| Dravekx | how do I move a file? MV? | 00:47 |
| ChrisMorgan | A vague suspicion has occurred to me... the one I unticked would be to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --app="http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox"; maybe Chrome used single quotes for the attribute value but alacarte in unticking it broke that and the XML well-formedness. | 00:48 |

| abysse | ikonia : is it correct even if it is set in automatic in graphic mode? | 00:55 |

| clickme | i was isntalling the ubuntu restricted package but i had to go so i closed the laptop thinking it would pick up when i returned, but it didn't it was just stuck and when i tried to reinstalled it using ubuntu software... it showed it like it was installed, so i tried removing it, and it looked like it was stuck | 01:11 |
| imperfect- | I just bought a 65$ fan. the stock one sucked. | 01:12 |
| GeekSquid | Guest5835: you are running in ROOT mode, this is very insecure, suggest logging off and logging in as a regular user, you are at risk of being hacked | 01:12 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | anyone know about configuring vnc in ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| Linux000 | mrwizeguy1983: server or client? | 01:12 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | a friend is at a hotspot and i need to help him with something, but vino says it's only accessible on the local network | 01:12 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Linux000, both i guess, whatever it takes to make it work | 01:13 |
| scootsm | Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to switch my sources from 9.04 to 9.10? Or perhaps do a partial upgrade to 9.10? I'm using coLinux, with Ubuntu 9.04, and there seems to be some compatibility issues with 9.10 still (http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/UbuntuKarmic). | 01:13 |
| Ritley | scootsm, on ubuntu's website they'll give you a step by step | 01:14 |
| Linux000 | mrwizeguy1983: hmm, if he's at a public hotspot, I can't help much, sorry | 01:14 |
| scootsm | What I'm wondering is if just referencing 9.10 packages with a 9.04 install is OK to do. | 01:14 |
| GeekSquid | mrwizeguy1983: you would need to be on the same network as your friend, especialy if he is at a hotspot, you'd both need to be on the same lan, | 01:14 |
| Red_HamsterX | clickme, what utility were you using to add access to the restricted repository? | 01:14 |
| scootsm | Ritley: I'm trying to avoid a full upgrade to 9.10, though. Which doesn't seem to be explained anywhere | 01:14 |
| clickme | ubuntu software center | 01:14 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | .... GeekSquid and Linux000 teamviewer and crossloop can do it on windows, surely linux doesn't fall short in the area of vnc? | 01:14 |
| gorgeous_george | hi | 01:14 |

| unop | scootsm, when you say "sources" - do you mean the repositories? | 01:15 |
| Roey | hi | 01:15 |
| Ritley | scootsm, i could be wrong, but i don't believe it upgradse *EVERYTHING* just what is needed to be the same as | 01:15 |
| Red_HamsterX | clickme, please provide the menu path you used to find it. | 01:15 |
| Roey | http://pastebin.com/FVMeEDYj <--- which packages do I need to enable this? | 01:15 |
| Roey | (from medibuntu I assume) | 01:15 |
| melow01 | Linux000, I used lsusb to find the chipset for my Netgear WN111 adapter and its using the Atheros AR9001U | 01:15 |
| Red_HamsterX | clickme, never mind. I'm blind. | 01:15 |
| clickme | in the ubuntu software center or the OS | 01:15 |
| melow01 | Linux000, However, Karmic isn't seeing the device and I searched the Ubuntu site and found it to be working for Karmic | 01:16 |
| Red_HamsterX | clickme, edit -> software sources? | 01:16 |
| melow01 | Linux000, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear | 01:17 |
| GeekSquid | mrwizeguy1983: your friend is behind a firewall, teamviewer uses a proxy to connect.... you are limited in what you can do in this case... you would need a proxy to provide a route between him and you, and is probably beyond the level of support you will be able to get here | 01:17 |
| Red_HamsterX | clickme, try System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> 'Reload' (in the upper left) | 01:17 |
| revelnick | forgive the question but if i want to grant a user (www-data in this case) permission to read/write /var/www/ i need to use acls ? | 01:18 |
| GeekSquid | Roey: yes, as you have medibuntu installed ... start with w32codecs, see if that does what you need, you are obviously working with an Windows Media format | 01:18 |
| Linux000 | melow1: hmm, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406405 | 01:18 |
| apoc_ | My built-in webcam used to work, but now there is no /dev/video*. Any ideas? | 01:19 |
| Roey | GeekSquid: it didn't work | 01:19 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, no. POSIX access controls are sufficient. | 01:19 |
| revelnick | Red_HamsterX, so i make www-data member of group with access, is that how? | 01:19 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, if you want to allow www-data to write to things, it would be best to use a sub-directory, not your DocumentRoot. | 01:20 |
| Roey | GeekSquid: well... I run 64-bit | 01:20 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, www-data is already amember of the group www-data. | 01:20 |
| Roey | GeekSquid: I have no w32codecs, so I did installed w64codecs. But my video still won't play osund | 01:20 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, it's both a named UID and a named GID. | 01:20 |
| revelnick | Red_HamsterX but www-data user or group does not have access to /var/www | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: what video player? I recall some defaulting to not use pulse audio | 01:21 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: mplayer | 01:21 |
| Roey | oh, it's you! | 01:21 |
| Roey | hey! | 01:21 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, just change the directory (or subdirectory, ideally)'s owner with chown or some GUI tool. | 01:21 |
| coldfire | if you are not dual booting can you access the grub2 menu and how? | 01:21 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: I tried it with Xine, too, and it didn't work there either | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: check the audio output device set to use. also run it from a terminal and look for any error emssages | 01:21 |
| Blackcamaro8 | Where is the file rc.local to be created? | 01:22 |
| Linux000 | coldfire: try hitting the esc key when you boot | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Blackcamaro8: its in /etc/ allready made. | 01:22 |
| Blackcamaro8 | Thanks, Dr_Willis. | 01:22 |
| GeekSquid | Roey: it is not my business trying to help with 64bit stuff, I am strictly a 32bit guy | 01:23 |
| clickme | whar if that doesn't work | 01:23 |
| clickme | whar=what | 01:23 |
| melow01 | Linux000, I'll try that in a bit | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: i use vlc mainly these days. Ive rarely found a video i cant play. | 01:23 |
| nertil | how to install tspc | 01:23 |
| nertil | E: Couldn't find package tspc | 01:23 |
| melow01 | Linux000, I tried 'lshw' and it says that my Wireless is 'disabled' | 01:23 |
| GeekSquid | coldfire: the key is SHIFT at boot to get to the grub2 menu | 01:23 |
| melow01 | Linux000, I also found that my wireless in 'not configured' in the network gui | 01:24 |
| GeekSquid | melow01: have you run the restricted drivers manager? | 01:25 |
| Linux000 | melow01: did you right click and enable wireless on the network manger icon at the top of the screen? | 01:25 |
| revelnick | Red_HamsterX, there is 'www-data' which is the user that the application server runs as, there is also 'deploy' which is the user that the deployment scripts run as, so both need to be able to read/write /var/www. i made 'deploy' a member of group 'staff' and changed /var/www to root:staff. but now i'm not sure what to do, should i just make 'www-data' a member of the 'staff' group? | 01:26 |
| Roey | GeekSquid: ahhh ok. Thanks then!! :) | 01:26 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: I tried vlc too but it didn't work | 01:26 |
| Roey | No suitable decoder module: | 01:26 |
| Roey | VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: then you got some very weird codec or some other sound issues. | 01:26 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: it gives me that | 01:26 |
| coldfire | geeksquid: thanks | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: thats a codec ive never heard of. | 01:27 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: well mplayer clearly says it's a codec issue | 01:27 |
| Roey | http://pastebin.com/FVMeEDYj <--- which packages do I need to enable this? | 01:27 |
| Roey | that | 01:27 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: that's the error message | 01:27 |
| melow01 | Linux000, GeekSquid I enabled the Wireless by checking the box next to it in the Network Manager but the activity light is still dark | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: where did this video file come from anyway? | 01:27 |
| Roey | porn, of course. | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: then in that case its VERY likely its some 'spammy codec' the porn company is using to try to get you to their site to download/install their malware/virus/sell you junk | 01:28 |
| Red_HamsterX | revelnick, that's a viable solution. | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Roey: Theres all kinds of that garbage out there. | 01:29 |
| Linux000 | melow01: hmm, thats the end I my knowledge, sorry I could help | 01:29 |
| Roey | sure | 01:29 |
| Roey | Dr_Willis: sure | 01:29 |

| Dr_Willis | Hmm. Ive never managed to find a mouse that dident work. :) well not tried any bluetooth ones | 01:55 |
| gary_maurizi | help! i pretty much KNOW my bind setup is correct, but dig is failing & host -a maurizi.lan finds maurizi.lan @ 192.168.1.1 but continues to look for ¨maurizi.lan.maurizi.lan¨ and fails. where is my syntax error ? i think its something with my hostname/hosts file/resolv.conf | 01:56 |
| Dan_E | ok ended the process but it is still on the desktop | 01:56 |
| brjann | Dan_E: ended, or killed? | 01:56 |

| greezmunkey | gary_maurizi, are you reloading/refreshing after changes? | 01:57 |
| Dan_E | ended | 01:57 |
| gary_maurizi | greezmunkey, yeah i am. One sec and ill pastebin all related files if needed. | 01:57 |
| cheetos_ | How do you make/install a ralink rt2870 driver? | 01:58 |

| greezmunkey | gary_maurizi, sure | 01:58 |
| Adrian | any idaes why the netbook remix laucher isnt clickable? | 01:59 |

Does anyone know how to get ubuntu to install? | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Blackcamaro8: gee.. the package list i see includes --> nvidia-glx-173 - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver | 02:26 |

| J13R | No no no, in ##windows they are talking about ubuntu and linux all the time, so I thought maybe this is the right place | 02:27 |

| coz_ | eremite, ok open a terminal and try gnome-volume-control-applet & disown | 02:53 |
| SolarisBoy | gary_maurizi: look for search line | 02:53 |
| gary_maurizi | search maurizi.lan nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 02:53 |
| SolarisBoy | gary_maurizi: so you dont need to ever type maurizi.lan just the hostname | 02:53 |
| eremite | coz_, applet is running. Like I said, it works fine but its NOT in the panel. | 02:53 |
| coz_ | eremite, mmm | 02:53 |
| SolarisBoy | maurizi.lan is appended automatically because of that line search 'maurizi.lan' | 02:54 |
| gary_maurizi | this is true. aha! i get it | 02:54 |
| GeekSquid | tim167: I know what that is, I am trying to understand your sitiuation, I do not believe your client is using the ethernet connection to try to connect to the server, it is still trying to use wireless, better to have a router between the two, I'm kinda stumped, I haven't encountered this sitiuation, I apologize if I caused you any confustion | 02:54 |
| eremite | coz_, thanks for the help. I gotta go. I'll fiure it out somehow. | 02:54 |
| trism | eremite: are you missing the notification area? the volume control isn't actually a panel applet anymore | 02:54 |
| magicvibe | any suggestions for a decent reliable torrent app for ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| coz_ | eremite, yes as trism said | 02:54 |
| SolarisBoy | magicvibe: i like deluge not sure what others would say | 02:55 |
| gary_maurizi | however bind9 is still failing. authorative nameserver 127.0.0.1 fails and passes a search for ns1 on to the forwarders (my isps ns) set in bind | 02:55 |

| magicvibe | thanks all | 02:55 |
| gary_maurizi | should i change that too 192.168.1.1? | 02:55 |
| SolarisBoy | gary_maurizi: what ar you trying to do .... in defined your nameserver as 127.0.0.1... | 02:56 |
| tim167 | GeekSquid: sorry for my reaction, i'm a bit annoyed with this situation, been messing with this for too long... i do get 'connection established' on the client side machine when i plug in the cable... | 02:56 |

| SolarisBoy | ok is bind listening on th eloopback or the lan interface? | 02:57 |
| SolarisBoy | or both? | 02:57 |
| gary_maurizi | well, should be both. default functions to listen on the loopback right? | 02:58 |
| GeekSquid | tim167: no problem, you said you got connection established on the client side. what about the server side? | 02:58 |
| SolarisBoy | i forget been using tiny a while now =) | 02:58 |

| gary_maurizi | SolarisBoy: your correct in that it is ACTING as if bind isnt even listening. (but it must be as its forwarding the requests to my ispś servers. and my isp servers are set only in bind as forwarders, no where else on the system) | 02:59 |
| gary_maurizi | its like bind is completely ignoring my zone file or something. | 03:00 |

| SolarisBoy | try replacing the loopback with the lan IP i think its forwarding the request to your ISP servers... | 03:03 |
| blankthemuffin | So I'm having some trouble with brasero. trying to burn a dvd video. get through all the options and hit burn to start burning, it crashes with "**ERROR: [brasero] Sample rate is greater than permitted in specified Level" I'm trying to burn a theora+vorbis encoded video at 2048 and64kbps respectively. any idea what I might have to transcode to in order to get this to work? | 03:03 |
| SolarisBoy | you may need to set up scopes for whats resolved internally and whats getting forwarded (i believe).. | 03:03 |
| gary_maurizi | same result replacing localhost with lan ip @ dig trace. | 03:03 |
| SolarisBoy | gary_maurizi: correct | 03:04 |
| GeekSquid | tim167: ping from the server to the client | 03:04 |
| gary_maurizi | It is forwarding the requests to my ispś servers. what i gotta figure out is ?why | 03:04 |

| coz_ | CPrgmSwR2, oooo that's way too long.... what exactly is the problem? | 03:08 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | coz_: does pulseaudio interface with alsa | 03:08 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | I have not sound out of speakers but I have sound out of headphone jack | 03:08 |

| kemutug | sudah di ubuntu-id tapi gak ada teman disana | 03:10 |
| coz_ | CPrgmSwR2, the iwould go to both #pulseaudio and #alsa channels I am sure between the two you should get this solved | 03:10 |
| SolarisBoy | if you are using bind i believe... it needs to know what is gettting resolved by the forward line and what you expect to resolve locally | 03:10 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | coz_: thanks | 03:10 |
| SolarisBoy | afaik this is done with ACLs and scope | 03:10 |
| aaron_ | quit | 03:11 |
| gary_maurizi | SolarisBoy i have never heard the term scopes in reference too bind, and, actually with bind everything is tried locally and its passed on to the forwarders if it fails. (this is afaik the default behavior) | 03:11 |

| bjb1959 | I can't get my new nvida gt 240 to work with any driver other then nv. everything else I try x won't start. any ideas? | 03:32 |
| sloopy | rdz_, is it listed properly in /etc/fstab ? | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: tip #1 - i think woulkd be to use $(command) instead of backticks. makes things more readable | 03:32 |

| John | In XChat, is there a way to disable all the join/quit messages? | 03:32 |
| dr3mro | ok | 03:33 |
| dr3mro | Dr_Willis, ok | 03:33 |
| GeekSquid | bjb1959: have you used 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' with the nvidia-glx driver installed? | 03:33 |
| Keelan | Im going to try this one more time | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: and try a 'echo' befor the lines/commands that you are expanding to see what they actually get expanded to | 03:33 |

| SolarisBoy | bash -x even | 03:33 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, yeah. as i said: when in maintenance shell, i can do 'mount -a' and then it is mounted. but actually it should have been mounted already at this ppoint, shouldn't it? | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: ie -> echo `sed '/"$fname"/d' "$dname"/.hidden > "$dname"/.hidden` | 03:33 |
| bjb1959 | I used jockey to install the drivers and rebooted, do I still need to run that? | 03:33 |
| greezmunkey | Keelan, so set your Ubuntu IP to 192.168.1.101/24 gw 192.168.1.100 and try it. | 03:33 |
| Blackcamaro8 | I installed the nVidia 173 drivers for an nVidia GF 5200FX, and Ubuntu refuses to enable effects. Any suggestions? | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: or without the ` | 03:34 |
| sloopy | rdz_, yes it should... | 03:34 |
| Keelan | greezmunkey: 192.168.1.101/24? | 03:34 |
| SolarisBoy | why would that sed need to be in backticks? | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: line 8 -> `sed '/"$fname"/d' "$dname"/.hidden > "$dname"/.hidden` seems wrong to me | 03:34 |
| GeekSquid | icoder: you are running a non-standard sources list, that wouldn't happen otherwise | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | SolarisBoy: thats what im wondering also | 03:34 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, it goes into maintenance shell with some errors alike '/var/run could not be mounted, no such file or directory' | 03:34 |
| greezmunkey | Keelan, /24 = 255.255.255.0 | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 03:34 |
| Keelan | oh | 03:34 |
| bjb1959 | GeekSquid: I used jockey to install the drivers and rebooted, do I still need to run that? | 03:34 |
| icoder | GeekSquid: its the official karmic list only.. none other than that.. 3 sources only | 03:35 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, there are several such lines for certain subdirectories of /var | 03:35 |
| dr3mro | Dr_Willis, so what is the correct line? plz | 03:35 |
| Keelan | Do I have to input DNS servers, or does it automatically fill them in if they're left blank? | 03:35 |
| Moat | i need an instant messaging system that can use hotmail adresses, i tried pidgin but it sucked | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: why do you have backticks? is the question | 03:35 |
| sloopy | rdz_, pastebin of /etc/fstab ? | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: try it without backticks | 03:35 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, ok. 1 sec | 03:35 |
| dr3mro | ok | 03:35 |
| GeekSquid | icoder: apparently not. ... please pastebin your sources.list | 03:35 |
| blakkheim | Moat: finch | 03:35 |
| Moat | kk | 03:35 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i'am running a live-session now, just for the info | 03:36 |
| SolarisBoy | why not something like .. sed -i.bak -e 's///g' ${dname}/.hidden | 03:36 |
| SolarisBoy | ? | 03:36 |
| trism | dr3mro: I have no idea what you're trying to do with that line, but Dr_Willis is correct, using single quotes will cause the shell variables not to be expanded, if you want them expanded you need double quotes | 03:36 |
| AaronAaronAaron | how do you connect to IRC in irssi, again, I disconnected, and forgot the first time intro screen info that got me here. | 03:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: also any paths/filenames with spaces may cause iss if youa renot carefull | 03:36 |
| sloopy | rdz_, mount the root in /mnt and c&p it | 03:36 |
| GeekSquid | bjb1959: I am not familiar with jockey ... I use the nvidia provided tools only when installing nvidia drivers | 03:36 |
| Keelan | greezmunkey: It still isn't wanting to work right | 03:36 |
| eric2269008 | getting invalid path chosen error when installing a game with wine...anyone got an answer? | 03:37 |
| bjb1959 | GeekSquid: that is Jockey there is Jockey-gtk and qt it's the hardware driver utility | 03:37 |

| Hebram | aaron: /connect irc.freenode.net | 03:38 |
| SolarisBoy | :/connect | 03:38 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, originally the / was before /var, but then i tried it this way.. it didn't help | 03:38 |
| Hebram | aaron: or whatever server you wish to connect to | 03:38 |

| sloopy | rdz_, is the /var drive the same unit as the / or two different drives? | 03:39 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, it's the same harddrive, different partition | 03:39 |
| Moat | anyone? i need an IM that isn't pidgin | 03:39 |

| Hebram | moat: empathy is bundled with latest Ubuntu | 03:39 |
| dr3mro | Dr_Willis, i changed something from script as you said but it doesn't work too it should remove the selected filenames by nautilus from .hidden file but it removes all content of .hidden what caused that | 03:39 |
| AaronAaronAaron | It's saying "no route to host" | 03:39 |
| sloopy | rdz_, any mention in dmesg about it? | 03:40 |
| chd | how do I get all my partitions to auto mount when ubuntu 9.10 starts? | 03:40 |
| SolarisBoy | dr3mro: the sed line | 03:40 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, about /var? nope | 03:40 |
| Keelan | Anyone else able to help me with my bridge problems? | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: use of lots of echo commands to see what commands its doing exactly after expansion - may show some logic error. | 03:40 |
| dr3mro | please check http://pastebin.com/D3iiCF3A | 03:40 |
| Moat | hebram what command do i use? | 03:40 |
| sloopy | chd, list them in /etc/fstab | 03:40 |
| Moat | sudo-apt-get install empathy? | 03:40 |
| GeekSquid | bjb1959: that is the restricted drivers manager, it is essentially only to install the driver ... use the better driver then run sudo nvidia-xconfig to create a new xorg.conf with the new drivers enacted | 03:41 |
| AaronAaronAaron | I'm having trouble with empathy | 03:41 |
| icoder | GeekSquid: u find any unofficial sources? | 03:41 |
| AaronAaronAaron | xchat has been recommended once so far here | 03:41 |
| Moat | Hebram whats the command? sudo apt-get install empathy? | 03:41 |
| MyWay | hi, i can't access any folder, either if i set its permission to 777, why? | 03:41 |
| icoder | GeekSquid: http://pastebin.com/060BmjBD | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: if you are somehow giving sed the string '$XXXX' as a pattern. stuff like $ have speial meaning to sed. | 03:41 |
| Hebram | moat: Correct | 03:41 |
| sloopy | rdz_, your fstab looks fine... nothing in the /var/log/messages about it? | 03:41 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i mean, when i booted from disk, i did 'dmesg | less' from the maintenance shell and the only mentioning of mounts was /dev/sda5 which is / | 03:41 |
| SolarisBoy | it needs to be \$ if you need it to mean something other than end of line to sed | 03:42 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, the bad thing is i can't check those, because /var is not mounted, thus nothing is written there | 03:42 |
| dr3mro | Dr_Willis, so what do you suggest ? | 03:42 |
| rohith | What version on Ubuntu supports ATI Randeon X300 Mobilty? | 03:42 |
| Keelan | Does ubuntu not automatically search for available wireless networks? | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | dr3mro: learn some sed. use lots of echo commands.. test it out and see what you are doing wrong. | 03:42 |
| sloopy | check the / drive, it might have put them in it... | 03:42 |
| GeekSquid | icoder: no, however, you are using different servers and the gpgkeys may differ from server to server ... also you are using universe updates and not universe in the main server, could also confuse apt... I am going to bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 03:42 |
| SolarisBoy | also with -i you need to provide some back up file name i believe sed -i.bak... | 03:42 |
| John | j | 03:42 |
| chd | sloopy, how do you mean list them? | 03:43 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i am starting to believe that something is trying to access /var even before the regular 'mount -a' is executed | 03:43 |
| aaron | allright, xchat is working!!! | 03:43 |
| aaron | way better than empathy!! | 03:43 |
| chd | sloopy, nevermind I'll look at this fstab | 03:43 |
| aaron | What a waste of time | 03:43 |
| sloopy | chd, look in the file /etc/fstab and see how / is listed | 03:43 |
| aaron | ok, see you all around | 03:43 |
| aaron | thanks! | 03:43 |
| rohith | What version on Ubuntu supports ATI Randeon X300 Mobilty? | 03:44 |
| sloopy | rdz_, is there a /var on the root drive? | 03:44 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, good point, but yeah there is one | 03:44 |
| Keelan | hah | 03:44 |
| Keelan | Oh the irony | 03:44 |
| Keelan | I unplugged the network cable and plugged it back in | 03:45 |
| Keelan | and it magically started working | 03:45 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, it is mounted correctly if i do 'mount -a'. that is what i find strange | 03:45 |
| gwtl_ | lol | 03:45 |
| Keelan | I love ubuntu... | 03:45 |
| gwtl_ | haha | 03:45 |
| sloopy | rdz_, see if anything is in it... i know many a moon ago the mount point had to be there even if a fs was mounted to it later | 03:45 |
| Keelan | see you, guys | 03:45 |
| Keelan | thanks for the help | 03:45 |
| SolarisBoy | mount -a just reads everything in fstab and mounts it | 03:45 |
| SolarisBoy | or tries to | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | some good sed exaples http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt | 03:45 |
| rohith | I need help What version on Ubuntu supports ATI Randeon X300 Mobilty? | 03:46 |
| SolarisBoy | Dr_Willis: i love that link =) | 03:46 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, the mount point is existing but empty.. you mean i should put some directories there? | 03:46 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, the ones, that the log is moaning about? | 03:46 |
| patx | I installed Codeville by doing "sudo apt-get install codeville" but when I try to use the command "codeville" it says no such command. Why is this? | 03:47 |
| sloopy | rdz_, my best guess would be to put a /var/log only on the root drive, and reboot it, and see what it says... it will mount over the /var when working correctly | 03:47 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i'll try | 03:47 |
| SolarisBoy | patx: maybe the command to start it isn't codeville? | 03:47 |
| AaronAaronAaron | goodbye!!! | 03:47 |

| icoder | how can i open a a jpg file in a gedit | 03:47 |
| sloopy | rdz_, np | 03:47 |
| icoder | i could do that in notepad | 03:47 |
| SolarisBoy | icoder: why do this? | 03:47 |
| patx | SolarisBoy, ok, but what would it be, i cant find any docs... | 03:48 |
| icoder | SolarisBoy: to see the image heaers | 03:48 |
| SolarisBoy | icoder: you can use other things to read the image headers | 03:48 |
| icoder | SolarisBoy: can u suggest any? | 03:48 |

| SolarisBoy | not sure why gedit can't open it | 03:49 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | oh well, I will never have sound again | 03:49 |

| Hebram | I am using X and the nvidia restricted driver on my laptop. I have nvidia-settings for dual monitors. Is there a utility/application that will automatically detect/hotplug the monitors in and out of dual head mode as needed? If not, is there a simple utility that does it quickly and easily, albeit manually? | 03:50 |
| SolarisBoy | icoder: i think imagemagick has some tools that do this one sec though.. | 03:51 |

| bjb1959 | sassinoogi, go to the medibuntu.org site and follow the directions then use a package manager like synaptic to install the extras | 04:00 |
| sassinoogi | Can anyone tell me how to do this...?(10:59:30 PM) bjb1959: sassinoogi: install the medibuntu repository and then install the ubuntu restricted extras | 04:00 |
| gwtl_ | sasnoogi, as far as I know both mplayer and vlc support playing wav and prettymuch everything else out of the box | 04:01 |

| dr3mro | guys now i have schemas files of nautilus actions and i have some files needed to be copied to /usr/bin so nautilus actions work how can i create a deb package to do that ?????? | 04:01 |

| MrsApple | any help with flash issues??? | 04:02 |
| xangua | bjb1959: you are only confusing him/her...and me...... sassinoogi just install restricted extras; if ussing gnome then open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:02 |
| SolarisBoy | xangua: indeed | 04:03 |
| bjb1959 | xangua, without the medibuntu repo you will not get all the codecs you need | 04:03 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: after that, then allso install vlc and mplayer: sudo apt-get install vlc mplayer | 04:03 |
| xangua | bjb1959: again, what relation has medibuntu woth restrcited extras metapackage¿¿ | 04:04 |
| gwtl_ | you'll be able to play pretty much anything after thet | 04:04 |
| gwtl_ | racerd: do you mean command line vlc? | 04:04 |

| Topy44 | what is the easiest way to do a full system backup of my linux installation? (i have an usb stick that is larger then the system drive available) | 04:06 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, what version of ubuntu are you running and what chip of VGA? | 04:06 |
| Topy44 | i want a backup that, if needed, i can restore including all settings etc | 04:07 |
| gwtl_ | racerd: you can play music from ssh or Alt+Ctrl+F1 etc =D | 04:07 |
| sassinoogi | I am completely, 100% lost | 04:07 |
| racerd | really? | 04:07 |
| bjb1959 | I am running 9.10 karmic and have a nvidia gt 240 | 04:07 |
| racerd | huh | 04:07 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: sudo aptitude install vlc | 04:07 |
| racerd | i have an iphone | 04:07 |
| racerd | can i sync it using itunes | 04:07 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, try envy-qt | 04:07 |
| sassinoogi | what is vlc? | 04:07 |
| gwtl_ | media player | 04:08 |
| racerd | videoLAN | 04:08 |
| gwtl_ | www.videolan.org/vlc/ | 04:08 |
| bjb1959 | ouyes: I have tried it. I can install but x won't start on re-boot | 04:08 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, sudo apt-get install envy-qt | 04:08 |
| racerd | hey | 04:08 |
| xangua | racerd: the next version of gnome to be incluided in lucyd lynx will have support for ipod/iphone | 04:08 |
| Adrian | Topy44 - dd? | 04:08 |
| racerd | sweet | 04:08 |
| racerd | it's hacked | 04:08 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, you use gnome? | 04:09 |
| gwtl_ | nice | 04:09 |
| racerd | so i could ssh into i think | 04:09 |
| icoder | histo: i guess it was the problem with sources but i couldnt identify what it was. just changed the download server to the main and its all going smooth | 04:09 |
| racerd | i fi can remember what i changed the default password to | 04:09 |
| icoder | histo: plus removed the multiverse | 04:09 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, so far envy-qt works well for me | 04:09 |
| racerd | my wii is hacked | 04:09 |
| bjb1959 | I use both gnome and kde 4.4 but the problem is x won't start | 04:09 |
| Topy44 | Adrian: yeah, probably - but how? and do i need to do it from a secondary system or can ubuntu image the system its running from? | 04:09 |
| racerd | need to hack my xbox 360 | 04:09 |
| racerd | does anyone know a place i can go to get info on that? | 04:09 |
| ouyes | bjb1959, then i can not do anything to help | 04:10 |
| gwtl_ | racerd: If I ssh into my computer I can start mplayer playing etc, vlc is a bit harder to use though. | 04:10 |
| sassinoogi | ok, so I type the commands in the terminal and I get "no such job" | 04:10 |
| sassinoogi | what does that mean? | 04:10 |
| racerd | you ssh through your iphone? | 04:10 |
| gwtl_ | racerd: mplayer command line is also nice to use while playing games | 04:10 |
| racerd | i need to get that working | 04:10 |
| Zus | ouyes sorry to interrupt but i too have an Nvidia card GefForce 5200 and have Envy-NG installed but after the grub screen its all black, if i hit enter i get so such directory and a prompt where only the word reboot seems to work.. | 04:10 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, creating those directories in /var did help insofar, that i could boot in recovery mode (normal mode results in hang at 'low-graphics session' window). it seems that ubuntu treats /var special in terms of that it writes there even before it is 'normally' mounted | 04:10 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: try sudo apt-get vlc | 04:10 |
| SolarisBoy | racerd: if you have appstore on your iphone there is "ssh terminal" app free version FYI | 04:11 |
| blankthemuffin | So I'm having some trouble with brasero. trying to burn a dvd video. get through all the options and hit burn to start burning, it crashes with "**ERROR: [brasero] Sample rate is greater than permitted in specified Level" I'm trying to burn a theora+vorbis encoded video at 2048 and64kbps respectively. any idea what I might have to transcode to in order to get this to work? | 04:11 |
| racerd | lol | 04:11 |
| racerd | app store lol | 04:11 |
| bjb1959 | sassinoogi: it's sudo apt-get install vlc | 04:11 |
| chili555 | sassinoogi, sudo apt-get install vlc | 04:11 |
| SolarisBoy | ? | 04:11 |
| racerd | j/k ;) | 04:11 |
| sassinoogi | "invalid operation" | 04:11 |
| racerd | nah i know | 04:11 |
| racerd | i have a terminal | 04:11 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, with those directories created, the /var partition got mounted afterwards.. isn't that schizophrenic? | 04:11 |
| racerd | i don't really use the app store | 04:11 |
| icoder | vlc cant play midi | 04:11 |
| racerd | cydia is what i use | 04:11 |
| xangua | sassinoogi: you have no administrator privileges then¿¿ | 04:11 |
| SolarisBoy | oh | 04:11 |
| sassinoogi | ok...that worked | 04:11 |
| sloopy | rdz_, no not really... does it boot normally now? | 04:12 |
| racerd | i just need to figure out how to do it | 04:12 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i think i abandon the idea of having /var on its own partition | 04:12 |
| Adrian | Topy44 "dd if=/dev/hdx | gzip > /path/to/image.gz" | 04:12 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, no, i can still not boot normally.. many services just fail | 04:12 |
| Adrian | or just "dd if=/dev/hdx of=/path/to/image" if youre feeling lazy | 04:12 |
| sassinoogi | it is reading the database, processing, blah blah...that good? | 04:12 |
| ouyes | Zus, then, for nvidia card , the official driver works just well, we can give a try, | 04:12 |
| gwtl_ | now, sassinoogi, Vlc should be in menu >> Sound and Video | 04:12 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: yea | 04:12 |
| Topy44 | Adrian: ok. can i backup the running system or should i do this from a secondary system? | 04:13 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: it | 04:13 |
| ouyes | Zus, this lap i am using is ait vga | 04:13 |
| gwtl_ | sassinoogi: its installing it | 04:13 |
| Adrian | should work while running | 04:13 |
| histo | icoder: i think rhythmbox can play midi | 04:13 |
| bjb1959 | so no ideas on why x won't start when using nvidia drivers? | 04:13 |
| sassinoogi | thanks! You all are lifesavers!:-D | 04:13 |
| gwtl_ | np | 04:14 |
| histo | icoder: and I know xmms has a midi plugin | 04:14 |
| JohnDoeKnow | is there a command line to tell dpkg to automatically download and install any dependencies that are require? | 04:14 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, do you know the explanation, why some directories are required to exist in the mountpoint, although afterwards they are irrelevant because something is mounted to the mount point? | 04:14 |
| coltonzy | command line says GCC + essential are installed. I just have a bunch of cluttered confusing files. what am I missing? sorry im newb | 04:14 |
| histo | !midi > icoder | 04:14 |
| ubottu | icoder, please see my private message | 04:14 |
| histo | coltonzy: what are you trying to install? | 04:15 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | Can I get help with sound | 04:15 |
| sloopy | rdz_, it may need them, you may have have it mount sooner... | 04:15 |
| histo | !sound > CPrgmSwR2 | 04:15 |
| coltonzy | gcc compiler | 04:15 |
| ubottu | CPrgmSwR2, please see my private message | 04:15 |
| histo | coltonzy: dpkg -l | grep gcc | 04:15 |
| Adrian | Topy44 - sure the command will work while the machine runs - however you might still face issues, not because of the command itself, but because of unsaved data thats in the RAM | 04:15 |
| Topy44 | Adrian: hm... any way i can get dd to give me some status info while working? this may take a while :) | 04:15 |
| histo | coltonzy: will show you if its installed | 04:15 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, how can i tell <don't know who> to mount /var sooner? can you specify that in /etc/fstab ? | 04:16 |
| histo | coltonzy: what are you trying to do with gcc? | 04:16 |
| SolarisBoy | Adrian: or if your disk fills up =) | 04:16 |
| Topy44 | Adrian: well, it shouldnt be worse than hard-resetting the machine, right? | 04:16 |
| Topy44 | which most of the time wont do much harm | 04:16 |
| gwtl_ | where can I find help regarding keyboard-related issues? | 04:16 |
| neezer | does opening up a port on the router for torrents open you up for attack? | 04:16 |
| Adrian | SolarisBoy - Topy44 said he has enough space | 04:17 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | histo: it is far more complex than that | 04:17 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i used to separate /var on debian systems just fine.. it's seems to me there is something special about ubuntu... | 04:17 |
| coltonzy | says I have base packages + library + C compiler | 04:17 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | Is there a way I can get into alsa and configure it some how | 04:17 |
| coltonzy | just want it to run | 04:17 |
| Topy44 | yeah, the system disk is a 4gb ssd, and i am backupping to an 8gb usb stick | 04:17 |
| Topy44 | and i just realized i am backupping 4gb to a fat32 drive, which of course will fail at the 2gb mark :) | 04:17 |
| histo | coltonzy: what are you tryuing to compile something? | 04:17 |
| SolarisBoy | hmm is /path/to/file on another disk? | 04:18 |
| coltonzy | nope, just very confused | 04:18 |
| histo | coltonzy: okay well gcc is to compile C stuff | 04:19 |
| pcacjr | is there any program to paste files on ubuntu ? | 04:19 |
| histo | coltonzy: its not something you just run. You have to have source code for it to build something. | 04:19 |
| histo | pcacjr: paste files? | 04:19 |
| coltonzy | ah | 04:19 |
| vips | I need some help regarding internet surfing in ubuntu | 04:19 |
| pcacjr | for e.g, pasting source codes directly to a link | 04:19 |
| vips | I cant surf net smoothly..after opening one website or two, connection to websites are delayed | 04:20 |
| pcacjr | through a command line | 04:20 |
| histo | coltonzy: its used whne installing source code or by programers to compile their code. | 04:20 |
| histo | pcacjr: what do you mean? copy and paste? | 04:20 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, and what is also funny: all the directories in the mountpoint /var are empty | 04:21 |
| Topy44 | btw, has anyone here downgraded their gdm on karmic? among other problems, the new login screen is totally low-resolution incompatible, so i am thinking about trying it | 04:21 |
| coltonzy | making sense now - like I said Im newb, thanks | 04:21 |
| pcacjr | histo: yeah | 04:21 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, some services seem only to claim to require those directories, but actually don't write anything to them | 04:21 |
| gudang | antontea | 04:21 |
| histo | pcacjr: you can do that hilight something you can even right click then select copy. right click and paste where you want it to go | 04:21 |
| meowbuntu | right click and do it all over again | 04:22 |
| histo | pcacjr: or you can click both mouse buttoms at the same time to paste. | 04:22 |
| pcacjr | ah, ok. i thought ubuntu would have a descent tool to do that job... | 04:22 |
| pcacjr | ty anyway | 04:22 |

| krummi | fuck y | 04:24 |
| krummi | u | 04:24 |
| coz_ | pcacjr, if you higlight something and just middle click to where ever you want to paste it should work just fine | 04:24 |
| SolarisBoy | pcacjr: there is xclip as well | 04:24 |
| sloopy | rdz_, may not use them at boot... but running system would be diff... | 04:24 |
| coz_ | pcacjr, this holds true on all linux and unix distributions | 04:24 |
| histo | pcacjr: it depends what you are trying to do? there are clipboard managers you can use also. | 04:24 |
| Adrian | Topy44 - googling "dd progress" gives you some results... about the 2GB limit - you can combine dd, gzip with split - so you have a archive truncuated into pieces | 04:24 |
| pcacjr | a sorry | 04:24 |
| xangua | Royall: only if you have an xmpp client open in terminal and the experimental 'xmpp addon' for firefox | 04:25 |

| pcacjr | the output will generate a link where the file content is pasted out | 04:26 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i just copied back my system from a backup after having formatted the disk. do you know if there are deviices in /dev that need to be created manually? i haven't backed up those | 04:26 |
| coz_ | pcacjr, mm how about pastebinit | 04:26 |
| rdz_ | sloopy, i mean, could this also lead to problems on booting? | 04:26 |

| blankthemuffin | because that's how chrome works, it's a multi-process browser | 04:27 |
| histo | zetheroo: lying in wait | 04:27 |
| sloopy | rdz_, you would be better off just copying the contents of your /var partition to the root partition in single/recovery mode and continue on... | 04:28 |
| magicvibe | how does one see which processes are running within ubuntu 9.10 ? | 04:28 |

| knottydreads87 | SolarisBoy, no, its open | 04:31 |
| histo | knottydreads87: well is the other machine behind a router? | 04:31 |
| SolarisBoy | ok | 04:31 |
| knottydreads87 | histo, yes, but what port needs to be open? | 04:32 |
| xangua | magicvibe: the amsn process is 'wish8.5' | 04:32 |
| SolarisBoy | 5900 | 04:32 |
| knottydreads87 | i'll try opening it | 04:32 |
| sloopy | rdz_, the /dev dir is a directory of black magic and fables... playing with it without proper knowledge is asking for a drenching of 'oh $#it' liberally applied with a firehose... | 04:32 |

| xangua | magicvibe: if not try with 'wish8.4' or something like that | 04:32 |

| xangua | Kavinorum: what do you want to install¿ | 04:35 |
| k0rbis | @Kavinorum i386 is 32bit, you can't install on amd64 | 04:35 |
| Kavinorum | tonido | 04:35 |
| microlith | err | 04:35 |
| k0rbis | @Kavinorum You need the .deb package for amd64 | 04:35 |
| microlith | you can install 32-bit software on x86_64 CPUs | 04:35 |
| Kavinorum | according to their site it works with ia32-libs | 04:35 |
| rdz_ | sagaci, actually you shouldn't edit directly, but by some command like 'visudo' | 04:35 |
| sagaci | rdz: so add apt-get update to the sudoers file | 04:35 |
| microlith | ahh | 04:35 |

| Kavinorum | xangua yes | 04:36 |
| neezer | pteague, I had that problem a while ago...I still have it with my 9.10 some times...I used vlc now to play movies...the only thing is you need to restart if you've seen the inverted colors...I don't know why, but that is how I fixed it. | 04:37 |

| Topy44 | bunch of spambots | 04:38 |
| k0rbis | lmao | 04:38 |
| Kavinorum | histo, yes but it skips the step where my computer lets me install it | 04:38 |
| alabd | what is-Karmic-pred ? | 04:38 |
| Misantropo | i configured a NAT bridge for my virtualbox machines, like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/HiXW91jJ I switched location and the connections to my virtualboxes is slow. The difference is i am usin wireless here and before i was using ethernet. | 04:38 |
| Linux000 | Hello? | 04:39 |
| Kavinorum | histo, it just explains how to run it after its already installed | 04:39 |
| pteague | hmm... is there a way during the install process to add an /etc/passwd & an /etc/group file so when it installs stuff it utilizes the correct uid/gid ? i'm having a hard time matching certain things for nfs | 04:39 |
| Linux000 | I have a problem with Virtual Box, I installed Ubuntu 10.04, and VBox guest additions, rebooted, logged in, and my pointer vanished, just like that, the point is still there(I can make shaded boxes on the desktop, click on things, etc.) but the pointer is gone, any ideas? | 04:39 |
| histo | Kavinorum: no he used the force option in the first post | 04:39 |
| k0rbis | ? | 04:39 |
| k0rbis | What happened? | 04:39 |
| histo | Linux000: /j #ubuntu+1 | 04:39 |
| histo | Linux000: sry nvm | 04:39 |
| histo | Linux000: what version of ubuntu did you install virtualbox on? | 04:40 |
| Linux000 | histo: stay here? | 04:40 |

| Linux000 | histo: I am running 9.10 in host, 10.04 in guest | 04:40 |
| Topy44 | there we go again | 04:40 |
| histo | What is that garbage? | 04:40 |
| dustin2000 | When I start up Ubuntu, I get this loud but short sound before the startup sound...... | 04:40 |
| histo | Linux000: hrm... how did you intall virtualbox? | 04:40 |
| faron | okay...so synaptic package mgr gives me a choice of "removal" or "complete removal"...which to choose ? anybody ? | 04:41 |
| movicont | histo: you can do it through synaptic or through VB's site | 04:41 |
| k0rbis | lol omg | 04:41 |
| Linux000 | histo: I downloaded the Package from http://www.virtualbox.org and install it through package manager, it has always worked with other Oses | 04:41 |
| dustin2000 | any ideas why I might be getting a loud buzz on startup before the startup sound? | 04:41 |
| movicont | faron: complete removal removes the config files as well | 04:41 |
| histo | movicont: I know how to install it i'm asking him which one he used. | 04:41 |
| clickme | hi | 04:41 |
| k0rbis | About time they are gone | 04:42 |
| movicont | histo: ahh, haha. sorry | 04:42 |
| k0rbis | Thank you | 04:42 |
| histo | Linux000: hrm. I would ask in #virtualbox someone there may know more | 04:42 |
| Linux000 | okay | 04:42 |
| wcj | hi | 04:42 |
| faron | does that mean if I decide to reinstall from synaptic someday that I won't be abl eto find it ? | 04:42 |
| wcj | hi all | 04:42 |
| histo | Linux000: whats goign on with guest additions is anyones guess. Sounds like its grabbing the mouse pointer | 04:42 |
| wcj | somebody talk to me? | 04:42 |
| xangua | !hi | wcj | 04:42 |
| ubottu | wcj: 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! | 04:42 |
| movicont | faron: no, you will be able to find it still | 04:42 |
| wcj | hi | 04:42 |
| histo | faron: no it just removes the local config files when you purge something | 04:42 |
| faron | thanks movicint | 04:43 |
| faron | thanks histo | 04:43 |
| movicont | no problem ;) | 04:43 |
| faron | much appreciated | 04:43 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | Is anyone familar with the Conexant CX20561 sound chip set? | 04:43 |
| Hebram | I am using X and the nvidia restricted driver on my laptop. I have configured nvidia-settings for dual monitors. Is there a utility/application that will automatically detect/hotplug the monitors in and out of dual head mode as needed? If not, is there a simple utility that does it quickly and easily, albeit manually? | 04:43 |
| Kavinorum | histo, thanks i didnt realize what he did, but it worked :) | 04:43 |
| histo | Kavinorum: np | 04:43 |
| k0rbis | Woot! Got Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction running latest | 04:44 |
| histo | Hebram: nvidia-settings | 04:44 |
| git__ | !lucid | 04:45 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 04:45 |
| histo | Hebram: but detecting displays is kind of tricky. some displays don't report properly | 04:45 |
| faron | another stupid question... WHY am I given 2 choices ?? anyone ? | 04:45 |
| histo | faron: two choices for what? | 04:45 |
| faron | why would anyone not completely remove something ? | 04:45 |
| faron | removal or complete removal | 04:46 |
| histo | faron: because if you want to keep your config on the machine and install it later | 04:46 |
| Adrian | i have a problem with the ubunto netbook remix launcher - nothing is clickable - it does not respond to mouse input, only keyboard works - any ideas on how to fix this? | 04:46 |
| histo | faron: all your settings will be there still. | 04:46 |
| mcurran | Anyone have any vuln IP's they'd like to share with me - I want to start my own zombie squad? | 04:46 |
| abhi_nav_ | should I assign a password to root account? because anyone can go into recovery mode and go to root acccount and do anything. what should i do? | 04:46 |
| faron | hmmmm ahhhhhhh I think I undersatnd now | 04:46 |
| histo | !ot | mcurran | 04:46 |
| ubottu | mcurran: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:46 |
| faron | that sounds cool | 04:46 |
| abhi_nav_ | mcurran: what is vuln? | 04:47 |
| mcurran | abhi_nav_ yes, use sudo passwd sudo | 04:47 |
| mcurran | vulnerable | 04:47 |
| clickme | hi everyone, looking for some help understanding the file structure of ubuntu | 04:47 |
| histo | faron: default is just remove but. | 04:47 |
| Hebram | histo: Can you elaborate. I have configured nvidia-settings for Twinview. However, when I undock or reboot in single monitor mode, the laptop still acts as if the monitor is attached. IE... I can move my cursor off the screen to where the monitor would be, my wallaper is still spanned, some apps launch to the non-existant monitor, etc. | 04:47 |
| mcurran | I mean sudo passwd root | 04:47 |
| k0rbis | omg i would not use that command.. | 04:47 |
| histo | Hebram: then you would use nvidia-settings to take it out of twinview | 04:47 |
| DEduc3d | @clickme - http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/20/explanation-of-the-ubuntu-linux-file-structure-ubuntu-all-versions/ | 04:48 |
| k0rbis | "sudo passwd username | 04:48 |
| k0rbis | I would use that | 04:48 |
| mcurran | I lost my nvidia 9800 GT and all I have left is a box with serial and whatever. Do you think I could get them to send me a new one? (lifetime warranty) | 04:48 |
| abhi_nav_ | mcurran: what sudo passwd sudo will do? if i assign pass to root acnt from system=admin=users and group, wll it be good? | 04:48 |
| mcurran | sudo passwd root I meant | 04:48 |
| Hebram | histo: That is what I am trying to avoid. I was hoping to get around manual reconfiguration of nvidia-settings everytime I go from dual to single head, and back again. | 04:48 |
| k0rbis | abhi_nav it changes the root password | 04:48 |
| mcurran | It'll change root password | 04:48 |
| k0rbis | You don't ever want to do that.. | 04:49 |
| histo | Hebram: you would just restart X and it should detect whatever displays are plugged in. | 04:49 |
| mcurran | why | 04:49 |
| k0rbis | Unless you know exactly what your doing | 04:49 |
| mcurran | k0rbis - WHY! | 04:49 |
| abhi_nav_ | k0rbis: & mcurran: ok. but is it ok to add pass from sys=admin=users and group | 04:49 |
| k0rbis | Because root is the strongest over everything on your system | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurran: thers no real need to set a root password. its more secure the way ubuntu does it. | 04:49 |
| mcurran | abhi_nav_ - Are u talkin' about editing root (sudo visudo) | 04:49 |
| abhi_nav_ | k0rbis: i want to do that because anyone can go to recovery mode and have full access to my pc | 04:49 |
| k0rbis | Just make a new account with administrator rights | 04:49 |
| k0rbis | Not everyone knows how to go to recovery mode ;-) | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | theres more to 'sudo' then the command you do to get root rights. :) it has other features to help keep things secuire | 04:50 |
| k0rbis | Exactly. | 04:50 |
| mcurran | Don't listen to korbis - there's no reason you shouldn't change root password as long as u want to - I always change root password to the same as my user password | 04:50 |
| k0rbis | The command "sudo" was created for a reason. | 04:50 |
| Hebram | histo: Thank you for your help. | 04:50 |
| abhi_nav_ | you are not getting my point. my prob is if someone switch on my pc, press esc, go to recovery mode, select root account, and then he wll have full control over my pc. how to stop this? | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | I think there are reasons to NOT have a root password. | 04:51 |
| k0rbis | Ok well whatever, not my fault if some roots your box | 04:51 |
| histo | Hebram: you can enable ctrl+alt+backspace and just hit that to restart X | 04:51 |
| mcurran | k0rbis - Yes and you'll still have to type the password every time you need to do something with super user privilege | 04:51 |
| histo | Hebram: its been disabled in more recent versions of ubuntu. | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav_: grub has a password feature to prevent them entering revoery mode | 04:51 |
| Callum__ | Is it possible to team NICs together in NetworkManager? | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav_: if they have physical access. you hav4e very limited secuity to begin with. | 04:51 |
| Hebram | histo: Awesome. I will go google how to configure that. | 04:51 |
| mcurran | I want to know how to change mint and ubuntu so that my user account is a super-user, so I don't even need to type password and so my gnome panel custom apps / scripts will actually do their jobs. | 04:52 |
| histo | abhi_nav_: its impossible to stop them. They could boot a live cd and mount the drive. | 04:52 |
| k0rbis | Ehh whatever, I just assign a huge password for root | 04:52 |
| histo | Hebram: hold up i'll get you link | 04:52 |
| k0rbis | and then use sudo command for everything else | 04:52 |
| clickme | hello | 04:52 |
| Hebram | histo: Much appreciated =) | 04:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | Dr_Willis: how to give grub pass? and how i have low security if someone have physical access to my pc? | 04:52 |
| k0rbis | You'll understand when you run Ubuntu Servers | 04:52 |
| mcurran | I'm running BT4 as root and made it an HD install and it's so much better not having to write in my goddamn password every ten seconds | 04:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | histo: then how to make it secure? | 04:52 |
| histo | Hebram: sudo apt-get install dontzap | 04:52 |
| === Stik_ is now known as Stik | ||
| abhi_nav_ | histo: Dr_Willis: mcurran: k0rbis: should i encrypt my whole 160gb hdd with truecrypt? | 04:53 |
| k0rbis | Whoa..write down your password? | 04:53 |
| histo | Hebram: then sudo dontzap --disable | 04:53 |
| k0rbis | *cough* LastPass *cough* | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav_: locking down a 'public' pc can be a bit of a challange. depends a lot on the details. | 04:53 |
| histo | Hebram: is the easy way but you don't have to isntallt he package to do it. | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav_: an encrypted users home is one set in the right directon at least | 04:53 |
| abhi_nav_ | Dr_Willis: hmm ok | 04:53 |
| mcurran | Dr_willis - People are way too paranoid. Who the hell would want to hack into your PC, it's a lot of work and usually if someone wants to get in and own your box they will. | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav_: even if you give a password for grub. they could still use a live cd.. | 04:54 |
| histo | abhi_nav_: you'd have to encrypt your drive and password you bios/ disable cd boot/ password grub etc... | 04:54 |
| k0rbis | Uhh I would advise people to encrypt hard drives if they are anal. But you don't have to if you never have anyone else insight of your machine | 04:54 |
| Hebram | histo: I'll give that a shot. | 04:54 |
| abhi_nav_ | mcurran: :) | 04:54 |
| adrian__ | hey hi people | 04:54 |
| adrian__ | a need some help i hope somebody can help me | 04:54 |
| k0rbis | I encrypt all 3 of my Ubuntu Servers | 04:54 |
| histo | abhi_nav_: even still that doesn't assure you. | 04:54 |
| abhi_nav_ | histo: how to disable cd boot? | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurran: whatever.. theres more to sudo then 'the command you use to get root access' - the root password arguemts has 1000+ pages on the forums. its not for argument here. | 04:54 |
| tuntun | I installed a .deb of zoneminder, but there isn't a item in the applications menu and 'zoneminder' in the terminal doesn't work. How do I run it? | 04:54 |
| Hebram | hist: apt doesn't find the package. Special repository? | 04:54 |
| adrian__ | y have this mother board asus p5e3 premium whith wifi Ap@n | 04:54 |
| adrian__ | and i cant make it work | 04:54 |
| blakkheim | tuntun: dpkg -S zoneminder | 04:55 |
| histo | Hebram: hrm.. hold up | 04:55 |
| abhi_nav_ | histo: Dr_Willis: mcurran: k0rbis: ok thnx | 04:55 |
| adrian__ | in kubuntu or ubnuntu | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tuntun: use the package manager and see what it installed. | 04:55 |
| mcurran | I'm so sick of hearing people say, NOOO! don't do that. When they don't know shit about hacking. Changing your root password is probably more secure, definately is, more secure than leaving it as default | 04:55 |
| adrian__ | somebody knows something about it | 04:55 |
| adrian__ | ? | 04:55 |
| Cappy | is there a version of ubuntu thats stripped to the bones by default? im looking for something that has the ease of use, without the bloat. | 04:55 |
| k0rbis | No problem, abhi_nav | 04:55 |
| blakkheim | !mini > Cappy | 04:55 |
| ubottu | Cappy, please see my private message | 04:55 |
| abhi_nav_ | :) | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Cappy: the ease of use is what IS the bloat normally | 04:55 |
| k0rbis | Glad to help out anyone else | 04:55 |
| te_ | mcurran: Your logic is flawed. | 04:55 |
| histo | Hebram: or right alt + print screen + k I guess works | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Cappy: theres minimal ubuntu variants out. but your definition of 'ease of use' may not be the same as mine. | 04:55 |
| dook | /part | 04:56 |
| k0rbis | te_ thats what I thought when he talked about setting up root passwords :/ | 04:56 |
| Hebram | histo: I'll try that. Will it kill my current windows? | 04:56 |
| adrian__ | can somebody help me whit my asus p5e3 wifi? | 04:56 |
| te_ | mcurran: But you are free to do what you want with your system. | 04:56 |
| histo | Hebram: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html | 04:56 |
| Cappy | i think im going to go back to Arch | 04:56 |
| histo | Hebram: yes it will take you back to login screen | 04:56 |
| k0rbis | Lol | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Cappy: go for it if you want. Have a nice day. | 04:56 |
| jzacsh | Cappy: I'd join you, but it fails to install on my IDE drives, for some reason :( | 04:56 |
| Hebram | histo: Perfect. Thanks for the link! | 04:57 |
| * abhi_nav_ is trying every distro in vm | 04:57 | |
| k0rbis | Arch Linux is okay.. | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | I got sick of arch. But theres alwyas the next disrto to try out | 04:57 |
| tuntun | Dr_Willis, its just zoneminder. | 04:57 |
| blankthemuffin | So I'm having some trouble with brasero. trying to burn a dvd video. get through all the options and hit burn to start burning, it crashes with "**ERROR: [brasero] Sample rate is greater than permitted in specified Level" I'm trying to burn a theora+vorbis encoded video at 2048 and64kbps respectively. any idea what I might have to transcode to in order to get this to work? | 04:57 |
| mcurran | We'll see how secure you are te_! | 04:57 |
| k0rbis | I still prefer BT4, Slackware, CentOS, Linux Mint, Super OS, and Ubuntu | 04:57 |
| Cappy | Dr_Willis, arch will run all my apps at the same time, ubuntu struggles to open more than 2 at a time | 04:57 |
| jzacsh | idk what I'd do without ubuntu -- easy for the family, which makes things easy on me :) | 04:57 |
| te_ | mcurran: There is really no difference, security wise... | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | blankthemuffin: i tend to use devede to generate a proper dvd video iso file. then i just burn that. I dident even realize that brasero could make a dvd video disk. | 04:57 |
| k0rbis | I just find it easier to install what I need using Ubuntu. | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Cappy: whatever. Not enoguh info to trouble shoot. So have fun. | 04:58 |
| ouyes | is there any taper recode tools? | 04:58 |
| jzacsh | Cappy: Ubuntu does come bloated. But if you know how to handle arch, I would imagine you know how to skim down Ubuntu's bloat, too right? | 04:58 |
| ouyes | i want to recode some voice | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jzacsh: yep. exactly my thinking on the topic also. | 04:58 |
| histo | Cappy: you can start with minimal and add packages that you want. | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | or just install a different window maanger and use it instead of gnome. | 04:59 |
| histo | Cappy: this is what I normally do since there is so much I don't need. | 04:59 |
| k0rbis | If they make it where you can customize the software at the beginning of Ubuntu installation, then it would be awesome. | 04:59 |
| Cappy | jzacsh, i've installed Ubuntu from the mini iso before, but it still doesnt compare to arch.. i dont know why, | 04:59 |
| te_ | mcurran: But if we have weak passwords, yes, it's kind of in-secure. But I'm behind a NAT firewall, so ... (and BTW, it is a Linux firewall). | 04:59 |
| histo | k0rbis: they have tasksel | 04:59 |
| k0rbis | Otherwise, I have to uninstall the stuff I don't want each time | 04:59 |
| jzacsh | Dr_Willis: Cappy a different window manager made a _huge_ difference on my ancient-tower (as I call it) - that's a good idea | 04:59 |
| k0rbis | What exactly is tasksel? | 04:59 |
| histo | k0rbis: and you can make a package list of your current install | 04:59 |
| tuntun | blakkheim, dpkg -S zoneminder, I guess it is showing the related files but I don't see anything to run | 04:59 |
| k0rbis | Really.. | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | tuntun: anything in a bin or sbin dir :) | 04:59 |
| histo | k0rbis: yes | 04:59 |
| k0rbis | So you saying I can create my own live cd? | 05:00 |
| Hebram | histo: <right alt><print screen><k> was very effective -) | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !remaster | k0rbis | 05:00 |
| ubottu | k0rbis: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 05:00 |
| herbero | Hi, I cannot get my functional (md5sum and also successfully run) ubuntu livecd to boot with my comp | 05:00 |
| herbero | I enabled it's boot priority in BIOS | 05:00 |
| k0rbis | Woot! | 05:00 |
| k0rbis | I'm on it | 05:00 |
| herbero | but nothing happens | 05:00 |
| k0rbis | ;-) | 05:00 |
| jzacsh | Cappy: I agree, but its preference, you have to remember that Ubuntu is made for a _huge_ _huge_ platform of people -- which is something to be _appreciated_ about it. so if you can use it (eg, as I do -- passing aroudn to the family -- so make my home network more secure), then go ahead :) | 05:00 |
| herbero | stagnates on verifying DMI pool data | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | k0rbis: some other disrtros have better 'tools' for that. some let you do it on their customizer web sites.. which is a neat feature. | 05:00 |
| herbero | anyone know why this would happen/how to fix it? | 05:00 |
| k0rbis | Any ideas for Live CD? | 05:00 |
| histo | Hebram: yeah or that link will show you how to re enable ctrl + alt + backspace its in keyboard settings | 05:00 |
| abhi_nav_ | I am upgrading grub2. so want to know your experince with it. is it fine to upgrade? I am using 9.041? | 05:00 |
| Cappy | what about just ditching gnome-desktop for vanilla gnome? | 05:00 |
| k0rbis | I'll be glad to help make one for requests | 05:00 |
| histo | k0rbis: what make your own live cd? | 05:00 |
| abhi_nav_ | 9.04 | 05:01 |
| k0rbis | Yes sir | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | k0rbis: if i want a customuized live cd. i tend to use TinyCoreLinux | 05:01 |
| Kavinorum | anyone know why my screen goes dark in like 5-10 mins when in Power Management its set for 30 mins? | 05:01 |
| k0rbis | Alright | 05:01 |
| histo | k0rbis: there are tons of tutorials on the net | 05:01 |
| ouyes | anyone know the tools for voice record? | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | k0rbis: if you are trying to find a reason to make one.. well then you dont really need one right now. heh:) | 05:01 |
| histo | k0rbis: for making yoru own ubuntu based distro | 05:01 |
| k0rbis | True.. | 05:01 |
| jzacsh | Cappy: I've never looked at vanilla gnome (nor heard of it), but I can tell you that fluxbox made things fly on my old tower. you can also try the classic fvwm (i think.. that's the acronym?)... or you can try DWM (that's my next move). | 05:01 |
| k0rbis | But would be a fun project eh? | 05:01 |
| Hebram | Kavinorum: It is possible that BIOS setting are trumping your power management software settings. | 05:02 |
| tuntun | Dr_Willis, nothing in a bin dir | 05:02 |
| nertil | were does ubuntu installs g6wc | 05:02 |
| Cappy | jzacsh, by "vanilla" i just mean 'gnome' without the ubuntu customizations | 05:02 |
| histo | k0rbis: yea you can make your own distro tailored to what you use. | 05:02 |
| k0rbis | Alright I'll do some research on making ubuntu distros | 05:02 |
| petsounds | Kavinorum, or check screensaver settings :) | 05:02 |
| croco | ƀ | 05:03 |
| Kavinorum | ah ok | 05:03 |
| herbero | anybody? | 05:03 |
| jzacsh | Cappy: ahh-- gotcha. I can't imagine it'll make _that_ big a difference. it also might make things funky in ubuntu (as I"m sure many of the customizations are for a good reason). | 05:03 |
| histo | k0rbis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 05:03 |
| tuntun | Dr_Willis, search for 'zoneminder bin' returns nothing. How can an install be so bad? | 05:03 |
| abhi_nav_ | I am upgrading grub2. so want to know your experince with it. is it fine to upgrade? I am using 9.04? | 05:03 |
| Topy44 | VERY stupid question, but... is there an alternative way to type a pipe symbol "|" on a commandline? my fucked up keyboard layout only produces that "other" pipe, the one that looks nearly like : | 05:03 |
| k0rbis | Thanks | 05:03 |
| puser | Hi, I've changed the line hight on the virtual desktops applet, located on the Gnome task bar. I guess, I made it too big, It disappeared, after I saved the change. I don't know how to get the applet back. Can anybody help, please. Thanx | 05:03 |
| Kavinorum | hmm well why does it consider me to be idle when a video is playing? | 05:03 |
| te_ | Topy44: copy and paste | 05:03 |
| herbero | how do you make a livecd work? I already enabled its boot priority | 05:04 |
| herbero | but stuck on verifying DMI pool data | 05:04 |
| Topy44 | te_: no x running | 05:04 |
| herbero | I have used this disk on this comp before | 05:04 |
| puser | I have version 9.04 | 05:04 |
| petsounds | Kavinorum, maybe because there's no keyboard or mouse activity | 05:04 |
| herbero | anyone got any ideas | 05:04 |
| tuntun | Why is this so hard for no reason? | 05:04 |
| te_ | herbero: Many systems require F12 | 05:04 |
| herbero | te_: did delete and F12 | 05:04 |

| k0rbis | @histo Kudos ;-) | 05:05 |
| blankthemuffin | oh cool thanks Dr_Willis, never realised DeVeDe would do anything other than just rip dvds | 05:06 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | herbero: I am on kubuntu and don't use pulseaudio | 05:06 |
| herbero | te_: yeah I used it three days ago | 05:06 |
| te_ | !sound | CPrgmSwR2 | 05:06 |
| ubottu | CPrgmSwR2: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:06 |

| blankthemuffin | Dr_Willis, mmm I dunno anymore, I've installed that many video related apps :P | 05:09 |
| k0rbis | @wweasel Actually that is a good question, I think it refreshes every restart | 05:09 |
| te_ | CPrgmSwR2: Are you getting any sort of error message when you try to play audio files? | 05:09 |
| puser | maybe somebody knows of a specific ubuntu gnome chatroom? | 05:10 |
| Hebram | puser: Right click a gnome panel, choose "add to panel", and add the Workspace Switcher. | 05:10 |
| k0rbis | @wweasel I could be wrong though | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | blankthemuffin: for video -> dvd format. I tend to alwyas use devede. Not even sure what apps can generate a dvd iso from videos with a menu. | 05:10 |

| zetheroo | why is it that some bug fixes take forever to be implemented into the Ubuntu kernel? | 05:36 |
| benchen70 | Sorry guys, just testing out IRC. More used to MSN | 05:36 |

| icoder | i just noticed.. there is no mention of the word "linux" on the homepage of ubuntu.. why is that??? | 05:37 |
| zetheroo | it's been almost a year since this bug was fixed in launchpad and still it has not been implemented in the official kernel | 05:37 |
| claws | Hebram: so its hopeless? :( | 05:38 |
| te_ | nullp0inter: Would have to see the what you have, pastebinit /etc/fstab | 05:38 |
| zetheroo | is there THAT much backlog? | 05:38 |
| nullp0inter | Dr_Willis, example? | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | nullp0inter: mount basics.. ---> sudo mount /media/mountpoint | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | 05:38 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 05:38 |

| fuxximus | thanx te_ | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | nullp0inter: you made the fstab entry.. where did you tell it to mount to? | 05:40 |

| theadmin | Didn't fluxbuntu stop being developed? | 05:43 |
| spydefender | Numlock works fine, but when I start Ubuntu, LED is off and I need hit it everytime | 05:43 |
| bdiggs | Might have beeen....it's definitely kind of "on hold" but you can still download some legacy versions and their website claims to be "coming soon" I think | 05:44 |
| te_ | nullp0inter: Start over. What exactly are you trying to do? | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: i think so. or was that crunchbang | 05:44 |
| Hebram | claws: Try downloading the 9.04 live CD and testing performance from that. It could save you the trouble of committing to a downgraded OS install if it does not work. | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: or both. :) | 05:44 |
| nullp0inter | te_ windows 7 share with ubuntu 8.04 | 05:44 |

| adarsha | Dr_Willis: all the buttons are disabled! :( | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Scarra3: you can always install xubuntu desktop on iubuntu of visa versa.. so its not a big deal | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: not here. Perhaps yoyu need to run it as your admin users account | 05:59 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: how do i do that?? | 05:59 |
| Scarra3 | I know Dr_Willis: Its more of I keep changing my OS I install ubuntu then get bored so move to a different distro like fedora or slackware | 05:59 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: ubuntu doesn't allow me to login as root. | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: login as your admin user perhaps. Its not disabled here.. but i only have the 1 user. who is the sudo user. | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: you DONT login as root. thats not the same as your 'admin/sudo enabled' user. | 06:00 |
| abhi_nav | :( | 06:00 |

| Dr_Willis | freeaks: yes its possible | 06:01 |
| blakkheim | slackware isn't that much trouble | 06:01 |
| Scarra3 | Well Hebram it really wasn't stable lol | 06:01 |
| freeaks | like for example if i want to test lubuntu (lxde) i do: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop .. but i would like to remove all the gnome and kde stuffs too | 06:01 |
| freeaks | Dr_Willis: how can i do that? | 06:02 |
| friendishan | when i start evolution the computer hangs and i have to remove the plug to close it, i waited for 20 mins | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | freeaks: lubuntu i found goofed thigns up worse then most. lubuntu-desktop package removed network manager and installed wicd. so that may be an issue | 06:02 |
| xangua | freeaks: installing is easy, but removing........ | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | freeaks: i just tend to install and leave them installed. | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Lubuntu is so lacking in many ways - i cant stand it | 06:02 |
| Hebram | Scarra3: Isn't stability the bastion of the Slackware philosophy? lol | 06:03 |

| latino | hello | 06:12 |
| latino | can any1 help me with video drivers | 06:12 |
| adarsha | well, can anyone tell me how to enable root login? i'm curious.. | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont have an Unlock button on my Network settings either | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: just set a root user password | 06:12 |
| theadmin | Guess i still remember the interpid days lol | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: and poof its unlocked. | 06:13 |
| Ritlee | adarsha, don | 06:13 |
| mihir | while installing software from synaptic package manager there is third party software which is not authenticated by ubuntu is it safe to download that software and install it | 06:13 |
| Ritlee | adarsha, don't really recommending it... use sudo instead | 06:13 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: i have a root password as well... | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: then it is unlocked.. | 06:13 |
| theadmin | mihir: It usually is, just no imported GPG key | 06:13 |
| Ritlee | damn one mgiht think english isn't my first language | 06:13 |
| abhi_nav | mihir: normally no. but which is that software? | 06:13 |
| te_ | latino: What is your question? | 06:14 |
| adarsha | Ritlee: yeah, i know that, but i'm curious, and i also have prob with vpn. | 06:14 |
| mr-grey2 | It seems that my audio device is properly installed but for some reasion the audio still comes out from the speakers once the headphones are plugged into the jack on the laptop | 06:14 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: but it isn't! | 06:14 |
| adarsha | :( | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: clarify what you mean. | 06:14 |
| mr-grey2 | almost as if ubuntu does not detect the headphone jack is in use | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: go to the console. see if you can login as root, as the user.. if you can.. its unlocked | 06:14 |
| brjann | herbero: yes, that would be fine. but you *can* RAID 1 your /boot partition too, so long as your MBR is installed to an actual device. i feel like i'm not being very clear! sorry :( | 06:15 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: i used sudo passwd root to set root password. | 06:15 |
| latino | te_: gateway laptop with latest ubuntu and video is off... need help installing drivers | 06:15 |
| adarsha | root login works in console. even su works! | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: then you can directly login as root at the console... | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: so.. its not locked then | 06:15 |
| Curly_Q | I did an SSH 192.168.0.~ login but when I tried to access a file I got the message: /usr/share/apache2/default-site/index.html access denied. Why cannot I access the index.html file? I also did sudo access. | 06:15 |
| mihir | like i have taken screenshot of software PDFedit and with it some other software do you want to see | 06:16 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: yeah, but vpn connections are locked. i'm not able to edit them! | 06:16 |
| brjann | herbero: okay, it's like this. since it's software raid, it needs a driver loaded before it can actually read the raid partitions, right? | 06:16 |
| herbero | brjann: ya | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: i dont see how thats related. Unless your setting root password Broke somthing. I dont haver mine set.. and i can change them with my initial user. | 06:17 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: can i fix it? | 06:17 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: Same on my comp, strangeness | 06:17 |
| evan0116 | so i unplugged my floppy drive to make room for internal dvd, but icon for floppy still shows up in ubuntu, how can i delete this? | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: no idea why its broke so cant tell. | 06:17 |
| adarsha | Dr_Willis: ok. | 06:17 |
| brjann | herbero: so before that driver is loaded, you just have a system with two separate drives in it. the BIOS will try and boot off just one of those drives; it doesn't know anything about raid. | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | evan0116: disable it in the bios and in /etc/fstab perhaps | 06:18 |
| abhi_nav | mihir: its generally the gpg key probem. you have to add that key to authenticate | 06:18 |
| herbero | brjann: basically I need a sda1 partition with /boot that is used as an ext3 system not a RAID device, so that it actually loads? | 06:18 |
| mihir | what is gpg key | 06:19 |
| abhi_nav | !gpg | 06:19 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 06:19 |
| evan0116 | Dr_Willis: i dont have that folder, and it is already not in my bios. didnt delete it just not there | 06:19 |
| brjann | herbero: no -- the MBR and the first primary partition is separate. that's the distinction i'm trying to make :) | 06:19 |
| brjann | herbero: i wish i could draw you a picture! | 06:19 |
| abhi_nav | mihir: it is used to make sure that particular software or ppa or email is came from the trusted, knows, sender. | 06:19 |
| herbero | brjann: I suspected that is what you were getting at, but how do I add /boot if there is no partition? | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | evan0116: /etc/fstab is a file that lists all devices - there may be anentry in it for the floppy | 06:19 |
| evan0116 | oh so i open it with gedit then? i thought it was a folder, sry | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | evan0116 | 06:20 |
| ubottu | evan0116: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:20 |

| Curly_Q | Would it be that with ssh that the type of encryption is crucial with let's say twofish or blowfish and if the ssh server allows acces what is the problem? | 06:20 |
| brjann | herbero: grub and initrd -> MBR of /dev/sda. /boot = /dev/md1 = array of /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1. /root = /dev/md2 = array of /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2. | 06:21 |
| inja | does any one know how to enable the numlock? | 06:21 |
| te_ | inja: Bios setting | 06:22 |
| mihir | i am installing it from synaptic package manager and with each software it requires some dependent files which are not authenticated without installing that files software doesn´t work. | 06:22 |
| evan0116 | Dr_Willis: this is in the bottom of the file. do i just delete the last line? /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 06:22 |
| evan0116 | /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 06:22 |
| herbero | brjann: okay, but I am at a partition editor from install disk...so I can change /boot and grub to recognize the RAID setup after the fact | 06:22 |
| inja | you have to go to bios to unlock the numlock | 06:22 |
| herbero | brjann: right? | 06:22 |
| te_ | !numlock | inja | 06:22 |
| ubottu | inja: To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock | 06:22 |
| Curly_Q | Inja, in the CMOS setup just boot then whether it is DEL command or whatever F2 enable it. Or disable it. | 06:22 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: are you trying to say your ssh isn't working? | 06:24 |
| mihir | can virus corrupt ubuntu operating system like windows | 06:24 |
| brjann | herbero: if /boot is raided, grub must be set up with an initrd that understands raid or the system will not boot properly. if /boot is not raided, you don't need the initrd, and the kernel will be able to see the other raided partitions just fine. | 06:24 |
| tingi | i've 3 ftp clients ( 2 packages, 1 custom written), i need to find out when transferring 3 GB video files which one takes least load on CPU and is suggested for other applications to run smoothly. How do i test this ? | 06:25 |
| bazhang | mihir, no | 06:25 |
| Curly_Q | Losha it works but I get the access denied when trying to edit the index.html file. | 06:25 |
| Dracoslayer16 | All the instructions I find for Ubuntu are lines of code, where do I enter code in Ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| Ritlee | Dracoslayer16, in the console | 06:25 |
| mihir | i am installing it from synaptic package manager and with each software it requires some dependent files which are not authenticated without installing that files software doesn´t work. | 06:26 |
| Curly_Q | Even when trying to enter the directory, I cannot get in. | 06:26 |
| Ritlee | Dracoslayer16, select applications / accessories / terminal | 06:26 |
| herbero | brjann: gotcha, so the actively synced RAID seems easier to me to have /boot off of the RAID that way I don't have to configure and if RAID or hd goes down then I still have /boot | 06:26 |

| racerd | what is the latest nvidia driver version? | 06:27 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: that's usually a separate permissions problem. What user are you logging in as? | 06:27 |
| Curly_Q | I am using SSH from A Windows Box, in which that doesn't mean anything at this point because I have done this before with much ease. It is that Ubuntu or the latest ssh may not work but I see no reason for that because if I have passage into the box, then it is not the ssh client or server but the permissions. | 06:27 |
| racerd | is it 185 or 190? | 06:27 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: what username do you supply on the windows box? | 06:28 |
| abhi_nav | mihir: linux is much much safer from virus compared to win | 06:28 |
| Curly_Q | Losha I use the only one account for that box. | 06:28 |
| Dracoslayer16 | Thanks Ritlee | 06:28 |
| Curly_Q | I did a sudo as well. | 06:28 |
| brjann | herbero: yes, i agree it's easier to deal with if /boot is not RAID :) (certainly easier to explain!) however, it can be done, and when done properly means that you can lose a drive and still boot the system | 06:28 |
| Ritlee | Dracoslayer16, np | 06:28 |
| abhi_nav | mihir: for your info: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:29 |
| Curly_Q | If I am in the box, that means I did something right. | 06:29 |
| Curly_Q | I am trying to get into the directory of: /usr/share/apache2/default-site/index.html | 06:30 |
| evan0116 | what happens if i delete a line in /etc/fstab | 06:30 |
| brjann | herbero: but you could get (almost) the same reliability by simply using the USB Startup Disk Creator in System > Administration once you've got the system up and running, then locking that USB key in your desk for emergency use :) | 06:31 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: If you are in the box, it means ssh is working. If you can't cd to a directory, or edit a file, it means the directory/file do not have execute/write permissions for that user. You may be able to fix that by running 'sudo chmod ugo+rwx <directory>' | 06:31 |
| Curly_Q | Losha thanks for that tip. I didn't know that it was that mission critical. I will try it. | 06:32 |
| herbero | brjann: interesting, so I could make an emergency /boot on a usb key? cool. I may try that, should I also scatter swap across the disks or keep it all on one? | 06:33 |
| Losha | evan0116: depends which line. Worst case, if you remove the root line you won't be able to boot. Make a backup of your fstab file before you go changing stuff... | 06:33 |
| evan0116 | Losha: how do i make a backup? what command? | 06:33 |
| Losha | evan0116: something like: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. if you dont know how to copy a file via cp in the terminal.. You might NOT want tobe messing with fstab untill you read a bash tutorial or 2 | 06:34 |
| Curly_Q | Losha can I do these command within the ssh session? | 06:34 |
| evan0116 | then if something bad happens how to i restore the backup? | 06:34 |
| Curly_Q | commands | 06:34 |
| Losha | evan0116: I agree with Dr_Willis. You sound a bit out of your depth... | 06:34 |
| brjann | herbero: RAID 1 swap is overkill; RAID 0 swap means a disk failure would bring your system down. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | evan0116: with the cp command | 06:34 |
| evan0116 | Dr_Willis: so it would be like sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab | 06:35 |
| brjann | herbero: so the short answer is, no, you don't need to RAID your swap partition :) | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | evan0116: yes. It pays to learn a few bash basics however. | 06:35 |
| fuxximus | i got a problem | 06:36 |
| herbero | brjann: cool, thanks | 06:36 |
| * abhi_nav successfully installed grub2!!! :) | 06:36 | |
| evan0116 | Dr_Willis: k i will do that | 06:36 |
| Curly_Q | Greets to Dr Willis. It is nice to see you again. | 06:36 |
| Losha | evan0116: something like: sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab. But you might need to run the live cd and mount the disk to do that... | 06:36 |
| fuxximus | i have only 1 user, and "is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." | 06:36 |

| brjann | herbero: sure thing. sorry for my confusing explanations | 06:36 |
| fuxximus | help | 06:37 |
| evan0116 | Dr_Willis: i am comfortable with apt-get and some stuff like that, but... ya. i'll find a tutorial | 06:37 |
| Curly_Q | Losha by the way, thanks for that information. | 06:37 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: I hope it helps... | 06:37 |
| Curly_Q | It did. | 06:37 |
| abhi_nav | fuxximus: only one user means most probably it wll be administrator? then you can go to system=admin=users and gruops and add yourself to sudors group | 06:37 |
| Curly_Q | It opened up a lot of thoughts. | 06:37 |

Some do it out of conceit and some do it out of being puffed about themselves but the majority do it out of kindness. I say with all sincerity, bravo for all of those who work hard and give of themselves. | 06:39 |

| fuxximus | abhi_nav: i don't have the permission | 06:40 |
| fuxximus | abhi_nav: to change anything in there | 06:40 |
| Losha | evan0116: ok, in that case, it's ok to comment out the line for the floppy... | 06:40 |
| evan0116 | Losha: comment out meaning put a # in front of the line, correct? | 06:41 |
| te_ | evan0116: That is up to you, just sharing a bit of info, that's all. I prefer vim and one reason is that you do not need a GUI to use it. | 06:41 |
| hg2 | i get the following message when using sound recorder or skype: Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings. don't know where media settings are. | 06:41 |
| Losha | ngabriel: there's no rsync bug. It's usually because you gave it the wrong arguments. Can you tell us your command line? | 06:41 |
| brjann | Curly_Q: that's very nice of you to say :) | 06:41 |

| Curly_Q | Losha I have had that problem a few years back with Red Hat. I was refused permissions even as root. I had the hardest time trying to figure out why that was so. A computer Linux expert said to me that because even though you are root, you are restricted in your behavior as root and that was a security measure. | 06:47 |

I tried a method I read on a fourm about adjusting the alsamixer from the terminal, rebooting with headphones plugged in but ubuntu is not catching or detecting that the jack is in use and continues to play the sound from speakers as well as headphones | 06:54 |
| mcurran | sound is always picky in most distros | 06:54 |
| mr-grey2 | I'm loving linux, i'm just extremly new and do not now my way around it yet. | 06:54 |
| mcurran | go to system sound gui and play around with different drivers | 06:55 |
| mr-grey2 | know | 06:55 |
| mcurran | alsa , pulseaudio , etc. | 06:55 |
| kevbo | what I'm mainly having trouble with is the fact that I need to execute "git clone http://....../b43-tools.git" , but I don't have internet and when I put the url in windows it comes up as a folder | 06:56 |
| brjann | mr-grey2: laptop doesn't happen to be a lenovo, does it? | 06:56 |
| Curly_Q | Tracert is a universal command. | 06:56 |
| mr-grey2 | i didnt see alsa pulseaudio etc in the gui but i messed with all the other settings in the settings gui | 06:57 |
| kevbo | is there a way to download the git file onto windows and then installing it on ubuntu? | 06:57 |
| mr-grey2 | nah it's an HP nc6230 I saw the bug for that on a fourm | 06:57 |
| abhi_nav | is there is hacking channel? | 06:57 |
| Curly_Q | You can try traceroute | 06:58 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q mcurran: ok thnx | 06:58 |
| bazhang | abhi_nav, no unless you mean hacking the kernel | 06:58 |
| te_ | abhi_nav: This is it. | 06:58 |
| theadmin | Is there any difference between "init 0", "shutdown -h now" and "halt"? | 06:59 |
| te_ | abhi_nav: /join #linux | 06:59 |
| te_ | theadmin: Yes | 06:59 |
| theadmin | te_ What is it | 06:59 |
| Curly_Q | Why do you need to a tracert Abhl? | 06:59 |
| abhi_nav | Cutly_Q actually I want to know the ip and location of a specific user of hi5.com - not the ip and location of hi5.com | 07:00 |
| te_ | theadmin: Just try it and see. | 07:00 |
| kevbo | how do I download a git file from the net in windows? apparently I need b43-tools.git before I can get internet working in ubuntu.. | 07:00 |
| theadmin | te_ All 3 shut the system down for me :D | 07:01 |
| airtonix | kevbo, there is a portable git package for windows | 07:01 |
| === 20QAADG3K is now known as Hix-nix | ||
| researcher1 | How can we see page full listing of files with "ls" command? | 07:01 |
| Curly_Q | Well, using a PING or tracert or traceroute checks the HOPS of the destination protocol. | 07:01 |
| airtonix | kevbo, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/678085/how-to-run-git-1-6-x-for-windows-from-a-usb-memory-stick | 07:02 |
| te_ | researcher1: ls -l | 07:02 |
| kevbo | !! thanks! | 07:02 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | researcher1, if you mean "a page at a time" you can pipe to more or less, like "ls | less" | 07:02 |
| researcher1 | thanks kevbo | 07:02 |
| === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut | ||
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q: you know any better way to get ip and location? | 07:02 |
| researcher1 | thanks te_ | 07:02 |
| Curly_Q | It also tells you if the IP address is on the internet. | 07:02 |
| airtonix | kevbo, also : offtopic (although i realise #windows isn't a support channel compared to this one) | 07:02 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q: hmm | 07:02 |
| te_ | abhi_nav: Is it on your lan? | 07:02 |
| abhi_nav | te_no no on lan. on the internet | 07:03 |
| te_ | abhi_nav: nmap -p22 192.168.1.0/24 | 07:03 |
| mr-grey2 | hehe i go to mono anolog and it mutes everything :) | 07:03 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "package linux-doc: Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.31. -- package linux-source-2.6.31: Linux kernel source for version 2.6.31 with Ubuntu patches." So is linux-source-2.6.31 a superset of linux-doc and I can delete linux-doc if I have linux-source-2.6.31 installed? | 07:03 |
| abhi_nav | te_ if you mean lan by same isp then yes he has same isp | 07:03 |
| brjann | theadmin: if not called with the --force option, halt simply invokes shutdown. init 0 doesn't necessarily *have* to halt the system; it just runs the scripts that are assigned to runlevel 0. | 07:03 |
| kevbo | researcher1 are you a member of a forum with the initials hfc? | 07:03 |
| te_ | abhi_nav: by LAN I mean Local Area Network. | 07:04 |
| Curly_Q | Abhl, that is a sticky topic. NMAP is a good tool but I don't like to discuss that here because, it borderlines stalking. | 07:04 |
| Guest77419 | Hi all | 07:04 |
| theadmin | brjann: And the "shutdown -h"?\ | 07:04 |
| === Guest77419 is now known as Rishi1 | ||
| Rishi1 | Hi all | 07:04 |
| abhi_nav | te_ ok | 07:05 |
| mr-grey2 | I know you all are busy but how do i access the audio drivers like alsamixer and pulsaudio | 07:05 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q: can you point me to some guides or howtos etc etc | 07:05 |
| gods | how do i connect my scanned to the desktop | 07:05 |
| Curly_Q | What is your ultimate goal in knowing this Abhl? | 07:05 |
| te_ | mr-grey2: The kernel accesses the driver modules for you. | 07:06 |
| brjann | theadmin: shutdown is basically a wrapper around init 0 that adds nice things like time delays, reboot, login disabling, etc | 07:06 |
| theadmin | brjann: I see | 07:06 |
| te_ | theadmin: see: man shutdown | 07:06 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q as I said I want to know the ip and location of one specific user. He has done some suspicious activity(its long story) | 07:06 |
| Rishi1 | Can somebody tell me how to see the other users display connected to same machine... | 07:06 |
| Rishi1 | I have 5 users running on thin clients and one server.. | 07:06 |
| Rishi1 | W command shows me the user names and their tty eg. tty14 tty19.. How can I watch their desktops in this scenario | 07:06 |
| Rishi1 | Thnx in advance | 07:06 |
| FloodBot3 | Rishi1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:07 |
| te_ | theadmin: see: man halt | 07:07 |
| kevbo | I'm sorry.. maybe I messed up when I typed this. what I'm trying to do is download a git file on windows so I can transfer it to ubuntu, because ubuntu had no internet | 07:07 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q and only the thing I have is www.hi5.com/friend/(here the name of hte user) | 07:07 |
| theadmin | te_: Will take a look when i go back to Ubuntu | 07:07 |
| te_ | Rishi1: who | 07:07 |
| airtonix | kevbo, did you see the link i posted ? | 07:07 |
| Rishi1 | hi te_ | 07:07 |
| kevbo | yeah | 07:07 |
| mr-grey2 | I tried running pulseaudio and thats already in use it says.. I was able to run the alsamixer in terminal and attempt to adjust the bar levels in hopes to eliminate the problem but with no luck | 07:07 |
| airtonix | kevbo, so did you download mysgit ? | 07:07 |
| bjj_blue | Hi! I'm trying to auto-start a java .jar application using the command "java -jar /path/to/file.jar", but I'd like it to start minimized. Is there a way to do this? | 07:07 |
| gods | can some one help me to connect my scanner to the desktop | 07:07 |
| Curly_Q | I cannot help you Abhi because I would be complicitous in your wanting to either get even with that person or just being angry with that person.j | 07:07 |
| airtonix | kevbo, http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list | 07:08 |
| bjj_blue | starting it below other apps is also fine | 07:08 |
| FireCrotch | Rishi1: assuming that you're root, you can use x11vnc | 07:08 |
| kevbo | maybe I'm missing something lol i thought that was for running the git files in windows | 07:08 |
| theadmin | bjj_blue: If it has some CLI arguments, yes, but otherwise, no | 07:08 |
| airtonix | kevbo, you dont 'run' git files | 07:08 |
| kevbo | sorry | 07:08 |
| claws | is it possible for me to mount a iso file ? | 07:08 |
| bjj_blue | theadmin: no workaround if there are no CLI arguments? Also, I assume CLI arguments would be in the manpage, right? | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | !iso | claws | 07:08 |
| ubottu | claws: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:09 |
| theadmin | bjj_blue: If it has one, then yes. | 07:09 |
| airtonix | kevbo, the terminology you want there is that : you access 'git' repositories | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q: wll help me after I pay your? | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | you* | 07:09 |
| Rishi1 | FireCrotch: but how do I specify the display in it ? | 07:09 |
| bazhang | abhi_nav, what are you trying to do | 07:09 |
| bjj_blue | theadmin: do you think something like alltray woudl work? | 07:09 |
| kevbo | well i don't need to access it from windows.. maybe I'm still confused | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | bazhang I want to know the ip and location of one specific user. He has done some suspicious activity(its long story) | 07:09 |
| Moat | how do i run perl scripts? | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | bazhang: on hi5.com | 07:10 |
| FireCrotch | Rishi1: x11vnc -d :0 (where :0 is their X display number | 07:10 |
| claws | ZykoticK9 : thank u :) | 07:10 |
| airtonix | kevbo, i refer you to your intial message : <kevbo> how do I download a git file from the net in windows? apparently I need b43-tools.git before I can get internet working in ubuntu.. | 07:10 |
| kevbo | so confused | 07:10 |
| theadmin | bjj_blue: What on earth is alltray | 07:10 |
| bazhang | abhi_nav, hack his account? abhi_nav that is not supported here, nor on freenode. Please stop asking for assistance with it | 07:10 |
| FireCrotch | Rishi1: Then you have to use a vnc viewer to view the vnc display | 07:10 |
| bjj_blue | theadmin: i'm not exactly sure... i keep hearing people mention it as a possible workaround. it apparently confines apps to the systray, or something. I just wondered if you'd heard of it | 07:10 |
| abhi_nav | Curly_Q: i konw going on WAR after knowin the info. I just want that person. I have doubt on three persons | 07:10 |
| bjj_blue | theadmin: in any case, thanks for the help | 07:10 |
| abhi_nav | bazhang: i dont want to hack. i want to know ip ony | 07:11 |
| bazhang | abhi_nav, please stop NOW | 07:11 |
| airtonix | kevbo, to access a 'git' repository in windows you need a 'git' client. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list << is the easiest method of getting a git client on windows so you can access a git repository and download files from it | 07:11 |
| abhi_nav | bazhang: ok :( | 07:11 |
| mr-grey2 | woo this os is a mind workout i'm tellin u | 07:11 |
| airtonix | mr-grey2, blah blah freedom blah blah responsibility | 07:12 |
| kevbo | ok.. I may be wrong. I'm trying to install drivers. the website for what I'm following is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp | 07:12 |
| airtonix | kevbo, maybe you should try going the ndiswrapper first so you have wifi working ? | 07:13 |
| mr-grey2 | lol airtonix I like it though... keeps me thinking | 07:13 |
| airtonix | kevbo, a game of tetris a day keeps the psychologist away | 07:13 |
| airtonix | ... | 07:13 |
| kevbo | well.. I will admit that may be right, but I have the broadcom 4312 rev 01 which many seen to be having a lot of trouble with | 07:14 |
| kevbo | and people have said that is the easiest fix? | 07:15 |
| airtonix | kevbo, i have that one too. mine doubles as a bluetooth device too. | 07:15 |
| kevbo | and I an a psychologist :p so its kind of moot | 07:15 |
| Curly_Q | Bazhang thanks. :) | 07:15 |
| bazhang | Curly_Q, :) | 07:15 |
| airtonix | kevbo, the b43 driver didn't work for me though... only ndis wrapper method worked for me. | 07:15 |
| airtonix | kevbo, is it a laptop/netbook or dekstop machine ? | 07:16 |
| chai1 | anyone want to try out "share my desktop" if you have empathy | 07:16 |
| chai1 | i will share | 07:17 |
| Curly_Q | What amazes me Bazhang is that there are approximately 1315 members on this channel. To see comments that are blatent are outrageous. | 07:17 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "package linux-doc: Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.31. -- package linux-source-2.6.31: Linux kernel source for version 2.6.31 with Ubuntu patches." So does linux-source-2.6.31 contain a superset of linux-doc? Can I delete linux-doc if I have linux-source-2.6.31 installed? | 07:17 |
| kevbo | laptop | 07:18 |
| kevbo | it is the x64 version as well | 07:18 |
| airtonix | kevbo, you should head over to the laptop manufacturers website and grab the windows drivers for the wifi card then. | 07:18 |
| crackguy | could somebody give me a source to learn about dns for newbies | 07:19 |
| theadmin | crackguy: I might be of some help, what exactly do you want to know? | 07:19 |
| distatica | kevbo: I've got the same card on a Lenovo s10e, just installed, no wireless. I'm actually wondering if there is a way to enable restricted drivers from command line, since I don't have gnome intalled. | 07:19 |
| airtonix | kevbo, but back to your initial question... have you actually done the git clone step of that page you linked to me ? | 07:19 |
| distatica | This was working fine in ubuntu netbook remix, which I just scrapped. | 07:20 |
| crackguy | theadmin, i don't really know what am I looking for, just wanna start from basic (os independent knowledge) | 07:20 |
| airtonix | distatica, have you tried the ndiswrapper method ? | 07:21 |
| kevbo | no, because I assume you need the internet to do it | 07:21 |
| airtonix | kevbo, and i assumed (since you mentioned doing this step in windows) that you have access to a machine which has internet access | 07:21 |
| Curly_Q | Crackguy, simply put, a DNS (Domain Name Server) is just like a telephone book. When you log onto the internet and lookup an IP address or use HTML, it looks basically for an address. The DNS server has all of the telephone numbers or IP addresses and forwards them to your computer. | 07:21 |
| Moat | how do i run perl script? | 07:21 |
| kevbo | that's where I hit a wall | 07:21 |
| brjann | crackguy: I'm not trying to be glib, but wikipedia's article on DNS is pretty comprehensive | 07:22 |
| theadmin | crackguy: Well, DNS servers have "records", basically of following type, A = assigning a hostname to IP adress. AAAAAA = Assigning a hostname to IPv6 adress, MX = assigning a mail server to the hostname, and CNAME = making a hostname a clone of another domain | 07:22 |
| theadmin | Moat: perl somefile | 07:22 |
| kevbo | I have windows 7 on the same laptop | 07:22 |
| crackguy | cool | 07:22 |
| airtonix | kevbo, so back to my initial repsonse : download and install msysgit on your windows machine that has internet access... then do the "git clone " stage on the page you linked to me on the windows machine... | 07:23 |
| iflema | kevbo theres a restricted driver for your card on the install cd of 9.10+ | 07:23 |
| Cappy | can someone point me in the direction of some info about resizing partitions within ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| kevbo | ? | 07:23 |
| crackguy | am a linux enthusiast, installed ubuntu and gave up on it several times.. i basically want to do something on it.. i know it sounds silly that i've no idea what am looking for but i want to feel the difference being a windows user for years and now switching to linux | 07:24 |
| abhi_nav | Cappy: use gparted | 07:24 |
| brjann | !partitioning > Cappy | 07:24 |
| ubottu | Cappy, please see my private message | 07:24 |
| airtonix | iflema, indeed, kevbo you will need to add the cd as a "software source" in the gui tool found at : system > admin > software sources | 07:24 |
| kevbo | airtonix I didn't know much about git "repositories" at the time :p I'll give it a shot | 07:25 |
| kevbo | I did add the cd | 07:25 |
| lifestream | I have a really stupid question. If you right click your window border, it will give you the Window Menu. Even if you set the border to 0px, it still does that. Now, how do I disable that? I just lost 2 hrs of work because I accidentaly clicked [x]Close, because my mouse right button clicked the border. | 07:25 |
| iflema | airtonix no | 07:25 |
| airtonix | iflema, then i'll let you describe the process | 07:25 |
| iflema | !broadcom | kevbo | 07:26 |
| ubottu | kevbo: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 07:26 |
| xangua | lifestream: you don't want widow borders¿ | 07:26 |
| brjann | Cappy: darn, I thought that factoid had more info on gparted. My mistake. this should be more informative: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm | 07:26 |
| lifestream | xangua, does it matter either way? I just DONT want the menu to show up either way | 07:26 |
| kevbo | iflema , what? lol | 07:27 |
| kevbo | oh wait lol | 07:28 |
| kevbo | I installed bcmwl kernel source already | 07:28 |
| mr-grey2 | Kubuntu/Xubuntu and ubuntu, is there really a big diffrence of the three? I heard that one of those versions could help my issue and I do not need to blow away my system to one, just add the extra packages | 07:29 |
| Bede | mr-grey2 They're the same under the surface, but have different look and feel. | 07:29 |
| Bede | If you've got one installed, installing another is easy | 07:29 |
| claws_ | guys...i cannot install .. cuz it says somethin about no write permission on the instal directory.. | 07:29 |
| Bede | Just do: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop (or whatever version), then you can choose your flavour at boot-up time | 07:30 |
| Curly_Q | Crackguy, I have felt the same way for years. I am an expert with Windows and with Linux, I am always learning because Linux and Windows are two separate beasts. Windows is not open source which makes it more difficulty when Linux is open source, that makes it more usable with the intellectual community knowing how to program and compile software which means "Open Source" | 07:30 |
| mr-grey2 | Bede: Thank you. I heard that those two do not use pulseaudio and that could be causing my audio problems. I have nothing going on tonight and this drive is a linux test for me to learn anyhow hehe | 07:30 |
| kevbo | when I activate the driver, it doesn't do anything | 07:30 |
| crackguy | Curly_Q, I am not a coder, is linux still for me? | 07:30 |
| kevbo | even if I restart | 07:31 |
| Curly_Q | Sure it is. | 07:31 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: good luck! They're all good versions - I hope you find one that works for you | 07:31 |
| srini | how to configurre the local repo for apt-mirror?? | 07:31 |
| distatica | kevbo: did you try the BCM43xx drivers? I was jut about to try that | 07:31 |
| digital_1 | ok grub2 has got to be more dual-boot friendly | 07:31 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: When I used to use Kubuntu, I did without pulseaudio, although it was there as an option. | 07:31 |
| kevbo | which ones? | 07:31 |
| kevbo | the bcmwk kernel source? | 07:32 |
| distatica | on that link iflema got sent | 07:32 |
| distatica | no, scroll own | 07:32 |
| distatica | down even | 07:32 |
| Moat | is there a program that will run perl script when i click on it? | 07:32 |
| fabio | soory, i can have italian link chat? | 07:32 |
| distatica | Installing BCM43xx drivers | 07:32 |
| kevbo | b43 fw cutter? | 07:32 |
| distatica | yeah | 07:32 |
| Curly_Q | Crackguy be a good listener and see how the Linux community works together asking questions and answering them. You will enjoy it. Never be discouraged. | 07:32 |
| mr-grey2 | Bede: Thanks again, I'll try and install one. just have to decide on xubuntu or kubuntu.. Something easy since I'm a noob lol | 07:33 |
| digital_1 | For dual boot setups, every time there is a new kernel added to the boot menu after an update, it messes up the order of my default OS to boot. Then you have to go in an change it every time. Is there a better way? | 07:33 |
| distatica | kevbo: unless you have a good reason not to, I'm going ot give that a shot. | 07:33 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: Overall, you'll find xubuntu simpler. KDE is great, but much more customizable and fiddly, I'd say | 07:33 |
| kevbo | no I guess not. I don't have internet access so im not sure what "set up manually l means | 07:34 |
| Moat | is there a program that will run perl script when i click on it? | 07:34 |
| abhi_nav | !grub | degital_1 | 07:34 |

| mkquist | xangua: did you get ur answer | 07:34 |
| mr-grey2 | like making menus melt when you close them Bede? lol | 07:34 |
| abhi_nav | fabio: #ubuntu-it | 07:35 |
| digital_1 | !grub2 | 07:35 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:35 |
| chai1 | how can i change the default font size for chat messages in empathy? | 07:35 |
| kevbo | t definitely let me know how it works.. I've been trying to figure it out for 8 hours | 07:35 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: Ha! No, I like Compiz for that. I used Kubuntu for about a year and loved it, but I'd certainly start with gnome or XFCE if you're quite new to linux | 07:35 |
| kemutug | hallloo | 07:35 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 07:35 |
| kemutug | siapa yang bisa bahasa indomnesia | 07:35 |
| bazhang | !id | kemutug | 07:36 |

| distatica | kevbo: will do | 07:36 |
| kemutug | iam from indonesia | 07:36 |
| Cappy | thanks brajann | 07:36 |
| bazhang | kemutug, /join #ubuntu-id | 07:36 |
| Curly_Q | Bede the downfall of Gnome is that it uses lots of System Resources. That slows down the server just on the GUI side. Consider that. | 07:36 |
| digital_1 | Gnome is just clean and simple and out of the way. | 07:36 |
| mr-grey2 | Bede: is Compiz a program to enhance your desktop like windowblinds for microsoft? | 07:36 |
| kemutug | tidak teman disana pak | 07:36 |
| digital_1 | mr-grey2 yes | 07:36 |
| digital_1 | but way more | 07:36 |
| abhi_nav | kemutug: /join #ubuntu-id | 07:37 |
| distatica | kevbo: brb | 07:37 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: Yes, that's right. Many people use it with Gnome. Gnome can be a little heavy on resources; if you have a problem with that then you'll probably like XFCE | 07:37 |
| Curly_Q | The best servers don' | 07:37 |
| Curly_Q | Don't use GUI. | 07:37 |
| Moat | how do i run perl scripts? | 07:37 |
| Bede | Curly-Q: I don't think we were talking about servers! I think Mr-grey2 was asking about a non-server use | 07:38 |
| Cappy | hrmm anyone able to tell me how to resize a mounted /home partition | 07:38 |
| abhi_nav | Cappy: ?? | 07:38 |

| digital_1 | Moat, can't you mark them as executables? | 07:38 |
| Moat | how? | 07:39 |
| Curly_Q | Bede the point is that GUI is a pig on system resources. Whether server or non-server. It all can be done without a GUI. | 07:39 |
| mr-grey2 | Yeah just personal use learning how to navagate linux yet still look wicked lol | 07:39 |
| Cappy | abhi_nav, i did, but i can only find info about resizing a windows partition | 07:39 |
| abhi_nav | Cappy: have you installed gparted? install it | 07:39 |
| Bede | Curly-Q - sure, but many people like it | 07:40 |
| mr-grey2 | I stumbled across ubuntu "satanic edition" on a website lol | 07:40 |
| Bede | Curly-Q - each to their own! | 07:40 |
| Moat | how do i run perl scripts? | 07:40 |
| abhi_nav | Cappy: it has gui. you wll easly know how to use it | 07:40 |
| Curly_Q | If you need a GUI it can be done remotely through SSH and with a remote GUI. That makes your server run fast and more efficient. | 07:40 |
| damian | wondering how to remove a theme from firefox from outside of the program, I'd go on the internet to look it up...but the only browser I have is firefox X_x | 07:40 |
| Bede | mr-grey2: Ha! I suppose it's a response to the christian edition? | 07:40 |
| mr-grey2 | Bede lol indeed it is | 07:40 |
| mkquist | Cappy: you dont resize mounted partitions | 07:40 |
| Cappy | abhi_nav, i've installed it, and yes i see how to use it, but it WONT let me resize the drive because its not mounted, and it wont let me unmount it | 07:41 |
| Moat | how do i run perl scripts? | 07:41 |
| Curly_Q | It has nothing to do with each to his own. It has to do with system resources and how it is manages. | 07:41 |
| Curly_Q | managed. | 07:41 |
| Bede | Moat: Have you tried chmod +x <filename> ? | 07:41 |
| Moat | yes | 07:41 |
| chai1 | where are applications stored in ubuntu? | 07:41 |
| chai1 | like what directory? | 07:41 |
| Bede | Curly-Q - so you're telling everyone here not to use a GUI? | 07:41 |
| Moat | is there a program that runs perl scripts for me? | 07:41 |
| abhi_nav | Cappy: you have ubuntu livecd? go to livecd. gparted is there already. you can unmount home from livecd. and then use gparted | 07:41 |
| Moat | is there a program that runs perl scripts for me? | 07:42 |
| Curly_Q | No. | 07:42 |
| Curly_Q | Not at all. | 07:42 |
| Moat | thats worthless then | 07:42 |
| digital_1 | In Ubuntu, I think you just create the *.pl file and then give it execute permission by right-clicking on the file --> Properties--> And allow running as executable | 07:42 |
| Curly_Q | But remotely you can use a GUI but not use it on your server. | 07:42 |
| abhi_nav | digital_1: chmod +x filename | 07:42 |
| Bede | Curly-Q - then I don't understand what's you're saying. Totally agree that GUIs use resources, and they're not ideal for servers, but don't get what you're saying | 07:42 |
| damian | cant you just run perl scripts from shell? perl filename.pl? | 07:43 |
| claws_ | guys...i cannot install .. cuz it says somethin about no write permission on the instal directory.. | 07:43 |
| digital_1 | abhi_nav: I stay out of the terminal whenver I can. lol | 07:43 |
| claws_ | help plz | 07:43 |
| abhi_nav | digital_1: :) | 07:43 |
| abhi_nav | !details | claws | 07:43 |
| ubottu | claws: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:43 |
| Curly_Q | Read what I said again. If you ssh into your box and don't use a GUI on your box but use a remote box, then the resources are used on the remote box. | 07:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, what are you installing? Sounds like you need to run the installer with sudo. | 07:43 |
| Bede | Curly-Q - I'm sorry, I think we're talking at cross-purposes. I was talking to someone about using Xubuntu or Kubuntu; nothing to do with remote access. Sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick | 07:44 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : its a sid meiers game :) | 07:44 |
| Moat | how do i run php script? | 07:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, so you are using wine. what game? | 07:45 |
| digital_1 | Moat what distro / ver are you using anyhow? | 07:45 |
| Moat | ubuntu 9.10 | 07:45 |
| Curly_Q | I use Kubuntu here. I use a remote box for the GUI when logging into the Linux box. I don't need GUI on the linux box if I am using a Windows box to see what is going on if I need a GUI. | 07:45 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : Alpha Centauri.. its for linux :) | 07:46 |
| effigy | i keep getting this error in alert "the update information is outdated. this may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer..." the only suggestion i can find is to change the repository server, but that doesn't seem to be fixing it | 07:46 |
| effigy | anyone got a suggestion? been trying google for a while | 07:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, isn't that pretty old? it might not work anymore. but try to start the installer with "sudo ./$whatinstalleriscalled" | 07:46 |
| digital_1 | Then for me, I just create the HelloWorld.pl file, mark it as executable and it just runs when I execute the file name. | 07:46 |
| Moat | i'm tryna run a perl script in terminal but all that happens is that terminal closes just as i open it | 07:47 |
| digital_1 | Trying something simple in a text file marked as executable | 07:48 |
| digital_1 | For instance, just add this: perl -e 'print "perl version is: $]\n";' | 07:48 |
| digital_1 | That should print out the version | 07:48 |
| digital_1 | or not | 07:48 |
| digital_1 | is our beloved 10.04 going to finally get some decent eyecandy? | 07:49 |
| damian | anyone know how to undo a firefox theme from outside of the program? The one I installed is messed up majorly and cant do it from within the program or search the web to find the solution for it. I'm using firefox 3.6 | 07:49 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "package linux-doc: Linux kernel specific documentation for version 2.6.31. -- package linux-source-2.6.31: Linux kernel source for version 2.6.31 with Ubuntu patches." So does linux-source-2.6.31 contain a superset of linux-doc? Can I delete linux-doc if I have linux-source-2.6.31 installed? | 07:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | digital_1, ubuntu+1 for lucid talk, but new themes today! buttons on left side which seems to be make many people unhappy (they can be moved however) | 07:50 |
| digitalfiz | whats the best way to install apache+php so that each script thats run on the website is run under that specific user in ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| sir_lewk | does ubuntu have 'iniparser' packaged and in it's repos? | 07:51 |
| digital_1 | Thanks ZykoticK9. I'm anxious to see it. | 07:51 |
| damian | I tried the firefox channel but am not getting a response and havent for awhile now :( | 07:51 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : how do i list my drives? | 07:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, "sudo fdisk -l" will show your HDs | 07:51 |
| iceroot | digital_1: there is an option in php.ini for that but using www-data is a much better solution | 07:51 |
| digital_1 | I'm assuming you googled it Damian? | 07:51 |
| sir_lewk | I don't use ubuntu, but I'm developing some software I want to make sure ubuntu users will easily be able to build | 07:51 |
| abhi_nav | sir_lewk: which software? | 07:52 |
| damian | I can't digital, the theme messed up my firefox, I see stright through the main window to the desktop, and can even click on the desktop icons....definatly a new experience for me | 07:52 |
| claws_ | how do i get into my home directory ? | 07:53 |
| digital_1 | ahhh | 07:53 |
| iceroot | claws_: cd | 07:53 |
| abhi_nav | cd /home/username | 07:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | sir_lewk, could iniparser go by a different name? searches for iniparser and ini-parser show nothing. | 07:53 |
| iceroot | abhi_nav: just cd | 07:53 |
| digitalfiz | iceroot, im sure its not as easy as putting something in the php.ini and the reason I want the scripts to run as the user is so that my scripts(wordpress) can modify and upload files. cpanel does this I just need to know the proper method | 07:53 |
| sir_lewk | no, not that I know of :/ | 07:53 |
| digital_1 | run it in safe mode | 07:53 |
| abhi_nav | iceroot: ok | 07:53 |
| sir_lewk | abhi_nav: I'm writing a roguelike for the rec.games.roguelike.development 7drl challenge | 07:53 |
| digital_1 | start it from the command line with something like firefox -safe-mode | 07:54 |
| abhi_nav | sir_lewk: give me the full url. i have never heard about that game | 07:54 |
| digital_1 | see if that works Damian | 07:54 |
| sir_lewk | http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=7DRL | 07:55 |
| sir_lewk | a game like nethack or rogue, only writtin in 7 days. nothing huge or professional | 07:56 |
| digital_1 | anyone running World of Warcraft on Wine on 64-bit with > 4gb ram? | 07:56 |
| iceroot | digital_1: yes, running fine | 07:56 |
| iceroot | digital_1: but wow is a 32bit application | 07:57 |
| digital_1 | iceroot : do you ever get out of memory crashes? | 07:57 |
| abhi_nav | sir_lewk: everything goes over my head. but i wll try to know | 07:57 |
| iceroot | digital_1: never had crashes | 07:57 |
| damian | Thanks Digital :) It worked like a charm. | 07:57 |
| digital_1 | Glad it worked Damian | 07:57 |
| Curly_Q | Digital, yes, just add more memory. ;-) | 07:58 |
| digital_1 | iceroot : there was some bug where running 64-bit WINE on 64-bit Linux caused WoW to progressively allocate more and more ram until it exhausted the memory. | 07:58 |
| iceroot | !info wine jaunty | 07:58 |
| digital_1 | I had to move to Cedega to get around it but I would really like to go back to Wine | 07:58 |
| ubottu | wine (source: wine): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 (jaunty), package size 7329 kB, installed size 54508 kB | 07:58 |
| iceroot | digital_1: 1.0.1 dont have that bug | 07:59 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : i typed... sudo ./$setup.sh. it say the command not found | 07:59 |
| digital_1 | iceroot: thanks maybe I can try that again. | 07:59 |
| iceroot | digital_1: and cadega is nothing else then picking the right wine version for a application | 07:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, sorry the $ was just to show it was a variable, use "sudo ./setup.sh" | 07:59 |
| digital_1 | iceroot : i wasn't sure if they modified or forked Wine somehow. | 08:00 |
| iceroot | digital_1: if i am correct, cadega is not patching wine, just using the correct wine-version and config for a specific windows-program (its looking at somwthing like appdb) | 08:00 |
| iceroot | digital_1: no modification | 08:00 |
| digital_1 | iceroot : thanks you've encouraged me enough to try it again. nothing ventured as they say... | 08:00 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : still command not found :( | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 08:01 |
| iceroot | digital_1: if i have problems with wine, i am using the appdb, looking what version is perfect for my windiws-program and than using that version | 08:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, you have to be in the same directory as setup.sh when you run the command | 08:01 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : i am :s | 08:01 |
| iceroot | digital_1: nothing else is cadega doing, but cadega is "installing" more then one version, or better, its using different configs for one version | 08:01 |
| xfact_ | I live in India and every time when I am opening OpenOffice the language is pre-set to 'English (india)' but how to change it to 'English (USA)' permanently? | 08:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, try "sudo sh setup.sh" | 08:01 |
| iceroot | digital_1: nothing you couldnt do by yourself | 08:01 |
| brjann | iceroot: cedega is a proprietary fork. it's not the vanilla wine code. | 08:02 |
| iceroot | brjann: are you sure? | 08:02 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : it says... cant open setup.sh | 08:02 |
| iceroot | !cadega | 08:02 |
| iceroot | !cedega | 08:03 |
| ubottu | cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 08:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, are you running 64bit version of Ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Claws_: if you run: ls ,do you see setup.sh? | 08:03 |
| claws_ | 32bit | 08:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, what about what ActionParsnip asked? | 08:03 |
| iceroot | brjann: but if i am correct, the only fork is that you can use different wine-version with one installation | 08:04 |
| === techhelper1 is now known as duh | ||
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : yes i see setup.sh | 08:04 |
| * xfact_ feeling disgusted about word processing | 08:04 | |
| digital_1 | iceroot thanks for all the tips. I'm definitely going to try it again. Thanks also for the info on Cedega. | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceroot: does crossover not do it too? | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Digital_1: there's crossoveroffice (also costs money) which is similar | 08:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | claws_, does "sudo sh setup.sh" give you ANY other output other then "cannot open" | 08:05 |
| wowoto | 谁可以推荐一个俄罗斯方块游戏 | 08:05 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: crossover is imo a patched version | 08:05 |
| wowoto | 简单的就可以 | 08:05 |
| wowoto | 不要自带的 | 08:05 |
| FloodBot3 | wowoto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:05 |
| abhi_ | did anyone saw the new ubuntu theme | 08:05 |
| wowoto | 依赖太多了 | 08:05 |
| iceroot | !cn | wowoto | 08:05 |
| ubottu | wowoto: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Claws_: try: sudo sh ./setup.sh | 08:05 |
| === duh is now known as techhelper1 | ||
| dehqan | there is a folder containing jaunty and karmic packages how to separate the jaunty packages from the karmic packages? | 08:05 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: but never looked at crossover | 08:05 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: just reading some articles and bug-reports | 08:06 |
| wowoto | i joined a wrong # | 08:06 |
| digital_1 | iceroot : thanks I've used crossover but not ever for gaming | 08:06 |
| claws_ | ZykoticK9 : claws@claws-laptop:~/Alpha_Centauri_iso$ sudo sh setup.sh | 08:06 |
| claws_ | sh: Can't open setup.sh | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhi_: looked like karmic in my alpha3 install. Quickly installed lxde and it all vanished :) | 08:06 |
| iceroot | digital_1: crossover is for using ms office and other software you dont really need | 08:06 |
| claws_ | ActionParsnip : claws@claws-laptop:~/Alpha_Centauri_iso$ sudo sh ./setup.sh | 08:06 |
| claws_ | sh: Can't open ./setup.sh | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Claws_: what is the output of: ls -la ./setup.sh | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceroot: you can run games in crossover just like cedega | 08:07 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: of course, because it is wine but the focus is imo on ms office | 08:08 |
| iceroot | !crossover | 08:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | iceroot, there is actually a "CrossOver Games" version -- trial available http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/download_trial/ | 08:08 |
| iceroot | ubottu: go to school and learn something | 08:08 |

| Jon- | Looking to make a wine app [irfanview] open a file type by default. Issue: file paths are different than windows. I saw a fix for uTorrent here: http://blog.shadypixel.com/fixing-utorrent-file-associations-in-linux/ anyone have any ideas? | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Claws_: ok so everybody has execute and read access and its owned by root | 08:09 |
| iceroot | claws_: you called the file ./setup.sh? | 08:09 |
| distatica | I have a minimal install without gnome, I need access to the enable restricted drivers, can I do this from command line? | 08:09 |
| claws_ | iceroot : nope | 08:09 |
| iceroot | ZykoticK9: thx for the info | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon-: create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications which will take a file as input and make it launch irfanview in wine with the file as the arg, if you look at the other files in that folder you will see what I mean | 08:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | distatica, is jockey installed? i believe it has a cli option (never used it), or jockey-gtk which is the GUI version | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon-: just make one to run the windows app | 08:11 |
| distatica | ZykoticK9: Installing -gtk right now | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: without a gui you don't really need drivers | 08:11 |
| distatica | ActionParsnip: without a gui I don't really need wireless drivers? | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: for video anyhoo | 08:12 |
| distatica | or are you thinking.. yeah | 08:12 |
| digitalfiz | anyody know what the method cpanel uses to run php scripts on a website as the user account its under? trying to accomplish this on my ubuntu server | 08:12 |
| distatica | And I didn't say I don't have a gui, just a minimal install and no gnome (running stumpwm) | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Digitalfiz: could ask in #ubuntu-server too | 08:13 |
| claws_ | is it possible to burn multiple iso in one single disk and be able to run them as you want from disk... like iso joilet on ms | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: if you use nvidia you can just install the driver package to get the driver using apt-get | 08:14 |
| distatica | ZykoticK9: jockey appears to be exaclty what I was looking for, thanks | 08:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | distatica, glad to help :) | 08:14 |
| distatica | ActionParsnip: wireless | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: I'm sure ati has similar | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: then run: sudo lshw -C network | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: websearch for the product line to find guides | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: of the wifi device of course ;) | 08:15 |
| distatica | ActionParsnip: I've already figured out what card I have, and got a guide, but the guide figures I have ubuntu installed which has a restricted drivers gui tool | 08:15 |
| distatica | but I don't have the full ubuntu installed, so that's whereI ran into an issue. Jockey was the right thing though. | 08:15 |
| kevbo | distatica: how did it end up? | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: is there no server guide towards the bottom? | 08:15 |
| number-g | hi, i am having trouble sending files from my phone via bluetooth to my pc | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: do you have a broadcom 43xx per chance? | 08:16 |
| number-g | works from pc to phone, but the pc doesn't show up from the phone | 08:16 |
| distatica | kevbo: fail, trying the STA | 08:16 |
| distatica | ActionParsnip: yes | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Number-g: make the pc discoverable | 08:16 |
| distatica | ActionParsnip: 4312 | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Distratica: I hate them but there are guides | 08:17 |
| number-g | ActionParsnip: it is | 08:17 |
| number-g | which is what is confusing | 08:17 |
| justin_ | Can anyone give me a hand setting up a USB wireless adapter? I'm having some trouble. | 08:17 |
| Jon- | ActionParsnip: Are you sure it goes in /usr/share/Applications? This appears to be my Applications menu, I am looking to make the default for images be IrfanView under wine with modified paths of course, as it is necessary. I see no .desktop here. | 08:17 |
| distatica | like that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon- /usr/share/applications is the folder | 08:17 |
| distatica | quote: "Following the above command, under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, the drivers can be activated for immediate use. " | 08:18 |
| number-g | i notice that the "friendly name" i set in the applet disappears each reboot too | 08:18 |
| distatica | note that menu is not available for me. | 08:18 |
| claws_ | when i install something... what is the link directory ? is it where the shortcuts go ? | 08:18 |
| Jon- | ActionParsnip: Can you give me an example of a .desktop file then? I see no such examples here. | 08:18 |
| justin_ | Anyone have experience with setting up Orinoco drivers? | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon-: /usr/share/applications/transmission.desktop | 08:19 |
| distatica | brb | 08:19 |
| Jon- | ActionParsnip: I do not have transmission.desktop. | 08:19 |
| Jon- | ActionParsnip: I told you, there are NO .desktop here. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon-: its that sort of thing. Think outside the box | 08:19 |
| justin_ | I'm trying to set up a 2wire USB adapter and I've had no luck so far. Trying to install the Orinoco drivers, but the "Make" command returns Error 1 and Error 2. Can anyone give me a hand? | 08:20 |

| Dr_Willis | Jon-: I suggest you use the linux apps really, I dont see much gaining by using wine and irfanview to view images.. unless you want to do it as a way to learn a bit more about linux scripting | 08:27 |

| Jon- | Dr_Willis: I have tried all the linux apps and they are vastly insuperior to infranview imo, it's a woderful small viewer/fast editor when you don't need to do anything too intensive, and I know all they keyboard shortcuts. And why not learn anyway? Isn't linux supposed to be what you make it? Please don't give me a copout, if you don't want to help that's fine | 08:28 |

| Jon- | Dr_Willis: Goal: be able to open a .jpg with IrfanView by default. Second goal: Not getting frustrated and just going back to windows. Solution: two years of study? Come on. I'm a programmer myself, this can't be that hard for someone here to whip up an easy script. A simple wine "path" to open didn't quite work. | 08:32 |
| distatica | I'm trying ot see if you can just download the basic text version though | 08:32 |

| ardchoille | Is there a way to switch tabs in firefox with the keyboard? | 08:33 |
| Sami_ubi | how can I do it ? | 08:33 |
| kevbo | the apt-get doesn't require an internet connection? | 08:33 |
| ShadowOfBlood | I don't understand the !pastebin thing | 08:33 |
| distatica | kevbo: sorry yeah it does | 08:33 |
| distatica | trying to find a better way for ya | 08:33 |
| Jon- | ardchoille: ctrl + tab or ctrl + shift + tab | 08:33 |
| abhi_nav | kevbo: if you have required packages in arhcive then dont | 08:33 |
| Jon- | ardchoille: or ctrl + *num* where *num* is the tabs # | 08:33 |
| ShadowOfBlood | How do I use it? | 08:33 |
| ardchoille | Jon-: ah, thanks much :) | 08:33 |
| abhi_nav | kevbo: then ne is not required | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: 2 hrs | 08:34 |
| abhi_nav | Sami_ubi sudp apt-get install gnome-commander? | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: and i doubt if its going tobe that hard a script | 08:34 |
| vng | ardchoille: Alt + *num* | 08:34 |
| Jon- | ardchoille: No problem. ctrl + t = new tab, ctrl + w = close current tab, ctrl + shift + is reopen last closed tab ctrl + l is location bar ctrl + k is google bar. All very useful, learn to love them with Firefox or Chrome and you'll be flying. | 08:34 |

| ShadowOfBlood | Can anyone tell me how to use the Ubuntu pastebin? | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: you will have to learn how wine and linux paths differ. You can set up wine where for example H: is /home/username/ so that would make things a little easier toconvert.. but i seem tor ecall wine apps also some how handling Linux paths. but that may be in a few special cases | 08:35 |
| abhi_nav | distatica: he who? | 08:35 |
| abhi_nav | ShadowOfBlood read my last msg ^^^^ | 08:35 |
| ShadowOfBlood | Oh, thanks, didn't see it | 08:36 |
| distatica | kevbo: I actually don't know what ot tell you.. | 08:36 |
| distatica | abhi_nav: kevbo | 08:36 |
| ShadowOfBlood | Ah, I get it, thank you very much =D | 08:36 |

| Dr_Willis | Jon-: you will learn more in an hr of reading that ABS guide then you will in 5 hrs of chatting | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: given i know nothing of your bash experioence.. Im not going to explain the stuff you would learn in 5 min of reading | 08:37 |
| kevbo | yeah I probably will then. i might be able to hook up my android phone up via usb but we'll see. do I just type that one command and it does it all? | 08:37 |
| distatica | abhi_nav: why the details request? | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: bash 101 shell scripts begin with #!/bin/bash then commands follow. :) | 08:38 |
| Jon- | Dr_Willis: I normally like learning, tonight I want to get this working. Period. If it's an easy bash script to convert to a wine-like path, then great. EVERYTHING works once irfanview is loaded, issue is getting it to open properly. | 08:38 |
| distatica | unless he's got a new question I missed, this is an old question. | 08:38 |
| abhi_nav | distatica: i am (also) not getting what he is asking about | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: there might be one allready made. Id have to google/research it. | 08:38 |

| Elite_ | hi guys i have a really good one here does anyone know why 9.10 both 32 and 64 bit versions stalls at "setting users and passwords" after setting up encrypted lvm ? | 08:38 |
| Jon- | Dr_Willis: If I found it I wouldn't be here. Please don't go from RTFM to Google... Terrible ;) | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: nautilus also has a scripting feature. you may want to look into. | 08:39 |
| kevbo | its regarding drivers for the broadcom 4312 | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: go do what you want. Id have to google and rtfm to answer you. so thats the bottom line. I dont have a script allready made.. it would proberly take me an hr or more to figure one out | 08:39 |
| distatica | kevbo: wait, you don't have to do that, that's for me since I don't have gnome, you just go to your hardware drivers and select the STA driver.. or did you try that already? | 08:39 |
| Elite_ | its been stalled at that spot for 2 days | 08:39 |
| abhi_nav | gaurang: like this | 08:39 |
| kevbo | I tried that. when I click activate it doesn't do anything | 08:40 |
| distatica | System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers.. | 08:40 |
| kevbo | even after a restart | 08:40 |

| Dr_Willis | Jon-: theres proberly code in it you can reuse | 08:40 |
| distatica | for me, with jockey-gtk, it had to download stuff. | 08:40 |
| kevbo | oh it didn't activate, but maybe that's why? | 08:41 |
| distatica | I'm thinking yeah | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: i just set up utorrent to monitor a directory. :) so ive never needed to set that assoication | 08:41 |
| Jon- | Dr_Willis: It's nearly 3am, I have no interest in learning Bash, for someone who knows it this is a very simple problem given that there is existing code that works for a different app, all that should change is the extension and program. Come on. | 08:41 |
| === djhash_ is now known as djhash | ||
| distatica | kevbo: not sure how big the download is, if you've got a decent plan it might be worth a shot. | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | its 3 am here for me also. actually 4 am. | 08:41 |
| distatica | get it online and then try to enable that STA driver. | 08:41 |
| kevbo | I downloaded the bcmwl kernel source before.. before that, nothing was showing up under hardware drivers | 08:41 |
| distatica | hmm | 08:41 |
| kevbo | yeah its unlimited | 08:42 |
| piojunbabia | how do i know my ftp details like my host name, user name, password, and port number. Im using filezilla | 08:42 |
| distatica | maybe then try jockey-gtk maybe it installed something else. I just ran that and enabled it downloaded some stuff, and set it up, then I rebooted to working wirless. | 08:42 |
| distatica | sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk && sudo jockey-gtk | 08:42 |
| ShadowOfBlood | I'm just going to restate my problem with more details. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and attempting to install a 2Wire wireless USB adapter. I've tried using ndiswrapper to install WlanUIG; didn't work. So I tried again with AmPsmNIC; no luck again. I'm currently trying to install the Orinoco drivers, but my "Make" command returned errors. Can someone take a look at the errors and see if you can figure out why it won't ins | 08:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jon-, using native ubuntu applications instead of using wine really is the best long term solution... | 08:43 |

| Dr_Willis | always put it on the windows box's. but rarely bother in linux | 08:46 |

| baba_b00ie | hello, i'm interested in using ubuntu to scan random hard drives *out of windows machines* is there solutions for this ? | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: scan in what way? Not sure what you are doing exactly | 08:53 |
| bazhang | baba_b00ie, your own? | 08:53 |
| kwtm | Jon-: Goal is to click on *.jpg file and have it opened by IrfanView? | 08:53 |
| kwtm | Jon-: I mean, by default. | 08:53 |
| baba_b00ie | Dr_Willis, bazhang i used drive cages to put my customer machine hd's in. scan drives for nasties and then i manually hunt down files.. but i need spyware scanners and virus detection available in my host OS | 08:54 |
| Jon- | kwtm: Yes | 08:55 |
| kwtm | Jon-: Was going to offer some wisdom but that CompuTech article seems to have beat me to it. Even does the search replace. Potential problem: if your | 08:55 |
| kwtm | Jon-: it is possible that your linux directory containing the *.jpg file is not visible from the Wine "virtual windows machine" so to speak. | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: actually i think in the next nautilus (or right now in some ppa versions) theres a Majorly improved image preview feature - but i forget its name. baba_b00ie | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: theres av and spyware scanner tools for linux - that scan windows files. | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: i use live cd's to do that job on other peoples machines normally | 08:56 |
| Jon- | kwtm: My issue now is that: there is an issue with this version of IrfanView that means I have to run it from drive_c root [the exe]. Changing the script to that, and.. it doesn't work. Odd. | 08:57 |
| kwtm | Jon-: Useful to know a standard linux way of viewing but I support your Just Get It Done For Now And Spend TIme Later approach. | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: wine has 'config/wine dirs' where you can set up a seperate wine enviroment for each wine app if you wanted to. Comes in handy | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | kwtm: thats how we do it at work.. and what happens is it NEVER gets done/learned the right way later. :) | 08:58 |
| iceroot | kwtm: why using irfanview? and then with wine? look at the alternatives on linux | 08:58 |
| baba_b00ie | Dr_Willis, i use live cds too. but i built a slew of machines for backing up their data and i run scans put drive back in their box safe mode it and take it from there. all in all 4 days usually turn around. i'm a little anal and make sure its clean and fully functional | 08:58 |
| Jon- | kwtm: I feel so incredibly smart. Solved the problem myself, saw replace="\" and went "but wine uses \\ doesn't it?". Added extra \. Success. :D | 08:58 |
| kwtm | Dr_Willis: If that's what's needed, then that's fine. I keep coming here to ask questions myself, to quickly use a tool, and I keep getting these RTFM responses like my goal in life is to make Linux work. | 08:58 |

| Dr_Willis | kwtm: thats how i feel about windows | 09:00 |
| kwtm | Dr_Willis: and you are free to feel that way. Doesn't mean other people feel that way. When you buy a ticket to visit Florida, does your ticket agent say, "Why would you wanht to do that? Visit France instead! It's so much better!" | 09:00 |

| Jon- | Dr_Willis: When you are an insane windows power user: [read, I know 75% of the control panel by run commands], linux can be VERY frustrating. I have heard the more experience you have with windows [ie, used to keyboard shortcuts, used to system tools], the harder it is to switch. | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kwtm: airlines are chargeing $8 to borrow a blanket now it seems | 09:01 |
| kwtm | Dr_Willis: I'd rather him say, "Here's your ticket to FLorida ... now, sometime when you get a chance, go to France." | 09:01 |
| iceroot | kwtm: you have a ubuntu-support question? | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: actually i use windows less and less.. but every time i do use it.. i have to work how windows forces me to.. not how i want to. | 09:01 |

| rabbit | iceroot: i guess lighttpd is used instead of apache | 09:04 |
| iceroot | rabbit: then dont use lighthttpd | 09:04 |
| iceroot | rabbit: ps aux | grep light | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: i also started 'learning' computers back in the C64 days.. and was used to using several radically differnt os's from the start :) it pays big time tohave as broad a pc background as you can | 09:05 |
| ShadowOfBlood | Anyone have any ideas? | 09:05 |
| rabbit | iceroot: how do i get rid of it? | 09:05 |
| iceroot | rabbit: apt-get remove --purge lighthttpd | 09:05 |
| iceroot | rabbit: with sudo | 09:05 |
| rabbit | iceroot: thought of doing it, but again i had no idea wht file it was, so i din;t want to. | 09:06 |
| rabbit | iceroot: but now on ur instructions i am removing | 09:06 |
| baba_b00ie | Dr_Willis, yes'em i've run pc's since the 8088xt days. always hated gui's. found 'em slow and laggy. cli so much faster and flexible usually. i've run dos, linux *many distros* os2 warp and a few others. i to had vic 128 but never got in to it | 09:07 |
| baba_b00ie | well gtg thanks for help | 09:07 |
| brjann | ShadowOfBlood: it looks like the orinoco_usb driver is notoriously frustrating, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: i still have a C128 :) | 09:07 |

| brjann | ShadowOfBlood: what about ndiswrapper? | 09:08 |
| rabbit | iceroot: warning: not empty so not removed | 09:08 |
| ShadowOfBlood | brjann: I tried using ndiswrapper with other drives to no avail | 09:08 |
| ShadowOfBlood | drivers* | 09:08 |
| baba_b00ie | yeah c64x2 heh, samething just a typo | 09:08 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, define 'other drivers' | 09:08 |
| ShadowOfBlood | One sec, I have to get their names | 09:09 |
| iceroot | rabbit: that was not the complet error | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | baba_b00ie: I still see many features on the AMIGA i have - that i miss in Linux | 09:09 |
| pasword001 | ubuntu-hu | 09:09 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, because you need to use the correct windows drivers for that card with ndiswrapper | 09:09 |
| rabbit | iceroot: i made it short, now its ok, i run the command again | 09:09 |
| ShadowOfBlood | AmPsmNIC and wlanuig | 09:09 |
| pasword001 | #ubuntu-hu | 09:09 |
| iceroot | pasword001: /join #ubuntu-hu | 09:10 |
| abhi_nav | pasword001 what is ubuntu-hu? hu for? | 09:10 |
| rabbit | iceroot: again i get the same page | 09:10 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, so are they windows drivers you downloaded from the manufacturers website made for that card ? | 09:10 |
| nhak | are there any terminals which has multi-tab (like gnome-terminal) properties ? | 09:10 |
| iceroot | rabbit: ps aux | grep apache | 09:10 |
| baba_b00ie | Dr_Willis, the only amiga os's i used were pc clones *ge/os* and pc emulations. but from what i saw. even back in the bbs days they were light years ahead of themselfs for performance and features OS and HW | 09:10 |
| abhi_nav | !ubuntu-hu | 09:10 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: That's a good question. I think so. There's too much info regarding which drivers I need, so I'm assuming one of those three I tried is the correct one. | 09:10 |
| airtonix | baba_b00ie, do you have any support questions related to ubuntu ? | 09:11 |
| rabbit | iceroot: i did, i get few lines | 09:11 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, first thing you should do is goto the manufacturer website and get the driver for your exact card | 09:11 |
| baba_b00ie | airtonix, nope not anymore i already asked 'em | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: for a terminal i like to use 'terminator' more and more. Its a gnome-terminal on steroids. :) | 09:11 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, windows drivers for xp | 09:11 |
| rabbit | iceroot: root 7425 0.0 0.1 10484 2580 ? Ss 14:32 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start | 09:11 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis: baba_b00ie: #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic discussion | 09:11 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: I'll do that, one sec | 09:11 |
| iceroot | rabbit: on the website press ctrl + f5 | 09:11 |
| iceroot | rabbit: to reload the page without cache | 09:11 |
| rabbit | iceroot: thx | 09:12 |
| rabbit | iceroot: y f5 din't work? | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: terminator works easier for me then lots of tabs in a gnome-terminal | 09:12 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: K, it's downloading. What now? | 09:12 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, make sure you have ndiswrapper and ndisgtk installed on your ubuntu machine | 09:12 |
| iceroot | rabbit: how you installed apache? | 09:13 |
| spY|da | how do i change my sound profile without gnome for gnome apps? | 09:13 |
| rabbit | sudo apt-get install apache2 | 09:13 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, if the ubuntu machine doesn't have internet access you can use the offline feature of synaptic package manager | 09:13 |
| rabbit | iceroot: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 09:13 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: K, one sec | 09:13 |
| nhak | Dr_Willis, hmm with terminator you have several gnome-terminals in a window ? | 09:13 |
| nhak | i mean several gnome-terminals, not several tabs | 09:14 |
| iceroot | rabbit: place a file in /var/www/ and call it then with http://localhost/filename | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: exactly - side by side, vertical, horiz. or have tabs... | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: its some sort of fancy wrapper around gnome-terminal | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !info terminator | 09:14 |

| Elite_ | i did find this so far http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1338246 | 09:15 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, ok, the windows drivers ... did they come as an exe file ? | 09:15 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Yes | 09:15 |
| rabbit | iceroot: will install php5 and then call phpinfo | 09:15 |
| iceroot | rabbit: telnet localhost:80 should also tell the server | 09:15 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, then they are most likely a selfextracting archive... i;ve found that you can decompress them only by using a windows machine or running the exe in wine... | 09:16 |
| rabbit | iceroot: din't get u | 09:16 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: I have wine installed | 09:16 |
| nhak | hmm i need actually a lightweight terminal with tab options, and support the cut,copy and paste action | 09:16 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, when run it asks for a place to dump the contained files | 09:16 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, i mean in most cases... im not saying this is the case for you but it might be | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: all of them have copy/paste... theres different ones that do tabs.. personally i find tabs awkward | 09:17 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: It's asking for a location to extract to | 09:17 |
| iceroot | nhak: what about screen? | 09:17 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, sweet, you will want to keep the extracted files for later, so dump them somewhere easy to find | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | nhak: thers proberly a dozen terminal emulators out there you can try.. and a dozen more that are just simple variants of the other 12 | 09:17 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: K, one sec | 09:17 |
| iceroot | nhak: ctrl + a, ctrl + c to create a new terminal, ctrl + n to switch | 09:17 |
| rabbit | iceroot: index.html file already in /var/www and also phpinfo.php | 09:17 |
| iceroot | rabbit: foo.html | 09:18 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, (obviously you're going to experiement and havign them uncompressed is nicer than the exe form) | 09:18 |
| rabbit | iceroot: need more info | 09:18 |
| ardchoille | Jon-: Thanks again :D I'm making a "cheatsheet" for firefox | 09:18 |

| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Found it | 09:20 |
| Elite_ | have a good night/day all | 09:20 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: What now? | 09:20 |
| iceroot | rabbit: run "tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log" then surf to http://localhost if there is something comming on terminal, you are using apache | 09:21 |
| Jon- | ardchoille: See http://www.lesliefranke.com/files/reference/firefoxcheatsheet.html but what I told you plus ctrl + j for downloads, and quick-search [press /, type log, enter would highlight log out and press the link, logging you out. So fast when you get used to, it's basically a ctrl+f but enter executes link instead of find-next] is all I ever use. | 09:21 |

| ardchoille | abhi_nav: may I pm you? | 09:25 |
| abhi_nav | yah sure | 09:25 |

| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: K | 09:25 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Did that | 09:25 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, browse for your inf file you ffound | 09:25 |
| iceroot | rabbit: sudo apt-get install php5 then restart apache with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 09:26 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Install? | 09:26 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, yep | 09:26 |
| rabbit | iceroot: installed php5, | 09:26 |
| rabbit | iceroot: even after restart, the same message | 09:26 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, once thats done, it might say can't detect device... (it tells me that for my device yet the drivers seem to work fine) | 09:26 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: I think it's installing. The lights on the 2wire adapter powered on | 09:26 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Right now it's hanging. But slow computer, so it might take a bit of time | 09:27 |
| * abhi_nav just applied Times New Roman in xchat and found it so cute | 09:27 | |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, yep some hefty stuff occuring...but after its done, is a good idea to restart the machine after you complete the process | 09:28 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, but generally you should be able to use he wifi device without restarting | 09:28 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: K. So I should be able to use it once it's done installing? | 09:28 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Or after a restart? | 09:28 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, i've found that's the case for me. | 09:28 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Well, getting the lights to turn on is the closest it's come to working so far, lol | 09:29 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, but since its a kernel module things may be smoother after a restart so the module gets loaded at the right time | 09:29 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: What's that mean, exactly? | 09:29 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: kernel module? | 09:30 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, yep ndiswrapper is good for getting connectivity with wifi under linux, but you'll find that it might not offer all the features of the wifi device like monitor mode. | 09:30 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: As long as I can access the internet, I'm happy =) | 09:30 |
| dehqan | there is a folder containing jaunty and karmic packages how to separate the jaunty packages from the karmic packages? packges in .deb format in /var/cache/apt/archives | 09:31 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loadable_kernel_module | 09:31 |
| rabbit | iceroot: tried lot of options with libapach2-mod-ph5, no luck | 09:31 |
| rabbit | iceroot: its still askin option of save or open | 09:32 |
| airtonix | dehqan, you'll need to be a bit more exact in your description. are you running an apt repository mirror for two variants of ubuntu ? | 09:32 |
| zetheroo | how do bug fixes get implemented into the official kernel? What strings have to be pulled? | 09:33 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Thank you for the wiki link | 09:33 |
| dehqan | airtonix: no in that folder there are jaunty and karmic packages and want to seprate them | 09:33 |
| bazhang | dehqan, this is the partial upgrade between karmic and jaunty with the libc6 upgrade? | 09:33 |
| airtonix | dehqan, only reason that could happen in the first place is if you either 1) did an dist-upgrade, or 2) tried to install out of version deb files for your system. | 09:34 |
| airtonix | dehqan, i assume your case is the first ? | 09:34 |
| dehqan | airstrike: yes some kind upgrade | 09:34 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 09:35 |
| airtonix | dehqan, and you want to keep the jaunty deb files then ? | 09:35 |
| bazhang | airtonix, libc6 upgrade, partial upgrade to karmic, still on jaunty | 09:35 |
| dehqan | airtonix: yes sure | 09:35 |
| airtonix | zetheroo, i think there is another channel for this topic. | 09:35 |
| zetheroo | airtonix: I am asking on 3 Ubuntu channels .. | 09:35 |
| zetheroo | airtonix: your the first reply | 09:35 |
| zetheroo | :P | 09:35 |
| airtonix | zetheroo, have you tried checking the launchpad website and creating a thread on ubuntuforums ? | 09:36 |
| airtonix | zetheroo, i dont think its a question that will get answered quickly | 09:36 |
| zetheroo | airtonix: I don't think anyone really knows ... | 09:36 |
| airtonix | zetheroo, at least not anyone that uses irc or the forums :P | 09:37 |
| hobbit-girl | hello all. I am trying to switch from fedora to ubuntu, and having some issues... | 09:37 |
| bazhang | dehqan, you were asking about this earlier, and erusul gave you some instructions, best to follow his advice | 09:37 |
| dehqan | bazhang: which advice ? | 09:37 |
| dehqan | airtonix: so ? | 09:37 |
| bazhang | zetheroo, pulling strings to get fixes into the kernel is not within the scope of this channel | 09:38 |
| abhi_nav | !details | hobbit-girl | 09:38 |
| ubottu | hobbit-girl: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:38 |
| airtonix | dehqan, yes apologies i try to avoid dist-upgrade like the plague and have long since used a seperate partition for my home directory to make clean installs easier | 09:38 |
| zetheroo | airtonix: there has just been this bug that was sorted out almost a year ago that is still not in the official kernel and this means I have to download and update to a different kernel via a PPA repo | 09:38 |
| hobbit-girl | okay.. I downloaded the .iso file on the website and burned a cd | 09:39 |
| dehqan | airtonix: it is not related to that humble want to avoid redownloading packages | 09:39 |
| bazhang | airtonix, dist-upgrade is something different, unless one specifically changes sources.list | 09:39 |
| airtonix | dehqan, precisely for the reasons you are having problems with... thanks for reminding me why i stay away from dist-upgrade | 09:39 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | 09:39 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 09:39 |
| hobbit-girl | and I tried to reboot my computer, and it went right back to fedora | 09:39 |
| zetheroo | bazhang: which channel would you suggest? | 09:39 |

| dehqan | airtonix: yes | 09:40 |

| hobbit-girl | I am willing to go into pm for someone to walk me through | 09:40 |
| airtonix | dehqan, and you are hoping there is a simple one liner to use apt to seperate them ? | 09:40 |

| dehqan | airtonix: 1 line or 2 line or .. | 09:41 |
| hobbit-girl | .../facepalm I feel stupid... and I hate feeling stupid | 09:41 |
| garhol | hobbit-girl: when you restart the computer, as soon as you get the display showing something then look for an option for setup (something like F1, F2 or similar) hit that then have a look through the screens that follow for a boot order page and rearrange to suit | 09:41 |
| airtonix | dehqan, its an interesting idea and one that might be addressed in some guides for running a apt-get mirror repository | 09:42 |
| hobbit-girl | it showed no options.. that seemed obvious at first.. it just went to my fedora startup screen | 09:42 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Should that driver installer still be running? My computer's slow, but... This is taking a while | 09:42 |
| airtonix | dehqan, but right now my only idea would be to make a script that scans the jaunty file list and then looks for matching files in your cache then moves them when it finds them | 09:42 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl you have to press some key while very first startup of your pc | 09:43 |
| dehqan | airtonix: am not programmer | 09:43 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, did you say it was a usb wifi card ? | 09:43 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl that key may be esc, f1 or f9 or f10 depend on pc | 09:43 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Yeah | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: if you have fedora on the machine.. and only used it for 2 days - why are you switchign to ubuntu allready? | 09:43 |
| psycho_oreos | ShadowOfBlood, can you pastebin your lsusb output? | 09:44 |
| garhol | hobbit-girl: k, it's the very first thing you will see. you can always try the standard bios access keys, F12, F11, ESC, F1, F2. there may even be a quick boot option in there. push those a few times (seperately_ as soon as the computer boots. | 09:44 |
| airtonix | dehqan, thats unfortunate. maybe you should research some stuff about apt-mirror then, some guides might talk about keeping a repository clean and give you an idea how to seperate files | 09:44 |
| * abhi_nav agreed to the question of Dr_Willis | 09:44 | |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: One sec | 09:44 |
| hobbit-girl | because fedora is not compatible with my game | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: at the very first few boot screens there should be some mssages at the bottom 'hit F8 for Boot Menu/options' for example | 09:44 |

| hobbit-girl | tried wine, tried crossover games | 09:45 |
| sergei | Hello have a question if somebody could help, just installed ubuntu 9.10 and then amarok, but nothing plays | 09:45 |
| hobbit-girl | I did.. they told me they had similar problems usuing fedora as a gaming platform | 09:45 |
| sergei | is this amarok issue and i'm in the wrong chat arent I? | 09:46 |
| airtonix | hobbit-girl, have you looked at the winhq page for it ? | 09:46 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-gril so no solution at all? ok then install ubuntu | 09:46 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: Ifconfig returns eth0 and lo with a bunch of information for each | 09:46 |
| hobbit-girl | yes, and it all suggests usuing ubuntu | 09:46 |
| dnivra | sergei, maybe you should elaborate and ask simultaneously in #amarok too. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: i had it working once on ubuntu.. but havent tried it lately. Ive heard LOTOR is working much better in wine/ubuntu now :) | 09:46 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl but have you make sure that now that game is compatible with ubuntu's wine? | 09:46 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, i assume that means the wifi card is not installed yet... what does iwconfig say ? | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: i just logged out of LOTRO also :) Im 'Medico' on Arkenstone server | 09:47 |
| hobbit-girl | yes it is... 1/2 my kinship uses ubuntu | 09:47 |
| ShadowOfBlood | airtonix: lo and eth0, both "No wireless extensions" | 09:47 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-gril ok | 09:47 |
| hobbit-girl | I am Freyjanna (hobbit warden) on the Brandywine server | 09:47 |
| Jon- | Wow | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: thats good to hear. Last i tried it on ubuntu 5+mo ago. it was MUCH slower on linux, then on windows | 09:47 |
| Jon- | And I thought I was a harsh nerd. Haha. | 09:47 |
| Jon- | Kidding. :D | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: now if only they would dump that silly .net launcher. | 09:48 |
| airtonix | hobbit-girl, are you using mines of moria ? | 09:48 |
| ddrj | what desktop do u guys use more? kde / gnome / other? | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ddrj: try them all - see what you like | 09:48 |
| airtonix | ddrj, a string on a can | 09:48 |
| ddrj | lol | 09:48 |
| hullo | hello any lirc gurus here? | 09:48 |
| hobbit-girl | Dr: can I pm you? I just switched from microshaft.. and I have TONS of lotro questions | 09:48 |
| airtonix | hobbit-girl, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14566 | 09:48 |
| ddrj | alright i'll try them all | 09:48 |
| Jon- | ddrj: I like GNOME, but I've only tried the other ones briefly and only used ubuntu for a month | 09:48 |
| abhi_nav | ddrj: gnome | 09:48 |
| airtonix | !best | ddrj | 09:48 |
| ubottu | ddrj: 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. | 09:48 |
| sergei | hi guys, just installed amarok, had it retrieve all my media files now when I load the playlist I get an error message "no track playing"...and its not lying nothing is playing :( | 09:48 |
| ddrj | niceee, i'll start with gnome hah | 09:49 |
| ddrj | ahh ok sorry about that airtonix | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: i dont have it running on ubuntu at this time. as for general linux questions ask the channel thats what they are here for | 09:49 |
| sergei | dnivra, thanks wasnt sure if I was going to get in trouble | 09:49 |
| airtonix | ddrj, its just that 'best' is subjective. | 09:49 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl also have a look here: linux.org, tldp.org etc | 09:49 |
| hobbit-girl | air: checked all that... I just need to be running ubuntu | 09:49 |
| hobbit-girl | and that is my primary problem... geting it to boot so I can reinstall | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: there should be some key to get to bios. set your pc to boot the cd first.. is also one way | 09:50 |
| airtonix | hobbit-girl, keep that page bookmarked... they are usually helpful (specially for online games since they change fast) | 09:50 |
| mujtaba | I am having a problem with Network manager, I want to prevent it from accessing the tun0 interface | 09:50 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl so have you enable cd boot now | 09:50 |
| garhol | hobbit-girl: reboot, wait for the beep press the functions keys in sequence and ESC. one of them should get you in there. | 09:50 |
| onaogh | !s Law.Abiding.Citizen.DVDRip.XviD-ARROW | 09:51 |
| abhi_nav | whats that? | 09:51 |
| garhol | once you get into the bios disable fast boot so that you can see the bios access info in future if needed. | 09:51 |
| hobbit-girl | argh.. sensory overload | 09:51 |
| onaogh | wrong channel , sorry | 09:51 |
| airtonix | ShadowOfBlood, at this point i would interupt the installer and restart it, see if it lists the driver as installed...then remove it and then restart the machine. | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: you play mMORPGS and call this overload? :) | 09:51 |
| hobbit-girl | its overload cause 10 people are asking my questions at once | 09:51 |
| hobbit-girl | and its stuff I am unfamliar with | 09:52 |
| abhi_nav | hobbit-girl | 09:52 |
| hobbit-girl | at least in lotro, I know what the heck is going on.. | 09:52 |
| garhol | hobbit_girl: role 2 * D6 and select the winning info from that :) | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: how did fedora get on the machine? | 09:52 |
| hobbit-girl | I installed it this am | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: from cd? | 09:52 |
| hobbit-girl | yes, from CD | 09:53 |
| garhol | Dr_Willis: Bingo :) | 09:53 |
| hobbit-girl | my friend wiped my PC clean... | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: then im guessing you burnt the ubuntu cd wrong. If yoru system is set to boot from cd.. it should do so. | 09:53 |
| abhi_nav | ???? | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: you could do that I guess :) and then it has to boot from cd.. or perhaps he hit some key vombo and made it boot from cd. | 09:53 |
| peter007 | hello wassup | 09:53 |
| hobbit-girl | I will retry rebooting with all the F keys | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: see what files are on the ubuntu cd first. Pop it in . look and tell us whats on it. | 09:54 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis: second guess might be right | 09:54 |
| peter007 | having troulbe with thunderbird 3 | 09:54 |
| peter007 | anyone experienced problems? | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: if you see a large ISO file on the cd.. youburnt it wrong | 09:54 |
| garhol | peter007: can you be more specific? | 09:54 |
| abhi_nav | !ask | peter007 | 09:54 |
| ubottu | peter007: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:54 |
| peter007 | not a problem with the program per sy, but migrating form (stupid)windowsxp | 09:54 |
| hobbit-girl | I see an isolinux folder | 09:54 |
| Jon- | hobbit-girl: Use imgburn to make your life easy http://www.imgburn.com/ | 09:54 |
| peter007 | its a local folder thing | 09:55 |
| Jon- | hobbit-girl: That will burn the ISO properly, just start it and choose write image to disk. | 09:55 |
| joot | I just got the latest kernel update for karmic and now my window resize buttons are missing. is there a work around please? | 09:55 |
| abhi_nav | !details | peter0077 | 09:55 |
| ubottu | peter0077: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:55 |
| hobbit-girl | I used the CD creater to burn the image file | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Jon-: i think she just said she has fedora only. (i think) | 09:55 |
| peter007 | is there a way to auto mount my drive partition with my local folders, ....as its getting a bit much having to type my password every time to mount the drive to get thunderbird to work | 09:55 |
| Jon- | Dr_Willis: OOPS. | 09:55 |
| peter007 | (work= see my local folders) | 09:55 |
| peter007 | oh sorry, | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: what cd-creator? Fedoras? Well check the ubuntu cd. and see whats on it | 09:56 |
| Jon- | hobbit-girl: Ignore previous comment. Thought you were on Win. | 09:56 |
| peter007 | Ubuntu ver 9.10 | 09:56 |
| hobbit-girl | fedora's cd creator | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: definatly check the cd then. It may not been properly burnt | 09:56 |
| abhi_nav | hmm | 09:56 |
| VCoolio | peter007: put a line in /etc/fstab | 09:56 |
| peter007 | ahhh.......ok will try | 09:57 |
| hobbit-girl | okay... I got folders.... names of folders: isolinux pics pool preseed | 09:57 |
| peter007 | :) | 09:57 |
| peter007 | um.....sorry, um....where do I put in that line...? | 09:57 |
| VCoolio | peter007: like: /dev/??? /mount/point fstype user,defaults 0 0 | 09:57 |
| VCoolio | peter007: you have the partition mounted now? | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: You Might want to try reburning the iso file to cd. if fedora has k3b try that tool. Or try just rightlclicking on the iso and see if it has a 'burn to cd' menu item | 09:57 |
| peter007 | mounted now = no | 09:58 |
| VCoolio | peter007: anyway, mount it, then run "mount" and see what the /dev entry is for your partition and what the mount point is (where you can browse the partition) | 09:58 |
| hobbit-girl | how do I know if it was burned correctly? | 09:58 |
| peter007 | should it be mounted first initially? | 09:58 |
| Jon- | hobbit-girl: If you try to boot from it and it works. :P | 09:58 |
| VCoolio | peter007: no, just now for seeing what to put in fstab | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: well if it worked... :) thats a clue.. since it isent even booting.. you need to be SURE the pc is set to boot from the cd. | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: right now - its possible your friend hit some key vombo to get i to boot from cd that one time. | 09:58 |
| hobbit-girl | and how do I do that??? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: or its possible the cd is set to boot first..and the cd is bad | 09:59 |
| hobbit-girl | just reboot and go through all the F commands in order? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: THE pc's bios has settings.. and there should/may be some keys to hit to tell it what to boot first at the bios screens | 09:59 |
| Jon- | hobbit-girl: Make sure it is set to boot from CD before hard-drive from BIOS. Tap F1/F2/DEL/ESC [just hit em all :P] until you see the setup then look for a boot menu. | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: boot and watch the text at the bottom closely | 09:59 |
| X-Raimo | hi all! I need to know how Xubuntu is usable for Server? I need Terminal Server (LTSP+TFTP+DHCP), DNS Server, and DB (MySQL) Server. Are needed packages available in Xubuntu's repos? Or better to use Debian for this? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hobbit-girl: or check the pc makers docs/homepage to see what keys do what | 09:59 |
| hobbit-girl | okay.. I will try... I will be back... | 09:59 |
| joot | I just got the latest kernel update for karmic and now my window resize buttons are missing. is there a work around please? | 10:00 |
| hobbit-girl | thanks you all... *hugs* | 10:00 |

| ubottu | MaDDi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 10:03 |
| abhi_nav | joot: i mean there is setting in compiz to enable or disable window resize | 10:03 |
| MaDDi | WHAT THE? | 10:03 |
| joot | MaDDi : you will get your self banned | 10:03 |
| MaDDi | weird im new to this | 10:03 |

| MaDDi | why do ppl talk like tht? | 10:04 |
| abhi_nav | like you? | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | MaDDi: read what people say.... and read the topic of the channels you join | 10:04 |

| darolu | Is there a way to change the timer in the "indicator-applet-session" applet? (what you use to shutdown in 9.10) | 10:04 |
| dnivra | MaDDi, it's sort of IRC etiquette. | 10:04 |
| MaDDi | *ignores* | 10:04 |
| dnivra | MaDDi, maybe you should read what ubuntu has to say on it. | 10:04 |
| abhi_nav | joot: gnome,kde? | 10:05 |
| VCoolio | darolu: in gconf-editor, apps > indicator etc I think | 10:05 |
| MaDDi | what? | 10:05 |
| joot | abhi_nav: Gnome | 10:05 |
| abhi_nav | MaDDi: ask if you have any question | 10:05 |
| MaDDi | r u nrds pr something | 10:05 |
| dnivra | MaDDi, for your own good: don't follow IRC etiquette and you'll be ignored. | 10:05 |
| MaDDi | i thought this was a chat site | 10:06 |
| darolu | VCoolio: thanks it helps, I can eliminate the confirmation dialog; do you know if I can add new values there? | 10:06 |
| peter007 | VCoolio hi | 10:06 |
| abhi_nav | joot: as per my info there is no resize button. i get mouse pointer to windows border then mouse icon changes and then i resize by clicking on it | 10:06 |
| dnivra | MaDDi, read the topic of the channel. | 10:06 |
| peter007 | run mount from terminal? | 10:06 |
| MaDDi | how do i put skype on? | 10:06 |
| VCoolio | darolu: I don't know of that, maybe rightclicking the applet does something useful? (I don't have the applet now) | 10:06 |
| peter007 | also fstab is read only | 10:06 |
| abhi_nav | MaDDi you are on irc since 33 weeks. dont fool us | 10:06 |
| VCoolio | peter007: yes, just 'mount' in a terminal and check the output for your partition; to edit fstab run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and you'll have a text editor with root permissions | 10:07 |
| joot | abhi_nav: I just restarted into metacity and the buttons came back how bizzarre is that??? | 10:07 |
| darolu | VCoolio: right clicking just displays the usual info (who made it and the name of the applet). Thanks a lot, killing the confirmation box is very nice. | 10:08 |
| abhi_nav | joot: then use metacity. | 10:09 |

| Dr_Willis | mu gdm ? and #ubuntu+1 for 10.04 | 10:10 |
| perlsyntax | yes | 10:11 |
| peter007 | i think the partition is /dev/sda1 | 10:11 |
| peter007 | or /dev/sda5 | 10:11 |
| perlsyntax | Does anyone know how to i don't see it. | 10:11 |
| peter007 | ok fstab is open | 10:12 |
| joot | abhi_nav: I will use metacity... I do have compiz but it was on VERY basic and was causing no problem until this evenings update. I changed to meta city but did not restart until later then it became ok again (in metacity) | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont think anyone knows what 'mu gdm' is | 10:12 |
| dnivra | Dr_Willis, I think it's "my gdm" maybe? | 10:12 |
| VCoolio | peter007: if you browse the partition in a file browser, what folder do you need to go to? It should be behind the /dev in the mount command; be sure if it's sda1 or sda5 | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | dnivra: thats why i asked for clarification :) | 10:12 |
| abhi_nav | joot: ok. but if you want compiz then go to compiz setting and enable windows resize. | 10:13 |
| dnivra | Dr_Willis, ok. | 10:13 |

| abhi_nav | joot: Welcome. :) | 10:13 |
| peter007 | its /dev/sda1 | 10:14 |
| peter007 | ok, now you said to add a line? | 10:15 |
| VCoolio | peter007: now add a line like: /dev/sda1 /mount/point fstype user,defaults 0 0 | 10:15 |

| VCoolio | peter007: for /mount/point use the path to the partition, probably /media/something | 10:15 |
| peter007 | should it be /dev/sda1 /mount/point fstype user,defaults 0 0 | 10:15 |
| peter007 | ah yes, media | 10:15 |
| VCoolio | peter007: for fstype use the filesystem type, like ntfs or ext3 | 10:15 |
| peter007 | /media/5A6C00BC6C0094C3 | 10:16 |
| peter007 | ntfs | 10:16 |
| peter007 | so far line is looking like this: /dev/sda1/media/5A6C00BC6C0094C3 | 10:17 |
| VCoolio | peter007: ok, then: /dev/sda1 /media/5A6etc ntfs user,defaults 0 0 << should be it, mind the spaces | 10:17 |
| VCoolio | peter007: no space between user,defaults | 10:18 |
| peter007 | ok entire line reads : /dev/sda1/media/5A6C00BC6C0094C3 ntfs user,defaults 0 0 | 10:18 |
| peter007 | that should be it right? | 10:18 |
| VCoolio | peter007: yep | 10:18 |
| peter007 | COOL! | 10:18 |
| VCoolio | peter007: no | 10:18 |
| brjann | misterB: yes, you can do that with lsusb at the command line. type lsusb -v | less and scroll through, looking for the name of the device you want. a few lines under that will be a line starting with bcdUSB, either 2.00 or 1.10 | 10:18 |
| peter007 | tyvm | 10:18 |
| erUSUL | misterB: dmesg messages should tell yu | 10:18 |
| VCoolio | peter007: put a space between sda1 and /media | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | proper spaceing is critical to proper linux ussage :) | 10:18 |
| garhol | misterB: lsusb can do that. for a quick fix, unplug, replug and then tail /etc/var/logs (i'm guessing a USB2 is giving usb 1 speeds) | 10:19 |

| marlen | beginner with linux | 10:34 |
| Roffe | Hello! I recenly Installed Ubuntu and had some Display issues, How do I know if the driver is actually Installed? | 10:34 |
| Roffe | I have ATI Card | 10:34 |
| overmind | marlen: This is not a thing you'll need to edit with linux, is with browser, you'll need to edit router's menu, go to router's menu via "192.168.100.1" or "192.168.1.1". Normally are this IPs | 10:34 |
| psycho_oreos | marlen, that's got nothing to do with linux, read your router manual | 10:34 |
| overmind | marlen: Put one of this IPs in firefox's links bar | 10:35 |
| marlen | ok | 10:35 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, usually hardware drivers will show you if you're using a proprietary driver or not | 10:35 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: yeah but it does not show anything there | 10:35 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: does this mean there aint no proprietary drive available? | 10:36 |
| pioner5552 | hi all! | 10:36 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, possibly yes, meaning you're probably going to be stuck with the radeon driver | 10:36 |
| rumpsy | How to convert video files to 3gp format, i need a app or tool | 10:37 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: yeah... maybe I was dumb installing 8.04 | 10:37 |
| overmind | rumpsy: Install ffmpeg and winff | 10:37 |
| rumpsy | overmind: okay, i'll install it first and i'll back to you | 10:38 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, sometimes the free driver works better or supports older cards better than the proprietary one, this case is very true for ati chipsets | 10:38 |
| overmind | rumpsy: Ok | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: ive used winff to do it. but had to rename the extension to be proper for my phone | 10:38 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: yeah... It was weird that I had to change some things in xorg to actually get the display to work | 10:39 |
| Kitt | hello - my mouse pointer is invisible :( | 10:40 |
| orion_SuN | ppa for last stable kernel os kubuntu 9.10 ??? | 10:40 |
| alexis | eny1 know how to install l2 ??i have the l2 dvd | 10:40 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, you might face similar issues if you use updated version, it all depends on your chipset.. considering you have edited xorg, are you using radeon? if so that may be the only choice available with latter versions of ubuntu on that same box | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | alexis: 12? what 12 dvd? | 10:41 |
| alexis | L2 dvd | 10:41 |
| overmind | Kitt: System >> Preferences >> Theme, then edit theme in mouse tab | 10:41 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: well the thing is that this is actually Kubuntu but no one answered me in that channel I just thought that it's quite the same | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | alexis: and whats a L2 dvd? | 10:42 |
| Kitt | okay - thanks i'll give that a go | 10:42 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, heh only difference between ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu and soon lubuntu is just a matter of different frontends.. they all share the same base more or less | 10:42 |
| marlen | I'm trying but it can't connect.. | 10:42 |
| Kitt | be back shortly...have to reboot the beasty | 10:42 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: I've tried ubuntu 9.10 on this computer and it worked great, however I like the old KDE more than Gnome but I hate the new KDE | 10:42 |
| alexis | dr willis i meen i bought the game | 10:43 |
| overmind | marlen: Then try changing server | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | alexis: use wine - check the wine app database also to see if it even can work | 10:43 |
| alexis | dr willis i read forums and it seems to work | 10:43 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: is there anyway I could install Kubuntu 9.10 and still have the KDE from 8.04? | 10:44 |
| marlen | how can I do that? | 10:44 |
| adarsha | how do i switch between kdm and gdm? | 10:44 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, not really I'm afraid, it might work vice-versa but not easily | 10:44 |
| VCoolio | adarsha: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm << choose from the options that appear | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | adarsha: at one time . 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Not sure if that still works or not | 10:45 |
| Roffe | psycho_oreos: ok thx.... that's a shame because imo KDE has gotten alot worse over the years | 10:45 |
| psycho_oreos | Roffe, you might want to give lxde a try, in some ways it looks a little similar to kde3.5 | 10:45 |
| adarsha | VCoolio, Dr_Willis, thanks guys! :) | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | lxde more like kde 2 :) | 10:46 |
| === magnus_ is now known as hume | ||

| miha | i wonder why usb disks are so randomly being detected by ubuntu.. on xp they always appear when i plug them, not so in ubuntu... and how to manually mount them when they dont?? | 10:57 |
| nlko | mnt /mnt/usb /dev/sb1 ? | 10:58 |
| schurro | Lcawte: it does redirect to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 10:58 |
| miha | nlko probem is /dev/sdb1 only shows when ubuntu detects it | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | i have usb devices not get automounted.. but i can always mount them byhand.. thats odd miha ive never seen that issue | 10:59 |
| schurro | miha have u tried 'lsusb' in a terminal? | 11:00 |
| miha | Bus 002 Device 010: ID 1058:0702 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Passport External HDD | 11:00 |
| psycho_oreos | if ubuntu automounts it, it'll be /media not /mnt | 11:01 |
| miha | but doesnt show in any location in nautilus | 11:01 |
| psycho_oreos | use mount to check | 11:01 |
| schurro | miha there are also options to lsusb, try 'man lsusb' and look for the verbose options. that may tell u more. | 11:01 |
| miha | if i reboot, it will probably work | 11:01 |
| crackguy | is there a way to pass the password argument with sudo command in one line | 11:02 |
| miha | another thing... if usb disk is being inactive for few hours, it will not always mount it back | 11:02 |
| miha | again, reboot helps | 11:02 |
| crackguy | i want to skip the password prompt | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | crackguy: you can set up sudo to not need a password for some commands.. | 11:02 |

| crackguy | Dr_Willis, i want it to skip password prompt for insmod command | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | crackguy: you can set up sudo to not need a password for specific commands. for specific users I belive | 11:03 |
| overmind | Kitt: Try customising with compiz disabled, then enable again | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | crackguy: if you are loading a module. yu could just load it from rc.local | 11:03 |
| Kitt | sorry overmind, but i am a newb to this, what is compiz? | 11:04 |
| lordchavez | Maybe, some1 could help me, i got a metacity theme, how to apply it to gnome? A friend of mine said i can add it in someway, but unitl a few minutes ago i thought that metacity might be an own GUI? | 11:04 |
| overmind | !compiz | Kitt | 11:04 |
| ubottu | Kitt: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 11:04 |
| crackguy | hmm, Dr_Willis how can I find rc.local file | 11:04 |
| lordchavez | Or is it just a replacement for Cmopiz? | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | crackguy: its in /etc/ | 11:04 |
| lordchavez | !,etacoty | Me | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !modules | crackguy | 11:04 |
| ubottu | crackguy: To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates).

| Anirban | psycho_oreos : who can send this type of signals and why do they send them ? | 11:10 |
| psycho_oreos | Anirban, user or other daemons, they send them probably because its not needed or whatever else | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Anirban: when/where did you see the message? | 11:11 |
| brjann | crackguy, Dr_Willis: to load a module at boot time, it's not necessary to use rc.local. just add a line containing the name of the module to /etc/modules | 11:11 |

| rumpsy | wowoto: its not a valid theme | 11:38 |
| brjann | natrixnatrix89: a channel change was going to be my next suggestion. also, if you have access to the router administration page, see if there's a counter for successful/failed wireless packets | 11:38 |

| s3v | I've got the warning "Gave up waiting for root device" and am stuck in initramfs because it can't seem to find the boot partition sda2. However it does find the second uuid and links it correctly to sda5. How can this be resolved? | 11:40 |
| coz_ | wowoto, ok that author screwed things up | 11:40 |
| coz_ | wowoto, extract that package and inside the folder should be Chorme Lucidity and Lucidity Border | 11:40 |
| Stargaze | ha | 11:41 |
| wowoto | coz_: yes ,and what should i do then | 11:41 |
| coz_ | wowoto, then right click the Lucidy folder and compress to tar.gz | 11:41 |
| coz_ | wowoto, then open system / preferences / appearance and drag that new compressed file onto the window | 11:41 |
| coz_ | wow it should install | 11:41 |
| mityaz | . | 11:42 |
| coz_ | wowoto, then click the "Customize" button on the Appearance window and under the "Controls" tab it should be listed | 11:42 |
| wowoto | coz_: ok ,:) | 11:43 |
| coz_ | wowoto, if you want the window border for that compress the Lucidiy border file and do the same thing | 11:43 |

| wowoto | coz_: thank you so much :) | 11:43 |
| Stargaze | what's BCM 4312? | 11:43 |
| coz_ | wowoto, no problem...that was the author's screw up on that pacakge | 11:43 |
| shadeslayer | wowoto: broadcom 4312 | 11:43 |
| coz_ | which is happening way too often lately | 11:44 |
| wowoto | shadeslayer: ? | 11:44 |
| shadeslayer | wowoto: a wifi card | 11:44 |

| rumpsy | sorry | 11:45 |
| shadeslayer | wowoto: yeah :) | 11:45 |
| Stargaze | shadeslayer, you find some BCM packages in Synaptic | 11:45 |
| coz_ | wowoto, another theme to consider not yet in karmic but installable is the Radiance theme from Ubuntu lucid | 11:45 |

| switchgirl_ | my friend is a film maker he's gone on holiday and left me with a few clips to edit for him - just for fun - but he forgot my dvd r drive broke and i only have a dvd player drive atm, he has left the files on dvd for me while he's on holiday, is there a programme that can let me build a cache of the dvd and write them to file? | 11:45 |
| brjann | natrixnatrix89: okay, so you've had 300 errors for 9000 packets; i've had 150 errors for 3.9 million packets. so i'd try switching channels and see if that helps | 11:45 |
| coz_ | wowoto, i would google that first to take a look at it | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I hate that radience theme allready :) | 11:46 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, really? it fast and clean loooking | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | its ugly and moves things to the wrong side | 11:46 |
| ubuntu | Hi | 11:46 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, wrong side? | 11:46 |
| wowoto | radiance | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: it may or may not move all the buttons to the left side of the windows | 11:47 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, did you install the murrine update for that ? | 11:47 |
| ubuntu | I need some help please. I tryed to install mac on my computer. But it got stalled. So i had to restart halfway throught the install. Now my grub cant find the correct filesystem. How can i make it work again? ( So it shows windows and ubuntu) | 11:47 |
| Stargaze | i hated vista before it was on the market :) | 11:47 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, readiance has all of the buttons on the right side of the window | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: tried it on this pc. from some ppas - not checked the 10.04 netbook yet | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: that may change.. I definatly recall seeing them on the other side on one pc i instaled it on | 11:48 |

| coz_ | Dr_Willis, sorry that doesnt show the buttons hold on | 11:49 |
| ubuntu | Please some one? | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: thers been numerous ubuntu news sites saying that the stuff will get moved.. I have pcs with them moved.. and some with them not moved | 11:49 |
| natrixnatrix89 | brjann: but see: the camera that works normally has: tx: 67324; Rx:96222: and expired times: 273. So I guess it just has better connectivity and this really is a physical issue rather than configuration problem? | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | of course tthis is a work in progress :) so some ppa's and theme packages may be out of date allready | 11:50 |
| Stargaze | ubuntu, search google for 'ubuntu repair grub' | 11:50 |

| coz_ | wowoto, cool :) | 11:50 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshot1.png | 11:50 |
| Stargaze | ah, someone with dropbox | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: yes. I know what it looks like and what its supposed to look like. :) On this pc the buttons are on the right side.. but in the wrong order. so they look nasty. let me check the 10.04 box | 11:51 |
| brjann | natrixnatrix89: that's what i suspect, yes. changing channels can help immensely if the problem is interference from neighboring wifi networks, though. especially if you're on the most common default, channel 6 | 11:51 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, ooo sounds ugly :) | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: even when they are on teh proper side and order.. i find the buttuns ugly | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont need tiny tiny buttons :) | 11:52 |
| Paulo39 | hi, i have a simple question: when i enter on live cd session, if i do sudo grub-install -v on a terminal it outputs me the grub version? or do i have to mount some directories, etc? | 11:52 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, well for right now I use it but it will get old fast :) | 11:52 |
| natrixnatrix89 | brjann: I'm on channel 3. So there is no explanation for the fact that it works normally for some time after I have restarted the router? | 11:52 |
| alankila | Paulo39: the -v is probably for querying the verison of grub. | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: i find my self constantly going back to a few themes like bluecurve that i tweak a little. | 11:53 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, buttons for me are kind of old news since i use easystrok to open and close applications | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | theres way too much hype and nonsence over themes and artwork i think | 11:53 |
| denwerko | anyone know how can i run virtualbox machine "without GUI" | 11:53 |
| === joerg is now known as Guest52659 | ||
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, yeah I have a few old favorites | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | denwerko: without gui? | 11:53 |
| Stargaze | denwerko, try QEMU | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | denwerko: like kvm? | 11:53 |
| brjann | natrixnatrix89: hm. could be hardware failure on the router's part, i suppose, like overheating in the RF amplifiers | 11:53 |
| denwerko | shadeslayer: yeah, like that, but with virtualbox | 11:53 |
| shadeslayer | !kvm | denwerko | 11:54 |
| ubottu | denwerko: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 11:54 |
| Paulo39 | alankila: i know, but my question is, because i'm on a live session, do the system detect the grub installed on hard drive automatically or do i have to mount some directories before make sudo grub-install -v? | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Paulo39: you have todo a little work | 11:54 |
| alankila | Paulo39: if you execute that command, it will dump the version of the program. There is no further answer to it. | 11:54 |
| denwerko | shadeslayer: so, it isn't possible ? | 11:54 |
| arjona | eeeeeeee | 11:54 |
| arjona | eeeeeeee | 11:54 |
| arjona | eeeeeeeee | 11:54 |
| arjona | ols | 11:54 |
| natrixnatrix89 | brjann: Hmm. that could be the problem. Because the router is set to max in every setting. | 11:55 |
| arjona | ola | 11:55 |
| usrlocalbin | denwerko: if you use the non-ose version of virtualbox, there is a command called VBoxHeadless which allows you to start a vm without a gui | 11:55 |
| arjona | ola | 11:55 |
| arjona | hello | 11:55 |
| arand | !es | arjona | 11:55 |

| brjann | natrixnatrix89: i hope some of it helps :) good luck! | 11:55 |
| arjona | hello | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | denwerko: i saw a tutorial/guide on that on some ubuntu tutorial sites a few weeks back also | 11:55 |
| alankila | Paulo39: to elaborate, even if you mounted some filesystems, it would still not study the install on harddrive. Maybe if you mounted the root partition and chrooted to it and then executed the command, it would execute it from the harddisk | 11:55 |
| Paulo39 | Dr_Willis: what work do i have to do? | 11:55 |
| usrlocalbin | denwerko: yw.. good luck | 11:55 |

| Paulo39 | i'm afraid you are not understanding my question. It's just if , for example, when i enter on live session, and do grub-install -v in a terminal, does it able to tell me the version of grub or maybe, because the system is running from cd, i have to mount some directorie to the system find grub.. | 11:58 |

| usrlocalbin | denwerko: awesome... one thing I found a while ago, perhaps it was my comp, or perhaps it was virtualbox... if you have several vm's to start, i had used a script to just start all of them, place a sleep 10 between them. i f I didnt, i had sporadic problems with the network on the vms | 11:59 |

| s3v | How do you load extra modules from the grub boot line, and what modules do you need for proper sata detection? | 12:04 |
| erUSUL | !initramfs | 12:05 |
| erUSUL | !blacklist | 12:05 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 12:05 |

| lordchavez^afk | has some1 experiences with the gnome-global-menu applet? plz pm me | 12:05 |
| erUSUL | s3v: the module needed depends on the sata chip you are using | 12:06 |
| lordchavez^afk | because the preferences menu is empty when i try to activate the specific functinos | 12:06 |
| s3v | erUSUL: ok, i'll research further on that sata chip first :) | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | s3v: if your chip supports ahci mode use that (configurable in bios) it is the more linux compatible | 12:07 |

| erUSUL | srini: does not clear things up... that's the last thing you see before shutdown ? | 12:23 |
| Stargaze | madjoe, or try xubuntu | 12:23 |
| wowoto | coz_: thank you sooo much | 12:23 |
| madjoe | Stargaze: what's the main difference between xubuntu and ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: Desktop envoirment used. one uses gnome the other xfce | 12:24 |
| airtonix | madjoe, the other thing to look at is : 1) what benefits are you getting from compiz ? 2) can you achieve those benefits from other methods ? | 12:24 |
| Stargaze | xubuntu is faster than ubuntu, xubuntu uses xfce, ubuntu uses gnome | 12:24 |
| Stargaze | !xubuntu | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 12:24 |
| airtonix | Stargaze, to be honest thats pretty debatable | 12:24 |
| Stargaze | airtonix, what is? | 12:25 |
| duffydack | im playin around with kvm/virt-manager, but how do i create a disk somewhere else than /var/lib , I want it in my home | 12:25 |
| madjoe | airtonix: compiz means nothing but a pantie remover when I'd like to show off on weekends... hey, geeks should have a sex-life too! :) | 12:25 |
| airtonix | madjoe, so you only 'want' it and not 'need' it. | 12:26 |
| madjoe | airtonix: exactly | 12:26 |
| Stargaze | :) | 12:26 |
| Stargaze | madjoe, install chickbuntu ;) | 12:27 |
| madjoe | lol | 12:27 |
| BHoward | Its hard for me to live without the scale plugin. I guess ive got a compiz addiction though | 12:27 |
| madjoe | don't tell me it DOES exist... I'll kill myself instantly :D | 12:27 |
| BHoward | are you talking about hannah montana linux? | 12:27 |
| BHoward | lol | 12:27 |
| airtonix | madjoe, in any case, if you are having problems running compiz with your current setup then the only thing that will make noticeable improvement is more hardware memory or cpu...swap file wont be fast enough to give you the results you desire | 12:28 |
| fuorviatos | Can you tell me please how can I launch gdm from a recovery mode? | 12:28 |
| airtonix | BHoward, check out skippy | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo service gdm start fuorviatos | 12:28 |
| madjoe | airtonix: exactly what I had in mind... buying some extra RAM.. like let's say - another 2GB? | 12:28 |
| fuorviatos | I'm truing to do this via shell, but "start gdm" command doesn't make the trick | 12:29 |
| jeeez | how do i give a name to a system in my network, so that i don't have to access it with its IP everytime? | 12:29 |
| BHoward | airtonix: wow thats nice | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | fuorviatos: 'sudo service gdm start' perhaps | 12:29 |
| airtonix | madjoe, more ram is always good... i need lots of ram sicne i have nearly 20 program windows open on a light day | 12:29 |
| Stargaze | jeeez, try DynDNS | 12:29 |
| airtonix | BHoward, its great for openbox setups | 12:29 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I'm quite satisfied with my current setup of Ubuntu and I just can't wait for 10.4 release, since I'm on wubi now... my next installation will be a dedicated partition | 12:29 |
| orson | jeeez: add hostname/ip to /etc/hosts or adjust your dns | 12:29 |
| madjoe | airtonix: seems like we do the same job... web design? :) | 12:30 |
| fuorviatos | Dr_Willis, Ah so why "service" command not "start" ? | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | fuorviatos: the command IS | 12:30 |
| airtonix | madjoe, good to hear, i'd also dedicate the real setup to three partitions : 1st for swap, 2nd for system ( / ) 3rd for /home | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | fuorviatos: the command IS 'service' - Start is an OPTION to tell gdm what to do | 12:30 |
| airtonix | madjoe, yes | 12:30 |
| madjoe | airtonix: bingo! :) | 12:30 |
| Stargaze | i've done some webdesign myself | 12:30 |
| fuorviatos | Dr_Willis, Now I get this. Thanks | 12:31 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I feel sooo relieved with my 4 virtual desktops now... I wonder how could I ever work on a single desktop on my WinXP | 12:31 |
| airtonix | madjoe, what kind of graphics card do you have, this can greatly improve compiz performance just due to the speed of the gpu | 12:31 |
| * fuorviatos wonders if "start" is a standalone command. | 12:31 | |
| airtonix | madjoe, well there is virtual desktop programs for windows but they don't exactly do the same thing that the x11 concept does. | 12:32 |
| airtonix | madjoe, are you using video drivers from the ubuntu repository or the drivers created by the video card manufacturer ? | 12:32 |
| * Dr_Willis waits for MS to incopoprate virtual desktops - then patent the idea | 12:32 | |
| madjoe | airtonix: I think it's an NVIDIA card.. I'm not sure.. I'm on laptop Acer Aspire 9300 | 12:33 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, they have, but its not docuemented./ | 12:33 |
| erUSUL | Dr_Willis: windows powertoys includes a virtualdesktop utility since windowsXP days | 12:33 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I've downloaded some amd64 drivers for envidia | 12:33 |
| Stargaze | i just read, MS wants to patent 'Enter' | 12:33 |
| airtonix | madjoe, i'd confirm it is nvidia then install nvidia drivers from nvidia website or the ppa if supported | 12:33 |

| madjoe | airtonix: there is no support from the manufacturer (Acer) for a Linux driver | 12:36 |

| klawd | i'vebeen wondering: why is there no /etc/xorg.conf in the current ubuntu? | 12:38 |

| airtonix | dan_, try : ~/.purple/logs | 13:06 |
| DebiansArmy | OK, dont see how will have to read the wiki pages for ArchLinux... | 13:06 |
| airtonix | puser, if that doesn't do it for you, try wrapping that command in quotes | 13:06 |
| UbuntuDiscover | I tried tips i found in forums, but i didn'0t solve the problem :( | 13:07 |
| dan_ | how do i sarch airtonix? | 13:07 |
| puser | airtonix: so, what you are saying, ampercend (&) means that everything before it is a working path and after it a command? | 13:07 |
| airtonix | dan_, you have mroe than one file ? | 13:07 |
| UbuntuDiscover | since I got that VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx] i think it's an audio intel chipset, am I right? | 13:07 |
| DebiansArmy | linxeh: personnelly I feel the standard audio build in this motherboard sucks its a Nvidia.... | 13:07 |
| dan_ | airtonix it's not showing up | 13:08 |
| airtonix | puser, no ampersand in a command line means : run this & and then this | 13:08 |
| orson | airtonix: a single ampersand means "detach from temrinal" | 13:08 |
| UbuntuDiscover | hey guys just give me help for 5 minutes, then I will shut up and let you discuss about theory, ok? | 13:08 |

| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: I hear you ... just not sure if you should remove that module for audio and go with a new one | 13:09 |
| airtonix | puser, pretty much, i think there is another way to change the 'current working directory' (which is what you want to achieve) | 13:09 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: let me search .... | 13:09 |
| UbuntuDiscover | ok | 13:10 |

| puser | cd "/home/puser/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Nalogoplatelshik UL/INPUTDOC" & inputdoc.exe | 13:31 |
| airtonix | suigeneris, have a look on launchpad for package... you might find the bzr info there | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | DebiansArmy: ive rarely ever had any sound card issues. | 13:31 |
| suigeneris | !bazaar | 13:31 |
| orson | airtonix: don't use single ampersand in that case, it makes no sense | 13:31 |
| suigeneris | !bzr | 13:31 |
| ubottu | bzr is Bazaar-NG, a decentralized revision control system designed to be easy for developers and end users alike. Decentralized revision control systems give people the ability to work over the internet using the bazaar development model. See http://bazaar-vcs.org/QuickHackingWithBzr for a quickstart guide. | 13:31 |
| orson | airtonix: try it yourself what happens: "cd /tmp & ls" | 13:32 |
| abhi_nav | !sound | magi | 13:32 |
| ubottu | magi: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:32 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: need to look at the sound card appears there are different drivers for sound cards put out by intel... need to find the right driver module.. hold on | 13:32 |
| orson | airtonix: the "cd ..." part will be executed in a subshell, so it won't affect the part after the "&" | 13:32 |
| airtonix | puser, see the space in there ? it needs to be escaped with a forward slahs ; example : /path/with a space/to/somewhere/ becomes this : /path/with\ a\ space/to/somewhere | 13:32 |
| airtonix | orson, what do you recommend then | 13:33 |
| magi | alsa? | 13:33 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiansArmy: ok I'm here waiting, just give me feed back when you can :) | 13:33 |
| orson | airtonix: use ; in this case or a wrapper-script | 13:33 |
| magi | what does ALSA mean? | 13:33 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: ok run this fgrep -ie 'audio' /etc/group | 13:33 |
| abhi_nav | !alsa | magi | 13:33 |

| magi | I dont get it.... | 13:34 |
| abhi_nav | magi: alsa is used to control you sound decives | 13:34 |
| magi | how can I run ALSA? | 13:34 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: want to now your running pulse or oss | 13:34 |
| UbuntuDiscover | ubottu: I tried all the link u say, but the solution didn't solve the problems, plus alsa drivers to download are down now... the ftp link doesn't work :/ | 13:34 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:34 |
| orson | puser: why don't you call that file directly with full-path without cd? | 13:34 |
| UbuntuDiscover | magi try alsaconf | 13:34 |
| Frijolie | ubottu: I like the sound of your voice... | 13:35 |

| mgolisch | its asoundconf isnt it? | 13:35 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: sudo aplay -l | 13:36 |
| bazhang | Frijolie, lucid support in #ubuntu+1 | 13:36 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: what is the output is the sound card recongized or device not found...???? | 13:36 |
| UbuntuDiscover | http://paste.ubuntu.com/389596/ | 13:37 |
| UbuntuDiscover | I think it's recognised | 13:37 |
| mgolisch | yeah | 13:37 |
| puser | orson: because I need a program to be run from within it's own folder (working directory) in order so it accessess it's files, located in it's folder. If I just run it directly, like that: /folder/otherfolder/program.exe, it thinks that it runs from the desktop. | 13:37 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: its found it not sure you have the right driver... | 13:37 |
| mgolisch | puser: use a shellscript to start it then? | 13:38 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiansArmy: how can we find the right one? How can I disintall the one i got now? | 13:38 |
| orson | puser: then simply write a short script around it, place it at ~/bin and call that inside your *.desktop | 13:38 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiansArmy: but, still, I have to say it's work sometimes... | 13:38 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: do you hear any sound??? | 13:39 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiansArmy: It's really weird sometimes I boot and it works someothers it doesn't | 13:39 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiasArmy: at the moment I hear nothing | 13:39 |
| mgolisch | make sure your channels are not muted | 13:39 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: ok run this past me do you plug in surround sound??? | 13:39 |
| UbuntuDiscover | DebiansArmy, but if i restart my computer maybe it works, I don't know why, | 13:39 |
| puser | mgolisch, orson: OK, I will try. | 13:40 |
| magi | I installed gnome alsa mixer, but it seems that everything is working.... | 13:40 |
| magi | nothing is muted | 13:40 |
| UbuntuDiscover | no they're not muted | 13:40 |
| UbuntuDiscover | hey Debinas you mean if I've got the speaker plugged in? of course I have! | 13:40 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: do you use sorround sound??? | 13:40 |
| UbuntuDiscover | *Debian | 13:40 |
| UbuntuDiscover | no, no | 13:41 |
| UbuntuDiscover | two little speakers inside the monitor | 13:41 |
| puser | airtonix: I did: "/home/puser/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Налогоплательщик\ ЮЛ/INPUTDOC & inputdoc.exe" | 13:41 |
| puser | it said, no such file or folder | 13:41 |
| UbuntuDiscover | I mean, monitor has got integrated speaker | 13:41 |
| magi | !audio | 13:41 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| orson | puser try "cd /home/puser/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Налогоплательщик\ ЮЛ/INPUTDOC ; inputdoc.exe" | 13:41 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: can you get a pair of external speakers out and plug them in to test the sound card instead of these internal speakers???? | 13:42 |
| mgolisch | UbuntuDiscover: and you pluged those into the soundcard? or is this a laptop? | 13:42 |
| AgenteD | #ubuntu-br | 13:42 |
| UbuntuDiscover | no no no laptop | 13:42 |
| orson | puser: err, replace those \ with correct slashes for the path | 13:42 |
| UbuntuDiscover | I can plug other speakers, but I repeat sometimes these ones work! | 13:43 |
| UbuntuDiscover | now i ran alsamixer | 13:43 |
| UbuntuDiscover | and the master was low | 13:43 |

| UbuntuDiscover | but i still can't hear anything... | 13:43 |
| UbuntuDiscover | :/ | 13:43 |
| mgolisch | also make sure it doesnt show MM under the channel | 13:43 |
| DebiansArmy | mgolisch: its a desktop with monitor with built i speakers... | 13:43 |
| mgolisch | which means its muted | 13:43 |
| mgolisch | whats the anme of the soundcard alsamixer shows to you? i remember it shows this pulseaudio virtual sound device by default, so id make sure that the channels are not muted on the real alsa devices too | 13:44 |
| puser | orson, I tried renaming the folder to latin. Same problem, but I am trying on the sh file now | 13:44 |
| UbuntuDiscover | oh damn, it says MM | 13:45 |

| madjoe | airtonix: new Nvidia driver is much better.. I can see the difference during the rotation of my cube in compiz | 13:48 |
| mgolisch | yeah | 13:48 |
| orson | UbuntuDiscover: no answer = good news | 13:48 |
| steffan | Anarhist: use 'du' then | 13:48 |
| magi | can anyone help me pls with the audio problem? I have an hp laptop.. everything works except for the audio | 13:48 |
| UbuntuDiscover | orson: eh eh eh we've got a saying in Italy: no new, good new...lol | 13:48 |
| madjoe | airtonix: now I just have to buy some RAM and enable swap I guess | 13:48 |
| chris8 | Magi: what version ubuntu you running? | 13:49 |
| airtonix | madjoe, :) personally i prefer the desktop wall for switching virtual desktops and having the wallpaper & panels stationary | 13:49 |
| UbuntuDiscover | magi in my opinion you don't have alsa installed | 13:49 |
| mgolisch | Anarhist: if its a desktop you may use baobab which is a graphical disk usage analyzer | 13:49 |
| mathox | test | 13:49 |
| magi | the last one, 9.10 I guess | 13:49 |
| Anarhist | mgolisch, unfortunately it's not | 13:49 |
| airtonix | madjoe, once you have more ram the only reason you'll need a swap is to ensure hibernation and suspend/sleep works without problems | 13:49 |
| chris8 | UbunDiscoveryChannel: wasn't ALSA replaced with some new architecture? | 13:49 |
| mgolisch | Anarhist: k use du then | 13:49 |
| madjoe | airtonix: is there a quick option to switch compiz on/off? | 13:49 |
| mgolisch | :) | 13:49 |
| Stargaze | magi, try sudo apt-get install alsa | 13:49 |
| airtonix | madjoe, yep install fusion-icon | 13:49 |
| mathox_ | test for it | 13:49 |
| airtonix | madjoe, it' | 13:49 |
| steffan | Anarhist: I'm not aware of one simple command that will just show all files taking up large disk space, but doing your own work using 'du' should be enough to locate which files you need | 13:49 |
| airtonix | gah | 13:49 |
| DebiansArmy | just of users info on Wireless cards = Atheros has a series 9 card and a series 5 card so when they report wireless don't work any Aethros card that has a 9 in it should use a ath9k if the card has a 5 in it use the ath5k.... | 13:50 |
| magi | I did it | 13:50 |
| chris8 | magi: prolly need to rebooty | 13:50 |
| magi | oh kk let me try | 13:50 |
| airtonix | madjoe, if you add fusion-icon to your startup applications then you'll have a systray icon that lets you switch things up.. i assume you have compizconfig-settings-manager already ? | 13:50 |
| UbuntuDiscover | hey guys, I'm wondering: why the mixer was switched off by default???? Isn't a bit weird? (even if i think this is like a philosophic problem...) | 13:50 |
| MiMundoYYo | sorry about that if someone tried to help me..... | 13:50 |
| MiMundoYYo | I need some help with patching :) | 13:50 |
| mgolisch | UbuntuDiscover: thats normal | 13:50 |
| MiMundoYYo | rtl8187 says I need to patch but the patches are for .29 when Im running .31 | 13:50 |
| MiMundoYYo | do i still need to apply them? | 13:51 |
| mgolisch | UbuntuDiscover: its allways muted by default | 13:51 |
| FloodBot3 | MiMundoYYo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:51 |
| MiMundoYYo | that was the original question :) | 13:51 |
| Stargaze | reboot = the Windows-trick | 13:51 |
| mgolisch | UbuntuDiscover: its been like that for ages | 13:51 |
| UbuntuDiscover | Thanxs all for help, hope to be helpful as well one day | 13:51 |
| chris8 | Stargaze: is there an easier way to have the new drivers setup? | 13:51 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I have fusion-icon, but I don't see something like on/off compiz... I can only switch between window managers (emerald) | 13:51 |
| DebiansArmy | mgolisch: this is why I say I can do it cant explain it for soundcards.... | 13:51 |
| MiMundoYYo | [anyone] have any information? | 13:52 |
| Stargaze | chris8? | 13:52 |
| MiMundoYYo | lol | 13:52 |
| viktor | hi whats the service running vnc server on a normal ubuntu install, anything i could start or restart via ssh using the sudo /etc/init.d/*** start command | 13:52 |
| MiMundoYYo | does anyone have information | 13:52 |
| airtonix | madjoe, it wont be labeled on/off, what you;re looking for is the first menu dropout that lets you choose between compiz or metacity (or any other window manager you have installed) | 13:52 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I also have loose binding and indirect rendering for compiz, and I don't know when to use it and why | 13:52 |
| MiMundoYYo | ? | 13:52 |
| chris8 | Stargaze: if you make driver changes, don't you need to reboot to have the changes take effect? or is there an easier way? | 13:52 |
| mgolisch | viktor: its called vino its gnomes vnc server | 13:52 |
| viktor | cheers | 13:52 |
| Stargaze | chris8, i haven't followed, what drivers? | 13:53 |
| xtjacob | Hello everyone, I add this line to my xorg config file " Option "Monitor-LVDS1" "Monitor0"" and i'm told to replace the "LVDS1" with what I have by looking in my xorg log file, but i have no idea what im looking for can anyone help? | 13:53 |
| MiMundoYYo | [chris8] depends on what drivers | 13:53 |
| airtonix | madjoe, my assumption is that those bindings settings are for how compiz deals with textures | 13:53 |
| chris8 | sound drivers | 13:53 |
| madjoe | airtonix: wow! I did it... I don't have that cube anymore in Metacity... neat | 13:53 |
| UbuntuDiscover | the volume level command (the default one of ubuntu doesn't work, seems normal since I use alsa, right?) | 13:53 |
| jc-denton | how can i enter the grub boot menu and alter boot parameters w ubuntu 9.1? | 13:53 |
| MiMundoYYo | [chris8] doubt it; with unloading the currents and loading the news ones' | 13:53 |
| jc-denton | it seems to just load the kernel w/o any possiblity to interrupt it | 13:53 |
| UbuntuDiscover | jc-denton: i use a prog start up manager, but i have ubuntu 9.10 | 13:53 |
| Dr_Willis | jc-denton: hit shift or escape i think to get to the menu, then e i think to edit somthing | 13:53 |
| chris8 | ahhhhh could prolly reset those w/o much difficulty, as opposed to keyboard/mouse drivers :P | 13:54 |
| madjoe | airtonix: should I use those bindings if I'd like to gain more performance, or more quality? | 13:54 |
| aum | hello everyone... | 13:54 |
| jc-denton | Dr_Willis: escape didn't work | 13:54 |
| steffan | !hello > aum | 13:54 |
| ubottu | aum, please see my private message | 13:54 |
| jc-denton | UbuntuDiscover: default setup here | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | jc-denton: i always set my grub menu to always show. So i rarely ahjve the issue :) | 13:54 |
| MiMundoYYo | [chris8] lol yes....keyboard drivers would be pretty difficult :P but doable as well... | 13:54 |
| jc-denton | ah shift did it | 13:54 |
| MiMundoYYo | vnc for example... | 13:54 |
| jc-denton | why didn't escape work | 13:54 |
| chris8 | and heaven forbid you make a mistake :p | 13:54 |
| IdleOne | jc-denton: because shift did :) | 13:55 |
| jc-denton | Dr_Willis: I don't set anything, I expect it to work | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | jc-denton: why not ask why they even bother to hide it. :) | 13:55 |
| MiMundoYYo | [chris8] i dont think keyboard drivers could cause a kernel panic so you are fine :P | 13:55 |
| aum | how to filter software updates...for example i don't want updates for firefox. | 13:55 |
| * MiMundoYYo sad to see that noone can help with my patching problems | 13:56 | |
| abhi_nav | aum: deselect that updates | 13:56 |
| MiMundoYYo | [aum] gui o tui? | 13:56 |
| chris8 | yeah but good luck fixing an error once you pooch it up :P | 13:56 |
| jc-denton | ok thx for help | 13:56 |
| jc-denton | also when I restart it, the bios seems to hang | 13:56 |
| aum | anyway, gui or tui... | 13:56 |
| puser | orson, airtonix, mgolish: Thank You. Shellscript helped. | 13:56 |
| jc-denton | did anybody have similar problems? | 13:56 |
| MiMundoYYo | [chris8] there is enough documentation now to fix normal common problems | 13:57 |

| DebiansArmy | Dr_Willis: there hiding it behind the fance splash screen, but most of these issues are going to be resolved in 10.04 hopefully.... 9.10 seems like a testing ground for udev, and upstart... heard Lucid Lynx boots in 8 seconds... | 13:57 |
| jc-denton | aaaaargh | 13:58 |
| aum | can you tell me both the way....gui or tui... | 13:58 |
| jc-denton | how can I reset the password for the keyring? | 13:58 |
| DebiansArmy | jc-denton: that is why I use Arch Linux so I can see what is loaded... | 13:58 |
| MiMundoYYo | gui has already been stated: deselect each update | 13:58 |
| aum | ok... | 13:58 |
| MiMundoYYo | tui would be somewhat of the oppostie; you have to state which update you want to select | 13:59 |

| airtonix | puser, in the preferences of nautilus | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | DebiansArmy: i have.. and they always add in lots of new stuff befor they do a LTS. they DONT want to add new stuff to a lts if they can help it | 14:01 |
| viktor | what does this mean? ** (gdm-binary:6751): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager | 14:01 |
| madjoe | airtonix: when I switch from Compiz to Metacity I can't right-click on my desktop to see that dialogue box and I can't see my icons | 14:01 |
| drewby | are there any plans to add more window management features to ubuntu? | 14:01 |
| DebiansArmy | Dr_Willis: I jump a lot from Distro to Distro, but I must admit Arch Linux seems to be the only one I go back to time after time .... next stop Slackware... | 14:01 |
| MiMundoYYo | [aum] well you could add a wildcard such as * and NOT firefox for example... | 14:01 |
| airtonix | madjoe, can you open the run box with alt + f2 ? | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | drewby: gnome3 will proberly be the next big change.. and its still in a work in progress | 14:01 |
| madjoe | yes | 14:01 |
| Dr_Willis | DebiansArmy: i got sick of arch and came back to ubuntu. | 14:01 |
| airtonix | madjoe, its beacuse nautilus has died (its supposed to auto restart when it dies) in the run box type nautilus | 14:02 |
| MiMundoYYo | are you trying to make a shellscript or something for this? | 14:02 |
| DebiansArmy | Dr_Willis: what???? are you crazy??? why??? | 14:02 |
| IdleOne | puser: You can turn off the delete in right-click menu item in nautilus preferences. | 14:02 |
| madjoe | airtonix: I did | 14:02 |
| Stargaze | puser, try alt-f2 gconf-editor, then applications > nautilus > preferences > confirm trash | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | DebiansArmy: i saw no benifits for me using arch. and had numerous issues. | 14:03 |
| airtonix | madjoe, then you need to work out why its not starting properly, try this : open a terminal and run nautilus from there (it should print a whole load of guff ) | 14:03 |
| madjoe | airtonix: (nautilus:7862): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed | 14:04 |
| madjoe | airtonix: and it raised a nautilus window | 14:04 |
| MiMundoYYo | why am i giving help, everyone is getting help and im trying to get some help but noone even tries to address my issue? :S | 14:04 |
| airtonix | madjoe, ok one more thing to try before panic mode : delete the session file that nautilus tries to load each time it starts | 14:04 |
| airtonix | madjoe, one sec while i work out where it is | 14:04 |
| DebiansArmy | Dr_Willis: well they tend to be only geared to a select number of hardware and devices... as along with a limited number of programs... but if you can figure out what they use it makes life easy... | 14:04 |
| airtonix | madjoe, ok it opens the home folder but not your desktop icons ? | 14:05 |
| dupondje | Is there any other software than SynCE to sync a windows mobile device with Evolution ? | 14:05 |

| UbuntuDiscover | hey guys what was the command to identify audio autoput devices... something like cat/proc/sound.... and then? | 14:06 |
| airtonix | madjoe, i suspect that the process controlling the desktop icons is in zombie mode , or that the session file is corrupted.. | 14:06 |
| mgolisch | id try to kill all nautilus processes and then start it again | 14:06 |
| madjoe | airtonix: ok, how do I clear session :) | 14:06 |
| DebiansArmy | UbuntuDiscover: there all on this page http://www.64studio.com/node/1069 | 14:06 |
| airtonix | madjoe, need to observe that there is more than one nautilus session running: try this in terminal first : sudo killall nautilus -9 | 14:07 |
| airtonix | madjoe, i mean you need to make sure they are all stopped | 14:07 |
| madjoe | airtonix: ps -aux | grep nautilus returns nothing | 14:07 |
| airtonix | madjoe, another variation on that is : ps -fe | grep nautilus | 14:08 |

| Dr_Willis | DebiansArmy: its not every release. They like to put in the features that people want in a logical way. and you DONT want lots of testing stuff in the LTS releases.. its all about 'LTS' | 14:11 |
| airtonix | madjoe, nothing in the ~/.config/session-state directory at all ? | 14:11 |

| MiMundoYYo | I have a rtl8187 and the wiki says I have to patch these drivers. BUT the patches ar for .29 while I have .31 and AFAIK I cant patch if it is a different kernel. Do I have to patch or are they included in the kernel o r what? | 14:24 |

| arvind_khadri | !ops co_biasa_ is giving on join spam | 14:25 |
| abhi_nav | MiMundoYYo I dont know much of this, but have you treid patching them? | 14:25 |
| gettingby | the monitor is LG | 14:26 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: It should be forbidden to uninstall software that breaks software, shouldn't it? | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: i never see it ask for a password any more. It does ask to save/rember them for ssh/ftp/samba shares and stuff. | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: ive seen people do so many silly things in here.. so no thats not the case | 14:26 |
| MiMundoYYo | [abhi_nav] i dont want to patch as they are for different kernels. I also dont know how to patch correctly because i once patched my 4965 drivers but with step-by-step while the wiki for the rtl8187 just says to patch them | 14:26 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: I got my uBuntu box screwed up because I uninstalled GIMP and installed a newer version. Yes, things break on uBuntu very easily... | 14:27 |
| === k is now known as Guest37908 | ||
| Guest37908 | ravigehlot, gimp-dev? 2.7? | 14:27 |
| === faulhel is now known as Guest62153 | ||
| abhi_nav | MiMundoYYo read in the release notes if they are included in new kernerl or not | 14:28 |
| ravigehlot | Guest37908: YES...the windows were messed up somehow.... | 14:28 |
| DebiansArmy | magi: whats going on?? | 14:28 |
| MiMundoYYo | as a general rule abhi_nav should they be included? | 14:28 |
| ravigehlot | Then I had a another problem when I uninstalled compiz...all windows screwed up. I mean, if needed software MUST not be uninstalled then at least warn the end-user!!!!!!!!! | 14:28 |
| rdz | hi all. the directory /dev/disk/by-uuid disappeared for some reason. what services creates that directory? | 14:29 |
| xanii | que mes ntaiis cntandooo surmanos? | 14:29 |
| rdz | funny enough, filesystems are still mounted by using uuid | 14:29 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: That is created on the fly | 14:29 |
| abhi_nav | MiMundoYYo I said I dont know much about this. I am just trying to help with some possiblity. Try everything you can....................... | 14:29 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: plug an USB and something else will show there | 14:29 |
| niladam | hello | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ravigehlot: most likely you needed to set the user to use metacity instead. but i was thinking that issue got fixed in 9.10 | 14:29 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, that is what i expected.. but what daemon does it? | 14:29 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Is clamav the only antivirus avalible from the default ubuntu reposotories? | 14:30 |
| niladam | I'm trying to setup a shoutcast server and i can't seem to find out what my Line-In is (/dev/...what?) | 14:30 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: Far from fixed....another problem? The new updates which brought a newer GTK BROKE Eclipse's execution... | 14:30 |
| MiMundoYYo | [Cyber_Akuma] clamav is one of the few avs for linux | 14:30 |
| rdz | ravigehlot,now the whole directory is missing.. there is no point in attaching a usb drive | 14:30 |
| ravigehlot | Dr_Willis: I had to find a work around to launch Eclipse correctly | 14:30 |
| abhi_nav | Cyber_Akuma: but you dont need anti virus | 14:30 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: DUDE....that was a FREAKING example!!! | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | dont use ecipse.. so its a non issue to me | 14:30 |
| === erwan is now known as roanito | ||
| ravigehlot | rdz: stuff on /dev gets created on the fly... | 14:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma | abhi_na An antivirus to scan for windows viruses | 14:31 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: you plug an USB and stuff shows there. | 14:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | MiMundoYYo : What are the others? I was using a livecd that had 4 but it wasnt working | 14:31 |
| Imaginativeone | how do I use ALL of my disks? | 14:31 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, yeah.. but what services creates directories inside /dev? | 14:31 |
| MiMundoYYo | [Cyber_Akuma] oops ignore that | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav | Imaginativeone: store lots of movies | 14:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ? | 14:31 |
| MiMundoYYo | there a alot nw it seems | 14:31 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: I don't know what created that. Why do you care? | 14:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma | heh | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav | Cyber_Akuma: ok | 14:31 |
| warddr | rdz, I think it's the kernel itself | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | I think theres at least 2 AV tools out there. Clam and.. some other company i recall using. AVG? perhaps? had a free linux version | 14:32 |
| Cyber_Akuma | But is clamav the only one in the linux reposotories? | 14:32 |
| MiMundoYYo | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antivirus_software | 14:32 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, because it used to be there and i mount fs' using uuids | 14:32 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I didn't see fprot, avg, bde, or avira in the reposotories | 14:32 |
| MiMundoYYo | [Cyber_Akuma] problable as it is free and OS | 14:32 |
| MiMundoYYo | problably | 14:32 |
| niladam | anyone can help me find out what my line-in is in /dev ? | 14:32 |
| Imaginativeone | I'm installing Ubuntu and I want to partition/use my 3 ide disks | 14:32 |
| rdz | warddr, why does my kernel suddenly doesn't provide the by-uuid links anymore? can that be configured somewhere? | 14:32 |
| Cyber_Akuma | And I don't know how to install a downloaded program in linux | 14:32 |
| Imaginativeone | how do I do that? | 14:32 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: Dude..I have already told you...you don't have to worry about what's inside of DEV unless you are dealing with some OLD hardware and you really need to create your own devices. | 14:32 |
| MiMundoYYo | [Cyber_Akuma] no problem, i can help there :) | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: tell the isntaller to mount them to whever you want and format/partion them as needed | 14:33 |
| MiMundoYYo | first decide the one you want | 14:33 |
| IdleOne | MiMundoYYo: I don't know how new you are to irc but most irc clients will "highlight" a user when their nick is said. adding [ ] to the nick prevents the client from highlighting the user, in a busy channel like this it is easy to lose a conversation. :) | 14:33 |
| unimatrix9 | ubuto | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: ie: make one be /home if you wanted and the 3rd be /storage or /var or whatver else you want | 14:33 |
| unimatrix9 | ubuto! apt-get | 14:33 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, you don't listen: the directory that is missing contains only symlinks to the real devices and yes i do care, since that is the recommended way to mount stuff: using uuid. | 14:33 |
| brontosaurusrexw | Imaginativeone: yes, i'd use one for the root, one for /home and 3rd for /var | 14:33 |
| IdleOne | !apt | unimatrix9 | 14:34 |
| ubottu | unimatrix9: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 14:34 |
| unimatrix9 | ah | 14:34 |
| ravigehlot | rdz: I can't LISTEN! I can ONLY READ! | 14:34 |
| xanii | os callaiis? | 14:34 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, whatever | 14:34 |
| Imaginativeone | Dr_Willis: can I make all three "/" ? | 14:34 |
| rdz | ravigehlot, you get my point | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: you dont understand linux filesystems if you have to ask that.. :) | 14:34 |
| Cyber_Akuma | ... wow, this coulden't possibly get any more annoying | 14:34 |
| MiMundoYYo | [IdleOne] sorry im using a addon which does it automatically | 14:34 |
| Cyber_Akuma | the Ubuntu LiveCD keeps getting stuck constnatly spinning up and down nonstop | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: there is only ONE 'root' filesystem thats '/' others get mounted to a location ON / | 14:35 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest25646 | ||
| Cyber_Akuma | taking forever to load anything | 14:35 |
| xanii | sailens please | 14:35 |
| Imaginativeone | aaahhh... | 14:35 |
| MiMundoYYo | [Cyber_Akuma] are we talking about a livecd or a av? | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | MiMundoYYo: then I suggest you disable that addon. it will prevent you getting the help you need if the user you are asking can't see you | 14:35 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I wanted to run avs off a livecd | 14:35 |
| Imaginativeone | can I make the other two the same thing? | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: typical 3 disk layout Drive 1 / drive 1 /home, drive 3 perhaps /storage and put a swap partiion on it | 14:35 |
| DebiansArmy | unimatrix9: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta ...read the part on ubuntu and debian... for apt-get... | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: You do mean 3 actual hard drives right. we are not talking 3 partions on a single drive | 14:36 |
| Imaginativeone | yes, that is right | 14:36 |
| Cyber_Akuma | The system is too heavily infected to bother repairing, but I wanted to at least clean it out a little so I can run key extractors for windows, office, etc before I nuke the hdd and start over | 14:36 |
| IdleOne | MiMundoYYo: Just a suggestion of course :) | 14:36 |
| Imaginativeone | I would like a minimal os area | 14:36 |
| Imaginativeone | and a huge amount of storage | 14:36 |
| Imaginativeone | is that wise? | 14:36 |
| MiMundoYYo | i understand IdleOne | 14:36 |
| MiMundoYYo | thank you | 14:36 |
| IdleOne | no problem | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Imaginativeone: thats why i hae sevral external 1+TB usb hard drives on this box.. and other hd;s | 14:37 |
| brontosaurusrexw | Imaginativeone: sure, i think around 30 gigs should be plenty for ubuntu | 14:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Hmm.... is there any way to eject and re-insert the cd? | 14:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | while ubuntu is running off of it? | 14:37 |
| MiMundoYYo | well Cyber_Akuma you could run in safe mode and get all the keys | 14:37 |
| Cyber_Akuma | It seems to constnatly get stuck spinning the drive up and down over and over, loading incrdibly slowly | 14:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | any idea why it doing that? | 14:38 |
| Imaginativeone | so I want two partitions on /sda1? | 14:38 |
| MiMundoYYo | the optical or the hdd? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyber_Akuma: disk/drive issues/read erorrs/dirt | 14:38 |
| Imaginativeone | 30GB + 170GB | 14:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | MiMundoYYo: DOH! Why didn't I think of that? I even used safemode before to check what files would need backing up | 14:38 |
| abhi_nav | MiMundoYYo well, you got your answer? | 14:38 |
| MiMundoYYo | [abhi_nav] nope lol | 14:38 |
| brontosaurusrexw | Imaginativeone: yes, but Dr_Willis will tell | 14:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Dr_Willis : only ubuntu is doing it though, my other livecds did not | 14:38 |
| Guest25646 | what can i use as messenger please | 14:38 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Granted, those didnt have a gui | 14:38 |
| abhi_nav | MiMundoYYo dont enclose nick in [ ] | 14:39 |
| brontosaurusrexw | Guest25646: pidgin ? | 14:39 |
| Guest25646 | IT DON'T WORK | 14:39 |

| madjoe | Stargaze: if you have 3 desktops, with ctrl+alt+right, you can navigate #1 > #2 > #3, but then you should go back, because another ctrl+alt+right will lead you nowhere | 14:48 |

| miha | dekroning basicly your computer is dhcp server that answers laptop. dhcp tells location of tftp server (same computer) that will serve boot images | 14:54 |
| candy | orson, ok... | 14:54 |
| candy | gsvolt, didnt work | 14:54 |
| gsvolt | candy, did you start authoring your .odt from start .. or someone sent it over for your comments ? | 14:54 |
| miha | dekroning for that time, turn of dhcp in router | 14:54 |
| miha | off | 14:54 |
| dekroning | miha: i already have a dhcp server running on my network... ah exactly :) | 14:54 |
| candy | gsvolt, i only created it | 14:54 |
| dekroning | miha: i cant tell PXE to boot from a specific TFTP server, by filling in the IP or something? | 14:54 |
| gsvolt | candy, so you aren't able to make changes to the .odt now ? | 14:55 |
| misterB | Anybody out there ever had any experience with keyboard input not working in certain windows? For example, I am unable to enter the passphrase to unlock gpg keys. Window asking for password pops up, and when I type, nothing happens. | 14:55 |
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: I need wmctrl and some tweaking for that... I've found out the solution | 14:55 |
| miha | no idea about bios. generally computers do precisely that, they try to boot from dhcp, if there's dhcp around to help | 14:55 |
| candy | gsvolt, i made a copy and now i can do it | 14:55 |
| greezmunkey | Draconius, look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 14:55 |
| candy | gsvolt, but it was not possible till i made a copy :-( | 14:55 |
| miha | dhcp tells tftp server. computer boots from that. if all is ok, that is it | 14:55 |
| Stargaze | dekroning, read this pdf, page 8 => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue14_en.pdf | 14:55 |
| gsvolt | candy, while you were running chmod command was the .odt open in openoffice? | 14:56 |
| candy | gsvolt, i made an ppt copy of it and saved. i got two odp and den ppt. then after i opened odp but was not able to edit | 14:56 |
| Stargaze | candy, first close the document, then change the permissions | 14:56 |

| Goliath | any alternative to gdm? | 14:56 |
| greezmunkey | misterB, What happens if you place your mouse cursor over the textbox, and then start typing? | 14:56 |
| orson | Goliath: xdm, kdm, slim | 14:57 |
| shadeslayer | Goliath: kdm,xdm,slim | 14:57 |
| candy | Stargaze, yep i did that... but still the same thing, read only | 14:57 |
| Goliath | whats slim? | 14:57 |
| orson | !info slim | 14:57 |
| ubottu | Package slim does not exist in karmic | 14:57 |
| shadeslayer | Goliath: ldm , xdm , etc | 14:57 |
| Stargaze | candy, copy the content and paste it in a new document | 14:57 |
| orson | Goliath: desktopmanager not available in default-repos :( | 14:57 |
| misterB | greezmunkey: nothing. Cursor disappears and nothing shows up in the text box. | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 14:58 |
| gsvolt | candy, use gedit/vi for collecting your thoughts, when done copy paste in openoffice, format .. that works for me | 14:58 |
| candy | Stargaze, yep that workd | 14:58 |
| candy | gsvolt, yep that too worked | 14:58 |
| greezmunkey | misterB, Wierd, I had a similar issue with a Desklets (something), placing the pointer over the textbox allowed keyboard input... | 14:58 |
| Stargaze | we're here to learn candy :) | 14:59 |
| vargadanis | hey all! Is there some similar games to OpenTTD for Ubuntu? | 14:59 |
| vargadanis | so these transport simulation games or whatyacall 'em... O_o | 14:59 |
| misterB | greezmunkey: seemed to start after I installed the stuff needed to type in Chinese... but all of that came from the repositories. | 14:59 |
| candy | Stargaze, yep, but do try to find the solution one without copying.. i ll too give a try | 15:00 |
| greezmunkey | misterB, Sorry, I'm unable to help, perhaps someone else here has experienced that... | 15:00 |
| misterB | greezmunkey: thanks anyway | 15:00 |
| steffan | hi. have a simple question regarding running irssi + screen via SSH. some characters (non-English alphabet) characters are being replaced with a quetion mark instead of their actual character. is this a screen issue? | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | steffan: yes ive seen similer issues - | 15:02 |
| gsvolt | in irssi how can i "scroll up" .. | 15:02 |

| greezmunkey | misterB, nice - maybe your should either post that as a bug, or at least post it to the forum! :) | 15:04 |

| migis | yes, video streams. formats are in "asx" | 15:06 |
| overmind | steffan: I have UTF-8 and nothing | 15:06 |
| Stargaze | migis, try adding medibuntu to your source and then do sudo apt-get update | 15:06 |
| linxeh | migis: asx isnt a video format | 15:06 |
| Stargaze | *source = sources | 15:06 |
| steffan | greezmunkey: small things like that are annoying, but still have a simple solution. it's just something I have never got around too looking in to until now :&) | 15:06 |
| Draconicus | greezmunkey: This is a very busy channel. Please type my name correctly next time. You failed to trigger my highlight by ommiting a letter. | 15:06 |
| linxeh | migis: try with VLC | 15:06 |
| migis | linxeh: i wanna play http://www.lrt.lt/ltv-LT-high.asx but it doesn't work | 15:07 |
| steffan | overmind: make sure term_charset = UTF-8 && save | 15:07 |
| migis | on VLC | 15:07 |
| miha | steffan well it's same thing with mysql. if you use latin1 you will lose eastern european letters, if you use latin2 you will use lovely scandinavic accents.. utf8 has it all, plus most of chinese :D | 15:07 |
| miha | lose, not use | 15:07 |
| greezmunkey | Draconicus, I may have misspelled it, sorry... | 15:07 |
| overmind | steffan: I use "/set term_charset" and appears UTF-8 | 15:07 |
| steffan | overmind: if that doesn't work then look at the page that greezmunkey pointed out as it has a couple of other suggestions | 15:07 |
| brontosaurusrexw | migis: i'd try to find an url and play that via vlc | 15:07 |

| steffan | !limewire | candy | 15:09 |
| ubottu | candy: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. | 15:09 |
| mawst | candy, limewire works. | 15:09 |
| greezmunkey | Draconicus, Oh, did you finally get it working the way you wanted? | 15:10 |
| mawst | gtkgnutela is just as good I think. | 15:10 |
| Goliath | is qingy good? | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | http://www.lrt.lt/ltv-LT-high.asx doesn't work in VLC either , perhaps it's corrupted | 15:10 |
| migis | linxeh: it doesn't work either | 15:10 |

| candy | how to istall java before getting limewire?? | 15:10 |
| linxeh | migis: regardless, one should be able to connect to the url | 15:10 |
| migis | maybe it's worth trying to install windows media player through wine then? | 15:10 |

| mgolisch | maybe try to change bootorder in bios to boot from the second disk and see if grub was installed there accidentaly | 15:18 |
| mgolisch | thats the most likely case | 15:19 |
| greezmunkey | mgolisch, good tip... | 15:19 |
| {Mikey} | and the second hdd that wasnt touched, is on a SATA card, so it wouldnt be marked to boot first, nor is is the first disk =\ | 15:19 |

| Stargaze | !boinc | 17:06 |
| MiMundoYYo | i remember Stargaze that i was once shown a program that was like task manager; dynamically and on the spot/instally updated cpu/memory usage | 17:06 |
| MiMundoYYo | do you know the program? | 17:06 |
| orson | MiMundoYYo: htop | 17:06 |
| the_booie | how do you run boinc from the cli with ubuntu ? | 17:07 |
| Condoulo | Stargaze, not even through a 3rd-party package? | 17:07 |
| Stargaze | MiMundoYYo, try gnome-system-monitor | 17:07 |
| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam | ||
| MiMundoYYo | install htop... | 17:07 |
| MiMundoYYo | it was in the terminal where this info was shown Stargaze | 17:07 |
| Stargaze | Condoulo, try http://gtk-apps.org/ | 17:07 |
| MiMundoYYo | it wasnt a gnome frontend | 17:08 |
| abhi_nav | If i install antivirus, then I want it to scan pen driver. but i dont want it to screw up my system resources, ram, etc. Is it possible? | 17:08 |
| IdleOne | the_booie: #boinc will be able to help you with that | 17:08 |
| MiMundoYYo | it was sometghing similar orson; no colors and alot cleaner more simple | 17:08 |
| MiMundoYYo | but i guess htop is ok................... | 17:09 |
| orson | MiMundoYYo: top | 17:09 |
| GeekSquid | ckw: I don't see a problem with your iptables, although, by default, there are no open ports on the eth interface, while there may be on the loopback interface, the loopback interface is only so the computer can communicate with itself | 17:09 |

| abhi_nav | warchicken: ask your question | 17:13 |
| GeekSquid | !ask | warchicken | 17:13 |
| ubottu | warchicken: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:13 |
| warchicken | Ok. | 17:14 |
| overmind | abhi_nav, GeekSquid: he asked | 17:14 |
| abhi_nav | overmind; no he ddnt | 17:14 |
| overmind | ops, no, I missread | 17:14 |
| warchicken | Can I just keep my drivers when installing ubuntu over a new partition witouth keeping the old ? | 17:14 |
| abhi_nav | ???? | 17:15 |
| dassouki | chrome doesn't exit full screen mode | 17:15 |
| GeekSquid | warchicken: ubuntu does not use windows drivers... the best way to test your machine is to boot with the liveCD and see how it responds | 17:15 |
| dassouki | and i can't move or resize it | 17:15 |
| warchicken | I want to format win xp and install ubuntu on it. will it keep the drivers network/gpu | 17:15 |
| warchicken | ok | 17:15 |
| ericboehs | GeekSquid: Thanks I'll sudo su to see it | 17:15 |
| IdleOne | dassouki: that is a chrome issue not ubuntu related | 17:15 |
| Stargaze | dassouki, F11 | 17:15 |
| dassouki | Stargaze: F11 doesn't do anything, just tries to go out | 17:15 |
| dassouki | and then goes back in | 17:15 |
| researcher1 | I have paste software installation failure report here http://paste.ubuntu.com/389722/ Please help me install | 17:15 |

| warchicken | So when I try the cd and boot linux from it and I have internet, it workd? | 17:16 |
| Frustrated | egh, this is driving me up the wall, I can't connect to my school's wifi, dmesg reveals "wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)" my wireless nic is "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5300 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection" according to lspci | 17:16 |

| Frustrated | i can connect to every other network i've tried, including wep and wpa networks, but not my school's... | 17:16 |
| warchicken | ok, my fedora gpu drivers do not work, what can cause it ? | 17:16 |
| Stargaze | Frustrated, maybe it's a WEP key issue | 17:16 |
| jake1 | my laptop has no sound it comes out static...but it has the jingle at startup | 17:16 |
| jimlovell777 | using the command line how can I convert a wep passphrase to a hex key? | 17:17 |
| GeekSquid | warchicken: we don't support fedora, try it with the ubuntu disk and see how it goes, you don't have to commit until you Install, | 17:17 |
| warchicken | Does anyone know how to install flash/illustrator/dreamweaver/photoshop on ubuntu,? wine ? | 17:17 |

| dehqan | How to know for example package /sd/s/d.deb is got from karmic repository or jaunty ? | 17:18 |
| blakkheim | warchicken: flash has a native linux version, all the other things you listed do not | 17:18 |
| warchicken | I meant the program flash, not the add on for sites | 17:18 |

| ubottu | warchicken: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl | 17:18 |
| riahc3 | debs arent used any more as a standard in karmic i believe........... | 17:18 |
| blakkheim | riahc3: uh | 17:18 |
| warchicken | Thanks | 17:18 |
| warchicken | Ill go there | 17:19 |
| IdleOne | riahc3: since when? | 17:19 |
| blakkheim | riahc3: debs are the way debian packages are put together, why wouldn't ubuntu use them? | 17:19 |
| orson | riahc3: what do you think IS used then? | 17:19 |
| riahc3 | i thought know although extension was being used since 9.10+ | 17:19 |
| IdleOne | riahc3: you got that info wrong :) but we forgive you | 17:19 |
| afya | how can i install package from channel | 17:20 |
| GeekSquid | dehqan: you really souldn't be mixing repos, did you upgrade? if so ubuntu will drop the Jaunty deb's and just use the Karmic ones, while keeping your configs intact | 17:20 |
| riahc3 | my mistake :) | 17:20 |
| IdleOne | afya: from channel? | 17:20 |
| riahc3 | [dehqan] most debs install on all debian systems | 17:20 |
| IdleOne | afya: can you explain what you want to do exactly please? | 17:20 |
| riahc3 | i dont think there will be a direct problem if it is more 8.04 or 9.10 | 17:21 |
| riahc3 | no promises though :) | 17:21 |
| orson | riahc3: fail again | 17:21 |
| afya | when i try to install compiz it says : Same version is available in a software channel | 17:21 |
| afya | You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead. | 17:21 |
| guntbert | researcher1: I don't see the command you used. What was it? | 17:21 |
| riahc3 | [orson] there are generic debs like generic bins | 17:21 |
| riahc3 | right? | 17:21 |
| IdleOne | riahc3: Please don't spread misinformation, well intentioned as you may be | 17:21 |
| riahc3 | or generic kernels | 17:21 |
| orson | riahc3: compiled with completly different libs, changing deps etc.pp | 17:22 |
| IdleOne | packages from older version can break things and the reverse is also true | 17:22 |
| GeekSquid | riahc3: each subsequent version is dependent on versions of libraries that need to be upgraded from version to version, but the repositories fix this because it makes all dependencies available in one place for each version | 17:22 |
| orson | riahc3: they "can" work, but most likely they won't do | 17:22 |
| riahc3 | of course, but in general cases.......... | 17:22 |
| riahc3 | bins for example | 17:22 |
| === christian is now known as Guest67450 | ||

| riahc3 | arent for ubuntu/debian/etc | 17:22 |
| riahc3 | they are released as is | 17:23 |
| afya | You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead. | 17:23 |
| |bIt| | i mean the cpu got 100% | 17:23 |
| researcher1 | please help install http://imagebin.org/87787 screenshots here | 17:23 |
| riahc3 | of course from the reporsitories you only get the ones for your distro but | 17:23 |
| orson | riahc3: we're talking about debs | 17:23 |
| riahc3 | yes, that is the recommendation | 17:23 |
| afya | when i try to install compiz it says : Same version is available in a software channel | 17:23 |
| riahc3 | [orson] understood :) | 17:23 |
| afya | You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead. | 17:23 |
| riahc3 | [afya] i perfer compling and installing it from source personally...... | 17:24 |
| IdleOne | afya: so install from Synaptic ( software channel ) | 17:24 |
| riahc3 | [|bIt|] you cannot do the test and at the same time tell use the results? | 17:25 |
| asad2005 | I have some videos in .wmv format and wanted to convert them for ipod/iphone. I tried ffmpeg -i file.wmv -f mp4 -acodec mp2 `pwd`/file.mp4 but when i tried them ituens does not recoginize them but they are playable under ubuntu | 17:25 |
| afya | wher i van find Synaptic ( software channel ) | 17:25 |
| afya | where i can find Synaptic ( software channel ) | 17:25 |
| |bIt| | riahc3: no, soryy | 17:25 |
| IdleOne | afya: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager | 17:25 |
| IdleOne | afya: in the menu at top left of your screen, if you are using default ubuntu | 17:26 |
| riahc3 | [|bIt|] well......... kernel version, distro, has this always happened? | 17:26 |
| afya | i ca't find any package in Synaptic package manager | 17:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | asad2005, due to a "bug" ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900 ) ffmpeg does not support AAC audio - thus it is NOT able to create MP4 files correctly right now - you might want to check out Handbrake as an alternative | 17:27 |
| riahc3 | [|bIt|] can i ask why cant you do this at the same time to give us results? if it is your other os, just install a irc client. if it is a friends, vnc it. | 17:27 |
| IdleOne | afya: put compiz in the search box | 17:27 |

| Stargaze | !backtrack | 17:38 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 17:38 |
| Stargaze | Solar_Flare, type /join #backtrack-linux | 17:39 |

| lun4tic | GeekSquid: it still says "»Lucidity-0.5« scheint kein gültiges Thema zu sein." (something like: »Lucidity-0.5« doesn't seam to be a valid Theme) | 17:39 |
| Solar_Flare | grub sees it, and tries to start it. | 17:39 |
| Solar_Flare | Stargaze: thx, already there. | 17:39 |
| Solar_Flare | since it seems to be a kernel related problem and the kernel is ubuntu 8.10, i think some people here might have an idea too. | 17:40 |
| guntbert | Solar_Flare: then I'd say it is an issue with backtrack - so please ask in #backtrack-linux | 17:40 |

| b2p1mp | how can i change the video driver to vesa, my ati vid card has many problems, and to get above 800x600 I think i need to do this, but I really have no clue... | 18:28 |
| behappy | I always increase /proc/sys/fs/file-max value to 30000 but I found it resited to default value 8190 why ? | 18:29 |

| b2p1mp | hmmm | 18:29 |
| red | ActionParsnip: yes, what I ment by that is that I'm accustomed to screencasting, but years ago, and most software then used their own odd propietary codecs | 18:29 |
| b2p1mp | well, when i install in safegraphic mode i can get above | 18:29 |

| b2p1mp | my thoughts tend to come in bursts, yeah, actually the card was bugged to begin with ATI stop supporting it long ago... | 18:32 |
| GeekSquid | !repeat |lungan | 18:32 |
| airtonix | lantizia, are you aware of nautilus scripts ? | 18:32 |
| ubottu | lungan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Lungan: bit hacky but you could make a startup script to put the right value in the file at startup | 18:32 |
| lantizia | airtonix, it doesn't understand (chowder: and neither does thunar) extra columns like dimensions or resolution (i.e. attributes about particular file types like images or video) | 18:33 |
| Guest_66281 | now I got ubuntu on Dell Dimension 3000 video in webpage is but no sou | 18:33 |

| airtonix | lantizia, ah you mean the extended meta data ? | 18:33 |
| lantizia | airstrike, yeah I guess | 18:33 |
| airtonix | lantizia, are you referring to the search mechanisms in particular ? | 18:34 |
| lungan | ActionParsnip, Do you have any idea why it keeps set value 1 every time i reboot? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest_66281: pressing enter more doesn't get you anything except annoyed uses with you scrolling the channel | 18:34 |
| chowder | lantizia: Nautilus just seems too heavy for me. I prefer thunar for basic file management. That or pcmanfm. | 18:34 |
| lantizia | airtonix, yeah... basically I'd like to be able to sort by resolution - or see at a glance that all videos use the same codec etc | 18:34 |
| b2p1mp | I figured there is a fix out there that just hasnt been reported yet so i had to ask around... | 18:34 |
| airtonix | lantizia, ok because thats not a fault of nautilus, the culprit there is either beagle or tracker | 18:34 |
| lantizia | chowder, too basic | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Lungan: it will be in a config file someplace but the script will make the file right | 18:34 |

| blakkheim | chowder: agreed | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest_66281: do you mean sound in flash? | 18:35 |
| lantizia | airtonix, such options are not listed in the "Visible Columns" dialogue box... only attributes that are common to all types of files | 18:35 |
| lungan | ActionParsnip, Ok but I have never scripted before | 18:35 |

| Petskull | saurabh23, get code::blocks | 18:39 |
| b2p1mp | ty | 18:39 |

| chowder | I'm using an integrated intel graphics card. Its the 82845G/GL. Xorg keeps freezing due to problems with the driver. I read online that you have to rollback to version 2.4. I tried that and was unable to set the proper resolution. Any thoughts? | 18:50 |

| T` | guntbert, the problem is bridge interface takes a while to come up after startup i believe.. so dhcp3 shouldn't start until then | 18:53 |
| Petskull | ok, but the issue is fixing grub | 18:53 |
| Jon- | chowder: Google just gave me bug reports where people said that CTRL+tab would not be included due to "standards". If I found a way to do it by Googling, I wouldn't be here ;). Thanks though, that gives me some confidence. | 18:53 |

| timyeung | yeiks depends on how good your cpu is. i have seen 9.10 do very well in older comps | 19:51 |
| Steve^^ | I hoped I could swap the xorg.conf? | 19:51 |
| eremite | LameBucket, Im not sure. | 19:51 |
| timyeung | LameBucket, did you go into bios and change the boot prioity? | 19:51 |
| timyeung | bjb1959, did you try system>admin>hardware drivers yet? | 19:52 |
| yeiks | @timyeung i am currently using 9.04 and was advised against 9.10 because of the various issues with new versions | 19:52 |
| eremite | chowder, did you figure out your resolution problem? If not, I can walk you through the process, step by step, and help you write a script for your start up. | 19:52 |

| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: How do I get those drivers then? Is it in that mesa package? | 19:57 |

| eremite | yeiks, upgrade. Karmic is better than Jaunty. In April we get Lucid, the newest release. | 19:58 |
| chowder | eremite: the resolution problem comes from using the latest intel driver | 19:58 |
| chowder | I'm on karmic | 19:58 |
| eremite | chowder, then you have more than a resolution problem. | 19:58 |
| guntbert | !hostname | cooper | 19:58 |
| ubottu | cooper: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 19:58 |

| cooper | ty | 19:59 |
| cometconfused | Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some assistance with Cometd ? | 19:59 |
| chowder | eremite: actually, the resolution issue comes from rolling back to the 2.4 driver and the freezing issue comes from using the latest driver | 19:59 |
| chowder | I need to roll back and then try your script | 19:59 |
| eremite | chowder, that script should work flawlessly if you could use X. I dont have a problem with the driver other than it's resolution. | 19:59 |
| ellar | hello, can anyone tell me how to delete / close a bug which is not relevant anymore? | 20:00 |
| ardian | Hi Guy, im having trouble with my Live ubuntu USB when i try to boot from it it gives me Boot Failed please change the disk | 20:00 |

| eremite | Masumex, you cannot hear the mic coming from your speakers in Karmic. MAJOR bug. Try opening Sound Recorder and doing a test recording to see if youc an hear yoruself that way. | 20:01 |
| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: Yeah I know, that's what I did. Is it installed now or...? | 20:01 |
| yeiks | timyeung she doesnt kno much about ubuntu except for the fact it seems to be faster than windows so i would want a version that she can easily work with with little or no assistance | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | InsaneMonkey02: run the update manager to make sure you are up to date | 20:02 |
| Masumex | thanks. i Need to get my microphone to work in karmic. i couldn't make it work in the older versions as well. what to do? | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | yeiks: most how to docs etc are for plain ubuntu | 20:02 |
| chowder | eremite: alright, I'm just trying to find a .deb for the intel 2.4 driver. Using links to do this sucks something awful. | 20:02 |
| eremite | yeiks, always upgrade to the newest Ubuntu unless the known issues page on the site says something that you dont like. | 20:03 |
| timyeung | yeiks, roll with 9.10 you might have to help her with setting up but after that you should have no issues | 20:03 |
| Masumex | i have speaker output, but my mic is not detected | 20:03 |
| yeiks | ok thank you all | 20:03 |
| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: Yes, it's up to date. | 20:03 |

| mostafakvd | what does this command do? | 20:04 |
| mostafakvd | "cc -O -o name filename.c –lm" | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | InsaneMonkey02: if you installed new video driver you will have to at least log out and log in again | 20:04 |
| Masumex | anyone have any ideas on my microphone? | 20:05 |
| ikonia | lorenzo: you where told how to join 4 times earlier | 20:05 |

| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: Oh, ok. I'll be right back then. :) | 20:05 |
| chowder | eremite: haven't read it | 20:05 |

| Masumex | ok | 20:06 |
| Masumex | in alsamixer | 20:06 |
| eremite | mostafakvd, I dont understand. Please elaborate. | 20:06 |
| linduxed | chili555: the thing is that i have to input manual settings | 20:06 |
| eremite | Masumex, make sure that all levels are turned up and that your mic is enabled | 20:07 |
| claws_ | irc commands are the same as they have been right ? | 20:07 |
| Fatal_ | After installing Ubuntu and running all updates, I cant boot into Windows 7 Loader... I get error: invalid signature | 20:07 |
| Fatal_ | why?! | 20:07 |
| chowder | eremite: read it, doesn't really help. I need to find a .deb for the 2.4 version of the intel driver and do a dpkg -i --force-all | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Fatal_: from the grub menu ? | 20:07 |
| chili555 | linduxed, why do you have to? encryption? | 20:07 |
| Masumex | ok | 20:08 |
| Fatal_ | I boot up, GRUB menu loads, I select Windows 7 Loader and it says "error: invalid signature" | 20:08 |

| mostafakvd | eremite: in the terminal | 20:08 |
| Masumex | under "mic jack" do i want line in or mic in? | 20:08 |

| eremite | chowder, why do you need a .deb? Sounds like you could just re-install the drivers the normal way. | 20:08 |

| hystreni | ikonia, but i cant get the "find" command to work, what do i have to write? | 20:12 |
| grumbly | ah... helpchan | 20:12 |
| ikonia | LameBucket: it doesn't say "not support" write down exactly what it says and tell us | 20:12 |
| timyeung | LameBucket, do you have a video card? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | hystreni: what are you currently typing ? | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | InsaneMonkey02: what graphic card ? | 20:12 |
| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: Let me look... | 20:12 |
| hystreni | ikonia, "find prefs.ini" | 20:12 |
| LameBucket | ikonia: yes.. it does.. my TV is saying "Not Support!" thats all it says.. | 20:12 |
| hobbit-girl | okay... I installed ubuntu, but I am using a 1600x900 hi-res monitor. how do I tweak my system to go to high-res.. it does not show high-res in my display preferences?? | 20:13 |
| ikonia | LameBucket: then your TV doesn't support that resolution | 20:13 |
| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: I believe it's an AT Radeon Xpress 200. | 20:13 |
| ikonia | hystreni: ok - have you read the man page on how to use find ? | 20:13 |
| grumbly | i seem to have lost the functionality of using backspace in all of my browsers to go to the previous page. I am not sure what to check | 20:13 |
| hystreni | erUSUL, im trying to find a file that comes with EVE "prefs.ini" | 20:13 |
| LameBucket | ikonia: How do i fix it so i can see it? | 20:13 |
| eremite | hobbit-girl, 2 secs. i got your fix | 20:13 |
| chowder | eremite: its probably the "sirestart" ppa. I've tried it and it doesn't work | 20:13 |

| erUSUL | InsaneMonkey02: can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 20:13 |

| hystreni | Ikonia, i asked a friend that have used Ubuntu and archlinux he told me to use locate... so no :/ | 20:13 |
| InsaneMonkey02 | erUSUL: Yeah, hold on. | 20:13 |
| timyeung | LameBucket, plug your comp into a monitor until the setup is complete | 20:14 |

| eremite | grumbly, that's so weird, I had that same problem last night and had to restart X server to fix it. | 20:15 |
| chili555 | linduxed, then /etc/network/interfaces is the best way, but it will probably not work until you remove NM. i have tried to stop it and it just wont work | 20:15 |
| mostafakvd | eremite: what should I ask then to help others help me better? | 20:15 |
| grumbly | eremite, that's unworking | 20:16 |
| guntbert | tegl1n: the usual solution is to just remove the keyring password (but of course thats a security risk) | 20:16 |

| linduxed | chili555: ill try with the manual interface again | 20:16 |
| chili555 | linduxed, but its tricky. if you remove it, you will prolly go off line and you need to have a good interfaces file ready to go | 20:17 |

| Imaginativeone | how do I run VirtualBox? | 20:25 |
| guntbert | hystreni: the I'd say no such file is on your system | 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | Imaginativeone: First you install it | 20:25 |
| Justin22885 | im looking for preferably a wireless-N router (for future upgrades) that will be able to broadcast to me on the third floor, router on the first, without dropping connections and be easily upgradable in the future, so atleast 4mb flash for dd-wrt installations | 20:25 |
| sebsebseb | Imaginativeone: plus you will need to be on a computer that can run virtual machines, so enough RAM for example | 20:25 |

| joeG | chelz, That's not quite the issue. I have backports alsa etc installed and sound works. The problem is the fact that pulse/alsa see it as a stereo mic and blends both channels by default. I'm looking for a way to tell it to ignorew one of the channels entirely outside of the mixer apps. | 21:35 |

| Guest5226 | HowardtheDuck: don t mistake partitions and system files | 21:39 |
| clickme | !HowardtheDuck hi | 21:39 |
| joeG | magn3ts, I honestly suspect it's something to do with system load. I know my mouse gets flaky when things get jammed up. Check your system-monitor and look at the various loads. I suspect something is eating up processor time. | 21:40 |
| clickme | ! HowardtheDuck hi | 21:40 |

| Guest5226 | joeG: the codecs should be ok. I m asking you how could I convert that to a .avi or whatever | 21:40 |
| magn3ts | joeG, I've got top running over here in a terminal and I can confirm that system load is very low | 21:40 |
| Guest5226 | HowardtheDuck: you shrink a partition. then stretch another. then you need to stretch the other filesystem | 21:41 |

| kfizz | eremite, they're both 16:9. Laptop res is 1600x900, and the 16:9 aspect ratio resolution available for the HDTV is 1280x720 | 21:45 |
| joeG | Guest5226 like I mentioned before, you may have to pull from the medibuntu repositories. That's what I had to do back in Jaunty when I needed to do some editing. A google should pull up the directions. | 21:45 |

So I plugged it in, and I got an error along the lines "generating encryption keys" or something like that. It stayed like that for quite sometime so I hard rebooted it, and now I get the Ubuntu logo at boot, but then everything stops and the screen gets hosed down. Any ideas? | 21:47 |

| joeG | I'm still looking for some pulseaudio/alsa help. I'm looking for a way to tell them to ignore one channel on the microphone input as it is a noise canceling mic. When it blends both channels, it has a net zero input. I know I can do this through the gui tool, but some tools adjust both channels at the same time and I have to go back and redo the settings again. Is there a way to do this in a config file?

| harjot | how would i find out the last remote ip addressof my computer? | 21:50 |
| Guest5226 | joeG: alsamixer and alsactl store maybe? | 21:51 |
| Guest5226 | isn t there an alsa.conf file? | 21:51 |
| joeG | Guest5226, Yeah, but then the dynamic changing of them brings both channels together again. I basically want to forbid the change of the channel at all. | 21:52 |
| Guest5226 | can t you edit your init session and by command line, with, e.g. aumix, mute one channel? | 21:52 |
| Guest5226 | you add to gnome init session one thing: the muting channels | 21:52 |
| joeG | Guest5226, would that lock it down and disallow any future changes to the channel? | 21:53 |
| usrponcho | hi ... | 21:53 |
| Guest5226 | joeG: that would mute it. but you could later on change it again. future changes made by user would be crashing your settings | 21:54 |
| harjot | IS there a log file that contains the computers last remote ip address? | 21:54 |
| joeG | Guest5226, Yeah, that's what I'm looking to work around. | 21:54 |
| Guest5226 | but what you might need is editing whoknows file and preventing the line making the GUI displaying this channel to appear... | 21:55 |
| joeG | harjot, try /var/log/syslog | 21:55 |
| harjot | ok thanks | 21:55 |
| Guest5226 | isn t there an option to let a user control some settings? i think you can say "don t show mono, master, surround,..." would that be enough? | 21:55 |
| joeG | Guest5226, Yeah... I've been searching online hoping to find something. I'm just honestly surprised that there isn't something easy to make them work with noise-canceling mics. | 21:56 |

| blakkheim | dwm is nice but i prefer awesome | 22:30 |
| patapuma | does netbook remix have special drivers for flash memory over USB install? | 22:30 |
| michaelb | bbthebman: I think you can uninstall the package, and then reinstall like the normal gnome-desktop, if i recall | 22:31 |
| admin-elite | has anyone cloned there ubuntu system into a live cd? | 22:31 |
| admin-elite | i want to do this | 22:31 |
| michaelb | Scarra3: well, change your xinitrc I would guess to run wherever you compile dwm | 22:31 |
| admin-elite | got my laptop setup really nice | 22:31 |
| Red_HamsterX | michaelb, bbthebman, a few things need to be disabled in the startup sessions, too, but I can't remember their names or find the guide I used. :( | 22:31 |
| bbthebman | michaelb: how do i do this | 22:32 |
| bbthebman | in 9.04 there was an option in settings but not in 9.10 | 22:32 |
| michaelb | bbthebman: yeah they removed that, it sucks | 22:33 |
| Red_HamsterX | bbthebman, this looks similar to what I ended up doing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8232024&postcount=6 | 22:33 |

| Scarra3 | And only use DWM or Awesome | 22:34 |
| Red_HamsterX | ramrebol_, python-dev, as mentioned earlier. sudo aptitude install python-dev. | 22:35 |
| michaelb | Scarra3: haha okay, well google for disabling gdm (that will get rid of the gnome prompt). this generally involves removing some daemons from initd | 22:35 |
| ardian | Why does my live usb give me this Boot Failed please change the disk | 22:35 |
| ardian | it was working | 22:35 |

| Scarra3 | Ok thx | 22:35 |
| evilGUI | eremite: What do you mean? | 22:36 |
| michaelb | Scarra3: then use a text based log in... edit xinitrc to start whatever wm you want, and then type startx to start it | 22:36 |

| syrius | how do you install gnome desktop from ubuntu server? | 22:44 |
| blakkheim | syrius: why would you do that | 22:44 |
| syrius | isn't just the ubuntu-desktop package that needs to be installed? | 22:44 |
| Warp4 | syrius, try tasksel if you really wanna do that | 22:44 |
| Warp4 | syrius, i believe there is an option in tasksel that will let you do that | 22:45 |
| syrius | well someone that is trying out ubuntu wants gui with ubuntu server | 22:45 |
| syrius | he is having a problem with google suggest | 22:45 |
| Warp4 | why would you want a gui with ubuntu server? :) | 22:45 |
| dhlippert | syrius: yea, that. But I'd recommend installing webmin instead | 22:45 |
| syrius | he doesn't get the google suggestions | 22:45 |
| Warp4 | if he wants a gui then use desktop | 22:45 |
| michaelb | syrius: do they want ubuntu as a server or as a desktop computer? | 22:45 |

| joeG | I'm looking for help configuring a noise-canceling mic that is seen as a stereo input mic. The volume sliders tend to lock together when modifying the channels and thus produce no input. Is there a way to lock one of the channels at mute or otherwise force a locked proportion in the sliders through a config file somewhere? | 22:52 |
| dav_ | is there a way to cleanly remove (or disable) pulseaudio? | 22:52 |
| michaelb | joeG: do you mean for like gnome-volume-control? Not that I know of... there are other volume control applications you could try if you want | 22:53 |
| Red_HamsterX | hellupline, is your Launchpad account fully set up? | 22:53 |

| raj_ | dav_: no .. that is the sad part i hate 9.10 | 22:54 |
| joeG | michaelb, When I adjust it in other programs, it tends to bring them both back equal, and that nullifies the audio :( | 22:54 |
| denis_k | I can't boot into ubuntu, I resized the partition it was on (made it larger) and grub loads and just says no such partition...do I need to edit grub.cfg or something?? | 22:54 |
| dav_ | raj_ / joeG - corolary question: has anyone gotten ekiga to work properly with pulseaudio? - online sources seem to say no.. | 22:55 |
| joeG | dav_, Yeah, I've heard that it's just the meta-package and has no real lasting effects except for the meta package upgrades. Many have reported success. | 22:55 |
| Blue1 | hellupline: this is how I did filesharing -- http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=190 I've never heard of your programme | 22:55 |

| joeG | dav_, I haven't tried ekiga, but skype works fine if I play some tricks with the mic sliders. Try setting one channel to mute and then test the input. | 22:56 |

| Blue1 | schnitzel: try #fedora? | 22:57 |

| l7 | hi, what's a better backup program, clonezilla or partimage? | 22:59 |
| jaik | Hi, does anyone know a good guide for installing ftpd? I need to install the programm under OpenBSD, but the documentation is rly short. So I'd like to understand the program using Ubuntu :) | 23:00 |
| l7 | or should i just dd or tar? | 23:00 |
| schnitzel | i have tried using dd to copy the iso, i also tried unetbootin but that stopped at 66% of "installing bootloader", i gave up on the usbcreator from fedora since i couldnt even get it to run :( | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | l7: both are equal, just have different abilities | 23:00 |
| blakkheim | l7: partimage | 23:00 |
| Patologoanatom_P | Столько народа в одном канале, ужас | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | schnitzel: did you md5 test the iso? | 23:00 |

| dav_ | raj_ / joeG - what about /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop ? wouldn't that just do the trick? | 23:00 |
| denis_k | Can anybody help me? I resized my partition that ubuntu was on, and now grub won't boot/says 'no such partition' and goes to the grub rescue prompt... | 23:00 |
| Mike_lifeguard | How can I make my laptop stop going to sleep when I unplug it? I don't see an option for this in power management | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | l7: you'd have to research both, see what you want from the app then see which provides it | 23:00 |
| joeG | dav_, Depends. Check to see if it's put into "auto-spawn" or not. | 23:00 |
| raj_ | dav_ that is what i do to disable pulseaudio to listen to music | 23:00 |
| l7 | partimage's menu was a bit confusing for me so far | 23:01 |
| dav_ | david(1)@crusher:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | denis_k: reinstall grub from liveCD | 23:01 |
| Red_HamsterX | hellupline, actually, upon further research, it looks like this is related to your GPG settings, not your SSH settings. | 23:01 |
| dav_ | guess not | 23:01 |
| l7 | guess i'll see how clonezilla goes in a moment | 23:01 |
| michi_need_help | hi, my problem is I have to give special hdparms to the disk, and I try to give the "hdparm...." by startup, but I will look at the hdparm.conf now | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | l7: partimage is dead easy, you just need a big partition to spit the resulting image out to, you can do it in livcd | 23:01 |
| denis_k | ActionParsnip: I tried it but it says something about a file gone bad...want me try it again and give you the error message? | 23:02 |
| JimmyNeutron | Anyone using LUKS(Linux Unified Key Setup)? | 23:02 |
| JimmyNeutron | trying to see if LUKS is worth it or something else is better that offers whole disk encryption | 23:02 |
| dav_ | joeG: not sure what the default behavior is but autospawn=yes is commented in my pulse.conf? maybe i should explicitly say =no by default.. | 23:03 |
| blakkheim | JimmyNeutron: i use it | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | denis_k: then the file you are using is bad, redownload the file | 23:03 |
| hellupline | Red_HamsterX yes, my gpg key is fine, the problem is quickly don't find it, i tried this:https://answers.launchpad.net/quickly/+question/99514 (same problem than me)but dont work | 23:03 |
| sqwertle | Is there anyone that could help me with a code::block permissions problem I'm having? | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | denis_k: if the file is bad it simply will not work | 23:03 |
| JimmyNeutron | blakkheim: do you notice a lot of overhead? | 23:03 |
| blakkheim | JimmyNeutron: just a little bit, but i have an SSD | 23:03 |
| JimmyNeutron | lol...well, that's a big difference between HD vs SSD :D | 23:04 |
| joeG | dav_, I'm not completely certain about that. It may affect other things. You may have to rejigger it to act as a daemon so you can use start/stop. | 23:04 |
| l7 | ActionParsnip: hmm, i'll give partimage another go after i run clonezilla | 23:04 |
| l7 | does anyone know if clonezilla provides md5 checksums for it's iso images? | 23:04 |
| JimmyNeutron | blakkheim: guess I'll try it out and see how much slower my system is after the encryption..ty | 23:04 |
| l7 | kinda weird that they don't seem to have one clearly displayed | 23:05 |
| hellupline | Red_HamsterX following this: i check that my gpg key is fine, i even signed a file for test here, only quickly is giving me headache | 23:05 |
| dav_ | joeG: I wish ekiga would just work with pulseaudio :( there's isn't any other good SIP client.. | 23:05 |

| JimmyNeutron | schnitzel: mount the ISO under windows | 23:07 |
| Red_HamsterX | hellupline, have you tried the export and removal process described in that thread? | 23:08 |
| JimmyNeutron | and see if u can read it under windows and check the checksum/crc to make sure the iso isn't corrupted | 23:08 |

| sqwertle | 've recently gone from XP to Ubuntu 9.10 and wanted a compiler similar to Dev-CPP(Bloodshed). I chose Code::Block as it seems to have very close to the same features and maneuverability. However when I attempt to compile I get a "Permission denied" error. I'll chmod the file to a+x and it will allow me to compile and run. At that point it tells me that at line# using: not found. This is where my using namespace std; is. I | 23:12 |

| JimmyNeutron | schnitzel: there is an alternate way but not sure how its done in Linux | 23:13 |
| Mike_lifeguard | flodine: depends what hardware you want. Check the hardware compatibilty list if you're concerned ubuntu won't run on it | 23:13 |
| deostroll | hi does any1 know how to use the keyboard as a mouse? | 23:13 |
| JimmyNeutron | schnitzel: in windows, you can strip the boot img from the iso and than use DD to copy the boot.img to the usb | 23:13 |
| Mike_lifeguard | sqwertle: ok, so fix your code | 23:13 |
| sqwertle | it's not my code :( | 23:13 |

| JimmyNeutron | denis_k: i think so....i think its called Rescue Mode | 23:14 |
| Mike_lifeguard | denis_k: that makes no sense - either you're booting from the HD or you're booting from the livecd | 23:14 |

| sqwertle | no | 23:15 |
| Tartaros | denis_k: ok then you can chroot in there and run the command | 23:15 |
| MutantTurkey | erik__: dmenu | 23:15 |
| Mike_lifeguard | brjann: that is booting from the cd >_> | 23:16 |
| erik__ | MutantTurkey, hahah! | 23:16 |
| erik__ | MutantTurkey, No seriously | 23:16 |
| Mike_lifeguard | not that it matters | 23:16 |
| Tartaros | denis_k: but first you need to bind /dev and possibly /boot into that fs on your hdd | 23:16 |
| sqwertle | Mike_lifeguard: The permission denied error is my highest concern, which has nothing to do with my code. | 23:16 |

| MutantTurkey | trolling is fun :0 | 23:17 |
| sqwertle | Mike_lifeguard it fixes it until I make any sort of change to the program. Once I try to compile after a change has been made the permissions have been reset. | 23:18 |
| sqwertle | Mike_lifeguard: I'm hoping to resolve this to where the permissions will NOT need to be manually changed at all | 23:18 |
| Some_Person | Where should I look to fix this makefile problem? | 23:18 |
| barachius | does anybody know howto install ubuntu 9.10 with grub instead of grub2 | 23:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | MutantTurkey, do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 23:19 |
| Mike_lifeguard | sqwertle: that sounds like your editor is doing two-stage saves or something which resets file ownership/permissions. I'd look into how to turn that off. | 23:19 |
