| === john is now known as Guest85098 | ||
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, realy not something i'M famliar with sorry I can'T help further | 00:00 |
| aliciapg | triple_x: what do you mean? | 00:00 |
| Trizicus | I've added winbind and wins to my nsswitch.conf file and when I try to ping netbios computer it resolves it to dns and not wins. Here is what I get when i ping: http://pastebin.com/m2433380 | 00:01 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_willis Pelo I did that successfully. What I found is that after opening my Gnome-Menu with the "Ubuntu" menu editor it screwed up all my settings. | 00:01 |
| thomc | If my data got corrupted, would that be picked up by fsck in the checks it performs at boot? | 00:01 |
| === cpg is now known as cpg|brb | ||
| JULinuxUser | Dr_willis So perhaps Ubuntu's scripts kill the config files when it creates a user even though it copies them from /etc/skel | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | JULinuxUser: no idea. i never bother with remastering | 00:02 |
| Pelo | thomc, I think fsck mostly check for inconsistencies in the filesystem | 00:02 |
| blackshell | where does the recorded file get saved in vlc? | 00:02 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_Willis I do it so that Windows users aren't terrified by Ubuntu's Default Gnome style. | 00:02 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_Willis users seem to like it. | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | JULinuxUser: i dont bend over backwards for windows users any more. | 00:03 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, when you remaster the cd , you do this within a floder that constains the cd data right ? that's where you should be copying your conf files , not to the filetree of the system you are running | 00:03 |
| triple_x | aliciapg: Mpeg4 part 10 codecs are said to produce the same level of quality as rmvb files just not sure if you can convert rmvb files straight to a MPEG 4 format or will avi lose quality and converting to a MPEG4 leave you with poor video quality | 00:03 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_Willis I have a computer business that is built around bending over backwards for Windows users lol. | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Sucks to be you then. :) | 00:03 |
| * Dr_Willis goes the 'educate them route' | 00:04 | |
| Pelo | Dr_Willis, play nice ,we were all window users once | 00:04 |
| Armageddon | anyone used gnome-shell on KK ? how do you run it, make it run each time you boot, replacing metacity with it | 00:04 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo NO! lol When you use a remastering tool it uses the existing file system to make an image. | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Pelo: actualy i sort of went from AMIGA to linux. :) | 00:04 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, ic | 00:04 |
| Pelo | Dr_Willis, yeah, right , window virgin like I'm gona beleive hat one | 00:04 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo Ubiquity installs everything from the disk | 00:04 |
| w3asal | hey is their an ical for upcoming developer week? | 00:05 |
| aliciapg | triple_x: oh cool thanks i'll look at that | 00:05 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo so wherever Ubiquity decides things go is where they go and where they come from. | 00:05 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, maybe you should look around for a ubiquity channel ? or forum | 00:05 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo So the secret is not to mess with Ubiquity but to find the source files and change them. | 00:05 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo I don't think they would know where the Gnome Panel settings are. | 00:05 |
| JULinuxUser | Pelo Because it just copies a list of files. | 00:06 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, you'd be surprise , but you can also try the gnome chanel, on gimpnet | 00:06 |
| JULinuxUser | good idea | 00:06 |
| JULinuxUser | What is the Gnome Channel? | 00:06 |
| JULinuxUser | #Gnome | 00:06 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, different server | 00:07 |
| Pelo | actualy different network | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Different parallel universe. | 00:07 |

| Trizicus | I've added winbind and wins to my nsswitch.conf file and when I try to ping netbios computer it resolves it to dns and not wins. Here is what I get when i ping: http://pastebin.com/m2433380 | 00:07 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, irc.gimp.org that's the network, and in there just #gnome | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 00:11 |
| Armageddon | anyone used Gnome-Shell ? I need to know how to run safely and how to replace metacity | 00:11 |
| lillis | genii: tried loading both the via and the marvell modules | 00:11 |
| lillis | didnt help | 00:11 |
| Pelo | Armageddon, read up for the instrucitons I gve JULinuxUser on how to get to the gnome channel on gimpnet, they probably know better there | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Armageddon: given how gnome-shell is a work in progreess. it may be best to make a custome.desktop session for it and test it out on a new user. | 00:12 |
| Pelo | I can just image a newbie reading that and assuming that some unsuspecting computer user is going to be a guineapic | 00:13 |

That did not work so someone told me to install postfix which I did but that didn't get me far, probably because I don't know how to set it up. But I have read the docs and asked in #postfix and have no idea what to do. So I was going to remove it and try something else | 00:29 |
| strywgr | Pelo : no luck, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m15d5f567 | 00:29 |
| Nafri | Pelo: ok, so do i've to uninstall the existing menu and install slab or what? sorry i am new to linux | 00:29 |

| maestrojed | Bsims: yeah: I have a personal rule to use the GUI as little as possible. I am trying to learn and get better at my command line. But in this case it might save what few hairs I have left on my head! | 00:45 |

| Bsims | Oh maestrojed you want screen if you use the CL alot | 00:46 |
| Bsims | its a terminal multiplexer for any shell | 00:46 |
| Dark_Helmut | ty | 00:46 |
| Pelo | mattgyver, try booting the live cd and mounting it, see if that helps , at the very least it might allow you to recover the data | 00:46 |
| Bsims | aka tabs with any console | 00:46 |
| mattgyver | Pelo, i was thinking about that. Ill give that a go in a little bit | 00:47 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, yes you can | 00:47 |

| CAPcap | k4kqj, never tried it with my laptop i was always too afraid to screw it up =P but now its totally messed up so im gonna try linux. im so sick of windows | 00:48 |
| Bsims | matthewford: boot to a console and install something else? | 00:48 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, I did the same thing. My just hums along with Ubuntu 9.10 | 00:48 |
| matthewford | Bsims: well gnome was working before, i;d like to stick with it, the login manager just keeps looping though | 00:48 |
| whileimhere | Hi I am having some ubuntu Network issues. I am running wireless on my laptop. When I wanted to switch to wireless I clicked the icon in the upper panel of GNOME and it says Wired Network "Device Not managed" Now I know on the last install I did on here wired had no issues. Why all of the sudden or rather anyone know just how to get wired to work? | 00:49 |
| CAPcap | k4kqj, if i go usb, and set my computer up to accept usb boot, will it run it live or try to install it? | 00:49 |
| Yoman | how do you execute custom commands in lynx? I get these lines at the top on which I am intended to enter my commands (I am guessing), but what do I press to actually execute them? | 00:49 |
| Bsims | matthewford: worst case boot to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 and type rm -r .gnome2 | 00:49 |
| Pelo | Yoman, enter ? | 00:50 |
| Bsims | matthewford: it will recreate your gnome files from scratch | 00:50 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, should run with live install then you can just click on "install" from the live desktop and it'll take it from there. | 00:50 |
| Yoman | Pelo, enter will just put me on the next line | 00:50 |
| mati_croce | someone has problem with your microphones? | 00:50 |

| CAPcap | k4kqj, if it runs fine live and i decide to install, do i need to reformat my drive or wipe it or repartion it or anything first? | 00:51 |
| Yoman | Pelo, ok will try there,thanks =) | 00:51 |
| Pelo | mati_croce, earlier someone came in with mic problems, he just needed to fix the permission, menu > system > admin > user group | 00:51 |
| pasku | hi | 00:51 |
| Pelo | CAPcap, the installer will do that for you | 00:52 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, install will take care of the formatting, you'll have to make some decisions, but it'll walk you through it. Check the Ubuntu documentation for more directions. | 00:52 |
| mati_croce | Pelo in wich group should i be?? | 00:52 |
| CAPcap | k4kqj, so it will boot live first, from there i will have the option to install if i so choose? | 00:52 |
| Pelo | mati_croce, I have no idea the group name, he just used the gui and fixed it like that, from his nick in the gui he selected properties, then the second tab I think and enable the sound / recording related stuff | 00:52 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, yessir | 00:53 |
| imran | Hey guys. I have 9.10 and Im trying to use Compiz Desktop Cube. Have it enabled in Compiz Manager and when I enabled I cant switch my desktops at all anymore. Driver/other effects working fine. How do I configure this? | 00:53 |

| Bsims | matthewford: no problem, now pass that learning on to others with the same problem | 00:54 |
| Pelo | imran, might be that when you enable the cube it starts out with only one desktop check the settings in there for more then one desktop | 00:54 |
| infid | anyone else have an eeepc? mines brand new and has netbook remix installed but the wifi is incredibly weak on it. it's usually at about 64%! How do i increase the signal? | 00:54 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, yes. It'll make suggestions and you can choose or change as you see fit. | 00:54 |
| infid | my laptop is right next to it and usually has 92% | 00:54 |
| jmcantrell | in the evolution tasks in the clock applet, how can i make it show only incomplete tasks? right now, it shows everything. | 00:54 |
| CAPcap | k4kqj, such as? | 00:54 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, the whole install will probably take less than 30 minutes | 00:54 |
| soreau | imran: So you figured out how to get your drivers working? | 00:54 |
| k4kqj | CAPcap, it'll ask you about the partioning of the HD. I just used the default partition and let it go. It's pretty obvious when you start the process. | 00:55 |
| imran | soreau, yes, I just updated from update manager and its working fine now | 00:56 |
| soreau | imran: To know how to use the cube, type this here or come to #compiz: /msg FusioBot cube | 00:56 |
| Baxter1 | Hello people! | 00:56 |

| imran | soreau, thanks that did it! Now, do you know how I can get a more GUI theme for GRUB2? | 00:57 |
| Baxter1 | I'm trying to install onto an old xp box but I only have an old (and damaged but gets into live session (in it now)) Jaunty CD, how do I select a network location as the source for the install files rather than the damaged CD? | 00:57 |
| soreau | imran: Nope, I just know a little about graphics drivers and a lot about compiz ;) | 00:58 |
| kanazky | my computer resolution and color setting are all messed and I have no OS installed | 00:58 |
| kanazky | and it wont let me load anything with graphics | 00:58 |
| kanazky | and its causing me not to be able to install ubuntu | 00:58 |
| Pelo | kanazky, you can install from the alt-install cd , it's a text based installer | 00:58 |
| kanazky | bottom half of screen cut off | 00:59 |
| kanazky | cant see anything after about 3/4 down | 00:59 |
| kanazky | so a text installer would be impossible to read | 00:59 |
| djuggler | When I create an account in magento, by default it is first name, last name, email address, sign up for newsletter, and password. If I want more information there like middle initial, an address, employer name etc is there something that let's me do tha tin the administrator or am I talking about a bunch of custom programming? | 00:59 |
| Pelo | kanazky, could your video card be dying ? | 00:59 |
| Baxter1 | do you have a widescreen monitor? | 00:59 |
| djuggler | skip that. wrong channel | 00:59 |
| kanazky | no way | 00:59 |
| Pelo | kanazky, or your monitor ? | 00:59 |
| kanazky | laptops rather new | 00:59 |
| kanazky | its a laptop | 00:59 |
| daftykins | kanazky: do you have another computer? | 00:59 |
| kanazky | yes | 00:59 |
| kanazky | this one | 00:59 |
| Bsims | kanazky: how new? | 00:59 |
| FloodBot2 | kanazky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | kanazky: actually a text vbased installer may be viewable - since its not using the gfx modes. | 00:59 |
| Pelo | kanazky, still possible, that's what warranties are for | 00:59 |
| daftykins | try VNC'ing the setup over the network kanazky | 00:59 |
| kanazky | my laptop worked fine until i upgraded to 185 nvidia on ubuntu | 01:00 |
| kanazky | now nothing worked | 01:00 |
| imran | soreau, kk ill just ask the whole channel | 01:00 |
| imran | Guys, how do I get a more GUI theme on GRUB2 on Karmic? | 01:00 |
| Pelo | kanazky, the problem would be the driver then, can you boot hte recovery mode and reset x ? | 01:00 |
| kanazky | hte? | 01:00 |
| Baxter1 | Anyone know how to do a network install from the live CD if the data is corrupted? | 01:00 |
| Bsims | Ok kanazky cd /etc/cache/apt/packages, and sudo dpkg -i the older version | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: you can change the background wallpaper for the grub menu . and thats about it at this time | 01:00 |
| iflema | imran: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB%202%20Splash%20Images | 01:00 |

| kanazky | i see grub> grub_rescue> | 01:01 |

| imran | Dr_Willis, iflema, Pelo, thanks :D | 01:01 |
| Pelo | kanazky, have youtried booting the live cd , does the computer work with that ? | 01:01 |
| kanazky | yes | 01:02 |

| kanazky | by* | 01:02 |
| Pelo | kanazky, so the live desktop session doesn't work for you ? | 01:02 |
| kanazky | no | 01:02 |
| RandomUsr | does anyone have decent experience with Samba? | 01:02 |
| kanazky | i get white stripes and fuzzyness | 01:02 |
| kanazky | and it just does nothing | 01:02 |
| Pelo | kanazky, i,m thinking hardware problem here, I don'T think a reinstall will do anything | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: its very well documented and theres 10000's+ of people that use it | 01:03 |
| kanazky | what could of caused it | 01:03 |
| kanazky | cause it was working 100% normal | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | kanazky: if a live cd that used to work - no longer does.. well.. that souinds like a hardware issue | 01:03 |
| Pelo | kanazky, maybe the driver caused a problem and damaged your video chip no idea , | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | kanazky: try some other live cd's | 01:03 |
| kanazky | i've tried windows as well | 01:03 |
| kanazky | my laptops just rejecting everything | 01:04 |
| kanazky | but shouldnt these live cds work with no graphics card anyway? | 01:04 |
| RandomUsr | Dr_Willis, I'm not able to connect using smbclient from Linux to a window's share | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kanazky: and windows has the same issue? You are not really telling us much actual information | 01:04 |
| imran | Last question; isn't there a plugin to make your Desktop Cube like a fishtank, if so where? | 01:04 |
| RandomUsr | Dr_Willis, could you provide some guidance? | 01:04 |
| Pelo | kanazky, can you get in the bios ? is that display the way it should be ? | 01:04 |
| kanazky | yes | 01:04 |
| kanazky | but colors are messed | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: try connecting via ip not the machine name. | 01:04 |
| kanazky | but i can read it | 01:04 |
| kanazky | and it stretches down past moniters length | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | kanazky: if windows has the same issue - sounds like bad hardware to me. Try plugging in a external monitor | 01:05 |
| RandomUsr | Dr_Willis, do you think that dns issues are common? | 01:05 |
| Pelo | kanazky, the bois had bad colours ? you have hardware problems , nothing to do with the os or the drivers | 01:05 |
| kanazky | ok | 01:05 |
| enhickman | imran: yes i think so, i dont know where it is, i dont think it was stable | 01:05 |
| kanazky | how would i go about fixing it | 01:05 |
| kanazky | ? | 01:05 |
| imran | enhickman, thanks D: | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: samba takes tgweaking to use DNS proplery. it has its own alternative. I just cheat and edit the /etc/hosts with the right ip/names most of the time | 01:05 |
| Pelo | kanazky, hardware problems you go to the store and ask for a replacement or sent it to the manufacturer for repair | 01:06 |
| kanazky | what part of my hardware do you think i need to replace? | 01:06 |
| Trizicus | How do I setup samba/nsswitch to use wins. I've added wins to nsswitch and ping appends to a dns server I don't have specified. How do I fix? | 01:06 |
| RandomUsr | Dr_Willis, would you look at that? it works | 01:06 |
| Pelo | kanazky, assuming it 's still on warranty | 01:06 |
| kanazky | no | 01:06 |
| Bsims | Dr_Willis: to take your cheat a step farther, set up dyndns for each host and use that | 01:06 |
| kanazky | and im a university student | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Bsims: for samba - No... | 01:06 |

| Bsims | Dr_Willis: true... just a thought | 01:07 |

| PureRumble | is there a chat room for general development questions? php, c++, projects, big projects.... ? | 01:07 |

| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: Ive had issues with windiows/linux box's and samba lately. seesm to work better now that i enabled the wins server featuire in teh samba configs. | 01:07 |
| Pelo | kanazky, there is only so much we can do for you online, you need someone knowlegable to look at your computer and see if they can'T find anything to be done with it | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: i was able to access via ip. but not hostname - now that i got wins enabled. its working via hostname | 01:07 |

| TheMozart | neezer: run older kernel and tel me if it works | 02:02 |
| Pelo | hdon, it's been around for a while we police the channel, if anyone tries they'll get banned | 02:02 |
| neezer | TheMozart: will I still be running 9.10 if I run the old kernel? or will I go back to 9.04 if i run the older kernel. | 02:02 |
| pibarnas | komputes: it doesnt create a bootable sd. it simply doent write on it. it fails. | 02:02 |

| yUraKeshi | i just installed avg-free for linux, but i'm not able to use it's commands, what should i do? | 02:03 |
| TNA5000 | hi room, I've had something interesting happen. When I log in to Ubuntu 9.10 it looks like it is about to log in, then it goes back to the login screen. The password is correct (if i put the wrong password it tells me right away), but this is different, it just looks like it logs in, then brings me right back to the login screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? | 02:03 |
| komputes | afroman: you can do that too, I don't think that printer is supported by linux/CUPS, looking into it now | 02:03 |
| Pelo | TNA5000, caplocks ? | 02:03 |
| afroman | komputes: thx | 02:03 |
| TNA5000 | no | 02:03 |
| Awesome300 | flexible you need to mount /dev/sdb2 and install grub where you mounted | 02:03 |

| Pelo | ? | 02:04 |

| Guest14 | I am trying to get openbox set up for the first time, can someone help me install a panel? | 02:04 |
| komputes | afroman: not in this list - I can add it as not working out of the box: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersCanon | 02:04 |

| user123 | has anyone installed multisim in ubuntu using wine? or is there a linux version? | 02:05 |
| linkz0r1 | hey, i bought a usb wireless adapter and i was trying to set my computer as a wi-fi spot and share my ADSL connection through it. Can anyone point me to the right direction? | 02:05 |
| flexible | Awesome300: GParted only gives me the option to unmount | 02:05 |
| pibarnas | komputes: isnt unr iso better for the netbook? | 02:05 |
| linkz0r1 | user123, i doubt there would be a linux version of multisim :p | 02:05 |
| Pelo | flexible, that«,s because gparted won'T let you do anyting to a mounted partition, you need to unmount it first | 02:06 |
| Awesome300 | flexible Do you know where it is mounted | 02:06 |
| komputes | pibarnas: if you like big icons it is | 02:06 |

| fatcat | Trying to boot an old, possibly faulty, pc from an ubuntu live cd but I'm kinda stuck. I got to the menu, chose to run it from the cd without installing, and then it seemed to be starting up, it went thru the diffrent unit and random info about ports and inputs was printed on the screen.after a while it seemed to be finhsied and stopped. but No desktop was loaded up though. it just stopped. it's been sitting there for 10 minutes now. what | 02:18 |
| neezer | TheMozart: is it ok if it is the i386 deb even though I have 64 bit processor? | 02:19 |
| fatcat | *edit: it went thru the diffrent units, usb ports and stuff, printing out random info... | 02:19 |
| TheMozart | neezer: not sure. sorry. | 02:19 |
| Pelo | fatcat, you might have better luck with the alternate install cd , it has a text based installer, less demanding on the hardware then running a desktop while installing | 02:19 |
| matthewford | spoke too soon, I still have the issue where after I login I get kicked back to the login screen, any ideas of how to fix it? | 02:19 |
| TheMozart | neezer: ask someone else about that pls | 02:19 |
| Out_Cold | fatcat, have you tried it more than once? or test your ram? | 02:19 |
| neezer | no prob...it won't let me install, so I'll look for the 64 bit deb. | 02:20 |
| TheMozart | neezer: this seems to work: Solved. Installed skype version 2.0 and selected "HD Intel (hw:0)" option. | 02:20 |
| Ziber | Whats the easiest way to parition a disk to have /home seperate? | 02:20 |
| Pelo | neezer, the deb needs to match the os you installed , not the processor, if you installed the 64bit version of ubuntu you need the 64 bit deb, i fyou installed the i386 verison you can use that package | 02:20 |
| TheMozart | neezer: find the 64 skype 2.0 | 02:21 |

| TheMozart | neezer: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-skype-2-on-64-bit-ubuntu.html | 02:23 |
| Pelo | Ziber, I was gonna say do it from the live cd but ... ifyou are doing a clean install, on a vm or a real machine, just pick the manual partitionning whneyou get to that step, at minimun you'll need a partiton for / one for swap and one for /home , it' s fairly self explanatory when you get there | 02:23 |
| Flea_ | Ok, I guess I can try to take a look | 02:23 |
| TheMozart | neezer: then click on the "First you need to download .deb package from here" | 02:23 |

| linkz0r | Out_Cold: the ADSL router does all the job of connecting to my ISP, all i want to do is to redirect my connection to the wi-fi adapter | 03:15 |

| koshari | Rodensky for a half measure a nautilus script is prolly a good compromise, look around, someone has llikely allready written one, then its just a case of right click, and select the nautilus script. | 03:30 |

| hiexpo | i had to get rid of 4 grubs today cause of updates | 03:42 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, try looking in menu > system > prefs > sound | 03:42 |
| xjiujiu | how can I change the UUID's value | 03:42 |
| xjiujiu | and I cloned a ubuntu system | 03:42 |
| Dextronaught | yeah, Pelo, there | 03:42 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, you donT' change those, they are automaticaly made whenyou format a partition | 03:43 |
| Dextronaught | no hardware, no input devices | 03:43 |

| hiexpo | wow ya never payed any attentionto that | 03:43 |
| kinja-sheep | yva_: Download the source code. Search hundreds, even thousands of line of codes to try and find the menu accelerator (or whatnot). Change it. Save it. Compile. Ta-da. (Not worth the time). | 03:43 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, mgiht be a permission thing, sudo adduser username audio | 03:43 |
| kinja-sheep | yva_: Easy Method -- Adapt to their shortcuts. | 03:43 |
| Dextronaught | I actually put username? | 03:43 |
| Dextronaught | or my username | 03:43 |
| Dextronaught | ? | 03:43 |
| xjiujiu | but how can I know the uuid? | 03:43 |
| yva_ | kinja-sheep> how? | 03:43 |
| Pelo | tt, what is the exact line you put for the command , copy paste | 03:43 |
| Tapout | are there 'ubuntu backports' for postgresql 8.4 ? | 03:43 |
| iflema | yva_: suspend is like hibernate but the system doesnt completly power down/off kind of on standby.... hibernate needs to be resumed/almost rebooted | 03:44 |

| xjiujiu | ok,I try it | 03:44 |

| Dextronaught | ok | 03:44 |
| Dextronaught | ty | 03:44 |
| kinja-sheep | yva_: Like I said, not worth it. See !compile for more details. | 03:44 |
| tt | firefox was like what do you want to do and because it was exe it used wine installer or something and i said ok | 03:44 |
| Pelo | tt, what ? | 03:45 |
| _mike_ | how to find the newly created file? | 03:45 |

| Pelo | xjiujiu, ;-) | 03:45 |
| hiexpo | i also noticed some of my old program scipts no longer work so i have to rewrite the now because of all the changes made | 03:45 |
| kinja-sheep | yva_: There are Keyboard Shortcuts under System --> Preferences. But to change the shortcut layouts for the specific program, you'd have to download the source code, edit it yourself, then compile. | 03:46 |
| Altusanew | Has anyone tried TestDrive yet? | 03:46 |
| yva_ | In changed them in 8.04 without all | 03:47 |
| yva_ | e.g. in gedit | 03:47 |
| tt | how about this, I have a setup.exe, can you tell me the semantics for running the setup with wine and the file is on my desktop | 03:47 |

| tt | mobile air mouse | 03:48 |
| genii | Tapout: Karmic onwards it's in main | 03:48 |
| Pelo | tt, what is mobile air mouse ? is this a driver for your mouse ? | 03:49 |
| tt | it worked on win 7, it is a server and the iphone can be used like the touchpad on a laptop for my media center pc, it works over wifi | 03:49 |
| kinja-sheep | tt: That is designed for Windows + Macs. | 03:49 |
| tt | ...isint this what wine is designed to help make not a problem | 03:49 |

| kgs | Hah! | 03:50 |
| ZooCow | Anybody know anything about linux boot problems? | 03:50 |
| tt | but isn't it worth trying? | 03:50 |
| Pelo | tt, go to winehq.org and see if that application is listed in their database | 03:50 |
| xjiujiu | If I copy the menu.lst and change the uuid's value in the menu.lst,and move it to another disk. | 03:50 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, what are you trying to do and why ? | 03:51 |
| ZooCow | I'm trying to boot Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| tt | if i just know, its like wine /desktop/home/setup.exe | 03:51 |
| ZooCow | I select it in Grub | 03:51 |
| tt | or something | 03:51 |
| ZooCow | the logo comes up | 03:51 |
| Dark_Helmut | Is there support for the iPod Nano (4G)? I can't get it to work w/ any consistency. If I remove the drive and then reconnect it, it doesn't see it unless I reboot | 03:51 |
| ZooCow | but then it fades and just sits there forever | 03:51 |
| tt | then i could try it has worked before | 03:51 |
| xjiujiu | Now ,I have used the Ucloner to clone my ubuntu system | 03:51 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, ploease don't use the enter key for punctuation | 03:51 |
| Dextronaught | I currently can hear my myself through my speakers. does anybody know how to mute my mic on my speakers? | 03:51 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, you can copy the uuid from blkid to menu.lst that will work | 03:52 |
| jerico_ | tt: iPhone + Linux = not so great of a combo | 03:52 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, you also need to copy it to /etc/fstab | 03:52 |
| xjiujiu | ok! | 03:52 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, try booting the recovery mode | 03:52 |
| tt | its just a server program iphone doesnt have much to do with it just needs to hit a server on my net | 03:53 |
| ZooCow | Recovery mode works, but I don't know what to do after that | 03:53 |
| Altusanew | Has anyone heard of TestDrive? https://launchpad.net/testdrive The latest from server dev guru Dustin Kirkland? | 03:53 |
| kinja-sheep | tt: The problem is that you're trying to run "Windows" setup (which contains supports to move a mouse around on Windows desktop) on linux. | 03:53 |
| tt | i mean i dont actually know anything about it so iphone might have to do with it | 03:53 |
| Dextronaught | I currently can hear my myself through my speakers. does anybody know how to mute my mic on my speakers? | 03:53 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, ok we know that much, did you ever manage to have ubuntu working properly before ? | 03:53 |
| tt | how about virtualbox do i have a better shot with it | 03:53 |
| Dextronaught | Nevermind, problem solved. | 03:53 |
| kinja-sheep | tt: "Is there a Linux version available or on the way? * Currently we do not have a version for Linux. We will be releasing one in the future but do not have an estimated time frame yet." | 03:54 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, did the permision thing work ? | 03:54 |
| ZooCow | Not on this machine. It's a netbook, I'm able to boot from a USB stick, and as far as i know it installed correctly; however, after the installation and selecting it in GRUB, the logo comes up for a few moments then fades and the computer just sits there. | 03:54 |
| Spectral_ | does anyone here have any experiance with moodle? | 03:54 |
| Spectral_ | i need to ask some questions | 03:54 |
| Dextronaught | yes, I'm really really happy | 03:54 |
| Pelo | good, I just wondered | 03:54 |
| Dextronaught | Pelo, I've been working on this sound thing since yesterday night | 03:55 |
| Dextronaught | over 6 hours easy been trying to fix this | 03:55 |
| Dextronaught | I can't believe it was so simple | 03:55 |
| jerux0 | is there a channel for hp's tx2z on ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| waaat | Is there anything I can do to aid an ailing HDD? It has around 204 bad sectors. :( | 03:55 |
| tt | well after that then its just nitpicking but maybe they mean its not officially supported but it can be made to happen with those two bits of software? | 03:55 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, I had similar problems getting the sound to work on my media box, I was adding myself to the wrong group I wanted to beat myself afterwards | 03:55 |
| Dextronaught | lol | 03:55 |
| Gumby | hi all, I have an annoying hi pitch noise coming from my speakers in 9.10 (wasnt there in 9.04). This is a fresh install and it happens even when everything is muted (in alsamixer) and if everything is unmuted. It goes away briefly when I set the volume in alsamixer but returns about 5 seconds afterwards. Anyone know what might cause this? | 03:56 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, in my defence the howto i was using said sound , not audio | 03:56 |
| Altusanew | Is there a better chanel to ask questions about testing Lucid? | 03:56 |
| Pelo | Gumby,desktop ? move speaker cables away from power cables and turn down the volume on the speakers a little | 03:57 |
| kinja-sheep | tt: It is possible that you could use synergy / quicksynergy to allow MAC or XP to control Ubuntu, then use iPhone mouse to control XP / MAC... to Ubuntu. | 03:57 |
| iflema | ZooCow: try to boot it again but when logo appears hold alt and press F1 see if ya see what it hangs on... doing this will display scrolling text of the boot sequence | 03:57 |
| Pelo | Altusanew, #ubuntu+1 but it's a bit early I think | 03:57 |
| kinja-sheep | !info quicksynergy | tt | 03:57 |
| ubottu | tt: quicksynergy (source: quicksynergy): GUI for easy configuration of Synergy. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9-1 (karmic), package size 24 kB, installed size 176 kB | 03:57 |
| tt | I see | 03:58 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, when replying to me, pleas use my nick it makes it easier to keep track | 03:58 |
| tt | thanks | 03:58 |
| Gumby | Pelo: doesnt matter where the speakers are (tried moving them away from everything. Turning speakers down only helps to turn the squeal down but it also turns the volume down too low to hear. | 03:58 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, did you get unbuntu to work on that machine ? | 03:58 |
| Gumby | Pelo: If audio is playing, the squeal stops | 03:58 |
| Altusanew | Pelo: TY. | 03:58 |
| Dextronaught | Pelo, yeah dude, I understand. | 03:58 |
| ZooCow | Pelo: thanks for all of the advice. No I couldn't get it to work. I thought I had recovery mode working, but I get a command line that says "(initramfs)" rather than root or anything like that. | 03:58 |
| Pelo | Gumby, I had some similar issue , it had to do with feedback in the cables, that's themost I can offer | 03:59 |
| Dextronaught | now to get sound on glash | 03:59 |
| Dextronaught | flash* | 03:59 |
| Dextronaught | :( | 03:59 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, talk to me in the cahnnel I don'T allow private msg | 03:59 |
| xjiujiu | ok | 03:59 |
| xjiujiu | Sorry | 03:59 |
| Gumby | Pelo: thanks. I'll investigate more. Again, this didnt happen with an identical setup in 9.04 so I think its software related | 03:59 |
| xjiujiu | :) | 03:59 |
| tt | thank you | 03:59 |
| xjiujiu | I can't find the fstab | 04:00 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, it's not installed properly then, not sure what I can do about that, maybe try installing it again using the alt install cd | 04:00 |
| bleepbloop | I keep trying to burn a CD for a netinstall .iso, but each time it finishes, it says "failed to verify burned data" or something to that effect, should I try burning the CD at the lowest speed possible or is there something else I can do to help the disk get burned so that the data can be verified? | 04:00 |
| Pelo | Gumby, maybe check in the sound settings and change the device , maybe | 04:00 |
| Gumby | Pelo: I think I might have just found something... Just rebooting to make sure ;) | 04:01 |
| Pelo | bleepbloop, you shoudl always burn instal cd at the lowest speed, but failing to verify the datadoesn'T mean the cd is unusable | 04:01 |

| devunt | hmm. | 04:01 |
| ZooCow | Pelo, what do you mean by "alt install cd," I'm having to use a USB stick instead of a CD.Do you think I would have to reinstall GRUB? | 04:01 |
| Pelo | devunt, /ping username | 04:01 |
| devunt | ok. | 04:02 |
| Gumby | Pelo: comment out options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; reboot; done | 04:02 |
| xjiujiu | Pelo:fstab don't exist in my system | 04:02 |
| devunt | I think bot isn't exist in this channel | 04:02 |
| Pelo | ZooCow, you did install ubuntu right ? I'M guessing that something went wrong with the installation, I thought you had used the live cd to isntall I was suggesting you try the alternate install cd it has a text based installer | 04:03 |
| bleepbloop | Pelo: I tried to install with the disk that wasn't verified, but in the process the installer said it couldn't read some of the data from the install disk, so I figured it would be best to try another disk | 04:03 |

| Pelo | xjiujiu, in /etc/fstab , your system must have it , otherwise it wouldn'T know where your partitions are | 04:03 |
| * Gumby wonders if this fix also fixes the hdmi audio problems as well | 04:03 | |
| Dark_Helmut | Anyone have advice for managing my iPod under ubuntu??? | 04:03 |
| Pelo | bleepbloop, I said it might not be unsuable, but it's not always the case, maybe you can try another burning utility | 04:04 |
| kinja-sheep | Gumby: "alsamixer" -- Make sure everything is toggled on. | 04:04 |
| JyZyXEL | how do you change the unetbootin loader to the ubuntu one? | 04:04 |
| xjiujiu | Yeah,I see it:) | 04:04 |
| bleepbloop | Pelo: haha yeah I was just providing evidence for 'might'. I'll try another again on the lowest speed this time and see how it turns out | 04:04 |
| Pelo | nomnex, try with mplayer , it supports most format out of the box, sudo apt-get install mplayer-gui | 04:04 |
| xjiujiu | I need change it? | 04:04 |
| Dextronaught | Pelo, I currently can't play any music that I have downloaded. Any ideas? | 04:05 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, the uuid in fstab need to match the uudi in blkid | 04:05 |
| nomnex | Pelo, It's not a problem of player. I use smplayer/mplayer, the movies start and soon freeze | 04:05 |
| xjiujiu | OK,I see. | 04:05 |
| Pelo | Dextronaught, you need the codec to play mp3 , check in synaptic for restricted extras | 04:05 |
| devunt | oh, I see. | 04:06 |
| devunt | there is a bot. | 04:06 |
| inoh | hi, when i try to deactivate Alternate Atheros "mdwifi" driver, it says: cannot remover driver Your removed the configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf. How might I fix this? | 04:06 |
| Gumby | kinja-sheep: that wasnt the problem | 04:06 |
| Pelo | nomnex, some of those newer formats are realy demanding on hardware, if your computer is old and has little memory it might just not be able to cope | 04:06 |
| nomnex | Pelo, do you know if this format is more ressource hungry than DivX | 04:06 |

| xjiujiu | Pelo,when I finish those work,can I reboot my system? | 04:07 |
| Gumby | kinja-sheep: when using hdmi there was loud pops and really weird sound coming out of the speakers in both 9.04 and 9.10 when using hdmi out. I stopped using hdmi out in 9.04 and moved to just regular jack. Installed 9.10 and there was a horrid squeel coming out of the speakers and regardless of what was muted or on it didnt change. | 04:07 |
| Pelo | nomnex, I can'T tell, I just know that have problem with some stuff and i have a 2.4 celeron | 04:07 |
| Gumby | kinja-sheep: the fix was to comment out options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; reboot; done | 04:08 |
| Pelo | xjiujiu, yes | 04:08 |
| JyZyXEL | how do you change unetbootin made ubuntu to use ubuntu bootloader? | 04:08 |

| ouyes | debiant, how to change? | 04:44 |
| debiant | ouyes: sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 04:44 |
| ChogyDan | rashed2020: of course not? | 04:44 |
| kinja-sheep | rashed2020: Swap caches things and is not a good replacement for RAM. | 04:44 |
| Pelo | rashed2020, not it is not, it is a perfectly subtable extension for RAM when you donT' have much | 04:44 |
| debiant | ouyes: the device /dev/sdb1 will probably have vfat somewhere change it to ntfs | 04:44 |

| linr0ckz | Bwaah..dont make me flame on you ! | 04:45 |
| rashed2020 | Well, I meant in this scenario (cuz this is my deal): I'm on a VPS and I only have 256 megs of RAM. I wanna run apache2 and a few python scripts and I'm afraid I'll eat up all of my RAM. Will swap save me here? | 04:45 |
| debiant | Bwaah: I hope you're joking | 04:45 |
| linr0ckz | get lost ! I love ubuntu..I get mad if some one says ubuntu sucks | 04:45 |

| KhanFused | I have a question regarding the 9.04 - > 9.10 automatic update. I've got entries for wine, medibuntu, and about 3 or 4 other repositories in /apt/sources.list.d/ ... will the auto-update script parse these and set them for the new distro? If not, is there a spot in the script where I can sneak around the back side with vi and update things -- and will doing so make things barf technicolor bits all over my screen? ;-) | 04:47 |
| KhanFused | stephans -- unfortunately, it can't be done | 04:48 |
| porki | ? | 04:48 |
| sjr | What is a good backup system that is easy to setup | 04:48 |

| ar0nic | guys i have all software and propierary drivers for devices all selected in my software sources | 04:48 |
| Pelo | porki, see if there is a backup of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and replace your xorg.conf file with that , bakcup the current xorg.conf file | 04:48 |
| infid | kinja-sheep: ? | 04:48 |
| linr0ckz | pelo any way that I can get it in formatted html or cfm ? | 04:48 |
| ar0nic | yet a common package will not install | 04:48 |
| KhanFused | netflix uses MSoft Silverlight ... with DRM functionality that hasn't made it's way linuxward | 04:48 |
| ar0nic | cause it cannot find | 04:48 |
| ChogyDan | KhanFused: you can enable them after the fact | 04:48 |
| stephans | That is too bad... | 04:48 |
| neezer | If I am having problems with my built in microphone, would getting a USB webcam for skype solve the issue? | 04:48 |
| KhanFused | ChogyDan -- and then just re-run the update to catch the rest of the fixes? | 04:49 |
| Pelo | linkz0r,I guess you can open the text file with openoffice and save it as an html | 04:49 |
| afroman | hello. why can't I see my bluetooth headset in ekiga or any other software? | 04:49 |

| ChogyDan | KhanFused: well, you just run the regular updater | 04:49 |
| KhanFused | stephans ... best bet is a VM (I'm exploring this issue too ... wanna tr y it) | 04:49 |
| infid | nm | 04:49 |
| porki | Pelo , I have to replace the backup with the xorg.conf file in the same folder | 04:49 |
| porki | pelo and why this happened ? | 04:49 |
| ouyes | debiant, thank you mom call me for dinner il try later | 04:50 |
| Pelo | porki, the other way around but yes , in the same folder, no idea, maybe some upgrade changed it , but make sure you backup the current xorg.conf so you can restore it if it doesn'T work | 04:50 |
| KhanFused | Thanks Chogy | 04:50 |

| sreejith | hey pelo, after fresh install... rhythmbox no audio | 04:54 |
| Pelo | sreejith, any audio elsewhere ? | 04:54 |
| sreejith | yes totem | 04:54 |
| aarcane | when will ubuntu have zfs support!!! | 04:55 |
| keepsake | Pelo: Appears to hit a minimum somewhere, but I used to be able to go under that minimum in 9.04, weird. | 04:55 |
| Pelo | sreejith, did you install the restricted extras so you'd have mp3 support ? | 04:55 |
| sreejith | however, here's the interesting thig... when i connected my hdmi cable i can hear rhythmbox audio on my tv | 04:55 |
| sreejith | yes mp3 etc all done... | 04:55 |
| Pelo | keepsake, it varies with the theme you are using | 04:55 |
| keepsake | Pelo: It worked in 9.04 though, urgh, I'll see if I can do something about it. | 04:55 |
| disappearedng | Any tools that allow me to edit torrent files? | 04:56 |
| Pelo | disappearedng, if you edit a torrent file you'll messit up and it won't match the torrents othe rppl have anymore | 04:56 |
| sreejith | Pelo: i tried eveything i could... upgraded pulseaudio, alsa and nvidia to the latest | 04:56 |
| jiohdi | speaking of hdmi, anyone know how to get an acer revo hdmi to work on linux/ubuntu | 04:56 |
| ChogyDan | aarcane: I think they are going for btrfs | 04:56 |
| === ScottG490 is now known as ScottG489 | ||

| disappearedng | vim isn't really good exploring binary data | 04:57 |
| sreejith | Pelo: similar setup with jaunty eveything worked just perfect including hdmi | 04:57 |
| Ziber | How do you extract .tar.bz2? | 04:57 |
| aarcane | ChogyDan, the two are only roughly similar, isn't linux about choice ? why isn't the ubuntu team working on a cleanroom rewrite of zfs ? | 04:57 |
| Pelo | disappearedng, I don'T know any, if you just want to add extra trackers you can probably do that in the client | 04:57 |
| git__ | bzip2 -d [file.tar.bz2] | 04:58 |
| Ziber | ty | 04:58 |
| sreejith | yes did all that with alsamixer / pavcontrol etc... | 04:58 |
| ChogyDan | aarcane: haha | 04:58 |
| sreejith | no luck | 04:58 |
| git__ | then: tar xvf [file.tar] | 04:58 |
| Pelo | sreejith, out of curiosity, does hdmi handle feedback from the tv, where you can use the tv remote to start stuff on the computer ? | 04:58 |
| Pelo | Ziber, right click extract here | 04:58 |
| sreejith | Pelo, haven't tried that ever | 04:58 |
| xjiujiu | Hello,Pelo! | 04:59 |
| xjiujiu | I'm coming now. :) | 04:59 |
| xjiujiu | Thank you! | 04:59 |
| Pelo | sreejith, I just read in my new tv's manual that hdmi allowed you to do what with some devices, like freevo and dvd players and such | 04:59 |
| disappearedng | Pelo, no I want to change my id on a registered site | 04:59 |
| microlith | Pelo: few computers (if any) would, I imagine | 05:00 |
| Pelo | disappearedng, just redownload the torrent from the site stop it , and point it to where the files are on your hdd | 05:00 |
| dr0id | now there's a .exe file which I can't run, can anybody tell me why? | 05:00 |
| Pelo | microlith, I assumed as much but since I have no way to check | 05:00 |
| xjiujiu | I did it | 05:01 |
| Flare-Laptop | !wine | dr0id | 05:01 |
| ubottu | dr0id: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:01 |
| sreejith | Pelo, also rhythmbox doesn't show up in pulseaudio device chooser when its playing | 05:01 |
| Pelo | congradulation xjiujiu | 05:01 |
| sreejith | which makes me think its not using pulse audio | 05:01 |
| dr0id | Flare-Laptop: say if the file is a virus, then will that execute on my linux(ubuntu) box ? | 05:01 |
| dr0id | if I run it through wine? | 05:01 |
| Pelo | sreejith, it's a bit over my head , sorry, have you tried with a different player ? like listen or amarok ? | 05:01 |
| jyncka | I can't seem to get my apache set up with virtual hosts, if I want the url to be http://localhost/vhost what directive do I use? | 05:01 |
| Flare-Laptop | dr0id: yup, but it won't harm Linux at all | 05:01 |
| coz_ | dr0id, no | 05:01 |
| Flare-Laptop | it can't | 05:01 |
| dr0id | will it harm windows? | 05:02 |
| Flare-Laptop | coz_: o.O | 05:02 |
| yolanda | hola | 05:02 |
| Pelo | sreejith, I'M thinking the problem is with rhythmbox | 05:02 |

| coz_ | dr0id, when I work on clients systems...most of w hich are windows... I remove the hard drive a pull files off of it while on linux | 05:02 |
| sreejith | ok.. will try that but more than that why does it play in hdmi. ? | 05:02 |
| hdon | jyncka, lol what? | 05:02 |
| coz_ | dr0id, no worries about windows viruses or spyware on linux | 05:02 |
| dr0id | coz_: but if I run it using wiine, will that harm windows on my box | 05:03 |
| hdon | jyncka, vhosts allows for different settings to be applied given the hostname found in the http request | 05:03 |
| Shaolu | dr0id: Wine has its own virtual C drive in a ~/.wine | 05:03 |
| dr0id | I have windows vista and ubuntu on my box | 05:03 |
| coz_ | dr0id, no it cannot run under linux | 05:03 |
| hdon | jyncka, the hostname is the part between :// and the next / | 05:03 |
| sreejith | also now if i want to watch movies using hdmi , sound doesn't go to tv from totem.. whereas rhytmbox defaults to it | 05:03 |
| Pelo | sreejith, I'M thinking that hdmi is overriding the soundcard for rythmbox , but then what do I know | 05:03 |
| jyncka | hdon: but doesn't ServerName and ServerAlias need to be set in the vhost file? | 05:03 |
| hdon | jyncka, so in your example, the hostname is localhost | 05:03 |
| Pelo | sreejith, ROFL | 05:03 |
| dr0id | you arnt getting my question, will that virus harm my windows files and all? | 05:03 |
| Shaolu | dr0id: So anything that the virus tries to do to your system is entirely virtual, being relegated to a subdirectory inside your user home dir. | 05:03 |
| Pelo | sreejith, maybe you should ask in #alsa | 05:04 |
| jyncka | hdon: ah so would I need to create a subdirectory? | 05:04 |
| Shaolu | (And wine has so many issues in my experience, the virus would probably crash before it could do anything :P) | 05:04 |
| hdon | jyncka, apache is not very particular about in what file you set that up in, as long as it gets included by another configuration file that gets loaded | 05:04 |
| sreejith | :) | 05:04 |
| sreejith | ok will try there | 05:04 |
| sidd | hi, i have installed vista after ubuntu (it was xp first) and now want to install grub back to the mbr | 05:04 |
| coz_ | dr0id, then I am not clear I was reading that if you ran something under wine that may have a virus will it effect the windows files also running under wine? | 05:04 |
| sreejith | thx for ur help... | 05:04 |
| hdon | jyncka, no, vhosts have nothing to do with directories or subdirectories. you'd never put a configuration file (except .htaccess) under a directory accessible to the public anyhow | 05:04 |
| Pelo | ok getting late here, g'night folks | 05:04 |
| sidd | i tried grub-install and it got ubuntu back but no vista :( | 05:04 |
| Flare-Laptop | !grub | sidd | 05:04 |
| ubottu | sidd: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 05:04 |
| hdon | jyncka, http://eregie.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/manual/vhosts/name-based.html | 05:05 |
| dr0id | coz_: exactly, my question was that | 05:05 |
| dr0id | so will that affect? | 05:05 |
| l3ns | hi everyone. to my surprise I just went to check my phpmyadmin: localhost/phpmyadmin and found this error: phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server. | 05:05 |
| coz_ | dr0id, then absolutely not they will not be effected | 05:05 |
| dr0id | ok, thankis | 05:05 |
| ouyes | debiant, since i have mounted the disk, what else i need to do? | 05:05 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: Have you configure phpmyadmin yet? | 05:05 |
| jyncka | hdon: thanks, but in that example it says ServerName www.domain.tld | 05:05 |
| debiant | ouyes: did you edit the fstab | 05:05 |
| Spectral_ | when i make changes to smb.conf how do i apply them? | 05:05 |
| l3ns | i checked for my config.inc.php and it shows here: http://pastebin.com/m1226c1f7 | 05:06 |
| hdon | jyncka, yes, what are you trying to say? | 05:06 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, did not configure it, it has been working just until now >.< | 05:06 |
| ouyes | /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 05:06 |
| l3ns | not* | 05:06 |
| jyncka | hdon: I'm just not sure what I need to set mine to, it seems like an important setting but maybe I'm confused | 05:06 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: Try restarting mysql | 05:06 |
| ouyes | debiant, /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 05:06 |

| hdon | jyncka, the purpose of vhosts is so that you can access the server using different host names and get different data | 05:06 |
| debiant | I posted a replacement for that above | 05:06 |
| ouyes | debiant, is there something wrong | 05:07 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, okay, i restarted my apache2 and did not work, trying with mysql now | 05:07 |
| hdon | jyncka, why do you want vhosts? | 05:07 |
| debiant | ouyes: I posted a replacement for you | 05:07 |
| jyncka | hdon: I want to set up separate development environments for a few different websites and this seemed to make sense | 05:07 |
| ouyes | debes, is it ?/dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ntfs defaults,exec,umask=022 0 0 | 05:07 |
| debiant | ouyes: /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ntfs defaults,exec,umask=022 0 0 | 05:07 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: via apache2 right? | 05:07 |
| jyncka | Flare-Laptop: yup | 05:08 |
| hdon | jyncka, i also probably would question using ubuntu as a server system | 05:08 |
| debiant | ouyes: that should allow the drive to automount | 05:08 |
| jyncka | hdon: well this is more to make sure my code is working than anything else but I see your point | 05:08 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: Alright, pastebin your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file | 05:08 |
| ar0nic | is /lib/firmware still the firmware directy that 9.10 uses? | 05:08 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, done restarting mysql, http://pastebin.com/m3495e26f | 05:09 |
| Flare-Laptop | ar0nic: I'm pretty sure it is | 05:09 |
| debiant | ouyes: you'll have to restart in order for the fstab to be loaded (I believe) but everything should be right with the world after that. | 05:09 |
| ouyes | debiant, i cannot use gedit and i am not good at vi , what tool can i chose to edit it?(i am just turn to xubuntu from ubuntu | 05:09 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, problem still exists... | 05:09 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: Alright, try logging into phpmyadmin | 05:09 |
| hdon | jyncka, what sort of technology are you developing atop? | 05:09 |
| Flare-Laptop | aww hmmm | 05:09 |
| debiant | ouyes: sudo xedit /etc/fstab | 05:09 |
| jyncka | Flare_Laptop: the file is default, there is no 000-default but here's the link http://pastebin.com/m2a6b2fa | 05:10 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: Try logging into mysql via the terminal | 05:10 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, yep I can log in via terminal | 05:10 |
| jyncka | hdon: one wordpress site, one regular php-based site and playing with facebook development and python | 05:10 |
| l3ns | mysql -u root -p | 05:10 |
| hdon | jyncka, ah, ok, well i recommend giving the apache manual a thorough reading. it's been a long time for me, so i'm very rusty, but i seem to recall becoming pretty proficient at it after reading a few manual sections about vhosts. | 05:11 |
| jyncka | hdon: when I get my new computer up I'll probably have something besides ubuntu running that can better serve as a server | 05:11 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html | 05:11 |
| andruk | im trying to compile an app with a shared library i made, but i keep getting an "undefined reference to" error. i took a look at the symbols defined in the shared library and they have a "U" status, meaning undefined. how do i define them in the shared library? | 05:11 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: hmm that's really weird. | 05:11 |
| jyncka | hdon: thanks, I do need to do that | 05:11 |
| Zer | Howdy...is there some good way to see what Ubuntu is doing during startup? It appears to be frozen at "Setting up console font and keymap" | 05:11 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: do you have php set to log its errors? | 05:11 |
| Zer | but to be fair, Starting AppArmor profiles, etc. also do not have an [OK] | 05:11 |
| jyncka | Flare-Laptop: thanks! | 05:11 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: No problem | 05:11 |
| Flare-Laptop | :) | 05:11 |
| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, i don't know, guess not... i can't remember doing that before.... | 05:12 |
| jyncka | Flare-Laptop and hdon, one thing I found when googling was people saying you weren't supposed to put NameVirtualHost in separate virtual host files in ubuntu, is that right? | 05:12 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: well you can but you don't have to | 05:12 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: Well if php logs then you could see what phpmyadmin's real error | 05:13 |
| nanotube | zer: iirc, if you switch to one of the VTYs (maybe it's the one on f1, or f8) you get to see the scrolling text. | 05:13 |
| jyncka | Flare-Laptop: got it, out of curiosity would you need to include it in other distros like fedora or centos? | 05:13 |
| Flare-Laptop | l3ns: and you would see what the mess is it freaking out about | 05:13 |
| ar0nic | i keep getting this butthole not valid identifier error with this command: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" | 05:13 |

| l3ns | Flare-Laptop, any way I can access to that file? | 05:13 |
| ar0nic | would it be /lib/firmware/ | 05:14 |
| jyncka | Flare-Laptop: cool, thanks for the help | 05:14 |
| Flare-Laptop | jyncka: np | 05:14 |
| jyncka | hdon: thanks for the help as well and your patience | 05:14 |

| Dravekx | calmsiva, use anything that supports conversion. | 05:20 |
| debiant | calmsiva: you want to convert video files into audio files? | 05:21 |
| Dravekx | calmsiva, there's only like 3000 apps that can do it laying around. | 05:21 |
| calmsiva | can you name one or two | 05:21 |
| calmsiva | i have downloaded audacity - can it help | 05:21 |
| debiant | calmsiva: google avi to mp3 linux that should give you a good headstart | 05:22 |
| Dravekx | audacity is stricty for audio. | 05:22 |
| * Gnea notes that AVI is a video format, not an audio format | 05:22 | |
| Dravekx | not to mention, you are in the wrong channel for this. | 05:22 |

| AlexL | what do i press to accept it? | 05:25 |

| ouyes | kinja-sheep, i need more details like a number or something sitatistcs | 05:26 |

| Zer | Hmm actually, it appears all the ttys work. But not all services have been started properly. | 05:26 |
| calmsiva | Gnea : Go the Windows XP - use any ripper which comes with DVD from magazines | 05:26 |
| Zer | I wonder if there's a way to see what Upstart is doing/waiting for | 05:27 |
| Gnea | calmsiva: this is #ubuntu, we support ubuntu here, not xp | 05:27 |
| soreau | Jafah: What is the problem? | 05:27 |
| calmsiva | hope this MAY solve the problem - the main useful tip is AVI is a Vidwo format | 05:27 |
| kinja-sheep | ouyes: It is common sense. Take a peek at "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" -- You'll be amazed at the sheer number of packages. | 05:27 |

| Flare-Laptop | Zer: Um I'm pretty sure it is | 05:30 |

| Jafah | basically I need help getting my Nvidia GeForce 6200 OC working | 05:31 |
| sidd | but if i reinstall vista, won't i end up with the same problem? but then i can use another boot loader. | 05:31 |
| soreau | Jafah: First type !who then !u | 05:31 |
| sidd | Gnea: already done all that. | 05:31 |
| Gnea | sidd: you shouldn't have to reinstall vista unless you actually overwrote the installation itself | 05:31 |
| Jafah | ive tried EnvyNG but didnt work either | 05:31 |
| Jafah | ahh kk | 05:31 |
| kinja-sheep | ouyes: It does *for* me. Type it in the terminal: "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" | 05:31 |
| soreau | Jafah: and after !who and !u, see !work | 05:32 |
| ouyes | kinja-sheep, i want paste something to a file opened by xedit | 05:32 |
| Gnea | sidd: vista should still be technically safe if you did it right, but perhaps grub isn't finding it right | 05:32 |
| mkauley | Gnea / Flare-Laptop: No change. Still is drwx------ owner is the user I log in as, not root. Tried running it as both root and as user | 05:32 |
| sidd | Gnea: could be. but what do i do? | 05:32 |
| Gnea | mkauley: try removing, plugging it back in | 05:32 |
| kinja-sheep | ouyes: It might be faster without recommendation packages as to reduce the numbers of running services (and less bloated). But it wouldn't looks like Xubuntu-Desktop (Look and feels). | 05:33 |
| sidd | at present I just said "repair" from the vista CD and it booted into vista | 05:33 |
| Gnea | sidd: check the grub recovery steps | 05:33 |
| Gnea | !grub | sidd | 05:33 |
| ubottu | sidd: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 05:33 |

| kinja-sheep | neezer: Perhaps cheese or skype. | 05:35 |

| neezer | kinja-sheep: I am having problems with my built in microphone on my HP laptop. I'm looking for an alternative. | 05:36 |
| Gnea | sidd: as long as the change is correct, it should fix the problem | 05:36 |
| sidd | Gnea: yes, but faster is if you edit the grub menu at boot time if you want to test something else. | 05:37 |
| mkauley | Gnea: So, is there anyway to share out a FAT formatted external from Ubuntu to other windows machines? | 05:37 |

| Dravekx | does everyone use apache? | 05:54 |

| syrius | segregation :( | 05:54 |
| syrius | why you a segregationist? rww | 05:54 |
| goddard | haha | 05:54 |
| Dravekx | is it better to use LAMP from ubuntu or just install apache + other stuff, yourself? | 05:55 |
| syrius | I have to be segregated because I can speak another language? | 05:55 |
| rww | syrius: because doing support in all languages in one channel would be a mess. | 05:55 |
| Flannel | syrius: This channel is english only, if you prefer to speak another language, there are other channels for that. | 05:55 |
| BitWraith | hmm... it rebooted again, now I can't see again... :-/ | 05:55 |
| c_nick | Dravekx: you wrote .. that.. its not a u know what chat :) go someplace else.. My friend Google will help you with that | 05:55 |
| kazagistar | whenever I try to boot from the -16 or -17 kernel, my laptop restarts, but -15 works just fine... what is wrong? | 05:55 |
| iflema | ar0nic: check synaptic for the bcmwl-kernel-source if its not there install and activate drivers under System/Administration/Hardware Drivers | 05:55 |
| goddard | dont use those kernals | 05:55 |

| Dravekx | c_nick, that wasnt me, you just think it was. | 05:57 |

| koshari | Jafah dont use the exc mark unless you want to echo a specific reply | 05:57 |

| davidthedrake1 | Can anyone help me get flash working in Chrome for 64-bit? I've got Chrome installed, flash-nonfree, and I'm trying to tell Chrome where the Flash plugin is but all the guides I've found said to make a link in /usr/lib/chromium-browser and that directory doesn't exist. | 05:58 |
| c_nick | rww: i think i got that one.. if you do scp -r folder1 folder2.. then it replicated a folder1 as folder2 | 05:58 |
| ardchoille | Jafah: are you using compiz? | 05:58 |
| Jafah | hmm think i did that but ill try again | 05:58 |
| Jafah | no | 05:58 |
| Daughain | rww: I need to cnnect to a remote system to do an OS install, I've been using this tut; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 05:58 |
| ar0nic | ifleme activated everything | 05:58 |
| ar0nic | but the source stuff iswhat im looking through | 05:58 |
| c_nick | rww: if i go scp -r folder1/ folder2/ then it will copy the contents from folder1 into folder2 | 05:58 |
| ar0nic | cause there is no h.w for it | 05:58 |
| kazagistar | goddard: Gateway MA7... how would I even begin to debug this? | 05:58 |
| ar0nic | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 05:58 |
| c_nick | rww: the folder1/* is all the files.. but the hidden ones dont count :) | 05:58 |
| Jafah | my internal card doesnt support it i believe | 05:58 |
| rww | c_nick: you could do folder1/.* to copy the hidden ones, I just dunno how to do it all in one go | 05:59 |

| silv3r_m00n | in kde3.5 is there any program that can run in taskbar and check updates ? | 05:59 |
| Tamnakz | anyone else having trouble with aim on pidgen? | 05:59 |
| rww | Daughain: alright. Which step are you up to in that page? | 05:59 |
| ardchoille | Jafah: the nvidia 6200 card does support compiz but there's a bug in the 5xxx and 6xxx cards that requires a special line in xorg.conf in order to run compiz | 05:59 |
| c_nick | rww: instead of * and .* i think scp folder1 folder2 will make me a folder2 with the contents of folder1.. or scp folder1/ folder2/ copy everything from folder1 to folder2 | 06:00 |
| iflema | ar0nic: in a terminal type lscpi -v and look for your wireless model or do you know the model | 06:00 |
| rww | c_nick: ok | 06:00 |
| koshari | Jafah care to be more specific what the actual problem is? | 06:00 |
| Zer | Hmm, random thought. I removed a virtual CDROM drive from my VM image. Is there any plausible reason that'd prevent boot from finishing (but leave TTYs accessible)? | 06:00 |
| Daughain | rww: I completed all those steps. The issue seems to be tftp not connecting to the client after bootp opens the connection. | 06:00 |
| c_nick | rww: the question is is scp better than cp ? | 06:00 |
| gharz | guys, i have just uninstalled wine but in the menu under Applications... how do i completely remove the wine entries? | 06:01 |
| koshari | gharz restarting the gnome pael may be sufficient to remove the entyr | 06:01 |
| Jafah | simply put if i enable the graphics card in bios and try to boot ubuntu just gives me a bunch of errors in console | 06:01 |
| gharz | koshari: ok | 06:01 |
| gharz | let me do that | 06:01 |
| gharz | thanks. | 06:01 |
| koshari | Jafah can you enable the card in bios then boot from live session? | 06:02 |
| Jafah | nope | 06:02 |
| rww | c_nick: scp does more stuff than cp, yes... | 06:02 |
| gharz | koshari: yes... it did!!! thanks, koshari! | 06:02 |

| Zer | Odd. I have /dev/scd0 despite having removed the virtual CDROM drive. Why would this be ? | 06:03 |
| koshari | Jafah how can the 96 driver be anabled in the live session? | 06:03 |
| rww | Daughain: Is tftpd-hpa started? "sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa start" | 06:04 |
| ardchoille | Jafah: ok, now y ou need to open a terminal and run this command: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 06:04 |
| rww | Daughain: or "restart" instead of "start" would probably work better, since it probably got started during installation, but might need restarting to pick up the configuration changes | 06:04 |
| iflema | ar0nic: or not | 06:04 |
| Jafah | gives an error when i did that | 06:04 |
| ardchoille | Jafah: what was the error? use pastebin if needed | 06:05 |

| MrPockets | X doesn't seem to load toolbars while logging in sometimes | 06:09 |
| Flannel | rww: The .[!.] bit is important because you don't want to match .. (and then recurse upward) | 06:09 |
| iflema | ar0nic: go into synaptic and remove bcmwl-kernel-source completely then reboot and reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source and go to System/Adminisrtation/Hardware Drivers and activate and then smile | 06:09 |
| MrPockets | GRUB doesn't wanna seem to boot when my external HDD is plugged in, but i can't really blame Ubuntu for that | 06:09 |
| rww | Flannel: 1) I think cp refuses to do that anyway, 2) wouldn't that then not match something named .foo.bar? | 06:09 |
| Flannel | rww: So, the stuff prior to the comma matches all dotfiles (a dot with a non-dotafter it), and then the stuff aftwards matches all non-dotfiles | 06:10 |

| Spo8 | atom_fox, Hmm. Well that's strange. Did you do the full format during the installer, not the quick one? I can't see why another partition would be screwing it up. | 06:12 |
| Flea_ | rww, hmm. I guess that doesn't help me. How do I know which one I need to use, then? | 06:12 |

| ar0nic | lol | 06:28 |
| ar0nic | on what lol | 06:28 |
| rww | Daughain: okay... so you tell your client computer to boot through PXE, the client asks the network for a PXE server to use, the dhcpd on the server replies according to that configuration. Said configuration tells the client to grab a bootloader file from the tftpd server, the client grabs the files, and starts the install... | 06:28 |

| rww | Tamnakz: and probably the best idea is to wait (and use something else like meebo.com temporarily) until updated packages become available, not reinstalling. | 06:34 |

| rww | l3ns: if someone else got to it first, ask in #freenode for a password to be emailed to you | 06:41 |
| kazagistar | keepsake: wubi does not generate a partition... it installs a compressed file of some sort inside of the Windows partition | 06:41 |

| baddog | Surely no one could screw up twice like that | 06:43 |
| keepsake | kazagistar: Also, shouldn't you be recovering the Windows bootloader? Wubi doesn't use GRUB, it seems like. | 06:43 |
| BitWraith | kazagistar, the wubi filesystem isn't compressed... you should be able to loop mount it. (mount -o loop) | 06:43 |

| hdon | ubuntunewbie, sorry to hear about that. i've never used a canon printer with Linux, but i have used them with Windows and Mac OS X, and i can say that since about 2001, their drivers were very dangerous and annoying | 06:59 |
| Telek | And why the heck is openoffice installed by default in the ubuntu-desktop metapackage anyways? And does anyone know a way to keep it from being reinstalled during distribution upgrades? | 06:59 |
| rww | Daughain: I'm guessing it's already installed. Do you get a line for it if you do "ps -A | grep tftp"? | 07:00 |
| Daughain | Its installed, just went ahead and tried to reinstall. | 07:00 |
| ubuntunewbie | hdon: is ok :-) I just wanted to fix the canon driver without me having to run vm when I wanted to print something | 07:01 |

| Slart | xof_: there are many dma.h files spread out in the headers tree.. perhaps some are empty and some are not | 07:07 |
| Awesome3000 | Akkernight Are you thinking of any customization in perticular | 07:07 |
| Akkernight | Awesome3000: I'm used to using Arch Linux, now I did some partitioning stuff and installed Ubuntu, Arch fails to boot. Anyways, to someone who is used to Arch Linux, how customizable is it? | 07:07 |
| Daughain | rww: That command gave me three different options. | 07:07 |

| corey_ | anyone out there think they can help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8656530&postcount=11488 | 07:07 |
| Hydrosis | Akkernight, Ubuntu is the most powerful OS for visual customization. | 07:08 |
| rww | Daughain: That's expected. Any should work, assuming they have `nameserver` in front of them | 07:08 |
| FireIdea | did ubuntu have the game platform? | 07:08 |
| Akkernight | Hydrosis: so it's more customizable than Arch Linux..? | 07:08 |
| Hydrosis | What do you mean FireIdea | 07:08 |
| Daughain | rww: OK, lemme open the dhcp.conf for the edits... | 07:08 |
| eTangenT | Hydrosis: more customizable than Gentoo? | 07:09 |
| rww | Daughain: Explanation: A domain name server is used to convert domain names like `ubuntu.com` into IP addresses like `91.189.94.156`. Generally, if your computer talks to a DHCP server, the DHCP server provides the IP address of a DNS server (amongst other things). So, you have to tell the DHCP server what IP address to give out, and you can find it by seeing which one you're currently using, which is stored in resolv.conf. | 07:09 |
| Hydrosis | Akkernight, I believe Ubuntu is the best for customization. | 07:09 |

| Hydrosis | abu, there are many people having problems with sound in Karmic. | 07:10 |
| giacmotrieuphu_h | 3 | 07:10 |
| Daughain | Well, it seems to be showing me the routers IP's. | 07:10 |
| FireIdea | :) did ubuntu have the SDK on game and platform to download? | 07:10 |
| abu | hello | 07:10 |
| rww | Daughain: That's fine. Many routers also function as DNS servers | 07:10 |
| sumoduno | after i install audacity my mic stops working. | 07:10 |
| Akkernight | Hydrosis: that's strange o.O Arch is a command/DOS/terminal, unless you start installing and customizing it to what you want, I don't see how a distro that has everything already installed is as customizable as that? | 07:10 |

| sumoduno | after i install audacity my mic stops working. | 07:17 |
| sidd | Awesome3000: hd(0,0) has some dell test utilities | 07:17 |
| talented | well, just hd0,1 means master, 2nd partition | 07:18 |
| Daughain | rww: Still getting the 'cannot bind IPv4" | 07:18 |
| Daughain | rww: Pastebin it? | 07:18 |
| rww | Daughain: yeah | 07:18 |
| Awesome3000 | sidd Boot from that to restore the Windose boot loader on the partition then install grub to the boot partition | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | sidd: You should use standard linux device names with grub-install | 07:18 |
| talented | which partition is Windows installed on? | 07:18 |
| iflema | sidd: generally you install to mbr or (hd0) e.g. sda not sda1 | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | sidd: It's more reliable and easier | 07:19 |
| sidd | Awesome3000: so after ensure vista is booting normally, i boot from rescue disk and say grub-install (hd0,4) which is the ubuntu / partition? | 07:19 |
| abu | hello hoe i enable sound in ubuntu 9.10 | 07:19 |
| talented | sidd, mbr usually resides on hd0,0 | 07:19 |
| sidd | iflema: but it is some dell utility partition - iG only. | 07:19 |
| Awesome3000 | sidd Yeah also the ubuntu partition needs to be the boot partition | 07:19 |
| iflema | sidd: there examples | 07:19 |
| sidd | should i still say grub-install(hd0,0)? | 07:20 |
| talented | if you put it on another partition, you need either another bootloader to acess that bootloader | 07:20 |
| ubuntunewbie | having some problem my ldd shows "libpng.so.3 => not found" but the guide show "libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0xb7f07000)" how do I link it ? | 07:20 |
| Slart | abu: the same way you disabled them.. they are enabled by default | 07:20 |
| sidd | Awesome3000: ok, will try that first | 07:20 |
| bullgard | rww: /usr/lib/gnome-applets/ does not include mixer_applet2. | 07:20 |
| iflema | sidd: (hd0) | 07:20 |
| sidd | else will put grub on (hd0,0) | 07:20 |
| abu | but in didnt get sound on my head ph | 07:20 |
| sidd | iflema: grub-install (hd0) ? | 07:20 |
| iflema | sidd: (hd0) = mbr = not on a particular partition | 07:20 |
| Daughain | rww: http://pastebin.ca/1749337 | 07:20 |
| Awesome3000 | sidd hd0,0 might not be formated with a usable filesystem | 07:21 |
| talented | sidd, usually I do things in the grub menu, not grub-install which means you've made it into an OS | 07:21 |
| iflema | sidd: provided you did not destroy vista boot... installing grub there will work and poick up vista | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | sidd: And I second iflema's comment that it's better to install to the mbr. And talented, (hd0,0) is *not* the mbr. | 07:21 |
| sidd | Jordan_U: ok. am doing it now. | 07:22 |
| talented | jordan, I didn't say it's the mbr, I said it's where it usually resides | 07:22 |

| Daughain | rww: No output for either command. | 07:25 |

| rww | Daughain: according to that, you have inetd running, which is probably still reserving the tftpd port for tftpd, even though you removed it. tftpd-hpa isn't running, presumably because it can't use the tftpd port because inetd is :\ | 07:33 |
| EastDallas | fire_princes: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:33 |

| Bodsda | rww: ok, silly question... whats the difference between dash and bash? | 08:18 |
| rww | Bodsda: it's been like that for a few releases now. dash is faster, and all the Ubuntu scripts that call sh work with it now. | 08:18 |
| MenZa | Bodsda: One has b, one has d.:p | 08:19 |
| Bodsda | rww: is it bash compatible or should I be writing dash scripts? | 08:19 |
| rww | Bodsda: dash is faster, supports all of the POSIX sh stuff, doesn't support bash extensions. | 08:19 |
| Bodsda | MenZa: so technical :) | 08:19 |
| MenZa | Bodsda: I am! | 08:19 |
| rww | Bodsda: dash is not compatible with various bashisms. | 08:19 |
| ubuntunewbie | thanks :-) | 08:19 |
| Bodsda | rww: hmm, ok cheers | 08:19 |
| MenZa | Bodsda: A suggestion from my end is to stick to bash unless you need the features in dash, and even then, consider zsh. | 08:19 |
| EastDallas | MenZa: I should use the url to the iCal format? | 08:20 |
| Daughain | rww: http://pastebin.ca/1749367 | 08:20 |
| MenZa | EastDallas: yup | 08:20 |
| MenZa | EastDallas: for example. /usr/lib/evolution-webcal/evolution-webcal http://example.com/calendar.ics | 08:20 |
| Bodsda | MenZa: well, yeah I use bash, but I know some people write 'bash' scripts using #! /bin/sh which is apparently actually calling dash instead | 08:20 |
| rww | Daughain: alright, huzzah, tftpd is actually running now | 08:20 |
| corecode | hey | 08:20 |
| rww | Daughain: try PXE booting the client again | 08:21 |
| chilipepper | How would I know if I have debian or jaunty? | 08:21 |
| rww | chilipepper: lsb_release -a | 08:21 |
| corecode | seems bindwood is killing my firefox | 08:21 |
| corecode | anybody else have that problem? | 08:21 |
| MenZa | Bodsda: /bin/sh is the bourne shell (traditionally), in Ubuntu, /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash I think | 08:21 |
| underdev | hmmm, | 08:21 |
| git__ | did Shuttleworth give up on ubunut? | 08:21 |
| MenZa | Right, I'm out. | 08:21 |
| chilipepper | thanks | 08:21 |
| Bodsda | MenZa: used to be, /bin/sh is now a link to dash | 08:21 |

| Ilmatic | Hey what's the command line to list ALL of my kernel modules? | 08:22 |
| Bodsda | Ilmatic: lsmod? | 08:22 |
| Dextronaught | I'm currently experiencing sound problems. I'm using Karmic. I get sound through Flash and Java of Firefox, but don't get any sound when I play music I've downloaded or when I try to use a program. I've checked my sound preferences and don't have any hardware, and no input devices either. I'm sure that my sound jacks are plugged in properly, and when I do get sound, when I do, I can get it out of both my onboard speakers, and my head | 08:23 |
| EastDallas | MenZa: looks like it worked. Thanks. | 08:23 |
| chilipepper | rww, it says no lsb modules are available | 08:23 |
| nahm | hello guys good morning | 08:23 |
| rww | chilipepper: there should be other output apart from that | 08:23 |
| meowbuntu | is this true for ubuntu the latest version of flash? it uses the GPU to do a lot of the work for flash videos i believe which could take the load off your CPU | 08:23 |
| Ilmatic | That doesn't do anything.. | 08:23 |
| Daughain | rww: Partial success... =) tftp 'file not found'. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu: no | 08:23 |
| Daughain | rww: Lemme check the log. | 08:23 |
| meowbuntu | ikonia, y the latest version of flash for debian is like that | 08:24 |
| corecode | bindwood eats massive amounts of memory | 08:24 |
| One`` | Heyup, I finally installed Ubuntu... can anyone help configuring xorg.conf? | 08:24 |
| Ilmatic | Anyone? | 08:24 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu: flash is the same across all platforms on linux | 08:24 |
| corecode | like 1gb in 2 seconds, and keeps rising | 08:24 |
| EastDallas | Anyone Else here using Docky? | 08:24 |
| corecode | any hint? | 08:24 |
| corecode | EastDallas: indeed | 08:24 |
| rww | Daughain: alright. I'm guessing you probably just need to move the netboot files somewhere else | 08:24 |
| Ilmatic | No one knows how to list current kernel modules through terminal? | 08:24 |
| meowbuntu | ikonia, so then the flash using gpu is better and i should get it right | 08:24 |
| chriswaterguy | Can I alter my default font size, without altering the resolution? | 08:24 |
| One`` | I need to know how to set my second monitor to 15kHz instead of 31 | 08:25 |

| binarysolo | can anyone help me get UNR installed on my eeepc? | 08:26 |
| binarysolo | i'm on OS X and i've tried to make a bootable thumb drive | 08:26 |
| binarysolo | but all my attempts have failed thus far | 08:26 |
| chriswaterguy | Bodsda: thanks | 08:26 |
| nahm | I did a upgrade to 9.10 and I have some issues: if I boot from the new kernel the boot drop me in a recovery option or ctrl+D to reboot. if I boot from the older kernel is ok. but why this append with this new kernel? how to fix this problem? (reinstall the machine is not an option, because is a server machine with some important apps | 08:26 |
| ikonia | nahm: using nvidia graphics ? | 08:27 |
| nahm | yes | 08:27 |
| Bodsda | chriswaterguy: your welcome | 08:27 |
| meowbuntu | is there any way for me to install a mac game | 08:27 |
| nahm | should I compile the kernel manualy ? | 08:27 |
| binarysolo | i'm not sure why but i've followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick to a T | 08:27 |
| ikonia | nahm: where did you get the drivers from | 08:28 |
| binarysolo | on multiple removable media drives (2 usb and 1 SD card) | 08:28 |
| ikonia | nahm: no ???? why would you compile a kernel ??? | 08:28 |
| rww | nahm: What command did you run to upgrade to 9.10? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu: no | 08:28 |
| iflema | llmatic: did ya get ya list? | 08:28 |
| Daughain | rww: Ya, thats my current guess....Back to the tuts and see where I messed up there. Thanks a lot helouing me get tftp working. =) I may be back, though, so fair warning. =) | 08:28 |
| rww | Daughain: alright. I'm going to sleep in about an hour, though ;P | 08:29 |
| Bigshot_ | how to check what version of software is installed? | 08:29 |
| bashca | hi there , codec_wav_tags when starting mplayer | 08:29 |
| Bigshot_ | shell command | 08:29 |
| binarysolo | if an .iso image needs to be in .img format, WHY doesn't the ubuntu download come in an .img file rather than an .iso? | 08:29 |
| Bigshot_ | postfix --version does not work | 08:29 |
| Daughain | rww: I beleibe the issue there in in my bootptab file, I'm not sure I have all the paths in the porper places. SHould I pastebin it? | 08:29 |
| Daughain | rww: I spent enough time in this a few days ago, I have a pretty good ifdea where I think my problems are/were. =) | 08:29 |
| nahm | ikonia, 1 / drivers downloaded by ubuntu repo. 2 / just run synaptic (upgrade) | 08:29 |
| adamonline451 | Is there a way to make all the line breaks in gedit the same? | 08:30 |
| binarysolo | i've even tried to use unetbootin from the eeepc (4G xandros, default) and i made it executable but i get some weird error printed in the shell | 08:30 |
| binarysolo | \ | 08:30 |
| corecode | anybody? bindwood problems? | 08:30 |
| rww | Daughain: I'm not sure you're actually using bootp. I think PXE goes directly to the DHCP server, which goes to tftpd. I could be wrong, though. | 08:30 |
| ikonia | nahm: I'd remove the nvidia package and re-install them, it's possible they didn't get upgraded and thus may not be compatible with the newer kernel | 08:30 |
| rww | Daughain: i.e., your DHCP server is doing what a bootp server would do | 08:31 |
| nahm | ikonia i will try, thanks for the tips. | 08:31 |
| git__ | PXE | 08:31 |
| Daughain | rww: I'm using all three, in some arrangement, according to the tuts I am using. The first thing I had to do was install and setup bootp | 08:31 |
| binarysolo | anyone have any experience installing ubuntu from a thumb drive or other removable storage device on to an asus eeepc using OS X? | 08:31 |
| === ab2283_ is now known as ab2283 | ||
| Daughain | rww: I beleive the bootp server is used pretty much to open the remote channel to the client. | 08:31 |
| sleepy_cat | anyone heard of pidgin-twitter? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | binarysolo: using os X on that machine is illegal - please don't discuss that situation here | 08:32 |
| ab2283 | can i make bind9 have it's own searchlist for incomplete queries by clients ? aka - move the dns suffix setting from the clients to the bind machine, since incomplete queries (hostnames) will only be on one certain domain | 08:32 |
| binarysolo | WTF I'm trying to install UBUNTU on my EEE PC while using OS X as my machine (NOT A PC) | 08:32 |
| ikonia | ab2283: that's set on the client | 08:32 |
| rww | Daughain: Again, It's my understanding that the PXE system talks directly to DHCP :\ | 08:32 |
| chriswaterguy | anyone know the command that runs the preferences GUI? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | binarysolo: 1.) control your language 2.) Mac OS on EEE PC is illegal so we can't help you with that platform | 08:33 |
| binarysolo | I'm sorry but you don't understand. I'm not INSTALLING OS X on the eee pc. | 08:33 |
| ab2283 | ikonia, usually is. but since there are/will be *loads* of different machines on that network, i'd prefer to make that setting server side if at all possible | 08:33 |
| nahm | ikonia, but if I understand right, I must boot the older kernel, apt-get remove nvidia-driver and reboot from the new kernel right? | 08:33 |
| Dravekx | someone tell me how to install zend optimizer on ubuntu server???? | 08:33 |
| ardchoille | binarysolo: you have OSX running on an eeepc? | 08:33 |
| rww | Daughain: if your problem is just tftpd saying file not found, I'd go check that you're storing the netboot files in the place where tftpd is serving files from, and that dhcp is suggesting the right path. | 08:33 |
| iflema | chriswaterguy: is this the one? gnome-control-center | 08:33 |
| binarysolo | I'm currently on an Mac machine and I want to make a bootable thumb drive for the eee pc so I can install ubuntu on it | 08:33 |
| ikonia | nahm: do it from the newer kernel | 08:33 |
| binarysolo | how is this any different from using a PC to get the job done? | 08:34 |
| Daughain | rww: Ok, I'm just going by the steps my tuts gave me. I dont know enoughto have any opinions. =) dhcp just loads a filename, no path. | 08:34 |
| ikonia | binarysolo: ahhh so you're using a mac to make the thumb drive | 08:34 |
| Dravekx | ahhh frick. | 08:34 |
| Dravekx | thats why | 08:34 |
| binarysolo | Yeah I should have been more precise | 08:34 |
| ab2283 | ikonia, it's a production floor with a throughput of 3500 different machines a month ;) | 08:34 |
| Daughain | rww: SHould I put the path in the dhcp.conf? | 08:34 |
| ikonia | binarysolo: my apologies | 08:34 |
| nahm | ok | 08:34 |
| justme07 | so now i plugged the ethernet cord directlyinto and it says i have a wired connection | 08:34 |
| ardchoille | binarysolo: Oh, I thought you had OSX running on an eeepc | 08:34 |
| nahm | &exit | 08:34 |
| rww | Daughain: what does dhcp say right now? | 08:34 |
| binarysolo | Nono just on OS X currently trying to make this bootable thumb drive with Ubuntu 9.10 on it | 08:34 |
| rww | Daughain: dhcp.conf ** | 08:34 |
| iflema | justme07: go to synaptic package manager | 08:34 |
| ikonia | ab2283: set the search preferences via dhcp | 08:35 |
| binarysolo | and since I can't use unetbootin on my computer.. I'm trying to follow the instructions on how to make a bootable thumb drive with a mac via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 08:35 |
| chriswaterguy | iflema: looks good, thanks. | 08:35 |
| ab2283 | ikonia, i've got the default domain for the subnet set already. is there any other option i need to be looking for? | 08:35 |
| Daughain | rww: This is the only line relating to the file needed: "filename "pxelinux.0";" | 08:35 |
| binarysolo | i've done it maybe 5 times on different removable devices.. ubuntu seems to have been installd to them but they won't boot even when I specify to boot from the USB first on the eeepc | 08:36 |
| ikonia | ab2283: look at the search parameter that's additional search suffixes | 08:36 |
| iflema | chriswaterguy: right click on applications menu and edit menus... under system in left pane | 08:36 |
| Daughain | rww: The pxelinux.0 file is installed in the dir I was told to install it to according to step 4 in this tut.: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 08:36 |
| binarysolo | then someone suggested instead of using my mac to make the bootable thumb drive.. try to download unetbootin on the eeepc (currently has xandros) but for some reason it won't open for me | 08:36 |
| ab2283 | ikonia, roger that. thx | 08:37 |
| binarysolo | anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? | 08:37 |
| rww | Daughain: alright. So /etc/default/tftpd-hpa points to /var/lib/tftpboot/, and there exists a file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | binarysolo: never done it on a mac | 08:37 |
| binarysolo | i'm tempted to buy one of those pre-loaded thumb drives off of ebay with ubuntu installed already haha | 08:37 |
| Daughain | rww: This tut has me first setting up bootp, then installing and setting up dhcp. https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html | 08:38 |
| Daughain | rww: Yes. | 08:38 |

| foexle | hi guys, 2.6.31-16-server kernel supports xen virt ? Or i must install the old debian kernel ? | 08:38 |
| rww | Daughain: No, it says "There are two BOOTP servers available for GNU/Linux. The first is CMU bootpd. The other is actually a DHCP server: ISC dhcpd." (i.e., pick one) and then shows how to set up both. | 08:38 |
| ikonia | foexle: it will support virtualsation extensions if your cpu does, I believe there is a specific xen kernel though | 08:39 |
| Munkie | Hello all | 08:39 |
| rww | Daughain: Like I said, if you set up a DHCP server, it does the things that BOOTP would usually do. | 08:39 |
| Daughain | rww: Ok, that was confusing me... =) I've been suing linux for 1 month. I barely understood most of the tuts I was using. | 08:39 |

| LewisDre4m | "great community support" cheers guys. I can't wait to get back to windows! (seriously) | 08:50 |
| Bodsda | wyt: what errors do you get? | 08:50 |
| benx | halli van it magyar | 08:50 |
| papul | EastDallas, i want a software which users have tried and tested | 08:50 |
| Slart | LewisDre4m: could depend on a number of reasons.. you would want to look at the bit/s of the video stream instead of just resolution.. it might... nevermind | 08:50 |
| Daughain | viliny: I check my tftpboot file, and it shows the right dir, I check the dir, AND MY link is sitting right there in the folder.....Now I am once again lost. =) | 08:51 |
| wyt | ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, | 08:51 |
| wyt | ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make | 08:51 |
| wyt | sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start eth2 <#>' | 08:51 |
| wyt | Sysfs injection support was not found either. | 08:51 |
| FloodBot1 | wyt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:51 |
| foexle | @ikonia ok i try it, but the kernel 2.6.31-16-server does'nt support xen-virt ... it think the kernel modules are not enabled | 08:51 |
| Daughain | viliny: And beleive me, rww helped me enormously! | 08:51 |
| foexle | but why offer ubuntu an xen package without a kernel | 08:51 |
| foexle | im worry about this -.- | 08:51 |
| Bodsda | wyt: It looks like your card is not able to do packet injection - please ensure you installed the patched drivers as per the website | 08:51 |
| hbsmiley7 | #ubuntu, I have a problem... I can't change my permissions on a mounted (non ext#) partition. | 08:52 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: can you give examples? Filesystem, mount point etc | 08:52 |
| Daughain | viliny: I'm guessing I have an IP wrong in my dhcp.conf | 08:52 |
| foexle | @hbsmiley7 which fs ? | 08:52 |
| hbsmiley7 | I set it to mount under its own folder in fstab. (home/name/storage) | 08:53 |
| wyt | bodsda: which drivers would you be referring to? im online with via wireless right now. | 08:53 |
| hbsmiley7 | fat32 filesystem. | 08:53 |
| foexle | lol :> | 08:53 |
| hbsmiley7 | It just says root is owner and I can't change it, even if I run nautilus as root. | 08:53 |
| Daughain | viliny: I get the feeling that at least one IP should be the server IP. | 08:53 |
| Bodsda | wyt: yes, but packet injection requires patched drivers for certain chipsets - start here -- http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=getting_started | 08:54 |
| wyt | thanks | 08:54 |
| hbsmiley7 | Ideas? | 08:54 |
| foexle | i think fat32 does'nt support any permissions ... so not the same as unix/linux | 08:54 |
| hbsmiley7 | I know it doesn't, but I thought Linux just faked it and did such and such.. | 08:55 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: fat32 does not support permission iirc. Only mount permissions (drive access) not file level permissions | 08:55 |
| hbsmiley7 | So once I mount it I can't access the files? | 08:56 |
| genii | hbsmiley7: Add options uid=XXX and gid=XXX in fstab mount line, where XXX is your user and group # | 08:56 |
| hbsmiley7 | Hmm.. ok, where would I find my user and group #? | 08:56 |
| genii | (typically 1000) | 08:56 |
| Daughain | viliny: Err.....????? Any ideas? | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: no, once its mounted you should have rw access - what is the device name and how is it mounted according to fstab? | 08:57 |
| monkey_ | Ive got a question here | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | monkey_: fire away at the channel | 08:58 |
| hbsmiley7 | This is the line from fstab: /dev/sda7 /home/michael/Storage-vfat vfat defaults 0 0 | 08:58 |
| brandon- | my ubuntu feels sluggish sometimes, any suggestions for optimizing it? | 08:59 |
| windsok | I set up a new raid5 array with mdadm, and put an ext4 filesystem on it. df -h shows size=1.8T, used=196M. There is nothing on the filesystem, what would be taking up that 196M? | 08:59 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: ok, and what is displayed from 'mount | grep sda7' | 08:59 |
| brandon- | especially after updates, it feels really sluggish until i reboot (even if the update does not require a reboot) | 08:59 |
| genii | hbsmiley7: grep $(whoami) /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3 will tell you what XXX to put | 08:59 |
| Slart | brandon-: stop running big apps in the background? you haven't really told us anything about your system.. | 08:59 |
| brandon- | i dont run anything in the background | 09:00 |
| brandon- | i can just have xchat opena it does it | 09:00 |
| Slart | windsok: space reserved for root? | 09:00 |
| hbsmiley7 | Bodsda: /dev/sda7 on /home/michael/Storage-vfat type vfat (rw) | 09:00 |
| genii | hbsmiley7: Where it says: defaults put uid=1000,gid=1000,users,rw | 09:00 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: ok, you already have full read write access to the drive | 09:00 |
| mneptok | brandon-: disable Compiz? | 09:00 |
| windsok | Slart: I ran sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/md0 to remove the reservations | 09:01 |
| brandon- | im using XFCE - doesn it disable compiz? | 09:01 |
| itmguser1 | gui interface crashed on ubuntu 9.10 | 09:01 |
| monkey_ | My sound card will sometimes just stop working randomly and my system wont even recongnize it. but sometimes it will. Any suggestions | 09:01 |
| windsok | Slart: before i mounted | 09:01 |
| brandon- | how do i disable compiz | 09:01 |
| Slart | brandon-: check htop or system monitor.. see if anything is using cpu cycles.. there's also iotop for io activity | 09:01 |
| hbsmiley7 | Bodsda: Umm.. yeah, you're right I do right now.. | 09:01 |
| hbsmiley7 | When I started the question I didn't.. | 09:01 |
| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: :) | 09:01 |
| Slart | windsok: hmm.. then I don't really know... | 09:01 |

| Bodsda | hbsmiley7: continue with what genii was saying to ensure you have rw access when it is mounted on boot | 09:02 |
| brandon- | installing iotop now | 09:02 |
| hbsmiley7 | Thanks, will do. I'll let you know if I have any more problems. | 09:03 |

| intok | first time wubi install, clean install of XP on this box, hasn't been connected to net yet for updates, first thing I tried to install is ubuntu 9.10 64 bit via the install cd, but I can't get ubuntu to boot, don't see a grub menu or anything | 09:07 |
| Bodsda | monkey_: try running 'gnome-volume-control' from the terminal | 09:07 |
| Bodsda | intok: 'tried' to install or succeeded? | 09:08 |
| ishu | hi is there mysql-cluster packages available? | 09:08 |
| achourhx_ | hello all, guys anyone know how to disable NIS authentication? my requirement is to get information from the NIS server like login name, uid, gid home directory but the authentication will be done through an other server, so far everything is working however both password accepted NIS or kerberos | 09:08 |
| brandon- | how come stuff i check/uncheck in compiz-settings-manager keeps rechecking/unchecking | 09:08 |
| === ishu is now known as vishah | ||
| Bodsda | ishu: not by that package name afaik | 09:08 |
| brandon- | im on ubuntu, but i installed xfce4 for speed | 09:08 |
| Axius | hello | 09:09 |
| monkey_ | that did nothing as well | 09:09 |
| vishah | Bodsda: which package is it that provides mysql cluster on Ubuntu 9.10? | 09:09 |
| centhurion | k, did it | 09:09 |
| EastDallas | monkey_: what version of Ubuntu? | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | vishah: sorry, im not sure - try grepping an apt-cache search mysqk | 09:10 |
| Bodsda | vishah: sorry, im not sure - try grepping an apt-cache search mysql | 09:10 |
| intok | Bodsda succeed, but still can't find a reason as to why I can't boot into ubuntu | 09:10 |
| vishah | I have done that, it's not there. I'm wondering if there are other places where the package might be available | 09:10 |

| ubuntunewbie | hi what is (Human-readable location such as "Lab 1") | 09:13 |
| ubuntunewbie | anyone know what does it mean ? | 09:13 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: where did you see this? | 09:13 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi Slart : at the add printer section , cup | 09:13 |
| === Guest401 is now known as david | ||
| twright | ubuntunewbie: the human readable location for printers is just a note you can use to remind you which is which | 09:14 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi Slart : locahost:631 | 09:14 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: Probably just a description string for the printer | 09:14 |
| === david is now known as Guest98754 | ||
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: so it's fine to add anything word ? | 09:14 |
| EastDallas | monkey_: There are some know sound issues with Karmic. Take a look at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats | 09:14 |
| twright | ubuntunewbie: e.g. call the computer in your office Office Printer | 09:14 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: ok thanks :-) | 09:14 |
| brandon- | how come stuff i check/uncheck in compiz-settings-manager keeps rechecking/unchecking | 09:14 |
| Slart | ubuntunewbie: ie something that shows up in printer queues and properties.. could be used to tell printers apart | 09:14 |
| brandon- | im on ubuntu, but i installed xfce4 for speed | 09:14 |
| Bodsda | brandon-: lol - sorry, that tickled me - speed is gained more by using WM's not DE's and stripping the needless packages. XFCE does not give much of a performance increase | 09:15 |
| ubuntunewbie | Slart: how do I check my printer whether which USB is connected ? | 09:15 |
| brandon- | meh well i like how it looks more so | 09:15 |
| rashmi | #drupal-infrastructure | 09:15 |
| brandon- | better customization | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | ubuntunewbie: if I understand the question, 'lsusb' will list usb devices | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | brandon-: fair enough | 09:16 |
| ubuntunewbie | Bodsda: which usb is it? Bus 002 Device 009: ID 04a9:10c1 Canon, Inc. | 09:16 |
| twright | ubuntunewbie: that is your second usb port - it depends on the computer which one it actually is | 09:17 |
| remyo_ | How do you change the colors used in the tree command | 09:17 |
| brandon- | bodsa | 09:17 |
| brandon- | any idea why ccsm keeps rechecking settings i change | 09:17 |
| ubuntunewbie | twright : can I edit it again if I choose the wrong one now ? | 09:18 |
| montom | hi guys i installed ubuntu 9.10 on a Toshiba satellite L505D with acpi=off and it heating up alot can anyone help? | 09:18 |
| twright | remyo_: those will be your default terminal colours - you can change them in your terminal programs preferences | 09:18 |
| Bodsda | brandon-: no sorry - it shouldnt, try launching it with sudo and if that doesnt work, ask in #compiz or there other support channels | 09:18 |
| remyo_ | twright: But no way to change them specifically for tree? | 09:18 |
| brandon- | ok | 09:18 |
| twright | ubuntunewbie: yes - printers should be added automatically though | 09:19 |
| Dextronaught | I'm currently experiencing sound problems. I'm using Karmic. I get sound through Flash and Java of Firefox, but don't get any sound when I play music I've downloaded or when I try to use a program. I've checked my sound preferences and don't have any hardware, and no input devices either. I'm sure that my sound jacks are plugged in properly, and when I do get sound, when I do, I can get it out of both my onboard speakers, and my head | 09:19 |
| twright | remyo_: I don't think so - terminals only allow a limited set of colours for legacy reasons | 09:19 |
| montom | hi guys i installed ubuntu 9.10 on a Toshiba satellite L505D with acpi=off and its heating up alot can help please | 09:20 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: try installing gnome-alsamixer and check your levels using it. | 09:20 |
| twright | !sound | Dextronaught | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Dextronaught: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:20 |
| benx | Hello what's up? | 09:20 |
| Dextronaught | ok, 1 second, EastDallas | 09:20 |
| remyo_ | twright: Alright, thanks | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | Dextronaught: or just use 'alsamixer' that is already installed | 09:20 |
| Akkernight | When downloading Ubuntu to be used for a laptop, should I download the Netbook Remix? | 09:20 |
| twright | remyo_: that is fine | 09:21 |
| Dextronaught | Bodsda, I can access alsamixer... but... | 09:21 |
| Bodsda | Akkernight: only if you want a cut down version that might take some getting used to | 09:21 |
| Dextronaught | my point is, I have sound on Firefox basically, just not out of it | 09:21 |
| twright | Akkernight: that depends - ubuntu netbook remix has a different interface | 09:21 |
| Akkernight | Ok, also with a 64bit Ubuntu, will Wine work? | 09:21 |
| Dextronaught | where could I download gnome-alsamixer? | 09:21 |
| Dextronaught | synaptic? | 09:21 |
| twright | Akkernight: yes although you might have issues with opengl | 09:22 |
| Akkernight | twirght, why opengl? | 09:22 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer | 09:22 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: do you have lame installed? | 09:22 |
| twright | Dextronaught: it should be in there but you just use the alsamixer command instead | 09:22 |
| Dextronaught | lame? I don't think so. | 09:23 |
| twright | Akkernight: there are some serious bugs with graphics, 64bit and Wine (although they might have been fixed since I used it) | 09:23 |
| Dextronaught | yes I do have lame | 09:23 |
| montom | twright : i installed ubuntu 9.10 on a Toshiba satellite L505D with acpi=off and it heating up alot help please | 09:23 |
| Dextronaught | and I just installed gnome-alsamixer | 09:23 |
| Slart | twright, Akkernight: I've never experienced any serious problems with 64bit ubuntu and wine | 09:24 |
| twright | montom: hi, your problem is probably the powermanagment | 09:24 |
| montom | how do i fix it | 09:24 |
| Diverdude | Hello... Is there any way to utiize the nice calendar ubuntu has in the top right corner net to the clock, so that I can put appointments etc. into it? | 09:25 |
| kc1993 | I conflicting package and I can't remove it | 09:25 |
| Dextronaught | EastDallas, what could I do with lame? where can I find it? | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | I didn't get much done with the gnome-alsamixer, it's not really my problem | 09:26 |
| Slart | Diverdude: I think it might be the same calender you see in Evolution | 09:26 |
| montom | twright : how do i fix it ? | 09:26 |
| twright | montom: montom if you install apt:hddtemp and run the command hddtemp /dev/sda that should tell you what is going on | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | in my sound preferences, I don't have any hardware to pick | 09:26 |
| brishu | Diverdude, you can use a program such as Evolution to change the calendar, | 09:26 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: lame is the mp3 codec for linux | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | Oo, well, cd audio doesn't play | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | it plays | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | but | 09:26 |
| Dextronaught | I don't hear anything | 09:26 |
| FloodBot1 | Dextronaught: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:27 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: CD audio? That could be hardware. There's a cable that goes from your CD drive to your soundcard for CD Audio. | 09:27 |
| twright | montom: you might also want to add the cpu freq applet to your panel and set your cpu powersave or conservitive mode | 09:27 |
| Diverdude | brishu, aha i see, so that means that if i make an appointment in evolution, it will show up in the calender in the top right corner? | 09:27 |
| Dextronaught | I have a laptop, sonud was working earlier today, I restarted and no more | 09:28 |
| Dextronaught | yesterday I had XP on it and sound worked fine | 09:28 |
| === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin | ||
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: ok | 09:28 |
| brishu | Diverdude, yes. | 09:28 |
| Diverdude | brishu, aha, thats awesome...and vice versa? | 09:28 |
| brishu | Diverdude, no, you cant edit the calendar taht pops outta the clock ... | 09:29 |
| Diverdude | brishu, and there is no path or plugin or anything that will change that? | 09:29 |
| montom | twright : am getting this error when i try to add the cpu freg applet to the panel : You will not be able to modify the frequency of your machine. Your machine may be misconfigured or not have hardware support for CPU frequency scaling. | 09:30 |
| brishu | Diverdude, not that i know of .... | 09:30 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: did you check levels in gnome-alsamixer? | 09:30 |
| brishu | but there is a workaround | 09:30 |
| Dextronaught | yes, I even fiddled with it a bit (remembering how it was originally) and nothing | 09:30 |
| heavywater | wake up in the morning feeling like p diddy | 09:30 |
| Real_Ubot | What is the best way to synchronize mails between a laptop and a desktop computer? I use Evolution as client nowdays. | 09:30 |
| heavywater | grab my glasses, im out the door, im gonna hit this city | 09:31 |
| kc1993 | I have a conflicting package and I can't remove it | 09:31 |
| Dextronaught | I've used the original alsamixer before, I insist, that's not the problem :p | 09:31 |
| nuclearpussy | alsamix my junk and i'll fiddle your flute | 09:31 |
| heavywater | before i leave , brush my teeth with a bottle of jack | 09:31 |
| brishu | if you have a calendar that is synced to Evolution and another Calendar app, you can just use the calendar App to change/add/remove the appointments and it would show up in the calendar | 09:31 |
| brishu | Diverdude, ^^ | 09:31 |
| Dextronaught | earlier today, when all my sound worked, I could go to the sound preferences | 09:31 |
| heavywater | cause when i leave for the night , i aint coming back | 09:31 |
| Dextronaught | and had hardware | 09:31 |
| twright | montom: in that case your cpu must not support powerscaling | 09:31 |
| Dextronaught | and input devices | 09:31 |

| ugliefrog_01 | is there a way to use apple software on ubuntu | 09:33 |

| yuhl | arvind_khadri, thanks | 09:34 |
| twright | yuhl: if you create a .desktop file in ~/local/share/applications that should add it | 09:34 |
| arvind_khadri | yuhl, np :) | 09:34 |
| twright | montom: in that case you might need to manually configure powersaving ... | 09:35 |
| brishu | kc1993, what package is it ?? | 09:35 |
| yuhl | arvind_khadri, twright: that was really fast :) | 09:35 |

| twright | montom: for a laptop, that is a fairly low temp | 09:42 |
| ardchoille | !usb | sa-evo | 09:42 |
| ubottu | sa-evo: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:42 |
| rww | sa-evo: Maybe, if you put another flash drive in there and point the installer at it. I haven't tried it, though. | 09:42 |
| Dextronaught | I can like.... uncheck the green dot | 09:42 |
| Dextronaught | so I try to remove | 09:42 |
| Dextronaught | and it'll say error, let me tell you exactly what it says. | 09:42 |

| ubottu | ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga | 09:42 |
| twright | montom: although that is just the hard drive temperature | 09:42 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: you can't uncheck the green dot. | 09:42 |
| Dextronaught | SystemError: installArchives() failed | 09:43 |
| Dextronaught | and that's when I try to remove it | 09:43 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: you click the oone that has the green dot, then click remove | 09:43 |
| sa-evo | ardchille: What does !USB do? | 09:43 |
| meowbuntu | rww, there is python-skype and skypesentials in synaptic | 09:43 |
| Dextronaught | mmmm, ok, 1 sec | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | sa-evo: see the message the bot posted for you | 09:43 |
| sa-evo | Checking. Didn't realize it had posted something for me, hahaha. | 09:44 |
| montom | twright : can the hight temparatures affect my laptop? | 09:44 |
| Dextronaught | EastDallas, it kinda froze on me lol | 09:44 |
| rww | meowbuntu: python-skype is a programming library, skypesentials does not exist. | 09:44 |
| Dextronaught | and I can't close it | 09:44 |
| EastDallas | give it a second | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | I'm trying to look for it in my processes | 09:45 |
| rww | meowbuntu: if you want to install Skype in Ubuntu, please use the instructions ubottu provided | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | ok | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | I'll wait I guess | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | Oo | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | I moved the window | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | and saw that I hadn't clicked ok for that error message it gave me | 09:45 |
| twright | montom: yes - they do have the potential to damage your laptop (the graphics card in particular) | 09:45 |
| Dextronaught | yeah, I highlight it, the dot that's green, and can't remove it | 09:46 |
| Dextronaught | it's the only driver that I have there anyways | 09:46 |
| twright | montom: there is a quite full report on this issue here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679 | 09:46 |
| sa-evo | ardchoille: I do believe that is the guide that I followed to have live USB. Does that allow me to install the OS to the USB flash drive as if it were a normal hard drive and be able to install programs? | 09:46 |
| ardchoille | sa-evo: I'm not sure, I haven't ever tried it | 09:47 |
| dryg | yo yo yo | 09:47 |
| Dextronaught | EastDallas, amarok is getting my whole collection from my external harddrive, it's at 87%, do you think that might be a reason why it doesn't let me? cuz it's in use somehow since you think it has to do something with my audio | 09:47 |
| dryg | i need some assistance my friends | 09:47 |
| sa-evo | ardchoille: Thanks. I just don't like the idea of being limited to live just because it is a USB flash drive. | 09:47 |
| brishu | !ask | dryg | 09:47 |
| ubottu | dryg: 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. :-) | 09:47 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: oooooohhhhhhhhh....you're using amarok...are you using kubuntu? | 09:47 |
| dryg | i have a folder full of 1-1.5MB .jpg's that I need to resize small enough for forum uploading! | 09:48 |

| makeitcrunk | we goin out tonight? | 09:49 |
| dryg | nifty | 09:49 |
| Dextronaught | but... TeamSpeak 3 and TeamSpeak 2 won't do nothing, I don't have any hardware in my sound preferences as I said, and Skype doesn't have sound either | 09:49 |
| kesha | wake up in the morning feelin like p diddy? | 09:49 |
| Dextronaught | no mic, nothing | 09:49 |
| meowbuntu | rww, that command !skype need to be modified to link for ubuntu 9.10 installer | 09:49 |
| makeitcrunk | sing it girl | 09:49 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: I used amarok at one time, and I had to jump through hoops to get it to play audio in Ubuntu. I believe you have to install gstreamer, and make that the default playback method in amarok. | 09:49 |
| makeitcrunk | NO KESHA | 09:49 |
| octaveous | hello, can anyone tell me how to change the BOOT SPLASH of the live ubuntu cd, or at least the file that it uses for boot menu | 09:49 |
| meowbuntu | there is a girl on here who is that | 09:49 |
| montom | twright : when should i be worried when the cpu temperatures are up? | 09:49 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: have you tried playback using any other programs, like rhythmbox? | 09:49 |
| Dextronaught | yes, and it plays, but I don't hear nothing | 09:50 |
| Dextronaught | and yes, I've installed mp3 codecs or w/e | 09:50 |
| Myrtti | meowbuntu: ? | 09:50 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: gstreamer is not a codec, it's a driver of sorts. | 09:50 |
| Dextronaught | it's cuz I don't have hardware. I wonder why I can't delete that modem :( | 09:50 |
| twright | montom: that depends on your computer although as a general rule anything above 50-60C is worrying | 09:50 |
| Dextronaught | ok, can I get gstreamer from synaptic? | 09:51 |
| Dextronaught | maybe it doesn't let me removei t cuz I never closed synaptic | 09:51 |
| garymc | Hi i seem to have a problem in my gnome in ubuntu. Anytime i create a desktop launcher and chose type "location" after i make the launcher it makes itself as an application. Anyone know what is going on here? | 09:51 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: yeah, close synaptic and try | 09:51 |
| Dextronaught | yes, gstreamer was already installed | 09:51 |
| octaveous | hello, can anyone tell me how to change the BOOT SPLASH of the live ubuntu cd, or at least the file that it uses for boot menu | 09:51 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: close synaptic and try to remove that modem | 09:51 |
| rww | meowbuntu: meowbuntu Do you have 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? | 09:52 |
| EastDallas | Dextronaught: I've got amarok on another machine...let me go look at it, I'll brb | 09:52 |
| Dextronaught | its removing | 09:52 |
| Dextronaught | it removed, now let me check if I got sound | 09:52 |

| rww | meowbuntu: Download http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32 , then double-click it | 09:53 |
| tarnzwerg | double check if u have the right checksums - and than d/l again - no other way | 09:53 |

| Dextronaught | no sound, but I still don't have hardware in my sound preferences, I don't think it's amarok | 09:53 |
| Dextronaught | I don't get sound from other players either. | 09:53 |

Have all the hardware vendors now dropped Linux infavour of XP and 7? | 09:55 |
| tarnzwerg | I had experienced problems with continuing features of several download tools. so *maybe* this is the root of your problem | 09:55 |
| twright | montom: another option which might work better is pci=noacpi | 09:55 |

| One`` | It doesn't have the custom resolution options I need. | 10:18 |
| koshari | One` you may need to use your monitors edid info | 10:18 |
| ardchoille | riphost: you need to be in #ubuntu+1 | 10:19 |
| duranet | how can I remote ubuntu from win xp? | 10:19 |
| MookyMoo | riphost: I'm not sure about the command-line system but my guess would be adding commands to a bash script which you set to run on boot? | 10:19 |
| One`` | koshari, it has no EDID info because I don't have any data lines in the cable, plus it's a CRT television. | 10:20 |
| riphost | yeah, but which script? | 10:20 |
| One`` | VGA-SCART | 10:20 |
| ardchoille | riphost: you're using Lucid Lynx, a development version of Ubuntu, you need ask your questions in #ubuntu+1 | 10:20 |
| riphost | actually I don't need the logon part, just startx to be run as my user | 10:20 |
| riphost | well this would be exactly the same for karmic wouldnt it? | 10:20 |
| koshari | One` the gpu wont let you run a resolution outside the monitors capabilities automatically, you may need a modeline | 10:21 |
| ardchoille | !lucid | riphost | 10:21 |
| ubottu | riphost: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 10:21 |

| MookyMoo | superpiiii: virtualbox-ose | 10:22 |
| One`` | Yes it's 4:3 CRT TV | 10:22 |
| koshari | i ahvnt edited an xorg modeline for ages , i think it needs to be in the monitor or screen section | 10:23 |
| koshari | One` can you boot an earlier live disc and copy the xorg file? | 10:23 |
| One`` | Why boot an earlier one? | 10:23 |
| One`` | I have this mode line which I need to add - "640x480" 13.500 640 704 768 880 480 586 591 719 interlace -hsync -vsync | 10:24 |

| sipior | duncan-nz: depends on how you copy them. check out the "-a" switch to cp, for example. or "-p" when using tar. | 11:06 |
| theadmin | eh what the. Update manager found updates twice in a row. Oh well... *installs* | 11:06 |
| RobotCow | London90, update-alternatives java | 11:07 |
| theadmin | why is update manager icon sometimes orange and sometimes red? | 11:08 |
| duncan-nz | sipior, what i need is to copy my karmic install to a new disk before I dump the old (dying) one. Would this be the best way to do that? | 11:08 |

| ae86-drifter | VSpike, whats the difference between find and locate? | 11:51 |
| VSpike | ae86-drifter: find is a lot more flexible and powerful, and does a live find. locate searches a database which is updated regularly by a cron job. | 11:53 |
| VSpike | ae86-drifter: also, locate excludes some areas of the file system | 11:53 |
| VSpike | ae86-drifter: find can search anywhere you tell it | 11:53 |

| ae86-drifter | locate seems to find everything for me, using regexes etc | 11:53 |
| rob_p | ae86-drifter: VSpike: ...or you can do, "updatedb" before you search with locate, in case you are looking for recent files. | 11:53 |

| rob_p | ae86-drifter: VSpike: Like most any software, the more features/capability you give it, the more complex it gets for the user. This is especially true for command line tools. The find utility is indeed a powerful one. But when I don't need to use it (and spend the time looking up the correct syntax), I use locate. | 11:56 |

| rww | papul: the second field (that we're using * for) is user, btw. | 12:04 |
| VSpike | And they misspelled the file name (disseration.doc) | 12:04 |
| ae86-drifter | VSpike, cool, i suppose ill learn it if i need to one day | 12:04 |
| VSpike | So I ended up searching for all files modified in the last 24 hours less than 10MB in size that contained the word "protectionalism" | 12:05 |
| knoxville | I got a .trash on my USB stick with quite some GB.. But I can't delete it.. Tried trough terminal, and trough GUI. | 12:05 |
| papul | rww: thanks | 12:05 |
| Knight52 | Hello , when i using Wine to run windows application , the application is running but without text at all , i can see the buttons etc.. but with no text , i think its related to the fonts . any idea how can i fix this problem ? | 12:05 |
| VSpike | That's where find comes in handy :) | 12:05 |
| ae86-drifter | VSpike, are you sure that "locate" doesnt search ALL files? | 12:05 |
| rob_p | VSpike: Good example! Yes, find is your friend in that case. :-) | 12:05 |
| fire_princes | Hi everyone | 12:06 |
| VSpike | ae86-drifter: um, no. I know you can make it not do it. Look in /etc/updatedb.conf for PRUNEPATHS PRUNENAMES and PRUNEFS | 12:06 |
| ae86-drifter | VSpike, thanks for the tips, i will probably try to use find from now on :) | 12:07 |
| ae86-drifter | so updatedb does not apply to find? or what... | 12:07 |
| rob_p | ae86-drifter: It's not a, "one or the other" proposition... use 'em both, depending on the situation. | 12:08 |
| bullgard | I backed up /home and /etc. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 using the Desktop Edition CD. How can I restore the old high resolution of my virtual consoles? VGA controller is ATI RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]. I am not yet familiar with Grub2. | 12:09 |
| ae86-drifter | rob_p, okay cool, well if locate doesnt do what i need one time then i now know what to do hehe | 12:09 |
| ae86-drifter | backed up etc? why? | 12:10 |
| rob_p | ae86-drifter: updatedb updates the db used by (m)locate. The find utility does not rely on the db created by updatedb. | 12:10 |
| knoxville | I got a .trash on my USB stick with quite some GB.. But I can't delete it.. Tried trough terminal, and trough GUI. | 12:10 |
| knoxville | It says it's read only files | 12:11 |
| ae86-drifter | rob_p, so in other words, use locate as it is faster, unless you need the advanced searching features of find? | 12:11 |
| arnotixe | ae86-drifter, that's why find is so slow compared to locate | 12:11 |
| rob_p | ae86-drifter: Exactly! | 12:11 |
| okhomenko | Hi all | 12:11 |
| silv3r_m00n | if I install all packages in synaptic , how much space would that use ? | 12:11 |
| rww | silv3r_m00n: You can't. Various packages conflict with various other packages. | 12:12 |
| arnotixe | ae86-drifter, if you want even "quicker and better" search, you could use beagle, but that's really eating resources | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | rww: ok if I install all I cud | 12:12 |
| okhomenko | How can i remove all files and directories from tree exclude .svn directories and theirs inside content? | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | then what's the max it wud take | 12:12 |
| silv3r_m00n | I mean space | 12:12 |
| ae86-drifter | silv3r_m00n, thats ridiculous, why would u do such a thing, when you click apply, it will tell you how much space it will use... | 12:12 |
| rww | silv3r_m00n: I tried it to find out. aptitude gave up trying to resolve the dependency conflicts :( | 12:13 |
| silv3r_m00n | ae86-drifter: you know ... just for GK | 12:13 |
| ae86-drifter | silv3r_m00n, fair enoguh, i suggest maybe doing one category at a time | 12:14 |
| silv3r_m00n | does the dvd contain all packages listed in synaptic ? | 12:14 |
| === eli__ is now known as Elirips | ||
| Myrtti | no | 12:14 |
| ae86-drifter | synaptic will list whatever you have configured it to. | 12:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | I mean by default | 12:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | the default list of repositories | 12:15 |
| rethus | on suse i have /usr/src/packages/SOURCE for Sourcecode which should be compiled... where is this folder on ubuntu? | 12:16 |
| ae86-drifter | im pretty sure synaptic lists mor ethan the dvd with the default repos, but im not 100% sure... | 12:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | ae86-drifter: on a 1tb hard disk , what size of partitions should I create ? | 12:16 |
| silv3r_m00n | 100x10 , 250x4 500x2 | 12:17 |
| ae86-drifter | silv3r_m00n, the whole thing :P | 12:17 |
| Myrtti | silv3r_m00n: you're planning to install every package you can? | 12:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | I want ubuntu on 1st and docs and files on rest | 12:17 |
| viliny2 | silv3r_m00n: depends on the intended purpose... i chose to not do any partitions on mine. | 12:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | Myrtti: I thot the first partition shud be big enough to accommodate synaptic | 12:17 |
| viliny2 | you also don't have to make symmetrical partitions... you can have one at 100 and one at 900 as well | 12:18 |
| ae86-drifter | i would maybe format the 900GB to ext4 and 100GB FAT32 for PS3 compatability | 12:18 |
| ae86-drifter | but you know, everyone has different needs lol... | 12:18 |
| viliny2 | playstation 3 compatability? | 12:18 |
| silv3r_m00n | ya that's true | 12:18 |
| devunt | BOINC project | 12:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | I was also thinking whether shud I install windows | 12:19 |
| Audible_ | ae86 ? | 12:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | my only need of windows is age of empires | 12:19 |
| ae86-drifter | viliny2, yes | 12:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | nothing else | 12:19 |
| Audible_ | what ps3 compatibility ? | 12:19 |
| ae86-drifter | ps3 wont pick up ext4 | 12:19 |
| knoxville | Why can't I delete the .Trash-1000 on my Kingston USB Stick? When trying through terminal, it says "Read Only files", and when I'm trying to chmod 777, it says the same. with or without sudo! | 12:19 |
| viliny2 | ae86-drifter: sounds weird to me but im sure you have your reasons :) | 12:19 |
| knoxville | silv3r_m00n: Tried wine? | 12:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | yeah , aoe didn't work | 12:19 |
| Patero-ng | is ubuntu a secure and private OS | 12:20 |
| viliny2 | which age of empires did you try silv3r? | 12:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | Patero-ng: you can't get anything better for that | 12:20 |
| ae86-drifter | HD video playback on my TV, 100MBps streaming just doesnt cut it for 1080p :P | 12:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | aoe 2 | 12:20 |
| Audible_ | ae83 - do you use PS3MediaServer? | 12:20 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| Patero-ng | what do umean? | 12:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | viliny2: AOE 2 The conquerors | 12:20 |
| silv3r_m00n | I guess it's a patched version | 12:20 |
| rethus | where did YOU save the source-packages u wish to compile by yourself ? | 12:21 |
| rethus | in /usr/src ? | 12:21 |
| ae86-drifter | Audible_, yes i do use it, for low res videos | 12:21 |
| viliny2 | age of empires has gold status in winehq so my guess is it should run under wine | 12:21 |
| viliny2 | 2 at that, sorry. | 12:21 |
| knoxville | silv3r_m00n: Try this: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3795&iTestingId=3050 | 12:21 |
| silv3r_m00n | gold status means highly compatible ? | 12:21 |
| viliny2 | the expansion is only bronze though | 12:21 |
| rethus | where did YOU save the source-packages u wish to compile by yourself ? | 12:21 |
| rethus | in /usr/src ? | 12:21 |
| silv3r_m00n | and 1 more thing , can I play multiplayer on wine with other ubuntu users around | 12:21 |
| silv3r_m00n | ? | 12:21 |
| ae86-drifter | silv3r_m00n, you should be able to do that regardless of the other players OS | 12:22 |
| viliny2 | do you mean: Can i play aoe2 with others using wine? | 12:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | yah | 12:22 |
| viliny2 | same as windows, yes | 12:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | I mean I don't want to install windows on any of the computers in my office | 12:22 |
| iflema | silv3r_m00n: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors | 12:22 |
| viliny2 | atleast ideally, winehq tells me they didn't test multiplayer | 12:22 |
| silv3r_m00n | iflema: me ? | 12:23 |
| iflema | silv3r_m00n: setup a local package cache instead of installing all programs... whatever can be installed later offline | 12:23 |
| silv3r_m00n | yah that's useful too | 12:24 |
| silv3r_m00n | apart from aoe , I also want to play tomb raider | 12:24 |

| ae86-drifter | minimec, or anyone.. can you please help me configure samba, im having issues with a particular folder? | 13:30 |
| adix | zamba, with the windows installer you can install it without having to worry about anything. Just choose size of partion and it will install without any problems | 13:30 |
| MASARUwota | ae86-drifter: check if it doesnt have any characters in it that windows may not understand | 13:30 |
| adix | and from windows | 13:30 |
| zamba | adix: well, the same goes with the ubuntu native installation, doesn't it? | 13:31 |
| zamba | adix: the "without worry" part, i mean | 13:31 |
| ae86-drifter | MASURU, i have one folder called Movies, and One called TVSeries, the TVSeries is fine, i can access it through XP in a VM, but the Movies folder does not appear in "my network places" neither does browsing the the smb path work | 13:31 |
| adix | zamba, yeah probably.. i had some problems with 9.04 installer.. i don't know how 9.10 installer looks | 13:32 |
| zvacet | zamba: during install you will see your windows partitions and free space select free space and install ubuntu | 13:32 |
| minimec | ae86-drifter: Are you using a GUI for configuration? I used SWAT when I used SAMBA. As I only use unix machines now, I don't use samba anymore. Folder problems are often access rights problems. Check the access rights for samba, and also the rights of the folder. | 13:33 |
| EricZB | quit | 13:33 |
| zamba | zvacet: i have no free space, so i have to resize partitions | 13:33 |
| zvacet | adix: I didn't use desktop version to install 9.04 but I think installer is same | 13:34 |
| adix | i found the windows-installer really easy and fast to use | 13:34 |
| adix | took about 15minutes and i had ubuntu booting | 13:34 |
| ae86-drifter | minimec, i am using the "shared Folders" GUI to configure the folders, i am downloading SWAT now, but i shouldnt really have to, all the permissions for samba/FS seem to be the same for both folders | 13:35 |
| zvacet | zamba: you can do it with ubuntu live CD or with gparted live CD witch you can download from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 13:35 |
| zamba | zvacet: the installer does it | 13:35 |
| zamba | zvacet: apart from the fact that it's been stuck at 0% for the last five minutes now | 13:35 |
| zamba | zvacet: that part i don't like | 13:36 |
| minimec | ae86-drifter: Does the SAMBA-user, that wants to access the folder have permission to access all shared folders? | 13:36 |
| zvacet | zamba: rty gparted live cd you can resize partitions with it and it is good tool | 13:36 |

| Bear10 | Darael, thats helpful to know all though not needed now, thanks! | 13:57 |
| Darael | orly_owl: Does the model it's detected as have a different max resolution? If not, no. | 13:57 |
| cj | orly_owl: does it provide the expected resolution? | 13:57 |
| chilipepper | Pelo, with media player. It played well | 13:57 |
| UukGoblin | (and I'd like to upgrade to jaunty) | 13:57 |
| orly_owl | Darael: no, it doesnt, but it has the overscan problem. | 13:57 |
| orly_owl | cj: yes, but it has the overscan problem | 13:58 |
| Pelo | chilipepper, join me in #pelo , it's too early for me and I can'T deal with the channel scrolling buy | 13:58 |
| Pelo | by | 13:58 |
| bullgard | cj: Yes. But I do not have a i915 card. | 13:58 |
| cj | bullgard: what card do you have? | 13:58 |
| discopatrick | greetings. i would like to remote desktop into ubuntu the same way i do with windows. however, i have a problem. in windows, as long as the remote machine is powered on, i can connect to it and then enter my username and password to log into the system. with ubuntu, it seems the only way to gain access to the desktop is if you are already logged in on the remote machine. this seems to be the case when using VNC anyway. | 13:59 |
| Darael | UukGoblin: You'll need to upgrade to each version in turn. Hardy->Intrepid->Jaunty | 13:59 |
| UukGoblin | Darael, oh, true, forgot there is an 'i' between 'h' and 'j'. But still, it finds no releases newer than hardy. | 13:59 |
| whitedwarf | Bear10: try '~-<username>' | 13:59 |
| cj | ~/<username> ? | 13:59 |
| Darael | UukGoblin: Which release are you on at the moment? | 13:59 |
| bullgard | cj: VGA controller is ATI RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]. | 14:00 |
| cj | bullgard: what's the name of the kernel module? (lsmod | grep ati maybe?) | 14:00 |
| minimec | bullgard: I am wirking with that card right now. What is your problem? | 14:00 |
| UukGoblin | Darael, hardy | 14:00 |
| Darael | UukGoblin: Ah. Problem. | 14:01 |
| llutz | cj ~username , no / | 14:01 |
| cj | llutz: roger ;) | 14:01 |
| bullgard | minimec: '~$ grep -i kms /boot/config-2.6.31-17-generic; CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y; CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y'. How can I switch on KMS in Karmic? | 14:01 |
| Darael | cj: It's mostly useful if you have a user with a home outside of /home (though why you would is another matter...) | 14:01 |
| minimec | bullgard: Check this... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/413259/comments/30 It's a comment I made a few weeks ago... | 14:02 |
| iflema | UukGoblin: System / Administration /Software Sources on the updates tab... select normal releases... maybe | 14:02 |
| delfick | does anyone know how to get function keys to work on a laptop in 9.10 ?? (I have a Samsung x460) | 14:02 |
| UukGoblin | iflema, it's a headless server, I don't have X on there | 14:03 |
| bullgard | cj: lsmod | grep ati does not obtain useful output. | 14:03 |
| cj | maybe radeon or firegl? | 14:03 |
| UukGoblin | I'll just change hardy to intrepid in /etc/apt/sources.list and try apt-get upgrade | 14:03 |
| * cj hasn't had an ati card for a while | 14:03 | |
| Darael | UukGoblin: iflema Has a point, though, LTS releases only show LTS upgrades by default. | 14:03 |
| orly_owl | no tips on overscan? | 14:03 |
| cj | orly_owl: none from me. sorry... | 14:04 |
| orly_owl | ok | 14:04 |
| minimec | bullgard: I am also trying newer kernels with this device. As I heard, the 2.6.32 kernel from the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ is working quiet well... I am just using 2.6.33 on my machines with some restrictions. | 14:04 |
| UukGoblin | Darael, ah, any idea how to change it without X? | 14:04 |
| jerico__ | What does the red line mean in IRC? | 14:04 |
| llutz | jerico__: just a reminder, if you left a channel to find that point again. so you won't miss anything | 14:05 |
| llutz | channelwindow* | 14:05 |
| soreau | delfick: Have you checked gnome keyboard properties in sys>prefs>keyboard? | 14:05 |
| Darael | UukGoblin: Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set "prompt=normal" | 14:05 |
| UukGoblin | Darael, ah, thanks | 14:05 |
| davertron | does anyone know how i change the default EDITOR on ubuntu so that when I "sudo <do something that uses an editor>" I can use what i want? | 14:05 |
| jerico__ | llutz: thanks | 14:05 |
| delfick | soreau: I think I have. I've checked everything I can find in the keyboard preferences and there doesn't seem to be anything there...... | 14:06 |
| bullgard | minimec: I already heard about the glory of newer kernels. I do not think that it is worth the effort for me. I can wait until April for Ubuntu 10.04. | 14:06 |
| llutz | davertron: sudo update-alternatives --config editor | 14:06 |
| cj | davertron: the EDITOR environment variable and galternatives will probably help | 14:06 |
| mcphail | davertron: set the $EDITOR and $VISUAL variables, and also run update-alternatives | 14:06 |
| davertron | where should i set $EDITOR for root? | 14:07 |
| davertron | i have it set for myself | 14:07 |
| cj | you shouldn't run as root | 14:07 |
| davertron | but it seems like when I use sudo, it uses root's? | 14:07 |
| davertron | well i have my $EDITOR set to vi | 14:07 |
| davertron | but i still get nano when i use sudo | 14:07 |
| cj | davertron: right. ~root/.bashrc I think | 14:07 |
| cj | davertron: if that doesn't do it ~root/.bash_profile | 14:07 |
| cj | davertron: I can never remember which is for non-login | 14:08 |
| davertron | well, perhaps I'm setting my EDITOR wrong... | 14:08 |
| soreau | delfick: Look harder. | 14:08 |
| davertron | should it be the full path? | 14:08 |
| cj | davertron: set VISUAL as well | 14:08 |
| cj | davertron: yes, the value should be the full path to vi/vim | 14:08 |
| davertron | ok | 14:08 |
| minimec | bullgard: the performance of the radeon 9600 is not so good in karmic... With the newest karmic kernel I didn't have to force the card in pci mode, but performance wasn't better in agp mode... I will probably stick with the kernel mainline 2.6.32 kernel to avoid bad radeon performance of the karmic kernel. | 14:08 |
| mcphail | davertron: and do the "update-alternatives" thing as well | 14:08 |
| cj | davertron: or better yet, to /etc/alternatives/editor | 14:08 |
| soreau | delfick: Specifically, layouts>layout options | 14:09 |
| davertron | what does "update-alternatives" do? | 14:09 |
| tsolox | my ubuntu 9.04 is taking too long to boot...it used to boot faster last week..i still have enough space around 900MB..how do i diagnose this problem?? | 14:09 |
| davertron | just out of curiosity | 14:09 |
| cj | davertron: it updates /etc/alternatives/editor | 14:09 |
| mcphail | davertron: sets default editor, for a start! | 14:09 |
| cj | davertron: your system editor is probably /etc/alternatives/editor | 14:09 |
| Darael | davertron: It sets symlinks so that various defautls can be used by different programs under different users. | 14:09 |
| delfick | soreau: still can't find it... maybe I should change the layout type as well ?? | 14:09 |
| soreau | delfick: Unless you are talking about nonstandard keys like volume, etc that is a different issue | 14:09 |
| cj | galternatives is the graphical version | 14:10 |
| jerico__ | Is there any reason to use Ubuntu one over dropbox? | 14:10 |
| davertron | ok, thanks guys | 14:10 |
| delfick | soreau: yeah, I'm talking about function keys like brightness | 14:10 |
| soreau | delfick: I dont know about those.. you better google | 14:10 |
| cj | delfick: mine just works ;) maybe apt-cache search laptop ? | 14:10 |
| delfick | soreau: mmkay, thnx for the help anyways :D | 14:10 |
| cj | apt-cache search -n laptop | 14:11 |
| delfick | cj: what laptop you have? | 14:11 |

| asymptote | i'm using 8.04 | 14:21 |
| Darael | usr13: Interesting... What happens if he tries to run "bash"? | 14:22 |
| minimec | asymptote: So it's 'esc' | 14:22 |
| asymptote | minimec: thanks for the suggestion but I can't seem to get that to work either | 14:22 |
| Nightmare | minimec i didnt know that they changed the key | 14:23 |

| jerico__ | Is there a way to edit firestarter from the command line? | 14:23 |
| minimec | Nightmare: Had to learn that too ;) | 14:23 |
| asymptote | yeah there's some kind of lockup on boot | 14:23 |
| Darael | Nightmare: Only if you have grub hidden and the timeout set to zero. Otherwise it's still esc. | 14:23 |
| jerico__ | I'd like to configure my iptables through SSH without ever having to learn what an iptable is. | 14:23 |

| shadfc | Jeanty upgraded to Karmic on this system | 14:28 |
| asymptote | jerico_ you need to have a DNS entry created in your DNS server in order for that to work | 14:28 |
| asymptote | jerico_ or an entry in your /etc/hosts file | 14:28 |
| Dunkirk | Well, specifically, I'm talking about mythtv. I have the "standard" packages, and then I have the mythbuntu repo packages. | 14:28 |
| Dunkirk | What I'm finding is that, once the mythbuntu packages are installed, there's no way to force the packages back to the defaults. | 14:28 |
| Darael | usr13: Well, if he's changed something in one of bash's hidden files, try renaming ~/.bashrc - you can do it from Nautilus or a tty. Then when gnome-terminal tries to strat bash it ought to make a new config file. If it doesn't work, at least we've ruled out a possible failure point. | 14:28 |
| Dunkirk | Even if I remove the apt source and apt-get update. | 14:28 |
| mcphail | Dunkirk: "sudo sptitude install package=version" | 14:29 |
| minimec | Dunkirk: If you have the mythbuntu repository activated, I guess that should do. Doesn't it? | 14:29 |
| mcphail | *aptitude | 14:29 |
| iflema | asymptote: i always used to just use puppy linux to install grub and edit menu.lst all in one | 14:29 |
| Dunkirk | mcphail, OK. | 14:29 |
| resno | is there for a log for when a machine was shut off? | 14:30 |
| Dunkirk | mcphail, If I do this for just, say, "mythtvfrontend", will it pull everything else down with it? | 14:30 |
| Darael | Dunkirk: If it requires a specific version, then yes. | 14:30 |
| iflema | asymptote: you could use the 8.04 install cd aswell | 14:30 |
| mcphail | Dunkirk: i have never tried this on a package with specific dependencies, i'm afraid | 14:30 |

| Pelo | gotta go , later folks | 14:44 |
| mtaftm | yh i have lol sorry | 14:44 |
| mcphail | Wireless: what are you trying to achieve? Do you want to have both disks behave as one large partition? | 14:44 |

| mcphail | Wireless: there is an excellent article somewhere on the debian-administration.org site | 14:46 |
| linux | iflema : sudo gedit /etc/fsta? | 14:46 |
| mtaftm | minimec: its already selected still getting error message | 14:46 |
| enterneo | clrg, would the warranty be void already? It had XP SP3 preinstalled, I formatted and installed Ubuntu | 14:46 |
| Wireless | mcphail: i'm searching for, none has experience in this? | 14:46 |
| Darael | linux: use gksu for gedit, or sudo with nano. | 14:46 |
| iflema | linux: what file system type / read only or read/write? in terminal type gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 14:46 |
| Lungan | Why doesn't my internal mic work in ubuntu on my laptop (asus) | 14:47 |
| clrg | enterneo: I don't think so. The warranty is on the device, not on the operating system. | 14:47 |
| linux | Darael ,what do you mean | 14:47 |
| clrg | Lungan: Did you turn it on? | 14:47 |

| Darael | linux: If you want to use the graphical text editor, you should use gksu instead of sudo. If you're working in a terminal, you want to use the editor nano with sudo. | 14:47 |
| iflema | linux: yep | 14:47 |

| mph | ? our primary server boot fails (/dev/sda1) and /dev/sda5 has critical data on it. our secondary server is nearly identical (except the data) and has hot plug scsi drive bay. how can we plug scsi drive from primary to secondary server to access the primary's data (not root partition). | 14:54 |
| mtaftm | lol | 14:54 |

| mtaftm | minimec: any help with the webcam issue then ? | 14:54 |
| sivang | I'd like to fix eventually the terrible slowness problem 9.10 has | 14:54 |
| adudutz1 | hi | 14:54 |
| sixtila | mtaftm did you try installing cheese and other webcam softwares? some work | 14:55 |
| sivang | I hope the release after Karmic will solve this | 14:55 |
| minimec | mtaftm: wait. I am not wrong... Check that bug link I sent you... | 14:55 |
| adudutz1 | can I ask for help here? | 14:55 |
| llutz | mph: should work | 14:55 |
| clrg | Lungan: You've got two audio devices on your machine, an ATI and an Intel controller. | 14:55 |
| mtaftm | minimec: send me the bug link again i never recieved it sixtila ill try it again :D | 14:55 |
| t0rc | sivang, your chances are good simply because its an LTS. Therefore its going to be geared for long term stability. | 14:55 |
| strywgr | ahh no help today to. | 14:56 |
| sivang | t0rc: with the next version ? | 14:56 |
| mtaftm | sixtila: i have tryed other software XD | 14:56 |
| onetinsoldier | strywgr: hello | 14:56 |
| mph | since both hard drives on pri and secondary have same partitioning booting secondary with both drives causes kernel panic | 14:56 |
| mtaftm | but still no luck :/ | 14:56 |
| sivang | t0rc: you meanm Karmic+1 | 14:56 |
| clrg | Lungan: But I'm not sure which one is your microphone. Have you tried googling your laptop model concerning mic problems? Like "asus 123123 microphone does not work" | 14:56 |
| dailystruggle | adudutz1:yez by all means | 14:56 |
| mtaftm | minimec: please send me the link again | 14:56 |

| sivang | t0rc: yes ? | 14:56 |
| adudutz1 | oh | 14:56 |
| Lungan | clrg, okok, but the internal mic doesn't work somehow, what can the problem be | 14:56 |
| t0rc | sivang, yep. 10.04 | 14:56 |
| sivang | t0rc: it is possible to upgrade now? | 14:56 |
| sivang | t0rc: it is in beta, right? | 14:56 |
| adudutz1 | I'm currently building an IceWM system using Ubuntu Karmic | 14:57 |
| t0rc | sivang, should be. At the least you could probably download things from SVN or something. | 14:57 |
| adudutz1 | however | 14:57 |
| minimec | mtaftm: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/271258 post 33 and newer are interesting... | 14:57 |

| strywgr | onetinsoldier : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m290a9963 - can you help me with this? | 14:57 |
| llutz | mph: if you hotplug it into the running server, it won't attempt to boot. you should access your data on /dev/sdb or sdc then, depends on how much drives are present | 14:57 |
| onetinsoldier | strywgr: i used to know my way around linux really well, but i'm really rusty. anyway, at first glance, that error looks like it could cause quite a problem | 14:57 |
| adudutz1 | I'm quite confused with the configuration | 14:57 |
| strywgr | onetinsoldier, it is creating a problem, I can't remove or install anything because of it. | 14:58 |
| minimec | strywgr: Are you using the normal ubuntu repositories, or did you add some repos? | 14:58 |
| t0rc | sivang, aight so it's not beta but alpha1. :P | 14:58 |
| onetinsoldier | strywgr: i used to have people edit that file pretty often to fix problems | 14:58 |
| strywgr | normal repos. | 14:58 |
| onetinsoldier | strywgr: yeah, you'll need to edit that file | 14:58 |
| genii | strywgr: I would recommend: sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-back && sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status then do again a: sudo apt-get update | 14:58 |

| adudutz1 | but with the file manager, GTK, etc. | 14:59 |

| adudutz1 | here's the question: i'm encountering multiple problems with my Ubuntu-based system (command-line installation) equipped with IceWM.

| mtaftm | minimec: can you get drivers for my laptop acer 3690? ive looked but you know more than me on linux... that might be the problem | 15:08 |
| onetinsoldier | jacob_: doesn't look like a valid apt-get command to me... you put in a url after the apt-get command, is that what you did? it's usually --> apt-get <package_name> | 15:08 |
| enterneo | Darael, which is the option in Layout Option? | 15:09 |
| onetinsoldier | jacob_: what package are you wanting to install? | 15:09 |
| andruk | im getting a "dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2" when i try to pbuilder my package, help? | 15:09 |
| Darael | enterneo: In the keyboard preferences dialog, you want the "layouts" tab, then the button marked "Layout options". Then it should be self-explanatory. | 15:10 |
| jacob_ | onetinsoldier: the atlantis package for compiz...and that was the link posted on the compiz fusion community | 15:10 |

| atom_fox | Is there a difference with the rate of transfer when you transfer file manually in the terminal, than in using the conventional way of right clicking on the file and then copy, then paste it on the desired folder? Because I noticed that when I do it in the terminal it's faster. But I'm not really sure about this. | 15:11 |
| atom_fox | I'm just curious. ^_^ | 15:11 |
| jacob_ | onetinsoldier: k...i would post a link to it..but its long and don't want to spam board | 15:11 |
| minimec | mtaftm: There are probably no specific drivers for your hardware, as linux has another driver approach. New drivers and features are often introduced with new kernels. If you have a newer kernel, then you maybe also get a newer version of the driver. The gspca webcam driver is a standard one. You might have a look on the gspca homepage, but I don't think that this will help with you specific problem. | 15:12 |
| enterneo | Darael, got it, one more question, I currently use Ctrl + Alt to switch workspaces, how can I change it to just Ctrl? I mean where in CCSM? | 15:12 |
| Darael | atom_fox: If you're moving between folders on different volumes it'll take a while, if they're on the same partition it should be equally quick in Nautilus or the terminal. But "should be" isn't always the same as "is" | 15:12 |
| Darael | enterneo: The settings for whichever of the wall or cube you're using. | 15:13 |
| mtaftm | minimec: ok thanks ive read up that because my webcam has a diffrent device name that might be the problem | 15:14 |
| onetinsoldier | jacob_: sorry but i don't know for. i will have to keep looking here for now... | 15:14 |
| Darael | enterneo: That would be "desktop wall" or "rotate cube" | 15:14 |
| Darael | enterneo: In each case it's the "bindings" tab. | 15:14 |
| enterneo | Darael, yeah it is desktop wall | 15:14 |

| mtaftm | minimec: ok thanks for the help mate :D do you know if you can use eyetoy as a webcam ? | 15:19 |
| jacob_ | onetinsoldier: woops..typed that wrong | 15:19 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 15:19 |

| Darael | jacob_: Keep trying? | 15:21 |
| linux | I didn't mean when boot , I mount it by myself | 15:21 |
| marshall | how do i make a for loop for each result of a 'find' command? | 15:21 |
| jacob_ | Darth: lol sorry my keyboard is sticking | 15:21 |
| Darael | linux: You shouldn't need to specify the FS type when using the "mount" command. | 15:21 |
| linux | Darael : then how to edit fstab | 15:21 |
| Darael | linux: So if you don't, that's good! | 15:21 |
| llutz | marshall: find ... | xargs | 15:21 |
| Darael | linux: Do you want it mounted at boot after all, then? | 15:21 |
| onetinsoldier | jacob_: have a look at 'git'. git is a versioning control system. i think this atlantis plugin is for people want to download and compile bleeding edge source code | 15:22 |
| minimec | mtaftm: There are surely some forum entries on some ubuntu help pages. I don't know that kind of device. I am not a PS3 gamer... ;) | 15:22 |

| jacob_ | onetinsoldier: ahhh that would make sense...guess i will go back to looking for a different link | 15:22 |
| Darael | !fstab | linux | 15:23 |
| ubottu | linux: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 15:23 |

| Darael | linux: Well, the first thing is to see if it has a line in there already. | 15:24 |
| minimec | orly_owl: Should be possible with the radeonHD xorg driver. Newer opensource ati drivers of the 10.04 Ubuntu LTS will also have HDMI audio support. | 15:24 |

| jickjick | billykit: may i know your vga card? | 15:29 |

| Darael | jickjick: I'll try! | 15:30 |
| onetinsoldier | you call enlightenment lightweight? | 15:31 |

| adudutz | jickjick, can you give me the link? | 15:31 |
| jickjick | adudutz wait | 15:32 |
| jickjick | http://www.blankonlinux.or.id/download.html : adudutz | 15:32 |
| Darael | linux: Should automount at boot time with that. | 15:32 |
| onetinsoldier | dang.. i have to remember, i'm old school. i guess by todays standards enlightenment would be considered lightweight, lol | 15:32 |
| Darael | onetinsoldier: Compared to GNOME or KDE it is. | 15:32 |
| linux | Is that right ,jickjick,Darael | 15:32 |
| jickjick | thats indonesian but u can easily change to us adudutz | 15:32 |
| Darael | linux: As far as I can see, yes. | 15:33 |
| adudutz | ok I'm going to try it on my Virtualbox | 15:33 |
| adudutz | thx :) | 15:33 |
| Darael | onetinsoldier: Admittedly a pure WM rather than E, which is more of a desktop shell, would be lighter still | 15:33 |
| jickjick | adudutz pick the minimalis edition instead | 15:33 |
| adudutz | jickjick what's the difference between the normal and minimalis version? | 15:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Darael: yeah, i hear you | 15:33 |
| linux | Darael:but it didn't , i don't know why | 15:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Darael: lesstif/motif ;-) | 15:34 |

| onetinsoldier | check out* | 15:35 |
| orly_owl | minimec: sorry, using a dvi to hdmi adapter | 15:35 |
| linux | Darael, ok . I will try | 15:36 |
| Darael | onetinsoldier: I much prefer it to e16. Shame it's not packaged for Ubuntu yet, but their repo works. | 15:36 |

| jickjick | nastas: hai | 15:37 |
| linux | Darael, i don't know . try it next time . | 15:37 |
| Darael | linux: Unmount it and "sudo mount -a" for a quick test. | 15:38 |
| Darael | onetinsoldier: Not everything is there - for example, Entrance is missing, which is rather a shame, and apparently the xsplash loop after login in Karmic is much longer than it needs to be for an E17 session, but otherwise it's good. | 15:39 |
| linux | ok ,Darael. you mean if it work this time , it will mounted after boot ? | 15:39 |
| Darael | linux: Indeed. | 15:39 |
| jickjick | linux: try it | 15:39 |
| Darael | linux: mount -a should mount everything in fstab, which is also what happens at boot, you see. | 15:40 |

| Darael | silv3r_m00n: Since I was wrong, the 64-bit one will work. This is a good thing, of course. As for "twice as fast", that's not how it works. It'll be able to handle more simultaneous tasks without noticeable slowdown, though. | 16:09 |
| undecim | billythekid1: there's two: links and lynx | 16:09 |

| Darael | silv3r_m00n: Yes, turns out the i7 is an x86-64 processor after all. | 16:10 |
| onetinsoldier | knoxville: you're welcome. according to nastas, you will need to modprobe this driver if you reboot. you might be able to just add it to the '/etc/modules' file to keep from having to do that | 16:10 |
| Kamokow | I cant run a program in wine as sudo, or in a root shell. I get "wine: /home/zachary/.wine is not owned by you" how can I fix this? | 16:10 |

| onetinsoldier | billythekid1: i want to say this is not likely to fix the problem. just something i thought you could try though | 16:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Deathspike, look into the command "smbpasswd" | 16:41 |
| yeason | Deathspike: you might be interested in something such as webmin. Gives you a web-gui that will let you configure all of that | 16:41 |
| nastas | knoxville: what do you mean that you lost the connection? | 16:41 |
| Etonian | i use dropbox though cos then i can sync with windows too | 16:41 |

| grumbly | I need some help with Netbook Remix- I'm trying to get a full desktop (i.e. No netbook launcher) but I don't know how... | 17:20 |
| CAPcap | Drunken_Irony: Thanks a lot, i'll try that. also my laptop is a little on the older side, should I maybe be trying an older version of ubuntu if i can find one? | 17:20 |
| Drunken_Irony | eer. grumbly when i tried the remix and didn't like it i just reinstalled with the normal ubuntu install | 17:20 |
| kishore_ | onetinsoldier, actually there are three catogries...1. None 2. Normal 3. Extra | 17:20 |
| kishore_ | onetinsoldier, mine is 1. None | 17:21 |
| Drunken_Irony | CAPcap: no, i'm talking about making sure you are using the 32bit version of ubuntu if you're on a 32bit system. | 17:21 |
| Drunken_Irony | but good luck m8 :) | 17:21 |
| onetinsoldier | kishore_: ohh, i see. has it ever been on 'normal'? | 17:21 |
| CAPcap | I knew what u meant | 17:21 |
| petsounds | grumbly, remove ubuntu-netbook-remix package. | 17:21 |
| grumbly | Drunken_Irony: know if there's a way using apt to do it? i'm limited with my bandwidth (and at work) | 17:21 |
| kishore_ | onetinsoldier, nope | 17:21 |
| CAPcap | I was just wondering | 17:21 |
| CAPcap | thanks for u help | 17:21 |
| Drunken_Irony | grumbly: petsounds answered it. :) | 17:21 |
| grumbly | Drunken_Irony: I thought of that... i didn't want to break anything though... | 17:22 |
| grumbly | petsounds: my inner Brian Wilson thanks you! | 17:22 |
| petsounds | grumbly, you're welcome :D | 17:22 |
| onetinsoldier | kishore_: it may be because of a couple things. maybe your video card isn't powerful enough, or you don't have a driver installed that enables full 3d graphics capability of the video card | 17:23 |

| kishore_ | onetinsoldier, what are those drivers.. | 17:24 |
| usr13__ | jrib: Tnx | 17:24 |
| onetinsoldier | kishore_: what video card do you have and what xorg driver is installed for it? | 17:24 |
| kishore_ | onetinsoldier, i donno... am a noob | 17:24 |

| bob_the_hamster | an MSDOS partition table makes it easy to share a partitioned hard drive with Windows (ot at least it did a few years ago) | 17:29 |
| Ademos | jefelex, when I use gparted on a newly purchased hard disk, the default partiton table is ms dos. Then above the selector is says "default is msdos" ---- My question is, why is Linux using anything from msdos? ---- And, is there a better alternative partition table? | 17:29 |

| delconis | Can anyone tell me how to get my other desktops to work. i can see 4 on the desktop switcher applet but it won't let me switch to them? | 17:31 |
| Drunken_Irony | you'll need something like samba | 17:31 |
| bob_the_hamster | Partition table types don't make much difference at all. I wouldn't expect any performance improvement from switching to some other one. | 17:31 |

| kishore_ | #logouty | 17:54 |
| prariedog | im running karmic and searching the lucid partition from here.. | 17:54 |
| bob_the_hamster | Out_Cold: nah, the results are extremely consistent. Besides, this is when disconnected from the network, so how could the traffic make a difference? :) | 17:54 |
| kishore_ | #logout | 17:54 |
| kishore_ | #unjoin | 17:54 |
| Out_Cold | bob_the_hamster, i guess.. maybe it's the NICs then? | 17:54 |

I notice that it does hang when it can't find an address but is a connection and when there is no connection it is really prompt.. | 17:56 |
| bob_the_hamster | prariedog: how do you mean you can't access the log from graphics mode? | 17:57 |
| Out_Cold | James_-_, something like xx.xx.0.0/24 | 17:57 |
| prariedog | it says no applications for backup file files | 17:57 |

| Out_Cold | miketosh, there could be many reasons... its a brand new computer? | 17:59 |
| miketosh | usr13__: yes. 8.04 is on CD, 9.10 is on USB | 17:59 |

| miketosh | ActionParsnip: cause it booted other computers fine | 18:00 |
| prariedog | no, i dual installed ubuntu on my system, 1 karmic, 2 lucid. lucid is the one skrewed up, so im in karmic right now and running fine, when i look at those files, Xorg0logold is inaccessable, and Xorg0log is blank when i open it with gedit | 18:00 |
| miketosh | onetinsolder: I have 9.10 on a USB disk. That gets to the desktop but freezes as soon as it finishes loading | 18:01 |
| Out_Cold | prariedog, might need to gksu gedit to get proper permissions | 18:01 |

| Out_Cold | James_-_, save the file after :p | 18:02 |
| llutz | James_-_: no, just "sudo nano /etc/hosts.allow" to make your changes | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | miketosh: check and verify all is well. if you get any issues or the install medium is bad then thats why you will be getting issues | 18:03 |
| === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| miketosh | actionparsnip: media could be bad, it won't boot now :-( | 18:03 |

| miketosh | I was able to boot with a Dell Recovery disk... | 18:03 |
| Out_Cold | llutz, cidr as in 0/24 or as in x.x.0. | 18:04 |

| James_-_ | llutz you said before "and make sure to have "ALL: ALL: DENY" in /etc/hosts.deny" will that deny any and all request to anything unless I allow it in Allow, thereby requiring me to add allows for everything else i want to do like run a SAMBA server ? | 18:09 |

| mcprtk | that means more people are using Ubuntu | 18:11 |
| onetinsoldier | James_-_: i know of a really good gui firewall that sounds like it would do what you want with iptables, fwbuilder 3.07 | 18:11 |

| buidangchung_ | Hi all | 18:11 |
| prariedog | ya, ive convinced like 7 ppl in the last month to use ubuntu.. i havent had any problems until that friggin update | 18:11 |
| buidangchung_ | i have a question | 18:12 |
| bob_the_hamster | pkd: does the same thing happen if you are not using the proprietary ati drivers? | 18:12 |
| mcprtk | hi buidangchung | 18:12 |
| buidangchung_ | i try Ubuntu 9.10 | 18:12 |
| James_-_ | already up and running with this one... but i will research that and see if it worth a switch | 18:12 |
| mcprtk | well, ubuntu is not the same as windows | 18:12 |
| DogWater | Wow, Ubuntu 9.10 works fine on a chipset that just came out last monday | 18:12 |
| jacob3 | Using Ubuntu 9.10, I get a black screen of death after a short [Grub loading] message and seeing the Ubuntu black and white icon. The only useful log entry in syslog recovered using the boot disk is "init: failsafe-x main process (<number>) terminated with status 1. Any suggestions? | 18:12 |
| DogWater | can't believe it, nice work | 18:12 |
| Snicksie | hi, i got a acer 3300u, found a manual on the internet howto get it working, but for some reason it still doesn't really do. xsane-0.996 = version; OS = ubuntu 9.04 ; anybody who knows what could be wrong? (yes i asked this at #sane but nobody to answer) | 18:12 |
| onetinsoldier | James_-_: roger. it's really great gui... but, i had to jump through a few hoops to get it working | 18:12 |
| prariedog | ubuntu is way better than windows, the only drawback is every batch of updates is a risk | 18:12 |
| trism | prariedog: the backup from sbackup should just be a tar file, you should be able to extract it to restore the backup (this is just a guess, sbackup can't deal with the 4gb limit on fat filesystems so it was useless to me) | 18:13 |
| mcprtk | prariedog, i dont even update........ does linux even need updates? | 18:13 |
| gabless | Snicksie: What are the problems you're running into? | 18:13 |
| Myrtti | mcprtk: of course it does | 18:13 |
| bob_the_hamster | Just noticed something odd. On my desktop box, if I disconnect the network cable, my IP address instantly goes away (as verified by ifconfig from a terminal) however, if I disconnect the network cable on my server box, the IP address remains apparently indefinitely (both boxes are using dhcp addresses) | 18:13 |

| tomy | hey guys every time i upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 i get black screen, can i just simple copy my xorg now that i have on ubuntu 9.04 and add when i am on ubuntu 9.10 | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jacob3: try hiding the splash so you can see the boot messages | 18:13 |
| pkd | bob_the_hamster; havent tried - I wasn't able to properly configure resolution (1080p) and no underscan with the default drivers so they are not really an option. but ill give it a go now just to see what happens | 18:14 |
| trism | prariedog: and you are running an alpha version of ubuntu, these problems with updates are to be expected | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tomy: sure, if you have an xorg.conf file it will be used | 18:14 |
| fejes | Is anyone here able to answer technical Lucid questions? | 18:14 |

| fejes | thanks. | 18:14 |
| onetinsoldier | miketosh: i was going to suggest that earlier, but refrained. it might not help if it doesn't have a newer version of the linux kernel. i don't know what it has | 18:14 |
| === tommy_ is now known as Guest56531 | ||
| prariedog | im not really sure why updates are needed actually. i just do it so i dont miss out on anything cool. | 18:15 |
| Myrtti | prariedog: security updates | 18:15 |
| Out_Cold | prariedog, what if some one sees how to hack your system and tells all of us how to fix it? would you leave it to be hacked? | 18:15 |
| onetinsoldier | miketosh: but if i were you, i'd check, and keep checking every one in a while, for an updated bios for you motherboard, and run the memtest. check you bios settings, ect | 18:15 |
| James_-_ | llutz ok I did what we talked about above and now where I could ssh in before i get connection closed by remote host thoughts anyone? | 18:16 |
| Snicksie | gabless, sometimes it's found by scanimage -L but i got an I/O error with scanimage; sometimes it isn't even found by scanimage -L, however found by sane-find-scanner | 18:16 |
| blakkheim | ubuntu's repositories are almost always a few versions behind the latest | 18:16 |
| prariedog | and yes, i did expect some bugs alpha, but i haven't had any problems tho... however, about a week ago, a buddy of mine finally swticed to 9.10... the same thing happend to him.. he updated after awhile, and wound up with blank screen after splash then hang | 18:16 |
| bob_the_hamster | always do security updates right away... but full distro upgrades can wait until you really need them. | 18:16 |
| bob_the_hamster | isn't there a known problem with 9.10 and certain vido cards? (I know I am still using 9.04 because I didn't want to bother to do the research to figure out if I was affected or not (plus 9.04 has all the packages I need right now)) | 18:17 |
| mcprtk | bob_the_hamster i am running on kubuntu 9.10...... running updates ruins grub2 | 18:17 |
| tomy | actionparsnip this is my xorg now i think its not good http://www.pastebin.ca/1749890 | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tomy: looks fine, a bit bare but fine | 18:18 |
| nascentmind | Is there any way I can get full screen while in console? I have a 21 inch screen and the console does not cover up the entire screen. I have huge spaces in left and right side? | 18:18 |
| prariedog | i did make one choice during the update i wasnt sure of what i should do... it was updating grub. keep old config, or accept update... i figured i had a 50/50 chance of being right, and kept the config that had been working for me thus far | 18:18 |
| gabless | Snicksies: What is and isn't found? | 18:18 |
| prariedog | could that have anything to do with it? | 18:18 |
| tomy | actionparsnip why it does not show my graphic card INTEL | 18:18 |
| prariedog | i thought i purged and reinstalled grub2 tho | 18:19 |
| trism | prariedog: that probably isn't it, they made a small change /etc/default/grub in an earlier update, keep your old one is fine | 18:19 |
| Out_Cold | wtf is this?? "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 18:19 |
| Out_Cold | " am i blacklisted now? | 18:19 |
| mcprtk | tomy, HAL detects ur hardware, thts why | 18:19 |
| Snicksie | gabless, sometimes the scanner is found, sometimes not (lsusb always finds it; sane-find-scanner always finds it too), scanimage -L sometimes finds it, sometimes not (quite random imo) | 18:19 |
| trism | prariedog: (they added quotes to one of the variables, but no quotes is still correct and works) | 18:19 |
| nascentmind | anybody? | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tomy: you can add a line: Driver "intel" under the configured video device to force the driver | 18:20 |
| tomy | mcprtk: well i am havin problems with xorg all time, every time i upgrade i get black screen | 18:20 |
| trism | prariedog: although when you get those questions, it is usually best to look at the diff to see if anything important seems to change | 18:20 |
| gabless | Snicksie: Ah, the scanner, do you have the driver installed? Could it be a physical connection issue? | 18:20 |
| mcprtk | upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, tomy? | 18:20 |
| jacquesdupontd | hi guys i have a problem with my iphone not booting and i'm searching for irecovery for ubuntu any help ? | 18:21 |
| Snicksie | gabless, driver is installed as far as I know(did it manual), connection should be all right i assume, because lsusb finds it | 18:21 |
| tomy | from 8.04 to 9.04 then from 9.04 to 9.10 | 18:21 |
| tomy | all time xorg problem | 18:21 |
| prariedog | so it seems. tho to be honest, many of the changes don't mean anything i understand just yet | 18:21 |
| bob_the_hamster | nascentmind: are you talking about how the font size on the console is super-tiny in 9.10? | 18:21 |
| tomy | something wrong with my intel pentium IV | 18:21 |
| gabless | Snicksie: Huh, I'm not sure how to help you, sorry! | 18:21 |
| prariedog | anyways, im gonna log out and go mess around in safemod terminal again, write down the errors and come back | 18:21 |
| prariedog | thanks guys | 18:22 |
| mcprtk | in my opinion, try to do a fresh install..... | 18:22 |
| James_-_ | to the group --- I have a new install of Ubuntu Server (SAMBA & OpenSSH added at install) Goal limit ssh access to internal network --- Actions Taken change ssh port. ssh in confirm it works, add 'ALL: ALL: DENY' to /etc/hosts.deny . add 'sshd: xx.xx.x.y/yyy' to /etc/hosts.allow ... now when i ssh in from my network i get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host ... Thoughts on what i did wrong? | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tomy: add the driver line and it will force the driver, you can also force resolutions and refresh rates | 18:22 |
| gabless | jacquesdupontd: Is iRecovery an Apple product? Are you sure there's a linux version? | 18:22 |
| jacquesdupontd | sure | 18:22 |
| mcprtk | actionparsnip, isnt there a tool for intel drivers? | 18:22 |
| nascentmind | bob_the_hamster, no just that in smaller monitors i.e. 17inch etc the console covers the whole screen. on a 21 inch there is spaces at the edges and the text scrolls at the centre. | 18:22 |
| mcphail | James_-_: why are you editing /etc/hosts.deny etc? | 18:22 |
| mcprtk | for my ati, there is aticonfig | 18:23 |
| mcphail | James_-_: you need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 18:23 |
| tomy | actionparsnip i will copy my xorg now and send to my email then when i upgrade to 9.10 i will add this xorg file let me know if its okay | 18:23 |
| gabless | jacquesdupontd: You might be able to find it in the Software Center, or the website of the developer | 18:23 |
| James_-_ | mcphail as per what i was instructed to do earlier here | 18:23 |
| James_-_ | mcphail what would you have me do | 18:23 |
| nascentmind | bob_the_hamster, i am using vga=791 btw. | 18:23 |
| bob_the_hamster | nascentmind: A terminal in x-windows? or a text console outside of X-windows? If you mean the former, then can't you just stretch the terminal window? | 18:24 |
| nascentmind | bob_the_hamster, a text console outside of x-windows. i.e. the console which you get when the boot messages scroll by. | 18:25 |
| bob_the_hamster | nascentmind: oh, I think I get what you are saying now. | 18:25 |
| pkd | bob_the_hamster; using the original xorg.conf or the ati driver xorg.conf works like a off/on switch for the bug (exept i can't restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace in the latter case) | 18:25 |
| Oli`` | I just removed a load of old kernels from synaptic including (accidentally) the one I'm using right now although there is a new one I installed in an update (not rebooted yet). The update has stalled at "Running postrm hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub." If I control+c it tells me it'll induce the end of the world... What do I do? | 18:25 |
| tomy | actionparsnip http://www.pastebin.ca/1749902 here it is | 18:25 |
| bob_the_hamster | nascentmind: maybe it is your monitor? Some monitors do that when they don't like the resolution (sure bests my crappy monitor, which goes blank on resolutions it doesn't like) | 18:26 |
| James_-_ | mcphail what would you have me do? | 18:26 |

| bob_the_hamster | What happens if you use a VGA cable with a DVI adapter? (If you have one) I think that will get all the video bits you need to the screen, but it might leave behind the power managment data (warning, the preceding was probably a crazy idea, I don't know a lot about DVI) | 18:41 |
| James_-_ | mcphail should that IP be 192.168.0.* or 192.168.0.0/50 | 18:41 |
| Out_Cold | bob_the_hamster, if it wasn't for crazy ideas we'd all be using winblows ;) | 18:42 |

| IpSe_DiXiT | hi, in my /tmp folder there are many folders and files (e.g. orbit-username full of linc-128736 files) what are those files and folders for? where can i find a complete description about all of them? can i delete them? thanks | 18:46 |
| prariedog | anyone know what security settings have to do with display? | 18:46 |
| mcphail | James_-_: i assume you restarted the ssh daemon? | 18:47 |
| blakkheim | IpSe_DiXiT: if you reboot they are all deleted | 18:47 |
| bob_the_hamster | pkd: so what happens if you connect the card to the TV using only the VGA cable? Does it still have the same problem? Can you still get the full desired HD resolution? | 18:47 |
| Out_Cold | IpSe_DiXiT, those files are used by apps that need a temp storage place... they should delete on reboot | 18:47 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | blakkheim: no they're not | 18:47 |
| blakkheim | IpSe_DiXiT: /tmp is wiped during the bootup process | 18:47 |

| blakkheim | IpSe_DiXiT: but then a few new ones are also created as you do things like start X etc | 18:48 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Out_Cold: i guessed they were what u said but id like to find out about them specificly | 18:48 |
| didiermah | bonsoir | 18:48 |

| Out_Cold | IpSe_DiXiT, i use /tmp to compile apps as well as what ever other apps need them. It clears out regularly | 18:49 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Out_Cold: yeah but this is what im asking, there are things like keyring, keysocket, orbit, seahorse, tracker, virtual all with "-myusername" after... what are they there for? | 18:49 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Out_Cold: mine doesn't i have files from 3 days ago | 18:49 |

| IpSe_DiXiT | blakkheim: i did read but i dont think the system creates today files that report the date of 3 days ago :D | 18:50 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | anyway... is there or there isnt, a support page or whatever, on which is described specificly each one of em? | 18:51 |
| Out_Cold | IpSe_DiXiT, almost all /tmp files are related directly to the apps that make them... hence start looking at the apps then see what they write to /tmp | 18:52 |
| blakkheim | IpSe_DiXiT: if you reboot, everything in /tmp is removed. it is a normal part of the sysv init process. new things are created by various applications. to ask for a reason on each one of them is asking about whatever apps you used at the time. | 18:52 |
| futei | can i make one raid1 put it in LVM and then make another raid1 and just extend my lvm ? | 18:52 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Out_Cold: right, how do i do that? | 18:52 |
| bob_the_hamster | I was about to say my /tmp has files almost a month old in it... and then I remembered that I don't shut down, I hibernate, so that makes sense :) | 18:52 |
| Out_Cold | IpSe_DiXiT, google <app> /tmp? | 18:52 |
| bob_the_hamster | IpSe_DiXiT: I have never seen a central reference for temp files, and probably nobody would maintain such a resource since there are so many possible names... but most of the temp file names have the name of the program that created them | 18:53 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | blakkheim: I already told you if I reboot (which I did many times in the last 3 days) not all of those tmp files get deleted, in fact I have tmp files (after a reboot) reporting their "creation date" to 3 days ago, so i guess they haven't been deleted like ur saying | 18:54 |

| Snicksie | anybody knows howto fix this problem: 'modprobe scanner' gives error -> 'fatal error: module not found'; should i compile my kernel or so? (ubuntu 9.04) | 18:58 |
| Out_Cold | Snicksie, i think you need to insmod scanner first | 18:59 |
| Snicksie | all right, i'll try :) | 18:59 |
| arvind_khadri | Snicksie, is there an module by the name scanner? | 18:59 |
| Out_Cold | arvind_khadri, apparently not if that's his output | 18:59 |
| Blackthorn | My sound and network manager both died at the same time and I have a feeling it's a permissions issue but I don't know where to start to fix that, if I'm even right about it. | 18:59 |
| Snicksie | arvind_khadri, i suppose not yet; Out_Cold output = insmod: can't read 'scanner': No such file or directory | 18:59 |
| James_-_ | mcphail ok my bad it does deny permission let me test a few things | 19:00 |
| Out_Cold | Snicksie, then you don't have that module? | 19:00 |
| Blackthorn | in console mplayer (soundfile) fails but sudo mplayer (soundfile_ plays | 19:00 |
| Out_Cold | or it doesn't exist | 19:00 |
| arvind_khadri | Snicksie, check out whats the module for it, devices when attached while do insmod themselves, you dont need to do them | 19:00 |
| blakkheim | Blackthorn: is your user in the audio group? | 19:00 |
| Snicksie | Out_Cold, that's true, but i assume i need it | 19:00 |
| Snicksie | arvind_khadri, how do you mean? | 19:00 |
| blakkheim | Blackthorn: and does your user have read permissions to the sound file? | 19:00 |
| Blackthorn | blakkheim, what's the command to check that? | 19:01 |
| blakkheim | Blackthorn: groups | 19:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Snicksie, when you plugin in a device, the driver does the insmod for you... you dont have to manually do it, unless you have compiled the drivers, or some other issue | 19:01 |
| Blackthorn | groups steelj returns "steelj adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare" | 19:01 |
| Blackthorn | so looks like no, but It was working last night =o | 19:02 |
| Snicksie | arvind_khadri, there already is some kinda issue, because my scanner gives an I/O error | 19:02 |
| blakkheim | Blackthorn: now do ls -l soundfile to see if you have read permissions | 19:02 |
| Spasysheep | solved it myself - changed keyboard layout to 'United Kingdom Extended - WinKeys' | 19:02 |
| arvind_khadri | Snicksie, which scanner? did you check for bugs? | 19:02 |
| pkd | bob_the_hamster: vga cable removes the problem, same resolution possible, but the image quality is sub-par. seen as this seem to be a driver issue -are there other drivers i could try? other possible solutions? | 19:02 |
| Snicksie | arvind_khadri, i checked; it's an acer/benq 3300u what should work (has worked before) | 19:03 |
| Blackthorn | -rwxrwxrwx 1 steelj steelj 5684749 2008-06-05 15:07 Puscifer.mp3 | 19:03 |
| blakkheim | Blackthorn: well you have read permissions so i am going to say that it's probably the fact that your user isn't in the audio group | 19:03 |

| Out_Cold | nuker, use gparted from a live disk | 19:07 |
| nuker | it is 8 gb but i to resize it 15gb | 19:07 |
| nuker | ok | 19:07 |
| Out_Cold | nuker, you have to resize with the disk unmounted so you need another boot medium like a usb or live cd | 19:07 |
| mcphail | James_-_: it shouldn't time out on default configuration... | 19:07 |
| nuker | ok | 19:08 |
| mcphail | James_-_: you could try changing TCPKeepAlive to No | 19:08 |

| arvind_khadri | ranjan, yeah | 19:09 |
| mcphail | James_-_: it defaults to Yes, so you should add a line to change it | 19:09 |

| blakkheim | Guest13950: it installed, now run sysv-rc-conf as root | 19:09 |
| James_-_ | o there it is, sorry it | 19:09 |
| Out_Cold | ranjan, anything in fstab is mounted on boot up | 19:10 |

| Pelo | argued, you can remove the kernel's you donT' want from synaptic but you an also set the kernel you want to boot in the /etc/default/grub file, assuming you are using grub2 , in grub one you need to select it in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:30 |

| Out_Cold | what is a rsa randomart image?? | 19:40 |
| maco | Out_Cold: instead of showing a long string of numbers and expecting you to memorize it to tell that its the right server, it shows you an ascii art picture which you then recognize | 19:40 |
| DuCkNeT | _ariel_ personnaly thats what i would do bu tthats just me | 19:40 |
| Out_Cold | maco, am i expected to be able to recreate this? | 19:41 |
| _Ariel_ | DuCkNeT: and why would you do that against installing regular Ubuntu? | 19:41 |
| maco | Out_Cold: no, just to recognize it when it's shown to you | 19:41 |
| maco | Out_Cold: so if you ssh and get man in the middled and hit a different server, you go "hey! thats not the right picture!" | 19:41 |

| protojay | true Out_Cold , but alot of these problems are hardware issues which windows has a huge lead in | 19:52 |
| Flare183 | np :) | 19:52 |
| maco | Flare183: alltray just lets programs sit in the tray. its nothing to do with sending files | 19:52 |
| Flare183 | o.O | 19:52 |
| Pelo | tomys, what's the shipset again , I'll see if I can find someting | 19:52 |
| benjoldersma | ahh | 19:52 |
| Flare183 | wait a sec | 19:52 |
| tomys | pelo: intel | 19:52 |
| Carlis | pelo why don´t u go to this link. It´s explained | 19:52 |
| Flare183 | maco: Ubuntu One? | 19:52 |
| tomys | pelo it worked fine with 9.04 | 19:52 |
| Gorlist | are their any blender 2.5 users here suffering from poor performance in 9.10? and segmentation fault errors? | 19:52 |
| Carlis | http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,97695.0.html | 19:53 |
| benjoldersma | does ubuntu one do that? or is it more of a cloud sharing thing? | 19:53 |
| willemb | guys, is there a convenient service for remote desktopping if I can't set port forwarding om my adsl routers? | 19:53 |
| maco | Flare183: thats not what im thinking of | 19:53 |
| Pelo | tomys, I need mor specifics , flip to another consol and type lspci | 19:53 |
| Flare183 | benjoldersma: Try Ubuntu One | 19:53 |
| Pelo | tomys, you can always go back to jaunty | 19:53 |
| tomys | i can not flip i get black screen i can't i will need to quit irsi and do that | 19:53 |
| benjoldersma | i thought i saw soemthing a while back - a very simple tool, may have used avahi - just for local file sharing | 19:53 |
| benjoldersma | (LAN) | 19:53 |
| Flare183 | benjoldersma: Samba? | 19:53 |
| benjoldersma | Flare183, I'll take a look at that :) | 19:53 |
| Pelo | Carlis, cause while I'M doing that I can't keep an eye on the other ppl I'M helping , just give us a brief desc of yor problelm please | 19:53 |
| Out_Cold | protojay, agreed... but we can't pay our developers to slave like little children making our adidas shoes ;) | 19:53 |
| maco | benjoldersma: giver is the one im thinking of | 19:54 |
| benjoldersma | I just want something i can drag a file onto a user and have them receive it | 19:54 |
| benjoldersma | maco, that's it! | 19:54 |

| jalmeida | i have a htc-t-mobile g1 phone with android, is possible using this device with modem 3g on ubuntu ? | 19:54 |
| jalmeida | desktop | 19:54 |
| Carlis | ok | 19:54 |
| protojay | Out_Cold, even if we could, that would be a non-issue, alot of hardware vendors are very non-compliant and uninterested in supporting anything but windows and perhaps macosx | 19:54 |
| Flare183 | Carlis: Post your problem on the Ubuntu Forums. | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: http://hydtechblog.com/2009/02/12/connect-your-laptop-to-the-internet-using-the-g1-as-a-modem/ | 19:55 |
| Carlis | my problem is in Ubuntu forum | 19:55 |
| Carlis | I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when I shut down the PC and turn it on, the Ubuntu 9.10 can't access to the system. | 19:55 |
| Out_Cold | protojay, also agreed... but if we had the finance and community to back it up.... it's like trying to size up hawaii to the US. | 19:56 |
| Pelo | Carlis, how far into the boot process do you get ? | 19:56 |
| Carlis | It´s going to be a black screen | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Carlis: try reinstalling grub from the livecd environment | 19:56 |
| tomyy | pelo which one you need with lpsci: PCI or ISA or IDE | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Carlis: can you boot to recovery mode console? | 19:56 |
| Carlis | nothing | 19:56 |
| Pelo | tomyy, the one that list your video card | 19:56 |
| tomyy | pci:intel corporation 82801DB/DBM | 19:57 |
| Carlis | I have a trick to go to the grub | 19:57 |

| erUSUL | James_-_: probably it uses plain http as client. so no firewall could be at fault | 19:58 |

| _Ariel_ | Where do I start if I want to configure Ubuntu to share files on a local network? | 19:58 |
| tomyy | pelo this is intel pentium IV stationary PC | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | _Ariel_ | 19:59 |
| ubottu | _Ariel_: 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. | 19:59 |
| Out_Cold | _Ariel_, either nfs or samba | 19:59 |
| jalmeida | ActionParsnip, but this tutorial learn to connect in windows using PdaNet ? | 19:59 |
| Carlis | That´s right OerHeks. I am going to read that post thanks | 19:59 |
| _Ariel_ | big thanks! | 19:59 |
| tomyy | pelo this is intel pentium IV stationary PC | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: if you read between the lines you can see you need a proxy app running on the phone, then you set the browser to use a socks proxy, it is OS independant | 20:00 |
| eriklewis | Is there a KDE command to format my hard drive? | 20:00 |
| Pelo | tomyy, remind me, you get no screen or a low rez ? | 20:00 |
| tomyy | pelo black screen i can not do anything | 20:00 |
| Out_Cold | eriklewis, are you at a terminal prompt? | 20:00 |
| eriklewis | yes | 20:00 |
| jalmeida | ActionParsnip, and to i work with aptget comand ? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: its OS independant, try not to take things at face value. just because it isnt exactly your setup doesnt mean it still cant apply | 20:00 |
| _Ariel_ | is there a way to install Samba through the graphic interface? not good with command line | 20:01 |
| Out_Cold | use either parted or fdisk /dev/sd** | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: you'd need to tell apt to use the proxy | 20:01 |
| Pelo | tomyy, did I get you to do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg yesterday ? | 20:01 |
| Out_Cold | _Ariel_, use the synaptic | 20:01 |
| jalmeida | ActionParsnip, isn't works if not is native connection on ubuntu | 20:01 |
| bishop | bbak | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _Ariel_: sudo apt-get install samba is that so hard? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: sure but you can translate them so it works in linux can't you | 20:01 |
| _Ariel_ | ActionParsnip: not hard when you know what you're doing :) | 20:02 |
| tomyy | pelo when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had similiar problem i was getting not black screen but blankt screen so i find on google to do this sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-remove and my screen worked, i think it must be something similiar with ubuntu 9.10 | 20:02 |
| _Ariel_ | will do that thanks! | 20:02 |
| eriklewis | out_cold, can i run a command right from the terminal to wipe it? | 20:02 |
| Out_Cold | _Ariel_, even the best of us still don't fully know what's going on with out testing the waters and playing with commands | 20:02 |
| Pelo | tomyy, did you try removing compiz on this one ? | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | _Ariel_: its very worthwhile using cli more, it gives so much more power than slow guis# | 20:02 |
| tomyy | pelo no | 20:02 |
| Pelo | tomyy, can I recommend you try ? | 20:03 |
| tomyy | sure brb | 20:03 |
| Out_Cold | eriklewis, parted is a program that has sub options.. the fdisk /dev/sd** is similar but has issues with large drives | 20:03 |
| _Ariel_ | ActionParsnip: absolutely agreed | 20:03 |

| Out_Cold | _Ariel_, won't ever get better if you don't. Also some admin books on ubuntu or linux.. or basic shell books make a lot of handy tips | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jalmeida: sure, just install the app and run it, you can then tell your system to use the proxt | 20:06 |

| psyphercode | hi all, i have been annoyed with a problem in ubuntu since almost fore ever., it happens on every install of ubuntu of various different hardware. recently i was told that it's the sata drivers and i must upgrade to karmic, well i have upgraded to karmic and the problem is still there. problem is that as soon as there is ANY kind of high disk activity, and not even THAT much, just having 2 copying threads will do it, and the entire pc comes to a grin | 20:18 |
| psyphercode | ding halt, firefox greys out and locks up ALL the time and i can barely do anything. since i am constantly doing large file copies, using vmware, encoding videos, unraring files I have to constatnly sit and wait for my pc to become responsive. why am i told I am the only person who has this issue, I don't believe that for a second. i would really like to squash this bug one and for all, it's driving me nuts, and as one for the biggest linux/ubuntu fa | 20:18 |

| jelly-bean2 | we are working on deploying a 40+ machine thin-client network using ubuntu karmic ltsp as the server. | 20:24 |
| Flea_ | actionparsnip, I did it and it didnt help the installation of wine. anymore suggestions? | 20:24 |
| ibkanat | llutz yes reports no link when cable missing and light is on | 20:24 |
| jelly-bean2 | what we have noticed is that some monitors don't work perfectly with the display. like xorg or xwindows. basically the fonts look like they are not anti-aliased--kind of a fuzzy caught-inbetween-pixels look. not smooth. like its not using its natural resolution but the resolution is set to 1440x900. | 20:24 |
| ibkanat | llutz 192.168.0.1 | 20:24 |
| jelly-bean2 | also sometimes the top or bottom or one of the sides of the screen will be cut off. | 20:24 |
| jelly-bean2 | they are down there and yo ucan click on them with your mouse to raise context menus for the panels in gnome etc but you can't see them on the monitor. | 20:25 |
| jelly-bean2 | the monitor has an auto adjust feature but no height or width settings. this is how almost all of the LCDs we have bought are. and we have 3-4 dif brands so i guess that is the new thing | 20:25 |
| protojay | psyphercode, that sounds highly unlikely | 20:25 |
| jelly-bean2 | and if we switch monitors it works fine so its not the computer being used for thin client | 20:25 |
| llutz | ibkanat: try manual, open terminal: "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.200" | 20:25 |
| Guest13950 | what is a symlink? | 20:25 |
| onetinsoldier | psyphercode: i haven't had to deal with said issue, but perhaps the 'nice' command could help you | 20:25 |
| jelly-bean2 | the monitors work fine on non-ltsp machines (e.g local install of ubuntu or windows vista). so i think it comes down to some default xorg setting in ubuntu ltsp. any ideas? | 20:25 |
| llutz | ibkanat: "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1" | 20:25 |
| jelly-bean2 | im on one of those thin clients using the problematic LCD monitor now. cant see my bottom panel and fonts are smeared | 20:25 |
| Slart | jelly-bean2: sometimes X can't detect the supported frequencies of the connected monitor.. I don't really know what the problem is, if it's the hardware that's faulty or the detection routines.. | 20:25 |
| psyphercode | protojay: well i have been using ubuntu since breezy and this issue has been VERY prevelant since feisty | 20:25 |

| cor_r | hasanubuntu, as I said: It probably wont work without update and/or upgrade...try installing dbus though | 20:43 |
| hasanubuntu | cor_r how i do that | 20:43 |
| mjas1016 | slart: it COULD be a windows specific problem I guess. I am just trying to be 100% sure its not ubuntu before I start pursuing windows. It just seemed like it was ubuntu because the grub loaded so quickly after the boot from CD attempt. | 20:43 |
| hasanubuntu | install dbus | 20:43 |
| Slart | mjas1016: but sure.. you can zero out the mbr on the hard drive using the live cd.. the "dd" command will do that for you | 20:43 |
| hasanubuntu | sudo apt-get install libdbus | 20:43 |

| mjas1016 | slart: also, do I have to boot from live cd? I am currently running with ubuntu on my drive | 20:47 |
| Slart | mjas1016: dd just moves bytes around.. if means input file.. in this case we use zeroes from a special device that just gives us an endless amount of zeroes.. of is output file. Setting the output to a device (/dev/sda1 in this case) means we just write directly to the device.. ignoring partitions and such.. bs is block size in bytes, we want to write 512 bytes.. count is how many of those <blocksize> blocks we should write.. one is what we want | 20:47 |

| ubottu | kombucha: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:54 |
| blakkheim | kombucha: this is not a lucid support channel | 20:54 |
| ShishKabab | genii: That doesn't seem to work since it can only handle video files as far as I can see (correct me if I'm wrong) | 20:54 |
| kombucha | oops sorry | 20:54 |
| blakkheim | Hydrosis: cool story bro | 20:54 |
| Hydrosis | blakkheim, word | 20:54 |
| Hydrosis | tl:dr | 20:54 |
| protojay | Hydrosis, because ubuntu sucks and windows rules muahaa | 20:54 |
| Slart | Hydrosis: my guess is they push the limit a bit with this release.. so the next one (which is an LTS) can be better | 20:54 |
| koshari | Hydrosis historically the release before a LTS has many bugs to give a good abount of time to solve before the LTS comes out | 20:54 |
| DaZ | y, ubuntu sucks. | 20:55 |
| Joker_-_ | How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)? (It's empty so i don't mind what happens to the datas on it). | 20:55 |
| onetinsoldier | lucid will be an LTS? | 20:55 |
| coz_ | Hydrosis, are you using the current version karmic? if so you might want to use the previous version if that worked better and wait for ubuntu lucid to be released | 20:55 |
| Slart | onetinsoldier: I think so | 20:55 |
| Hydrosis | Ive never been so dissapointed with a computrer in my life, and I had Win ME for years. | 20:55 |
| onetinsoldier | roger | 20:55 |
| Slart | !lts | 20:55 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 20:55 |
| koshari | onetinsoldier *tick* | 20:55 |
| champi_ | hola | 20:55 |
| cor_r | Hydrosis, ubuntu IS the windows undre all linuxes so what did you expect? but ur listed problems are not really problems with ubuntu, these are problems of the user sitting in front of the pc | 20:55 |
| geo_ | how do I set it to have sound always muted on startup? There was a place in older versions of ubuntu that now seems to be missing in karmic | 20:55 |
| gilgamesh_ | cor_r: true true :D | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Hydrosis: look at the funding of windows comapred to linux | 20:56 |
| x_link | koshari: I really don't find gnome-control-center in my menus | 20:56 |
| Slart | cor_r: telling someone they are broken because they have problems with ubuntu isn't really productive.. you can do better than that | 20:56 |
| Hydrosis | cor_r, Im not an idiot. I know when it's the computer as opposed to the user. I never had these problems with any other operating system, Ubuntu included. Please, if you dont know what you're talking about keep your smartass remarks to yourself. | 20:56 |
| koshari | x_link its not in the menus, run it from cli or create a launcher | 20:56 |

| ActionParsnip | blakkheim: i have no issues with the mulicore thing with vlc as i only have single core cpus ;) | 20:57 |
| guntbert | Hydrosis: this is no place for venting your anger | 20:57 |
| onetinsoldier | x_link: hello | 20:57 |
| CShadowRun | Hydrosis: sound is bad because ubuntu switched to pulseaudio. It's beta, it's bad. But it once it's all fixed up, it'll be a better sound system for everyone | 20:57 |
| protojay | Hydrosis, calm don | 20:57 |
| jijutm | what if i skip the fsck check on a server box, will it affect the server performance | 20:58 |
| Hydrosis | guntbert, I came asking for help and idiots tell me its MY fault that Ubuntu isnt working properly. Pay attention, man. | 20:58 |
| Hydrosis | protojay, telling people to calm down does nothing to calm them. | 20:58 |
| MaJ | CShadowRun, i like how everyone openly admits that pulseaudio is a crap chute.......and yet it is still installed by default | 20:58 |
| guntbert | !attitude | Hydrosis | 20:58 |
| ubottu | Hydrosis: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:58 |
| Slart | jijutm: not if the disc is healthy =) | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Hydrosis: well it kinda is, just like if your sound doesnt work in windows you have to give it drivers | 20:58 |
| CShadowRun | Maj it's installed by default because it's the only way it'll get better. We want features like individual application volume control, networked sound servers, etc. We have to suffer with it being buggy for a while to make people adopt it | 20:58 |
| cor_r | Hydrosis, im using lin since 10 years starting from debian to gentoo, if you want to start a flame ware, then open up a channel and talk to urself | 20:59 |
| onetinsoldier | x_link: hello.. you here? | 20:59 |
| agliodbs | when I enter a WPA key into the ubuntu wireless manager, does it need to be in hex format? | 20:59 |
| CShadowRun | Maj i don't like it either, but that's just how it is | 20:59 |
| Wei | question, can anyone recommend a good fax software? | 20:59 |
| Hydrosis | ActionParsnip, I am not a complete idiot. I know how to install drivers etc. I know this. That's not the problem. The problem is that everything IS installed properly yet still has flaws out the ass. | 20:59 |
| jijutm | hmm @Slart, could i just push it up for today.. and do the check on next sunday ? | 20:59 |
| protojay | cor_r, ur not helping things | 20:59 |
| Slart | jijutm: sure.. | 20:59 |
| agliodbs | because I'm not connecting with the wireless manager using a "text" password | 20:59 |
| jijutm | ok thanks.. | 20:59 |
| Hydrosis | cor_r, you're just babbling off topic. Leave me alone. | 20:59 |
| Pici | cor_r: Please stop. | 20:59 |
| MaJ | CShadowRun, yeah....its just little issues like audio that keep me using windows | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Hydrosis: log bugs and it will be attended, there may be existing bugs whch you may find help on | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | MaJ: works flawlessly here, but i'm not one of those fools who buy cretive sound cards | 21:00 |
| Hydrosis | ActionParsnip, Ive been digging through launchpad all week. not much help to be found Im afraid. | 21:00 |
| cor_r | I see guys, and you do? | 21:00 |
| CShadowRun | Maj well it's getting better every release, if ubuntu doesn't work for you now, try the next release. Things are often greatly improved each release :D | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Hydrosis: log bugs then, its how stuff gets resolved | 21:00 |
| koshari | Hydrosis i dont know specifically a software setting to mute sound on startup but i have in the past acheived the same result blacklisting the sound module, and running modprobe when i want it back | 21:00 |
| geo_ | Haraken, hey | 21:00 |
| MaJ | i'll agree with that.....it is getting better | 21:00 |
| Pici | May I remind everyone that this is a support channel not a rant/complaint channel. | 21:00 |
| Haraken | hey | 21:00 |
| Slart | Hydrosis: just take a deep breath and walk away.. the ops will deal with people being moronic | 21:00 |
| MaJ | i havent even tested it with my new creativ card yet.....that is going to be a real treat :P | 21:00 |
| Dinglefairy | Hi - I created a username called git | 21:01 |
| Dinglefairy | How do I remove this from the login screen (USplash)? | 21:01 |
| x_link | onetinsoldier: Yes? | 21:01 |
| geo_ | is there a way to mute sound on startup in karmic? | 21:01 |
| Hydrosis | Hi Slart pay attention and stfu please. Dont center me out for fun, kiddo. | 21:01 |
| TheMozart | Hydrosis: lol | 21:01 |
| geo_ | The usual methods appear to be missing | 21:01 |
| x_link | koshari: How do I create a launcher for gnome-control-center in GNOME? | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | MaJ: i use onboard realtek stuff and it works out of the box, even in livec | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | *livecd | 21:01 |
| x_link | koshari: Sorry, I'm really new with GNOME. | 21:01 |
| maco | ActionParsnip: stuff based on the HDA spec is often problematic since the spec's so broad | 21:01 |
| trism | Dinglefairy: users with uid's less than 1000 will not be listed in the gdm user list, ones with uids higher than 1000 will | 21:02 |
| protojay | lol how do you like it now Hydrosis ? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: nvidia onboard pos soundcard | 21:02 |
| MaJ | i usually use onboard......but my onboard died :P | 21:02 |
| trism | Dinglefairy: so if you want the git user not to show, make it's uid less than 1000 | 21:02 |
| MaJ | pulse works for me......just never in games | 21:02 |
| Dinglefairy | trism: so what uid should git be? | 21:02 |
| UserSite | hey folks. just installed ubuntu 910. i need some assistance. I have a wireless linksys gpci card installed on the computer. is there a way i can get it to work? | 21:03 |
| MaJ | i should probably just stop complaining......not helping anything :P | 21:03 |
| charlesg3 | I'm having trouble with my sound. I'm using ubuntu karmic on a macbookpro (nvidia sound) and pulse audio. I see the internal audio listed in pavu control, and everything thinks it's playing, however no sound comes out of the headphone jack | 21:03 |
| yaaar | hey guys. is there a way to get apt to ignore a particular conflict it's finding with a package? every time i try to install anything it wants to remove these two packages i installed from .deb files, because it thinks their dependencies aren't met. the .deb was basically expecting the package to be named the wrong thing, so i had to install with --force-depends ...the packages (printer... | 21:03 |
| yaaar | ...drivers) work, but apt keeps trying to remove them and i can't install anything else or run upgrades now | 21:03 |
| TheMozart | UserSite: yes its easy.. just click on the wireless icon in toolbar | 21:03 |
| UserSite | i tried searching online for drivers but there arent any for linux. i might be missing a step | 21:03 |
| gilgamesh_ | geo: delete desktop login file :D | 21:03 |
| done365 | Hydrosis voices valid concerns, some of the "quirks" with Karmic can be rather overwhelming | 21:03 |
| UserSite | really thats it? wow that must be easy lol | 21:03 |
| TheMozart | UserSite: yes, thats it.. easy as ABC | 21:04 |
| TheMozart | UserSite: did you try it? | 21:04 |
| protojay | done365, hydrosis is just a troll | 21:04 |
| Slart | done365: indeed.. karmic has a lot of flaws.. sound is one there are plenty of others | 21:04 |
| Datawire | I'd like to enable file sharing between this latop using Ubuntu and my work computer running Windows XP, how would I go about doing that? | 21:04 |
| UserSite | TheMozart thanks a lot. still new to this but if i can get this down, something more to add to my resume. thanks again | 21:04 |
| Pici | protojay: Please stay on topic, this is a support channel. | 21:04 |
| trism | Dinglefairy: any value less than 1000 that isn't already taken (so 999, 998, etc should be safe) | 21:04 |
| Slart | done365: but this isn't the channel for that discussion.. | 21:04 |
| avm3 | can someone answer a most likely, amateur question about the new Ubuntu? | 21:04 |
| blakkheim | Datawire: you could try NFS | 21:04 |
| Slart | avm3: just ask | 21:04 |
| UserSite | well i will need to shut down this pc and boot up into it, unless theres a way i can VM into it. | 21:05 |
| avm3 | well i installed 9.10 | 21:05 |
| TheMozart | UserSite: dont give up,, keep learning. | 21:05 |
| Datawire | NFS? | 21:05 |
| iceroot | avm3: ask your question in one line | 21:05 |
| genii | ShishKabab: Apologies on lag, work required me. I've made audio-only dvd from OGG(which can also carry video) using it... mp3 haven't tried | 21:05 |
| TheMozart | Pici: all this time I seen you, i didnt know you were an OP :P | 21:05 |
| protojay | sorry pici | 21:05 |
| avm3 | i was told that if i'm running more than one linux distro, i only need one swap as long as there is a boot partition specified in both distros install | 21:05 |
| charlesg3 | is there an easy way for me to drop back to a sound server known to work? I don't need mixing or per user controls or anything... just for sound to come out | 21:05 |
| avm3 | but when i install ubuntu after fedora, it makes two new swap volumes | 21:05 |
| avm3 | and the boot loader recognizes windows but won't see fedora | 21:05 |
| TheMozart | UserSite: whats your host? | 21:05 |
| avm3 | even though each os is on its own partition | 21:06 |
| done365 | Slart: video is another, and it can be frustrating getting help on this channel, seems easier to get ostracized than help, I'm just saying | 21:06 |
| avm3 | so i don't know how to prevent this | 21:06 |
| iceroot | !enter | avm3 | 21:06 |
| ubottu | avm3: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:06 |
| avm3 | oh ok, sorry | 21:06 |
| Gnea | avm3: don't let it automate the partitioning, do it advanced/manually | 21:06 |
| avm3 | wawnt me to restate it? | 21:06 |
| max | can someone help me get to a openbox chat? I am new to everything | 21:06 |

| yaaar | done365: i've noticed that the quality of answers deteriorates when the problem description is 'ubuntu is broken!' and the person asking for help is unwilling to admit that he could have possibly done anything wrong, | 21:08 |
| jMyles | Does anybody know how to enable mod_alias in apache in ubuntu? | 21:09 |
| iceroot | yaaar: the key for quality answers is a detailed question in one line without repeating | 21:09 |

| Slart | jMyles: this might be helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332586 | 21:09 |
| iceroot | jMyles: sudo a2enmod mod_alias | 21:10 |
| kombucha | Is it necessary to do an "upgrade" before a 'dist-upgrade' ? | 21:10 |
| iceroot | kombucha: no | 21:10 |
| jMyles | iceroot: mod_alias does not exist | 21:10 |
| Slart | DaZ: there was an announcement from freenode about it (the tunneling http thingy) | 21:11 |
| Joker_-_ | How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)? | 21:11 |

| x_link | Would somebody like to tell me how to make a launcher for gnome-control-center? | 21:11 |
| Slart | iceroot, jMyles: I read something about it the other day.. they've moved it or moved the functionality into some other module.. can't really remember | 21:11 |
| Slart | x_link: a launcher to put on the desktop or in a menu? | 21:12 |
| ShishKabab | genii: Ok, thanks! Will try it with OGG. | 21:12 |
| timotheus | My GNOME power management DPMS has stopped working on my laptop after a recent package update. Any ideas why? | 21:13 |

| DaZ | Slart: it was after that :3 | 21:14 |
| x_link | Slart: I would appreciate both =9 | 21:17 |
| Slart | x_link: it doesn't work if you just put "gnome-control-center" as the command? | 21:17 |
| outer_space | is there a shortcut to open nautilus like windows has windows-e for explorer? | 21:17 |
| x_link | Slart: Where should I put the command? | 21:18 |
| x_link | Slart: Which row? | 21:18 |
| Slart | x_link: if you right click on the desktop.. and choose Create Launcher.. you'll get a window with some text fields.. one fiels is marked "Command" | 21:18 |
| x_link | Slart: Okey, I will write "gnome-control-center" there | 21:19 |

| UserSite | I finally got Ubuntu installed and connected to my wifi access point. I understand Ubuntu can be used to house images to be deployed to desktops/laptops. Is this true? | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | UserSite: sure, you can run a pxe server | 22:25 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: well, what I often do is chgrp -R www-data /path/to/myproject and then chmod 640... | 22:25 |
| Maletor | funkyHat: what's the point though? | 22:25 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: I can edit the project without having to mess about with permissions | 22:26 |
| max1 | how hard is it to do a minimal installation of ubuntu? Do you have to know exactly what packages to install? | 22:26 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: or using sudo | 22:26 |
| Slart | max1: I think you can install the ubuntu-desktop package to get all the standard stuff | 22:26 |
| === Elly_Tran_Ha is now known as some_guy_at_work | ||
| funkyHat | Slart: that's not minimal | 22:27 |
| Maletor | by why don't i just leave it as deploy:deploy ? funkyHat | 22:27 |
| Anticreeps | just installed the lastest updates and now Ubuntu will not boot. Now it tries to boot and it goes to a black screen like DOS | 22:27 |
| funkyHat | max1: do you want a minimal graphical install? | 22:27 |
| Anticreeps | saying press tab for commands | 22:27 |
| koshari | max1 you can go one of 2 ways, install ubuntu-desktop and strip what you dont need OR install ubuntu web install and install packages you need. | 22:27 |
| max1 | I don't know, someone suggested it yesterday for my hardware, so I guess I am going to look into it | 22:27 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: sure you can, then you'll need the permissions to be world readable (which they probably already are) | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | max1: minimal will give you a base system (kernel, kernel modules + bootloader). If you are siomply going to instll ubuntu-desktop on it you may as well use the desktop iso | 22:28 |
| koshari | max1 do you just want minimal fluxbox? | 22:28 |
| Maletor | funkyHat: what exactly does the user www-data do? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | max1: you can install a minimal gnome desktop instead to keep the install smaller than all the apps the desktop installs comes with (or use a different one) | 22:28 |
| max1 | I have never looked into fluxbox, right now I am in openbox, I have had ubuntu,xubuntu, and lubuntu | 22:29 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: the web server runs as that user | 22:29 |
| funkyHat | Maletor: so it has access to anything that that user has access to | 22:29 |
| koshari | max1 this is a good read, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | max1then just install the DE you want and you will havea minimal desktop which will use less ram and less hdd space | 22:29 |
| jMyles | How can I list all devices to which dnsmasq has assigned a dhcp address? | 22:30 |
| max1 | Well I like compiz and I thought compiz was just a add-on but someone told me yesterday it was a desktop | 22:30 |
| obiwan__ | hi guys, pelase i got a question: the zyxel router i got in my apartment has a web interface which lets me see who's connected (their local dhcp ip's 192.168...-alike). How can i see this thru telnet? i'm already connected to it, what should i type? | 22:30 |
| duffydack | I have an ati HD 4650 using fglrx, its great, but Id like to banish the tearing that I get watching videos.. Ive turned vsync always on in ati CCC and even vsync on in compiz settings..does absolutely nothing.. | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | obiwan__: telnet 192.168.0.1 (or whatever the address is) | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | obiwan__: same as windows | 22:31 |
| acrobat | anyone have a guide to how i can install ubuntulive to a USB stick with unetbootin? i've done this procedure many times before but this time i just can't get it to boot off my usb stick (it workde before on this stikc) | 22:31 |
| obiwan__ | the problem is that i dunno the local ip's ActionParsnip xP | 22:32 |
| obiwan__ | look, my friends are in the apartment and i want to fsck em a little (just joking) cause i'm not there, but i need to know their local ip addresses | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | obiwan__: if you run: route it will output the default route which will bne the ip, 192.168.0.1 is a good first try thouggh as most home grade routers use that address | 22:32 |
| Slart | obiwan__: nmap 192.168.*.* should find out what ip's are used | 22:33 |
| koshari | jMyles have you tried the -l switch? | 22:33 |
| xavierp94 | Hello? | 22:33 |
| obiwan__ | the efault route at my router is 192.168.1.1 | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | obiwan__: you got it then ;) | 22:33 |

| xavierp94 | really? | 22:35 |
| obiwan_ | ActionParsnip: , but i already did that, substituting 192.168.1.1 for the outside ip cause i'm telneting remotely | 22:35 |
| Hydrosis | xavierp94, you need to find the linux equilevant to Destopia or whatever the windows alternative is called. | 22:36 |
| Slart | xavierp94: I read that some people used "feh" to do that.. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Feh that page is for archlinux.. but it should be mostly the same in ubuntu | 22:36 |
| xavierp94 | I was asking about this because in Ubuntu 9.10 there is a wallpaper installed by default that does that. | 22:36 |
| xavierp94 | Its the one that has space pictures. | 22:36 |
| Hydrosis | xavierp94, I still have that wallpaper in Karmic. | 22:36 |
| Hydrosis | Its space themed./ | 22:36 |
| xavierp94 | Yes | 22:37 |
| _Tristan | my HD copies files very slowly, how can I make it faster? | 22:37 |
| Hydrosis | I still have mine? | 22:37 |
| xavierp94 | How can I do that too? | 22:37 |
| morphias | Hydrosis, any idea how they grouped the wallpaper like that? | 22:37 |
| xavierp94 | Is it a XML file? | 22:37 |
| Hydrosis | morphias, no bu Im sure you could find out on the Ubuntu Forums. | 22:37 |
| obiwan_ | ActionParsnip: i'm now in the telnet menu, and i want a list like this: user(the typical name the pc name you give when installing windows(they got windows)), and the local ip of that pc, then other pc name, and its ip, and so for all the local ips | 22:37 |

| Hydrosis | xavierp94, have you tried looking in the repository for wallpaper packages? Maybe there is something in there for you. | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | xavierp94: with that xml file setup you can define exactly when the wallpaper changes not just random. So you can jhave different ones for each day of the week, or hour of the day. | 22:45 |
| xavierp94 | ok | 22:45 |

| avm3 | I am trying to install Fedora Core and Ubuntu to the same disk drive. I was told I only need one swap partition and one boot partition, so long as there is some boot parameters specified to each partition. Ubuntu always wants to make its own swap partitions though, and it takes up disk space. Also, after I install Ubuntu, it doesn't see Fedora Core, it only sees Windows. How can I fix these two problems> | 23:15 |

| avm3 | it should come alive ify ou use a button, if it doesn't try unplugging your keyboard and plugging it back in, if that doesn't work the OS might have stalled out for some reason | 23:21 |

| Jeruvy | MasterofPuppets: ok, do the steps in #9 that will make it normal. Anytime I have panel woes that works perfectly. | 23:22 |
| Hydrosis | Dr_Willis, closed source software usually *works* for me, unlike many pet-project apps in the open source community. I love open source, but closed source means money is being put into it, usually. That ensures quality, a lot of the time. | 23:23 |
| MasterofPuppets | Jeruvy: Alright, do I have to reboot? | 23:23 |

| veille | magneto: do u think it would be sufficient? | 23:24 |
| unr3a1 | skrite, how? | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Hydrosis: i find that most closed source apps i use on linux - dont follow that logic. | 23:24 |
| unr3a1 | skrite, I need to boot directly to the command line first without starting xserver | 23:24 |
| Jeruvy | MasterofPuppets: You should not | 23:25 |
| unr3a1 | skrite, if I start xserver and back out, I get the funky colors | 23:25 |
| skrite | remove gdm | 23:25 |
| unr3a1 | well, I don't want to remove it | 23:25 |
| unr3a1 | I just want it to keep from booting for one bootup | 23:25 |
| MasterofPuppets | Jeruvy: Nevermind, it work, I just have to restore my changes. Thanks! | 23:25 |
| skrite | unr3a1, you can disable it by killing its execute permission sudo chmod a-x /etc/init.d/gdm | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | You can stop the gdm service from starting by changeing the name of the file /etc/init/gdm.conf | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: what release of ubuntu you using? | 23:25 |
| Jeruvy | MasterofPuppets: ah you keep backups, good to see :) | 23:26 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, 9.10. just upgraded, and it killed my nvidia driver installation | 23:26 |
| * Dr_Willis points out that in 9.10 the change to upstart has removed teh need/use/features of stuff in init.d/* | 23:26 | |
| Hydrosis | Dr_Willis, I find most open source apps that I would need to use if I didnt have closed source apps on linux fail to meet my requirements. Audacity, for example, is a failure when it comes to audio recording in a studio setting. ProTools and Adobe Audition are my preferred apps for that stuff. | 23:26 |
| unr3a1 | skrite, ok, and once I do that, reboot, it will boot to command line? | 23:26 |

| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: just cahnge the .conf extension to anything else. :) | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: or do 'sudo gdm' or perhaps 'sudo service gdm start' *that might work* | 23:27 |

| functionofxy | blakkheim, i'm on karmic | 23:32 |
| blakkheim | functionofxy: exactly | 23:32 |

| blakkheim | functionofxy: no, i don't use ubuntu. i'd just grab the source of the new version and compile it if i were you | 23:33 |

| NotTooSmart | can someone please help me with trying to make an encrypted hard-drive in ubuntu 9.10? the guide has left me lost | 23:56 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, now all I need to do is wait for the iso to download so I can create a usb stick to boot from to correct that .conf file... lol | 23:56 |
| Hydrosis | pwnedulongtime, I dont have always below as an option. What does "xfwm" mean? | 23:56 |

| Ziber | How can I install an iso to a virtual disk image? | 23:58 |
| Hydrosis | Does anyone know how to make my terminal window "always below", the exact opposite of "always on top"? | 23:58 |
| Hydrosis | pwnedulongtime, I dont use xfce. | 23:58 |
| undecim | NotTooSmart: Have look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LUKS. The guide is written for Arch, but most of it applies to Ubuntu as well. | 23:59 |
| JacobF | for some reason, mint / ubuntu hid (I say hid because it still says it's full) lots of files on a minidrive I have, it happened a while ago but now I'm wanting some music I scored back...any tips? I tried Pandora recovery without success... | 23:59 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber are you trying to mount a iso as a virtual cd-rom? | 23:59 |
| pwnedulongtime | Hydrosis, perhaps you should...it's so much faster and lightweight than most of the alternatives | 23:59 |
