| syockit | mmvx: umm, grub-probe failed? unknown hardware? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| faileas | wookienz: 1- yes, 2- i don't know | 00:00 |
| dim3000 | open it and search for linux-image | 00:00 |
| mkanyicy | Yoman, by not being to connect to a server? no that's not the only reason, contact the chess server guy | 00:00 |
| mmvx | Steve132 there is a command on the wiki: /sbin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:00 |
| Aled | I have a copy of Server Ubuntu 9.10 | 00:00 |
| Aled | Does it have a UI? | 00:00 |
| mkanyicy | Yoman, or tunnel ssh through telnet | 00:00 |
| Ilmatic | Okay, I went to kernel and modules and there's one package that says drbd8-source | 00:00 |
| dim3000 | Aled: not by default | 00:00 |
| mmvx | Steve132, might it be possible to run this from the live cd but specify the /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the mounted partition | 00:01 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| mkanyicy | Yoman, but you need to be a clever girl | 00:01 |
| mmvx | brb | 00:01 |
| Aled | Would it be accessed like windows 3.11, as in "win" or would I have to install it? | 00:01 |
| dirkson | Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? | 00:01 |
| karmst | hello | 00:02 |
| dim3000 | Aled: do u want a GUI? | 00:02 |
| mkanyicy | hi karmst | 00:02 |
| Aled | I do | 00:02 |
| Yoman | mkanyicy, tunnel? so you mean there is a way around it? even if the server isn't running ssh, is it still possible to encrypt my information? | 00:02 |
| wookienz | faileas: thanks. thought that was the case. | 00:02 |
| karmst | hi mkany | 00:02 |
| nightsjammies | Has anyone had any problems with their browser not timing out on a secure site while tethered via cell phone? | 00:02 |
| karmst | Is there any application for linux or ubuntu that acts like MMC for microsoft? | 00:03 |
| Steve132 | mmvx: so I did it from the chroot | 00:03 |
| Steve132 | and it finishe | 00:03 |
| mkanyicy | Yoman, ssh encrypts the info using RSA algorithm, if you *MANAGE TO* tunnel that to the unsafe telnet, then you are still safe | 00:03 |
| Steve132 | but it said "error, no mapping exists for nvidia_eg* | 00:03 |
| degrit | mmc ? | 00:04 |
| Steve132 | and then "cannot found list of partitions" | 00:04 |
| karmst | MMC = microsoft management console | 00:04 |
| luis__ | is there a ares copy native tu ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| luis__ | an* | 00:04 |
| dim3000 | Aled: what are u using this server for? | 00:04 |
| Ilmatic | Hey guys, How do I uninstall an unwanted ubuntu kernel? | 00:04 |
| Yoman | mkanyicy, sounds nice.. any hints on how to achieve such a thing? =) | 00:04 |
| mkanyicy | Yoman, not that I know a success story about it, it's worth trying | 00:04 |
| Aled | Web hosting, dim3000 | 00:04 |
| karmst | like you can add active directory management and monitoring etc... or multiple RDP sessions | 00:04 |
| Aled | It needs Apache, PHP and MySQL | 00:05 |
| faileas | Ilmatic: from your package manager. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Ilmatic: via the package manager.. i for get how they are named however.. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Ilmatic: take care to not remove them all. :) | 00:05 |
| afroman | hej. where can I get driver for my printer? canon l120 | 00:05 |
| dim3000 | Aled: not sure why u want a GUI then but you can try installing a lightweight desktop environment like xfce | 00:05 |
| luis__ | is there an ares native tu ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | afroman: check cups.org to see how supported it is. | 00:05 |
| Aled | However, wouldn't a GUI allow me to manage the server easier? | 00:05 |
| janisoza1r | how can I check if there are extents enabled on a ext4 partition? | 00:05 |
| bastid_raZor | Aled: ubuntu-desktop is the package you need for a GUI. | 00:05 |
| faileas | er | 00:05 |
| faileas | if its a server, ubuntu desktop is WAAAY too heavy | 00:06 |
| Ilmatic | I'm looking at all the kernel and modules tab and I have none installed. | 00:06 |
| afroman | hej Dr_Willis | 00:06 |
| faileas | Aled: try openbox or icewm if you want a lightweight gui | 00:06 |
| blakkheim | a server doesn't need a GUI | 00:06 |
| Ilmatic | Yet, on reboot, there's this other kernel that always pops up. | 00:06 |
| dim3000 | Aled: depends, but it also poses security risks and perofrmance issues | 00:06 |
| karmst | or you could use a control panel rather than a GUI | 00:06 |
| bishop | bak again | 00:06 |
| Aled | Alright | 00:06 |
| karmst | like C-panel or ISPConfig | 00:06 |
| mkanyicy | Yoman, first you must be a guru when it comes to port forwarding, ssh works on port 22 (by default) and telnet to another port i don;t know, | 00:06 |
| faileas | blakkheim: well, i feel so too. then again a server dosen't need anything but a power source and a connection to the network, as far as i am concerned ;p | 00:06 |
| dim3000 | if u really want to | 00:07 |
| blakkheim | faileas: some services would be nice | 00:07 |
| faileas | blakkheim: well, that's based off my needs. monitor, and keyboard are optional, post install though | 00:08 |
| Yoman | mmvx, what I ment is since it seems I can connect to pretty much anything with telnet, doesn't telnet require any particular service to run on the server in order to connect? | 00:08 |
| dim3000 | Aled: u can use xfce for example | 00:08 |
| Aled | Also, is it possible to run Server Ubuntu in a simulated enviroment, such as Microsoft Virtual PC? | 00:08 |
| syockit | Steve132: I wonder what your sudo fdisk -l looks like | 00:08 |
| faileas | Aled: certainly | 00:08 |
| karmst | telnet requires telnet server | 00:08 |
| Aled | Alright | 00:08 |
| dim3000 | Aled: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 00:08 |
| mmvx | Yoman telnet is just a way of sending the commands to services running on a server | 00:08 |
| faileas | Aled: you'd probably want a bridged connection. there's also a ubuntu build that's optimised for virtualisation | 00:08 |
| mmvx | Yoman for instance you can telnet to a mail server on port 25 and send an email | 00:09 |
| karmst | I run Server Ubuntu 8.04 off VMware ESX | 00:09 |
| karmst | so it's possible | 00:09 |
| mmvx | Yoman but you only have access to the commands the service will allow you | 00:09 |
| Steve132 | syockit: inside the chroot? | 00:09 |
| mmvx | Yoman so for http it's GET and POST etc etc | 00:09 |
| afroman | Dr_Willis: can't find my printer canon l120 on cups.org | 00:09 |
| dirkson | Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? | 00:09 |
| faileas | Aled: my test server runs on vmware. i'm tempted to set up a buildbox on one too | 00:09 |
| dirkson | Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? | 00:09 |
| dirkson | Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? | 00:09 |
| FloodBot3 | dirkson: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:09 |
| Aled | Ok | 00:10 |
| mmvx | Yoman but ssh actually loads you up a shell on the server, allowing you much more control. This can be restricted depending on the configuration but it's much more powerful | 00:10 |
| Aled | I'm just planning to run it virtually to learn how to use it | 00:10 |
| syockit | Steve132: umm, it doesn't have to be... just to check whether you have proper partitioning. I just do not understand what it means by no mapping | 00:10 |
| faileas | that's a good idea, Aled | 00:10 |
| Aled | I'm a Linux noob, I've used Microsoft Windows for years | 00:10 |
| karmst | me too Aled | 00:10 |
| Yoman | mmvx, ok that helped alot =) thanks | 00:11 |
| Aled | But I'm planning on hosting my website on a dedicated server at home when I change ISPs | 00:11 |
| kedzior | #raciborz | 00:11 |
| karmst | I'm a MCSE , MCP, and CCIE | 00:11 |
| Ilmatic | I won't ever go back...unless I need to use wireshark. ; ) | 00:11 |
| karmst | and I'm still just now learning linux | 00:11 |
| Yoman | mkanyicy, ok.. sounds like it will take some time | 00:11 |
| dim3000 | Aled: ubunutu server is great for that, it makes it easy in my opion (i host my own) | 00:11 |
| karmst | Aled I use CentOS for my webserver | 00:11 |
| webdawg | yo | 00:12 |
| Aled | Ah | 00:12 |
| faileas | Aled: web hosting on ubuntu is kinda simple - there's a pre-configured LAMP option. i added phpmyadmin, since i can't be bothered to work with raw sql, and its perfectly usable | 00:12 |
| syockit | Steve132: btw can you repeat the grub-install thing outside chroot, this time with the flag: --modules=raid | 00:12 |
| Aled | Sounds good | 00:12 |
| Aerora | anyone there? | 00:12 |
| webdawg | I was looking at this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596002 and I can not seem to find what it is talking about. The sound applet I have seems to suck. | 00:12 |
| Aerora | i got an problem with video formats | 00:13 |
| karmst | Aled have you ever used Apache before? | 00:13 |
| webdawg | The problem I have is that I want to add my mono speaker output but cannot seem to find it in sound preferences. Is their some alternative sound controler software? | 00:13 |
| mmvx | Yoman no probs. Is your chess server a linux machine? | 00:13 |
| Ilmatic | Hey how can I set up snort on ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| Aled | karmst, I've used xampp for 2 years | 00:14 |
| pavelz | hi, how do i recompile a package from source? I need ruby to be recompiled, steps seem more convoluted then just compiling the source | 00:14 |

| shelby | Hello. I am looking for traffic compression software (high-cost GPRS here). Advise me please. | 00:14 |
| Steve132 | syockit: http://www.pastebin.org/71909 | 00:14 |
| Yoman | mmvx, I'm guessing so, but wouldn't know... It's fics, the free internet chess server | 00:14 |
| Steve132 | although, I think that seems to not include nvidia_mapper | 00:15 |
| karmst | ok then you should have no problems. It's a lot easier to write the config file then mess around with all the MS windows IIS stuff trying to make everything work | 00:15 |
| Steve132 | Like, not directly | 00:15 |
| Yoman | mmvx, so what I'm doing is "telnet fics.freechess.org 5000" followed by logging in | 00:15 |
| mmvx | Steve132 that looks like 2 mirrored drives | 00:15 |
| karmst | You may also want to check out Joomla | 00:15 |
| Aled | Are Server Ubuntu services such as LAMP included in the CD/Image | 00:15 |
| Aled | Or would I have to download them? | 00:15 |
| afroman | anybody know where I can get driver for my printer canon l120? | 00:16 |
| Steve132 | mmvx: Yeah, thats exactly what I see too.... I just expected that I would see 1 'cause its not in hardware | 00:16 |
| karmst | the ubuntu server has the ability to install LAMP during the OS install | 00:16 |
| syockit | Steve132: umm, you have so many partitions.... I can only imagine that one of them is the boot partition (/dev/sda2 ?), which means you need to mount it as well... | 00:16 |
| Aled | brilliant | 00:16 |
| hanophix33 | any way to make secondary monitor the main one on a laptop? | 00:16 |
| mmvx | syockit it looks like the hardware raid is still presenting both drives | 00:16 |

| karmst | opps. | 00:17 |
| karmst | wrong window | 00:17 |
| syockit | mmvx: I'm not experienced in hardware/software raid setup. how should a hardware raid look like? only /dev/sda? | 00:17 |
| Aerora | anybody got an idea how i can fix this problem: i just installed a new video card a Geforce 8400GS from Nvidia and i cant play any video format the screen is black i only hear sound tried many formats and every format is same result anyone got an idea? | 00:17 |
| Yoman | mmvx, can't really find anything about it on their website either | 00:17 |
| mmvx | Steve132 I have a feeling your best bet would be to configure software raid | 00:17 |
| karmst | A hardware raid will just look like an LVM | 00:18 |
| Steve132 | mmvx: Well, when I look at it in gparted, it only shows 1 drive | 00:18 |
| faileas | Aled: there's a seperate server config. else you can use the tasksel command | 00:18 |
| thiebaude | Aerora: you need the drivers? | 00:18 |
| syockit | karmst: which I also have no idea how it looks like | 00:18 |
| Steve132 | and actually, writing anything to /dev/sda3 pulls an error message that pulls up the nvidia_mapping anyway | 00:18 |
| thiebaude | Aerora: i have the same card | 00:18 |
| Aerora | thiebaude: i installed al Nvidia drivers i got version 185 | 00:18 |
| karmst | syockit it should only show up as a single drive | 00:19 |
| Steve132 | so I think sda and sdb are somehow linked to the hardware raid setup correctly | 00:19 |
| thiebaude | Aerora: sudo nvidia-settings? | 00:19 |
| karmst | well if it's a hardware raid you shouldn't be able to see the members of the raid | 00:19 |
| thiebaude | Aerora: to set the resolution | 00:19 |
| karmst | you should only be able to see the raid | 00:19 |
| karmst | otherwise it's a software raid | 00:19 |
| syockit | Steve132: well it does have identical partitioning. did you mount /dev/sda2 to the boot folder in the root directory? | 00:19 |
| mmvx | Steve132 yes but you should only really see one drive in true hardware raid | 00:19 |

| Steve132 | karmst: grep what? | 00:21 |
| syockit | Steve132: hmmm either /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 is the root, and the other one is boot | 00:22 |
| Aerora | thiebaude: but do you know how to fix my problem? | 00:22 |
| mmvx | Steve132 the installer has installed on the raid, but you have the two drives clearly visible in /dev | 00:22 |

| Steve132 | syockit: the other one is boot? | 00:23 |
| karmst | you should be able to pull up a device description | 00:23 |
| Steve132 | you have to partition /boot seperately? | 00:23 |
| syockit | Steve132: umm can't stay long here. anyways if you mounted it in the correct order (mount root first, then mount boot to the boot folder), then try grub-install again, this time with the --modules=raid option | 00:23 |
| thiebaude | Aerora: yes, please do send me it | 00:23 |
| Steve132 | karmst: dmesg | grep -l sda2 returns an empty line | 00:23 |

| karmst | ok... So how it says to get around this in our ticket system is you have to build the nforce driver from source, as it is not native for raid to the linux kernel | 00:36 |
| mshoap13 | <-- ubuntu tard... does anybody know where to find a working howto on getting a 5 button mouse configured to work in firefox under Xubuntu? | 00:36 |
| lstarnes | Steve132: remove the \ | 00:36 |
| mmvx | Steve132 I think syockit is checking the modules list | 00:36 |
| lstarnes | Steve132: oops, wrong person | 00:36 |
| lstarnes | shawn_: try removing the \ | 00:36 |
| webdawg | okay | 00:36 |
| shawn_ | lstarnes, Ok | 00:36 |
| thiebaude | aerora: under section Screen and right under deafultdepth 24, put Device "Default Device" | 00:36 |
| thiebaude | aerora: and save it | 00:37 |
| lstarnes | shawn_: also, make sure that you are running that with sudo or as root | 00:37 |
| mMezquitale | Sabre-night, so what you are attempting to do is delete some options in the wine menu, keep asking that question again, if someone knows the answer they will reply, you can also try the forums | 00:37 |
| thiebaude | aerora: and sudo nvidia-settings set resolution and then save to X configuration | 00:37 |
| webdawg | I can view all my inputs and outputs in 'alsamixer' command line but I cannot add them to the default sound applet in ubuntu. What is the deal? | 00:37 |
| syockit | Steve132: among modules that depend on raid module (from /boot/grub/moddep.lst) : dm_nv, mdraid, raid5rec, raid6rec | 00:37 |
| karmst | dm_nv | 00:37 |
| mmvx | syockit that dm_nv looks promising | 00:38 |
| aerora | thiebaude: how do i save it? i cant adjust it becouse i dont have root acces | 00:38 |
| thiebaude | aerora: what that does everytime you log into x you dont have to set the resoltion | 00:38 |
| karmst | yes you get that from the source build of the nforce driver | 00:38 |
| syockit | mmvx: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/grub-devel@gnu.org/9870513.html seems to suggest so | 00:38 |
| Steve132 | ok, so, mmvx: any luck with finding the modules I need....dm_nv | 00:38 |
| thiebaude | aerora: im on a ubuntu desktopn, but it should say save | 00:38 |
| Steve132 | yeah | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | so | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | try | 00:39 |
| webdawg | ????????? | 00:39 |
| aerora | thiebaude: it doesnt | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | Ok, so | 00:39 |
| mmvx | Steve132 syockit karmst looks like dm_nv then? As well as raid? | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | using --modules=raid | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | gives a new name | 00:39 |
| karmst | syockit: that's the module he needs. It's because the nforce raid isn't a true hardware raid. | 00:39 |
| DubAndy | How can I make a /etc/init.d/ startup script from my two files /usr/sbin/minidlna & /etc/minidlna.conf to be ran at boot with apache2 regardless of gnome and/or users? | 00:39 |
| mmvx | Steve132 put quotes around the list | 00:39 |
| Steve132 | *err, sorry....gives a new error: "You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing /mnt/root/boot/grub does not support UUIDs" | 00:40 |
| mmvx | Steve132 like --modules="raid dm_nv" | 00:40 |
| syockit | --modules=dm_nv should automatically pull raid in, as it depends on it... but yeah, maybe both | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | DubAndy: you could put the commands in /etc/rc.local or check the upstart docs and make a upstart script for them. init.d/stuff is slowly getting phased out. | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | !boot | DubAndy | 00:40 |
| ubottu | DubAndy: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | DubAndy: many of the guides/docs still refer to the old sysv way. but as i said. thats slowly getting removed. | 00:41 |
| teratoma | what does this ubuntu Eucalyptus cluster stuff do? | 00:41 |
| mmvx | syockit Steve132 looks good, now we have a decent error to work with :) | 00:41 |
| karmst | haha | 00:41 |
| Shwack | If I have my home directory on a separate partition (sdb6)... Can I copy files from main filesystem (sdb2) over to it and then mount sdb6 from Ubuntu Live CD and give myself CHROOT access? I need to decrypt my passphrase-wrapper file after mountain sdb6 from live CD but cannot give myself CHROOT after mountaing sdb6 because there is no /bin/bash | 00:42 |
| DubAndy | Dr_Willis: Oh I'm a former debian user... Is /etc/rc.local a faster implementation? | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | DubAndy: rc.local is just a simple script that get ran at boot. for down and dirty tasks | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !upstart | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 00:43 |
| j-3-r-g_ | Yo wats poppin? | 00:43 |
| thiebaude | aerora: im not sure where the save is on that because im not on ubuntu, but thats what i had to do, was edit xorg.conf and then save and exit | 00:43 |
| karmst | I think this error is because it's still a software raid and he will need to have an LVM? | 00:43 |
| aerora | thiebaude: i dont have the rights and i cant adjust the rights becouse im not the owner | 00:44 |
| j-3-r-g_ | hey anyone familiar with whipping a iPod nano fresh and still have ti working with iTunes | 00:44 |
| j-3-r-g_ | ? | 00:44 |
| syockit | Shwack: you can mount your main system (sdb2), then mount sdb6 to its home folder, then chroot the main system | 00:44 |
| thiebaude | aerora: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the command | 00:44 |
| Shwack | syockit can you please /msg me with more detailed instructions? You would be saving my life if I can get my encrypted home directory recovered | 00:44 |
| thiebaude | it will ask you for your root password | 00:45 |
| mmvx | karmst maybe another module? | 00:45 |
| syockit | Shwack: umm the problem is I do not know about encrypted directory/partition | 00:45 |
| karmst | no. I' | 00:45 |
| mmvx | karmst Steve132 this bug report shows several modules being tried: v | 00:46 |
| mmvx | http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25008 | 00:46 |
| aerora | thiebaude: done thnx:D but my no video problem is still not fixed:( | 00:46 |
| karmst | I'm reading the mkfs manual and it says that in order to create a ext3 file system on an nvidia raid it must be an LVM | 00:46 |
| thiebaude | aerora: go back ans do sudo nvidia-settings and set your resoltution and then save to X configuration | 00:47 |
| thiebaude | and | 00:47 |
| mmvx | karmst I think Steve132 already has most of his install in place | 00:47 |
| Shwack | syockit: if you can explain to me how to mount both /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb6 You will be placing me one step closer - I create /mnt and /mnt2 I can succesfully mount one partition, then trying to mount the 2nd says "you must specify filesystem type" I can get either one to mount by itself, mounting teh 2nd is where I run into the problem | 00:47 |
| thiebaude | since you already saved your xorg.conf | 00:47 |
| karmst | mmvx I'm lost then?!? | 00:47 |
| aerora | thiebaude: i can play any format only problem is i have no video only the sound is playing and i done the nvidia settings thing;) | 00:48 |
| syockit | Shwack: actually much safer if you specify filesystem type for both | 00:48 |
| thiebaude | aerora: i'am not sure what to do | 00:48 |
| Shwack | syockit how do I specify the filesystem type? They should both be ext4 | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | aerora: audio and no video = check what video codec the video is using.. or is it all videos? | 00:48 |
| syockit | Shwack: example, if you mounted /dev/sdb2 on /mnt, then you need to mount /dev/sdb6 on /mnt/home | 00:49 |
| Steve132 | So, the final word is "no" ? | 00:49 |
| Steve132 | on this? | 00:49 |
| syockit | Shwack: hmm i need to recall... | 00:49 |
| aerora | thiebaude: all videos mp4 mpeg avi etc and before i switched video cards i didnt had this problem | 00:49 |
| Shwack | syockit - gotcha on the /mnt/home - makes perfect sense - | 00:49 |
| thiebaude | aerora: i dont know, and we do have the same card | 00:49 |
| aerora | thiebaude: i also tried totem and vlc | 00:50 |
| thiebaude | aerora: can you do compiz? | 00:50 |
| _cb | Have dual boot. XP & Ubuntu 9.10 . Want to re-install Ubuntu keep dual boot and keep home folder. How do I do it? | 00:50 |
| karmst | Steve123: I would recommend changing it to an LVM. That way if you ever wanted to expand the hardware raid you would be able to without having to rebuild the entire array or backup and restore your data. | 00:50 |
| aerora | thiebaude: yes compiz works perfect | 00:50 |
| thiebaude | ok, drivers are installed | 00:50 |
| syockit | Steve132: what about the one on Comment#3 on that bug report? | 00:50 |
| faileas | _cb: back up and restore the home folder manually? | 00:51 |
| thiebaude | but after that i dont know what to try | 00:51 |
| aerora | thiebaude: yes i installed al nvidia drivers trough synaptic | 00:51 |
| thiebaude | aerora: maybe someone else had more expertise than i do | 00:51 |
| DubAndy | Dr_Willis: #!/bin/bash /urs/sbin/minidlna -f /etc/minidlna.conf This will do for a .sh script right? it's till going to be run with root privledges and keep on being an active process? | 00:51 |
| _cb | faileas Any way to tell the new install to use the existing home folder? | 00:51 |
| thiebaude | aerora: i let ubuntu find the recomeded driver for me | 00:51 |
| faileas | _cb: do you have a seperate home partition? | 00:52 |
| mmvx | syockit Steve132 karmst there's a launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/436340 | 00:52 |
| _cb | yes. | 00:52 |
| faileas | else, home folders are by username- just have the same username and it should work, in theory | 00:52 |
| thiebaude | aerora: which driver 185? | 00:52 |
| aerora | thiebaude: yep i got 185 | 00:52 |
| thiebaude | ok | 00:52 |
| syockit | Shwack: an ext4 would have -t ext4 as option. e.g. mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt | 00:52 |
| Shwack | syockit ok | 00:52 |
| Shwack | syockit- unless you know how to unmount - I need to reboot from live CD and remount properly | 00:52 |
| Steve132 | ok | 00:53 |
| faileas | _cb: then just reinstall, don't reformat the home partition, and have the same username | 00:53 |
| faileas | and backup anyway, in case | 00:53 |
| _cb | On the re-install I saw 3 options. Keep current OS (Which kept current Ubuntu) Manual (Don't know how I keep my XP dual boot) and use all disk which obviously I don't want | 00:53 |
| Steve132 | syockit: That workaround basically involves buying and permenantly connecting a USB stick to jumpstart the system... I honestly don't care enough to do that | 00:53 |
| thiebaude | aerora: wish i knew | 00:53 |
| syockit | Shwack: sudo umount <dev partition, or mount point> | 00:53 |
| karmst | ah | 00:54 |
| mmvx | Steve132 it looks like 10.04 will have a fix for grub2, and 9.04 works with grub1 | 00:54 |
| Steve132 | mmvx: That launchpad bug says "Fix Released" | 00:54 |
| aerora | thiebaude: hmm thnx anyway ill try the forums;) | 00:54 |
| thiebaude | aerora: ok good luck with it | 00:54 |
| Steve132 | Yeah, you answered my question...so the answer is "it will be released in 10.04 | 00:54 |
| Steve132 | ok | 00:54 |
| aerora | thiebaude: ty;) | 00:54 |
| Shwack | syockit - wonderful! i dont understand why they didnt make both umount and unmount do the same thing - i was sitting here trying unmount !!! | 00:54 |
| NFischer | how to reactivate ctrl-alt-backspace key-combination?! | 00:54 |
| Hilikus | how can i compile the content of a source package without creating a binary package? i'm trying to patch something but i need to try the program before i package it | 00:54 |
| Steve132 | thanks a lot guys :) | 00:55 |
| Steve132 | I appreciate it | 00:55 |
| mmvx | Steve132 yes, I guess you could install 9.04 and update to 9.10 which would leave grub1 in place.. | 00:55 |
| Steve132 | yeah | 00:55 |
| syockit | Shwack: the reason is kinda historical... and they don't want two commands meaning the same thing | 00:55 |
| Steve132 | I figured that | 00:55 |
| thiebaude | aerora: np | 00:55 |
| mMezquitale | !zap | NFischer | 00:55 |

| Shwack | mmvx I am on an Ubuntu live cd trying to mount /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb6. sdb2 is my ubuntu filesystem and sdb6 is my /home partition. my /home directory is encrypted and after typing sudo passwd to chnage my password, Ubuntu accepts my login password but no longer decrypts my home folder. changing my password back to the old password via same sudo passwd command hasn't worked. I am trying to decrypt my passphrase-wrapper file | 01:03 |
| Shwack | by mounting sdb2 and sdb6 from ubuntu live CD then decrypting passphrase-wrapper file with ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /mnt/shwack/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase using my login password. | 01:04 |

| karmst | says there's a pre-release alpha from adobe for x64 flash | 01:09 |
| syockit | karmst: yup still no time reading it, busy here :( | 01:09 |
| karmst | http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html | 01:09 |
| Shwack | mmvx ok - I have made both /mnt/disk1 and /mnt/disk2 | 01:10 |
| usser | angelus, sudo apt-get install libgegl-0.0-0 | 01:10 |
| Shwack | after sudo umount /mnt | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | hyperstream: actually if you want no gdm screen - just disable the gdm, service in /etc/init/ rename the gdm.conf to be gdm.DONtSTARTME or similer. | 01:11 |
| mmvx | Shwack yes, now can you mount them both in disk1 and disk2 respectively | 01:11 |
| angelus | usser, libgegl-0.0-0 is already the newest version. | 01:11 |
| karmst | I'll compile this source file for flash and give a go and tell you the result syockit | 01:11 |
| Shwack | mmvx I will pastebin inputs and outputs - give me a moment | 01:11 |
| usser | angelus, did you try to compile gimp by hand? | 01:11 |
| nighto | hi there, i need some help with my touchpad, it is not being detected, if someone could please take a look... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/504065 | 01:11 |
| usser | angelus, try reinstalling gimp | 01:11 |
| hyperstream | lol | 01:11 |
| syockit | karmst: it's source? i thought adobe gives out only binaries | 01:11 |
| angelus | usser, i did(but i'll try to compile it myself this time around) | 01:12 |
| hyperstream | thanks guys- i want it to ask me for a password to login to GDM, got it sorted thanks all. | 01:12 |
| evanandersen | please help!!!! i just finished my media project in Pitivi but the render video option doesn't work! | 01:12 |
| usser | angelus, make sure to configure with --static --prefix=/usr/local | 01:12 |
| evanandersen | gave me this error : "gstfilesink.c(396): gst_file_sink_open_file (): /GstPipeline:pipeline1/GstBin:bin46/GstFileSink:filesink17: | 01:12 |
| evanandersen | system error: Permission denied" | 01:12 |
| usser | angelus, that way it will be completely independent of your package manager | 01:12 |
| angelus | thanks | 01:12 |
| Shwack | mmvx http://paste.ubuntu.com/352618/ | 01:13 |
| andyland | How can I get this error message /urs/sbin/minidlna: No such file or directory If I went into that folder in gnome and can clearly see the file there? | 01:13 |
| tzufli | hello | 01:13 |
| hyperstream | andyland, check the spelling. | 01:13 |
| evanandersen | andyland: the program could not have the correct permissions | 01:13 |
| karmst | well it's extension is .so | 01:13 |
| ardchoille | andyland: and case | 01:13 |
| hyperstream | andyland, try /usr/ | 01:13 |
| JSeymour | <- Rebooting from 2.6.31-16 -> 2.6.31-17... (wish me luck...) | 01:14 |
| usser | angelus, you'll need a crapload of libraries to compile gimp though. so run sudo apt-get build-dep gimp to automatically fetch all dependencies | 01:14 |
| Michelle_ | Hi I've installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usb disk, and it won't boot, only into an "initramfs" prompt.. what am I doing wrong? | 01:14 |
| tzufli | quick question from newbie.....what sofware is something similar with winamp in ubuntu.... and what kind of ftp software do you recommend? | 01:14 |
| mmvx | Shwack the idea was to mount the drives in /mnt/disk1 and /mnt/disk2 , would that be ok? | 01:14 |
| usser | tzufli, audacious is a complete winamp clone | 01:14 |
| mmvx | JSeymour it'll be fine. No really | 01:15 |
| usser | tzufli, as for ftp there are plenty of clients to choose from | 01:15 |
| chai | syockit, you have any issues with reader being buggy/freezing up? im on 9.10 amd64 | 01:15 |
| usser | !ftp | tzufli | 01:15 |
| ubottu | tzufli: FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd | 01:15 |
| hyperstream | tzufli, use Rythmbox its good | 01:15 |
| karmst | what? | 01:15 |
| Seamus | does anyone know what game this is on the ubuntu 910 feature tour? It's the one with the small window on top of hte other games. | 01:15 |
| Shwack | mmvx I have verified /dev/sdb2 is ext3/ext4 fiesystem type | 01:15 |
| tzufli | all those are in repositoriesor do i have to compile them? | 01:15 |
| Shwack | mmvx yes let me try again | 01:16 |
| hyperstream | tzufli, apt-get install filezilla | 01:16 |
| mmvx | Shwack can you umount /mnt | 01:16 |
| Seamus | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features | 01:16 |
| syockit | chai: although I suggested it, I'm not a user of Reader. | 01:16 |
| evanandersen | does anyone know anything about gstreamer or PiTivi export issues? | 01:16 |
| mmvx | Shwack just in case it is in use as a mount point again | 01:16 |
| Seamus | I want that game. but they can't be arsed to tell you what it is! | 01:16 |
| tzufli | cool...thank you for the help | 01:16 |
| hyperstream | tzufli, sudo apt-cache search NAMEHERE <-- that will tell you if its in the repo's | 01:16 |
| Shwack | mmvx I t says http://paste.ubuntu.com/352618/ | 01:16 |
| Shwack | woops | 01:16 |
| Shwack | it says not mounted - not that pastebin link | 01:16 |
| Michelle_ | Hi I've installed ubuntu 9.04 on a usb disk, and it won't boot, only into an "initramfs" prompt.. what am I doing wrong? | 01:16 |
| chai | syockit, lol, well after 2 minutes of use, i wouldn't reccommend it... tab close button simply does nothing | 01:17 |
| Seamus | does anyone know what game this is on the ubuntu 910 feature tour? It's the one with the small window on top of the other games. | 01:17 |
| chai | syockit, up, there it goes, i spoke too soon. well, still freezing | 01:17 |
| Seamus | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features | 01:17 |
| syockit | chai: yucks, that sucks. Known bug or something? | 01:17 |
| mmvx | Shwack good, now try sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/disk1 | 01:17 |
| JSeymour | That was painless :) | 01:17 |
| Seamus | Please help. I want to PLAY AWESOME GAMES | 01:17 |
| Shwack | mmvx http://paste.ubuntu.com/352620/ | 01:18 |
| mmvx | JSeymour and the reboot? | 01:18 |
| tzufli | found audio | 01:18 |
| JSeymour | mmvx: Done! | 01:18 |
| chai | syockit, not sure... googling | 01:18 |
| andyland | I made a .sh script and placed and update rc.local but when i type /etc/init.d/minidlna.sh restart I get the cannot find error | 01:18 |
| iKernel | libxxf86dga1.so.1 <-- where can I get the 32 bit version of this library? there isn't a 32 bit package in ubuntu repos for libxxf86dga1 | 01:18 |
| karmst | it's binary | 01:18 |
| iKernel | or I could just try installing alien arena from ubuntu repos... | 01:18 |
| mmvx | JSeymour I've not rebooted mine yet | 01:18 |
| chai | syockit, sure enough http://lists.medibuntu.org/pipermail/bugs/2009-May/002565.html | 01:19 |
| mmvx | Shwack /dev/sdb6 mounts ok? | 01:19 |
| bean | andyland: is the script in /etc/init.d? :P | 01:19 |
| usser | iKernel, get a little util called getlibx | 01:19 |
| usser | iKernel, err getlibs | 01:19 |
| usser | !info getlibs | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Package getlibs does not exist in karmic | 01:19 |
| iKernel | usser, ok | 01:19 |
| iKernel | usser, whoops | 01:19 |
| usser | iKernel, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 | 01:19 |
| iKernel | usser, looks like I'll have to compile it | 01:19 |
| Shwack | mmvx one second | 01:20 |
| andyland | bean: The script is in init.d and the script is just saying to start /usr/sbin/minidlna | 01:20 |
| usser | iKernel, no theres a .deb file | 01:20 |
| andyland | bean: and -f /etc/minidlna.conf | 01:20 |
| iKernel | usser, cool, looks like an extremely handy utility, thanks | 01:21 |
| Shwack | mmvx: yes - http://paste.ubuntu.com/352622/ | 01:21 |
| syockit | chai: that looks old. what's your installation source? | 01:21 |
| bean | andyland: so if you run /etc/init.d/minidlna.sh is says not found | 01:21 |
| bean | b | 01:21 |
| bean | ut | 01:21 |
| bean | if | 01:21 |

| klong | p | 01:21 |
| chai | syockit, adobe website, downloaded the .bin, made it executable, ran it with sudo. i suppose medibuntu repositories would be the better way? | 01:22 |
| andyland | :p | 01:22 |
| JSeymour | Is there a way to get a sudo requester to come up when I launch something from a menu so it's running with privs? | 01:22 |
| mmvx | Shwack what is the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 01:22 |
| hyperstream | bean, lol IRC Client operator fail :P | 01:22 |
| klong | hello - i keep getting "scrape failed - tracker did not respond" but only on one particular torrent which is not seeded well. is this because there are no seeds or another problem? | 01:22 |
| poseidon | anyone here use RLPlot? | 01:22 |
| karmst | adobe labs must be having problems... This says it will be 2 hours and 39 minutes to downloads 3.6mb | 01:22 |
| bean | hyperstream: no, i hit return once, but it repeated it like 4 times :P | 01:22 |
| ardchoille | JSeymour: gksudo appname | 01:22 |
| andyland | bean: I successfully run the minidlna.sh script. but the script gives the output it can't find the executable in /usr/sbin/minidlna | 01:22 |
| Shwack | mmvx: it says Cannot open /dev/sdb | 01:22 |
| hyperstream | bean, sticky key hmmmmmm | 01:22 |
| Shwack | should i use sudo? | 01:22 |
| mmvx | Shwack sorry yes | 01:22 |
| syockit | chai: not necessarily. although much more officially supported, newer versions from Adobe would usually have fixes for problems like this | 01:22 |
| JSeymour | ardchoille: Tnx! | 01:22 |
| joeb | My wireless doesn't work until I restart my computer. It keeps asking for the password but it already has it. | 01:22 |

| ardchoille | JSeymour: use that as the command in the menu item "command" | 01:23 |

| === corey__ is now known as coreyB | ||
| syockit | chai: was it a native 64-bit version? it might need some tweaking if it was 32-bit | 01:23 |
| Seamus | I have $5. | 01:23 |
| bean | andyland: but /usr/sbin/minidlna exists? you can ls -la /usr/sbin/minidlna ? | 01:23 |
| Seamus | $5 to the person who tells me what that game is. | 01:23 |
| JSeymour | ardchoille: *nod* Tnx. Want it for amdcccle (Catalyst Control Center for ATI Radeon card) | 01:23 |
| hyperstream | Seamus, thats not going to get you anywhere lol | 01:24 |
| iKernel | Seamus, it was golubulus | 01:24 |
| iKernel | Seamus, $5 plox | 01:24 |
| mmvx | Shwack /dev/sdb2 is an extended partition - it only contains partitions, it isn't really one itself | 01:24 |
| chai | syockit, the site actually didn't mention. so probably 32-bit. now i have a preview image of my pdf on the wrong monitor on all desktops... | 01:24 |
| Seamus | hyperstream: shows how much you know ;) | 01:24 |
| ardchoille | JSeymour: you can also add a menu item and just use gksudo as the command, nothing more, and you'll get a nice gui asking which app to run with privs | 01:24 |
| Shwack | mmvx thank you so much for showing me that | 01:24 |
| mmvx | Shwack are you sure you don't mean /dev/sdb1? | 01:24 |
| Shwack | mmvx I'm sure i do | 01:24 |

| hcker2000 | hello every one | 01:25 |
| ardchoille | JSeymour: Nice! | 01:25 |
| andyland | bean: Yeah, defenetly | 01:25 |
| JSeymour | ardchoille: It'll be nice if it actually works :) | 01:25 |
| ardchoille | lol | 01:25 |
| chai | syockit, ok it was definitely x86, and they also have a .deb. gonna try to install that. should I use something like 'sudo linux32 dpkg -i adobexxx.deb'? i'm wary of the linux32 command... | 01:26 |
| Seamus | it's not a scam! I just don't know if I should pay someone for an offer made in jest. | 01:26 |
| Shwack | mmvx I'm 48 hours deep into trying to recover my encrypted home directory - at this point I would try wearing a tinfoil hat | 01:26 |
| cyberjorge | how come # lspci -v has no output? what other related command can I use? | 01:26 |
| Seamus | if being in jest negates the offer or whatever | 01:26 |
| usser | angelus, something wrong with your repositories, disable all unofficial repos run sudo apt-get update and try again | 01:26 |
| hcker2000 | I have installed ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and grub is giving me issues so I cant boot into the install | 01:26 |

| JSeymour | ardchoille: I'll run this card (just installed last night) a few days with a single head just to make sure everything's really okay as is. | 01:26 |
| hcker2000 | I have pasted my boot info script here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1373886 | 01:26 |

| Shwack | mmvx, in fact - I am going to make myself an aluminum foil hat right now and wear it while attempting ot mount both | 01:26 |
| hcker2000 | could any one please help me get this issue resolved? | 01:26 |
| karmst | something is wrong here | 01:26 |
| karmst | hey...I didn't know that.... GKSUDO | 01:26 |
| Shipmaster | es anyone know a good accounting program for ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| karmst | it's faster to type it in though | 01:26 |
| syockit | chai: eh, do you have to do linux32 when installing 32-bit debs? 32-bit flash didn't have it that way | 01:27 |
| karmst | goto server , list of channels | 01:27 |
| usser | Shipmaster, gnucash | 01:27 |
| usser | Shipmaster, would be your best bet | 01:27 |
| mmvx | Shwack I wish you the very best of luck, tinfoil hat included! | 01:27 |
| karmst | adobe must seriously be running off a 2400 baud modem right now | 01:27 |
| chai | syockit, no. i'll try without linux32 first and let you know | 01:27 |
| Shipmaster | usser--it doesn't track inventory though | 01:27 |
| Shwack | mmvx thank you ;) | 01:28 |
| Shipmaster | thanks though usser | 01:28 |
| iKernel | it's mister stabby | 01:28 |
| Seamus | iKernel: I can't find golubulus anywhere. I think you scammed me! | 01:28 |
| mmvx | karmst adobe is frequently slower than molasses in January | 01:28 |
| iKernel | Seamus, I didn't spell it right | 01:28 |
| karmst | syockit It's going to be over an hour to download this 3.6mb flashplayer alpha | 01:28 |
| iKernel | Seamus, let me check the correct spelling | 01:28 |
| andyland | bean: I fixed the script, it was of course a typo :) thanks for helping an idiot. But I can't see the processes running in the System Monitor in gnome? | 01:28 |
| jukebox-zero | Figured this might be the quickest way to get the answer to this. I just tried to install ubuntu 9.10, let the installer reformat my entire drive from ext3 to ext4, completed fine. Went to reboot and now I get a "error: no such device: *insert long hex-looking string here*" message when the grub tries to load. Should I just retry? | 01:28 |
| mmvx | karmst is that a 64 bit player? | 01:29 |
| bean | andyland: ttry this on the cli. ps aux | grep minidlna | 01:29 |
| syockit | karmst: oh dear. what side of the planet are you on? | 01:29 |
| ikthus | everybody say hello | 01:29 |
| hyperstream | hello | 01:29 |
| karmst | yes mmvx....And I'm in the US syockit | 01:29 |
| Shipmaster | hello | 01:29 |
| iKernel | Seamus, sorry, I meant Globulation 2 | 01:29 |
| chai | yellow | 01:30 |
| hcker2000 | has any one else had trouble with grub throwing an error after installing 9.10? | 01:30 |
| palomer | are there any alternatives to serpentine? | 01:30 |
| ikthus | 2/1364 not that bad :p | 01:30 |
| ardchoille | palomer: What is serpentine? | 01:30 |
| palomer | a cd burner | 01:30 |
| chai | hcker2000, 9.10 updates to grub2. i didn't have errors, but i wouldn't be surprised if there were many | 01:30 |
| andyland | bean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352626/ seems like their running don't it | 01:31 |
| ardchoille | palomer: I haven't had any problems with brasero, then there's k3b (kde app) | 01:31 |
| bean | andyland: yep, running as root | 01:31 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero so did you install it? | 01:31 |
| jukebox-zero | hcker2000: This is the first time I've ever seen an error this early. Usually it at least gets *somewhere* and I have no idea if that hex string means just my drive got formatted shoddy-like or what... | 01:31 |
| Out_Cold | i hate my room mate.... every day i come home to find my server unplugged because he thinks it degrades his stupid wifi signal for his ps3.... what a flippin tool.. | 01:31 |
| mmvx | jukebox-zero did you run all the way to the end of the install ok? | 01:32 |
| hcker2000 | chai, mine starts and then says some thing about not being able to load and then a long serial number | 01:32 |
| Out_Cold | a headless machine with no lan is a useless machine | 01:32 |
| syockit | karmst: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/326555 has link to debian's repo | 01:32 |
| syockit | karmst: which has native 64-bit plugin | 01:32 |
| Seamus | iKernel: ah, that looks nothing like globulation | 01:32 |
| chai | syockit, still downloading... but do you know any way to remove the previous reader installation? it installed in /opt, should i just delete its directory? | 01:32 |
| andyland | bean: nice!, it's suppose to be running on the port 8200 says the .conf file. Is it? | 01:32 |
| Seamus | I think you're mistaken. | 01:32 |
| Shipmaster | tried to run a windows program in wine and keep getting this error The allocation of the environment handle failed. any ideas? | 01:32 |
| syockit | chai: check the directory for uninstall script | 01:32 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: did the full live-cd install, even checked md5sums and sha256sums. The error: no such device message is literally the first thing the grub prints on reboot though. | 01:32 |
| bean | andyland: you can check that with netstat | 01:33 |
| iKernel | Seamus, oh, give me a look at the game then | 01:33 |
| hcker2000 | maybe i should install lilo | 01:33 |
| karmst | it's not me | 01:33 |
| karmst | I have fiber at 30x30 | 01:33 |
| karmst | http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html | 01:33 |
| bean | andyland: run netstat -lan | grep 8200 | 01:33 |
| jukebox-zero | ditto to mmvx | 01:33 |
| Seamus | iKernel: what???? http://www.ubuntu.com/files/masthead/910/tour/ubuntu-910-games.jpg | 01:33 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, i hate people like that :P, at work they all run windows for web developement and this adobe software. i plug in and they believe that Ubuntu is better than windows there for get all the bandwidth(which i have nothing using it. perhaps Email check every 10 mins.) when infact they have slow net lol. | 01:33 |
| brico | Forgot the & at the end. ;p | 01:33 |
| Seamus | the one with the really tiny screenshot | 01:33 |
| brico | Woops wrong channel. | 01:33 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero no idea. it should install everything and there should be no error | 01:33 |
| iKernel | Seamus, that is either alien arena or nexuiz | 01:34 |
| hcker2000 | right now i am stuck using this live cd:( | 01:34 |
| andyland | Bean: port is listening. you are my g*d*amn hero. Now I shall try to hook up the TV. ^^ so long for now | 01:34 |
| mmvx | jukebox-zero is it a single drive? | 01:34 |
| songer | hello | 01:34 |
| bean | andyland: your're welcome. I'm around quite often if you need help | 01:34 |
| Seamus | iKernel: no no no. The one at the very front of the other windows | 01:34 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: Okay, if no-one's ran into it before I can probably assume gpart just formatted the drive shoddy like. That or I have bigger issues. | 01:34 |
| songer | can i play youtube on live cd? | 01:34 |
| ardchoille | songer: not without flash | 01:35 |
| Seamus | It looks like a FF7 screenshot | 01:35 |
| jukebox-zero | songer: if you can download gnash or some sort of lash like player | 01:35 |
| jukebox-zero | *flash | 01:35 |
| iKernel | Seamus, oooooh. aw jeez man, you're gonna have to get me a bigger screenshot than that | 01:35 |
| hyperstream | iKernel, definatly | 01:35 |
| Out_Cold | hyperstream, similar issues.... except this moron doesn't get that there are 2 seperate devices running in the router... one for wires and one without... i mean really.. how does a lan connection degrade signal strength???? i could understand if it was torrenting or something... but it just sits there... the only activity is when i back up files from work... | 01:35 |
| Shwack | mmvx I have succesfully mounted boht, gained chroot access, and am now attempting to decrypt my wrapper-passphrase file | 01:35 |
| Seamus | iKernel: yeah I know, that's what pisses me off about this. They dont' tell you what game it is, they just show you a really small screenshot | 01:35 |
| chai | syockit, no luck... searched for .sh and .bin files, or anything with un in the name (like uninstall). | 01:36 |
| songer | ok | 01:36 |
| Shwack | mmvx - sadly, it is not working. I am trying all possible login passwords that i ever used, and nothing is working. | 01:36 |
| Seamus | I think the only way to know is to install every game in the repo. | 01:36 |
| Shwack | mmvx the good news is, i have more beer? | 01:36 |
| Out_Cold | i wish ubuntu cds had a blunt edge to which i could beat people with.. | 01:36 |
| jukebox-zero | mmvx: Yes, I disabled my secondary drive via bios because I've accidently delete a partition i didn't mean to while installing before. | 01:36 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, yeah, get him some stuff to read up on and slap him in the face and tell him to read... | 01:36 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero running installer from a console should give more output. my only idea is to install it again. i'm using ubuntu 9.10 64bit. ext3 everything is fine. is ext4 now the default fs? | 01:36 |
| Shwack | out-cold, superglue + sledge hammer would work | 01:36 |
| karmst | hahaha | 01:37 |
| mmvx | Shwack as homer said, beer is the solution to, and cause of, most of life's problems :0 | 01:37 |
| Out_Cold | hyperstream, i don't think he knows how to read... and if i did... i doubt he'd care... | 01:37 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: Nah, just saw it was an option so I figured I'd give it a whirl, leaving my secondary data drive as ext3 | 01:37 |
| * karmst beats Out_Cold with a Juanty Jackalope | 01:37 | |
| Out_Cold | ** s/i/he/ | 01:37 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, disable the wireless. | 01:37 |
| Shwack | mmvx - i usually don't drink. however, losing my home directory for trying to change my login password = fml | 01:37 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, change the encryption method | 01:37 |
| hanasaki | what is a good tool to admin user accounts in ldap? | 01:37 |
| Out_Cold | hyperstream, then he'd reset the router and all would be a waste... | 01:37 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, its only a ps3 lol | 01:37 |
| mmvx | Shwack I think beer is looking like a good option right now! | 01:38 |
| syockit | chai: gotta love adobe for not giving instruction for uninstallation | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | he sits at home all day collecting unemployment and playing vids.. | 01:38 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero what you can do is google for this error. maybe someone have a solution. | 01:38 |
| hyperstream | i hear ... the secrets that you keep... when yo talking in yah sleep :P | 01:38 |
| Out_Cold | then he complains when his signal cuts out.... i mean the damn wifi is running nearly 18 hours a day..... | 01:38 |
| Shwack | mmvx - yeah... i'm really depressed. i had just spend 2 days tweaking css themes for my i2p router page and had tons of personal pictures I would love to get back | 01:38 |
| chai | syockit, lol, yea theres even files for windows and os x in there... | 01:39 |
| iKernel | need to take a core dump brb | 01:39 |

| mmvx | Shwack you'd think there would be a way. somehow. I mean, changing your password is quite normal and expected behaviour | 01:39 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, interferance is generally caused by things like Fridge's and stuff, cordless phones | 01:39 |
| ilumi | !videoedit | 01:39 |
| ilumi | !videoediting | 01:39 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: Yeah, like I said, if no-one here has come across it, and given all these users I'm guessing pretty much all archtectures are represented, then it was probably just a shoddy format/install. | 01:39 |
| Shwack | mmvx - that is the thing - I'm on Ubuntu live Cd, I have my filesystems and /home folder mounted | 01:39 |
| Shwack | I have chroot access | 01:39 |
| chai | syockit, just tried to install the package and got "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)"... looks like i'll need linux32 after all.. | 01:39 |
| Out_Cold | hyperstream, of which there is 2 walls, a fridge and a cordless phone between him and his COD4 | 01:39 |
| hyperstream | gtg, Ubuntu Lucid wants to reboot for updates. lets hope nothing breaks :P | 01:39 |
| Shwack | mmvx - i have my wrapper-passphrase file, and I have my old login passowrd that should decrypt it and show me my passphrase | 01:40 |
| syockit | chai: removing acrobat from opt will delete. the only other taint would be the link in /usr/bin | 01:40 |
| mmvx | jukebox-zero I'm with prezmo_one, as you have nothing to lose really. Ext4 is faster than ext3 | 01:40 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, EWW, cod4 on ps3, now thats mental. Mouse + Keyboard combo = win. | 01:40 |
| karmst | Out_Cold that sounds like my fiancee.... | 01:40 |
| karmst | haha | 01:40 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, back in 2 mins, reboot | 01:40 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero might be installer error. might be a problem with your configuration | 01:40 |
| Shwack | mmvx - i have everything I need - and for some reason it's not working. I am so frustrated... 48 hours later i'm still not able to get it working | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | karmst is a lady?? | 01:40 |
| jukebox-zero | mmvx: was wondering if there would be any difference. Good to know. | 01:40 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero give a try with old ext3. must work. maybe grub does not support ext4 yet? | 01:41 |
| quietone | what do I need to do so that the services on my machine are available to the home network when the machine is booted and I am not logged in? | 01:41 |
| syockit | karmst: yay clicky works on new plugin! | 01:41 |
| mmvx | przemo_one yes it does, ext4 is default in karmic | 01:41 |
| Out_Cold | quietone, what services? | 01:41 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: If all else fails I'll just reburn the whole cd from iso and try try again. Formatting the whole sda drive anyway so I can't really ruin anything. | 01:41 |
| quietone | I have the family calendar on my machine (.ics files) | 01:42 |
| mmvx | Shwack I don't know much about encrypted directories sadly | 01:42 |
| Shwack | mmvx - I know nothing - I'm new to Ubuntu. I didn't even know my home directory was encrypted. | 01:42 |
| jukebox-zero | actually... I'm wondering if my swap ended up at the beginning at the drive and if that would make a difference at all... | 01:42 |
| chai | syockit, weird... still same error with linux32 | 01:42 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero check md5 of iso or use build in cd autocheck. there is no need to burn another disc. | 01:42 |
| Shwack | mmvx - I love Ubuntu but this is going to scare me into making a new DVD backup of my home folder every other day | 01:43 |
| przemo_one | mmvx i run upgrade from 9.04. next time use ext4 | 01:43 |
| przemo_one | mmvx any way to convert from 3 to 4? | 01:43 |
| quietone | Out_Cold: everything works fine if I am logged in. I think I just need to have the wireless start on boot. But I don't know how to do that. | 01:44 |
| sinsun | How to uninstall a tarball program? #sudo make uninstall ????? | 01:44 |
| ubuntu_ | could any one please help me with grub2. its throwing an error when trying to start my new ubuntu install | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sinsun: if you are lucky that may work. | 01:44 |
| ubuntu_ | says cant load and a long serial number | 01:44 |
| przemo_one | sinsun yes | 01:45 |
| Out_Cold | quietone, you would want to edit your IP table to allow connections from your local network ie: 192.168.x.x and also have the apps loaded into the /etc/init.d or the umm... startup file which i forgot the name of | 01:45 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one I was to lazy to figure converting out so I'm just dumping all files on one drive, formatting, moving again, formatting. done. | 01:45 |
| mmvx | Shwack there is a bit about changing your password on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder | 01:45 |
| sinsun | Dr_Willis: thx, really works | 01:45 |
| ubuntu_ | I started a forum thread but am trying to get it fixed tonight | 01:45 |
| mmvx | przemo_one I think there is but it's a PITA | 01:45 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_: Does it say "error: no such device: *long old number*? | 01:45 |
| ubuntu_ | yea | 01:46 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero ext3 is my / | 01:46 |
| sinsun | Anyone uses Bespin in KDE? | 01:46 |
| przemo_one | mmvx what's PITA? | 01:46 |

| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ *high five* I got the same problem. Let you know if I find the answer :) | 01:46 |
| teratoma | what is out there in Karmic that looks like GOS ? | 01:46 |
| mmvx | przemo_one Pain In The A*** | 01:46 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, did you have ubuntu installed previously on the hard drive? | 01:46 |
| Dandan | Is there a name given to a piece of audio before processing? Like when you record a podcast, before adding intro, outro, and commercials, is there a name or adjective for that? | 01:46 |
| Out_Cold | quietone, the script is /etc/rc.local | 01:46 |
| tawd | i found that it would of been too involved, so i backed up all my data, and did a clean install of 9.10 with ext4 :) | 01:46 |
| quietone | Out_Cold: thats sounds right. So, I'll read up on init.d, that a start. | 01:47 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one Yeah, it's a pain. I just dpgk -l and gonna paste the output into apt-get when I get up and running to clone how it used to be. | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | quietone, that loads apps before you log in.. so it can run your wifi and your calender prog | 01:47 |
| przemo_one | mmvx i could backup all files, then restore and reinstall grub | 01:47 |
| __freak__ | Приветствую всех, есть рускоговорящие? | 01:47 |

| ubottu | Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. | 01:47 |
| quietone | Out_Cold: Ah, that sounds right. (I am returning to *nix after hmm 16 years ) | 01:47 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ Went from 7.10 to 9.10. Reformatted like it was a whole new install though. | 01:47 |
| Out_Cold | kinda funny how the basics never change | 01:48 |
| chai | syockit, well reader works "well enough" from the .bin, and no way to install from .deb on amd64. workin with it | 01:48 |
| quietone | Out_Cold: Thanks. I'm off to read! | 01:48 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, holly crap me too | 01:48 |
| syockit | chai: no hangs? | 01:48 |
| mmvx | Shwack but I think maybe you could boot into your install as root, then su to yourself, then try the password commands. I'm off , its very late here in the UK! przemo_one it's easier to back up the files and just reinstall ubuntu! Shwack good luck | 01:48 |
| JSeymour | Stress-test passed! Yay! \o/ | 01:49 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ good to know. Means there might be something to this thing. | 01:49 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, this is day 3 of trying to fix the stupid thing. thinking of switching distros for this computer as i need to get it up and working | 01:49 |
| Out_Cold | my stress test was getting me all wound up... i left | 01:49 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, right now i am looking into loading lilo and giving the finger to grub | 01:49 |
| chai | syockit, upon restart, so far no. maybe it was initial configuration that hanged everything. had to wait a solid 5 minutes where my comp wouldn't do anything when reader first started | 01:49 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ how many attempts have you made at installing 9.10? | 01:49 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, counting the bad cds i burned off i think i am at 8 | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | ubuntu_, what types of drives are you trying to format to?? | 01:50 |
| chai | syockit, well thanks. i'm off to actually read those journals now :D | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | ubuntu_, lvms?? | 01:50 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, segate 80 gig ext4 | 01:50 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ I do know there is a known bug with the 7.10 kernel that ends in 15 and were supposed to boot into the previous version to upgrade dist, but I thought formatting would bypass that... | 01:50 |
| ubuntu_ | Out_Cold, sorry that was for you | 01:50 |
| * JSeymour looks at ubuntu_'s thread... | 01:50 | |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ berify image or use build in media verification. it might not be a corrupted cd. | 01:50 |
| Out_Cold | ubuntu_, are you trying to install with the lvms? | 01:51 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ grate thing is to get cd by torrent | 01:51 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, i checked the cd cd is good | 01:51 |
| ubuntu_ | md5 hash on it | 01:51 |
| syockit | chai: debian-multimedia repo has deb for amd64. meh, basically the same thing. since you're using it as standalone viewer, and not plugin, probably you don't have to bother about the debs | 01:51 |
| ubuntu_ | Out_Cold, have not checking into lvms | 01:51 |
| Out_Cold | i had many issues when installing my server 9.10 only because of the lvms.. have you tried a different install disk?/ | 01:52 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ please again paste that forum topic you started | 01:52 |
| Out_Cold | ubuntu_, like server or alt disk? | 01:52 |
| hyperstream | how do i change my hostname properly, so that when i login to my Wifi router the name of the PC is different. | 01:52 |

| ubuntu_ | some info here about grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408 | 01:55 |
| hyperstream | Out_Cold, another suggestion if the 32bit disc fails, is to join #ubuntu+1 the next version in developement(Lucid 10.4 i think) when ever i have install/boot/graphic issues with any machines i install into(mainly laptops) i find that Lucid works out of the box where Karmic does not. | 01:55 |

| Dr_Willis | Maletor: i tend to use vlc. I really dont like the interface to xbmc. or some of the quirks it has. I do try it agaion about every 3 months. | 01:59 |
| sinsun | jmadero: did you set XIM? | 01:59 |

| jmadero | sinsun: no I haven't done much, with Jaunty it was so easy to set up languages, since then it's gone way down hill | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Maletor: installing xbmc right now on the wifes windows box. But she also tends to just use vlc | 01:59 |
| jmadero | I don't even know where to start, should I first go to system -> admin -> language support and install my languages? | 01:59 |
| Out_Cold | if vlc was a woman... i'd be putty in her hands :p | 01:59 |
| JSeymour | monroecr: I get those, too. The pulseaudio log entries, that is. I have had my system flat seize-up on me twice, but I dont' think they're related. The pulseaudio events I believe are just a busy system buss. | 01:59 |

| rjb | i make a mistake how can i undo a command ln -s? | 02:02 |
| Out_Cold | DubAndy, because hdmi out is easier and cheaper | 02:02 |

| belak | oops | 02:05 |
| monroecr | JSeymour: psyu = psu | 02:06 |
| belak | jmadero: how? | 02:06 |
| faileas | belak: iirc you should use an img with the dd, or usb creator method, not the iso | 02:06 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ can you mount that ext4 partition? | 02:06 |
| JSeymour | monroecr: I'm running a server. Has lots of fans :) | 02:06 |

| hikenboot | hello i have a problem i have setup my system with an encrypted tmp volume. I am getting a message that some of the mounts listed /tmp can not yet be mounted. Had this problem before and it required a reinstall. This occured after enabling desktop effects with dynamic desktop ( I am using the real time kernel due to a issue with sound) ...anyone able to help? | 02:06 |
| belak | Where are the .img's? | 02:06 |
| jmadero | darkham, what is your system? | 02:06 |
| JSeymour | monroecr: Tho, some day, I'm going to have to put a temp gauge by the exhaust to see what the exhaust temps are like. | 02:06 |
| hikenboot | my guess its a timing issue | 02:06 |

| Takyoji | Why is it that SD card seem to only mount in read-only mode starting in 9.10? | 02:07 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ can you paste dmesg somehow? | 02:07 |
| Takyoji | cards* | 02:07 |
| dragondon | looking for a program that is opensource/free and uses ambient sounds (with a windows verstion needed....yeah...I know...) | 02:07 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, sure let me run it and pastebin it | 02:08 |
| === ari_stress is now known as satpam_kandang | ||
| Zorg | argh why are linux icons complicated... | 02:08 |
| usser | dragondon, cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp :) | 02:08 |
| Takyoji | :P | 02:08 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, are you sure you want dmesg? | 02:08 |
| usser | dragondon, but seriously elaborate | 02:08 |
| ubuntu_ | that looks like network stuff | 02:08 |
| faileas | belak: bleh, it seems they don't support it any more. | 02:09 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ few last lines :) please use some website to paste | 02:09 |
| belak | wtf? | 02:09 |
| belak | Sorry | 02:09 |
| faileas | belak: in which cause unetbootin is what you have to use, i suppose | 02:09 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ and my previous question. was it upgrade from 32 to 32 distro? | 02:09 |
| faileas | belak: i'm suprised too. the old method worked really well | 02:09 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, this is a fresh install not an upgrade | 02:10 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ or from 32 to 64. yes i know, but before was it the same architecture? | 02:10 |
| dragondon | usser need to find a program that uses abmient sounds (either user added or included) and my wacky idea of creating it through Ubuntu and porting it to windows to show off :) Although I don't know squat about programming... | 02:10 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, http://pastebin.org/71932 and it used to be 7.10 32bit | 02:11 |
| Mezner | In KDE for ubuntu, does anyone know of an application that will allow me to see or test my sound levels for input easily? | 02:11 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ / et al I found a note in the release notes that says switching from ext2/3 to ext 4 will cause the grub to fail to load the kernel... Though they refer to 9.04. Says we need to use the grub-install command. Though it doesn't specify how. | 02:11 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ and is it now 64 bit? | 02:11 |
| usser | dragondon, thats it? | 02:11 |
| randompanzy | hi everyone i was wondering if i could find someone to help with with a screen problem on a ps3 install of ubuntu as im losing my mind trying to figure it out | 02:12 |
| ubuntu_ | przemo_one, yea 64 bit now | 02:12 |
| usser | dragondon, hang on a sec | 02:13 |
| dragondon | usser yeah, visuals are not critical. Think nice meditating or falling asleep sound-type program. | 02:13 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, man this just keeps getting worse it seems | 02:13 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, in that they knew about it and didnt fix it. you would think people would like to start there new os after they install it | 02:13 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ ok few things i have on my mind now. one is to boot into your installed os somehow. i know how, but it might be not the simplast way. run grub-install. second is to remove all partitions form your drive. make it totally clean. then reboot and do install. | 02:14 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ that sounds like the solution... Now I'm just trying to figure out how to run grub-install with nothing resembling a command line, or any access to the kernel. I'd kill for a MSDOS style boot disk. | 02:14 |
| rjb | i made a wrong command sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/ge how can i undo? | 02:14 |
| Maletor | What do I type to find all the IPs on my network? | 02:14 |
| Takyoji | Anyone else here at all dealt with SD cards being read-only (and not permitting it to be mounted with write permitted)? | 02:15 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, why not live cd? | 02:15 |
| belak | wtf? this should say that this has more that 3.2 gb on the hard drive... even for a mini, right? | 02:15 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero do you have system rescue cd? | 02:15 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one: Not a working one apparently. You got some linkage to an iso? | 02:15 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, i am also trying it from my live cd | 02:16 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero google. its a distribution for system things. do you have 64 bit ubuntu installed? | 02:16 |
| Takyoji | Maletor: If you're talking about IPs of systems on a LAN, use the network analysis tool called "Zenmap" (which is a GUI for nmap); if you're talking about the WAN IP, you can just check your IP address on a typical "What's my IP address?" website | 02:16 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ nod nod, I'm too lazy to walk to my other box. | 02:16 |
| _diablo | lucid is still alpha-1 right? | 02:17 |
| dim3000 | how do I start openbox or any other de from terminal? | 02:17 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one. I'm chasing down 10 different google searches regarding this bug at the moment. And no, I'm using the 32bit i386 | 02:17 |
| tawd | anyone have any experience with live usb's? how would i be able to make it request my login ID and password, instead of automatically boot into root | 02:18 |
| randompanzy | lol if your all too busy to help me mind giving me a link that isnt so confusing to fix this screen resolution problem/ | 02:18 |
| pavelz | hi... i am installing 9.10 desktop, wonder if there any way to LVM all my drives into one? | 02:18 |
| Maletor | Takyoji: then what's the command in nmap? | 02:18 |
| jtaji | pavelz: certainly, you need to use the alternate install cd | 02:19 |
| jukebox-zero | prezemo_one regarding your question of converting to ext4: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 | 02:19 |
| pavelz | i haven't found any people intitalizing their setup with LVM... | 02:19 |
| pavelz | oh deal | 02:19 |
| pavelz | dear | 02:19 |
| pavelz | jtaji: which is? | 02:19 |
| jtaji | !alternate | pavelz | 02:19 |
| ubottu | pavelz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 02:19 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one fair warning though, apparently ext4 has known bugs with manipulating large files. | 02:19 |
| pavelz | jtaji: thanks! damn my drives are wiped :) | 02:20 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ "Right now there's not a stable version of grub that supports booting a kernel from a ext4 partition. It's recommended that you keep /boot in a ext3 partition." | 02:21 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero get system rescue cd, burn. boot. at lilo type rescuecd root=/dev/sda1 | 02:21 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ would have been nice to know before hand right? | 02:21 |
| sinthetek | if i want to revert to pre-karmic network initialization, should removing network-manager and modifying /etc/network/interfaces do the trick or is there something else i should do as well? | 02:21 |
| DrDamnit | Hello! How to I jail users in /home/userdir? | 02:21 |
| jukebox-zero | So the answer is ext4 is *useless* :) | 02:21 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, thats about the stupidest thing I have heard in so fing long | 02:22 |
| przemo_one | ubuntu_ get system rescue cd, burn. boot. at lilo type rescue64 root=/dev/sda1 | 02:22 |
| Takyoji | Maletor: I believe it should be as simple as "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.0-255" which would scan all IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 | 02:22 |
| trap | i know theres a rootkit on my system, wireshark isnt picking it up...how can i make sure the rootkit isn't hiding itself from the packet sniffer? | 02:22 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one thanks, but it seems like it'll just be easier to reformat to ext3. | 02:22 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero ubuntu_ you'll be able to login to your ubuntu. from there type sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 02:23 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, damn i hate to even waste more time trying to install using ext3 but i guess i will. oh hang on a friend installed 9.10 let me ask if he is ext3 or 4 | 02:23 |
| przemo_one | jukebox-zero ubuntu_ ok | 02:23 |
| cyberjorge | how do I find out if my PCI is supported / detected? what command can I use | 02:24 |
| DrDamnit | Hello! How to I jail users in /home/userdir? | 02:24 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, all i get when i try and do the grub-install is Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.; | 02:24 |
| jtaji | ubuntu_: I'm on 9.10 with /boot on ext4 on lvm, works fine | 02:24 |
| jukebox-zero | przemo_one It sounds worthwhile to try, but I'm a little hungup on the release docs saying there is *no* stable grub that supports booting from an ext4 partition. Makes me think it might still epic fail on me | 02:24 |
| Takyoji | cyberjorge: lspci is the command to "LiSt PCI interfaces" | 02:24 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, yea my friend is ext4 and its working | 02:24 |
| cyberjorge | Takyoji: I've tried that but no result | 02:25 |
| jmadero | cyberjorge, sudo lspci | 02:26 |
| jmadero | actually shouldn't matter | 02:26 |
| rmozden | Shouldnt need to sudo lspci | 02:26 |
| jmadero | yeah, just realized that | 02:26 |
| jmadero | cyberjorge, what's the error? | 02:26 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ well, I'm gonna reinstall in ext3, as I've been researching this, I've come across numerous issues that scare me about ext4. Especially the may not handle manipulation of large files warning. I'm gonna wait till 10.4 to even mess with it. | 02:26 |
| rmozden | if you cant run it via a direct command, try /sbin/lspci | 02:26 |
| cyberjorge | jmadero: same | 02:26 |
| jmadero | jukebox, I use ext4 and have for a long time | 02:26 |
| jmadero | works great | 02:26 |
| jmadero | I notice a great increase in performance | 02:27 |
| rmozden | I have a question about Broadcom adapters | 02:27 |
| cyberjorge | jmadero: no error just goes back to prompt | 02:27 |
| rmozden | is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02) supported in 9.10? | 02:27 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, yea the performance is good i have ext4 on my work computer and its good | 02:27 |
| ubuntu_ | just 9.10 blows | 02:27 |
| Takyoji | Yes, BCM4311 is supported if I remember correctly | 02:27 |
| jmadero | yeah but for a lot of cards you'll need the STA driver | 02:27 |
| jmadero | I did all of the sudden, no clue why | 02:27 |
| rmozden | Good, now I can get rid of Sabayon | 02:27 |
| jtaji | rmozden: most broadcom wireless seems to work nowadays | 02:28 |
| Takyoji | Just stupidly have to do a couple of tweaks though I believe | 02:28 |
| jukebox-zero | jmadero Good to hear a vote of confidence. :) Still... nothing GNU/Linux ever works for me how it's supposed to right off. Not saying it's bad, obviously I like it. My machines just have bad juju. | 02:28 |
| Takyoji | (from what I've experienced) | 02:28 |
| jmadero | anyone know why my wireless card worked in live versions of Ubuntu up to 9.10 and now it doesn't work until I install drivers? | 02:28 |
| === mattgyver[L] is now known as mattgyver | ||
| randompanzy | hi hi? | 02:29 |
| cyberjorge | jmadero: thought I might need a driver? here's the result of /"etc/modprobe.conf..... http://pastebin.com/d5c957e32 | 02:29 |
| rmozden | Now I have question #2 for all of you server geeks. I have a HP DL385 that I upgraded to twin dual-core opteron he's, 8gig ecc ddr400 and u320 10k rpm scsi drives in either raid 0 or raid 5 ( two sets of drives). Will it work out of the box and how difficult is it to make a custom kernel? | 02:30 |
| jukebox-zero | jmadero *shrug* the 9.10 live cd can't even connect to my LAN. | 02:30 |
| anom01y | Hi, I am trying to use VLC to convert .xm / .it audio modules (mods) to .mp3 format. VLC plays the mods just fine, but when its 'convert/save' option VLC outputs this to me: "Streaming / Transcoding failed: | 02:30 |
| anom01y | It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: | 02:30 |
| anom01y | MPEG AAC Audio. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution." | 02:30 |
| jmadero | yeah, that's annoying :( I've liked having wireless working from live | 02:30 |
| jmadero | anom01y be careful with flooding, you'll be booted ;) use pastebin | 02:30 |
| anom01y | jmadero, I didnt know there where return characters in that paste | 02:31 |
| jmadero | you should use another program to convert, vlc isn't designed for it | 02:31 |
| anom01y | ok | 02:31 |
| jmadero | trying to remember what I've used | 02:31 |
| anom01y | mencoder ? | 02:31 |
| harvey | hm..does anyone know what the "--" at the end of the boot parameter list of the desktop cd means? | 02:31 |
| jmadero | yeah no gui though | 02:31 |
| anom01y | thats ok I can ask in #mplayer | 02:32 |
| rmozden | the an pages should help with mencoder | 02:32 |
| rmozden | man* | 02:32 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, trying this now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254 | 02:32 |
| jmadero | anom01y you should be able to use audacious | 02:32 |
| Takyoji | harvey: I'm assuming it is just cutting off at "--". If you held down the left arrow key, it should reveal the rest of it (just an assumption) | 02:32 |
| jmadero | or xmms even | 02:33 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ gonna try install without loading into the live CD. Let you know how it works out. | 02:33 |
| usser | dragondon, meh started writing a script for it but realized you can just use mplayer on command line with a playlist and shuffle | 02:33 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, dont bother it didnt make any difference for me | 02:33 |
| aiwata55 | I have a question regarding Ubuntu + Drupal. According to this guy, it seems that a mail server is not necessary (http://groups.drupal.org/node/22401#comment-77421). Is this true? | 02:33 |
| usser | dragondon, anyhow, if its any use, heres a little script that will keep picking a song from a directory at random and play it until you kill it | 02:33 |
| usser | dragondon, http://pastebin.com/f67e8c278 | 02:33 |
| anom01y | jmadero, yeah I would but I can't configure it to detect anything being inputted | 02:34 |
| anom01y | jmadero, hmm one sec I will try again. | 02:34 |
| Losha | anom01y: mp3 is missing from the general distro for legal reasons. Check out medibuntu.... | 02:34 |
| aiwata55 | When I set up a new Drupal installation, Drupal alerts me that there is no mail server, therefore it couldn't send a e-mail to the admin user. | 02:34 |
| Losha | !medibuntu | 02:34 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:34 |
| jmadero | anom01y, I sent you a link | 02:34 |
| Takyoji | aiwata55: try installing "sendmail", I think that should resolve your issue | 02:35 |
| rmozden | sendmail - eww | 02:35 |
| gooma | does anyone have any experiece with scrotwm? | 02:35 |
| dragondon | usser thanks, although only been using Ubuntu for about 4 months (somewhat new to me but not new to tech, cut my teeth on a Vic20 :) so we'll see if I can get it working :) | 02:35 |
| rmozden | omg - another dinasaur like me! | 02:35 |
| usser | dragondon, just install mplayer-nogui with sudo apt-get install mplayer-nogui | 02:36 |
| syockit | aiwata55: not necessary for local usage. error will still come out as the password reset mechanism needs a mailing daemon | 02:36 |
| usser | dragondon, save the script somewhere ie in a file shuffle.sh | 02:36 |
| jmadero | I can't stand mplayer...:( I wish VLC would be adopted as default player | 02:36 |
| harvey | Takyoji: hm, no - "--" really seem to be the last two characters of that line - I'm just wondering if I have to put my parameters after, or before that "--" | 02:36 |
| dragondon | yeah, been around, got suckered in the windows-blackhole.....finally got tired of being 'dummed down' to spyware and virus issues. | 02:36 |
| usser | dragondon, make it executable chmod +x /path/to/shuffle.sh | 02:36 |
| aiwata55 | Takyoji, thank you for your advice. I know i can solve my issue once I install a mail server. Actually once I tried Postfix. But my concern is the more services I open, the more vulnerability I put into my server. | 02:36 |
| adamonline45 | Hello! I'm installing 9.10 server, and the install is stopping at a screen titled "[!] Ubuntu installer main menu" and the option "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" is highlighted... When I select it, it just goes back to the same thing. Last attempt I tried to Continue without boot loader, but then it wouldn't boot. Any ideas? | 02:36 |
| Takyoji | ahh | 02:37 |
| usser | dragondon, and run it with /path/to/shuffle.sh /directory/with/ambient/sounds | 02:37 |
| rmozden | dragondon: you get a ^5 | 02:37 |
| usser | jmadero, i dont like vlc | 02:37 |
| jmadero | adamonline -- use alternative install | 02:37 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ Lemme know how that link works for you. I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I'm a little dyslexic and having to re-read it over and over to spot what they changed. | 02:37 |
| jmadero | usser -- why not? everyone likes vlc ;) | 02:37 |
| jmadero | mplayer never searches right for me | 02:37 |
| rmozden | ok - time to go burn a lable, back up this laptop and then install on the laptop first | 02:37 |
| jmadero | the fast forward/rewind is weird, and the skin is horrible | 02:38 |
| usser | jmadero, mplayer runs on a framebuffer. mplayer runs without a gui. mplayer is not written in QT :) | 02:38 |
| adamonline45 | jmadero: As in, the different ISO? I can do that. Do you know why I need to do this? | 02:38 |
| rmozden | Thanks for the Broadcom answer folks | 02:38 |
| jmadero | adamonline -- different issues come up with the GUI install....can't say exactly what would cause yours or if this would even fix it but it's the first advice for most people seeing a ahng | 02:38 |
| usser | jmadero, yea default skin sucks | 02:38 |
| ubuntu_ | jukebox-zero, restarting now | 02:38 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ got my fingers crossed for you. ;) | 02:39 |
| adamonline45 | jmadero: Great, thank you :) | 02:39 |
| jmadero | sure, good luck, the alternative install almost always works | 02:39 |
| jmadero | you can also install via thumb drive | 02:39 |
| jmadero | save some cd's and what not | 02:39 |

| alex87 | how do you developers out there manage shared passwords? | 02:41 |
| jmadero | use keys from the ppa | 02:41 |
| aiwata55 | syockit: sorry, I didn't understand your advice. Alright, so you mean, it depends on whether I need Drupal to handle e-mails. | 02:41 |
| jmadero | and sign stuff using our keys and shared keys are trusted | 02:41 |
| syockit | aiwata55: I used to install drupal manually (not by repository). the same email warning comes out but I managed to finish installation anyways | 02:41 |

| gkahla | karmst- a .so file is the Linux-equivalent of a Windows DLL file. a library that supports an app. where does the documentation tell you to put it? | 02:45 |
| usser | dragondon, heh welcome to the club | 02:45 |
| jmadero | oh you have to put it in your default profiles plugin directory | 02:45 |
| jmadero | .mozilla is hidden --> use cntrl+h to show it in nautilus | 02:45 |
| xims | :-D hell | 02:46 |
| rjb | anybody can tell me if /usr/bin/ge is a valid ubuntu file? | 02:46 |
| dragondon | usser thanks again.....learning is soooo much fun.... | 02:46 |
| syockit | ah I suppose you're installing that 64-bit plugin manually? いわんこっちゃ | 02:46 |
| dragondon | rjb user binge....hehe..... | 02:46 |
| Quasar1048 | Does anyone have any experience configuring the Logitech G series keyboards' macro keys under Ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| jmadero | syockit, do what I said and it'll work, I have the 64 installed | 02:46 |
| alloosh | did anybody have problem with quanta+ before? while typing it loses focus and the focus goes to the application menu!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 02:46 |
| syockit | that's why i gave you the launchpad link that had the debian link to the native 64-bit deb | 02:47 |
| gkahla | rjb - it doesn't appear on my system, but I don't know what you've got installed... | 02:47 |
| Losha | rjb: run dpkg -S /usr/bin/ge and it will say which package it belongs to.... | 02:47 |
| karmst | /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? | 02:47 |
| rjb | Losha thank you genius | 02:47 |
| aiwata55 | syockit: no worry, i guess. I once installed Postfix via apt-get, and it worked out of the box | 02:47 |
| gkahla | karmst - looks like that might work | 02:47 |
| karmst | hmmm | 02:48 |
| richthegeek | are there any (mechanical, electrical) engineers in here who can answer some non-ubuntu questions? | 02:48 |
| karmst | permission denied? | 02:48 |
| richthegeek | and how can I downgrade my GDM so I can use themes again | 02:48 |
| joshua___ | richthegeek: get an /etc/sources.list for an older version, remove and reinstall gdm | 02:49 |
| joshua___ | works like a charm | 02:49 |
| karmst | ah cp command worked with sudo | 02:49 |
| richthegeek | joshua__: care to expand on the first section of your solution? | 02:49 |
| Eltume | Does anyone know of a business software that allows you to create organized profiles of customers with information such as name, phone, number, email, money owed, etc? | 02:49 |
| richthegeek | Eltume: search for "CRM" in Google? | 02:49 |
| coop3r | dont all commands work with sudo? | 02:49 |
| joshua___ | well if you want an older version of something, you need an older source | 02:49 |
| joshua___ | you see, the package lookup is controlled by /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:50 |
| richthegeek | joshua__: sure, the only available version is 2.2.8 | 02:50 |

| li_bai | anyone have the insydeh20 bios? is there a way to disable drives? i'm not seeing anything | 02:51 |
| joshua___ | probably | 02:51 |
| Shipmaster | any bookkeeping apps for ubuntu???? | 02:51 |
| karmst | ok | 02:51 |
| joshua___ | but unless you want to risk weird trouble you want one for an older ubuntu | 02:51 |
| karmst | I installed the .so in the firefox plugins directory | 02:52 |
| JoaoJoao | I just installed 9.10 but there is no sound working, it worked flawlessly in 9.04. I removed 9.04 and did a 9.10 clean install. I'd guess it's a pulseaudio problem again | 02:52 |
| karmst | but it says there is no flashplayer installed in the browser | 02:52 |
| Losha | alex87: interesting problem. We used to whisper them to each other.... | 02:52 |
| jmadero | karmst, did you restart firefox? | 02:52 |
| jmadero | and you're sure that it's in the default profiles profile? | 02:52 |
| syockit | sinsun: thanks to majority of them being gamers, and majority of games being windows only. but OFFTOPIC | 02:52 |
| wankdanker | JoaoJoao: what kind of computer? | 02:52 |
| alex87 | Losha, haha, just looking for an online password manager that isn't clipperz | 02:52 |
| chanfle | Quick question: just made a USB-Ubunutu9.10 installer, but I'm wondering if it's actually FOR installing, or is it meant to BOOT from the usb every time? | 02:53 |
| sinsun | syockit: truly, | 02:53 |
| karmst | yes I closed all firefox windows and reopened it | 02:53 |
| jmadero | chanfle - for installing | 02:53 |
| JoaoJoao | wankdanker, This is a notebook with a SiS audio controller | 02:53 |
| FlightB | 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 02:53 |
| chanfle | jmad - good, that's what i wanted. | 02:53 |
| jmadero | karmst -- it's in the wrong folder then....what folder did you put it in exactly? | 02:53 |
| FlightB | thats my network adapter thing | 02:53 |
| FlightB | wireless | 02:53 |
| FlightB | i cant find drivers for it | 02:53 |
| chanfle | Cause all of the guides say "now you can boot ubuntu from your usb whenever" etc.. | 02:53 |
| karmst | /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 02:53 |
| Eltume | Any CRM software alternatives? | 02:53 |
| FlightB | for use with ndiswrapper | 02:53 |
| karmst | ls | 02:54 |
| tawd | chanfle it's a live usb. you can install from it or you can use it as a portable computer | 02:54 |
| syockit | chanfle: how did you make it? if from live cd image, then yes, you can install from it | 02:54 |
| JoaoJoao | I'm guessing removing pulseaudio and installing oss4 would do the trick | 02:54 |
| jmadero | chanfle -- it's called a live distro, you can run it off of the drive | 02:54 |
| peaches2 | i have a computer with 2 80gb hard drives, partitioned hda/b 1 - raid1, 2-boot, 3-swap. i want to upgrade this with two new 1tb drives. what is the best way to go about this? | 02:54 |
| Losha | JoaoJoao: 9.10 is notorious for this. I had good luck with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. Just skip the section that doesn't apply with the alsa gui | 02:54 |
| FlightB | http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Atheros_AR5001X <-- only atheros driver i found | 02:54 |
| FlightB | and its not for me | 02:54 |
| jmadero | karmst -- I'd install it actually in my home folder | 02:54 |
| FlightB | =[ | 02:54 |
| chanfle | Great, thx for the help everybody. | 02:54 |
| jmadero | not in the /usr folder | 02:54 |
| hcker2000_ | it works | 02:54 |
| syockit | chanfle: i.e. if you made it using unetbootin | 02:54 |
| Xfact | everyone. after installing program (no matter game or application...) after 2-3 boots it's some features getting inaccessible, (when I am trying to use the features...it's aborting... | 02:54 |
| JoaoJoao | Losha, thanks. I hate Pulseaudio :) | 02:54 |
| froes | i have an usb stick, dial up connection, and i`d like to share it through wifi, how can i do it ??? | 02:54 |
| hcker2000_ | i can boot in now | 02:54 |
| Losha | JoaoJoao: you, me, and everyone else. I'm betting by now the author does too... | 02:55 |
| wankdanker | JoaoJoao: i had this issue on my hp laptop, intel audio, i got working via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 02:55 |
| JoaoJoao | Losha, Is installing OSS4 a good idea? | 02:55 |
| karmst | ok well in /home/user/.mozilla/firefox I have only a off2mdwe.default folder | 02:55 |
| jmadero | yeah go in there | 02:55 |
| Eltume | any crm software for ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| jmadero | it's your default profile if theres only the one | 02:55 |
| richthegeek | Eltume: better off looking for online ones | 02:55 |
| Quasar1048 | i am trying to istall g15tools so i can use macro keys, but i get a lot of errors... can someone help? The only error I can get right now is this one when i try to install g15daemon: | 02:55 |
| karmst | what put it in extensions? | 02:56 |
| Eltume | what's a popular online one? | 02:56 |
| Quasar1048 | Crap.. didnt copy. :( | 02:56 |
| richthegeek | Quasar1048: I use Compiz keycodes for my macro keys | 02:56 |
| wankdanker | JoaoJoao: had to add a options snd-hda-intel model=5stack line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 02:56 |
| Eltume | I should use | 02:56 |
| wankdanker | JoaoJoao: if you haven't tried something of this nature, it might be worth a shot. | 02:56 |
| === zz_b0w is now known as b0w | ||
| JoaoJoao | Ah now I remember having to do that in this same notebook | 02:56 |
| richthegeek | Eltume: I don't know, I don't use CRM - just I know its a pretty well covered app online... google it | 02:56 |
| Quasar1048 | This is the error: E: g15daemon: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 02:56 |
| JoaoJoao | Dammit me and my faulty mind | 02:56 |
| Losha | JoaoJoao: sorry, dunno. Sound is really hardware dependent so it's hard to advise. And there are a million web sites on different things to try to get sound working..... | 02:57 |
| Quasar1048 | I've had so many similar ones. :( | 02:57 |
| Quasar1048 | richthegeek: Oh? I never thought of that... | 02:57 |
| karmst | hmm | 02:57 |
| * Quasar1048 goes to look in compiz | 02:57 | |
| jmadero | karmst | 02:57 |
| syockit | karmst: i think you're better off putting it in ~/.mozilla/plugins . create the directory if it doesn't exist | 02:57 |
| karmst | ah ok | 02:57 |
| jmadero | give me just aminute, I'll see where mine is | 02:57 |
| JoaoJoao | Losha, Now that wankdanker mentions the alsa-base.conf thing I remember I've seen this before. Thanks anyway | 02:58 |
| Losha | JoaoJoao: free advice. It's worth every penny.... | 02:58 |
| JoaoJoao | ;) | 02:58 |
| karmst | hey | 02:58 |
| karmst | thanks jmadero that worked | 02:59 |
| karmst | =) | 02:59 |
| jmadero | good stuff | 02:59 |
| jmadero | you should have your home on a separate partition | 02:59 |
| jmadero | that way whenever you reinstall or upgrade you'll have flash out of box working | 02:59 |
| Quasar1048 | richthegeek: naw, that doesnt do what i want | 02:59 |
| jmadero | plus you'll have all your configurations up | 02:59 |
| jmadero | (firefox bookmarks, etc....) | 02:59 |
| tawd | firefox bookmarks can also be easily saved with xmarks addon | 03:00 |
| karmst | it's still kind of messed up flash movies though | 03:00 |
| tawd | that's how i go from linux to windows to linux and have same bookmarks in firefox | 03:00 |
| karmst | not all elements in the movies are showing | 03:00 |
| karmst | syockit: that 64bit alpha flash plugin didn't fix the missing elements issue | 03:01 |
| syockit | karmst: missing elements? what page is this? | 03:02 |

| balazs00 | hi! i need help about energy saving functions! (turn off lcd ...) anybody? | 03:04 |
| jukebox-zero | ubuntu_ oh man, that's frustrating.... I was doing the command line from the grub menu, and the line linux /linuz root=/dev/sda1 ro didn't work so shutdown to reboot into the live cd... and suddenly it works. ARG. That's more infuriating than it not working. Now I don't know what fixed it. | 03:04 |
| burzki | BitBucket, is good for me .. #ubuntu+1 | 03:04 |
| BitBucket | burzki: so it will work reasonable for my machine then ok | 03:05 |
| BitBucket | Just wanted to know if it installs etc... | 03:05 |
| Xfact | having unexpected stability problem in hardy, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352662/ PLZ help :-$:-( | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | BitBucket: proberly depends on the phase of the moon. | 03:06 |
| burzki | works good if you dont rely on it for your primary machine .. | 03:06 |
| burzki | BitBucket, ^^ | 03:06 |
| burzki | BitBucket, Dr_Willis and its mercury retrograde now, i'd wait a couple weeks ;-) | 03:07 |
| BitBucket | Should be ok :D | 03:07 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: how did you install VLC? | 03:07 |
| burzki | BitBucket, "should" be .. | 03:07 |
| Xfact | bitbucket: simply via synaptic... | 03:08 |
| FlightB | sudo apt-get install vlc | 03:08 |
| BitBucket | Xfact you didnt mess with any of the dependancies did you? | 03:09 |
| FlightB | people actually use synaptic? | 03:09 |
| BitBucket | did VLC get upgraded? | 03:09 |
| FlightB | this is news to me | 03:09 |
| BitBucket | Did you try removing the .vlc folder or such | 03:09 |
| Dr_Willis | BitBucket: lets just say that after betatesting the last release early on.. there fcan be some Amazing problems that pop up | 03:09 |
| BitBucket | Dr_Willis: well sounds like its good enough to give a shot. | 03:09 |
| Quasar1048 | This is what it says when I try to install g15daemon: http://pastie.org/769782 | 03:09 |
| Xfact | bitbucket: no I just added apt line from the VLC ppa from launchpad, but I installed the latest hardy supported version of VLC..... | 03:10 |
| BitBucket | ppa | 03:10 |
| BitBucket | so its development | 03:10 |
| Xfact | is it wrong> | 03:10 |
| karmst | ok be back in a few | 03:10 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: did you try the stable release of VLC | 03:10 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: no but if you install the development version you should expect some issues | 03:11 |
| burzki | BitBucket, it is, go for it. i've been running the alpha for a month - only one crash, which resolved itself. dont use update mngr to update, use aptitude | 03:11 |
| jmadero1 | I didn't see a major change in 10.04 alpha | 03:11 |
| Xfact | bitbucket: no I installed the stable version (.9.9) from launch pad, (because my hardy distro's vlc version is to old .8.6.....) | 03:12 |
| BitBucket | burzki: I dont know how to use that gui thing... I can use apt | 03:12 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: it maybe that the distro is too old for the launchpad install | 03:13 |
| Xfact | bitbucket: vlc was just an example, it's also happening with some games and apps in my hardy.... :( is that VIRUS? | 03:13 |
| BitBucket | consider upgrading ubuntu if you want to stay that bleeding edge... | 03:13 |
| BitBucket | hardy is older is it not? | 03:13 |
| slide | My keypad won't work. I have Num Lock on but it does weird stuff when i use the keypad, like moving the mouse etc | 03:13 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: I really doubt its a virus | 03:13 |
| DaZ_ | Xfact: sure, it's a virus. | 03:13 |
| BitBucket | DaZ_: its a valid question | 03:13 |
| DaZ_ | drink much of hot tea with lemon and it'll pass. | 03:14 |
| Xfact | BitBucket: launch pad still distributing software's for hardy... | 03:14 |
| burzki | Xfact, wait for lucid in april to upgrade, you should be able to do dirict as both are LTS | 03:14 |
| Xfact | DaZ_: but many people told me (e,g Dr_Willies) that virus in Ubuntu???!!! ...unacceptable...! | 03:15 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: dont mind DaZ_ he's just being un-helpfull, he doesnt understand what its like to be a user | 03:15 |
| nunyab_ | Hello, can anyone tell me if there is a simple solution to the logon loop issue? | 03:15 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: they are filling you with FUD | 03:15 |
| DaZ_ | Xfact: any console output? [; | 03:15 |
| Xfact | bitucket: thank god, ok thanks...I'll wait for lucid | 03:15 |
| burzki | BitBucket, maybe you know, but just to be safe .. sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- will leave back package conflicts | 03:15 |
| mattgyver | the last virtualbox update seems to have broken my config. It keeps telling me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup however that file is not found, any ideas? | 03:15 |

| Dr_Willis | Xfact: the biggest danger to your system will be the admin doing somtning stupid - most likely :) | 03:16 |
| Xfact | ok ok thanks for help guys :0 | 03:16 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: you might have hardware issues | 03:16 |

| Dr_Willis | listing all the causes for problems in Ubuntu from the top 10.. 'virus' wouldent even be in the top 50.... | 03:17 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: if your machine is just 'rebooting' your probably have bad ram or a bad video card or a bad power supply | 03:17 |

| * BitBucket loves his Lenovo T500 | 03:17 | |

| Losha | Xfact: what Dr_Willis said.... | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | at leat normally theres a entry in the grub menu... | 03:18 |
| DaZ_ | viruses removed it. | 03:18 |
| Xfact | BitBucket: well my PC's hardware is not too old and it's happening recently...even when my pc is idle for hours! | 03:19 |
| Losha | DaZ_: please do not tease the newbies | 03:19 |
| BitBucket | DaZ_: your such a linux guru I so want to be like you! | 03:19 |
| DaZ_ | Losha: what else can i do, all he said was more or less "it doesn't work" | 03:19 |
| BitBucket | Xfact: typically software or OS problems are reproducable | 03:19 |

| BitBucket | _cb: provided you dont delete your windows parittion completly the grub installer should pick it up and give you the menu option | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | _cb: give the linux partitions mountpoints for / and /home and so on. the installer will ask to reformat them ifyou want. | 03:23 |

| Cool_Cat | ok | 03:25 |
| d35iboy | BitBucket: thanks | 03:26 |

| IdleOne | militant: libnotify | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | militant: yes there is.. :) | 03:29 |
| militant | how can i get rid of this before i punch my screen? it's constantly in the way when i'm reading pages and things | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | I think it can be turned off per client | 03:30 |
| BitBucket | militant: umm there is a way I just cant rmeember | 03:30 |
| trism | militant: you can configure/disable them if you're using pidgin in Tools/Plugins/libnotify | 03:30 |
| nunyab_ | I am glad I am not the only one getting frustrated, misery loves company | 03:30 |
| trism | militant: not sure how with other clients, although I'm sure it is similiar | 03:30 |
| BitBucket | militant: what if your computer got mad at you, and punched your screen | 03:31 |
| militant | wow ok that's fixed then. i don't mind it from xchat kuz it's so infrequent but the rest is CRAP. thanks :) | 03:31 |

| militant | ugh. | 03:33 |
| Ademan | is there any way to look up the current running window manager for your user? it seems like that would be possible since the window manager deals with input redirection (and only one x client can "hook" that) | 03:33 |

| balazs00 | hi! i need help about energy saving! (turn off lcd, when i close the lid) [ubuntu 9.10] | 03:35 |
| tawd | jonhnnyboy that's the 32 bit alternate installer. i don't know much about encrypt file system | 03:35 |
| BitBucket | d35iboy: hahahha | 03:35 |
| Jonhnnyboy | d35iboy: supergrub iso | 03:35 |
| DaZ_ | angelogiaub: befriend with ubuntu-restricted-extras and medibuntu repository. | 03:35 |
| d35iboy | I like lilo than grub :D | 03:36 |
| Jonhnnyboy | d35iboy: why? | 03:36 |
| d35iboy | grub messed up my windows boot.ini | 03:36 |
| Joeseph | When I start Rosegarden, (A KDE app) I get the same error as this guy on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rosegarden/+bug/379249 . I can run as gksu, but I don't really want to do that. Any ideas? | 03:37 |
| BitBucket | d35iboy: no, boot.ini is a peice of junk and hardcodes the parittion location, grub doesnt have access to mess up your boot.ini | 03:37 |
| scott_ino2 | hello, i seem to be having a problem accessing my NAS. I can ssh into it, but I'd like to be able to have a mounted network share on my desktop, can anyone help with this | 03:37 |
| d35iboy | but windows doent even show up in boot screen ? | 03:37 |
| BitBucket | what did you do? | 03:38 |
| joshua___ | Normally I'd just write lilo on top of grub but apt-get upgrade doesn't like that | 03:38 |
| DaZ_ | Joeseph: sudo chown `whoami` -R ~/.kde | 03:38 |
| balazs00 | d35iboy: use an win install cd in recovery mode and run fixboot X: [X=drivename] | 03:38 |
| angelogiaub | ok I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and medibuntu repository checked | 03:39 |
| joshua___ | ah I'll just go watch Macgyver | 03:39 |
| d35iboy | balazs08: I will try it | 03:39 |
| Joeseph | DaZ_: So for some reason I don't own my .kde folder... alright. is the -R just recursive? | 03:39 |
| Hilikus | how can i know if my cpu fan supports different speeds? | 03:39 |
| FlightB | where can i getr an older release of ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| balazs00 | d35iboy: will works :) did it some hours before. | 03:39 |
| DaZ_ | Joeseph: if you run something using sudo it may change ownerships | 03:40 |
| DaZ_ | and R means recursive [; | 03:40 |
| d35iboy | also guys I have messed up with encryption keys :( in ubuntu..I had encrypted a folder in ubuntu 8.10..for some reason I installed 9.10 ( instead of upgrading) and those files wont open here | 03:40 |

| rjb | which one is the right place to install programs manually? | 03:44 |
| j-3-r-g_ | yo | 03:44 |
| karmst | well I have this Sams ubuntu 2010 unleashed book so I'm going to go to bed and read a little night everyone | 03:44 |
| harvey | rjb: /opt/program_name | 03:45 |
| j-3-r-g_ | wats up everyone | 03:45 |
| banished | ~/program files if you don't want do be root for that ;-P | 03:45 |
| rjb | harvey why do i need privileges to copy to /opt? | 03:46 |
| MrPockets | So i'm running Ubuntu, with Ubuntu in a VM, | 03:46 |
| MrPockets | using virtualbox, right | 03:46 |
| m3ga | Losha: thanks, but anything I should try from the live cd to test 3D performance? | 03:47 |
| faileas | and? | 03:47 |
| MrPockets | trying to get the virtual machine, to use an IP on the "real" production network | 03:47 |
| MrPockets | currently, it's set up as "nat" which is working, but I can't get to the VM at all | 03:47 |
| m3ga | Losha: thanks, but anything I should try from the live cd to test 3D performance? | 03:48 |
| harvey | rjb: because it is not your home directory? ;) if you want to install some 3rd party software system wide /opt/ is the right place. Otherwise ~/ as banished suggested | 03:48 |
| angelogiaub | Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. | 03:48 |
| rjb | thank you for answer i'll follow your advice | 03:48 |
| j-3-r-g_ | MrPockets what VM software ur using and wat VM OS u installed | 03:49 |
| j-3-r-g_ | ? | 03:49 |
| Losha | m3ga: sorry, I'm not the right person to advise you. I dunno anything about 3d except the movie avatar.... | 03:49 |
| Hammerjak | m3ga: glxgears or glxinfo? | 03:50 |
| MrPockets | j-3-r-g_, Virtualbox | 03:50 |
| MrPockets | ubuntu in ubuntu 9.10 both | 03:50 |
| Losha | MrPockets: usually I used bridged mode and give it a unique address on the same network as the host.... | 03:50 |
| usser | MrPockets, you need to have bridged network | 03:50 |
| m3ga | i know about glcinfo, but don't know what to look fo in its output. i'll try glvgears | 03:50 |
| Hammerjak | glxinfo |grep -i direct | 03:50 |
| MrPockets | ah. Because it's bridging the virtual adapter to my "real" nic? | 03:50 |
| j-3-r-g_ | yup | 03:51 |
| Hammerjak | m3ga: 'direct rendering' is 3d support | 03:51 |
| usser | MrPockets, yep | 03:51 |
| MrPockets | yeah, that totally makes sense | 03:51 |
| j-3-r-g_ | and also u shud check which card u will use | 03:51 |

| rexha | where to get resources to be certificated in linux (lspi) | 03:55 |
| j-3-r-g_ | rexhba: If i'm not correct you can check out red hats home page i think they offer test you can take to be certified in RHLE | 03:57 |
| Hammerjak | i agree with j-3-r-g_, you can get certified for specific linux distros, but not linux in general | 03:57 |
| j-3-r-g_ | I stumble upon it one day however ...that was by chance | 03:57 |
| powertool08 | rexha: Could have something useful: http://www.lpi.org/eng/training__1/study_materials | 03:57 |
| Hammerjak | unless someone proves me wrong of course :) | 03:58 |
| powertool08 | Hammerjak: Check out the link for your proof :) | 03:58 |

| Hammerjak | what do you mean snap? | 04:00 |
| ilumi | ./xxxxx to execute | 04:00 |
| faileas | powertool08: i have a personal wiki. I also used to use it as a media server with a web front end at one point | 04:00 |
| snap- | when in the -rbash shell, you can't specify '/' in command names | 04:01 |
| j-3-r-g_ | snap why your not on your own box | 04:01 |
| powertool08 | faileas: Media server? So you could sort/categorize/search your media through a webpage? | 04:01 |
| Hammerjak | snap-: even when you put the '.' before the '/' ? | 04:01 |
| snap- | yeah | 04:01 |
| greezmunkey | anyone know of a good ip subnet calculator (pref gui) for linux? | 04:02 |
| powertool08 | faileas: What kind of info do you put on your wiki? | 04:02 |
| snap- | there are tricks for using vi or sendmail to break out of restricted shells | 04:03 |
| snap- | but i don't know how to even run them | 04:03 |
| snap- | without being able to use the / | 04:03 |
| j-3-r-g_ | greezmunkey - 192.168.1.0, 10.0.0.0 and there is another thats less known that default on XP | 04:04 |
| j-3-r-g_ | if im not mistaken | 04:04 |
| j-3-r-g_ | like what Ricky Bobby said: "Learn to work the google machine" | 04:04 |
| j-3-r-g_ | lol | 04:05 |
| j-3-r-g_ | oh yea and those are for ipv4 | 04:05 |

| Lady_Enigma | what linux kernel is used in 8.04.3, please? | 04:06 |
| j-3-r-g_ | oh my bad | 04:06 |

| Lady_Enigma | thank you! | 04:09 |
| j-3-r-g_ | np | 04:09 |
| jrib | snap-: why do you want to do this? | 04:09 |
| ms308680 | would there be anyone here that has experience setting up sogo open source groupware? | 04:10 |
| jrib | ms308680: it's best to just ask your question | 04:10 |
| snap- | jrib: who likes being restricted? | 04:10 |
| snap- | =p | 04:10 |
| ms308680 | Is there any detailed documentation that anyone knows of for setting up sogo? | 04:11 |
| jrib | snap-: I just don't see a use-case, if you don't want to be in rbash, don't run rbash | 04:11 |
| j-3-r-g_ | snap - do you have physical access to the box? | 04:11 |
| snap- | no physical access | 04:11 |
| snap- | ssh | 04:11 |
| snap- | being in rbash wasn't my decision | 04:11 |
| jrib | snap-: then speak to the person whose decision it was | 04:11 |
| snap- | not possible | 04:11 |

| adamonline45 | Hello! I'm installing 9.10 server, and the install is stopping at a screen titled "[!] Ubuntu installer main menu" and the option "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" is highlighted...

Any ideas? | 04:12 |
| MrPockets | okay | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | wtf | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | man | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | MAN! | 04:13 |
| FloodBot3 | MrPockets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:13 |
| jrib | MrPockets: stop please | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | /etc/motd keeps revertin | 04:13 |
| nonexks | if i run live cd on my laptop will that let me know if all the drivers are avalible ? | 04:13 |
| MrPockets | edited /etc/default/rcS and added EDITMOTD=no | 04:13 |
| iflema | at least im not braodcasting status messages | 04:14 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: what do you mean? | 04:14 |
| snap- | so, back to my question. does anyone know of ways to spawn a new shell other than running /bin/sh | 04:15 |
| brummbaer | snap: /bin/bash? :P | 04:15 |
| balazs00 | hi! i need help about energy saving! (turn off lcd, when i close the lid) [ubuntu 9.10] | 04:15 |
| nonexks | Hammerjak: well i have a ton of drivers needed to run all the hardware on this laptop and i dont know if linux will work on it | 04:15 |
| jrib | brummbaer: well it would have to be "bash" | 04:15 |
| lakota | man this is so annoying! I have tried more than 10 of my DVD movies even after installing ubuntu restricted extras and ogle player and I always get an error about libdvdcss and the ogle player is suppose to have that. none of my dvd players can play a dvd. what is the point of creating dvd player software that cant play a dvd? | 04:16 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: ah, yeah, if the live cd works fine, the install will use the same drivers | 04:16 |
| powertool08 | snap-: If you aren't locked out, maybe you could set a cronjob? | 04:16 |
| jrib | !dvd | lakota | 04:16 |
| ubottu | lakota: 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 | 04:16 |
| jrib | lakota: dvdcss is not the same as ogle | 04:16 |
| nonexks | Hammerjak: so how would i make a list of everthing i will need ? | 04:16 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: whatever drivers the live cd decides to use should be the same that the installed version will use | 04:17 |
| brummbaer | balazs00: check power management section, option to set what happens when closing screen | 04:17 |
| Hammerjak | you won't have to choose anything | 04:17 |
| lakota | but why cant a DVD player software play a dvd? | 04:17 |
| brummbaer | balazs00: for in depth power saving config, check the cpu-freq gnome-applet, and the app called powertop | 04:17 |
| mdeonte | hi | 04:18 |
| jrib | lakota: it can. However, your dvd's are encumbered with drm. To view them you have to install dvdcss. Just follow ubottu's link | 04:18 |
| kinja-sheep | lakota: "Legal Warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area. " | 04:18 |
| powertool08 | snap-: Symlink/alias bash to rbash and start rbash? | 04:18 |
| nonexks | so a nother question ... i have used ubuntu but its not quite as graphicly pleasing ... what could i use to change this | 04:18 |
| lakota | k | 04:19 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: you can use a less graphically-intensive window manager like xfce | 04:19 |
| === b0w is now known as zz_b0w | ||
| Hammerjak | nonexks: that is, instal Xubuntu rather than plain Ubuntu | 04:19 |
| Hammerjak | or did i misinterpret that... do you want *more* pleasing graphics? | 04:19 |
| brummbaer | nonexks: more eyecandy > compiz, less eyecandy > XFCE / Openbox, etc. | 04:19 |
| nonexks | compiz | 04:20 |
| nonexks | nice | 04:20 |
| nonexks | i want more | 04:20 |
| Hammerjak | ah, yeah, compiz | 04:20 |
| nonexks | very powerfull pc's ... one media box and one is media/ work | 04:20 |
| Hammerjak | do you have ubuntu already installed? | 04:20 |
| Flare-Laptop | !who | Hammerjak | 04:20 |
| ubottu | Hammerjak: 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 :) | 04:20 |
| Hilikus | is it possible to configure amarok to intercept key presses before X? i want to have a single key that opens amarok if amarok is closed but plays/pauses if it is open. i configured ubuntu to open amarok with that key and configured amarok to use that key for play/pause but amarok doesn't take it | 04:21 |
| nonexks | i have ubuntu on a few systems but the os of the two im going to change are vista and xp 64bit | 04:21 |
| Hilikus | so i guess its because gdm or X or whoever is intercepting it befire it gets to amarok | 04:21 |
| Flare-Laptop | Hilikus: That's because amarok is for KDE/Kubuntu | 04:21 |
| Maletor_ | I have a question kind of off topic but I think it's relatively simple. I have a Vizio. What's the best way to manage the audio? I want to have my HTPC plug in via HDMI then have the TV output optical to my receiver? Can TVs do that? | 04:21 |
| Hilikus | Flare-Laptop: so? | 04:21 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: once ubuntu is installed, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, then 'Visual Effects' tab and choose "extra" | 04:21 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: that will enable compiz | 04:21 |
| jtaji | Maletor: most do | 04:22 |
| nonexks | oh nice ... will that work on live cd | 04:22 |
| kinja-sheep | Flare-Laptop: It does not matter if it's for KDE. An application is an application. | 04:22 |
| quintin_ | no sound on new laptop, plz help plz. audio hardware is recognized | 04:22 |
| Flare-Laptop | hikenboot: so it won't work. Its using a different interface with X | 04:22 |
| quintin_ | IBM T60 | 04:22 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: I've got the same laptop, and audio works fine with it. | 04:22 |
| Hilikus | Flare-Laptop: it does work if i dont use it as a shortcut in the system | 04:22 |
| brummbaer | kinja-sheep: if amarok has a cli client comparable to rhythmbox-client, you should be able to pair keys to commands with xbindkeys | 04:23 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: that depends on what video driver the live cd chooses, typically you have to install Ubuntu and on the first boot it will ask if you want to use a "restricted" driver | 04:23 |
| JunTao1 | is there an application similar to Quickbooks on linux? | 04:23 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: the restricted driver will support 3d rendering | 04:23 |
| Hilikus | brummbaer: me? | 04:23 |
| kain_ | hi all, i've got an external drive connected and mounted, but i don't have the rights to write, or execute, only read, how do i change this? the format is NTFS | 04:23 |
| brummbaer | Hilikus: bwuh? | 04:23 |
| nonexks | so when asked i DO want restricted driver for good graphics | 04:23 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: yep :) | 04:23 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: what version are you running? I am using whatever latest is. no audio output | 04:24 |
| Flare-Laptop | JunTao1: Yup, its called gnucash | 04:24 |
| mimiBadger | Anyone here knows how to bring up a netrek server? | 04:24 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: I'm using Karmic | 04:24 |
| quintin_ | JunTao1: google linux accounting software? there are many double entry bookkeeping systems for linux. I tried one for about 1 month and got bored | 04:24 |
| nonexks | Hammerjak: so i tryed to install ubuntu on this notebook a while back and it never worked ... do you know of any bios issues that would cause this | 04:25 |
| quintin_ | but then again I play poker for a living and am not good at money handling sutffs heh :P | 04:25 |
| iKernel | I think quicken runs quite well under wine | 04:25 |
| iKernel | quintin_, you must be pretty good then | 04:25 |
| quintin_ | quicken isn't really DEBK though. well it is, but it hides it from you like | 04:25 |
| quintin_ | iKernel: yes. but you don't have to be that good to beat $1/$2 and $2/$5 | 04:25 |
| Hammerjak | nonexks: sorry, no, there are lots of things that can go wrong with laptop drivers, can't help you there | 04:25 |
| brummbaer | JunTao1: a great place to check for these types of 'equivalency' questions is http://linuxalt.com , there's generally many applications for a purpose. | 04:25 |
| felixmori7 | help | 04:25 |
| adamonline45 | What do I need to run the live cd? I have the alt and the amd64 versions burned, but no option for it... | 04:25 |
| nonexks | Hammerjak: ok thank you very much | 04:25 |
| novato_br | Why don't we require the manufacturers Linux drivers? We should make a list of demands. | 04:26 |
| quintin_ | yea, there are several cool sites I've found that showcase alternative softwares. Pretty cool sites | 04:26 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: trying doing this in the terminal: sudo modproble snd_hda_intel | 04:26 |
| Flare-Laptop | !ask | felipe_ | 04:26 |
| ubottu | felipe_: 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. :-) | 04:26 |
| Flare-Laptop | oops | 04:26 |

| FloodBot3 | Flare-Laptop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:26 |
| * Flare-Laptop knows this | 04:26 | |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: ok.. though I'd think driver is already loaded since alsamixer shows hw | 04:26 |
| novato_br | unfortunately, there are so few manufacturers worried with linux drivers. | 04:26 |
| nonexks | well i guess its time to try the live cd again | 04:26 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: I'm not sure. But there's not hurt in trying | 04:27 |
| quintin_ | Hey, grep auto hilites how huh? neat | 04:27 |
| nonexks | oh one more question ... ubuntu or Xubuntu | 04:27 |
| Hammerjak | adamonline45: you have to tell your computer to boot from cd | 04:27 |
| === cail is now known as Guest7331 | ||
| Hammerjak | nonexks: ubuntu, Xubuntu is if you have a really old system | 04:27 |
| fishneck | hi! | 04:27 |
| quintin_ | I have been using windoze for like almost 8 months cause it was on the pc I pulled out of storage D: | 04:27 |
| adamonline45 | Hammerjak: Thanks, I got that far :) I just don't see the option for it in the CD's menu... | 04:27 |
| Flare-Laptop | !hi | fishneck | 04:27 |
| ubottu | fishneck: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 04:27 |
| burzki | novato_br, what, all three of us .. ? | 04:27 |

| nonexks | so ubuntu 9.10 is the best version ? | 04:28 |
| fishneck | aww okay kewl | 04:28 |
| henryhammond | Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial on how to set up a wireless router on ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| quintin_ | hey it seems there is now some good auto coloring stuff with ls. yay | 04:28 |
| === Guest7331 is now known as Liang99 | ||
| Hammerjak | nonexks: ubuntu 9.10 is the current version, it's up to you if that's the 'best' :) | 04:29 |
| quintin_ | How come "examples" in my home folder isn't a pretty looking link? It's just a generic white page icon | 04:29 |
| adamonline45 | Hammerjak: I see Install, Check Disc, Test memory, boot from first hard disk, and rescue a broken system | 04:29 |
| === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| brummbaer | henryhammond: do you mean connect to a wireless network? or configure a wireless router. cuz second option is same as anything else: connect to the router through your browser. | 04:29 |
| nonexks | ok well im off ..thanks | 04:29 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer configure the network adapter, i downloaded drivers for windows and for linux, and i just cant get it to work | 04:30 |
| crazy2be | allright, so i set up ubuntu server. Today, i did a sudo apt-get install links, so that i could try and figure out what to do with it. Upon opening links, however, something crashed, and it started a maintenance shell. Upon rebooting, i can no longer access the internet at all, and i don't know what i should do... | 04:30 |
| Hammerjak | adamonline45: if you choose 'install' it should boot the live cd, you don't have to run the installer | 04:30 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond, do you know what type of wireless adapter it is? | 04:30 |
| FarmCretin | Hi, i have ubuntu server running on a dell with integrated graphics and no monitor. ive been using it through ssh for over a year, and id like to add graphical option. what can i do? | 04:31 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer wusb54gc ver3 | 04:31 |
| adamonline45 | Hammerjak: Nope, I've installed numerous times today and never gotten into any like cd anything... it just goes to the gui (ascii) installer... | 04:31 |
| henryhammond | by linksys | 04:31 |
| lakota | Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 04:31 |
| lakota | none of the sites are helping | 04:32 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: Do you have fingerprint scanner working? | 04:32 |
| Hammerjak | adamonline45: it probably has a problem detecting your video card or something then.... i don't know | 04:32 |
| adamonline45 | Hammerjak: hmm, k, thanks anyway... | 04:32 |
| paddy_melon | FarmCretin... you could install gdm and VNC in | 04:32 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Mine didn't come with it. | 04:32 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: if you run ifconfig do you see the device? | 04:32 |
| tawd | quintin_ mine doesn't either, but it still contains all the correct contents anyways | 04:32 |
| ejwaxx | lakota: try this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories | 04:33 |
| paddy_melon | eg. sudo apt-get install gdm | 04:33 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: What is in yours? I'm very sad about my screen.. only XGA. | 04:33 |
| Hammerjak | FarmCretin: you can ssh with X forwarding... ssh -X | 04:33 |
| Xfact | how many tests 'memtest' runs??/ It's very long and (boring) process! | 04:33 |
| quintin_ | tawd: wat was last message re:? | 04:33 |
| trollboy | what's a good ubuntu app for issuing at commands to a modem? minicom is crashing for me | 04:33 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Mines awesome. Its VGA too | 04:33 |
| tawd | quintin_ about the examples folder not looking like a folder | 04:33 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: I can use compiz on it too :D | 04:33 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: mine is 2.0ghz c2d, 4m cache 1g ram 100g hdd 128m discrete gfx. not sure if it has the evdo card in it or not. paid $130 for it with no battery yesterday | 04:33 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer: Im not sure how i would know that (noob to linux world), but there is nothing that seems to look like it | 04:34 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: My got tea spilt on it and it still works :P | 04:34 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: xga you mean? 1024x768? I am going to look around for a 1400x1050 monitor for mine, if I decide to keep it instead of reselling. man it's pretty cool to have a linux laptop that suspend works on though. I accidentally closed lid and was a bit tickled when I opened it and everything came back | 04:34 |
| Flare-Laptop | No sound and it overheats tho :( | 04:34 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: haha Yup | 04:34 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: there is supposed to be a membrane under keyboard tha troutes liquid out of device. I've thought about spilling water on mine.. | 04:35 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: if you type ifconfig in terminal (applications > accessories > terminal), you should see either a eth1 or wlan0, something like that... | 04:35 |
| quintin_ | tawd: oh yea :) | 04:35 |
| Flare-Laptop | :O really? | 04:35 |
| Flare-Laptop | I didn't know that | 04:35 |
| lakota | ejwaxx, hey that may have worked! soon as it was done my updates poped up and is updating mplayer and lib files. lets hope this fixed it | 04:35 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Even if it gets on the heatsink? | 04:35 |
| quintin_ | yea. read it when I was googling for info and came across reviews. also option for 2nd minipci slot is an over the air broadband card. haven't looked to see if mine has one in it | 04:35 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer i see Link encap:Ethernet and before that i see eth0 | 04:36 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: well the membrane is under the keyboard, so it shouldn't get that far in theory I guess. I haven't taken it apart to see how it all looks | 04:36 |
| FarmCretin | Hammerjak: the vnc client would be windows | 04:36 |
| y6i | What does this mean, anyone?: | 04:36 |
| y6i | The file /blah/blah/ has been modified since reading it. | 04:36 |
| y6i | If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway? | 04:36 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Well I've got the hardware parts list pdf if you wnat it | 04:36 |
| Flare-Laptop | want* | 04:36 |
| Hammerjak | FarmCretin: that's all well and good if you're ssh'ing from a windows box, I didn't know :) | 04:37 |
| Flare-Laptop | y6i: Means that the file has been changed while you were reading it | 04:37 |
| quintin_ | y6i: another program or person modified that file while it was in your editor's buffer | 04:37 |
| FarmCretin | i know, i appreciated the help all the same | 04:37 |
| FFForever | Whats the difference from Ubuntu One and DropBox?, besides Ubuntu One shipping by default | 04:37 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: what if you try 'lspci | grep -e Linksys' ? | 04:37 |
| Flare-Laptop | FFForever: I've got both, and the only difference is the bandwidth usage | 04:38 |
| dsnyders | I want to build a new machine, but all the new motherboard, chipset, and cpu options are bewildering. Anybody got a link to a good website? | 04:38 |
| quintin_ | ok, I turned on "beep" in alsamixer, and now I have sound!! | 04:38 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: online forums are saying that version three requires custom compilation and module loading, but i'm still looking for details, k? | 04:38 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: :O WOOT | 04:38 |
| acovrig | how can I do (open new tab in firefox and open "url") via ssh? | 04:38 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: So do your volume buttons work? mine do.. but it seems... the volume buttons affect IBM hardware, and when you push them it's not a signal to OS? | 04:38 |
| FFForever | Flannel, like wise, but db has multi os so its better imo, whats your opinion on them? | 04:38 |
| quintin_ | I love me some thinklights | 04:39 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Yup, but like my sound is separate from the OS :( | 04:39 |
| FFForever | Is there selective file sync in one? | 04:39 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer okay, i tried looking, and i found some that said use ndsiwrapper, some that said to download something from ralink and change it, but i could never find the data to change, ive been trying to two days | 04:39 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: I'm so glad I found this deal... cause I was about to drop $400 on a 17" dell | 04:39 |
| Hammerjak | dsnyders: tomshardware.com, newegg.com ? | 04:39 |
| lakota | now totem movie player is frozen and still no movie :( | 04:39 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: haha Ubuntu ftw! | 04:39 |
| Flare-Laptop | FFForever: I like Ubuntu one better because I love Ubuntu :P | 04:40 |
| switch10 | acovrig: just use the "lynx" terminal browser | 04:40 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: ah yea ok you get what I'm saying then. other laptops the volume buttons have been linked to OS sound. Wonder if there is anything to make that happen | 04:40 |
| quintin_ | I'm so happy to be back in linux instead of windoze :P | 04:40 |
| tawd | how do people chat in the terminal? | 04:40 |
| Aquaraptor | irssi | 04:40 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Well it used to do that in 9.04 but not in Karmic | 04:40 |
| quintin_ | tawd: a terminal irc client ... I am using irssi. | 04:40 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: i totally sympathize, i spent several days working on cobbling together a decent conexant driver for karmic w/o having to pay linuxant for the unlocked driver. :) | 04:40 |
| acovrig | switch10, the user is running firefox on display=:0.0, can I use ssh to open a new tab & open a url? | 04:40 |
| tawd | quintin_ thanks :) | 04:40 |
| acovrig | onto display 0.0 | 04:41 |
| Quan-Time | i have a RS232 -> USB converter, how can i check its installed properly ? i THINK its FTDI chipset.. can it be listed in my usb devices ? ideas ? | 04:41 |
| switch10 | acovrig: i dont know how to do it | 04:41 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: did you upgrade, or clean install? back in the dark ages, like version 6 and such, I always had to do clean intall... upgrades left too much cruft | 04:41 |
| Flare-Laptop | acovrig: you could just vnc to the machine | 04:41 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Upgrade | 04:41 |
| acovrig | like "firefox --display=:0.0 --url="http://www.google.com"" | 04:41 |
| quintin_ | I'm sad this laptop doesn't feel much "faster" than other machines. meh. | 04:41 |
| acovrig | Flare-Laptop, how do I setup vnc to not give a notifycation? | 04:42 |
| henryhammond | brummbaer: I entered that command, and nothing showed up, but i got no erroor | 04:42 |
| Flare-Laptop | acovrig: install x11vnc :p | 04:42 |
| acovrig | apt-get x11vnc? | 04:42 |
| kain_ | hi all, what is the syntax for mount a ntfs partition with permissions read-write-execute to put in the fstab? | 04:42 |
| y6i | is there ANY way at all, in the world, possibly, to get your root password from a box you cant log into? | 04:42 |
| Flare-Laptop | acovrig: yup | 04:42 |
| Flare-Laptop | y6i: no | 04:43 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: woot! installed fprint_demo and I can scan fingerprints. doesn't show images though =( | 04:43 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: you can install ntfs-config and you'll have a nice simple gui that does it for you :) | 04:43 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: Nice | 04:43 |
| Xfact | well, we've decided to buy a dell alienware Arena 51 ALX gaming PC which have 12 GB ram, 3.86 GHz intel i7 processor, 2 GB ATi GPU and all others..Which ubuntu version is capable and will run stable in this hardware...? Suggest please...... | 04:43 |
| Xfact | It's should also run games nicely.... | 04:43 |
| kain_ | Hammerjak, : will this erase the lines i manually put in the fstab? | 04:43 |
| y6i | from someone who's not Flare-Laptop | 04:43 |
| Flare-Laptop | quintin_: My sound died when the tea got in it. But the headphone jack still works :) | 04:43 |
| Quan-Time | Xfact: umm. 9.10 karmic x64 ? | 04:43 |
| Hammerjak | no, but if you want to hand-edit fstab i'll paste my ntfs line for you | 04:43 |
| blakkheim | Xfact: avoid ati if you want to use linux | 04:43 |
| acovrig | then de-check the vnc option in the Remote Control (something like that) in the GUI? | 04:44 |
| Flare-Laptop | >.> | 04:44 |
| adamonline45 | so, an x86-64 would use the amd64 install, no? | 04:44 |
| Quan-Time | yer. ati will work, but cause issues. | 04:44 |
| Xfact | blakkheim: but it only serving ATI graphic cards...:( | 04:44 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: /dev/<YOUR DRIVE> /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 04:44 |
| Quan-Time | adamonline45: it covers x86 archatecture, 64bit | 04:44 |
| switch10 | Xfact: you have a gaming PC running Linux? | 04:44 |
| brummbaer | henryhammond: that could mean that it's not seeing it at all or not seeing it as Linksys; if you search through the output from 'lspci', is there anything that looks like it? you may also try unplugging it then plugging it back in, then checking dmesg | 04:44 |
| quintin_ | Flare-Laptop: I noticed during install this version asks out of box if you would lik eyour homedir encrypted. pretty cool. esp. since when I got this laptop it had a file on it called "Passwords.docx". guess what contents were :P | 04:44 |
| Xfact | Quan-Time: 64 bit doesn't support many apps and some games :( | 04:45 |
| y6i | is there ANY way at all, in the world, possibly, to get your root password from a box you cant log into? | 04:45 |
| adamonline45 | Quan-Time: That's what I thought... just trying to eliminate potential issues here... thanks :) | 04:45 |
| Xfact | switch10: no, never before.... | 04:45 |

| Hammerjak | kain_: yes. | 04:45 |
| nightsjammies | Hey who is good with the open office spreadsheet program? | 04:45 |
| powertool08 | y6i: If you have physical access to it, then yes, tons of ways. | 04:45 |
| nightsjammies | or is there a forum for that? | 04:45 |
| Quan-Time | y6i: i think you can reset it with a liveCD.. but honestly not sure. would have to investigate that | 04:45 |
| kain_ | Hammerjak : ok i'll try thanks | 04:45 |
| nightsjammies | room, I mean | 04:45 |
| FFForever | I disabled the notification application... how can i get my pidgin menu bar icon back?? | 04:46 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: add that line rather than installing ntfs-config... i wasn't sure how confident you were to hand-edit fstab :) | 04:46 |
| y6i | powertool08: how? | 04:46 |
| tritium | y6i: are you sure you unlocked the root account on that machine, or are you referring to your user account? | 04:46 |

| brummbaer | henryhammond: dammit i'm an idiot, i'm sorry; i'm used to doing this for internal ports, can you try lsusb instead of lspci? | 04:46 |
| Xfact | So guys, should I use Ubuntu in that Alienware or I have to use that preloaded windows 7 (which taking lots money) in it...:( (I hate windows) | 04:46 |
| tritium | y6i: that machine is running Ubuntu? Which account are you trying to login with? A user account? | 04:47 |
| blakkheim | Xfact: build your own system and use nvidia, much better for linux | 04:47 |
| Quan-Time | Xfact: taking "lots of money" ? err.. its not THAT expensive compared to the system.. OEM is fairly cheap. | 04:47 |
| powertool08 | y6i: as Quan-Time suggested, livecd is probably easiest, boot it up, mount the root partition and delete the hash in /etc/passwd and the shadow file. | 04:47 |

| Xfact | lol | 04:48 |
| rudra | anyone to anwer me | 04:48 |
| dsnyders | Xfact, Install Linux, and use Windows in a virtual machine. After all, you've paid for it. No sense it going completely to waste. | 04:48 |
| Quan-Time | switch10: umm.. steam is... ok.. know how the ubuntu repository works ? its like that for games.. Steam is the valve "program" which auto updates games for you.. Its fairly slick if your into that sorta thing.. Half life2 stuff.. and heaps of others. | 04:48 |
| rudra | how to create desktop shortcut from application menu xubuntu | 04:48 |

| ubottu | trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 04:49 |
| Quan-Time | Xfact: look up "cedega" by transgaming.. it COSTS MONEY.. to play games on linux (well). so your crap outta luck in that respect... wine is a good alternative.. WINE = Windows application layer (NOT an emulator) | 04:49 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 04:49 |
| kain_ | Hammerjak : what does ntfs-3g do exactly? | 04:50 |
| Quan-Time | kain_: it enables NTFS partition writing | 04:50 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: it is the drivers that allow linux to 'talk' ntfs | 04:50 |
| Quan-Time | i use it.. works well | 04:50 |

| Hammerjak | josh99: just ask your question :) | 04:57 |
| y6i | tritium: select grub right? then what? | 04:57 |
| Quan-Time | kain_: ntfs-3g is like a "driver" for hardware.. Because the hdd partition is NTFS, its treated as a seperate piece of "hardware". the 3g driver helps you install (mount) the part so you can interact with it properly (this isnt exactly true, but it helps explain it) | 04:57 |
| josh99 | Despite my craftiest attempts to remove the cursor from a table cell without activating autocorrect, it consistently replaces my simple 4-digit time with a 15 digit version. | 04:57 |

| tritium | y6i: move the arrow key down to the recovery mode of the most recent kernel version, and hit the Enter key, and it will boot into single-user mode. | 05:00 |
| Hammerjak | kain_: putting it in your fstab will auto-mount without needing to be root.... if you turn the hdd on after ubuntu boots... i don't know how to get around that :) | 05:00 |
| y6i | im in single user mode | 05:00 |

| powertool08 | kain_: Are you using gnome? you should be able to find your device in nautilus and just click it to mount. | 05:20 |
| chu | Yeah sure, write a bash script, give it admin privs (mmm, may have to hardcode sudo password? or execute the script as sudo), and add it to start-up application | 05:20 |

| y6i | tritium: i tried that | 05:29 |
| tritium | y6i: well, you should be all set | 05:30 |
| ejwaxx | psvasti: you can get the package gmountiso from synaptic -- it works a lot like poweriso in windows | 05:30 |
| kinja-sheep | psvasti: Mount an ISO? Right-click the file and Mount. | 05:30 |
| psvasti | ok thanks guys | 05:30 |
| y6i | tritium: this time i ran my hand accross the computer and it brought up a verbose dialogue of what the computer was doing | 05:30 |
| y6i | tritium: i mean i ran my hand accross the keyboard | 05:31 |
| lucas1 | Hey Frank. | 05:31 |
| powertool08 | y6i: That's normal, you just exited the fancy splash screen. | 05:31 |

| shadowimmage | hello, I've just installed WindowsXP on my secondary hard drive (not by choice, but by necessity of my university) when my linux drive was not installed in the computer (thinkpad T60 w/ultrabay secondary drive). What I'm trying to do, is update grub (grub2, I think) so that it will ask me which OS I want to startup at boot time. | 05:35 |
| powertool08 | y6i: try ctrl+alt+sys req + r + e + i + s + u + b The letters can be pressed one after another not all at once. It should reboot. | 05:36 |
| Jef91 | shadowimmage: run "sudo update grub" in terminal | 05:36 |
| Jef91 | shadowimmage: It should find all installed OSes on drives attached to the system and add them to the grub menu. | 05:36 |
| y6i | powertool08: i've already rebooted though. same deal. | 05:36 |
| Jef91 | shadowimmage: Also, tell your uni they are a bunch of pricks for requiring windows | 05:37 |
| powertool08 | y6i: Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring helps to remember this. | 05:37 |
| powertool08 | y6i: rebooted after it crashed and it crashed in the same place? | 05:37 |
| Sleepnbum | lol | 05:37 |
| y6i | now its moving again! | 05:37 |
| tawd | :) | 05:38 |
| iOmlette | Moving is good. | 05:38 |
| shadowimmage | Jef91, is it "update grub" or "update-grub" (also, neither work "sudo: command not found") | 05:38 |
| Jef91 | shaodwimmage try grub update | 05:38 |
| Jef91 | shadowimmage the command is: sudo update-grub | 05:39 |
| Jef91 | shadowimmage - note this only works if you have grub2, so 9.10 or 10.04 | 05:39 |
| Losha | Jef91: actually, update-grub also works with grub1 in 8.04 | 05:40 |
| Jef91 | Losha: Good to know, I never dual booted before 9.10 | 05:40 |
| lin00b | how ho decrypt a folder which was encrypted in other ubntu system ? | 05:41 |

| shadowimmage | ok, so I got grub to do it's update thing... but it didn't find windows | 05:47 |
| lin00b | I need it for saving fine in /var/www | 05:47 |
| lin00b | from file manager | 05:47 |
| Guest30261 | im using ubuntu karmic and am running vista in virtualbox, how do i get the ports to work for the virtual vista | 05:47 |
| lin00b | sudo works in terminal .. | 05:47 |
| rameez | lin00b: why don't you use sudo | 05:47 |
| K3rmit | jukebox-zero hmmm ok thanks | 05:47 |
| lin00b | but for filemanager sudo wont work in filemanager | 05:48 |
| Guest30261 | i need to do some work on an iphone using windows software so i really need the ports | 05:48 |
| lin00b | I need to edit file in gedit instead of nano in terminal | 05:48 |
| arand | lin00b: what is it exactly you're trying to do? | 05:48 |
| powertool08 | lin00b: try gksudo gedit | 05:48 |
| iOmlette | lin00b: Run 'sudo gedit <file>' in terminal, or just 'sudo gedit' | 05:49 |
| Kieran0413 | lin00b, gksudo gedit or just launch nautilus via gksudo | 05:49 |
| lin00b | ok..but I cannot alter files in /var/www/ from filemanager | 05:49 |
| td123 | lin00b: right | 05:49 |
| td123 | lin00b: cd into that folder, and type gksudo gedit file/youwanttoedit | 05:50 |
| arand | Kieran0413: lin00b: launching nautilus (file manager) with gksudo can be done, but is dicouraged due to the risk of messing things up big | 05:50 |
| faileas | lin00b: /var/www belongs to www-data - you either need to add yourself to its group, or use sudo mv to move it, then chown it back to www-data | 05:50 |
| lin00b | @td123.. I can edit it that way..but using a gui will make things easier for me | 05:50 |
| === Guest30261 is now known as jay | ||

| lin00b | @faileas...thanks...can I chown a folder for two users ? | 05:51 |
| Kieran0413 | arand, fair enough, I'll avoid mentioning it again then. thinking about it, it was probably a bad idea :) | 05:51 |
| lhommedangereux | i need to enable ports with vista on virtual box can some please help | 05:51 |
| jschall | lin00b: you can type gksu nautilus, gksu gedit in a terminal, run dialog (alt+f2), or make a link to them on your desktop, panel or main menu. Remember that the root user can SERIOUSLY cause damage if you mess with the wrong files, though. | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest30261, i assume you mean USB ports? for USB you can't use VBox OSE version (the one in Ubuntu repo) you need to either download the DEB or add Sun's repo for the PEUL version see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 05:51 |
| td123 | lin00b: ? you chown a folder for a user/group so no | 05:51 |
| faileas | lin00b: no. i think you can use chmod (something) alternately. i can't remember the 'right' way to tho | 05:51 |
| powertool08 | faileas: What kind of info do you put on your wiki? | 05:51 |
| jukebox-zero | Does anyone know what the equivalent of /etc/modprobe.d/aliases is in 9.10? The official ubuntu docs still direct me there, and in 9.10 it doesn't exist. I need to disable IPv6, it always screws up my internet. | 05:51 |
| rameez | lin00b: not chowning to two users... you can add the users to the concerned group] | 05:51 |
| faileas | lhommedangereux: try asling the virtualbox channel | 05:51 |
| faileas | powertool08: oh, just what apps i use for various things, some command line stuff that i need once a century or so... | 05:52 |
| jschall | on my box /var/www belongs to root:root | 05:52 |
| bleepbloop | I have a spare computer and I want to try out another linux distro on it (it's a PowerPC imac), and so far I've been thinking of trying openSUSE or Debian 5.0, are those both good or are there any others that I should try first? | 05:52 |
| jschall | for some reason | 05:52 |
| lin00b | ok.. can I change it to apache:apache also ? | 05:52 |
| bleepbloop | I should also mention I'm a huge noob when it comes to linux and stuff | 05:53 |
| powertool08 | faileas: Ah, thanks for the ideas :) | 05:53 |
| faileas | bleepbloop: well.. debian is similar to ubuntu ;p | 05:53 |
| bleepbloop | similar but not the same thing | 05:53 |
| lin00b | ubuntu is similar to debian :D | 05:53 |
| rameez | <lin00b> :: You should be able to change to apache:apache if the user and group is existing. | 05:53 |
| Kieran0413 | bleepbloop, there is/was an unofficial build of Ubuntu for PPC? Been a while since I've bothered with PPC stuff though | 05:53 |
| bleepbloop | and I've heard its learning curve is higher than ubuntu's so what better way to learn more than diving right in? | 05:54 |
| faileas | powertool08: its especially good with the windows boxen i support. i install a crapload of additional software and i can never remember all of it. least with ubuntu i got the package manager to jog my memory ;) | 05:54 |
| faileas | lol | 05:54 |
| lin00b | @rameez..thanks mate..I will get some knowledge of groups | 05:54 |
| faileas | bleepbloop: ubuntu is a debian derivative | 05:54 |
| faileas | bleepbloop: in short, most basics are the same, and most apps work in both | 05:54 |
| bleepbloop | Kieran0413: I already have ubuntu on a computer, I just wanted to try out a different one | 05:54 |
| bleepbloop | different linux distro that is | 05:54 |
| Kieran0413 | bleepbloop, ahh ok :) | 05:54 |
| powertool08 | bleepbloop: I like Arch linux myself, if you're comfy with the command line its a breeze, if you're terrified of it then don't | 05:55 |

| lin00b | @jschall :thanks.. I think thats what I need..thanks | 05:58 |
| Michelle_ | Faileas: I set it up the way it's supposed to be :S Even if that didn't work I'd just let it do the partitioning automatically in the install, still no luck. | 05:58 |
| Michelle_ | Faileas: Same output | 05:58 |
| jschall | lin00b: then you need to log out and log back in for the group join to take effect | 05:58 |
| faileas | more seriously though, i'd suggest picking a distro, and building up a box with just what you need from ground up. i learnt a load from that | 05:58 |
| powertool08 | bleepbloop: Slackware is good for that. Not very noob friendly but if you can successfully run slackware, you can handle any distro. | 05:58 |
| jukebox-zero | Is there a way to change the computer name after installation? I just sped through it at install thinking I could change it later. I swear I've seen a dialog at some point to edit that. Not finding it for the life of me. | 05:58 |
| faileas | Michelle_: hmm, some more info would help. is this a unetbootin, ubuntu usb installer, or a full install? | 05:58 |
| Guest86708 | anyone got any ideas on how to get this pci wireless card working | 05:58 |
| bleepbloop | what about Minix? | 05:58 |
| Michelle_ | faileas: A full install from a live cd | 05:59 |
| arand | bleepbloop: in that case, go for a distro which is flaky and try to figure out all the problems, then when everything works as it should, move on ;) | 05:59 |
| Michelle_ | Faileas: I need a persistent install | 05:59 |
| powertool08 | bleepbloop: Never used it, sorry. | 05:59 |
| bleepbloop | I've heard thats geared towards helping people learn how to use the system | 05:59 |
| faileas | Michelle_: well, it looks like a normal install where something is off | 05:59 |
| faileas | ack | 05:59 |
| faileas | gotta go | 05:59 |
| dekenx | bleepbloop: u mean Mint or Minix | 05:59 |
| Kieran0413 | jukebox-zero, /etc/hostname | 05:59 |
| Michelle_ | Funny thing is that it doesn't tell me what, where or how it is going wrong, maybe if I were a computer or had a degree in computer science or something would I know what's wrong | 05:59 |
| bleepbloop | dekenx: Minix | 05:59 |
| dekenx | bleepbloop: oh ok that's a diffent story | 06:00 |
| jukebox-zero | kieran0413: Thanks. | 06:00 |
| valindil89 | bleepbloop, Ubuntu is a great linux all around. If you want to learn linux jump into it. start playing around with ubuntu in the command line. the ubuntu wiki has loads of information. | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | jukebox-zero: be extremely careful when changing hostnames | 06:00 |
| lstarnes | jukebox-zero: add the new entry in /etc/hosts first | 06:00 |
| jellow | jukebox-zero: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname change both | 06:01 |
| jschall | hehe, check out my webserver at http://jon.pmtech.com | 06:01 |
| powertool08 | bleepbloop: There's always gentoo ;) Great documentation, but chances are you won't understand half of what you're running in the terminal until much later. | 06:01 |
| lstarnes | jukebox-zero: but do not remove the old entry until after you update /etc/hostname | 06:01 |
| syntaxman | I have backups of my / and /home partitions, but my homedir was ecrypted as part of the installation. I need to mount in manually, but where would I find the keyring/passphrase file? | 06:01 |

| scunizi | Jonhnnyboy: if you have vbox for running ubuntu 8 gigs. but don't plan on audio/vidio storage.. | 06:15 |
| dekenx | Guest46625: why can't you boot into ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| Jonhnnyboy | brous-kee: fix RAM? | 06:15 |

| jojuji | hey guys, is there a way to see my fan speed and cpu temp in ubuntu 9.10 running on a macbook pro? thanks | 06:16 |
| dekenx | mount the Linux partition, login to it, reinstall and update grub | 06:16 |
| dekenx | jojuji: try xsensors? | 06:17 |
| jojuji | dekenx, does that come with an applet for the panel? | 06:17 |
| Jonhnnyboy | Guest46625: try SuperGrub boot CD to fix it | 06:17 |
| rameez | <jojuji> : i just tried sysinfo.. but couldn't find fan speed there.. | 06:17 |
| dekenx | I think there's a version or that, but it's also an app | 06:17 |
| rameez | other details of cpu is there | 06:17 |
| jojuji | rameez, is it an applet for the panel? | 06:18 |
| rameez | you can run it from the command line.. | 06:18 |
| rameez | it will open the gui | 06:18 |
| dekenx | jojuji: what DE are u using? | 06:18 |
| jojuji | DE? | 06:18 |
| dekenx | jojuji: like gnome, kde, xfce? | 06:19 |
| rameez | also you can find it under :Applications:System Tols | 06:19 |
| jojuji | dekenx, gnome | 06:19 |
| dekenx | jojuji: I recall there being one, for the panel | 06:19 |
| jojuji | dekenx, by default, included? i cant find it | 06:20 |
| dekenx | jojuji: do u want it to click on the panel and open an app with info or show it right there? | 06:20 |
| jojuji | dekenx, show it right there | 06:20 |

| jukebox-zero | rameez: Did you read the release notes? I know there are several bugs/workarounds in there for graphics cards, there may be some for sound cards also | 06:23 |
| dekenx | did it work? | 06:23 |
| iceroot | sri: you mean kicker? that is kde #kubuntu | 06:23 |
| rameez | i tried some pages in the ubuntu support pages.. but din't work | 06:23 |
| sri | no... it is an automatic installation | 06:23 |
| isolat3dsh33p | rameez: aplay -l should display ur sound card :) | 06:24 |

| dekenx | iAmerikan: gnome and kde - stable most popular | 06:24 |
| kazagistar | is there some way to get compositing working on ubuntu inside a virtual guest? | 06:25 |
| isolat3dsh33p | rameez: You need to find ur driver then, check it using « lspci | grep Audio » | 06:25 |
| dekenx | iAmerikan: xfce: fast, less stable | 06:25 |
| Kieran0413 | Alan502, There's an rdp client for linux which should save you installing anything on the windows box, alternatively tightVNC works well, or FreeNX | 06:25 |
| * powertool08 seconds xfce | 06:25 | |
| kazagistar | iAmerikan: In that case, it is probably gnome, because you are used to it | 06:25 |
| dekenx | iAmerikan: lxde even faster | 06:26 |
| Alan502 | !vnc | 06:26 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 06:26 |
| dekenx | less stable though | 06:26 |
| rameez | isolat3dsh33p>: it is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 06:26 |
| jellow | iAmerikan: or there is fluxbox or Openbox though it take a lot of time to configure | 06:26 |
| kazagistar | iAmerikan: seriously, they are all just fine, use whatever you find fits your workflow | 06:26 |
| dsnyders | isolat3dsh33p, kickstart is an automated install program. It is useful for deploying multiple machines. | 06:26 |
| iAmerikan | Well tbh I have windows 7 installed, but I've had ubuntu partitioned for a long time, now windows is getting on my nervs, so I'm thinking about going fulltime nix | 06:26 |
| Alan502 | Kieran0413, i'm only worried of response time and easy of use. As well as automatic startup when booted. | 06:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | thanks dsnyders :) | 06:27 |

| eltume | what do i have to edit in /boot/grub/grub.cfg so that grub will boot the first option ??? | 06:27 |

| powertool08 | eltume: look for the 'set default=0' line | 06:28 |
| jinuljt | move that section to the front of the grub.cfg | 06:28 |
| dsnyders | Kieran0413, Is there an RDP server for ubuntu? | 06:28 |

| isolat3dsh33p | rameez: Use than info to find the driver :) | 06:29 |
| kazagistar | iAmerikan: KDE looks cool, GNOME is commercial-grade solid, XFCE is light but full-featured, ****box is really light, there are a bunch of tiling managers for keyboard freaks, etc... just install a few side by side and try them | 06:29 |
| sri | dsnyders: thanks... | 06:29 |
| Kieran0413 | dsnyders, He wanted to connect to the windows box from the linux one, which is why I suggested it. | 06:29 |
| dsnyders | sri, hope it helps | 06:29 |
| eltume | powertool thank you, i love you lol | 06:29 |

| rameez | <jukebox-zero> <isolat3dsh33p> : thanks for the help dudes.. | 06:29 |

| roracle | Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix issue: the sound works fine, the only problem is when i play audio, it starts the output but I do not hear anything for like 5-10 seconds. acer aspire one. anyone else having this issue? anyone have a clue as to how to fix this? | 06:30 |
| iAmerikan | I have a more serious issue, if anyone could possibly provide input? | 06:31 |
| Kieran0413 | dsnyders, Not a clue then but a quick google turned up xrdp | 06:31 |
| dekenx | iAmerikan: please explain :) | 06:31 |
| isolat3dsh33p | roracle: You can hear sound after 5-10 seconds? | 06:32 |
| iAmerikan | Well, I was on vista when I had ubuntu partitioned, but when I upgraded to 7 it switched from grub to the win boot manager, so now I can't access my partition | 06:32 |
| kazagistar | iAmerican: friendly warning, KDE and Gnome tend to be hard to uninstall, and litter each other's menus with random apps that duplicate functionality... you might have to go online to figure out how to remove one or the other | 06:32 |
| roracle | isolat3dsh33p: yes i can | 06:32 |
| Saxon | looking for help getting a USB hard drive enclosure recognized... any help? | 06:32 |
| dsnyders | Kieran0413, Yeah, I saw that, but I haven't had an opportunity to test it. When I saw you mention RDP, I thought you might have some experience with it. | 06:32 |
| dekenx | iAmerikan: yes ms will do that | 06:33 |
| Kieran0413 | iAmerikan, boot from the live cd and do a grub-install | 06:33 |
| iAmerikan | I'm on the live cd now :D | 06:33 |
| [psyk] | iAmerikan: Use a live disk (I use tinylinux on my usb) and use gparted to access the partition and move the space. That's just a quick fix. | 06:33 |

| jukebox-zero | x1r3: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/index.html | 06:35 |
| dsnyders | iAmerikan, It's probably too late, but perhaps you could run Windows in a virtual machine on top of Ubuntu, rather than dual booting. | 06:35 |
| x1r3 | ty | 06:35 |
| [psyk] | x1r3: Excellent question. Let me find something for you... | 06:35 |
| dekenx | iAmerikan: dual is fine as long as Grub handle it | 06:36 |
| iAmerikan | Well dsnyders the only reason I wasn't using virtualbox to do so was because I have 1 computer game that i've been playing for years, and it's windows only | 06:36 |
| roracle | it's very strange that most of the problems i have no one has a clue about, lol | 06:36 |

| kazagistar | I want to test new versions of AWN in a virtual machine, but it requires compositing (like compiz)... any ideas on how to get this working? | 06:36 |

| roracle | it's a very good setup | 06:38 |
| x1r3 | yeah they show | 06:39 |
| Kieran0413 | iAmerikan, to check the livecd version, you'd have to mount your partition to check the installed version the same way | 06:39 |
| kazagistar | ZykoticK9: ok, cool... I don't need well, I just need enough to test code that requires compiz working, and KVM didn't cut it, it seems | 06:39 |

| roracle | isolat3dsh33p: i even took the advice to try installing 32 bit and it still doesn't work | 06:41 |
| iAmerikan | how easy would it be to update from 8.10 to 9.10 on ubuntu? | 06:41 |
| x1r3 | well that was easy | 06:41 |
| Flannel | iAmerikan: Pretty easy. But you'll need to upgrade 8.10 -> 9.04 and then 9.04 -> 9.10 | 06:42 |
| kazagistar | jukebox-zero: you can't just pirate the wireless, you have to make sure you hack the device to give you proper QoS(disclaimer: do not actually do this) | 06:42 |
| isolat3dsh33p | roracle: It depends on how many person use the hardware. More people use it, so more people experienced certain bug and eventually someone clever will fix it :) | 06:42 |
| kazagistar | iAmerikan: it might be faster and easier to just re-install, if you have a CD to spare | 06:43 |

| Jordan_U | y6i: telinit? | 06:48 |
| jukebox-zero | kazagistar: I'm just about ready to shut off all encryption and security, but I got N+mimo so I'm afraid to drape my entire neighborhood in wifi. All that's enabled is then WPA passkey. That's pretty lax security really. Can't imagine why 9.10 doesn't even *see* my SSID. | 06:48 |
| domino14 | my computer has MMC/SD/MS PRO/etc slots and i accidentally unmounted the drives and they wont show up anymore. how do i make them show up without restarting the computer? | 06:48 |

| jukebox-zero | jordan_u could have been outdated though. sure didn't work on my box until I played with it. | 06:51 |
| Kieran0413 | I find it quite amusing that you're looking for backtrack details here :) | 06:51 |
| Cubey | I first tried the newer driver. which gave this symptom so i changed to the older one... which "fixed" it until I rebooted... so i switched back to the newer and it fixed it, until i rebooted again :/ | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | jukebox-zero: Can you give a link so I can fix it if it's a wiki or file a bug report if not? | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | BT, you're in the ubuntu channel, join the backtrack channel with '/join #remote-exploit' | 06:52 |
| BT | power thnx alot | 06:52 |
| jukebox-zero | Jordan_u ah... sure... lemme try. I know a google search for converting ext3 to ext4 pops it up. | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | y6i: If you run "reboot" your computer should reboot into the normal graphical system | 06:52 |
| iflema | Cubey: you get sorted? gksu nvidia-settings = change ya settings and save... merge or not? | 06:53 |
| Cubey | hm, lemmie try that... | 06:53 |
| Cubey | well, i have been doing that but with sudo | 06:54 |
| Cubey | but the highest res it offers is 640x480 | 06:54 |
| iflema | !gksu | 06:54 |
| Cubey | yet other times it has booted up to 1280 | 06:54 |
| NoCode | Is there anyway to get the old sound applet back prior to karmic? Currently using karmic, and my PA is MESSED up. I had to kill pulseaudio to make my sound work proper, it hasn't glitched so far. Though, the volumes are still a little messed up | 06:54 |
| NoCode | Maybe I'll just try OpenSuse | 06:55 |
| NoCode | and see how that applet is | 06:55 |
| Cubey | I have tried to then do the 'show preview' and change the 640x480 to 1024x768 and save it and reboot but it doesn't do a dang thing, it still loads in 640 | 06:55 |
| NoCode | It's a shame though. This release is a pisser. :( | 06:56 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: Have you tried installing Pulse Alsa Mixer? Gives more volume controls | 06:56 |
| iflema | Cubey: whats ya card model/manuf | 06:56 |
| NoCode | pulse alsa mixer? What? | 06:56 |
| iflema | nvidia | 06:56 |
| x1r3 | I don't remember who told me to look under system/admin/hardware drivers to look for my wireless card driver but thank you it works now lol didnt think it would be that easy. | 06:56 |
| Cubey | hm, ok, now it's in 1024... i just did a restart of gdm. now lets try a real reboot.. | 06:56 |
| iflema | no worrys | 06:57 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: sorry Gnome Alsa Mixer | 06:57 |
| Xfact | why people gives 'LTS' much priority.... now I am feeling like LTS is nothing but a simple old version of ubuntu!!!! | 06:57 |
| Cubey | yep ok, now it shows me all the higher res's too | 06:57 |
| Xfact | I am talking about hardy | 06:57 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: the LTS versions are designed to be more stable and last longer | 06:57 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: the current LTS *is* an old version of Ubuntu | 06:57 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: not to have the newest of everything | 06:57 |
| NoCode | installing it now | 06:57 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: 10.10 will be the next LTS release | 06:58 |
| lstarnes | ardchoille: wasn't it 10.04? | 06:58 |
| ardchoille | lstarnes: Ah, you're right, the next lts will be 10.04 | 06:58 |
| Kartagis | good morning | 06:58 |
| kazagistar | Xfact, ardchoille: 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is the next LTS, actually | 06:58 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: Home that helps...It def. helped me. Also, installing the Ubuntu Studio Audio package installs a bunch of great tools. | 06:59 |
| nikhil_ | can anyone point me in the direction to get a tablet working under linux | 06:59 |
| iflema | 10.04 LTS | 06:59 |
| Kartagis | any idea why brasero doesn't burn ISO, but when I reboot it does? | 06:59 |
| nikhil_ | it's a rebranded version of something else available only in india | 06:59 |
| Xfact | istarnes: yes I know but lets talk about 8.04, it's 'stable' and 'last longer'!??! It's doing many problem in my PC that karmic overcoming..... | 06:59 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: but also a bunch of stuff you may not need. | 06:59 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, What command do I get the gnome alsamixer working? | 06:59 |
| Xfact | and aren't karmic stable and last longer....? confusing! | 06:59 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, Yeah, I'm not going to install ubuntu studio packages | 06:59 |
| NoCode | I just want to get my stuff working half decent | 07:00 |
| Shwack | I installed an icon theme, Magog White v.10, and it works, but I cannot find where the .png files are to edit them. They are not in /usr/share/icons/ like the rest of the themes. Can anybody help me? | 07:00 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: they are only supported officially for 18 months | 07:00 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: it's under Applications>Sound and Video | 07:00 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: the LTS releases are supported for 3 years (5 years for servers) | 07:00 |
| ardchoille | Shwack: ~/.themes | 07:00 |
| ardchoille | Shwack: ~/.icons | 07:00 |
| Shwack | ardchoille, thank you! | 07:00 |
| Xfact | I switched to hardy (LTS) is something spacial...but it's noting :( | 07:00 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, Thanks, also gnome-alsamixer works. :) | 07:00 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: from CLI gnome-alsamixer | 07:00 |
| Kieran0413 | Xfact, Of course newer packages will provide more features and get rid of some bugs but they can also introduce others, hence things like LTS | 07:00 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: and the regular releases are more likely to get mahjor changes that break things | 07:00 |
| === | is now known as Guest51431 | ||
| lstarnes | *major | 07:00 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: excellent! | 07:00 |
| Cubey | ok, i wrote another new xorg.conf ... now lets see how it reboots... | 07:01 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: LTS simply means security updates for a longer time, so you don't have to update as often (important for businesses)... normal releases get updated more, so more patches (other then security) make it in | 07:01 |
| ardchoille | Shwack: ~/.themes and ~/.icons are for the user who installed them. /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons are for system-wide use | 07:01 |
| Cubey | hmm... seems to maybe be sticking now... | 07:02 |
| iflema | uh -herh | 07:02 |
| Xfact | istarnes: 18 months enough..in that 18 months the next new version will release to provide you another 18 months support! | 07:02 |
| Shwack | ardchoille, awesome - i found it and everything is perfect. thank you very much | 07:02 |
| ardchoille | Normal releases are based on debian unstable, LTS releases are based on debian testintg | 07:02 |
| Kieran0413 | Xfact, That's ok for desktop users, migration happens much slower in business land. | 07:03 |
| Xfact | I should have switched to 9.10 as I m totally HOME user! | 07:03 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: I would recommend 9.04 over 9.10 | 07:03 |
| Xfact | why 9.04... when .10 released! | 07:03 |
| bean | !test | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: it is more stable | 07:04 |
| Cubey | 9.10 seems good. but i'm no expert ;) | 07:04 |
| ardchoille | bean: The bot isn't here | 07:04 |
| bean | oh no! Ubottu is rly down! | 07:04 |
| cyclone | Starting VirtualBox kernel module ...failed! | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: and I have heard of many issues in 9.10 | 07:04 |
| bean | ardchoille: i noticed | 07:04 |
| cyclone | (modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why) | 07:04 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: alternatively, if you want something that is always up to date without needing to upgrade every 6 months, consider a "rolling relase" distribution such as arch, gentoo, or debian unstable | 07:04 |
| Cubey | yay, i think finally the settings are sticking... | 07:05 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, Oh man, I think this helped a lot. Was that PCM wasn't getting adjusted when using the other applets I wonder? | 07:05 |
| jukebox-zero | jordan_u: "Right now there's not a stable version of grub that supports booting a kernel from a ext4 partition. It's recommended that you keep /boot in a ext3 partition." | 07:05 |
| Kieran0413 | Which is great, until portage decides it doesn't like you and you spend half a day fixing it :D | 07:05 |
| jukebox-zero | jordan_u: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 | 07:05 |
| Kartagis | any idea why brasero doesn't burn ISO, but when I reboot it does? | 07:05 |
| Xfact | Istarnes: which version of ubuntu you use? | 07:05 |
| NoCode | was it that* | 07:05 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: I was using 8.03 | 07:05 |
| Cubey | I've rebooted it twice and it's still in 1024 and gives options for the higher res's | 07:05 |
| lstarnes | *8.04 | 07:05 |
| kazagistar | pidgin was swapped out for empathy in 9.10, which is worse in a LOT of ways (but at least it has video, yay!) | 07:05 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: NP. Glad I could help! | 07:06 |
| Cubey | couldn't you just install pidgin instead? ;o | 07:06 |
| Xfact | lstarnes: you were...or you still use 8.04? | 07:06 |
| ardchoille | Cubey: you can | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: I was using it | 07:06 |
| Kieran0413 | Sure can, first thing I did was remove empathy. | 07:06 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: but I switched to arch a couple weeks ago | 07:06 |
| Xfact | cause I am totally not happy with 8.04 :( | 07:06 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: I installed an old audigy card I had laying around a few weeks ago, and had to install Gnome Alsamixer to get it to work properly. | 07:07 |
| Xfact | ooh | 07:07 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: why not? | 07:07 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: I'm using 9.04 and I love it | 07:07 |
| Xfact | lstarnes: it's doesn't support many progs and it's like 'unstable' to me :( | 07:07 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, hmm, this is on a laptop. I've always had problems with 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 07:07 |
| lstarnes | Xfact: how is it being unstable? | 07:07 |
| NoCode | in karmic anyway | 07:07 |
| Cubey | ardchoille: I know, i was being sarcastic ;) | 07:07 |
| iflema | kazagistar: pidgin can be reinstalled and has mic and cam now.... but stay with empathy... or not | 07:08 |
| NoCode | others not so much. It's why I ran Debian for a while | 07:08 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: I can't get the mic to work on my laptop at all since upgrading to Karmic. | 07:08 |
| Xfact | lstarnes: like, after installation...some program is no working or closing unexpectedly in middle of usage... etc... | 07:08 |
| Kieran0413 | EastDallas, Join the club, I've even resorted to installing the latest alsa drivers from source, no dice | 07:08 |
| NoCode | EastDallas, =\ | 07:09 |
| nastas | EastDallas: did you check if the mic is muted? | 07:09 |
| EastDallas | Kieran0413: I never use the mic on my laptop, so no big deal, just means I have to use my desktop when recording music. It sounds better with the better soundcard anyway. :p | 07:10 |
| EastDallas | nastas: def. not muted | 07:10 |
| ian_ | my laptop isn't able to detect the battery i don't think, but it was able to before i put the computer to sleep. | 07:10 |
| NoCode | I wonder if there's a way to use my volume keys on my laptop with the PCM slider | 07:10 |
| EastDallas | NoCode: they work on mine right out of the box | 07:10 |
| NoCode | hmm, mine usually do too. Actually, i should re-enable them to see if that's what they adjust in karmic. I had to disable them because it was too loud when they adjusted. | 07:11 |
| nastas | EastDallas: you checked in sound preferences or in alsamixer? | 07:11 |
| EastDallas | nastas: I' | 07:11 |
| NoCode | hmm, k. When adjusting the volume it uses the master slider. | 07:12 |
| nastas | EastDallas: ? 1 min or the first a told you? | 07:12 |
| NoCode | nvm, no it doesn't | 07:12 |
| EastDallas | nastas: I've done everything you could possibly think of...I've just resolved that this is just one of the problems that goes with Karmic sound. | 07:12 |
| domino14 | how do i mount my SD/MMC drive? | 07:12 |
| ian_ | i have ubuntu 9.10, sorry i didn't mention that before. | 07:12 |
| domino14 | i dont know how to find out where it is, how does it get automatically mounted on bootup? | 07:13 |
| iAmerikan | maybe I'll ask you guys to help me out with more stuff after the version update :D | 07:13 |
| EastDallas | nastas: I was just relating my frustration to other people with sound problems....I've done hours of troubleshooting on it. | 07:13 |
| NoCode | it uses both. :| | 07:13 |
| daurnimator | hi, svn keeps asking for my GNOME keyring | 07:13 |
| daurnimator | I didn't even know I had one | 07:14 |
| nastas | EastDallas: in my case the mic wasn't showed muted in sound preferences but it was muted in alsa mixer | 07:14 |
| EastDallas | nastas: the first thing I did was install gnome-alsamixer. Didn't help | 07:14 |
| kazagistar | I'll go right out and say it... sound is the weakest part of the linux stack | 07:14 |
| nastas | EastDallas: did you check in a terminal alsamixer? (i guess you allready have) | 07:14 |
| Kieran0413 | kazagistar, Indeed, the only thing I ever really have issue with, hardware wise. | 07:15 |
| Crash2108 | I have a stupid easy one. | 07:15 |
| EastDallas | nastas: Like I said, not really interested in resolving...just telling others that I also had issues with sound in Karmic. | 07:15 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Kieran0413: how about graphics? | 07:15 |
| Crash2108 | How do I exit a man page? | 07:15 |
| lstarnes | Crash2108: q | 07:15 |
| daurnimator | Crash2108: q | 07:15 |
| nastas | EastDallas: ok | 07:15 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Crash2108: LOL | 07:15 |
| Kieran0413 | isolat3dsh33p, not really, the nv and ati drivers are much better than they used to be. | 07:15 |
| iflema | Crash2108: q | 07:16 |
| kazagistar | Kieran0413: it is really nasty on the developer side too :/ | 07:16 |
| Crash2108 | I've had issues with sound on my Nokia Booklet 3G with Karmic. Sometimes when I boot it just doesn't work. Rebooting makes it work., Pretty random. | 07:16 |
| daurnimator | anyone able to help with svn? >.< | 07:16 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Kieran0413: True actually. So sound it is | 07:16 |
| nastas | domino14: is it onboard card reader? | 07:17 |
| domino14 | nastas: yes it is, it's built into the computer, i accidentally unmounted it thru the GUI | 07:17 |
| Kieran0413 | kazagistar, I can imagine. | 07:17 |
| nastas | what gui? | 07:18 |
| sparr | after a recent upgrade I find ktorrent unable to connect to any trackers | 07:18 |
| isolat3dsh33p | nastas: graphical user interface | 07:18 |
| bean | sparr: i would completely remove it, and reinstall it | 07:18 |
| x1r3 | Is anyone running beryl that can help me get it installed and running. | 07:18 |
| Kieran0413 | sparr, have you checked the ports are unchanged and if they are, make sure you've forwarded it? | 07:18 |
| Kieran0413 | Didn't beryl go away years ago, x1r3? | 07:18 |
| isolat3dsh33p | x1r3: I think it's deprecated | 07:19 |
| iflema | beryl legacy believe | 07:19 |
| x1r3 | i think it did too but i just found it lol | 07:19 |
| isolat3dsh33p | x1r3: It's compiz-fusion now | 07:19 |
| x1r3 | i have it | 07:19 |
| iflema | themes ae hard to come by | 07:19 |
| Kieran0413 | x1r3, just enable visual effects and install compizsettings-manager, you get all the flashiness :) | 07:19 |
| isolat3dsh33p | x1r3: you just found an artifact! | 07:19 |
| x1r3 | ty | 07:19 |
| nastas | isolat3dsh33p: thank you but i know what gui is :) i ment which gui application he was using. (like disk utility) | 07:20 |
| x1r3 | i just want to be able to switch windows and cools stuff like i saw its stupid of me to want that but i think it looks cool | 07:20 |
| isolat3dsh33p | nastas: lol | 07:20 |
| nastas | isolat3dsh33p: :) | 07:20 |
| Kieran0413 | x1r3, Yeah, you get the same thing from Visual effects, they're pretty conservative by default but you can enable plugins via compiz settings manager | 07:20 |
| nastas | domino14: tell me what application you used to unmound the card | 07:21 |
| greezmunkey | m | 07:21 |
| domino14 | nastas: the default GUI that comes with ubuntu, i believe it is gnome? | 07:21 |
| Kieran0413 | x1r3, (which is in System -> preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects, in case you haven't found it) | 07:21 |
| domino14 | i just right clicked | 07:21 |
| nastas | domino14: oh ok | 07:21 |
| domino14 | nastas: maybe nautilus is it? | 07:21 |
| iflema | sudo apt-get update && apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:21 |
| Xfact | in this room anybody else using 8.04 LTS except me? | 07:21 |
| Flannel | Xfact: Many people are | 07:22 |
| kazagistar | x1r3: it looks cool, and the only way to convince someone how useless most of it is is to use it for a while... only thing I use it for is the "Show all windows" shortcut and because AWN requires it | 07:22 |
| nastas | domino14: so so far the sd card was able to mount-unmount? | 07:22 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: I have a server that is | 07:22 |
| Kieran0413 | The only thing I find really useful in compiz is altering window transparency with the scroll wheel | 07:22 |
| iflema | ooh correction = sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:22 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kazagistar: but I like the wobble | 07:22 |
| Kieran0413 | Saves switching windows to useless conversations and makes reading while doing other things easier :) | 07:22 |
| Xfact | flannel: I have doubt, there are 1298 people in this room currently, only 2 people respond! | 07:23 |
| domino14 | nastas: the drive itself seemed to mount when i booted up, then i put in a card, and the light lit up, so i tried to double click on the SD/MMC/etc icon and nothing happens when i double click | 07:23 |
| domino14 | so i clicked unmount and it went away and now wont come back, the light on the drive wont light up anymore | 07:23 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Xfact: that's normal :) | 07:23 |
| kazagistar | isolat3dsh33p: all the distortions are done with raster graphics and look terrible, imho | 07:24 |
| nastas | domino14: please paste in pastebin the output of the command lspci -vv | 07:24 |
| Xfact | isolat3dsh33p: yes...because only very few people using 8.04 LTS with me.... | 07:24 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Xfact: Not, really. If you stay longer, you'll find more friends. :) | 07:24 |
| Xfact | Horrible! I have to change...my version and I have lots data in 8.04, what shpuld I do? :( | 07:24 |
| daltio | any one works on ubuntu 9.10 | 07:25 |
| papul | is there any way to paste output in pastebin directly thru terminal | 07:25 |
| daltio | i installed now i want to update it through my debain etch apt-proxy | 07:25 |
| nastas | Xfact: in my desctop i made a step by step upgrade to 9.04 | 07:25 |
| Xfact | Ok anybody using Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 in this room? | 07:25 |
| daltio | it hangs | 07:25 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: most of the people in this room are not paying any attention to what is going on | 07:25 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kazagistar: looks fine with me. :) | 07:25 |
| Xepera | kazagistar: true. | 07:25 |
| Kieran0413 | Xfact, this is why it's a good idea to have your /home on a separate partition, for future reference | 07:25 |
| mneptok | Xfact: you can preserve your home when installing | 07:26 |
| NoCode | Should I remove pulseaudio in karmic? | 07:26 |
| Xfact | Kieran0413: I don't knew the idea when I installed so now having problem :( | 07:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | NoCode: No, unless you want to | 07:26 |
| Xfact | can i install ubuntu 9.10 and 8.04 in a same partition? | 07:26 |
| Xepera | NoCode: for what? | 07:26 |
| nastas | Xfact: in my case i didn't lost any data but it still little bit risky. that's why Kieran0413 is right. seperate /home partition is the best | 07:26 |
| Xfact | I think that will totally mess up! | 07:26 |
| domino14 | nastas: http://pastebin.com/m4983f54f | 07:27 |
| NoCode | Well, I'm not using pulseaudio now anyway. I've killed it, and just using alsa at the moment | 07:27 |
| isolat3dsh33p | NoCode: You mean « killall pulseaudio » ? | 07:27 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: my usual strategy is to save the entire filesystem to my external hard drive (having a backup is always good) and then grab back whatever folders I need from there after installing | 07:27 |
| iflema | Xfact: the install cd allows ya to resize partitions... | 07:27 |
| greezmunkey | what's going on, I wasn't paying any attention... | 07:28 |
| Xfact | can i install ubuntu 9.10 and 8.04 in a same partition? (I think it's very bad idea, cause for having common folders it'll mess everything up!) | 07:28 |
| iflema | Xfact: if ya wanna resize try gparted live | 07:28 |
| NoCode | isolat3dsh33p, yes | 07:28 |
| iflema | Xfact: back up | 07:28 |
| Xfact | ok only HOMe needed to be backed up? | 07:28 |
| cryingfreeman | I run Jaunty, since Karmic doesn't play well with my computer, and i need a VPN-client that supports one time passwords (OTP). I came across this http://blog.cyphermox.net/2008/10/call-for-testing-network-manager-vpnc.html and tried to install via his PPA, but it requires gtk 2.17+ which i don't have installed. Are there any other way in which i can get this installed, like from backports? Is there OTP-support in the net | 07:28 |
| cryingfreeman | work-manager in karmic? | 07:28 |
| iflema | Xfact you may be able to resize and squeeze in another..... but put it after the other ubuntu | 07:29 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: indeed, it is a bad idea... you could update, though | 07:29 |
| Kieran0413 | cryingfreeman, it's for network-manager, so I doubt it'll be much help without gtk | 07:29 |
| isolat3dsh33p | NoCode: it should be restarted. « pidof -x pulseaudio » should give you some numbers ;) | 07:30 |
| Xfact | kazagistar: you can understand reaching 9.10 from 8.04 is a long way! | 07:30 |
| nastas | isolat3dsh33p: can you do me a favor? check domino14's link in pastebin. i don't see the mass storage nowhere. it should be there right? | 07:30 |
| Xfact | kazagistar: 8.10>9.04 then 9.10! (looong update)! | 07:30 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: true... you could wait until 10.4 in 4 months... then there will be a direct update path | 07:31 |
| Crash2108 | Anyone here ever use GPSd? | 07:31 |
| cryingfreeman | keiran0413: that much i understand, ;) I just wonder if there is any way of getting OTP in network-manager without upgrading to karmic? | 07:31 |
| tainz | test | 07:31 |
| Kieran0413 | cryingfreeman, Apologies, I misunderstood you. | 07:32 |
| cryingfreeman | keiran0413: or if it even has OTP-support in the karmic version of network manager.. | 07:32 |
| techgeek | im trying to get my wireless card working with the atheros chipset following the instructions on madwifi wiki, Im trying to apt-get the linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) but apt cant find the package. Is this package not available anymore for karmic? | 07:32 |
| Xfact | kazagistar: but I also think, when 10.04 will out in directly updating then is also a bad idea, cause for having very first release it may have lots of bug! | 07:32 |
| cryingfreeman | kieran0413: no worries. i was a bit vague.. :) | 07:32 |
| domino14 | nastas: thanks for looking into it. maybe since i unmounted it it went away? | 07:33 |
| kazagistar | Xfact: 9.10 has only been out for 2 months... Ubuntu tends to be decently stable straight after beta | 07:34 |
| isolat3dsh33p | nastas: i think it should be « fdisk -l » | 07:34 |
| nastas | techgeek: in your software sources you might not have checked the restricted and multiverse | 07:35 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kazagistar: 9.10 is just a beta for 10.04 ;) | 07:35 |

| NoCode | isolat3dsh33p, haha it did. :D | 07:35 |
| NoCode | Anyway, I need to go sleep. | 07:36 |
| nastas | isolat3dsh33p: i mean the device. not the card. the card is not mounted. but i can't see the mass storage section | 07:36 |
| Xfact | kazagistar: I can't say 9.10 is totally stable yet, because many people having some problem with it heard, I am also having some! | 07:36 |

| Kieran0413 | Ferrenrock, You'd probably be best googling for an iptables gui | 07:39 |
| Ferrenrock | Kieran0413: I've been looking for one | 07:39 |
| star3am | Ferrenrock check out FIREHOL ! | 07:39 |
| Ferrenrock | star3am: what's that? | 07:39 |
| chilli0 | Herro | 07:40 |
| star3am | <Ferrenrock> firewall, using iptables, but simplified, it's really awesome ! | 07:40 |
| star3am | <Ferrenrock> firehol.sourceforge.net | 07:40 |
| Ferrenrock | star3am: does it show like all existing connections at once? | 07:40 |

| Crash2108 | How do I expose the HDD's accelerometer? | 07:40 |
| Ferrenrock | or at least tell me which one takes up the most? | 07:41 |
| star3am | <Ferrenrock> for that you'd have to use netstat -l or something like ntop :) | 07:41 |
| Ferrenrock | star3am: ntop? | 07:41 |
| star3am | <Ferrenrock> network top, with rrd graphs and charts about connections and ports on your machine | 07:42 |
| Ferrenrock | star3am: that's what I'm thinking of. Is there an app that has that integrated with other firewall apps? | 07:43 |
| Kieran0413 | Ferrenrock, You'd probably just have to create your firewall rules based on that. | 07:43 |
| star3am | <Ferrenrock> uhm, trying to think of the name of this one live CD | 07:44 |
| Crash2108 | Why does my ubuntu sometimes freeze? | 07:44 |
| Ferrenrock | star3am: something like backtrack? | 07:44 |
| Kieran0413 | Crash2108, That's a little ambiguous | 07:44 |
| Crash2108 | I know. Is there a way to know? Troubleshooting? It's pretty random. | 07:45 |
| Kieran0413 | Ferrenrock, back track is a pentesting distro, you'd probably be looking at something like smoothwall or pfsense | 07:45 |

| nastas | Lostinspace_46: while doing this (twice) did you get any error? | 07:52 |
| Kieran0413 | CorpX, that's likely just a product of using the wireless keyboard, some are a bit funky and don't act as a simple HID device so you need to boot for them to be recognised | 07:52 |

| Jordan_U | afroman: No, that's it | 08:20 |
| VivekRp | anyone help me. | 08:20 |
| mneptok | splustax2_: log out and back in | 08:20 |
| MASARUwota | VivekRp: please state your question. | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: Would you say it's abnormally bad tearing? | 08:20 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, 'metacity --replace' does the job. | 08:20 |
| splustax2_ | ok | 08:21 |
| CorpX | guys i can access the bios using my wireless keyboard, but i cant navigate the ubuntu OS prompt with it | 08:21 |
| VivekRp | hw should i mount win drives on Ubuntu 8.10 ?? | 08:21 |
| Crash2108 | Anyone her ever use GpS? | 08:21 |
| afroman | jors | 08:21 |
| Crash2108 | Are you THE afroman? | 08:21 |
| isolat3dsh33p | VivekRp, sure if you want to | 08:21 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: not terrible but still annoying | 08:22 |
| MASARUwota | CorpX: well, i guess thats possible, it hasnt done a proper modprobe yet at that moment. please use a normal keyboard aswell, and use the "try ubuntu" method, see if it works in a fully started environment | 08:22 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, just install the right driver from ati website :) | 08:22 |
| MASARUwota | VivekRp, just click it in nautilus for automounting | 08:22 |
| afroman | and remove fglrx? | 08:23 |
| iKernel | my X screen is blank | 08:23 |
| iKernel | im not getting any sound | 08:23 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Oh my, I'm not sure anymore... But I know it said failed to install to hda0 or something similar, and I'm using raid so I feel like it should've been /dev/mapper/.../ | 08:23 |
| CorpX | sry im a noob | 08:23 |
| iKernel | I can't connect with wifi | 08:23 |
| Jordan_U | CorpX: Does your wireless keyboard use bluetooth or a USB adaptor ( BTW, it's a bug in your BIOS most likely since it should provide access to the keyboard to grub, but if it's a usb keyboard you can also tell grub to try to acess it directly ) | 08:23 |
| CorpX | whats the try ubuntu method? | 08:23 |
| iKernel | never mind, I fixed my X screen | 08:23 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: shall I remove fglrx? | 08:23 |
| iKernel | never mind, I fixed my sound | 08:23 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, the one from ati website is fglrx aswell, but the one in the Hardware Drivers is outdated | 08:23 |
| iKernel | never mind, I fixed my wifi | 08:23 |
| plustax | <plustax> mneptok | 08:23 |
| plustax | <plustax> okay I logged out and back in and did emerald --replace | 08:23 |
| plustax | <plustax> It changed it. But it didnt confirm yet again. Would you like a screenshot to show you what I mean? I fear if I exit terminal that its going to disappear again | 08:23 |
| FloodBot3 | plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:24 |
| MASARUwota | CorpX: choose the first option when starting from the CD | 08:24 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: since it's like my eighth install of the night, and have yet to have it succeed, I just clicked through it to skip the installation of a bootloader... | 08:24 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: oooo... | 08:24 |
| CorpX | oh | 08:24 |
| CorpX | its already installed | 08:24 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: so remove fglrx from hardware drivers, then install the ati driver from the ati website? | 08:25 |
| Jordan_U | adamonline45: Try following this guide and pastebin any error you get if it doesn't work http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 08:25 |
| Crash2108 | You're not the real afroman, are you? | 08:25 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, yes :) | 08:25 |
| afroman | Crash2108: no but I got high | 08:25 |

| ardchoille | plustax: I have written a number of themes for gtk/metacity and am writingone now | 08:26 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: that's the thing, as I have mobility it's kind of hard to get the right driver from ati website | 08:26 |
| plustax | ardchoille could I pm you please? | 08:27 |
| Shwack | http://tinysong.com/6Wrw | 08:27 |

| MASARUwota | CorpX: is it a microsoft keyboard by any chance??? | 08:27 |
| adamonline45 | Jordan_U: Alright, I'll do that. However, i have a 9.10 server and a 9.10 alternate install, neither with a live CD option when I boot from them... Do I need the desktop iso? | 08:27 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: ati mobility hd 3470 | 08:27 |
| ceW | medan | 08:27 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: radeon | 08:28 |
| tarzeau | how can i change the GDM background image at login time? | 08:28 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, 32 or 64 bit? | 08:28 |
| tarzeau | i googled like several days and can't figure... | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | adamonline45: You just need to be able to connect to the internet, mount, and chroot ( all of which you can do through the alternate and server install CD's it's just a little less straight foreward ) | 08:28 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: I have ubuntu x86_64 | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: Try enabling ati kernel mode setting | 08:30 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: how do I do that? | 08:30 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx ->Linux x86_64 -> Mobility Radeon -> Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series. Read the release notes to see whether your card is listed. And if yes, install and have fun ;) | 08:30 |
| MASARUwota | CorpX | 08:30 |
| MASARUwota | is it a microsoft keyboard CorpX? | 08:30 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: what about xorg.conf, do I change anything? | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: Add "radeon.modeset=1" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot ( you need to be using the "ati" driver for this to work and X may fail to start so be sure you know how to undo it from the terminal ) | 08:32 |
| Jonhnnyboy | how can I get ubuntu to login without asking for a password? | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | Jonhnnyboy: System > Administration > Login Screen | 08:33 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, you don't have to afaik. Just run « sh ati-driver-installer-x-x-x86.64.run » There will be a gui dialog :) | 08:33 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: do I remove first the old fglrx? | 08:33 |
| Jonhnnyboy | Jordan_U: cheers big ears | 08:34 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: I think I can change a line or 2 in terminal | 08:34 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: but what is that line for? | 08:34 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, if i remember correctly, the ati installer will automatically remove the previous fglrx. But you can remove it, but don't remove the package. You could use it in the future. | 08:35 |
| isolat3dsh33p | *completely remove | 08:35 |
| afroman | ok | 08:35 |
| afroman | thx | 08:36 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: It changes what kernel parameters are passed at boot. radeon.modeset=1 enables kernel mode setting, which will give you full resolution tty, ability to use 3D apps with compiz without flickering and other problems and may help the tearing ( but I'm not sure how likely that is ) | 08:36 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: that line, why put it in grub? | 08:37 |
| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, np. :) | 08:37 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: Grub is the bootloader, it's what loads and passes parameters to the kernel. So if you want to add a kernel parameter ( like radeon.modeset=1 ) you do that in grub | 08:39 |
| afroman | ok | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: You can also get to the grub menu by holding shift at boot and add readeon.modeset=1 for just one boot by pressing "e" to edit the menu entry | 08:40 |
| nonexks | i have a small problem... i just installed ubuntu and for some reason my wireless will connect and work fine for a few sec then it drops to almost no speed ... 4500 bps ... very slow and i have chedcked the network its fine all other computers are fine just the new laptop ubuntu is droping off to no speed | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: That way if it fails you can just reboot and nothing will have been permanently changed | 08:40 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: I'm going to try ur idea 1st | 08:41 |
| afroman | thx | 08:41 |

| skydrome | anyone have problems with transmission causing ubuntu to freeze? | 08:43 |
| MASARUwota | skydrome: freeze? as in, nothing works except your mouse? | 08:43 |
| skydrome | correct | 08:43 |
| MASARUwota | skydrome: that doesnt have to do with transmission :X | 08:44 |
| MASARUwota | bad hardware or bad drivers create those problems | 08:44 |
| boo-boo | hi there everybody | 08:44 |
| boo-boo | happy new year :p happy new bug -.- | 08:44 |
| MASARUwota | im getting a freeze every 2 days, because i have an old HD :X | 08:44 |
| === militant[game] is now known as militant[ff8] | ||
| skydrome | well, i uninstalled transmission and its completely fine now | 08:44 |
| MASARUwota | skydrom: O.o | 08:44 |
| Jkessler | c0l2e: what needs to be fixed? did the key come off? | 08:44 |
| MASARUwota | lol | 08:45 |
| afroman | jordan_U: I doubt it's going to work as the driver installed is fglrx | 08:45 |
| iAmerikan | I'm not sure what I did, but when I restarted, I got a message saying "mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype init:mountall main process (424) terminated with status 127 | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | skydrome: Was it using a lot of RAM? | 08:45 |
| skydrome | not that i noticed | 08:45 |
| skydrome | just randomly, everything would stop responding | 08:45 |
| MASARUwota | iAmerikan: do you have weird entries in your fstab? D: | 08:45 |
| rfm | skydrome: well, consider transmission is hammering your net interface; if there was a rare bug in the net driver, then running transmission would make it show up more often. | 08:46 |
| iAmerikan | fstab can't be found on live cd | 08:46 |
| boo-boo | my problem: juat updated to new kernel -17 i think and i installed virtualbox 3.1 before.... after reboot nvidia didnt work.. reinstalled... then now my graphics work again but ... wlan no more -.- any suggestions? restarted networking + network-manager .... dunno whats going on now! | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: Correct, if you want to try kernel mode setting you have to remove fglrx ( and any reference to it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) | 08:46 |
| PyjamaSpank | is fstab my brain for mounting during boot? | 08:46 |
| c0l2e | Jkessler: on 9.04 it works Fn + Up Arrow key for inc brightness and Fn + Down arrow for decrease | 08:47 |
| PyjamaSpank | or the brain | 08:47 |
| skydrome | rfm, that could be. I switched to using rtorrent and have the net at full throttle up/down and no problems | 08:47 |
| c0l2e | Jkessler: now in 9.10 it doesn't work anymore | 08:47 |
| MASARUwota | PyjamaSpank sort of | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | c0l2e: Do you see the brigtness bar / icon on the screen when you hit those keys? | 08:47 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: and if I remove it what driver should I install? | 08:47 |
| PyjamaSpank | is that the only place that is looked at during boot? | 08:47 |
| c0l2e | Jordan_U: not anymore | 08:47 |
| dumont | yay works | 08:48 |
| dumont | it was capturing \r :( | 08:48 |
| dumont | thanks naktibalda | 08:48 |

| dumont | (^http://.*)(?:\r\n|\n|\r)?$ | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | afroman: "ati", but it's already installed. You can just run without an xorg.conf and it will use ati ( it's the default ) | 08:48 |

| Jkessler | fn+up/down | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | Prescience5001: Are you using 64 bit Ubuntu? | 08:49 |
| c0l2e | current kernel is 2.6.31-17-generic | 08:49 |
| Prescience5001 | yeah | 08:49 |
| PyjamaSpank | if I'm moving a drive from NTFS to EXT, is fstab the only place i need to look to mess about with the settings? | 08:49 |
| Prescience5001 | and it is a 32 bit binary | 08:49 |
| Prescience5001 | is that the problem? | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | Prescience5001: Then you need to install 32 bit libraries | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | Prescience5001: Yes | 08:50 |
| c0l2e | Jkessler: in most lenovo not working now, g400, g410 | 08:50 |

| c0l2e | and similar lenovo laptop with fn+Up/Down | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | Prescience5001: At least if there is in fact a ./thunderbird-bin | 08:50 |
| c0l2e | Jkessler: not fix yet? | 08:50 |
| Prescience5001 | there is | 08:50 |
| Jkessler | c0l2e: doesn't look like it | 08:51 |
| c0l2e | Jkessler: oh ok | 08:51 |
| afroman | Jordan_U: so if I remove the fglrx in hardware drivers, the ati driver will kick in then I can try that line? | 08:51 |
| c0l2e | anyway minor only.. but functional for me | 08:51 |

| Jordan_U | afroman: You aren't going to be editing a file, you will just be temporarily testing the new kernel parameter by entering it manually at boot | 09:07 |

| Jordan_U | DarkSmoke: Boot an Ubuntu 9.10 liveCD if you have one and check your file system with System > Administration > Disk Utility ( or use fsck ) | 09:21 |
| Jordan_U | DarkSmoke: If it finds any errors, and fixes them, try rebooting again | 09:21 |

| DarkSmoke | Jordan_U is it possible to do it without the live cd? | 09:22 |

| |_ocke | that's a lot of people competing for responses | 09:22 |
| DarkSmoke | ? | 09:22 |
| Myrtti | jgcampbell300: giving a bit more info about your problem is highly helpful in getting help | 09:22 |
| maco | |_ocke: ...or doing the responding as opposed to looking for help | 09:22 |
| maco | but youre right, its probably 1300 ignoring it | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | DarkSmoke: If you can get to the recovery mode without getting the same error, yes | 09:22 |

| chuuk | and the documentation is almost non existent | 09:31 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: careful youre not thinking of AWN ;) | 09:31 |
| maco | chuuk: that sounds more like a X issue... | 09:31 |
| === militant is now known as militant[ff8] | ||
| mneptok | chuuk: that may be more a function of X than the WM | 09:31 |
| isolat3dsh33p | maco, LOL, what's WM anyway? D: | 09:31 |
| * om26er thinks he is in the wrong channel | 09:31 | |
| maco | chuuk: try "xrandr --output FOO --right-of BAR" (based on outputs listed in "xrandr" output) | 09:31 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: window manager | 09:31 |
| chuuk | mneptok, hmm...so how do i get around that? | 09:31 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: AWN = Avant Window Navigator | 09:32 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: AWN is a dock | 09:32 |
| adamonline45 | To install to a RAID 0 array whose controller is merely 'hardware assisted', should I instead opt to skip the RAID setup via BIOS and just use the install RAID setup? Or do I need the 'hardware' RAID array set up to do that? | 09:32 |

| maco | |_ocke: thats yet another window manager | 09:32 |
| isolat3dsh33p | maco, any window manager? | 09:33 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: yes, WM is jsut short for "window manager" | 09:33 |
| titan_ark | Hello :) | 09:33 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: so you can say "my wm is fluxbox" or "i use xmonad for my wm" | 09:33 |
| mneptok | i should make Yet Another Window Navigator. everyone would be bored by it, and fall asleep. | 09:33 |
| maco | isolat3dsh33p: note also that a desktop environment and a window manager are different. GNOME, Xfce, and KDE are all DE's. their respective default WMs are metacity, xfwm4, and kwin | 09:34 |

| dirtyrice | I press esc when my machine is booting yet it does not bring up a menu it simply continues to boot. I must boot into safe mode to fix my resolution as I can not raise it above 800x600 currently. After reading when I bring up this menu I should be able to select an option to repair the resolution. | 09:36 |

| airtonix | Laurenceb, it helps if you give all the relevant info before you ask for help | 10:29 |

| achadwick | apanda: try a seperate backport to build tesseract-ocr-dev (and its corresponding binary bits) in a separate directory, and install all the .deb files generated by that. It turns into a bit of a faff if the deps have unsatisfiable deps :/ | 10:29 |

| edeca | Heh | 10:31 |
| happy | lol | 10:31 |
| isolat3dsh33p | O_O | 10:32 |
| achadwick | Aled: do you mean a versioning _file_ system? | 10:32 |
| adamonline45 | Weird, I see GRUB Loading, then the ubuntu logo, then after a moment the monitor gets an 'out of range' signal... Any thoughts? | 10:32 |
| achadwick | Or the versioning (revision) control system that the Linux kernel uses? | 10:32 |
| Aciid | I think he means does Ubuntu use CVS as in development | 10:32 |
| === sandeep is now known as Guest68617 | ||

| airtonix | Aciid, no it uses svn | 10:32 |

| ae86-drifter | could someone pls help me, my screen wont let me choose the correct resolution, and it is saying i have a 40" screen | 10:33 |
| Aled | A stable release would have the version 1.0.0 | 10:33 |
| MASARUwota | adamonline45: start in runlevel 3 | 10:33 |
| edeca | Why don't we wait until _he_ asks rather than assume? :) | 10:33 |
| Aled | 1 is the major version | 10:33 |
| Aled | .0 is submajor | 10:33 |
| edeca | Aled: Sort of, yes. | 10:33 |
| Aciid | airtonix: and why CVS, why not SVN btw =D | 10:33 |
| Aled | .0 after that is a minor release | 10:33 |
| adamonline45 | MASARUwota: Hey I have a friend named Masaru! Anyway, how would I do that? I can't see anything... live cd? | 10:33 |
| edeca | Aled: There is a wiki page on release numbering and naming | 10:33 |
| Aled | 1.1.0 is unstable | 10:33 |
| adamonline45 | isolat3dsh33p: 9.10 alt64 | 10:33 |
| airtonix | Aled, that is standard versioning not "linux versioning" | 10:33 |
| happy | Aciid: what about GIT?! :-) | 10:33 |
| Aled | Oh | 10:33 |
| Aled | I was not told that | 10:33 |
| edeca | Aled: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames | 10:33 |
| Aciid | happy: yeah that would be even better | 10:33 |
| achadwick | ISTR her asked earlier about filesystems. But memory may be faulty. | 10:34 |
| airtonix | Aled, thats because software development in other areas is a clusterjob | 10:34 |
| Aciid | happy: but ubuntu has big files, git is superfast for smaller files | 10:34 |
| isolat3dsh33p | adamonline45, are you trying to install it or you have installed it for a while? | 10:34 |
| airtonix | Aled, that is to say there is no order, no one cares about consitancy or standards... | 10:34 |
| isolat3dsh33p | adamonline45, nvm, I don't think I can help you :( | 10:34 |
| Aled | Alright | 10:34 |
| execute | isolat3dsh33p, yes, I am running compiz and it does work, thanks! do I need to keep it running all the time? when I tried to close the terminal window everything froze | 10:34 |
| MASARUwota | adamonline45: well, either livecd and then edit that, or boot in runlevel 3 (press edit when grub shows up, and put a "3" on the every end at the kernel row | 10:34 |
| Aled | When I was a regular at phpBB's forums I was told it was called the Linux Version System | 10:35 |
| Aled | but clearly I've been proven wrong | 10:35 |
| adamonline45 | isolat3dsh33p: no, this is a fresh install... but I had it working one one drive, now I'm trying to get it working on a RAID array using software... Oh, oh well, thanks anyways :) | 10:35 |
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu wont let me choose 1280x1024, i only get the option 1024x768, but my screen supports it.. | 10:35 |
| airtonix | Aled, information given through lack of wider experience | 10:35 |
| Aled | Well you learn something new everyday xD | 10:35 |
| isolat3dsh33p | execute, you should use the run command « alt+F2 » and then type in metacity --replace | 10:35 |
| adamonline45 | MASARUwota: Hmm, I don't see the options for grub, it flashes by so fast... Do you know the key offhand? | 10:35 |
| execute | isolat3dsh33p, and do I have to do that again every time I restart ? | 10:36 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: hej I'm back | 10:36 |

| isolat3dsh33p | afroman, then it'll not work perfectly :/ | 10:44 |
| dura | exotic? | 10:44 |
| airtonix | execute, because you can have compiz running and it will still be providing compositing to the desktop yet the backend that controls the window frames (rendering and interaction) has crashed or gone zombie | 10:44 |
| om26er | how can i download this source code? git clone git://git.gnome.org/anjal | 10:45 |
| tsimpson | dura: as long as it would work if you did a fresh install, it'll work if you just move the hard drive | 10:45 |
| erUSUL | om26er: just run that command in a terminal | 10:45 |
| execute | airtonix, looking at compizconfig settings manager... it seems like "resize windows" is off. shouldn't that be on by default? oO | 10:45 |

| adsflhsf | hello! how do i set programs launch on certain desktop at system start ?? | 10:45 |
| Silex | hi guys, is it possible to reconnect to pts/0 like in http://codepad.org/IOHdsI1O? I ran do-release-upgrade on my server last night and my connection died | 10:45 |
| airtonix | adsflhsf, using devilspie | 10:45 |
| Silex | it looks like the upgrade process is waiting on some validation from me | 10:45 |
| om26er | installing | 10:45 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: I guess not. it is recommended to contact sony to ask for driver. U know when I go linux----radeon--- mobility--- others | 10:45 |
| adsflhsf | could you share me with example of its use ?? | 10:46 |
| airtonix | adsflhsf, or if you are using compiz, you'll put them in the standard startup place and then tell compiz to move them to a certain desktop when they run | 10:46 |
| adsflhsf | i never use compiz. | 10:46 |
| dura | ok, thanks | 10:46 |
| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, is it your connection that lags or the PC | 10:47 |

| execute | airtonix, well, turning that on makes everything work, but... I would've expected that having it off just makes resizing less pretty, not completely disabling it :\ | 10:47 |
| adsflhsf | thanks! | 10:47 |
| om26er | can i install ubuntu on btrfs? | 10:47 |
| airtonix | execute, fundamental module. | 10:47 |
| mimir|on | ae86-drifter: my laptop lags.. the connection is fine. whenever i start any upload process, everything starts to work slow. it comes back to normal when the upload is done | 10:47 |
| Younder | eforic is the name of the game. New girlfriend | 10:48 |
| Younder | problems anyone? | 10:48 |
| airtonix | execute, also the fusion-icon applet : right click and look in the menu you should see two entries that have to do with window frames : one that selects between metacity and compiz and the other should switch between what ever window renderers you ahve (default is gnome-window-something-something-something) | 10:48 |
| APERSON | Is there a way to switch from ethernet to wifi without dropping my connection briefly? | 10:49 |
| airtonix | APERSON, no | 10:49 |
| Younder | APERSON, no | 10:49 |
| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, i have no idea, sorry, seems very strange... | 10:49 |
| superboki | where would i put pgp keys? | 10:49 |
| APERSON | airtonix, Younder: thanks | 10:50 |
| ae86-drifter | superboki, use synaptic to add them | 10:50 |
| mimir|on | Younder: can you check my issue? | 10:50 |
| mimir|on | ae86-drifter: thanks, i'll keep looking | 10:50 |
| execute | airtonix, I have "select window manager" (compiz or metacity) and "select window decorator" (just one option - "GTK Window Decorator"). nothing about frames or gnome-window-something-something-something | 10:50 |
| airtonix | execute, btw if you want that alt-right-click drag to move and resize windows on other OS's let me know | 10:50 |
| superboki | ae86-drifter: how, what do i clicky? | 10:51 |
| Silex | hi guys, is it possible to reconnect to pts/0 like in http://codepad.org/IOHdsI1O? I ran do-release-upgrade on my server last night and my connection died | 10:51 |
| airtonix | execute, yeah window decorator will get populated with other options if you install for example : emerald | 10:51 |
| Younder | mimir|on, I cant do much yet. State your problem. | 10:51 |
| mimir|on | Younder: so, whenever i start an upload process, my desktop starts to lag. when the upload is done, the normal speed of the desktop is back. upload with filezilla, any browser, any BT client | 10:52 |
| execute | airtonix, should GTK Window Decorator be checked? its the only option, but its radio box is unchecked | 10:52 |
| mimir|on | Younder: i'm on 64bit karmic, on a notebook | 10:53 |
| Younder | mimir|on, wierd | 10:53 |
| superboki | where would i put pgp keys? (i'am on jaunty) | 10:53 |
| afroman | isolat3dsh33p: can U help me with another problem? my printer canon l120 can't work. where can I get a driver for it? | 10:53 |
| airtonix | execute, yep its good (using this instead of other options means it will use metacity themes (window themes you see in the appearance applet)) | 10:53 |
| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, its not a remote VNC is it ? lol | 10:53 |
| mimir|on | ae86-drifter: nope :P | 10:53 |
| Younder | mimir|on, what kinda network connection do you have | 10:54 |
| Younder | ? | 10:54 |
| mimir|on | Younder: wifi | 10:54 |
| airtonix | execute, of course you can try out emerald | 10:54 |
| JonathanEllis | How can I make mailto links in chrome open in gmail? | 10:54 |
| airtonix | !find emerald | 10:54 |

| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, no idea then.. lol | 10:54 |
| execute | airtonix, what's the different ? | 10:54 |
| execute | *difference | 10:54 |
| pea[PC] | does anyone else's mouse go mental when you first boot up? | 10:54 |
| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, try limit the upload rate, does it make a differnce?>? | 10:55 |
| airtonix | execute, imo it uses a bit more resources and it then requires you to manage the window themes via a different config interface than the standard appearance manager you use for every thing elese | 10:55 |
| Younder | mimir|on, well that's kninda new. Don't have any expeience with that | 10:55 |
| abiosoft | \leave #ubuntu | 10:55 |

| om26er | plustax, hi, try sudo | 10:56 |
| ae86-drifter | mimir|on, you mean it lags just as much as full up speed? | 10:56 |
| airtonix | execute, personally i haven't found a theme i like that would cause me to install emerald (they are all vista/mac clones), default 9.10 metacity theme is what i've been using since intrepid | 10:56 |
| Younder | plustax, chmod | 10:56 |

| plustax | missing operand | 10:57 |
| ae86-drifter | what can i do to preserve resources, my PC is pretty slow, running 9.10 dont wanna reinstall remix version... | 10:57 |
| Younder | DEViUS, it is almost certainly due to the cat that you are not in the sound group | 10:57 |

| ae86-drifter | mah2223, no it doesnt make a difference | 11:01 |
| mah2223 | thank you i suppose the problem must be something else then | 11:01 |

| ae86-drifter | DEViUS, if your PC is as old as mine | 11:12 |

| t0mas | edeca: any simpler tools? | 11:14 |
| ae86-drifter | DEViUS, well you cannot update it through linux, unless DELL have an alternative besides the EXE ti use | 11:14 |
| edulacomadreja | is there any command to "show desktop"? | 11:14 |
| Nicekiwi9 | edeca: how exactly do I boot to GRUB? now that everythings all streamlined all those options are hidden | 11:14 |

| legend2440 | Nicekiwi9: for grub2 hold dowh Shift key while booting to get grub menu | 11:20 |
| Nicekiwi9 | edeca: all its says is "GRUB Booting..." in the top left before switching to the ubuntu logo then login screen | 11:20 |

| MASARUwota | papul: i would suggest to get the latest source from the projects website :/ but do whatever you like | 11:30 |
| papul | MASARUwota: where does it download to? | 11:30 |
| Nicekiwi9 | edeca: with or without the "single" ? | 11:30 |
| MASARUwota | papul: dunno | 11:30 |
| happy | abdelrahman: that was not my question... | 11:30 |
| Younder | nano-, seriosly you don't make any sence | 11:30 |

| APERSON | Is there a pdf reader that is close to evince but supports bookmarks? | 11:30 |
| abdelrahman | happy: nothing in the way of the fans! | 11:31 |
| MASARUwota | APERSON: okular has more functions then evince, i think. | 11:31 |
| happy | abdelrahman: is cpu scaling enabled? | 11:31 |
| Burps | Hi : just installed (ed)ubuntu for the first time : need to lock user : trying gconf-editor, gnme/lockdown, wanted to set restrict_application_launching and allowed_applications (as seen here : http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5310/6mkpbn3up?a=view), but these keys don't exist : what can I do ? | 11:31 |
| ErkRijo | Bom Dia!!! | 11:31 |
| abdelrahman | happy: how do i check that? | 11:31 |
| APERSON | MASARUwota, does it depend on a ton of kde libs? | 11:31 |
| burg | does anyone have any solution for my problem? | 11:31 |
| papul | APERSON: sumatra?? | 11:32 |
| APERSON | MASARUwota, I'm on a netbook and I'd like to keep things to a minimal | 11:32 |
| papul | APERSON: ubuntu isnt minimal ;) | 11:32 |
| APERSON | papul, mine is. | 11:32 |
| APERSON | papul, also, that is windows only | 11:32 |
| j10297116 | it is my first time here. Really nice. | 11:32 |
| papul | APERSON: how did ya make it minimal? | 11:33 |
| om26er- | !hi | j10297116 | 11:33 |
| ubottu | j10297116: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 11:33 |
| APERSON | papul, lots and lots of stripping | 11:33 |
| Crash2108 | Why is it impossible to get help here? | 11:33 |
| Nicekiwi9 | edeca: again, no visable effect. also before this update there was an option on the login screen to slect your "Session" that option is no longer there :S | 11:33 |
| happy | abdelrahman: over heating is a hardware problem. You should get you cpu fan checked out. ect ect. There is a way you should be able to do a temperary fix. I am not sure how to do it. But somewhere under powersave options their should be something about cpu scaling. | 11:33 |
| APERSON | papul, how much space does your install take? | 11:33 |
| abdelrahman | happy: I'm looking at the cpu scaling monitor, and I'm running on-deman | 11:33 |
| om26er- | Crash2108, ubuntuforums.org | 11:33 |
| abdelrahman | happy: I'm looking at the cpu scaling monitor, and I'm running on-demand* | 11:33 |
| j10297116 | thks. | 11:33 |
| happy | abdelrahman: I am a kde person, so I do not know the ubuntu method | 11:33 |
| papul | APERSON: starting from minimal is better choice than stripping | 11:34 |
| Younder | too many CAPS for my liking | 11:34 |
| papul | APERSON: havent checked | 11:34 |
| happy | abdelrahman: in that case. cpu fans :-P | 11:34 |
| om26er- | happy, that would be 'gnome method' | 11:34 |
| DEViUS | someone please help me with my speaker, its mono, but there is never any sound, only when i plug a speakers in the jack then i get | 11:34 |
| DEViUS | ... | 11:34 |
| papul | APERSON: but its bloated now | 11:34 |
| ae86-drifter | you can still use KDE with ubuntu happy ... | 11:34 |
| ae86-drifter | its not one or the other | 11:34 |
| tgillespie_ | hi all, is it possible to run slapd in tls only mode? i tried removing ldap:// from SLAPD_SERVICES in /etc/default/slapd, but this seems to break the whole thing | 11:34 |
| papul | abdelrahman: did ur cpu heated up in win? | 11:34 |
| abdelrahman | papul: no at all! | 11:35 |
| papul | abdelrahman: whats ur current cpu temp? | 11:35 |
| happy | ae86-drifter: ubuntu has kde. They just call it kubuntu. You can only run one at a time, but they can both be on the same install | 11:35 |
| happy | ae86-drifter: you can set it up so one person can log in and get to kde and one can get to gnome. Or decide at login. | 11:36 |
| abdelrahman | papul: well I tried to install lm-sensors | 11:36 |
| papul | happy: how can i install kubuntu on ubuntu?? | 11:36 |
| ae86-drifter | happy, nah kde is a desktop environment which maybe used on ubuntu, "kubuntu" is a package. | 11:36 |
| om26er- | evolution takes alot of screen space and anjal is not yet complete so is there any email client that take less screen space | 11:36 |
| abdelrahman | papul: but it didn't work, it can't detect my sensors for some reason | 11:36 |
| papul | abdelrahman: then how did ya know ur cpu is heating up? | 11:37 |
| zvacet | papul:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 11:37 |
| ae86-drifter | all linux can have KDE | 11:37 |
| APERSON | papul, well, my bloated desktop is running in at about 5GB, my stripped version is running at 2.3GB | 11:37 |
| psycho_oreos | abdelrahman, it also depends on the chipset and the support for it | 11:37 |
| ae86-drifter | abdelrahman, your sensors may be reporting incorrectly, check the bios to see if it reads the same temp as gnome | 11:37 |
| Nicekiwi9 | edeca: any other ideas? | 11:37 |
| nastas | DEViUS: still here? | 11:37 |
| papul | zvacet: will i get kdm instead of gdm?? | 11:38 |
| APERSON | papul, fully updated, some frivolous programs and a hell of a lot of chat logs | 11:38 |
| j10297116 | Watching your talking is enjoyable. | 11:38 |
| ae86-drifter | as soon as it shuts down | 11:38 |
| om26er- | APERSON, my version takes lesser | 11:38 |
| happy | papul: it will ask you which one you want to use | 11:38 |
| abdelrahman | papul: because it gets very hot, and when I press the power button after it shutdowns, it runs for a couple of secs then shutsdown again, I have to wait a while before I can start it again | 11:38 |
| DEViUS | nastas, yes am here =D | 11:38 |
| zvacet | papul: you will get kde | 11:38 |
| APERSON | om26er-, mine would if aptitude would let me remove that darn CUPS | 11:38 |
| om26er- | APERSON, actually 1700mb | 11:38 |
| DEViUS | nastas, my speaker, its mono, but there is never any sound, only when i plug a speakers in the jack then i get | 11:38 |
| vescha | hi | 11:38 |
| abdelrahman | ae86-drifter: how can I check temp in gnome? | 11:38 |
| vescha | is there a way to apply margins like xfce does on gnome? | 11:38 |
| om26er- | APERSON, sudo apt-get purge cups-common | 11:38 |
| abdelrahman | ae86-drifter: I can't do that actually | 11:38 |
| papul | abdelrahman: it may be due to other reasons | 11:38 |
| happy | papul: the package manager asks you which desktop manager you want. I suggest you stick to gdm because it is the one you know | 11:39 |
| zollendar | is there a way i can monitor or sent http requests ? | 11:39 |
| APERSON | om26er-, om26er- does apt-get support wildcards? I usually would do something like sudo aptitude purge cups? | 11:39 |
| papul | happy: i have use kde with archlinux | 11:39 |
| zollendar | is there a way i can monitor sent http requests ? | 11:39 |
| abdelrahman | psycho_oreos: when I run sensors-detect it says no sensors where detected | 11:40 |
| om26er- | APERSON, yes | 11:40 |
| happy | zollendar: I am not sure if it is what you want, but firefox has a great extention | 11:40 |
| abdelrahman | papul: like? | 11:40 |
| zollendar | no on terminal | 11:40 |
| papul | OWW!! i cant install bitchx :( | 11:40 |
| papul | abdelrahman: i dunno but it might not be due to over heating | 11:40 |
| === binitamshah is now known as binitamshah|away | ||
| om26er- | APERSON, but for after removing cups-common open synaptics search cups and remove things excluding lib* | 11:40 |
| papul | how do i install bitchx???? | 11:41 |
| APERSON | om26er-, well, I reclaimed 50MB | 11:41 |
| happy | zollendar: so you want to send an http request? what do you want to accomplish (end result)? | 11:41 |
| papul | not present on repos | 11:41 |
| om26er- | APERSON, do you use samba? | 11:41 |
| zollendar | happy, i have a script that sends http requests, but i want to monitor it and see what it's requesting exactly | 11:41 |
| ae86-drifter | abdelrahman, theres a temp monitor applet you can install for gnome, serch in synaptic | 11:41 |
| APERSON | om26er-, I don't have synaptic :) | 11:42 |
| om26er- | APERSON, probably not sudo apt-get purge samba* | 11:42 |
| happy | zollendar: can you tell it where to send the requests? | 11:42 |
| tolpico | There is some downloading going on from past 15 minutes at 10-15kbps. How can I find which application is doing this? Is there a command which displays all the apps accessing over TCP/IP? | 11:42 |
| papul | isnt bitchx present on the repos?? can someone please check? | 11:42 |
| APERSON | om26er-, yes, though I've been moving some of my shares to autofs+sshfs | 11:42 |
| zollendar | happy, all i want is to see what it's sending exactly, it's huge script and i have no time to read it all | 11:42 |
| happy | zollendar: I do not think there is a way to do that. You can monitor connections (tracked by kernel) but I do not know how to monitor the data | 11:45 |
| zollendar | happy say someone used wget to get something, is there a log that logs this sent http request ? | 11:47 |
| happy | zollendar: you could probably set up a script that logged that a request was sent on port 80 to [ip], but that is about it | 11:48 |
| Hajex | hi.. where I can find update manager in ubuntu Remix? | 11:48 |
| Prateek | #drupal-infrastructure | 11:49 |

| papul | ;) | 11:51 |
| Nicekiwi9 | well this was fun... is the Ubuntu paid support any better than this? | 11:51 |
| StupidandUgly | hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can sync my new ipod shuffle in rhythm box | 11:51 |
| ikonia | papul: not if it's code is outdated for current distros and you can't build it | 11:51 |
| rob_p | zollendar: You could set an alias to the wget command and have the alias run wget with the log option. | 11:52 |
| zollendar | happy it seems ngrep would do it also | 11:52 |
| happy | zollendar: ok, I know nothing about it | 11:52 |
| ae86-drifter | zollendar, there are many apps available to monitor network activity | 11:53 |
| happy | I am looking up a packet sniffer :-\ | 11:53 |
| StupidandUgly | I would be setting it up with fluxbox that is installed on xubuntu, I uninstalled xface | 11:53 |

| linr0ckz | guys any recommendations for screen capture package ? | 11:53 |
| roracle | so every time i log in, the effects are gone | 11:53 |
| rob_p | zollendar: What exactly are you trying to do? | 11:53 |
| happy | rob_p: he has answered that. He wants to know what requests a script makes | 11:54 |
| om26er- | LincKraker, gtk-recordmydesktop? | 11:54 |
| zollendar | i have a script that's sending http request, all i want is to know what it's sending | 11:54 |
| zollendar | rob_p | 11:54 |
| rob_p | happy: Can't he just read the script to find out? | 11:54 |
| rob_p | zollendar: Then just read the script and find out! | 11:55 |
| ae86-drifter | zollendar, use xymon | 11:55 |
| happy | rob_p: he said it was "too big" lol | 11:55 |
| zollendar | rob_p it's to big and written in perl | 11:55 |
| Nicekiwi9 | anyone help me? kernel updates have killed my system | 11:55 |
| rob_p | zollendar: Does it use wget for retrieval? | 11:55 |
| ae86-drifter | Nicekiwi9, choose a deifferent kernel to boot | 11:56 |
| zollendar | no mechanize lib in perl | 11:56 |
| Hajex | hi.. where I can find update manager in ubuntu Remix? | 11:56 |
| Nicekiwi9 | ae86-drifter: ive tried the old one i had befoer the update and it jsut does the same thing as with the new kernel | 11:56 |
| Crash2108 | Ubuntu doesn't work as well as windows. | 11:56 |
| StupidandUgly | my sound in xubuntu is awful all my songs are cracky | 11:57 |
| happy | Hajex: which "remix" | 11:57 |
| rob_p | zollendar: Short of going through the script, you'll probably be stuck with a packet sniffer as suggested. I use tcpdump. | 11:57 |
| Nicekiwi9 | Crash2108: cos its not windows ;) | 11:57 |
| DEViUS | Crash2108, just because you cant get something to work you say that... | 11:57 |
| psycho_oreos | Crash2108, that's like trying to compare an apple and an orange | 11:57 |
| Sacho | My apple doesn't taste like an orange! | 11:57 |

| Hajex | happy : Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 | 11:57 |
| ae86-drifter | xymon is an excellent net mon tool | 11:57 |
| StupidandUgly | I'm trying to play music on rythmbox and the sound is all cracky and awful like, is there anyway I can correct this? | 11:58 |
| psycho_oreos | StupidandUgly, I suspect its an issue with pulseaudio | 11:58 |
| ae86-drifter | it will show usage for that specific script automatically | 11:58 |
| Crash2108 | DEViUS, if you help me get something to work, I'd be glad to retract my statement. | 11:58 |
| happy | Hajex: isn't it in the same place on ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| StupidandUgly | I guess I can download the manager | 11:59 |
| DEViUS | Crash2108, maybe if you would have asked your question directly someone would help.... | 11:59 |
| Hajex | happy : no | 11:59 |
| StupidandUgly | whats up with pulse audio anyway will they ever get flash working seamlessly with ubuntu | 11:59 |
| ae86-drifter | Crash2108, if you prefer windows, then use it, nobody cares | 11:59 |
| Crash2108 | DEViUS, maybe I've tried that for 3 days after trying everything. | 11:59 |
| happy | Hajex: in that case I can only tell you the commandline way. Assuming you can get to the command line. | 12:00 |
| psycho_oreos | StupidandUgly, 1) pulseaudio is a sound system 2) flash is proprietary and must be installed separately because of its licensing issues | 12:00 |
| Crash2108 | I didn't say I preferred Windows, I said it works better. | 12:00 |
| DEViUS | Crash2108, whats your problem? | 12:00 |
| ae86-drifter | Crash2108, you mean you dont know how to make it work better?? | 12:00 |
| happy | Hajex: nm, it is under System->Administration->Update Manager | 12:00 |
| Hajex | no nothing in system at all | 12:00 |
| happy | ? | 12:01 |
| ae86-drifter | Crash2108, thats racist | 12:01 |
| ae86-drifter | please take your racism elsewhere | 12:01 |
| Sacho | dur, what? | 12:01 |
| happy | Hajex: but you see where it says system? | 12:01 |
| StupidandUgly | ugh | 12:02 |
| Crash2108 | DEViUS, I'm using HBo drivers for my 3G card which supports GPS. I think these drivers were integrated into the latest generic kernal. 3G Internet works, and I can enable GPS and view the raw NMEA data with Putty, but for whatever reason GPSd doesn't work with it. | 12:02 |

| Nicekiwi9 | ae86-drifter: Pici appares to be onto somthing | 12:57 |
| Pici | Nicekiwi9: Anything in those files will be used when apt-get does its updates, so if you are seeing extra items that you don't want to see, then you need to look into those files. | 12:57 |
| Nicekiwi9 | Pici: or i could jsut delete all those files? | 12:57 |
| Pici | Nicekiwi9: Assuming you don't want them anymore, sure. Thats up to you though. | 12:58 |
| flexy | MASARUwota: I was actually hoping for a tool to check the badblock inode (or whatever it is called) from the fs after the fsck. Can't seem to find one... | 12:58 |
| Nicekiwi9 | Pici: how would i do that, DOS cmds dont see to work :P funny that | 12:59 |
| mkanyicy | weinmann, no prob | 12:59 |

| MASARUwota | !botsnack | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 13:03 |

| * MASARUwota is confused | 13:52 | |
| hipitihop | how does one load kernel modules automatically on boot ? | 13:52 |
| Xfact | MASARUwota: whatever, that big side box....which we use and 'normally call CPU' | 13:52 |
| * airtonix is too | 13:52 | |
| MASARUwota | Xfact what? :/ Computer, or PC? is that what you are aiming at? | 13:53 |
| mkanyicy | Xfact, hahaha, ok now I remember the computer science guys used to say to us the whole desktop box was a cpu | 13:53 |
| Xfact | airtonix: Modem>Ethernet cable>computer... *Successful connection* :) (I meant that) | 13:54 |
| * airtonix is not amused | 13:54 | |
| MASARUwota | mkanyicy: LOL | 13:54 |
| farciarz84 | is there some tool in ubuntu console that I can get processor usage from? | 13:54 |
| airtonix | Xfact, yes i have that setup | 13:54 |
| llutz | farciarz84: top, htop, ps | 13:54 |
| mkanyicy | MASARUwota, I am not kidding you, at varsity level!! | 13:54 |
| farciarz84 | in cpu_usage; out: 34% | 13:54 |
| MASARUwota | mkanyicy: holy shit D: | 13:54 |
| MASARUwota | farciarz84: use "top" | 13:54 |
| Xfact | airtonix: are you using Ubuntu karmic? | 13:54 |
| airtonix | Xfact, your next question will involve describing the type of modem | 13:54 |
| inferno_daulXEON | Im having a problem. I have an open iptables but I can not ping my windows machine. and my windows machine cannot ping my ubuntu machine. I can ping the windows machine from a laptop. I can ping the router from the ubuntu machine. WHAT do I dooooo | 13:54 |
| farciarz84 | MASARUwota: I need to redirect output to some file so I need only one result cpu_usage | 13:55 |
| Xfact | MASARUwota and akanyicy, yes that computer desktop box.... | 13:55 |
| airtonix | Xfact, ie: my modem is an adsl modem. (and yes i use karmic) | 13:55 |
| MASARUwota | Xfact: you dont call it a CPU, honestly, you dont :/ | 13:55 |
| MASARUwota | farciarz84: this is a general linux question, people here dont seem to answer, so i point you to #linux, the guys there are really knowledgable =) | 13:56 |
| inferno_daulXEON | Help >.<! | 13:56 |
| Xfact | airtonix: you are the right guy to ask then, I am using adsl modem thats connects internet by ISP username and password, but in ubuntu 9.10 is't not connecting... :( | 13:56 |
| Nuker | how to install gnome theme ? | 13:57 |
| MASARUwota | inferno_dualXEON: is your windows box refusing connections with its firewall? maybe? | 13:57 |
| Xfact | MASARUwota: then what should I call it? | 13:57 |
| airtonix | Xfact, my modem handles the authentication (it is also a router and a switch ) | 13:57 |
| mkanyicy | Nuker, use synaptic | 13:57 |
| Nuker | ok | 13:57 |
| Nuker | :-* | 13:57 |
| MASARUwota | Xfact: pc, desktop, computer, "box" just dont call it CPU, as a CPU is something INSIDE a computer :/ | 13:58 |
| inferno_daulXEON | MASARUwota: Nope, the windows machine is cool. I can access its files from my laptop and can access my laptops files from it. Its the ubuntu machine that is bugging out | 13:58 |
| airtonix | Xfact, in my network config i just set my gateway to the ip of the modem/router/switch | 13:58 |
| MASARUwota | inferno_dualXEON: you said you have iptables running? | 13:58 |
| Xfact | airtonix: all mine too, but can you tell me how to set it in karmic to use... | 13:58 |
| zamba | problem with ubuntu after latest karmic update.. gdm won't start.. when i issue service gdm start i get the following error: "start: Unknown job: gdm" | 13:58 |
| macman_ | hi does anyone use dvdautor to make menus ? if so when i try to use it i get a segfault .. any ideas why ? | 13:58 |
| airtonix | Xfact, see the network applet icon in your system tray ? | 13:58 |
| MASARUwota | inferno_dualXEON: try disabling that and retry? | 13:59 |
| airtonix | Xfact, (two arrows pointing left and right ) | 13:59 |
| `BlAdE` | salut | 13:59 |
| inferno_daulXEON | zamba: did you happen to try 'sudo aptitude install gdm' | 13:59 |
| Xfact | airtonix: I set up pppoe (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection with UID and password in 'dsl' tab of network manager.... | 13:59 |
| farciarz84 | llutz: ps -eo %C doesn't seem to work | 13:59 |
| airtonix | Xfact, why? your modem should handle that for you ? | 14:00 |
| zamba | inferno_daulXEON: already installed | 14:00 |
| `BlAdE` | j'ai supprimé, faute de frappe, network-manager-gnome de ma koala karmic. J'ai donc profiter de ce soucis pour jouer avec iwconfig et essayer de configurer ma carte wifi manuellement mais j'ai pas mal de soucis d'utilisation. | 14:00 |
| MASARUwota | !fr|`BlAdE` | 14:00 |
| ubottu | `BlAdE`: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 14:00 |
| Xfact | MASARUwota: but which you are meaning CPU I mean it by calling 'processor' :) | 14:00 |
| `BlAdE` | sry =) | 14:00 |
| MASARUwota | Xfact: you may think that, but you should use words that the general public uses. im not just going to use random words because i like them :/ | 14:01 |
| inferno_daulXEON | MASARUwota: iptables -L shows the proper config. | 14:01 |
| airtonix | Xfact, so you use the dls tab of the network config UI ? (i use the wired tab ) | 14:01 |
| zamba | inferno_daulXEON: did a reinstall, that did the trick | 14:01 |
| soopos | What is wrong in the bash function at http://pastebin.com/m4f3cbe65 ? | 14:01 |
| MASARUwota | inferno_dualXEON checked your hosts? | 14:01 |
| llutz | farciarz84: ps -eo pcpu,xxxxx | 14:01 |
| Xfact | airtonix: I am totally new in 9.10 so set up anyway...(and it's wrong so not connecting) I need guide, but no one can't do that :( can you? | 14:01 |
| inferno_daulXEON | zamba cool | 14:01 |
| llutz | farciarz84: read "man ps" for further info | 14:02 |
| airtonix | Xfact, just remove any entries under the dsl tab and move back to the wired tab | 14:02 |
| Xfact | airtonix: ok what to do in 'wired' tab....I've added a connection, but where to put user id and password? | 14:02 |
| airtonix | Xfact, you dont put any authentication information there | 14:03 |
| llutz | Xfact: if you hava router as you said, you don't need user/pass | 14:03 |
| airtonix | Xfact, adsl authentication is handled by your modem. | 14:03 |
| MASARUwota | !pppoe|Xfact | 14:03 |
| ubottu | Xfact: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE | 14:03 |
| MASARUwota | !botsnack | 14:04 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 14:04 |
| unixcruiser | ? | 14:05 |
| Xfact | airtonix: then my modem will not connect, because it's only accessible by authenticating....my connection provider's rule :( (atleast win XP and Ubuntu hardy doesn't support connection without authentication) | 14:05 |
| Jonathan_L | mkanyicy: Lolz. It seems like it's working now. :) | 14:05 |
| inferno_daulXEON | MASARUwota: I dunno what I should be checking for | 14:05 |
| Jonathan_L | It connected automatically | 14:05 |
| mkanyicy | Jonathan_L, ok | 14:05 |
| MASARUwota | inferno_dualXEON: dunno either, if your iptables and hosts are good then idk | 14:06 |
| Jonathan_L | If NetworkManager works now, so should the rest | 14:06 |
| Floid | Is there a way to convince apt to reinstall all dependencies for a meta-package? (Like ubuntu-desktop after a disk crash?) | 14:06 |
| Jonathan_L | bye | 14:06 |
| Xfact | 'adsl' and 'dsl' has any difference? | 14:06 |
| Jonathan_L | Floid: Reboot to recovery, dpkg repair? | 14:06 |
| Xfact | because I think my modem is DSL.... | 14:06 |
| airtonix | Xfact, yes but nothing concerning the reasons why you have to connect the way you do | 14:06 |
| llutz | Xfact: dsl, better xdsl covers adsl and sdsl | 14:06 |
| Jonathan_L | I just did it 'because I had some issues, it's fixed now | 14:06 |
| Floid | Hm, that's an idea. | 14:06 |
| llutz | Xfact: no difference for you | 14:07 |
| Floid | That won't purge anything, will it? | 14:07 |
| inferno_daulXEON | I have 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 hostname and then all the other computers i have static ips for | 14:07 |
| airtonix | Xfact, my recommendation is either 1) read that link above 2) get a new ISP that doesn't impose such stupid connection policy | 14:07 |
| Dunge | I'm trying to build something, and it seems I got a broken lib in my libtool (I did a lot of not-standard builds tricks before today)... where does libtool know what are the .la files it should check? Is there a file with the list somewhere? | 14:07 |
| Xfact | airtonix: ihey! in that link it saying we have to put our 'username and password' after runnig 'sudo pppoeconf' in the terminal! | 14:09 |
| Floid | Dunge: Google "libtool search path"? | 14:09 |
| airtonix | Xfact, i use ppoe too but my modem handles it for me. far easier | 14:10 |
| Xfact | airtonix: then I think my modem is dump and stupid and your modem is smart! you are lucky! :-/ | 14:11 |
| airtonix | Xfact, follow that link see how far you get | 14:11 |
| Floid | If you have a "router" that usually includes a PPPoE client, is I think what you're saying the confusion is. | 14:11 |
| rollo | it is a common problem in ubuntu to have ridiculosly slow internet through woreles that hardly ever works | 14:11 |
| airtonix | Xfact, but i can't see how that page is different from the dsl tab in the network config window | 14:11 |
| Dunge | Floid : google it and see, no answer there :P | 14:12 |
| smaakage | Is there anybody there can help me with screens? | 14:12 |
| rollo | i have the prblem of not being able to use the internet 90% of the time it will just time out | 14:12 |
| mkanyicy | smaakage, your question is vague | 14:12 |
| airtonix | smaakage, screen or monitors ? | 14:12 |
| Floid | Xfact: The concept is something like [DSL]-[DSL-to-ethernet-bridge-AKA-modem]-[PPPoE client]-[NAT]-[local subnet], if that helps. Sometimes these all live in one piece of hardware or are scattered across multiple boxes (or the PPPoE client can run on the PC itself). | 14:14 |
| Floid | If that helps any. :) | 14:14 |
| * Xfact feeling lots of pressure in just 13 yrs old mind :( | 14:15 | |
| airtonix | best time to start learning | 14:15 |
| MASARUwota | smaakage tries to connect to a screen but it gives him an error, afaik | 14:16 |
| === _dreamy_ is now known as dreamy_ | ||
| Xfact | Floid: whatever you said, I know it's valuable information but I didn't understand, and it's ok and thanks :) | 14:16 |
| Floid | It'll start to make sense the more you poke at it. | 14:17 |
| Floid | PPP is just like on your old dialup modem. | 14:17 |
| Xfact | hummm | 14:17 |
| airtonix | (infact it is the same thing/method ) | 14:18 |

| padi999 | has anyone else also wondered, why there are so many linux-header updates compared to real userspace apps updates in apt-get updates? I find it rather fascinating that there is a core team of kernel developpers totally on crack/speed and litteraly no one fixing bugs in apps. | 14:19 |
| TidyBhoy | how are we all? Is any1 here Connecting to a pptp VPN in Karmic? Im having a bit a bother getting mine running =( | 14:19 |

| kgrandis_ | are there any packages available that have CLI for configuring network settings like those used on first boot? ala dpkg-reconfigure networking or etherconf? | 14:20 |
| Dunge | I don't know why sdl_image try to find libts... and why it's still in libtool configs | 14:20 |

| eFfeM | hi, how can I get sudo to let me in without asking for a password. I have already added eFfeM ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL to /etc/sudoers, but that did not help. anyone an idea ? | 14:26 |
| kadakas | Is it normal that Xorg takes up over 50% cpu and ~300MB of ram? My CPU is dual 2.5Ghz | 14:26 |
| protojay | eFfeM, that seems to defeat the point behind sudo doesnt it? | 14:27 |
| dooglus_ | eFfeM: I'll find out for you - just a moment | 14:27 |
| llutz | eFfeM: what gives "sudo -l" | 14:28 |
| eFfeM | protojay: this is a single user system, I'd rather not always use a root, but don't want the hassle of having to type my passwd every thiem | 14:28 |

| Narc | Hello folks. I need someone's help to figure out why my left click is behaving strangely (when it's behaving at all) since I updated Karmic week or so ago. When the bug appear, I can't click any button or focus windows, right click is not responding too. I tried to set the X server to defaults, turned Compiz and Gnome-Do off, but nothing works. Xev is not registering any events form the mouse. I figured the problem appear depending o | 14:31 |
| Narc | n which program I open first. Mouse works on other OS. Thanks a lot. | 14:31 |
| airtonix | eFfeM, there is more to sudo than just "being something for a multi user desktop" | 14:31 |
| gp5st | acicula: yeah, i just don't know how to do that | 14:31 |
| alienkid10 | can I install software on a user that does not have sudo privileges? | 14:31 |
| gp5st | ::face palm:: just cmd & and it returns immediately then i wait? | 14:31 |
| dooglus_ | eFfeM: maybe you have other lines after yours, overruling it | 14:31 |
| acicula | gp5st: well you could mak a process starter that spawns a new process every 15 seconds? | 14:31 |
| gp5st | alienkid10: from source or with apt? | 14:31 |
| acicula | rather then sleep for 15 secs after your proc finishes | 14:31 |
| alienkid10 | apt | 14:31 |

| gp5st | anyone here know if you can use apt to install a package to a user's home? @alienkid10 | 14:35 |
| airtonix | jmburgess, you can create a desktop launcher that contains something like : 'gksudo xterm -e apt-get clean' | 14:35 |

| gp5st | alienkid10: i don't think so:( | 14:36 |

| alienkid10 | gp5st: how with source when I do make install it install normally? | 14:36 |
| jellow | gp5st: no but you can install it then you can ln -s /app/ it to your /bin folder | 14:36 |

| alienkid10 | jellow: could I set up my own bin and etc and other folders nessacery? | 14:37 |
| acicula | Jennifer_B2: best to stick with drivers supplied with ubuntu | 14:37 |
| Jennifer_B2 | it's for some mobile usb device | 14:37 |
| HtheB | anyone? | 14:37 |
| airtonix | alienkid10, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 14:38 |
| HtheB | could someone convert a .rpm into a .deb ? | 14:38 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: package libc6-dev has /usr/lib/libcrypt.a which has the crypt function in it | 14:38 |
| iceroot | how to see the encoding of my terminal? | 14:38 |
| airtonix | HtheB, why? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | HtheB: that's strongly not advisable | 14:38 |
| acicula | Jennifer_B2: the 2.6 kernel has been around for a looooong time, wether or not the drivers work depends on the drivers. Best to check first if you need to use your own custom drivers | 14:38 |
| HtheB | airtonix, because i cant install rpm | 14:38 |
| ikonia | HtheB: what do you want to install ? | 14:38 |
| ionut | dooglus_: weeeo, thx man !!! apreciate that | 14:38 |
| Jennifer_B2 | also.. I currently do not have internet on my ubunty computer... is there a way to download the packages to get started ( such as to unzip rar files and such) | 14:38 |

| HtheB | a game made with sdl lib | 14:38 |
| HtheB | let me show u the link | 14:38 |
| jellow | alienkid10: Not sure , I suppose so. Would more elegant to make a seperate partition | 14:39 |
| airtonix | HtheB, it helps when asking to initially provide as much information as possibly. also dont use enter as a form of punctuation | 14:39 |
| HtheB | http://narroin.free.fr/dstroy can u take a loot at it airtonix? | 14:39 |
| alienkid10 | jellow: apt would work if they had the folders necessary in their ~ | 14:39 |
| airtonix | iceroot, i assume you are using gnome-terminal ? | 14:39 |

First, I can't boot the new kernel; it stops in normal boot with "Starting up..." and in recovery mode after telling me that my internal hard disk is checked and ok and will be next checked in "x" times. When trying to boot from 2.6.31-16 (the old kernel), I get the x server running, but all ttys are completly empty, except tty1. There stands " | 14:40 |
| jonathan__ | Starting up...", I can't logg in via the tty, only on tty7 (XServer). Any Ideas what went wrong during the upgrade? | 14:40 |
| alienkid10 | jellow: what folders would I need? | 14:40 |
| iceroot | airtonix: gnome-terminal through ssh with the real shell | 14:40 |
| airtonix | iceroot, "real shell" << describe this | 14:40 |

| iceroot | airtonix: /bin/sh | 14:40 |
| gp5st | alienkid10: when you do ./configure you add --prefix=$HOME/bin or somwhere else you have access, then make, make install will put it where the prefix was | 14:41 |
| ikonia | HtheB: I wouldn't try to repackage that rpm - it's got dependencies on specific c++ libraries | 14:41 |
| airtonix | iceroot, commonly referred to as the "execution enviroment" | 14:41 |
| iceroot | airtonix: ok | 14:41 |
| HtheB | depencies? what do u mean? | 14:41 |
| iceroot | airtonix: gnome-terminal is set to utf8, if i am using zsh utf8 is broken, if i am using bash its ok | 14:41 |
| alienkid10 | gp5st: compiling generally take longer then the time I they have on my system | 14:42 |
| jellow | alienkid10: Not sure i undersand , Where apt installs its binaries? | 14:42 |

| jellow | alienkid10: /usr | 14:43 |
| iceroot | airtonix: ah good to know, thx | 14:43 |
| ikonia | HtheB: the software will depend on specific library versions, in specific locations | 14:43 |
| gp5st | jellow: he wants to allow uses to install their own programs though, the issue is write access to /usr | 14:44 |
| gp5st | jellow: chroot each user? | 14:44 |
| dooglus_ | I used to dual-boot between 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. I wiped the 64 bit partition, but don't know whether that's where grub lived. I need to make sure it's installed on the 32 bit partition before rebooting. how do I? | 14:44 |
| alienkid10 | jellow, gp5st: example one ~/bin ~/usr and other folders in the users home folder would apt-get install install packages to the users local ~/bin and ~/usr? | 14:44 |
| gp5st | then they should be able to apt if i recall | 14:44 |
| alienkid10 | updates for system wide packages would happen my me | 14:44 |
| JenniferB | I currently do not have internet on my ubunty computer... is there a way to download the packages to get started ( such as to unzip rar files and such ).. ? | 14:46 |

| gp5st | alienkid10: i would look into chroot jail | 14:46 |

| ubottu | JenniferB: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 14:46 |
| alienkid10 | gp5st: you can't chroot without sudo | 14:46 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: gcc will invoke ld which will pull in that library | 14:46 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: gcc file.c -lcrypt | 14:46 |
| alienkid10 | I use chroot myself actually | 14:46 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: 'man crypt' will tell you to use -lcrypt' | 14:47 |
| P3t3 | hey guys I am trying to get my Epson S20 to work - it's supported by the gutenprint drivers collection. ANyway in the official documentation of gutenprint i see my printer, I don't see it on my system when I choose the driver though | 14:47 |
| ionut | yes but i couldn't install the manpages | 14:47 |
| gp5st | alienkid10: huh? the point of chroot is that each user get's their own little world to play in | 14:47 |
| ionut | dooglus_: i don't know how | 14:47 |
| JenniferB | ubottu, thanks | 14:47 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 14:47 |
| alienkid10 | gp5st: don't they need sudo to chroot? | 14:47 |

I'm at the stage now that it connects but i then my internet traffic freezes... i also notice that a little padlock appears over my wireless signal when it connects (on the NetworkManager Applet)... | 14:47 |
| gp5st | yeah, but you chroot them, then they live there | 14:47 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: perhaps you need to state what you're trying to do, bigger picture | 14:48 |

| ubottu | jellow, please see my private message | 14:48 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: it sounds like you're trying to build some source code, but don't know how to run the compiler... perhaps you would be better off with a pre-built binary | 14:48 |
| acicula | TidyBhoy: post the log and route table on pastebin, the icon means that the connection was sucsesfully setup, so if it breaks your internet its probably because of routing or dns servers that are broken | 14:48 |

| acicula | dns entries | 14:49 |

| dooglus_ | ionut: it's a binary. not really readable for humans | 14:49 |
| jellow | !Kopete | jellow | 14:49 |
| ubottu | jellow, please see my private message | 14:49 |
| TidyBhoy | sorry acicula im new to this.. how i get the log and route table? | 14:49 |
| alienkid10 | isn't chroot text based or is there a way to make the outside user (my user?) invisible to that station? and have the X-session replaced with the chroot? | 14:49 |
| ionut | dooglus_: i got it. so how can i find out the logarithm that linux uses to crypt the passwords ? | 14:49 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: you could try reading the source code of the crypt function, but it's not very interesting | 14:50 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: lots of huge tables of numbers, and swapping bits around | 14:50 |
| alienkid10 | because in that case in a chroot like I do mostly then the user can interact visually with the outside and open a outside terminal | 14:50 |
| ionut | dooglus_: it would be interesting. how can i do that | 14:51 |
| gp5st | alienkid10: i havn't used chroot like that, but i would imagine it would act exactly the same? i'm assuming their using xforwarding so there isn't a big difference betweena cmd line prob and an x prog | 14:51 |
| acicula | TidyBhoy: in a console type route -n, pptp messages go into syslog, but it also posts account info there i think so maybe pastebinning isnt the best idea., does nslookup www.google.com return anything when you have the pptp connection running? | 14:51 |
| mgolisch | man crypt? | 14:51 |
| mgolisch | :) | 14:51 |
| dooglus_ | ionut: enable the source repositories and apt-get source libc6-dev | 14:51 |
| alienkid10 | ah yes they are | 14:51 |
| mgolisch | i think it uses des or md5 depending on the format of the supplied salt | 14:52 |
| aquastar112 | hello :) | 14:52 |
| alienkid10 | so I could do this | 14:52 |
| acicula | TidyBhoy: also are you trying to route all your traffic through the pptp vpn or just access stuff on that vpn | 14:52 |
| alienkid10 | they wouldn't beable to exit? | 14:52 |
| stede | why oci (in php) dont work after i've done all points described here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle ) without any failures? | 14:52 |

| ionut | dooglus_: i've done that. now what follows ? | 14:52 |
| gp5st | alienkid10: I think it should work, it's what it was designed for. no they wouldn't be able to | 14:52 |

When the bug appears, I can't click any button or focus or close windows, right click is not responding too. I tried to set the X server to defaults, turned Compiz and Gnome-Do off, but nothing works. Xev is not registering any event from the mouse. I figured the problem appears | 14:53 |

| airtonix | M2R, there is no good reason to do so | 15:12 |
| iceroot | bluebaron: hm, grub2 is really a strange thing... | 15:12 |
| M2R | so what i have to do? | 15:12 |
| bigpresh | And "why are you using XAMPP" was going to be my next question; I didn't even know there was an XAMPP for Linux, I thought that was just to help people stuck on Windows | 15:12 |
| M2R | uninstall lampp? | 15:12 |
| ivanatora | hello | 15:12 |
| airtonix | M2R, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 15:12 |
| Weric | what a good/best modem for ubuntu? | 15:12 |
| iceroot | M2R: dont use xampp use a real lamp | 15:12 |
| iceroot | M2R: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin | 15:13 |
| M2R | iceroot:then? | 15:13 |
| guntbert | !best | Weric | 15:13 |
| ubottu | Weric: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:13 |
| inferno_daulXEON | bluebaron: yea. I don't know I can ping router and localhost but not any machines. but can recieve pings. and IPTABLES is set to accept | 15:13 |
| ivanatora | is there something wrong to enable root user, disable sudo and use root as it is used in other distros? | 15:13 |
| M2R | OK, i'll unistall the lampp | 15:13 |
| airtonix | Weric one that doesn't require you to use pppoe authentication from the computer (ie one that handles it self ) | 15:13 |
| bluebaron | inferno_daulXEON, i think your issue is a route issue | 15:13 |
| Weric | what a modem that works in ubuntu? | 15:13 |
| porter1 | ivanatora, why? | 15:13 |
| iceroot | ivanatora: you dont need a real root account | 15:13 |
| airtonix | M2R, lamp != xamp | 15:13 |
| jrib | ivanatora: there's not much reason to and will make most of the admin gui inaccessible to you | 15:14 |
| guntbert | M2R: you uninstall the xampp, please use LAMP | 15:14 |
| jrib | s/much/any | 15:14 |
| inferno_daulXEON | bluebaron: route or router? Im pretty sure the router is set right. It hasnt changed and it used to work. untill i reinstalled karmic | 15:14 |
| bluebaron | inferno_daulXEON, if you're getting 30 hops to reach a machine on your local network, it's going outside of the network, ... you might have your gateway as an external ip. should be the ip of your router. pastie.org what you get from # route | 15:14 |
| guntbert | ivanatora: not exactly wrong - but this way is more secure | 15:14 |
| ivanatora | I'm used to have a root account to do the root stuff and also using a separate root account is more secure, IMHO | 15:14 |
| Weric | airstrike: is pppoe required by the modem? i assumed that was something the ISP used | 15:15 |
| jrib | ivanatora: do you know about "sudo -i"? | 15:15 |
| inferno_daulXEON | bluebaron: it didnt jump 30 hops. It didnt get a reply | 15:15 |
| guntbert | !root | ivanatora | 15:15 |
| ubottu | ivanatora: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:15 |
| iceroot | ivanatora: of course its not more secure | 15:15 |
| inferno_daulXEON | bluebaron: unless i fail at using traceroute | 15:15 |
| bluebaron | <inferno_daulXEON> bluebaron: they are all 1 * * * 2 * * *, etc for 30 hops | 15:15 |
| guntbert | !sudo | ivanatora | 15:15 |
| ubottu | ivanatora: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 15:15 |
| ivanatora | now I'm using sudo bash to get interactive su session | 15:15 |
| Weric | OK rephrased again... Anyone use a modem, which modem? | 15:15 |
| bluebaron | inferno_daulXEON, are you wireless? | 15:16 |
| jrib | ivanatora: use "sudo -i" as that's why it exists | 15:16 |
| ivanatora | about security what if someone knows my user account password? he will have root access, too | 15:16 |
| inferno_daulXEON | bluebaron: I can't say I know what that means. -- Everything is wired | 15:16 |
| iceroot | ivanatora: use sudo -i instead of sudo bash | 15:16 |
| jrib | ivanatora: what if someone knows your root password? it's the same issue | 15:16 |
| Quasar1048 | sudo passwd | 15:16 |
| ivanatora | bb to check the man page | 15:16 |
| jrib | !noroot | Quasar1048 | 15:16 |
| ubottu | Quasar1048: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 15:16 |
| Quasar1048 | If they think they know it, change it? | 15:16 |
| iceroot | Quasar1048: we dont support that here | 15:16 |
| Quasar1048 | Oh? I am hardly paying attnention, lol... thought he meant his own shell. | 15:17 |

| routh | Jellow: been diggin in there and no luck. Here's the scenario - I use wireless for internet, however I also have a local wired network with two servers in the room. The wireless MUST be the default for ubuntu, however as soon as I connect the wired network it automatically is set to the default by the network manager, and there is no way to change it in the GUI | 15:21 |

| airtonix | zamba, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 15:21 |
| Quasar1048 | llutz: mine asks for sudo. | 15:21 |
| jrib | zamba: that assumes you want to create one from scratch. Did you mean you want to /rebuild/ an existing package? | 15:22 |
| ivanatora | so you guys, don't think separate root login is usefull and recommend me not to do it? | 15:22 |
| Quasar1048 | And the pass still doesn't changem, actually... | 15:22 |
| zamba | jrib: from scratch | 15:22 |
| jrib | ivanatora: correct | 15:22 |
| zamba | airtonix' link looked right on the spot | 15:22 |
| jrib | zamba: k, ubottu's links then :) | 15:22 |

| jellow | routh: You can remove it on the Wired pannel press on the delete button | 15:22 |
| usr13 | ivanatora: su -i # Will give you root shell. | 15:23 |
| jrib | usr13: s/su/sudo | 15:23 |
| inferno_daulXEON | Is there a way to reinstall all the networking "crap" in ubuntu | 15:23 |
| usr13 | jrib: ? | 15:23 |
| jrib | usr13: "sudo -i", not "su -i" | 15:24 |
| dooglus_ | usr13: he means s/su/sudo/ - it's sed syntax for 'replace su with sudo' | 15:24 |
| routh | jellow: Please reread the secnario - Deleting the connection will make access to that network impossible. I must have access to the network, it just cannot be the default, the wireless must be default or internet requests will fail. | 15:24 |
| ivanatora | usr13, yes, I'm not so concerned in having a root shell as a using it as a separate account (with its own home dir and password) | 15:24 |
| usr13 | ivanatora: sudo -i # Will give you root shell. | 15:24 |
| Quasar1048 | llutz: I normally just go ahead and use sudo for commands... | 15:24 |
| usr13 | ivanatora: Sorry su -i was mistake. | 15:24 |
| llutz | Quasar1048: which is a bad fault in this case since it does something you don't want | 15:24 |
| dooglus_ | ivanatora: "sudo passwd" will set the root password | 15:24 |

| Quasar1048 | Causemosr of the time, yeah, it needs it, lol. | 15:24 |

| Ileden | Hi! My screen doesn't stop cycling thourgh some initialization flickring. I'm trying to fix this by running gnome-panel --replace bfrom TTY6. What do I need to give to --display to do this? | 15:25 |

| Quasar1048 | Cause most* | 15:25 |
| M2R | i have done "apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin" what should I do then? | 15:25 |

| erUSUL | M2R: sudo tasksel install lamp ? | 15:25 |
| ivanatora | jrib, omg silly me, I though root uses the user's home dir :) | 15:25 |
| Quasar1048 | llutz: I always exit out though | 15:25 |
| erUSUL | !lamp | M2R | 15:25 |
| ubottu | M2R: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:25 |
| Quasar1048 | I don't leave it there... | 15:26 |
| Quasar1048 | And I certainly do run irc as root. o. | 15:26 |
| Quasar1048 | do not* | 15:26 |
| jrib | ivanatora: that's why I said « sudo -i » gave you a "sane environment", you'll notice that with « sudo bash » HOME is still the user's | 15:26 |

| jrib | Zorael: then definitely no. That's not the right way to rebuild a package (see ubottu). Also, you should increment the version (dch -i) and append something like "~zorael" to the version string. You'll have to see debian/rules to see what patch system is getting used (I only vaguely remember the details about patch systems myself) | 16:06 |

| grandrew2 | The_shark_001: your computer should wake up by a bios alarm. That should be supported by your bios and you should get some hacky software to modify CMOS alarm dates compatible with your BIOS version | 16:26 |

| Jukselapp | Hey! I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and have never used this OS before. I tried to connect to my wifi network that uses WPA2-PSK. Ubuntu do find this network, but I cant log in to it. It asks for pswd, and I write it in, it takes some time, and it asks for the psdw again. What could be wrong? | 16:29 |

| Pici | cemc: Right click the envelope and click remove from panel | 16:32 |
| cemc | Pici: duh.. :) I looked at that but I thought it will remove all the notification area ;) | 16:33 |
| guntbert | cemc: its called notification area - and as far as I know its not configurable (yet) - I guess you could turn it off within each app... | 16:33 |

| Aled | If I install ubuntu 9.10 from inside Windows XP, does it mean it's running virtually or can I not run XP at the same time? | 16:46 |
| ionut | Aled: yes you can | 16:47 |
| Jonathan_L | If you use the installer for Windows, it's in your boot menu and only one can run | 16:47 |
| Jonathan_L | *one at the same time | 16:47 |
| Aled | ah | 16:47 |
| Aled | thanks | 16:47 |
| ionut | Aled: it runs virtually (for eg with virtual box ,etc) | 16:47 |
| Jonathan_L | It's installed in a virtual file system inside a file in the Windows file system | 16:47 |
| Aled | But I can't run XP at the same time? | 16:48 |
| Pici | ionut: No, it does not. | 16:48 |
| grandrew2 | thanks Pici | 16:48 |
| Jonathan_L | It's better to use the LiveCD to install it | 16:48 |
| Jonathan_L | But you can use the Windows method as well, even though I don't recommend it (performance, dependence on Windows, etc) | 16:48 |

| RalphSpencer | Here it is, Mortal_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/353022/ | 17:26 |
| guntbert | maverick_: edit the grub lines | 17:26 |
| maverick_ | sacarlson: i dont want CPU temperature messages to be spammed, and i googled and found that acpi=off disables it | 17:26 |

| HFSPLUS | EXT3 i believe | 17:28 |

| Mortal_ | huh RalphSpencer it seems weird, but try replacing >& with >> in lines 1325 and 1326 | 17:30 |
| rob_p | maverick_: There should be an example line with no arguments in the quotes. Just fill it in with, "acpi=off" and you should be set. | 17:30 |

| dirk__ | hoi, is there a program to log all the process activities? thx in advance | 17:32 |
| alberto_ | I can't get my Line Input to work properly | 17:32 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, also try service --status-all | 17:32 |
| mediaprodigy | sacarlson: what in particular are you using.. | 17:32 |
| alberto_ | I can hear the signal | 17:32 |
| Diverdude | Deathspike, i explained that in my question | 17:32 |
| alberto_ | But I cannot record anything | 17:32 |
| Abongile | Guest95456: I am new to linux but since I am here and I think I may know something useful here goes: There are many apps that can do just that I say search for the one that suits you. For what you have mentioned you may want to take a look at avidemux or similar, acid::rip or similar and or K3b or similar. Hope that helps some. | 17:32 |

| Ratizar | i have intel wifi it should work out of the box but it doesnt what do i need to do | 17:32 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_ : No 'services' was found, I guess the command isnt known either. | 17:33 |
| RalphSpencer | "The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on what went wrong." Rest same but this errror | 17:33 |
| RalphSpencer | instead of that one | 17:33 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, what do you mean no 'services' was found? did the service tool tell you that? huh | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | mediaprodigy: cool mixing stuf that I could shift my voice or ?? | 17:33 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_: No, the tool doesnt even exist on my system. | 17:33 |
| Diverdude | i have gcc version 4.4.1-4ubuntu8 installed. I am using a program which only supports gcc v. 4.2.0. Is it possible to have both compilers installed on the system simultaneously, so that i can have the old 4.2.0 and the new 4.4.1?? | 17:33 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, 'service' is the standard way of managing services (daemons) in ubuntu... try 'man service' | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | mediaprodigy: lad? | 17:34 |

| maverick_ | rob_p: :D it worked | 17:35 |
| Ratizar | i need wifi help | 17:35 |
| rob_p | maverick_: Sweet! :-) | 17:35 |
| Mortal_ | eh Deathspike I'm not sure, but try sudo apt-get remove gdm | 17:35 |
| maverick_ | rob_p: is the temperature thing a bug? | 17:35 |
| Mortal_ | why'd you remove it though? | 17:35 |

| Deathspike | Mortal_ I dont want to uninstall it, I just want to disable it as I'm running a server and dont need GUI all the time. | 17:35 |
| Mortal_ | ah like that | 17:35 |
| Mortal_ | service stop gdm | 17:35 |
| MrJayBiggie | anybody know how to format a second hard drive? | 17:35 |
| Mortal_ | you'll probably need sudo | 17:35 |
| Bonst4r | gparted? | 17:36 |
| maverick_ | rob_p: ok.. | 17:36 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_ : Hm.. apparently it doesn't know the service, even though it's listed.. twice. | 17:36 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, what about sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? | 17:36 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_: It closes now, but AFAIK it re-appears when I reboot. | 17:37 |
| Guest95456 | poopoo | 17:37 |
| sacarlson | mediaprodigy: just try go into synaptic and search for music | 17:37 |
| Mortal_ | ok Deathspike you'll need to disable it in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories | 17:37 |
| RalphSpencer | Mortal_, you there for me? | 17:37 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_: Sadly, I already did this. It still re-appears :\ | 17:38 |
| Abongile | guest95456: Does it only do that once it has been written to disc or does the same from the harddrive? Have you tried putting the file through avidemux and see if the many options can't solve the problem, It should be in the ubuntu repository so softwre centre or apt-get install should do it for you. Check out: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ | 17:38 |
| Mortal_ | RalphSpencer, sec, I'll just need to read through the script | 17:38 |
| mediaprodigy | sacarlson: thanks | 17:38 |
| sacarlson | mediaprodigy: rosegarden and many others like someone other than me mentioned is there | 17:38 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, check out update-rc.d | 17:38 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_: I used sysv-rc-conf and manual deleting. No entries are around, it still starts. | 17:38 |
| rob_p | Deathspike: use the update-rc.d utility to disable it. Should be, "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" | 17:38 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_ & rob_p: This command throws an error at line 57 :\ | 17:38 |
| RalphSpencer | Mortal_, ok sure | 17:38 |
| Mortal_ | Deathspike, you shouldn't delete it, you need to rename it according to some shenanigans, but update-rc.d should do that for you | 17:38 |
| Deathspike | Mortal_: A reinstall should do the trick for corruption I take it then? | 17:39 |
| Mortal_ | RalphSpencer, I don't know how much shell scripting you know, but searching the script for the string 'The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules' will get you to line 1350 | 17:39 |

| Mortal_ | RalphSpencer, I'm not sure the checks are legitimate and whether the error message is telling the truth, that some kernel module(s) is/are missing, but that could be the problem | 17:40 |
| MrJayBiggie | how do i get my comp to automatically boot ubuntu without it asking to be selected? | 17:40 |

| Mortal_ | RalphSpencer, I don't know which modules are missing... does it say which? | 17:41 |
| RalphSpencer | Nope | 17:41 |

| tjohnt | Hey guys. I need a little help. Im running ubuntu and im trying to create a custom live cd with remastersys that keeps my firefox settings and extensions. the problem is since my .mozilla directory is in my home folder it isnt backed up by remastersys. I would like to know if its possible to change the location of this ./mozilla directory in the about:config or somehow elese. Thanks so much. | 17:56 |
| pea[PC] | macman_, there was no ubuntu partition | 17:56 |

| alberto_ | Xfact It causes me headache | 17:56 |
| pea[PC] | very confused | 17:56 |
| pea[PC] | i installed stuff on ubuntu, it wasn't a live cd | 17:56 |
| Hans_Henrik | if i got a PC with WinXP installed, and i start it from a ubuntu-livecd, makes a compressed archive of the entire XP harddrive partition, if i wanted the entire pc back to the point i did that archive, would it just be to format the harddrive back to the original filesystem and extract the files from the archive? | 17:56 |
| soreau | pea[PC]: If you used the entire disk to install xp, simply install ubuntu and look for the option to let it automatically partition the drives | 17:57 |
| Xfact | alberto_: ooh! You upgraded to karmic, Karmic still having some probs people saying so I would not say it's totally 'stable release' and second, fresh installation is much batter then upgradation, as you can see I am also having problem with upgrade.... | 17:57 |
| soreau | pea[PC]: It should shrink the xp partition and install ubuntu alongside it, then install grub and allow you to select which to load at boot time | 17:57 |
| Abongile | Xfact: Are you using a straight Ubuntu or derivative (Mythbuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, etc)? I'm thinking if it's not mythbuntu which I have nightmares with at the moment how about: apt-get remove gdm, apt-get remove xserver-xorg and the reinstall perhaps going for something apt-get instrall gnome-desktop (that comes with a lot of other apps which mythbuntu does not need.) I am a newbie as well but trying to learn with help of these people. | 17:58 |
| alberto_ | Xfact I had problems both with fresh installation and upgrading. | 17:58 |
| pea[PC] | read what i said though, ubuntu didn't have it's own aprtition | 17:58 |
| totallynotcool | Is there any hope for audio applications not running like crap when they're running in a virtualized environment? | 17:58 |
| soreau | pea[PC]: Read what I said. You need to install ubuntu again | 17:58 |

| Xfact | Abongile: I am using Ubuntu only and first removing gdm completely and then again installing by 'apt-get install gdm' can help...to solve this prob, what you think? | 18:00 |
| Losha | Hans_Henrik: in theory, yes. It depends on how you did the backup. There are backup backup packages that specialize in making 'bare metal restores' to do exactly what you describe e.g. http://www.mondorescue.org/about.shtml. Disclaimer, I have not used any of them | 18:00 |

| Guest68749 | why? pourquoi? | 18:02 |
| Xfact | soreau: I haven't tried reinstalling it yet ,and the problem was after updating karmic softs unexpectedly it blocked my gdm... it's i think will be solved after simple remove and reinstall of gdm.... | 18:03 |
| totallynotcool | bonbon | 18:03 |
| soreau | Xfact: What do you mean it blocks gdm? | 18:03 |
| Abongile | Xfact: give it a short a let me know what happens. I guess my problem is little involved then though I should expect that the experienced users should have a solution but still waiting. My issue is I can remove and reinstall gdm and the xserver but that solve my problem as I think there are some unique linkages to the Xfce desktop mythbuntu uses and it not being initialised. | 18:03 |

| Narc | Hello folks. I need someone's help to figure out why my left click is behaving strangely (when it's behaving at all) since I updated Karmic a week or so ago. When the bug appears, I can't click any button or focus or close windows, right click is not responding too. I tried to set the X server to defaults, turned Compiz and Gnome-Do off, but nothing works. Xev is not registering any event from the mouse. I figured the problem appears | 18:13 |

| RalphSpencer | so it is enabled? | 18:13 |
| morphias | jokuil, is there a way to force a reload of the wireless driver? | 18:13 |
| Abongile | Xfact: I think you are talking about grup the bootloader. The first option is to boot normally into your installation the second is for administrative task hence recovery, you don't get a full x-session (graphical) display in the second cause a lot of apps and services are not initialised but you'll have a terminal for your admin tasks, you have netroot terminal (terminal with networking) so you can do some updates and installations as w | 18:13 |
| jokuil | morphias: you can fix it temporary by unloading and reloading the modules but i didnt get it to work well without using the correct kernel | 18:13 |
| morphias | because tick marking disable/enable doesn't cut it. | 18:13 |

| himanshu_ | i don't know why but some how the audio of my system goes off . i try out play any of the song with vlc or exaile , but audio sounds remains a mute , it comes back only when i restart my system | 18:22 |

| Hydrosis | guiscard: In english, please. | 18:23 |
| Abongile | xfact: what does blocked mean? What happens when you select those options? The latest kernel is usually on top of the list. | 18:23 |

| alokito | Xfact, and you can control and configure plugins from compizconfig-settings-manager, it's not installed by default(afaik) so you should install that too(sudo apt-get ....) | 18:28 |

| Abongile | Xfact: No it doesn't, the experienced gusy will say something about security updates and the later kernel is supposed to be more secure but you can do pretty much everything you need to with an older kernel. And if an app requires the later kernel it will say so, or least in my short time with the OS that's what I have noticed. | 18:28 |

| ejwaxx | Hans_Henrik: i'm experimenting with it right now, let you know in a few minutes if no one gets back to you | 18:29 |
| Hydrosis | maverick_: hell no. I got those files and have no idea how to install them. They are saved on my desktop. This is retardedly hard. | 18:29 |
| alokito | Abongile, the graphics card driver(which compiz needs to function) requires kernel compilation | 18:30 |
| maverick_ | Hydrosis: no, its not as hard as you think, extract the three files first | 18:30 |
| guiscard | Hydrosis, read the INSTALL document it goes straight to the point | 18:30 |

| Xfact | everyone: does anyone think that reinstalling gdm can cause problem in Ubuntu? | 18:44 |

| MerlinW | Xfact, no | 18:45 |
| alokito | Xfact, it shouldn't | 18:45 |
| guntbert | acicula: are you referring to Shwack's problem? did he finally get it sorted? | 18:45 |
| acicula | guntbert: no referring to JenniferB's question and your answer | 18:46 |
| Xfact | and does anyone also think reinstalling gdm can solve any problem related to gdm or it'll remain same until I ma reputing more files with it.... | 18:46 |
| acicula | the password is linked to the encryption key afaik? | 18:46 |
| twocarlo | ubuntu still the reigning king of desktop linux ;is there other linux you think that can beat that | 18:46 |
| Abongile | xfact: I can assure you, that I can fathom anything nasty, there worst is being back where you started. stop gdm /etc/init.d/gdm stop, I just removed and not purged sudo apt-get remove gdm, if you choose to reboot you machine should complain with some loud short beeps and then long as it is shutting down, when you get back in you'll be taken to the terminal loggin prompt, loggin and apt-get install gdm, reboot, sudo apt-get update, sudo | 18:46 |
| acicula | so if you just change the passwd you cant unwrap your key and access your encrypted home | 18:46 |

| FloodBot1 | wrapster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:47 |
| xoom | No, it's all the same - I boot from the LiveCD and run install. It doesn't detect the SATA HD - only USB one. I then continue to boot from this CD and then Ubuntu detects both USB and SATA drive. I then run install once again from loaded Ubuntu and happens the same thing - only USB HD is available to install. But SATA drive does have a Linux partitions on it, along with NTFS and I was able to install SUSE on it. | 18:47 |

| wrapster | that gave me these results | 18:53 |

| Hydrosis | What is OpenGL Rendering and should I enable it while playing NES roms in GFCE? | 19:00 |
| Abongile | daftykins: my challenge is loggin, i can't loggin into a graphical environment. I loggin, the screen flickers and the loggin prompt is retuned. | 19:00 |
| Xfact | Abongile: Ain't your second kernel working...? | 19:00 |
| Deathspike | Hydrosis: OpenGL rendering is the way grapics are handled. Linux is only capable of this and most 2D/3D games are build on it. You want it enabled, if at all possible, software rendering is a bit.. sad. | 19:00 |
| Xfact | Abongile: or you got way? | 19:00 |
| daftykins | Abongile: ah right, sounds like X.org issues - did you clean install Karmic as a base, or did you upgrade install...? | 19:00 |
| guntbert | acicula: on page 2 is stated :This design allows them to change their system password, while eCryptfs simply re-wraps the mount passphrase without needing to re-encrypt all of the home directory contents. - sounds as if the whole thing *should* runn smoothly with passwd too | 19:00 |
| Hydrosis | Deathspike: I usually play games without it on. What difference does it make to have in enabled if the games already work? | 19:01 |
| hekdahl | Anyone that knows how cancel a blacklisted driver? | 19:01 |
| acicula | guntbert: read what it says, it rewraps(reencrypts) whatever it uses to decrypt the system with the login pwd, so it needs to do that when you change the passwd | 19:01 |
| Abongile | Xfact: No it isn't, and that's what's depressing cause I have always been doing that since 8.04 where I at least know that I can drop "back" now no such luck not matter what kernel I choose exactly the same problem. | 19:02 |
| Deathspike | Hydrosis:: It'll take advantage of your graphics card (ever noticed they are directx/opengl capable with some version?) and improve performance. Old games, such as NES games, don't really care about it since software rendering can handle it, but that uses the CPU rather then your graphics card. | 19:02 |
| Xfact | Abongile: so now you are chatting from....? | 19:03 |
| guntbert | acicula: right - I assumed (but not checked) that that was a task of ecryptfs | 19:03 |
| Musen | hi there | 19:03 |
| hekdahl | Hello there! | 19:03 |
| acicula | guntbert: well it is, but you still need to tell ecryptfs at some point : this was the old pwd, and this is the new one | 19:03 |
| Abongile | I am not sure now, I think this was a clean install but I can't be completely sure because of the number of times I have reinstalled my system. Now my issue I have data on both my drives and can't just clean install. | 19:04 |
| Musen | may i ask a quesiton | 19:04 |
| hekdahl | I need help with a driver that stops working everytime i reeboot my computer. | 19:04 |
| guntbert | acicula: it seems so - heads up for now :) | 19:04 |
| Xfact | hekdahl: which driver? | 19:04 |
| emes | can I get a minimal CLI install from the normal ubuntu CD or do I need the minimal CD? | 19:04 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: for the wireless. | 19:05 |
| Xfact | hekdahl: ohh... | 19:05 |
| daftykins | emes alternative disc for that is also an option i believe | 19:05 |
| Abongile | daftykins: I also remove xserver-xorg today and reinstalled, I removed gdm and reinstalled and back exactly where I started. Come to think of it I think I upgraded this one cause DHCP services were running fine in 9.04 and not all with no clue where to find them in 9.10, so I think this was an upgrade | 19:05 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: I was struggeling to get it to work. So i tried with Ndiswrapper. | 19:05 |
| daftykins | Abongile: it might be worth trying to delete/backup the gnome related configs in your home folder | 19:06 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: But then it turned out that i only had to upgrade the kernel. | 19:06 |
| daftykins | i've gotta go cook food now, back later | 19:06 |
| Xfact | hekdahl: well,...difficult | 19:06 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: When i tried with Ndiswrapper i had to run a command like "blacklist BCM43xx | 19:06 |
| Abongile | Xfact: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on Dell Inspiron Mini. | 19:06 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: Can it have something to do with that? | 19:07 |
| Xfact | Abongile: ohh... | 19:07 |
| emes | daftykins: what exactly is the alternate disc? | 19:07 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: Now the ubuntu driver works butt it stops working everytime i reeboot. | 19:08 |
| Xfact | hekdahl: well ,I think I am not the right person to take suggestion about this problem you should ask somebody else... | 19:08 |
| hekdahl | Xfact: Ok then, Thanx anyway. | 19:08 |
| Xfact | hekdahl: :) | 19:08 |
| hekdahl | Anyone hwo is good with wireless drivers? | 19:09 |

| myanex | blakkheim: i'm loading from ubuntu livecd... | 19:18 |

| bastid_raZor | Ubuntu is the best!! out of the box install works; flawlessly. | 19:18 |
| MerlinW | Xfact, thats user error, Karmic way more stable as any ubuntu distro. By the way, 10.4 will LTS, wait for it | 19:18 |
| Xfact | yea... | 19:18 |
| blakkheim | Xfact: if stability is your main concern, why don't you use something like debian or freebsd? | 19:19 |
| myanex | bastid_raZor: not all) | 19:19 |
| bastid_raZor | myanex: every install `ever` | 19:19 |

| coz_ | hey guys... if anyone is interested, I found a site where a fellow created several simple but fairly interesting xsplash animations....you need to go to google translate espiralx.org spanish to english...then click on "share" then on "gnome" and there is a list of items the fellow has apparenlty created for gnome including xsplash | 19:20 |
| bastid_raZor | MaT-dg: i just got my check for helping last month.. you didn't get yours? | 19:20 |
| blakkheim | coz_: why are you advertising here? | 19:20 |
| bastid_raZor | coz_: nice | 19:21 |
| MerlinW | Xfact, the system is very stable. The 3rd party porgs like Gnome, mplayer, etc.. is a different story, they not the Ubuntu fault | 19:21 |
| Xfact | well with stability I also need support it has same value, and Uduntu gives great support, batter then all! and I am not Ubuntu, maybe sometimes I feel unhappy with it's performance, but most of the time it gives me much batter then all! | 19:21 |
| coz_ | blakkheim, if you consider giving users an opertunity to embelish their systems advertising,,,then so be it | 19:21 |
| khaije|amalt | is the ubuntu ppc port competitive with other ppcs ports in terms of features, stability, functionality? | 19:21 |

| ZykoticK9 | Solar_Flare, ISOs contain a file system -- Audio CD do NOT (thus you need to use bin/cue style Imaging, but not regular ISO format) | 20:01 |
| acicula | home: sometimes computers have trouble seeing each other, you could try filling in the computers ip manually | 20:01 |
| lgc | blakkheim, something must have messed up my grub. | 20:01 |

| mkny13 | is it difficult to config it so it DOES do that? Or am I just coming in with Windows assumptions and need to get used to linux not doing stuff like that for me? | 20:05 |

| hey_man | I mean, is it Ubuntu policy to disclose before publishing? | 20:50 |
| airtonix | kamil_sk, i assume you know how to turn on 'simple sharing' within the windows machine ? | 20:50 |

| trijntje | owner, ah I see, ill google again ;) | 20:51 |
| acicula | hey_man: you mean like forward notification of planned patches? | 20:51 |
| owner | What I hope to find is a config file containing the word xsplash or bg_2560x1600.jpg because that config file would control the boot process or at least the xsplash. If there is a file controlling Xsplash then there is probably a file controling whatever comes before it. | 20:52 |

| owner | If we can isolate that file then we can ask it for directions. | 20:52 |
| owner | :D | 20:52 |
| hey_man | well, I mean, do you guys suggest recommended security practices of contacting the vendor first and waiting for a fix before publishing a vulnerability report | 20:52 |
| trijntje | owner, are you sure, when I google xsplash i only get pictures from the ubuntu logo you see just before startup | 20:52 |
| lgc | acicula, Kieran0413, giiker, thanks. I just installed VNC on the Windows side. But there's VNC Server service or user mode, and a bunch of options that puzzle me. | 20:52 |

| owner | here I'll give you a tip. | 20:53 |
| hey_man | I just noticed one of your security team members not following that, and I was confused | 20:53 |
| airtonix | hey_man, it's not cricket otherwise | 20:53 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, you'll probably want service mode if you want it to run all of the time, as I said though if you're running XP Pro/Vista Ultimate or whatever the alternative is for 7 rdp would be a far easier option. | 20:53 |
| Diverdude | it seems one should remove all files using rm -r to uninstall matlab. Do ubuntu have some sort of central register like windows registration database? | 20:53 |
| owner | If you look in the xsplash directory in Ubuntu you won't find it. | 20:53 |
| owner | So it's somewhere else | 20:53 |
| erUSUL | Diverdude: no | 20:53 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, you might be best looking at the docs for whatever vnc server it is you're using otherwise | 20:53 |

| lgc | Kieran0413, I just want to have my Windows display on my Ubuntu. | 20:54 |
| trijntje | owner /usr/share/images/xsplash has the background and the ubuntu logo | 20:54 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, Which version of windows are you running? | 20:54 |
| lgc | Kieran0413, Xp Pro. | 20:54 |
| owner | trijntje you are half right | 20:54 |
| Diverdude | erUSUL, so doing rm-r would be an okay way of deletinga program? | 20:54 |
| hey_man | acicula: nevermind, I'll find somebody | 20:55 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, google how to set up Remote Desktop. Once that's done you can connect directly from the Remote Desktop Viewer on ubuntu with minimal set up | 20:55 |
| acicula | hey_man: you want to complain about personal disclosure practice of someone affiliated with ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| lgc | Diverdude, mind the space between the command and its option. | 20:55 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, should be far easier | 20:55 |
| owner | trijntje it is the background, and the ubuntu logo but only for the xsplash. Before that comes a screen that is black with the white ubuntu logo without the word Ubuntu. | 20:55 |
| hey_man | acicula: yes | 20:55 |
| airtonix | trijntje, xsplash is indeed to thing that controls the starup animation prior to the login screen | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | Diverdude: you should use packagemanagment if possible. you should look maybe matlab installer has an uninstall option | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | Diverdude: becouse i doubt matlab install everytihng under a single folder | 20:56 |
| airtonix | trijntje, actually i was wrong its the animation after the login screen | 20:56 |
| acicula | hey_man: then id start with the person in question or his/her team, though not sure what you want to achieve? | 20:56 |
| owner | trijntje I once thought the file was located in HumanLoginIcons because I found such a logo there. It was too small and changing it did nothing. | 20:56 |
| hey_man | acicula: fair enough | 20:56 |
| trijntje | owner, yes, but you said that that thing was also called xsplash now? | 20:56 |
| hey_man | thx | 20:56 |
| Diverdude | erUSUL, well...there is unfortunately no uninstaller i think | 20:56 |
| FiReSTaRT | guys i'm a bit lazy to do a whole whackload of research.. if anyone is familiar with various media platforms, could you give me a quick 411 on the advantages/disadvantages of running mythtv, boxee and xbmc on a karmic box? | 20:56 |
| owner | trijntje it's just an icon theme for your desktop | 20:56 |
| owner | trijntje there are two seperate splash screens you see durring boot | 20:57 |
| lgc | Kieran0413, Remote Desktop Connection is another app, AFAIK. | 20:57 |
| kamil_sk | airtonix,erUSUL: Thanks guys it works :) | 20:57 |
| wausdu | ameya, nah it does not work. How can I patch that lib? | 20:57 |
| trijntje | airtonix, i believe its both before and after login.. | 20:57 |
| nu1 | I Am receiving a message (capabilities mismatch) in ubuntu one icon. I am using ubuntux64. Is it supported already, or is ubuntu one having problems? | 20:57 |
| erUSUL | kamil_sk: no problem | 20:57 |
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, They're all completely different, myth is TV oriented, xbmc is best for local media (in my opinion), boxee is for 'social' stuff. | 20:57 |
| owner | trijntje one is xsplash (the second one) and one is referred to as "Boot Splash" "X11" or X11 Boot Screen. | 20:57 |
| === funkyHat is now known as funkyBeret | ||
| ddelony | Is Ubuntu one supposed to sync my Tomboy notes? | 20:57 |
| kamil_sk | airtonix: BTW I don't know if I used dimple sharing I just ran the wizard | 20:57 |
| owner | trijntje no one has a name for it yet because they haven't found it. | 20:57 |
| airtonix | kamil_sk, remember that bit next time you setup smb sharing between a windows machine and a linux machine...(it'll save much time) | 20:57 |
| Kieran0413 | lgc, Yeah it is, I assumed you didn't explicitly require vnc since you said all you wanna achieve is viewing of your windows display and for that rdp would be easier, if you require vnc look at the documentation for the vnc server you installed to set it up | 20:58 |
| subspider | hi | 20:58 |
| trijntje | owner, yeah.. That why I cant google for how to change it, it has no name. Crazy stuf. | 20:58 |
| owner | trijntje does that help clear things up? | 20:58 |
| FiReSTaRT | Kieran0413: here's the deal.. i wanna use the computer for local media, network media and as a tv dvr.. i only gave mythtv a quick whirl but couldn't easily figure out how to open local content | 20:58 |
| airtonix | kamil_sk, >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 | 20:58 |
| owner | trijntje now we must become hackers | 20:58 |
| ameya | wausdu, what is the version of libv4l do you have? | 20:58 |
| trijntje | owner, yes, I think we are on the same page again :) | 20:58 |
| FiReSTaRT | Kieran0413: do xbmc and boxee have tv reception and mce remote capabilities? | 20:58 |
| trijntje | owner, we cant be the only two people who want to do that .. | 20:58 |
| erUSUL | FiReSTaRT: boxee and xmbc has no dvr capabilities afaik | 20:59 |
| ameya | wausdu, i guess you will need this patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36154071/add_USBID_064e_a136_for_Asus_UL30.diff | 20:59 |
| airtonix | trijntje, wasn;t this called usplash in prior versions of ubuntu ? | 20:59 |
| owner | trijntje Isn't it ironic that we have to hack an open source project? | 20:59 |
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, I'd just have a play about and see what fits your needs. XBMC doesn't have TV support however it can connect to a myth-backend to watch tv/your recorded shows | 20:59 |
| owner | trijntje and that there is no documentation or boot manager to change it? | 20:59 |
| === funkyBeret is now known as funkyHat | ||
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, So XBMC with a myth-backend may be what you're after, otherwise read up a bit more on configuring myth-frontend :) | 20:59 |
| kamil_sk | airtonix: I hope it'll just work next time :) | 20:59 |
| nu1 | trijntje, owner, you're not, If I had more time I would help :( | 20:59 |
| === mp_lunch is now known as mediaprodigy | ||
| trijntje | airtonix, I dont know, the terms are confusing me.. | 20:59 |
| kamil_sk | Thank once again and goodbye | 20:59 |
| Diverdude | erUSUL, I installed it with: sudo tar -zxvf /tmp/matlabr2008b.tgz so i guess there is no uninstall program right? | 21:00 |
| airtonix | trijntje, does this shed any light on the issue ? >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot | 21:00 |
| karmst | Firestart: XBMC does | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | Diverdude: right; just deleting the folder is enough | 21:00 |
| karmst | I use XBMC personally | 21:00 |
| FiReSTaRT | karmst: so it does have pvr capabilities? what about using an mce remote? | 21:00 |
| owner | trijntje I don't want to say anything negative to get booted or anything but I think canotical is doing some things with their influence on Ubuntu that are not completely open source or necessarily for the good of the community. | 21:00 |
| karmst | yes I use my MCE remote on it | 21:00 |
| nu1 | Is ubuntuone supported for x64 architecture? | 21:00 |
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, It doesn't have its own pvr stuff but as said you can use it in conjunction with a myth-backend to do that, mce remote works fine | 21:01 |
| iceroot | nu1: sure | 21:01 |
| karmst | you need the MCE remote plugin for it | 21:01 |
| Kieran0413 | nullvariable, yes | 21:01 |
| erUSUL | !ubuntuone | 21:01 |
| iceroot | nu1: called amd64 | 21:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ | 21:01 |
| owner | trijntje I'll keep hacking | 21:01 |
| owner | Wha ha ha ha ha | 21:01 |
| trijntje | owner, you think? I dont know, if we find out we have to write a howto ;) | 21:01 |
| lgc | owner, it's "CaNonical", with an "n". | 21:01 |
| FiReSTaRT | Kieran0413: perfect.. and im pretty sure it can take full advantage of the ion chipset :P | 21:01 |
| brontos | where do I set path ENV variables I want recognized when I run sudo? | 21:01 |
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, Yeup, I have it running on an Ion 330, works beautifully ;) | 21:01 |
| trijntje | airtonix, looks promising, thanks | 21:01 |
| owner | trijntje lgc sorry for the spalling errur . I would definitely write a how to as long as I get credit or maybe just a script that does it for you. | 21:02 |
| airtonix | trijntje, you are not talking about this screen are you ? http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=139724&d=1260735745 | 21:02 |
| FiReSTaRT | Kieran0413: guess what i'm gonna run it on ;) i love my new little revo.. it was a beotch setting it up with mythbuntu so i ended up just erasing it and installing straight karmic | 21:02 |
| owner | trijntje with Microsoft's Windows you have to hack it just to get it to work the way you want it to, now with Canotical products it's looking the same. | 21:02 |
| alesan | !acroread | 21:02 |
| nu1 | iceroot, for some reason, I cannot connect to ubuntu one I do not know why. I installed ubuntu for 64 bit, so I thought it was not supported yet or something else... | 21:02 |
| raul_ | do I need an antivirus for linux? | 21:03 |
| alesan | !acrobat | 21:03 |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 21:03 |
| acicula | !virus| raul_ | 21:03 |
| ubottu | raul_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 21:03 |
| nu1 | raul_ no | 21:03 |
| FiReSTaRT | raul_: only if you are sharing files with windows users and you want to protect them from viruses | 21:03 |
| owner | trijntje the only good thing Ubuntu has going for it is that it is very stable, supports lots of apps, and has lots of drivers. | 21:03 |
| Kieran0413 | FiReSTaRT, Yeup, works beautifully though to be honest I've not tried the XBMC with Mythbackend much, only for playing about, seems to work great though, just play around a bit and see, myth can be a pain to configure though so make sure you read the docs | 21:03 |
| alesan | how do I install the adobe acrobat reader? | 21:03 |

| v3n0x | Hi. | 21:04 |
| owner | jellow good idea | 21:04 |
| jcole | i have a scenario im trying to figure out... ive got packages that users install, but i want a "migration" script to run after the install (as the current mortal user logged into gnome) | 21:04 |
| jcole | i notice for kernel updgrades and such, a "reboot is required box" pops up in the tray.. guessing dbus... can someone point me to a shell script example of how to do this? | 21:04 |
| SinDex | Mmmmm Jell-o | 21:04 |
| samuel | Hi | 21:04 |
| FiReSTaRT | alesan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu this page has the info u need on installing acrobat if you dont like opening pdfs with evince (the built in viewer) | 21:04 |

| trijntje | airtonix, Cant view that, i'm not a forum member | 21:06 |
| ddelony | Got a netbook for Christmas and only used the Windows that came with it to download Ubuntu. :-) | 21:06 |
| samuel | its a Dell Studio 15 | 21:06 |
| SinDex | Is there an easy way to restore a previous graphic card config after envyng (and the user :0)) broke the config? | 21:06 |
| acicula | Kieran0413: isnt that till march? | 21:06 |
| karmst | no I just like Ubuntu so much better than 7 after using it for 2 weeks | 21:06 |
| owner | I'm not affraid | 21:06 |
| owner | gunbert | 21:06 |
| Kieran0413 | acicula, Yeah it is, I was just testing though and didn't wanna be greeted with "Blah blah has expired" | 21:06 |
| samuel | but I can't upgrade to 9.10 because it won't boot when I do :( | 21:07 |
| ameya | samuel, what error do you get? | 21:07 |
| samuel | a blank screen | 21:07 |
| lgc | Why won't GRUB let me boot from Windows? | 21:07 |
| Diverdude | hmmm i experience extreme lag on my ubuntu-machine, but when i run top there is not really any processes taking up the processor...How can i figure out what causes the lag? | 21:07 |
| ameya | samuel, do you have any important data in ubuntu 9.04 installation? | 21:08 |
| samuel | ??? | 21:08 |
| tyro | ? | 21:08 |
| acicula | Diverdude: post the top few lines from top | 21:08 |
| FiReSTaRT | lgc: buddy, trust me, you wanna take this up with people on #grub.. i've had a beotch of a time with certain dual boot configurations and they helped me sort them out after hours of headaches :) | 21:08 |
| sooze | http://doiop.com/Girl_hot19 | 21:09 |
| lgc | Diverdude, if your problem is the same as mine, Xorg hogs your CPU dearly. But then it stops. | 21:09 |
| fungos | I'm trying to instal ubuntu 9.10 x86 in a old machine (athlon with vga onboard sis) .. but at the installer I only get a blackscreen .. X is trying to use a invalid video mode or anything else, I also tried to pass the parameter nomodeset to kernel.. but not effect. Anyone? | 21:09 |
| acicula | high disk activity perhaps? | 21:09 |
| ameya | samuel, because if you don't have any important data in current ubuntu installation you can just boot from 9.10 livecd and overwrite the current installation | 21:09 |

| subspider | how do i can install a priter that is being shred buy a windows XP | 21:10 |
| owner | jellow trijntje Ubuntu's explanation in their readme files says that all methods that Ubuntu 9.10 uses to boot and what it executes follows Debian's method. | 21:10 |
| lgc | Diverdude, it means Xorg has some decency left. But wait for the next releases...:). | 21:10 |
| Diverdude | lgc, what is Xorg? | 21:10 |
| airtonix | subspider, you should be able to use it via samba theoretically (i assume) | 21:11 |
| subspider | i-ve being reading tutorials | 21:11 |
| airtonix | subspider, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter | 21:11 |
| trijntje | airtonix, no, we are not looking for the screen that you sent me | 21:11 |
| ameya | Diverdude, Xorg is the X server which supports your graphical environment | 21:11 |
| airtonix | trijntje, then you mean the black and white one prior to login ? | 21:12 |
| Diverdude | ameya, i see...well...thats probably whats causing the problems...i hope it gets better sometime soon | 21:12 |
| trijntje | airtonix, yes | 21:12 |
| subspider | airtonix, so i ahve to install samba on xp right | 21:12 |
| subspider | ?? | 21:12 |
| lgc | Diverdude, it's the graphics engine. But I don't know **** of it. Right now it's taking most of my CPU. It even slows down my typing. The good news is that it'll hopefully stop hogging your CPU all of a sudden. Probably after a couple of suspends. | 21:12 |
| calwig | I have a bit of an issue with ext2/3 | 21:12 |
| ameya | calwig, what is the problem? | 21:13 |
| Diverdude | lgc, what comp are you running ubuntu on? | 21:13 |
| owner | jellow trijntje | Usplash is installed in Ubuntu 9.10 or at least scripts for it. And they are used during start up. | 21:13 |
| owner | jellow trijntje | I have no idea how or why Usplash is involved when Ubuntu clearly states that in 9.10 they don't use it any more. | 21:14 |
| calwig | New HDD 400GB/ Formatted it on ext2/3/4 and transferred nearly 72% of data to it from a live usb ubuntu. So there is one single partition formatted, has files, data is all there. (no operating system yet) | 21:14 |
| domjohnson | Hello | 21:14 |
| lgc | Diverdude, it's a rather old 2GHz Dell Inspiron with 2GB RAM. Not bad, but with a single processor. | 21:14 |

| Maletor | When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? | 21:15 |
| ameya | calwig, ideally you should have left some free space for partition on that HDD for installing ubuntu | 21:16 |
| Diverdude | lgc, i have lenovo t61p with dual core...should be good....but i think ubuntu is rather laggy anyway | 21:16 |
| guntbert | !minimal | tweakt | 21:16 |
| ubottu | tweakt: 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 | 21:16 |
| calwig | So what I have done is boot a Live DVD Ubuntu 9.10 version on this computer with the new 400gb hdd. Session comes up, click on the Install to HDD and when I get to the hdd section, it seems that the partitioner does not seem to see the journaling system (I presume thats what it is) or it cannot write to the drive directly. | 21:16 |
| tweakt | guntbert: THANKS! | 21:16 |
| airtonix | trijntje, i haven't tried this but : http://web.telia.com/~u88005282/sum/installation.html | 21:16 |

| Polta | i've broken a package in apt-get it keeps saying The following packages will be REMOVED linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-13-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-16-generic | 21:16 |
| guntbert | tweakt: you're welcome :-) | 21:16 |
| calwig | ameya, the whole partition is ext2/3 so shouldnt I be able to install an OS this way? | 21:17 |
| calwig | not just an OS but Ubuntu (not XP/VISTA) | 21:17 |
| Polta | but when I try it fails as I already deleted the old kernel by hand how do I fix it? | 21:17 |

| urthmover | guntbert: ok starting it now | 21:17 |
| fisicoecervello | i | 21:18 |

| int203 | any major difference between initial grub2 install during karmic installation and grub2 installation after a later apt-get upgrade? it b0rked my bootloader | 21:18 |
| guntbert | urthmover: when that small window has the focus every keyboard/mouse event is reported | 21:19 |
| lgc | Diverdude, I also have the T60 with dual, but only Windoze there so far. But don't blame it on Ubuntu, it's the Xorg thing. It's some piece of old but continually updated piece of software with many many patches that make it a frankenstein. It's like Windows: flawed by design (I'm reflecting other's opinions here. I repeat I don't know a thing of Xorg). | 21:19 |
| Maletor | When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? | 21:19 |
| Diverdude | lgc, ahhh okay i see....i wonder if there is a way to replace Xorg with something better then | 21:19 |
| trijntje | airtonix, looks old :P But that program is in the repo now, ill try | 21:20 |
| urthmover | guntbert: ok I have it up and strangely both F7 and F11 are not reporting anything ..... very odd (I'm going to test on my other OS to see if its the hardware | 21:20 |
| Polta | does anyone know how to fix my prob? | 21:20 |
| lgc | Diverdude, it's ingrained in Linux (and all unices). Hopefully GNOME or KDE would take over it's low-level functions and come up with a better thing. | 21:21 |
| Hakot | hello can someone help me with teamspeak 3? i cant talk but hear the other users | 21:21 |
| Polta | I deleted linux-kernel-2.6.28-13 by hand and now apt-get wants to remove the module but its broken? anyone? | 21:21 |
| Diverdude | lgc, i see...are there any plans on that? | 21:21 |
| lgc | Diverdude, but that's years away in the best case. | 21:21 |
| Diverdude | lgc, hmm damn | 21:21 |
| trijntje | owner: here it says why it's so hard http://blogs.ubuntu-nl.org/dennis/2006/09/13/more-fun-with-usplash/ | 21:21 |
| Diverdude | lgc, is it a big module? | 21:21 |
| Polta | I guess thats a no then | 21:22 |
| lgc | Diverdude, what's more, you can blame most of your system crashes on graphics-engine related issues. | 21:22 |
| Polta | lol | 21:22 |
| owner | trijntje I'm still not convinced that it uses usplash | 21:22 |
| owner | trijntje every website says it does not. | 21:22 |
| Diverdude | lgc, hmm when was xorg created? | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | Polta, open synaptic /edit /fix broken packages , and it will remove it | 21:23 |

| owner | trijntje I know you can force Ubuntu to use Usplash but that would be a very bad idea. | 21:24 |
| lgc | Diverdude, it's not a module. See it like an onion: on the center is the kernel, then the shell, then the graphics engine, then the desktop systems (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.) and then the applications. Sort of. | 21:24 |
| Kieran0413 | fungos, Only with a reaaaaly old thinkpad T23, not sure that helps though? | 21:24 |
| ameya | calwig, if you can resize / reduce current partition then it will be easy to install ubuntu on newly created free space | 21:24 |
| Kieran0413 | arbri, what are your problems? Just ask and if anybody knows I'm sure they'll help | 21:24 |
| arbri | ok thnx | 21:24 |
| scott_ino2 | Can anyone help me in mounting an ext3 network share? | 21:24 |
| scott_ino2 | I can ssh into it, but would like it to be locally mounted | 21:24 |
| Diverdude | lgc, ohhh i kinda thought that all nix system was as opposed to windows systems module based | 21:25 |
| Kieran0413 | scott_ino2, what are you running on the server, I assume you have samba or something running? | 21:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !info sshfs | 21:25 |
| ubottu | sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2-1 (karmic), package size 41 kB, installed size 148 kB | 21:25 |
| calwig | ameya, I have not tried that yet, but will | 21:25 |
| scott_ino2 | Kieran0413, im using drobo and droboshare | 21:25 |
| scott_ino2 | formated as ext3 | 21:25 |
| Kieran0413 | scott_ino2, Ahh, then I honestly don't have a clue, sshfs may be an option as Dr_Willis pointed out | 21:25 |
| scott_ino2 | everyone else can see it as a network share... "network" in ubuntu doesn't seem to pick it up, but like I said I can ssh into it just fine | 21:26 |
| scott_ino2 | basically i don't want my transfers going over the net, since it's local network, ssh doesn't make sense | 21:26 |
| lgc | Diverdude, Windoze is also layer-based. On the center is DOS and its components and then the graphical interface. I suppose this is a common paradigm of operating systems design. | 21:26 |
| arbri | i've installed ubuntu 9.10 inside windows 7, and untill today everything run smoothly, but today after updating my system (i think th elinux headers were updated) when i try to run linux, it doesnt boot but it gives me a GRUB (bash) shell, anyone knows what i can do? | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: you mean its a SAMBA share? or a NFS share? | 21:27 |
| scott_ino2 | Kieran0413, the documentation say it's using SMB/CIFS so i thought ubuntu would pick it up under "network" | 21:27 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, yes | 21:27 |
| domjohnson | Ok, i added myself to the group "audio" but sound still isn't working...do i need to log out and log back in? | 21:27 |
| guntbert | domjohnson: yes | 21:27 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, according to what im reading it should be viewable as a samba/nfs share, but im wondering the "How" part of that. Like I said windows/mac sees it as a SMB share | 21:28 |
| Kieran0413 | scott_ino2, you should be able to connect to it relatively easy then Places -> Connect to Server -> Service Type: "Windows Share" via gui | 21:28 |
| VCoolio | if I compile a theme engine (i.c. murrine) and then opening an app says 'engine not found', what do I do? | 21:28 |
| owner | jellow trijntje | I uncovered the secrets of Xsplash (other than just it's directories) | 21:28 |
| nu1 | I am receiving a "capabilities mismatch while attempting to connect to the Ubuntu One Server. You may have installed a newer version of the client..." error. Is there any way to correct this problem, or use an older client? | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !samba | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 21:28 |

| harpreet_ | an onscreen keybaord help! | 21:29 |
| arbri | when o try to start ubuntu 9.10, i see only the bash shell, any one knows why? | 21:29 |
| owner | jellow trijntje | We are looking for a file called xsplash.conf first of all. | 21:30 |
| domjohnson | brb | 21:30 |
| nu1 | owner, do you know where is it? | 21:30 |
| harpreet_ | i want an onscreen keyboard help! | 21:30 |
| owner | I'm searching | 21:30 |
| trijntje | owner, pff, that hard? I cant even read code.. I'm asking in #ubuntu-artwork | 21:30 |
| owner | nu1 | 21:30 |
| ameya | arbri, grub (the bootloader) might not be able to locate the correct kernel / initrd image | 21:30 |
| fungos | Kieran0413: are you using that Thinkpad T23 with ubuntu? which version? | 21:30 |
| arbri | how do i tell him where is the correct kernel? | 21:31 |
| qwertyjustin | Hi - is it safe to use ubuntu 5.10 as my new server OS | 21:31 |
| qwertyjustin | ? | 21:31 |
| scott_ino2 | Kieran0413, ok but then am I using the IP or the share name for the "Server" field | 21:31 |
| ameya | arbri, is it bash shell / grub shell? | 21:31 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | This may not directly lead me where I need to go but maybe indirectly. | 21:31 |
| Aquaraptor | 5.10? probably not | 21:31 |
| arbri | yes | 21:31 |
| Dr_Willis | qwertyjustin: 5.10? err no | 21:31 |
| arbri | grub shell | 21:31 |
| qwertyjustin | because of lack of security updates etc? | 21:31 |
| Aquaraptor | qwertyjustin, that and it is just ancient | 21:31 |
| qwertyjustin | is 7.10 still supported? | 21:31 |
| Dr_Willis | qwertyjustin: why bother with one that ole? | 21:31 |
| Aquaraptor | why not use 9.10 server? | 21:31 |
| qwertyjustin | my amd sempron server doesnt seem to support the biggest latest n greatest distros | 21:32 |
| nu1 | I am receiving a "capabilities mismatch while attempting to connect to the Ubuntu One Server. You may have installed a newer version of the client..." error. Is there any way to correct this problem, or use an older client? | 21:33 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | There is a whole list of potential files that I may need to search for. | 21:33 |
| qwertyjustin | mostly just freezes when u pop in the iso discs | 21:33 |
| arbri | ameya | do you at least know of a way i can get my data from my /home directory | 21:33 |
| Diverdude | lgc, so xorg is the weak point of linux? | 21:33 |
| ameya | arbri, i am checking about the grub command | 21:33 |
| arbri | thnx | 21:33 |
| trijntje | owner: can I pm you? | 21:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Diverdude: video card makers not releaseing specs - is the big issue | 21:33 |
| nu1 | owner, I can help you if you list the files | 21:34 |
| trijntje | owner, nu1 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xsplash.conf | 21:34 |
| scott_ino2 | Kieran0413, i can get it to prompt for a password then it fails, and there's only one password haha | 21:34 |
| scott_ino2 | Kieran0413, got it working, should this local now? vs when i was ssh'ing into it? | 21:35 |
| Diverdude | Dr_Willis, ok...so again it boils down to lack of drivers? | 21:36 |
| pawel__ | huhiko | 21:36 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xsplash.conf thanks nu1 I just found it myself | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: the users samba password can be different from their login drivers, 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' to set a samba password | 21:36 |
| ameya | arbri, can you try "linux /boot/v<press tab>" | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Diverdude: it lack of proper support from the HW makers to allow proper drivers to be made. | 21:37 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, i got it ;) im in | 21:37 |
| arbri | yes i get vmlinuz-2...... | 21:37 |
| arbri | a lot filet | 21:37 |
| arbri | files | 21:37 |
| ameya | arbri, or "ls /boot" at grub shell | 21:37 |
| pawel__ | hi yol | 21:37 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, wondering if this will now work locally and not have to traverse the interwebs like it was doing when uploading files via ssh | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: thers cases where you may be better off with nfs or sshfs over samba | 21:37 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ I'm pretty sure whatever we need to find it's in this directory as far as .conf files. | 21:37 |
| arbri | when i do that i get to see the vmlinuz files! | 21:37 |
| pawel__ | is there anyone who knows how to install cloraine | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: ssh to the ip should be direct as samba is. | 21:38 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | I didn't know to look here before | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: sshfs may be slower at transfers.. nfs will poberly be faster then samba | 21:38 |
| ameya | arbri, "linux /boot/vmlinuz-<highest version>" | 21:38 |
| hope | #ubuntu-br | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs is easy to get going however. | 21:38 |
| Diverdude | Dr_Willis, is there at all any prospects of proper support from HW makers in the future? | 21:38 |
| smegzor | My computer (ubuntu 9.10 64bit) has recently started crashing back to the login randomly. Is this happening to anyone else and which log might tell me what happened? | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Diverdude: every so often nvidia and ati make promises... | 21:38 |
| ameya | arbri, after linux command try: "initrd /boot/initrd-<same version>" | 21:38 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, sigh... upload was 225k... im dealing with HUGE files here. | 21:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Diverdude: Intel seems to be giveing better support more and more | 21:39 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: nfs may be worth doing then. | 21:39 |
| Diverdude | Dr_Willis, but they cannnot be held up to those promises? | 21:39 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, I'm not sure that's an option with my hardware | 21:39 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | These conf files don't contain directories. I'm trying to get one of these files to tell me where it is going but they don't. It's almost like they have a command that executes a script that launches the file. | 21:39 |
| scott_ino2 | and the speeds i talked about was before i'm testing now | 21:39 |
| arbri | ameya | ok i'll try many thanks!!! | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | scott_ino2: what does nfs have to do with hardware? If ya got a linux box it can do nfs. :) | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !nfs | 21:40 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 21:40 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | I wish these files were easier to look at. The more I look at them the more they look "closed source" instead of "Open Source" | 21:40 |
| sn[a]ke | how do i repatition my camera? | 21:40 |
| Maletor | When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? (e.g. installing Wine installs several other things (libxxx) yet uninstalling Wine only uninstalls "wine".) | 21:40 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, this is a droboshare.. proprietary hardware | 21:41 |
| sn[a]ke | how do i repartition my camera? | 21:41 |
| arghh2d2 | sn[a]ke: gparted | 21:41 |
| sn[a]ke | arghh2d2, thanks | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | why do you need to partitioon a camera.. is a good question | 21:41 |
| trijntje | owner, yeah, they are chinese to me | 21:41 |
| arghh2d2 | Dr_Willis: heheh, who knows. | 21:42 |
| deserteagle | i have a simple bash question | 21:42 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | how long are you guys going to be on today? | 21:42 |
| deserteagle | how do i pipe the results of an awk'd ls to vlc? | 21:42 |
| thoeger | Maletor: If you are relatively familiar with the command line, aptitude is really good at keeping track of automatically installed dependencies. | 21:43 |
| arghh2d2 | you could maybe put a live usb image on a camera, that way your school librarian thinks your doing something legit with your camera | 21:43 |
| karmst | what torrent client is accepted by most trackers that linux provides? | 21:43 |
| harpreet_ | i want an onscreen keyboard help! | 21:44 |
| deserteagle | all of them? | 21:44 |
| arghh2d2 | karmst: rtorrent works for me | 21:44 |
| JenniferB | how can I see what ports are listening for traffic ? | 21:44 |
| deserteagle | transmission, here | 21:44 |
| karmst | is rtorrent like utorrent? | 21:44 |
| deserteagle | harpreet_, shoot | 21:44 |
| trijntje | owner, I think half an hour? its already night here | 21:44 |
| airtonix | deserteagle, does this help : http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2156 | 21:44 |
| arghh2d2 | karmst: rtorrent is ncurses | 21:44 |
| arghh2d2 | karmst: meaning command line | 21:44 |
| JenniferB | how can I make sure that no known has entered and left a backdoor | 21:44 |
| karmst | ah | 21:45 |
| arghh2d2 | karmst: frostwire is probly what you want | 21:45 |
| harpreet_ | deserteagle: how can i have an onscreen keyboard? i want to type a different language with mouse | 21:45 |
| Diverdude | ok...what is the difference between gcc-4.4 and g++ ? | 21:45 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, try running : onboard | 21:46 |
| karmst | ok but does Frostwire allow encryption? | 21:46 |
| acicula | Diverdude: C vs C++ | 21:46 |
| jacob_ | Hello, I ve been building wordpress sites on a shared hosting with godaddy.com I've just installed XAMPP on Ununtu Server and I have a few newbie questions. 1) where is my root directory or how do I specify. 2) Any suggestions about what I could use to manage aliased domains or DNS. 3) Is XAMPP even a good choice for running my own web hosting? | 21:46 |
| airtonix | arghh2d2, isn't frostwire just linux version of limewire ? | 21:46 |
| deserteagle | harpreet_, hmm.... no idea then. Give cellwriter a try, i know it has onscreen and handwriting recognition, but don't know about it supporting different languages | 21:46 |
| karmst | yeah I really don't want limewire | 21:47 |
| karmst | I want something like utorrent | 21:47 |
| airtonix | jacob_, why are you using xamp and not the lamp provided by the repositories :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 21:47 |
| Diverdude | acicula, ohhhh okay.... i installed gcc-4.4...but i do not have g++. Do I need to install that seperatly? | 21:47 |
| scott_ino2 | karmst, check out deluge, can probably do what you need it to do, very versatile | 21:47 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, woops mistell | 21:47 |
| guntbert | !xampp | jacob_ | 21:47 |
| ubottu | jacob_: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 21:47 |
| harpreet_ | Diverdude: thank yhou | 21:47 |
| scott_ino2 | can be daemon based etc... | 21:47 |
| acicula | Diverdude: i think so | 21:48 |
| acicula | Diverdude: try starting it? | 21:48 |
| Kieran0413 | jacob_, XAMPP is a pretty poor choice if I'm honest, XAMPP is not meant for production environments, just development and testing, you'd be best installing the lamp stack as airtonix said. | 21:48 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, upload is much better with smb :) im on wireless and getting about 350kb/s | 21:48 |
| Diverdude | acicula, i cannot start it | 21:48 |
| jacob_ | AIRTONIX, Tasksel made it realy easy to install lamp but im so dependent on a GUI | 21:49 |
| scott_ino2 | Dr_Willis, so im guessing if i plug in i'll be good | 21:49 |
| karmst | hey yeah deluge looks promising | 21:49 |
| airtonix | jacob_, why? you shouldn't need a gui for lamp | 21:49 |
| karmst | I'm getting rid of my windows torrent server and switching to ubuntu =) | 21:49 |
| blakkheim | jacob_: if you need a GUI for something like that, you probably shouldn't be running any kind of server (no offense) | 21:50 |
| airtonix | jacob_, the only thing you need to know (in 9.10) to control lamp is : start apache2 or start mysql | 21:50 |
| deserteagle | how do i know if a program takes in stout as parameters? | 21:50 |
| arghh2d2 | airtonix: frostwire is one of those super all in one file sharing programs...it's the most bloated of all the torrent clients that linux offers imo, just like utorrent imo | 21:50 |
| qwertyjustin | okay | 21:50 |
| airtonix | arghh2d2, utorrent is hardly bloat. | 21:50 |
| JenniferB | airtonix: where you talking to me ? | 21:50 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, no it was a mistell | 21:50 |
| qwertyjustin | does anyone know how long fedora 11 is supported for? | 21:50 |
| arghh2d2 | airtonix: last time i used it it was | 21:50 |
| g-me | hey all.. I was wondering if anyone could help with ubuntu clients logging into a windows domain and the login scripts running. | 21:51 |
| deserteagle | zOMG! the technoviking is here! | 21:51 |
| airtonix | arghh2d2, pretty sure something that is less than 1mb in filesize doesn;t qaulify for bloat | 21:51 |
| scott_ino2 | qwertyjustin, unless they've changed their support cycles should be two-releases after | 21:51 |
| scott_ino2 | at least that's what it used to be | 21:51 |
| JenniferB | how can I see what ports are open ? listening on traffick ? | 21:51 |
| scott_ino2 | so... 18months give or take | 21:51 |
| g-me | Im aware i will need to create a linux specific script but just havent done this before. | 21:51 |
| feed_me_seymour | If I change an Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS from 1 CPU to 2 CPUs, is there anything I need to do at the OS level to enable multiprocessor support? | 21:51 |
| nu1 | owner, not much :( | 21:51 |
| Melvinov | so u jackasses can't run gta ormw2? | 21:51 |
| Melvinov | why not? | 21:51 |
| jacob_ | AIRTRONIX i've been using GoDaddy.com's shared hosting for a few years and using ubuntu as well as linux mint for desktops I'm ready to take the jump into running my own server instead of 15+ shared hosting accounts i just need a starting place. | 21:52 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, you can use jnettop | 21:52 |
| deserteagle | JenniferB, IIRC, ports aren't opened unless a program requests them | 21:52 |
| acicula | Melvinov: check your language please | 21:52 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | well here is a new development. /usr/bin/ has the xsplash executable. Dosen't do us any good but that's where it is. | 21:52 |
| arghh2d2 | airtonix: my bad, i must have utorrent mixed up with something else. | 21:52 |
| airtonix | jacob_, follow that link i pasted first | 21:52 |
| arghh2d2 | azureus maybe | 21:52 |
| airtonix | arghh2d2, i can think of a few but its been too long since ive used them | 21:52 |
| amikrop | Hello, what is the directory where the default wallpapers are stored in? | 21:52 |
| qwertyjustin | oh perfect | 21:52 |
| qwertyjustin | thanks | 21:52 |
| Melvinov | ubuntu sucks | 21:52 |
| acicula | Melvinov: you can run some windows programs through wine or the commerical cedega/crossover stuff | 21:52 |
| trijntje | owner: dpkg -L usplash shows all locations used by the package | 21:53 |

| jacob_ | AIRTRONIX Thanks | 21:53 |
| acicula | Melvinov: this is not a discussion channel | 21:53 |
| airtonix | jacob_, previous version of ubuntu (and other linux releases ) had you control apache with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | stop | start | 21:53 |
| deserteagle | Melvinov, opinions can be taken to #ubuntu-ot | 21:53 |
| trijntje | owner, can you join #ubuntustudio-devel, someon there knows how to do it | 21:53 |
| jrib | Melvinov: are you going to stop? This channel is for support *only* | 21:53 |
| owner | jellow trijntje nu1 | xslash is what I'm looking at. | 21:53 |
| JenniferB | deserteagle: yes.. but I want to know what ports are open.. listening on incoming traffick.. what ports programs have open? | 21:53 |
| Melvinov | support for suckage? | 21:53 |
| Melvinov | a misnomer | 21:53 |
| acicula | JenniferB: netstat -tulpna | grep LISTEN | 21:54 |
| airtonix | jacob_, feel free to ask in here, i run lamp for my own web development reasons | 21:54 |
| deserteagle | thank you :) | 21:54 |
| acicula | or any variation of netstat that you like | 21:54 |
| deserteagle | JenniferB, oic, then in that case, netstat -n | 21:54 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, i use this command in a desktop shortcut to do this : xterm -geometry 200x124+30+400 -e watch -d "netstat -ntauple" & | 21:55 |
| jacob_ | Airtonix I will thank you. I'm sure you understand the need then to run my own server and not rely on godaddy. | 21:55 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, the relevant part of that is : netstat -ntauple | 21:55 |
| scott_ino2 | jacob_, own servers ftw | 21:55 |
| Diverdude | YEEEEES IT WORKS :D | 21:55 |
| airtonix | jacob_, doesn't godaddy provide virtual servers ? | 21:56 |
| deserteagle | airtonix, niiice thanks! :D | 21:56 |
| airtonix | jacob_, i think a2hosting provide virtual server where you can have ubuntu server installed on it | 21:56 |
| chill3r | anybody rec a good nzb client on ubuntu? | 21:57 |
| Diverdude | i might be extremely slow...but eventually i will get there hehehe | 21:57 |
| JenniferB | there is allot of established connection on wierd ports | 21:57 |
| JenniferB | am I hacked? | 21:57 |
| deserteagle | reboot and run the program again | 21:58 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, which one are you looking at ? netstat or jnettop ? | 21:58 |
| deserteagle | if it still has a lot of ports open, you've got spam :P | 21:58 |
| JenniferB | netstat -ntauple | 21:58 |
| deserteagle | (assuming you've closed all programs that need a connection, except your IRC client) | 21:58 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, look at the program on the far right | 21:58 |
| jacob_ | Airtonix yes but why pay some one else. I have the harware and Business acct with my ISP. I want to learn anyways. I think my business would be more efficient running my own host and understanding it plus i can sell the service to my customers and stop losing money referring them elsewhere. | 21:59 |
| airtonix | jacob_, makes sense | 21:59 |
| JenniferB | airtonix.. I will post on a pastebin.. but I need to do a reboot to clean out some trials with ssh | 21:59 |
| JenniferB | but i will post now.. for fear that the server might not go on ( happend once before) | 22:00 |
| acicula | jacob_: until you have a security issue, you can still manage servers but outsource the actual maintenance | 22:01 |

| malik_ | hi all | 22:01 |
| JenniferB | airtonix: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6615a266 | 22:01 |

| malik_ | what is the use of this cable http://www.budgetgadgets.com/images/proimg/ebay/XMKDG///pic/442/4427/4427.jpg | 22:01 |
| deserteagle | arbri: cd / | 22:01 |

| deserteagle | lol | 22:02 |
| deserteagle | usb through mini-plug? | 22:02 |
| acicula | looks like a 4-pole 3.5" jack to usb without any hardware? | 22:02 |
| JenniferB | I think the established are harmless now that I see it | 22:02 |
| malik_ | for what ? | 22:02 |
| acicula | deserteagle: yeah special usb connector? | 22:02 |
| JenniferB | but what are the time wait ports ? | 22:02 |
| acicula | JenniferB: those are tcp/ip states | 22:02 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, ports which where used previously | 22:03 |
| iAmerikan | Can anyone help me with a mount issue? | 22:03 |
| deserteagle | i'll help you mount ;) | 22:03 |
| sfears | ask away iAmerikan | 22:03 |
| hamzaatova2 | if im looking to take a snapshop of somethiing that can symbole tinyety and smallness in the system of ubuntu what would it be????? | 22:03 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, you'll see every two seconds that when netstat updates the screen you'll see the changes get highlighted | 22:03 |
| arbri | how can i set the root device from the grub shell? | 22:03 |
| deserteagle | arbri: cd / | 22:04 |
| deserteagle | err | 22:04 |
| sfears | hamzaatova2: what are you talking about? | 22:04 |
| deserteagle | nevermind | 22:04 |
| JenniferB | byt running netstat -ntauple ? | 22:04 |
| deserteagle | didn't read the "grub" part | 22:04 |
| iAmerikan | ok :D Well, I'm trying to mount my root directory through the 8.10 livecd | 22:04 |
| hamzaatova2 | i think that all the icons should br changed to something different | 22:04 |
| sfears | i'm not sure arbri | 22:04 |
| iAmerikan | but, it's saying that it can't read the ext4 when my partition is ext3 | 22:04 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, yes, you may find jnettop a bit more sane to give you this information | 22:04 |
| hamzaatova2 | sfears, i want to take a snapshot of sometinh that acn symbolice smallness | 22:05 |
| arbri | i've got problems with grub i cant boot ubuntu | 22:05 |
| deserteagle | iAmerikan, assuming by "root directory" you mean a linux distro: mount -t auto /dev/sdXXX /mnt | 22:05 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, actually i mean this command : watch -d "netstat -ntauple" | 22:05 |
| sfears | mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /folder/to/mount?? iAmerikan | 22:05 |
| hamzaatova2 | in the system | 22:05 |
| deserteagle | replace XXX with the corresponding partition device | 22:05 |
| sfears | define snapshot hamzaatova2 | 22:05 |
| diegoviola | does ubuntu come with ndiswrapper by default now? | 22:06 |
| JenniferB | jnettop is currently not installed.. i only have a console.. it's not grahical or so ? | 22:06 |
| diegoviola | for wireles cards like broadcom, etc | 22:06 |
| Out_Cold | /ns identify Bruce3262 | 22:06 |
| airtonix | jnettop is a console program | 22:06 |

| jellow | Out_Cold: i saw nothing ... | 22:07 |

| airtonix | JenniferB, which is why i use this script in my ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/monitor-connections.sh (http://paste.ubuntu.com/353153/) | 22:08 |
| Out_Cold | lol | 22:08 |
| sfears | you could take a screen shot of linux's market penetration compared to windows penetration hamzaatova2 | 22:09 |
| sfears | that's pretty small | 22:09 |
| Out_Cold | i try to ident from the server window... but it always cuts me off and i paste bits in the chats.. | 22:09 |
| JenniferB | it's pretty nice though.. it shows what the get requests and such.. but it just keeps swishing by.. | 22:09 |
| Dark_Peter | hola | 22:09 |

| Dark_Peter | me puede ayudar alguien a buscar servidores de españa? | 22:10 |
| airtonix | JenniferB, the xterm is there because i use it from a gui desktop, you can just run : watch -d "netstat -ntauple" | 22:11 |

| honky | hi there, i want to make Tomboy Notes startup with my ubuntu - i've found the startup menu in system>preferences but what command should i use because in usr/bin/ i have "tomboy" and "tomboy-panel" but in the shortcut i've created is says in the command "tomboy --search" Which one is correct? | 22:12 |
| mikeb | Hi | 22:12 |
| Out_Cold | honky, just tomboy should work | 22:12 |
| Out_Cold | **/usr/bin/tomboy or just tomboy | 22:12 |
| sfears | honky.. open a terminal window and type commands until you get the desiered output.. then use that command in your startup | 22:12 |
| hamzaatova2 | sfears, im looking for something different ---- and also within the sys | 22:13 |
| mikeb | I would like to kno the name of the encrypted file system i choosed in ubuntu setup | 22:13 |
| sfears | what project is this for hamzaatova2 | 22:13 |
| Darkedge | Anyone here dpkg things? D:< | 22:13 |
| acicula | Darkedge: -i :P? | 22:13 |
| Kieran0413 | mikeb, I can't say for sure but at a guess it's probably dmcrypt | 22:14 |
| Darkedge | acicula: do you want something to dpkg, its only small... | 22:14 |
| Jp82191 | hello guys and girls | 22:14 |
| Kieran0413 | Jp82191, hi there | 22:14 |
| Out_Cold | Jp82191, there are no girls in here... that's just a myth | 22:14 |
| mikeb | its a system-wilde encryption | 22:14 |
| Jp82191 | lol | 22:14 |
| acicula | Darkedge: probably not | 22:14 |
| scott_ino2 | Out_Cold, lol | 22:14 |
| Jp82191 | u never know | 22:14 |
| scott_ino2 | maybe a few... | 22:14 |
| Jp82191 | i have a question for you guys | 22:14 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: hello fellow aussie maybe you should geta cloak :P | 22:14 |
| kyle6513 | hey, I'm having trouble with ubuntu netbook remix running an eeepc 1000H, upon using the desktop stuff it has locked up on me, what should I do? | 22:15 |
| Out_Cold | out of 1419.. probably 3 | 22:15 |
| mikeb | and i would like not to enter the passphrase while booting, like saving it on an usb drive or i dunnow.. | 22:15 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: ALT+CONTROL+Backspace | 22:15 |
| kyle6513 | Darkedge: whys that? :P | 22:15 |
| mikeb | i probably should install grub on an usb pen | 22:15 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: It force restarts X | 22:15 |
| scott_ino2 | Darkedge, didn't they disable that in the last release | 22:15 |
| Jp82191 | Should I get the netbook version of ubuntu for a laptop? | 22:15 |
| scott_ino2 | by default at least | 22:15 |
| Darkedge | scott_ino2: did they? :/ | 22:15 |
| sfears | ctrl+alt+f1 then kdm restart or /etc/init.d/kdm restart kyle6513 | 22:15 |
| scott_ino2 | Darkedge, im about to find out | 22:15 |
| scott_ino2 | yup | 22:16 |
| scott_ino2 | lol | 22:16 |
| kyle6513 | Darkedge: didnt work D: | 22:16 |
| Out_Cold | mikeb, not a wise option... although you can save your passphrase on a usb or sd card so i've heard | 22:16 |
| sfears | ctrl+alt+f1 then kdm restart or /etc/init.d/kdm restart kyle6513 | 22:16 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: thankss | 22:16 |
| sfears | ctrl+alt+backspace sometimes is disabled by default | 22:16 |
| scott_ino2 | Darkedge, you can enable it apparently | 22:16 |
| ubuntu_ | how to get flashplayer for my google chrome? new xubuntu | 22:16 |
| h1 | I made a LiveUSB and then updated packages. I just forwarded when asked a couple of questions - both relating to grub. The 2nd I remember: it asked me something like whether grub should edit sda or sdb. I left both blank. When I then attempted rebooting I got a repeated Fatal message: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/modules.dep. Help please. | 22:16 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: its telling me that it isnt installed? | 22:17 |
| === astechgeek is now known as techgeek | ||
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, if you'[re using the chrome PPA it should recognize your flashplayer_plugin automatically | 22:17 |
| Jp82191 | Should i get Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 or Netbook remix for a laptop | 22:17 |
| sfears | sorry.. try gdm | 22:17 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: yeah, i thought it was gnome ;p | 22:17 |
| scott_ino2 | Jp82191, if it's a normal size notebook get the full desktop, if small netbook say 10" get netbookremix | 22:17 |
| iflema | Jp82191: you could use NBR . you can use regular flavours, theres also moblin/ubuntu remix | 22:17 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: Try PrintScreen+ALT+B | 22:17 |
| ubuntu_ | scott_ino2, what is PPA? i think i am not using that, i got google chrome beta from google site in .deb | 22:17 |
| Aquaraptor | does anyone know of a good keystroke based application launcher? | 22:17 |
| blakkheim | Jp82191: use a minimal iso | 22:17 |
| mneptok | Aquaraptor: gnome-do | 22:18 |
| Aquaraptor | cool thanks | 22:18 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: Otherwise hard-reboot (even though thats the worst thing to do) | 22:18 |
| mneptok | !info gnome-do | 22:18 |
| ubottu | gnome-do (source: gnome-do): Quickly perform actions on your desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2+dfsg-1 (karmic), package size 481 kB, installed size 2140 kB | 22:18 |
| karmst | What server is the Wine IRC chat at? | 22:18 |
| sfears | Aquaraptor: reassign alt+f2 to alt+space | 22:18 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: and if none of those work, I suggest you reenable ALT+CNTRL+Backspace | 22:18 |
| Jp82191 | which would you guys recommend because my old laptop with a 40gb hdd got effed up beyond repair other that re installing the OS | 22:18 |
| sfears | keep forgetting this is #ubuntu.. Aquaraptor - krunner | 22:18 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: what's the CPU, and how much RAM? | 22:19 |
| sfears | or katapult if it's still supported Aquaraptor | 22:19 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, I'm running Chromium dailly ppa, not official chrome releases, so depends on what you want. Chromium=community release of chrome | 22:19 |
| kyle6513 | Darkedge: i can still access panel, but the thingy(for lack of a better word) has locked up, I was going to attempt to switch back to normal desktop mode but, to no avail | 22:19 |
| acicula | Jp82191: 1gb mem or more you probably want the normal ubuntu | 22:19 |
| Jp82191 | ram is less than 512mb | 22:19 |
| blakkheim | Jp82191: a minimal install with a lightweight window manager | 22:19 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: you want Xubuntu | 22:19 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: Can you ALT+CONTROL+F2? | 22:19 |
| sfears | you could try "damn small linux".. runs in 512 memory | 22:19 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: that restarted X, just didnt restart the app in the desktop | 22:19 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, for chromium ppa see here: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 22:19 |
| ubuntu_ | scott_ino2, is chromium better than chrome? supports extensions? | 22:19 |
| acicula | whats the program that elts you set W xor X flags on memory segments of an elf binary | 22:19 |
| kyle6513 | Darkedge: sure can | 22:19 |
| acicula | *lets | 22:19 |
| sfears | i thought that's what you were trying to do kyle6513.. what were you trying to do? | 22:20 |
| Darkedge | kyle6513: login as you, sudo reboot | 22:20 |
| canthus13 | DSL will run wil 64 mb ram and a 486.... | 22:20 |
| patcito | hi | 22:20 |
| patcito | how do I install a new locale such as "en_US.UTF-8" ? | 22:20 |
| sfears | it is damn small | 22:20 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: this is ubuntu netbook remix, theres a thing embedded into the desktop that is a substitute for a er, start menu, and it has locked up on me | 22:20 |
| Jp82191 | what is the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu bcuz on my desktop i have ubuntu | 22:20 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, yes it supports exensions, and i don't know ive only used chromium, works for me, you'll occasionally get unstable builds (since it's a daily build) | 22:20 |
| mneptok | DSL is also not a very friendly distro for those without some Linux experience. | 22:20 |
| scott_ino2 | but you can simply disable it from upgrading once you get a stable version | 22:20 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: Ubuntu uses GNOME for a desktop environment. Xubuntu uses XFCE. | 22:21 |
| iflema | Jp82191: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 22:21 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, to use the ppa, see the part about adding this ppa to your system, and click where it says technical details about this ppa | 22:21 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: but dsl is damn hard to use for newbies :P | 22:21 |
| sfears | i figured that would have reset it kyle | 22:21 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: if you can use Ubuntu with GNOME you'll be able to use Xubuntu with XFCE. | 22:21 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: there's a learning curve, but it's very, very shallow. | 22:22 |
| scott_ino2 | basically you just copy the deb, and deb-src as separate lines in System/Administration/Synaptic then.. under preferences/repositories/click add | 22:22 |
| kyle6513 | sfears: nope, guess not, trying a hard reset then | 22:22 |
| sfears | kyle | 22:22 |
| sfears | sudo reboot from terminal window | 22:22 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 22:22 |
| Jp82191 | im going to go for Xubuntu | 22:22 |
| blakkheim | Jp82191: even xubuntu is pretty bloated | 22:22 |
| iflema | Jp82191: good one | 22:22 |
| albert_ | Hi | 22:22 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 22:23 |
| Jp82191 | ok so im getting Xubuntu Desktop version 9.10 right? | 22:23 |
| iflema | Jp82191 | 22:23 |
| Jp82191 | yeah | 22:23 |
| albert_ | I can't increase refresh-rate higher than 50Hz in ubuntu 9.10 | 22:23 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: yup, unless you want the text-mode installer. if so, get the -alternate. | 22:23 |
| ubuntu_ | scott_ino2, where to add this line? ppa:chromium-daily/ppa | 22:23 |
| sn[a]ke | how can I edit my terminal look ( the way the black part looks ) | 22:23 |
| Out_Cold | blakkheim, nothing wrong with old fashioned WMs | 22:23 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 22:24 |
| [psyk] | sn[a]ke: easy. right click, properties. lol | 22:24 |
| Eraldo | Can someone please help me get Tor running with Firefox in Ubuntu 9.10 64bit? I have followed the instructions from the Ubuntu help site but it does not work | 22:24 |
| Eraldo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor?action=show&redirect=TOR | 22:24 |
| sfears | have had much better luck with the alternate installer assuming ethernet connection mneptok Jp82191 | 22:24 |
| blakkheim | Out_Cold: i only use a lightweight wm | 22:24 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: the text-mode installer uses fewer resources. | 22:24 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, go to System/Administration/Synaptic | 22:24 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 22:24 |
| sn[a]ke | [psyk], where are you getting properties from? | 22:24 |
| iflema | Jp82191 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/9.10/release/ | 22:24 |
| Jp82191 | but im not using ethernet im using Wireless | 22:24 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, then Settings/Repositories | 22:25 |
| [psyk] | sn[a]ke: i know there's something in the right click menu, it's been so long since i've used ubuntu or debian... | 22:25 |
| [psyk] | sn[a]ke: slackware all the way. | 22:25 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: you can configure that easily once the system is installed. and then get the updates. | 22:25 |
| Kieran0413 | sn[a]ke, are you talking about gnome-terminal? | 22:25 |
| albert_ | I can't increase refresh-rate higher than 50Hz in ubuntu 9.10 64bit. It can not work with refresh more than 50Hz | 22:25 |
| nightsjammies | Hey, is there anyone in here that uses the openoffice spreadsheet program? | 22:25 |
| sn[a]ke | right click on my terminal nothing named properties or even close to meaning properties | 22:25 |
| Jp82191 | so which should i get then the alternate or the desktop one? | 22:25 |
| sn[a]ke | yes Kieran0413 | 22:25 |
| sfears | why do you ask nightsjammies | 22:25 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, then click other software tab, then click add, Keep in mind they are two separate apt lines on the website so you'll need to do this twice | 22:26 |
| Kieran0413 | sn[a]ke, profiles -> profile preferences | 22:26 |
| sfears | do you have an ehternet or wifi Jp82191 | 22:26 |
| mneptok | Jp82191: up to you. what's your preference, a grpahical installer or a text-mode installer? | 22:26 |
| [psyk] | sn[a]ke: right click in the title bar, I know there's someplace that you can edit terminal settings for a user... | 22:26 |
| scott_ino2 | or just get the deb, main if you don't care about the src | 22:26 |
| nightsjammies | Because I can't get any help over at the openoffice channel. | 22:26 |
| Jp82191 | Sfears: im using wifi | 22:26 |
| sfears | use desktop | 22:26 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 22:26 |
| nightsjammies | And I can't figure out how to do something. | 22:26 |
| Jp82191 | downloading now | 22:26 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, then hit close and "Reload" then search for chromium in synaptic (make sure it's the browser and not something else) | 22:26 |
| iflema | jP82191: live could be good to see how/if itll go.... | 22:26 |
| sfears | ask away nightsjammies | 22:26 |
| MrKeuner | hello, on hardy is it possible to log in to the wireless network(which requires password and which is saved by netowrk manager applet) without entering any passowrd to unlock the keyring? | 22:27 |
| sfears | i think so MrKeuner.. just cancel when it prompts for the keyring | 22:27 |
| miihackwii | hi all can anyone help me to reinstall Postgresql | 22:27 |
| MrKeuner | sfears, there is already a keyring on it, can I still do that? | 22:28 |
| sfears | miihackwii: apt-get remove --purge postgresql && apt-get install postgresql | 22:28 |
| nightsjammies | I've got a spreadsheet with about 15 columns, and in one of the fields, the text extends beyond the border. If I try and hit 'enter' it won't drop down to the next line. | 22:28 |
| MrKeuner | sfears, at least for once, I have to reboot a laptop and expect it to reconnect | 22:28 |
| ubuntu_ | scott_ino2, i added only one line ppa:chromium-daily/ppa and it worked | 22:28 |
| nightsjammies | Does that make sense? | 22:28 |
| valley | MrKeuner: set the keyring password to nothing, just leave it blank | 22:28 |
| sfears | one way to find out MrKeuner | 22:28 |
| MrKeuner | valley, ah would that work | 22:28 |
| Jp82191 | MrKeuner: if when is starts you make sure to check avaliable to all users you shouldn't get that warning or box when you start up | 22:28 |
| nightsjammies | So then when I Page Preview my sheet, part of the text is cut off. | 22:28 |
| miihackwii | thankyou i will give it a go | 22:28 |
| Jp82191 | thats how i had my wireless set up | 22:28 |
| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, like i said, this is a DAILY build, so be careful, you can turn off getting daily updates through where you added the lines, just turn it off if you dont' want a new version everyday | 22:29 |
| nightsjammies | Oh, and I can't get anything on my wireless, either. | 22:29 |
| nightsjammies | Not sure why. | 22:29 |
| sfears | nightsjammies: there is no next line in a spreadsheet.. you need to adjust the column sizes | 22:29 |
| ubuntu_ | scott_ino2, how to turn off? by removing ticks from those lines? | 22:29 |
| scott_ino2 | checkboxes yes | 22:29 |
| nightsjammies | hmm, I'll try that then. | 22:30 |
| oCean_ | nightsjammies: right-click the cell, and choose format cell | 22:30 |
| sfears | or nightsjammies | 22:30 |
| nightsjammies | OKay | 22:30 |

| sfears | fuzzykittens: i believe overclocking requires some soldering | 22:32 |
| sfears | basilisk: have you used safe graphics mode? | 22:33 |
| basilisk | sfears: what is that? | 22:33 |
| Shiawuon | Which IRC client do you use? | 22:33 |
| fuzzykittens | sfears: a small amount of software overclocking can be done | 22:33 |
| Kieran0413 | fuzzykittens, you'll probably be better served trying to optimize the software you're running, use lighter weight apps/desktop environment, etc | 22:33 |

| dragon | Does it even sound familiar? | 22:33 |
| sfears | basilisk: in the boot menu.. there should be some fkeys options.. f4 and select safe graphics mode | 22:33 |
| fuzzykittens | Kieran0413: server, no gui, that's not the problem | 22:34 |
| basilisk | sfears: for ubuntu or from BIOS? | 22:34 |

| scott_ino2 | ubuntu_, did you make sure you installed chromium-browser and not chromium | 22:35 |
| scott_ino2 | yeahhhh | 22:35 |
| airtonix | dragon, thats because xorg only sniffs nessecary info at boot time. | 22:35 |
| sfears | jpds: k3b for gui.. i suggest learning the dd command | 22:35 |
| dragon | airtonix: It usually works perfectly. | 22:35 |
| MrKeuner | thank you people | 22:35 |
| airtonix | dragon, except when you hotdock it | 22:35 |
| basilisk | sfears: another weirdness factor is that an authentic XP CD will boot, an XP copy will not, and a checksum'd Ubuntu CD will not boot either. | 22:35 |
| dragon | airtonix: hotdock works well 95% of the time. | 22:36 |
| Kieran0413 | basilisk, have you tried burning it on different brand media? | 22:36 |
| dragon | my understanding is that sometimes a program crashes when I hotdock the laptop. | 22:36 |
| nightsjammies | Okay, so how do I enable my wireless now? | 22:36 |
| sfears | basilisk: perhaps you do need to check your boot sequence in the bios or perhaps hit the c key while you boot to enable cdrom/usb boot | 22:36 |

| Jp82191 | lgsploosh: does your motherboard allow it? | 22:44 |
| airtonix | frederick85, then if the adsl connection isnt owned by you and they are ignorant and unwillining to understand the basics of networking there is nothing you can do | 22:44 |

| frederick85 | airtonix: i'm paying for the whole thing, | 22:45 |
| airtonix | frederick85, then do something about it | 22:45 |
| [deXter] | jellow: Changing ports won't help in any way, encryption might, but that's if your ISP doesn't throttle all traffic. | 22:45 |

| Jp82191 | lgsploosh: are you using a netbook? | 22:49 |
| mneptok | lgsploosh: sounds like your BIOS does not support booting from USB. nothing you can do about that, unless a more recent BIOS update adds support for the feature. | 22:49 |
| lgsploosh | I have the cd already. The issue is my harddrive is fried and im using the usb for a harddrive. No its not a net book | 22:49 |

| paissad | what's the average speed rate for rsync if we have fast ethernet cards in the local network ? ... | 23:14 |
| new2ubutnu | just nvidia_new says it's enabled and not in use - which doesn't make sense to me - cause that's the graphics card and if it's not in use - then why can I see my GUI? | 23:14 |
| iflema | macondo: do you recieve errors of cant see file(s)? | 23:14 |
| smiley | paissad: depending if its doing an incremental update or not.. its usually limited to the speed of your network | 23:14 |

| Jp82191 | I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! | 23:36 |
| Chaz | kinja-sheep: I know I can get it alternative ways, just wasn't sure what that was used for. Thanks anyway. | 23:36 |
| kinja-sheep | Chaz: I have mine toggled off since I have no need for sources. | 23:36 |
| Chaz | kinja-sheep: The point is I have it checked but I don't see the sources anywhere. | 23:36 |

| airtonix | sladermen, currently i assume 1) you are logged in already 2) you have access to the files right now (ie you can copy and paste them to somewhere else) | 23:43 |

| EphriamGrey | I just finished putting togther a new box - however, I left my keyboard, cd drive, linux boot flashdrive at home. I have my intel macbook w/ Mac OS X, a monitor, usb mouse, blank usb flash drive. What's the easiest solution to get ubuntu on my box? Also, does, Ubuntu have kickstart, or was that just a red hat thing? | 23:44 |
| babymai | Attempting to fix my Grub MBR Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no ::::::: I checked /boot/grub and indeed stage1 doesn't exist! | 23:44 |
| ja660k | is there a way i can watch .m4v movies on ubuntu | 23:45 |

| Jp82191 | install VLC media player | 23:45 |
| Jp82191 | and it will work | 23:46 |
| ja660k | i did... it doesnt work | 23:46 |
| bmatt | can anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1355610 | 23:46 |
| Jp82191 | ja660k: did you download and install the video codecs? | 23:47 |
| ja660k | uhhh? | 23:47 |
| ja660k | i dont think so | 23:47 |
| ja660k | i can play other video formats? | 23:47 |
| Kieran0413 | ja660k, check restricted formats on the wiki | 23:47 |
| ja660k | okay | 23:47 |
| bmatt | anyone with an ipod touch/iphone? | 23:47 |
| daftykins | sladermen: i've just been googling around for you and can't come up with anything useful at all - it's a bit shocking how there's no obvious way around this. i think you'll need to backup your data, format the /home partition if it's on its' own, then recreate your home folder / reinstall the OS if it's one partition | 23:47 |
| trism | ja660k: should just need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras for m4v | 23:48 |
| chriswaterguy | bastid_raZor & datz: I think the "DSL connection 1" was a false lead. when I click "edit connections" it said that it last connected 5 months ago, so I guess it's old and irrelevant. I deleted it. Auto eth0 still auto-connects, but I can't connect via browser or Skype. | 23:48 |
| sladermen | daftykins, thanks. yeah this really sucks. you'd think there would be a simple "disable home encryption" option somewhere in the system settings if they offer the home encryption in the installation wizard sigh | 23:48 |
| ja660k | how can i do that via cmd? | 23:49 |
| daftykins | sladermen: absolutely | 23:49 |
| trism | ja660k: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:49 |
| ja660k | ahh thanks alot | 23:49 |

| Glowball | Just wondering: the flash plug-in in the repositories, is it still the 32 bit version with a compatibility layer, or did Adobe actually bring out a stable 64 bit plug-in for Flash 10 (I remember to have read the 64 bit support in Flash 10 was only some testing around, with a stable release in Flash 11)? | 23:58 |
| EphriamGrey | I just finished putting togther a new box - however, I left my keyboard, cd drive, linux boot flashdrive at home. I have my intel macbook w/ Mac OS X, a monitor, usb mouse, blank usb flash drive. What's the easiest solution to get ubuntu on my box? Also, does, Ubuntu have kickstart, or was that just a red hat thing? | 23:58 |
| Jp82191 | yeah matt go to that channel | 23:59 |
| kinja-sheep | Glowball: The one in the repo is 32bit with nsdiswrapper. There are native 64bit and it have been in alpha for long time. It worked great for many 64-bit users like myself. | 23:59 |
| Jp82191 | maybe you will get a better response than what i was prepared to give you | 23:59 |
