| BHoward | FluxD, post the output of your iwconfig and lspci to the pastebin | 00:05 |

| Simon1245 | BluesKaj, It says it's already installed | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | frank007, ubuntu uses kernel source drivers that are supposed to work with your hardware | 00:06 |
| Simon1245 | ZykoticK9, Is there any way to get it working? | 00:07 |
| cant | you need to know the hardware, then check the manufacturers website, sometime they have linux software suppoort.. Im also new so Im sorry I cant help you more. | 00:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | Simon1245, not sure really - i don't have the same hardware, one guy suggests not selecting modem and that fixed it for him??? | 00:08 |
| Simon1245 | Yea, I readed that sentence aswell | 00:08 |
| Simon1245 | I will try | 00:08 |
| frank007 | ok - so how can i establish that my wireless net work card is working - it seems its not coz i cant connect wirelessly | 00:08 |
| Simon1245 | Is he talking about software modem? | 00:08 |

| meowbuntu | put = out | 00:09 |

| Simon1245 | Thanks it works now | 00:10 |
| ssmy | meowbuntu: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb, google solves that pretty quick... | 00:10 |

| meowbuntu | ZykoticK9, no not mainstreem or all software you can by games etc would be packeged with a ubuntu installer. | 00:11 |
| FluxD | ok thanks BHoward why did they remove it since I know 9.04 had it ? | 00:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | meowbuntu, and just so you're not disappointed later with other software - Ubuntu does not typically update any software in a version unless there are security issues | 00:11 |
| ssmy | meowbuntu: this is a support channel. have your flamewar elsewhere. | 00:12 |
| BHoward | no idea, I just make sure I always stay away from broadcom cards. | 00:12 |
| Simon1245 | I'm off bye and thanks for the help | 00:12 |
| meowbuntu | ZykoticK9, then thats y ubuntu is behind windozzy and mac | 00:12 |

| hellz_bellz1 | im looking for some help on something i dont wholly under stand | 00:13 |
| Flannel | meowbuntu: WineHQ keeps a PPA and/or Repository online with updated Wines (looks like that's already been mentioned) | 00:13 |
| hellz_bellz1 | im trying to run a php terminal from my browser | 00:13 |
| meowbuntu | well all i want is how to get the latest wine in ubuntu 9.10 | 00:13 |
| hellz_bellz1 | but it gives me an error when i try to sudo | 00:13 |
| ssmy | hellz_bellz1: from my understanding, those are hilariously insecure... | 00:13 |
| B3rz3rk3- | how can i disable power management for wireless cards? | 00:13 |
| hellz_bellz1 | meowbuntu download from wine hq | 00:14 |
| hellz_bellz1 | well its not a factor here | 00:14 |
| hellz_bellz1 | its only on the loopback interface | 00:14 |
| meowbuntu | hellz_bellz1, there is no download there only a ppa to add so i'm doing that ok | 00:14 |
| ssmy | hellz_bellz1: ah, ok. can't really help you with the prob though sorry. | 00:14 |
| Cody1 | Could anyone help me with a HDD problem? I'm booting Xubuntu off a flash drive, and I can't find my main PC hdd anywhere. It shows up in GParted. | 00:15 |

| meowbuntu | hellz_bellz1, if you have errors pastebin them ay be able to help | 00:15 |
| Cody1 | I'm not sure where to look other than Places. | 00:15 |
| hellz_bellz1 | Error: sudo: no tty present and no askpass programspecified | 00:15 |
| hellz_bellz1 | is the only error | 00:15 |
| FluxD | BHoward, why doest ubuntu provide compiled versions of the sta driver? | 00:16 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Flannel, I want to be able to get..oh, say, a debian repo that is not in the repos that come with ubuntu, as well as the signing key so I can add the repo and have it show up in the package manager. Then I can use apt_get on it and not have to fight dependencies. | 00:16 |
| meowbuntu | Cody1, join #xubuntu | 00:16 |
| Flannel | Lostinspace_46: that's just apt-key, and that's in the "apt" package | 00:16 |
| BHoward | FluxD, another one of those things I dont know about. I just try and workaround the things that the ubuntu people leave out | 00:17 |

| gjohn | Hi what does a package version mean like "2.22.3-0ubuntu2-ppa2~jaunty" | 00:18 |
| munk | Hi all. Theres something about linux that is driving me nutz and I cant figure out why it does this. When I go to install a library (x264 encoder) it puts it in /usr/local/lib and not /usr/lib. Whats the deal with this local directory and why doesnt it search it aswell? | 00:18 |
| hellz_bellz1 | fluxd goto the library to use thier internet | 00:18 |
| Lostinspace_46 | Flannel, Hmm, I am pretty sure I got an error saying I needed it. Let me check..brb. | 00:18 |
| FluxD | hellz_bellz1, My wireless and ethernet is not recognized by ubuntu | 00:18 |
| ardchoille | gjohn: version 2.22.3 of that app is in a PPA for jaunty to use | 00:18 |

| FluxD | coppelman, install ubuntu tweak | 00:20 |
| gjohn | ardchoille: I don't know, I thought I got the updates from jaunty-updates | 00:20 |
| coppelman | how | 00:20 |
| ardchoille | gjohn: It's from a PPA, not from the official ubuntu repos, that's why "ppa" is in the filename. you may have the ppa in your sources | 00:20 |
| Stoy^ | coppelman: coppelman what do you want to do? | 00:20 |
| gjohn | ardchoille: but the "ppa" made me unsure | 00:20 |
| coppelman | put the home folder on desktop | 00:21 |
| gjohn | ardchoille: in that case, how can I replace it with the repo version? | 00:21 |
| BHoward | FluxD, im looking right now. I have seen something about installing packages without internet. | 00:21 |

| Stoy^ | coppelman: do you want to see the contents of your home folder on your desktop | 00:21 |
| gjohn | ardchoille: ok, I'll look at that | 00:21 |
| BHoward | fluxD, http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13 | 00:22 |
| Stoy^ | coppelman: or just an icon to go to your homefolder? | 00:22 |
| coppelman | in a way yes | 00:22 |
| ardchoille | gjohn: Many ppa apps don't have the same, if any, version in the repos, this is why people use the ppa's. you can search your sources with: apt-cache search name_here | 00:22 |
| coppelman | i con will work | 00:22 |
| BHoward | FluxD, those are directions for installing without internet | 00:22 |

| ZykoticK9 | cant, what do you get if you type "echo $PS1" in a terminal? it should look like "\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$" but i'm guessing yours wont | 00:38 |
| gjohn | ardchoille: Ok, I'll follow the instructions in this thread, it describes my problem exactly. I just wondered about the weird package name in Synaptic... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1395237 | 00:38 |

| skavez | Hi -- wondering if anyone has experience fixing a broken WUBI install. When the GRUB menu is supposed to appear, I get the GRUB prompt (sh:grub). I've tried a few different tutorials, but I can't find /boot/vmlinuz* or root.disk. Is there another place these files are located? | 00:39 |
| autoclesis | i.e. gateway sx2840 | 00:39 |

| titan_ark | ZykoticK9, okay thank you | 00:41 |
| autoclesis | the sx2840 might be overkill, then ? | 00:41 |
| zcat[1] | not released, not stable, but it boots hell-fast!! | 00:41 |
| BHoward | autoclesis, I just bought a acer 5740-5780 and its great. I had to start the live cd in safe graphics mode and update to a higher xorg and kernel to make the graphics work correctly | 00:41 |

| ZykoticK9 | cant, do you have a .bashrc file in you home dir? | 00:41 |
| ardchoille | zcat[1]: yeah, can't wait to try it :) | 00:41 |
| cant | ZykoticK9 yea but isnt the terminal suppose to show your location??? | 00:41 |
| zcat[1] | <3 lucid.. will be real nice when it comes out I think | 00:41 |
| ardchoille | gjohn: you're welcome :) | 00:41 |
| cant | Yes I do | 00:41 |
| autoclesis | i'll look it up bhoward | 00:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, it's controlled by .bashrc | 00:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, look inside .bashrc (or better yet pastebin it) and see if there is a line PS1=blah | 00:42 |

| ubottu | Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. | 00:43 |
| ardchoille | wrong factoid, sorry | 00:43 |
| titan_ark | use the tab key | 00:43 |
| BHoward | autoclesis, it all works. at least i am assuming cause i never tried 7, just formated and went ubuntu | 00:43 |

| ZykoticK9 | !paste > cant | 00:44 |
| ubottu | cant, please see my private message | 00:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, the .bashrc is in your home directory so ~/.bashrc | 00:44 |
| sysdoc | xorg.conf on a fresh Karmic install reflects that the driver is "nvidia" and not "nv" what driver is this exactly?? | 00:45 |
| gjohn | titan_ark: thanks for the tab tip | 00:45 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: how did you install the driveR? | 00:45 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, I didn't, like I said it is fresh install | 00:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, perhaps this is easier - in a terminal "cd ~ && cp .bashrc .bashrc.backup" then get my bashrc from http://paste.ubuntu.com/375825/ and paste it into a file called, yup, .bashrc and put it into your home directory - then see if the prompt is fixed | 00:46 |
| jason12345 | anyone ever install ubuntu studio from a USB ? | 00:46 |

| Predaking | hello I have an acer revo 3601 with the latest version of ubuntu. It has an nVidia ION gpu. When I hook it up to my TV via HDMI I lose about 100 pixels on the top and bottom. I can't see the top and bottom bars. It's set to the proper resm 1920x1080 and none of the other resolutions fix this problem. The TV is 1080p. Could this be a known issue? If not what things can I do to troubleshoot it? It's really annoying | 00:48 |
| cant | aahhh no | 00:48 |
| cant | where should I be looking | 00:49 |
| FluxD | thanks iflema | 00:49 |
| tron` | simple question, how do i find out what i called this machine (lol) | 00:49 |
| autoclesis | oh great i got to worry about the hdmi ? that's what i was happy about | 00:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, sorry for the PM but didn't want to flood the channel | 00:49 |
| sysdoc | Mad_Hacker, I know but the xorg reflects "nvidia" and not "nv" on a bone stock install... | 00:49 |
| iflema | FluxD wooo.... is it going? there may be futher action required | 00:49 |
| cant | ok, I see the pm Let me read it.. | 00:49 |
| zcat[1] | Ohhh, another question; firefox keeps going frozen grey and dim for 30s at a time, every install, even doing it in lucid. any hints how to troubleshoot this? | 00:49 |
| nfrs | hi. I'm having trouble with installing grub on a working ubuntu system. it worked before I installed winxp, now I'm booting off the live cd and trying to configure dual-boot. no matter what I do, I see "error 22" on boot | 00:50 |
| nfrs | (#grub refuses to support grub1) | 00:50 |
| FluxD | iflema, yea wireless is online :) | 00:50 |

| seanbrystone | ardchoille, ok ty | 00:52 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], perhaps you should just say whatever you wanted to say? | 00:52 |

| autoclesis | ah, gracias ardchoille | 00:53 |
| cant | ZykoticK9 Totally cool pastebin stuff here it is... http://pastebin.com/d32f85281 | 00:53 |
| zcat[1] | nfrs: should just be a matter on installing the 'grub' package and running update-grub ? | 00:53 |
| autoclesis | !liferea | 00:53 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], I have the package, now the purpose of update-grub is unclear to me. I run grub-install, which seems to work fine | 00:53 |
| ardchoille | ~info liferea | 00:53 |

| nfrs | zcat[1], or should be | 00:54 |
| zcat[1] | lol, yeah | 00:54 |
| sysdoc | Mad_Hacker, That is weird cause no distro that I have ever heard of ever installs the proprietary driver.. | 00:54 |

| jen_ | jen | 00:56 |
| zcat[1] | nfrs: there's a way to install grub from the grub command line too, probably !grub links to it ;) | 00:56 |
| pr0t0n | the install went fine | 00:56 |
| jason12345 | iflema how could i do that ? | 00:56 |
| GSF1200S | anyone in here using dual screens with seperate x servers? | 00:56 |
| zcat[1] | nfrs: so what was the question anyway? | 00:57 |
| pr0t0n | however upon updating and rebooting I get | 00:57 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc itself | 00:57 |
| pr0t0n | nit: udevtrigger mainprocess (1283) terminated with status 1 | 00:57 |
| pr0t0n | init: udevtrigger post-stop porcess (1283) terminated with status 1 | 00:57 |
| ubuntudude | what good alternatives are there to magicjack for Linux? | 00:57 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, Well I got a bone stock POS install of Karmic that will not boot into X. Weird thing is that I have 9.10 already installed on another drive that I upgraded to 9.10 that runs just fine | 00:57 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], the question is why does it produce "error 22" on boot... | 00:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | GSF1200S, i have before, what's your question? | 00:57 |
| cant | ZykoticK9 it already is the last line of code in the file??? | 00:57 |
| iflema | jason12345 there is a rather major kernel difference.... look into linux-rt and then in a terminal type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt | 00:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, i'm just taking it from my .bashrc file - doesn't make much sense i agree | 00:57 |
| pr0t0n | I tried using the workaround provided here | 00:57 |
| pr0t0n | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/433943 | 00:57 |
| zcat[1] | nfrs: probably confusion between where BIOS sees devices and where grub sees them | 00:58 |
| Mad_Hacker | sysdoc: apperantly nv doesn't have 3d acceleration support, so.... | 00:58 |
| jason12345 | thanks mate | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: if it were me, I'd just do a fresh install, seems something broke.. never heard of Ubuntu installing the nvidia driver during fresh install | 00:58 |
| GSF1200S | ZykoticK9: well, its a pretty small question. All im trying to do is get firefox on screen 1 to recognize thunderbird on screen 2, namely for the send link feature. | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: agreed | 00:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | cant, i'd just try copying my .bashrc and replacing it with yours and see if it works | 00:58 |
| zcat[1] | nfrs: check the boot order if you have more than one drive, you may be booting from an old broken mbr on the wrong drive? | 00:58 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, Ummm this IS a fresh install...ACK!! | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: well .bash_profile is for login shells and .bashrc is for non-login shells, iirc | 00:59 |
| pr0t0n | however I get E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 00:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | GSF1200S, don't think it's going to be possible - communication between screens if virtual nill - and you can't have 2 firefoxs running at the same time, as you have probably already found out | 00:59 |
| GSF1200S | ZykoticK9, I tried creating a script with display:0.1 thunderbird and pointing firefox to that.. | 00:59 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: I know, but I would do it over.. I just sense something went wrong somewhere and you never know what else may be borked once you get x working. But that's just me | 01:00 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], I've already looked at that... booting from /dev/sdc, root fs is /dev/sda2, /boot is /dev/sda1 | 01:00 |
| neezer | can anyone tell me about a dns server? | 01:00 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], installing grub onto /dev/sdc | 01:00 |
| GSF1200S | ZykoticK9, yeah, however for some reason pidgin communicates with firefox, and they are on different screens. Otherwise, it is nearly impossible it seems | 01:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, all we're trying to do is set $PS1 value - any suggestions? | 01:00 |
| ubuntudude | what good alternatives are there to magicjack for Linux? | 01:00 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, I have installed from the LiveCD and Alt CD numerous times.... Reinstall will NOT help[ anything | 01:00 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntudude: get a linksys ATA adapter and sign up with a SIP provider? | 01:01 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: I do that on each install, here's mine: | 01:01 |
| ardchoille | PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[\W @ \t]\$ ' | 01:01 |

| songer | audio problems | 01:01 |
| ubuntudude | zcat[1], i don't know what you mean by that | 01:01 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: Ah, ok I understand. Not sure how to help from here but you might try the ubuntu forums | 01:01 |
| zcat[1] | magickjack is an internet phone thing right? | 01:02 |
| v8bull | yep | 01:02 |
| GSF1200S | ZykoticK9, yeah, but twinview is a no go for me as im running two seperate vid cards. Yeah, its a nuisance at times | 01:02 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: the part you need to change is between the brackets: [\W @ \t] | 01:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, ya it's for cant he doesn't have ANY prompt at all right now | 01:02 |
| Predaking | anyone ever heard of a problem like that? | 01:02 |
| nfrs | zcat[1], I'll try something else. bb | 01:02 |
| Predaking | display getting cut off at top and bottom on proper resolution? | 01:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | GSF1200S, ahhh yes that would make twinview difficult ;) good luck man | 01:02 |
| GSF1200S | thanks | 01:02 |

| zcat[1] | ubuntudude: well it sucks because you have to have your computer on 24/7 to use it and it's OS dependent.. you can get an ATA adapter (A little box) that plugs into your broadband directly, and you plug a phone into it, and you can get phone service from any of hundreds of sip providers with a multitude of different calling plans and you do not need your computer to be on to use it. | 01:05 |

| chrisboom | installed ebox 1.4 which is on top of ubuntu 8.4 | 01:05 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: how can it be "working great" and "jacked" at the same time? | 01:05 |
| chrisboom | can't see the ethernet ports | 01:05 |
| chrisboom | the driver is in that link | 01:05 |
| ardchoille | sysdoc: nvm, got it | 01:05 |
| chrisboom | how do i use it? | 01:05 |
| ubuntudude | zcat[1], whats wrong with the computer being on? | 01:05 |
| privateabstract | Waste of electricity? | 01:06 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, I said once already the 9.10 is already installed on the machine runs great... Got to 9.10 through distro-upgrades | 01:06 |
| infid | where do system fonts get installed? | 01:06 |
| ubuntudude | i have a laptop, low power consumption | 01:06 |
| chrisboom | anyone? | 01:06 |
| privateabstract | still it's unecessarily wasted energy | 01:06 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntudude: it's inconvenient and also ties you to one particular OS, much better to have a device that works independently of it. | 01:06 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, Which chipset and driver are you running? Juast for grins | 01:07 |
| sysdoc | just* | 01:07 |
| ubuntudude | zcat[1], is what you use expensive? | 01:07 |
| HammerHead66 | ok I have flash player 10 64-bit installed and it works but I have no sound any ideas on what to do? | 01:07 |
| zcat[1] | If you really want you can get a sip adapter and just pretend you still have to have your computer on all the time... | 01:07 |
| cbelote | chrisboom: Im no expert but Ill try and help | 01:07 |
| chrisboom | cool thanks! | 01:07 |
| ubuntudude | HammerHead66, are your speakers on? | 01:07 |
| Devrethman | HammerHead66: Flash is pretty sensitive to other things locking the soundcard. Make sure no other apps are running that use sound. | 01:07 |
| zcat[1] | the one I use was free... but they're pretty cheap. | 01:08 |
| ubuntudude | zcat[1], what is it? | 01:08 |
| cbelote | chrisboom: If you run ifconfig do you see it there? | 01:08 |
| Devrethman | If you figure out how to make it not do so, let me know, cause getting flash and MPD to coexist is something I've been trying at forever. | 01:08 |
| HammerHead66 | everything is turned off still no sound | 01:08 |

| HammerHead66 | but I can play music box with sound no problem | 01:09 |
| autoclesis | excellent | 01:09 |
| DrZeus | i need help. I'm trying to build a regular expression to take all the SQL queries in a group of PHP files. I don't know how to write one. Any recommendations? | 01:09 |
| zcat[1] | Linksys something.. SPA2100 | 01:09 |
| v8bull | try the mysql channel? | 01:09 |
| DrZeus | but im using a shell script | 01:10 |
| DrZeus | to open each file, and run the reg ex to output them to a file | 01:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | DrZeus, you might want to ask in #bash | 01:10 |
| chrisboom | hmm | 01:10 |

| skavez | does anyone know where WUBI would put "root.disk"? it's not in the C:\ubuntu\disks directory | 01:11 |
| infid | once i put a .ttf font in /usr/share/fonts/truetype do i have to re-login for xterm*font to recognize it? | 01:12 |

| cbelote | sweet :) | 01:12 |
| gotsanity | does anyone know why banshee will continualy skip to the next song when i push my bluetooth headphone next button? | 01:12 |
| chrisboom | did ifconfig | 01:12 |
| chrisboom | told me Local loopback | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | inet addr 127.0.0.1 | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | mask 255.0.0.0 | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | these dont look like good numbers lol | 01:13 |
| cbelote | No eth1 or 0 | 01:13 |
| cbelote | ? | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | lo | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | or 1o | 01:13 |
| chrisboom | no eth0 or eth1 tho | 01:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, verify the fonts you added are owned by root and then in /usr/local/share/fonts/tryptype (did you copy them here?) run "fc-cache" and see if that helps | 01:14 |
| chrisboom | its just totally not seeing the eth i think | 01:14 |
| BluesKaj | chrisboom, try sudo dhclient eth0 | 01:14 |
| chrisboom | thats the downside of using a lts, motherboards that come out a year later not always helpful | 01:14 |
| chrisboom | will do BluesKaj: | 01:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, see you put the link in your post try fc-cache in /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 01:15 |
| cbelote | check compatibility here: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html | 01:15 |
| chrisboom | no such device | 01:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, see if the kernel is seeing any network devices with "lspci | grep -i ethernet" | 01:16 |
| BluesKaj | ok chrisboom . eth0=dhcp | 01:16 |
| chrisboom | ok one sec | 01:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | BluesKaj, i don't think if ifconfig doesn't have any adapters listed that dhcp is going to work | 01:17 |
| B3rz3rk3r | how can i disable power management for wireless cards? | 01:17 |
| chrisboom | so do the ethernet controller atheros communications ar5212/ar5213 | 01:17 |
| chrisboom | ignore first bit of that | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | i did lspci thing | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | go that | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | that might be my wifi | 01:18 |
| BluesKaj | ZykoticK9, yeah I was afraid of that when he didn't show eth0 after doing ifconfig | 01:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, is it only a wifi that you have? | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | not sure | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | no its both | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | i have wifi and ethernet | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | ethernet is plugged in | 01:18 |
| chrisboom | and then theres an engenius pci card | 01:19 |
| krysis | does anyone in here know how to get AGN 4965 wireless card to work?? | 01:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, the lspci is only showing your wireless. are you sure it didn't show anything else? | 01:19 |
| Guest54047 | hi all | 01:19 |
| chrisboom | what did eth0=dhcp mean | 01:19 |
| cbelote | Is this the right channel to ask about a problem Im having with ubuntu/apache instalation issues? Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok. | 01:19 |
| kavurt | what's "BackSpace compatible" screen saver? | 01:19 |
| chrisboom | should i try to change a setting | 01:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, see if ""lspci | grep -i network" shows anything different | 01:19 |
| Guest54047 | I need help with setting up ntp on client mythbuntu | 01:19 |
| krysis | anyone have trouble with the Intel 4965 AGN wireless card? | 01:20 |
| Guest54047 | its installed but time is wrong | 01:20 |
| Guest54047 | server time is correct | 01:20 |
| Guest54047 | I have config ntp.conf | 01:20 |
| Guest54047 | can anyone help | 01:20 |
| infid | ZykoticK9: hmm tried it but xterm still says it cant load the font | 01:20 |
| chrisboom | or since, it seems that my nothing happens | 01:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, does xterm actually use TTF fonts? | 01:21 |
| chrisboom | worst typing in the world there | 01:21 |
| chrisboom | nothing happened at all | 01:21 |
| chrisboom | that atheros sounds like my wifi card? | 01:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, to the second lspci i gave? | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | might that be configurable | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | yeh | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | the network one | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | just nothing happened | 01:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, in that case the linux kernel is NOT seeing your ethernet card, and only the wireless | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | pressed enter, then just showed me the command line again | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | cool | 01:22 |
| chrisboom | but that means we could connect the wifi? | 01:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, i'm glad you think it's cool, lol | 01:23 |
| chrisboom | and i can worry about the ethernet another day | 01:23 |
| chrisboom | well its better than it seeing nothing | 01:23 |
| chrisboom | always look on the bright side and all that | 01:23 |
| gotsanity | does anyone know why banshee will continualy skip to the next song when i push my bluetooth headphone next button? | 01:23 |
| Devrethman | gotsanity: Is that not what it's supposed to do? | 01:24 |
| B3rz3rk3r | how can i disable power management for wireless cards? | 01:24 |
| BluesKaj | chrisboom, have you tried ifconfig again ? check to make sure eth0 is not listed | 01:24 |
| cbelote | Im having issues with my ubuntu/apache instalation. Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok. | 01:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, do you see any drivers available in System / Admin / Hardware drivers ? | 01:24 |
| gotsanity | Devrethman, it repeatedly will skip to the next song instead of one press one song | 01:24 |
| chrisboom | i havent got a gui for that | 01:25 |
| chrisboom | ive got terminal and ebox web interface | 01:25 |
| gotsanity | Devrethman, i have to stop the skipping manually | 01:25 |
| Devrethman | gotsanity: Oh. Sorry, I've never seen that before... | 01:25 |
| ubuntudude | any alternatives to magicjack? great deal ones comparatively price wise, not per minute cost | 01:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | chrisboom, ahhh, sorry man i got nothing more for you then. Hopefully someone else knows how to install that wireless card without the GUI, as i certainly dont. Good luck man. | 01:26 |

| ubuntudude | Dr_Willis, its important to have a number i can be reached at also, i don't see anything about that on the site | 01:29 |
| chrisboom | ok, i think im gonna give ubuntu 9.10 another go | 01:30 |

| ZykoticK9 | rww, i'm guessing if you have the CPU Frequency Monitor applet, you could set it to Conservative and it "might" accomplish what you want. I'm just guessing here. | 01:39 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: When I change the speed or governor in that applet, it resets when I reboot. I'd like a way that's persistent. | 01:40 |
| nfrs | anyone? I tried everything I could think of. out of ideas now | 01:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, there is a cli method of setting it, i suppose you could find the settings and create a script for bootup? | 01:41 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: Yeah, I could throw it in /etc/rc.local if I knew what the CLI method were. | 01:42 |

| robertpolson | im not exactly an expert on this | 01:45 |
| robertpolson | but if you post on the ubuntu forum with your specs and stuff | 01:45 |
| robertpolson | you might get some ppl who had the same issues | 01:46 |
| robertpolson | but do a search first to see if you find anything | 01:46 |
| robertpolson | just on google or whatev | 01:46 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: Yeah, I'd prefer something that's not in a GNOME-dependent package, though. Modifying the contents of "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq" looks promising. | 01:46 |

| echosystm | whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server? | 01:49 |
| bastid_raZor | seanbrystone: that was my 2 year old.. sorry room | 01:49 |
| echosystm | other than the fact that ubuntu server has no gui by default | 01:49 |
| robertpolson | echosystm, ubuntu server is for servers :p | 01:49 |
| robertpolson | ubuntu is for a home computer | 01:49 |
| hejo | rww, and i cant switch it off? or is an open source driver in development? | 01:49 |
| echosystm | that was so enlightening, thanks | 01:49 |
| robertpolson | if you don't know what the difference is chances are you won't need ubuntu server | 01:49 |
| echosystm | are the kernels the same? | 01:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | hejo, that is one of the main reasons i will never use ATI (and am upset that AMD bought ATI) </ot_rant> | 01:49 |

| rww | boss_mc: sorry, I fail at tabcomplete | 01:50 |
| rww | echosystm: apart from that and the lack of the ubuntu-desktop GUI, there's no difference. They both use ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal, and have the same repositories. | 01:51 |
| echosystm | i know for a fact ubuntu server requires PAE | 01:51 |
| echosystm | so that must be some change to the kernel? | 01:51 |
| echosystm | im wondering what the other differences are | 01:51 |
| echosystm | otherwise ubuntu server is no different from alternate cli | 01:52 |

| Dr_Willis | robertpolson: what do you mean neotehr help? You must be a speed reader to come to that conclusion so fast | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | robertpolson: if you reinstall windows - it will overwrte the linux loader. you then need to reinstrall grub loader, | 01:54 |
| robertpolson | okay, but will that overwrite the rest of my hdd? | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | robertpolson: the bootloader is not the 'rest of the hd' | 01:54 |

| === j-3-r-g_ is now known as j3rg | ||
| j3rg | anyone familiar with Triple monitor in Ubuntu with nVidia video card | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | j3rg: in theory if the card supports it - the nvidia settings tool should set it up with a few clicks | 01:59 |
| Out_Cold | so does encoding with ffmpeg, avi to mpeg4 take a considerable amount of time on a standard processor? It's been about 3 hours and I've only encoded 200mb | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not seen a 'single' nvidia card with 3 Monitoir outs, Seen them with 4 Video outs, | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: depends on the options you are using a great deal | 02:01 |
| Out_Cold | my nvidia supported 3 outs.... | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: and other settings. | 02:01 |
| Out_Cold | but the overscan was cruddy | 02:01 |
| neezer | is there a networking channel? | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: perhaps #networking | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | but Networking is a BRoAD topic | 02:01 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, i'd start here and see where your question leads | 02:01 |
| j3rg | thanx Dr_Willis | 02:02 |
| krysis | does anyone know how to set up the intel AGN 4965 wireless card? it works for a few minutes then disconnects and doesn't connect anymore =( | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | My 8800gtsxxx has 3 outputs, 2 dvi and 1 tv out. but it can only do 2 out of the 3 at a time. | 02:02 |
| j3rg | i have to admit i didn't much research before coming to the IRC | 02:02 |
| j3rg | i'll google machine next time | 02:02 |
| j3rg | thanx tho mein | 02:02 |
| neezer | I'm looking to set up dns, but I can't seem to find answers online...I think it will allow me to just log into my server and download any files remotely that I have on it. | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: dns is what looks up www.whatever.com to the ip it actually is | 02:03 |
| neezer | I also am wondering if it will allow me to upload files to my server. i think it just woks via a web browser. | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: not sure what you are trying to do exactly. but i bet its not got a lot to do with 'dns' | 02:04 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, so the more options, such as size reduction, cuts in on time? is there a fast efficient way to transform avi to mpeg4? | 02:04 |
| neezer | ok. thanks Dr_Willis | 02:04 |
| alex87 | could somebody help me get an ident response? i'm running the oident daemon | 02:04 |
| nfrs | I can't seem to reinstall grub for a working karmic install when booting from livecd. tried everything I could think of. update-grub generates a fresh menu.lst file with everything UUID-based, so the partitions should be specified correctly. but upon reboot I get "error 17". any help would be appreciated | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: the 'dynamic dns' service - lets your clients update a web site with their current ip. so yo can always find them from the internet - but thats a specific service/tool running | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | alex87: why do you even need ident? You may need to forward some ports on your router | 02:05 |
| Dracofodder | where can I find out exactly what has been modded in Firefox for the Ubuntu 9.10 release?? I am getting some odd behavior in FF 3.5.7, but doing the same thing in Seamonkey 2.0.2 and it works fine. I've tried the FF troubleshooting of disabling plugins, safemode, resetting preferences and such. No success. Now I am thinking there has to be something else customized just for ubuntu that is breaking FF. any ideas? | 02:05 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, yes it sounds like you want a free name such as www.somehost.dyndns.org instead of your IP | 02:05 |
| alex87 | Dr_Willis, i'm having trouble with DCC, is that related to ident? | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | alex87: I do not think ident is in any way related to DCC stuff | 02:05 |
| neezer | Dr_Willis, I guess I don't even know what that means.... | 02:06 |
| Out_Cold | alex87, most likely related to firewall issues | 02:06 |
| alex87 | Dr_Willis, ah ok, thanks | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | alex87: ident is an OLD way to 'verify' people on various servers/clients - its not used much these days | 02:06 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, what is your ultimate goal? | 02:06 |
| neezer | Out_Cold: I would like to just do, www.neezer.com, or .org or something. | 02:06 |
| alex87 | Out_Cold, does ubuntu run a firewall that would block dcc by default? | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: check out 'dyndns' or other tools. | 02:06 |
| alex87 | Dr_Willis, good, i don't like forwarding ports | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !dyndns | 02:06 |
| Out_Cold | alex87, i think it does block on default... but cannot confirm.. (doesn't work for me) | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: a dynamic dns client/service lets you do that IF the machines are set up right | 02:07 |
| neezer | I'd like to be able to share files with friends pictures and things just through a webpage. | 02:07 |
| alex87 | Out_Cold, thanks, i'll look into it | 02:07 |
| blakkheim | neezer: ftp? | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: then you setup a webserver and let them acccess it. | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: its much easier to just use a site like dropbox, or ubuntuone, or similer | 02:07 |
| BHoward | neezer, if thats your goal why not use dropbox? | 02:07 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, dyndns is your answer.... dns name servers help support this but should be automagically set by your ISP | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | much safer also :) | 02:08 |
| neezer | What is much safer? | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: you are not running services on your pc you dont need.. = safer | 02:08 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, neezer, dropbox is multi platform though where one is not. | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntuone can be accessed via the web,. i hear a windows client is in the works | 02:09 |
| neezer | I see.... | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Try them out.. see what they got. | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | I use drop.io a lot | 02:09 |
| neezer | Can my buddy just type in www.neezer.org and get to a website with my stuff on it then? | 02:09 |
| Out_Cold | yes... you can access your one account via windows web browser but you need your launchpad credentials | 02:09 |
| neezer | maybe with a username and password or someting.? | 02:09 |
| === CmdrTallen_ is now known as CmdrTallen | ||
| BHoward | you can setup a domain that will forward to your dropbox or ubuntuone address | 02:10 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, ideally yes, you would need a ftp client or apache2 and also dyndns account | 02:10 |
| Out_Cold | s/client/server/ | 02:10 |
| neezer | hmmm...clearly I need to do more reading on the subject. | 02:11 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, if i can suggest... install something like proftpd and set up a new account at dyndns.org. Do you have a router? | 02:11 |
| neezer | would dyndns allow me to host my own webpage from my server? | 02:12 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, yes | 02:12 |
| bastid_raZor | neezer: yes | 02:12 |
| neezer | I am behind a WRT54G router....linksys | 02:12 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, perfect... i can suggest options in your router to support dyndns | 02:12 |
| bastid_raZor | neezer: dyndns is a domain provider. it will rought neezer.com (or whatever you name it) to point at your external IP | 02:12 |
| neezer | How do I get my name? | 02:13 |
| jakerue1 | hey quick question about openwrt - anyone here willing to help, or point me to an irc channel not full of bots? I already went to freenode and there are 120 users and no one is talking | 02:13 |
| bastid_raZor | s/rought/route | 02:13 |
| bastid_raZor | neezer: go there and sign up | 02:13 |
| neezer | go where? | 02:13 |
| bastid_raZor | neezer: dyndns.com | 02:13 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, it will be something like www.neezer.dyndns.org or some other extension | 02:13 |
| Out_Cold | mine is ****.doesntexist.org | 02:14 |
| neezer | then theoretically anyone could just open up a browser and type www.myname.dyndns.org and they would get to my page? | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | my router even has a Dyndns featuer built in | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: yes. Go read up at the Dyndns web site. :) | 02:15 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, a quick breakdown of your steps would be to register and obtain a domain from dyndns, set port forwarding and dyndns settings in your router, install a ftp or web server on your server, open your firewall for that service. | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: thers other services that do a similer thing, DynDNS is just a common/big one | 02:15 |
| bastid_raZor | neezer: dyndns has a dameon available to allow you to use it still if you have a dynmic ip.. i used to use it before getting a static ip. | 02:15 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, the wrt543g has same thing | 02:16 |
| Out_Cold | -3 | 02:16 |
| neezer | Thanks guys. I appreciate the help | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I never use the feature - Just too much hassle. The various drop box type sites are handier, ;) | 02:16 |
| neezer | would i have to set up UFW or something like that. | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: your router has to set up port forwarding yes. | 02:17 |
| neezer | I have a port forwarded for my ssh already. | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, iptables or firestarter would get you going | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: and forward other ports. | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, then the ftp or web would be easy | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: This DOES open up your pc to potential attacks. thats why i dont use it. | 02:17 |
| neezer | I can access it remotely. I think I am still pretty safe...I don't have any ports besides my ssh port. | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | i agree... i have been broken into twice | 02:17 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, do you use rsa keys? | 02:18 |
| neezer | well then maybe I don't want to do that. | 02:18 |
| neezer | yes I do | 02:18 |
| bastid_raZor | fail2ban is a good app to look into. serves me well with ssh and apache | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I noticed once i was getting Bulk login attempts on ssh when i left it open for a week | 02:18 |
| gantrixx | Is anyone here using the Chrome browser? | 02:18 |
| Out_Cold | the ftp users should have a /dev/null as thier shell... much safer | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | and definatly dont forward ports for vnc and so forth :) | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | gantrixx: lots of are using it. google chrome, and chromium | 02:19 |
| gantrixx | It seems that most of the videos won't play on it and it just sits there and spins with "html5" on the screen | 02:19 |
| sysdoc | ardchoille, U there? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | neezer: this is why we are saying using dropbox or other services is safer way to get files to other people | 02:19 |
| gantrixx | why? | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | gantrixx: they work here last i tried them | 02:19 |
| Ether | hey guys im trying to use ushare to share media to my 360... my ps3 sees the share, 360 doesnt | 02:19 |
| neezer | sounds good to me....Thanks Dr_Willis | 02:19 |
| neezer | sounds much easier too. I set up a drop box with a windows machine a few years ago. | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | gantrixx: has it ever worked? got a URL to a video? | 02:20 |
| Out_Cold | neezer, i agree with Dr_Willis 100%. It is 'safer' but less practical.. the /dev/null shells and good passwords that are changed regularly, makes a good ftp server | 02:20 |
| gantrixx | Dr_Willis, No, it has never worked for me....at least not the ones that say "html5" Here is a URL that doesn't work for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn1XTUyzBB0 | 02:21 |
| jsec | Hi does anyone have any idea why my GDM login window would suddenly change color? | 02:21 |
| bastid_raZor | gantrixx: in chrome it works for me. | 02:21 |
| Out_Cold | jsec, upgraded recently? | 02:21 |
| gantrixx | Is there something else that I need to load? | 02:21 |
| jsec | Out_Cold, yeah but I didn't see if gdm was included or not. Is that the standard now? | 02:22 |
| gantrixx | a H.264 plugin? | 02:22 |
| Out_Cold | jsec, the 9.10 release has changed the way gdm looks and feels... | 02:22 |
| === demonspork_ is now known as demonspork | ||
| Dr_Willis | gantrixx: i was thinking html5 currently does not support H264 | 02:22 |
| sha0 | I managed to install PPTP stuff and did ' modprobe ppp_mppe ' and ' /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart ' (as root) and killed nm-applet and restarted it but... | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | at this time at least | 02:23 |
| jsec | Out_Cold, no I know that. What I'm saying is that the black login window for my GDM is suddenly an off-white, and I'm trying to figure out how to get it back to black | 02:23 |

| igie | openssh help: Hi, can anyone tell me how to Chroot multiple users into multiple directories? | 02:24 |
| Out_Cold | jsec, that was what i was going to tell you... might be a bug?? check launchpad and maybe file a bug? | 02:24 |
| sha0 | igie: As part of their login script? | 02:25 |
| gantrixx | http://paste.ubuntu.com/375865/ I get this error when trying to install things sometimes. How do I fix it? | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | igie: chrooting users to lock them down is a rather complex task. Not just a trivial one command and its done thing | 02:25 |
| jsec | Out_Cold, I'll keep probing into it, but it just seems odd that it would randomly happen. Thx for the help. | 02:25 |
| chu_ | When I start Chromium it gives me some error dialog saying "Your profile could not be opened correctly" | 02:25 |
| gantrixx | What public key are they talking about | 02:25 |
| chu_ | Now, I'm kinda paranoid I have done some HDD damage somehow, or is it possible Chromium just crashed and hasn't released a "lock" (or something?) on my profile.... | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: or you somehow ran it as root and goofed up the permissions on the file | 02:26 |
| compstudent | what are the weird error codes called that look like "0xc004b011" assembly or hex error codes? Is there a good place to find which each one means, which one is the coolest? | 02:26 |
| chu_ | I wouldn't have run Chromium as root. | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: you could remove the settings dirs perhaps. | 02:26 |
| sha0 | No PPTP VPN users for Ubuntu 8.10? | 02:26 |
| igie | Sho0: I used the sshd_config file to confine users for a group to a specific directory... However, I got locked into that directory when I log in over sftp as well... I want to remove myself. | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: or move them to some other dir/name and restart the browser | 02:26 |
| chussete | is there any London contractor IT programmer? (private) | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | chussete: the odds of getting a response to that in here are low. | 02:27 |

| chu_ | Dr_Willis - Can you guide me on how-to either remove the settings directory or just move/rename them? | 02:28 |
| Out_Cold | chussete, call your local IT from yellow pages... if they have yellow pages in UK | 02:28 |
| igie | sha0: thats the first thing I tried, still locks me down though | 02:28 |
| sha0 | igie: Has sshd restarted? | 02:28 |
| compstudent | What kind of code is this "0xc004b011"? hex from RAM? | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | chu_: they are in some dir in your home. I dont use 'chromium' so i dont know what they are called | 02:28 |

| HammerHead66 | .so files in the plugin | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: I noticed Opera does default to flash even if im subsrived to the html5 beta | 02:35 |

| chu_ | researcher11: Not entirely sure why you would want to, but perhaps through WINE? | 02:39 |
| HammerHead66 | no,no | 02:39 |
| Papertowels | I'm not taking the case off it's a load of work going through hundreds of cables lol | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: so i guess the moral is - if using Html5 use Google Chrome | 02:39 |
| Papertowels | and lshw -C memory tells me "Manufacturer1" | 02:40 |
| infid | Papertowels: that command will tell you teh vendor and everything | 02:40 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: the .so files for the adobe plugin | 02:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, that would be what I would expect from each browser (not sure about Opera actually) | 02:40 |
| researcher11 | chu I have wine installed but not Windows XP | 02:40 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, delete just the libflashplayer.so? | 02:40 |
| Out_Cold | Papertowels, i may be mistaken but i'm pretty certain it's the only way | 02:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, yes that is the moral here ;) | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: ive not tred the Chromium browser. | 02:40 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: yes | 02:40 |
| researcher11 | one official site on whcih I need to do important work need IE7 browser only | 02:40 |
| Papertowels | I wish they'd port CPU-Z over to Linux :( | 02:40 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: make sure you get them all | 02:40 |
| Devrethman | Papertowels: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 02:40 |
| Out_Cold | researcher11, look into firefox agent | 02:40 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, and the flashplugin-alternative.so? | 02:40 |
| Papertowels | Devrethman, that isn't what O | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: another moral is Patented codecs/H.26X is a pain :) | 02:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, same as Chrome (the new version anyway), but Open source versus Chrome (proprietary) - the outcome is the same | 02:41 |
| Papertowels | I'm looking for | 02:41 |
| HammerHead66 | yes | 02:41 |
| Out_Cold | researcher11, you can change what the website thinks you are using as web browser | 02:41 |
| researcher11 | This is the link http://www.aicte-india.org/prmportal_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=www.aicte-india.org | 02:41 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: yes | 02:41 |
| Devrethman | papertowels: What are you looking for, I just started paying attention. | 02:41 |
| researcher11 | out-cold: HOW? | 02:41 |
| jaypur | does any1 have any netbook??? like aspire one??? i'd like to know if it can run inkscape easiely | 02:41 |
| grkblood13 | does sopcast not owrk with 9.10? | 02:41 |
| Papertowels | how to get my memory model without opening the case | 02:41 |
| grkblood13 | i keepo getting retrying channel on everything | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: Mine runs most apps fine. | 02:41 |
| viktor_ | asdf | 02:41 |
| * scunizi setting and maintaining a static IP through reboots.. painful but done. | 02:41 | |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: the display is a little tiny for some tasks | 02:41 |
| infid | does google make chromium | 02:42 |
| Out_Cold | jaypur, i have an eeepc and other than a small kb works the same | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: i do GIMP work on it all the time | 02:42 |
| scunizi | infid: yes | 02:42 |
| Out_Cold | jaypur, but i don't use inkscape | 02:42 |
| kn100 | what brand of laptop network cards works the best with ubuntu | 02:42 |
| infid | scunizi: i'm cu rrently running chrome, is there any advantage to chromium? | 02:42 |
| jaypur | Dr_Willis, yeah... i'd liek to know that cuz i really would like to get it to my college and stay at the classes upgrading some projects... | 02:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, actually Chromium is the opensource project they base Chrome off of. | 02:42 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, OK libflashplayer.so and libflash-alternative.so has been deleted from firefox, firefox-3.6.2pre, firefox-addons, and flashplugin-installer | 02:42 |
| infid | kn100: intel works fine for me | 02:42 |
| Devrethman | Papertowels: Hrrm... cat /proc/meminfo maybe? | 02:42 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: mozilla? | 02:42 |
| scunizi | infid: chromium / chrome.. I thought they were the same.. you got a link to it? | 02:42 |
| researcher11 | Out_Cold HOW do I change what the website thinks you are using as web browser???? | 02:42 |
| jaypur | Dr_Willis, update my website... | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Open sourced version - Vs Googles Custome Version | 02:43 |
| infid | chrome isnt very customizable | 02:43 |
| Papertowels | only shows a bunch of numbers, nothing about model or brand :( | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | researcher11: 'useragent' settings/plugins/extensions normally | 02:43 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: don't forget mozilla-firfox | 02:43 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, OK, yes, and mozzila | 02:43 |
| scunizi | infid: looks like Dr_Willis had the answer.. check above | 02:43 |
| researcher11 | what is firefox agent? | 02:43 |
| infid | ? | 02:43 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, there is not mozilla-firefox directory in /usr/lib | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | the browsers useragent setting sends info the the servre telling the server what browser it is. - the browsers can Lie. :) | 02:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, no really advantage to chromium right now -- does your chrome have bookmark syncing? if not it's not the newest Chrome (there are a couple of bugs with Chromium that made there way into Google Chrome) | 02:44 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ok now go back to file system | 02:44 |
| Out_Cold | researcher11, firefox agent plugin | 02:44 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, I'm there | 02:44 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: then usr | 02:44 |
| === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, I'm there | 02:44 |
| jaypur | Dr_Willis, i think the only problem about netbooks is multiple task rite? | 02:45 |
| jaypur | *tasks | 02:45 |
| Out_Cold | researcher11, it adjusts your browser headers to appear like IE7 or Opera or Netscape | 02:45 |
| michal_ | i have a problem w/ my comp booting from extr drive instead of internal drive | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: mine multitasks just find | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: the onlyu problem i have is the tiny screen and some apps | 02:45 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ok now do the same thing in "lib32" and "lib64" ok let me know when your done | 02:45 |
| jaypur | Dr_Willis, what kind of apps | 02:45 |
| researcher11 | Out_Cold:Im quite new so will u please guide me step by step? PLEASE | 02:45 |
| FluxD | Is there a bug with grub2 where even though the option to hide grub menu is enabled it doesnt hide it ? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: for most people - the netbooks got plenty of cpu powar | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: ones that display TALL dialogs and windows byu default | 02:46 |
| Out_Cold | researcher11, browse around in the firefox plugins. look for an agent.. i have used once so i know of it, not familiar with it | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jaypur: bad gui design by many of the app makers :) | 02:46 |
| collabra | michal_ : check your computer's bios,... change your boot order | 02:46 |
| researcher11 | ok | 02:46 |
| jaypur | hmm | 02:46 |
| michal_ | collabra: its set w/ internal first | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | even the ubuntu installers (used to?) have a few dialog boxs that were almost off the bottom of the screen | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive noticed the problem more with windows apps then linux ones | 02:47 |
| collabra | michal_ : are you sure,.... if you are then, are you sure you have an os on your internal drive? | 02:47 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, OK, done (there wasn't anything in there) | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | the alt-click anywhere to move - in Linux is a lifesaver :) | 02:47 |
| bluephase | does anyone know about ifuse? | 02:47 |
| FluxD | How do you hide grub menu in grub2? Is there a bug with grub2 where even though the option to hide grub menu is enabled it doesnt hide it ? Because its not working for me | 02:47 |
| michal_ | collabra: the external usb drive is on the very buttom...lol. yes i have a os :) | 02:47 |
| wterrey | Is Ubuntu good for games? | 02:47 |
| jaypur | Dr_Willis, so you're saying that some apps does not fit right in the screen | 02:48 |
| torchie | whose games | 02:48 |
| lee_ | Question about my ubuntu randomly logging me off | 02:48 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ok now go to this site and download it's on the bottom link http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html | 02:48 |
| scunizi | wterrey: sure check out www.playdeb.net | 02:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | wterrey, same as any other linux distro | 02:48 |
| wterrey | Thanks | 02:48 |
| Out_Cold | wterrey, yes an no.. good for some windows games.. (see !wine) great for linux games | 02:48 |
| munk | Hi all. Theres something about linux that is driving me nutz and I cant figure out why it does this. When I go to install a library (x264 encoder) it puts it in /usr/local/lib and not /usr/lib. Whats the deal with this local directory and why doesnt it search it aswell? | 02:48 |
| michal_ | collabra: its only on bootup. i have to unplug it before it goes to grub and then its all fine | 02:48 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: just save the file to you desktop | 02:48 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, done | 02:49 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, I saved it to /tmp | 02:49 |
| candy | wterrey, ya its good for games but still high quality games lack | 02:49 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ya that's ok | 02:49 |
| torchie | how well does wine run? | 02:49 |
| collabra | michal_ : lol,... i'm not sure then,... i'd double check my bios,... there is no reason your computer should only boot to the external. try getting rid of your external boot option in your bios all together. | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | munk: stuff thtas not from the package manager should be inb /usr/local Not the normal /usr/lib where it COULD conflict with stuff from the package manager | 02:49 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, untar it? | 02:49 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: now extract to the same place | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | munk: its a feature :) | 02:49 |
| wterrey | I was thinking more like first person shooters and strategy | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | munk: and it does search it here for me | 02:49 |
| candy | torchie, depends on ur ram | 02:49 |
| PeterT | I just installed wubi ubuntu and now my start-up screen is not centered correctly. Can anyone help me fix this? | 02:49 |
| michal_ | collabra: how do i go about doing that? it doesnt seem to have that option | 02:50 |
| PeterT | Also note, I uninstalled wubi ubuntu | 02:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | munk, how are you trying to install h264 codec? what program you you trying to use it with? | 02:50 |
| Out_Cold | wterrey, lots that are linux native.... a handful of windows games also work under wine with proper settings | 02:50 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: u see the .so file? | 02:50 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, is that windows 7? | 02:50 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: No, Windows XP | 02:50 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, yes | 02:50 |
| munk | ZykoticK9, I am trying to compile x264 then compile ffmpeg on top of it | 02:51 |
| HammerHead66 | ok right click it and the click copy | 02:51 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, you could try the repair option from the cd | 02:51 |
| munk | ZykoticK9, to finally compile transcode | 02:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | munk, why are you compiling everything? these programs are available in the repo | 02:51 |
| PeterT | Hmm? | 02:51 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: I don't have the CD | 02:51 |
| collabra | michal_: on every computer,... while it's booting up,... it gives you options,... on some is the DEL key on other F10 on other F12,.... press whatever button gets you into your bios and change your boot order | 02:51 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, I was doing it from the command line | 02:51 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: I have the ISO on a usb | 02:51 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, let me get back into nautilus | 02:51 |
| wterrey | Any good titles Out-Cold? | 02:51 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Also, my boot options are screwe up | 02:51 |
| munk | ZykoticK9, transcode doesnt support x264 in the repos | 02:52 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ok | 02:52 |
| === chris__ is now known as airlias | ||
| collabra | michal_ : careful while your in there though,.... | 02:52 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, are they still ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| michal_ | collabr: i understad that i mean is how do i completly remove that option? | 02:52 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Yes | 02:52 |
| === wers is now known as wers|afk | ||
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, OK, where do you want me to copy it? | 02:52 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, sound like you need to restore the mbr | 02:52 |
| PeterT | mbr? | 02:52 |
| jeffmr | give me a minute | 02:52 |
| michal_ | collabra: my other comp works fine its only on this compaq | 02:53 |
| HammerHead66 | to all the places I had you del it from before | 02:53 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, master boot record or use msconfig to delete the unneeded entries | 02:53 |
| munk | ZykoticK9, and the repo of the x264 library is compiled as 32bit without fPIC | 02:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | munk, i'm using Handbrake to do my H.264 or Arista Transcode does it as well i believe. But transcode is a powerful encoder so if that's the one you want i guess compiling is the only way to go - but it's not going to be easy, as you've already discovered. best of luck man. | 02:53 |
| collabra | michal_: ah,.. that depends on the bios,... most allow you to change or delete boot up options | 02:53 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: to all the places I had you del it from before. make sure it's in all of those places | 02:53 |
| PeterT | restore? Doesn't sound good, jeffmr | 02:53 |
| chalcedony | bluephase, hi | 02:53 |
| grkblood13 | anyone here running sopcast? | 02:53 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, its pretty harmless | 02:54 |
| jeffmr | just a second | 02:54 |
| grkblood13 | my sopcast keeps saying "retrying channel" | 02:54 |
| abstrakt | i've got a funky issue with eclipse where my mouse doesn't actually cause buttons to "click" when I click them. the graphics indicate they've been clicked, but I can't actually trigger the appropriate event handlers unless i tab to them with my keyboard and hit enter... any ideas | 02:54 |
| grkblood13 | but it plays on my windows box | 02:54 |
| munk | ZykoticK9, yea I need transcode to do huge batches of video clips in a bash script | 02:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | munk, i figured it would be something along those lines - best of luck man. | 02:54 |
| michal_ | collabra: like i said i can change the order but not remove the device...also can i see the bios after i bootup(inside hperterminnal) | 02:54 |
| Viktor_L | after the newest samba update i am getting this error msg over and over. | 02:54 |
| bluephase | chalcedony: hi, the problem im having is that when i connect the iphone it just mounts it as a digital camera rather than a drive. ive checked google and it suggested using sudo ifuse /media/phone but thats not doing anything either? | 02:54 |
| === chris__ is now known as airlias | ||
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, many of these must be links because I see libflashplayer.so in there again | 02:55 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/repairmbr.htm | 02:55 |
| MTecknology | 20:49 < Dr_Willis> munk: stuff thtas not from the package manager should be inb /usr/local Not the normal /usr/lib where it COULD conflict with stuff from the package manager | 02:55 |
| collabra | michal_: and changing the boot order doesn't solve your problem? | 02:55 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: there are but it's important to make sure they all have it | 02:55 |
| MTecknology | Dr_Willis: awesome text :) | 02:55 |
| michal_ | collabra: nah | 02:55 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Thank you so much! I will try that and will be back with some results, thanks :-) | 02:55 |
| chalcedony | bluephase, i do hope other people here will have had some experience mounting an iphone on ubuntu | 02:55 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, also you can try start menu - run - msconfig and then under boot delete the unwanted boot option entry for ubuntu | 02:55 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, OK lib and lib64 have it. There are no firefox/mozilla directories in lib32 | 02:56 |
| bluephase | chalcedony: me too! | 02:56 |
| collabra | michal_ : that's strange,... i'd take a second look,... sorry i couldn't help you | 02:56 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, sure | 02:56 |
| michal_ | collabra: no prob thax | 02:56 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, I'm assume I just restart my browser now | 02:56 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: ok try it, it should work | 02:56 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: yea | 02:56 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: You mean something like "C:\*.mbr: Ubuntu"? | 02:56 |
| grkblood13 | noone here is running sopcast? | 02:56 |
| jonzbcc | hi, I'm trying to compile the abook utility from the latest source -- but when running ./configure I get an error message "configure: error: no curses library found" -- but I have a version of abook installed from synaptic, and I use midnight commander so I'm sure I hvae the ncurses library installed. any suggestions? | 02:56 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, thanks | 02:57 |
| gantrixx | it works | 02:57 |
| bluephase | does anyone know about ifuse? | 02:57 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: so it works? | 02:57 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, yes, it works | 02:57 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: good deal I just spent all day fixing that same problem | 02:57 |
| gantrixx | HammerHead66, thanks for your help | 02:58 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, no there is just a windows that says windows xp and ubuntu and then an option to delete an entry if you want | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ifuse | 02:58 |
| ubottu | ifuse (source: ifuse): FUSE module for iPhone and iPod Touch devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-1 (karmic), package size 9 kB, installed size 80 kB | 02:58 |
| HammerHead66 | gantrixx: no prob | 02:58 |
| jonzbcc | anybody have experience compiling from source? what do you usually edit to make things work? | 02:58 |
| itamarjp | anyone can recommend a easy way to upgrade mysql on ubuntu ? | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jonzbcc: i usually install the needed -dev packages and do the ./configure, make, sudo make install, and it works | 02:58 |
| jeffmr | jonzbcc, the config file | 02:58 |
| itamarjp | I want the 5.1.43 version | 02:58 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Under boot.ini? | 02:59 |
| jonzbcc | jeffmr: the ./configure file that I ran? vi into it? | 02:59 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, its in msconfig under the boot tab | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | jonzbcc: there may be some config file you actually edit/change stuff in. depending on what you are changeing | 02:59 |
| Viktor_L | net usershare' returned error 255 error is the one im getting from samba after i updated my server foolishly | 02:59 |
| jeffmr | jonzbcc, usually you don't have to change anything but if you do its the .configure file | 02:59 |
| Viktor_L | everything worked pre updating, now i can not access from windows, or log onto from unix to my samba server | 03:00 |
| al_ | I thought I had a great idea, I have been removing viruses out of windows machines with my Ubunutu box. I decided to try to run regedit under Wine to open the windows registrys offline - but I couldnt get regedit to work | 03:00 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, I can't remember specifically. I don't have windows installed right now | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | al_: ive seen linux live cd's with rescue/reg edit features like that | 03:00 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, but its the boot or boot.ini tab | 03:00 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: I see "BOOT.INI", then I see "[operating systems]", then I see some code and "Windows XP", then I see "C:\wubildr.mbr", but I don't see a remove/delete button anywhere | 03:01 |
| al_ | Dr_Willis: hmmm, really? which dsitor? | 03:01 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, thats it. I think if you select one of them there is some button there that lets you remove one. I don't know if its called advanced or what. Also try right clicking on one or pressing the delete key | 03:01 |
| jonzbcc | Dr_Willis: the ./INSTALL file doesn't mention any other files except the steps: ./configure; make ; make install -- and I don't see any obvious files in the directory. do you know anything ncurses? Maybe I could see where my ncurses library is and see if the script is wrong | 03:02 |
| robertpolson | How would i use dd to copy my mbr to a file on a thumbdrive? | 03:02 |
| alohadoubt | hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 in my vps and now i already installed everything mysqserv5.0 php5 apache2 and libraries need now i tried to manually configure the phpmyadmin v3.2.5 when i tries to access my phpmyadmin in my browser i always get a download file with "application/x-httpd-php" also i tried reading some other guide but no luck even with setupscript i dunno know what to do else. | 03:02 |
| robertpolson | In the hopes of restoring the mbr later | 03:02 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: There isn't actually, I'm going to try this guide: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 | 03:02 |
| here4thegear | Hi all, this isn't exactly ubuntu specific but there isn't a room for pear so, I have an ubuntu server and doing "sudo pear install" and am getting errors on all attempts to install packages that I know exist within my pear.php.net channel list. Am I doing something wrong? is there something I can do to fix this? thanks | 03:02 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, yeah that does the same thing | 03:03 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Ok | 03:03 |
| robertpolson | Hi, how would i backup my mbr using dd? | 03:04 |
| abstrakt | where should I put exports for environment variables so that they always take effect when I log in? | 03:04 |
| abstrakt | e.g. export FOO=1 | 03:04 |
| carbm1 | robertpolson: is there something special about your MBR than just GRUB? | 03:04 |
| here4thegear | abstrakt: .bashrc | 03:04 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Ok, just deleted the boot entry, now trying a restart | 03:04 |
| abstrakt | i mean i know i can put it in .bash_profile and it'll be like that when i run a terminal... but is it the same for GNOME? | 03:04 |
| abstrakt | here4thegear, k would it be better to put it in .bash_profile ? | 03:05 |
| researcher11 | I have installed User Agent Switcher 0.7.2 to enable access to this link http://www.aicte-india.org/prmportal_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=www.aicte-india.org which opens with IE6 or IE7 only. But still I cant login for very urgent office work.Can somebody HELP. Thanks Out_Cold anyway | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | isent it .profile ? | 03:05 |
| * abstrakt admits he still doesn't quite understand the difference between rc and _profile | 03:05 | |
| robertpolson | carbm1, i have a corrupted win 7 install on another partiton that won't boot, trying to re install windows without erasing my other data | 03:05 |
| jeffmr | robertpoison, http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm | 03:05 |
| robertpolson | deleting* | 03:05 |
| abstrakt | i know i know "one is for login and the other for 'non-login' shells" | 03:05 |
| abstrakt | i just need the thing to take effect when i log in to ubuntu as my regular user, like GUI style... the first screen that I see after booting | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | abstrakt: thats it exactly. one gets ran ONCE normally. other ters ran at each login/new terminal | 03:06 |
| jonzbcc | abstrakt: differnt files get run at different steps of login/boot etc. I've read about it a bunch of times and don't remember the details | 03:06 |
| here4thegear | abstrakt: .bashrc is where I generally put it all out of habit, I am unsure of what everyone else would say is best practice though. | 03:06 |
| alohadoubt | hi i just need lil help here on how am I able to install phpmyadmin in ubuntu 9.04 | 03:06 |
| jeffmr | robertpolson, did you try the repair option from the windows 7 cd? | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | abstrakt: as a test toss in a 'echo this is .profile' at the front of ,profile and similer in the other files and watch when they say they are getting ran | 03:06 |
| robertpolson | yes, to no avail | 03:06 |
| carbm1 | robertpolson: I dont' know if its possible to install Windows 7 without it overwritting you MBR... but you could use the Ubuntu Alt CD and rescue a broken install and just select fix Grub and all should be back to normal. | 03:06 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: you there still? | 03:06 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, yes | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | abstrakt: 'xterm -ls ' will run one (or both) whild just xterm will run one | 03:07 |
| jonzbcc | abstrakt: do you use gnome? | 03:07 |
| jonzbcc | abstrakt: (sorry I'm totally tail ending the convo here, to help) | 03:07 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: Ok, so I've restarted, but boot entry for Ubuntu is gone, but now the boot menu (F12) is missaligned | 03:07 |
| abstrakt | yeah i use gnome | 03:07 |
| itamarjp | hello, someone can help to upgrade my mysql to 5.1.43 in ubuntu ? | 03:07 |
| Tommy89 | Hi, can someone tell me, do you need samba running on a web server? | 03:07 |
| abstrakt | KDE = the sux :P (shhh don't tell the KDE ppl) | 03:07 |
| robertpolson | carbm1, all i care about is that my other 2 partitions stay intact, if the mbr gets erased that's fine as long as i can restore it | 03:07 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, no, i don't | 03:08 |
| jeffmr | PeterT, post your boot.ini to pastbin.ca | 03:08 |
| abstrakt | what do i win? | 03:08 |
| abstrakt | aight well whatever... which one is which, profile is execed everytime and rc is the "only once" variety? | 03:08 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: One sec | 03:08 |
| jonzbcc | abstrakt: if you have commands you want to be run when you login to your gnome enviornment -- you can put them in a script, then list the script in the "startups" -- its in "system" > "preferences" > "startup applications" | 03:08 |
| carbm1 | robertpolson: Even if you run a Windows 7 repair.... NOT A SYSTEM RECOVERY! Your other partitions should remain intact. Backing up your MBR won't save your partitions. You would need to do a FULL system backup to ensure that. | 03:08 |
| here4thegear | Tommy89: you need Samba server running, it doesn't have to be on a server it just has to be a discoverable machine within your network | 03:09 |
| abstrakt | jonzbcc, aight sounds reasonable, thx for the suggestion | 03:09 |
| robertpolson | hm, okay | 03:09 |
| jonzbcc | Tommy89: samba is purely for Microsoft networking compatibility. | 03:09 |
| abstrakt | jonzbcc, i already answered his question :P | 03:09 |
| PeterT | jeffmr: pastebin.ca just timedout for me, can I paste it somewhere else? | 03:09 |
| abstrakt | i don't need samba | 03:09 |
| Tommy89 | I stopped it on my server, because i didn't think i need it? | 03:09 |
| jeffmr | pm me | 03:09 |
| abstrakt | can't speak for him | 03:09 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, google is ur frend | 03:10 |
| here4thegear | Tommy89: is this a server at a work location? | 03:10 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, http://gog.is/samba | 03:10 |
| Tommy89 | this server is just for a website, so i wouldn't need samba to run? | 03:10 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, dude if you don't know what samba is, you don't need it | 03:10 |
| jonzbcc | abstrakt: :) thanks. didn't see | 03:11 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 03:11 |
| here4thegear | abstrakt: don't tell him that!!! | 03:11 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, and plz ejukate urseff b4 asking dumb questions, there's a wealth of information on what samba is | 03:11 |
| abstrakt | here4thegear, too late | 03:11 |
| jonzbcc | Tommy89: I agree with abstrakt, but just curious -- what does the server serve? | 03:12 |
| abstrakt | Tommy89, go read about what it is and decide for yourself whether you want it or not | 03:12 |

| Dr_Willis | FluxD: you are running update-grub after changeing the configs? | 03:12 |
| FluxD | yes Dr_Willis | 03:12 |
| here4thegear | Tommy89: if you have other developers on that site, they may be using samba. it's a way of 'mounting' folders to windows (for network mapping) | 03:12 |
| carbm1 | FluxD: did you run update-grub after making your changes? | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | FluxD: just checking, :) | 03:12 |

| robertpolson_ima | you know what.. i think i'll just back my music up via ipod and thumbdrive and just delete everything. | 03:21 |
| robertpolson_ima | at this point it seems like the easier way to do things | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | i gave up on macs - why did i evern try them... | 03:22 |

| Dr_Willis | jacky: there are OS-X type docks - and some that are actually useable as well | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | jacky: try the docky dock bar | 03:24 |
| crackpot | how do I go about removing PHP command line? i have tried "sudo apt-get remove php/php4/php5/apache2" and all of them say not installed, yet php command works | 03:24 |

| carbm1 | XRU-BSP: will it connect to an unencrypted wireless? or just not any WPA/WPA2? | 03:24 |
| jacky | where can i locate the docky dock bar? | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jacky: find the docky ppa's enable/install docky | 03:24 |
| skavez | Any ideas as to how to recover "root.disk" from WUBI? I think I've determined that a power failure corrupted the NTFS disk, but I ran chkdsk /r and /f but haven't been able to find the file. I'm running Windows 7 -- does it throw recovered files somewhere other than C:\found? Or is all my data gone? | 03:24 |
| here4thegear | crackpot: it's php-cli that you need to remove | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jacky: of all the docks ive actually tried.. docky sucked the least. | 03:25 |
| === wers|afk is now known as wers | ||
| crackpot | is it okay to remove it? i use LAMPP so I was planning on adding the LAMPP dir to $PATH and using CLI that way | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | skavez: you could boot a live cd and mount the root.disk file and see if you can access data on it | 03:25 |
| crackpot | LAMPP runs the latest version of PHP and I have more control over what's going on. | 03:25 |
| jacky | Dr Willis, do i install it in software center? sorry, i just started using ubuntu yesterday so might not be understand what you're trying to tell me. | 03:25 |
| al_ | hmmm, what can I do about a old PC that doesnt detect my LInux CD? It detects a windows one ok? | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | jacky | 03:26 |
| ubottu | jacky: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 03:26 |
| skavez | Dr_Willis: I can't locate the root.disk file -- it's not in C:\ubuntu\disks | 03:26 |
| al_ | got booting.... | 03:26 |
| al_ | for booting | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | skavez: no idea on that. | 03:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jacky: i would suggest learning ubuntu basics then and not worry about docks and stuff - the gnome-do tool has a docky theme/feature but Docky is now its own seperate dock/program with more features | 03:26 |
| myk_robinson | jacky: take a look at this: http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Install | 03:26 |
| carbm1 | skavez: The c:\found directory would have renamed the file. Did you find an randomly named file that was LARGE? That might be your missing file. | 03:26 |
| crackpot | that did it, thanks here4thgear! | 03:27 |
| jacky | dr willis, ok so what are the things i would need to know about ubuntu for a beginner? | 03:27 |
| skavez | carbm1: that directory doesn't exist either -- i was hoping Windows 7 might dump it somewhere else | 03:27 |
| here4thegear | crackpot: no problem.. also, there might be php5-cli (but it's been a while I can't remember) | 03:27 |
| keepsake | Dr_Willis: Arguably the Gnome-Do portion of Docky1 is useful enough to not upgrade to Docky2. | 03:28 |
| keepsake | Dr_Willis: At least that's why I've kept Docky1 | 03:29 |
| keepsake | Dr_Willis: And by that I mean the integration, since you can run both separately as well | 03:29 |
| carbm1 | skavez: That is exactly why I don't run Ubuntu that way anymore. I got tired of that constantly happening. I now resize the partitions and install Ubuntu at the end of the drive. I wish I could be of more help. Maybe you can find a Undelete program for NTFS? | 03:29 |
| ZiG|ZaG | question. in your opinions would it be a good idea to start playing with LAMP as a novice linux user before having a deeper understanding of the O/S? My thinking is it would contribute to the overall learning anyway right? | 03:30 |
| Flannel | ZiG|ZaG: Sure, getting your hands dirty is a great way to learn | 03:30 |
| here4thegear | does anyone have some advice about installing pear packages (php pear)... I keep getting errors while trying to install using sudo pear install <packagename> | 03:30 |
| ssmy | ZiG|ZaG: no, use it as a desktop os to get the gist of it then go into lamp. | 03:30 |
| Rook-A01 | Hello. I want to compile a static binary for easy distribution of a game but I cannot find a proper howto... Can anyone help me? | 03:30 |
| skavez | carbm1: think i'll just go ahead and run it on a separate partition. i sensed this would happen, but i couldn't get any of the usb-creator/unetbootin installs working for a livecd (installing onto a blasted netbook). | 03:31 |
| ZiG|ZaG | okok Flannel and ssmy, both valid opinions | 03:31 |
| ssmy | here4thegear: pear has never been anything but trouble for me. are you sure the package isn't just packaged in the repos? much easier. | 03:31 |
| skavez | carbm1: it's not too much data -- most was on a server, so i can re-create it, but it sucks anyhow. are partitioned installs more stable? | 03:31 |
| alohadoubt | someone here have setup phpmyadmin in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 03:31 |
| ZiG|ZaG | think i'll go with getting my hands dirty | 03:31 |
| keepsake | skavez: Doubtlessly. | 03:31 |
| carbm1 | skavez: One reason I used to prefer the Wubi was the simple boot menu. Yes own partitions are much more stable... but you have to have the Grub boot loader. | 03:32 |
| here4thegear | ssmy: how can I check that.. pear is one thing that is fairly new to me | 03:32 |
| keepsake | carbm1: Grub is pretty easy to use and it doesn't interfere with using Windows though. | 03:32 |
| Rook-A01 | Anyone knows? If not because I run static binaries often I'd even say they don't exist judging by the online documentation of the process! xD | 03:32 |
| skavez | carbm1, keepsake: thanks -- will try a new install now that i finally got a bootable pendrive working (pendrivelinux.com) | 03:33 |
| carbm1 | keepsake: When your trying to explain to to a complete newbie though its a pain. Yes, select the first Ubuntu kernel and then if you want your Windows its the second from the last. If you select the last one you'll boot into your recovery partition so don't do that. Just doesn't go over very well. | 03:33 |
| keepsake | Rook-A01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware | 03:33 |
| carbm1 | keepsake: Keeping in mind I install Ubuntu on every computer that I work on as a separate partition. I've wrote this little grub script to make the grub menu easier... http://www.carbm1.com/?p=352 | 03:34 |
| here4thegear | ssmy: even this gives me nothing but errors "pear download-all" error after error... nothing downloading | 03:34 |
| dharma | ALGUIEN SABE DE UN PROGRAMA SIMILAR AL C# | 03:34 |

| grkblood13 | i have a single VOB file that contains a bunch of chapters and i want to trim the video, the problem is when i open it in avidemux it only allows me to see the first chapter | 03:34 |
| grkblood13 | how do i see the others | 03:34 |
| dharma | OK GRACIAS | 03:35 |
| keepsake | Rook-A01: Actually it will create a .deb | 03:35 |
| here4thegear | "cannot initialize package, invalid or missing package file" I get that for each package | 03:35 |
| morrison | hi i am looking for someone who mite know a little about X server | 03:35 |
| scunizi | morrison: what's the real question.. there's lots of knowledgable people here. | 03:36 |
| jacky | guys, before i installed ubuntu. i have xp installed with 3 partitions on my laptop and did a backup via acronis. so now that i installed ubuntu on my whole hdd instead of a partition, can i simply do a restore of windows xp via acronis again? | 03:36 |
| Rook-A01 | keepsake: But a .deb will only work for debian-based systems and will require installing smaller libraries which is a hassle. Also I am considering using a non-standard Lua library... Sure I can do a wrapper but it's not as elegant. | 03:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | grkblood13, if you open you VOB with a video player does it see the other chapter? Typically you wouldn't have 1 VOB file but many - i'm worried this file might not contain what you think it does. | 03:36 |
| Rook-A01 | A game should be "click and run" | 03:37 |
| grkblood13 | ZykoticK9, yes you do | 03:37 |
| grkblood13 | its a video from my sony handycam | 03:37 |
| Flynsarmy | How can i add gtksourcecompletion to gtksourceview (on 9.10) like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2009/12/05/news-on-geditgtksourceview/ | 03:37 |
| grkblood13 | if i open it selecting DVD with xine i see all chapters | 03:37 |
| carbm1 | jacky: You should be able to. You might have to fix your MBR for Windows though. Hopefully your acronis image included the MBR. | 03:37 |
| morrison | I am trying to hook my tv up via s-video and ubuntu sees the tv and monitor as one screen i want it to be two screens | 03:37 |
| keepsake | Rook-A01: Ah, I can't help you there then | 03:38 |
| scunizi | grkblood13: as a different question .. did you create the vob file using a firewire connection between the computer and the camera? | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: what video card? | 03:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | grkblood13, i have no suggestions for you (but glad the video is all there) | 03:38 |
| jacky | whats a mbr? if acronis didn't include it in, what should i do? | 03:38 |
| grkblood13 | ZykoticK9, and if i open the single file with vlc all of the chapters play | 03:38 |
| morrison | Nvidia | 03:38 |
| morrison | hold on i have the actual model | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: use the bnvida settings tool and enable seperate X displays | 03:38 |
| Rook-A01 | keepsake: Aw...thank you anyway. I wonder why this is such an undocumented process :( | 03:38 |
| grkblood13 | scunizi, no | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i tend to use one WIDE desktop and drag my media player to the tv and maxamize it | 03:38 |
| grkblood13 | i formatted it with the player | 03:38 |
| grkblood13 | hnadycam that is | 03:39 |
| morrison | GeForce 7300 LE | 03:39 |
| scunizi | grkblood13: darn.. I've been trying to get my system to recognize my camera and ieee1394 card | 03:39 |
| Rook-A01 | Well I guess I will try asking at a different time, someone has to know! xD | 03:39 |
| grkblood13 | my camera wont recognize my computer | 03:39 |
| grkblood13 | or vice versa | 03:39 |
| carbm1 | jacky: You'll need a Windows XP cd, boot disk.... or a Windows 98 floppy to fix your MBR. On the XP cd you can boot to the Recovery Console and type "fixmbr"... on the Win98 you can type "fdisk /mbr" | 03:39 |
| grkblood13 | i have to format it before hand | 03:39 |
| grkblood13 | with usb atleast | 03:39 |
| morrison | yeah i tried the seperate x screens through the nvidia setting and it gives me an error | 03:39 |
| carbm1 | jacky: but honestly if you imaged your entire hard drive.... it probably includes the MBR. | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, have you tried kino (with gksu) only way i've been able to dump video from 1394 | 03:40 |
| grkblood13 | so the question is, how do i edit a single VOB file with multiple chapters | 03:40 |
| kthomas_vh_ | what's the default download directory for epiphany? | 03:40 |
| carbm1 | jacky: Theres also a way to do this from inside of Ubuntu so you could technically do it from a live Ubuntu CD. | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i had to save the xorg.conf the settings tool made - to a seperate file first. then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I recall. or use a backup xorg.conf - the tool gets confused if thers no xorg.conf file at all | 03:40 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: running it a root? nope..haven't tried that.. I'll give it a shot though. do you have to chown the files after? | 03:40 |
| here4thegear | jacky: MBR = Master Boot Record.. it's usually the partition on your hd that begins at (0,0) and holds the information regarding your partition tables | 03:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, i believe so but don't remember for sure | 03:41 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: ok.. thanks.. | 03:41 |
| hanasaki | what is a good text tool to test network bandwidth? | 03:41 |
| morrison | I have tried editing the x.conf file and everytime i go through some forums and try to do something ubuntu boots into low graphics mode | 03:41 |
| skavez | carbm1: that script looks great -- i'll be sure to try it. i've never had problems with ubuntu or debian as a server, but something always goes wrong on my desktop installs. i'm usually not "rm -rf /"ing things :) | 03:42 |
| morrison | luckily i keep backing the x.conf file | 03:42 |
| scunizi | morrison: xrandr controls video.. | 03:42 |
| maxflax | I have a problem with my tty:s is not loaded so I only get black screen trying to change.. im on Karmic | 03:42 |
| morrison | is that through the terminal as well | 03:42 |
| maxflax | worked before upgradring to Karmic | 03:42 |
| scunizi | morrison: yes | 03:42 |
| scunizi | !resolution | morrison | 03:43 |

| FluxD | eclipse_, its on livecd | 03:48 |
| maxflax | anyone? | 03:48 |
| grkblood13 | scunizi, i might have a solution | 03:48 |
| grkblood13 | it might work | 03:48 |
| rww | kthomas_vh_: depending on which version of Epiphany, either "Downloads" in your home folder or nowhere. There's a bug where if you don't set a download location in preferences, Downloads don't actually get downloaded. | 03:48 |
| kinja-sheep | eclipse_: You could try and install linux-backports-modules-karmic | 03:48 |
| grkblood13 | use ffmpeg to transcode vob to dv | 03:48 |
| grkblood13 | open with kino | 03:49 |
| damo22 | maxflax: check the rc.d bootup scripts | 03:49 |
| scunizi | grkblood13: viola! | 03:49 |
| grkblood13 | dunno yet | 03:49 |
| scunizi | grkblood13: I think handbreak is in the repos.. it's a pretty good tool | 03:50 |
| eclipse_ | i have drivers installed all seems fine i just dunno how to config the setup wrks kindad a wierd issue ive been checkin forum but no one else seems to have same issue on there that i found... | 03:50 |
| morrison | the problem is i have the tv hooked up through s-video and I am trying to play movies on the tv but when i take an application into full screen it expands across both screens | 03:50 |
| grkblood13 | alrady tried handbrake | 03:50 |
| grkblood13 | doesnt work | 03:50 |
| scunizi | morrison: you need to set the driver to mirror the screens.. I think that can be done with nvidia-settings. | 03:51 |
| scunizi | grkblood13: :( | 03:51 |
| === ml-something is now known as microlith | ||
| morrison | you mean clone the screens | 03:51 |
| scunizi | morrison: yes | 03:51 |
| grkblood13 | transcoding sucks | 03:51 |
| grkblood13 | so i dont like this option | 03:51 |
| grkblood13 | even if it works | 03:51 |
| maxflax | damo22 where do I find it? | 03:51 |
| damo22 | maxflax: cd /etc/rc.... | 03:51 |
| damo22 | or /etc/init.d/rc... | 03:52 |
| morrison | that kinda defeats the purpose of having a computer where i can watch movies on one and still do stuff on the computer | 03:52 |
| kthomas_vh_ | fww: thanks, it was set to "file system" and working... | 03:52 |
| morrison | that kinda defeats the purpose of having a computer with two screens where i can watch movies on one and still do stuff on the computer | 03:52 |
| scunizi | morrison: twinview may have other options that will do what you want.. like seperate X screens. | 03:52 |
| morrison | i will brb | 03:53 |
| hyperstream | Is there any software solutions to Keep multiple Computers sync in playing music(3 pc's through out the house each hooked up to speakers) | 03:53 |
| morrison | what was the command to restart x-server | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: theres several ways you can do it 2 screens | 03:54 |
| maxflax | damo22 - I have rc0.d rc1.d up to rc6.d -- but no rc.d | 03:54 |
| scunizi | morrison: sudo session gdm restart | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i use twniview and drag the video plaer to the 2nd monitor and just maxanize it | 03:54 |
| damo22 | maxflax: they are the ones | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | morrison, scunizi i think it's "sudo service gdm restart" isn't it? | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: is correct | 03:54 |
| maxflax | damo22 - why so many | 03:54 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: morrison yep.. sorry.. thinking lots of stuff right now | 03:55 |
| damo22 | maxflax: for different runlevels | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | !runlevels | 03:55 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 03:55 |
| maxflax | damo22 - which runlevel am i running at default now then? | 03:55 |
| damo22 | maxflax: karmic? | 03:55 |
| maxflax | damo22 - yes | 03:55 |
| Dr_Willis | runlevel 2 i think is the default | 03:56 |
| maxflax | damo22 - entering the command runlevel returns unknown | 03:56 |
| morrison | now i have nothing on the tv | 03:56 |
| damo22 | maxflax: install a program called sysvinit-rc or something like that | 03:56 |
| grkblood13 | what package includes mediainfo | 03:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | grkblood13, "apt-cache search mediainfo" shows dvd+rw-tools | 03:57 |
| morrison | okay i got alot of people giving help but is there one person that i can just pull into private chat to help me with this | 03:57 |
| grkblood13 | i have that | 03:57 |
| grkblood13 | its not on the system | 03:57 |
| damo22 | morrison: apt-cache search sysv rc | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i never use 2 X serssions so cant say more then i allready have. Use twinview and drag the video playue rto the 2nd monitor is how i do it. | 03:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | grkblood13, did you try "dvd+rw-mediainfo" | 03:57 |
| kiborr66 | hello кто русский | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i recall there being some forum threads on using seperate X displays with twinview also | 03:58 |
| morrison | yeah is there anyone here who uses xbmc | 03:58 |
| damo22 | !russian | kiborr66 | 03:58 |
| ubottu | kiborr66: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: yes ive used xbmc. | 03:58 |
| pabl0x | hi | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: some altenatves to xbmc = enna, moovidia, and a few others,. | 03:59 |
| maxflax | damo22 - there is a sysvinit-utils ? is that the one.. and what does it do | 03:59 |
| morrison | okay well you know when you hit the "\" key to take it too full screen it expands it across both the tv and monitor but it doesn't just do it with xbmc it does it with all apps | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: you need to enable TWINVIEW and it wont do that | 03:59 |
| damo22 | maxflax: that is it... it lets you set the bootup scripts manually without messing up the folders of symlinks contained in rc1.d .... 6.d | 04:00 |
| morrison | the nvidia-setting see the tv i enable it in twin view and it still does it | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: disable xinerama - just use twinview feture, one wide desktpp and apps WILL maxamize to just one display | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: Unless xbmc is silly about handlung full screening | 04:00 |
| morrison | but it doesn't just do it with xbmc | 04:01 |
| maxflax | damo22 - how do I run it? | 04:01 |
| morrison | i could understand it being the program if it was the only program that did it | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: so it does it with Some apps? or all apps? | 04:01 |
| damo22 | maxflax: possibly dont change anything, just run it and see what it looks like | 04:01 |
| morrison | all apps even the stupid calculator | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: i can drag a xterm or vlc window to the tv display hit maxamize. and it maxamizes to just the tv | 04:01 |
| itamarjp | hello, someone can help me to upgrade my mysql to 5.1.43 in ubuntu ? | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | its a twinview/xinerama setting | 04:01 |
| morrison | okay well how do i disable xinerama | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: you did restart X - not just logged out right? | 04:02 |
| magn3ts | Is it possible to use a three finger swipe in ubuntu (on a MBP?) | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | morrison: the nvidia settings tool has a check box i reccall | 04:02 |
| morrison | i did that last command that someone posted awhile back ago | 04:02 |
| damo22 | maxflax: sudo sysvinit<TAB> enter | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | restarting GDM should restart X totally | 04:02 |
| morrison | sudo service gdm restart | 04:03 |
| objorn | how do you create a .7z file? | 04:03 |
| morrison | this was the last command i typed | 04:03 |
| scunizi | objorn: a program called 7zi | 04:03 |
| scunizi | *7zip | 04:03 |
| damo22 | objorn: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: my xorg.conf for 2 monitors. i can fullscreen to just one display ---> http://pastebin.com/f3f831df4 | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: the Xinerama "0" entry i beive turns OFF xinerama | 04:04 |
| scunizi | Dr_Willis_: does he even have an xorg.conf? I think it's a fairly new install.. | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis_ | scunizi: if he ran nvidia-settings it made one.. or should have | 04:05 |
| objorn | scunizi and damo22, i have that installed, i'd like to know how to create a .7z file | 04:05 |
| here4thegear | ok, I have pear v 1.7.1 but the majority of the packages I want require v1.4.1 explicitly.. how would I uninstall pear and then install the older version of the installer? | 04:05 |
| damo22 | objorn: man 7zip | 04:05 |
| morrison | where do i enter that at? | 04:05 |
| scunizi | objorn: usually (on windows I know) it's a gui app.. so look in your menu for it. | 04:06 |
| objorn | damo22: yeah, that doesn't help | 04:06 |
| morrison | in the Xconf | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: in the xorg.conf those are the imporntant settings | 04:06 |
| objorn | think i need to man 7z | 04:06 |
| morrison | okay here let me show you my xorg.conf setting | 04:06 |
| damo22 | 7z --help | 04:06 |
| objorn | but still man 7z sucks | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: nvidia-settings made that the default for me. | 04:07 |

| morrison | Identifier"Default Screen" | 04:07 |

| damo22 | objorn: try 7z c * out.7z | 04:08 |
| morrison | can i talk? | 04:08 |
| morrison | okay i thought the flood bot muted me | 04:08 |
| damo22 | or something like that | 04:08 |
| kinja-sheep | morrison: It did. | 04:08 |
| objorn | damo22: that's not correct, guess i'll work with it for a few mins | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: compare the one i pastebin'd to the one you have. I never had to manyually edit mine. | 04:08 |
| kinja-sheep | Use unp if you're having problem remembering which commands to extract an array of archives. | 04:09 |
| kinja-sheep | !info unp | 04:09 |
| ubottu | unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis_ | unp - one of my top 10 'overlooked' commands i always mention inhere :) | 04:10 |
| damo22 | objorn: 7z a out.7z * | 04:10 |
| objorn | damo22: 7z a output.7z file.bar | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ive never really noticed a case where 7z worked any better for me then other archive formats | 04:11 |

| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: you could evn try mine, then see if it works.. then run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and tweak it some more | 04:13 |
| morrison | i will try yours and see what happens | 04:13 |

| michal_ | problems with presario cq60 key mapping | 04:13 |
| morrison | after all this has been alot of trial and error | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: ive spent MANY a hr reading nvidia docs and stuff :) | 04:14 |
| morrison | isn't going to hurt it more than what it already is | 04:14 |
| michal_ | i cant disable the mouse pad with button | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis_, my xorg (also generated by nvidia-settings) has the <Option "Xinerama" "0"> in ServerLayout instead of a separate ServerFlags - I'm sure it doesn't make any difference, just interesting that it is different at all | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: thers also the command 'sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-xinerama' that Might do it | 04:14 |
| damo22 | objorn: 7z a -mhe=on -pPASSWORD out.7z * | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | If xinerama is enabled the apps will fullscreen across both displays, From what ive seen | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | thats normally not what people want | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Twinview supercedes Xinerama | 04:15 |
| morrison | i just think it's interesting that your xconf looks alot different than mine | 04:15 |

| Dr_Willis_ | hal9k2010: more ram is a must. but its not worth buyng more ram for the old things any more | 04:23 |
| hal9k2010 | i have no idea of how much ram is in this old imac so i am using old versions | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis_ | hal9k2010: old versons do not always mean they use less ram | 04:24 |
| hal9k2010 | i see | 04:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | deadduck, #virtualmin | 04:24 |
| damo22 | hal9k2010: i bet the hard drive is chugging like crazy | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | once it hits swap.. its using swap.. so it proberly dosent matter | 04:24 |
| hal9k2010 | i am just playing with this... it was free :) | 04:24 |

| hal9k2010 | i was thinking installing ubuntu and then change the desktop env. to lxde | 04:25 |
| damo22 | hal9k2010: did you have to load "open firmware" and play with the boot up parameters using command option O F ? | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | hal9k2010: issue i had was the monitor display was shfted to the left too far. | 04:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | lxde may work better. i dident try it. | 04:25 |
| pixelated | hal9k2010, use bash as your UI it would be even faster ;') | 04:26 |
| hal9k2010 | no so far is installing good but very very slow | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | hal9k2010: i found the ox-s install to be even slower. :) | 04:26 |
| deadduck | ZykoticK9, thanks | 04:27 |

| morrison | but it's still expanding it across both screens and i know it can be contained on a single screen because upstairs on my laptop dual screen i can keep it on a seperate monitor | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | hal9k2010: No idea how much of a diff it would be - finding an intel cpu the same clock speed /same ram - would proberly be just as slow | 04:30 |

| morrison | i opened the nvida settings tools open is there something else i need to do | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: did you save the xorg.conf ? check it afterwards? | 04:32 |
| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: pastebin it and lets look at it. | 04:32 |
| morrison | yes i did save it and i already opened it | 04:32 |

| JULinuxUser | Zykotick9 damo22 Ya I just checked those sites out. They are lame. They don't talk about exactly what ISOLinux is or how it works. I need somewhere that discusses each and every file in /isolinux/ and what it does. | 04:35 |

| te_ | etzerd: What is the "Dell issue"? | 04:47 |
| etzerd | it's not only ubuntu. I tried almot all the distro I have the same problem with them all. it seems to me that Linux have a problem the video card that come with this laptop. | 04:47 |
| Sarah90 | k4rt33k: can't i boot the live and ask it to reinstall the drivers or wahtever is messing | 04:47 |
| te_ | chocotaco123: Why? | 04:47 |
| etzerd | the integrad graphic card is not working with Linux | 04:47 |
| chocotaco123 | Why am I having trouble? | 04:47 |
| apipkin | there are about 30 images cached, is there something i can do with grep? like sudo rm -f | grep [\d\s]{32} | 04:48 |

| etzerd | the highest resolution it can display is 1024X768 where the laptop support up to 1600X900 | 04:48 |
| chocotaco123 | Gparted | 04:48 |

| Sarah90 | k4rt33k: my /home folder is in the same partition as ubuntu partition, will i lose everything? | 04:49 |
| Sarah90 | k4rt33k: i dont mind reinstalling ubuntu but i need to get my stuff out of the partition and i can't access to all folders when i boot from the live cd, why is that? | 04:50 |
| morrison | yes | 04:50 |

| Sarah90 | k4rt33k: last Q. is there a chance that i can access them files in ubuntu from windows 7? | 04:51 |
| k4rt33k | Sarah90: Nope. Linux uses ext3/4 formats which are invisible to windows | 04:52 |
| bmatthew | k4rt33k: not entirely true | 04:52 |
| te_ | chocotaco123: Not sure what to make of it. I've use gparted a number of times and it works fine. | 04:52 |
| k4rt33k | Sarah90: There are some programs which do that but they are unreliable | 04:52 |
| morrison | ah his text color changed no wonder i didn't notice | 04:53 |
| k4rt33k | bmatthew: Did I miss something? | 04:53 |
| bmatthew | k4rt33k: there are tools for reading ext2 volumes that will also read ext3/4 | 04:53 |
| chocotaco123 | I really hate it because I don't want to install Windows. | 04:53 |
| morrison | okay let me try this and see what happens | 04:53 |
| Sarah90 | k4rt33k: ahh boohoo microsoft. well many thanks for helping me k4rt33k. really appreeshiyate it XOXOX | 04:53 |
| k4rt33k | bmatthew: But can we copy files from ext3/4 to windows? | 04:53 |
| k4rt33k | bmatthew: AFAIK we can't | 04:54 |
| bmatthew | k4rt33k: yes | 04:54 |

| Dr_Willis_ | morrison: whenyou get it working right use the save button | 04:57 |
| mawst | I don't understand why flash is such a pain in the arse for 64 bit ubuntu | 04:57 |

| AJ_Z0 | mawst: The only real pain is finding the 64 bit Flash plugin for Linux on Adobe's site. After that it should work fine | 04:59 |
| chocotaco123 | I know its because of money, but if I were to buy an OS I would still buy Ubuntu. | 04:59 |

| Jared | I need help with ubuntu | 05:25 |
| ssmy | !ask | Jared | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Jared: 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. :-) | 05:25 |
| Jared | ok | 05:25 |
| Jared | !ask | 05:25 |
| mawst | That didn't say anything about 64 bit though | 05:25 |
| mawst | :/ | 05:25 |
| Jared | !ask l | 05:25 |
| natarajan | Jared: i want to connect my phone to desktop via bluetooth , i had install bluetooth software | 05:26 |
| amadeus_ | hello my question is where does Ubuntu 9.10 store its video file for configuring screens, is there a file like xorg.conf use to be and I know you can use xorg too just asking | 05:26 |
| natarajan | pls guide to me | 05:26 |
| Jared | I'm not tech | 05:26 |
| Tresmius | hmm | 05:26 |
| scunizi | amadeus_: check out xrandr for resolution settings. | 05:26 |
| Tresmius | check /etc/x11/xorg | 05:27 |
| mawst | aargh | 05:27 |
| abhijit | :) | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: users can have their own settings somewhere in their home. buti dont know the file | 05:27 |
| amadeus_ | scunizi is there a config file laying around somewhere in the system by chance | 05:27 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis thanks will look | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | the xrandr man pages may mention the file | 05:27 |
| abhijit | Jared: whats ur actual question? | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | wow - i had like 10 old kernels on this old box :) | 05:27 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis this has always been a mystery, I look it this way, why use xorg.conf if Ubuntu already has me covered | 05:28 |
| scunizi | amadeus_: probably but a lot off it seems to be dynamic.. the newer releases have gone to xrandr for control.. however you can create your own xorg.conf to override it. | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: ages ago there was no such feature. | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: thats why | 05:28 |
| Jared | I wanted to install itunes on ubuntu, how can i do that? | 05:28 |
| mawst | Found it! | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !itunes | Jared | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Jared: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 05:28 |
| bazhang | Jared, you cannot | 05:28 |
| abhijit | !players | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 05:28 |
| Devrethman | Ubottu: You forgot MPD! MPD is the best one... | 05:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:29 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis but if I can find the config then I can use it its way and get the same results right? Like having two video cards like I do and two screens act as one | 05:29 |
| Jared | MPD? | 05:29 |
| abhijit | natarajan which blutooth software you instaled? have u checked their wiki,help or manual? | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: for some server/features it has to be done when X starts up - that would be in the xorg.conf i imagine | 05:30 |
| Jared | how can I get mplayer? | 05:31 |
| abhijit | natarajan: which blutooth software you instaled? have u checked their wiki,help or manual? | 05:31 |
| BHoward | Jared, which ipod do you have? if you have an iphone or ipod touch you will need to follow some special directions | 05:31 |
| Jared | or which one is best one? | 05:31 |
| Jared | ipod | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: nvidia has nvidia-tools tool that can apply diffrent changes. but ive never noticed a way to have user 1 have twinbview enabled.. and user2 to NOT have the thing enabled | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: it may be possible - but ive not trried it | 05:31 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis I'm aware of that too, yet with xrandr or what Ubuntu uses that works so well its just logical for me to find its config and work from there | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: yep xrandr is a good feature/tool its relatively new also. So there can be quirks with some cards | 05:32 |
| BHoward | @jared sudo apt-get install mplayer | 05:32 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis well with xorg.conf I can get both screens going but.. its like having two screens I can't drag a window to the other one, however I can drag files to and from screens but thats it | 05:32 |
| Jared | @BHoward which one would be best for ipod? | 05:32 |
| Jared | how do i put red words? | 05:32 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis thanks for the tip, I'll dive right in | 05:33 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis why not take advantage of a good thing ;) | 05:33 |
| Jared | thats for terminal? | 05:33 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what red words | 05:33 | |
| BHoward | @Jared if you just have a regular ipod you can pretty much use anything | 05:33 |
| BHoward | @jared yes type that in the terminal | 05:34 |
| Jared | !ask BHoward ok | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:34 |
| ruhiger_detlef | hello | 05:34 |
| Jared | how do i talk directly to someone? like in red words? | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: for nvidia cards you want to enable twinview to allow you to have both monitors be one wide desktop | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: your draggng files.. is actually the gnome desktop/wm seeing the changes - so its trying to be smart. :) | 05:35 |
| pRincEss_nHa | duh ngbetein | 05:35 |
| BHoward | @jared its automatic when you name is in the text | 05:35 |
| ruhiger_detlef | Jared, like that | 05:35 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis lol not like windows moving things fully, which I can do with this setup so it has to be possible lol | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: I enable twinview.. i can drag a program from Monitor #1 to #2 normally | 05:36 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis in this setup I have here I"m using xface which I like much ;) will I be able to move files | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: what video card are you using exactly? | 05:36 |
| Jared | BHoward ok i did type that in there, now it says need password | 05:36 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis you can drag a folder a window to the other screen | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: yes.. the 2 moiniotors are one WIIIIDEEEEE desktop | 05:36 |
| BHoward | @jared enter your password you set when you installed ubuntu | 05:36 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis 1: Nvidia Geforce mx 200 and Ati Radeon 8500 real old | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: egads.. NVidia AND ati.. good luck :) | 05:37 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis good just like xp | 05:37 |
| amadeus_ | it'll work | 05:37 |
| amadeus_ | lol | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: enable xinerama perhaps,, and pray. | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: with just nvidia its a simple click click..done :) | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea on ati | 05:37 |
| Jared | BHoward ok installing it... | 05:37 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis the only thing I have found on xinerama is setting up your xorg, but is there an actual xinerama program or something | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: it sounds like you got 2 seperate X sessions, not one X session using Xinerama | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: its a feature of X - not a program | 05:38 |
| Jared | BHoward ok done, now what? | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ati and nvidia both have their own specilized Xinerama features/replacement | 05:38 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis xinerama is just something you setup via Xorg right | 05:38 |
| mod | how can I tell what wireless card my netbook has and find the right driver for it in 9.04? I've read that it has a Broadcom card and works fine in 9.10, but I'm not ready to fully upgrade yet | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: right | 05:38 |
| BHoward | @jared well its installed so now you can play media through mplayer | 05:38 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis then I have to find out how to get xrandr to do it, I did something like that with my Debian system on this drive | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: thers some Xinerama "0" or "1" setting to turn it on/off | 05:39 |
| freeaks | hi there | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive no idea if xrandr can do that or not, | 05:39 |
| Jared | BHoward how can I get to media? | 05:39 |
| freeaks | i have a problem with xset | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: since the way you got it now there are 2 seperate X sessions running. | 05:39 |
| Jared | oh sounds in application | 05:39 |
| freeaks | when i try to do "xset -r" to stop key auto repeat | 05:39 |
| nwidger | anyone know roughly how much space a standard ubuntu install takes up? | 05:39 |
| freeaks | its going crazy | 05:39 |
| Jared | I'm new to this Ubuntu thing | 05:40 |
| BHoward | @jared what are you trying to accomplish? | 05:40 |
| Dasuchin | bmatthew: hello | 05:40 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis well not now but in my Debian but if I put that exact xorg in there it will do the same most deff | 05:40 |
| BHoward | @jared everybody starts somewhere | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | nwidger: under 4gb i know :) but a Useable ubuntu setup.. thats another story | 05:40 |
| Tresmius | I have it on a 150gb partition :P | 05:40 |
| freeaks | someone can try xset -r ? | 05:40 |
| nwidger | Dr_Willis: im looking at a SSD HD for a mythbox... wondering if 8GB would be enough | 05:40 |
| freeaks | is it just me or ? | 05:40 |
| Jared | BHoward I'm just trying to fix this for my friend... | 05:40 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis is the two seperate displays like I have them setup is that damaging at all, I mean both are 1024x768 at 75hz | 05:40 |
| Tresmius | windows 7 on the other 350gb, and all my other "stuff" on the 1tb external | 05:41 |
| Jared | BHoward I have more experince on this than my friend.. he just want to use this like itunes stuff like that | 05:41 |
| BHoward | @jared it may be a good idea to add the medibuntu repository and install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:41 |
| freeaks | can i get help here? or this is the wrong place to ask ? | 05:41 |
| Jared | BHoward how would I do that? | 05:42 |
| mawst | swfdec is bah | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: i dont see how it can hurt anything | 05:42 |
| BHoward | @jared https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 05:42 |
| freeaks | can someone tell me how to stop key auto repeat on ubuntu (karmic) | 05:42 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis that is a relief | 05:42 |
| BHoward | @jared just follow the directions | 05:42 |
| rww | f | 05:42 |
| rww | r | 05:42 |
| freeaks | hello ? | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | freeaks: in the config menus. | 05:42 |
| rww | 1 | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | freeaks: system -> config -> keyboard settings | 05:42 |
| freeaks | Dr_Willis, thanks for the answer | 05:42 |
| freeaks | i go look | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | 'exploreign the menus 101' :) | 05:43 |
| Dasuchin | anyone know if theres a way to navigate tabs in gnome-terminal? | 05:43 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis then I might google xrandr dual monitor setup | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Dasuchin: i think theres a keyboard combo. but i never use it | 05:43 |
| freeaks | Dr_Willis, thanks it seems to work .. i have no idea why xset doesn't work though | 05:43 |
| bazhang | !xrandr | amadeus_ | 05:44 |
| ubottu | amadeus_: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 05:44 |
| amadeus_ | shazam! | 05:44 |
| amadeus_ | thanks | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Dasuchin: gnome-termional sesttings for keyboard -> shows the keys to do it | 05:44 |
| BHoward | @dasuchin its ctrl-PgUp and ctrl-PgDn | 05:44 |
| rww | well, that was fun | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | People never look in the menus.. :) | 05:44 |
| amadeus_ | maybe if Xrandr works better it should be used for all distos indeff | 05:44 |
| rww | freeaks: "xset -r" goes crazy, it's not just you | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | amadeus_: xrandr is a relatively new feature. so its slowly gaining features/ussage | 05:45 |
| Dasuchin | Dr_Willis: thanks | 05:45 |
| pRincEss_nHa | pd kmN siCH orng | 05:45 |
| kthomas_vh_ | is vncserver's access password stored in a secure manner? | 05:45 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis It would be cool if one could set it up on any distro a will via packman or apt-get | 05:45 |
| freeaks | Dr_Willis, well gfx stuff , like menus, used to never work or didn't provide as much option or flexibility as the command line, so i got used to do stuffs directly in the command line | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kthomas_vh_: its in .vnc/passwrd here. | 05:46 |
| freeaks | rww, thanks for letting me know | 05:46 |
| * kthomas_vh_ looks again | 05:46 | |
| Dr_Willis | freeaks: gnome is overriding the X settings i imagine. | 05:46 |
| freeaks | gnome ... | 05:46 |
| abhijit | hey natarajana u thr? | 05:46 |
| Jared | BHoward ok i did install respirotory, now extras? | 05:47 |
| Tresmius | Well what's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ? | 05:47 |
| kthomas_vh_ | Dr_Willis, well, it's not plain text :) | 05:47 |
| datz | hi, I'm trying to install a gnome theme. I deleted one, and am trying to add it back. Says can't add directory over directory. Where are the themes located so I can delete the right ones? | 05:47 |
| freeaks | maybe its time i erase it .. (gnome) xfce or lxde are looking way better and less bloated .. | 05:47 |
| tommy^m | hey, i got some problems with the ath9k driver. is i try downloading a iso in wireless mode i will get like bursts of downloading at 2mb/sek and then it goes down to 0kb/sek for 10-30 seconds before downloading again. it takes forever to download an iso?? | 05:48 |
| amadeus_ | Dr_Willis this is what I get the NV driver on G80 and higher boards (since 2.0.95), but I don't know if my Nvidia card will support that | 05:48 |
| tommy^m | i think maybe its an hardware issue | 05:48 |
| BHoward | @jared yes do this sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:48 |
| amadeus_ | whats with this unwanted private message I keep getting from who knows where, about Haiti | 05:48 |
| BHoward | @jared just copy and paste that whole command string | 05:48 |
| amadeus_ | someone being a troll it seems | 05:49 |
| Tresmius | just some racist guy | 05:49 |
| amadeus_ | it sure is | 05:49 |
| amadeus_ | he is | 05:49 |
| bazhang | amadeus_, they have been taken care of; you can set /mode +R if you wish to avoid unregged users PM'ing you | 05:49 |
| Tresmius | What's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ? | 05:49 |
| amadeus_ | I didn't know the command thanks :) | 05:50 |
| Tresmius | and what's the command to register? I don't think I got around to it | 05:50 |
| bazhang | amadeus_, what irc client? for xchat its /mode nickname +R | 05:50 |
| amadeus_ | bazhang_ xchat | 05:50 |
| Tresmius | I've used IRC a few times since 2005 but I never really memorised commands or anything | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | its /mode dr_willis +R In weechat also | 05:51 |
| amadeus_ | bazhang_ I have to have their name then?> | 05:51 |
| Tresmius | I expected /register would work | 05:51 |
| bazhang | just changed with the new ircd | 05:51 |
| happyface | how do I fix "wireless is disabled" in gnome-network-manager?! | 05:51 |
| bazhang | amadeus_, no your nickname: /mode amadeus_ +R | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder how to make weechat rember that | 05:51 |
| amadeus_ | I'm actually almark, amadeus is my name on my machine lol silly I didn't change it | 05:52 |
| === amadeus_ is now known as Almark | ||
| bazhang | ok | 05:52 |
| abhijit | happyface: right click on network icon and select enable wireless after switchin on the wireless button | 05:52 |
| happyface | abhijit: that option is greyed out, but I see my device with "iwconfig" | 05:53 |
| abhijit | happyface: have u switch on wireless button that is on ur laptop or ur router? | 05:53 |
| mjs7231 | Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel. | 05:53 |
| mjs7231 | How do I force it to always use the older one? | 05:53 |
| happyface | abhijit: it's definitely enabled | 05:53 |
| IdleOne | Dr_Willis: what does +R do? | 05:53 |
| bazhang | IdleOne, blocks unregged nicks from PM'ing you | 05:54 |
| IdleOne | bazhang: ahh, thanks | 05:54 |
| mee | Hi. I'm trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 using "do-release-upgrade" or "update manager" (GUI). I want to download the packages myself (with axel, download accelerator) and copy them to /var/cache/apt. How Can I find the name/url of the packages? | 05:55 |
| Dr_Willis | IdleOne: supposubly blocks messages from non0-regged users | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | IdleOne: I guess i will see if it works | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure how to put more t hen one on connect command in weechat :) | 05:56 |
| abhijit | happyface: whats definitely enabled? the button or the setting? | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | so i will have to rember the +R i guess | 05:57 |
| abhijit | happyface: then its that u may dont have the drivers | 05:57 |
| happyface | abhijit: the wifi is definitely enabled, I see it with nm-tool and iwconfig | 05:57 |
| mee | Any ideas? | 05:57 |
| Sarah90 | hey is it possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| bazhang | Sarah90, no | 05:57 |
| abhijit | happyface: in my case when i switch off the wireless button the button is red, when i press it to turn on it becomes blue and then i can click on enable wireless | 05:58 |
| Sarah90 | what is the difference between 32bit and 64bit? i never quite understood it | 05:58 |
| montyboy | mee, any mirror will suffice | 05:58 |
| happyface | abhijit: I think it's more complicated than that | 05:58 |
| abhijit | happyface: ok | 05:58 |
| montyboy | mee, but your in for a painful ride if you're going to do all that package by package | 05:59 |
| mee | montyboy: that's not the problem. I just need a list of files to download (from any mirror as you said) | 05:59 |
| abhijit | happyface: then try for installing the appropriate drives | 05:59 |
| mee | montyboy: something like download script in Synaptic | 05:59 |
| happyface | abhijit: how do I do that? | 05:59 |
| Almark | is grandr just a front end for xrandr? | 05:59 |
| abhijit | happyface: no i dont have deep knowledge of drivers better ask someone else | 06:00 |
| happyface | thanks for your help abhijit | 06:00 |
| montyboy | mee, dpkg –get-selections will give you a list | 06:00 |
| BHoward | @mee http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13 this may help. It goes through some of the process you have been talking about | 06:00 |
| abhijit | happyface: you can get the details of wireless card with lspci and then search for drivers of that card | 06:01 |
| abhijit | happyface: lspci | grep -i net | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Almark: its a panel applet i think. SO yes. | 06:01 |
| BHoward | @mee step 9 starts doing the download script | 06:01 |
| Flynsarmy | How can i add gtksourcecompletion to gtksourceview (on 9.10) like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2009/12/05/news-on-geditgtksourceview/ | 06:01 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis I see | 06:02 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis and thank you for your help thus far :) | 06:02 |
| tommy^m | hey guys, i get some problems with ath9k driver. here is some output from kern.log http://www.pastebin.org/91442 | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Almark: so many neat panel applets.. :) so little time | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Almark: and so little panel space | 06:02 |
| happyface | abhijit: I have proper drivers (iwlagn) which normally work, but recently my wireless hasn't been working | 06:02 |
| Almark | lol | 06:02 |
| abhijit | happyface: search in ubuntu forums there are lots of this type of questions. you may get one of them similar to you and may found your answer | 06:03 |
| Yatch | hi, when i try use sudo update-grub in ubuntu kamic, say /etc/default/grub no found, why? | 06:03 |
| abhijit | happyface: search in network forum of ubuntu forum | 06:03 |
| happyface | thanks | 06:03 |
| mee | montyboy: can you explain the whole process of upgrading with your solution? I just know about do-release-upgrade or the GUI | 06:04 |
| endriago_ | hola | 06:04 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ years ago 1999 to be exact on Redhat I was using a 800 x 600 screen and was allowed to move off the screen and it was like having a huge screen but one monitor, the screen moved until it hit the edge | 06:04 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ what was that? | 06:04 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ it was cool :) | 06:04 |
| endriago_ | alguien que hable espa;ol_ | 06:04 |
| montyboy | mee, are you doing this to speed up the downloads or do you need to do an offline upgrade? | 06:04 |
| endriago_ | castellano | 06:05 |
| mee | montyboy: speed | 06:05 |
| montyboy | mee, then save yourself a lot of headache and change your apt sources to a mirror that's 1. close 2. fast | 06:05 |
| tommy^m | Almark: multiple desktops? | 06:05 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ something like that might still come in handy | 06:05 |
| tommy^m | you have 2 workspaces in ubuntu as default | 06:06 |
| Almark | tommy^m back then no no lol just one screen but you could move your mouse to the edge of the screen it the desktop would move I was using NeXT in linux the windows manager | 06:06 |

| mjs7231 | Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel. How do I default to the older Kernel? | 06:07 |
| Almark | tommy^m not like today with different desktops one computer but like one huge desktop that moved when you hit the edge | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Almark: thats a feature of X to have a larger then normal screen virtual screen. it was common years ago - these days if peipole see it they think its a bug. | 06:07 |
| montyboy | mee, ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors check out the list and pick one near you and test it out | 06:07 |
| tommy^m | Almark: try ctrl + alt and right arrow | 06:07 |
| mee | BHoward: I'm trying to upgrade a release | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Almark: i cant even get the feature enabled on my Netbook which would be handy on it | 06:07 |

| k0rbis | Whats the difference between Wine and PlayOnLinux? | 06:08 |
| montyboy | Yatch, what's up? | 06:08 |
| tommy^m | axisys: you can add the location of your wallpapers to gnome | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | k0rbis: PlayOnLinux uses wine - its a front end | 06:09 |
| mee | thanks | 06:09 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ for retro sake I want to do it again lol | 06:09 |
| k0rbis | Front End? Whats that mean? | 06:09 |
| tommy^m | anyone having problems wth ath9k wireless driver? | 06:09 |
| Tresmius | Graphical user interface | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | k0rbis: it uses wine.. its not a replacement | 06:09 |
| Yatch | hmm, whne i try use update-grub, i get /etc/default/grub not found | 06:09 |
| BHoward | @k0rbis it just an easy to use interface | 06:09 |
| Yatch | when* | 06:09 |
| k0rbis | Ah so its just an add on for Wine, correct? | 06:09 |
| k0rbis | I see ok thank you. | 06:09 |
| tommy^m | Yatch: do you have that file? | 06:09 |
| Yatch | yes | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | its a tool that uses wine.. its not an addon for wine. :) | 06:09 |
| tommy^m | Yatch: ls -l /etc/default/grub | 06:09 |
| Yatch | exist | 06:09 |
| ng0n | wine is the 'engine' inside Play... | 06:09 |
| k0rbis | Yeah I got Wine installed right now. | 06:10 |

| Sumit | if I create a new folder from another application 'Dolphin' dont display it immediately, i need to refresh, but with 'Nautilus' its not necessary, are there any settings in Dolphin to avoid manual refresh??? | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to be exacting with words on computers | 06:10 |
| tommy^m | Yatch: try reinstalling grub then maybe | 06:10 |
| ng0n | it pay anytime | 06:10 |
| k0rbis | Had a few problems installing games, I'm sure its my ATI video card.. | 06:10 |
| Yatch | hmm i have tried, but i get error 127, | 06:10 |
| axisys | Dr_Willis: thanks | 06:10 |
| axisys | tommy^m: how ? | 06:11 |
| montyboy | Yatch, what steps have you taken to re-install grub? | 06:11 |
| axisys | tommy^m: i think u meant dir by location.. i thought u meant url .. thanks | 06:11 |
| tommy^m | axisys: rightclick the desktop and choose change desktop background, then click the "Add..." button | 06:11 |
| BHoward | @korbis I always have weird problems with wine and games. Sometimes it will kill my samba service, leave me at a strange resolution, or just remove share permissions from folders. Lol just seems like too much hassle | 06:12 |
| axisys | tommy^m: understood.. thanks | 06:12 |
| magn3ts | I'm having major apt problems with my kernel/modules: http://pastebin.ca/1795980 I'm scared to reboot. Can someone help me resolve this? Thanks! | 06:12 |
| tommy^m | allright =) | 06:12 |
| Almark | Dr_Willis_ You know it was like what I see on the Win 7, I have xp ;) on youtube ppl use zoom in and roam around their screen, that was what it was like but it was cool | 06:12 |
| k0rbis | Lol yeah its a big hassle for games | 06:12 |
| Yatch | apt-get remove, using synaptic, choosing reinstall | 06:12 |
| k0rbis | And first off, Linux isn't made for the gaming world. Just stick with the consoles. | 06:12 |

| Yatch | i wanna install, burg | 06:13 |
| BHoward | @k0rbis I have however had a high amount of success using cedega. None of the oddball problems. I even get better frame rates on some games then I do in windows | 06:13 |
| magn3ts | never mind, it looks like I need to do a dist-upgrade | 06:13 |
| montyboy | magn3ts, not htat big of a deal. you're using a backport for your alsa sound and it was compiled against the older kernel | 06:14 |
| k0rbis | Yep, I had a friend help me install Call of Duty MW2 on Ubuntu and I get about 20fps more | 06:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | is there an equivalent to FreeBSD's "nullfs" to allow you to mount a directory instead of a partition? | 06:14 |
| magn3ts | montyboy, actually it looks like alsa backport got installed but the kernel that it was based on didnt | 06:15 |
| cf-r3 | ls | 06:15 |
| magn3ts | it should be working itself out right now | 06:15 |
| Tresmius | gaming consoles sucked after the PSX :P | 06:15 |
| mjs7231 | Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel. How do I default to the older Kernel? | 06:15 |
| montyboy | magn3ts, MBP 5.x? | 06:16 |
| Tresmius | What's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ? | 06:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | mjs7231, holding SHIFT after BIOS "should" show you the grub menu, where you can select the old kernel. | 06:16 |
| magn3ts | montyboy, hehe, yes. | 06:16 |
| tommy^m | mjs7231: check out youre grub config | 06:16 |
| magn3ts | montyboy, how'd ya know | 06:16 |
| BHoward | @tresmius something else migh be using it at the same time | 06:16 |
| montyboy | magn3ts, me too - are you trying to dist-upgrade to 9.10? | 06:16 |
| magn3ts | montyboy, no, but I just installed 9.10 and I'm trying to fix the audio | 06:16 |
| montyboy | ah, ok | 06:17 |
| Tresmius | Well various websites that use flash to access the webcam seem to be able to access it fine (firefox) | 06:17 |
| magn3ts | right now my headphone jack doesn't work, and it looks like I'm going to have to patch alsa so that when the headphone jack comes on, it mutes the speakers. The MBP doesn't do it in the hardware | 06:17 |
| mjs7231 | tomatoes7, I am able to load the last kernel in the Grub menu, and I actually found a way to make grub remember the last selected option on boot. Now I am worried.. If one more kernel comes out, won't my current *working* kernel be removed from the list? | 06:17 |
| mjs7231 | very scarry | 06:17 |
| ClearNick | greetings. | 06:17 |

| mgoat | hi, trying to create a USB karmic installer from a hardy CD (out of cd-r's), is it possible? | 06:35 |
| mgoat | I need ext4 support | 06:35 |
| Elv13 | yes it is | 06:35 |
| BHoward | '@mgoat look up unetbootin | 06:35 |
| Elv13 | mgoat: but use something newer than hardy | 06:35 |
| mgoat | Elv13: i will use karmic | 06:36 |
| BHoward | @mgoat http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 06:36 |
| mgoat | i'm stuck in a hardy live cd | 06:36 |
| mgoat | thanks BHoward | 06:36 |
| Elv13 | mgoat: Ext4 was young when 8.04 came out, I think it was not supported as an install time option, you had to manually upgrade your file system after install | 06:36 |
| mgoat | elv13, i know this | 06:37 |
| mgoat | thanks though | 06:37 |
| nanotube | mgoat: you can use usb-creator to make a liveusb out of a livecd image | 06:38 |
| BHoward | I like using unetbootin mainly because you can easily download your distro through it. Plus it wont completely format your flash drive to use it. | 06:39 |
| BHoward | Found out the hard way that the ubuntu usb creator likes to format everything... | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | theresd a windows only alternative to unetbootin called linuxloader - it has some features not in Unetbootin. but has other issues | 06:40 |
| nanotube | BHoward: from the unetbootin website: "If you are having trouble with the Linux version, try the Windows version, it usually works better.".... so does using it from linux actually work? | 06:40 |
| BHoward | i have never tried it. have to check it out | 06:40 |
| BHoward | @nanotube I use it all the time | 06:40 |
| nanotube | BHoward: hrm.. ok. a little strange for them to be saying that, then... :) | 06:41 |
| BHoward | @nanotube in fact its in the repos but im not sure which version. sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 06:41 |
| billy12 | Im sorry to bother ya'll, but dose any know what the BIN file name for "Hardware Drives" is in 9.10? | 06:41 |
| BHoward | @nanotube I have never had a problem. been lucky i guess | 06:41 |
| cira | list ? | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | billy12: jockey-gtk i think | 06:42 |
| nanotube | BHoward: heh ic. never used it myself - only used usb-creator once for a netbook without a cd drive. ;) | 06:42 |

| Guest274 | Actually I am trying to install logmein on my pc, therefore I was installing rpm as they said that we need rpm because ubuntu is debian based | 06:48 |

| almoxarife | rothsdad: you want the player to translate it? | 07:02 |
| Jared | Dr_Willis: I'm not sure what to do.. | 07:02 |
| rothsdad | almoxarife: but smplayer works well | 07:02 |
| Jared | Dr_Willis: How do I open it with wine? | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: thers No guarentees that it will work at all.. or ever work. if that database dont mention it0- check the wine forums and perhsaps #winehq | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: wine pathtoinstraller.exe | 07:03 |
| Jared | Dr_Willis: what is that for? | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: in some cases ive had to use cracked versions to get them to work in wine | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: wine /path/to/windowsapp/whater.exe is how you run a windoes app in wine | 07:04 |
| fen` | nanomachine, interestingly if i create a folder, then mount /dev/sda1 that folder along with the rest of the filesystem appears on it. | 07:04 |
| Sogekingu | hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu. | 07:04 |
| Jared | Dr_Willis is that for terminal? | 07:04 |
| hyperstream | is there any way i can tell if im using my online internet usage or lan (streaming music on the lan, but all the net is a bit slow on the two wireless pc's , not sure if its just the wifi slowing or if its going on the internet live | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: of course | 07:04 |
| hyperstream | somethign to monitor the internet and ignore the lan | 07:04 |
| nanomachine | fen`, since it is mirrored, wouldn't the size show up as half? | 07:05 |
| Guest274 | In Ubuntu I can not install or download two things at a time, is there any application which allows us to do multitask in linux | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest274: the packagate manger has that limit to keep thigs sane. | 07:06 |
| almoxarife | hyperstream: I use wireshark, it can be filtered to remove the lan from the traffic log | 07:06 |
| Sogekingu | anyone can help my 800x600 xubuntu problem? | 07:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest274: otherwise things can get confused/broke real fast | 07:06 |
| sandipdev | @Guest274: u cant do that....multiple apps will result in inconsistencies | 07:06 |
| Guest274 | That means we have to bear this single task here? | 07:06 |
| hyperstream | almoxarife, just looking at wireshark, its a bit hard to understand ;/ | 07:06 |
| sandipdev | @Guest274 yes | 07:06 |
| fen` | nanomachine, not its a 750GB drive and a 750GB partiion on a 1tb drive, the mirrored size is 750GB | 07:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest274: if you want a stable system.. yes | 07:06 |
| Guest274 | I see, thanks for informing me | 07:06 |
| fen` | this is really wierd | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ive noticed windows now does it that way also for many cases | 07:07 |
| sandipdev | @Dr_willis: they are learning fast then ;-) | 07:07 |
| nanomachine | fen`, can you umount /dev/md0? | 07:07 |
| Sogekingu | hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu. | 07:07 |
| fen` | i can try, its got an lvm sitting on it | 07:07 |
| Jared | Dr_Willis ok it failed... what now? | 07:08 |
| fen` | umount: /: device is busy. | 07:08 |
| Guest274 | @Guest is there any application by which I can access my ubuntu 9.04 from windows XP professional? | 07:08 |
| nanomachine | fen`, fopen and lsof should show whats using it | 07:08 |
| nanomachine | not fopen, i forgot the name of the command | 07:09 |
| sandipdev | @Sogekingu: ur graphics card/chipset isnt configured | 07:09 |
| sandipdev | install proper drivers | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: check google for what the errors mean and #winehq - theres no guarentee that ANYTHING will ever make it work | 07:09 |
| Guest274 | @Guest274 I can not use teamviewer in linux, | 07:09 |
| fen` | lsof -t reports nothing | 07:09 |
| joot | Guest274: not sure about that but the reverse is possible.. | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Jared: thatw why theres that wine app database to help people get things going | 07:09 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | does anyone know a backup tool that won't just make an image of a partition? like... it will only copy used sectors to the backup file? | 07:09 |
| TheMusicGuy | Oddly, I can commit junk fine from inside trunk/ | 07:09 |
| sandipdev | @Guest274: there are apps which will let u access ur linux partitions in unix | 07:09 |
| Sogekingu | sandipdev how would I do that, I am running it through virtualbox if that helps. | 07:09 |
| TheMusicGuy | s/junk/just | 07:10 |
| Guest274 | No I want to access my pc remotely from windows | 07:10 |
| sandipdev | @Sogekindu: whats the make of ur graphics card? | 07:10 |
| almoxarife | Guest274: tried 'vnc'? | 07:10 |
| Sogekingu | nvidia gt 240m | 07:10 |
| joot | Guest274: Maybe Wubi??? | 07:10 |
| TheMusicGuy | millertimek1a2m3: take a look at rsnapshot | 07:10 |
| Guest274 | Ok VNC | 07:10 |
| hyperstream | almoxarife, how do i apply the filter that excludes Network traffic, and only capture things outgoing | 07:10 |
| Sogekingu | sandipdev nvidia gt 240m | 07:10 |
| sandipdev | @Guest274: why dont u access it thru Putty with X forwarding enabled | 07:10 |
| sandipdev | @Sogekingu: go to add remove and install nvidia drivers..see if that helps | 07:11 |
| Guest274 | Should I install putty in windows XP and in linux too, then enable forwarding. right? | 07:11 |
| Sogekingu | sandipdev ok ill try. | 07:12 |
| sandipdev | @Guest274: Install Putty in Windows and enable SSH server (daemon) on Linux | 07:12 |
| TheMusicGuy | millertimek1a2m3: btw, you normally make filesystem backups based on _files_, not based on raw binary disk data (ie. sectors/disk images) | 07:12 |
| almoxarife | hyperstream: I usually right click then drill down to the filter option then use the 'not' option, that's for not seeing that particular stream | 07:12 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | TheMusicGuy, right, i was just saying make a backup of the only the stuff that is actually there, as in not a 40 gig image of a 40 gig partition that actually only has 4 gigs of files on it | 07:13 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | thanks | 07:13 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | :) | 07:13 |
| hyperstream | almoxarife, ive set it: !(ip.addr == 10.1.1.8) (this is my laptops IP address tho, so will this stop the internet traffic as well?) | 07:13 |
| sandipdev | @Sogekingu : I think if u r running in VbOx, tweaking the VM settings for that OS shud work...allocate more video memory to it... etc... | 07:13 |
| nanomachine | fen`, can you umount /dev/sda1? | 07:14 |
| fen` | mm i think its the uuid to device mappings that are fucked. | 07:14 |
| TheMusicGuy | millertimek1a2m3: right. think of backups in terms of _files_, not in terms of _disks_, and you'll get a lot farther. :D | 07:14 |
| so0ky | where do i find the different chmod options? | 07:14 |
| fen` | excuse the language.. sry/ | 07:14 |
| joot | fen; language | 07:14 |
| iceroot | so0ky: in the manpage | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !chmod | 07:15 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 07:15 |
| iceroot | so0ky: man chmod | 07:15 |
| fen` | joot, yeah i already caught myself, two seconds after i did it. | 07:15 |
| so0ky | ty | 07:15 |
| almoxarife | hyperstream: look at the stream? you may want to filter it so that you don't see your ip (out) or else it excludes the ip show altogether , I think :) | 07:15 |
| joot | fen; coolas | 07:15 |
| hyperstream | blah | 07:15 |
| nanomachine | fen`, what did you do last before this problem occurred? | 07:16 |
| semitones | is it possible to change your account name on ubuntuforums? | 07:16 |
| almoxarife | hyperstream: why filter? once the log starts and you scroll back you can see all traffic, you should be able to tell if you are streaming outside the lan | 07:16 |
| fen` | its not an issue, everything still works but its providing incorrect info | 07:16 |
| hyperstream | Are there any other known applications that can tell me what im using through my WiFi - Need to monitor what im using over my network and what im using on the actual internet. | 07:17 |
| hyperstream | almoxarife, i get heavyly spammed, with 3 chat clients open, and alot of other stuff utilizing the internet ;/ | 07:17 |
| almoxarife | hyperstream: I use firestarter for a personal firewall on ubuntu, there are others, its simple enough, shows what is connected to what and allows you to shut down and open ports as you please | 07:18 |
| joot | semitones; yes but i think you lose your beans | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | limabeans :) | 07:20 |
| semitones | joot: as long as I keep my posts.. | 07:20 |
| semitones | "threads started by" etc. so I can still find them | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | i really need to check the forums more. but i can only do so much :) | 07:20 |
| Guest274 | I have install sun6-jre, Now how can I install logmein in ubuntu | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !info logmein | 07:21 |
| ubottu | Package logmein does not exist in karmic | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Does LogmeIN have a homepage? | 07:21 |
| Sogekingu | hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu via VirtualBox. | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Sogekingu: for vcbox to get higher res you must install the vbox guest addations | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | !vbox | 07:23 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 07:23 |
| Sogekingu | Dr_Willis Thank you so much. I been trying to find solution for ages. | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a reason they made the guest addations :) | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | im not sure if the guest addons are avail in the repos or not. | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | or use the latest from vbox | 07:25 |
| Sogekingu | yeah I wasnt sure what they were. They are included in VBox | 07:26 |
| Sogekingu | I just didnt want to apply somthing I knew little of. | 07:26 |
| joot | semi tones: you have to start again take a look at this..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398540&highlight=change+username+in+forums | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | the vbox 'share' feature is also a must learn/setup feature as well | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | check the vbox docs. | 07:26 |
| rothsdad | centerim is really cool! | 07:26 |

| AbizzalsX | grub doesn't display an entry that's in boot.cfg but does display all other boot.cfg entries correctly | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Sogekingu: ive been playing with 'andlinux' also - its linux in a qemu virutal machine + xming so you get the linux apps on your windows dekstop | 07:28 |
| AbizzalsX | Any thoughts anyone? | 07:28 |
| AbizzalsX | Been battling this for a couple of hours now | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: boot.cfg? You mean grub.cfg? | 07:28 |
| AbizzalsX | err yeah grub.cfg | 07:29 |
| AbizzalsX | I can change the other menuentries and the updates are reflected when I reboot | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: i noticed a similer thing with some iso files i was trying to boot.. but havent looked into it lately | 07:29 |
| AbizzalsX | It's only the "Windows" menuentry that isn't reflected | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm these are my own custome entries that are not showing up. | 07:29 |
| joot | Abizzal: sudo update-grub | 07:29 |
| almoxarife | Sogekingu: I run ubuntu on a very new laptop using 'wubi', creates a dual boot without having to create a new partition, so far so good | 07:29 |
| AbizzalsX | Dr_Willis: Ah - I figure I have some parameter wrong...But without error messages or logging it's difficult to sort out | 07:29 |
| hyperstream | Whats my best method of setting up a multiple sound system, with 3 ubuntu desktops, each hooked upto a speaker system through out the house, and keeping the audio sync'd | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: not sure what to check really. | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hyperstream: puse audio lets one pc play sound to all the other pc;s speakers | 07:30 |
| AbizzalsX | joot: Yes been doing that after I fiddle with the 11_Windows | 07:30 |
| AbizzalsX | It updated grub.cfg with the new menuentry | 07:30 |
| AbizzalsX | But that menuentry isn't displayed at boot | 07:30 |
| joot | Abizzal: roflmao | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: i wonder if grub is seeing some mistake and thus ignoring the entry | 07:31 |
| so0ky | how do i restart/start a service in Ubuntu Server? | 07:31 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, uses too much bandwidth over the Wifi | 07:31 |

| Dr_Willis | so0ky: sudo service SERVICENAME restart | 07:31 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, slows it down to a crawl. | 07:31 |

| Dr_Willis | Aida: if its all in colum type layout - awk can do all sorts of things to it. | 07:42 |
| semitones | so0ky: try the pageup key | 07:42 |
| semitones | I think | 07:42 |
| n-iCe | !rt73 | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | so0ky: for the console thers some key vombo also.. or use screen. I forget the combo | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: im not going to teach you awk. Its documented all over the web | 07:43 |
| almoxarife | Aida: the file is delimited? | 07:43 |
| n-iCe | anyone knows about a rt73 wireless card? | 07:43 |

| Guest61733 | thank u | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | now you can chat with your faimly | 07:44 |
| AbizzalsX | Seems to me lots of people with grub issues on the community forums - So many it makes searching for people with hte same issure problematic | 07:44 |
| Guest61733 | oh dr_willis one problem im trying to install linux mint and i put the cd in and it just keeps saying loading | 07:44 |
| Guest61733 | bad image perhaps | 07:44 |
| Guest61733 | ?? | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest61733: i suggest sticking to normal ubuntu not mint. | 07:44 |
| nanomachine | fen`, you may be confused about what is where | 07:44 |
| Guest61733 | i have run mint b4 | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: i would suggest finding some awk tutorials and read them. your problem sounds like one that awk can do rtahter easially. and ive not used awk in over a year. | 07:45 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis: did Mint do something to offend ubuntu -- or are they just hard to support | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: in some way yes.. | 07:45 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis: I am curios! | 07:45 |
| semitones | offtopic? | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: the tend to badmouth ubuntu a lot. Id rather see them work with ubuntu more then trying to be so divided | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: yep definatly OT. :) | 07:46 |
| Guest61733 | Dr_willis im only 15 and i am looking for a new operating systems like linux first time trying it and i like it | 07:46 |
| joot | ghesquier: I had a similat problem and nvidia would not parse the settings into xorg.conf so I just cut and paste the settings from nvidia to xorg.conf worked for me | 07:46 |
| Guest61733 | im just wandering if its the disk or the image | 07:46 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis: seeing as they're based on ubuntu, I don't know what they have to gain by being disrespectful.. | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I really cant see much need to use Mint any more. of course I know what stuff to install onubuntu to get the stuff going I need | 07:47 |
| Sogekingu | hey Dr_Willis do you know how I might be able to have my usb mouse and keyboard hooked up to my vbox exclusively. See I have dual screens so I wanna pretend like I got 2 computers. | 07:47 |
| almoxarife | hope it's the image or else you got drive issues | 07:47 |
| so0ky | how do you tell a ubuntu box to requery the DHCP server? | 07:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Sogekingu: not sure if thats doable or not. try the vbox forums perhaps | 07:47 |
| Sogekingu | well it was worth a try, cheers. | 07:47 |
| CyberaX2195 | grub2 is a lot more tolerant than the original grub | 07:47 |
| CyberaX2195 | thats for sure | 07:48 |
| Sogekingu | Thing is I had this working, before I installed the guest addons. | 07:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | so0ky, "sudo dhclient eth0" < if eth0 is the adapter you want to refresh | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html | 07:48 |
| so0ky | omg thanks | 07:48 |
| MWTC_King | 1 gb swap is enough right? | 07:48 |
| MWTC_King | guys? | 07:48 |
| CyberaX2195 | thats what i normally allocate for a VM | 07:48 |
| Aida | <Dr_Willis>i am stupit for this can you tel me thwe comand | 07:49 |
| semitones | MWTC_King: your swap should at least = your ram | 07:49 |
| semitones | I think? | 07:49 |
| CyberaX2195 | i thought the rule was swap = 4x ram ? | 07:49 |
| almoxarife | Sogekingu: the settings menu of vbox allow you to grab certain usb's | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: no i can not.. i dont have your data so i cant tell you the exact awk command.. and if i Did have the data - i would have to spend the next 20 min figureiung out the proper awk syntax/script | 07:49 |
| Flannel | CyberaX2195: Once you get past 2GB of swap or so, that gets silly. | 07:49 |
| CyberaX2195 | possibly | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: or you could use a text editor and create some macro do to the editing and go throguh the file | 07:49 |
| dinobar | jj | 07:50 |
| Guest274 | I think the rule is swap= 2X ram | 07:50 |
| MWTC_King | lol you guys are funny | 07:50 |
| semitones | Flannel: the idea being that you're not holding more than 2gb in memory when you hibernate? | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | 2xram is overkill in many cases | 07:50 |
| welcom | ku | 07:50 |
| MWTC_King | that mean 4gb for my 2 gb ram? | 07:50 |
| om26er | how can I change my window manager to mutter(default)? | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Aida: and if you chatted in here instead of msging me - someone else in here who knows AWK might be willing to help | 07:50 |
| Guest274 | Yes that would be 4gb for your 2gb ram | 07:50 |
| almoxarife | Aida: copy file to foo.csv , load into openoffice spreadsheet, make the changes, save the file, rename it to "????????????? | 07:51 |

| semitones | the definitive answers | 07:51 |
| IP-v6 | hi | 07:51 |
| IP-v6 | How can i use ie with ubuntu ? I need internet explorer for a government website ? | 07:51 |
| Flannel | semitones: Theoretically you don't need *any* swap (if your RAM is big enough that you'll never use the swap). But to hibernate, you need at least as much swap as RAM, because your RAM contents get written to your swapspace | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | IP-v6: you could change your firefox useragent and many sites that 'need ie' magically work | 07:52 |
| IP-v6 | it didn't work | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | IP-v6: or check out the 'ies4linux' project | 07:52 |
| semitones | Flannel: so, saying you have 4gb ram -- would you need a 4gb swap? | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | complain to the site maintainer also | 07:52 |
| rhys_ | hello | 07:52 |

| MWTC_King | 5. swap | 07:52 |
| Flannel | semitones: If you want to hibernate, yes. | 07:52 |
| Aida | can some one help | 07:52 |
| Aida | me | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: i normally use / /home and swap | 07:53 |
| semitones | Flannel: so that's why hibernate never works... :P thanks | 07:53 |
| IP-v6 | i am checking ies4linux too, thanks | 07:53 |

| almoxarife | Guest37120: you need to install vlc, I assume you don't have it | 07:55 |

| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: vista has a tool for it.. or i use gparted live cd | 07:56 |
| nicolasantoniou | hello ubuntu users | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: that the one missing some entries? | 07:56 |
| MWTC_King | 300 gb on c:/ | 07:56 |
| nicolasantoniou | how do you install wine? | 07:57 |
| MWTC_King | Dr_Willis, what tool? | 07:57 |
| AbizzalsX | Dr_Willis: Not that I know of? | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: then whats the problem? :) | 07:57 |
| MWTC_King | nicolasantoniou, sudo apt-get install wine | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: the disk manager tool in vista can resize windows drives even while in use.. Notsure how it manages to do it | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | nicolasantoniou | 07:57 |

| Guest37120 | ubottu: wine isnt always affective it tends to screw up at times | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: ive heard of others with that issue.. but never seen a fix. Perhaps the forum may have an suggestion | 07:58 |
| semitones | If I have a lot of ram, will Ubuntu speed up if I change swappiness | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: so its shown in grub.cfg but not in the actual grub menu? | 07:58 |
| MWTC_King | ubottu: you are a dumb | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: if it never swaps due to lots of ram.. i dont think so | 07:58 |
| MWTC_King | ubottu: you are so lame | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:59 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis: that's kind of what I thought | 07:59 |
| MWTC_King | ubottu: yes you are not intelligent | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:59 |
| aaron | is Ubuntu cloud computing like microsoft terminal services where you login to a remote server ? | 07:59 |
| AbizzalsX | Dr_Willis: Yes | 07:59 |

| MWTC_King | WHY PARTITION MAGIC DISCONTINUED :( | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: i keep my windows and linux on their own hd's so iu can always set the bios to boot the windows drive directly | 08:00 |
| MWTC_King | :@ | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: Why use a comercial tool when the gparted live cds can do it for free | 08:00 |
| AbizzalsX | Dr_Willis: This is a friends laptop I usually just use VMs myself | 08:00 |
| MWTC_King | Dr_Willis, i am friendly with partition magic | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: got bought out by a competator perhaps.. | 08:01 |
| kinja-sheep | MWTC_King: Because just like every another magic trick, it must end. | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: too bad i guess | 08:01 |
| so0ky | i don't know what I am doing wrong. my router will not give my server any IP address information. | 08:01 |
| AbizzalsX | Dr_Willis: thanks for your help | 08:01 |
| AbizzalsX | I'll keep hacking on it | 08:01 |
| MWTC_King | i always use cracked apps.... coz i am a pirate :D | 08:01 |
| ghesquiere | Dr_Willis, I was the one who was having monitor resolutions problems earlier. You told me to rename xorg.conf and run nvidia-settings. I did as you told me but the correct resolutions are still aren't showing up. I rebooted my pc and saw the nVidia driver was deactivated so I reinstalled and the right resolutions are still not there. | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | AbizzalsX: ive seen it mentioned in here. so theres proberly 100 threads on it in the forums. | 08:01 |
| iflema | MWTC_King the install cd has options to resize partitions during the installation | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: the drivers are activated now? if they keep getting deactivated on reboot.. thats going to be aproblem | 08:02 |
| aaron | is cloud computing like terminal services? | 08:02 |
| Guest37120 | hey Dr_willis it still doing the same thing as wat i told the other guy its starting up but closing | 08:02 |
| Guest37120 | help | 08:02 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron: I'm RIAA and we'll visit to your lovely town soon! :) | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron: cloud computing is a bit of a broad vague term tossed about a lot. | 08:02 |
| ghesquiere | Dr_Willis, yeah I activated after I rebooted my pc. What should I do? | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: not sure. I rarely have any issuesd with my 3 mvidia machines. | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: what video card? | 08:03 |
| joot | mwtc-king: use can use the ubuntu install to resize windows | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: if you activate after reboot.. you need to restart X or perhaps reboot. | 08:03 |
| MWTC_King | iflema, yes i know... i have installed ubuntu before... a lot of time but i am not friendly with gparted | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | If you know partion magic. gpart4d shouldent be too hard to figure out | 08:04 |
| semitones | gparted has improved a lot in 2 years | 08:04 |
| ghesquiere | Dr_Willis: Yeah, I already rebooted after reactivating it. I'm using GEForce2 MX/Mx 400. | 08:04 |
| crawler | my 4 yeaar old sister partitioned my drive using gparted | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: thats an old card aint it. :( | 08:04 |
| Guest37120 | Almoxarife: its still doing the same thing mate | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ghesquiere: i recall in ages past a lot of issues with 'MX' cards | 08:05 |
| iflema | MWTC_King one way is just step through the install process and customise partitioned drives....... its the usual install dialog.... ya click along for a bit select custom and resize..... | 08:05 |
| Guest37120 | crawler ur sister is a genius | 08:05 |
| Guest37120 | man oh man | 08:05 |
| crawler | xD | 08:05 |
| ghesquiere | Dr_Willis: Yeah, it is. :( But I used to use to this monitor in the same CPU but this is the first time I've encountered this problem. | 08:05 |
| crawler | i coached her though, she installed ubuntu | 08:05 |
| Guest37120 | crawler u mite be able to make her a hacker | 08:05 |
| Guest37120 | haha | 08:06 |

| Dr_Willis | Besogon: the ubuntu-tweak tool lets you change it. but for some themes - that tool wont work | 08:13 |
| Besogon | Dr_Willis: I knew but I'v forgot now. It's just for put there a icon. Have you got ~/.local/share/icons path? (I haven't, may be because I'v not edited menu entry yet on the computer) | 08:18 |

| linuxpjc780 | I need some help removing a folder I do not have permissions for. I accidentally installed it as a root. | 08:19 |
| linuxpjc780 | I already uninstalled it using terminal. | 08:19 |
| linuxpjc780 | Can anyone help? | 08:20 |
| kinja-sheep | aaron: I hilight you by mistake. You can easily find out what it is on Internet. :o | 08:20 |
| Besogon | :-D | 08:20 |
| crawler | linuxpjc780: you created this folder as root? | 08:20 |
| linuxpjc780 | Yeah, by mistake. I'm new Linux. I should have installed it as non-root. | 08:21 |
| linuxpjc780 | New to Linux, I mean ... | 08:21 |
| crawler | linuxpjc780: what i do to make it easy is gksu nautilus, then browse to the folder + delete it as normal | 08:21 |
| Besogon | linuxpjc780: Can't use "sudo" for it? | 08:21 |
| kinja-sheep | linuxpjc780: H | 08:21 |
| rasse | any alternative software for dreamweaver in linux, mainly to edit php codes. | 08:22 |

| Besogon | Someone help me. Look for dir ~/.local/share/icons. Do you have it? please | 08:23 |
| linuxpjc780 | crawler: What is the sudo command for deleting it? | 08:23 |
| aaron | kinja-sheep I have read about it and installed the server software every thing is to broad. Is it like a OS on a remote system or just web apps I need some kind of tutorial all im finding is not detailed | 08:23 |
| kinja-sheep | Besogon: I do. | 08:23 |
| Besogon | kinja-sheep: thanks | 08:24 |
| linuxpjc780 | I already did "sudo apt-get remove [file name]" | 08:24 |
| kinja-sheep | linuxpjc780: You can change it using "sudo chown $USER:$USER /path/to/folder" | 08:24 |
| Besogon | linuxpjc780: "sudo rm filename" | 08:24 |
| Besogon | linuxpjc780: apt-get is for packages not for files | 08:25 |
| linuxpjc780 | kinja-sheep: K - let me try that ... | 08:25 |
| Besogon | linuxpjc780: "sudo rm -r filename" for delete foulder recursively | 08:26 |
| iceroot | linuxpjc780: use sudo only if it is a file belonging to root | 08:27 |

| Dr_Willis | eras3r: why are you thinking the sector size matters? | 08:30 |
| eras3r | i thing the Gparted has some bugs | 08:30 |
| eras3r | DR_willis ...so | 08:30 |
| linuxpjc780 | kinja-sheep: K - that worked! Thanks. I'm getting the hang of it. | 08:30 |
| eras3r | can we talk in prv? | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | eras3r: not really. Im in and out all day long | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never had to mess with sector size in years... | 08:31 |
| eras3r | yes | 08:31 |
| eras3r | i have a External HDD with 320 gb | 08:31 |
| eras3r | and i want to install ubuntu live or desktop on it... i have made a stik...with unetbooting (ubuntu 9.10 live) and run the desktop shortcut "Install ubuntu 9.10" | 08:32 |

| rockz | Hey iam not able to change login screen in ubuntu 9.10 | 08:34 |
| eras3r | on my External HDD when the Gparted open said : "Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 1024.Not all parts o GNU Parted support this at he moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL" | 08:34 |
| eras3r | and then crash | 08:34 |

| dragon | eras3r: that sucks. | 08:34 |
| eras3r | bloking at 47% "Statrint up partitioner | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | eras3r: why not repartion the hd with smaller sector size. I wonder what made the sector size that size. | 08:35 |
| rockz | any one can help me | 08:35 |
| dragon | rockz: you'll have to wait for the next release. Gnome made some changes to the architecture and the UI isn't ready for the new system. | 08:35 |
| nagchampa | i'm trying to get my screen's dpi set properly systemwide, and not just for gnome | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ive never seen that error on any of my usb drives. but most all of them have been ext3 formated at one time | 08:35 |
| ZiG|ZaG | apt-get purge package < is this adequate for removing software? | 08:35 |
| syn-ack | Dr_Willis: NTFS Perhaps? IIRC you can configure it to use that sort of block size | 08:35 |
| nagchampa | the xconfig seems to be not in the standard place though | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | syn-ack: yea but thats not the default id think | 08:36 |
| eras3r | i`ve tried on Windows.... to rezise the sector size with 512.... but... nothing... | 08:36 |
| v3rr3z | Whats a linuc C++ program? | 08:36 |
| rockz | ok | 08:36 |
| eras3r | ok | 08:36 |
| v3rr3z | linux not linuc obviously. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | eras3r: windows can repartion hard drives also. you could make a unallocated space on it to put linux on | 08:36 |
| dragon | ZiG|ZaG: yes, it's adequate. | 08:36 |
| syn-ack | v3rr3z: most gnome count? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I never do a 'full' type install to usb media | 08:36 |
| ZiG|ZaG | ok | 08:37 |
| eras3r | i have all my 320 GB unnalocated and when i stat Gparted ....crash error etc | 08:37 |
| v3rr3z | syn-ack I am new and you lost me. | 08:37 |
| MWTC_King | its so nice to be back :D | 08:37 |
| syn-ack | v3rr3z: from what it sounded like you wanted someone to name a Linux C++ so I did | 08:37 |
| aaron | so I take it no one is willing to explain what cloud computing is or offer any good resources. | 08:37 |
| v3rr3z | Gnome Count? | 08:37 |
| pererik87 | Anyone have a decent shell/terminal .sh tutorial to point to. after 4 hours i still haven't successfully managed to create a simple if function with a input value. | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | Dr_Willis: Hell the most I've ever done with a USB drive was copy over an image an a kickstart heh | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | v3rr3z: no, Does Most of GNOME Count | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | pererik87: check the advanced bash scripting guide. it has examples | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | ? | 08:38 |
| netman1 | pererik87: package bash-doc | 08:38 |
| v3rr3z | I dont know.. xD Does it. | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron: its a vague buzzword sort of term | 08:38 |
| syn-ack | v3rr3z: yes. | 08:38 |
| eras3r | gparted said " Appliocation problem. Sorry, GParted close unexpectedly" | 08:39 |
| netman1 | Dr_Willis: ;-) | 08:39 |
| v3rr3z | How would I use that.. And would it work if the file type says Visual C++ 9.0 | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron: all the data is on the servers.. you just run 'clients' gee, like we did 30+ yrs ago..... | 08:39 |
| syn-ack | Visual C++ != ANSI C++ | 08:39 |
| syn-ack | so in other words, no, it will not work, without modification | 08:39 |
| eras3r | can anybody help? | 08:40 |
| satz | tell me ur problem? | 08:40 |
| pererik87 | @Dr_willis that site looks like it was med in bash :S | 08:40 |
| MWTC_King | eras3r, run again | 08:40 |
| MWTC_King | with root | 08:40 |
| syn-ack | pererik87: what? | 08:40 |

| eras3r | and then crash | 08:40 |
| v3rr3z | How do you shut down a program if it is frozen | 08:41 |
| aaron | DR_Willis: I have installed the ubuntu server cloud and find my self setting at a shell not knowing what to do next. Ill my searching ex-planes that everything is proccessed on the server side I cant find how to setup or configer for all the crap about what it is and even that any to clear | 08:41 |
| almoxarife | is it possible to increase the size of root.disk on a wubi install of karmic? | 08:41 |
| syn-ack | eras3r: you were told already what to do | 08:41 |
| kinja-sheep | v3rr3z: It should prompt up "Force Close / Quit" -- Something of a sort. | 08:41 |
| eras3r | ? | 08:41 |
| eras3r | run as root | 08:41 |
| kinja-sheep | v3rr3z: You could open a terminal -- Type 'xkill' and click on the frozen window. | 08:41 |
| eras3r | ? | 08:41 |
| syn-ack | eras3r: have you tried to make some unallocated space on that disk via windows? | 08:42 |

| robbit10 | Hello people. My parents are considering to buy a new laptop for me. What are good brands for use with Ubuntu, but also Windows 7? | 08:44 |
| jbee | darolu: thx. | 08:44 |
| Fizix | denis123, Grub should automatically see all of the kernel versions, no? | 08:44 |
| netman1 | robbit10: general advice: buy a model 6-12 months old. | 08:44 |
| disappearedng | anyway to reset xorg settings? | 08:45 |
| netman1 | robbit10: less problems with drivers which are not out yet. | 08:45 |
| denis123 | Fizix: it didn't I don't know why. I installed newer one via https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa | 08:45 |
| robbit10 | netman1: And any advice regarding brands? | 08:45 |
| denis123 | Fizix: I also installed xorg edgers which needed a newer kernel. So I can't boot into Ubuntu unless i have newer kernel | 08:45 |
| netman1 | robbit10: you can choose between quality, price and speed, as usual. I go for quality, eg. IBM/HP/Toshiba. | 08:46 |
| Fizix | robbit10, if it's any help, when I bought my Gateway C-140X tablet when they were just coming out and it works peachy. | 08:46 |
| darolu | robbit10: Dell work fine with both OS's that's what I have, I've set up Toshibas and HPs too, not problems at all; now if you want to be extra safe, buy System76 | 08:47 |
| robbit10 | netman1: It has to be under 500 euros. I will use it for recording guitar tracks, recording video, editing that video, playing light games (because i have a playstation 3, i don't need heavy games.), and other than that the standard web browsing+listening music+insant messaging+general use of the internet. | 08:47 |
| Fizix | robbit10, it might also be worth considering some desktops and laptops that already come with Ubuntu as an option like some Dells; this way you're pretty sure things should work nicely. | 08:47 |
| Fizix | Greetings! I have an issue where my internet connectivity is rendered useless when I VNC into my netbook running UNR. As soon as I disconnect from the ethernet connection I use to VNC into it, I regain internet access. Any ideas? And yes, I manually set up the IP addresses. | 08:47 |
| robbit10 | darolu: Dell, Toshiba, and HP eh? okay, thanks :) | 08:48 |
| darolu | robbit10: yes, I have tested those brands, and found no problems at all. Check System76, they come with Ubuntu by default and are cheap. | 08:48 |
| mneptok | robbit10: brands are less important than components. i'd rather have a Dave's Inexpensive Laptop with Intel wireless and graphics than a gold-plated Thinkpad with Broadcom wireless and nVidia graphics. | 08:48 |
| joshyg6__ | hi, why do i keep getting disconnected from the irc chat?? | 08:49 |
| * mneptok notes that robbit10 is in the Netherlands and Sys76 does not provide warrantee support outside the US | 08:49 | |
| joshyg6__ | Robbit, any big brand works well usually.. I recommend the HP's on Newegg.. Great price. | 08:50 |
| darolu | mneptok: oh I didn't read the part where he said he was dutch, sry; ok nvm sys76 rob | 08:50 |
| * mneptok again notes that robbit10 is in the Netherlands and newegg.nl does not seem to exist :) | 08:51 | |
| darolu | jeez... 30 mins in msn and I'm alrady typing sry and nvm?? | 08:51 |
| mneptok | darolu: srsly. | 08:51 |

| denis123 | Dr_Willis: which packages in particular? I need a 2.6.32 kernel | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | MWTC_King: flip a coin. they can all do that | 08:55 |
| iceroot | MWTC_King: this is ubuntu-support not windows support, also because of your (sudo rm ...) there is no support (from me) | 08:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Chromium will no longer allow me to get to Google's main search page, I'm redirected to iGoogle instead. Using Firefox this does not happen. I asked in #chromium-support first, but got no reply. | 08:55 |

| Fizix | robbit10, the webcam bit shouldn't be too bad as normally they are lo-res, but if you're editing high-res video, I know you would want some serious processing power and memory to compile it without fear of advancing in age too much. | 08:58 |

| ZykoticK9 | darolu, do you happen to use iGoogle at all? | 08:58 |
| nagchampa | so when x starts it sees the right one? | 08:58 |
| nagchampa | where is the default 96dpi set? | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | nagchampa: no idea. ive never had to tweak that. There proberly is | 08:58 |
| darolu | Zykotick9: I'm running 5.0.323.0 (38568) Ubuntu; maybe if you clicked the igoogle link once (if you were logged in) it sets that way anywhere | 08:59 |
| Fizix | robbit10, if you can afford it, I'd say get the cheapest Dell with a Intel Core i3 and load up on the optional RAM. | 08:59 |
| riderel | i have installed oidentd on my ubuntu 9.10 and when i connect to irc i still got the *No ident response* ... ? can anybody give me some hints to fix this ? | 08:59 |
| darolu | Zykotick9: I used it for a while ~2 weeks, can be useful | 08:59 |
| robbit10 | Fizix: It has to be near 300 euros (not 500, sorry, i just asked my dad for the budget limit) | 08:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | darolu, i'm guessing this is a cookie or something, as I have tried logging out of iGoogle with no change... | 08:59 |

| Dr_Willis | there is the #mythbuntu channel | 09:06 |
| nagchampa | Dr_Willis: seeing as it's not a resolution problem, but a calculated screen size problem, i don't think that helps really | 09:06 |
| rileyp | yeah no one answers there.... | 09:06 |

| nagchampa | it shoudl calculate it from the screen size | 09:11 |
| nagchampa | so if xorg isn't falling back to its defautl of 75dpi | 09:12 |
| nagchampa | ubuntu must have it set somewhere | 09:12 |

| Fizix | Guest66911, I went to User & Groups, modified what the user is allowed to do (video) off and on to no avail. Seveas, where would I find the name of this video driver? I'm afraid I'm not too proficient in command-line although I'd very much like to be. | 09:38 |
| Satoru-san | I would help here, but I spend all my time helping on gentoo forums and ubuntuforums, and gentoo IRC >_< | 09:38 |
| Seveas | Fizix, in the commandline, type this: lsmod | grep v4l | 09:39 |
| Seveas | Fizix, in the output, the first item is a drivername. run this: modprobe -r drivername_here; modprobe drivername_here | 09:39 |
| Seveas | do that for everything with v4l in it | 09:39 |
| Seveas | that will reload the v4l (= video4linux = webcam) drivers | 09:39 |
| cesc | Hello. I want to post the list of things one has to do after installing Ubuntu 9.10 on an ASUS EEE 1101 HA so that nobody else needs to waste 2 days. What section of Ubuntuforums is the right place to post such info? | 09:40 |
| TCD | Hmm. Just looking at the wiki, is unetbootin any good? | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | TCD: it works very well | 09:41 |
| darolu | cesc: General help or Installation sounds logical to me. | 09:41 |
| Seveas | cesc, a wikipage would be nicer, that way people who don't use forums can find it too :) | 09:41 |

| Condoulo | Is there any reason as to why I am not getting any audio from Amarok? | 09:41 |
| Fizix | Seveas, the only one that came up was: v4l1_compat 14496 2 uvcvideo,videodev | so modprob -r v4l1_compat and so forth? | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Condoulo, probably you have a terrible taste in music and amarok shields you from yourself ;) | 09:42 |
| Lusule | hi there :) does anyone know why, when I boot up, I don't have sound until I do sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload ? | 09:42 |
| cesc | darolu, Seveas: I have a google page. Would it make sense to post the info there and then post a link in the Ubuntu forums? I've never posted anything and I'm not sure what the correct procedure is so that nobody gets pissed off :) | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Fizix, slightly more complicated in this case | 09:42 |
| Viper1432 | lmao Seveas , its not THAT good a player. heh heh | 09:42 |
| Condoulo | >.< | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Fizix, modprobe -r uvcvideo videodev v4l1_compat; then modprobe them all again | 09:43 |
| darolu | cesc: I would post the tutorial directly in the forums, but a link is all right too; now what Seveas said is true, a wikipage would be really neat. | 09:43 |
| cesc | darolu, Seveas: ah, you mean the ubuntu wiki! sure, that's the reasonable place. Thx! | 09:44 |
| ardchoille | I agree with Seveas , and the wiki syntax is easy to learn | 09:44 |

| Xaero252 | So, I'm here regarding a security issue, are there any KNOWN current security holes in 9.10 that would allow a user to remotely control my machine? | 09:48 |

| * Chinta grins | 09:49 | |
| darolu | lol | 09:49 |
| Seveas | if you found one, please contact security@ubuntu.com | 09:49 |
| Fizix | Seveas, lol, that's what I thought. Thanks for teaching me about this modprob deal; I'm sure it'll come in handy not before too long what with how much I like to tinker. | 09:49 |
| Xaero252 | Interesting, seveas: are you sure because I just had someone remotely controlling my desktop and rdesktop is completely disabled, not even installed | 09:49 |
| Xaero252 | just now, I banned their entire IP range etc | 09:50 |
| Chinta | Well, you are mistaken, there IS such a free lunch. VoIP is a software that can be run on Windows which allows you to call to fixed net for free. | 09:50 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, intriguing. Could you pastebin the output of: sudo netstat -ltnup | 09:50 |
| Xaero252 | they weren't able to do anything since I'm not logged in as superuser. | 09:50 |
| Seveas | they could still destroy your files, which is worse than killing /usr/bin imho | 09:51 |

| Xaero252 | ty seveas | 09:56 |
| Seveas | ends up in /var/log/messages | 09:56 |
| Seveas | but will have some false positives | 09:57 |
| ZiG|ZaG | Xaero252 the issue has been resolved, i was concerned with some errors when restarting apache server | 09:57 |
| Lusule | hi there :) can anyone shed any light on why sound won't work on startup until I do sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload ? | 09:57 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: could I potentially lose control over USB peripherals and have sporatic input due to low voltage on the USB? | 09:57 |
| Seveas | also, the rule needs to be reapplied after reboot :) | 09:57 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, doesn't sound unreasonable | 09:57 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: know where I might find voltage probes for usb in /sys? | 09:58 |
| Seveas | no | 09:58 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: cool, thanks I'll poke around, I'm doing a DD of two USB hard disks on a laptop now and that may be the case, although completely loss of control of both keyboard and mouse as well as somewhat reasonable and accurate mouseclicks seems too good for it to be sporratic behavior | 09:59 |
| ZiG|ZaG | Xaero252 i'm not sure where you got that from lol | 09:59 |
| Xaero252 | ZiG|ZaG: Rumormill about ZiGZaG Being KaW/Smiley from the In The Groove franchise ;) | 09:59 |
| ZiG|ZaG | ah | 09:59 |
| Xaero252 | Fairly certain they are indeed one and the same due to Incognito/Indulgence/Pandemonium (ZigZag songs) being on KaW's website ;) | 10:00 |
| ZiG|ZaG | unaware of the artist, his works do sound familiar | 10:01 |
| ZiG|ZaG | also the name | 10:01 |
| ZiG|ZaG | not me :p | 10:02 |
| Xaero252 | :D | 10:02 |
| Xaero252 | Also, anybody know what I could do about getting a project added to the repositories? | 10:03 |
| ardchoille | Xaero252: iirc, you'd need to contact MOTU, try #ubuntu-motu | 10:03 |
| Seveas | !motu | Xaero252 | 10:03 |
| ubottu | Xaero252: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU | 10:03 |
| Xaero252 | ardchoille: thanks, I'll check it out | 10:03 |
| ardchoille | Xaero252: also see what ubottu just posted | 10:04 |
| alabd | hello ,If we want write 2 lines about what a user should has done to use Gnu/Linux before first distributions , what can we write (it's required for a book that humble will write)? | 10:04 |
| Xaero252 | alabd: not sure what your asking, like experience you should have before diving into the gnu/linux world? | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | learn how to learn, and learn that thers always more to learn :) | 10:08 |
| alabd | Xaero252: no , humble mean before first distributions gnu/linux at 1991 | 10:08 |
| DaZ | learn not to lick metal poles during winter. | 10:09 |
| Seveas | :) | 10:09 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: what could be causing this, I have my dd process being monitored by a watch -t 10 sudo pkill -USR1 ^dd$ init: rsyslog-kmsg main process (30147) killed by USR1 signal | 10:10 |
| badbandit | hey if I upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 10:11 |
| badbandit | could I run into problems? | 10:11 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, pkill dd will kill a random dd. rsyslog-kmsh uses a dd to log kernel messgaes, you just killed it. | 10:11 |
| badbandit | aka should i backup my whole laptop | 10:12 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: but -USR1 to DD means "report progress and continue" iirc? | 10:12 |
| alabd | Xaero252: f we want write 2 lines about what a user should has done to use Gnu/Linux before first distributions of gnu/linux at 1991 (first days) , what can we write (it's required for a book that humble will write)? for example he should knew about libs and proper gnu executables to boot and run OS himself and what other did he require to know | 10:12 |
| soreau | badbandit: There are always a potential for unforeseen circumstances and backups are never a bad idea | 10:12 |
| Blindsite | hello can someone help me get ubuntu to detect my sansa fuze mp3 player | 10:13 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, that's not documented behavior | 10:13 |
| Xaero252 | alabd: Oh jesus, he would have been required to know a lot before distributions came about... | 10:13 |
| Seveas | alabd, this channel is for ubuntu support, please take offtopic talk elsewhere | 10:13 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: the only way I have been able to do that is use rythmbox to tranfer the mp3 files | 10:13 |
| Bacta | Hai! | 10:13 |
| Bacta | Bacta's the name, trollin's the game! | 10:13 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, scratch that, it is.... | 10:13 |
| Blindsite | RB doesn't even see it | 10:13 |
| Blindsite | how'd you get RB to detect it | 10:14 |
| Blindsite | I've got it on MSC mode but its stll not showing up | 10:14 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: open rb, I'll walk you trhough the plugins | 10:14 |
| Blindsite | k | 10:14 |
| Blindsite | gimme a sec | 10:14 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: should I just not use USR1 to monitor my other dd process? I know it can be done with pv but pv is being really buggy atm with 9.10 (its not displaying progress unless I use ^C to break the command mid execution) | 10:15 |
| Blindsite | kay | 10:15 |
| Blindsite | RB is open and the sansa is plugged in | 10:15 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: unplug your fuze, then go to rb and click Edit > Plugins | 10:15 |
| Blindsite | now what | 10:15 |
| Blindsite | oh ok | 10:15 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, The dd you killed was started from initramfs. It is thus a busbox dd which does not understand USR1 | 10:15 |
| Blindsite | kay I'm at the plugins menu | 10:16 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: make sure both plugins for "portable players" are checked and close the plugins window | 10:16 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, yes you can monitor your dd, but use kill -USR <pid here> to make sure you have the correct dd in your sights | 10:16 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: Ah, that makes entirely too much sense, I'll just use dd if=* of=* & pid=$! && kill -USR1 $pid then from now on :D | 10:17 |
| Blindsite | kay | 10:17 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: now plug in your fuze player and it should be recognized in the left pane of rb, click on it and you should be able to drag and drop mp3's in there now | 10:17 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, :) | 10:17 |
| Blindsite | nope its not showig up | 10:19 |
| === adam is now known as Guest53743 | ||
| ardchoille | Blindsite: have you set your fuze player to the required mode? in Settings on the fuze player there is a certain mode you need to use | 10:19 |

| The_ManU_212 | hi | 10:21 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: hmm.. worked great here | 10:21 |
| Xaero252 | seveas: any reason rsyslogd would be eating 100% of 1 core? | 10:21 |
| Blindsite | what mode do you have yours on? | 10:22 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, I think because you just killed it's dd and now it's confused | 10:22 |
| The_ManU_212 | i have a netbook, the batterie is empty after 2 hours and the fan turns the whole time after 25 minutes if the netbook was cold, otherwise it spins the whole time | 10:22 |
| The_ManU_212 | can u help me? | 10:22 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: perhaps the menu item Music > Scan removable media ? | 10:22 |
| Xaero252 | seveas: any downside if I kill it? | 10:22 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: I don't have my fuze with me | 10:22 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, that or the iptables line I gave you is somehow broken in your situation and it is logging an awful lot :) | 10:22 |
| The_ManU_212 | i have powertop installed biut it doesnt help | 10:22 |
| Seveas | Xaero252, you'll lose logging | 10:22 |
| Xaero252 | seveas: any way to check that iptables line? | 10:23 |

| Guest53743 | thanks for the help | 10:23 |
| ardchoille | Guest53743 :) | 10:23 |
| Blindsite | nope | 10:24 |
| Blindsite | scanned on both modes | 10:24 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: Sorry, that works here, I've no more advice :( | 10:24 |
| Xaero252 | seveas: nothing over .5mb | 10:24 |
| Seveas | that's fine then | 10:25 |
| Blindsite | i was reading on one of the forums about having to force load it or something | 10:25 |
| Seveas | you might need to reboot | 10:25 |
| Seveas | not sure what effects killing that dd process has | 10:25 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: I'd really not like to do that In the middle of my DD lawl :D | 10:25 |
| Seveas | you've at least lost all kernel logging now, which to me is already a good reason to reboot :) | 10:26 |
| ardchoille | Blindsite: on a positive note, if you put an sd card in the fuze, it should show up as a mass storage device | 10:26 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: it kept trying to restart it, until I stopped my watch | 10:26 |
| Seveas | heh, ok. Kill syslog and reboot when dd is done :) | 10:26 |
| Xaero252 | at which point it restarted | 10:26 |

| migis | hello, anyone? | 10:35 |
| Blindsite | hello migis | 10:35 |
| alexxio | hi | 10:37 |
| Blindsite | hi | 10:37 |
| alexxio | i installed ubuntu on my laptop, the it started | 10:37 |
| alexxio | *then | 10:37 |
| alexxio | but after that it downloaed some proprietary driver and now it doesnt boot | 10:37 |
| Blindsite | oh and i have another completely dif problem. I installed Ubuntu on my desktop | 10:38 |
| alexxio | just after the grub screen, after a while, i get a black screen, then i can reboot with ctrl alt canc | 10:38 |
| Blindsite | but it doesn't see my router via my ethernet cord | 10:38 |
| TCD | Hey everyone. I got ubuntu running, it's awesome. | 10:38 |
| edeca | Blindsite: What do you mean "doesn't see" | 10:38 |
| Blindsite | it doesn't detect the router, and subsequent internet connection | 10:39 |
| alexxio | blindsite, do you know what ip you have now? | 10:39 |
| Blindsite | I'm on DHCP | 10:39 |
| Blindsite | i know the ip of the router but thats about it | 10:39 |
| edeca | Blindsite: Check the output of ifconfig (or ip addr) and the contents of /etc/networking/interfaces | 10:39 |
| edeca | Er, /etc/network/interfaces | 10:40 |
| alexxio | blindsite: open a terminal and copy/paste your sudo ifconfig -a | 10:40 |
| alexxio | now, for my problem, i told kernel to run into runlevel 3 putting 3 on the grub command line, but the error is the same, black screen, can you please tell me what can i do? | 10:41 |
| Blindsite | kay I've been doing some reinstalls on that desktop so just hold on. I'll boot off the live cd for now | 10:41 |
| wgrant | Blindsite: Why are you playing with runlevels? You probably don't want to. | 10:42 |
| wgrant | alexxio: ^^ | 10:43 |
| wgrant | Blindsite: Sorry, misread. | 10:43 |
| alexxio | ;) | 10:43 |
| Blindsite | ok while the desktop is booting up | 10:43 |
| Rotwang | im looking for xscreensaver without pam support | 10:43 |
| Rotwang | so maybe someone has a package? | 10:43 |
| WierdAAR | Hello, is there an easy way to get all the dependencies for a package other then ./configure and then find what's missing? (That is for packages not in synaptic) | 10:44 |
| alexxio | wgrant: i get a black screen on booting, i don't know what else to do , i don't want to install again | 10:44 |
| Blindsite | i'd just like to comment: whenever I use -help with most of the terminal commands half the time it just lists them but doesn't explain their various functions | 10:44 |
| wgrant | alexxio: Adding 'text' to the kernel commandline will inhibit X from starting. | 10:44 |
| wgrant | alexxio: If that still isn't enough, add 'single' and you will be dumped into a root shell early on in the boot. | 10:45 |
| LinuxPhreak | I'm making an Ubuntu remix with remastersys but I can't find the Ubiquity icon to change it. Can someone tell the directory? | 10:45 |
| alexxio | wgrant: mmmh..thanks .. | 10:45 |
| alexxio | wgrant: but after i get on a shell, is there a way to see which drivers it installed (maybe in /var/log/messages?) and how to uninstall them? | 10:46 |
| wgrant | alexxio: What sort of driver? | 10:46 |
| alexxio | actually i remember 3 proprietary driver it was installing, one of which is about ati drivers | 10:47 |
| frodoleggins | alexxio: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace, in device section, ati with vesa | 10:48 |
| wgrant | frodoleggins: By 'ati' you mean 'fglrx'? | 10:48 |
| Blindsite | holy shit.... I just booted up ubuntu and somehow its detected my router this time | 10:48 |
| Blindsite | i have no idea how | 10:48 |
| frodoleggins | alexxio: by ati, I mean ati | 10:48 |
| wgrant | 'ati' is not proprietary. | 10:48 |
| Blindsite | but i've got internet... | 10:48 |
| WierdAAR | Hello, is there an easy way to get all the dependencies for a package other then ./configure and then find what's missing? (That is for packages not in synaptic) | 10:49 |
| Blindsite | imma install ubuntu on the harddrive there and see if it sticks | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | WierdAAR: sudo apt-get build-dep package | 10:49 |
| frodoleggins | wgrant: the name of driver used, I have not an ati, but he have to set driver to vesa, so he can run into X | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | WierdAAR: you have to enable src sources in System>Admin...>Software Sources | 10:49 |
| Lantizia | erUSUL, he said it wasn't in synaptic | 10:49 |
| frodoleggins | and then try to fix all not from shell | 10:50 |
| erUSUL | Lantizia: right you are ;) | 10:50 |
| wgrant | frodoleggins: Yes, but he said he installed the proprietary ATI driver, which is 'fglrx', not 'ati'. | 10:50 |
| marienz | WierdAAR: if it's not packaged yet you'll have to dig into the source package. If you are packaging I'm a fan of sbuild-lvm and the like, which build in a clean chroot (which means any deps you missed cause the build to fail) | 10:50 |
| Lantizia | WierdAAR, if it's not in synaptic... no afraid not - hopefully the developer will list dev packages needd | 10:50 |
| LinuxPhreak | does anyone know where the Ubuiquity Icon is stored. I checked /usr/share/icons/ | 10:50 |
| frodoleggins | ok, tell him to replace fglrx to vesa | 10:50 |
| LinuxPhreak | but I don't know what directory inside ofr their it is | 10:51 |

| chrisboom | hey, installed 9.10 server | 11:08 |
| chrisboom | cant see the network | 11:08 |
| chrisboom | last time i installed on same machine no problems | 11:08 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: very odd, because this stuff is pretty deliberate, changing desktops in compiz, closing terminals, bringing up information and settings panes, etc | 11:08 |
| chrisboom | this time in the installation it cant pickup the ethernet | 11:08 |
| Seveas | motaka2, comme celui-ci | 11:08 |

| satz | have any one tryed using etherboot on ubunutu 9.10 | 11:09 |
| Seveas | motaka2, I use the right alt key for that. system -> preferences -> keyboard. To type accents I now do <alt> followd by e and ' é | 11:10 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: Theres also nobody else attached to my network O.o so unless hes changed his Mac Adress to match mine (which can only be done on a handful of G cards to begin with).... | 11:10 |
| Seveas | motaka2, you can also do 'dead keys', then you don't need the alt but need to type ' followed by <space> to get a single ' | 11:10 |
| Xaero252 | Seveas: I'll just treat it as a ghost for now, until I see something deliberate and malicious, hopefully its just some strange quirk that goes away lololol | 11:10 |

| pelandrit | hello folks, i'm trying to install an "alternate" version from usb stick, i tried it folowing instructions from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick but when i boot from usb stick instead of the boot menu i only get a "boot:" prompt, what must i write in that promp? os must i try other way to boot? | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: theres also the grub 'root' option to tell it where / starts | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: i would say your syslinux.cfg on the stick is wrong/bad/ | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | but why is it using grub and not syslinux.. Hmmm | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: how did you make that flash drive? | 12:19 |
| bazhang | Blindsite, odd that you have eth0 and eth1; does sudo dhclient eth1 give any returns/leases? | 12:20 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: i tried it with usb-creator and also with unetbootin from the cd iso, both with the same resutl | 12:20 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, still no luck, hours of googling now lol | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: you could also set uop grub2 to boot the iso file as a 3rd way | 12:21 |
| Blindsite | didn't check. right now im booting into the live cd to see if i can get my net back there | 12:21 |
| Blindsite | might be able to copy the settings or something | 12:21 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, the best i got with pulseaudio over the network was, the PC could control laptop(working backwards) but no sound from PC speakers | 12:21 |
| onaogh | hyperstream, wats up | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: ages ago i had a issue wuth unetbootin where it dident properly install the bootloader. i had to zero the flash drive with dd and reformat it.. then it worked right | 12:21 |
| hyperstream | onaogh, pulseaudio drama's | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | hyperstream: heh . I had no issues. but i was wired | 12:22 |
| bazhang | Blindsite, were you hotplugging the ethernet cable? ie after your system had already started uo | 12:22 |
| hyperstream | onaogh, last several hours, been googling since this morning. | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | hyperstream: proberly One chekcbox to mess with | 12:22 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, i tried every setting combination you could imagen | 12:22 |
| hyperstream | Dr_Willis, both machines are wired now :) | 12:22 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: i dit it, even changed the partition table and deleted the partition | 12:22 |

| Blindsite | same problems in the live cd now | 12:23 |
| Blindsite | this is very confusing | 12:24 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: you say something about syslinux.cfg, i can see that file if i mount the stick in a running system, can i fix the text of the file to solve the problem? | 12:24 |

| mikeconcepts | what is postfix, update asking me to select mail server, I just use thunderbird mail from cable company | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: but you said its udsing grub: that dosent make sence, syslinux is an alternatiove bootloader to grub, | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: the 2 do not shre the same config files or syntax | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: it sounds like somehow grub stayed on the hd and syslinux never got installed | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis | never installed to the MBR that is, | 12:25 |
| jimcooncat | so how to restart X now that ctrl-alt-backspace has been disabled? | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !dontzap | jimcooncat | 12:26 |
| Blindsite | i just used the dhclient on eth1, its not working either | 12:26 |

| Gangrel | anyone can tell me why when i use sudo apt-get update after some rep updates i get stack on 99% ? | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jimcooncat: sudo service gdm restart is one way | 12:26 |
| mmm | Mike-Martin-Mielke | 12:27 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: well, i think the syslinux is installed on the stick because the first line when i boot is "SYSLINUX 3.5.3 ....." | 12:27 |
| Blindsite | baz u there | 12:27 |
| Tek-5-8-6 | Was reading up on the ext4 file system, Currently is there still an issue with Delayed allocation and data loss ? | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: then you are ysunbg syslinux, not grub. i am not sure of the proper syslinux command line commands | 12:27 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: and after that appears the "boot:" prompt | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: but the 2 are very different | 12:27 |
| bazhang | Blindsite, this is on the livecd? and sudo dhclient eth0 fails on the live cd as well? what does lspci say about that ethernet | 12:27 |
| korenbloem | aaa | 12:28 |
| Blindsite | ok im going to dhclient eth0 again, and whats lspci? | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: it could be looking for the wrong syslinux.cfg file | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: check the drive for other ones and see if theres a wrong/differnt one in some other location | 12:29 |
| bazhang | Blindsite, it will tell us the card (eg realtek, or other) | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: iver had unetbootin make wrong syslinux cfg files befor | 12:29 |
| Blindsite | whats the syntax | 12:29 |
| Blindsite | i'll run it after dhclient is done | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: as an alternative theres an nother usb disk maker tool (for windows) called linuxloader that can make a flash drive as well - it mnay be a little smarter. (or not) | 12:30 |
| bazhang | Blindsite, try sudo dhclient eth0 first, then lspci and tell us the ethernet card | 12:30 |
| pelandrit | Dr_Willis: i think the problem is i'm using an alternate version | 12:30 |
| jimcooncat_ | thanks Dr_Willis , ctrl-alt-backspace did the trick now | 12:30 |
| Blindsite | no leases for eth0 either | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: i Think ive done a usb install with the alt versiuon. The Server version i think does not work with usb flash installs | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pelandrit: with grub2 i set up to boot iso files for 4 differnt ubuntus from a single flash drive. :) | 12:31 |

| Blindsite1 | no all it has is the lo info | 13:30 |
| Xaero252 | jrib: furythor agreed, "stats" is too vague, disk usage, cpu usage, temperature?? | 13:30 |

| Xaero252 | Blindsite1: add auto eth0 iface (new line) eth0 inet dhcp to the bottom of that file (sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces), save the file and then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 13:31 |

| ThA-LaN-LaW | how can i extend the lvm partition on /dev/sda to the new size | 13:34 |
| furythor | Xaero252: Check firefox addons, I think Download helper atleast can do that, but also youtube actively tries to prevent videos being downloaded | 13:34 |
| bazhang | rabbi1, please clarify: same problem = not installed, you killed it mid-process? how long did you allow for it find new mirrors | 13:35 |
| Xaero252 | fury, jiohdi I was informing someone not asking but thanks :D | 13:35 |

| rabbi1 | bazhang: u there? | 13:37 |
| rabbi1 | just tell me at once now wht i have to do? | 13:37 |
| bazhang | rabbi1, well, when you are not in a hurry, you will need to let the installer find new mirrors, not kill the process, let it finish configuring the packages it did download, etc | 13:38 |
| rabbi1 | will remove extra package, will restart and then again will install, then restart and c. shall i? | 13:38 |
| catzz | Hello please advice good program for CD burn | 13:38 |
| Xaero252 | Migi32: sorry, I misread what you wanted, you want to record your midi keyboard into say, a .midi or .mp3? | 13:38 |
| bazhang | rabbi1, that wont help as you keep killing it mid-process before it has configured the packages. | 13:38 |
| Migi32 | Xaero252, no, midi -> printable music sheet. The google results were about viewing existing music sheets or sheet -> midi | 13:39 |

| Troggie | Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me. Here goes. I just upgraded my Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10 , the server is using hardware RAID 1. I get dropped to Busybox but when I type "a) fsck -a b) mount -a c_ CTRL + D" the server boots with GRUB 2. What can I do to recitfy this ?? | 13:55 |
| Xaero252 | archboxman: they have the nvidia-xconfig util, but I'm not certain if I remember running it breaking things or not running it breaking things >< at any rate you can always just re-run the install or backup xorg.conf | 13:55 |
| marcuy | Troggie, 9.10 comes with Grub2 | 13:55 |
| marcuy | try to uninstall it and install grub 1 | 13:56 |
| SwedeMike | marcuy: it doesn't go grub2 when doing an upgrade, normally (hasn't for me anyway) | 13:56 |
| twinforce | funcqshun: I believe that would be a hardware issue causing it to logout. I don't know for sure what it would be, but I would try reinstalling Ubuntu and see if that helps. But I am leaning towards there being a hardware issue | 13:56 |
| marcuy | that's right SwedeMike, but seems that he has upgraded it anyway | 13:56 |
| Xaero252 | Blindsite1: I'd say keep poking your head out, maybe some networking guru will stick his head out >< | 13:56 |
| archboxman | Xaero252: that is what the terminal is for to update the xorg.conf file and run the nvidia-xconfigure ... Theres no problem there | 13:56 |

| Threetimes | umang: you could download the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com | 14:03 |
| funqshun1 | twinforce: what do you suggest i do? | 14:03 |
| twinforce | twinforce: Does your laptop make any weird noises when writing to the hard drive? This could be a tell-tale sign that you damaged your hard drive | 14:03 |

| dsuch | umang: can you give me a real example? I'd like to try to figure it out, how to do it. | 14:08 |

| rabbi1 | bazhang: even now its same prob, nothing is working | 14:09 |

| Blindsite1 | and my internet is still dependant on the router | 14:09 |
| umang | dsuch: yes. | 14:09 |
| carbm2 | BluesKaj, I agree... but the power of doing it script wise is good... just hard to get used to. | 14:09 |

| autoclesis | hold on, let me get the exact name | 14:11 |
| ikonia | Troggie: I suspect that's the problem, when grub2's been installed and it recreates the menu.list it's pointed it at the meta device | 14:11 |

| umang | dsuch: pretty much the same thing, except, I was going to use it to fool around a little, so I didn't want the deps installed from bad repos. ;) Except, I don't understand whether those numbers are supposed to signify anything. (i.e. 700 and 600 could well have been 670 and 660, no?) | 14:22 |
| Troggie | ikonia: how would i role back? apt-get install grub? once that is done. how will it fix the problem? | 14:22 |
| umang | dsuch: Oh. I haven't tried that :P | 14:22 |
| dsuch | umang: yes, I suppose so | 14:22 |
| dsuch | umang: the numbers themselves are probably irrelevant, their relative values should matter | 14:23 |

| umang | dsuch, although I don't know all that much to know what each of them means, I guess I know enough now to get what I want. Technically, I can have debian unstable as one of my sources and tip a couple of packages to a repo and not a version (which what I though pinning was about till today). So that is nice. :) I think I've got what I was looking for. | 14:35 |

| sudobash | my cousins pc is a celeron m400 with 1GB ddr2 and I can install ubuntu but when gdm/X comes up It freezes after like 15 sec but I can get through text based installer and get to a terminal to update/upgrade and it wont freeze until I got to X | 14:35 |

| Blindsite1 | *high fives Xaero* When I'm done with the patchs and have downloaded pidgin on there i'll switch over | 14:41 |
| ikonia | Troggie: ok cool, lets try something else | 14:41 |
| ikonia | Troggie: how many disks are in your system in total ? | 14:41 |
| Troggie | ikonia: 2 x SCSI hard drives in RAID 1 | 14:41 |
| ikonia | Troggie: perfect, that should be easy | 14:41 |
| ikonia | Troggie: please do sudo grub | 14:41 |
| Troggie | ikonia: done | 14:42 |
| doddo | Heloo! !! just installed ubuntu seems as if DNS lookups are real slow, I dont have ipv6, so what's up with that? | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Troggie: is / the first partition on your disk ? | 14:42 |
| umang | doddo: OpenDNS? | 14:42 |
| Troggie | ikonia: all i get is grub> | 14:42 |

| doddo | umang: nope!! ISP provided DNS ! | 14:43 |
| Troggie | ikonia: so what must i type? | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Troggie: is your / partition the first partition on the disk | 14:43 |
| woden | How do you make a service automatically start in Ubuntu? | 14:43 |
| Troggie | ikonia: yes sda1 | 14:43 |
| umang | doddo, Try setting OpenDNS. My ISP provided that was really bad. | 14:43 |
| doddo | woden: I use chkconfig <service> on | 14:43 |
| Xaero252 | umang: opendns is starting to be blocked by companies though, its a shame | 14:43 |
| zai | question: when I am in my volume control, choose an USB webcam with mic as "Device", I see the little mic icon X-ed out. When I activate it, leave the floaer with "Close", then reopen it again, it's X-ed out again. Can't use it for Skype, although it worked once. Any idea what's going wrong? (Ubuntu 9.04) | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Troggie: perfect, so lets do this "root (hd0,0)" | 14:43 |

| Linus | como entro em uma sala portugues? | 14:44 |
| doddo | umang: hmm I would only that when dual booting to my arch installation, queying the same DNS is much faster so this seems to be something in ubuntu ratherthan my DNS | 14:44 |
| woden | jrib: How do I know if it is started? | 14:44 |
| Xaero252 | umang: hulu actively blocks opendns, all sorts of websites are picking up on it... | 14:44 |

| jrib | woden: ps? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | Troggie: quit and reboot, make a note of any warnings or errors on boot | 14:45 |
| Troggie | ok | 14:45 |
| Xaero252 | doddo: I'd still try openDNS, its really fast, and their dns servers are pretty intelligent when you make typos | 14:45 |

| ikonia | Troggie: the problem is the meta device for your raid1 partition is not created before the OS boots, there are two options / reasons for this 1.) the kenrel drivers for your raid card need to be dumped in your initrd 2.) change the uuid of the disks from the metadevice uuid to the uuid for /dev/sda1 in the grub menu.list, that will get grub working and you'll still be working off your raid1 partition | 14:50 |

| timmarshall | you may have the rare linux viruss | 15:54 |
| timmarshall | wait | 15:54 |
| macman_ | hi all .. so i'm on a dell studio 17 inch .. i got sound working without headphones from a post on google .. how do i post it so everyone can see it ? | 15:54 |
| timmarshall | do a viruss scan you can get the program of software centre | 15:55 |
| adifire | linux virus!!!?!?!?! | 15:56 |
| TheDodo | macman_: Post it where, exactly? In a forum, or a wiki or something? | 15:56 |
| adifire | is it true?? | 15:56 |
| clrg | Blindsite: DHCP addresses are requested by broadcast. A DHCP client doesn't have to know the IP of the DHCP server (your router) in order to get an IP. For god's sake, execute "sudo dhclient yourinterface" | 15:56 |
| timmarshall | yeah theres about 500 of them | 15:56 |
| timmarshall | but dont worry we are safe they carnt to much harm unless you dont have passwords or sudo's | 15:57 |

| clrg | KamaL: Iceroot is right. If you don't know how to properly administer an Ubuntu server, don't do it at all. | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | autoclesis, you can make a clean install on a partition formatted to ext4 | 16:02 |
| Avogadro | gyrfalcon: Even upon authenticating the app there is no change | 16:02 |
| KamaL | clrg: i just need a working gui | 16:02 |
| autoclesis | thanks kohar | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | autoclesis, still preserve windows on the fist partition | 16:02 |
| autoclesis | and live cd is the cd you get straight form ubuntu ? | 16:02 |
| Kohar | KamaL Could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com' did you have internet connection? try ping | 16:03 |
| Lee_ubun | EmilioTucci: You might have some issues when you update, so for the future backing up with probably be a good idea for you, when you make changes | 16:03 |

| abhi_nav | ?? | 16:43 |
| robertpolson | i need to run gparted from a live cd, which one do i download? | 16:43 |
| rabbi1 | yes, done | 16:43 |
| iba | i need it to create me a xorg.conf | 16:43 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: tried all that, tried fluendo also | 16:44 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: then? i mean have u installed all codecs, gstreamer, vlc etc? | 16:44 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: vlc will run 99% codecs | 16:44 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: installed gstreamer | 16:44 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: vlc ? | 16:44 |
| enkidu | argh, I forgot to call init, need to spawn more consoles... brb | 16:44 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: ok will check out | 16:44 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: install vlc | 16:44 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: sudo apt-get install vlc | 16:44 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: 30.6MB disk space required, am i in correct codecs ? | 16:45 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: libdvbpsi4 libdvdnav4 libebml0 libiso9660-5 libmatroska0 libmodplug0c2 | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | libtar libvcdinfo0 libvlc0 libwxbase2.6-0 libwxgtk2.6-0 libxosd2 vlc-nox | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | vlc-plugin-pulse | 16:46 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: yeah | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: thx | 16:46 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: ok. try it and tell me | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: i hope i don have to restart the system fot that | 16:47 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: no u dont | 16:47 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: whts the problem actually, y can't codecs loaded in advance and whts the use if the player can't read mp3 format | 16:47 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: no i am not that much intelligent. i am intermidiate user. But i found 'vlc' is the best solution | 16:48 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: 1 min. I come back in 1 min. u install it, try it and tell me | 16:49 |
| robertpolson | imo, vlc is the best media player no matter what system you're on | 16:49 |
| robertpolson | download it whenever you do a new install | 16:49 |
| `mOOse` | rabbi1, abhi_nav - um, why not just install the codecs from the restricted repo? | 16:49 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: and i dont know wht may go wrong with ur gstreamer installtion | 16:49 |
| rabbi1 | robertpolson: vlc hagged lot of time in WinXP | 16:49 |
| `mOOse` | VLC is great and everything, but it doesn't install the mp3 codecs for all the other players out there | 16:49 |
| robertpolson | well | 16:49 |
| abhi_nav | m00se: because he said he tried all those option already | 16:49 |
| `mOOse` | apparently not | 16:50 |
| abhi_nav | `m00se`: because he said he tried all those option already | 16:50 |
| rabbi1 | m00se: tried all that restricted repo didn't work | 16:50 |
| `mOOse` | since it's still not working ;-) | 16:50 |
| `mOOse` | rabbi1, did you install the ubuntu extras? | 16:50 |
| rabbi1 | moose: s i insalled it | 16:50 |
| abhi_nav | `m00se`: yah u r right. :) but then i thought vlc is one click solution | 16:50 |
| rabbi1 | i even tried fluendo | 16:51 |
| `mOOse` | then he's got another problem | 16:51 |
| aj_ | hey i forgot my password.. im logged in now though.. am i screwed? | 16:52 |
| `mOOse` | yes vlc will work indeed but if he installed the restricted non-free stuff and he's still got no joy...well.... | 16:52 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: after vlc can i remove extras permanently then reinstall from scratch and try ? | 16:52 |
| robertpolson | is there a mac channel on freenode? | 16:52 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: try it | 16:53 |
| robertpolson | nvm :) | 16:53 |
| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: whts this "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" | 16:53 |

| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: "music player" paused not responding :( | 16:54 |
| trijntje | how can I make an exact clone of dvd's in ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| robertpolson | trijntje: you might be able to use dd, but be very careful what you type in with that :) | 16:54 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: wait | 16:54 |
| pixelated | trijntje, dd will do it... | 16:54 |
| enkidu | so, re | 16:55 |
| kernel_j | Where is the best place to find information about getting my webcam to work? Didn't find much on forum... | 16:55 |
| rabbi1 | this rhythmbox is waste | 16:55 |
| `mOOse` | deferred processing means that the program can't finish installing until another processs is complete - akin to windows saying "reboot now" - except you don't usually need to reboot in linux | 16:55 |
| robertpolson | trijntje: be careful with dd, you can brick your computer with it easily if you don't know what you're doing | 16:55 |
| autoclesis | is there a bigger HCL than the one on the ubuntu wiki ? | 16:55 |
| agrualon | i cant get my wireless net to work :( | 16:56 |
| rabbi1 | mOOse: i need to reboot now ? | 16:56 |

| autoclesis | in question is a good phrase | 16:56 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: u thr? | 16:57 |
| jrib | autoclesis: I mean put the actual hardware you are curious about there. what is it by the way? | 16:57 |
| autoclesis | i'm not complaining, i'm choosing so i don't have to complain | 16:57 |
| trijntje | robertpolson, pixelated ill look into it, but I dont have two drives so that complicates things | 16:57 |
| autoclesis | i'm going to buy whatever ubuntu works best on | 16:57 |
| marcuy | anyone knows how to rename a usb pendrive? | 16:58 |
| pixelated | trijntje, you would dd to a iso file on your HD and then burn the iso to a disc | 16:58 |
| robertpolson | marcuy: right click, rename | 16:59 |
| abhi_nav | trijntje: in brasaro dic burner there is option of create copy of disk, there u insert disc1 make copy of it and immeditly after rmving disc1 insert disc2 | 16:59 |
| abhi_nav | trijntje: is this wht u r looking for? | 16:59 |
| disappearedng | happy chinese new year everyone | 16:59 |
| marcuy | thanks robertpolson for your answer, but I have already done that and this option is disabled | 16:59 |
| abhi_nav | marcuy: cannut u rename it from right clicking it? | 16:59 |

| rabbi1 | abhi_nav: no luck :( | 17:00 |
| rabbi1 | i got to take off everything i guess | 17:00 |
| autoclesis | does the brevity of the HCL mean, there are other systems that work fine, but no one has bothered to write a wiki entry? | 17:00 |
| abhi_nav | rabbil: wait | 17:00 |
| trijntje | pixelated, it looks like brasero can also clone dvd's, so i'm trying that first. thanks for your time | 17:00 |

| chrisdone | how do I stop the pulseaudio service? I am using Renoise which likes to use ALSA directly and pulseaudio is blocking it, except now I can't get pulseaudio to go away | 17:22 |
| xper | robertpolson, you may actually be on to something. | 17:22 |
| robertpolson | LOL | 17:23 |

| PeterT | jrib: Doesn't seem to work for me | 17:24 |
| chrisdone | robertpolson: I think pulseaudio locks the alsa service because it's greedy, and so does renoise. so I want to stop pulseaudio | 17:24 |

| BlitzHere | Hello, I'm trying to use Wubi to install Xubuntu. Problem is i have a pretty bad connection. I spent the last 12 hours (I've had a few weird errors - "access to file denied" and had to restart) downloading the xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent file, and now Wubi has restarted downloading xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso file which is gonna take another 10 hours...is this normal? | 17:27 |
| karel_ | good evening | 17:27 |
| djdarkman | chrisdone: it's not Linux, it's wise guys who make smart sound servers that don't work and people who quickly want to depend on it | 17:27 |
| Diana | robertpolson: thank anyway :D | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | Maaha: well I guess it's like installing a normal vm then, just the vm itself maybe won't work like it would on a net book in certain ways. This is something I want to do, but haven't done yet vm in virtualbox, netbook OS's such as UNR, on a normal desktop PC. | 17:28 |

| BluesKaj | !lamp | rabbi1 | 17:59 |
| ubottu | rabbi1: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 17:59 |
| MindVirus | Any advice? | 18:00 |
| BluesKaj | MindVirus, got pulseaudio installed? | 18:00 |
| MindVirus | BluesKaj: Yes. | 18:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Schuenemann, have a look at this page http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors choose a mirror and see if you can find the direct link | 18:01 |
| MindVirus | BluesKaj: And, yes, PulseAudio uses ~10% CPU. | 18:01 |
| brianherman | rabbi1: apt-get install apache2 | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | MindVirus, what kind of sound setup do use ? | 18:02 |
| Schuenemann | ZykoticK9, there isn't UNR there | 18:02 |
| brianherman | rabbi1: apt-get install mysql-server | 18:02 |

| brianherman | rabbi1: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies | 18:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Schuenemann, once you choose a mirror select 9.10 and you should see ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso. Schuenemann where are you from? What mirror would be appropriate? | 18:02 |
| mcurran | So nobody knows a command or bash script for sorting the desktop icons? It's not on the net anywhere that I can find either - Strange. Or maybe a terminal that would show verbose of any actions performed through gui's - So I could sort and watch what the actual command would be... | 18:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Schuenemann, sorry i pasted the wrong iso name -- netbook-remix | 18:03 |
| Schuenemann | ZykoticK9, brazil | 18:03 |

| BluesKaj | MindVirus, then you don't need pulseaudio , it's basically redundant ... alsa should suffice for laptops | 18:03 |

| Schuenemann | thanks | 18:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | Schuenemann, glad to help | 18:05 |
| mcurran | you could reinstall ubuntu-desktop afterwards, before you restart | 18:05 |
| MindVirus | BluesKaj: Removing pulseaudio removes ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook-remix. | 18:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | MindVirus, if you remove Pulse you won't have a volume control in your panel! | 18:06 |
| BluesKaj | MindVirus, that's odd , I was running gnome not long ago and purged PA without any other removals ...must be the netbook-remix | 18:06 |

| elgh_ | Is it possible to make a game play in Windows mode, and if so, how? | 18:20 |
| iceroot | elgh_: windows or window? | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | MindVirus, you remove it from /usr/bin | 18:20 |
| elgh_ | Windowed mode. | 18:20 |
| MindVirus | BluesKaj: ... | 18:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | elgh_, depends on the game - try alt+enter and see if that works | 18:20 |
| iceroot | elgh_: depening on the game | 18:20 |
| elgh_ | It's Elasto Mania. | 18:21 |
| mcurran | MindVirus: Look for a startup script in /etc/init.d - go to /etc/init.d and do ls | grep 'pulse' and then take note of the name - then do sudo update-rc.d <filename> remove | 18:21 |
| iceroot | mcurran: what about deinstalling? | 18:21 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: I know, I scrolled up. Thanks though. :) | 18:21 |
| elgh_ | I use Wine to play Diablo 2, and in that game I can enter resolution, but that doesn't work for Elasto Mania. | 18:21 |
| iceroot | mcurran: sorry wrong nick | 18:21 |
| mcurran | He doesn't want to remove it that way (iceroot) | 18:21 |
| tp43 | elgh_, most games you go into options and change it there | 18:21 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions | 18:21 |
| elgh_ | tp43, I know. But not with this game. | 18:21 |
| mcurran | sudo update-rc.d <filename> remove --force | 18:21 |
| tp43 | elgh_, which game is it? | 18:22 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: It is run as a user process. | 18:22 |
| elgh_ | tp43, Elasto Mania. | 18:23 |
| askhader | Does wpa_supplicant need to be running as a daemon in order to start wpa_cli ? | 18:23 |
| tp43 | elgh_, its a windows game? or is it from ubuntu repo? | 18:23 |
| elgh_ | It's a Windows game. | 18:24 |
| iceroot | elgh_: using wine? | 18:24 |
| elgh_ | Yes, Iceroot. | 18:24 |
| iceroot | elgh_: winecfg, there you have to create a virtual desktop | 18:24 |
| iceroot | elgh_: then you have window-mode for all wine-applications | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, yes , i beleive so | 18:24 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | Good afternoon, I wanted to update Firefox from 3.0.17 to 3.5, is this not possible b/c it's not in repos? | 18:24 |
| iceroot | purpzey-is-a-guy: jaunty? | 18:25 |
| mcurran | MindVirus - Did you try "sudo update-rc.d <filename> remove --force" | 18:25 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | iceroot: Yeah. | 18:25 |
| iceroot | purpzey-is-a-guy: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 18:25 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: You may not understand what I'm saying. | 18:25 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: First of all, yes, I did. | 18:25 |
| iceroot | purpzey-is-a-guy: in the jaunty repos there is 3.0 and 3.5 | 18:25 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | iceroot: Do I need to remove the old one first or will it just upgrade? | 18:25 |
| ng0n | .. | 18:25 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: How do I "start" wpa_supplicant? When I issue a wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and then start wpa_cli it says that is unable to connect to wpa_supplicant | 18:25 |
| renegaid | looks like none of the video players can play wmv hd | 18:25 |
| iceroot | purpzey-is-a-guy: but dont be scared, firefox 3.5 is not called firefox there, its shiretoko | 18:25 |
| iceroot | purpzey-is-a-guy: no, you can use both | 18:26 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: But if you remove it from the rc list, that changes nothing. | 18:26 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: It is run as a USER process. | 18:26 |
| elgh_ | iceroot, gonna test soon. | 18:26 |
| `mOOse` | purpzey-is-a-guy, 3.5.7 would be on the kharmic install cd as well | 18:26 |

| MindVirus | mcurran: When I try to killall -s9 pulseaudio, another pulseaudio process opens. | 18:26 |
| mcurran | I don't care what process it is - I'm just telling you how to remove it, because that's what you asked for - You don't want to remove it correctly through apt, so I told you how to disable startup scripts, that's all I got for ya - You can decide to use my advice or not, but I suggest just removing it and the meta package if necessary. | 18:26 |
| iceroot | renegaid: vlc can | 18:26 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: You are telling me how to disable its SYSTEM STARTUP SCRIPTS which is NOT how its being run. | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, pastebin your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file | 18:27 |
| mcurran | MindVirus: It's probably your default sound - which will switch correctly if you uninstall it. | 18:27 |
| renegaid | it doesn't. plays video no audio. it says vlc does not support the audio or video format wmap. unfortunately there is no fix | 18:27 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: I want to uninstall it so bad. | 18:27 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: But I want to keep ubuntu-desktop so much more. | 18:27 |
| mcurran | MindVirus - Just do it, open synaptic and highlight the meta-package and it'll tell you what it holds in the summary - It's not much important. | 18:28 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio should not kill ubuntu-desktop | 18:28 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: That's what it holds right now. Dependencies change. | 18:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | MindVirus, you need to make a choice: either uninstall Pulse and loose ubuntu-desktop, OR leave Pulse and live with it... You can't have your cake and eat it too - sorta thing. Personally I'd just leave Pulse. | 18:28 |
| MindVirus | iceroot: It will REMOVE ubuntu-desktop. | 18:29 |
| mcurran | MindVirus - What is so goddamn good about the ubuntu desktop package - It's not your literal desktop... | 18:29 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: that is a metapackage | 18:29 |
| MindVirus | iceroot: Which depends on other packages. | 18:29 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: its not removing gnome or other stuff | 18:29 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.ca/index.php | 18:29 |
| MindVirus | iceroot: I know. | 18:29 |
| MindVirus | ZykoticK9: My preferred course of action is to leave pulseaudio on the system but have it NEVER running. | 18:30 |
| MindVirus | I don't know how to kill the damn parasite. | 18:30 |
| elgh_ | Thanks iceroot! | 18:30 |
| MindVirus | When I kill it, it starts up again. | 18:30 |
| `mOOse` | xfce!! xfce!!! | 18:30 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: I know. | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, it's empty | 18:30 |
| mcurran | MindVirus: That's because you should just remove the startup scripts and then restart | 18:30 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: Uh wooops one sec | 18:30 |
| iceroot | MindVirus: why not installing alsa, oss and alsa-oss and use that by default? | 18:30 |
| PingFloyd | MindVirus: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that pulls in all the rest of the dependencies to give you the loads of package for the ubuntu-desktop. Since pulse audio is a dependency, then you'd have to remove ubuntu-desktop and then install all the other related dependies explicitly. | 18:30 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: http://pastebin.ca/1796443 | 18:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | MindVirus, i don't think that's possible... There is NO easy way to disable Pulse Audio, it's rather tied into Gnome (which you can see by the ubuntu-destkop metapackage being removed if you try removing Pulse) | 18:31 |
| MindVirus | Oh my god. | 18:31 |
| MindVirus | PingFloyd: I understand that. | 18:31 |
| MindVirus | One second. I will restart like mcurran suggested. | 18:31 |
| PingFloyd | MindVirus: you could opt to create a metapackage with the dependencies you prefer | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, that link isn't working either | 18:32 |

| askhader | 've typed it correctly :p | 18:32 |

| Lusule | how do I get ubuntu to play UK-based dvd formats in VLC? I've followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/musicvideophotos/C/video-dvd.html but neither VLC nor movie player seem to be working | 18:34 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: Just like I said, your advice was not useful. | 18:34 |
| MindVirus | mcurran: Pulseaudio still runs. | 18:34 |
| MindVirus | I did exactly what you said. | 18:34 |
| MindVirus | And I can't kill it; it restarts. | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, ok got it ..try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 18:35 |
| gerrin | help, trying to play a dvd, and everytime i try to load one it says that i dont have permission to run/read disk | 18:35 |
| muhammad_ | hi all, | 18:35 |

| Tm_T | MindVirus: "pactl exit" ? | 18:36 |
| muhammad_ | Can anyone help me with the problem | 18:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | gerrin, have you install libdvdcss2 (libdvdread4 will install it in Karmic)? | 18:37 |
| gerrin | no i havent | 18:37 |
| MindVirus | Tm_T: It isn't killing it. | 18:37 |
| BluesKaj | gerrin, install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 | 18:37 |
| Tm_T | MindVirus: but stops it? | 18:37 |
| gerrin | ok thanks | 18:37 |
| ericjames | muhammad: have you tried preferences>screen saver? | 18:37 |
| MindVirus | Tm_T: It seems to do the same thing as killall pulseaudio. | 18:37 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: Well now even the ethernet card lost its connection :P | 18:37 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: And wpa_cli still cannot connect to wpa_Supplicant | 18:38 |
| richard123 | Hi, can anyone help me with gparted - getting a new partition inside an already created one for windows? please. | 18:38 |
| muhammad_ | yes i ahve set it to 1 hour but the problem persists. | 18:38 |
| === richard is now known as Guest26870 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | gerrin, libdvdcss2 is in the Medibuntu repo! BUT if you install libdvdread4 and run the script after install it will grab it for you | 18:38 |
| gerrin | where can i install libdvdcss2 from | 18:38 |
| MindVirus | richard123: That makes no sense. You can't put a partition into a partition. | 18:38 |
| MindVirus | gerrin: Medibuntu. | 18:38 |

| ericjames | anybody know how to enable the Nautilus behavior of opening each folder in a new window? | 18:39 |
| richard123 | ericjames: i can resize the parition, but because there are too many partitions on the drive already preinstalled, it wont let me make a new one? | 18:39 |
| MindVirus | Tm_T: So, any suggestions? | 18:39 |
| K1ng\ | hey i cant install devilspie... please help | 18:40 |
| Tm_T | MindVirus: no, sorry | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, ok run sudo dhclient eth0 , to reconnect your wired/ethernet | 18:40 |
| ericjames | richard123: i've never encountered that problem, sory. | 18:40 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: Yeah already did that. | 18:40 |
| MindVirus | Tm_T: There is seriously no way to kill pulseaudio? | 18:40 |
| ericjames | sorry* | 18:40 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: But the original problem remains. | 18:40 |
| abadr | How do I find out what version of a package I would get from the apt repository? | 18:40 |
| Tm_T | MindVirus: I don't know, I don't use it, nor have it running | 18:41 |
| iceroot | abadr: apt-cache show packagename | 18:41 |

| BluesKaj | askhader, what does wpa_cli have to do with wpa_supplicant? | 18:41 |
| richard123 | Hi, can anyone help me with gparted - getting a new partition inside an already created one for windows? please. - gparted wont let me make a new one because there are too many eisting partitions. | 18:41 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: you need to create logical partitions | 18:41 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: Uhh have you ever run wpa_cli before? | 18:41 |
| ghufran | when i do mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/directory it says No such file or directory .. even though sudo fdisk -l shows this path :S | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | i just run the commands in the terminal, askhader | 18:42 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: you can have either 4 primary partitions per HD, or 3 primaries and an extended to hold logical partitions | 18:42 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: please explain how, thank you? | 18:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, does the folder /media/directory exist? | 18:42 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: Okay well perhaps that question is just about as useful as the question 'Why does wpa_cli say that it failed to connect to wpa_Supplicant" ? | 18:42 |
| ghufran | richard123: u can only have 4 primary partitions per physical disk | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | i have wpa supplicant installed for my USB wifi adapter , | 18:42 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: I presume you currently have 4 primaries right now? | 18:42 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: yea i made it | 18:42 |
| muhammad_ | ericjames , any idea ? | 18:42 |
| hardwired | 'llo. I tried to update my server via console. I ran do-release-upgrade in a screen session, and detached from it. I perdiodically reconnected to answer questions that do-release-upgrade asked, and each tie, detached from screen again. At some point, the screen execytable was not found anymore. | 18:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, see if "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /mnt" works | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, failed to read or failed to connect ? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | hardwired: ahh it must have updated screen | 18:43 |
| hardwired | what should I do? There is some screen process still around, but apt-get install screen complains that there is a lock around. | 18:43 |
| ericjames | muhammad: nope, sorry. | 18:43 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: "Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying" | 18:44 |
| hardwired | ikonia: a rehash didn't help either | 18:44 |
| ikonia | hardwired: there is a lock as the upgrade process is still running | 18:44 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: same result | 18:44 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: yes, I have 1MB unallocated, ntfs system on 200MB, main ntfs (windows) on 578GB, and a windows recovry of 10GB | 18:44 |
| hardwired | ikonia: so I just keep on waiting? I have been waiting for avout half an houtr already. | 18:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, then the /dev/sdd1 must be the problem | 18:44 |
| ericjames | anybody know how to enable the Nautilus behavior of opening each folder in a new window? | 18:44 |
| ikonia | hardwired: it may have hung if it's lost it's controlling tty (screen) | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | askhader, what command is creating that output in the terminal ? | 18:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, you are using sudo before the command right? | 18:45 |
| gerrin | i did that and still not playing back, anything else i can try | 18:45 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: so you only have 3 primary partitions? | 18:45 |
| askhader | BluesKaj: wpa_cli | 18:45 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: how so? if i restart.. it will mount automatically without any issues | 18:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, are you using sudo? | 18:45 |
| hardwired | ikonia: should I see that in ps? The TTY in ps of the screen process is displayed as a ? | 18:45 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: yes. using sudo | 18:45 |
| jeeves_Moss | what do I have to remove from a desktop install to strip it out to make the install a CLI only server? | 18:45 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: how do I identify if it is primary or not (but assume I have more because gparted tells me 'cnt have more than 4') | 18:45 |
| alexxio | do you know how can i switch off wireless from X ? is there a shell command or a desktop button? | 18:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, is it mounted right now? can you pastebin "mount" | 18:45 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: you can't have more than 4 | 18:46 |
| ikonia | hardwired: you should see apt or the dpkg process running | 18:46 |
| ikonia | hardwired: or run a lsof on the lock file | 18:46 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: to have more, you would have to make the 4th partition becomes an extended partition which in turn contains logical partitions | 18:46 |
| richard123 | understood. I must have this at least because gparted gives me that error message when I shrink the main one and try to put in a new one? | 18:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | PingFloyd, you can only have 4 Primary paritions, to have more you need to use Logical (this is a BIOS limitation) | 18:47 |
| PingFloyd | ZykoticK9: that's what I said | 18:47 |
| hardwired | ikonia: the lock file is still opened by a running dpkg process. But how can I check whether it is running or hanging? | 18:47 |
| Turtl3 | were you sleepless? | 18:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | PingFloyd, oh sorry - misread you. my bad. | 18:47 |
| PingFloyd | ZykoticK9: why are you telling me? | 18:47 |
| ikonia | hardwired: you won't be able to (strace it maybe ?) now you've lost your controlling console | 18:47 |
| richard123 | how do i make an extended partition? | 18:47 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: how many partitions do you have total right now? | 18:47 |
| hardwired | ikonia: bummer. I was following a guide for the upgrade, since I am new to ubuntu, and that guide suggested using screen. | 18:48 |
| ginji | olaaaa | 18:48 |
| richard123 | how do i make an extended partition? | 18:48 |
| ikonia | hardwired: it's good advice normally | 18:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | !es > ginji | 18:48 |
| ubottu | ginji, please see my private message | 18:48 |
| ginji | is espanish | 18:48 |
| ikonia | richard123: same as any other partition, but you need free space | 18:48 |
| ikonia | richard123: when it asks you for the partition type, tell it extended instead of primary | 18:48 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: 6 listed in gparted. | 18:49 |
| ginji | soy español | 18:49 |
| hardwired | ikonia: maybe I can find how much cpu time the process uses and see if that increases. | 18:49 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: all on the same HD? | 18:49 |
| ikonia | hardwired: doubtful | 18:49 |
| ginji | ayayayay | 18:49 |
| Phurl_ | hi all, anyone see gpart kill a windows partition after resize. the windows logo just displays for a while... | 18:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | !es > ginji | 18:49 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: yes, that is what is listed in gparted on a new machine. | 18:49 |
| hardwired | ikonia: ps just displays 0 seconds for cpu time | 18:49 |
| ubottu | ginji, please see my private message | 18:49 |
| ericjames | got it.. had to switch from browser mode to spacial mode via 'edit>preferences>behavior' then unchecking 'always open in browser windows'. odd way to adjust the behavior, but so long as it works I'm satisfied. (^_^) | 18:49 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: here u go.. http://pastie.org/824593 | 18:49 |
| ikonia | hardwired: could be because it's waiting for user input from you | 18:50 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: then you must already have an extended partition set up. So all you need to do it create a logical partition | 18:50 |
| hardwired | ikonia: ahh, good idea. | 18:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, that wasn't for me -- for PingFloyd perhaps? | 18:50 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: please tell me how to identify what is an extended partition? | 18:50 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: u asked me to pastbin output of 'mount' | 18:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, oh sorry - one second | 18:51 |
| bartek_ | ahhh | 18:51 |
| bartek_ | how many users ;d | 18:51 |
| banisterfiend | ZykoticK9: do u like me the way i like u | 18:52 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: is that dev/sda1, dev/sda2 etc? | 18:52 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: i posted output of fdisk -l, mount -t ntfs.. , and mount, and ls /media | 18:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, you seem to have 2 partitions on sdd - have you tried mounting sdd5 instead of sdd1? | 18:52 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: i tried all of them .. all of them result in the same response | 18:53 |
| richard123 | pingfloyd: is that dev/sda1, dev/sda2 etc? | 18:53 |
| hardwired | ikonia: it probably was waiting for user input. I killed that dpkg process, and from what I see through ps, the update is now continuing. | 18:53 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: no | 18:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, your sdd drive was not currently mounted - perhaps if you reboot (so it automounts) we can see what/where it's getting mounted | 18:53 |

| guntbert | ghufran: you type sudo mount -a to get every line from /etc/fstab mounted without rebooting | 18:57 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: you'll have to copy/backup the data in the 4th one to some where and then make the 4th partition and extended one | 18:58 |

| ikonia | Lusule: that all loks fine | 18:59 |

| ZykoticK9 | ghufran, ya unfortunatly still not seeing sdd mounted! Guess you'll have to reboot afterall :( | 18:59 |
| ikonia | give me a few minutes, need to step out | 18:59 |
| Lusule | ikonia: sure thing | 18:59 |
| ghufran | ZykoticK9: hmm .. ok thanks anyways :) | 19:00 |
| PingFloyd | richard123: so you'll need to copy or backup your data and remove the 4th one. This will lose all the data on that partition. So after you create the extended partition and how ever many logical ones, you'll restore the data to the logical partition | 19:00 |
| ghufran | its quite annoying though .. the cable is slightly loose and gets disconnected .. and then doesnt auto mount when i plug it in .. | 19:00 |

| `mOOse` | richard123, did you bother to read anything AT ALL about partitioning hard drives? | 19:58 |
| resno | how likely am i to botch my linux install by install windows to dual boot? | 19:58 |
| `mOOse` | resno, got windows on there now? | 19:58 |
| richard123 | mOOSe: yes - have done it before but forgot a lot. | 19:58 |
| resno | `mOOse`: no, i want to install windows | 19:59 |
| `mOOse` | resno, windows first, then linux - that way grub will "see" windows and give you proper boot menu | 19:59 |
| richard123 | erUSUL: OK, and then specify 'extended'? | 19:59 |
| resno | `mOOse`: how about if i dual boot but install on seperate hdd? | 20:00 |
| richard123 | mOOSe: the problem is that the installer used to have a sliding bar to help partition- now that seems to have disappeared. | 20:00 |
| es21593 | siema | 20:00 |
| `mOOse` | resno, that's not the problem - you want to be able to boot to ubuntu AND windows - that requires a boot loader with a menu - windows will not recognise linux and so will write over your mbr - then you won't be able to boot into ubuntu | 20:01 |
| resno | `mOOse`: so i really need to reinstall the whole thing? | 20:02 |
| guntbert | MindVirus: just kill it and restart it | 20:02 |
| `mOOse` | resno, no but there's a method to regaining your grub - what rev ubuntu are we talking about? | 20:02 |

| * Chinta hopes for an asnwer | 20:05 | |
| Sinani201 | migi32: If you run the file in Terminal, it should show the output. Then you can copypaste it in a text file | 20:05 |

| usser | Migi32, something like command 2>&1 > output | 20:05 |
| Migi32 | Sinani201, the output is too long so not all output is visible | 20:05 |
| Migi32 | thx hardwired and usser | 20:05 |
| Sinani201 | For the gedit plugin "External Tools," what code should I put in to compile C++ code? | 20:06 |
| hardwired | Migi32: and write that down somewhere, because if you're like me, you keep forgetting it. | 20:06 |
| [-jon-] | if there is a process running (this is ubuntu server edition) as /tmp/.x11-####, any assumptions as to what it could be? | 20:06 |
| [-jon-] | Sinani201: g++ | 20:06 |
| christopherius | Chinta, did you change directories in the command line to the location of setup.sh? | 20:06 |
| usser | Sinani201, i dunno, g++ $1 | 20:06 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: udp socket for x11 | 20:07 |
| Sinani201 | usser: OK, I'll try that | 20:07 |
| Migi32 | hardwired, you're right I had already heard about this, but googling stuff like 2>&1 is pretty hard :) | 20:07 |
| Chinta | christopherius: What? Sorry, I dont know what you are talking about. | 20:07 |
| [-jon-] | hardwired: hmm, thats what I sort of figured | 20:07 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: (and that is an assumption only) | 20:07 |
| [-jon-] | but the strange thing is that its running as www | 20:07 |
| christopherius | when u open the terminal u gotta change directories with the cd command | 20:08 |
| Chinta | oh, is it that I have to "go" to the directory where the setup.sh is? I tried the whole path to it. | 20:08 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: strange indeed. If it's be a process spawned by some haxoring that came in through your webserver, that might be bad. | 20:08 |
| [-jon-] | yeah, and www has a bash running | 20:08 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: try lsof |grep pid-of-that-process? | 20:08 |
| Sinani201 | usser: I want the input file to be the file that's being edited in gedit, what characters should I use to represent the file? | 20:08 |

| BinaryMan | anyone know the command to delete a row from a mysql table? | 20:09 |
| en1gma | can ubuntu live cd do the same thing as acronis true image home (when you use the bootable media) to backup and restore....i not talking about how acronis runs in a windows enviroment.....im talking about when you insert the acronis bootable media and then do a complete backup or a complete restore | 20:10 |
| [-jon-] | hardwired: the thing is, I'm not the only one running things on this server, but I dont recall ever seeing that | 20:10 |
| hardwired | BinaryMan: delete from yourtable where somecondition | 20:10 |
| Sinani201 | en1gma: Probably | 20:10 |
| en1gma | there is probably a distro out similar to acronis bootable media that does the same thing | 20:10 |
| Chinta | No, it doesnt work. I still get the "command not found" error. | 20:10 |
| en1gma | what would the commands be | 20:10 |
| LaptopBrain | hi, i have an existing gentoo installation on ext3, which i want to install over the top with ubuntu. i dont want to reformat the partitions im installing onto. i take it this is possible in the ubuntu livecd? just thought i'd ask before i waste any time if it cant | 20:10 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: maybe it's a cgi, dunno | 20:10 |
| BinaryMan | hardwired: that's what i thought. | 20:10 |
| en1gma | i mean how does this work | 20:10 |
| [-jon-] | it was spawned by bash | 20:10 |
| Sinani201 | en1gma: Well, probably not. Are you trying to backup/restore a winodws machine? | 20:10 |
| [-jon-] | I cant think of a reason for www to have a shell | 20:10 |
| en1gma | i have a soft raid0 | 20:10 |
| resno | thanks `mOOse` | 20:10 |
| BinaryMan | hardwired: the table was just a single line, so i just left out the where clause. | 20:10 |
| BinaryMan | and it worked. | 20:11 |
| hardwired | [-jon-]: the name though wouldn't be from a friendly cgi though, the name smells of obfuscationb | 20:11 |
| en1gma | yea it will be most likely but i also have a seperate hd i keep ubuntu on (single non-raid drive) that i can backup also | 20:11 |

| mahdii | wooooooooooow | 20:12 |
| mahdii | hi man | 20:12 |
| [-jon-] | any idea of a way to see how that shell was actually spawned? | 20:13 |
| christopherius | Chinta, did u type 'sh setup.sh'? | 20:13 |

| usser | Sinani201, thats for C for C++ it would be g++ -x cpp - i suppose | 20:15 |

| cbleslie | sorrel: you need yo configure it in gimp. | 20:16 |
| Sorrel | I already downloaded the xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools through apt | 20:16 |
| fbc-mx | erUSUL, sorry meant mp3gain | 20:17 |
| usser | Sinani201, what this external tools plugin does is it pipes the current document from gedit to the command, gcc by default operates on files, so gcc -x c - specifies the language of the text piped to gcc (-x c) and tells it to grab input from the pipe ( - ) | 20:17 |
| Sorrel | k | 20:17 |
| cbleslie | yeah you should be good | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | fbc-mx: -5 should be quieter; afaics | 20:17 |

| iceroot | Happehwalrus: what you need? a way to install software? | 20:23 |
| usser | Sinani201, thats because gcc is a C compiler, it doesnt understand c++ use g++ in your case | 20:23 |

| ZykoticK9 | Asmob, i'm not sure where to put the files actually -- but i read the program "gcursor" allows you to install pointers in a graphical environment (rather then copying files) | 20:35 |
| Sinani201 | Thank you usser!\ | 20:35 |
| VCoolio | Asmob: mouse pointer themes go with gtk into ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes | 20:36 |
| xfact | but the problem often a service 'Microsoft-ds' creating 4-5 serious connections, and thats making my network slow, what is it? Any ideas? | 20:36 |
| usser | Sinani201, its quirky, question why not use something like anjuta that supports external compilers natively | 20:36 |
| Samp | how do I use jscal's -s option? it requires an argument, but the example just shows <x,y,z ...> | 20:36 |
| Sinani201 | usser: I was looking for a good c++ editor on ubuntu in the software center, but all I found was qt 4. C++ for dummies is a command line. Is anjuta good for that? | 20:37 |
| rsr | hi | 20:37 |

| Asmob | VCoolio, do i better need instal gcursor | 20:37 |
| SuspectZero | couple of quick questions. 1.) my Fn+f7 or Fn+f8 doesnt turn down my screens brightness? am i missing something here? cause the <9.10 did it by default | 20:37 |
| mcurran | #Windows | 20:38 |
| xfact | Sinani201, Geany or Eclipse are good IDEs | 20:38 |
| rsr | I am choosing a distro to be my learning one. I see ubuntu is really compatible but ive heard it is being polluted by windows api by it's own developers. And that noone does nothing to stop this | 20:38 |
| usser | Sinani201, anjuta and one other that i really liked forgot the name, yea Geany, it was great | 20:38 |
| Samp | ugh, ubuntu is just useless with this ps3 controller | 20:38 |
| VCoolio | Asmob: I don't know gcursor and I don't care about mouse themes anyway; just try it, won't harm anything i guess, if you like, use it; maybe also dropping the tar.gz on appearance window works | 20:38 |
| usser | Sinani201, eclipse is a bit too bloated for my needs | 20:38 |
| SuspectZero | 2.) how can i configure my special visual effects keyboard shortcuts? | 20:38 |
| Happehwalrus | SuspectZero: Try using the left and right keys. Tell me if it works. | 20:38 |

| xfact | in Firestarter firewall, often a service 'Microsoft-ds' creating 4-5 serious connections, and thats making my network slow, what is it? Any ideas? | 20:39 |
| Sinani201 | usser: Geany looks exactly the same as ajuta | 20:39 |
| SuspectZero | Happehwalrus, Fn+left or right? | 20:39 |
| SuspectZero | cause that doesnt work | 20:39 |
| rabbi1 | how to upgrade evolution mail ? | 20:40 |
| Happehwalrus | SuspectZero: Yes. Sorry, can't help you. Fn + left/right works for me. | 20:40 |
| usser | Sinani201, anjuta has a bit more features | 20:40 |
| SuspectZero | no worries Happehwalrus | 20:40 |
| becker_11 | rabbi1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade works for me | 20:40 |

| LjL | from the repositories. | 20:41 |
| usser | Sinani201, anjuta is more like IDE with stuff like project management, debugger etc, geany is just a text editor really | 20:41 |

| Sinani201 | usser: If that's the case, I'll probably use Geany. | 20:42 |
| becker_11 | rabbi1: dunno depends on settings I think in Gmail got to your gmail account on the web click settings and click forwarding and pop I believe the information is in there | 20:42 |

| n00p | diddy: yes with a brand new, unused drive it may take a couple of minutes... this is because of the way NAND flash works. | 21:01 |
| n00p | USB 2.0 has nothing to do with it. | 21:01 |
| diddy | n00p, exactly. It is a brand new USB stick. Used it only once. | 21:01 |
| n00p | diddy: how does NAND flash overwrite small amounts of data? | 21:02 |
| diddy | n00p, the stick I am copying to at the moment I only wrote to once, last week. | 21:02 |
| n00p | answer the question, please | 21:02 |

| guntbert | zoran119: the recommended command is now sudo aptitude safe-upgrade as opposed to full-upgrade - but security upgrades should be included in any case | 21:19 |
| zoran119 | guntbert: cool... so doing 'aptitude upgrade' will keep the same kernel but any security issues should be patched? | 21:20 |
| phox_ | taraduffy: i know very well how you adjust boot-sequence and how you can force it to boot at for example dvd. Thats not the problem. The thing is that it just doenst work! | 21:22 |

| diddy | Nielsen, thx | 21:31 |
| mcurran | tvjudge - you need to uninstall pulseaudio, or try to fix it (a nightmare) just uninstall - trust me | 21:31 |

| knasto | Sinani201, basically what happend was I was trying to shutdown one day, and Ubuntu hung while trying to shutdown. Then I presssed ALT-Sysreq REISUB to shut it down. Now, it doesn't work anymore. I'm running Karmic 64bit. | 22:07 |
| jrib | epaphus: you probably want build-essential | 22:07 |
| epaphus | thanks | 22:07 |
| jrib | knasto: "doesn't work" is always *too vague* | 22:07 |
| ubuntu_ | chris Im not sure how it was encrypted how can I find out? | 22:07 |
| knasto | Sinani201, the screen keeps flashing randomnly during the boot logo | 22:07 |
| Sinani201 | All you can see is the boot logo? | 22:07 |
| Sinani201 | Does anything show up before that? | 22:07 |
| tvjudge | In the troubleshooting page it says to double click the sound control to access the mixer mine doe not do that | 22:08 |
| chris| | ubuntu_, there is no simple answer to that question | 22:08 |
| hansaplast | Is there a way to detect if drivers are loaded during boot using the upstart mechanism? | 22:08 |
| knasto | Sinani201, jrib, the white boot logo shows, then the brown logo, then the screen keeps flashing until finally it turns black with white lines | 22:09 |
| ubuntu_ | is there anyway to crack the encryption? | 22:09 |
| ubuntu_ | I dont want him to loose his data | 22:09 |
| Sinani201 | ubuntu_ there might be a way to do it in the terminal... | 22:09 |

| tvjudge | Aand I do not see the mixer with all the slider or the open volume control selection when I right click on the sound control | 22:11 |
| Sinani201 | knasto: I'm not sure what you can do… I would recommend putting in a Live CD, backing up, and then reinstalling. | 22:11 |

| knasto | ubuntu_, when i run 'sudo fsck' im getting "runing e2fsck on a mounted filesytem may cause SEVERE dammage." | 22:17 |
| sysdoc | knasto, could trash the fs don't do it | 22:17 |
| chris| | ubuntu_, the encrypted private directory is an overlay mount. if it was not enabled from the start, the data in the home dir will not get encrypted if enabled later | 22:18 |
| knasto | ok thanks sysdoc | 22:18 |
| llutz | knasto: to check your /, "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will check after reboot | 22:18 |

| sysdoc | llutz, thanks I was just looking for that | 22:19 |
| chris| | ubuntu_, if the home drive contains any data in /home/$USER that is encrypted without eryptfs-private is mounted, than the private dir is not your problem | 22:19 |

| jrib | guess he didn't want the link to it... | 22:21 |
| ubuntu_ | so what are you saying exactly, in the home dir there is README.txt and a files called Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop but when I try to login to desktop it says something about ICE not configured correctly | 22:21 |
| sysdoc | Love to know WTH is up with the buntu and 1010LT | 22:21 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, i cant check it says because device is busy so im going to listen to llutz and run "sudo touch /forcefsck shutdown -r now" | 22:21 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah that will work sorry I didnt see that | 22:21 |
| LinuX2half | how do I format my removable device? | 22:22 |
| ubuntu_ | llutz knows what he is talkin about | 22:22 |
| llutz | ubuntu_: only sometimes and i didn't follow your issues. just put in a hint, how to check /-fs | 22:22 |
| ubuntu_ | LinuX2half right click on the device and format | 22:22 |
| ubuntu_ | or use gparted ( youll have to install with: sudo apt-get install gparted ) but make sure you dont nuke the wrong drive | 22:23 |
| zleap | hi | 22:23 |
| ubuntu_ | you will also have to umount the device before you can fromat | 22:23 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, llutz, wait now that im rebooted should i select recovery or the normal one to check the filesystem? | 22:23 |
| llutz | normal boot knasto | 22:24 |
| Devrethman | What does PulseAudio do, other than lock my soundcard and be a general nuisance? | 22:24 |
| ubuntu_ | try normal first | 22:24 |
| jibadeeha | anyone here used simplescan as it nicer than xsane - suppose that is subjective, but interested in what you think | 22:24 |
| LinuX2half | ubuntu_: alright, I'll see what I can do | 22:24 |
| ubuntu_ | chris| so what are you saying exactly, in the home dir there is README.txt and a files called Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop but when I try to login to desktop it says something about ICE not configured correctly | 22:25 |
| ubuntu_ | so i created him another user so he could use his pc in the mean time | 22:25 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, lutz, it showed 'check filesystem' then it looked like it finished and it switched to the brown/white boot screen. Then it did the thing where it kept flashing a black screen like 3 times, then total black, | 22:25 |
| chris| | ubuntu_, that's strange, cause the attacker would have do make a backup, wipe the home, encrypt it and copy it all back | 22:26 |
| ubuntu_ | knasto I think you have a xorg.conf issue check /etc/X11/ directory for backups of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:27 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, ok | 22:27 |
| LinuX2half | I'm able to located the device, even though its unmounted | 22:28 |
| ubuntu_ | chris so what if the users password was changed and perhaps we forgot we encrypted the home dir when I installed it could that cause problems? | 22:28 |
| chris| | ubuntu_, you can look for your friends data in /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private and the credentials in /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs | 22:29 |
| LinuX2half | It only detects file systems. | 22:29 |
| chris| | what you need to do to decrypt it pass for the private home is to decrypt the wrapped-passphrase with a password | 22:29 |
| chris| | if you can't do that, you have zero chance | 22:29 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, im here in the directory, i don't see a xorg.conf at all. I see a xorg.conf.failsafe though | 22:30 |
| LinuX2half | How do I format my removable device...? | 22:30 |
| Asmob | where ubuntu save all icon themes..? | 22:30 |
| jrib | LinuX2half: you may use gparted | 22:30 |
| jrib | Asmob: why? | 22:30 |
| LinuX2half | jrib: I | 22:30 |
| ubuntu_ | knasto do this: sudo cp xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf | 22:30 |
| LinuX2half | jrib: I'm using it right now though | 22:30 |
| jrib | LinuX2half: what is "it"? | 22:30 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, isnt that the new xorg though it doesnt have a xorg.conf file | 22:30 |
| nyberg | hi there.. im trying to get the NIC or wireless on an acer aspire 5710z to work with recent ubuntu but cant get it to work. | 22:30 |

| knasto | ubuntu_, oh ok | 22:31 |
| LinuX2half | jrib: it can only detects file system.... I'm referring to Gparted | 22:31 |
| ubuntu_ | it doesnt use one but if you specify one it uses it | 22:31 |
| Asmob | jrib, to take icon for trash | 22:31 |
| jrib | LinuX2half: gksudo gparted | 22:31 |
| Asmob | jrib, for cairo dock | 22:31 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, i did that. what now? | 22:31 |
| jrib | Asmob: the themes you install end up in ~/.icons/ . The default system-wide ones are in /usr/share/icons/ I believe | 22:32 |
| ubuntu_ | restart | 22:32 |
| ubuntu_ | or | 22:32 |
| ubuntu_ | sudo service gdm start | 22:32 |
| LinuX2half | jrib: yes, I've run the program with full root permission but I still can't see my device. | 22:32 |
| jrib | LinuX2half: there's a drop down menu in gparted | 22:32 |
| knasto | ubuntu_, i did sudo gdrm start and it says gdm start running, process 2335 | 22:33 |

| pixelated | err doesnt change the problem... | 22:43 |
| coz_ | direpenuin, if you dont have windows on that drive and you dont want to keep mint...which I suggest not keeping... then just stick the ubuntu cd in the drive and when it comes to the partition area just erase and use entire disk | 22:43 |

| nonameNN | MindVirus: ok, no one seems to know whats wrong with ur sound server, google | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | emmanuel: #wine for help with Wine and #vbox for help with Virtualbox, and check out the Wine app db | 22:57 |

| MindVirus | nonameNN: Perhaps because the only advice that was given was TO INSTALL EXAILE. | 22:58 |
| nonameNN | !sound | MindVirus | 22:58 |
| ubottu | MindVirus: 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 | 22:58 |
| emmanuel | I have a video card integrated NVIDEA | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: You didn't ask for any diagnostic information. | 22:58 |
| erUSUL | Drakonslayor: you can not use windows graphic drivers in linux. | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: You asked me why I wasn't using Pulse and you're trying to convince me to use it. | 22:58 |
| alyssum | my audio was working just fine (on mythtv box), but while using shell-fm it suddenly started showing errors that the sound card couldn't be found. Sure enough aplay -l lists "no soundcards" BUT lspci does list it and so does /proc/asound/cards. what's going on? how to debug this? | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: I am not having problems with sound. | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | emmanuel: that's #winehq not #wine | 22:58 |
| Drakonslayor | you can install them using wine... just wondering if you can utilise them? | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: I can hear everything. | 22:58 |
| nonameNN | MindVirus: i have already given u an answer... use pulse | 22:58 |
| trism | MindVirus: an invalid bug, but the problem seems similar, and there is a workaround alsa config there, might be worth a shot https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-base0.10/+bug/391861 | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | Everything is wonderful. | 22:58 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: You are fairly useless. | 22:59 |
| archboxman | nonameNN: hold on I go to research this rythmbox and when I get back with an answer your going to make me unhappy MindVirus | 22:59 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: I just told you that Pulse causes problems. | 22:59 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Pardon? | 22:59 |
| nonameNN | MindVirus: an so is alsa | 22:59 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: unhappy with your ideas about Linux ... :( | 22:59 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Do you know what my ideas about Linux are? | 23:00 |
| MindVirus | No, you don't. | 23:00 |
| emmanuel | does not work with wine??? | 23:00 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: Its no pulseaudio because that only runs a sound card... | 23:00 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: PulseAudio is a sound server. | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | emmanuel: it might, but in that case probably not properly, also to get it working well or reasonably well you probably have to configure Wine | 23:00 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: what hardware are you using???? | 23:00 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Onboard sound in my netbook. | 23:00 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | If I installed FireFox-3.5 Can I safely uninstall 3.0 or is 3.5 dependent on it? | 23:00 |
| archboxman | lspci -nn .... sound card pls | 23:01 |
| hb_ | hello.. | 23:01 |
| MindVirus | PulseAudio is a sound server, which means that it routes requests to the sound driver into itself. | 23:01 |
| MindVirus | It is an extra layer. | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | purpzey-is-a-guy: Which Ubuntu you on 9.04? | 23:01 |
| MindVirus | ALSA has a built-in mixer. | 23:01 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | sebsebseb: Jaunty, 9.04 yep. | 23:01 |
| emmanuel | ummmm | 23:01 |
| MindVirus | I don't need sound over TCP/IP. | 23:01 |
| hb_ | ask...only | 23:01 |
| MindVirus | I just want direct sound access. | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | purpzey-is-a-guy: ok yeah that uses the 3.0 series by default, how did you install 3.5? | 23:01 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: if it is a sound card issue then swap it 10 BUCKS problem solved | 23:02 |
| purpzey-is-a-guy | sebsebseb: via the repos. | 23:02 |
| MindVirus | PulseAudio for my purposes is useless, and furthermore, causes problems. | 23:02 |
| nonameNN | MindVirus: what version of ubuntu are u using? | 23:02 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Do you know what a netbook is? Do you even know what my problem is? | 23:02 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: 9.10. | 23:02 |
| emmanuel | in graphic | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | purpzey-is-a-guy: ok so you got shiretoko? | 23:02 |

Also I forgot to mention that earlier today I was able to get to the login screen. But when I enterred my password the screen would start flashing again. Then, after that the login screen wouldnt appear, it was just the brown/white. Now the brown/white is gone, its just the black/whit | 23:02 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: I had 3 netbooks 2 acer aspire ones and Asus eee 901 | 23:02 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You realize that you just told me to replace my soundcard? | 23:03 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: I am sorry, it is hard to take you seriously. | 23:03 |
| MindVirus | I don't mean to be rude, but you've been the part yourself. | 23:03 |
| fission6 | how can i find out what cpu / hardware my desktop has? | 23:03 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: hard to take you serious ... :( | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | nonameNN: if you upgrade to 9.10, that might go wrong by the way, your 3.0 install will be upgraded to 3.5 with the FIrefox logo and Firefox user agent string. If you stay on 9.04 you can remove 3.0 ,but you don't really need to | 23:03 |

| MindVirus | archboxman: You're telling me to look through a list of distributions. You want me to learn something, right? | 23:04 |
| alyssum | how can i removed everything related to sound drivers and reinstall? what packages are those? | 23:04 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Have you ever done any C programming/ | 23:04 |

| karl_ | hi everyone does any know of a blackberry download for use as a modem? | 23:04 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: there is more then one netbook distro try another if your unhappy.... | 23:05 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Do you know my problem? | 23:05 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: No, you don't. | 23:05 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: My problem is that Rhythmbox uses too much CPU usage. | 23:05 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Which means it's a problem with Gstreamer or the sound engine. | 23:05 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: I am very familiar with my choice in distributions. Thank you. I choose Ubuntu. | 23:05 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: let me guess your running a ipod on the rythmbox or mp3 player yes...??? | 23:06 |
| so0ky | hi, does Ubuntu Server 64 bit have the ability to run .bin files after a fresh install? If not, is there a command to allow the server to run .bin files? | 23:06 |
| nonameNN | MindVirus: how do u know if its rythmbox? did u try any other player? | 23:06 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Yes, I am, good guess. | 23:06 |
| MindVirus | nonameNN: Let's try. | 23:06 |
| jrib | so0ky: of course. But why would you want to? | 23:06 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: it uses power from your cpu to find files wow... | 23:06 |
| so0ky | i am trying to install cs 1.6 server on my box, and I am following the instructions of the article. the next step is to run a .bin file. | 23:06 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: It finds files throughout the entire song, eh? | 23:07 |
| karl_ | hi any know of a blackberry download for karmic? | 23:07 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You sound like you know your stuff, my friend. | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | so0ky: you probably just have to make it executable (chmod +x file.bin) | 23:07 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Just constant file-finding, yeah? | 23:07 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: no but it has to use constant power because ipod charges the device | 23:07 |
| so0ky | if that is accomplished, does the file appear green? | 23:07 |
| so0ky | i think i have already done that, and the file won't run | 23:07 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Because iPod charges the device. Constant power from my CPU. | 23:07 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Nice. | 23:08 |
| sebsebseb | purpzey-is-a-guy: ok np | 23:08 |
| gwildor | you guys are charging stuff with your ipod ? | 23:08 |
| MindVirus | gwildor: No. | 23:08 |
| MindVirus | We are not. | 23:08 |
| karl_ | does any know of a blackberry download for karnic? | 23:08 |
| karl_ | karmic* | 23:08 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: that is why its a netbook it was not designed for using external devices on go unless plugged into a outlet | 23:08 |
| gwildor | and constant power from PSU, not cpu. | 23:08 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Wow. | 23:09 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Wow, wow, wow. | 23:09 |
| jrib | so0ky: it's likely it's meant to run on 32bit. Maybe install the ia32 packages... | 23:09 |
| ubuntu3456 | how do i install skype on ubuntu 9.10 | 23:09 |
| jrib | !skype | ubuntu3456 | 23:09 |

| karl_ | has any one got a blackberry? | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | so0ky: erro messages? | 23:09 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You are telling me that my iPod is being charged, so when I PAUSE my Rhythmbox, my CPU usage is non-existent, but when I play it's high? | 23:09 |
| archboxman | gwildor: understand , but it puts a load on the cpu because not enough power for the system to run basic operation | 23:10 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: 15+ years. | 23:10 |
| so0ky | you are most likely right, i didn't think of that. what are the ia32 packages? does it allow programs to be tricked in thinking it is a 32 bit system? | 23:10 |
| olskolirc | download it ubuntu3456 and then do: sudo dpkg -i skypepackage.deb | 23:10 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: A load on the CPU because nto enough power for the system to run basic operation. | 23:10 |
| alyssum | ok, i've tried removing and reinstalling linux-sound-base and alsa-utils...but same problem | 23:10 |
| ubuntu3456 | olskolirc: Is there a package for 9.10? | 23:10 |
| gwildor | archboxman, if anything, on the netbook, it will step down to a slower core speed, or disable a core.... it will not put a load on it.... | 23:11 |
| erUSUL | so0ky: not tricked; it just probides the needed 32 bit libraries | 23:11 |
| jrib | alyssum: irc channels as big as this one have a 1-line memory | 23:11 |
| karl_ | hello can any one help??? | 23:11 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You realize a load on the CPU causes more power consumption? | 23:11 |
| olskolirc | yes ubuntu3456 any of the ones for ubuntu will do | 23:11 |
| ubuntu3456 | 32bit | 23:11 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You are a troll. | 23:11 |
| jrib | !helpme | karl_ | 23:11 |
| ubottu | karl_: 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 | 23:11 |

| MindVirus | `mOOse`: Please stop. | 23:12 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You are awesome. | 23:12 |
| erUSUL | alyssum: no need if you already tried | 23:12 |
| archboxman | gwildor: yes I did lol | 23:12 |
| archboxman | lol | 23:12 |
| archboxman | lol | 23:12 |
| FloodBot2 | archboxman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:12 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You are not very used to the Linux community then. | 23:12 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: Or at least how Linux works. | 23:12 |
| jrib | archboxman: please keep the discussion related to ubuntu support only | 23:12 |
| gwildor | archboxman, then you should inform the us coast guard that drawing power from a battery does not put a load on a cpu... | 23:12 |
| MindVirus | Could someone help me decrease Rhythmbox usage? | 23:12 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: 15+ years don't mean anything if you've not learned anything since then. | 23:13 |
| meowbuntu | uhi what is up with www.imagebin.ca it is broken. its better site as it gives oprtopn to poste for a day a week or month. over imagebin.org. where you casnt even delete posts | 23:13 |
| karl_ | does someone know of a blackberry download to use it as a modem? | 23:13 |
| ChogyDan | MindVirus: maybe this command can give some insight: time gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=foo.mp3 | 23:13 |
| gwildor | MindVirus, i would suggest maybe using a lighter player, xmms or beep maybe will give better results. rythmbox is heavy for me, even when plugged in | 23:13 |
| magn3ts | How can I get to try the new single window gimp in ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| MindVirus | gwildor: Perhaps, but Rhythmbox used to use ~20% CPU with Pulse. | 23:14 |
| MindVirus | Now uses ~40%. | 23:14 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: yes I am they think power and connections in a different way they don't see that gui can drag down the system preformance.l.. I hang out in ArchLinux , Slackware and Debian they understand cpu usage because they run Fluxbox and other windows managers for this | 23:14 |
| peterhe | guys please, i need some help with my printer. i cant set it up in cups | 23:14 |
| peterhe | it is connected via usb | 23:14 |
| Happehwalrus | magn3ts: Single window Gimp? | 23:14 |
| MindVirus | archboxman: You should really stop advising people on what you don't know. | 23:14 |
| anom01y | xmms | 23:14 |
| archboxman | MindVirus: furthermore look into crunchbag to reduce the load | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | !xmms | 23:14 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 23:14 |

| jaypur | meowbuntu, getting it;;; | 23:27 |
| Scunizi | bikcmp: sudo kill -9 20092 | 23:27 |
| karl_ | hello | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | bikcmp: apt is run with sudo must be killed with sudo | 23:27 |

| Tourist | Anyone actually running Ubuntu on a little netbook? I'd like to run it with Wine so I can load MS Visual C++ | 23:28 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Are there getty instances running? | 23:28 |
| bikcmp | -9 worked, thanks you guy's :) | 23:28 |
| bikcmp | what does -9 flag do? | 23:28 |
| Scunizi | mark7: ? | 23:28 |
| meowbuntu | jaypur, when you find out what filesys you have let me know | 23:28 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: You said that you can't switch to your ttys | 23:28 |
| alyssum | still working on this problem: audio worked fine, but suddenly alsa no longer saw card (while playing shell-fm). have tried rmmod snd-intel8x0 and then modprobe it. no errors. have purged alsa-utils and reinstalled. still aplay -l returns "no soundcard" and lspci /proc/asound/cards list them fine... help! | 23:28 |
| jaypur | meowbuntu, i just got a new unetbooting just a sec | 23:28 |
| Scunizi | mark7: ah.. didn't relate the question to mine.. I'll check | 23:28 |
| alyssum | does my user need to belong to some audio group?? | 23:29 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: There should be one getty process running for each tty. If not, it won't have been allocated. | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | bikcmp: send the sigkill signal a signal that processes can not avoid | 23:29 |
| v3rr3z | I was wondering, does a game that is only for windows run faster, slower, or at the same speed with running wine on linux? | 23:29 |
| karl_ | bikcmp | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | bikcmp: should not be used lightly | 23:29 |
| Scunizi | mark7: what's the easiest way to find that out? cli | 23:29 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: ps auxw|grep getty | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | v3rr3z: slower; the wmulation does allways have some overhead | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | v3rr3z: slower; the emulation does allways have some overhead | 23:30 |
| mark7 | v3rr3z: IME, typically slower but disk I/O and VM tends to be faster | 23:30 |
| karl_ | do you know of any system for blackberry to use it as a modem any one | 23:30 |
| Scunizi | mark7: there's one listed .. lists in red and no pid associated with it. | 23:30 |
| alyssum | ok, new update, sudo aplay -l does work...so it is indeed a permissions issue... my groups for my user are: alyssum adm dialout cdrom video plugdev mythtv admin | 23:30 |
| jaypur | meowbuntu, gparted on what do you wanna know? | 23:30 |
| Scunizi | mark7: must be tty7 | 23:30 |
| v3rr3z | thanks | 23:30 |
| mark7 | mark7: You should have lines like this: "/sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4" etc for each tty in use | 23:31 |
| Scunizi | mark7: might have something to do with plasma craching.. or something else.. some of my widgets on the screen are black.. and "notify" crashed earlier too.. might have to restart. | 23:31 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: I doubt it | 23:31 |
| Scunizi | mark7: nope.. nothing like that listed in the grep of getty.. | 23:31 |
| meowbuntu | filesystem type of flash drive remember | 23:32 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Do you have entries in /etc/init/tty[1-6].conf? | 23:32 |
| meowbuntu | is it fat 32 | 23:32 |

| === tabris|away is now known as tabris | ||
| meowbuntu | karl_, a device for blackberry is a blackbery ??????? | 23:33 |
| usser | erUSUL, theoretically wine should give native performance though | 23:33 |
| karl_ | sorry meant install to use as a modem | 23:33 |
| Scunizi | mark7: yep | 23:33 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: So for some reason upstart just hasn't started them. Hmm. | 23:33 |
| meowbuntu | karl_, you meaning an application on ubuntu that can run blackberries | 23:33 |
| Scunizi | mark7: should I /etc/init.d/getty start ? | 23:34 |
| karl_ | meowbuntu yer thats the one | 23:34 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: I doubt that there's a script for that | 23:34 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: It's treated specially | 23:34 |
| Scunizi | mark7: your right.. :( | 23:34 |
| alyssum | ok, it's fixed. needed to add user to the audio group after all.... don't know how that was lost to begin with though. | 23:34 |
| meowbuntu | karl_, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry | 23:34 |
| Scunizi | mark7: it's weird .. this is the first time I've noticed they are not available.. | 23:35 |
| meowbuntu | karl_, http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8300/ubuntu-and-Blackberry-desktop-manager/td-p/229700;jsessionid=6F5BBAEEE98D64EE2A94A8F8C315799D | 23:35 |
| Scunizi | mark7: I do use them on occasion .. at least every other day. | 23:35 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: What happens when you run sudo /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1? | 23:35 |
| meowbuntu | karl_, just google ubuntu "9.10 blackberry" that should get you lots of info | 23:35 |
| meowbuntu | !blackberry | 23:35 |
| Ganang | can anyone recommend a good svn client for linux, like tortoisesvn for windows? | 23:36 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Do you get complaining about some sort of error, or can you now switch to tty1? | 23:36 |
| meowbuntu | ok is there anything else i need to select here in my sorclist http://imagebin.org/84827 | 23:36 |
| Scunizi | mark7: nope.. that worked for tty1 .. | 23:36 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Hmm. So for some reason, getty works, you have the config files telling upstart to start them, but they aren't running | 23:37 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Nothing in /var/log/messages about getty? | 23:37 |
| Scunizi | mark7: something must have changed in the latest update.. I'll check the logs | 23:37 |
| happyface | how do I apply a kernel patch/ just "patch patchname"? | 23:38 |

| Seveas | Welshy-Rob, then add the application menu, the notification area, and all other things back to it | 23:40 |
| Welshy-Rob | Seveas, okay thanks | 23:40 |
| happyface | meowbuntu: to apply a patch, I just use "patch patchname"? | 23:40 |

| ubottu | Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 23:41 |

| choro_vw | hi all, after several power outages my ubuntu 9.10 install won't boot, are there any tutorials to recover my broken system? | 23:42 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: You grepped your /var/log/messages (and zgrepped the .gz ones) and didn't turn up anything about getty that looked suspicious? | 23:42 |
| Devrethman | Is there a way to set the default $TERM in gnome-terminal to xterm-256color instead of just xterm? | 23:43 |
| Scunizi | mark7: only looked in "messages" .. I'll look in the .gz ones.. what's the grep line.. "messages | grep getty" ? | 23:43 |
| mark7 | grep getty /var/log/messages* | 23:44 |
| mark7 | zgrep getty /var/log/messages*gz | 23:44 |
| Scunizi | k | 23:44 |
| kad__ | hey ! i want messenger have webcam/voice other than aMSN coz it crash :( any ? thx | 23:44 |
| Devrethman | Or like, is there some equivalent of ~.bashrc that only runs in gnome-terminal? | 23:44 |
| Scunizi | mark7: nothing returned. | 23:44 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: One wild shot -- for some reason, your system might be in a runlevel that it doesn't start them at | 23:45 |
| Scunizi | mark7: with either command. | 23:45 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: I don't know why X would start then, but... | 23:45 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Might try running runlevel | 23:45 |
| Scunizi | mark7: how do I check what run level I'm in? | 23:45 |
| jaypur | meowbuntu, fat32? | 23:45 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: the first value is your last runlevel, the second your current | 23:45 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: I'd expect it to read "N 2" | 23:45 |
| Scunizi | mark7: interesting.. running runlevel returns "unknown" | 23:46 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: I don't know what exactly would cause *that*... | 23:46 |
| mark7 | Scunizi: Looks like that's it's generic error code... | 23:46 |
| Scunizi | mark7: I'll restart and see what happens.. | 23:47 |
