| crackpot | every time i load twhirl (a twitter client) it always asks me to enter my PW for the keyring | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| reefer | so what shall i do | 00:00 |
| mkanyicy | reefer, use sudo | 00:00 |
| jcc1 | reefer: sudo | 00:00 |
| dkulchenko | reefer: if you want to set one, do 'sudo passwd root' | 00:00 |
| blakkheim | reefer: sudo passwd | 00:00 |
| benji123 | dkulchenko, this is a "tail -fn 0 *" on all files in /var/log/gdm/ while the error occurs : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2755949a , do you see the line "xsplash: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0" ? | 00:00 |
| reefer | ty | 00:00 |
| Wavesonics | damn damn damn, burned the Ubuntu 9.10 desktop cd instead of the server, so it cant mount my RAID10 :( | 00:00 |
| === matt_ is now known as smackdaddyz | ||
| FactTech | reefer - It's better not to use the root account. | 00:00 |
| cba | I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address? | 00:00 |
| reefer | yes i know | 00:00 |
| jolaren | Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won | 00:00 |
| mkanyicy | reefer, I support what FactTech is suggesting | 00:00 |
| jolaren | t upgrade | 00:00 |
| cdsboy | Hey guys, i was wondering if i could get some help with my samba issue. I just freshly installed 9.10 on my file server and now streaming video via samba is having issues to both my windows 7 pc and my WD TV live. Are there anythings i can do to see what is happening? It isn't putting anything in the log files in /var/logs/samba | 00:01 |
| dkulchenko | benji123: yes, but that is irrelevant. that is a standard error when the X server is shutting down. your GNOME works now, right? | 00:01 |
| FactTech | reefer - The account you set up during installation will have admin rights -- you can do everything you need to do from that account using 'sudo'. | 00:01 |
| zoobox | quizme: yeah I just saw that... that's bad. it should've been there :-) but ok try let ALT-N start this command instead: gnome-terminal --geometry=120x36 | 00:01 |
| jolaren | Hello. I want to know what is recommended for a rather weak computer (ion asrock 330). 32bit or 64 bit operativesystem? I only have 2 gig ram and I won't upgrade. Do I really benefit ? | 00:01 |
| reefer | i agree guys | 00:01 |
| mhall119 | reefer, using sudo instead of enabling a root password has all the benefits and none of the security vulnerability | 00:01 |
| kwtm | Hi. When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right? What was that command? "apt-cache update" or something? | 00:01 |
| zoobox | quizme: if you want 120 chars by 36 lines | 00:01 |
| FactTech | reefer - Any other account can be enabled to do the same by making it an admin account. | 00:01 |
| blakkheim | jolaren: 32bit | 00:01 |
| jolaren | blakkheim; Why? REally? | 00:01 |
| reefer | ty guys | 00:01 |
| jcc1 | reefer: also, if you want a root shell, just sudo -i | 00:02 |
| jcc1 | reefer: or sudo su - | 00:02 |
| reefer | yall have been great help | 00:02 |
| blakkheim | jolaren: if you only have 2gb of ram why would you want 64bit | 00:02 |
| stalker | anyone here use kazehakase? | 00:02 |
| reefer | ill be back later | 00:02 |
| jolaren | blakkheim, that was my thoughts to. Thanks for elaborating | 00:02 |
| tecna2 | jolaren: you don't need anything special for 2gb ram. I'm using the normal karmic desktop with only 768mb | 00:02 |
| benji123 | dkulchenko, yes it works | 00:03 |
| mkanyicy | kwtm, sudo apt-get update | 00:03 |
| dkulchenko | benji123: okay. then you're fine. that was just a bad setting/corrupted profiel | 00:03 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 I don't quite get it | 00:03 |
| FactTech | Question: I've just set up a Logitech USB webcam on a laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), but the video only works when I'm logged in as an administrator, not as a normal user. Looked online for ideas, but the only one I saw was making sure the non-admin user was a member of group 'video', which it is. Any suggestions? | 00:03 |
| dkulchenko | benji123: i have to go. | 00:03 |
| benji123 | dkulchenko, thanks you very much | 00:03 |
| kwtm | mkanyicy: Really? I had the impression that apt-cache and apt-get used different indices, for some reason. Has that changed? If I use apt-get to update, then apt-cache will also update? | 00:03 |
| dkulchenko | benji123: no problem | 00:03 |
| Dravenm4 | hey guys been having problems with no sound for 2 days 'cat /proc/asound/pcm' does nothing and "alsamixer -c0" state no elements found | 00:04 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, every process has a concept of "current working directory" | 00:04 |
| mhall119 | just like when you're in the shell, you are always in a directory | 00:04 |
| mhall119 | so are your processes | 00:04 |
| FactTech | Dravenm4 - What kind of sound card are you using? | 00:04 |
| cba | I have a user in my server how can make this user connect only from a single Ip address? | 00:04 |
| mhall119 | usually the process's working directory is the directory it was launched from | 00:04 |
| mkanyicy | kwtm, oh? not sure, you may be right, I'ven't use apt-cache that much | 00:04 |
| Dravenm4 | ati IPX SB4x0 Highdef | 00:04 |
| mhall119 | not necessarly the directory the executable is in | 00:05 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 I get it but, I dunno how to make a shortcut to that game which would change the working directory | 00:05 |
| SetiAmon | how do i run dual outputs to monitors | 00:05 |
| kwtm | Maybe FactTech or jcc1 can help us because they seem fairly familiar with Ubuntu. | 00:05 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, you can't do that in a shortcut (to my knowledge) | 00:05 |
| kpomeroy | Has anyone else had a problem with the add/remove applications with a fresh install of Karmic? | 00:05 |
| FactTech | Dravenm4 - What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 00:05 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, rather, you'll need a simple script that will cd into that directory, then run the python script | 00:05 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: repeat the question, I missed it | 00:05 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 I just want a launcher on my desktop | 00:05 |
| FactTech | kwtm - Missed it, too. | 00:05 |
| Dravenm4 | 9.10 | 00:05 |
| mhall119 | or have the python program change it's working directory when it's launched | 00:06 |
| kwtm | jcc1, FactTech: Hi. When I use "apt-cache search", I have to do some sort of index command before hand, right? What was that command? "apt-cache update" or something? | 00:06 |
| mkanyicy | kpomeroy, did you do apt-get update? | 00:06 |
| blakkheim | kwtm: aptitude update | 00:06 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: apt-get update | 00:06 |
| FactTech | kwtm - try 'apt-get update' | 00:06 |
| fumbles | hrm so mplayer really doesn't play the mkv file much better | 00:06 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 why does Ubuntu miss the shortcut feature? | 00:06 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: what resolution is it and what cpu do you have | 00:06 |
| kwtm | FactTech, jcc1: oky, so you are agreeing with mkanyicy that apt-cache and apt-get use the same index. In that case, that's funny, some packages aren't there. | 00:06 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, Ubuntu has .desktop files, which perform the same function, and also symlinks, that are more low-level | 00:06 |
| mkanyicy | tobiasz, excuse me? | 00:06 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 the like of windows shortcut which runs files in their working directories | 00:06 |
| fumbles | lulz it's a laptop | 00:07 |
| kpomeroy | yes | 00:07 |
| zoobox | I whould love to set CompizConfig's zoom-function let me zoom by holding the mouse at an edge of the screen and scroll the mousewheel (that is zoom withouth holding "Super" keyboard key and instead holding mouse at for exemple right screen edge)... how do I do? | 00:07 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: that didn't answer either of my questions "lulz" | 00:07 |
| FactTech | kwtm - I don't know the details, but I've never noticed them being out of sync. | 00:07 |
| FactTech | kwtm - What packages are missing? | 00:07 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, Ubuntu programs are supposed to do this for you | 00:07 |
| lingam1 | I'm having a problem turning a Linux game patch into an executable file. It's for Unreal Tournament, the GOTY edition. I've followed a few different tutorial I found online, but have'nt had any success. | 00:07 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: the packages themselves won't be there until you download them, just locations, versions, etc | 00:07 |
| kwtm | FactTech: pymedia. Is that part of Ubuntu or not? | 00:07 |
| FactTech | Dravenm4 - Can you see the card in the output of 'lspci'? | 00:08 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 frets on fire must be kinda retarded in that matter then | 00:08 |
| jolaren | Wubi.exe forces me to install ubuntu 64 bits but I want to use 32 bits as in the ISO how can I stop this? | 00:08 |
| kwtm | jcc1: Agreed that apt-cache won't download packages, but at least I should be able to locate a package name. | 00:08 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: Have you tried to use Synaptic Package Manager yet? | 00:08 |
| fumbles | blakkheim: Gateway Laptop- Dual 1.6GHz intel, once I remember the command for resolution I will tell you | 00:08 |
| FactTech | kwtm - Are you sure you have the correct package name? | 00:08 |
| blakkheim | jolaren: don't use wubi | 00:08 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, sounds like you have the source code, not an installable package, yes? | 00:08 |
| zoobox | the "screen edge" and "edge button" is greyed out in the CompizConfig setting for desktopszooms actions... can I un-disable them? | 00:08 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: i mean the resolution of the mkv file | 00:08 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 there is a source code, but I never ever compiled a thing so I dunno what to do, and instruction only says how to compile in windows and mac | 00:09 |
| Dravenm4 | SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 SMBus Controller | 00:09 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: that will update for you and give you various search options from a GUI | 00:09 |
| kwtm | jcc1: I'll try. There are other packages that seem to be missing. Anyway, for some reason Synaptic (and Compiz) have teensy font sizes (size 7) that I can't read. | 00:09 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, is there a setup.py? | 00:09 |
| fumbles | blakkheim: 1920x816 | 00:09 |
| FactTech | Dravenm4 - OK, what's the exact error you get when you try to run alsamixer? | 00:09 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 yep, I ran it and nothing happened | 00:09 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: I don't use Compiz so I cannot help you there | 00:09 |
| kwtm | jcc1: (separate issue now --I have *lots* of problems with Ubuntu) I can't read the fonts so I have to use the command-line instead. | 00:09 |
| mhall119 | try python setup.py build | 00:09 |
| mhall119 | followed by: sudo python setup.py install | 00:10 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: that's quite an odd video resolution, but i think your cpu isn't good enough to handle it. your best bet is to compile the multithreaded version of mplayer and try that. | 00:10 |
| Dravenm4 | No mixer elems found | 00:10 |
| fumbles | ah ok | 00:10 |
| fumbles | blakkheim: thank you | 00:10 |
| blakkheim | fumbles: vlc and the mplayer in ubuntu's repository only use 1 thread | 00:10 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: Compiz has always been a pain the few times I tried it, so I always dumped it, I'm not big on eye candy anyway :-) | 00:10 |
| fumbles | XMonad ftw | 00:10 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, does it work when you run it from the /src/ directory? | 00:11 |
| kwtm | jcc1: I need it for the magnifier function, so I can read the screen properly. | 00:11 |
| zoobox | or can I sett the hotkeys (or rather "hot-mouse-cliks") for compiz stuff in some other way than CompizConfig? | 00:11 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 it does run perfectly | 00:11 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 I just want a desktop shortcut | 00:11 |
| mhall119 | okay, then one way or the other we can get this working | 00:11 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: If it were me, I would just dump Compiz | 00:11 |
| fumbles | tobiasz: right click create launcher | 00:11 |
| mkanyicy | tobiasz, what is this command? | 00:11 |
| dropedrobarri | hi, after rebooting with my ubuntu 9.10, a bunch of applets disappeared. | 00:11 |
| jcc1 | kwtm: just eye candy anyway | 00:12 |
| zoobox | jcc1: there is one good thing with Compiz though... zoom | 00:12 |
| fumbles | enter custom terminal command and voila shortcut | 00:12 |
| mkanyicy | tobiasz, what is this command that you want it's shortcut? | 00:12 |
| dropedrobarri | including net applet volume applet and others | 00:12 |
| dropedrobarri | is there a way to restore them? | 00:12 |
| zoobox | if I just could use zoom without having to use keyboard | 00:12 |
| jcc1 | zoobox: I have nothing against Compiz, just more than I find usefull, that's all | 00:12 |
| FactTech | Dravenm4 - Have you looked at some of the results at http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=alsamixer+no+mixer+elems+found&aq=0&aqi=g1&oq=alsamixer+no+mixer+e&fp=b36c7832dbb01be6 | 00:12 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, rightclick the panel and then "add to panel" | 00:13 |
| dropedrobarri | mkanyicy, they are not there. Thats why i am asking here... | 00:13 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 http://paste.ubuntu.com/351004/ | 00:13 |
| mhall119 | easiest way is to create a file at /usr/bin/fretsonfire with the content "cd /home/whereeveritis/src/; python whatever.py" | 00:13 |
| Glass0wl | this new version of ubuntu seems to work much faster on my laptop, but switching to the gui takes absolutely no time which makes me think it's constantly running in the background, didn't it put the gui to sleep when switching to tty1-6 in the past? | 00:13 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, they are not where? | 00:13 |
| SoftwareExplorer | I have a problem with ssh: whenever I try to connect to an ip address that I connected to before, it wont let me connect because the computer has a different key. I know it has a different key, because it's different installs of ubuntu on the same computer. In jaunty I could connect anyway, after it told me and asked. Is there a better way to fix this than symlinking ~/.ssh/known_hosts to /dev/null? | 00:14 |
| dropedrobarri | mkanyicy, the are not in the "add to panel" menu.. | 00:14 |
| legend2440 | dropedrobarri: add Notification Area | 00:14 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, there is Volume Control there | 00:14 |
| blakkheim | SoftwareExplorer: ...remove known_hosts? | 00:14 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, and there is Network Monitor as well | 00:15 |
| bean | SoftwareExplorer: yes, you can remove the offending line from known_hosts | 00:15 |
| dropedrobarri | mkanyicy, it WAS there. I booted today and it wasnt there | 00:15 |
| mhall119 | tobiasz, once you have that script working, you can create a desktop launcher to it | 00:15 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 trying it out as we speak | 00:15 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, is the "there" part that get us misunderstand one another, these are in the Add to Panel menu | 00:16 |
| SoftwareExplorer | bean: I know I can do that, but it's a pain to do every time. All the computers I ssh into are in my house, so I'm not really worried that they might have a different key | 00:16 |
| dropedrobarri | mkanyicy, they were in the "add to panel" menu. And they've just disappeared, and its no way to add them.. | 00:17 |
| SoftwareExplorer | bean: if I could just have it ask when there is already an entry for an ip, it would be fine. | 00:17 |
| Izinucs | My turn for a grub question.. I need to add a command to the kernel line to get my system working (pci=nomsi).. I'm editing /etc/default/grub and added what I need in the same line as "quiet splash" which should work. Top of the edit window show I'll need to run "update-grub" when I'm done.. however I'm doing this from a live cd.. will the live cd update-grub still update the installed systems grub? | 00:17 |
| Dravenm4 | apt-get tells me I have all the newest versions of base , headers, and utils I am very new to linux not even 50% yet | 00:17 |
| lluvia_ | somebody knows a irc for ekiga? | 00:17 |
| mkanyicy | dropedrobarri, that is very strange | 00:17 |
| bean | Host 192.168.0.* | 00:17 |
| bean | StrictHostKeyChecking no | 00:17 |
| bean | UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null | 00:17 |
| bean | SoftwareExplorer: ^^ | 00:17 |
| jcc1 | SoftwareExplorer: once you delete the file it just creates another one with the new keys (as you ssh into them) unless you are re-loading OP Systems daily this shouldn't be that big an issue | 00:17 |
| CShadowRun | lluvia_: gimpnet #ekiga | 00:18 |
| CShadowRun | lluvia_: infact, it's probably on irc.gnome.org #ekiga | 00:18 |
| dropedrobarri | what is the name of the package that contains all gnome applets? | 00:18 |
| SoftwareExplorer | jcc1: The problem is that I'm multibooting, with one physical computer always at the same ip | 00:18 |
| davidrawson | hello | 00:18 |
| davidrawson | whoops | 00:18 |
| StrayHyena | hello | 00:19 |
| SoftwareExplorer | bean: where should I put the StrictHostKeyChecking thing? | 00:19 |
| charnel | where is gtkrc in ubuntu 9.10 | 00:19 |
| charnel | ? | 00:19 |
| lluvia_ | CShadowRun: Thanks! | 00:19 |
| jcc1 | SoftwareExplorer: I'm not sure there is a lot you can do other than what you ave already suggested | 00:19 |
| SoftwareExplorer | charnel: I think there in /usr/share/themes/<themenamehere>/gtkrc | 00:20 |
| SoftwareExplorer | *they're | 00:20 |
| karim__ | hi | 00:20 |
| charnel | SoftwareExplorer: If its a custome theme how can i know the folder which holds the details | 00:20 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 can't get it to work | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | what's the error? | 00:21 |
| SoftwareExplorer | charnel: I think it's in like gtk-2.0 folder inside the folder inside the theme | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | charnel, it'll be under your user folder | 00:21 |
| mkanyicy | SoftwareExplorer, maybe put what bean suggested in /etc/ssh/ssh_config | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | charnel, ~/.themes/ | 00:21 |
| mkanyicy | hi karim__ | 00:22 |
| karim__ | I would like to share a folder with two users, so I have set the folder as 775, with the sgid bit, and two users in the same group, and set the umask to 002, however if I copy files, they don't inherit the permissions 775 of the shared folder | 00:22 |
| Purpley1 | Hey guys Im trying to change my monitor to display DVI but when I go to DVI my screen goes blank and then it goes back to VGA can someone help? | 00:22 |
| dropedrobarri | hey, whats the name of the binary of "ubuntu software center"? | 00:22 |
| SoftwareExplorer | mkanyicy: thanks, just a minute, I'm going to go try it | 00:22 |
| charnel | yes but I have many themes and when I right click and select the change background it says that I am using a custom theme does not provide its name in this condition which file in .themes shall I look | 00:22 |
| charnel | ? | 00:22 |
| Dravenm4 | ok Ill try again Im new to linux I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and everything works except sound I see the hardware but asla says no mixer and there is no hardware profile in the volume controls please help | 00:22 |
| jcc1 | karim: check your smb.conf file | 00:23 |
| legend2440 | dropedrobarri: /usr/bin/software-center | 00:23 |
| mkanyicy | karim__, why don't you copy the files with "cp -p" ? | 00:23 |
| jim__ | does ubuntu have a phone contact | 00:23 |
| tobiasz | mhall119 where can I upload screenshot for you | 00:23 |
| jim__ | how do i restore my computer something just messed up | 00:24 |
| blakkheim | jim__: what happened? | 00:24 |
| mkanyicy | karim__, secondly, I think i once heard a guru saying using umask is not a good practice | 00:24 |
| zvacet | jim__ : if you can be more specific... | 00:24 |
| macman_ | there a ubuntu jaunty hcannel ? | 00:24 |
| jim__ | it said there was 300 some odd updates and i clicked teh updates and messed my comp up | 00:24 |
| macman_ | s/hcannel/channel | 00:24 |
| zvacet | macman_ : you can ask here about jaunty | 00:25 |
| zoobox | in what file do Compiz store the settings (for the things... what is they called "plugins" ?) ? | 00:25 |
| blakkheim | zoobox: install ccsm | 00:25 |
| macman_ | zvacet: this place is always busy for questions | 00:25 |
| zoobox | blakkheim: what is ccsm? | 00:25 |
| blakkheim | zoobox: then you can export all your settings to a filee | 00:25 |
| blakkheim | zoobox: compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:25 |
| mkanyicy | macman_, don't feel left out, my friend, this is for jaunty as well | 00:25 |
| karim__ | mkanyicy: why would a user do that from command line ? | 00:25 |
| zvacet | macman_ : this is a place for all supported versions of ubuntu | 00:25 |
| jim__ | hello? | 00:26 |
| scunizi | will update-grub from within the live cd work on an installed system after I've edited /etc/default/grub and added something? | 00:26 |
| mkanyicy | karim__, do what? | 00:26 |
| meoblast001 | hi, i'm having trouble finding a cronjob i created, where are all the possible places it could be at | 00:26 |
| macman_ | oh ok cool .. i remember when jaunty first came out they had a channel for it | 00:26 |
| karim__ | mkanyicy: and anyway I would want no-preserve, | 00:26 |
| macman_ | don't worr im install 9.0.4 and about to updte to the latest | 00:26 |
| jim__ | i can see this is no help | 00:26 |
| jim__ | this ubuntu is crap | 00:26 |
| jim__ | fuck ubuntu | 00:26 |
| jim__ | and fuck you all | 00:27 |
| mkanyicy | karim__, anyway you still have chown and chmod, yaaay!! | 00:27 |
| macman_ | jim__: ubuntu is the best distro out there and easiest | 00:27 |
| DaZ | <3 | 00:27 |
| CShadowRun | he's got the rage :D | 00:27 |
| zoobox | blakkheim: ah! ok yeah it is ccsm I use. but the "screen edge" and "edge button" columns in the settings is grayed out .... how do I set them? | 00:27 |
| jim__ | windoes | 00:27 |
| jim__ | wondows | 00:27 |
| meoblast001 | what about windows? | 00:27 |
| macman_ | jim__: windows has been crap since day one and should be shut down | 00:27 |
| scunizi | !ask | jim__ without all the foul language | 00:27 |
| jim__ | thats the best | 00:27 |
| ubottu | jim__ without all the foul language: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:27 |
| mkanyicy | ban this jim__ guy please! | 00:27 |
| zvacet | jim__ : if you don´t like it use something else | 00:27 |
| meoblast001 | jim__: Windows is a proprietary operating system made by people who do not care about your or your freedom, they only care about your money | 00:27 |

| DaZ | Purpley1: the only configuration file in xorg is xorg.conf | 00:29 |
| scunizi | Purpley1: sure.. just rename it xorg.conf.backup and then make a new xorg.conf | 00:29 |

| jim__ | i clicked update manager and it started to do 300 something updates and now my computer is messed up | 00:34 |
| mkanyicy | jim__, what is messed up? | 00:35 |
| mhall119 | Purpley1, it probably doesn't find anything new because it already sees it on the VGA | 00:35 |
| shashike | i changed my password on ubuntu and now i cant install anything from ubuntu software center !1! | 00:35 |
| scunizi | Purpley1: so is that 2 different monitors or 2 cables plugged into the same monitor? | 00:35 |
| karim__ | mkanyicy: yes but a user would need to ask a guy to change them if he forgot. and since we human forgot a lot | 00:35 |
| Scott1979 | my question is why when i expecting my comuter to be at idle on the network it continues to recive around 60 bytes goes up to 119 bytes and i send around 166bytes but this is in ubuntu 9.10 | 00:35 |
| jim__ | if i new i wouldnt be asking for help | 00:35 |
| Scott1979 | i expect it to actually idle not send recive | 00:35 |
| zoobox | APERSON: hmm yeah I might have found its settings... /.gconf/apps/compiz/plugins/ ? | 00:35 |
| jim__ | ill type exactly waht it says when i highlight the update manager | 00:35 |
| innagaddadavida | Anyone having problems with ksoftirqd taking 100% cpu on karmic? | 00:36 |
| scunizi | Purpley1: if it's one monitor turn the machine off and unplug the vga cable.. then turn it back on.. it should detect automatically | 00:36 |
| mkanyicy | karim__, I don't understand you, you responded after a very long time | 00:36 |
| zvacet | jim__ use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com to give as output of command witch yopu will run from applications>accessories>terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:36 |
| Scott1979 | is this a normal thing to see packets up and down when computer is at idle | 00:36 |
| APERSON | zoobox, it appears to be ~/.config/compiz | 00:36 |
| scunizi | Scott1979: yes | 00:36 |
| mhall119 | Scott1979, just because it's idle, doesn't mean it's not doing _anything_ | 00:36 |
| OerHeks | Scott1979 if you use irc, your pc sends and recieves bytes | 00:36 |
| mhall119 | there are background processes that check for updates and such | 00:36 |
| APERSON | zoobox, though it looks like compiz's settings are where you listed | 00:36 |
| Purpley1 | OK I'll try it if it works ill come back and tell you guys | 00:36 |
| howdeep | Is it possible to install ubuntu by booting from LAN? | 00:37 |
| zoobox | APERSON: ahh.. there it is. thanks | 00:37 |
| scunizi | mhall119: yes.. but you can force a check on cli with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:37 |
| mhall119 | howdeep, yes | 00:37 |
| Scott1979 | yes i understand that much but do u think it is just requesting connection to the adsl gatway or actually using my downloads | 00:37 |
| mkanyicy | howdeep, yes | 00:37 |
| APERSON | howdeep, yes | 00:37 |
| mhall119 | howdeep, google PXE | 00:37 |

| jim__ | anythign ? | 00:38 |
| mhall119 | Scott1979, it's probably checking for updates from Ubuntu's servers | 00:38 |
| zvacet | jim__ I n terminal type sudo apt-get -f install | 00:38 |
| karim__ | mkanyicy: what i want is to enforce permissions in a folder, so that all files are modifiable by users of a group. However, if a user copy a file as rwxr-xr-x , the others can't modify it. That's what I want to avoid | 00:38 |
| Scott1979 | yeah ok cool ill look into that | 00:38 |
| mhall119 | if you have IRC or some other IM client running, it's probably periodically checking in | 00:38 |

| IdleOne | Tim1: I would have to agree with lstarnes | 00:57 |

| lotek | did u check your iwconfig to see if u have drive install | 00:57 |
| kwtm | Is there any CLI command to see what files a DEB package *will* install, without actually installing the package? | 00:57 |
| lepr | doneill: first purge then install | 00:57 |
| mayki | chown --help | 00:57 |

| Suncross | Purpley1: Yes I have | 00:58 |
| lepr | kwtm: yes, but i forget what. aptitude probably. | 00:58 |
| doneill | lepr: that would be slick, but that would also remove all my applications, since they all seem to link to pulse. | 00:58 |
| lstarnes | aguy: you haven't asked it yet | 00:58 |

| Guest58091 | alguien habla español..? | 01:03 |
| jim__ | i dunno | 01:03 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: my guess is that it's actually running but as root and fails to connect to your X server. you should see log entries every time it runs. | 01:03 |
| doneill | sheila: i would suggest "running in a terminal" if you are given the option | 01:03 |
| jim__ | i think the problem is im out of space on my hard rive | 01:03 |
| alde | jim__, did "sudo apt-get -f install" run properly? | 01:04 |

| mister_roboto | pjotter: i forget exactly where it gets logged. but i think yes, it should be in syslog and/or messages | 01:07 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, then open the tar.gz file and extract that somewhere | 01:07 |
| jim__ | i dont no what to do | 01:07 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: if it's your own crontab (your uid's crontab) you might want to check your unix mailbox too. usually on failure you will get a mail | 01:07 |

| pjotter | mister_roboto: It shows up in the syslog. Every minute: "CRON[14974]: (test) CMD (/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/firefox # JOB_ID_3)". But no errors of any kind. | 01:10 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: check your mail | 01:10 |
| Darkedge | Is there a testing repos, Like Debian has, For Ubuntu? | 01:10 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: run "mail" on the cmd line | 01:10 |
| Darkedge | and whats a good theme? :) | 01:10 |
| MindVirus | I installed newer versions of software from a repository that I have now removed. Is there any way to roll back? | 01:10 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, Could you please give me the directory where you just extracted the file? | 01:10 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: no because ubuntu is debian sid what is the highest testing-tree | 01:10 |
| zoobox | Hmm... it seems that for a plugin like "expo" I can set the hotkey for Expo to be [TopLeft Button5], but not for a plugin like "ezoom", am I doing somthing wrong here? (even if I write it directly in the exported profile file that I import back in ccsm, it just ignores it) | 01:10 |
| zoobox | Perhaps I just have a too old version of compiz though... anyone here that uses compiz that cares to check? | 01:10 |
| doneill | sure zoo | 01:11 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: '/home/suncross/Desktop/untitled folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3' | 01:11 |
| tim_ | Hi everyone, I was just wondering if someone could help me install Samba. It keeps saying that there are broken packages when I use Synaptic and when I try "sudo apt-get install samba" | 01:11 |
| doneill | ezoom = enhanced zoom desktop? | 01:11 |
| Darkedge | iceroot: oh ok, I think I might be switching to Ubuntu but I want to have current, yet stable, Packages. | 01:11 |
| MindVirus | Any suggestions? | 01:12 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, Now in the upper-left corner click Applications>Accessories>Terminal | 01:12 |
| doneill | zoobox: seems to work for me | 01:12 |
| Darkedge | Is Ubuntu current, yet, Stable? | 01:12 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: if you want stable, why you want a testing repo? | 01:12 |
| kwtm | wow, "aptitude" seems better than "apt-get"! | 01:12 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: yes | 01:12 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: done | 01:12 |
| Darkedge | iceroot: I want current BUT Stable | 01:12 |
| kLown | im trying to play a video on a web site (flash), I can see the video, but it wont play. gnash, and flash are both installed, anyone got any ideas? | 01:12 |
| Darkedge | I don't want Packages from ages ago =P | 01:12 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: then use ubuntu, if you want old but very very stable, use debian lenny | 01:12 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: It says: "Error no display defined" | 01:13 |
| doneill | zoobox: compizconfig-settings-manager 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 | 01:13 |
| dandaman | everytime i try to watch a movie whether its avi or another format and i go into full screen i get crazy lag in the beginning and sometimes it freezes my computer. | 01:13 |
| zoobox | doneill: ok, perhaps my version is just too old. | 01:13 |
| dandaman | anyone know what the problem it? | 01:13 |
| dandaman | is* | 01:13 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: ok, so it's running. just can't connect to your X server. i take it you're ok with that? why would you wanna run FF every minute? :) | 01:13 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, in the terminal enter "cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC" without quotation marks or copy and paste it | 01:13 |
| MindVirus | I installed newer versions of software from a repository that I have now removed. Is there any way to roll back? | 01:13 |
| dandaman | this happens with every video playing program | 01:13 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: you can just rollback to that what is current in the repo | 01:14 |
| MindVirus | iceroot: how? | 01:14 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: sudo apt-get install packagename | 01:14 |
| Darkedge | Ubuntu it is then | 01:14 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: if you just want to see something run, try "touch /tmp/myfile" and you'll see the timestamp update every minute | 01:14 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, now type ./install | 01:14 |
| doneill | zoobox: i'm running karmic | 01:14 |
| MindVirus | iceroot: Problem is, I don't know what was updated. | 01:14 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: For some reason, it stopped at Untitled | 01:15 |
| Darkedge | Now I hear Ubuntu has a bad theme by default, Can someone suggest one for me? :P | 01:15 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: updates using ubuntu-repo? then you cant rollback | 01:15 |
| MindVirus | Sweet. | 01:15 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: try it yourself | 01:15 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, My mistake sorry enter this /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC | 01:15 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: I just wanted to see how this "Scheduled Tasks" program works. So I just thought I let a popup an application every minute. I thought of firefox. Do you have a better suggestion? Is there a program that wiul generate a sound or some other thing I can see in Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: actually you should assume that the cron job is running with NO environment set up. and you should use full paths to everything. e.g. /usr/bin/touch /tmp/myfile | 01:15 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: Ah, ok thank you. | 01:16 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: i just told you. just touching a file is a pretty easy thing to do with visible results | 01:16 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: It still says that there isnt a folder named that | 01:16 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: thanks, Iĺl try that :) | 01:16 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: you can use "ls -l /tmp/myfile" to see the timestamp | 01:16 |
| orenji | I can't patch svgalib, any fix for this? it said inherit: command not found | 01:16 |
| Darkedge | iceroot: huh? try what myself? the theme? I have tried Ubuntu before, and I think im going back to it :P | 01:17 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, what does the current terminal line say? | 01:17 |
| lepr | Darkedge: the one that will work with everything is clearlooks because it is default for gnome. unfortuneately if you chose something that suits your sense of style then some things will break. | 01:17 |
| iceroot | Darkedge: try to find a theme yourself of course. everyone is prefering another theme | 01:17 |
| DaZ_ | orenji: how are trying to patch it? :f | 01:17 |

| orenji | saved the links with the same names | 01:18 |
| orenji | and running the patch | 01:19 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, type cd untitl and then hit tab it should auto complete the name tell me if it works | 01:19 |
| DaZ_ | orenji: the patch from the gentoo site or /usr/bin/patch? :3 | 01:19 |
| iceroot | orenji: ubuntu is not gentoo | 01:19 |
| orenji | gentoo site | 01:19 |
| DaZ_ | iceroot: so? | 01:19 |
| DaZ_ | sourcecode is the same. | 01:19 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: sometimes its patched | 01:19 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: or do you think everythin in ubuntu is the same as in gentoo? | 01:20 |
| frankely | how can i add an character in a empty key in my keyboard? | 01:20 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: It does not seem to be working | 01:20 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: But touching the file doesn't do anything visible in Ubuntu, or does it? | 01:20 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: it changes the timestamp, as i said. which is a visible effect | 01:20 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: I am typing "cd /home/suncross/Desktop/untitled_folder/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC" | 01:20 |
| DaZ_ | iceroot: it isn't? <: | 01:21 |
| orenji | frankely: maybe you can try different keyboard layout | 01:21 |
| orenji | ? | 01:21 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: of course it isnt | 01:21 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: if you "ls -l /tmp/myfile" you can see the timestamp on the file changing to the latest time | 01:21 |
| frankely | i mean, is not a key that is in my keyboard | 01:21 |
| DaZ_ | why? <: | 01:21 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: Ok, now I understand. Sorry Iḿ just a newbie in Ubuntu. Have to learn everything... | 01:21 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: for e.g. look at origignal gnome and ubuntu-gnome | 01:21 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, go to places on your computer, then go to Desktop, then Change the folder untitled folder to untitled | 01:21 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: ubuntu gnome is so much patched | 01:21 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: we all started there once :) | 01:21 |
| frankely | i wanna add this "¬" in the windows key | 01:21 |
| orenji | frankely: you want to type it without accessing the char map? | 01:22 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: also ubuntu/debian sometimes using other parts then the original code | 01:22 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: I'll just check the timestamp of that file... see if it changes every minute :) | 01:22 |
| frankely | yes | 01:22 |
| iceroot | DaZ_: also there are sometimes difference in ubuntu and debian paths | 01:22 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: it will. as long as you don't have a typo in your command :) | 01:22 |
| frankely | orenji, that is what i need | 01:22 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: ok | 01:22 |
| doneill | well, --reinstall doesn't reinstall the pulse audio configs, nor does dpkg-reconfigure pulseaudio. i think i'm boned. | 01:22 |
| doneill | actually i suppose i could dpkg -x the configs | 01:23 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: Don worry I tried the full command in a terminal first, and it worked | 01:23 |

| Purpley1 | Suncross, ok extract it to your desktop | 01:24 |
| Wavesonics | thx DaZ_ how about boot? | 01:24 |
| howdeep | doneill, super noob here.....what do i do with it? | 01:24 |
| Arimoto | running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 | 01:24 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: ok done | 01:25 |
| flipzagging | I'm using a netbook with 9.10. How do I convince apt-get to load packages from the USB stick, not /cdrom ? I assume this involves fixing sources.list | 01:25 |
| DaZ_ | Wavesonics: leave it as it is, ext4 on /boot results in problems with grub1 | 01:25 |
| doneill | howdeep: you paste it into a file, then make it executible with: chmod +x myscript.sh | 01:25 |
| Wavesonics | DaZ_ i upgraded to Grub2 | 01:25 |
| mister_roboto | iceroot: he just wants to see cron work so i had him just touch a file in his crontab. quick, easy and visible | 01:25 |
| BeZerk | wm 5 | 01:25 |
| doneill | howdeep: then run it, ./myscript.sh Start | 01:25 |
| DaZ_ | Wavesonics: still there's no gain from changing it to ext4 [; | 01:25 |
| iceroot | mister_roboto: ok dindt read all | 01:25 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, What is it named? | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mister_roboto: you may want to check out the 'watch' command ' ie: --> 'watch ls -l /path/to/file' | 01:26 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: LinuxDrivers but should I extract the stuff in Audio again right? | 01:26 |
| doneill | howdeep: but this page looks pretty cool. are you a network admin? | 01:26 |
| mister_roboto | Dr_Willis: i keep forgetting about that :) so used to doing it manually forever | 01:26 |
| orenji | so, I'm sorry... how to do the patch and compile the source? the original one has some errors on it | 01:26 |
| DaZ_ | but you can do that of course.. | 01:26 |
| Arimoto | nevermind, universe is disabled for some reason | 01:26 |
| doneill | orenji, what are you patching? | 01:27 |
| howdeep | doneill, no, trying to install ubuntu on an older machine that won't boot from usb | 01:27 |
| mister_roboto | Dr_Willis: i've worked on so many unixes that i just learn the portable set of stuff that works everywhere | 01:27 |

| doneill | howdeep: i'm sorta lazy, i would probably just take the hard disc out, put it into a system with a cdrom and install it to the hard disc, then put the hard disc back. | 01:28 |
| DesuDesuDesu | saruchansaruchan | 01:28 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: Hurray!!! It works :) | 01:28 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: ok, you're on your way now! | 01:28 |
| howdeep | doneill, i should probably do that....but this is kind of a learning experience | 01:28 |
| doneill | orenji could you PM me the patch and such? | 01:28 |
| howdeep | doneill, i could also just find a dvd drive that works... | 01:29 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: Feel like Iǘe really accomplished something :) It may not be much.. but to me it's great. Thanks for your help. | 01:29 |
| orenji | emm... let me se... it's hard to copy paste since I'm totally on terminal | 01:29 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, What is the directory you extracted it in? | 01:29 |
| doneill | howdeep: i hear ya. well, this document doesn't really explain to you what is happening, just spoon feeding instructions... | 01:29 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: every step forward in learning is a good thing, even if small. :) | 01:29 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: '/home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3' | 01:29 |
| doneill | howdeep: basically you'll be booting linux from data provided to the client PC via the network bootrom. so basically you need to set-up and environment from which the bootrom can coordinate network configuration and of course a repository from where the files it receives will come from on your server. | 01:30 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: One question: How do I stop the script in the terminal? | 01:30 |
| orenji | bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=176440 | 01:30 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: oh, just <ctrl>-c out of it | 01:30 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, Do you see the install file? | 01:30 |
| Wavesonics | upgrading FS while drinking, why did i do both @ the same time | 01:30 |
| Suncross | yes | 01:31 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: Whoops.. Ctrl-c.. that one was easy. Thgought I had pressed it. :S | 01:31 |
| orenji | another one | 01:31 |
| orenji | bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=177228 | 01:31 |
| howdeep | doneill, i see | 01:31 |
| doneill | howdeep: this bootpd is a boostrapping daemon. basically, it will set up the client netboot rom to receive the files, and tell it where/how to get them. the wrapper script is unnecessary for a one-time installation though, this script would be used for a person installing ubuntu many times over a period of days, weeks, or months. | 01:31 |
| doneill | howdeep: if i were you i'd just open a terminal and type: sudo bootpd -d 4 -c /var/lib/tftpboot | 01:32 |
| jeromel | hi | 01:32 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: Yes | 01:32 |
| subspider | hi | 01:32 |
| howdeep | doneill, i'll try that.......also noob question: what is a daemon? | 01:32 |
| DesuDesuDesu | lol i just got servbanned from another server is this win? | 01:32 |
| Wavesonics | howdeep, it's a process that runs in the backroung | 01:32 |
| doneill | howdeep: you have asked a sordid question with a million answers, all of which WRONG depending on who answers. basically, it's the linux equivelant of a Windows Service. | 01:33 |
| mister_roboto | WRONG! | 01:33 |
| mister_roboto | hehe | 01:33 |
| doneill | ^- ty | 01:33 |
| orenji | DesuDesuDesu: ask your ubuntu question and wait | 01:33 |

| DesuDesuDesu | I thought this was general chat. | 01:33 |
| DaZ_ | !find libstdc++.so.5 | 01:33 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, right click on install, go to propertites and go to permissions and click allow file executing as program | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Package/file libstdc++.so.5 does not exist in karmic | 01:33 |
| joel_ | Åh vad fint det är med dualboot | 01:33 |
| === joel_ is now known as jolaren | ||
| howdeep | doneill, okay. i understand. all my experience is with windows so i can relate to that pretty well | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | subspider: im not sure if that game has been updated to work with the newer linux disrtos in some time. | 01:33 |
| howdeep | doneill, just installed this about a week ago, still learning the ropes | 01:34 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: Done. | 01:34 |
| jcc1 | howdeep: daemon: A program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task, for example, the apache webserver runs as a daemon | 01:34 |
| mister_roboto | howdeep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28computer_software%29 | 01:34 |
| subspider | i download the file from there | 01:34 |
| subspider | Dr_Willis, do you know if theres a channel were i can talk to americans army people | 01:35 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, now double click on install and hit "run" | 01:35 |
| jeromel | someone can someone can tell me where can i find the moduels ? | 01:35 |
| jeromel | modules* | 01:35 |
| jcc1 | subspider: there are lots, I'm a vet Army person, but it would probably be off-topic here :-) | 01:36 |
| Suncross | Prupley1: Ok I did that. Nothing seemed to pop up after though. It didnt even ask me for my password or anything. | 01:36 |
| mister_roboto | jcc1: he probably means the game :) | 01:36 |
| jcc1 | :-) | 01:36 |
| jeromel | I compiled one module but when I try modprobe, the computer tell me that it does not exist, what do i need to do ? | 01:36 |
| jcc1 | either way, off-topic here | 01:36 |
| mister_roboto | true | 01:37 |
| junky | jeromel: dont forget the make install at the end | 01:37 |
| doneill | subspider: are you running ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? | 01:37 |
| jeromel | yes i did it | 01:37 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: But why can't Scheduled Tasks run firefox? What is the problem with that? Can it only run non-GUI-like apps? | 01:37 |
| subspider | 64 bit | 01:37 |
| jeromel | i did all the entries on the make to be sure.. | 01:37 |
| jeromel | lol | 01:37 |
| DaZ_ | pjotter: maybe you have to specify display. | 01:38 |
| junky | jeromel: copy the file .ko manually? | 01:38 |
| jeromel | it is not a .ko | 01:38 |
| subspider | doneill, 64 bits | 01:38 |
| jeromel | oh ues i have a .ko | 01:38 |
| pjotter | DaZ_: You mean add some arguments to the firefox command or something? | 01:38 |
| jeromel | junky, where do i need to place it? | 01:38 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: it could run gui stuff too if it can get a connection to the X server. there are many problems with that related to being authorized to connect. also, it's generally not something you want a background job to be doing. cron is more for maintenance type stuff that you want to run in the background on a schedule | 01:39 |
| DaZ_ | pjotter: yes [; | 01:39 |
| R[a]ndom | Hey does anyone know of a good guide for getting VDPAU to work properly on Karmic with mplayer? Ive been playing with this for hours with little success. | 01:39 |
| doneill | subspider: then you could snurgle it, but it would take some fiddling | 01:39 |
| subspider | jcc1, can you tell me the channels | 01:39 |
| mead | ok, I've got ubuntu running and I want to connect to my wireless AP, do I really need to enter a BSSID/mac address of the access point? | 01:39 |
| doneill | R[a]ndom: i use vadpau, but i didn't use a guide | 01:39 |
| Suncross | purpley1: What should I do now? | 01:39 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: in fact, your gui program *was* running, just not connecting to the X server :) | 01:39 |
| junky | jeromel: whats the kernel module you're trying to use? | 01:39 |
| jeromel | bluetooth | 01:39 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: ok! :) | 01:39 |
| jeromel | I think I have found | 01:40 |
| jcc1 | pjotter: it probably can, but what is the point? usually gui programs are designed for human input/output so it is assumed the the human will start it. cron/sched tasks was designed for things that only need to run once, in the background with no human interaction | 01:40 |
| R[a]ndom | doneill, you're using both the output plugin and the codec? (the -vo and the -vc?) | 01:40 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, Describe to me what happened, I can't run it | 01:40 |
| subspider | doneill, i know if i use wine it work but its emulated so actually it's not so smooth playing | 01:40 |
| R[a]ndom | doneill, on my install the vdpau video codecs arent installed | 01:40 |
| jeromel | is there /lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/bluetooth ? | 01:40 |
| pjotter | mister_roboto: So now I have about 100+ instances of firefox running on my computer? | 01:40 |
| doneill | R[a]ndom: i dunno, it has always "just worked" for me. let me try again... | 01:40 |
| mister_roboto | pjotter: no. it "ran" but just failed at startup | 01:40 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: I clicked on install, and it asked me if I wanted to run it, run it in a terminal, or close, and I chose run like you told me. After that, nothing happened. | 01:41 |
| Grieg | hello. i have a flashplugin problem. when i try to watch video on youtube i can only hear sound, but not see video | 01:41 |
| R[a]ndom | doneill, thanks. cause it seemed to 'just work' for me too, except my processor usage didn't drop like it should. You should get under 10% usage with 1080P files from what ive read | 01:41 |
| pjotter | jcc1: You're right. That is true. I just wanted to test it, so I thought of something visable, like an app opening. | 01:41 |
| doneill | r[a]ndom: looks like i can't help you: mplayer: symbol lookup error: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tags | 01:41 |
| R[a]ndom | hehe | 01:41 |
| doneill | Yet another Karmic bug (tm). | 01:41 |
| R[a]ndom | maybe I'll start a forum thread | 01:42 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, Ok in your terminal cd /home/suncross/Desktop/LinuxDrivers/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3 | 01:42 |
| doneill | r[a]ndom: actually, check out the mythtv wiki | 01:42 |
| snake | off topic comment: I was having a dream last night, iwas doing some binary coding stuff(even though i dont know binary)i was just like 0101011101010111...2!Thats when i woke up... horifying isnt it | 01:42 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: Ok I am there. | 01:42 |
| doneill | r[a]ndom: they use VDPAU a lot, and i'm sure i saw a section for mplayer playback with it. | 01:42 |
| jcc1 | pjotter: the app, to test best would be something like "mail", a gui would require the -display switch so it would know where to run. Firefox knows because it was invoked from X, not cron | 01:42 |
| jeromel | junky, on my laptop i have a "driver" folder but not on the computer i try to install the module ? | 01:42 |
| R[a]ndom | doneill, yeah thanks. i have been browsing some of their stuff. Sadly a lot of it seems to apply only to mythtv itself and not standalone mplayer. though perhaps i just dont understand the relation | 01:43 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, type ./install.sh | 01:43 |
| jeromel | junky, oh no my mistake, | 01:43 |
| mister_roboto | jcc1: we went an even lighter-weight approach and just touch'd a file every minute and then checked the timestamp | 01:43 |
| jcc1 | mister_roboto: good example, too, and probably quicker for a newbie | 01:44 |
| doneill | r[a]ndom: the mythtv video playback system uses mplayer though, and in the setup you specify parameters | 01:44 |
| Suncross | purpley1: It said "bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory" | 01:44 |
| jeromel | junky, the .ko is in this place : /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/bluetooth | 01:44 |
| Xfact | hey | 01:44 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: However, I am infact in its directory. | 01:44 |
| Umeaboy | Hi! | 01:45 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, type ./install | 01:45 |
| Suncross | Purply1: ah ok there it goes | 01:45 |

| f1lt3r | Are there any audio problems with Karmic I should know about as a developer? | 01:46 |
| Suncross | Purpley1, Ok it says I need to reboot to activate driver. | 01:46 |
| doneill | f1lt3r: just one, pulseaudio | 01:46 |
| pjotter | Ok. Thanks a lot , people. I really need some sleep now. See you. | 01:46 |
| f1lt3r | whats the beef doneill ? | 01:46 |
| jcc1 | pjotter: no prob | 01:46 |
| Suncross | Purpley1, I am going to be right back | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: i think the installer will want you to format.. I woudent avise reinstalling without reformating | 01:46 |
| ctmjr | R[a]ndom: if you want to find out if you have mplayer with vdpau just run this in a terminal mplayer -vo help it list the codecs if you see vdpau your good to go | 01:46 |
| Purpley1 | Suncross, OK | 01:46 |
| doneill | f1lt3r: well, pulseaudio rarely works. | 01:46 |
| DaZ_ | Xfact: you can try only removing files, should work [; | 01:46 |
| doneill | f1lt3r: or only runs for 10 minutes, then locks up. depending on platform. | 01:46 |
| f1lt3r | ok | 01:46 |
| R[a]ndom | ctmjr, i have the vdpau -vo but not the neccessary -vc | 01:46 |
| R[a]ndom | ctmjr, so its only using it for displaying, not decoding | 01:46 |
| f1lt3r | i disabled it in x11 anyway, but i'm having problems getting firefox audio to work | 01:46 |
| Xfact | DaZ_: yes...I want to remove...and want to reinstall the newer version | 01:47 |
| doneill | f1lt3r: yep, i have something of a hate on for pulse. and avahi, but mostly pulse. | 01:47 |

| jeffwheeler | I think it may be i915; is there any way to tell? | 02:15 |

| mhall119 | Lucifero, why? | 02:20 |
| jeffwheeler | Lucifero: what is it supposed to do? | 02:20 |
| mhall119 | Lucifero, it's generally a bad idea to execute arbitrary shell commands as root without knowing what they do | 02:20 |
| Lucifero | mhall119 ohhh | 02:20 |
| Lucifero | it just display ur current user,as u should know konowing bash scripting | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | echos an escape sequence then prints teh value of the variable USER it seems like. | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | now why you need someone to run it.. is the question | 02:21 |
| mhall119 | Lucifero, not, it doesn't exactly, does it? | 02:21 |
| Lucifero | Dr_Willis: why here, running as root, he display my normal username | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Lucifero: how did you become 'root' | 02:22 |
| jcc1 | Lucifero: it depends on how you gained the root terminal | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | echo $USER would sufice to see... | 02:22 |

| karim__ | what script should I use to run a command only once at boot ? | 02:23 |
| Lucifero | Dr_Willis: yeah echo $USER is enough | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | karim__: /etc/rc.local gets ran at boot time. | 02:23 |
| jcc1 | Lucifero: rc.local | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | karim__: if you mean at BOOTUP not user LOGIN | 02:23 |

| Schiz0 | Hi. A user is logged on to the desktop and using gnome. I'm logged in via SSH. I'd like to send a notifcation via `notify-send`, however, it's not working because the SSH session doesn't have the same DISPLAY var as the GUI desktop session. How can I fix this? | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Schiz0: when you ssh in ; use 'ssh -X' | 02:31 |
| Nyoron | blakkheim: didn't work | 02:31 |

| Schiz0 | Dr_Willis: Thanks. Do you happen to know the equivilent of -X in PuTTy on windows? | 02:31 |
| Nyoron | blakkheim: you're good | 02:31 |
| joshua___ | Schiz0: become root, then that user, then set DISPLAY then send notification | 02:31 |
| blakkheim | Nyoron: nyoro~n | 02:32 |
| mhall119 | no no no, you do _NOT_ want ssh -X | 02:32 |
| adam83 | Dr_Willis ext3 | 02:32 |
| Nyoron | blakkheim: Too good... | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Schiz0: theres a setting in the putty program settigns for it.. of course you will STILL need to have a X server running on the windows machine to actually shiow the programs output. (i use xming for that task) | 02:32 |
| mhall119 | -X will forward the notify-osd commands to _your_ box | 02:32 |

| wookienz | and usually i just root into everything, bad i know.. so ubuntu is teaching me a lesson | 02:55 |
| joshua___ | Wavesonics: maybe need to mount manually and fix /etc/fstab and then run update-initramfs | 02:55 |
| Xfact | jcc1: and how to run a 'memcheck'? | 02:55 |
| wookienz | i think just a "\" to escape it is fine | 02:55 |
| howdeep | jcc1, figured it out, thanks alot dude. | 02:55 |
| joshua___ | boot manually is usually somewhere along the lines of addinig kinit=/bin/sh to kernel command line | 02:55 |
| Wavesonics | <joshua___> ah very good idea | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Xfact: normally theres a memcheck item on the grub menus | 02:55 |

| ChogyDan | danny: have you tried envy? | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | jolaren: You can boot the cd and restart the installer.. and it will wan tto format the filesystems. its common to keep /home/ on its own partition - that way you dont lose the users data | 03:25 |

| townkat | jcc1: my wireles is suported in ubuntu, it work fine, but not in master mode (acces point mode), and i read that there are some rt2x00 drivers that enable this, can i use them from etc/modules/ ? | 03:27 |
| jcc1 | townkat: yes, I understand. The modules files list the ones you want loaded at boot time, I just don't know what module you need. Hardware support at Ubuntu may anser this | 03:27 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: I get lots of these errors: cannot find a device for /. This could be an indication? | 03:27 |

| optimizer | jtaji: but it's soooooooooooooooo cool; can you imagine having 2 monitors, plus 5 of these little things? | 03:28 |
| jcc1 | townkat: once you know the particular module you want then modinfo that module to see what options are available - see man modinfo | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: Not sure.. Ive rarely needed to reinstall grub. when i do . i just boot live cd.. do the chroot. and run 'update-grub' | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: could be you dident chroot in properluy | 03:29 |
| jtaji | optimizer: agreed... looks like it's possible, http://tzilla.is-a-geek.com/articles/egalax/ | 03:29 |

| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: there you have somehing.. How would I mount those? Never done that before | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: i though the grub restore docs showed how. | 03:31 |

| 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. | 03:31 |
| jtaji | optimizer: yeah you'd definitely be hacking together support for this yourself | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | lets look... :) | 03:31 |
| joshua___ | It sure came in handy when recovering from a crash later on | 03:31 |
| Kevin` | http://nelson.kwzs.be/~kevin/install.png - kinda sad in a way that it's faster to do this then just press then install button ;) | 03:32 |
| joshua___ | how do I dist-upgrade a schroot jail? | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub ---> Enter the following commands to load your filesystem and some information GRUB may need. | 03:33 |
| losha | mindvirus: there should be a complete log of package changes in order in /var/log/dpkg.log* | 03:33 |
| Kevin` | (because it's running from the iso file, and the cd is so sloooow) | 03:33 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: Havent checked those yet since that was about grub1, supposedly it was not for grub2 | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: its the same.. chroot in.. run the proper commands. :) actually the guides show other ways to restrore grub | 03:34 |
| woodyjlw | Dr_Willis, how do I find the file for firefox that I can delete | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: the command 'update-grub' and 'grub-install' work for either one | 03:34 |
| sven_oostenbrink | okay.. trying | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: depends on what you want to do. | 03:35 |
| woodyjlw | Dr_Willis, can I remove firefox completely and then reinstall? | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: you could.. it wont fix anything.... | 03:35 |
| jcc1 | mindvirus: you can check /var/log/dpkg.log | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: rember this.. removing a package will NOT NOT NOT alter teh USERS config files.... | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: package manager dosent TOUCH the users stuff. | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: if you want to fix the users configs then the user needs to do so. :) | 03:36 |
| woodyjlw | Dr_Willis, oh ok then I need to figure out where the folder is to delete so I can reste | 03:36 |
| mataernj_ | www.blogeek.com.ve - more info, ubuntu, linux venezuela | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: its in .mozilla/ somewhere | 03:37 |
| bastid_raZor | mataernj_: please don't advertise. | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: or just move/remove/rename the whole .mozilla dir to reset all of firefox | 03:37 |

| danny | how do i enable dual-tmu support? | 03:41 |

| woodyjlw | Dr_Willis, I have found folder with plugins and it will not let me delete. found it in the file system | 03:43 |

| Dr_Willis | woodyjlw: or try that safe-mode option | 03:44 |

| joshua___ | huh what can't delete file is really odd | 03:45 |

| blakkheim | sven_oostenbrink: looks like /dev is not mounted right | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: it could be your /dev/ or /proc/ is still not mounted right.. or you got no /boot/grub/device.map file | 03:46 |
| danny | when trying to turn on desktop effects it trys to locate a driver then says The Composite extension is not available dose ne one know how to fix this | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | danny: install the proper 3d video card drivers first. | 03:47 |

| Dr_Willis | Dayofswords: start with #!/bin/bash as teh first line also... :) | 03:49 |

| mindvirus | *information? | 03:53 |
| mindvirus | I am writing a program and need some way to access the data. | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | danny: that card may not be supported by all the versions of the nvidia drivers.. I recall needing nvidia-legacy-glx for some of my cards. | 03:53 |
| rooth | Anyone else than I having problem with nvidia? | 03:53 |
| keastes | how does one make a symlink? | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | danny: other then that.. I just use the restrcited-driver tool and install whatever the repos have. | 03:54 |
| mindvirus | keastes: ln -s <file to symlink> <new symlink name> | 03:54 |
| legend2440 | mindvirus: i'm sure there is but i dont know where it is | 03:54 |

| Dr_Willis | danny: personally i suggest just using the system->admin->hardware-drivers tool and install what it suggests | 03:55 |
| rooth | Can't use the nvidia restricted driver it seems, think it has something to do with a recent update perhaps? | 03:55 |
| Younder | rooth: the new CUDA support? | 03:55 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: found it, /sys was not mounted yet, its not on that page | 03:56 |
| psylon | Wow...they still didn't fix the video driver issue? | 03:56 |
| casa | >hey guys am on ubuntu 9.10. i want to know if i can remove CUPS once and for all and if so are there any complications? | 03:56 |
| danny | dr_willis, it reccomended 195 but i get SystemError: installArchives() failed msg | 03:56 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: update-grub2 worked right this time | 03:56 |
| sven_oostenbrink | now a reboot then? | 03:56 |
| rooth | Younder: Nah, just trying to boot =) Shows the Nvidia-logo upon trying to start gdm, then screen goes black and the logo reappears. | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | danny: no idea then. other then the thing isent downloading right. | 03:57 |
| Younder | I had troble compile the CUDA SDK | 03:57 |
| legend2440 | mindvirus: perhaps var/log/dpkg.log ? | 03:57 |
| catvsrat | suggest a good book for linux for me | 03:57 |
| rooth | Younder: changing xorg.conf from nvidia to nv works. Reinstallation of nvidia-drivers from nvidia.com (195.30) gives an error like libnvidia-tls bla bla. | 03:57 |
| Younder | compiling | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | catvsrat: ones with lots of words.. not lots of pictures. | 03:57 |

| rooth | Just wonder if its just me or something major. | 03:58 |
| catvsrat | Dr willimas | 03:58 |
| catvsrat | Dr willis | 03:58 |
| catvsrat | ok | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | catvsrat: depends on what exacctly you want to learn.. most books on 'linux' are focused on specific topics.. or are so 'for beginners' they are useless after you read them once. :) | 03:59 |
| catvsrat | ya i ma begineer so want to start from the bottom | 03:59 |
| danny | dr_willis, this is what it says when i try to install the 195 drivers thrugh synaptic package manager E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-195-libvdpau_195.30-0ubuntu0~ppa1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1', which is also in package libvdpau1 0 | 03:59 |

| casa | Dr_Willis. to remove cups completely should i compile a custom kernel? | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | casa: what does cups have to do with a custome kernel? its the printing service. | 04:00 |
| casa | so purging out removes it completely? | 04:01 |
| Younder | Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives console mode. Ctrl-Alt-F7 gives X windows mode. | 04:01 |
| mhall119 | cups is not a part of the kernel | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | 'purge' option removes the config files... | 04:01 |
| catvsrat | Dr Willis: | 04:01 |
| Gnarwal | I like $coffee with my _cups_ | 04:01 |
| Younder | you can goback and forth | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | as well as the binaries/program files | 04:01 |
| catvsrat | thanks | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnarwal: DD cups. :) | 04:01 |
| casa | ya Dr.Willis i understand that. i absolutely don want priting support on my machine | 04:02 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders why bother with removing cups. | 04:02 | |
| Dr_Willis | casa: dont plug in a printer then? | 04:02 |
| mhall119 | Younder, to clarify, Linux provides virtual terminals on Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F12 (I think F12) | 04:02 |
| mhall119 | X11 will usually run on F7 | 04:02 |
| mhall119 | but if you have multiple X sessions, they will also be on F8, F9, etc | 04:02 |
| mhall119 | casa, just don't set the cuspd to run | 04:03 |
| casa | i have a lexmark printer and itd on the desktop so all printing is done there. my notebook does'nt need it. removing cups is to remove it from updates | 04:03 |
| nickkontos | help you guys! im on a tty4 shell (?) and my tty7 is "out of range" for my screen. i am running a game with wine and it has changed my display to 65hz! | 04:03 |
| mhall119 | casa, it may also prevent you from saving to postscript or pdf | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | casa: and what are you expecting to gain from all this? | 04:03 |
| casa | a minimal system and save a little bandwidth. | 04:04 |
| nickkontos | is there any keyboard shortcut to close the running application (or to kill) | 04:04 |
| mhall119 | casa, cups isn't going to gain you much of either | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | casa: i doubt if you will save much of anything. | 04:04 |
| keastes | the one from xchat.org | 04:05 |
| casa | oh. well then i will disable the service and leave it there. thank you for your time and insights Dr.Willis and mhall119 | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | i doubt if disabling the service will gain much of anythign either. :) but have fun | 04:06 |

| webbb82 | hey i installed a bunch of repos in ubuntu-tweak and they always worked but all out of nowhere i get a bunch of errror messages about them missng keys , where did they keys go | 04:06 |
| webbb82 | ?? | 04:06 |
| mhall119 | ubuntu-tweak? | 04:06 |
| mhall119 | never heard of it | 04:06 |
| lost_in_space | i have | 04:07 |
| casa | oh ok mhall119. | 04:07 |
| lost_in_space | and it's a useless program to group all common tasks into one menu | 04:07 |
| mhall119 | oh | 04:07 |
| webbb82 | why would they keys dissapere | 04:07 |
| townkat | can anyone help please to get my rt2500 based usb wireless dongle to suport master mode ? i tought rt2x00 drivers do that but it seam that i use them and they do not , thnx alot | 04:07 |
| lost_in_space | go system > adminstration > software sources | 04:07 |
| mhall119 | webbb82, maybe they just created new ones | 04:07 |
| lost_in_space | there's a place to add the key's | 04:07 |
| mhall119 | maybe the old keys were compromised, or had an expiration date | 04:07 |
| Gnarwal | webbb82, third party repos are not maintained by ubuntu. Use at your own risk. | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | maybe they changed their keys :P | 04:08 |
| nickkontos | anyone? i want to get back to my gnome desktop! i'm in a tty shell... | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | to make u update and know u updated | 04:08 |
| nickkontos | running sirc | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | startx | 04:08 |
| mhall119 | webbb82, the missing keys error means they packages are signed by a key that you haven't trusted yet | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | or ctrl alt f8 | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | or seven | 04:08 |
| scunizi | webbb82: if the 3rd party repos are ppa on launchpad they may have changed directories and keys | 04:08 |
| lost_in_space | or whatever | 04:08 |
| webbb82 | ok | 04:08 |
| webbb82 | thanks | 04:08 |
| Gnarwal | nickkontos, have you tried killall nameofprogram.exe | 04:08 |
| etzerd | hello all | 04:09 |
| mhall119 | webbb82, just make sure that the new keys belong to the developers before you trust them | 04:09 |
| lost_in_space | ^^ | 04:09 |
| etzerd | I have a webcam on my HP laptop, how can I get it to work? | 04:09 |
| lost_in_space | usually software came with the laptop | 04:09 |
| etzerd | I mean which software that I can download to work with it? | 04:09 |
| lost_in_space | look in the start menus | 04:09 |
| mhall119 | it's unlikely, but possible, that someone has gained unauthorized access to the ubuntu-tweak repository and uploaded modified, malicisous packages | 04:09 |
| lost_in_space | hp look for hp cam in the same area | 04:10 |
| lost_in_space | or video | 04:10 |
| lost_in_space | etc | 04:10 |

| lost_in_space | aak | 04:10 |
| lost_in_space | nvm | 04:10 |
| nickkontos | lost_in_space tty7 is where a wine application has set a resolution that my screen can't show... and startx only returns an error ofcourse, 'cause it's already running | 04:10 |
| mhall119 | nickkontos, if your X session can't be displayed, there's not much you can do to get back to it | 04:11 |
| mhall119 | I'm not sure how to change the refresh from the cli | 04:11 |
| etzerd | ubottu: I saw the list of makers, but HP is not listed | 04:11 |
| mhall119 | maybe something in xrandr | 04:11 |
| nickkontos | mhall119 how about killing x? | 04:12 |
| Alan502 | how to set the blue inline input of my audio card for the speakers? In windows it would be easy with it's sound manager | 04:12 |
| mhall119 | that's not exactly getting back to it, but if it's an acceptable solution go for it | 04:12 |
| nickkontos | mhall119 only if I knew how... | 04:12 |
| Limeflame | I set *.rb file to open with text editor (in properties), why does it keep saying "It's an executable file do you want to run it?" when i open it? | 04:13 |
| mhall119 | nickkontos, sudo service gdm restart | 04:13 |
| scunizi | Alan502: that would be for the side speakers? | 04:13 |
| nickkontos | ok trying.... | 04:13 |
| scunizi | *rear? | 04:13 |
| mhall119 | alternately, xrandr will let you change refresh rates from the command line | 04:13 |
| Limeflame | it's ubuntu 9.10+ nautilus | 04:13 |
| Alan502 | scunizi, i use the green output for my headphones, and the blue one for speakers, the one for the side speakers i guess | 04:14 |
| nickkontos | mhall119 thanks! | 04:14 |
| scunizi | Alan502: ah.. I bought a cheap switch that the headphones plug into.. hit a button and headphones.. hit it again and speakers.. about $14.. I've never been able to get the other channel on my card working.. :( | 04:15 |

| kneeskrap3r | rofl | 04:16 |
| Alan502 | scunizi, i could on windows! hahaha anyway, i like them in both speakers and headphones | 04:16 |
| * SudoKing gives kneeskrap3r a sandwich | 04:16 | |
| * kneeskrap3r is eagerly accepting and consuming said sandwich, and appreciates SudoKing's humor | 04:17 | |
| scunizi | Alan502: I never really put a lot of time into it.. if your card is recognized there is typically a way.. ask, research, google, forums etc.. | 04:17 |
| Gnarwal | if sandwich = good, then eat, else feed to dog | 04:17 |
| kneeskrap3r | Alan what card is it? | 04:17 |
| kneeskrap3r | rofl | 04:17 |
| Alan502 | well, ok thanks :) | 04:17 |
| kneeskrap3r | your name reminds me of the song | 04:17 |
| kneeskrap3r | I therefore hate you (joke) | 04:18 |
| scunizi | kneeskrap3r: when you type Alan it won't highlight him.. type Alan<TAB> for auto completion :) | 04:18 |

| mediaprodigy | Does trendnet Wireless N USB adapter work with Ubuntu | 04:24 |
| mediaprodigy | ?* | 04:24 |
| joshua___ | Hilikus: supposibly not these days but I'd hate to test it | 04:25 |
| bastid_raZor | !hardware | mediaprodigy look here: | 04:25 |
| mindvirus | I have a list of packages that I need to reinstall. However, other packages depend on them and if I do apt-get remove <packages> then these packages will be removed as well. Is there any reinstall command? | 04:25 |
| ubottu | mediaprodigy look here:: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 04:25 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: one way to find out.. boot the live cd with the wireless adaptor plugged in.. | 04:25 |
| MikeChelen | mindvirus: try apt-get install --reinstall | 04:25 |
| mediaprodigy | so restart with the wireless card plugged in | 04:26 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: yes.. and no ethernet cable plugged in.. ubuntu or kubuntu? | 04:26 |
| mindvirus | MikeChelen: Do you mind if I explain my situation to you? | 04:26 |
| mediaprodigy | no internet access other than wireless.. | 04:26 |
| MikeChelen | mindvirus: sure, try to describe it best you can. someone else might also see & know the answer :) | 04:27 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: right.. if you have any encryption enabled on the router .. good to disable for the test.. also make sure ssid broadcast is on | 04:28 |
| mediaprodigy | the live cd... you are referring to the install cd | 04:28 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: yes.. the one that comes up with a full desktop | 04:28 |
| Gnewt | I currently have a single drive partition with LVM. Would I be able to add a second drive for RAID0 without reinstalling? | 04:28 |
| mindvirus | MikeChelen: Well, I got a PPA with updated packages -- namely, xorg-edgers. I removed the PPA because it caused crashes. I am trying to roll back the versions to these packages. When I do apt-get install --reinstall, it says the packages cannot be downloaded (because the PPA isn't on my computer anymore). | 04:28 |
| Gnewt | partitioned* | 04:28 |
| mindvirus | Is there any way to install the most recent functional version? | 04:29 |
| mediaprodigy | ok.. out of curiosity.. why off the cd | 04:29 |
| mediaprodigy | thanks for the help by the way. | 04:29 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: well.. if it's already installed then do it with that.. didn't know if you had installed. | 04:30 |
| mediaprodigy | it's installed.. but am not very agile at ubuntu yet. | 04:30 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: it's a steep learning curve but worth it.. | 04:31 |
| MikeChelen | mindvirus: maybe check the version number you want, and see if there is an apt-get option to specify that version? the synaptic program might help too | 04:31 |
| mediaprodigy | can someone explain to me the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu... | 04:32 |
| blakkheim | mediaprodigy: gnome and kde | 04:32 |
| Quan-Time_ | mediaprodigy: ubuntu has gnome GUI, kbuntu has KDE | 04:32 |
| Quan-Time_ | gui = graphical user interface | 04:33 |
| mediaprodigy | what is better? | 04:33 |
| Remi-o | gnome | 04:33 |
| blakkheim | lol | 04:33 |
| townkat | make | 04:33 |
| Gnewt | mediaprodigy: I personally prefer GNOME, but it's an opinion thing | 04:33 |
| Quan-Time_ | umm.. thats like saying "which planet is your favourite".. its all subjective | 04:33 |
| Remi-o | if your gonna use kde stay on windows | 04:33 |
| mediaprodigy | i c | 04:33 |
| Quan-Time_ | i personally prefer openbox | 04:33 |
| Quan-Time_ | which is different again | 04:33 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: you can have both and choose on boot if you want | 04:33 |
| Quan-Time_ | mediaprodigy: are you comming from windows based machine ? | 04:33 |
| mediaprodigy | no.. mac | 04:33 |
| Suncross | Purpley1: Hey, are you there? | 04:33 |
| mediaprodigy | my mac died | 04:33 |
| Gnewt | Gnome == Mac... | 04:34 |
| mediaprodigy | and I did not want to go to windows | 04:34 |
| Gnewt | they're the "equivalent" interfaces | 04:34 |
| scunizi | mediaprodigy: kubuntu is more like mac in a lot of ways.. | 04:34 |
| Quan-Time_ | mediaprodigy: just have a look at the screen shots.. but gnome would be "close" | 04:34 |
| Quan-Time_ | obviously theres some differences. but it would feel some what "familiar" to you | 04:34 |
| mediaprodigy | im trying to work in ror | 04:34 |
| KiRiLoS | Gnewt, well i would say not at all :/ | 04:34 |
| Remi-o | karmic is nice and all but jaunty seems alot more stable | 04:34 |
| Gnewt | KiRiLoS: regarding what? | 04:34 |
| KiRiLoS | [06:34:48] <Gnewt> Gnome == Mac... | 04:35 |
| Gnewt | ah | 04:35 |
| mediaprodigy | does that mean | 04:35 |
| mediaprodigy | that i can install mac type apps? | 04:35 |
| Gnewt | no | 04:35 |
| === Remi-o is now known as HBX | ||
| KiRiLoS | It's definately closer than the default kde but you know,there's really a difference :P | 04:35 |
| Gnewt | I just personally think that Gnome is closer to the Mac interface | 04:35 |
| Gnewt | other people seem to disagree ;) | 04:35 |
| Gnewt | but I prefer Gnome anyways so I am biased | 04:36 |
| bullgard | What is the most elementary command line command to find out if an audio CD is inserted in the tray of the CD/DVD drive? | 04:36 |

| Gnewt | bullgard: | 04:36 |
| Gnewt | you could just check for the filetype... usually | 04:36 |

| danny | ive been trying to get it to work but its telling me i need to enable dual-Tmu support | 04:37 |
| dark | i know about the wine site, i was just asking a useless question keastes | 04:38 |
| kneeskrap3r | Having used all systems extensively, and this requiring my opinion: GNOME == GNOME, MAC ~ KDE, TERMINAL = win, W7 = ... W7 | 04:38 |
| vegombrei | scunizi: is there a significant performance difference? | 04:38 |
| keastes | dark yes, i used it before my computer died | 04:38 |
| Gnewt | Does anybody know if you can convert an existing LVM partition to RAID without copying data? | 04:39 |
| Gnewt | er | 04:39 |
| Gnewt | basically | 04:39 |
| Gnewt | expand from one drive to two mirrored drives | 04:39 |
| scunizi | vegombrei: nominal.. it just feels different.. programs are different.. terminology can be a bit different because of the technology used in the desktop | 04:39 |
| dark | Gnarwal, i think that raid and lvm can coexist | 04:39 |
| Gnewt | dark: Gnewt ;) | 04:39 |
| dark | hehehe sorry | 04:40 |
| Gnewt | dark: Basically, I have a single-disk LVM partition and I'm wondering if I can mirror it | 04:40 |
| Gnewt | RAID0 | 04:40 |
| dark | and maybe if you mirror one hd to another (with dd?) you could build a raid | 04:40 |
| Gnewt | so, LVM on top of RAID | 04:40 |
| Gnewt | hmm | 04:40 |
| Gnewt | maybe | 04:40 |
| dark | i don't know if raid0 is just two copies | 04:40 |
| joshua___ | is there some reason apt really really does not like package upstart missing? | 04:41 |
| dark | i think there is also an error-correcting code behind the scenes | 04:41 |
| dark | joshua___, that's maybe because upstart is part of the boot process | 04:41 |
| Spiderman | Until just recently I had only been holding on to Vista for the webcam, but yesterday Vista decided to tell me it was over by crashing and I am just curious if there is any solution to my problem. I have an Asus c90s and the webcam doesn't work when I go into a terminal and type lsusb I get "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e3:0503 Genesys Logic, Inc." which I believe to be the webcam. I am using Ubuntu 9.10. | 04:41 |
| dark | there is sites to check the compatibility with linux (in general) | 04:42 |
| joshua___ | in a chroot jail I don't think so | 04:42 |
| keastes | can a dircetory be symlinked? | 04:42 |
| joshua___ | keastes: yes | 04:42 |
| dark | if it's compatible but don't work out of box maybe you have to compile the driver yourself etc | 04:42 |
| lstarnes | keastes: a directory can be the target of a symlink | 04:43 |
| scunizi | Spiderman: sometimes it helps to google "Genesys Logic Ubuntu" | 04:43 |
| vitaminc | jlasjglajla | 04:43 |
| dark | <Gnewt> you really want raid0? | 04:44 |
| dark | no redundancy? | 04:44 |
| dark | if you want raid0, then it's better to simply add the other disk to the volume group | 04:44 |
| mediaprodigy_ | so i rebooted and nothing | 04:44 |
| AvonGenesis | Is anyone familar with Upside down ternet? | 04:44 |

| ubottu | AvonGenesis: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 04:45 |
| usser | Gnewt, raid is not a backup | 04:45 |
| Gnewt | well | 04:45 |
| Gnewt | not a backup per se | 04:45 |
| Real_Ubot | I disabled the ssh option in gconfig-editor -> apps -> gnome-keyring. Now I have to always enter the password to login to my ssh server. Why isn't ssh-add doing the jobb ater I disabled the gnome-keyring? | 04:45 |
| Gnewt | but a way of keeping my data if my drive dies | 04:46 |
| vegombrei | i have 3x1 tb hdds sda-ext3 sdb-fat32 sdc-ext3 .. been using ubuntu since a few months now .. however i need to install win7 for the gf, if i installed it on sdb, will win7 sort out the mbr and gimme somekinda bootloading options??? | 04:46 |
| dark | Gnewt, then you want raid 1 (raid 0 gives you the full size, raid 1 writes everything twice) | 04:46 |
| mediaprodigy_ | brb | 04:46 |
| Gnewt | Oops | 04:46 |
| Gnewt | yes, I want RAID1 | 04:46 |
| mezquitale | vegombrei, seriously doubt it | 04:46 |
| maohengcong | ririiryo | 04:46 |
| anon_ | i agree | 04:47 |
| dark | Gnewt, maybe you could consider making backups with lvm "snapshot" feature (maybe with cron etc) | 04:47 |
| anon_ | dont think its possible | 04:47 |
| bullgard | Gnewt: What do you mean by: "you could just check for the filetype... usually"? | 04:47 |
| Gnewt | dark: thanks :) | 04:47 |

| maohengcong | hello zhen_zhou | 04:48 |
| kneeskrap3r | Gnewt: you only running two drives? | 04:48 |
| kneeskrap3r | I recommend RAID 5 or 6 | 04:48 |

| vegombrei | mezquitale: then how do i install this succesfully | 04:49 |
| Gnewt | My requirements: to still have data if a drive dies; to be able to convert to this RAID without losing all my data | 04:49 |
| mezquitale | gemilang, did you uninstall network manager or did you get rid of the icon? | 04:49 |

| doneill | i've checked, but pulse is only running once | 04:49 |
| bullgard | gemilang: Often you get it back by quitting NetworkManager and restarting it. | 04:49 |
| gemilang | mezquitale, some one has lossing it. then i can find how to get it back | 04:50 |

| Dracofodder | I am having trouble getting my camera connected to ubuntu 9.10, f-spot is kicking an error 60. I am able to skip by this and access the drive directly, but neither f-spot nor digikam are able to download images directly. anyone have any ideas? Searching thru the bug lists I See many many similar issues, but am not sure what to try | 04:50 |
| kneeskrap3r | something | 04:50 |
| dark | chinese is #ubuntu-ch ? | 04:50 |
| mezquitale | vegombrei, i have never installed windows last, generally windows wants to be in the master drive in the MBR, it will erase grub and youll only be able to boot up to windows, youll have to reinstall grub2 | 04:50 |
| scunizi | keastes: cn is china | 04:51 |
| dark | !cn | maohengcong | 04:51 |
| ubottu | maohengcong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 04:51 |
| mezquitale | gemilang, what do you mean "lossing it"? do you have a laptop or desktop? | 04:51 |
| keastes | scunizi: i used ch the bot acted as if i used de | 04:51 |
| mindvirus | Any suggestions? How to install a specific version of a package? | 04:51 |
| bullgard | Gnewt: '~$ cd /dcrom: ls' does obtain no output. What does this indicate? | 04:51 |
| doneill | mindvirus: specify =0.1.2Ubuntu3 or somesuch after the install line | 04:51 |
| Gnewt | /cdrom | 04:51 |
| Gnewt | not /dcrom | 04:51 |
| scunizi | keastes: that must be a shortcut for another germanic based country | 04:52 |
| Gnewt | and ; | 04:52 |
| Gnewt | not : | 04:52 |
| FloodBot4 | Gnewt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:52 |
| doneill | mindvirus: eg: apt-get install pulseaudio=1.0r3 | 04:52 |
| Gnewt | bullgard: cd /cdrom; ls | 04:52 |
| dark | @_@ what about ls /cdrom ? | 04:52 |
| bullgard | Gnewt: (typo) '~$ cd /cdrom: ls' does obtain no output. What does this indicate? | 04:52 |
| Gnewt | bullgard: ; not : | 04:52 |
| Gnewt | bullgard: cd /cdrom; ls | 04:52 |
| dark | @.2 | 04:52 |
| scunizi | bullgard: try .. ls /media/cdrom0 | 04:52 |
| Alan502 | #ubuntu-sv | 04:53 |
| Gnewt | thanks scunizi | 04:53 |
| scunizi | sure :) | 04:53 |
| gemilang | mezquitale, i meant the icon on the top panel is loss | 04:54 |
| gemilang | mezquitale, i meant the icon network manager on the top panel is lost | 04:54 |
| gemilang | how to get it back? | 04:54 |
| bullgard | scunizi: '~$ ls /media/cdrom0' does obtain no output. What does this indicate? | 04:54 |
| doneill | why... does ubuntu ship with pulse... | 04:55 |
| doneill | seriously | 04:55 |
| mezquitale | gemilang, add it back, rigt click on the panel "add to panel"-->"application launcher", it's under-->system-->administration->network, in my ubuntu studio distro | 04:55 |
| doneill | it's like ordering a sandwich and having it arrive with a complimentary dogend on top of it. | 04:55 |
| mindvirus | doneill: Thanks. | 04:55 |
| mezquitale | doneill, that's a good question, youll have to ask the ubuntu developers, its was implemented quite bad in ubuntu, pulse audio makes my desktop and laptop cry | 04:56 |
| doneill | my pulse audio log is telling me my snd_hda_intel driver has a bug. yeah, it does, because i have an SB Audigy... | 04:56 |
| mezquitale | doneill, i suggest you fild a bug report using launchpad | 04:57 |
| doneill | nah. --purge. | 04:57 |
| doneill | like i did with avahi. | 04:57 |
| mezquitale | doneill, is there a way to purge npviewer as well? | 04:58 |
| bullgard | Gnewt: '~$ cd /cdrom; ls' does obtain no output. What can I conclude? | 04:58 |
| doneill | haha man i hear you | 04:58 |
| scunizi | doneill: my kubuntu install tonight disabled sound after all the updates.. I found that pulse hadn't been installed at all.. after installing it worked with my nvidia chipset.. wierd | 04:58 |
| Gnewt | That your cdrom drive is not mounted at /cdrom... | 04:58 |
| joshua___ | Here's a really nasty bug for you: running do-release-upgrade inside a chroot jail will clobber your bootloader | 04:58 |
| doneill | i can improve my PC performance i million fold with killall npviewer | 04:58 |
| doneill | skunizi: that's the catch, if i remove pulse, i have to rebuild all the apps i have that use it exclusively. | 04:59 |
| scunizi | Gnewt: is he still having issues getting a directory listing at /media/cdrom0? might be /media/cdrom | 04:59 |
| Gnewt | scunizi: thanks | 04:59 |
| Gnewt | bullgard: try replacing /cdrom with /media/cdrom | 04:59 |
| scunizi | bullgard: if that doesn't work use /media/cdrom0 ... unless you're trying to get to the guest additions for virtualbox.. then it's a bit different | 05:00 |
| jolaren | 23 | 05:01 |
| bullgard | Gnewt: '~$ cd /media/cdrom; ls' does obtain no output. What can I conclude? | 05:01 |
| scunizi | bullgard: if you have more than on cdrom then /media/cdrom1 is typically the second | 05:01 |
| scunizi | bullgard: that you're *doing it wrong* | 05:01 |
| scunizi | or the drive is dead | 05:02 |
| jolaren | Im trying to setup my remote in lirc but it says the deamon isnt running.. | 05:02 |
| jolaren | How do I enable the daemon, if this is the case? | 05:02 |
| doneill | jolaren: you can run it by hand | 05:02 |
| doneill | jolaren: try running lircd from the prompt | 05:02 |
| bullgard | scunizi: I do not use any virtualization software. | 05:03 |
| scunizi | k | 05:03 |
| jolaren | doneill, no such file or directory | 05:03 |

| Wavesonics | aarrrggg... i just reorganized everything to get my WiFi router up on the wall, away from everythign, same w\ my wireless mediacenter, tweaked the wifi settings, everything to try and get a solid 19.1 Mbps between the two. Because thats what I need to stream 1080p. But I just can't get it, resting between 17-18Mbps. Is there maybe some way I could compress the stream or something? | 05:03 |
| bullgard | scunizi: I do not use more than one cd/dvd drive. | 05:03 |
| bastid_raZor | bullgard: possibly /media/sr0 .. my drive is linked by that | 05:03 |
| CodeTBone | Hey when I restart while running off a liveCD to boot my native OS when It says remove disc and press enter, when I press enter all I get is a '^M' at the prompt, any reason why and I got out of it by doing CTRL+ALT+DEL and then holding the power button, is that safe? | 05:03 |
| joshua___ | CodeTBone: yes | 05:04 |
| scunizi | bullgard: ok.. so what happens when you "cd /media/cdrom0" then issue a ... ls | 05:04 |
| doneill | jolaren: hm, mythbuntu? | 05:04 |
| joshua___ | CodeTBone; what it would do after press enter is kill system power anyway | 05:04 |
| jolaren | doneill, No, ubuntu | 05:04 |
| CodeTBone | Cool, yeah It should but it doesnt, any idea why? | 05:04 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, what router and client hardware??? | 05:05 |
| Gnarwal | sudo apt-get update | 05:05 |
| Gnarwal | vcdssgf | 05:05 |
| bullgard | scunizi: I do not understand your message: 'that you're *doing it wrong*'. Can you say it in other words, please? | 05:05 |
| doneill | jolaren: well, without lircd, i don't imagine you'll get much from your IR device. unless it created a /dev/input/eventX device, in which case you would just inform lirc to use that instead. | 05:05 |
| lotus | hey is UNR any better in 9.04 than in 9.10? I have an asus eeePC and the wireless didn't get detected. | 05:05 |
| CodeTBone | All the other LiveCDs ive used have all shutdown fine | 05:05 |
| scunizi | bullgard: are you trying to look at the files on your cdrom? | 05:05 |
| lotus | Is it sane to put a full version of ubuntu 9.10 on the netbook and install netbook specific kernel? Will that give me the same optimizations as UNR? | 05:05 |
| jolaren | doneill, xbmc picks it up fine thought | 05:06 |
| bullgard | bastid_raZor: I'd like to do exact work and no guesswork. Sorry to say that. | 05:06 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> Router: D-Link 108G, File Server: Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64bit, custom hardware, hardwired into the router., MediaCenter: ASRock 330HT-BD Windows 7 Pro 64bit (XBMC, Boxee, WMC, i got em all ;) ) | 05:06 |
| === jeremy is now known as Jkessler | ||
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> The D-Link also has a 8Db antena slapped on it, and is on the best channle for my location here | 05:07 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, what is the actual device in the Windows client? | 05:07 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> and B is disabled, only G is broadcasting | 05:08 |
| doneill | jolaren: then likely it is providing keyboard events :) in which case, you don't/shouldn't need lirc. | 05:08 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> You mean the WiFi in the ASRock? It's integrated, on board | 05:08 |
| bullgard | scunizi: What I am trying, I have clearly stated at the outset: I'd like to find out if an audio CD is inserted in the tray of the CD/DVD drive. | 05:08 |
| jolaren | now I cant even run LIRC | 05:08 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, including antenna? or is it just a stock duck or? | 05:09 |
| p1und3r | does anyone know how i can force ubuntu to boot to tty rather than gui? | 05:09 |
| bastid_raZor | bullgard: /dev/sr0 .. not media | 05:09 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: don't use gdm | 05:09 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> no it's completely internal, no antenna, and from what i can tell, no way to hook one up | 05:09 |
| scunizi | bullgard: well.. I wasn't around at the outset.. you won't get a listing of an audio cd.. open Rhythmbox or another player and see if you can play the cd.. to rip it to your harddrive use ripperx | 05:09 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, I've used a few onboards and they usually won't run at the specs... I highly recommend a solid PCI or at least a USB adaptor, either one with an external antenna | 05:09 |
| mediaprodigy_ | so the wireless n trendnet usb adapter.. plugged in and rebooted ubuntu nothing happened.. | 05:09 |
| Tonisius | Got a problem restarting my comp, each time I "Reboot" my system, it hangs at the end, where it should powercycle, forcing me to manually power cycle it, but on each startup, it's having to do an fsck, no text during the reboot process, any ideas on what I could do or what would resolve this? | 05:10 |
| doneill | this is garbage. i have to literally edit FIVE config files, as root, then configure the audio output devices in 3 different applications to get my audio to work. | 05:10 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, sounds like you have a solid enough router setup though, props for turning .11B off | 05:10 |
| Tonisius | Using Koala Karmic | 05:10 |
| mediaprodigy_ | will partioning the hd and installing windows.. installing the wireles card then intstall ubuntu | 05:10 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> hhmmmm very interesting, i have a USB G laying around i think, let me give it a try, thx! | 05:10 |
| bullgard | scunizi: I see. Rhythmbox certainly is not the most elemetary command for doing this. | 05:10 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: where can i specify that? i'm looking in startup applications | 05:10 |
| mediaprodigy_ | will that make a difference | 05:10 |
| Wavesonics | <kneeskrap3r> thx :D | 05:10 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: it's a daemon, install something like rcconf to change it | 05:10 |
| kneeskrap3r | Wavesonics, any time... and keep me posted, I like it when extensive years as a wireless engineer for HP can pay off still :P | 05:11 |
| scunizi | bullgard: not a command.. a program listed at Applications>Sound & Video | 05:11 |
| danny | How do i update my xorg.conf to my coputers settings? | 05:11 |
| done365 | Why is an upgrade of Karmic so heavy and slow on the same configuration that Jaunty was so slim and fast?? | 05:11 |
| orudie | hi. how do i exctract a .bz2 file in terminal ? | 05:11 |
| blakkheim | orudie: tar xvjf filename | 05:12 |

| bullgard | bastid_raZor: '~$ cd /dev/sr0; bash: cd: /dev/sr0: Not a directory' | 05:12 |
| done365 | Should I have just done a clean install of KArmic? | 05:12 |
| wolvenreign | Why is Ubuntu so awesome? | 05:12 |
| ardchoille | blakkheim: don't need the "j" with tar anymore | 05:12 |
| joshua___ | apt--get | 05:12 |
| joshua___ | I think you still do if it's a seekable device | 05:13 |
| joshua___ | ^ not a seekable | 05:13 |
| bullgard | scunizi: I know that already. This does not answer the question which I put here in this channel. | 05:13 |
| mediaprodigy_ | can someone help me. with a wireless n usb adapter | 05:13 |
| danny | How do i update my xorg.conf to my coputers settings? | 05:13 |
| blakkheim | !repeat | danny | 05:13 |
| ubottu | danny: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:13 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: when i run rcconf, gdm isn't enabled | 05:13 |
| scunizi | bullgard: at this point I came in after your question.. and now I'm tired of helping with this.. good luck | 05:14 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: you could just aptitude remove gdm | 05:14 |
| courpse | How to copy directorys that doesnt exist in target folder? | 05:14 |
| bullgard | scunizi: Thank you. | 05:14 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: im setting up an ubuntu server for the first time and i wanna use tty but im still new and wanna keep the safety of gnome | 05:14 |
| joshua___ | courpse: cp -R | 05:14 |
| ardchoille | courpse: you cannot copy a directory that doesn't actually exist | 05:14 |
| done365 | How do I get the functionality of jaunty back after doing an upgrade to karmic | 05:14 |
| courpse | That will ask to overwrite if directory/file exists? | 05:14 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: you can keep gnome | 05:15 |
| courpse | ardchoille, If you re-read my question, i said that doesnt exist in target folder, :P | 05:15 |
| joshua___ | done365: what did you lose? | 05:15 |
| done365 | Speed | 05:15 |
| ardchoille | courpse: perhaps you need to phrase your question a bit better :P | 05:15 |
| kneeskrap3r | so there was this one time at band camp... | 05:15 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: the only way i know how to start gnome is /etc/init.d/gdm start | 05:15 |
| jolaren | How do I run the lirc deamon? When trying to configure my remote It says it cant find the daemon | 05:15 |
| === Tyler is now known as Guest25807 | ||
| p1und3r | blakkheim: sounds like removing gdm removes that too | 05:15 |
| kneeskrap3r | and I cracked the WEP | 05:15 |
| courpse | ardchoille, perhaps you need to read the whole question. | 05:15 |
| kneeskrap3r | with an ubuntu netbook | 05:15 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: it would, but you could aptitude install gdm if you wanted it back | 05:15 |
| losha | bullguard: try: isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 | 05:16 |
| done365 | joshua: It hogs memory, everything is slower, I think that it is just a bad upgrade, and would like to go back, perhaps to do a clean install later | 05:16 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: rather than that i thought there would be a nice little config file somewhere oh well, ill hafta research | 05:16 |
| courpse | josh__, That will ask to overwrite directorys if they exist wont it? how do i make it only do dirs that doesnt exist in target? | 05:16 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: gdm should be listed in rcconf if it's running | 05:16 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: it's listed but it isn't checked | 05:16 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: try sysv-rc-conf | 05:17 |
| mediaprodigy_ | !hardware | 05:17 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 05:17 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: it's like rcconf but a little more advanced | 05:17 |
| crimsun | doneill: it's a shame you didn't at least *attempt* to resolve the issue with me, since I maintain those packages. | 05:18 |
| crimsun | doneill: but whatever, here's some rope. Have at it, and good luck. | 05:18 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: gdm is again listed with nothing enabled for it at all levels | 05:19 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: weird :O | 05:19 |
| blakkheim | p1und3r: hmm.. and it does boot to the graphical login when you restart? | 05:19 |
| p1und3r | y | 05:19 |
| p1und3r | blakkheim: yeah im gunna reboot again and see wut happens | 05:19 |

| Xfact | anybody can tell me shortly , What is 'Source Code'? | 05:24 |
| joshua___ | Tonisius: try maybe removing usplash and see if something important hides behind it | 05:24 |
| keastes | woodyjlw: why do you need to delete it , just use sudo del /usr/lib/mozilla/* && sudo del /usr/lib/mozilla | 05:24 |
| bean | Xfact: source code is the code that is written to compile a program | 05:24 |
| obaid | Tonisius, can you press "e" at grub and omit quit and splash and see if any error appears | 05:24 |
| dark | Xfact, the preferred form for editing a program | 05:24 |
| joshua___ | obaid: does that work for shutdown? | 05:24 |
| Maletor | I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? | 05:25 |
| obaid | nope, i thought are starting | 05:25 |
| Tonisius | obaid: ok, will try that | 05:25 |
| dark | Xfact, computer programs can have various forms; one can use a compiler to transform from one form to another. the form the computer usually recognizes is called object code, and the form the human beings usually write and read is called source code | 05:25 |
| Xfact | woha....ok ok sounds useful (9@%$ I didn't understand anything...) But thanks for describing.... :) | 05:26 |
| obaid | Tonisius, i couldnt understand ur problem, can u say again | 05:26 |
| dark | Xfact, main() { puts("hello"); } | 05:26 |
| dark | Xfact, this is the source code of a program that displays hello on the screen | 05:26 |
| dark | Xfact, but the computer doesn't run this directly, because the computer only runs instructions of a so-called "machine language" | 05:27 |
| woodyjlw | keastes, sudo: del: command not found, firefox is messed up and I think it is plugins | 05:27 |
| keastes | dark just call it assembly | 05:27 |
| danny | obaid, do i type that in terminal? | 05:28 |
| keastes | !del | 05:28 |
| Tonisius | obaid: rebooting the system, it never reboots... I can shut down the system using "shutdown -h now" but I can't reboot using the " | 05:28 |
| Tonisius | using the "reboot" command, it hangs | 05:28 |
| Maletor | I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? | 05:28 |
| obaid | danny, looks like you have installed ubuntu server edition in some PC or something, is that correct ? | 05:28 |
| woodyjlw | keastes, can not attach in yahoo mail and will freeze up when playing utube video | 05:28 |
| keastes | what is the *nix equivilent of dlel | 05:28 |
| keastes | del* | 05:28 |
| Xfact | dark: well, the main story is I want to download Filezilla 3.3.1 from it's website...it's giving 2 options...one 'tar.gz' archive, and second is to download it's source code.... which I should dload? (I just want that program..) | 05:29 |
| spO | how do i find all my emptry directories | 05:29 |
| dark | keastes, i think i had a professor that preferred this term, but it was on portuguese ("Linguagem de Máquina") | 05:29 |
| danny | obaid, no i have desktop editions | 05:29 |
| ardchoille | keastes: rm | 05:29 |
| spO | and how do i list all my directories without the files in them | 05:29 |
| keastes | ardchoille: thanks | 05:29 |
| dark | Xfact, couldn't you use synaptic instead? | 05:29 |
| keastes | woodyjlw: use rm in place of del | 05:29 |
| keastes | woodyjlw: DOS commands tend to creep into my mind sorry | 05:29 |
| dark | Xfact, installing programs from source code can be tedious and even arcane. but installing from another form that is not .deb might don't work at all | 05:30 |
| Xfact | but synpathic giving old version...(3.0) cause I am using Hardy | 05:30 |
| obaid | danny, so why do u want to configure Xorg, ubuntu does that | 05:30 |
| dark | Xfact, did you searched for backports? | 05:30 |
| jolaren | When running lirc I get these errors in the terminal | 05:30 |
| danny | obaid, i was looking online and peoples xorg.conf is alot logger than mine i think its missing some data | 05:31 |
| Maletor | I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? | 05:31 |
| woodyjlw | keastes, lol np but...rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins': Is a directory | 05:31 |
| jolaren | I cant copy them but they say I have alot of duplicates.. things are listed twice | 05:31 |
| dark | Xfact, a program compiled to an operating system might not work on another. so if you don't have a version compiled for ubuntu hardy, you maybe will have to build from source | 05:31 |
| Xfact | dark: What is backport? (I am totally new in linux...knowledge less) | 05:31 |
| Tonisius | obaid: removed the quiet/splash, rebuilt my grub's menu.lst to reflect this, I also turned off gdm before issuing a reboot. I get no errors, and all I have is: | 05:31 |
| ardchoille | danny: if you're using Karmic, xorg.conf isn't really used anymore, though you can create one if needed | 05:31 |
| obaid | danny, as long as your Xorg is working fine, a big xorg.conf or small one doesnt matter | 05:31 |
| keastes | woodyjlw: use gksudo nautilus and then delete them that way | 05:32 |
| timfrost | woodyjlw: sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 05:32 |
| bastid_raZor | woodyjlw: rm -r will delete directories | 05:32 |
| obaid | danny, anyway if you want Xorg to configure itself, backup your xorg.conf first, then in terminal type sudo Xorg -configure | 05:32 |
| Xfact | dark: hummm.... complicated, well, thanks for try, I think I should be happy with old version :) | 05:32 |
| Tonisius | * Shutting down also... * Deconfiguring network interfaces... *Deactivating swap... * Will now restart [90.419613] Restarting System. _ | 05:32 |
| danny | obaid, i was looking online how to enable composite extention how do i edit and save my xorg.conf | 05:32 |
| woodyjlw | thanks that worked :) | 05:32 |
| Tonisius | danny: xorg.conf overides the defaults used by the system, I had to work that out in my latest Karmic quad monitor display setup. | 05:33 |
| dark | Xfact, the program will never be updated on hardy, because ubuntu expect you to update everything at the same time (i.e. upgrade to another distro). but with a backport, you may use the new app on the old distro | 05:33 |
| ardchoille | woodyjlw: did you install those plugins via the package manager? | 05:33 |
| dark | Xfact, there is a synaptic repository called "hardy-backports", maybe you should give a try | 05:33 |
| Maletor | I'm installing rails on Ubuntu 9.10 - my desktop - where's the proper place to put my application? Should I use a symlink from /var/www ? | 05:33 |
| Tonisius | obaid: still hanging at the Restarting System message on the screen, no errors and such | 05:33 |
| danopia__ | Tonisius, why do you need 4 screens | 05:33 |
| danny | tonisius, it says sudo: xorg: command not found | 05:34 |
| woodyjlw | ardchoille, some but not all | 05:34 |
| Tonisius | danopia__: does it really matter? | 05:34 |
| danopia__ | no, it was just a question' | 05:34 |
| Tonisius | danny: it's not a command, but if you're using anything default in your Ubuntu installation, you have to create it yourself, since it doesn't exist | 05:34 |
| jolaren | is there a better way to configure lirc then with gnome-lirc-properties? | 05:34 |
| ardchoille | woodyjlw: if you install something from the package manager, then you should uninstall it from the package manager, removing the directory won't uninstall it | 05:34 |
| Tonisius | danopia__: It's a monitoring system, it's watching 12 different websites | 05:35 |
| dark | keastes, ah. being pedantic, machine language isn't quite the same thing as assembly language (and the difference was relevant in the context i was talking) | 05:35 |
| danopia__ | Tonisius, that just introduced more questions :P | 05:35 |
| woodyjlw | ardchoille, ok I will try there too | 05:35 |
| Tonisius | each monitor is watching 3 different websites. | 05:35 |
| danny | ardchoille, how do i enable the composite extension if the xorg file isnt used | 05:35 |
| Tonisius | danopia__: exactly, so it doesn't matter, I work in a NOC, and I am required to monitor a lot of diffferent graphs | 05:35 |
| keastes | dark as far as i know they are the same | 05:35 |
| drbe4t | hey could anyone help me with my update manager and why it won't update the linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic update | 05:35 |
| Tonisius | danny: you createa an xorg file so it can load the modules | 05:35 |
| ardchoille | danny: No idea, I don't waste time with compositing | 05:35 |
| danny | tonisius, how do i make it and where? | 05:36 |
| Tonisius | danny: read up on documentation, please ask in #Ubuntu | 05:36 |
| Xfact | dark: there no such file named hardy-backports in the synaptic..... | 05:36 |
| danopia__ | i never had to modify my xorg conf, nvidia's tool managed to generate a working one for dualscreens | 05:36 |
| drbe4t | a xorg? | 05:36 |
| Tonisius | danny: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html | 05:36 |
| danopia__ | i did change it once to set up dualseating, which was funcitonal but i never used it | 05:36 |
| Tonisius | danny: seriously read up on documentation, wish my Rebooting problem had documentation I could find. | 05:36 |
| Tonisius | danny: I use my setup all the time, I use 2 dual monitor setups at home for my 2 desktops, and linked via network with Synergy | 05:37 |
| dark | keastes, no, a program in assembly form must be assembled in order to work (programs written in assembly are a plain text describing the instructions; programs written in machine language are the instructions itself) | 05:37 |

| dark | wolter, the nvidia proprietary driver don't work with all cards (for example, the last version don't work with my own) | 05:44 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone does anyone have any experience getting ePSXe working with Ubuntu Karmic? | 05:44 |
| Voss | Does ubuntu use any of that intel compiled code? | 05:44 |
| dark | Voss, no | 05:45 |
| dark | Voss, the intel compiler is proprietary | 05:45 |
| scunizi | dark: wolter there are several version of the proprietary card. each one ment for a different series.. if you're card is older then it won't be in the 1xx. series but might be in the 96.xx series | 05:45 |
| dark | ubuntu generally compiles itself using gcc | 05:45 |

| deserteagle | gimme a sec | 05:47 |
| dark | Voss, it's ok for them to put better code on their machines. that's because each processor family have it's own optimization tricks, and it's hard to optimize for all (lots of specific cases). gcc, being more general, doesn't optmize as well as icc (or else icc wouldn't be very useful) | 05:47 |

| iGhost | oh god | 05:49 |
| Voss | dark, GCC that ubuntu uses is processor neutral, the intel compiler was using purposesly suboptimal compiling for non-intel even when a more optimal compiling was available for those cpus | 05:49 |
| scunizi | dark: just curious... I was thinking the 185 or 190 driver would still work for you and give better performance | 05:49 |

| timfrost | desynch: are other programs able to do DNS lookups correctly? Are you using a web proxy (and if so, is it correctly configured in BOTH synaptic AND in System->Preferences->Network Proxy)? | 06:19 |
| Voss | woody, ok then uninstall it completely | 06:19 |
| kinja-sheep | jolaren: Well, irw is a tester. :) | 06:19 |
| ardchoille | woodyjlw: That is because you removed the directory earlier, I told you that wasn't the proper way to uninstall them | 06:19 |
| jolaren | kinja-sheep, http://htpc.pandagor.com/uploads/777190.jpg | 06:19 |
| Voss | then reinstall it from adobe site | 06:19 |
| woodyjlw | how do I uninstall completely | 06:20 |
| Voss | woody, use synaptic | 06:20 |
| ardchoille | woodyjlw: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 06:20 |
| desynch | timfrost, yes | 06:20 |

| jolaren | kinja-sheep, And what kind of output should the irw give me? | 06:21 |
| Voss | were not talkng about removing the directory just uninstalling flash and reinstalling | 06:21 |

| genoobie | what does a simple linux /boot line look lke | 06:40 |
| genoobie | root=UUID? | 06:40 |
| genoobie | is that nec? | 06:40 |
| desynch | timfrost, it's not en_NZ it en_PH | 06:40 |
| ShawnC | Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? | 06:41 |
| genoobie | okay | 06:41 |
| luisgmarine | mneptok: man that still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to have to wait until i go to work or go for a ride and pay this myself at the store. | 06:41 |
| genoobie | my linux won't boot and I only have a few min to figure it out without a reinstall | 06:41 |
| genoobie | and I won't reinstall tonight | 06:41 |
| genoobie | suggestions on why the --set ID returns an error and it there a way to fix it? | 06:42 |
| kinja-sheep | jolaren: If I knew you were going to bombard me with the content, I'd refer you to http://pastebin.com/ in first place. >:}~ | 06:43 |
| nighteagle | hi | 06:43 |
| nighteagle | happy nex year | 06:43 |
| nighteagle | new* | 06:43 |
| nighteagle | please, can you tell me how to change font size, in empathy discussions? | 06:44 |
| jolaren | kinja-sheep, I know that, but yeah.. thought tihs would be easier | 06:44 |
| Voss | what is the set id error | 06:45 |
| timfrost | desynch: I know. I assume that the same thing applies for en_PH as for en_NZ. The worrying thing is 'Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ubuntu/dists/karmic-security/Release.gpg rename failed. No such file or directory ( -> /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net_pub_ubuntu_dists_karmic-security_Release.gpg)' - the source file exists, and the destination directory exists. That suggests permissions proble | 06:46 |
| Voss | tim, try changing source server where you download from | 06:47 |
| desynch | hmmm .. | 06:47 |
| desynch | so what must i do? | 06:47 |
| timfrost | desynch: what happens in a terminal with 'sudo apt-get update'? (Pastebin the output) | 06:47 |
| desynch | wait | 06:48 |
| ghostnik11 | I have a problem on my toshiba satellite 1005-s157, when i plug in my ethernet cord it does not light up | 06:48 |
| pdg1 | does anyone have a clue why my internal drive (/dev/sdb1) wouldn't show up automagically on my desktop after i edit fstab | 06:48 |
| genoobie | no you have to plug the power cord for it to light up :) | 06:48 |
| terminhell | How can i make cli output slower? and i dont mean "| less" | 06:49 |
| DaZ | terminhell: |more | 06:49 |
| DaZ | :3 | 06:49 |
| ghostnik11 | no i mean the ethernet port does not light up when i connect it from the router to the ethernet port on the toshiba satellite | 06:49 |
| terminhell | *slaps forehead | 06:49 |
| genoobie | no I know, jk | 06:49 |
| ghostnik11 | even the light on the router does not come up | 06:49 |
| Voss | ghost have you 1) tried a different cable? | 06:50 |
| desynch | timfrost, Sorry, your post tripped our spam/abuse filter - let us know if you think this could be improved | 06:50 |
| desynch | pastebin shit | 06:50 |
| ghostnik11 | yep doesn't work and since it is a old computer when i go and look at the specs it claims that the model i have does not have an ethernet port | 06:50 |
| ghostnik11 | but mine came with one | 06:51 |
| Voss | ghost, is your ethernet port a plug in card? | 06:51 |
| ghostnik11 | plug that is connected on the motherboard | 06:51 |
| desynch | timfrost, here http://p.linode.com/3362 | 06:52 |
| desynch | linode pastebin | 06:52 |
| desynch | it's all good eh | 06:52 |
| Thimag | Where is the LOG File from "Adept Batch" | 06:53 |
| Thimag | ADEPT BATCH removed packages without asking me | 06:53 |
| pdg1 | .or if anyone could point me in the direction of where to look for the solution. I don't even know where to start. internal hard drive installed 100% okay with Ubuntu. Xubuntu is giving me a challenge | 06:53 |
| Thimag | I need to see the log | 06:53 |
| lstarnes | Thimag: look around /var/log | 06:53 |
| Voss | ghost, your unit has a pcmcia slot doesnt it? | 06:53 |
| vegombrei | i have 3x1 tb hdds sda-ext3 sdb-fat32 sdc-ext3 .. been using ubuntu since a few months now .. however i need to install win7 for the gf, if i installed it on sdb, will win7 sort out the mbr and gimme somekinda bootloading options??? | 06:53 |
| lstarnes | Thimag: especially the logs for dpkg and apt | 06:53 |
| genoobie | ugh | 06:54 |
| genoobie | no end in sight here...reinstall? | 06:54 |
| pdg1 | vegombrei, why do you HAVE to install windows :P ? | 06:54 |
| ghostnik11 | yeah but the thing is my wireless pcmcia card is on campus and i am home for break | 06:54 |
| ghostnik11 | voss your talking about the wireless card that i can plug in right | 06:54 |
| Voss | ghost, they do have wired pcmcia cards you can plug in at home | 06:54 |
| timfrost | desynch: that looks OK. the 'ign' for the Translation-en_PH files indicates that there aren't any translations for that English locale. | 06:54 |
| slide23 | How do i set Sun Java Runtime first instead of the OpenJDK Runtime? | 06:55 |
| Voss | yes | 06:55 |
| ghostnik11 | yeah but i don't want to spend i want to figure out a way to fix the problem | 06:56 |
| ShawnC | Where can I find the drivers for my Realtek® 802.11b/g/n wireless card? | 06:56 |
| desynch | ShawnC, system->admin->hardware drivers | 06:56 |
| Voss | ghost, you might check in network manager if your card is turned on | 06:56 |
| genoobie | I don't think a reinstall will fix this problem tho | 06:57 |
| ghostnik11 | voss, when i do that it only brings up the modem port and not the ethernet port | 06:57 |
| ghostnik11 | voss, its like my card doesn't want to tell me that my ethernet port is on | 06:58 |
| Voss | ghost, you might also need to check if your ethernet port is turned on in the bios | 06:58 |
| timfrost | slide23: if you have the sun java installed, run 'sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun' to use the Sun V6(1.6) programs. To check what is available, run 'update-java-alternatives --list' | 06:58 |
| biker | hi :) im have a problem: | 06:58 |
| ghostnik11 | voss, the bios is a phoenix a1 and i don't think it gives me that option | 06:58 |
| Voss | biker im sorry the problem section is closed for the evening | 06:58 |
| biker | Voss: uh? =/ | 06:59 |
| Voss | ;-) | 06:59 |
| Voss | im kidding | 06:59 |
| biker | lol :p | 06:59 |
| ghostnik11 | voss do you think it is the fact that maybe my bios has the ethernet port locked off | 06:59 |
| slide23 | timfrost, thanks | 06:59 |
| Voss | ghost its possible | 06:59 |
| genoobie | will a reinstall likely fix this problem Voss? | 07:00 |
| Voss | ghost, look for something that says onboard lan, | 07:00 |
| Voss | in the bios | 07:00 |
| biker | after installing ubuntu, I installed the kubuntu-desktop to have also kde, all its ok, but now after grub and before the login screen, the system animation is of kubuntu; how can I return it to the ubuntu animation? =/ | 07:01 |
| Night0wl | when I switch back to X in ubuntu after waiting a long time, it will prompt for my password but completely lock up my laptop | 07:01 |
| Voss | genoobie, id try a live install cd and see if that works, if it does then yes maybe a reinstall would work. If not then a reinstall wouldnt do anything and then you have a hardware problem | 07:01 |
| genoobie | Voss the live cd booted | 07:01 |
| Voss | ghost I meant not genoobie | 07:01 |
| slide23 | timfrost, will that auto propagate to nautilus? | 07:01 |
| genoobie | how do I mount the hda in terminal? | 07:02 |
| genoobie | it's a standard eide | 07:02 |
| Voss | genoobie, a reinstall might fix the problem | 07:02 |
| nick125 | Hey. Anyone here know of a PPA where I can get the 190.x.x Nvidia drivers for Karmic? | 07:03 |
| amritbera | anybody know anything about GPRS??? | 07:03 |
| genoobie | I mounted the diskpart where the install is | 07:03 |
| biker | any idea? | 07:03 |
| jim__ | is there someone that could help me diagnose what is wrong with my laptop that has ubuntu? | 07:03 |
| Voss | ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa | 07:03 |
| ghostnik11 | voss just checked i see nothing in the phoenix bios version 1 saying onboard lan | 07:03 |
| genoobie | voss if grub is in the mbr how can i poke at it... | 07:04 |
| timfrost | slide23: you may have to log out and back in for nautilus to notice the change. I am not sure about that. Certainly any new program will pick up the new default | 07:04 |
| Voss | genoobie, thats outside my expertise | 07:05 |
| jim__ | i have 0 free space on my computer, and its causing my updates to make errors | 07:05 |
| slide23 | timfrost, thanks | 07:05 |
| soreau | genoobie: What do you want to do with it exactly? Generally speaking, 'poking' at your bootloader and MBR is a bad idea | 07:05 |
| jim__ | what good is this chat if no one is here to help | 07:05 |
| genoobie | well it can't find the right partition in grub | 07:05 |
| genoobie | error: no such device:ee8890foo etc etc | 07:06 |
| soreau | grub 1 or 2? | 07:06 |
| genoobie | 1.97 | 07:06 |
| genoobie | so 1 | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | genoobie: no | 07:06 |
| soreau | ! grub | genoobie | 07:06 |
| ubottu | genoobie: 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. | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | genoobie: that's grub2 | 07:06 |
| soreau | Oops | 07:06 |
| soreau | ! grub2 | genoobie | 07:06 |
| ubottu | genoobie: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:06 |
| genoobie | my bad | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | genoobie: 0.97 is grub1 | 07:06 |
| ghostnik11 | voss, do you think i will have to udate the bios to get that option to check for onboard lan | 07:06 |
| soreau | lstarnes: You must admit, that's really confusing | 07:06 |
| genoobie | gothca | 07:07 |
| genoobie | so I booted live | 07:07 |
| genoobie | mounted the part where ubuntu is installed | 07:07 |
| genoobie | and I can see the fs and everything :) | 07:07 |
| Voss | ghost, no its in there it may just have a different name. Go to the toshiba site and get the user manual | 07:07 |
| genoobie | how can i fix grub? | 07:07 |
| jim__ | can someone help me or no | 07:07 |
| soreau | genoobie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:07 |
| soreau | jim__: No one can help you if you don't ask a question | 07:08 |
| ryuuzaki | how can i install my video card dirver(ati 9500)? | 07:08 |
| jim__ | i did 8 times buddy | 07:08 |
| soreau | ryanakca: It's already installed on any recent version of ubuntu | 07:08 |
| genoobie | soreau, I know, but I only have about 5 min | 07:08 |
| jim__ | i have 0 free space left on my computer and when i did a update it messed shit up | 07:08 |
| soreau | jim__: Asking if someone can help you is not really asking anything | 07:08 |
| jim__ | maybe you should of read my prior posts | 07:09 |
| genoobie | most obvious problem might be? | 07:09 |
| ryuuzaki | q | 07:09 |
| soreau | genoobie: Then you shouldn't even be trying to fix this right now Try again when you have more time | 07:09 |
| timfrost | jim__: you will need to free up some disk space before you can apply any package updates. Your options depend on how your disk is partitioned | 07:09 |
| soreau | ! who | jim__ | 07:09 |
| ubottu | jim__: 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 :) | 07:09 |
| jim__ | how do i delete programs | 07:09 |
| terminhell | How can i make cli output slower? and i dont mean "| less" | 07:09 |
| genoobie | soreau, I have three kids and lots of obligations | 07:09 |
| genoobie | I *never8 have more time | 07:10 |
| soreau | genoobie: Who's fault is that? | 07:10 |
| jim__ | i have a dell mini, that has a tiny hardrive | 07:10 |
| Random832 | jim__, do you have a lot of music or video files? | 07:10 |
| jim__ | no brand new computer | 07:10 |
| Random832 | terminhell, why do you want it slower? | 07:10 |
| genoobie | it's not really a fault, I'm just saying if there are obvious things to check some pointer could really help | 07:10 |
| Random832 | jim__, what size hard drive do you have anyway? | 07:10 |
| terminhell | Random832: mostly for the lols. | 07:10 |
| jim__ | 4 gb i think | 07:11 |
| jim__ | its small | 07:11 |
| soreau | genoobie: It would really help if you read the information provided to you already | 07:11 |
| whiter | hey everyone.. | 07:11 |
| Random832 | terminhell, i wrote a program for that, once.... long since lost it though | 07:11 |
| Random832 | to slow it down to the speed that it was way back in the old days on teletype machines | 07:11 |
| jim__ | is there a way to check? im in the filesystem properties | 07:11 |
| terminhell | Random832: yea exactly =D | 07:11 |
| Random832 | jim__, for a quick and dirty way to free up some space , do apt-get clean | 07:12 |
| soreau | Random832: The terminal output will be roughly faster as the processor speed is higher. afaik, there's no way to slow it down. Set your scrollback in your terminal to a high value so you can scroll back on what was output | 07:12 |
| uncmar | my middle click to paste isn't working. | 07:13 |
| jim__ | random, unable to lock the download directory | 07:13 |
| genoobie | see the wiki doesn't suggest which filesystem to begin with, or if those cmds should be run as root | 07:13 |
| soreau | uncmar: Did you highlight anything first? | 07:14 |
| zoleka | hey guys! | 07:14 |
| uncmar | soreau: yes. | 07:14 |
| Random832 | jim__, you have to be root | 07:14 |
| soreau | uncmar: Where are you trying to middle click? | 07:14 |
| uncmar | double click to firefox Location bar. | 07:14 |
| uncmar | soreau: double click works for highlight, and trying to middle click to firefox location bar. | 07:15 |
| jim__ | random, on that now | 07:15 |
| genoobie | soreau, if I could edit some files then I might be in good shape | 07:15 |
| timfrost | jim__: more info required - can you pastebin the output of 'df -h' (run as a command in a terminal) so that we can see the structure of your file system, and which parts have no space. | 07:15 |
| genoobie | but the problem is if grub is in mbr doesn't that change the nature of the wiki?? | 07:15 |
| uncmar | soreau: I don't have a middle button. until very recently, the emulation was working. I don't know if it was turned off with the latest update. | 07:15 |
| soreau | genoobie: Why can't you edit any files? | 07:15 |
| soreau | uncmar: Ah, so you're doing right+left click for middle click? | 07:16 |
| jim__ | Tim your going to have to make that more simple for me i appolgize | 07:16 |
| uncmar | soreau: yes. | 07:16 |
| uncmar | I'll go get my usb mouse to try the actual middle button. | 07:16 |
| soreau | uncmar: Well that's an X server setting iirc. Check your X log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure Emulate3Buttons is enabled | 07:17 |
| jim__ | Tim i see the size, use, avail | 07:17 |
| jim__ | what would you like to no? | 07:17 |
| genoobie | no, I can edit files | 07:18 |
| jim__ | Tim /dev/sda2 uses 100% | 07:18 |
| genoobie | man I should have picked grub somehow | 07:18 |
| genoobie | that *works* | 07:18 |
| uncmar | soreau: grep Emulate3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log returns nothing. | 07:19 |
| soreau | genoobie: FYI, 9.04 uses grub1 and if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, it will not install grub2 | 07:19 |
| genoobie | I didn't upgrade, fresh install | 07:19 |
| jim__ | ????????????? | 07:19 |
| genoobie | but i had another linux installed on the system | 07:19 |
| genoobie | grub1 | 07:19 |
| zoleka | hey guys am new on this network and want to make friends | 07:19 |
| soreau | uncmar: Hmm.. you might need Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" in xorg.conf, perhaps the ServerFlags section? | 07:20 |
| soreau | ! who | genoobie | 07:20 |
| ubottu | genoobie: 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 :) | 07:20 |
| genoobie | sorry, soreau | 07:20 |
| jim__ | !tim | 07:20 |
| Docteh | its kinda quiet in here right now ;) | 07:20 |
| biker | hi :) | 07:21 |
| genoobie | soreau, I had another linux installed and grub was working it appears that ubuntu replaces that with grub2 | 07:21 |
| uncmar | soreau: will that require a restart of X ? | 07:21 |
| biker | after installing ubuntu, I installed the kubuntu-desktop to have also kde, all its ok, but now after grub and before the login screen, the system animation is of kubuntu; how can I return it to the ubuntu animation? =/ | 07:21 |
| soreau | Docteh: By way of comparison to what it usually is, but compared to other sane channels, it's never quiet in here | 07:21 |
| RussellAlan | what is the package name for kde? | 07:21 |
| RussellAlan | sudo apt-get install kde-desktop? | 07:21 |
| soreau | uncmar: Any changes made in xorg.conf would require X restart. All's you have to do is log out | 07:22 |
| biker | RussellAlan: nop, kubuntu-desktop | 07:22 |
| crash2108 | Am I talking to myself? | 07:22 |
| jim__ | where did timfrost go | 07:22 |
| genoobie | soreau I could fix this if I could change that UUID to something like /dev/sda5 | 07:22 |
| timfrost | jim__: what is on /dev/sda2 (what does 'df-h /dev/sda2' report? 100% means that nothing more can be written there | 07:22 |
| uncmar | I am rather partial to the 8 xterm's I have running at the moment. | 07:22 |
| genoobie | or something like that | 07:22 |
| soreau | genoobie: Yes, karmic installs grub2 to your MBR | 07:22 |
| zoleka | <alexis>hi | 07:22 |
| crash2108 | I think I am. | 07:22 |
| soreau | genoobie: You say you have another linux partition? | 07:22 |
| genoobie | yes | 07:22 |
| genoobie | that one boots properly | 07:22 |
| genoobie | and a windows part | 07:22 |
| jim__ | tim, can you explain yourself more | 07:23 |
| genoobie | that too boots properly | 07:23 |
| jim__ | i need to fix this but i dont no what you mean | 07:23 |
| soreau | genoobie: So what is the problem exactly? | 07:23 |
| grayhane | How do I get sound juicer to rip mp3's | 07:23 |
| soreau | grayhane: You have to bribe it | 07:23 |
| grayhane | with what ? | 07:23 |
| genoobie | soreau when i pick either ubuntu OS at grub I get error: no such device: ee8890c0-foo | 07:23 |
| chilli0 | Hello I installed a program awhile back but forgot its name. It was a video converter i think it was ffmpeg but I installed that and I cant find the gui or what ever | 07:23 |
| genoobie | I mean there's ubuntu and ubuntu recovery both generate the err | 07:24 |
| jim__ | this is frustrating can you please help me | 07:24 |
| soreau | genoobie: Ok, well if you want to go back to grub1, boot into your working linux then follow the instructions to restore grub here: | 07:24 |
| soreau | ! grub | genoobie | 07:24 |
| ubottu | genoobie: 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. | 07:24 |
| genoobie | soreau but then I won't be able to boot ubuntu? | 07:24 |
| sasori2501 | hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? | 07:25 |
| soreau | genoobie: After that, you would probably have to manually add ubuntu to /boot/grub/menu.lst of your working linux | 07:25 |
| jim__ | tim, are you there? | 07:25 |
| genoobie | can't I just replace the uuid thing with /dev/sda5 | 07:26 |
| genoobie | I imagine the UUID contains the fs info and such | 07:26 |
| soreau | genoobie: Sure, you can try that if you want | 07:26 |
| genoobie | I can try anythign | 07:26 |
| soreau | Can't break it anymore than it already is | 07:26 |
| jim__ | soreau can i have some help please | 07:27 |
| genoobie | no apparently not | 07:27 |
| soreau | jim__: Sorry man, what is your problem? You have low disk space? | 07:27 |
| timfrost | jim__: We can use a private channel. Does your IM program show the private conversation that I am setting up? | 07:27 |
| jim__ | no it does not | 07:27 |
| genoobie | what's ro for in the boo | 07:27 |
| jim__ | yes it does i apologize | 07:28 |
| soreau | genoobie: ro = read only | 07:28 |
| genoobie | okay | 07:28 |
| jim__ | timfrost try it again | 07:28 |
| jim__ | soreau | 07:28 |
| soreau | yes? | 07:29 |
| jim__ | heres what happened... i did an update and my computer ran out of space dudring the update | 07:29 |
| genoobie | absafrigginfabulous | 07:29 |
| jim__ | it cuased failure to my whole computer | 07:29 |
| soreau | jim__: Why do you only have 4GB of disk space? | 07:29 |
| jim__ | i dont no i baught a dell mini | 07:30 |
| soreau | ugh | 07:30 |
| soreau | I would complain to them | 07:30 |
| genoobie | soreau iit appears that changing the UUID crap that ubuntu borked in grub2 | 07:30 |
| genoobie | seems to have fixed the problem | 07:30 |
| soreau | that is not a reasonable amount of disk space to do anything with | 07:30 |
| soreau | genoobie: cool | 07:30 |
| jim__ | listen all i need to do is restore my computer to an earlier point | 07:30 |
| genoobie | soreau now to make the change permanent what should I edit or what cmd should I run | 07:31 |
| jim__ | when i did the update it messed my computer up | 07:31 |
| soreau | jim__: You can do that by reinstalling ubuntu | 07:31 |
| jim__ | please help me through that | 07:31 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Make a backup of your precious data first. | 07:31 |
| jim__ | i have nothing on this computer yet | 07:31 |
| genoobie | I basically got rid of the "search" line in grub2 | 07:31 |
| sasori2501 | hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? | 07:31 |
| soreau | genoobie: TBH idk for grub2. You will have to consult the grub2 ubuntu wiki page | 07:31 |
| jim__ | i just started playing with it today | 07:31 |
| genoobie | and changed root=/dev/sda5 | 07:31 |
| soreau | jim__: How did you install ubuntu on it in the first place? | 07:31 |
| jim__ | i got it with it on it | 07:32 |
| soreau | ah | 07:32 |
| genoobie | I guess for now I'll do it manually until I figure it out | 07:32 |
| soreau | jim__: The manufacturer didn't give you reinstall disks? | 07:32 |
| jim__ | this laptop was fine a few hours ago | 07:32 |
| jim__ | no | 07:32 |
| soreau | wtf | 07:32 |
| jim__ | i baught it from someone | 07:32 |
| soreau | jim__: You said you bought it from dell? | 07:32 |
| soreau | ahh | 07:32 |
| soreau | from someone | 07:32 |
| soreau | Well you got a bad deal | 07:32 |
| tawan | my computer is weird - it does not ask password for gksu - ever | 07:32 |
| soreau | at least for the hard drive | 07:33 |
| jim__ | it was cheap | 07:33 |
| genoobie | how do you look at the desktop settings (color bit depth res, etc.) | 07:33 |
| jim__ | i just need to be able to go on the internet | 07:33 |
| soreau | jim__: It has cheap because it has no hard drive and no telling what else is wrong with it :P | 07:33 |
| genoobie | nm | 07:33 |
| jim__ | how do i get it back to normal | 07:33 |
| soreau | jim__: Well first things first, you will want to download and burn a live cd | 07:33 |
| genoobie | no wait | 07:34 |
| soreau | ! download | jim__ | 07:34 |
| ubottu | jim__: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 07:34 |
| genoobie | how can i see color bit depth | 07:34 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: sudo fdisk -l --> How many GB? | 07:34 |
| timfrost | jim__: OK. just tried a private message | 07:34 |
| soreau | genoobie: grep Depth /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:34 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: Apparently only 4GB | 07:34 |
| genoobie | soreau, tx | 07:35 |
| jim__ | soreau what one should i chose | 07:35 |
| kinja-sheep | soreau: That is *sad*. How much did he paid for it? | 07:35 |
| jim__ | 75 bucks | 07:35 |
| jim__ | i have a very nice pc im on i just wanted a mini | 07:35 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Not bad for a Internet-oriented Netbook -- Hmm. | 07:35 |
| soreau | jim__: Well since you have such a limited amount of space, I'd be inclined to recommend xubuntu. But if you mean which should you choose for download, you should choose the Desktop iso that is right for your arch | 07:36 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: You like Gnome? | 07:36 |
| soreau | jim__: For example if you have a regular intel processor, you would want x86/i386/i686 | 07:36 |
| sasori2501 | hey all, any idea how to have evolution minimize to tray??? maybe a .deb file i can dl for that functionality??? | 07:36 |
| jim__ | soreau i dont undertsand any of that | 07:36 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: I'd suggest for you to use Dell-Minimal.tar.gz and install essential packages instead of bloated ubuntu-desktop metapackage. | 07:37 |
| soreau | jim__: Ok, do you know what processor is in the dell mini? | 07:37 |
| jim__ | intel atom | 07:37 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Run "uname -m" | 07:37 |
| soreau | jim__: Alright so on the download page, you see where it says Desktop CD and x86 or i386/i686? any of that? | 07:38 |
| jim__ | i686 | 07:38 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: What is that tarball you are talking about? | 07:38 |
| soreau | jim__: Then that's the one you want | 07:38 |
| jim__ | what one? | 07:38 |
| soreau | :P | 07:38 |
| jmoney | hey guys | 07:38 |
| jmoney | whats up | 07:38 |
| soreau | ! download | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 07:39 |
| kinja-sheep | soreau: It does not have to be in ISO format. :-) | 07:39 |
| soreau | jim__: 9.10/karmic | 07:39 |
| chilli0 | Hi ive Just installed Winff But It doesnt work , it cant find what it needs, how can I get all of the packages it needs ? | 07:39 |
| jim__ | thank you | 07:39 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: I don't get it. What is this tarball you are talking about? | 07:39 |
| jmoney | what does this mean: (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (vrefresh out of range) | 07:40 |
| jim__ | now what do i pick soraue | 07:40 |
| jmoney | im stuck at 800x600 | 07:40 |
| genoobie | soreau, last question and tx for the help btw | 07:40 |
| genoobie | I'm trying to get the wlan up | 07:40 |
| prince | is their any good keylogger for ubuntu | 07:40 |
| genoobie | I see the correct driver is loaded | 07:40 |
| genoobie | lsmod shows b43legacy | 07:40 |
| jim__ | this is never going to workj | 07:40 |
| jim__ | i need to just make space on this computer | 07:41 |
| genoobie | and I didn't check dmesg but I'm assuming ubuntu puts the firmware in the distro | 07:41 |
| genoobie | so to get wlan up | 07:41 |
| kinja-sheep | soreau: You're aware of !minimal, right? People can use .iso to burn discs when there are over dozen way to install the system including USB methods. You could use unetbootin, Ubuntu Startup Creater, or tar.gz to zcat or dd methods. Really, there are manys. :) | 07:41 |
| genoobie | should I install a wirless daemon? | 07:41 |
| soreau | jim__: Well like I said, you need to download and burn a live cd from there. after that, you can use it to boot your mini | 07:41 |
| jim__ | my mini doesnt have a cd drive | 07:41 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: Nah, I don't know of them/it | 07:41 |
| soreau | jim__: Well you are really screwed then unless you can boot from usb | 07:42 |
| kinja-sheep | !minimal | soreau | 07:42 |
| ubottu | soreau: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 07:42 |
| timfrost | jmoney: what it says - the mode description for that mode is specifying a vertical refresh rate that isn't supported by the hardware | 07:42 |
| prince | someone pls suggest me a good keylogger for ubuntu | 07:42 |
| kinja-sheep | soreau: http://tinyurl.com/yk2ep3b (boot.img.gz / netboot.tar.gz) | 07:42 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: Oh neat | 07:42 |
| ardchoille | prince: Why would you want that? | 07:43 |
| jim__ | i dont understand, all i did was clicked the update button in the top right hand corner of my laptop | 07:43 |
| soreau | kinja-sheep: Then you can help jim__ figure out how to install ubuntu with no cdrom driver then :) | 07:43 |
| al_ | this page by the way being http://www.uofr.net/~greg/hardware/laptop_power_troubleshooting/ | 07:43 |
| jim__ | and it cuased problems | 07:43 |
| kinja-sheep | prince: There are none in the repository. Find one and try it at your own risk. | 07:43 |
| biker | how can I type ascii characters? like in windows is alt ###, on fedora is alt + key, on ubuntu how is it? | 07:43 |
| soreau | jim__: The main problem is the laptops hard drive does not have enough disk space at all | 07:43 |
| jim__ | i no | 07:43 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Do you have a spare USB that we can use to install a fresh Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 on it? | 07:44 |
| jmoney | timfrost, http://paste.ubuntu.com/351122/ | 07:44 |
| soreau | jim__: Then you do understand what the proble is | 07:44 |
| jim__ | no | 07:44 |
| jim__ | a usb cord? | 07:44 |
| fahadmks666 | Hey | 07:44 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: You will want to buy one. It costs 10 bucks or so. | 07:44 |
| al_ | Looks like it is a voltage regulator, and it does look like a mosfet. Which begs the question, if your looking at a circuit, how would you know the diff from a regulator vs a mosfet? Look up part numbers? | 07:44 |
| fahadmks666 | I cannot play the video via youtube? | 07:45 |
| jim__ | kinja a usb cord? | 07:45 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Looks like this --> http://tinyurl.com/yjxz4ew | 07:45 |
| fahadmks666 | It says as need to enable java or to get the latest flash player | 07:45 |
| jim__ | let me see | 07:45 |
| fahadmks666 | I have the latest flash player | 07:45 |
| yellabs | hi there | 07:45 |

| jim__ | whats next kinja | 07:47 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Do you want to use i386 or i686? | 07:48 |
| jim__ | i 686 | 07:48 |

| jim__ | thats wat i have now i guess | 07:48 |
| jim__ | let me try it | 07:48 |

| genoobie | soreau, I think I'm going to stick with puppylinux | 07:49 |
| soreau | genoobie: Knock yourself out | 07:49 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: I can't find i686 for the usb, but I see a lpia disc. I gotta search a little more. | 07:49 |
| genoobie | soreau ubuntu appears slow | 07:49 |

| jim__ | kinja-sheep: ok | 07:50 |

| kinja-sheep | jim__: Found it. | 07:50 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: ready when you are | 07:50 |
| genoobie | soreau, no I know. I really like the availability of apps for ubuntu | 07:50 |
| genoobie | but it's kind of heavy | 07:51 |
| genoobie | and obviously still a bit buggy | 07:51 |
| genoobie | nite then | 07:51 |

| firefox_ | soreau, here http://pastebin.org/70930 | 07:52 |

| kinja-sheep | jim__: Okay. Plug it in the netbook. | 07:53 |
| radek | somone say lol ~im testing something | 07:53 |
| kinja-sheep | !iptables | firefox_ | 07:54 |
| ubottu | firefox_: 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 | 07:54 |
| soreau | firefox_: I have done this once only with an original xbox (not 360) and it was something similar to what you're doing. What problem are you having with the setup exactly? | 07:54 |
| radek | somone say lol ~im testing something | 07:54 |
| firefox_ | soreau, the xbox doesnt see the internet | 07:55 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: continue y/n? | 07:55 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Yes. You want to install it. | 07:55 |
| soreau | firefox_: Can you ping the xbox and does xbox have a way to ping or use nameservers? | 07:55 |
| Fog | if i just want to copy all the files and subdirectories of foo/, but not 'foo/' itself, do i do: cp -r foo/* /path/to/bar/? | 07:55 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: it is done | 07:55 |
| caimlas | hi, I seem to have buggered apt/dpkg somehow. system hung (likely due to vbox kernel modules) while I was doing an `aptitude install ntop`. It didn't completely install (was iF status now pF), and I can't perform aptitude remove/purge or force it due to the error "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error" - anyone have a clue how I might fix this? | 07:56 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: I'm waiting for the link from you. | 07:56 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: where would i find a link? | 07:56 |
| firefox_ | soreau, not to sound dumb (or atleast not to prove it ^_^) you mean like ping it from the laptop thats forwarding or from another comp on the network? | 07:56 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: In the terminal. | 07:56 |
| soreau | firefox_: From the laptop, but should be able to ping it from anywhere on the LAN | 07:57 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: i dont see a link | 07:57 |
| radek | can somone say "lol"??? | 07:57 |
| soreau | ! lol | radek | 07:57 |
| ubottu | radek: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 07:57 |
| yellabs | lol | 07:57 |
| soreau | ;) | 07:57 |
| radek | :) | 07:57 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" | 07:57 |
| radek | it didnt work | 07:57 |
| firefox_ | soreau, let me boot it up. I use the last two lines before iptables-save in that script to forward. gotta go in the other room and turn it on | 07:58 |
| yellabs | apt-get install lol | 07:58 |
| radek | how do i enter scripts in ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| radek | i have a bot | 07:58 |
| radek | and i want to test it | 07:58 |
| radek | but mirc is not 4 linux | 07:58 |
| soreau | firefox_: TBH, it would be wise to continue this conversation in #networking so other more experienced in this area might chime in. Meet you there? | 07:58 |
| soreau | firefox_: Just start by asking the question and problem you are having there and make sure to post the pastebin in there | 07:59 |
| kinja-sheep | firefox_: Install bridge-utils -- Set up a new profile in NetworkManager for shared link. You're done. | 07:59 |

| git___ | has anyone try to copy 16GB worth of data from / to a mounted loop device ext4 file in ubuntu 9.10? | 08:12 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: help please | 08:12 |
| DasEi | jim__: unmet dependencies ? | 08:12 |
| git___ | my ubuntu hung | 08:12 |
| DasEi | jim__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade << throws errors ? | 08:13 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Do this -- "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" <-- There was a typo on my part. | 08:13 |
| EastDallas | I left a gnome session logged in on a remote machine. Now I'm home connected via SSH and want to kill the session I left. I don't want to reboot, because another user is logged on. Any idea how I do this? I found some instrux, but I need the PID for that gnome session and don't know how to find it. | 08:13 |
| jim__ | DasEi: could not resolve 'dell-mini.archive.canonical.com | 08:13 |
| DasEi | git___: you can't copy to loop device like this | 08:13 |
| git___ | dasei: i was able to for the first 1.6G, then it choked | 08:14 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: gnome-session-save --logout-dialog | 08:14 |
| alankila | EastDallas: if you can sacrifice every process of yours, type "kill -15 -1" (send TERM to all your processes.) | 08:14 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Ignore it. You're going to format the netbook anyway. | 08:14 |
| mcnellis | I'm having this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gentoo/+bug/474664 | 08:14 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: gnome-session-save --logout | 08:14 |
| git___ | the loop device is a bootable qemu image | 08:14 |
| mcnellis | not sure why it's on gentoo though - but it seems to link to the source of the problem which is from ubuntu? not sure why theres' the crossover | 08:14 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: i did "sudo fdisk -1 | pastebinit" | 08:15 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: man gnome-session-save | 08:15 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: -l (a letter l) not numbers. | 08:15 |
| DasEi | git___: either you do an image of / with dd or you sudo cp -R it to a destination big enough | 08:15 |
| git___ | i was hoping to do: rsync -azvH / /mnt/qemu.img --exclude=/dev --exclude=/proc | 08:15 |
| DasEi | jim__: L=l not 1 | 08:15 |
| Fog | you have to do -v in order to see the files being copied with cp? | 08:15 |
| kinja-sheep | Fog: Yes. | 08:16 |
| kinja-sheep | Fog: -v stands for --verbose | 08:16 |
| EastDallas | ardchoille: WARNING **: Unable to start. Cannot open Display: | 08:16 |
| DasEi | Fog: nope, use rsync -P for that | 08:16 |
| git___ | somehow i tried dd /dev/sda1 (100GB) to a USB drive, it still chokes at around 34GB | 08:16 |
| Fog | how can i tell if my wifi card is using wireless 'N', 'G' or 'B'? | 08:16 |
| llutz | git___: just as a hint, use "rsync -x..." so you don't need those excludes | 08:16 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: let me re do it | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: you're ssh'd in but without forwarding X ? | 08:17 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: command not found | 08:17 |
| Fog | why would i use rsync to copy mp3s from one folder to another? | 08:17 |
| Fog | that would be slower to make all the deltas | 08:17 |
| git___ | thanks llutz | 08:17 |
| === Guest9291 is now known as Allan | ||
| ardchoille | EastDallas: I suppose you could always kill gnome-session | 08:17 |
| kinja-sheep | Fog: It is not slower. Just different way to copy. | 08:18 |
| === Allan is now known as Guest90327 | ||
| DasEi | Fog: no, that's not slower than cp, but you will to get a progress and see the actually copied files | 08:18 |
| EastDallas | ardchoille: the way I'm logged in now, yeah...I'm logged in over a management tool. | 08:18 |
| === Guest90327 is now known as Allan_C | ||
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: what should i do | 08:18 |
| llutz | EastDallas: ps -eu, look for "your" gnome-session, kill it | 08:19 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: See private messaging. | 08:19 |
| EastDallas | ardchoille: Do you know how to find the PID for my gnome session? | 08:19 |
| Allan_C | im having a bit of a brain fart, what file do i back up to save all my ppas and sources? | 08:19 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: how do i do that | 08:19 |
| alankila | Allan_C: /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:19 |
| DasEi | EastDallas: top or htop | 08:19 |
| alankila | EastDallas: or "pidof gnome-session" | 08:19 |
| Allan_C | thank you, i knew it was something easy | 08:19 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: The tab that you said to me "let me try" | 08:19 |
| jim__ | kinja-sheep: its gone | 08:20 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: ps aux | grep gnome-session | 08:20 |
| alankila | pidof > ps aux | grep. | 08:20 |
| ardchoille | EastDallas: alankila is right, use pidof gnome-session | 08:21 |
| kinja-sheep | jim__: Look around. | 08:21 |
| DasEi | EastDallas: ps aux another way | 08:21 |
| EastDallas | ardchoille: DasEi: ps aux works better | 08:22 |
| alankila | ps aux is the traditional unix way, but you still have to identify which one of the lines is the right one due to fuzzy matching, sometimes even showing the grep itself. | 08:22 |
| DasEi | :) | 08:22 |
| EastDallas | alankila: DasEi: ardchoille: pidof gives me three PIDs, but it doesn't tell me which one belongs to who. | 08:22 |
| mneptok | EastDallas: htop can group pids by their relation to the master process | 08:23 |
| alankila | EastDallas: okay, use "ps u <pid>" to look closer at each one | 08:23 |
| EastDallas | alankila: ps aux tells me right there who the session belongs to. | 08:23 |
| alankila | the three results means three processes, so you got to identify yours. | 08:23 |
| DasEi | EastDallas: both ps aux and htop show the owner of the proc | 08:23 |

| kinja-sheep | I have a question about aptitude. When I ran a command to install, it went off to retrieve the package, uncompress, configure and install it. Correction? Is there anything I can do to delete the package afterward? | 10:27 |
| trijntje | lexie, what is your problem? | 10:30 |
| guntbert | kinja-sheep: sudo aptitude remove <package> | 10:30 |
| kinja-sheep | guntbert: Right. I'm trying to help somebody with 4GB for a hard drive. I'm not certain if minimal is the way to go considering it'd have to download more than 4GB of packages. | 10:31 |

| mimir|on | i don't need the mail part | 10:32 |
| guntbert | kinja-sheep: ah, I misunderstood - your concern is the package file itself - then my command would not be helpful | 10:32 |
| kinja-sheep | guntbert: Yes. Obviously. :) | 10:33 |
| joaopinto | kinja-sheep, a minimal install is not 4GB | 10:33 |
| joaopinto | minimal as in, no windows manager | 10:33 |
| mimir|on | or is there a way to disable the mail part from evolution? and leave everything else ? | 10:33 |

| kinja-sheep | joaopinto: It made me wonder about how people are able to install on their netbooks without minimal approach. I'm guessing that Dell use dd (to hard drives) and make things looks bad on Ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| om26er | !test | 10:37 |
| ubottu | yes, I'm alive. | 10:37 |
| joaopinto | kinja-sheep, oh wait, if you refer to install from cd, packages are not copied to the disk, it's more like a dd from the cd to the target system | 10:38 |
| kinja-sheep | joaopinto: Because he clicked the upgrading button on notification area, it went ahead to obtain 300 packages and no room. So his system got b0rked. | 10:38 |

| soreau | mac_: It's worth a shot. If you look for system requirements for ubuntu, the regular live cd is for more modern machines | 11:10 |
| mac_ | soreau: i' m gonna try it. Thanks a lot. | 11:11 |

| gypsymauro | hi | 11:13 |
| innarr | oCean_: i think it is pretty impossible to solve 5.10>5.8.8 as a package :) the best solution might be to get ubuntu 8.04 which has LTS+perl5.8.8. but still - please get 5.10 working better soon! :) | 11:13 |
| bloodski | i have a problem with optical audio on my asus at3n7a-i mobo, i upgraded alsa to 1.0.21 and it still says no optical data on my logitech receiver, and there's no red light from the cable.. analogue audio works tho, any ideas? | 11:13 |
| bloodski | running ubuntu 9.04 btw | 11:14 |
| z0man | Hmmm this is interesting, via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetup that my genius mouse pen is really using a "Slim Tablet" driver. | 11:14 |

| gypsymauro | I've an HP pavilion dv 4 with integrated SIM to connect to internet via mobile phone , in windows vista it works on ubuntu 9.10 I can't find info on google :( | 11:15 |
| oCean_ | innarr: 5.8 is in the hardy repositories. However, that will most likely not solve all dependencies. Revert to 8.04 might be the solution for now | 11:15 |
| oCean_ | innarr: unless there's a 5.8 repo somewhere for Karmic | 11:15 |

| st6 | xset 1/999 1/999 doesnt work either | 11:37 |
| beruic | guntbert: load cycling is the hard drive parking the reading head and resuming again. It's not good when it does it too often. In Intrepid I changed some scripts that was executed when entering battery state, but don't remember which. | 11:37 |
| guntbert | beruic: now I see - but sorry - no help from me :-( | 11:39 |
| innarr | oCean_: no karmic repo for 5.8... so moving back to 8.04 seems to be the best solution. still for 8.04 there are things like flash, sound and id-card utilities that work better under karmic | 11:39 |

| iKernel | beruic, couldn't you keep some program running that would cause the disk to keep spinning, as a temporary measure? | 11:42 |
| iKernel | trud, don't ask to ask, just ask | 11:43 |
| iKernel | :) | 11:43 |
| papul | trud, ur problem? | 11:43 |
| beruic | iKernel: which? | 11:43 |
| trud | :) | 11:43 |
| iKernel | beruic, well, I suppose you could put find through a while loop. | 11:44 |
| papul | how do i use ddclient? | 11:44 |
| dreamflying | who has the driver of usb to serial ? | 11:45 |

| dreamflying | the chip of usb to serial is ch341a | 11:45 |
| trud | my problem is audio is not working :), well it's not muted I have tryied upgrading ALSA to x.21 doesn't work. I've tryied a lot of step-by-step guides | 11:45 |
| iKernel | beruic, make a directory called "dirty fix" in your home dir, put a few files the size of a few byes in there, cd to the dir and execute while true; do find .; done | 11:45 |
| iKernel | beruic, yes, but what happens if your hard drive screws up before you figure that out? | 11:46 |
| beruic | iKernel: Too dirty. Shouldn't happen too soon, just don't want it to wear out | 11:46 |

| Xaero252 | weinmann: try doing a complete removal of samba and then reinstalling if "sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba" | 12:00 |
| Xaero252 | LA-Snow: use the X-Fi Drivers for linux, and yes it will work | 12:00 |
| Xaero252 | LA-Snow: at least it should | 12:00 |
| Xfact | anyone: can you tell me, where to download cool ubuntu logon screens....? | 12:00 |
| LA-Snow | Xaero252: interesting, i haven't been able to find any x-fi drivers for linux | 12:00 |
| weinmann | Xaero252 i removed it with --purge and still same if i try to use dpkg-reconfigure it says samba is broken | 12:00 |
| corecode | hey | 12:00 |

| Xaero252 | LA-Snow: http://opensource.creative.com/ | 12:01 |
| corecode | i don't get any subwoofer signal until i go to sound preferences and switch the hardware configuration | 12:01 |
| Xfact | Rova...: thanks.... | 12:01 |
| LA-Snow | Xaero252: thanks | 12:01 |
| LA-Snow | Xaero252: how does alsa relate to all of this? | 12:01 |
| corecode | then it works, but it is lost once rhythmbox opens a different file | 12:01 |
| Xaero252 | LA-Snow, its a proprietary driver provided by creative, it should provide both Alsa and OSS compatibility for X-Fi chips, however, I'm not sure since yours is an Auzentech x-fi (uses an x-fi chip by creative) if the driver will control it properly, my X-Fi worked out of the box with 9.10 | 12:02 |
| Xfact | anyone: What is actually 'artwork' for Ubuntu? | 12:02 |
| LA-Snow | Xaero252: your x-fi was a card made by creative? | 12:03 |
| kinja-sheep | weinmann: Try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 12:03 |
| monokrome | hey | 12:03 |
| weinmann | kinja-sheep tyvm seems to work :o | 12:03 |
| monokrome | I encrypted my home folder, and I don't remember the password... How can I get it back? | 12:03 |
| Xaero252 | LA-Snow: yes, however the X-Fi chip should be the same, the only differences would be the rest of the semiconductors and the actually audio inputs and outputs | 12:03 |
| kinja-sheep | weinmann: Welcome. :o | 12:03 |
| guntbert | monokrome: no way - sorry | 12:04 |
| Rovanion | I'm getting errors while gtk-despotify, can someone figure out what's wrong, if I'm missing some package: http://pastebin.org/70981 | 12:04 |
| monokrome | guntbert: What kind of encryption does it use? | 12:04 |
| Xaero252 | monokrome: RSA encryption iirc, on a lighter note, you may be able to brute force it with a few TB's worth of rainbow tables :D | 12:04 |
| LA-Snow | Xaero252: i think you're correct. reason i went with auzentech is to avoid the bloatware drivers that creative has for windows | 12:05 |
| Xfact | anyone: Do you think using too many effects for desktop will slow down the performance level? | 12:06 |
| monokrome | Xaero252: How long would that take? | 12:06 |
| ah7013 | has anyone got nouveau working on powerpc on karmic | 12:06 |
| psycho_oreos | Xfact, depends mostly on hardware specs and the load levels | 12:06 |
| monokrome | Xaero252: http://ocaoimh.ie/is-rsa-encryption-broken/ | 12:07 |
| Xfact | psycho_oreos: and I think mainly depends on graphics card... well, thanks for suggestion :) | 12:07 |

| Xaero252 | LA-Snow: Auzentech has put out a press release saying they won't be developing drivers for their X-Fi products, so just pray that the Creative driver works for your X-Fi chip, if not there was a thread here about a patch for the creative drivers: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/auzentech-x-fi-prelude-driver-drama-o-639709/ | 12:10 |

| corecode | anybody else having problems with surround sound? | 12:17 |
| kinja-sheep | Tiders: You know Brasero have the option to clone disc. | 12:17 |
| monokrome | deviad: fsck should only run if problems possibly existed at time of hard reboot, I think. | 12:17 |
| monokrome | I think it runs based on a journal check | 12:18 |
| deviad | I forgot that I'm using ext4, when I used ext3 I saw also a fsck running every 5 - 10 reboots.. | 12:18 |
| deviad | . | 12:18 |
| deviad | so far I haven't seen fsck being run even once... that's weird to me | 12:18 |

| fosser | hello hackers, i am using ubuntu 9.04. i ust installed KompoZer. but it crashes after a min giving error segmentation fault. any patch or solution on this? | 12:20 |
| Rovanion | fosser: That is because the repos holds an old version | 12:21 |
| deviad | monokrome, I got worried because of some complaints about ext4 losing data | 12:21 |
| fosser | Rovanion: so if i installed latest version then problem will get solved? | 12:21 |
| monokrome | fosser: There is an article online that says they solved the problem by deleting their .komposer directory and restarting. I wouldn't recommend this, but moving it to something like .kompose.backup might be useful to test | 12:22 |
| Rovanion | fosser: I will not go into the stupidity of completely freezing the repos on launch of a distro. But rather provide you with this link that you may get a newer version: http://kompozer.net/download.php | 12:22 |

| corecode | Xaero252: it is not doing proper surround until i go to sound properties and change the hardware config | 12:25 |
| Xaero252 | corecode: is it not saving the settings for permanent use? | 12:26 |
| corecode | Xaero252: even though it remembers the hardware config, if playing a different song in rhythmbox, it won't be surround | 12:26 |
| corecode | Xaero252: so i have to select some other hardware config, like analog stereo, then it works. then i can switch back to 5.1 | 12:26 |
| corecode | Xaero252: happens for rhythmbox and totem | 12:27 |
| Xaero252 | corecode: very strange... only rhythmbox and totem? | 12:27 |

| bloodski | i have a problem with optical audio on my asus at3n7a-i mobo, i upgraded alsa to 1.0.21 and it still says no optical data on my logitech receiver, and there's no red light from the cable.. analogue audio works tho, any ideas? running ubuntu 9.04 | 12:32 |
| amikrop | guntbert: alright, thx | 12:32 |
| Xaero252 | corecode: it seems strange thats happening, I'd say toss a post on the forums and see if you can get a response from someone... no posts I can see digging on google describing that issue | 12:33 |

| Xaero252 | bloodski: the far right side there is a muted S/pdif port, and theres also the potential that its on another "sound card" you can cycle through those with F6 if there is one for that audio control | 12:45 |
| spacitymedic | uhm... is there a list of fixes in the terminal for common probs? | 12:45 |
| spacitymedic | or should I just come ask you guys? | 12:45 |

| doneill | me either.. | 13:18 |
| corecode | does alsa mix several sound channels? | 13:18 |
| doneill | corecode: yep. | 13:18 |
| Xaero252 | doneill: I use pulse audio because alsa fails at mixing imho | 13:18 |
| doneill | corecode: in and out | 13:18 |
| doneill | Xaero252: pulse audio fails and .. doing.. any.. audio | 13:19 |

| doneill | Narc: well, alt tab doesn't work reliably for me either with compiz on | 13:31 |

| brianherman | meway: what generation ipod | 13:33 |
| Narc | doneill: Yes, and the only people who experienced it are laptop users or beta testers | 13:33 |
| doneill | well, your input device isn't much different from a laptop trackball, how did they fix it? | 13:34 |
| Narc | doneill: I thought it was update related 'cause it happened right after I updated, but can be a coincidence | 13:35 |
| Narc | doneill: They didn't. | 13:35 |
| doneill | oh i imagine it is an update issue | 13:35 |
| Narc | doneill: They waited for a fix to come up. | 13:35 |

| mkanyicy | MindSpark, I never used 64 bit before, so I am clueless in that field | 14:27 |
| bitplane | Halvor, GNOME is the desktop environment I use (windowing system client). X11 deals with the input drivers and windowing server. At least that's how I understand it anyway | 14:27 |

| bitplane | Halvor, the ntp daemon might need restarting after installing it. a reboot will do this, I can't remember how I did it on my remote server but there were instructions on some website | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | agus: well tjhe older releases are still avail. but the repos have all been moved to some less used archive server. and you basically are on your own with any support issues with them. You would need to edit your sources.list to point to the right server | 14:37 |

| Xepera | karleeto: most people copy the windows fonts. There are many font packs available on torrent sites, but keep in mind that some of them are not freeware | 15:07 |
| Dunkirk | lowki, Also, pay attention to the mouse device. You might be needing to use the event device (/dev/event/mice), rather than psaux. | 15:07 |
| lowki | Dunkirk: says X server already active | 15:07 |
| brummbaer | karleeto: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 15:07 |
| brummbaer | it'll get the usual MS fonts installed. | 15:07 |
| Dunkirk | lowki, Yeah, you'll have to do it at the command line. Switch to a command prompt with ctrl-alt-f1, and then /etc/init.d/gdm stop. | 15:08 |
| karleeto | brummbaer: thanks! | 15:08 |
| Xepera | seems my skype audio question is out of the realm of general expertise lol | 15:08 |
| karleeto | Xepera: i'm comfortable with downloading a pirated font set, i'll look that up too ;) | 15:08 |
| karleeto | thanks folks! | 15:08 |
| Dunkirk | lowki, This will kill your X session. It would help to have a nother computer nearby for Googling while you tweak your config... | 15:09 |
| Xepera | karleeto: cool, enjoy -- there's a lot of great ones out there :P | 15:09 |

| Halvor | How can I install the Adobe flash plugin for Mozilla in 8.0.4 when it doesn't install when I follow the instructions? | 15:09 |
| Dunkirk | lowki, YOu can test your modifications without starting gdm again by just doing `startx'. | 15:09 |
| Halvor | Mozilla = Firefox | 15:09 |
| Xepera | Halvor: You can go into Synaptic and install flashplugin-nonfree | 15:09 |
| lowki | Dunkirk: nope still dont'work | 15:09 |
| lowki | it was working fine in 9.04 | 15:10 |
| Halvor | Xepera: What/where is synaptic? | 15:10 |
| corecode | oh wow, ext4 is so slow | 15:10 |
| Xepera | Halvor: are you on Kubuntu or Ubuntu? | 15:10 |
| bitplane | Halvor, it's the advanced package manager found in the system menu | 15:10 |
| Halvor | Ubuntu | 15:10 |
| chrisu71 | exit | 15:10 |
| Xepera | Halvor: press ALT+F2 & type "synaptic" (without quotes) and press enter | 15:10 |
| brummbaer | yeah, karleeto, you should also look up 'free ttf fonts' and 'install ttf ubuntu', if you're using fonts for graphics, there are some spiff free graphics sites out there. :) | 15:10 |
| Halvor | Xepera: Found it in the systems menu | 15:11 |

| Xepera | Halvor: that is the best way to install software on your system... always check that first | 15:11 |
| Halvor | Xepera: OK! | 15:12 |
| bitplane | mdk_ what graphics driver are you using? | 15:12 |
| karleeto | brummbaer: i'm about to check my torrent site for a font pack, i just installed msttcorefonts too | 15:12 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest4573 | ||
| dt3k | If u like gnome do u should check out docky | 15:12 |
| karleeto | brummbaer: so where do i stick the ttf fonts once i've download a font pack? | 15:12 |
| bitplane | I mean, what card.. I'm just guessing that it's the problem anyway | 15:12 |
| bitplane | dt3k, is docky the Apple wannabe thing? | 15:12 |
| karleeto | brummbaer: i've forgotten where the font dir is, and isnt there some command i run to update the font cache after i copy them? | 15:13 |
| dt3k | Kind of | 15:13 |
| ner0x | http://paste.ubuntu.com/351287/ | 15:13 |

| mdk_ | i installed through envy, and throught the restricted and via tty1 with the downloaded drivers | 15:14 |
| Halvor | Xepera: 'flashplugin-nonfree' has a green checkbox. I guess that means it is somehow in the system already? | 15:15 |
| lowki | so there is no rollback feature? | 15:16 |
| bitplane | dt3k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto | 15:16 |
| lowki | i just have to reinstall? | 15:16 |
| hiatus | why not install ubuntu restricted extras like everyone else? | 15:16 |
| kinja-sheep | hiatus: The way I see it... preload caches all running applications so it knows ten popular applications and is "ready" to load anytime. And readahead rearrange the boot files to shave a blink. | 15:16 |
| Dunkirk | lowki, that's correct. | 15:16 |

| Dunkirk | lowki, I've installed an operating system on my two main workstations a combined 6 times in the past 3 weeks. | 15:17 |

| eurythmia_ | Hey, I locked my computer for a moment, walked away, came back aand unlocked it, and now my mouse is not moving ... I've tried more than one device, so I'm fairly certain that it's a software issue. How would I go about getting my mouse to work again, short of restarting, or restarting X? | 15:18 |
| lowki | Dunkirk: wow, | 15:18 |
| Dunkirk | I can't settle on whether to run Ubuntu or my longtime friend Gentoo. | 15:18 |

| lowki | all those backups | 15:18 |
| hiatus | meh, i'll install it | 15:18 |
| Halvor | Xepera / bitplane / thiebaude : Adobe flashplayer appears to be installed, but the Facebook app which requires it says it isn't. | 15:18 |

| eurythmia_ | Dunkirk, gentoo *is* good ... if you're worried about code optimized for your processor, go with gentoo, but ubuntu is really slick and has a lot of support options. | 15:19 |

| brummbaer | karleeto: i would never tell you to google something, you should 'yahoo' it. | 15:19 |
| brummbaer | :) | 15:19 |
| bitplane | Halvor, open a console and type "cd /usr/ && find | grep flashplayer.so" | 15:19 |
| * thiebaude but dont bing it,lol | 15:19 | |
| Dunkirk | eurythmia_, I tried using the Phoronix test suite over the weekend, I got NO DIFFERENCE between Ubuntu amd64 and my "custom" Gentoo setup. On the exact same machine, mind you. | 15:20 |
| eurythmia_ | bitplane, woah ... that's a time consuming command. | 15:20 |
| dt3k | Good lord I have to do all that just to get on a domain? Sheesh | 15:20 |
| Dunkirk | eurythmia_, So a lot of my thinking about why I should stick with Gentoo just flew out the window. | 15:20 |
| bitplane | eurythmia yeah I know, I'm lazy so the computer can work more | 15:20 |
| eurythmia_ | Dunkirk, did you recompile everything on gentoo with -O3 ? ;) | 15:20 |
| eurythmia_ | bitplane, locate flashplayer.so :P | 15:20 |
| Pici | bitplane: Why not use find properly by doing: find /usr/ -name "flashplayer.so" | 15:20 |
| marcel__ | Hi ! | 15:20 |
| Xepera | Halvor: did you restart your browser? | 15:20 |
| biznock09 | can anyone help change a user password | 15:21 |
| Dunkirk | eurythmia_, No, I always use "safe" CFLAGS, with -02. So, yeah, I could probably squeeze something, but I haven't seen any gain yet. | 15:21 |
| eurythmia_ | with locate, you have to run updatedb once in a while, but you can get chron to do that for you. | 15:21 |
| Pici | biznock09: Provide some more information and we might be able to? What user? What have you tried? | 15:21 |
| Halvor | Xepera: I did | 15:21 |
| Halvor | bitplane: I get to filepaths | 15:21 |
| Dunkirk | eurythmia_, I suppose you're going to tell me that Ubuntu already uses -O2, and I should have been at -O3 on Gentoo to see any gains... | 15:21 |
| eurythmia_ | Dunkirk, then my suggestion is to go with ubuntu, it's a lot easier to administer, it's pretty, and there is lots of documentation and how tos. | 15:21 |
| patdk-wk | heh, I hate locate/updatedb :) just a waste of cpu/hd cycles to me | 15:21 |
| eurythmia_ | Dunkirk, I don't know that for sure, but I suspect so. | 15:22 |
| eurythmia_ | patdk-wk, get cron to run it while you sleep :P | 15:22 |
| biznock09 | Pici: its just my user password | 15:22 |
| eurythmia_ | patdk-wk, it sure saves time if you need to find things a lot. | 15:22 |
| Pici | biznock09: And you forgot it? | 15:22 |
| patdk-wk | eurythmia_, oh ya, when it takes locate 8hours to run | 15:22 |
| biznock09 | Pici: no i have it i want to change it | 15:22 |
| patdk-wk | and if it's a vm system that has 10+ of them running :( | 15:22 |
| bitplane | Halvor, are they in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ? | 15:22 |

| Xepera | Halvor: Are you on an i686 (32-bit) or AMD64 (64-bit) system? | 15:22 |
| patdk-wk | I can't remember ever using locate | 15:22 |

| bitplane | Halvor, the package manager.. wherever you installed it from | 15:31 |
| Guest3724 | ????? | 15:31 |
| hiatus | macman: use xchat or at least pidgin. if your hardcore, use irssi | 15:32 |
| bitplane | aptitude is the command line linux package manager... you use "apt-get" to install stuff. all those GUI tools use that in the background I think | 15:32 |
| oph3lia | irssi is nice | 15:32 |
| Halvor | bitplane: I installed it from Firefox, but the problem is that it isn't recognized in Firefox | 15:32 |
| oph3lia | simple and without the fancy eyesores :) | 15:32 |

| Halvor | bitplane: OK, 'cause now I seem to be back where I was previously. Firefox still doesn't tecognize that I have installed Flash | 15:56 |
| Dunkirk | malik_, I'm guessing you want to configure some hardware. What's giving you a problem? | 15:56 |
| oCean_ | kresselack: like "i did this ..." and then got the error message "..." | 15:56 |

| Doonz | hey guys im having trouble getting a crontab job to run. i can run the script by just typing the script in terminal as the user. but when i wait for contrab to run it it never runs | 16:03 |
| tiger1 | i want to hide file it's path is "/media/sda2/12-1.mht" using terminal command. | 16:04 |
| kresselack | guntbert: it cannot connect any url from terminal also | 16:05 |
| bitplane | Doonz, I had a similar issue but it went away when I rebooted my server. I guess restarting the cron daemon must have fixed it | 16:05 |
| oCean_ | Doonz: it might be because your cron daemon is not running, check that first. It also can be (for example) that the script calls a command that is not in the PATH. | 16:06 |
| bitplane | I messed around with rsyslogd for ages too, trying to get it to log cron activity | 16:06 |

| townkat | i read about atheros ones | 16:07 |
| guntbert | kresselack: I see ... you say ping works fine, for names too? | 16:07 |
| oCean_ | Doonz: to capture STDERR from script scheduled in cron, add "2 > /tmp/cron.err" to the line in the crontab, or even "> /tmp/cron.log 2>&1", which will send all output (ERR as well as OUT) to that logfile. That way you could debug your issue | 16:07 |

| Halvor | selfimage: But there are no other users tham me. I installed ubuntu here | 16:17 |

| h00k | I currently have Karmic 32bit with the encrypted home directory set from the installer, I'd like to install the 64bit version instead, how is this going to work with my home directory? | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip28 | elyria_dehoffran: no harm in checking :) | 16:25 |
| guntbert | Halvor: i sent you (via ubottu) some info for installing flash especially https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - please look at that website | 16:25 |
| madura | soreau, i read the ubuntu docs on open drivers they say that RV6xx don't get full 3D acceleration | 16:25 |
| oCean_ | xcv: you talking about a 2nd user on the same system you are logged in? | 16:26 |
| Halvor | guntbert: Yup, I'm there now | 16:26 |
| Preetam | after installing ubuntu 9.10 by wireless network shows disabled in the system tray | 16:26 |
| Preetam | how to enable it | 16:26 |
| Diverdude | I have ubuntu 9.10 on a Lenovo T61p. There seems to be a problem with the microphone. I try to go to the sound-recorder application, and record my voice....but only static is played when i try to playback my recorded voice. What might be the problem? | 16:26 |
| soreau | madura: It gets acceleration to run compiz and they are working on glsl support. The open drivers are indeed in an experimental phase but they still provide 3D | 16:26 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ActionParsnip28, No good things yet...WOuld fl;ashplugin-nonfree-extrasound be useful? | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip28 | preetam: is there a killswitch to enable it? | 16:27 |
| xcv | oCean_: correct, 2nd user is regular (non-admin) user | 16:27 |
| mbeierl | Anyone else know how to play a DVD in Karmic? | 16:27 |
| soreau | ! dvd | mbeierl | 16:27 |
| ubottu | mbeierl: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 16:27 |
| Halvor | Is 8.04 called Hardy Heron? | 16:27 |
| oCean_ | xcv: I think if a 2nd user tries to start nm-applet, it would fail with msg like "already in use". You could try the "nm-applet" command in a shell (as the 2nd user that is) - | 16:27 |
| guntbert | Halvor: there are many reporting flash problems - but as far as I can see most get theit things sorted with that page | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip28 | elyria_dehoffran: possibly, try it | 16:27 |
| joaopinto | soreau, they don't provide sufficient support for full fledged 3D opengl apps, bringing us to the initial problem, compiz+opengl apps | 16:27 |
| Pici | Halvor: Yes. | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip28 | !8.04 | halvor | 16:27 |
| ubottu | halvor: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 16:27 |
| * Elyria_DeHoffran chuckles...Ok, | 16:28 | |
| madura | soreau, i'll give it a try | 16:28 |
| soreau | joaopinto: That depends on what you mean by full fledged | 16:28 |
| joaopinto | soreau, running an FPS | 16:28 |
| soreau | joaopinto: They work fine to play most native linux games | 16:28 |
| xcv | oCean_: i actually could understand the desire to not include nm applet to a non-admin -- just wasn't sure if that's the way it's supposed to be | 16:28 |
| Halvor | What a strange name... | 16:28 |
| mbeierl | soreau: close, but nope. I can play portions of the dvd - it just that the movie "skips around" instead of playing sequentially | 16:28 |
| madura | soreau, on wine? | 16:28 |
| OerHeks | gunbert there is a flashplugin-installer in synaptic | 16:28 |
| soreau | joaopinto: Oh if you are one of those FPS fiends, just forget it | 16:28 |
| xcv | oCean_: in other words: feature, bug, or by design? lol | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip28 | halvor: and Vista isn't a strange name? | 16:29 |
| soreau | madura: wine is heavily geared toward nvidia users | 16:29 |
| Halvor | ActionParsnip28: Nah.. :-) | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip28 | hmmm | 16:29 |
| === richard is now known as Guest39860 | ||
| madura | soreau, well then i'll dual boot windows :D much easier! | 16:29 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ActionParsnip28, Whats swfdec-mozilla do? | 16:29 |
| oCean_ | xcv: not sure here. You could try stopping nm-applet for your user, then try to start as the 2nd user (first w/out admin priv) | 16:29 |
| Halvor | ActionParsnip28: Perhpas a future version will be called Terrence Gunderson | 16:30 |
| gh0st | hey guys, i'm running a ubuntu server, and im dealing with some REALLY mission critical space, was wondering if there was a way i can remove some stuff to free up space, like possibly all other languages but english etc.. any ideas? | 16:30 |
| soreau | joaopinto: Oh, you meant first person shooter and not frames per second | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | soreau, right :P | 16:30 |
| xcv | oCean_: ty! | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip28 | elyria_dehoffran: its an opensource flash. you can use it but you must remove the adobe flash first | 16:30 |
| soreau | joaopinto: As I said, most native linux FPSs work fine like open arena and enemy territory to name a couple | 16:30 |
| prince | my flv files play with shakeing effect but work fine on xp how to fix this | 16:30 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ActionParsnip28, Ok, I'll try that, since adobe is already removed. | 16:30 |

| ActionParsnip28 | gh0st: remove openoffice and gimp. lots of free space | 16:31 |
| soreau | madura: Threads for what? | 16:31 |
| gh0st | ActionParsnip28: im running a server install, i dont think those things are installed | 16:31 |

| Apollo2366 | Hey guys, I just set up an additional monitor on my box and managed to get a seperate X screen on it, but... I can't do anything with it. The top and bottom panels are blank, I can't right-click, I can't move windows from screen 0 to it. Nothing. Any advice? | 16:31 |
| filipechichorro | hello there! I've got a problem: i installed ubuntu v9.04 and now i would like to upgrade it to the latest one. but i've got a problem: i've got no more space in the partition. is it possible to increase the space available in the partition i use for ubuntu? i tried to go to the menu "partition editor in Gnome" as the "instructions" said, but I see no such button in the system -> administration menu :P | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip28 | prince: what xp does or doesn't do is moot | 16:32 |
| hamz1aatova1 | how can i show thew name of tracks in radios>???? | 16:32 |
| grendal_prime | hey what is going to be the next lts? | 16:32 |
| hamz1aatova1 | can i subscribe my little sansa to podcasts??? | 16:32 |
| urthmover | prince: what version of flash are you on? and what OS are you running? | 16:32 |
| madura | soreau, about this whole filcker thing! | 16:32 |
| h00k | Apollo2366: what you're looking to do is TwinView, and it depends on what you have for a graphics card | 16:32 |
| soreau | filipechichorro: If you can free up some space by say, shrinking a different partition, you can expand the ubuntu partition to make it bigger | 16:32 |
| grendal_prime | im building images for our datacenter i would like to get the jump on this now instead of having to dist upgrade in 3 months. | 16:32 |
| joaopinto | soreau, ok, they didn't work for me with the current drivers, and from all my readings 3D on the opensource drivers was unusable for game, I will try from xedgers | 16:32 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ActionParsnip28, No love yet, any other ideas? I have sound for everything else, just not flash type media. | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip28 | fillpechichorro: try: sudo apt-get clean and also try bleachbit | 16:32 |
| prince | my flv files play with shakeing effect but work fine on xp how to fix this | 16:33 |
| soreau | madura: I already told you how to fix it and the only way while using fglrx is to turn off compiz | 16:33 |
| grendal_prime | ubottu: lts | 16:33 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip28 | prince: installed and configured video drivers? | 16:33 |
| filipechichorro | ok thank you both for the support! i'll try it! | 16:33 |
| soreau | joaopinto: Yes, you will definitely need xorg-edgers for any ati HD card | 16:33 |
| Apollo2366 | h00k: Well I did have TwinView enabled, but it looked horrible because the monitors are different sizes and seperated by some distance. I guess what I'm trying to achieve is another actual desktop environment. With it's own desktop cube and everything. Is that possible? | 16:33 |
| prince | is their any way to do cpp in ubuntu | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip28 | elyia_dehoffran; could try the 64bit plugin if your Ubuntu is 64bit | 16:34 |
| Pici | !compile | prince | 16:34 |
| ubottu | prince: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 16:34 |
| h00k | Apollo2366: oh, okay. And I'm not sure, but keep asking and perhaps someone can help that knows what they're doing :) | 16:34 |
| h00k | I currently have Karmic 32bit with the encrypted home directory set from the installer, I'd like to install the 64bit version instead, how is this going to work with my home directory? | 16:34 |

| Apollo2366 | h00k: Alright. | 16:34 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ActionParsnip28, This is an x86 machine. =( Gonna try installing the libs for swfdec. | 16:35 |
| joaopinto | soreau, the bad thing is that it requires to have stable+unstable package versions, not very good for bug triaging :\ | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip28 | crimescene: boot to root recovery console and uninstall the package using apt-get | 16:35 |
| musictoto | prince: what do you want to know? if there's an IDE, or if you can compile cpp ? | 16:35 |

| ubottu | prince: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition | 16:35 |

| soreau | joaopinto: Probably not.. it is up to the user. I build my own components from git, the kernel, libdrm, xf86-video-ati and mesa. The package names might differ in ubuntu but those are the upstream components you would be using | 16:36 |

| mkanyicy | mbeierl, at least you have something working, yaaay! | 16:37 |
| joaopinto | soreau, right, but that way you can't participate on Ubuntu testing, only on Upstream testing | 16:37 |
| mkanyicy | Mikey00, sudo apt-get install lame | 16:37 |
| Mikey00 | ok will that also install the ffmpeg as well | 16:38 |

| prince | i installed dosbox and turbo cpp using it doest allow me to minimize ide and can not give runtime inputs | 16:38 |
| soreau | joaopinto: Well upstream has to be working before ubnutu can do anything with it. Ubuntu just packages the driver components just like all other distros, they dont develop them directly | 16:39 |
| madura | prince, why won't u use something like code block? | 16:39 |
| mbeierl | mkanyicy: yes, for playback. Can't figure out how to rip it in sequence though... | 16:39 |
| freeride | how to use grep with logical "and" ?? | 16:39 |
| Mikey00 | now what about the downloaded files like mp3 encoder do i have to unzip them or no | 16:39 |

| mkanyicy | Mikey00, yes ffmpeg as well, vorbis-tools as well, faad as well as faac, the list is endless | 16:39 |
| prince | i installed dosbox and turbo cpp using the dosbox.It doest allow me to minimize ide and can not give runtime inputs | 16:39 |
| Mikey00 | o wow | 16:39 |
| mkanyicy | mbeierl, use dvd::rip to rip dvd's | 16:39 |
| mbeierl | plustax: something is probably using it still. have you tried going to a terminal and typing in "eject"? | 16:39 |

| aman | hi all! can anyone help me in rescuing grub in UBUNTU 9.10.???????? | 16:40 |

| alkisg | freeride: e.g. grep 'UUID.*ext3' /etc/fstab | 16:40 |

| hsquared | hi all, what is the miracle about changing grub.cfg ? The only thing I want to change is the default boot system ... | 16:49 |
| Pici | j3ff: Sure. | 16:49 |
| jMyles | musictoto: I looked there, but that guide is very Microsoft-VPN-centric. I was wondering if anybody can recommend a better ubuntu-only guide, even if it is a bit more technical. | 16:49 |
| mkanyicy | durstich-de, can you ping you one machine from another one? | 16:49 |
| hsquared | but docs say everywhere: when you open it your system will be gone ... | 16:50 |
| durstich-de | mkanyicy: Yes | 16:50 |
| aaron11 | Hajex: How do I? I dont see it anywhere | 16:50 |
| crimescene | how do i find the root recovery console? | 16:50 |
| mkanyicy | durstich-de, it worked fine yesterday? | 16:50 |
| h00k | hsquared: yeah, that's not the equivalent to menu.lst in grub2 anymore | 16:50 |

| crimescene | thanx | 16:51 |

| janel | Karmic. When I boot I get black screen and Error 15: file not found. Can get a bash screen. Yesterday I uninstalled and re-installed tzdata. This was a mistake, several files seem to have been deleted at the same time. Is there any way I can get my OS back | 16:55 |

| Diverdude | I have ubuntu 9.10 on a Lenovo T61p. There seems to be a problem with the microphone. I try to go to the sound-recorder application, and record my voice....but only static is played when i try to playback my recorded voice. What might be the problem? | 16:56 |

| ActionParsnip28 | janel: depends on the issue and the connected users | 17:01 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, There is only gnome-volume-control. Is that the one? | 17:01 |

I already instaled a plugin to get the partition editor in the administration panel. i tried to follow the instructions to make | 17:02 |

| Diverdude | Alan502, the mic seems to work in the sound-recorder when i switch it to microphone2 in the gnome-control | 17:08 |
| thetrojan01 | Thank you Very Very VEERY much Pici! :D | 17:08 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, Do you have any experience with making skype work in ubuntu? | 17:08 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip28, but that will let me control the whole computer right? i just want to connnect the monitro over the network, as if it was connected to my computer directly | 17:08 |
| karmst | This room is too flooded | 17:08 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, precisely, i was testing that yesterday. But i did not finish my tests though. | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip28 | pzn: install it to the second drive as well as grub on the second drive, then have the bios boot the current drive. you can remove the server installed system drive and jam it in another system then | 17:09 |
| arisystems | janel: That is a boot error with grub-- the OS is not even starting. I am unsure what the command it withing grub to choose the boot OS. | 17:09 |
| karmst | Alan use IBM Lantastic | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip28 | alan502: the full desktop will be shown, so yes | 17:10 |

| Diverdude | Alan502, hmm... so you got skype working on ubuntu? | 17:10 |
| Guest2469 | I'm back | 17:10 |
| Guest2469 | well... I uninstalled fwcutter | 17:10 |
| Guest2469 | but ndiswrapper still doesn't show the card | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip28 | pzn: you could use the usb-creator to spit the iso + some config to the drive. it will boot like a livecd | 17:11 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, not yet. I'm testing now.. it seems turning up the "microphone booster" helps but there is not a clear sound. It might be the poor quality of my microphone tho. | 17:11 |
| karmst | Ok | 17:11 |
| Tiders | pzn, Sorry Ive missed some stuff... What are you trying to do | 17:11 |

| Diverdude | Alan502, what computer are you testing on? | 17:12 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip28, i'm looking for something more like: http://screenrecycler.com/home.html | 17:12 |
| janel | This forum is too confusing for me. Too many people. thanks for trying to help | 17:12 |
| karmst | like how redirected documents works in windows? | 17:12 |

| ActionParsnip28 | h00k: is it possible to decrypt it, then install 64bit then re-encypt it? i've not used encryptfs as it gets too messy in cases like yous and similar | 17:12 |
| arisystems | janel: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622 I am not even suggesting that this will help you as this is explains grub which will not completely help you just understanding how it works. | 17:12 |

| h00k | ActionParsnip28: I just used the radio button when I installed Karmic | 17:13 |
| arisystems | janel: I suspect that you will be better off simply reloading or booting your cd to repair the os. | 17:13 |

| xcv | Alan502: vnc will allow you to remote control other computers, but it will not send a video signal from your computer to a remote in a fashion similar to having a 2nd monitor (like shown on screenrecyler web page) | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip28 | h00k: yes but a special thing decrypts it. can you cancel the encryption in your current OS? | 17:13 |
| h00k | ActionParsnip28: probably not, no. | 17:14 |
| Alan502 | xcv, yes, that's what i thought. Do you think i can achieve something like screenrecycler on linux? | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip28 | h00k: that all i know then. encryptfs makes life too complicated for my liking | 17:14 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, i found that turning up the mic boost helps | 17:14 |

| Alan502 | Diverdude, and unmuting the mic on the gnome-volume-control | 17:15 |
| h00k | ActionParsnip28: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll log this into my brain | 17:15 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, in the alsamixer? | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip28 | pzn: is it usb connected? | 17:15 |
| xcv | Alan502: i would imagine it's possible, but i have no familiarity with anything that would steer you in the right direction... | 17:15 |
| pzn | ActionParsnip28: yes | 17:15 |
| Tiders | pzn, Hmm why not boot from a LiveCD and just install it to that HDD? | 17:15 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, it should be possible to do it from both. | 17:16 |
| pzn | I can not shutdown the only computer that I have right now... | 17:16 |
| pzn | Tiders: I can not shutdown the only computer that I have right now... | 17:16 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, well...my mic is already umuted and works fine in other applications...just in skype, neither the speakers nor the mic works :( | 17:16 |
| Alan502 | xcv, ok thanks, i think i'll keep googling and maybe find something. I found synergy, what could help, but i haven't tested it | 17:16 |
| xcv | Alan502: of course, you could run a windows virtual machine on ubuntu, and presumably run the screenrecyler software inside the virtual machine | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip28 | pzn: then use a different one is all i can suggest | 17:16 |
| iceroot | how to lock the screen (gdm-gnome) using the cli | 17:17 |

| pzn | ActionParsnip28: maybe install virtualbox and use it to install the new hd? do you think it is a good option? | 17:17 |

| Alan502 | Diverdude, try playing with the 'Sound Devices' tab of the options menu in skype. The official skype app is still young, and can have problems occasionallly. | 17:19 |
| xcv | Alan502: oh, and along the same lines... have you checked to see if wine supports screenrecycler? | 17:19 |
| xcv | Alan502: doubt it would work very well, but ya never know without trying | 17:20 |
| Alan502 | xcv, ah, no i haven't. I'll look it up in the wineHQ. With luck i may find it there. | 17:20 |

And also I wanted to know if my Bluetooth headphones with mic will work. I want to talk to friends on skype. | 17:21 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: if it is only one day, maybe you should just try to reinstall? | 17:22 |
| xcv | Guest81271: don't panic :-) i'm sure it can be fixed, but perhaps the easiest way to resolve is to reinstall ubuntu -- have you tried that? | 17:23 |

| nastaros | Hey, i need help with somthing.. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I want to install Ubuntu Linux and another HDD for multiboot.. anyone can help me please? | 17:24 |
| Guest81271 | xcv and chogydan: i dont want to do that, i have spent tons of time to get all the programs i like and setup xbmc how i want it. This is how it happened: i logged out, and tried to log back in just for the sake of it. Then this mess. | 17:24 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, crap...for some reason there is no sound at all now :( | 17:24 |
| goose | can Ubuntu be dual booted with OS X on a mac? | 17:25 |
| OerHeks | nastaros install the HDD, and download ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, burn on cd+r and off you go | 17:25 |
| Alan502 | xcv, there is nothing in the wineHQ, apparently. I'll look for some other similar apps, one could support linux. Thanks for your help. | 17:25 |
| Hannofcart | Does anyone here have any luck getting drivers to work on Macbook Pro booting Ubuntu? The posts in the forum so far havent helped me get the sound drivers/touchpad drivers/keyboard backlights. Here is the very comprehensive Checkbox report if someone would care to help http://docs.google.com/View?id=dghpjk48_62sh59jqcz | 17:25 |
| nastaros | OerHeks, will Ubuntu show in Windows boot manager? | 17:25 |
| prince | is any one here knows how to compile and run a simple c++ pgm | 17:25 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, lol! what were you configuring the last time you had sound? what disabled the sound? | 17:25 |
| OerHeks | nastaros ubuntu has it's own bootmanager, called grub2 | 17:26 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, just the mic boost in the alsamixer | 17:26 |
| xcv | Alan502: yw | 17:26 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, in the gnome-volume-control, under applications the firefox alsa plug in is also greyed out now | 17:26 |
| prince | is any one here knows how to compile and run a simple c++ pgm using codeblock | 17:26 |
| nastaros | I want to be able to choose to boot on windows 7 or ubuntu at startup | 17:26 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, turn the mic boost all up again. | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | nastaros yes you can | 17:26 |
| nastaros | Ok, Thanks | 17:27 |
| prince | is any one here knows how to compile and run a simple c++ pgm using codeblock | 17:27 |

| prince | so how i compile my pgm | 17:27 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: so, now you can't even log in? Sounds complicated, I've no idea, sorry | 17:27 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, but still no sound in skype though :( | 17:28 |
| sherri | My OmniBook 4150 doesn't seem to activate the Cisco Aironet350 series wireless LAN adapter (OS = Ubuntu 8.04). | 17:28 |
| sherri | Any clues? | 17:28 |
| Hannofcart | prince... can i dcc you? | 17:28 |
| Hannofcart | too many conversations here | 17:28 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, which version of ubuntu are you using? you can try using Empathy for skype | 17:28 |
| Alan502 | !empathy | Diverdude | 17:28 |
| ubottu | Diverdude: Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu (replacing Pidgin). | 17:28 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, i am using 9.10 | 17:28 |
| sherri | I have a 2wire running now (has prism chip) but it seems weak. | 17:28 |
| Guest81271 | chogydan: no, just a terminal with a black background.. During 1 day firefox has crashed like 3 times, and the system one. And ive always heard linux was so stable, windows has never chrashed for me. | 17:28 |
| prince | dcc? | 17:28 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, empathy can use skype account? | 17:29 |
| minimec | Guest81271: So... you don't get the gdm window... Did you activate some restricted hardware driver for your GPU? | 17:29 |
| Diverdude | Alan502, also skype-out? | 17:29 |
| * dox_drum is busy | 17:29 | |
| goose | can Ubuntu be dual booted with OS X on a mac? | 17:29 |
| sherri | Can anyone tell me how to get the Aironet350 to work? | 17:29 |
| * dox_drum is away | 17:29 | |
| Guest81271 | minimec: nope, havent done anything strange. | 17:29 |
| nicolas_ | hello | 17:29 |
| Alan502 | Diverdude, yes, if i recall correctly. Tbh i haven't tested it but empathy's site says it does support skype. | 17:29 |
| SingAlong | hi all | 17:29 |
| monokrome | Why doesn't the new Ubuntu have a /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 17:29 |
| LucidPerry | nastas: Just be careful not to format your Windows partition--if you manage to not do that, Windows should automatically show up in the GRUB boot manager upon boot and you'll be able to select between the opearting systems. | 17:29 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: well, not all software available for linux is stable | 17:30 |
| monokrome | I am trying to add my Windows partition to grub | 17:30 |
| LucidPerry | nastas: Shoot, wrong person. Sorry. | 17:30 |
| ChogyDan | !grub2 | monokrome | 17:30 |
| ubottu | monokrome: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:30 |
| xcv | Guest81271: i had to google 'xbmc' -- looks cool! but still, after only a day, a reinstall will probably be your easiest path to resolution. especially if your home folder is on its own partition; that way most of the settings will be retained | 17:30 |
| Guest81271 | chogydan: but this wasnt any software, i was just loggin in and out :S | 17:30 |
| monokrome | Thanks, ChogyDan. | 17:30 |
| nicolas_ | i have a problem with xorg (i believe not to be the first :P) with karmic and radeon, can someone help me? | 17:30 |
| Guest81271 | xcv: it wasnt^^ hehe | 17:30 |
| Danzl3 | hey, I'm getting this error when I'm trying to install libcurl4-openssl-dev: http://pastebin.ca/1737587 ... anyone know what I should do to fix it ? | 17:31 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ANy ideas for getting sound for youtube? | 17:31 |
| SingAlong | I set WEP encryption on my wifi connection on the modem settings page and set it up on my netbook (ubuntu 9.10) it didnt work. so i disabled the secutiry and made the connection open. but the netbook isnt connecting. i restarted the netbook (deleted the wifi connections and also restarted the modem after changing the settings). it dooesnt seem to work. | 17:31 |
| minimec | Guest81271: So. To get that clear. if you make a cold start of that machine, the system boots until it comes to the X-Server (graphical login screen), but the login screen doesn't show up? Do you have automatic login activated or do you need to type your password normally? | 17:31 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: even if your home isn't on a separate partition, the installer won't overwrite it if you don't repartition. Not something to rely upon, but I believe that is what happens | 17:32 |
| pontic | Monokrome: use grub.cfg | 17:32 |
| aaron11 | Hello there! Im having some trouble with my usb Blue Toothe dongle.

And also I wanted to know if my Bluetooth headphones with mic will work. I want to talk to friends on skype. | 17:32 |
| Guest81271 | minimec: thats about it. i have automated on, so it should just enter. | 17:32 |
| DexterF | if I install gcc-4.2, will it coexist with 4.4 or replace it? | 17:33 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: can you get to one of the virtual terminals? ie ctrl+alt+f1? | 17:33 |
| goose | can Ubuntu be dual booted with OS X on a mac? | 17:33 |
| Guest81271 | im gonna check chogydan.. | 17:33 |
| Guest81271 | chogydan: yes i could | 17:34 |
| minimec | Guest81271: The problem is, that we don't know f you have a user session error, or a general gdm (X-server) error. As The system was working after install, I have to guess that it is a user-session error. | 17:34 |
| ChogyDan | Guest81271: maybe check to see if ubuntu-desktop is installed | 17:34 |
| yayness | using iptables, how can i restrict bandwidth? I have masquerading, this is a gateway | 17:34 |

| Guest81271 | okey | 17:35 |
| Alan502 | Snowboarder, nm, can i help you? i saw ActionParsnip28 helping you | 17:35 |
| minimec | Guest81271: O. Switch to the console F1 and login with your name and password. | 17:36 |
| Danzl3 | anyone? | 17:37 |
| IceMan | Hello! While trying to get various theme engines to work for me, I followed | 17:37 |
| ChogyDan | Danzl3: did you run ./configure? You should ask upstream | 17:38 |
| Snowboarder | it seems that the sound preferences gui were much better in 9.04. Why did they degrade it? | 17:38 |
| minimec | Guest81271: still there? | 17:38 |
| Danzl3 | yea I did... I ChogyDan | 17:39 |
| Danzl3 | that's how I got that error | 17:39 |
| ChogyDan | Snowboarder: its the pulseaudio thing | 17:39 |
| Danzl3 | I've googled and some artive said to install libcurl4-openssl-dev | 17:39 |
| Danzl3 | which I did | 17:39 |
| Danzl3 | but I'm still getting that error | 17:39 |
| IceMan | Hello! When I was going to enable compiz at my desktop, I was asked to install nvidia-glx-new in order for it to work correctly. I did so, rebooted, and found my screen getting black as soon as the login windows appeared. I did a "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new", and I'm back to normal, but now I cannot get any higher resolution than 800x600. Any way to fix it again? | 17:39 |
| Snowboarder | ChogyDan, what is? | 17:40 |
| ChogyDan | Snowboarder: the new sounds preferences, It goes along with the PA sound server | 17:40 |
| monokrome | ChogyDan: That doesn't explain how to manually add an OS | 17:40 |
| Snowboarder | Alan502, yeah...i am having a hard time with skype on ubuntu 9.10 on a T61P thinkpad | 17:41 |
| trism | Danzl3: that isn't an error, it is a warning (which may or may not be important) | 17:41 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | WOuld mozilla plugins make any difference in the lack of sound issue for youtube/ | 17:41 |
| ChogyDan | monokrome: its not autodetected? | 17:41 |
| Dam0 | hey | 17:41 |
| Snowboarder | ChogyDan, I found this on google: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GMF5dyzKQUw/Sfp9GY-XrPI/AAAAAAAABoU/1hLl0Mynyz0/s1600-h/T61_jaunty_sound.png but is unfortunately for 9.04, so I do not have the same adjustment options in 9.10 | 17:41 |
| monokrome | ChogyDan: Yea. It's not autodetected, but I know it's on /dev/sdb - and a script that probes for OS's just found it. | 17:41 |
| Danzl3 | trism... it doesn't compile properly with that error | 17:42 |

| minimec | Guest81271: Are you still with us? | 17:43 |
| trism | Danzl3: that is unlikely to be a warning that would stop you from compiling, it may cause issues after installing though, but without actually knowing what you're trying to build, can't really help much more | 17:43 |
| Snowboarder | Alan502, ahh sorry | 17:44 |
| Dam0 | i have a new pc with 2 hard drives, 1 harddrive is new and one is old...both were working perfect before...but when i installed windows 7 i had to reinstall ubuntu on my second drive again....and evertime i try to run it i just get a blury image on my desktop....any ideas? plz i cant move my mouse i cant even see it....? | 17:44 |

| Dam0 | sorry | 17:44 |
| Dam0 | :) | 17:44 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | I wiped all the installs, then installed flashplugin-installer via synaptics | 17:45 |
| kriox125 | hi people.. | 17:45 |
| Snowboarder | Alan502, yeah....you cannot have skype in empathy it seems | 17:45 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ChogyDan, I wiped all the installs, then installed flashplugin-installer via synaptics | 17:45 |
| ChogyDan | Elyria_DeHoffran: hmm, maybe you have one of the flash alternatives installed? | 17:45 |
| Alan502 | Snowboarder, did you try changing the setting on the Sound Devices tab of skype's option menu? | 17:45 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ChogyDan, Ok, let me uninstall evetything again. =) | 17:46 |
| Dam0 | can anyone recomend me doing anything to help solce my problem? | 17:46 |
| ChogyDan | Elyria_DeHoffran: wait | 17:46 |

| Dam0 | does ubuntu have to run on a eta4 drive? EXtention? | 17:46 |

| Elyria_DeHoffran | Ok.... | 17:46 |
| SingAlong | I set WEP encryption on my wifi connection on the modem settings page and set it up on my netbook (ubuntu 9.10) it didnt work. so i disabled the secutiry and made the connection open. but the netbook isnt connecting. i restarted the netbook (deleted the wifi connections and also restarted the modem after changing the settings). it dooesnt seem to work. | 17:47 |
| Snowboarder | Alan502, yeah i tried many different settings there, hitting "Make test sound" each time....and nomatter what I seem to choose there is just silence when I press the "testsound" button | 17:47 |
| ChogyDan | kriox125: the only answer I have heard is through getdeb.net | 17:47 |
| monokrome | grub2 is evil | 17:47 |
| Dam0 | ok no one can help me i guess | 17:47 |
| nastaros | Hey, I am on Windows 7 atm, and i want to install Ubuntu on Another Hard drive disk... is it possible? | 17:47 |
| Danzl3 | trism, it's libtorrent that I'm trying to build | 17:47 |
| ChogyDan | monokrome: still not detecting? | 17:47 |
| Abs_T | hi | 17:47 |
| Dam0 | : im having trouble it isd possible | 17:47 |
| minimec | kriox125: I don't know why you stiil use 7.04, but OpenOffice 3.1 should run without Problem with old kernels, as it doesn't use any stange kernel modules. | 17:48 |
| Dam0 | nastaros | 17:48 |
| monokrome | ChogyDan: I already read the whole article, tried to get it to autodetect. Doesn't work. I just installed Ubuntu this morning. | 17:48 |

| kriox125 | thanks guys | 17:48 |
| kriox125 | i have an old pc and i try and using on that platform i thik that it'is faster | 17:49 |
| Alan502 | Snowboarder, hmmm... i'm looking if any other app supports skype too | 17:49 |
| Alan502 | !skype | 17:49 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 17:49 |
| kriox125 | sorry for my english | 17:50 |
| Snowboarder | Alan502, did you manage on your computer? | 17:50 |
| kriox125 | i thinks that if i use an old version it's faster or i make a mistake? | 17:50 |
| nahs | I've got this little bug here people, I've reported it I'm wondering if I'm the only one affected | 17:50 |
| nahs | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/503041 | 17:50 |
| SingAlong | anyone on the wifi thing? | 17:51 |
| Alan502 | Snowboarder, yes, but i did not have to configure anything in the skype options. Just the usual on alsamixer. | 17:51 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | ChogyDan, Ok, did that and still no love. | 17:51 |
| ChogyDan | monokrome: well, you can always make your own custom script, but if it isn't detecting, that is also a bug. | 17:51 |
| amitauti | for Skype, I heard that Spokn is in market.. any news its on Ubuntu? | 17:52 |
| minimec | kriox125: I don't think that 7.04 is much faster... On the other hand. 7.04 is not supported anymore. I would install a new Xubuntu Karmic on that machine with ext4 Partitions. THa will speed up you computer... ;) | 17:52 |
| Hannofcart | goose, if you are around... yes.. you can N boot on mac... I am triple booting currently | 17:52 |
| monokrome | ChogyDan: And I know it's detectable, because I downloaded this boot_info_script044.sh that found Windows 7. | 17:52 |
| monokrome | ChogyDan: The scripts are ugly as sin. | 17:52 |
| blakkheim | minimec: even xubuntu is pretty bloated | 17:52 |
| stevenvu | hi i don't usually use irc and need some help | 17:53 |
| trism | Danzl3: libtorrent is in the repos, so you probably don't need to build it unless you really need the latest version; although if you want to build it, do a sudo apt-get build-dep libtorrent11; that should get you everything you need to build it | 17:53 |
| stevenvu | do i just ask for help in here? | 17:53 |
| minimec | blakkheim: Yeah but it will run faster than that old 7.04. | 17:53 |
| amitauti | stevenvu, yes you are right | 17:54 |
| VCoolio | !ask | stevenvu | 17:54 |
| ubottu | stevenvu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:54 |

| Elyria_DeHoffran | ChogyDan, Ok, dunno if this matters, but...I'm running 9.04 x86, all my other sound works, though the voloume control has no effect on anything. Youtube-type sound is the only issue I am having. I ran the install you recommended, but no luck yet. ANy other ideas? | 17:55 |

| blakkheim | Guest80516: drivers for what | 17:56 |
| pzn | danny_: better not be sure the RAM is good, even if the computer is new. it is simple to get an iso image of memtest and boot the computer with it to test the ram. www.memtest86.org | 17:56 |

| stevenvu | I was using 9.10 and was accessing a ntfs partition. I was extracting an archive when the computer became unresponsive. couldn't alt ctrl backspace or get into another tty. I turned off the computer. Turns out i curropted the ntfs partition. windows won't boot, tried chkdsk with /r and /f, which came back with the mft could not be recovered. I then tried testdisk on ubuntu which crashed with a mftsegmentation fault. | 17:57 |

| Halvor | internalkernel: That seems to be the problem, but what can I do about that. Also, it sounds like a strange issue as I should think that installing flash to work with Firefox is a fairly normal thing to do. | 18:21 |

| Mike_lifeguard | That's wrong - should be 1024 length, not 1023 right? Should I simply remove that key, since it is somehow broken? | 18:22 |

| Mike_lifeguard | Mikey001: it is /your/ password | 18:25 |
| blakkheim | Mikey001: if you run a command with "sudo" before it, it's the same password as yours, or you can run "sudo passwd root" to set a root password | 18:25 |
| minimec | Halvor: In fact, what you did, is the same that thousands of ubuntu user did after install, and you are the only one, not to be successfull? That would be starnge... You are on Ubuntu 9.10? | 18:25 |

| internalkernel | Halvor: so it's not there anymore? | 18:36 |
| krio | slesnett: TAKE A LOOK ON UBUNTU OLD VERSION OR SAMTHING LIKE | 18:36 |
| krio | sorry | 18:36 |

| LucidPerry | I just hooked up an old IDE drive to my computer, and after showing the Ubuntu logo I simply get a command prompt that says "Mount of Filesystem failed". I'm unsure of what to do...and I'd normally try to troubleshoot it myself, but I'd rather not lose my operating system. | 18:37 |
| === BlouBlou is now known as xD | ||
| webbb82 | hey can anyone in here give me a hand figuring out why my sound wont work | 18:38 |
| LucidPerry | Also note that the IDE drive is now removed. I simply wanted to see what was on it. | 18:38 |
| Gieke | hello | 18:38 |
| Halvor | internalkernel: I tried cp ./lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | 18:38 |
| slesnett | the quality on the the new versions just don't work with skype. | 18:38 |
| webbb82 | the drivers are installed its not on mute i dunno whats wrong | 18:38 |
| Gieke | is there a way to let 'pidgin' display the songs u listen in rhytmbox | 18:38 |
| goose | when doing a cron job which has arguments, can I do: | 18:38 |
| goose | 0 * * * * * 'pisg -arguments blah blah' | 18:38 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: ok, then try this: sudo update-alternatives /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so "firefox-flashplugin" /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 50 | 18:38 |

| slesnett | bye | 18:39 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | webbb82, Look in sounds, and see what options you have. I had to edit through there to get my sound working. | 18:39 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: you can also do the same for mozilla: sudo update-alternatives /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so "mozilla-flashplugin" /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 5 | 18:39 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | And youtiube stil has issues.. =) | 18:40 |
| webbb82 | im doing that rite now and i dont see anything that would not give me sound | 18:40 |

| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 18:40 |
| epinky | LucidPerry: boot LiveCD and check /etc/fstab, sometimes IDE is set as "sdX" when it should be "hdX" in your case | 18:40 |
| Halvor | internalkernel: update-alternatives: unknown argument `/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so' | 18:40 |
| Hilikus | goose: you dont need ' | 18:40 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so "firefox-flashplugin" /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so 50 | 18:41 |
| goose | Hilikus: I can just put the command after the time format? | 18:41 |
| Hilikus | goose: anything after 6 arguments is part of the command | 18:41 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: sorry forgot the --install argument | 18:41 |
| Hilikus | goose: yes | 18:41 |
| goose | ok, thanks very much Hilikus | 18:41 |

| mengu | hi. anyone using gitweb with ubuntu? | 18:42 |
| Marove | Hello, i have a problem with multiboot on a existing windows xp partition, i've installed ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on a free, unformated disc-space, now when i start, there is this message: no boot device available. Is it possible to repair this? | 18:42 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: that command is updating the sym-links that ubuntu looks for... | 18:42 |
| Halvor | internalkernel: I don't know what sym links are | 18:42 |
| mediaprodigy | question.. i have a dell optiplex sx260 | 18:42 |
| mediaprodigy | its a small tiny desktop with laptop parts | 18:43 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: a sym-link is a shortcut (for lack of a better term) to a real file in a different location... | 18:43 |
| mead | hello I am attempting to follow these instructions http://www.pendrivelinux.com/make-a-usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-9-10/ but once I get to the part where I need to burn the CD I can't seem to unmount the ubuntu CD in my drive and get it to eject so I can burn the new disc | 18:43 |
| epinky | Marove: can you boot Wii-ndows? | 18:43 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: this way you can have the same file in different locations without taking up extra disk space | 18:43 |
| mediaprodigy | anyone familiar with this.. does anyone know if a reg pci card would fit in it.. | 18:43 |
| Halvor | internalkernel: OK, so now Firefox should find it in its location? | 18:44 |
| jenda | Any idea why vbox consumes 90%+ of my CPU power for no reason? When I save state and reload it, it consumes about 10% CPU, after several seconds of normal work in two MS Office 2007 windows in the guest Windows XP, it picks up to 90-100 % and stays there, even if I stop working. | 18:44 |
| Marove | epinky: no this message is before everything i can't choose the operating system | 18:44 |
| mead | look at the back of the system mediaprodigy. | 18:44 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: yes, restart firefox - check out youtube... | 18:44 |
| mediaprodigy | mead: i did i is like half the size of your normal pci card.. | 18:44 |
| internalkernel | Halvor: it should also be listed in about:plugins | 18:45 |
| Halvor | internalkernel: Actually, YouTube already works... It's only the flash requiring apps on Facebook that cannot find Flashplayer | 18:45 |
| mead | yeah then your going to have to find the mini/half size pci cards for it, but they do make them | 18:45 |

| mediaprodigy | i wonder is there a mini-pci wireless card compatible with ubuntu | 18:46 |
| Gieke | can u show the songs u listen in rhytmbox in empathy | 18:46 |

| mediaprodigy | helo | 18:52 |
| mead | then your prolly not going to find a driver, return it and do some reseach on finding a model that will work with it, or figure out a way to get networking to the box, like using a wireless to ethernet bridge, another computer with internet connection sharing or something | 18:52 |

| mkanyicy | Schwag, is wine installed? | 19:18 |
| Schwag | yes | 19:18 |

| pratik_narain | why is mpd not listening to localhost on karmic | 19:20 |

| afroman | how can I connect just my bluetooth headset to ekiga or twinkle without setting the bluetooth headset as the default sound device?? | 19:20 |
| nohup | or actually it sais apt-get install libavcodec-unstripped-51, which is 52 now :) | 19:20 |
| Schwag | and its not my wine install i have cod4, gta vice city, diablo 2, and several other games running just fine in wine | 19:20 |

| _ganymede | forgot my password for freenode? any suggestions? No staff in #freenode...is that the only way? | 19:26 |
| mkanyicy | Matson, you have to create a cron job, at the very least | 19:26 |
| kloeri | hi _ganymede | 19:26 |
| grawity | _ganymede: I see many staffers there | 19:26 |
| bowenl2 | matson: you don't need a cron job, what exactly are you trying to re-launch if it fails? | 19:26 |
| _ganymede | :( | 19:26 |
| kloeri | _ganymede: which account? | 19:26 |
| grawity | _ganymede: Just ask in #freenode and someone will reset the password. | 19:26 |
| bowenl2 | matson: one thing you could do is put it in a loop and check the return status just with bash | 19:26 |
| kon_ | yassine, yep it seems like | 19:26 |
| Matson | bowenl2: just a perl script | 19:26 |

| kloeri | grawity: thanks for the help :) | 19:27 |
| bowenl2 | but generally you'd want to modify the perl script so it wouldn't fail :-p | 19:27 |
| kon_ | but from where i have no idea. i will keep investiating, let me know when you find something yassine. | 19:27 |
| bowenl2 | matson: under what circumstances would it fail | 19:28 |
| Matson | bowenl2: I don't know - it uses a lot of libraries I didn't write. | 19:28 |
| Matson | bowenl2: Perl POE, for example | 19:28 |
| yassine | kon_, doing the same here ill share any success with you | 19:28 |
| Matson | bowenl2: which is stable/reliable, but I want it always running | 19:28 |
| kon_ | yassine, you plan to ever use gdm? probably we should just remove it | 19:28 |
| Matson | looks like upstart will do what I want, but it seems like a lot to install | 19:29 |
| yassine | kon_, yes i do its for debugging puropose that i want to deactive it | 19:29 |
| kon_ | however i've seen update-rc.d -f gdm remove as the solution to our question in many places. so it's weird | 19:29 |
| bowenl2 | matson: have you had trouble with it failing in the past? i'm just confused because typically when you run something it won't just randomly exit in an exceptional case. a bash one-liner with an infinite loop would do in a pinch | 19:29 |
| kevin__ | I just do not understand this | 19:29 |

| pratik_narain | why is mpd not listening to localhost on karmic | 19:32 |
| === cp is now known as Guest9658 | ||
| mkanyicy | nastaros, you should use ext3 or even ext4 format to install ubuntu | 19:32 |
| trijntje | nastaros, thats not related to the filesystem (the format) that you choose | 19:32 |
| bowenl2 | matson: that's some crazy stuff! kewl | 19:32 |

| Victory444 | Hi guys, I have a question about my the fan in my laptop. Its a Toshiba L505-S5971. I have have installed lm-sensors, and the only module that will work with my hardware is coretemp. The critical temp of my cpu its telling me is 85C, the fan turns on at 70C, and I've been told this is too hot running inside a laptop. I found on some forums to put acpi_osi="Linux" in the grub configuration, and I've done this but the fan stil does not turn on untiil the | 19:34 |
| Victory444 | cpu temp reaches 70C. Also, after the fan turns on, it will not slow down or shutoff untill the laptop is rebooted. Has anyone seen this issue before or have any idea on how to lower the fan trip temp? | 19:34 |

| bowenl2 | elyria, | 19:34 |
| bowenl2 | it should be gedit /etc/fstab | 19:34 |

| Elyria_DeHoffran | bowenl2, Thanks. The joys of being a newb. =) | 19:34 |
| kon_ | yassine, it seems now i need to ifup eth0 after booting, i don't know why yet though | 19:34 |
| iceroot | Elyria_DeHoffran: it should be /etc/fstab and gksudo instead of sudo | 19:34 |
| kon_ | yassine, yes | 19:34 |
| pratik_narain | mkanyicy: i just installed mpd from the repos and gave command sudo mpd to start it. I get error message "listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use | 19:34 |

| kon_ | yassine, otherwise i wouldn't have said so :) | 19:35 |

| mkanyicy | pratik_narain, then something is using the same port as you are using, change the mpd.conf file | 19:35 |
| yassine | kon_, thanks for sharing!! but i still find it weired that update rc does not take care of the service properly | 19:35 |

| bowenl2 | elyria: gksudo gives you a nice interface :-p | 19:35 |
| bowenl2 | sudo does just fine | 19:35 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | iceroot, , whats the difference between sudo gedit and gksudo? | 19:36 |

| kon_ | yassine, yeah it is weird, especially since it seemed to work at some point for other people (according to the ubuntu forums) | 19:36 |
| iceroot | !gksudo | Elyria_DeHoffran | 19:36 |
| ubottu | Elyria_DeHoffran: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:36 |
| gl1tch3r | Elyria_DeHoffran, gksudo is for graphical apps | 19:36 |

| Victory444 | epinky, yes | 19:37 |
| bowenl2 | Elyria_DeHoffran: you should be using sudo emacs rather than gksudo gedit | 19:37 |
| bowenl2 | specifically sudo emacs -nw /etc/fstab | 19:37 |
| epinky | Victory444: is it a fresh install? | 19:37 |

| planet8 | I am looking for a new netbook, any recommendations? It must be silent (no noise from fan), I am only going to use it for programming and occasionally watch a movie | 19:48 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: Your IP is fine... probably assigned dynamically unless you specifically configured it. | 19:48 |
| gl1tch3r | after the reboot, old my configs are lost, like wallpaper, compiz settings, docky setting, wireless wep keys etc | 19:48 |

| aykut | can andbody help me | 19:49 |
| soreau | gl1tch3r: Sounds like something is happening to your home directory | 19:49 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: Ok. Your router dynamically assigned one for you then. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to ping google.com. | 19:49 |
| karinne | Hi there! I have the stranges problem with my wireless and I don't know if this has to be with the lates update | 19:49 |

| kevin__ | where can you find a pre-built driver package? | 19:50 |
| gl1tch3r | mmhh, and how can I fix this | 19:50 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: How long is the cable run? | 19:50 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | oK, that failed miserably.. | 19:50 |

| karinne | I have a Precision 6400 | 19:51 |
| internalkernel | karinne: that's going to highly depend on your wireless card... | 19:51 |

| ariesbin05 | I have a question | 19:51 |
| timlee | is this the place to ask question of killing process? My question is posted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1372445 | 19:51 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p 2-3 feet, i fthat. | 19:51 |
| Elyria_DeHoffran | karinne I have no issues with 9.10 x64 wireless | 19:52 |
| losha | gl1tch3r: that 'flash' of the old settings just means there's a screenful of data stored in your graphics card. It doesn't mean your actual settings are still there... | 19:52 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: What I'm getting at is, you're not going through 600 feet of cable are you? | 19:52 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: Ok. | 19:52 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p, no | 19:52 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: Have you tried another network cable? Perhaps you have an intermittant connection. | 19:52 |
| gl1tch3r | oohh, I see, so, im being fooled, so, I have to re-configure everything again? | 19:53 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p i was about to say the cable i use to connect to my router could be questionable... i mean it works, but yeah that may be the problem. | 19:53 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: I've seen elusive problems disappear with a simple cable swap-out. | 19:53 |
| gl1tch3r | losha, I have to reconfig everything again then? | 19:53 |
| ariesbin05 | whenever I run sudo escputil -i -r /dev/usb/lp0, I get a "segmentation fault" error | 19:53 |
| ariesbin05 | any reason for this? | 19:53 |
| gl1tch3r | so, my wifi wep keys are lost for good? | 19:54 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: I'd give that a shot and do some testing to see if the problem returns. | 19:54 |
| losha | karinne: just because Elyria_DeHoffran'a hardware works fine doesn't guarantee yours will (unless she has the exact same hardware). Try googling your model number and os version and see if it's s known problem. You may need to google the actual wifi chip number itself... | 19:54 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p, but the issue with swapping out this 'questionable cable' is that i'd have to use one of my 25' ones | 19:54 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: That's fine. | 19:54 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p, allright | 19:55 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: You're usually good to several hundred feet if the cable is good quality and the connectors are in good shape. | 19:55 |
| timlee | losha: What commands do you use to "try killing the child process first, then kill its parent process"? Thanks! | 19:55 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p, ok | 19:55 |
| gl1tch3r | someone just answer me yes or no :P | 19:55 |
| Nalleman | help me turn of the bongo drums! | 19:55 |
| Sabre-night | rob_p, thanks, i'll give it a try. | 19:55 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: But even a short 1 foot cable with, "iffy" connections can cause no end of trouble. | 19:55 |
| ariesbin05 | any suggestions on my problem? | 19:56 |
| gl1tch3r | wep keys then lost and I have to reconfig again? | 19:56 |
| losha | gl1tch3r: msybe. I'm no expert on the fancy gui stuff. I've just experience the 'ghost' phenomenon you've observed where old screenshots seem to live on in graphics memory... | 19:56 |
| rob_p | Sabre-night: Good luck.\ | 19:56 |

| cprxmm7 | blakkheim: but is it $200 bad? | 19:59 |

| ubottu | lwieise87: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 20:01 |
| blakkheim | nastaros: check your IDE/SATA cables, check if the hdd is dead | 20:02 |
| karinne | and still the same error with the wireless. At the begining everythig is fine, but later it fails | 20:02 |
| nastaros | Blakkheim, I can access my HDD from my Windows installation and copy files on it | 20:02 |
| lwieise87 | i've tried burning the .cue file with the included Brasero program but it stays on "Preparing to burn CD" for over 15min. | 20:03 |
| nastaros | I'm also able to format it, I just formatted it in EXT3 | 20:03 |
| mkanyicy | nastaros, pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" and "df -h" | 20:03 |
| losha | nastaros: that's good. it presumably means the problem is config/software, not hardware. What kind of disk is it? | 20:03 |
| lwieise87 | someone on here told me that program is very buggy so that person recommended K3B | 20:03 |
| nastaros | Seagate barracuda | 20:03 |
| losha | lwieise87: brasero is notorious for being full of bugs. I recommend k3b instead.... | 20:03 |
| nastaros | sata | 20:03 |
| lwieise87 | it may have been you that reocommend it then. | 20:04 |
| nastaros | mkanyicy, im new to linux, can you tell me more | 20:04 |

| danopia__ | tapio, i have one pictures that's designed to stretch accross dual screens | 20:06 |
| karmst | Just the background to be on each screen | 20:06 |
| losha | kanyicy: k3b *is* a 'heavy' app, but it works, unlike brasero. I find brasero users are rarely interested in burning from the command line. Feel free to offer an alternative... | 20:06 |
| karmst | but the windows be able to go between them | 20:06 |
| tapio | Its the most annoying thing about gnome, imo. | 20:07 |

| karmst | what's the best FLAC player for ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| blakkheim | karmst: mpd | 20:07 |
| danopia__ | tapio, i think xfce lets you have wallpapers act like on windows; not sure abuot GNOME | 20:08 |
| mkanyicy | !best | karmst | 20:08 |
| ubottu | karmst: 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. | 20:08 |
| tapio | danopia__: Yeah, both XFCE and KDE 4x does it. | 20:08 |
| losha | lwieise87: burning from the command line will work much better than brasero. Not everyone is willing to use the cli though.... | 20:08 |

| suns | #skjs | 20:12 |
| lwieise87 | losha how do i burn with K3B through the command line? | 20:13 |
| grawity | protojay: start by telling us the exact command you are trying to use, and the exact error message you get. | 20:13 |
| mkanyicy | losha, it's karmst who is having FLAC issues | 20:13 |
| grendal_prime | bas get out of x then aptitude and remove the kubuntu-netbook package? | 20:13 |
| nastaros | mkanyicy, here the link ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2525f38c | 20:13 |

| grawity | protojay: I said "the _exact_ error message" - pastebin it | 20:14 |
| grendal_prime | bas. that package im pretty sure has all of the desktop packages dependent on it. | 20:14 |
| losha | lwieise87: what file(s) are you trying to burn? | 20:14 |
| blakkheim | jelly-bean: maybe you shouldn't be running a server if you don't know about that | 20:14 |

| tapio | karinne: On one of my laptops the wifi allways turns off after a poweroff. I need to press the FN+foo before ubuntu boots, or else it doesn't work | 20:20 |
| losha | lwieise87: you need something like: sudo cdrdao write -n --driver generic-mmc-raw --device /dev/cdrom --speed 20 --eject -v 5 cd1.cue You'll need to adjust various parameters to suit your local setup | 20:20 |

| jblaney | when using ndiswrapper for wifi drivers, should the kernel mod and driver match? lspci reveals that the driver is ndiswrapper but the kernel mod is rt2500pci | 20:22 |
| deviad | I followed this guide: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Multimedia/Audio/Jack | 20:22 |
| Guest13787 | iceroot: that didnt do anything! This all started when i logged out once and played around with things, i think you can turn off x there somewhere or something like that, im a noob so i dont know. | 20:23 |
| deviad | The author didn't mention that a real time kernel was needed, but reading old threads in the English forums I learnt that a rt kernel is needed. Hence I have installed the .9-rt kernel | 20:23 |
| mazzter | ok, so i have the Acer Aspire 5532 (laptop) and it has the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics. The hardware Driver application finds the driver but... when i install it it gives me an error | 20:23 |

| mkanyicy | nastaros, when did you create that ext3 partition? | 20:23 |
| nastaros | few minutes ago | 20:24 |
| losha | deviad: gotta love those authors and their 'minor' missing details.... | 20:24 |
| deviad | Installing a rt kernel solved also an issue I was having in recordmydesktop prompting: Broken pipe | 20:24 |
| Guest13787 | iceroot: hehe. In like the bottom right cornet, there are some options, dont remember really. I used a tv as screen, and didnt see exactly what i was doing. | 20:24 |
| mkanyicy | nastaros, ok, restart the computer and try again | 20:24 |
| nastaros | i did try | 20:24 |
| Masterztuky | Hello, is there a sub channel of ubuntu which deals with hardware? | 20:25 |
| mkanyicy | nastaros, did you reboot ever since your created the ext3 partition? | 20:25 |
| deviad | Anyhow, I also read a full thread with people getting mad at Ubuntu developers for their handling of realtime package back into 2008 | 20:25 |
| iceroot | deviad: noone will read your story about many lines. because of that i said "use a detailed question in one line" | 20:25 |

| MTecknology | Any ideas what I'm missing? | 20:34 |
| ron__ | mkanyicy how do you mean? | 20:34 |
| VCoolio | Guest13787: since karmic you should use "sudo service gdm start/stop/restart" I think | 20:34 |
| MenZa | VCoolio: correct. | 20:34 |
| mkanyicy | ron__, I mean php and mysql are not ubuntu | 20:34 |

| ron__ | mkanyicy its on my ubuntu server | 20:35 |

| MenZa | Halvor: I believe there are some up on http://gnome-look.org. | 20:36 |
| rob_p | ron__: As I said, you could probably find some clues in logs and/or by enableing verbose feedback for php script execution. | 20:36 |
| VCoolio | Guest13787: the other one you used already did the trick then; but your problem was solved right? | 20:36 |

| rob_p | ron__: You can set them, restart apache2, reproduce the error, and view the output. After you fix it, simply change the php.ini config back to how it was and restart apache2. | 20:39 |
| VCoolio | Guest13787: don't know then; it's the usual way to start gdm; maybe "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" solves something | 20:39 |

| VCoolio | Guest13787: doesn't sound right, but sorry, can't help; did you mess with video drivers lately? | 20:42 |

| nastaros | mkanyicy, thanks | 20:53 |

| Ziber | Why when I sudo -u USER -i, and try to use screen, I get: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/3' - please check. | 20:53 |
| JakobSteinn | have you looked in the forums? | 20:54 |
| Shipmaster | Hi newbie here. Scrounged the forums just cant get a grip on installing outside apps. | 20:54 |
| losha | Fog: actually, the recommended way is 'sudo -i' .... | 20:54 |
| dtolj | Shipmaster: use synaptic | 20:54 |

| afroman | somebody here must be using ekiga, how do I fix the bluetooth headset? | 20:55 |
| Fog | losha yeah cause i was told i should never ever have to use 'su' in ubuntu, that sudo can do everything. is that true? | 20:55 |

| DracoWork | Im having difficulty switching into a session of virtualbox OSE thats running centos. I click in the windows but 90% of the time I get no response. | 20:55 |
| dtolj | anyone have experience setting up a bridge on ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| bean | Fog: no, if you're needing to do input redirection to do something as root you need to use su | 20:56 |
| JakobSteinn | shipmaster do like this: goto: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager | 20:56 |
| mkanyicy | Fog, thats true | 20:56 |
| mkanyicy | bean, there is a workaround that doesn't need su | 20:56 |
| guntbert | bean: no, thats not true - sudo -i does all you need | 20:56 |
| hajmola | anyone know why my VGA out to an external display won't let me run it at highest resolution? | 20:56 |

| SetiAmon | hey I was interested in picking up a wireless keyboard/mouse but they all say windows,and have windows drivers.are there wireless keyboard/mouses that work with linux(9.04) to be exact | 20:57 |
| Fog | sudo -i gzip -c foo.gz > bar.gz isnt working though | 20:57 |
| Fog | nor is wrapping it in single quotes | 20:57 |
| losha | Fog: it's *almost* true. There is only one scenario I know about where it isn't true, and that's when your disk fails to fsck properly during boot (which is thankfully rare) | 20:57 |
| Pici | Fog: sudo will not cross IO redirection operators, this will work though: gzip -c foo.gz | sudo tee bar.bz | 20:58 |
| JakobSteinn | how do i join the "classroom" channel? | 20:58 |
| guntbert | Fog: its a 2 step process: 1) sudo -i then 2) gzip.... | 20:58 |
| DrManhattan | how do I use apt-get to update my packages? it's apt-get update? | 20:58 |
| losha | Fog: that because you have to type sudo -i <return> and wait for the prompt before issuing the gzip portion of the command | 20:58 |
| === coop3r_ is now known as coop3r | ||
| mkanyicy | Fog, sudo bash -c "gzip -c foo.txt > bar.gz" should work | 20:58 |
| Pici | JakobSteinn: Do you mean #ubuntu-classroom ? | 20:58 |
| bean | DrManhattan: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 20:59 |
| Wunderkind | is there a way for me to test mpdscribble- it doesn't seem to be scrobbling | 20:59 |
| losha | DrManhattan: you must first to 'apt-get update' and then do 'apt-get upgrade'. Or just use 'synaptic'.... | 20:59 |
| dtolj | How to disable firewall on Ubuntu? | 20:59 |
| bean | DrManhattan: need to be root, or you can sudo it | 20:59 |
| mkanyicy | bean, Fog you make the supersuser BASH session then everything works | 20:59 |
| bean | mkanyicy: sudo su - works ;) | 20:59 |

| Sabre-night | rob_p, yo, so i have seen no disconntctions yet but it is still very sluggidh | 21:00 |

| adamb | I can run a rsync 5 times in a row and no no "files" will be transfered, but it will list all my directories. when I do a rsync -i, it says the times have changed, it lists 't' Anyone know how I can only list the files transfered and thats all? | 21:44 |
| Fog | sftp does all the ftp commands, just over ssh | 21:44 |
| brummbaer | ganymede, i don't know about nm-applet, but i know wicd will let you kill wicd-client (the taskbar applet) and maintain the connection | 21:44 |
| bogdomania | floating1, did u installed the drivers for the vid card? try using the vesa driver first and see if it works | 21:44 |
| linxeh | Fog: with a totally differnet protocol to ftp. it isnt tunneled ftp | 21:44 |
| floating1 | bogdomania: I didn't do anything. I'm not familiar changing the drivers, but I guess I manage if I google | 21:45 |
| linxeh | I still dont see what this has to do with guis. scp can do dozens of files at a time (or thousands, and recursively) too. | 21:45 |
| Fog | linxeh anyway you want sftp | 21:45 |
| mylisto2 | audiohack: since there are like 2 or 3 img files, should I burn them each to a dvd? | 21:45 |
| bogdomania | /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 21:45 |
| floating1 | I try | 21:45 |
| jdolan | hi, what package provides man pages for glibc functions? | 21:45 |
| audioHack | mylisto2: Yep. You can verify they are actually ISO's by type "file imagename.img" | 21:46 |
| mead | what is the name/location of the gui file managment program for ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| audioHack | It'll probably say it's an ISO. | 21:46 |
| mylisto2 | audiohack: do I do that in terminal? | 21:46 |
| audioHack | yep. | 21:46 |
| brummbaer | mead, nautilus? | 21:46 |
| Fog | "As the SCP protocol implements file transfers only, GUI SCP clients are rare, as implementing it requires additional functionality (directory listing at least). For example, WinSCP defaults to the SFTP protocol. Even when operating in SCP mode, clients like WinSCP are typically not pure SCP clients, as they must use other means to implement the additional functionality (like the ls command)." | 21:46 |
| Fog | "This in turn brings platform-dependency problems. Thus it may not be possible to work with a particular SCP server using a GUI SCP client, even if you are able to work with the same server using a traditional command line client." --wikipedia's scp page | 21:46 |
| guntbert | linxeh: ok - I admit my arguments were weak :) | 21:46 |
| audioHack | I mean, chances are high that it's going to just work fine :-) | 21:46 |
| floating1 | bogdomania: there is no such file as /etc/X11/Xorg.conf tho | 21:47 |
| Darkedge | Anyone here managed to get elementry working? | 21:47 |
| mead | I guess, I need to copy a file onto a usb disc that I just created, and I'll be damned if I am gonna spend the time to figure out how to find the file and copy it to another location in CLI | 21:47 |
| e-head | Hey, is there a fancy ubuntu way to set up Samba? | 21:47 |
| bogdomania | floating1, it has to be.. | 21:47 |
| e-head | Or should I just edit the samba file in vi? | 21:47 |
| ganymede | brummbaer, thanks, i switched to wicd and my pings are ultra-low now (previously had an nm-applet issue). i'll figure out how to make it my primary connection manager later | 21:48 |
| audioHack | e-head: that's how I do it. | 21:48 |
| mylisto2 | audiohack: | 21:48 |
| Weric | e-head: isnt it setup default? | 21:48 |
| floating1 | I think ubuntu don't use Xorg.conf nowadays ? I actually have edited that file earlier, but I remember smth like this | 21:48 |
| floating1 | but I'll find a way | 21:48 |
| bogdomania | it does | 21:48 |

| faileas | anyone here use checkinstall? I'm wondering, for a package that requires something else, i just need to copy and paste the names of the packages it needs right? | 21:50 |
| davez0r | i've got a package manager question- I did an apt-get install <package> and it downloaded and ran a script to help me set it up. I accidentally hit escape and the installer script quit. I've tried apt-get remove and apt-get install again, but it doesn't seem to invoke that install script again. Anyone know a trick for getting that to run? | 21:51 |
| audioHack | mylisto2: that's odd, but give it a burn with Brasero. you'll want to open it with the *.cue file. Each disc is a *.cue / *.img pair. | 21:51 |
| mylisto2 | hmm...kinda of confused... | 21:51 |
| audioHack | Open up Brasero and select burn image | 21:51 |
| mylisto2 | so do I do image burn... | 21:52 |
| audioHack | Yep. | 21:52 |
| mylisto2 | ok now it only shows the .cue files...not the img files | 21:52 |
| audioHack | Yep. | 21:53 |
| audioHack | Select the first *.cue file. That'll burn it. | 21:53 |
| === crowd[JeRe] is now known as crowd | ||

| edbian | dragondon, hi | 21:58 |
| dragondon | i know there is a command to search within a bunch of files for a particular string but don't recall it at the moment. | 21:59 |
| malik_ | is it possible that i make such a cable and connect one External HDD to two pcs?? http://www.dps.uibk.ac.at/~malik/usb.png | 21:59 |
| erUSUL | dragondon: grep | 21:59 |
| malik_ | I dont intend to use it with both at the same time | 21:59 |
| edbian | malik_, no | 21:59 |
| malik_ | but i want to avoid switching | 21:59 |
| dragondon | thanks! | 21:59 |
| edbian | malik_, well, maybe if you didn't use both at the same time... | 22:00 |
| edbian | malik_, But I doubt such a cable exists | 22:00 |
| edbian | malik_, If you had a file server you could connect the external HDD to that and then connect the client machines to the file server. | 22:00 |
| redleaf | Darkedge, http://www.quickpwn.com/2009/06/how-to-jailbreak-with-redsn0w.html/comment-page-2 | 22:01 |
| edbian | malik_, Even if you only had 1 file server and 1 client ;) | 22:01 |
| malik_ | i can make one, my concern is that if i make such a cable and i mount the hdd on one pc , then what if the second device is also powered on, will it hurt the disk ? | 22:01 |
| hajmola | anyone have any experience with external displays and nvidia-settings? | 22:01 |
| malik_ | i considered that but then i need to have the server always powered on | 22:01 |
| edbian | malik_, yeah, you would | 22:02 |
| edbian | malik_, I have no idea. Having two OS's mounting 1 disk would probably not be good though. | 22:03 |
| malik_ | and in this case the switching comes in :) that i wanted to avoid. | 22:03 |
| malik_ | well if they dont try to mount it but one have mounted and the other pc is just powered on, Is there a danger in that case? | 22:03 |
| edbian | malik_, idk :( | 22:03 |
| alphafox | hello | 22:04 |
| malik_ | :) ok, thanks anyways.. | 22:04 |
| edbian | malik_, Good luck!! | 22:04 |
| malik_ | thanks | 22:04 |
| alphafox | can someone tell me how a hdd "DATA" with fs=NTFS can be automounted at logon? | 22:04 |
| edbian | alphafox, I can | 22:05 |
| edbian | alphafox, you need to edit /etc/fstab | 22:05 |
| davez0r | erUSUL: thanks for the tip. I actually just did apt-get purge which appears to have done what I wanted. Thanks! | 22:06 |
| alphafox | okay cool | 22:06 |
| Salva1 | Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. | 22:06 |
| Salva1 | Help, please. | 22:06 |
| edbian | alphafox, Really helpful guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 22:06 |
| melter | is there an ubuntu app similar to twitterrific? | 22:06 |
| edbian | alphafox, Come up with the line you think you need to add to the file and show me it. I'll make corrections | 22:07 |
| brummbaer | melter, gwibber is great for social networks. | 22:07 |
| Salva1 | Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. | 22:08 |
| alphafox | /dev/mapper/nvidia_ccafaefd1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 22:08 |
| alphafox | this is my original home driv | 22:08 |
| Salva1 | It happens when I make a configuration change in nvidia-settings. | 22:08 |
| alphafox | i think it needs to be: /dev/mapper/nvidia_ccafaefd4 | 22:08 |
| edbian | alphafox, Are you using ubuntu? | 22:09 |
| alphafox | yeah | 22:09 |
| Tiders | How do you install a .sh | 22:09 |
| bogdomania | Tiders, be more specific | 22:10 |
| edbian | alphafox, I've never seen a hard drive with a device name like that. Can you find your home partition in the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?? | 22:10 |
| alphafox | it's because i have a raid configuration | 22:10 |
| edbian | Tiders, sudo apt-get install <nameOfShell> | 22:10 |
| Tiders | bogdomania, Install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh | 22:10 |
| edbian | alphafox, I've never done his with a raid config but we'll try it anyway. I have no idea if /dev/mapper/... is right though. | 22:10 |
| bogdomania | you want to run that script | 22:11 |
| alphafox | i think it needs to be something like /dev/mapper/ccafeafd4 Data ntfs | 22:11 |
| alphafox | but i dont know what options to give it | 22:11 |
| edbian | alphafox, what is "Data" the mount point? | 22:11 |
| Tiders | bogdomania, That installs it? | 22:11 |
| alphafox | yeah | 22:11 |
| alphafox | the name of the harddrive | 22:11 |
| Salva1 | Hello. I cannot move the cursor into my session but I can into the logging prompt. | 22:11 |
| alphafox | partition actually | 22:11 |
| Salva1 | It happens when I make a configuration change in nvidia-settings. | 22:11 |
| Darkedge | How do I add a key? Having big probs here -_- | 22:12 |
| edbian | alphafox, the volume name doesn't matter. The mount point should be /home/<yourUser> unless it is the entire home in which case the mount point should be "/home" understand? | 22:12 |
| alphafox | edbian i got it from sudo blkid | 22:12 |
| alphafox | the ccafaefd4 | 22:13 |
| edbian | alphafox, what does "sudo fdisk -l" call it? Can you find it in "sudo fdisk -l" | 22:13 |
| alphafox | no cant find it there | 22:14 |
| edbian | alphafox, ok, then use what you have I guess (I don't have high expectations for this working btw). | 22:14 |
| edbian | alphafox, Show me the line you have worked so far | 22:14 |
| alphafox | i can also use /dev/sdc4 | 22:14 |
| alphafox | that's the same | 22:14 |
| edbian | alphafox, That is what we want here. /dev/sdc4 | 22:14 |
| alphafox | okay cool | 22:15 |
| edbian | alphafox, Show me the line you have worked out using /dev/sdc4 | 22:15 |
| alphafox | i dont have a line like that in the fstad | 22:15 |
| alphafox | fstab* | 22:15 |
| === danopia__ is now known as danopia | ||
| edbian | alphafox, yeah, we need to add one. It's going to start with "/dev/sdc4..." do you know what else goes into it? | 22:16 |
| === LJR_ is now known as LJR | ||
| alphafox | mount point? like Data | 22:16 |
| alphafox | then type, like ntfs | 22:16 |
| === nero_ is now known as ubuntu | ||
| mkanyicy | edbian, what if alphafox's fstab uses UUID's? | 22:17 |
| edbian | alphafox, mount point is "the place in the filesystem that this drive will show up" You can put it anywhere. /media/disk1 or /home/you/myHDD or (in our case) /home to replace the home folder. | 22:17 |
| ubuntu | hi | 22:17 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, It is not necessary in this case | 22:17 |
| edbian | alphafox, do you want to use UUIDs ? | 22:17 |
| === ubuntu is now known as unbuntuRookie | ||
| mkanyicy | edbian, was nursing fears over mounting same partition twice | 22:17 |
| alphafox | i dont know what a UUID is... | 22:17 |
| alphafox | sorry im a bit of a noob in linux | 22:18 |
| edbian | alphafox, a UUID uniquely identifies a partition. the idea being that you can swap out the hard drive without confusing ubuntu | 22:18 |
| edbian | alphafox, no worries! | 22:18 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, it's something like a serial number of the partition but not exactly that | 22:18 |
| alphafox | oh, i dont want to use that | 22:18 |
| BearJog | join #ubuntu-ru | 22:18 |
| edbian | alphafox, ok | 22:18 |
| alphafox | i dont need to swap drives | 22:18 |
| edbian | alphafox, so the line so far "/dev/sdc4 /home ntfs-3g ..." | 22:19 |
| edbian | alphafox, right? | 22:19 |
| alphafox | no the line is like this | 22:19 |
| alphafox | /dev/sdc4 Data ntfs | 22:19 |
| alphafox | needs to be /dev/sdc4 /media/Data ntfs i suppose | 22:20 |
| edbian | alphafox, Data is incorrect. The mount point is "where in the file system should this partition be placed" get it? | 22:20 |
| edbian | alphafox, It's a path name like /media/disk1 or /home/you/myPartition understand? | 22:20 |
| alphafox | yeah | 22:20 |
| edbian | alphafox, so for you it should be /home right? | 22:21 |
| alphafox | when i access the drive it appears in the directory /media | 22:21 |
| alphafox | can i keep it there? | 22:21 |
| edbian | alphafox, yeah if you want. Ubuntu put it there automatically | 22:21 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, edbian but I don't recommend making a persistent hard disk mount point under /media directory, rather go for the /mnt directory | 22:21 |
| alphafox | why is that mkanyicy? | 22:22 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, alphafox I was about to say. /media is usually for temp mount points. For more common ones you should use /mnt. Really though it's personal preference | 22:22 |
| alphafox | oh okay | 22:22 |
| alphafox | the mnt is better | 22:22 |
| edbian | alphafox, It's mostly about doing things the "correct" way. | 22:22 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, because ubuntu puts auto-creates mount points under /media based on the label of the removeable drive | 22:22 |
| alphafox | okay cool | 22:22 |
| alphafox | so that's only for usb drives and cd's | 22:23 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, exactly, you are right | 22:23 |
| edbian | alphafox, you should make a folder in /mnt so you can use it for more than one drive. So you'll mount this partition into "/mnt/<someFolder>" | 22:23 |
| MHz128 | Is it possible to run 32bit Windows with Wine under Ubuntu 64bit? | 22:23 |
| jatt | does ubuntu one work with 9.10? | 22:23 |
| alphafox | alright so the line should be something like /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs | 22:23 |
| MHz128 | windows apps | 22:23 |
| edbian | alphafox, Is there a /mnt/Data folder? | 22:23 |
| alphafox | no i will create one | 22:24 |
| edbian | alphafox, k | 22:24 |
| ZAHER | what the command to add cd as repositories? | 22:24 |
| alphafox | i should give my user the rights to the folder right?!? | 22:24 |
| edbian | alphafox, Careful, the permissions on this folder dictate the permissions of the entire partition. | 22:24 |
| alphafox | alright, could you help me with that? | 22:24 |
| edbian | alphafox, no problem | 22:24 |
| alphafox | the directory is made | 22:25 |
| edbian | alphafox, using a terminal go to /mnt and type ls | 22:25 |
| edbian | alphafox, Do you know how to do that?? | 22:25 |

| alphafox | i made the direcotry Data | 22:25 |
| edbian | Danskmand, You can use "sudo aptitude search <someName>" | 22:25 |
| edbian | alphafox, ls -l will show you the permissions on the file. It shows some dashes and letters. Either r w or x | 22:25 |

| Cheguerz | hello folks, how would one go about updating to this package(if it is a package) "devicekit-disks - 009-1ubuntu3".I have a mybook you see, and smartware(backup software pops up as a virtual cd.Im on karmic koala, latest | 22:26 |
| frostburn | Danskmand, apt-cache search java|grep sun | 22:26 |
| edbian | alphafox, root is the owner and root is the group in this case | 22:26 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, edbian I don't think you can set permissions to the NTFS filesystem using chmod, chown or chattr | 22:26 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, I'm pretty sure it follows the folder it's in | 22:27 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, edbian same goes for FAT32 | 22:27 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, nope | 22:27 |
| checco64 | Ciao a tutti :) | 22:27 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, creating new files I'm pretty sure about | 22:27 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, you have to specify umask in fstab | 22:27 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, well then we'll do that | 22:27 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, i am 100% sure about this | 22:27 |
| Maletor | I need to serve up two domains on my machine. I'm using NGINX. I want to be able to go to one.local member:and two.local on my network. How do I proceed? 'hostname two' ? | 22:27 |
| DrManhattan | why does apt-get upgrade skip some updates that update-manager doesn't? | 22:28 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, What happens if you don't specify umask? | 22:28 |
| DrManhattan | that sort of worries me about using ubuntu as a server, as I don't use a GUI on servers | 22:28 |
| edbian | alphafox, Are you following this? ha ha | 22:28 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, then there will be default permissions i think it is 777 for ntfs | 22:28 |
| checco64 | xdccq get WaReZ|CulT|01 #13 | 22:28 |
| alphafox | hahaha im wondering why you must use a umask | 22:28 |
| alphafox | and what a umask is | 22:28 |
| bogdomania | did any of you guys use/used etqw? and had segfault problems with it? | 22:28 |
| edbian | alphafox, umask stands for user mask. | 22:28 |
| alphafox | oh aoky | 22:29 |
| alphafox | okay* | 22:29 |
| edbian | alphafox, Lets worry about mounting the partition and then worry about permissions. Sound good? | 22:29 |
| alphafox | yeah okay | 22:29 |
| edbian | alphafox, I'm curious about what mkanyicy said | 22:29 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, ok | 22:29 |
| edbian | alphafox, What is the line so far then? | 22:29 |
| edbian | alphafox, "/dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g ..." | 22:30 |
| alphafox | /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs | 22:30 |
| alphafox | /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g | 22:30 |
| asdasd | asdasd | 22:30 |
| edbian | alphafox, Here come the options! you can look up some of them on the website I gave you. The rest can be found in the man page for "mount" do you know how to read man pages? | 22:30 |
| alphafox | yeah | 22:30 |
| Maletor | I need to serve up two domains on my machine. I'm using NGINX. I want to be able to go to one.local member:member:and two.local on my network. How do I proceed? 'hostname two' ? | 22:30 |
| alphafox | man mount | 22:30 |
| edbian | alphafox, cool. I suggest you use "defaults,relatime" | 22:31 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, I thought "defaults 0 0" should be fine ? | 22:31 |
| edbian | alphafox, In fact in that guide I showed you there is an example of an NTFS partition. They have a lot more options most of them regarding permissions so I left them out. | 22:31 |
| ZAHER | what the command to add cd as repositories? | 22:32 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, what does defaults do about relatime? | 22:32 |
| === ptr is now known as pipegeek | ||
| mkanyicy | edbian, I dont know about relatime | 22:32 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, what is relatime? | 22:32 |
| iceroot | mkanyicy: ext3 option | 22:32 |
| mkanyicy | iceroot, is relatime applicable to ntfs? | 22:33 |
| tf2ftw | When hooked into a KVM my monitor is set to "Generic" and can only be in 800x600. ANy way to force it to stay in 1280? Im using restricted driver | 22:33 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, has to do with the stupid unix philosophy of writing to a file the modified date everytime a file is read. google it | 22:33 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, I think it is applicable to any FS when mounted under unix | 22:33 |
| alphafox | i think a rw option is handy ;-) | 22:33 |
| mkanyicy | edbian, thanks for explaining, I think i get the picture | 22:33 |
| edbian | alphafox, rw falls under defaults | 22:33 |
| edbian | mkanyicy, yeah np | 22:33 |
| alphafox | alright | 22:33 |
| mkanyicy | ZAHER, what exactly do you want to achieve? | 22:34 |
| alphafox | then default is okay | 22:34 |
| hackel | I'm suddenly not able to load the Flash plugin in Firefox, getting the following error: failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied | 22:34 |
| alphafox | this is what i got so far /dev/sdc4 /mnt/Data ntfs-3g default | 22:34 |
| hackel | Any ideas? This is just since rebooting my machine. | 22:34 |
| edbian | alphafox, dump and pass have to do with the file system check that runs every once in a while. It is preferable to not check ntfs using ubuntu so put a 0 for both of them | 22:34 |
| iceroot | mkanyicy: i dont know | 22:34 |
| edbian | alphafox, That is right so far | 22:34 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, defaults not default | 22:34 |
| edbian | alphafox, yes! almost missed that, there is an "s" | 22:35 |

| Daves1 | Hey guys, i just instaled ubuntu 9.10 and i can't connect to internet with my sony ericson MD300, ubuntu doesnt recognize it as a modem! any solution plz? | 22:35 |
| mkanyicy | yes edbian | 22:35 |
| edbian | alphafox, Like that ^ Those are tabs between each thing in the file | 22:35 |
| alphafox | alright why that? | 22:35 |
| TilelesBruto | msg NickServ TilelesBruto gaelwe2002 | 22:36 |
| edbian | alphafox, It is regarding the file system check. You don't want ubuntu to check an ntfs partition. It's not very good at it, so you put 0 for dump and pass | 22:36 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, read about it on "man mount" | 22:36 |
| tully | seg fualts in ubuntu 9.10 everywhere | 22:36 |
| edbian | alphafox, yes, it's all in man mount | 22:36 |
| edbian | tully, bad ram maybe?? | 22:36 |
| tully | its a new pc | 22:37 |
| edbian | alphafox, The line I posted should be perfect. Did you put that in the file? | 22:37 |
| tully | does that mean that the ram is stuffed | 22:37 |
| edbian | tully, more than 4GB on a 32bit system? | 22:37 |
| alphafox | yeah did that | 22:37 |
| mkanyicy | alphafox, roughly and vaguely the first 0 is forever zero nowadays and the second zero is for fsck priority, 0 means disabled, 1 first prio, 2 second prio | 22:37 |
| edbian | tully, It means some program is trying to write to the wrong location in ram | 22:37 |
| tully | 2gb in a athlon 2 with ubuntu 32 bit | 22:37 |
| edbian | alphafox, You should be able to restart and the FS is mounted automatically | 22:37 |
| edbian | tully, I recommend a memtest | 22:38 |
| alphafox | cool thnks a lot! | 22:38 |
| edbian | alphafox, good luck. Come back if it didn't work and pastbin the file | 22:38 |
| tully | how do i do that | 22:38 |

| Maria | hello, I've just bought some new external hdd and it's only mounted ntfs. how do I format it to ext4? should I boot from the cd and try doing manual partitioning over there and then boot? | 23:14 |
| bogdomania | trask1, check out this link,maybe it will help.. | 23:14 |
| Alex61639 | in the begining i pressed to boot from USB, when the Ubuntu was starting and suddenly an black screen. | 23:14 |

| pting | does anyone know if there's been work on a apache pig ppa? | 23:15 |
| tvjudge | Maria: as long as you have no data on that drive you can use gparted to create an ext4 or ext3, or ext2 partition | 23:15 |
| jtaji | Maria: install gparted, then System > Admin > Gparted | 23:15 |
| Maria | thank you guys | 23:15 |
| brummbaer | bogdomania, re: that bug... have you tried bluemanz? | 23:16 |
| brummbaer | i've always had much better luck | 23:16 |
| bogdomania | brummbaer, no..i don`t use bluetooth on my box | 23:16 |
| brummbaer | and if i remember right during the upgrade from jaunty to karmic, i think some bluetooth support was deprecated. | 23:16 |
| bogdomania | no reason to | 23:17 |
| tvjudge | sooo no one has ideas about my sound problem? | 23:17 |

| mclark1129 | Does anyone have any experience with working with upstart? | 23:18 |
| bogdomania | tvjudge, check if for that kernel.. you have alsa,oss,etc..conf. out.. | 23:19 |
| bogdomania | or try module assistant | 23:19 |

| ljamisonii | does anyone in here have experience using Alien to convert .rpm to .deb? | 23:22 |
| tvjudge | louis check edit preferences and make sure the path is correxct to the location of your ffmpeg and ffplay | 23:22 |
| mkanyicy | louis__, did you try using avidemux? | 23:22 |
| mkanyicy | ljamisonii, yes | 23:23 |
| LinuX2half | How do I change my nickname? | 23:23 |
| mkanyicy | !anyone | ljamisonii | 23:23 |
| ubottu | ljamisonii: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:23 |
| louis__ | mkanyicy: is that better? | 23:24 |

| Cheguerz | what would putting this line in fsat do?(if generic values corrected) "UUID=your_smartware_partitions_uuid_here none hfs rw,noauto 0 0" | 23:24 |
| Cheguerz | cause I have a drive wich pops up this useless windows app | 23:24 |

| ljamisonii | I'm trying to convert .rpm to .deb using Alien...in terminal, I type "sudo alien <filename>" but it returns an error that says "error: incorrect format: unknown tag" | 23:25 |
| mkanyicy | LinuX2half, you want to change your username in the computer? | 23:26 |
| osse | How can it be that the white logo splash completely stops the boot process? If I edit the menuentry and remove "quiet splash" it boots perfectly fine every time. | 23:26 |
| LinuX2half | mkanyicy: yes | 23:26 |
| Cheguerz | UUID=your_smartware_partitions_uuid_here none ext3 rw,noauto 0 0 would this prevent a ext3 formatted linux live(and useless filesystem)to lad? | 23:26 |
| Cheguerz | *load? | 23:26 |
| Cheguerz | uuid i will fill out | 23:27 |
| LinuX2half | mkanyicy: I don't know why but when I open my terminal there's two nicknames, one is the old one and the other is the current one I'm using. | 23:27 |

| LinuX2half | I have already deleted my old account with the wrong nickname | 23:28 |
| LinuX2half | But it seemed that my computer still recognized the old one | 23:28 |
| mkanyicy | ljamisonii, alien is an angelic demon unlike wine which is a demon outright, I dont think alien succeeds in debianizing an rpm all the time. you may check where you got that rpm whether you have to supply to allien additional helper flags as well | 23:29 |
| ljamisonii | mkanyicy: ah, alright...would I just use something like the -d or -i tag? Because I've tried all applicable tags.. | 23:30 |
| Cheguerz | how would one go about preventing /dev/sr1 from mounting? | 23:30 |
| Cheguerz | this is a device | 23:31 |

| Cheguerz | just a simple entry in fstab maybee? | 23:31 |
| n16h7f0x | is there any way to encapsulate all my traffic thru ssh tunnel? | 23:31 |
| LinuX2half | ctmjr: I went to user and groups | 23:31 |
| losha | ljamisonii: trying to install some app? It might work better to get the source and compile it on ubuntu.... | 23:31 |
| mkanyicy | ljamisonii, I really don't know I remember trying to debianize a LabVIEW package, alien failed at critical areas, my advice is that you rather get the source and compile it yourself | 23:32 |
| mkanyicy | Cheguerz, that is a CD/DVD device | 23:33 |
| ctmjr | LinuX2half: use userdel try man userdel for options | 23:33 |
| Cheguerz | yes, wich loads a life filesystem built in in my drives firmware made for windows | 23:33 |
| Cheguerz | *live | 23:33 |
| Cheguerz | my actual cd rom is a different device | 23:34 |
| mkanyicy | Cheguerz, I dont get you in that part, how do you know all of this? | 23:34 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: what kind of machine is this? | 23:34 |
| === noname is now known as Guest198 | ||
| Cheguerz | the drive is a western mybook esential..my machine a dell hybrid | 23:35 |
| ljamisonii | losha: Yes, I need to install an older version of Wine to run a certain program properly. I have the source code for it, but when I go through all the steps of compiling, making, etc. it gives 2 errors I can't find..and when I try to install it using "sudo make install", nothing happens..so I tried using the pre-compiled rpm file, hence my problem | 23:35 |
| mkanyicy | Cheguerz, /dev/sr1 should be a link to /dev/scd1 or something like that | 23:35 |
| Cheguerz | why inclue a drive only for windows | 23:35 |
| Cheguerz | I see | 23:35 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: oh it's an external... why not delete that partition? | 23:36 |
| mkanyicy | Cheguerz, you have two CD drives? | 23:36 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: is that possible? | 23:36 |
| Cheguerz | its built in the rom | 23:36 |
| Cheguerz | the live filesystem | 23:36 |
| losha | ljamisonii: which version of wine are you trying to install. Onto which os version? | 23:36 |
| Cheguerz | cant touch that, need to hide it | 23:36 |
| Cheguerz | only one cd drive | 23:37 |
| mkanyicy | Cheguerz, I am sorry I cannot understand you. Lets start afresh. What do you want to achieve? | 23:37 |
| LinuX2half | ctmjr: the account is already deleted but remnants of it still remains | 23:37 |
| ljamisonii | losha: I'm trying to install Wine 1.1.32 and I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 | 23:37 |
| Cheguerz | wd smartware(a windows only backup system built in the external drives rom) poops up when I mount the disk.wd smartware(universal disk format system) is mounted at /media/wd smartware | 23:38 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: you could add it to fstab with a noauto option... but I think in this case it's handled by udev since it's automounting | 23:38 |
| losha | ljamisonii: you've looked in http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html ? | 23:38 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: I think you need to create a udev rule to prevent it's mounting | 23:39 |
| Cheguerz | ok | 23:39 |
| ljamisonii | losha: I've spent hours on google trying to solve the problem without finding anything like this...you solved it in 3 minutes >_> | 23:39 |
| Cheguerz | you understand that latest comment I gave though so I didnt misslead you? | 23:39 |
| Cheguerz | its a rom app, for windows at /media/WD Smartware(=crapware) | 23:40 |
| Cheguerz | on /dev/sr1 | 23:40 |
| Guest13787 | hi! how do i get a program to autostart on boot? Its a htpc-program, so i want to go to fullscreen directly | 23:40 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: I understand... perhaps you could also google for "wd smartware linux" for info on how to remove it | 23:40 |
| losha | ljamisonii: too soon to say it's solved, but there's definitely an art to finding things via google... | 23:40 |
| jtaji | Cheguerz: this is why I buy bare drives and external cases separately ;) | 23:40 |
| ljamisonii | losha: Obviously lol...I'll let you know what happens. | 23:41 |
