Vbox guest features on XP, was the '3d settings (experimental)' enabled? | 02:16 |
| eurythmia | holycow, the gui is a front end to update-manager, which handles full upgrades much better than apt, since it's tailor made for ubuntu. | 02:16 |
| jcc1 | Out_Cold: I know the feeling :-) | 02:16 |
| anon__ | out_cold has been on here for quite awhile | 02:16 |
| Out_Cold | anon__, usually they don't have time for friendliness | 02:16 |
| holycow | update manager has a cli interface? | 02:16 |
| holycow | i had no clue | 02:16 |
| eurythmia | holycow, it does, indeed. | 02:16 |
| holycow | i disable that first thing, it is the single most annoying piece of software i have ever seen | 02:16 |
| anon__ | out_cold: yes, i've come to see that | 02:16 |
| Out_Cold | anon__, it's a long weekend and i have computers that need fixing | 02:17 |
| datz | hi, when I "sudo shutdown now" I get a recovery menu. Anyone know why this might be, and also how I can actaully shutdown my machine in this way? | 02:17 |
| holycow | ah well, back to debian | 02:17 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, yes, 2d and 3d excelleration and anything else is enabled. (that would make sense to have enabled mind you) | 02:17 |
| azrael_ | Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? | 02:17 |
| holycow | eurythmia: ths for the info | 02:17 |
| azrael_ | Caught in a landslide No escape from reality | 02:17 |
| eurythmia | holycow, well, to do a safe upgrade, you need to ensure update-manager is installed, but not necessarily the update-manager applet. | 02:17 |
| anon__ | out_cold: well your certainly a busy person | 02:17 |
| azrael_ | Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, | 02:17 |
| ChogyDan | azrael_: please dont spam | 02:17 |
| shushek | hello,please help... i 've a slow data trasfer rate from usb drive. how can i fix that. | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, no real life consists of MS windows and virii and blue screens... you are in our fantasy now | 02:17 |
| azrael_ | not spam | 02:17 |
| jcc1 | datz: it is "sudo shutdown -H now" | 02:17 |
| azrael_ | I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy | 02:17 |
| wlodi | datz: have you tried sudo shutdown -h now | 02:17 |
| jcc1 | whoops, -h | 02:18 |
| datz | wlodi: no I haven't | 02:18 |
| azrael_ | Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, | 02:18 |
| eurythmia | what about "sudo init 0" ? | 02:18 |
| azrael_ | Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me | 02:18 |
| wlodi | datz: that should work | 02:18 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: well, if your vVbox is latest, and as you said you all settings are positive (including internal game settings...) then I believe it's a problem of XP, not Vbox or else... | 02:18 |
| jcc1 | datz: you have to have the "-h" | 02:18 |
| eurythmia | ;) | 02:18 |
| datz | thanks | 02:18 |
| azrael_ | Mama I just killed a man, | 02:18 |
| wlodi | datz: and -r for a reboot | 02:18 |
| Out_Cold | can we kick for ot? | 02:18 |
| jcc1 | -h = halt | 02:18 |
| azrael_ | Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead | 02:18 |
| Out_Cold | !ot > azrael_ | 02:19 |
| ubottu | azrael_, please see my private message | 02:19 |
| datz | jcc1: thanks, you answered my question without me having to go to the manual :) | 02:19 |
| azrael_ | buzz kills | 02:19 |
| datz | wlodi: thanks, I knew of the -r :) | 02:19 |
| jcc1 | datz: the manual will help though, there are other, good, options | 02:19 |
| azrael_ | thats a good song | 02:19 |
| shushek | can anybody help with this?.. slow data transfer via usb drive | 02:19 |
| wlodi | datz: n[ | 02:19 |
| eurythmia | datz, :o ... you should *always* go to the manual first! | 02:19 |
| wlodi | datz: np | 02:19 |
| jcc1 | and it is a simple man page | 02:19 |
| anon__ | azrael: well what do you expect this really isnt your "chat" room | 02:19 |
| datz | lol | 02:19 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, go sing in the offtopic chan | 02:19 |
| eurythmia | shushek, usb1 or usb2? | 02:19 |
| shushek | i exactly dont know, is that usb 2.0 i guess | 02:20 |
| azrael_ | hey any one know how to used alt code on ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: yes, in not a solution but I would install WinXp with duel boot to play games, Vbox is not designed for playing high-tek games! | 02:20 |
| azrael_ | like alt 255 and stuff like that | 02:20 |
| datz | eurythmia: I should have. I thought there was a problem with my configuration though, not with the syntax. whoops | 02:20 |
| * Xfact 's keyboard sucks...! | 02:21 | |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, I doupt i'd consider Starcraft 'hightech' | 02:21 |
| azrael_ | hey any one know how to used alt code on ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: it depends on the app you are running | 02:21 |
| azrael_ | firefox | 02:21 |
| * eurythmia 's vacuum cleaner sucks. | 02:21 | |
| jcc1 | no | 02:21 |
| shushek | eurythmia: i guess its usb2.. well i really dont know | 02:21 |
| azrael_ | sad face | 02:21 |
| Alan502 | I already configured samba, and added my folder in the smb.conf but when i try to connect in windows it says that it cannot connect to the computer, what can i be doing wrong? | 02:21 |
| Out_Cold | oh yea.... vbox-ose :( | 02:21 |
| * eurythmia goes back to playing with his ipt | 02:22 | |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: But i'd say it's 'high-tech' for a virtualbox! | 02:22 |
| mithridates | who does know why totem player doesn't start and it says , change your output device . I think it's about gstream ( I installed all restricted-packages | 02:22 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: google for answers, I'm sure there is info on the firefox forums or wiki | 02:22 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, point taken, so, how would i go about installing XP dual boot style? | 02:22 |
| warehos | alan - did you assign a smb password for your user? | 02:23 |
| jcc1 | Alan502: you probably need to use your windose passwd, have you tried that? | 02:23 |
| ChogyDan | mithridates: try gstreamer-properties | 02:23 |
| Alan502 | jcc1, what windows password? i setted the guest ok to true in the smb.conf | 02:24 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, nevermind i'll google that | 02:24 |
| shushek | eurythmia: i'm sorry if i bug you.. but i have a strong feeling you'd help me out of this.. | 02:24 |
| mithridates | ChogyDan: I tried several times , but there is no any other device | 02:24 |
| datz | Sabre-night: the easy way would be the wubi | 02:24 |

| azrael_ | back | 02:25 |
| Alan502 | !ask | gigglefight | 02:25 |
| ubottu | gigglefight: 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. :-) | 02:25 |
| Out_Cold | yippee | 02:25 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: if google can help you to find how to install xp with duel boot, then I guess i can also help to solve your vbox problem on that game :) | 02:26 |
| jcc1 | gigglefight: just ask, if someone knows they will answer, you don't need permission to ask :-) | 02:26 |
| Alan502 | jcc1, what did you meant with "windose passwd"? | 02:26 |
| datz | Sabre-night: you have ubuntu installed first? | 02:26 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, lol really :P | 02:26 |
| gigglefight | thanks jcc1. | 02:26 |
| Sabre-night | datz, yeah | 02:26 |

| shushek | Alan502, I guess mine is not a good Q?.. how to speed up the usb data tranfer in ubuntu 9.10.. its damn SLOW | 02:27 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: but one hint! if you have only one partition installed, then duel boot with XP literally possible (I believe) | 02:27 |
| Xfact | NOT possible | 02:27 |
| Xfact | *sorry | 02:28 |
| Sabre-night | datz, i figure theres an easy way or a hard way, easy way is just to format completly, and install xp then install ubuntu, partitioned with xp.. if my thought is right on that; | 02:28 |
| azrael_ | so i'm lovin the upgrade | 02:28 |
| klingongac | Anyone here with experience in getting older ATI laptop video cards to work? Using Ubuntu 8.04 but have tried 9.04 and 9.10. No luck. | 02:28 |
| tpuc_org | that will work sabre | 02:28 |
| Alan502 | shushek, hmmm ... i'm not sure, it can be a driver problem, perhaps. Google is my friend :) let me check... | 02:28 |
| jcc1 | you can monunt a directory from the command line using smbmount, check the man page, and give the command your password for the windows machine, or you can run smbpasswd and then it will be stored in a file permenently, check the man page | 02:28 |
| warehos | anytime i've had an issue setting up smb, its because i always forget to run # smbpasswd {user} | 02:28 |
| === John is now known as Guest56192 | ||
| gigglefight | I'm loving the upgrade too! there's a problem in my bootloader... I have two different Ubuntu 9.10 - one works one doesnt | 02:29 |
| datz | Sabre-night: well.. depending on your configuration I guess..reinstallatio's ease will vary... I have windows on linux on separate drives, so a bit different for me | 02:29 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, i only have one partition, so i figure, format ubuntu *cringe* unstall XP and set up a partition either during that, or when i go to install ubuntu... | 02:29 |
| azrael_ | i upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 and i'm lovin it | 02:29 |
| Shazam | gigglefight: is one of them the recovery mode? | 02:29 |
| Xfact | upgrade does many problem later with software compatibilities..... | 02:29 |
| shushek | Alan502, i did GOOGLE a lot and found it is a bug.. but as i'm just an amature ubuntu user, dont know how to get this done... | 02:29 |
| kapu | I have two files I am trying to "merge". file1 has the same number of lines as file2. I would like merge these files so that line n of file2 is appended to line n of file1 for eack line | 02:29 |
| Sabre-night | datz, YOU'RE A GENIUS. i completly forgot i have a spare drive i could install it on. | 02:29 |
| jcc1 | Sabre-night: make sure XP is installed first to ease your headaches | 02:30 |
| datz | Sabre-night: there you go, then you can just mess with grub later. :) | 02:30 |
| gigglefight | there are two recovery modes and two ubuntu 9.10, but they both end differently. | 02:30 |
| Sabre-night | jcc1, second hard drive to the rescue! | 02:30 |
| jcc1 | there ya go :-) | 02:30 |
| Shazam | gigglefight: do they have different numbers at the end? are they different kernel revisions? | 02:30 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: but there also other way...first look if the partition is visible as supported in Windows XP setup, then you can install XP without format.... | 02:30 |
| gigglefight | during the bootloader, there's one that ends with 14 and 16 | 02:30 |
| Alan502 | shushek, me neither :( i'm an amateur linux user as well | 02:31 |
| gigglefight | yes. shazam, they are. | 02:31 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, i forgot i have a spare 12 gig hard drive i can throw into here | 02:31 |
| Shazam | gigglefight: then yes, that's what they are. you are saying that one of those isn't working for you? | 02:31 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: later, you'll just have to run GURB again...(once) | 02:31 |
| ssmy | I have two wireless network cards, how do I stop ubuntu from trying to connect both of them to the network? | 02:31 |
| Out_Cold | ssmy, in your network manager deselect "auto connect" | 02:31 |
| gigglefight | the one that ends with 16 it gives an icon to ubuntu, but I wait and i wait and the os doesn't load. | 02:31 |
| Out_Cold | ssmy, on the card you don't want of course | 02:32 |
| shushek | Alan502, perhaps two amateur can become a pro one day:) | 02:32 |
| _schism_ | evening all | 02:32 |
| Out_Cold | gigglefight, what's the other one? | 02:32 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: but anyway...as you'll install XP later, so your PC will directly boot to XP, so to get your Ubuntu again....you'll have to run GURB again once.... | 02:32 |
| gigglefight | ends with 14. the other one loads perfectly | 02:32 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, but yeah I'll do some research, but its gonna get installed on a secondary hard drive. i just have to figure out how to set it so i don't have to do much fighting with it. | 02:32 |
| azrael_ | hey any knowledgable about installing flash on ubuntu | 02:32 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: then the duel boot will successfully activate.... | 02:33 |

| Out_Cold | gigglefight, the -16 is a newer kernel but maybe something went wrong with the update | 02:33 |

| Sabre-night | Xfact, by GURB you mean the install disk i had made? | 02:33 |
| jcc1 | Sabre-night: XP will aways overwrite the boot partition, so that is why installing XP first may be easier for you, check tldp.org for the HOWTO | 02:33 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: ubuntu-restricted-extras ..install that package | 02:33 |
| gigglefight | oh. is there a solution to re update? btetter yet, I'd like to try the 64-bit distro.. if there's a karmic koala version | 02:34 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras .type that in a terminal | 02:34 |

| Alan502 | shushek, of course! | 02:34 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, you know more than i do and im only a few weeks fresh to linux :T | 02:35 |
| azrael_ | the flashplayer nonfree has a new mirror or sumthing so it fails download | 02:35 |
| noric | When installing 9.10 desktop, must I manually enable something to take full advantage of my intel quad core? Thanks. | 02:35 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: that will show ubuntu with windows xp at the boot time, then you can select which to run.... | 02:35 |
| gigglefight | warehos: how would I go about uninstalling the 32bit and finding the 64bit? | 02:35 |
| jcc1 | noric: no | 02:35 |
| noric | jcc1: ty | 02:35 |
| Maletor | I've got an issue, where when I restart my computer my 'overscan compensation | 02:35 |
| gigglefight | then there's the problem of the two bootloaders. | 02:35 |
| Alan502 | shushek, maybe asking with the specifc model of your motherboard/usb card might help | 02:35 |
| Alan502 | shushek, pastebin what lspci lists | 02:35 |
| Xfact | Sabre-night: I am 5 days old in Linux...and never used LLinux before...(I used XP) | 02:35 |
| Xfact | :) | 02:35 |
| gigglefight | warehos: please send a link to the 64bit version. :) | 02:36 |
| Shazam | i'm having an intermittent crash, and trying to track down the cause. Under dmesg, I got the following message "cpufreq: FSB changing is maybe unstable and can lead to crashes and data loss." It also reports the FSB is set at 100 MHz. I'm having trouble interpreting the messsage. Does this seem a likely culprit? | 02:36 |
| warehos | link sent gigglefight | 02:36 |
| bastid_raZor | /w 13 | 02:36 |
| Maletor | I've got an issue, where when I restart my computer my 'overscan compensation' setting that I've changed in my Nvidia 190.53 settings doesn't work. I have to open it up, then when I do it's as if it all the sudden remembers and sets up my overscan compensation to 100 just as I had it. What can I do to get rid of my overscan? | 02:36 |
| jcc1 | noric: if you want to see the quad in action, open a terminal and type the command "top" then press the "1" key and all processors will be shown. Try "man top" at the terminal to see how that program works | 02:36 |
| warehos | dont be fooled by the "amd64" label, works with intel as well | 02:36 |
| * Xfact still having the problem on alsa line out... :( | 02:36 | |
| gigglefight | thank you alot! | 02:37 |
| noric | Shazam: afaik, cpu frequency scaling is used by laptops to save power.. start there | 02:37 |
| tpuc_org | try oss line out instead | 02:37 |
| noric | jcc1: will try it | 02:37 |
| jcc1 | FSB= front side bus | 02:37 |
| Shazam | noric: i'm on desktop machine. So that shouldn't be a problem? | 02:37 |
| jcc1 | I believe | 02:37 |
| khaotik | was wondering if anyone could help with some bluetooth issues | 02:37 |
| tpuc_org | brush um? | 02:37 |
| noric | Shazam: that's all I got :( | 02:37 |
| tpuc_org | sorry | 02:37 |
| Shazam | noric: hey - i appreciate it. thx | 02:38 |
| azrael_ | man i hate flash | 02:38 |
| azrael_ | still not working | 02:38 |
| warehos | azrael - have you checked out howtoforge.com? | 02:38 |
| azrael_ | no | 02:38 |
| ssmy | Shazam: I would guess that your overclocking settings in the bios are too high, causing your crashes, or at least dmesg thinks so. | 02:38 |
| warehos | http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-p3 | 02:38 |
| gigglefight | do I delete the partician via windows7 os or uninstall via windows7 then install 64bit version? | 02:38 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: have you checked the adobe page for flash? | 02:39 |
| mithridates | how can I remove completely a package that I have installed manually by compiling from source? < Gstreamer > | 02:39 |
| Shazam | ssmy: hmm.. that makes sense. i'll go fiddle there next time i have to reboot | 02:39 |
| azrael_ | the flashplugin nonfree doesn't work | 02:39 |

| khaotik | i cant seem to find my bluetooth adapter, after switching this laptop over | 02:39 |
| azrael_ | yea can't get that one to install | 02:39 |

| ChogyDan | *super | 02:40 |
| Maletor | I have the latest Nvidia drivers for my 9800GTX+ however, there is still overscan when I output to my Vizio 37" (VX37L) How do I ditch the overscan? | 02:40 |

| Shazam | Daugha|n: you can play a dvd with totem, or mplayer, etc | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | Daughain: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:40 |
| Sabre-night | Xfact, ah i see. well luck to ya :D | 02:40 |
| Daugha|n | IdleOne, Thanks, I can never remember that sucker. | 02:40 |
| Out_Cold | no more ~/.bashrc? | 02:40 |
| gigglefight | thanks everyone! Happy New Year. | 02:41 |
| Daugha|n | khaotik, Did ya upgrade to Karmic? | 02:42 |
| jcc1 | Out_Cold: what do you mean? | 02:42 |
| Alan502 | Someone PLEASE help me setting up my Samba! yes i have read the ubuntu help documentation | 02:42 |
| khaotik | actually i am running elive, it is still debian tho | 02:42 |
| jcc1 | Out_Cold: I have a ~.bashrc | 02:42 |
| Daugha|n | khaotik, Ok, I can;t help ya there....I just know a bit about BT in karmic. I'm a newb. =) | 02:43 |
| khaotik | i run ubuntu but this new one i installed elive and nothing lists the bluetooth in lspci | 02:43 |
| mithridates | ChogyDan: is there any guideline to install fresh gstream on karlic ? | 02:43 |
| Out_Cold | jcc1, i wonder why i don't.. maybe i just need to make one? | 02:43 |
| jcc1 | Alan502: This may help http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/introduction.html | 02:43 |
| ChogyDan | mithridates: Ive no idea. Usually people rely upon the packages. You could try updating the package | 02:44 |
| lunix | gigglefight I just had some bootloader problems myself. Since I switched around om some disks the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file pointed to another disk than the correct one:) I had to boot from another system and manually fix the grub.cfg file. After that it booted well, by running update-grub, the grub fixes it self (hopefully) :) | 02:44 |
| Out_Cold | the only thing close is .bash_history | 02:44 |
| detrix | I need help setting up wine. its installed. I am trying to add an app, but its not showing up on the menu. Just need to know what I am missing. | 02:44 |
| jcc1 | Alan502: it is the smb.conf info page | 02:44 |
| mithridates | ChogyDan: what do u use for playing mp3 movies ...? | 02:44 |
| Alan502 | jcc1, my smb.conf is correctly configured apparently, i can see my folder from the windows machine, but i cannot connect to the shared folder | 02:44 |
| Out_Cold | mithridates, i use VLC and it works for almost everything | 02:45 |
| ChogyDan | azrael_: http://chogydan.blogspot.com/2009/10/ubuntu-tweaks-karmic-koala.html try the second paragraph | 02:45 |
| ChogyDan | mithridates: same advice ^ | 02:45 |
| mithridates | ok nice | 02:45 |
| mithridates | tnx | 02:45 |
| jcc1 | Out_Cold: yeah, bash still uses it, try to re-install bash maybe, mine is there from the default install | 02:45 |
| Krabmeat1 | should a new user load firestarter - the firewall program? | 02:45 |
| Maletor | What's the best Ubuntu Dock? Docky? | 02:45 |
| Xfact | i love ubuntu...it's very fast! | 02:46 |
| eurythmia | Maletor, check out gnomedo | 02:46 |
| Maletor | word | 02:46 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: ufw is the simple "by default" installed firewall, you may want to dig into that first as well as iptables, it is not simple | 02:46 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: thanks for the help. one thing: how do i dig into ufw? | 02:47 |
| recmajkemi | how can i set up pernament allowance to my key collection for my wifi | 02:48 |
| azrael_ | kay that didn't work | 02:48 |
| azrael_ | anything else | 02:48 |
| jcc1 | Alan502: have you run smbpasswd? | 02:48 |
| azrael_ | any one know how to troubleshoot flash | 02:48 |
| eurythmia | Maletor, I use the "glass" theme, but there is a "docky" theme that will work well for you ... looks very much like the OS X dock. :) | 02:48 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, these methods we show you are proven methods that work and work well for thousands of users... you need to learn some shell basics.. | 02:49 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: "man ufw" | 02:49 |
| jcc1 | for starters | 02:49 |
| azrael_ | dude out cold y do you have so much hate for me | 02:49 |
| pigglet | hello all... i can't display foreign characters in sound-juicer/audacious-player... i have all the languages installed! anyone know how to??? | 02:49 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:49 |
| azrael_ | bro stop with the hate ok | 02:50 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, i'm like the older brother that beats you up to toughen you up for the real world | 02:50 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: sorry, but i am supposed to type that into terminal? | 02:50 |
| azrael_ | no need man | 02:50 |
| === John is now known as Guest2499 | ||
| Out_Cold | seriously though... read that | 02:50 |
| bazhang | Krabmeat1, you can install gufw if you need a gui for ufw | 02:50 |
| Out_Cold | we are here to help... not hold your hand while you jerk off | 02:50 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: I know you're smiling now, but really.... you gotta learn the basics before you complain about not knowing the basics :-) | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: you mean to ask how you can connect to wireless without entering the keyring password? | 02:50 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: yes | 02:50 |
| azrael_ | not complaining guys | 02:51 |
| azrael_ | flash isn't working | 02:51 |
| Out_Cold | yes you are.. | 02:51 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: yes | 02:51 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: man is the manual page lister | 02:51 |
| azrael_ | but i have it installed | 02:51 |
| azrael_ | the terminal did its thing | 02:51 |
| Alan502 | jcc1, i setted 'guest ok = yes' do i still need smbpasswd? | 02:51 |
| azrael_ | i was asking if anyone know how to trouble shot it | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: i got a video of how to set the keyring password to 'empty/change it' at -> http://drop.io/dr_willis | 02:51 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, how doesn't it work | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: its easier to just show then to explain. :) | 02:51 |
| azrael_ | um when i go on youtube theirs no video or sound | 02:51 |
| Krabmeat1 | so man is kind of like a description of the prorgam | 02:52 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: I tried over authorisations but i dont know how to | 02:52 |
| azrael_ | but in my synapitic package manger it says it installed | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: i set my keyring password to be empty that way it dosent bother to ask.. wireless then connects automatically | 02:52 |
| tpuc_org | try firefox azrael | 02:52 |
| azrael_ | cool cus i was using IE | 02:52 |
| azrael_ | yea i was using firefox | 02:52 |

| Dr_Willis | Chromium browser. :) Opra. :) | 02:53 |
| gabex | anyone know if, after resizing the ubuntu / (only) partition and moving both it and the swap partition to the end of the disk, from the installer cd with gparted, if i need to do anything special to make sure it boots when it's done? | 02:53 |
| gabex | like with grub? | 02:53 |
| jcc1 | Alan502: that only applies to the samba side, not the windows side, yes you seed to set your password with smbpasswd | 02:53 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: in my previous instalation be4 crash, there was a box always allow | 02:53 |
| recmajkemi | didn't see it here | 02:53 |
| Out_Cold | gabex, most likely but i don't know anything about grub2 | 02:53 |
| Krabmeat1 | bazhang: how do i get the graphic firewall interface | 02:54 |
| === alex_ is now known as blocky | ||
| bazhang | Krabmeat1, install gufw | 02:54 |
| __mikem | Dr_Willis: who need chromium, Chrome is available on Ubuntu now | 02:54 |
| Out_Cold | gabex, and most likely /etc/fstab will need new UIDs also | 02:54 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: man is the display program for a very terse manual page, you should really get used to the writing style and use man often, it gets easier with time and experience | 02:54 |
| vendetta_wolf | Hello all. Is this a good place to ask a question about a problem with the Google Chrome browser I am having? Thanks. | 02:54 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: Is it in authorisations, or somwhere else to do it? | 02:54 |
| aitor | hey people | 02:55 |
| azrael_ | didn't work | 02:55 |
| deviad | Hello | 02:55 |
| Out_Cold | well azrael_ you are like a bad zit that people keep throwing medicine at with no results. | 02:55 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: I find most graphic firewall progs more problem than they are worth, but have at it if it's easier for yoy | 02:55 |
| aitor | I`im searching driver for wifiway for the wireles | 02:55 |
| deviad | Is there anything like Acronis true image for Linux? | 02:55 |
| aitor | ske no se mucho ingles | 02:55 |

| shushek | it started since i upgraded to 9.10 | 02:56 |
| tpuc_org | take no notice azrael | 02:56 |
| tpuc_org | were all human nothing more | 02:56 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: terse it may be for you, but it looks very difficult for me and my small linux for dummies book | 02:56 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: "didn't work" tells us nothing, you need to learn how to find help and "exactly" describe what you are doing and what the error message was. we cannot hold your hand like a little girl | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: never noticed an always allow.. I just tweak my keyring password. Explore that apps-> acessories -> passwords and keys tool perhaps | 02:57 |
| howdy-ho | a buddy just wiped out his partition table trying to install ubuntu 9.1. and his dvd drive is an external, not recognized at bootstrap. i need suggestions. | 02:57 |
| azrael_ | aww but i want my handheld | 02:57 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: i think i just found it? yep that was the path. will relogin to see if it works | 02:57 |
| azrael_ | ok plugin not found | 02:57 |
| tpuc_org | go into bios an look for boot from usb | 02:57 |

| Out_Cold | if you already have winblows installed and are stuck with the linux installer then here is a good place | 02:59 |
| datz | Sabre-night: install XP on your other drive, then use the ubuntu live cd and google to configure grub afterwards | 02:59 |
| Sabre-night | Out_Cold, burning an image of a hard drive to a secondary hard drive of a linux machine | 02:59 |
| Out_Cold | Sabre-night, in linux you could try dd | 03:00 |
| datz | I'd like to remove F1 shortcut, how can I do this? | 03:00 |
| recmajkemi | Dr_Willis: K it worked | 03:00 |
| spursncowboys | Hi everyone. On my firewall log, I have a outgoing allowed process from remote host 224.0.0.22 that says rule is to allow igmp to pass through? It happens alot and it rates the severity 10 (on a scale of 1-10) | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | recmajkemi: A+ :) wait till you get my bill. | 03:00 |
| Sabre-night | datz, yeah, but i was thinking.. make an ISO of the virtual drive set up by virtualbox, burn it to my spare hard drive, and see what happens. | 03:00 |
| Sabre-night | Out_Cold, DD? | 03:01 |
| Fezzler | Dr_Willis>> Dr. is in the house! :) | 03:01 |

| Out_Cold | Sabre-night, it's dd but yes | 03:01 |
| tpuc_org | restart the browser azrael | 03:01 |
| azrael_ | did that | 03:01 |
| Krabmeat1 | Hey guys, the other day i had a program that would simply not quit. I tried to close the program as well as kill it with system monitor and the terminal kill command. Neither worked. I ended up having to restart. Was there anything else i could have done? | 03:01 |
| datz | Sabre-night: humm...might work | 03:01 |
| recmajkemi | Another thing my dropbox is downloading its dameon everytime i relogin... didn't do that in the past | 03:01 |

| spursncowboys | Does anyone know a good irc for networking and firewall questions? I think I've been hacked. | 03:02 |

| datz | azrael_: you don't get sound of video? | 03:02 |
| azrael_ | firefox 3 beta 5 | 03:02 |
| Sabre-night | datz, my only issue, is the virtual drive is 21 gigs, and the drive is like 12-13 gigs. | 03:02 |
| azrael_ | i dont get sound or video | 03:02 |
| Out_Cold | spursncowboys, the boys in #remote-exploit might offer some help... but they may hack you too | 03:02 |
| azrael_ | i get missing plugins box | 03:02 |
| datz | Sabre-night: ah, well just find an xp cd if you can. :) | 03:02 |
| ChogyDan | azrael_: did you run that crazy command? | 03:03 |
| Sabre-night | datz, i have one, i'd rather not suffer the annoyance of installing AGAIN, but i guess i pretty much have no choice :P | 03:03 |
| Sabre-night | well ah well, i'll suffer~ bye all! | 03:03 |
| azrael_ | which crazy command? | 03:03 |

| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i appreciate the support. Thanks. One quick question, can you give me a few of the most important terminal commands to look up and learn? | 03:08 |
| datz | Dr_Willis: ok, do you know anyone who has tried? :P | 03:08 |
| warehos | ym alan | 03:08 |

| snoopy | like remote assistance | 03:08 |
| Dr_Willis | datz: nope. Id have to hit the googlemattic | 03:08 |

| Sabre-night | I have a final question | 03:09 |
| shushek | can you advice on that Alan502 | 03:09 |
| Sabre-night | can anyone help me load "Magic Jack" onto Ubuntu 9.10? | 03:09 |
| pjotter | Question about sound: I have installed Ubuntu 9.10. All sound works fine. Except I can't hear myself through speakers or headset when I'm talking into the microphone. I can record myself and play it back. But somehow, I can't actually hear live playback. Is that normal? | 03:09 |
| pjotter | (sorry misspelled my initial question) | 03:09 |
| shane2peru | ok, question, I'm using a laptop with something like 1200 x 800 resolution, my projector only can handle the 4:3 ratio, is there any way to set it up to work correctly without really making my laptop screen look pitiful? | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Sabre-night: Id be suprised if that works.. wife has one.. on her xp box.. | 03:10 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: less, ls, mkdir, touch, cd, pwd, and more, of course, check out the howto's on tldp.org. many are somewhat dated but there is one good one that still is applicable, the DOS2UNIX document | 03:10 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, go into synaptic and find flashplugin-installer | 03:10 |
| azrael_ | wats the newest verson of firefox? | 03:10 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, 3.5 | 03:10 |
| Mutro | hoi all | 03:10 |
| Krabmeat1 | good stuff jcc1, thanks | 03:10 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, it worked while i was on XP, and thats kinda why im putting up such a fight with this, but i've trued putting it through Wine, but can't figure it out at all. | 03:10 |
| azrael_ | its installed | 03:10 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: also check "man builtins" and the info program | 03:11 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, i tried making a virtual machine just so it could stay up, but it doesn't like VBox either. | 03:11 |
| Out_Cold | azrael_, reinstall it | 03:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Sabre-night: perhaps the wine app database may have some insight. | 03:11 |
| jmoney | Hey I got it to install! | 03:11 |
| warehos | what repo does the flashplayer come from? whatever that is needs to be configured | 03:11 |
| Steamduck | Hello all, I could really use some help. First I need help determining whether or not entry #8 on this site ( http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1361071 ) is what I need. Then I need step by step help with that process | 03:11 |
| jmoney | Now I have a resolution problem | 03:11 |
| jmoney | im stuck at 800 x 600 | 03:11 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, where would that be? | 03:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | 03:12 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 03:12 |
| tpuc_org | anyway its gone 3am here so happy new year to all and goodnight | 03:12 |
| jmoney | I can find xorg.conf anywhere | 03:12 |
| Krabmeat1 | so the terminal can also be called Bash? | 03:12 |
| jmoney | How do I edit the resolution ? | 03:12 |
| azrael_ | kay | 03:12 |
| pjotter | is it normal NOT to hear yourself when talking in a microphone in Ubuntu 9.10? | 03:12 |
| Topher_G | I need help getting my wireless usb to function properly on my desktop with fresh install of 9.10; it is not (and cannot be ) connected to internet; tried rt73 gui but it doesn't work - ideas? | 03:13 |
| shane2peru | jmoney, System -> Administration -> Prefrences -> Desktop | 03:13 |
| Out_Cold | pjotter, how are you recording? | 03:13 |
| shane2peru | jmoney, I mean Display for that last one | 03:13 |
| jmoney | shane2peru, the highest I get is 800 x 600 | 03:13 |
| Alan502 | shushek, hmm ubuntu should prompt you automatically to update | 03:14 |
| jmoney | It says unkown monitor | 03:14 |
| warehos | jmoney = do you use a KVM switch? | 03:14 |
| Out_Cold | Topher_G, have you done any internet updates yet? | 03:14 |
| Topher_G | cannot - not connected | 03:14 |
| pjotter | Out_Cold: I'm using audacity and plain recording tool form the standard menu. | 03:14 |
| datz | jmoney: did you install a hardware driver for your graphics card? | 03:14 |
| Alan502 | shushek, bugfixes are in the ubuntu software center iirc | 03:14 |
| Out_Cold | Topher_G, if you can connect with lan to update you may get it to work right away | 03:14 |
| Steamduck | Hello all, I could really use some help. First I need help determining whether or not entry #8 on this site ( http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1361071 ) is what I need | 03:14 |
| Alan502 | shushek, open up the ubuntu software center, and look for 'updates' | 03:14 |
| Topher_G | but I can't do that - I can't connect lan too far away | 03:15 |
| Out_Cold | pjotter, it should make a voice graph when you record? | 03:15 |
| pjotter | But I can record myself. I just can hear myself "live" when I;ḿ talking into the micorphone. There is no audio playback. | 03:15 |
| pjotter | I mean: I just can't... | 03:15 |
| jmoney | warehos, no | 03:15 |
| jmoney | datz, where can I find that at | 03:16 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, yeeeeah i just went to the Wine chat room ,ad they basically said it can't be done through wine. | 03:16 |
| pjotter | What I need to know is this: When you talk into your micorphone.. do you normally hear yourself through speakers or headset in Ubuntu. Or is this somhow disabled? | 03:16 |
| azrael_ | how do i use tar files? | 03:16 |
| deviad | Can anyone pls suggest me a free program to create backups? | 03:16 |
| azrael_ | how do i use tar files? | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Sabre-night: yea - the wife likes her magicjack.. she had too many issues with skype.. I still perfer skype. | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !tar | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 03:17 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, you just aint going to read any doc huh? | 03:17 |
| warehos | lol | 03:17 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, magicjack is working with Linux??? | 03:17 |
| warehos | azrael = http://ss64.com/bash/tar.html | 03:17 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: no it does not. | 03:17 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: man tar | 03:17 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, i would too. but its my paren't smagic jack, and it doesn't like to work on anyone else's but mine :| | 03:18 |
| azrael_ | i deleted firefox | 03:18 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, ahh, I will stick to Vonage then. :) | 03:18 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: good | 03:18 |
| azrael_ | yea | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Sabre-night: shes got a netbook with it next to her bed. | 03:18 |
| Steamduck | I need help installing a network driver on my 1000HE asus running 9.10 | 03:18 |
| azrael_ | but i have the tar for firfox 3.5.6 | 03:18 |
| azrael_ | but i dont know how to use it | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | azrael_ | 03:18 |
| ubottu | azrael_: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 03:18 |
| jmoney | datz, video Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 | 03:18 |
| darthanubis | axisys, we told you at least 20 times to use the package manager | 03:18 |
| pjotter | deviad: Maybe you should take a look at sBackup or nssBackup. I don't know if there are any better backup utilities out there. | 03:18 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: then you better learn to use tar, try man tar | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: unpack it. cd to the dir it makes, run the program. ./whatevert | 03:19 |
| Sabre-night | Dr_Willis, ofcourse she does :P I've been thinking if a dualboot doesn't work i'll be SOL | 03:19 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, DELTE that friggin tar file | 03:19 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: funny, 9.10 with a fully updated system has that exact same version in the repo | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: You are better off to use the repos. | 03:19 |
| darthanubis | don't use things you have not even bothered to research | 03:19 |
| jcc1 | Sabre-night: have you seen this page? http://oreilly.com/linux/archive/dual-boot-laptop.html | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: or go try the google chromium browser. :) its moar funner. | 03:19 |
| azrael_ | i know i was using ti on windows and i love it | 03:19 |
| DrManhattan | can you compile chrome in 64 bit? | 03:20 |
| azrael_ | but firefox has more support rite now | 03:20 |
| lstarnes | DrManhattan: yes | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: i just installed it from the google repos... | 03:20 |
| jcc1 | Dr_Willis: I like chrome for quick lookups, although not as functional, it is fast | 03:20 |
| Steamduck | I need help installing a network driver on my 1000HE asus running 9.10 | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: dident compile anything, | 03:20 |
| DrManhattan | Nice - I was pretty sure they released the source | 03:20 |
| bastid_raZor | DrManhattan: they actually have a beta of chrome in the repo | 03:20 |
| DrManhattan | that chrome os is wasted though | 03:20 |
| pjotter | Is there anyone who can tell me, yes or no, should there be audio playback in Ubuntu when you talk into your mic? | 03:20 |
| DrManhattan | there's a 64 bit beta of chrome in the repos? | 03:20 |
| azrael_ | so how do i use tars? | 03:20 |
| darthanubis | I like the way Chrome loads all the web ADS much faster!!!111 | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jcc1: it has extensioons now and has just about replaced firefox for me.. there just seem sto be a few quirks in the adblocking extensions that make them not work on some sites. :) where firefox does work right | 03:21 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: extract it then follow the instructions | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: its an archive. You extract it. see the 'unp' command | 03:21 |
| lstarnes | DrManhattan: I think google has 64-bit .debs | 03:21 |
| DrManhattan | thats sweet. | 03:21 |
| bastid_raZor | DrManhattan: chromium | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: google repos has chromuimn browser for 64bit.. Im using it now | 03:21 |
| DrManhattan | Chrome, chromium, all the same to me | 03:21 |
| darthanubis | If you want ADS use Chromium | 03:21 |
| jcc1 | pjotter: I don't have that problem with earlier distros, but haven't tried it on 9.10 yet | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: the 2 are not the same. :) | 03:22 |
| lstarnes | I had chrome, not chromium | 03:22 |
| DrManhattan | by ADS, you mean advertising? | 03:22 |
| darthanubis | DrManhattan, yes | 03:22 |
| azrael_ | an error occurred while extracting files. | 03:22 |
| azrael_ | is wat i got | 03:22 |
| azrael_ | i wish i didn't suck so hard | 03:22 |
| pjotter | jcc1: So you can hear yourself through speakers an headset when talking into the mic? | 03:22 |
| * Dr_Willis points out that there is the adblock extension for google chromium browser now.. | 03:22 | |
| darthanubis | azrael_, because you don't know what you are doing and won't follow sane advice | 03:22 |
| DrManhattan | why would google's browser have any more or less advertisement | 03:22 |
| * Dr_Willis points out that privoxy works good also with it. :) | 03:23 | |
| azrael_ | i am following advise | 03:23 |
| jcc1 | Dr_Willis: So far I like it, too, about 60% chrome and 40% firefox, firefox is definitely bloated | 03:23 |
| darthanubis | DrManhattan, because it does not have an adblokcer, and Google is in the business of ADs | 03:23 |
| meianandh | hi all, i need help in configuring my wireless in Ubuntu... its a HP laptop - the wireless LED is off - and i m unable to turn that on | 03:23 |
| rahduke | Every time i create a folder thru my network onto a different machine, it is not editable from the machine it was created on... There is a little lock on the folder, how can i stop this from happening? | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | darthanubis: theres adblock extensions.. and other features.. | 03:23 |
| lstarnes | darthanubis: chrome lacks one too | 03:23 |
| azrael_ | i uninstall firefox and that wasn't my idea | 03:23 |
| lstarnes | darthanubis: but there might be extensions | 03:23 |
| shushek | Alan502, i do get updates, but those are only about the kernela nd the apps i use... nothing much.. is am missing something.. | 03:23 |
| azrael_ | to fix my flash problem | 03:23 |
| darthanubis | Dr_Willis, you just pointed out how useless the adblocking is | 03:23 |
| rahduke | does that make sense? | 03:24 |
| Scott1979 | i may be able to help meianandah | 03:24 |
| Alan502 | shushek, update, it might be a kernel problem | 03:24 |
| darthanubis | the "bloated" Firefox just works | 03:24 |
| rahduke | firefox blows | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | darthanubis: no i did not.. i said its got a few quirks.. | 03:24 |
| azrael_ | ok so it now in a folder now wat? | 03:24 |
| DrManhattan | darthanubis, it blocks popups on windows... | 03:24 |
| Daugha|n | How important is the msfont crap to the ubuntu-restricted-extras istall? | 03:24 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: cd into it | 03:24 |
| jcc1 | Yeah, but who cares aboyt ad-blocking, it's such a minor irritattion... now pop-ups, that is another story :-) | 03:24 |
| azrael_ | wats does cd mean? | 03:24 |
| Sabre-night | jcc1, what about it? my main drive is 120 and i'll have windows on a 12-13 gig bit :\ i think i have plenty space. | 03:24 |
| darthanubis | DrManhattan, most browsers block popups lol, but ADS | 03:24 |
| lstarnes | Daugha|n: it is required by ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:24 |
| darthanubis | not so much | 03:24 |
| lstarnes | darthanubis: ad is lowercase | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: change directory | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: the command is cd | 03:25 |
| azrael_ | kay | 03:25 |
| Daugha|n | lstarnes, Well, shit, then. It repeatedly fails to install on this system. | 03:25 |
| jcc1 | Sabre-night: Sounds like you do to me, with a 120, I would split half and half | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | https://chrome.google.com/extensions | 03:25 |
| meway | I have a partition with windows xp and linux In grub 2 how do i get rid of the extra options It is giveing me 3 extra | 03:25 |
| DrManhattan | I've not seen a browser that blocks ads, you generally need to install software for that. | 03:25 |
| Topher_G | can anyone help me install the RT73 driver for my wireless usb - no internet, but I have the files; tried the GUI but it didn't work | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | Daugha|n: you could manually install the other packages required by it | 03:25 |
| Sabre-night | jcc1, and if it really causes any issues, i'll just kill windows | 03:25 |
| darthanubis | lstarnes, capital is for EMPHASIS | 03:25 |
| meway | I think 3 | 03:25 |
| jcc1 | Sabre-night: ther ya go | 03:25 |
| lstarnes | darthanubis: we don't use caps here | 03:25 |
| azrael_ | kay wat do i do next | 03:26 |
| darthanubis | lstarnes, I'll use them when apropriate | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: is there a readme file or such in there? | 03:26 |
| Daugha|n | lstarnes, VIa command line or synaptics? | 03:26 |
| rahduke | is there a memory fox equivalent plugin for linux? | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | Daugha|n: either | 03:26 |
| shushek | Alan502, that is wht the forums says.. and does that mean tht i've live with is for the time being.. I"M NOT GOIN TO WINDOWS AT ANY COST | 03:26 |
| cencalrigger | so, i'm moving from XP (and happy for it) but i'm still tied to Windows by Adobe's Video editing software. Anyone know of any programs that run in linux for video editing? I do it professionally, so i can't quite stop, or accept low quality | 03:26 |
| Daugha|n | Point me to a resource for the list? | 03:26 |
| azrael_ | yes | 03:26 |
| azrael_ | For information about installing, running and configuring Firefox | 03:26 |
| azrael_ | including a list of known issues and troubleshooting information, | 03:26 |
| azrael_ | refer to: http://getfirefox.com/releases/ | 03:26 |
| darthanubis | lstarnes, there you go CAP police | 03:26 |
| FloodBot2 | azrael_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:26 |
| darthanubis | get em | 03:26 |
| HFSPLUS | wats da best filesystem? | 03:26 |
| lstarnes | Daugha|n: apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:27 |
| lstarnes | HFSPLUS: it depends on what you need | 03:27 |
| darthanubis | !best | HFSPLUS | 03:27 |
| ubottu | HFSPLUS: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:27 |
| lstarnes | Daugha|n: that command will give you the packages installed with ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:27 |
| Ziber | !setuid | 03:27 |
| jcc1 | cencalrigger: Then keep a MS box going for that. There is stuff out there but setup and learning curce costs money if you are doing it pro | 03:27 |
| Krabmeat1 | what is the point of the echo command? | 03:27 |
| azrael_ | wat next | 03:27 |
| Daugha|n | lstarnes, Ok, off to give that a try next. =) | 03:27 |
| lstarnes | Krabmeat1: to print data to the terminal | 03:27 |
| jcc1 | curce = curve | 03:27 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: ./firefox | 03:28 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: mainly in scripts | 03:28 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, your following bad advice | 03:28 |
| Alan502 | shushek, update it can help | 03:28 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, you have firefox on your system already | 03:28 |
| azrael_ | ok | 03:28 |
| azrael_ | no | 03:28 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: you really should use the official versions packaged with ubuntu | 03:29 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| azrael_ | ok | 03:29 |
| azrael_ | i just wanted to get flash working | 03:29 |
| jcc1 | azrael_: Until you learn simple commands, stick with the package manager | 03:29 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, for newer firefox's all you needed to do was add mozilla's repo or install ubuntutweak | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: thats not going to get flash going | 03:29 |
| azrael_ | and i was told to uninstall my firefox and reinstall it | 03:29 |
| socomm | HEY GUYS | 03:30 |
| cencalrigger | jcc1: thank you. none of the retailers i run through sell software for linux, which makes sense, linux being mostly free of charge. and i'm tired of $1200 every 2 years for adobe anyway. | 03:30 |
| lstarnes | azrael_: the flashplugin-nonfree package should work for that | 03:30 |
| socomm | I can't clear my recent history on firefox | 03:30 |
| darthanubis | sad | 03:30 |
| socomm | WHAT DO? | 03:30 |
| azrael_ | it did not | 03:30 |
| FloodBot2 | socomm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: and you use the package manager to uninstall/reinstall things.. and thats proberly not going to 'get flash going' either | 03:30 |
| darthanubis | socomm, read firefox's FAQ | 03:30 |
| socomm | darthanubis: huh? | 03:30 |
| socomm | darthanubis:hold on | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: you could try the opera and chromium browsers - thse might work with whatever flasx you got installed. | 03:30 |
| darthanubis | socomm, this channel is for UBUNTU help | 03:30 |
| DrManhattan | there's nothing in linux that can even compare to the cs4 suite | 03:30 |
| Krabmeat1 | what command lists all the files in a directory again? | 03:30 |
| lstarnes | Krabmeat1: ls | 03:30 |
| darthanubis | DrManhattan, what is your point? | 03:31 |
| lstarnes | Krabmeat1: or ls -A | 03:31 |
| socomm | darthanubis: this is a ubuntu issue, I don't have this issue on windows | 03:31 |
| dfelinto | hello there. Does any one knows if any recent Ubuntu upgrade messed up with gdm? I'm getting ""pam_unix(gdm:auth): authentication failure"" from my user since yesterday (root logins fine though) | 03:31 |
| DrManhattan | darthanubis, I'm placing you on ignore now. | 03:31 |
| darthanubis | socomm, no, it is a Firefox issue | 03:31 |
| jcc1 | cencalrigger: I would start with a simple linux system for all else but pro work id I were you, and as you learn and get comfortable with setups, compiling etc, then make the leap | 03:31 |
| socomm | DrManhattan: lol | 03:31 |
| darthanubis | DrManhattan, hurry | 03:31 |
| socomm | darthanubis: lol, if you caon't fix it pipe down | 03:31 |
| Krabmeat1 | ok what does the -A do? | 03:31 |
| socomm | darthanubis: your ignorance is quite clear | 03:31 |
| lstarnes | Krabmeat1: list all files including hidden files | 03:31 |
| ziroday | socomm: does ctrl+alt+delete not work? | 03:31 |
| darthanubis | socomm, I can, your in the wrong channel | 03:31 |
| JaneDoe | hello folks. happy new year to you all. not ubuntu related but which channel here is ecommerce oriented? | 03:31 |
| darthanubis | socomm, hello pot | 03:32 |
| DrManhattan | socomm, he's done nothing but troll since i started paying attention to the channel. | 03:32 |
| lstarnes | JaneDoe: there aren't any on freenode as far as I know | 03:32 |
| Krabmeat1 | aaaaahhh ok. thanks | 03:32 |
| socomm | ziroday: yeah, the okay button is gone on that | 03:32 |
| ziroday | socomm: err sorry, ctrl+shift+delete | 03:32 |
| socomm | ziroday: let me get you a screenshot | 03:32 |
| cencalrigger | DrManhattan: that may be, but comming this year, i'll have to buy into CS5 to even keep pace with the competition. | 03:32 |
| meway | Hello I am running ubuntu v 9.10 and the GNU GRUB screen gives me way to many options Ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-16-generic ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-16-gemeroc (recovery mode) Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-generic and Its recovery mode as well as Memory test (memtest86+) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200) also I have a microsoft xp partition I am keeping Anyone That knows of a topic or forum post I can read to fix this please | 03:32 |
| ziroday | socomm: was just going to ask :) | 03:32 |
| meway | the wall | 03:32 |
| lstarnes | JaneDoe: or at least none that are big enough to warrant being mentioned | 03:32 |
| DrManhattan | cencalrigger, correct. | 03:32 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: tsk, tsk, check the man page :-) -a all -A almost all | 03:32 |
| Daugha|n | ALso seem to be having an issue with sourceforge.....A lot of 'unable to resolve' issues it seems.....Did I forget something in my sources? | 03:32 |
| meway | Also I am running Grub 2 | 03:32 |
| ziroday | meway: it is no problem, just always choose the latest version | 03:32 |
| JaneDoe | lstarnes: thanks. | 03:32 |
| darthanubis | meway, fix what exatcly? | 03:32 |
| azrael_ | YAY firefox is back | 03:32 |
| HFSPLUS | who thinks f40phs are hot? | 03:33 |
| meway | darthanubis I dont want so many options to appear | 03:33 |
| rahduke | Every time i create a folder thru my network onto a different machine, it is not editable from the machine it was created on... There is a little lock on the folder, how can i stop this from happening? | 03:33 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1 your man page was over my head | 03:33 |
| ziroday | meway: if you want to hide the options then you need to edit your /etc/default/grub | 03:33 |
| ziroday | !grub2 > meway | 03:33 |
| ubottu | meway, please see my private message | 03:33 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: you can unistall the older kernels in synaptic or aptitude and they will be removed | 03:33 |
| darthanubis | meway, don't touch those options if you have no clue what you are doing or what those options are there for. That would be a BAD idea | 03:33 |
| socomm | now I need somewhere to upload to | 03:34 |
| ziroday | !imagebin > socomm | 03:34 |
| ubottu | socomm, please see my private message | 03:34 |
| socomm | anyone know good play to upload temp images to? | 03:34 |
| socomm | ziroday: thx | 03:34 |
| warehos | rahduke - you need to setup umask in the profile of the user that is creating the folders | 03:34 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: But it was right at the top of the page and simple :-) | 03:34 |
| rahduke | warehos: its a windows7 machine | 03:34 |
| neil_d | in the /var/cache/bind directory the .jnl files are large (e.g. 316K and 482K) how do I flush them? | 03:34 |
| socomm | ziroday: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1120 | 03:35 |
| cencalrigger | DrManhattan: yeah, i'm just getting tired of buying the new version, rather than being able to tweak the original, or, heaven forbid, adjust it to auto-operate in a way consistent with my stylistic preferences. | 03:35 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: you mean man builtit | 03:35 |
| warehos | rahduke - are you using smb or nfs to connect? | 03:35 |
| meway | how do i uninstall the old kernals? and yes I am new to the files | 03:35 |
| rahduke | warehos: smb | 03:35 |
| jcc1 | no no, man ls | 03:35 |
| lstarnes | meway: sudo aptitude remove linux-kernel-VERSION-generic | 03:35 |
| shushek | i take your advice Alan, however it wont seems to be... | 03:35 |
| darthanubis | !synaptic | meway | 03:35 |
| ubottu | meway: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:35 |
| ziroday | socomm: hmm, could you try create a new profile, and see if that issue persists | 03:35 |
| lstarnes | meway: er, replace kernel with image in that | 03:35 |
| Krabmeat1 | so does man tell me what every command does? | 03:36 |
| rahduke | warehos: do u know how one would go about doing that? | 03:36 |
| DrManhattan | cencalrigger, I hear you and adobe's software is prohibitively expensive - but don't expect to find an equivalent for it on Ubuntu or ANY distro of linux. | 03:36 |
| ziroday | Krabmeat1: yes | 03:36 |
| ChogyDan | meway: try System > Admin > Computer Janitor before you try those other suggestions | 03:36 |
| azrael_ | ok firefox is back up but flash is still not working | 03:36 |
| socomm | ziroday: thats what i wanted to avoid, but guess only option I got right now | 03:36 |
| ziroday | socomm: or you can try safemode | 03:36 |
| shushek | may be i guess i have to live with this for a while before someone wise would check and get it corrected.. | 03:36 |
| Krabmeat1 | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh now i am making progress | 03:36 |
| darthanubis | azrael_, told you | 03:36 |
| azrael_ | it is installed but when i load youtube or anyother video it says missing plugins | 03:36 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: just about every command and more, it tells about setup files, programming, etc | 03:36 |
| rahduke | warehos: I'll look into it, another issue I'm running into is I've installed a new ext3 HDD and it is not using the same trashcan as my other drives.... | 03:36 |
| shushek | but am glad you heard my request. Thank you so very much | 03:36 |
| meway | ok hopefully this helps me | 03:37 |
| socomm | ziroday: yeah that did it, so odd | 03:37 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: how do i back out of the man menu thing | 03:37 |
| socomm | ziroday: thanks for | 03:37 |
| * socomm gives ziroday +10 karma | 03:37 | |
| ziroday | socomm: no problem | 03:37 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: each man section , 1 - 8 , applies to certain areas of the system, section 8 user commands section 1 - admin commands, section 5 setup/config files, etc | 03:38 |
| cencalrigger | DrManhattan: Right on. Yes, the truth is unpleasent, but better to have gotten that info strait, rather than waste hours looking... or worse, f^ someone's project finding out the hard way. Thanks. Guess i could try running adobe via WINE, which i'll post on how that comes out. | 03:38 |
| cencalrigger | thanks guys | 03:38 |
| dreamflying | how to configure the NFS? | 03:38 |
| azrael_ | is google chrome in repos? | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !nfs | 03:38 |
| meway | oh my I hope none of these packets are needed | 03:38 |
| darthanubis | !nfs | dreamflying | 03:38 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 03:38 |
| ziroday | azrael_: nope | 03:38 |
| ubottu | dreamflying: please see above | 03:38 |
| ssmy | cencalrigger: if so, check the wine appdb for tips, etc. | 03:38 |
| azrael_ | sad face | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: google has their own repos you can add. | 03:39 |
| jcc1 | cencalrigger: I've tried a few adobe progs under Wine, not good | 03:39 |
| dreamflying | thanks | 03:39 |
| ziroday | azrael_: however there is a PPA | 03:39 |
| azrael_ | ? | 03:39 |
| azrael_ | ppa? | 03:39 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i am in section 1 i think. but how do i get back to the terminal | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux | 03:39 |
| jcc1 | cencalrigger: for straight phtos though, gimp is as good as any | 03:39 |
| socomm | Yeah I'd say steer clear of WINE | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | azrael_: i just get the package from that url and install it.. it adds the google repo for it. and installs it. | 03:39 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: just type the letter q for quit | 03:40 |
| azrael_ | huh? | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux | 03:40 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: thanks! | 03:40 |
| cencalrigger | ah, good to know. yes, i like gimp for photos. it's got everything i need, and runs fairly simply. | 03:40 |
| azrael_ | oh that the dep file? | 03:40 |
| meway | bastid_raZor how do I know what older kernals i have are ? | 03:40 |
| azrael_ | cus that errored out on me | 03:41 |
| azrael_ | cus it me | 03:41 |
| cencalrigger | Thank you all. Enjoy your night/day (location dependent) | 03:41 |
| jcc1 | cencalrigger: and there are lots of good howto's/tutorials on the web, including youtube | 03:41 |
| objorn | how can i tell what wireless driver i'm using? | 03:41 |
| jcc1 | lsmod | 03:41 |
| jcc1 | will get you started | 03:42 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: type uname -a in a terminal.. something like : 2.6.31-16-generic will be in the output.. that is the current kernel. just don't uninstall that one and you are good | 03:42 |
| neil_d | in the /var/cache/bind directory the .jnl files are large (e.g. 316K and 482K) how do I flush them? | 03:43 |
| meway | bastid_raZor k thanks where are they located again? | 03:43 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: search for them in synaptic | 03:43 |
| Krabmeat1 | using the ls command, how do i search every single file on the computer for an * say.... its 'ls -a *\**' but what directory do i need to be in? | 03:43 |
| jcc1 | objorn: at a terminal try that command "lsmod" that will show all the modules loaded, yours may be obvious | 03:43 |
| objorn | jcc1: it's not so obvious | 03:44 |
| jcc1 | or not :-) | 03:44 |
| objorn | i've been looking at it since someone mentioned it | 03:44 |
| meway | bastid_raZor I am not great with navigateing yet I found synaptic package manager but not sure what im looking at | 03:44 |
| jcc1 | objorn: Do you know the model of the card? | 03:44 |
| bastid_raZor | !synaptic | meway ... a great howto is here > | 03:44 |
| ubottu | meway ... a great howto is here >: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:44 |
| objorn | jcc1 and others: http://pastebin.com/f59ee9728 | 03:45 |
| unop | Krabmeat1, you can't use ls for this purpose, you need find. find / -name "*\**" | 03:45 |
| jcc1 | objorn: you could try the dmesg command and that may show what was loaded on boot | 03:45 |
| azrael_ | ok | 03:45 |
| objorn | jcc1: yeah, looked there too. thanks for mentioning lsmod btw | 03:45 |
| jcc1 | objorn: you did not see it in dmesg? | 03:46 |
| objorn | maybe this is it [ 9.577735] iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27k | 03:46 |

| jmoney | i installed the driver for it | 03:48 |
| jmoney | still not working | 03:48 |
| Krabmeat1 | how do i get the terminal to jump to my windows partitions hard drive? I press cd then what? i dont know the "address" | 03:48 |
| azrael_ | i'm really starting to think i should switch to win7 | 03:49 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: first you have to see if the partition is "mounted" | 03:49 |
| azrael_ | i have wasted a whole day trying to get flash working | 03:49 |

| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: Chrome | 03:50 |
| azrael_ | true | 03:50 |
| azrael_ | i tried chrome with dep files but it errors out on me | 03:51 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: what does that mean and how do i find out? | 03:51 |
| azrael_ | they error dependency is not satisdiable : libnspr4-0d | 03:51 |
| jmoney | where do i find xorg.conf | 03:51 |
| minimec | Krabmeat1: cd /media , then ls | 03:51 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: Have a tried installing that lib ? | 03:51 |
| jmoney | its not in /etc/x11/ | 03:51 |
| azrael_ | and i can find it on synaptic cus i'm a noob | 03:51 |
| lstarnes | jmoney: if it exists, look in /etc/X11/ | 03:51 |
| azrael_ | it is | 03:51 |
| bastid_raZor | Krabmeat1: sudo fdisk -l (lowercase L) .. that will show you which partition it is. also you can type mount to see if it is mounted and where | 03:51 |
| lstarnes | jmoney: if it's not there, then it probably doesn't exist | 03:51 |
| jmoney | lstarnes, so how would I go about that | 03:51 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: every filesystem has to be mounted to be used on a UNIX system, type "sudo mount" at the command line | 03:51 |
| jmoney | im stuck at 800 x 600 resolution | 03:52 |
| Broam | azrael_: there's the adobe-flashplayer package in the partner repo and there's good old flashplugin-nonfree (or whatever it's called) | 03:52 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: KK minute, checking something | 03:52 |
| jmoney | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048 | 03:52 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: it may have something to do with you upgrading from 8.04 directly to 9.10 | 03:52 |
| Broam | jmoney: what video card? | 03:52 |
| azrael_ | come on 2 more people | 03:52 |
| azrael_ | yea that failed | 03:52 |
| Krabmeat1 | when i did the cd /media code, the name of the partioned drive showed up. does this mean it is mounted? | 03:52 |
| Broam | azrael_: then again, you ARE trying to install flash. Pox on the web 'n all that | 03:52 |
| jmoney | intel 865g chipset | 03:52 |
| jmoney | i even installed the driver for it | 03:52 |
| Broam | jmoney: hmm...800x600 screams "I'm using the VESA driver" | 03:52 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: try installing that package : libnspr4-dev | 03:53 |
| jmoney | Broam, how can I fix this problem ? | 03:53 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: there will be a lot of output, you are looking for "ntfs" on one of the lines since the XP or whatever partition is probably an ntfs filesystem | 03:53 |
| warehos | for all the time spent trying to get frickin flash to work, probably better to just do a clean install of 9.10 as opposed to upgrade | 03:53 |
| azrael_ | done | 03:53 |
| Broam | jmoney: the only intel chipset I have is i915, but my guess is if you haven't looked in your dmesg, or your /etc/Xorg.0.log, I'd start there | 03:53 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: if it is not there, it's not mounted so the kernel can't see it | 03:53 |
| DrManhattan | flash is really easy to get to work... | 03:54 |
| Broam | azrael_: firefox: about:plugins tell you anything interesting? | 03:54 |
| warehos | not for azrael | 03:54 |
| warehos | lol | 03:54 |
| LJR | warehos, what seems to be the problem? | 03:54 |
| warehos | im just saying 30 minutes reinstall>>>6 hours trying to get flash to work | 03:54 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i can see the name of the hard drive when i click places on the GUI | 03:54 |
| warehos | LJR, i'm doing fine | 03:54 |
| meway | bastid_raZor: they all appear to be uninstalled | 03:54 |
| Broam | warehos: agreed especially if /home is separate partition (or it not, newer installers supposedly keep or backup /home anyway) | 03:54 |
| azrael_ | nope | 03:54 |
| LJR | warehos, I mean on azrael's flash compat. Something wrong? Why is it taking six hours? | 03:55 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: so what happens when you open that hard drive iconm | 03:55 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: Didn't work ? | 03:55 |
| warehos | ive just never been a fan of doing upgrades | 03:55 |
| jcc1 | icon | 03:55 |
| jmoney | Broam, I have no xorg.log | 03:55 |
| azrael_ | nope | 03:55 |
| warehos | clean install is always a better way to go | 03:55 |
| Broam | jmoney: capital X | 03:55 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: it shows all the files | 03:55 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: then on your next boot you should just see the current kernel and windows in grub | 03:55 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: What does it do now ? | 03:55 |
| Broam | jmoney: Xorg.0.log. Lemme check path | 03:55 |
| jmoney | Broam, nothing there | 03:55 |
| azrael_ | no change | 03:55 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i want to know how to jump to it in terminal so i can search it | 03:55 |
| jmoney | not even in /var/log/ | 03:55 |
| jcc1 | so it is mounted then... what was your prob again? | 03:55 |
| meway | bastid_raZor: I will try its on a seprate pc | 03:55 |
| warehos | LJR - i was just exaggerating...it seems like a very long time is being spent on a trivial issue | 03:55 |
| Broam | jmoney: no Xorg.0.log....wow. how are you typing? another machine? | 03:56 |
| jmoney | Broam, naw | 03:56 |
| Broam | jmoney: or just suffering through 800x600? | 03:56 |
| jmoney | im on in now | 03:56 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i want to know how to jump to it in the terminal so i can use the find command | 03:56 |
| jmoney | Broam, yeahhhh | 03:56 |
| LJR | warehos, I just joined the room - so I have no idea. =P | 03:56 |
| jmoney | lol | 03:56 |
| azrael_ | i love ubuntu | 03:56 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: i have tried the cd command but apparently i am using it incorectly | 03:56 |
| warehos | LJR - no worries :) | 03:56 |
| dreamflying | ctrl +f1 | 03:56 |
| azrael_ | its crazier then me | 03:56 |
| jcc1 | ahh yo need to run the mount command | 03:56 |
| LJR | azrael_, most of us do. ;) | 03:56 |
| bastid_raZor | azrael_: you are a troll. no help for you from me anymore. | 03:56 |
| Broam | azrael_: try loving it when it randomly locks up every time you open too many tabs in FF | 03:56 |
| MoralExpl | mount of filesystem failed, a maintenece shell will now be started control d will terminate this shell and retry then root@plustax:~# | 03:56 |
| azrael_ | i'm not a troll bro | 03:56 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: Try installing that package then : libnspr4-0d | 03:57 |
| inaxio | i need a quick easy way to speed up in .ogv video 2x, ive tried using kino but i have no idea if its even possible and searching gives me irrelavent reuslts | 03:57 |
| Broam | jmoney: so you don't have a Xorg.0.log, but you're running X... | 03:57 |
| MoralExpl | Does this mean the file system is corrupt | 03:57 |
| jcc1 | it will say /dev/sd? on /xxx type ntfs | 03:57 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: yes. | 03:57 |
| jmoney | Broam, yeah | 03:57 |
| jmoney | Broam, I just did a fresh install | 03:57 |
| jcc1 | cd to /xxx | 03:57 |
| Broam | jmoney: of 9.10? | 03:57 |
| jmoney | Broam, yes | 03:57 |
| azrael_ | kay | 03:57 |
| Broam | jmoney: Fresh install 9.10 on intel i815 or i865 chipset? | 03:57 |
| Krabmeat1 | im lost | 03:57 |
| jmoney | Broam, i865g | 03:58 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: to fix it, use "fsck" command | 03:58 |
| azrael_ | no change | 03:58 |
| MoralExpl | Broam, thanks | 03:58 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: *only* do this if it's mounted read-only | 03:58 |

| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: .... open a terminal and type "sudo mount" there will be lots of output | 03:58 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: you *WILL* have bad things happen on a read-write mounted fs :( | 03:58 |
| MoralExpl | Broam, how do I check to make sure it's read-only | 03:58 |
| inaxio | i need a quick easy way to speed up in .ogv video 2x, ive tried using kino but i have no idea if its even possible | 03:58 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: mount | 03:58 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: ok done | 03:58 |
| LJR | jcc1, he shouldn't need to sudo mount just to ping mounted devices, etc. | 03:58 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: it will say "ro" somewhere in the line | 03:58 |
| LJR | Just mount | 03:59 |

| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: one of those lines will say /dev/sd? <something like sdb2> on /xxx the xxx is the directory, the type will say ntfs | 03:59 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: recovery mode is incase something goes wrong and you need a shell to do some fixing. if you uninstalled the kernel-images then they should not be in grub anymore. | 03:59 |
| Broam | jmoney: no EDID data means "I couldn't figure anything out about your monitor" | 03:59 |
| Broam | jmoney: EDID = extended display identification or something like that | 03:59 |
| warehos | yes | 04:00 |
| GhostWolf | warehos and i can record live tv as well? i believe i have a tv turner part of my video card | 04:00 |

| Broam | GhostWolf: yes, if you have a tv tuner that is *supported* mythtv will work. The setup used to be a real pain but apparently it's gotten better recently | 04:00 |
| jmoney | Broam, what should I be looking for? | 04:00 |
| MoralExpl | Broam, Assuming it's mounted as rw how do I remount as ro? mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda# ? | 04:00 |
| warehos | yeah broam is correct....it can be fickle as to what types of hardware it supports | 04:00 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: ok got it, but it doesn't say nfts | 04:00 |
| Broam | jmoney: dmesg | grep agp | 04:00 |

| Broam | MoralExpl: mount -r /dev/sda# -ro I think | 04:01 |
| MoralExpl | Broam, thanks | 04:01 |
| GhostWolf | ok Broam and warehos what about a program i saw lastnight called xbmc? | 04:01 |
| Broam | MoralExpl: if that's wrong: lemme check man mount | 04:01 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: did you uninstall the .14 kernel? | 04:01 |

| jmoney | sorry | 04:01 |
| Broam | jmoney: you're welcome to use pastebin. :) | 04:01 |
| meway | bastid_raZor: maybe my dumb brother did it | 04:01 |
| GhostWolf | Broam which one do you think is better? | 04:01 |
| warehos | ghost - never used it, not too sure about it | 04:01 |

| jmoney | LJR, thnaks | 04:02 |
| pdg1 | I've got xfce. now I'm looking to setup keyboard shortcuts. I found the right place to edit settings but I can't seem to find any commands. specifically looking for commands to bring down the applications menu and to bring up the logout menu | 04:02 |
| GhostWolf | warehos but you've used mythtv? | 04:02 |
| Broam | GhostWolf: however, you should be able to install one, try it...or do some web searching...find someone else on the channel who's used it... I would say from what i've read: xbmc is more of a "media center" and mythtv is more of a PVR...but remember, I've never used 'em | 04:02 |
| warehos | ghost - currently using it, yes | 04:02 |
| meway | bastid_raZor: kernal 14 came with it apparently and when he used disk recovery it updated and gave him kernal 16 | 04:03 |
| azrael_ | i install libnspr4-0d but i'm still get the same error with chrome | 04:03 |
| DarkMasterHalo | azrael_: Damn. | 04:03 |
| bastid_raZor | meway: correct. | 04:03 |
| warehos | xbmc seems like it might be easier to setup | 04:03 |
| Broam | jmoney: let me know when you have a pastebin ready | 04:03 |
| warehos | but myth is pretty simple these days | 04:03 |
| meway | bastid_raZor: so is there a way to just remove 14 from the list | 04:03 |
| jmoney | Broam, i did | 04:03 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: for example, I have a cdrom loaded, when I tye sudo mount it shows "/dev/sr1 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660" type is iso9660, a cd, so I know to cd to /media/cdrom0 | 04:04 |
| Broam | jmoney: I need the URL :) | 04:04 |

| steven_ | i am on xubuntu | 04:05 |
| GhostWolf | i just want soemthing that allows me to do what media center does and i believe media center allows you to record live tv if you have it setup | 04:05 |
| jcc1 | Krabmeat1: out of curiosity, what type is it? | 04:05 |
| Broam | jmoney: dmesg | grep -i intel next please ;) | 04:05 |
| Krabmeat1 | jcc1: awesome you have been so helpful. I got it now. It is fuseblk, why what does this mean | 04:05 |
| Broam | jmoney: 892k stolen memory... that's...a really small amount | 04:05 |

| porter1 | Guest86031, it should install right over. You can also install only the server components you need (like apache, ftp, smtp...) | 04:21 |
| Sabre-night | Broam, yes its USB and how do i check that, just run "lsusb" in the terminal? | 04:21 |
| Broam | Sabre-night: correct :) | 04:21 |
| jmoney | Hydrosis, thanks | 04:21 |

| jmoney | Hydrosis, i used this script http://www.linuxreaders.com/2009/11/04/change-ubuntu-9-10-resolution/ | 04:28 |
| Broam | Sabre-night: so if you pull the cord and plug it back in, then type dmesg again... | 04:28 |

| Broam | Sabre-night: so you don't see anything when it's plugged in and then pulled back out? | 04:32 |
| Hydrosis | I thought you wanted 1600x1050? jmoney. We can easily make it 1240x1024 by doing what I told you but replaceing the resolution with the one you want. | 04:32 |

There's usually a reset button/option built into the monitors. I think you need to adjust that, It should be buttons on your monitor to open the monitor controls. Trying moving the screen to the left that way. | 04:48 |

| jiohdi | meway, if you open menu.list in the /boot directory, you will see the options you have, if you wish to get rid of some you just remove them and save the file | 04:52 |
| Luigi | stew tell me thats not funny | 04:52 |
| Hydrosis | jmoney: I'm all out of options on my end. Sounds like it's a hardware problem. I think there's memory in a lot of newer models to save the settings, and that could be no good anymore. Ive heard of that being a symptom of bad monitor hardware. | 04:52 |
| stew | Luigi: please just stay on-topic | 04:52 |
| Hydrosis | jmoney: I could be wrong. | 04:52 |
| meway | jiohdi there is no menu.lst | 04:52 |

| bastid_raZor | !grub2 | meway jiohdi | 04:54 |
| porter1 | Sabre-night, I'm making the assumption from the logs you showed me that the drive is sdb, so the first partition would be sdb1 (the first partition on the drive). if you have any other partition configurations on the drive, you might have to change this | 04:54 |

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| bullgard | What is the reason that Karmic does not provide a Clonezilla package? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonezilla. | 05:01 |
| porter1 | sabre-night, yeah. You might want to try installing gparted so you can see what hard drives are being detected and which are not | 05:01 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah canonical has faileas | 05:01 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 05:01 |

| solar_ant | hi all | 05:04 |
| losha | bullgard: dunno, since I don't use it, but my first thought is that maybe it doesn't work well (or wasn't sufficiently tested) with ext4? | 05:04 |

| porter1 | sabre-night, NOT reinstalling, I meant reBOOTING | 05:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, Clonezilla is a LiveCD vs a regular program, unless you're refering to the server side, which i imagine you could run on Ubuntu. | 05:05 |
| Shazam | Stealthbox_: you'll have to let someone else take over, see PM | 05:05 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, no, but i can. | 05:05 |
| bastid_raZor | JohninLex: ctrl alt shift numlock key should get your number pad back. burn an iso .. brasero or k3b | 05:05 |

| losha | JohninLex: brasero seems very buggy these days. I think k3b is much better.... | 05:08 |
| burzki | meway, grub1&2 dont get along well, especially in multiboot environs. check synaptic for os-prober | 05:08 |

| porter1 | danny_, do you have any error logs? | 05:08 |
| danny_ | geforc 9500gt | 05:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | JohninLex, brasero is one of the few programs i uninstall from the default Ubuntu install - k3b (although a KDE, and requiring the huge KDE libraries) is much more feature rich then brasero (I don't know of a good gnome burning gui). And you can always use command line to burn as well ;) | 05:08 |
| JohninLex | ok I will try k3b | 05:08 |

| ZykoticK9 | JohninLex, use whatever works for you :) cli is very powerful tool to learn though... | 05:10 |
| faileas | JohninLex: well, you tend to pick it up, as you need it | 05:10 |
| burzki | meway, just checking | 05:10 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, nope | 05:10 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, game over? | 05:10 |
| faileas | pfifo: you can prolly get mencoder from medibuntu i think | 05:10 |
| porter1 | sabre-night, if it isn't, then you might want to check if it works ok in Windows. If it's really old, then it might be damaged somehow. Otherwise, the kernel devs haven't caught the drive. In that case, you might want to tell a developer | 05:11 |
| JohninLex | ZykoticK9, I am installing k3b now, faileas yea i know I but I still tend to use gui | 05:11 |
| danny_ | porter 1 it says SystemError: installArchives() failed when trying to install driver | 05:11 |
| losha | pfifo: mp3 and flv are proprietary formats. The problem is political rather than technical, and as such, harder to solve... | 05:12 |
| porter1 | danny_, which driver? | 05:12 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, yup, thanks. | 05:12 |
| danny_ | porter1 nvidia 195 | 05:12 |
| porter1 | sabre-night, out of curiosity, what's the name of the drive? | 05:12 |
| bastid_raZor | faileas: pfifo you can get it from the ubuntu repo's.. don't need medibuntu. | 05:12 |
| faileas | bastid_raZor: with mp3 support and such? | 05:12 |
| pfifo | how? | 05:13 |
| bastid_raZor | pfifo: sudo apt-get install mencoder | 05:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, add the medibuntu repo and install either w32codecs or w64codecs depending on where you're using 32 or 64 bit - this is generally all the microsoft-style video/audio codecs. | 05:13 |
| burzki | meway, so your boot menu lists karmic and xp each twice .. or ?? | 05:13 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, name name? or brand? it was a local disk C: drive from a windows 98 tower | 05:13 |
| porter1 | danny_, have you checked to see if a reinstall has loaded the module? | 05:13 |
| bastid_raZor | faileas: i did a apt-cache policy mencoder.. no idea what it lacks if it lacks at all | 05:13 |
| danny_ | porter1, no i dont know how to do that | 05:14 |
| porter1 | sabre-night, so the drive you put in the enclosure was old? | 05:14 |
| meway | burzki lists xp .16-generic and stupid 14.-generic | 05:14 |
| porter1 | danny_, have you rebooted? | 05:14 |
| danny_ | porter1, many times | 05:14 |
| pfifo | ill remember that, too bad I already compiled, and I definatly dont want to screw up my ability to make vids for psp, next time ill give it a shot tho | 05:14 |
| faileas | bastid_raZor: in general medibuntu has things they can't compile into ubuntu for legal reasons... http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/mencoder.html this mentions mp3 support, explicitly | 05:14 |
| meway | burzki I dont know the full number lol | 05:15 |
| porter1 | danny_, do you get any graphics at all? | 05:15 |
| losha | pfifo: check out http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala | 05:15 |
| BlueSherpa | is there a way to list drives that are available to be mounted in linux? | 05:15 |
| bastid_raZor | faileas: then medibuntu may be the best way to go. | 05:15 |
| pringo | porter1: how do i format the new sd card please | 05:15 |
| burzki | meway, is listing the old kernels .. | 05:15 |
| faileas | bastid_raZor: precisely why i recommended it. | 05:15 |
| === POKOYO is now known as wowoto | ||
| meway | burzki yup | 05:15 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, not nessisarily, the person i got the tower from tries to fix them up, he may have replaced with this, however its only 12-13 gigs, so it would be a bit dated. | 05:15 |
| porter1 | BlueSherpa, you can use the Drive Utility under System->Administration on the top bar | 05:15 |
| BlueSherpa | thx | 05:15 |

| meway | burzki and there uninstalled | 05:16 |
| burzki | meway, just trying then to clean up? | 05:16 |
| GhostWolf | ok i got a problem im trying to install xbmc and it tells me to add the repo by adding it through software sources, now i have the software sources up but it doesn't have third party source tab is that same as other sources under ubuntu 9.10? | 05:16 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, but i know for a fact the hard drive works. | 05:16 |
| danny_ | porter1, no desktop effects wont run WoW and laggy in youtube | 05:16 |
| meway | burzki its been done | 05:16 |
| meway | burzki same | 05:16 |
| losha | !ops | the chimpout nutcases are back again.... | 05:16 |
| ubottu | the chimpout nutcases are back again....: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! | 05:16 |
| porter1 | Sabre-night, then most likely the particular manufacturer is just old enough to not be supported | 05:16 |
| stew | losha: Pubuntu [n=Pubuntu@209.125.38.182] has quit [K-lined | 05:16 |
| burzki | meway, solved? | 05:16 |
| meway | burzki no i already tried that before | 05:17 |
| BlueSherpa | porter1: do you know of a way to recover an ext3 file system? I went to create a new partition on a disk and accidentally selected the wrong one | 05:17 |
| faileas | BlueSherpa: try testdisk | 05:17 |
| meway | burzki I just double checked and nothing to be cleaned | 05:17 |
| losha | stew: thank you... | 05:17 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, western digital - hard drive. Dynex enclosure | 05:17 |
| BlueSherpa | porter1: the drive currently reports as having no partitions | 05:17 |
| burzki | meway, so your problem is fixed? | 05:17 |
| porter1 | BlueSherpa, if it was completely written over, you are probably screwed. otherwise, you would have to go to an expert to recover anything | 05:18 |
| meway | burzki no ... | 05:18 |
| BlueSherpa | porter1: k, I'm guessing the partition just got deleted and I only need a way to recover it | 05:18 |
| meway | burzki clean did nothing | 05:18 |
| BlueSherpa | porter1: no way to do that short of an expert? | 05:18 |
| porter1 | Sabre-night, strange. usually WDs are well supported | 05:18 |
| porter1 | BlueSherpa, unfortunately, if no partition is shown, then yes. | 05:19 |
| BlueSherpa | k | 05:19 |
| BlueSherpa | thx | 05:19 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, its the enclosure, it doesn't like NOT having drivers. | 05:19 |
| Stealthbox | Shazam: once i post my ifconfig info to pastebin....do i just monitor the post until someone replies? | 05:19 |
| porter1 | BlueSherpa, did you write over it? | 05:19 |
| danny_ | porter1, absolutely no graphics at all | 05:19 |
| BlueSherpa | no | 05:19 |
| losha | BlueSherpa: I second faileas recommendation: try 'testdisk'.... | 05:19 |
| BlueSherpa | ok, thanks guys, I'll try that | 05:19 |
| meway | burzki :( ... | 05:20 |
| mksmothers | :) | 05:20 |
| mksmothers | ;0 | 05:20 |
| porter1 | Sabre-night, some of the hardware combinations simply won't work on linux, or the manufacturers specifcally limit to Windows, so ya never know | 05:21 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: er.. no, you link it here, and let whoever's helping you know of the link ;p | 05:21 |
| Sabre-night | porter1, mm yeah | 05:21 |
| kupesoft | I have a precompiled binary that seems to run fine on other distros, but segfaults on Ubuntu. Is there anyway to fix this? | 05:21 |

| danny_ | porter1, using hardware drivers in ubuntu 9.10 | 05:24 |
| iWolf | harikumar, You might not delete you're ubuntu partition, try using Google, if that does not work, ask us again | 05:24 |

| James_-_ | anyone know how to open a port from the command line in a smoothwall box so that i can access the web interface and configure the rest of the box... I have asked this on the smoothwall IRC but no one is around | 05:24 |
| dbum_ | I recently mounted a filesystem 9.10 using a Live CD, Ubuntu 9.04 and was able to access my old files on /home by changing the permissions without giving a password. Isn't that a security flaw? | 05:24 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: ok thanks | 05:24 |
| Roasted | how can I enable mp3 encoding? | 05:25 |
| faileas | dbum_: no. its a feature. its so you can recover files if **** happens | 05:25 |
| meway | burzki also when it was uninstalling the .14 grub wich it appears was still successfully complete | 05:25 |
| Stealthbox | Shazam: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f2056d5e8 | 05:25 |
| faileas | dbum_: you ALWAYS have the option of encrypted /home folders if you're worried about that | 05:25 |
| bastid_raZor | faileas: the ubuntu repo version also states mp3: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/mencoder | 05:26 |
| Stealthbox | or for that matter anyone who may be able to help please take a look at my post......http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f2056d5e8 | 05:26 |
| dbum_ | faileas: ok, thx | 05:26 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: do you use ipv6? else, that box dosen't seem to be disconnected | 05:27 |
| danny_ | porter1, do i need resreicted driver manager? and how do i get it? | 05:27 |
| harikumar | thankx buddy, but in window at add remove program there is option where uninstall ubuntu, before i got try to to uninstall and it fullu remove my ubuntu in different partion, i just worried if i formated sure i wont lost my ubuntu right? | 05:27 |
| faileas | James_-_: if it has ssh, you might want to try ssh tunneling to it, then using that | 05:27 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: "And you can always use command line to burn as well." Which command-line program do you recommend for this purpose? | 05:27 |
| * prime_heretic bangs his head against the wall... repeatedly | 05:27 | |
| Stealthbox | faileas: not sure what ipv6 is | 05:27 |
| pringo | hello i have inserted a new sd card into my eeepc but its not mounting this sd card - can i get some help please | 05:28 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: so it seems to be connected fine? | 05:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, cdrecord for general stuff - doesn't do bin/cue stuff i think, maybe... have fun. | 05:28 |
| faileas | harikumar: if you can uninstall from windows you used wubi. wubi installs ubuntu to a image, in the windows drive. so if you format it, you will lose ubuntu too, probably | 05:28 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: no | 05:28 |
| faileas | its not connected at all | 05:28 |
| porter1 | danny_, first open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-185" | 05:28 |
| venom | I've installed Windows XP in Sun's VirtualBox, the sound I play from xp is ok and there is no problem with that, but mic is not working. Can some help me out with that? | 05:28 |
| prime_heretic | I just want to make my program available to others via the Ubuntu repositories, installing is literally just a case of copy 4 files to a directory, do I *really* have tio read through 50 odd pages of confusing packaging docs to get this done? | 05:29 |
| porter1 | danny_, then, do "sudo apt-get clean" | 05:29 |
| jamiewan_ | can someone please help re this scrambled text- http://imagebin.ca/view/WaMxQdAR.html | 05:29 |
| arquebus | pringo- go to #eeepc | 05:29 |
| pringo | thanks | 05:29 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: no not at the moment, should i lg out and reconnect it? | 05:29 |
| porter1 | danny_, then reboot. And then try using the driver manager again to install the nvidia driver again. | 05:29 |
| arquebus | np | 05:29 |
| faileas | lol | 05:30 |
| Random832 | prime_heretic, what program is this? | 05:30 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: what was the problem again? >_> | 05:30 |
| prime_heretic | Just a python plugin for totem | 05:30 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: it is a new machine and i can't get ubuntu to connect to the net.... | 05:30 |
| cor_r | jamiewan_ , joke? | 05:31 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: i don't see a network connection. check physical connections, and if they are fine, try ifconfig again | 05:31 |
| jamiewan_ | cor_r: no seriuos | 05:31 |
| thoyne | i ate a big red candle | 05:31 |
| losha | bullgard: most of the gui programs end up calling wodim/cdrecord/growisofs | 05:31 |
| jamiewan_ | *serious | 05:31 |
| Real_Ubot | Why does ssh server prompt for my key password when the path to the authorized_keys hav a mark in front of it? | 05:31 |
| kerdal | can't access http://192.168.0.1/ to configure my router. need assistance | 05:32 |
| danny_ | porter1, alright restarting | 05:32 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: physical connections are fine and i have done ifconfig many times over the llast few days | 05:32 |
| bastid_raZor | kerdal: most times when my router does that i have to power cycle it. | 05:32 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: how do you know they are fine? | 05:32 |
| bullgard | losha: I have heard this already, yes. | 05:32 |
| bastid_raZor | s/most/any time | 05:32 |
| faileas | swapped cables? checked lights? | 05:32 |
| jamiewan_ | cor_r: been like it for a few weeks now, didi it once before but rectified itself after new kernel, but now back again | 05:32 |
| cor_r | jamiewan_ , look in ur preferences and then ur gnome style, there is a tab where u can switch the letters..maybe theres ur solution | 05:32 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: because i am switching the same connection between the two machines and it works fine on this one | 05:33 |
| lwieise87 | why is Brasera taking so long to burn a cd. it's been on "Preparing to write" for nearly 15 minutes! | 05:33 |
| lwieise87 | Brasero* | 05:33 |
| losha | lwieise87: avoid brasero, it's full of bugs and should be removed. Use k3b instead.... | 05:34 |
| cor_r | jamiewan_ , system-> preferences->appearence-> letters etc. | 05:34 |
| kerdal | bastid_raZor thank you I will look that up. | 05:34 |
| lwieise87 | ok. i'll give it a shot | 05:34 |
| bgfghfghfghjjj | where do all the user apps reside in 9.10 if I want to edit a file in an irc client app say like xchat or konversation or quassel say ? | 05:34 |
| Random832 | prime_heretic, maybe one of these will be more useful than documentation - http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/PackagingTutorial http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336 (ubuntu packages work the same as debian packages) | 05:34 |
| jamiewan_ | cor_r: You are a ledgend thankyou very much | 05:34 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: well, how about the NIC? sure it works? | 05:34 |
| iflema | Stealthbox: what module does is used in the kernel | 05:35 |
| bastid_raZor | kerdal: look it up? pull the power cord. wait 15 seconds.. plug it back in. | 05:35 |
| burzki | meway, you should be able to just go into /boot/grub/grub.cfg and #comment out the ones you dont want | 05:35 |
| cor_r | jamiewan_ , fixed it? ...oh, and ur welcome if so. | 05:35 |
| jamiewan_ | cor_r: been chewing on that for a week now thx heaps | 05:35 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: pardon my ignoranc but i don't know | 05:35 |
| venom | I've installed Windows XP in Sun's VirtualBox, the sound I play from xp is ok and there is no problem with that, but mic is not working. Can some help me out with that? | 05:35 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: the user configure files for apps are in there home folder | 05:36 |
| prime_heretic | Random832: great thanks, I'll have a look! PAckaging is confusing, problem is I have to so one for every Linux distro =/ | 05:36 |
| bastid_raZor | prime_heretic: it is doubtful you will get a package in the repo's.. possibly look at remastering a CD | 05:36 |
| danny | porter1, it said glx and nvidia dosent exist on normal mode | 05:36 |
| MikeChelen | is there another good exif editor besides gimp? | 05:36 |
| faileas | Stealthbox: look at the interface and see for blinking lights ;p | 05:36 |
| Random832 | if you don't want to put it in the repositories, but just put it up for download on your own site, just make one and use alien to make the other formats | 05:37 |
| bastid_raZor | !remaste r | prime_heretic | 05:37 |
| faileas | swapping it out is a good idea if you can | 05:37 |
| danny | porter1, but trying to install driver 185 now ill let u know how it goes | 05:37 |
| bastid_raZor | !remaster | prime_heretic | 05:37 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: yes i hve that | 05:37 |
| ubottu | prime_heretic: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 05:37 |
| bgfghfghfghjjj | ctmjr: home seems pretty empty, I cant see application files eh, just a few user docs and an empty public folder, Im looking for an alias in an app | 05:37 |
| blocky | why dont the up and down arrows work in firefox | 05:37 |
| iflema | Stealthbox: in terminal type 'lspci -vv |grep Ethernet' | 05:37 |
| zoug | my DNS req are suddenly down. any idea why? i dont have ipv6.its working fine in windows.it takes 15 sec to open a page. | 05:37 |
| meway | burzki it says dont ... on the topic | 05:37 |
| Stealthbox | faileas: ok....brb | 05:38 |
| prime_heretic | bastid_raZor: I don;t know new to packaging, I'll just make a PPA available or stick the .deb on my site or something if need be | 05:38 |
| bastid_raZor | prime_heretic: that would work also. | 05:39 |
| prime_heretic | bastid_raZor: Aye, done an Arch Linux package which was (relatively) straightforward, Ubuntu next | 05:39 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: you need to unhide them either in the gui or with ls -a ~/ | 05:39 |
| bgfghfghfghjjj | mm ctmjr I found them but they have locks on em, do I need to sudo thunar/edit to write to em ? or something | 05:40 |
| faileas | prime_heretic: if its for personal or limited use, checkinstall is great ;p | 05:40 |
| danny | porter1, it installed correctly im restarting to see how it works | 05:41 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: it's just the checkinstall page it shouldn;t be used for distribution "CheckInstall is not designed to produce packages suitable for distribution." | 05:41 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: are you the user or do they belong to someone else? you can only write to your files not someone else's | 05:41 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: I'm building it specifically to distribute | 05:42 |
| burzki | meway, well .. you boot menu looks normal to me, but you are wanting to clean it up, which is abnormal, so you are going to have to take abnormal steps .. | 05:42 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: I wouldnt bother with all this trouble otherwise, as I say an install is literally copying 4 files to the right directory | 05:42 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: and you can use sudo to access them | 05:43 |
| faileas | prime_heretic: ./configure ; make ; checkinstall. take the deb and shove it to your user | 05:43 |
| burzki | meway, the extra lines in youe boot menu are wriiten there, even though you feel you uninstalled the old kernels. so if you want them gone, you will have to take them out. best way is just to #comment them out | 05:43 |
| faileas | prime_heretic: i DID say for limited or personal use- i don't think it does dependancy tracking like a real deb | 05:43 |
| porter1 | danny, any better? | 05:43 |
| bastid_raZor | prime_heretic: if it is just moving some files around.. script it. use wget to get the files then script a mv to put them where they go. | 05:44 |
| meway | burzki ok | 05:44 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: Well I dunno I'm a bit lost with all this packaging stuff, I'm just a lowly programmer | 05:44 |
| dark_ | helo | 05:44 |
| danny | porter1, trying to play games it says "your 3d accelerator card is not supported by world of warcraft. please install a 3d accelerator card with dual-TMU support" and i have ran this game once with ubuntu | 05:44 |
| porter1 | danny, does 3d compositing work? | 05:45 |
| danny | porter1, and desktop effects says "composite extension is not available" | 05:45 |
| danny | porter1, i dotn know how to check that | 05:45 |
| meway | burzki it says its read only even though i sudo gedit start | 05:46 |
| porter1 | danny, hrm. You might want to check on the forums for a better solution then. Sometimes you have to completely remove all nividia packages first, and some graphics cards are worse than others... | 05:46 |
| Morwind | weird question for you folks. but does anyone know of a program for ubuntu that can temporarily map mouse buttons to function as keyboard keys? in windows i'd use glovepie to do this and it worked perfectly. | 05:47 |
| danny | porter1, do u know how to enable 3d compositing? i just want to get a game working | 05:48 |
| meway | burzki what isthe command to run everything as root? | 05:48 |
| losha | meway: you aren't supposed to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg because it's a generated file, so any changes you make will be lost the next time there's a kernel update. See http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html#mozTocId703454. It's a mess, actually... | 05:48 |
| bgfghfghfghjjj | Im using 9.04,, mm yes they are all my file ctmjr, they have .pl extensions is that perl ? Ive never played with it before | 05:48 |
| iOmlette | !su | meway | 05:48 |
| ubottu | meway: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 05:48 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: Ah I see what checkinstall does, pretty clever | 05:49 |
| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| meway | iOmlette i meant like click things and it think im root? | 05:49 |
| burzki | meway, sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 05:49 |
| iOmlette | meway: run "sudo nautilus" from a terminal. That should work. | 05:49 |
| faileas | prime_heretic: it is | 05:49 |
| meway | burzki it say wont let me edit read only? | 05:49 |
| bastid_raZor | burzki: meway use gksudo when using gedit with root permissions. | 05:49 |
| porter1 | danny, the proprietary nvidia drivers simply aren;t loading. You'll have to get them working before you can get most games to work as well as compositing, sorry. | 05:49 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: yes perl just use sudo to access the file | 05:50 |
| danny | porter1, ok ill check the forms | 05:50 |
| losha | meway: please acknowledge that you saw my message above... | 05:50 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: This oplugin's python tho, doesn;t follow the normal make process, nearest I get is compressing the python source up and copying across | 05:50 |
| burzki | bastid_raZor, ok. mine let me in to edit .. | 05:50 |
| azrael_ | yo i'm upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10 with adept is there anything i should know | 05:50 |

| Stealthbox__ | | ok | 05:51 |
| Stealthbox__ | i'm just retard | 05:52 |
| faileas | its called a pipe | 05:52 |
| prime_heretic | faileas: maybe it's possible just to do a makefile that copies stuff across, I'll look into thet and see if checkinstall can then be used | 05:52 |
| Stealthbox__ | brb | 05:52 |
| faileas | naw. some things take a while to pick up | 05:52 |
| ctmjr | bgfghfghfghjjj: you said thunar so you on xfce run sudo mousepad name of file or press alt+f2 the type gksu thunar and use the gui | 05:52 |

| KiRiLoS | Random832, because there are some files in Greek Language,and i need to access them | 06:45 |

| Random832 | um, in NTFS all filenames are in UTF-16 they are translated to an 8-bit character set by the kernel | 06:47 |
| Random832 | mount it with iocharset=utf-8 and the filenames will be in utf-8 - that's probably a better solution | 06:47 |

| deleuzer_ | danny, is 3D working for anything? | 06:59 |
| Random832 | if it doesn't fix anything, tell me what ls -b says | 06:59 |
| deleuzer_ | in wine? | 06:59 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, be right back,i'll go check it out | 06:59 |
| xxx_ | melissita call an electrinian before you fry yourself | 06:59 |
| danny | deleuzer_, no i cant even enable desktop graphics | 06:59 |
| edbian | Can someone help me real quick? My router is responding to requests on port 80 coming from the internet. I don't want people to even have the option of configuring my router. How can I change this? (linksys wrt54g) | 07:00 |
| melissita | xxx_, i'd rather just ask someone :p | 07:00 |
| deleuzer_ | danny which version of ubuntu? | 07:00 |
| danny | deleuzer_, 9.10 | 07:00 |
| brico | edbian, it's under Administration (disable remote management) | 07:01 |
| edbian | brico, Thank you! | 07:01 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, same thing | 07:01 |
| RWHR | I followed the instructions on the link the root password was changed, but it didn't appear to work. | 07:02 |
| xxx_ | theres #electronics | 07:02 |
| edbian | brico, I noticed too that regardless of what that "remote administration" bit is set to if I don't have port 80 forwarded the router responds to port 80 (on the side facing the internet). I forwarded the port to a dead address. | 07:02 |
| billiard_junkee | sorry danny, I have been looking for help with your problem, but have not turned up anything helpful :-/ | 07:03 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, ls -b shows the folder like: ????? ????? | 07:03 |
| xxx_ | theres #hardware | 07:03 |
| edbian | brico, Thanks for the advice though! :) | 07:03 |
| Random832 | KiRiLoS, that means that as far as the kernel is concerned, the filename really is question marks - are you sure you remounted with iocharset? | 07:03 |
| danny | billiard_junkee, thanks for trying | 07:03 |
| Random832 | what does the output of "mount" say for that filesystem? | 07:03 |
| xxx_ | theres #circuits | 07:03 |
| deleuzer_ | danny, same here...I tend to think you'd be better off with 9.04 | 07:04 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, Gimme a sec,maybe i messed up :P | 07:04 |
| danny | deleuzer_, how do i downgrade without formatting | 07:04 |
| kinja-sheep | !downgrade | danny | 07:05 |
| ubottu | danny: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 07:05 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, Ok i unmounted the drive,now i use mount -a correct? | 07:05 |
| Random832 | just use mount [the mount point] - no -a necessary | 07:06 |
| deleuzer_ | danny, probably not a way to downgrade, but you could re-partition and clean install 9.04 an an ext3 partition. | 07:06 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, This is what i get when using mount: /dev/sda4 on /windows/D type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 07:07 |
| Ookami | hi :( ,, a strange file is found in toooo many places in my file system | 07:07 |
| Ookami | sounds .. like a virues ? ? | 07:07 |
| Ookami | what should i do ? | 07:07 |
| bear | FUCK YOU SOFT BITCHES WE GO HARD | 07:07 |
| llutz | Ookami: file named ".."? means "one directory up", no worries | 07:08 |
| * billiard_junkee wonders if that strange file is ../ | 07:08 | |
| billiard_junkee | lol | 07:08 |
| Ookami | llutz, no no .. a file named "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" | 07:08 |
| Ookami | i find it everywhere ?? | 07:08 |

| Ookami | if i want to search for a file named "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" in my filesystem | 07:09 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, are you here ? | 07:09 |
| tyro | Bear ? | 07:09 |
| Ookami | and "remove" it .. | 07:09 |
| Ookami | what do i do ? | 07:09 |
| RWHR | All the link above has done is to get me to ask for a password when I boot using safe mode, it didn't help in resetting my password or renewing the account | 07:09 |
| deleuzer_ | Ookami, locate *.onetoc2 | 07:10 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: find <starting dir> -name "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" -exec rm {} \; | 07:10 |

| g_khatwani123 | i am installing sjsas_pe-9_0_01-nb-5_5-linux.bin and i am recieving error | 07:10 |
| llutz | Ookami: thats on windows-filesystems? | 07:10 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: do it without the exec rm at first though to make sure it only matches the right file :) | 07:10 |
| jac0 | need help, i have t-mobile wing is there an applicatication for that | 07:11 |
| deleuzer_ | i need a karmic upgrade wizard, please help me figure out why i can't boot consistently or point me in the right direction. | 07:13 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | Hi! Can anybody help a Ubtuntu-beginner with getting internetconnection? | 07:14 |
| Random832 | KiRiLoS, i don't think you needed to reboot, but anyway - what does mount say now, and what does the directory look like? | 07:14 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, Same thing keep happening,somethings gotta be wrong @ /etc/fstab | 07:14 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, yeah i know i didnt have too,i just checked that out | 07:14 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, wireless or wired? | 07:14 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, /dev/sda4 on /windows/D type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 07:14 |
| Maletor | Install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 9.10 is awful. | 07:14 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, if i want to search the whole "fileSystem" .. what do i write in "path" | 07:14 |
| deleuzer_ | Install Ruby on Rails is always awful | 07:15 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: start the search from "/" | 07:15 |
| Anonimoss | anyone know how to open a shell from the prompt in wifislax? | 07:15 |
| llutz | Ookami: / | 07:15 |
| danny | how do i install open gl to work with games in wine | 07:15 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: you might want to use -follow to follow symlinks too, and -type f to make sure you only get files | 07:15 |
| Random832 | what does the fstab line say? | 07:15 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, so it's find / -name "OneNote Table Of Contents.onetoc2" -exec rm {} \; | 07:15 |
| Ookami | follow to follow symlinks ?? | 07:16 |
| Anonimoss | hwo do you open a shell in Wifislax prompt? | 07:16 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, wow, two more zeros added to my fstab! | 07:16 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: so it's like: find / -name "One..." -type f -follow -exec rm {} \; | 07:16 |

| Random832 | that's probably harmless, but wrong - delete them | 07:16 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: you probably don't need to worry about following links | 07:16 |

| KiRiLoS | Random832, its iocharset=ut8 or iocharset=ut-8 ? | 07:17 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, its iocharset=utf8 or iocharset=utf-8 ?* | 07:17 |
| dpyro | hey all, i need some help | 07:17 |
| Random832 | try changing it to nls=utf8 instead of iocharset, an remount, and then if that doesn't work change it to utf8=yes | 07:17 |
| dpyro | about 100GB of my filesystem has gone MIA | 07:17 |
| Random832 | which one works depends on your kernel version and ntfs version | 07:18 |
| dpyro | and df, du, and the disk usage analyzer keep showing 5GB used | 07:18 |
| danny | how do i install open gl to work with games in wine | 07:18 |
| dpyro | its a 120GB partition | 07:18 |
| g_khatwani123 | i am installing sjsas_pe-9_0_01-nb-5_5-linux.bin and i am recieving error | 07:18 |
| RWHR | Is it possiblw to create a user account on a ubuntu machine when you don't have access to the one and oly account on the system? | 07:18 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: yes, you got it | 07:18 |
| Random832 | but in all cases it's utf8 not utf-8 | 07:19 |
| llutz | RWHR: not from within the system | 07:19 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, WOOOHOOO .. can i count ?? .. how many results i have in a find command line ???? | 07:20 |
| RWHR | Sounds like I'll have to reinstall ubunto to regain access as I am unable to gain it and the suggestion that I got from here didn't have the desired effect. | 07:20 |
| === root is now known as Guest82372 | ||
| mister_roboto | Ookami: yes, just add " | wc -l " to the end | 07:20 |
| llutz | RWHR: boot live-cd, chroot into your installation, fix issues | 07:20 |
| iflema | RWHR: what version of ubuntu? | 07:20 |
| g_khatwani123 | i am installing sjsas_pe-9_0_01-nb-5_5-linux.bin and i am recieving error | 07:21 |
| RWHR | 9.10 | 07:21 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: in other words, you pipe it through the word count program, telling it to count lines | 07:21 |
| dpyro | i'm told 110GB of a 120GB is used but the filesystem only shows 5GB for / | 07:21 |
| xlauwon | .... | 07:21 |
| iflema | argh i did know a trick for the old grub to gain root access..... not sure how to do know | 07:21 |
| dpyro | where the other 105GB is is a mystery | 07:21 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, none of them works!Maybe we should use iso8859-7 somewhere?I am not sure if UTF-8 can show Greek characters | 07:21 |
| RWHR | Quick off topic question, how do I get to highlight the person's name that I am directing my comment/question to in IRC? | 07:21 |
| Random832 | utf-8 can show any characters | 07:21 |
| dpyro | iflema: single user mode? | 07:22 |
| Random832 | none of them work as in none of them even show up when you type 'mount'? | 07:22 |
| KiRiLoS | RWHR, you write a few letters from his nickname then press tab | 07:22 |
| llutz | RWHR: start typing his nick, use tab-completion then | 07:22 |
| Random832 | are you sure the filenames aren't actually question marks? when you go into windows do the filenames have the greek letters? | 07:22 |
| iflema | edit boot line to 'rw init=/bin/bash' | 07:22 |
| RWHR | KiRiLoS: Thanks | 07:22 |
| billiard_junkee | RWHR, reboot in recovery mode and when it comes up, choose "root terminal" or whatever its called. Then at the prompt type "passwd" | 07:22 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, Yes,i can even see them when using Konsole,the problem beggins when using Ctrl+alt+F* | 07:23 |
| RWHR | billiard_junkee: I'll give that a go. | 07:23 |
| billiard_junkee | then type "exit" and choose resume normal boot | 07:23 |
| Random832 | wait a minute | 07:23 |
| Random832 | you didn't say you were using the text console | 07:23 |
| Real_Ubot | Will ssh server only ask for authorization key password the first time I log in, not when exiting an reconnecting to server? | 07:23 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, I did. | 07:23 |
| danny | how do i enable dual-Tmu | 07:23 |
| llutz | KiRiLoS: use utf8 console-font | 07:23 |
| Random832 | text mode fonts are a completely different problem with a different solution | 07:23 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: ssh-agent running? | 07:24 |
| Random832 | two different aspects - you have to put the console in utf8 mode, and you have to use a font with greek letters | 07:24 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, well,i guess you didnt notice that,but i said it from the first time :P | 07:24 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | OH, missed the question - SORRY! It is wired network! | 07:24 |
| Random832 | so it all works correctly in X11 mode? | 07:24 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, is your public key listed in the authorized keys? | 07:24 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, yeah | 07:24 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: I don't know? | 07:24 |
| Random832 | do you have a "consolechars" command? | 07:24 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Yes, it is. | 07:24 |
| llutz | Random832: pgrep ssh-agent | 07:25 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, well,i have no idea even what that means :P | 07:25 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: ^^ sry | 07:25 |
| Ookami | mister-roboto, BIG WOW to you man .. it worked perfectly .. 90 results .. and now all deleted ^^ .. can i ask you a bit more ? | 07:25 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: sure | 07:25 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I could log in for the first time and had to use my password for my key but after the first time I seem to be able to login without even using the password? I thought I had to use it everytime together with my key? | 07:25 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, llutz is right make sure you ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa | 07:25 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> I see the Auto eth0 - but cannot connect. | 07:25 |
| Real_Ubot | The authorization key password, I mean. | 07:25 |
| Random832 | KiRiLoS, if you type "consolechars" at the command line, does it do anything or just say not found? | 07:25 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, what's "-name" | 07:26 |
| Real_Ubot | Not the user password I had before. I have disabled the original user password login. | 07:26 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, only if the ssh-agent isn't logging your private key | 07:26 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: the argument following "-name" is the name of the object you are trying to find | 07:26 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, not found | 07:26 |
| Random832 | you said you're not on ubuntu - what linux distribution are you using? | 07:26 |
| Random832 | maybe we should go to msg or ##linux since you're not on ubuntu | 07:26 |
| RWHR | billiard_junkee: Went to "Root - Drop to shell prompt" and "passwd", it asked for a password twice, I then resumed normal boot, entered in the user name and password I just entered and get "login Incorrect" :( | 07:26 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, OpenSuse | 07:27 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, are you using a netbook? | 07:27 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, so -name = specify that i'm writing a name now .. "of a file" .. or "in between" | 07:27 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, I just thought this is not a Distro-Specific problem! | 07:27 |
| === b0w is now known as zz_b0w | ||
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Then it might be logging the key then. When do I have to use my password again? I thought I was going to do that everytime. I not only want the key, I want to use password also if my key is lost. | 07:27 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> No normal PC. The weird thibng is that I was able to connect to the internet earlier.. | 07:27 |
| Tiders | wHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF EVER GETTING AN IPOD TOUCH TO WORK WITH uBUTNU? | 07:27 |
| Random832 | well, we're at a point where you have to install fonts and a font-switching utility, which means we need to figure out what package name you need | 07:27 |
| Tiders | Sorry caps lock | 07:27 |
| Random832 | (and if it's a non-distro-specific problem why didn't ask in ##linux?) | 07:28 |
| RWHR | billiard_junkee: I can type in the username "root" and then the new password that I specified, but I gat back to a command prompt. | 07:28 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: well it might be a file or a directory or a symbolic link name... you can narrow that with the -type option if you need to | 07:28 |
| Real_Ubot | Then I want to know if I have to set UsePAM to no also? I read different info on different forums and blogs and in the Ubuntu Documentation. | 07:28 |
| danny | how do i use d3d? | 07:28 |
| dpyro | Tiders: i just got my iphone working with it | 07:28 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, I'm not sure what you're looking for, you should be able to use your password for the ssh server if the key doesn't work, but the key is there to make your life easier. | 07:28 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, I asked there too,but got no answer.Ok so tell what i need to ask so i can get the correct answers and i'll go ask em somewhere else :P | 07:28 |
| Tiders | dpyro, Explain | 07:28 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, -type f = look for only files .. right ? | 07:29 |
| RWHR | billiard_junkee: can I now reset the password for the other user from this prompt? | 07:29 |
| dpyro | can someone give me some ideas of how to find missing space that doesn't show up in the disk usage analyzer | 07:29 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: yes | 07:29 |
| Random832 | Tiders, my guess would be "zero" if that's one of the ones that apple put encryption on to only work with itunes | 07:29 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, are you sure this is a software issue? | 07:29 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, cool | 07:29 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: the man page spells all this out :) | 07:29 |
| Tiders | Random832, Seriously? | 07:29 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I want a key that need a password. I wrote a password phrase creating the key, but know I don't have to write it anymore. I ha the first time I used it. | 07:29 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, so it's "man find" ? | 07:29 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: right | 07:29 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | I am able to connect to the internet when using the same cable on my WIndowsXP PC | 07:30 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: man pages are kind of hard to read at first if you don't use them much, but it's worth getting comfortable with them | 07:30 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, have you rebooted your local machine? | 07:30 |
| Random832 | well at this point go ahead and go in ##linux - i'm in there too and i can try andd keep helping you | 07:30 |
| Random832 | i'm trying to research this now | 07:30 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, and "| WC -l" .. where can i read about it ? | 07:30 |
| xxx_ | danny what nvidia card do u have???? | 07:31 |
| KiRiLoS | Random832, Ok,i just ask the same question all over again | 07:31 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: "man wc" of course :) | 07:31 |
| Random832 | KiRiLoS, do you have a "setfont" command? | 07:31 |

| Ookami | mister_roboto, cool ^^ .. do you know a bit about "java" ? | 07:33 |
| mister_roboto | Ookami: I know a LOT of java :) | 07:33 |
| dpyro | KiRiLoS: ^^ | 07:33 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: No, just restarted the ssh server using /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 07:33 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, LUCKY ME !! loool | 07:33 |

| GhostWolf | has anyone here used xbmc? | 07:33 |
| danielck | has anyone had a similar locale problem? | 07:33 |
| Ookami | mister_roboto, ^^ thank you so much | 07:34 |
| comawhite_ | GhostWolf: I have | 07:34 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I have always been using my user password, but now I got into the server using only the ssh username@host command. No passowrd, nothing! | 07:34 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, likely if you reboot your local machine you will have to give the password on each ssh call | 07:34 |
| comawhite_ | GhostWolf: I only use it when Amarok2-svn is borked | 07:34 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, that's how it's supposed to work with rsa keys. | 07:34 |
| pbico | #ubuntu-ir | 07:35 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: The first time I tried to login after making changes to sshd_config and allowing key login I had to write my password for the authorization key, but this time, nothing! | 07:35 |
| xxx_ | danny if you want d3d to work I need to know the graphics card your using??? | 07:35 |
| GhostWolf | comawhite_, well i installed it so i can have a media center so i can connect to my xbox360 and record live tv | 07:35 |
| pbico | #ubuntu-ir | 07:35 |
| KiRiLoS | dpyro, use /join #linux | 07:35 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Yes, I know keys work that way. BUT I have got a password for my key! | 07:35 |
| KiRiLoS | dpyro, That should bump you to ##linux | 07:35 |
| comawhite_ | GhostWolf: I don't know about those two. I don't have either option | 07:35 |
| Real_Ubot | Not only a key, a key that need a password. | 07:35 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, but if your ssh-agent is holding your private key in memory, you will not need to provide the key. | 07:36 |
| GhostWolf | well i don't even know how to get to anything while logged in xbmc :S i can't even find any of my apps | 07:36 |
| danny | xxx_, nvidia geforce 9500gt | 07:36 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: That's not good at all. If I loose my laptop then anyone can log into my server as long as I haven't rebooted it! | 07:36 |
| RWHR | OK, I worked it out, I "passwd username" and was then able to change that password, which prompts a security question. I should create a "passwd" for "root" on each machine so that no one else can just "Boot in safe mode" and gain access to my accounts? | 07:36 |
| xxx_ | danny hold on go to search google | 07:36 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, check in /etc/X11/Xsession.options for use-ssh-agent | 07:37 |
| === segin|kvirc is now known as segin | ||
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, comment out that line '# use-ssh-agent | 07:38 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, restart X that should solve the problem. | 07:38 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Ok, I have to solve this in any way. The whole meaning using password together with my key was to actually prompt for th key, not allowing me to login only using the authorization key. :( | 07:38 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> I'm gonna take a picture, one moment :-) | 07:38 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Ok, thanks, I'll try it out. | 07:39 |
| adi_ | which one? | 07:39 |
| GhostWolf | as anyone else used xbmc? | 07:40 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, do you know about http://www. pastebin.com ? | 07:40 |
| adi_ | what is xbmc? | 07:40 |
| RWHR | I guess no one here knows that one. In any case, my immediate issue has been resolved, thanks to all who gave their input! bye for now. | 07:41 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, do you know about http://www. pastebin.org ? | 07:41 |
| GhostWolf | xbmc is a software/program its short for xbox media center | 07:42 |

| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, oh sorry didn't pay attention well for one how do i actually access all my applications i have on my comp? cause i only see main folders like desktop and download those kind of folders | 07:44 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, oh right you can't connect! Sorry forgot. | 07:44 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: I don't think it was designed so you can access all applications within XBMC. After all, it itself is an application. You're to play media certain files and scripts. | 07:45 |

| armence | llutz, thanks | 07:46 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, oh i only wanted to use it as like a media center for windows but for linux/ubuntu so i can connect to my xbox360 and other things the media center does | 07:46 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, did you change anything on your system? | 07:46 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | I'm using another PC (WinXP - the one I'm trying to get rid of! :-) ) to get in here anyway :-) | 07:46 |
| GhostWolf | well if you can get on here you can get pastebin cause if you have no net you won't be able to get through here | 07:47 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: I think you want ushare or in that case, any converter such as vlc or ogmrip, not sure about handbrake. (to convert the file to Xbox360 supported codecs). | 07:48 |
| Xfact | Worried about security threats (hacking) on Ubuntu, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/350698/ please ::-X | 07:48 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> I have tryed a few things things to see if there was any luck - but no, not when I lost the connection - nothing was changed.. | 07:48 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: I read that VLC can do it transcode-on-the-fly but I'm not able to get it working myself. | 07:49 |
| bhaka | Is there a place for Post and Pre action files? I want to run a command after every time i Eject a CD with the eject command | 07:49 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, its not a codec or converter for windows if you have a media center you can go on to your xbox360 through your computer and listen to music watch videos stuff like that and even record live tv | 07:49 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> I have just tried a reboot again and this time I don't even have the Auto eth0 so the ifconfig now only shows 127.0.0.1 | 07:49 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, grrr | 07:50 |
| GhostWolf | couple people earlier told me mythtv is one and i asked about xbmc and i thought it was just a program not like an actual os type thing | 07:50 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | Really strange.. :-| | 07:50 |
| danny | xxx_, yes but my games worked under 185 before it crapped out | 07:51 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, you don't have a gui for your laptop? | 07:51 |
| vivek | g | 07:51 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, what happens if you do sudo ifup eth0 | 07:52 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: MythTV can record TV shows. XBMC is open-source Media Center. If you have movies or music on your laptop/computer, you could watch it on XBMC. I have a small Zotac N330 ION machine dedicated to XBMC so I can watch movies on 40" TV. | 07:52 |

| xxx_ | danny did you upgrade your system??? | 07:53 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" is what I get.. | 07:53 |

| xxx_ | danny had same problem different video card when upgrading worked for a while then stopped | 07:54 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, man I sure wish we could figure this out, I'm having the same problem on my laptop with karmic (among other problems I'm having). | 07:54 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: Depending on what you're trying to accomplish. If you only want your Xbox360 to access the video + music on your computer/laptop without using Windows, then you'd want ushare. Not everything will be read (because of unsupported codecs). | 07:54 |
| danny | xxx_, how did u fix it? | 07:55 |
| xxx_ | danny thats why I usually wait about 3 months till they get a patch | 07:55 |
| Maletor | Where do gems install on Ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: That's where it come in. To re-encode and transcode it to the different format so Xbox will read it. Silly DRM stuffs. :() | 07:55 |
| songer | hello | 07:55 |
| GhostWolf | kinja do you know what media center for windows is? you know what they put in windows vista and windows7? | 07:55 |
| opticon | guess i do what i did 10 year ago dump it and check back another 10 years | 07:55 |

| songer | whats the pages that i can download programas for ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> Should I just downgrade to 9.04 and seee if that was better? :) | 07:56 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: I never experienced Windows Vista or Windows 7 but yes, I'm aware about that. It is media center. If you have MCE Extender on your TV, then you'd be able to stream stuffs. | 07:56 |
| Flannel | songer: You don't need to browse the web, you can browse the repositories on your computer: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 07:57 |
| songer | yes iknow | 07:57 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, I'm probably not the best person to ask about that, but if you want functionality, then yes. | 07:57 |
| danny | xxx_, what should i do to fix this | 07:57 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, well thats what i want to do but do it using ubuntu cause i believe i have a turner on my video card not sure and just want to do what media center does but only for linux/ubuntu | 07:57 |
| songer | but i need the new vercion | 07:57 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> Could I ask you a basic question: Should ipv6 be set to "ignored" or..? | 07:58 |
| songer | there is a page where i can download programas\ | 07:58 |
| xxx_ | danny there is no easy solution only a downgrade would have 3d effects back ,but it is not supported | 07:58 |

| ubottu | songer: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 07:58 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: I suppose you want MythTV (to record stuffs!), I read somewhere about XBMC with some of MythTV hacks so you could watch it on XBMC. Not sure. I'd have to read more on that. | 07:58 |
| xxx_ | danny thats why I dont follow the bandwagon of users... | 07:59 |

| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: Xbox360 is a media center too. If you haven't realized that yet. | 08:02 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: In that case, you'd want to set up the machines with photos + music + stuffs to allow access, (ie ushare or samba). | 08:03 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, yes but i can't connect to my xp without having the media center for windows | 08:03 |

| DrManhattan | wolfric, um, what help do you need? | 08:05 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: What shall I look for in the /home/.bash? | 08:05 |
| Dessan | GhostWolf, you might get some help asking in #xbmc-linux | 08:05 |
| wolfric | i downloaded the linux version and did sudo ./file and it says command not found | 08:05 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, the issue is with your local machine not with your server | 08:05 |
| draco_ | true, but as far as I know you can't (officially) access the internet with an Xbox without Live | 08:05 |
| GhostWolf | Dessan, well if xbmc is only to play media files i probably won't use it | 08:05 |
| wolfric | drmanhattan: http://reflextor.com/trac/a51 | 08:06 |
| lstarnes | wolfric: try sudo bash ./file | 08:06 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, unless you want to disable ssh keys | 08:06 |
| GhostWolf | draco_, i have xbox live | 08:06 |
| DrManhattan | wolfric, you probably need to chmod it | 08:06 |
| wolfric | lstarnes:cannot execute binary file... hmm | 08:06 |
| kadakas | How can I make ubuntu run a command after the cd is ejected? I want to disable my laptops Eject Button, but the eject -i option loses its value after mounting/ejecting a CD | 08:06 |
| wolfric | ah ok | 08:06 |
| GhostWolf | but you can access the net when you don't have xbox live if you mean the gold membership | 08:06 |
| lstarnes | wolfric: what about sudo sh -c ./file? | 08:06 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Ok, nice to know. | 08:06 |
| draco_ | GhostWolf, great, but that's not the point, why should one have to pay to connect something they've already bought to an internet connection they are already paying for? | 08:07 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: No, I want to disable the use of original password login and only allow keys together with the key password prompt. | 08:07 |
| wolfric | lstarnes: error while loading shared libraries libcudart.so.2 cannot open shared object... any chance someone could just give it a shot themselves and see if it works to begin with? | 08:08 |
| GhostWolf | draco_ i just stated you also don't need to be a gold member to access the internet not much to actually access you can sign in if you have the silver membership i did | 08:08 |
| lstarnes | wolfric: you need that library | 08:08 |
| lstarnes | wolfric: search the package managers for libcudart | 08:08 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I want to always have to use the password for my key, so that if the key is stolen or the laptop is stolen no one shall be able to login without the password. | 08:08 |

| GhostWolf | comawhite_, hey i know i asked you before did you tell me you've used MythTv? | 08:09 |
| wolfric | i don't normally use linux but the windows version was looking for a missing lib as well so i decided to give it a shot on ubuntu | 08:09 |
| comawhite_ | nope don't own a tv card | 08:09 |
| Random832 | After resuming from hibernate my text mode console is corrupted - anyone know how to fix this? | 08:09 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, so on your laptop look for the /etc/X11/Xsession | 08:09 |
| GhostWolf | comawhite_, but you recomended me to use that right? and i asked about xbmc as well? | 08:10 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Yes, and then? | 08:10 |
| draco_ | GhostWolf, ok so it's not as expensive, the point is still valid..... login? I meant the actual internet itself, not Live services. can you use your internet connection to browse the web without Live? | 08:10 |
| comawhite_ | I know a lot use mythtv | 08:10 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, comment out the line use-ssh-agent | 08:10 |
| GhostWolf | draco_, you can't browse internet through xbox360 period its not like a wii or ps3 theres no browser on it | 08:11 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Yes, but does it only handle the storage of the key? | 08:11 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, oh the full path is /etc/X11/Xsession.options | 08:11 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: So that I don't do anything other stupid. | 08:11 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, the key has a password associated with it (this is stored according to your private key). | 08:11 |
| draco_ | GhostWolf, oh nevermind then... that serious limits it's ability as a media center though... | 08:11 |
| GhostWolf | draco_, only thing if you have xbox live gold you can go on things like twitter, facebook watch movies on your watch instantly if you have netflix | 08:12 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, i.e. on your local machine. | 08:12 |
| GhostWolf | draco_, i don't think its a media center period you can connect your computer through the xbox but you need a windows media center on your windows computer | 08:12 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, when you try to connect to the server, your local machine will ask you for the password associated with your private key, not the password of the server. | 08:12 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Actually when I tried to login at my server using ssh and my key I got into som bash-4$ prompt or something. I didn't use a username, only the host, what happend do you think? | 08:13 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | Thanks for trying to help. Will just stick to WinXP although not happy about it. :-/ | 08:13 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, that was likely the your rsa key password | 08:13 |
| Dessan | wolfric, thats a part of NVIDIA CUDA http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home.html You need to download an install it | 08:13 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Yes, I understand that it asks for the key password, and that is a question I get locally. | 08:13 |
| deleuzer_ | Ubuntubruger7, this is a very rare problem. | 08:13 |
| draco_ | Ghostwolf, That's handy, without a browser I assume it uses it's own front end for those sites? Ok, kinja-sheep said it was... so that's were I got that idea. Too bad it requires Windows Media Center :( | 08:14 |
| Ubuntubruger7 | deleuzer> Do you know if this has to do with my network setup or hardware or? | 08:15 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, so the prompt you got was a bash prompt after you linked to the server? | 08:15 |
| Real_Ubot | Di I have to in some way remove the password from the ssh-agent so that someone that steal my laptop won't just allow the use-ssh-agent again and get inteo the server without my password prompt? | 08:15 |
| Real_Ubot | *Do | 08:15 |
| GhostWolf | draco_, well i dunno i don't have windows media center and i can't connect it without having it i can play music and stuff but i mainly want the media center for other things like record live tv and stuff like that and with facebook n twitter i dunno i never tried it even tho i do have facebook and am on gold membership | 08:16 |
| ian_ | How do you reinstall grub from the command line? | 08:16 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I think I soemhow got into my server one time using ssh host, instead of ssh usernmae@host | 08:16 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, no, the ssh-agen shouldn't load once you reboot. | 08:16 |

| mafia | Jest ktoś z Polski? | 08:17 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: The use-ssh-agent, I mean? | 08:17 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, no ssh-agent will not store the password across sessions. | 08:17 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: Ok. | 08:17 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: your laptop-username is the same as server-username? then "ssh host" does the same as "ssh user@host" | 08:17 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: You don't need Windows Media Center. You can use ushare, set up paths and your Xbox360 can access them. | 08:17 |
| deleuzer_ | llutz, good point. | 08:17 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Yes, it's. | 08:18 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: you only need to specify user if its different from your actual login-name | 08:18 |

| Ricket | During the ubuntu server setup process, I hit enter on the screen to select preinstalled components and it went to next page instead of selecting a component. Is there a way to bring that screen up again, now that the server is installed, or do I need to go through setup again? | 08:25 |
| Xfact | anyone please suggest me, which latest version of firefox is best to use in ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Xfact: For you; | 08:25 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: "why not?" no is default and shouldn't have any unwanted sideeffects | 08:25 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: Gotcha. I have no need for Xbox Media Center since I use XBMC myself instead of Xbox360. | 08:25 |
| mike_yung | Flannel: Oh I see. | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Xfact: For 8.04, the best version is 3.0.16, why is that too old? | 08:25 |
| xxx_ | firefox 3.5 is fine in 9.10 | 08:26 |
| Xfact | flannel: ask anyone it's too slow and doesn't upport all useful addons | 08:26 |
| Xfact | *support | 08:26 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: No, yes is default in Ubuntu Server. | 08:26 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: you don't want to use PAM, so why set it to "yes"? | 08:26 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, well there is no xbox media center on the xbox360 i never seen it, xbox360 uses the windows media center to connect to a windows media center pc | 08:27 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: It is yes default at my Ubuntu Server installation. | 08:27 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: *buntu-defaults.... they have some strange things. | 08:27 |
| Xfact | i am currently using 3.5.6.... | 08:27 |
| mike_yung | Flannel: So I can change level three to all networks no graphics & nothing will break? | 08:27 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Ok, well, Iäll use no then. | 08:27 |
| Real_Ubot | *I'll | 08:27 |
| Flannel | mike_yung: Not that I'm aware of, no. | 08:27 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: Xbox360 is capable of doing Media Center stuffs. | 08:27 |
| xxx_ | xfact what add on is giving u problems??? | 08:27 |
| mike_yung | Flannel: Thanks. | 08:28 |
| Random832 | does anyone know how to force it to switch to a text console before hibernating? i get problems resuming if i'm in X when hibernating | 08:29 |
| songer | why The audio stops ringing on my browser? | 08:29 |
| llutz | Random832: add "chvt X" to the hibernation-script | 08:29 |
| Ricket | In tty1, shift+pgup/pgdn scrolls up and down; how do I scroll to the left and right? | 08:29 |
| Flannel | Random832: 'chvt' can switch you to a tty | 08:29 |
| xxx_ | Xfact are you complaining about the speed it takes firefox to load??? | 08:29 |
| Random832 | llutz, where can i find this hibernation script | 08:30 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, yes but nothing major only thing it does is able to view media files from the computer thats connected using windows media player 11 simple stuff like music videos and pictures it can't do nothing else beyong like anything besdies the social sites as well | 08:30 |
| Random832 | i can't find any information on how hibernation can be configured in ubuntu | 08:30 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: That being said, it is same as XBMC or elisa or Boxee. Since Xbox360 is a Microsoft product, you're likely to need Microsoft product to make it work. | 08:30 |
| llutz | Random832: it was /usr/lib/pm-utils in jaunty | 08:31 |
| GhostWolf | kinja guess so.. which is a shame then i guess i can't do nothing at this point | 08:31 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: ushare is capable of setting up so you can access music/videos/pictures from your Xbox360. Also, I'm not sure but if you get Windows7, you might not be able to play any files (just those with Microsoft patent codecs DRM thing). | 08:31 |
| Random832 | llutz, how do i make it remember to change it back? | 08:31 |
| Random832 | (i could just always have it resume to 7, but i might not always want it on that if i manage to get the text console actually working consistently) | 08:32 |
| xxx_ | kinja sheep we know this already about running media centers as well as you can connect your pc or laptop via a vga cable and run desktop | 08:32 |
| Random832 | ok, i see a sleep.d and a power.d but no hibernate.d | 08:32 |
| kinja-sheep | GhostWolf: Yeah. Shame. Many long-life batteries patents are owned by oil companies too. :( | 08:32 |
| Lostinspace_46 | I was just preparing to D/L moonlight at launchpad, when I noticed this "Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in". That sounds to me like it should work in Karmic.? | 08:32 |
| GhostWolf | kinja-sheep, windows7 has the media center on it just like vista and the drm thing i don't think is a problem | 08:32 |
| Random832 | where is the actual thing called a "hibernate script" that i can add chvt to? | 08:32 |
| Random832 | llutz, you just gave me a directory but that doesn't tell me what file to change | 08:34 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I had to restar X to get the disable of use-ssh-agent to work? | 08:34 |
| Real_Ubot | *restart | 08:34 |
| llutz | Random832: hm, i might have recalled the wrong thing.all those things change weekly :( | 08:34 |
| Random832 | none of them look related to hibernating | 08:34 |
| xxx_ | GhostWolf the only media center I've heard been used more then one time is Xbmc that was on newegg.com | 08:35 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: I tried to restart ssh locally at my laptop but it didn't seem to give me the password prompt the next time I tried to login. | 08:35 |
| xxx_ | video capture cards and media centers seem to be a hit or miss.... | 08:35 |
| llutz | Random832: check pm-functions | 08:36 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, did you restart x-server? | 08:36 |
| jmoney | how well does ubuntu runs under mac ppc ? | 08:36 |
| GhostWolf | xxx_, ok i don't think you understand the situation exactly but my situation is what xbox360 can do when connected to a computer that has media center on it which is called a windows media pc i can stream media files but aslo record live tv with a turner | 08:36 |
| jmoney | on a g5 | 08:37 |
| Satisfied | anybody else have a hell of a time with FF 3.5 in ubuntu (_x64) .... half the time I'm browsing the fucking thing just freezes up ... i don't even know where to start. I cleared my fucking cache, history, cookies, blah blah blah.... stupid thing just freezes for 1 or 2 seconds and then its good again for 20 seconds and then it freezes | 08:37 |
| Satisfied | very fucking frustrating | 08:37 |
| folkks | anybody used backtrack before | 08:37 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: No? Shall I use: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart? | 08:37 |
| folkks | backtrack4 i hear its based of ubuntu | 08:37 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: At the laptop, I mean? | 08:38 |
| folkks | basically what i want to do is know the command to connect to a open wifi | 08:38 |
| deleuzer_ | Real_Ubot, yes on the laptop. | 08:38 |
| folkks | my wifi adapter is detected and i also see wifis in my location just want to know the command to connect to them | 08:38 |
| xxx_ | GhostWolf whats your point I already stated that its a hit or miss with both recording TV and using a media center for most users... read reviews on newegg.com under video capture cards.... | 08:39 |
| GhostWolf | nevermind xxx_... | 08:39 |
| Fezzler | big trouble. Power knocked out in middle of installing ubuntustudio_audio package. trying to resume and keep getting error about "python-twisted package | 08:39 |
| llutz | folkks: man iwconfig, notice backtrack isn't supported here | 08:39 |
| Lostinspace_46 | I was just preparing to D/L moonlight at launchpad, when I noticed this "Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in". That sounds to me like it should work in Karmic.? | 08:39 |
| Fezzler | Don't know what to do | 08:39 |
| folkks | yea i know | 08:40 |
| folkks | but there is no other place to ask | 08:40 |
| folkks | and since its based of ubuntu | 08:40 |
| llutz | folkks: notice: backtrack isn't supported here | 08:40 |
| folkks | but i guess | 08:40 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: Do what it says to do at the end of the error, it'll give you a command (I can't recall the specifics at this point) | 08:40 |
| folkks | thats just illogical thinking huh | 08:40 |
| folkks | anyways ill try iwconfig | 08:40 |
| Weee | Hi, if I have 3 partitions and windows 7 is on the first one, theire all NTFS, and I install Ubuntu on the second one, it will turn into Ext4 and auto-format, will anything happen to my third partition data ? because I understand dual boot works fine so at least the first partition should remain intact | 08:40 |
| folkks | no | 08:41 |
| folkks | shouldnt touch any other partitions | 08:41 |
| docchaser | woot for being able to install ubuntu in windows :) | 08:41 |
| xxx_ | GhostWolf I understand what your trying to do seen many youtube videos were people have it set up this way .. But there is no product right now that works right out the box this way... | 08:41 |
| folkks | vmware? | 08:41 |
| Weee | thanks | 08:42 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> No command - just list of 7 python-twisted-XXXX errors all the same "--controll retunred error exit status 2" | 08:42 |
| ian_ | how do i check to see if grub is installed correctly? | 08:42 |
| lightbricko | I can't get pytrainer to import data from my garmin forerunner GPS device. On the garmin itself, it sais "transfer complete", but in the pytrainer software, the "Loading Data" window doesn't close. In the log file, I get the error "2010-01-03 09:40:42,228|ERROR|main|runPlugin|File not valid". How can I fix this? | 08:42 |
| folkks | who needs garmin | 08:42 |
| folkks | just look at a northeast moon | 08:42 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: Ah, can you pastebin the error then? | 08:42 |
| folkks | like the indians did | 08:42 |
| GhostWolf | xxx_, im not talking bout anything out of the box i was mainly trying to see if there was a program/software for ubuntu that can do the same thing as media center on windows and it seems there isn't and only for me to do this is to get an os with media center like windows7 | 08:43 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx If I follow your question, I think the answer might be moonlight | 08:43 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx silverlight for ubuntu | 08:43 |
| xxx_ | lostinspace_46 not my question don't run ubuntu run linux mint and debian | 08:44 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_ should be the same I would think | 08:45 |
| ian_ | i tried running the command sudo update-grub from the command line while booted into the live cd, but it said "could not find a device" or something. | 08:45 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/350713/ | 08:46 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: It didn't helt to set a mrk in front of the use-ssh-agent using: sudo nano /etc/X11/Xsessions.options. I still could log in without being asked to enter the password the second time I tried. | 08:46 |
| xxx_ | lostinspace_46 yes thinking is the same just usually a lot of money spent to get a media center up and running with all the bells and whistles | 08:46 |
| Real_Ubot | deleuzer_: And I have restarted X at my laptop since I did the change. | 08:47 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Also launchpad says "Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in" which makes me wonder if it will run under linux. | 08:47 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Well moonlight is free..it would give you a starting point. | 08:47 |
| jmoney | Can I install ubuntu on a 4gb usb drive ? | 08:48 |
| kinja-sheep | jmoney: Yes. | 08:48 |

| Real_Ubot | Will AllowUsers allow user by name to automatically login or will they still have to enter password or use key together with the password of the key? | 08:48 |
| jmoney | kinja-sheep: thanks | 08:48 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> any ideas? | 08:48 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: they still have to give passwrd/key | 08:48 |
| jmoney | Im trying to install the ppc version to a usb drive | 08:48 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Ok, thanks. | 08:48 |
| xxx_ | lostinspace_46 the only media center I have seen face to face working was a hp product that came with all the bells ad whistles already built in costed about 2000 + | 08:49 |

| Fezzler | Flannel>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/350716/ | 08:50 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> I understand, but with all the media stuff in the repositories, and something like moonlight you should be able to do most anything you want. Provided your hardware can handle it. | 08:51 |

| brando753 | what are the ways to securely recover and permently delete files in an ext4 filesystem | 08:52 |
| kinja-sheep | !undelete | brando753 | 08:53 |
| ubottu | brando753: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 08:53 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Before the power outage a interruption of re-install of ubuntu studio audio package, I uninstalled Ardour in a attempt to install the lastest release that is not packaged for ubuntu yet. | 08:53 |
| kinja-sheep | brando753: You could use "shred" to securely delete files. | 08:53 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> I couldn't get that to work without a deb so I deleted it - with sudo apt-get purge ardourpro, then I tried reinstall of packaged Ardour and power went out in middle | 08:54 |
| brando753 | what about preventing the recovery of already deleted files | 08:54 |
| Cube`` | hey guys, im running finch over ssh in a screen session. i'd like my local pc to make a beep whenever i get a new message, but i believe due to my netbook not being able to produce a hardware beep at all, i dont hear any sound. how could i fix this? by, e.g. making ubuntu use the speakers for the beep? | 08:55 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 I dont disagree with the ideas you present it is a good place to start... But I don't know the knowlegde of the user trying to set it up... | 08:55 |
| AK_Dave | Anyone had any trouble installing Karmic UNR in a virtual guest? It gets about 56% through, errors out claiming a "bad CD", and then dumps me to a liveCD session. Multiple ISO downloads, MD5 checks on all of them, but they all fail to install in Vbox. | 08:55 |
| lorenzosu | Does anyone know of a photo manager for ubuntu which will enable to copy the current image to a selected location via keyboard shortcut? | 08:56 |
| nigo | hello everyone,this is the first time i use IRC | 08:56 |
| Cube`` | lorenzosu: yes, that would be gwenview | 08:56 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: you don't need a cd to install on Virtualbox you can link the iso file to simulate the cd drive | 08:57 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 also don't understand limiting yourself to ubuntu alone there are 100's of linux distros | 08:57 |
| lorenzosu | Cube``, Thanks. | 08:57 |

| nigo | thank you! | 08:57 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: ok then. I have installed Karmic but not sure abut the UNR part | 08:58 |
| gigglefight | hello. anyone, fill me in, wubi 64bit? where to download. | 08:58 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Ahh, I see your point. One would need to be somewhat versed in linux distros. | 08:58 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, Karmic's installer doesn't know I'm installing from an ISO image, but it hits an error and says "must be a bad CD". Same spot (56%) every time. | 08:58 |
| === wowoto is now known as illigal | ||
| Flannel | Fezzler: Try cleaning your package cache (apt-get clean) then installing it again | 08:59 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Personally, I need more experience before I start trying other distros. | 08:59 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, I ended up building my Vbox linux guests using Mint 8 because I couldn't get Karmic UNR to install in a vbox guest. | 08:59 |
| gigglefight | looking to install karmic 64bit via windows install. | 08:59 |
| lorenzosu | Cube``, Do you know if there's a way to copy the image in gwenview directly, i.e. without the directory selection dialogue? | 08:59 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: what is UNR mean is that a version? | 08:59 |
| gigglefight | I'm still getting an error message before the install finalizes. | 08:59 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 not really most linux distro's have graphical user set-ups knowadays | 09:00 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Okay, now telling me to go to the broken filter | 09:00 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: What? | 09:00 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: my install of Karmic is the 32bit desktop version | 09:00 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, UNR :== Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Its an official Canonical mix of Ubuntu designed for netbooks and small screens. I actually prefer the interface for linux vbox guests because of its nice program lauincher. | 09:00 |
| Poobuntu | hi | 09:00 |
| === illigal is now known as illegal | ||
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 you can also watch youtube videos on installing the linux distro you want | 09:01 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: Oh, you're doing this in some sort of GUI? Try doing it on the command line, you'll get a more informative error message | 09:01 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: oh ok , I never tried that | 09:01 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> "You have 1 broken package on your system! Use the "Broken" filter to locate it." | 09:01 |
| Poobuntu | Pooooobbooooontu! | 09:01 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, I'm going to try building Karmic UNR as a guest using a different host. Maybe there is something quirky to the Win7 edition of vbox 3.1.2 running on a 64bit Win7 host. Shouldn't be. But maybe. | 09:02 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Not afraid of command line but don't know what command to run? | 09:02 |
| Poobuntu | hi | 09:02 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: is that like easy-peasy that what I run on my eeepc, I never tried that on virtualbox but I could try. | 09:02 |
| MorphyNOR | Poobuntu: you seem to be very mature and intelligent, now leave | 09:02 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Recommendation? | 09:02 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: sudo apt-get install [package] | 09:02 |

| === illegal is now known as wowoto | ||
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, Thats a good idea! I'll try easypeasy! | 09:02 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 interested in trying Arch Linux because it combines package use from other platforms to maximise to packages used but there still have trouble with pacman package installer | 09:02 |
| Flannel | Poobuntu: Please stop. This channel is for Ubuntu support, offtopic comments and unnecessary lines don't belong here. Thanks | 09:03 |
| Jkessler | now we know what bill gates does when he can't sleep | 09:03 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> True, but I switched to ubuntu to learn more command line usage, scripts, etc. Once I feel I have a decent understanding, then I will try other systems. | 09:03 |
| MorphyNOR | lol Jkessler | 09:03 |
| Jkessler | :P | 09:03 |
| Cube`` | how can i make ubuntu generate the system beeps over normal pc speakers? | 09:04 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Jkessler> Very good. heheh | 09:04 |
| Jkessler | but i do have a question.. i have 2 clearweather screenlets showing up everytime at boot.. how do i stop the 2nd one from starting automatically? | 09:05 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 command line is over rated yes for you apt-get and others for troubleshoot system | 09:05 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, We have one PC at home that runs Win7, primarily because native Win is a more reliable platform for Win games. But I insist on linux for security when dealing with secure web transactions. Using a netbook linux in a virtual guest makes this mandate easy for my wife to comply with. :D | 09:05 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/350719/ So do I run "apt-get -f install" | 09:05 |

| Flannel | Fezzler: right | 09:06 |
| LumpyDumpkin`bed | omg #askreddit coolest place for nerds evarrr | 09:06 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Well command line fixing is a good way to learn how the computer actually works. | 09:06 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Ah - correcting the python issue, magic! | 09:06 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: I work in reverse I run windows XP in virtualbox but for games that probly not the way to go | 09:07 |
| Cube`` | anybody got an idea on that beep issue? | 09:07 |
| === bibekpaudel_ is now known as bibekp | ||
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Done. Do I run the install for the package again? | 09:07 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Cube``> Does your music or whatever play through the speakers? | 09:08 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: just need Windows to test some drivers for devices to make sure the device works in windows if I have problems with them in linux Ubuntu | 09:08 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Cube``> If so, sys beeps should also. | 09:08 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 I agree with you there ,but most of that can be learned on the fly.... I personally run a live cd and troubleshoot my system that way... still get to use internet and fix system | 09:08 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: hmm, I'm not sure if you'll need to in this case, since the metapackage was the broken one, but asking it to install the package again certainly won't do any harm (if it's already installed and updated, it'll do exactly nothing), and if it doesn't give you any errors, you'll know that you've fixed the problem as well. So yeah | 09:09 |
| Cube`` | Lostinspace_46: well, are there any settings for the system beep? | 09:09 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, You do what I do for myself. Ubuntu host, XP guest. XP is for Office 2007. TinyXP+Office07 is a very small virtual guest. For my wife, its Win7 host w/ linux guest. And she runs Office07 in an XP guest instead of native on Win7 for an extra layer of sandboxing to make me feel better. | 09:10 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Cube``> You can enable or disable them, but I don't remember exactly how. | 09:10 |
| lorenzosu | Is there a photo manager which will enable to quickly copy/select photos to a default location with a keyboard shortcut? gwenview has been pointed out, but it askes for the destination directory each time. | 09:10 |
| xxx_ | Cube'' what did you do play with the sound settings | 09:11 |
| Cube`` | aaah | 09:11 |
| sacarlso1 | Ak_Dave: Office 2007 like for spread sheets and word? can't you use openoffice? | 09:12 |

| faileas | I want to start two scripts as root before a system starts. Should i be using crontab, or is there a smarter way to do it? | 09:14 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: Er, installing the package should do it (if it normally does). and... looking at the package it looks like it ought to. | 09:14 |

| Xfact | Lostinspace_46: actualy I am using 8.04 hardy, so I have to install it additionally.... | 09:15 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, Usually, yes. But OOo doesn't handle some Excel macros properly, and occasionally there are odd formatting errors in Word that creep into peculiarly formatted documents. Using Office07 in a vbox guest allows me to package a consistent set of fonts in a single guest that can be mirrored onto multiple hosts so every host is using the same Office07 suite. | 09:15 |
| sacarlso1 | faileas: good point. but I never used powerpoint but I'm sure some must. it was popular in our office for presentations. | 09:15 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: I'm not sure what's up, but /usr/share/applicatins/ardour.desktop should exist (with content in it!) | 09:15 |
| llutz | faileas: rc.local | 09:15 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Nope. It runs though | 09:15 |

| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: ok I never had that problem. but when I want to print on windows I normaly export to pdf format | 09:16 |
| llutz | faileas: its a file, not a directory | 09:16 |
| Xfact | theadmin: nowhere in there...if you don't use hardy...then please don't guess it... | 09:16 |

| Lostinspace_46 | Xfact> "it" what? | 09:18 |
| faileas | llutz: read it. i don't understand what it means tho | 09:18 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, Home has 6 PCs running different hosts (most are linux) all sharing data storage off the same fileserver. All can run the same XP guest. No matter which desktop, laptop, or netbook in the house, all are equally usable for kids' schoolwork. :) | 09:18 |

| Xfact | this time i mentioned... | 09:19 |

| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, easy-peasy looks good @ 1.5. Looks like its a variant of Jaunty. The EP1.5 netbook interface looks like "Green Jaunty" to me. Karmic UNR drops the right panel, and on my netbooks Karmic UNR is much snappier than Jaunty UNR was. | 09:20 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Xfact> Ahh got ya. Bottom line is...it's there somewhere. Google it, I know you can do it by command line. | 09:20 |

| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Umm, how do you restrat the computer? | 09:23 |
| Xfact | and thanks to all helpful persons ...:D | 09:23 |
| Prasoon | xxx_: I have already done the same. | 09:23 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: easy-peasy was cool on my eeepc it had all the drivers modules that worked compiled in. I tried to boot it on my old system but it failed for reasons uknown | 09:23 |
| Maletor | When will Ubuntu update its Rails package? | 09:23 |

| Lostinspace_46 | XXX_ How do you restrat the computer? | 09:24 |

| lorenzosu | Is there a photo manager which will enable to quickly copy/select photos to a default location with a keyboard shortcut? gwenview has been pointed out, but it askes for the destination directory each time. | 09:25 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> But that would restart..you said restrat...heheh. | 09:25 |
| AK_Dave | sacarlso1, AFAIK it won't work on a Dell Mini 9 either because, allegedly, it is compiled specifically for eeepc hardware. But that could be 100% FUD. | 09:25 |
| xxx_ | opps | 09:25 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Ummm...oops? | 09:26 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 your more awake then me with a 3 beers in me...lol\ | 09:26 |
| Fezzler | Flannel>> Did manually. Thanks. You rock. | 09:27 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: well I didn't read it I just tried it and it failed on my old 1.7ghz intel with 500 meg ram. I may just have been a badly burned DVD | 09:27 |
| xxx_ | Now for my question of the night is anyone using a netbook with moblin or jolicloud?? | 09:27 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> LOL, just playing with you. I am tired and dingy. 4:30 AM here. | 09:28 |
| iflema | moblin/ hereubuntu | 09:28 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Well all, gotta hit the bed...thanks all! | 09:28 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, Now? no. I quickly went back to Karmic UNR. | 09:28 |
| xxx_ | Lostinspace_46 fine just remember headed for drunk | 09:28 |
| Lostinspace_46 | xxx_> Have a ball...night. | 09:29 |
| sacarlso1 | AK_Dave: at the time I was looking for anything that would boot and I just booted an old cd with ubuntu 7.1 on it to fix some MBR problem I had at the time | 09:29 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave what is your view on netbooks and what all these companies are doing with netbook os | 09:29 |
| fossiiil | hello | 09:30 |
| theadmin | Hi, fossiiil. | 09:30 |
| raingrove | hi | 09:30 |
| iflema | moblin here dell inspiron mini, going back to netbook-remix | 09:30 |
| mbruins | how can i find out wether my laptop support 64bit or 32bit (it has got ubuntu 32bit installed on it right now) | 09:31 |
| xxx_ | iflema why back to netbook remix??? | 09:31 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, I like my Dell Minis. Thats what I think about netbooks. I think the best OS for netbook-scale hardware is linux, and the interface that I prefer to work with is Karmic UNR. But you did remind me of Moblin, which I probably never gave a good shake. It just seemed too constraining. | 09:31 |
| theadmin | mbruins: uname -a | 09:31 |
| iflema | moblin pez... all things work fine... no probs | 09:31 |
| frybye | xxx_: imho - the talk in some circles about the demise of the netbook is probably a thrust from the manuf. and trade to get folks to move upmarket as far as profit- margins are concerned.. there will continue to be consumer interest in netbooks - but perhaps not so available... not profitable enough... | 09:31 |
| mbruins | theadmin: doesnt that give the current version installed? | 09:32 |
| theadmin | mbruins: Though... yes, right. | 09:32 |
| xxx_ | frybye I disagree with profits in the past two years on netbooks out gain that of a laptop | 09:32 |
| mbruins | theadmin: but i know i have the 32bit installed right now i just want to check ive i have dual core so i can install the 64bit version | 09:32 |
| AK_Dave | frybye, profit per unit is low, but netbooks tend to sell high unit volume. Some manufacturers obviously can make a lot of money with them. Others, they don't fit their business model. | 09:33 |
| iflema | AK_Dave: have you tried the moblin/ubuntu remix | 09:33 |
| theadmin | mbruins: Well, basically... Dual Core? It sounds like it has to be 64-bit... But I can't really tell, and I always forget long commands for checking. | 09:33 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: i half suspect i'd throw together my own varient of ubuntu if i get a netbook ;p. UNR looks kinda toyish, and i think something like openbox and the bare necesities would be nice | 09:33 |
| frybye | xxx_: sales have increased - the profit margin is small so nett profits have shrunk... | 09:33 |
| mbruins | theadmin: ok no problem thanks for trying | 09:33 |
| sacarlso1 | mbruins: I'm not sure but I think the command lspci will give you an idea of the processor you have and from that we can tell you if it can run 64bit stuf | 09:33 |
| AK_Dave | iflema, I've tried moblin, but not 2.1, and much preferred UNR. | 09:34 |
| mbruins | sacarlso1: sadly no that will give a ouput of a devices | 09:34 |
| frybye | well of course depends which firms one looks at - the major netbook manuf. are probably doing ok - but per unit-sale the trade is perhaps not so happy... | 09:34 |
| xxx_ | frybye your only maybe at this point a bit off when it comes to college kids doing the purchasing in the 3rd quarter getting ready for college | 09:34 |
| iflema | AK_Dave: ubuntu has a moblin remix | 09:34 |
| sacarlso1 | mbruins: when I do it I see k8 athlon that's what I have in my box | 09:34 |
| frybye | at least they seem to be playing with the idea that they can perhaps convert some of the interest in netbooks into somewhat more profitable laptops... | 09:35 |
| digitalchemist | I've got an HP TX2, and I need some help figuring out why it's freezing when I touch the screen ... | 09:35 |
| mbruins | sacarlso1: grep flags /proc/cpuinfo seems to do the trick | 09:35 |
| AK_Dave | faileas, I've used "full desktop" Ubuntus on my netbooks, but find the UNR interface to be preferrable on small screens because it is, essentially, just a giant "tasty menu". | 09:35 |
| mbruins | sacarlso1: thanks for helping | 09:35 |
| sacarlso1 | mbruins: that sounds even better | 09:35 |
| digitalchemist | I'm running 9.10 x86_64 | 09:35 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave disagree have you seen the lastest update to moblin and jolicloud | 09:36 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: I don't usually see my desktop so... i think i'd want something like this ;p https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1111219/Lobotomy%20screenshots/stuff.png (guake, openbox, swiftfox... when everything is closed, its a blank screen unless you rightclick to get the menu open) ;p | 09:36 |
| Poobuntu | hi | 09:36 |
| frybye | <-- like the 9.10 NBR on his eeePc 1000h | 09:36 |
| AK_Dave | iflema, I've used the lpia compiles on my netbooks. There is, at best, miniscule power/battery life differences. Not enough to be worth having to use a whole different (limited) application repository. Stock Karmic UNR uses the stock i386 repos. Very liberating. | 09:37 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, I've seen screenshots, but not used Moblin 2.1. | 09:37 |
| Poobuntu | Anybody having trouble their AOL browser on UBUNTU? | 09:37 |

| digitalchemist | I've got an HP TX2 1275dx. It has an N-trig digitizer for touch/pen input. I'm running Karmic x86_64. The laptop freezes whenever I touch the screen. Any tips? | 09:38 |
| xxx_ | mobline = intel | 09:38 |
| AK_Dave | faileas, I don't think I would feel efficient with that sort of interface. | 09:38 |
| Poobuntu | i can't fucking run | 09:38 |
| Poobuntu | aol browser on this os | 09:38 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: its a non interface ;p | 09:38 |
| nmvictor | whats the command to fireup Network Manager? | 09:38 |
| AK_Dave | Poo: Use vbox | 09:38 |
| Poobuntu | and can't get my exclusive aol features! | 09:38 |
| Poobuntu | god damn it | 09:39 |
| Poobuntu | what is vbox? | 09:39 |
| xxx_ | Poobuntu lol aol lol omg | 09:39 |
| Poobuntu | i need to have my email browser | 09:39 |
| AK_Dave | Poo: www.virtualbox.org | 09:39 |
| sacarlso1 | Poobuntu: what do you use on AOL? chat? I think the Ubuntu program pidgin can chat on the AOL chat protocol | 09:39 |
| digitalchemist | Poobuntu: you can set up evolution to access your AOL mail also | 09:39 |
| faileas | nmvictor: nm-applet i think | 09:40 |
| Poobuntu | but i can't make the exclusive aol seamless profile/image sharing features work seamlessly with those cheap imitations | 09:40 |
| Poobuntu | oh well | 09:40 |
| kinja-sheep | Poobuntu: <--- World's Most Dramatic AOL Exclusive User? | 09:40 |
| Poobuntu | at least | 09:40 |
| digitalchemist | haha | 09:40 |
| Poobuntu | i don't have to run mcafee anymore | 09:40 |
| Poobuntu | and I get more than just the internet | 09:41 |

| randhol | Hi. I'm teaching my father to use Ubuntu (xubuntu actually). Problem is that the folder that are created automatically are in English: Download, Pictures etc... while in the filemanager etc... they are written in the local language (Norwegian). I would like that the original folders also are in Norwegian as it confuses my father that the same place has two names. I cannot find out how to set it up without breaking the system. Where is it defined that Pic | 09:43 |
| randhol | tures folder is Bilder | 09:43 |
| xxx_ | lol your killing me | 09:44 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: that won't affect ssh | 09:44 |
| tb45t | kinja-sheep: There is an icon for the file. | 09:44 |
| AK_Dave | hannes_, "don't feed the troll" is fine on forums, but on IRC it is SOO much more fun if several people deliberately PLAY with the troll, taking him/her almost serious. It can be a fun game for the whole family. | 09:44 |
| Diverdude | I have 2 mbox files i have extracted from a pst file using readpst. How do I import those into thunderbird? | 09:44 |
| Real_Ubot | It didn't seem to help restarting X after I commented out the use-ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsessions.options file. I still only have to write the authorization key password once to login at the ssh server. How do I ALWAYS get the password prompt when logging in using my authorization key (and hopefully it's password)? | 09:45 |
| kinja-sheep | tb45t: What path? There must be a typo in your commands. | 09:45 |

| nmvictor | i have two GSM modems,i am using one with network manager to connect to the internet, the other one i am using it as a virtual SMSC with kannel.My problem is that if i insert the other modem, which mounts(i doubt if mount is the word) /dev/ttyUSB1,since the first modem used /dev/ttyUSB0,the network manager picks it and thus i cant use it with kannel,(cant access /dev/ttyUSB1, resource busy!)so how do i disable network managers access to the second mode | 09:46 |
| Diverdude | ??? | 09:46 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave I have no problem in your opnion yes moblin is trying to team up with other distro's to run as a package other then a Netbook OS I just want to known why you pick UNR over most seeing is how jolicloud is unwilling to change its interface and needs a serious make over | 09:46 |
| Real_Ubot | How do I get ssh server to ALWAYS asking for authorization key password every time I try to login, not only once? | 09:47 |
| xxx_ | Jolicloud has gained help in its fit for a share of the netbook market... with sponsors giving 4.2 million | 09:48 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, I like the full-screen menu. It is fast, well organized, easy to navigate, and easy to use. I like how maximus works to integrate the application's bar with the top panel. I like that it is still, fundamentally, i386 Ubuntu with a UNR wrapper. Thus, apt-get access to a full i386 repo and every i386 ppa that I might want to use. | 09:49 |
| iflema | all on the go..... | 09:49 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, I don't like netbook interfaces that too strongly endorse the "cloud" meme. I want my netbook to be fully functional regardless of whether it has network access. | 09:50 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave wear do see Google OS going then??? | 09:50 |

| eagles0513875 | !iso | 09:56 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 09:56 |
| musictoto | Deathvalley122: do you have the iso on your computer and you want to burn it to dvd ? or do you have files and you want to make an iso out of them | 09:56 |
| Deathvalley122 | I have the files | 09:56 |
| iflema | eagles0513875: man mkisofs | 09:56 |
| Deathvalley122 | to make | 09:56 |
| Deathvalley122 | iso | 09:56 |
| eagles0513875 | musictoto: i sent him something that isnt an iso and he wants to make it into an iso | 09:57 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave I think I already got your idea of were it would go with this OS .... thanks jim when I need a doctor I will call you and then leave planet earth with a smile | 09:57 |
| eagles0513875 | iflema: is there a gui to make the iso's | 09:57 |
| llutz | eagles0513875: mkisofs, genisomage | 09:57 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, I didn't buy my Dell Minis for the OS that they were sold with. The fact that they were sold with Ubuntu was a bonus that improved the odds, but didn't guarantee, that my eventual linux choice(s) would run well on the hardware. I bought them as hardware. | 09:57 |
| eagles0513875 | ty llutz | 09:57 |
| bakarat | i got dual screen going with the "nv" driver (nvidia wouldn't work), but i can't choose my primary screen it seems (where the bars should be) any ideas? | 09:58 |
| musictoto | eagles0513875: Deathvalley122: what llutz said, and also what ubottu said: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion | 09:58 |
| Ookami | :D HI ^^ ,, okay lets say i create a java application .. how can i make it "runable" or "exe" and dose ubuntu run ".exe" and .. that's it ^^ ? | 09:58 |
| Xfact | 'gnome' is showing not installed in my hardy...then how i am watching GUI desktop??? (ubuntu hardy) | 09:58 |
| iflema | man mkisofs | 09:58 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave looking to buy a Netbook with a 11.6" screen or 12.1" screen and Nvidia Ion GPU | 09:58 |
| jillsmitt | i want to use some sound when i type text, how to do that? | 09:59 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, It does seem like a lot of small hardware is being sold these days in order to sell 3G network contracts. That seems to be the niche where an OS like Moblin would fit well. | 09:59 |
| llutz | Ookami: chmod +x file | 09:59 |
| musictoto | Ookami: ubuntu doesn't run .exe natively. if you want to run exe (microsoft windows executable) you need to install wine or run them in a virtual machine (virtualbox) | 09:59 |
| Ookami | llutz, chmod ? .. what dose it do ? | 10:00 |
| Ookami | musictoto, thanks | 10:00 |
| llutz | Ookami: man chmod | 10:00 |
| Xfact | 'gnome' is showing not installed (synaptic) in my hardy...then how i am watching GUI desktop??? (ubuntu hardy) | 10:00 |
| Ookami | llutz, ok | 10:00 |
| nmvictor | how do i detach a device from /dev/ttyUSBN where N is any valid number? | 10:00 |
| musictoto | Ookami: chmod sets file permissions and +x sets permissions to run/execute the file | 10:00 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, The Atom+Ion combo looks very powerful. With a 12.1" screen, it might hit a pricepoint where it is no longer really a netbook and more rightfully competes directly in the "small laptop" market where the Atom will be at a disadvantage against Core2Duo machines. | 10:01 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi what is the different on safely remove usb drive and umount ? on karmic 9.10 ? | 10:01 |
| Ookami | musictoto, i still don't get it .. i have a something.java .. i can run it after compiling it .. but .. how do i make it "run" by double clicking for example .. in "windows" and "linux" ? | 10:02 |
| AK_Dave | ubuntunewbie, none that I am aware of | 10:02 |
| ubuntunewbie | AK_Dave ? there is an option on 9.10 | 10:02 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave agree ,but Nvidia Ion makes better sense then the intel 4500 | 10:02 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, Still, its a matter of price. | 10:03 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone does anyone have any experience getting epsxe working under Ubuntu Karmic? | 10:03 |
| musictoto | Ookami: to compile it for windows you'll need crosscompiling which is not easily done. look up crosscompiling for the compiler you're using. running a binary by double clicking isn't always possible in linux because of file permissions try chmod +x | 10:03 |
| fuzzybunny | The arrow keys do not work for me | 10:03 |
| Ookami | musictoto, thanks man .. i didn't really get it ,, but i'll try it later ,, basically i thought it's something "easy" ^^ .. ciao | 10:04 |
| AK_Dave | ubuntunewbie, I am not aware that there is an actual difference between the two. The manual command is umount. Anything else is just a menu option that does the same thing. | 10:04 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave agree was not sure if the public thinks like me in you on this that the price would be there man focus | 10:04 |
| llutz | Ookami: you compile something, you'll get a file, lets call it "foo". "chmod foo" makes it executable | 10:05 |
| Gnarwal | !puregnome | 10:05 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 10:05 |
| llutz | chmod +x foo | 10:05 |
| flashkidd | !KDE packages | 10:05 |
| musictoto | llutz: that's what i said :) | 10:06 |
| llutz | musictoto: and me before too, maybe he needs 3 times to get it ;) | 10:06 |
| KillerBee | hi, i created a bridge and attached eth0 to that bridge. Now i restarted the machine and both the bridge and eth0 are gone. ! i used brctl to add the bridge. Did i miss something ? | 10:06 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, Put a pile of small netbooks/laptops in a row, all priced $400-$450. In that range will probably be where an Atom/Ion/12.1" "netbook" will fall. But you can get a 15" laptop for $450, or you can get a smaller screen with a Core2. So its a tight pricepoint. | 10:06 |
| musictoto | llutz: nice :) | 10:06 |
| hamz1aatova1 | why not the autocomplte at the address bar in firefox not always works? | 10:07 |
| llutz | !ot | xxx_ AK_Dave | 10:07 |
| ubottu | xxx_ AK_Dave: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:07 |
| sacarlso1 | KillerBee: I've use brctl before but never had it delete my eth0 at boot. | 10:08 |
| xxx_ | ubottu you use moblin and ubuntu netbook remix so how is netbooks off related???? | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:08 |
| digitalchemist | I've got an HP TX2 1275dx. It has an N-trig digitizer for touch/pen input. I'm running Karmic x86_64. The laptop freezes whenever I touch the screen. Any tips? | 10:08 |
| KillerBee | sacarlso1, i managed to get my eth0, it was done, just had to bring it up..but the bridge is lost | 10:09 |
| llutz | xxx_: this is a support-channel, netbook pro/cons are to be discussed somewhere | 10:09 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave we have bots giving us trouble gim | 10:09 |
| KillerBee | sacarlso1, is there any special method to make the bridge persistent ? | 10:09 |
| xxx_ | jim | 10:09 |
| tobiassjosten | How can I secure a port on my machine, so that only IP 1.2.3.4 may connect to it? | 10:09 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, Some people think that every line in this channel must directly reference Ubuntu every time. Gratis Ubuntu reference. | 10:09 |
| sacarlso1 | KillerBee: probly add a script that will run at boot. I use cron to do things like that | 10:10 |
| KillerBee | sacarlso1, ok thanks :) | 10:10 |
| Gnarwal | I enjoy Ubuntu very much. Windows confuses me and infuriates me! | 10:10 |
| xxx_ | llotz thats a classic lol | 10:10 |
| c3101 | KillerBee, bridges does not survive reboots | 10:10 |
| c3101 | KillerBee, look @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge | 10:11 |
| Random832 | is there a way to disable usplash without uninstalling the package (usplash messes up my video modes when resuming from hibernation, but I want to keep the ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed) | 10:11 |
| maffelu | Hm, I'm going to install Ubuntu for the first time today. I have a computer currently running winXP. If I just boot the computer up with the ubuntu cd in it, will I get the option to format the entire harddrive so that nothing is left or do I have to make a special partition? | 10:11 |
| KillerBee | c3101, thanks | 10:12 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, yes, you'll get that option. yes, you can repartition instead. | 10:12 |
| user___ | I'm having massive stability issues lately, here's a bunch of errors in my log but googleing returns very few results: http://pastebin.com/m55040d02 | 10:12 |
| Real_Ubot | ssh-add -d /home/username/id_dsa doesn't seem to remove the authorization key. It's still there when I use ssh-add -l. | 10:12 |
| Real_Ubot | Why? | 10:12 |
| maffelu | Right, but I want to wipe the entire computer and just have ubuntu, so then I just chose like "wipe all!"? | 10:12 |
| xxx_ | maffelu yes but have you run ubuntu before and did you check to see if your hardware is supported | 10:12 |
| kinja-sheep | maffelu: Pretty much, yes. Wipe wipe wipe it off. | 10:12 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, select the "use full disk" install option. That is available. | 10:12 |
| maffelu | I have not run ubuntu, I guess I should start the computer one last time and get the specs | 10:12 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: ssh-add -S | 10:13 |
| maffelu | AK_Dave, great, that's what I want :P | 10:13 |

| Belserusk | maffelu: Run the Ubuntu live cd. | 10:13 |
| maffelu | great, hope my crappy old acer laptop can handle ubuntu =) | 10:13 |
| mi6 | hi @, how i can change from here to the crunchbang chat, /join # cruinchbang? | 10:13 |
| faileas | maffelu: what specs? | 10:13 |
| xxx_ | maffelu have a acer 5520 laptop | 10:14 |
| faileas | (roughly) | 10:14 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, The Ubuntu LiveCD installer DOES NOT INSTALL ANYTHING until you get to the end of the install config screens and click okay on the last one. Then it all begins. | 10:14 |
| arghh2d2 | i'm trying to remap Mod4 to Caps_Lock... anybody know a quick and painless way to do this? | 10:14 |
| faileas | lol | 10:14 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, Most crappy old hardware works just fine/. | 10:14 |
| maffelu | AMD Turion 64 ML-30 processor (1 MB L2 cache, 1.6 GHz), 100GB HDD, 2GB DDR, 802.11b/g wireless LAN | 10:14 |
| kinja-sheep | mi6: /join #crunchbang (if the channel exists). | 10:14 |

| maffelu | it's an Aspire 5002WLMi | 10:14 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: I tried ssh-add -D and it says all is removed, but I still find the key using ssh-add -l | 10:14 |
| maffelu | right, so what specs do I need? Graphicscard, soundcard, netcard? | 10:15 |
| mi6 | kinja-sheep, zes, now its working, thank for help | 10:15 |
| Real_Ubot | I don't get this, why shall I use ssh-add -D sry? | 10:15 |
| kinja-sheep | !live | maffelu | 10:15 |
| ubottu | maffelu: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 10:15 |
| xxx_ | maffelu will run on ubuntu not sure about 9.10 maybe 8.10 | 10:15 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, My crappiest old hardware is some old Compaq slimline desktops with Pentium-4 2.4Ghz CPUs and 512mb of ram. | 10:15 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: sry = sorry, for typo in line before (-S) | 10:15 |
| faileas | maffelu: well it seems to be nvidia based.. so should work well | 10:15 |
| maffelu | right, so I just boot from the CD first and run ubunto from disc and check? | 10:16 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Ok. But it's still there? | 10:16 |
| maffelu | holy crap, I found my computer in the list :P | 10:16 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Do I have to restart it? | 10:16 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, I found an enormous speed boost once I cobbled them up to 1gb each. Your Turion 64 w/ 2gb DDR will be very nice. | 10:16 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: Pentium M 1.4. no hard drive. 256 mb disk. i used to run kubuntu on it before the hard drive died ;p | 10:16 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: it "shouldn't", sorry i don't know why | 10:16 |
| maffelu | AK_Dave, sweet | 10:16 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Ok. | 10:16 |
| maffelu | so I want 9.04 Jaunty | 10:17 |
| sameepreturns2 | is there any other good emulator other than Wine | 10:17 |
| AK_Dave | faileas, I'm talking current hardware only. I'm not counting the old 386-33 that I compiled my first linux kernel for me. | 10:17 |
| === EsatYuce is now known as Guest21671 | ||
| faileas | AK_Dave: oh, is current. I just run it off a flashdrive now ;p | 10:17 |
| maffelu | is Edgy, Feisty and Jauny like old, stable and experimental? | 10:17 |
| faileas | no | 10:17 |
| faileas | with ubuntu you just have LTS and current | 10:18 |
| maffelu | allright | 10:18 |
| ahughes | is it easier (i.e. me == idiot and looking for idiot proof) to run the live cd, and use gpart to create dual boot partitions or use the install partitioning... I am having some trouble with the "install" "manually create partitions". Says I have no root partitions | 10:18 |
| faileas | ahughes: you prolly need to set a partition as root | 10:18 |
| ahughes | faileas, good advice... not helpful tho | 10:18 |
| xxx_ | maffelu stable yes expermenital for you yes... for linux no | 10:18 |
| user___ | can anyone help me with my system stability and errors in log? | 10:18 |
| llutz | sameepreturns2: 1st wine ain't an emulator, 2nd: try virtualization like vmware/vbox, kvm if you need to run windows(-apps) or 3rd better try to find native linux-apps | 10:18 |
| faileas | ahughes: well i think you can set a mountpoint when you install | 10:19 |
| AK_Dave | ahughes, I prefer to trust a gparted livecd or a knoppix stick for complication pre-install repartitioning. But the partitioner in the Ubuntu livecd should be fully capable. | 10:19 |
| maffelu | allright xxx_ | 10:19 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: iirc the livecd uses gparted right? | 10:19 |
| xxx_ | no no go with playonlinux | 10:19 |
| sameepreturns2 | llutz: what do I try if I need to run games like cs.... | 10:19 |
| maffelu | if I downloaded the 'ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386'-disc, is that jaunty? | 10:20 |
| xxx_ | Playonlinux for wine emulator great software none of the setup time of wine | 10:20 |
| AK_Dave | faileas, yes, but it seems to not be as full-featured. Or maybe it just has a more noob-friendly interface. | 10:20 |
| sameepreturns2 | llutz: yeah ok , Wine Is Not an Emulator | 10:20 |
| llutz | sameepreturns2: no idea, i don't use games | 10:20 |
| faileas | prolly that. | 10:20 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, 9.10 :== Karmic | 10:20 |
| ahughes | AK_Dave, I have the manual install thing up now... do I create a "New Partiion" on the free space or a "New PArtition Table" from the /dev/sda device? I actually want 3 partitions... 1 for mythbunut, 1 for xp and 1 for chromeos | 10:20 |
| maffelu | Hm, Karmic isn't in the list | 10:20 |
| sameepreturns2 | llutz: guess I ll have to switch back to windows then... | 10:21 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, list prolly hasn't been updated for Karmic. | 10:21 |
| maffelu | so Karmic comes after Jaunty? | 10:21 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, yes | 10:21 |

| Guest21671 | I have one mp4 player with USB. It had 2 partitions. I put it on my hard disc with windows OS. There were many mp3 files inside. I also copied some mp3 files inside. Then i tried to put it on Ubuntu, There is not anything on it. Just opens one folder named usb_memory. How can i access the files? | 10:23 |
| AK_Dave | ahughes, you can do either depending on how your existing partition table looks and what you want it to look like in the end. Do you want a seperate /boot / /home series, or a single partition install for Ubuntu. Lots of variables. Lots of questions. Gparted can handle them all. But you do need to know what YOU want first. | 10:23 |

| digitalchemist | I've got an HP TX2 1275dx. It has an N-trig digitizer for touch/pen input. I'm running Karmic x86_64. The laptop freezes whenever I touch the screen. Any tips? | 10:37 |
| Lord_mezry | AK_Dave: also i have problems connecting to shared internet connections i.e shared by windows | 10:37 |
| iflema | ? | 10:37 |
| AK_Dave | Lord_mezry, I don't know anything about that. My internet connection runs through a nice router and is distributed out from there. I, personally, wouldn't trust any Windows computer to "share" an internet connection if I had any other option at all. | 10:38 |
| llutz | arghh2d2: Caps_Lock | 10:38 |
| Lord_mezry | AK_Dave: hmm | 10:38 |
| Lord_mezry | AK_Dave: it's just that i sometimes share internet through my friends computer via wireless | 10:39 |
| xxx_ | lol | 10:39 |
| AK_Dave | Lord_mezry, Internet comes in, goes to router, and is shared wirelessly from there. Bridge router in the garage picks up the -g signal and turns it into an open-access -b network for the cul-de-sac. | 10:40 |
| Lord_mezry | AK_Dave: if i install this smbfs then will i be able to access folders sahred by windows an vice versa | 10:40 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: they really need to have ethernet cabling standard in houses, like power ;p | 10:41 |

| frogzoo | no recommendations as to a real time globe? | 10:42 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave your assuming this person's laptop is not using a internet card such as at&t mobile or verizion | 10:42 |
| * faileas has a pair of routers. one reliable one for everything, and a unreliable one i got for free cause my dad complained of bad reception at one obscure corner of the apartment ;p | 10:42 | |
| AK_Dave | faileas, I ought to invest in a nice -n router, if I could only pick one to buy, since 1/2 of the networkable appliances in the house already have -n cards in them. | 10:42 |
| xxx_ | AK_Dave this is known as jerry rigging a setup so you don't have to pay for internet acesses | 10:43 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: well allegedly the fiber internet modems come with an AP. if they do, i can convert my DDWRT to a bridge. | 10:43 |
| AK_Dave | xxx_, True. Bridging out a 3G signal to make an ad-hoc wifi AP out of a laptop is something I'd trust to Ubuntu, not Windows. Gratis Ubuntu reference. | 10:44 |

| * faileas would need to revamp his infractructure since i'm entirely running off 100 mbps parts | 10:47 | |
| AK_Dave | faileas, Both of my wireless routers reliably run dd-wrt and are rock solid for me. One handles the house, the other one bridges the main signal into a throttled -b free net for the cul-de-sac. Mostly so I can sit on the lawn in the summer. | 10:47 |
| iflema | Lord_mezry: there are a cou[ple of thing not mentioned to do this with wireless.. | 10:48 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: i have a WRT54GL (which is what i recommend to people) and a di 524 (which i got free from a client who hated it) | 10:48 |
| faileas | the latter is.. aweful, and no option of replacement firmware | 10:49 |

| maffelu | my eyes bleed when I watch it, it's like it's found no graphicshandler | 10:49 |
| AK_Dave | faileas, I like the WRT54G series. I have 2 of them myself. I'm considering adding a 610. Its a 610 or a 400. | 10:50 |
| iflema | maffelu: there is an install optionat boot 'safe grapgics mode' | 10:50 |
| faileas | AK_Dave: i hope they have a ipv6 capable version though. It would save me some headache ;p | 10:50 |
| maffelu | so I must have selected that then | 10:50 |
| AK_Dave | maffelu, I suspect that, perhaps, this is why Karmic wasn't listed for your old laptop. Perhaps the newer xorg doesn't support your old graphics. | 10:50 |

| zer0_mood | hi all ! how do i install a package i downloaded? its .tar.gz | 11:14 |
| oCean_ | !ufw | biopyte the u is for "uncomplicated" | 11:14 |
| ubottu | biopyte the u is for "uncomplicated": Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 11:14 |
| kinja-sheep | EsatYuce: When you log in IRC client, you need to type in password. There are many clients that allow you to do this automatically. I guess you didn't set that one up. | 11:15 |
| zer0_mood | hi all ! how do i install a package i downloaded? its .tar.gz ? | 11:15 |

| ziroday | porki: I'm sorry I'm confused, what are you trying to achieve here? | 11:15 |
| zer0_mood | anyone can help me ?? | 11:15 |
| kinja-sheep | zer0_mood: What package is that? | 11:15 |
| suigeneris | !configure | zer0_mood | 11:15 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: I thought that ssh-agent somehow was necessary to use keys, not to store the password only. So that the usage of keys would be problematci disabling the ssh-agent. | 11:15 |
| zer0_mood | erm.. its ecliple for java | 11:16 |
| oCean_ | zer0_mood: a .tar.gz is an archive. Unpacking: "tar xvfz filename.tar.gz", after that you might have to compile before you will be able to install | 11:16 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: nope, it makes just authentication easier. read "man ssh-agent" | 11:16 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: What d you use then, ssh-agent will usually be used default to handle keys, won't it? | 11:16 |
| kinja-sheep | zer0_mood: You can use the one in the repo. | 11:16 |
| suigeneris | zer0_mood ./configure && make && sudo make install, | 11:16 |

| zer0_mood | oh u mean via synaptic package ? | 11:16 |
| biopyte | oCean_, ubottu, when ufw is not enabled, do i still have network protection? if so, why are there no filter rules according to iptables -L? | 11:16 |
| porki | ziroday , windows have lots of folder and subfolders inside , does ubuntu also have such indepth directory struc ? | 11:17 |
| xxx_ | navigate to the folder where the source file is extracted using the cd commands….. and then type the following… ./configure make sudo make install clean install | 11:17 |
| EsatYuce | kinja-sheep, it doesnt ask me about password while sign in the channel. WHY? | 11:17 |

| maffelu | right, xxx_ , this installment looks much better. Thanks for the assitance! | 11:27 |
| EsatYuce | soreau, : i run it with my car. But i put it to my computer with Ubnutu system, i cant see anything | 11:28 |
| kinja-sheep | !pinning | lightbricko | 11:28 |
| ubottu | lightbricko: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 11:28 |
| kinja-sheep | lightbricko: That only works if the older version is available. You can check it in Sypathic. | 11:28 |
| llutz | lightbricko: you have to find that deb somewhere and install it manually, then pin it/set it on hold | 11:28 |
| soreau | EsatYuce: That doesn't answer the question though. How are you trying to view the files? | 11:28 |
| kiwi_ | oCean_, enabled ufw, reboot, iptable rules are active | 11:28 |
| xxx_ | maffelu I dont use ubuntu good luck :) | 11:28 |
| lightbricko | kinja-sheep and llutz, thanks for helping! I will try to find it somewhere (it's not in Synaptic) | 11:29 |
| maffelu | wait, no, it fucked up :( | 11:29 |
| EsatYuce | soreau, i have some work, i will read all of your answers, thansks | 11:29 |

| xxx_ | maffelu what the problem???? | 11:29 |
| maffelu | the graphics | 11:29 |
| maffelu | get's all pixly and stuff | 11:29 |
| oCean_ | kiwi_: if in need to modify rules, see the *rules files in /etc/ufw. Also, a reboot is not necessary. Just "sudo stop ufw" and "sudo start ufw" will do | 11:29 |
| maffelu | xxx_, you don't use ubuntu? You use debian? | 11:30 |
| oCean_ | maffelu: mind your language in this channel please | 11:30 |
| maffelu | right, sorry | 11:30 |
| kiwi_ | why is ufw not enabled default on the standard ubuntu install? recently, i found out that i have been using my laptop without any network security for almost two years. that doesnt make any sense to me. | 11:30 |
| xxx_ | yes debian | 11:30 |
| maffelu | well, shouldn't ubuntu find the graphics routines automagically? | 11:30 |
| soreau | maffelu: What causes your pixelation? | 11:30 |
| llutz | kiwi_: because its useless in most cases | 11:30 |
| hamz1aatova1 | why not the autocomplte at the address bar in firefox not always works??? | 11:30 |
| kiwi_ | llutz, why is this so/ | 11:31 |
| i00nsu | clear | 11:31 |
| kiwi_ | ? | 11:31 |
| i00nsu | clear | 11:31 |
| i00nsu | clear | 11:31 |
| maffelu | I have no idea. After I've selected 'install ubuntu' I get to the part where I select language, timezone etc and the screen get's all pixly | 11:31 |
| FloodBot2 | i00nsu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:31 |
| minimec | maffelu: What king af GPU are you using, what kind of 'pixly and stuff' are you seeing on your screen? | 11:31 |
| maffelu | GPU? | 11:31 |
| maffelu | It's like watching a computer through TV if you know what I mean? | 11:31 |
| llutz | kiwi_: services should be configured right, so no "firewall" is needed. | 11:31 |
| iflema | kiwi_: generally not a problem... if ya have complicated setups your allready on the ball.. try firestarter | 11:32 |
| kiwi_ | oCean_, i guess, for a standard desktop install, i dont have to tweak the filter rules, because these are set to reasonable defaults. | 11:32 |
| xxx_ | gpu =graphics card or graphics processor unit | 11:32 |
| minimec | maffelu: Graphics processing unit | 11:32 |
| candy | kiwi, hi | 11:32 |
| maffelu | the graphics card is a SiS Mirage 2 Shared video memory (UMA) | 11:32 |
| candy | londonali1010, hey how to join that ubuntu | 11:32 |
| candy | londonali1010, m an newbie plz tell me | 11:32 |
| Guest56131 | #linuxac | 11:33 |
| kiwi_ | llutz, i see your point. but i thought network security is handled by the kernel via iptables environment. | 11:33 |
| minimec | maffelu: Do you know how much RAM your system has? | 11:33 |
| maffelu | 2GB mindnull | 11:34 |
| maffelu | minimec, 2 GB | 11:34 |
| llutz | kiwi_: basicaly yes, but if there are no services running, theres no need to filter something | 11:34 |
| llutz | kiwi_: and since most users just don't know how to setup filtering, they misconfigure iptables badly and just "feel secure", even worse | 11:35 |
| londonali1010 | candy, Sorry, I don't understand your question? | 11:35 |
| kiwi_ | llutz, so you say, with a standard ubuntu desktop install its unlikely that the box from remote, even without firewall setup? that would make sense. | 11:36 |
| xxx_ | maffelu looked up that video card goes all the way back to Ubuntu 6.10 wow edgy | 11:36 |
| minimec | maffelu: Can you open a console and paste.ubuntu.com/ the output of 'lspci' and another paste for the output of 'dmesg'? | 11:36 |
| maffelu | so there is support? | 11:36 |
| kiwi_ | hacked from remote | 11:36 |
| maffelu | minimec, I'm installing as we speak | 11:36 |
| llutz | kiwi_: check it out, run nmap from outside to scan that machine or netstat/lsof locally to find out what services are running | 11:36 |
| geirha | kiwi_: I've never bothered with a firewall in Ubuntu. Never had any problems with that. | 11:37 |
| candy | londonali1010, i mean what i got to type to enter or join any group? | 11:37 |
| llutz | kiwi_: and users running additional services HAVE TO KNOW how to configure them secure. Filtering should always be the last step | 11:37 |
| minimec | maffelu: So you are installing Ubuntu 9.10 on the 'pixly and stuff' Computer right now? | 11:37 |
| maffelu | according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5024WLMi there should be no issues | 11:37 |
| maffelu | no, Ubuntu 9.04 | 11:37 |
| maffelu | minimec, I checked that link which said that it would work with Jauny | 11:38 |
| londonali1010 | candy, I'm using XChat client, which is quite easy to use, to join another channel, just go to server > join a channel... and type in the channel you want. If you're on terminal I can't help you! | 11:38 |
| candy | arvind_khadri, hey | 11:38 |
| SkareCrow | I deleted my Ubuntu partition and was presented with a grub recover> console at boot time. I am currently trying to get back to my Windows partition. I installed the mbr package and ran install-mbr /dev/sda1 and rebooted and it just printed out MBR twice and sat there. I also tried sda2 but my windows files are on that partition. There is some boot named files in the sda1 partition. Anyone have a clue on how I can boot back into my windows pa | 11:38 |
| SkareCrow | rtition. I can't seem to get back to the grub recover console any more either. | 11:38 |
| candy | londonali1010, i m afraid but i m also using xchat cient | 11:38 |
| minimec | maffelu: Ok. Let us wait until the installation is finished. Maybe you were shouting too soon ;) | 11:38 |
| llutz | SkareCrow: why sda1? mbr should be written to sda | 11:38 |
| Tayl | Is read and write to NTFS supported yet? It's been a while since I've used Ubuntu. | 11:39 |
| maffelu | allright, it will take some time cause I have to format my 100gb harddrive which has winXP on it | 11:39 |
| maffelu | I'll be back! :P | 11:39 |
| iceroot | Tayl: yes | 11:39 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: I created the config file and then entered Host * on the first line, ForwardAgent no on the next line. I still don't have to enter password when connecting through ssh. Do I have to so something more to get ti wirking? | 11:39 |
| minimec | maffelu: OK. | 11:39 |
| iflema | Tayl: yep | 11:39 |
| Real_Ubot | *working | 11:39 |
| SkareCrow | llutz, I tried /dev/sda also, I attempted /dev/sda1 cause there is some boot named files in there and is only a 102mb partition | 11:39 |
| xxx_ | maffelu good luck | 11:39 |
| === sniper is now known as Guest37548 | ||
| Guest37548 | #linuxac | 11:39 |
| maffelu | xxx_, minimec thanks. Hopefully this will work out :P | 11:39 |
| SkareCrow | llutz, the sda2 partition has my windows files on there | 11:39 |
| Tayl | iceroot, iflema: Thanks for the response. | 11:39 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: indented 2nd line (ForwardAgent No)? | 11:39 |
| llutz | SkareCrow: mbr always resides on sda, otherwise its just a partition-boot-record pbr | 11:40 |
| xxx_ | maffelu hopefully the drive is not one just supported in Ubuntu livecd | 11:40 |
| maffelu | xxx_, oh yea, didn't think of that | 11:40 |
| SkareCrow | llutz, well I tried install-mbr /dev/sda and I got the same as trying sda1 and that is just 2 lines of MBR and it just sitting there | 11:40 |
| === myse|f_ is now known as myse|f | ||
| Tayl | I assume that, as everyone was detected and functioning perfectly upon booting the Live CD, that everyone will work out of the tin upon a full install without any major need to play with drivers? | 11:41 |
| maffelu | well, good thing I have two computers, I'll throw the otherone away if this doesn't work =) | 11:41 |
| Tayl | *everything | 11:41 |
| ziroday | Tayl: yes | 11:41 |
| xxx_ | maffelu no reason to it should work!!!! | 11:41 |
| Tayl | Brilliant, thanks! | 11:41 |
| lightbricko | kinja-sheep and llutz: I did what you wrote, and it works perfectly! I found the deb on packages.ubuntu.com in an older ubuntu version. | 11:41 |
| kiwi_ | llutz, ok, i understand. thank you. that way, i better disable ufw, because its not very useful on a plain desktop install, anyway :-)? | 11:41 |
| kinja-sheep | lightbricko: Great. We're glad to hear that. :-) | 11:42 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: By two spaces? Shall I use Tab instead? | 11:42 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: just not at start of the line | 11:42 |
| llutz | beginning* | 11:42 |
| SkareCrow | llutz, I ain't 100% sure if I rebooted trying /dev/sda there is a 50% chance I switched it to sda1 again and tried it before testing plain sda | 11:42 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: I don't. | 11:42 |
| SkareCrow | llutz, I will try it again just to make sure if you think that should work | 11:43 |
| xxx_ | Tyal there are minor problems with drivers ,but if someone got the install done and loaded the desktop it should run... | 11:43 |
| biopyte | llutz, unstable connection, sorry, once more: is ufw rather useless on a standard desktop install? | 11:43 |
| llutz | biopyte: imho yes | 11:43 |
| biopyte | llutz, ok | 11:44 |
| Lama_Chok | Skare crow do you have ubuntu live cd | 11:44 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I am on it right now | 11:44 |
| Lama_Chok | k download ms-sys | 11:45 |
| Lama_Chok | run it | 11:45 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I tried | 11:45 |
| xxx_ | Tyal the only way this may be different is if the user upgraded all the way from Ubuntu Edgy till Ubuntu Intrepid the driver maybe an old driver setup | 11:45 |
| Lama_Chok | What's the problem then | 11:45 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I enabled both the universe and multiverse source and both do not contain ms-sys | 11:45 |
| Lama_Chok | download the file, not from software center | 11:46 |
| Tayl | xxx_: The last installation I've used was Hoary Hedgehog. Had some issues with my graphics card (ATi X1950) | 11:46 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, the file? | 11:46 |
| jxjl | good morning, I have some problems with my disk and it seems that some of system files are broken (for example I can't boot new kernel, but I can boot the older one), Is there any way, how to tell apt to check installed packages and reinstall broken ones? | 11:46 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I went to the projects page on sourceforge and I had to compile it myself | 11:46 |
| Tayl | But I assume ATi's drivers have come a LONG way since then lol. | 11:46 |
| Tayl | Or at least, I hope. | 11:46 |
| Lama_Chok | ms-sys.deb file | 11:46 |
| SkareCrow | whats the difference going to be from using install-mbr /dev/sda? | 11:47 |
| biopyte | llutz, ok, in that case, whats the criteria to activate the firewall? how do you decide? wait a minute, i know the answer: there is no general rule, it depends on the case. :-) | 11:47 |
| biopyte | llutz, only academic question, not really important. | 11:47 |
| Lama_Chok | wait i will give u the link | 11:47 |
| minimec | jxjl: Why did this problem occur? Did you do a system upgrade 9.04 --> 9.10, or was it during daily use? | 11:47 |
| llutz | biopyte: thats the way _i_ see it, yes | 11:47 |
| candy | i m having problem with wifi networking being detected in ubuntu 9.10 in my laptp vostro 1320... anybdoy help?? | 11:48 |
| biopyte | llutz, ok, thanks, i have a clearer picture now. | 11:48 |
| jxjl | minimec: durning daily use, I tried to repai it with e2fsck, but the problem is still there | 11:48 |
| llutz | biopyte: firewalls are needed for complex network-setups, but on dedicated machines and not on desktops. 1st thing always has to be the service configuration | 11:49 |
| xxx_ | Tayl support in Ubuntu is limited to newer hardware yes they support newer drivers ,but some older hardware becomes obsolete or un supported in new versions of Ubuntu that is why so many change to a Debian or Slackware version so they can run Stable or Unstable packages... | 11:49 |
| Lama_Chok | goto this link http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59596 | 11:49 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: It isn't working. I still can log into my ssh server without getting the password prompt one again even having the ~/.ssh/config file that contains the Host * on ine line and then ForwardAgent no on the next one. | 11:49 |
| Rasasor | help | 11:49 |
| biopyte | llutz, ok | 11:49 |
| minimec | jxjl: So... I would bakcup you /home data as soon as possilble, as a first step.. | 11:49 |
| candy | dear ubuntuans anybody to suggest me?? | 11:49 |
| iceroot | xxx_: debian is not supporting more hardware then ubuntu | 11:49 |
| Lama_Chok | have u done whatever they have asked? | 11:49 |
| iceroot | xxx_: ubuntu is supporting more hardware because debian is some kind of crazy about nonfree software | 11:49 |

| soreau | candy: What wifi card do you have? | 11:50 |
| iceroot | candy: for desktop, yes | 11:50 |
| llutz | Real_Ubot: that's odd, it should disable the agent for your connections to all (*) hosts this way. sorry, no idea why i won't do | 11:50 |
| Lama_Chok | k SkareCrow, do you have a bootable Windows XP disk | 11:50 |
| Tayl | xxx_: Ah, gotchya. I assume that if an obsolete piece of hardware that was supported in older versions that may have been removed from newer versions, the drivers can still be aquired and used? | 11:50 |
| candy | soreau, it came with the laptop installed already | 11:50 |
| minimec | jxjl: Then I would probably try a new clean installation on '/' (I always have a seperate /home, which I normally don't touch when dooing a clean Installation). | 11:50 |
| llutz | it | 11:51 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I told you already. I enabled the multiverse and universe sources and ms-sys doesn't exist | 11:51 |
| soreau | candy: Can you see what it is listed as in the output of 'lspci'? | 11:51 |
| candy | soreau, just a second | 11:51 |
| Lama_Chok | download from any other site | 11:51 |
| xxx_ | iceroot I agree with you there ,but simple function of your desktop is what you aim for fast and friendly | 11:51 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I do have the windows disk. I am using Windows 7 and the fixmbr doesn't exist on the recovery console | 11:51 |
| Real_Ubot | llutz: Ok. Thanks anyway. | 11:51 |
| SkareCrow | Lama_Chok, I attempted to use bootsect in the console also | 11:51 |

| soreau | candy: Ah, I see. Well it would be more useful to look at things while they're in there non-working state but apparently, everything is working right now | 12:03 |
| xxx_ | iceroot going for aech linux next | 12:03 |
| xxx_ | arch linux | 12:03 |
| zoug | trijntje, did you configure firefox ? | 12:03 |
| trijntje | zoug, yes | 12:04 |
| candy | soreau, but if now also i switch off and on again then wifi ll not connect | 12:04 |
| soreau | candy: Then don't do that :) | 12:04 |
| ecart | how to make the menu transparent? | 12:04 |
| candy | soreau, okei... thanks... :-) | 12:04 |
| soreau | ecart: If you have desktop effects enabled, it's easy | 12:05 |
| candy | :-) | 12:05 |
| candy | soreau, :-) | 12:05 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | minimec, is there a way to do it with the super grub disc? | 12:05 |
| soreau | candy: No telling what is happening. Maybe the module needs reloading, maybe it is a bug in the driver, cannot say. You would have to ask the realtec driver devs if you could find them | 12:06 |
| minimec | MrWizeGuy1983: I cannot tell you for grub2. 9.10 uses grub2 and I don't know if there is a Supergrub2 Disk You can use. | 12:06 |
| hydrid | trijntje: i did it but the speed is stil slow.(Imagine that the system is brand new with nothing installed yet extra).Thanks for the help thoou. | 12:07 |
| candy | soreau, u mean i got to put a complain to dell?? | 12:07 |
| ecart | soreau my video card is 32mb onboard. already managed to leave the terminal over the menu items do not. | 12:07 |
| soreau | candy: I doubt Dell writes realtec drivers for linux | 12:07 |
| candy | soreau, but they dont take complains related to linux | 12:07 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | minimec, you helped a lot with that last answer, i get now why it couldn't recover my grub | 12:07 |
| minimec | MrWizeGuy1983: ;) | 12:07 |
| zoug | trijntje, hydrid: i think its sometimes the ethernet drivers. | 12:08 |
| candy | soreau, ya... i m helpless... dont know what to do... for time sake its ok.. but m afraid for other problems | 12:08 |
| soreau | candy: Don't complain to dell, ask on a reputable forum like linuxquestions.org for example | 12:08 |
| ecart | soreau | 12:08 |
| ecart | ... | 12:08 |
| xxx_ | maffelu you alive | 12:08 |
| soreau | ecart: I didn't understand what you said | 12:08 |
| hydrid | zoug: hydrid, trijntje: its odd, but a dpkg reconfigure -a did it for me.Can you help cause trijntje option didnt help | 12:08 |
| candy | soreau, ya that would be a better option.. | 12:09 |
| === jofo_ is now known as jofo | ||
| candy | soreau, frankly speaking i m a newbie to this... so its quite difficult for me to understand what they give for solutions until a manual conversation is there | 12:09 |
| zoug | hydrid, is it a fresh install or it suddenly stopped working? | 12:10 |
| candy | soreau, but i think i ll get with it soon... | 12:10 |
| hydrid | its a fresh install to a fresh new disk | 12:10 |
| ecart | soreau is to make the menu transparent? The terminal already done and the bars, less the menu | 12:11 |
| soreau | candy: Well it's better to report it because it might get fixed in the future | 12:11 |
| soreau | ecart: What window manager are you using? | 12:11 |
| pav5088 | how does one find the list of packages installed by tasksel for various tasks? | 12:11 |
| hydrid | is there any other browser that bits firefiox in linux world?cause i think that is stupid an open source browser to work BETTER in windows! | 12:12 |
| pav5088 | I'm playing with FAI and need some package lists to feed it. | 12:12 |
| candy | soreau, ya sure.. i ll do that.. can u get me some good list of forums where i can put my question and expect a better solution? | 12:12 |
| kevdog | kk\\ | 12:12 |
| cor_r | hydrid, firefox doesnt work better on windows?!? but u could also use opera chromium aurora iceweasel etc. | 12:12 |
| soreau | candy: I would report on ubuntuforums.org and linuxquestions.org | 12:13 |
| xxx_ | hybrid did you watch the video on speeding up your firefox web browser and how many add ons are you running | 12:13 |
| candy | soreau, okei... i ll do in both... and ll see what can i get... thanks alot | 12:13 |
| zoug | hydrid, its a system wide issue and its haunting since the karmic release. | 12:13 |
| candy | soreau, one more question | 12:13 |
| hydrid | cor_r: yes it works better in windows its much much faster than in ubuntu 9.10 | 12:13 |
| hydrid | xxx_ i am not using any add on | 12:13 |
| ecart | soreau I am new to linux I would like to teach me how to | 12:14 |
| cor_r | im not using ubuntu neither windows, but still it works just fine on my linux system | 12:14 |
| candy | soreau, does vlc play all the formats?? or do i have to get other players or plugins?? | 12:14 |
| noob2 | is there a channel for rdesktop? | 12:14 |
| xxx_ | iceweasel, chrome and opera are other choices | 12:14 |
| soreau | ecart: Well, what desktop environment are you using; ie. gnome, kde, xfce,etc | 12:15 |
| ecart | soreau you have some step by step how to do? | 12:15 |
| xxx_ | I know chrome works fast | 12:15 |
| ecart | hum | 12:15 |
| ecart | gnome | 12:15 |
| ecart | gnome | 12:15 |
| FloodBot2 | ecart: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:15 |
| hydrid | thanks zoug for your sincerely answer cause the others started shouting with my opinion in firefox and ubuntu | 12:15 |
| ecart | ubuntu 10 koala | 12:15 |
| ecart | kamic | 12:15 |
| pav5088 | ecart, what kinds of things do you use your computer for? | 12:15 |
| zoug | hydrid, problem is with the OS itself and not firefox. | 12:16 |
| xxx_ | ubuntu is finally becoming bloated | 12:16 |
| defenceminister | Can the root partition be resized and have more space given to a home partition without losing data? | 12:16 |
| cor_r | hydrid , as far as i know all of us gave u examples of other browsers.. | 12:16 |
| soreau | ecart: So it is likely your window manager is either metacity or compiz. Bring up a terminal and look at the output of 'ps ax|egrep "compiz|metacity"|grep -v grep' | 12:16 |
| noob2 | does anyone know the irc of rdesktop? | 12:16 |
| hydrid | ok zoug thanks i wll try another browser then to do my work better | 12:16 |
| cor_r | defenceminister, yes,gparted | 12:17 |
| maffelu | man, installing ubuntu is fast | 12:17 |
| hydrid | yes cor_r thanks i appreciate it | 12:17 |
| maffelu | xxx_, alive! | 12:17 |
| pav5088 | if you can boot linux and log in, and then log out again you can use it. :) You can also learn how to use a hammer in a day... but you'll be learning how to apply these tools to different jobs for the rest of your life (if you have lots of jobs you need to apply them to) | 12:17 |
| maffelu | xxx_, rebooting now, moment of truth | 12:17 |
| iflema | defenceminister: gparted live cd... just for partitioning and resizing | 12:17 |
| xxx_ | maffelu ok | 12:17 |
| defenceminister | cor_r, do I have to run gparted from a live cd environment? | 12:17 |
| cemc | where is the option for deleting a file directly (aka without trash) in GNOME ? | 12:17 |
| cor_r | noob2, ltsp on freenode i think | 12:18 |
| pav5088 | defenceminister, live CD is your friend. | 12:18 |
| defenceminister | gparted does not seem to allow me to resize, I'm assuming I have to be in a live cd environment. | 12:18 |
| maffelu | rebooting again (had to remove boot from disc) | 12:18 |
| cor_r | defenceminister, u dont have to but Id recommend | 12:18 |
| xxx_ | ok | 12:18 |
| cor_r | defenceminister, like iflema said | 12:18 |
| === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib | ||
| noob2 | i could ask there... but not really looking for ltsp... | 12:19 |
| maffelu | xxx_, problem still not solved, do I have to make the changes myself? | 12:19 |
| xxx_ | terminal come up | 12:19 |
| pav5088 | noob2, you could ask around in the general channels but I think you may have to use the email forums of rdesktop if you want to be sure of an answer. | 12:20 |
| cor_r | noob2, sry then i dont know :( | 12:20 |
| maffelu | how do I get terminal xxx_ :P | 12:20 |

| maffelu | xxx_, so what can I do to fix this? | 12:22 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, just ask your question... no need to ask permission ;) | 12:22 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest55642 | ||
| soreau | SetiAmon: There's no possible way we're going to guess what problem you're having if you don't tell us | 12:22 |
| xxx_ | maffelu does this run up a window in gdm allowing you to pick driver | 12:22 |
| SetiAmon | basically.i bought a vga cable to output my video to my hdtv.it works but..... But then i get no video displayed on my flat panel monitor | 12:22 |
| maffelu | xxx_, do you mean if I enter 'gdm' in the terminal? | 12:23 |
| xxx_ | yes | 12:23 |
| SetiAmon | Sorry soreau i just didn't want to ask a question without being polite | 12:23 |
| maffelu | xxx_, no, I get a warning | 12:23 |

| pav5088 | SetiAmon, these channels are busy... and "netiquette" says that it's fine to just ask right away. | 12:23 |
| soreau | ecart: There you go, so you're using metacity. If you want more effects you should use compiz. Which video card do you have as reported by the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'? | 12:24 |
| SetiAmon | I am using nvidia graphics drivers | 12:24 |
| cor_r | WTF ecart ? hitler@Berlin? | 12:25 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: Have you checked nvidia-settings ? | 12:25 |

| ecart | cor_r yes | 12:25 |

| soreau | ecart: With metacity, you can have transparent window borders and even real terminal transparency, but not drop down menu transparency afaik | 12:25 |
| SetiAmon | i have a nividia 7900gs which has two dvi outputs.i bought a vga cable and had a dvi to Vga converter which works fine for my tv but then i get no video on my flatscreen | 12:25 |

| Vhozard | Anyone here with a subscription to Nature ? | 12:26 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, have you looked in your display properties in System/Preferences? | 12:26 |
| xxx_ | maffelu ok | 12:26 |
| maffelu | ah crap, I have no internet, right | 12:26 |
| maffelu | have to fix that somehow | 12:26 |
| minimec | maffelu: I see, you still have your problem. Can you open a console and paste.ubuntu.com/ the output of 'lspci' and another paste for the output of 'dmesg'? | 12:26 |
| maffelu | doesn't ubuntu have automatic detection? | 12:26 |
| spO | i type smbpasswd -a users but it doesn't add anything password to password file | 12:27 |
| soreau | ecart: The good news is you can get a video card capable of running compiz for $10USD if that is an option fro you | 12:27 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, you should be able to control which monitors are active in there. | 12:27 |
| soreau | ecart: Any nvidia or ati card made in this century should be able to run compiz :) | 12:27 |
| maffelu | minimec, I have no internet on that computer, is there something I should look for? | 12:27 |
| biopyte | using a core2 system i stil installed the i386 distro to avois compatibility issues. meanwhile, does this still make sense or could i use the amd64 branch without any potential problems? | 12:28 |
| Hadi | !grub | 12:28 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 12:28 |
| SetiAmon | pav 5088.but if i hook up my tv i get no output on my flatscreen...i can plug it up now when the computer is still running and hope i get both | 12:28 |
| soreau | maffelu: IMHO, you should get your internet working as a priority | 12:28 |
| minimec | maffelu: I need the output of that lspci |grep VGA That should give oyu something like that ... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a2) | 12:28 |

| ubottu | SetiAmon: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:28 |

| minimec | maffelu: 'lspsi | grep VGA' | 12:29 |
| ecart | where I buy a card for 10 dollars? | 12:29 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: You never answered the question I asked you | 12:29 |
| soreau | ecart: On ebay? or anywhere on the internet probably | 12:29 |
| pav5088 | biopyte, depends on the software you're using. If you plan on running software distributed as binaries it's probably an idea. i386 is actually more efficient at using memory even on a system capable of amd64... so I'd go with i386 unless you plan on using more than 3-4gb of RAM | 12:29 |
| iflema | biopyte: i say go 64 make most use of cores.... if it aint mission critical, go..... | 12:29 |
| ecart | ;/ | 12:29 |
| SetiAmon | sorry back | 12:29 |
| minimec | maffelu: "lspci | grep VGA" Am i drunk??? | 12:30 |
| SetiAmon | i was rehooking up my cable to the tv | 12:30 |

| ecart | soreau ebay is fraud; / | 12:30 |
| SetiAmon | soreau I am sorry what did you ask me | 12:30 |
| soreau | ecart: Yes, you must be carefully when making any internet based purchase | 12:30 |
| biopyte | iflema, besides the memory issue, any advantages using 64? | 12:30 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, but you can still see a picture, yes? If so just control it using your TV | 12:31 |
| soreau | <soreau> SetiAmon: Have you checked nvidia-settings ? | 12:31 |
| iflema | biopyte: memory issue? | 12:31 |
| biopyte | pav5088, 2 GB is way enough for me. | 12:31 |
| soreau | pav5088: He is saying he plugs in the second screen and the first goes blank IIRC | 12:31 |
| SetiAmon | well I can't as it is way behind me in a angle.i wanted to output text and movies onto the tv.So i need/want more | 12:31 |
| SetiAmon | both | 12:31 |
| biopyte | iflema: adressing more than 3 GB | 12:31 |
| SetiAmon | soreau:I have checked the nvidia-settings but am unsure were i should check | 12:32 |
| maffelu_ | Allright, I have intarnet on the ubuntu lappy. Is BitchX still official linux irc client :P? | 12:32 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, so your screens aren't mirrored??? See if you can set up a mirroring mode BEFORE you connect your TV | 12:32 |
| iflema | biopyte: oh.. really. what the most intensive thing you do.... virtul machines?!?!?! | 12:32 |
| cor_r | biotype, if u dont have more then 2 gig of ram , 64 bit is not worth it | 12:32 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: It should be pretty obvious.. I think they have some sort of outputs or monitor section there | 12:32 |
| xxx_ | minimec isn | 12:32 |
| minimec | xxx_: Sorry? | 12:33 |
| thisdotpheonix | is there any uility in ubuntu so that i can teleport the site to access it offline? | 12:33 |
| biopyte | iflema, plain desktop stuff, alittle bit audio processing, once and a while. | 12:33 |
| Psycho | How can i transfer a setuid program across the network to another computer e.g via scp? | 12:33 |
| xxx_ | minimec isn't that command lspci | grep VGA instead of lspsi???? | 12:33 |
| SetiAmon | pav5088 i have never done this before sorry,were do I look to mirror it before hooking up my system?I am confused | 12:33 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, if you can't mirror your screens perhaps make your TV the primary monitor... this way you should still be able to see your menus etc... on your TV | 12:33 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: teleport what site? | 12:33 |
| minimec | xxx_: Yeah. but he got it right ;) | 12:33 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, in System/Preferences there should be display settings | 12:33 |
| thisdotpheonix | soreau, any site from internet | 12:33 |
| iflema | biopyte: wait awhile.... lucid maybe | 12:33 |
| chipgeri1 | python2.4-dbus how to install this? its not there in synoptic | 12:34 |
| SetiAmon | brb going to hook up seperate cable | 12:34 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: That's a good question. If you find the answer, let me know :) | 12:34 |
| biopyte | pav5088, iflema, obviuosly, 32 or 64 ist not a very important question for the desktop user, right? | 12:34 |
| thisdotpheonix | soreau, ok | 12:34 |
| iflema | biopyte: more and more apps are created/ported for multithreading | 12:34 |
| thisdotpheonix | does any one know the answer to my question | 12:34 |
| thisdotpheonix | ? | 12:34 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: I know you can save individual web pages, but as for the entire site, I would think not | 12:34 |
| cor_r | biotype, it is, but actually u didnt mean amd 64 ... | 12:35 |
| pav5088 | biopyte, not really... UNLESS binary compatibility is a big thing. Some software may still only be distributed as i386 binaries... but if you plan on using all open source software it doesn't matter. | 12:35 |
| llutz | thisdotpheonix: wget | 12:35 |
| bakarat | how to set a primary display with xrandr? i got dual screen working find using the "nv" driver, but the taskbar etc is on the wrong screen | 12:35 |
| thisdotpheonix | soreau, it is possible in windows, there is this sofware called teleport | 12:35 |
| biopyte | iflema, thats right, actually i stepped on this question, because the cinelerra video software only exists as 64-ubuntu-binary. | 12:35 |
| thisdotpheonix | llutz, but will it save the entire site in my hard disk | 12:36 |
| llutz | thisdotpheonix: if the site allows, yes | 12:36 |
| Psycho | how can i copy a file to another computer over the network preserving setuid? | 12:36 |
| SetiAmon | ah | 12:36 |
| SetiAmon | found it finally | 12:36 |
| maffelu_ | hi there maffelinux | 12:36 |
| thisdotpheonix | llutz, thanks, will try it out | 12:36 |
| maffelinux | hi maffelu | 12:36 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: A quick google search shows GNU wget and KWebGet might be alternatives | 12:36 |
| jellow | Psycho: though samba or ssh? | 12:37 |
| iflema | soreau: man wget | 12:37 |
| SetiAmon | pav5088 and soreau should i pick "twinview" or should i pick seperate x_screens. which one is a complete minitor output | 12:37 |
| llutz | Psycho: you cannot unless you're root | 12:37 |
| maffelinux | minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/350783/ | 12:37 |
| Psycho | llutz: local or remote root? | 12:37 |
| llutz | Psycho: remote | 12:38 |
| biopyte | pav5088, i try to stay with ubuntu packages only, i just wondered if 64 has any significant (>10%) performance advantages, but this seems not to be the case. | 12:38 |
| soreau | SetiAmon: Most likely you would want twinview, if you want to drag windows between the screens | 12:38 |
| Psycho | llutz: so i would have to transfer and re-setuid it? | 12:38 |
| llutz | Psycho: yep | 12:38 |
| pav5088 | SetiAmon, no idea... perhaps google. :} | 12:38 |
| pawel_121_ | biopyte in some computation performance advantage is even much bigger | 12:38 |
| Psycho | llutz: is setuid tracked by the fs/os or the file itself? | 12:38 |
| xxx_ | minimec there is the file | 12:38 |
| llutz | Psycho: fs | 12:39 |
| cor_r | actually it does | 12:39 |
| thisdotpheonix | soreau, thanks for the info, may be i should enhance my google search | 12:39 |
| SetiAmon | i don't want to drag stuff between screens. the other minotor is behind me.I want a EXACT same output | 12:39 |
| Psycho | llutz: is there anyway to turn off auto-nosetuid in ubuntu when it mounts a drive? | 12:39 |
| thisdotpheonix | soreau, i mean i have to punch in correct key words | 12:39 |
| minimec | maffelu: Your card is known giving problems. If you search the net using the lspci | gerp VGA output... You will unfotunately see tht. | 12:39 |
| thisdotpheonix | thanks guys | 12:39 |
| pav5088 | biopyte, I've been told there's actually a penalty with some operations on 64bit... | 12:39 |
| llutz | Psycho: with changing udev-rules i think | 12:40 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: I just did 'teleport linux' ;) | 12:40 |
| soreau | thisdotpheonix: and clicked on the first link | 12:40 |
| llutz | Psycho: but anyways, you always need to be root to do | 12:40 |
| Psycho | yeah | 12:40 |
| pawel_121_ | pav5088 what penalty? | 12:40 |
| Psycho | llutz: well i would be root, but it would slow me down a bit :( | 12:40 |
| biopyte | pawel_121_, ok, i stay with i386 unless some very convincing advantages coming up. | 12:40 |

| pawel_121_ | biopyte for desktop it doesn't matter too much :) | 12:41 |
| cor_r | 64 bit is faster, but not interesting for ur setup of hardware | 12:41 |
| iflema | biopyte: april... when lucid hits re-format yeah. | 12:41 |
| biopyte | pawel_121_, i think so, i'd better buy a faster hdd | 12:41 |
| llutz | pshr_: then just remount -o suid | 12:41 |
| cor_r | and u probably menat x64 and not amd 64 | 12:41 |
| pawel_121_ | biopyte yes, this makes a lot of difference | 12:41 |

| biopyte | iflema, what do you mean with "lucid"? | 12:42 |
| cor_r | biotype the new linux ubuntu | 12:42 |
| cor_r | *version | 12:42 |
| iflema | biopyte: next release of ubnutu 10.04 lucid lynx | 12:42 |
| biopyte | cor_r, i see, kk -> ll | 12:42 |
| iflema | biopyte: its also an LTS version... long term service | 12:42 |
| maffelu_ | minimec, are there any options you can think of? | 12:42 |
| EsatYuce | I have one mp4 player which for car, i put it to my computer to load some mp3's. Then i reject it from my PC and put it another PC. At this time i cant see anything inside it. But when i click-right then properties, it sees it is full. How can I access the files? | 12:43 |
| ismettern | isent it long term support? | 12:43 |
| biopyte | iflema, i will definitly go for 10.04, but whats your point concerning 64 and lucid? | 12:43 |
| bgy | Hi | 12:43 |

| tim167_ | hello, i have a partition to which i can not write because i am not the owner, how do i change that ? | 12:45 |
| maffelu_ | minimec, that seems like it might work? | 12:45 |
| llutz | tim167_: what filesystem? | 12:45 |
| tim167_ | llutz: ext3 | 12:45 |
| llutz | tim167_: chown/chmod | 12:45 |
| bgy | i'm trying to run a program and i got : "error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" but the library are installed, the problem is that the program is a 32bit and i use ubuntu 64bits (karmic) i tried to use getlibs but i got another error saying the lib wasn't in my repositories | 12:45 |
| tim167_ | llutz: i tried chown, but that didn't work | 12:45 |
| llutz | tim167_: where is that partition mounted to? | 12:46 |
| hummesse | Hi. I am having problems with the adobe flash plugin for firefox on ubuntu carmic 64 bit. I can't press buttons in flash. youtube can show videos, but pressing buttons in flash does not work. Anybody know a solution for this? | 12:46 |
| tim167_ | llutz: it's a live usb key, i formatted the remaining space on it and want to use it as storage space... | 12:46 |
| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| iflema | hummesse: started 4 me three days ago | 12:46 |
| minimec | maffelu_: Yeah... Unfortunately I have no experience with SIS GPU, but that could be some kind of workaround, I agree. | 12:46 |
| tim167_ | llutz: i used gparted to forlat unalocated space to a ext3 partition, it's mounted to /dev/sdb3 | 12:46 |
| llutz | tim167_: mount it, sudo chown user:grp /mount/point | 12:46 |
| llutz | tim167_: /dev/sdb3 is the device, not the mountpoint | 12:47 |
| cor_r | riktking ucan use id3tool and rythmbox to sort the tags as far as i know, maybe there are more possibilities | 12:47 |
| riktking | thanks cor_r | 12:47 |
| tim167_ | llutz: user:grp, literally, or replace it by my user name ? | 12:47 |
| llutz | tim167_: replace | 12:47 |

| tim167_ | llutz: sorry it's /media/sdb3 | 12:48 |
| cor_r | hummesse, how did you install? | 12:48 |
| petsounds | is bazhang around? | 12:48 |
| hummesse | just the default package | 12:48 |
| hummesse | i guess it must have happened during some dist-upgrade at some point | 12:48 |
| cor_r | tried removing and reinstall via the software manager in ur applications tab? | 12:49 |
| tim167_ | llutz: i get "chown: changing ownership of `/media/sdb3': Operation not permitted", although i do it as su | 12:49 |
| cor_r | humemesse,tried removing and reinstall via the software manager in ur applications tab? | 12:49 |
| minimec | xxx_: Well... As you see, the card is not supported very well. | 12:50 |
| hummesse | no not really. | 12:50 |
| xxx_ | maffle this site says your graphics card will work in Ubuntu 7.04 read the following http://hardware4linux.info/component/24750/ | 12:50 |
| llutz | tim167_: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | grep sdb3" | 12:50 |
| hummesse | ill try that.. | 12:50 |
| tim167_ | llutz: /dev/sdb3 7199 14441 1970096 b W95 FAT32 | 12:50 |
| cor_r | try removing deps as well if possible | 12:50 |
| llutz | tim167_: either wrong partition or wrong partition-id | 12:50 |
| tim167_ | llutz: hmm apparently it's fat32... | 12:51 |
| grawity | tim167_: FAT32 does not support storing file owners :| If it's an internal disk, add it to fstab, the owner of all files can be specified there. | 12:51 |
| llutz | tim167_: to make it accessible for users, you have to use uid/gid/umask as mount-options | 12:51 |

| maffelu_ | so I ahve to install ubuntu 7.04? | 12:52 |
| bhaka | hi ppl!.. will installing linux-backports-modules break anything on my 9.10? having probs with iwlagn and they say it should be fixed in that module | 12:52 |
| tim167_ | grawity: is that a command i should enter ? | 12:53 |
| grawity | tim167_: no, that's a line you can put to fstab if you want to keep FAT32 | 12:53 |
| grawity | tim167_: except without the first / (typed accidentially) | 12:54 |
| minimec | maffelu_: No. That doesn't make sense. Downgrade to a distribution, that is not supported anymore, is no solution. And yes, you should have the same image quality with newer Ubuntu Versios in combination with your card. | 12:54 |
| grawity | tim167_: but really, NTFS or ext3 would be a lot better. | 12:54 |
| Guest81271 | Hi! I have problem with connecting to my win 7 pc. When i try to login in to it from ubuntu, it asks for password, workgroup and username.

But nothings happens when i click connect. I have the latest version of ubuntu, and they are connected trough a router. | 12:54 |
| xxx_ | maffelu its starting to look that way read the following post http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-488185.html | 12:54 |
| tim167_ | grawity: ok i can try that, just add that in the file fstab ? | 12:54 |
| cor_r | bhaka if u only use it for one package and not a whole ss upgrade it will be just fine | 12:54 |
| grawity | tim167_: yes, then remount /media/sdb3 | 12:54 |
| tim167_ | grawity: thanks, trying... | 12:54 |
| maffelu_ | wait, minimec and xxx_ , getting opposite solutions from you now :P | 12:54 |
| grawity | tim167_: and again, is it an internal disk? | 12:54 |
| jxjl | minimec: I tried to run the disk utility it shows that there are 2 bad sectors, but self test says that disk is OK, when I try to run broken kernel in recovery mode I only get error message ERROR: sil: only 3/4 metadata areas found on /dev/sda, electing ... and then mounting ...

| m666 | why does on a laptop ubuntu only boot on the first timre and then there is a failure to booting??? i cant understand what leads to that!!! | 12:55 |
| bhaka | cor_r: but its as one package in the package manager? i have to do apt-get install linux-backports-modules -- so does that mean i get alot of old drivers and stuff, including fixed iwlagn? | 12:55 |
| ghostknife | How can I use dpkg-buildpackage to build incrementally? | 12:55 |
| Shiba | I'm trying to rebuild my kernel (I needed a custom patch added) and I'm getting ABI errors | 12:56 |
| pezzi | hi | 12:56 |
| tim167_ | grawity: i is seen as 'Removable Volume' | 12:56 |
| ghostknife | So, instead of cleaning, it should build only the files whose timestamps are greater than the previously build object files | 12:56 |
| resjudicata | has anyone had success running the moinmoin wiki from the repositories? | 12:56 |
| minimec | maffelu_: In Linux, you normally don't have regression. Means, if a hardware is once supported, there is no reason to stop support, unless there is no longer a reason to support the hardware. | 12:56 |
| pezzi | im ona live ubuntu, trying to 'su', i don't know what password i must use; pressing enter doesn't allow me in! | 12:56 |
| akar1m|off | ubuntu-tr | 12:56 |
| cor_r | bhaka, u only do that package so it should be fine, as long as u dont install trillion of other deps etc.. | 12:56 |
| grawity | pezzi: Use 'sudo -i' | 12:56 |
| maffelu_ | minimec, allright | 12:56 |
| Shiba | hashes of existing symbols were changed, but that is expected, How can I override the binary checks and force package creation? | 12:56 |
| grawity | pezzi: The 'root' account is locked by default, so 'su' won't work. | 12:56 |
| maffelu_ | but from these pages there doesn't really seem to be a working ix | 12:56 |
| minimec | maffelu_: So newer distributions generally have same or better support of hardware. | 12:56 |
| musictoto | pezzi: ubuntu doesn't support the use of root, it's locked | 12:56 |
| musictoto | !root | pezzi | 12:57 |
| cor_r | pezzi, sudo -s is the equivalent of su | 12:57 |
| ubottu | pezzi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:57 |
| bhaka | cor_r: actualy i should ask: if i completely remove linux-backports-modules via Synaptics, will it revert everything back? I dont want to break 3 more things by fixing iwlagn | 12:57 |
| pezzi | ah i see thanks grawity musictoto | 12:57 |
| minimec | maffelu_: 2nd thing. 7.04 is not supported with updates anymore. Do you want to use a system that is no longer on the market? | 12:57 |

| minimec | maffelu_: You can probably optimize the output of your card, nut neither xxx_ nor me are experts in SIS GPU's. Try to search the net with the 'lspci | VGA' and maybe there is a SIS irc channel here. | 12:59 |

| sephy | tells me* | 13:15 |
| cor_r | xxx_, nah dont compare bsd and arch | 13:15 |
| cor_r | xxx_, more like gentoo and arch but even that would be a bad comparision | 13:16 |
| maffelu_ | wow, this is way above my head | 13:16 |
| xxx_ | maffelu yes ,but you need two computers one for the online manual to do a step by step install of directions or you would have to print out the manual page by page... | 13:17 |
| maffelu_ | well, converting that page you sent to me to ubuntu talk and all. I was hoping linux had gotten a bit more userfriendly since I last left it :P | 13:18 |
| cor_r | maffelu_, better dont try arch if u did not seriously worked with lin yet | 13:18 |
| Undertow | minimec, is there a graphic GUI wrapper for grub2? | 13:18 |

| maffelu_ | cor_r, I'm not planning to :P | 13:19 |
| kevdog | cor_r: There is always the Chakra project which installs arch with KDEmod for you graphically!!!! | 13:19 |

| minimec | Undertow: I don't think, that you have a grub2 problem. I rather guess you have a GPU problem. Don't know if you installed some restricted driver for nvidia. Did you? | 13:19 |
| cor_r | yeah chakra is nice, but in case of arch i would use kahel OS as newbie | 13:20 |
| Undertow | yeah, I installed that | 13:20 |

| fujimitsu | madPJKfan: so, this is what i can tell you, if you can boot into the system, open terminal and do update-grub | 14:01 |
| madPJKfan | is that all I need to do? | 14:01 |
| maffelinux | klown: what do you mean? | 14:01 |

| fujimitsu | that .cgf file is not to be edited | 14:02 |
| klown | maffelinux, what video card do you have? | 14:02 |

| Undertow | How do I tell what drivers my onboard video card is using? | 14:07 |
| Undertow | or modules rather | 14:07 |
| klown | maffelinux, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/119321-solved-amd-sempron-video-problems.html shows some information to get some support for your card | 14:07 |
| howdeep | llutz: will do, i'll try that first | 14:08 |
| klown | not sure how much it will help, not too good with onboard stuff. | 14:08 |
| maffelinux | yea, I know. should I try to implement it? | 14:08 |
| llutz | Undertow: "lspci -v" look for :Kernel-module in use | 14:08 |

| MenZa | I'm trying to setup ssh key authorisation on a remote system. I just want it to accept EITHER the ssh key, or a user/password. How do I do this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config? | 14:10 |
| erdei | haho | 14:10 |
| llutz | MenZa: just let passwordauthentication enabled, it will accept both then | 14:10 |
| MenZa | llutz: And what do I do to accept ssh keys? | 14:10 |
| MenZa | and tie them to specific accounts? | 14:11 |
| llutz | MenZa: it does by default too | 14:11 |
| MenZa | llutz: It doesn't appear to like my ssh key very much. It asks me to unlock it, but I just want it to verify that the private key is there. | 14:11 |

| klown | Homely_Girl, whats the issue with it? | 14:20 |
| maffelu_ | LOL! | 14:20 |
| maffelu_ | klown, it worked! | 14:20 |
| maffelu_ | This is so silly! | 14:21 |
| klown | lol, good. | 14:21 |
| maffelu_ | I bet it can only handle 2D, but that's allright | 14:21 |
| Homely_Girl | klown: It's got old installations 'n data on 'n is in 2 parts when I look at it....I jusst want it to be a 15gb data or /home drive! :) | 14:21 |

| nicolas | trix: is it possible to run a command instead of a screensaver when the time elapses? | 14:24 |
| klown | Homely_Girl, sorry, i cant help you with partition issues, i dont think ive ever partitioned a drive, always had it auto do it. | 14:24 |
| maffelu_ | trix, klown, I found it :P | 14:24 |
| klown | trix, hes got it paste bin'd if necessary | 14:24 |
| Homely_Girl | klown: thanks anyhoo. | 14:25 |
| neptune_ | trix: theres no such an option. I can change the font of the text i enter (say it's Kate) but not the font in the toolbars :( | 14:25 |
| trix | nicolas: Yes it's possible with a script, but I don't know how to do it | 14:25 |
| klown | maffelu_, hows it look now? | 14:25 |
| Undertow | Does my kernel need recompiled to not use my onboard video driver? Seems that disabling modules doesn't work to disable it | 14:25 |
| maffelu_ | klown, good, but it's only 2D I believ | 14:25 |
| maffelu_ | +e | 14:25 |
| nicolas | trix: does it involve recompiling something? | 14:25 |
| trix | naptune_: The font of an applications toolbars is not contained within the app itself, but within the Window Manager settings and / or QT settings. Those are the places to look | 14:26 |
| trix | nicolas: recompiling? not unless you are running Gentoo | 14:26 |
| neptune_ | trix: i just don't know where to look at | 14:26 |
| nicolas | trix: fine, thanks! | 14:26 |

| === _ is now known as viezerd | ||

| trix | neptune_: But I'm not for sure either | 14:27 |
| neptune_ | trix: to make my self clearer, i have already increased the font for my toolbars in my gnome applications, now i want to increase the font _only_ for KDE applications, otherwise the font in gnome apps will be too big | 14:27 |
| trix | klown: if you don't know then nevermind | 14:27 |
| trix | neptune: you can try kcontrolpanel (or whatever it's called) but you might have to install it first | 14:28 |

| sacarlson | dupondje: I'm not sure I saw all you asked but what we normaly do is umount a disk | 14:33 |

| Renfield | I've set /etc/default/rcS VERBOSE to yes, and I have also set /etc/default/bootlogd to Yes, but I can't find any output. | 14:43 |

| ubottu | Undertow: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 14:43 |

| klown | maffelu_, i did a few searches on google, cant find anything about 3d support for that card. | 14:46 |
| pat|nG | jussi01 i'm been there and they told me join #ubuntu | 14:46 |

| sacarlson | Undertow: no sorry typo couldn't | 14:47 |
| klown | maffelu_, that doesnt mean it doesnt exist, that just means my google search didnt find anything. | 14:47 |
| sacarlson | Undertow: I had similar problems when I was trying to disable ipv6 | 14:47 |
| Undertow | so you just renamed /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i950.ko to i950.ko.backup or something like that? | 14:47 |
| baton | I i'll hope too =) | 14:47 |

| baton | sorry I'm noob. how can i install that package? apt-get install? | 14:48 |
| sacarlson | Undertow: yes that won't kill you try it | 14:48 |
| Qu4R0w | baton, yah | 14:48 |

| sacarlson | alexlaban: you might want to turn on mem check on bios boot and see if you have a memory problem. that's what normaly caused lockup for me. but with it only hapening with Karmac maybe not | 14:54 |
| alexlaban | I've already tried switching memory and I don't get the problem under FreeBSD | 14:55 |
| sacarlson | alexlaban: the other problem that did cause lock up was my video driver, if you have a Nvidia propraitary driver | 14:57 |

| BlouBlou | TDJACR: No, ufw is firewall manager | 15:01 |

| eurythmia | ChogyDan, I thought that wine was just a wrapper ... it would wrap appropriate *nix/*nix lib calls in win32 calls. | 15:14 |

| toader | Gnea: I just installed avidemux, when i open the *.swf file, it complains "cannot open the file" | 15:17 |
| peturrR | NetworkManager is autostarted with your gnome session.. you can disable it | 15:17 |

| ChogyDan | eurythmia: I don't think what you are saying is that much different from "implementation", I'm sure the wine folks would love it if wine were a simple wrapper to linux function calls | 15:19 |

| schme | IdleOne: Well, yes. I am much aware of the fact that I can edit whatever. I am just curious as to what is recommended for Ubuntu in this case. | 15:23 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 15:23 |
| madPJKfan | it seems my swap partition is not being recognized | 15:23 |
| schme | jiohdi: Thank you (: | 15:23 |
| Gnea | toader: there are tutorials online that can help show you how, I believe some are on ubuntuforums.com, that would be out-of-scope for the channel help, just do a search for "convert swf to mp4 using ffmpeg avidemux" | 15:23 |
| madPJKfan | any ideas? fstab, maybe? | 15:23 |
| jiohdi | schme: no problem the answer may be a bit longer there though :) | 15:24 |
| ChogyDan | toader: I use avidemux, and it has some auto things to setup the transcoding whatever | 15:24 |
| alexrussell | madpjkfan: what's in your fstab? | 15:24 |
| sacarlson | madPJKfan: wrong format? | 15:24 |
| schme | jiohdi: How do you mean longer answer? | 15:24 |

| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 15:24 |
| ChogyDan | madPJKfan: try sudo swapon -a that should work if your fstab is ok | 15:25 |
| madPJKfan | alexrussell: fstab looks odd to me - it's been years since I have played with linux and everything is diff | 15:25 |
| sacarlson | madpjkfan: I'm not sure but it may be a partition setting | 15:25 |
| madPJKfan | ChogyDan: yeah - it's all bad | 15:25 |
| madPJKfan | what is with the UUID stuff in fstab? | 15:25 |
| madPJKfan | never seen all that before... | 15:26 |
| semisided1 | i just had to deal with those uuid's myself | 15:26 |
| alexrussell | madpjkfan: you should have a line in the fstab saying something like: UUID=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX none swap sw or something (at least that's what mine says) | 15:26 |
| semisided1 | there is a directory in /dev that lists them | 15:26 |
| ChogyDan | madPJKfan: its a different way of defining the /dev locations | 15:26 |
| madPJKfan | all my UUIDs are blank | 15:26 |
| madPJKfan | what the hell are they for? | 15:26 |
| madPJKfan | that's all new to me... | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | this is offtopic , but I need some some quick advice , with an unformatted USB stick . trying gparted to format to ntfs but there is no option because gparted doesn't recognize msdos , i reckon | 15:26 |
| alexrussell | i guess it's a way of referring to a partition | 15:27 |
| psycose | Using up-to-date Ubuntu Karmic (32b), i got 2 USB bus one using ohci_hcd and one other using ehci_hcd. How can i make that the webcam connect using the EHCI bus ? Thanks | 15:27 |

| dath | where can i find the icons of java? | 15:27 |
| sacarlson | madPJKfan: maybe paist.com your fdisk and fstab file so we can see what it might be | 15:27 |
| ChogyDan | BluesKaj: maybe you have to format the partition table? | 15:27 |
| aheron | hotpluged monitor are detected from udev or need to restart kdm?? | 15:27 |
| alexrussell | blueskaj: ntfs isn't msdos | 15:27 |

| sacarlson | madPJKfan: otherwise you will need to create or reuse an unused partition that is set to swap | 15:29 |

| D_K_2 | Homely_Girl: if so, hit space and scroll down till the end | 17:24 |

| sacarlson | jolaren1: you can send sms with skype and it has an api that you can send with ruby or python | 18:02 |

| ElTimo | guntbert: thanks a bunch, I think it's bonobo-activation-server that's hogging so much memory | 18:02 |
| Anthony | bean, anything I should look for? | 18:02 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; I can sync my phone via bluetooth and send sms'es that way? | 18:02 |

| matelko | Hi. Can anyone help me with dual boot XP - Linux? I found article: http://highlandsun.com/hyc/linuxboot.html Can I use it with only one HDD? | 18:03 |
| guntbert | ElTimo: you're welcome :-) I always use iotop, htop, ... instead of that gnome thing | 18:04 |
| sacarlson | jolaren1: but with skype you don't need any cell phone conection to send sms | 18:04 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; Sure but you need to buy credits | 18:04 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; I got it to work with the phone manager now, didn't manage to sync my adressbook thought. | 18:04 |
| sacarlson | jolaren1: so you have to pay to send sms with a phone too | 18:04 |
| ElTimo | guntbert: gnome's monitor has pretty much always been accurate for me though | 18:04 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; Not if you have an special payin plan for it. I send unlimited sms | 18:04 |
| ElTimo | KDE's was reporting the same thing too | 18:05 |
| shane_ | I have done a new install of 9.10 and it is still slow. Any ideas what to look for? | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | jolaren1: well that's cool and maybe you can recieve sms too? | 18:05 |
| sacarlson | jolaren1: with skype you can only send sms | 18:05 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; I'm testing now, sending sms went fine. Doesn't look like I can receive | 18:05 |
| ElTimo | guntbert: oh wait, I was looking at the wrong column. htop is reporting the exact same thing | 18:05 |
| Anthony | matelko: yes but you need to partition your hard drive | 18:06 |
| jolaren1 | sacarlson; I'll try a few more programs | 18:06 |

| matelko | Anthony, thank you. | 18:08 |
| Brandano | Hi people. I have upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic, and seem to be missing the Video thumbnailer. Is this normal? | 18:08 |
| x_link | Hi! | 18:08 |
| shane_ | rdd: what type of phone? | 18:08 |
| x_link | I need some help | 18:08 |
| Brandano | only a few media types are associated with the Totem thumbnailer | 18:08 |
| x_link | I want to install flashplayer in 64-bits, but I can't find any .deb-fil | 18:08 |
| rdd_ | shane: HTC Touch | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: i can give you the tar.gz | 18:09 |
| ElTimo | x_link: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:09 |
| x_link | ActionParsnip: I found a tar.gz, but I don't know how to install it | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: just extract the file nd put the .so file in your plugins folder | 18:09 |
| Milp | Hm does anyone know where internal server errors get logged to if they are not in the apache2 error.log? | 18:09 |
| x_link | ElTimo: Okey, I will do that now | 18:09 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Q: What is GL/glx.h? | 18:09 |
| ElTimo | x_link: that will get you Java and Microsoft TrueType fonts as well | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: chrome == /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/ | 18:10 |
| shane_ | rdd: should work. I have a BB, entirely different OS and it works | 18:10 |
| matelko | Anthony - It wont help me for my purpose, but thank you for helping me. | 18:10 |
| mister_roboto | Milp: are you sure it's not there but in one of the rollover backup error logs? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: firefox == ~/.mozilla/plugins (you will need to make the plugins folder) | 18:10 |
| Anthony | matelko what are you trying to do? | 18:10 |
| rdd_ | I've tried everything. Going in circles. | 18:10 |
| shane_ | rdd: have you redone the setup? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: theres a systemwide plugns folder but i dont know what it is | 18:11 |
| Milp | yes mister_roboto the error.log stays empty | 18:11 |
| sacarlson | Milp: :/var/log/apache2 | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: for firefox | 18:11 |
| x_link | ActionParsnip: Okey, but I'm installing ubuntu-restricted-extras now | 18:11 |
| matelko | Anthony: I need to boot grub or lilo from windows xp. I mean from boot.ini file in XP. | 18:11 |
| Milp | scarlson it doesnt seem to be in any of these log files | 18:11 |
| rdd_ | redone the redo | 18:11 |
| Anthony | I think that you can do that by installing inside windows | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: that will give you the 32bit plugin running via a compatibility layer | 18:12 |
| x_link | ActionParsnip: aha okey | 18:12 |
| mister_roboto | Milp: but the web server is returning "internal server error" to the client? | 18:12 |
| x_link | Hmm...maybe I should install 32-bits again? | 18:12 |
| Anthony | matelko, let me check for you, 1 sec | 18:12 |
| Milp | yes mister_roboto | 18:12 |
| x_link | Is it a big difference between 32-bits and 64-bits? | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: you can install the restricted extras, then remove the meta package and the flash | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | x_link: one uses an extra step to run, the other doesnt but is alpha (runs great here) | 18:12 |
| mister_roboto | Milp: i suppose it's possible that the log hasn't flushed yet. | 18:12 |
| rdd_ | documentation says it supports up to the version b4 ver. 9.10 | 18:12 |

| x_link | The letters got bigger, then a guy helped me to fix that | 18:14 |
| mister_roboto | Milp: yes, for example,if you are writing to a buffered output stream and you don't explicitly flush in the code, the contents of your output buffer don't go to disk until the buffer is full | 18:14 |
| sacarlson | x_link: I now run 64bit but I found I had problems with some applications like skype that didn't support 64bit at the time (I think they do now) seems 64 bit bigist advantage is if you have more than 4gig of dram | 18:14 |

| Anthony | matelko - how about this? http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/152/how-to-install-ubuntu-inside-windows | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | azrael_: boot to liveCD and you can fsck from there | 18:14 |
| dav- | ActionParsnip: if i want to do "auto", dhcpc -i wlan0 ? | 18:14 |

| ActionParsnip | dav-: sudo dhclient wlan0 | 18:15 |
| mister_roboto | Milp: have you caused the error many times already? what about /var/log/messages? any clues there? | 18:15 |
| x_link | Google changed the size of the letters a while ago if you remeber | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | fcuk112: gedit maybe? | 18:15 |
| fcuk112 | lol | 18:15 |

| sacarlson | dragondon: with sshd you can already drag and drop with nautilus, I'm not sure how it compares with performance with your vsftp | 18:20 |

| lstarnes | azrael_: it is the FileSystem ChecK utility | 19:01 |
| bean | !fsck | azrael_ | 19:01 |
| ubottu | azrael_: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 19:01 |

| wrapster | iceroot: ooffice <after tab > exists... | 19:03 |
| bean | azrael_: you can safely ignore that, if it didnt say it in 9.04 it did that for me as well | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Ricket: ive not ran the daemon like that, you will need to edit the conf file (wherever it is) to enable the web interface. let me see if i can dig up a guide | 19:03 |

| Ghoul | Hello, I have a UNR 9.10 karmic on a 1005HA EeePc; the microphone doesn't work with skype. So far from google recommendations I've installed the latest linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic. This got the sound recorder working and I can record sound now as opposed to earlier, however I still can't use skype for conversations. From further reading around the net the next recommendation is to select from Skype Intel as an input device, and pulse | 19:27 |

| mezquitale | MrWizeGuy1983, you dont recover grub2, there is no need, you just simply reinstall grub2 and grub2 should be able to figure out where your operating systems are at although grub2 might require a little tweaking sometimes | 19:40 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | mezquitale, i'm not too familiar with grub2, i did an apt-get install grub within the livecd will that do it? | 19:41 |

| prime_heretic | shooree: guess you can fix it, it just looks like files with datestamp '2009-12-06' | 19:53 |
| mezquitale | pm, some old thinkpads have an issue, they take forever to boot up with the wireless card, I suggest you use the forums for this one | 19:53 |
| sacarlson | ariftux: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=10 | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | troy43: then you will need to instll dapper yourself and compile the app. You may have issues as the newer libs needed by the newer code may also need compiling so it gets a bit messy | 19:53 |
| gigglefight | here's another inquiry: with virtualbox, how can you make the window larger. it seems very small to me. | 19:54 |
| shooree | prime_heretic, I literally merged/have overwritten the newly installed /etc/ with my old one | 19:54 |
| troy43 | ActionParsnip: I think I'll have to struggle with commandline and package compile again, it's a shame the ppa buildroots dont do this automatically.. | 19:54 |

| shooree | prime_heretic, I used a package list I made | 19:55 |

| shooree | prime_heretic, right then. thanks for your help. Do you have any ideas on how best to try and utilize my saved /etc/ folder, without screwing things up next time? | 19:58 |
| prime_heretic | shooree: why do you want to retain your /etc folder? | 19:59 |
| mezquitale | marco, why do you want to know this information though? in 9.10 everytying is straight forward, what you need to know is the index in aplay -l, the sound card with 0 is the default, if you want to change the default card use "sound" applet in "preferences" | 19:59 |

| sacarlson | milhous: I played a bit with booting with pxe network boot. I never tried to install but I guess you could | 20:16 |
| jiohdi | milhous, if it has xp or vista you can use wubi | 20:16 |
| jiohdi | milhous: the main flaw I have found in wubi is that after an update it sometimes refuses to start saying something like kernel panic or some such | 20:18 |
| mikeymop | What's the easiest way for a clueless person such as myself to add a new hard drive and use encryption? | 20:19 |
| milhous | interesting. | 20:19 |
| milhous | not sure what that is, but i'll look that up right now | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeymop: install the drive and get it detected in BIOS, you can then run: gksudo gparted and you can configure the partition as you wish | 20:20 |
| jiohdi | ActionParsnip: what is the difference between gksudo sudo and sudo -s? | 20:20 |
| tritium | jiohdi: gksudo is for gui applications, sudo is for command line applications, and sudo -s (sudo -i as well) are for root shells. | 20:21 |
| prime_heretic | Does anyone know if Ubuntu's keyserver is ok with RSA keys or does it have to be DSA? | 20:21 |
| mikeymop | ActionParsnipP: gparted isn't making the encryption thing easy. Is there a manual that I should be reading? | 20:22 |

| ActionParsnip | jiohdi: gksudo is the correct way to launch x based apps with elevated access, sudo is ONLY for command line apps, sudo -s gives a root-like terminal with elevated priveledges using the user whom launched the sudo's profile | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeymop: thats all I know, gparted can set it up | 20:22 |
| jiohdi | ActionParsnip: thanks | 20:22 |
| PatrickD` | mikeymop, what kind of encryption? | 20:23 |
| tritium | jiohdi: and you'll want to use sudo -i in favor of sudo -s. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | jiohdi: if you run graphical apps (like gedit) with sudo then you can garbage ownerships of files | 20:24 |
| sacarlson | mikeymop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto | 20:24 |
| PatrickD` | mikeymop, you may have to install cryptsetup first | 20:24 |

| Corruption | because vmware requires a vmwx and not the iso | 20:58 |
| raven_ | mka sry it was my fault i did not understand | 20:58 |
| blakkheim | Corruption: install virtualbox. get an ubuntu iso. put the two together. | 20:58 |
| losha | Corruption: my vmware lets you configure the cdrom to read from an iso. That's how I boot into ubuntu installer.... | 20:58 |
| Corruption | blakkheim: cheers, just vmware doesnt have that feature lol | 20:58 |

| mezquitale | Dravenm4, can you ask the real question, all in one line | 21:05 |

| Dravenm4 | LOL my first venture into linux was pointed to UBUNTU a lil lost | 21:09 |

| losha | Diverdude: crossover office is a version of wine specially crafted for running msoft office. I believe it costs money though.... | 21:11 |
| trism | pm: you can configure it through /etc/network/interfaces (although it will still need some configuration for wpa_supplicant in there) | 21:11 |
| tritium | Diverdude: are you running the latest release of Ubuntu? Recent versions of OpenOffice handle even the most complex MS Office documents almost always perfectly. | 21:11 |
| oCean_ | eltume: then try "cd ~/Desktop" ; that should bring you into the Desktop directory | 21:11 |
| Diverdude | tritium, i am runnning 9.10 i guess that is the latest ubuntu right? | 21:11 |
| tritium | Diverdude: yes. | 21:12 |
| oCean_ | eltume: once there, then do "ls -al" to list all files there. You should see your downloaded ISO file | 21:12 |

| Diverdude | tritium, ok....it does not seem to be able to handle these documents very well unfortunately...and also others which i have tried | 21:12 |
| tritium | Diverdude: quite surprising | 21:12 |
| Corruption1 | yeah i got it installed now | 21:12 |
| losha | tritium: Unfortunately, I've never found that to be the case in reality. The only thing that works *perfectly* with complex MS Office documents is msoffice I'm afraid... | 21:12 |
| eltume | i see both of my downloaded iso | 21:12 |
| sacarlson | losha: Diverdude: if you really want office then run it in windows in linux under Virtualbox. then you know it will work and it's free | 21:13 |
| eltume | so? | 21:13 |
| oCean_ | eltume: great. Now do "md5sum filename.iso" | 21:13 |
| Diverdude | sacarlson, aha, virtual box.....is that an alternative to wine? | 21:13 |
| tritium | Diverdude: is it a font issue, by chance? That is often remedied by installing msttcorefonts. | 21:13 |
| losha | sacarlson: free except for the cost of the windows license, that is.... | 21:13 |
| sacarlson | losha: Diverdude: asuming you have windows lic. already | 21:13 |
| guntbert | eltume: it will take some time | 21:13 |
| clrg | Diverdude: I've been using proprietary formats from Microsoft in combination with OpenOffice, and it seems to be working just fine. I don't see why it doesn't work for you. | 21:13 |
| Diverdude | sacarlson, i have | 21:13 |
| clrg | oCean_: Thx for explaining =) | 21:13 |
| oCean_ | eltume: or you could use tabcompletion: type "md5sum", then type the first characters of the filename and hit <tab> | 21:13 |
| eltume | do write the filename exactly as it is written or lowercase all | 21:14 |
| Diverdude | tritium, its formulas and graphics | 21:14 |
| tritium | losha: that used to be the case for me as well, but no longer. | 21:14 |
| eltume | the TAB works way better | 21:14 |
| oCean_ | eltume: exactly as it is in the "ls" output, or use tab :) | 21:14 |
| losha | tritium: that' | 21:14 |
| eltume | yes! It's working | 21:14 |

| VCoolio | Kamokow: right click the workspaces at make them movable | 21:15 |

| blinky | could someone please tell me how i install ati graphics driver onto an install of 9.10 from a livecd, when i boot from grub into the installed os all i get is a flashing cursor, from what i read its to do with the drivers. | 21:17 |
| b0w | i use it on wine well crossover pro | 21:17 |
| eltume | oCean, I got a small problem now. I trying to verify am iso inside a folder and I wrote the exact name it says no such file or dirctory | 21:18 |
| Keld | that gives an overview & rating for each version of word, its worth following the relevant link & checking for any comments, as some versions of office/wine seem to have problems | 21:18 |
| sn[a]ke | clrg, http://pastebin.com/f4e30c30e | 21:18 |
| Diverdude | Keld, but why should it be better or worse to use wine over virtualbox? Because virtualbox requires a license and wine does not? | 21:18 |
| VirusCollector | Well, anyone else want to help me? Running TiLP gives me an error: "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.2: undefined symbol: usb_debug" This TiLP is installed from the repos. | 21:18 |
| clrg | sn[a]ke: Thx, hold on a sec while I check it | 21:18 |
| losha | mka: search newegg for something that the reviewers say works well with ubuntu. I favor nvidia personally... | 21:18 |
| Keld | Diverdude, virtualbox will require a valid windows license | 21:18 |
| mka | thanks losha | 21:19 |
| Keld | as you install windows inside the 'virtualbox' (its like a virtual computer, but everything is stored in a file) | 21:19 |
| sacarlson | blinky: you mean it never boots where you can see a usable screen? | 21:19 |
| clrg | sn[a]ke: Your SD card was detected correctly. It's called "sdb". Try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" | 21:20 |
| sn[a]ke | so whats up with pastebin? I just heard of it yesterday | 21:20 |
| sn[a]ke | k thanks | 21:20 |
| guntbert | eltume: you must give it the complete path ie md5sum folder/myfile.iso | 21:20 |
| milhous | ? | 21:21 |
| milhous | sorry, disregard that | 21:21 |
| Diverdude | Keld, Does virtualbox take up a lot of space? | 21:21 |
| Dravenm4 | lshw tells me I have a IXP SB4x0 High Def audio controller from ATI technologies but in audio control it shows nothing | 21:21 |
| eltume | guntbert, thanks but I followed the previous example from oCean by cd into the folder in the desktop folder and doing it from there | 21:21 |
| Keld | Diverdude, I'm unsure of the size of the application, the size of the virtual machine you create is up to yourself, but obviously it needs to be big enough to hold windows & office. | 21:21 |
| clrg | Dravenm4: You're probably missing the driver for your audio device | 21:22 |
| guntbert | eltume: yes, but now you want a different file? | 21:22 |
| Dravenm4 | How do I find thisdriver? | 21:22 |
| Keld | Diverdude, you should be able to find VirtualBox under the Software Centre. | 21:22 |
| Dravenm4 | do i go to toshiba's website | 21:22 |
| GloomyJD | anybody know how to access my SD card? No "computer" option in file manager and i'm kind of weak on the subject | 21:22 |
| eltume | guntbert, I did what I said with the different file except I "cd" into the folder in the desktop folder of the different file. | 21:23 |
| sn[a]ke | clrg: Tis not werking :-( | 21:23 |
| VirusCollector | Help please, TiLP gives an error on "sudo tilp".... | 21:23 |
| sn[a]ke | no duh your collecting virusses | 21:23 |
| guntbert | eltume: sorry - there is some misunderstanding - what is you problem *now*? | 21:23 |
| VirusCollector | sn[a]ke: Cute. Real cute. | 21:24 |
| eltume | something is weird. The letters in the original md5 checksum are all CAPS but when I md5sum checked it the letter all matched but instead they are all lowercased | 21:24 |
| eltume | guntbert, refer above | 21:24 |
| sn[a]ke | clrg: my sd card wont mount | 21:24 |
| sn[a]ke | /dev/sdb1 | 21:24 |

| b0w | how can i know where my cam is located like /dev/??? | 21:25 |
| clrg | sn[a]ke: Try "sudo fdisk -l". This will show you all partitions. Take the first partition on the drive "sdb" and mount it with "mount /dev/xxx /mnt" | 21:25 |
| guntbert | eltume: you have to use the file name on you disk - so best you use <tab> completion | 21:25 |
| eltume | guntbert i did | 21:25 |
| soreau | sn[a]ke: I think he said sdb, not sdb1 | 21:25 |
| guntbert | eltume: and what happened? | 21:26 |
| losha | eltume: case isn't significant in this particular instance. Just compare them without regard to case.... | 21:26 |
| eltume | the person who gave me the file gave me the md5 checksum. Mines matched with his except the letters in mine are all lowercased | 21:26 |
| sn[a]ke | Try "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" | 21:26 |
| eltume | oh | 21:26 |
| b0w | hello! maybe someone can help on this, how can i know where my cam is located like /dev/??? | 21:26 |
| eltume | losha, fixed my problem | 21:26 |
| sn[a]ke | that is a quote | 21:26 |
| clrg | soreau: sdb is the device, sdb1,2,3,4 etc are the partitions on that device | 21:26 |
| Corruption1 | would you recomend | 21:26 |
| Corruption1 | ubuntu | 21:26 |
| Corruption1 | or kubuntu? | 21:26 |
| eltume | thank you guntbert and losha | 21:26 |

| guntbert | eltume: ah - now I understand too - ... | 21:27 |
| b0w | its the same operating system | 21:27 |
| sn[a]ke | its not working im just gonna restart. | 21:27 |

| sn[a]ke | you cant partition a camera | 21:27 |
| b0w | are you guys talking to me? | 21:27 |
| clrg | sn[a]ke: Not the camera, the storage device of the camera. | 21:27 |
| losha | Corruption1: either will work. xubuntu is a bit lighter on resources supposedly. But more people use ubuntu than anything else, so the available free support is arguably better for ubuntu.... | 21:27 |

| guntbert | pac1: open edit/preferences/networking in transmission - that port must be forwarded to you machine | 22:06 |

| ActionParsnip | rapha: i'd disable unneeded hardware like sound and other such stuff then use some boot options to remove more functionality. seems weird | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rapha: yes its based on ubuntu but isn't ubuntu, its mint | 22:16 |

| purpley | hey I need help reinstalling grub someone help pls | 22:46 |
| pac1 | when you run a command like svn, linux looks in each of these directories for a file named svn. | 22:46 |
| pac1 | if it finds one, it runs it. | 22:47 |
| CasperNick | I have launched some program, window is minimized. How I can give focus to program from console? | 22:47 |
| pac1 | since you have an svn in both /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin, the /ur/local/bin/svn gets run first. | 22:47 |
| tvaughn | telinit 1 to go into single user text mode? | 22:47 |

| mister_roboto | jimdandy: i found virtualbox extremely easy to use | 22:54 |

| CasperNick | rapha: download installator from official nvidia site | 22:55 |
| purpley | no I don't think so | 22:55 |
| redIago | you can have the start bar on the bottom and the nix bar on top | 22:55 |
| mister_roboto | jimdandy: you can set up port forwarding on it as well to go into your vm | 22:55 |
| jimdandy | Ok, I'll try virtualbox, thanks! | 22:55 |

| tubbybtch | Hello all...I have used Ubuntu for about 6 months...I just bought a new laptop (ASUS U50), and immediately installed Koala. On my old laptop, I had 9.10 installed with no major issues. However, I have lost most of the hardware dependent keystrokes (e.g. turn on/off touchpad, wi-fi, etc.) Any ideas? | 23:01 |
| Wavesonics | how can I upgrade to Grub2? | 23:02 |
| Wavesonics | 9.10 | 23:02 |
| nisstyre65 | tubbybtch; in the future you should use a live cd to make sure all of the hardware works | 23:02 |
| lstarnes | !grub2 | Wavesonics | 23:02 |

| Wavesonics | userone, isn't it default for new 9.10 installs? | 23:03 |
| nisstyre65 | !live cd | tubbybtch | 23:03 |

| kerdal | Sucrot I did the package and it does not work 6th gen IPOD. | 23:06 |
| jcc1 | courpse, depends on the program, usually you use the -display option of the program and add the ampersand at the end of the command line | 23:06 |

Would Cat6A work with a 1 gigabit adapter? Are the cables backwards compatible or should I just get the Cat6? | 23:11 |

| dkulchenko | blakkheim: are there any logs i can read that could give me a clue? | 23:15 |
| pac1 | Purpley1, so you're using the vga part of the dvi connection. | 23:16 |
| pac1 | Didn't know you could do that or I'd have gotten a more modern card. | 23:16 |
| mezquitale | dkulchenko, random reboot sounds like a hardware issue, i would check to make sure the fan is working on the nebook and to make sure your netbook is not overheating, also look at the logs to see if there is anything interesting, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages | 23:16 |

| P1ease | ctmjr: thanks | 23:23 |
| Purpley1 | Danielle, pastebin.com | 23:23 |
| Danielle | no. | 23:23 |
| blakkheim | Danielle: then how did you get ubuntu | 23:23 |
| Danielle | it came on my laptop | 23:23 |
| nisstyre65 | uh oh | 23:24 |
| Purpley1 | Danielle, Did you get a disc with your laptop? | 23:24 |
| jcc1 | Danielle: If you have a cdrom drive, just stick in the disk and boot and answer the questions... this channel is for Ubuntu, though, not for Windows install problems | 23:24 |
| Danielle | no im on a dell mini | 23:24 |
| skkynnet | hey how do i do remote help from my computer | 23:24 |
| dkulchenko | Purpley1: "perl -e 'while(1){die "overheating with temp $1" if (`sensors` =~ m/temp1:\s+\+(\d+)C) > 60)}'" yes, i know how :P | 23:24 |
| mezquitale | Danielle, here is what you need to do. You will have to use the forum to get specific answers and come back to the channel if you need help. First create a live CD that has gparted, create a partition for windows, then create a partition for ubuntu, then install windows then ubuntu | 23:24 |
| skkynnet | i knwo there is the terminal client | 23:24 |
| Danielle | and i havent tried to install windows yet. i just need to find out how to uninstal ubuntu | 23:24 |
| fabio | Danielle: please don't | 23:25 |
| blakkheim | skkynnet: openssh | 23:25 |
| trism | Danielle: you don't need to, windows will install over it | 23:25 |
| jcc1 | Danielle: what did the exact message say exactly? I can't believe you have no memeory with a new computer from Dell! | 23:25 |
| mezquitale | Danielle, youre going to boot up to a live CD with gparted, using gparted youre going to format your hard drive | 23:25 |
| skkynnet | whats dat? | 23:25 |
| skkynnet | where is it | 23:25 |
| Danielle | but it says my memory is full | 23:25 |
| blakkheim | skkynnet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSH | 23:25 |
| * Jkessler facepalms | 23:25 | |
| Danielle | mezquitale: i dont know what any of that means | 23:25 |
| jcc1 | Danielle: What memory, the hard drive is not "memory" it is sorage | 23:26 |
| Purpley1 | dkulchenko, Nice I don't know perl but you can use pipelines instead it is a lot simpler. its something like "monitor command" >> monitoringtemp.txt | 23:26 |
| ctmjr | Danielle: you just said you do not want to uninstall ubuntu now you want too | 23:26 |
| thiebaude | to install windows 7 your drive will have to have ntfs already on it | 23:26 |
| jcc1 | sorage = storage | 23:26 |
| mezquitale | Danielle, please use the forums otherwise I'm going to think youre just trolling | 23:26 |
| jerryluc | is the poulsbo driver support natively on the latest ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| Wavesonics | Can I upgrade my filesystem while it is mounted? | 23:26 |
| Danielle | what is trolling? and what is a forum? | 23:26 |
| mezquitale | Danielle, #windows | 23:26 |
| blakkheim | lol | 23:26 |
| dkulchenko | Purpley1: didn't know about monitor. i'll check it out, thanks. | 23:26 |

| kerdal | oh i just found out how to sync my Ipod. | 23:26 |
| blakkheim | gave it away too easy | 23:27 |
| Purpley1 | no no no dkulchenko that isn't a valid command, It is a example | 23:27 |
| thiebaude | haha blakkheim | 23:27 |
| wizard__ | hi peeps is there a simple way yet to play multiple sounds at the same time? | 23:27 |
| mka | Wavesonics, what do you mean by upgrading a filesystem? | 23:27 |
| Purpley1 | I SMELL A TROLL | 23:27 |
| Wavesonics | mka, I'm upgrading my ext3 to ext4 | 23:27 |
| fabio | there is no way to get my ipod shuffle working on ubuntu... | 23:27 |
| thiebaude | that was too obivious | 23:27 |
| Purpley1 | fabio, Hipo | 23:27 |
| Danielle | dude im a 17 year old girl with no idea about this software. it came with this computer. i just need help and this is the only place i know how to get it | 23:27 |
| fabio | i can mount it, i can read musin on it... | 23:27 |
| jcc1 | Danielle: Obviously you system has plenty of memory if you are using it now to access this irc channel, you really need a friend close by to help you, not IRC | 23:27 |
| mezquitale | wizard__, using pulse audio you should be able to do it? karmic has pulseaudio and it kinda of works | 23:27 |
| dkulchenko | Purpley1: i'll just use 'watch sensors > /tmp/temps' | 23:27 |
| fabio | hipo and gtkpod can't do the job | 23:28 |
| Wavesonics | mka, I already ran: | 23:28 |
| Wavesonics | tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/md0, and now when running fsck -pf /dev/md0, i get the following: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause | 23:28 |
| Wavesonics | SEVERE filesystem damage. | 23:28 |
| FloodBot2 | Wavesonics: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:28 |
| Purpley1 | fabio, why? | 23:28 |
| fabio | my ipod keeps telling me: "please use itune to sync this ipod" | 23:28 |
| mka | Wavesonics, oh? | 23:28 |
| blakkheim | dkulchenko: it will be wiped next time you reboot though if it's in /tmp | 23:28 |
| Jkessler | how do people find these channels anyway? xchat doesn't default to freenode... | 23:28 |
| dkulchenko | Jkessler: yes it does | 23:28 |
| Jkessler | noobs, that is | 23:28 |
| fabio | so i used the itunes and everything went fine (sorry for my bad english) | 23:28 |
| Purpley1 | dkulchenko, Very well haha the example I said probably wouldnt work I haven't used > in forever | 23:28 |
| Jkessler | hrmm. | 23:28 |
| dkulchenko | blakkheim: okay, i'll use my home dir then | 23:28 |
| fabio | hipo and gtkpod are old stuff | 23:28 |
| mka | Wavesonics, to fsck a mounted partition is dangerous] | 23:29 |
| mezquitale | Danielle, if you want to remove ubuntu go to #windows, you bought windows 7 they will help you install it, once you have windows 7 and you want to try ubuntu again, come back here, I already told you how install windows7 and ubuntu, if you want the specific steps you have to use the forums or go to #windows | 23:29 |
| AllHailTheGeek | hm | 23:29 |
| Wavesonics | mka, damn, i don't have a live CD | 23:29 |
| Dunas | Hm. | 23:29 |
| Jkessler | mine defaults to irc.ubuntu.com .. is that a freenode server? i've always manually typed /server irc.freenode.net | 23:29 |
| fabio | there is nothing like itunes on linux... | 23:29 |
| dkulchenko | Jkessler: yes, irc.ubuntu.com is a freenode server | 23:29 |
| Jkessler | ah, ok. | 23:29 |
| dkulchenko | fabio: try amarok | 23:29 |
| blakkheim | fabio: so what do you want us to do? | 23:29 |
| mka | Wavesonics, to a "sudo touch /forcefsck" and then reboot, | 23:29 |
| Maxou | Hello | 23:29 |
| Maxou | I am looking for a solution | 23:30 |
| fabio | blakkheim: just asking or complaining | 23:30 |
| dkulchenko | !ask | Maxou | 23:30 |
| Maxou | I did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 | 23:30 |
| ubottu | Maxou: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:30 |
| fabio | really disappointed though | 23:30 |
| AllHailTheGeek | So. Apparently I don't have the ability to drag windows from one virtual screen to another on the bottom panel | 23:30 |
| blakkheim | fabio: be disappointed with apple for locking you in, not disappointed with linux | 23:30 |
| Wavesonics | mka, ok thanks! | 23:30 |
| Justcop | i'm having problems with my sound, when playing music in rhythmbox or songbird but not in movie player, the sound is very choppy | 23:30 |
| mka | Wavesonics, that will force your system to check your partitions, but alas, I am not sure about your specialist options to e2fsck | 23:30 |
| AllHailTheGeek | anyone have an idea? | 23:30 |
| jcc1 | to use an ipod with linux I would go to Google, for example, http://people.csail.mit.edu/adonovan/hacks/ipod.html | 23:31 |
| Maxou | I dif the upgrade which removed my nvidia video drivers | 23:31 |
| Justcop | my video is not great either but not botherting me as much | 23:31 |
| Maxou | and now I can not start anymore my laptop | 23:31 |
| Maxou | the screen is flashing | 23:31 |
| fabio | jcc1: i can't upload music on it.. this is why | 23:31 |
| Wavesonics | mka, the options are -f to force which is good, and -p to auto repair, so at the very least i'll be asked to do the repairs it hink right? | 23:31 |
| Jkessler | you could use windows in a VM for itunes.. that's what i have to do with quickbooks at work | 23:31 |
| dkulchenko | Maxou: please ask your quesiton on one line. we can't keep track when you keep pressing enter to separate sentences. | 23:31 |
| fabio | everything seems good but that damn thing tells me i need to use itunes | 23:31 |
| mka | Wavesonics, FYI, "sudo touch /fastboot" will make your system to bypass routine fsck checks of filesystems | 23:31 |
| jcc1 | fabio: Check Google, there are a ton of pages that explain how to use an ipod with Linux | 23:32 |
| fabio | so the ipod shuffle 3rd generation is not supoprted | 23:32 |
| fabio | i'm not a newbie or a script kiddie | 23:32 |
| Wavesonics | mka ah ok cool, thanks | 23:32 |
| Wavesonics | well hhmm | 23:32 |
| ctmjr | fabio: irrc rythmbox box plays nice with ipod's | 23:32 |
| fabio | just there are several ipod, not one ipod | 23:32 |
| Wavesonics | mka, wish i had a damn live CD, hey, would a much older live CD work? like 7.04? | 23:32 |
| fabio | i need to upload music, i can play it yes. | 23:32 |
| jcc1 | fabio: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/walter/geek/ipodshuffle-linux.html | 23:33 |
| Wavesonics | mka, probably not... i bet this has special ext4 stuff... :/ | 23:33 |
| mka | Wavesonics, yes it can | 23:33 |
| fabio | jcc1: i will have a look | 23:33 |
| Wavesonics | u think? | 23:33 |
| AllHailTheGeek | So. Apparently I don't have the ability to drag windows from one virtual screen to another on the bottom panel. Can anyone help me with this? | 23:33 |
| Maxou | I did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 which removed my nvidia video drivers and now I can not start anymore my laptop once the grub is tarted my screen is flashing with no end. Do you have any solution? | 23:33 |
| mka | Wavesonics, no I dont think so, sorry | 23:33 |
| Wavesonics | np | 23:34 |

| thiebaude | culinor, ubuntu pocket guide is good | 23:37 |

| thiebaude | Maxou, no, since i couldn't boot, i had no choice | 23:38 |

| AllHailTheGeek | interesting | 23:39 |
| Maxou | not my case :( | 23:39 |
| jason__ | :/ | 23:39 |
| AllHailTheGeek | I disabled visual effects, and it works now. | 23:39 |
| dkulchenko | Maxou: back up /home to a separate drive, then reinstall and restore it | 23:39 |
| jcc1 | jason__: I think there is an "unlock" button at the bottom of the window, you have click that and use your passwd first | 23:40 |
| Maxou | it is possible to perform a backup from hd to usb key using live CD? | 23:40 |
| dkulchenko | Maxou: yes, it's quite easy | 23:40 |
| jcc1 | jason__: standard users cannot load and unload modules, you have to be root, i.e.sudo | 23:40 |
| ctmjr | charnel: are you using gnome? | 23:41 |

| daedra | jcc1: I installed cups 1.4 | 23:54 |
| jcc1 | daedra: from the repository? | 23:54 |

| daedra | jcc1: yea | 23:55 |
| infomomo | Hey guys, is there a way to restore all the icons from the desktop | 23:55 |

| daedra | woops | 23:55 |
| jcc1 | daedra: whoops :-) | 23:55 |
| benji123 | dkulchenko, that works | 23:55 |
| dkulchenko | benji123: well, then, you're set. that was just a bad profile then. | 23:56 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, does the working directory need to be /home/tobiasz/games/Frets on Fire-1.3.110/src/? | 23:56 |
| kpomeroy | I'm having difficulties with the add/remove applications in Karmic, I click on it and nothing happens. Anyone run into this issue? | 23:56 |
| mhall119 | kpomeroy, is this a new install? | 23:56 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 yep there is the fretsonfire.py file which runs the game | 23:56 |
| fumbles | is there any way to have smoother .mkv playback with vlc? it's a little laggy | 23:56 |
| kpomeroy | yes | 23:57 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: use mplayer | 23:57 |
| fumbles | I'll give it a shot | 23:57 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, because a symlink or .desktop file will be running with ~/Desktop as the working directory | 23:57 |

| mkanyicy | kpomeroy, does synaptic work? | 23:59 |
| quizme | zoobox the geometry is not an option in the profile preferences | 23:59 |
| reefer | anyone> | 23:59 |

| charnel | hi I changed some settings from gconf-editor about the panel but when I restart the panel with sudo killall gnome-panel I cannot see the changes. Any one knows why ? | 23:59 |
| crackpot | if your user password is the same as the keyring password shouldn't it not prompt me when something is requesting access to the keyring. | 23:59 |
| jcc1 | refer: there isn't one | 23:59 |
| mkanyicy | reefer, you dont have a root pass by default | 23:59 |
