| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: its ok, I typed "sudo nautilus" and added deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: its very bad habbit to run nautilus as root.. im not even sure why you needed to do that.. :) | 00:01 |
| TheMozart | trism: now u tell me :P | 00:01 |
| TheMozart | i closed nautilus as root now.. can it do any damage since I opened it once as root? | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: You can add specific repos with the various other tools.. or make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 00:02 |
| onetinsoldier | TheMozart: no | 00:02 |
| MAZ | Hey all | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you would not belive the silly things ive seen happen by people who accidently do things with nautilys as root. :) | 00:02 |
| onetinsoldier | hi there | 00:02 |
| anil56554 | hello maz | 00:02 |
| MAZ | Pretty much still learning Ubuntu but love it so far | 00:03 |
| wish^ | so ubuntu for server ? | 00:03 |
| wish^ | what can you tell me? | 00:03 |
| * Dr_Willis points Out that Compuiz HAS a feature to append 'ROOT:' to the title of any window/program running as root. :) handy | 00:03 | |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: all i did was add deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list text file, and then installed opera.. opened apt again and removed deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list. Is that ok? | 00:03 |
| anil56554 | how to update metasploit | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | wish^: yes it can work as a server... | 00:03 |
| wish^ | will it work well, as in well like debian, fedoracore? | 00:03 |
| wish^ | stable? | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: why did you remove it? you dont get opera updates now.. and next time look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 00:03 |
| blakkheim | anil56554: with svn | 00:04 |
| MAZ | Any help me with a problem? | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | wish^: ive never heard of any complaints | 00:04 |
| anil56554 | svn how to do that | 00:04 |
| Xarver | how do I make my essay on openoffice word double spaced? | 00:04 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d for what? | 00:04 |
| blakkheim | anil56554: you shouldn't be using metasploit if you don't know that | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: thats the PROPER place to add unoffical repos. | 00:04 |
| anil56554 | i know that | 00:04 |

| anil56554 | i was just trying to see someone here is intrested in metasploit | 00:05 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: ok I added deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free back to sources.list. Is that all I need to do to get opera updates? | 00:05 |
| _CommandeR_ | when i enable two finger scroll in mouse options it does not work for some reasons and i have no idea how do make it work anyone ? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you totally missed the point of me mentioning /etc/apt/sources.list.d havent you..... | 00:06 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: its empty inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 00:06 |
| Xarver | nevermidn | 00:06 |
| TheMozart | nothing there | 00:06 |
| Xarver | mind | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you create a proper file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and those get appeneded to the sources No need to mess with the sources.list file. | 00:06 |

| MAZ | Any have any idea why I would get a kernal Panic while trying to load Ubuntu 9.10? | 00:07 |
| hulabear | Howdy! I have been using Ubuntu for about a year. I have noticed that when transferring folders (either within the same drive or to another drive) the total number of files affects the transfer speed. That is, 1000 files start moving more quickly and at a higher speed than 50000 files. Indeed, a folder that has 100,000 files may take up to 30 minutes before the data begins moving; the initial transfer rate starts around 1 kbs a | 00:07 |
| hulabear | nd slowly increases as the number files yet to move declines. The transfer speed only rarely exceeds 1 megabyte per second. What am I doing wrong? | 00:07 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: so I added a file called "sources" inside the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder and add "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" to the sources text file? | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | http://pastebin.com/f4d597e11 | 00:07 |
| ulb | hulabear: archive (compress) the files first | 00:07 |
| anil56554 | anyone metasploit geek | 00:08 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: what you mean? pastebin? | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | theres an example. from what i gather the opera.deb whould of created just that file | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | LOOK at the pastebin i pasted | 00:08 |
| wish^ | so anyone have any experience with ubuntu for an ftp server? | 00:08 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: i dont understand | 00:08 |
| meganerd | what Dan said | 00:08 |
| blakkheim | wish^: i've used debian.. | 00:08 |
| wish^ | ive used debian | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you make a file called whatever.list (thats why i gave the full path in my paste) then have a line in it like that pastebin shows for each repo you want to add. | 00:09 |
| wish^ | thing is, i wanna try something new.. | 00:09 |
| Zhenya | hi guys, anyone here have an android phone and have succesfully run gmoteserver on their install? | 00:09 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: I know I am supposed to add deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free inside the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder.. but what file do I create? | 00:09 |
| blakkheim | wish^: trust me, you're better off with debian for that | 00:09 |
| jrib | wish^: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/index.html | 00:09 |
| jrib | blakkheim: why? | 00:09 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: your explanation doesnt make sense to me sorry | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: Picksomename.list | 00:09 |
| MAZ | Any have any idea why I would get a kernal Panic while trying to load Ubuntu 9.10? It also says something about not killable process running or something to that effect | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list | 00:09 |
| blakkheim | jrib: debian (stable) is one of the best distros for a server | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: was MY specific example.. | 00:10 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: where do I save that file? Desktop? | 00:10 |
| blakkheim | jrib: just my opinion of course | 00:10 |
| hulabear | I am using external drives that are 500 Gb and 1.5 Tb capacity. I make frequent changes to the contents. Will compressing these drives interfere with ease of access to the data? | 00:10 |
| jrib | blakkheim: I agree that nothing compares to stable but ubuntu LTS is a strong server distro imo too | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: You make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with some descriotive name.list and the repo line goes In that file | 00:10 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: i created a file called opera.list on my deskstop. and inside that file I added: deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free. Now what? | 00:11 |
| blakkheim | jrib: i prefer debian from a security standpoint, i have much more respect for them | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: You make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ <------------------------- IT GOES in there | 00:11 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: whats safest way to love the file opera.list into /etc/apt/sources.list.d? | 00:11 |

| TheMozart | anyone ever seen this message, "Could not switch the monitor configuration. could not set the configuration for CRTC 56" | 00:33 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, Hitachi CM812U | 00:33 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, this monitor can do 170hz at 640x xxx | 00:33 |
| MavricAFK | I was on Compiz and I set reflection ON and my computer crashed, I restarted a few times and everytime right after I logged in the screen would freeze, can anybody help me? | 00:33 |
| anil_ded | Dr_willis: where to find fstab entries | 00:33 |
| qualitang | Network Manager won't automatically reconnect to my wireless network after a router reboot. Ubuntu 8.10, Can some one point me in the right direction? | 00:33 |

| ubottu | MavricAFK: 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. | 00:33 |
| R1kARD0 | i only see a terminal when i loging in any help? | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | anil_ded | 00:34 |
| ubottu | anil_ded: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:34 |

| ubottu | anil_ded: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 00:34 |
| MavricAFK | o | 00:34 |
| blakkheim | R1kARD0: what's wrong with that? | 00:34 |
| anil_ded | Dr_willis: Thanks dude | 00:34 |
| noladesi | ok | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip__ | MavricAFK: you'd be better asking in #compiz | 00:35 |
| MavricAFK | Ok | 00:35 |
| TheMozart | how can I tell ubuntu not to use my Nivida settings and just use default | 00:36 |
| noladesi | hey is uNR better for batt life compared to Win 7 | 00:36 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, in nvidia setting it said i have 100hz for 1152x864 but why not 1024x768?? | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you could rename the xorg.conf so you have no xorg.conf then it should use defaults | 00:36 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: but wont it create it again upn rebooting? | 00:36 |
| ice_stone | i think it will make same other one | 00:36 |
| === nexact_ is now known as nexact | ||
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: No. | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: i have several nvidia systems with no xorg.conf at all | 00:37 |
| ice_stone | oh.. | 00:37 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: it seems my nivida is not liked by Ubuntu... thats why it gives that CRTC56 message | 00:37 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: ok, so what do I do? how I rename it? | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: sudo mv whatever whatever.backup | 00:38 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: eh? | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I think it may be time to lean some bash basics..... | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: sudo mv path/tp/file /poath/to/newname.backup | 00:39 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: whats the command to rename the xorg.conf? I type sudo mv xorg.conf x1.conf ? | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: yes.. if you are in the proper directory which is /etc/X11 | 00:39 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: are u playing with me? | 00:39 |
| TheMozart | sudo mv path/tp/file /poath/to/newname.backup?? whats that? :P | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: not sure, i'd sit on 100hz personally | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: this is pretty much bash 101 day 1 stuff. | 00:39 |
| dandaman | so when i had 9.04 my hd that had windows on it was /media/disk, now when i upgraded to 9.10 the name got changed to /media/D231154353 how sould i go about changing the name back to disk? im afraid of breaking something by simply renaming it. when i right click on the disk in GParted, label is grayed out | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: THINK about the paths/filenames use your TAB keuy to complate the proper filenames | 00:39 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: so I go into /etc/X11 and type "sudo mv xorg.conf x1.conf" | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: you got it | 00:40 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: then reboot and Ubuntun will actually start? | 00:40 |
| R1kARD0 | so | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: just restart the GDM service 'sudo service gdm restart' | 00:40 |
| noladesi | Anyone compare NBR vs. Win 7 | 00:41 |
| noladesi | in battery life | 00:41 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: there is no file called xorg.conf in my /etc/X11 folder. how come? | 00:41 |
| blakkheim | noladesi: this isn't the place for that | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: looks like you are using the defaults then.. Unless your user has some specific settings set up | 00:41 |
| meganerd | noladesi: not apples to apples | 00:41 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: mv: cannot stat `xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 00:41 |
| setuid | So any ideas? | 00:41 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, in window xp (i dual booted) it do 100hz and 120hz just fine | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1826 2009-11-08 02:50 /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: then i have no idea, is 100Hz that offensive? | 00:42 |
| noladesi | oh yeah meganerd | 00:42 |
| noladesi | i mean what do you think about UNR's performance | 00:42 |
| meganerd | noladesi: besides the biggest draw is going to be the LCD followed by the north bridge | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | noladesi: unr works decent on my Netbook. | 00:42 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i can't even get 100 or 120 to work | 00:42 |
| meganerd | I have a problem with my netbook's crappy ssd | 00:42 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: ok so maybe I should install the Nvidia drivers? | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: which nvidia driver are you using? | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: If you are using nvidia cards and want the best preformace.. yes.. Use the nvidia cxdrivers | 00:43 |
| meganerd | so I have not bothered to really bench it since I pretty much can't stand it | 00:43 |
| noladesi | It works well on mine also | 00:43 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: how I install them? command? | 00:43 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, the most recommended one | 00:43 |
| noladesi | The biggest issue i have with UNR is my mouse is a little strange | 00:43 |
| meganerd | it is useable with Linux and a RAM upgrade (with no swap) | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: try adding the nvidia ppa and use the 195 driver, it may help | 00:43 |
| meganerd | no problem here | 00:43 |
| noladesi | yeah | 00:43 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, 185.18.36 | 00:43 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get install nvidia cxdrivers ? | 00:43 |
| noladesi | maybe i need to mess with the setttings | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: try the 195 from the nvidia ppa | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !nvidia | TheMozart | 00:44 |
| ubottu | TheMozart: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: it depends on your video card. I use the hardware-driver tool in the menus for mine | 00:44 |
| phong_ | can someone tell me where i can get a touchscreen driver for my tablet pc ? | 00:44 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, what you mean ppa? | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | phong_: i would check the forums for your exact tablet pc and see what others are using. | 00:44 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: where is the hardware-driver tool? | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: in the system -> admin menus | 00:45 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: i ran hardware-driver tool but it didnt find anything | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !ppa | ice_stone | 00:45 |
| ubottu | ice_stone: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 00:45 |
| noladesi | hey are there drivers available for download for UNR??? | 00:45 |
| meganerd | phong_: my lenovo x41 worked out of the box | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip__ | noladesi: that doesnt make sense, the drivers are for the hardware, not the OS | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: No idea then. could be your card is one thats not supported by the driuvers yet. or some other oddity. | 00:45 |
| jiohdi | noladesi: like nvidia? | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | noladesi: UNR uses the same drivers as ubuntu would | 00:45 |
| phong_ | DR: i have fugitsu u810 | 00:45 |
| Syco54645 | how do i disable this notifier thing in karmic? i just installed this update and it is driving me crazy | 00:46 |
| Guest51632 | j | 00:46 |

| phong_ | everythign seeems to work but i can't u a touch screen | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: search for nvidia ppa and add the extra repo, you can then install the 195 driver | 00:46 |
| noladesi | gotcha Willis | 00:46 |
| unkmar | I was using my laptop, decided to take a name and apparently it did too. | 00:46 |
| powertool08 | Does anyone have a working samba config file which uses user-level security on a shared folder, but also allows guest to print without needing a password? | 00:46 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: yeah, somehing is wrong.. I get "Could not switch the monitor configuration. could not set the configuration for CRTC 56" whenever I run ubuntu in full screen. But it actually does run in full screen OK it seems.. Can I be doing any damage to my laptop screen? | 00:46 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: it never did this on older Ubuntu | 00:46 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, ppa thing is interesting, i'm doing that now | 00:46 |
| unkmar | I am in via ssh from another machine but only the backlight comes on for the laptop. | 00:47 |
| iflema | noladesi if ya got time/resources checkout http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/ | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: the phrase 'ubuntu in full screen' seems... odd.. what do you mean exactly by that? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip__ | powertool08: you define the allowed users in /etc/samba/smb.conf for each defined share | 00:47 |
| unkmar | it doesn't not respond to keystrokes or mouse movement. How can I reawaken this thing? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip__ | powertool08: you can set guest as allowed ok for the printers seperatel | 00:47 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip__: I haved my passworded share working, but I can't get my printer to even show up on a windows computer. | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: if its a laptop - i would check the forums for that exact model of laptop and see what others say about it | 00:48 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: running Ubuntu as guest through Virtualbox | 00:48 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: as soon as I press full screen, I get that message | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | powertool08: under windows add a network printer and give the full path to the printer share | 00:48 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip__: I have public = yes, browseable = yes, and guest ok = yes set in my printers section. | 00:48 |
| NotTooSmart | how do i determine which port on a system is the 2.0 usb ? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: Err.. i dont recall you mentionign virtualbox - for vbox the card/drivers dont matter. You install teh Virtualboxc guest addations.. and thats it.. | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | that was the first time he MENTIONED virtualbox right? :) | 00:49 |
| unkmar | apt-get install defibulator; sudo defibulate -revive-from-sleep-mode | 00:50 |
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip__: Is there not a way to make it show up in the list when browsing to add one? I'd like it to be easy for others. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip__ | powertool08: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba scroll to about 80% down, shows you the lines you need in smb.conf | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | powertool08: i recall some 'default' option in samba for default shares to show. also. | 00:50 |
| TheBigDirtyEmu | Could some one give me a hand with some bash and rTorrent/ | 00:51 |
| === AFKgoose is now known as goose | ||
| powertool08 | ActionParsnip__: Dr_Willis Thanks, I'll look into both of those. | 00:51 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, http://pastebin.com/f7de0375 that is a sample smb.conf for you | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | powertool08: i just enable the home shares and type in the actual username at the end of the share line then bookmark it :) | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | NotTooSmart: thats empty. :) | 00:52 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: Nothing loaded, but I'm not looking for a simple conf. I want to password all shares except the printer. | 00:53 |
| phong_ | DR: i got touch screen to work when i go to bios and set up as Touch Panel instead of Tablet | 00:53 |
| NotTooSmart | Dr_Willis, powertool08 um, ok nevermind then | 00:53 |
| phong_ | but then, it is not calebrate | 00:53 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: Thanks for the effort though. | 00:53 |
| phong_ | is tthere a software to calibrate fugitsu u810 ? | 00:53 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, if you want to password protect set security = user | 00:54 |
| javatexan | hey something is broke | 00:55 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: I have that set, the problem is, with security set to user instead of share, I can't share printers without a password. | 00:55 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, hrm... | 00:55 |
| phong_ | anyone know a full instruction how to install evtouch for ubuntu? | 00:56 |
| cooldeniz | jo | 00:56 |
| zetheroo | while trying to do ./configure I am getting this error: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 00:56 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, can you enable guest account for printing? | 00:56 |
| cooldeniz | jo | 00:57 |
| gkahla | zetheroo- do you have the -dev versions of xorg installed? | 00:57 |
| Necromancyr | Ok, tried the beginners channel and it seems dead so figured I might try here. Was wondering if something was possible and how, exactly, xrandx works. Basically, is it possible to use xrandx to horizontally mirror/reflect the screen and the run Windows in a virtual box and have that be reflected as well? | 00:57 |
| zetheroo | gkahla: don't know | 00:57 |
| gkahla | if you don't have the -dev version of all the various libs installed, you can't build against them... | 00:58 |
| zetheroo | gkahla: would it be xserver-xorg-dev ? | 00:58 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: It doesn't do much good. The user would still be prompted for a password because its wanting them to log in before they can see the printer. | 00:58 |
| gkahla | zetheroo- let me check | 00:58 |
| Syco54645 | how do i disable this notifier thing in karmic? i just installed this update and it is driving me crazy | 00:58 |
| phong_ | ok my last question: is it good idea to get precompile or the source then i do compile ? | 00:59 |
| Roasted | Whenever I create a group in ubuntu, then close, and try to apply the group to a folder in terminal, it says invalid group. When I go back, the group is gone. Why is this group disappearing each time I add it? | 00:59 |
| Jef91 | Howdy All - I am trying to use apt-get build-dep from a program and it is telling me "E: Build-dependencies for maxima could not be satisfied. | 00:59 |
| Jef91 | " is there a way I can have it tell me which depens it cannot get?... | 00:59 |
| mglibin | Hello all! | 00:59 |
| Necromancyr | No one? Damn it. If I have to redesign this arcade cabinet after building it I'm going to lose it. | 00:59 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: hehe ... yeah it can get a bit annoying ... | 00:59 |
| mglibin | What up? | 01:00 |
| Necromancyr | Me? Trying to understand the limitations of xrandx. :) | 01:00 |
| morphix | Necromancyr: so what is the purpose? | 01:00 |
| mglibin | Do you speak Chuvash? | 01:00 |
| zetheroo | gkahla: btw I installed that package but still get the error ... | 01:00 |
| morphix | reflecting the screen in reverse onto a mirror? | 01:00 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, are you sure its possible to view devices without logging in? | 01:00 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, any way to disable it?? | 01:01 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: Pretty sure | 01:01 |
| Necromancyr | It's a computer in an arcade cabinet that's going to run MAME. The cabinet is a mirror setup - so the player looks into a mirror to play. | 01:01 |
| Syco54645 | its really bad in my netbook... | 01:01 |
| mglibin | xcv | 01:01 |
| morphix | in gnome | 01:01 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, im looking through the docs, trying to figure it out and finding nothing | 01:01 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: there must be .. have you googled it? | 01:01 |
| mglibin | dfgdfg | 01:01 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, i have and didnt find anything... | 01:01 |
| powertool08 | Dr_Willis: The default share kinda works. It still prompts for a user/pass, but regardless of what's entered it will now show my printer share after the login fails. | 01:01 |
| Necromancyr | If I can find the appropriate front ends and emulators in linux, I'll use them instead...but right now it looks like the emu/FE software has to be in Windows...and there's NO way to mirror the output on windows for a LCD display. | 01:01 |
| morphix | in gnome there is a configure display settings panel applet | 01:01 |
| Roasted | Guys. Why is my group disappearing each time I add it. | 01:01 |
| morphix | you can right click and change the orientation | 01:02 |
| morphix | eg. upside down, to the right, to the left | 01:02 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: I know, I can find lots of documentation on passwording it, or leaving it wide open, but not to use a combination depending on the share. | 01:02 |
| noladesi1 | yo | 01:02 |
| morphix | do you need to mirror it upside down? | 01:02 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, thats what I meant .... | 01:02 |
| Necromancyr | Morphix: I don't actually have ubuntu installed. I wanted to try to understand how the flipping works so that I can make sure it will do what I need prior to spending the time on it. | 01:02 |
| Necromancyr | No - mirror left to right. | 01:02 |
| morphix | ah | 01:03 |
| Necromancyr | If you hold your monitor up into a mirror - that's what I need my video output to look like by default. | 01:03 |
| Necromancyr | I think xrandx -reflect x does this. | 01:03 |
| qualitang | Network Manager won't automatically reconnect to my wireless network after a router reboot. Ubuntu 8.10, Can some one point me in the right direction? | 01:03 |
| Johnny_425 | ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition won't detect my headphones, please help!!! | 01:03 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: in Startup applications there is an entry called Indicator applet ... you could try disabling it and re-login ... | 01:03 |
| Necromancyr | I'm willing to attempt it, but I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to ubuntu and linux in general...so I'm wondering what xrandx actually works on. If I used that, would it reflect EVERYTHING (which is desired), only certain stuff, etc. (i.e. would it reflect programs using SDL) | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: scrap that | 01:04 |
| desero | Necromancyr: you can probably try it out on the livecd without installing anything | 01:04 |
| Johnny_425 | ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition won't detect my headphones, please help!!! | 01:04 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, ok, i am not even sure what to call this thing other than annoying... | 01:04 |
| Roasted | My group I make keeps disappearing each time I add it. WHY is it just disappearing?! | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: the indicator applet is the little envelope icon on the panel ... | 01:05 |
| powertool08 | Dr_Willis: Actually, when running through the gui to add a printer, it shows up now. I guess it attempted to log in as the windows user, failed, then opened anyway. Thanks you made my day :D | 01:05 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: this is probably a service running ... | 01:05 |
| noladesi1 | yo | 01:05 |
| Necromancyr | Desero: One's downloading now. Honestly, was just curious if anyone knew about how it worked at a lower level since attempting the whole virtual box of an xp machine isn't going to be easy... (Well, it might be, but it's going to take awhile to do) | 01:05 |
| noXandOs | If used Wubi to install Ubuntu within windows would I also be able to login virtually with VirtualBox? | 01:05 |
| noladesi1 | why is there a 1 by my name | 01:05 |
| tamran | howdy everyone | 01:05 |
| noladesi1 | how do i log in to my old user. | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | noXandOs: can you clarify the question, wubi and virtualbox are seperate | 01:05 |
| tamran | I've got Kubuntu 9.10 installed and I'm finding the gtk2 apps all have bigger fonts than the kde ones. Is there any way to change this? Keep in mind, I've been all over the menus and settings (yes I found the settings for gtk fonts). | 01:06 |
| powertool08 | NotTooSmart: Seems the 'default service = $printer_share_name' line is the key. Thanks for the ideas. | 01:06 |
| noXandOs | i know | 01:06 |
| tamran | it seems like half the font types in gnome apps under kde look just right, but things like pop up menus are about 30% larger | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip__ | noXandOs: you can run virtualbox inside a wubi install | 01:06 |
| NotTooSmart | powertool08, heh i dont think I helped you but Im glad you figured it out | 01:06 |
| noXandOs | it is kind of a hard question to word, let me see | 01:06 |
| tamran | does anyone know how to fix? | 01:06 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, yeah. you would think it would be easier to disable since i assume most people do not appreciate it | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !ghost | 01:06 |

| ActionParsnip__ | noladesi1: ^ | 01:06 |
| noXandOs | what if i want to log in to my wubi installation from windows through virtualbox? | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip__ | noXandOs: its a different file structure so i doubt it will work | 01:07 |
| noladesi1 | this irc stuff is strange | 01:07 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: well I have a very high res screen so its ok ... but I would like if when i click on it that it would disappear | 01:08 |
| thermal_ | is there a way to bootstrap windows on your different virtual desktops when you start? I would also like to do the same with chrome or firefox starting windows going to particular urls on different virtual spaces and screens | 01:08 |
| phong_ | i have this problem: where can i find the package: No package 'xorg-server' found | 01:08 |

| desero | Necromancyr: I haven't used this software, but I have used the nvidia drivers to flip the image on the screen, i doubt this will be a problem | 01:09 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, my screen is pretty high res too, it is just annoying. clicking should make it go away or i should be able to set the duration... | 01:09 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: ok I am having a look around | 01:10 |
| mluser-home | any screen experts online? | 01:11 |
| marc__ | I have a HTPC running winxp, another computer running linux most of the time for web development but booting in WinXP for gaming. I want to create a file/print/torrent server in the closet with a spare computer I have. Should I go with NFS or Samba? | 01:12 |
| powertool08 | mluser-home: Not an expert but I use it some. | 01:12 |
| noladesi1 | ok | 01:12 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, if you have other things to do dont worry about it | 01:13 |
| linxeh | marc__: CIFS (samba), or do both | 01:13 |
| phong_ | how to open browser as root? | 01:13 |

| phong_ | nautilius? | 01:13 |
| linxeh | marc__: nfs is easier for unix hosts, but a PITA for Windows | 01:13 |

| marc__ | that what I thought with what I was reading... then I have a problem, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 right now (desktop) and installed Ubuntu 9.10 server in the closet, but when I try to move files (from desktop to server), nautilus crash after 4Gb... seems to be samba related but not sure how to fix that... | 01:15 |
| iflema | mluser-home man screen in a terminal | 01:15 |
| powertool08 | mluser-home: #bash is pretty good with screen if you can't find an answer here. | 01:16 |

| millertimek1a2m3 | anyone need some help? | 01:17 |
| protojay | yes millertimek1a2m3 , how do i stop ubuntu sucking? | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip__ | protojay: use the minimal install and only install what you need | 01:18 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | protojay, this is like the second joke i've gotten like that | 01:18 |
| marc__ | I have no idea how to move files across network using command line :( | 01:18 |
| iflema | millertimek1a2m3 twinview with seperate backgound images? | 01:18 |
| Necromancyr | :) Easy one. How can I get to a command line on the LiveCD version :) need to try something with xrandx | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip__ | marc__: mount the remote filesystem, then you can copy it like a local folder | 01:18 |
| Necromancyr | ...nevermind. Just found it under accessories. and I meant xrandr | 01:19 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | iflema, I've read up on that, i've had multiple monitors set up as well once, it's something that they've been trying to implement for a long time | 01:19 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | have you checked the ubuntuforums? | 01:19 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: I have a really good look through gconf-editor ... could not find anything there ... but this is a very good issue .. | 01:19 |
| iflema | millertimek1a2m3 mmm other distros have it out da box with twinview.... prob should look ito it huh | 01:19 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: have you seen this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360080 | 01:19 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | iflema, well what other distros support this out of the box? | 01:20 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | because I tried for a long time to get it working | 01:20 |
| marc__ | then how can I mount remote filesystem? I now how to do that for local drive but not on remote... any good link where I can learn that? | 01:20 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, i had back when i was trying to disable it on my netbook and it caused unr not to run... | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip__ | marc__: what is the remote share? samba? ftp? ssh? | 01:21 |
| * iflema scrap'n for memory...... mandirva2010 is one.... i think cant remember..... | 01:21 | |
| millertimek1a2m3 | iflema, there's an app in the repos called "multiple screens". it might be what you're looking for | 01:21 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, the second post that is, the third says just to remove the indicator app | 01:21 |
| iflema | good one | 01:21 |
| marc__ | default with ubuntu was samba | 01:21 |
| humble1 | have a nice day everyone :) | 01:21 |
| marc__ | when I open remote computer with Nautilus I see "smb://ubuntu-data-cent/".. | 01:21 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: yeah .. | 01:21 |
| noladesi1 | yo | 01:21 |
| Syco54645 | zetheroo, i will try that | 01:21 |

| noladesi1 | i need a link to learn about irc. | 01:22 |

| iflema | millertimek1a2m3 its really not important but if you have the time.... whats the cli command... is it twinview with seperate background images.... is it stable... does it work? | 01:24 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: seems to me that the other way to disable the notifications is to disable the specific apps from reporting their status ... | 01:24 |
| Necromancyr | Ok, now I do need help. If anyone has ever used xrandr, can you help me in figuring out how to determine what my output is for this? | 01:24 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | iflema, i think ubuntu uses xrandr have you read up on that? | 01:25 |
| zetheroo | Syco54645: for instance you can tell nm-applet to not report disconnections | 01:25 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | iflema, i don't know what you're talking about with cli command | 01:25 |

| Syco54645 | really annoying on pidgin | 01:25 |
| RocketLauncher | there's no progress bar in thunar either. i can't tell if this thing is done.. no way to show progress | 01:25 |
| meganerd | xrandr is what gnome is using to actually change screen geometry etc | 01:25 |
| iflema | millertimek1a2m3 cli = command line... apparently and ill just keep using my cut&paste 2 piece image | 01:25 |

| ActionParsnip__ | humble1: sure about what? | 01:28 |

My DVD (brand new darnit) keeps dying in the middle of the install. Is there a way to install grub for there, or at least reboot the computer and pick up from where it left off | 01:36 |
| iflema | emma some of the mainstream applications/topics have html docs that could use some lovin | 01:36 |
| daftykins | tzeentch73: have you tried running the CD check/test option? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip__ | tzeentch73: did you md5 test the ISO files youo downloaded? | 01:37 |

| Guest67140 | i want to know is ubuntu better then windows | 01:38 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | emma are you a developer? | 01:38 |
| tzeentch73 | ActionParnisp__ : yes. I even verified the CD. It verified at first, but if verify it now, it tells me that it's no good ( I don't even hear the player running). | 01:38 |

| Guest67140 | this is the first time im useing ubuntu | 01:39 |
| * olivetree oi pessoal ;) | 01:39 | |
| daftykins | Guest67140: there is no 'better' in computing, merely what does the job and what suits you as a person | 01:39 |
| Guest67140 | any on can pass on tips | 01:39 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier "in pacman <none> (no description available) | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Guest67140: theres no right answer to that, if ubuntu suits your needs closer than windows then yes. if windows gives you more of what you need, then no | 01:39 |
| tzeentch73 | ActionParsnip__ : Yes. I let it run for about 4-5 hours. It founds a few errors, but not many. | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Guest67140: it depends what you want to use your system for to if ubuntu is the tool for the job | 01:40 |
| tzeentch73 | on 8 gigs. | 01:40 |
| Guest67140 | but can you instal windows on ubuntu | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip__ | tzeentch73: sounds like your ram errors are causing the issues, you should have zero errors in the ram test | 01:40 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: roger. ok, that's a problem package then, pacman. do you know how to use auto tab-completion? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Guest67140: so you can virtualise, but you can virtualise ubuntu under windows | 01:40 |
| noXandOs | IS there a place for beginners of linux to read up? I'm new to l inux but pretty computer savvy otherwise. | 01:40 |
| daftykins | Guest67140: if you mean virtualization then yes, but you can install lots of OSs on windows and lots of OSs on Linux too | 01:40 |

| Dr_Willis | konbon: you nroamlly 'run' a .run from the terminal. not the gui | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | konbon: 'chmod +x whatever.run' then 'sudo ./whatever.run' | 02:07 |
| Gateway | I would like to know what I have to give as an answer to " what is the location of the "vwmare" program on your computer ? " :) | 02:07 |
| konbon | Dr_Willis: that's what im doing, im in terminal | 02:07 |
| konbon | but it said i had no permission | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Gateway: it installs parts where they need to go. | 02:07 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: ok, i'm reading it now... | 02:07 |
| konbon | so, i tried to log in as admin, but i got "wrong password" error | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | konbon: note teh use of the 'sudo' command | 02:07 |
| konbon | yes, tried that as well | 02:07 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier ok | 02:07 |
| konbon | still said wrong pass | 02:07 |
| konbon | anywho, its all done now | 02:08 |
| Mtn-Man | can anyone help me with bitpim | 02:08 |
| Mtn-Man | ? | 02:08 |
| Gateway | Dr_Willis, and what directory should I give to it ? /usr/vmware ? | 02:08 |
| Gateway | or /var/lib/vmware ? | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Gateway: it? give what excactly? | 02:09 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: i'll be back in a minute. i see that it's the 'inform' package that's giving you trouble | 02:09 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier yes, I saw that too | 02:09 |
| Gateway | Setup is unable to find the "vmware" program on your machine. Please make sure | 02:09 |
| Gateway | it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand? | 02:09 |
| Gateway | [yes] | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Gateway: what setup program? | 02:10 |
| Gateway | of vmware server | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | try 'which vmware' or whatever vmware command you use. I dont use vmware. I perfer virtualbox | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !vmware | 02:10 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 02:10 |
| konbon | buh, now my X is pooped | 02:10 |
| Gateway | and I don't know why it gives such thing ? because I'm just trying to install it | 02:11 |
| konbon | screen went all pink and green | 02:11 |
| konbon | meh, back to Debian, this Ubuntu is for the kids :P | 02:11 |
| konbon | Thanks anyways, peace | 02:11 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: ok, i'm back | 02:12 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier ok | 02:13 |
| desero | Gateway, how are you trying to install it? | 02:13 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: you could try making that directory that it says is missing and then see if the package will proceed to install | 02:13 |
| desero | and also, why not use virtual box? | 02:13 |
| Gateway | desero, I've downloaded the .tar.gz file | 02:13 |
| Gateway | then I've tried to run the script .pl | 02:13 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier : sorry let me see i'll be right back | 02:14 |
| Gateway | I guess it's in perl | 02:14 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: if you want to try that then do the following --> sudo mkdir /usr/bin/inform-6.31 && sudo dpkg --configure inform | 02:14 |
| NanoGuy | just joking | 02:15 |
| Gateway | it asked me if I agree with the licence ... but it stops here and asks me to give it the location of the vmware program on my machine | 02:15 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: ok | 02:15 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier : Setting up inform (6.31.1+dfsg-1) ... | 02:15 |
| alan_ | update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/inform-6.31 to provide /usr/bin/inform (inform) in auto mode. | 02:15 |

| desero | Gateway, are you trying to install the vmware service? | 02:15 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: ah-ha! | 02:15 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: :-) | 02:15 |
| Gateway | desero, I'm trying to install the vmware server | 02:16 |
| Gateway | yes | 02:16 |
| desero | Gateway, yes, server sorry | 02:16 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier let me try synaptic | 02:16 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: roger | 02:16 |
| R1kARD0 | hello | 02:17 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier :) yep Roger that, that's got it! | 02:18 |
| Gateway | I got back to the extracted vmware file | 02:18 |
| R1kARD0 | i have a little trouble, when i log in to my ubuntu session the only thing that appear is a terminal | 02:18 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: awesome! enjoy :) | 02:18 |
| phong_ | how to install evtouch in ubuntu | 02:18 |
| Gateway | and after typing ls -l I got this thing : vmware-install.pl -> bin/vmware-uninstall-mui.pl | 02:18 |
| phong_ | i'm reallly stuck | 02:18 |
| R1kARD0 | no windows border, nothing, no pannels | 02:18 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier I appreciate the help | 02:18 |
| R1kARD0 | anyone know anything about it? | 02:18 |
| Nafri_ | does anybody knows how can i delete the gnome panel? | 02:18 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: you're welcome | 02:18 |
| Nafri_ | i can't delete the last panel | 02:19 |
| Gateway | and there is a file called bin | 02:19 |
| Nafri_ | the option is disabled | 02:19 |
| petsounds | Nafri_, why? you only have one panel? | 02:19 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: are you still here? | 02:20 |
| desero | Gateway, I haven't installed vmware, but that looks like a symlink to an uninstall file, which I don't understand | 02:20 |
| Nafri_ | petsounds : i am using awn manager now... so i want to remove the gnome-panel | 02:20 |
| Gateway | desero, ok thanks anyway :) | 02:21 |
| desero | Gateway, and just to make sure, is there some special reason you are using vmware server instead of virtualbox? because that would be far simpler | 02:21 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: i saw what might be a slight issue with the 'inform' install, that warning you got might be a slight issue, but probably not a huge deal | 02:21 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier yes? | 02:21 |
| Gateway | desero, because I would like to access to windows from linux | 02:21 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: you should run a command about that warning message.. one moment | 02:21 |
| desero | Gateway, you can to that with virtualbox | 02:21 |
| Gateway | there are many programs that I'm obliged to use :s | 02:21 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: just so you know, i'm talking about this warning message --> update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/bin/inform with a link. | 02:22 |
| desero | Gateway, if you just type "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" in the terminal, you will have installed virtualbox in a few minutes | 02:22 |
| Gateway | desero, I know but there are other reasons for that :s | 02:23 |
| desero | and setting up windows through virtualbox is very simple | 02:23 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier ok | 02:23 |
| desero | oh, okay | 02:23 |
| Gateway | the company is using vmware | 02:23 |
| Gateway | and I have to learn things about this program | 02:23 |
| onetinsoldier | alan_: you can check it out a little bit with the follwing command --> sudo update-alternatives --display inform | 02:24 |
| Gateway | I guess you undertand the situation, desero :) | 02:24 |
| petsounds | Nafri_, i don't think you can. but i might be wrong. | 02:24 |
| alan_ | onetinsoldier okay pasting to paste bin | 02:24 |

| onetinsoldier | alan_: show me the output of --> ls -l /usr/bin/inform | 02:26 |
| phong_ | question: in ubuntu is there a file call /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:26 |
| phong_ | how come i can't fine it? | 02:27 |

| desero | Gateway, sure there is not an option, maybe just write "default" as a parameter or something | 02:28 |
| kh_ | Guys, anyone know how to install Flash 9 instead of 10? | 02:28 |
| desero | Gateway, oh, and btw, are you installing the program as root? | 02:28 |

| === tiago is now known as Guest41377 | ||
| edbian | kh_, You're gonna have to get it from the website. I suspect there is a .deb that you can install though. Be weary. Ubuntu likes to have 1 and only 1 instance of a flash player installed. If you have more than 1 none of them work (or something else strange happens) | 02:39 |
| mgrotte | amy_ right click on network manager in task bar and make sure enable wireless is checked | 02:39 |

| mgrotte | how do you restart a service on bootup? | 02:43 |
| kh_ | What webcam program do you guys use? | 02:43 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i'm still waiting on finger key progress | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | EntityReborn: you could proberly mount them manually with some options.. | 02:44 |
| shadmego | I do have a question for you Ubuntu experts if you have some time | 02:44 |
| hexflapsh | shoot | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | EntityReborn: but still you should properly unmount the things | 02:44 |
| edbian | mgrotte, Why do you want to restart it? Why not start it on boot up? or choose not to start it on boot up?? | 02:44 |
| EntityReborn | blah | 02:44 |
| shadmego | First, let me say I hold a RHCT, so I'm not completely clueless in matters of Linux | 02:44 |
| kh_ | how do you guys get your cams working through MSN? | 02:44 |
| EntityReborn | I was hoping for some switch or setting | 02:44 |
| shadmego | This past weekend, I gave a presentation on Linux and Ubuntu to about 60 people. Some of them have since tried to install Ubuntu in a dual boot environment | 02:44 |
| hexflapsh | Aight... | 02:45 |
| scunizi | yes? | 02:45 |
| mgrotte | how do you restart a service right after boot without user intervention?? server 9.10 | 02:45 |
| shadmego | Grub has set the default OS to Ubuntu, but my clients want the default to be Windows Vista | 02:45 |
| shadmego | Everything is fine. I tell them how to edit the menu.lst file to make Windows the default | 02:45 |
| happy_ | mgrotte: what do you mean restart it? | 02:45 |
| filloy | hello everyone!. I've been having problems with my external fat32 hdd. Some folders are now detected as "program", and the MIME Type is "application/octet-stream" instead of "inode/directory". I've tried sudo fsck.vfat -arv but nothing changes. Any help is appreciated. | 02:45 |
| desero | mgrott, you could use cron | 02:45 |
| happy_ | mgrotte: why would you want to restart it on boot? | 02:46 |
| shadmego | They tell me this evening that the menu.lst file doesn't exist. When they try to open it in gedit, it is a blank file | 02:46 |
| scunizi | shadmego: editing grub you can place the window boot first.. however ubuntu uses grub2 which is different from editing menu.lst.. | 02:46 |
| mgrotte | edbian_ i have installed adito ssl vpn and you cannot log into it after reboot unless you restart the service, comes back invalid login | 02:46 |
| shadmego | this has me a bit stumped | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mgrotte: you could put the command in /etc/rc.local | 02:46 |
| shadmego | hmmm | 02:46 |
| scunizi | !grub2 | shadmego this will help.. | 02:46 |
| ubottu | shadmego this will help..: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 02:46 |
| desero | mgrotte: man cron :) | 02:46 |
| happy_ | mgrotte: I would put the command to restart it in rc.local | 02:46 |
| shadmego | thanks ubottu. That is exactly what I was looking for | 02:46 |
| plcTowlie | hi everyone, i'm trying to backup my wifes ubuntu pc to update it, and the .gvfs directory is reporting it uses >60gb is this normal? | 02:46 |
| EntityReborn | ... | 02:46 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, if i get "gpgkeys: key 0CDE6466 not found on keyserver | 02:47 |
| ice_stone | gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found." does that means i do it wrong or they're still processing? | 02:47 |
| EntityReborn | lol | 02:47 |
| happy_ | desero: not cron. | 02:47 |
| scunizi | shadmego: that was me.. ubottu is a bot :) | 02:47 |
| edbian | mgrotte, It is probably starting before the networking is my guess. In any case. You could write a script that first "sleep 10" and then restarts your service. Place it in /etc/init.d/ make it executable and then link to it in rc2.d/ | 02:47 |
| kh_ | In aMSN I can see my webcam but the other person can't | 02:47 |
| desero | happy_: why not? | 02:47 |
| plcTowlie | i discovered it when i just drug the /home directory over to a network backup and it said so much files were going to be copied | 02:47 |
| shadmego | opps. When I say ubottu, I mean scunizi .... | 02:47 |
| mgrotte | I have tried the rc.local thing with no sucess, I added the line "/etc/init.d/adito restart" and it did not work | 02:47 |
| happy_ | desero: He only wants to restart it on boot. It would be annoying if it restarted while someone was using it | 02:47 |
| === Bananaburger` is now known as Bananaburger | ||
| desero | happy_: he can do that | 02:48 |
| scunizi | shadmego: common error :) . no problem... how did you get 60 people together to do a presentation? | 02:48 |
| edbian | mgrotte, I think you just don't understand how it works. All of the scripts are in /etc/init.d/ | 02:48 |
| * olivetree voltei ;) | 02:48 | |
| Dr_Willis | mgrotte: perhaps do 'service whatever restart' | 02:48 |
| shadmego | It's a local computer user group. | 02:48 |
| edbian | mgrotte, Then you create links to them in rcX.d so that they are run depending on what run level is entered | 02:48 |
| shadmego | We did presentation on Windows 7, Mac and Linux | 02:48 |
| Idad | hello.. can anyone help me with wireless driver reinstall problem... i got script error... "Exec format error" | 02:48 |
| scunizi | shadmego: through your work? or private endevour? | 02:49 |
| mgrotte | I will try it, be right back, I'm ssh'ed into the server | 02:49 |
| shadmego | Private endevour. | 02:49 |
| mediaprodigy | looking for an app like MZC OSX xFactor | 02:49 |
| scunizi | shadmego: nice.. keep it up! no matter what distro linux needs more exposure | 02:49 |
| shadmego | thanks! I made 3 copies of Ubuntu and 3 of Kubuntu. All copies were gone before the end of the meeting ... | 02:50 |
| EntityReborn | lol | 02:51 |
| scunizi | shadmego: I've been using gnome for several years.. just started using Kubuntu and I find I am liking kde 4.3+ quite a bit | 02:51 |
| EntityReborn | UBUNTU MAKERS should distribute 1GB flashdrives of the live cd | 02:51 |
| shadmego | I spoke some about the ways in which Linux is better than Windows/Mac. I gave a bit of a run down on why kinds of things you can do with Linux, but mostly, I stressed the community and freedom you get with Linux | 02:51 |
| mgrotte | what is the difference between /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local | 02:51 |
| shadmego | I have Kubuntu installed on my desktop, but I don't get to use it very much | 02:51 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: you could do that too and charge for the cost of the flashdrive and labor | 02:52 |
| shadmego | etc/init.d/rc.local is used as the default for all users | 02:52 |
| shadmego | oh way | 02:52 |
| EntityReborn | true, but as an alternative to the CD request on the site | 02:52 |
| shadmego | I didn't finish reading your question | 02:52 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: cd's are cheaper | 02:53 |
| EntityReborn | would be a slick thing to distribute flashdrives instead of CDs at meetings | 02:53 |
| dorkface | !repartitioning | 02:53 |
| shadmego | a bit more expensive though | 02:54 |
| EntityReborn | scunizi, 1GB drives aren't much more, but yes, you are right | 02:54 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: you could do 2 gigers and include the windows installs for OOo, Pidgeon, Gimp, Scribus etc.. so there will be added value.. :) | 02:54 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: might be worth $20 to those attending. | 02:55 |
| ymanton | having a problem with fast-user-switch-applet on karmic. i installed the pkg and it appears checked in system->preferences->startup applications but its not on the panel, and its not in the panel->add menu | 02:55 |
| pac1 | I have an initramfs from sabayon on /boot. update-grub says it found it, but it does not get added to grub.cfg. Is there some configuration needed to use initramfs along side initrd's? | 02:55 |
| EntityReborn | scunizi, true | 02:55 |
| shadmego | who asked the question about the difference between rc.local files? | 02:56 |
| EntityReborn | also, is there a way to get a bunch of live cd's side by side on one partition? | 02:56 |
| mediaprodigy | what is a good P2p App? | 02:56 |

| mediaprodigy | EntityReborn: what app do you use for torrents on Ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| F223 | hey, can someone help me install ubuntu? | 02:58 |

| {chmod}755 | F223, What's up? | 02:58 |
| EntityReborn | mediaprodigy, I use the default, transmission, but there are tonnes out there | 02:58 |

| EntityReborn | mediaprodigy, ktorrent isn't so bad | 02:58 |
| EntityReborn | eww, vuse | 02:58 |
| shadmego | Well, I gotta go finish answering a couple of responses from new Ubuntu users. | 02:59 |
| shadmego | Thanks for the help! | 02:59 |

| pac1 | use apt-get install gftp | 03:00 |
| mediaprodigy | EntityReborn: not very familiar with Ubuntu yet.. will check out the default transmission | 03:00 |

| apipkin | i'll give it a shot though. thanks pac1 | 03:00 |
| pac1 | apipkin, if you have a fast pipe that is. | 03:00 |

| kentrel | Hi, I've got two monitors. For some reason I can't drag items from one monitor to the other. How do I fix this, or at least be able to send them over? | 03:02 |

| === root is now known as Guest65291 | ||

| bonelifer | Does WOL require a hard wired connection or will it work with the wireless connection. The router is a WRT54GL with Tomato 1.27(I think that's the version) firmware. The card, I don't have the name of off hand since I just ordered it. | 03:03 |
| mediaprodigy | onetinsoldier: thanks | 03:03 |
| scunizi | linux: sure.. it's a live cd with lots of tools.. there are others out there too.. no need to pay for one. | 03:03 |
| t1n0m3n | kentrel: what video card are you using? | 03:03 |
| desero | apipkin: i think you can do this simply with nautilus | 03:03 |

| EntityReborn | Is it possible to multiboot live CDs on a flash drive? | 03:14 |
| sile | well, that's the problem of reverse engineering I suppose | 03:14 |
| EntityReborn | Say, if I wanted to boot both Fedora and Ubuntu from one device | 03:15 |
| iflema | EntityRebourn yes... but not sure if its automated.... ya might have to get a little dirty | 03:15 |
| EntityReborn | hm | 03:15 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: if it's big enough maybe.. perhaps manually configuring grub.. but you might not need to .. 4 gigs will get you 4 live installs ... hopefully | 03:15 |
| sile | going to sleep, good night/whatever dudes! | 03:15 |
| EntityReborn | scunizi, that's what I'm hoping | 03:15 |
| iflema | EntityRebourn grub2 | 03:16 |
| EntityReborn | I was thinking, 4 seperate partitions, then grub it, but I haven't the slightest idea on how to pull that off | 03:16 |

| Necromancyr | ...what does it mean when xrandr tells you you can't do...well...anything...with a particular output | 03:16 |
| Necromancyr | Am I using it wrong or...CAN an output not be usable with xrandr. | 03:17 |
| scunizi | Necromancyr: it typically means that the resolution you need isn't yet registered with xrandr.. xrandr docs will tell you how to do that. | 03:18 |
| TASagent | Hey, is anyone available & willing to help me get my wireless card up and running on a new install on a Dell laptop? I would really appreciate the help. | 03:18 |
| Necromancyr | Scun, I'm trying to do a reflect. It's only one output that comes up as default...I'm assuming I can use xrandr --output default --reflect x. I get an error saying rotate/reflect not usuable on output default (or something close to that) | 03:19 |

| javatexan | is there a way to programatically add items and remove them from the panel, I am on ubuntu 9.10 gnome | 03:20 |
| scunizi | Necromancyr: not sure about that.. but if you type xrandr in a terminal and the resolution you need isn't listed it won't work.. you'll need to add the resolution. | 03:20 |
| Necromancyr | Ok. Let me run down and check that and see if that's the issue. | 03:20 |
| EntityReborn | scunizi, would you know any guides on how to do what I want? | 03:22 |
| Idad | hello.. can anyone help me with wireless driver reinstall problem... i got script error... "Exec format error" | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip__ | javatexan: i think if you create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications then it will be added | 03:22 |
| EntityReborn | and if the seperate partitions was the way to go? | 03:22 |
| yeason | is there a file in which I can set global cflags? I think I need to enable one in order to compile something | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip__ | yeason: you could use ~/.bashrc | 03:23 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: nope.. but what I would try is to partition the flash drive in 4 equal parts.. install the first distro in partition 1, the second in partition 2 then test boot and see if grub gives you the choice between the two.. if it works proceed with 3 & 4 | 03:23 |
| javatexan | I am having sooooo much trouble with the notification area...I often have to remove it and then add it to the panel again. I was hoping that I could write a quick script that would do it for me | 03:24 |
| scunizi | EntityReborn: remember that the last install will write and control grub | 03:24 |
| EntityReborn | scunizi, ok, will do, once Fedora finishes downloading | 03:24 |

| jzxu | guys, why doesn't this command redirect where I expect it to? | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip__ | yeason: not that i know of | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip__ | yeason: could try asing in #C++ | 03:27 |
| jzxu | for i in `seq 10`; do echo $i &>/tmp/arst; done | 03:27 |
| jzxu | it's printing all the numbers out onto console | 03:27 |
| jzxu | instead of putting them into /tmp/arst | 03:27 |
| Necromancyr | So...aside from resolution, anyone have any ideas for while xrandr would refuse to work? | 03:28 |
| abumaia | jzxu: isn't it doing both? | 03:28 |

| Necromancyr | ActionPArsnio__: Sorry, kind of a newb. I clicked on the icon to install the proprietary driver....yes. I think that was the latest one. | 03:29 |
| jzxu | is there some strange default setting ubuntu has for bash? | 03:29 |
| noladesi | Is there a reason why it won't let me partition my HD via the windows partitioner. The HD has nothing on it. | 03:30 |

| Freeaqingme | Hi. Every time I reboot my server (not planning on doing that a lot, but still...) I need execute `/etc/init.d/networking restart` before the networking works. Any idea how come, and how to fix? | 03:37 |
| ouyes | abumaia, you have used the idle option, when the computer is idle, the screensaver will be active | 03:38 |
| scunizi | Freeaqingme: you might ask in #ubuntu-server as well | 03:38 |
| Freeaqingme | hmm, tnx | 03:38 |
| ouyes | Flipz, any luck , any process | 03:38 |
| abumaia | ouyes: the activate screensaver when computer is idle option is unchecked | 03:39 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i'm on 64bit utunbu so does it matter what one i am getting? | 03:39 |
| ouyes | Flipz, any advance | 03:39 |
| Flipz | UHM | 03:39 |
| abumaia | ouyes: plus, the idle timeout for screensaver is 2 hours, so I'm relatively certain it's not the screensaver | 03:39 |
| mgrotte1 | How do you browse your network with nautilus? I can see the workgroup name but I keep getting unable to mount when I try to browse the workgroup. If you enter the share manually with smb://ip it works fine. | 03:39 |
| Flipz | Errr not rly | 03:39 |
| ksnp | i am trying to automatically delete email sent to root by some jobs, periodically, any suggestions ? | 03:39 |
| ouyes | abumaia, and put display to sleep unchecked? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: the arch will be managed, just install the 195 driver | 03:40 |
| AsoSako | _mgrotte1 usually different computers on ur workgrouop are identified and you enter them individually | 03:40 |
| abumaia | ouyes: put display to sleep options in both ac and battery sections set to Never | 03:40 |
| moreia | I had an improved clock and calendar on my Karmic gnome panel. It had a weather widget attached to it and I could set a couple of locations. I deleted it somehow (I know how. I clicked "remove this panel." But I didn't mean to.) and now I can't figure out how to get it back. It isn't among the options when I select "add." It was a recent addition, though i can't remember if I got it via Karmic or Gnome DO. | 03:41 |
| moreia | I'm hoping that this is simple. I can't figure out how to search the forums for it. | 03:41 |
| === Flipz_ is now known as Flipz | ||
| mgrotte1 | AsoSako_ it seems pointless to put a network tab in nautilus if it does not work. This feature used to work in older versions like 8 | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip__ | mgrotte1: in te address bar type: smb://servername to access the shares on servername | 03:43 |
| abumaia | I think I've found all the obvious settings for keeping the monitor on, so I'm wondering if there are any other less obvious options I need to use | 03:43 |
| ouyes | abumaia, what is the situation you are encountering, a few minuets the screen took off ? | 03:43 |
| abumaia | ouyes: it seems to be after 30 minutes idle, the screen turns off | 03:44 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i get Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: nvidia-195-kernel-source (>= 195.30) | 03:44 |
| ice_stone | ?? | 03:44 |
| ouyes | abumaia, tell me your pc 's type and module | 03:44 |
| petsounds | moreia, do you want to reset your panels to default? | 03:44 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: do you have that binary driver installed? | 03:45 |
| abumaia | ouyes: dell inspiron laptop, not sure what you mean by module | 03:45 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, not sure | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: looks like you'll need to find the source somewhere, i'd imagined it'd be on the ppa | 03:45 |
| mgrotte1 | why does the network option not let you browse network pc's anymore. It worked in 9.04 until nautilus had a update that broke this feature and has not worked since. Seem pointless if I have to remember all my network machines name and use smb://name to access files. | 03:45 |
| ouyes | abumaia, for example acer 5520g (5520g | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: have you websearched the error? | 03:45 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: you would know.. you'd have to download it from nvidia and manually install it. | 03:45 |
| abumaia | ouyes: no separate monitor, it's a laptop | 03:46 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: if you installed the driver supplied by ubuntu that I believe is version 185.xx | 03:46 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, i but i am trying to get my 1024x768 at least 100hz it support up to 120hz | 03:47 |
| ouyes | abumaia, i know make sure the bios has a proper power settings | 03:47 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, thats what resolution is supported at by my crt monitor | 03:47 |
| abumaia | ouyes: yes, I've checked bios, there are no monitor power management settings | 03:47 |
| ouyes | abumaia, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 03:48 |
| abumaia | 9.10 | 03:48 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: so the resolution is ok.. it's just the refresh rate you're trying to improve? | 03:48 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, exactly | 03:48 |
| ouyes | abumaia, what is the bios type of your lap Phonex? | 03:48 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, i have been trying to force 120hz but looks like Ubuntu won't let me | 03:49 |
| guang | h | 03:49 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: is there a specific reason other than "I want it too"? | 03:49 |
| ouyes | abumaia, your bios type? | 03:49 |
| abumaia | ouyes: checking, just a minute | 03:50 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, I live on 120hz for gaming | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: sudo apt-get install nvidia-195-kernel-source | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: also: sudo apt-get install libvdpau-dev | 03:51 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: then you might need to install the binary driver from nvidia to bring it up to current beta level.. you'll have to do some reading though on nvidia's site to see if that will happen with that driver and your specific card.. perhaps your card won't support it? | 03:51 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, oh my card support that | 03:51 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: then look into the latest driver.. | 03:52 |
| mr_frostee | . | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: maybe its supported under windows but not linux | 03:53 |
| ouyes | abumaia, Award BIOS,PHOENIX or what? i am quite sure about one thing ,in the bios settings, there is always power management option excepet the OEM special bios,careless | 03:53 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, if i can get it to work at 1152x864 with 100hz why can't i get 100hz on 1024x768? | 03:54 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: it may also be an xrandr setting you need to change | 03:54 |
| abumaia | ouyes: I'm not sure exactly which BIOS it is, however there is a power management section in the BIOS, however it only regulates Wake From USB | 03:54 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, xrandr setting, oh yes please.. can you help me with this one? | 03:55 |
| ouyes | ouyes, there are few bugs reported involving monitor issues, | 03:55 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: not much.. every time I need to change something I have to google for the answer.. it's still a foreign service to me. | 03:55 |
| jiohdi | abumaia: BIOS is a program built into a chip that controls how your computer will boot up | 03:55 |
| ouyes | abumaia, there are few bugs reported involving monitor issues, | 03:55 |
| abumaia | jiohdi: yes, I know ^_^ | 03:55 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, i have been googling all day | 03:56 |
| tpocra | Anyone know how to use software RAID mdadm to turn a hot spare into an active part of the array? | 03:56 |
| abumaia | ouyes: ok, I'll have a look around the bug reports then, see if I have the same issues. Thanks ^_^ | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: then use the 1152x864 | 03:56 |
| ice_stone | scunizi, i wish there is simple command to add 120hz to my 1024x768 resolution... | 03:56 |
| Necromancyr | ...Interesting. I got xrandr to work for rotating with the Nvidia drivers but it doesn't work with reflect. Which is what I need. | 03:56 |
| ice_stone | 1152x864 too slow | 03:57 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i want 125fps with 120hz or 100hz and its smooth like silk.. | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: i'd suggest getting the 195 driver sorted, you may need to find a deb for the driver source which seems missing | 03:57 |
| ouyes | abumaia, give the bios screen a careful look you will find the bios type, and check again your lap have proper power management settings | 03:57 |
| Necromancyr | Anyone know if theres a way to just use stock drivers with a video card - nothing propietary - so the card just works like a VGA card and always works with the reflect option for xrandr? | 03:57 |
| scunizi | ice_stone: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=121408 and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=125698 might help.. my first google attempt | 03:58 |
| ouyes | abumaia, i do not think this is a bug | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: your brain can't process above about 40, its not fast enough | 03:58 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i need 125 fps for quakelive.com | 03:58 |
| ouyes | abumaia, it is your bug, most likely your carelessness | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: you really wont notice it' | 03:58 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, quakelive.com support linux now and i really want to be playing it | 03:58 |
| tundrayeti311 | any openGL experts, or can point me to channel? | 03:58 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, I am professial gamer | 03:59 |
| JohninLex | I have a 32 inch screen is there a way I can divide it into 4 eight screens, the reason is that everything blurry, does anyone know what I am talking about? | 03:59 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, i can tell big different between 85hz and 120hz | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: your brain isnt chemically fast enough to process that level of image cahnge | 03:59 |
| ouyes | abumaia, check again, both the screensaver and the power management settings | 03:59 |
| ouyes | abumaia, and the bios settings | 03:59 |
| EntityReborn | Trying to install grub2 onto my usb drive, to boot ISOs, but using grub-install --root-directory=/media/Multi/ /dev/sdb I get grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map. | 04:00 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, its not about brain, its about combo of mouse spin and fps/hz all mixed | 04:00 |
| ouyes | abumaia, do tell me how things are going ,ok? | 04:00 |
| JohninLex | EntityReborn, have you tried unetbootin? | 04:01 |
| Necromancyr | Crap...no one on the reflect issue? Damn this sucks. | 04:01 |
| abumaia | ouyes: I have been checking and rechecking the screensaver and power management settings multiple times already. That is why I came here to ask about it. According to the settings as they are now, the screen should stay on indefinitely, but it is still being turned off after 30 minutes idle. | 04:01 |
| EntityReborn | JohninLex, my ultimate end would be multibooting various ISOs/LiveCDs from my flash, but yes, I have tried unetbootin. | 04:01 |
| scunizi | Necromancyr: you might ask in ##linux | 04:01 |
| ouyes | abumaia, by the way, when you encountered this issue, what task you were doing? | 04:02 |
| Necromancyr | I shall. Was using Ubuntu so figured this place would be better :/ | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: well you'll be struggling and banging your head til you get it nice, or you can use your system and get on with life. i cant recomend anything else except the 195 driver.personally i think you are wasting your time | 04:02 |
| abumaia | ouyes: I was doing nothing, the computer was idle when the screen turned off | 04:02 |
| Necromancyr | ...that and I can't seem to get INTO that damn channel. | 04:02 |
| JohninLex | ok I know how to get one to boot not 2 on a jumpdrive sorry | 04:02 |
| abumaia | ouyes: against its settings | 04:02 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, well i can always dual boot to xp just to play quakelive and then dual back into here to surf and watch movies and everything else... i hate dual booting :( | 04:03 |
| scunizi | Necromancyr: normally you'd be right but when unusual questions result in no answer I go there.. should be able to /join ##linux to get in | 04:03 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, the VLC player is so much in linux for me | 04:03 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, *better | 04:03 |
| Necromancyr | Might just be slow (using chatzilla)...ton of people so...guessing it's loading all the names. | 04:03 |
| jiohdi | Necromancyr: do you have a nick registered with nickserv? | 04:03 |
| Necromancyr | Yup. | 04:04 |
| DiegoYes | Oi. : > | 04:04 |
| scunizi | Necromancyr: irssi | 04:04 |
| Necromancyr | Ack. Nope...just forwards me to overvloew | 04:04 |

| JohninLex | I have a 32 inch screen is there a way I can divide it into 4 eight screens, the reason is that everything blurry, does anyone know what I am talking about? | 04:04 |
| Necromancyr | Grrr.... | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: or multi-core | 04:04 |
| ravic | Hi, I am running ubuntu on my mac book 5.3. Sound was working fine till last night dont know what happened all of sudden. No sound now. Followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Karmic | 04:04 |
| ouyes | abumaia, it is strange , there maybe three causes for this issue, 1 bios setting( though small possibility since you checked again and again)2 some software affected the power management function 3 bugs(very small possibility) | 04:05 |
| ravic | No luck either. Any suggestions? | 04:05 |
| ravic | please | 04:05 |
| Goilio | Hi, is their any way I can use my spare laptop as a third screen for my current setup? | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: mplayer can use multiple cores / cpus if you install the better compiled one or compile it yourself for multiple threads | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Goilio: can use vnc I guess | 04:05 |
| JohninLex | ravic, , sudo apt-get remove ubuntu | sudo apt-get install Debian | 04:05 |
| Goilio | ActionParsnip__: That would still give me one of my two screens not a third | 04:06 |
| happy_ | JohninLex: I am getting an error. Upgrading is not allowed. | 04:06 |
| ice_stone | ActionParsnip__, that sounds nice. I guess i stuck to xp for quakelive.com and stuck movies on linux os | 04:06 |
| bastid_raZor | JohninLex: you can not pipe apt-get in that way | 04:06 |
| ouyes | abumaia, is this quite a big issue for you in you daily use of your lap? | 04:06 |
| abumaia | ouyes: I agree. I have checked the obvious settings, so I was asking if there are less obvious settings somewhere. Would Wine take over display controls? | 04:06 |
| Necromancyr | Grrr... | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ice_stone: quake live runs fine on my 75hz 1280x1024 screen, try it, you'll find it ok | 04:07 |
| Necromancyr | Stupid nickserv | 04:07 |
| JohninLex | happy_, have you tried doing it in an terminal | 04:07 |
| ravic | JohninLex: what exactly u mean? | 04:07 |
| abumaia | ouyes: no, not a big issue. Just a matter of my computer not acting the way I tell it to work. | 04:07 |
| TommyB | anyone in here care to lend a hand? | 04:07 |
| happy_ | JohninLex: huh? I am talking about when I typed in your command to upgrade to debian :-P | 04:07 |

| ActionParsnip__ | Goilio: i think theres a vnc app where as you move the cursor off one system, it arrives on the desktop of another. let me see if i can find the name, chris prillo reviewed it | 04:07 |
| JohninLex | ravic, it was a good joke against Ubuntu, I wanted to get some heat from it but that never happed lol | 04:08 |

| happy_ | JohninLex: I supported you :-P | 04:08 |
| ice_stone | OK i gotta GO | 04:08 |
| abumaia | ouyes: there's a discrepancy between settings and actions. It's a little problem that I personally would like to fix, though it's not a major issue. | 04:08 |
| JohninLex | sorry happy_ I missed that | 04:09 |
| ouyes | abumaia, ok then we can stop here, good luck. | 04:09 |

| TommyB | how can I install grub | 04:09 |
| JohninLex | I really thought you had a problem, but I can help you install Debian if you like | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Yashy: make sure the onboard video supports having dual displays, some dont like it, or the extra card will need to be set as primary | 04:10 |

| mobidroid | Hi, is there any way to have two monitor using nvidia xinerama and be able to play opengl game with a working mouse? | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wolter: you can use dd to write zeroes to the partition | 04:13 |
| JohninLex | wolter, are you using gparted? | 04:13 |
| mobidroid | my mouse location is always screwed :( sniff sniff | 04:13 |
| Virtual | Is ubuntu installed with wubi any different than if I install it myself from a dvd?\ | 04:13 |
| JohninLex | yes Virtual it is | 04:13 |
| Virtual | JohninLex, how so ? | 04:14 |
| JohninLex | with wubi it installs inside of windows, and adds a MBR to the boot | 04:14 |
| wolter | JohninLex, yes; ActionParsnip__ can you explain further? | 04:14 |
| Virtual | JohninLex, i know that, i mean any different inside the os? | 04:14 |
| troopperi | wolter: have you unmounted it before try format? | 04:15 |
| mobidroid | anyone here is using dual monitor and a fixed the mouse issue in xinerama? | 04:15 |
| === r4ban is now known as giskard | ||
| JohninLex | as far of the OS no there the same Virtual | 04:15 |
| wolter | troopperi, of course, without unmounting I cannot format it, not with gparted | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wolter: assuming the partition is /dev/sdc1 (your may be different so check): sudo umount /dev/sdc1; sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wolter: this will write zeroes to the whole partition | 04:16 |
| wolter | ActionParsnip__, and erase the whole thing consequently? | 04:16 |

| obliv|on | Does anyone in here know about turnkey linux? | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wolter: remount the partition, ten check | 04:21 |

| ubottu | obliv|on: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:22 |
| wolter | ActionParsnip__, well.. the odd partition is still alive | 04:22 |
| wolter | and the other one just does not appear, I guess because it has no format | 04:22 |
| snoopy_ | hmm can some one help me | 04:22 |
| obliv|on | turnkey is based on ubuntu so how is that offtopic? | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | snoopy_ | 04:22 |
| ubottu | snoopy_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:22 |
| wolter | ActionParsnip__, maybe I should do it to sdb and not to sdb1 ? | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip__ | obliv|on: its not an official release by canonical so is not supported here | 04:22 |
| mobidroid | snoppy_: switch your fonts to black, mine are white no one can read me... | 04:22 |
| johntramp | hi i am trying to run the arduino ide and am getting this error. java/lang/ClassNotFoundException: error in opening JAR file /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar | 04:22 |
| johntramp | it was working fine not long ago | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip__ | obliv|on: many Linux releases are based on ubuntu and are equally not supported here | 04:23 |
| snoopy_ | well i really dont know what it is, its a little ram thingy i think and hu idk how to put it :| | 04:23 |
| mobidroid | at least a little : we have no idea go elswhere would have been appreciated ;) | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wolter: try it dude | 04:23 |
| wolter | TommyB, have you tried installing grub through grub-install from a live CD ? | 04:23 |
| mobidroid | snoppy_: good we have a first keyword memory | 04:23 |
| iflema | TommyB did you drop a new partition in front of the resize? reinstalling grub from a live cd will 4 sure get back windows. or the windows install disc is capable of that also. | 04:23 |
| snoopy_ | its PC3200U-30330 | 04:24 |
| mobidroid | snoopy_: its a hardware issue? | 04:24 |

| drbe4t | oh no ubotto i just need it for a ipod video | 04:50 |

| F223 | hey, I just installed Ubuntu, what're some cool things I can do off the bat? | 04:56 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Get Compiz Fusion immeditely. | 04:56 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Go, now! | 04:56 |
| F223 | yeah, I got that :) | 04:56 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, fail | 04:56 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Haha | 04:56 |
| Tamnakz | f223 instead of alt+tab to shift windows, hit the 'windows sign'+tab | 04:56 |
| scunizi | F223: rip dvd's, start a web server, play with the special effects | 04:56 |
| Tamnakz | :D | 04:56 |
| {chmod}755 | Compiz is resource heavy and can make a computer freeze so fast it's not even funny | 04:56 |
| Gh0st_Note- | No, not fail | 04:56 |
| F223 | oh cool | 04:56 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Working fine for me | 04:56 |
| F223 | I've got grood hardware, if it fails, though, I'll stop using it | 04:57 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Got the "sphere" going and all. | 04:57 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for the rest of us. | 04:57 |
| drbe4t | hey i can't get gtkpod to upload my ipod video | 04:57 |
| drbe4t | any help | 04:57 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Well, just because it doesn't work for you doesnt mean it wont work for others either. | 04:57 |
| {chmod}755 | !help | drbe4t | 04:57 |

| Gh0st_Note- | Goes both ways buddy. | 04:57 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, It does work for me, actually. | 04:58 |
| Gh0st_Note- | *facepalm* | 04:58 |
| {chmod}755 | Yeah, get used to that. | 04:58 |
| mediaprodigy | what is the best ubuntu p2p app for downloading music? | 04:58 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Then was is the big deal? It's a neat app for who it does work for, and for those who care about personalization, it's nice. | 04:58 |
| {chmod}755 | mediaprodigy, pirating music isn't an appropriate topic for this channel. | 04:59 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, I'm just razzin' ya. Compiz is ok. Just resource heavy | 04:59 |
| glick | excuse me, where does telepathy store IM conversations? | 04:59 |
| bastid_raZor | !frostwire | mediaprodigy | 04:59 |
| ubottu | mediaprodigy: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 04:59 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Anyways, chmod, do you think it crashes due to a user having bad hardware, or because of badly written code? I'm asking a legit question, I'd like to know | 05:00 |
| Homicidal | http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2008/06/evolution-of-ubuntu-user.html | 05:00 |
| Gh0st_Note- | My hardware is superb, but, to be honest I have heard of odd things happening with compiz. Just hasn't happened with me | 05:00 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yet atleast | 05:00 |
| glick | anyone know? | 05:01 |
| Real_Ubot | I can't switch wordspace if I have closed a window just before trying to change workspace using my keyboard. I have to first click on the Desktop. This problem occured after I installed | 05:01 |
| Real_Ubot | Conky. What is happening? | 05:01 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, primarily because of bad hardware. | 05:01 |
| Jeruvy | Gh0st_Note-: generally it's more that compiz is very resource heavy and can conflict with other apps. Marginal hardware can also flake out due to it. | 05:01 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Chmod, based on what i've heard, it runs great on a lot of hardware, I mean, Aero on vista requires more yet it is nowhere near as attractice or customizable? | 05:01 |
| Gh0st_Note- | as compiz* | 05:02 |
| dan__ | How can I enable my Nvidia Geforce GT 330m 1gb? | 05:02 |
| {chmod}755 | Who says? Compiz can be fully modified to provide some outstanding effects that fully beat Aero. | 05:02 |
| scunizi | Gh0st_Note-: the only time I've had issues is with some games.. they just don't like it. | 05:02 |
| Gh0st_Note- | I'm running a GTX260 Black Edition, Q6600 Quad, 2GB of ram | 05:02 |
| {chmod}755 | dan__, lspci, probe or modprobe? | 05:02 |
| scunizi | dan__: go to System>Admin>hardware drivers and see if there is a driver waiting to be activated. | 05:02 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Dan, go to hardware drivers | 05:03 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yes, what he said | 05:03 |
| dan__ | Already checked hardware drivers. There are none listed | 05:03 |
| Gh0st_Note- | hm | 05:03 |
| {chmod}755 | dan__, Do you see it in an lspci? | 05:03 |
| scunizi | dan__: have you done all your updtes? | 05:03 |
| F223 | ok, you know the windows in the bottom right hand corner that you can switch between, what are those called? | 05:03 |
| Gh0st_Note- | deskspaces | 05:04 |
| {chmod}755 | F223, workstations | 05:04 |
| Gh0st_Note- | yes workstations | 05:04 |
| Gh0st_Note- | lol | 05:04 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Eitherway really | 05:04 |
| {chmod}755 | I've seen them called everything. =P | 05:04 |
| F223 | ok, can you customize workstations so that each one has a different theme? | 05:04 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yup | 05:04 |

| F223 | ok | 05:04 |
| dan__ | yeah I did all the updates | 05:04 |
| Gh0st_Note- | I personally haven't tried it myself dan yet, but I have looked up ways to do it | 05:04 |

| Gh0st_Note- | or bing it whatever | 05:05 |
| scunizi | dan__: ignore the reference to envyng.. it'll mess with your system.. | 05:05 |
| petsounds | scunizi, what? | 05:05 |
| scunizi | !envyng | petsounds don't suggest this | 05:06 |
| deltaflyer4747 | Hi, anyone knows why is the #debian locked ? | 05:06 |
| ubottu | petsounds don't suggest this: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 05:06 |
| dan__ | What should I do? | 05:06 |
| scunizi | dan__: if you need the nvidia drivers you can manually install the binary from nvidia.. the issue with it is you'll have to reinstall it with each kernel upgrade.. | 05:06 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu is heaven. srsyly. | 05:07 |
| sabharish | I run Ubuntu 9.10 as a VM with virtualbox | 05:07 |
| petsounds | scunizi, messing with your system, in what manner.... | 05:07 |
| F223 | I agree, Gh0st | 05:07 |
| sabharish | and I installed wine, but whenevr I run it its very slow | 05:07 |
| {chmod}755 | Windows 7 is the devil. It hovers over you in your sleep and touches itself. srsyly | 05:07 |
| Gh0st_Note- | haha | 05:07 |
| scunizi | petsounds: check the forums.. envy has been around for some time.. lots of issues with it.. | 05:07 |
| deltaflyer4747 | or is there anyone able and willing to help me with debian dpkg-buildpackage on mysql problem ? | 05:07 |
| {chmod}755 | deltaflyer4747, you need to go to #Debian for that. | 05:08 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Windows 7 isn't to bad. I got it for 30 bucks thanks to the student deal | 05:08 |
| dan__ | I already found the binary but I dont understand how I have to update the kernel | 05:08 |
| Gh0st_Note- | So I don't feel bad about buying it | 05:08 |
| {chmod}755 | I don't want any system that is going to touch itself while I sleep | 05:08 |

| scunizi | dan__: nvidia has docs on how to install.. but in essense you have to first uninstall the ubuntu driver using synaptic.. when installing the new driver you have to do it from a TTY with the gui shut down.. | 05:09 |

| {chmod}755 | deltaflyer4747, I saw it the first time. It's cool, just hang here for now. Or try #Linux | 05:09 |
| sebsebseb | Gh0st_Note-: {chmod}755 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | 05:09 |
| Gh0st_Note- | There's no way around it... Linux, in its present state is not good for gaming. | 05:10 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yup. | 05:10 |
| {chmod}755 | sebsebseb, Sorry we're getting in the way of such a busy night | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | Gh0st_Note-: quite a lot of good natives games for Desktop Linux | 05:10 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, epic fail | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | !games | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 05:10 |
| deltaflyer4747 | {chmod}755: well, noone there is able to help me tho... but i will try the general linux... i just thought it could be common problem as deb and ebu share common ground | 05:10 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yeah okay, go run every one of those steam games available, retail games, etc, with no problems, then come back to me. | 05:10 |
| iflema | Gh0st_Note- define gaming? | 05:10 |
| {chmod}755 | I play all of my games on linux | 05:10 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, phail on a pail | 05:11 |
| Gh0st_Note- | sigh... Okay, sure you can play freeware, the limited selection on Wine perhaps with problems, or you can shell out extra money for the alts to wine | 05:11 |
| scunizi | dan__: check this out.. I wrote this some time ago.. http://pastebin.com/m563a62f4 | 05:11 |
| Gh0st_Note- | but seriously... the gaming is limited | 05:11 |
| sebsebseb | Gh0st_Note-: also it's best to only support games companies who make for Desktop Linux, or WII or PS3 or something that isn't Xbox. | 05:11 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, I play NWN with wine. It has a linux client. | 05:11 |
| deltaflyer4747 | crap :( linux is also overflow :( | 05:11 |
| scunizi | Gh0st_Note-: that's nothing new to us.. | 05:11 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yes, I agree with supporting Linux client games, don't get me wrong. | 05:11 |
| {chmod}755 | Actually, I hate wine and don't use it for any of my games | 05:11 |
| dan__ | scunizi: Ill check it out. Thanks :) | 05:11 |
| Gh0st_Note- | I LOVE linux and ubuntu, but seriously, be realistic. | 05:12 |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, I am | 05:12 |
| * iflema thinks Gh0st_Note- needs a console.... like the kids have | 05:12 | |
| {chmod}755 | Gh0st_Note-, when you're as 1337 as sebsebseb, scunizi, and me then you'll kno what I'm talking about | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | you can dual boot if Wine or commercial versions of it, or a Windows virtual machine, aren't good enough for your Windows games | 05:12 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Uh no, I hate console gaming. I just said I have Windows 7 in dual boot with Ubuntu. | 05:12 |
| deltaflyer4747 | iflema: PS3 with ubuntu? :) | 05:12 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Ps3 with Linux is limited. | 05:12 |
| ardchoille | I feel the gaming chat would be better served in another channel.. since it isn't actually in answer to an Ubuntu support question. | 05:13 |
| {chmod}755 | Windows 7 molests children | 05:13 |
| * iflema Gh0st_Note- poor fing | 05:13 | |
| sebsebseb | ardchoille: indeed | 05:13 |
| {chmod}755 | There, I said it | 05:13 |
| sebsebseb | !ot | Gh0st_Note- | 05:13 |
| ubottu | Gh0st_Note-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:13 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Look, I know you like thinking it's really hardcore to game on linux and have a limited selection of games, but wake up. | 05:13 |
| Gh0st_Note- | Yes, no problem, I'll stop. | 05:13 |
| scunizi | Gh0st_Note-: this is all off topic for this channel and belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic.. there you can say what you want.. support here.. bs and other conversation there. | 05:14 |
| deltaflyer4747 | I know this is not the #debian (which gives me overflow), but is there anyone able and willing to help me with debian dpkg-buildpackage of mysql problem ? | 05:14 |
| dan__ | scunizi: Which driver do I get? I'm running 64 bit 9.04 and am not sure which driver I need for the Nvidia GT 330m 1gb | 05:14 |
| stealyourface | scunizi: so what are you trying to say, your being vague | 05:14 |
| scunizi | stealyourface: :) | 05:15 |
| scunizi | dan__: hang on.. | 05:15 |
| neezer | So I just read something about ramdisk and using something called preload. anyone know anything about that? | 05:15 |

| sebsebseb | deltaflyer4747: np | 05:17 |
| ardchoille | wolter: make use of your ~/.bash_aliases file :) | 05:17 |
| wolter | ardchoille, hmm.. could be too | 05:17 |
| ardchoille | wolter: installme='sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends' | 05:18 |
| ardchoille | :) | 05:18 |
| Dravekx | how do I uninstall a program from ubuntu server via ssh? | 05:18 |
| ardchoille | wolter: This one would be good in your recent question: apppolicy='apt-cache policy' | 05:19 |
| daftykins | Dravekx: sudo apt-get remove <packagename> | 05:19 |
| wolter | ardchoille, yes, or woxe-pkgversion | 05:19 |
| wolter | hm.. could I use empty spaces too? | 05:19 |
| ardchoille | wolter: not sure about that | 05:20 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: for aliases, no. You'd want to use dash or underscore. | 05:20 |
| ardchoille | wolter: I thinkit's ok so long as the spaces are inside the single quotes | 05:20 |
| ardchoille | kinja-sheep: Thank you, that is good to know | 05:20 |
| disappearedng_ | Anybody know why I am getting Error reading iPod photo database from gtkpod | 05:20 |
| wolter | ardchoille, i mean, for identifiers, but thanks kinja-sheep, Ill use dashes.. or hyphens as some like to call | 05:21 |
| Dravekx | how do I check for new stuff? there's update and ? | 05:21 |
| dan__ | sorry about that. I closed about. Can you please link me to the guide again? | 05:22 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 05:22 |
| Dravekx | yes! lol | 05:22 |
| Dravekx | brain fart. | 05:22 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: there's also : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:22 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: I use something like lla "for ls -alh" ; ll for "ls -lh". You get the idea. Better than "ls-al" or similar. | 05:22 |
| disappearedng_ | how do I put wmv files on ipod and what to use | 05:22 |
| Dravekx | whats the difference between dist-upgrade and jsut upgrade? | 05:22 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: dist-upgrade will bring in new packages inorder to satisfy dependencies of you current apps | 05:23 |
| Dravekx | oh ok :) | 05:23 |
| Dravekx | is it better to auto-update or manually update? | 05:24 |
| scunizi | Dravekx: occationally and this is rare.. it will also upgrade a package to the latest version | 05:24 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: I feel auto-update is good as you may forget to manually update | 05:25 |
| Dravekx | scunizi, really? | 05:25 |
| scunizi | Dravekx: auto update for security and occationally do the other.. like I said.. it's rare | 05:25 |
| Dravekx | ardchoille, any idea how to check or turn on auto updates? | 05:25 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: "latest versin" = the latest version that is available in the repos | 05:25 |
| ardchoille | Dravekx: No idea how to do that, sorry | 05:26 |
| scunizi | Dravekx: ardchoille not what I ment but .. ok | 05:26 |
| ardchoille | scunizi: usually we don't get new versions once the release is out, we just get bug fixes and security updates. We may get newer versions if that is part of a bug fix | 05:27 |
| ardchoille | or a sceurity update | 05:27 |
| scunizi | ardchoille: right.. like I said.. rare | 05:27 |
| ardchoille | Ah, yeah | 05:27 |
| wolter | every time I log in .bash_profile is executed? | 05:27 |
| kinja-sheep | Dravekx: Static cron job, cron-apt, or unattended-upgrades. | 05:28 |
| Dravekx | what is cron-apt? I dont have that installed. | 05:29 |
| kinja-sheep | !info cron-apt | Dravekx | 05:29 |
| ubottu | Dravekx: cron-apt (source: cron-apt): automatic update of packages using apt-get. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.0 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 220 kB | 05:29 |
| ardchoille | wolter: .bash_profile is not "executed", it's sourced each time you start up bash | 05:29 |
| Dravekx | ohhh | 05:29 |
| wolter | oh ok | 05:29 |
| wolter | yeah i meant that :) | 05:29 |
| joshua__ | so no putting "exit" in .bash_profile unless you want something really hard to fix | 05:29 |
| neezer | when I do sudo apt-get upgrade, I get a something saying that some packages have been "kept back" and that 7 packages weren't upgraded. Why is this? | 05:30 |
| Flannel | neezer: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:30 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Interesting. .bash_profile is for login shells. | 05:31 |
| neezer | Flannel: what will that do? I'm already running 9.10 | 05:31 |
| joshua__ | .bashrc runs in all bash shells | 05:31 |
| Flannel | neezer: upgrade only bumps version numbers, won't bring in new dependencies. Things like kernels and things depend on new packages for upgrades. | 05:31 |
| Flannel | neezer: It'll bring in those packages being held back | 05:32 |
| ardchoille | neezer: dist-upgrade does not take you to the new release, it simply brings in new packages in order to satisfy update requirements | 05:32 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, if that means that every time I log in it will be sourced then I have no further comments on that matter | 05:32 |
| joshua__ | I drove my sysadmin mad when I put "exec ksh" in my .cshrc so long ago. He tried to run a script that su'd to each user and did something with the C shell. He was not pleased to find an interactive shell waiting for him halfway through. | 05:33 |

| neezer | Flannel: when I run the dist-upgrade I get an error about unmet dependencies. It is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7ebb8aed | 05:37 |
| kinja-sheep | neezer: You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. | 05:37 |
| neezer | I also tried installing libusbmuxd1 | 05:37 |
| neezer | ok. | 05:37 |
| dan__ | How can I install the drivers for a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb? Im running 9.04 64 bit | 05:38 |
| kinja-sheep | dan__: System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers. | 05:38 |
| scunizi | dan__: did my paste not work? | 05:38 |
| disappearedng_ | hey easiest application to convert avi to somethign? | 05:39 |
| Blue11 | mencoder | 05:39 |
| bastid_raZor | disappearedng_: devede | 05:39 |
| neezer | kinja-sheep: i tried the sudo apt-get install, and it looked like it installed without errors. then when I did sudo apt-get update, I got the same error about unmet dependencies. it seems like I'm not getting usbmuxd and libusbmuxd1 to install or somthing. | 05:40 |
| Dravekx | vsftpd is SOOO much faster than proftpd | 05:40 |
| Metzgerr | my guark terminal is no longer transparency, settings are ok. any hint? | 05:40 |
| kinja-sheep | neezer: Try installing the packages? | 05:41 |
| dotblank | Ok I borked my alsa drivers.. will reinstalling Generic Linux Kernel image fix it? | 05:41 |
| neezer | kinja-sheep. I tried with sudo apt-get install libusbmuxd1 usbmuxd. it aparently didn't work. | 05:42 |
| dotblank | cause I think alsa is compiled into the kernel | 05:42 |
| kinja-sheep | neezer: For what app? I don't see libusbmux in the repo. | 05:43 |
| disappearedng_ | I keep getting this error from winff Unknown encoder 'libfaac' | 05:43 |
| iflema | neezer apt-get -f install | 05:44 |
| ardchoille | disappearedng_: Just a guess but do you possibly need the libfaac0 package? | 05:45 |
| disappearedng_ | ok all i want to do is convert avi to mov | 05:46 |
| disappearedng_ | so I opened avidemux my wmv file, then simply save it as .mov. The quality is so bad after that, can someone care to explain? | 05:47 |

| === Guest32882 is now known as MARAJUANA | ||
| disappearedng_ | um, I assume on avidemux it's not simply renaming | 05:51 |
| scunizi | dan__: perhaps it was when you tried to stop the gui? with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? with the newer ubuntu releases you have to sudo service gdm stop | 05:51 |
| brandon- | is it save to remove the modem manager | 05:51 |

| Blue11 | because ubuntu will host -- but okay sorry for bothering | 05:55 |
| neezer | iflema....ok...well, I removed the repositories for the packages and did a -f install and everything is back to normal...I guess it isn't a big deal as i never got it to work anyways. | 05:56 |

| osirisx11 | can someone please help me with autocropping a bunch of images? i know it sounds simple but i've been searching for a solution for hours. imagemagick with -fuzz and -trim still won't work as they are scanned from a flatbed scanner and have a bit of noise | 05:57 |
| iflema | ipod.... ooooo | 05:57 |
| brandon- | syn-ack, never | 05:57 |

| brandon- | no it didnt clean anything, instead of removing unccesary stuff it removed stuff i used and needed | 05:59 |
| jack5463 | janitor isn't ai | 05:59 |
| brandon- | its not jack? wise words from the guy who just asked "what can ubuntu do" | 06:00 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: well... in Ubuntu that's kinda hard to say with somethings... really a default install is really quite small | 06:00 |
| jack5463 | good guess huh | 06:00 |

| dan__ | scunizi: Ill try again | 06:02 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: you don't need apache unless you're running a server, and the only way to instal it is manually or via installing from server edition | 06:02 |
| brandon- | i downloaded the one from ubuntu.com ardchoille | 06:02 |
| brandon- | didnt say server | 06:03 |
| brandon- | i just got the 64bit ubuntu 9.10 | 06:03 |
| ardchoille | ok, well you can remove apache if not needed | 06:03 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: I think you ended up with server edition | 06:03 |
| brandon- | does that mean theres alot of crap running i dont need? | 06:03 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: Quite possibly | 06:04 |
| jack5463 | can i access windows if I'm running ubuntu from cd? | 06:04 |

| brandon- | or just a few apt-get remove's | 06:05 |
| alteregoa | you just need to clock on the drive button | 06:05 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: No idea, haven't ever tried it | 06:05 |
| alteregoa | so you have access to your windows files | 06:05 |
| alteregoa | maybe you can start ubuntu in a virtual machine | 06:05 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: I'd go to the site, download the correct edition and reinstall. | 06:05 |

| ardchoille | brandon-: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ | 06:07 |
| brandon- | yea i undersatnd ardchoille but ive had this installation since 9.10 came out and i already customized alot of stuff, not to mention my gf did as well id ratehr just uninstall all the extra pacakges and save myself the trouble of reinstalling | 06:07 |
| alabd | lauriff: would you give name | 06:07 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: First off, and I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I've used linux for more years than I care to admit and I'm going to tell you that while you CAN remove all that stuff you don't need, it's only going to cause you more of a headache that it's worth | 06:07 |
| brandon- | the server edition says it doesnt install a GUI | 06:07 |
| brandon- | so how can that be what i have? | 06:08 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: That's up to you of course, but it may take a lot of work and/or you may not get rid of everything. You choice | 06:08 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: did you ever install ubuntu-desktop package? | 06:08 |
| osirisx11 | brandon-: maybe you installed something that needed apache? | 06:08 |
| airtonix | brandon-, what are you trying to achieve ? free up disk space or reduce cpu load ? | 06:08 |
| lauriff | alabd: meh, try epdfview | 06:08 |
| brandon- | reduce cpu airtonix | 06:08 |
| brandon- | i dont recall installing ubuntu-desktop ardchoille | 06:09 |
| brandon- | isnt there an easy way to tell which version i have, a command perhaps? | 06:09 |
| jack5463 | what is !tab | 06:09 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: Ok, then I might have been wrong. Just curious as to how you ended up with apache | 06:09 |
| airtonix | brandon-, yes | 06:09 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: lsb_release -a | 06:09 |
| meganerd | brandon-: then use top to figure out what is eating CPU and remove it | 06:09 |
| meganerd | brandon-: or stop whining and reinstall | 06:09 |
| brandon- | nothings really eating it, just trying to get rid of uncesary stuff | 06:10 |
| brandon- | i noticed the modemmanger and wondered if i needed it | 06:10 |
| ardchoille | Let's be respectful and try to help as best we can :) | 06:10 |
| brandon- | im not whining about anything | 06:10 |
| meganerd | brandon-: you could also backup your home directories, reinstall, readd the users, then restore their dorectories | 06:10 |
| brandon- | meganerd theres no point in reinstalling if im not even on the server eidtion | 06:10 |
| brandon- | which im almost positve that im not | 06:10 |
| airtonix | brandon-, its something you would do on windows for sure... is this the concept you are trying to achieve ? | 06:10 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: That's one of the things I would personally keep on the system since removing it will also remove it's deps which include network manager | 06:10 |
| brandon- | ok syn-nack | 06:11 |
| meganerd | brandon-: it actually does not matter, you could install the desktop version, then do an sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 06:11 |
| brandon- | meganerd i dont think you hve any idea whats going on with what im saying | 06:11 |
| ardchoille | meganerd: Say that again? | 06:11 |
| brandon- | you sortve jumped in the convo head first | 06:11 |
| brandon- | and you dont seem to fully grasp anything weve talked about | 06:11 |
| syn-ack | Hrm | 06:11 |
| * iflema windows power user user... | 06:11 | |
| alabd | is there any way to write on free spae of DVD ? | 06:12 |
| alabd | *space | 06:12 |
| meganerd | brandon-: I have the desktop version but I installed apache2, samba, mysql, bind9 which are considered "server" packages. The whole server desktop delineation is rather arbitrary | 06:12 |
| osirisx11 | brandon-: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar | 06:12 |
| brandon- | i installed samba as well | 06:12 |
| syn-ack | Well I'm in a pickle it seems.... Seems taht my new ISP throttles BT so I can no longer use it to sync my daily builds. | 06:12 |
| brandon- | i know osiris, but he comes in out of nowhere telling me to stop whining when im just asking legit questions | 06:12 |
| meganerd | brandon-: if you do not need apache and samba then remove them | 06:12 |
| brandon- | nou, i installed samba myself | 06:12 |
| brandon- | because i do need it | 06:12 |
| brandon- | would the server edition have already had samba isntalled? if so then im certain im not on it | 06:13 |
| syn-ack | yes | 06:13 |
| brandon- | because i had to install samba myself | 06:13 |
| osirisx11 | brandon-: your tone is awfully aggressive and may make less patient people not want to help you | 06:13 |
| drew33 | Hi All, I just loaded/installed - My screen is mis-configured and the gnome menu panel is down out of sight (and out of reach), What can I do to straighten this out. I can't get at any programs. | 06:13 |
| brandon- | orisis then stop talkign to me then | 06:13 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: what does lsb_release -a tell you? | 06:13 |
| meganerd | brandon-: the server edition asks you at install, so it may or may not have. It is available to install on either of the Desktop or server editions | 06:13 |
| brandon- | it seems like youre trying to passively aggressively trol me | 06:13 |
| brandon- | yea it did ask me to install | 06:13 |
| brandon- | sec syn | 06:13 |
| IdleOne | osirisx11: let syn-ack help brandon- please, he seems to know more about the situation then we do | 06:13 |
| brandon- | no lsb modules available syn | 06:14 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: I understand you're upset but you really do need need to calm down now, or you won't be getting anymore help | 06:14 |
| syn-ack | What else does it say? | 06:14 |
| osirisx11 | brandon-: i'm trying to help you. we're all friends here. no need to be angry at anyone or call names. | 06:14 |
| brandon- | im not upset lol | 06:14 |
| lauriff | you're forgetting the -a option | 06:14 |
| djhash | bandon: if you had gnome from the beginning then you installed the desktop edition. | 06:14 |
| brandon- | really im not, my system is working fine i just wanna know what i dont need and what i do need | 06:14 |
| alabd | when dvd inserted > Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'Debian 5.0.3 i386 Bin-1'. | 06:14 |
| brandon- | yes i had gnome from the beginning | 06:14 |
| syn-ack | Then yeah you're running desktop. | 06:14 |
| lauriff | I think we can be reasonably certain you don't have the server edition. | 06:14 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: apt-get remove apache | 06:14 |
| syn-ack | well throw a sudo in there | 06:15 |
| brandon- | ok thanks syn youve ben really helpful, and thanks for not being a douche | 06:15 |
| brandon- | yea i got it | 06:15 |
| brandon- | thanks | 06:15 |
| djhash | brandon-: Use synaptic, there is a button that says installed. It'll show you everything that is installed. If you know what you don't want then just mark them for removal. | 06:15 |
| brandon- | nah i dont know for sure djhash thats why i was asking | 06:15 |
| brandon- | the thing that got me asking was the modemmanger, i didnt know if tit was just for 56k modems or what, cuz i saw it in my running processes | 06:15 |
| brandon- | and i wanted to get rid of all the running stuff i dont need | 06:15 |
| alabd | lauriff: also that has the same problem | 06:16 |
| dan__ | Can someone help me with a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb on 64bit ubuntu 9.04 | 06:16 |
| ardchoille | syn-ack: should he do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" when done with apache? | 06:16 |
| djhash | brandon-: well, it still lists them, and you can click on each and it'll show you description, if you're still unsure, use google, then you'll know if it is important or not. | 06:16 |
| brandon- | thank you djhash | 06:16 |
| brandon- | very good advice :) | 06:16 |
| syn-ack | ardchoille: I would | 06:16 |
| alabd | pdf viewers in 9.04 just open 1 sat page of pdf file why ? | 06:16 |
| Jasonrj | ' | 06:16 |
| brandon- | this facebook command line bulcrap i think | 06:17 |
| brandon- | is what made me install php5 and apache | 06:17 |
| brandon- | think i figured it out | 06:17 |
| djhash | brandon-: just becareful, when you mark something for removal, it might tell you that there are other things that needs to be removed, because they depend on it. check that list and make sure it doesn't have anything in there you want. | 06:17 |
| Metzgerr | my guark terminal is no longer transparency, settings are ok. any hint? | 06:17 |
| brandon- | yea i know djhash, thank you alot | 06:17 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: After apache uninstalls you may also want to an apt-get autoremove to remove it's deps that it's no longer using | 06:18 |
| brandon- | you and syn-ack were both very hjelpful | 06:18 |
| brandon- | yea yea | 06:18 |
| brandon- | <3 | 06:18 |
| ardchoille | syn-ack: I sent you a pm | 06:18 |
| syn-ack | I sees ya. :P | 06:18 |
| isolat3dsh33p | guys, is there any way to lock a folder so that no one can open it unless a password is given? | 06:19 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: wth is this facebook thing you're talking about now? | 06:20 |
| brandon- | ah im saying i found out why i have apache | 06:20 |
| brandon- | i installed a thing called fbcmd so i can have facebook stuff in my conky display | 06:20 |
| jack5463 | why | 06:20 |
| brandon- | and it required php5, which requires apache2 | 06:20 |
| iflema | isolat3dsh33p assign root privillages | 06:20 |
| brandon- | apparently | 06:20 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: ah.... thats why you need to check deps before you go installing things all will nill like that | 06:21 |
| brandon- | lol yea im still new to linux as a whole, but im learning pretty fast | 06:21 |
| isolat3dsh33p | iflema, ok, thanks :) | 06:21 |
| brandon- | having facebook in conky is nice | 06:21 |
| brandon- | but not nice enought o have an apache server running 24/7 | 06:21 |
| brandon- | seems like a security risk and a waste of memory | 06:21 |
| syn-ack | brandon-: synaptic will list the deps as will apt-cache policy | 06:21 |
| brandon- | yea thats how i figured out apache was linked to php5 | 06:22 |
| brandon- | which fbcmd needs to function | 06:22 |
| iflema | isolat3dsh33p and sudo... surely theres gotta be a beter way? | 06:22 |
| exodus_ms | I have a file I need to copy from my desktop to my laptop that was saved with root privileges. Should I use chown chgrp etc? | 06:22 |
| ardchoille | exodus_ms: sudo chown $user:$user file <-- where $user is your suername | 06:23 |
| exodus_ms | ardchoille, thank you | 06:23 |
| ardchoille | yw | 06:23 |
| ardchoille | syn-ack: Thanks for helping brandon- , good job mate :) | 06:24 |
| brandon- | <3 | 06:24 |
| syn-ack | np | 06:24 |
| songer | hello | 06:24 |
| brandon- | this apache portable runtime librarys and stuff, are they needed? | 06:24 |
| brandon- | they dont get taken out with apache | 06:24 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: Did you do: sudo apt-get autoremove ? | 06:25 |
| brandon- | oh no | 06:25 |
| brandon- | i didnt remove the original yet, ill try that | 06:25 |
| ardchoille | Run that | 06:25 |
| Blue11 | they really need a sudo apt-get MakeItDieNow | 06:25 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: Well autoremove removes deps, so good to do after you remove apache | 06:25 |
| songer | why it becomes slower ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| iflema | isolat3dsh33p www.gnome.org/projects/nautilus-locked-folders | 06:26 |
| songer | what can i do to make my ubuntu normal speed? | 06:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | iflema, I'm not sure how to do it. I gave the permission to admin and folder access to none to others but still I can open the folder. I want the folder to be lock, no one can view what's inside unless a password is given. | 06:26 |
| exodus_ms | ardchoille, grrr, I'm still unable to copy the file. I'm connecting via sftp and have tried command line and nautilus to copy the file | 06:26 |
| isolat3dsh33p | iflema, ok, I'm going to read that now :) | 06:26 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: why not use scp? | 06:26 |
| songer | firefos its slow some times | 06:27 |
| ardchoille | exodus_ms: I'm not familiar with sftp | 06:27 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, tried that as well, same thing permission denied | 06:27 |
| kinja-sheep | iflema: "Right away. No questions asked." How does that stop the snoopers from right-click and "Unlock it" ? | 06:27 |
| Blue11 | ahh well permission problems are different not scp problme or sftp | 06:27 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: ru trying to copy a system file? | 06:27 |
| songer | and sometime i need to kill it with comman | 06:27 |
| iflema | ? | 06:27 |
| isolat3dsh33p | iflema, it gives nothing actually. :( | 06:28 |
| jonzbcc | hello, I'd like to figure out how to pgp encyrpt/decrypt emails (found a thunderbird plugin for it). Now I want to do the same for the command line. two reasons: I want to know that if my mail is in mbox format, I can take that simple ascii and simply pipe it to another utility like `mcrypt -g` -- does anyone know how to encrypt/decrypt a file that's been encrypted with PGP using the command line? | 06:28 |
| brandon- | ok it ogt everything else with the autoremove | 06:28 |
| songer | any help? | 06:28 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, na, it is a wireshark log I had saved on my desktop, trying to view it on my laptop | 06:28 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: well what are the permissions on the source file set as? | 06:29 |
| alabd | Hello what are mode 1 and 2 for ? i k3b advance tab | 06:29 |
| jonzbcc | alabd: where are you seeing modes 1 and 2? | 06:29 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, owner and group set to 0 | 06:29 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: where is the file located in home directory? | 06:29 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: yes that is a permissions error set to zero | 06:30 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, yeah, home directory on the remote machine | 06:30 |

| ardchoille | brandon-: Ok, what about php5 and mysql? | 06:31 |
| Blue11 | okay then let's do a couple of things - first lets set the owner so sudo chown <YourUserid> <FileNameGoesHere> | 06:31 |
| brandon- | i uninstalled php5 | 06:31 |
| songer | i need help | 06:31 |
| brandon- | when i uninstalled apache2, php5 went with it | 06:31 |
| jonzbcc | anyone encrypt there emails with PGP? | 06:31 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: okay then let's do a couple of things - first lets set the owner so sudo chown <YourUserid> <FileNameGoesHere> | 06:31 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: ok | 06:31 |
| Virtual | i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and the fan is running at max speed even though i am not using any app, what do i need to install so it scales down the cpu or the fan speed? | 06:31 |
| bluejeans | jonzbcc: gpg you mean? | 06:31 |
| brandon- | i have mysql-common installed ardchoille | 06:31 |
| songer | i made update nd now ubuntu becomes slower | 06:31 |
| brandon- | and libmysqlclient | 06:32 |
| jonzbcc | bluejeans: no, I mean pgp (pretty good encryption) key pairs | 06:32 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, ok, just ran the command on the remote machine | 06:32 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: So do I but they don't do much here, and I keep a lean system | 06:32 |
| brandon- | kk | 06:32 |
| brandon- | im trying to look for more crap i accidentally installed | 06:32 |
| brandon- | when i was more of a newb | 06:32 |
| brandon- | trying to streamline my system | 06:32 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, owner is now 1000 group is the same as before 0 | 06:32 |
| brandon- | it seems like it runs real fast when i first bootup, then performance kind of degrades over time | 06:32 |
| bluejeans | jonzbcc: ah ok... no, i have used gpg for that tho | 06:32 |
| brandon- | and i know that isnt right | 06:33 |
| brandon- | thats more of a windows thing | 06:33 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: now let's set the permissions sudo chmod 755 <FileNameGoesHere> | 06:33 |
| airtonix | !enter | brandon- | 06:33 |
| ubottu | brandon-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:33 |
| kinja-sheep | brandon-: Do you have OpenOffice? | 06:33 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: since you no longer have apache, you might have a look and see if there's anything you want to keep in /var/www | 06:33 |
| brandon- | thanks airtonix, glad youre here to tell me that | 06:33 |
| airtonix | brandon-, libmysqlclient is used by various programs as a method of storing options and extra data | 06:33 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: that sets read/write/delete for YOU, and read/access for everyone else | 06:33 |
| brandon- | yes i do kinja | 06:33 |
| kinja-sheep | brandon-: That is it. | 06:34 |
| jonzbcc | bluejeans: I just looked up what gpg is -- its just a utility -- and it looks like it can generate/handle pgp keys (this gives me a lead!). -- do you ever use gpg on the command line? | 06:34 |
| brandon- | ardchoille, just index.html in /var/www | 06:34 |
| bluejeans | jonzbcc: yep | 06:34 |
| songer | wht can i do? | 06:34 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, thank you very much. Will I need to set the perms back on the local machine? | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: you can remove that dir if needed, requires sudo | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: be very careful not to remove /var | 06:34 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: no it should copy with same permissions - give scp a try | 06:35 |
| bluejeans | jonzbcc: or get the keys plugin for firefox .. encrypt/decrypt on the fly | 06:35 |
| brandon- | yea i know ardchoille :P | 06:35 |
| ardchoille | ok | 06:35 |
| brandon- | im seraching through installed files right now in synaptic | 06:35 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: Good idea | 06:35 |
| brandon- | trying to see if anything catches my eye like apache did, that souldnt be here | 06:35 |
| brandon- | ardchoille, do you have gvfs-fuse installed? i think i installed it for some ipod sync app | 06:36 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: so it looks something like (on the machine where the file is located we are going to push onto other machine) scp <FileNameGoesHere> Destination:///home/<UseridGoesHere> . (period at the end important!) | 06:36 |
| airtonix | brandon-, have you tried crunchbang linux yet? | 06:36 |
| brandon- | nope, never heard of it | 06:36 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: I think gvfs-fuse came with the system, I didn't installt manually | 06:37 |
| airtonix | brandon-, if you are looking for a lean deb based linux system then crunchbang might appeal to you | 06:37 |
| jonzbcc | bluejeans: thanks for speaking up at all -- I just found a lot of stuff to read up on. I am in a command line env. majority of the time, so I want to make sure (before I publish a public key to my website) that when I *do* start using mutt and keeping my mail in .mbox format, I'll be able to encrypt/decrypt right on the command line without the help of mutt/plugins/etc. | 06:37 |
| blakkheim | lol, crunchbang isn't "lean" - it's just as bloated as ubuntu | 06:37 |
| brandon- | nah im not really looking for that airtonix, just trying to remove stuff i installed awhile ago when i didnt knoww what i was doing | 06:37 |
| airtonix | blakkheim, define bloat | 06:37 |
| brandon- | without having to reinstall completely | 06:37 |
| Blue11 | Not as bloated as windoze (yet) | 06:37 |
| === Chance is now known as Guest78622 | ||
| blakkheim | airtonix: anything that's unneeded | 06:37 |
| brandon- | reinstalling just to get rid of a few packages seems like a windows solution to a linux problem | 06:37 |
| bluejeans | jonzbcc: np. have fun with it | 06:38 |
| airtonix | blakkheim, then your concept of bloat is subjective | 06:38 |
| ardchoille | We should take the bloat and Windows convos to another channel | 06:38 |
| brandon- | i wonder what made the ubuntu devs go with empathy over pidgin | 06:38 |
| brandon- | first thing i did was uninstall empathy to reinstall pidgin | 06:39 |
| brandon- | its terrible | 06:39 |
| ardchoille | brandon-: I think it was because pidgin and skypefeatures can be handled with emp ? | 06:39 |
| airtonix | brandon-, also : telepathy | 06:39 |
| brandon- | ah, i dont know a single person on or offline that uses skype, must be a big deal | 06:39 |
| brandon- | i got the skype app on my ipod but i only used it once lol, seemed kind of stupid | 06:39 |
| firefox_ | can anyone help me with a moblock issue? | 06:40 |
| airtonix | brandon-, not if you have access to free wifi | 06:40 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, didnt work | 06:40 |
| brandon- | everywhere i go i have wifi access, thats why i bought an ipod touch | 06:40 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: okay what happendd? | 06:40 |
| exodus_ms | scp: ///home/trenton: not a regular file | 06:41 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, ^ | 06:41 |
| Virtual | i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and the fan is running at max speed even though i am not using any app, what do i need to install so it scales down the cpu or the fan speed? | 06:42 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: it needs the name of the destination computer - for example scp MyLetter.txt Phoenix:///home/myuserid where Phoenix is the name of the computer you are trying to send the file too | 06:42 |
| iceroot | Blue11: why /// | 06:42 |
| iceroot | Blue11: exodus_ms normally its scp /home/someuser/localfile user@host:/home/something/and/so/on | 06:43 |
| exodus_ms | Blue11, I used <userID>@<IPaddr> will that not work? | 06:43 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: the first two // is the computer hence Phoenix:// then the last / is for the directory name | 06:43 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: dunno let me look at the man | 06:43 |
| dan__ | Can someone help me with a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb on 64bit ubuntu 9.04 | 06:44 |
| Blue11 | exodus_ms: yeah it shows that as an option | 06:44 |
| bluejeans | iceroot: Blue11 ... butting in but, it you scp to user@<host>:dir/ then you don't start the path from /home/ because you're logged in as your user and path astarts from your home | 06:44 |
| m0ar | Anyone got the Creative X-Fi mediaplayer to work in karmic? I can see it, view the files but not listen to them when transferred. Pretty wierd | 06:45 |
| Blue11 | bluejeans: you are quite correct -- | 06:45 |
| iceroot | bluejeans: yes you are right, its just me using absolute path everytime | 06:46 |
| Blue11 | bluejeans: for me its less typing to do the /// thing but to each his own I guess | 06:46 |
| iceroot | Blue11: for what is ///? | 06:46 |
| Vanessur | /join #ubuntu | 06:47 |
| iceroot | Vanessur: you are here | 06:47 |
| MaT-dg | m0ar: what is this x-fi mediaplayer? | 06:47 |
| Vanessur | i thought so | 06:47 |
| Blue11 | iceroot: computer (//) and path (/) looks strange but it works -- great thing about linux - more then 1 way to skin cat | 06:47 |
| Vanessur | But someone told me I wasn't... | 06:47 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | Hey. I have a microphone running through a soundblaster live! 5.1 card, and everything is set except for one thing. When I talk into the mic, every sound gets played through my output. How do I stop that the sound playing through the speakers?? | 06:54 |

| Vanessur | I can't come here on Ubuntu | 06:55 |
| Vanessur | that is my problem | 06:55 |
| Vanessur | wow | 06:55 |
| ddecator | what's the problem? | 06:55 |
| NeT_DeMoN | Jeruvy, because in ##windows they won't tell you how to fix your Ubuntu to connect to the internet | 06:55 |
| Jeruvy | SpaceGhostC2C: try muting the mic | 06:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Vanessur: do you know how to use two computers? Can you? | 06:55 |
| chalcedony | hi rookie | 06:55 |
| EastDallas | SpaceGhostC2C: you can mute it using gnome-alsamixer | 06:55 |
| Vanessur | Thanks Robert | 06:55 |
| bluejeans | SpaceGhostC2C: do you have jack ? | 06:55 |
| Vanessur | I don't have two computers | 06:55 |
| Vanessur | or access to two computers | 06:55 |
| jack5463 | i had a hard time getting here from ubuntu also | 06:55 |
| Jeruvy | NeT_DeMoN: thats debatable, but not the issue here. | 06:55 |
| ddecator | what trouble are you having with Ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Jeruvy: I have, but I use it for skype. Should I check out jack? | 06:56 |
| NeT_DeMoN | SpaceGhostC2C, and not everyone has two computers | 06:56 |
| Vanessur | ddecator I can't connect to the internet on Ubuntu | 06:56 |
| collectek_ | hello all | 06:56 |
| troublescoot | do you guys recommend ClamAV for antivirus? | 06:56 |
| Vanessur | after two mintues it will disconnect | 06:56 |
| ddecator | @Vanessur are you trying to connect to wireless or ethernet? | 06:56 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Vanessur: so, are you trying to use wireless or a wired connection? | 06:56 |
| Vanessur | wireless | 06:56 |
| EastDallas | SpaceGhostC2C: Jack is not necessary for skype. If you aren't doing recording, I wouldn't recommend using Jack for much | 06:56 |
| Jeruvy | SpaceGhostC2C: if you mute the mic does the mic stop working? | 06:57 |
| Vanessur | wireless | 06:57 |
| bluejeans | SpaceGhostC2C: jack is just a simple audio routing utility..tells it to go/not go wherever you want | 06:57 |
| airtonix | jeruvy, #windows isn't even a support channel to be brutually honest | 06:57 |
| ddecator | What version of Ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| rookie | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 06:57 |

| troublescoot | collectek_: email integrated? | 06:57 |
| Vanessur | geez | 06:57 |
| Vanessur | and 9.10 | 06:57 |
| EastDallas | SpaceGhostC2C: do you have the package gnome-alsamixer installed? If so, you can mute the mic from playing back through the speakers, but not from receiving input. Similar to the Windows mixer. | 06:58 |
| ddecator | Are you able to connect to Ethernet to see if there are updates that can fix the problem? | 06:58 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | bluejeans: is jack simple? I've played with other sound servers. I'll look at it | 06:58 |
| collectek_ | like zimbra server can filter mail through server and clamav | 06:58 |
| Vanessur | probably | 06:58 |

| reeniginEesreveR | Metzgerr, whats the procedure? | 07:12 |
| bluejeans | reactor /ignore *@* dcc ?? | 07:12 |

| reactor | bluejeans, roger | 07:12 |
| reeniginEesreveR | Metzgerr, when i try dpkg -i package.deb it says "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)" | 07:12 |
| alteregoa | On a scale of 1 to 4, what are your feelings about the color green? | 07:13 |
| Metzgerr | u need i686 | 07:13 |
| Metzgerr | i686 can be 32 or 64 bit | 07:13 |
| reeniginEesreveR | Metzgerr, what if the i686 pckage isn't available? | 07:13 |
| Metzgerr | take a closer look | 07:13 |

| w3rd_ | hey guys, upgraded ubuntu and skype mic doenst work? any suggestions? i only see pulse mixer in sound settings... however before i upgraded i could see my headset... i can hear but i cant talk? any suggestions? | 07:13 |
| Metzgerr | it is, the i686 package is used by 80% users | 07:13 |
| alteregoa | x86:64 is 64 | 07:13 |
| SwedeMike | Metzgerr: I'd say that i686 is i386 but optimized for i686 class processors, if it's 64bit it's amd64 | 07:13 |
| alteregoa | i686 is pentium 4 class | 07:13 |
| SwedeMike | actually i686 is ppro and later. | 07:14 |

| alteregoa | but ubuntu binaries are still compiled with i586, what a waste | 07:14 |

| troublescoot | installing my first dedicated ubuntu server and, for some reason, webmin doesn't see that apache2 is "started."

| airtonix | TJSD, 1) are you unable to boot from cd 2) do you not have a recent ubuntu live cd ? | 07:29 |
| TJSD | i cannot boot from cd because i wiped my hd and it has no boot sector. it wont load cds but it will boot to usb flash. | 07:29 |
| airtonix | TJSD, i thought booting from cd was controlled by the bios and has nothing to do with the condition or presence of a hard drive . | 07:30 |
| arand | xubunoobie: I do not know, but might be worth a try I guess. | 07:30 |
| greezmunkey | TJSD, that does'nt make sense... | 07:31 |
| arand | TJSD: That, in theory, shouldn't prevent you from booting CDs, have you checked the bios to see if CD boot is selected? | 07:31 |

| TJSD | like i said if i set it to boot from usb that will work. | 07:32 |
| airtonix | TJSD, it might only work if the cd is on its own IDE channel | 07:32 |
| xubunoobie | arand: Ok. Thank you I will give it a try. | 07:32 |

| TJSD | does the ubuntu installer format to ext3? | 07:34 |
| airtonix | TJSD, depends which version of ubuntu. 8.10 9.04 use ext3 where 91.0 will also provide ext4 as well | 07:35 |
| sss | TJSD, you can specify the filesystem | 07:35 |

| Leftmost | keepsake, the instructions specifically say it will not work with an ISO, only an IMG. IMG is a different format, used by Apple. | 07:44 |

| Dr-Digi | Awesome3000 it was on my hard drive originally, i had 320 gigs free and i added it into that hard drive to use 50 gigs | 07:45 |

| Dr-Digi | Windows XP Professional , Ubuntu, Ubuntu Safe Mode etc | 07:49 |
| Dr-Digi | but Windows doesnt boot | 07:49 |
| Dr-Digi | it just like reboots and goes back to grub | 07:49 |

| EastDallas | Dr-Digi: you might be able to do a repair install of windows to restore ntldr, but it will most likely break your dual boot. | 07:50 |
| Awesome3000 | Dr-Digi: It sounds like you have installed grub over windows bootloader start by restoring it | 07:50 |
| arand | Dr-Digi: try running an "sudo update-grub" from within ubuntu, or hang on, do you want to get rid of grub? | 07:50 |
| Dr-Digi | i dont mind grub... i like the option of which OS to boot from | 07:51 |
| Dr-Digi | my issue is my macintosh motherboard fried, and its not under warranty i cant really afford a new mac right now and i got files i need | 07:51 |
| arand | Dr-Digi: then try th update-grub, which _might_ work | 07:51 |
| defn | I have a savvy user who is going to be logging into my system. How can I make sure that all of his keystrokes and bash_history are secured? | 07:52 |
| Dr-Digi | windows xp wont mount the hard drives and ubuntu does | 07:52 |
| defn | err are logged | 07:52 |

| keepsake | Dr-Digi: Boot with your Windows XP disk, and enter Recovery Console when prompted. Log in, and then type in the following commands: "fixmbr" followed by "fixboot". You'll find that it'll remove grub. If you want grub, you can reinstall it afterwards. | 07:52 |

| keepsake | Dr-Digi: Are you trying to get Windows back? Your Windows isn't booting probably not because grub is messed, but because the Windows bootloaders are damaged. | 07:55 |
| arand | Dr-Digi: I am guessing that those errors shouldn't affect it, try booting windows now, if that doesn't work go with keepsake's suggestion | 07:56 |
| TJSD | how can the boot loaders be fixed? | 07:58 |
| keepsake | TJSD: Which bootloaders? | 07:59 |
| TJSD | for me its ntldr | 07:59 |
| EastDallas | defn: You could use a keylogger, but with sudo access he could defeat anything you installed. | 07:59 |

| TJSD | im formating my hd to fat in hopes that i can just create a fake windows folder | 08:00 |
| TJSD | no windows | 08:00 |
| arand | TJSD: no operating system at all? | 08:00 |
| TJSD | then hopefully i can boot from cd. i know it shouldnt keep me from booting from cd drive but... | 08:00 |
| TJSD | no os its a blank drive | 08:01 |
| keepsake | TJSD: Why would you want a Windows bootloader then? | 08:01 |
| Awesome3000 | TJSD to boot from cd it's BIOS not bootloader that you need | 08:01 |
| EastDallas | TJSD: why do you think your bootloader is preventing you from booting from CD? | 08:01 |
| TJSD | i know that the bios must be set to boot from cd but it wont boot from the cd drive. ive tried two drives | 08:02 |
| arand | TJSD: in theory, what is or not on the disk shouldn't affect CD booting at all.. | 08:02 |
| keepsake | TJSD: Then it's the disk; it's probably not bootable. | 08:02 |
| defn | The user who is logging into my system will have root access, but won't be doing anything beyond a couple of simple tasks. I just want to guarantee that he cannot delete his history through conventional methods. | 08:02 |
| Awesome3000 | TJSD Is the drive a master | 08:02 |
| arand | TJSD: can you boot USB though? | 08:02 |
| keepsake | defn: Someone with root access can do ANYTHING. | 08:02 |
| TJSD | it doesnt make sense to me either. im trying to fix it to rule it out as why i cant boot from cd | 08:02 |
| keepsake | defn: That's what root is =\ | 08:02 |
| EastDallas | defn: If he's got sudo access you can't guarantee that. | 08:02 |
| Awesome3000 | defn what is he doing | 08:03 |
| defn | he's scanning my machine looking for stuff, he's going to be running a couple of locate commands and then logging off | 08:03 |

| arand | TJSD: in that case, boot and install from a usb maybe? | 08:04 |
| EastDallas | TJSD: Have you gone into the bios and set the CD-ROM first in boot order? | 08:04 |
| TJSD | yes dallas | 08:04 |
| TJSD | i can boot from usb | 08:04 |
| keepsake | defn: Although, it's important to note that with sudo/root access, it's near impossible to make something foolproof. If this person finds the log/program, the person can delete/terminate. | 08:05 |

| Dr-Digi | yeah that didnt work... | 08:19 |
| cousin_mario | seventoes: depending on your needs | 08:19 |
| Quan-Time | cousin_mario: umm.. try "thunderbird" instead.. its prolly listed that way | 08:19 |

| sefram | EastDallas: its there http://support.amd.com/de/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx but that doesnt work... | 08:21 |
| cousin_mario | zzz: by the way, did you reset the CMOS via jumper after the update? | 08:21 |
| zzz | cousin_mario: I don't know, sadly. I haven't messed with floppy drives in years and I don't have any floppies to mess around with right now. I just was going to ask if anyone has ever recovered via the floppy disk method. I know some people have used external floppies via usb, so technically a usb flash drive should work too (right?) | 08:21 |
| zzz | cousin_mario: Not via the jumper. I took the battery out for a minute or two. | 08:22 |
| EastDallas | cousin_mario: I just went through and cleaned up my sources.list a few weeks ago, so I know none of the old repos are there. Don't know anything about ubuntuzilla. | 08:22 |
| zzz | Should I reset the jumper? | 08:22 |
| cousin_mario | zzz: I think the problem is the bios in that state might not be able to use usb peripherals | 08:22 |
| Quan-Time | cousin_mario: im still using thunderbird 2 as well, and just checked, no 3 update as yet.. thats proly why.. give it a few days | 08:22 |

| Quan-Time | cousin_mario: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US just get it and install manually | 08:24 |
| zzz | cousin_mario: What do I do for that, just take it out, move it to a different pin, and start it back up? | 08:24 |
| cousin_mario | zzz: usually. I also recommend you ask on #hardware | 08:24 |
| Awesome3000 | cousin_mario: Doesn't Thunderbird update itself | 08:24 |
| zzz | cousin_mario: Thanks. | 08:24 |
| TJSD | Thanks everyone and have a good night | 08:24 |
| cousin_mario | Awesome3000: dunno, what about dependencies btw? | 08:24 |
| alex87 | i'm trying to run mozilla 3.0 from mozilla's tar, but bash is telling me that thunderbird-bin doesn't exist? it definitley does exist | 08:24 |
| GG19 | is there a way to put specific icons to files? I dont know where to look, and I don't mean theme icons I mean custom icons. | 08:25 |
| Jowi | alex87, cd into the directory and launch it with ./filename | 08:25 |
| ardchoille | GG19: right flick the file, Properties, in the Basic tab click the icon and change it | 08:26 |
| Awesome3000 | cousin_mario: Think the installer would ask about them | 08:26 |
| EastDallas | cousin_mario: as far as I can tell, that's the only repo that exists for tbird3 | 08:27 |
| GG19 | ardchoille, thank you so much :( | 08:27 |
| GG19 | opps | 08:27 |
| GG19 | :) | 08:27 |
| GG19 | dark room keys are hard to see | 08:27 |
| cousin_mario | Awesome3000: I assume installing those from a tarball would conflict with the ones installed normally | 08:27 |
| cousin_mario | EastDallas: ok | 08:27 |

| pat|nG | do u really need to install that server? | 08:34 |
| pat|nG | is it for work? | 08:34 |

| pat|nG | go for player | 08:34 |
| pat|nG | player is easy | 08:34 |
| jm95 | is there a guide anywhere for setting it up | 08:34 |
| pat|nG | yup | 08:34 |
| pat|nG | mostly from vmware player | 08:34 |
| pat|nG | server is quiet complicated to config tho | 08:35 |
| jm95 | does player do the same as server? | 08:35 |
| sefram | EastDallas: Best thing after you installed it you never get rid of all that crap it leaves on your system... | 08:35 |
| Phil0926 | hey does anyone here know how i can get Ventrilo on Ubuntu 9.10 | 08:35 |
| EastDallas | sefram: unfortunately, amd dropped updated support for a lot of their hardware...I had to go out and buy an nvidia card for my desktop machine. | 08:35 |
| pat|nG | but in documentation here...i mean in site....u'll find lots of vmware player setups for ubuntu | 08:35 |
| jm95 | ok il take a look thanks for your advice | 08:35 |
| pat|nG | u just need to virtualize right? | 08:36 |
| pat|nG | so go for player | 08:36 |
| jm95 | yes want an xp running | 08:36 |
| pat|nG | player will do for that | 08:36 |
| jm95 | brill thanks | 08:36 |
| Phil0926 | hey does anyone here know how i can get Ventrilo working | 08:36 |
| pat|nG | welcome | 08:36 |
| sefram | EastDallas: its quite new one, but i think i never will give AMD any money again and buy only nVidia / Intel in the future... Shame on you guys from AMD... | 08:36 |
| pat|nG | or vbox if u like | 08:36 |
| pat|nG | try | 08:36 |
| Phil0926 | i got it and run the install and wine but dont see any sort of .exe or on my WineDoors life | 08:37 |
| EastDallas | sefram: Ubuntu didn't offer to install the proprietary drivers for you via jockey? | 08:37 |
| Phil0926 | i never use AMD/ATI | 08:37 |
| Phil0926 | i alwas build Nvid/Intel | 08:37 |
| === zzz is now known as jerrcs | ||
| pat|nG | but i do use vmware | 08:37 |
| sefram | EastDallas: Its the same crap as the one from the amd page, it offered it but it wont work in karmic... I heard it should work on hardy, but i want to use a system which is up to date... | 08:38 |
| EastDallas | sefram: sorry :( | 08:39 |

| _DarkStar_ | thanks | 08:54 |
| _DarkStar_ | E: Invalid operation firefox | 08:54 |
| _DarkStar_ | ; | 08:54 |
| arand | rick__: wrong | 08:54 |
| _DarkStar_ | doesnt seem to work rick__ | 08:55 |
| rick__ | sec | 08:55 |
| _DarkStar_ | lol... figured so arand | 08:55 |
| ardchoille | sudo apt-get install firefox | 08:55 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 08:55 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: to install packages it is "sudo apt-get install <packagename>" | 08:55 |
| _DarkStar_ | 8.04 i think | 08:55 |
| rick__ | lol what ardchoille said | 08:55 |
| _DarkStar_ | Description:Ubuntu 8.10 arand | 08:56 |
| EastDallas | _DarkStar_: you'll have to install shiretoko to install a newer version on 8.10 | 08:56 |
| _DarkStar_ | i am learining some bash commands :P | 08:56 |
| rick__ | hmm for some reason nautilus wont change file permissions for me recursively :( | 08:56 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: try "apt-cache policy firefox" to see whether there are suitable updates for you | 08:56 |
| _DarkStar_ | i am learining some bash commands :P | 08:56 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: listen to eastdallas. | 08:56 |
| _DarkStar_ | EastDallas: it seems i have 8.10 :P | 08:56 |
| _DarkStar_ | arand: i have 8.10 lol | 08:57 |
| _DarkStar_ | shell is very... new to my windows mind | 08:57 |
| EastDallas | _DarkStar_: Shiretoko is the "codename" for Firefox 3.5. | 08:57 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: Use synaptic package manager and install the "firefox-3.0" package | 08:58 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: type "apt-cache policy firefox" to see which versions are available for your 8.10 release | 08:58 |
| arand | oCean_: That'll only give info about v2 | 08:58 |
| meganerd | 8.10 is EOL, time to upgrade | 08:58 |
| oCean_ | arand: it will give info on what is available | 08:58 |
| kraut | moin | 08:59 |
| rick__ | anyone know why after I set /usr/games permissions to be the user "games" and group "games" I now get access denied for everything inside of it? | 08:59 |
| rick__ | I have made myself part of the "games" group also | 08:59 |
| EastDallas | _DarkStar_: do you see a package called 'shiretoko' in synaptic? | 09:00 |
| _DarkStar_ | it says firefox is already at its newest version | 09:00 |
| _DarkStar_ | but my "about" on firefox says version 2 | 09:00 |
| oCean_ | meganerd: not eol yet | 09:00 |
| arand | EastDallas: for 8.10 there is no shiretoko | 09:00 |
| _DarkStar_ | arand is correct... | 09:00 |
| _DarkStar_ | arand: what exactly is the latest version of firefox? | 09:01 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: did you try the apt-cache policy command? | 09:01 |
| EastDallas | _DarkStar_: take a look at this: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page | 09:01 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: so use the "firefox-3.0" package. | 09:01 |
| _DarkStar_ | Version 3? | 09:01 |
| _DarkStar_ | ok no worries i solved it... | 09:02 |
| troublescoot | ok guys, this is driving me insane. i have a barebones ubuntu install. installed webmin, then installed apache2 using apt-get ... now webmin doesn't seem to see that apache2 is running. can someone help me figure this out? | 09:02 |
| _DarkStar_ | i was using an alpha1.1 version a while back was really lightweight but changed all my shortcuts | 09:02 |
| _DarkStar_ | just had to change my shortcuts back to the original firefox | 09:02 |
| _DarkStar_ | and its solved :P | 09:02 |
| EastDallas | troublescoot: you installed apache2 after webmin? | 09:02 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: 3.5 is I think... 3.6 and 3.7 still in development, but old versions of ubuntu will obviously lag in versions | 09:03 |
| oCean_ | !webmin | troublescoot, mind you: | 09:03 |
| ubottu | troublescoot, mind you:: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 09:03 |
| troublescoot | EastDallas: yes | 09:03 |
| troublescoot | ebox? ok | 09:03 |
| _DarkStar_ | arand: i see their is a 9.04 do u suggest upgrading to it? | 09:03 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: latest is 9.10 | 09:03 |
| === papul is now known as papul|away | ||
| _DarkStar_ | i had to clean install the previous time since 9.04 doesnt support touchpad | 09:03 |
| oCean_ | afk > papul|away | 09:03 |
| oCean_ | !afk > papul|away | 09:04 |
| ubottu | papul|away, please see my private message | 09:04 |
| _DarkStar_ | oCean_: well on 9.04 i lost usage of my touchpad | 09:04 |
| EastDallas | troublescoot: I think that's your problem...You might try completely removing webmin and reinstall. FWIW I use webmin on 3 karmic servers fine. | 09:04 |
| oCean_ | _DarkStar_: probably kernel boot option, like acpi=off or something | 09:04 |
| troublescoot | EastDallas: ok, let me try that | 09:04 |
| Blues- | one question .. if I move HD's between 2 ubuntu servers .. will the UUID of the disks be the same ? | 09:05 |
| _DarkStar_ | oCean_: if u refer to google forums im not the only one experiecing this and its a known bug for older laptops :) | 09:05 |
| oCean_ | EastDallas: troublescoot that might be, but this is not the channel to expect support. Since, well, it's no longer supported | 09:05 |
| _DarkStar_ | ubuntu forums* | 09:05 |

| troublescoot | oCean_: i understand -- i've just been Googling this one issue for a few hours now like a zombie, so i figured i'd come here. i appreciate any help at all at this point | 09:06 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: guess you could always try out 9.20 and see if the touchpad works, just running the liveCD should give you an idea.. | 09:06 |
| arand | _DarkStar_: 9.10 sorry | 09:06 |
| _DarkStar_ | arand: im using xubuntu at the moment lol... | 09:07 |

| Xfact | I am using ubuntu 9.10 and in some cases like google gadgets offering two versions of .deb package 1st based on 'GTK2 and another is based on 'Qt'...which one is decent and I should take? | 09:28 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| meganerd | Xfact: qt for KDE, GTK2 for Gnome | 09:28 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: gtk is the toolkit used by gtk apps (gnome), qt is the toolkit used by kde apps | 09:28 |
| troublescoot | do you guys recommend Bind as my DNS server? | 09:29 |
| meganerd | troublescoot: bind is what I use here at home | 09:29 |
| Xfact | so GTK is preferable? | 09:29 |
| Metzgerr | my guark terminal is not transparent anymore, settings are ok. any hint? | 09:29 |
| Xfact | as I am using ubntu based on Gnome | 09:29 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: in your case, yes | 09:29 |
| meganerd | Xfact: it depends on which environment you are using | 09:29 |
| meganerd | though either will work, there is really no "better" option | 09:29 |
| troublescoot | meganerd: i'm doing my first ubuntu dedicated server setup and trying to figure out how best to set it up | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | True, gnome apps work in kde and kde apps work fine in gnome | 09:30 |
| troublescoot | doing a mass migration from a shared hosting environment to the dedi | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | Xfact: since you're aksing this question, I would recommend sticking with gtk stuff for now | 09:30 |
| Xfact | Kubntu users can use Qt based apps? | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | yes, qt is a toolkit used to write kde gui apps | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | iirc, GTK = Gimp Tool Kit, which was originally designed for The GIMP app itself | 09:32 |

| alteregoa | i installed ubuntu-satanic | 09:55 |
| troublescoot | don't worry -- i won't go too crazy with questions, just wanted a push in the right direction | 09:55 |
| alteregoa | ubuntu-satanic looks very nice | 09:55 |
| alteregoa | maybe its politically incorrect to add it in to the main releases | 09:56 |
| xss | ubuntu is good | 09:56 |
| alteregoa | but ubuntu-satanic has beautiful login screens and screensavers | 09:56 |
| erUSUL | alteregoa: it is one of the many derivatives that we do not support here ... | 09:56 |
| maco | alteregoa: particularly for halloween | 09:56 |
| xss | i m the creater of ubuntu | 09:57 |
| maco | erUSUL: er, its not exactly a derivative. it's not a distro. it's a single theme package | 09:57 |
| EastDallas | troublescoot: I'm no DNS guru, that's just a guide I used in the past. | 09:57 |
| EastDallas | :p | 09:57 |
| alteregoa | erUSUL, who cares if #ubuntu supports ubuntu-satanic, its open source so anybody can do what he want with it | 09:57 |
| erUSUL | alteregoa: true; but offtopic | 09:57 |
| troublescoot | EastDallas: fair enough. DNS is an ugly beast to tackle. | 09:57 |
| troublescoot | :] | 09:57 |
| alteregoa | yeah life is offtopic | 09:57 |
| Hans_Henrik | well not everything.. can't exactly change the name and start selling it | 09:57 |
| maveas | Lol xss | 09:58 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: um, yes you can | 09:58 |
| arand | _Darkstar_: Well, I actually have no idea, have never really used them, the downside of those in my experience, is them being somewhat more tricky to configure.. | 09:58 |
| Hans_Henrik | maco: but like "legally do it", unless your... whoever ubuntu is copyrighted to (canonical inc?) | 09:58 |
| alteregoa | i cant stand those political correctness of ubuntu | 09:58 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: removing copyright statements and claiming you wrote it all and refusing to give others the source is about all you can't do | 09:58 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: renaming is *well* within the protections of the GPL | 09:58 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: selling for cash is also perfectly ok | 09:58 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: i suggest you read the GPL some time | 09:59 |
| _Darkstar_ | ........ | 09:59 |
| alteregoa | i read the GPL any day | 09:59 |
| EastDallas | troublescoot: much more comprehensive and might answer your question : http://www.bind9.net/manual/bind/9.3.2/Bv9ARM.html | 09:59 |
| erUSUL | Hans_Henrik: you only have to respect the ubuntu trademark policies ( www.ubuntu.com/legal ) and the license of the varius packages | 09:59 |
| alteregoa | heh the kernel 2.6.33 brings a major performance improvement for applications in the foreground | 09:59 |
| alteregoa | they changed something in the process scheduler | 10:00 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: and the trademark policy is actually more like "please DO change the name so people dont get confused" | 10:00 |
| * airtonix hears collective scratching of thousands scrambling to install 2.6.33 | 10:00 | |
| maco | alteregoa: please go to #ubuntu-offtopic as you do not appear to be asking a support question | 10:00 |
| alteregoa | ok inspector maco | 10:00 |
| erUSUL | given that 2.6.33 is not even released i do not think so airtonix :) | 10:01 |
| airtonix | hence the scratching | 10:01 |
| troublescoot | EastDallas: thanks! | 10:01 |
| alteregoa | erSUL, ok RC4 is still 3 or 4 cycles away from the final release | 10:01 |
| alteregoa | whateer erusul means | 10:02 |
| Hans_Henrik | maco: but lets say i made my own app witch weren't open source, commercial, and i needed some small potion of the ubuntu kernel code for whatever, then i would be forced to give the source code of my app to all i send/sold it to? | 10:02 |
| erUSUL | alteregoa: ;) | 10:03 |

| Guest26848 | maco:what should i do when it is 32bit? | 10:03 |
| erUSUL | Hans_Henrik: if you use gpl code you have to ovide by the gpl license or stop distributing... #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss further | 10:03 |
| maco | Hans_Henrik: you would not be allowed to make it not open source. it MUST also be GPLv2 | 10:03 |

| Hans_Henrik | could i bypass the GPL-lisence by just making a wrapper for some DLL open source, and the dll is the 1 actually doing stuff? :p | 10:06 |
| Hans_Henrik | (well and the wrapper has the gpl-2 code specific stuff) | 10:06 |
| MASARUwota | Hans_Henrik: youre not allowed to use GPL stuff in commercial software. An exception is LGPL, which DOES allow you to do that. but afaik the ubuntu kernel = linux kernel = GPL | 10:08 |

| myzonez | theadmin, oh thanks. And I want to upgrade my 9.04 to karmic koala.....and I want to use KDE. but I think I read somewhere that its recommended to update everything using the update manager and then go for the system upgrade. is it true? | 11:38 |
| theadmin | myzonez: Well, yes, it is | 11:38 |
| mickster04 | jami, well it doesnt seem to be connecting....can u give me a more detailed responce? | 11:39 |

| hipitihop | My BT keyboard / mouse woks for a while and then drops out. I have to re-insert dongle and sometimes re-pair to get it back, where do I look to see why this is happening ? | 11:40 |
| MASARUwota | Andorin: add 'compiz --replace' to autostart | 11:41 |
| jami | mickster04: the manpage will give you detailed responce. man ifconfig, iwup, iwdown. | 11:41 |
| myzonez | theadmin: oh. So I guess i'll install KDE after the upgrade. But the peculiar thing is, I can't find 'KDE' in my synaptic manager...though I can use the apt-get stuff, I notice that a lot of things are missing...I was using ubuntu before and I had to format my computer....I installed this again from the very same cd. Any idea what's wrong? I think canonical withdrew the support for jaunty | 11:41 |
| Andorin | MASARUwota: K | 11:41 |
| theadmin | myzones: That is called "kubuntu-desktop", not "KDE" by now | 11:41 |
| myzonez | theadmin, and Kubuntu is an entirely different thing? I mean I can' | 11:42 |

| paulus | Hi | 11:53 |
| QPrime | jami: I hear ya... but I'd say that most people in #ubuntu are just looking for a (fairly) simple editor cli based editor to muck with config files. nano usually fits the bill pretty well (or joe if you're feeling freaky) | 11:53 |
| paulus | Last week I upgraded my desktop to Karmic Koala | 11:54 |

| abu | how i repaire | 11:55 |
| jami | paulus: did you overwriting some configs during upgrade | 11:55 |
| Arabus | QPrime: I would vouch for vi instead, since most of its usage reappears in many unix applications | 11:56 |
| amikrop | oCean_: And what can I do to fix that keyboard problem? It just showed up yesterday first time, while I have the Ubuntu installation for years. | 11:56 |

| sam__ | OK how do I make the output of cp dump files in a folder? | 12:02 |
| jrib | Andorin: the proper way is to use System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects | 12:03 |
| jrib | sam__: cp copies files. Tell it to copy the file « find » found to /again. | 12:03 |
| Andorin | jrib: I know. But the Visual Effects are getting reset to None every time I log in. | 12:03 |
| jrib | Andorin: does it happen with a new user? | 12:03 |
| qualitang | ubuntu 8.10, network manager won't automatically reconnect to wireless network after a router reboot. Any ideas?.. | 12:04 |

| Andorin | jrib: Yeah. | 12:07 |

| jrib | sam__: because "/folder" is not the same as "~/.../folder" | 12:08 |
| jami | qualitang: you have to save your password | 12:08 |

| qualitang | jami: password is saved, it just waits for me to press OK to reconnect, i don't have to put the password in again.. | 12:09 |
| theadmin | sam__: Yeah, for a relative path use, like, ./folder | 12:10 |
| theadmin | (I guess) | 12:10 |
| jami | qualitang: a mom i got that behaviour on my own | 12:10 |
| sam__ | OK working now, thanks all | 12:10 |
| jrib | Andorin: well now we're sure it's a configuration issue. First, get rid of that startup command you added. I believe Desktop Effects uses gconf, so check your permissions on gconf. Do you know how to do this? | 12:10 |
| Andorin | jrib: Sure, hold on | 12:11 |
| jami | qualitang: but after a fail connection the NM works again | 12:11 |

| hipitihop | _nmap, don't worry about your English. Nut you will need to understand the real manufacturer of your device and then you should be able to find if there is a driver available for it | 12:18 |

| jrib | Andorin: I think there's a key for the window manager gnome uses in gconf. You should be able to find it if you search for "compiz" or "metacity" in key values (I don't have desktop effects). See if that's what gets changed when you toggle the setting in the gui. Also someone in #compiz might just know | 12:19 |

| Dr_Willis | Guest1530: prioberly easier to use unetbootin and a spare flash drive to make a bootable 'installer flash ddrive' | 12:38 |
| hipitihop | amikrop, the only idea I have is that it sounds like a broken or dirty keyboard with one or more of the keys sticking. | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | AshishMalik: thers various network monitor tools. conky can do it, as can gkrellem and proberly a dozen others if you want 'realtime' status. If you want in depth analisys - theres ntop | 12:39 |
| DJones | Guest1530: If you've got a usb key and your machine is capeable of booting from usb in the bios settings, you could create a bootable usb key and install from that | 12:40 |

| Dr_Willis | amikrop: at least not in the same ways that many desktop keyboards do - :) | 12:40 |
| Guest1530 | thanks | 12:41 |
| hipitihop | amikrop, so you need to eliminate that possibility. One way is to plug in another keyboard. If it works, then you know it is your keyboard. If the problem persists then we would have to look elsewhere. since you do not have naother one, then the only other thing I can think of is to try and clean the keybaord and make sure there is nothing stuck between keys etc. | 12:41 |
| AshishMalik | thanks | 12:42 |
| hipitihop | amikrop, I am not a hardware person so I have no idea about laptop keyboards so yes I would advise caution removing anything. A lot of keyboards are usb these days, a frined have one you can borrow ? | 12:43 |

| Johnny_425 | It resizes the partition | 13:08 |

| Audible | Johnnny : so it doesnt delete Windows partition if i choose to install it ? | 13:09 |
| DJones | Audible: It will do either depending on what you ask, if you're resizing though, its always worth making a backup beforehand in case something goes wrong | 13:09 |
| arand | Audible: depends on what you choose, default is resize and create a new ubuntu alongside | 13:09 |
| Audible | okey, and keep the windows with a smaller side? | 13:09 |

| sipior | timwood: ls -l is perfectly fine :-) | 13:15 |
| llutz | timwood: stat /etc/ssh/ssh_host* | 13:15 |
| brijith | arand:but the CD I ahve with me now is 9.10 | 13:15 |
| timwood | sipior: ls -l showed last modified months ago. | 13:15 |
| arand | brijith: ah, then it will be "grub-legacy" Then | 13:15 |
| timwood | llutz: I will try stat | 13:15 |
| Emry | If the USB drive is too large, will it ignore it? :/ | 13:15 |
| timwood | Any other ideas before I head down to server room, as I cannot safely connect to the machine via ssh. | 13:16 |
| sipior | timwood: i think you're making a bit much out of this, frankly. | 13:16 |
| brijith | arand:can I recover using ubunt u9.10 install CD | 13:17 |
| sipior | timwood: are you the only one responsible for this machine? | 13:17 |
| timwood | really? How can I trust my server's identity if it's ssh key fingerprint has changed. | 13:17 |
| timwood | sipior: yes. | 13:17 |
| arand | brijith: so from the liveCD you'll first have to install grub ("legacy"), look in synaptic for the package named "grub" it should be version ~0.97 or something, and install that (this will remove the grub-pc package, which is as it should be) | 13:17 |
| dexterddit | exit | 13:17 |
| timwood | I'm considering having our CIRT have a look at it just in case. | 13:17 |
| jrib | timwood: there was update maybe a year ago that changed keys because they weren't safe, but the update made it clear that it was going to do so | 13:17 |
| timwood | jrib: got link or update number? I'll search in the meantime. | 13:18 |
| timwood | by the way this is a Ubuntu 9.04 server. | 13:18 |
| brijith | arand:u says I have to go live on 9.10 and install grub | 13:19 |
| jrib | timwood: if you run updates regularly then it shouldn't be it. Googling something like "debian ssh fiasco" should get you info about what I'm referring to | 13:19 |
| timwood | thanks jrib | 13:19 |
| brijith | arand:will it get installed in the already existing ubuntu installation | 13:19 |
| timwood | I do run updates regularly and this server hasn't been installed for very long to begin with. Sometime late last year. | 13:20 |
| timwood | just before 9.10 came out. | 13:20 |
| arand | brijith: yes, boot into the liveCD, and then downgrade the temporary version used there from grub2->grub-legacy according to instructions above, no this will only apply to the liveCD temporary environment, but we need that to be able to restore it to the disk in the next step | 13:20 |
| llutz | timwood: then it shouldn't be affected by that key-change | 13:21 |
| Draccy | Alrighty. I've upgraded to Karmic and I'd like my old GDM setup back. What do I do? | 13:21 |
| brijith | arand:oky tell me the steps I will not it down and try it | 13:21 |
| blinkiz | Hi. I need to find a string in many files. '</div></span></span>' is the string. grep -R '</div></span></span>' ./* did not work. Any suggestion how to solve this? | 13:21 |
| timwood | So theoretically someone might have gotten "root" on my machine and changed the keys and covered their tracks with regard to timestamps? | 13:21 |
| sipior | timwood: unlikely, but possible, i suppose. have you reinstalled the openssh package at any time recently? | 13:22 |
| bicz | hello | 13:23 |
| arand | brijith: http://pastebin.com/m6360b19a (quoting myself) | 13:23 |
| timwood | I'll double check on the openssh package, but I don't think so. I just run the standard updates from ubuntu. | 13:23 |
| bicz | is it possible to delay programs @ startup? | 13:23 |
| jrib | bicz: like? | 13:24 |
| brijith | arand:oky that will install the grub in to the live environment. what I have to do next | 13:24 |
| brijith | ? | 13:24 |
| bicz | jrib: i have xchat and emesene in "system-preferences-startup" and i would like to delay them | 13:25 |
| oistopthat | delay or stop on startup bicz | 13:25 |
| jrib | bicz: create a shell script and have it "sleep N" where N is the number of seconds, before starting your application | 13:25 |
| timwood | thanks jrib, llutz and sipior for the advice. | 13:25 |
| arand | brijith: It'd be good if you could join the chat here from the liveCD, but I could link you to a page of instructions. | 13:26 |

| FloodBot1 | Draccy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:28 |
| jrib | bicz: no, you need to create your own little shell script in a text editor. line 1: #!/bin/bash line 2: sleep 10 line 3: xchat | 13:28 |
| jrib | bicz: then make it executable and add that to your startup | 13:28 |

| === jbake_ is now known as jbake | ||
| abu | actually i was install ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 | 13:42 |
| arvind_khadri | abu, you mean you want to install 9.10 ? | 13:42 |
| arand | Darael: corrupt profile would be a guess, try running "firefox -P" and creating a new one. | 13:42 |
| Darael | abu: If you installed with Wubi, remove it from within Windows, otherwise just put something else over the top. If you're in a dual-boot situation, use the partition manager for whichever OS you want to keep to remove the other partitions. | 13:42 |
| abu | i already installed both 9.04 and 9.10 | 13:42 |
| silverrocker | hey quick question. I want to the clock/date app in gnome-panel to display the date in another format how can I change this. or what other applet do I need? | 13:42 |
| Darael | arand: Thanks for the tip, but it segfaults with -P too! | 13:43 |
| abu | i want to remove 9.04 | 13:43 |
| arvind_khadri | silverrocker, check the properties in the clock applet | 13:43 |
| arand | Darael: ah, then it's probably something else, and I'm as clueless as you. | 13:43 |
| silverrocker | arvind_khadri: I tried nothing there | 13:43 |
| arvind_khadri | abu, use a live cd and just format the partitionm | 13:43 |
| abu | can you plz tell me how to do that | 13:44 |
| arvind_khadri | silverrocker, right click on it and you get preferences | 13:44 |
| silverrocker | arvind_khadri: I did that but I dont want that, I want to change the format that the date is displayed. I want it to do DD.MM.YYYY | 13:44 |
| arvind_khadri | abu, boot from the live cd, and then go till the partition table step and then format the drive which has 9.04 | 13:44 |
| abu | ok i will try | 13:45 |
| arand | arvind_khadri: abu: it may be the case that the grub in use is still on the 9.04 partition, which might cause problems if not fixed before removing.. | 13:45 |
| arand | arvind_khadri: abu: Or rather, you'll have to reinstall it from the liveCD.. | 13:46 |

| linenoise | I mean without taping an insulator over the damn thing. | 13:47 |
| arand | arvind_khadri: I don't know what it does with the bootloaders if it just overwrites the mbr and uses grub2 on the 9.10 partition, it seems logical it should, but I'm not completely sure... | 13:47 |

| linenoise | and every time my thumb even comes near it, the stupid pointer flies off the screen | 13:50 |

| linenoise | arvind_khadri: no effect whatsoever | 13:50 |
| jrib | linenoise: theres' usually a bios setting | 13:50 |
| linenoise | there is no bios setting on the e6500 | 13:51 |
| arvind_khadri | linenoise, modprobe -r psmouse | 13:51 |
| Darael | silverrocker: try alt+f2, enter "gconf-editor" and change keys in /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs - change the fromat key to "custom" and the custom_format key to "%d.%m.%y %r %p" for 12-hour time, or replace the "%r %p" with "%R" for 24-your time.

| jaguar6 | yeah i got the .jar working | 14:02 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, yeah | 14:02 |
| jaguar6 | this is a very general question | 14:02 |
| jaguar6 | where do i install my programs to | 14:02 |
| Darael | jaguar6: If you want it for your own user only, put it somewhere in ~/ - otherwise, non-distro software is usually installed in /opt | 14:03 |
| jaguar6 | im absolutely new to this | 14:03 |
| SeaOrifice | actually the source of the driver is part of kernel | 14:03 |
| Rigs77 | ragazzi come si fa a scaricare i film con xchat? grazie a tutti | 14:03 |

| llutz | Leoneof`: sure but /root is pointless | 14:03 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: Yaes - just choose manual partitioning at install time. | 14:03 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, why do you want to compile it, if its already there in the kernel? | 14:04 |
| Zta | How do I install the Glassfish appserver properly from packages? After I 'apt-get install glassfish-*' I only get a bunch for jar files installed. I was expecting 'asadmin' somewhere in my $PATH and perhaps a '/etc/init.d/glassfish'. | 14:04 |
| jaguar6 | Darael: it wont let me install to /opt | 14:04 |
| SeaOrifice | many a times, my card is not supported by some other linux distros | 14:04 |
| SeaOrifice | especially live distros | 14:04 |
| SeaOrifice | earlier | 14:04 |
| Leoneof` | Darael: what the purpose if i do this way? | 14:04 |
| jaguar6 | it says something, sorry i have to translate, like the directory your aiming for cant be changed | 14:04 |
| SeaOrifice | ubuntu live didnt support | 14:04 |
| Darael | jaguar6: It may not exist as a folder, or maybe you aren't installing it as root. | 14:05 |

| jaguar6 | do i have to install it as root? | 14:05 |
| Darael | jaguar6: probably not a good idea. | 14:05 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, once support is added it stays | 14:05 |
| Darael | jaguar6: But only root can write to various folders, /opf being one. | 14:05 |
| jaguar6 | im fucked, i need this program for a paper that i have to hand in tomorrow | 14:05 |
| l3ns | hi | 14:06 |
| SeaOrifice | arvind_khadri: i am using a Ubuntu based distro, in that it doesnt | 14:06 |
| Darael | jaguar6: Just put it somewhere in ~/ for now. | 14:06 |
| llutz | jaguar6: just install it to any dir inside your home | 14:06 |
| jaguar6 | ok thx | 14:06 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, have you installed it, which version, whats the card? | 14:06 |
| chiiiiiz | does anyone know how to improve the display with a Intel 82915G/GV/910GL chipset... I am stuck at 1024x768 on a Karmic | 14:06 |
| jaguar6 | same problem | 14:06 |
| SeaOrifice | lemme give u all the details, hang on | 14:06 |
| arvind_khadri | !fixres | chiiiiiz | 14:06 |

| Leoneof` | llutz: what the purpose if i make separated partitions for example like /var and /root ? it is good or not? | 14:07 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: imho separat /root is senseless | 14:07 |
| Leoneof` | llutz: why? | 14:07 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: It depends - usually not needed on a desktop system, but putting /usr and /home on different disks to / can be useful. | 14:08 |
| SeaOrifice | arvind_khadri: have a look at KERNELSOURCEPATH/drivers/net/sc92031.c | 14:08 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: you actually shouldn't work as root so root won't have special things to keep | 14:08 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: /root is just root's home folder - it shouldn't have more than a few kilobytes in it anyway. | 14:08 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, am asking which ubuntu version you are using, and whats the card model!! | 14:08 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: also it is very unlikely that /root fills your /-fs | 14:08 |
| SeaOrifice | i currently downloaded a linux kernel (source) and i found it | 14:08 |
| SeaOrifice | its there in that file arvind_khadri | 14:08 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: so where do you see any advantage in extra /root ? | 14:09 |
| hadean | heeeeeey guys y dont u help some nub: somehow i got it to work that my apache install wont start up with the system on a restart... can someone help? | 14:09 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, are you using Karmic ??> | 14:09 |
| bloodski | i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas? | 14:09 |
| ouyes | hi everybody i want to have a bluetooth ear phone | 14:09 |
| SeaOrifice | arvind_khadri: i am asking in general | 14:09 |
| Leoneof` | Darael, llutz : when i tried to install Ubuntu, i've seen many options to make partitions like /var /root ...etc i cant remember more | 14:09 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: Some of the folders in / (the filesystem root, not the same as /root) are useful on their own partitions, it's just that /root isn't one of them... usually. | 14:09 |
| hadean | im using karmic up2date and the apache install was installed via apt from the general sources | 14:10 |
| ouyes | is anyone using it now? | 14:10 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: given options not always make sense | 14:10 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, it cant be answered in general, and drivers from different trees cant be compiled... e.g drivers from 2.6.32 cant be used in 2.6.31 | 14:10 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: /usr, /tmp, /var, /home and a few others can be useful, but those options are most useful in multiple-hard-drive scenarios. | 14:10 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: and btw, if you have to ask this, you most likely don't need any extra-partition at all | 14:10 |
| David12841 | why isnt it possible to introduce an extra volume control button on the panel in ubuntu 9.10? | 14:11 |
| Pici | Leoneof`: Just because the partitioner offers them as choices doesn't mean you need to use them :) | 14:11 |
| David12841 | i installed gnome-alsa-mixer | 14:11 |
| SeaOrifice | arvind_khadri: output from lspci -> | 14:11 |
| SeaOrifice | 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 01) | 14:11 |
| Leoneof` | o i c, thanks for the info | 14:11 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, ubuntu 9.10 ? | 14:11 |
| Leoneof` | so i will install Ubuntu with all /var /tmp /usr ..etc in one partition | 14:12 |
| SeaOrifice | the Distro i am using is having a kernel version 2.6.30.2 | 14:12 |
| SeaOrifice | oops not that | 14:12 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: you may put /home extra | 14:12 |
| SeaOrifice | 2.6.30.9 | 14:12 |
| hadean | yupp | 14:12 |
| Leoneof` | that /home extra is like second partition in Windows? | 14:13 |
| rethus | how did i use history in ubuntu on shell? | 14:13 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: Yup - just set one partition to be / and the installer will take care of the rest - you can probably just use one of the guided partitioning options if you don't want a separate /home. | 14:13 |
| hadean | again: where can i check why my apache wont start up with the system? | 14:13 |
| Darael | Leoneof`: /home is where all your user data goes. | 14:13 |
| rethus | on suse i have only to press arrow-key "up" | 14:13 |
| rethus | didn't work on ubuntu?! | 14:13 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: /home is the users-place, where personal things are stored | 14:13 |
| patri85 | hello | 14:13 |
| arvind_khadri | SeaOrifice, run lsb_release -a in a terminal | 14:14 |
| llutz | Leoneof`: extra /home makes backup/restore/reinstallation easier for some people | 14:14 |
| SeaOrifice | arvind_khadri: i m currently not in that OS | 14:14 |
| SeaOrifice | i am using Windows | 14:14 |

| arand | theadmin: if you know sda3 should be there and it doesn't show up in fdisk, chances are the partition table might have gone a bit whacky, the partition table is a set of bytes at the start of the HD detailing where partions boundries start and end | 14:24 |

| scunizi | Foul: check synaptic to see if the non-free version is installed.. if it is uninstall it.. it's not good to have both. Could cause conflicts. as for the audio, after closing skype you might try killall alsa, sudo service pulseaudio restart etc.. | 14:51 |

If it's not free then I'm assuming i would have had to pay for it to get it right? If that's the case then I don't have it. - How would I killall alsa? do I just type that and sudo service pulseaudio restart into a terminal? | 14:53 |

| razertek | erUSUL: can i have both though | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | razertek: yes NM ignores the interfaces that are managed via interfaces. | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | razertek: no you not have your cake and eat it too; sorry ;P | 14:54 |
| sipior | Darael: you'll want to include a few lines of context for each match (the -C switch to grep). or maybe just pastebin the last few hundred lines or so. | 14:54 |
| Darael | Foul: It's non-free not because you have to pay but because of the restrictions on it. The package is "flashplugin-installer" or "flashplugin-nonfree" - I forget which. | 14:54 |
| Foul | Darael: Thanks mate I'll look those up. | 14:54 |
| sipior | Darael: try grep -C 20, to start | 14:54 |
| Darael | sipior: Will do. | 14:54 |
| razertek | erUSUL: before i network restart would tell me unknown interfaces eth0=eth0 forsome reason...so was it a good idea to add it to interfaces? | 14:54 |

| psyk | I have an ASUS G60VX and my pipe/backslash keys just put "< >" - the keyboard model and layout is correct, is there any way I can manually change the keys? | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | razertek: dunno what the problem you are trying to solve is. | 14:57 |
| psyk | It's interfering with my programming, I'll get fired if I don't get this fixed. | 14:57 |
| djMax | I'm using JeOS and trying to use a wifi card, any pointers to how to install the mac80211 module(s)? | 14:58 |
| blackest_knight | hi i was wondering if anyone could do me a favor and download a file and dcc me a copy | 14:58 |
| NoobUser | psyk: I think the easy solution to your problem is just to quit your job. | 14:58 |
| razertek | erUSUL: just why it would tell me unknown interface when i did a network restart before i added it to the interface file | 14:58 |
| sipior | Darael: could you try pastebinning the last five hundred lines or so? | 14:58 |
| Darael | sipior: Certainly, one moment. | 14:58 |
| psyk | NoobUser, not funny | 14:58 |
| jrib | psyk: use xmodmap as a temporary fix, but I'd say your keyboard model is *not* correct | 14:59 |
| petate | Hi: I need the "Remote Desktop" of Ubuntu 9.10 always running, because i have a computer without monitor. When i reboot, the remote desktop didn't start. Any ideas? | 14:59 |
| jrib | model/layout | 14:59 |
| oCean_ | Darael: just wondering, have you rebooted since this issue began? | 14:59 |
| psyk | jrib, the layout is correct, it doesn't show < > under the pipe key, and as for model, there's only 'asus laptop' under asus, so I don't know what else it could be | 14:59 |
| scunizi | psyk: try an external usb keyboard | 14:59 |
| Darael | oCean_: Yup! Sensible to ask, though. | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | razertek: if you use network manager you do not need to do network restarts ... | 15:00 |
| jrib | psyk: it's not correct because you are pressing a key and it is not doing what you expect it to | 15:00 |
| psyk | jrib, thanks though. I'll try xmodmap | 15:00 |

| jbendotnet | hi - am trying to update 9.10 server and get Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/g++-4.4_4.4.1-4ubuntu9_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) any ideas? | 15:01 |
| psyk | razertek, yes. I tried all of the US layouts. | 15:02 |
| petate | Anyone knows how to start "Remote Desktop" from command line? I have an Ubuntu 9.10 working in a computer without monitor. | 15:02 |
| razertek | how about dvorak/programmer? | 15:02 |
| jrib | jbendotnet: is that the full error? | 15:02 |
| MrPockets | rdesktop | 15:02 |
| jbendotnet | jrib: yes | 15:02 |
| razertek | which is a us layout | 15:02 |
| epinky | psyk: xmodmap could help | 15:02 |
| MrPockets | or rather, rdesktop x.x.x.x | 15:02 |
| jbendotnet | jrib: no! | 15:02 |

| Roasted | Has anybody unchecked anything from startup applications and had it stick? When I remove something from startup apps, it gets removed, but if I reopen it after, its back. The only way to REMOVE anything from startup applications is to remove the entire entry. Is this normal?? | 15:03 |
| Darael | MrPockets: I think petate wants to know how to start the server rather than the client. | 15:03 |
| MrPockets | ah | 15:03 |
| psyk | epinky, after looking at the syntax, I don't really know how to use xmodmap. and Google offered no help. | 15:03 |
| MrPockets | no monitor, ..that'd make sense . | 15:03 |
| jrib | psyk: read the official documentation? | 15:03 |

| Roasted | jrib - me:me | 15:05 |
| jrib | Roasted: not permissions then. Check that the file actually changes when you use the gui | 15:05 |
| Roasted | jrib - I think what scunizi said was right. Some things I uncheck uncheck fine. Others re-check themselves, such as gnome-do docky which in the preferences of that app is set to auto start. | 15:06 |

| AmirMohammad | Hi, once I connected to a samba shared folder on a windows box and nautilus asked me username/password and whether remember it forever, I selected remember it forever, and now I want to change it but can't find how to tell it to forget it | 15:06 |
| LuciusMare_ | oof. | 15:07 |
| LuciusMare_ | i just need it urgently, thus i am kinda nervous. | 15:07 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: I (and I bet others) have no clue what the problem is because you broke it up on several lines. | 15:08 |
| LuciusMare_ | i didnt | 15:08 |
| perdigon | buenas me las piro | 15:08 |
| razertek | AmirMohammad: did you google just that yet? | 15:08 |
| hwilde | Darael, nope it just says 8GB Corsair removable media | 15:08 |
| LuciusMare_ | startx tells me i am not authorized and xauth list does not output anything | 15:08 |
| LuciusMare_ | is enough,dont you think? | 15:08 |
| AmirMohammad | razertek: yeah, couldn't find the answer | 15:09 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 15:09 |
| feep | hello,everyone | 15:09 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: what version of ubuntu is this? | 15:09 |
| LuciusMare_ | kubuntu 9.10 | 15:09 |
| LuciusMare_ | hwilde: i am not even running X. | 15:09 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 15:09 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: why are you using startx instead of starting kdm as it does by default? | 15:09 |
| LuciusMare_ | i am not even running x | 15:09 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, just run the command man | 15:10 |
| Darael | hwilde: interesting... usually there's a second volume which will show up as the arch and release... Try booting it, then "uname -a" will include the arch, and "lsb_release -a" will include the version. | 15:10 |
| arand | hwilde: he's using kde. | 15:10 |
| hwilde | this will work for kde and gnome: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 15:11 |

| Tarantulafudge | is there anything like Zune's SmartDJ for Ubuntu? | 15:11 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, undo what you did to break it. | 15:12 |
| LuciusMare_ | i am trying. | 15:12 |
| Darael | LuciusMare_: In that case, have you tried booting in recovery mode and using the xfix option? | 15:12 |
| LuciusMare_ | Darael: not yet, my only problem now is with x authorization | 15:12 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: you can't be helped if you do not answer questions | 15:13 |
| LuciusMare_ | jrib: and you don't listen to what i do tell you | 15:13 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, move your xorg.conf to a backup filename, restart kdm, and you will get a failsafe x session. | 15:13 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: good luck with your issue. | 15:13 |
| LuciusMare_ | i told hwilde thrice times i am not running x | 15:13 |
| hwilde | Darael, I'm trying to avoid booting a dozen usb keys to find the right one.... the version must be in there somewhere | 15:13 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: and he gave you a command to start x. So try it and tell him what the output is. I also asked you a different question | 15:13 |
| Darael | LuciusMare_: All you've actually told us is that you're having a problem with x authorisation, and can't start X - more info would be helpful. | 15:14 |
| LuciusMare_ | xauth list does not output anything | 15:14 |
| LuciusMare_ | i also said | 15:14 |
| LuciusMare_ | startx tells me i am not authorized | 15:14 |
| LuciusMare_ | oh,and my ~/.Xauthority is blank | 15:14 |
| razertek | AmirMohammad: sudo smbpasswd -x username | 15:14 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: repeating what you've already said is not helpful. Answering the new questions we've asked is | 15:14 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, try what I told you, or you are dead to me. | 15:15 |
| charnel | I want to use my ~/www file as the /var/www file is this possible ? I dont want to chmod all the time | 15:15 |
| LuciusMare_ | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 15:15 |
| LuciusMare_ | Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart kdm | 15:15 |

| LuciusMare_ | and exits | 15:15 |
| Tarantulafudge | I can tell that flash actually works faster than on windows 7 | 15:16 |
| hwilde | charnel, you could symlink /var/www to ~/www if you want | 15:16 |
| charnel | thanks | 15:16 |
| Darael | charnel: You could symlink /var/www to ~/www or you could change the group permissions on /var/www | 15:16 |
| sipior | Darael: might you have another account you could try running firefox from? | 15:16 |
| jrib | charnel: a differen approach would be to enable userdirs in apache. Then every user would have their own little space at domain/~username | 15:16 |
| Darael | sipior: absolutely. Back in a tick. | 15:17 |

| charnel | Darael: jrib: hwilde: Thank you very much I think symlink was what i was looking for | 15:17 |
| hwilde | charnel, ln -s | 15:17 |
| razertek | AmirMohammad: did it work? | 15:17 |

| Spage | Java problem. After upgrading to 9.10 java does not exit properly. The process remains after exit as sleeping in the process list. It sucks all the CPU power from the machine | 15:18 |

| tiger1 | checkinstall make my application on application menu ? | 15:18 |
| LuciusMare_ | hwilde: the whole story is about an hungry game, i needed to upgrade my drivers, so i downloaded the not-in-repos-yet ones, and now, update came and i booted with borken x. Through a line of purging,installing and reinstalling, i got to this state - i need to be root to run x, aside from that,it is in perfect condition | 15:19 |
| razertek | Spage: set its priority | 15:19 |
| charnel | but changing group permissions in my home folder will do the job forever right ? | 15:19 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, make a new user with a clean profile and see if they can run x | 15:19 |
| jrib | charnel: same as changing permissions on /var/www | 15:19 |
| llutz | LuciusMare_: ls -l $(which X) | 15:19 |
| charnel | yes I just did not want to change permissions for var/www | 15:20 |
| Darael | charnel: ...or you could make a suitable usergroup, set it to the owning group of /var/www, give it appropriate perms, and make yourself a member. | 15:20 |
| jrib | charnel: that's what you are doing. symlink doesn't have separate permissions | 15:20 |

| LuciusMare_ | jrib: i didnt say i use startx. Aside from that, - "blah,use start kdm,it is an upstart job" > "start kdm" > "job kdm already running" | 15:31 |

| hwilde | LuciusMare_, sudo pastebinit -i /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 15:34 |
| LuciusMare_ | I also earlier answered that the new user cant | 15:34 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: you have to be specific. | 15:34 |
| hwilde | petate, you should use freenx or vnc then. the error message is that there is no xserver on your windows machine to forward the desktop to | 15:34 |
| LuciusMare_ | jrib: okay, same problem as me,not authorized to run x | 15:34 |

| Explore1 | Darael, i dint get you? | 15:40 |
| razertek | FortyTwo: did you check all your setting in evo? | 15:40 |
| genixpro | I'm on my laptop, and i was sure it has a radeon mobile, it should work better then this | 15:40 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, backup your xorg.conf, delete it, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 15:40 |
| LuciusMare_ | oof. | 15:41 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: what does this return: sudo grep allowed /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config (hope you can do 2 things at once) | 15:41 |

| Urda | Hello fellow ubuntu users! Question: How can I get php5 to run without Suhosin? It appears as if the package for apache and CLI both have it on by default. I have a 9.10 x86 server OS that needs it | 15:41 |
| LuciusMare_ | hwilde: i said already, it tells me its an upstart job, so i got to use start kdm,i use it, kdm already running | 15:41 |
| jrib | hwilde: i have to leave soon anwyay | 15:41 |
| genixpro | however, when i go into the hardware drivers, it doesnt give me the option to install any graphics cards drivers. only my wireless card | 15:41 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, honestly, my rule of thumb is if it's not fixed after 1 hour, reinstall from cd. | 15:42 |
| LuciusMare_ | jrib: allowed_users=console | 15:42 |
| onetinsoldier | genixpro: i wouldn't know much about that. sound interesting though! have you checked to see if there's a #mesa channel? | 15:42 |
| Darael | Explore1: Ah, not a clue then. However, it's likely that some of the stuff you've got from apt-cache searching would be removed if you aptitude searched - it usually returns fewer, more relevant results. | 15:42 |
| Spage | razertek: what does "renice" mean? | 15:43 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: for kicks, read the file, use debconf to change it to anyone and see if it makes a difference (revert it later) | 15:43 |
| LuciusMare_ | debconf? | 15:43 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: dpkg-reconfigure blah, the file explains | 15:43 |
| genixpro | well i dont expect mesa alone to work onetinsoldier, I would like to install vendor drivers, but nothing is showing up in the menu where they usually pop up | 15:43 |

| LuciusMare_ | luist: command 2>&1 | 15:45 |

| onetinsoldier | genixpro: roger. i have a desktop ati card here... | 15:45 |
| LuciusMare_ | jrib: i didnt even bother, my .Xauthority still blank | 15:45 |
| luist | so if i want to redirect all output to a file i can use command 2>&1 > myfile? | 15:45 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: erm, what did you do that you expect it to become non-blank? | 15:46 |
| LuciusMare_ | jrib: dpkg-reconfigured everything with xserver or xorg in its name ^^ | 15:46 |
| === pungo is now known as x-nux | ||
| LuciusMare_ | not really | 15:46 |

| arand | hwilde: *facepalms | 15:50 |
| rjurney | hwilde: Redhat 4, 5 or SuSE? | 15:50 |
| jrib | LuciusMare_: anyway I have to go, google also claims kdm/gdm create a new xauthority everytime. You also have errors in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 15:50 |
| hwilde | rjurney, depends on the rpm itself actually, and where it wants to put files, what it is expecting etc | 15:50 |
| genixpro | onetinsoldier: thank you i am taking a look | 15:50 |
| Darael | rjurney: It's not guaranteed, but if you install the package "alien" you may be able to convert it to an installable debian package. | 15:51 |
| rjurney | huh | 15:51 |
| hwilde | LuciusMare_, jrib, I agree it has nothing to do with .xauthority. but blowing away xorg.conf should get you a failsafe. if that doesnt work you have serious problems. | 15:51 |
| rjurney | That kinda sucks | 15:51 |
| hwilde | rjurney, did you TRY to install the rpm yet | 15:51 |

| Fud-- | the mixer doesn't help | 15:56 |
| hwilde | onetinsoldier, I think M is for mute, and the arrow keys up and down adjust volume. there is a little Mute symbol at the bottom of each channel | 15:57 |
| JohnnyDoe | trying to connect to my vpn.. were could i find the vpn's gateway | 15:57 |
| JohnnyDoe | anyone | 15:57 |
| onetinsoldier | yeah.. i don't think the mixer is going to help, but i am going to play with it some here to try and see. i'll close all programs too, although all i have open is firefox, my gnome-terminal, and xchat | 15:57 |

| Darael | linny: What are you trying to accomplish? There may be a better way - and to give a straight answer, whether it's possible depends on the package, so I doubt there's a guide. | 16:08 |
| c_nick | wht can best work on a p4 845gv chip | 16:09 |

| JediMaster | llutz, e.g. did "dig 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa @localhost" and it comes up with a cname to another PTR | 16:16 |
| JediMaster | Urda, why do you need it without suhosin? | 16:17 |
| llutz | JediMaster: you read the part about "internet wide reverse dns"? | 16:17 |
| {aaron} | hi guys, i was wondering if there was a generic way to restore/foreground X apps? my running apps disappeared in blackbox and I don't know how to get them back :( | 16:17 |
| oCean_ | hwilde: do "grep 1234 /etc/fstab" | 16:17 |
| Urda | JediMaster: Using Gearman, and the return from Worker and Client is tripping it for one reason or another. Gearman may be doing something it doesn't like, but the fellows in #gearman haven't pinned it yet | 16:18 |
| hwilde | oCean_, nope. checked there first, and mtab... i'm actually doing grep -r through the whole filestysem at this point | 16:18 |
| JediMaster | llua, I don't see that on http://www.maradns.org/faq.html | 16:18 |
| LuciusMare_ | oh,and the reboot does not work,any more ideas? | 16:18 |
| Urda | JediMaster: The Classic ALERT canary mismatch | 16:18 |
| llutz | JediMaster: faq 7, "if you wish to habe a PTR....." | 16:19 |
| llutz | have | 16:19 |
| oCean_ | hwilde: the way you mount (not mentioning device nor mountpoint) it will try to get the info needed from fstab | 16:19 |
| zapisto | ocean_, ubottu , thanks but i would still need to manual run update on all the systems ? | 16:19 |
| LuciusMare_ | hm | 16:19 |
| JediMaster | llutz, yes I know, and our ISP has given us control over it | 16:19 |
| llutz | JediMaster: ah, ok. no clue then | 16:20 |

| LuciusMare_ | when i `start kdm` under normal user, it prints a message about rejected dbus message,if i run it under root, it is already running,and if i try to run it under user again,it tells me only root wants to run kdm | 16:21 |

| noXandOs | hey i just removed my virtual desktops from the panel, how do i get them back? | 16:21 |
| oCean_ | zapisto: well, yes, all systems have to be updated, right? You could also have a look at cron-apt package, which provides (basic) automatic updates (-scheduling) | 16:22 |
| kinja-sheep | noXandOs: Workspaces? Right-click on the panel and add Workspace. | 16:22 |
| Darael | LuciusMare_: You'll want to stop it (as root) and try starting it again? | 16:22 |
| LuciusMare_ | maybe | 16:22 |

| Darael | *poke* | 16:23 |
| zapisto | ocean, yes i have about 20 systems, now i have to manually connect to all of them and run update, i was thinking of some scription and cron | 16:23 |
| noXandOs | oh, workspace.. thanks :) | 16:23 |
| paulus | after some googling I did a sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 16:23 |
| zapisto | but just want to know if something already exist | 16:23 |
| paulus | now the nic shows up in ifconfig, but no ip address. dmesg report 'link is not ready' | 16:23 |
| ^paradox^ | quick question | 16:24 |
| oCean_ | zapisto: see my previous line: "..You could also have a look at cron-apt.." | 16:24 |
| oCean_ | !info cron-apt | zapisto | 16:24 |
| ubottu | zapisto: cron-apt (source: cron-apt): automatic update of packages using apt-get. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.0 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 220 kB | 16:24 |
| zapisto | ocean : i am look at it now, but mean i have to install that on all system (that's a good start) | 16:25 |
| LuciusMare_ | oh,screw it,i'll just reinstall | 16:25 |

| ninel | pat|nG: it should be okay | 17:04 |
| maverick | solipsist: permission errors are usually solved by using sudo before your commands | 17:05 |
| soreau | pat|nG: Short answer, yes | 17:05 |
| pat|nG | thank u | 17:05 |
| bastid_raZor | pat|nG: yes and no, there are some updates you should do, but you don't have to if yo udont want. | 17:05 |
| asla | hello | 17:05 |

| Migi32 | hey everyone, what's a good alternative to vnstat that produces *reliable* data? | 17:06 |
| solipsist | why won't that work? | 17:06 |
| ninel | my Karmic dont popup the Modem connectivity | 17:06 |
| solipsist | i've never had to install anything from source | 17:06 |

| Al1 | is anybody here who could help me to fix my problem with green video on skype? I have ubuntu 9.10 | 17:06 |
| soreau | solipsist: If you have compiled it successfully, install it with sudo make install | 17:06 |
| ninel | Migi32: gnome-system-monitor ? | 17:06 |
| solipsist | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 17:07 |
| llutz | !checkinstall | solipsist | 17:07 |
| ubottu | solipsist: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 17:07 |
| llutz | !compile | solipsist | 17:07 |

| soreau | solipsist: You need to run make && sudo make install from the source directory.. | 17:07 |

| s3luk | why does /dev/dsp perminantly have sound at it | 17:13 |
| Jowi | mattgrey, your only solution is to install Windows then. | 17:14 |
| David1284 | ubottu: master volume on panel | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:14 |
| soreau | solipsist: aircrack-ng is an advanced program not for the novice user. You need to read how to use it at aircrack-ng.org | 17:14 |
| mattgrey | But firefox has privacy and security issues.. | 17:14 |
| s3luk | even tho its /dev/dsp_in that recieves the sound | 17:14 |
| IdleOne | solipsist: you are running the wrong command. aircrack-ng is correct. aircrack.ng is incorrect | 17:14 |

| David1284 | ok, i'll have a look | 17:17 |

| Shirack | im missing the usual options from the network conecctions gui following fresh install | 17:22 |
| killaxxl | pici: i did the apache2 install and tried http://localhost and it worked but when i tried to ssh it just times out | 17:22 |
| arvind_khadri | Shirack, wicd is a better manager, and is prefered for wireless | 17:23 |
| Jowi | onetinsoldier, that's a nice app. I hadn't seen it before. | 17:23 |

| kahen | whoever wanted PeerBlock... A) the source code is public. B) the list of "bad" IPs is public. C) iptables exists. it should be easy(-ish) to whip something up that does what you want | 17:25 |

| d1g1t4l_nrg | I wanted to find out how difficult other persons might have found in installing the ubuntu server. | 17:42 |
| brad[werk] | d1g1t4l_nrg: I didn't find it difficult at all, I did a remote install using root on LVM on top of MD RAID1 and it's now a VM server | 17:42 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | anybody have a opinion on the installation of ubuntu | 17:42 |
| Xbert | d1g1t4l_nrg, i just did an install, it took me 20 mins to get it running | 17:43 |
| brad[werk] | d1g1t4l_nrg: All steps were performed using the installation manager | 17:43 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | wow sounds cool | 17:43 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | ah very nice | 17:43 |
| Xbert | d1g1t4l_nrg, as easy as doing a desktop install just with a text installer | 17:43 |
| thiebaude | d1g1t4l_nrg: install is easy, been doing it over 4 yrs | 17:43 |

| xteejx | I want to use MoBlock, but I'm using Lucid, can I use karmic packages from the PPA on Lucid? | 17:45 |
| brad[werk] | fcuk112: It's a graphical frontend for libvirt, which is in turn a frontend for a bunch of new virtualization technologies native to Linux | 17:45 |
| maverick | nevermind, it starting working now, strange | 17:45 |

| hwilde | maverick, pastebin /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg | 17:45 |

| d1g1t4l_nrg | Brad which of the t105s did you buy there are 3 models available. | 17:47 |
| maverick | hwilde: i have analyzed that i cant play mp3s while im playing flash online and vice versa lol.. | 17:47 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | wow well thanks for the info. | 17:48 |
| Dravekx | d1g1t4l_nrg, I have 2 of the expensive ones, and 1 of the $300 ones. | 17:48 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | I have a couple of boxes at home so i will try the install on one of them. | 17:48 |

| d1g1t4l_nrg | anyone have this on a Xdsl provider | 17:49 |
| TorMentor | anyone here that is a expert at X and the configuration of it? | 17:49 |
| Xbert | natrixnatrix89, yes | 17:49 |
| Jowi | natrixnatrix89, yes, provided that you set it up to do so. | 17:49 |
| === gord_ is now known as gord | ||
| d1g1t4l_nrg | Brad do u really see a difference on those vs a regular pc? | 17:49 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Jowi: how do i set it up to do so? | 17:50 |
| Jowi | natrixnatrix89, a server setup is pretty bare bones. | 17:50 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: you'd be better off stating what the actual problem is, or asking how you can do what it is you actually want to do | 17:50 |
| kainam00 | I have a CUPS related question, can anyone here help? | 17:50 |
| kainam00 | Basically - I have a PDF printer set up on a Linux box through CUPS and available via the network via LP (port 515). | 17:50 |
| kainam00 | I'm trying to have a remote host, that runs a proprietary application designed to print to PCL supporting printers, print to this Linux box, and for the jobs to come out as PDFs. So far, the jobs come through fine, but the PCL codes do not get interpreted correctly. Meaning that I'm not getting the correct fonts or form feeds, just the codes printing out as part of the "text". | 17:50 |
| kainam00 | Is there a way to have the print jobs go through some sort of PCL supporting driver before going to PDF? | 17:50 |
| FloodBot1 | kainam00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:50 |
| brad[werk] | fcuk112: That's a matter of debate I'm sure ;P | 17:50 |
| Jowi | natrixnatrix89, depends on what you want on your server. by default, the server install does not include a window manager. | 17:51 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | well have to get going thanks a bunch for the information. | 17:51 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: ah ok. I have just got myself a htpc. I want it to run at resolution 1920x1080. THe problem is that nvidia-settings wont let me choose that res | 17:51 |
| kainam00 | Anyone help - http://paste.ubuntu.com/359126/ | 17:51 |
| TorMentor | according | 17:52 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Jowi: all I want is to make a small server that would be connected to a local weather station with serial port, and that would connect to wifi to be always online, so I could get this weather info.. | 17:52 |
| n00p | Does anyone know how I might identify information regarding manufacturer/make of an expresscard bus? | 17:52 |
| kernel_geek | Hello why do I get an error message with pidgin in msn if I try to send a link (quite long) ? | 17:52 |
| Shapeshifter | Guys. Is there a firefox 3 package that _doesn't_ install freakin' synaptics as a dependency?? | 17:52 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: not sure, but you may need to install the Nvidia proprietary drivers. | 17:52 |
| brad[werk] | fcuk112: The main attraction to libvirt based virtualization is the amount of development muscle behind it - VirtualBox is an excellent app and I actually use it on all my workstations, but I have trouble seeing it deployed on a large number of servers while maintaining easy management | 17:52 |
| Bt4Newbie | hello | 17:52 |
| Bt4Newbie | everybody | 17:52 |
| brad[werk] | fcuk112: Incidentally, one nice thing about virt-manager is that it can connect to virtualbox instances and manage them too | 17:52 |
| TorMentor | if i start gdm without a xorg.conf then it will use my resolution | 17:52 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | bye the way i could not beleive how easy it was to install my wireless adapter and the scanner in unbuntu | 17:53 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | sorry ubuntu | 17:53 |
| geirha | natrixnatrix89: ''man interfaces'' and ''man iwconfig'' should have the necessary information on how to set up wifi on the server. | 17:53 |
| brad[werk] | Which is handy because my personal colo box is not capable of running Xen or KVM in HVM mode | 17:53 |
| Jowi | natrixnatrix89, "wicd" includes console tools for managing wifi. it's pretty good. | 17:53 |
| hwilde | kainam00, pcl is hp proprietary, but you can try hp2xx to convert it | 17:53 |
| brad[werk] | How come we all hate networkmanager now :\ | 17:53 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: they are also known as 'restricted-drivers'. were you prompted to install the nvidia restricted-drivers when you first booted up into ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | have a great day everyone. | 17:53 |
| natrixnatrix89 | thanks geirha and Jowi. Ill try that.. | 17:53 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | and thanks again. | 17:53 |
| kainam00 | hwilde, how do I go about it? Do I set the driver in the PDF printer to hp2xx? | 17:54 |
| Xenefungus | new install of 9.10, flash works out of the box (o_O) but no sound in flash videos? _K_ubuntu that is, but their channel isnt helpful at all | 17:54 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: i installed the one using hardware drivers. | 17:54 |
| === faheem is now known as Darkstar | ||
| hwilde | kainam00, you would have to capture the pcl, convert with hp2xx, then print that | 17:54 |
| Bt4Newbie | could I have some help with modules? | 17:54 |
| === Darkstar is now known as _Darkstar_ | ||
| nintnint | quick question, that dvd drive in my laptop, what is that bay called? Like if I wanted to look for a hard drive expansion to fit in that bay, what would I be looking for? | 17:54 |
| TorMentor | aka restricted drivers gui :D | 17:55 |
| _Darkstar_ | hello i need to knw if their is a shortcut to logout of ubuntu? | 17:55 |
| fcuk112 | brad[werk]: i sometimes help out with MOTU packaging, will take a look into it when i get some time. thanks for your info. | 17:55 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: ok, keep asking. i'm not sure how to help with the resolution | 17:55 |
| _Darkstar_ | i have tried alt+f4 | 17:55 |
| hwilde | _Darkstar_, ctrl alt backspace should logout | 17:55 |
| _Darkstar_ | ok thanks lemme try | 17:55 |
| n00p | (nintnint) I'd look for second harddrive enclosure for your particular model. | 17:55 |
| kainam00 | hwilde, so, do I set up another printer in CUPS with that driver, but pointed to output to my CUPS PDF printer? Or do I need to pipe it through the driver on a lower level somehow? | 17:55 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: do you know if there is a way tro save the current options to a file? | 17:56 |
| hwilde | kainam00, i guess option b, but i dunno really | 17:56 |
| nintnint | what do you mean, I do not understand | 17:56 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: im talking of xorg.conf | 17:56 |
| n00p | Nintnint, what's your laptop? | 17:56 |
| nintnint | emachines n-10. an old piece of junk but my piece of junk | 17:56 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: it's probably already in a file --> /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if they're not in there, then i'm don't know, no | 17:56 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: i deleted that file to get gdm to reset it. But it didn't save the settings into it. | 17:57 |
| mtoroyarzo | w | 17:57 |
| _DarkStar_ | is their a command in terminal to log out of ubuntu? | 17:58 |
| _DarkStar_ | pretty desperate here | 17:58 |
| TorMentor | onetinsoldier: ill try to restart gdm to see if that saves my xorg.conf. BRB | 17:58 |
| llutz | exit | 17:58 |
| onetinsoldier | TorMentor: i'm not sure how for an nvidia card. i use ati here | 17:58 |
| onetinsoldier | my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again? | 17:58 |

| _DarkStar_ | llutz: exit? | 17:59 |
| _DarkStar_ | is their a command in terminal to log out of ubuntu? | 17:59 |
| maverick | DarkStar: sudo stop gdm ? | 17:59 |
| n00p | (nintnint) get on google and search for: Emachines n-10 second hdd <--- you could add enclosure to that query. | 17:59 |
| maverick | _DarkStar_: sudo stop gdm ? | 17:59 |
| hwilde | TorMentor, if you rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then restart gdm it will generate a failsafe default file for you. | 17:59 |
| _DarkStar_ | maverick: gdm is an unknown cmd | 17:59 |
| TorMentor | bloodski: nvidia has a setting to allow the monitor(tv) to do the scaling to fit. | 17:59 |
| maverick | _DarkStar_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 17:59 |
| onetinsoldier | _DarkStar_: try sudo service gdm stop | 18:00 |

| mamooli | is there a graphical interface for mysql on ubuntu? | 18:00 |
| TorMentor | hwilde: when is that config generated at start or when closing X? | 18:00 |
| hwilde | TorMentor, at start | 18:01 |
| albyptc | ciao | 18:01 |
| TorMentor | hwilde: that's odd. i dont have that file. and x is running at the resolution i want | 18:01 |
| bloodski | TorMentor: where is that setting? im using nvidia ion platform | 18:02 |
| thrityfour | mamooli "sudo apt-cache seach mysql gui" replies mysql-admin | 18:02 |
| hwilde | TorMentor, are you sure? it is using: /etc/X11/xorg.conf check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:02 |
| thrityfour | I have no experience with it, though | 18:02 |
| n00p | (nintnint) I've found a few, but I'm not sure if they'll go in your computer. You'd need to verify. | 18:02 |
| TorMentor | bloodski: start nvidia control panel and i had it at a tab below the temp meters | 18:03 |
| nintnint | nah, I don't need anymore storage really. | 18:03 |
| nintnint | but thanks anyway | 18:03 |
| bloodski | okay, thx for the info TorMentor, i'll check it out | 18:03 |
| TorMentor | hwilde: it can't be using /etc/X11/xorg.conf it doesn't exist :P | 18:03 |
| hwilde | TorMentor, look in the log I told you and figure out wth it is doing. | 18:04 |
| sharperguy | Right so I'm trying to install UNR on this acer aspire one. My problem is I don't have a dedicated USB stick. I have a hard drive with an extra partition I could use, but would it actually be possible to boot from this partition? | 18:05 |

| xubunoobie | Hello! If my ipod will not mount after installing the restricted extras package and the ipod plugin for ehaile. Is there something I am missing or have overlooked? | 18:24 |

| soreau | Chimpout: Why on earth would you want to use an AOL browser? | 19:14 |
| acicula | not all programs work in Wine, i guess the AOL browser, what ever it is, is a windows program | 19:14 |
| Chris___ | what are the hot keys on a (ubuntu) macbook to adjust screen brightness/contrast? | 19:14 |
| Chimpout | it is that I have aol internet | 19:14 |
| Chimpout | paying for it for exclusive aol stuff | 19:14 |

| acicula | Schui: yeah, fire up gstreamer-properties (from a console), switch to video and hit test? | 19:16 |
| kulych | yes :) | 19:16 |
| acicula | Schui: its called video4linux or v4l if you want to get it setup | 19:16 |
| ardchoille | Schui: I use a Canon and Ubuntu detects it immediately | 19:17 |
| Schui | did you have to install anything or did it detect it automatically? | 19:17 |
| ardchoille | it was automatic | 19:17 |
| acicula | normal cameras are just detected as storage devices i think? | 19:17 |
| adac | Does anyone know if nautilus-dropbox is open source? If yes, where can I download it? | 19:17 |
| onetinsoldier | cameras need a driver i think | 19:18 |
| ardchoille | acicula: I think you're right,mince was | 19:18 |
| skarufue | @Shui i think there is no linux support for you camera... but on the other hand i think DV is standertised so you could try any video editing software really | 19:18 |

| Aia | I want to know how's done. If any can point to some more knowledge. When I go to places and click in a hard drive, gnome mounts it into /media/ and it makes a directory with the name of the hard drive. If I umount the directory is removed as well. But when I do it manually in the command line, I need to create the directory. How's done automatically? | 19:20 |

| acicula | can you unplug/plug the camera and paste the output on pastebin somewhere | 19:21 |
| ortsvorsteher | onetinsoldier, did you tried system -> settings -> sound? | 19:21 |

| ubottu | Yuri_Har1ison: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 19:25 |
| Zesturian | acicula, a week or so ago, I'll try again | 19:25 |
| acicula | Yuri_Har1ison: you can try to install an older package manually | 19:25 |
| onetinsoldier | ortsvorsteher: ok.. thank you for trying to help me out. let me check out what ubottu says and try it :) | 19:25 |
| ANTRat | wait nevermind | 19:25 |
| Zesturian | Thanks, if there's no resolve with that, what else might be worth checking? | 19:25 |

| pozican | I have a box at home with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Gnome, xorg, and associated are taking up almost a gig of ram. Can I safely remove these from an ssh session? Is killing X and stopping gdm enough to stop the Xorg sessions currently running? | 19:31 |
| acicula | fstab may work yeah | 19:31 |
| acicula | pozican: stopping gdm will shutdown the X subsystem | 19:31 |

| onetinsoldier | ortsvorsteher: i have a program under Applications --> Sound and Video --> Alsamixergui | 19:32 |

| onetinsoldier | ortsvorsteher: the dang volume was turned all the way down | 19:32 |
| ortsvorsteher | onetinsoldier, yes, thats the one ... | 19:32 |
| ortsvorsteher | :D | 19:32 |
| pozican | acicula: uh, I thought /etc/init.d was the service handler? | 19:32 |
| acicula | pozican: you need to remove the script itself from the startup sequence | 19:33 |
| nevermoreskies | "WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/." What's this, anyone have an idea? | 19:33 |
| acicula | pozican: just making it non-executable will cause the boot sequence to fail and possibly go into fall-back mode to fix the failure | 19:33 |
| pozican | acicula: I presume ubuntu has some non-standard sub-par way of a startup sequence that doesn't involve init.d then? | 19:33 |
| acicula | pozican: it uses the normal standard startup stuff | 19:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | i dont have it installed, so i will do it now... | 19:33 |

| filthpig | Hi guys. I have a Radeon 9200 Mobility card in my laptop, using Karmic. When I enable desktop effects the deskop background goes black, and if I maximize windows they also turn black. Some guy has reported a similar problem (with similar gfx-card) here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1302069 | 20:00 |

| hwilde | ati hasn't made a good driver since 2004 | 20:17 |

| Gadget3000 | !away | mkquist | 20:33 |
| ubottu | mkquist: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 20:33 |
| onetinsoldier | recon69_lap: yw, cheers | 20:33 |
| clrg | Ari_Lazarus: That's one possibility. The other is to mount your drive per hand, like "mount /dev/yourdrive1 /mnt/your/mount/point -o umask=0027" | 20:33 |
| adac | acicula, thx a lot! | 20:33 |

| clrg | mAriachi: I'm sure if someone knew the solution to your problem, they would've answered. Have you tried google? | 20:36 |
| mkanyicy | clrg, umask does not work with ext2/3/4 partitions IMO | 20:36 |
| mAriachi | F223: nope, go ahead and try it | 20:36 |
| onetinsoldier | mAriachi: try installing gnome-alsamixer. easier to work with in my opinion | 20:36 |

| wolter | does the gvfsd-ftp server work on lan? | 20:36 |
| mAriachi | hwilde: no can do, tried all the combinations, wont do it | 20:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | wolter: any ftp server will work | 20:37 |
| hwilde | mAriachi, you just have to mute line out and leave headphones unmuted. | 20:37 |
| mAriachi | hwilde: when i do that, everything is muted | 20:37 |

| wolter | brontosaurusrex, is that i cannot access the ftp share from firefox or chrome if I use gvfsd-ftp | 20:38 |
| clrg | Ari_Lazarus: Try "sudo chmod 750 -R /your/programs/directory/*" instead | 20:38 |

| rubberducky | it's a fresh install anyways | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rubberducky: i even have /boot/ with some iso files in it. and grub2 setup to boot the iso files as a failsafe rescue option | 21:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rubberducky: its debateable if its worth the effort really. | 21:52 |
| icelander | donteatyellowsno: Yes | 21:52 |
| hwilde | icelander, oi what kinda chipset is that ? type "man wpa_supplicant" and scroll down to the list of drivers (hostap, madwifi, wext, etc) | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | where do you but the iso's then? | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | and how big should i make it? | 21:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rubberducky: i got mine in /boot/ as well. | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | ok | 21:53 |
| Dr_Willis | rubberducky: depends on what you are doing exactly with it | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | now it's 50mb | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | but that seems big | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | i have backtrack linux in it | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | and ubuntu | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | and windows | 21:53 |
| rubberducky | but i install a new backtrack every now and then | 21:53 |
| hwilde | icelander, then you type sudo /sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -w -i wlan0 -D driverhere -c /path/to/config/file | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | and it always messes up by installing LILO | 21:54 |
| Dr_Willis | the only things that normally goes in /boot/ are various kernel and support files. | 21:54 |
| pershian007 | hi i cant copy DVD move to hard disk /// I/O error // helppppppppppppp | 21:54 |
| hwilde | icelander, try driver wext first | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | i don't know how big the kernel is actually | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | is 1mb enought for /boot? | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | or am i being stupid... | 21:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rubberducky: 1mb is stupid | 21:54 |
| kinja-sheep | rubberducky: No. | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | :D | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | sorry then | 21:54 |
| Dr_Willis | look at your current /boot/ and see how large it is | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | i don't have one now | 21:54 |
| rubberducky | so i wouldn't know | 21:55 |
| shadowwulf | is there somewhere i an find a listing where i can safely remove items from package manager without crashing ubuntu ... i have 4 GB to work with | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | if you ahve linux isntalled then you have a /boot/ directory | 21:55 |
| rubberducky | aah sorry | 21:55 |
| shadeslayer | pershian007: um maybe the DVD is corrupted and/or the HD too | 21:55 |
| rubberducky | yes | 21:55 |
| rubberducky | i get what you mean | 21:55 |
| mkanyicy | kri1987, pastebin "sudo ls -lh ~" | 21:55 |
| rubberducky | 14mb | 21:55 |
| rubberducky | so i can keep it at 50? | 21:56 |
| kinja-sheep | Following up on something, what is the appropriate way to remove old kerenls? Just purge them in the "linux-image-<random>?" | 21:56 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: sudo with ls ? | 21:56 |
| pershian007 | shadeslayer no | 21:56 |
| rubberducky | seems pretty future proof | 21:56 |
| shadeslayer | pershian007: are you sure? | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | drive space is cheap. Mine is 3gb | 21:56 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, yes | 21:56 |
| Krzysiek | VNC from windows into Ubuntu connection refused?? | 21:56 |
| pershian007 | shadeslayer yes | 21:56 |

| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, is there a prob in that? | 21:56 |
| icelander | hwilde: no joy | 21:56 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: i dont think sudo is required with ls | 21:57 |
| icelander | and no more time to fiddle | 21:57 |
| icelander | Linux is for people without children who need taken care of | 21:57 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: it may/may not cause harm | 21:57 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, i did not say so either | 21:57 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 21:57 |
| Dr_Willis | aafuentes: the release schedule is a big differance also. and 'upstart' is a big differance | 21:58 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, fyi, i'm a bit too advanced on linux | 21:58 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: well i am still not sure if sudo should be used with ls,but its your call | 21:58 |

| mkanyicy | shadenzo, even a root types 'ls' | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | aafuentes: learn about how the release schedule works and how upstart works.. thats 2 big difrerances from ubuntu to debian | 22:00 |
| mkanyicy | sorry shadenzo | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ghost_: the various xrandr tools can do that | 22:00 |
| shadenzo | nothing | 22:00 |
| pershian007 | i cant copy DVD move file to hard disk error I/O error | 22:00 |

| zagabar | I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this? | 22:00 |
| Dr_Willis | io erorr = dirty disk, or drive | 22:00 |
| undeman | mmm | 22:00 |

| Dr_Willis | aafuentes: i think the various ubuntu packages source have ubuntu specific patchs for things | 22:01 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: nope | 22:01 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, if you cannot 'cd' to a directory then you cannot know what's inside then 'ls dirname' may not even work | 22:01 |

| donteatyellowsno | ladies and gents, lets have 10 minutes of silent for the people of haiti. thank you | 22:02 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: yeah so? | 22:02 |
| aafuentes | Dr_Willis, i found for example this page http://patches.ubuntu.com/ where ubuntu put their patches on a regular basis | 22:02 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, then 'sudo ls' will enable you to see whats inside | 22:02 |
| shadeslayer | mkanyicy: im trying to see the history of the problem but cant find the original question | 22:02 |
| aafuentes | Dr_Willis, but i cant find what are the exact freeze points in debian repositories | 22:02 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: You tried it with custom Xorg.conf? Also, see !fixres | 22:03 |

| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, i thought that xorg was no longer used? | 22:03 |
| mkanyicy | shadeslayer, ok, the other guy said his home directory is inaccessible and have tried chmod without any luck as a root. now thats strange, I then asked for 'ls' as a root | 22:04 |
| theoraforever | kinja-sheep: That's great! How do I put that on another users screen? (I presume that requires root) | 22:04 |

| kyle6513 | phong_, does sudo apt-get install evtouch work? | 22:19 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, okay | 22:19 |
| mkanyicy | kri1987, you need to give the 'x' permission to the /home folder and any folder under /home | 22:19 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, wait. should i try all this as sudo? | 22:19 |
| phong_ | let me try | 22:19 |

| kyle6513 | i thought gconf was for gnome? | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle6513: yep. :) unless we are all confused about what he wants | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | if thers an icon for it.. check the icon properties. | 22:29 |
| kyle6513 | Dr_Willis, heh >.< | 22:29 |
| duckx0r | Dr_Willis, oh, i thought you meant from the run dialog. thanks | 22:29 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: You could try killing Xorg, then "Xorg -configure" in TTY. It'll probe for devices and write an xorg.conf -- From that, do "sudo updatedb && locate xorg" | 22:29 |
| * Dr_Willis is not sure the TAB key works in the run dialogs | 22:30 | |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, how do i kill xorg lol | 22:30 |
| duckx0r | kinja-sheep, looks like you were right. I just didn't have gconf-editor installed. Thanks | 22:30 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: You would get disconnected. :( | 22:30 |

| ubottu | kyle6513: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 22:31 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: Remember -- CTRL + ALT + F7 -- is GUI. | 22:31 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, yeah i know about them, just have no idea how to kill xorg xD | 22:31 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: Practice it now. CTRL + ALT + F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6 -- All temrinals. | 22:31 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, haha yeh i know :P | 22:32 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: Oh alright. "sudo service gdm stop" should do the trick. "sudo killall xorg" maybe. | 22:32 |
| maritz | Hi. I've attached a usb2.0 stick (8gb kingston) to my pc and it is incredibly slow when transferring large files. (according to a few ls checks it's at below 1mb/s now) | 22:32 |
| maritz | I've googled around and there seem to be a tonne of other users with such problems. However they mostly have ~4mb/s, which is a bit more than I'm seeing. And all the "solutions" I found, didn't help so far. Any ideas? | 22:32 |
| duckx0r | kyle6513, ctrl-alt-backspace might work depending on how your system is setup | 22:32 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, i think ill go with killall | 22:32 |
| kyle6513 | WISH ME LUCK! | 22:32 |
| duckx0r | luck | 22:32 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: Stopping GDM should do more than enough. You can kill xserver-xorg too. Just in case. Good luck. | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | maritz: ive noticed that also. not really looked into a fix. | 22:33 |
| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, one question, how do i get back into x? start x? | 22:33 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513: "sudo service gdm start" | 22:33 |

| Dr_Willis | maritz: yep - ive noticed it being very slow. | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | maritz: also aseems to depend on which of my USB ports i use. I got some exctra usb add on cards. | 22:34 |
| bluberryoam | hey how do you enter special charachters in emacs? | 22:34 |
| maritz | I tried the 2 free ones, nothing... Also, it isn't a problem in windows. So, it's not a hardware problem. | 22:35 |

| kyle6513 | kinja-sheep, haha so what did i need to tell the terminal again? | 22:37 |

| blight_ | are there different repositories like stable/testing/unstable ? | 22:40 |
| testz | yes | 22:40 |
| blight_ | do they have codenames? | 22:40 |
| testz | yes | 22:40 |
| blight_ | or does each release have all 3 | 22:40 |
| testz | no | 22:41 |
| blight_ | or how does it work? | 22:41 |
| unop | Darkedge, sed -i 's/ShowOnlyIn=GNOME//g' /usr/share/applications/* | 22:41 |
| testz | !repositories | 22:41 |

| blight_ | ok, i guess this is what i need to read to make a decision if i want to switch to another branch | 22:41 |
| testz | yes | 22:41 |
| blight_ | cause i want more recent software on my system | 22:41 |
| blakkheim | blight_: then ubuntu isn't for you | 22:41 |
| blight_ | yeah | 22:41 |
| blight_ | i would use gentoo if KDE didnt take 1 day to build | 22:42 |

| goldie | does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to run on a Ma | 22:42 |
| goldie | Mac | 22:42 |
| blakkheim | goldie: the same way as any other computer | 22:42 |
| blight_ | i dont know | 22:42 |
| testz | goldie: have you searched on google? | 22:42 |
| Dr_Willis | goldie: ppc or newer mac? | 22:42 |
| goldie | nah | 22:42 |

| ubottu | microhaxo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 22:42 |
| blight_ | thats why i switched from gentoo to ubuntu | 22:42 |

| blight_ | whats so funny? | 22:43 |
| realityiswhere | goldie: which model? | 22:43 |
| blakkheim | blight_: switching from gentoo to ubuntu | 22:43 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, Threw the same error at me :/ think i have to kill xorg? | 22:43 |
| blight_ | yeah, well, like i said, lazyness - doesnt that explain it? | 22:43 |
| goldie | You can not get ubuntu to run alongside Mac like you can Win7 in bootcamp | 22:43 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: I thought you were in TTY when you did that. | 22:43 |
| blakkheim | blight_: guess so | 22:43 |
| goldie | I have a macbook. | 22:43 |
| blakkheim | goldie: yes you can | 22:43 |
| realityiswhere | goldie: which model... macbook 5,5? | 22:43 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: Yeah. Make sure Xorg or xserver-xorg is not running. | 22:43 |
| testz | goldie: have you searched on google? | 22:43 |
| goldie | yez | 22:43 |
| blight_ | with gentoo when something doesnt build you gotta mess around, and it happens from time to time, especially when you start mixing stable with unstable packages | 22:43 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, TTY? why? it throws me into a console thingy anyway | 22:43 |
| Darkedge | unop: Sorry, I kinda wanted it to be replaced with nothing.. | 22:44 |
| blight_ | so it's always a fight against the breakage | 22:44 |
| blakkheim | blight_: i run gentoo on my desktop, i know. but i like fixing things | 22:44 |
| testz | blight_: yeah, so don't waste your time, energy, or harm the environment and use a binary based distro | 22:44 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, so, sudo killall Xorg && sudo killall xserver-xorg? | 22:44 |
| blight_ | and sometimes i couldn't update for a few weeks because of conflicts introduced by mixing stable with unstable packages etc | 22:44 |
| unop | Darkedge, and that's what the command does | 22:44 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: Something like that. Use tab to autocomplete. | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | i gave up on gentoo a few years back | 22:44 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, alright, so do i stop gdm then do that? I dont think i need to go into a TTY | 22:44 |
| goldie | Is there a better Linux package then Ubuntu | 22:44 |
| blight_ | blakkheim: yeah it can be fun, but i rather invest the time in other stuff like coding | 22:45 |
| duffydack | great my radeon 4650HD now supported, except games (nexuiz) are like 1 fps | 22:45 |
| unop | kyle6513_, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 22:45 |
| goldie | I am not that impresssed by Karmic Kola | 22:45 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: Yes. | 22:45 |
| kyle6513_ | goldie, depends on what you want | 22:45 |
| blight_ | testz: ;) | 22:45 |
| realityiswhere | goldie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | goldie: thers 100's of Linux distros out - depends on yoru needs | 22:45 |
| Darkedge | unop: Well I looked in one of the .desktop files, and its been replaced with "" not a black space =/ | 22:45 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, do i need to go into a TTY?? | 22:45 |
| goldie | It seem like ubuntu would be the best because they have more bread behind there product then anybody else | 22:45 |
| kyle6513_ | goldie, what are your needs? | 22:45 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: Yes. If you kill Xorg, you'll fall back to TTY. So you might as well shut down gdm properly. | 22:45 |
| goldie | Easy for one.. I am just looking for a distro to do webdesign programming. | 22:46 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, hm, so, how would i do this? | 22:46 |
| unop | Darkedge, was ShowOnlyIn=GNOME originally quoted in the file?? | 22:46 |
| kyle6513_ | kinja-sheep, jump to a TTY and then perform all of this? | 22:46 |
| microhaxo | When i add this: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 to my fstab i am unable to mount root | 22:46 |
| roxlu_ | how do I install my printer from the terminal ? (I don't have x-windows) | 22:46 |
| testz | goldie: then just use a distro that you won't have to mess around with a lot | 22:46 |
| mkanyicy | goldie, that can be arranged on ubuntu as well | 22:46 |
| Darkedge | unop: I don't think so. | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | microhaxo: why did you alter it in the first place? | 22:46 |
| kinja-sheep | kyle6513_: Go in TTY1, "sudo service gdm stop" -- Kill any Xorg / xserver-xorg -- Then run the "Xorg -configure" | 22:46 |
| microhaxo | I have a SSD drive | 22:47 |

| blakkheim | goldie: yes | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | microhaxo: check the various ssd/netbook forum threads perhaps - it may be theres some change/diffreance you need to so in 9.10 | 22:47 |
| brontosaurusrex | goldie: the easy way is virtualbox | 22:48 |
| goldie | If you had the choce would you work in vmware with a ubunut distro to do your web work ....or just use mac. | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I perfer virtualbox to vmware. :) | 22:48 |
| Darkedge | unop: Can't you just peice a command to search for "" and replace? thanks. | 22:48 |
| brontosaurusrex | goldie: i'd use mac | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant afford a mac. :) | 22:48 |

| brontosaurusrex | but really, web should be easier on some sort of debian powered thingy, with all the web server stuff as well..... | 22:49 |

| microhaxo | blakkheimL did you do the noatime fix? | 23:19 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, im running an eeepc 1000H right now and the only problem i have is some things go off screen | 23:19 |
| allstar | no static , but yes i port forwarded in my router | 23:19 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, whats the problem then | 23:19 |
| microhaxo | *-L | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | cached: if the hardware drivers tool dont detect it -it could be that card is not supported by the repo versions. you can try the nvidia.run driver installer. | 23:19 |
| Topy44 | and before anyone recommends using eeebuntu or easypeasy or whatever... there is absolutely no reason to use those instead of regular UNR imho | 23:19 |
| Topy44 | as all the bugs and annoyances are present | 23:19 |
| Scunizi | allstar: you sure that the port forward is going to the right IP address? | 23:19 |
| mkanyicy | goose, how? it's a PUBLIC key | 23:20 |
| allstar | yeah | 23:20 |
| blakkheim | Topy44: there is no reason to use UNR over ubuntu minimal imho | 23:20 |
| allstar | my nix box is .101 | 23:20 |
| triple_xxx | Topy44: then asus eee pc Easy Peasy was built for that and jolicloud also claims to be working on most netbooks right out the box | 23:20 |
| domi007 | ae86: I don't know how to reach the laptop, the WM client asks for an ip address | 23:20 |
| cached | must be the vbox | 23:20 |
| allstar | port 22 | 23:20 |
| domi007 | and i tried the ip address from ifconfig | 23:20 |
| Scunizi | allstar: natively installed or in a VM? | 23:20 |
| goose | mkanyicy: if someone breaks it, they have access to all of your servers, rather than just one | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: ok thats a little clearer than "connection" which is all you said earlier | 23:20 |
| Panzerboy | ehlo | 23:20 |
| domi007 | action: my bad..sorry | 23:20 |
| mkanyicy | goose, nope | 23:20 |
| Topy44 | i did manage to change the most annoying thing about the unr launcher, which is the ridiculously high icon distance | 23:20 |
| triple_xxx | Topy44: depends on screen size also you can get ubuntu with moblin | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: not something I use, sorry | 23:20 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, never looked at them, didnt really see a reason since everything would be downloadable anyway, and since my eeepc worked straight out of the box, i didnt have to do anything | 23:20 |
| mkanyicy | goose, he would need to have the private key as well | 23:21 |
| domi007 | action: thanks anyway | 23:21 |
| Topy44 | yeah, no major surgery to get mine to work either, most things work fine ootb | 23:21 |
| domi007 | i tried to bridge the usb network interface to a tap interface, which points to localhost | 23:21 |
| forceflow | I got my asus1005ha working perfectly with UNR too | 23:21 |
| jongbergs | Iowan: wall broadcast messages to all users on the same system | 23:21 |
| chun1 | Hi, is there any way to switch user using a command? [actually log in to the said user's workspace, so not just su] | 23:21 |
| Topy44 | its all just customizing stuff - the main reason i like UNR is because the screen is TINY (6.4" 800x480) and the touchpad is useless | 23:21 |
| domi007 | but still, my pad always says: can't connect | 23:21 |
| Dr_Willis | UNR works well on my AAO | 23:22 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, I'm sure you would be able to get the tabbed window manager with the normal ubuntu installation with a bit of hacking | 23:22 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, did you goto internet > then remote desktop viewer? normally it will display the name of the PC there automatically without having to type in the address, it should scann for open ports 5900 | 23:22 |
| mkanyicy | goose, i mean , thats why ssh is called ssh, 100 keys for 100 servers is not worth it | 23:22 |
| forceflow | Topy44: I am using default gnome-interface though | 23:22 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, i have a 10" :D | 23:22 |
| triple_xxx | Topy44: if its screen resolution Moblin would be the way to go | 23:22 |
| mkanyicy | goose, unless you are working for millitary | 23:22 |
| domi007 | i am using a windows mobile pda, u r talkin about something completely different | 23:22 |
| Topy44 | kyle: there is no reason not to use the tabbed window mode of UNR without the launcher. | 23:22 |
| jongbergs | onetinsoldier: yes, does it allow you to talk to other user on another computer in the network? | 23:22 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, ah ok | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | jongbergs: pretty sure that's what it's designed to do | 23:23 |
| Nafri_ | hello, i'm about to install kubuntu 9.10, I've 64bit processor. Which version should i install 32bit or 64bit? I was wondering if there are proper drivers/applications available for 64bit | 23:23 |
| mkanyicy | goose, anyway good luck | 23:23 |
| blakkheim | Nafri_: how much ram do you have | 23:23 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, okay... sorry, did u try using the web browser based UI? | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | jongbergs: i | 23:23 |
| onetinsoldier | jongbergs: i've used it before, many years ago though | 23:23 |
| domi007 | web browser based ui...what is that? | 23:23 |
| cached | firefox | 23:23 |
| Topy44 | other then that i like the unr launcher, but they messed up the last version. its buggy, and... why did they remove the incredibly useful right sidebar, and didnt even use the space for anything else?! | 23:23 |
| domi007 | anyway, if it runs on the pc side then it is not good for me | 23:23 |
| Topy44 | just put more distance between icons | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ae86-drifter: a connection to the ubuntu system via the usb to the PDA is what is required. I dont use PDA so am unsure if this can be done personally | 23:24 |
| Topy44 | wasting more space | 23:24 |
| domi007 | because i can't reah the pc | 23:24 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, type the IP of the rdp server with :5900 into the browser | 23:24 |
| onetinsoldier | jongbergs: also look at 'ytalk' | 23:24 |
| Topy44 | i am considering downgrading to jaunty | 23:24 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, I have to admit, the idea is good, execution, not so much | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Topy44: added the UNR ppa? | 23:24 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | I am looking for a video editor to take a .mov file and strip the audio from it and and a mp3 or what ever I would like. | 23:24 |
| Topy44 | ActionParsnip__: no, are there any worthy changes? | 23:25 |
| blakkheim | L3dPlatedLinux: ffmpeg can rip the audio, so can mplayer | 23:25 |
| domi007 | i;ll try it | 23:25 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | thanks | 23:25 |
| onetinsoldier | jongbergs: also look at ytalk, xtalk, and utalk | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Topy44: no idea, i just know it exists | 23:25 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, hmm usb connection? so does the PDA get an IP address on the same subnet etc as the server? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Topy44: https://launchpad.net/~netbook-remix-team/+archive/ppa | 23:25 |
| domi007 | i am not sure about that stuff...preferably yes | 23:25 |
| domi007 | but the pda says: cannot connect...so perhaps it didn't get an ip address | 23:26 |
| domi007 | however activesync says on the pda: connected | 23:26 |
| Topy44 | here is another annoying detail: notices (like the usual "your battery is fucked" message on every boot) go away when moving the cursor over them, but reappear when moving it away again, making it impossible to click them away! | 23:26 |
| Topy44 | its just a ridiculous bug | 23:26 |
| LogicFan | microhaxo, TRIM support is crucial to your SSD's performance at the moment. your hdd needs the firmware to support it and the OS needs to support it. as far as I'm aware, the kernel in 9.10 supports it, but the OS has yet to implement it. You can however find a utility and run it each time at startup | 23:26 |
| dj-ice | what is a good chat Messenger | 23:27 |
| blakkheim | dj-ice: finch | 23:27 |
| domi007 | dj-ice: pidgin | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: seems to be a feature in microsofts activesync which appears to be windows only | 23:27 |
| microhaxo | LogicFan, my drive supports Trim | 23:27 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, i dont really know how that "activesync" stuff works | 23:27 |
| ae86-drifter | sorry | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Topy44: they may have ironed it out in the new version | 23:27 |
| dj-ice | im new 2 linux | 23:27 |
| domi007 | okay, hang on | 23:27 |
| Topy44 | where does the gnome panel save its applet settings? | 23:27 |
| microhaxo | LogicFan: what utility works best? | 23:27 |
| Topy44 | i want to find that stupid white dot | 23:27 |
| === floops is now known as Floops | ||
| cwillu | Topy44, gconf-editor is a front end to the tree of xml files; applet settings are stored under apps | panel | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: i suggest you use the wireless or bluetooth | 23:28 |
| Topy44 | ok, thx | 23:28 |
| domi007 | so activesync does 2 things: shares the pc's internet conenction with the pda and synchronizes | 23:28 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, hehe, maybe its something in the tray not starting properly | 23:28 |
| domi007 | my wifi card is dead and i don't have bluetooth :S | 23:28 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, see this thread, it will explain how to get an IP address over ActiveSync, you need to use "VxUtil" http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=6&TopicId=2556 | 23:28 |
| Topy44 | kyle6513: but its present on all screenshots of karmic UNR i can find, so its definately a bug | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: activesync can give addresses to the device on usb and the systm to make a small lan which you can connect stuff over with (according to that page) | 23:29 |
| LogicFan | microhaxo, there is a patch for hdparam called wiper.sh that i am ware of. however, do not take my advice as gospel. research your particular drive's support for ubuntu and the trim command. chances are there is info on the company website regard support | 23:29 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, well yeah just ignore it till the next release, unless theres a beta out for lucid nbr | 23:29 |
| microhaxo | ok thanks. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: i use neither PDA nor remote desktop (too slow) so am not much help here outside of websearches | 23:29 |
| domi007 | hold on, i got an idea, i will try it.. | 23:30 |
| Topy44 | hm, actually, i just realized, i think its the "notification area applet" | 23:30 |
| dj-ice | what are some good chat clien to run yahoo and msn | 23:30 |

| ae86-drifter | domi007, the first step would be to try pinging the program outside of this activesync software, but like ActionParsnip__ i dont know much about this either | 23:30 |
| WinXP | What's the best distro or software for curing windows viruses,trojans,worms,spywares and malwares? | 23:30 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, oh, whatcha know i was right :P | 23:30 |
| ae86-drifter | pinging the PDA* i mean | 23:30 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, oh, nevermind xD | 23:30 |
| LogicFan | microhaxo, the TRIM is really important if you don't want your SSD performance to degrade over time. This is just the nature of the SSD technology at the moment. The next generation is going to improve this enormously | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip__ | dj-ice: pidgin can do both. gyachi can do voice and cam in linux | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ae86-drifter: what IP though? | 23:31 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip__, the IP of the PDA | 23:31 |
| ae86-drifter | ActionParsnip__, you can use VxUtil to find it | 23:31 |
| dj-ice | how do i install | 23:31 |
| domi007 | okay, it seems that the ip address i see with ifconfig for the usb network interface | 23:31 |
| dj-ice | im sorry im new | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip__ | WinXP: all will be equal, there is no universally best software solution for anything | 23:31 |
| domi007 | is the ip address of the pc side | 23:31 |

| TheMozart | im running Ubuntu 9.04 from USB stick.. but when I type "sudo apt-get install xchat" it says it cannot be found. why? | 23:32 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, does it ping? | 23:32 |
| kyle6513 | TheMozart, try sudo apt-get update first | 23:33 |
| dj-ice | im on ubuntu .9.10 | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: try: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome | 23:33 |
| TheMozart | kyle6513: I did. but it still cant find xchat | 23:33 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: ok | 23:33 |
| domi007 | nope, ping from pda to pc says request timed out | 23:33 |
| kyle6513 | TheMozart, try x-chat | 23:33 |
| kinja-sheep | TheMozart: Pidgin should be installed. It is part of ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 23:33 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, okay, well you may want to set up an IP bridge | 23:33 |
| kyle6513 | TheMozart, nevermind that wont work | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip__ | domi007: you could use nmap to find all active IPs. I dont think you will get far due to microsoft's closed mindedness | 23:33 |
| TheMozart | sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome <-- worked. thanks ActionParsnip__ | 23:34 |
| TheMozart | kinja-sheep: yes but I like xchat :) | 23:34 |
| LogicFan | kinja-sheep, i thought that wasn't the case any longer? i thought pidgin was replaced with empathy? | 23:34 |
| domi007 | i am thinking about | 23:34 |
| kinja-sheep | TheMozart: XChat > xchat-gnome :) | 23:34 |
| domi007 | somehow i have to give | 23:34 |
| kinja-sheep | LogicFan: He is using 9.04 ;) | 23:34 |
| domi007 | an ip to the pda with | 23:34 |
| LogicFan | kinja-sheep, gracie | 23:34 |
| domi007 | perhaps a dhcp server | 23:34 |
| ae86-drifter | domi007, good luck, some hacking of the PDA may be involved in that | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: xchat-gnome is a stripped version of the original XChat with less features and only the most common settings included | 23:35 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: im in xchat now, cheers | 23:35 |
| domi007 | okay | 23:35 |
| domi007 | i will try | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kinja-sheep: depends if you only need the core stuff | 23:35 |
| domi007 | and report later | 23:35 |
| domi007 | :) | 23:35 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: yeah I noticed.. looks basic | 23:35 |
| mAriachi | hi there i have sort of an issue with xubuntu, can anyone help? | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: its the kiss principle :D | 23:35 |
| TheMozart | how can I tell how much free space I got left on my 1GB USB stick? | 23:36 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: yeah lol | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !ask | mAriachi | 23:36 |
| ubottu | mAriachi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:36 |
| Topy44 | i actually quite like xchat-gnome for my netbook, its very light and compact | 23:36 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: left click on the usb on desktop and properties | 23:36 |
| dj-ice_ | what is a good chat clien that i can ues 4 yahoo im sorry im new 2 linux | 23:36 |
| Topy44 | good for small screens | 23:36 |
| kyle6513 | lol... | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip__ | dj-ice_: gyachi but its not in the standard repos | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !yahoo | 23:36 |
| ubottu | At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. | 23:36 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: no, im runnuing USB from the 1GB stick | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip__ | not helpful | 23:36 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, xchat-gnome is the same as xchat in the terms of using screen space is it not? | 23:36 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: no, im runnuing Ubuntu from the 1GB stick | 23:37 |
| Topy44 | kyle6513: no, it has the hidden userlist which afaik is not in xchat regular | 23:37 |
| TheMozart | how I check free space? | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle6513: about the same. You can always turn off the sidebar/nick list in xchat | 23:37 |
| kyle6513 | Topy44, ah okay | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: df -h | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | nicklist in xchat is resizeable | 23:37 |
| kyle6513 | Dr_Willis, heh i see | 23:37 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: cheers | 23:37 |
| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:37 |
| Topy44 | i used to use xchat regular on my (windows) desktop, i changed to quassel now, and i absolutely love it | 23:37 |
| jiohdi | anyone know how to get a system monitor on the panel of UNR? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip__ | i use pidgin and always will | 23:37 |
| Topy44 | Dr_Willis: in xchat_gnome there is a button that displays it, its hidden otherwise | 23:38 |
| Topy44 | jiohdi: right click on an empty part of the panel, "add to panel", select the system monitor | 23:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Topy44: most people seemn to HATE xchat-gnome | 23:38 |
| Topy44 | Dr_Willis: yeah, dunno why | 23:38 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: some bug in that command it seems.. it says I have 3.3GB on it.. but its only 1GB USB stick | 23:38 |
| mAriachi | ActionParsnip__: Pidgin is cool, but still sucks on video conferencing | 23:38 |
| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:38 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: no my bad, thats the CDROM :) | 23:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Topy44: i dont see the point in it really. i will stick with xchat or weechat | 23:39 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: /dev/sdb1 951M 827M 125M | 23:39 |
| jiohdi | Topy44: UNR does not have a right click add to panel feature | 23:39 |
| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:39 |
| Topy44 | Dr_Willis: not much point to it, agreed, no reason to switch, but it has details done nicely | 23:39 |
| Topy44 | jiohdi: umh yeah it does, just did it like 2 minutes ago? :) | 23:39 |
| boss_mc | !repeat | mAriachi | 23:39 |
| ubottu | mAriachi: 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. | 23:39 |
| Topy44 | but you need to hit an actual "empty" spot, so not the area occupied by the window title applet thingy | 23:40 |
| jiohdi | Topy44: I can't find one... everything I click on says its part of whats already there and gives no such option | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Mouse clicking skills :) | 23:40 |
| === nick is now known as Guest41836 | ||
| Dr_Willis | This is where the kde4 panel has a bit of an advantage | 23:40 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: will everything save on the 1GB stick? or It will start a like a fresh new ubuntu everytime I reboot? | 23:40 |
| intangir | can i play a DVD on ubuntu 9.10 with mplayer? | 23:40 |
| Topy44 | jiohdi: move the clock around a bit or so to create some empty space | 23:40 |
| intangir | when i try it lists dvd info and exits | 23:40 |
| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:40 |
| Topy44 | believe me, its possible, i've done it :) | 23:40 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: how do I totally remove xchat now? I will use Pidgin, looks nicer | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | intangir: should be possible. or try vlc. | 23:41 |
| Topy44 | mAriachi: repeating your question doesnt actually help | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: xchat is much better for IRC then pidgin | 23:41 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: better in what way? | 23:41 |
| mAriachi | Topy44: i know, just maybe somebody missed it, i wanna repeat it | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: xchat is an IRC client first and only.. pidgin is not.. irc is just a added on feature.. so its lacking lots of features that xchat has | 23:42 |
| papna | I'm trying to use Tor on Hardy. I've installed "tor" and "polipo" through apt and they are running and I've installed Torbutton in Firefox. When I turn torbutton on, I'm not using tor. | 23:42 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: but i like the look of pidgin now :) | 23:42 |
| Topy44 | ARGH i cant get that stupid white dot removed! | 23:42 |
| ron__ | kinja-sheep thank for the info earlier i tried the sudo command you gave me for the xorg.conf but i don't think it did anything whent back to the command prompt? the xorg.conf file is nowhere i have no clue where it is to edit it? could you give me some more info? | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: a window full of text = irc. thats all the look irc needs. :) | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | papna: tjeres some 'setting up tor in ubuntu' wiki pages you may have missed a step | 23:43 |
| TheMozart | anyone tell me how I can totally remove xchat now? is it "sudo apt-get remove -purge xchat-gnome" ? | 23:43 |
| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:43 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: :) | 23:43 |
| kinja-sheep | ron__: I gave you sudo because you didn't have permissions. As for xorg.conf, you might want to ask kyle6513 if he know the answer. | 23:43 |
| ron__ | ok cool thanks :) | 23:43 |
| tzeentch73 | Anybody know why syslog is reporting this during Ubuntu Server installation, during the grub install : "INFO: Menu item 'grub-installer' succeeded but requested to be left unconfigured." | 23:44 |
| TheMozart | Dr_Willis: is it "sudo apt-get remove -purge xchat-gnome" ? | 23:44 |
| tzeentch73 | it won't go any further in the install... | 23:44 |

| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: no idea on -purge , proberly not needed | 23:44 |
| TheMozart | micale_: hello MATTHEW :P | 23:44 |
| Kamokow | TheMozart: "sudo apt-get purge xchat-gnome" | 23:44 |
| TheMozart | Kamokow: ok | 23:44 |
| TheMozart | Kamokow: whats diff between remove and purge? | 23:45 |
| dj-ice_ | i got 1 ty | 23:45 |

| mAriachi | hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help? | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | TheMozart | 23:45 |
| ubottu | TheMozart: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 23:45 |
| Kamokow | TheMozart: purge also removes the settings for the program, while remove does not | 23:45 |
| TheMozart | Kamokow: so I can always use purge for everytrhing I want to remove? | 23:45 |
| papna | Dr_Willis, All the information I can find is for privoxy, which is out of date, I believe. Do you know if there is anything applicable for Hardy and current torbutton? | 23:45 |

| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: remove removes the package, purge also removes the residual config which remove leaves | 23:46 |
| kyle6513 | ron__, no i did not, sorry | 23:46 |
| wowhelpmeplz | hi | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | papna: when i last used tor in beta testing . i installed privoxy and that worked with tor. | 23:46 |
| Kamokow | TheMozart: You could with most things. I wouldnt recommend it with /everything/ though. Just use your judgement as to whether or not you should also erase the settings. | 23:46 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip__: sounds good | 23:46 |
| wowhelpmeplz | hey guys, I'd like to make a simple flash application | 23:46 |
| mAriachi | wowhelpmeplz: just state your issue dude | 23:46 |
| TheMozart | Kamokow: ok thanks | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip__ | TheMozart: config in ~ will always remain no matter which is used | 23:46 |
| wowhelpmeplz | but I couldn't find a free alternative to adobe's flash | 23:46 |
| domi007 | this is so stupid: i can ping from the pda, i can ping from the pc, but remote desktop still says "cannot connect"...i think i will need an alternate client | 23:46 |
| ron__ | kyle6513 ok well thanks anyway:( | 23:46 |
| wowhelpmeplz | so is there any? | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | papna: i did not even mess with torbutton or any other tor-extas just tor and privoxy is all i used | 23:46 |
| TheMozart | wow, ubuntu runs really well on my 1GB USB stick.. I just hope its saving everything. | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wowhelpmeplz: there isnt one as far as I know as flash is proprietary to adobe | 23:47 |
| micale_ | HELLO MY NAME IS MATTHEW GORE AND I AM ADDICTED TO 'TROLLING' WEB SIGHTS ON THE 'INTERNET'. I LIKE TO POST SPAM COMMENTS ALL DAY LONG AND EVEN PLAY HOOKEY FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES SO THAT I CAN POST MORE SPAM COMMENTS.

| wowhelpmeplz | mkay | 23:47 |
| TheMozart | i bet micale is surprised his still here lol | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wowhelpmeplz: so you will need to buy adobe's product to make it | 23:47 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: how much space did you assign when you made the usb? | 23:47 |
| wowhelpmeplz | but I can't run it natively on ubuntu | 23:47 |
| microhaxo | how do i install the latest version of hdparm on ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| microhaxo | 9.27? | 23:47 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: it suggested 128MB so I did that. is that right? | 23:47 |
| papna | Dr_Willis, torbutton is ostensibly one of the couple recommended ways to use Tor by the Tor project. Did you route all traffic through Tor? | 23:47 |
| tzeentch73 | BTW, ActionParsnip__ , your tip yesterday night about bad memory seemed to have helped. I removed a pair of sticks that were reporting errors. Now the install stucks at the grub install without reporting any error, only that INFO in the syslog. | 23:48 |
| wowhelpmeplz | so there's absolutely no way to produce flash files in ubuntu at the moment? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | wowhelpmeplz: it may run via wine. check the appdb | 23:48 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: well, it leaves you with 128MB of space for changes | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | tzeentch73: sweetas duder :) | 23:48 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: clever, good | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | tzeentch73: memory should be 100% error free to prevent issues | 23:48 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: You can assign alot more than that | 23:48 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: and I assume I should try an update. cause I only have 127MB free | 23:48 |
| TheMozart | not try rather | 23:48 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: This way, if you download changes that are more than 128MB, you're done for | 23:49 |
| tzeentch73 | yeah, now the 4 gigs that left reported no errors. I just hope I can find a way to continue the install from where I am now (Grub install) | 23:49 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: yeah. but isnt my 9.04 still secure enough to use and browse the web etc? | 23:49 |
| j-3-r-g_ | yo | 23:49 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: do another Ubuntu Live Usb, and assign more space, if you like ubuntu, make the whole usb for ubuntu | 23:49 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: even without any updates | 23:49 |
| j-3-r-g_ | wats poppin everyone | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip__ | tzeentch73: you can boot to livecd and install grub | 23:50 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: i cant, its only 1GB | 23:50 |
| tzeentch73 | oh, really? I need to check that out. I burned the live desktop cd also. | 23:50 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: yes, yes it is, but you cannot add stuff, like chrome or vlc, or restricted extras | 23:50 |
| kyle6513 | cya later guys | 23:50 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: why not? | 23:50 |
| jiohdi | Topy44: thanks, I found it :) | 23:51 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: well, if your usb is 1gb, then surely you can assign more than 128 mb | 23:51 |
| domi007 | so it probably will work | 23:51 |
| Jeruvy | can anyone tell me if the 2.6.24-26-generic update is a security update? | 23:51 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: but Ubuntu took 700mb and I assigned 128MB.. so you mean 180MB is doing nothing? | 23:51 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: well 128Mb is just too little | 23:51 |
| pablo | ke?? | 23:51 |
| ron__ | anyone know how to find and edit the xorg.conf so i can change resolution? it is not in the /etc/x11 folder i am using 9.10 | 23:51 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: Exactly | 23:51 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: its just for emergency in case my hard drive dies. | 23:51 |
| j-3-r-g_ | hey I'm no hardware guru but can someone help me out of they don't mind | 23:51 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: oh, in that case, cheers, it's fast and cool though | 23:52 |
| TheMozart | mAriachi: indeed | 23:52 |
| Shirack | Hi does anyone know the source list and terminal command to update my intel drivers. Having problems enabling desktop effects on ubuntu 9.10 | 23:52 |
| TheMozart | :) | 23:52 |
| tzeentch73 | ActionParsnip__ : Would there be a way to configure it from the smallish shell on the server install CD? | 23:52 |
| mAriachi | TheMozart: i have a 2 gig usb, that i use only like a liferaft with xubuntu amdx64 version | 23:52 |
| j-3-r-g_ | I have an old box that won't come on for sh*t | 23:52 |
| F223 | how do I make ubuntu same things to my I: drive by default? | 23:52 |
| onetinsoldier | is there an setting somewhere, where i can make compiz remember what i have open, the windows locations, and their size? | 23:53 |
| jiohdi | j-3-r-g_: try something really small like puppy linux :) | 23:53 |
| mAriachi | Shirack: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-intel-video | 23:53 |
| Grantp | Has anyone used the L2TPNS software? | 23:53 |
| oistopthat | my question is " is xsplash a required application for ubuntu gnome" i get a INIT usplash stop displayed in a terminal screen on shut down | 23:53 |
| microhaxo | Anyone know where the install location of the hdparm is? | 23:54 |
| microhaxo | i need to replace a file | 23:54 |

| j-3-r-g_ | I have an old box that i'm trying to get it back up and running | 23:54 |
| j-3-r-g_ | this is the situation | 23:54 |
| mAriachi | microhaxo: TrY that in a terminal | 23:54 |
| mAriachi | j-3-r-g: just state your issue in one line, more chances of anyone reading it | 23:55 |
| Shirack | marachi it cant find the packae | 23:55 |
| j-3-r-g_ | I have an old box that i recently installed an new DDR sttick and a power supply | 23:55 |
| Shirack | i think i need to add somthing to the source list | 23:55 |
| mAriachi | well try it the other way around | 23:55 |
| mAriachi | Shirack: Xserver-xorg-video-intel | 23:55 |
| j-3-r-g_ | but the box when all hooked up just starts, all the fans spin | 23:55 |
| Shirack | just that line in software sources? | 23:55 |
| j-3-r-g_ | and no bio's | 23:55 |
| j-3-r-g_ | no logo | 23:56 |
| jiohdi | j-3-r-g_: did you try changing the hearing aid battery which keeps the bios alive? | 23:56 |
| mAriachi | Shirack: nope, the same sudo command i mentioned earlier, but the other way around at the end, here;s the whole again | 23:56 |
| j-3-r-g_ | no | 23:56 |
| Shirack | thank you | 23:56 |
| Shirack | sorry bit of a newbie | 23:56 |
| j-3-r-g_ | thanks i should try that | 23:56 |
| j-3-r-g_ | but here is more info if it helps | 23:57 |
| mAriachi | Shirack: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel, or the same, just xserver-xorg-intel-video | 23:57 |
| jiohdi | if the box is old enough its likely dead | 23:57 |
| bobbytek | Is there any way when connected to a vpn I can browse folders on a remote machine? | 23:57 |
| F223 | Ok, I have two screens on my computer. Does anyone know if it's possible to get compiz to work on just one of them? | 23:57 |
| j-3-r-g_ | went switch on the power supply with the button from o to | | 23:57 |
| bobbytek | that is also running ubuntu | 23:57 |
| mAriachi | j-3-r-g: maybe you bought an incompatible ram stick | 23:57 |
| mAriachi | F223: not possible, sorry | 23:57 |
| j-3-r-g_ | the computer automatically comes on well the fan spin like i said | 23:57 |
| F223 | bah humbug :( | 23:57 |

| Shirack | Tried to enable desktop effects and still cant | 23:59 |
