|---|---|---|
| acicula | it is kind of spartan though | 00:00 |
| acicula | but its unix like at least | 00:00 |
| cjae | erUSUL: um well from what I can see is that if I use idle that is not what I want to do since I would like the scanner to be able to work as I am working | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | tgraham | 00:00 |
| ubottu | tgraham: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 00:00 |
| tgraham | ESX uses part of RHEL, so yes, you could call it an OS of sorts. | 00:00 |
| acicula | i was thinking maybe the esx console is mucking it up, but then you wouldnt get past the install | 00:00 |
| erUSUL | cjae: i would do. without disturbing your work | 00:00 |
| BlueG | any suggestions on getting useful diagnostic information when Ubuntu fails to connect to a wireless network? | 00:00 |

| erUSUL | BlueG: tailf /var/log/syslog | 00:01 |
| acicula | tgraham: dont have anything else thats more helpfull :/ | 00:03 |
| tgraham | In regards to what? The fact I've installed 8.10 in an ESX4 environment a ton of times, but this is the first time it's acted like this? Nope, I'm at a loss. | 00:04 |
| Coachj | I really dislike F_spot is it "safe" to add the google repos to DL Picasa? | 00:04 |

| sebsebseb | tgraham: #ubuntu-server for server edition help | 00:05 |
| _Tristan | Bad. Update manager just removed my Human theme. | 00:05 |
| faileas | Coachj: depends on your definition of safe, but yeah, it should be alight | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: uhmm probably not | 00:05 |

| _Tristan | sebsebseb: any way to revert an update? | 00:06 |
| tgraham | Installs just fine. | 00:06 |
| _Tristan | we'll see... | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: don't think you can just undo an update | 00:07 |
| crdlb | CAPcap: then the driver name is "radeon" | 00:07 |

| Matr|x | i got this error while im installing some thing Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir can any body help me | 00:08 |
| tgraham | No, haven't tried 8.04. | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | tgraham: that's the one you should be trying now, 8.10 will run out of support in April | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | tgraham: or maybe May | 00:09 |
| Izinucs | tgraham: did the user or pass have any spaces in it? .. does it give the grub menu and if so can you boot to the rescue kernel (from there create another user).. | 00:09 |
| onetinsoldier | CAPcap: Xorg | 00:09 |
| tgraham | No spaces. | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | cjae: there is no point that is the default priority. | 00:09 |

| ubottu | Tee-Bone: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Tee-Bone: just ask the question :-) | 00:12 |
| Tee-Bone | thanks ubottu | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | !thanks | Tee-Bone | 00:12 |
| ubottu | Tee-Bone: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 00:12 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: there's 1271 of us in here.. somebody might know the answer to your question | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | !details | Tee-Bone | 00:13 |
| ubottu | Tee-Bone: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:13 |
| renegaid | I just did a clean install and the first thing it did was downloadthe updates and something installed with an error. now whenever I install something it gives an error even though it installed fine | 00:13 |
| BlueG | onetinsoldier: hmm, that is hard when the machine with the output won't get online... I may try saving the output to a flash drive and pasting it later. | 00:13 |
| Tee-Bone | While installing Ubuntu 9.10, the full install screen runs well off the visible screen on my gateway notebook. | 00:13 |
| Izinucs | renegaid: try this in a termial... sudo apt-get -f install | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | BlueG: ahh, roger. didn't know it couldn't get online | 00:14 |
| Matr|x | i got this error while im installing some thing Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir can any body help me | 00:14 |
| jolaren | How do I change name of a user or remove the user? | 00:14 |
| Tee-Bone | I managed a succssful install using 'safe mode', but now i'm stuck with a lousy screen resolution 800x600 vga | 00:14 |
| cjae | erUSUL: I dont see where where you see that | 00:14 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: what kind of video card do you have | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | cjae: sorry missread it. you are right | 00:14 |
| Tee-Bone | S3 UniChrome™ Pro integrated graphics processor | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: system > administration > hardware drivers install graphics card driver if available | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: which manufacture is your card? | 00:15 |
| renegaid | what does that terminal command do | 00:15 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: ouch.. one of the more problemmatic cards.. | 00:15 |
| Tee-Bone | not sure of manfacturer...been searching the gateway site | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | jolaren: you use the 'usermod' and 'deluser' commands | 00:16 |
| CAPcap | it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? | 00:16 |
| renegaid | 9.10 seems to be a bit buggy | 00:16 |
| Tee-Bone | should i try a different release? | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: uhmm | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | jolaren: or... System --> Administration --> User and Groups | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: try this, but there probably isn't anything avaialble system > adminstration > hardware drivers | 00:17 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: in a terminal type ... sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome .. that will in stall the driver .. then look in system>admin>hardware drivers and see if it's sitting there to be activated.. | 00:17 |
| jolaren | onetinsoldier; I've tried "usermod -l olduser user" but didnt work | 00:17 |
| acicula | Tee-Bone: S3, that an old computer? | 00:17 |
| venport | I have a problem with samba and a wireless bridge, can anyone give me a little help? Here are the details. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1395305 | 00:17 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: it's a Via S3 unichrome card.. problemmatic buggers | 00:17 |
| Tee-Bone | computer is about 3 years old | 00:17 |
| Tee-Bone | I'll try the terminal thing - thanmks | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | lzy: yes probably, I don't know of that make even | 00:18 |
| Tee-Bone | :) | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | Via sounds a little familur maybe | 00:18 |
| _Tristan | restarting did not solve my problem. | 00:19 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: google it and ubuntu.. you'll see lots of struggling people with a card like that | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: well that was a bit confussing it's a i not a l, so my auto complete messed up above | 00:19 |
| onetinsoldier | jolaren: yeah. sorry, my bad. i don't know about changing the actual name of the user. it's kind of tied to a lot things. you'd probably just need to create a new user altogether | 00:19 |
| _Tristan | update uninstalled the human theme, how do I reinstall it? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: well at least there seems to be something in the repo for it? | 00:19 |
| CShadowRun | Anyone know of a text editor that I can easily add code documentation to? like vims omnicomplete, only easy, and with a GUI. | 00:19 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: I should go back to Scunizi but that nick is logged in via my laptop | 00:19 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: yep.. and openchrome driver | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: Tee-Bone as for all these hardware issues, that's what people get for trying to do Ubuntu on unsupported hardware | 00:20 |
| jolaren | onetinsoldier; got any clue on how to remove a user then? | 00:20 |
| cjae | erUSUL: so would that command auto lauch the app or should I start it first? | 00:20 |
| CAPcap | it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? | 00:20 |
| erUSUL | cjae: it would launch it | 00:20 |
| CAPcap | ati mobility radeon 9000 | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | lnx4ver: Tee-Bone and it's the fault of the manufacture why the support is lacking or why there isn't any | 00:20 |
| faileas | sebsebseb: and s3s tend to suck on any os, whatsoever. | 00:20 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: | 00:21 |
| cjae | erUSUL: thanks again | 00:21 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: yeeesss.. :) | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: your current name, I am not sure what that one is about at all, same for Scunizi ,but that one seems to make more sense :) | 00:21 |
| jolaren | I want to edit a thing that boots automaticly so that it will run as root.. I don't know how to edit this now | 00:21 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: Izinucs is Scunizi backwards.. my backup nick.. we've talked a bunch in the past | 00:22 |
| _Tristan | update removed my themes, how do I reinstall them? | 00:22 |
| onetinsoldier | jolaren: if you read the man page about changing a user's name with the -l command it states that the name of the home directory should be changed as well | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: not a bunch, but here and there yeah | 00:22 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: for sure.. | 00:22 |
| jolaren | onetinsoldier; Yeah, but it complains about parameters.. long time ago I used ubuntu server | 00:23 |
| jolaren | onetinsoldier; If you know how to edit startup jobs or just regular whatever that boots .. then please let me know.. I want a process to be started as root | 00:23 |
| Tee-Bone | Izinucs - i tried the sudo command and got back that the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is already the latest version | 00:23 |
| Izinucs | sebsebseb: I switched over to kubuntu 64 recently.. to try it out.. it's pretty nice | 00:23 |
| onetinsoldier | jolaren: as far as removing a user, it should be as easy as --> sudo deluser <username> | 00:23 |
| jolaren | yer its done already | 00:24 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: ok.. do you have a lcd or CRT monitor? | 00:24 |
| Tee-Bone | sebsebseb: lnx4ver: was hoping to revive an older Win XP machine by switching to linux...not so smart as i thought? | 00:24 |
| cvd | why the hell when i use windows i feel bored instanly but with linux never | 00:24 |
| Tee-Bone | izinucs: lcd (laptop) | 00:24 |
| cjae | Izinucs: kubuntu is great 10.04 should make me very happy | 00:24 |
| marcosRz | guys I installed the latest kde and the plasma keeps crashing | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: it is a good idea, but if it works out properly or not, depends on the hardware mainly | 00:24 |
| marcosRz | how do I go back? | 00:24 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: oh another distro might work better with your hardware, but doesn't seem like it | 00:25 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: hang in there.. all is not lost.. might be that your monitor doesn't report the resolution that it needs to the system.. so xrandr is the solution... open a terminal and type xrandr then enter.. it will list all the available resolutions currently.. if it's not there you can add the one you want. | 00:25 |
| sebsebseb | mac9416: you used a ppa? | 00:26 |
| Matr|x | Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir | 00:26 |
| Tee-Bone | izinucs - will try, thanks | 00:26 |
| Izinucs | cjae: I agree.. didn't like 3.5.xx much.. just too "busy" but 4.x is much more polished. | 00:26 |

| Tee-Bone | izinucs - max res is 800x600. how do i add? is this editing the xorg.conf? | 00:26 |
| cjae | Izinucs: I hated 3.5.x | 00:27 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: nope.. xrandr is what you use.. and will have to look up a reference page for you.. hang on. | 00:27 |
| cjae | Izinucs: so windows 98 like :/ | 00:27 |
| Tee-Bone | gracias | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | Tee-Bone: and then hardware can be tricky to configure, but you got Izinucs / scunizi trying to help you, and he is one of the main helpers here, and seems to know his stuff. So you will probably be alright. | 00:27 |
| anil56554 | where to get awn themes | 00:28 |
| Tee-Bone | i'm very impressed by this chat | 00:28 |
| cjae | Izinucs: thinking about donating to kde for | 00:28 |
| cjae | it | 00:28 |
| Izinucs | Tee-Bone: check this page out.. there's a lot of info there so what you need to pay attention to is "adding" the resolution you want then "activating" that resolution.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution. | 00:29 |

| Berzerker | so I'm using virtualbox with ubuntu, how do I make my shared folder mount on boot? | 00:29 |
| Izinucs | cjae: be worth it.. It'll be really interesting if they can get a smooth port to winXX and get those people hooked on the apps.. then move them entirely to linux | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | Berzerker: there's a manual you can get from their site which is pretty good, and there's also #vbox | 00:30 |
| Berzerker | sebsebseb, I think I got it, would running the mount command in /etc/init.d/rc.local work? | 00:30 |
| cjae | Izinucs: ya I ve used kde apps on windows... pretty cool... not just move them to linux but to *nix period ;) | 00:31 |
| Izinucs | cjae: did they crash a lot? | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | Izinucs: yeah KDE want to be cross platform it seems, there's even an unoffical way to get it for haiku. Not sure if you know about that one, alpha 1, and like BEOS. I still need to virtual machine try that. | 00:32 |
| cjae | a bit but that was many months ago | 00:32 |
| _Tristan | apt-get says I have human-theme installed but appearence says it isn't installed | 00:33 |
| Izinucs | cjae: I like the binary clock widget.. almost to the point where I don't have to think/add about it. :) | 00:33 |
| Berzerker | how would I make a command that cds to a folder? | 00:34 |
| sebsebseb | cjae: KDE 3.5 and 4 are both quite Windows like by default really, then geek to customize even more so for KDE 4 it seems than KDE 3.5 | 00:34 |
| jrib | Berzerker: cd PATH ? | 00:34 |
| Izinucs | Berzerker: cd /folder/location | 00:34 |
| Berzerker | jrib, like I want the command "android" to do cd /media/android | 00:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Berzerker: make a bash alias. | 00:35 |
| jrib | Berzerker: alias android='cd /media/android' | 00:35 |
| Berzerker | k thanks | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Time to read up on bash basics. :) well thats not really a 'basic' thing.. but its pretty fundamental | 00:35 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: where are bash alias's stored? | 00:35 |
| jrib | yeah, understanding everything in ubuntu's default ~/.bashrc is a good goal :) | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: no where. You deind them in the bash init scripts | 00:36 |
| Tee-Bone | does terminal gedit support cut and paste? | 00:36 |
| CAPcap | it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? ati mobility radeon 9000 | 00:36 |
| jrib | Tee-Bone: what do you mean by "terminal gedit"? | 00:36 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: aren't the scripts someplace? | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: an alais technically is not a script. | 00:36 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: like ~/.bashrc ? | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: you can make user scripts in /home/username/bin | 00:36 |
| Tee-Bone | accessories--> terminal sudo gedit | 00:36 |

| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: ok.. so if I "alias=<command>" and then I want to edit it.. do I just redo the alias command or is there a location I go to edit the alias? | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: redo the alias command. | 00:40 |

| cjae | sebsebseb: no I thought you meant me | 00:41 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: ok.. I'm just thinking the system has to store that alias someplace for later reference and I was curious where | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: alias are a bash feature and in shells memory.. same as 1000+ other bash variables and settings | 00:42 |

| Izinucs | jrib: how do I get it to be persistant through a reboot? | 00:42 |
| jrib | jolaren: that's something in the repositories right? | 00:42 |
| jolaren | jrib; it boots atm as regular user but then it wont work so i have to close it down then restart it with root | 00:42 |
| jrib | jolaren: what does "regular user" mean? | 00:43 |
| adante | jolaren: mythtv-backend package should have an initscript - if you are building your own from source you should be able to copy that | 00:43 |
| iflema | Izinucs ~/.bashrc | 00:43 |
| jolaren | adante; I'm not compiling it myself | 00:43 |
| Izinucs | iflema: thank you | 00:43 |
| jolaren | jrib; regular user? | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: you define them in .bashrc bash reads/makes them when it starts up .. there ya go.. | 00:43 |
| jrib | jolaren: yeah. Which user exactly? | 00:43 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: :) I knew it had to be someplace.. | 00:44 |
| jolaren | jrib; I think It's the mythtv user who runs the commando from the boot | 00:44 |
| adante | jolaren: odd that it won't run as root -- see if there is a BACKENDUSER or equivalent var in the script(or conf.d) or manually edit the initscript yourself and change teh start-stop-daemon to run as root | 00:44 |
| adante | er, non-root i mean | 00:44 |
| jrib | jolaren: right, so obviously it's intended to run that way. You should troubleshoot why it doesn't work with that user, not make it run as root. What's the issue? | 00:45 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: bashrc file says towards the bottom that you can create a seperate file called /bash_aliases to store personal aliases.. | 00:45 |

| Dr_Willis | lolhalplz: i did have an odd quirk on my AAO where i had to boot to windows and turn on the wireless (via the switch) then reboot back to linux the first time. | 01:31 |

| === Guest6188 is now known as adriano | ||
| goose | jolaren: then write your script better? :p or crontab | 01:31 |
| lolhalplz | Dr_Willis: What switch? | 01:32 |
| dinosaurvskitten | I have "LABEL=IAUDIO /media/audioplayer/ auto uid=1000,gid=1000,noatime,nls=utf8,sync,user 0 0" in /etc/fstab, yet "mount /media/audioplayer" says that there is no such entry in /etc/fstab. What gives? I can mount the device by hand by doing "mount LABEL=IAUDIO /media/audioplayer" just fine... | 01:32 |
| acicula | playfirst: what are you doing, where is it failing, what error does it give and what did you expect to happen, also why do you think apic is involved | 01:32 |
| jrib | jolaren: again, you shouldn't be trying to change the user unless you are reading somewhere in the docemuntation that you have to do so. I can't help you unless you explain *exactly* what you are doing and the complete error message you recieve. Also, you might want to try the mythtv channel | 01:32 |

| Zarrex | yep. from a load of googles it might be bug | 01:33 |
| T__ | !firestarter | 01:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 01:33 |
| CAPcap | I'm using a laptop with a built in graphics card. an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. Im using the default drivers. x.org says that 3D is supported and stable but nothing with 3D works for me. Blender and similar modeling/rendering programs, flight sims, and videogames like warsow and nexuiz | 01:34 |
| Zarrex | it looks like a new blank disk with nothing on it. | 01:34 |
| playfirst | i have 3 partitions for suse 2 extension cores and 1 swap. i created on the same harddrive the same 3 partitions and went to install ubuntu. at the end of the installation comp just restarts and thats it. | 01:34 |
| acicula | playfirst: how does the installation end? | 01:34 |
| Zarrex | testdisk has found the volume and that is as far as i got | 01:34 |
| playfirst | the ubuntu loading bar loads comp restarts and thats it | 01:35 |
| playfirst | i think its cause i have it partitioned | 01:35 |
| playfirst | like when i select that harddrive to load it loads susu | 01:35 |

| sebsebseb | doinel: no you probably still have the old Grub, which is fine | 01:39 |
| playfirst | if you have a few different linux operating systems on 1 harddrive how do u choose which one to boot? | 01:39 |

| Zarrex | apologies. Didn't mean to offend with the double post. Still learning the ropes. First chat room ever | 01:40 |
| sebsebseb | playfirst: apparatnly with Karmic's Grub 2 you can't, or you can't easilly, boot other distros from it, becasue of the way they done Grub 2 | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | playfirst: my GRUB menu shiows them all | 01:40 |

| usser | jolaren, cat filename | 01:41 |
| scunizi | JCC_Starguy: irssi all the way.. with screen | 01:41 |

| cryptk | I am setting up dual monitors, I can already get it to work, but not in the way i want... All I want is mirrored displays | 01:51 |
| jrib | !helpme | plustax | 01:51 |
| ubottu | plustax: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 01:51 |

| Dr_Willis | rahduke: http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/FAQ:Controls#How_do_I_configure_the_keys.3F | 01:51 |
| cryptk | so where is the option to set it to mirrored displays | 01:51 |

| plustax | Guys. I need some real help. My computer froze to crap so I had to isusb and when I did, it started back up and put me in a maintence shell. The error says mount of filesystem failed, A maintenance shell will now be started. How to get my machine back to normal? | 01:51 |
| rumpsy | But this is not happening in Debian? | 01:51 |
| anto9us | p6209, you can print to pdf if that helps. At least it will stop you wasting paper as you experiment. :) | 01:51 |
| doinel | plustax: What do you mean by isusb? | 01:51 |
| Zemmy | what is the best way to change the order in the grub menu in grub2? | 01:51 |
| p6209 | anto9us: heh even with PDF it doesn't look too pretty | 01:51 |
| rahduke | Dr_Willis: found it, tried it and it works... as usual you solved my problem... you are the man. Thanks :) | 01:51 |
| plustax | Its a combination that restarts and unmounts in case of freezing doinel | 01:52 |
| p6209 | I'll have to experiment with PDFs again though | 01:52 |
| plustax | I learned it here | 01:52 |
| cryptk | does anyone know of a good website that explains dual monitors in ubuntu? I have read several but none of them show how to do a simple mirrored setup | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rahduke: you had to hit escape fast or somthnig? :) | 01:52 |

| cryptk | I just want one screen to show exactly what is on the other | 01:52 |

| Toink | Hi. How do I make apache2 auto-start auto rebooting in Karmic? | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptk: not for intel on my AAO - i use the normal display config tookl in the menus.. and it lets me do the same. No idea on ATI | 01:53 |
| Toink | *after | 01:53 |
| rahduke | Dr_Willis: i dunno i guess sdlmame keybindings are different, xmame worked. I'm using a UK keyboard atm while configuring the box that could have also contributed to the issue | 01:53 |
| victor__ | hola | 01:53 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, I am on Nvidia, not ATI | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptk: use the nvidis-settings tool perhaps? | 01:54 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, I am using it, but I can't get it to just clone the displays | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | cryptk: i enable twinview and clone the outputs.. actually the defaults for my 3 nvidia machines are to 'clone' also | 01:54 |
| rahduke | Dr_Willis: I'll stick around and try to take care of some low hanging fruit issues with ya... you've helped me so much recently. its the least i can do | 01:54 |
| usser | playfirst, some motherboard manufacturers dont really properly implement acpi standards, linux sometimes chokes on those cards | 01:54 |
| scunizi | rumpsy: that's the right driver.. at least according to nvidia.. the only other possible solution is to try the binary driver direct from nvidia.. but I gotta warn you, you'll have to uninstall all the nvidia bits ubuntu installs before installing the binary.. also with every kernel upgrade you'll have to reinstall the driver.. | 01:54 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, found it... DOH! | 01:55 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, thanks... | 01:55 |
| Toink | Does anyone know why the terminal is called "uçbirim" in Turkish? :D | 01:55 |
| cryptk | Dr_Willis, is it possible to clone them with the screens running at different resolutions? | 01:55 |

| scunizi | Toink: what is the translation of that? | 01:56 |
| rahduke | cryptk: if you have a decent nvidia card you should try their latest beta drivers with VDPAU works amazing for 1080p video | 01:56 |
| rumpsy | scunizi: can go to older than 173.xx | 01:56 |
| faileas | Ok.. i'm using gw6c to connect to a ipv6 tunnel - it needs to be run as root. However it periodically fails, silently. Is there some way i could have my system check if the tun device is in ifconfig every 10 minutes or so, and start the app again? i'm using ubuntu karmic | 01:56 |
| migg137 | rahduke, thanks | 01:56 |
| cryptk | rahduke, it is an 8800GTX | 01:56 |
| disappearedng | I can't play certain wmv files, when I open it it complains about wmap codec I installed w32codec already any idea why? | 01:56 |
| Toink | scunizi, I don't have it my dictionary (which is not particularly modern) so I've been wondering. No, it doesn't mean anything bad. | 01:56 |
| scunizi | rumpsy: no.. the 173 was updated to work with xorg 1.7+ .. it was a pretty major change | 01:56 |
| rahduke | that should be good enough, if u wana watch HD vdpau is the way to go | 01:56 |
| rumpsy | scunizi: okay, i'll try, brb | 01:57 |
| rumpsy | Thankyou | 01:57 |
| rahduke | cryptk: just add ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to your repos in Karmic | 01:57 |
| rahduke | and u can safely upgrade | 01:57 |
| scunizi | Toink: not what I thought.. but the english translation might give clues.. is the language on your machine set to turkish? (just wondering if it's set to english and you had a turkish word showing up then there's something else going on) | 01:58 |
| cryptk | rahduke, what is the main benefit of those drivers? | 01:58 |
| rahduke | VDPAU | 01:58 |
| rahduke | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU | 01:58 |
| cryptk | so basically acceleration of video, not jsut 3d graphics | 01:59 |
| rahduke | cryptk: yup, the new mplayer supports it....smplayer does as well and boxee and xbmc | 02:00 |
| Kayel | anyone available for some help with my wireless? for once its not configuring my card | 02:01 |
| scunizi | rahduke: is that the same driver as the latest binary blob direct from nvidia? | 02:01 |
| Toink | scunizi, not right now but the language used to be Turkish, and I'm going to change it back to Turkish again. My favorite way of learning languages :) | 02:01 |

| pasjr | anyone know if D-link usb's are good | 02:29 |
| Roasted | blakkheim, theres a bug with compositing and flash, and a lot of users post that the 64 bit alpha solves it, so I want to try it. | 02:29 |
| scunizi | Roasted: if you're running 64 and do the "restricted-extras" it'll pull the 64 bit version. or list the medibuntu repos and do it from there. | 02:30 |
| trism | Roasted: you should just need to put the lib into ~/.mozilla/plugins | 02:30 |
| Roasted | scunizi, I am running 64, and I have restricted extras. But I was told restricted extras is just 32 bit with a wrapper to make it work. | 02:30 |
| scunizi | Roasted: I'm running 64 kubuntu with no issues.. not sure about the wrapper.. it just "works" | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | as per wiki | 02:31 |
| Roasted | scunizi, the bug is when you have compositing enabled, on some flash videos on youtube, you cant fast forward or anything. | 02:31 |
| sebastien_ | wicd refuses to get an IP from my wireless network. anyone got any ideas why? | 02:31 |
| Roasted | scunizi, which is kind of a PITA, but some users said the 64 bit alpha runs great and solves that issue. | 02:31 |
| scunizi | Roasted: haven't tried that.. | 02:31 |
| scunizi | Roasted: FastF or the alpha | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: thers some issues with compuiz and clicking on flash buttons ive seen - theres several fix;s out for taht. | 02:32 |
| scunizi | Roasted: however the medibuntu repos might actually be serving up the alpha version.. not sure though | 02:32 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, such as? I havent seen any besides just using the 64 alpha. | 02:32 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, I have never had problems with wicd, wired or wireless, when you say refuses, what erorr do you get | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: i had the issue here. disabled compiz.. saw some site that mentioned about 4 other things to try. None iof which was to use the alpha... | 02:33 |

| sahal | danbhfive: no, this is an old install of 8.04. | 02:33 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, I dont want to disable compiz, though, because I use docky which requires compositing. | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: i googled for 'flash button 9.10 click' | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: and found several hits. | 02:33 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop i'll get a log in a sec. it connects, then hangs on requesting IP address for a while then error. which i will try to replicate | 02:33 |
| danbhfive | sahal: yeah, I dunno | 02:34 |
| sahal | danbhfive: i think it has to do with sessions | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: easiest fix for me was just turn off compiz. so thats all i tried | 02:34 |
| E-TARD | I'm looking for an app called xxd its a app that make hex dump files | 02:34 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, but that's not an option with me, or else I would. | 02:34 |
| E-TARD | where can i find it for gentoo | 02:34 |
| blakkheim | ^lol | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !find xxd | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Found: xxdiff, xxdiff-scripts | 02:34 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, I assume you have verified your router has dhcp enabled | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: check the other fix's then. | 02:35 |
| E-TARD | i installed that xxdiff | 02:35 |
| E-TARD | but xxd did not work | 02:35 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, all it says is connection failed unable to get ip adress | 02:35 |
| sahal | danbhfive: when it first happened i just deleted ~/.metacity/sessions and gnome started | 02:35 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, yeah. no issues there | 02:35 |
| Hansard | my wireless works but after about 5 minutes it stops working and occasionally it just disconnects... it's at about 50% of the bar of signal strength... anyone know a troubleshooting link? | 02:35 |
| sahal | danbhfive: it happened again and i tried to do the same thing but it didn't work | 02:35 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, let me track down my debug log | 02:35 |
| E-TARD | so no one knows where i can get xdd for gentoo | 02:35 |
| amphi0n | anyone know how setup ubuntu server to send me sms text messages to my cellphone about errors/updates etc?? | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | E-TARD: ask in #gentoo perhaps? | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | E-TARD: or find the source. | 02:36 |
| E-TARD | i cant get in there | 02:36 |
| * danbhfive shrugs at sahal | 02:36 | |
| Dr_Willis | E-TARD: reguster your nick | 02:36 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, wired or wireless | 02:36 |
| trism | E-TARD: xxd is in vim-common, on ubuntu anyway | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !register | E-TARD | 02:36 |

| dregier | i tried booting with no xorg.conf file | 02:36 |
| wishe1 | amphi0n: you need an sms server.. that costs money afaik | 02:36 |
| dregier | no luck, i tried putting the xorg.conf.failsafe file in place but that did not work either | 02:37 |
| E-TARD | ok how about this who makes xxd & what would be the site for it | 02:37 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop wireless | 02:37 |
| halojen | amphi0n you could try twitter, depending on the country its free | 02:37 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, i can connect through ethernet (its how i'm connected atm) | 02:37 |
| amphi0n | no opensoure sms servers for ubuntu? | 02:37 |
| trism | E-TARD: xxd is part of vim | 02:37 |
| Hansard | aside from the problem with my wireless, is this the place to get help with troubleshooting a failed 9.1 upgrade? | 02:37 |
| === wishe1 is now known as wish^ | ||
| danbhfive | E-TARD: try: sudo apt-get install vim-common | 02:37 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, and did this work previously or trying first time ? | 02:37 |
| Roasted | The path to put the 64 bit flash file is .mozilla/plugins, right? | 02:37 |

| lolhalplz | I just found out that ubuntu picks up my Atheros AR8132 now, but my card won't work. | 02:38 |
| lolhalplz | Help? | 02:38 |
| E-TARD | so if i install app-editors/gvim then i will have xxd | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | That url has about 3 solutions to the 'flash click not working' problem | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | E-TARD: try it and see. we dont use Gentoo here. | 02:38 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, i don't follow. I haven't been able to connect to the wireless so far | 02:38 |
| E-TARD | hay if it works or not you have been a big help | 02:38 |
| Roasted | why does flash have to suck so fricken bad. :/ | 02:39 |
| lampliter | having problems with apt-get. see lines 12-13 in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d54803e7d | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: because adobe would rather rant then fix things | 02:39 |
| * Dr_Willis waits for flash to go the way of 'realplayer' | 02:39 | |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, what is this HTML5? Will it be taking over flash? I keep hearing a lot about it. | 02:39 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, okay i have a log | 02:39 |
| kungfu711 | I need some help to install memcached for php. I compiled php and memcache myself. Now when i try to install php5-memcache or use pecl memcache or even compile it myself i can't get it to show up in phpinfo(). memcached is running fine, just can't get it to associate with php. I have added the extension=memcache.so even put the full path and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: Youtube is allready doing html5 support. I imagine it will slap flash around quite a bit in the future | 02:40 |
| overmacht | morning Dr_Willis | 02:40 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, that is what I wanted to know, if the wireless ever worked... have you tried connecting using static ip temporarily, just to make sure other issues like authentication with the AP is working | 02:40 |
| Hansard | do we take a ticket to get in line for help? :) | 02:40 |
| faileas | Roasted: Html5 is the next version of html. it has support for video baked in | 02:40 |
| lampliter | try chrome. great demo for html5 video | 02:40 |
| Roasted | faileas - nice, nice. is it far off in the future before it goes mainstream? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: the majority iof issues i see with flash at different sites is how they are forceing ads into the videos.. that can break things | 02:40 |
| dsnyders | Hansard, You could take a ticket, or you could just ask your question. | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: i use html5 at youtube now. | 02:40 |
| faileas | Roasted: unlike ipv6, its an 'any moment now' thing | 02:40 |
| Hansard | dsnyders: I did ask, so where are the tickets? | 02:41 |
| kungfu711 | not really | 02:41 |
| faileas | Roasted: most decent browsers have some degree of support already | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | google chrome supports html5- and google owns youtube right? | 02:41 |
| kungfu711 | once ms gets their shit together | 02:41 |
| danbhfive | Dr_Willis: how do you get html5 for youtube? I tried it, and it didn't work | 02:41 |
| faileas | kungfu711: it'll never happen ;p | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | last release of FF also did html5 | 02:41 |
| lolhalplz | Figured out that ubuntu picks up my wireless card, which is Atheros AR8132. | 02:41 |
| kungfu711 | yea no kidding | 02:41 |
| lolhalplz | But it's not working. | 02:41 |
| sebastien_ | hipitihop, there are two other windows laptops which connect no problem. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5b43d14 | 02:41 |
| lolhalplz | HELP. | 02:41 |
| Roasted | Is YouTube utilizing html5 yet? | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | danbhfive: thers some Youtube site you set 'let me test html5' on i recall | 02:41 |
| kungfu711 | html5 would be in use by now if it weren't for ms | 02:41 |
| te | Roasted: yes | 02:41 |
| faileas | Roasted: experimentally | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: YES it is. :) i said so 3 times now :) | 02:41 |
| te | kungfu711: not true | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: but not for all videos. :) | 02:42 |
| te | kungfu711: the specification isnt finished | 02:42 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, didnt notice. | 02:42 |
| faileas | kungfu711: eh, ms dosen't even support html4 properly ;p | 02:42 |
| kungfu711 | theres enough there to support a lot of it | 02:42 |
| te | ms get a 30 on the ACID3 test | 02:42 |
| dsnyders | Hansard, If nobody helps right away, then wait 10-20 minutes and try again. Sometimes the right people are not online. | 02:42 |
| te | all other browsers get > 80 | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 02:42 |
| te | (modern browsers) | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: http://www.youtube.com/html5. | 02:42 |
| dsnyders | Hansard, As far as the tickets, I just looked. The dispenser is empty. | 02:42 |
| concretesledge_ | i think it worked thanks | 02:42 |
| Hansard | dsnyders: ok thanks, I'll wait. | 02:43 |
| kungfu711 | i wish ms would dump ie 6 already | 02:43 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: what have you done to see that it is picked up but not working? | 02:43 |
| faileas | kungfu711: they want to. ;p. | 02:43 |
| faileas | MS has a zombie problem XD | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: http://www.youtube.com/html5 -> 'join the html5 beta' of coruse you jhave to use a browser that supports html5 | 02:43 |
| Roasted | wow, firefox isnt in the list? | 02:43 |
| te | So I'm having a weird issue with what system monitor is telling me about my network connection. From the moment I booted up I was uploading (according to system monitor) 150-200kbps. This is either inaccurate or something really weird is going on. Could someone help me diagnose whether this is inaccurate, and if it is accurate, what is causing such a massive amount of upload traffic? | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: th4e latest firefox supports html5 | 02:43 |
| trism | you also can't use firefox, because it only supports theora at the moment | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: earlier ones do not | 02:44 |
| Roasted | I assume 3.5.7 isnt it? | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I had it working with 3.6 the other day | 02:44 |
| lolhalplz | dambhfive: I was running a system test and it said I had an Atheros AR8132 wireless card, but the card isn't working. It works fine in Windows. | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: get 3.6 and try | 02:44 |
| amphi0n | anyone else have any ideas about setting ubuntu server to send sms to my cellphone? im scouring google right now - but thought id jump in here for help to | 02:44 |
| Roasted | is there a PPA for it? | 02:44 |
| kungfu711 | chrome is the best when it comes to implementing html5 | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: yes | 02:44 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: what is a system test? | 02:45 |
| Roasted | gotta love how-to guides. E: Package firefox-3.6 has no installation candidate | 02:45 |
| E-TARD | i went with app-editors/vim & now i got xxd I thank you all soo much for your help. | 02:45 |
| lolhalplz | danbhfive: System, Administration, System Testing. | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: add the ppa, apt-get update, install firefox 3.6 worked for me | 02:45 |
| Roasted | yep | 02:45 |
| Devrethman | does chmod work on NTFS-3g mounted FSs? | 02:45 |
| Roasted | did that | 02:45 |
| acicula | Roasted: enable backports? | 02:45 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, the fact that other machines connect is goot but only confirms the router wifi is working but does not confirm you have teh failing machine setup correctly | 02:46 |
| lampliter | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d54803e7d -- Reading database ... 70%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error,... any ideas | 02:46 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: so, does it work? can you connect? | 02:46 |
| lampliter | all solutions I could google failed | 02:46 |
| concretesledge_ | lampliter, try harder. | 02:46 |
| concretesledge_ | lazy ass | 02:47 |
| concretesledge_ | :P | 02:47 |
| kungfu711 | lol | 02:47 |
| kungfu711 | thats my situation right now | 02:47 |
| acicula | behave | 02:47 |
| kungfu711 | google has failed me | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/ has a guide on installing ff3.6 | 02:47 |
| acicula | lampliter: try reconfiguring or forcibly reinstalling the offending package and then removing it | 02:47 |
| lolhalplz | danbhfive: No, I can't connect. When I unplugged my ethernet cord my wireless card wouldn't connect to my home connection. I even created a wireless connection to use when it works, it wouldn't connect. My router is up and running. Dunno what's wrong. | 02:48 |
| drew3 | I am full of windows :-) All windows open fill screen, anyone know how to adjust this? | 02:48 |
| faileas | Dr_Willis: i wish they'd just make an excemption for firefox, and install the latest stable, no matter what, like its done with most other OSes >< | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | drew3: using the UNR? | 02:48 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: i can probably help. need to be careful though | 02:48 |
| hipitihop | sebastien_, so in wicd you can see your wireless AP and you have confirmed via the "properties" button that encryption type and keys are set correctly, like other laptops that work | 02:48 |
| * drew3 googles UNR? | 02:48 | |
| lampliter | tried forece remove and it still failed | 02:49 |
| acicula | faileas: know many other os that come with a repo? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | faileas: i dont see as many peple in here asking about 3.6 as i have with other FF releases.. perhaps they are all learning to google/read/follow the 1000+ guides out there on how to install it via ppa :) | 02:49 |
| lolhalplz | UNR = Ubuntu Netbook Remix. | 02:49 |
| jmburgess | drew3: Ubuntu Network Remix | 02:49 |
| lampliter | so onetinsoldier , ideas? | 02:49 |
| drew3 | Ahh OH, it is gnome. | 02:49 |
| faileas | lol | 02:49 |
| Roasted | Found on the forum how to install 3.6. Installed the ppa. upgraded. closed firefox. opened it. help - about firefox - 3.5.7. LOL? | 02:49 |
| faileas | acicula: in general | 02:49 |
| dsnyders | amphi0n, Have you looked at http://john.mcclumpha.org/linux/Build_your_own_SMS_gateway_with_Ubuntu_Linux_and_Gammu/ | 02:49 |
| Kayel | hipitihop its sebastien_ switched to my desktop | 02:49 |
| faileas | Roasted: if its a nightly, it'll be under the codename | 02:50 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: yes. it means editing a file that requires care editing. make a back up it first | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: check the menus for ff under a different name | 02:50 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: is this a fresh install? what version? | 02:50 |
| lampliter | right | 02:50 |
| hipitihop | Kayel, ok | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: depenins on what PPA it may or may not use the name 'firefox' | 02:50 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: make a backup of it first* | 02:50 |
| lampliter | whih file? | 02:50 |
| Kayel | hipitihop, so where do i go from here. if it serves any purpose i have a broadcom 4306 card running under ndiswrapper | 02:50 |
| Roasted | Is there an official PPA for 3.6 so I can stop using these BS suggestions Im finding on random sites? | 02:50 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: please address replies to me with my nick ;-) | 02:50 |
| lolhalplz | danbhfive: Yes, it's Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10. | 02:51 |
| acicula | Kayel: is your AP using WPA? | 02:51 |
| Hansard | my friend upgrades from 9.04 to 9.10 via the internet and after rebooting during installation it goes through the ubuntu (with the loading bar) page and then gets to a screen with a spinning cursor and it just hangs... running recovery mode to terminal and typing 'startx' works though... Help please? :) | 02:51 |
| hipitihop | Kayel, did you see my previous post before switch ? | 02:51 |
| Ganymede | Roasted, there's the mozilla daily PPA but it's not truly the released package for ff 3.6.0 | 02:51 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: cd /var/lib/dpkg | 02:51 |
| Kayel | hipitihop, no i doubt it. and no i'm using wep with a passphrase | 02:51 |
| seanbrystone | WTH? all my firefox exensions vanished? o.O | 02:51 |
| === mike is now known as Guest76044 | ||
| Roasted | Ganymede, well, I kind of want 3.6... | 02:51 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: cp -v status status.bak | 02:51 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: k, have rsi and no speech reco in linux. tend to take short cuts | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: find the firefox 3.6 'stable' ppa not daily build then | 02:52 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: roger. you can use tab completion to complete my nick | 02:52 |
| Roasted | GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHh | 02:52 |
| Ganymede | Roasted, i don't think you'll find a PPA for it...what i did was just download the tarball for mozilla's official site and untar it into your homedir, but then it's no longer handled by the package manager and i couldn't get flash to work with it...but it's the best you can do since the only PPA i know of is daily builds | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/ has a guide on installing ff3.6 stable and daily builds pps'a | 02:52 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: ok, have you made a copy of the 'status' file? | 02:52 |
| hipitihop | Kayel, do you actually see the AP listed in wicd ? | 02:52 |
| Roasted | I used this. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/firefox-36-stable-ubuntu-repository-ppa.html | 02:52 |
| === homer is now known as Guest9982 | ||
| Roasted | yet somehow Im still on 3.5.7 | 02:52 |
| Roasted | nice | 02:52 |
| lolhalplz | danbhfive: Did you get my reply? | 02:52 |
| FloodBot4 | Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:53 |
| Roasted | do I have to reboot, or just close my browser? | 02:53 |
| Kayel | hipitihop, yeah. signal strength and all. it even authenticates the password which i couldn't do under network manager (why i switched to wicd) | 02:53 |
| mdisieno | while in nautilus im not seeing the usual icon video previews i had in debian, is there a package im missing per chance? usually it shows a little screen cap from the movie in the icon, but its just a film reel | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/firefox-36-stable-ubuntu-repository-ppa.html | 02:53 |
| trism | Roasted: firefox-3.5 will still be the default, you will likely have to run firefox-3.6 from the command line, or find the codenamed version in Applications/Internet | 02:53 |
| Roasted | oh | 02:53 |
| Roasted | thats convenient | 02:53 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: yeah, but i don't know. Im playing with that testing app you pointed out. Have you tried configuring your card through network manager? | 02:53 |
| Roasted | <_< | 02:53 |
| amphi0n | if anyone's curious i just found this on google about setting up a free SMS daemon: http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/index.html | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm FF3.6 replaced FF3.5 here for me with that ppa. | 02:53 |
| amphi0n | me thinks it might work | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | the daily build was in the menus under some different name however. | 02:54 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, that is the EXACT guide I just followed. | 02:54 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: `status' -> `status-will-not-need' copied | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: it worked for me last night just fine. | 02:54 |
| Roasted | I just have to lcose FF and reopen it - right? | 02:54 |
| hipitihop | Kayel, ok that suggests the card and all are functioning ok... only thing I can think of is in wicd Advanced Settings there is a choice of driver | 02:54 |
| lolhalplz | danbhfive: Network Manager? Do you mean Network Connections? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: unless the fact i had the daily build befor i used the stable ppa - affected things | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: you want to close it befor you update/upgrade/change it i imagine - yes | 02:55 |
| danbhfive | lolhalplz: there should be a small icon on the top right bar of your screen | 02:55 |
| hipitihop | since you are using ndiswrapper, maybe you want to chose that rather then the default wext | 02:55 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: ok, now open up the status file in a text editor. then search on the following term --> Package: gnomine | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: the daily build did use a different Icon then the stable i recall. | 02:55 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, did that. Didnt work. 3.5.7. | 02:55 |
| hipitihop | Kayel, ^^^ | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: check menus in the internet section for a different icon/name then | 02:56 |
| Roasted | this is one of ubuntu's downfalls. I just want firefox 3.6. It's not that hard. | 02:56 |
| TeslaTony | This might not be the best channel for this, but my desktop started booting up, and either freezing before BIOS shows, or rebooting. Either way, it never gets to send a signal to the monitor. Last time I had this issue, the RAM was wrong, but I already double checked that, which means it's the mobo, PSU, or video card. ANy ideas? | 02:56 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: you will need to be running the text editor as root.. so use 'gksu' if you are starting up a graphical text editor | 02:56 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, I did. It doesnt exist. Just firefox web browser. | 02:56 |
| trism | Roasted: dpkg -L firefox-3.6 | grep /usr/bin | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: It worked fine for me. but i do tweak a lot of things. could be the menus havent refreshed | 02:56 |
| hipitihop | kayel, what driver do you have set there in advanced ? | 02:56 |
| queso | I am in Jaunty. Just 5 minutes ago I was auto-logged out of gnome for no apparent reason. I came back in and loaded up my programs again, and the exact same thing just happened. Any idea what's going on? I tried rebooting, that apparently didn't fix it. | 02:56 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: got it | 02:57 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, gonna reboot then. Hope this fixes it... | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: log out/back in | 02:57 |

| trism | Roasted: it isn't going to work with the youtube html5 test anyway, because firefox doesn't support H.264 yet and that is the only codec youtube is using | 03:00 |

| Losha | danbhfive: I don't think k3b will convert video formats, so it depends on what kind of movie files Guest59901 has.... | 03:05 |
| Roasted | Used this guide... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion and got this PPA: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable then just apt-get install firefox. auto removes 3.5 and adds 3.6 under a new name. | 03:05 |

| onetinsoldier | lampliter: what happens if you do.... sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends gnomine ...? | 03:06 |
| jolaren | I've installed ubuntu to a very small disc (2.5gig) now I want everything else that gets installed etc to go to annother disc, how do I do this?.. | 03:06 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: bother. well this is why I put all my data on /home. easy reinstall | 03:07 |
| pandemic187 | hi, quick question | 03:07 |
| Losha | jolaren: there's no easy way to do that, I'm afraid. Installers are pretty much free to put stuff where they like. The proper way to split an install over two disks is probably to use logical volume management, but it's complicated for a beginner... | 03:07 |
| onetinsoldier | wishe: hello | 03:07 |
| pandemic187 | how do i check whether i installed 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? | 03:07 |
| lampliter | yea, it is reinstall time | 03:07 |
| onetinsoldier | pandemic187: uname -m | 03:08 |
| jolaren | Losha; I see, thanks for the pointers. | 03:08 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: ok, roger. good luck | 03:08 |
| pandemic187 | onetinsoldier: is i686 64 bit? | 03:08 |
| wishe | http://pastebin.org/84761 | 03:08 |
| onetinsoldier | pandemic187: no | 03:08 |
| pandemic187 | it's 32? | 03:09 |
| onetinsoldier | pandemic187: yes | 03:09 |
| tweaksource | I'm running 8.04 and trying to upgrade to 9.04. sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found. Is this still the correct wayto upgrade? | 03:09 |
| pandemic187 | thanks onetinsoldier | 03:09 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: thanks. it is one more bit of life disaster | 03:09 |
| jolaren | Losha; Is it possible to move my current ubuntu installation to annother disc then? | 03:09 |
| onetinsoldier | pandemic187: you're welcome. here's the response if you install 64-bit --> x86_64 | 03:10 |
| wishe | something about the kernel not being built correctly .. i dont know | 03:10 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: since I'm rebuilding, maybe you might have an insite to this problem | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: that's, because 8.04 is a LTS release and by default it only shows other LTS as upgrade | 03:10 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: might be possible to slve the issue, if you want to keep showing me the error messages ;-) | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | tweaksource | 03:10 |
| ubottu | tweaksource: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 03:10 |
| pandemic187 | onetinsoldier: oh yeah, that makes sense. thanks. | 03:10 |
| MrBananas | hey guys im like a total linux noob. my original goal was to install multiple linux os | 03:10 |
| MrBananas | <MrBananas> i started with suse. the installation would crash after it completed then i owuldnt be able to load into anything. i solved this by disabling ACPI. that fixed the installation issue and allowed me to use suse. I then made another partition to start to install ubuntu 9.10. Well the installation kept failing and restarting my computer at random times, til i discovered i yet again had to disable ACPI. | 03:10 |
| MrBananas | <MrBananas> Well the installation was a success, but thereafter, i was not able to load into ubuntu. I tried from GRUB to load into the recovery mode, which i guess is like safe mode, but it would say, loading ACPI processor 0, fail. Loading ACPI processor 1, fail, and so on for my four cores. Any idea?? | 03:10 |
| FloodBot4 | MrBananas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:10 |
| tweaksource | So how do I upgrade to 9.04? | 03:10 |
| jolaren | sudo apt-get dist upgrade? | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: why do you want to upgrade to 9.04? | 03:11 |
| i3inary | does anyone know if ispconfig be the best hosting control panel for a dedicated server? | 03:11 |
| wishe | onetinsoldier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 this is what im trying to do and im having some trouble.. maybe you are able to help me out? | 03:11 |
| tweaksource | sebsebseb, To get my Canon mx700 working | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: What? that doesn't sound right, Canon aren't exactly Linux friendly | 03:11 |
| onetinsoldier | wishe: let me have a look | 03:11 |
| tweaksource | jolaren, sudo apt-get dist upgrade doesn't do it. | 03:12 |
| Losha | jolaren: generally yes. You can move the contents of the entire disk to another one. The main gotcha is you will have to do a manual grub-install after the move, so you can now boot from the new disk instead of the old one. | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: so if it doesn't work with 8.04, it probably won't in 9.04 or 9.10 either | 03:12 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: laptop boots to both linux and windows. I want to access a common data pool from both sides (/home) | 03:12 |
| MrBananas | hey guys im having problems installing linux os' without disabling ACPI first, any ideas? i need to disable it in ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10 and it only allows me to install it, but my system still crashes when i try and start the OS. | 03:12 |
| tweaksource | sebsebseb, Canon AU has linux drivers for it. Found several sets of instructions on the forums claiming it works in the "9" releases | 03:13 |
| onetinsoldier | lampliter: well, make sure you use ext3 filesystem when you install | 03:13 |
| par14h | How hard is it to download a distro on one computer and transfer it to another vis a USB drive? | 03:13 |

| MrBananas | ya i did | 03:13 |
| wishe | i installed partitionmanager through the package manager and apparently it was supposed to add a bootable partition manager to grub but i tried rebooting and there was nothing there | 03:13 |

| onetinsoldier | lampliter: i don't know how much i can help with that... | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: ok uhmm normalley I would just tell people to stay on 8.04 that have it at the moment, want to know why? | 03:13 |
| tweaksource | sebsebseb, GO ahead... | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: I mean stay on 8.04, untill 10.04, which they can then directly upgrade to since it's the next LTS, that's released end of April | 03:14 |
| lampliter | onetinsoldier: linux vm running on w7. it is almost like i need a mini-nfs server starting at boot time | 03:14 |
| Losha | jolaren: you use mkfs. Or better yet, use gparted (a gui partitioner) if you can, since you generally have to partition before you format... | 03:14 |
| tweaksource | sebsebseb, I am just trying to get an old machine running with the printer as a print server. My other machines are 8.04 | 03:14 |
| anto9us | par14h, unetbootin will do it easily | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: upgrading to 9.04, that should work no problem, but upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, might go wrong on you | 03:15 |
| playfirst | someone help mrbananas please. | 03:15 |
| MrBananas | i tried to load through grub ubuntu recovery, which i guesss is like safe mode, but it goes to load the cores of y processors in ACPI and then says they failed..... anyone know? | 03:15 |
| tweaksource | So, there's no way to upgrade from 8.04 LTS until 10.04??? That's crazy! | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: yes you can | 03:15 |
| tweaksource | sudo apt-get dist upgrade does not work. | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | tweaksource: you just got to get it showing non LTS releases | 03:16 |
| onetinsoldier | wishe: i can't help with forum post really. sorry. i thought you just wanted help getting the 'unetbootin' package installed | 03:16 |
| tweaksource | sebsebseb, Any idea how? | 03:16 |

| Hansard | sebsebseb: I mean 9.04 | 03:25 |

| Freds | image* | 03:27 |

| sebsebseb | Hansard: usueaully upgrades go fine as I already said, and if you want to stay a release or two behind, it's best to use the Long Term Support releases. Those releases can also be directly upgraded to whichever LTS comes next. | 03:29 |
| soreau | Freds: What about iwconfig? | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: 10.04 is the next LTS released at the end of April, and it's a good idea to get it soon after release | 03:30 |

| sebsebseb | Hansard: Three things that can be done. 1. try other log in screens 2.

Get hold of any data put on external hard disk or whatever, and re install | 03:36 |

| Hansard | sebsebseb: ok thank you | 03:36 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: I wonder if | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: well 9.10 gets GDM 2 | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: instead of the old one, maybe the laptop doesn't like it for whatever reason, or something went wrong when it came to the upgrade | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | with it | 03:37 |
| TLUL | In fact, about 50% of the time, Karmic will hang. It stops accessing the disk a second or two after showing the Ubuntu logo, and just sits there. The other 50% of the time, it only pauses for a second or two, then it continues accessing the disk, the WiFi light comes on, and it boots up normally. Any idea what's causing it? | 03:38 |
| Hansard | sebsebseb: what's the command to reinstall the gdm 2? | 03:38 |
| TLUL | ^while booting | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: well there are commands to stop and re start it, not sure about those though. How I would stop it being used is by installing another one, and telling it to use that. Then if I want the other screen back again, remoe the other screen and tell it to use that. | 03:39 |

| _Tristan | my themes have all disappeared from my preferences/appearance and my windows have reverted to raleigh. Can anybody help me? | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | Hansard: the old GDM is in the repo, but I think it's not as simple as just instaling it and using it. There's KDM, but that's the KDE one, so if no KDE stuff is already on there, quite a lot of KDE stuff will want to be installed. There's also xdm. | 03:41 |
| sebsebseb | _Tristan: there was someon earlier with a similar issue, or the same issue, unless that was you as well? | 03:41 |
| _Tristan | sebsebseb: that was me, you told me to restart, it did nothing but break my wireless. | 03:41 |
| TLUL | _Tristan: I would guess the wireless was unrelated. | 03:42 |
| Freds | how do i download the b43 driver? | 03:42 |

| Freds | what do you mean? | 04:09 |
| par14h | Greezmunkey, Yes, I am. It's an updated version fro 9.0x that I installed months ago. It was updated right out of install. Oddly enough, The USB adapter worked when I used NDISWrapper. Just not AFTER I updated. | 04:09 |
| Freds | i followed the alternative internet access bit | 04:09 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: that definitely has to be the problem | 04:09 |

| par14h | greezmunkey. Odd that that didn't occur to me before now. | 04:10 |

| greezmunkey | par14h, What chipset is the adapter? | 04:11 |

| par14h | greezmunkey, I'm sorry. I know brand, model, serial numbers and the MAC. How do I find Chipset information? | 04:13 |
| soreau | Freds: But if you read before that, it tells you to install b43-fwcutter from the cd. Basically, you go to sys>admin>software sources, uncheck everything except the cd, make sure the cd is in the drive, then run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 04:13 |
| greezmunkey | par14h, that info will do, please go ahead. | 04:13 |
| crdlb | nytek_: at least on karmic, you can just comment out the alsa audio_output section entirely and uncomment the pulse one below it | 04:13 |

| par14h | greezmunkey, It's connected and the ndiswrapper has the driver. | 04:16 |
| soreau | Freds: I would think not since it tells you to install it | 04:17 |

| nanotube | so when i use the 'scale' plugin on compiz (the mac expose-like one), it excludes the minimized windows from the display. any way to include them? or is that a design limitation? | 04:19 |

| par14h | greezmunkey - what am I looking for? | 04:19 |
| yellowhat89 | @ALL, how to add permission to "nobody" in ubuntu for mp3 files? | 04:19 |
| crdlb | nytek_: even with the sink and server lines commented? | 04:20 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: yup | 04:20 |

| Losha | yellowhat89: files have 3 kinds of permission usually: user (owner), group and 'other' (everyone else). Try setting 'everyone else' to allow read: chmod o+r *.mp3 | 04:21 |
| nanotube | !patience | H4xor3d | 04:21 |
| ubottu | H4xor3d: 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. | 04:21 |
| soreau | Freds: But if you read before that, it tells you to install b43-fwcutter from the cd. Basically, you go to sys>admin>software sources, uncheck everything except the cd, make sure the cd is in the drive, then run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 04:21 |

| yellowhat89 | @Losha: chmod: cannot access `*.mp3': No such file or directory | 04:25 |
| nanotube | H4xor3d: then just run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" | 04:26 |
| greezmunkey | par14h, Don't borrow trouble :) Copy and paste the output of syslog into a file and transfer it to you winbox, we'll take from there... | 04:26 |
| nanotube | H4xor3d: that will install the version from the ubuntu repos, which is 6-13-1... recent enough... :) | 04:26 |
| nanotube | H4xor3d: more info: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sun-java6-jdk | 04:26 |
| Losha | yellowhat89: which directory contains your mp3s? You need to cd there before you can do the chmod? | 04:26 |
| crdlb | nytek_: my guess would be that mpd didn't shut down properly; you could try sudo service mpd stop, then killing the mpd process if it is still running | 04:27 |
| H4xor3d | sun-java6-jdk is already the newest version. | 04:27 |
| H4xor3d | java version "1.6.0_0" | 04:27 |

| nanotube | H4xor3d: hrm that's strange - did you by any chance install some other java from somewhere else other than the ubuntu repos? | 04:28 |
| yellowhat89 | I think that it's mean all mp3 files, not only in spesific dir | 04:28 |
| nanotube | H4xor3d: because here on intrepid i'm getting "java version "1.6.0_14" and on karmic i'm getting "java version "1.6.0_15" so if you have jaunty, you shouldn't be getting 1.6.0_0... | 04:29 |

| JKemp | soreau: But when i use fixvesa it works in backtrack, but no way to type that in ubuntu since its not non-graphic startup like backtrack. | 04:38 |
| soreau | JKemp: If nomodeset doesn't help you can try using the vesa driver | 04:38 |

| LoopB4ck | TLUL, got option 2 | 04:55 |
| futurama140 | Bluel: i do have the right drivers installed, and i dont know what frequency my power is. | 04:55 |

| futurama140 | Bluel: yes. | 04:55 |

| Blue1 | futurama140: in the u.s. it is 60 hz if it's not set to that then that is your problem | 04:58 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: what version of the nvidia driver are you using? | 04:59 |
| futurama140 | Bluel: i cant change it to 60hz, before i installed the drivers it was 60hz, how can i change that? | 04:59 |
| futurama140 | Bluel: 185 i believe. the newest. | 04:59 |

| lolhalplz | I got the Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix, burnt to CD, ran the live CD, used USB Creator function to put on a usb, put usb in laptop, installed ubuntu to laptop. | 05:00 |
| ^Phantom^ | (PhantomLink here) | 05:00 |
| lolhalplz | laptop = netbook | 05:00 |
| lolhalplz | in my above post. | 05:00 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: so I used the 173 driver -- and it works fine -- also had problems with the 180 dirver | 05:01 |
| lolhalplz | help? | 05:01 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: but that's causing your flicker -- | 05:01 |
| message144 | If I rsync backup my drive and I have an account which is encrypted with ecryptfs, should I make my backup with the decrypted data or with the encrypted data? Any suggestions? | 05:01 |
| dumdidumdum | soreau: how can i do that? | 05:01 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: so i should install the 173 and try that? i had heard anything less than 180 wouldnt work with 9.10 | 05:01 |
| Blue1 | lolhalplz: you need to set up in your bios to boot off of a usb device | 05:01 |
| ^Phantom^ | I mean I am having a b**** of a time trying to back up my data that I want to keep | 05:02 |
| soreau | dumdidumdum: Try 1) Installing simple-ccsm 2) Select None, then the Custom radio button in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects | 05:02 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: ok im back. any ideas? | 05:02 |
| rpwiz | rpwizard1 | 05:02 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: I dunno YMMV (your mileage may vary) - It's worth trying the 180 driver once | 05:02 |
| crdlb | nytek_: did you see the link about urxvt? | 05:02 |
| ofosho | I am trying to install ubuntu netbook remix, but when i try to install the installer says that it cannout unmount /cdrom | 05:02 |

| nytek_ | crdlb: ill look | 05:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | I mean, it even restarts in the middle of me copying my files over to my backup drive. | 05:03 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: i may just try the 173. ill give that a shot and be back to let you know how it goes. | 05:03 |

| nytek_ | crdlb: wow, it just changed to my default sound card. now i can change to headphone output. | 05:06 |
| Blue1 | soreau: i do a sudo service gdm restart | 05:06 |
| soreau | CAPcap: Ok, here | 05:06 |
| crdlb | nytek_: are you using usb headphones? | 05:06 |
| Blue1 | lolhalplz: okay I thought you were having trouble booting the install usb drive | 05:06 |
| soreau | ! tty | CAPcap | 05:06 |
| ubottu | CAPcap: 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. | 05:06 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: nope | 05:06 |
| soreau | Blue1: stop and start work too, right? | 05:07 |
| soreau | CAPcap: Try it out. Just press Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7 again | 05:07 |
| Blue1 | soreau: oops sorry sudo /etc/init.d/gdm <start/stop/restart> | 05:07 |
| Losha | message144: hard to say: it depends on you hardware, and your skill level. Which is more important to you? Being able to recover the data after a disk failure, or having no-one able to read it without authorization under any circumstances? | 05:07 |
| soreau | Blue1: I thought it was the first command you posted, only in karmic | 05:07 |
| crdlb | nytek_: so what isn't working now? | 05:08 |
| Blue1 | soreau: but you can still do the same thing with sudo service | 05:08 |
| soreau | Blue1: ok | 05:08 |
| CAPcap | ok that brought me to a black sceen with some stuff and then back here. | 05:08 |
| dumdidumdum | soreau; thank you it worked | 05:08 |
| soreau | dumdidumdum: Cool :) | 05:08 |
| dumdidumdum | :) | 05:08 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: everything is working, but when i plug in the headphones i need to go into the sound options and changed the sound output to headphones | 05:08 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: should i reboot after installing the drivers? also, do you get the strange pixelation when trying to reboot or shut down, and if so, is there a fix for it? | 05:08 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: it's easier - yes reboot | 05:08 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: yeah the reboot should fix that... | 05:09 |
| ofosho | i am trying to install unr 9.10 on an asus eee pc, but the installer says that it cannot umount /cdrom in order to complete the install | 05:09 |
| message144 | Losha, Its of course a tough call, but I think recovering the data quickly is a priority. I suppose I will just need to store the drive in a safe place | 05:09 |
| CAPcap | soreau now what? | 05:09 |
| Blue1 | ofosho: did you md5sum the downloaded iso file? | 05:09 |
| Zylstra555 | can someone check this URL for me and tell me if it is working? www.zylblog.info | 05:10 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: all the drivers ive used so far have caused the weird pixel streaks on the screen which during that time the keyboard becomes unresponsive until i manually press the power button. | 05:10 |
| ofosho | i believe the partitioner is trying to install to the USB stick, not the HD | 05:10 |
| ofosho | the md5 is fine | 05:10 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: will reboot now, brb. | 05:10 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: it me be a peculiarity of your system | 05:10 |

| soreau | CAPcap: See my private message | 05:12 |
| Losha | message144: I understand. I think encrypting the data on an internet connected machine, or a stealable laptop is probably reasonable. For the secure backup, I'd go for accessibility and rely on keeping it in a safe place | 05:12 |
| Blue1 | nytek_: the problem with my netbook is the touch pad is too sensitive even at the lowest setting | 05:13 |
| slzar | is there a site with statistics about how many people use linux (and specifically ubuntu)? | 05:13 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Any issues using the Update manager to go from 8.10 to 9.04? | 05:13 |
| slzar | I hear so many numbers tossed aorund | 05:13 |
| crdlb | nytek_: you can emulate it by pressing left and right | 05:13 |
| nytek_ | Blue1: i have that problem too, but you will get use to it. are you new to the netbook style of touchpad | 05:13 |
| futurama140 | Blue1: i am back, and i just got this message when loading ubuntu: | 05:14 |

| c_nick | ^Phantom^: Boot from the CD select the live session - without installing to the m/c and there mount your HDDs which you want to use to transfer data.. and try .. | 05:18 |

| futurama140 | Blue1: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 05:19 |
| message144 | Losha, so you dont recommend backing up system files? Should I just stick to /var, /etc, and /home ? | 05:19 |
| dsnyders | zen_master_soso, All you have to do is ask your question and monitor the channel. Everybody looks like an idiot at one time or another. | 05:19 |

| zen_master_soso | what is chanserv? | 05:20 |
| Blue1 | c_nick: yes | 05:21 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: make a USB bootable disk | 05:21 |

| Losha | message144: there are a handful of files in /etc that I find useful to backup e.g. fstab, auto.master, exports etc. but unless your config is very unusual, only /home is irreplaceable. I don't even bother with /var | 05:22 |

| Blue1 | futurama140: okay let's try this -- go into System/Preferences/Display/(say no) | 05:25 |
| c_nick | so basically you dont really require Linux to read an ext3 HDD | 05:25 |

| c_nick | Ok i have a question .. i screwed up my path.. is there any way i can get back the default one | 05:26 |
| ^Phantom^ | I tried it on another windows computer and same thing | 05:26 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: try other s/w... i got one which was able to read | 05:27 |

| aleksej | Can I ask a stupid question? | 05:27 |
| Blue1 | aleksej: no charge go for it. | 05:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | I think it is probably because ubuntu is on an external drive, or do I need to unencrypt my home folder for it to work? | 05:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | Cause I've read that it won't work unless you unencrypt the home folder. | 05:28 |

| futurama140 | Blue1: ok, well thanks for the help though, im sure i'll either figure it out or someone around here will get a mental click from something i say and know exactly how to fix it from experience lol. its all about the mental "click" | 05:35 |
| nytek_ | Blue1: kk | 05:35 |
| Blue1 | futurama140: best of luck - sorry I couldn't be of better assistance | 05:36 |

| aleksej | Blue1: Which model of Acer Aspire? | 05:37 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: it's a good place to start - but hey ask questions - that's what we're here for - ru currently running windows? | 05:37 |
| === orion_ is now known as Guest14151 | ||

| nytek_ | Blue1: im having some trouble with my headphone jack | 05:37 |
| Blue1 | nytek_: I bought usb headphones... | 05:37 |
| nytek_ | Blue1: :( | 05:37 |
| rudolf_ | currently using windows...so i am totally a newbie | 05:38 |
| nytek_ | Blue1: you couldnt find a fix? | 05:38 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: you may want to start with wubi - it's linux that runs under windows | 05:38 |
| lavin | im having trouble hadding repo's do i just got to "software sources-other sources-add source-enter repo-reload" but nothing is happening | 05:38 |

| mkagan | Hi I'm having an issue reinstalling GRUB after windows wiped it out. I try running sudo grub from a live cd but it says its not installed | 05:38 |
| Blue1 | nytek_: naw wanted to use it on my desktop too | 05:38 |
| Blue1 | aleksej: let me look | 05:38 |
| bastid_raZor | !fixgrub | mkagan | 05:39 |
| ubottu | mkagan: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 05:39 |
| nytek_ | Blue1: my problem is that when i plug in my headphones it plays out both the speaker and the headphones | 05:39 |
| rudolf_ | blue1, i also have fedora and ubuntu DVDs.....are they not suitable for me? | 05:39 |
| aleksej | Blue1: At what? | 05:39 |
| Blue1 | aleksej: yeah it just says d250 on it... | 05:40 |
| aleksej | Blue1: It? | 05:40 |
| Blue1 | aleksej: I stupidly opted for 2 g of ram - god forbid I should ever use that much ram - the acer aspire - my netbook | 05:41 |

| Aboba | Anyone have any ideas why my wireless is capping out at about 60kB/sec on a fresh install of 9.10 when I was getting 800kB/sec+ on 9.04? | 05:42 |
| mkagan | bastid_raZor, so i take it its because im booting from a 9.10 cd? should i just boot from an 8.04 cd to run sudo grub? | 05:42 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: maybe you have to try it out | 05:42 |
| Skarpio | hi i have a problem with konversation, to open got an announcement that it had detected the sound hardware had been removed or something, I hit yes and now I hear no notice and if they are established, the sound hardware is properly connected, since all other pc sounds, music, videos can be heard to perfection ... someone can tell me how to configure the audio output to be used konversation? I use the gnome environment | 05:43 |
| airtonix | Aboba, no idea but : assume you are in control of the access point ? | 05:43 |
| Aboba | airtonix, correct | 05:43 |
| Blue1 | Aboba: what type of wireless card? | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: i'm not certain if this is what you're looking for, but try here... System - Preferences --> Startup Applications --> Options tab | 05:43 |
| Aboba | Blue1, PCI using rtl8180 driver | 05:44 |
| jumbers | onetinsoldier: Well, I clicked that button and now it remembers the same applications every time | 05:44 |
| tomatoes7 | what up geoff918? | 05:44 |
| mkagan | anyone, is there a reason why grub isnt installed on a 9.10 live cd? | 05:44 |
| Blue1 | Aboba: good support for that - dunno -- I had problems with my wireless on my netbook - had to backport | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: do you have the option 'Automatically remember running applications when logging out' checked? | 05:45 |
| nyaa | awlright! I'm starting to build a computer and I want it to be compatible with at least ubuntu and maybe redhat too, where should I look? | 05:45 |
| tomatoes7 | i got grub installed on my system from the 9.10 cd | 05:45 |
| === Guest14151 is now known as egrep | ||
| bastid_raZor | mkagan: did you check the link ubottu sent you? | 05:45 |
| ^Phantom^ | k i'll try after this batch of files fin= | 05:45 |
| jumbers | onetinsoldier: It's currently unchecked. It remembers what was running when I clicked that button about a week ago | 05:45 |
| mkagan | tomatoes7, were you able to run sudo grub from a terminal while running a 9.10 livecd | 05:45 |
| Blue1 | mkagan: the idea is that you can't mess up your install with the livecd | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: roger. hmmm, i'm not sure. i'll try to look a little more though | 05:46 |
| Aboba | Blue1, Thanks | 05:46 |
| ^Phantom^ | OMG OMG OMG I was not remembering right. It was my 8GB SD card that got stoled, not my 8GB flash driv | 05:47 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: you can use what ever distro you like but wubi is a version of linux that runs under windows -- so you don't have to do anything complicated | 05:47 |
| pauloricardoas | hi people | 05:47 |
| indus | an installer | 05:47 |
| rudolf_ | okies | 05:47 |
| indus | not a version | 05:48 |
| rudolf_ | i am going to download it now | 05:48 |
| * ^Phantom^ hurries and copies the contents of the flash drive to this computer so he can make a live stick with it | 05:48 | |
| AK|laptop | Anybody know of a Zork client for Linux? I'm searching around and can't find one. | 05:48 |
| mkagan | bastid_raZor, it seems that in order to keep both bootloaders (i.e. dualboot) i need to run grub from a live cd | 05:48 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: do you need the link for wubi? | 05:48 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: what about the 'Startup Programs' tab on that same little preference app i had you pull up. does your app show up in that tab? | 05:48 |
| mkagan | which is what i cant seem to do as it is not there | 05:48 |
| littlegirl | Hey there, my son just installed Karmic Koala 9.10 and is looking at gnome-look.org for themes. He wants to know if he should use gtk 1.x or gtk 2.x themes. Is there a way to tell which gtk Ubuntu uses? | 05:48 |
| rudolf_ | yeah. | 05:48 |
| CAPcap | how do i make the grub2 menu open each time my computer boots? | 05:48 |
| rudolf_ | give me please | 05:48 |
| bastid_raZor | mkagan: you're not reading the page.. i do not see 'sudo grub' anywhere on the page linked | 05:48 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: hang just a sec | 05:48 |
| indus | littlegirl, doesnt really matter i think | 05:48 |
| rudolf_ | k | 05:48 |
| jumbers | onetinsoldier: Negative | 05:48 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: darn. roger | 05:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | I just happened to have downloaded the 9.10 livecd before the restart thing began, so I'll make a livestick with it and see if it also restarts without notice. | 05:49 |
| littlegirl | indus: I hope not, but is there a way to find out if it does? | 05:49 |
| indus | littlegirl, i think it only says that the theme used to come with older gtk | 05:49 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: http://wubi-installer.org/ | 05:49 |
| indus | littlegirl, but just for info, ubuntu uses gtk 2 | 05:49 |
| mkagan | bastid_raZor, under "preserving WIndows Bootloader" which is what I am trying to do | 05:49 |
| jumbers | onetinsoldier: If all else fails, I'll close everything and click the button again | 05:49 |
| rudolf_ | thanx | 05:49 |
| tomatoes7 | geoff918, give me a sign that you are alive | 05:49 |
| onetinsoldier | jumbers: good luck | 05:49 |
| indus | littlegirl, well,just drag and drop the theme,and if it doesnt install ,its the wrong theme | 05:50 |
| Geoff918 | I'm here | 05:50 |
| Blue1 | rudolf_: if you have questions - come back | 05:50 |
| rudolf_ | sure | 05:50 |
| Ganymede | looks like karmic uses gtk 2.18.3 | 05:50 |
| tomatoes7 | thank god | 05:50 |
| littlegirl | indus: Thanks, hehe, that's a good way to find out. (: | 05:50 |
| littlegirl | Ganymede: How did you find out? | 05:50 |
| * littlegirl uses Kubuntu. | 05:50 | |
| littlegirl | This is our first time with Ubuntu, and he's checking it out before me. (: | 05:51 |
| ^Phantom^ | c_nick: is there any way to make just a livecd partition on a usb stick? | 05:51 |
| rudolf_ | blue1, the link you gave is reported to be broken | 05:51 |
| mkagan | bastid_raZor, it says "Type grub which makes a GRUB prompt appear". When I do it on a 9.10 livecd it says it needs to be installed | 05:51 |
| tomatoes7 | when does 10.4 get officially released? | 05:51 |
| ^Phantom^ | c_nick: ...or is it better to just use the entire stick? | 05:51 |
| Geoff918 | April 29th, 2010 | 05:51 |
| Aboba | What is the 9.10 equivilent of the 8.10 /grub/menu.lst? | 05:51 |
| nyaa | what's a good place to see if ubuntu is compatible with certain motherboards etc? | 05:51 |
| indus | nyaa, this is , but ubuntu works with almost all boards | 05:52 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: usually its the entire stick | 05:52 |
| littlegirl | nyaa: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 05:52 |
| Geoff918 | Aboba: there really isn't an equivalent. What are you trying to accomplish? there are some items in a directory that have codes as to their precedence. If you want to turn something off, you can do so there with a chmod -x type command. | 05:52 |
| nyaa | indus well I'm starting to plan out a desktop for moderate gaming and a ton of stupid experiments, I want to make sure it works well. is there a recommended board or? oh. | 05:52 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | Aboba | 05:52 |
| ubottu | Aboba: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 05:52 |
| indus | nyaa, anything is recommended as far as its a good name brand | 05:53 |
| airtonix | Aboba, just out of interests sake i looked in the directory : /etc/grub.d/ | 05:53 |
| Aboba | Geoff918, I'm trying to add pci=nomsi to my boot automatically, since it is required to detect my sata hard drive | 05:53 |
| bastid_raZor | mkagan: are you missing the previous step? | 05:53 |
| littlegirl | indus: Anything but the ASRock K10N78M board which my son just installed. Apparently that board will not let him set up a static IP for his life. | 05:54 |
| indus | littlegirl, thats not a board problem really | 05:54 |
| airtonix | Aboba, the file : /etc/grub.d/xx_custom might interst you (replace xx with some unique number) | 05:54 |
| littlegirl | indus: It's got built in ethernet. | 05:54 |
| Geoff918 | Aboba: okay I'd have to research that one for you. The configuration is done automatically by the "update-grub" command. The output you'll see in the grub.cfg file or whatever it is (granted, I'm going off memory not having worked with it for some months) | 05:54 |
| ^Phantom^ | c_nick: k thx, i'll move the data off of it real quick...also I just noticed upon my second look at the image that it's a xubuntu 9.10 session...will that still work for what I want to do? | 05:54 |
| Aboba | airtonix, yea I was just looking through those | 05:54 |
| mkagan | bastid_raZor, the one that says boot from a cd? | 05:55 |
| c_nick | yeah sure | 05:55 |
| c_nick | Xubuntu Ubuntu Kubuntu all are nearly the same | 05:55 |
| lolhalplz | Hey guys. | 05:55 |
| LuksPartition | is 30c, or 86f a good temp for a hard-drive on ubuntu server? | 05:55 |
| lolhalplz | Just wanted to say my problems are solved. | 05:55 |
| c_nick | all you need is to backup your data.. just concentrate on that :) | 05:55 |
| lolhalplz | Bye. | 05:55 |
| airtonix | Aboba, looks fairly interesting to be honest... the whole setup seems to provide alot more oppurtunity for intersting things | 05:55 |
| c_nick | then you can play around figuring whats what | 05:55 |
| c_nick | Best of Luck | 05:56 |
| airtonix | c_nick, you talking to someone in particular ? | 05:56 |

| * airtonix wonders about the percentage of neglected support requests due to the difficulty of tracing a conversation | 05:57 | |
| Aboba | Geoff918, You have to update the files in /etc/grub.d/ then run update-grub to rebuild your grub.cfg file | 05:58 |
| ^Phantom^ | liveusb is faster, though, isn't it? | 05:58 |
| Geoff918 | Aboba: that's true, yeah | 05:58 |
| ^Phantom^ | oh sweet i have a 9.10 livecd | 05:59 |
| * ^Phantom^ tries it | 05:59 | |
| ^Phantom^ | c_nick: i have a bucket full of burned cds that i just toss them into when i'm done using them, and it has like 50 or so in it | 06:00 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: I think USB is faster.. but it should not make like a hugh difference.. | 06:00 |
| c_nick | ^Phantom^: ok i hope u find what u r looking for in that bucket of urs | 06:01 |
| rww | LiveUSB is much faster than LiveCD for me. | 06:02 |
| ^Phantom^ | c_nick: ...and the 7th cd i pulled out is a live 9.10 i made to try installing on an old dell, but the old dell sucks and it didn't work so i just tossed the cd in there. i hope it works | 06:02 |
| Geoff918 | LiveUSB is WAY faster for me | 06:02 |
| paissad | if i want not to upgrade anymore the kernel, which action should i do ? .. echo "linux-image-generic hold" | dpkg --set-selections OR echo "linux-image-generic-2.6.31-17 hold" | dpkg --set-selections ? | 06:03 |

| Out_Cold | LuksPartition, my tower box has 3 fans... 2 in/out 1 cpu | 06:06 |
| onetinsoldier | paissad: probably both. you'll have to figure that out ;-) | 06:07 |
| LuksPartition | Out_Cold: this machine has drives screwed in where the cd/dvd used to be so I put a fan in the front, not blowing on the disks but venting, and it seems to be working really well so far. | 06:07 |
| Geoff918 | paissad: the generic is just the meta-package | 06:07 |
| Out_Cold | LuksPartition, with 30C i'd say so | 06:07 |
| paissad | Geoff918, and then ? ... i should block the linux-image-$version-generic ? | 06:07 |
| Geoff918 | paissad: I'd just try both, the kernel should still be there regardless of update. It shouldn't just delete old kernels | 06:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | ooh that 9.10 loading bar is kinda cool looking :D | 06:08 |
| LuksPartition | Out_Cold: yea, thats what hddtemp is telling me about the sata disk, its saying the ide has no sensor which im not sure if it does or not. | 06:08 |
| Geoff918 | paissad: you may as well it really shouldn't hurt anything | 06:08 |
| paissad | Geoff918, i did delete old kernels already, but i just don't want to upgrade anymore ! :) | 06:08 |
| Out_Cold | LuksPartition, i remember an old windows app that used ide temp guages so i am pretty sure they are implemented. | 06:08 |
| CAPcap | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?! | 06:09 |
| CAPcap | how do i save and exit after that? | 06:09 |
| Geoff918 | paissad: well, you're going about it correctly. You can do the pinning option, or you could just make sure you're not selecting the kernel packages on upgrade manually (I know, far less elegant) | 06:09 |
| LuksPartition | Out_Cold: oh yea, hddtemp will show the temp of an ide drive, its just whether or not it has a sensor, and if it does whether or not the drive is in the database for hddtemp. | 06:09 |

| Geoff918 | rwhr: If you're looking for a good database setup, perhaps PostgreSQL? Of course, OpenOffice.org has Base which uses HSQL if you use the native server in it | 06:22 |
| Out_Cold | rwhr, excel sheets work in open office, but you can create your own... or maybe find something that uses SQL | 06:22 |
| ^Phantom^ | That person is always getting the excess flood thing. I'll bet they're trying to spam somewhere... | 06:22 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, should i do a dpkg --remove packagename ? | 06:22 |
| ^Phantom^ | OH OH OH I now know that it's not my ubuntu install that's doing the restarts!!!! It just restarted while I was in the livecd session! I'm gonna pull out that internal drive and see if maybe that is what's making the system restart like it does. | 06:22 |
| nomnex | DaZ, Nice, thanks | 06:23 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, don't know. sorry. | 06:23 |
| rwhr | I'm not really up to speed in making a database which is why I thought that I'd try to find one already made. | 06:23 |
| rww | ^Phantom^: or they're trying to join channels too quickly, which is much more likey. | 06:23 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, I'm going to have to dig into that soon, but I'm not looking forward to it. | 06:23 |
| gheddy_zarc | what does hal do in ubuntu ? like with usb switches and dialers etc | 06:24 |
| Out_Cold | there are irc scripts that auto-join when kicked/booted, maybe they are at work and it was left on.. | 06:24 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, how do i generally solve apt errors? | 06:24 |
| Geoff918 | rwhr: Ah, okay. What sort of functionality do you need for basic stock control? Check-in, check-out? date-in, date-out? | 06:24 |
| c_nick | even though i try to set the path via my Makefile.. it echos it on the terminal but does not properly set the path | 06:24 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, Wow. that's a BIG question, dontcha think? | 06:25 |
| Out_Cold | nascentmind, /join #ubuntu :p | 06:25 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: everything is working perfect now :D | 06:25 |
| nytek_ | crdlb: thanks again | 06:25 |
| phong_ | i'm having trouble.... | 06:25 |
| phong_ | i can't boot windows anymoer | 06:25 |
| rwhr | Just ID, Description, Stock Number, Supplier - Purchase price and sell price would be a bonus. And of course the ability to add and subtract stock. I'm half tempted to make a spreadsheet instead, it's just the reporting flexibility that I find nice in the databases. | 06:25 |
| phong_ | how to fix my boot grub | 06:26 |
| Out_Cold | !grub | 06:26 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 06:26 |
| Geoff918 | rwhr: that would be easy to do with a spreadsheet. Honestly, for something that basic, a single table in OOo Base would do fine | 06:26 |
| phong_ | i have 1 hd and 2 partitions | 06:26 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, My current adobe flash problem has to do with the repository not being added correctly. it can't find the right package, even though the repository is listed! ARGHH! Wish I could help you more. | 06:26 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, oh i thought your adobe plugin was not working fine on your browser :) | 06:27 |
| Geoff918 | rwhr: You wouldn't even need a relational database, though the ability to have a table listing the supplier's names and details could be really nice. | 06:27 |
| phong_ | let say i have 1 hd of 250GB, 150 GB is for windows .....the remainning is swap area , / and /home ......why now that it boot into grub....when i select windows 7 from the list nothing boot | 06:27 |
| phong_ | please help | 06:27 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, that is correct. But the browser plugin is still installed from a repository | 06:27 |
| sjohnson | Q: how do I find out if i'm running 64bit, or 32-bit Ubuntu? | 06:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | Is it at all possible that it's that failing internal hard drive that's causing the random restarts? | 06:28 |
| blakkheim | sjohnson: uname -m | 06:28 |
| sjohnson | blakkheim: says i686 | 06:28 |
| blakkheim | sjohnson: 32 | 06:28 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, did you download the .deb file, or are you installing from the repository over the internet? | 06:28 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, yes got that. but i thought yours was not a repo problem | 06:28 |
| rwhr | OK, thanks... I'll try that and if all else fails I'll be back... As for the suppliers name, etc, I could always link that to another tab, etc... Thanks Geoff918 and Out_Cold - Sorry I can't reply the way you do, I was under the impression that I could type in the start of your alias and then press [Tab] but that didn't work... | 06:28 |
| sjohnson | blakkheim: thanks | 06:28 |
| Geoff918 | rwhr: You might try to set-up something basic in Base just because the whole interface is really intuitive and easy. You don't really need to understand anything about DBs in order to make one on the level you're talking about. Queries are easily pulled in the same manner (graphically) | 06:28 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, mine is a repo problem. | 06:29 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, it was installed previously. somehow when i did an upgrade everything worked fine except this. now i can't use the repo to install other packages until i fix this. | 06:29 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, i just want to yank this out of my repo. i can live without flash | 06:29 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, you can't use the repo? Why? is your sources.list messed up? | 06:29 |
| TimReichhart | can somebody tell me how to update : DBI_DRIVER | 06:29 |
| phong_ | helppppppppp | 06:29 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, it gives the error as i showed above | 06:29 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, I din't see that error | 06:30 |
| Out_Cold | rwhr, the tab completion is client dependant. pidgin doesn't use it | 06:30 |
| rwhr | Looks like ChatZilla doesn't either LOL | 06:31 |
| SolarisBoy | my pidgin does it for xmpp | 06:31 |
| Geoff918 | Out_Cold: Apparently Empathy does. Didn't know that one, but it's nice to know the tools I love on the CLI are available to me here :) | 06:31 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 06:32 |
| rwhr | Thanks again all, have fun with Ubuntu, I am :) | 06:32 |
| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, ouch! | 06:32 |
| ^Phantom^ | oh, i just thought of something | 06:32 |
| TimReichhart | can somebody tell me how to update : DBI_DRIVER anybody? | 06:32 |
| holyguyver | I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. | 06:32 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, yes. sigh! | 06:33 |
| Out_Cold | Geoff918, tools carried over make irc a real treat for some... i know a lot of irc bots that use cli style commands | 06:33 |
| nascentmind | zen_master_soso, the only option is to do a dpkg --remove i guess | 06:33 |

| zen_master_soso | nascentmind, back at you. I felt the same way. mine was a horribly screwed up X. | 06:34 |

| ^Phantom^ | Geoff918: i've been using the same port to boot ubuntu since october 2008, maybe that port is wearing out? | 06:36 |
| ^Phantom^ | i'm gonna try booting with it in a different port | 06:36 |
| holyguyver | !sound | 06:37 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:37 |
| zen_master_soso | ^Phantom^, ports last 10 years or more before wearing out | 06:37 |
| Geoff918 | ^Phantom^: Well, it could be that, yes. I just saw someone's USB port go down recently | 06:37 |
| ^Phantom^ | or maybe it's this battery? | 06:37 |
| zen_master_soso | I change my ssh port every few months. | 06:37 |
| holyguyver | Fine then ubottu is my only helper | 06:37 |
| ^Phantom^ | linux tells me it may be old or broken every time it boots up | 06:37 |
| Geoff918 | zen_master_soso: Well, an old HP of a friend of mine had a USB port die recently | 06:38 |
| LuksPartition | if fsck says: recovering journal /dev/sda1: clean, 9423/19537920 files, 32231901/78142549 blocks mean fsck found anything wrong with the filesystem or no? | 06:38 |
| faileas | nope | 06:39 |
| zen_master_soso | LuksPartition, looks like a no | 06:39 |
| ^Phantom^ | maybe there's something the battery is doing that is shorting it out and causing the restarts? | 06:39 |
| LuksPartition | zen_master_soso: aight thanks | 06:39 |
| [J]ustin | !java | [J]ustin | 06:39 |
| ubottu | [J]ustin, please see my private message | 06:39 |
| zen_master_soso | absolute newbie IRC question: how do you gracefully leave a channel (without CONNECTION_RESET, or "Client Quit")? | 06:39 |
| ^Phantom^ | it's a battery from another laptop that is the same model, and i don't recall the system ever restarting unannounced before swapping the two | 06:40 |
| Geoff918 | ^Phantom^: well, you're on a laptop I would assume then. Have you tried it plugged in constantly and see if the problem persists? | 06:40 |
| kinja-sheep | zen_master_soso: /part #ubuntu | 06:40 |
| ^Phantom^ | it's always plugged in | 06:40 |
| zen_master_soso | kinja-sheep, thanks. is there a way to set a parting message? | 06:41 |
| kinja-sheep | zen_master_soso: /part #ubuntu Only if I have spent all of that money on the ropes instead | 06:41 |
| faileas | lol | 06:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | Geoff918: ...especially since the inverter went bad and i am stuck using an external monitor now | 06:41 |
| Geoff918 | ^Phantom^: Okay. Well, the battery shouldn't much matter then. Some laptops do require the battery, but others don't. My laptops don't care if the battery is in unless I pull the plug (obviously) | 06:41 |
| kinja-sheep | zen_master_soso: Some IRC clients allows you to use parting messages (by default) on settings. | 06:42 |
| zen_master_soso | kinja-sheep, just installed xchat an hour ago | 06:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | well, i'm running with the hdd in a different port now. | 06:43 |
| [J]ustin | Whats a good IRC client? | 06:43 |
| zen_master_soso | it's been a long time on IRC. I used to have a roommate that was addicted to mIRC. back in the day.... | 06:43 |
| DNS777 | [J]ustin: konversation or kvirc | 06:44 |
| kinja-sheep | [J]ustin: Irssi, weechat, Xchat, mIRC, Pidgin, Freenode Web-Based, Mibbit. | 06:44 |
| DNS777 | [J]ustin: in my opinion ;) | 06:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | i'll keep an eye on the thing and see if it restarts itself while i'm on the different port | 06:44 |
| faileas | [J]ustin: lostirc, konversation, xchat, irssi | 06:44 |
| [J]ustin | XChat looks good | 06:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | thank you guys for putting up with me for however many hours i've been in here crying and complaining about my problem | 06:44 |
| Geoff918 | ^Phantom^: it sounds a reasonable test | 06:44 |
| faileas | xchat is the ubuntu default ;) | 06:44 |
| holyguyver | I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. | 06:45 |
| ^Phantom^ | i'm glad it's not the ubuntu install | 06:45 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again? | 06:45 |
| ^Phantom^ | when i get a new laptop in the future, i can just plug this drive into it and boot and run ubuntu on there, right? | 06:45 |
| holyguyver | Yes I have tried restarting pulse | 06:45 |
| nytek_ | faileas: irssi should be the ubuntu default :) | 06:46 |
| faileas | lol | 06:46 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, Yes I have tried restarting pulse | 06:46 |
| faileas | nytek_: cli is not for everyone | 06:46 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, that was a sort of tongue-in-cheek question | 06:46 |

| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, so are you going to try & help me? | 06:47 |
| nytek_ | faileas: im actually thinking about moving strictly to a tiling wm | 06:47 |

| Jonathan_Glam | Hi. I'm currently (trying) to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my comp as dual boot (I have Windows 7 already installed). I initially made it so that I have two seperate partitions, one for windows and one planned for Ubuntu. I haven't touched that Ubuntu partition (ie: not formated or anything. Completely blank). When trying to install Ubuntu into that parition I get the following message: 'No root... | 06:51 |
| Jonathan_Glam | ...file system defined. Please correct'. How could I go about doing this? Is there a good online guide? Thanks | 06:51 |
| Geoff918 | ^Phantom^: Good, good. It's late where I am, I've got to get to bed. I hope this works out for you. :) | 06:51 |
| nytek_ | faileas: but, if i had a desktop, i would definitely run gnome or kde | 06:51 |
| nytek_ | faileas: :) | 06:51 |
| Duskao | can anyone help me install kde-cdemu from kde-apps.org? | 06:51 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, I usually have a dual-boot win/linux setup. Can you boot into another os and check it? How about the live CD? | 06:51 |
| Duskao | http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE+CDEmu+Manager?content=99752 | 06:51 |
| Duskao | I know I'm talking about kubuntu stuff, but the #kubuntu seems to be AFK | 06:52 |
| holyguyver | No I cannot boot into a differant OS I have been using Linux as my only OS for the past 6 years (but only owned this computer for 2 years) | 06:52 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, You can't boot your computer from your hard drive until you have finished the ubuntu install | 06:52 |
| faileas | nytek_: 'spare' box is a Pentium M banias 1.5. 256mb ram, 4 gb flashdrive for boot. most netbooks are more powerful. | 06:52 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, No I cannot boot into a differant OS I have been using Linux as my only OS for the past 6 years (but only owned this computer for 2 years) | 06:52 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, seriously, try booting from a cd/ | 06:52 |

| faileas | nytek_: lol. my server is a piii 450 | 06:53 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, so you are suggesting ym soundcard may have died? | 06:53 |
| faileas | 640 mb ram | 06:53 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: I cancelled the install process to switch to Windows to ask about this. I won't let me install at all. Says I have to define the root file system. How do I do that? | 06:53 |
| nytek_ | faileas: lol, i have a lenovo s10e netbook and a acer aspire 5100. | 06:53 |
| faileas | could run kde or gnome if i swapped the video card i think | 06:53 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, at least rule out hardware problems. it could be something as simple as cleaning the card edge connector. | 06:53 |
| nytek_ | faileas: my acer is running win7 for horrible vb programming. damn university | 06:53 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, I no nothing about hardware, I am a software guy only. | 06:54 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, you're saying that the install CD won't run at all? | 06:54 |
| Duskao | change your bios so it boots to cd first. | 06:54 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, I don't even exactly know what a soundcard is physicalled, I only know what it is software wise. | 06:55 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, well, if it works with the Ubunjtu LiveCD, then you know for sure that you don't have a hardware problem | 06:55 |
| amites | Is there anyway to revert packages after running upgrade all through the synaptic package manager? | 06:55 |

| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: No not at all. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. What I'm say is that when I try to install it (I go through the steps) and I ask it to install to that seperate parition that I have left for the intention of Ubuntu it asks me to have defined the root file system. How do I do so? | 06:55 |
| turtle^s0up | hi all | 06:55 |
| Duskao | please is there anyone that can help me? | 06:55 |
| turtle^s0up | is the Kubuntu plasma indicator widget important? can i remove it and have KDE's notification applet do it's job? | 06:55 |
| nytek_ | faileas: lol, i love the fact that unix is still going strong. the community keeps it alive. | 06:55 |
| amites | Duskao: asking intelligent questions is 90% of the answer | 06:56 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, lets pretend that we know it is not a failed soundcard, can you simply tell me to bash script to have it re-load my soundcards? | 06:56 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, This is a dual boot system which will still boot into Windows? | 06:56 |
| Duskao | can anyone help me install kde-cdemu from kde-apps.org? | 06:56 |

| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, no, I'm sorry but I don't know. | 06:56 |
| nytek_ | faileas: and everything that is done for these machines are done for free! open source ftw! | 06:56 |
| Duskao | amites how is my question not intelligent? I'm new to cmake/make stuff and would like help with it. | 06:56 |
| nytek_ | Duskao: it has instructions, follow them. | 06:57 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: Not yet. I am yet to install Ubuntu. I have Windows7 running and I have a seperate partition created into which I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 (so that it doesn't overide my Windows install that I need for some specific work jobs) | 06:57 |

| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, I do not know what the problem was, but the salution was "sudo alsa force-reload | 06:58 |
| holyguyver | " | 06:58 |
| Duskao | turtle, yeah I already have the cdemu ppa in my repos, just trying to get the gui up and running, and getting errors. | 06:58 |
| holyguyver | zen_master_soso, I tried every bash cammand until I found one that wrked :p | 06:59 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, the partition manager should do the trick at that point in the install. | 06:59 |
| Duskao | one sec, I'll have it up | 06:59 |
| becker_11 | how do I know where in the /dev folder my digital camera would be located ?? please | 06:59 |
| amites | Duskao: my apologies, haven't been in this room to long | 06:59 |
| zen_master_soso | holyguyver, that's a good fix. nice to know that alsa has a "force-reload" command | 07:00 |

| Duskao | that could be the problem, I don't believe I do | 07:02 |

| zen_master_soso | I'm gettting too used to being able to fix annoyances on my favorite websites using Stylist. Fluxbox is incredibly easy to style. How do you get started styling gnome? | 07:03 |

I've work with Vb3-vb6 and some .net(not much tbh) some very minor java stuff, to much php(is there such a thing) and if anyone remembers Clarion I used to build DB apps in it. So anyone got an idea of an IDE or some set of tools that I could start learning to develop visual applications for linux w | 07:09 |

| Diverdude | It happens more and more often that my ubuntu system breaks down...like it is decaying.... What happens is that the window-decorator fails, so that i cannot move any of my windows. In order to fix it i have to open a terminal and run > gtk-window-decorator --replace& and then it works fine again....This is however really annoying, and i dont know why it happens...it just happens now and then...and the frequency for the event increases i think. What mi | 07:13 |
| Diverdude | ght be wrong with my system? | 07:13 |
| kinja-sheep | chakrit: iirc desktop-switcher was broken. | 07:13 |
| airtonix | [J]ustin, just so you are aware ... vnc alone wont let you transfer and work with files locally | 07:14 |
| chakrit | kinja-sheep: and no longer available in 9.10 .. yup | 07:14 |
| [J]ustin | I just need to be able to view the desktop | 07:14 |
| kinja-sheep | chakrit: I'd suggest for you to decide which layout you want and stick with it. | 07:14 |
| zen_master_soso | [J]ustin, x11vnc does it for me | 07:14 |

| Duskao | turtle^s0up: how would I do that, is there a command for it? | 07:17 |
| [J]ustin | No thanks. Im not opening the VNC port | 07:17 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: run "apt-file search FindKDE4.make" | 07:17 |

| Diverdude | xangua, aha i see...is that the reason? | 07:18 |

| Jonathan_Glam | Hi. I'm still having a problem with installing ubuntu dual boot. When installing, if I try change the partition I'm installing into, what do I do for the following options: Use as? (do I do ext4), Mount Port? and should i format even if it has nothing on it | 07:20 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: it just returned nothing. | 07:20 |
| Diverdude | xangua, ? | 07:20 |
| rileyp | how can I disable mouse during suspend suspend works fine | 07:20 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: same as pressing "enter" | 07:20 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point ; | 07:20 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point / | 07:21 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, use ReiserFS. | 07:21 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: that means you don't have the dependency | 07:21 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point / , and if you have one more partition, you can also use /home as another mount point | 07:21 |
| rileyp | mouse is getting knocked during suspend and waking pc | 07:21 |
| Duskao | so the dependency is FindKDE4.make? | 07:21 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, ext3 and ext 4 are the default file systems for ubuntu | 07:21 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: it's Ubuntu 9.10. Isn't Ext4 meant to be better? I have other paritions for Windows | 07:21 |
| zen_master_soso | If I was doing a clean install, I'd use ReiserFS instead of ext3 - especially if you need the disk space. | 07:21 |
| zen_master_soso | etx3 is the default. | 07:21 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, yes suere you can use ext4 | 07:21 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: so the dependency is FindKDE4.make? | 07:22 |
| rileyp | i need usb0 enabled so remote can wake pc | 07:22 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: it's not a fresh install dual book | 07:22 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: ok. so just to reiterate: Ext4 as the file system and mount point / if that is where I want all of Ubuntu to be installed into? | 07:22 |
| nomad77 | bullgard: try checking your browser cache,maybe? | 07:22 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, it's fresh Ubuntu on an existing Windows machine, no? | 07:22 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam,i hope that partition is empty | 07:22 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: yes | 07:22 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: yes it's a seperate hard drive (physically) and I left it as such specifically to install Ubuntu later | 07:23 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: install "cmake-data" | 07:23 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: when installing windows I made sure it didn't install it at all | 07:23 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, do you have another empty partition created? then you can do two mount points, / and /home | 07:23 |
| bullgard | nomad77: For what should I check it? | 07:23 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: it seems like that's where your missing dependency is at | 07:23 |
| rileyp | and another for .swap | 07:23 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: already got it.... | 07:23 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, /home on separate partition is good idea in case you need to recover stuff in case of a crash | 07:23 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: No. I just have one other partition made. It's huge (60gig) so I'm looking ot have all of ubuntu into it | 07:24 |
| skdud | i dont know what you guys have against microsoft, when you use their software you accomplish the impossible every day | 07:24 |
| nomad77 | bullgard: your bug-report?,maybe i misunderstood. | 07:24 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam,ok no problem, just use / and dont forget swap | 07:24 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: but can i have them all together? Because i sync online anyway, so crash isn't to bad (just a pain) | 07:24 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, the Ubuntu installer is not going to wipe your Windows partition unless you tell it to. It will tell you which partitions it will format, so you have a last chance to double check. | 07:24 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: what's the swap? | 07:24 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, /swap is compulsory | 07:24 |
| bullgard | nomad77: Do you consider that I will find my lost bug report there? | 07:24 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, create a small partition of around 1 gb for this, swap is like a virtual memory thing is needed | 07:25 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso: it wants me to manually do it because it says if I do automatic it will remove the windows launcher | 07:25 |
| Jonathan_Glam | indus: ah ok | 07:25 |
| rileyp | go read a guide on how to install ubuntu or how to dual boot | 07:25 |
| rileyp | they are everywher | 07:25 |
| zen_master_soso | indus, i don't think swap space is compulsory. | 07:25 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: try the package "kdelibs5-dev" | 07:25 |
| rileyp | and stop wasting peoples time here | 07:25 |
| Jonathan_Glam | rileyp: yes but many aren't for windows7 and many are fairly dodgy | 07:25 |
| indus | zen_master_soso, it is absolutely | 07:25 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, but you should have a separate swap partition the same size as your RAM | 07:25 |
| rileyp | crap | 07:25 |
| Myrtti | rileyp: behave | 07:25 |
| zen_master_soso | indus, never tested that. always had a swap partition | 07:25 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: installing | 07:25 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: how do you know the dependencies for this? is it just common knowlege? | 07:26 |
| Seaan | Anyone know a helpful web site to setting up the client computer after you set up a server? | 07:26 |
| indus | zen_master_soso, well its not recommened way, system has severe trouble shutting down, hibernate and lot of other issues | 07:26 |
| Jonathan_Glam | zen_master_soso, indus: ok I'll create a swap partition of about two gig? And I'll mount that as /swap? | 07:26 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, yes ! | 07:26 |
| rileyp | so create 3 partitions on your spare hard drive /swap 2gig / 15 gig and /home whatever is left | 07:26 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: just search the repositories | 07:26 |
| Jonathan_Glam | and then I make a main one with just / as my mount point? | 07:27 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, don't worry too much. Ubuntu will install the GRUB boot loader on the first partition (prob /dev/sda1). Windows will boot up thinking it's the only os on the drive. And yes on the swap partition! | 07:27 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, so then, 58 gb will be / and the rest will be the swap partition | 07:27 |
| Duskao | that may have done it. | 07:27 |
| rileyp | nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 07:27 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, yes on main part "/' | 07:27 |
| indus | Jonathan_Glam, yes, also do remember to tick the format option for / | 07:27 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: that may have done it. | 07:27 |
| Jonathan_Glam | alright awesome. I'll do it. Thanks again indus and zen_master_soso | 07:27 |
| rileyp | read my post above | 07:27 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: good job! | 07:27 |
| rileyp | 15 gig for / 2gig for swap and whatever is left for /home | 07:28 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: pffft, good job to you lol. You did all of it. Thanks | 07:28 |
| nomad77 | bullgard: well it was a web form. so i'd look there, just to be safe. try the cache-viewer extension. or not. just an idea. | 07:28 |
| turtle^s0up | np | 07:28 |

| Duskao | turtle^s0up: crap, new error lol | 07:28 |
| zen_master_soso | Jonathan_Glam, 15gb for / is more than enough. Keeping your / and /home separate is actually a very good idea. | 07:29 |

| Jonathan_Glam | Hi sorry. But is it possible for me to create a swap space after I've installed ubuntu? | 07:35 |
| Jonathan_Glam | just looking at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 07:35 |
| ouyes | "Ping timeout: -1430 years" very funny | 07:36 |
| Flannel | Seaan: What sort of server? | 07:36 |
| Myrtti | Jonathan_Glam: yes, but it's more difficult | 07:36 |
| === code is now known as sync | ||
| Jonathan_Glam | Because I can't seem to get it to create a swap file out of my partition that I've made for Ubuntu. So maybe if I install it there then create a swap space? | 07:36 |
| Seaan | file server | 07:36 |
| faileas | Jonathan_Glam: swap files and swap partitions are different | 07:36 |
| * faileas has a swap file right now ;p | 07:37 | |
| rileyp | delete the partition and create 3 parttions like we ssaid | 07:37 |
| Flannel | Seaan: For personal use? or public consumption or what? | 07:37 |
| ouyes | are there any tools to test the stability of the UBUNTU OS, conky is any a monitor tool | 07:37 |
| Jonathan_Glam | Myrtti: kk. Just I have this partition /sda3. How do I make the partition manager create a swap space with just two gig | 07:37 |
| Seaan | personal | 07:37 |
| rileyp | you need to redo part manager | 07:37 |
| rileyp | start again | 07:37 |
| rileyp | create 3 parttions | 07:38 |
| Flannel | Seaan: The easiest way to set it up is to use sftp, On the server you install openssh-server, and then on the client you use [almost any client] and it works just like ftp. (Most GUI ftp clients also do sftp, etc) | 07:38 |
| Jonathan_Glam | i created this partition ages ago when i installed windows. SO i can't realy sart gain | 07:38 |
| Myrtti | !who | rileyp | 07:38 |

| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:39 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: Boot ubuntu livecd, run gparted, create a swap partition, reboot into system, add the swap to /etc/fstab | 07:39 |
| Seaan | And so that would make it to where when I boot up the pc i would have to log in type thing? | 07:39 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: is there a guide online on how to do that so i can follow? on livecd now | 07:40 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: The partition you were talking about, is that a swap partition? | 07:40 |
| Myrtti | Jonathan_Glam: if you have the sda3 and its a whole harddrive, you can further partition it in the installer | 07:41 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: A generic guide to partitioning here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | 07:41 |
| PrototypeX29A | hi | 07:42 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: ok. So If i use GParted to format my sda3 (the Ubuntu one) to ext4. Then If I further divide it and make a seperate one for swap (which file type?) would that work? | 07:43 |
| obiwan_ | morning! | 07:43 |
| === DNS777 is now known as PeterJoseph | ||
| Myrtti | Jonathan_Glam: you need to go back a step from the dialog in which you pick the partition type and mount point to where you picked which partition to use and further partition that there | 07:43 |
| obiwan_ | (gmt+1 hehe) | 07:43 |
| EastDallas | Seaan: Are the client and server machine both going to be on the same local network? | 07:43 |
| PrototypeX29A | i just experienced that my route table was missing an routing entry. i had to add it via "route" command, so that my internet request would be routed to my local gateway. I didn't change my network settings for weeks, why is the entry suddenly missing? | 07:44 |
| Myrtti | Jonathan_Glam: given that you want to do it while in the installer | 07:44 |
| zen_master_soso | rileyp, did you get an answer? | 07:44 |
| === PeterJoseph is now known as DNS777 | ||
| mayasaryy | ada orang indonesia gak? | 07:45 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: You don't need to wipe your current install (sda3). Just resize it to make 2Gig free, then create a swap partition (choose swap instead of ext4 when creating it) in the free space | 07:45 |
| Myrtti | !id | mayasaryy | 07:46 |
| ubottu | mayasaryy: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 07:46 |

| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: the thing is though. That it is a completely clear partition. Nothing at all on it. So I want to make 58gig of it ext4 and 2 gig swap. how can I do that easiest? | 07:47 |
| EastDallas | Seaan: If it's all on the same network you can use Samba which works like windows file sharing. | 07:47 |

| eitreach_away | This happens in Ubuntu, but I strongly believe it would happen with Ubuntu as well. Whenever I try to install, I am greeted with a message about not being able to remove restricted files. What do I do to fix this? | 07:47 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: if I go to New Partition table I believe it resizes my whole sda drive. Instead of just sda3 | 07:48 |
| eitreach_away | er, happens in Kubuntu, I mean. | 07:48 |
| zen_master_soso | rileyp, i was going to ask if you got your problem fixed | 07:48 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: Ah, if it's already empty, just remove it, create an extended partition in its place, and create an ext4 and swap inside the extended. | 07:48 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha. sda3 is completely free. sda1,2 and 4 are used for windows | 07:48 |
| Kartagis | what determines if a drive is sda or sdb? I made a fresh install on my hdd and that became sdb and I moved my other disk to that system which became sda | 07:49 |
| Kartagis | s/became/is seen as/g | 07:49 |
| mayasaryy | #ubuntu-id di server mana yah ? | 07:49 |
| Myrtti | Kartagis: location on the sata/ide cable | 07:49 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: You are limited to four (primary) partitions, which is why you need to make one (primary) partition an extended. Inside extended partition you can have many logical partitions. This is a limitation from olden days. | 07:49 |
| mayasaryy | #ubuntu-id di server manaa yah ? | 07:49 |
| Flannel | mayasaryy: /join #ubuntu-id | 07:50 |
| === yadi is now known as cew_cri | ||
| Kartagis | Myrtti, does that mean sdb will be seen as sda if I just switch cables? | 07:51 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: had you added the route manually? | 07:51 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: ah works i believe! | 07:51 |
| turtle^s0up | is the Kubuntu plasma indicator widget important? can i remove it and have KDE's notification applet do it's job? | 07:51 |
| Myrtti | Kartagis: yes. if you use uuids in fstab, it shouldnt have any effect to your system | 07:51 |
| mayasaryy | how to make network on ubuntu ? | 07:52 |
| Myrtti | turtle^s0up: try #kubuntu? | 07:52 |
| archboxman | !network | 07:52 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:52 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: you could try it and see how it works, it' super easy to reinstall it if you need | 07:52 |
| Kartagis | thanks Myrtti | 07:52 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: also I wouldn't try the #kubuntu cause it's dead/afk | 07:53 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: you're right, i was just wondering if someone could explain it further | 07:53 |
| turtle^s0up | thanks | 07:53 |
| EastDallas | mayasaryy: do you want to share files or connect to the internet? | 07:53 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: lol, i tried their earleir | 07:53 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: what do you mean by "make a network"??? | 07:54 |
| Myrtti | Duskao: askin instead of lurking usually helps ;-) | 07:54 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha: oworks. thank you so much! | 07:54 |
| SolarisBoy | make networks not war =) | 07:54 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: to be honest, I think it is the applet. I'm not sure there is a notifier if you get rid of the widget | 07:54 |
| Jonathan_Glam | geirha, Myrtti: thanks again! | 07:54 |
| geirha | Jonathan_Glam: Great :) | 07:54 |
| mayasaryy | i wanna learn about make network structure to my LAN | 07:54 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: only this time, usually it does find the gateway itself | 07:54 |
| Myrtti | geirha, Jonathan_Glam : no, thank you | 07:54 |
| Duskao | Myrtti: I agree, but it's afk, I'm on their now and have been for the last couple hours. | 07:54 |
| Duskao | Myrtti: and done my fair share of asking questions or trying to help if I can. | 07:55 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: a network is more then one computer sharing information?? | 07:55 |
| SolarisBoy | so you lost your default gateway entry? | 07:55 |
| === yadi is now known as cew_cri_tmn | ||
| EastDallas | mayasaryy: I don't quite understand, but it sounds like you want to share files? | 07:55 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: it seems like it's new to ubuntu/kubuntu, i think part of the new usability initiative | 07:55 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: no mystery behind linux just what are you doing with the network | 07:55 |
| Myrtti | Duskao: patiece is a virtue, it's still quite early in europe, which may explain the silence | 07:55 |
| Duskao | Myrtti: perhaps. | 07:56 |
| mayasaryy | no, how make structure of LAN | 07:56 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: as the route table seems to be created dynamically, the problem seems to lie in the creation of the table | 07:56 |
| Myrtti | mayasaryy: connect cables? | 07:56 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: Yeah, I really like to to be honest, and kde 4.4 is pretty sweet, or will be once the bugs are worked out, very widget oriented. | 07:56 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i should be automatically added | 07:56 |
| EastDallas | mayasaryy: do you want to set up dhcp and dns servers for your lan? | 07:57 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: do you use the gmail-plasmoid widget on KDE 4.4? | 07:57 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: other things can cause an entry to go missing | 07:57 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: Well you have a server and computers attached to server if not you all computers in a lan without centeral station all are responsible for the netowrk??? more like a hub party | 07:57 |
| mayasaryy | yeah like it | 07:57 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: that should not happen, should it? | 07:57 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: nah, I downgraded back to 4.3 cause kwin was crashing a lot. Still lots of bugs to be worked out. | 07:57 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: not usually i've seen it happen occasionally before | 07:58 |
| zen_master_soso | anyone know a good easy to read introduction to the X session lifecycle? | 07:58 |
| PrototypeX29A | even rebooting did not help, if it wasn't me being such a smart guy i would be seriously messed up | 07:58 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: which do you have a server and computers... or hub party ??? | 07:58 |
| cew_cri_tmn | #surabaya | 07:58 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: did the router have an issue at any point? | 07:58 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: yeah, that's why i'm staying with the stable. the gmail-plasmoid didn't work and krunner would crash all the time. | 07:58 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i don't think so | 07:58 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: do you use DHCP? | 07:59 |
| PrototypeX29A | i guess, so | 07:59 |
| SolarisBoy | hmm | 07:59 |
| mayasaryy | sory i have much trouble about network, but i can speak more, because my english too bad | 07:59 |
| Duskao | turtle^s0up: yeah, had the same issue, lots of widgets weren't working properly at the time either. but the widget setup was great | 07:59 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i just stopped working correctly | 07:59 |
| archboxman | mayasaryy: you need to learn networking 101 | 08:00 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: do you use network manager or interfaces file? | 08:00 |
| mayasaryy | where i can get it | 08:00 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i use the "Network Connections" in the menu | 08:00 |
| turtle^s0up | Duskao: KDE folks are doing an awesome job, really good progression | 08:00 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: ifconfig | 08:00 |
| SolarisBoy | also check dmesg output for line pertaining to your eth* | 08:00 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: ifconfig what? | 08:01 |
| === per is now known as Guest42920 | ||
| SolarisBoy | actually try ethtool | 08:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | for what? | 08:01 |
| SolarisBoy | errors | 08:01 |
| archboxman | yes check your connection | 08:01 |
| archboxman | ping the router box | 08:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | now it is working | 08:01 |
| SolarisBoy | correct but looking for what happend right? | 08:01 |
| PrototypeX29A | it just does not add the route entry anymore | 08:02 |
| Adriaan | hi, i'm experiencing rendering errors with compiz-fusion, especially when moving the 'cube', i have the latest nvidia drivers, does anyone know how this is possible? | 08:02 |
| PrototypeX29A | so next time i'll boot i will to manually add it again | 08:02 |
| SolarisBoy | no... | 08:02 |
| SolarisBoy | thats not a solution... | 08:02 |
| SolarisBoy | its a workaround | 08:02 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: that's why i am asking :) | 08:02 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: call your isp and check if they had trouble or disconnection first | 08:02 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: so have pinged the router/ and done the ethtool like we asked yet? | 08:03 |
| SolarisBoy | and checked dmesg and messages file? | 08:03 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i don't know what the point in pinging the router is, if it obviously works | 08:03 |
| PrototypeX29A | if := when | 08:03 |
| archboxman | 'lol | 08:03 |
| SolarisBoy | packet loss? | 08:03 |
| SolarisBoy | intermittent errors? | 08:04 |
| SolarisBoy | link up link down error in message file? | 08:04 |
| SolarisBoy | things like this are good to know,, ifconfig contains errors in a counter format,, so it would have errors collected on the interface no? | 08:04 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: is this wireless??? | 08:04 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: yes, it is | 08:04 |
| archboxman | lol | 08:05 |
| archboxman | iwconfig | 08:05 |
| SolarisBoy | fail | 08:05 |
| PrototypeX29A | and then? | 08:05 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: you want to tell me something? | 08:05 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: also you need to know if the laptop / desktop or netbook are within range | 08:05 |
| SolarisBoy | maybe you should reboot the router | 08:05 |
| kevinprince | Hey, im trying to get php 5.3 running on Hardy Heron. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Having issues getting it working | 08:06 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Great suggestions ... :) | 08:06 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: yes | 08:06 |
| PrototypeX29A | you answers seem a little bit generic, like "maybe your house is on fire" | 08:06 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: trying to point you to checking the connection between the laptop/desktip and the router | 08:06 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: no | 08:07 |
| gregor_ | whats this then | 08:08 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: what we are trying to see is if your connected... Usually start with logs to check for errors of send and recieve ... If you think its hardware then you need to give us insight | 08:08 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: right now, i am connected | 08:09 |
| SolarisBoy | a route can go missing if it becomes invalid,, you said you added your default gw back after you rebooted,, apparently there was an issue with your gw router | 08:09 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: i am chatting via this wifi connection | 08:09 |
| kevinprince | any ideas? | 08:09 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: only way to cheek a paste expereince is to check your logs... | 08:09 |
| specagent_ | i have a problem using ubuntu | 08:09 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: exactly | 08:10 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: kern.log? | 08:10 |
| SolarisBoy | actually.. | 08:10 |
| PrototypeX29A | i don't even know which tool failed me | 08:11 |
| SolarisBoy | depends on syslog settings | 08:11 |
| specagent_ | can anyone help me plz? i've a problem using ubuntu | 08:11 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: your assuming its ubuntu more then likely its your provider seems I got disconnected the other day and service providers basic anwser is to give you there down right no | 08:11 |
| SolarisBoy | this is why i said do ethtool ifconfig ping the router checking for intermittent things like packet loss etc... | 08:11 |
| SolarisBoy | and before you blame the provider you should investigate whichever devices are intermediary,, | 08:12 |
| i3inary | anyone know how to backup and migrate my installation to new hardware?...say from laptop to a desktop. | 08:12 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: i don't understand | 08:12 |
| lfitz | is there a way to tell which files are currently being written too..? | 08:13 |
| SolarisBoy | but listen,, are you directly connected to the internet PrototypeX29A ? | 08:13 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: right now the connection seems fine, no packet loss or whatever | 08:13 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i am connected via router | 08:13 |
| SolarisBoy | because a blip in the netwoerk even on the ISP level shouldn't affect you LAN | 08:13 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: got to check the range from the wireless device mine gives 63% signal gain | 08:13 |
| SolarisBoy | at all | 08:13 |
| kevinprince | i3inary: install on new machine, use rsync to copy your home directory | 08:14 |
| SolarisBoy | you would still be in communication with nodes on you LAN | 08:14 |
| geirha | lfitz: man lsof | 08:14 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: the lan is fine | 08:14 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: unless all you are doing is connecting to internet??? | 08:14 |
| lfitz | :D thanks geirha | 08:14 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: ... | 08:14 |
| specagent_ | my problem is: if i try to compile a program with scons, there are error messages (sh: o: not found). i've already installed (and even re-installed) gcc, g++, scons, build-essential and it still doesn't work | 08:14 |
| i3inary | kevinprince, would that handle all the packages that i have installed and configured? | 08:14 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: i think we are having a loss in communication | 08:14 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: may be | 08:15 |
| kindofabuzz | Need a little command gedit <?>, what i'm asking is there anything i can put after the gedit part without actually thping those files file names in? | 08:15 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: im just basically trying to help you find why your route is needed to be manually added | 08:15 |
| kindofabuzz | ooops scratch all that | 08:15 |
| SolarisBoy | regardless of what works now | 08:15 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: you want to know why the internet connection was right???? | 08:15 |
| archboxman | was down | 08:15 |
| SolarisBoy | you should never have to manually add a route back on each reboot... | 08:16 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i'm just saying, that the wlan was working all the time, at any point was able to ping my router | 08:16 |
| SolarisBoy | at worst you can slip in one of the start scripts to avoid that... | 08:16 |
| kindofabuzz | Need a little command help, touch file1 file2 && gedit <?>, what i'm asking is there anything i can put after the gedit part without actually typing those files file names in? | 08:16 |
| fsufitch | hey. what's the best way to get grub in the MBR after installing Windows on a computer? | 08:16 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: ok so at which point did you lose the default gw entry? | 08:16 |
| archboxman | PrototypeX29A: who is your isp??? | 08:16 |
| kindofabuzz | fsufitch, super grub disc is a great grub fixer distro | 08:17 |
| [J]ustin | Any reason I am getting this when I connect via SSH? WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0 | 08:17 |
| kindofabuzz | i mean you can do it manually too | 08:17 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: after rebooting | 08:17 |
| fsufitch | kindofabuzz: better than ubuntu live CD? | 08:17 |
| fsufitch | (or live USB in my case) | 08:17 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: some local spanish provider | 08:17 |
| Devrethman | fsufitch: I used to do it with grub-install, but I haven't had to in a REALLY long time, so I can't do any more than point you in that direction | 08:17 |
| kindofabuzz | fsufitch, well with the ubuntu live you have to still know how to fix your grub, Super Grub Disc can do it automatically | 08:17 |
| SolarisBoy | and you use your ISP's router directly via wireless? or you have your own netgear/linksys etc router doing NAT and your LAN? | 08:18 |
| PrototypeX29A | archboxman: orangeadsl | 08:18 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: there is a router in between | 08:18 |
| SolarisBoy | because im trying to understand why you would need to add a route back to get to the internet that wasn't the route to your NAT router... | 08:18 |
| fsufitch | kindofabuzz: the problem is that my CD drive is sort of... broken. so i'm not sure it would even boot from SGD. it doesn't boot from live ubuntu CD... | 08:18 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: it is the route to the router i was adding | 08:19 |
| SolarisBoy | ok so what route do you have on your route table that wasn't manually added that affects you reaching the internet? | 08:19 |
| fsufitch | kindofabuzz: is there a way to get SGD on a USB drive? | 08:19 |
| Devrethman | I suppose you could put SGD on an flashdrive. | 08:19 |
| kindofabuzz | fsufitch, probably | 08:19 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: add -new 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.1 or something like that did it | 08:19 |
| SolarisBoy | ok so as i said its your default gw that was lost,, so have you checked for any issue in connectivity to and from? yet? | 08:19 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: actually the default route to my router was missing | 08:19 |
| Devrethman | I know it's possible to put any bootable image on a flashdrive, but I've never done it in not-macOS, so I am not familiar with the procedure. | 08:19 |
| cthulhu2 | Guys. Is there any way to replace gnome with xfce without wiping and reinstalling ubuntu? | 08:19 |
| haffe | Yes. | 08:19 |
| SolarisBoy | PrototypeX29A: this is what i said initially | 08:19 |
| tonyyarusso | cthulhu2: yes, but it's a bit tricky. | 08:20 |
| fsufitch | kindofabuzz: oh duh, i'm stupid. "jfgi" is the proper answer to that: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SGD_Howto_make#How_to_make_a_Super_Grub_Disk_USB. | 08:20 |
| cthulhu2 | tonyyarusso is it something you think you might be able to walk me through? | 08:20 |
| kindofabuzz | http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php | 08:20 |
| SolarisBoy | so have you checked for any issue in connectivity between the router and your box yet? in messages, ping, ethtool, etc? | 08:20 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: i'm not sure for what issues i should be looking | 08:20 |
| SolarisBoy | i told you | 08:20 |
| SolarisBoy | =) | 08:20 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: have problems with comcast not giving computer access unless on network for 24 hours weather wireless or land line... they refuse this because of people drive by and scan and connect all the time... | 08:20 |
| PrototypeX29A | i did a ping, there is no packet loss | 08:20 |
| PrototypeX29A | (i told you) | 08:20 |
| tonyyarusso | cthulhu2: You'd have two choices. 1) Install xubuntu-desktop and then manually remove each one of the gnome-only packages. 2) Remove GTK libraries willy-nilly and watch the gnome stuff get removed as dependencies, stripping down to a command-line only system, and install xubuntu-desktop from there. | 08:21 |
| PrototypeX29A | for ethtool i don't know how to use it | 08:21 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: interesting | 08:21 |
| cthulhu2 | tonyyarusso that can take quite some time, can't it. Is that something you think you could do over vnc? | 08:21 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: funny you mention comcast one of my clients =),, their IT is really horrid | 08:21 |
| cthulhu2 | Im a bit new to linux tonsofpcs | 08:21 |
| cthulhu2 | tonyyarusso I mean | 08:21 |

| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: hmm there is one line in dmesg which looks suspicious, i will paste it | 08:24 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: usually the router would have the feature to clone the workstation mac addy | 08:24 |
| SolarisBoy | that effectively solves that issue | 08:24 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: usually so ,but comcast has some program that pushes past my router to see the mac address.. | 08:25 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 08:25 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: http://pastebin.com/m45b28590 | 08:25 |

| Bigshot | how can i specifically install 2.6.32-16 kernel? | 08:25 |
| SolarisBoy | [ 15.995406] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready | 08:25 |
| SolarisBoy | common line | 08:26 |
| kindofabuzz | compile it | 08:26 |
| PrototypeX29A | SolarisBoy: the same with wlan0 | 08:26 |
| SolarisBoy | yea try rebooting the router and see if the issue persists | 08:26 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: wonder if there breaking rules to get pas my router function or read the header and footer of packages to figure out it is a different computer | 08:26 |
| kindofabuzz | Bigshot, compile it yourself or if it's in the repos, install it and uninstall the kernals you don't want | 08:26 |
| PrototypeX29A | ok, thx | 08:26 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: dought seriously | 08:26 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: maybe they just figure to many packages sent and recieved to be one computer requesting information from two or more websites at exact time... | 08:28 |
| SolarisBoy | that is likely that they do throttling | 08:28 |
| SolarisBoy | thats probably the issue | 08:28 |

| robert__ | im trying to get my iphone to sunce with ubuntu 9.10 can anybody help | 08:29 |
| SolarisBoy | sunce? | 08:29 |
| robert__ | i tried using this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html | 08:29 |
| robert__ | but it didnt work | 08:30 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: oh well no biggy to me I just wait 24 hours and wow there both up... The only funny thing was the netbook I returned seem not to wait for 24 hour hook up just worked out the box | 08:30 |
| babbio | hi guys i have a question, i use to connect to my work pc with ssh and a password...so i have to insert the passphrase every single time....is there a way to store the passphrase somewhere so i have to insert it only the first time? | 08:30 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio | 08:30 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: is everything you talking about behind the same NAT'd IP? | 08:30 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, yeah i can walk you through it | 08:30 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz: what?? | 08:31 |
| robert__ | anybody able to help with the iphone? | 08:31 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: oh yes.. even though I may have connected via my next door neighbors router.. | 08:31 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: leaves the router unsecure | 08:31 |
| SolarisBoy | there may be other things at hand then | 08:31 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, first run ssh-keygen -t rsa | 08:32 |
| SolarisBoy | you neighbor likely using comcast as well correct? | 08:32 |
| babbio | i already have the rsa key | 08:32 |
| turtle^s0up | robert__: sell it and buy an N900 or a Google Android. | 08:32 |
| robert__ | its through work so i cant | 08:32 |
| robert__ | i used these directions but it didnt work http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html | 08:32 |
| masterjake_net | Can some one tell me how to trade space on my Windows XP partition and give it to my Ubuntu partition? | 08:33 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: where do you see an issue.. you say wait 24 hours and their both up,, meaning what? | 08:33 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: you receive an IP from your neigbors router,, however internet connectivity is not active for up to 24 hrs? | 08:33 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, ok, now ssh-copy-id ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server: | 08:33 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Comcast new policy | 08:33 |
| turtle^s0up | robert__: did you try the weupd8 guide? http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/complete-guide-to-mounting-your-iphone.html | 08:33 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, drop the : | 08:33 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: gotta look it up haven't heard about it =) | 08:33 |
| SolarisBoy | kindofabuzz: what package is ssh-copy-id installed by? | 08:34 |
| robert__ | turtle: let me take a look | 08:34 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Comcast tech asked before leaving house would I connect more then one computer because it needed time to configure | 08:34 |
| kindofabuzz | SolarisBoy, i guess just the main ssh one | 08:34 |
| === Guest10583 is now known as DaZ | ||
| SolarisBoy | kindofabuzz: odd i have been looking for it on some hosts @ work which have openssh* packages but to no availability =( | 08:35 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: behind the router | 08:35 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, another way is just to scp or whatever the id_rsa.pub over to server:~/.ssh | 08:35 |
| robert__ | how do i know for sure what version i am running in terms of animal | 08:35 |
| SolarisBoy | had to manually copy the keys | 08:35 |
| robert__ | its 9.10 | 08:35 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: that sucks | 08:35 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz: i have this error /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found | 08:36 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: not really just use the laptop with Linux Mint or Arch Linux for business... The desktop is not really a primary computer | 08:36 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, are you on ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| SolarisBoy | i've had/have up to 5 ip's active behind my NAT 2 linux boxes one windows (roomate) iphone and 1-2 laptops | 08:37 |
| babbio | yes i am | 08:37 |
| turtle^s0up | robert__: if your ever unsure in the future, you can always type "lsb_release -a" to get the version of Ubuntu | 08:37 |
| rww | robert__: 9.10 is Karmic Koala | 08:37 |
| kindofabuzz | hmmm looking for what package hold it. babbio you could just scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server:~/.ssh | 08:37 |
| rileyp | im back | 08:37 |
| turtle^s0up | you're* | 08:37 |
| robert__ | thank you | 08:37 |
| turtle^s0up | np | 08:37 |
| SolarisBoy | i think there is actually a dpkg option that tells kindofabuzz =) just to lazy to look it up | 08:38 |
| csaba | is there some program that will print out my computer configuration, cpu, ram, hard disks...? | 08:38 |
| rileyp | I need help to disablemouse during suspend | 08:38 |
| robert__ | let me see if i can get this working | 08:38 |
| masterjake_net | I made my Ubuntu partition too small, 13GBs... are there any programs that can take some space from my huge Windows partition and give it to my Ubuntu? | 08:38 |
| SolarisBoy | like dpkg -<someoption> /path/to/pkg | 08:38 |
| rww | csaba: look into lshw | 08:38 |
| SolarisBoy | kindofabuzz: needs to properly permission those keys as well or check that they are | 08:38 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: 13GB is enough space | 08:40 |
| rileyp | muose is waking up pc when its bumped | 08:40 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: repartitioning is always tedious on linux | 08:40 |
| rileyp | I need to disable mouse during suspend | 08:40 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: i suggest you create symbolic links to a separate larger hard drive or partition and keep your large files in that folder | 08:41 |
| kindofabuzz | SolarisBoy, it's part of openssh-client package | 08:41 |
| rileyp | i need usb0 enabled though so remote can wake | 08:41 |
| blip- | hi all, I run xubuntu 9.04 and thinking of upgrading or clean installing 9.10... I read the release notes saying that Grub won't be upgraded to v2 if I do an upgrade. Is that the major difference between upgrade and clean install ? I'm worried that I won't be getting the full 9.10 experience and improved performance ? | 08:41 |
| SolarisBoy | kindofabuzz: interesting | 08:41 |
| turtle^s0up | blip-: you can install Grub2 on 9.10 | 08:42 |
| masterjake_net | Can I mount the windows partition consant? Like not have to mount it every time I restart. | 08:42 |
| turtle^s0up | blip-: it's pretty easy | 08:42 |
| SolarisBoy | they must be hiding it.. they do that =) | 08:42 |
| blip- | turtle^s0up: ok. would it be a good idea to delete ~/.xfce and a bunch of others in order to 'reset things' and make sure it goes smoothly ? So far I've never upgraded , I always clean install | 08:42 |
| SolarisBoy | masterjake_net: think need ntfs-tools to do it | 08:42 |
| rileyp | blip upgrading has issues | 08:42 |
| kindofabuzz | SolarisBoy, it always installs by default since dapper for me | 08:42 |
| turtle^s0up | blip-: IMO nothing too noticeable in grub2 | 08:42 |
| SolarisBoy | kindofabuzz: use RHEL at work | 08:42 |
| robert__ | darn what am i doing wrong that wont let this work | 08:42 |
| rileyp | like wont login automaically after upgrade | 08:43 |
| SolarisBoy | i've got it here =) on my ubuntu | 08:43 |
| turtle^s0up | blip-: backup before you delete, just rename the file. it's good idea to remove old config files when you upgrade | 08:43 |
| blip- | rileyp: are they noticable issues that I can then fix ? or random crashes and slow downs ? | 08:43 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, get it working? | 08:43 |
| ge0 | Anyone know how i can install/configure drivers for my Intel card | 08:44 |
| blip- | turtle^s0up: ok so I will rename all dot directories including firefox, gtk etc.. | 08:44 |
| denis123 | Hi. I'm trying to enable Desktop effects and to do so it says (http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/12/20/how-to-install-docky-in-ubuntu-9-10/) to install my propierty driver. I did so as described however now my screens are working really unusual (i have dual screens). My right screen is now my main screen, and my left screen is only half used | 08:44 |
| === am4zin is now known as amazin | ||
| ge0 | I dled updates that said they had intel drivers, but still can't enable effects or adjust resolution. | 08:44 |
| rileyp | blip all are fixable | 08:44 |
| denis123 | what could be the reason of this? I've tried to move them under System > Appearance > Display but it won't change | 08:44 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, this would be the *nix way if the ubuntu way didn't work: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html | 08:44 |
| rileyp | blip google each one as you find them | 08:45 |
| Shay27 | Hello , when i installed windows-7 on my machine , my grub was erased , i fixed the grub using the Live-cd but now the Ubuntu is loading on the start and i cant see menu where i can choose between the 2 operating systems , how can i make the grub to show up menu ?] | 08:46 |
| blip- | rileyp, turtle^s0up: thanks. one final thing, what do you think of ext4 on a laptop ? I won't be converting to ext4, if I want that i'll reinstall | 08:46 |
| rileyp | blip i dont see any probs | 08:47 |
| masterjake_net | turtle^s0up: I can already read and write to my NTFS Winxp partition what does NTFS Tools do then? | 08:47 |
| turtle^s0up | blip-: ext4 has been good for me | 08:47 |
| archboxman | Shay27: nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:47 |
| karpus | stupid question probably: I took a screenshot (printscreen) and saved it to my desktop, and if I go to properties I can see that the file is owned by <my account name> (<my name>) -- does this kind of personal information get saved to the picture or is it just me that can see it? I want to upload this file to the internet, but not risking to lose my anonymity | 08:47 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: the tools are partitioning and working with NTFS disks | 08:48 |
| cisco | does anyone know how to get a built in web cam to work with empathy i'm a noob and im having problems | 08:48 |
| SolarisBoy | the file likely get permissions changed to the web user for your account | 08:48 |
| elgh | Hello :) | 08:48 |
| elgh | Anyone good at xorg.conf? | 08:48 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz, i dont have ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub... i only have "known_host" in my ~/.ssh | 08:48 |
| kindofabuzz | karpus, no | 08:48 |
| blip- | karpus: I'm pretty sure saved on the image, jpegs have fields for a bunch of other things like type of camera etc.. | 08:48 |
| SolarisBoy | you can check the properties for extra details that may be in the image file and remove them | 08:48 |
| rileyp | karpus the file once uploaded will belong to website uploaded too | 08:48 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: assuming you are talking about "ntfsprogs" package? | 08:48 |
| archboxman | elgh: what you want have to play with xorg.conf all the time in Archlinux | 08:49 |
| mehee | hi all | 08:49 |
| masterjake_net | turtle^s0up: oops wrong program | 08:49 |
| karpus | SolarisBoy: any good program for that? | 08:49 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, then you didn't creat an rsa then, as user, ssh-keygen -t rsa | 08:49 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz, i read the link just now....i'll check it out | 08:49 |
| SolarisBoy | depends on OS your on | 08:50 |
| Shay27 | does it possible to load the other operating system from the Ubuntu ? so i can switch between the 2 operating systems by key ? | 08:50 |
| mehee | anyone know how to see what devices mounted from terminal hdd usb etc | 08:50 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: oh, i see you are talking about ntfs-config then | 08:50 |
| karpus | ubuntu 9.10 x64 | 08:50 |
| elgh | archboxman, after editing my xorg.conf, which is very basic, my cursor turns into a green square... | 08:50 |
| rileyp | help with mouse and supsned please peoples | 08:50 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz, the rsa key was created by my boss | 08:50 |
| SolarisBoy | i think just plain properties will due for most image file types | 08:50 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, once you do that you will have a ~/.ssh with two files in it. id_rsa and id_rsa.put | 08:50 |
| kindofabuzz | pu b | 08:50 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: it's for configuring NTFS, mounting on boot, and working with USB flash drives | 08:50 |
| Raydiation | is there an alternative to gtk-recordmydesktop? its just slow beyond all recognition | 08:50 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, ok then, point the ssh-copy-id to the right directory then | 08:50 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: it's like a GUI tool for working with your fstab | 08:51 |
| SolarisBoy | but you can use something fancy like gimp or imagemagick (maybe) for linux or irfanview for windows | 08:51 |
| tazmanddevil67 | anyone, just installed ubuntu 9.10 and wife wants to goto www.iwin.com can't get it to work. | 08:51 |
| oll | 1 | 08:51 |
| masterjake_net | turtle^s0up: Is there a way to auto mount my windows partition when I start up and have it be the same name so shortcuts work each time. | 08:51 |
| kindofabuzz | babbio, ssh-copy-id /path/to/rsakey user@server | 08:51 |
| archboxman | elgh: read some file that can change colors in terminal hold on | 08:51 |
| SolarisBoy | however the actual file permissions your referencing will be changed when you upload to whoever the server is configured to use | 08:51 |
| archboxman | elgh: don | 08:51 |
| rileyp | master jake | 08:52 |
| rileyp | add to fstab | 08:52 |
| archboxman | elgh: no sure it is to due with xorg though | 08:52 |
| mehee | anyone know how to see what devices mounted from terminal hdd usb etc | 08:52 |
| rileyp | mehee lsusb | 08:52 |
| SolarisBoy | df | 08:52 |

| cisco | can anyone get their webcam to work on empathy | 08:52 |
| rileyp | mehee ls /sd* | 08:52 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: yes use ntfs-config, start it as root "gksudo ntfs-config" | 08:52 |
| archboxman | elgh: xorg.conf is for screen vector and setting up mouse and keyboard | 08:53 |
| elgh | archboxman: I have to eat some, are you here in about 15 min? | 08:53 |
| turtle^s0up | masterjake_net: or it should ask you for the password | 08:53 |
| SolarisBoy | all devices are named sd* on ubuntu? | 08:53 |
| archboxman | elgh: yes will work on your idea | 08:53 |
| elgh | archmanbox: sweet, coming back in a while. | 08:53 |
| mehee | ribasushi: thats not the corect command | 08:54 |
| mehee | rileyp: thats not the corect command | 08:54 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: you can use df or mount | 08:54 |
| karpus | SolarisBoy: ok I see, thanks for your help | 08:54 |
| SolarisBoy | karpus: no problem | 08:54 |
| babbio | kindofabuzz, same error as before : /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found | 08:54 |

| kindofabuzz | yeah | 08:55 |
| rileyp | help with mouse disable in suspend please | 08:55 |
| archboxman | Shay27: if your going to change the boot sequeeze around all you do is edit which one boots first | 08:56 |
| mehee | yes i need the devices eg /dev/sda1....., /dev/sda2....., /dev/usb..... etc | 08:56 |
| SolarisBoy | rileyp: also sd* devices aren't usually present on / | 08:56 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: mount or df | 08:56 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: if you want to see all devices mounted/no mounted try fdisk or lshw or lsusb etc | 08:56 |
| maxjezy | what is your favorite game in ubuntu? | 08:56 |
| archboxman | devices are in the /dev | 08:57 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: correct | 08:57 |
| SolarisBoy | on debian | 08:57 |
| mehee | no fdisk not give that info | 08:57 |
| llutz | babbio: ssh-copy-id -i id-rsa.pub user@host | 08:57 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: i said use fdisk if you want to see everthing there | 08:58 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: use mount or df to see whats mounted | 08:58 |
| rileyp | mehe fdisk -l | 08:58 |
| rileyp | and ls -/dev/sd* to show drives | 08:58 |
| SolarisBoy | oh yea well thats an option im speaking command in general =) | 08:58 |
| mehee | lshw givs to much info. i have been shown the comand before and know what output i am needing | 08:58 |
| rileyp | sorry partitions | 08:58 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: all these changes Ubuntu makes boot sequence and file locations.. hmmmmmmmmm... makes you wonder why people consider it bloated | 08:58 |
| rileyp | mehe why not just look in dmesg will show all oyur hadware | 08:59 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: works for me =) | 08:59 |
| rileyp | mehee dmesg | 08:59 |
| SolarisBoy | rileyp: mehee use df or mount to see whats mounted... dmesg also shows what was mouted at boot | 08:59 |
| mehee | SolarisBoy: fdisk gives Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device | 08:59 |
| mehee | E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk) | 08:59 |
| mehee | or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk) | 08:59 |
| mehee | or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive) | 08:59 |

| archboxman | SolarisBoy: hey, my computer boots in 15 seconds or less | 08:59 |
| SolarisBoy | or got plugged in | 08:59 |
| mehee | dmesg has to much info again | 09:00 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: mines takes longer because my sendmail --> gmail thing is a little latent | 09:00 |
| SolarisBoy | other than that it would be the same | 09:00 |
| mehee | SolarisBoy: df or mount give to much infomation | 09:00 |
| rileyp | mehee what you want to find? | 09:00 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: no you need to learn how to read it which is easy would you like to know? | 09:01 |
| rileyp | mehe a usb device? | 09:01 |
| mehee | there is a comand that gices just basicly what is mounted one line for each device | 09:01 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: mount | 09:01 |
| SolarisBoy | mehee: df | 09:01 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: no because yours moves to network booting up first ... mine only does it as deamon and background service | 09:01 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: true i guess | 09:01 |
| mehee | SolarisBoy: they are giving different info from what i got when i was given a command i cant remember atm | 09:02 |

| coz_ | sayed, ok let me make a suggestion then.... go into xp and completely defrag it...then in xp under disk management delte the partition made from ubuntu....then reinstall ubuntu and allow it the amount of space you would like...with that size disk I would give it equal amounts of space as xp | 09:10 |

| connex | hi, i have a dell d610 laptop, it's native resolution is 1400x1050, after i used the external vga port to dual view the tv and the laptop, i can't get the native resolution detected and switched to, what do i do? | 09:12 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: you asking if there is a reason to change the color of the prompt or the console text color? | 09:12 |
| SolarisBoy | if the prompt yes need to edit bashrc because thats where its set | 09:12 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: not that why do ubuntu users edit the bashrc file?? | 09:13 |
| SolarisBoy | i like mines customized | 09:14 |
| archboxman | connex: dont think you can set ubuntu that high??? | 09:14 |
| SolarisBoy | i put color definitions some custom functions lots of aliases, etc its for ease of use | 09:14 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: got u , your beyond the average ubuntu user that is for sure :) | 09:15 |
| connex | fixed it, apparently the xorg settings remained active even after i remove the screen and rebooted, i just had to deleted the virtual desktop section, wish someone would open a bug report on it, anyways i'm back to the 1400x1050 resolution | 09:15 |
| SolarisBoy | lol i get your point though,, most users of ubuntu likely dont sit in bash a lot so they would receive no benefit from editing the defaults | 09:16 |
| === ubuntu is now known as simplechat_ | ||
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Don't know if I could edit out all of the unused programs your talking about, Openoffice alone is 824mb | 09:19 |
| SolarisBoy | yes its a large program, but where are you talking of editing it at? | 09:19 |
| SolarisBoy | s/program/package/ | 09:20 |
| archboxman | --remove not just edit I use abiword | 09:20 |
| pat|nG | what's the command to know the path of my kernel? | 09:21 |

| Myrtti | thefish: grub2 is the default | 09:21 |
| SolarisBoy | pat|nG: the kernel is in /boot/ the src likely /usr/src | 09:21 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: no more college courses can dump half the programs | 09:21 |

| SolarisBoy | dependcy issue? | 09:27 |
| archboxman | elgh: found that changing prompt colors was under .bashrc | 09:27 |
| thechef | gnome-system-monitor is not very useful, because it mainly monitors it's own cpu usage. | 09:27 |
| ouyes | how to make a settings in xchat to highlight my word? | 09:27 |
| archboxman | elgh: have you edited your bachrc anytime soon | 09:27 |
| elgh | archbox: I had to install my computer with alternate install, running Jaunty. Graphics issues made me install graphics drivers in recovery mode. But I still couldn't see, so I edited xorg.conf and that made my cursor weird... | 09:28 |
| SolarisBoy | i may have a link in my delicous for customizing bashrc... prompt, aliases etc.. one sec... | 09:28 |
| pintook | hello i need help with my Ooo | 09:28 |

| ouyes | what is Ooo | 09:28 |
| SolarisBoy | with defaults | 09:28 |
| rww | ouyes: OpenOffice.org | 09:29 |

| brand0n | callum__ i was wondering that too | 09:29 |
| archboxman | elgh: after looking over xorg.conf its only driver used for the mouse not the color change unless you are using the wrong driver | 09:29 |
| brand0n | this new empathy messenger is garbge | 09:29 |
| brand0n | it has even less support for video calls than pidgin does | 09:29 |
| brand0n | no idea why it was changed to default | 09:29 |
| rww | ouyes: settings -> preferences -> Chatting:Alerts -> Extra words to highlight | 09:30 |
| elgh | archboxman: okey... | 09:30 |

| brand0n | also is ffmpeg better than mencoder? | 09:32 |
| callum__ | god im going to use google instead | 09:32 |
| callum__ | this support channel is FAIL Lately | 09:32 |
| elgh | archboxman: Get a laugh? :P | 09:32 |
| coz_ | brand0n, I would have 'both" installed | 09:32 |
| brand0n | i do | 09:33 |
| brand0n | but for some reason when i install DeVeDe | 09:33 |
| physh | I have googled the heck out of my problems but I'm thinking it's just to easy and I'm missing it | 09:33 |
| brand0n | it uninstalls ffmpeg | 09:33 |
| coz_ | brand0n, also there is a front end to ffmpeg name winff | 09:33 |
| brand0n | whats the best app for converting video files (avi mpg mp4) to iso | 09:33 |
| brand0n | in your opinion i mean | 09:33 |
| SolarisBoy | ffmpeg | 09:33 |
| coz_ | brand0n, probably ffmpeg maybe handbrake | 09:34 |
| brand0n | and winff is the best frontend for that SolarisBoy | 09:34 |
| brand0n | ? | 09:34 |
| brand0n | how do you feel about avidemux | 09:34 |
| SolarisBoy | i use it from cmdline mostly | 09:34 |
| pat|nG | i click on system > hardware drivers > i got this broadcom STA driver not activated i clicked activate i got this error message sorry, installation of this driver failed please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log what will i do now? | 09:34 |
| SolarisBoy | or scripts | 09:34 |
| ouyes | rww, thanks | 09:34 |
| archboxman | read there are some adware that change the cursour color | 09:34 |
| brand0n | i installed this script from gnome-look.org avconvert its pretty neat | 09:34 |
| SolarisBoy | brand0n: yes for the task it completes i use it | 09:34 |

| llutz | pat|nG: fix it | 09:35 |
| ouyes | rww, and ouyes to the place? | 09:35 |
| SolarisBoy | brand0n: they have lots of cool ones online even some for flash --> mp3 (quality not awesome) | 09:35 |
| elgh | archboxman: Shouldn't be any adaware in a fresh installed computer, should it? | 09:35 |
| rww | ouyes: if you want it to highlight you when someone says "ouyes". yes | 09:35 |
| elgh | archboxman: And it's not just the cursor... It's a big green square... | 09:35 |
| SolarisBoy | usually can be accomplished in one line from command line | 09:35 |
| ouyes | rww, no i want to highlight the word i typed | 09:36 |
| pat|nG | llutz: that's why i'm here coz i dnt know how to fix it! dnt be so rude bro | 09:36 |
| ouyes | rww, i mean anyplace has related to ouyes | 09:36 |
| archboxman | elgh: no damage to screen is it bad pixells???? | 09:36 |
| rww | ouyes: then put that in there... | 09:36 |

| duncan-nz | New Question: I suddenly can't mount one of my partitions. 'sudo mount -a' says "mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /home/duncan/storage busy" but I can't access the files at either location. When I comment out the line in fstab and try to mount from cli I get "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 32: mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/c3491a67-4c06-4bab-8bc7-56d1d0164b11 busy". What's going on? | 09:36 |
| elgh | archboxman: Quite new screen, no bad pixels at all. Nothing is wrong except the cursor... | 09:37 |
| SolarisBoy | duncan-nz: are you in that directory its mounted to? | 09:37 |
| pog | how can I use nautilius sftp:// under lxde (gnome is isntalled, but nautilus seem's to need a gnome-service, which ist noch started under lxde: | 09:37 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, (great film, the original solaris) Nope. | 09:37 |
| SolarisBoy | duncan-nz: fuser and lsof commands may help to show whats using the mount | 09:37 |
| brand0n | SolarisBoy, i just converted a file into a DVD MPEG or whatever with ffmpeg, how would i burn that into a dvd that can be read in a dvd player? | 09:38 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, I'll have a look at them. Thanks. | 09:38 |
| SolarisBoy | brand0n: one sec ill let you know the steps i have them notated,, think i actually have a link,, theres a few approaches,,, | 09:38 |
| brand0n | thank you :) | 09:38 |
| archboxman | elgh: with all these setup changes I would have to say it is a diver conflit?? You need to reload ubuntu with out all the changes.. May I ask why you went this route with your install in the first place??? | 09:38 |
| llutz | brand0n: dvdauthor + mkisofs | 09:38 |
| airtonix | pog, are you using sftp:// or ssh:// | 09:38 |
| SolarisBoy | but generally from DVD MPEG.. need to just mkisofs | 09:38 |
| SolarisBoy | or like llutz said =) | 09:38 |
| archboxman | diver= driver | 09:39 |
| ouyes | hi | 09:39 |

| ouyes | rww, no i and ouyes to here, but still no highlight | 09:39 |
| airtonix | pog, might be that you just need to to type ssh:// instead | 09:39 |
| llutz | pat|nG: sry no www here | 09:39 |
| coz_ | brand0n, I believe the app mandvd can do that | 09:39 |
| brand0n | ok thank you | 09:40 |
| elgh | elgh: The reason I had to use alternate install was because if I use regular install CD I can't see anything... The screen is blank. Can't load live CD either. | 09:40 |
| pog | and ftp:/ and so on, but doesn't seem to work. o.k. I try ssh:// | 09:40 |
| coz_ | brand0n, although I have never used it so research it first | 09:40 |

| ouyes | airtonix, i am in xchat, i want to highlight my words in my window | 09:45 |
| archboxman | elgh: if your loading a different driver then you video card is renderer for this is a issue and will show up in other areas besides just a mouse color and a few blocks of green... Just try running some games and this will show a big weakness | 09:45 |

| airtonix | ouyes, xchat window : settings > advanced > text events >>> scroll to > "Your Message" | 09:47 |
| archboxman | elgh: that video card is the exact reason... something is not pointing out if xorg.conf file is holding on to old issues from a different cofiguration may be the weakness ... as well as xorg.conf is a confg file with no real double check of a system as you pointed out with this install... | 09:48 |

| pat|nG | and then he try to tell me go and fixed it? | 09:49 |
| pat|nG | how can i fix it if i don't know how to do it | 09:49 |
| * airtonix smells rage | 09:49 | |
| pat|nG | he's rude | 09:49 |
| pat|nG | don't be so rude llu | 09:49 |
| pat|nG | be patient | 09:49 |
| Myrtti | pat|nG: seriously, if you've got an issue with someone, you don't need to vent it here | 09:49 |
| SolarisBoy | !patience | 09:50 |
| ubottu | 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. | 09:50 |

| magn3ts | Dear #ubuntu. I would like an Ubuntu derivative that will allow me to use thunar seemlessly, have a very lightweight overhead for menus as I plan on using awn-navigator and not touching GNOME as much as possible. Is there a distro like this? | 09:50 |
| coz_ | pat|nG, its understandable ...especially when new...to get frustrated when answers are not always immediate...however...everyone here works for free for many hours...so a little patience goes a long way :) | 09:50 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, I didn't find anything useful. According to fuser that uuid was not found in /media (where the other command said it was already mounted). And I found nothing with lsof to suggest that there was already a connection. But I went back and reinserted the line in fstab, ran sudo mount -a again and now it works. The fstab line is just "UUID=c3491a67-4c06-4bab-8bc7-56d1d0164b11 /home/duncan/storage ext3 users 0 1" do you see anything wro | 09:50 |
| duncan-nz | ng with that? | 09:50 |
| pat|nG | i can wait for hours but tell me "fix it urself" is not acceptable for a new starter! | 09:50 |
| archboxman | elgh: I will look at it , but again no system is designed at this time to hold the xorg.conf accountable for data entry or retrival | 09:50 |
| pat|nG | awkie now! sorry! i'll stop! i'm cool! | 09:51 |
| coz_ | pat|nG, I am not saying wait for hours I am saying many here stay online for many many hours...and yes "fix it yourself" is not acceptable | 09:51 |
| llutz | pat|nG: why don't you read all what i wrote? | 09:51 |
| duncan-nz | pat|nG, actually, unless you've got paid for support you can't demand anything from a group of volunteers. Please remember that and be polite. | 09:51 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: how do you update the database in ubuntu?? | 09:51 |

| SolarisBoy | archboxman: what database updatedb? | 09:51 |
| SolarisBoy | duncan-nz: depends looking.. | 09:51 |
| pat|nG | duncan-nz u don't know what polite is.....so stop it..i'm cool | 09:52 |
| SolarisBoy | so removing that line and adding it right back fixed it duncan-nz ? | 09:52 |
| SolarisBoy | are you sure were no issue with the line that were corrected ? | 09:52 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: update the files in ubuntu to make sure you get the latest update of programs from the apt-get database | 09:53 |
| SolarisBoy | apt-get update | 09:53 |
| sarah31 | hi everyone i have question use ubuntu etc and want to check my laptop ip adress and when type ifconfig im getting info inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xx.xx.xx.xx Mask:255.255.255.0 my question is, inet adrr is that my laptop ip? or my isp ip or my router ip what is inet adrr? | 09:53 |
| zen_master_soso | Anyone want to help with getting NetworkManager to work with fluxbox? 1) Gnome sessions still ask for a password for the default keyring. 2) fluxbox sessions seem to have no way to "ask", because services are started out of order. Interested? | 09:53 |
| airtonix | ouyes, that entry is exactly what you want, also you'll notice from other entries in that list you can prefix sections with something like : %C22 to change the colour of text following it | 09:53 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: apt-get update | 09:53 |
| moborobo | hi | 09:53 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, that's right! Palimset said there was a problem with the partition, and gparted said it couldn't mount it. But now palimpset says it's clean, it's reasonably new. | 09:53 |
| airtonix | ouyes, ie i'm using this now : %C22%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O%C30$t%C12$2 | 09:53 |
| SolarisBoy | duncan-nz: is it a windows partiton? | 09:54 |
| rww | sarah31: inet adrr is the internal IP address used between your laptop and your router. It isn't your public internet address. | 09:54 |

| archboxman | elgh: run a apt-get update | 09:54 |
| elgh | archboxman: Yes? | 09:54 |
| zen_master_soso | Looking for someone who understands the NetworkManager, nm-system-settings, gnome-keyring-daemon, maybe wpa_supplicant.... | 09:55 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, no, it's ext3. but it's mounted by windows using ext2fs. I went there and did a new shut down to see if it had some 'open lines' but that didn't seem to make any difference. I suspecting though that the driver didn't let go? | 09:55 |
| elgh | archboxman: Did that. | 09:55 |
| SolarisBoy | duncan-nz: possible ,, in that case can remove and load the module. | 09:55 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, "went there" = "booted into windows" | 09:55 |
| archboxman | elgh: do apt-get autoremove | 09:56 |

| ArchMage | anyone have this problem or know the solutions? | 09:56 |
| ArchMage | s/s// | 09:56 |
| SolarisBoy | when you did fuser or lsof you used sudo right> | 09:56 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, ext2fs only runs on windows. So I can't touch it from *nix | 09:56 |
| SolarisBoy | ? | 09:56 |
| SolarisBoy | oh | 09:56 |
| ArchMage | it seems to have placed it in my ~/.themes folder | 09:56 |
| SolarisBoy | well i dont think any driver thats loaded in a windows os has a process or handle on any device when your booted into linux | 09:57 |
| SolarisBoy | chkdsk or fsck the actual drive maybe | 09:57 |
| duncan-nz | SolarisBoy, I didn't use sudo for lsof or fuser. Of course I should have thought to. I'll remember that fro next time. I agree that running fsck is probably smart. Thanks for the help. | 09:58 |

| theadmin | brand0n: How about trying "man any2dvd"? | 10:10 |
| SolarisBoy | it may not have a man... | 10:11 |
| brand0n | theadmin - how about i already tried that, and im not talking to you | 10:11 |

| theadmin | brand0n: Well, you need support, huh? So... | 10:11 |
| SolarisBoy | brand0n: depends on what the defaults are,, | 10:11 |

| magn3ts | anybody got any idea what font this : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=dust-gtk-thumbnail.jpg | 10:26 |
| elgh | archboxman: Sorry, have to go now. :( Are you online here often? | 10:26 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: Even i installed nvidia driver for my card, nothing change in that :( | 10:26 |
| archboxman | bullgard4: did you find this firefox cache??? | 10:26 |
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: are your drivers up to date and you not running any extra screen compositing or such? | 10:26 |
| alankila | [J]ustin: the short of it is this: "screen program" runs program in screen. The control character ctrl-a and d detaches the session. "screen -x" resumes a detached session. But you really want to read the manual to know more than this. | 10:26 |
| zen_master_soso | rileyp: your guess is as good as mine. i just learned about event.d recently. | 10:26 |
| elgh | archboxman: I got nvidia-glx-180 installed. | 10:26 |
| archboxman | elgh: yes usually in archlinux | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | anyone know why every now and then (pretty much once a day) when I start up my client machine the server refuses access to the nfs mounts until I restart nfs-kernel-server? | 10:26 |
| SolarisBoy | i thought screen -r was resume? | 10:26 |
| elgh | archboxman: Will see you another time then. :) What country are you from? | 10:26 |
| kinja-sheep | magn3ts: Install Dust-GTK Theme and find out? | 10:26 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: i sure, its 173.XX version and no composite things... | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | I'm getting mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.1/mountPoint | 10:27 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: Sans Bold | 10:27 |
| archboxman | elgh: america | 10:27 |
| magn3ts | kinja-sheep, doesn't come with the font | 10:27 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, if thats the case, any idea what font patches/modifications have taken palce/ | 10:27 |
| elgh | archboxman: See you later! | 10:27 |
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: try prstat command | 10:27 |
| archboxman | elgh: lived in 40 out of 50 states | 10:27 |
| rileyp | zen_master_soso what folder is event.d meant to be in? | 10:27 |
| SolarisBoy | while your experiencing the issue | 10:27 |
| archboxman | elgh: later | 10:27 |
| * magn3ts apologizes for his atrocious keyboarding | 10:27 | |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: okay | 10:27 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: I don't know, i use this theme, it says that it's sans bold %) | 10:27 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, but do your fonts look like the ones in the screenshot? | 10:28 |
| rileyp | zen_master_soso as I cant find it Im using mythbuntu karmic | 10:28 |
| xfact | Hello | 10:28 |
| xfact | WOW! | 10:28 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: is that correct command? | 10:28 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: I can send you a screenshot | 10:28 |
| zen_master_soso | Here's my challenge: I want to make a browser only kiosk out of my netbook (for guests). But I want to have a regular user and gnome session as well. How would YOU do this? | 10:28 |
| SolarisBoy | yes is your $PATH correct? | 10:28 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, I'll tke your word for it | 10:28 |
| alankila | SolarisBoy: well, -r also works. I happen to use -x, but it just allows multiple attachings to same session, I suppose... I have used -x for a decade by this point :) | 10:28 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: I'm not quite sure actually | 10:28 |
| brand0n | SolarisBoy, is there a way to make isos with tovid | 10:28 |
| SolarisBoy | alankila: nice =) im rather new to screening | 10:29 |
| brand0n | or does it only make them into mpg | 10:29 |

| theadmin | magn3ts: Here, take a look http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot.png | 10:29 |
| SolarisBoy | brand0n: i think tovid has that option.. its simply a collection of other tools used to accomplish the task of file to vid | 10:29 |
| rumpsy | brb, i get suggestions later | 10:29 |
| SolarisBoy | try tovidgui package | 10:29 |
| zen_master_soso | rileyp: you seriously need to research how ubuntu is doing power management. it seems that things change quite a bit, and some of the stuff you are looking at (/etc/default/acpi.support) MIGHT be deprecated | 10:29 |
| brand0n | ok | 10:29 |
| xfact | Avast antivirus just found a VIRUS on my Ubuntu, virus name is: 'HTML:IFrame-II [trj]' | 10:30 |
| aftertaf | SolarisBoy: yes it does have that ISO function too, can't remember off hand where but part of the suite | 10:30 |
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: give me a sec.. maybe not on opensolaris,, =) i may be confusing things with solaris vs open solaris | 10:30 |
| archboxman | bullgard4: found it go to firefox type in about:cache will show you were it is stored on your computer | 10:30 |
| aftertaf | xfact: O_o | 10:30 |
| xfact | and everyone was telling that ubuntu has no virus! | 10:30 |
| SolarisBoy | im almost abosolutely sure prstat should be there though | 10:30 |

| rileyp | jamie or karmic update gone bad which happened to me constant ata read errors frezzing pc | 10:32 |
| zen_master_soso | rileyp: that's correct. you have to do more research. your problem is interesting, but nothing I've had to deal with before. I'm putting off digging into power management for now. | 10:33 |
| rileyp | ok | 10:33 |
| theadmin | c_nick: You have to be root | 10:33 |
| SolarisBoy | aaction script 3.0? | 10:33 |
| bullgard4 | archboxman: "11:30 < archboxma> bullgard4: found it go to firefox type in about:cache will show you were it is stored on your computer" I know that already. I have put a different question. | 10:33 |

| brand0n | just wish i could have the option of nomenu | 10:34 |

| archboxman | how different missed the viewer part hold on | 10:34 |
| SolarisBoy | bullgard4: i just installed it | 10:35 |
| xfact | anyone can please suggest me what should I do whit those 'virus' files? | 10:35 |
| theadmin | xfact: There are no viruses on ubuntu :/ | 10:35 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: i dought thats accurate or a correct perception.. | 10:35 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: if you don't mind, here they mentioned my issue, since my card is nvidia fx5200, i'm facing this same problem, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xcb/+bug/88815 | 10:35 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: are you sure have't scanned a windows partition available to ubuntu? | 10:35 |
| SolarisBoy | but thats an ubuntu thread no? | 10:36 |
| xfact | <theadmin> Avast anntivirus for linux, catching lots of viruses, I can show you the screenshot! | 10:36 |
| rumpsy | yes, SolarisBoy | 10:36 |
| brand0n | xfact avast is a terrible antivirus | 10:36 |
| SolarisBoy | they make avast for linux? | 10:36 |
| jamie | rileyp maybe lol | 10:36 |
| brand0n | its propably a false positive | 10:36 |
| theadmin | xfact: Those are Windows viruses. It secures your computer from those, so you don't infect Windows comps | 10:36 |
| kinja-sheep | xfact: I want to see the nifty screenshots! | 10:36 |
| xfact | Solarisboy: yes, I am only using Ubuntu, no relation with Windows, I don't even use Windows programs via Wine! | 10:37 |
| rileyp | jamie why is this funny | 10:37 |
| brand0n | its a false positive most likely xfact | 10:37 |
| brand0n | avast isnt very good | 10:37 |
| SolarisBoy | hmm well theadmin is likely right | 10:37 |
| brand0n | and like they said, no viruses in ubuntu | 10:37 |

| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: also thats in regards to using metacity which you said you aren't using right?> | 10:37 |
| jamie | rileyp i just feel like a noob saying maybe to such a simple question | 10:37 |
| kinja-sheep | xfact: http://imagebin.ca/ | 10:38 |
| archboxman | bullgard4: its a firefox add-on | 10:38 |
| brand0n | dont even worry about it xfact | 10:38 |
| rww | xfact: The Linux version of Avast will detect viruses that only work on Windows. Everyone says that Linux isn't generally /infected/ by viruses, not that you can't physically download them onto it. | 10:38 |
| jamie | rileyp just ignore it and what do you suggest? | 10:38 |
| rumpsy | yes, SolarisBoy | 10:38 |
| rileyp | i am noob to so dont sweat | 10:38 |
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: try running upgrade on all packages on your system | 10:38 |
| dahlia | I have ubuntu 9.10 x32 desktop running in a virtual box guest and I have the guest additions installed. How do I tell ubuntu to use 32 bit graphics? I am able to use the enhanced appearance effects and I have the 3d acceleration enabled and it seems to work, I just need 32 bit graphics | 10:38 |

| SolarisBoy | ok | 10:39 |
| theadmin | Hm. It takes "chmod 666 somefile" but doesn't like "chmod rw-rw-rw somefile", what's the prob here | 10:39 |

| SolarisBoy | i never use octal =) | 10:39 |
| llutz | always use octal :) | 10:40 |
| jamie | rileyp so what do you suggest? | 10:40 |
| archboxman | bullgard4: its a firefox add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2489 | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | archboxman: Yes. SolarisBoy has told me before. | 10:40 |
| theadmin | llutz: I always use numbers %) | 10:40 |
| SolarisBoy | llutz: thats what they say ;> | 10:40 |
| rileyp | jamie can you boot to a command prompt? | 10:40 |
| rileyp | that is suggestion | 10:40 |
| jamie | and do what in it? | 10:40 |
| rileyp | type dmesg | 10:40 |
| SolarisBoy | yea i just installed it guys just for kicks,, ill likely remove it soon =) | 10:40 |
| theadmin | rileyp: "command prompt" is a windows thing. It's terminal. | 10:40 |
| llutz | theadmin: octal-numbers are easier to handle, imho | 10:40 |
| bullgard4 | SolarisBoy: Thank you very much for your information and your help. | 10:40 |
| jamie | i typed that into the console but i dont really know what i am looking for | 10:41 |

| xfact | Solaris boy: then I can easily delete it! | 10:43 |
| jamie | rileyp so im still confused on what im looking for | 10:43 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: that even | 10:43 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, I'm jealous :( | 10:43 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: Huh? | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: on reboot it likely will be rebooted automagically | 10:44 |
| rileyp | jamie you might be better off doing clean install and then doing a backup then updateing | 10:44 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, sorry, I just looked at your screenshot of your fonts | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: or when that cache expires it will be overwritten even | 10:44 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: there are to many gadgets in firefox | 10:44 |
| theadmin | magn3ts: Oh... hm... Don't you have them? Dust theme is built-in to Karmic, AFAIR, and all fonts too | 10:44 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: its very likely its just a site with a Iframe present and the scan is reading as something wrong... | 10:44 |
| rileyp | jamie you are looking for item s that get repeated repetedely | 10:45 |
| magn3ts | theadmin, Idk. I've got sans obviously, it just doesn't look as nice is all | 10:45 |
| jamie | rileyp hmm... but this is pretty much a clean install, only installed about an hour ago | 10:45 |
| rileyp | eg ata read error | 10:45 |
| SolarisBoy | xfact: again check the scan heuristics aren't way high on paranoid levels or you will get things like this often | 10:45 |
| rileyp | jamie but by the sound your update went bad do you multiple kernals to boot from | 10:45 |

| Zeedox | Hi, where are Rhythmbox ratings stored? | 10:49 |

| rileyp | asicam you in wrong place | 10:49 |
| llutz | ojo: why not? you don't need to have partitions | 10:49 |
| SolarisBoy | Guest29987: depends | 10:49 |
| Zeedox | I've searched forever after information on the net, but nothing useful has come up | 10:49 |
| kinja-sheep | Guest29987: I doubt it. I think it occurs after htat. | 10:49 |
| SolarisBoy | Guest29987: do when the fs check is running actually no | 10:49 |
| theadmin | esicam: Do not repeat, if nobody knows, nobody will answer... JFGI. | 10:50 |
| rww | ojo: /dev/sdb1 would refer to the first partition on /dev/sdb. Since you formatted the whole disk, not a partition, you just use /dev/sdb. | 10:50 |
| laughzilla | i suppose as long as i only have 2gb of ram there's really no point to install the 64-bit version. | 10:50 |

| archboxman | SolarisBoy: If you have trusted servers no need if your using untrusted repositories then apt-get is the way to go | 10:58 |
| SolarisBoy | vianocturna85: you used MS access as a site frontend? | 10:58 |
| vianocturna85 | mysql is gonna be running, but there has been a request to create a program that connects to it for maintaining the info in MS Access, this seems illogical to me | 10:59 |
| SolarisBoy | ahh i see | 10:59 |
| SolarisBoy | i would use perl.. | 10:59 |
| archboxman | vianocturna85: can use playonlinux in ubuntu and load ms access | 10:59 |
| SolarisBoy | i've done this with excel sheets --> Mysql --> site frontend | 10:59 |
| alankila | I have nearly decade of experience with Perl. My advice would be to not use any time with that language. | 10:59 |
| SolarisBoy | alankila: hmm i beg to differ | 11:00 |
| alankila | There's got to be something much simpler and better working than Perl. | 11:00 |
| vianocturna85 | I might sound dumb, but is this usuable on Windows too? | 11:00 |
| SolarisBoy | alankila: to import MS access data to MySQL? | 11:00 |
| archboxman | why I didn't write playonlinux or wine | 11:00 |
| nyaa | If you didn't like perl perhaps you might be interested in trying pokemon ruby on rails? | 11:00 |
| SolarisBoy | that would be very simple in perl | 11:00 |
| alankila | SolarisBoy: I assume generally for nearly any task -- it is possible that perl is still the best choice for oneliners, though. | 11:00 |
| === luke is now known as NET||abuse | ||
| SolarisBoy | alankila: my complete company aside from hardware related things runs on perl/java | 11:01 |
| SolarisBoy | things work fairly well | 11:01 |
| vianocturna85 | i was hoping that its easy like Access in creating rather than pure programming | 11:01 |
| SolarisBoy | well you can export data in access correct | 11:02 |
| SolarisBoy | ? | 11:02 |
| vianocturna85 | yeah | 11:02 |
| SolarisBoy | if you can get stuff to csv then sure,, Mysql can load that... | 11:02 |
| SolarisBoy | the table structures and data types should be validated at some point (perl) but.. heh | 11:02 |
| vianocturna85 | well ill give it a shot, thanks for all ya input | 11:02 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: no gui for perl??? | 11:02 |
| SolarisBoy | for programming perl? or gui interface to perl.. on the first,, vi? is all i can think the second no | 11:03 |
| NET||abuse | hey folks, i have a usb headset plugged in, problem is if i turn volume down in ubuntu below 30% ish.. not sure exactly, the headphones just cut out, i get no volume if i go below what is actually already quite loud! | 11:03 |
| NET||abuse | anyone exxperienced this/ | 11:03 |
| NET||abuse | i end up having to reduce the volume on each application individually, which is a pain. | 11:04 |
| SolarisBoy | you can interactively use the perl language in perl typing in commands for output but no gui interface to it... | 11:04 |
| rileyp | net abuse type alsamixer and look at all your settings | 11:05 |
| Freds | hi need help with setting up irc on ubuntu please. | 11:05 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Imagine if there was a perl interface u would get a dumbed down version anyways not all the features of just doing perl language and timing commands | 11:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: irc is a protocol are you trying to setup a client application to connect to a irc server or are you setting up a irc server? | 11:06 |
| Freds | im on my other os on my computer | 11:06 |
| Freds | i need to set up irc on ubuntu so i can then try and solve my wireless issue | 11:06 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: i use vi for all my perling but that would be nice i guess at some point | 11:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: try Xchat to set up irc quickly | 11:07 |
| SolarisBoy | i think its installed default | 11:07 |
| rww | Freds: There's a list of Ubuntu's IRC clients, and instructions for some of them (the ones with clickable names) at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC%20Clients | 11:07 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, i am a complete noob with this | 11:07 |
| archboxman | Freds: chatzilla for firefox addon simple as it comes | 11:07 |
| mamooli | can i use this syntax? | 11:08 |
| Freds | ive tryed to install xchat with some code with apt-get | 11:08 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: thats cool xchat is fairly smooth for a beginner as well its what i used too at one point also check rww link | 11:08 |
| SolarisBoy | there are other choices there | 11:08 |
| Freds | i think my install is mucked up or somthing | 11:08 |
| Freds | because every guide just doesnt work | 11:08 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: I use irssi works great :) | 11:08 |
| mfroehle | hi leute | 11:08 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: me too =) | 11:08 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: so you just want to get online? | 11:09 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: rather get on irc channels? | 11:09 |
| Freds | i know what im doing on irc just dont know what im doing on ubuntu | 11:09 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: chatzilla is as easy as it gets | 11:09 |
| Freds | i have no clue how to install | 11:09 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: point and click | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: check on your menu in the internet section... | 11:10 |
| Freds | yes | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: look for the IRC program installed by default open it and let me know what you see.. | 11:10 |
| Freds | there was no irc there | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: is that system online? | 11:10 |
| Freds | yea but i will have to switch os on this computer | 11:10 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok first go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC%20Clients | 11:11 |
| SolarisBoy | like rww showed and check to see which client you would like then we can help you install or set it up and get connected... | 11:11 |
| rww | Freds: for a basic start, you could visit http://webchat.freenode.net/ in your web browser on Ubuntu, put in a nickname and the #ubuntu channel, and that'll get you in here in your web browser so we can help you figure out Xchat :) | 11:11 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, btw, bugs are reported at launchpad.net | 11:11 |
| Yerushalmi | *nod* | 11:12 |
| Freds | oki ill check it out now SolarisBoy | 11:12 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok see rww comment as well | 11:12 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: check this out http://webchat.freenode.net | 11:12 |
| Yerushalmi | Is anybody available to help me out with a hibernate problem? | 11:12 |
| Freds | thats what i need ;) ok ill switch os and plug into wired | 11:12 |
| Freds | brb | 11:12 |
| SolarisBoy | k | 11:12 |
| mange | I'm new here. I have Intel G33 graphics, 1680x1050, My installation with Ubuntu 9.10 cant identify the resolution. | 11:13 |
| rumpsy | freds, if you are freak, give a try to irssi | 11:13 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: i use chatzilla couple of times,, irssi is my fave | 11:13 |
| === user is now known as Guest26402 | ||
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: not good for a beginner | 11:13 |
| rumpsy | ;) | 11:13 |
| SolarisBoy | ;> | 11:13 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: stick with irssi all the way | 11:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | in koala where do I find the menu.lst file? | 11:14 |
| SolarisBoy | yea all the way.. only thing is the xmpp support is kinda shady... | 11:14 |
| mamooli | is this syntax correct? $this['key'] when i have used Arrayaccess? | 11:14 |
| om26er | !grub2 | Pirate_Hunter | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Pirate_Hunter: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:14 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: its hard to read AS3 :( . . but i have to give a paper presentation on it | 11:14 |
| justinas__ | Hi, i have problems with built-in microphone on my laptop with ubuntu karmic. When i increased mic volume with alsamixer, it partly works - i hear myself, but any program cant record the sound. In sound manager, there is no area called "connector", to change it | 11:15 |
| SolarisBoy | mamooli: in which language? | 11:15 |
| justinas__ | any solutions? | 11:15 |
| SolarisBoy | rumpsy: action script? | 11:15 |
| rumpsy | SolarisBoy: yes | 11:15 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: its a bit fuzzy in irssi | 11:15 |
| Yerushalmi | Any time I select hibernate, the computer goes through all the motions of preparing to hibernate, the screen goes dark - and then nothing happens. If I activated hibernate through console, console comes back up; if through the menu or the power button, it leaves the screen blank until the mouse is touched, bringing up the login screen | 11:15 |
| SolarisBoy | in perl yes but you can lose the single quotes on the array index... | 11:15 |
| om26er | !ot | 11:15 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:16 |
| mamooli | SolarisBoy: I am really sorry, i thought i am in ##php | 11:16 |
| SolarisBoy | mamooli: oh =) | 11:16 |
| Yerushalmi | Originally I was told that this was due to having a smaller swap file than memory, but I've since opened up a 6-gig swap file and it changed nothing. | 11:16 |
| rumpsy | hey guys, its was for fun, don't use IRSSI as a beginner, its a request | 11:16 |
| llutz | Yerushalmi: swap-file? | 11:17 |
| llutz | Yerushalmi: afaik hibernation only works on swap-partitions | 11:17 |
| Yerushalmi | That's what I meant. | 11:17 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy: ok im on my ubuntu now | 11:17 |
| * Yerushalmi has been out of computers for far too long. | 11:18 | |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok can you double check the internet menu for a irc client? | 11:18 |
| Freds | what do you mean? SolarisBoy | 11:18 |
| Yerushalmi | llutz: I even tried installing ubuntu on my 16gigabyte flash drive, 10 gig for the program and 6gig for a swap partition, and it still didn't work | 11:18 |
| SolarisBoy | in the top menu bar in the main gnome or kde menu can you go to internet sub menu and check to see if you have an irc installed? | 11:19 |
| SolarisBoy | just for kicks | 11:19 |
| Yerushalmi | So now I have two ubuntu installations available on my computer, one on the hard drive and one on the flash drive. Both can use that swap partition, and neither can hibernate. | 11:19 |
| Yerushalmi | I only have 900 megs of ram. | 11:19 |
| Freds | i still dont understand you, ive only had ubuntu for 3 days (which i have spent searching google for help) | 11:19 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: lol ok.. on your desktop do you have like a menu type bar on top and on bottom? | 11:20 |
| === VoX is now known as vox | ||
| Freds | at the top SolarisBoy | 11:20 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: on the very left is there like a icon that looks clickable? | 11:20 |
| Freds | yea | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | is it a foot? | 11:21 |
| Newky | Freds: do u no how to get to a terminal? | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | =) | 11:21 |
| Freds | nope its the ubuntu sign | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | ok cool so try clicking | 11:21 |
| Freds | yea i understand how to get into terminal | 11:21 |
| Freds | it just opens applications | 11:21 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: you can do this from terminal i just thought gui would be easier for you | 11:21 |
| Newky | Freds: goto terminal and type in sudo apt-get install xchat | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | or dpkg -l | grep xchat first | 11:22 |
| Newky | and then jus goto the main menu->internet->xchat sorted | 11:22 |
| iflema | Freds then install this package bcmwl-kernel-source then in the desktop menu System / Administration / Hardware Drivers and activate then TaDa! wifi... BCM4312 right? | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | it should be installed no? | 11:22 |
| om26er | Newky, please suggest people to use software center (if some one is new) | 11:22 |
| Freds | E: Couldn't find package xchat SolarisBoy Newky | 11:22 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: that isn't the name... | 11:23 |
| om26er | sudo apt-get update | 11:23 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: try this 'apt-cache search xchat' | 11:23 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy: it didnt do anything | 11:23 |
| SolarisBoy | try sudo apt-get update | 11:24 |
| SolarisBoy | then try that | 11:24 |
| theadmin | Freds: Try installing xchat-gnome package | 11:24 |
| Freds | ok looks liek its downloading somthing SolarisBoy | 11:24 |
| SolarisBoy | theadmin: thats the name =) | 11:24 |
| SolarisBoy | but xchat should also point to it | 11:25 |
| Freds | ok its done now SolarisBoy | 11:25 |
| SolarisBoy | being he only had it on for 3 days im wonder if he ever did this initial update.. | 11:25 |
| SolarisBoy | do you have an orange icon in your tool bar saying you have updates pending? | 11:25 |
| sjohnson | Q: how come Ubuntu 9.10 (AMD64) won't install Flash player form youtube? | 11:25 |
| sjohnson | from* | 11:26 |
| Freds | nope SolarisBoy | 11:26 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: either or try the 'apt-cache search xchat' without the qoutes | 11:26 |
| docmax | hello, i need a way to quickly start my favourite applications... any programms/docks? | 11:26 |
| theadmin | sjohnson: 64-bit version might not have a flash player. | 11:26 |
| SolarisBoy | then try sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome | 11:26 |
| sjohnson | theadmin: is there a simple way to just get it to work to play youtube? | 11:27 |
| om26er | sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install xchat | 11:27 |
| theadmin | docmax: Avant. | 11:27 |
| SolarisBoy | i think you just need to link the library so firefox knows to use the 32 bit version... | 11:27 |
| Freds | wow SolarisBoy ur the first person who has actually got results L | 11:27 |
| rww | ubottu: flash64 | sjohnson | 11:27 |

| archboxman | SolarisBoy: what happened to all the pretty picture user guides for ubuntu??? | 11:28 |
| maveas | A good guide on how to setup wlan0 as AP and then bridge the traffic to my ppp0? | 11:28 |
| sjohnson | ubottu: many thanks | 11:28 |

| llutz | maveas: does your wifi-driver support ap-mode? | 11:28 |
| maveas | Sure | 11:29 |

| SolarisBoy | thts why i started using delicous =) | 11:29 |
| maveas | Thanks llutz | 11:29 |
| SolarisBoy | my links/bookmarks follow me every where | 11:29 |
| sjohnson | rww: by the way, I only have 2GB ram. should I just use the 32-bit version instead? | 11:29 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: was just looking for ones with really big pictures for fred | 11:30 |
| SolarisBoy | -) | 11:30 |
| === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa | ||
| === freds_ is now known as Freds | ||
| rww | sjohnson: Either would work. 64-bit doesn't offer much in the way of performance benefits, so it might be easier for you to use 32-bit. | 11:30 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, ok its sorted now | 11:30 |
| Freds | now onto the main problem | 11:30 |
| koe | Hi guys ... | 11:30 |
| iflema | sjohnson get this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz remove all other install versions.. if any, make a folder /home/[username]/.mozilla/plugings and extract it there... then (re)start firefox... | 11:30 |
| theadmin | hi, koe | 11:30 |
| SolarisBoy | i think we should use 64 bit when we have the chance | 11:31 |
| SolarisBoy | =) | 11:31 |
| koe | any one knows a good programming channel ? | 11:31 |
| SolarisBoy | hes right though at 2 Gb not much perf gain | 11:31 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: sweet | 11:31 |
| sjohnson | rww: one last question... i am using Ubuntu defaults as far as the window manager / gnome goes. and i have found that it is tedious to resize windows because you have to move your mouse with pixel-fine accuracy | 11:31 |
| theadmin | koe: What language for? | 11:31 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, i need to connect to my router via wireless | 11:31 |
| llutz | SolarisBoy: but also no loss | 11:31 |
| koe | C | 11:31 |
| theadmin | koe: ##C | 11:31 |
| SolarisBoy | llutz: true which is why i say use 64 | 11:31 |
| sjohnson | rww: ... on the corners of the windows. ie: bottom-right | 11:31 |
| archboxman | iwconfig | 11:32 |
| SolarisBoy | cause you then have that option if you do decide to use that extra memory and its applicable to your mobo | 11:32 |
| koe | theadmin: thx :) | 11:32 |
| rww | sjohnson: Yeah, it is rather tedious. I don't have a solution for it, unfortunately, though someone else in the channel might. | 11:32 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok and you have a wireless adapter installed or builtin correct? | 11:32 |
| Freds | i have my wireless card built in | 11:33 |
| koe | why cant I send ? ##C :Cannot send to channel | 11:33 |
| sjohnson | gonna try the 32-bit version instead thanks | 11:33 |
| theadmin | koe: Type the following: /join ##C | 11:33 |
| archboxman | network manager should be able to get the wifi card going | 11:34 |
| SolarisBoy | ok and its enabled? you are likely using network manager so i believe you can simply either right click the network manager icon enable networking, then click the icon and find your network,, or just find your network by clicking the icon if the wireless is already enabled | 11:34 |
| SolarisBoy | this can all be done from command line as well | 11:34 |
| koe | I did | 11:34 |
| koe | but ... I get this message back ##C :Cannot send to channel | 11:34 |
| Freds | what command should i type to see if its enabled? | 11:34 |
| theadmin | koe: Uh... strange... Works fine here. | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | koe: maybe is becouse you are not registered | 11:35 |
| halo | hey if ur a programmer/coder/cracker then check out my setup @ irc.6667.eu (ssl available) #spyd0r were looking to expand our team | 11:35 |
| SolarisBoy | well you can simply right click the manager and see if the wireless networking check box is checked... | 11:35 |
| SolarisBoy | if not you can check it | 11:35 |
| koe | hmm ... i`m not registered where can I ? | 11:35 |

| _Bart_ | KrisKo, yes I deleted the default one but it isn't recreated... | 11:38 |

| zen_master_soso | speaking of wireless networking. people recommend wicd. I'd like to try it, but I'm terribly frightened giving up NetworkManager. I'm afraid that I'm going to be stuck reading manuals and editing files for the next 48 hours if things get screwed up, and I heard that wicd-cli has flying monkeys that come out and fly around your head for a while if you're not careful. Any suggestions for making the transition? | 11:41 |

| SolarisBoy | Freds: then are you sure the wireless is being turned on and off? or other than this possibly in debug.log the message is going | 11:43 |
| SolarisBoy | depends on syslog settings.. | 11:43 |
| theadmin | esicam: How are you doing it? | 11:43 |
| archboxman | Freds: what is the model on that dell inspirion | 11:43 |
| esicam | I downloaded uif2iso from synaptic manager | 11:43 |
| SolarisBoy | uif2iso works for me =) | 11:43 |
| esicam | <solarisboy>but it's not an application. It looks like plugin........ | 11:44 |
| Freds | archboxman, dell inspiron 1545 | 11:45 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Wireless now enabled by radio killswitch | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | esicam: nah | 11:45 |
| archboxman | Freds: ok want to look at hardware model thank you | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | esicam: Usage: uif2iso <input.UIF> <output> | 11:45 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: ok so now that its enabled try the same process of enabling it or checking for your network by clicking the net manager icon | 11:45 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, there is no network manager | 11:46 |
| esicam | <solarisboy> should i download from outside again? | 11:46 |
| theadmin | esicam: Run a terminal, type "uif2iso filename.uif filename.iso" | 11:46 |
| SolarisBoy | esicam: i think i just downloaded that,, it should be a binary package you just sit there and run i dont think it really installs anything.. just speculation... | 11:46 |
| Freds | i right click the sign on the taskbar and it says the same thing, enable networking, connection info, edit connection SolarisBoy | 11:46 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: odd sounds like it doesn't see your wireless card | 11:47 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: what does iwconfig say? | 11:47 |
| esicam | <solarisboy> you are right. Then what should i do? | 11:47 |
| SolarisBoy | do you have a wireless interface in up state? | 11:47 |
| Freds | l0 and eth0 SolarisBoy | 11:48 |
| SolarisBoy | esicam: google for the script online i recently downloaded it... | 11:48 |
| Freds | and no wireless extensions SolarisBoy | 11:48 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: i dont think your wireless is up or set up properly | 11:48 |
| koe | why cant I register | 11:48 |
| koe | ? | 11:48 |
| koe | I mean I get the "pm" | 11:48 |
| SolarisBoy | Freds: what type of chipset does this adapter use? | 11:48 |

| Myrtti | esicam: seriously, you were told several times to use a pastebin service | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | sena-: something like cannot munt rootfs ? or can not find init? you should make a bug report. de update breaks your initramfs/initrd | 11:53 |
| p0a | csaba, what is that? how do I do it? google doesn't help. | 11:53 |
| Myrtti | esicam: you open up a browser, type in paste.ubuntu.com, paste your stuff there and give us the url after pressing "submit" button | 11:53 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, it didnt do anything :o | 11:53 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: I see it to not good :( ,but that was with 9.04 | 11:53 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: I will look for a sulotion | 11:53 |
| sena- | erUSUL: the thing is I am not exatly shure what it is | 11:53 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: i see one 'solution' links back to the broadcom site... | 11:54 |
| Freds | SolarisBoy, archboxman, will this help? 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) | 11:54 |
| erUSUL | sena-: well if when yu update that package it braks you boot you know what to blame | 11:54 |
| csaba | p0a: right-click on your taskbar, press Add Panel | 11:54 |
| rww | Freds: oh hey, you have the same wifi card as me | 11:54 |
| Grge | one question when I add mount command into startup scripts will it be run as superuser ? | 11:54 |
| Freds | is that a good thing rww lol | 11:55 |
| csaba | p0a: select the Keyboard indicator | 11:55 |
| erUSUL | Freds: install b43-fwcutter while connected via wired (it dl the firmware) then do « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » | 11:55 |
| p0a | csaba, I did it! thanks :-] | 11:55 |
| p0a | Also, any way to change [] with ()? | 11:55 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: got that figured they were trying to pass the buck | 11:55 |
| erUSUL | Freds: check with « iwconfig » that you have a wlan0 interface with wireless extensions | 11:55 |
| csaba | p0a: huh? | 11:55 |
| sena- | erUSUL: yeah you are right what log files with the errors should I add to the bug report | 11:55 |
| rww | Freds: To get it working, I just plugged into ethernet, and did "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source". It grabbed everything automatically. | 11:55 |
| p0a | Ie I'd like X to "understand" ( when I hit [ | 11:55 |
| p0a | and vice versa | 11:55 |
| esicam | see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/366784/ | 11:56 |
| csaba | hmmm there is a way but it's probably complicated :) | 11:56 |
| rww | Freds: I'm busy elsewhere, didn't read scrollback, don't know if you did that already ) | 11:56 |
| sena- | erUSUL: and how do I create bug report is there a manual | 11:56 |
| SolarisBoy | rww: nope | 11:56 |
| SolarisBoy | rww: yours is a fresh one =) | 11:56 |
| Myrtti | esicam: so the image you try to convert is named as 1.uif? | 11:56 |
| elgh | archmanbox, missed me? :) | 11:56 |
| erUSUL | sena-: just say that with the new klibc packages the initramfs/initrd is invalid and does not moount your rootfs and you get a kernel panic | 11:56 |
| csaba | p0a: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1943304 | 11:56 |
| erUSUL | sena-: if they need more info they will request it | 11:56 |
| Freds | rww its installing stuff | 11:56 |
| Freds | gotta be a good sign right? | 11:56 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: got this solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1391931&highlight=dell+inspirion+1545 | 11:57 |
| rww | Freds: yep. At some point, b43-fwcutter might ask you if it can grab some stuff from the internet. You want to be plugged into ethernet so it can do that, and tell it it can. | 11:57 |
| rww | Freds: it might just go ahead and do it without asking, though. I forget. | 11:57 |
| Freds | im plug into eth0 right now | 11:57 |
| esicam | <myriti> yes | 11:58 |

| Freds | SolarisBoy, archboxman im gonna restart ive done alot of installs and ill check if anything worked | 11:59 |
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: good link but 2 things,, one it appears his card isn't fully recognized on a h/w level which point to a driver issue or h/w issue, in that article it appears 1 of 2 things,, 1. the wireless card was recognized and drivers loaded successful, however the wireless networking just need be enabled 2. he wasn't connecting to a wireless network which broadcast SSID so he had to actually type in the network SSID which he need to | 11:59 |
| Myrtti | esicam: and are you in the directory where the image is? | 11:59 |
| p0a | csaba, thanks :-) | 11:59 |
| SolarisBoy | Fred is diff as to where he needed to jump on a wired connection install packages for the broadcom firmware and load the modules cleanly.. as it seems | 12:00 |
| esicam | myrtti no, i guess | 12:00 |
| sena- | erUSUL: the was that I have had probs with this card from the beginig there is no good driver for it "radeon 9200 se" and I used custom xord.conf that actually used the vesa driver, but i worked for a long time | 12:00 |
| Myrtti | esicam: use "cd" to go to that directory on the commandline | 12:01 |
| sena- | erUSUL: and now suddenly stopped | 12:01 |
| rww | SolarisBoy: yeah, the main problem with the Broadcom 4312 is grabbing the firmware and drivers. Thankfully, those Ubuntu packages will do it all for you these days :) | 12:01 |
| erUSUL | sena-: does not work with radeon driver? | 12:01 |
| rww | SolarisBoy: silly non-free packages, would be nice if they opened it up and it Just Worked. | 12:01 |
| sena- | erUSUL: no | 12:01 |
| archboxman | rww: seen that box say on ubuntu forums that it has trouble connecting either way with one would work and wireless wouldn't or the wireless would work and the eth0 wouldn't | 12:01 |
| sena- | erUSUL: i thing there is no driver suitable for this card it is old card | 12:02 |
| rww | archboxman: I didn't encounter that problem, though I don't use ethernet much | 12:02 |
| * Yerushalmi feels sad. | 12:02 | |
| sena- | erUSUL: but aside from this you are right that i should not get kernel panic on upgrade | 12:02 |
| erUSUL | sena-: i had a 9250 back in the day and it worked fine with the radeon driver could be that the "se" are special though | 12:02 |
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: broadcom I don't like to much ;( | 12:02 |
| esicam | myrtti, it says cdcd is currently not installed | 12:03 |
| mehee | hi i want to know what the mots compressing format it that is cross platform. win lin mac. | 12:03 |
| fireball_ | hi all. i think evtouch driver not working? i can calibrate, but xorg options not working? how do i know which drivers are in use please, etc? | 12:03 |
| Myrtti | esicam: just cd | 12:03 |
| sena- | erUSUL: i can show you how my xorg.conf look like that made the card working | 12:03 |
| Diverdude | mehee, the format that compresses the most? Is that what you are asking? | 12:03 |
| Myrtti | esicam: in which directory the image you try to convert is? | 12:03 |
| olorin__ | Hi all, is there a way to get since how much time a given soft limit is exceeded for a given user (quota management) ? | 12:03 |
| archboxman | rww: goodluck with freds... He is a bit much to handle | 12:03 |
| elgh | archboxman: what is nvidia-xconfig? | 12:03 |

| Ari_Lazarus | Hi guys. I'm trying to play a .Net game I managed to install using Wine. I have Mono installed, but when I try to run the game using Wine it simply asks me to run using the Windows version of Mono. When I try to run it using Mono it notes that it cannot find the Windows.Systems.Forms assembly, which I guess is done by Wine. What should I do? | 12:04 |
| archboxman | elgh: program that puts the correct file in xorg.conf file not sure if it just a package or a full program | 12:04 |
| sena- | erUSUL: only this conf worked for me with this video card http://paste.ubuntu.com/366790/ | 12:04 |
| Myrtti | esicam: in your home directory, or in a directory in the home directory called that? | 12:04 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, use virtual box | 12:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter_ | is it possible to block a domain through hosts using asterisks i.e. foobar.com/* or is there a better way to block unwanted sites through ubuntu (prefer if it is cli base) | 12:05 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, wine is flawed | 12:05 |
| esicam | myrtti, it is in next drive | 12:05 |
| Ari_Lazarus | Diverdude: Does Virtual Box have .Net support? | 12:05 |
| erUSUL | sena-: if you just change vesa to radeon it fails? | 12:05 |
| elgh | archman: sounds like something I should have... | 12:05 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, sure...it has everything | 12:05 |
| pea[PC] | for a brand new drive do you have to create a new partition or can you just install it? | 12:05 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, its windows on linux | 12:05 |
| archboxman | elgh: futhermore it just says nvidia not a model of the card | 12:05 |
| sena- | erUSUL: i have not tried that | 12:05 |
| pintook | my openoffice menu text does not appear | 12:05 |
| Myrtti | esicam: /media/mikesh? | 12:05 |
| freds | GUESS WHAT IM CONNECTED VIA WIRELESS :)))) | 12:06 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, or any OS in linux | 12:06 |
| rww | Pirate_Hunter_: you could put "127.0.0.1 foobar.com" in /etc/hosts. | 12:06 |
| Skullduggerman- | hi | 12:06 |
| archboxman | elgh: this leads me to believe 1 of 2 things | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Ari_Lazarus: you need to install .net in wine (mono for windows) | 12:06 |
| Ari_Lazarus | Diverdude: I see. How badly would this affect the game? | 12:06 |
| freds | thansk alot rww SolarisBoy archboxman | 12:06 |
| freds | very grateful | 12:06 |
| Ari_Lazarus | erUSUL: I did | 12:06 |
| elgh | archman: what are those? | 12:06 |
| rww | freds: glad we could help :) | 12:06 |
| Ari_Lazarus | erUSUL: Oh wait. | 12:06 |
| esicam | myrtti like c drive, i have a drive named mikesh and the file is there | 12:06 |
| archboxman | freds: great :) rww glad you could help | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | !yay | freds | 12:06 |
| ubottu | freds: Glad you made it! :-) | 12:06 |
| Diverdude | Ari_Lazarus, you should not be able to see an impact on the game | 12:06 |
| sena- | erUSUL: but now on boot i get every time this configuration winodw that says "ubuntu can not find conf for your monitor and graph card" | 12:06 |
| mehee | Erikw: yes i need something that can give more compression than zip | 12:06 |
| freds | :P | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Ari_Lazarus: mono for linux does not work inside wine | 12:06 |
| Ari_Lazarus | I'll try both suggestions. Thanks guys. | 12:06 |
| mehee | Diverdude: yes | 12:06 |
| freds | it was a hard battle but we made it through | 12:07 |
| fireball_ | how do i enable evtouch option in xorg please? | 12:07 |
| archboxman | freds: lol | 12:07 |
| Myrtti | esicam: can you tell the exact path to the file, /media/c/ or such? | 12:07 |
| Yerushalmi | Can somebody please help me with my computer refusing to hibernate? | 12:07 |
| archboxman | rww: lol life saver :P | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | sena-: :/ dunno tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' ? | 12:07 |
| sena- | erUSUL: then i select generic monitor vesa driver then "ok", reboot and the same story from the begining | 12:07 |
| Diverdude | mehee, that depends on the degress of loss you are willing to pay...You can compress anything down to nothing if yu dont care about reconstruction ability | 12:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter_ | rww, I could but foobar holds many domains, however if I can do something like foobar.com/* it should go through but that is not working | 12:07 |
| sena- | erUSUL: ok i will try it | 12:08 |
| zvacet | pea[PC]: you can install,because it will ask you to format during install you can choose entire HD if you want | 12:08 |

| archboxman | elgh: 1) your setup has more then one xorg.conf file lieing around.. 2) since xorg.conf is to be setup before you install gnome the nvidia driver is not updating the xorg.conf file | 12:08 |
| sena- | erUSUL: have a nice day mate | 12:08 |

| mehee | archboxman: whats the problem you think elgh has | 12:27 |
| archboxman | mehee: video card period... xorg.conf has to be configured before gnome desktop is used | 12:28 |
| archboxman | mehee: problem is not even the install disk would see the video card | 12:29 |
| archboxman | mehee: usually means ubuntu has moved on and is not writing support for that video card anymore | 12:29 |
| mehee | archboxman: wtf i never had that problem with ubuntu. it should be fine from install | 12:30 |
| archboxman | elgh: if you want to continue to use ubuntu your going to have to upgrade all the way from a older version | 12:30 |

| archboxman | elgh: because the system is recongizing all the compnents ,but not writing them to the xorg.conf file so you configue file is not even close to a regular configue file | 12:42 |

| lloowen | Help please! What program do I need to install if I want to use the command 'configure' in bash? | 12:45 |
| alankila | lloowen: the command is not installable as such. The configure script usually accompanies source packages meant for end-user consumption that are built with autotools. | 12:45 |

| archboxman | elgh: thats fine if so then your monitor is problem ... Something is not working right | 12:46 |
| alankila | lloowen: if the source did not come with a configure script, you must build one. There is often a shell script called "bootstrap" or so. Running this -- provided all versions of autotools gunk are compatible -- may well spit out a functional configure for your system. | 12:46 |
| Goliath | how can i convert a mp4 file to xvid? | 12:47 |

| pietia | do i have to reboot after few hours of work on ubuntu ? : | | 12:48 |
| pietia | that's sick | 12:48 |
| alankila | lloowen: check if the source tarball came with something called "configure" anywhere. If not, then look for bootstrap and be prepared to install a lot of autotools-related packages. | 12:48 |
| archboxman | elgh: what ever is holding back your system has to be replaced | 12:48 |
| sipior | pietia: i believe that's a compile-time setting (you'd need to rebuild xlib). what exactly is eating up all of your xclients? | 12:48 |

| ouyes | mvn071, you see ruien ? | 13:06 |
| duffydack | osirisx11, its not doing anything bad.. its only a sall script that by default is setting the governor to ondemand.. all you are doing is telling it to use performance instead... | 13:06 |
| duffydack | sall=small | 13:06 |
| DocMAX | for example, when whatching youtube video, and i do fullscreen, cpu utilization goes up | 13:06 |

| acicula | DocMAX: thats typically the case with flash | 13:07 |
| DocMAX | acicula, i dont want that | 13:07 |
| acicula | DocMAX: then do not use flash? | 13:07 |

| om26er | DocMAX, its a fact that adobe flash is cpu *eater* no matter what platform you are on | 13:10 |

| pilinha_ | I can ask them to recompile it | 13:11 |
| jack5463 | indus, I have the VLC media player now, when i click open disk it opens then immediately closes.. so it doesn't play the dvd | 13:11 |
| duffydack | osirisx11, but thats a long long way of doing something simple.. | 13:11 |
| pilinha_ | sipior, I can ask them to recompile it | 13:11 |
| sipior | pilinha_: not sure what to tell you, sorry. complain to the people you got it from :-) | 13:11 |
| jbendotnet | anyone here know memcached? | 13:11 |
| jbendotnet | trying to change the port it runs on | 13:12 |
| acicula | DocMAX: you cna try the html5 feature of youtube in chromium i suppse | 13:12 |
| pilinha_ | sipior, I just want to understand what they did wrong , so I can tell them | 13:12 |
| * om26er thought htlm5 video tagging would kill flash but agin h.264 came in the way | 13:12 | |
| acicula | yeh | 13:12 |
| duffydack | osirisx11, there is no other scaling mode in /etc/init.d btw... its ondemand only.. and all the script is doing is setting it by default on startup.. dont worry about it. | 13:12 |
| archboxman | well got to run now I feel bad :( | 13:12 |
| rvsjoen | jbendotnet: and ? | 13:12 |
| sipior | pilinha_: difficult to say without knowing how the library was built. were they attempting a cross-compilation? | 13:12 |
| jbendotnet | rvsjoen: I'm not sure where to look | 13:13 |
| jbendotnet | ! | 13:13 |
| rvsjoen | jbendotnet: /etc/memcached.conf ? | 13:13 |
| DocMAX2 | i wanted to stay on ubuntu... but some things really bother me | 13:13 |
| jbendotnet | haha | 13:13 |
| jbendotnet | rvsjoen: oh yes, it's much simpler than I thought | 13:13 |
| jbendotnet | not sure why, I was trying to work through the init.d stuff | 13:13 |
| acicula | DocMAX: not much to be done about flash unfortunatly | 13:14 |
| om26er | DocMAX2, except for the flash issue share any other issue with us please | 13:14 |
| pilinha_ | sipior, I dont know, but I had the same guess.. I'll try ask them... The usual, for linux systems, is to use SystemV ABI, right? | 13:14 |
| DocMAX2 | om26er, the gnome desktop | 13:14 |
| Yerushalmi | My computer refuses to hibernate; it goes through all the motions of hibernating, but then pops me back into the login screen. Can someone help me fix this? | 13:14 |
| rvsjoen | jbendotnet: that would be the second place to look | 13:14 |
| acicula | DocMAX2: however this is a support channel to troubleshoot and fix problems, so please stick to that | 13:14 |
| om26er | DocMAX2, then use kde | 13:14 |
| sipior | pilinha_: certainly the case on my system, yes | 13:14 |
| DocMAX2 | the whole gnome desktop is crap | 13:14 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: made changes to pulseaudio? | 13:14 |
| Yerushalmi | I haven't made changes to anything; this is a clean install. | 13:14 |
| pilinha_ | sipior, on mine too.. I just don't know if that's a rule, or an option | 13:15 |
| om26er | DocMAX2, I love Gnome *very much* | 13:15 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: hmm, i think it dumps in syslog what was blocking it to go into hibernate | 13:15 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: I've even made a second install on my flash drive. Same problem. | 13:15 |
| DocMAX2 | for example the icons on the desktop... if their names are too long, gnome does not shorten them the right way | 13:15 |
| miraiw | DocMAX2: Openbox FTW | 13:15 |
| acicula | DocMAX2: stop trolling the channel | 13:15 |
| Yerushalmi | I can show you my pm-suspend.log file. It looks like everything's completely normal. It just comes right back out of hibernate immediately. | 13:15 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: yeah pastebin it | 13:15 |
| sipior | pilinha_: you need to talk to your developer friends, and get some support from them. there's not much we can do here without more information. | 13:16 |
| DocMAX2 | the only thing that works fine is compiz | 13:16 |

| ubottu | Keller: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 13:17 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: can you paste the link or are you gonna make me guess :)? | 13:17 |
| archboxman | mehee: you around | 13:17 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Oh! Didn't know you needed a link, I thought it was a public thing. My apologies. http://paste.ubuntu.com/366827/ | 13:17 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: I'm afraid I'm still very new to this :p | 13:17 |
| Yerushalmi | *embarrassed* | 13:17 |
| Keller | what DE except for Gnome,KDE,Xfce is fast and comfortable to use | 13:18 |
| archboxman | Yerushalmi: what no need just work on your skillz | 13:18 |
| Keller | *? | 13:18 |
| DocMAX2 | can someone give me remote support via VNC? | 13:18 |
| osirisx11 | Keller: LXDE | 13:18 |
| osirisx11 | http://lxde.org/ | 13:18 |
| Yerushalmi | archboxman: Heh. First-timer, I guess. | 13:18 |
| Keller | osirisx11, thanks | 13:18 |
| om26er | !lubuntu | Keller | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Keller: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 13:19 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: hmm nothing out of the ordinary except /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video thaw hibernate: Returned exit code 1. | 13:19 |
| archboxman | Yerushalmi: what to worry about learn as you go... ;) you can always reinstall the system its free | 13:19 |
| Yerushalmi | archboxman: I have. Several times. | 13:19 |
| acicula | archboxman: read, he did that | 13:19 |
| osirisx11 | Keller: is this for a netbook? | 13:19 |
| bazhang | Keller, if you are on karmic 9.10 you can install the package lubuntu-desktop and try it out | 13:19 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: have you enabled any video driver? | 13:19 |
| Keller | osirisx11, nope, for notebook | 13:20 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: oh wait its intel 915 | 13:20 |
| Keller | im currently on 9.04, i like it more than karmic | 13:20 |
| jolp | 9.04 more stable. | 13:21 |
| archboxman | acicula: I installed archlinux 2 times and the first time it took 5 days to install archlinux now I can install archlinux in about 20 mins... nothing wrong with learning | 13:21 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula, archboxman: I spent the last five days learning how to get a bigger swap partition because that's what I was told was the problem. This entailed reformatting and reinstalling ubuntu at least seven times with various settings. | 13:21 |
| suman | Hey, can somebody guide me to get the inbuilt webcam working for my computer? | 13:21 |
| xfact | I am using Ubuntu Karmic more then 1 months and I think it's stable! | 13:21 |
| om26er | suman, open terminal and type lspci and pastin it | 13:21 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula, archboxman: Naturally, though, now that I have 900 megs of ram and 6 gigs of swap, it still don't work :p | 13:21 |

| gilmar | t | 13:22 |
| elgh | archboxman: Thank you for your help. | 13:22 |
| archboxman | elgh: hold on i figured out ur problem | 13:22 |
| elgh | archboxman Really? | 13:22 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: Yerushalmi does suspend work? | 13:22 |
| archboxman | elgh: I ran it past a debian user | 13:22 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Yup. Suspend works fine. | 13:23 |
| suman | om26er, i typed in lspci what now? | 13:23 |
| archboxman | elgh: you ran that nvidia card as a user ??? not root | 13:23 |
| om26er | suman, copy the results and paste them in pastebin.org and provide the link | 13:23 |
| Yerushalmi | In fact, I just glanced over to the computer and saw that it just suspended on me without me noticing :p | 13:23 |
| elgh | archboxman: Can you please explain that further? | 13:23 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: how much memory in the netbook/how big is the disk? | 13:23 |
| archboxman | ok hold on | 13:24 |
| om26er | suman, which app are you using for web cam? | 13:24 |
| suman | i do not know I will paste the results | 13:24 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, is any memeory card mounted? | 13:24 |
| archboxman | elgh: lets leave this furom and go to debian I will let the gods explain it of ubunut | 13:24 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: As a result of all my playing around trying to fix the problem, I now have two different installs. | 13:24 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: total disk size and total mem size? | 13:24 |
| Yerushalmi | om26er: Yes. Same answer as acicula: | 13:24 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, and what was that? | 13:25 |
| Yerushalmi | I have a 4-gig hard disk, of which 3.8 is the file system and 239 megabytes is a swap space. | 13:25 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, pull it out | 13:25 |
| archboxman | elgh: ubuntu is written with debian as is core programing | 13:25 |
| elgh | archboxman, Okey... | 13:25 |
| Yerushalmi | I also have a 16-gig single flash reader, with a 10-gig file system and 6.3 gig swap space. | 13:25 |
| trisquel | hi | 13:25 |
| archboxman | elgh: lets go to #debian chatroom | 13:25 |
| Yerushalmi | om26er: You're saying that it could be the flash drive that's causing the problem? | 13:25 |
| elgh | archboxman: I'm there. | 13:26 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, no memory card (sdhci) | 13:26 |
| archboxman | ok on my way | 13:26 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: internal memory i mean? also are you using netbook remix or ubuntu vanilla, i forgot | 13:26 |
| suman | please find the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/366832/ | 13:26 |
| Yerushalmi | om26er: Ah. Then no. | 13:26 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: netbook remix. | 13:26 |
| trisquel | is it true that hp has bios management where HP can access your computer no matter what firewalls or encrypted file systems or how good your password is? | 13:26 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: On the 10-gig file system on the flash drive I have a second installation of ubuntu, which I placed there in order to see if for some bizarre reason it refused to use swap spaces that weren't on the same drive. | 13:26 |
| Pici | !ot | trisquel | 13:26 |
| ubottu | trisquel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:26 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, my netbook dont hibernate or standby ( its a known bug) | 13:27 |
| xpo0f | :) | 13:27 |
| Yerushalmi | om26er: Really? But standby works for me. | 13:27 |
| tim167 | hey, how do i choose a destination to install to with aptitude ? | 13:27 |
| trisquel | Pici, ubuntu computers | 13:27 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: well it seems that space is the most logical issue | 13:27 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, not for me. that's because I have ubuntu installed on sdhci (when sdhci is mounted stand by dont work) | 13:27 |
| acicula | seeing as the principle differnce between hibernation and suspend is the dumping of the memory into the swap | 13:27 |
| Pici | trisquel: BIOS is regardless of operating system, your question is not on-topic for this channel. | 13:28 |
| xpo0f | yeah | 13:28 |
| Yerushalmi | WAit. | 13:28 |
| Yerushalmi | I think this is perhaps a memory card? | 13:28 |
| * Yerushalmi has been away from computers too long. | 13:28 | |
| cheekee | I am trying to install the lamp-server but keep getting the error message " tasksel: aptitude failed (100)". Can anyone help? | 13:29 |
| Yerushalmi | It's called Single Flash Reader, it's in a slot labeled MMC.SD | 13:29 |
| xpo0f | what topic | 13:29 |
| Yerushalmi | I'm rather embarrassed that I don't know what that means. | 13:29 |
| Yerushalmi | But it acts as a drive. | 13:29 |
| om26er | for me too | 13:29 |
| Yerushalmi | om26er: What's sdhci? | 13:29 |
| suman | om26er, i have pasted the links http://imagebin.org/82830 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/366832/ | 13:29 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: it seems an SD card, that what you are using is known to prevent suspend | 13:29 |
| acicula | can you suspend with the SD card mounted? | 13:29 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Yes. | 13:30 |
| unimatrix | anyone know if latest gnome-panel supports RGBA yet? | 13:30 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Suspend works fine. Just hibernate doesn't. | 13:30 |
| ruien | does anyone know a straightforward way to allow vnc sessions to access audio devices on a server? I don't want to tunnel audio or anything, i just want to allow a vnc user to play audio on the server's speakers. I am using xfce on 9.10, and there are no local users logged in on the server, only a single VNC connection. I believe this is a "udevd" rules issue, but i don't know where to find more specific information on editing them. | 13:30 |
| xpo0f | i dont know | 13:30 |
| kjs | I am interested in doing some packaging for Ubuntu, how can I find out what packages people are requesting / what needs to be packaged? | 13:30 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: And it doesn't work whether I boot from the ubuntu installation on the internal hard disk or the ubuntu installation on the flash drive. | 13:31 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: By default, the kernel always unmounts all MMC/SD cards before suspend and re-mounts them at resume. /quote | 13:31 |
| om26er | suman, I dont see any webcam there.. | 13:31 |
| acicula | so that might explain why hibernating to an SD doesnt work | 13:31 |
| xpo0f | kjs: you can use apt-cache to show the depends | 13:31 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: how much internal memory do you have on the netbook? | 13:31 |
| kjs | xpo0f: wtf? | 13:31 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Huh. I'm going to check this out, then, I'll figure out whether or not I can suspend when booting from the flash drive. | 13:31 |
| om26er | kjs, ? | 13:31 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: something like 900 megabytes. | 13:32 |
| suman | om26er, i have webcam on my computer which is not being detected. what should i do now? | 13:32 |
| sebsebseb | !language > kjs | 13:32 |
| ubottu | kjs, please see my private message | 13:32 |
| xpo0f | kjs: apt-cache depends <package> | 13:32 |
| om26er | suman, can you please give the name of the web cam.( make and model) | 13:32 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: try without the SD to cram unr onto the thing with a 2GB swap ? | 13:32 |
| kjs | xpo0f: not what im asking is it. | 13:32 |
| xpo0f | ok | 13:32 |
| kjs | I want to build some packages for ubuntu not find out the deps of a dpkg. | 13:32 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Unless there's a smaller version of UNR, I can't - the internal drive is only 4 gig. | 13:33 |
| om26er | kjs, what are you building? | 13:33 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: i dont think so :/ | 13:33 |
| unimatrix | kjs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-packaging | 13:33 |
| xpo0f | so that... compile yourself and configure all the depends | 13:33 |
| unimatrix | kjs: happy packaging | 13:33 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Confirmed, suspend works fine even when I'm running ubuntu off the SD card. | 13:33 |
| suman | om26er, i have sony vaio CR343N model. I had Vista installed which detected and webcam worked fine where as the switch to ubuntu has caused it to stop working. Does it help | 13:34 |
| acicula | hmm but still no hibernate | 13:34 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: i dont know then :/ | 13:34 |
| xpo0f | brb | 13:34 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Nope. Activating hibernate from the menu makes it look as if it's about to do it - the screen goes blank and everything | 13:34 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: yeah according to the log it goes through all the steps | 13:35 |
| Yerushalmi | But it really is just bringing me to a login screen. | 13:35 |
| om26er | suman, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 13:35 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: nod. It's weird. | 13:35 |
| acicula | just fails just before dumping to disk it seems and wakes up again | 13:35 |
| sint | hey, is it possible to run a single programm in a different language? | 13:35 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: But it's not even presenting a failure message, is it? | 13:35 |
| csaba | maybe there's not enough space on the hd? | 13:35 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: not that i can tell | 13:35 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: well the unthawing of video is reporting an error condition | 13:35 |
| * om26er thinks every thing is possible when you are using Linux | 13:35 | |
| acicula | but that is after it comes back | 13:36 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: And yet video works fine. | 13:36 |
| acicula | sint: override the language locale for a particular program? | 13:36 |
| sint | acicula: sounds like what i need | 13:36 |
| === _value is now known as Value | ||
| acicula | Yerushalmi: yeah it doesnt mean the video is broken | 13:36 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Ah | 13:36 |
| r2d2_ | hi all | 13:37 |
| suman | om26er, ubuntu 9.10 | 13:37 |
| acicula | just means the script didnt terminate as it should have, which may mean nothing | 13:37 |
| ChuckyLarms | Hello, can someone help me real quick | 13:37 |
| Value | hey all | 13:37 |
| r2d2_ | does anyone remember how to find out all login times? | 13:37 |
| sint | acicula: do you know how to do this? | 13:37 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Well, thanks for trying anyways | 13:37 |
| suman | om26er, i installed 8.10 then upgraded to 9.04 and then to 9.10 | 13:37 |
| om26er | suman, it turns out ubuntu dont have the driver | 13:37 |
| acicula | sint: some programs will use the locale env variables to determine what language files to use, override those i guess, or look at the specific programs manual | 13:37 |
| acicula | r2d2_: look in auth.log | 13:38 |
| ChuckyLarms | I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.01 and my root password was lost or changed, how do I fix this? | 13:38 |
| r2d2_ | thanks | 13:38 |
| sint | acicula: ok thanks, i'll search for it | 13:38 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: you upgraded to what? | 13:38 |
| === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch | ||

| acicula | ChuckyLarms: your root password doesnt change, it doesnt exist | 13:39 |
| r2d2_ | acicula: i remember that there is some utility to get all login and logout times | 13:39 |
| ChuckyLarms | Well, I lost all my Admin priviliges | 13:39 |

| ChuckyLarms | back** | 13:40 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: does sudo work? | 13:40 |
| csaba | ChuckyLarms: /etc/sudoers | 13:40 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Hehe. I was thinking from a time/availability standpoint. But anyway. | 13:40 |
| suman | om26er, one more query I have is, when I installed UBUNTU I did not care to go for the partition, but now when this is installed can I get some feature like disk compression so that i can partition the disk without losing current installation | 13:41 |
| Value | acicula i know its not but the problem is not with psybnc with the Makefile | 13:41 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: just ask ;) | 13:41 |
| ChuckyLarms | says no such directory | 13:41 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: For some reason, and I don't know how this happened, my date/time and my power menu have found themselves to the left of the sound, wireless, display, and battery icons. | 13:41 |
| acicula | Value: this is an ubuntu support channel | 13:41 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: No idea how they got there, and no idea how to move them back. | 13:41 |
| om26er | suman, you can do resizing of partition without compressing | 13:41 |
| csaba | ChuckyLarms: you don't have /etc/sudoers?? | 13:41 |
| Value | i know | 13:41 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: err, not sure about the netbook remix gui, but right click and try to move it? | 13:42 |
| csaba | Value: fix the error at line 80 | 13:42 |
| acicula | unlcok if needs be | 13:42 |
| Value | k | 13:42 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: Tried. It agrees to move everywhere but to the right of the icons. | 13:42 |
| om26er | suman, you have to run live cd of ubuntu and use gparted in live session to resize partition | 13:42 |
| elgh | archboxman, back here. | 13:42 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: sudo in a console gives you that error? | 13:42 |
| acicula | can you pastebin the few lines you see in your console? | 13:42 |
| jellow | Yerushalmi: they locked to pannel , Right click unclock | 13:42 |
| archboxman | elgh:came back debian people are a hard group to get to know trust me | 13:42 |
| ChuckyLarms | ueah | 13:42 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: unlock the icons and move those? | 13:42 |
| elgh | Hehe :) | 13:43 |
| happyface | can you only chmod a file if you own it? | 13:43 |
| archboxman | elgh: one major hurdel down | 13:43 |
| elgh | Yes, thanks a lot :) | 13:43 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: if its the icons of bluetooth move a little to the right, its a systray thing that can also be unlocked | 13:43 |
| Yerushalmi | acicula: jellow: I can't find any place to right-click on or around the icons that have an unlock or move option. | 13:43 |
| archboxman | ;) | 13:43 |
| csaba | happyface: yes | 13:43 |

| elgh | I hate it! | 13:43 |
| suman | om26er, does this have any specific thing that i should remember or the automatic guide is enough | 13:43 |
| happyface | csaba: even if you have rwx on it but dont own it? | 13:43 |
| elgh | :P | 13:43 |
| acicula | Yerushalmi: just to the left of the icons, click there? | 13:43 |

| Yerushalmi | Ah! I got it. Thanks! :) | 13:44 |
| happyface | thanks csaba | 13:44 |
| om26er | suman, when resizing everything you have to do manually | 13:44 |
| rvsjoen | elgh: pastebin your xorg.conf | 13:44 |
| Yerushalmi | It works now :) | 13:44 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: sudo, not /etc/sudoers | 13:44 |
| archboxman | I figure one of two things 1) you got a virus or 2) settings have changed | 13:44 |
| om26er | Yerushalmi, what? | 13:44 |

| Yerushalmi | om26er: Nope, moving the icons around. | 13:44 |

| archboxman | elgh: you run firefox??? | 13:44 |
| om26er | ha | 13:44 |
| acicula | acchieved | 13:44 |
| bojanbg | Does anyone have an idea how to create something like MSTSC in windows, in ubuntu, so that everyuser which connects via vnc gets to logon to their own session ? | 13:44 |
| * Yerushalmi has no idea how it could've gotten that way without him knowing how to move icons until about half an hour ago, but whatever. | 13:44 | |
| elgh | archboxman, Yes I use Firefox. | 13:44 |
| acicula | !ltsp | 13:45 |
| csaba | bojanbg: you can do it with nx machine | 13:45 |
| Yerushalmi | Thanks guys! That's one problem solved, at least. | 13:45 |
| bojanbg | csaba, I will google nx machine | 13:45 |
| suman | om26er, thanx i will try this in some time | 13:45 |
| ubottu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 13:45 |
| archboxman | do you have adblocker on??? | 13:45 |
| acicula | best start there bojanbg | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | bojanbg: ive seen vncserver setup via inetd where the user just connects via a vncviewer and it spawns a new vncserver session as needed. | 13:45 |
| om26er | suman, np :) | 13:45 |
| ChuckyLarms | I don't understabd acicula | 13:45 |
| bojanbg | Dr_Willis, I will look into your solution as well | 13:46 |
| bojanbg | thank you | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | bojanbg: vnc does not have to share 'just the current visible desktop' - You can install a vncserver that lets users spawn their own session/desktop thats 'hidden' | 13:46 |
| elgh | brb | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | bojanbg: simple way.. install the tightvncserver, let the users ssh in, start vncserver, then connect via a vncclient. | 13:46 |
| archboxman | elgh: no need its a add-on for firefox | 13:46 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: type sudo in a console, and then your password, that lets you use admin priveledges | 13:46 |
| bojanbg | Dr_Willis, too difficult for what I need | 13:46 |
| bojanbg | Dr_Willis, need something that requires no shell knowledge | 13:47 |
| freds | How do i set my current account as superuser? | 13:47 |
| Gangrel | any idea why greek subtitles on .srt mode do not appear as they should be? (they look like @#$%@#%) | 13:47 |
| acicula | freds: /etc/sudoers or via user management | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | bojanbg: then see the vnc via inetd or xinetd guides | 13:47 |
| Yerushalmi | Alright. Headed home now. Thanks for all the help! | 13:47 |
| ChuckyLarms | it says I am not under the Sudoers files | 13:47 |
| ChuckyLarms | And I will be reported | 13:47 |

| cheekee | ? | 13:50 |
| rvsjoen | johannes1: fyi, you should use aptitude insted of apt-get | 13:51 |
| acicula | freds: there is no 1 option to give unlimited access to a specific user, because then it would be root | 13:51 |
| Dr_Willis | root51: thers some tools out tha lets you change the 9.10 gdm themes. Check my links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under gdm or gdm2 | 13:51 |
| acicula | freds: root is bad | 13:51 |
| freds | acicula, i have clciked all the check boxes but it still wont let em edit anything in the hard drive | 13:51 |
| johannes1 | rvsjoen why? | 13:51 |
| acicula | freds: even as a sudo user you cant just edit a file on the disk | 13:51 |
| acicula | only the owner (root) can | 13:51 |
| ChuckyLarms | Acicula? | 13:52 |
| ChuckyLarms | Any advice at all? | 13:52 |
| root51 | it can't affect to karmic | 13:52 |
| root51 | if i using gdm i can't affect my login screen | 13:52 |
| acicula | ChuckyLarms: can you explain your problem again, particularly what it is you are trying to achieve, what you expect would happen, and what happened instead? | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | root51: with the right tools/configs yes you can. | 13:53 |

| acicula | happyface: you assume correctly | 13:58 |
| elgh | rvsjoen, how can I tell that? | 13:58 |
| happyface | acicula: why are these disabled? | 13:58 |
| acicula | happyface: theres no real need for them anymore | 13:58 |

| ubottu | elgh: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:29 |

| McL0VIN | zim1: am at work using M$ (IT block rapidshare site), ubuntu is located somewhere else were it can access the net with no restriction | 14:38 |
| archboxman | elgh: what I'm trying to see if some stupid adware got onto this computer causing problems everything in me says no because this is linux | 14:39 |
| edakiri | I uninstalled and then reinstalled my lang package and now box characters are rendered wrong in aptitude menus. how might i fix it? | 14:39 |
| ubuntu | kinja-sheep: i used UNetbootin | 14:39 |

| kinja-sheep | McL0VIN: I'll keep this short and sweet. Log out SSH -- "ssh -Y host@ip" -- Then you run "firefox &" Firefox will appear in front of you (from your home machine). | 14:42 |
| elgh | archboxman, Hehe... You are funny. :) | 14:42 |

| edakiri | wooopoi: what application? | 14:43 |
| kinja-sheep | blue_pearl: I don't know. I never messed around with UNetbootin (but there are two options -- LiveUSB and Persistent USB Mode). If you haven't selected the second option, I guess not. Also, see !usb | 14:43 |

| kinja-sheep | gik: Is that necessary? Really? :\ | 14:44 |
| archboxman | elgh: we fixed the xorg.conf file to read the mouse and get ride of the old files | 14:44 |
| elgh | archboxman, That is true. | 14:44 |
| elgh | archboxman, When Ubuntu first was installed the mouse was correct, even after installing graphics drivers. | 14:45 |
| blue_pearl | kinja-sheep: i did not find any such option in UNetbootin | 14:45 |
| pea[PC] | i like all the different shades of poo | 14:45 |
| kinja-sheep | blue_pearl: I don't think it is possible because you never set it up in first place. | 14:45 |
| edakiri | jack5463: usually bad software problem like an invalid instruction in an executable. are you on 64b? could be a program written for 32b on 64b hardware for example. May be a hardware problem, but usually software. | 14:45 |

| archboxman | elgh: that is what I was figuring that is why it is got me stumped even in the system preferences there is know way to change to a color | 14:48 |
| archboxman | elgh: is this 9.10??? | 14:48 |
| Pici | KenBW2: killall without any arguments should send a SIGTERM which the program should interpret as being a standard close request. | 14:48 |
| elgh | archboxman, No, 9.04. | 14:48 |

| McL0VIN | Pici: how can i tell | 14:55 |
| kinja-sheep | Pici: X Window Server (ie Xming X Server) is needed to run Linux apps over Windows? o.O | 14:56 |
| Pici | McL0VIN: If you don't know, then you don't. You need to be running something like xming or reflectionsX | 14:56 |
| Pici | kinja-sheep: If you intend to forward X over ssh, yes. | 14:57 |
| llutz | kinja-sheep: how would you display X-apps locally without X-server? | 14:57 |

| wooopi | anyone strong in cryptsetup and luks? | 14:58 |
| Pici | McL0VIN: Starting the xserver on your linux computer doesn't help you. You'd need to run X locally (on windows) in order to see grapihcal applications there. | 15:00 |

| hookworm24 | !gnomepanel | 15:45 |
| webroasters | ok, one sec iceroot, I'll look into that | 15:45 |
| hookworm24 | !gnome | 15:45 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 15:45 |
| boxfish | adante: AFAIK, different hard drives have different values of these, so one drive can necessarily be duplicated on another ?? | 15:45 |
| iceroot | webroasters: its much easier then reading crontab -l | 15:46 |
| hookworm24 | !gnome-panel | 15:46 |
| webroasters | ok | 15:46 |
| llutz | TimReichhart: you might better ask in a perl-channel | 15:46 |
| darktears | iceroot: if what you said can be true, it would be a dream...i haven't run a dist-upgrade just a regular updates. The kernel got some updates bumped to 2.6.31-16, if i go back to 2.6.31-14 the camera works | 15:46 |
| adante | boxfish: looking at the output of fdisk from my old drive and the new one they seem identical | 15:46 |
| darktears | iceroot: you faith is too strong | 15:46 |
| Zta | Um, this is a bit awkward... But where is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf on Karmic Koala? | 15:46 |
| adante | boxfish: so i would like to simply copy the data over retaining the exactly same partition structure | 15:46 |
| === Tristan is now known as Guest77709 | ||
| llutz | Zta: there is no by default | 15:47 |
| Zta | llutz, ok so everything is autodetected? | 15:47 |
| llutz | Zta: it should, if you need to make changes, create your own xorg.conf | 15:47 |
| webroasters | iceroot: thanks. I'll try that | 15:47 |
| Zta | llutz, the thing is I want to make some adjustments, and force a different driver like shown here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52067 | 15:48 |
| boxfish | it dont seem to like your number of cylinders though. How does it compare to what is actually written on the HD label ? | 15:48 |
| boxfish | you should be able to do a staight copy using a disk tool from somewhere | 15:48 |
| llutz | Zta: just sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , make your changes, restart X and pray | 15:48 |
| Zta | llutz, thanks. | 15:48 |

| Cretin | hi, i feel so stupid asking this.i finally got my headless server working with vnc, and now my samba shares dont work. when i try to connect from my win7 ult machine, it asks from username as pass, but wont let me see the shares. it used to be that putting in my username was enough. ive since edited smb.conf every way imaginable, and still nothing. if it matters, when i get prompted on win7 it says my domain is I2, which is the win7 comp's name. | 16:14 |
| boxfish | yes | 16:14 |
| mediaprodigy | I normally use the win xp cd to delete partitions.. how would i delete the existing ubuntu partitiion to reinstall it.. can it be done thought the Ubuntu cd? | 16:15 |

| babbio | ..is this possible? how? thank u all | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | mediaprodigy, yes , just reinstall to / on the ext3/4 partition, if you want to save your present application config files (settings) | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | mediaprodigy, use the manual partitioning option | 16:17 |
| mediaprodigy | BluesKaj: so in the live distro use the manual partitiion option and then what exactly.. i got lost . if you have alink .. I will just look in teh support forum | 16:18 |
| boxfish | I would delete the partition that had the previous ubuntu on it, and leave it empty and unformatted | 16:18 |

| LuksPartition | I_Am: yea cause ubuntu is free software and they are charging a fee to install it, its a service, | 17:50 |

| genii-around | Zerofire: The images are bad because they fail their self-check when you select that at boot? Or because the md5sum doesn't match? Or the burner chokes on it? Or how is it you know/decided they are corrupt | 18:04 |
| IdleOne | Zerofire: burn at slowest speed 2x or so | 18:04 |
| macman_ | im on the website i don't see anything .. i type dell adn get nothing | 18:04 |
| macman_ | nvm its on the wiki | 18:04 |

| Zerofire | I only have a single burning drive and Nero has been reliable over the years. I see no reason why it should be bad now. I just burned another disk and it was fine. | 18:07 |

| quido | Roasted chicken :P | 18:09 |
| Zerofire | I am burning at x16 which is not the slowest but not the fastest either. | 18:09 |
| candi | i know that on some versions of nero there is an 'enable disk overburn' setting that will help it finish a disk under some conditions | 18:09 |
| suman | om26er, i am srry abt the last time can this be some virus as there are other activities | 18:09 |
| log_in | i recently installed a copy of ubuntu onto my new laptop and it all works fine but if i plug in headphones it plays out of both the speakers and the headphones would this be releated to soemthing bad with my install? | 18:09 |
| Roasted | Zerofire, always ALWAYS burn at slowest speed. | 18:09 |
| quido | :p 2x | 18:09 |
| om26er | suman, ubuntu == no virus | 18:10 |
| sipior | Roasted: that's nonsense, frankly. | 18:10 |
| Roasted | Zerofire, When you play a CD or DVD, your player can auto-backtrack to read any sectors it missed. When burning, it only burns in 1 straight line. If it skips, it doesn't go back. | 18:10 |
| Roasted | sipior, actually, no, it's quite necessary if you want quality burns. | 18:10 |
| sipior | Roasted: nonsense. | 18:10 |
| candi | roasted : some disks (especially the cheapest ones) have a thinner film and actually burn better at a faster speed | 18:10 |
| Roasted | candi, lol | 18:10 |
| candi | ok, think what you want | 18:11 |
| Roasted | sipior, if you say so. I've had more failed discs at high speed than low speed. Coincidence? Think not. | 18:11 |
| macman_ | anyone using ubuntu on a dell sutido 17 inch | 18:11 |
| Roasted | sipior, I encourage you to tell people on forums to burn at high speed. | 18:11 |
| macman_ | s/sutido/studio | 18:11 |
| om26er | macman_, whats not working? | 18:11 |
| Zerofire | I will burn a copy at 8x and then tell you guys the result. | 18:12 |
| Roasted | Zerofire, I suggest you do. I always burn at slowest speed, which oddly enough doesnt take that much longer anyway, but at slowest I ALWAYS get a solid burn. Ive never had a disc fail on slowest speed. Highest its much more common. | 18:12 |
| deadrabbit | Burning at higher speeds can cause more problems | 18:12 |
| jolaren | How do I move /usr/ to annother partition? My root partition has almost no space left. | 18:13 |
| nemo | Roasted: depends on a lot of factors too :) | 18:13 |
| sipior | Roasted: whilst burning at the very maximum speed may not be wise (depending upon the drive), you certainly don't need to choose the very lowest speed for a quality result. i'm not entirely sure where this sort of magical thinking comes from (the long-lost era of buffer underruns, i suppose). | 18:13 |
| Roasted | nemo, no doubt. | 18:13 |
| macman_ | om26er: i get my studio 17 coming in like 2 days :P ... i was wondering if hdmi works .. and how good is the battery life ? | 18:13 |
| nemo | sipior: well. crap drives can still cause underruns. | 18:14 |
| Zerofire | I know that on the highest sometimes there are problems thats why I default to 16x It is a sweet spot for most disks. | 18:14 |
| Roasted | sipior, it's really just common logic... slower the speed, higher chance of a quality burn. It's just easier for me to preach running at slowest speed because each drive could have a different set of speeds at which to burn at. | 18:14 |
| om26er | macman_, for that we have #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:14 |
| JKemp | Can anyone tell me what i need to install to get Intel GFX working? | 18:14 |
| Roasted | sipior, its not that I think 4x is worse than 2x, Im just saying dont burn at 22x | 18:14 |
| nemo | oh well. I solved my problem. bye guys :) | 18:14 |
| macman_ | om26er: why would that be off-topic ? | 18:14 |
| Roasted | sipior, so its just easier as somebody trying to help another guy out to say, burn at slowest speed. an extra 20 seconds waiting for it to finish wont hurt. :P | 18:14 |
| JKemp | I've already installed updates with the Intel Drivers in them. But still can't change resolution or enable effects. | 18:14 |
| Zerofire | 8x is the slowest Nero will allow for my drive with a CD. | 18:15 |

| ubottu | wish^: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 18:17 |

| deadrabbit | rabbitbunny: No???? I am so confused now | 18:20 |
| wish^ | Myrtti: is there a problem with me saying im dissapointed in the logic of it.. and that i should have read up more before choosing to use it? | 18:20 |
| Rabbitbunny | wish^: Accusing the project of copying windows isn't the best way to get help and could be considered inciteful. Some concessions were made to make it work like you expect it to. | 18:21 |
| Faint` | Hi. Been Googling around and am at the end of the rope here reading a horribly unhelpful manpage on xorg.conf. I am manually specifying EVERYTHING to get this monitor to work, and need help interpreting some variables that aren't explained. | 18:21 |
| minimec | wish^: sudo -i will give you a root-console. With that, you don't have to type sudo all the time... | 18:21 |
| Faint` | "The second section is a list of four numbers specifying the horizontal timings. These numbers are the hdisp, hsyncstart, hsyncend, and htotal values. The third section..." | 18:21 |
| Faint` | "The third section," they say, as if they've explained a damn thing. FFFFffffff... | 18:21 |
| okc | even i am using apt-get,it is showing as: E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) | 18:21 |
| okc | E: The list of sources could not be read. | 18:21 |
| Faint` | hdisp I'm assuming is resolution, start and end there are the freq range, but what is htotal? Anyone? | 18:21 |
| wish^ | Rabbitbunny: im not accusing it of looking like windows.. im just really suprised that my normal user account has root access.. | 18:22 |
| Rabbitbunny | deadrabbit: Think about gui's as putting together cammand lines for you. Sure, you can click on things and it will work, or you can type thing and control exactly what it does. Different methods, same result. | 18:22 |
| nytek_ | jolaren: i dont know how that would work, sorry. most of the gui aspect of the system is based in usr | 18:22 |
| sayanriju | okc, post your /etc/apt/sources.list on pastebin so others can look at it | 18:22 |
| jolaren | nytek_; It's a server thought | 18:22 |
| Rabbitbunny | wish^: You're a sudoer. You can fix that if you want ;) | 18:22 |
| trism | wish^: a normal user account doesn't, the user account needs to be in the admin group (the first user created will be in that group) | 18:22 |
| jrib | Faint`: there's always reading the source. But why are you going through this? It's usually not necessary | 18:22 |

| ubottu | Faint`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:23 |
| Myrtti | wish^: of course one has to read up before making big decisions. And while you may not agree with logic, that's how ubuntu has been designed to work. Setting a root account isn't how it's designed to work. If you set it, some consider that you've in a way "voided warranty" ;-) and give no support. There is a chance that enabling root account will break things, although minimal | 18:23 |
| deadrabbit | Rabbitbunny: i know all that, i was just wondering if he needed the synaptic for something specific. If not he could just use apt-get | 18:23 |
| Faint` | Okay, alright, sorry, I'm used to the Interwebs being the wild wild west as far as profanity goes. | 18:23 |
| Faint` | I'll watch it. | 18:23 |
| minimec | wish^: The first user is considered to be 'sudoer' by default, only the first user. | 18:23 |
| nytek_ | jolaren: hmm, so what we need is to change the systems usr source directory. just to have it point to another source | 18:23 |
| Faint` | jrib, have I seen what page? | 18:23 |
| Rabbitbunny | deadrabbit: Nah, you never need synaptic, people just like to click. | 18:23 |
| jrib | Faint`: check your private message from ubottu | 18:23 |
| wish^ | right ok.. so i will never have to login as root on ubuntu to make any changes? | 18:23 |
| wish^ | the root account is just deactivated? | 18:23 |
| nytek_ | jolaren: sorry for the confusing statement, hopefully you get the gist | 18:24 |

| Rabbitbunny | deadrabbit: Exactly. | 18:24 |
| Faint` | jrib: I've already worked with that, what I'm trying to do now is set the resolution in xorg.conf and I just need to know what that "htotal" setting means. | 18:24 |
| jolaren | nytek_; if u could come up with anythin tell me;P | 18:24 |
| deadrabbit | rabbitbunny: my first distro was gentoo, i have just become lazy | 18:25 |
| minimec | wish^: root is not used. You can get a console as root when booting in recovery mode. There you get access to the whole computer without a password... Yes that's true ;) ... | 18:25 |
| Myrtti | minimec: which is normal to almost all distros | 18:25 |
| wish^ | Ok, im sorry if i was a bit harsh on the system.. its just not what im used to from freeBSD | 18:25 |
| Myrtti | minimec: which can be protected by setting a grub password | 18:25 |

| Faint` | sipior: Thanks, I'll follow that. | 18:26 |

| minimec | Myrtti: No problem with that... ;) | 18:26 |
| Alberto2 | ciao | 18:26 |
| Myrtti | wish^: and you can set a password to prevent unauthorized access to recovery mode | 18:26 |

| wish^ | ah you mean a grub password | 18:27 |
| sayanriju | yep | 18:27 |
| nytek_ | jolaren: jolaren im not finding anything. its probably possible. but it would probably be along the lines of installing the entire system onto the server and than changing grub boot manager to that source | 18:27 |

| nytek_ | hardcorE0x1a4: have you checked the restricted drivers? | 18:32 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | I've gone the route of ndiswrapper and I've tried the native driver from the website | 18:33 |

| slawek | polisz | 18:33 |
| actionparsnip | hardcorE0x1a4: did you check the realtek site. You may have to compile drivers | 18:33 |
| CAPcap | sayanriju, om26er, I like Gnome and I didnt like KDE mostly im just new to linux and im exploring to find what i like. what would you recommend? | 18:34 |
| sayanriju | CAPcap, either | 18:34 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | Yeah as far as I can tell, Realtek doesn't ack the 8172 on their website :-\ | 18:34 |
| om26er | CAPcap, Gnome | 18:34 |
| nytek_ | CAPcap: try xfce and look for some cool looking themes | 18:34 |
| nytek_ | CAPcap: xfce is my favorite | 18:34 |
| sayanriju | CAPcap, both can be made to resemble gnome, but my personal prefernces are with lxde | 18:34 |

| om26er | still its super fast | 18:35 |
| CAPcap | om26er, what kind of work? | 18:35 |
| sayanriju | om26er, lxpanle is much easier than before with gui config tools | 18:35 |

| nytek_ | CAPcap: look on deviantart.com, they have a great variety of xfce screenshots | 18:35 |
| deadrabbit | hardcore0x1a4 : yeah there are a lot of issues with the realtek 8172 not working, though a lot of people have gotten it to work | 18:35 |
| actionparsnip | hardcorE0x1a4: then modprobe the module to see if it works. You may have to remove other modules if they are getting in the way | 18:36 |
| sayanriju | CAPcap, don't worry about looks...you can make them look like anything post install | 18:36 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | boxfish: yes i lsmod and it's listed | 18:36 |

| coz_ | CAPcap, lxde is very very fast not quite up to par | 18:43 |
| coz_ | it gnome | 18:43 |
| think43 | gnome, look same since years | 18:43 |
| CAPcap | coz_, sweet. just like i did with kde. is it possible to uninstall these later? | 18:43 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, with gnome | 18:43 |
| sayanriju | Rug, have you tried awesome3? | 18:43 |
| think43 | but kde is changed so much | 18:43 |
| h0rnman | tasslehoff, fstab would be the way to go | 18:43 |
| tasslehoff | Slart: ok. is there a way to find out how nautilus has mounted it? | 18:43 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, yep just sudo apt-get autoremove lxde | 18:43 |
| Rug | sayanriju: no, what is it? | 18:43 |
| actionparsnip | Think43: you can skin gnome so that fact is moot | 18:43 |
| Zerofire | I am having problems burning a ubuntu disk and the iso MD5 checksum is valid. | 18:43 |
| Slart | tasslehoff: try having it mounted automagically.. then type this in a terminal "cat /etc/mtab" | 18:43 |
| actionparsnip | Zerofire: burn it as slowly as possible | 18:43 |
| Rug | tasslehoff: You must be a DL fan | 18:44 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, lxde will take a day to get used to ..it is similar to xfce in ways | 18:44 |
| CAPcap | if i wanted to put kde or xfce id do the same thing but put in one of those instead of lxde right? | 18:44 |
| deadrabbit | hardcore0x1a4 : have you tried shutting off the wireless then starting it again? | 18:44 |
| Zerofire | I already burn it at 8x wich is the slowest speed. | 18:44 |
| Slart | tasslehoff: it should print out the currently mounted filesystems.. hopefully it will be included in that list | 18:44 |
| actionparsnip | Capcap: yes | 18:44 |
| sayanriju | Rug, a tiling WM. never used it, but folks at #arch claim its truly awesome. | 18:44 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, no to get rid of kde sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop | 18:44 |
| actionparsnip | Zerofire: try a different burning app | 18:44 |
| think43 | actionparsnip, hmmm, I didn't know that, I will play with that as soon as I finish installing kubuntu, and I get a good macosx style dock, Any recommendations, which is bes to use | 18:44 |
| CAPcap | coz_ i meant for installing | 18:44 |
| tasslehoff | Rug: not hardcore fan, but read some books a while ago :) | 18:44 |
| Rug | sayanriju: =) So Awesome is Awesome? | 18:44 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, installing kde? | 18:44 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | deadrabbit: I don't believe so. I have fn keys that don't seem to work in ubuntu, but I also have a hardware switch for the wireless. Do you think that may work? | 18:44 |
| sayanriju | Rug, so they say! :D | 18:45 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 18:45 |
| CAPcap | coz_, yes and xfce | 18:45 |
| actionparsnip | Coz_: that only removes the metapackage dude | 18:45 |
| coz_ | CAPcap, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 18:45 |
| actionparsnip | !puregnome | capcap | 18:45 |

| Zerofire | I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 | 18:45 |
| Rug | I'll hop into #arch and chat | 18:45 |
| tasslehoff | Slart: thanks. it's in the link you/ubottu gave me as well I see | 18:45 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | deadrabbit: When I did the native install I tryed ./wlan0up and down then back up again and that didn't produce any good results | 18:45 |
| coz_ | actionparsnip, yep sorry about that | 18:45 |
| Slart | tasslehoff: you're welcome | 18:45 |
| resno | looking for a bit of help getting wireless nic setup. | 18:45 |
| actionparsnip | Think43 you can skin both gnome and kde to look like macOs including a dockbar. | 18:46 |
| coz_ | break time be back later | 18:46 |
| deadrabbit | hardcoree0x1a4 : do an ifconfig real quick it should see a wlan0 on there as well | 18:46 |
| sayanriju | Rug, the channel is #archlinux, and i was not referring to the currently going chat there | 18:46 |
| Zerofire | I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 | 18:46 |
| actionparsnip | Coz_: got your back dude ;) | 18:46 |
| CAPcap | actionparsnip, were his directions correct for installing those though, and for uninstalling lxde? | 18:46 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | deadrabbit: yes it is | 18:46 |
| Rug | sayanriju: thanks | 18:46 |
| think43 | actionparsnip, how do I do it, apt-get install skins-what-name? This is my first ubuntu install in my life | 18:47 |
| deadrabbit | hardcoree0x1a4 : so the interface is there, just it does not see anything with the network manager? | 18:47 |
| Zerofire | I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 | 18:47 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | deadrabbit: correct | 18:47 |
| actionparsnip | Think43: there are guides and projects all over the web. You will find them very easily | 18:47 |
| deadrabbit | hardcoree0x1a4 : try shutting off the wireless then doing a restart and turn it back on | 18:47 |
| think43 | actionparsnip, what are you running? | 18:48 |
| actionparsnip | Capcap: if you uninstall the lxde package then run sudo apt-get autoremove | 18:48 |
| hardcorE0x1a4 | ok I'll brb I'm workin on the machine | 18:48 |
| actionparsnip | Capcap it will remove lxde fully | 18:48 |

| CAPcap | and to install kde i sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? | 18:48 |
| actionparsnip | Zerofire: I suggest you ask in ##windows if nero is giving you grief | 18:49 |
| sayanriju | Zerofire, probably the prob was with the 1st iso, which was corrupt? did u md5sum check as suggested? | 18:49 |
| jolaren | nytek_; I think I've found a solution. If it works this boot will go fine, heh.. | 18:49 |
| Zerofire | yes I did a MD5 checksum and it was a match. | 18:49 |

| sburwood | xangua: I've tried openoffice 3.1 and abiword | 18:55 |

| webroasters | I tried that, but it says this: | 19:14 |
| webroasters | ./RealPlayer10.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 19:14 |
| sburwood | CAPcap: I'm going to watch the TV. Bye. | 19:14 |
| actionparsnip | Jolaren: install the mythbuntu packages from the repo then. Its not a seperate OS | 19:14 |
| macman_ | actionparsnip: dim diplay when idle is unchecked | 19:15 |
| sburwood | CAPcap: and again, thx | 19:15 |
| eisenheim | ./j #backtrack-linux | 19:15 |
| actionparsnip | Webroasters: then you need to satisfy that dependancy. | 19:15 |
| webroasters | ok thanks | 19:15 |

| webroasters | i think i understand | 19:15 |
| jolaren | actionparsnip; I know it isn't but installing the repos gives alot of problems with nvidia drivers.. just installing the live cd with mythbuntu solves that | 19:16 |
| razertek | why would ubuntu slow down my internet browsing but yet my up and down speeds are normal? | 19:16 |
| deadrabbit | hrdcore0x1a4 : do a "depmod -a", then "modprobe rtl8192se_pci" | 19:16 |
| webroasters | thx ubottu, actionparsnip, I dont understand | 19:16 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: giveme 1 sec to copy that over | 19:16 |
| jolaren | So basicly I can't remove the ubuntu partition? | 19:16 |
| Rorgo | is there any way to use a wildcard in the search order in resolv.conf? | 19:16 |
| deadrabbit | hrdcore0x1a4 : if it still does not work after that then, realtek sucks | 19:16 |
| Rorgo | like, *.company.com doesn't seem to work | 19:16 |
| McL0VIN | My srvr is located at my friend house miles away...i am at work using suck balls (M$ box) that our lovely people blocks everything on the net.....i used hummingbird exceed trying to get firefox windows. using firefox& i get the FF window but it is very slow can someone please suggest what could be wrong! | 19:16 |
| actionparsnip | Webroaster: if you have libstdc++ of a later version, you can symlink to the file it expects to keep it happy | 19:17 |
| webroasters | oh ok | 19:17 |
| webroasters | thanks again guys | 19:17 |

| Talon_ | is there a similar terminal for gnome as konsole? I miss always having that tab bar and one click new tab. | 19:20 |
| actionparsnip | Razertek: worth a try. Dnsmasq will speed up all webbrowsing | 19:20 |
| deadrabbit | hrdcore0x1a4 : did you download and unzip that file i linked you? | 19:20 |
| rmt | With a login script and xrandr, I can change the resolution back to 1920x1080, but I'd love to track down what changes it in the gdm process. X by itself starts up with the correct mode. | 19:20 |
| actionparsnip | Talon: tilda or guake | 19:20 |
| antonius | xangua: thx...i'll be sticking to dropbox then....also, actionparsnip...can't imagine how that's off topic, but anyways. good for you lol | 19:20 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: I used a more recent version but I believe it would be the same? | 19:20 |

| hellyeah | what is thesis dedication | 19:21 |
| razertek | actionparsnip: k i will research dnsmasq..ty | 19:21 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: I used rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1211.2009 | 19:21 |

| ithingLinux | is there any way that I can connect trough my mobile broadband connection with 3g / UTMS | 19:23 |
| usser | rmt, there was a bug in xorg a while ago when gdm picked the first res mode that was specified in xorg.conf, try creating an xorg file with 1920x1080 as the first and only available resolution | 19:23 |
| chrisloukas | hi | 19:23 |

| Turbolinux | I installed a program which named ''gddrescue''. I am running it on command line client now but what command is needed for rescue data from hard disk? | 19:24 |
| usser | nunatak, get an nvidia card | 19:24 |
| usser | hanophix33, run sudo apt-get update | 19:24 |
| Talon_ | hah, guake doesnt work | 19:24 |
| alfredo_ | amule | 19:24 |
| rmt | usser: Yep - trying all sorts of things with that, PreferredMode etc. It seems to occur after the PreSession scripts are called.. | 19:24 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: I thought cpying the firmware folder copied the ko file as well. Thats my fault. I can't locate that ko file though? | 19:24 |
| deadrabbit | hrdcore0x1a4 : make sure also that the rtl8192se driver was not blacklisted, check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 19:24 |
| actionparsnip | Turbolinux: if the partition and drive show no data then foremost will be a good app too. Why don't you just restore from backups? | 19:25 |
| actionparsnip | Talon_: run it again. I have to runit twice the first time its ran | 19:25 |
| pat|nG | system > hardware > Broadcom STA wireless not activated.....when i try to activate it gives me error.....i already install b43 fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source | 19:25 |

| nunatak_ | actionparsnip: I don't have the card yet, I'll try check the compatibility before I buy it | 19:26 |
| actionparsnip | Nunatak_: I know but the website is accessible from any pc attatched to the web so you can check | 19:26 |
| Talon_ | oh man, its like spanned across my desktop, i don't like it :/ I just want a tab bar in my gnome-terminal, I'd install Konsole but i really dont want to install all the KDE packages it needs | 19:26 |
| actionparsnip | Nunatak_: wise for checking compatibility too :) | 19:26 |
| nunatak_ | actionparsnip: ok. I'll see | 19:27 |
| happyface | what font does the default gnome terminal use? | 19:27 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: Its not listed in the blacklist conf file. As a side question if I take out usbmouse and usbkeyboard Could that be why my usb ports don't work? | 19:27 |
| actionparsnip | Talon: you can make it not 100% of the screen width. Terminal supports tabs too you know | 19:27 |
| webroasters | lol, hey guys, remember me from a few seconds ago. I found a DEB package for RealPlayer 11!! Heres' the link: http://www.real.com/linux | 19:28 |

| patrick | h | 19:29 |
| Turbolinux | actionparsnip, I can't do this because I didn't backup datas from my computer's hard disk. I must rescue datas. Do you know needed command for save data with Gddrescue program? | 19:29 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest69738 | ||
| Talon_ | yeah, thats dumb, not what im lookin for, i want that tab bar always, and a single click button to lanch a new tab like konsole | 19:29 |

| hrdcore0x1a4 | I'm contemplating just trying to get usb to work and maybe buying a usb wireless adapter | 19:29 |

| hrdcore0x1a4 | actionparsnip: I just updated but I' haven't rebooted yet | 19:29 |
| actionparsnip | Turbolinux: then the data is disposable | 19:29 |
| swizzcheez | Grrr -- anyone run into a grub issue where after boot all you get is "GRUB loading." (no stage anything) and the hard drive light goes nuts like it's scanning through something? | 19:29 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit & actionparsnip: I'll brb I'm going down for a reboot | 19:30 |
| swizzcheez | (After boot means after the system gets to GRUB, so H/W seems to be okay) | 19:30 |
| cHarNe2 | hi how to move window up and down in irssi? not using the pgup/pgdn (using mac through shh->screen->isrri) | 19:30 |
| Turbolinux | So I can't rescue datas isn't it? | 19:30 |
| CAPcap | Is it possible to have applications that install with KDE/GNOME/LXDE only show up in their respective environments with out editing every menu item by hand? | 19:30 |
| actionparsnip | Tubolinux: use foremost to get the data off. You may have to use testdisk to create partition flags. | 19:30 |
| usser | CAPcap, nope | 19:30 |
| trism | cHarNe2: esc p and esc n | 19:30 |
| CAPcap | thats lame. well thanks | 19:31 |
| usser | CAPcap, that's standard compliance kde,gnome,lxde all use freedesktop menu specifications. ie put their programs in the menu in the same manner | 19:31 |
| actionparsnip | Turbolinux: get a backup system. You have learned the hardest way possible. Imagine if the motor failed and you couldn't even attempt a file restore. Where is your data then? | 19:31 |
| cHarNe2 | trism: THNX xD! :) | 19:31 |

| mkny | any takers? I tried googling it, but the terms are so generic (file, browse, windows share) I couldn't find anything relevant | 19:32 |
| actionparsnip | Razertek: chmod +x ./script; ./script | 19:32 |
| actionparsnip | Razertek: just add the chromium daily ppa instead. Easier | 19:33 |
| CAPcap | usser if i edit them in one environ, is it gonna edit them in all of them? | 19:33 |
| boxfish | swizzcheez, but it can mean that something has happened to the partitions, or something is getting chewed up. Have you tried the supergrubdisk boot disc. It can be used to boot machines even when grub is screwed | 19:33 |
| swizzcheez | boxfish: I can see the disks and data using the installer CD, so it looks like the partitions and OS are fine. | 19:33 |
| usser | CAPcap, in environment? as in right click on the menu -> edit? | 19:33 |
| swizzcheez | boxfish: It just looks like GRUB can't even get to stage 1.5... | 19:34 |
| swizzcheez | boxfish: ('cept everything in /boot looks normal) | 19:34 |
| Turbolinux | I know actionparsnip but I didn't have a free time to do this. | 19:34 |
| CAPcap | usser i know how to edit. my question is if I take an item off the menu in LXDE or KDE will it also be remove from my GNOME menu? | 19:34 |
| Sensiva | Is there open source alternative to shoutcast? | 19:34 |
| boxfish | mkny, you want to mount it on the filesystem | 19:35 |
| usser | CAPcap, no. i dont know how its done in kde or lxde but when you edit the menu in gnome it doesnt ask for sudo password meaning all the changes that you make only affect your personal account and are not systemwide | 19:35 |

| Issues2315 | loops, i'm on 9.10 now. happyface, i do belive its an Intel yes, Ath5 drivers or somthing. | 19:37 |
| boxfish | if you use supergrubdisk and it does work, you will then know it grub not something else (and the system will boot) so you can then play with the grub.conf or whatever its called. Last time I had problems it was to do with the new ubuntu using the disks uuid in stead of the old style /dev/sda1 etc | 19:37 |
| hrdcore0x1a4 | deadrabbit: Alright so I rebooted after updating and when I came into the desktop the wireless was not on and i was like hell ya. So I cd to the dir of the driver did ./wlan0up and the wireless came up, but still no scan!!!!! ahhhhhhh I'm taking this POS back | 19:37 |

| hiexpo | hello all | 20:31 |
| speedxxxcore | dragon: should one use ext2 on the /tmp? What does the /tmp do? | 20:31 |
| nowy2 | Good nights from Europe... i've a 'houston' | 20:31 |
| grendal_prime_ | hey i need to be able to put a dvd into one machine and then play it on another amchine on the network. Do i have to encode it to do that. Or is there a probram for streeming on the fly for that sort of thing? | 20:31 |
| guntbert | bobbytek: gnome-terminla has a menu too - the shortcuts are there too | 20:32 |
| Pici | speedxxxcore: Most users have no need for a separate /tmp partition. | 20:32 |
| syed | Hello? | 20:32 |
| speedxxxcore | Pici: what does the /tmp do? | 20:32 |
| nowy2 | where can i get help about problems with Dell notebooks&Ubuntu ? | 20:32 |
| xangua | !ask | nowy2 | 20:32 |
| ubottu | nowy2: 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. :-) | 20:32 |
| speedxxxcore | Pici: I just want to speed stuff up. if tmp is for temp files. I like to go with ext2 and raid 0 | 20:32 |
| Trek | nowy2: ubuntuforums.org or here | 20:32 |
| syed | umm i have a problem with installing stuff from ubuntu software center | 20:32 |
| hiexpo | man gnome-terminal | 20:32 |
| sahil | dragon: i did all the tests md5 and media check, im now trying 9.04 | 20:32 |
| syed | it says the package as failed or somthing | 20:32 |
| Pici | speedxxxcore: /tmp is for temporary files. | 20:32 |
| jimcooncat | I thought /tmp used tempfs | 20:32 |
| syed | but it always is installed | 20:32 |
| speedxxxcore | Pici: so then it might just speed stuff up? I plan on 8gb raid 0 ext2 | 20:33 |
| Myrtti | jimcooncat: it's not necessarily or even in most cases a separate partition | 20:33 |
| boxfish | grendal_prime_ : you shoudl be able to share a mounted dvd across a network and then read it from another machine | 20:33 |
| hiexpo | syed, why did it say failed what error | 20:33 |
| nowy2 | i've installed Karmic_64 on a dell studio 1557 and i've problems with Wifi adaptor and sound volume special keys :( | 20:33 |
| MrsApple | does anybody know the az loco channel name? | 20:33 |
| syed | umm | 20:33 |
| bobbytek | guntbert, No dice | 20:33 |
| dragon | speedxxxcore: if you have enough RAM, you can mount /tmp on your /dev/ram0 . I haven't seen real speed improvements doing that though. | 20:33 |
| dragon | MrsApple: #ubuntu-us-az ? | 20:34 |
| MrsApple | yes. thx dragon | 20:34 |

| jrib | mechtn: why? | 20:34 |
| jief- | hello.i manage a fairly large park of ubuntu servers. i was wondering what people used to patch their systems? i need something central. Please don't mention Landscape as I know already about that tool. | 20:34 |
| syed | hiexpo, it says package operation failed | 20:34 |
| mechtn | like i used a cat command to dump abunch of stuff about my codec#0 for sound | 20:34 |
| guntbert | bobbytek: edit/select all - then <shift><ctrl> c works here | 20:34 |
| dragon | speedxxxcore: if you use programs that heavily rely on /tmp, then it'd make sense. Otherwise, yes, it's unnecessary. | 20:35 |
| mechtn | jrib - just wanting to look through it and see what all it says | 20:35 |
| hiexpo | what package? | 20:35 |
| guntbert | !who | hiexpo | 20:35 |
| ubottu | hiexpo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 20:35 |
| jrib | mechtn: maybe lshw but I don't really know what you are looking for | 20:35 |
| syed | whenever i isntall or uninstall | 20:35 |
| syed | it says it | 20:35 |
| dragon | !enter | syed | 20:36 |
| ubottu | syed: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:36 |
| hiexpo | guntbert, sorry i know better | 20:36 |
| speedxxxcore | dragon: I also run the swap area as raid0, now that will make swapping twice as fast, if memory runs out? Right? | 20:36 |
| guntbert | hiexpo: np :) | 20:36 |
| dragon | speedxxxcore: how much memory do you have? | 20:36 |
| MrsApple | hey, think anyone can help me with a flash issue? im on ubuntu 9.04, and it wont let me go on youtube or anything like that. i just dl the new version of adobe flash player but its STILL not working. any thoughts? | 20:36 |
| speedxxxcore | dragon: 4gb | 20:36 |
| bobbytek | guntbert, I don't have a select all :( | 20:36 |
| jrib | MrsApple: restart your browser | 20:36 |
| syed | So, is there a way i can fix this problem? | 20:36 |
| dragon | speedxxxcore: you'd never even use the swap practically, so it doesn't matter even if you don't have a swap. | 20:37 |
| syed | btw it wont even let me log into facebook anymore too, i tried it on my other computer and it let me on but on this it wouldnt | 20:37 |
| xangua | MrsApple: install it from repositories | 20:37 |
| sahil | ok i just tried installing with 9.04 (was using 9.10 earlier), and partitioning still hangs at 33% | 20:37 |
| hiexpo | syed, have you done system update / upgrade and update? | 20:37 |
| Turbolinux | How I can configure Foremost program for transferring data to my portable hard disk? I need to backup my data. Please answer question. | 20:37 |
| MrsApple | i did install it form repositories. ill try restarting the browser. if that doesnt work, any other suggestions? | 20:38 |
| syed | Hiexpo: yes i have | 20:38 |
| dragon | speedxxxcore: swap is the amount of memory you wish you had. If you never fill your existing one, you never get to it. | 20:38 |
| FabioTheApe | hey do you guys know a good place where i can find out more about the cli? | 20:38 |
| jrib | MrsApple: come back | 20:38 |
| syed | i tried it a few mins ago and it said i was updated. | 20:38 |
| mechtn | jrib: settings like the amount of memory it has and things like that.. | 20:38 |
| jrib | mechtn: lshw probably tells you that | 20:38 |

| Tyxow | what's the linux-meta? | 21:03 |
| MrsApple | GAAAAH. im so frustrated!! i have installed it 4 times now and if i go on youtube it keeps telling me that i either have java scripting turned off (and we checked its all enabled or whatever) or that we dont have the newest version. | 21:03 |
| Andorin | FabioTheApe: I'm pretty sure they are... I have it sending to the smtp server smtp.live.com, which apparently is the right server... | 21:03 |
| MrsApple | jrib | 21:03 |
| Chr1z | e-DIO-t: Ok... I figured it couldn't be too much difference.. | 21:04 |
| syed | hiexpo, so was there a fix to my facebook problem? | 21:04 |
| Chr1z | Thanks guys.. I appreciate the info... | 21:04 |
| usser | Chr1z, not much actually. /etc/network/interfaces in ubuntu controls network settings, not sure of equivalent for RH | 21:04 |
| jrib | MrsApple: pastebin the same command I asked you about before | 21:04 |
| FabioTheApe | Andorin, I believe you have to make a few other changes too... | 21:04 |
| FabioTheApe | like the port... | 21:04 |
| e-DIO-t | there was some diff in the "PATH" | 21:04 |
| e-DIO-t | yep: up for usser i agree! | 21:04 |
| FabioTheApe | but i don't remember exactly, but if you go the gmail help pages there are good directions there | 21:04 |
| MrsApple | it says the same thing jrib. :( | 21:04 |
| obaid | gmail pop and smtp requires ssl | 21:04 |
| jrib | MrsApple: pastebin, I can't see it | 21:05 |
| Andorin | I've never had to specify a port for Evolution before... | 21:05 |
| Tyxow | sorry.. what's the "linux-meta" ? | 21:05 |
| Chr1z | usser: well I could always load rhel at home but for something ar home I believe ubuntu is more up to date :) some of the rhel packages are a bit old | 21:05 |
| syed | dam | 21:05 |
| obaid | ? | 21:05 |
| MrsApple | http://paste.ubuntu.com/367075/ jrib | 21:05 |
| obaid | sayed | 21:05 |
| syed | oh, well im having problems install pograms | 21:06 |
| usser | Chr1z, im not a big fan of redhat or any rpm distro for that matter. one thing i'm sure you'll come to appreciate on ubuntu is apt-get and aptitude | 21:06 |
| FabioTheApe | Andorin, I am just asking you to verify that the settings are correct | 21:06 |
| jrib | MrsApple: it's still not installed. Did you install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package with synaptic like I said? | 21:06 |
| syed | when ever i do it says package not found or somthing. | 21:06 |
| obaid | what problems | 21:06 |
| FabioTheApe | if you can't do what i ask you to do then I can't help you | 21:06 |
| Andorin | FabioTheApe: I'm pretty sure they are. | 21:06 |
| obaid | u do what ? | 21:06 |
| Andorin | I've, like, quadruple-checked the smtp address. | 21:06 |
| obaid | syed, | 21:06 |
| syed | and another problem was firefox wouldnt load facebook after i had put my login information | 21:06 |
| e-DIO-t | seya | 21:06 |
| Chr1z | usser: yeah..rpm has major dependency problems... you are definately right about that | 21:07 |
| FabioTheApe | wait you use gmail? | 21:07 |
| doolph | hello | 21:07 |
| Belial` | i never ran into dependency problems with rpm distros as of late. | 21:07 |
| MrsApple | we tried that one and it didnt work either. | 21:07 |
| MrsApple | jrib | 21:07 |
| doolph | I have problem with my microphone | 21:07 |
| FabioTheApe | and you say the server is smtp.live.com? | 21:07 |
| doolph | it is not working any advice? | 21:07 |
| syed | obaid,when i try to download or uninstall somthing, it gets to 75% and says package operation failed. | 21:07 |
| jrib | MrsApple: not with me. | 21:07 |
| Belial` | i think that's just a myth that everyone has kind of stuck with. | 21:07 |
| duffydack | Where would one check to see if any problems detecting and loading modules for audio? dmesg? | 21:07 |
| jrib | MrsApple: install the package. Test. Pastebin that command. | 21:08 |
| usser | Belial`, opensuse 10 YAST package manager was a nightmare. at times took up to an hour just to refresh repo list | 21:08 |
| obaid | syed, how do u install/uninstall ? | 21:08 |
| FabioTheApe | Andorin, ??? | 21:08 |
| syed | obaid, i use ubuntu software center | 21:08 |
| doolph | hello | 21:08 |
| Andorin | FabioTheApe: No, I'm trying to get it working for both Gmail and Hotmail, though Hotmail is more important at the moment. | 21:08 |
| doolph | anyone can help me with my sound card? | 21:08 |
| FabioTheApe | Oh... | 21:08 |
| doolph | my microphone is not working | 21:08 |
| moejama | I have Pidgin and Xchat set to start on boot, how can I have them start minimized or better yet to the system tray like in windows ? | 21:08 |
| FabioTheApe | I don't know if hotmail supports pop3 | 21:08 |
| karlzt_ | Does this: http://userstyles.org/ exist for chromium? | 21:08 |
| MrsApple | jrib, erm. ok. | 21:08 |
| syed | obaid, i try terminal sometimes, but it also comes back with errors. | 21:08 |
| obaid | syed, probably u have internet problem, that is why your facebook doesn't load well | 21:08 |
| jrib | MrsApple: this is the only thing I've asked you to do | 21:09 |
| Chr1z | Belial`: It's not quite as common as it was.. but if you upgrade from one rhel version to the next it happens.... especially on certain hardware... It also happens if you have a webserver running and need a slightly newer version of something... and the rpm isn't available so you do it from source... then use rpm for something that's required by the package later.. it breaks things... | 21:09 |
| syed | obaid, but facebook was working on my other computer | 21:09 |
| Andorin | FabioTheApe: pop3 would be for receiving email, wouldn't it? | 21:09 |
| KristianDK | how do i make an "ip addr add" stay forever, even after reboot? | 21:09 |
| FabioTheApe | well if pop3 doesn't work why would smtp> | 21:09 |
| karlzt_ | I mean an alternative for that | 21:09 |
| obaid | can u tell me about the errors, syed | 21:09 |
| FabioTheApe | smtp? | 21:09 |
| xangua | FabioTheApe: hotmail supports pop3 since almost 1 and half years ago | 21:09 |
| moejama | wow the questions are flying in here | 21:09 |
| syed | obaid, for facebook or the installation errors. | 21:09 |
| FabioTheApe | xangua, oh well that was about the last time i used hotmail | 21:09 |
| Andorin | FabioTheApe: I can receive email just fine. Sending it is what doesn't work. | 21:10 |
| obaid | nou, ubuntu software center errors, or errors u get during apt-get installations | 21:10 |
| sharperguy | Anyone know what the name of the feature is where when you switch to a non-widescreen resolution on a widescreen screen, it puts a black border to fix the aspect ratio? | 21:10 |
| xangua | moejama: enable pidgin and x chat tray icons | 21:10 |
| Trek | Andorin, are you having issues with hotmail and email clients? | 21:10 |
| FabioTheApe | ehh... i have to go. | 21:10 |
| Chr1z | Belial`: rpm works well for the most part.... yum updates usually are flawless for me as well.. just on occasion it screws up.. but when it does it seems to screw up bad... | 21:10 |
| Andorin | Trek: Yeah. When I try to send email through both Gmail and Hotmail with Evolution, it hangs on "sending message 1 of 1" for a while then fails. | 21:10 |
| === numen__ is now known as numen | ||
| FabioTheApe | i try not to hang out at work naymore then i have too | 21:11 |
| Trek | AndorinL: when sending through which client? Gmail, hotmail, or both? | 21:11 |
| Andorin | Trek: Both. | 21:11 |
| obaid | Andorin, i am sure it is setting issue, evolution works fine for me @ gmail | 21:11 |
| syed | obaid, well for the installation, like i said, i get package peration failed or somthing | 21:11 |
| Trek | Andorin: first, I was unaware that Hotmail lets you use external email clients | 21:12 |
| obaid | syed, i cant understand that error, in detail plz | 21:12 |
| Andorin | obaid: Well, it would probably help if I pointed out that I've never found an absolutely definitive guide on setting this sort for thing up. | 21:12 |

| === jon is now known as Guest29850 | ||
| MrsApple | http://paste.ubuntu.com/367084/ jrib | 21:14 |
| arand | futurama140: have you had a look at the wine appdb? | 21:14 |
| unperson | What's the deal with hardware decoding of video in Ubuntu (say, karmic)? Am I correct in assuming that hardware decoding will be used by the major players (mplayer, totem, xine, and vlc) for formats my nvidia chipset supports? Or would I have to do something special (beyond enabling the restricted drivers) to enable it? | 21:14 |
| olskolirc | what is the command line for me to use to bring up my graphic card settings and pick "recommended" | 21:14 |
| urlwallace | I need software to make the keys click when pressed google my head hurt.Please | 21:14 |
| obaid | Xorg --configure ?? | 21:15 |
| syed | my bad, i didnt no what a paste bin was. | 21:15 |
| futurama140 | arand: yes and it doesnt make any sense to me. i just started using ubuntu and it seems every single thing i do there are undocumented problems. | 21:15 |
| jrib | MrsApple: one minute (multitasking) | 21:15 |
| obaid | paste.ubuntu.com | 21:15 |
| MrsApple | np. thank you so much jrib!!! | 21:15 |
| syed | obaid, alright | 21:15 |
| futurama140 | arand: at any rate the wineappdb doesnt talk about my various issues. | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | obaid: only one - is -configure | 21:16 |
| obaid | urlwallace, why u want your keys to click when u press them | 21:16 |
| syed | obaid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/367085/ | 21:17 |
| unperson | I gather that hardware acceleration for video decoding is tied up with a library called vdpau, but it isn't clear to me how that may or may not be used in Ubuntu. | 21:17 |
| urlwallace | obald mushy keyboard miss alt of them.I have great keyboarding skills have had click keys until this leyboard | 21:18 |
| usser | unperson, vdpau is pretty recent its not included in karmic. Newest mplayer supports it but im not sure if its going to make it into 10.04 | 21:18 |
| macman_ | anyone using a dell studio 17 inch .. if so how is it going for you and have you found any issues with it .. im getting mine on tuesday .. currently im on a dell precision m90 running ubuntu .. also for anyone else .. i asked this in #ubuntu-offtopic and i got no reply | 21:18 |
| urlwallace | sory spelling | 21:18 |
| syed | obaid, is there a way i can ping facebook? | 21:18 |
| obaid | ping facebook.com | 21:18 |
| unperson | usser, So the bottom line is that for a default install with restricted nvidia drivers and appropriate codec libraries added (w32codecs, etc.) all decoding will still be done in software, not using the hardware decoding features of the video chipset? | 21:19 |
| futurama140 | arand: i want to install the original fallout game from and ISO, its a win98 game. can you help me? | 21:19 |
| Trek | obaid syed: why would you need to ping facebook? | 21:19 |
| syed | Trek, to see if i get a single from facebook | 21:19 |
| jrib | MrsApple: alright back. Yeah, the libflashplayer.so isn't getting installed. Let's remove it and go with the adobe one | 21:19 |
| syed | trek, beacuse it wont load after i put my login information in. | 21:20 |
| Trek | syed, could be system lag on their end | 21:20 |
| === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon | ||
| usser | unperson, well you can always switch your video rendered from xv to gl or gl2(thats what its called in mplayer anyways) then it'll be accelerated | 21:20 |
| usser | *renderer | 21:20 |
| Trek | syed, i can access facebook fine, hence why I asked | 21:20 |
| obaid | syed, i am able to install prism-facebook without problems, sudo apt-get install prism-facebook | 21:20 |
| syed | obaid, alright | 21:20 |
| unperson | usser, So this goes out of my depth...but I would think that would only accelerate the drawing, not the decoding. | 21:21 |
| MrsApple | jrib, ok. ill let you know when its done. | 21:21 |
| usser | unperson, yes thats true. | 21:21 |
| syed | obaid, i think i still get an error. | 21:21 |
| jrib | MrsApple: so: sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree, then download: http://www.adobe.com/go/fp10_linux_deb and double click on the resulting deb | 21:21 |
| syed | trek, i tried logging in but it wont let me. | 21:21 |
| arand | futurama140: I can only give general hints... One thing you might want to test is the "playonlinux" package, which is meant to simplify wine configuration.. | 21:22 |
| Trek | syed, does it return an error, or just hang on the login page with a "loading" thing? | 21:22 |
| usser | unperson, or you can actually compile latest mplayer or whatever other player that supports vdpau by hand | 21:22 |
| unperson | usser, right | 21:22 |
| syed | trek, it hang on the login page with a loading thing. | 21:22 |

| ventz | Is there a way to store the ssh known_hosts without encrypting them? | 21:23 |
| arand | futurama140: on second note, seems like it only has premade settings for fallout3, so might not be that useful | 21:23 |
| ventz | ii use known_hosts to generate a dynamic tab-completed ssh list, and it's kind of breaking it completely | 21:23 |

| maco | like 2.26? | 21:52 |
| === Guest67694 is now known as me777 | ||
| maco | kaduk: if you go back to 9.04 and never upgrade to a newer version of gnome than 2.26, you can have the old non-pulseaudio applet | 21:52 |

| PrototypeX29A | that would be kind of a compromise | 21:59 |
| maco | kaduk: most of the things people blame on pulsaudio are really just that they have terrible sound drivers | 21:59 |
| MTec007 | sleepr, thats overkill:) | 21:59 |
| kaduk | maco, actually it did not work on any of my systems, never with different drivers and drifferent distributions I was usually removing it | 21:59 |

| moreia | I'm trying to troubleshoot a new monitor (dell 1907FP) and I'm not sure where to start. Forum searches keep landing me at wanting to look at my xorg.conf but ... I don't have one. I'm on 9.10, running on a laptop. The issue is that just detecting monitors with Display doesn't give me the full resolution I want. Can someone point me in the right direction? | 23:17 |
| soreau | futurama140_: First thing wrong with that is thinking that there's no support for older ati cards. any radeon card made in this century has 3D support as far back as the 7000 | 23:17 |
| Picipod | arand: wrong channel again? | 23:18 |
| === mikko_ is now known as lnzq | ||
| futurama140_ | soreau: there is no ubuntu driver for my ATI card that also supports 3d acceleration. ive been attempting it for a year now. | 23:19 |
| arand | Picipod: Yea, apparently my brain is incompatible with irssi split windows.. | 23:19 |
| soreau | futurama140_: Which card model is it? | 23:19 |
| futurama140_ | i dont remember, it was a proprietary slimline card that came with a slimline dell optiplex 755 | 23:20 |
| patx2 | i have a web browser what do i have to do to get it into the packegs for the next version of ubuntu? | 23:20 |
| === edogawa_ is now known as edogawa | ||
| soreau | futurama140_: Well it would help to know the model as reported by lspci. Do you still have it? | 23:21 |
| Picipod | patx2: next version? What exactly are you trying to do? | 23:21 |
| ardchoille | patx2: Don't mix version packages, that can damage your system. If you want higher versions the best thing to do is to upgrade to the newest Ubuntu | 23:21 |
| JayCool | submit it to launch pad community repos | 23:21 |
| futurama140_ | yea just let me go grab... oh wait i remember its a radeon x1300 | 23:21 |
| patx2 | no no no | 23:21 |
| patx2 | i want people to be able to do sudo apt-get install my_web_browser | 23:22 |
| patx2 | RIGHT out of the box | 23:22 |
| patx2 | how could i do that? | 23:22 |
| soreau | futurama140_: That card definitely has 3D support right out of the box unless you are trying an old version of ubuntu | 23:22 |

| patx2 | arand, i have it made in a .deb... do i still have to file in lp? | 23:25 |
| futurama140_ | ive tried it. it doesnt work. the 3d support is non-existant. i tried several drivers, and none of them will display simple 3d images, let alone games. | 23:25 |
| jonzbcc | hello, does anyone know how I can tell *exactly* which NIC i have (some command I'm guessing) -- or evena GUI app? | 23:25 |
| jrib | jonzbcc: lshw? | 23:26 |
| soreau | futurama140_: I am telling you, it works. Try a karmic live cd. 3D will already be working | 23:26 |
| orangeMUFFIN | hello all | 23:26 |
| soreau | futurama140_: If you have any problems, we can help you in #radeon | 23:26 |
| jeeves_Moss | soreau, thanks | 23:26 |
| futurama140_ | ugh, fine, ill tear open the case again and try it, but i know its not going to work. | 23:27 |

| patx2 | ok thanks | 23:28 |
| Stormx2 | Hi. xdotool seems to work fine from an open gnome-terminal, but won't find windows when opened from a gnome-panel application launcher. Why? | 23:28 |
| orangeMUFFIN | so cheese is the only webcam recording tool? | 23:29 |
| FloodBot4 | !netsplit | 23:29 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:29 |
| orangeMUFFIN | so cheese is the only webcam recording tool? | 23:29 |
| CShadowRun | orangeMUFFIN: no? | 23:29 |

| duff | Why when I have pubkeyauth enabled in ssh, does it still work with no key installed on server, and just password used? | 23:30 |
| PrototypeX29A | orangeMUFFIN: wouldn't it be better to have full editing tool instead of more editing stuffed in a video grabber? | 23:31 |
| phong_ | during boot up i see a list of boot option and i see windows 7 but it wont boot from it | 23:31 |
| ta | how can I move the menu bars from one monitor to the other in extended desktop? I have the menu bar on the right monitor, but I want to move it to the monitor on left | 23:31 |

| JayCool | hey is jonob, Jono Bacon ? | 23:34 |
| duff | Pici, I thought I could turn off password auth off? | 23:34 |
| duff | Pici, I mean, I thought having pubkeyauth enabled used that only.. well I want pubkeyauth enabled only.. no passwords allowed | 23:34 |
| Pici | duff: You can. I assumed you didn't. | 23:34 |
| M1DLGpc | jono bacon does the FLOSS weekly podcast, www.twit.tv | 23:35 |

| orangeMUFFIN | arand: ok. i'm sure i will figure something out :D | 23:36 |
| M1DLGpc | is there anyway I can use the live disk to find grub if it's still on my machine and get it fixed.?? | 23:36 |
| duff | Pici, I want it to use keys only... not if it doesnt find one, accept a password anyway...can it be done? | 23:36 |

| jrib | MrsApple: ok. Do you want to try some more? | 23:38 |
| MrsApple | if your up to it that would be awesome! | 23:38 |
| Viper550 | Okay, is there anything you'd have to do if you install ubuntu on a system with synpatico high speed? | 23:38 |
| JayCool | oh if i where you i'd look in the repos via Synaptic for the theme engine | 23:38 |
| _Tristan | JayCool: I have it "installed" but it still doesn't work | 23:39 |
| arand | M1DLGpc: ah, that will be windows having overwritten the part of grub that is in the MBR, should be a simple matter or reinstating grub... | 23:39 |
| jrib | MrsApple: where are you now? Does ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so still exist? | 23:39 |

| JayCool | Hmm idk what to tell you then :( do you have a theme that uses that engine installed? | 23:41 |
| airtonix | !who | JayCool | 23:41 |
| ubottu | JayCool: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:41 |
| lenina | jrib: um, it's for ubuntu beginners, who are unexperienced with logs - so i thought i could post it here | 23:41 |
| jrib | noah: it will probably "just work" if you symlink to the plugins instead | 23:41 |
| duff | Pici, damnit.. I forgot to take out the # | 23:42 |
| duff | Damn #`s" | 23:42 |
| _Tristan | JayCool: yeah, human uses it. Human just doesn't work properly, it falls back to buttons/scrollbars/etc from raleigh | 23:42 |
| noah | jrib: i tried that, no luck | 23:42 |
| Pici | duff: :) | 23:42 |
| jrib | noah: how did you do that exactly? | 23:42 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, have you tried installing it via other methods ? | 23:42 |
| _Tristan | airtonix: you mean like compiling it? | 23:42 |
| airtonix | !info gtk2-engines-murrine | 23:43 |
| ubottu | gtk2-engines-murrine (source: gtk2-engines-murrine): cairo-based gtk+-2.0 theme engine. In component main, is optional. Version 0.90.3-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 70 kB, installed size 216 kB | 23:43 |
| noah | jrib: tried a few things... one thing i tried was "sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin flashplugin-alternative.so" | 23:43 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, the way you install such package from the live cd is add the cd as a source to synaptics | 23:44 |
| _Tristan | airtonix: I assumed since the human theme is on the livecd it'd already be installed | 23:44 |
| duff | Pici, ok but... with that off, How can I add my public key? | 23:44 |
| duff | Pici, its asking for pubkey only.... I cant ssh-copy-id | 23:44 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, i don't think everything on the cd gets installed | 23:45 |
| JayCool | _Tristan , I screwed up my theme engine once did you by change have a failed update? , if so reinstall it and the gtk2 engine and theme i'd say | 23:45 |
| noah | jrib: OH i think i see the problem... LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so [/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64] | 23:45 |
| Pici | duff: Clearly. You'd need to have password auth enabled to copy your key. | 23:45 |
| jrib | noah: there you go | 23:45 |
| _Tristan | JayCool: it happed just at the end of an update. I, however, have reinstalled pretty much everything gnome/gtk related since with no success. | 23:46 |
| duff | Pici, so, enable it to copy key, disable it afterwards? sounds a bit of a pain. | 23:46 |

| jrib | lenina: forum post or blog post I suppose | 23:47 |
| airtonix | lenina, you could lookinto using either github or launchpad ? | 23:47 |
| duff | jrib, I thought maybe, it would allow the password 1 time for the key copying process... | 23:47 |
| duff | jrib, not for proper ssh access.... | 23:47 |
| jrib | duff: what's the difference? | 23:47 |
| jrib | I mean I can just copy whatever key I want then | 23:47 |
| JayCool | _Tristan, does it by any change say error failed software install when starting synaptic? did you run the command it said to fix? | 23:47 |
| lenina | airtonix: github/launchpad is a bit too much for a 49-line-script, even if its useful :) but thanks | 23:48 |
| airtonix | lenina, for launchpad sure... but not github...its perfect | 23:48 |
| _Tristan | JayCool: no, it doesn't | 23:48 |
| duff | jrib, PasswordAuthentication no = no key copying, no passwords at all... PasswordAuthentication yes = password access all the time.. | 23:48 |
| _Tristan | JayCool: but I think it did before. I don't remember what I did. | 23:48 |
| duff | jrib, I thought maybe with keyauth enabled and passauth disabled, it would at least me able to copy my key.. | 23:49 |
| duff | doesnt matter dude.. I`ve got it covered. | 23:49 |
| JayCool | Hmm Ok , Hey does anyone have the command to fix failed software installs via Synaptic ? | 23:49 |
| JayCool | i forget it | 23:50 |
