| kieren | DBeets: I have mounted 192.168.1.3:/media/cdrom to /media/cdrom | 00:01 |
| Guest51742 | Typos_King, i already have that installed.....(?) | 00:01 |
| kieren | Then tried to play it with: vlc /media/cdrom | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | Guest51742: b43-fwcutter, no, you have to get it from the repos.... the .o files you can dl from that url | 00:01 |
| Guest51742 | Typos_King, it says it's already installed...i'm purging it and reinstalling it now | 00:02 |
| Typos_King | Guest51742: k, then if it's already installed, run the lines it has there, to include the firmware files, and reboot when done | 00:02 |

| slyco | hi all | 00:12 |
| ahuang | VCoolio: any ideas? | 00:12 |
| darolu | eni123: yeah, my program (epsxe) was 32-bit based so I had to install 32-bit libraries, I found them all here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 00:12 |
| darolu | you just have to search for them. | 00:12 |
| RanyAlbeg | VCoolio: Thank you very much. | 00:12 |
| Paddy_NI | RanyAlbeg: Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 00:12 |
| VCoolio | ahuang: not really, I use alsa, doesn't have the feature anyway | 00:12 |
| eni123 | darolu: you downloaded them manually? | 00:12 |
| RanyAlbeg | Paddy_NI: thats ok , that was a wrong ppa. thank you. | 00:13 |
| DBeets | kieren: huh, it doesn't work locally for me either | 00:13 |

| kieren | That's okay | 00:13 |
| kieren | Good to have someone on my team :D | 00:13 |
| darolu | eni123: yes, manually and manually installed them too, you need to copy them to the 32-bit folder; I don't remember the step by step procedure but that was the idea; I'll be back home in like 40 minutes, I'll be able to see the computer where I have epsxe installed then; if you want to wait :P | 00:13 |
| Paddy_NI | RanyAlbeg: no problem | 00:13 |

| eni123 | darolu: comprendo ;D | 00:17 |
| darolu | !offtopic > self | 00:17 |
| unop | seanbrystone, not a graphical application (that depends on X) no -- as X itself is restarted when you log off -- but you can definitely do that for command line applications# | 00:17 |
| joeblob | meganerd you still there? | 00:17 |
| grobda24 | scribawf, you may have a backup list file in /boot/grub if ya lucky | 00:17 |
| Typos_King | pete__: still isn't getting detected? | 00:17 |
| seanbrystone | unop ah ,future ability, lets hope :) | 00:17 |
| AHelper2 | would apt-get --force-yes remove dep.'s or ignore them? | 00:17 |
| scribawf | grobda24; yup I do | 00:18 |
| joeblob | strange... /whois meganerd shows he's still here but he's not in /names | 00:18 |
| raj | you know what really sucvks besides puleaudio these days... NVIDIA stopped supporting non SSE chipsets so anything older than P4 / AMD semp wont work at all with nvidia drivers.. i have an old amd 1300mhz computer i use as a media server/center connected to my 37 inch tv that only runs good with linux mint 5. because anything newer breaks my graphics. i tried everything with no luck. i guess nvidia really hates old computers. dont get m | 00:18 |
| raj | <raj> e wrong i have a good GFX card on it to run nice on the tv. but nothing after ubuntu 8.04 works nicely on that machine. i triedto compile older nvidia with no luck. :S | 00:18 |
| DBeets | Kieren: aparently we need to install libdvdcss | 00:18 |
| pdg1 | willwh, I'm trying to get files from computer A on my network to computer B... setting up vsftpd isn't as easy as i thought. | 00:18 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, no - would having ndiswrapper or bcmwl-kernel* installed make a difference??? | 00:18 |
| Typos_King | dumbass... can't say... might be the libflashplayer.so version | 00:18 |
| kieren | I have done | 00:18 |
| scribawf | grobda24: and then what I do with that list? | 00:18 |
| DBeets | poop | 00:19 |
| grobda24 | scribawf, if you check it's fairly recent & has win entry in there then replace the menu.lst (I think it's called?). Make a backup of that file as well before you replace it. | 00:19 |
| === manuel_ is now known as manuel__ | ||
| Gstar | should you be using anything older than a p4 /sempron other than telling the time | 00:19 |
| kieren | Well, libdvdcss2 | 00:19 |
| scribawf | grobda24: thank you I suspected that would be the approach, but needed some coaching | 00:19 |
| Gstar | yeah use them as servers or to run legacy stuff but dont expect to run the latest | 00:19 |
| grobda24 | scribawf, np :) | 00:19 |
| darolu | raj: ATI cards are worst, they stopped supporting a lot of cards since early 09; I also have an old computer to watch movies/etc, the best option is to stick with 8.04 :( | 00:20 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, would those files work on all broadcom adapters? i see openwrt has a bunch | 00:20 |
| odyi | Anyone notice an update that now make gnome-terminal open at / instead of ~? | 00:20 |
| DBeets | I'm reading this: http://wiki.videolan.org/Common_Problems | 00:20 |
| Gstar | if you got new hardware why upgrade the os makes now sense | 00:21 |
| Typos_King | pete__ makes me wonder... yes, the files are just firmware, 9.1 already includes drivers for broadcom chipsets, they just don't include the drivers.... I wonder firstly why isn't it showing up in lspci at all, it'd show at worst as Unknown | 00:21 |
| Gstar | old hardware* | 00:21 |
| Typos_King | pete__ which makes me wonder if you have a broadcomm chipset device at all :{ | 00:21 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, i checked out hp's site - says broadcom..if it was an intel - im sure ubuntu would pick it up..right? any other suggestions? | 00:22 |
| Gstar | broadcom works fine in 8.04 | 00:22 |
| Typos_King | pete__ so, you don't know, all you know is waht 'they' say | 00:22 |
| Typos_King | pete__ either way, it'd show in lspci, do a lspci and paste it in a pastebin | 00:23 |
| kieren | DBeets: did you say you can play a dvd over nfs? | 00:23 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, ok one sec | 00:23 |
| AHelper2 | ... | 00:23 |
| DBeets | Kieren: yeah, it's a ripped DVD. | 00:24 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, http://pastebin.com/R889raX0 | 00:24 |
| DBeets | are you getting this? ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called | 00:24 |
| raj | <darolu> YEAH i know it really frustrates me.. why do they do that? older drivers shouldnt break with newer kernels some people still use OLDER hardware... linux community should do this.. they are turning like microsoft where older hardware is no longer effecient supported | 00:24 |
| Younder | Is there somthing that can thunk onto the X messaging system and recorp/play windows inpu alla what expect does to console based apps? | 00:24 |
| kieren | Oh, okay | 00:25 |
| Gstar | no raj linux isnt thats the thing if one distro is doing that you can always use another | 00:25 |
| kieren | No, not getting that | 00:25 |
| Gstar | or stick to LTS | 00:25 |
| darolu | raj: Yeah I know, they are interested in selling newer cards only; anyways I use ATI cards and the open source driver is not bad, doesn't beat the propietary one though | 00:25 |
| Typos_King | pete__ I don't see it :{ | 00:26 |
| Typos_King | pete__ how do you know you have one hehe | 00:26 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, there's a wireless button on the outer casing | 00:26 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, all of these models come with it | 00:26 |
| DBeets | Kieren: well my issue seems to be with my drive. VLC will read the disk title then abandon ship. | 00:26 |
| darolu | raj: my card is not even THAT old, is ~4 years old only and I need to use 2.6.24 or previous kernel | 00:26 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, I was told it worked with Vista | 00:26 |
| Gstar | thing is you have the windows mentality upgrade .. upgrade | 00:26 |
| raj | Gstar i am stuck on 8.04 on my older machine because nvidia stop suporting non SSE chipsets older than p4/amd semp thast why im mad. i trie dto compile older drivers 96.xx with no luck under the new kernel | 00:26 |
| DBeets | Kieren: I gotta go afk for a bit | 00:27 |
| kieren | That's okay | 00:27 |
| Gstar | and whats wrong with 8.04 | 00:27 |
| kieren | I think I'm going to just leave it and go to be | 00:27 |
| kieren | Thanks for the help | 00:27 |
| kieren | I'll pop back tomorrow to share what I find | 00:27 |
| Gstar | tbh when 8.04 gets discontiuned Im switching to debian or fedora | 00:27 |
| raj | darolu i feel you my card is an nvidia 9500 gt but running on an amd 1300 so i guess im out of luck. im stuck with ubuntu 8.04/linu xmint 5 | 00:27 |
| pete__ | Typos_King, any last suggestions? | 00:28 |
| RandomCake | Hi all, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 on a SheevaPlug and the internal storage is only 512MB, and I'd like to be able to have some packages installed to the internal storage, and some be installed onto a USB flash drive, is there any way I can do that? | 00:28 |
| Gstar | raj your missing the point of LTS | 00:28 |
| raj | Gstar nothing is wrong with 8.04 but i have to manually compile all the new software that no longer have .deb for ubuntu 8.04 | 00:29 |
| Gstar | ah ok | 00:29 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Does there happen to be any backports of cheese, for use in 8.04 LTS so that I can lower my webcam capture resolution lower to get better frame rates? | 00:29 |
| Typos_King | pete__ get a live-cd with utilities to probe for a full hardware list.... also.... have you checked in 'dmesg' log yet? does it show any errors or loads for a Network adapter? | 00:29 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | The regular repo package doesnt have that feature. | 00:29 |
| grobda24 | LinuxGuy2009, you could try the package search web page | 00:30 |
| Gstar | raj but your going aqgainst the LTS by installing newer versions against the repos | 00:30 |

| Craig_Dem | No reason to use mIRC. | 00:40 |
| Craig_Dem | Unless you use scripts. | 00:40 |
| teage | i will check the repos for a hex editor | 00:40 |
| x_ | xchat ..for some reason wont allow my bnc to connect.. i googled the error but others have had the same problem and it wasnt solved.. and kvirc ..i completely forgot about . ill try that .. im using konversation atm .. its okish | 00:40 |
| Gstar | teage you said look inside how do you mean how it works? | 00:40 |
| vi390 | having problem to get a missing screen resolution added to the resolution dropdown. Have tried adding section in xorg.conf without success. Whatelse can I do (I want it to be available for all users on the box) | 00:40 |
| teage | Gstar; exactly. | 00:41 |
| alex__ | hey | 00:41 |
| DebianUT | Anyone tried Lucid alpha3 in vmware? | 00:41 |
| alex__ | is the kernel located in /boot? | 00:41 |
| Gstar | teage then a hex editor is what you need but you need knowledge of assembley language | 00:41 |
| Typos_King | x_: iirc pidgin also does irc | 00:41 |
| x_ | lol | 00:42 |
| kraetzja | its been a while, are there still 'cutting edge' patchsets for linux-sources or has development kinda slowed? | 00:42 |

| x_ | like i said ..; i cant connect to my bnc via xchat | 00:42 |
| teage | Gstar: google serves me well and what i cant find or learn, someone from the channel might now. I will find what i need to know. | 00:42 |
| teage | Im just curious is all | 00:42 |
| Gstar | teage have you ever programmed? | 00:43 |
| teage | I was able to view it with winrar but it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo | 00:43 |
| teage | gstar: no, just scripting | 00:43 |
| rww | DebianUT: Lucid support and discussion goes in #ubuntu+1 :) | 00:43 |
| Gstar | teaage will be even more so in a hex editor | 00:43 |
| teage | Gstar: i have read a bit though about programming | 00:44 |
| Gstar | just delete it and be done | 00:44 |
| kraetzja | what is linux-next? | 00:45 |
| Gstar | Ive programmed in c++ pascal visual baisc c# and hexa is still over my head if it gets complex | 00:45 |
| Gstar | Ive done some nood reversing but trust me it will be over your heaf | 00:45 |
| Gstar | head | 00:45 |
| Typos_King | tails | 00:45 |
| teage | Gstar: well thats what i mean, windows uses c++ do they not, specially for exes | 00:46 |
| DebianUT | rww: thank you | 00:46 |
| AHelper2 | What would cause OpenAL to return these values? http://pastebin.com/6bEj7tMc | 00:46 |
| Gstar | teage yeah but you cant reverse it to the language you have to reverse it to machine code | 00:46 |
| teage | Gstar:ic | 00:47 |
| frankS2 | openAI is much more cooler | 00:47 |
| frankS2 | teage: lol | 00:48 |

| ubottu | dsnyders: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 00:52 |
| teage | there are 6 files | 00:52 |
| teage | but i cant view them | 00:52 |

| Spokes | It provides information about the ethernet card | 01:06 |
| teage | Gstar: i do agree with the gaming. | 01:06 |
| Spokes | and lo is a loopback | 01:06 |
| airtonix | histo, if you use tint2 then the systemtray it provides works with any gnome app | 01:06 |
| Tman | my repos are screwed up somehow, and apt-get is saying that it can't find certain packages.. | 01:07 |
| Gstar | what information though can you put it in pastebin | 01:07 |
| meco | I'm having a problem with the Totem video player in that it only plays at super slow speed. Does anyone know what could cause this? | 01:07 |
| histo | airtonix: but what is the app for volume control gnome-volume-control is part of gnome | 01:07 |
| histo | airtonix: thats what i'm using is tint2 with their systray just can't find a volume control then I need to find a power button | 01:07 |

| teage | airtonix:then hush | 01:11 |
| Typos_King | teage: you decided to probe the .exe... so get the hex editor/viewer and probe it, about the execution, either do it on a virtual box or a win32 session, anything else, I'd not think is channel relevant per se | 01:12 |

| xangua | histo: with tint2 you can use gnome's | 01:13 |
| teage | Im interested in the coding, weather it be windows or not, Im working from an Ubuntu OS so i think its very relevant. C++ python all relevant (hex editor) | 01:13 |
| Typos_King | histo:..... can't say....I use kmix, but that's kde, but runs on the tray of my WM just fine | 01:14 |

| Viking667 | I've got a machine that doesn't boot past a certain stage. Problem is, I don't know why. | 01:16 |
| xangua | histo: if you use pulse i think is gnome-pulse-applet | 01:17 |
| Viking667 | Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.28 from 9.04, normal startup sequence doesn't get any further than the fsck of filesystem completing. Neither does the "rescue" entry | 01:17 |
| histo | xangua: package doesn't exist i'm gong to try to get volwheel to work. | 01:17 |

| Typos_King | Viking667: clean installs most often do :| | 01:18 |
| Gstar | stick to that kernel then | 01:18 |
| Viking667 | Can't. It's got a memory allocation bug that tanks most 3D programs I want to run. | 01:19 |

| Gstar | what kernel you running? | 01:19 |
| Viking667 | i.e. Imprudence, SecondLife, CoolPlus, OpenCobalt... | 01:19 |
| Typos_King | Viking667 so do a clean install of 9.04 then :| | 01:19 |
| Viking667 | 2.6.31-19, I think. | 01:19 |
| Viking667 | uh, I don't have that option. | 01:19 |
| Typos_King | ? | 01:19 |
| Viking667 | ... though I wish I'd been able to. | 01:19 |
| jolaren | I believe something is wrong with my cpu fan cause it sounds alot.. Can I check errors of the fan somehow? It's like it's not identified by acpi or something | 01:20 |
| Viking667 | It's a system that's been going for about ... ooo.... three years being upgraded. | 01:20 |
| Viking667 | I've cleaned out all the crap in intervening times that i can find. | 01:20 |
| Typos_King | jolaren: sure, get the screwdriver out and start :) | 01:20 |
| Gstar | you can download the latest from http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kernel.org%2F&rct=j&q=linux+kernels&ei=viGHS8HpNZ_-0gSR3enJCw&usg=AFQjCNFPaa5XvQVvUcRBRRoUKOTIkQOvdQbut is your own responsability | 01:20 |
| Viking667 | three years might be a bit of an overstatement, maybe two. | 01:20 |
| jolaren | Typos_King, Hehe, it's not connected wrong | 01:20 |
| Gstar | http://www.kernel.org/ | 01:20 |
| Viking667 | the 2.6.28 worked fine with 9.04, as you'd expect. But when I'm trying to use it with 9.10, it simply stops dead, and I've no idea why. | 01:21 |
| Typos_King | jolaren: so...you want to check the cpu fan from ... the screen? .....k | 01:21 |
| Gstar | its 9.10 aqnd is not lts | 01:21 |
| Viking667 | When it DID ever boot up, then none of the normal /dev/input stuff was in /dev/input, it was all in /dev. Ditto /dev/snd, and card0 wasn't in /dev/dri | 01:22 |
| jolaren | Typos_King, No, no.. I believe there's somesort of kernel error or something. The errors do not occure while in windows etc | 01:22 |
| jolaren | It complains about ACPI in dmesg Typos_King | 01:22 |
| pw-toxic | does someone know an easy solution, how to to tell my server, that requests to a certain domain should be handled lokally? | 01:23 |

| Gstar | viking a few tips stick with long term supported distos and dont do upgrades only fresh installs | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | jolaren..... it might be the acpi module... you can turn it off I gather, if it gives you hassle, not sure how that'd work for the poweroff feature.... but it gave me issues in 9.1 and I booted with acpi=off argument, and with that, it worked fine, just needed to power down using the power button :) | 01:23 |

| Viking667 | install _what_ on your 9.10 machine? | 01:24 |
| Gstar | you will have to manually shut off | 01:24 |
| jolaren | Typos_King, I see.. will have a look | 01:24 |
| Typos_King | right, that's what I did | 01:25 |
| mistere357 | I have an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server that I need to upgrade to 8.04 LTS. It's a colo server so I cannot see a GUI. The instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades ) say to install "update-manager-core" and then run it from a terminal. If I do that will it prompt me before actually making the changes? | 01:25 |

| Viking667 | another thing: a compiled 2.6.30-10 works fine, but with the same issues I mentioned in /dev | 01:27 |
| Spokes | trying to get network connectivity with Ubuntu running inside VMWare | 01:27 |
| Gstar | use the older kernel then | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | bjhaid... termcap.. wha? how old is the machine? | 01:28 |
| Gstar | linux is not windows just because something is upgraded you dont have to use it | 01:28 |
| Viking667 | I really want to find out (1) why 2.6.28 doesn't boot up past a certain stage, and why I don't get my devices appearing in the correct spot on anything but 2.6.31 | 01:28 |
| kaji | Hey, how do I add a folder to my executable path? | 01:28 |
| Viking667 | PATH=$PATH:/path/to/other/folder | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | kaji ^ | 01:29 |
| Viking667 | then export PATH | 01:29 |
| kaji | export path? | 01:29 |
| Gstar | probably because 2.6.28 is not a valid ip internally or externally | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | kaji: you can add that line in your ~/.bashrc file | 01:29 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: ....? what? | 01:29 |
| Nitsuga | Viking667, kaji, you can export and set a variable at the same time with export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/other/folder | 01:29 |
| Viking667 | I'm talking about kernel versions, not IP | 01:29 |
| Viking667 | yes, you can. But I'm used to working with sh as well as bash. | 01:30 |
| Gstar | oh kernel version | 01:30 |
| Viking667 | *sigh* | 01:30 |
| Gstar | stick to the one that works | 01:30 |
| kaji | so, can I sudo gedit ~/.bashrc ? | 01:30 |
| Viking667 | but it DOESN'T work! It keeps torpedoing my 3D programs. | 01:30 |
| kassykillerface | can someone helpme diagnos my ,icrophone | 01:30 |
| kassykillerface | *microphone | 01:31 |
| enav | Say hello hello testing | 01:31 |
| Typos_King | kaji: don't need to sudo to your own files, just to the sytem ones | 01:31 |
| Gstar | viking usae the older kernel then | 01:31 |
| Gstar | simples | 01:31 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: gah. It doesn't BOOT UP!!! | 01:31 |
| Viking667 | well, the kernel itself boots, but the Ubuntu system gets pissy with it or something. | 01:32 |
| Gstar | I bet it would if someone who knew what they where doing | 01:32 |
| Viking667 | And I don't know how to get it to cough up what stage it stops at. | 01:32 |
| VTSkeptic | Kaji, as long as you havd rights to do soe assigne | 01:32 |
| Viking667 | Yeah, so do I bet that. | 01:32 |
| kaji | So, just add the path=blahblah at the bottom of.bashrc? | 01:32 |
| Viking667 | I may end up doing breadcrumbing just to get what I want. | 01:32 |
| airtonix | kaji, no | 01:32 |
| kaji | <- linux noob | 01:33 |
| airtonix | kaji, bashrc only loads when you run a terminal after you login | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | heehe | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | there's .bash_profile, .profile and .bashrc | 01:33 |
| Lewy | hi, how should I properly fix damaged root lvm ext4 partition? (Ubuntu Server 9.10). I tried recovery mode once and got full lost+found. Is it so badly damaged or caused by running fsck.ext3 on ext4? I may try again as it's EXSi server and I have a snapshot. | 01:33 |
| kaji | ack | 01:33 |
| Gstar | so vikingnwhat is your boot error | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | PATH normally goes into .profile or .bash_profile | 01:33 |
| airtonix | kaji, you want : ~/.profile | 01:33 |
| kassykillerface | i cant get my microphone to work? | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: simple. It stops. | 01:33 |
| kassykillerface | can someone help? | 01:33 |
| UltimateMacUser1 | I'm having a bit of a problem. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 PPC on my G4 PowerBook. When i try to run the "Ubuntu Software Center" and install something, i just sits there with the message "Waiting for other software manager to quit". Problem is, i haven't got any other package or software manager running. | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | I can reboot, of course. Three fingered salute works properly. | 01:33 |
| kaji | k, well, I need to add a folder to the path so a script contained within runs on boot | 01:33 |
| VTSkeptic | Kassykillerface, check your alsamixer | 01:34 |
| airtonix | kaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables | 01:34 |
| safe | Is it possible to install Bmpanel2? | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | .... I added a PATH line at the end of ~/.bashrc and works not only in the terminal :| | 01:34 |
| kassykillerface | where would i find the alsamixer? | 01:34 |
| Viking667 | it's a program | 01:34 |
| Viking667 | type it in at a terminal. | 01:34 |
| kassykillerface | in what menu, its not in my sound menu\ | 01:35 |
| Gstar | we dont support windows viking 3 finger sulute? | 01:35 |
| Viking667 | If you don't have it, then you'll need to find out what package it comes in. | 01:35 |
| airtonix | kaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 01:35 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: linux supports shutting down if you use Ctl-Alt-Delete | 01:35 |
| joeblob | hmmm... why do wireless nodes on my WRT54G only transfer at 10mbps? | 01:35 |
| VTSkeptic | <kassykillerface> Goto to a terminal and typoe alsamixer | 01:35 |
| Viking667 | ittakes it as a signal to either reboot or halt, depending on a system setting. | 01:35 |
| Gstar | not the same though | 01:35 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: hm? | 01:36 |
| teratorn | anyone have a clue why my netbook's keyboard's CAPS key generates "keycode 66 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)", while the CAPS key on an external USB keyboard generates "keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock)"... same keycode different keysym WTF? | 01:36 |
| Gstar | speak in linux terms | 01:36 |
| teratorn | i want both caps keys to generate ESC | 01:36 |
| airtonix | Typos_King, because you opened the terminal before you tested that it works elsewhere, therefore var exists now | 01:36 |
| Viking667 | I've heard plenty of Linuxheads use that term too. | 01:36 |
| safe | CMake can't find X11 when trying to install Bmpanel2, how come? | 01:36 |
| Viking667 | safe: did you install the header files? | 01:36 |
| Gstar | well just ghet on with it lol | 01:36 |
| Viking667 | for Xorg? | 01:36 |
| kassykillerface | in alsamixer, there is no volume control for the mic. the place is marked but there is no vlume leel indicater | 01:36 |
| Viking667 | kassykillerface: hit tab. Watch what happens to the display | 01:37 |
| safe | Viking667: Maybe not. Which are they? | 01:37 |
| Viking667 | then hit tab aain | 01:37 |
| Viking667 | safe: hang on a mo. I'll find out. | 01:37 |
| safe | Viking667: Greatly apprieciated. | 01:37 |
| coolkehon | how do i backup the list of installed programs | 01:38 |
| Gstar | linux does not need the 3 fingers the noob versions have it | 01:38 |
| Typos_King | coolkehon: the list as in plain text list? orthe bunch of .deb files you downloaded? | 01:39 |
| Gstar | try a crtl alt del in mandrake | 01:39 |
| xangua | coolkehon: open synaptic and export the list | 01:39 |
| Viking667 | Might be xserver-xorg-dev, but I'm confirming that | 01:39 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: does the same thing. | 01:39 |
| kaji | So, I haven't gotten a hard answer. if I add the path=blahblah line to my ~/.profile file, will it enable the script I have in the folder I need to add to path to run on boot? | 01:39 |
| Gstar | mandrake not mandriva | 01:39 |
| coolkehon | Typos_King: i want to make a script i guess so that i can reinstall everything. i don't think i can remember everything i have installed atm | 01:39 |
| Viking667 | my apologies, the package is libx11-dev | 01:39 |
| safe | Viking667: Thanks! | 01:40 |
| Gstar | and that was the easy disto back in the days | 01:40 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: For mandrake, I believe the behaviour was the same. I haven't run it since 10.2 thoug, when they changed over to Mandriva | 01:40 |
| Typos_King | kaji: I'd say the answer is, add it to ~/.profile that gets executed upon loading, as airtonix pointed out, yes I do have a console open hehee, so | 01:40 |
| LuisfernandoGnu | HOLA | 01:40 |
| Viking667 | I am still running 2009.1 now. | 01:40 |

| LuisfernandoGnu | HOW CAN I CONNECT TO ANNOTHER CHANNEL | 01:41 |

| Typos_King | coolkehon: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ <--- maybe is for you :) | 01:41 |
| mistere357 | rww: the do-release-upgrade program told me what I needed to know. Thanks. | 01:41 |

| dromar | Hello, I have a question about putty, if I use it to connect on my computer with ssh, will I be able to use auto-completion, coloration syntaxe etc... like a real unix terminal ? | 01:43 |
| greezmunkey | AptonCD rocks... | 01:43 |
| zagabar | I am getting an annoying error. The error is this: http://pallkars.net/~uploader/uploads/shot.PNG And I get it when adding the table rule "iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE". This don't mess up ampache, websites, ftp, ssh nor any other service that I have noticed except squirrelmail and thunderbird. I can still access the mail with mutt via ssh though. Some guy told me that this is probably an IMAP problem and I have dovecot 1.1.11. I am running | 01:43 |
| anarki2004 | so if I have a guest account set up, and somebody runs a string of malicious code from within a terminal without root access, can they still cause problems for my computer, or only for that user? | 01:43 |
| Gstar | dromar as long as its your ssh history | 01:43 |
| GeminiDomino | I've got a 5 button ("7 button" according to X. Wheel mouse with 2 side buttons) mouse. It seems to be detected fine, but the default actions for the side button are back and forward. While some people might like that, it's driving me nuts since I keep hitting the side buttons accidentally against the edge of my keyboard. Is there a way to reassign the action of those buttons? Google mostly just tells me how to get it detected (which | 01:44 |
| GeminiDomino | it already is). | 01:44 |

| Gstar | ^^ | 01:45 |
| GeminiDomino | Gstar: I do... why? | 01:45 |
| Gstar | because thats the one thing its good at | 01:45 |
| bigtom21485 | alright i cant get virtuagirl hd to run properly | 01:45 |
| GeminiDomino | I mean why tell me that? I'm not talking about gaming | 01:45 |
| GeminiDomino | I just want to change what the buttons do. | 01:46 |
| anarki2004 | bigtom21485: you serious? | 01:46 |
| Gstar | your asking about config for a gaming pad no? | 01:46 |

| GeminiDomino | No. For a mouse. | 01:46 |
| DarkSpirit | How can I install Ubuntu from the network? | 01:46 |
| anarki2004 | bigtom21485: pretty sure thats a windows app. you might be able to slap something together with wine, but I wouldn't know where to start. | 01:47 |
| Gstar | games are programmed for windows | 01:47 |
| Viking667 | Gstar: hey dude. He's asking how to disable two mouse buttons. | 01:47 |
| greg__ | Hey, Im having trouble with my webcam... it does not work. can someone help me? | 01:47 |
| Viking667 | Nothing to do with games, windows or otherwise. | 01:47 |
| raj | Gstar what the hell? the guy is asking how to make his mouse's 7th button not do anything. | 01:47 |
| Gstar | the thing with wine your gonna need higher spec than to run on windows | 01:47 |
| anarki2004 | greg__: did ubuntu find any drivers for your webcam? | 01:47 |
| GeminiDomino | I mean, I guess in the worst case I could edit the xorg.conf and disable the two buttons entirely, but if I could remap them instead that would be better | 01:48 |
| greg__ | nope anarki2004 | 01:48 |
| Gstar | trust me windows for gaming I hate the os | 01:48 |
| anarki2004 | greg__: have you looked around for drivers that support your model webcam? | 01:48 |
| greg__ | ya i cant find | 01:48 |
| Gstar | but I keep it for gamng | 01:48 |
| Viking667 | GeminiDomino: Personally, I'd suggest either switching sides with the mouse, (i.e. mouse on left hand side) or disable in xorg.conf | 01:48 |
| raj | GeminiDomino go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto | 01:48 |
| dsnyders | Where does x get its default setup when there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 01:49 |

| joeblob | it's the slow file transfer that is telling me that it's less | 01:56 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, i think you are confusing terms | 01:56 |
| joeblob | which terms would those be? | 01:56 |
| ki4cgp | joeblob, that is the difference between 54 Mbits/sec and 8Mbytes/sec | 01:56 |

| kaji | :< | 01:56 |
| greg__ | viking667 it says by-id by-path | 01:56 |
| joeblob | yes | 01:56 |
| joeblob | I realize that | 01:56 |
| Viking667 | Ah huh. | 01:56 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, and you get 8 mega BYTES | 01:57 |
| joeblob | which is why I expected I would be transferring faster than 8mbps | 01:57 |
| Viking667 | But no /dev/video is there. I'm wondering about drivers. | 01:57 |
| joeblob | no... | 01:57 |
| joeblob | I get more like 1 mega BYTES | 01:57 |
| joeblob | when I should be getting 8 | 01:57 |
| Nitsuga | ohhhh | 01:57 |
| FloodBot1 | joeblob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:57 |
| Viking667 | in that terminal, quit out of the "less": use the q key. | 01:57 |

| greg__ | ok | 01:57 |
| AHelper2 | wow.. pastebin a conversation? | 01:57 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, are you using scp/sftp/ssh for transfer? | 01:57 |
| Viking667 | darn. I've just had a goldfish moment. | 01:57 |
| joeblob | someone mentioned that since I'm using it as a gateway for WAN that it's limited to the bus speed of 10mbps | 01:57 |
| Viking667 | ah yes. | 01:58 |
| dsnyders | Viking667, a goldfish moment??? | 01:58 |
| joeblob | do I need to bridge two WRT54Gs together in WDS to get 54mbps on LAN? | 01:58 |
| Viking667 | Do you know how to start a browser, and to get to http://pastebin.ca/ ? | 01:58 |
| joeblob | Nitsuga: yes | 01:58 |
| bigtom21485 | anybody know why virtualgirl hd wouldnt work with wine on ubuntu 9.10? | 01:58 |
| airtonix | Viking667, we dont support goldfish here. | 01:58 |
| Viking667 | dsnyders: yeah. I thought of something to tell greg. three seconds later, I'd forgotten what it was. | 01:58 |
| joeblob | because virtualgirl is naughty | 01:58 |
| airtonix | bigtom21485, google : winehq virtualgirl | 01:58 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, that may be the problem. Maybe the source or dest. pc are using too much cpu and tthe scp process can't encrypt and decrypt at an acceptable rate | 01:58 |
| greg__ | Viking667 - any ideas for me? | 01:58 |
| dsnyders | Viking667, Ah! | 01:58 |

| VTSkeptic | What the hell is virtual girl? | 01:59 |
| joeblob | Nitsuga: it happens with Samba transfers as well... I think it's because I'm using my WRT54g as a WAN gateway | 01:59 |
| dsnyders | VTSkeptic, google it. | 01:59 |
| greg__ | ok Viking667 | 01:59 |
| anarki2004 | VTSkeptic: pr0n for your desktop | 01:59 |

| VTSkeptic | Thanks | 01:59 |
| Viking667 | Give us back the number it gives you. | 01:59 |
| airtonix | joeblob, if you are having encrypted wifi then you will not achieve max speed | 02:00 |

| joeblob | it is using WEP... but will it really make the difference between 8mbps and 54mbps? | 02:00 |
| AHelper2 | Anyone know the devel package of alsa is? (alsa/asoundlib.h) | 02:00 |
| Viking667 | joeblob: my suggestion? Don't use WEP. Use WPA/2 instead (or whatever it's called) | 02:01 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, not if you use AES encryption. | 02:01 |
| * AHelper2 uses no encryption because neighbors like it that way XD | 02:01 | |
| anarki2004 | bigtom21485: i don't know any reason why wine couldn't support VirtuaGirlHD, but I don't know how to make it do said action | 02:01 |
| Nitsuga | joeblob, use WPA/2 with AEES encryption to get 1) better security (in fact WEP can be cracked in 10 seconds) and better speed | 02:01 |
| kaji | How do I make my touchscreen initialize in the loginscreen? I have it working AFTER login just fine, nextstep is to get it working at boot | 02:01 |
| joeblob | ok | 02:02 |
| ki4cgp | joeblob, my apologies. those are my transfer speeds using cat-5. Over wifi, it does pretty much stink. | 02:02 |
| Viking667 | libasound2-dev | 02:03 |
| Viking667 | That's for AHelper2 | 02:03 |
| kassykillerface | huh? | 02:03 |
| kassykillerface | no luck still no input devices | 02:03 |
| AHelper2 | Thanks, you saved me from compiling alsa in addition to openal! | 02:04 |
| Viking667 | <grin> | 02:04 |
| kassykillerface | alsamixergui still only has master and capture | 02:04 |
| aziz_ | ! | 02:04 |
| Viking667 | oooohhh. | 02:04 |
| Viking667 | It'll be using pulse as a back end. Shyte. | 02:04 |
| kassykillerface | ? | 02:05 |
| Viking667 | I can't help there, sorry. | 02:05 |
| ShadowKnight | hey, i was wondering. if my xorg.conf file isnt preconfigured how can you change that to make it read your hardware? | 02:05 |
| Dracovoltard | ONE MOAR PERSON JOIN | 02:05 |

| Dracovoltard | Yes, there's 1337 number of people :D | 02:05 |
| Dracovoltard | http://grab.by/2GIV | 02:05 |
| Viking667 | kassykillerface: I'm betting your alsamixer gui thinks it's talking to pulse. | 02:05 |
| kassykillerface | how do i get it to not? | 02:06 |
| Viking667 | uhm, that bit I don't know. I rather hate pulseaudio myself, but can't find a way of removing it without wrecking other things too. | 02:06 |
| Viking667 | yeah. PulseAudio is a sound driver that's supposed to take over from the ALSA project. I don't find it does a stellar job. | 02:07 |
| Viking667 | I don't frankly know what you can do. | 02:07 |
| Kardos | join the pulseaudio dev and fix the problems | 02:07 |
| Nitsuga | Viking667, Pulseaudio is great | 02:07 |
| Kardos | i always hear people saying how much pulse audio sucks, but nobody ever specific as to what the bug is that needs fixing | 02:08 |
| Nitsuga | is great now that it is working :D | 02:08 |
| hitek88 | Can anyone help me troubleshoot my ftp problem I am having. I installed vsftpd but netstat doesnt show that it is listening at all | 02:08 |
| raj | PULSEAUDIO SUCKS nothing BUT a PAIN on HDA laptop CARDS | 02:08 |
| Kardos | ^l | 02:08 |
| Kardos | like that | 02:08 |
| Nitsuga | Viking667, for example you can set different volume to different applications | 02:08 |
| hitek88 | I am not able to ftp even locally to the server | 02:08 |
| Nitsuga | Viking667, Also Pulse solves the remote desktop sound problems | 02:09 |
| raj | Kardos, pulseaudio does not allow me to play more than 1 source of sound at a time. i have to restart each application sperately. i use dto use asound on ubuntu 9.04 but now asound is gone with ubuntu 9.10 | 02:09 |
| kaji | How do I make my touchscreen initialize in the loginscreen? I have it working AFTER login just fine, nextstep is to get it working at boot | 02:09 |
| Kardos | this is not the case for me, i just tested it, mplayer and amarok | 02:10 |
| Kardos | interesting problem though, bug report??? :) | 02:10 |
| raj | Kardos: its a known bug is you serach pulseaudio flash and media player problem not allowing more than 1 source | 02:10 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, if you are using a command you can make a script in /etc/init.d/ and use update-rc.d (see the man) to make it start with the system | 02:10 |
| Kardos | so its a flash problem? | 02:11 |
| Viking667 | For me, pulseaudio is still occasionally choppy. And the weird thing is, I don't know what causes the choppiness. | 02:11 |
| kassykillerface | does anyone else think they can help me with getting my microphone to work? | 02:11 |
| jeremy | Okay. | 02:11 |
| AHelper2 | I will take a stab at it | 02:11 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest64398 | ||
| AHelper2 | let me find the name of this app... | 02:12 |
| kaji | nitsuga: I have a perlscript in ,y /etc/$user/bin file, set to execute on login as a startup program. will that work with what you said (and can you give me a bit more walkthroughness on how to do it?) | 02:12 |
| reso | hi | 02:12 |
| reso | Do you know a program who can automatically record an input of soudcard with scheduled auto delete time and with severals options of record? | 02:12 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, yes! it will | 02:12 |
| kassykillerface | ok here is a new symptom | 02:12 |
| AHelper2 | Anyone know what gst-mixer is in ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| kaji | nitsuga: so I just move the .pl into /init.d/ and then what? | 02:13 |
| johnnyq | i was trying to update ubuntu to the newest version today and my laptop powered off during the install. i've got shell access now, but nothing would really mount. can someone help me out? | 02:13 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, the pl file will not work in init.d | 02:13 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: Oh :< what do I do then? | 02:13 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, make a text file in /etc/init.d with the following line: case $1 in; start) /path/to/pl; done | 02:14 |
| AHelper2 | gstreamer-tools.... | 02:14 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, hey! there is a better and easier way | 02:15 |
| song_sun | /etc/rc.local | 02:15 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: Oh? | 02:16 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, just realized: you can just add /path/to/pl in /etc/rc.local and mark that file as executable | 02:16 |
| johnnyq | anybody, please? | 02:16 |
| brjann | johnnyq, what was it doing when the power failed? | 02:16 |
| jolaren | I have a webhotel which I have my mailserver hosted at.. it's my surname.se. Now I have also registrered my surname.nu. My surname.nu domain is pointed to my ubuntu server which I have here at home. I wonder if I can setup some lamp server or something just to make sure all adresses pointed to the .nu adress gets pointed to the .se adress | 02:16 |
| Nitsuga | johnnyq, you can try sudo aptitude install | 02:17 |
| tliebeck | My hard drive may be dying....I'm thinking about grabbing the cheap Intel X25 SSD (40GB) as a replacement just for the OS and home dir, I take it this will be no problem for Karmic? | 02:17 |

| gooooo | does anyone know how to kill a running xorg session | 02:27 |
| Nitsuga | gooooo, sudo stop gdm | 02:27 |
| Nitsuga | gooooo, or sudo stop kdm if you use kde | 02:28 |
| gooooo | thanks | 02:28 |
| Serraphyn | Hi, I was wondering if wine the only options for running window games in ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Nitsuga | gooooo, it will kill all xorg sessions | 02:28 |
| gooooo | kde is junk but the licence got better | 02:28 |
| airtonix | Nitsuga, sudo service gdm stop | 02:28 |
| gooooo | i tried init 3 but it had no effect on mint | 02:28 |
| gooooo | brb | 02:28 |
| Nitsuga | airtonix, since Karmic you can use sudo stop gdm | 02:28 |
| Serraphyn | gooooo: you could also ps aux | grep xorg | 02:28 |
| airtonix | Serraphyn, yes and #winehq is where you ask those questions | 02:28 |
| Nitsuga | gooooo, if you don't want xorg add text to the kernel boot line | 02:28 |
| Serraphyn | gooooo: then do kill -9 pid | 02:28 |
| Serraphyn | airtonix: I don't really think #winehq is the place to ask about software other then wine asI had asked | 02:29 |
| kassykillerface | I GOT INPUT!! | 02:29 |
| Nitsuga | Serraphyn, gdm would respawn itself | 02:29 |
| anarki2004 | w00t?! | 02:29 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, no? | 02:29 |
| Serraphyn | Nitsuga: his question was about killing xorg server not stopping gdm though | 02:30 |
| airtonix | Serraphyn, you are asking about running windows software on linux, your options are wine, wine, wine, or install windows... | 02:30 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: Nope. I'm wondering if I did something wrong with referencing the .pl | 02:30 |
| Nitsuga | Serraphyn, yeah, but in most cases Xorg is running by gdm | 02:30 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, does the path contain any spaces? | 02:30 |
| kaji | I really should be taking notes cause I can't remember what it was I was editing >.> | 02:30 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, /etc/rc.local | 02:30 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, if the path has spaces you need to "quote" it | 02:31 |
| kraetzja | is there a way to see where grub is getting its menu?? | 02:31 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: currently it's stpored in my home/kaji/etc/bin folder | 02:31 |
| kaji | should probably put it somewhere better | 02:31 |
| kraetzja | i dont have a menu.lst that i can find | 02:31 |
| airtonix | Serraphyn, you could use a virtual machine, and then the questions about the vm would apply here... | 02:31 |

| Claptrap | Hello, oh gods of the Linuxverse. | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bismark | guys i have a problem with my screen resolution, just is available 800x600 I have desktop effects activated, I think the problem is my monitor | 02:32 |
| Serraphyn | airtonix: to bad VMs don't support playing games. some boast 3d rendering but I've not found one that actually has a 3d video card for dx7/9 games | 02:32 |
| Nitsuga | Claptrap, lol | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bismark | ubuntu says monitor unknown | 02:33 |
| Claptrap | Humbly I kneel before thee and present myself to your... whatever it is you do when you help us lesser idiots. :| | 02:33 |
| Claptrap | Ministrations! I was looking for ministrations! | 02:33 |
| Mr_Bismark | in display settings | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | Mr_Bismark: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution not sure about that monitor unknown part | 02:33 |
| Claptrap | So. | 02:33 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: it's in there as /home/kaji/bin/tablet6.en.pl | 02:33 |
| Claptrap | A quick summary. | 02:33 |
| kaji | which is exactly the path to the pl | 02:33 |
| Claptrap | IO | 02:33 |
| viejotren | hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu using an usb flash drive, in fact, i used unetbootin to put correctly the iso file inside my usb, the problem is when i'm in the installation process that is always requesting for a cd drive, so, my question is, how the installation would know that it has to look for the necessary files in my usb instead of a cd drive? | 02:34 |
| airtonix | Serraphyn, then your have two options, one of which is best discussed in #winehq | 02:34 |
| Claptrap | I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 9.10 via Unetbootin on a LiveCD. | 02:34 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, mm that sould work | 02:34 |
| Claptrap | LiveCD ISO* | 02:34 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, you need to run that with sudo? | 02:34 |
| airtonix | Serraphyn, the other you can try to compete with the boasting occuring in #windows | 02:34 |
| Serraphyn | Anyone ever get sharepoint with d-links working with ubuntu? I have a usb hdd on it that I share with windows machines on network but would like to acess it on linux. | 02:34 |
| Claptrap | It seems to be installing correctly, however, I can't access GRUB when I boot from the HDD that contains the Linux partition. | 02:35 |
| AHelper2 | YAY! I fixed my sound issues in a record 4 hours! That beat my personal best of 4 months! | 02:35 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: Not that I know of. It runs at login as a startup program so I don't see anything that should prevent it from running at boot | 02:35 |
| Serraphyn | airtonix: boasting about what? I tried it in windows and linux, no VM software I have found mkaes decent 3d rendering yet. | 02:35 |
| Claptrap | I -can- see GRUB if I boot from the OTHER HDD in the PC, but then it doesn't present Ubuntu as a boot optioon. | 02:35 |
| Claptrap | I am flummoxed, frustrated, and generally pissed off. | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Claptrap: then take a step back, relax and come back to it later :) | 02:36 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, mmm maybe it needs to run as you user. | 02:36 |
| Claptrap | I have. :p A couple of times, now. | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | hehe | 02:36 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, can you send me the file? Just to check how it works | 02:36 |
| viejotren | claptrap, maybe you installed grub in the mbr of the other hdd | 02:36 |
| viejotren | maybe it's missing the right path to ubuntu} | 02:36 |
| brjann | Claptrap, by "can't access grub" do you mean the BIOS complains about no operating system being found or the like? | 02:36 |
| Claptrap | I've been Googling like a lunatic and trying to figure this out, but to no real avail. | 02:36 |
| Claptrap | brjann, no, I just get the normal Windows bootloader. | 02:37 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: http://samengstrom.com/nxl/7977/tablet6.en.pl | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | With no Ubuntu option. | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | viejotren, how would I fix that? | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | Sorry | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | Forgot to mention | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | Trying to dual boot with 7 | 02:37 |
| Claptrap | On the same HDD as Ubuntu. | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | Claptrap: see !dualboot IIRC there is a section on Vista/Ubuntu | 02:37 |
| viejotren | i don't know if win7 is always trying toi be the first os, vista does that | 02:38 |
| Claptrap | I've looked at quite a few different dualbooting things, too. | 02:38 |
| viejotren | claptrap, do you have 2 hdds? | 02:38 |
| brjann | Claptrap, what's on the second HD? that does show grub with no ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | !dualboot | Claptrap how about this one? | 02:38 |

| IdleOne | the first link | 02:38 |
| Serraphyn | Whats the apt-get command to remove packages you installed? | 02:38 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, this is why i hate perl. It's unreadable! it's everything like \n$o\t";# . Anyway I undestand it and it needs to run as your own user in your own screen. Making it work in gdm will be tricky. | 02:38 |
| Claptrap | Yeah, I have two HDDs. The second one is just storage. | 02:39 |
| Claptrap | It has some Vista remnants on it. | 02:39 |
| viejotren | claptrpa: did you installed ubuntu in the first one? | 02:39 |
| brjann | Claptrap, i agree with viejotren, sounds like you installed grub on the wrong drive | 02:39 |
| Claptrap | Lemme look on that link | 02:39 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: That sounds distressingly like something far out of my expertise | 02:39 |
| Claptrap | Yeah, I've looked at that page before. | 02:40 |
| vlad003 | Serraphyn: sudo apt-get purge or sudo apt-get remove | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | Claptrap: I have to agree with viejotren also | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | That sounds... ridiculously simple. | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | lol | 02:40 |
| Serraphyn | vlad003: thanks | 02:40 |
| brjann | Claptrap, try reading through this: the problem is essentially the same. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | Read that. | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | :p | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | That has come up at | 02:40 |
| tliebeck | gvfsd is only used for virtual filesystems correct...i.e. killing it should not result in issues with permanently mounted fs'es? | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | the top of every Google I've done so far. | 02:40 |
| Claptrap | lol | 02:41 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, in other words only the current working user can run it. So it won't work if it is run before gdm. | 02:41 |
| brjann | Claptrap, and you went through it? | 02:41 |
| Claptrap | Yeah. | 02:41 |
| tliebeck | I had a situation where my / and /home FSes went read-only. | 02:42 |
| Claptrap | Lemme take another look, remember what specifically I tried. | 02:42 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, removew it from /etc/rc.local to avoid trouble | 02:42 |
| Claptrap | I tried theeeeee | 02:42 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: that's ok, not a huge deal ti twiddle the nipple slightly to select alogin name is gonna be a huge deal. *hates nipplemice* | 02:42 |
| viejotren | claptrap, I will tell you what i did when i was in your situation | 02:42 |
| Claptrap | sudo grub-install thingy. | 02:42 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, I don't know a way to run something as gdm process. Sorry :( | 02:42 |
| Nitsuga | kaji, if you don't mind about it you can set an autologin | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | autologins are handy :) | 02:43 |
| tliebeck | oh well, one way to find out...testing bye all. | 02:43 |
| viejotren | claptrpa: if you can't boot inside the installation process again | 02:43 |
| Mack | What is the channel for php development? | 02:43 |
| Mack | its not #php :/ | 02:43 |
| Claptrap | Well, I imagine you're right. I've actually been thinking about trying exactly what you're saying, but I gather I have to defrag the second HDD, since it shows that I can't resize the partition. | 02:43 |
| kaji | Nitsuga: it's ok, as I said, won't be a huge imposition to twiddle the nipple a bit at login. thanks though! | 02:43 |
| Claptrap | And that's generally a longish process. :< | 02:43 |
| Claptrap | ...I read twiddle the nipple. | 02:44 |
| brjann | Claptrap, whoa whoa, why resizing partitions? | 02:44 |
| viejotren | claptrap: use a live cd based distros | 02:44 |
| viejotren | mount your partition | 02:44 |
| viejotren | and then do: | 02:44 |
| Claptrap | The second HDD is fully partitioned for the entire space | 02:44 |
| Mack | join #php5 | 02:44 |
| viejotren | chroot /media/tourpart | 02:44 |
| viejotren | grub-install hd0 | 02:44 |
| Claptrap | That looks frightening. Wassat do? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | frighting? grub installs to hd0 | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | in theory :) | 02:45 |
| repo_ | hi | 02:45 |
| brjann | Claptrap, there's nothing wrong with that. grub lives in the master boot record (MBR) of the drive. it just sounds like you have the windows bootloader in the MBR you want grub in. | 02:45 |
| Claptrap | Yea, I've been trying to get around that, to. | 02:46 |
| Claptrap | too* | 02:46 |
| Claptrap | I tried EasyBCD | 02:46 |
| Claptrap | To no real avail. | 02:46 |
| viejotren | claptrap, in fact if the installation of grub was succesfully the problem is in the menu.lst file | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: if you have 2 seperate hard drives one for each OS . You could put grub on the MBR of the linux drive amd tell the pc/bios to boot that 2nd hd. No touching of the windows drive. | 02:46 |
| Claptrap | Menu.lst is for original grub, right? | 02:46 |
| viejotren | you only needs to redirect to the right hdd | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | menu.lst for grub1 - grub2 (grub-pc) uses a different config setup. it has a grub.cfg i belive. | 02:47 |
| Claptrap | Yeah. My LiveCD has grub2 | 02:47 |
| viejotren | yes, i think you atre right, i'm still using grub | 02:47 |
| Claptrap | So, I guess what I really need to do | 02:47 |
| Claptrap | to simplify all this | 02:47 |
| Claptrap | Is to get Ubuntu installed on the HDD that DOES see grub, yes? | 02:48 |
| kaiser10123 | hey can someone help me get my msi wind u120 see my webcam | 02:48 |
| brjann | Claptrap, that would be a bit overkill I think. :) | 02:48 |
| Claptrap | Well, not really, at this point. I've already deleted and reinstalled it about ten times. | 02:49 |
| Claptrap | It is currently not installed. :p | 02:49 |
| Claptrap | Hell, I couldn't even manage to get Wubi working. | 02:49 |
| kaiser10123 | i am using wubi now | 02:49 |
| Claptrap | I have no idea what wrong there. | 02:50 |
| brjann | Claptrap, if your OS drive is /dev/sda, and your storage drive is /dev/sdb, and your bios is set to boot from the OS drive, all you should have to do is sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 02:50 |
| Claptrap | See | 02:50 |
| Claptrap | I think I tried that | 02:50 |
| Claptrap | And it didn't help | 02:50 |
| Claptrap | That looks familiar. | 02:50 |
| nirel | hi guys. | 02:50 |
| viejotren | claptrap, when you boot the pc, and choose ubuntu, what is the message? | 02:50 |
| Claptrap | I did this | 02:51 |
| Claptrap | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda | 02:51 |
| Claptrap | There's no option for Ubuntu. | 02:51 |
| Claptrap | It never shows up. | 02:51 |
| viejotren | so, grub never found it | 02:51 |
| Claptrap | Either in Windows Boot Manager or GRUB when I booted from the second HDD | 02:51 |
| brjann | Claptrap, hm. have you tried holding down shift while it's booting? if grub is installed, that will force the menu to display | 02:51 |
| Claptrap | Yeah, I tried that on the main HDD. No go. | 02:52 |
| brjann | Claptrap, maybe it's there but it can't see ubuntu, so it just boots windows. | 02:52 |
| brjann | Claptrap, wow. :) | 02:52 |
| Claptrap | ;D | 02:52 |
| Claptrap | The good side of not being an idiot is that I'm not an idiot. | 02:52 |
| Claptrap | The bad side is that when I come up with a problem | 02:52 |
| brjann | Claptrap, how about sudo update-grub2? | 02:52 |
| Claptrap | It's usually REALLY fun. | 02:52 |
| brjann | I know how you feel. | 02:53 |
| Claptrap | Now that, I never tried. Will that work from a LiveCD? | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: is linux on the 2nd and Just on the 2nd hd? ie: windows soley on the first hd. and linux totally on the 2nd hd? | 02:53 |
| bitbaud | hi anyone know how i can make a usb stick windows install drive from within linux? | 02:53 |
| brjann | Claptrap, perhaps? You might have to point it at the right drive. let me look | 02:53 |
| Claptrap | No, I've not been able to install Linux on the second HDD. Ubuntu never gives me the option, and Windows Partition Manager won't let me shrink the second HDD partition. | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | bitbaud: thers guides online bout making a windows install usb stick. Ive no idea what tools they use. Or ask in #windows theymay know. | 02:53 |
| brand0n | anyone ever use the ps3 eye webcam in ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| brand0n | i can get the video working fine, but the sound seems to be a bit hard | 02:54 |
| brand0n | it shows up in the sound preferences as an input | 02:54 |
| brand0n | but i cant seem to get it working | 02:54 |
| brjann | Claptrap, yes, it should work from inside a livecd. | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: I alwyas defrag/scandisk and resize windows partitins from WITHIN windows - vista and higher has that feature. | 02:54 |
| Claptrap | Yeah, defrag was what I figured I needed to do, and yes, all my partitioning has been in Windows. | 02:55 |
| brjann | Claptrap, aiee, really? | 02:55 |
| ipanda | how can i set ctrl+- to make an ― ? | 02:55 |
| Claptrap | I was hoping to avoid trying a degrag, since those are never fast. | 02:55 |
| brjann | how did you set your linux partitions to be... linux? | 02:55 |
| Claptrap | I shrunk the main Windows partition on the primary HDD and Ubuntu took care of that. | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: so in windows. i resize and leave a lot of the 2nd hd Unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. If i want to be fancy. I infact Unplug the windows HD. so theres Just the 2nd hd. that way Linux and grub both totally go on the 2nd hd. | 02:55 |
| Claptrap | Or, I think it did, anyway. | 02:56 |
| brjann | Claptrap, oh, okay. Sorry, i thought you meant you'd created your ubuntu partitions from in windows. :) | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I find things work out much nicer if i keep linux and wndows totally seperate like that. | 02:56 |
| Claptrap | I know that Windows sees ext4 in partition manager afterwards. | 02:56 |
| Claptrap | But, since I've not actually seen the inside of my Ubuntu install yet... :p | 02:56 |
| brjann | hehe | 02:56 |
| ruconse | some guys know how to hace the password of .ods file? | 02:57 |
| Claptrap | And yeah, Dr_Willis, that's what I want to do. | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: id almost be tempted to tell you to remove the old install. and try to get windows all on one hd and linux on the 2nd hd.. via whatere means nesscary | 02:57 |
| Claptrap | But Partition Manager tells me there's zero space available to srhink by. | 02:57 |
| Claptrap | The old install IS gone. :p | 02:57 |
| === Guest11795 is now known as isp | ||
| Claptrap | I got frustrated and deleted the whole Linux partition and reattached it to Windows | 02:58 |
| Claptrap | 'cause I figured Wubi was a sure thing. | 02:58 |
| Claptrap | Turned out not to be. | 02:58 |
| Claptrap | :| | 02:58 |
| inertial | I'm running 9.04 right now... and I have the option to upgrade to 9.10. I thought you couldn't upgrade between .04 and .10 releases?? | 02:58 |
| inertial | if I upgrade to 9.10, will I be able to upgrade to 10.04 when it is released? | 02:58 |
| kraetzja | vmware seems to have evolved since i used it last. i wanna run windws 7 as a vm in ubuntu, what do i need? | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: i hate wubi. SO i never use it. Best bet is play with a live cd/gparted and windows partion tool and some how just dedicate the whole 2nd hd to linux. (set it to unallocated, and unplug the windows hd, and restart the installer) I think. | 02:59 |
| zetheroo | what does adding this option, nomodeset, do when added to the grub boot? | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | inertial: common FAQ. and the answer is Yes. | 02:59 |
| Claptrap | Yeah, I just need to defrag it, I guess. | 02:59 |
| kaiser10123 | does ubuntu 9.10 work well with netbook webcams | 02:59 |
| inertial | Dr_Willis: thanks | 02:59 |
| brjann | Claptrap, sorry I couldn't help out :) | 02:59 |
| nullp0inter | how can i remove everything up to and including 'impression.php?' in a text file for each line? | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Claptrap: i always resize in windows. So thats a given to do befor i try it. In fact i think the windows tools will tell you to do that and may in fact auto-do it. | 03:00 |
| Claptrap | Well, it didn't auto-do it, that much is sure. :p | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | good luck. Nioght | 03:00 |
| Claptrap | Thanks, you guys | 03:00 |
| Claptrap | Given me some thoughts, anyway. | 03:00 |
| Claptrap | And confirmed what I was trying to avoid. :E | 03:00 |

| nullp0inter | brjann: yea, i wasnt sure whther to use awk or sed, and even then i get confused | 03:01 |
| brjann | nullp0inter, if it's one line at a time i usually use sed. try | 03:02 |
| brjann | sed 's/^.*impression\.php\?//' filename | 03:02 |
| kaiser10123 | can someone help me get my netbook to see my webcam | 03:02 |
| Claptrap | I'm curious, though, since I'ma have nothing else to do for a bit | 03:02 |
| Claptrap | Any thoughts on why Wubi would just seemingly not work? | 03:03 |
| Claptrap | Like | 03:03 |
| Claptrap | I used the same ISO as for the other install | 03:03 |
| Claptrap | Wubi installs it | 03:03 |
| Claptrap | Reboots | 03:03 |
| teage | Ok, I just messed grub up. says i may need to re run my boot loader. Is there a way to correct grub possibly with say "aptitude"? | 03:03 |
| Claptrap | And then again, no option in Boot Manager. | 03:03 |
| nullp0inter | thanks brjann | 03:03 |

| dsnyders | brjann, After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 my X wasn't working properly. I was advised to delete it, at which point it started working at 800x600. When I put the previous xorg.conf back in place X stopped working again. | 03:22 |

| Lachance | wifiprob, Since you know your network card then don't worry about it. | 03:35 |

| dsnyders | Serraphyn, yes | 03:35 |
| greezmunkey | wifiprob, ok run iwconfig, see what you get... | 03:35 |

| craigbass1976 | I've an acer aspire 5517 laptop that has a number pad. Not sure why the two delete keys are right next to each other.. some overpaid engineer. Anyway, 1 is also End, depending on whether the numlock is on or not. Shift and End types 1 with numlock off. With it on, shift+end does as it should. What if I want to just use the end key though... | 03:47 |

| brjann | dsnyders, that was after you'd moved /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 03:58 |
| g00dwill | Anyone using vmware and Ubunut 9.1 had success with booting into single user mode? | 03:58 |
| Viking667 | Wish I knew why your apt-get doesn't know what the hostname is, even though the rest of your system does. | 03:58 |

| l000 | Viking667 : pls have a look at my resolv.conf http://pastebin.ca/1811272 | 04:00 |
| brjann | dsnyders, ok, i half-expected that if your system is in a state of weirdness w.r.t. nvidia drivers :) | 04:00 |
| brjann | dsnyders, try the Xorg -configure one? | 04:00 |
| l000 | Viking667 : in the last part which is sudo aptitude install w32codecs ... works find | 04:00 |
| Nooneshere | Does anyone know anything about conky? It won't work, I installed from repos | 04:00 |
| l000 | find/fine | 04:00 |
| dlynes | g00dwill, have you tried running 'sudo /sbin/init 1' from a window? | 04:01 |
| g00dwill | dlynes: my user is not in the sudo file. I'm locked out. | 04:01 |
| Viking667 | l000: may be because the hostname to grab those packages from, isn't packages.medibuntu.org | 04:01 |
| g00dwill | dlynes: probably need the install disk I'm thinking. | 04:01 |
| dsnyders | brjann, do you want me to erase the xorg.conf first and then do the Xorg -configure? | 04:02 |

| dlynes | g00dwill, why not boot up with a live cd, and then mount your existing hard drive, and then chroot it? | 04:04 |
| bob_ | can anyone help me out??? When i log in a warning comes up telling me I am being logged in without admin privalages?? | 04:04 |
| rynx | umbrellaz | 04:04 |
| dlynes | g00dwill, or better yet, if you have to redownload, just download debian netinstall, and mount and chroot | 04:04 |
| dlynes | g00dwill, change what you need to change, and then reboot back into the hard drive | 04:05 |
| Out_Cold_ | naidu, are you still looking for a solution? | 04:05 |
| dlynes | g00dwill, debian net install is only about 54MB's, and it gives you almost full console functionality | 04:05 |
| Serraphyn | dsnyders: did you do the sudo nvidia-xconfig? | 04:05 |
| dsnyders | Serraphyn, Yes and no. I did a sudo -i long ago since I'd be doing a lot of stuff that needed sudo. | 04:06 |

| bob_ | yes. for some reason all of a sudden when i log on it tells me i am logging on without admin priv. | 04:08 |
| markd | ?? | 04:08 |
| Out_Cold_ | !sudo | bob_ | 04:08 |
| ubottu | bob_: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 04:08 |
| brjann | dsnyders, haha, not quite there yet :) go ahead and rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf since we can recreate it if we need to and it's broken anyway | 04:08 |

| brjann | dsnyders, do not disparage ncurses! ;) | 04:10 |
| MilitantPotato | bob_: it's normal not to have root when you login | 04:10 |

| airtonix | Nooneshere, pastebin your conky rc | 04:11 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: You have to customize Conky for your computer. It's looking for things on the computer of whoever's Conky file you're using. | 04:11 |
| airtonix | Nooneshere, or is it standard ? | 04:11 |
| markd | it says ineed something called ndiswrapper how do i install this? | 04:11 |
| dsnyders | brjann, That was an Ooo of appreciation. I've been looking for something like that ever since the initial foulup. | 04:11 |
| ki4cgp | markd, yes. you can download the .deb file and move it over with USB stick. Just make sure you grab the right .deb | 04:12 |
| Nooneshere | I tried with standerd and with some from UbuntuForums. Here it is. http://pastebin.com/i77taXc5 | 04:12 |
| airtonix | markd, you could use synaptics delayed install feature | 04:12 |
| bob_ | yes but when i run sudo & command in term it tells me i cant | 04:12 |
| brjann | dsnyders, oh! happy to oblige :) let's hope it works | 04:12 |
| markd | ndiswrapper is not listed in synaptic | 04:12 |
| markd | where do i download it from? | 04:12 |
| bob_ | it asks my password & then tells me i dont have privalages | 04:13 |
| MilitantPotato | bob_: ah, not good. Go to user and group management, make sure you're in the sudoers group | 04:13 |
| airtonix | markd, 1) open synaptics 2) select packages to install 3) file -> generate download script 4) save to usb drive 5) move drive to internet connected machine 6a) if computer is linux : run script 6b) else copy paste each url you see in the script file (text file) and paste it to your browser 7) copy resulting deb files back to usb drive 8) plug back into your offline machine 9) file -> load files | 04:14 |
| brjann | dsnyders, here's a bit of a walkthrough if any of the steps look frightening. http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_fix_your_computers_graphics_with_dpkg-reconfigure | 04:14 |
| dlynes | littlebear, uck does the trick? it seemed like it was only for creating live cd's, not automated installs? | 04:14 |
| MilitantPotato | bob_: this is after you've logged in right? Is it allowing you to even login? | 04:14 |
| === techqbert_ is now known as techqbert | ||
| dlynes | littlebear, basically i was wanting to have an extremely trimmed down ubuntu that's a fully automated install | 04:14 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: You have to go through the .conkyrc file line by line and make sure all the paths and information in it are valid for your computer. | 04:14 |
| dlynes | littlebear, and then there's other certain packages i needed installed as well, including some restricted packages | 04:15 |
| Nooneshere | Thank you | 04:15 |
| bob_ | yes it lets me log in & everything seems fine untill i try running anything that neds priv. | 04:15 |
| airtonix | markd, ndiswrapper should be on your install cd... if not : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ | 04:15 |
| markd | @airtonix ndiswrapper is not listed in synaptic | 04:15 |

| dlynes | littlegirl, and then there's other certain packages i needed installed as well, including some restricted packages | 04:15 |
| markd | should i start from the cd and install it? | 04:15 |
| dsnyders | brjann, It asked me a bunch of questions about my keyboard and then finished. There is a new xorg.conf | 04:15 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, and some bash shell scripts i need to run as well | 04:15 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: What do you mean by automated installs? | 04:15 |
| bob_ | & yes it shows me in user & groups | 04:15 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, no interaction from the end user | 04:16 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: It will accept bash shell scripts. It's fully customizable. | 04:16 |
| firemoon | ide for web application | 04:16 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, just slap in a boot cd, and walk away | 04:16 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Not sure about that, but you can find out here: http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 04:16 |
| airtonix | markd, your install cd should already be a listed source, insert it and reload your repositry listing | 04:16 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Yep, that should be possible. | 04:16 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, maybe have about 50mb's worth of files on the cd, and the rest it grabs from the network | 04:16 |
| brjann | dsnyders, cross your fingers and sudo service gdm start | 04:17 |

| brjann | dsnyders, and you said you reinstalled the nvidia hardware drivers, right? | 04:19 |
| dsnyders | brjann, yes | 04:19 |
| markd | now how do i configure it? | 04:19 |
| airtonix | markd, you need the windows drivers for your wifi card first | 04:20 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: You shouldn't have to set up LAMP for Conky. | 04:20 |
| brjann | dsnyders, :( i'm about out of ideas | 04:20 |
| markd | i think i have the orgininal cd | 04:20 |
| markd | from linksys | 04:20 |
| Nooneshere | It keeps on wanting to find localhost via port 6600 | 04:21 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: What does your .conkyrc look like? | 04:21 |
| markd | ok so i have the cd | 04:21 |
| andre_pl | what does it mean for a package to be 'held back' when doing an upgrade? | 04:21 |
| airtonix | markd, the file ndiswrapper wants to look at is an *.inf file (but you'll need to have the related dll etc files with that inf file) | 04:21 |
| andre_pl | 'kept back' sorry | 04:21 |
| demonspork | how do I make my LCD monitor portrait landscape | 04:21 |
| Nooneshere | http://pastebin.com/i77taXc5 is my conky file. | 04:21 |
| littlegirl | andre: I think it means it won't be upgraded, but I'm not sure. | 04:21 |
| airtonix | markd, so this means that if your drivers are contained in an *.exe.... you'll also need to install wine | 04:22 |
| markd | @airtonix i haev the install cd | 04:22 |
| markd | have* | 04:22 |
| andre_pl | littlegirl: i know that it wont be, but I want to know why, and how I can make it. :) | 04:22 |

| Nooneshere | Sorry wrong one. http://pastebin.com/nRLn0Ktg | 04:22 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Hang on... I did an aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic'|grep -i nvidia and only nvidia-glx-180 was displayed. | 04:22 |
| markd | so the cd should have all those files no? | 04:22 |
| airtonix | markd, one would assume so. | 04:22 |
| littlegirl | andre: Got it. I have instructions for that. Hang on. | 04:23 |
| markd | so then all i need to do is insert the cd? | 04:23 |
| airtonix | markd, its your job to identify the right files required... | 04:23 |
| brjann | dsnyders, that's no good. maybe sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-common | 04:23 |
| markd | is there a guide somewhere that tells you how to do this? | 04:23 |

| markd | @airtonix i have never had to do that before but the cd that came with the adapter should have all of the files | 04:25 |
| markd | why would i need to find them? | 04:25 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Do you have the /opt/seti directory on your computer? | 04:25 |
| airtonix | markd, so you've never ever installed "up to date" drivers | 04:25 |
| philippe | hi all | 04:25 |
| airtonix | markd, (drivers that come with a cd are always at least a year old) | 04:25 |
| g00dwill | dlynes: Ok, Thanks. | 04:26 |
| markd | ive downloaded drivers from the internet yes | 04:26 |
| markd | i don't care if there old as long as they work | 04:26 |

| ubottu | philippe: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 04:26 |
| dsnyders | brjann, before I removed them. I thought they got re-installed when I reinstalled the nvidia-glx-180 | 04:26 |
| airtonix | markd, then you need to apply that process to finding the windows drivers for your wifi card | 04:26 |
| markd | i just want to get online then i can update everything | 04:26 |
| ubuntu | by mistake issued the command dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda any possibility to recover....pls help | 04:26 |
| markd | yes but its a different process for ubuntu | 04:26 |
| airtonix | markd, explore your driver cd then... | 04:27 |
| Nooneshere | littlegirl No, the repos didn't add that. Should i manually create, or add one from the tar.gz on the conkey site? | 04:27 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Comment out or delete lines 93 to 187 and add them back in one by one to see which ones work and which ones don't. (: | 04:27 |
| researcher1 | I cant install software from Ubuntu Software center | 04:27 |
| brjann | dsnyders, did you try sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-common ? | 04:27 |
| Lachance | littlegirl, Comment out - don't delete. o.O | 04:27 |
| markd | its in a .exe file should i need to install wine and wine should know what to do with it? | 04:27 |
| ubuntu | researcher1: whats the problem?? | 04:27 |
| researcher1 | it gives a message as under ..... | 04:27 |
| brjann | dsnyders, that seems to be the package responsible for pulling in the other nvidia packages on my system | 04:27 |
| dsnyders | brjann, processing right now. Stand by... | 04:27 |
| Lachance | markd, For drivers? | 04:27 |
| * brjann nods | 04:27 | |
| airtonix | markd, thats what i needed to do. | 04:27 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Nope, no need. Just be sure and delete lines 90 and 91 from the .conkyrc file. (: | 04:27 |
| g00dwill | dlynes: I"m not sure how this will work while using vmware on osx. Can you explain more? | 04:28 |
| researcher1 | unauthenticated software will be installed. n then stops | 04:28 |
| airtonix | markd, it'll be a compressed file that will only unpack when you run the exe | 04:28 |
| markd | @airtonix ok i just wanted to make sure wine would know what to do with them | 04:28 |
| littlegirl | Lachance: You're right, sorry. (: | 04:28 |
| === PhilMather is now known as Guest40364 | ||
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Comment out those lines rather than deleting them. Sorry! | 04:28 |
| airtonix | markd, what wifi card is it ? | 04:29 |
| Lachance | littlegirl, No worries - just remember - always comment unless you have a specific need to delete. o.O Saves your hair and sanity... | 04:29 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Or back up the whole file and delete away. (: | 04:29 |

| brjann | dsnyders, so... we've gone in a circle? :) | 04:32 |
| markd | it is | 04:32 |
| markd | should i install it? | 04:32 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Yeah... But what a ride! | 04:32 |

| airtonix | markd, (would be nice if the hardware drivers provided a mechanism for offline install like synapctics does) | 04:34 |

| mgmuscari | is it possible to get the xscreensaver-data-extra and xscreensaver-gl-extra screensavers working with gnome-screensaver? | 04:35 |
| brjann | dsnyders, oh, you'll have to do it from inside a terminal on your X screen | 04:35 |
| demonspork | airtonix, Nvidia drivers, not sure what version it is, I usually try to keep them up to date. Would that support it? | 04:36 |
| mgmuscari | i like them better, but i like the gnome-screensaver lock screen more than the xscreensaver one... | 04:36 |
| Nooneshere | I get | 04:36 |

| PratikAnand | hi...I've a query...like we get open office & fire fox as preinstalled...how do I add any other? | 04:36 |
| brjann | dsnyders, or xvinfo -display :0 | grep Adaptor | 04:36 |
| airtonix | demonspork, not from my experience. | 04:36 |
| mgmuscari | !synaptic | PratikAnand | 04:36 |
| ubottu | PratikAnand: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 04:36 |
| Lachance | PratikAnand, you can also use apt and aptitude if you know how. (Google it) | 04:36 |
| airtonix | demonspork, your nvidia-settings ui will tell you the version | 04:36 |
| markd | so what should i do now? i have b43 fwcutter installed | 04:37 |
| airtonix | markd, did you read that page ? | 04:37 |
| PratikAnand | with synaptic & aptitude, i can install later...i mean customizing so that even say google chrome comes pre-installed... | 04:37 |
| dsnyders | brjann, I thought as much. I had done a CTRL-ALT-F1 to issue the command and when I did CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to the x display, it was back to the blank text screen with the underscore cursor. I'm restarting x to try again. Stand by... | 04:37 |
| airtonix | markd, (personally i think it would be easier if you installed wine and went down the path of using ndiswrapper) | 04:38 |
| Lachance | PratikAnand, well, not preinstalled, but you can install Google Chrome (what I use), Songbird (instead of Rhythmbox), etc. | 04:38 |
| markd | wine isn't on the install cd | 04:38 |
| Switch10 | PratikAnand: you can use remastersys to make your own iso with any packages you want | 04:38 |
| markd | so do i need to get it on another computer and put it on a ubs drive? | 04:38 |
| airtonix | markd, yes... or you could just unplug the ethernet cable from this computer and plug it into your offline machine | 04:39 |
| Nooneshere | Any idea littlegirl? | 04:39 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: If you didn't comment out the line that says that in the .conkyrc file I think that means it's working and you're seeing the text from the file. | 04:39 |
| mgmuscari | PratikAnand: look at the chromium-browser package, along with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree | 04:39 |
| markd | this computer is wireless | 04:39 |
| markd | my modem is in the living room | 04:39 |
| mgmuscari | PratikAnand: i think i use a custom ppa for chromium but i forget what it is | 04:39 |
| Nooneshere | I commented it out. Its not there anymore. | 04:39 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Comment out that line and replace it with HELLO WORLD and see if you get HELLO WORLD when you run it. If so, it's working and it just needs to be configured with what you want to see. (: | 04:39 |
| markd | most of my computers are wireless except for my mac mini | 04:40 |
| airtonix | markd, then yes ... you need to transfer files via usb drive | 04:40 |
| markd | ok | 04:40 |
| markd | ill do that | 04:40 |
| markd | i do have one more question though | 04:40 |
| markd | its much shorter | 04:40 |
| markd | lol | 04:40 |
| mgmuscari | is anyone here using the screensavers from xscreensaver-data-extra or xscreensaver-gl-extra with gnome-screensaver successfully? | 04:40 |
| dsnyders | brjann, xvinfo reports Screen #0 No adapters present. | 04:40 |
| Nooneshere | What lines? Line 155? | 04:40 |
| Nooneshere | I mean 115? | 04:40 |
| brjann | dsnyders, but X is running again? o_O | 04:41 |
| markd | on this same computer i have windows 7 installed however when i select windows 7 in grub it just reboots the computer it doesn't start windows | 04:41 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Lines 115 and 166 in the paste you did here: http://pastebin.com/VtKvKqsv | 04:41 |
| dsnyders | brjann, yes. That was from an xterm window | 04:41 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: The line numbers might not be the same in your editor. You'll want to comment the content that's on those lines in the paste. | 04:41 |
| brjann | dsnyders, uh. okay, i did not expect that. :) | 04:42 |
| Nooneshere | Its still not working. I think i may just do my biannually computer wipe early, and retry. I think its because of other issues. | 04:42 |
| markd | did you see my question? | 04:42 |
| theadmin | Hm | 04:42 |
| matiz | Hi evryone | 04:43 |

| theadmin | In Jaunty, if cdrom disk was not present, cdrom did not appear in Places, now i have "cdrom0" there. Can i get it back like before? | 04:43 |
| brjann | dsnyders, i'm about out of ideas. the only other thing I can really think of is using the restricted driver manager to disable everything, reboot, and use the restricted driver manager to turn nvidia back on | 04:43 |
| Lachance | because i'm too lazy to say hi myself... | 04:43 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: That's an awfully big .conkyrc. You could try another one before giving up on it. | 04:43 |
| Nooneshere | I will. Thank you very much littlegirl | 04:43 |
| dsnyders | brjann, hang on... a thought occurs... | 04:44 |
| Lachance | theadmin, What's the problem with cdrom0? | 04:44 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: Sure. I wish I could have helped you. Hopefully somebody else in here can! | 04:44 |
| git__ | ever since i upgrade to 2.6.32.x kernel on my 9.10, i have no more freeze | 04:44 |
| brjann | dsnyders, uh oh | 04:44 |
| theadmin | Lachance: Nothing, but i don't want something useless in the menu ;) | 04:44 |
| nanotube | markd: try installing the bmcwl-kernel-source package - that should work for your wifi... | 04:45 |
| nanotube | markd: and you won't have to deal with ndiswrapper or wine or anything like that. | 04:45 |
| Lachance | theadmin, It's a virtual cdrom for specific issues. That's not essentially "useless". ;) | 04:45 |
| markd | is that in synaptic? | 04:45 |
| Nooneshere | It is most likely because i hacked a different architecture on this system. It was a very hard and bad move. | 04:45 |
| nanotube | markd: yes, it's in the official ubuntu repos | 04:46 |
| theadmin | Lachance: Hm. Well, it's still there even when i DISCONNECT the cdrom DEVICE, which is freaking me out, it's way too weird | 04:46 |
| dsnyders | brjann, I checked the proprietary drivers tool, and it looks like the nvidia driver is not active. I'm going to activate it. stand by... | 04:46 |
| Nooneshere | No worries. Gday | 04:46 |
| nanotube | markd: either in universe or multiverse... one of those. | 04:46 |
| markd | hey guess what | 04:47 |
| markd | i installed b43 and reboted | 04:47 |
| Lachance | Lol - theadmin there's a ton of stuff on your system that is "useless". The best thing to do is simply to ignore it and feel reassured that when you need it - it is there. | 04:47 |
| littlegirl | Nooneshere: If you start with a very small .conkyrc file that doesn't require any paths or network connections or anything and make sure you get a display of some sort, then you can build on that bit by bit with what you'd like to see (temperatures, hard drive space, etc.). | 04:47 |
| markd | now my adapter is seen | 04:47 |
| theadmin | Lachance: Well... okay :D | 04:47 |
| markd | magic | 04:47 |
| markd | lol | 04:47 |
| nanotube | markd: heh nice | 04:47 |
| markd | it shows me 2 drivers | 04:49 |
| markd | b43 and something called sta | 04:49 |
| Lachance | Songbird is like the best media player I've ever used. I think we should boot rhythmbox and have songbird come preinstalled. | 04:49 |
| theadmin | ...dunno, i never liked anything except VLC | 04:49 |
| markd | hey as long as it works | 04:49 |
| theadmin | Let's not start a flamewar, Lachance | 04:50 |
| Lachance | theadmin, Lol! I'm just commenting. | 04:50 |
| Switch10 | Lachance: I never really liked songbird much... | 04:50 |
| Lachance | Switch10, Any specific issues? (I've only been using it a week) | 04:50 |
| theadmin | That's what Linux is good for, you can remove anything you don't need. | 04:50 |
| markd | @nanotube do you know why when i restart my computer and try to enter windows 7 grub reboots the computer? | 04:50 |
| Lachance | theadmin, I'd completely disagree with that. | 04:51 |
| theadmin | markd: Missing ntldr most likely. Windows issue | 04:51 |
| markd | how do i fix it? | 04:51 |
| nanotube | markd: no idea... i don't dual boot. :) | 04:51 |
| dsnyders | brjann, rebooting... stand by... | 04:51 |
| Lachance | markd, That could be a lot of issues. | 04:51 |
| brjann | dsnyders, i'm sitting down out of spite. | 04:51 |
| markd | do i need to run a boot fix? | 04:51 |
| Switch10 | Lachance: I like the plugins etc, but it freezes on me at times. I have a 200 gb library though | 04:51 |
| markd | on windows? | 04:51 |
| === Out_Cold_ is now known as Guest97325 | ||
| markd | will that remove grub? | 04:52 |
| Lachance | markd, Yeah, with windows - not grub. | 04:52 |
| theadmin | markd: I dunno, i only have one idea, reinstall windows. I dualboot XP and Ubuntu on dualboot, everything is quite smooth. | 04:52 |
| Lachance | Switch10, I only use the Last.fm plugin. I haven't had it freeze yet, but my library isn't near that big. =P | 04:52 |
| theadmin | But be prepared to have a Ubuntu livecd at hand to reinstall GRUB, markd | 04:52 |

| markd | this is complex | 04:52 |

| theadmin | markd: Lol no, just grub-install /dev/whatever | 04:53 |
| Switch10 | Lachance: ya it would freeze when loading my library. The lyrics plugin is pretty cool | 04:53 |
| markd | not for you but for me | 04:53 |
| markd | im a linux noob | 04:53 |
| markd | i mean ive played with it | 04:53 |
| theadmin | markd: Well, i was one a year ago too... I see. | 04:53 |
| Lachance | Switch10, I haven't played with that. =P Tho, to be honest - I know the lyrics to all my music, so I don't have much need for a plugin for that. | 04:53 |
| Switch10 | Mpg321 is my favorite player :) | 04:54 |
| Lachance | Switch10, I'll look into that! | 04:54 |
| markd | so if i put in the windows 7 disk do i a boot fix then i have to reinstall grub? | 04:54 |
| markd | or will it leave grub alone? | 04:54 |
| theadmin | markd: It WON'T leave it. Windows IS stupid, it puts it's bootloader in master boot record even if something is already there | 04:54 |
| Switch10 | markd: if u reinstall win7 it will mess up grub | 04:54 |

| Lachance | markd, When you the grub menu pulls up - what do you do? You select Windows, then what happens? Does windows begin to boot up? Do you see any splash screens? Etc. | 04:55 |
| Hellhound666 | I installed WUBI | 04:55 |
| Hellhound666 | inside Windows 7 then modified the loader to go into grub2 | 04:55 |
| theadmin | gooooo: You'll have to install Windows and then reinstall GRUB | 04:55 |
| Lachance | theadmin, lol - totally agreed. Windows OWNS MBR no matter what might be there. | 04:55 |
| Hellhound666 | try that | 04:55 |

| gooooo | i see it in the list it works but its not the default | 04:58 |
| Lachance | Cynofield, it's best to download and compile your own new kernel for such an issue (not difficult, though most documentation makes it sound like it is) then implement the new kernel. | 04:59 |
| Hellhound666 | markd: u say it just reboots automatically? | 04:59 |
| Cynofield | what do u mean by "your own new kernel" (sorry for dumb questions) | 04:59 |
| dsnyders | brjann, did you want me to do the nvidia-xconfig? If so, should I do it from an xterm window? | 04:59 |
| Hellhound666 | I think if you have the DVD u can repair it on boot | 04:59 |
| markd | yes | 05:00 |
| markd | hellhound666 | 05:00 |
| Lachance | Cynofield, this... is kind of a complex issue if you don't know that much. Are you sure you're up for this? It can completely nuke your system if you mess up... | 05:00 |
| Hellhound666 | u try that? | 05:00 |
| theadmin | gooooo: an editor specific for GRUB is called StartUp Manager, it's available in repositories, look for it in software center, dunno the package name | 05:00 |
| brjann | dsnyders, yes, and yes | 05:00 |
| gooooo | hey cool thanks | 05:00 |
| Hellhound666 | Like I said I just installed WUBI inside windows and it worked just the same. | 05:00 |
| kanuha | help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist | 05:01 |
| Hellhound666 | well little problem with the wbldr | 05:01 |
| Blue1 | gooooo: iirc the startup manager is called "sum" | 05:01 |
| Cynofield | Lachance, yeah i dont mind. im actually using BT4 tbh. and for some reason this IP that im on (open access point) is banned from their irc channel | 05:01 |
| Hellhound666 | er wubildr | 05:01 |
| Lachance | Cynofield, here you go buddy -> http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/the-newbies-guide-to-compiling-your-first-kernel_272.html | 05:01 |
| Cynofield | Lachance, so i can here for the next best thing | 05:01 |
| gooooo | hmm its not available on mint | 05:01 |
| Lachance | It really does not get any more simple than a guide like that... | 05:01 |
| Roasted | is there a program in ubuntu that I can run thats like audacity, but for video? | 05:02 |
| theadmin | Roasted: Pitivi | 05:02 |
| Roasted | theadmin thanks bro | 05:02 |
| arakthor | HOw do I list packages by repository. eg I want to see which packages I have installed come from -universe; how do I do that quickly? | 05:02 |
| nanotube | Roasted: you mean, you want to edit video? | 05:02 |
| Cynofield | thx Lachance | 05:02 |
| ruby_on_tails | hello | 05:03 |
| Roasted | nanotube - just a recorder. like I want to record my dog doing something on my webcam and send it to family. | 05:03 |
| ruby_on_tails | how can I remotely control an XP computer from an ubuntu pc ? | 05:03 |
| Roasted | nanotube - just think of audacity, except with video too | 05:03 |
| Guest97325 | Cynofield, you are using the realname of root. it's that name that is banned... change your ident in the client | 05:03 |
| Switch10 | ruby_on_tails: vlc | 05:03 |
| Lachance | Cynofield, the basics are download your kernel, open the kernel's menu, customize your kernel, compile your kernel, name your kernel something sexy, implement your kernel - then rip your skin off with your bare hands when you discover you messed up 8 hours of work or thank God for your genius when it works. | 05:03 |
| theadmin | ruby_on_tails: There are many solutions, i recommend VNC | 05:03 |
| brjann | arakthor, synaptic has an "origin" filter that will do that | 05:03 |
| mjs7231 | Hey Guys, I just updated to Aplha3 and now I can't get Ubuntu out of Low Graphics Mode.. :( | 05:03 |
| theadmin | Switch10: VNC, not vlc, vlc is a media player | 05:03 |
| Switch10 | Ya sorry | 05:03 |
| Cynofield | Guest97325, oh zzzzzzz fail by me... thx | 05:03 |
| theadmin | mjs7231: Lucid support in #ubuntu+1 | 05:04 |
| Switch10 | Vnc | 05:04 |
| Roasted | woops closed on accident | 05:04 |
| mjs7231 | thanks | 05:04 |
| arakthor | brjann: I'm looking for a way in CLI | 05:04 |
| Roasted | I dont see a way to record in pitivi? | 05:04 |
| kanuha | help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist | 05:04 |
| ruby_on_tails | theadmin: I need to install something on my XP machine ? | 05:04 |
| arakthor | I should have mentioned that | 05:04 |
| Cynofield | Lachance, yeah tell me about it.. hahaah thx bro | 05:04 |
| theadmin | Roasted: Oh... Sorry... | 05:04 |
| nanotube | Roasted: try 'cheese' to record from webcam | 05:04 |
| Lachance | No owrries | 05:04 |
| theadmin | ruby_on_tails: Actually on both, a VNC server and client | 05:04 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm | 05:04 |
| dsnyders | brjann, restarted x. The System>Preferences>display has brought up the nvidia control window. | 05:04 |
| Hellhound666 | markd: just curious did u fix yer problem yet? | 05:04 |
| ruby_on_tails | http://www.realvnc.com/ this one theadmin ? | 05:04 |
| theadmin | ruby_on_tails: I however stick to jrdesktop, it's kinda simplier | 05:05 |
| Hellhound666 | well course I wouldn't know yet duh | 05:05 |
| === Guest97325 is now known as Out_Cold | ||
| theadmin | ruby_on_tails: There are tons of them, any one will do | 05:05 |
| brjann | dsnyders, that sounds promising? | 05:05 |
| ruby_on_tails | theadmin: any free one ? | 05:05 |
| ruby_on_tails | I basically want to use photoshop on the xp machine via VNC, so will it be fast enough ? and its on lan | 05:05 |
| Switch10 | ruby_on_tails: they r all free try vinagre as well | 05:05 |

| theadmin | ruby_on_tails: Well, just any :D Any that has a Linux and a Windows version of course. Although you can use different clients too | 05:05 |
| gooooo | i did the weirdest thing to get my resolution working.... ctrl + alt + keypad minus a couple times to change the resolution | 05:06 |
| gooooo | xorg is just full of mystery's | 05:06 |
| ruby_on_tails | realvnc is paid, I will look for vinarge | 05:06 |
| gooooo | anyhow thanks for the help | 05:06 |
| gooooo | keep a tight bum | 05:06 |
| brjann | arakthor, sorry, not as much of a wizard with the apt cli tools :) | 05:06 |
| dsnyders | brjann, it does sound promising. It's not detecting my monitor, and it is only allowing 800x600 and 640x400. | 05:07 |
| Viking667 | ruby_on_tails: vinaigre ? | 05:07 |
| ruby_on_tails | Viking667: what Switch10 said | 05:07 |
| theadmin | Viking667: vinagre most likely %) A GNOME VNC client | 05:07 |
| arakthor | brjann, no worries; it's a bit of an odd one to be honest. | 05:07 |
| kanuha | help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist | 05:07 |
| Lachance | kanuha, so you popped in a CD and you're trying to access it? | 05:08 |
| brjann | dsnyders, but it's actually running the nvidia driver now? | 05:08 |
| punkrockguy3 | I'm a dev of fceux (nes emulator). are there any experienced users here that wouldn't mind helping me test netplay? i'm trying to ready it for the release | 05:09 |
| kanuha | Lachance, yes, a window comes up and asks me what I want to do, but when I select open brasero it says there isn't a disk in the drive. | 05:09 |
| Lachance | kanuha, Do you see the CD displayed on the desktop? | 05:10 |
| kanuha | Lachance, it worked before, but something changed. | 05:10 |
| kanuha | Lachance, yes | 05:10 |
| Lachance | kanuha, And it is a music CD? o.O | 05:10 |
| Lachance | Or blank CD, my bad | 05:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | the vinagre install file says I need these - gtk+ >= 2.12 - glib >= 2.15.3 - libglade-2.0 - gconf-2.0 - gnome-keyring - gtk-vnc widget >= 0.3.5 (http://gtk-vnc.sf.net) - avahi-gobject and avahi-ui >= 0.6.22 - libpanelapplet-2.0 >= 2.0.0 where do I get these ? | 05:11 |
| kanuha | blank | 05:11 |
| * Lachance is really tired | 05:11 | |
| EntityReborn | ruby_on_tails, apt-get install | 05:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | I use synapetic | 05:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | is that ok ? | 05:11 |
| dsnyders | brjann, It seems to be running the nvidia driver, as far as I can tell. | 05:11 |
| EntityReborn | ruby_on_tails, apt-get install is faster/easier, if you already know what you need. | 05:12 |
| Lachance | kanuha, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/181703 | 05:12 |
| ruby_on_tails | EntityReborn: so I should typ in sudo apt-get gtk+ >= 2.12 ? | 05:12 |
| mylisto2 | I've got someone over here that wants to isntall itunes on his iphone... | 05:12 |
| brjann | dsnyders, well yay. that's something, at least. but i need to afk for a bit before my eyes fall out :) | 05:12 |
| EntityReborn | ruby_on_tails, do sudo apt-get install vinagre, and it will install the dependancies for you | 05:12 |
| mylisto2 | how can this be done via ubuntu? | 05:12 |
| kanuha | Lachance, I checked fstab and it says my cdrom is device /dev/scd0, but that doesn't exist. | 05:12 |
| kanuha | Lachance, I installed k3b and same thing | 05:12 |
| dsnyders | brjann, you have been a tremendous help. I thank you. | 05:13 |
| Lachance | kanuha, One moment... | 05:13 |
| brjann | dsnyders, you're welcome! sorry we haven't made much progress | 05:13 |
| theadmin | kanuha: Hm, does "ls -la /dv | grep 'scd'" return anything? | 05:13 |
| ruby_on_tails | EntityReborn: I alrerady had it installed :D | 05:13 |
| EntityReborn | ruby_on_tails, :P | 05:13 |
| ruby_on_tails | but how do I install this on my windows machine ? | 05:13 |
| EntityReborn | oh | 05:13 |
| theadmin | kanuha: Err, "ls -la /dev | grep 'scd'" | 05:13 |
| EntityReborn | erm | 05:13 |
| EntityReborn | don't know if vinagre is windows compatible | 05:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | oh | 05:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | bleh | 05:14 |
| dsnyders | brjann, we've made a lot of progress as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to cut and paste some of the lines from my 8.10 xorg.conf to see if I can get the resolution up to a usable level. | 05:14 |
| EntityReborn | use TinyVNC or something | 05:14 |
| Switch10 | ruby_on_tails: it's fine do a google search for windows vnc | 05:14 |
| nanotube | !vnc | 05:14 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 05:14 |
| === ZombindPower is now known as WindPower | ||
| EntityReborn | sorry, tightVNC, ruby_on_tails | 05:14 |
| nanotube | ruby_on_tails: i bet that wiki article links to some vnc clients | 05:15 |
| Switch10 | ruby_on_tails: you don't need the same app | 05:15 |
| ruby_on_tails | Switch10: yea did that already :P | 05:15 |
| ruby_on_tails | oh | 05:15 |
| nanotube | EntityReborn: howdy! :) | 05:15 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm | 05:15 |
| dsnyders | brjann, The important thing is that I have x working again... sort of. | 05:15 |
| EntityReborn | nanotube, supsup | 05:15 |
| brjann | dsnyders, not a bad idea. some of the settings unhidden by the advanced button in nvidia-settings might be of help too | 05:15 |
| kanuha | Lachance, takes me to a blank cli prompt | 05:15 |
| brjann | dsnyders, but! before you do anything, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.sortofworking ;) | 05:15 |
| Lachance | kanuha, theadmin suggested it. I'm just watching | 05:15 |

| ruby_on_tails | vinagre == remote desktop viewer :| | 05:19 |
| theadmin | I'm just trying to watch one video... what happens next: A huge memory leak (everything freezes) and Firefox crashes. | 05:19 |
| kanuha | theadmin, isn't there a command that shows your hardware devices and addresses | 05:20 |
| Switch10 | ruby_on_tails: correct that is what u want | 05:20 |
| MilitantPotato | kanuha: if it's something you can remove and plugin, dmesg would show it | 05:21 |
| nbros652 | any ideas anyone? | 05:21 |
| theadmin | kanuha: Hm... yeah... uh... sudo fdisk -l | 05:21 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there such a thing as a diff editor? Something that shows two files and allows cut/paste either to a third or to one of the two? | 05:21 |
| kanuha | MilitantPotato, I'm on a laptop | 05:21 |
| ruby_on_tails | ok I installed tightvnc on my xp machine and turned on the vnc server | 05:22 |
| ruby_on_tails | omg | 05:22 |
| ruby_on_tails | it works | 05:22 |

| phyburn | hello how could I check what wifi driver I'm using? | 05:23 |
| ruby_on_tails | thanks everyone | 05:24 |
| MilitantPotato | Most people do all their partitioning during the install, not after I'm guessing | 05:24 |
| dsnyders | theadmin, because once you've installed you've already gone past the part where you need to partition things? | 05:24 |
| MilitantPotato | I use it frequently for flash drives though, wish they'd leave it installed. | 05:24 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm, why can't I pasre images from ubuntu into xp photoshop ? | 05:24 |
| Switch10 | theadmin: I imagine because you have to unmount before you do anything with gparted. Unless u have other partitions most people have no need for it | 05:24 |
| bwr | Stupid question: I accidently hit control+j and I don't know how to zoom back out. Hard | 05:25 |
| ruby_on_tails | paste* | 05:25 |
| Losha | theadmin: just do sudo apt-get install gparted | 05:25 |
| bwr | to find out with it zoomed in so far :/ | 05:25 |
| dsnyders | MilitantPotato, well, it's only a sudo apt-get away. | 05:25 |
| ruby_on_tails | though, this is pretty slow | 05:25 |
| ruby_on_tails | can't work on photoshop :P | 05:25 |
| MilitantPotato | dsnyders: yep. | 05:25 |
| theadmin | Losha: Yeah i know, i just found that weird | 05:26 |
| kanuha | brb | 05:26 |
| theadmin | Hm, dunno, but i needed GPartED to partition my external drive | 05:26 |
| Switch10 | theadmin: ya Install it right away as well | 05:27 |
| Losha | theadmin: MilitantPotato had a good explanation. Too many apps that aren't used often just bloat an installation | 05:27 |
| Switch10 | Losha: ie the gimp | 05:27 |
| esicam | I mistakenly made my vista containing folder as swap, now how to remove the swap and make it mountable | 05:29 |

| kenjy | guys If I disable ACPI my graphic interface becomes really slow, how can I debug this issue? | 05:30 |
| Losha | esicam: did you actually swap on it? | 05:30 |
| esicam | Losha, no i have another swap area which is being used but i marked that also as swap area | 05:30 |

| rww | LinuxGuy2009: The mainline PPA has a copy at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/ . That site is completely unrecommended, unsupported, and if it breaks things you get to keep both pieces. There's no official package of 2.6.33 for Hardy. | 05:39 |

| stevebuntu | hellhound666: how can i see what is set to autostart ? | 05:47 |
| Losha | Gartral: ubuntu will see 2 separate drives, unless you're using LVMs or raid or something clever like that. UUIDs are assigned at partition creating time I think | 05:48 |

| Hellhound666 | ./boot or something? | 05:48 |

| rww | Losha, Gartral: I'm not the one asking the question, despite what rednose seems to think :) | 05:51 |
| Losha | rww: oops, beg pardon | 05:52 |
| Gartral | !hardy|all | 05:52 |
| ubottu | all: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 05:52 |
| zetheroo | rww: haha ... how can I help? | 05:52 |
| rww | Gartral: no it isn't, it's 690MB. | 05:52 |
| Gartral | zetheroo: ohh nvm.. i had the wrong iso, lol | 05:52 |
| hmw | how can I purge fluxbox and xfce? (I installed them with "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop fluxbox") | 05:52 |
| Hellhound666 | stevenbuntu: try this here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246791 | 05:52 |
| stevebuntu | helhound666, there is a process called python | 05:52 |
| Gartral | rww: i had rolled a package into another iso.. i forgot to rename it, lol | 05:53 |
| Losha | malsyned_: the best is idvid which comes with the 'tovid' package, but it's slow. There are also midentify (comes with mencoder) and tcprobe (comes with transcode). I'm sure there are others | 05:53 |
| theadmin | hmw: Purge? Uhm... sudo apt-get purge packagename1 packagename2 etc | 05:53 |
| zetheroo | Gartral: oh ok ... I had found that with one distro ... don't recall which one ... but it was due to me using 700MB CD's and the ISO was over 700MB | 05:53 |
| hmw | theadmin: i meant to remove it basically... | 05:53 |
| Hellhound666 | stevenbuntu: sudo apt-get chkconfig | 05:53 |
| malsyned_ | Losha: thanks | 05:53 |
| hmw | theadmin: with apt-get remove only one package is removed | 05:54 |
| Hellhound666 | stevenbuntu: sudo apt-get install chkconfig | 05:54 |
| theadmin | hmw: Yeah, try sudo apt-get purge | 05:54 |
| phaidonx1 | Hi. I am trying to set an environment variable. it works if I use export , but I want to put this in a script to set a couple of them. I don't want it to be in .bashrc since I only want to set the variables in some cases (basically they are already set in .bashrc but I want to change their default value occasionally). I tried putting this in a script, but after the script finishes the environment variables seem not to stick.... | 05:54 |
| Hellhound666 | that should work perfectly | 05:54 |
| Gartral | zetheroo: i have some 900s.. but did you try burning the disk in mode 2 type 1? | 05:54 |
| zetheroo | Gartral: no ... have never even heard of that :P | 05:55 |
| hmw | theadmin: i think that doesnt do. it says "1 package to remove"... it installed a lot more | 05:55 |
| zetheroo | Gartral: I used an 800MB CD and that worked | 05:55 |
| Hellhound666 | isn't mode 2 type one for audio/video and data? | 05:55 |
| Gartral | zetheroo: google "mode 2 cd burner" | 05:55 |
| theadmin | hmw: damn. It's usually a lot of trouble to remove desktop environments | 05:55 |
| hmw | great. well.. thanks for your helü | 05:56 |
| hmw | p | 05:56 |
| theadmin | Gotta go... sorry. | 05:56 |
| Gartral | Hellhound666: normally yes, but it's the data portion that lets it be used for oversized OS isos | 05:56 |
| Losha | phaidonx1: you cant set an environment variable the way you think. See 'man env' for a way to set an environment variable just for the duration of a command... | 05:56 |
| Hellhound666 | yeah I used a lot of that for dreamcast games | 05:56 |
| Hellhound666 | linux on dreamcast! I think I'll pop netbsd in my dreamcast! | 05:56 |
| Gartral | netbsd works well on netbooks lol | 05:57 |
| phaidonx1 | Losha: I don't want to set the variable for just the duration of the command, but rather for the entire shell session | 05:57 |
| Myrtti | rww: my typo from last night | 05:57 |
| Myrtti | rww: sorry about that | 05:57 |
| rww | Myrtti: no problem, thanks :) | 05:58 |
| Hellhound666 | linux works on just about everything. not the new ps3 I hear but I'm sure some hackers out there will make it happen. | 05:58 |
| Hellhound666 | alright I really gotta go read now. learnin' tahm. | 05:58 |
| Hellhound666 | see ya's later | 05:58 |
| Losha | phaidonx1: you have to put the export command in a file and 'source' it (see man bash) to affect the current shell | 06:00 |

| dude | ch0ps, I've actually configured youtube to display the vids in html5 but I still get the same issue... maybe it's a codec issue? | 06:20 |
| Ch0ps | it may very well be. It doesn't happen to me with all of the videos I watch | 06:21 |
| Ch0ps | just a few.. kind of weird actually | 06:21 |

| theadmin | jure: Many converters out there... Try some online one such as youconvertit, they usually are simplier | 06:25 |
| ploom | duckwars, isn't pico actually a symlink to nano? Otherwise, would also need if it is through SSL or at gnome-terminal or directly behind console | 06:25 |
| dude | jure, have you checked the ubuntu software center? I know they got some rad sound editors that can probably handle conversions for you too. | 06:25 |

| thiru | mikel: do u know how to install apache axis in ubuntu jdk? | 06:53 |
| iaindalton | Myrtti: I reported a bug to Emacs and they want to know if it's present in the latest build. | 06:53 |
| markd | how do i do that? | 06:53 |
| ploom | duckwars, this should work too, but there are many things to consider: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/BackspaceDelete.html | 06:53 |
| Mike1 | thiru: nope | 06:53 |
| thiru | oh | 06:53 |
| duckwars | ploom: that's heavy | 06:53 |
| thiru | mikel: hmmm fine | 06:53 |
| iaindalton | I might not use the latest build all the time but it would be good to have if I need to test bug reports against it in the future, too. | 06:53 |

| thiru | hi there.. help me out to add apache axis plugin in jdk in ubuntu | 06:54 |
| markd | what should i do? | 06:54 |
| duckwars | =( linux is tough tiemz | 06:54 |
| arand | markd: did you change the command as I suggested? | 06:54 |
| iaindalton | What bad things could happen if I had the lucid version of, say, libfontconfig1 and its dependencies? | 06:54 |
| duckwars | pico used to work though, i used to delete all the live long day | 06:54 |
| Mike1 | Sacho iaindalton: using one package from other version of ubuntu or debian is usually no problem, but sometimes you would have to replace half your system :D | 06:54 |
| ploom | duckwars, another one: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050525040921189 | 06:55 |
| markd | missed that how should i change it? | 06:55 |
| arand | markd: first of all the root directory should be /media/#mountpoint# and the drive after that is where the mbr goes, so "/dev/sda" if it goes on the first drive.. | 06:55 |
| iaindalton | Mike1: I don't mind, unless that could cause problems. What I don't know is what, if any, kind of problems does it cause? | 06:55 |
| arand | markd: where did you mount the ubuntu root filesystem? | 06:55 |
| Mike1 | iaindalton: mhh dunno, I once tried a similar thing with xine … it didn’t work afterwards but that was all | 06:57 |

| thiru | ActionParsnip: i need to install apache axis plugin and need to develop webservice using java in ubuntu i dont know how to do it | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Sandyyoung: most times the partitions will be shown in the places menu and be mountable. If the options used aren't to your taste you can use fstab to control it. The is no "best way" to mount stuff | 07:01 |
| iaindalton | sandyyoung: I mean, how is it connected? | 07:01 |
| sandyyoung | iaindalton: In nautilus, I can double click on it to mount it, but I would like to have it mounted at boot | 07:01 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest30024: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get cleanavail | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest30024: check the avail option in the man page if its wrong | 07:24 |

| M1TE5H | ActionParsnip:what is epidermis | 07:24 |

| Guest30024 | ActionParsnip, how do I check the avail option. I'm a nub here, so bare with me please. | 07:25 |

| knoppies | fannagoganna, not sure what dock bar you are talking about, is there an "about" menu option or something? | 07:27 |
| arand | nevin: I have it installed and currently booting from a usb, I want to install to harddisk from within the running session with no rebooting.. | 07:27 |

| q0_0p | im installing ubuntu through usb and while in installation it cannot find cdrom obviously cause im installing through usb. i've successfuly mounted the usb device mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom; i'm not sure what to do | 07:29 |

| fannagoganna | anyone know what it could be? | 07:31 |
| TironN | q0_0p: hmm... when i installed mine of usb it was simply follow the steps at default | 07:31 |
| TironN | q0_0p: try not mounting it as it should be detected as the cd automatically | 07:31 |
| q0_0p | TironN, i guess i have to mount the usb to mimick the cdrom | 07:31 |
| knoppies | fannagoganna, looks like a nice eyecandy menu, never seen it, not sure what it is. | 07:31 |
| q0_0p | TironN, i'm able to mount it but maybe i'm not mounting it correctly in the right places | 07:31 |
| M1TE5H | airtonix:i am checking ur links thanks | 07:32 |
| jfox | How exactly are Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc different technically? I understand the UI is different, but is it simply a different set of base packages with the same backend? | 07:32 |
| q0_0p | TironN, i did mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom | 07:32 |
| TironN | jfox: its the same kernel but a different dm which changes it all around | 07:32 |
| arand | nevin: That's a liveUSB, and not what I'm looking for, ignore the usb bit I mentioned, it's a plain ubuntu install and I want to install to somewhere else from it.. | 07:32 |
| === aybabtu is now known as Guest16321 | ||

| fannagoganna | anyone know what i'm looking at here? | 07:32 |
| knoppies | jfox, that is how I would describe it. Its just different Desktop Environments on the same OS. but what you said sounds more interesting. | 07:32 |
| q0_0p | TironN, if only i knew what was in /cdrom by default | 07:33 |
| pog | I installed evolutin on a new installation and copied .evolution to the home directory. Why evolution doesn't seem to take the date and the init dialog comes up? | 07:33 |

| pog | in other word how I can migrate an evolution installation? | 07:34 |

| koltroll | pog, make sure your .evolution-folder has the right privileges - other than that I really don't know. Sounds like it should work fine. it did for me. | 07:35 |
| arand | knoppies: Well, that requires both a reboot and a server to net-boot from, well, I guess there isn't really any good way to do it then.. | 07:35 |
| pog | ah, yes can be that it's another user... | 07:35 |
| M1TE5H | can any body know how to find out usbflash disk serial no | 07:36 |
| koltroll | pog, chown -R <username> <folder> | 07:36 |
| arand | M1TE5H: if you're looking for the UUID use the "blkid" command.. | 07:37 |
| jfox | are there any scripts or applications that can switch your system from one package set to another? ie: kubuntu base install -> xubuntu base install.... or do I do what I'm doing now and just use apt-get to add and remove the environments i want? | 07:37 |

| web5|org|ua | can't access folder /media/truecrypt1 through samba just mounted ! | 08:02 |
| knxville | I'm trying to connect to a router through a serial with a usb adapter on, how do I find it on my system? I know on windows it's something with com ports.. | 08:03 |
| web5|org|ua | other folder is work like it should by rules in smb.conf | 08:03 |
| Moral_ | knxville, if it's routed through a usb adpater then it wont have anything to do with serial | 08:04 |
| Moral_ | knxville, do lsusb | 08:04 |
| Moral_ | and look for the adapter, if you don't see it you may need to install drivers | 08:04 |
| knxville | Moral_, alright.. | 08:04 |
| Smoochict | Hello | 08:04 |
| Smoochict | Could someone please just tell me if i'm connected successfully to ubuntu channel | 08:05 |
| Moral_ | you are | 08:05 |
| brjann | Smoochict, yep | 08:05 |
| Smoochict | Thanks :) | 08:05 |
| brjann | knxville, usually usb-serial adaptors show up as /dev/usb/ttyUSB#, where # is some number | 08:05 |
| Moral_ | I have a question myself: | 08:06 |
| Moral_ | Quick question regarding alsa sound and Gnome, sound wasn't working properly so I did /etc/init.d/aslasound restart usually a window pops up and tells me to reload something, I don't remember what it says explicitly; however this time I didn;t hit reload and now I have no sound icons on my gnome panel or any sound from my speakers, although the drivers are working. | 08:06 |
| knxville | brjann, alright | 08:06 |
| Ascavasaion | xorwhy: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download | 08:06 |
| === root is now known as Guest99990 | ||
| brjann | Moral_, maybe something to do with reloading the sound card module? | 08:07 |
| === xeros2 is now known as xeros | ||
| === Smoochict is now known as smoochict | ||
| Moral_ | brjann, ill look at the modules I got and see if any of them are sound related. | 08:08 |
| Moral_ | good call | 08:08 |
| dabblego | what can I google to use a different sound output device for different applications (e.g. skype)? | 08:11 |
| brjann | dabblego, can't you select that in skype's preferences itself? | 08:11 |
| dabblego | brjann, no I only have the selection for PulseAudio server; also I have done this before successfully but I forgot how | 08:12 |
| Moral_ | do you have multiple sound cards? | 08:13 |
| dabblego | no | 08:13 |
| brjann | dabblego, ah, okay. must be some pulseaudio magic, then, so i'll be no help :) | 08:14 |

| Smoochict | How do i create programs for ubuntu operating systems? | 08:16 |
| Moral_ | sorry got lagged out | 08:16 |
| pluvejo | xchat gnome that is | 08:16 |
| Moral_ | pluvejo, go to xchat at the top | 08:16 |
| pluvejo | smoochict: you learn to program? what kind of language are you wanting to use? the answer will depend wether you want to do GUI stuff, or command line stuff, or scripting stuff | 08:17 |
| pluvejo | Moral_: yeah | 08:17 |
| Moral_ | pluvejo, xchat at the top, Network lists, go down to freenode, and hit edit and edit what you want there. | 08:17 |

| pluvejo | ahhh sorry | 08:18 |
| Smoochict | pluvejo i'v done lots of programming, but never created a gui and so i would like to create a gui app for ubuntu | 08:18 |
| pluvejo | my xchat is in a different language | 08:18 |

| donri | can I undo setting up the telepathy ppa? | 08:19 |
| pluvejo | smoochict: well then google around for "glade" and "mono". Mono is a .NET replacement/implementation for linux, and glade is a really cool way of making GUI's that are seperate to actual code | 08:19 |
| pluvejo | with glade, you can link it with most languages | 08:19 |
| pluvejo | so you could use the relatively easy python, and link it with a glade interface that you create | 08:19 |
| pluvejo | and voila | 08:19 |
| pluvejo | thanks guys for the xchat help too | 08:20 |

| iaindalton | JrodDCx: He only wants usage stats for intranet packets | 08:22 |
| llcoolhodge | i am new to this i dont know how to navigate easily | 08:22 |
| llcoolhodge | i am trying to use skype...what is cheese? | 08:23 |
| Smoochict | ok so i have glade installed | 08:23 |
| DannyButterman | Hi There. Does someone know why I see several instances of the same samba server in my gnome network browser ? | 08:23 |
| Smoochict | but if i create a program with glade using the mac version, can it run on ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| DannyButterman | It doesn't occur when using windows network browser | 08:23 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, you have zeroconf installed | 08:23 |
| Moral_ | llcoolhodge, cheese is a program that takes video/webcam pictures | 08:23 |
| abhi_nav | !cheese | llcoolhodge | 08:24 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, windows does not support zeroconf by default. | 08:24 |
| DannyButterman | airtonix:Zerconf on my ubuntu ? or on the samba server ? | 08:24 |
| batang_munti | Cheese is a cheesy program to take pictures and videos from your web cam. It also provides some graphical effects in order to please the users play instinct. | 08:24 |
| Moral_ | !cheese | Moral_ | 08:24 |
| llcoolhodge | i am not really caring to take anything...I would just like to use skype | 08:24 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, on ubuntu, ... what does the address bar in nautilus say for each of the entries when you open them ? | 08:24 |
| Moral_ | llcoolhodge, so your webcam doesn't work w/ skype? | 08:24 |
| bullgard | JrodDCx: NetworkManager's window 'Connection information' only prints addresses and no traffic volumes. | 08:25 |
| bigbrovar | brjann: did someone say my name :P | 08:25 |
| DannyButterman | airtonix:sftp://freenas.local | 08:25 |
| JrodDCx | Different version of skype work differently | 08:25 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, then that one is not a samba server | 08:25 |
| JrodDCx | the old ones work better with pulseaudo for some reason | 08:26 |
| theadmin | How do i get rid of this annoying warning on every start? | 08:26 |
| llcoolhodge | moral_ , no it doesnt i am trying to get software but to tell u the truth i have no idea what any of it means | 08:26 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, the .local also increases my suspicion that you have zeronconf/avhai/bonjour running on ubuntu | 08:26 |
| Moral_ | llcoolhodge, okay, does it give you any errors when you try and use your webcam with skype? | 08:27 |
| JrodDCx | bullgard: sorry :( , try system monitor , and select network | 08:27 |
| DannyButterman | Airtonix: I've just tried a connection on each of them shares, and upon identification it seems each matches a share on the samba server | 08:27 |
| JrodDCx | bullgard: sorry :( , try system monitor , and select network ( under apps -> systools -> system monitor and click on the network tab) | 08:28 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, windows exploerer does not support ssh filesystems..you would need to use a third party file browser that supports ssh filesystems | 08:28 |
| DannyButterman | Airtonix:but this is a freenas box, which runs also ssh, rsync, ftp, and cifs | 08:28 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, yes. but you just said one of the two entries you see has a starting address of : sftp://freenas.local | 08:28 |
| llcoolhodge | I dont know how to get my webcamera microphone to work on skype | 08:28 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, is the other entry starting with : smb:// ? | 08:29 |
| infid | what's an easy way to shrink an image from 100k to 70k in ubuntu? | 08:29 |
| abumaia | I have a laptop I use regularly with ubuntu 9.10 on it, and a WinXP desktop that runs 24/7 as my boinc machine. If I attach an external usb hard drive to my windows machine, is there a way I could mount and access that drive on my ubuntu laptop, via wifi when I'm at home, or over the internet when I'm away? | 08:29 |
| DannyButterman | airtonix: yes, smb://freenas | 08:30 |
| airtonix | abumaia, yes, portforwarding & ssh | 08:30 |
| npoBaJl | abumaia I believe sharing the volume will do just fine. For LAN at least... | 08:30 |
| brand0n | anyone have experiencing with the ps3 webcam on ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| abumaia | airtonix: for ssh, do I have to install anything on the windox box? | 08:31 |
| brand0n | experience | 08:31 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, that is why the windows explorer can't see your sftp:// entry... it does not natively support ssh filesystems | 08:31 |
| brand0n | * | 08:31 |
| bullgard | JrodDCx: System Monitor is not to be found under Applications > System Tools. System Monitor does not have a menu item 'Network' to select. | 08:31 |
| airtonix | abumaia, actually. sorry not ssh. | 08:32 |
| DannyButterman | airtonix:I see, that's not a bug from ubuntu, but a feature... ;) | 08:32 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, yes the two entries are. i think i did see something about sshfs for windows... | 08:32 |
| alabd | why GNU/Linux is secure than windows , would you name reasons ? OR is there any material regarding this issue ? | 08:33 |
| airtonix | DannyButterman, (sicne it would be nice to just use windows exploerer to navigate ssh mounts) | 08:33 |
| JrodDCx | bullgard: try the command: gnome-system-monitor | 08:33 |
| m_anish_ | infid: if you have imagemagick installed u can use a command linu command called "convert" | 08:33 |
| rifter | andif the command doesn't wor,install it | 08:34 |
| brjann | bigbrovar, not on purpose! just a link! :) | 08:34 |
| JrodDCx | bullgard: press alt+f2 and type: gnome-system-monitor | 08:34 |
| m_anish_ | infid: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-170862.html | 08:34 |
| bigbrovar | brjann: oh ok .. guess I will head back to flatland then ;) | 08:35 |
| infid | i dont want to batch resize | 08:35 |
| infid | ubuntu isnt showing the title bars of any of my windows in netbook remix, how can i see them? | 08:35 |
| m_anish_ | infid: 'convert' will work for single images | 08:36 |
| asmith | I did a 'rm fileName' and deleted a 2gb file. but 'df -h' is still giving me the results before the deletion. am I missing something here? | 08:36 |
| bullgard | JrodDCx: I opened gnome-system-monitor (= System Monitor). As I said, there is no menu item 'Network' to select. | 08:36 |
| brjann | bigbrovar, say hi to Square for me | 08:36 |
| JrodDCx | bullgard: sorry i meant goto the resources section it shows network stats | 08:37 |
| bigbrovar | brjann: :) | 08:37 |
| JrodDCx | in gnome-system-monitor | 08:37 |
| infid | m_anish_: ok i just installed image magic, do you know the full command line to type ? | 08:37 |
| infid | it didnt install a man page | 08:38 |
| m_anish_ | infid: try something like "convert myimage.jpg -resize 50% myimage.jpg" | 08:39 |
| kostkon | infid, for a more user friendly way, you can use the "save for the web" gimp plugin. | 08:40 |
| bullgard | JrodDCx: There, Network History prints the values 'Total Received' and 'Total Sent'. These are totals. I need specific values. | 08:40 |
| infid | thanks | 08:41 |
| JrodDCx | yeah dude i'd just use the gimp if i where you | 08:41 |
| kostkon | infid, very effective, even for png images, for example. and easy | 08:42 |
| brjann | bullgard, are you looking for a daemon to monitor that for you? | 08:43 |
| ale_ | STUPYD | 08:43 |
| bullgard | JrodDCx: Thank you for commenting. | 08:43 |
| brand0n | anyone use the ps3 eye? | 08:43 |
| ale_ | U YES | 08:43 |
| bullgard | brjann: Not necessarily so. Any means to obtain this information would be appreciated. | 08:44 |

| rifter | bullgard, what are you trying to measure? I missed that part of the conversation | 08:45 |
| brjann | bullgard, there are lots of subnet bandwidth monitoring daemons available... ipband is a simple one | 08:45 |
| brjann | !info ipband | 08:45 |
| bullgard | rifter: How can I determine how much traffic has flown from my Ubuntu 9.10 computer to another Ubuntu 9.10 computer in my LAN in this session? '~$ ifconfig' gives a summary over all hosts in the LAN only. | 08:45 |
| ubottu | ipband (source: ipband): daemon for subnet bandwidth monitoring with reporting via email. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-1 (karmic), package size 29 kB, installed size 156 kB | 08:45 |
| rifter | yeah there | 08:46 |
| asmith | I deleted a file as root, using 'rm fileName' , where the file is gone? I mean where is the trash folder? | 08:46 |
| rifter | 's a daemon I recently installed that si supposed to do stuff like that | 08:46 |
| brjann | bullgard, oh, are you looking for stats on data that's already been transferred? | 08:46 |
| JrodDCx | no its gone forever my friend :( | 08:46 |
| rifter | let me see if I can find it.. I haven't fiddled with it yet | 08:46 |
| user1_ | i have installed karmic full version on my netbook , but now i hear there is a netbook remix for netbooks. am i missing something ? | 08:46 |
| brjann | asmith, hate to say it, but it's gone | 08:46 |
| JrodDCx | there is no trash with rm | 08:46 |
| infid | kostkon: how do i get the 'save for web' plugin? | 08:46 |
| asmith | then why 'df -h' shows no changed in my hard disk? the file was 2gb | 08:47 |
| user1_ | asmith : may be it was emoty | 08:48 |
| user1_ | empty | 08:48 |
| bullgard | brjann: I just installed the DEB program package 'ipband' and will test it. | 08:48 |
| brjann | asmith, not sure. but unless you've done something odd, rm deletes forever | 08:48 |
| kostkon | infid, search for it in software centre. if you don't find it there, then search for it in Synaptic. | 08:48 |
| kostkon | infid, what version of ubuntu do you have? | 08:48 |
| brjann | bullgard, hope it works for you :) | 08:48 |
| infid | kostkon: 9.10 karmic | 08:49 |
| JrodDCx | you might be ablve to recover from rm but you need a undelete utility! | 08:49 |
| bullgard | brjann: Yes. looking for stats on data that's already been transferred. | 08:49 |
| user1_ | i have installed karmic full version on my netbook , but now i hear there is a netbook remix for netbooks. am i missing something ? | 08:49 |
| kostkon | infid, ok | 08:49 |
| asmith | brjann: I deleted nginx log file while nginx was still running. | 08:49 |
| rifter | bullgard, I didn't find it.. I know there are monitoring tools that do that kind of thing. I don't know taht you will be able to recover data on what happened in the past ..you have to havesomething recording that data already when it happens | 08:50 |
| infid | kostkon: gimp-plugin-regstry? | 08:50 |
| rifter | bullgard, I'm checking out tcpstat though it might help | 08:50 |
| brjann | bullgard, ah. sorry to say ipband won't work for that... and I doubt anything will, really. I don't think anything keeps track at the subnet level unless it's asked to. | 08:50 |
| phnom | user1_: Ya, there is a netbook remix for netbooks. | 08:50 |
| rifter | oh | 08:50 |
| rifter | bullgard, youmean only data on the local lan? | 08:51 |
| user1_ | phonm: should i install it on full version? how do i upgrade to it if it has more relevant packages | 08:51 |
| bullgard | rifter: Yes. | 08:51 |
| brjann | asmith, nginx may still have an open file handle or something. you might want to restart it. | 08:51 |
| ale_ | geys | 08:51 |
| rifter | bullgard, I think you might need to look into something like cacti or nagios and see if there's a monitro for that.. | 08:51 |

| JrodDCx | Does anyone know how to switch the new netbook remix to a gnome session ? they got rid of the thing to do it in 9.10 | 08:53 |
| zamba | no worries, then :) | 08:53 |
| kostkon | infid, yes | 08:54 |
| rifter | bullgard, yeah I amlooking at tcpstat now; and it might work with some filters, which are documented in tcpdump, but I can't say I know how to set those filters to do what you want | 08:54 |
| brjann | zamba, and the only reason i know that is because i, too, once thought it meant something was wrong ;) | 08:54 |

| JrodDCx | Does anyone know how i can make my wifi card work at highest possible power ? on a netbook ? | 08:58 |

| darkishdave | pocoyo: Hey | 09:00 |
| JrodDCx | infid: Thanks :) what netbook to you use ? | 09:00 |
| infid | JrodDCx: i had to apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic for my eeepc's AR9285 wireless network adapter , and reboot, then got 90%+ wifi connections | 09:00 |
| infid | JrodDCx: eeepc 1005HAB | 09:00 |
| rifter | oh I was mixed up you wee answering RussellAlan and I was looking at streetboys' question | 09:00 |
| JrodDCx | haha no worrys dude | 09:01 |
| JrodDCx | infid: Thanks dude | 09:01 |
| infid | JrodDCx: just make sure you get the right one for what you have | 09:01 |
| darkishdave | Does any one know how to change the Power button default to "Restart" thourgh the shell | 09:01 |
| JrodDCx | darkishdave: why not just use ctrl+alt+delete ? or a hammer ? | 09:02 |
| darkishdave | haha | 09:03 |
| brjann | darkishdave, check out /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn | 09:03 |
| darkishdave | will do | 09:03 |
| JrodDCx | darkishdave: i think you have to map something in the initrd | 09:03 |
| JrodDCx | config file | 09:03 |
| Mar_Tzipan | infid, got any eeepc optimization recommendations? | 09:05 |
| JrodDCx | Heres one buy a HP ! | 09:05 |

| nXhQXv2W | what does wpa_supplicant -s do? where do I get information on it? | 09:07 |
| brjann | !info wpasupplicant | 09:08 |
| ubottu | wpasupplicant (source: wpasupplicant): client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.9-3ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 372 kB, installed size 964 kB | 09:08 |

| brjann | nXhQXv2W, what do you mean by script? the program is called NetworkManager | 09:15 |
| === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather | ||
| akobed | brjann: this is samsung ml-1710, and i haven't touched the printer settings. this actually happened a few weeks ago after some package updates, so i guess something changed, either ppds or configs | 09:15 |
| jiajintao | join #ubuntu | 09:15 |
| brjann | infid, it's probably because of the interpolation method it used when it reduced the size | 09:16 |

| asmith | sort them by max size , desc | 09:17 |
| akobed | brjann: thanks anyway :-) | 09:17 |
| brjann | akobed, no problem :) | 09:17 |

| titan_ark | hey! need an urgent help with OOo. I was trying to install the odf-converter as docx format documents were garbled and now it is is not opening any documents! is there a way to remove and reinstall all OOo packages? | 09:20 |
| brjann | asmith, in one directory you can use ls -lSh | 09:20 |
| brjann | asmith, -l for long format, -S to sort by size descending, and -h so humans can read the numbers :) | 09:21 |
| JrodDCx | titan_ark: you need to goto synaptic and select reinstall and reinstall the open office packages | 09:21 |
| titan_ark | JrodDCx, there are numerous packages! isnt there an easier way thro the terminal? | 09:21 |
| asmith | brjann: thanks, it includes the files in the sub-directories also? | 09:21 |
| jiajintao | how can i change the channel to those using chinese? | 09:22 |
| asmith | brjann: or -r will do the trick? | 09:22 |
| titan_ark | i would end up missing to install some of the packages that way!!! | 09:22 |
| brjann | asmith, -R will recuse, but it won't sort all files at once, but just in each directory | 09:22 |
| sash_ | asmith: try find /your/path -size yoursize | 09:22 |
| sash_ | man find, look for -size | 09:23 |
| brjann | recurse, even | 09:23 |
| JrodDCx | titan_ark: you can try the openoffice dummy package select remove and see if it marks them all then reinstall :) | 09:23 |
| JrodDCx | How does one apply to be a channel op on #ubuntu ? | 09:26 |

| munsking | can anyone tell me how to burn the freeNAS iso to an USB stick? | 09:27 |
| JrodDCx | use Unetbootin! | 09:27 |
| brjann | titan_ark, and if you're feeling adventurous, sudo aptitude reinstall ~i~nopenoffice | 09:27 |
| JrodDCx | it will do it for you :) | 09:27 |
| munsking | hmmkay, didnt know it was for ubuntu as well :) tnx | 09:28 |
| titan_ark | cool thanks for all the suggestions. | 09:28 |
| titan_ark | brjann, whats nopenoffice? | 09:28 |
| sash_ | munsking: unetbootin? | 09:28 |
| JrodDCx | Its A USB live system creator | 09:29 |
| brjann | titan_ark, that's just how aptitude search strings are written. ~i means installed, ~n means name. so ~nopenoffice means "matches name 'openoffice'" | 09:29 |
| nXhQXv2W | brjann: thanks for the info that helped. How should I configure wireless settings without NetworkManager? or troubleshoot it? | 09:29 |
| munsking | yea i used it once on windows, but i didnt notice it was for linux as well so i forgot about it or something :) | 09:30 |
| titan_ark | brjann, ah okay. got it. i tried purge and remove and it asked me to use autoremove | 09:30 |
| brjann | titan_ark, that's apt-get, not aptitude :) | 09:30 |
| brjann | nXhQXv2W, why without NetworkManager? | 09:31 |
| titan_ark | brjann, :O i did aptitude (thought thats how you do a reinstall and its doing something) | 09:31 |
| brjann | titan_ark, oh, okay. just that aptitude doesn't have an autoremove. i was confused for a second :) | 09:32 |
| nXhQXv2W | brjann: spotty wireless throughput. | 09:32 |
| brjann | nXhQXv2W, I don't know that I would suspect nm as the culprit for that | 09:33 |
| JrodDCx | nXhQXv2W: thats sounds like a driver issue my friend not a ntwork manager one | 09:33 |
| sadfghj | How do I make Empathy use the system proxy? | 09:34 |

| pfarrell | hi. I am trying to make a debian package of a small python program that I wrote. It consists of some python modules (in the namespace diamond.*) and a script that runs them (in /usr/bin/diamond). When I make the package, the .deb has all of the .py files in /usr/share/pyshared, as I would expect. But when I try to run /usr/bin/diamond, it says it cannot find the diamond.* modules; there is no symlink in /usr/lib/python2.X/dist-packages to the | 09:37 |
| pfarrell | /usr/share/pyshared/diamond directory. I've tried calling both dh_pycentral -i and dh_pysupport -i in the debian/rules file, but the same behaviour occurs with both. any ideas? if I add a symlink /usr/lib/python2.X/dist-packages/diamond -> /usr/share/pyshared/diamond, then it works; but I thought that the .deb would take care of that itself | 09:37 |

| titan_ark | at least the documents used to open but with garbled formatting and missing etxt, now the documents dont even open! | 09:44 |
| nXhQXv2W | Erhm "how can I" | 09:44 |
| JrodDCx | nXhQXv2W: I can say 90% it is | 09:44 |
| brjann | nXhQXv2W, networkmanager really doesn't do anything but run other programs that do the heavy lifting. | 09:44 |
| rifter | chrislsp: based onthat I would say yes | 09:44 |
| brjann | titan_ark, and openoffice is in fact installed? | 09:45 |
| JrodDCx | le0: please stay joined or leave ... thanks | 09:45 |
| titan_ark | brjann, yes it is | 09:45 |
| rifter | titan_ark, have you tried running openoffice and then opening the document in openoffice? | 09:46 |

| brjann | titan_ark, one other thing you could do, though, is there's a "missing recommends" filter in synaptic. if there are parts of openoffice that are now missing they'd be in there | 09:48 |
| JrodDCx | le0: oh im sorry :( we've had alot of spammers in the last 10 mins , carry on | 09:48 |

| sonicroxs | can anyone help? | 10:21 |
| madPJKfan | sonix, I get something similar - when I check the sound properties, I have 2 output devices, sometimes I have to change to the second one | 10:22 |
| rifter | sonicroxs, well that could be a problem with the driver (kernel module) for your sound, or with the mixer, (which by default is pulseaudio) | 10:22 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone! For some reason every once in a while my laptop completely locks up(I have to hold the power button down to turn it off). I am trying to figure out what it causing it and am currently going through my logs to find out what is happening. Does anyone know of anyway I can try to narrow down what is causing the problem? I don't have any peripherals or anything connected. | 10:23 |
| itheos | hey can i use remote desktop viewer to see my friend's screen? | 10:23 |
| madPJKfan | fuzzybunny: cosmic rays? | 10:23 |
| Industrial | so I switched window managers in ubuntu... | 10:23 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, you might install the system monitor tools to see cpu usage and temperature.. let me get you the right packages | 10:23 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, my first idea would be memtest | 10:23 |
| Industrial | my sound doesnt work, my internet doesnt work and there is no xorg.conf | 10:24 |
| rifter | brjann, not a bad idea | 10:24 |
| AkhlD | hello people | 10:24 |
| Industrial | why does ubuntu rely on gui apps to configure and connect hardware? | 10:24 |
| madPJKfan | Industrial: xorg.conf is not installed by default - not needed so much these days | 10:24 |
| fuzzybunny | brjann is that through the startup menu? | 10:24 |
| fuzzybunny | err the boot menu | 10:24 |
| nXhQXv2W | How do I find out what chipset (wireless) I have to see if I can install some alternative driver? | 10:24 |
| itheos | how can i use "remote desktop viewer" to see my friend's screen? | 10:25 |
| hiexpo | morning all | 10:25 |
| Industrial | madPJKfan: I know but now I dont know wether I am really running with intel display drivers or not for example | 10:25 |
| madPJKfan | there are a couple of commands, I think | 10:25 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, yep, i believe so. it's not a fast test, definitely something you want to do when you've got a night to let it run | 10:25 |
| madPJKfan | glxinfo mebbe? | 10:25 |
| * AkhlD have reinstalled the ubuntu9.10 and all my files in the other Drive (NTFS) has an extension like *.viCrypt | 10:25 | |
| AkhlD | how do i brin those files back ? | 10:25 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, I think sensors-applet is the applet that puts the sensors onyour bar, and that should depend all the modules you need. that applet shows the temperatures | 10:26 |
| AkhlD | itheos, try VNC | 10:26 |
| madPJKfan | ...thinking... X - version? | 10:26 |
| hiexpo | rifter, yes that's whatthey are i use them | 10:26 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, yeah sensors-applet. you might have to add it to the bar manually after ypou install it | 10:27 |
| AkhlD | anyone have answer for my question ? | 10:27 |
| fuzzybunny | thanks you guys | 10:27 |
| fuzzybunny | I will give it a shot and see what i come up with | 10:27 |
| Industrial | madPJKfan: what about internet and sound? I _need_ to run nm-applet to get internet? theres no initscript for networks? | 10:27 |
| fuzzybunny | what logs should i look in? | 10:27 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, system monitor will show you cpu usage in a running graph, and of course top can break that down for you | 10:28 |
| itheos | doesnt ubuntu provide any such software already installed? how can i expect a noob who has just boot from the live cd to install anything? | 10:28 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, well, usually with a hard crash like that, logs don't help much, as the kernel freezes before it has a chance to complain. | 10:28 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, so besides hardware faiilures like memory, you want to see if there are processes pegging the system or heat issues | 10:28 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, but if there was anything useful, it'd probably be in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log | 10:28 |
| fuzzybunny | if it is a heat issue what would you do in that situation if it is a laptop? | 10:28 |
| fuzzybunny | I am quite a comp addict so it wouldn't surprise me if it is a heat issue | 10:29 |
| gordi | ola | 10:29 |
| hiexpo | fuzzybunny, if its a heat issue i did this fire up the ole compressor and with a airgun blow in the vents problem solved | 10:30 |
| madPJKfan | Industrial - now out of my league - have to go afk, sorry | 10:30 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, my laptop sits on a pad with fans in it | 10:30 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, something like http://www.actfind.com/product_images/y/pcck0202__25103.jpg | 10:31 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, gnome-system-monitor is the system monitor I was talking about | 10:31 |
| jxajro | alo bom dia a todos! | 10:31 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, yeah make sure the laptop is not on something soft that is blocking the vents, you can clean it, too | 10:31 |
| jxajro | pelo amor de deus gente...alguém pode me ajudar com esta porra de ubuntu? | 10:32 |

| jxajro | isto virou o samba do crioulo doido! | 10:32 |

| === andrea is now known as Guest41043 | ||
| rifter | fuzzybunny, and yeah there are stands like they are saying that elevate the laptop for better airflow and may also blow on it with fans | 10:32 |
| jxajro | ok...obrigado | 10:32 |
| al_ | with respect to find, how would you specify -name *.spf and *.md5 ? | 10:32 |
| hiexpo | fuzzybunny, if its overheating it is dirty you need to blow it out normal core temp runs around 120 degrees | 10:32 |
| al_ | -name *.spf && *.md5 ? | 10:32 |
| erUSUL | al_: -name *.spf -name *.md5 | 10:33 |
| al_ | erUSUL: ta | 10:33 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, yeah just that would be a big help. obviously if you're tecnical minded enough and it doesn't void your warranty you could take it apart and clean it more thoroughly. But you're best off just getting the low-hanging fruit and not risking more damage.. laptops can be tougfh to get apart and at least some of them I have seen you need to replace the heatsink compound on certain parts if you open them | 10:34 |
| fuzzybunny | oh ok | 10:34 |
| rifter | fuzzybunny, so, blow air in vents, make sure vents are not blocked | 10:34 |
| fuzzybunny | ok well thanks guys | 10:34 |
| fuzzybunny | I will try all that | 10:34 |
| fuzzybunny | and hopefully can figure it out | 10:34 |

| sabgenton | could some grub2 person tell me: if i back up my grub.cfg and then overwrite it back if I have boot problems is that a bad idea? | 10:45 |
| sabgenton | as all changes now are spose to be done via update-grub | 10:45 |
| sabgenton | does grub just look at grub.cfg and thats it or does it care about all those scripts that got put together when you ran install-grub | 10:45 |
| sabgenton | if it only knows about grub.cfg I would asume overwriting it with a backed up grub.cfg would be ok? | 10:45 |
| erUSUL | sabgenton: grub2 conf is done via /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* | 10:46 |

| indus | FunkyWeasel, hi | 10:47 |
| psycho_oreos | FunkyWeasel, imo pulseaudio is usually the culprit, especially in older versions of *ubuntu | 10:47 |
| indus | FunkyWeasel, there was no pulseaudio in ibex | 10:48 |
| indus | psycho_oreos, as far as ai remember pulse came in hardy | 10:48 |
| psycho_oreos | indus, wasn't hardy before ibex? :) | 10:49 |
| sabgenton | erUSUL: I realize that | 10:49 |
| indus | psycho_oreos, aah oops yes 8.10 | 10:49 |
| indus | :D | 10:49 |
| indus | FunkyWeasel, install 9.10 | 10:49 |
| sabgenton | but I want to back up the grub.cfg that is made from those files | 10:49 |
| indus | FunkyWeasel, did you check with alsamixer if anything is muted | 10:49 |
| FunkyWeasel | indus psycho_oreos: Cheers chaps. Oddly I find that now when I do sound preferences OSS produces a test where Pulse and ALSA produce loud crackles, but only when I plug headphones into the rear audio jack. | 10:49 |
| sabgenton | is that ok? | 10:49 |
| fuzzybunny | oh guys I just have one other question. On my computer(Sony Vaio VGN-CR520D) there is this indicator light that comes on whenever you put the screen down and it is really bright. Is there anyway I can turn it off? In windows there was this sony utility that let you turn it off but I am not sure how to turn it off in linux | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | sabgenton: if you backup a grub.cfg with pointers to kernel no longer installed it will not work when restored | 10:49 |
| sabgenton | if I restore (cp grub.cfg.back grub.cfg) will that be ok? | 10:50 |
| sabgenton | oh | 10:50 |
| FunkyWeasel | Indus: Nothing's muted, and 9.10 is definitely on my to do list - unfortunately this is my work machine and I can still code on it. Having no sound isn't mission critical, apart from my sanity in the office :) | 10:50 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, the bluetooth light? | 10:51 |
| FunkyWeasel | I am also coming to the conclusion that my desktop is f[udg]ed. | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | sabgenton: that's why update-grub is run with kernel install's and removals | 10:51 |
| psycho_oreos | FunkyWeasel, weird, if OSS did pass then it might be issue with driver on ALSA | 10:51 |
| sabgenton | erUSUL: are u simpley taking about if I no longer have the OS / kernel there to boot? | 10:51 |
| sergiiyo | hola | 10:51 |

| sabgenton | erUSUL: yeah thats fine I can handle that | 10:51 |
| FunkyWeasel | Psycho_oreos: True - for now I might try stripping pulse audio and alsa, reinstalling alsa, see if that works. Unless that's a terrible idea of course :) | 10:51 |

| emiliyo | pinocho komeme en el tuenti | 10:54 |
| rifter | FunkyWeasel, I have noticed that sometimes I get stuttering sound in certian applications or crackled distorted sound, using pulseaudio. switching those applications to using esd or starting them with esddsp worked | 10:55 |
| hiexpo | llcoolhodge, what are you trying to do? | 10:55 |
| llcoolhodge | i went to site followed steps but i am not good at ubuntu or computerrs yet can some one help me with steps to download gameboy advance emulator | 10:55 |
| sabgenton | erUSUL: ok from what your say all the new warnings about don't edit grub.cfg in grub2 are mainly waring about it being overridden when update-grub is run | 10:55 |
| rifter | FunkyWeasel, which is funny since the esd commands arer just routes to pulseaudio | 10:55 |
| FunkyWeasel | rifter: That's pretty crazy :) | 10:55 |
| rifter | FunkyWeasel, if you still have pulseaudio installed | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | sabgenton: right | 10:55 |
| brjann | fuzzybunny, bummer. i'm out of ideas ;) | 10:56 |
| sabgenton | erUSUL: /etc/default/grub does have that number yes but I still want to edit grub.cfg from time to time when I boot from another distro to that file | 10:56 |

| joni_noplu | llcoolhodge, which emulator u want to install? | 10:58 |
| rifter | FunkyWeasel, what I mean by that is when pulseaudio is installed it replaces the esd commands with wrappers to pulseaudio | 10:58 |
| sabgenton | and the answer sounds like "yes but just don't come crying when it gets overwritten" | 10:58 |
| rifter | FunkyWeasel, nevertheless using the esd commands worked for me onsome applications | 10:59 |

| sabgenton | erUSUL: so if i do go against the grain and edit grub.cfg I just need to back it up if I really want to hold on to those settings (as it will get overridden) :) | 11:01 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, or go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager | 11:01 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, then search for visualboyadvance | 11:01 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, click the visualboyadvance-gtk to get the one with graphical controls | 11:02 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, and to answer your question on repositories, repositories are where packages you can install are stored. the normal ones are already set upwhen you install ubuntu | 11:02 |
| sabgenton | erUSUL: I know it's not the best but you have confirmed with me that it's not just going to completely blow up in my face if I know a bit about how it works | 11:02 |
| llcoolhodge | where do i find the roms to play with are those going to be different also rifter | 11:03 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, after you click the check box for visualboyadvance-gtk click apply and it shoudl be installed | 11:03 |
| llcoolhodge | yes i did that also rifter | 11:03 |
| rifter | llcoolhodge, can't helpyou on roms, that would be illegal.. but I hear google might know | 11:03 |

| theadmin | Hm. Help please. I want display not to fade out when my computa is idle, i set everything in Power Management to "Never" already, yet it still does it! | 11:11 |
| rifter | yeshuah, and you can use nice when you call it | 11:12 |
| rifter | yeshuah, the next time | 11:12 |
| yeshuah | rifter: (And others) ok thanks - will look up renice and ionice | 11:12 |
| joni_noplu | theadmin, check screensaver settings | 11:12 |
| rifter | theadmin, it is probably your monitor | 11:12 |
| brjann | yeshuah, and just plain old nice | 11:12 |
| theadmin | joni_noplu: o_O *checks* | 11:12 |
| theadmin | rifter: nah, it has no such settings at all | 11:13 |
| rifter | theadmin, somemonitors blank on their own | 11:13 |
| rifter | theadmin, butcheck screen saver first | 11:13 |
| yeshuah | brjann: whats the difference? | 11:13 |
| theadmin | rifter: Yep. It was the problem... Weird screensaver there. | 11:13 |
| brjann | yeshuah, nice launches a process with a given niceness. renice changes the niceness of an already-running process. ionice is like nice, but for IO instead of load | 11:13 |
| peleg_ | Since the upgrade to 8.04, all mp3s I hear are being "cut" every few seconds; that is, the song playing is not fluent, I have this "bumps" or something in the middle of it | 11:14 |

| nXhQXv2W | How do I know what driver is loaded for my card? | 11:19 |
| rifter | peleg, well if it was that wouldn't the sounds not play at all? what did you upgrade from? maybe it's a mixer thning. what kind of apps are you using to play the mp3s? | 11:19 |
| indus | candy__, Hi, other OS can be added by editing the file , /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 11:19 |
| candy__ | bazhang, yes but it didnt work | 11:19 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, it should show up in dmesg | 11:19 |
| indus | candy__, try installking os prober and run it | 11:19 |
| candy__ | indus, but i cant find my other os drive, it only show filesystem of linux not others | 11:19 |
| indus | candy__, sudo apt-get install os-prober | 11:20 |
| nXhQXv2W | rifter: ill try again. is there any reference I should look at? | 11:20 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, this was your wireless card, right? I missed that part | 11:21 |
| nXhQXv2W | rifter: yes | 11:21 |
| GUcko1 | guys what are "personal package archives" 'ppa'? | 11:22 |
| jpds | !ppa | GUcko1 | 11:22 |
| ubottu | GUcko1: 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. | 11:22 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, then you want to look for whether the card got configured under eth0, eth1, or ath0 | 11:22 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, what's happening with it now? | 11:22 |
| indus | GUcko1, that factoid sucks | 11:22 |
| peleg_ | rifter, I have upgraded from 7.10, and I am using VLC. At the moment I am trying to play it with mplayer to see if the problem exists also there. | 11:22 |
| candy__ | indus, ll give a try | 11:22 |
| indus | GUcko1, a ppa lets you install the latest versions of a software | 11:22 |
| jpds | indus: Howso? | 11:22 |
| gartral|p | hey all, im trying to reinstall ubuntu onto my dektop, i keep booting into graphical mode from the cd and getting AUTHENTICATION ERROR" on te vts and Ubuntu on the login screen, not letting me login at all.. | 11:22 |
| jpds | indus: No. | 11:23 |
| indus | GUcko1, its risky and do it at your own risk | 11:23 |
| jpds | indus: Only the versions that are packaged in it. | 11:23 |
| indus | jpds, the factoid talks from a developer point of view , | 11:23 |
| indus | i and many others aint interested with it | 11:23 |
| indus | GUcko1, anyways, so what do you want to do with a PPA | 11:24 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, of course if it did it would show up under ifconfig | 11:24 |
| yeshuah | brjann: ok have run renice on the process running now - setting it to 19 - but I get no performance increase on my webserver | 11:24 |
| brjann | yeshuah, what is the script doing exactly? | 11:24 |
| rifter | nXhQXv2W, otherwise you just have to go through dmesg trying to see if you see something about wireless | 11:25 |
| === jean is now known as Gozzy | ||
| peleg_ | rifter, actually, it looks like the problem does not occur using mplayer. So: is it possilbe that vlc has a problem due to the upgrade? | 11:25 |
| brjann | yeshuah, IO-heavy work? number crunching? | 11:25 |
| indus | GUcko1, for example with the wine ppa, you get to use the latest versions of wine instead of those from the repository ,but it will be unstable or might be | 11:25 |
| abukamel | #linuxac | 11:25 |
| rifter | peleg, maybe or maybe vlc is using a different mixer | 11:25 |
| yeshuah | brjann: it's parsing an xls file - comparing to an xml file - and creating a 2nd xml file from this | 11:25 |
| rifter | peleg, I'd say the latter is more likely | 11:25 |
| yeshuah | brjann: so maybe ionice is more important? | 11:25 |
| nXhQXv2W | rifter: Thanks found it.. | 11:26 |
| gartral|p | how do i tell ubuntu to load the cd toram? | 11:26 |
| brjann | yeshuah, could be, if it's hitting the disk often enough that it's increasing latency for everybody | 11:26 |
| peleg_ | rifter, I see... have any idea how can I check that? How can I check what mixer does it use, and how can I check the mixer itself? | 11:26 |
| rifter | peleg, you can force the mixer by adding a command to the startup, for instance esddsp will tell it to use esd, padsp will tell it to use pulseaudio | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | yeshuah: is the process heavy on i/o ? | 11:27 |
| abukamel | #linuxac | 11:27 |

| gartral|p | whaTs the ubuntu equivelent to linux=toram | 11:27 |
| rifter | peleg, well some programs let you change the mixer in configurations or commands; I'm not sure how to do that to vlc, but I do know if you prepend one of those commands it will reroute the sound t o a different mixer | 11:27 |
| indus | GUcko1, which version of ubuntu? upgrade to latest | 11:27 |
| RolandD | Here is an issue that has been bugging me for years and now it is time to get it solved :) I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and AMP. All is working fine except I cannot edit any files with my own username. All files are set to www-data:www-data and permissions to 644. My account is added to the www-data group. How can I edit files without having to use sudo? | 11:27 |
| GUcko1 | Indus: 9.10 | 11:28 |
| indus | !intel | 11:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 11:28 |
| indus | ok old | 11:28 |
| jrib | RolandD: give the group write permissions | 11:28 |
| GUcko1 | Indus: The new CPUs have the graphic chip integrated with the CPU | 11:28 |
| rifter | yeshuah, nice won't necessarily change the cpu load of a process. what it does is give more slices to other processes | 11:28 |
| bazhang | indus, 9.10 is not old | 11:28 |
| brjann | RolandD, 644 means u=rw, g=r, o=r. you want 664 if you want to be able to write. | 11:28 |
| indus | yes my comment was posted before | 11:28 |
| Sh3r1ff | RolandD: you can't edit because the group rights are set to only read | 11:29 |
| jrib | RolandD: or better yet, make a new group since you probably don't want apache to be able to write to all you files (it already can) | 11:29 |
| indus | but one thing i know is core i3 all features are not used by the kernel in 9.10 | 11:29 |
| Sh3r1ff | RolandD: if you want to edit them with your user, change the rights to 664 | 11:29 |
| gartral|p | how do i load the cd to ram? | 11:29 |
| RolandD | jrib: the files are uploaded via the Joomla installer, this would mean I need to keep changing persmission every time I upload? | 11:29 |
| RolandD | or can I set a default value? | 11:29 |
| yeshuah | rifter: alright - so far neither renice or ionice have changed anything | 11:29 |
| jrib | RolandD: change the joomla preferences | 11:29 |
| gartral|p | same for the i7 | 11:29 |

| madura | jrib: I installed the libraries from package manager and then wrote this small ncurses prog which uses initscr() but the compiler says it cant find that function | 11:32 |
| hiexpo | rifter, - was wondering if it's as good as karmic | 11:32 |
| brjann | yeshuah, be forewarned though that limits can be set harsh enough to cause the kernel to kill the process, and you probably don't want that. so tread lightly. :) | 11:32 |
| gartral|p | indus no, it still accesses cd for alot of resources | 11:32 |
| jrib | madura: what did you install exactly? Did you install the -dev package for ncurses? | 11:32 |
| indus | gartral|p, i have no idea how to load all into ram,too technical :) | 11:33 |
| madura | jrib: well it has the header file now ...what is the name of dev package? | 11:33 |

| yeshuah | brjann: ah no - just forgot to run with sudo - 463564K | 11:46 |
| gartral|p | you can ignor it though and use a "weak" password | 11:46 |
| Superbest | gartral|p, it wn't let me from the about me screen | 11:46 |
| rifter | yeshua top will show you how much memory it is actually using | 11:47 |
| hatasu | again... i install ubuntu yesterday, and i can't see windows in boot screen. what can i do? | 11:47 |
| gartral|p | neither does freaking pulse! | 11:47 |
| madura | jrib its acutally an example | 11:47 |
| madura | jrib: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/ncurses_programs/basics/scanw_example.c | 11:47 |
| brjann | yeshuah, hm. i'm not sure what the best way to limit the memory usage is without risking killing the script. | 11:47 |
| rifter | hatasu, it must not have configured grub automatically to boot to windows | 11:47 |
| rags | rifter: there are a couple of warnings actaully :http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3L8NU6eb | 11:47 |
| rifter | hatasu, you'll need to add it | 11:48 |
| gartral|p | alright, i have a 4000 dpi mouse.. wheres mouse sensativity in ubuntu | 11:48 |
| brjann | yeshuah, so i will take this opportunity to go to bed :) sorry i couldn't help more! | 11:48 |
| oranosx | hey, is it possible to install Plymouth on Karmic? | 11:48 |
| yeshuah | brjann: thanks for trying to help | 11:48 |
| hatasu | rifter: how? | 11:48 |
| jrib | madura: pastebin what you are running in a terminal and the full output | 11:48 |

| Superbest | gartral|p, ok so here's the problem: I set a 7 letter pass at install, then decided to add another one | 11:49 |
| gartral|p | another password or another letter? | 11:49 |
| Superbest | gartral|p, but apparently they were too similar so I couldn't change my pass from "randompas" to "randompass" | 11:49 |
| indus | oranosx, its still being tested in lucid | 11:49 |
| rifter | rags, I think you should be okay with those warnings.. but can you paste your lilo.conf? | 11:49 |
| Superbest | gartral|p, so I set up a temporary password with like 10 letters instead | 11:50 |
| rifter | hatasu, a moment | 11:50 |
| Superbest | gartral|p, but now I can't set it to anything that is shorter | 11:50 |
| hatasu | ok, thanks | 11:50 |
| rags | rifter: Thx for looking at it...I'll give you the conf...jus a sec | 11:50 |
| yeshuah | rifter: running top on the user running the script I get - http://dpaste.com/165146/ | 11:51 |

| === rajesh is now known as Guest56365 | ||
| gartral|p | superbeast your going to have to restart into the recovery shell, set your password there, then reboot back | 11:51 |
| rags | rifter: I am using software raid1..maybe that is the reason for the warnings... | 11:51 |
| rifter | hatasu, this is the howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:51 |
| nXhQXv2W | how do I know what version of the kernel I am running? | 11:51 |
| Superbest | gartral|p, what's the command for password change? | 11:51 |

| hiexpo | uname -r | 11:52 |
| rifter | rags, aha that makes sense then | 11:52 |
| hatasu | rifter: same | 11:53 |
| rags | rifter: so it won't affect the boot process right? | 11:53 |
| nXhQXv2W | Superbest: passwd | 11:53 |
| Superbest | ok thanks guys | 11:53 |
| hatasu | another partition | 11:53 |
| rifter | yeshuah, wellno wonder. your python script is thrashing swap | 11:53 |
| nXhQXv2W | hiexpo: thanks. | 11:53 |
| hiexpo | no prob | 11:54 |
| rifter | rags, it shouldn't but I still wanna see the conf to be sure | 11:54 |
| yeshuah | rifter: is VIRT == swap? | 11:54 |
| rifter | yeshuah, yes | 11:54 |
| rifter | yeshuah, and when a proces uses more swp, it uses more cpu and more hard disk | 11:54 |
| yeshuah | rifter: yeah cos it's continually writing from memory to the disk and back again | 11:55 |
| rifter | yeshuah, so, what does the top part of top look like as far as memory utilization? | 11:55 |
| yeshuah | rifter: http://dpaste.com/165149/ | 11:55 |
| rifter | hatasu, ok so when you do a df -h what drive/partition does it say /is on | 11:55 |
| rags | rifter: Here's my lilo.conf, I've removed the commented stuff out : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/K1mJK9HA | 11:56 |
| rifter | yeshuah, yeah you are using all your ram and all your swap ... you should hit o to change order and then q to change to resident memory to see what processes are using your real ram | 11:57 |
| rifter | yeshuah, oh wait,duh, top is worng about the total res used, but not the per process | 11:58 |
| alabd | hello , Pidgon does not join to yahoo room why ? | 11:58 |
| yeshuah | rifter: so I guess I just have to find a way to optimize the script itself instead then? | 11:59 |
| rifter | yeshuah, when you use the free command it has a second line that gives the total used without buffers included (linux uses practically all your ram for buffers by default,but it frees that when it is needed) since you have all your swap being used,though, it makes me think you might really be using all that memory | 11:59 |
| dlynes | alabd, try in #pidgin | 12:00 |
| rifter | yeshuah, well,what is using the ram? | 12:00 |
| alabd | dlynes: tried | 12:00 |

| dlynes | alabd, they would know a lot better than an average ubuntu user, considering how they're all guaranteed to be pidgin users | 12:00 |
| dlynes | alabd, maybe you just have to catch the channel at a different time of the day | 12:01 |
| rifter | rags, I don't know why it was complaining about /dev/sdb then,unless that is part of the raid or something | 12:01 |
| rags | rifter: It is part of the raid... | 12:02 |
| rww | shroomM: The repositories have 4.4.1, not 4.4.3. Is that sufficient? | 12:02 |
| rifter | rags, ahok. well it's probably fine then | 12:02 |

| shroomM | but am not sure whether it was 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 | 12:03 |
| rags | rifter: it looks like it wrote the records to /dev/sd*...but the actaul disks are md0 and md1 i.e the raid disks...I hope that is fine? | 12:03 |
| Guest52262 | help i have right clicked on folder and in open with option i have changed it to vlc now every folder opens with vlc iam using ubuntu hel guys | 12:03 |
| dlynes | The nfs boot script ordering issue is haunting me about 2 out of every 3 boots on some machines, and 1 out of every 5 boots on others | 12:04 |
| yeshuah | rifter: I presume loading a 3.6mb xml file and 4000line xls file into python - while trying to produce a 1.5mb xml at the time - probably has something to do with it | 12:04 |
| rifter | rags, well I haven't messed with the software raiding,I do it all with hardware. but I would think that since software raid is controlled by the kernel your boot loader still has to reside on one of the physical disks | 12:04 |
| rifter | yeshuah, well that would be a factor in the load the script imposes | 12:05 |
| godatworld | ubuntu 9.10 freezes on boot | 12:05 |

| godatworld | Alt-Ctrl-F1 doesn't help | 12:06 |
| rww | shroomM: It's not in Karmic's repositories, and therefore is unsupported. I personally don't know whether it's doable or how to do it. | 12:06 |

| godatworld | trying to boot from live-usb created from livecd | 12:06 |
| shroomM | rww: oh, i see. thanks anyways | 12:06 |
| rifter | godatworld, have you tried adding acpi=off to the boot load options? | 12:06 |
| yeshuah | rifter: not really - we only have this one slice to do with - I'm thinking of perhaps utilizing a database - so I will load the xml and xls individually and loat their data into a temp db - delete them from memory and then do the comparison by database calls - but not sure wether the amounts of calls on the db will be better for performance | 12:06 |

| Gryllida | jrib: I have to be more specific, since your answers are related to programming. I want an app in which I could type math equations, they should be what you see is what you get; then I should be able to hit a "calculate" button to know the value of a constant expression; or I could hit a "plot in 2D" button to see a graph, in case it is a function of x, and so on... All your suggestions look... | 12:23 |
| Gryllida | ...like applications of programming in math, but I am not very ready to it. Maybe you know some thing more close to what I mean? | 12:23 |
| hatasu | ok, i read that, thanks | 12:23 |

| godatworld | Ok, turns out I misdescribed the problem: It actually loads X, as I can move cursor, but gnome-panel never shows up (just the black screen and the cross which responds to mouse). Ctrl-Alt-F1 & Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work, the keyboard is irresponsive (only Caps Lock works), so I can't access console. If I press power button, it actually shows the console with the standard "The system is... | 12:34 |

| godatworld | ...going down", but there aren't any error messages above it (in the init level). Again, I can't access /var/log, as can't access console in a normal way. Tried acpi=off with and without noapic, no change. | 12:34 |

| rifter | luist you need to add -type f | 12:39 |
| rifter | luist sorry about that | 12:39 |
| luist | rifter, oh to the find? | 12:39 |
| rifter | find [your folder] -type f | 12:39 |
| rifter | find [your folder] -type f | xargs sed 's/BBB/AAA/g' | 12:39 |
| luist | its reading binaries too is that ok | 12:39 |
| rifter | luist, well that is a problem | 12:40 |
| godatworld | lyx is WYSIWYG | 12:40 |
| AlienDK | I LIKE UBUNTU | 12:40 |
| godatworld | not for novices | 12:40 |
| godatworld | as it lacks the structure of TEX | 12:40 |
| rifter | luist, you probably don't want to change strings in a binary, taht makes the script a little tougher but hi si show you do it | 12:40 |
| Josh90 | Chaning the spin down on a laptop does it have any effect at all. | 12:40 |
| luist | rifter, well the only non-text files here i think are images... i can just move them and run it | 12:41 |
| godatworld | Josh90: (lol, i'm crazy) quantum mechanical spin? | 12:41 |
| AlienDK | YOU ARE CRAZY | 12:41 |
| luist | rifter, but... is there a way to print only the occurrences? it seems to be printing everything of the file content | 12:41 |
| AlienDK | I AM CRAZY | 12:41 |
| FloodBot3 | AlienDK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:42 |
| AlienDK | WE ARE CRAZY | 12:42 |
| nXhQXv2W | ectropy: Looks like your looking for wpa_supplicant | 12:42 |
| Josh90 | godatworld: Yeh | 12:42 |
| AlienDK | Stupid floodbot | 12:42 |
| Gnosiz | Can you get Quicktime player for Linux? | 12:42 |
| godatworld | Gnosiz: for browsers or stand-alone? | 12:43 |
| rifter | find [your folder] -type f | while read file; do ftyp=`file $file | awlk '{ print $2}'`; if [ "$ftyp" == "ASCII" ] then sed 's/BBB/AAA/g' $file; fi; done | 12:43 |
| AlienDK | Quicktime sucks | 12:43 |
| rifter | let me check tat real quick | 12:43 |
| Gnosiz | For browsers godatworld. | 12:43 |
| iceroot | AlienDK: you have a support-question? | 12:43 |
| Gnosiz | I'm trying to watch a video that needs Quicktime, I downloaded two suggested plugins and the video works. But the quality is substantially lower than it should be. | 12:44 |
| AlienDK | Quicktime sucks | 12:44 |
| AlienDK | Apple generally sucks | 12:44 |
| AlienDK | Don't use Apple products | 12:44 |
| Myrtti | AlienDK: did you have any productive input to this discussion? | 12:45 |
| AlienDK | Nope | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | AlienDK: then why bother? | 12:45 |
| AlienDK | :) | 12:45 |
| AlienDK | Because I'm bored | 12:45 |
| Myrtti | AlienDK: this isn't a place for that | 12:45 |
| Gnosiz | It was a rhetorical question AlienDK. | 12:45 |
| hatasu | rifter: what should I write now to 40_custom? :) | 12:45 |
| AlienDK | You guys are boring | 12:46 |
| hatasu | file is now included in this: exec tail -n +3 $0 | 12:47 |
| hatasu | rifter: | 12:47 |
| luist | rifter, maybe i could use grep -I to filter the binaries? | 12:47 |
| indus | hatasu, title Microsoft Windows XP Professional | 12:49 |
| indus | rootnoverify (hd2,0) | 12:49 |
| indus | savedefault | 12:49 |
| indus | makeactive | 12:49 |
| indus | map (hd0) (hd2) | 12:49 |
| FloodBot3 | indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:49 |
| indus | map (hd2) (hd0) | 12:49 |
| indus | hatasu, ignore the map lines | 12:49 |
| rifter | luist this works: find seddirectory -type f | while read file; do ftyp=`file $file | awk '{ print $2}'`; if [ "$ftyp" == "ASCII" ]; then sed 's/BBB/AAA/g' $file; fi; done | 12:49 |
| iceroot | is there a way to use "at" without a file but with a direct command? | 12:49 |
| indus | hatasu, and use proper partition names for yours | 12:49 |
| indus | hatasu, get it? | 12:50 |
| rifter | luist, the file command checks what kind of fiel a file is | 12:50 |
| rifter | luist, ASCII text will show ASCII text when you do the file command | 12:50 |
| hatasu | ok | 12:50 |
| hatasu | i try it | 12:50 |
| gsnedders | Hey, the kernel doesn't appear to to be killing processes when they eat up loads of memory and everything becomes impossibly slow as everything goes to swap | 12:50 |

| godatworld | going down", but there aren't any error messages above it (in the init level). Again, I can't access /var/log, as can't access console in a normal way. Tried acpi=off with and without noapic, no change. | 12:51 |
| godatworld | damn | 12:51 |
| iceroot | jrib: hm, then i was doing something wrong | 12:51 |
| jrib | iceroot: hmm? | 12:51 |
| godatworld | Could somebody plz suggest any solution: I'm booting from livecd (liveusb actually). It loads X, as I can move cursor, but gnome-panel never shows up (just the black screen and the cross which responds to mouse). Ctrl-Alt-F1 & Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work, the keyboard is irresponsive (only Caps Lock works), so I can't access console. If I press power button, it actually shows the console... | 12:52 |
| godatworld | ...with the standard "The system is going down", but there aren't any error messages above it (in the init level). Again, I can't access /var/log, as can't access console in a normal way. Tried acpi=off with and without noapic, no change. | 12:52 |
| snake_ | hi | 12:52 |
| rifter | indus wouldn't he use hd0,0 ? | 12:52 |
| bazhang | godatworld, created with usb-creator or unetbootin | 12:52 |
| godatworld | either | 12:52 |
| indus | rifter, if its first device and no zero nope, now it starts from 1 | 12:52 |
| bazhang | godatworld, which was yours | 12:52 |
| snake_ | hi have problem with monitors, two monitors one with pivot | 12:52 |
| godatworld | tried both, same result | 12:52 |
| indus | rifter, partition naming has changed with grub2 | 12:52 |
| hatasu | ok | 12:53 |
| bazhang | godatworld, sounds like a bad 'burn' then; took me a couple of tries with unetbootin to get it right | 12:53 |
| iceroot | jrib: at 'echo "foo"' 13:55 | 12:53 |
| bazhang | godatworld, may also want to md5 the iso | 12:53 |
| godatworld | bachang: nope, i'm afraid it's not a bad "burn" | 12:53 |
| hatasu | before the "exec tail -n +3 $0"? | 12:54 |
| godatworld | it would not boot at all | 12:54 |
| jrib | iceroot: that's not stdin :P You can do something like this if you wish: echo foo | command_that_reads_stdin | 12:54 |
| hatasu | or after | 12:54 |
| godatworld | md5 is verified | 12:54 |
| iceroot | jrib: ah "at 13:55" then its asking for stdin | 12:54 |
| snake_ | can someone help me with configurations monitors ?? | 12:54 |
| indus | hatasu, nio after | 12:54 |
| jrib | iceroot: yeah | 12:54 |
| moos3 | I need a good sip phone for ubuntu any recommendations? | 12:54 |
| hatasu | no after? ok | 12:55 |
| indus | hatasu, its clearly written there, after the tail thing | 12:55 |
| indus | hatasu, i mean yes, write after the tail | 12:55 |
| iceroot | jrib: and in my example i forgot < so i was thinkg at < "echo foo" 13:55 is stdin | 12:55 |
| BigMack83 | im getting issues with vlc being able to play some avi videos. when attempting to play then it gives me the error: No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format " ". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 12:55 |
| indus | hatasu, DOnt touch anythng else, but do you know your windows partition? | 12:55 |
| BigMack83 | but the sounds still plays in the backgroud for the video | 12:55 |
| luist | rifter, it actually prints a log of stuff but its not replace everything :P | 12:55 |
| BigMack83 | video also plays fine in movie player | 12:55 |
| indus | hatasu, sudo fdisk -l will tell you | 12:55 |
| BigMack83 | any idea what the issue could be? | 12:56 |
| iceroot | jrib: and how to "stop" stdin? so i can send EOF | 12:56 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 12:58 |
| rifter | luist it should be printing the lines it is changing and also replacing | 12:58 |

| rifter | luist maybe it is a problem with your regular expression | 12:59 |
| erUSUL | Evet: you can use it in kde afaik. but there is kdenetworkmanager or something like 5that | 12:59 |
| bazhang | Evet, I would assume that kde4 has a widget for that purpose | 12:59 |
| rifter | luist how about you tell me what AAA and BBB are | 12:59 |

| ubottu | indus hatasu: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:00 |

| dlynes | Linuxhippy, you'll need to register before you can file | 13:15 |
| rifter | dupondje, I don't know a command that does that you will probably have to write a script that checks the packages you have on your system, determines what files they use, greps out the ones that are in the directory you are concerned about, and then gives you a list which you can use ls -I to ignore | 13:15 |

| indus | Linuxhippy, its being done to streamline the bug reporting process so proper bug reports are files | 13:18 |
| indus | filed | 13:18 |
| zvacet | Linuxhippy: this is Ubuntu support chanell so I presumed you are ubuntu user | 13:19 |
| indus | Linuxhippy, so from a terminal type ubuntu-bug -p <example is pidgin package> will collect all relevant data for bug | 13:19 |
| Linuxhippy | so why doesn't "report a bug" lead to a new-bug-form, but to a wiki page explaining howto file a bug | 13:19 |
| indus | Linuxhippy, read above, | 13:19 |
| indus | Linuxhippy, many bugs are reported without any relevant data and wastes space | 13:19 |
| Linuxhippy | that does not only guide away noobs | 13:19 |
| abhi_nav | indus: which type you have selected while typing? inscript, phonetic etc which one? | 13:19 |
| dlynes | Linuxhippy, did you do the 'report a bug' link that I mentioned? | 13:20 |
| Myrtti | Linuxhippy: the noobs are told to use ubuntu-bug -tool | 13:20 |
| indus | abhi_nav, actually i cant see that inscipt thing, iam searching | 13:20 |
| Linuxhippy | indus: I don't run ubuntu, so no go with ubuntu-bug ^^ | 13:20 |
| indus | dlynes, the report a bug wont work now | 13:20 |
| rifter | dupondje, if there is I have no clue what it would be,unfortunately | 13:20 |
| dlynes | Linuxhippy, I followed (this is my first time using it), and it directed me to register, after which it told me about this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Filing%20bugs%20at%20Launchpad.net | 13:20 |
| Linuxhippy | jep I'll try more hard to get that stuff files ;) | 13:20 |

| indus | dlynes, please read post above | 13:20 |
| * indus sighs | 13:20 | |
| rifter | dupondje, however you might check perl python and shell script forums to see if someone wrote one | 13:20 |
| dlynes | mebilgin, congratulations loser | 13:21 |
| Myrtti | dlynes: the trolls don't need encouragment | 13:21 |
| rifter | dupondje, any debian variant script will work for what you want | 13:21 |

| clopxy | how come when I mount a windows server share with mount and the file_mode=644 option, I still get files in the mount showing up as 777? | 13:22 |
| dlynes | indus, his problem is that on the machine that's got the bugs, it doesn't have internet connectivity | 13:22 |
| dlynes | indus, personally, I would have the same issue...all of my ubuntu installs are done on non-internet connected networks | 13:24 |
| dlynes | clopxy, because it's a windows share...".exe", ".com" and ".dll" files still show up with executable privilege, regardless | 13:25 |
| dlynes | clopxy, it's not specific to ubuntu | 13:25 |
| maria | hola hay alguien español | 13:25 |
| Myrtti | !es | maria | 13:25 |
| ubottu | maria: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 13:25 |
| maria | hay alguien de pablo picasso | 13:25 |
| clopxy | dlynes, isn't it a little dangerous to have /all/ files come up 777? what if a user double click on it? | 13:26 |
| maria | el colegio de la linea | 13:26 |
| dlynes | clopxy, you didn't say all files were showing up 777...you were non-specific | 13:26 |
| dlynes | clopxy, you also haven't specified what type of filesystem you're mounting | 13:27 |
| clopxy | dlynes, sorry, yes. All directoriesand files from the client seem to have 777 | 13:27 |
| clopxy | cifs | 13:27 |
| clopxy | NTFS on the server | 13:27 |
| dlynes | clopxy, under Windows, it could be NTFS, HPFS, or FAT | 13:27 |
| dlynes | clopxy, so it's a cifs file system, then | 13:27 |
| dlynes | clopxy, you definitely shouldn't be getting executable permissions, then | 13:28 |
| dkantic | public /join #france24 | 13:28 |
| dlynes | clopxy, have you tried mounting without specifying mounting permissions? | 13:28 |
| clopxy | dlynes, yes. same thing... | 13:29 |
| dlynes | clopxy, How are you mounting it? | 13:29 |

| abhi_nav | wire means? | 14:10 |
| gartral | network cable | 14:10 |
| abhi_nav | gartral yes I have broadband ethernet cable | 14:11 |
| pngll | gartral, ouch. I don't see anything that looks like MBR. I'll try rebooting and look again for any specific error message. | 14:11 |
| pngll | gartral, be back in a bit | 14:11 |

| abhi_nav_ | gartral: sorry i was restarting comp. may we continue now? | 14:21 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral you there? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: wassup? | 14:22 |
| pngll | join #unbuntu-fr | 14:23 |
| abhi_nav_ | ActionParsnip: wireless not working. no driver listed in hardware driver applet. ubuntu 9.04. wireless was working after fresh installtion of ubuntu for 10 days | 14:23 |
| rifter | <gartral> abhi_nav: ok, open a console, type sudo dhclient wlan0 | 14:23 |
| rifter | <abhi_nav> gartral: can you wait for 2 sec. because i have to leave from here and log in to admin account? | 14:23 |

| nd__ | Aloha | 14:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | ?? | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: ok does: sudo iwlist scan ,show access points currently? | 14:24 |
| nd__ | How do I get an subversion 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04? | 14:24 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: yes, what happened? you pinged out? | 14:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | <gartral> you could have waited and learned something new | 14:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | <abhi_nav> I thing you are waitin for me to log me in as admin. so i made hurry | 14:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | <abhi_nav> think | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Nd__: ppa or compile | 14:25 |
| pngll | gartral, hmm things didn't improve. I removed windows 7 from the boot options, and for some reason I now have to manually tell the BIOS which hard drive to boot from. Also I didn't see anything special on the GRUB CLI, but when I enter the command "boot" it tells me "no kernel loaded". | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Pngll: add the boot in the others config file for grub | 14:25 |
| rifter | pngll, do you mean you are pressing like f12 to get boot options from the bios and specifying the drive? | 14:26 |
| nd__ | ActionParsnip: ppa? I had hoped for some way to apt-get it | 14:26 |
| pngll | rifter, yes (esc. actually) | 14:26 |
| abhi_nav_ | ActionParsnip: gartral: after sudo dhclient wlan0 it is showing lines one byone and now wireless button is blue | 14:26 |
| rifter | pngll, because from the bios point of view you should have the boot drive set in there | 14:26 |
| pngll | ActionParsnip, I don't understand what you mean. | 14:26 |
| rifter | pngll, under setup | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Nd__: yes, you add the ppa then you can apt-get the package from the ppa automagically | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Nd__: a ppa is basically an unofficial repo | 14:26 |
| gartral | pngll: ok, no, your situation has improved marginally, now you need to reinstall ubuntu again, this time from the graphical installer with the disk in the drive at boot | 14:26 |
| pngll | rifter, yeah, I'll try to get into the boot options and make it permanent. I still find it weird that removing Windows7 from the boot options (in msconfig) resulted in my having to do this. | 14:27 |
| abhi_nav_ | ActionParsnip: gartral: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384397/ | 14:27 |
| rifter | pngll, it is a puzzle to be sure | 14:27 |
| rifter | pngll, it may just be an unhappy coincidence | 14:27 |
| ujjain | Is it true that only the Ubuntu alternate installer can create LVM partitions?? Seems such a vital option. And where can I find this alternate CD? | 14:27 |
| rifter | pngll, in computing, sometimes when it rains it pours | 14:27 |
| pngll | rifter, possibly :) | 14:27 |
| pngll | gartral, ok, I'll burn a live cd and move on from here. | 14:28 |
| gartral | pngll,rifter no, it's a side effect of removing the primary boot loader (7's old one), sorry i forgot to warn you | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: ok run: sudo iwlist scan | 14:28 |
| abhi_nav_ | ActionParsnip: gartral: each time i need to go by this command line? | 14:28 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: | 14:28 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: you there? | 14:28 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: yes | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: for now yes, until you get sorted | 14:29 |
| ujjain | PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD << How many bits is this? | 14:29 |
| gartral | you never told me what happened.. i figured the conflict of internet paths bumped you off freenode | 14:29 |
| abhi_nav_ | ActionParsnip: & gartral: result of iwlist scan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384399/ | 14:29 |
| BeeStone | hi | 14:29 |
| rifter | ujjain, I amnot sure but I would imagine that the server version of ubuntu can do this http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Ujjain: 700mb | 14:30 |
| rifter | ujjain, I mean I am sure server version supports lvm | 14:30 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: do me a favor, unplug your network wire, and run sudo dhclient wlan0 | 14:30 |
| rifter | ujjain, wnat I am not sure of is whether you have to use that version to get it | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: great the wifi is detected and can scan | 14:30 |
| ujjain | ujjain: I don't run a server, i downloaded desktop-64 bits and it did not support LVM. | 14:31 |
| ujjain | ActionParsnip: 32 bit or 64 bit? PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD | 14:31 |
| ujjain | I have heard people using an x term for 64-bits, not even x64. | 14:31 |
| gartral | ujjain: why do you need the alternate install cd? | 14:31 |
| BeeStone | I'm going to install windows xp to run on this computer with my ubuntu 9.10. I've heard that if I install XP after installing ubuntu, I need to reinstall grub | 14:31 |
| ujjain | gartral: Because I need LVM. | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav_ | ?? | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ujjain: the difference between the 2 is tiny (download size-wise) | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral ?? | 14:31 |
| BeeStone | so which package I exactly have to reinstall, that one called grub-pc? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Beestone: correct | 14:32 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral you read what ActionParsnip's msg? what should I do? I am new on wifi topic | 14:32 |
| rifter | gartral, he wants to be able to use lvm | 14:32 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: do me a favor, unplug your network cable, and run sudo dhclient wlan0 for me again, i think your issue was that you started two networking paths.. and ubuntu doesnt handle that nicely | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Beestone: install xp first but a lot the partition for xp to a portion of the drive rather than the whole drive, this will avoid the need to mess with resizing | 14:32 |
| PFA | if i have a video file and a subtitle text file, is there any way to offset the display of subtitles in totem, VLC or any other player such that all of the titles are displayed a little earlier or later? | 14:33 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: dhclient wlan0 result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384397/ | 14:33 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: ok wait | 14:33 |
| PFA | the only other thing i can think of to do is to directly edit the video file and chop a few seconds off the beginning, but i'd rather not have to try to mess with that | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Beestone: ubuntu can then be installed in the remaining unpartitioned space and the dualboot will be handles | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Handled* | 14:34 |
| BeeStone | but I have already this ubuntu and I'd like to just install XP on a second HD which I added on this computer just for XP | 14:34 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: disconnect your hardline before running that command | 14:34 |
| alfatau | hello, i installed a command line debian 9.10 desktop. now i would want to connect with my external 56k dialup modem, but i'm always getting the error pppd "Remote message: Autentication failed" even if i used the same user/passwd i'm using now to connect here. what can i do? thank you for your attention | 14:34 |
| BeeStone | so I think I would save time if I just install XP and then reinstall grub with linux livecd | 14:34 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: result after unplugging cable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384401/ | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Beestone: that's fine, xp will add its bootloader to the other drive and grub will remain, you will need to update grub so it sees the alternate OS | 14:35 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, pastebin your lspci -nnk output | 14:35 |
| minderaser | Does anyone here have experience getting the Broadcom BCM4312 wireless working in 9.10? I've been struggling with this for hours and am getting nowhere | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Beestone: it won't need reinstalling if xp has its own full drive | 14:35 |
| rifter | alfatau, doyou hear the modem connecting at least? | 14:35 |
| justin_ | I can't run qwibber. Get this error: http://pastebin.com/u7BqnH6E | 14:35 |
| psycho_oreos | minderaser, you need broadcom wl package | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | minderaser | 14:35 |
| ubottu | minderaser: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:35 |
| BeeStone | OK, thank you, so just installing XP to the other drive and problem solved :) | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Minderaser: I've seen folks succeed with that using fwcutter etc | 14:36 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos result of lspci -nnk: v | 14:36 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos result of lspci -nnk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384403/ | 14:36 |
| psycho_oreos | err that wouldn't be it I'm afraid, BCM4315 cannot be used with bcm43xx/b43 unless one has newer kernel, newer than 9.10 | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Minderaser: does: gksudo jockey-gtk ,not offer a driver | 14:36 |
| alfatau | rifter: yes, the preceeding message was "Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1" | 14:36 |
| alfatau | rifter: if it can be useful... | 14:37 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, yeah the device seems to be functioning, if you can get iwlist wlan0 scan to work you can't connect? | 14:37 |
| justin_ | I can't run qwibber. Get this error: http://pastebin.com/u7BqnH6E | 14:37 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: long press the wifi button upwards of 15 secconds | 14:37 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: wifi button is already on it is blue | 14:37 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: try psycho_oreos idea first | 14:37 |
| abhi_nav_ | ok | 14:37 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: im asking you to tell your wifi hardware to reset itself ;) | 14:38 |
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: psycho_oreos should I try to connect while eth is connected? | 14:38 |
| abhi_nav_ | ok | 14:38 |
| tristanik | cè nessuno che mi puo dare su una wep? | 14:38 |
| minderaser | psycho_oreos: I've tried that with instructions from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php. No luck | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Justin_: is there a bug logged for it | 14:38 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, not a good idea, epecially when you have got an IP address from your router | 14:38 |
| gartral | abhi_nav_: i would disconect eth cable | 14:38 |
| psycho_oreos | minderaser, I believe there's a package in ubuntu repos for that | 14:38 |
| === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc | ||
| abhi_nav_ | gartral: psycho_oreos ok i disconnect from cable i try to connect wifi you wait haan | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav: now its actually doing the right stuff does network manager work as it should? | 14:39 |
| minderaser | psycho_oreos I'll have to look into that when I get get a wired connection | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_nav_: could also try installing wicd via the cable and rebooting. Might play nice | 14:40 |
| psycho_oreos | minderaser, you don't have wired connection? heh | 14:40 |
| minderaser | ActionParsnip: I'll see what I can get done with the link you sent | 14:40 |
| rifter | alfatau, well it's been awhile since I dealt with ppp but I am thinking about an authentication method issue. you say you are connecting now with the same name and password.. under what os? | 14:40 |
| matt1s | I have managed to close down that applet that shows Pidgin, Empathy and Evolution, how do I get it back? | 14:40 |
| pocisk | yyyyyyyyyyy | 14:40 |
| suma | hi.. can anyone tell me how to connect to internet in ubuntu 9.04 using reliance netconnect | 14:41 |
| alfatau | rifter: now windows xp | 14:41 |
| minderaser | psycho_oreos: Well, there's one here, but my g/f's young son would have a fit if I interrupted his runescape game :-\ | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Suma: does it use a usb modem? Is it 3G? You need to tell us more | 14:42 |
| gartral | is wine working right for 64 bit yet? | 14:42 |
| psycho_oreos | minderaser, ahh typical, well I think if you went through hardware drivers you should be able to install wl | 14:42 |
| alfatau | rifter: i noticed looking at /var/log/syslog there's a message saying "PAP Autentication failed"... while i choosed CHAP from pppconfig... | 14:42 |
| rifter | alfatau, yeah that's what I am thinking of | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, I've been trying to get wicd to work with the Belkin USB wifi adapter RT2870 driver , no luck with ndiswrapper or wpa_supplicanr thru the cli either ...really stumped. Wicd worked great with it in jaunty ,but not in karmic and lucid | 14:43 |
| rifter | alfatau, some isps used mschap | 14:43 |
| rifter | alfatau, which is a windows-only extension of chap | 14:43 |
| suma | hello... can anyone help me solving my problem | 14:43 |
| rifter | alfatau, but I think there is a solution let me see | 14:43 |
| alfatau | rifter: well, is there a way to use CHAP? i choosed CHAP in pppconfig... while pppd still tries connecting using PAP? | 14:44 |
| matt1s | How can I start the Indicator Applet??? | 14:44 |
| psycho_oreos | suma, never used reliance netconnect, never heard of it as well | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Blueskaj: I use it after I kept getting asked for pam passwords. Pus its de independant :). Weird its not paying. Did you tell wicd the wifi interface name? | 14:44 |
| rifter | alfatau, you have t o use what the isp is using | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Suma: we can't help you unless you give details | 14:45 |
| rifter | alfatau, I am looking at the methods for getting mschap on there | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, the IF name, essid name , even tried static IP ...nothing | 14:45 |
| psycho_oreos | BluesKaj, I'm sure there's rt2870-sta driver floating in the ubuntu repository | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Blueskaj: tried the curses interface too? Should be identical but worth a try | 14:46 |
| rifter | alfatau, although.. maybe you should see what happens when you choose pap since it's saying pap authentication failed | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, curses interface ? | 14:46 |
| alfatau | rifter: thank you. i'm looking what method my isp wants we use... | 14:46 |
| Voltaplein | Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Blueskaj: it has a cli interface | 14:47 |
| psycho_oreos | ncurses, GUI lookalike command line | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav_ | dear gartral and ActionParsnip: psycho_oreos: i am unable to connect using wifi. actually there is one more prob that while on this ethernet, i can connect to it but every app on my comp shows that i am not connected I means there is something more to do with this | 14:47 |
| alfatau | rifter: so i should chooose pap instead of chap? | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, like /etc/network/interfaces for my eth0 connection ? | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Suma: you can't seriously expect us to know the technicalities of every worldwide provider. No details == little or no help. Your choice | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav_ | i have, network manager, network, wifi radar, xnetcardconfig. among that only xnetcardconfig works for ethernet all other just dont detect that cable is connected | 14:48 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, I think some programs like firefox may work offline, but if you used nm those applications may become aware | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Blueskaj: type wicd and hit tab | 14:48 |
| Lanlost | Hey, if I'm writing a bash script and I have a command that I don't want it's output to display in the terminal during the script.. how can I get its output redirected to.. /dev/null | 14:48 |
| sash_ | Lanlost: command > /dev/null | 14:48 |
| abhi_nav_ | what is nm? | 14:48 |
| rifter | alfatau, you should try it and see, meanwhile I am looking into how to get the mschap modules on so you can use that in case the answer is to use mschap | 14:48 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, network manager | 14:48 |
| Lanlost | <Lanlost> such as like echo "Test" > /dev/null .. type statement | 14:49 |
| Lanlost | heh, I said that in a another channel. | 14:49 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, in that case it is, but usually nm on irc is known as never mind | 14:49 |
| Lanlost | I didn't test it first of course.. it doesn't work with the command I want | 14:49 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos: that network manager applet tells me that eth cable is not connected and no wifi is on | 14:49 |
| abhi_nav_ | !nm | 14:49 |
| rifter | actually you don't want to write to /dev/null like that | 14:49 |
| jevidl | Does anyone have some suggestions to troubleshoot /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ scripts? I have checked the permissions on the script, and it runs correctly if I call it manually. All the reading I've been able to find indicates that scripts in this directory should be run when networking is started up. Am I misunderstanding how this should work? Am I missing something? | 14:49 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, so you need to switch wifi on, btw you shouldn't have more than one application controlling the interfaces, it'll only conflict | 14:49 |
| alfatau | rifter: ok | 14:50 |
| Lanlost | I'm not using that.. I wanted it to work for pactl when you load pulseaudio modules.. it says "failed to load module" or whatever OR just outputs a number.. if I try to forward it to /dev/null it prints it anyway.. | 14:50 |
| Lanlost | brent@redroom ~ $ pactl load-module yourface >> /dev/null | 14:50 |
| Lanlost | Failure: Module initalization failed | 14:50 |
| alfatau | rifter: i need to disconnect. i'll come back in a while (i hope with ubuntu box), thank you a lot | 14:50 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos: my wifi is on xnetcardconfig and 'Network' can detect it but network manager cant and 'Network' can only theoretically conncts my eth but xnet.. is one who actually connecte me to eth | 14:51 |
| rifter | alfatau, ok see you soon | 14:51 |
| === back is now known as look | ||
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, the thing that stumps me is why are you using xnetcardconfig and not network manager? | 14:51 |
| abhi_nav_ | becaue network manager tell me that i have not connected any cable to computer (but in real it is there connected) and xnet (only) can detect and connecte me to internet | 14:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos: becaue network manager tell me that i have not connected any cable to computer (but in real it is there connected) and xnet (only) can detect and connecte me to internet | 14:52 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, I think in that case, the interface for wired is actually turned off | 14:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos: how to turn it on for eth and wireless? | 14:52 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, its not hard to turn the wired interface up, a simple terminal/console command like ifconfig ethX up | 14:52 |
| sash_ | abhi_nav_: is NetworkManager started | 14:53 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, and no I wouldn't recommend associating both wired and wireless, it'll never work with multiple gateways | 14:53 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! When I log into XFCE or KDE all is fine, but when I log into GNOME, my screen resolution is undisplayable by my monitor. How can I change it? | 14:53 |
| abhi_nav_ | sash_ NetworkManager is started and is ther on top right corner. I cn left/right click on it, can go to properties etc | 14:53 |
| sash_ | this is not NetworkManager | 14:53 |
| sash_ | this is the nm-applet | 14:54 |
| pipegeek | How does one go about creating a wallpaper bundle like "cosmos", such that the wallpaper changes periodically? I put some images in a directory, copied /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos/background-1.xml into that directory and edited it to match said files, and restarted gnome, and it's still not showing up in the wallpaper control panel | 14:54 |
| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos : i done ifconfig eth0 up but network manager is still sleeping | 14:54 |

| pipegeek | I like that nautilus can be made to change your background periodically, but I'd like it if I could tell it to use *my* pictures | 14:55 |
| abhi_nav_ | ssh_ which network manager then? | 14:55 |
| gartral | brb all | 14:55 |
| sash_ | abhi_nav_: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager | 14:56 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, probably because of all the other network interface programs running and causing a collision, you need to kill them and use network manager | 14:56 |
| abhi_nav_ | sash_ are you talking about syste=>admin=>network? | 14:56 |
| dsnyders | pipegeek, You could see if you could find the folder where it keeps its photos, then put yours there. | 14:56 |

| Cyclope | guys any idea how to kill a particular screen session? | 14:56 |

| abhi_nav_ | ok | 14:56 |
| faileas_ | Cyclope: do you use screen profiles? | 14:56 |
| sash_ | abhi_nav_: try /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start or stop and then start. then killall nm-applet and nm-applet | 14:57 |
| dsnyders | pipegeek, Sorry, I missed that. All I saw was the part where you tried to point it at your photos. | 14:57 |
| pipegeek | ah | 14:57 |

| abhi_nav_ | psycho_oreos: and sash_ when initialy ther only was network manager (that top right one) in my pc (after 10 days of installation) it started to show me that cable is not connected, but in real i can open web browser can i am able to surf internet. in show i am connected to net but network manager dont know this. do from that net i installed xnet and all other softwares | 14:58 |
| icorbett | Cyclope: then it is likely not just the screen session that is hung | 14:58 |
| Cyclope | faileas_ no just screen sessions | 14:58 |
| Voltaplein | Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it | 14:59 |
| icorbett | Cyclope: try logging in via a separate console and run `screen -DR` to try to reattach | 14:59 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav_, well stop them from running, disable them from loading at boot | 14:59 |
| Cyclope | thanks icorbett and faileas_, as icorbett pointed out there was a process in hung state :) | 14:59 |

| abhi_nav_ | sash_ ok | 15:01 |
| abstrakt | Rix, man wget | 15:01 |
| abstrakt | Rix, it goes in to . by default | 15:01 |
| abstrakt | Rix, you could just cd into where you want to be first | 15:01 |
| abstrakt | Rix, or you could read the manual | 15:01 |

| MixLaToR | Hello guys, i want resize my windows to lower space so that i can add the free space created to my Ubuntu 9.10 ..how to ? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: use gparted in livecd | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: make sure your backups are recent incase of catastrophe | 15:07 |

| sbts | Rix: you actually want -P targetDIR | 15:08 |
| rifter | ActionParsnip, you are correct | 15:08 |
| rifter | justin_, do you have smbfs installed? | 15:08 |
| Raimokoo_sauna | + | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: it will allow you to resize the partitions to get more space. It shouldn't harm anything | 15:08 |
| MixLaToR | ActionParsnip, this is how to: reboot from my liveCD, resize windows partition from 70 Go to 50 Go , format the 20 Go ext3 ...and reboot from the hard....is this right ? | 15:08 |
| sbts | Rix: as long as you read the description of the options the man page is actually consise. | 15:09 |
| justin_ | rifter, Yes, I do. | 15:09 |
| dsnyders | MixLaToR, You forgot: Back up windows in case of catastrophe... step one. | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: you can write to ntfs in linux so why not just have a folder you can dump stuff in. You can symlink it into you home folder for easy access | 15:09 |
| rifter | justin_, well what happens when you do the mount -t smbfs command manually wih the same options that are in fstab? | 15:09 |
| rifter | justin_, er put sudo in the front of that obviously | 15:10 |
| rifter | sbts, indeed it is | 15:10 |

| hmw | i once had a "desklet" that displays cpu, network and other statistics. it was roughly 20% width of the desktop and 100% height, dark and transparent. I can't remember, what it was. Can you tell me, which programs to check out? | 15:11 |
| jevidl | Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do further troubleshooting? | 15:11 |
| rifter | sbts, -O is for a file | 15:11 |
| justin_ | rifter, it worked! But I had to put the IP address of the server instead of the server name | 15:11 |
| sbts | hmw: sounds like gkrellm | 15:11 |
| rifter | justin_, well then you have a dns problem | 15:11 |
| bazhang | hmw, conky? | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: gotcha, yeah you'll need to resize to get more room. Once your backups are sound you can go crazy and restore if it goes bad. It should be fine though. There are guides all over | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !resize | 15:12 |
| sbts | rifter: Yep sure is, use it all the time, but had to check man page for -P | 15:12 |
| rifter | justin_, when you do nslookup [servername] what happens? and are you using a fully qualified domain name or just the server name | 15:12 |
| hmw | sbts: bazhang: thanks, checking | 15:12 |
| justin_ | Well, I can use the IP address, that is not a big deal. :) When I tried to mount the second though, it says can not change directory into mount target /media/video | 15:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Mixlator: one of those says how to resize ntfs partitions | 15:13 |
| rifter | justin_, if /etc/resolv.conf does not have your taregt domain specified under domain or search then you have to specify the domain when referring to the servers | 15:13 |

| rifter | justin_, /medis/video exists? | 15:14 |
| sbts | anyone here know of problems with the AU mirrors? having issues with updates on multiple machines :( | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Dandy: try mplayer. Vlc doesn't use multiple cores | 15:14 |
| rifter | justin_, /media/video I mean | 15:14 |

| dandy | ActionParsnip: I think mplayer is the same, infact it might be even worse, let me just try again | 15:16 |
| rifter | justin_, when you say "it could not change directory" do you mean that mount gave you an error, or that after you mounted you could not change directory | 15:16 |
| pracidio | ok | 15:16 |
| justin_ | rifter, yes, I can cd into it | 15:16 |
| rifter | justin_, which is it | 15:16 |
| justin_ | rifter, the mount command said that it could not change directories | 15:16 |
| sbts | justin_: another thing to check, is the spelling of both the dir and the mount command | 15:17 |
| rifter | justin_, well it sounds like an authentication problem ... | 15:17 |

| rifter | justin_, that'll do it | 15:18 |
| Voltaplein | Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it | 15:18 |
| rifter | justin_, we can still fix dns if you want to | 15:18 |
| justin_ | rifter, smbclient produced Domain=[JPSERVER] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] | 15:19 |
| sbts | hmw: gkrellm does all of that, there are quite a number of options and plugins for it too. | 15:19 |
| rifter | justin_, yeah if the mount is working now the smbclient is superfluous.. we were gonna use that to test authentication | 15:19 |
| justin_ | rifter, O. How do I fix dns then? | 15:20 |
| sbts | hmw: other than gkrellm and conky (which I have never used) I can't think of any others, unless you check out the screenlets package, there may be something there. | 15:20 |
| rifter | justin_, well, first, were you specifying just the servername or servername.domain | 15:20 |
| justin_ | just the server name. Resolv.conf says my domain is just belkin | 15:21 |
| justin_ | rifter, just the server name. Resolv.conf says my domain is just belkin | 15:21 |
| rifter | justin_, well that is why | 15:21 |
| justin_ | rifter, so in fstab, i need to add .belkin after servername? | 15:21 |
| rifter | justin_, either you need to specify the server and domain name, or you have to have search include the domain name | 15:21 |
| rifter | justin_, no ... ok so are you saying that you don't have a dns server? | 15:22 |
| justin_ | rifter, just the dns built in the router aka 192.168.2.1 | 15:22 |
| Rix | sbts, thanks | 15:22 |
| rifter | justin_, if you don't have a dns server to service your domain you need to use ip addresses or the /etc/hosts file | 15:23 |
| justin_ | rifter, Well, the IP address works fine with me, it never changes since the server is always on | 15:23 |
| rifter | justin_, yeah in that case your options are to use ip addresses, a hosts file, or set up the dns server. IT sounds like to me what you need to choose is the hosts file.. that is the easiest option | 15:23 |
| rifter | justin_, well that works, too. but iof you want to use names you can add them to th e/etc/hosts file .. that's up to you | 15:24 |
| justin_ | rifter, how would I do that? Add the ip address to hosts and the desired domain name next to it? | 15:25 |
| Maletor | I just raid 5'd my 4tb's on ubuntu | 15:26 |
| sbts | justin_: for a very long time I have always setup small (less than 20 pc's) networks with static IP addresses and used the hosts file (on windows and linux machines) to manage name to IP mapping. | 15:26 |
| jevidl | scripts located in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ should be executed before the interface is brought up, correct? | 15:26 |
| sbts | justin_: in linux edit hosts and add lines like "192.168.0.123 mickeymouse" | 15:26 |
| rifter | justin_, you add the server name and ip address | 15:26 |
| rifter | justin_, you don't have a domain so you can ignore that | 15:27 |
| danblick | Could anyone recommend a good strategy for maintaining my system configuration scripts in version control? (e.g., /etc/apache2/httpd.conf , or /etc/puppet). Are there packaging guidelines I should know about? | 15:27 |
| sbts | justin_: then when you want to refer to the machine you can just use the name "mickeymouse" | 15:27 |
| rifter | sbts agreed for this sort of thing hosts is more than adequate | 15:27 |
| sbts | obviously don't include the quotes in the file | 15:27 |
| justin_ | sbts, rifter, Thanks! I am going to reboot real quick to see if /etc/fstab will work properly | 15:28 |

| sbts | DuCkNeT: specifically what do you need to do, did you accidentaly delete the file? also what filesystem is it on? | 15:30 |
| justin_ | rifter, sbts Thanks! Worked like a charm! Would I run into problems if I had those file shares mount as ~/Music and ~/Video instead of directories in /media? | 15:31 |
| sbts | suma: I have no experiance with the reliance netconnect, is it an adsl modem? | 15:31 |

| maria | no entendo | 15:33 |
| DuCkNeT | i move it in gui... | 15:33 |
| DuCkNeT | cut and paste | 15:33 |
| suma | sbts:its new one. just 1 month before i bought it. i can connect it in windows xp. but i don't know how to connect it in ubuntu 9.04 | 15:33 |
| justin_ | sbts, Have not decided yet, but I am generally a banshee guy | 15:34 |

| sbts | justin_: cool | 15:34 |
| ecolitan | DuCkNeT: what kind of file? | 15:34 |
| justin_ | sbts, It works best with my Droid | 15:34 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: ouch, that may make things more difficult, I am assuming, as you are using ext4, that the system is 9.10 (karmic) | 15:35 |
| DuCkNeT | ecolitan its a text file with no extensions | 15:35 |
| DuCkNeT | sbts extact... | 15:35 |
| minderaser | So, I've installed the proprietary drivers for my broadcom wireless but can't get it to activate through Hardware Drivers | 15:35 |
| suma | sbts:i also tried ubuntu 9.10. but it's asking for keyring. even though i entered my admin password many times there, it isn't accepting it. | 15:36 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: do you have a partial copy of the text, or even and EXACT copy of one or more lines in the text? | 15:36 |
| minderaser | crap, I gotta run | 15:37 |
| obscurant1st | when ever i try clicking on the drives listed in computer:/// it asks for password, | 15:37 |
| sbts | suma: normally the password for the keyring is not your admin password, the first time you used the keyring, you actually get asked for a new password. | 15:37 |

| vpathak__ | is the link (created by ln -s ) really writeable by anyone? | 15:43 |
| DuCkNeT | sbts i know what could have been in the text .... | 15:43 |
| marcin_ | erUSUL: thank you | 15:43 |
| sbts | suma: one thing you can try (on 9.10) is to move the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default and ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring to a different location, this will remove the existing keyring password and let you set a new one. It will however also remove all passwords that have previously been stored in the keychain. | 15:43 |
| mrxjoy | erUSUL, Intel Corp PRO/Wireless 3945ABG | 15:43 |
| stdisease | marcin_, as for IRC it's pretty simple check out guides and howtos on the web, as for extended partitions, Linux is perfect installable on them. Whatever your distro is you usually have to choose the customize partitions option or the advanced installation. | 15:43 |
| vpathak_ | hello - anyone knows why a soft link always has a permission of lrwxrwxrwx ? Even a chmod -w does not seem to make it readonly. | 15:44 |
| erUSUL | mrxjoy: should work out of the box. if you click on the nm-applet (right up corner an icon with two computers) do you see a menu with networks around you ? | 15:44 |
| vpathak_ | is the link (created by ln -s ) really writeable by anyone? | 15:44 |
| stdisease | vpathak_, because setting permissions on the symlink itself is meaningless, the actual permissions will be of the target file | 15:44 |

| erUSUL | mrxjoy: yep | 15:46 |
| stdisease | vpathak_, again it's 'writable' only if the destination is writable, or if by writable you mean someone able to modify it, then you need to check the permissions of the directory it is in. | 15:46 |

| mrxjoy | erUSUL, can I configure the wireless setting via CLI? | 15:48 |

| Dr_Willis | phox_: very likely. No. | 15:53 |
| JR_w | stdisease: Thankd! | 15:53 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: ok the best thing to do here would be shutdown the machine and reboot in from a live cd, then come back here for further help, basically you will need to do somthing like sudo grep -i -a -U -Bx -Ay 'known text from file' /dev/sda1 | tee /tmp/recovered.txt this assumes that the drive is /dev/sda and the partition the file is on is partition 1. also you will need to change the -Bx to -B10 (for example) and -Ay to -A10 (for example). | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !undelete | phox_ | 15:53 |
| ae86-drifter | phox_, photorec | 15:53 |
| ubottu | phox_: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 15:53 |
| stdisease | {g}: try vimdiff without the '-' I think it automatically reads from stdin when given 1 arg | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | phox_: You formated a ntfs to be ext3/4 and now want the ntfs files back? | 15:53 |
| stdisease | {g}: hmm no nvm | 15:53 |
| phox_ | Dr_Willis: yes. | 15:53 |
| DuCkNeT | sbts ok so i boot with karmic cd live and then come back here and you explain me this ? | 15:53 |
| ae86-drifter | phox_, if undelete fails use photorec | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | phox_: all i can say is good luck. Try the tools suggested I guess. | 15:54 |
| JR_w | Oh, and Dr_Willis, Too-- thanks | 15:55 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: Yes I can try, unfortunately the grep (which is a search) can take a very long time for something like this. | 15:56 |
| sbts | suma: did you manage to move the files OK? | 15:56 |
| DuCkNeT | sbts has to be from live cd ? | 15:56 |
| rifter | phox_, there are data recovery services that might be able to recover drives from formats, but it could cost thousands o fdollars | 15:57 |
| brma | Anyone ever try to install any of the ubuntu ports for powerpc? It errors early in the task of installing the base system, without any particular reason given. | 15:57 |
| rifter | http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=data+recovery+service | 15:57 |
| sbts | suma: as Dr_Willis said you will be best to update from the web, but if you just want to test if it will work, boot from the live cd and try, you shouldn't have issues with the keyring that way either. | 15:57 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: basically that is the best way, the longer you are running the machine with the harddrive mounted, the more chance you have of permanently obliterating the data you want to retrieve | 15:58 |
| hens | #jember | 15:58 |
| sbts | phox_: there is a very good company here in Australia that does data recovery at very reasonable rates, they also take on work from all around the globe, give me a moment and I will find a link for you | 15:59 |

| sbts | phox_: and rifter: the url for the company is http://www.payam.com.au I have personally spoken to the manager and have clients that have used them, all reports have been 5+ stars | 16:01 |
| daviid | hellooo | 16:01 |
| phox_ | sbts: is that better then using photorec? | 16:01 |
| sbts | vHanda: very unlikely, the device needs rsync support too. | 16:01 |
| SirLoseALot | hello daviid ... | 16:02 |
| SirLoseALot | Could someone please have a look at that link I posted? I really would like to get this thing to work | 16:02 |
| rifter | phox_, it depends on two things, how much the data is worth to you and how much you are willing to spend to get it back | 16:02 |
| sbts | phox_: you may have some luck with photorec, but make sure the drive is mounted readonly. once anything starts writing to the drive, your chances drop VERY rapidly. | 16:03 |
| daviid | waths your namess? | 16:03 |
| phox_ | rifter: the thing is that the comp is my brothers and i kinda deleted it all without asking, so i kinda have to do it | 16:03 |

| MilitantPotato1 | phox_: there's several bootable partition recovery tools, check out Ultimate Boot CD. it worked alright for me, didn't get everythng. | 16:04 |

| ubottu | phox_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:04 |
| MilitantPotato1 | sbts: likely it's unrecoverable then. | 16:04 |
| sbts | I have done quite a bit of data recovery for clients in the past, if I get the drive straight away, before anyone else plays with it, the sucess rate can be very high, often 100%, but once anything gets written to the drive sucess drops very rapidly | 16:04 |
| stdisease | SirLoseALot, looks like to me the driver is a bit old for the kernel version you are running | 16:04 |
| phox_ | ive surfed with it for like an hour or two, and played around just a little. Nothing much | 16:05 |

| stdisease | SirLoseALot, check if your kernel headers are installed or if that isn't working try downgrading to an older kernel if you are comfortable with that | 16:06 |

| rifter | MilitantPotato1, ultimate boot cd is very useful | 16:07 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest71807 | ||

| jelly-bean | is there an easy way to manage package management upgrades across many servers? (e.g. receive notifications of pending updates, execute upgrades in batch) | 16:07 |
| hardikar | arundracula: Gnome-shell is a program but very buggy at the moment | 16:08 |
| sbts | suma: no problems, when it first askes you to set a keyring password, if you leave it blank, it will never ask again, but beware, this means that any passwords you store on the machine are in plain text, anyone can read them. It is best to set a password when asked, possibly the same as your login password, this makes it easier to remember :) | 16:08 |
| MilitantPotato1 | rifter: shame it doesn't include chkdsk by default. | 16:08 |
| phox_ | militantpotato1, lol no i already told my brother i formated it.. I feel real bad | 16:08 |
| arundracula | ok | 16:09 |
| === orion is now known as Guest19240 | ||

| MilitantPotato1 | phox_: Mistakes happen, hopefully he made backups frequently if not, lesson learned yea? | 16:09 |
| sbts | phox_: if that is the case, you likely will have a hard job recovering old photos, but things that were saved more recently may be ok. can you please run "df -h" in a terminal and post the results for /dev/sdax where x is all numbers reported | 16:10 |
| phox_ | sbts: im not on that computer right now. Im not sure if i wanna start it and write even moore to it, mayby i should just leave it to some professionel. | 16:11 |
| SirLoseALot | stdisease: Sorry, was kind of busy in the terminal. For some reason it seems to mess around with 2.6.31-14. My latest and installed kernel is 2.6.31-19, though... | 16:11 |
| sbts | phox_: if you have a live CD around, boot from that, you shouldn't make it any worse atm. | 16:12 |
| roszak | I have just installed ubuntu for the first time (karmic, kernel 2.6.31-20). This is a new laptop, and a vga monitor that worked fine with my old debian laptop will not connect to the ubuntu machine. Am I missing a process here? In debian the external monitor would come up at the gnome login menu. Any ideas on how to fix this. | 16:12 |
| SirLoseALot | stdisease: I wouldn't know how to downgrade a kernel, so I suppose I may just end up not being able to use the cam. Seems to be the only driver, dates back to '07 | 16:12 |
| sbts | phox_: once you have booted from a live cd, let me know and I will help you mount it readonly, df needs the filesystem to be mounted :( | 16:13 |
| archboxman | SirLoseALot: can | 16:13 |

| SirLoseALot | archboxman: Unfortunately, I'm not even quite sure what that means. | 16:14 |
| phox_ | sbts: well the weird thing is that when i tried to install ubuntu from the live cd it took ages to even get into the install-menu, and most of the times i tried it didnt even work. I think the disk might be broken. | 16:14 |
| phox_ | sbts: and as i said, ubuntu says it has bad sectors and stuff | 16:14 |
| zukalk | hi, i'm trying to mount an external hfsplus formatted drive. i had to disable journaling through my mac in order to be able to mount the drive as RW in ubuntu and that worked out fine, and then overnight it stopped working altogether. i'm in a live environment now and the drive is automatically mounted but is RO, even though /etc/mtab says it's been mounted as RW. doing umount and forcing mount -o rw doesn't solve it. any ideas? | 16:14 |
| stdisease | SirLoseALot, downgrading a kernel just means installing an older version of it, say one from a previous version of this distribution. | 16:14 |
| archboxman | SirLoseALot: means you use the driver for the old kernel and have it associated with the new kernel | 16:15 |

| sbts | phox_: no problem, there are a couple of good linux tools that you can investigate, search aptitude for terms like "data recovery" and "forensic" (I think I spelled that right). to overcome the problems with booting the laptop from the live CD, I would remove the drive, and connect it to another machine, if it is a SATA drive this is a direct plugin, if it is an IDE drive you will need an adaptor. don't use a usb adaptor though as it will be co | 16:22 |

| archboxman | SirLoseALot: already ran accross that most are saying to compile the source code in order for the camera to work ... need to find model to download source code and compile to run with kernel | 16:40 |

| rethus1 | die ubuntu 9.10 not have menu.lst for grub anymore ??? | 16:42 |
| SirLoseALot | archboxman: I have a link to the proper driver source, though | 16:42 |
| archboxman | SirLoseALot: windows or linux???? | 16:42 |
| trism | !grub2 | rethus1 | 16:42 |
| ubottu | rethus1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 16:42 |
| SirLoseALot | archboxman: Linux! http://home.mag.cx/messenger/ | 16:43 |
| trism | rethus1: no, it uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but you shouldn't edit that directly, the wiki page has a good overview | 16:43 |
| xiven | Hey guys I have a problem | 16:43 |
| Mav89 | hey guys | 16:43 |
| Mav89 | sorry, was away. | 16:43 |
| SirLoseALot | archboxman: If you check the first picture link, you'll find that it shows my cam | 16:43 |
| xiven | For some reason, when gnome starts up..all it has is the deesktop background, and two icons | 16:43 |
| archboxman | I see | 16:43 |
| rethus1 | trism: thanks, thats exactly what i'm searching for | 16:43 |
| xiven | I think it may have been a screen resolution that got set WAY too big by accident. | 16:43 |
| archboxman | SirLoseALot: let me read up on solutions... this sounds like a standard driver... | 16:44 |
| xiven | My question is...how in the heck do I fix it at this point? I am not knowledgable enough to really be messing around with commands like xrandr.... | 16:44 |
| SirLoseALot | archboxman: Ok, doing a quick reboot, brb | 16:44 |
| rethus1 | trism: so little question... i have installed xubuntu (with gnome enviroment). I have no splash-screen, only quite boot-up. How can i set a splash, wich schows also the things doing on bootup (loading some stuff) ? | 16:46 |
| rethus1 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" on the configfile | 16:46 |
| rethus1 | what have i to change here to get a splash-screen? | 16:46 |
| irv_ | how can i reinstall the bootloader in the terminal with a livecd after my xp install wiped it out? | 16:46 |
| trism | rethus1: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 16:47 |
| rethus1 | trism: ah, sorry. i haven't read far enough... now i see it into the wiki | 16:47 |
| rethus1 | have only to remove "quite" from "quite splash" | 16:48 |
| lorenzo_ | #ubuntu-it | 16:48 |
| roszak | sbts: this is a laptop. an hp dv7. | 16:49 |
| DBeets | rethus1: quiet will work better than quite. | 16:49 |
| rethus1 | but only "splash" doesn't work in karmic...says the wiki :( | 16:49 |
| trism | rethus1: oh you wanted to remove the splash screen, I thought you meant you didn't have one, actually you probably want to remove splash, not quiet (you can remove quiet if you want but it will show you probably more information than you want) | 16:49 |
| sbts | archboxman: xiven what happens if you hold down the windows key and scroll the mouse wheel? | 16:49 |
| sudipta | hey,can anyone tell me how to enable visual effect in ubuntu 8.04?? | 16:49 |
| rethus1 | trism: for now i only have black screen without anything | 16:50 |
| sbts | archboxman: xiven on some systems this will "zoom" the screen in and out | 16:50 |
| sudipta | my graphics card is NVIDIA geforce 7300 SE/7200 GS | 16:50 |
| rethus1 | thats strange, cause this pc should get to someone who not familar with pc... and i'm afraid he turn the pc off, if screen is only black | 16:50 |
| archboxman | sbts: what are you taking about in compize it will turn the screen around... | 16:50 |
| koltroll | Hi people. When I'm using the "Show desktop" future in compiz in shows the desktop right away, however when restoring (pressing the button again) it takes 4-5s before actually showing the windows again. Any idea on what this can b? | 16:50 |
| rethus1 | maybe its only a problem with my graphic-card that the image not shown? | 16:51 |
| DBeets | rethus1: If you want a splash, you need to set it to "quiet splash" | 16:52 |
| sbts | roszak: the first thing you will need to do is try shutting down (power off) then reboot with the monitor connected. then if the login screen appears on the wrong screen use the fn key and the "switch monitor" key to cycle through the possible combinations. only press the key combo once, then wait for the change to happen before pressing it again as it can take several seconds each time. | 16:53 |
| rethus1 | it is set to quiet splash, but i have only black screen | 16:53 |
| archboxman | sbts: well the problem with that is I am running ubuntu on my laptop and Arch Linux on this system... wont work in Arch Linux nor am I trying to zoom in and out if you press ctrl + n in Firefox it turns everything negitive and crtl+ "+" it makes everything zoom in... | 16:54 |
| sudipta | hey anyone there?????????????? | 16:54 |
| rethus1 | other question... i have removed now older kernal .. but if i do update-grub2 the old one are all listed again | 16:54 |
| rethus1 | why | 16:54 |
| rethus1 | have i to vremove some stuff manualy | 16:54 |
| roszak | sbts: I've tried those steps. The most I can get the fn-F4 combo to do is make the screen flicker for a second. Nothing happens to the external monitor. | 16:55 |
| sbts | archboxman: I have a karmic (9.10) install here that out of the box zooms the screen if you hold the windows key down while scrolling, switching screens is on another modifier key. and I can assure you, that I have not changed the bindings :) | 16:55 |
| archboxman | sbts: further more you could also use the handy cap feature with Assitive Technologies and zoom in the screen | 16:55 |
| Flannel | rethus1: How did you remove the kernel? | 16:56 |
| rethus1 | via synaptic | 16:56 |
| DBeets | rethus1: what is your GRUB_GFXMODE set to? | 16:56 |
| rethus1 | #GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 16:57 |
| cbx | What does the F9 key do? and how do I load widgets there? | 16:57 |
| rethus1 | comment out | 16:57 |
| rethus1 | ah one moment | 16:57 |
| rethus1 | this one: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 | 16:57 |
| archboxman | sbts: since we are playing quizies ... in compiz you can use Enhanced Zoom Desktop under Accessibility to Zoom the screen... | 16:57 |
| sbts | archboxman: that is the feature that I am refering to, it is on by default with this installation :) and I was wondering if that is what caused the problem for xiven where he only had 2 icons and nothing else visible. | 16:57 |
| DBeets | rethus1: uncomment that line and try it. | 16:58 |
| Argento | Hi all, i'm trying to dual boot with ubuntu (i currently use xp), but i have a very old bios and i'm concerned that it won't read the partition? | 16:58 |
| Argento | if i format ubuntu on FAT32 should i be okay? | 16:58 |
| petsounds | sudipta, you want to enable compiz? | 16:59 |
| irv_ | don't run FAT32, no | 16:59 |
| trism | rethus1: check to see that the kernels are not still in /boot, because the grub2 kernel prober just looks for kernels in /boot and adds them...if they are still there, I don't think you really removed the correct packages | 16:59 |
| archboxman | sbts: was working on a web cam issue with another user not a 2 icons visible... nor do I think that would apply... | 16:59 |
| irv_ | it will support EXT2 or EXT3 | 16:59 |
| irv_ | or EXT4 | 16:59 |
| rethus1 | trism: they are all in /boot | 16:59 |
| Argento | If i install ubuntu on ntfs | 16:59 |

| rethus1 | should i remove them.. ot did this made automaticly after reboot (till now i doesn't reboot after removein older kernel with synaptic) | 17:00 |
| DBeets | Argento: Linux does not run on ntfs. It will need it's own partition(s) | 17:00 |

| iceroot | Argento: and there is no reason to use ntfs | 17:00 |
| coolcat | hi, I want to profile a library I have written using gprof, do I have to compile it specifying the flags in configure process like: ./configure CPPFLAGS=-pg, and then link the main program to it? | 17:00 |
| trism | rethus1: don't remove them manually, check to make sure the linux-image- packages for them are not still installed, those are the ones that contain the kernels | 17:00 |
| irv_ | Argento: format with ext3 or ext4 | 17:00 |
| Argento | DBeets: if xp is taking up all my disk space currently, when i go to make room for ubuntu during installation, how do i access both? | 17:00 |
| sladen | iceroot: Argento: except if you are using the Wubi installer | 17:01 |
| trism | rethus1: when you remove them, grub should automatically update to remove them too | 17:01 |
| rethus1 | trism: k, i recheck it synaptic | 17:01 |
| irv_ | resize the XP partition first | 17:01 |
| DBeets | ^what he said | 17:01 |
| irv_ | then in the spare space, create another partition | 17:01 |
| iceroot | sladen: io wubi is creating ext3/4 for that part | 17:01 |
| irv_ | Argento: you may need a 3rd party app for doing that in windows | 17:01 |
| irv_ | partition magic works just fine | 17:01 |

It took a few minutes to work out what had happened, and that windowskey + scrollwheel would reverse it | 17:03 |

| Amqui | the curl functions of php5 are not working on ubuntu, why ? | 17:36 |
| rifter | sbts, which in the case of rsync would be weird, but ok :D | 17:36 |
| jevidl | Southern_Gentlem: sure. Understanable :) | 17:36 |
| sixofour | sbts also, i am using headphones regularly, manually going into terminal to adjust voluems isn't effecient | 17:36 |
| MegaHerz | Crimius: I see this dialog. In a tab it has Devices, and the only device in there is: Analog Stereo Duplex. Where is configuration? | 17:36 |
| sixofour | regularly meaning switching back and forth | 17:36 |
| MegaHerz | Crimius: I mean, I see no channels | 17:36 |
| rifter | sbts, then again I have sen security setups that block ssh as a security risk, and so require telnet and rsh as "more secure" :D | 17:37 |
| jevidl | sbts: I've been trying to track down why scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ are not running correctly on boot up. I have checked the permissions and they are ok (755), and I can run the script manually without error. | 17:37 |
| rysiek|pl | !poulsbo | 17:37 |
| MegaHerz | Crimius: and in output tab (or how its called in English - dunno - Russian here) there is only one channel: Analog Stereo | 17:37 |
| Southern_Gentlem | jevidl, thanks for your time, i am going to have to track down the gal that i hang out with at the shows | 17:37 |
| Ferran | I am trying to arrange to synccontacts & calendar between *buntu & a Smartphone. I did a bunch of reading, and there seems to be all sorts of bad feelings/opinions between Opensync, SymcML, KDE. No on-time releases, not clear what works and not, and so on. | 17:38 |
| jevidl | rexz: you just need mdadm and follow the software raid guide. it works fine on desktop | 17:38 |
| Ferran | Is it even possible? I would think SOMEBODY does it already. | 17:38 |
| rethus1 | what is the easyest way to change boot-splash in 9.10? | 17:38 |
| rexz | thanks | 17:38 |
| rethus1 | maybe only to switch a image-file | 17:38 |
| jevidl | rexz: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID if you haven't found it yet | 17:38 |
| sbts | sixofour: jevidl that's right, I couldn't find it when I scrolled back :), One thought I had was for you to check the owner and group, are they both set as root? | 17:39 |
| sbts | DuCkNeT: finding that for you now | 17:39 |
| jevidl | sbts: yeah. it's really frustrating, it matches other systems we have that are setup the same way and work fine. | 17:39 |
| Crimius | megaherz: that's the closest I know of to what you're looking for. maybe someone else here will know | 17:39 |
| sixofour | sbts ? | 17:39 |
| MegaHerz | Crimius: thanks anyway | 17:39 |

| mco1 | Hello. I just migrated my ubuntu server 9.04 to 9.10 and encounter various problems now regarding samba. Anyone interested in helping me? | 17:43 |
| sixofour | i can do it with ossxmix | 17:43 |
| sbts | sixofour: there are other mixers for oss, just can't remember their names atm, once you have worked out which mixer channels you need to adjust, you can create a script that can be run from the gui to mute/unmute as required. | 17:44 |
| guntbert | mco1: #ubuntu-server might be a better source for your problem | 17:44 |
| mco1 | thank you | 17:44 |
| sbts | sixofour: the GUI mixer may even be able to do the job, but you will probably have to ask it to show extra controls | 17:44 |

| sisif | jevidl, It`s called NVIDIA X Server Settings | 17:51 |
| DBeets | acovrig: I don't get what you're asking | 17:51 |
| acovrig | Can i have ubuntu check for email from a email account and execute a command from a certain email address? | 17:52 |
| jevidl | sisif: ok. Unfortunately I probably don't have any better ideas other than make sure you've got twinview enabled and manually set your resolutions. I've had really great luck with the proprietary driver | 17:52 |
| sisif | jevidl, come to think of if, the dual-display works ok, only thing is that I can`t configure the proper resolution for the two LCDs | 17:52 |
| rifter | acovrig, you'd want some kind of perl script for that | 17:53 |
| rifter | acovrig, soin theory, yes | 17:53 |

| ubottu | Ferran: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 18:00 |
| sisif | Hey , guys? What exactly is the line in xorg.conf to set up the display resolution ? (nvidia driver) | 18:01 |
| Tecan | aha i had to allow unstable packages | 18:01 |
| Ferran | guntbert: I did ask my real question, and nobody answered. Thanks anyway. | 18:01 |
| rifter | Ferran, mine cheats and uses google for most of the stuff you would sync, and then you can sync files liek a usb drive | 18:01 |
| fhermeni | hy | 18:03 |
| rifter | for the record his question was | 18:03 |
| rifter | <Ferran> I am trying to arrange to synccontacts & calendar between *buntu & a Smartphone. I did a bunch of reading, and there seems to be all sorts of bad feelings/opinions between Opensync, SymcML, KDE. No on-time releases, not clear what works and not, and so on. | 18:03 |
| rifter | <Ferran> Is it even possible? I would think SOMEBODY does it already. | 18:03 |
| FloodBot3 | rifter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:03 |
| Ferran | rifter: Yeah there's the sync through Google path. Not the best choice for me. I am just very surprised that Smartphone sync with a PIM is not available! Or at least that I haven't been able to determin how yet. | 18:03 |
| acovrig | Ferran, i sync my palmos pda, can't find symbian support for my phone tho :( | 18:03 |
| fhermeni | I ave trouble with booting a xen VM debootstrapped: At boot, it ignores all my custom init.d files | 18:03 |
| fhermeni | symlinks are present and I can launch them by myself | 18:04 |
| rifter | Ferran, what smartphone are you using, anyway? method will depend on pplatform | 18:04 |
| Ferran | rifter: Not chosen yet. I am trying to find something that works on the Linux side 1st. That seems to be a necessary step. Otherwise I would buy iPhones. | 18:05 |
| sbts | sixofour: interesting, I was unaware that OSS had had a comeback, it was such a mess for so long. I would suggest that you probably need to ask your questions on an oss specific channel or forum, ubuntu by default uses alsa, as I think do most current distro's | 18:05 |

| sinurge | has anyone noticed that sudo apt-get update is very very slow | 18:06 |
| sinurge | or is it case its a dev release | 18:06 |
| mgolisch | sinurge: maybe your mirrors are slow? | 18:07 |
| sisif | What exactly is the line in xorg.conf to set up the display resolution ? (nvidia driver) | 18:07 |
| sinurge | yeah could be how can change to another mirror | 18:07 |
| mgolisch | sisif: by default there is no such configuration option set , it doesnt automatic detection bydefault | 18:08 |
| rifter | Ferran, the new webos phone (I have one) donot have a standard pim sync like previous plamos ones did | 18:08 |
| mgolisch | it does | 18:08 |
| rifter | Ferran, it is a matter of some contention | 18:08 |
| sisif | mgolisch : and what if the detection fails ? | 18:08 |
| Ferran | rifter From the other day I had an argument in #kde telling me that I am 'stupid' for wanting things on Linux to work like they do on Mac & Windows -- like the syncing that is very available -- and that I should "shut up and do it yourself". | 18:08 |
| purpzey | How do I refresh the list of networks in the wifi network app? | 18:09 |

| mgolisch | sisif: whats the problem anyways? cant choose the resolution you want to use? or what? | 18:09 |
| Ferran | rifter for the new Palm phones I read that a SyncML client MAY come soon. Hopefully before the company goes out of business. | 18:09 |
| rifter | Ferran, yeah you should ignore people like that, they have no real solutions so they just throw insults. not good for the platform | 18:09 |
| sisif | mgolisch, yes. | 18:09 |
| blakkheim | purpzey: try wicd | 18:09 |
| mgolisch | sisif: bydefault it will use the highest validated mode | 18:09 |
| mgolisch | sisif: id start by reading the logfile of xorg | 18:09 |

| mgolisch | sisif: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:10 |
| purpzey | blakkheim: wicd is currently not installed...etc, should I install it? | 18:10 |
| Ferran | rifter Almost as much fun as the robot-people that jump on "anybody" or "anyone", right? ;-) | 18:10 |
| blakkheim | purpzey: it will replace network manager (but allows you to quickly refresh the list) so yes, i would install it | 18:10 |

| dark_soul | whats LTS?..is it something that needs to be purchased? | 18:11 |
| blakkheim | !lts | 18:11 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 18:11 |
| jgcp | number 2: everytime I open a window in u9.10, it maximizes to the point that it hides the titlebar of said window under the top panel. using gnome | 18:11 |
| szili | happy about my ubuntu 9.10 :) | 18:11 |
| dark_soul | is there cost involved with LTS? | 18:11 |
| sisif | mgolisch, I did. There are no errors in it, as far as I can tell. | 18:11 |

| mgolisch | sisif: nopaste the logfile | 18:12 |
| sinurge | at a time | 18:12 |
| dark_soul | coz_: oh...is it a different version altogether? | 18:12 |

| szili | could anyone advice me on a cheep webcam for my ubuntu 9.10 +skype 2.1 | 18:12 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, well it's a different version in that the version number is going to be different...and since it is supported for a longer period of time | 18:13 |
| dark_soul | ah..so its a version behind it seems | 18:13 |
| mgolisch | but dont be tricked, it not covering all packages, i think not even all in main | 18:13 |
| sinurge | zykostick stupid question how do i join that channel | 18:14 |
| sinurge | well got it | 18:14 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, well no that last one was hardy....the next one coming out in april is lucid | 18:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | sinurge, "/join #ubuntu+1" should work | 18:14 |
| sisif | mgolisch, here it is: http://nopaste.info/75ccb4e963.html | 18:14 |
| dark_soul | coz_: i'm at the download page..and it seems i only see Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS | 18:14 |
| blakkheim | dark_soul: lucid isn't out yet | 18:14 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, right because it's 3 year support period is up in april | 18:14 |
| dark_soul | if i needed a server now, i'd have to use 8.0.4 then | 18:15 |
| blakkheim | dark_soul: you dont have to | 18:15 |
| dark_soul | if i wanted a longer support cycle | 18:15 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, no you could use the 9.10 server as well | 18:15 |
| blakkheim | dark_soul: 8.04 is supported until april of 2011 | 18:15 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, however yes there would be a longer support period with LTS | 18:15 |
| jgcp | My internet loads incredibly slow in firefox, or tells me that I cannot connect, even though my roomates browser works fine on XP | 18:15 |
| jgcp | number 2: everytime I open a window in u9.10, it maximizes to the point that it hides the titlebar of said window under the top panel. using gnome | 18:15 |
| Losha | dark_soul: it's a fact of software life that new features destabilize things. Some people prefer older software that is, in principle anyway, more tested and has fewer bugs, in compensation for having fewer features | 18:15 |

| dsfgh | What's the best file system for storing about 270 files of 1.5GB average size on an external hard drive? | 18:15 |
| areee | ubuntu hi arekoye.blogspot.com | 18:15 |
| mgolisch | sisif: it fails to read the edid info from your monitor, or it says its checksum is invalid, thats why the automatic detection doenst work | 18:15 |
| dark_soul | i'm thinking more from a security update perspective | 18:15 |
| blakkheim | !best | dsfgh | 18:16 |
| ubottu | dsfgh: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:16 |
| areee | ubuntu hi www. arekoye.blogspot.com | 18:16 |
| blakkheim | areee: stop that | 18:16 |
| dark_soul | if i install Ubuntu 9.10 (non LTS)..i'd be screwed with that respect (security updates) | 18:16 |
| dsfgh | blakkheim: I explained the factors. | 18:16 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, if you are wanting a server then go with LTS.... it can be upgraded to 10.4 in april if you want | 18:16 |
| dark_soul | but it seems Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, i am screwed also, since they are close to end of support | 18:16 |
| Losha | dsfgh: can't go wrong with ext3.... | 18:16 |
| mgolisch | sisif: id google for your monitor model and nvidia, you can either provide modes manualy, or dump the edid and fix it and have the nvidia driver load it from a file on your harddisk instead of quering the display device | 18:16 |
| purpzee | blakkheim I installed wicd it took out network manager but didnt start | 18:16 |

| dark_soul | whether its available via yum | 18:18 |
| jgcp | when does the next LTS come out? don't send me a url, cause my internet is fucked up | 18:18 |
| sisif | mgolisch, the only adapter i have is from DVI to VGA .. | 18:18 |
| dark_soul | (i'm assuming here that ubuntu uses yum) | 18:18 |
| guntbert | henriquelm: like dig -x 8.8.8.8 ? | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | sisif: is that the monitor where it fails? | 18:18 |
| dark_soul | i've always used redhat | 18:18 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, apt | 18:18 |
| dark_soul | ok | 18:18 |
| mgolisch | this might cause the edid corruption | 18:19 |
| henriquelm | guntbert, will try that | 18:19 |
| sisif | mgolisch, yes. There are two, infact. Dual display | 18:19 |

| ubottu | jgcp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:20 |
| coz_ | dark_soul, the commands on debian based distributions are easily learned and in my opinion easier to deal with when installing...uninstalling etc etc | 18:20 |
| mgolisch | you can provide your displays horsync and vertrefresh values manualy, and tell nvidia to not read the onitors edid , do you have the manual of the displays at hand? if not google or search the vendors page, it should tell | 18:20 |
| mgolisch | @ sisif | 18:20 |
| henriquelm | guntbert, I believe that my DNS server is not working right cause "dig" didn't work for me | 18:20 |
| Losha | dark_soul: you may have no choice except to go to karmic to get perl 5.10. What OS/Version do the makers of Request Tracker 3.8.2 recommend? You'll have the best luck if you run it on the same OS as they developed/tested it on... | 18:20 |
| jgcp | forgive me | 18:21 |
| AlienDK | henriquelm: OpenDNS | 18:21 |
| dark_soul | Losha: not sure about the OS but they do recommend perl 5.10 | 18:21 |
| AlienDK | :))) | 18:21 |
| sisif | mgolisch, that`s exactly what I had in mind. But, where more precisely in xorg.conf do I write the modes ? | 18:21 |
| jgcp | but answer my question | 18:21 |
| dark_soul | Losha: i take it that karmic is the new Ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| guntbert | henriquelm: you can try dig -x 8.8.8.8 @8.8.8.8 to use another server | 18:21 |

| Gnosiz | Pay heed, my friend. | 20:23 |

| DBeets | steven__: what kinda of visual effects? compiz? | 20:23 |
| jrib | imi: I don't know but check the aptitude manual (search operators). I think there may be something for that | 20:24 |
| jrib | !aptitude | imi | 20:24 |
| ubottu | imi: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 20:24 |

| steven__ | Dbeets: i know my card can run it | 20:33 |
| jrib | MJ94: erm, doesn't that program just minimize windows? There's a shortcut for that by default in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts | 20:34 |
| DBeets | steven__: HP... what. I'm looking for a model number. Such as dc7700. There should be a label on the machine that lists the model name. | 20:34 |
| MJ94 | jrib: It hides it, not minimizes. | 20:34 |
| Zetty | So I moved my /var directory to another partition after I installed Ubuntu (not wise, I know) but I sorta fixed it, but now it's dropping me into maintenance mode (root access) AND booting up normally/starting up a tty at the same time. Where would I look to solve this problem? | 20:34 |
| steven__ | ok | 20:34 |
| jrib | MJ94: ok. Well look for a linux alternative because I doubt very much that will work through wine | 20:34 |

| ashwini | thanx | 20:36 |
| steven__ | DBeets: No.9 00319 is that it | 20:36 |
| imi | ok thanks | 20:37 |
| niku | hm - that should be fine, really - did you keep all the permissions the same? | 20:37 |
| jrib | guntbert: probably when I read through zshguide :) | 20:37 |
| MJ94 | jrib :) | 20:37 |
| niku | I've done this in the past by being lazy and creating a symbolic link from /var -> /newpartition/var/ | 20:37 |
| jrib | MJ94: ubottu's page explains, you just grab the .exe and run wine whatever.exe | 20:37 |
| scone | howdy. Just installed ubuntu and can't seem to get a dhcp lease. Can someone help me troubleshoot? | 20:37 |
| niku | didn't give me any grief | 20:37 |
| MJ94 | jrib: ...wha? | 20:37 |
| guntbert | jrib: grand :) | 20:37 |
| MJ94 | !dhcp | 20:38 |
| ubottu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 20:38 |
| Jaco | I have an apt mirror from DVD and am able to use it from Synaptic but not from apt-get. apt-get is saying Ign file: jaunty Release.gpg, for all the package folders. Are these messages fatal or might Synaptic be saying the same but I can't see it? | 20:38 |
| Zetty | niku: yeah, that's what I had at first, but it gave me all sorts of grief | 20:38 |
| MJ94 | !dhcp | scone | 20:38 |
| ubottu | scone: please see above | 20:38 |
| DBeets | steven__: :/ Desktop or laptop? | 20:38 |
| niku | if you move it back to the original parition do the paroblems go away? | 20:38 |
| Zetty | Currently I'm mounting a specific directory using mhddfs (which uses fuse). Would that be an issue? | 20:39 |
| scone | MJ94, yes, i'm aware of what dhcp is, but dhclient gets no leases | 20:39 |
| niku | that would be my guess. | 20:39 |
| MJ94 | Okay. | 20:39 |
| nXhQXv2W | how do I set arch for make? | 20:39 |
| steven__ | DBeets: desktop | 20:39 |
| Zetty | niku, haven't tried that yet... not at that pc right now. hmm, i'll have to keep looking for a solution then | 20:39 |
| niku | Zetty, fuse, if memory serves, runs in userspace; it might be expecting to access var | 20:39 |
| niku | Zetty, so it could be a chicken/egg thing | 20:40 |
| hank_ | I still need help with getting Wi-Fi to work on my Ubuntu | 20:40 |
| niku | Zetty, also, why are you using fuse, is the underlying fs different from a standard unix fs? Eg: sshfs, ntfs, etc? | 20:41 |
| hank_ | It doesn't find the access point | 20:41 |
| natrixnatrix89 | how to add a guest user that wouldnt require a password? | 20:41 |
| Zetty | niku: ahh, okay. it was the only thing i could think of on short notice. Can I mount just a directory through fstab? | 20:42 |
| guntbert | natrixnatrix89: you have one already : in the user switcher select "guest session" | 20:42 |
| scone | so does anybody knwo what to do if "dhclient eth0" fails? | 20:42 |
| natrixnatrix89 | thanks guntbert | 20:42 |
| guntbert | natrixnatrix89: you're welcome :-) | 20:43 |
| steven__ | DBeets: if it help out some i got it install but in the appearance under system i cant do visual Effects | 20:43 |
| guntbert | scone: in what way does it fail? | 20:43 |
| niku | zetty - you can loop mount a directory if I recall correctly | 20:44 |
| scone | guntbert, it prints out "DHCPDISCOVER" a bunch of times but never gets a reply | 20:44 |
| DBeets | steven__: The card is installed or the effects are installed? | 20:44 |
| guntbert | scone: are you sure that the cable is connected? | 20:44 |

| natrixnatrix89 | hank_ what does lspci say? | 20:45 |
| hank_ | natrixnatrix89: PCI | 20:45 |
| guntbert | scone: strange - does manual configuration of the interface work? | 20:46 |
| hank_ | natrixnatrix89: Network controller: Boradcom Corperation BCM43xG 802.11b/g (rev 02) | 20:46 |

| natrixnatrix89 | hank_ and is the driver installed? | 20:49 |
| natrixnatrix89 | maybe try lsmod | 20:49 |
| scone | guntbert, oh wait a sec, if dhclient says "dhcpdiscover on eth1 to 255.255.255.255" does that mean that 255.255.255.255 is the netmask? | 20:49 |
| hank_ | natrixnatrix89: I have no clue. Only if it comes with Ubuntu 9.10 | 20:49 |
| guntbert | scone: no - but do you have two NICs? | 20:50 |
| hank_ | natrixnatrix89: when I do "iwlist scan" I get a "Network is down" error | 20:51 |
| scone | guntbert, yes | 20:51 |
| Losha | scone: no, that's a broadcast address to everyone on that network segment | 20:51 |
| natrixnatrix89 | and iwconfig shows the device? | 20:51 |
| MJ94 | Okay. should i just sudo apt-get install wine? | 20:51 |
| guntbert | scone: and eth1 *is* the one where you expect dhcp to work? | 20:51 |
| scone | well thats the thing i'm not sure which is wich | 20:52 |

| cellofellow | plouffe: might work with Ubuntu Server, though. | 20:54 |
| plouffe | cellofellow, just burn teh server CD and try that? | 20:54 |
| guntbert | scone: look at the output of ip link - to see which nic is connected | 20:54 |
| duffydack | could just blind type and login, install ssh | 20:54 |
| steven__ | DBeets: you still here | 20:55 |
| cellofellow | plouffe: um, no actually. The SSH doesn't kick in till it's actually installed. | 20:55 |
| plouffe | cellofellow, any other distro/CD that might do it? | 20:55 |
| scone | so i assume the one that says "UP" is the one that's plgged in? | 20:55 |
| scone | it's eth0 | 20:55 |

| guntbert | scone: was it a fresh install? | 21:05 |
| nXhQXv2W | mguy: n/s looking at it I have no idea. How would I find out if it does? | 21:05 |
| scone | guntbert, yup | 21:05 |
| scone | this is kubuntu tho | 21:05 |
| mguy | if it's not huge put the makefile on pastebin or link to it online if it's on a ftp | 21:06 |
| raven | Losha, but i just saw that the iptables config is not as empty as on the first system - how to reset it? | 21:06 |
| mguy | Are you getting an error or just trying ot use a different/new assembler? | 21:06 |
| alwaizlern | Hey guys, if I wanted some help with Ubuntu, is this the channel to ask my questions? | 21:06 |
| mguy | yes | 21:06 |
| Losha | raven: iptables -F should flush it. But that means you have *some* kind of firewalling/packet processing going on | 21:06 |
| alwaizlern | ok thanks | 21:06 |
| raven | Losha, seems like that but i cannot locate it | 21:07 |
| cli4life | how do i restart mysql on ubuntu server? LTS | 21:07 |
| raven | Losha, network restart after iptables -F? | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | cli4life: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 21:07 |
| cli4life | thanks | 21:08 |
| guntbert | scone: I think there is a different network manager - but .... - another question: what do you mean by "still can't connect to the net" ? | 21:08 |
| cli4life | >< im used to service XXXX restart | 21:08 |
| cli4life | :/ | 21:08 |
| Losha | raven: shouldn't need to. Try to ssh in from another host, preferably a linux box | 21:08 |
| scone | guntbert, ping www.google.com doesn't work | 21:08 |
| alwaizlern | My university has their servers setup in a way that I can use my computer to connect to theirs through ssh; is it possible for me to setup one of my computers at home in that manner so I can always connect to it through a textbased command terminal? | 21:08 |
| scone | nor does pinging my router (192.168.69.1) | 21:08 |
| DBeets | steven__: type 'lspci | grep VGA' into terminal | 21:08 |
| avi_ | does anyone know where I can check if my gfx card is supported by Plymouth? | 21:08 |
| scone | guntbert, I'm booting the livecd now to see if that gets connection | 21:08 |
| raven | Losha, no still no access | 21:09 |
| guntbert | scone: thats too far away - try to ping one host in your network (you had no gateway set) | 21:09 |
| Losha | raven: can you do it with 'ssh -v' to get some debugging output? | 21:09 |
| nXhQXv2W | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UiyA9yHm | 21:09 |
| HppXer | Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format while trying DualBoot with Fedora :( Why? | 21:09 |
| guntbert | scone: ok , try with live is a good idea :) | 21:09 |
| mguy | alwaizlern: If you set your computer up at home to run openssh-server, yes you can. (also set your routers/firewall appropriately) | 21:09 |
| raven | Losha, on the server or on the client? | 21:09 |
| HppXer | 00:31 2010 | 21:10 |
| HppXer | <HppXer> Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported execut | 21:10 |
| alwaizlern | mguy, ok thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll google more on this! :) | 21:10 |
| mguy | alwaizlern: just do an apt-get openssh-server | 21:10 |
| Losha | raven: ssh -v <server ip> on the client should give you plenty of debug output | 21:10 |

| ectropy | ipatrol: wireless interference? | 21:11 |
| ipatrol_ | I don't have a choice | 21:11 |
| darolu | ectropy: create a bash script and copy/move it to the /usr/bin directory, a symbolic link may work too | 21:11 |
| ectropy | ipatrol: microwaves, 2.4 gHz phones... | 21:11 |
| ipatrol_ | The router is WEP and is only WEP | 21:11 |
| Losha | raven: that just means nothing's getting through... | 21:11 |
| raven | Losha, ssh only gives "connecting on port 22" and then holds for some time" | 21:11 |
| scone | guntbert, wtf... livecd works great | 21:11 |
| ipatrol_ | ectropy: I've tried for three months | 21:12 |

| nastas_ | ipatrol_: silly but do you type the correct key? | 21:14 |
| ectropy | ipatrol_: tried resetting your router to its default config and then setting it back up? | 21:15 |
| hiexpo | steven__, it's an nividia card 8400 | 21:15 |
| guntbert | scone: my best advice at the moment: try do completely reconfigure your interface for automatic - but it would be a good idea to take notes of the working config | 21:15 |
| mguy | nXhQXv2W: Did you download the b43-tools fiel | 21:15 |
| ipatrol_ | ectropy: I can't | 21:15 |
| nXhQXv2W | mguy: yes and installed them. | 21:15 |
| ipatrol_ | it's password was lost and the default won't work | 21:16 |
| nastas_ | ipatrol_: weird | 21:16 |
| guntbert | scone: I don't know how to reconfigure the interfaces with the network too in kubuntu - so maybe ask in #kubuntu | 21:16 |

| cryptoclown | my net worked fine on ubuntu when it was in the virtualbox | 21:21 |
| ipatrol_ | All devices connected to it are proprietary | 21:22 |
| hiexpo | ipatrol_, look on your network manager applet and right click on it hit edit connections see if your router is in wireless under auto connect | 21:22 |
| nastas_ | ipatrol_: can you tell me the model of your router? | 21:22 |
| Viking667 | Now, how the hell do I _disable_ pulseaudio for a specified user? | 21:22 |

| B3rz3rk3r | Im using WICD network manager and can connect to my windows box just fine, but cannot get internet from it over the same interface. Why? | 21:22 |

| ipatrol_ | echo "paitence is a virtue" | Lenin_Cat | 21:36 |
| GeekSquid | usuario_: good chance you have a bad disk, or a bad iso image | 21:37 |
| hiexpo | ipatrol_, and add your router to the list you may have to connect once to get its name first and i think it will ask you if you want to save it | 21:37 |
| GeekSquid | !grub | Lenin_Cat | 21:37 |
| ubottu | Lenin_Cat: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 21:37 |

| Lenin_Cat | is that possible | 21:41 |
| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: same problem | 21:41 |
| GeekSquid | Lenin_Cat: yes, use live cd to reinstall grub - following instructions of course | 21:41 |
| hiexpo | ipatrol_, ok here is an eiser way to do it log it on to the net connect than it will be in the connections hit edit you will see your router or what ever it is your connected to click on the one thats yours and check all the fields to save it | 21:41 |

| hiexpo | it will not connect at all | 21:50 |
| Flannel | Lenin_Cat: Yes. Looks like it's a bug? comment 8 here mentions a workaround (looks like using a Lucid CD may work too): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/498533 | 21:51 |

I just booted the live cd and clicked "try ubuntu without installing" only to get a "no signal" message on my monitor.

| rappie_ | it can if i copy/paste it to my desktop :) | 22:03 |

| ipatrol_ | No | 22:06 |
| hiexpo | its the dhcp | 22:06 |
| rappie_ | so no known problems with opening files through samba? is the standard going to places -> network and then finding it reliable? should i try mounting it manually? | 22:06 |
| ipatrol_ | I have it set to DHCP | 22:06 |

| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: but I don't even have a local connection | 22:07 |
| hiexpo | you cant connect with it on lan either | 22:07 |
| trism | avi_: you could try hitting f6 on the menu screen and selecting nomodeset, that fixed it for me, although lucid discussion should really be in #ubuntu+1 | 22:07 |

| mawst | niSeems my flash player no longer works in ff | 22:17 |

| seanbrystone | what folder does the flash plugin for firefox go in? | 22:19 |
| ipatrol_ | 22:20 | |
| Rawxor | seanbrystone: use dpkg to figure that out | 22:20 |
| themarmot | Rawxor, I understand that, however I'm unsure of what command will give write access to those files | 22:20 |
| Rawxor | seanbrystone: there are arguments that you can pass to it to list package contents (and where they go) - you'll have to RTFM a bit though | 22:20 |

| Rawxor | themarmot: i can't tell you what permissions are best for you - maybe take a look at "man chmod" | 22:22 |

| ubottu | Rawxor, please see my private message | 22:23 |
| Rawxor | that's cool | 22:23 |
| Rawxor | anyway, has anyone dealt with suspend/resume and hibernation issues? | 22:23 |
| Rawxor | i suspect it has something to do with the nvidia binary drivers (my googling suggests that anyway) | 22:23 |
| mbmccormick | anyone know how to install flash player via command line? | 22:24 |
| mbmccormick | not working in firefox | 22:24 |
| Sami | hello all | 22:24 |
| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: bingo | 22:24 |
| ipatrol_ | It works over ethernet | 22:24 |
| Rawxor | is there another ubuntu support channel? | 22:24 |
| davidcramer | how do i get the version of ubuntu via term? | 22:24 |
| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: brb | 22:24 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 22:25 |
| dabaR | davidcramer: cat /etc/issue is one way | 22:25 |
| Sami | may I ask, that i have 3 computers (in LAN) and there are ubuntu 9.10 and I want to download the updates only ONCE, not 3x, how can I set it up ? | 22:25 |
| dabaR | davidcramer: lsb_release -a is another | 22:25 |
| dabaR | !mirror | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 22:25 |
| mbmccormick | dabaR: I keep getting "Couldn't find package..." is there a way to refresh my repos? | 22:25 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: did you enable multiverse? | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | Sami: apt-proxy ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 22:26 |
| mbmccormick | dabaR: nope, how do I do that? (ps, thanks for the help!) | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | Sami: simply copy the deb files from one machine to the other two ? | 22:26 |
| dyek | I vaguely remember that there is a IRC bot command that will show the package name given a file name. Anybody knows the command? I'm trying to figure out if pv-grub is available in any package available in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic repository. | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | !find pv-grub | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Package/file pv-grub does not exist in karmic | 22:27 |
| erUSUL | dyek: ^ | 22:27 |
| dyek | erUSUL: Thanks! | 22:27 |
| dyek | !find pvgrub | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Package/file pvgrub does not exist in karmic | 22:27 |
| Helsinkiii | guys. i tried installing Chrome on my pc, it didn't work, so i rebooted and now nothing on my machine works at all. i get "could not launch" "failed to execute child process" "input output error" for EVERYTHING i try doing on the computer. i can't even open a terminal | 22:27 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: in command line, or in a GUI? | 22:27 |
| mbmccormick | dabaR: command line preferrably | 22:27 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: which editor do you use in cli? | 22:28 |
| blakkheim | mbmccormick: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | Helsinkiii: what did you do to install chrome? | 22:28 |
| mbmccormick | vi | 22:28 |
| mbmccormick | or gedit | 22:28 |
| mbmccormick | or nano | 22:28 |
| Helsinkiii | erUSUL: gdebi? | 22:28 |
| dabaR | Helsinkiii: do you remember which commands you ran? | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | Helsinkiii: only that? how can that cause all you decribe after a reboot? | 22:28 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR: i downloaded the .deb from the site | 22:28 |
| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: OK, now what? | 22:29 |
| Helsinkiii | erUSUL: it's all i did, i swear | 22:29 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: edit /etc/apt/sources.list as blakkheim suggested. You should see an entry for multiverse, or a couple. uncomment them, then run sudo aptitude update, then the package should be available. | 22:29 |
| hiexpo | i thought u said it was working | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | Helsinkiii: remember if gdebi removed packages when installing chrome? | 22:29 |
| dabaR | Helsinkiii: and then you double clicked it? | 22:29 |
| Helsinkiii | erUSUL: i tried installing chromium after via command line but i accicdentlly installed the game instead lol | 22:29 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR:yes | 22:29 |
| ipatrol_ | hiexpo: I have wired, but not wireless | 22:29 |
| hiexpo | oh ok | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | Helsinkiii: :) | 22:30 |
| mbmccormick | excellent! thank you everyone! :) | 22:30 |
| Cala | I'm back, trying to install Ubuntu from a CD this time. Everything seemed to be going fine until I got to the installation, where it seems to hang on copying files (56% of the installation done). Does copying the files take a long time or did the install get messed up somehow? | 22:30 |
| ipatrol_ | I'm on empathy, so you can ask for pastes | 22:30 |
| dabaR | mbmccormick: youre welcome. | 22:30 |

| erUSUL | Helsinkiii: then maybe there was a hard disk error ? | 22:31 |
| hiexpo | ok | 22:31 |
| Sami | erUSUL can i ask an other thing ? if i want to traffic the prints, and it must confirm on the admin computer, how can I do it ? (or pm?) | 22:31 |
| Cala | Dbeets: Copying files. It's been at the same spot for about 20 minutes now. | 22:31 |
| dabaR | Helsinkiii: well, how comfortable are you with the command line? | 22:32 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR: not too shabby | 22:32 |

| Cala | Dbeets: mmk, I'll let it keep going. Any idea how much longer I should give it before I try something else? | 22:36 |
| ipatrol_ | dabaR: the adapter tries, but it fails at the last second | 22:36 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR:nothing happens | 22:36 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR: it keeps saying Login: | 22:36 |

| dabaR | Helsinkiii: username first, then it will ask for password | 22:37 |
| DBeets | Cala: if it doesn't change in another 15-20 min I'd start to think about starting over. | 22:37 |
| Helsinkiii | dabaR:doesn't work | 22:37 |
| dabaR | scott_ino2: and there is not keep-alive option? | 22:38 |
| smerz | thats a problem :| | 22:38 |

| Losha | Helsinkiii: "i'm a compsci student, not a technician" -- that's the funniest thing I've read in years, thanks! | 22:38 |
| dabaR | ipatrol_: do you have the connection encrypted, or no key? | 22:38 |
| Helsinkiii | Losha: it's true i suck at this stuff | 22:38 |
| priyank_ | hi | 22:38 |
| ipatrol_ | dabaR: encrypted with key, no password | 22:39 |

| priyank_ | i have ubuntu 8.04lts | 22:39 |
| pedrohoffmann | is there any audio player that run with smb folder ??? | 22:39 |
| dabaR | ipatrol_: try without encryption, I think that is the only problem. | 22:39 |
| blakkheim | pedrohoffmann: mpd | 22:39 |
| alzamabar | Hi, what are the downsides of disabling apparmor? | 22:39 |
| priyank_ | and i have installed it | 22:39 |
| DBeets | Cala: That would be easier than trying to fix a half-installed system. | 22:39 |
| dabaR | Helsinkiii: you sure you can not log in? Give it another try. | 22:39 |
| pedrohoffmann | blakkheim, good player ? | 22:39 |
| priyank_ | but i have a problem | 22:39 |
| ipatrol_ | dabaR: the network is encrypted | 22:39 |
| scott_ino2 | dabaR, what do you mean by encryption? I didnt say anything about encryption | 22:39 |
| dabaR | Helsinkiii: do you happen to have a desktop CD kicking around? | 22:39 |
| blakkheim | pedrohoffmann: my favorite | 22:39 |

| ipatrol_ | dabaR: it's turned off every night | 22:46 |
| xiong | Terminal allows me to change the title in a tab to an arbitrary string. The default is the same as the bash prompt. Once edited, how do I return the tab title to the default? | 22:46 |

| mazda01 | Losha, i know that also. i have been having a lot of issues with wasting discs ever since I am trying out lucid. i just recently extracted the iso that devede created before burning it to disc and it doesn't have an AUDIO_TS folder, only a VIDEO_TS folder. so I guess I just found a bug. | 22:47 |

| dabaR | Sami: so for example, the file manager, browser, movie player, calculator, etc. are different. | 22:48 |
| Curly_Q | Would I be stupid and allow auto-updates with Ubuntu server? | 22:48 |

| ipatrol_ | dabaR: ok | 22:49 |
| dabaR | or ask for a second opinion :) | 22:49 |
| mazda01 | anyone suggest another program like devede to make dvd's from multiple avi files? | 22:49 |
| MegaHerz | dabaR: its called network-manager, and when I do apt-cache show I see its of 0.8 version - network-manager_0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1_i386.deb | 22:49 |
| priyank_ | sami: you can try but it will be diff. for users | 22:49 |
| MegaHerz | dabaR: which I don't want | 22:49 |
| priyank_ | actually i have installed ubuntu 8.04 lts through live dvd on to my portable 250gb hdd but while installing grub boot loader on hdd installed it on partion dev/sda2 instead of mbr now when i rebooted the system grub bootloader is unable to boot and it is going on grub bootloader rescue mode acn any one fix this error for me? | 22:50 |
| Losha | mazda01: well the AUDIO_TS folder, though part of the spec, was never used, so lots of players don't notice if it's missing, but it's sloppy programming. Try generating the folders and using mkisofs to generate the iso or growisofs to burn them to dvd | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | mazda01: qdvdauthor ? | 22:50 |
| dabaR | MegaHerz: can you remove --purge? | 22:50 |
| Sami | priyank_ yeah, i have seen only gnome before :P | 22:50 |

| priyank_ | actually i have installed ubuntu 8.04 lts through live dvd on to my portable 250gb hdd but while installing grub boot loader on hdd installed it on partion dev/sda2 instead of mbr now when i rebooted the system grub bootloader is unable to boot and it is going on grub bootloader rescue mode acn any one fix this error for me? | 22:50 |

| Typos_King | priyank_ and you need it on the 1st hd mbr? | 22:51 |
| mazda01 | Losha, thanks, will add AUDIO_TS folder and make new iso and burn. I like tovid command line tools like makedvd -burn, it can burn a folder containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder. I use tovid sometimes. i'll look into qdvdauthor but it uses QT and would require a lot of dependencies unlike GTK apps right? | 22:51 |

| skata | Im running 9.10... | 23:01 |
| alzamabar | Just for everyone's benefit...It seems there is a bug with MySQL 5.1+ and Ubuntu 9.10 and apparmor. This affects user who want to change the data folder. The only way to do it (which I've found so far) is to disable the MysQL profile in apparmor | 23:01 |
| abe3k | skata: what do you mean by noises ? | 23:01 |
| skata | I don't really know how to explain :S | 23:01 |
| derekboy | Hey I have a quick question, and I'm a Linux noobie--under the System Monitor, there are a lot of Processes open, and the majority of them are Sleeping, and using resources. Are all of them mandatory or can I close out of some of them? I don't know what a lot of these do so I don't want to Stop them. | 23:01 |
| nimrod10 | alzamabar, MySQL and apparmor: this combination is just an abomination !!! | 23:01 |
| alzamabar | nimrod10: Couldn't agree more | 23:02 |
| Typos_King | markd..... are you ...using... kubuntu? or xubuntu? | 23:02 |
| abe3k | skata: it could be a cable connection problem, or you have the volume turned up too high | 23:02 |

| gdiz | hello everyone. I have a two part question for you all. Where I work has a pretty crazy web filter (i.e. I can't get on wikipedia). I believe that there is a proxy server as a part of the local network to get on to the internet. Now, my question would be if I set my ubuntu box located at home to act as a proxy server for me, do you think that if I logged on at work and used my ubuntu box at home as a proxy server, that I could get around th | 23:02 |
| gdiz | filter. Also, is there a way to use multiple proxy servers (i.e. both my work proxy server and then my home proxy server)? | 23:02 |
| markd | @Typos_King regular ubuntu | 23:02 |
| gdiz | if this doesn't make any sense please let me know | 23:02 |
| derekboy | @Trinity: What? o.O | 23:03 |
| trinity | 9.10 uses like 1gb ram and sometimes 50% of my q9000 | 23:03 |
| abe3k | skata: sorry I don't get what you mean | 23:03 |
| nimrod10 | alzamabar, you won't imagine how many times I had to scream whilst finding this combination again and again | 23:03 |
| alzamabar | nimrod10: However in the end I decided to keep apparmor and the default data dir for mysql. Apparmor has got some benefits because the profiles are loaded into the kernel at bootup | 23:03 |
| trinity | open firefox and few other aplications and just open it and watch whaere will go your cpu and ram | 23:03 |
| nimrod10 | alzamabar, I wish the ubuntu devs would not put mysql in the apparmor profile | 23:03 |
| skata | my vocabulary when it comes to sounds is not the best... | 23:03 |
| derekboy | @Trinity: No I mean even with no applications open, there are still 30+ Processes running. On Windows this is not common, and I just want to know if the Operating System are actually using these or if they're pointless ATM. | 23:04 |

| abe3k | duncanidaho1: 64 bit ? | 23:05 |
| duncanidaho1 | yep | 23:05 |
| Losha | gdiz: what you want is possible. You'd need a proxy server running on your home machine, an ssh connection between work and home to send the proxy requests over, and a proxy file for the web browser to tell it which urls get sent to which proxy. | 23:05 |
| erUSUL | duncanidaho1: is known issue. see launchpad | 23:05 |
| alzamabar | nimrod10: apparmor makes sense in production environments (think of a bank) where there must be a sandbox avoiding, say a hacked version of mysql, from interfering with the OS memory address space. But for home users (like myself) it really doesn't make sense | 23:05 |
| Typos_King | markd: .... ... can't say then.. I know knetworkmanager has issues on some stuff, but dunno any on nm-applet from ubuntu | 23:05 |

| === OneFileEt4Types is now known as OneFilleEt4Types | ||
| alzamabar | nimrod10: And the idea of having to "confine" all the folders that a program can possibly touch into a configuration file it seems a bit too much bureaucracy if you ask me | 23:06 |

| jacKk | fr | 23:07 |
| cfedde | derekboy: the getty processes are for your consoles. | 23:07 |
| nimrod10 | alzamabar, I know apparmor's role and I totally agree with it. It is just that it is a pain in combination with MySQL. And the worst thing is there is no documentation when it comes to this combination | 23:07 |
| gdiz | Losha, do you know how I would set up that proxy file up for firefox, chrome, or Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer would be the best option at work. | 23:07 |
| donvito | why i cant get open ssh server with aptget | 23:07 |
| Typos_King | markd: more like either lack of wep/wep2 but I hardly doubt, wep/wep2 installs automatically out of the box.... so I'd thinik might be something with your network password or your network manager | 23:07 |

| Losha | B3rz3rk3r: it's like doing surgery through a keyhole... | 23:26 |
| Curly_Q | I installed Ubunto i386 server. It did not ask for a password but I cannot log in as su- or root. Why? | 23:26 |

| LuizAquino | Curly_Q: *then | 23:27 |
| VaffanculoNostra | I am having a problem with a failed ext3 file system check on my Debian Sarge box. Any ideas? | 23:27 |
| === jkeller is now known as Kishara_99 | ||
| ardchoille | LuizAquino: Please don't do that, setting a root password is unsupport, can cause problems and it unnecessary. recommdn sudi -i instead | 23:27 |
| LuizAquino | ardchoille: Ok. | 23:27 |
| Losha | derekboy: good. Now run 'egrep -i enigma /etc/init.d/*' and see if you get any hits... | 23:27 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | Curly_Q | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Curly_Q: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 23:27 |
| Typos_King | VaffanculoNostra: yes, I have the idea your ext3 system failed, I hope that makes you feel better | 23:28 |
| Curly_Q | It is a new install though. Is this how it works? | 23:28 |
| Curly_Q | I would have assumed that it would ask for a password on installation. | 23:28 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: yes, the root account is locked on anew install for security reasons, learn to use sudo | 23:28 |
| derekboy | @Losha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384743/ | 23:28 |
| Curly_Q | My ignorance then. | 23:29 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: you can't brute force a locked root account :) | 23:29 |
| Curly_Q | When I used Red Hat 9 it would ask for a definitive password for su- | 23:29 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: (great nick btw) It's a bad sign. Can you run the fsck manually? | 23:29 |
| Typos_King | Curly_Q: there's no 'su' in debian-based *nix, or is disabled for that matter, though you can always do -> sudo su -; if you wish..... but sudo should be working and is most recommended to use | 23:29 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: instead of su, use sudo -i | 23:30 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: It is root (/) | 23:30 |
| Losha | derekboy: ok, that means it's not started from /etc/init.d. You're going to have to search for it. How large is the disk? | 23:30 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: boot a live cd, then run fsck from it on the root partition, ok? | 23:31 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Default Wubi install is ~25GB | 23:31 |
| abe3k | Losha: you can start and stop services from sudo service name start/stop now :> | 23:31 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: Okay. | 23:31 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: Or I could backup and keep it going and see if it stops working | 23:31 |
| zinox | there is anyway to use pendrive to install ubuntu instead of dvd? | 23:31 |
| abe3k | zinox: yes | 23:32 |
| Curly_Q | I don't understand the *then part. Is that a wildcard? | 23:32 |
| zinox | abe3k how ? | 23:32 |
| Typos_King | Curly_Q: sudo works fine as well, and yes, I've used su just as well, you can always open a root terminal session btw, if you need any, but sudo suffices most times | 23:32 |
| derekboy | @Losha: I opened the File Manager and searched it in there. It shows some files but not the file that's under System Monitor | 23:32 |
| CyberGabber | zinox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 23:33 |
| abe3k | zinox: install the application usb-creator-gtk if you don't have it, or goto system/admin/USB startup disk creator | 23:33 |
| Curly_Q | So in the command prompt: sudo <password> | 23:33 |
| abe3k | zinox: you'll have to have the cd image of the version you want to install | 23:33 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: up to you. As long as you understand that the disk may fail unexpectedly at any moment. A permanent fsck failure is really just a symptom. It means that the disk has failed. | 23:33 |
| zinox | ok | 23:33 |
| zinox | thank you | 23:33 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: sudo appname, then it will ask for your password | 23:33 |
| wirechief | Typos_King i got my wifi adapter working, I had to use a 32bit 9.10 the 64bit didnt work. | 23:34 |
| Curly_Q | I don't figure this out. Why is it asking for a passphrase or password when on installation It did not ask me then? Please explain? | 23:34 |
| Losha | derekboy: try running 'find / -xdev | egrep -i enigma' and see if locates the binary | 23:34 |
| Typos_King | wirechief: ..... I see | 23:35 |
| Curly_Q | It would seem that that would be a hackers dream to just use sudo and any password. | 23:35 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: on instalation, you provide a user passwrod. after instalation, you use sudo, the password needed for sudo is your login password. root does not have a password. | 23:35 |
| joineric | built a pc today, MSI 790FX-GD70 mobo, but i cannot get connected to the internet, i have flashing lights and dhcp enabled | 23:35 |
| Curly_Q | The installation never asked for a password, just a rood Name. That's it. | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: the first account created can use sudo, allother account cannot even use sudo unless the admin allows that | 23:36 |
| LuizAquino | Curly_Q: See this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:36 |
| Curly_Q | rood = root name. | 23:36 |
| lenswipe | hey guys | 23:36 |
| lenswipe | im looking for a mailserver that requires minimal configuration | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:36 |
| lenswipe | specifically an SMTP server | 23:36 |
| lenswipe | just for sending out community newsletters etc | 23:37 |
| lenswipe | can someone point me in the right direction for one of those? | 23:37 |
| Typos_King | Curly_Q: sudo is an 'execution by proxy', so is meant to be more secure than a 'su' session, though I haven't stumbled upon the technical differences heeh | 23:37 |
| Curly_Q | The latest download i386 Ubuntu server. | 23:37 |
| LuizAquino | Curly_Q: For more information, see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:37 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop the wifi issue I was having with the rtl8192su got resolved by using 32 bit ubuntu 9.10 and ndiswrapper 1.54 | 23:38 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Found it. | 23:38 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: it should have asked for a username and password, those are your user credentials, there is no root password in ubuntu, the root account is locked by default | 23:38 |
| Losha | joineric: did the kernel even see the nic? dmesg | egrep -i eth | 23:38 |
| Losha | derekboy: where? | 23:38 |
| MilitantPotato | how do you see the /dev/ path to your CD ROM? | 23:38 |
| Curly_Q | It is possible that I just missed an install querry for a password. Maybe the keyboard enter hit twice. But in that case it should have been a blank for a password in which I tried that too. | 23:38 |
| derekboy | @Losha: /var/lib/boinc-client/........ | 23:38 |
| Losha | MilitantPotato: first one is almost always /dev/sr0 etc... | 23:38 |
| derekboy | @Losha: There's more subfolders | 23:38 |
| swerf | i've lost all icons (right clicking is even disabled) when i did a command with the gconftool-2, and now logging out/rebooting doesn't even help.....all contents are still in the /home/userdir/Desktop.....i need help!! | 23:39 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: if this is a fresh nstall, I'd do it again | 23:39 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Can I just delete the 'boinc-client' folder since it's not installed anymore? | 23:39 |
| joineric | Losha: i dont believe so, in setup i had to skip network configuration | 23:39 |
| Losha | derekboy: someone said the client was probably still around. Try apt-get remove boinc-client first | 23:39 |
| Curly_Q | Ardchoille, yeah! Another Two Hours again. :) <----------------------< I will try again and see what the story is. | 23:40 |
| Losha | joineric: configuration is not the same as recognition. What does 'dmesg | egrep -i eth' say | 23:40 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, my driver doesn't work on a 64 bit sytem i guess , and it's the rt2870 , so I was wrong to assume the application would work :( | 23:40 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Wow thanks, it is. I uninstalled it through Software Center yesterday though.... | 23:40 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: two hours? A fresh install takes me 15 minutes tops | 23:40 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: right, well now we know. | 23:40 |
| Curly_Q | Not on this bad boy system. For some reason. | 23:40 |
| lelamal | Losha, yes when the client runs it does so in the background, and the projects you've attached to are run by it | 23:40 |
| Losha | derekboy: lazy programmers don't clean up after themselves... | 23:41 |
| lelamal | uninstalling the gui won't stop it | 23:41 |
| Curly_Q | All of that DMI stuff and more with SCSI interfaces. | 23:41 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Thanks for the advice. Removing it through apt actually killed the process too | 23:41 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, I've basically given up on wifi for my linux desktop pc. | 23:41 |
| Losha | derekboy: ah, the small victories.... | 23:42 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop I had tried using a linksys adapter with the rt2870 and gave up on it and got the belkin | 23:42 |
| === zinox is now known as killown | ||
| Curly_Q | Ardchoille, just curious, have you been able to use older SCSI scanners and devices with Ubuntu server? | 23:43 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, mine is a belkin , it uses the rt2870 driver :) | 23:43 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: yes wifi adapters are a hit or miss. I first got the Belkin working on Kanotix, you might give it a shot, kano made did some special coding to make wifi work | 23:43 |
| joineric | Losha: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded | 23:43 |
| derekboy | @Losha: Okay, I would greatly appreciate one more issue I need help with. Under System Monitor, there are like a bazillion Sleeping processes open that are not visible (as in, they're running in the background). Are all of these necessary, or can I stop them from starting at system startup? | 23:43 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: ok, well then you must have a different model than i . | 23:43 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: haven't tried it | 23:44 |
| Losha | joineric: interesting. I have the exact same driver only version 2.2LK. No more eth0 lines in your dmesg? | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | well wirechief , it's no biggie because I use eth0 on the desktop with /etc/network/interfaces and stsatic IP behind the router | 23:45 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: I have a N wireless USB network adapter model 8053 ver 6 | 23:45 |
| Losha | derekboy: usually you can get rid of some of them. There are web pages on it I seem to recall. And a program called 'bum' (boot up manager). Do a bit of googling... | 23:45 |
| Curly_Q | The major problem is that Windows drops off support of older hardware where Linux seems to pick up on, but, having seen lots of complaints, Linux is not supporting older versions or hardware. There are a lot of computers than can be worthwhile using with Linux if drivers were supported, but it seems that it is just a monetary issue these days. | 23:45 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: yeah, i can use wired too but wanted wireless so i didnt have a cable to jump over all the time | 23:45 |
| seanbrystone | erUSUL, i got the sound working, somehow it got switched to Digital stereo HDMI :) | 23:46 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: If ubuntu isn't working for you, you can always try another distro, all distros aren't the same. I came here from Fedora Linux because they dropped a driver I needed but it works fine in Ubuntu | 23:46 |
| joineric | Losha: eth0: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xffffc90000674000, 40:61:86:7f:83:39, XI D 281000c0 IRQ 31 | 23:47 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: Kano said my wifi adapter would work with the driver and i didnt need ndiswrapper but i have yet to make that work. | 23:47 |
| joineric | Losha: thats for eth0 and eth1, it has dual ethernet | 23:47 |
| abe3k | how do I know which application is getting my CPU too busy ? | 23:47 |
| Curly_Q | Nice work Ardchoille, you are a man after my own heart. I don't give up on any situation. There is always a workaround with most computers. | 23:47 |
| ardchoille | abe3k: open a terminal and run top | 23:48 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: i might try it with his liveusb or the liveusb i have for 9.10 again. (dont want to mess the install up) | 23:48 |
| alienkid10 | I have a LiveCD I want ti use and save persistently t a flash drive that has a 1GB file called "casper-rw" at the root of the drive formatted to ext2 boot up F6 esc add persistent hit enter boots up fine change desktop background reboot f6 esc persistent enter boots fine background isn't changed the flashdrive DOES appear on the desktop. A Lost+found folder gets saved to the casper-rw file. I am using 9.10 and have looked a | 23:48 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, it's not a problem in my den since it's been hard wired with cat5 thru a cable routing setup thru out the house | 23:48 |
| Losha | joineric: that's good. Does 'ifconfig -a' show eth0 and eth1 ? | 23:48 |
| abe3k | ardchoille: I'm installing htop right now | 23:48 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: have a look at http://www.distrowatch.com | 23:48 |
| ardchoille | abe3k: that's even beter | 23:48 |
| joineric | Losha: yes | 23:48 |
| VaffanculoNostra | It should be distriwatch. It is distribution. | 23:48 |
| Curly_Q | Ardchoile, good web site. | 23:48 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: cool. well I plan on testing this again with 9.04 and also 10.04, it would be nice to have it working on all three releases. | 23:49 |
| Curly_Q | One of the nice things about Linux is the: "Microkernels" | 23:49 |
| abe3k | ardchoille: ok so I find out that the gnome-keyring-daemon is taking 89% of the CPU, is it safe to kill it ? | 23:49 |
| derekboy | Does Ubuntu have support for Intel Graphic chips? I ask because I installed the drivers for my Intel 84845G chipset and I had lots of freezes. I reinstalled Ubuntu and I still have some freezes (using the generic drivers Ubuntu automatically installs). | 23:49 |
| ardchoille | abe3k: Not sure about that one | 23:49 |
| Losha | joineric: you should be ready to assign ip addresses. Did you say you were using dhcp for addressing? | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, I had wicd wifi working with belkin just fine on 9.04. It crapped oput on karmic | 23:50 |
| Typos_King | Curly_Q: depends, not sure is solely monetary, older code for older hardware is meant so, you can provide only so much legacy when it comes to code, and that applies to any programming project, OS or otherwise, I think the dropping of 'support' on some older legacy material is fully understandable, not sure how a fuel-injection system will provide me a better 1960 chevy | 23:50 |
| joineric | Losha: yes | 23:50 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: i see. was that 64bit on 9.04 then ? | 23:50 |
| joineric | Losha: i have assigned manual addresses for both and i still dont get a connection | 23:50 |
| abe3k | ardchoille: I killed it! | 23:50 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, yes | 23:51 |
| Curly_Q | Typos King good point and well taken. | 23:51 |
| abe3k | j #ubuntu+1 | 23:51 |
| Losha | joineric: manual is better for testing. Did you kill dhcpclient, else I think it might try and overwrite the manual addresses | 23:51 |
| derekboy | Does anyone know why I have some freezes (my screen freezes but my mouse moves. After clicking something the mouse also freezes). I'm using the Ubuntu default drivers for everything | 23:52 |
| jlebar | I'm confused. It looks like |which tclsh| returns a different file than is being run when I enter |tclsh|. See http://pastebin.org/98161 What's going on here? | 23:52 |
| A95H | how use a PPPoE over wireless conection? | 23:52 |
| joineric | Losha: i havent, thats a good idea | 23:52 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: geeze maybe i should of filed a bug for 9.10 on the 64bit. I dont have it currently installed though. | 23:52 |
| alienkid10 | anyone? | 23:53 |
| Curly_Q | Once my Ubuntu server is installed, it asked me to install a DNS server on install. Does Ubuntu DNS server work as any regular Daemon and feed the instructions to the main HTML or any other server? | 23:53 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, I upped to Lucid on the dsktop , so there isn't much point me worrying about wifi ..it just bugs me that it's not being used | 23:54 |
| BuBU | Hi | 23:55 |
| BuBU | any casper guru arround ? | 23:55 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: Well, it works like any other daemon if you configure it properly. O'reilly have an entire book on it. Not as bad as sendmail, but no picnic either. Unless you're in the dns service business, I'd do without it and use your ISPs dns servers | 23:55 |
| ikus060 | Hi, I have trouble with the application menu. The wine item doesn't appear. Is there any body knowing how it's working ?? | 23:55 |
| _2 | umm with the 9.10 version when i try to ssh i get a stupid pop-up window.... anyone know how to stop this insane action? | 23:56 |
| derekboy | When minimizing Empathy, is there a way to minimize it to the Panel? | 23:56 |
| Pindaman | X? | 23:56 |
| Losha | joineric: so what's your eth0 ip address? | 23:56 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: yeah, i agree, I wanted experience in doing it and thats about extent of my need, plus relate my findings to those trying to make their adapters work. | 23:56 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, doesnt it minimize into the panel when using [X] | 23:56 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: Not that I can see. It looks like it just closes | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | alienkid10: not sure I got what you meant on 9.1, something about a live-cd bootup working with a usb stick | 23:57 |
| joineric | Losha: still no good, i set it to 192.168.1.123 | 23:57 |
| JeffX | Need some help, I run lucid, internet is setup and I want to set a DHCP and internet server with the other network card, I<ve tried many things without success, any suggestion? | 23:57 |
| BuBU | when booting a custom livecd I get invalid user blabla.. | 23:57 |
| Curly_Q | Losha, the DNS server would only be use and configured as a Port Forwarding server on a Dynamic IP. | 23:57 |
| BuBU | into casper | 23:57 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: i need to get the driver working for that adapter, that would be better than ndiswrapper i would think. | 23:57 |
| BuBU | initramfs | 23:57 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, its under the envelope | 23:57 |
| alienkid10 | Typos_King: I am booting from a LiveCD and trying to have it persistent | 23:57 |
| Losha | joineric: and is there another host on that network you can try to ping? (and does it work?) | 23:57 |
| alienkid10 | the casper-rw is a file on the root of a USB stick | 23:58 |
| Typos_King | alienkid10: have it persistent? what does that mean? pardon my ignorance | 23:58 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: Oh thanks, I'm a noob >.<. Pidgin had a seperate icon in the Panel. Thanks. | 23:58 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: im not sure just doing modprobe -i driver-name is all i have to do. | 23:58 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, np :) | 23:58 |
| alienkid10 | Typos_King: have it so it saves changes to the USB stick | 23:58 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: sorry, you've lost me.... | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, itried several avenues to make the US adapter work, including /etc/network/interfaces with wlan0 and wpa_supplicant besides mn and wicd , and my experiments turned out totally fruitless. | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | USB | 23:58 |
| _2 | pop-up window says "enter password to unlock the private key" anyone know how to stop the pop-up from happening. the terminal should allow for ssh key password entry, why is it locked and a pop-up window opening ? | 23:58 |
| derekboy | Does anyone know why sometimes everything but the mouse cursor freezes, but when clicking something even the mouse freezes? It happens about once a day. | 23:59 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: did you try to use the driver for the rt2870 ? | 23:59 |
| docmax | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.36.03-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2_amd64.deb: Unterprozess neues pre-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück ?? | 23:59 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: did you try to use the driver for the rt2870 ? and not use ndiswrapper | 23:59 |
| Losha | _2: these days, if you don't have a GUI, you're not cool. Check the man page, there must be a switch or something... | 23:59 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, does that occur under heavy harddisk load? | 23:59 |
