| Ziber | unr3a1: well, not sure. i mean, im running xen, but non-hvm, so i was wondering if there's another way of installing the contents of the iso to the virtual HD? | 00:00 |
| Hydrosis | thanks trism | 00:00 |
| ganeshiva | none to answer my question?? | 00:01 |
| bbelt16ag | guhhhh | 00:01 |
| RandomUsr | How can I open a text file from the command line with writer? | 00:01 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, so you are trying to setup a virtual machine on your computer? | 00:01 |
| undecim | NotTooSmart: Come to think of it, I think the alternate install CD allows drive encryption. | 00:01 |
| Hydrosis | ganeshiva, I dont see a question. | 00:01 |
| === Out_Cold is now known as Guest23566 | ||
| NotTooSmart | undecim, my main drive has an encrypted folder already... | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | RandomUsr: if yiu mean openoffice writer the command is like oowriter i think | 00:02 |
| maco | ganeshiva: er, i said a few things to you before... | 00:02 |
| bbelt16ag | why is my maximize spanning two screen instead of one. | 00:02 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: specifically trying to install from an iso on non-hvm. debootstrap works, but there's no ubuntu 9.10 debootstrap template | 00:02 |
| pwnedulongtime | Hydrosis, i always prefer optimized/lightweight solutions over bloat any day no matter what hardware | 00:02 |
| undecim | NotTooSmart: Just your home directory right now then? | 00:02 |
| RandomUsr | tanx | 00:02 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, now to pump up my terminal, any recommendations ? :) | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: be more clear in what you mean for starters | 00:03 |
| Hydrosis | pwnedulongtime, this machine is my play box. For work and other shit I usually use ChrunchBang #! linux, so I know what you mean. | 00:03 |
| === Guest23566 is now known as Out_Cold | ||
| maco | ganeshiva: windows assumes the hardware clock is giving localtime. ubuntu asks during install, and you probably told it it was set to utc, not localtime. the file /etc/adjtime and the command "hwclock" are related to telling ubuntu that "oops, nevermind, my hardware clock is localtime, not utc" but im not quite sure how to do it. suggested "sudo hwclock --localtime" | 00:03 |
| Sk8rbluscat2 | When I use Ubuntu linux, i cannot adjust the gamma | 00:03 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, no specifics.. make it semi-transparent - ajust the colors..etc | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: thats trival stuff in the menus... | 00:03 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, oh, alright. I do not have any experience with hvm. sorry. | 00:03 |
| ganeshiva | time set is different in ubuntu when i boot | 00:03 |
| ganeshiva | it changes | 00:03 |
| exploit_ | ........... | 00:03 |
| pwnedulongtime | Hydrosis, gotcha | 00:03 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: im not using hvm. im using pv. | 00:03 |
| Ziber | !iso | 00:04 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:04 |
| Sk8rbluscat2 | i cannot adjust the gamma | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, sorry, should have been more specific. I do not have any experience with virtualization in linux. | 00:04 |
| pwnedulongtime | Hydrosis, is ChrunchBang themable? | 00:04 |
| Pixar | hi, which IM client has the get info thing pinging the user who i'm chatting so i can grab his ip? I think it came on instalation in the past on one of these 3 distros: debian, slackware or fedora. please help | 00:05 |
| Hydrosis | pwnedulongtime, http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/theming | 00:05 |
| Hydrosis | Its OpenBox. | 00:05 |
| Hydrosis | So, yes., | 00:05 |
| pwnedulongtime | oh right | 00:05 |
| pwnedulongtime | yeah I used to run this | 00:05 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, I would just assume to mount the ISO to a folder and then rip the contents of the folder to your virtual HDD, but I dont know if that would work for what you are trying to do. | 00:05 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: "rip"? how? | 00:05 |
| aliciapg | is there a video editor that supports rmvb files? | 00:05 |
| maco | ganeshiva: are you reading what i'm saying or not? | 00:05 |
| blakkheim | pwnedulongtime: just install openbox in an ubuntu minimal iso | 00:05 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, copy and paste | 00:06 |
| Ziber | worth a try. | 00:06 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, looks like theres a terminal themes section on Ubuntu-art.org | 00:06 |
| pwnedulongtime | blakkheim, wish I knew about this distro before | 00:06 |
| pwnedulongtime | not sure if my hetbook hardware would be supported though | 00:06 |

| unr3a1 | Ziber, why are you running a virtual hdd? are you trying to run a virtual machine while booted into linux? | 00:07 |
| magneto | i broke aptitude =( | 00:07 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: have a box running ubuntu. decided to learn xen. made a VM. :P | 00:07 |
| dr4g | Hey guys anywhere to get cool Termainl themes? :) | 00:07 |
| dr4g | - | 00:07 |
| yogi_ | ok | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: theres dozens of terminal program you can try. | 00:07 |
| Ziber | dont have hvm support, so im trying hackery ways of installing from an iso, rather than debootstrap | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: most poeple that use the terminal dont want fancy eye straining stuff in them | 00:08 |
| Hydrosis | gr4g: I just started using TILDA terminal. Nice stuff. | 00:08 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, in my experience people do care | 00:08 |
| dr4g | Hydrosis, i'll research it thankyou | 00:08 |
| aliciapg | is there a video editor that supports rmvb files? | 00:08 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, ah. ok. makes sense now :) | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: no they dont.. peole that actually WORK in the terminal for hours on end. dont care about themes.. they want nice fonts and stuff that dosent cause eyestrain | 00:09 |
| * Dr_Willis goes bnack to wondering why it takes 10+ min to move a 3mb file to the trashcan on his flash drive. | 00:09 | |
| Out_Cold | noobs are an eyestrain :p | 00:09 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: there has to be something more than simply copying... | 00:09 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, dont be boring! i use linux for work too! :) | 00:09 |
| dr4g | I like this theme this guy has: http://tmsnc.sourceforge.net/images/screenshot8.jpg | 00:10 |
| * maco really likes inconsolata for a terminal font | 00:10 | |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: :) and its often the uneducated masses that dictate what people 'want' | 00:10 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: and brb. | 00:10 |
| * erUSUL prefers terminus | 00:10 | |
| Hydrosis | dr4g: Dr_Willis is right. Most of us prefer minimal amounts of distractions. | 00:10 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, what is it that you are trying to install to this virtual hdd? an OS, just a program for a OS that is already installed onto it? you need to be a little more specific as to what you are exactly doing. | 00:10 |
| === guerrilha_crls is now known as datacrusher | ||
| * Dr_Willis is using a text based IRC client even | 00:10 | |
| * erUSUL raises hand | 00:11 | |
| * Hydrosis uses Xchat in Gnome. | 00:11 | |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, technically all irc clients are "text based" | 00:11 |
| === moreno is now known as SoniC | ||
| ganeshiva | where can i learn basic shell commands | 00:11 |
| Hydrosis | Out_Cold, not at all. Text based mean no GUI | 00:11 |

| ubottu | ganeshiva, please see my private message | 00:12 |
| * Dr_Willis has console/text based GUI apps. :) | 00:12 | |
| Dr_Willis | gotta love ascii line drawing | 00:12 |
| Out_Cold | i know was just razzing him | 00:12 |
| aliciapg | does anyone know if there is a video editor that supports rmvb files? | 00:12 |
| Out_Cold | ganeshiva, go find an ebook on linux or ubuntu administration | 00:12 |
| * Dr_Willis rembers when font-antialiasing was a 'cutting edge' feature in Linux | 00:12 | |
| Ziber | unr3a1: i want to install an iso of ubuntu 9.10 that i have onto this virtual HDD | 00:13 |
| ganeshiva | could anyone suggest any basic shell tutorials | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !shell | 00:13 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:13 |
| aliciapg | *sigh* does anyone know anything about mencoder? | 00:15 |
| Hydrosis | Dr_Willis, do you use the gnome terminal or something else? | 00:15 |
| unr3a1 | ok, you gotta give your virtual machine a cd-rom to potentially boot from | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: i know it has some very well done docs and faq's at the homepage. | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Hydrosis: i tend to use 'terminator' these days | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !info terminator | 00:15 |
| ubottu | terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13+ds1-2 (karmic), package size 138 kB, installed size 1188 kB | 00:15 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, I have my ubuntu flash drive booting now, will let you kno whow my boot up goes once I get that file name changed back | 00:15 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: can you do that without hvm? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: you dident try the nofb/nosplash options at teh grub command line? | 00:16 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders if anyone else has noticed VERY VERY slow usb flash drives when using ext2/3 on them? | 00:16 | |
| aliciapg | Dr_Willis: what homepage? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: id have to google for it.. | 00:16 |
| aliciapg | Dr_Willis: as am i but i can't find | 00:17 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, i had a live flash that was ext3 was pretty slow.. | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: so it dosent seem to be just my problem then. :) | 00:17 |
| untermensch | Question: my gnome-display-properties is only giving me the option of 1024x768, but it's capable of higher, how can i fix it? | 00:17 |
| max1234 | how do I find out what kind of audio card or driver I have? | 00:17 |
| Out_Cold | i use fat32 for data transfers | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: like taking 12hrs to copy over 1 gb.. :) | 00:17 |
| Out_Cold | wow.. not that long.. i think i did 8 gig in 1 hour | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/mencoder.html | 00:18 |
| rblst | anyone got experience with huawei e620 modem? | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: yea. this is a 8gb flash 3gb Max was on it.. its been taking 10+ min to just empty the trash | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: repartionint it to vfat now | 00:18 |
| Out_Cold | what was wrong with vfat and flash?? | 00:19 |
| Out_Cold | oh... permissions on mounting | 00:19 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, I don;t really know. I have some experience with virtualization, but only virtualization in windows. But I am sure it follows along the same rules. if you are trying to get a virtual machine to boot from a "cd-rom" it has to have one available to boot from. | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: i dont have any issues with that | 00:19 |
| max1234 | How do I find out what kind of display driver I have? | 00:20 |
| Ziber | unr3a1: for some reason, pv's cant use cdrom's, or something. idk. and brb dinner | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: ive just noticed the flash and ext2/3 beung nastyly slow compared to what it should be doing | 00:20 |
| Out_Cold | i think that if you are not the owner you have to state your permissions on mount.. can't chown or something | 00:20 |
| unr3a1 | Ziber, then I would try a different form of virtualization if it does not allow you to set optical media to boot from | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: thats how vfat/ntfs normally work. | 00:21 |
| untermensch | Question: my gnome-display-properties is giving me the best option of 1024x768, but it's capable of higher, how can i fix it? | 00:21 |
| jMyles | I'm using ubuntu-server as a router / gateway. When I add hosts to /etc/hosts, it takes the rest of the network almost a day to respond to them. How can I speed this up? What mechanism is creating the delay? | 00:21 |
| max1234 | How do I figure out what display driver I have? | 00:21 |
| Out_Cold | i remember being stumped helping someone on an ext hdd before... | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | untermensch: You have installed the proper video card drivers for your chipset? | 00:21 |
| daftykins | jMyles: what order do you have DNS configured in in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file? is "files" first ja? | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: for ext2/3 you set the permissions/oqnership same as if it was an internal drive | 00:22 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, oh, I thought they were options I could set in the grub config file. what do I have to type in to boot the hard disk from the grub command line with those options? | 00:22 |
| homebrewcider | hey there, I have a 1TB hdd on my server computer, I right click properties, it shows "used 105gb, free 765gb, there should be more free space than that surely, is there a limit to how much the file manager can "see" ? | 00:22 |
| untermensch | Dr_Willis: yes. they used to work, then after dual-screening with another monitor it went to this weird set up | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: use nosplash and nofb and delete the 'quiet' option at the end of the grub kernel options line | 00:22 |
| jMyles | daftykins: Very interesting - I've never seen this file. The "hosts" line reads in this order: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 | 00:23 |
| jMyles | daftykins: Mind you, I can ping with the hostname immediately from the server | 00:23 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, ok, doing that now | 00:24 |
| tanjir | homebrewcider, you are seeing it right... it is not limitation of the file manager | 00:24 |
| unr3a1 | Dr_Willis, so should i rename my gdm.conf file again? | 00:24 |
| daftykins | jMyles: ah well that's fine... it's got files prioritised... that's about all i know really! what OS are your clients? | 00:24 |
| jMyles | daftykins: all ubuntu | 00:24 |
| homebrewcider | but tanjir, shouldn't it add up to about 931gb? | 00:24 |
| untermensch | Dr_Willis: any other ideas? | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | unr3a1: if you want - using nosplash/nofb has nothing to do with that config file. the options will allow you to see all tjhe text boot messages | 00:24 |
| unr3a1 | kk | 00:25 |
| daftykins | jMyles: so all their primary DNS is the IP of the router/gateway e.g. 192.168.0.1 ? | 00:25 |
| jMyles | daftykins: yep | 00:25 |
| homebrewcider | instead of about 880 | 00:25 |
| tanjir | homebrewcider, in your console, type "df" it will give you the right information (you are missing swap partition i blv) | 00:25 |
| daftykins | jMyles: ah ok, i would personally try a DNS cache clear, though i'd imagine it shouldn't be too relevant since it would be a new hostname it hasn't tried yet! anyway that's the extent of my knowledge i'm afraid | 00:25 |
| ludivague | Hello people, I need some help. It's about a good software to manage my photos on my ipod, but another than GPixPod, because my iPod is 7th gen and it won't recognize it | 00:27 |

| ludivague | Rhytmbox is good for me, nice GUI and fast | 00:35 |
| dr4g | ludivague, screenshot? :) | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | good music players are often not good video players... | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | and visa versa | 00:36 |
| AshtonK | I've preferred Banshee as of late. | 00:36 |
| bbelt16ag | I ave also got my dns setup to use resolvconf in my /etc/network/interfaces. | 00:36 |
| AshtonK | Case in point, using VLC as a music player.... | 00:36 |

| lotus | AshtonK: I know there is an interface for working with it, but I'd be damned if I remember how. There is a shell command you can type to make it pop a notification, but I don't know how to change the icon status | 00:36 |
| dr4g | it will tempt me to stay on linux instead of booting to windows :d | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dr4g: i woudl suggest learning linux basics first and reading/exploring. | 00:36 |
| AshtonK | Hopefully they'll change that in 10.4 then. I know there was some sort of grand plan for that applet. | 00:36 |

| Dr_Willis | spend the next 3 days exploreing compiz and ccsm. | 00:38 |
| AshtonK | ccsm? | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | 00:38 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 00:38 |
| dr4g | AshtonK, making my ubuntu theme looking really good. i see loads of great example on google images. | 00:38 |
| AshtonK | Ohhh, that's what ccsm. | 00:38 |
| AshtonK | Yeah, compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | then go play with kde4 if you want fancy weirdness in your interface. :) | 00:38 |
| AshtonK | Will do the fancy effects. | 00:38 |
| dr4g | Dr_Willis, yea i've got ccsm up and running, playing with all the window effects | 00:38 |
| dr4g | i like the spinner on SUPER+TAB | 00:38 |
| AshtonK | Most other static stuff is on gnome-look IIRC. | 00:39 |
| dr4g | teally nice :) | 00:39 |
| dr4g | really * | 00:39 |
| AshtonK | Different engines, themes, etc. | 00:39 |

| Jeruvy | AshtonK: you'll probably want a real irc client for that purpose. | 00:58 |

| ubuntu__ | I need a few pointers tehn | 01:00 |
| Hydrosis | ubuntu__, I don't know, but it is easy to add one if you need to. After install, you'd just have to sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core gnome-core (or gnome if you want all the bells and whistles of a full desktop environment). If you also want a gui login, then also install gdm. | 01:00 |
| MikeJB | Edgan: Only problem is that I might forget to turn back on DCC months from now if I need it. Besides, it's more the joins followed by quits/k-lines that's annoying. | 01:00 |

| ubuntu__ | I'm new at this but have a clue as a DOS user from way back | 01:02 |
| ubuntu__ | LOL | 01:02 |
| maco | ubuntu__: to check its permissions "ls -l" | 01:02 |
| AshtonK | Right, time to do some testing for Audacity, since I'm one of the few testers that actually have Windows 7. | 01:02 |
| cg | _schism_: you need to use a loopback module iirc | 01:02 |
| Hydrosis | ubuntu__, use makedir | 01:02 |

| oscar__ | hi room i need help with a Java issue | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | Lemme go play for a few.... BRB | 01:03 |
| maco | ubuntu__: you'll see something like rwxr-xr-x or such. r = read, w = write, x = execute. first set is for owner, second for group, third for everyone else. owner and group are those two columns with names that come after the permissions bit | 01:03 |
| _schism_ | cg: whats a loopback module? a package or something else? | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | So rwxr sets permissions and stuff for access then. | 01:03 |
| oscar__ | anyone | 01:03 |
| ubuntu__ | I have no slue about Driver stuff | 01:04 |
| ubuntu__ | LOL | 01:04 |
| Hydrosis | !ask oscar__ | 01:04 |
| maco | ubuntu__: to change them, "chmod" is the command you want. i usually use numbers. r=4, w=2, x=1, so rwxr-xr-x = 755. i find the letter-based method of chmod'ing harder to remember | 01:04 |
| tanjir | oscar__, what is the issue? | 01:04 |
| oscar__ | well it wont close java windows somereason | 01:05 |
| tanjir | oscar__, are you triggering the event properly (i guess that is how close button works)? | 01:05 |

| tanjir | cause it seems like JScript to me | 01:20 |

| trism | izietto: the gdm in karmic was rewritten from scratch, and it doesn't really support themes yet (you can change some settings such as the wallpaper, but it is kind of pointless right now because any gdm updates will reset it to defaults) | 01:21 |
| powertool08 | Hydrosis: It really bugs me because its such a retarded error. I bet the video is encoded the same way, they are just trying to force an update. | 01:21 |

| tanjir | doufer, you need to install it in order to create anything | 01:25 |
| maco | there's people PM'ing links to a site, and if you click the link, YOU start spamming the link out to people in PM, and then if they click it, they do too... and so anyone who clicks it will likely be banned from the network | 01:25 |
| maco | all those people being k-lined are likely people who clicked the link | 01:25 |
| Hinata | Pe1o: oh. well... I guess I'll come back when it's a bit more quiet to ask for help or I'll become crasy ^ ^; | 01:25 |

| hcker2000 | Dr_Willis, can you please explain more? | 01:30 |

| maco | Pe1o: christel sent out a message to everyone saying that a bit ago | 01:30 |
| Pe1o | SNN`, no idea | 01:30 |
| maco | ok for anyone who missed it since the message was a while ago: | 01:30 |
| maco | [Global Notice] Hi all, we are currently experiencing a "new sort of spam" -- where the spammer claims to be tunelling via HTTP POST and encourages you to visit a url. Visiting the URL opens another connecting via YOUR ip which spams further, we encourage you to NOT click the link to avoid being banned from channels or the network. Thank you. | 01:30 |

| CokeNCode | i remember doing that in the past ... why can't i find lamp anymore ? | 01:31 |
| SNN` | i see what's happening now | 01:31 |
| daftykins | CokeNCode: just do "sudo tasksel" | 01:31 |
| SNN` | i suggest if that guy spams the link again, don't click on it. it attempts to join any channels and botnet spam lol | 01:31 |
| CokeNCode | daftykins, huh? sudo tasksel ? | 01:31 |
| tanjir | CokeNCode, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 01:31 |
| Pe1o | CokeNCode, lamp is an accronym for Linux , Apache, Mysql and eitehr Python or Php , your choice | 01:31 |

| Will123456 | hey guys. i installed the ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on my computer from a usb stick, and it worked absolutely fine. i could boot/reboot perfectly. however after running the update manager, i'm getting a "cannot mount root fs" error when trying to boot. there's a bunch of forum posts etc. on google but they're either unanswered or for wubi. does anyone have an idea on how to fix it? | 01:44 |
| Will123456 | the installed data itself is fine, no errors and so on | 01:44 |
| Will123456 | i'm pretty sure it's to do with grub or the boot process in general | 01:44 |
| ChogyDan | Will123456: did you try reinstalling grub? | 01:44 |
| teratoma | anyone gotten the wireless in a Panasonic Toughbook CF-Y7 to work? I am having trouble. system claims to have connected to a wireless network, but there is no connection | 01:44 |

| Will123456 | ChogyDan: i'm using the "livedisc" from my USB stick to post this: can i reinstall grub from there? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Will123456: somthing seems confuseing. You did a 'wubi' install? or a normal dual boot install? | 01:46 |
| Will123456 | Dr_Willis: no dual boot or wubi. just your standard install of a netbook ubuntu 9.10 | 01:46 |

| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: means your ffmpeg binary was not compiled with aac support. | 01:55 |

| ardchoille | aliciapg: how did you install ffmpeg? | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: You could try the ffmpeg from medibuntu, or various ppa repos..or recompile from source to add all the 'what might not be legal' featurtes | 01:56 |
| aliciapg | Dr_Willis: i already have ffmpeg though | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: and as we said.. it may NOT have all the features compiled in.. | 01:57 |

| yeason | bobbytek: when you're done you can close the connection with <ctrl>+c | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: install ffmpeg from a different location that has the features.. or recompile it from source. | 01:58 |
| aliciapg | Dr_Willis: so i have to look up a location and hope it has the features i want? | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | aliciapg: or do some research... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg | 01:59 |
| ubuntu__ | _tanjir_ ok Im to teh workgroup part and it wont let me configure the workgroup.... do I typ something before "workgroup? | 02:00 |

| ubuntu__ | use networktools | 02:10 |

| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf instead of vi - if you cant handle vi | 02:10 |

| ubuntu__ | In manager? | 02:12 |
| bbelt16ag | what's the equiv of shellutils on ububntu I can't find it in repo | 02:13 |

| ubuntu__ | SAM_In the book or under the battery it should say what i may be. | 02:14 |
| blakkheim | aarcane: unless you're running a full-on vnc connection (or something like that) that's not going to work | 02:14 |
| blakkheim | aarcane: are you sure there's no commandline alternative? | 02:14 |
| sam_ | ubuntu__, nope | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: thers no reason you couldent of installed the desktop version and used it as a fileserver | 02:14 |

| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: i use my desktop m,achineas as local samba fileservers all the time | 02:15 |
| waqar | i need some help | 02:15 |
| blakkheim | aarcane: care to tell me what it is? | 02:15 |
| ubuntu__ | Ok when you pair it it should come up with the preferances and it may be in there.... | 02:15 |
| waqar | is there a password manager available for ubuntu | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | waqar: for your browser or whate exactly? | 02:15 |
| waqar | like to manage all the passwords that i have | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | thers all sorts of password kepper tools and stuff. but i dont use many of them | 02:15 |
| sam_ | Dr_Willis, you may want to google ebox for a gui server solution for ubuntu | 02:16 |
| bbelt16ag | GRR why won't it install it | 02:16 |
| blakkheim | waqar: use a text file? | 02:16 |
| hiexpo | sounds like he went in nano and changed the rfcomm0 file | 02:16 |
| * Dr_Willis uses a little notebookl | 02:16 | |
| waqar | how does that work | 02:16 |
| sam_ | running x etc can be a security risk | 02:16 |
| ubuntu__ | Willis_ this learning curve has been huge. . . | 02:16 |
| aarcane | blakkheim, I want to configure transcoding jobs in handbrake, and then let them run in the queue, but the queue won't run unless the GUI is running, and the CLI doesn't feature previews or queuing | 02:16 |

| _schism_ | what do you guys think about wicd, is it better than the one built into ubuntu? | 02:16 |

| blakkheim | aarcane: i use handbrake for multiple rips in screen all the time | 02:17 |
| sam_ | Dr_Willis, fine, it is not considered good practice. If you are happy to take risks that is up to you | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: you are the one that decided to use the 'server' editiion intead of the desktop ed.. Go install the Desktop ed and have a nice gui if tyou want | 02:17 |
| _schism_ | dr_willis I have problems with my connection dropping when I am moving files around my network and have read that it helps with that. have you noticed it helping with that? | 02:17 |

| ubuntu__ | DR. WIllis _ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-gui-in-ubuntu-server.html | 02:18 |
| aarcane | blakkheim, except that I like to actually preview my transcodes, and also I can't be half way through one transcode and add another one. | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: install a gui then if you want. | 02:18 |
| yeason | ubuntu__: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 02:18 |
| ubuntu__ | OK! | 02:18 |
| yeason | if I remember correctly | 02:18 |
| blakkheim | aarcane: i'm not familiar with what you mean by preview, but you can write a script to do more than one and add it to a queue | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: but you may be beter off just installing a desktop edition then. | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: less room for propblems that way | 02:19 |
| aarcane | blakkheim, I like to look at the preview and make sure the crop detect is accurate, and the proper deinterlacing options are checked. | 02:19 |
| yeason | ubuntu__: actually it should be sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment, and Dr_Willis is right | 02:19 |
| ubuntu__ | Whats beter to start GNOME or KDE when i do jump into this? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: you can instgall both.. so it dosent matter. | 02:19 |
| blakkheim | aarcane: can't you configure all that on the commandline? i've seen it in the options | 02:20 |
| ralsheb | hi if i want to compile and install a kernel other than the one ubuntu uses ( for a school class ) will i need different kernel headers? im thinknig this is my problem | 02:20 |

| Mike_lifeguard | <g> | 02:24 |
| ubuntu__ | Ok I went and ran apt-get install GNOME and it says that teh variable lib package is locked and is asking me if I'm ROOT? What do i type? | 02:24 |
| blakkheim | ubuntu__: prefix it with sudo | 02:24 |
| ubuntu__ | OK | 02:24 |
| ChogyDan | Mike_lifeguard: because the dependencies have changed, and you need to install new packages | 02:24 |
| ubuntu__ | Gees | 02:24 |
| blakkheim | ubuntu__: also gnome is lowercase | 02:24 |
| ChogyDan | ... or remove | 02:24 |
| ardchoille | ubuntu__: you can re-run the previous command with: sudo !! | 02:24 |
| blakkheim | ardchoille: then it will error about GNOME being in caps, so.. | 02:25 |
| ardchoille | blakkheim: Ah, good point | 02:25 |

| ubuntu__ | I got some basic books and hav been reading and toying all week. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu__: of course the question is 'what is this server serveing up' - Your home videos? or somtjing more critical. | 02:29 |
| blakkheim | ubuntu__: that's a good start for sure, but you may want to try configuring things through the cli rather than *relying* on a gui for everything | 02:29 |
| blakkheim | ubuntu__: it's good to have options :) | 02:30 |
| ubuntu__ | Yeah music and videos so we can free up space on HDD to use 3D Parametric solid modeling and CNC programing programs | 02:30 |

| lamer12345 | is there anyway i can disable sleep mode when i close my laptop screen | 02:46 |
| blakkheim | lamer12345: gnome-power-preferences | 02:46 |
| gabless | Mhm | 02:46 |
| gabless | Or system > prefrences > power management | 02:47 |
| lamer12345 | i dont want it to do anything though | 02:47 |
| gabless | Mhm, in that GUI | 02:47 |
| lamer12345 | like the weakest setting i can select is blank screen | 02:47 |
| blakkheim | lamer12345: you can configure it there | 02:47 |
| gabless | Under 'display' | 02:47 |
| gabless | Sorry, under 'actions' | 02:48 |
| gabless | "When laptop lid is closed" | 02:48 |
| gabless | You can change it to "blank screen" | 02:48 |
| lamer12345 | i have an external monitor hooked up though | 02:48 |
| lamer12345 | i just want to close my laptop and keep working | 02:48 |
| gabless | Oh, hm | 02:48 |
| adsrikanth_ | command to turn off the webcam in Ubuntu 9.10 pls? | 02:48 |

| === adsrikanth_ is now known as techonaut | ||
| gabless | Sorry! | 02:49 |
| lamer12345 | hah | 02:49 |
| Pelo | adsized, do you know the name ofthe process that rund the webcam ? try to identify it in the system monitor, then in the terminal type sudo processname stop | 02:49 |
| lamer12345 | gabless, if you just close it and move your mouse it works | 02:49 |
| lamer12345 | while setting the setting to blank screen | 02:50 |
| techonaut | @Pelo will try that | 02:50 |
| === devunt_ is now known as devunt | ||

| lamahr | Pelo tv tunner usb hybrid | 02:54 |
| lamahr | digital and analog | 02:55 |
| Pelo | lamahr, my best suggestion on this if no one here offers any help , go to the forum and do a search on the card model, www.ubuntuforums.org | 02:55 |
| lamahr | but already search all over net and only digital works | 02:55 |
| gabless | It might be a good idea to start a new thread; people can give you more indepth help, and it's archived for future use | 02:56 |
| lamahr | Pelo it's been a month more or less since I look for info on this :s | 02:56 |
| lamahr | ubuntu forums, wikis, debian (since ubuntu is a derivated of debian), blogs, | 02:57 |
| lamahr | ãverything | 02:57 |
| lamahr | everything | 02:57 |
| gabless | Have you posted on the forum? | 02:57 |
| Pelo | lamahr, sorry I can'T help, searching for hardware model in the forum is often a good way to go for this stuff which is why I offred | 02:57 |
| lamahr | don't know what to do more | 02:57 |
| Pelo | lamahr, di dyou try the maker's website ? | 02:57 |
| gabless | @lamahr Sometimes you can compile a driver just using the .dll included in the driver. I'm not sure how to do it, but that would be a good thing to google. | 02:58 |

| Pelo | messenger ? you mean pidgin ? | 03:01 |
| fire_princes | Well, it is Gaim Internet Messengere | 03:01 |
| fire_princes | Messenger* | 03:01 |
| blakkheim | fire_princes: gaim is now pidgin | 03:01 |
| fire_princes | ok | 03:01 |
| fire_princes | but do I have to register somewhere | 03:01 |
| fire_princes | Because it doesnt wanna work. | 03:02 |
| Pelo | called pidgin now I beleive , not sure you need to register anywwhee, yo probably need an email account and to log on to some network for it to work | 03:02 |
| fire_princes | email account? | 03:02 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, there is a pretty big #pidgin channel, you might want to ask there | 03:02 |
| Awesome3000 | lamahr see http://linuxtv.org/ | 03:03 |
| fire_princes | ok | 03:03 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, sorry I have no idea how pidgin work click on this > #pidgin | 03:03 |
| fire_princes | ok thanks | 03:03 |
| abojuser | ive recently exerienced ubuntu is getting slower. Karmic was fine until two upgrades ago. Trying xubuntu now. But it feels slow too. Thinking of switching to debian because of this. Anyone noticed something similar? | 03:03 |
| TheMozart | i use pidgin | 03:03 |
| lamahr | tnks guys | 03:03 |
| tuv0k | how does one disable password on logout prompt? | 03:03 |
| blakkheim | abojuser: xubuntu is just as bloated. switching to a debian minimal install is a good idea if you need more speed. | 03:03 |
| Pelo | tuv0k, look in menu > system> admin > login window | 03:04 |
| abojuser | mm | 03:04 |
| abojuser | thx | 03:04 |
| tuv0k | Pelo, that aint even close | 03:04 |
| ChogyDan | abojuser: anything specific you can point to? Im just curious | 03:04 |
| meowkbuntu | hi all i am wanting to know it i can use ubuntu tweek on kubuntu | 03:04 |
| fire_princes | nobody is chating there | 03:05 |
| tuv0k | meowkbuntu, of course | 03:05 |
| blakkheim | meowkbuntu: the gnome-relateed parts won't work but the rest should | 03:05 |
| Pelo | tuv0k, you want to boot straight into ubuntu withough doing a passrword login ? that is exactly where | 03:05 |
| tuv0k | Pelo, not even what I asked | 03:05 |
| meowkbuntu | !ubuntu tweek | 03:05 |
| tuv0k | how does one disable password on logout prompt? | 03:05 |
| thiemster | !ubuntu tweek | 03:05 |
| tuv0k | meowkbuntu, you have your answer yes | 03:05 |
| tuv0k | the word is tweak | 03:06 |
| thiemster | tuvOk: do you mean disable password on login prompt? because you don't need to enter the password to logout (unless other users are also logged in) | 03:06 |

| fire_princes | where do I register for hot mail? | 03:07 |
| Skitzo | hotmail.com | 03:07 |
| thiemster | fire_princes: hotmail.com | 03:07 |
| fire_princes | thanks | 03:07 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, can we recommend gmail.com instead ? | 03:07 |
| thiemster | fire_princes: but that question doesn't really apply much on this irc channel | 03:07 |
| morphix | hmm.. in karmic is there a way to have the cpu frequency scaler gnome panel applet not require root pass all the time? | 03:07 |
| Callum_ | lol, asking how to register to a Microsoft service in Linux IRC channel | 03:07 |
| morphix | the instructs in wiki appear to be for previous versions | 03:07 |
| protojay | hmm | 03:08 |
| fire_princes | Is g-mail beather? | 03:08 |
| abojuser | i liked the gui in ubuntu and the atmosphere around it, ie forums. But now my 512 M ram seem to be insufficiant | 03:08 |
| fire_princes | well i will try it | 03:08 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, in many ways | 03:08 |
| fire_princes | ok thanks | 03:08 |
| Pelo | Callum_, let's face it , hotmail is synonymous with free online email , it's just a fact of life | 03:09 |
| thiemster | abojuser: try debian instead. it takes a little longer to figure out, but since you have used ubuntu you should be able to easily use it. I myself have 512mb ram and ubuntu ran quickly for about a month, but then seemed to get gradually slower. switching to debian a few months ago really helped | 03:09 |
| blakkheim | abojuser: yeah, i'd do a minimal install or a debian netinstall | 03:09 |
| blakkheim | abojuser: you should also look into using a window manager with no desktop environment | 03:09 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, microsoft has done it's best to encourage hotmail users ot use window products , gmail doesn't play silly games like that | 03:09 |
| thiemster | abojuser: and if you use debian with gnome the gui will be about the same, with the only difference being the default system background and colors (which you can easily change) | 03:09 |
| blakkheim | thiemster: actually ubuntu adds some bloat to a vanilla gnome install | 03:10 |
| thiemster | abojuser: alternatively, you could use the xfce or lxde desktops, both are much quicker on slower hardware | 03:10 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 03:11 |
| Pelo | sigh ... | 03:11 |
| meowkbuntu | so anyone know if there is an application similar to ubuntu tweak for kubuntu | 03:11 |
| Pelo | meowkbuntu, ubuntu tweak doesn'T do much | 03:12 |
| ardchoille | meowkbuntu: You should ask in #kubuntu | 03:12 |
| meowkbuntu | i hate it how this channel always stops ppl talking for no reason | 03:12 |
| arisi | does anyone have a copy of the manual for pc-lint or flexelint? | 03:12 |
| meowkbuntu | ardchoille: they dont know anything in there atm | 03:12 |
| Pelo | meowkbuntu, there is an idiot spamming the whole network, | 03:12 |
| ardchoille | meowkbuntu: Well, this cjannel isn't the place to ask for kubuntu support | 03:12 |
| tuv0k | how does one disable password on logout prompt? | 03:13 |
| thiemster | arisi: http://www.gimpel.com/html/manual.pdf | 03:13 |
| Pelo | ardchoille, we'll provide help if we can ther are several ppl here right not that use kubuntu and xubuntu , this is just hte main channel for *buntu | 03:14 |
| meowkbuntu | ardchoille: i'm not really just wanting to know if there is a similar application for kubuntu | 03:14 |
| thiemster | arisi: this came from a quick google search that said it was only exerpts, but i opened it and it seemed to be fairly complete | 03:14 |
| meowkbuntu | *ubuntu = Kubuntu | 03:14 |
| Pelo | tuv0k, how did you get a logout prompt in the first place ? | 03:14 |
| fire_princes | ok I regestered | 03:14 |
| ChogyDan | tuv0k: fwiw, Ive never had to enter a pass to logout, login yes | 03:14 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, congradulations | 03:14 |
| thiemster | ChogyDan: maybe tuvOk means that they have to enter a password to logout if there are other users logged in at the same time | 03:15 |
| thiemster | ChogyDan: as I know, at least for me, this is so | 03:15 |
| fire_princes | now what? | 03:15 |
| thiemster | fire_princes: now email some people | 03:15 |
| Seanehawk | Can I have some help with something? | 03:16 |

| Seanehawk | And that the hardware is correct | 03:17 |
| thiemster | did you try restarting? sometimes that will help | 03:17 |
| Seanehawk | Yes I did | 03:17 |
| fire_princes | my messenger is still not working! | 03:17 |
| dipponaught | anyone know why outgoing xmpp (port 5222) would be getting dropped/filter by my router? | 03:17 |
| Pelo | fire_princes, you nee to ask in #pidgin | 03:17 |
| Seanehawk | I've tried to restart | 03:17 |
| Seanehawk | But that doesn't work either | 03:17 |
| Pelo | Seanehawk, did you make any upgrade recently ? or add any new software ? | 03:17 |
| thiemster | a quick google search gives http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 03:17 |
| fire_princes | well, nobody is answering in there! | 03:17 |
| arisi | thiemster: i saw that one, its OK, but nowhere close to complete | 03:17 |
| thiemster | it's slightly outdated, but you may want to follow it | 03:17 |
| Seanehawk | No, I just booted up and my sound was gone | 03:18 |

| thiemster | arisi: well, just keep googling for it, and i'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere online | 03:18 |
| Arsin | If I put my jumpers in the correct location, what might be a reason as to why I can only transfer at 40mb/s? | 03:18 |

| Seanehawk | Yes | 03:23 |
| Seanehawk | I entered the command | 03:23 |

| arvind_khadri | Gerinych, reinstall grub | 03:23 |
| Pelo | Seanehawk, wich message was that ? | 03:23 |
| Seanehawk | "aplay: device_list:221:no soundcard found..." | 03:23 |
| Gerinych | arvind_khadri, how do i do that | 03:24 |
| Pelo | Seanehawk, better , open a terminal and type lspci see if your card is listed | 03:24 |
| arvind_khadri | !grub | Gerinych | 03:24 |

| Seanehawk | Okay | 03:24 |
| thiemster | seanehawk: just keep following the success/failure chart from the website i forwared to you | 03:25 |
| wad | Pelo, I'm just trying to get the .dv file off my video camera, and kino can't seem to save all the frames. It's only keeping like 5 frames per second. | 03:25 |
| Seanehawk | No, it's not | 03:25 |
| Pelo | wad, not sure avidemux can help with that , avidemux is a video editor | 03:25 |
| Seanehawk | And okay | 03:26 |
| Seanehawk | Sorry, I didn't see what you said when Ientered that | 03:26 |
| Pelo | wad, try copying the file off the camera ontoyour hdd , maybe you can convert it with avidemux to some format like avi afterwards | 03:26 |
| Seanehawk | Thank you very much | 03:26 |
| === dmb__ is now known as dmb | ||
| thiemster | seanehawk: good luck on getting sound. just search around if you're still having trouble | 03:28 |
| wad | Pelo, hmm... is there a way to somehow mount the device to a filesystem, so I can copy it directly with the command line? I think Kino is savaging the data as it brings it down. I just want to get the raw video file. | 03:29 |
| Pelo | wad,are you running gnome ? | 03:30 |
| wad | Pelo, yep, normal Ubunt. | 03:30 |
| wad | Ubuntu, even. | 03:30 |
| Pelo | wad, try this, open a nautilus windows, goto edit > preferences , last tab support, inthe first section, the fourth one listed photos, tell it to open a folder , instead of launching kino or whatever | 03:31 |
| fluggo | I know this will sound trollish, but *is* there a working text editor on Linux that doesn't take a week to learn? | 03:31 |
| wad | Pelo, alrightey. | 03:31 |
| fluggo | excuse me, Ubuntu | 03:31 |
| Awesome3000 | fluggo gedit or nano | 03:31 |
| fluggo | gedit == broken, will frequently paste into a random area of the document | 03:31 |
| fluggo | nano == decent, was hoping for something GUI-ish | 03:32 |
| Pelo | wad if you plug this camera in with usb , you should be able to access it as a mounted drive somewhere, just not sure where if nautius doesn,t do it | 03:32 |
| fluggo | but if I have to take to the command line to get an editor that works, so be it | 03:32 |
| wad | It's firewire (IEEE 1394) | 03:32 |

| fluggo | oh :P | 03:34 |
| Pelo | fluggo, if you want a graphical editor gedit , it's default installed in ubuntu | 03:34 |
| fluggo | yes, Pelo, thanks, but like I said-- unless this has been fixed recently and I didn't know about it-- it's got issues with pasting | 03:34 |

| Awesome3000 | Pelo Sorry it opens a PM window so when i respond it is a pm | 03:36 |
| Pelo | kn1fe, try asking in #hardware maybe | 03:37 |
| rww | kn1fe: If you're in the US, the Dell Mini 10v is nice (linked from dell.com/ubuntu ). System76 and Zareason have nice ones too. | 03:37 |
| Pelo | Awesome3000, it was /notice , suppose to send message to the dest. 's active windows | 03:37 |
| Awesome3000 | Pelo sorry I confused you with fluggo | 03:38 |
| fluggo | happens all the time :P | 03:38 |
| Pelo | Awesome3000, you can use > instead of | it will sent the ubottu msg to a private windows , | 03:38 |
| Pelo | that 's as long as you don'T confuse the dest | 03:38 |
| kn1fe | rww: Does look sweet. I've heard that the z series of atom processors uses less power though? | 03:39 |
| wad | Hey, I wonder if there is a way to use dd to grab the raw video data off the tape? I can go through the /dev/dv1394 device, maybe. | 03:41 |
| rww | kn1fe: I don't have my notes handy, but the various Dell Mini 10 models use different Intel chipsets, with wildly differening support for Linux in their graphics. | 03:41 |
| Pelo | wad this is a tape camera ? I thought it was flash | 03:41 |
| rww | kn1fe: hence me pointing you at dell.com/ubuntu , which I believe links to one of the better ones | 03:41 |
| wad | Pelo: tape. | 03:41 |
| Pelo | wad, might want to ask in ##linux also | 03:41 |
| wad | Good idea. :) | 03:42 |
| blakkheim | kn1fe: asus eeepc 1201n | 03:42 |
| fluggo | wad -- what are you trying to pull off tape? | 03:42 |
| wad | fluggo, raw video data | 03:42 |
| Pelo | wad, or maybe in #ffmpeg the ppl there might know how to record off the camera | 03:42 |
| fluggo | wad: dvgrab will do it | 03:42 |
| wad | fluggo, I tried using Kino to get the videos, but it's horrible. | 03:42 |
| fluggo | you have to sudo chmod a+r /dev/raw1394, but it will do it | 03:43 |
| wad | I did that already. :) | 03:43 |
| fluggo | ah; bad results? | 03:43 |
| wad | Ah, dvgrab look like exactly the tool I want! | 03:44 |
| wad | thanks, fluggo! | 03:44 |
| fluggo | np, don't forget the chmod thing | 03:44 |
| Pelo | crap, java just went 100% cpu on me ... | 03:45 |
| ahabman3 | I'm trying to swap out /etc/X11/xorg.conf, [do something like reload or restart X server?], then have my other xorg.conf be the active one, but I don't want to be logged out. What should I be doing? | 03:46 |
| kn1fe | blakkheim: That does look pretty sweet, but I already have a Macbook (C2D). Was more looking or a toy I could take on trips and play with when I'm home. | 03:47 |
| blakkheim | kn1fe: eeepc 1005ha then? | 03:48 |
| kn1fe | blakkheim: I've been looking at that as a possibility. | 03:48 |
| kn1fe | blakkheim: The battery life looks incredible, which would be nice. | 03:48 |
| microhaxo | Will ubuntu on a Asus Eee pc 100he support SSD hd? | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | 1000he | 04:01 |
| undecim | microhaxo: yes. The Eee was designed to run Linux. | 04:02 |
| === NxTitle is now known as NxTitle890123456 | ||
| microhaxo | I know on windows it works fine, but i wasn't sure if ubuntu 9.10 supported the drivers perfectly | 04:02 |
| === NxTitle890123456 is now known as NxTitle | ||
| microhaxo | Just dont want to pay 130.00 for a SSD to have it run sub par because of drivers. | 04:02 |
| undecim | microhaxo: The interface is identical to that of a traditional hard drive. | 04:02 |
| microhaxo | Nice | 04:02 |
| microhaxo | Think its worth it getting a 40gb SSD for my netbook? | 04:03 |
| undecim | And since the EeePC was designed to be compatible with Linux, everything --even wireless-- works out of the box. | 04:03 |
| microhaxo | yea i have 9.10 running right now. Very happy with it. | 04:03 |
| microhaxo | even bluetooth worked out of the box. | 04:03 |
| undecim | microhaxo: unless you are using it as your main computer, 40GB is pretty big for a netbook. | 04:04 |
| microhaxo | well, i dont want to run out :| | 04:04 |
| undecim | microhaxo: When I had my AA1, I would use sshfs to store all my files on my desktop, but still access them on my desktop. | 04:04 |
| microhaxo | ubuntu already takes up ~4gb or so | 04:04 |
| undecim | microhaxo: I would spend the money on a portable hard drive, if I were you. | 04:05 |
| microhaxo | why? | 04:05 |
| microhaxo | i dont want more storage, i want faster performance. | 04:05 |
| microhaxo | I have a 160gb in it right now that came with it. | 04:05 |
| undecim | SSDs don't necessarily perform any faster than hard drives. | 04:05 |
| undecim | They tend to boot faster, because they have faster read times, but they also have slower write times. | 04:06 |
| microhaxo | Not according to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FloAm4fFC8&feature=player_embedded | 04:06 |
| === Bwaah is now known as Bwaah|Butthurt | ||
| undecim | microhaxo: Oh, so you have a hard drive in there right now? | 04:06 |
| microhaxo | yes | 04:06 |
| mneptok | microhaxo: that YT video does not address all use cases. | 04:07 |
| microhaxo | True, i wont be moving or writing large file | 04:08 |
| microhaxo | s | 04:08 |
| undecim | microhaxo: +1 to mneptok's comment. You won't be able to notice a difference in performance with an SSD vs a HDD | 04:08 |
| microhaxo | :| | 04:08 |
| microhaxo | oh | 04:08 |
| microhaxo | I just wanted a faster boot and faster load times | 04:08 |
| microhaxo | it takes ~4 seconds to load up swiftfox. | 04:08 |
| undecim | microhaxo: Also, I'm not sure about EeePCs, but with my AA1 that I had, there wasn't a standard drive slot in it. it was something like a PCI card that the SSD used. Idk about EeePCs, but you may want to check before investing any money in it. | 04:10 |
| microhaxo | I checked the back panel comes off and i see a 2.5" hd in place. | 04:11 |
| deitarion | Reminder: Do not visit the URL in the MSG/DCC spam. It will cause your browser to send more of it. | 04:11 |
| undecim | microhaxo: Ultimately, it is your decision. If you think a couple seconds is worth the money to get the new drive, then by all means go ahead. | 04:12 |
| microhaxo | I wish i could use one with a ssd so i could see the difference | 04:12 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: i use an ssd, it's insanely fast | 04:12 |
| microhaxo | oh what type of computer? | 04:12 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: netbook | 04:12 |
| microhaxo | what brand of ssd? | 04:13 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: kingston | 04:13 |
| microhaxo | blakkheim: size? | 04:13 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: 64gb | 04:13 |
| microhaxo | So in your opinion well worth the upgrade? | 04:13 |
| ae86-drifter1 | hey, what do i need to do after editing grub.cfg? | 04:14 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: definitely, it's the biggest improvement in a single hardware component i've ever seen | 04:14 |
| microhaxo | blakkheim: Does it help battery life any or is it about the same? | 04:14 |
| blakkheim | microhaxo: it adds about 30 mins to battery but my battery is old so it'd probably be better on a new system | 04:14 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: You're not supposed to edit grub.cfg directly... it won't hurt anything as long as you don't have any errors, but when you update, your changes will be overwritten. | 04:14 |
| deitarion | One visit to the URL in the spam causes spam in #freenode, #gentoo, #wrongplanet, and here, so it's important nobody click on it. | 04:14 |
| microhaxo | blakkheim: Thanks for the info. I'll buy a 32gb version. | 04:15 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, so i have edited grub.cfg just to change around some names of menu items, what should i do now? | 04:15 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: Though if you are just trying to test a change before editing the files in /etc/grub.d/, all you have to do is reboot | 04:15 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, i edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 04:16 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: yeah. As soon as you upgrade, grub.cfg will be overwritten based on whats in /etc/default/grub amd /etc/grub.d/* | 04:16 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: Right now, you don't need to do anything -- grub will read the new config and use it. If you want to make the changes permanent, you will need to edit some of those files in /etc/ | 04:17 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, well can u please tell me the correct file to edit? | 04:17 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: 1 sec... | 04:18 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: what were the entries you were changing (Ubuntu or windows or something else?) | 04:18 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, it actually will not let me save it with sudo gedit, it says its a rad only disk.. | 04:19 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: grub.cfg? | 04:19 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, i was editing the entry for windows vista as there were two, but one changing to "acer recovery partition" | 04:19 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, yes | 04:20 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: Let me take a loot at the grub config files, and I'll tell you how to change it like you want so that it will be a permanent change. | 04:20 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, im using grub 1.97 | 04:22 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: Yeah. that's the grub version that uses grub.cfg | 04:23 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, yeah i thought it was > v2 but i was wrong | 04:23 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: 1.97 is called "Grub2" | 04:24 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: the old version was 0.97 or so | 04:24 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, no its not, its called grub 1.97, its a beta version for v2.0 | 04:25 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: Are the two windows entries exactly the same? | 04:25 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, mate forget it | 04:25 |
| ae86-drifter1 | youre more of a noob then me | 04:26 |
| ae86-drifter1 | ive done it already | 04:26 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: well, if you're interested, the file you need to edit to make the change permanent is /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober | 04:26 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, or you could do it the proper way and use grub-mkconfig | 04:27 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, thanks anyway | 04:27 |
| === Bwaah|Butthurt is now known as FatAlbert | ||
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: grub-mkconfig won't make any changes. In fact, it will overwrite grub.cfg. | 04:30 |
| === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, i understand, it will build a new grub.cfg based on the config files i have already edited, my problem was that it wouldnt let me save it, i was just after a quick answer, but the problem is solved already | 04:31 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: okay. | 04:31 |
| ae86-drifter1 | i forgot the command to save grub.conf thats all | 04:31 |
| Pelo | ae86-drifter1, you needed to open said file with sudo | 04:31 |
| undecim | ae86-drifter1: so you edited /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober? | 04:32 |
| ae86-drifter1 | Pele, like i said previousl sudo doesnt even let you save it, you need to use the grub-mkconfig, thats the only way to build the grub.cfg.. | 04:32 |
| ae86-drifter1 | undecim, yes, i did already, it tells you that file u need to edit in the grub.cfg.. | 04:32 |
| ae86-drifter1 | its fixed hey , never mind its perfect now | 04:33 |
| Pelo | ae86-drifter1, in grub two the file you edit with sudo is /etc/default/grub , then you run update-grub also with sudo , it makes theproper edits to grub.conf which you are not suppose to edit manualy | 04:33 |
| LtHummus | is there a way to allow certain users to SSH in to my machine from the local network in my house and allow other users to SSH in to my machine from the internet? | 04:35 |
| Barridus | can UI buttons (lke OK, etc) be resized? | 04:37 |
| Out_Cold | LtHummus, using keys it's most likely possible.. are you behind a router? | 04:37 |
| undecim | LtHummus: I'm pretty sure it's possible to set options in sshd on a per-user basis. | 04:37 |
| infid | should all new nvidia geforce cards work fine in debian, including dual monitors? | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | infid: this is not a debian channel | 04:38 |
| infid | sorry i meant ubuntu | 04:38 |
| LtHummus | LtHummus: yes I am behind a router and I'm going to open it to the world, but I'd only like certain users to log in from the outside | 04:38 |
| fluggo | Barridus: you can change the font size, which will do that | 04:38 |
| LtHummus | did I just reply to myself? hahah Out_Cold, undecim: yes I am behind a router member:and I'm going to open it to the world, but I'd only like certain users to log in from the outside | 04:38 |
| * undecim consults the sshd_config manpage | 04:39 | |
| Out_Cold | haha do you want the other users to have their own username on your box? | 04:39 |
| fluggo | Barridus: under System->Preferences->Appearance, Fonts tab, "Application font" | 04:39 |
| LtHummus | I am using my machine for a media center so I have a main user that is logged in by default (with a relatively insecure password) and I have my personal account that I use for admin and want that to be the only account to log in from outside my LAN | 04:39 |
| LtHummus | I know I can allow/deny groups, but it'd be nice if I can allow/deny groups based on IP | 04:40 |

| osirisx11_ | hi all | 04:40 |
| osirisx11_ | i am setting up ubuntu for my mom, a long time windows user, and i want to make it real easy for her.. is there a way i can add the common icons to the desktop? Computer, Home, Trash? | 04:40 |
| Flare-Laptop | !newuser | osirisx11_ | 04:41 |
| Flare-Laptop | !newusers | osirisx11_ | 04:41 |
| ubottu | osirisx11_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 04:41 |
| Out_Cold | LtHummus, i suggest using a key pair if you open it up to the outside.. then disable ssh password for your sshd_config | 04:41 |
| Dimoutlook | Hi to all posted a msg last night about 9.10 / 64 bit are all the installed aps 64 bit | 04:42 |
| LtHummus | Out_Cold: yeah I know I really should set that up.....i guess i have nothing else to do tonight :) | 04:42 |
| LtHummus | !ssh | 04:42 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 04:42 |
| Out_Cold | LtHummus, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30709 | 04:42 |
| LtHummus | haha thank you | 04:42 |
| Out_Cold | it's not so bad | 04:42 |
| Out_Cold | i did it today.. | 04:42 |
| LtHummus | Out_Cold: so I guess if I don't generate a key for my non-personal account, they can't log in | 04:43 |
| LtHummus | nifty | 04:43 |
| brijith | osirisx11_:hi I can hep you .... | 04:43 |

| Dimoutlook | fluggo bye bye windoze 9.10 is the only OS for me now, have to run take care | 04:46 |
| osirisx11_ | brijith: thanks, you think there is some settings in there to show common icons on the desktop? | 04:47 |
| Flare-Laptop | osirisx11_: Ahh ok | 04:47 |
| Barridus | fluggo, looks like gnome-color-chooser is what i need, it allows you to shrink the buttons further beyond just the font. thanks for the advice though. | 04:47 |
| brijith | osirisx11_:yes , in Gconf-editor go to apps>nautilus>desktop | 04:47 |
| osirisx11_ | brijith: works perfect!! thanks! | 04:48 |
| brijith | osirisx11_:pleasure to help you . :) | 04:49 |
| osirisx11_ | how can i install a login theme? documentation references an install button in the System->Login Screen program, i am on karmic 9.10 and i do not see that functionality. i have downloaded a tar.gz i want to use for the login theme. | 04:50 |
| MrPockets | Is there any way I can have my wallpaper centered but on both monitors, if i'm running a spanned dual monitor setup? | 04:51 |
| petsounds | osirisx11_, what version of ubuntu? | 04:52 |
| osirisx11_ | petsounds: 9.10 | 04:53 |
| infid | i have an integraded nvidia geforce card that i set up when i installed ubuntu but i just bought a pci-e nvidia geforce. Do i have to install new drivers? lshw seems to detect it fine | 04:54 |
| petsounds | osirisx11_, ok. you don't change GDM. you can find some hacks with how to do this but it's not recommended. | 04:54 |
| osirisx11_ | petsounds: so i MUST have that brown login screen? I see lots of themes on art.gnome | 04:55 |
| jpmelos | infid, i don't think you need to install a new nvidia driver. the driver gets all the nvidia boards | 04:56 |
| infid | sweet | 04:56 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: If you want, there is a way to log in as the GDM user and change the background. | 04:56 |
| protojay | hey | 04:56 |
| morphix | whoever decided to remove the theme ability in the new gdm for ubuntu is stupid | 04:57 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: basically, you log out, go to a terminal, sudo su to the gdm user, set the DISPLAY variable, and then launch gnome-control-center | 04:57 |
| osirisx11_ | undecim, petsounds: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter why are all of these here if i can't use them? | 04:57 |
| morphix | and i would love to see the valid reason why this was done? | 04:57 |
| infid | if i plug a second monitor in to my video card, do i have to reboot ubuntu for it to detect it? | 04:57 |
| morphix | all other distros dont seem to be affects by this, its just ubuntu devs appeared to have removed it. | 04:57 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: The Ubuntu devs decided to break that functionality in 9.10 | 04:57 |
| osirisx11_ | undecim: thank you | 04:58 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: exactly why is beyond my comprehension... | 04:58 |
| osirisx11_ | undecim: well i haven't told my mom this is even possible yet so it is okay :) | 04:58 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: lol. Well, like I said, you can change your background, theme, etc. | 04:58 |
| Flannel | undecim, osirisx11_: GDM2 is a rewrite, it's a GNOME thing, not an Ubuntu thing. It just doesn't have thatfunctionality yet, they didn't 'break' it | 04:58 |
| petsounds | osirisx11_, because that's for previous version of ubuntu which is using usplash and karmic now is using xsplash | 04:59 |
| undecim | Flannel: oh, so it was the gnome devs... I should have guessed it. | 04:59 |
| osirisx11_ | undecim: yes, how do i do that? i logout.. and how do i get to a terminal from the login screen? set the display variable to what? | 04:59 |
| osirisx11_ | petsounds: thank you | 04:59 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: after you "sudo su -u gdm" you need to run "export DISPLAY=:0" | 05:00 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: then you can run apps in that terminal, and they should show up on the GDM screen. | 05:00 |
| osirisx11_ | how do i get to a shell from login screen? | 05:00 |
| undecim | osirisx11_: ctrl+alt+f1 | 05:00 |
| osirisx11_ | oh, ctrl-alt-f1? | 05:00 |
| osirisx11_ | cool | 05:00 |
| undecim | With a little more work, you can also get conky or other apps running on your gdm screen. | 05:01 |
| jpmelos | wow... i didnt know that about gdm :o that's pretty cool! | 05:01 |
| morphix | <undecim> With a little more work, you can also get conky or other apps running on your gdm screen. << hmm i never knew that. | 05:02 |
| morphix | conky would be cool :) | 05:03 |
| osirisx11_ | thanks | 05:03 |
| osirisx11_ | i'll give it a shot | 05:03 |
| undecim | morphix: I forget where exactly, but somewhere in /usr/ is a folder for .desktop files that gdm autostarts. | 05:03 |
| undecim | /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ | 05:03 |
| undecim | so you create a .desktop file for conky and put it there | 05:04 |
| undecim | Only caveat is that if you want conky to have the same settings for both your desktop and gdm, you need to configure it in /etc/conky/conky.conf instead of .conkyrc | 05:05 |
| LtHummus | is there anyway to override passwd complaining that 'my password is too short' | 05:10 |
| undecim | LtHummus: Set the password while root | 05:10 |
| undecim | LtHummus: for example "sudo passwd lthummus" | 05:10 |
| sloopy | LtHummus, change it from the shell ' sudo passwd username' | 05:10 |
| LtHummus | thanks undecim sloopy | 05:10 |
| sloopy | np | 05:10 |

| EastDallas | Lancer_: there's a registry key that will run a file everytime you try to execute an exe file, it probably needs to be removed. I believe it's Hkey\Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run | 06:02 |
| Pelo | nixjr, pulseaudio kind of reroutes a bunch of differnet ways apps try to use audio into one way so everything works together nicely with alsa and the rest | 06:03 |

| DaveWM | yea, you'll have to redo grub after you reintall 7 | 06:14 |
| Pelo | RyanD, for which , for windows or for ubuntu ? | 06:15 |
| RyanD | ubuntu | 06:15 |
| Lancer_ | can i just redo grub with a livecd? | 06:15 |
| Pelo | RyanD, are you using the live cd now to access the ubuntu partitons ? | 06:15 |
| RyanD | yes | 06:15 |
| Pelo | RyanD, you found the menu.lst file ? | 06:16 |
| RyanD | yes | 06:16 |
| infid | does linux consider a monitor a dominate monitor if it's plugged into a certain port on a graphic card? | 06:16 |
| MrNaz_yma | if i want to allow users to mount remote samba shares, how would i do that? only root can use mount, and when i try to do it from most user accounts i get "this user is not in the sudoers file" error | 06:16 |
| EastDallas | Lancer_: that's probably some bogus AV software. What you're describing sounds more like malware than a virus. | 06:16 |
| Lancer_ | @infid I believe you should check your xserver settings | 06:17 |
| Pelo | RyanD, ok it's better to use the uuid, to get the uuid , open a terminal and type sudo blkid , from there you need to figure outwhich is hte partition you have ubuntu installed on, copy that exactly to the correct line in the menu.lst file , save and reboot you shoudl be fine | 06:17 |
| EastDallas | Lancer_: take a look at this. You might try making one of these CDs and see if it helps: http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/ | 06:17 |
| vangelis | hi everyone | 06:17 |
| RyanD | i tried that "root=UUID=xxxxxxx" but it did not help | 06:18 |
| vangelis | g/m from Greece | 06:18 |
| Pelo | ryanakca, the uuid needs to match exactly | 06:18 |
| Pelo | RyanD, , linux is case sensitive, | 06:18 |
| Lancer_ | @EastDallas awesome, thank you :) could you clarify which grub problems i could have after a reinstall of windows? | 06:18 |
| MrProkhorov | Hi, could anybody help me out with a stupid-simple BASH question? | 06:18 |
| MrProkhorov | I need to know how to notate a directory name with whitespace while using a shell? e.g. if I wanted to "cp /this and that /blah/that" | 06:18 |
| RyanD | hmmmm....let me try again, brb. do i have to change any other file, like fstab | 06:19 |
| EastDallas | Lancer_: for instance windows reinstall will overwrite mbr and you won't get a boot menu at all, it will just go straight to windows | 06:19 |
| rww | MrProkhorov: replace the " " with "\ ". e.g. "this\ and\ that" | 06:19 |
| nixjr | MrProkhorov, would cp "/this and that/blah" work? | 06:19 |
| rww | MrProkhorov: tab-completion can often help with that | 06:19 |
| rww | !tab | MrProkhorov | 06:20 |
| ubottu | MrProkhorov: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:20 |
| Lancer_ | @EastDallas OKay, so I'd just have to boot a livecd and reconfigure grub how i had before? | 06:20 |
| MrProkhorov | Aha, thank you very much gentlemen! I figured it was something easy like that! | 06:20 |
| EastDallas | Lancer_: in theory, but you prob. want to ask someone else how to reconfigure it, I'm no grub2 guru. | 06:20 |
| soreau | MrProkhorov: cp /path/foo\ bar /baz | 06:21 |

| soreau | MrProkhorov: or, just use quotes like cp "/path/foo bar" /baz | 06:22 |
| Pelo | devunt, do you have vbox install with a windows running in it ? | 06:22 |

| servus | Running Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 with all updates applied (Kernel 2.6.31-17-server): Upon system startup, `runlevel` is 'unknown', and daemons like ssh, samba do not start.

| devunt | who is a xgxwhqzw | 07:14 |

| Sorhan | need some help with samba, any one got a second to help? probably some minor setting | 07:15 |
| === david is now known as Guest70615 | ||
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan Okay what's the trouble | 07:18 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: shoot | 07:18 |
| almoxarife | :) | 07:18 |
| Sorhan | got samba to see the WinVista machine on network, it's not seeing the Win7 | 07:18 |
| Sorhan | granted i can't seem to browse the vista machine, but at least it's seeing the machine's name | 07:19 |
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan Have you set up Win7 with the old sharing system | 07:19 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: can the vista see the win7? | 07:19 |
| Sorhan | win7 sees all, winvista sees all, but this only see's the vista | 07:19 |
| Sorhan | even winxp sees everything except this one 'cause this was the winxp | 07:20 |
| nixjr | im trying to change file permissions in the gui, every time i uncheck a box, it automatically re-checks itself straight away, why? | 07:20 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: both win machines are on the same workgroup? | 07:20 |
| Sorhan | yup | 07:20 |
| almoxarife | uhmmmmmmmmmm | 07:20 |
| Sorhan | have watched movies saved to win7 on the vista machine and another winy7 | 07:20 |
| rewt | Awesome3000, how do you do that? i have a win7 that can't be seen by xp, but direct connect to \\win7pc\blah still works | 07:20 |
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan are the subnet-masks the same | 07:21 |
| EastDallas | almoxarife: I'm not able to find the link, but it also sounds like a different problem. I couldn't shutdown or suspend, and if I remember correctly, I think this fix has already been released via updates. You may want to search bugs or file a new one at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager. Sorry I wasn't of more help. :( | 07:21 |
| Sorhan | rewt, change your workgroup on the xp machine | 07:21 |
| rewt | same workgroup | 07:21 |
| Sorhan | i can ping the win7 machine from terminal, so I'm going to say yes | 07:21 |
| ralsheb | must i run any commands after updating grubs menu.lst file>? i update it but they dont seem to take effect (ex- i put the timeout to 20 line and the hiden menu one, menu doesn't show up at all still even after hitting esc) | 07:21 |
| almoxarife | EastDallas: thanks for the help | 07:21 |
| Sorhan | rewt, triple check, Win7 defaults to "homegroup" | 07:22 |
| Awesome3000 | ralsheb Those lines arn't commented | 07:22 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: the win7 machine sees the ubuntu machine? | 07:22 |
| Sorhan | 99% sure, let me triple check | 07:22 |
| cjae | ok how come I had to register my nick to join? | 07:22 |
| Awesome3000 | cjae hackers | 07:23 |
| cjae | cant even remember my questions now | 07:23 |
| cjae | ahh i see | 07:23 |
| cjae | anti ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| soreau | cjae: Someone has been attacking freenode | 07:23 |
| Sorhan | frack ... i see the problem now .... win7 doesn't seem to wanna belong to the workgroup ... it isn't seeing anything | 07:23 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: ahhhhhhhhhh | 07:24 |
| Sorhan | ... someone set a password on the "homegroup" ... so i can see the "workgroup" on the WinVista ... | 07:24 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: the win7 defaults to public I think, needs to run private | 07:25 |
| Sorhan | almoxarife, that should all be setup correctly, I **HAD** it working ... | 07:25 |
| nixjr | im trying to change file permissions in the gui, every time i uncheck a box, it automatically re-checks itself straight away, why? | 07:25 |
| sid | I just installed ubuntu, and my sound doesn't work. everything works, Wifi, video, etc.. just not sound. not sure why. I have the volume up all the way. | 07:25 |
| Sorhan | trying to figure out how to tell it to browse a password protected workgroup now .... lol | 07:26 |
| Respatix_ | what do I type to go to my souce list | 07:26 |
| Sorhan | or to remove pass on workgroup | 07:26 |
| === Ovidiu is now known as _Ovidiu | ||
| sid | What do I do to test it? | 07:26 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: the workgroup password for the win7 should be your login password | 07:26 |
| ralsheb | awesome3000: right, they aren't commented , so c hanging them should affect things..? | 07:26 |
| * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now | 07:26 | |
| almoxarife | on the win7 | 07:26 |
| Awesome3000 | ralsheb Yeah | 07:27 |
| T0mRiddle | Hi, just installed kubuntu and I need to know what the default kernel line is in grub, kernel /boot line, it was i386 Alternative, thanks | 07:27 |
| Sorhan | almoxarife, there's two pwds ... one to join group, one to access shares ... no username on group | 07:27 |
| Awesome3000 | ralsheb I never even run the command | 07:27 |
| Sorhan | why M$ has to make it so blasted hard to share stuff, i have no flaming idea | 07:27 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: we are talking win now? | 07:27 |
| Awesome3000 | ralsheb Have you maybe updated grub and are editing the wrong number | 07:27 |
| Awesome3000 | ralsheb not number file :D | 07:28 |
| Sorhan | not yet ... still can't browse the Vista machine ... | 07:28 |
| Sorhan | i think i should just teach wifey how to use *nix ... | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | !grub2 | ralsheb | 07:29 |
| ubottu | ralsheb: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:29 |
| T0mRiddle | kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash vga=791, does this look right? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: vga= has been depricated | 07:29 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: from the ubuntu machine standpoint, it sees one of the win machines? | 07:29 |
| Sorhan | yup | 07:29 |
| brandon- | i posted a ss of my desktop and it seemed darker than it actually is | 07:29 |
| brandon- | how do i adjust brightness? | 07:29 |
| Awesome3000 | brandon- desktop or image | 07:30 |
| nascentmind | hi. I am using the free ati drivers but in my xorg.conf i am seeing lines in Section Monitor Identifier as aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0. is it right? | 07:30 |
| brandon- | desktop | 07:30 |
| Sorhan | win7 sees ubuntu machine on network, just not in homegroup | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: In grub2 you should just add a line with "gfxpayload=1600x1200" ( or whatever resolution you want ) | 07:30 |
| KOT_09 | #ubuntu-ru. | 07:30 |
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan I don't think Samba does Homegroup hence the old sharing | 07:31 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: does it matter what group? you can change the workgroup in samba,conf to anything you would like | 07:31 |
| Sorhan | *mumble* gotta be easier way to do this ... | 07:31 |
| T0mRiddle | Dude, I need the kernel line that kubuntu i386 alternative puts in there, I have grub installed on another partition for another distro and I can load it, but I can't access the Kubuntu ext4 partition with it | 07:31 |
| T0mRiddle | Unless the alternative i386 has a live console mode, or a way to just reinstall grub | 07:31 |
| Sorhan | honestly, I don't want diddly shared through a "workgroup" or "homegroup" xbox can't browse that way | 07:31 |
| Sorhan | honestly i want my simple file sharing back! lol | 07:32 |
| kinja-sheep | Sorhan: Just set a group where all machines will have same group name. I use LAN myself to make things simple. | 07:32 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: have you set up file sharing in ubuntu? | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: Just remove the vga=791, it's not there by default and if you don't know what it is you don't need it | 07:32 |
| lightbricko | I need to enable support for the swedish language in OpenOffice documents, but I still want the UI in English. What package should I install? I found the following, is that the one? "language-support-sv" | 07:32 |
| Sorhan | almo, I have zero idea, i just started using this like a week ago | 07:32 |
| kinja-sheep | Sorhan: I don't think Xbox can use Samba to read files. It uses UPnP. | 07:33 |
| Sorhan | Xbox can browse network for simple file shares | 07:33 |
| T0mRiddle | Jordan, that was an example from the internet of the line I need | 07:33 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: file sharing or folder sharing, same thing, do you have a folder in ubuntu that is shared by the network? | 07:34 |
| Sorhan | almo, only if one is shared by default | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: The rest looks right ( though Ubuntu uses root=UUID=7850595e-e0f7-422f-b723-faf2fd6cd8e0 for temporary purposes root=/dev/sda1 should work fine as long as it's the right device ) | 07:34 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: no, I don't think you are sharing anything on the ubuntu | 07:35 |
| Sorhan | almo, probably not ... even if there's a folder shared, there's nothing in it | 07:35 |
| brandon- | can anyone tell me how to make a menu in gnome that just shows places | 07:35 |
| brandon- | i did it relatively easily in XFCE | 07:35 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: what is the end game here? having the xbox see all the machines? | 07:35 |
| mneptok | Sorhan: what is the goal? to get media from the PC to an XBox? | 07:35 |
| brandon- | but i just switched back to gnome and would like to do it | 07:35 |
| T0mRiddle | kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash <=- That looks like the correct kernel for the newest Kubunutu as well? | 07:35 |
| almoxarife | mneptok: :) | 07:35 |
| Sorhan | almo, end game is to be able to watch movies from both ubuntu and xbox | 07:36 |
| Sorhan | ubuntu on laptop, not much hdd space for movies ;) | 07:36 |
| brandon- | use XBMC | 07:36 |
| brandon- | its best app for xbox | 07:36 |
| mneptok | Sorhan: look at XBMC, MediaTomb, or some other media server software | 07:36 |
| brandon- | you dont need a server with XBMC | 07:36 |
| brandon- | just samba sharing | 07:36 |
| Sorhan | don't care if xbox sees ubuntu, just want ubuntu to see win7 | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: No | 07:36 |
| brandon- | anyone know how to make a places menu | 07:36 |
| brandon- | with gnome | 07:36 |
| Sorhan | win7 is the server, everything else just a client | 07:36 |
| T0mRiddle | If I could access the partition I could find out, these ext4's aren't very backwards compatible | 07:37 |
| john | ubuntu 9.10 no sound HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR | 07:37 |
| kinja-sheep | brandon-: What do you mean by places menu? You want to add folders? | 07:37 |
| john | How can I fix my sound? | 07:37 |
| john | just did a fresh install | 07:37 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: ok, create a folder on the desktop of ubuntu, then right click and set it to share | 07:37 |
| === john is now known as Guest20887 | ||
| brandon- | kinja-sheep, i mean like by default it has Main Places and System or whatever | 07:37 |
| brandon- | i want it to be just Places | 07:37 |
| brandon- | as a seperate menu | 07:37 |
| T0mRiddle | Jordan, do you know what it is suppose to be? | 07:38 |
| brandon- | xfce has a plugin for it to dl via synaptic | 07:38 |
| brandon- | but i dont see one for gnome | 07:38 |
| kinja-sheep | brandon-: I don't believe that is possible because nobody make an applet for that one. | 07:38 |
| brandon- | :( | 07:38 |
| Koterpillar | How do I debug - or just see the whole of - kernel panic trace if i don't have a serial port? | 07:38 |
| brandon- | i guess ill switch back to xfce then | 07:38 |
| brandon- | it seems to have gnome beat | 07:38 |
| brandon- | in alot of way | 07:38 |
| Sorhan | almo, done | 07:38 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: sharing is on? | 07:38 |
| Sorhan | should be | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: You can use tab completion in grub to be sure you have the right file, I think it should be /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.17.30 | 07:39 |
| kinja-sheep | brandon-: You use it for netbook? | 07:39 |
| brandon- | nou, desktop | 07:39 |
| === _Ovidiu is now known as Ovidiu | ||
| Jordan_U | T0mRiddle: Sorry, /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic | 07:39 |

| Sorhan | ok... | 07:39 |

| T0mRiddle | initrd /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic <=- Need this line too Jordan? | 07:42 |
| Sorhan | everything should be public share | 07:42 |
| almoxarife | Sorhan: ok | 07:42 |

| Jordan_U | Brandon: No, it won't hurt | 08:06 |
| Brandon | well the HDD had stuff on it but I figured installing would format it anyways for me so I asn't worried about data loss | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | Brandon: How much RAM does that computer have? | 08:06 |
| Brandon | 3X 256mb | 08:07 |
| max1234 | I downloaded and extracted transset-df, and it says I have to compile it from source, how do I do this? | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | Brandon: Ok, then that wasn't the problem | 08:07 |
| Brandon | single core I think 2.4ghz | 08:07 |
| max1234 | tar xzvf transset-df-6.tar.gz | 08:07 |
| max1234 | cd transset-df-6 | 08:07 |
| max1234 | make | 08:07 |
| max1234 | sudo checkinstall | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | Brandon: If it fails again try the alternate install CD | 08:08 |
| puneeth | hey, i have a Pentium 4 processor. i'm keen on installing ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop by downloading one of the torrent available on the site... which option should i select? | 08:09 |
| dandaman | so i just upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04, when i scroll in firefox it gets choppy and i cant have basic and advanced visual effects because it wont load them, im guessing i need to reinstall my graphics drivers | 08:09 |
| JimmyJ | It depends, some P4's support 64 bit, some don't. | 08:09 |
| dandaman | in which case, is ubuntu 9.10 linux x86 or linux x86_64? | 08:09 |

| kinja-sheep | dandaman: "uname -m" | 08:10 |
| Jordan_U | dandaman: How did you install your graphics drivers originally? | 08:10 |

| dandaman | i dont even know how to activate the driver :( | 08:13 |

| dandaman | there is no button to activate it | 08:13 |

| ubottu | Brandon: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 08:14 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: at some point you would've gotten an icon on the top panel that looks like a little video card, and you clicked on it and activated this driver. | 08:14 |
| papul|reading | aww man | 08:14 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: have you restarted since then | 08:14 |
| dandaman | i never got any icon like that | 08:14 |

| tasslehoff | I have removed virtualbox-ose, but still I have /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose. can't be right? | 08:39 |
| rakista | Have you tried multiple browsers ? | 08:39 |
| Trebesan | im currently running kubuntu, but i had this same issue with ubunutu"s firefox last night | 08:40 |
| rocket | how i can add mime type for me own ext then file command can detect the right ext i am already add the ext to /etc/mime.types is reboot required | 08:40 |
| Trebesan | kubuntu uses.... Konquere | 08:40 |
| infid | drellok: thanks. it says 'NVIDIA GPU GeForce 9500 GT (G96)', which is my video gard, but when i go to 'hardware drivers' it shows 2 drivers, the one currently in use is version 173 and the one not in use is 185 (recommended). should i switch to 185? | 08:41 |
| Trebesan | and i can make it wired. and it runs just fine wired. but where i intend on putting this PC it has to be wireless.. | 08:41 |
| rakista | what happens if you type the ip address in the browser like this http://216.239.51.99 | 08:41 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: if you have any problems with my icon tutorial, please let me know so I can update it. | 08:41 |

| ardchoille | ok | 08:41 |
| Trebesan | connection to the server refused | 08:41 |
| rakista | 185 has a lot more acceleration | 08:42 |
| UbuntuN00B | if my 9.10 keeps freezing would it be a good idea to try and install 9.04 and then upgrade to 9.10 if say 9.04 actually will install. | 08:42 |
| evaro | How can i connect to a remote desktop | 08:42 |
| drellok | infid, I think 185 would be better | 08:43 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: did you try reinstalling the driver from the ati website? | 08:43 |
| rakista | sorry wrong ip try this one http://69.147.76.15 | 08:43 |
| dandaman | EastDallas: thats the one i've been using | 08:43 |
| dandaman | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/9.4 | 08:43 |
| infid | ok | 08:43 |
| dandaman | that scares me though | 08:43 |
| dandaman | because my card is 4850 | 08:43 |
| cvbrg | evaro: ssh username @ip | 08:43 |
| Trebesan | same thing, connection refused | 08:43 |
| a2f | hey hey i have an issue... i can't access localhost:8080/sabnzbd on chromium but i can in firefox... any idea why? | 08:43 |
| dandaman | and it says that x850 has been moved to the legacy software support structure | 08:43 |
| rakista | 9.04 is a lot more stable, is there some feature of 9.10 you need right now ? | 08:44 |
| disappearedng | 9.10 is nicer | 08:44 |
| disappearedng | significantly | 08:44 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: I came back to tell you your card was still supported. That x is not like x86 | 08:44 |
| Trebesan | rakista. i cant even connect to my routers config page. 192.168.1.1 | 08:44 |
| UbuntuN00B | no I just want to install ubuntu in general but 9.10 keeps freezing at 98% every time | 08:44 |
| evaro | cvbrg: thanks | 08:44 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: the 4850 is still supported | 08:45 |
| dandaman | EastDallas: ok im installing with --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic this time | 08:45 |
| dandaman | we'll see it it works | 08:45 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: although my experience with ati is that graphics performance gets worse with every upgrade of ubuntu. | 08:45 |
| rakista | Tre you may have a driver issue with WPA 2 working, try to change your router to WPA 1, but first try your router with no security and see if that works | 08:46 |
| dandaman | haha | 08:46 |
| funtgy | forgot to say thanks to whoever told me how to do that? | 08:46 |
| funtgy | bye | 08:46 |
| sangho | bye | 08:46 |
| DiaNouS | hi at all can i have help about my ubuntu 8.04 ? | 08:46 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: I switched to nvidia card after upgrding to karmic...I had one of the cards in that list you posted | 08:46 |
| rakista | If it works without security that means your auth portion of your drivers are pasing malformed packets | 08:46 |
| Trebesan | ....its on WEP. | 08:46 |
| Trebesan | and i know, WEP is horrible. | 08:46 |
| dandaman | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_drivers_manually | 08:46 |
| rakista | Try no security at all | 08:46 |

| UbuntuN00B | Im downloading 9.04 desktop 32bit iso will this after getting updates be able to be upgraded to 9.10? | 08:48 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: you might want to try opening a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:49 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: then reboot | 08:49 |
| dandaman | k ill try that | 08:49 |
| infid | drellok: ok i activated 185 but i still can't get any compiz effects to happen. i have a brand new nvidia 9500GT 1GB video card and i set affects like Wobbly Windows and stuff and they arent working | 08:49 |
| EastDallas | dandaman: if it's the same driver version you've already got | 08:49 |
| cvbrg | is there any way to control power going to USB ports | 08:49 |
| dandaman | rebooting | 08:49 |
| mamy | hey guys what is the command to check port on ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| DiaNouS | every time i insert my usb pens, it says me it's impossible to mount devices, so i have to do in the konsole two commands: dmesg | grep tail and after mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; next i have to take off the pen and reinsert it and then pc reads it. there is a way to bypass these commands ?? | 08:51 |
| cvbrg | i need to control some USB lights based on some parameters | 08:51 |
| drellok | infid: check if composite is enabled: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Composite | 08:51 |

| infid | drellok that said '(II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is' | 08:52 |

| drellok | infid, ok please paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin | 08:53 |
| Trebesan | rakista: i can | 08:53 |
| Trebesan | rakista: i can't get it to work either | 08:54 |
| DiaNouS | anyone there?? | 08:54 |
| EastDallas | cvbrg: have you tried a programming channel for help on that? | 08:54 |
| cvbrg | no | 08:54 |
| drellok | DiaNouS: what does dmesg | tail say? | 08:55 |
| rakista | you have two options, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html or buy a new wireless usb stick | 08:55 |
| DiaNouS | nothing! dmesg | grep tail is the command | 08:55 |
| Trebesan | i bought this one... because the old one wasnt working | 08:56 |
| Trebesan | -_- | 08:56 |
| Trebesan | the strange part is i can ping | 08:56 |

| infid | drellok i just realized i had system>preferences>appearances>visual effects set to 'none' but when i hit 'extra' it says 'The composite extension is not available' | 08:58 |
| drellok | infid: ok, you can try to add Option "Composite" "Enable" to your xorg.conf section extensions | 08:59 |
| UbuntuN00B | I tried to install Unbunto 9.10 and all I get is tons or random text rapidly scrolling on my screen. | 08:59 |
| UbuntuN00B | its just a blank black dos looking screen with tons of random scrolling text | 09:00 |
| UbuntuN00B | anyone seen this before? | 09:01 |
| brandon- | anyone know of a script or app for xchat or just ubuntu that lets me mouseover a url to a picture | 09:01 |
| vinceman | my video0 is gone from my /dev dir, how can that be? my webcam is connected to my PC! | 09:01 |
| brandon- | and shows the picture instead of needing to load laggy ass firefox just to see a pic | 09:02 |
| UbuntuN00B | I'm really frustrated and I'm trying to be as calm as possible but its like I can't install Ubuntu at all no matter how I go about it I need some help. | 09:04 |
| infid | drellok ok i did that and restarted gdm but it's still not showing effects or letting me select 'Extra' from visual effects preference | 09:04 |
| EastDallas | brandon-: There's this app called Chrome | 09:04 |
| EastDallas | :p | 09:04 |
| brandon- | and it lets me move my mouse of urls in xchat and displays them instantly? | 09:04 |
| linleycaetan1 | ubuntunoob- what is your hardware? | 09:04 |
| drellok | infid: paste your Xorg.0.log | 09:05 |
| brandon- | or are you referring to that shitty web browser that fails in comparison to firefox | 09:05 |
| EastDallas | brandon-: that's a joke. Chrome web browser is not laggy | 09:05 |
| duncan-nz | Hello everyone. New Question: I'm trying to move my Karmic installation to a different hdd with rsync. I've mounted the destination as /home/duncan/destination. Does this command look right? '$ rsync -rp / destination' | 09:05 |
| brandon- | neither is firefox reall,y just takes a sec to load | 09:05 |
| brandon- | and when i just wanna see an image | 09:05 |
| brandon- | id rathernot have to load a browser at all | 09:05 |
| EastDallas | brandon-: I love firefox, but you're right, it's slow as hell...chromium isn't | 09:05 |
| UbuntuN00B | amd 2400+ cpu, I think 256gpu nvidia not sure, 3 sticks of 256mb ram. | 09:05 |
| dsl_ | when i open a text file on a windows share (mounted under /media) then try to save I get a big red bar at the top of gedit telling me it couldn't find the file! If I cancel out and then re-open the file i find that it has saved the changes anyway. Can anyone suggest what's wrong please? | 09:05 |
| linleycaetan1 | firefox + extensions rocks! | 09:06 |
| llutz | duncan-nz: use -x because yuo don't want /dev /proc /sys been copied | 09:06 |
| EastDallas | linleycaetan1: you know chromium has extensions now? | 09:06 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, i'll just look that up. | 09:06 |
| llutz | duncan-nz: rsync -ax / /dest | 09:06 |
| linleycaetan1 | No, but will my ff extensions be ported? | 09:06 |
| xgpt | hello | 09:07 |
| jonzbcc | hi I'm trying to write this quick/dirty script to add up numbers (one per line) out of a list -- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356456/ -- however, I get the command seen on that paste, any idea what's wrong with how I'm passing sed in via bash? | 09:07 |
| EastDallas | linleycaetan1: there are some same/equivalent extensions, but not nearly the number there are for FF....and they aren't interchangeable | 09:07 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, don't I need the -p to preserve permissions? | 09:07 |
| jonzbcc | ps -- it had worked up until I wrote: $line=$line + $hour | 09:08 |
| UbuntuN00B | now I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 again and I get text dwon my screen and every line starts with [ | 09:09 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, ah, so -x also preserves the permission. Correct? | 09:09 |
| * EastDallas gets worried when he gives somebody advice and tells them to reboot and they are gone for half an hour... | 09:09 | |
| jonzbcc | UbuntuN00B: am I stepping into the middle of a conversation? or is this the first line you've written here? | 09:10 |
| llutz | duncan-nz: pls read man rsync for explanation, -a archive = rptgo... | 09:10 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, I'm trying, but it's an unusually long manual! | 09:10 |
| infid | drellok: ok http://pastebin.com/d59c59ee0 | 09:10 |
| infid | er wait | 09:10 |
| infid | drellok: ok http://pastebin.com/d50c59ee0 | 09:11 |

| duncan-nz | llutz, so it looks like just -a will do the trick. I guess I'll give it a try and see if I can boot into it. | 09:16 |
| drellok | infid: try to run ccsm from the console, it should ouput the error message when enabling effects | 09:16 |
| dsl_ | anyone help with my question up there re gedit please? I just edited it using nano from a terminal and all was fine but users don't want to do that ;) | 09:18 |
| === kmdm_ is now known as kmdm | ||
| infid | drellok: sudo ccsm said 'Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Loading icons... | 09:20 |
| infid | that's it | 09:21 |
| git__ | dsl_, your smb connection probably got dropped AFTER you save the file | 09:21 |
| EastDallas | dsl_: try launching gedit from a terminal and see if you get a more detailed error message in the terminal. | 09:22 |
| git__ | dsl_, there's an autosave feature in gedit | 09:22 |
| git__ | which attempts to save every 10 minutes, thus, when it tries to save, it couldn't find the file | 09:22 |
| git__ | gedit creates a backup file with prefix ~[filename] | 09:22 |
| drellok | infid: does it happen when you enabled enabled effects or just launch ccsm? | 09:23 |
| infid | drellok just on launch | 09:23 |
| UbuntuN00B | so since 9.10 didn't work I made a 9.04 CD and now I try and install it and I get "crc error --System halted" | 09:23 |
| git__ | i wish i had not upgraded to 9.10 | 09:23 |
| UbuntuN00B | why can't any version install? wtf grrr | 09:24 |
| infid | drellok but now when i click 'Extra' from the Apperances preference it still says 'the composite extension is not available' | 09:25 |
| dsl_ | turned autosave and backups off. it's not samba, the connection is fine - it happens every time i try to save. trying from command line | 09:25 |
| ghostcube | UbuntuN00B: crc error seems to be an burning problem with your cd | 09:25 |
| drellok | infid, ok so please paste your xorg.conf | 09:25 |
| ghostcube | UbuntuN00B: why didnt 9.10 work | 09:26 |
| infid | drellok i did | 09:26 |
| infid | drellok: http://pastebin.com/d50c59ee0 | 09:26 |
| infid | doh | 09:26 |
| infid | sorry you meant xorg.conf, one sec | 09:26 |
| UbuntuN00B | no idea | 09:26 |
| rakista | CRC error usually means a bad burn ] | 09:26 |
| UbuntuN00B | it just frezzes at 98% | 09:27 |
| rakista | Try burning at a lower speed like 4x | 09:27 |
| UbuntuN00B | k i'll retry burning the iso image | 09:27 |
| git__ | do a crc check on the iso before u burn | 09:27 |
| rakista | Do you have a USB sticvk, they are more reliable | 09:28 |
| dsl_ | running gedit from command line is no different and still does the same thing i.e. tells me it can't find the file (that it has open) to save but when I quit if find the file has been saved. If i edit with nano from a terminal all is fine | 09:28 |
| infid | drellok: http://pastebin.com/d1abfa156 | 09:28 |
| EastDallas | dsl_: do you get a more descriptive error in the terminal? | 09:28 |
| ^paradox^ | im having a problem with pidgin. it wont let me log into my icq account in it. it gives me this message > Received unexpected response from http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession | 09:28 |

| UbuntuN00B | do i have a usb stick? | 09:29 |
| dsl_ | no nothing | 09:29 |
| ^paradox^ | can anyone help? | 09:29 |
| dsl_ | EastDallas: the only error msg is in gedit itself | 09:29 |
| llutz | ^paradox^: ask icq (usually that mean they changed protocol to exclude free cilents) | 09:29 |
| dsl_ | rakista: no | 09:29 |
| rakista | paradox can you login with other clients into that icq account ? | 09:29 |
| rakista | try running gedit as root | 09:30 |

| ^paradox^ | but i dont understand. i never paid a cent for icq original client on windows | 09:37 |

| infid | drellok and running ccsm from a terminal and Xorg.0.log don't say anything new | 09:38 |
| ivanatora | there is nothing more in that folder: only files 'ivanatora' and 'root' | 09:38 |
| ivanatora | oooh root may have new messages... | 09:38 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, no, but I don't know if they are used somewhere in the installation. Honestly I don't know what makes a link 'hard', I'll look that up. But I'm wondering if they can be part of something in Ubuntu. | 09:39 |
| ^paradox^ | llutz: i guess ive got a lot to learn about the software world | 09:39 |
| rakista | sudo alpine | 09:39 |
| ivanatora | yep, cron reports | 09:39 |
| ivanatora | but why user ivanatora gets notified for root's mail | 09:39 |
| llutz | ivanatora: setup an alias, root shouldn't read mails at all | 09:39 |
| dsl_ | right. the issue is definitly with gedit | 09:39 |
| ivanatora | sure thing, I'll do it | 09:39 |
| rakista | I think ubuntu pushes root mail notifications to admins | 09:39 |
| EastDallas | Xeross_: will it not launch if you just put the whole path in the laucher? i.e. /usr/bin/app/appname | 09:40 |

| EastDallas | dsl_: I found someone with the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1356014 | 09:40 |
| Xeross_ | EastDallas: Basically the GUI is complete except any text, and I think it's stored within a seperate file | 09:40 |
| EastDallas | Xeross_: maybe a bash script to change directory then launch | 09:41 |
| llutz | ^paradox^: yes, sometimes it might need some time to get errors fixed but most of those errors are serverside, you only can wait. | 09:41 |
| decolorante | Hello! | 09:41 |
| ^paradox^ | llutz: ok ty | 09:41 |
| llutz | ^paradox^: and if you haven't changed an application i.e. pidgin which was working before, it's most likely not your fault if things break | 09:41 |
| UbuntuN00B | 9.04 is installing lets pray this one works unlike 9.10 | 09:42 |
| ^paradox^ | llutz: nope. ive used pidgin from the start | 09:42 |
| decolorante | UbuntuN00B: ok, you answered the question that I didn't ask yet :) | 09:43 |
| dsl_ | EastDallas: thanks for that...not just me then! Whats the best alternative Gnome text editor? | 09:43 |
| ^paradox^ | well it was called something else when i first got ubuntu. but its the program. never installed uninstalled the thing | 09:43 |
| UbuntuN00B | what question? | 09:43 |
| EastDallas | dsl_: don't know....I use gedit! :p | 09:43 |

| ^paradox^ | that was strange | 09:45 |
| EastDallas | Xeross_: I don't know, no script guru here. If you make it executable does it still perform the functions like it was in a terminal window? Might be workth a try | 09:45 |
| Xeross_ | EastDallas: It will just launch /usr/bin/env sh or similar so it will just work | 09:46 |
| ^paradox^ | whats goin on with the floodbot? | 09:47 |
| drellok | infid: that's not so bad.. the blacklist check can be omitted.. what is the output of compiz --replace & | 09:47 |
| kinja-sheep | decolorante: I generally do backups and do clean installation rather than upgrading. The end results varies for everybody. You either could get a working system or a crippled system. | 09:47 |
| infid | drellok actually ~/.xsession_errors isnt saying anything about blacklisted | 09:47 |
| decolorante | kinja-sheep, I guess you are right. But, I think it won't hurt if for now I keep using Jaunty.. at least I hope | 09:47 |
| DrSyk | I have an Ubu 9.04 server and I'm trying to "apt-get upgrade" with cron. It's never worked, but I heard there's a better way to do automatic updates. Does anyone know how? | 09:48 |
| cjae | is the anyway to tell if a file I am trying to open with keepassx is actually something that can be opened with it e.g. myfile.pwm | 09:48 |
| kinja-sheep | decolorante: That is fine. And oh if you don't mind getting your hands dirty and waste couple of hours, then go for it. See what's new in Karmic. :) | 09:48 |
| ^paradox^ | llutz: thanks for ur time with the pidgin issue | 09:48 |
| infid | drellok that said a few things, namely 'Checking for Composite extension: not present. Aborting using fall back? /usr/bin/metacity and XLib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" | 09:48 |
| decolorante | kinja-sheep: Heh, that's why I'm tempted. I am missing all the new stuff. | 09:49 |

| llutz | brokendisk: if fdisk won't list that device, it isn't recognized and you cannot work on it | 09:56 |
| brokendisk | llutz: fdisk shuold list usb devices too? | 09:56 |
| llutz | brokendisk: sure, try "lsusb", is it listed there? | 09:56 |
| brokendisk | llutz: what did you mean before "plug in again, guessing might be harmfull" | 09:56 |

| octaveous | hi all, can anyone tell me how to customize splash screen on ubuntu live cd | 09:57 |
| brokendisk | llutz: ok just a sec | 09:57 |
| drellok | infid: cool :) | 09:57 |
| ^paradox^ | iflema: i appreciate it. i just need to simplify the process | 09:57 |
| infid | drellok: i really appreciate all your help and patience | 09:57 |
| infid | drellok now i can go to sleep in peace. thanks a ton :) | 09:57 |
| brokendisk | llutz: yes i think so it says cypress semiconductor usb 2 ATA stuff | 09:58 |
| llutz | brokendisk: "guessing" a device just won't work in best case, but it might do strange things to other devices in worst case. | 09:58 |
| drellok | infid: you're welcome | 09:58 |
| brokendisk | llutz: yeah thats what i mean, what did you mean plug in again? | 09:58 |
| UbuntuN00B | i think its working now | 09:58 |
| llutz | brokendisk: take usb-cable off, wait 10 seconds, plug it in again and try fdisk again | 09:59 |
| brokendisk | u think that works? | 09:59 |
| ^paradox^ | iflema: thats a good guide, but im not having problems with it | 09:59 |
| brokendisk | sounds like goblin voodo magic | 09:59 |
| UbuntuN00B | H3LL yes 9.04 is up and running :) thank you guys :) | 09:59 |

| EastDallas | octaveous: there's an application called remastersys for making custom liveCD | 10:00 |

| Xeross_ | I'm using a USB version of Ubuntu (Live Persistent) However when I enable the screensaver to lock my screen it doesnt lock it and I can just move the mouse to go back to the desktop | 10:00 |
| brokendisk | now it is there | 10:00 |
| llutz | brokendisk: in some cases the usb-drivers weren't loaded and no device is created. then this is the only workaround. | 10:00 |
| EastDallas | octaveous: it's not in the repositories, google it | 10:01 |
| iflema | ^paradox^ check out the two links in the second paragraph | 10:01 |
| brokendisk | llutz: isnt this kinda sucky? it shuold have been there before already | 10:01 |

| brokendisk | so i can start dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M | 10:02 |

| iflema | ^paradox^ vlc | 10:03 |
| Xeross_ | How can I fix it ? | 10:04 |
| kinja-sheep | ^paradox^: Few possibilities -- vlc, handbrake, ogmrip, ffmpeg | 10:04 |
| ^paradox^ | iflema: i can open flv in vlc but i seen no way to output it to a different format | 10:04 |
| ^paradox^ | kinja-sheep: these are converters? | 10:05 |
| brokendisk | llutz: it doesnt even have a security confirmation question | 10:05 |
| brokendisk | and it shows me no progreess | 10:05 |
| brokendisk | so what should i do | 10:05 |
| iflema | ^paradox^ me not sure but i guess you coulkd say a hidden feature of vlc is its ability to convert formats | 10:05 |
| CokeNCode | hey guys, anyone in here familiar with glype ? | 10:05 |
| llutz | brokendisk: why should it? unix commands never ask, they just do what you say | 10:06 |
| brokendisk | ok | 10:06 |
| brokendisk | and it shows no progress | 10:06 |
| brokendisk | i see nothing | 10:06 |
| iflema | ^paradox^ no guarentees but it may be an option | 10:06 |
| llutz | brokendisk: they asume you know what are you doing. send "killal -USR1 dd" on terminal, dd has no progressbar | 10:07 |
| brokendisk | llutz: but i dont want to kill it | 10:07 |
| llutz | brokendisk: USR1 won't kill it, it will force it to say, hi i'm xx% finished | 10:07 |
| brokendisk | ah great | 10:07 |
| brokendisk | why does it not say that by itself? | 10:07 |
| Xeross_ | My Persistent USB install sais there's no space left on the device, what do I have to do now ? | 10:07 |
| brokendisk | what does usr1 mean | 10:08 |
| ^paradox^ | iflema: brb | 10:08 |
| llutz | brokendisk: too busy :) no, no idea why theres no feature like that. write a feature-request to devs. USR1 is a signal which causes dd to answer (man 5 signal) | 10:08 |
| brokendisk | ok | 10:09 |

| brokendisk | llutz: and why is it called KILLall | 10:09 |
| brokendisk | killal | 10:09 |
| llutz | brokendisk: basically it is to kill apps, but can be used to send other signals to running apps | 10:10 |
| brokendisk | hm ok, strange | 10:10 |
| kinja-sheep | brokendisk: killall -- kill processes by name. | 10:10 |
| brokendisk | bad naming | 10:10 |
| kinja-sheep | brokendisk: Why is firefox called firefox? :\ | 10:10 |
| llutz | brokendisk: confusing, right | 10:10 |
| brokendisk | it should be called sendmsg and have an option KILL instead | 10:11 |
| ^paradox^ | i guess the thing thats tripping me up with ffmpeg is what settings to use. is there a default or standard that would give decent quality? | 10:11 |
| brokendisk | kinja-sheep: not the same thing | 10:11 |
| llutz | brokendisk: ln -s $(which killall) ~/bin/sendmsg :) | 10:11 |
| brokendisk | what does thta do? | 10:11 |
| llutz | brokendisk: gives you a "sendmsg" command | 10:12 |
| brokendisk | oh heh | 10:12 |
| brokendisk | it creates a link right | 10:12 |
| llutz | brokendisk: yes | 10:12 |
| brokendisk | another thing, the command to creat a link should not be called "ls" like "list" | 10:12 |
| brokendisk | but "cl" create link | 10:12 |
| ^paradox^ | im talking about to watch on the computer, not stream to an audience | 10:12 |
| llutz | brokendisk: it is ln, not ls | 10:12 |

| kinja-sheep | duncan-nz: Grub2 is new. | 10:18 |
| ardchoille | !grub2 | duncan-nz | 10:18 |
| ubottu | duncan-nz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 10:18 |

| ae86-drifter1 | i am installing ubuntu 9.10 fresh, there are two hard disks here, 120GB disk has windows vista which gparted picks up fine on the live cd, the other disk 500GB has 7 partitions, one for windows XP (ntfs) one FAT32 partition, one swap partition and two sets of / and two sets of /home, one for opensuse and one for mandriva, i want to wipe both opensuse and mandriva and put 9.10 on, but gparted is picking the whole 500GB disk as un | 10:19 |
| ae86-drifter1 | allocated, however i can browse each disk fine through the 'places' menu, any help would be appreciated | 10:19 |

| ardchoille | paprna: ctrl+alt+(l,r)arrow | 10:19 |

| brokendisk | usually pages of text fly by as if there was no tomorrow | 10:21 |

| Oasa | Leci : If you are from ubuntu then i have another choice | 10:22 |
| kinja-sheep | duncan-nz: I think you want to edit fstab, not grub2. I could be wrong though. | 10:23 |
| kinja-sheep | !fstab | duncan-nz | 10:23 |
| ubottu | duncan-nz: 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 | 10:23 |

| Oasa | Leci : Tell me if you need help on that. | 10:23 |
| duncan-nz | kinja-sheep, done that. okay i'll try and reboot and see if it works itself out. | 10:24 |
| One`` | Is there any way of seeing what kind of data is coming through the parallel port? | 10:24 |
| leci | oasa:that was to complicated | 10:24 |
| zhcfreesea | ivo: I recmmend u to use grub4dos | 10:24 |
| zhcfreesea | instead of grub | 10:24 |
| zhcfreesea | !gentoo | 10:24 |
| ubottu | Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) | 10:24 |
| duncan-nz | ivo, can i suggest you look at the gag bootloader: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ | 10:24 |
| ivo | is it a windows program ?? | 10:24 |
| DJones | ivo: I've not used win 7 so I wouldn't like to suggest anything as I don't know how the updates etc work on that | 10:25 |

| ae86-drifter1 | could someone tell me why gparted is picking up my HDD as fully unallocated? | 10:25 |
| brokendisk | why are there so many packeting systems and not just one | 10:25 |
| zhcfreesea | when u install ubuntu , do not use grub to write MBR | 10:25 |
| ardchoille | paprna: I answered that already, ctrl+alt+left,right arrow | 10:25 |
| brokendisk | it seems to be a trivial task to have a packet system | 10:25 |
| duncan-nz | papul, ctrl+alt+(arrow key) | 10:25 |
| brokendisk | just a bunch of files strung together | 10:25 |
| brokendisk | why wouild people invent more than one packet system | 10:25 |
| papul | ok | 10:25 |
| ardchoille | papul: ctrl+alt+left,right arrow | 10:25 |
| ivo | zhcfreesea, is it a windows program ? | 10:25 |
| brokendisk | its like inventing more than one fork | 10:25 |
| rww | brokendisk: it's like inventing more than one Linux distribution, which seems to happen rather often | 10:26 |
| kinja-sheep | brokendisk: There are more than one fork. | 10:26 |
| zhcfreesea | google it | 10:26 |
| rww | brokendisk: and, fyi, they're called "packaging" systems. | 10:26 |
| brokendisk | kinja-sheep: doubt it | 10:26 |
| ivo | duncan-nz, thank u for the url | 10:26 |
| brokendisk | ah | 10:26 |
| zhcfreesea | It's not hard to use | 10:26 |
| brokendisk | rww: and why are there so many | 10:26 |
| rww | brokendisk: because people keep making new ones | 10:26 |
| brokendisk | seems dumb, everythihg has to be maintained three times | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | or more | 10:27 |
| rww | brokendisk: this is correct. It's also a common thing in free software. | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | since thats the large part of owrk in a packet system | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | packeting system | 10:27 |
| ivo | zhcfreesea, ok I'll do that first | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | to maintain it and to keep it up to date | 10:27 |
| zhcfreesea | :) | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | and to offer regular updates to the users of the system | 10:27 |
| brokendisk | so i dont understand why people would do that | 10:28 |
| rww | brokendisk: because different package management systems and different distributions serve different audiences, and also probably partially the "not invented here" syndrome | 10:28 |
| kinja-sheep | brokendisk: It is called "progress" | 10:28 |
| rww | brokendisk: this is rather offtopic for an Ubuntu support channel, though; #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place for it. | 10:28 |
| brokendisk | what does this mean not invented here rww | 10:28 |
| brokendisk | kinja-sheep: i doubt it it s | 10:28 |
| Zencyde | Is there anyone having trouble getting on AIM with Pidgin? | 10:28 |

| brokendisk | ok rww | 10:29 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdX | 10:29 |

| rww | Zencyde: which version of Ubuntu? | 10:29 |
| rww | brokendisk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here | 10:29 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, could you please tell me what that does? | 10:29 |
| Zencyde | 9.10, rww. This problem JUST started happening. | 10:29 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: calls cfdisk, a partitioning-tool | 10:30 |
| brokendisk | interesting | 10:30 |
| brokendisk | i see rww | 10:30 |
| rww | Zencyde: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/506647 ; there appears to be a workaround there | 10:30 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: just make sure your drive isn' t mounted | 10:30 |
| Zencyde | Thanks, rww. That's my exact problem. | 10:30 |
| Zencyde | Is this happening to a lot of people? | 10:31 |
| brokendisk | rww: are you a social thingker | 10:31 |
| rww | Zencyde: specifically, turning off clientLogin (no, I don't know what that option does) in your AIM account preferences on Pidgin | 10:31 |
| rww | Zencyde: there have been a few people in here asking the last few days | 10:31 |
| CokeNCode | ok, i found the problem, i think i need to configure php properly on this system | 10:31 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, none of the drives are mounted, im on the live cd, and cfdisk returns FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3, but i can browse all files fine and use all 3 os installed on the disk! | 10:31 |
| Zencyde | Yeah, that fixed it. :) Thanks rww. Sucks to see this happening. | 10:31 |

| llutz | ae86-drifter1: fsck checks filesystems, not partitions | 10:35 |
| kinja-sheep | One``: If it is for ndiswrapper, you find it from your laptop's manufacturer website. | 10:35 |
| brokendisk | llutz: is it slow because of usb? | 10:35 |

| duncan-nz | llutz, but I can't get grub to appear at all. I use GAG and send it to the right partition (which I have marked as bootable) but gag doesn't seem to find anything to boot. | 10:35 |
| brokendisk | and llutz how could i determine the fastest rate | 10:35 |
| llutz | brokendisk: dd = slow, usb = slow, so dd on usb = hell | 10:35 |
| brokendisk | also, can i interrupt dd and change the bs? | 10:35 |
| duncan-nz | kinja-sheep, thanks i'll look at those | 10:35 |
| MrDudle | what exactly is ubuntu netbook remix? | 10:35 |
| brokendisk | i heard dd is fast | 10:35 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, i know that my question is how would i go about fixing this please?? | 10:35 |
| llutz | brokendisk: killall dd | 10:35 |
| brokendisk | llutz: that will kill it? | 10:36 |
| llutz | brokendisk: it should | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | llutz: i dont want to kill it and start all over | 10:36 |
| Guest23193 | hello i have problems with my keyboard logitech mx3000 , numpath and at sign for emails does not work can someone help me i had it fixes but i cannot find the right way ..................pls | 10:36 |
| duncan-nz | kinja-sheep, hold on, many of those probably won't work to move my install, or am I wrong? | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | llutz: also what is a better bloc kszie | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | blocksize | 10:36 |
| kuchi | ubuntu netbook remix (UNR) is a ubuntu version optimized for netbooks with fullscreen windows and low proccess cost window apps | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | bs | 10:36 |
| llutz | brokendisk: bs=4k seems to be best for me | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | will try that | 10:36 |
| brokendisk | so it will start all over?? | 10:37 |
| MrDudle | kuchi: thanks | 10:37 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: tools like testdisk, parted may help | 10:37 |
| brokendisk | or can i resume where i killed it | 10:37 |
| aglet | I am having a weird problem with my USB keyboard: caps & numlock are turning on by themselves, then scroll lock flashes. Every time I turn off numlock it turns back on again. Eventually scroll lock stops flashing, and I can control the caps/num lock status again. Any ideas? I'd be content to permanently disable numlock | 10:37 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, do i have another option besides becking up 124,496 files totalling 160GB and completely starting over? | 10:37 |
| duncan-nz | llutz, so how do I get into grub? can I run it in a terminal from another install? | 10:37 |
| ae86-drifter1 | okay llutz ill try | 10:37 |
| kinja-sheep | duncan-nz: If you want *everything*, perhaps you want Drive Imaging (in the earlier link). But for most cases, you should only backup your /home and /etc | 10:37 |
| vip | d | 10:37 |
| llutz | duncan-nz: the live-cd has a repair-grub-option i think | 10:37 |
| duncan-nz | kinja-sheep, i'm trying to move my whole installation, not do backup. | 10:38 |
| vick | Hello is it possible to during the mount to specify a certain user who can have permission to write to the mount point ? Eg. allowing user john to write a file to the mount point ? | 10:38 |
| kinja-sheep | duncan-nz: "Drive imaging is basically the copying of every byte of data within a certain section of a hard drive; be it just a partition or an entire drives contents." | 10:38 |
| kuchi | the grub thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 10:38 |
| llutz | vick: for non-unix-fs you can use uid/gid option | 10:38 |
| Gremnon | are there any tools like startupmanager for managing grub2 graphically? | 10:38 |
| ZjosH | how can i get my optical spdif output working on ubuntu 9.10, i can mess around with all values in the standard mixer, set the hardware to Digital Stereo (IEC958) output + analog stereo input. Tryed every option, no one is working... any ideas? | 10:39 |
| vick | llutz, By non-unix-fs you mean ext3, etc.. ? | 10:39 |
| llutz | vick: no, those are unix-fs | 10:39 |
| vick | llutz, I mean you mean non ext3, etc.. ? | 10:39 |
| kinja-sheep | duncan-nz: Still, do make backup so you won't be too concerned about your data. | 10:39 |
| llutz | vick: i mean vfat/ntfs | 10:39 |
| vick | llutz, What about for unix-fs then ? :D | 10:39 |
| llutz | vick: chown/chmod | 10:39 |
| duncan-nz | kinja-sheep, done that, good advice. | 10:40 |
| vick | llutz, Doesn't work... i do a chown john.john mountpoint, then ls -la gives root root again | 10:41 |
| llutz | vick: there is no such mount-option for unix-fs, you have to use chown or chmod to set apropriate rights. | 10:41 |
| llutz | vick: fs has to be mounted | 10:41 |
| vick | llutz, it is mounted,. | 10:42 |
| llutz | vick: sudo mount /dev/foo /mnt/bar; sudo chown -R john:john /mnt/bar | 10:42 |
| brokendisk | cool llutz | 10:42 |
| Gesi | hi | 10:42 |
| brokendisk | i timed it with time dd if=...... bs=4M and i got 130MB/s | 10:42 |
| vick | llutz, Yeah that doesn't work. I am not sure if it matters, but i am trying to mount a shared folder from a guest virtual machine (of the host virtual machine) | 10:43 |
| brokendisk | i tried bs=1, bs=10, bs=1K, bs=4096 etc | 10:43 |
| brokendisk | was all slow | 10:43 |
| brokendisk | but bs=4M makes it faster | 10:43 |
| brokendisk | thanks | 10:43 |
| llutz | vick: shared folder = smfs/nfs mount? | 10:43 |
| vick | llutz, no, it's a unix fs, it's an unbuntu host with ubuntu guest | 10:43 |
| DrSyk | hey, I'm copying a bunch of files in Ubu 9.04 from an ext3 to vfat filesystem. Somehow all caps files such as MSDOS.SYS get converted to lowercase, and this breaks my CRC checking scripts. WTF? | 10:44 |
| brokendisk | so i wouldnt say dd is slow llutz | 10:44 |
| Gremnon | are there any graphics tools yet, that allow grub2 to be managed graphically | 10:44 |
| llutz | brokendisk: "sometimes fast" | 10:44 |
| brokendisk | ok | 10:44 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, i parted picks up the same thing that gparted does... lol that makes total sense doesnt it? what did you exactly want me to try with parted? | 10:45 |
| kuchi | grub gui:http://www.ubuntugeek.com/startup-manager-change-settings-in-grub-grub2-and-usplash.html | 10:45 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: sorry, gpart i meant, not parted. typo | 10:45 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: but before messing with partitions you should make sure to have a fresh backup | 10:46 |
| ae86-drifter1 | llutz, if i have a total backup i may as well just start over again | 10:46 |
| ae86-drifter1 | wipe the whole drive | 10:47 |
| brokendisk | laters | 10:47 |
| ae86-drifter1 | my initial problem was that gparted didnt pick up my partitions... so how would it be useful? | 10:47 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter1: the partitiontable seems to be corrupted, you'll have to fix it before you can change anything | 10:47 |
| kuchi | ae86: fdisk ? | 10:48 |
| ae86-drifter1 | kuchi, what do i do with fdisk? | 10:48 |
| kuchi | fdisk -l does this print your part-tables? | 10:48 |
| kuchi | "fdisk -l" | 10:48 |
| ae86-drifter1 | yes, it prints them all fine | 10:49 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| ae86-drifter1 | and i can use nautilus to browse and also mount through cli and open files etc fine | 10:49 |
| kuchi | sure you start gparted as root? (sudo) | 10:49 |
| ae86-drifter1 | kuchi, yes | 10:50 |
| kuchi | ae86: i did'nt noticed the start of your problem...so what do you want to do with you rpartitions? | 10:51 |
| ae86-drifter1 | i want to wipe opensuse and mandriva partitions (5 in total) then install ubuntu | 10:51 |
| ae86-drifter1 | ill pastebin my fdisk partition table if you want? | 10:52 |
| kuchi | yes | 10:52 |

| ae86-drifter1 | kuchi, no im on the ubuntu live cd, my backup is about 25% now | 10:57 |
| ae86-drifter1 | kuchi, should i use fdisk to just delete all the linux partitions and leave windows there? thats where all my important files are, this shouldnt interfere at all with my data right? | 10:58 |
| kuchi | to delete all these partitions with fdisk is riski if you didn't know what you do so i would mak emy backups and restart to windows and delete thenm form there if there if no way to do it with gparted | 10:58 |
| ae86-drifter1 | kuchi, one min, ill risk it | 10:59 |
| kuchi | here is a good fdisk howto | 10:59 |
| ae86-drifter1 | with fdisk | 10:59 |
| Oasa | yes using fdisk is risk. I have experience | 10:59 |
| kuchi | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html | 10:59 |
| aglet | what piece of software in Ubuntu would automatically change the status of caps & num lock from time-to-time? mysteriously they turn on by themselves | 10:59 |
| Oasa | ae86: use gparted instead | 10:59 |
| kuchi | if you fail try it with: http://wubi-installer.org/ from the windows installation | 10:59 |
| ae86-drifter1 | ok wish me luck | 10:59 |
| kuchi | oasa gparted didn't work for him | 10:59 |
| Oasa | why? | 11:00 |
| ae86-drifter1 | Oasa, thats my isssue, i cant | 11:00 |
| kuchi | you can delete the partitions form windows ind install ubuntu with http://wubi-installer.org/ | 11:00 |
| Oasa | okay ae86 : all thhe best. | 11:00 |
| kuchi | good luck! | 11:00 |
| Oasa | kuchi : why not parted? | 11:01 |
| Oasa | ae86: try parted | 11:01 |
| ae86-drifter1 | Oasa, i have tried, it doesnt pick up my part table, only fdisk does, | 11:01 |
| Oasa | ae86: thats strange. | 11:01 |
| ae86-drifter1 | when i goto delete a partition, it says select part no (1-8) how do i know which number is my linux partitions? | 11:02 |

| bullgard | OerHeks: I am sorry but what do you mean by "Bluetooth dongle" and "Bluetooth build-in"? | 11:38 |

| nefast | ardchoille, yep. | 11:40 |

| iamleneko | hi, How can i get the system mail (mbox thing) from a mail client like thunderbird ? | 11:40 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: Dual core? | 11:41 |
| ardchoille | nefast: Are you running Ubuntu karmic? | 11:41 |
| nefast | Ah, yes. | 11:41 |
| nefast | Might that be the problem? | 11:41 |
| zvacet | silv3r_m00n: depends of ram | 11:41 |
| nefast | I should have mentioned that. | 11:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | kinja-sheep: intel i7 with 4gb ram | 11:41 |
| cHarNe2 | silv3r_m00n: depends, u want easy bake n' shake oven mode forever? | 11:41 |
| nefast | The tutorial is for 9.04? | 11:41 |
| ardchoille | nefast: not really, that tutorial works for Jaunty, hardy, karmic and a few others | 11:41 |
| bazhang | silv3r_m00n, if you get the 32bit then install linux-generic-pae to get all 4 GB | 11:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | cHarNe2: mostly web development and as fast as it can be | 11:41 |
| ardchoille | nefast: Sounds like you're missing a step or you have the wrong directory structure in ~/.icons | 11:42 |

| Trebesan | oof... | 11:42 |
| Gesi | can someone help | 11:42 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: 3GB. | 11:42 |
| cHarNe2 | silv3r_m00n: use 32bit, its safer w/ drivers and so on | 11:42 |
| bazhang | silv3r_m00n, its a package that will allow you to use all in 32bit | 11:42 |
| bazhang | silver, I have 4GB and use it with 32bit on a 64bit processor | 11:42 |
| zvacet | silv3r_m00n: you can install both because 32 bit version have pae kernal wutch will recognize all your ram | 11:42 |
| VirusTB | DOES UBUNTU | 11:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | hmm, by the way what's the difference in 32 and 64bit apart from longer integers | 11:43 |
| VirusTB | dose ubuntu only see 3GB of ram? | 11:43 |
| OerHeks | silv3r_m00n 4 gb -- 128 mb -- memory videocard | 11:43 |
| nefast | Hmm, /.icons/Humanity-Dark/24x24/places , that's where I placed my icon. | 11:43 |

| Trebesan | ive been trying to get this adapter to work for the past 6 hours -_- i seriously need to just sit down with someone and hash this out | 11:43 |
| kinja-sheep | VirusTB: If you're using 32bit and does have more than 3GB of ram. | 11:43 |
| DrSyk | Trebesan, paid support? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, depends if you have linux-generic-pae installed or not | 11:43 |
| Trebesan | how much does that run? | 11:43 |
| VirusTB | kingmanor, so I am limited to 3 GB ram on my macbook even though I have 4GB installed | 11:43 |
| drbobb | hello, I've got a problem with my cd/dvd not being auto mounted on the gnome desktop | 11:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | will 64bit bring any additional benefits ? | 11:44 |
| cHarNe2 | silv3r_m00n: only problem w/ 32bit is that u cant allocate all 4 gb | 11:44 |
| DrSyk | Trebesan, dunno. Check the ubuntu website <shrug> | 11:44 |
| VirusTB | bazhang, so how can i have it make use of AND see my system as 4GB ram? | 11:44 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: Faster encoding on DVD and whatnot. | 11:44 |
| silv3r_m00n | kinja-sheep: means ? | 11:44 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, install linux-generic-pae | 11:44 |
| Trebesan | DrSyk, how could i check if an adapter was mounted. | 11:44 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 11:45 |
| VirusTB | bazhang, sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae | 11:45 |
| drbobb | hello, automounting cd/dvd's on the gnome desktop stopped working for me, how do I fix it? | 11:45 |
| bazhang | VirusTB, yes | 11:45 |
| DrSyk | Trebesan, a network adapter? | 11:45 |
| Trebesan | yes | 11:45 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: I'd suggest amd64 (to take full advantage of your hardware) and I have all amd64 running on my laptop + 2 machines. | 11:45 |
| VirusTB | bazhang, ah ok... wel im playing with a LIVE cd so i'll note that down when im ready to install it on mu macbook | 11:45 |
| VirusTB | my* | 11:45 |
| DrSyk | I think you've mistaken me for a linux expert, but I'd suppose that the device should show up in /var/log/dmesg or under /dev. | 11:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | amd64 ? | 11:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | kinja-sheep: means the amd64 version of ubuntu ? | 11:46 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: Yes. | 11:46 |
| silv3r_m00n | the x86_64 ? | 11:46 |
| Trebesan | lol, im just asking anyone who will help at this point. | 11:46 |
| zvacet | silv3r_m00n: yes amd64 is name for 64 bit version | 11:47 |
| kinja-sheep | silv3r_m00n: Yes. | 11:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | oh | 11:47 |
| Oasa | Trebesan : What do you mean by an adapter is mounted ? | 11:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | that page recommends 64 bit ubuntu | 11:47 |
| silv3r_m00n | so all drivers would work fine like 32bit ? | 11:47 |
| Oasa | drbobb : gedit etc/fstab | 11:47 |

| Oasa | Rob215 yes | 11:50 |

| VirusTB | bazhang, i did Memtest already, i know how the processor / ram installed... audio works, video works, wifi works... what else should I be checking? | 11:51 |
| kinja-sheep | VirusTB: You can do the short version "sudo lshw -short > ~/Desktop/$(hostname).txt" | 11:51 |
| drbobb | Oasa: well but i still don't know why cd/dvd notification stopped working for me | 11:51 |

| kinja-sheep | VirusTB: Np. If you want the HTML version (long), just swap out -short with -html | 11:55 |
| drbobb | Oasa: i don't think that is the point | 11:56 |
| drbobb | I made no changes to my fstab, and what used to work suddenly stopped | 11:56 |

I also haven't discovered anything in the log files although I might have been checking the wrong ones. | 11:59 |

| kinja-sheep | kokozedman: Yes -- It is possible but why would you want to? You are better off using a usb stick and the usb hdd for media storage. | 12:28 |
| kokozedman | that is: the Ubuntu running on an external USB HDD | 12:28 |
| kokozedman | ok, i see | 12:28 |
| itsme19 | Malkavian: But when I go to Windows 7 in Grub computer restarts | 12:28 |

| kokozedman | what i want to do, is that i have a laptop | 12:29 |
| drbobb | hello, i need help with fixing automounting of cdroms on the gnome desktop, does anyone have a clue? | 12:29 |
| kokozedman | it is already filled with Windows | 12:29 |
| itsme19 | Oasa: Yes, I can see the Program files and My documents of Windows 7 | 12:29 |

| kinja-sheep | kokozedman: I see. | 12:30 |
| kokozedman | do you have experience on JMicron JM20337? | 12:30 |
| kokozedman | that is the SATA to USB adapter that i use | 12:30 |
| kokozedman | that is my main concern, because i'm not sure if Ubuntu has the proper module built-in for that to be used properly at boot time | 12:31 |
| tonsofpcs | kokozedman: most default setups do | 12:31 |
| drbobb | kokozedman: usb mass storage is in theory a standard and should work no matter who manufactured your controller | 12:32 |
| itsme19 | Oasa: Windows 7 is in 50 GB partition | 12:32 |
| Oasa | itsme19 : See if the grub have set the boot directory to windows 7 is | 12:32 |
| kinja-sheep | kokozedman: USB Stick == USB MassStorage. They are eerily same. If you're following !usb instructions, you can get it to run. | 12:32 |
| Oasa | correct | 12:32 |
| tonsofpcs | note that your bios needs to support booting as does your bootloader | 12:32 |

| intok | mine so how exactly can I update grub if I can't get ubuntu to boot from the install? the live cd works fine, just not installing via wubi | 12:34 |

| kinja-sheep | mine: ln -s /home/mine/Downloads /home/mine/Desktop/you | 13:01 |
| Talon1364 | whole buncha greek to me, guess im just not destined to try linux... lotsa stuff about apt-get and i cant even get on the net cause im wireless, i gotta get this wireless driver into my system somehow that i cant even boot | 13:01 |
| kinja-sheep | mine: Or you could right-click the folder and "Make Link" | 13:01 |
| silv3r_m00n | emil_: that page is missing , I checked already | 13:01 |
| itsme19 | Oasa: ok | 13:01 |
| Oasa | reinstall grub itsme19 | 13:01 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: set root=(hd0,5)? are you sure | 13:02 |
| mine | kinja-sheep: you mean the dir must be /home/mine/Desktop . | 13:02 |
| grawity | mine: The thing that makes symlinks confusing is that they don't link to a file or directory - they link to an arbitrary path. Your command links Desktop/you to Desktop/Download. | 13:02 |
| grawity | mine: Try this: cd Desktop; ln -s ../Dwonloads you | 13:02 |
| emil_ | silv3r_m00n, the list below says core 2 duo, intel pentium and celeron | 13:02 |

| emil_ | silv3r_m00n, it wont work with a i7 | 13:02 |
| itsme19 | Rob215: Yes that's fro Ubuntu and Ubuntu is working fine | 13:02 |
| silv3r_m00n | the shop owner said it wud | 13:03 |
| arand | theadmin: ah, ok, well then how does one reinstall grub2 then (I thought it would still be on grub4dos since that's what the documentation seemed to imply) | 13:03 |
| itsme19 | Rob215: Sorry I meant for | 13:03 |
| Talon1364 | i dont even know what went wrong to know where to start on this wiki site | 13:03 |
| emil_ | silv3r_m00n, he lied | 13:03 |
| drbobb | Oasa: It seems my problem is solved - the automounting problem | 13:03 |
| emil_ | silv3r_m00n, or didnt know what he was talking about | 13:03 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: What's the problem then | 13:03 |
| Oasa | drbobb : How ? | 13:03 |
| Oasa | drbobb : Letme know then | 13:04 |
| Oasa | ROB215 : his partition table is crrct he just want win 7 to work | 13:04 |
| itsme19 | Rob215: My windows is not working after installing Ubuntu 9.10 | 13:04 |
| drbobb | Oasa: looks like I was inserting a dvd in some weird (multisession?) format that the gnome tools don't support | 13:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | emil_: let me check | 13:04 |
| Oasa | lol not cdfs format ? | 13:04 |
| Rob215 | is the windows 7 menu with windows 7 and ubuntu working | 13:05 |
| mine | grawity:thank you but why i can't do it in ~/ | 13:05 |
| Oasa | which format anywats ? | 13:05 |
| drbobb | Oasa: when I insert some other disk, it works ok | 13:05 |
| theadmin | arand: Eh, whatever. WUBI is nice for windows installation, but meh, normal installs are ALWAYS better. | 13:05 |
| Oasa | drbobb : Okay. Nice error. | 13:05 |
| Talon1364 | So, i blew away SuSE for a distro that cant boot | 13:05 |
| Rob215 | itme19: is the windows 7 menu with windows 7 and ubuntu working or just the GRUB menu | 13:05 |
| Oasa | ROb215 : he can boot ubuntu but no win 7 | 13:06 |
| itsme19 | Rob215: I have the entry Windows 7 in Grub2 boot loader, but when I press enter. computer restarts | 13:06 |
| zvacet | Talon1364: is still grub problem | 13:06 |
| arand | itsme19: have tried running a " sudo update-grub " in ubuntu? | 13:06 |
| grawity | mine: I just explained. | 13:06 |
| cloudy | hello | 13:06 |
| theadmin | itsme19: Try running sudo update-grub2 | 13:06 |
| itsme19 | arand: Yes | 13:06 |
| theadmin | Hi, cloudy | 13:06 |
| cetanhota | what is required to make sure my wifi connects at boot? | 13:07 |
| Oasa | arand : thats his problem. He have done it | 13:07 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: not GRUB2! windows 7 loader menu | 13:07 |
| zvacet | ! hi | cloudy | 13:07 |
| ubottu | cloudy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 13:07 |
| itsme19 | theadmin: I tried that one too | 13:07 |
| Oasa | whats wrong with you rob215 ? | 13:07 |
| cloudy | hi ,zvacet~~ | 13:07 |
| Talon1364 | where did it go? should have got a menu or something? it just goes straight to winxp, no GRUB, no oldschool LILO no nothing just like grub doesnt exist. | 13:07 |
| drbobb | Oasa: I'm pretty ignorant about cd/dvd formats, but it seems this one has two sessions, one meant for PCs and the other for macs, and gnome gets confused | 13:07 |
| theadmin | itsme19: Bleh. Sorry, then I've no idea, something must be wrong with Windows. | 13:07 |
| mine | grawity: you mean we must cd the dir we want to build a ln ? | 13:07 |
| Oasa | okay drbobb | 13:07 |
| zvacet | Talon1364: try to reinstall grub maybe it will help | 13:08 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: not GRUB2! windows 7's bulit in loader menu! | 13:08 |
| itsme19 | theadmin: It was a Windows fresh install and it was't even connected to Internet | 13:08 |
| zvacet | !grub2 | Talon1364 | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Talon1364: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 13:08 |
| grawity | mine: Well, you could do 'ln -s ../Downloads Desktop/you' too. | 13:08 |
| emergion | mla | 13:08 |
| grawity | mine: The point is, the first argument must be relative to symlink's directory - not to the current one. | 13:08 |
| Talon1364 | it wants me to apt-get for an install method, i cant use the net in linux, i need some proprietary broadcom driver not included on the cd | 13:08 |
| theadmin | itsme19: No idea actually, but it is Windows' bootloader failing to start. So I don't think it's a Ubuntu/GRUB problem | 13:09 |
| intok | has anyone here ever installed via wubi? | 13:09 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: not GRUB2! windows 7's bulit in bootloader menu! | 13:09 |
| itsme19 | Rob215: I installed Ubuntu after installing Windows, so Windows loader is replaced by Grub | 13:09 |
| Rob215 | oh | 13:09 |
| theadmin | intok: I tried it someday, what is the problem | 13:09 |
| Talon1364 | i did the same thing itsme19, but grub dissapeared | 13:09 |
| mine | grawity: thanks | 13:09 |
| zvacet | Talon1364: if you know witch driver you need download it from windows and put on usb and install on ubuntu | 13:10 |
| itsme19 | theadmin: I installed Ubuntu after installing Windows, so Windows loader is replaced by Grub | 13:10 |
| Rob215 | itsme19: It should be the other way round | 13:10 |
| hearit_ | hello, all | 13:10 |
| Oasa | Rob215 : Thats not the problem | 13:10 |
| theadmin | itsme19: No, wrong, GRUB will replace windows bootloader in MBR, yes, but if you choose win7 there it will start the bootloader. | 13:10 |
| Talon1364 | i can install those into the live cd version? cause i cant boot my darn installed linux because grub obviously failed. | 13:10 |
| zvacet | itsme19: is it working? | 13:10 |
| mine | :~/Desktop$ ln -s /mnt/winxp/Documents and Settings/mine our .grawity: | 13:10 |
| Rob215 | 0asa: it is! | 13:10 |
| intok | theadmin clean installed xp machine, have tried 4 times to get ubuntu to boot after wubi claiming it has successfully installed but no joy | 13:11 |
| Oasa | ROb215 : NO! | 13:11 |
| itsme19 | zvacet: No | 13:11 |
| theadmin | intok: Does it appear in the menu? | 13:11 |
| Rob215 | 0asa: YES! lol! | 13:11 |
| mine | grawity: ~/Desktop$ ln -s /mnt/winxp/Documents and Settings/mine our . is it right | 13:11 |

| intok | theadmin start menu yes, at boot it goes directly into windows never shows anything like a grub prompt or anything | 13:12 |
| Ranakah | hi.. i need ipv6 module in ubuntu 9.11 | 13:12 |
| Ranakah | *9.10 | 13:12 |
| zvacet | itsme19: you can not boot windows or what | 13:12 |
| Ranakah | but when i do modprobe ipv6 i get this error | 13:12 |
| Oasa | Can some one please tell Rob215 that installing ubuntu after win7 is not the problem | 13:12 |
| theadmin | intok: Oh damn, then it did not install properly. I have some ideas, but it's too noisy here, can we switch into PM? | 13:13 |
| Ranakah | FATAL: Module ipv6 not found. | 13:13 |
| Talon1364 | how? that wiki you sent me to says its installed by default on 9.10, its got instructions for 9.04 | 13:13 |
| itsme19 | zvacet: I cannot boot Windows after installing ubuntu 9.10 | 13:13 |
| zvacet | Oasa: +1 | 13:13 |
| nastas | itsme19: you mean that boots directly in ubuntu? | 13:13 |
| intok | theadmin sure | 13:14 |
| Oasa | zvacet : + 1 means ? | 13:14 |
| itsme19 | nastas: Grub shows the option for Windows 7, when I choose it computer restarts | 13:14 |
| cvbrg | is there a way to control power to USB ports | 13:14 |
| zvacet | Oasa: I agree with you | 13:14 |
| Oasa | thank you zvacet | 13:14 |
| Rob215 | 0asa: No you don't understand, the GRUB2 menu should be after selecting Ubuntu in the Windows 7 bootloader | 13:14 |
| arand | itsme19: if windows is a priority you could reinstall the windows bootloader using a win boot disk and then use something like EasyBCD to make instead the windows boot loader boot into ubuntu... | 13:15 |
| Oasa | Thats what i told you itsme19 at first use other bootloader | 13:15 |
| Rob215 | And Windows 7 bootloader gaves the option Windows 7 | 13:15 |
| zvacet | Rob215: grub will overwrite win bootloader | 13:15 |
| cvbrg | USB power control | 13:16 |
| arand | Rob215: he is not using Wubi here. | 13:16 |
| itsme19 | Oasa: Yes, I think that's the only choice | 13:16 |
| Rob215 | arand: oh | 13:16 |

| epinky | diddy:"sudo dpkg -l | grep -i java" or jre or jdk instead of 'java' | 13:24 |
| mamy | Zvacet ok let me try | 13:24 |

| progre55 | hi guys! how do you check if my comp is 32 or 64 bits on ubuntu? | 14:07 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | progre55, uname -a | 14:08 |

| Supersaiyan_IV | KaffeeJunky123, since you know better then provide the correct command | 14:11 |
| progre55 | erUSUL: just wanted to check if my cpu was 64 | 14:11 |

| KaffeeJunky123 | Supersaiyan_IV: cat /proc/cpinfo should do the trick ;) | 14:11 |
| erUSUL | progre55: if you see a red lm in the output your cpu is 64 bits | 14:11 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | Supersaiyan_IV: you can tell if your cpu is 32 or 64bit by the name of the processor | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | d3x0r: better how? faster? | 14:12 |
| progre55 | erUSUL: oh I see, then my cpu is 64, but my ubuntu is 32 then. | 14:13 |
| hattoricaca1 | Supersaiyan_IV, KaffeeJunky123: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | progre55: ok | 14:13 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | hattoricaca1: oh yeah my bad I made a typo :O | 14:13 |
| hattoricaca1 | it will show a list of processor flags, if there's a "lm" flag, then the cpu is 64 bits | 14:14 |
| progre55 | thanks guys, appreciate | 14:14 |
| hattoricaca1 | erUSUL: that's a useful trick! (grep --color) didn't know it | 14:16 |

| Myrtti | Davedan: you can always search launchpad for ppa's, but with the knowledge that you will not get any support from here to software installed from them | 14:25 |
| ravenger | trijntje: i cant see any thing to change the resolution in gui | 14:25 |
| Myrtti | Davedan: ie. "on your own discretion and risk" | 14:25 |
| trijntje | ravenger, thats not your system, just the cd | 14:25 |
| erUSUL | Davedan: it depends on who mantains that ppa. anyone can make a ppa you only need a launchpad account. so quality varies greatly | 14:25 |

| erUSUL | Davedan: dunno i do not do packaging myself ;) maybe in #ubuntu-motu you get better answers to that | 14:27 |
| Davedan | erUSUL: I mean that the boot script is similar | 14:27 |

| trijntje | ravenger, i dont understand, why are you on the live cd? | 14:27 |

| AnAnt | Pelo: currently I am booting using the new kernel, so it should be the new driver | 14:43 |
| AnAnt | Pelo: you mean that when I booted in old kernel, then back to new kernel, I'm not using KMS anymore ? | 14:44 |
| andresmh | is there a PPA for the latest kernel? | 14:44 |
| MohammadRRR | Yes But It Does'nt Work | 14:44 |
| Pelo | AnAnt, , I suggest you log in with that safety session and do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade , then restart , hopefully that will fix it , if not we can look into broken packages | 14:44 |

| AkhlD | im totally noob to MySql nd ubuntu | 14:59 |
| epinky | Mavrik: did you considered using NIS ? | 15:00 |
| AkhlD | i m tryin to install Word Press on my home box | 15:00 |
| Pelo | enthdegree, the hidden folder for gimp in your /home folder maybe ? | 15:00 |
| AkhlD | this is the error it shows Error establishing a database connection | 15:00 |
| APERSON | AkhlD, #ubuntu-server | 15:00 |
| Mavrik | epinky: NIS? | 15:00 |
| enthdegree | I have already gotten rid of ~/.gimp* | 15:00 |
| AkhlD | APERSON, its not server | 15:00 |
| onetinsoldier | dane: you could to check on whether or not a newer version visualboy is available from source on the internet and try to compile it to see if that fixes the issue | 15:00 |
| APERSON | AkhlD, but you're running one | 15:00 |
| AkhlD | Linux akhldz 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 15:00 |
| Pelo | enthdegree, maybe the ppl in #gimp-user have a clue | 15:01 |
| UbuntuN00B | petsounds whats that for? | 15:01 |
| enthdegree | Ok, I'll try over there. (c: | 15:01 |
| Pelo | enthdegree, you might also want to try forcing the package version in synaptic | 15:02 |
| petsounds | UbuntuN00B, to get information about your video card. | 15:02 |
| pav5088 | Is there any way to upgrade a 32bit system to 64bit? I'm having a problem with a KVM virtualisation bug which is a problem only on a 32bit userspace running on an AMD64 processor. | 15:02 |
| coolkehon | hi | 15:02 |
| UbuntuN00B | I type it into terminal? | 15:02 |
| jpds | pav5088: No, I think reinstall is the only option. | 15:02 |
| coolkehon | the problem is that i have an encrypted system that needs kernel command line args so that the kernel knows where the luks encrypted partition is. but when i do update-grub it includes the kernels by default in /boot but i need custom args. also how will grub2 work with dual boot 2 linux distros that both have grub2 installed ? | 15:03 |
| petsounds | UbuntuN00B, yes. open a terminal and type lspci | grep -i vga | 15:03 |
| Pici | I'm done for now. Sorry again. | 15:03 |
| Pelo | pav5088, you can'T upgrade that way , you need ot reinstall , but it you have your /home on a seperate partiton that should be easy enougth, you can probabloy also use get-selection to save a list of all your packages for a one command reinstall of your appl afterwards | 15:03 |
| petsounds | Pici, good job :-) | 15:03 |
| Pelo | Pici, thank you ... | 15:03 |
| redspike | hi all, i ahve some problems with my ubuntu 8.04 xen installation. i want to install a ubuntu 9.10 dumU but what i can read on the net 9.10 request kernel 2.6.31> so can i find kernel 2.6.31 for 8.04 ? need it to start my new 9.10 domus | 15:04 |
| usr13 | I'm trying to uninstall old kernels. I use command: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-* to see what kernels I still have left. I see linux-image-2.6.20-15 and a couple others but when I try to delete them, I get error: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.20-15* See: http://pastebin.com/faac27c5 | 15:04 |
| pav5088 | Pelo and jpds : Thanks for the info... *sighs* perhaps I'll just have to bite the bullet. | 15:04 |
| coolkehon | the problem is that i have an encrypted system that needs kernel command line args so that the kernel knows where the luks encrypted partition is. but when i do update-grub it includes the kernels by default in /boot but i need custom args. also how will grub2 work with dual boot 2 linux distros that both have grub2 installed ? | 15:04 |
| UbuntuN00B | thanks but neither your way or the other guys way told me the actual MB's only the card name. | 15:04 |
| Pelo | pav5088, you have little choice | 15:04 |
| epinky | UbuntuN00B: what info do you need? | 15:06 |
| UbuntuN00B | so do I need to install this "lshw-gtk" for a GUI? | 15:06 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: have you tried out 'lshw-gtk'? | 15:06 |
| onetinsoldier | yes.. you need to install it | 15:06 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 | 15:07 |
| APERSON | Threetimes, that's all handled by drivers | 15:07 |
| UbuntuN00B | kk I have to wait cause Ubuntu is updating like 200+mb's right now lol | 15:07 |
| onetinsoldier | roger, hehe | 15:07 |
| Threetimes | APERSON: you're sure it will work? where will it work? | 15:08 |
| UbuntuN00B | question after updating if I click the upgrade to 9.10 will that affect anything from 9.04? | 15:08 |
| usr13 | Here is what I have http://pastebin.com/f8b7ae05 | 15:08 |
| APERSON | Threetimes, all handled by drivers: ie, the gesture support is limited to the operating system that comes with the laptop | 15:08 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: you're runnning 9.04? i don't think you want to upgrade to 9.10 | 15:09 |
| marcelo | hi, I having problems to connect to the internet. When I click the small network icon on upper right corner there is no eth0 connected is this normal? What is happening? | 15:09 |
| UbuntuN00B | lol kk, 9.10 that bad huh? | 15:09 |
| Threetimes | It wil come with Vista, but I'll install ubuntu instead (duh!) | 15:09 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: if you want 9.10, i recommend installing it from scratch | 15:09 |
| UbuntuN00B | ahh alright | 15:09 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: you're welcome to try an upgrade to it, but it's just that i would recommend an install from scratch | 15:10 |
| jointman | Nikki Ventura. | 15:10 |
| Pelo | marcelo, clean install ? i had a similar problem at one point I needed to disable ipv6 in the network comf | 15:10 |
| UbuntuN00B | funny story is I tried 9.10 from scratch but it kept freezing at 98% so I decided to try 9.04 and it worked | 15:10 |
| epinky | marcelo: "sudo ifconfig -a" ,is eth0 available? | 15:10 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: ahhh, roger that | 15:10 |
| UbuntuN00B | so I didn't know if ince I naly got ubuntu on here if trying to go from 9.04 to 9.10 would pose a problem | 15:11 |
| UbuntuN00B | sorry wireless keyboard didnt pick up some letters lol | 15:11 |
| IdleOne | !upgrade | UbuntuN00B | 15:12 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: hard to say. how well a dist-upgrades goes, can vary pretty wildy | 15:12 |
| marcelo | epinky, This is the output http://codepad.org/BHrSULHu | 15:12 |
| marcelo | Pelo, I do no remember of any error message during installation ... | 15:12 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: i will say, if you want to try a dist-upgrade, the best time to try it is right after a fresh install of the version below it | 15:13 |
| UbuntuN00B | maybe I'll swap HDD's and try on a spare first | 15:13 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? What gestures will work? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 | 15:13 |
| some_guy_at_work | Packard Bell?! | 15:13 |
| some_guy_at_work | You mean HP | 15:13 |
| UbuntuN00B | wtf? | 15:13 |
| Threetimes | some_guy_at_work: I mean Packard Bell | 15:13 |
| Threetimes | !netsplit | 15:14 |
| onetinsoldier | looked like a Netpsplit | 15:14 |
| MASARUwota | yeah | 15:14 |
| IdleOne | UbuntuN00B: it's a netsplit, nothing to be worried about | 15:14 |
| UbuntuN00B | I have no idea how irc works lol | 15:14 |
| Pelo | marcelo, it doesn'T show as a problem during install, it just enables ipv6 and that's a problem when you get to trying to connect, just go in the network manager thingy look around and if you see ipv6 enabled uncheck it or someting | 15:14 |
| devunt | I'll go to bad now | 15:14 |
| sporedi | if one person is fixing my system remotely using ssh how do i find what command /what he is using | 15:14 |
| devunt | it's 12:14 am | 15:14 |
| Pelo | UbuntuN00B, not a good time to learn, this network is under attach | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 15:14 |
| epinky | marcelo: so, eth0 is there but it's not configured | 15:15 |
| devunt | bye | 15:15 |
| onetinsoldier | sporedi: been a long time.. but i think the 'who' command | 15:15 |
| UbuntuN00B | I know but the lingo of netsplit had me in curiosity haha | 15:15 |
| sporedi | yes i check with who it only give ip | 15:15 |
| onetinsoldier | sporedi: try to talk to him... use the 'wall' command, hehe | 15:16 |
| marcelo | epinky, I do not know how to configure it manually ... could guide me on that? | 15:16 |
| llutz | sporedi: "w" | 15:16 |
| ki4cgp | sporedi: who command will tell you who is logged into your system. You might also be able to get constant updates with the "top" command | 15:16 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? What gestures will work? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 | 15:16 |
| some_guy_at_work | ...packard bell | 15:16 |
| UbuntuN00B | this is one irc question I think is good to know cause I have no idea but how do you reply to someone like you reply to me in another color? | 15:16 |
| epinky | marcelo: sure, you need some info like, ip address default getway and DNS if you need it | 15:17 |
| Myrtti | UbuntuN00B: prefix the message with their nickname | 15:17 |
| onetinsoldier | sporedi: ok, maybe it's not the who command. i'll try to keep looking for the command. ask the question again. maybe someone else knows | 15:17 |
| Myrtti | UbuntuN00B: it's called hilighting someone | 15:17 |
| === AnAnt_ is now known as AnAnt | ||
| Threetimes | some_guy_at_work: I don't care what you think about any brand, so please say something more useful... | 15:17 |
| IdleOne | UbuntuN00B: strart by typing the first few letters of their name and hit the tab key to complete. that will highlight them | 15:17 |
| UbuntuN00B | IdleOne Hi | 15:18 |
| MASARUwota | Threetimes: it wont, as ubuntu doesnt have support for that | 15:18 |
| UbuntuN00B | that work> | 15:18 |
| UbuntuN00B | ? | 15:18 |
| IdleOne | UbuntuN00B: that worked | 15:18 |
| some_guy_at_work | ok.. Packard Bell is Acer | 15:18 |
| MASARUwota | Threetimes: also, keybindings are way more usefull then using a mouse :/ | 15:18 |
| UbuntuN00B | oh i figured it would look like it on mine too haha | 15:18 |
| IdleOne | some_guy_at_work: be helpful please | 15:18 |
| navatwo | My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor | 15:18 |
| Threetimes | MASARUwota: thanks. But multi-gestures are fun (i think...) | 15:18 |
| MASARUwota | Threetimes: :/ | 15:19 |
| llutz | UbuntuN00B: colors depend on your irc-client | 15:19 |
| MASARUwota | its a hipster "apple"-ish thing to implement. imo | 15:19 |
| ki4cgp | Wow, the bot is fast. K-lined already | 15:19 |
| marcelo | epinky, I really do not know how to gather this information ... what should I do? | 15:19 |
| Threetimes | ki4cgp: Why is ozixsrgc k-lined? | 15:20 |
| Myrtti | Threetimes: spam attack | 15:20 |
| haresh | hello how to mount my cd rom driver | 15:20 |
| haresh | ? | 15:20 |
| UbuntuN00B | llutz I'm on some gogloom.com site | 15:20 |
| navatwo | My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor. Restarting gdm and restarting the computer as a whole did not work. | 15:20 |
| Threetimes | oh... Spam sux | 15:20 |
| Myrtti | Threetimes: do not click the link it sent to you, or you become a spammer | 15:20 |
| MASARUwota | navatwo: so its a GNOME problem? | 15:20 |
| epinky | marcelo: do you have any other operational computer nearby?, if yes get the info from it | 15:21 |
| navatwo | I think so | 15:21 |
| Threetimes | Myrtti: sure? I use opera on ubuntu, not IE on windows?! | 15:21 |
| Myrtti | Threetimes: yes. | 15:21 |
| epinky | marcelo: are you on Ubuntu at this moment? | 15:21 |
| APERSON | It doesn't matter the browser | 15:21 |
| marcelo | epinky, no I do not. unfortunately. | 15:21 |
| marcelo | epinky, yes | 15:21 |
| ki4cgp | Myrtti, That is good advice pretty much anywhere | 15:21 |
| Threetimes | And i didn't see any link, but how should this link work? | 15:22 |
| MASARUwota | (opera..) | 15:22 |
| APERSON | if you click the link, you are at risk to getting k-lined | 15:22 |
| APERSON | s/to/of | 15:22 |
| epinky | marcelo: so I suppose eth1 is the interface plugged, right? | 15:22 |
| AnAnt | Pelo: thanks, will look into those | 15:22 |
| marcelo | epinky, yes | 15:22 |
| Norse_Nemo | noob question, what is K-lined? | 15:22 |
| Myrtti | Norse_Nemo: banned from the whole network | 15:22 |

| Norse_Nemo | not good | 15:22 |
| haresh | hello how to mount my cd rom drive | 15:23 |
| navatwo | My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor. Restarting gdm and restarting the computer as a whole did not work. | 15:23 |
| MASARUwota | haresh: it should do it automaticly | 15:23 |
| Norse_Nemo | haresh: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 15:23 |
| UbuntuN00B | can't you get around a ban with a proxy or ip changer? | 15:23 |
| sporedi | if one person is fixing my system remotely using ssh how do i find what command /what he is using who w doesnt show what he is doing | 15:23 |
| MASARUwota | navatwo: how about reinstalling ubuntu-desktop | 15:23 |
| haresh | the leatest | 15:23 |
| haresh | but when i clikc on my cd rom drive it dose not shows | 15:24 |
| Myrtti | UbuntuN00B: that's a topic I'd rather not see discussed here | 15:24 |
| marcelo | epinky, I have just installed 9.10 it worked just fine with 9.04 | 15:24 |
| epinky | marcelo: then just plug the other interface and you'll have eth0 configured, you'll lose connection one moment, eth0 will replace eth1 | 15:24 |
| CAPcap | ok so im new to irc... i cant figure out how to register on freenode... i cant tell where im supposed to do this stuff.... can anyone explain it? i feel like an idiot. im also new to ubuntu which doesnt help T_T | 15:24 |
| IdleOne | UbuntuN00B: yes, but that is against the freenode rules and wrong | 15:24 |
| Norse_Nemo | haresh: it should show up in the places menu | 15:24 |
| llutz | sporedi: always use a shared screen session for such things. never let anyone work on your computer you don't know/trust | 15:24 |
| haresh | di know | 15:24 |
| Myrtti | CAPcap: /msg nickserv help register | 15:24 |
| haresh | but when i clikc on it it dose not open and give a error saying that its not mounted | 15:24 |
| CAPcap | do i type that? | 15:24 |
| MASARUwota | CAPcap: yes | 15:25 |
| IdleOne | CAPcap: yes | 15:25 |
| epinky | marcelo: unplug eth1 and plug the other interface | 15:25 |
| Norse_Nemo | haresh: is there somthing unusual about the CD? | 15:25 |
| CAPcap | where :( | 15:25 |
| Pici | CAPcap: Please see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup further regustration help is available in #freenode | 15:25 |
| IdleOne | CAPcap: best would be in the Server tab of your client | 15:25 |
| Ziber | when i do dist-upgrade, is it normal for "updating man" to take a very long time? | 15:25 |
| haresh | nope | 15:25 |
| Norse_Nemo | haresh: have you tried other CDs? | 15:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Ziber: that can be normal.. yes. how long is it taking? | 15:25 |
| Ziber | onetinsoldier: so far about 10 mins | 15:26 |
| haresh | yeah | 15:26 |
| haresh | tis the same | 15:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Ziber: roger... that's quite a while. i'd be starting to wonder too | 15:26 |
| Ziber | onetinsoldier: kinda dont want to ctrl+c it, but at the same time... its a bit strange | 15:27 |
| IdleOne | Ziber: wait another 10 minutes, give it a chance, you don't want to stop a dist-upgrade mid process. | 15:27 |
| marcelo | epinky, sorry, but I do not know how to do it . But it must be plugged , I was using the pc yesterday normally, I did not unplugged anything ... | 15:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Ziber: what IdleOne said.. give it some more time before interrupting it | 15:27 |
| Ziber | IdleOne: yeah, okay | 15:27 |
| ravenger | Pelo: i is not working | 15:28 |

| Pelo | ravenger, you can try and remove the driver you installed , but I don'T know what proceedure you should follow, sorry, | 15:29 |
| Pelo | ravenger, maybe you should look in to a way to reset your netbook to it's facory settings | 15:30 |
| marcelo | epinky, well I would like to fix this . | 15:30 |
| ravenger | Pelo: the other os vista is working fine | 15:30 |

| Norse_Nemo | ubuntun00b: gimme one sec you may have missed an important package | 15:37 |
| UbuntuN00B | kk | 15:37 |
| epinky | marcelo: if you want to fix then then unplug your current connection(the cable) and connect the cable to the other interface, just that, you'll lose connection one moment, but you'll be online after a seconds | 15:37 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: so, you freeze on trying to install 9.10.. right? now your system froze when trying to update 9.04 after it was freshly installed? is that right? if i were you.. i'd run Memtest on your system | 15:37 |
| Ffunk74 | Hi there! I have a little problem (all work fine for some months): When I login via gdm X server reboots, it takes 2-3 times to login without rebooting. I use Xubuntu 9.10, nVidia 7600 card with proprietary driver. Here is my Xorg.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/356619/ | 15:38 |

| H2Nut | Myrtti: ok thanks. | 15:46 |
| maco | papul: i think it's alt with numbers | 15:46 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: if you are having freeze issues when trying to install linux, especially in two different versions of Ubuntu(9.04 and 9.10), then i think you should run Memtest86+ to test your system for stability | 15:46 |
| Akkernight | Why do my Visual Effects in Apperance default to none? | 15:46 |
| maco | papul: like alt+1 for workspace 1, alt+2 for workspace 2 | 15:46 |
| epinky | marcelo_: have you ever(before upgrade) configured IP's, default gateway and other stuff ? | 15:46 |
| INV4D5R | all hi | 15:46 |
| marcelo_ | epinky, no, never. I have no background on this stuff ... | 15:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Akkernight: weak video card? old system? perhaps you need a proprietary driver for your vid card if it's not old and weak | 15:47 |
| Norse_Nemo | ubuntun00b: sry if I cant get you to a terminal, its above my level. Your best bet is to reinstall | 15:47 |
| papul | maco, doesnt work | 15:47 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier how do I do that if I can't even log onto Ubuntu? | 15:47 |
| arvind_khadri | jac0, please dont pm, ask here, there will be someone who can help you | 15:47 |

| Akkernight | onetinsoldier, No I can set the Visual Effects to high, but everytime I start it's back on none | 15:47 |
| maco | papul: try ctrl or super (windows, apple, sun's diamond, whatever) then, maybe? | 15:47 |
| papul | jac0, whats ur prob man? | 15:47 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: when you fire up the Installer CD, there's an option to run Memtest before installing | 15:48 |
| epinky | marcelo_: then I suppose you've got those addresses on eth1 from some DHCP? do you have a DHCP server/router? | 15:48 |

| Norse_Nemo | akkernight: I have had a similar problem, it turns out compiz was overiding that setting | 15:48 |
| Akkernight | Norse_Nemo, how do I fix that? | 15:49 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier kk let me look | 15:49 |
| jac0 | papul, i did a lil digging and found out that it needs a passkey-agent how do i compile it..am rily stuck.. | 15:49 |
| Norse_Nemo | akkernight: either use compiz to use desktop twaeking or uninstall it, I recommend using compiz | 15:49 |
| Norse_Nemo | akkernight: youll want to install the settings manager for compiz though | 15:50 |
| Akkernight | Norse_Nemo, compiz is that desktop cube thing isn't it? | 15:50 |
| marcelo_ | epinky, no, after installing ubuntu yesterday I just installed apache server mysql and some other packages that I suppose have nothing to do with this issue ... | 15:50 |
| Norse_Nemo | akkernight: yeas it is, but it does alot more and is highly customizable | 15:50 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier its running the test right now | 15:50 |
| epinky | marcelo_: yesterday you had eth0 working? | 15:51 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: roger | 15:51 |

| Norse_Nemo | brokendisk: I am a little | 15:54 |
| brokendisk | i am trying to restore my disk in two runs. after i read the manpage i think i will first try: ddrescue -n /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk /mnt/usb-stick/rescued.log -- second: ddrescue -r -1 /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk /mnt/usb-stick/rescued.log | 15:54 |
| brokendisk | is this reasonable? | 15:54 |
| epinky | marcelo_: then don't worry, eth1 is fully operational, using eth0 or eth1 is indifferent | 15:54 |
| marcelo_ | epinky, Ok, I am grateful for your help. | 15:55 |
| epinky | marcelo: you're welcome :) | 15:55 |
| brokendisk | and how could i create fat partition on my usb stick? fdisk doesn't seem to offer a choice and always creates "linux" partitions | 15:56 |
| Norse_Nemo | brokendisk: looks about right but If i remember corectly you can just us -nr rather then -n then -r | 15:56 |
| brokendisk | i put an usb stick in and there were like 20 paritions on it, all broken, although it worked on a windows machine, sort of strange | 15:56 |
| areay | is there a way of getting rid of the user selection at login in karmic? | 15:56 |
| Norse_Nemo | brokendisk: use cfdisk | 15:56 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldierI've been up for so long yawnnn, I'm afraid I'll crash before I finish this but worried if I'd get such good help later lol | 15:56 |
| brokendisk | Norse_Nemo: but i want two runs, first save the good things fast, then try the hard parts thoroughly | 15:57 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: lol | 15:57 |
| brokendisk | Norse_Nemo: ok thanks, what does the c stand for? | 15:57 |

| Petein | hi. i have ubuntu 9.10 and i had win vista before upgrading to win 7. the boot loader is gone. how can i bring it back? | 15:58 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: Linux is a generic term. Ubuntu is a specific distributions. there are 'many' different distribution(distro's). | 15:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Ubuntu is a specific distribution*. | 16:00 |
| brokendisk | hey how can i create a fat partition on an usb stick | 16:00 |

| brokendisk | llutz: is that exactlyu what i want? | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | Akkernight, alt+f11 | 16:02 |
| Norse_Nemo | akkernight: it depends on what keys are bond to it | 16:02 |

| llutz | brokendisk: in dos/windows-terms spoken: format an usb-stick, yes | 16:02 |
| brokendisk | llutz: and why is the formerly perfect disk recoganized with countless broken partitions? | 16:03 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: i would say that no one runs just 'Linux'... you need to download and install a 'distro'. however, it wouldn't be true to say that, because you can install LFS, Linux From Scratch. LFS is not a distro. you don't download pre-compiled packages all packaged up in a package manager format. instead, you download the source code for everything and compile from source, for everything | 16:03 |
| brokendisk | the usb stick* | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | oops Akkernight if you use desktop effects , it's ctrl+f11 | 16:03 |
| jac0 | jeeez am rily stuck anyone who can help me out...tryna pair up wit ma phone...how do i get passkey-agent workin...help :-( | 16:03 |
| llutz | brokendisk: has it been in superfloppy format (no partitions at all, fdisk shows 4 corrupted partitions)? | 16:03 |
| djtoast | Hi, was wondering is NVIDIA still has the best linux support or ATI is in the game now? | 16:03 |
| Akkernight | BluesKaj, nothing happens. BlessJah can't find anything with keys | 16:04 |
| Norse_Nemo | djtoast: Nvidia still has the edge | 16:04 |
| brokendisk | llutz: it was one working partition before, not sure what, fat probably | 16:04 |
| jac0 | o.k then... | 16:04 |
| Cyberthunder | i think nvidia, i dont have infos that ati support linux | 16:04 |
| genii | djtoast: I agree with Norse_Nemo on the Nvidia | 16:04 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier sounds complicated Ubuntu seems like its probably more user freindly esspecialy for a person who only knows PC's and very well might I add :) | 16:04 |
| llutz | brokendisk: and, what have you done with it? | 16:04 |
| brokendisk | fat32 | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | djtoast, I have nvidia , but there are some probs that ati isn't having | 16:04 |
| djtoast | I read that they have support for linux in their drivers now.. so i was wondering.. | 16:04 |
| brokendisk | llutz: just put it in and fdisk -l and countless errrors and strange partition errors | 16:04 |
| Norse_Nemo | djtoast: they do but Nvidia keeps theirs more feaue rich and up 2 date | 16:05 |
| brokendisk | just a sec, will format it with the windows machine to fat | 16:05 |
| djtoast | I c.. so ATI wouldnt have more features.. | 16:05 |
| llutz | brokendisk: are you sure there was a partition before? superfloppy uses the whole device, that works too | 16:05 |
| brokendisk | i dont know what superfloppy is, doubt it was used | 16:06 |
| Norse_Nemo | djtoast depends on a lot of things, mostly the card you are using, but If I was to buy top o the line for a linux box I would go with vidia | 16:06 |
| llutz | brokendisk: windows uses it for removable-media | 16:06 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: yes, LFS is somewhat complicated. to get it installed, you need a linux installation first! which really means that you have to choose a linux distro and install it to even begin to get started with LFS. | 16:06 |
| Norse_Nemo | brokendisk: SuperFloppy = 120 mb floppy drive | 16:06 |
| llutz | Norse_Nemo: wrong | 16:07 |
| brokendisk | i think it was fat or fat32 | 16:07 |
| Norse_Nemo | llutz: really? | 16:07 |
| genii | brokendisk: Superfloppy was a disk that could take regular 1.44 but also 120Mb discs | 16:07 |
| brokendisk | would it display as "superfloppy" in the windows dialog? | 16:07 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier lol sounds like back peddleing | 16:07 |
| brokendisk | genii: i doubt it is that... | 16:07 |
| llutz | brokendisk: nope | 16:07 |
| brokendisk | llutz: but as? | 16:07 |
| llutz | brokendisk: you won't see any difference to partitioned media | 16:08 |
| brokendisk | anyway, formatted it as fat now, lets see | 16:08 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: not really. LFS is as bleeding edge as you can get. | 16:08 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: so no errors yet from memtest? | 16:09 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier I didn't mean dumbing down I just meant the meathod to install it seems like you need to install something before you install it then I take it uninstall the original to just have LFS in the end. | 16:10 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: roger. yeah, it is in that sense | 16:10 |
| UbuntuN00B | onetinsoldier 47% and no errors so far | 16:10 |
| brokendisk | wow this is sick. again: "this does not look like a partition table, are you sure you selected the correct device?" and then spits like 20 partitions with unknown file systsems and errors | 16:10 |
| llutz | Norse_Nemo: genii what you mean is "superdisk", super floppy format is just another way to use media without creating partitions | 16:10 |
| onetinsoldier | UbuntuN00B: roger. sorry you are having freezing issues. how new is your system? | 16:10 |
| brokendisk | will try a different stick maybe | 16:11 |
| Norse_Nemo | llutz: gotcha, thanks for the clear up | 16:11 |

| llutz | Yanick_: even on live-cd there should be fdisk and some usefull tools | 16:25 |
| grawity | mtaftm: There's no such thing as "the Linux OS"... but, take a look at Arch if you want something lightweight. | 16:25 |
| Yanick_ | llutz, well, there's not | 16:25 |
| grawity | mtaftm: Actually, I think Xubuntu would work fine for you too. | 16:25 |
| Norse_Nemo | mtaftm: you should not have a problem running most linux distros on 512 megs | 16:25 |
| neohashi | blender problem: libdirectfb-1.0.so.0 not found.. though I have it according to synaptic <- do I really have to uninstall this package? (got alot of packages that will die with it) | 16:26 |
| blakkheim | kahen: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 16:26 |
| Purplecat | Raul_ > aMSN relies on JAVA, it use a lot of power… You should try empathy or pidgin… ;) | 16:26 |
| llutz | Yanick_: ls -l /dev/sd?? | 16:26 |
| grawity | mtaftm: I've used Ubuntu (the one with GNOME) on 256 MB, worked. | 16:26 |
| Norse_Nemo | mtaftm: I agree with grawity | 16:26 |
| MASARUwota | Raul_: use emesene | 16:26 |
| hsa2 | hello | 16:26 |
| MASARUwota | !hi|hsa2 | 16:26 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: xubuntu is still very bloated | 16:26 |
| Purplecat | Raul_ > Yeah eMeSeNe is grat too ^^ | 16:26 |
| kahen | blakkheim: i KNOW how to update thank you very much... just update-manager that's retarded after it was changed in 9.10 | 16:26 |
| Enigmator | Yanick_ are you using grub ? | 16:27 |
| mtaftm | well im using ubuntu and its very slow :/ | 16:27 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: use a light distribution. im running minimal debian with awesomewm here. on a 5year old laptop. =) | 16:27 |
| blakkheim | kahen: if you know how then why are you complaining? why do you need a gui for it if you know how to actually do it? | 16:27 |
| hsa2 | is it necessary to install from cd everytime ubuntu releases a new version? | 16:27 |
| Yanick_ | llutz, alright, I mounted the fs | 16:27 |
| vuln[studying] | Hi. I would like to share my 3g connection with other pcs at my home. I'm using Ubuntu, any tips? | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | hsa2: no you can upgrade | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | !upgrade | hsa2 | 16:28 |
| kahen | blakkheim: because you know... actually being notified when there are updates is kinda nice | 16:28 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: ah, abe3k don't know, use grep and awk on ifconfig to echo network ip if there is no direcht command for it | 16:28 |
| Norse_Nemo | hsa2: no you can upgrade via the internet | 16:28 |
| hsa2 | erUSUL: but is it the same from installing from cd? | 16:28 |
| raul_ | Purplecat, MASARUwota: thanks! | 16:28 |
| kahen | instead of just a window popping up which i never see | 16:28 |
| blakkheim | kahen: setup a cron job | 16:28 |
| mtaftm | MASARUwota: whats a light distribution how do you run it on minaml mate | 16:28 |
| hsa2 | i mean, bootscreen, logon screen changes on version | 16:28 |
| blakkheim | !mini > mtaftm | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | hsa2: it is not the same; you keep the installed packages an all the configurations ;) | 16:28 |
| llutz | Yanick_: edit /mountpoint/etc/network/interfaces | 16:28 |
| mtaftm | ubuntu mini ?! never heard of it | 16:28 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : so I have to make a scrip to filter the output of ifconfig then ? | 16:28 |
| vuln[studying] | Hi. I would like to share my 3g connection with other pcs at my home. I'm using Ubuntu, any tips? | 16:29 |
| hsa2 | erUSUL: i don't mean user configurations in /home/ directory | 16:29 |
| hsa2 | of course they will be saved | 16:29 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: an ubuntu minimal or debian netinstall would be perfect | 16:29 |
| hsa2 | as i said before, i am wondering boot screen and etc | 16:29 |
| erUSUL | hsa2: you keep everything; you ge the new program versions | 16:29 |
| hsa2 | well, it's not good i think | 16:29 |
| hsa2 | so i can't get new eyecandy | 16:30 |
| mtaftm | blakkheim : sorry i am new to linux so o i just search ubuntu minimal on google then? | 16:30 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}' | 16:30 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:30 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : awesome, I'll give it a try thanks | 16:30 |
| Norse_Nemo | !mini | mtaftm | 16:31 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: does that work for you? if you want the addr: part gone then pipe to sed also | 16:31 |
| blakkheim | Norse_Nemo: already tried that, got no response from the bot | 16:31 |
| mtaftm | wtf there only 10 mb ?! | 16:31 |
| Myrtti | mtaftm: it's basically a netinstall | 16:31 |
| Norse_Nemo | blakkheim: hmm, oh well | 16:31 |
| mtaftm | runs of the net yh ? | 16:31 |
| Myrtti | mtaftm: installs a barebone that you can install whatever you want to from the net | 16:31 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : it worked verry well but I don't want to include the addr: in the output | 16:31 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: hang on, let me try | 16:32 |
| mtaftm | yh but can i listen to my music via rythmbox and still use msn on it? | 16:32 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : thanks buddy | 16:32 |
| tsimpson | abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/addr://g' | 16:32 |
| abe3k | tsimpson : perfect :D | 16:32 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: you can install rhythmbox and emesene, yes. if you want i can guide you through the process. that is, if you get another pc and log in there or give me your MSN :X | 16:32 |
| Myrtti | mtaftm: no, if you don't install a graphical environment and the apps you want first | 16:32 |
| Norse_Nemo | mtaftm: I can almost assure you that you will be able to run Ubuntu on any machine made within the last 10 years | 16:33 |
| abe3k | thanks guys :> | 16:33 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://' | 16:33 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: it is what it sounds like; a minimal install. it's just a commandline. from there, you can install whatever you want with aptitude | 16:33 |
| mtaftm | i have not got another computer | 16:33 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : perfect thaaanks :D | 16:34 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: I'm sure it can be done much smarter and geekier, but this works | 16:34 |
| llutz | ifconfig | awk '/inet addr:192/ '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://' | 16:34 |
| Myrtti | mtaftm: it's a barebone version, that has the minimal set of applications needed - no graphical environment by default. you can cherry pick whatever you want to put on top of that. | 16:34 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : thats good enough for me xD | 16:34 |
| tsimpson | you want the 'g' in the end of the sed command | 16:34 |
| VCoolio | tsimpson: ok, why? | 16:34 |
| MASARUwota | Myrtti: i dont think he gets it, and i dont think he understands how a minimal install works anyways | 16:34 |
| mtaftm | i dont know if i want to install it, and heres my msn mtaftm@hotmail.co.uk | 16:34 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : you can't imagine how long the scrip I imagined to do was haha | 16:34 |
| rrittenhouse | When I install the Vlan package and configure a VLAN on my eth0 interface my eth0 interface disappears when I reboot, why is this? | 16:34 |
| mtaftm | which one should i go for ?! | 16:35 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: are you on MSN atm? | 16:35 |
| tsimpson | VCoolio: well, it's not strictly necessary in this case, but it makes the regex apply for the whole input, rather than matching once only | 16:35 |
| mtaftm | ill go on now | 16:35 |
| VCoolio | tsimpson: I see, found it in my long list of sed oneliners; good to remember | 16:35 |
| Psycho | hi | 16:35 |
| Psycho | lamers | 16:36 |
| dakira | Hi. How do I get karmic to recognize the contents of /etc/network/interfaces on startup (again)? since I upgraded to karmic I have to manually start the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces with "ifup <iface>" even though there is an entry "auto <iface>" in the file. Any ideas? I don't use NetworkManager btw.. | 16:36 |
| Psycho | Ubuntu is looser | 16:36 |
| blakkheim | Psycho: looser than what? | 16:36 |
| mtaftm | im on msn now, but with this mini one is the desktop the same, it aint like bloody terminal is it ?! | 16:36 |
| Psycho | than fedora | 16:36 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : current_ip="$(ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/addr://g')" works perfectly | 16:36 |
| blakkheim | Psycho: so fedora is tight? | 16:36 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : thanks again buddy | 16:36 |
| Myrtti | mtaftm: yes, it is terminal. | 16:36 |
| maco | Psycho: ah, someone used more torque on Fedora? | 16:36 |
| mtaftm | well i aint getting it then lol | 16:37 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: any time | 16:37 |
| mtaftm | i hate that thing | 16:37 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: then i'm not sure linux is for you :/ | 16:37 |
| mtaftm | i like linux mint i might go back to that | 16:37 |
| Psycho | You like Linux, because it's free? | 16:37 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: its the same shit | 16:38 |
| mtaftm | no its not like i dont like linux, i do like it but i keep having problems with it | 16:38 |
| Myrtti | MASARUwota: mind your langugage | 16:38 |
| gladiatr | environment: Ubuntu 9.10/amd64 console. Problem: I am starting some virtualbox guests and backgrounding them for a test environment. The ipc mechanism for vbox management tools to communicate with the guest systems is through a socket in /tmp/.vbox-user-ipc; however, when I logout, this is removed from /tmp. I need this to not happen. Any hints where to start looking? :) | 16:38 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: mint is just ubuntu with a different theme and codecs preinstalled | 16:38 |
| mtaftm | lol | 16:38 |
| Myrtti | -g | 16:38 |
| MASARUwota | and A BLACK THEME | 16:38 |
| MASARUwota | :/ | 16:38 |
| Psycho | You like Linux, because it's free? | 16:38 |
| mtaftm | well if someone can sort my java out ill be very happy | 16:38 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: i added you to msn :/ | 16:38 |
| mtaftm | ok well you aint popped up yet | 16:38 |
| Myrtti | Psycho: what's your point? this is Ubuntu support channel, if you have a support question, feel free to ask, but offtopic discussion is elsewhere | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | !java | mtaftm | 16:39 |
| ubottu | mtaftm: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | dakira, try ifup and these enties auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static | 16:39 |
| MASARUwota | psychomog: we like it because its awesome. thats why | 16:39 |
| MASARUwota | D: | 16:39 |
| mtaftm | i have java!!!!!! its just being a bugger | 16:39 |
| Enigmator | gladiatr have you tried to change owner to root? | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | dakira, err auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static | 16:39 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: what do you need java for? | 16:39 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: aMSN? you should install emesene instead :/ | 16:40 |
| Yanick_ | ok. I solved my issue :) I wrote "net" instead of "inet" lol | 16:40 |
| mtaftm | to go on a java based chat room, i always go on it i have friends on it | 16:40 |
| mtaftm | and i am using emense thats alot better | 16:40 |
| gladiatr | Enigmator, change the owner of the /tmp/.vbox-user-ipc directory to root? | 16:40 |
| mtaftm | what is your msn ill add you | 16:40 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: eehm, java-based chatrooms are irc rooms 99% percent of the time | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | Yanick_, good to hear :) | 16:40 |
| mtaftm | whats irc? | 16:41 |
| blakkheim | mtaftm: ..you're on irc right now | 16:41 |
| MASARUwota | haha oh whow | 16:41 |
| om26er | hmm.. | 16:41 |
| Enigmator | yes and all files in it, dont know if it would work, its mostly a guess | 16:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Internet Relay Chat | 16:41 |
| mtaftm | yh i am | 16:41 |
| mtaftm | sorry | 16:41 |
| mtaftm | well it might be my firefox :/ | 16:42 |
| VCoolio | abe3k: don't know if ip has always same amount of numbers; but here's an easier alternative, just for fun: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | cut --characters 21-32 | 16:42 |
| mtaftm | firefox might be the problem then | 16:42 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: its probably openjdk, but search for the ircroom name, you should use that instead | 16:42 |
| evila333 | VCoolio what will that do for ip | 16:43 |
| mtaftm | i just think its firefox and MASURA are you cal? | 16:43 |
| Enigmator | but make sure users have read write access to it | 16:43 |
| abe3k | VCoolio : yeah, I agree sometimes I'll use it with machienes that end with 3 digits | 16:43 |
| === shakil-work is now known as St0n3-C0l | ||
| St0n3-C0l | any galeon fan here? | 16:43 |
| Enigmator | I mean read execute, not write | 16:44 |
| abe3k | VCoolio :I think the long one is safer | 16:44 |
| St0n3-C0l | I want to know how to make Galeon make CTRL+C usable on Google Docs. | 16:44 |
| VCoolio | evila333: it will print character 21-32 from the line that says "inet addr:192" from ifconfig output | 16:44 |
| evila333 | oh ok i thought it was something else...just woke up... | 16:44 |
| mtaftm | ahhh when i click connect it just stop | 16:44 |
| llutz | abe3k: LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk '/inet / { print $2 } ' | sed -e s/addr:// | 16:45 |
| dakira | BluesKaj: that's what I have.. but "auto <iface" doesn't activate the interfaces on boot, which it used to do before karmic. Now I have to manually type "ifup <iface>" every time I start my computer. | 16:45 |
| llutz | abe3k: works even if you change to 10. net :) | 16:45 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: look up the server and room that it tries to connect to, and do it manually. java is for proprietary windows users | 16:45 |
| rodolfinas | i use to download sypaptic manager for something i need like a clone of msn (pgidm or something like that )..when i finish download were can i find the aplication to run it? | 16:45 |

| Norse_Nemo | rodolfinas: Applications -> Internet | 16:46 |
| mtaftm | its not that, its that you have to login, im stuck at the login page which is java based | 16:46 |
| MASARUwota | grawity: which is why openjdk =/= normal java? or am i thinking somthing different here | 16:46 |
| onetinsoldier | rodolfinas: hello | 16:46 |
| MASARUwota | mtaftm: dude, who makes javabased loginpages for websites? | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | rodolfinas: Aplications>Internet>Pidgin | 16:46 |
| mtaftm | i dont know lol | 16:46 |
| mtaftm | but its defiantly java based | 16:47 |
| llutz | abe3k: last one, sed only LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n 's/.*addr:\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/p' | 16:47 |

| llutz | abe3k: needed for this -> ... ip -4 -o addr show dev eth0 ... | 16:51 |
| abe3k | llutz : since it worked on this machine I guess it is installed, so you think I should go for the ifconfig then ? | 16:51 |
| evila333 | that was cool Masaruwota | 16:51 |
| geirha | abe3k: It comes pre-installed with ubuntu at least. Don't know about other distros. | 16:51 |
| llutz | abe3k: ifconfig can be asumed to be installed, iproute... should be, but won't | 16:51 |
| abe3k | geirha : I'll be using it with ubuntu machines yes | 16:51 |
| evila333 | it is not for me, my bro and his girl are on dial up...trying to talk them into spending the extra 6 bucks fordsl atleast | 16:52 |

| maco | CAPcap: virtualbox seamless mode? | 16:53 |
| maco | CAPcap: you can put windows into a virtualbox virtual machine so it runs on top of ubuntu | 16:53 |
| raul_ | CAPcap have you tried "Wine"? | 16:53 |
| onetinsoldier | CAPcap: WINE..... or purchase VMWare | 16:53 |
| nefast | Wine perhaps? | 16:53 |
| CAPcap | whats virtualbox and wine? | 16:53 |
| nefast | Blast, ninja'd | 16:53 |
| Slart | CAPcap: there's basically two methods.. wine and a virtual machine | 16:53 |
| maco | CAPcap: and then the "seamless mode" thing means that instead of windows being inside a box on your screen, you can have individual windows applications visible on your desktop | 16:53 |
| onetinsoldier | VirtualBox is like VMWare... except Vbox is freeware | 16:54 |
| abe3k | to the guys who helped me sort this out, a BIG thank you | 16:54 |
| nefast | Wait, VMware isn't freeware? | 16:54 |
| abe3k | bye | 16:54 |
| onetinsoldier | nope | 16:54 |

It has 2 nics and so forth... it drops connection every now and then and i was wondering if anyone here knew of a easy way to make the machine ping something ever 10-60 minutes and based on that restart the network... anyone? | 16:54 |
| maco | nefast: no, quite a bit of money | 16:54 |
| maco | CAPcap: ever seen a Mac user using Parallels? | 16:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Last i knew... VMWare was not free | 16:54 |
| CAPcap | no i dont use macs often | 16:54 |
| nefast | Hmm | 16:54 |
| maco | nefast: i think ESXi and server edition are freeware, but vmware player and vmware workstation are $$$ | 16:55 |
| nefast | I must have confused the two, probably :D | 16:55 |
| onetinsoldier | hehe | 16:55 |

| CAPcap | i just switched from a life of using windows after a virus chewed thru my registry and killed windows forever | 16:55 |
| onetinsoldier | howdy... | 16:55 |
| raul_ | is there any program like "windows movie maker" in ubuntu? or another program to make movies? | 16:55 |
| nefast | raul_, there is a spiffy video editor | 16:55 |
| nefast | Forgot the name, though | 16:55 |
| drift | how can I turn my wireless off via command line? I used to use "ifconfig wlan0 down" but in 9.10 it immediately reconnects. | 16:55 |
| MASARUwota | raul_: a simple movie maker? there is kdenlive, but it needs KDE dependencies | 16:55 |
| evila333 | Failure is not an option...It comes bundled with Windows | 16:56 |
| Slart | raul_: there's that one.. something like openshot movie maker | 16:56 |
| Deathspike | How can I disable File Lock in SAMBA? | 16:56 |
| maco | raul_: included by default, not yet. but i think pitivi will be in 10.04. you can get it through synaptic. there's also a fairly popular one called OpenShot but its not in the repositories | 16:56 |
| MASARUwota | evila333: lol | 16:56 |
| gladiatr | Enigmator, hrm... just need to figure out what part of what subsystem is responsible for the /tmp cleaning. I completely understand why it's there... I just need to be able to deactivate it for the account that is being used to start the vms :\ | 16:56 |
| viliny | drift: should that be iwconfig? | 16:56 |
| contrast | raul_: openshot is considered the go-to option in ubuntu at the moment. google should take you straight to its homepage. :) | 16:56 |
| Slart | raul_: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ .. not sure if it's available from the repos though | 16:56 |
| maco | drift: network manager doesnt let you use ifconfig commands. you have to "sudo stop network-manager" first | 16:56 |
| maco | Slart: it's not | 16:56 |
| evila333 | I have switched from ubuntu to the crunchbang distro I am loving this | 16:57 |
| maco | Slart: it depends on ffmpeg head, and thats not packaged. openshot's packages install their own version of ffmpeg | 16:57 |
| raul_ | so... the program more recommeded is openshot? | 16:57 |
| Slart | maco: ah.. thanks | 16:57 |
| drift | viliny, no I have been using "ifconfig." Should I be using iwconfig? | 16:57 |
| maco | drift: ifconfig is correct | 16:57 |
| CAPcap | ok i searched WINE in synaptic, i get about 25 results, which do i want? | 16:57 |
| maco | drift: its just that network-manager won't let you manually do such things. so you need to stop network manager first | 16:57 |
| drift | maco, okay I will try your suggestion | 16:57 |
| llutz | drift: ifconfig won't control wifi-connections, only the ip-part of it | 16:58 |
| maco | llutz: but iwconfig won't down an interface like ifconfig will | 16:58 |
| andi__ | CAPcap, just do « sudo apt-get install wine » | 16:58 |
| llutz | maco: nope | 16:59 |
| CAPcap | thanks andi_ | 16:59 |
| andi__ | CAPcap, np ;) | 16:59 |
| CAPcap | how about for virtualbox or whatever its called? | 16:59 |
| protojay | CAPcap, its best to try wine first | 16:59 |
| nefast | Hm, what's a quick way to get to know which cd writer [as in hardwar]I am using? I want to rip stuff with rubyripper, but I don't know which offset to use. | 17:00 |
| Enigmator | gladiatr there may be a way to do this, Ill take a look | 17:00 |
| nefast | wine doesn't require its own windows installation. | 17:00 |
| nefast | Virtualdox does. | 17:00 |
| CAPcap | thanks protojay | 17:00 |
| drift | maco, thanks! | 17:00 |
| nefast | box eveb. | 17:00 |
| biglinux | gnu's not linux | 17:01 |
| llutz | maco iwconfig controls layer-1, ifconfig layer-3 | 17:01 |
| maco | llutz: but iwconfig doesnt have like "mode off" or anything like that | 17:02 |
| contrast | Any overclockers around? I just did my first build last night. Raised the CPU's bus from its default of 333MHz to 366MHz, left the default multiplier alone (x8).

| BluesKaj | NSuldaz, if your file manager has a network option that may be the best way to smb into your windows7 sg=hared folders, but I never had much luck with that on W7 due to the sharing group not being compatible with smb or samba . from my experience. | 17:27 |
| cybertron_ | ikonia: all files uploaded are using ftpuser and ftpgroup as the owner... no matter what the username is of the uploading account. | 17:27 |

| cybertron_ | sipior & ikonia: I've added myself to the ftpgroup, but that doesnt seem to work... as you can see, the files dont have group write access | 17:28 |

| Slart | fuzzybunny: I think the startup sound is separate from the user preferences.. (it still doesn't know which user is going to login)... perhaps something in the login window settings.. I'm not sure | 17:36 |

| Paddy_NI | How would I download and install these packages on an offline ubuntu box without using keryx https://launchpad.net/~liamgh/+archive/ppa? | 17:51 |

| Slart | Paddy_NI: you could just download the packages as well.. put them on a usb stick | 17:54 |
| Slart | Paddy_NI: basically that's what the download script does | 17:54 |

| undecim | cybertron_: can you currently read the files via samba? | 17:55 |
| Paddy_NI | Slart, the file download script is pointless | 17:55 |
| Paddy_NI | the other machine is offline | 17:55 |
| selen_z | good. | 17:55 |

| Slart | Paddy_NI: I don't think you've thought this through... you generate the script on the offline machine... run it on the online machine.. move the storage to the offline machine again | 17:56 |
| undecim | cybertron_: you need to set goup permissions on the files, and probably the directory as well. | 17:56 |
| VCoolio | Slart: the alturl.com link doesn't support karmic it seems | 17:56 |
| Paddy_NI | Slart, all that to get two files installed on an offline computer O_O | 17:57 |

| cybertron_ | undecim: http://pastebin.com/m3a615447 | 17:57 |

| onetinsoldier | jon5000: then run the same command again.... sudo apt-get update | 18:13 |
| XBlackChaosX | Slart, btw i dont mean at login i just mean like when im installing updates or installing software via software center etc | 18:13 |
| Slart | XBlackChaosX: yes | 18:13 |

| gizmobay | I'm trying to resize my partition with gparted. The boot is ext3 and the extended is xfs | 18:24 |
| BeepBeep | Thanks | 18:24 |
| gizmobay | I can't resize the xfs | 18:24 |
| selen_z | beep beep | 18:25 |
| undecim | gizmobay: I've always had problems resizing xfs with gparted as well. | 18:25 |
| selen_z | yes.me too. | 18:25 |
| blakkheim | gizmobay: xfs partitions cannot be shrunk | 18:25 |
| ver | gizmobay, i'd suggest asking in #xfs, but they'd just say "SGI ROOOLZ" and kick you.. | 18:25 |
| gizmobay | hmm, how can I do this? | 18:25 |
| fosco__ | gizmobay, not sure if gparted supports xfs, make sure you have xfs-progs package installed | 18:25 |
| undecim | gizmobay: to this day, the only way I've found is to backup the files somewhere else, remove the xfs, resize the partitions, then put the files back. | 18:25 |
| blakkheim | gizmobay: you can't, i am trying xfs partitions cannot be shrunk | 18:26 |
| blakkheim | i am saying* | 18:26 |
| ver | it's funny, because XFS partitions are easy to resize, technically | 18:26 |
| gizmobay | drat | 18:26 |
| undecim | gizmobay: just back sure that wherever you back them up to save permissions | 18:26 |
| blakkheim | gizmobay: why did you choose xfs if you don't know about it? | 18:26 |

| === ubuntu_liveCD_us is now known as ubuntu_liveCD | ||
| Slart | obiwan_: ouch.. that sounds painful.. there has to be good books out there about bash.. it's been around for a while | 18:43 |

| gerzel | ok | 18:44 |
| obiwan_ | yeah slart, problem is that i can't even read the man, a book would be so worse... | 18:44 |
| LjL | obiwan_: people who learned to "program bash" and use iptables in its worst nuances most probably haven't learned it from manpages, but from good. for instance, google "bash scripting howto" for a really fine manual. | 18:44 |

| Krepta | ubuntu for dummies? | 18:44 |
| gerzel | thanks I'll look into things further | 18:44 |
| Slart | obiwan_: "can't even read the man".. I would say that managing to read the entire man page is a big feat indeed.. reading a book about bash sounds much more pleasant | 18:45 |

| obiwan_ | look Slart i like unix, i'm really interested in bash, i'd love to be a programmer, so some days i feel like, yeah this is the day, i'mma read it. but then i start, read like 400 lines man bash, and i just can't keep, cause i see it's 28xx lines, and i think dude this ain't possible, i just can't go on | 18:45 |
| indradg | Krepta, thanks I know that... but does Ubuntu have anything like "authorized artwork" for stuff like DVD disc labels that can be re-produced and distributed in unmodified format? | 18:45 |
| jason_froebe | Synthercat - memtest is bundled with Ubuntu but Ubuntu really has nothing to do with it. If it sometimes says something is wrong but not always, the odds are that either your memory is going bad or it is overclocked | 18:45 |
| Slart | obiwan_: man pages are available as html-files as well.. perhaps that's easier on the eyes? | 18:46 |
| Krepta | indradg: not sure of anything, but I wouldn't worry about copying and giving copies of the discs, including labels. | 18:47 |
| obiwan_ | ok LjL and Slart , i'll try about that. maybe that way i can, cause i'm really interested in making and of course, u nderstanding scripts. It fscks me when i open some /etc/init.d script and i don't u nderstand 60% of it's phrases haha | 18:47 |
| usr13 | Slart: Try tty (easier on the eyes)... | 18:47 |
| Slart | obiwan_: I would go with something like this http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565923478 (I'm not familiar with that book myself.. that's just an example) | 18:48 |

| euxneks | znx^: then don't try iptables :P | 18:58 |
| erUSUL | rhamptonii: yes | 18:58 |
| euxneks | znx^: you should just be able to use whatever port is needed when an application is listening on it | 18:59 |

| rek | like amule | 18:59 |
| znx^ | euxneks: well you know how transmission can check if the port is open to download.. and it's not.. download is so slow.. | 19:00 |
| euxneks | znx^: that would either be your router or your ISP blocking that port. I would suggest a non-standard port | 19:00 |
| Diverdude | is it possible to make a list of all packages installed, reinstall ubuntu and just give this list to the packet manager, and then it installs all the packages again? | 19:00 |

| onetinsoldier | Diverdude: yep | 19:01 |
| euxneks | znx^: you can also encrypt it afaik | 19:01 |

| znx^ | euxneks: But don't know, the torrent might not be healthy or something | 19:02 |
| euxneks | znx^: yeah but you said transmission said the port was closed...? | 19:02 |
| euxneks | znx^: if that's the case, and you've opened the port on your router, then there must be something on the ISP's side blocking that port | 19:03 |
| znx^ | euxneks: Yep, it says that it's closed.. tornado says it closed | 19:03 |
| Slart | error_name: it's not a cpu downclocking thing? ie without anything big running it underclocks the cpu which in turn makes it a bit sluggish.. but when you run something big it runs at normal speed? | 19:03 |
| euxneks | znx^: did it say it was closed in windows? | 19:03 |
| euxneks | znx^: and did you also use transmission in windows | 19:03 |
| znx^ | euxneks: Nope.. | 19:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Diverdude: np. to make the file(save on floppy/usb stick)... dpkg --get-selections > my_package_list.txt | 19:03 |
| znx^ | euxneks: No i used utorrent.. | 19:04 |
| error_name | slart how to make it run at normal speed everytime | 19:04 |
| euxneks | znx^: so, one of two things could solve this: encrypt your traffic (there should be an option in transmission) or change your net port on which you're sharing | 19:04 |

| Mrokii | erUSUL: So, do you know a possible reason why these shortcuts do not work for me? | 19:58 |
| mike8i8 | u'r welcome! | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | Mrokii: doesn't work means ? you get a blank screen? or what? | 20:00 |
| ShishKabab | mike8i8: No luck. E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate. But I just found another program (for Window, yuck ;)). Thanks anyway for your help! | 20:00 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: No they do not switch to anything at all. And when I have a terminal opened, pressing ctrl+alt+f1 for example prints out ";7P" | 20:01 |

| rmman | Hi. If I do rm -I on a lot of files, it says "remove all arguments?" | 20:02 |
| rmman | Is there a way to make it list all the files it plans to remove? | 20:02 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: That's a bit of a problematic issue, as I use an Apple Extended Keyboard II (pretty old, with an ADB-adaptor). | 20:02 |
| rmman | Like a quick general overview | 20:02 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: But as far as I can tell, I think I configured it properly. | 20:02 |
| Turbolinux | Hello everyone. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on my internet notebook computer. I want to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix desktop but I have an question for one situation. If I want to use standard desktop system, can I select from Netbook Remix desktop menu? | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | Mrokii: i suspect it may be becouse of the weird keyboard but i dunno how to solve it ... | 20:03 |
| usr13 | ardchoille: I fixed it: sudo apt-get install --reinstall vim vim-common vim-gnome vim-gui-common vim-runtime | 20:03 |
| tyrosine | Turbolinux: ALT+F1? | 20:03 |
| Mrokii | linux: I think removing that should be possible by right-clicking on the Applications-menu and choosing "edit menus" | 20:03 |

| mike8i8 | raven: | 20:05 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: Well, other shortcuts (like ctrl+alt+backspace) work, so it seems that only the function-keys are a problem. | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | _raven_: you have to install one first | 20:05 |
| onetinsoldier | linux: roger. you're welcome. no worries. enjoy! | 20:05 |
| mtaftm | anyone can you help me :) ?! | 20:05 |
| Turbolinux | Tyrosine: it only opens console session. | 20:05 |
| epinky | !anyone | mtaftm | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | Mrokii: sure. do the function key give error in other apps or situations ? | 20:05 |
| ubottu | mtaftm: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 20:05 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: no. the shortcut for opening a command-window for example (in conjunction with F2) works as well. | 20:06 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: I mean, the shortcut that opens a requester where one can type something in/run an application | 20:07 |

| _raven_ | erUSUL, how - i have only internet when i can install the umts-stick on ubuntu-server | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | axos88: why use nfs with windows clients ? | 20:08 |
| unop | rmman, just echo the glob out? e.g. echo * | 20:08 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: I have another (regular USB, but also from Apple) keyboard and these shortcuts do not work there as well. | 20:08 |
| * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now | 20:08 | |

| mtaftm | genii: whats ZoneMinder | 20:11 |
| Mrokii | erUSUL: The only thing I can think of is that there is a problem with the selected keyboard-model. I struggled some time to find the proper one (had to use some bash-commands to do so), and maybe that, in conjunction with the ADB-adaptor lead to wrong keycodes in some ways. | 20:11 |

| ikonia | Rob215: sure | 20:36 |
| Rob215 | ikonia: now let go to the solution | 20:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Gorlist: i know one way to make sure you get what you want... download the packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 20:36 |

| ActionParsnip28 | mtaftm: it can be either. some stuff is easier at command line. same with windows | 20:37 |
| ikonia | mtaftm: there is a window system for it | 20:37 |

| mtaftm | actionparsnip28: what are you on about , i said manycam dont work with wine | 20:39 |

| erUSUL | rek: you can access its web interface it is easier that way | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip28 | mtaftm: then if the main use of the system is that app then you will have to dual boot to get it | 20:40 |
| squarepeg | It left "local timezone" 5 hours off | 20:40 |

| rek | erUSUL: what | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | rek: if you need command line is via telnet like interface | 20:41 |
| jimcooncat | Debian 5.0 release notes say: The preferred program for package management from the command line is aptitude, which can perform the same package management functions as apt-get and has proven to be better at dependency resolution. -- Does this hold true with Ubuntu? Should we be telling people to use "aptitude" instead of "apt-get"? | 20:42 |
| mtaftm | Scunizi: no im looking for a program where i can show my pictures via through Amsn or show my friends videos through webcam via Msn | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | rek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MLDonkey <<< here | 20:42 |
| rek | ok telnet what | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip28 | jimcooncat: both are fine. apt-get install all needed deps just like aptitude does | 20:43 |
| Scunizi | mtaftm: ah.. for pics there's lots of quick paste pic sites you could use and then provide them a link i the IM window.. How about google wave? It can do pics.. not sure about video though. | 20:43 |

| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: yes but ddrescue shuold rescue exactly that | 21:08 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: but it's on system windows' | 21:08 |
| schui_ | thank you | 21:08 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: no, not really :) | 21:08 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: it should just jump over fried sectors | 21:08 |
| bredoto | does anyone know how to disable wifi card in ubuntu? It is allways in alive mode and any control keys do not disable it. | 21:08 |
| EastDallas | schui_: right click on the word applications and choose 'Edit Menus' | 21:08 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: it says so in the doc | 21:08 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: not if the HDD is physically damaaged | 21:08 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: windows are managed by the window manager. thats what i said | 21:08 |
| jmichaelx | i am running chown -R on a full 400GB HD, with many small files. is it unusual that this could take 20-30+ minutes to complete? | 21:08 |
| MorphyNOR | damaged* | 21:08 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: yes exactly for physically damaged disks it is meant | 21:08 |
| EastDallas | jmichaelx: nope | 21:08 |

| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: thats the entire idea of ddrescue | 21:09 |
| jmichaelx | EastDallas: thanks very much. i was trying to figure out whether or not something was hanging. | 21:09 |
| yuvalo | how do I make an ISO from USB flash drive? | 21:09 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: call me a naysayer if you wish, but I think you put too much faith into that :) | 21:09 |

| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: did you ever read the ddrescue doc? http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html | 21:09 |
| bredoto | hia. does anyone know how to disable wifi card in ubuntu? It is allways in alive mode and any control keys do not disable it. | 21:09 |
| MorphyNOR | if something is physically hindering a HDD from working properly, no software in the world can fix it | 21:09 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: look at http://i46.tinypic.com/2gtqe5d.jpg | 21:10 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: yes it can rescue parts of it, thats what ddrescue is meant for. | 21:10 |
| EastDallas | jmichaelx: I changed permissions on a 120GB hdd a while back and it took 15 or so minutes to hit every file. | 21:10 |
| ardchoille | !repeat | bredoto | 21:10 |
| ubottu | bredoto: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:10 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: a HDD is a mechanical device, if there is something mechanically wrong with it, its dead, unless you ship it off to some fancy HDD rescue shop who will take it apart and fix it for you manually | 21:10 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: not correct | 21:10 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: backup and rename your config files, or try another Window manager. DO IT | 21:11 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: there are many different hardware errors, most partially fixable | 21:11 |
| MorphyNOR | if a HDD makes "strange noises" it is usually damaged | 21:11 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: no, it usually means head failure and bad sectors, which ddrescue is meant for to deal with | 21:11 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: where on earth can i get a window manager other than nautitilus | 21:11 |
| bredoto | sorry for repeating my question its becaus of my low connection speed and long irc client response! | 21:11 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: okay, well why dont you just use it then? :) | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | brokendisk: using rfkill | 21:12 |
| dacs | using nmap -PE -PA21,23,80,3389 -A -v -T4 myIP i am getting port 23 is filtered ...why? | 21:12 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: the problem is it stops working after some time | 21:12 |
| jmichaelx | EastDallas: then i may be in for a long ride. this has been going for 20 minutes or so already.... i am wanting to rsync its contents to another drive and was going to use grsync as user... i should have just run rsync from CLI with sudo, and could have saved much time. :-( | 21:12 |
| brokendisk | i dont know why | 21:12 |
| digilord | Rob215, Use kubuntu? | 21:12 |
| brokendisk | erUSUL: to kill ddrescue or to save the data? | 21:12 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: you dont know what a window manager is, do you. well, just try backing up your .config directory, and relog | 21:12 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: maybe because it cant read from the disk AT ALL? | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | brokendisk: sorry; wrong nick | 21:12 |
| Rob215 | digilord:no, ubuntu | 21:12 |
| iceroot | Rob215: nautilus is not a window-manager its a file-browser | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | bredoto: use rfkill | 21:12 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: it can read from the disk, it works for 20 seconds | 21:12 |
| digilord | You asked about another window manager... kubuntu doesn't use nautilus | 21:13 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: windows manager. do you know any. | 21:13 |
| dragon | Is lucid-alpha-2 out? | 21:13 |
| schui_ | i dont suppose anyone could help me install UT2004: Editor's Choice edition? | 21:13 |

| blistov | I've removed a package via apt-get remove foo, but I did not use the --purge option. How can I remove all the files --purge would have removed? | 21:14 |
| Rob215 | wait wait!! | 21:14 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: install icewm or something, and retry | 21:14 |
| Gesi | thanks to everyone | 21:14 |
| EastDallas | brokendisk: MorphyNOR: Sometimes placing a damaged HDD in an airtight container and freezing it will make it work a little longer for a temporary solution. | 21:14 |
| MASARUwota | make sure to pick it at session | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | bredoto: it can disable the wifi card | 21:14 |
| Gesi | YOU ROCK :D | 21:14 |
| iceroot | blistov: apt-get remove --purge package | 21:14 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: then pick it as "session" on the login screen | 21:14 |
| iceroot | blistov: you can call it even if you used remove before | 21:14 |
| jmichaelx | blistov: you can still run purge for that package | 21:14 |
| brokendisk | EastDallas: yes heard about that too, it will contract the platters and remove friction between head and surface | 21:14 |
| ardchoille | blistov: sudo apt-get autoremove | 21:14 |
| brokendisk | didnt try that yet though | 21:14 |
| blistov | iceroot, I've tried doing exactly that. It does not remove the configs for sendmail. | 21:15 |
| MorphyNOR | EastDallas: pseudo science? a HDD is an airtight device already... | 21:15 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: my login screen doesn't work!! | 21:15 |
| brokendisk | EastDallas: any idea why ddrescue suddenly stops working? it is built do deal with bad sectors and jump over them | 21:15 |
| dacs | using nmap -PE -PA21,23,80,3389 -A -v -T4 myIP i am getting port 23 is filtered ...why? | 21:15 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: WHAT? | 21:15 |
| MASARUwota | !doesntwork|Rob215 | 21:15 |
| ubottu | Rob215: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 21:15 |
| iceroot | blistov: apt-get purge instead of remove --purge? | 21:15 |
| EastDallas | MorphyNOR: yeah, but the electronics are not protected from the moisture in the freezer | 21:15 |
| brokendisk | yes EastDallas is right | 21:15 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota:lol | 21:15 |
| MorphyNOR | brokendisk: do that then... | 21:15 |
| dragon | !doesntwork | Rob215 | 21:15 |
| blistov | iceroot, nope, still nothing. Just reports back that sendmail is not installed. | 21:16 |
| blistov | Which I'm aware of :) | 21:16 |
| CAPcap | ctrl-alt-del and you get your task manager. is there any hotkey for the system monitor? or any way to establish one? | 21:16 |
| iceroot | blistov: and config-file does not mean *.conf for purge conf-files are files which are in the package debian/conffiles | 21:16 |
| Rob215 | Ubottu: lol | 21:16 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 21:16 |
| brokendisk | MorphyNOR: no thats the last resort and only necessary if the device is not recognized by the bios due to sticking heads | 21:16 |
| EastDallas | brokendisk: yeah, but if your hdd is physically failing ddrescue might not be of much help. That's why I suggested the freezing option. Of course that's a las resort. | 21:16 |
| blistov | iceroot, well /etc/init.d/sendmail and /etc/mail/sendmail* is all still existing. | 21:16 |
| brokendisk | but my bios has the device, the wquestion is why ddrescue stops working after it successfully started | 21:16 |
| blistov | I'm sure the sendmail dpkg installed them, so logically, purge should remove them . | 21:17 |
| bredoto | erUSUL, hm it does not help. wi-fi led is steel in active mode. it is very strange because iwconfig does not show any wi-fi devices. | 21:17 |
| iceroot | blistov: hm maybe install again and then use purge? | 21:17 |
| EastDallas | brokendisk: the drive motor might be failing...Have you looked at the S.M.A.R.T. data? | 21:17 |
| brokendisk | EastDallas: my device is already found by the bios so dont need the freezer method | 21:17 |
| brokendisk | EastDallas: smart says OK motor works | 21:17 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: Slowly put: logoff... then... click on my username .. and then... doesn't work | 21:18 |
| bredoto | erUSUL, it happened after my system upgrade | 21:18 |
| EastDallas | brokendisk: smart only shows bad sectors, no spin up fails? | 21:18 |
| wrapster | how do i resync luns ? | 21:18 |
| CAPcap | ctrl-alt-del and you get your task manager. is there any hotkey for the system monitor? or any way to establish one? | 21:18 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: Slowly put: logoff... then... click on my username .. type... password... and then... doesn't work | 21:18 |
| brokendisk | EastDallas: SMART completely reports OK | 21:18 |
| CAPcap | oops | 21:18 |

| wrapster | im from solaris world trying my hands with ubuntu now.. could you please help | 21:19 |
| wrapster | ? | 21:19 |
| brokendisk | iceroot: ideally | 21:19 |
| iceroot | brokendisk: yes | 21:19 |
| exco | how do I disable the drum logon sound? | 21:19 |
| EastDallas | iceroot: yes, but it bases that warning on past failures. | 21:19 |
| brokendisk | it let me down there | 21:19 |
| CAPcap | are there hotkeys for they system monitor ( like ctrl alt del in windows dor task manager)? | 21:19 |
| brokendisk | thought itd never let me down | 21:19 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: it gets grayed out or what? | 21:19 |
| iceroot | EastDallas: no there are other methods too | 21:19 |
| MASARUwota | Rob215: didnt i tell you to remove the config files or get another WM? :/ | 21:20 |
| iceroot | EastDallas: not only bad sectors and so on | 21:20 |
| nibbler | CAPcap, you can define hotkeys for anything. but i'd suggest to have just an applet running in oyur menubar or smth | 21:20 |
| Rob215 | MASARUwota: it displays a "can't login" error | 21:20 |
| strywgr | exco : Click System, mouseover Preference, and select Sound. -> Select SOUNDS -> Go to the bottom and click the Log in dropdown. -> select NO Sound. | 21:20 |
| CAPcap | nibbler: how would i go about doing those things? | 21:21 |
| EastDallas | iceroot: it can't just guess that the drive will fail next time, it obviously evaluates past drive performance and errors in determining the drive's reliability | 21:21 |
| brokendisk | any idea :/ | 21:21 |

| schui_ | from a cd | 22:16 |
| Slart | schui_: cp /where/ever/the/file/is/located/linux-installer.sh ~/Desktop/ | 22:16 |
| MHz128 | After installing openbox, and changing the theme with "obconf", nothing is happening! how do I apply these settings? | 22:17 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: they are applied | 22:17 |

| MHz128 | blakkheim, I've changed the window theme, nothing changed... | 22:17 |
| xgpt | hello everyone | 22:17 |
| DasEi | RyanD: did you try to boot safemode ? | 22:17 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: are you using ONLY openbox or gnome with openbox? | 22:18 |
| MHz128 | blakkheim, gnome/openbox | 22:18 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: then i can't help sorry | 22:18 |
| MHz128 | ohh ic | 22:18 |
| RyanD | DasEi - that was my problem yesterday. so i gave up and blew away the linux part and installed from within win7 (wubi??) now i have a ubuntu entry in my win bootloader but grub drops to the sh:grub> prompt | 22:18 |
| infid | i haved 6gb of ram and yet everytime i start upfirefox it takes like 10 seconds before that spinning loading icon thing stops. What's up with that? | 22:18 |
| blakkheim | RyanD: i recommend you do a real install without wubi | 22:18 |
| infid | i dont even have any plugins installed in it | 22:18 |
| infid | and only one tab | 22:19 |
| Slart | infid: firefox isn't limited by free memory? | 22:19 |
| kinja-sheep | infid: 32bit? | 22:19 |
| iceroot | in /etc/passwd there is my shell defined. i am using zsh by default but if i am using a pc without zsh installed (passwd with ldap) i get password incorrect. is there a way to use a fallback-shell in /etc/passwd? | 22:19 |
| infid | kinja-sheep: 64bit | 22:19 |
| blakkheim | infid: ram has nothing to do with how fast a program starts up | 22:19 |
| xgpt | i have a quick question about which version in need to install | 22:19 |
| infid | blakkheim: well it's also a quad core cpu | 22:19 |
| Slart | infid: it might be waiting for something else.. io.. network latency.. cpu stuff | 22:19 |
| RyanD | blakkheim - when I did that i would get an error that grub couldn't find my root disk | 22:19 |
| infid | blakkheim: with an nvidia geforce 9500gt | 22:19 |
| xgpt | if I install the 8.04 LTS server, will i be able to upgrade straight to the next LTS? | 22:19 |
| infid | Slart: i have verizon fios | 22:19 |
| xgpt | or will I need to go through another version? | 22:19 |
| Jeruvy | xgpt: yep | 22:19 |
| blakkheim | infid: firefox is a big bloated program. your cpu has a bit to do with it, gpu has nothing to do with it. the bottleneck is your hard drive | 22:19 |
| Slart | xgpt: the next LTS isn't out yet.. but I think you'll be able to upgrade to it, yes | 22:20 |
| Ziber | anyone seen http://zpaste.org/7045 before? | 22:20 |
| kinja-sheep | infid: You could install prelink if that will help. I use that. | 22:20 |
| xgpt | Jeruvy: so if I download this older 8.04 LTS, i'll be able to go *straight* to the next LTS? | 22:20 |
| infid | blakkheim: it's a fresh install of ubuntu on a 500gb sata drive | 22:20 |
| morphix | infid, try opera :P | 22:20 |
| Slart | Ziber: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 22:20 |
| infid | firefox doesnt seem to do this on my netbook | 22:20 |
| Jeruvy | xgpt: by default, you can reconfigure it to go through all the non-LTS | 22:20 |
| RyanD | does 9.10 have a problem installing on hardware raid? | 22:20 |
| Awesome3000 | infid Or google chrome | 22:20 |
| Dark_Helmut | nibbler, trying to connect to VyprVPN | 22:20 |
| Ziber | Slart: 9.04. "command-not-found" not found. | 22:21 |
| iceroot | xgpt: if it is out you can upgrade directly | 22:21 |
| blakkheim | infid: ubuntu isn't exactly the leanest, quickest distro of linux. firefox is a very large program and unless you're using an SSD (like i am) it will take a few seconds to open | 22:21 |
| morphix | infid, test with another browser see if it occurs the same | 22:21 |
| infid | Awesome3000: how do i get google chrome for ubuntu? jump through hoops or is it in apt yet? | 22:21 |
| Slart | Ziber: do you have a question? | 22:21 |
| morphix | i had a similar problem but it was due to DNS | 22:21 |
| Ziber | Slart: how to fix that? | 22:21 |
| Dark_Helmut | nibbler, mpppe I think it is... | 22:21 |
| morphix | DNS was slow to resolve, so firefox took a bit to show the site upon load | 22:21 |
| morphix | but it could be 100% unrelated. | 22:21 |
| Slart | Ziber: have you looked through synaptic for "command not found" ? | 22:21 |
| iceroot | Ziber: sudo apt-get install command-not-found | 22:21 |
| infid | can it hurt my battery to have my powersupply plugged into my Eeepc 24/7. ie can it overcharge the battery? | 22:21 |
| MHz128 | blakkheim, ok, how do I change the openbox desktop background? is there a taskbar application? or somethhing similar? | 22:22 |
| klappi | he could change his homepage to blank and check this out | 22:22 |
| morphix | infid, http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux | 22:22 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: you can use a program like nitrogen or feh to change the wallpaper. there is no taskbar application by default either. | 22:22 |
| iceroot | infid: no not overcharged but memory-effect because its using the battery not the powersupply directly | 22:22 |
| iceroot | infid: remove the batterie if you dont need it | 22:22 |
| infid | i really love all my firefox plugins though. i could never leave the browser until chrome supported htem all | 22:22 |
| MHz128 | blakkheim, is there a third party taskbar app i can install? | 22:22 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: there are many | 22:23 |
| Slart | infid: I think modern computers are quite good with charging batteries.. ie not over charging and so on.. but the battery usually get quite warm and that isn't very good for its health.. I would remove it | 22:23 |
| infid | iceroot: well i still unplug it and just go off the battery a few hours a day | 22:23 |
| iceroot | infid: ok | 22:23 |
| MHz128 | blakkheim, where can I find a list of common/popular openbox apps to use? | 22:23 |
| bdelin88 | I want to use the terminal to search for every file called desktop.ini and delete every instance of it in a given directory (and recursively) how do I do this please? | 22:23 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: dunno. lxpanel, gnome-panel, tint2 are some popular ones | 22:24 |
| infid | ugh, after just starting to use the 3d desktop cube now eveyrtime i look at my screen i feel like it's moving, even when it's not. will this pass? :P | 22:24 |
| gabrielsimon | MHZ128 > you'll get that list you want | 22:24 |
| MHz128 | blakkheim, gnome-panel is docking my openbox windows... :P | 22:24 |
| Slart | bdelin88: "find" will do that for you.. something like find /some/folder/ -iname desktop.ini --exec rm {} \; | 22:24 |
| MHz128 | gabrielsimon, ?? | 22:24 |
| bdelin88 | Slart: thank you! | 22:25 |
| Slart | bdelin88: I might be a little wrong about the syntax.. man find will tell you more | 22:25 |
| blakkheim | MHz128: i misread what you said, i thought you were asking for panels. there are no "openbox apps" - you can use any apps | 22:25 |

| schui_ | wow i fixed it | 22:35 |
| Slart | !anyone | mack_million | 22:35 |
| ubottu | mack_million: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:35 |
| nixjr | Slart, only my second day using linux, its hard to know where to start looking, thank you for the help, ill start reading | 22:36 |

| Slart | bdelin88: yay.. you're welcome | 22:36 |
| miranda_ | can i get help for ubuntu server here? | 22:37 |
| bdelin88 | Slart: that is awesome, sorry...still learning terminal lol | 22:37 |
| paradigm_ | I last used linux 10 years ago, and have use XP since. But vista and 7 are pieces of crap. Ubuntu linux is light years ahead of where I last saw linux. I'm blown away | 22:37 |
| DasEi | miranda_: general ubuntu, #ubuntu-server is there, too | 22:37 |
| Slart | kernel_geek: nope.. 10 mb/s isn't very good.. 10 MB/s on the other hand is pretty normal | 22:37 |
| mack_million | Ive been delving into wpa security and I have a question about wordlists...I know you can put a dictionary file into aircrack, but I understand that you need to specially create a rainbow table based on the BSSID...is this necessary or does aircrack automatically parse the words in the list for the specific BSSID in the .cap file??? | 22:37 |
| nixjr | Slart, slightly off topic, am i right in assuming file extensions mean nothing in linux? | 22:37 |
| miranda_ | DasEi, Thanks you so much | 22:37 |
| kernel_geek | Slart: lol :D | 22:37 |
| Slart | nixjr: correct.. although I think gnome might use them for some superficial stuff | 22:37 |
| pontus | need help istalling cam plz help | 22:37 |
| klappi | nixjr: try the file command its nice | 22:38 |
| paradigm_ | I've been playing with all the gnome visual effects all day, lol | 22:38 |
| Slart | kernel_geek: to explain a little bit more.. 10 Mbit/s is pretty poor.. 10 MByte/s is pretty normal.. capital B for byte, lower case b for bit | 22:38 |
| mack_million | if anyone knows about cracking WPA, please see my question above...thanks in advance!! | 22:38 |

| jsec | is anyone familiar with the touch command? I know you can use it for creating random empty files, but is it possible to use it to create a few random pieces of text inside those files? | 22:40 |
| plazia | mack_million, it's not specifically an ubuntu thing is it really? better asked in #security perhaps? | 22:40 |
| mack_million | i am a network administrator for an IT company and trying to learn for security purposes. plus, I like to mess around with all types of computer stuff | 22:40 |
| mack_million | ok, thanks plazia | 22:40 |
| rahduke1 | can someone explain why my internet speed is so damn slow when I use my router? I have my modem plugged into my router and my main computer connected via Ethernet to router | 22:40 |
| plazia | mack_million, no worries mate. | 22:40 |
| Slart | jsec: I think touch is really used to update the files "latest access" date.. it's more of a secondary effect that if the file doesn't exist it gets created | 22:40 |
| === ssma is now known as SpArtAko | ||
| klappi | jsec: text like random data or real words? | 22:41 |
| Slart | jsec: you can use something like "echo blabla > somefile" this will create a file with the text "blabla" | 22:41 |
| jsec | Slart, yeah, but it was just nice be able to go "touch blah blah blah" and have all those files instantly created. | 22:42 |
| jsec | klappi, real words | 22:42 |
| Slart | jsec: ah.. yes.. it's very convenient.. perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do we might be able to help you better | 22:42 |
| === SpArtAko is now known as SpTk | ||
| klappi | jsec: you could use /usr/share/dict/words if you have such a file | 22:43 |
| jsec | Slart: originally I was working on a program that recursively searched directories for files with certain names. Now the project has morphed into searching for certain words within files (ie. recursively searching a directory/subdirectories and then searching through each file) | 22:44 |
| Slart | jsec: duplicating grep? =) | 22:44 |
| jsec | essentially yes :) | 22:44 |
| Slart | jsec: ok.. and you need some example material? | 22:45 |
| morphix | why not use grep? | 22:45 |
| morphix | like.. grep "word" -R /path/to/start/* | 22:45 |
| jsec | Slart: I was really just seeing if there was a command similar to touch for creating files with random words and such so I don't spend as much time creating throwaway files | 22:45 |
| Slart | morphix: because then you dont get to write it yourself =) | 22:45 |
| morphix | yeh but writing something that already exists seems..pointless? | 22:46 |

| phoenixz | Is there anything known about the Intel driver in Kubuntu 9.10? The actual drivers (the default "new" one and the fall back) are both HORRIBLE.. the new one causes me having to wait 30 seconds to see the 30 characters I just typed.. The fallback is still slow as hell, though now I "only" have to wait 5 seconds.. but with this one, suspend hangs my machine and every now and then, at random, the screen blanks and never comes back forcing me to restart the | 22:48 |
| phoenixz | machine.. | 22:48 |
| phoenixz | In other words, current intel drivers suck balls, pardon my French | 22:48 |
| phoenixz | Is there any news on a new Intel driver that actually ... eh.. just works? | 22:48 |
| morphix | hmm.. some odd reason 1 of the buttons on my laptop (it being usually a button to change power management for windows) seems to have set itself to lock the screen when pressed. | 22:48 |
| protojay | phoenixz, get a real gfx card! | 22:49 |
| morphix | phoenixz, mine works fine. i can even play hd flash and its fine | 22:49 |
| DasEi | phoenixz: from what I heard support is much better now in karmic, which chipset ? | 22:49 |
| Slart | phoenixz: hmm.. and I was just thinking of getting a laptop with an intel graphics card.. I thought they had fixed this in 9.10 | 22:49 |
| gerst__ | does someone have geforce 8400? | 22:49 |
| phoenixz | protojay: Sure, I'll either buy a new laptop or somehow rebuild the motherboard of this laptop so that it has an ATI.. ? Something realistic maybe? Anyway, if the drivers are crap, it doesnt matter what hardware you have.. | 22:49 |
| morphix | phoenixz, ati.. noooo | 22:50 |
| gerst__ | Im having trouble with tv out.. all I get on my tv is like no signal.. it works under windoz | 22:50 |
| morphix | geforce. | 22:50 |
| phoenixz | Slart: don't.. at least not for 9.10.. 9.04 and 9.10 were both crap, but if you ask me, 9.10 actualy got it worse.. | 22:50 |
| phoenixz | morphix: no, ANY hardwar should work! | 22:50 |
| morphix | ati has issues | 22:50 |
| Slart | phoenixz: ouch.. I'll be sure to try a live cd in the store then... make sure it works before I hand over any cash | 22:50 |
| klappi | phoenixz: you could check ppa for better intel drivers may be | 22:51 |
| morphix | nvidia cards have the best support in linux | 22:51 |
| protojay | ati is crap but better than intel | 22:51 |
| Myke1 | Hey everyone | 22:52 |
| protojay | hey myke | 22:53 |
| bef0rd | hello, I have installed ubuntu on this laptop, and when I go to the virtual terminal 1 it works ok, but when I go back to the vt 7 (x terminal) my laptop suspends | 22:53 |
| phoenixz | klappi: nop.. the PPA intel driver is what I have now.. its like 3x faster (but the original is like 30 times slower than normal, so the ppa is still 10x slower anyway) but it gives random screen blanks.. when that happens, I can't do anythihg but reset the computer | 22:53 |
| phoenixz | Slart: If I can recommaend you anything, its going for either ATI or NVIDIA | 22:54 |
| phoenixz | Slart: or, like morphix said, maybe just nvidia :) | 22:54 |
| klappi | phoenixz: sorry it was just an idea | 22:54 |
| Slart | phoenixz: mm.. I think I'll stick to nvidia then.. ati is scary =) | 22:54 |
| klappi | klappi: i have nvidia 9800gt | 22:54 |
| morphix | phoenixz, thats odd, this machine has a Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics and it works perfectly fine, heck even compiz works 100% perfect. | 22:54 |
| phoenixz | DasEi: Intel I945.. either the new driver, or the v2.4 fallback are both crap.. | 22:54 |
| morphix | I945 eek.. | 22:55 |
| phoenixz | morphix: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 22:55 |
| morphix | ah | 22:55 |
| morphix | yeh, its just a crap card. lol | 22:55 |
| morphix | i wish i had nvidia, but this is my work machine. | 22:56 |
| phoenixz | morphix: I know its a <insert something bad> card, but I've seen it working a whole lot faster than its running now.. on 8.04 it was FAST actually... 2d and 3d... well, relatively fast that is :) | 22:56 |

| === Xcell is now known as |nv|s|ble | ||
| phoenixz | I mean, how much longer do we have to wait before we finally have *at least* normal GFX support? | 22:57 |
| morphix | cause most drivers are made for windows | 22:57 |
| morphix | thats why i stick with nvidia cards | 22:58 |
| morphix | i have no issues. | 22:58 |
| phoenixz | because with all drivers that the linux kernel has, GFX support is still crap at best.. | 22:58 |
| phoenixz | Worse, how come that when somehting is working fine, suddenly a new version makes that its not working fine anymore?? My Intel card was working fine before.. | 22:58 |
| klappi | phoenixz: youre right i suffer having no speed step with my grep i945 motherboard | 22:59 |

| phoenixz | Not flaming here, I think great work is being done, but the practical situation as is now needs to change.. I'm quite the computer guy, when having problems like this, I work to fix them as best as I can (though right now its just not possible).. but like my parents for example? My dad was lucky, his comp. works fine, he loves linux.. My mom had it replaced again with windows, just because of gfx and printer driver issues.. | 23:01 |
| jsec | schui: search on google for it | 23:01 |
| jsec | there is a .deb out there that takes care of it, for some reason 9.10 omitted the c++ standard lib | 23:01 |

| rakista | ffmpeg has better compatibility | 23:03 |
| |nv|s|ble | ic..tx | 23:03 |
| morphix | phoenixz, the reason for problems is due to the support by the manufacturer of devices not having linux drivers or crap implementations, its not the fault of linux developers for lack of suport given. | 23:03 |
| |nv|s|ble | any reason brasero crashes on burn?.. | 23:03 |
| schui_ | what one should i download? | 23:03 |
| phoenixz | protojay: umm... disagree with the last thing you said.. Linux is intuitive, and very easy to use.. any problem in linux usually is fixed with ease, in windows usually it can not even be fixed.. And the programs are exelent too.. its just the drivers that suck.. | 23:03 |
| Ziber | how can i specify a boot image i want to use if i have a new one? | 23:03 |
| ardchoille | schui_: please don't use packages designed for debian on your ubuntu system, that's asking for trouble mixing distros like that | 23:04 |
| morphix | windows its usually a format to fix a lot of problems :P | 23:04 |
| protojay | phoenixz, i genenrally find things easier to fix in windows | 23:04 |

| carp | someone pls? | 23:05 |
| jsec | ardchoille: i understand what you're saying, but seeing as ubuntu is debian-based, would it be that big of a deal? | 23:05 |
| pixalen | Handy apps, i ment like.. applications that are good to have. i just installed ubuntu | 23:05 |
| Ziber | how can i specify a boot image i want to use if i have a new one? | 23:05 |
| protojay | phoenixz, drivers are hard to get working without the support of hte vendors | 23:05 |
| phoenixz | protojay: Not using CLI in linux, still easier to fix most things.. when including the CLI, forget windows ever existed.. | 23:05 |
| ardchoille | jsec: yes, it's that big a deal | 23:05 |
| schui_ | ardchoille: so i entered the command, what now? | 23:05 |
| morphix | phoenixz, i agree, but blame the manufacturers instead of bashing linux. | 23:05 |
| schui_ | it had a big list of things | 23:05 |
| phoenixz | protojay: I know.. | 23:05 |
| ardchoille | jsec: "based on debian" does not mean it's equally compatible with debian's packages | 23:06 |
| klappi | pixalen: check out software center | 23:06 |
| phoenixz | morphix: again, not bashing Linux.. Believe me, me loves Linux | 23:06 |
| protojay | phoenixz, your average user seems to think linux is much harder than windows | 23:06 |

| ardchoille | schui_: yes, quite old as far as software goes | 23:12 |
| phoenixz | protojay: and building a GUI to manage configuration files is trivial, but it is work.. somebody just has to do it.. | 23:13 |

| reynaldo_ | Hello everybody.. I wonder if I can get some help setting up my laptop to accept wireless N from the Wireless N card.. at the moment it automatically downgrades all signals to G | 23:13 |
| ardchoille | schui_: apt-cache search -n blah <-- searches for blah in the package cache and filters by name | 23:13 |
| progre55 | Jeruvy: do you mean distro by "plugin"? ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-17) | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | schui_: best way to find an app | 23:14 |
| protojay | phoenixz, i will admit, things have improved alot | 23:14 |

| Um_cara_qualquer | does anyone knows how run original films in ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| protojay | phoenixz, and you cant expect drivers vendors or software vendors to port until that happens | 23:14 |

| progre55 | Jeruvy: oh, no idea :) how can I find out? | 23:14 |

| Jeruvy | progre55: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html | 23:15 |
| protojay | phoenixz, i dont think the drivers are a main problem for 90% of people, its the software situation, we need better emulation and easier, like wine but better | 23:16 |

| phoenixz | protojay: true, wine should become more transparent.. should be invisible at all actually.. but then again, we also don't want people to run windows programs where there are perfectly fine (and many times even better) linux apps available.. | 23:18 |

| protojay | phoenixz, the linux apps are often not as good | 23:18 |
| protojay | phoenixz, exceptions such as firefox exist | 23:18 |
| phoenixz | protojay: firefox is not a linux app.. works pretty much equal on windows and linux.. and yeah, there are many apps that function better if you ask me.. | 23:18 |

| Yoman | How do I see what wireless drivers I am currently using for a specific device? Thanks | 23:55 |
| ckhikuzad | ctrl+alt+backspace doesnt bring me back to the login | 23:55 |
| ckhikuzad | jrib | 23:56 |
| blakkheim | Yoman: lsmod | 23:56 |
| jrib | ckhikuzad: alt-shift-q | 23:56 |
| kinja-sheep | Um_cara_qualquer: I don't think it was. Do "sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2" and run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" again. | 23:56 |
| sirninja | belacqua: how did you configure that after you upgraded pulseaudio? | 23:56 |

| Yoman | blakkheim, ok thanks =) does that show all the drivers I have for all my hardware? | 23:57 |
| ckhikuzad | thanks so much jrib. thats one window manager i'm aptitude removing. (its a great WM from what i hear, but i dont like it | 23:57 |
| blakkheim | Yoman: lsmod shows all modules currently loaded | 23:57 |
| Bashar | where does apport logs the crash report ? | 23:57 |
| jrib | ckhikuzad: meh, I think it's great, but you need to be willing to feel helpless for a little bit | 23:57 |
| Yoman | blakkheim, sounds like I've got some reading to do.. :) | 23:58 |
| apoch2020 | wow this feels advanced | 23:58 |

| Elite_ | Hi guys anyone know if i install this card Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 along with v4l-dvb-725c07a70453.tar.gz after ubuntu 9.04 is installed will work ? | 23:59 |
| morphix | apoch2020, me either. | 23:59 |
| apoch2020 | the only reason I wished to utilize the card in linux was to see if it could be used in airomon and such.... | 23:59 |
| morphix | probably not | 23:59 |
| apoch2020 | I already have a decend usb cracking adapter though | 23:59 |
| ckhikuzad | jrib, i know that, but not knowing ANYTHING about the WM before logging into it is very bad. i'm giving it another chance, but im learning all the commands first | 23:59 |
| jrib | ckhikuzad: sounds good | 23:59 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | it doesn't work :( | 23:59 |
