| steven_ | i download planenshift in my transmission and i donot know what to do | 00:00 |
| seanbrystone | whats a good file recovery app for ubuntu, prefer it be GUI and not some other distro live CD like Knoppix, | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: ok so now we know its your profile | 00:00 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: however | 00:00 |

| meshuggah | heya everyone! i am here! | 00:01 |
| qetuR | hmm, what could be wrong if I first install gnome-shell from repos. Removes it, adds the PPA to sources tries to install it, which doesnt work. Then tries to go back to the old repo one. And still dont work. What could have hahpend? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | seanbrystone: you can just restore from your backups, you can also use foremost if you have failed to make any backups | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: log a bug then | 00:01 |
| eatlama | i looked at the documentation and it says my wifi card is supported and works out of the box | 00:02 |
| seanbrystone | ActionParsnip, yeah theres no backups, and what do you mean, "restore from your backups"? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | seanbrystone: you can run foremost in a livecd so the partition is not busy | 00:02 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: no point till ive found the source of the problem | 00:02 |
| eatlama | its not working tho | 00:02 |
| airtonix | steven_, there are plenty of guides on how to use it. the planeshift website is a good start. | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | seanbrystone: if your data is important then you should have a backup system | 00:02 |
| steven_ | ok | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: have you tried the pdgin dev ppa? | 00:02 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: i have the same problem with other tray-based apps so it's not Pidgin | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW2: sounds like the notification area is screwed then | 00:03 |
| KenBW2 | ActionParsnip: why the X error then? | 00:03 |
| eatlama | is there a possibility that my wifi card isnt activated? how would i go about activating because the driver should be on my computer | 00:03 |
| seanbrystone | ActionParsnip, I keep two backups actually (that i forgot about) sbackup and back in time, thanks for reminding me, i had a duh moment! :) | 00:03 |
| natetheis | Well, LD can't find the libraries. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby | 00:04 |
| seanbrystone | but foremost sounds cool, can you explain more about that? | 00:04 |

Can anyone give me instructions or point me somewhere that has them? Ubuntu is insta | 00:55 |

| === goose is now known as goose|ODST | ||
| dekenx | what should I do to use my laptops built-in IR receiver | 00:56 |
| te_ | Lxndr: Not sure what step 2 is but is it because you have Ubuntu on the first partition? | 00:57 |
| Jaimie | wihtout clicking your link Lxndr; simply use gpardted, install windows; put a livecd in and run grub install | 00:57 |
| te_ | Lxndr: ... bacause XP can only go on first partition... | 00:57 |
| hans67521 | hi | 00:58 |
| hipitihop | Lxndr, depending on the specific game you want to run, look at Wine, it may already support your game, alternatively also consider using virtualbox.org .. package available via synaptic | 00:58 |
| hans67521 | i am busy building my own ubuntu distro | 00:58 |
| Kittymew | hey ubuntu people, is there an easy way to set a custom menu item (on the main menu in gnome) to run as root (via sudo)? | 00:58 |
| hans67521 | but i am stuck with an install system | 00:58 |
| hans67521 | the system has no gui | 00:58 |
| airtonix | Kittymew, right click menu > select edit, prefix commands with gksudo | 00:58 |
| Kittymew | gksudo? Thanks. | 00:58 |
| hans67521 | anyone have idea how to make an install | 00:59 |
| Lxndr | hipitihop, The game I want to run is not behaving well in WINE, sadly. (Which is annoying, since it behaves in WINE on my laptop). | 00:59 |
| Lxndr | te_ Step 2 says "back up the grub boot menu." Which apparently is at /boot/grub/menu.lst (according to the page) but that file does not exist on my box. | 00:59 |
| airtonix | Lxndr, most likely because the two machine have different video cards ? | 00:59 |
| te_ | Lxndr: If that is the case, there is no real easy way to fix that type of problem. If intend to install XP, you need to do it first, or, you need to leave a partition at the first of the drive and reserve it for XP. | 01:00 |
| steven_ | pou: are you still on | 01:00 |
| Lxndr | airtonix, The problem happens before the game loads. | 01:00 |
| pou | steven_: yes | 01:00 |
| airtonix | Lxndr, as do most things related to videos cards and wine | 01:00 |

| Curly_Q | Te my other question is: Are the old SSH clients compatible with the Ubuntu ssh and should I be using sshd instead? | 01:16 |
| te_ | !sound | Socraton | 01:17 |
| ubottu | Socraton: 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 | 01:17 |
| Socraton | te: It was muted by default, but I unmuted it. Didn't do anything | 01:17 |
| te_ | Curly_Q: sshd is the ssh server. | 01:17 |
| Socraton | hm, ok. I'll check it out. | 01:17 |
| Lxndr | I have Ubuntu installed on my computer. I want to keep *everything* I have currently installed, the custom configurations to my various programs, et cetera. I also want to dual boot with XP. How can I accomplish both these goals? | 01:17 |
| NinoScript | if I enter the new kernel, it starts flashing a terminal and I can't do anything | 01:17 |
| Curly_Q | Te so the d stands for daemon? | 01:17 |
| te_ | Curly_Q: You are correct | 01:18 |
| Curly_Q | Thanks Te. | 01:18 |
| NinoScript | I read, and I think it has to do with the NVIDIA drivers, and I was told that if I reinstall them, it would work again | 01:18 |
| NinoScript | now, the problem is, that I downgraded to grub1, and now there's no list… it just starts with the new kernel version and I can't fix it | 01:19 |
| Curly_Q | I did an apt-get and it works. But what about the "Encryption Algoriths, could that be my problem? | 01:19 |
| te_ | Lxndr: If Ubuntu occupies the first partition, you will not be able to install XP until you move Ubuntu off of it. (XP will only boot from first partition.) | 01:19 |
| NinoScript | what should I do? | 01:19 |
| Lxndr | te_: How do I move Ubuntu? | 01:20 |
| Curly_Q | Algoriths? | 01:20 |
| Curly_Q | Algorithms? | 01:20 |
| te_ | Lxndr: ... and moving Ubuntu off of the first partition is a bit too complicated for us to discuss here on this channel. If you can talk someone into going to a private channel and providing you with step by step instructions, that will work for you, but, as I said, it is a bit complicated. | 01:21 |

| joshuah | has anyone had any problems with gnome shell? when I do "gnome-shell --replace" I get no run box with alt+f2, no workspaces, and no panel | 01:21 |
| joshuah | I'm using nvidia, with a 190 driver installed from the command line and all updates (including kernel) installed | 01:22 |
| Archanamiya | I'm on 8.04 and I've royally messed up my display in displayconfig-gtk. What can I do | 01:22 |
| te_ | joshuah: Not sure what gnome-shell is. | 01:22 |
| Random832 | joshuah; i think gnome-shell is meant to replace the whole paradigm of panel, workspaces, alt-f2 run | 01:22 |
| ringo999 | what tool do you all use to find and remove duplicate audio files? | 01:22 |
| Random832 | i.e. you use the gnome-shell stuff instead of the panel | 01:23 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | joshuah, stay away from gnome shell if you want to use the run box etc | 01:23 |
| joshuah | Random832: yeah, but I don't even get the gnome-shell time/calendar/panel thing (I've used it before, but it doesn't seem to be working for me now) | 01:23 |
| Lxndr | te_: Is there no website with spelled out step-by-step instructions? | 01:23 |
| te_ | joshuah: You should try #gnome-shell | 01:23 |
| te_ | Lxndr: Not sure. I'll look around and see. | 01:24 |

| ZykoticK9 | gasull, the link you sent is actually trying to combine the 2 methods of installing DVD support into one -- see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback for the two methods spelt out | 01:27 |
| ipatrol | Hello. A client gave me an HP laptop which was originally loaded with XP. It now has netbook remix and while iwconfig recognizes the built-in adapter, it doesn't detect the client's wireless network, or any other for that matter. Any ideas? | 01:27 |
| Archanamiya | hamin, try to keep it on as few lines as possible. The enter key isn't punctuation | 01:27 |
| Curly_Q | Te is there a GUI that will make all of the permissions with Kubuntu or a command for it? | 01:27 |
| gasull | clipse: if nobody answers your question try in #networking | 01:27 |
| lantizia | my question was more of a poll... on if people believe it's better to have dedicated nameservers for a group of web servers... or use the nameservers on the web servers themselves. | 01:27 |
| Jaimie | ipatrol, tried it in the command line? | 01:27 |

| ipatrol | Jaimie: I also added the network manually, still no luck | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | buttons840: can't say, I'd think that's not the case, check maybe the latest version, I've used 2003 version, is not filesystem dependent, just partition or disk based | 01:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | buttons840, check out clonezilla at http://clonezilla.org/ it's a livecd that supports both MS and Linux partitions | 01:29 |

| ipatrol | Jaimie: The client uses a Linksys home edition with WEP | 01:30 |
| blakkheim | ipatrol: you shouldn't use wep | 01:30 |
| Xcell | new install, have restricted extras installed, still no dvd, any ideas ? | 01:30 |
| ipatrol | blakkheim: Our security team told them that | 01:30 |
| Jaimie | depends; the chances of a person with the knowledge to hack WEP are slim | 01:30 |
| Jaimie | and also if you need to support legacy hardware | 01:30 |
| te_ | Lxndr: If you have 9.10, it does not use /boot/grub/menu.lst see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:30 |
| Jaimie | you dont have that choice | 01:30 |
| ipatrol | Jaimie: It's a small store | 01:31 |
| Archanamiya | I'm on 8.04 and I've royally messed up my display in displayconfig-gtk. What can I do?!?! | 01:31 |
| gasull | ZykoticK9: thanks. I think the link just tries the first method. I'm gonna reboot and try the 2nd method if it doesn't work. The DVD should autorun when I put it in, right? Or at least I should see a DVD/CD icon in my desktop, right? | 01:31 |
| Jaimie | security aside try it in the console | 01:31 |
| Jaimie | http://www.everyjoe.com/newlinuxuser/howto-use-iwconfig/ | 01:31 |
| ipatrol | Jaimie: I did | 01:31 |
| densone | Archanamiya: can you boot into rescue mode and fix it ? | 01:31 |
| te_ | Lxndr: The file you need to back up is /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 01:31 |
| dijital1 | trying to find libnet-scp-ruby1.8 for ubuntu 8.10 but it doesn't appear to be in the repos | 01:31 |

| Typos_King | Lxndr: the old menu.lst labels are in the new grub at /boot/grub/grub.cfg so that'd be what you want backed up | 01:31 |

| densone | Archanamiya, There is a way to set you config back to stock with dpkg. | 01:33 |
| Archanamiya | densone, awesome! how do I do it? | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | CultOfTheGlenda: why not just repartition? it may just even be quicker, and you may just settle for ext4 or such | 01:34 |
| CultOfTheGlenda | How do i do that in XP? | 01:34 |
| airtonix | CultOfTheGlenda, you don't. | 01:34 |

| densone | PeterT, or as another user | 02:02 |
| zebastian | i am looking for a deb file for skype for hardy heron | 02:02 |
| PeterT | Look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/390734/ | 02:02 |
| dj_segfault | PeterT: More exactly, it remembers the password for sudo for 5 minutes. You still need to preface the command with it. If you need to type a lot of commands, you can do "sudo bash" to launch a bash shell as root but BE CAREFUL!!! | 02:02 |
| today | happy woman day for your girl . | 02:02 |
| PeterT | I can't do anything as a regular user, but with sudo, supybot doesn't want to run | 02:02 |
| PeterT | dj_segfault: Ahhh | 02:02 |
| densone | PeterT, You may want to set your permissions up properly on the directories | 02:02 |
| dj_segfault | PeterT: What I do is I have a gnome-terminal setting for a root window that sets a red background so I can't accidentally type commands in it thinking they're running as me | 02:02 |

| === jefinc_ is now known as jefinc | ||
| CultOfTheGlenda | skrapasor, find where the drive is mounted with the command "mount" and then copy those files with the command cp | 02:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | crackguy, don't know then, good luck | 02:18 |
| densone | PeterT, yw | 02:18 |
| PeterT | :D :D | 02:18 |
| crackguy | ZykoticK9, thanks | 02:18 |
| dj_segfault | baba_b00ie: Then it's seeing your hardware and there's a different problem. Try running alsamixer or alsamixergui to make sure all sliders are not muted | 02:18 |
| densone | skrapasor, cp -a will copy the files in archive mode. The permissions of the files will be kept. | 02:19 |
| Kutakizukari | Was not sure, thank you | 02:19 |
| econtomawesome | Howdy! I have to "current pending" sectors on my hard drive. Is this a bad sign? | 02:20 |
| ThaDoc | is your workgroup name your login name? | 02:20 |
| ThaDoc | in ubuntu 9.04 | 02:20 |
| airtonix | ThaDoc, no. also keep your messages on one line | 02:20 |
| baba_b00ie | dj_segfault, dude you're right. the speakers inside my laptop came unplugged from that little flat wire cable thing.. heh opps thanks 4 yoour help thought | 02:21 |
| sina | hi im on a fresh install of 9.10, how do I make it so that windows is the default OS to boot from grub? | 02:21 |
| dj_segfault | baba_b00ie: No problem. You should have asked techno beaver | 02:21 |
| ThaDoc | then why is it that I have to change my workgroup name in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf to whatever my workgroup name is? Because I am unsure what my workgroup name is | 02:22 |
| baba_b00ie | techno beaver? who dat willis | 02:22 |
| dj_segfault | baba_b00ie: I thought by your nick you were a Howard Stern fan. Nevermind | 02:23 |
| airtonix | ThaDoc, because thats where samba determines the workgroup name to use? | 02:23 |
| sina | hi im on a fresh install of 9.10, how do I make it so that windows is the default OS to boot from grub? | 02:23 |
| baba_b00ie | i am a stern fan. haven't listened to him in ages. at least 5 years | 02:24 |
| dj_segfault | sina: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. There's an entry in there called default. You have to change that. | 02:24 |
| symptom | sina you need to edit grub.conf | 02:24 |
| symptom | or menu.lst | 02:24 |

| darolu | I have 2 pop mail accounts configured in my Evolution client; I currently have a filter to separate mails from one of them to a folder; none of them support IMAP, is there a way to have them in separate folders (not using a filter)? evolution docs say is not possible but I was hopping for a plug in or something like that. | 02:24 |
| ThaDoc | but my workgroup name I changed, and I cannot remember what it was how do i figure it out, because that file says WORKGROUP on it but I had already changed it and I need to figure out what it is | 02:24 |
| symptom | sina, dj_segfault is correct | 02:24 |
| sina | symptom, what | 02:25 |
| brian_ | hey sina I havn | 02:25 |
| airtonix | ThaDoc, so how did you change it (one would think that was the logical way to find out what you changed it to ) | 02:25 |
| brian_ | hey sina I havn't seen you for a long time | 02:25 |
| sina | do i know you? :P | 02:26 |
| brian_ | no | 02:26 |
| airtonix | !ot | brian_ | 02:26 |
| ubottu | brian_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:26 |
| ThaDoc | I do not remember hence why I am here! | 02:26 |

| brian_ | bye | 02:26 |
| sina | cya | 02:26 |
| CultOfTheGlenda | hello everybody, what purposes does UFS? Are there any reasons to choose it? | 02:27 |
| airtonix | ThaDoc, sine you haven't mentioned any other programs one assumes that the /etc/samba/smb.conf is the one of two places from which you can control the workgroup/domain you connect to | 02:28 |
| Samual | Hey I was wondering how I can install the latest version of handbrake on Ubuntu 9.04? | 02:28 |
| sina | how stable is chrome in ubuntu | 02:28 |
| eredeath | Chrome works like a charm for me | 02:28 |
| dj_segfault | sina: More stable than firefox ;) | 02:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | Samual, download the DEB from http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php | 02:29 |
| Samual | ZykoticK9, the 9.10 deb doesn't work for it, incorrect dependencies. | 02:29 |
| Samual | ZykoticK9, I don't know how to build dependency lists from a .deb file | 02:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | Samual, oh sorry didn't see the all important 9.04 -- i doubt it will work anymore in 9.04 sorry (something about a GTK update or something) | 02:30 |
| airtonix | Samual, http://www.google.com.au/search?q=handbrake+ppa | 02:30 |
| airtonix | CultOfTheGlenda, only if you want to mount macosx drives | 02:32 |
| Samual | airtonix, meh probably should've just done that in the first place ^_^ I was looking for the easy way out, anyway thanks that will work. | 02:32 |
| khider | hello all, who here uses Kontact for Kubuntu? | 02:32 |
| airtonix | Samual, can't get much easier than that really | 02:32 |
| chd | how come my drives don't mount automatically when ubuntu 9.10 starts? | 02:33 |
| airtonix | !ask | khider | 02:33 |
| ubottu | khider: 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. :-) | 02:33 |
| Samual | airtonix, the more lazy I can be the better | 02:33 |
| Samual | airtonix, that's what I meant. | 02:33 |
| chd | someone said I had to edit my /etc/fstab but I'm not sure how to add the line | 02:33 |
| khider | Can Kontact send under multiple alias? | 02:33 |
| Samual | ^_^ | 02:33 |
| blakkheim | chd: man fstab | 02:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Samual, if you're still around let me know if it does work in 9.04, thanks | 02:33 |
| khider | I have business e-mails and personal send from different addresses | 02:33 |
| airtonix | chd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 | 02:33 |
| khider | It looks like Kontact can onlu send under one laias | 02:33 |
| khider | alias | 02:34 |
| airtonix | khider, keep it on one line. | 02:34 |
| Samual | ZykoticK9, well, I don't need to use it right now precisely, but I will in about an hour.. If you're still on, i'll PM you about it later then? | 02:34 |
| khider | yes, sir! | 02:34 |
| RandumNumber | hello | 02:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Samual, thanks | 02:34 |
| kaie` | everytime i boot i get a 'error: invalid enviroment block" i have to press e and edit out some line before it will boot. | 02:34 |
| kaie` | my grub also says 1.97 =/ | 02:34 |
| khider | Can Kontact under kubuntu send e-mails under multiple alias'? | 02:35 |
| bluedalek | Good day all! I am trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 64bit on my system... Athlon X2 5000, 3GB, 200GB (WD) & 500GB (Fujitsu) SATA drives.. for some reason, the disc partition does not recognize the 200GB drive, it does recognize the 500. | 02:35 |
| airtonix | khider, you mean can kontact use multiple email accounts ? | 02:36 |
| sina | during updates, its asking me what i want to do with grub | 02:36 |
| airtonix | bluedalek, doesn't recongnise? doesn't show it on the list? won't format it ? which do you mean ? | 02:37 |
| sina | keep local version is the safe option right | 02:37 |
| darolu | I have 2 pop mail accounts configured in my Evolution client; I currently have a filter to separate mails from one of them to a folder; none of them support IMAP, is there a way to have them in separate folders (not using a filter)? evolution docs say is not possible but I was hopping for a plug in or something like that. | 02:37 |
| khider | airtonix: I know it can handle multiple incoming e-mails, but to 'send' e-mails, can you pick the lais to 'send' from? | 02:37 |
| airtonix | darolu, not with out creating a plugin no. filters are your only way | 02:37 |
| bluedalek | airtonix, does not recognize it at all. Not listed. It does currently have Kubuntu 9.10 32bit installed, and boots fine. Want to upgrade to 64bit due to new hardware. | 02:38 |
| airtonix | khider, i dont know have you tried setting up more accounts? i dont use kontact...only evolution. | 02:38 |
| khider | airtonix: If I send from my business address or personal--it only allows to send from one address. I cannot choose from which address I wish to send from | 02:38 |
| airtonix | bluedalek, maybe do a fsck on it then try again ? | 02:39 |
| airtonix | khider, so you want the email to look like its been sent from two email addresses ? | 02:39 |
| bluedalek | airtonix, stupid question.. whats the best way to do that? I'm not too literate when it comes to the console | 02:39 |
| khider | airtonix: No, if I receive an busness e-mail, I want to send from my business account. If I receive a personal e-mail, I want to send from my personal account | 02:40 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:41 |
| airtonix | khider, like i said, i don't use kontact... but it seems that you would first need to have both your email accounts setup before you can choose? | 02:41 |
| brjann | khider: like a lot of applications it seems kontact supports multiple identities. do you have more than one identity configured? | 02:41 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:41 |
| airtonix | khider, you should ask in #kubuntu | 02:41 |
| khider | brjann: Hey thanks--yeah ) have my business -mails and personal hooked up | 02:42 |
| sirninja | two finger scroll doesn't work on my laptop unless I run this script. http://pastebin.com/D103kxkp but sometimes it randomly stops working. Is there a better way to make this a permanent change? | 02:42 |
| khider | I had the same trouble with Evolution, and it would be nice to use just one e-mail client instead of several | 02:42 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:42 |
| h4n8 | bonjours | 02:43 |
| darolu | airtonix: thanks man, seems like I'll have to write it myself then, may take a while as I have no idea how evolution works inside :( | 02:43 |
| airtonix | darolu, i'd start with getting the python-evolution package | 02:43 |
| brjann | khider: take a read-through here, he sets up two identities and links them to a number of accounts. maybe you'll find some useful information: http://www.slackermedia.info/kontact/index.html | 02:44 |
| airtonix | !info python-evolution | darolu | 02:44 |

| [V13]Axel | Quick question. The system requirements for Ubuntu Jaunty include 256MB of system RAM. I've installed it inside Windows on a 1.6GHz, 256MB PC with a GeForce2MX, and every single time I attempt to log in, it's frozen at the login screen. | 02:44 |
| sirninja | how do I make changes from the command "xinput set-int-prop" permanent? | 02:44 |
| darolu | airtonix: thanks, I appreciate it | 02:44 |
| [V13]Axel | Can anyone help? | 02:45 |
| Mimi | Anyone know why my THEMES are all mixed up? Gnome Karmic | 02:45 |
| airtonix | darolu, you will also need to become familiar with dbus : here is one chap doing some python stuff with evolution : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323620 | 02:45 |
| jefinc | Mimi: mixed up how? | 02:45 |
| darolu | [V13]Axel: do you mean in a virtual machine? like wubi? if you did so, it is a miracle you were able to install it | 02:46 |
| airtonix | darolu, wubi is not a virtual machine. | 02:46 |
| te_ | [V13]Axel: Sounds like your running out of RAM | 02:46 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:46 |
| Mimi | jefinc, (sorry, I should elaborate). What mean, is that say, I pick Clearlooks, BUT then it looks like Elementary! And then I pick Human, and it still looks like my other theme, Elementary | 02:46 |
| [V13]Axel | darolu, I meant wubi, not a virtual machine. | 02:46 |
| sirninja | how do I make changes from the command "xinput set-int-prop" permanent? | 02:46 |
| [V13]Axel | te_: I've had it running on an identical system, and I've tried re-installing it three times on this one. I don't know how this one could be different. Same mobo, same brand of RAM, everything. Even the HDDs are identical. | 02:47 |
| darolu | airtonix: I -read/heard- wubi has two ways to install and one worked like a VM, but I don't really know as I have never tried it though. I'm already reading the link you sent me, thanks again man. | 02:48 |
| [V13]Axel | sirninja: Are you being forced to do this command every time you start up? If so, you could make your computer perform the command every time you startup, by placing it in /etc/rc.local | 02:48 |
| te_ | [V13]Axel: Sounds like a hardware issue. Try installinug more RAM or different / more RAM. | 02:48 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:48 |
| sirninja | [V13]Axel: right now I'm having to do it under startup under gnome, but that's been unreliable for some reason is rc.local a better place to put these kind of things? | 02:49 |
| [V13]Axel | darolu: Wubi installs Ubuntu inside an NTFS partition with a hard drive image. It reads from that hard drive as if it were a physical drive, ignoring the space around the image file. It runs as a regular install, reading from a single file as a hard drive. | 02:49 |
| bluedalek | join #kubuntu | 02:50 |
| bluedalek | leave | 02:50 |
| PeterT | I can't run a screen: Sorry, could not find a PTY. | 02:50 |
| [V13]Axel | rc.local is a script that is run EVERY time the system is started, running with root privileges. It's basically like the equivalent of DOS and Win9x's autoexec.bat. It runs commands on startup. | 02:50 |
| airtonix | PeterT, you need to be more descriptive than that | 02:50 |
| jefinc | [V13]Axel: if the minimum requirement for jaunty is 256MB RAM, and the minimum requirement for WindowsXP is 256MB RAM, and you have 256MB RAM, you're 256MB RAM short, no? | 02:50 |
| PeterT | airtonix: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/65491-no-more-ptys-sorry-could-not-find-pty.html | 02:50 |
| darolu | [V13]Axel: Try to get more ram, or installing with "the regular" method; I have a PIII @ 650Mhz with 384MB of RAM running Debian 5 amazingly -fast- (considering the hardware), it has a 128MB Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 though. | 02:51 |
| PeterT | airtonix: That's exactly my problem | 02:51 |
| Des_ | Can anyone please help me install my proper ATI drivers? I'm having trouble installing them for my Mobility Radeon 9600 card. Tried so many solutions and still can't get it. | 02:51 |
| PeterT | airtonix: But I couldn't really understand the solution | 02:51 |
| airtonix | PeterT, this is a ubuntu channel not a redhat channel | 02:51 |
| [V13]Axel | jefinc: No, I've had it working perfectly fine. | 02:51 |
| PeterT | airtonix: Same problem, different OS | 02:51 |
| airtonix | PeterT, so you not using ubuntu then? | 02:51 |
| jefinc | [V13]Axel: with Jaunty? or a previous version? | 02:51 |
| PeterT | airtonix: I am | 02:51 |
| te_ | [V13]Axel: We think you need more system resources. | 02:51 |
| [V13]Axel | darolu: I can't currently, as I don't have a way to burn the iso to a disc. I'm going to try installing with the regular method later, once I have complete access. | 02:51 |
| [V13]Axel | jefinc: With Jaunty. | 02:51 |
| [V13]Axel | te_: That's the thing. I've had the EXACT same setup, wubi and all, running on an identical machine. I'm going to drop to command line and see if I can startx. | 02:52 |
| airtonix | PeterT, are you familiar with manager users and groups ? | 02:52 |
| airtonix | PeterT, managing * | 02:52 |
| PeterT | airtonix: No | 02:52 |
| airtonix | PeterT, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto | 02:53 |
| PeterT | airtonix: I'm using SSH, that link is of no use to me | 02:53 |
| Des_ | Can anyone please help me install my proper ATI drivers? I'm having trouble installing them for my Mobility Radeon 9600 card. Tried so many solutions and still can't get it. | 02:53 |
| airtonix | PeterT, not my problem. install links2 | 02:53 |
| PeterT | airtonix: Never mind, there is a command line part | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo adduser billgates :) | 02:54 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: What do you mean? What's the occurring problem? The drivers will not take? | 02:54 |
| PeterT | airtonix: So, do I add the user to the group "tty" as instructed on the foruM | 02:54 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: I cannot play 3d games nor change my resolution above 1024 | 02:54 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: It's obvious that it's not detecting the drivers and whenever I try to install them, it doesn't make a difference. | 02:55 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: In System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, does it show any enabled? | 02:55 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: Nope. | 02:55 |
| airtonix | PeterT, no idea. i don't run game servers. but without a basic understanding of how to manipulate users and groups you're not going to get very far | 02:55 |
| Mimi | My themes are mixed up. Say I pick ClearLooks. Great. Then I pick DarkRoom. Uh oh! It looks mixed between DarkRoom and Clearlooks! Then I pick Dust. Now it looks like a mix between DarkRoom and Dust! What the bunny!?? It happens with all themes. What's wrong? | 02:55 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: The ATI Catalyst is unsupported. So I tried using EnvyNG and other drivers...still nothing. | 02:56 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: Just a basic troubleshooting method.. Have you updated everything? sudo apt-get update? | 02:56 |
| airtonix | Mimi, does it provide error message that reads like : you are missing blah engine ? | 02:56 |
| PeterT | airtonix: Thanks anyway | 02:56 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: I believe so, but I will do that anyway. | 02:56 |
| Mimi | airstrike, hmm.. no, it doesnt | 02:56 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: Okay. It's just troubleshooting. Start with the simple things and work your way up. | 02:56 |
| progesterone | Question: Do you think 20GB is enough for LAMP development machine? | 02:56 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: Sounds good. Let me try that. | 02:57 |
| airtonix | progesterone, it's a bit overkill to be honest | 02:57 |
| jefinc | progesterone: for sure, unless you're hosting files | 02:57 |
| mdel | progesterone: entirely dependant on your needs | 02:57 |
| Mimi | airstrike, but some themes say that Nuovo-something theme isn't installed | 02:57 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: I should also mention that I'm a windows user new to ubuntu | 02:57 |
| progesterone | airtonix What do you mean? | 02:57 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: If the problem persists, I'll be on in the morning, but for now, I have to get off of here. I'm going to remain online (Or try), and if you need ANY help at all, PM me. | 02:57 |
| Mimi | airstrike, Nuovo ICON theme, that is ^^;; | 02:57 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: Okay, I was one about a year ago, so I know where you're coming from :D | 02:58 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do after all this stuff lists and it says 99% waiting for headers. | 02:58 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: That's comforting. | 02:58 |
| airtonix | progesterone, of all the times i've backed up my apache root and mysql files... its never come to more than 1gb (and thats running lots of different development sites) | 02:58 |
| progesterone | airtonix jefinc mdel Thanks | 02:59 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: Well, in a year's time, you become very familiar with a lot of things in Ubuntu. I'm not going to say I know everything, but I'm pretty good at a lot of things. | 02:59 |
| airtonix | Mimi, the situation you describe only occurs when a theme can't find the engine it requires... | 02:59 |
| [V13]Axel | Des_: Anyway, if you ever need support, just PM me. I should be on tomorrow morning for a while, and tomorrow afternoon all day. Goodnight, all. | 03:00 |
| airtonix | Mimi, it also sounds like you are using the first layer theme selector list . customise a theme and switch 'control themes' | 03:00 |
| Des_ | [V13]Axel: Thanks. | 03:00 |
| Mimi | airstrike, Yeah, when I go to Customize, any Control Theme looks mixed up too. Say, the colors will change, but the buttons, scroll bars, might look like another theme, where the rest of the interface changes | 03:01 |
| airtonix | Mimi, you should get an error message when switching control themes around. | 03:01 |
| Mimi | airstrike, I'll run the Appearances from the Terminal | 03:01 |
| airtonix | Mimi, i mean the error will appear below the control theme selector list | 03:02 |
| Mimi | airstrike, oh, no, there isn't one there when I change themes | 03:02 |
| Dr_Mike | When doing apt-get operations, the "reading database" step is very slow. Is there any way to clean, rebuild, or otherwise optimize that database? | 03:03 |
| blakkheim | Dr_Mike: get an ssd or faster hd | 03:03 |
| chd | when I try to edit my fstab I cant save it. how do I open it so that I can save it? | 03:04 |
| blakkheim | chd: sudo vi /etc/fstab | 03:04 |
| chd | blakkheim, thanks | 03:04 |
| te_ | chd: or sudo vim /etc/fstab | 03:04 |
| Dr_Mike | blakkheim: um, no. whatever format that DB is in, it shouldn't degrade in this manner | 03:04 |
| chd | whats the difference between vi and vim | 03:05 |
| blakkheim | chd: vim has more features, but vi is smaller | 03:05 |
| chd | vim command not found | 03:05 |
| te_ | chd: That solves that. | 03:05 |
| blakkheim | chd: either install vim or just use vi like i said befor | 03:06 |
| chd | gotcha | 03:06 |
| blakkheim | e | 03:06 |

| etzerd | te_: after I install Ubuntu and reboot the screen went blank, no video. the only way I can see something is if I choose VESA then I can see the screen. but when I use vesa I cannot change the resolution. the resolution is like 1024 X 768 where the machine support 1920X900 | 03:18 |
| neil_d | how come no webmin package in the repositories? Is there another similar package to use instead? | 03:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | !webmin | neil_d | 03:18 |
| ubottu | neil_d: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 03:19 |
| densone | fossilxyz, if you cant even ping. Its likely routing or a connectivity issue . Have it worked before? | 03:19 |
| fossilxyz | it has, the only big change, is i let it install samba so i can share the printer | 03:19 |
| te_ | etzerd: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg.conf | 03:19 |
| te_ | or dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:19 |

| fossilxyz | in rhw Connection Info box I see the internet (wlan2) the asssigned IP (same as router tells me) the default route make sense | 03:20 |
| fossilxyz | thats why i am sooo confused | 03:20 |
| fossilxyz | if it wasnt' acquiring IP info I'd know where to dig around, but since it is showing an IP and the router is seing the computer, i am dumbfounded | 03:21 |
| densone | fossilxyz, can you ping the system from another computer? | 03:21 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: iwconfig essid wlan0 linksys ; dhclient wlan0 | 03:21 |
| fossilxyz | no, can't ping it from a diff computer | 03:21 |

| dehqan | which multimedia player do you advice ? | 03:22 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: (where "linksys" is the essid of your wifi router.) | 03:22 |
| fossilxyz | te_ should I change the linksys to my SSID? | 03:22 |
| fossilxyz | ok right | 03:22 |
| fossilxyz | also on my system its wlan2 should I do wlan2 or wlan0 as you say? | 03:23 |
| neil_d | ZykoticK9: ok I will try ebox. | 03:23 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: What ever your wifi NIC is (wlan0 is just an example) | 03:23 |
| dehqan | ? | 03:24 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: And you'll need to use sudo. | 03:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, i've never used ebox myself, but i get the impression it is VERY different from WebMin - just a heads up | 03:24 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: sudo iwconfig essid wlan2 linksys ; sudo dhclient wlan2 | 03:24 |
| aztek[tum] | so what do you all think my odds are on things not breaking if i dist-upgrade to debian | 03:24 |
| fossilxyz | gives me an unkown command "wlan2" | 03:24 |
| neil_d | ZykoticK9: ok! it is installing apache so it seems to be browser accessed. | 03:25 |
| fossilxyz | are we missing a parameter? | 03:25 |
| te_ | aztek[tum]: We don't know for sure. | 03:25 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: sudo iwconfig wlan2 essid linksys ; sudo dhclient wlan2 | 03:25 |

| Kutakizukari | installed the lamp stack, it will restart stop and run but when I run those commands "sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart" it says "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName". Is this normal? | 03:28 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: ifconfig | 03:29 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, did you read the ubuntu wiki page i linked to you ? | 03:29 |
| densone | Kutakizukari: thats ok | 03:29 |
| fossilxyz | another thing I was playing with earlier trying to troubleshoot is ifdown/ifup and it gave me an error ignoring unknown interface wlan2=wlan2 | 03:29 |
| fossilxyz | not sure if that means anything or maybe somhow it thinks there is more than one | 03:29 |
| Kutakizukari | airstrike, that is how I installed it | 03:29 |
| Kutakizukari | densone, ok thank you | 03:29 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, then keep reading the page | 03:29 |
| fossilxyz | ifconfig has eth0, lo, wlan2, wmaster0 | 03:29 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 03:30 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, basically just cant lookup the hostname servername. Not an issue. | 03:30 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: if you are not getting proper IP information from the router, you can manually enter it. | 03:30 |
| dehqan | airtonix: is this enoughe ? ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:30 |
| dehqan | no gtreamer? | 03:31 |
| airtonix | dehqan, i dont know did you read the page ? | 03:31 |
| dehqan | yes | 03:31 |
| fossilxyz | te_, but I seemingly am, the router sees the machine, the IP seems to be correctly assigned and showing everywhere | 03:31 |
| densone | fossilxyz, anything in iptables? | 03:31 |
| Kutakizukari | airtonix, looked through the whole page, not sure what I'm missing? | 03:31 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: Is the router giving access to internet? | 03:32 |
| fossilxyz | te: it is, i am connecting through it to chat with you (via a Vista laptop) | 03:32 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, are you able to browse to the web server you just setup? | 03:32 |
| ruien | I am trying to ssh into my ubuntu machine from an outside network and getting "connection refused". I can ssh (to port 22) from my internal network to this machine without a problem. I have also forwarded port 2222 on my router to port 22 on my ubuntu server. the command I am running (from the outside) is ssh -p 2222 myuser@123.123.123.123 (substitute my router's IP address). My iptables -L shows (policy ACCEPT) for INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT. root login is | 03:32 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: Then you are properly connected to the LAN. | 03:32 |
| Kutakizukari | densone, yes php works and mysql | 03:33 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, good | 03:33 |
| fossilxyz | densone, what am I looking for in iptables, it seems to say accept to everyting | 03:33 |
| densone | fossilxyz: are there any other rules? | 03:33 |
| te_ | ruien: nmap -p 2222 123.123.123 or namp -p 22 123.123.123.123 | 03:34 |
| fossilxyz | running iptables --list as sudo just shows chain input (accept) chain forward (accept) chain output (accept) | 03:34 |
| fossilxyz | nothing else | 03:34 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, also the proper way to restart apache on karmic is "sudo service apache2 restart|stop|start" | 03:34 |
| ruien | te_: thank you much, i will check it out. | 03:34 |
| gizmobay | Anyone here familiar with kdiff3? | 03:34 |
| densone | ruien: anthing in messages or secure? | 03:34 |
| ruien | densone: i didn't check.. does sshd log in /var/log? | 03:35 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: Maybe port 113 is being blocked? | 03:35 |
| airtonix | !anyone | gizmobay | 03:35 |
| ubottu | gizmobay: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 03:35 |
| fossilxyz | te_ how do I check .... | 03:35 |
| densone | ruien /var/log/messages | 03:35 |
| fossilxyz | is there something that installing samba coulda messed up somehow? | 03:35 |
| ruien | ok. thx | 03:35 |
| densone | err | 03:35 |
| Kutakizukari | airtonix, get the same thing but it spits it out three times | 03:35 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: nmap -p 113 ip.of.pc.in.question | 03:35 |
| densone | ruien: /var/log/secure | 03:35 |
| gizmobay | I'm comparing files in dir A to B that needs to merged into C | 03:36 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: or nmap -p 113 ip.of.router | 03:36 |
| gizmobay | I'd like to save into C | 03:36 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, how many entries do you have in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ ? | 03:36 |
| gizmobay | will ctrl-s do this or will it save into A | 03:36 |
| fossilxyz | ahh nmap not installed on the machine | 03:37 |
| densone | Kutakizukari: that message is going to popup unless you have a fqdn match. | 03:37 |
| airtonix | gizmobay, you should join #kubuntu | 03:37 |
| Kutakizukari | airtonix, one file | 03:37 |
| te_ | gizmobay: something like cat a > c ; cat b >> c | 03:37 |
| fossilxyz | (is there a way to reset all network rules?) i mean it used to work 5 hours ago, the only change was installins samba | 03:38 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, did you just copy paste my example verbatim? | 03:38 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, | means or. so you stop apache by using : sudo service apache2 stop | 03:38 |
| Kutakizukari | places and selected the folders | 03:38 |
| densone | fossilxyz, does it work if you stop samba? | 03:38 |
| Kutakizukari | airtonix, yes typed it in terminal | 03:39 |
| Damascene | hello, | 03:39 |
| Damascene | No supported stream was found. You might need to install a GStreamer RTSP extension plugin for Real media streams. | 03:39 |
| Kutakizukari | densone, what is a fqdn match | 03:39 |
| Damascene | what is the name of the package? | 03:39 |
| fossilxyz | how do i stop samba? | 03:39 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, thats why you got a response x3.. | 03:39 |
| fossilxyz | sudo service samba stop? | 03:39 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, Fully Qualified Domain Name | 03:39 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: yep, that should do it. | 03:40 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: or smb | 03:40 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, fully qualified domain name. When you start Apache server it looks at the virtual host names in the config files. Yours is called ServerName. So it is looking for a dns match to ServerName. Apache will work fine. Its just a warning. Nothing to be alarmed about. | 03:40 |
| fossilxyz | service stopped, no luck | 03:40 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting Apache | 03:41 |
| Kutakizukari | says using 127.0.1.1 for ServeName is it as simple as changed the server name? | 03:41 |
| happyhello | How do I get to the Horde chat? | 03:41 |
| gizmobay | I checked save original and did a ctrl-s. It saves to C | 03:41 |
| fossilxyz | real weird i just noticed, under network connections in xwindows it has the Last used as Never for the Wireless SSID, as opposed to something like 1 min ago like it used to | 03:41 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: services-admin | 03:41 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, you can ignore that message | 03:41 |
| airtonix | Kutakizukari, you relly ought to read that whole page | 03:41 |
| fossilxyz | te_: command not found both as regular and sudo | 03:42 |
| happyhello | How do I get to: #horde channel on irc.freenode.net | 03:42 |
| airtonix | fossilxyz, do you even have samba installed ? | 03:42 |
| airtonix | happyhello, /join #horde | 03:42 |
| Pici | happyhello: /join #horde | 03:43 |
| densone | Kutakizukari, airtonix is pointing out the fact that this error is described in that wiki doc. Search for ServerName in the link you got. | 03:43 |
| fossilxyz | at this point not even sure.. during my earlier troubleshooting i used synaptic to mess with it 99% sure uninstalled at this point already | 03:44 |
| fossilxyz | but then when i ran the sudo service samba stop it didn't give an errors | 03:44 |
| fossilxyz | so maybe its still running | 03:44 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: dpkg -L samba | 03:44 |

| blueghost | 我被freenode踢出去了 | 03:46 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: or with a MS Windows pc? Ok with a Vista machine, you will need to install and configure samba | 03:46 |
| felix | I need help : my friend is now on a Live CD and he can't log in, because Ubuntu ask him a password... | 03:46 |
| fossilxyz | yea, but sharing that printer is problem #2, since the current machine that has the printer connected to it is the ubuntu pc that doesn't want to be friends with anyone on the network | 03:47 |
| felix | but he is on a Live CD...?! | 03:47 |
| Kutakizukari | Found it and fixed, I skiped that part and could not remember that part when it says to restart it | 03:47 |

| fossilxyz | no, not unless samba installed one during the install process | 03:51 |
| ruien | te_: running nmap from the outside shows my port 22 and port 2222 both as "filtered". Note that i need to add the -P0 flag (no ping) to nmap for it to work, even though ping 123.123.123.123 directly *does* work. It seems like my ubuntu server is filtering outside networks, but i don't see why or how.

| terroh8er | with hardware drivers, do i have to restart after i activate them for them to show up as being activated? | 03:59 |
| Redxross | densone, I am really new to linux. Mind telling me where specifically that would be? | 03:59 |
| madjoe | !who | madjoe | 03:59 |
| ubottu | madjoe, please see my private message | 03:59 |
| Redxross | happyhello10, no clue what cPanel is | 04:00 |
| densone | Redxross: Let me see if I can login to my ubuntu machine at my office | 04:00 |
| densone | 1 sec | 04:00 |
| Redxross | densone, thank you very much | 04:00 |
| te_ | fossilxyz: Is your wireless router using any type of encryption? | 04:00 |
| gringochapin | Felix: I'm not sure, perhaps someone else in the channel knows what it is. | 04:00 |
| gringochapin | Felix: have you tried leaving it blank? | 04:01 |
| happyhello10 | quit | 04:01 |
| densone | Redxross: installing tomcat now | 04:02 |
| Redxross | densone, thank you very much man.... so nice of you to take a personal interest in helping.. one day i hope to pay it forward ;D | 04:03 |
| gringochapin | Felix: no user name and no password, username ubuntu and password blank, user name and password both ubuntu try various combinations. | 04:04 |
| Ubuntufan123 | My nvidia x server settings won't save when I reboot even though I ran nvidia x server settings as root and saved the x config file as root, any ideas? (I'm using a 42'' LCD monitor and Geforce 6200 video card) ubuntu Karmic | 04:04 |
| Redxross | i really love ubuntu so far.. just need to get around knowing it well enough to ditch windows | 04:04 |
| densone | Redxross: no prob. I know tomcat well. Don't mind sharing knowledge. Just never installed it with apt before | 04:04 |
| Redxross | densone, how do you normally install it and what is the difference? | 04:05 |
| densone | Redxross: I usually use a tarball and write my own wrappers. But there is nothing wrong with using apt. I personally didn't know it existed in the apt repo. | 04:06 |

| Redxross | note to self, learn about tarball's | 04:06 |
| scadfux | hello. | 04:07 |
| Ubuntufan123 | just posted x server settings | 04:07 |
| scadfux | how do i get to the ubuntu support? | 04:07 |
| densone | Redxross: mirrors are slow for me. Gonne be a few more minutes. Hang in there. Because Tomcat runs off of a JDK, there are no crazy build things that need to be done to make it run. A tarball is basically just a zip file | 04:07 |
| te_ | Redxross: tar zxvf tar-ball.gz ; ./configure ; make ; sudo make install | 04:08 |
| Redxross | awesome, thanks guys | 04:08 |
| Redxross | densone, i am very patient =) | 04:08 |
| densone | Redxross: cool. at 70% gonna make some coffee. Brb | 04:08 |
| Ubuntufan123 | so again, x server settings don't save after boot even though I saved them as root to xorg.conf before rebooting | 04:09 |
| petsounds | scadfux, this is the official ubuntu irc support channel :) | 04:12 |
| densone | Redxross: ok , looking at the config files now | 04:12 |
| prefrontal | are there Stand-alone Mesa GL packages (e.g., software only) available? i have only found hardware-accelerated mesa packages available. | 04:12 |
| Redxross | densone, cool | 04:13 |
| Monona | How do I set my soundcard to it's own IRQ? There's no clear way to do it in BIOS. | 04:14 |
| Redxross | densone, basically i have about 10 .jar files which in windows I usually just put in the tomcat6\lib folder and then place the web app in the \tomcat6\webapp folder... basically i am trying to replicate the same in ubuntu | 04:14 |
| terroh8er | i just installed the flash plugin from the software library, but flash doesnt work in firefox.. ami doing something wrong? | 04:14 |
| densone | Redxross: yup. looking now where that lib dir should be | 04:14 |
| Redxross | densone, i think its supposed to be /usr/tomcat6/lib | 04:15 |
| === Xintruder_ is now known as Xintruder | ||
| densone | Redxross: is there a /usr/tomcat6? | 04:15 |
| Redxross | densone, but when I try to copy and paste those files in there, it says not allowed and also all the files in that folder are link files pointing to somewhere else | 04:15 |
| Redxross | densone, err /usr/share/tomcat6 | 04:16 |
| densone | Redxross: thats the spot | 04:16 |
| densone | looks like $catalina_home | 04:17 |
| Redxross | densone, by dragging and dropping the files i get a permission denied error | 04:17 |
| densone | yeah, you need permissions to do it | 04:17 |
| densone | Redxross: lets see who the owner is | 04:18 |
| Redxross | densone, using chmod? | 04:18 |
| densone | Redxross: no you don't want to use chmod | 04:18 |
| andre_pl | I'm using an SVN PPA which has a broken dependency, one of the addon packages relies on an slightly older version of the main package, how can I force apt to install it anyway? | 04:18 |
| densone | Redxross: you can add your user to the root group , or copy with sudo | 04:19 |
| Marine_ | I'm back from the game! | 04:19 |
| Redxross | densone, how do i add myself to the root group? or do it with sudo? | 04:19 |
| densone | Where are the jar files on the system? | 04:20 |
| Empty_foo | dont root yourself .. | 04:20 |
| gringochapin | terroh8er: I'm a bit of a noob, so I don't have any brilliant ideas for you, but if you haven't, you might try following the steps in this mini-tutorial http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash | 04:20 |
| Redxross | on my desktop | 04:20 |
| Empty_foo | always use su | 04:20 |
| te_ | Redxross: By root group, densone means adm | 04:20 |
| gringochapin | Terroh8er: good luck. | 04:20 |
| densone | Redxross: you can open a terminal and do something like sudo cp *.jar /usr/share/tomcat6/lib | 04:20 |
| Redxross | densone, awesome let me try it | 04:21 |
| gasull | Hi. My DVD player (and my laptop) was bought in Europe, and now I can't play DVDs bought in the US. Is there anything I can do besides using the command regionset? Thank you. | 04:21 |
| Empty_foo | lol.. see what happens when you come in late.. lol | 04:21 |
| densone | Redxross: you need to be in the directory where the jar files are for that to work | 04:21 |
| airtonix | gasull, no. | 04:21 |
| gasull | airtonix: And once I've changed the region 5 times... | 04:22 |
| airtonix | gasull, you have a problem. | 04:22 |
| gasull | airtonix: at that point, can I buy a DVD player that won't have this problem? | 04:22 |
| airtonix | gasull, this is a ubuntu support channel not a hardware channel | 04:22 |
| terroh8er | wooohoooo i got my wireless working | 04:23 |
| Redxross | densone, oh it worked.. so does that mean I can't window drag and drop to do those type of operations where sudo permission is required? | 04:23 |
| gasull | airtonix: OK. I just joined #hardware. Thanks. | 04:23 |
| densone | Redxross: if your user is in the admin group you can. I honestly don't know how to edit the groups from the ubuntu ui. (I only use ubuntu server) . I am sure you can find it in the admin panel though. | 04:24 |

| adelie42 | having a problem with Firestarter. dhcp will assign addresses, but clients can not connect out. Firestarter is set to permissive, and gateway is connecting to internet. help please. | 04:25 |
| adelie42 | (firestarter policy set to permissive) | 04:26 |
| densone | Souljah_: odd. Maybe you deleted the file? | 04:26 |
| Redxross | densone, well thank you so much for your awesome help.. i learned a lot | 04:26 |
| Souljah_ | negative | 04:26 |
| densone | Redxross: Your welcome. Glad to hear. | 04:26 |
| Souljah_ | the question is: should it be there in 9.10 still? | 04:26 |
| densone | It's in my 9.10 installation | 04:27 |
| Souljah_ | editet it in earlier versions, but nowaday its not really neccessary | 04:27 |
| densone | Souljah_: not totally sure if its needed though | 04:27 |
| Souljah_ | densone: hmm, same here | 04:28 |
| Souljah_ | ty anyways | 04:28 |

| Souljah_ | already was frightened u want to tell me sth.`bout nano xD | 04:30 |
| Souljah_ | claws: sry :) | 04:30 |
| elijah | How do I display the file creation date in tty? | 04:31 |
| mneptok | Souljah_: the IM lingo is extremely annoying. | 04:31 |
| densone | claws, 1 sec . Looking at your question | 04:31 |
| te_ | elijah: ls -l | 04:31 |
| claws | densone, gr8 :) | 04:31 |
| elijah | te_: If that is creation date then how do I get modification date? | 04:32 |
| mneptok | !lol | claws | 04:32 |
| ubottu | claws: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 04:32 |
| Bohemian | i made a mistake... i did "chmod 777 ~/" in root, meant to chmod 777 the home dir of a user (not root). how do i reverse? what is the default in ubuntu 9.10? | 04:32 |
| elijah | te_: ls -l is not giving me the time I am looking for | 04:32 |
| densone | claws, What was the app that froze? | 04:32 |
| te_ | elijah: It IS the modification date (if in fact, the file has been modified). | 04:32 |
| elijah | te_: I just extracted an archive to a folder, it overwrote the identical files, how do I show the time the files were overwritten by tar? | 04:33 |
| elijah | Or did tar see if they were identical and not overwrite? | 04:33 |
| Samual | Hey, I have FL Studio in Wine and when I try to start it I get a line in dmesg saying "Too big adjustment 32" | 04:33 |
| claws | densone, it was "Tux Typing" | 04:33 |
| Samual | It used to work and I didn't get that before, now it doesn't start at all | 04:33 |
| tmukmkd | bohemian 755 if im not mistaaken | 04:33 |
| te_ | elijah: Are you on ext3 or ext4? | 04:34 |
| Bohemian | tmukmkd: okay, thanks. that's what i did | 04:34 |
| elijah | te_: Not sure, remote server | 04:34 |
| te_ | elijah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614568 | 04:34 |
| psilo2 | elijah: there is no creation timestamp on ext3, which you probably use. | 04:34 |
| elijah | According to this, *nix doesn't store creation time, only modification time http://www.issociate.de/board/post/302628/How_to_check_file_creation_date.html | 04:34 |
| mneptok | elijah: ls -lc | 04:34 |
| psilo2 | elijah: to be clear, it's not *nix that doesn't store it, it is the filesystem a lot of people choose (ext3) | 04:35 |
| chiennguyen | #ubuntu-vn | 04:35 |
| chiennguyen | why is ext3 | 04:36 |
| elijah | mneptok: That worked | 04:36 |
| te_ | elijah: the fstab file should tell you what filesystem you are using. | 04:36 |
| psilo2 | or fdisk -l | 04:36 |
| elijah | te_: Where is that | 04:36 |
| densone | claws, From the terminal killall tuxtype | 04:36 |
| densone | that should kill the program | 04:37 |
| Souljah_ | wth is tuxtype? | 04:37 |
| densone | Souljah_: kids typing tool it looks like | 04:38 |
| claws | densone, i cant even open terminal... the program is on ToP of everything | 04:38 |
| psilo2 | kids don't need to be typing they need to get me a beer | 04:38 |
| elijah | psilo2: Gotcha | 04:38 |
| sevol | what is the easiest way to rip and convert an audio cd with .wav to .mp3 ? | 04:38 |
| mkey | leaving | 04:39 |
| te_ | sevol: lame | 04:39 |
| elijah | te_: How do I access fstab? | 04:39 |
| densone | claws: ahh. And it hangs. Other than killing the X Server. No idea. Anyone else ? | 04:39 |
| te_ | sev lame file.wav file.mp3 | 04:39 |
| claws | densone, Souljah_ | 04:40 |
| claws | oops | 04:40 |
| Souljah_ | elijah: gnome: sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 04:40 |
| te_ | sevol: lame file.wav file.mp3 | 04:40 |
| sevol | te_: ok, but is there a software that would do it all? rip all selected songs from cd n convert it? | 04:40 |
| Dougdoug4 | Hello, I have a major problem. | 04:40 |
| Souljah_ | but if you dont know that, think about what you do, this couldbe dangerous | 04:40 |
| psilo2 | claws: ctrl-alt-f1 and do it from there. | 04:40 |
| densone | claws: you can set ctrl, alt, backspace to restart the xserver if it hangs | 04:40 |
| Dougdoug4 | When it comes to Ubuntu, I'm a total dolt. | 04:40 |
| Souljah_ | claws: waddup? | 04:40 |
| Dougdoug4 | So listen, here's my problem. I'm using Ubuntu on my laptop that has a Broadcom wireless adapter thing.. | 04:40 |
| sevol | te_: right now what i mdoing is copy pasting the files in the audio cd which are in (wav) files to desktop then converting | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | And Ubuntu doesn't recognize my Broadcom adapter | 04:41 |
| densone | psilo2: what does ctrl-alt-f1 do? | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | So I can't get internet | 04:41 |
| te_ | sevol: There are several front end GUI applications that will do that. grip is probably the simpliest and esiest to use, (IMO) | 04:41 |
| terroh8er__ | dougdoug, i just had the same problem | 04:41 |
| sevol | te_: how would i get that? apt-get install grip? | 04:41 |
| elijah | Souljah_: My webhost gives me a etc folder but no fstab | 04:41 |
| terroh8er__ | do you have any wired internet? | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | Me? | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | I do | 04:41 |
| psilo2 | densone: VTs. You get 6 of them in just about every modern linux. ctrl-alt-f[1-6] are the VTs, X is usually spawned on VT7. Try it. | 04:41 |
| elijah | Souljah_: Thanks though! | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | I'm on wired internet right now | 04:41 |
| Dougdoug4 | That's how I'm here | 04:41 |
| densone | elijah: you are chrooted | 04:42 |
| jhambo | I installed virtualbox but inside the guest (win xp) I can't seem to get a network adapter. Any ideas? | 04:42 |
| Dougdoug4 | but I want to be able to connect wirelessly | 04:42 |
| progesterone | Question: Do you guys know what the working fix for slow internet connection on Ubuntu is? | 04:43 |
| densone | psilo2: ohhh Totally forgot you could break out of x and use those | 04:43 |
| terroh8er__ | dougdoug4: i am a linux noob, but i also had a problem with my broadcom adapter (4312) .. i just activated the BW43 drivers though and it worked? | 04:43 |
| elijah | densone: Not sure what that means | 04:43 |
| te_ | progesterone: a faster internet connection. | 04:43 |
| terroh8er__ | progesterone: i'm having the same problem. i was just wondering the same thing | 04:44 |
| progesterone | te_ no. The internet is ok with XP and Vista. | 04:44 |
| densone | elijah: web hosting providers put you in chrooted virtual servers. You will not have things like fstabs in your chroot jail. | 04:44 |
| psilo2 | densone: for thoroughness, only alt-f[1-6] is necessary unless you're coming from X, then you need ctrl-alt- *shrug* | 04:44 |
| densone | psilo2: thx | 04:44 |
| progesterone | terroh8er__ I found many fixes but I'm not quite sure which one would be working for me. | 04:45 |
| elijah | densone: Gotcha, I guess I could just assume that I am on ext4 since ls -lc appears to work | 04:45 |
| te_ | progesterone: We would have to know more about your LAN and equipment, as in what network adapters and any such equipment used to connect to the internet. | 04:45 |
| psilo2 | elijah: see anything by typing mount? | 04:45 |
| elijah | psilo2: I see a bunch with "mount" | 04:45 |
| te_ | progesterone: We would also need to know how you are testing speeds. | 04:45 |
| psilo2 | elijah: ls -lc is 'ctime' which is not necessarily what you think. | 04:45 |
| claws_ | gr8... it happened again | 04:45 |
| elijah | psilo2: What is ctime? | 04:46 |
| terroh8er__ | progesterone: what is slow? i did a speed test and it came up somewhat normal, but transmission and apt-get is around 50kb/s | 04:46 |
| psilo2 | elijah: what's mounted on /? that'll be your filesystem. | 04:46 |
| elijah | psilo2: /dev/root | 04:46 |
| psilo2 | elijah: paste that whole line. (one line please) | 04:46 |
| elijah | /dev/root on /lib type virtfs (defaults) | 04:47 |
| psilo2 | elijah: ctime == "change time"; as in, the last change to the file's metadata. In the case of a file that was just created, ctime happens to be the creation time, but if the file's metadata is altered then it's no longer the same. | 04:47 |
| psilo2 | virtfs huh *shrug* | 04:47 |
| psilo2 | never heard of such a thing | 04:48 |
| elijah | psilo2: There are 20 more lines similar to that with mount | 04:48 |
| elijah | all virtfs though | 04:48 |
| densone | elijah: can you type mount? | 04:48 |
| elijah | psilo2: So it is likely change time then | 04:48 |
| densone | that should show you the fs | 04:48 |
| psilo2 | elijah: pretty likely yeah | 04:48 |
| === matias is now known as Guest22757 | ||

| densone | oh lol | 04:49 |

| densone | sorry , must have falled alseep | 04:49 |
| progesterone | te_ terroh8er__ When I request Google, the status bar of the browser shows 'looking up www.google.com' for more than one minute. | 04:49 |
| psilo2 | elijah: how about fdisk -l /dev/root | 04:49 |
| psilo2 | /dev/root sounds like an LV to me, but I don't see why mount wouldn't show the filesystem type | 04:50 |
| elijah | psilo2: -jailshell: fdisk: command not found | 04:50 |
| te_ | progesterone: The only way you can test your speed is by timing a download. You can also use one of the speed test sites, such as speakeasy.net | 04:50 |
| psilo2 | elijah: dunno dude; you can test easily anyway. | 04:50 |
| densone | elijah: fdisk wont run in a jail | 04:50 |
| elijah | speakeasy.net/speedtest - yeah! | 04:50 |
| te_ | progesterone: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ | 04:51 |
| elijah | psilo2: It's all good | 04:51 |
| psilo2 | you bet it is | 04:51 |

| crackguy | ZykoticK9, alright, thanks | 04:56 |
| psilo2 | densone: ditto, just messin with you | 04:56 |
| psilo2 | I run XMonad and a bunch of terminals and am quite happy | 04:56 |

| mihir | is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager | 04:57 |
| psilo2 | It's ok. I've been bitten by a few bugs in packages that were a little too bleeding edge to be server-appropriate. Ah well. | 04:57 |

| bluedalek | Souljah: yes, read the ubuntu forums how-to, and when I followed the instructions, kate opened a blank file | 05:00 |
| brjann | bluedalek: how about this one? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation | 05:00 |
| Souljah_ | bluedalek: then you opened the wrong file | 05:00 |
| donavan01 | so is flash still a giant pain in the but or did my install just get messed up cause mine is acting goofy | 05:01 |
| Souljah_ | bluedalek: or your system is not bootable | 05:01 |
| densone | donavan01: flash is a simple install | 05:01 |
| Souljah_ | but a must have,in comparison to gnah or swfec | 05:01 |
| Souljah_ | *swfdec | 05:01 |
| donavan01 | densone yeah no problem installing it but its acting funny ... sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt | 05:01 |
| paulhomebus | @bluedalek --- there it is .... http://superuser.com/questions/111302/aesthetically-editing-grub-cfg | 05:01 |
| Souljah_ | donavan01: ur running x64 or x86 | 05:02 |
| bluedalek | Souljah: system is not bootable unless I manually add 'pci=nomsi' | 05:02 |
| donavan01 | souljah x64 | 05:02 |
| Souljah_ | than you have to life with the trouble :) | 05:02 |
| Souljah_ | nomsi, haha | 05:02 |
| Souljah_ | cry it out in the world:NO MSI | 05:02 |
| densone | donavan01: I avoid flash as much as I can, but I can tell you there are always differences betweem linux and other operating systems. Seems to be more buddy and adobe takes their sweet time fixing things. | 05:02 |
| densone | err buggy not buddy | 05:03 |
| bluedalek | paulhomebus: won't let me edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 05:03 |
| paulhomebus | anyone with that keyboard shortcut solution? I guess I need to automatically load a daemon, or maybe I've disabled it.... | 05:03 |
| donavan01 | densone yeah I hear you drives me nuts ... cant stand flash but I like hulu.com so im torn | 05:03 |
| DebiansArmy | Elive is finally stable whatever that means... Took them long enough with enlightment desktop... | 05:03 |
| paulhomebus | @bluedalek - won't let? ie permissions? | 05:03 |
| densone | donavan01: haha. Yeah. Fwiw. Hulu works for me on linux. | 05:03 |
| densone | donavan01: try installing the latest deb from abobe.com | 05:04 |
| DebiansArmy | sudo or su for editing grub | 05:05 |
| donavan01 | densone ... that was the next step I had to go to windows for a while cause of school and havent had linux running in about 6 months and I jsut wasnt sure what had changed since last I used it | 05:05 |
| dsnyders | densone, hulu doesn't work for me. I keep getting a "Hulu doesn't work in your country" error. | 05:05 |
| densone | dsnyders: are you in the USA? | 05:06 |
| bluedalek | paulhomebus: oh.. wait.. it may have let me.. many thanks! | 05:06 |
| dsnyders | densone, No. That's why I get the error. | 05:06 |
| DebiansArmy | dsnyders: use Tvshack.net not hulu waste of time.. | 05:06 |
| donavan01 | dsnyders ... have you tried cheating and using a proxy ... might work | 05:06 |
| paulhomebus | @bluedalek - be careful in there... that's why its protected | 05:06 |
| HPtwhite | dsynders just use a proxy | 05:06 |
| HPtwhite | ooops...too slow | 05:07 |
| dsnyders | DebiansArmy, tvshack.net??? I'll give it a look-see. | 05:07 |
| bluedalek | @paulhomebus - yea.. the only thing I wanted to add was the 'pci=nomsi' as it seems to me that the ubuntu people still have not figured out sata properly. It's the only way my system will boot. | 05:07 |
| paulhomebus | read all through the stack overflow link... the one on adding changes to grub.cfg -- if you're running update-grub to auto-generate it you probably want to edit the scripts under */etc/grub.d* http://superuser.com/questions/102692/make-grub-keep-its-default-boot-under-kernel-updates/102696#102696 | 05:07 |
| Souljah_ | never heared bout hulu, its possible watch US tv, so? | 05:07 |
| DebiansArmy | dsnyders: dont use windows there are thousands of popups and windows crap in there and never answer an add.. | 05:08 |
| paulhomebus | @bluedalek -- Grub2 is very different from old grub! | 05:08 |
| te_ | Souljah_: Yes, install huludesktop | 05:08 |
| densone | I love hulu | 05:08 |
| Souljah_ | te_: maybe i not heared from it,because im not out of america :D | 05:08 |
| dsnyders | DebiansArmy, I don't pop in here because I use windows. | 05:08 |
| bluedalek | @paulhomebus - I've been learning that the hard way! Thanks again!@ | 05:08 |
| paulhomebus | @bluedalek - np ;-) | 05:09 |
| DebiansArmy | dsnyders: this is a linux chat room... don't go to tvshack.net unless using linux.. | 05:09 |
| aliciapg | i need some suggestions for video editors, anybody tried any? | 05:10 |
| FirstSgt2 | Does Linux Mint fall under ubuntu? | 05:10 |
| te_ | FirstSgt2: No | 05:10 |
| FirstSgt2 | te_: do they have a channel...? I figured it was built on ubuntu so I could ask q's here | 05:11 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: no and yes same system different GUI.. | 05:11 |
| Flannel | !mintsupport | FirstSgt2 | 05:11 |
| ubottu | FirstSgt2: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 05:11 |
| FirstSgt2 | DebiansArmy: okay, good cause gui doesn't matter in this case | 05:11 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: this is a Mint box im runing | 05:11 |
| FirstSgt2 | Cool... I mean basically they are dirivitives of debian anyhow, right? | 05:12 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: depends upon the question?? | 05:12 |
| Samual | Hey, this nullmailer thing is spamming my dmesg log (Well, not quickly, but I don't like it.. It pushes useful messages out of the way) with blocks of useless nonsense... What uses nullmailer, and how can I stop it from sending stuff into the dmesg? | 05:12 |
| FirstSgt2 | I'm installing VMware server 2.0 | 05:12 |
| Samual | Note, it's displayed with Conky on my desktop, that's why I care. | 05:12 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: ok, what trying to do.. | 05:12 |
| Samual | No ideas? | 05:13 |
| FirstSgt2 | DebiansArmy: I am attemtping to install the vmware via its perl module | 05:14 |
| FirstSgt2 | errr... perl install script rather | 05:14 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: they may be able to help you if you know the difference bewteen menus... how to get to folders and files ... other wise your going to get lost.. | 05:14 |
| knoppies | Im installing java6_18 on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop. Ive installed it in my home directory, but Im wondering if it would be a better idea to install it in /usr/local/bin, can I just do that? | 05:14 |
| progesterone | Question: How can I test if ipV6 is enable or not? | 05:15 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: whats the error... | 05:15 |
| densone | progesterone: ifconfig | 05:16 |
| donavan01 | ok whats the deal I was trying to get adobe from the adobe.com ... used to be able to get .deb but the deb is for 8.04 but 9.04 has an APT file but when I try downloading it says its going to add it to my repository but then I get an error what tried to do a apt-get install adobe-flashplugin and get cant find package ... ideas ? | 05:16 |
| aliciapg | does anyone have some suggestions for video editors? | 05:17 |
| Peddy | I just converted a video to AVI, and the video is slowed down 2x, but audio plays at the normal speed. What could be causing this? | 05:17 |
| densone | progesterone: ifconfig | grep inet6 | 05:17 |
| nemmons | hey guys, i'm trying to emulate a game through Wine and having serious issues. the game doesn't work and just ends up freezing. The terminal output starts out with a few errors like "fixme:d3d_caps:wined3d_guess_card No card selector available for GL vendor 3 and card vendor 8086." then runs away with thousands of other errors. can anyone point me in the right direction for how i might troubleshoot this? | 05:17 |
| movicont | which game is this? | 05:18 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: use apt-cache search adobe and finding the spelling of file and run apt-get install "name of file" | 05:18 |
| Topy44 | has anyone built notification-daemon with the styling support patch found here? http://reviews.rbcommons.com/r/56/diff/ | 05:18 |
| knoppies | nemmons, games arnt so easy to emulate in wine if they are DX dependent. | 05:18 |
| Topy44 | the patch applies without errors, but i get errors when trying to make | 05:18 |
| nemmons | knoppies: yeah, but the thing is according to the winehq page tons of people are emulating it fine with no serious problems | 05:19 |
| knoppies | nemmons, Im no good with wine, but I would have a look at the settings, and see if you can set up your vid card. | 05:19 |
| mihir | is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager | 05:19 |
| nemmons | knoppies: the winecfg settings you mean? | 05:19 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: you need to be admin when installing sudo apt-get install "name of file" | 05:19 |
| donavan01 | debiansarmy ... thanks I will try that | 05:19 |
| mihir | please anyone help me | 05:19 |
| Capt_Blackwood | what's the problem mihir? | 05:19 |
| knoppies | nemmons, you might need to specify windows .dll files, I tried that once but failed. Yes I mean the wine configure | 05:20 |
| mihir | is it necessary to install all updates listed in update manager | 05:20 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: apt-cache search will give you a small description of the file ... | 05:20 |
| Capt_Blackwood | mihir, not exactly... | 05:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | nemmons, what game? | 05:20 |
| te_ | mihir: It is advisable to do all updates. | 05:20 |
| knoppies | mihir, no. But its debatable. | 05:20 |
| nemmons | knoppies: alright, thanks for the help. | 05:20 |
| nemmons | ZykoticK9: The starcraft 2 beta | 05:20 |
| knoppies | nemmons, I hope you get it working. | 05:20 |
| donavan01 | debiansarmy ... thanks ... Im not great at the command line yet but getting better... should I go for the nofree version or not | 05:20 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: you may also have to use apt-cache search adobe | more to break up the search into smaller parts... | 05:20 |
| Capt_Blackwood | nemmons, wow dude | 05:21 |
| mihir | it is listed under head important security update which are of 290 MB | 05:21 |
| nemmons | Capt_Blackwood haha yeah. i knew i should have left a small windows partition on this thing | 05:21 |
| Topy44 | i am getting an "no rule to make target 'notification-theme-standard.schemas', needed by 'all-am'" error, not totally sure why, the patch seems to have been made for the current version | 05:21 |
| Capt_Blackwood | mihir, if it's an important security, yes | 05:21 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: hold on let me get you a chart apt-get has the best way to look up current programs... | 05:21 |
| donavan01 | debiansarmy ... sweet thanks | 05:21 |
| nemmons | it blows, just got home from college on spring break, left my PC at school, trying to run SC2 on my netbook for the next week until i get back... | 05:22 |
| wineman | has anyone had a problem of when you turn on your computer you have to log on to tty1 before it will continue to boot? | 05:22 |
| knoppies | mihir, sounds like its been a while since you last updated. It might be worth it to not update those updates, but instead do a clean install of the new 9.10. but its up to you. | 05:22 |
| themarmot | screw doing a fresh install of 9.10 | 05:22 |
| themarmot | better wait | 05:22 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: donavan01 here you go only use the debian/ubuntu part of the chart http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta | 05:22 |
| knoppies | wineman, no. But if you can teach me how to get ubuntu server to only load the desktop if I ask it to, I will be greatful. | 05:22 |
| te_ | wineman: login before boot? | 05:23 |
| FirstSgt2 | anyone know any tutorials on installing vmware server on linux | 05:23 |
| wineman | yes | 05:23 |
| mihir | no i am using karmic 9.10 itself and installed only 20 days before | 05:23 |
| knoppies | Im installing java6_18 on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop. Ive installed it in my home directory, but Im wondering if it would be a better idea to install it in /usr/local/bin, can I just do that? | 05:23 |
| wineman | same here but 9.04 was working fine before | 05:24 |
| DebiansArmy | donavan01: need to learn how to use apt-get versus synaptic is a front end user and really kinda annoying... | 05:24 |
| wineman | upgraded | 05:24 |
| HPtwhite | ok this is prolly gonna sound like a dumb question, but im a n00b so please bare with me; im running dual displays on ubuntu 9.10, how do i get the main screen to be on the left monitor? i found out how to turn off the mirroring to make it span, and to have it show the correct position on my desk so my cursor will span from monitor to monitor left to right properly, but the menus and stuff... | 05:24 |
| HPtwhite | ...are on the right monitor and i want them to be on the left monitor | 05:24 |
| scribawf | Need to change my uuid for windows in grub.cfg but what syntax do I use to over ride the ro permission? | 05:25 |
| lapra | test connection | 05:25 |
| abransco | HPtwhite: can you just switch the cables? | 05:25 |
| DebiansArmy | FirstSgt2: there is a mint irc server if that help... next time you enter this room looking for help don't tell anyone ur using mint they wont help you that way... | 05:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | HPtwhite, are you using Nvidia? | 05:26 |
| knoppies | HPtwhite, Im not sure how to do that with the software, but if you swap your plugs for your monitors around (on the rear of your PC)? | 05:26 |
| te_ | knoppies: Usually it is placed in /usr/lib/java/ | 05:26 |
| wineman | yes | 05:26 |
| HPtwhite | no im using ati | 05:26 |
| lapra | hello.. | 05:26 |
| knoppies | te_, thanks. | 05:26 |
| donavan01 | debiansarmy ... I agree I prefer apt-get and used it years ago but honestly I have been trying to relearn what I have forgotten about linux from back when I was in highschool (were talking the days when linux ran on a couple of floppies) | 05:26 |
| mneptok | DebiansArmy: advising people not to be truthful is not helpful | 05:26 |
| knoppies | te_, just so we clear, its the JDK im talking about. NOT the RE. | 05:26 |
| HPtwhite | and i dont wanna switch the cables :P | 05:26 |
| knoppies | HPtwhite, not sure, are you using xorg.conf or a settings manager of some sorts? | 05:27 |
| DebiansArmy | mneptok: yeah it is because you wont help them unless using ubuntu ... you know how many times I have lied and got the help I needed... I just take what you gave me and apply it to Liux Mint... | 05:27 |
| knoppies | te_, do I still put it in /usr/lib/java? | 05:27 |
| wineman | HPtwhite: sudo gedit /grub/boot/menu.lst | 05:28 |
| HPtwhite | just using system>preferences>display | 05:28 |
| donavan01 | so should I go with the adobe flash nonfree or the normal plugin ? | 05:28 |
| claws_ | Guys.. why is my download speed limited to just 100kb while upload goes as normal ? | 05:28 |
| HPtwhite | wineman thx ill try that real quick | 05:28 |
| mneptok | DebiansArmy: this is #ubuntu. you find it odd we only support Ubuntu? if you're using Mint, use their support resources. | 05:29 |
| DebiansArmy | mneptok: if you don't understand linux structure... it can be a pain... I have used 15+ distros and seek adive both here and on Arch Linux... | 05:29 |
| DebiansArmy | adive=advice | 05:29 |
| knoppies | mneptok, you could be more supportive and open minded, why do you have to waste energy on hating other distros? | 05:30 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, why use so many distros? what exactly are you looking for in a distro? | 05:30 |
| DebiansArmy | mneptok: there behind the curve in Linux Mint when it comes to the latest and greatest... | 05:30 |
| tucemiux | knoppies, that is clearly off topic | 05:30 |
| HPtwhite | wineman all it did was open a blank gedit tab that says menu.1st | 05:30 |
| knoppies | tucemiux, sorry, didnt mean to offend you. | 05:30 |
| mneptok | knoppies: it has nothing to do with "hating" others. it has to do with asking questions in the appropriate place. this is #ubuntu. not #linux or #mintsupport. | 05:31 |
| knoppies | claws_, you sure that its not your ISP? | 05:31 |
| mihir | i have installed ubuntu 9.10 before 20 days still i have 290 MB of updates are in Update Manager so does it adviceable to install | 05:31 |
| tucemiux | knoppies, im not offended, just look at the channel's topic, if you want to discuss anything else there's #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:31 |
| knoppies | tucemiux, thanks. | 05:31 |
| wineman | your os listings should be in there | 05:31 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: I play with all of them ... made a stop in on Debian last month runs good not into its lack of support for copyright material or close sourced drivers... | 05:31 |
| nemmons | so if i run glewinfo and over half of the stuff if missing does that mean my graphics card just sucks? | 05:31 |
| linuxlurker | mihir I would say its a good idea | 05:32 |
| donavan01 | mihir ... I would just installed mine about 2 days ago and had about the same for updates installed all of them jsut fine | 05:32 |
| wineman | or maybe I am typing to the wrong person that i thought wanted in there | 05:32 |
| mihir | ok thanks | 05:32 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, you can still be able to use copyrighted material in ubuntu, ubuntu just doesnt include by default appz that might have legal copyright issues | 05:33 |
| wineman | has anybody had the problem of having to log in before your ubuntu will continue loading, and has a long pause after you type in user name and password | 05:33 |
| donavan01 | does dual monitors with different resolution work with ATI ? | 05:33 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: But debian is a stable platform just not into all those backports to get items to run like in ubuntu or more cutting edge distros | 05:33 |
| abransco | donavan01, works for me | 05:33 |
| donavan01 | adransco ... anything special or jsut plug it in ? | 05:34 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, ive never tried debian but if you have any problems with ubuntu you can feel free to ask here | 05:34 |
| abransco | donavan01, I think it might have taken a bit of configuring in system -> preferences -> display, but nothing too complicated | 05:34 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: that is why I keep returning to Arch Linux and stay abreast on new ideas here in Ubuntu... Ubuntu and Fedora are leading the way on udev, upstart and grub2.... even though its had problems... | 05:35 |
| claws_ | knoppies : yes.. cuz i have 3 other running boxes.. and 3 OS on this laptop | 05:35 |
| donavan01 | adransco ... thanks I remember a version or two back it was a huge hassle getting it to work | 05:35 |
| HPtwhite | donavan01 it works for me | 05:35 |
| DebiansArmy | hello | 05:36 |
| HPtwhite | i just cant figure out how to get my main screen with my menus n stuff to the left side rather than the right | 05:36 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, ok well if you have any problem with ubuntu you can feel free to discuss it in this channel | 05:36 |
| DebiansArmy | sorry my wifi acts up at night and morning.. | 05:36 |
| donavan01 | well just plugged it in here goes nothing | 05:36 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, i had the same problem until I bought a new router | 05:37 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: I'm headed that way also setting up my rig to play games so I think the router will be a bottle neck... | 05:38 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, i suggest you buy the linksys router you can install open software on it, I bought mines on newegg and got a great deal | 05:39 |
| DebiansArmy | why some people get a 120 flops vs 30 flops per second is it the internet speed or the router they own???? so I'm going to play with this idea... | 05:39 |
| tucemiux | DebiansArmy, it has to do with the service in your area | 05:40 |
| claws_ | knoppies : yes.. cuz i have 3 other running boxes.. and 3 OS on this laptop. its same with all OS's on this laptop.. which i use wireless. i get only 100KB dl speed. im using a intel pro 2200BG and this Router " http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Communication/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2974&ProductName=GN-BR32L-RH " ... and my drivers are up to date. | 05:40 |
| donavan01 | plugged it in changed the settings and the dual monitor work after logging out and back in but my panels are all on the wrong screen how do I fix that ? | 05:41 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: I would guess on that ,but my linksys router is only set for basic g not N type server so I will play with both boxes and see if the router presents bottlenecks as I suspect.. | 05:41 |
| HPtwhite | donavan01 im having the same issue | 05:41 |
| HPtwhite | you can drag the monitors in the display setting to look like they do on your desk to get the mouse to move left to right between monitors but the panels are on the right monitor rather than the left...thats why im in here and nobody seems to know how to fix it yet | 05:42 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: if this is the case I can help people to speed up there gaming at half the price of paying for faster service... | 05:43 |
| knoppies | HPtwhite, cant you just delete the panels on the one monitor and create new panels on the other? | 05:43 |
| donavan01 | HPtwhite mine is just the opposite ... hang on im going to try something but Im going to have to probably re boot | 05:43 |
| knoppies | claws_, is it not your wireless then? I thought wireless had speed restrictions of 54kB/s or something. (unless your using N) | 05:44 |
| HPtwhite | knoppies what i mean by panels is the clock, the menus, etc | 05:44 |
| knoppies | HPtwhite, I know. You can create/delete those things. And then add 'applets' (the clock, menus themselves) to the panels. | 05:44 |
| HPtwhite | hrmmm...im totally noob with linux/ubuntu so i dont even know how to do that | 05:45 |
| knoppies | HPtwhite, right click on a penal and Pick New Panel. | 05:45 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite... got it | 05:45 |
| motohiro | hello I have a trouble in programing c | 05:45 |
| HPtwhite | ok i deleted the top panel but it wont let me delete the bottom one | 05:45 |
| HPtwhite | donavan01 right on | 05:45 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite.. there are two ways you can do this I think | 05:46 |
| abransco | HPtwhite, maybe it won't let you delete all of the panels? try recreating one first | 05:46 |
| motohiro | i want help in programing in c what should i do | 05:47 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite.. first do what I did and swap the video cables around or just check the box on the display preference screen that says something about panels on this screen (which I found only after I swapped the cables) | 05:47 |
| DebiansArmy | tucemiux: never seen a gamer break down level by level the bottlenecks on there system and what must go to futher help gamers... 1) what services run behind windows that cause a conflict... 2) What does the router / ISP provide conflicts... 3) What programs are bottlenecks for gaming.... SO I plan to break do all problems from hardware to software setups... Most the advice is all over the internet and not well defined... | 05:47 |
| HPtwhite | idk how to recreate......i tried left clicking on my other screen and it give me create folder, create launcher, create document, clean up by name, keep aligned, and change desktop background | 05:47 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite are you without panels at all | 05:48 |
| Andorin | So it appears that when I view an image with the Image Viewer app, a small thumbnail of the image is generated in ~/.thumbnails/normal. In Nautilus I have it set to never generate thumbnails, and list view by default. How do I turn off whatever it is that's generating and saving these thumbs? | 05:48 |
| HPtwhite | donvan the panel just puts a display icon on the top panel, and i dont wanna swap my cables :P | 05:48 |
| HPtwhite | lol | 05:48 |
| HPtwhite | thanks tho | 05:48 |
| HPtwhite | no i have the bottom panel | 05:48 |
| HPtwhite | i dont have the one up top with the clock and system, etc tho | 05:49 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite your right my dislexia kicked in there when I read it | 05:49 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: that is a gconf-editor app... can also be done in the graphical interface... | 05:49 |
| cretsiah | is it worth using ubuntu desktop as a headless server? for a noobie? | 05:49 |
| donavan01 | hptwhite can you right click on the bottom one? | 05:49 |
| te_ | cretsiah: Well sure it is. | 05:50 |
| HPtwhite | donavan01 yea i have to remake it from scratch :/ thanx tho | 05:50 |
| cretsiah | only reason i ask is i have major trouble with the print server function .... i have windows boxes that must be able to control the printing layouts | 05:51 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: in the folder view open up home folder and change preferences... | 05:51 |
| donavan01 | ok I get the feeling I shouldnt have created a virtual whatever for my dual screen cause now my secondary monitor is getting weird artifacts on it and doesnt line up right with the other screen | 05:51 |
| donavan01 | any ideas | 05:51 |

| Monona | How do I set my soundcard to it's own IRQ? There's no clear way to do it in BIOS. | 05:51 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: I did. I'm looking right now at apps --> eog in gconf-editor and looking for an option that has to do with ~/.thumbnails/normal. | 05:51 |
| Roasted_ | how do I add GDM themes found on gnome-look.org? | 05:51 |
| donavan01 | ok that was weird I just disabled my primary screen and re-enabled it and blamo the problem went away | 05:52 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: no no it hold on.... that was just away to point you in direction that has to do with nautlics... not the apps.. | 05:52 |
| HPtwhite | lol | 05:52 |
| Roasted | how do I apply GDM themes that I find on gnome-look.org? | 05:52 |
| abransco | Monona, IRQs? I don't think I've dealt with those since windows 3.1 | 05:53 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: I did say that I'd already gone through Nautilus's preferences... I think it's only doing this when I open an image with eog, whereas it used to cache a thumbnail for every image that Nautilus previewed while in icon mode. | 05:53 |
| Andorin | Roasted: Actually, I think that support for custom GDM themes was dropped with the newest login manager software... there's a way to do it but it's kind of a pain. | 05:54 |
| Roasted | Andorin, oh, really? Well dang... Gnome-look is littered with a ton of nice ones. I'd like to get one running. :( | 05:54 |
| Andorin | Roasted: I know how you feel. =x | 05:54 |
| Topy44 | hm, for some odd reason numlock is now turned on by default after booting my netbook, but i dont want it to... | 05:54 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: in the folder view or image view area... not sure which one your getting at??? | 05:55 |
| Monona | abransco: I'm trying to reduce xruns on jack, and I've spent days playing around with jack settings. I want to set the soundcard to it's own IRQ, and see if that helps. I've been on the forums and IRC a bunch, and no dice. Here's the output if cat /proc/interrupts: http://pastebin.com/bRerD6BN | 05:56 |
| Powerturk | hello | 05:57 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: I'm not sure what you mean, so I'll kind of start over... when I open an image with Eye of Gnome, it saves a thumbnail of that image in ~/.thumbnails/normal. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with Nautilus, because I have thumbnail caching disabled in Nautilus. | 05:57 |
| anotherjesse | what is the google term to learn how to disable apt-get install postfix from doing the curses based configuration -- I'm trying to automate install and am ok with no configuration by default | 05:57 |
| abransco | Monona, I don't really know anything about them; I thought they handled themselves these days though....I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I have no idea where to point you, sorry | 05:58 |
| WOC | I need some help connecting my laptop to my LCD tv using s-video. I'm working with an ATI Radeon x1200 graphics card. Can anyone help? | 05:59 |
| Monona | abransco: Ah, no worries. I'll get it figured some kind of way. | 05:59 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: nothing in eog stating saving thumbnails using gconf editor..??? hold on I will look around... at file set up... | 05:59 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: Nope, I don't see any options. | 05:59 |
| h00k | Monona: IRQ's are done in the BIOS, but I'm not sure why you'd want to mess with that | 05:59 |
| Topy44 | wow, finally, notifications that look the way i want! | 06:00 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: I agree, what is the big deal with this option I have the same thumbnails folder as well?? | 06:00 |
| wx9j | how do I change the program that starts when I insert an audio CD | 06:00 |
| Monona | h00k: My soundcard shares an IRQ with other processes, and I'm getting crazy xruns in jack for audio processing. I'm just trying to figure out what will make them go away. | 06:01 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: the size is only 8.3 kbs... not much drive space being eaten... | 06:01 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: It's just something I want to maintain control over. | 06:01 |
| === zer0 is now known as Guest13547 | ||
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: appears most of these thumbnails are used for my desktop settings... | 06:02 |
| claws_ | knoppies : is there a way to bypass that limit ? | 06:03 |
| psilo2 | Monona: haven't been watching the conversation, but I get tons of xruns in jackd as well (or used to when I played guitar more often..) without any noticeable effect | 06:03 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: It also generates a thumb if you open an image from, say, ~/Pictures/ | 06:03 |
| Guest13547 | hey guys, I just got done installing 10.04 live cd latest from yesterday. Eveything is working great but I had the battery and sound icons up by the clock disappear and cant get it back | 06:04 |
| Guest13547 | anyone know how? | 06:04 |
| Monona | psilo2: It's definitely got an audible effect. We're talking sometimes xruns around 1/sec. | 06:04 |
| psilo2 | bummer | 06:04 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: understand... just not sure your going to be able to stop this idea... most of the pictures you use for backgroud that is the thumbnail it is producing... | 06:04 |

| themarmot | shits been toughj today | 06:06 |
| HPtwhite | WOC as far as I know you can use svideo as long as you are only using 1 of the other available ouputs, thats just my experience anyways | 06:06 |
| elky | themarmot, stop that. | 06:06 |
| h00k | themarmot: that is no excuse, the rules in this channel always stand. | 06:06 |
| nant | hello | 06:06 |
| psilo2 | elky: lol. | 06:06 |
| h00k | Monona: I suppose if you want to mess around with your IRQ settings, that will be done in the BIOS | 06:06 |
| WOC | thank you. At the moment, I'm only working with the one. Its a laptop and has VGA and s-video. The VGA is empty at present | 06:07 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: the size is not greater then 20 kbs not sure it is even worth messing with... | 06:07 |
| HPtwhite | WOC np | 06:07 |
| rastasean | i'm looking for a good media player | 06:07 |
| Monona | h00k: Yeah, just no apparent way to do that. I guess I'll have to research my BIOS a bit more. *sigh* | 06:07 |
| rastasean | something like winamp or itunes for ubuntu 9.1 | 06:08 |
| WOC | while playing around in the Terminal, I've found that it doesn't recognize my port or my ATI card it seems. | 06:08 |
| rastasean | any recommendations? | 06:08 |
| themarmot | rascal999, rythmbox | 06:08 |
| Samual | Hey how do you launch a terminal window, have it execute a command, and then stay open? gnome-terminal -e <command> closes the terminal right after the command is complete. | 06:08 |

| Andorin | Samual: Hang on a second, I read about a way to do this once | 06:09 |
| cretsiah | whats the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu other than xfce being a lighter window manager, cos i noticed on the min specs there is a 2gig HD difference? | 06:09 |

| WOC | I am still unable to output video through my s-video port. The "Display" option under preferences does not recognize the television as a display. Any suggestions? | 06:12 |

| freeaks_ | which ones should start automaticaly, which ones shouldn't and such | 06:12 |
| Flannel | !bum | freeaks_ | 06:12 |
| ubottu | freeaks_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 06:12 |
| freeaks_ | h00k, i was after something graphical | 06:12 |
| Andorin | DebiansArmy: Good find, but it's still generating thumbs for me when I open an image. | 06:13 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: under Desktop> Gnome> there is thumbnailer > it allows you to disable all not sure what this does though??? | 06:13 |
| freeaks_ | i was under the impression that this "bum" was more like a workaround | 06:13 |
| Samual | Andorin, I know you can do it with xterm by doing: xterm -hold -e "command", but well | 06:13 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| Samual | -hold doesn't do anything with gnome-terminal. | 06:13 |
| nomad77 | Samual: varies bty the term you use xterm -hold -e <command> or urxvt --hold -e <command> gnome-term,probly menu. | 06:13 |
| claws_ | where do i manage my application folders ? | 06:14 |
| freeaks_ | isn't ubuntu providing something by default beside having ppl to do all the work manualy from terminal ? | 06:14 |

| Samual | nomad77, yeah I know, but do you know how to do it with gnome-terminal? | 06:14 |
| psilo2 | Samual: uh, what about running just "sleep 5" | 06:14 |
| freeaks_ | h00k, i think it doesn't work anymore with ubuntu new system for starting/stopping daemon | 06:14 |

| h00k | freeaks_: I'm not sure, but someone should probably know if you keep asking | 06:15 |
| psilo2 | Samual: so the term doesn't close until the command finishes. I can't imagine why the 'read -p' didn't work. | 06:15 |
| DebiansArmy | Andorin: well played with the idea enough have to wash dishes and vaccum later good luck... :) | 06:16 |
| freeaks_ | h00k, i see thanks for the help, i'll try asking again in a little while | 06:16 |

| freeaks_ | DebiansArmy, i thought this wouldn't work anymore with ubuntu new system for starting/stopping daemons .. basicaly i was after a graphical tool (either X or term based) to administer my daemons | 06:19 |
| claws_ | how do i customize my "start" menu ? | 06:19 |
| metalstround | Why does my screen go blank with only a blinking cursor if i try to install Xubuntu? | 06:19 |
| profoak | claws_: Right click your menu, and press edit menu. | 06:19 |
| freeaks_ | DebiansArmy, like apache, vsftp, ssh etc ... which one should start which one shouldn't and so on | 06:19 |
| Samual | nomad77, ah I see, but I don't precisely need that to happen all the time. | 06:19 |
| Samual | nomad77, well... Maybe it will be fine. | 06:19 |
| claws_ | profoak , thank you :) | 06:20 |
| Samual | nomad77, Yeah, that'll work, thanks mate. psilo2 thanks to you too anyway. | 06:20 |
| psilo2 | Samual: try my bash -c yet? | 06:20 |
| DebiansArmy | freeaks_: when you take daemons they don't run in the same way as bsd ... these are done by run levels in ubuntu/debian systems that is why it has trouble producing a 15 second boot time... | 06:20 |
| profoak | claws_ np | 06:20 |
| psilo2 | I am curious. | 06:20 |
| profoak | What do I need to do in order to use Empathy's desktop sharing feature? | 06:21 |

| h00k | profoak: Contact -> Share My Desktop | 06:22 |
| freeaks_ | DebiansArmy, ok. but would you know of any tool i could use to administer my daemons ? (start / stop) | 06:22 |
| profoak | h00k: It won't let me select. Do I need to use a special protocol or something? | 06:22 |
| psilo2 | are we not using invoke-rc.d anymore? *kicks ubuntu HARD* | 06:22 |
| manish | how can install bin file? | 06:22 |
| h00k | manish: you don't install a .bin file, that is a binary file. | 06:22 |
| psilo2 | manish: just run it: ./file.bin | 06:23 |
| metalstround | Why does my screen go blank with a blinking cursor if I try to install Xubuntu? | 06:23 |
| psilo2 | because xfce4 is the worst. nah I don't know | 06:24 |
| metalstround | oh.. | 06:24 |
| HPtwhite | so...i have a wifi printer on my network...my desktop is wired to the router. how do i find it with ubuntu 9.10? | 06:24 |
| DebiansArmy | freeaks_: no it is not currently out that is why so many users of Ubuntu/debian are waiting on the new tool or how to make ubuntu boot faster... start / stop times are a mystery when it comes to debian/ubuntu do to the fancy splash screen you can monitor them with bootstrap what good is that if you can't disable or start services as a background service... | 06:24 |

| sink | need some help installing a .sh script | 06:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, do the file names in question start with a "." which would make them hidden files? | 06:53 |
| DaZ_ | sink: sh script.sh ? >: | 06:53 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest64067 | ||
| sink | facebook addon for firefox is giving me a .sh | 06:54 |
| sink | so just type that into the term? | 06:54 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 no, they're just normal files. | 06:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, i don't have an explanation then, i'm able to see deb and gz on my desktop? sorry man, best of luck. | 06:55 |
| waveclaw | Tried sorting the icons on your desktop? Which window manager is this? (KDE, Gnome, something like flux or xfce?) | 06:55 |
| waveclaw | What happens if you open your default file manager and browse the location of your Desktop (e.g. ~/Desktop for Gnome) | 06:56 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 Thanks anyway | 06:57 |
| ruien | has anyone heard of a router interfering with ssh? I don't mean port forwarding; i mean something like a buffering issue where the router might be waiting for incoming connections to close before sending the data over to the ubuntu server. (That's what i noticed when connecting with telnet.) | 06:58 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 Actually I can't see any files and folder on Desktop. | 06:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, that changes things! you are using Gnome right? | 06:59 |
| progesterone | Question: Gnone? I'm using default Ubuntu installation. | 07:00 |
| claws_ | what is different by running cairo dock in openGL mode or non opengl ? | 07:00 |
| waveclaw | Then Gnome is your desktop and your file manager is nautilus. Sounds like nautilus is either set to not draw icons on the desktop or another problem. | 07:00 |
| airtonix | progesterone, check that right clicking the desktop brings up a context menu | 07:01 |
| airtonix | waveclaw, actually nautilus is the desktop provider. | 07:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | alt+f2 -- gconf-editor -- apps / nautilus / preferences, is show_desktop set to true? | 07:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, ^ | 07:01 |
| progesterone | airtonix It shows 'Create Folder', 'Create Launcher' and so on. | 07:01 |
| airtonix | progesterone, so now you need to follow that last step by ZykoticK9 , confirm that show_desktop is ticked | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | airtonix, I think if progesterone can right click on the desktop and get the menu then it is | 07:02 |
| === soUPERMan is now known as kanine5 | ||
| airtonix | progesterone, minus the "--", so its 1) press alt+f2 2) type : gconf-editor 3) navigate to : apps > nautilus > preferences | 07:03 |
| airtonix | ZykoticK9, test it out yourself... no icons on desktop doesn't mean no context menu | 07:03 |
| progesterone | airtonix Let me try | 07:03 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 I'll try | 07:03 |
| airtonix | progesterone, if it is ticked, then the next thing you check in gconf-editor is the desktop tree in that section of nautilus. so thats : apps > nautilus > desktop | 07:04 |
| levu|krank | Has anyone an idea how i can reinstall all packages? | 07:04 |
| airtonix | progesterone, what you'll see there is tick boxes for computer, network, home & trash | 07:05 |
| Losha | ruien: no, I've never heard of that failure mode from a router. I would consider it a fairly major bug... | 07:05 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 airtonix 'Show Desktop' is ticked. | 07:05 |
| ruien | Losha: yeah, but i can telnet to a netcat -l -p 444, for example, but i can't ssh in! | 07:05 |
| airtonix | progesterone, ok check the apps > nautilus > desktop : anything in there ticked ? | 07:05 |
| ruien | so it seems pretty major | 07:06 |
| aztek[tum] | so if i have a raid setup with mdadm in ubuntu but reinstall the OS drive (seperate from the raid drives) w/ Debian, Debian will see my mdadm, right? | 07:06 |
| Losha | ruien: what client/server ? | 07:06 |
| progesterone | airtonix nothing is ticked except 'volumes_visible'. | 07:06 |
| airtonix | progesterone, ok might pay to have them ticked for debugging purposes | 07:06 |
| baglug | tesssss | 07:07 |
| airtonix | progesterone, because if you still don't get anything showing up on the desktop, you'll need to kill and restart nautilus | 07:07 |
| ruien | Losha: ssh client on CentOS, sshd on ubuntu server. I *can* ssh into the ubuntu server if i connect through a reverse tunnel on another server elsewhere (which bypasses the router more-or-less) | 07:07 |
| baglug | tess | 07:08 |
| Losha | ruien: are you sure the router is even forwarding ssh traffic. Try ssh -v on the client to get some debug info... | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | airtonix, just an FYI - unchecking "Show Desktop" does infact disable the context menu as well | 07:08 |
| airtonix | ZykoticK9, apologies | 07:09 |
| progesterone | airtonix 'Computer', 'Network Servers', 'Garbage Bin' appears on Desktop. But my files and folders on Desktop don't show up yet. | 07:09 |
| ruien | Losha: yeah, pretty sure, because the ssh -vv output is different based on which port i choose to connect to. For example, 23 isn't connected to anything so i get an error message; 22 is, and so it hangs. The results are different | 07:09 |
| airtonix | progesterone, and when you open nautilus manually from 1) places > home 2) press ctrl + L 3) type ~/Desktop | 07:09 |
| airtonix | progesterone, i assume you're trying to find files you've downloaded ? | 07:10 |
| Losha | ruien: wanna pastebin the output from ssh -vv connecting to port 22 ? | 07:10 |
| adante | hi guys, is it ok for me to submit a 300 meg bug report? | 07:10 |
| ruien | gladly | 07:10 |
| progesterone | airtonix Exactly! | 07:11 |
| progesterone | airtonix Can you really read my mind? :P | 07:11 |
| airtonix | progesterone, you should check if there is a folder called "Downloads" in your home folder | 07:11 |
| aztek[tum] | adante: why is it 300MB? | 07:11 |
| adante | aztek[tum]: beats me | 07:11 |
| progesterone | airtonix No. I downloaded to 'Desktop' explicitly and set my download folder to 'Desktop'. | 07:12 |
| aztek[tum] | adante: is it just log files? | 07:12 |
| airtonix | progesterone, ok so if you look at the ~/Desktop folder manually in terminal or nautilus the files you expect to be there are visible ? | 07:12 |
| progesterone | airtonix I can see the files and folders in Terminal. But I can't see them on Desktop and Nautilus. | 07:13 |
| adante | aztek[tum]: i have no idea, i'm not familiar with what ubuntu-bug does | 07:13 |
| aztek[tum] | adante: ah | 07:13 |
| progesterone | airtonix no | 07:13 |
| airtonix | progesterone, try killing nautilus from terminal : sudo killall nautilus -9 | 07:13 |

| brjann | bcgrown: at least, i think that's one of the simple ones that provides the mail command | 07:19 |
| airtonix | web5|org|ua, this is the system monitor applet on the gnome panel (network is the yellow one ) >> http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/45758/screenshot_001_XVXwI8.png | 07:19 |
| bcgrown | brjann: requires postfix? | 07:19 |
| brjann | bcgrown: no, it's standalone | 07:19 |
| brjann | bcgrown: again, i *think* that's the one i'm thinking of. see what it wants to install on your system | 07:20 |
| mr-grey2 | Hey DaZ | 07:20 |
| ruien | Losha: http://pastebin.com/iF5vsbgd (note that *internal* ssh sessions, from behind my router, work flawlessly) | 07:20 |
| bcgrown | brjann: apt-get wants to install postfix when i try to install bsd-mailx | 07:21 |
| Losha | bcgrown: Er, you need both a mail frontend *and* a mail backend to send mail. And what do you mean 'the ability to change the message subject'. All frontends allow you to specify a mail subject when sending email.... | 07:21 |
| brjann | bcgrown: then i guess that's not the one i'm thinking of :) let me look | 07:21 |
| web5|org|ua | airtonix: and how to do this ? | 07:22 |
| bcgrown | Losha: echo "test" | sendmail myemail@address.com is all i did to send a message with esmtp | 07:22 |
| airtonix | web5|org|ua, 1) right click the panel 2) add to panel 3) type "system" (it should filter out the others) select system monitor 4) right click it on the pane and select preferences | 07:22 |
| bcgrown | Losha: That uses esmtp's sendmail emulator which as far as I can tell didn't have a "subject" option | 07:23 |
| Losha | ruien: I see the server never responded to your client. Does it even see the request. Check log files on the server? | 07:23 |
| ruien | nope, log is empty | 07:24 |
| ruien | that's why i think the router is buffering it | 07:24 |
| Losha | bcgrown: install mailx and do something like: mailx -s 'this is test1' -v myemail@address.com, then press enter and enter the msg body, end with ctrl-d | 07:25 |
| web5|org|ua | airtonix: thanks MAN, work. | 07:25 |
| airtonix | web5|org|ua, if you search the repo there are at least two other kinds of bandwidth monitors you can put up there | 07:25 |
| Losha | ruien: the router's doing *something* with it. Are you sure the router's configured to port forward correctly? | 07:25 |
| bcgrown | Losha: where does config for mailx live? i need to enter in my SMTP server info, I'm assuming? | 07:26 |
| ruien | Losha: yes, because telnet to netcat works fine | 07:26 |
| Losha | ruien: unless netcat is listening on port 22, you don't know that... | 07:26 |
| web5|org|ua | airtonix: funny thing that several month ago i find perfect BW meter for me, but can't remember now how is call. | 07:26 |
| vvxzvd | hello? | 07:26 |
| vvxzvd | can i ask a question about ruby on rails? i need some help with remote_form_for | 07:27 |
| brjann | bcgrown: ah, nullmailer was the one i was thinking of. | 07:27 |
| brjann | !info nullmailer | bcgrown | 07:27 |
| ubottu | bcgrown: nullmailer (source: nullmailer): simple relay-only mail transport agent. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:1.04-1.1 (karmic), package size 90 kB, installed size 428 kB | 07:28 |
| airtonix | web5|org|ua, was it on the panel ? | 07:28 |
| ruien | Losha: ok, fair enough, i had netcat up on port 2222. however, i also tried an SSH local tunnel to route traffic from 2222 -> 22, since i knew the router sending to 2222 was working fine, and got the exact same result with ssh -v | 07:28 |
| Losha | bcgrown: You sound confused. mailx doesn't have any config. It's a front end. Only the back end needs a server to be configured. | 07:28 |
| bcgrown | Losha: obviously I am confused. what backend should i be using? | 07:28 |
| bcgrown | brjann: i get "could not open trigger file" when i run nullmailer-send | 07:29 |
| Losha | bcgrown: esmtp is a backend. You don't talk to backends directly, you talk to a frontend which then talks to the backend for you. mailx is a frontend. | 07:30 |
| bcgrown | hmm | 07:30 |
| Losha | bcgrown: so, 'your msg' -> mailx -> esmtp -> recipient mailhost | 07:30 |
| brjann | bcgrown: yes, Losha is right. you shouldn't be trying to run nullmailer binaries directly | 07:31 |
| web5|org|ua | airtonix: yes | 07:31 |
| bcgrown | okay... i think i need more sleep before i can sort this out | 07:31 |
| bcgrown | thanks for your help folks | 07:31 |
| Losha | bcgrown: if esmtp delivered your email correctly without a subject line, then it's working correctly. | 07:31 |
| Losha | bcgrown: ok... | 07:32 |
| Sensiva | Hello , I am trying to do NAT between my host and guest to access ssh of the guest, it worked fine, except it cannot be accessed from other pcs on the network, only localhost of the host machine, any ideas? | 07:32 |
| Losha | ruien: sorry, don't know what else to suggest, except that you review your router config... | 07:33 |
| brjann | Sensiva: are we talking about a virtual machine? | 07:33 |
| Sensiva | brjann yeah vbox | 07:33 |
| ruien | Losha: ok, thanks for your insight. I was thinking the same thing, and you looking at it gives me some more confidence. It's a no-name chinese brand i bought for about $7 USD, so i might go get a real router today then | 07:33 |
| brjann | Sensiva: okay, that's how NAT works. incoming connections don't get forwarded to the guest unless you're forwarding ports. if you want the guest accessible from the LAN the host is on, you want the vbox bridging adapter, not NAT. | 07:34 |
| airtonix | Sensiva, brjann or you can use firestarters port forwarding gui | 07:35 |
| Losha | ruien: I've been very happy with my linksys, after I put 'tomato' firmware on it. Check out http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato for hardware that will run tomato | 07:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sensiva, the easy way would be to change the VBox VM settings from NAT to Bridged | 07:35 |
| brjann | airtonix, Sensiva: or that | 07:36 |
| Sensiva | Ok, What if I don't like using bridged network? | 07:36 |
| ruien | Losha: ok, cool. thanks | 07:36 |
| kla | Suck it up | 07:36 |
| brjann | Sensiva: then ask airtonix about the firestarter gui, because I know nothing about it :) | 07:36 |
| Sensiva | airstrike can firestarter forward incoming connection from eth0 to localhost hence to the guest OS in vbox? | 07:36 |
| Sensiva | brjann ZykoticK9 Thank you :) | 07:37 |

| mr-grey2 | Losha: I have my data backed up on my server so in worse case i'll just have to reload windows again, it's not that big of a deal and with wine i can play majority of the games I have so really no need for it | 07:49 |
| kla | !best | claws_ | 07:49 |
| ubottu | claws_: 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. | 07:49 |
| Losha | mr-grey2: ok, you sound like you are ready. Are you making any progress with the partitioning? | 07:50 |
| claws_ | !lol | kla | 07:50 |
| ubottu | kla: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 07:50 |

| tamran | also, I've got a slower machine (single core) with only 1gb of ram and would like to take the memory footprint down a few notches if possible | 09:36 |
| kla | tamran, ionice won't help you, just use a lighter X desktop like xfce or lxde instead of gnome/kdm and disable the services you don't want at startup | 09:37 |
| tamran | erUSUL: well, sometimes my computer just goes off to lala land when the disk io starts caching. At such times, I can't even move the mouse in a smooth manner. I was considering doing a special kernel with prempting enabled ... | 09:38 |

| brjann | tamran: if your machine starts swapping, there's really not much you can do about it. you can't really preempt that, because the kernel is saying it's out of memory and needs to push something out to disk. | 09:40 |

| progesterone | erUSUL There's web interface for code stored in SVN for some opensource project. Is that available for Ubuntu? | 09:46 |
| erUSUL | progesterone: find out which package the source code belongs and download only that | 09:46 |
| alankila | beniamino: but I had a poweroff option there, I think, so that the machine would shut down when I press the close button in virtualbox without further dialogs within the OS | 09:46 |

| brjann | tamran: imagine you loaded a 100 MB image file in GIMP, and had a few hundred megabytes of free memory. after you closed GIMP, it's likely the kernel would just keep that image file in memory for a little while, in case you wanted to access it again later. if some other process needed that memory, it would be freed. | 09:47 |

| brjann | AdvoWork: either force an fsck at boot, before the filesystem is mounted, or boot from a livecd and test from there. | 10:03 |
| erUSUL | AdvoWork: and run fsck allways from livecd | 10:03 |
| === nand_ is now known as nand | ||
| AdvoWork | erUSUL, ive got that, plus -N Don’t execute, just show what would be done. both then or? | 10:04 |
| AdvoWork | and erUSUL why? | 10:04 |
| erUSUL | AdvoWork: i use only -n | 10:04 |
| erUSUL | AdvoWork: you can not fsck a mounted filesystem. period | 10:05 |
| adac | "which ruby" on my local linux is /usr/local/bin/ruby (which I suppose are the gem binaries) but on remote linux "which ruby" is /usr/bin/ruby (the deb is suppose). Wondering why this is so, as i didn't set any PATH on my local ubuntu installation | 10:05 |
| erUSUL | AdvoWork: if you program a fsck at boot time you do not have control of the options it would be passed and you can not do anything if a problem arises. a livecd/liveusb system is way better | 10:06 |
| erUSUL | adac: usr/local/bin is in path i both systems. the difference is that you compiled and installed a ruby in your local one | 10:07 |

| pixelfairy | its good if you wanna kill time | 10:29 |
| pixelfairy | some people get addicted, dont know how game addiction works though | 10:29 |
| Claws | pixelfairy , cool :D il check them out ! | 10:29 |

| indus | Claws,for nexuiz and open arena you can | 10:31 |
| airtonix | heimdall, ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins | 10:31 |
| * pixelfairy seems if gamer friends are awake | 10:31 | |
| vlt | Hello. From an X session (where xeyes works, for example) I connect to another machine: `ssh -Y remotehost`. When I now run `xeyes` I get "Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0". Any idea what to check first? | 10:32 |
| Claws | indus , i was about to write "daaarn" | 10:32 |
| airtonix | heimdall, which plugin ? | 10:32 |
| ddrj | got a question... i'm new to ubuntu but is there a way where i can setup a folder on my ubuntu pc so that multiple users from different OS's can open and edit the documents in said folder? | 10:32 |
| heimdall | airtonix: tried that, it does not work | 10:32 |
| indus | Claws, so what are you lloking for | 10:32 |
| heimdall | airtonix: this one - http://code.google.com/p/gedit-folding/ | 10:32 |
| vlt | ddrj: via network? | 10:32 |
| josh-N | brjann: it says: unbekannter Dateisystemtyp „afp“ (unknown FS type "afp") | 10:32 |
| airtonix | heimdall, one second. | 10:32 |
| Claws | indus , not sure what you mean by nexuiz | 10:33 |
| heimdall | okay | 10:33 |
| ddrj | vlt: sorry, yes via lan | 10:33 |
| pixelfairy | Claws: are you more into playing or making games? | 10:33 |
| indus | Claws, itsa fps | 10:33 |
| Claws | pixelfairy, playing :) | 10:33 |
| pixelfairy | had to ask, last time i had this conversation ended up with someone wanting to mod games | 10:34 |
| indus | Claws, why do you want a repository? | 10:34 |
| brjann | josh-N: bummer. i guess it's got the appletalk protocol built into the kernel, but not the apple filesharing protocol | 10:34 |
| vlt | ddrj: There are a few different protocols for file access via LAN: NFS for *nix clients, Samba for Windows clients and of course sshfs for quick and dirty solutions ;-) | 10:34 |
| Claws | indus , so i can just search and dl easy ? :) | 10:34 |
| pixelfairy | if your into windows games, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ | 10:34 |
| airtonix | heimdall, this is what my gedit plugin folder looks like, maybe you have the package decompressed in the wrong way : http://pastebin.com/3WSQPUZ9 | 10:34 |
| indus | Claws, ah a combined game repo? not available | 10:34 |
| pixelfairy | otherwise just go to software center or synaptic | 10:35 |
| indus | Claws, but you can try ubuntu gaming edition | 10:35 |
| pixelfairy | or that | 10:35 |
| * pixelfairy looks up gaming edition | 10:35 | |
| Claws | same here | 10:35 |
| airtonix | Claws, playdeb or getdeb have repos | 10:35 |
| brjann | josh-N: oh, this might work for you: http://sites.google.com/site/alexthepuffin/home | 10:35 |
| ddrj | vlt: heh heh yeah i guess i'll just setup shared folder using samba :P i pretty much just want to setup ubuntu on an old server and allow 3 pcs running windows to open and edit .doc files on the ubuntu server >.< :P | 10:35 |
| pixelfairy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games | 10:35 |
| vlt | ddrj: Then go for Samba | 10:36 |
| ddrj | yaw, thanks vlt :) | 10:36 |
| indus | Claws, all games pre installed wowee | 10:36 |
| brjann | josh-N: it's a fuse client for AFP access. there're apparently ubuntu .debs in the download area, and the page i just linked gives a quick overview of using the mount_afp utility | 10:36 |
| heimdall | airtonix: mmm there was nothing to decompress. there were two files folding.gedit-plugin and folding.py. I put them both in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins | 10:36 |
| indus | Claws, OOPS here http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate_edition/ultimate-edition-2-3-gamers/ | 10:36 |

| Guest88941 | diskless client need help installing nvidia driver | 10:37 |
| rautamiekka | One person visiting me IRL wanted me to install Ubuntu on his computer to dualboot with WinXPmce2005. The problem is that for some reason Ub doesn't start fully, instead it either leaves movable cursor running on screen or the screen keeps showing a ton of lines of diff colors and they flash extremely fast. This problems remains regardless of graphics card, screen, and whether we used graphics safe mode. We tested Ubuntus 8.04.1 32bi | 10:38 |
| rautamiekka | Forgot to mention that the problem remains even with alternate installer. | 10:38 |
| airtonix | heimdall, shows up in my plugins list as : simple folding (wih some russian text under that) | 10:38 |
| pixelfairy | rautamiekka: wait till april, try again with ubuntu 10.4 | 10:38 |
| pixelfairy | 9.10 will prolly work | 10:39 |
| ddrj | also got another question.... is there a backup utility i can use to make backups of other computers (2 x running windows) via network and store said backups onto my ubuntu box? | 10:39 |
| rautamiekka | pixelfairy: I suppose that's my only option. | 10:39 |
| Topy44 | hm... i am trying to either get window-picker-applet running on xfce4-panel through xfapplet, or find an xfce4 replacement for window-picker-applet | 10:39 |
| airtonix | ddrj, could you use windows backup clients that send their backup data via smb to the ubuntu machine ? | 10:40 |
| josh-N | brjann: too bad there is no more "official" thing in the standard repositories. i'll try the client you linked to. thanks alot for your help. | 10:40 |
| erUSUL | !backup | ddrj | 10:40 |
| ubottu | ddrj: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 10:40 |
| airtonix | ddr-, sourceforge might be a good place to look for a client that would run on various platforms | 10:40 |
| brjann | josh-N: getting afpfs-ng integrated into ubuntu has been on the wishlist for a while, apparently | 10:40 |
| ddrj | airtonix: hmm yeah thanks checking | 10:41 |
| brjann | josh-N: but you're welcome, and good luck | 10:41 |
| MistaG | hi everyone | 10:41 |
| rautamiekka | ddrj: you could also use an automatic sync software like Allway Sync which is really easy and it's powerful | 10:41 |
| rautamiekka | Hi MistaG | 10:41 |
| airtonix | ddrj, i assume you have ubuntu clients too ? (i;m using deja-du on my ubuntu client to do automated daily backups) | 10:41 |
| ddrj | thanks rautamiekka, i'll check that too | 10:41 |
| kittenjaugar | please, a small question, I use apt-get install ipython COMMAND, whether ipython-0.8 affect originalpython? I don't understand what help.ubuntu.com talking about apt-get.... | 10:42 |
| ddrj | airtonix: yes i do, thanks adding that to my list, one of the pc's will be an ubuntu client | 10:42 |
| airtonix | ddrj, https://launchpad.net/deja-dup | 10:42 |
| heimdall | airtonix: am i supposed to type some command to load it? it doesn't show up in my plugin list | 10:42 |
| airtonix | heimdall, maybe the files are corrupted, can you open them in the text editor? | 10:43 |
| heimdall | yes i can | 10:43 |
| MistaG | anybody from slovenia here? | 10:43 |
| rautamiekka | ddrj: My idea was that the Win clients use Allway Sync or other sync software to automatically sync the data via Window$ Transfer [that's what I call it when you put "\\ADDRESS" to address line in My Computer] to Ub machine, obviously using the Samba. | 10:43 |
| airtonix | heimdall, i assume you restarted gedit after putting them in the plugins folder? | 10:43 |
| heimdall | yes | 10:43 |
| pixelfairy | ugh, trying to get a feature request into kvm, it doesnt have a bug tracker | 10:43 |
| brjann | MistaG: you might try #ubuntu-si | 10:44 |
| airtonix | heimdall, and you have other plugins in that folder that work ? | 10:44 |
| Topy44 | hm, it seems what happens is that the unr window-picker-applet does not communicate its width to xfapplet correctly | 10:44 |
| Topy44 | therefore its always just 1 icon wide | 10:44 |
| heimdall | airtonix: i dont have any other plugins | 10:44 |
| heimdall | brb | 10:44 |
| airtonix | heimdall, i would try getting others to work | 10:44 |

| AdvoWork | is there any way sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 could ever cause a problem on the server? | 10:47 |
| brjann | AdvoWork: from the e2fsck man page: it is safe if the -n option is specified, and -c, -l, or -L options are not specified. However, even if it is safe to do so, the results printed by e2fsck are not valid if the filesystem is mounted. | 10:50 |

| RedNifre | Hi! | 11:09 |
| Hawkeye | I am here to enquire about mirroring Ubuntu | 11:10 |
| ddrj | thanks again! now i'm off to finding a cheap workstation / desktop on ebay that i can use as the ubuntu server (this might be tough because most of those cheapo dell desktops on ebay are IDE and not SATA and don't support more than a 500 gigs usually) if you have any suggestions for that, i would love to hear it :D | 11:10 |
| RedNifre | Hidden folders start with a dot, right? If I want to hide a folder do I just change it from "foo" to ".foo"? And will programs that reference it still be able to find it? Is "/foo/" the same location as "/.foo/" or will I have to modify all programs that reference it? | 11:10 |

| indus | switchgirl, strange irony, ubuntu is for all, then you have a women's channel | 11:24 |
| switchgirl | and i have no messages | 11:24 |
| indus | ok moved on | 11:24 |
| airtonix | switchgirl, ok i assume you have tried connecting to the mail accounts with other mail clients ? | 11:24 |

| airtonix | switchgirl, if so have you tried resetting thunderbird (temporarily) by moving the thunderbird user config folder elsewhere and trying again with a fresh config setup ? | 11:25 |
| switchgirl | airtonix: i'm using the BETA | 11:26 |
| switchgirl | its BETtA | 11:27 |
| switchgirl | :P | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 11:28 |
| airtonix | switchgirl, so you've tried both those options? then i would try running thunderbird from terminal so that you get some feedback from the terminal stdout...maybe it gives something to indicate why you can not recieve mail ? | 11:28 |
| jointman | hiya guys | 11:28 |
| switchgirl | ok airtonix | 11:30 |
| [V13]Axel | Hello, Jointman. | 11:30 |

| mandrkldf33833 | in windows there are applications which are portable, e.g. vlc portable, firefox portable. those apps can be extracted to hard disk and start without installing. is there something for ubuntu, too? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | marcobxbro1: you can run those portable apps in wine (so i've heard) | 11:31 |
| airtonix | mandrkldf33833, yes. | 11:31 |
| Stargaze | mandrkldf33833, try 'Portable Ubuntu' | 11:32 |
| airtonix | mandrkldf33833, i think you'll find that those two apps you mention are actually portable by nature when you download them from teh mozilla site | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Stargaze: is portable ubuntu official by canonical? | 11:32 |
| [V13]Axel | ActionParsnip: Really? Wow. I don't get any notifications on ChatZilla. I don't have mIRC yet on this computer. | 11:33 |
| prisko | ciao | 11:33 |
| switchgirl | airtonix: i'd prefer not to use the old one as its rubbish imho | 11:33 |
| DJones | mandrkldf33833: WIth Ubuntu, you have an option to have a live usb install with full apps for firefox & vlc installed so that you can just boot on any computer capeable of USB boot and run your own personal version of ubuntu | 11:33 |
| airtonix | mandrkldf33833, another one that is portable is floola | 11:33 |
| airtonix | switchgirl, up to you really... but since its beta software and you're having issues, one can only come to a two way descision : a) keep using it and help debug the problem with reports to mozilla or b) use the version you know work | 11:34 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 11:35 |
| mandrkldf33833 | thx for the answers, but actually what i am looking for is the exact equivalent of vlc portable for ubuntu. so if i run ubuntu and have no admin rights, why not download a programm, extract it like vlc portable for windows and start this program. | 11:35 |

| kslen | how is ubuntu 10.04 lts performance wise for you guys? switching between directories regardless of the file manager is uber uber slow. | 11:39 |
| ShapeShifter499 | died....um it shut off with no warning and would not turn back on | 11:39 |

| chiiiiiz | Too few people on #ubuntu-offtopic... I ask my question... | 11:44 |
| chiiiiiz | I have an old Nvidia 6700XL (PCI-X 128 Mo video). Is there any problem using it on a AMD based motherboard with an Athlon x4??? Or would it be better to use an Intel based MB, or to buy an ATI (ATI + ubuntu == problems) | 11:44 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| kinja-sheep | chiiiiiz: #hardware ? :) | 11:44 |
| [V13]Axel | Claws: You might want to clarify. VirtualBox is better, easier to install, better GUI. I'm gonna go with ActionParsnip here, install to a USB flash drive, it's a true install that doesn't require splitting resources. | 11:44 |
| kinja-sheep | or #hardwares (either way). | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | chiiiiiz: should be fine, nvidia are very supported | 11:44 |
| FireCrotch | chiiiiiz: off topic, but I see no reason that it wouldn't work just fine | 11:44 |
| the_gamer | what is the difference between aptitude remove and aptitude reinstall? i want to remove all configfiles with erasing the program | 11:44 |
| kinja-sheep | the_gamer: aptitude purge | 11:45 |
| chiiiiiz | NO I thought that AMD only or better works with ATI... | 11:45 |
| chiiiiiz | Going to #hardware!! | 11:45 |
| chiiiiiz | thanks anyway | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | the_gamer: remove removes the app, reinstall redownloads the deb and install sit over the top of whats installed | 11:45 |
| the_gamer | kinja-sheep, thanks | 11:45 |
| the_gamer | ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:45 |
| indus | when is international mens day | 11:46 |
| [V13]Axel | Aptitude reinstall simply uninstalls and reinstalls the basic program. Remove removes the program but not settings. Purge gets rid of all setting files as well. | 11:46 |
| airtonix | indus, next friday | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | the_gamer: could use: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename and it will remove the app and its config | 11:46 |
| Stargaze | the_gamer, type aptitude in a Terminal | 11:46 |
| indus | really? | 11:46 |

| [V13]Axel | Weird question. My Computer Engineering Tech 2 teacher allows us to bring in USB bootable operating systems to demonstrate for the class. Would there be any way to log onto my school network via Ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | [V13]Axel: you will be able to logon with the local accounts just fine, you may need to add proxy settings if the network uses them and / or add the system to the domain | 11:58 |
| Stargaze | axel, try Places > Connect to server | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | [V13]Axel: take in xpud too, watch those windows users jaws drop :) | 11:58 |
| mopad | erUSUL: because it doesnt work. i have a -real- ubuntu 9.10 install and use the nvidia driver..but sometimes i have to run it through VirtualBox which needs manual xorg.conf modifications to use >800*600 resolutions | 11:58 |
| Stargaze | !xpud | 11:58 |
| [V13]Axel | ActionParsnip: What about onto the network as a user? Xpud? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | [V13]Axel: xpud boots faster than most crt monitors can warm up | 11:58 |
| Stargaze | what's xpud? | 11:59 |
| [V13]Axel | What is it? Is it an OS or is it something for Ubuntu? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | [V13]Axel: you dont have to log on as a network user, just use the local accounts | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | [V13]Axel: its a VERY stripped down Linux distro | 11:59 |
| [V13]Axel | Ah. Kinda like DSL? | 11:59 |

| erUSUL | mopad: maybe you can just do an ugly hack and do the magic here /etc/init/gdm.conf | 12:02 |
| erUSUL | mopad: but keep a cpy of the original around | 12:02 |

| === Guest85189 is now known as Nijverheid | ||
| ActionParsnip | UpgradingUser: upgrade keeps settings and stuff, less work. clean install will give a nice clean system without all the old fluff from the old install, you may lose some settings (especially if you do not have a separate /home partition) | 12:03 |
| bloodbender | hey | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | UpgradingUser: some users have issues after upgrades which are cured with a clean install, its a bit of a mixed bag really | 12:04 |
| UpgradingUser | ActionPasnip: What about the change from EXT3 to EXT4? Think its a good idea to upgrade that too? I need to read more about the Filesystems. | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | UpgradingUser: if you upgrade ext3 to ext4 you wont get ALL the benefits of ext4. You will need to clean format to get the full set | 12:05 |

| ShapeShifter499 | REASKING MY QUESTION: I need help...one of my computers died and I do not know why....My mom uses it for playing internet games and such and just a few minutes ago it just died....the computer is a 15 inch apple powerbook g4 with 512 mb of ram, 60 gigs of storage, and had ubuntu 9.10 on it | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ShapeShifter499: clarify 'died' - and Yes. PC's can burn out and die at any time. | 12:33 |
| kenek | open jock # ferrari | 12:33 |
| ShapeShifter499 | it shut off with no warning and would not turn back on | 12:33 |
| the_gamer | ShapeShifter499, there is no question. it died. bury it | 12:33 |
| indus | ShapeShifter499, the problem could be heat | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ShapeShifter499: could be the power supply, or any of a dozen other things. | 12:33 |
| ShapeShifter499 | it wasn't hot.... | 12:33 |
| indus | ShapeShifter499, you call tech support | 12:33 |
| indus | ShapeShifter499, could be faulty power supply anything really | 12:34 |

| indus | ShapeShifter499, lift the keyboard? huh ?? | 12:35 |

| brah- | gol'd technology | 13:38 |
| nibbler_ | AceKing, ok, your are right there. the folder belongs to root, and only root can execute (enter) it. so do "sudo -i" and become root, then use nano to edit the file. our first approch was not wise, sorry | 13:38 |
| AceKing | nibbler, Thank you for explaining! | 13:39 |
| jiohdi | AceKing: you can also open a file manager from root like thunar or nautilis and as a root file manager you can edit files graphically | 13:41 |

| kaolbrec | shookees, it should be pretty self explanatory | 14:01 |

| archman | i have / partition, for root, then another ext3 for other storage, and one ntfs for storage too; i wanna remove that ntfs, and join it with my ext3 storage (not system) one; can i do it all outside linux (example: using acronis disk director) and will the fstab file be auto reconfigured, or do i need to do something by hand to that file also? :) | 14:03 |

| jiohdi | JPSman: under STAT you should find Rl for running program | 14:08 |
| nibbler_ | mattgyver, only if its a mirror setup and if you stop the raid meanwhile. otherwise it will need to resync | 14:09 |
| === Gast389254 is now known as _raven_ | ||
| mattgyver | nibbler_, yeah it is a mirror setup. Would it be best to just image the disk and wipe the drive then so it completely resyncs everything properly? | 14:10 |
| jalons | it will resync properly | 14:10 |
| mattgyver | o ok | 14:11 |

| ginbuntu | hi, I have file sharing turned on. but it only share files which have permission 755. when ever I put new files into the shared folder it is not visible on my other pc. I have to change it manually to 755. is there a way to change the permission automatically to 755 whenever I copy/create files in this folder? | 14:11 |
| nibbler_ | yep :p very scary | 14:11 |
| jalons | Are teh files really modified that often that you need to do that? | 14:11 |
| mattgyver | nibbler_, jalons i was gonna just use clonezilla however it doesnt support a way to image a software raid1, do you guys know another way? | 14:11 |

| nibbler_ | mattgyver, just use rsync -a - if you have productive systems running like databases, do the rsync, to it again, stop the db, do it again, start the db, gives you downtime of less than 1 minute (i assume) | 14:12 |
| nibbler_ | mattgyver, these files will also be suitable for disaster recovery... just make sure to not include /proc and /sys in the backup :) | 14:13 |

| mattgyver | nibbler_, cool that sounds like a good idea I will deffinately look into that | 14:13 |
| mattgyver | nibbler_, i do have db's running so i could just stop the db first right and just run it once correct? | 14:14 |
| kingfishr | This is probably hopeless, but is there any way to have ubuntu keep track of packages I specifically install (as opposed to others that are pulled in as deps)? I'd like to apt-get autoremove without getting rid of all the libs I installed manually for software I custom compiled. | 14:14 |
| SolarisBoy | mattgyver: what is your goal? | 14:14 |
| nibbler_ | mattgyver, sure, just stop them before, if you can allow longer downtimes. | 14:14 |
| mattgyver | SolarisBoy, if something happens, more so related to user error, i have a file system image so i can reload it asap. | 14:14 |
| nibbler_ | backups are a good idea anyway :) | 14:15 |
| SolarisBoy | ok so a bootable system image? what OS and hardware? | 14:15 |
| mattgyver | SolarisBoy, doesnt necessarily have to be a bootable system image really, im okay with just a partimage or clonezilla image that i can reload | 14:16 |
| SolarisBoy | ok | 14:16 |
| nibbler_ | mattgyver, to be complete also backup the output of sfdisk -l and dd if=/dev/sdX count=1 bs=512 | 14:17 |

It wouldn't ever give the option to load an os. So I reinstalled then nautilus stopped working. As in I couldn't access my trash or computer or network and so on. I reinstalled again and decided to be very careful with what updates I install now. Then on my main computer wubi sto | 15:56 |

| Stargaze | mouse, check this link => http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html | 16:03 |
| Stargaze | mouse, it's not linux's fault, if developpers won't port their games to linux | 16:05 |
| budo | need assistance, java is installed, yet the iceweasel brower not pickin it up | 16:05 |
| Trek | budo: make sure you have the plugin installed, its a separate package | 16:06 |
| damian | I'm job hunting online, and I'm getting a Internet Explorer required to view the application, is there any way to get around this without installing IE? X_x | 16:06 |
| budo | okay, thank you | 16:07 |
| Stargaze | damian, some browsers do imitate IE, with a plugin or so | 16:07 |
| mneptok | mouse: install Ubuntu into its own partition carved from free space in your Windows partition. Wubi is not something i would use or recommend. | 16:08 |
| zinox | why developpers should care about games for linux if video cards on linux has a crap driver support? leak of standardization too.. will take a long time until Linux reaches a level acceptable for production and development Games | 16:08 |
| damian | well, so far I've tried firefox, Opera with the IE setting, SeaMonkey, and Conquerer without success :( | 16:08 |
| mouse | stargaze, no need to take offense. I don't hold linux developers responsible for it. If anything it's the everyday casual user that wants emails and youtube but doesn't want to actually learn anything. If game designers would open their doors to the linux platform, all other OSes would fall. | 16:09 |
| DodoBird | zinox: They generally shouldn't, and most won't until we see better hardware support, likely as the result of some large company throwing its weight behind making Linux desktop viable for everyday home use. | 16:09 |
| mouse | mneptok, What do you suggest? | 16:09 |
| zinox | sure | 16:09 |
| Stargaze | mouse, idd, it is said that consultants never recommend Linux, because they would lose their jobs, as Linux has fewer issues than Windows | 16:10 |
| purpzey | Can someone help out to umount a folder, I accidentally mounted it from the local machine using NFS, and when I go to umount it I get "device is busy" but if I run fuser I don't get any process | 16:10 |

| mneptok | mouse: use Windows to create free space out of unused space on your disk. then boot from the Ubuntu CD/DVD and partition and format that free space, and install to it. | 16:11 |
| mouse | stargaze, game designers aren't making games for linux because windows is more buggy? That doesn't make sense. | 16:11 |
| Stargaze | mouse, i'm not talking about games, but the system in general | 16:12 |

| purpzey | nibbler_: I ran that command, and it didn't unmount the dir, then I tried umount and I still got device is busy, am I missing something? | 16:12 |
| Stargaze | ID no longer ports its games to Linux, i guess because of the smaller marketshare | 16:12 |
| mouse | stargaze, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. | 16:13 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, the command i gave you should show you processes accessing the share, these have to be stopped/killed | 16:13 |
| purpzey | nibbler_: It didn't display anything. | 16:13 |
| mouse | mneptok, is there a tool you suggest I should use? | 16:13 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, you used your mountpoint instead of "mountpoint"? | 16:13 |
| usr13 | purpzey: Edit /etc/fstab | 16:14 |
| purpzey | nibbler_: I used sudo mount | 16:14 |
| nibbler_ | usr13, how is this supposed to help? | 16:14 |
| mneptok | mouse: for ... ? | 16:14 |
| usr13 | purpzey: Or just review it? | 16:14 |
| usr13 | nibbler_: Not sure really. | 16:14 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, lets say your mountpoint is /mnt, so use: sudo lsof |grep /mnt | 16:14 |
| purpzey | nibbler_: Oh oh, yes...I did lsof | grep /home/mountpoint | 16:14 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, and maybe prepend sudo, i'm not sure if this is needed :\ | 16:15 |
| resolver | an anyone tell me if its possible...i want to create a separate partition for /home so that when i have to format my system due to crashes....i'll then mount it at root...my root size will be 10Gb and the /home partition will be containing more that 20Gb...will that cause any problem as I am going to mount a bigger partition | 16:15 |

| nibbler_ | purpzey, anyways, you can always try: sudo umount -f /home/mountpoint - but try other approaches first. | 16:16 |
| mouse | mneptok, it sounds like you're suggesting I unpartition part of windows then boot into this free space and install ubuntu within it. If this is the basic idea then I do not know how or have the tools to do it. | 16:17 |
| usr13 | resolver: You can put your /home on as big a partition as you want. | 16:17 |

| usr13 | resolver: You can not "mount a new partition on a partition which is of lower size". | 16:19 |
| Stargaze | Portable Ubuntu is more userfriendly and based on colinux | 16:19 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, ok, the gvfs is not related to your problem. no other output? try sudo umount -f | 16:19 |
| purpzey | nibbler_: sudo umount -f /mount/point ? | 16:19 |
| usr13 | resolver: You need free space to create the new partition on. Or, you need another HD. | 16:19 |
| nibbler_ | purpzey, yep | 16:19 |

| ASULutzy | hekin: Well, it will give you the temps of your CPU, and then you can go from there. Generally you can adjust fan settings in the BIOS. I actually don't know a "speedfan" sort of app for Ubuntu, but I'm sure there is one. | 16:36 |

| Trek | hekin: so you say "Linux" instead of Ubuntu | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | h00k: we are refering to a Syngery issue. With Syngery a 'screen' is actrually on a different PC. Not virtual desktops on a single pc | 16:37 |
| CardinalFang | Dr_Willis, me either. No one does that, AFAIK. That's not the cause. | 16:37 |
| mrdk | sloopy, yes I think it was that I guess | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | CardinalFang: thats what im reading 0 is how they seem to be able to 'make it happen' but I could be missreading | 16:38 |
| sloopy | mrdk, sure it wasnt /dev/mem ? | 16:38 |
| h00k | Dr_Willis: ah, I just saw the 'why would I be pressing' keys comment. I'm familiar with synergy. | 16:38 |
| hekin | Trek, yes, I told them it's a distro of Linux, but they said they were not familiar with it | 16:38 |

| ASULutzy | mrdk, sloopy, usr13: There is no problem that that would be an appropriate solution for. | 16:39 |
| CardinalFang | Dr_Willis, Great. | 16:39 |
| mrdk | usr13, firefox crashed on websites like youtube and myspace | 16:39 |
| mouse | I'm sure the answer is yes but is it possible to dual boot ubuntu and mint? | 16:39 |
| sloopy | ASULutzy, yeah i think someone was screwing with him(or her) | 16:39 |
| demonspork_ | mouse, yes | 16:39 |

| usr13 | mrdk: I'm not sure what echo cat /dev /urandom > /dev/men > /etc/bash/bashrc was supposed to do for you???? | 16:40 |
| craig_gnome | !lm-sensors | 16:40 |
| ubottu | To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 16:40 |
| usr13 | mrdk: Sounds like you had a problem with flash | 16:40 |
| Trek | hekin: or, I just say, "Let me speak to either your supervisor or the next-level technician" | 16:40 |
| demonspork_ | mouse, the Ubuntu installer should recognize any existing installation (especially if it is booting with grub) and automatically set up the dual boot. | 16:40 |
| mrdk | usr13: someone told me it would fix my firefox problem | 16:40 |
| Trek | hekin: i'm evil when I bother Dell tech support, huh? :P | 16:40 |
| usr13 | mrdk: Did it fix your firefox problem? | 16:41 |
| h00k | mrdk: it won't, no, that's actually quite a dangerous command, if done correctly. | 16:41 |
| mrdk | usr13: no, because I can't boot anymore... | 16:41 |
| hekin | Trek, you know what, I'm in China, there're nothing more evil than the tech support here | 16:41 |
| mrdk | h00k: what does it do? | 16:41 |
| usr13 | mrdk: What is it doing...? | 16:41 |
| ASULutzy | mrdk, usr13: If you were to pipe /dev/urandom over your /etc/bash.bashrc, that would be a "bad thing". | 16:41 |
| Trek | hekin: too true | 16:41 |
| h00k | mrdk: replaces that file with random garbage. | 16:41 |

| ASULutzy | mrdk: If you have a live-cd, we could pastebin you a proper /etc/bash.bashrc file to restore it. | 16:42 |
| hiexpo | Dr_Willis, how do i configure my game pad to work here on ubuntu 9.10 | 16:42 |
| Trek | hekin: in that case, hekin, you're stuck probably replacingi the fan yourself. i hope you have the tech knowledge to effectively change the fan on your system, if at all possible. | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | hiexpo: i just plug mine in and they work. | 16:42 |
| Stargaze | demonspork, i think that was a proposal by mouse :) | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | hiexpo: some times in sopecific games i have to configure it. | 16:42 |
| mrdk | h00k: where do I get a live cd from? | 16:42 |
| ASULutzy | mrdk: Presumably you installed Ubuntu using one | 16:43 |
| h00k | mrdk: you'd have to download it, I suppose. it's the "installer" cd. | 16:43 |
| hekin | Trek, actually, that's the last thing i want to do right now, but thank you for the advice, really | 16:43 |
| usr13 | mrdk: h00k Looks like ASULutzy has a pretty good suggestion. | 16:43 |

| ubottu | mycomp: 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 | 16:45 |
| mrdk | ASULutzy: is vi an editor? | 16:45 |
| mycomp | ok thanks | 16:46 |
| ASULutzy | mrdk: Use a live-cd of some kind. The Ubuntu installer CD would work. You'd want to boot off the live-cd, then mount the filesystem, then edit /etc/bash.bashrc to contain the contents of that pastebin. And yes, vi is an editor. | 16:46 |
| mrdk | ASULutzy: ok, I'm already trying to boot the cd | 16:47 |
| mrdk | DAMN I FIXED IT!! | 16:47 |
| mouse | Does anyone know a good tutorial for making a .txt file script that runs in terminal? | 16:47 |
| Souljah | txt file script? | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | mrdk: I'm not sure what the rules are on the ubuntu forums, but whoever told you to do that was clearly being malicious. You should PM a moderator or something about it; we don't need malicious users trying to hose up peoples' systems. | 16:48 |

| ASULutzy | mrdk: Maybe? I don't use ZFS :P | 16:51 |
| ASULutzy | mouse: Someone on the forums told him to cat /dev/urandom over his /etc/bash.bashrc file | 16:51 |

| evud | Hello. I bought a printer(Lexmark E260D), I installed the printer into the system by using the .ppd files I found on the printer's cd. The problem is, there are pdf files that are printer very quick in very good quality and there are other pdf files which take very very much time to go to the printer and the quality isn't so good. Why is this happening? Any ideas? I mean, I'm printing .pdf files, why some have good quality and other bad? | 17:05 |
| abhi_nav | soreau: i have to do it with two over smart guys here | 17:05 |
| Desciero | ASULutzy: I can post those later on. Is there an e-mail address or website I can send it to? | 17:05 |
| soreau | Desciero: I can tell you two things right off hand. 1) fglrx the proprietary driver does not support your card. 2) EnvyNG can mess up your system and make it irreparable. | 17:05 |

| Stargaze | idelegas, check http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html | 17:06 |
| Desciero | soreau: Should I just reformat the partition and reinstall ubuntu then? | 17:06 |
| soreau | Desciero: So the first thing I would try to do is 1) Try to convince envy to undo whatever it did 2) Look for an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati/ and run it if you find one there 3) Remove all packages with fglrx in their name | 17:07 |
| eraggo | evud: both plain text? | 17:07 |
| evud | eraggo: plain text is printed in very good quality and very fast | 17:07 |
| soreau | Desciero: After you remove the driver in those 3 ways, reboot then I will have you post your X log | 17:07 |
| eraggo | evud: good. is there image on that "bad quality" 1 | 17:08 |
| Desciero | soreau: I think I'm just going to reinstall ubuntu. I want to start clean. | 17:08 |
| Desciero | soreau: If I do that, when it loads for the first time, what should I do to get my drivers working? | 17:08 |
| soreau | Desciero: Ok, that is fine. Just know not to install fglrx. Instead come to #compiz or #radeon and we can help you get it working if its still not working for some reason | 17:09 |
| Desciero | soreau: Sounds good, thanks. I will have to do that later on tonight. | 17:09 |
| soreau | Desciero: But the open driver should work, even on a live cd | 17:09 |

| eraggo | evud: hmm.. is the difference how big? i mean in time | 17:10 |
| evud | eraggo: yes, it could take 30 seconds for the printer to start printing one page. If there are two pages it takes much longer(1 minute +) | 17:11 |

| erUSUL | b0fh_ua: use badblocks ? | 17:18 |
| eraggo | evud: is documents scanned or wrote on text prormam? :) | 17:19 |
| tankdriver | hello, is this the correct list of nvidia gpus, supported by the linux beta driver? http://de.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/195.30/README/supportedchips.html | 17:19 |
| SmittyJensen | Is there anything I can do with an old computer? I already have a 360 for games, and two other computers for regular usage. but this one will be in my bedroom. Any cool things to do? | 17:19 |
| b0fh_ua | erUSUL: hm, nice | 17:19 |
| ja_ | you could use it as router | 17:19 |
| SmittyJensen | Already have one. | 17:19 |
| SmittyJensen | And it has a 250GB HD. | 17:19 |
| ja_ | mediacenter? | 17:20 |
| SmittyJensen | What IS a media center? | 17:20 |
| evud | eraggo: the bad quality one doesn't seem scanned, It's like someone wrote it in latex and then did it in pdf. The one with the good quality seems to be writter in openoffice and then done to pdf | 17:20 |
| ja_ | or NAS | 17:20 |
| SmittyJensen | ja_, explain. | 17:20 |
| SmittyJensen | I do most of my multimedia on my 360. | 17:20 |
| ja_ | ah okay | 17:20 |
| b0fh_ua | erUSUL: this will search for badblocks but not correct them | 17:20 |
| SmittyJensen | Well is it possible to stream to the 360, ja_, with linux? | 17:21 |
| ja_ | ten use it as NAS device | 17:21 |
| SmittyJensen | whats a nas? | 17:21 |
| erUSUL | b0fh_ua: see the -c and -k options to e2fsck | 17:21 |
| ja_ | network attached storage | 17:21 |
| SmittyJensen | can i access it from the 360? | 17:21 |
| eraggo | evud: maybe latex gave bit too much black spots to document and printer tries to select which opints it prints and which not :) | 17:22 |
| ja_ | dont know | 17:22 |
| SmittyJensen | my other computer has a 500gb hard drive so i'm not really in need of space. | 17:22 |
| b0fh_ua | erUSUL: there's no -k | 17:22 |
| SmittyJensen | I was thinking of using it as a regular computer, but the monitor I have for it is pink (the screen is). | 17:22 |
| evud | eraggo: Well, Is there a way to fix this if we have the .ps for example of the file? :S (I didn't quite understand what you said) | 17:23 |
| erUSUL | b0fh_ua: -k When combined with the -c option, any existing bad blocks in the bad blocks list are preserved, and any new bad blocks found by running badblocks(8) will be added to the existing bad blocks list. | 17:23 |
| SmittyJensen | trying to think of a good distro for it. | 17:23 |
| erUSUL | b0fh_ua: check -c option first | 17:23 |
| SmittyJensen | what would 256mb of ram run, anyone know? | 17:23 |
| ja_ | DSL, debian | 17:23 |
| SmittyJensen | debian is on there already. | 17:24 |
| ja_ | ubuntu server with fluxbox | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: not a whole lot. :) if you wanted a dedicated video player box - check out geexbox | 17:24 |
| Stargaze | SmittyJensen, try xPud or Puppy Linux | 17:24 |
| SmittyJensen | Dr_Willis, the problem with all this is I don't know what any of this means. | 17:24 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: 256M of ram is substandard for any modern OS. | 17:24 |
| SmittyJensen | Yeah, yeah, I know. | 17:24 |
| SmittyJensen | puppy linux. thats great. | 17:24 |
| SmittyJensen | Thanks a lot. | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: time to get reading i guess | 17:25 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: What processor? | 17:25 |
| SmittyJensen | its a p4 1.6ghz | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: track down more ram from some junk machines.. it will run 300%+ better | 17:25 |
| SmittyJensen | it has a 250gb hd which is why i don't wanna waste it. | 17:25 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: Just put more memory in it and you can do all sorts of cool stuff with it. | 17:25 |
| SmittyJensen | meh, don't need a whole ton of memory. | 17:25 |
| josemoreira | hello, anyone running ubuntu on an imac late 2006 ? | 17:25 |
| SmittyJensen | i don't plan on doing lots with it. browse the internet, really. | 17:25 |
| Curly_Q | A question about apt-get. Are the programs installed with Ubuntu but when using apt-get it searches the internet for the dependencies? Or are the programs and dependencies within the installation of Ubuntu? | 17:25 |
| photocopy | Losha: you here? | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: we are saying the exact opposite... so do what you want. | 17:25 |
| eraggo | evud: i dont thinks that there is straight way to boost quality but im looking in ut | 17:25 |
| photocopy | guess not. | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: let be a sluggish web browser then | 17:26 |
| distant_voice | please help, I reinstalled windows and now I can't get back into Ubuntu. I've already tried various methods listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but nothing seems to work :( | 17:26 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: Get a 512M stick for $10 or so and you'll have a nice box. | 17:26 |
| SmittyJensen | is it really going to be sluggish with puppy linux? | 17:26 |
| erUSUL | Curly_Q: apt installs both the programs and the dependencies from the same repositories | 17:26 |
| tibrox | is the network manager of jaunty under preferences -> network conections? if so, how to Iedit my dns connections? | 17:26 |
| h00k | Curly_Q: it grabs them from the official Ubuntu repositories | 17:26 |
| photocopy | Can k3b burn a .nrg disc image? it doesnt seem to recognize it. | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: puppylinux is very weird in many ways. Puppy can fully copy to ram if you have the ram. | 17:26 |
| SmittyJensen | hrmm.. | 17:26 |
| Curly_Q | erUSUL are those included with the installation of Ubuntu from the outset? | 17:26 |
| SmittyJensen | i might upgrade the ram later. | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: if you want a decent web browser box.. get moar ram | 17:26 |
| SmittyJensen | meh, ok. | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | SmittyJensen: its amazing how mch memory flash and firefox and other browsers suck up | 17:27 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: All you need is more memroy and it will not cost all that much to upgrade. | 17:27 |
| erUSUL | Curly_Q: i do not understand your question; what is included? | 17:27 |
| SmittyJensen | oh, yeah.. flash. | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | more ram. will be the cost of.. like.. a decent meal.. :) | 17:27 |
| seb__ | so nobody got an idea how to fix my mouse on my ubuntu karmic? | 17:27 |
| SmittyJensen | yeah, i know. | 17:27 |
| SmittyJensen | then i can run something decent on it. | 17:27 |
| Stargaze | what's the command line for reinstallation? | 17:28 |
| evud | eraggo: Well, thank you very much for your help! I tried some other .pdf files too and they are being printed very well, so I guess the one .pdf I tried doesn't have so good quality | 17:28 |
| h00k | Curly_Q: it compares what you have installed already and what it needs, then it grabs out what extra stuff it needs from the Repository | 17:28 |
| evud | as you said | 17:28 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: 762M or 1G of RAM and you can do what ever you want with it. | 17:28 |
| seb__ | seems that i realy have to switch to windows after one year with ubuntu - cause i cannot work with my system anymore | 17:29 |
| eraggo | evud: latex makes pdf part from bitmap image and sometimes quality sucks | 17:29 |
| Curly_Q | In other words, when Ubuntu is initially installed, all of the hopefull packages that a person could or would want are set in a database of Ubuntu. Which brings us to the next thought that does Ubuntu have for example nmap or any other program in the database to just elicit the command apt-get <whatever> ? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | seb__: you have checked the forums? ive never had a usb mouse issue in ubuntu. so cant suggest much | 17:29 |
| usr13 | SmittyJensen: The way it is now, ... well makes a fairly good boat anchor :) | 17:29 |
| evud | eraggo: ok. thank you very much for your time and help ;) | 17:30 |
| * Stargaze has u usb mouse too | 17:30 | |
| Dr_Willis | photocopy: ive heard it can. there are also nrg to iso converter tools or you could mount it and copy the files from it to a iso/cd | 17:30 |
| photocopy | Can anybody tell me if k3b can burn .nrg images? it's a Nero proprietary format... | 17:30 |
| h00k | Curly_Q: perhaps this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | photocopy: just turn the nrg into an iso (or bin + cue) | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | photocopy: the 'fuse iso' tools can access files from .nrg i hear.. but dont expect fancy copy protected game disks to keep their special stuff | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | !iso | photocopy | 17:30 |
| ubottu | photocopy: 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. | 17:30 |
| seb__ | Dr_Willi, but I cannot find anything which fits my needs | 17:31 |
| h00k | photocopy: probably not, nero proprietary formats are silly | 17:31 |
| photocopy | erUSUL: can you explain how i can do this? | 17:31 |
| GeekSquid | Curly_Q: this is good too... www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 17:31 |
| erUSUL | photocopy: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | seb__: i havent heard the actual problem.. but its my bed time. So good luck. | 17:31 |
| photocopy | Dr_Willis: ah, a fancy copy protected game disk is sort of what it is.. T_T | 17:31 |
| === Urda_ is now known as uRDA | ||
| seb__ | Dr_Willis, yes i have, but I cannot find anything which fits my needs | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | photocopy: go get no-cd-cracks.. | 17:31 |
| === uRDA is now known as Urda | ||
| photocopy | Dr_Willis: i suppose I should just get a windows user to burn it for me? also i cant, its actually a PS2 game... lol | 17:31 |
| Stargaze | Dr_Willis, what time time is it in your segment of the planet? | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | photocopy: No idea on that then. I | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Stargaze: 12:30 - i work 3rd shift | 17:32 |
| photocopy | Dr, Willis, thanks I guess ill just get a windows buddy to do it. Much appreciated. | 17:32 |
| Stargaze | 6.30pm here | 17:32 |
| almoxarife | again I clobbered chrome playing with java, is there a sane way to insure chrome sees java support ? | 17:32 |
| seb__ | Dr_Willis: the problem is, that i cannot use my mouse. and e.g this chat the input keyboards hangs every 3 seconds | 17:32 |
| usr13 | photocopy: NRG is just a utility suite made by Nero AG, to create and burn ISO 9660 CD images. | 17:32 |
| Curly_Q | GeekSquid thanks for that link. :) H00k thanks for that link as well. :) | 17:33 |
| almoxarife | seb__: what kind of mouse? | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | seb__: sounds like some deep issues. that may be hard to trouble shoot if both usb mouse and keyboard are hanging. (chedk dmesg output for starters i guess), and as a test. Try some linux live cd's and see if it also affects them. If it has the same issue on several different live cd's that would point to a hardware issue. | 17:34 |
| === zz_monteith is now known as monteith | ||
| Dr_Willis | seb__: if it only affects the current install. that would point to some driver/kernel issue | 17:34 |
| almoxarife | seb__: btw, you in a virtualbox? | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Night all. | 17:34 |
| Mkools | Hi their I am running 32 bit kernel on intel x86 processor, I want a 64 bit version for it. But when click download option for 64 bit one it shows image for amd processor? How to get 64 bit image which runs on intel processor? | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Mkools: they all do.. | 17:35 |
| seb__ | almoxarife: logitech usb - worked fine the months. no vm. i guess its the X server. i have 3 screens | 17:35 |
| h00k | Mkools: that's just how they're named, amd64 is just the 64bit version | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | seb__: as a text.. move/rename the xorg.conf thats doing the 3 screens and try no xorg.conf let it auto-detect everything | 17:35 |
| kasi | does the ubuntu apache-2.12-unbuntu package fix the latest flow in mod_isapi: http://www.senseofsecurity.com.au/advisories/SOS-10-002 | 17:35 |

| Urda | ...any easy way to start a program from the top panel "maximized"? | 17:36 |
| almoxarife | seb__: you installed experimental xorg? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | seb__: oops.. i meant as a 'test' :) try it without a xorg.conf | 17:36 |
| erUSUL | Mkools: x86 64 bits extensions arefered as amd64 becouse it was amd who designed it and they deserve to name them | 17:36 |
| Mkools | Dr_Willis: That means I can use it? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Urda: compiz has settings to auto-max , move or resize specific progrms when they start | 17:36 |
| erUSUL | Mkools: intel is amd64 compatible so the amd64 iso would work on a 64 bit intel system | 17:36 |
| Mkools | Ok thanks a lot. | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | people get so strung out about the name amd64 :) | 17:37 |
| usr13 | Urda: If you maximize it and then cloes the problem, it may start as maximized next time, but that depends on the particular program and the way it is configured to run. | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | i bet it gets intel annoyed also | 17:37 |
| usr13 | Urda: program not problem sorry... typo | 17:37 |
| Mkools | Is their any option so that I can upgrade 32 bit kernel to 64 bit one? | 17:38 |
| h00k | Mkools: not without reinstalling, nope | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | Mkools: clean reinstall | 17:38 |
| usr13 | Mkools: I think you will need to re-install | 17:38 |
| Urda | usr13: not big. I'll check it out | 17:38 |

| imbrandon | ugh ok i got a ubuntu 9.10 install ( headless , only access via ssh ) that seems to be going to sleep or hybernate every half an hour or so, i thought i disabled all PM and even removed some of the packages, what log can i look in to track this down ? | 17:39 |
| Stargaze | Kudi, Ipod will be supported as from Lucid 10.04 | 17:40 |
| h00k | Stargaze: the iPod is supported now. | 17:40 |
| Urda | ...um usr13 what setting in compizConfig am I looking for lol | 17:40 |
| Stargaze | h00k, even in Rhythmbox? | 17:40 |
| h00k | Stargaze: yes, depending on what iPod you have. | 17:40 |
| Stargaze | all right | 17:40 |
| h00k | Stargaze: touch/iphone not yet. | 17:40 |
| zoug | videos flicker when compiz is on. any solutions? i have nvidia drivers from website. | 17:41 |
| Stargaze | h00k, i guess i mixed up iPhone and iPod, then | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | zoug: compiz as a 'vblank/vsync' or somthing setting in the CCSM tool that helps that a lot | 17:42 |
| seb__ | almoxarife: you got me an idea. i added launchpad to my sources list couple of weeks ago | 17:42 |
| GeekSquid | Kudi: I still haven't figured that out in RB, I use amarok (because = it just works) | 17:43 |
| zoug | Dr_Willis: hmm, never heard that. let me try | 17:43 |
| h00k | Kudi: if your iPod is supported, it will show up on the left sideof Rhythmbox when it's plugged in | 17:43 |
| Kudi | geeksquid: they need to address that issue | 17:43 |
| h00k | Kudi: Then you can click/drag music from your library to the device | 17:44 |
| GeekSquid | Kudi: I believe Lucid is on track to address that | 17:44 |
| h00k | Kudi: if it doesn't show up, you either have an unsupported iPod, or the plugin isn't enabled | 17:44 |
| Kudi | h00k: i dont even see the left panel anymore, i remember that in the old version tho | 17:44 |
| h00k | Kudi: you don'tsee the left panel in Rhythmbox? | 17:44 |

| gui7 | sometimes my external HD won't auto-mount :/ | 18:04 |
| phrearch | hi | 18:04 |
| qetuR | I have an external TV (42" panasonic) connected with a HDMI cable. When I activate the TV I can't see the whole picture (missing on top and on sides). Im guessing it is the wrong resolution but I'm not capable to change it. It sais "prefered" resulotion on the display is 1280*720, but the display is 1024*768. Is it possible to change this? | 18:04 |
| phrearch | i have 1 proliant server (8core/10gb). does it make sense to install ubuntu enterprise cloud on it, when wanting to virtualize machines? | 18:04 |
| [-Haza-] | usr13: Okay i have some output but im afraid i cannot pastebin now. Since my FF crashed (i guess due to my OS being a little broken) | 18:04 |
| gui7 | any idea why my external Hd isn't auto-mounting - I've unplugged + plugged it back in... | 18:05 |
| [-Haza-] | and i cannot reopen FF | 18:05 |
| [-Haza-] | I know its a pain but can i PM you these 10 lines? | 18:05 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: you should be doing all this dignosys from a livecd to avoid further damage .... | 18:05 |
| gui7 | i can see it on the log file | 18:05 |
| gui7 | any help? | 18:05 |
| usr13 | [-Haza-]: Does it appear that you are experiencing a HD failure? | 18:06 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: Okay. i was afraid to shutdown since i had trouble mounting the OS using the live CD last time :s | 18:06 |
| scavenger_ | I have a quick question... should my Linksys WUSB65GC work out-of-the-box? | 18:06 |
| scavenger_ | *54GC | 18:06 |
| gui7 | any help? | 18:06 |
| gui7 | how should i mount it? | 18:06 |
| [-Haza-] | usr13: I think so if i try to LS some dir's i get I/O errors | 18:06 |
| gui7 | it's in /dev/sdc or something i think | 18:06 |
| ASULutzy | gui7: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l | 18:07 |
| gui7 | ASULutzy, sudo fdisk -l recognized the disk + all partitions as normal | 18:07 |
| erUSUL | gui7: devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdc1 | 18:07 |
| ASULutzy | gui7: I was more asking because in order to mount it you'll need to know which partition it is you want to mount | 18:07 |
| gui7 | ASULutzy, according to fdisk, it's /dev/sdc1 | 18:08 |
| GeekSquid | qetuR: the panasonic's have a function to change the aspect ratio... Should be on the remote, if not it will be in the menus of the tv | 18:09 |
| ASULutzy | So, if you wanted to mount /dev/sdc1 to /media/stuff, you could do sudo mkdir /media/stuff && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/stuff | 18:09 |
| gui7 | ASULutzy, wheni try and mount it it gives me this output: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mntpoint --->> mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist | 18:10 |
| [-Haza-] | usr13: erUSUL: So you think it would be a good idea to shutdown and boot from the live CD? Go from there? I'll need to remount my OS and if i understand correctly its a little more complex if my OS is on a raid array? | 18:11 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: what type of raid is it? | 18:12 |
| [-Haza-] | Striped | 18:12 |
| [-Haza-] | 2 320gb HDs | 18:12 |
| [-Haza-] | 2x | 18:12 |
| qetuR | GeekSquid: thats not it, i cant change so i can see the whole screen | 18:13 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: linux raid? bios fakeraid ? | 18:13 |
| markdymek_ | im having a very weird issue | 18:13 |
| markdymek_ | not sure if its just this program | 18:14 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: Oh, Bios raid. Sorry im not very tech savvy :) | 18:14 |
| gui7 | why doesnt ubuntu auto-mount my external hd? | 18:14 |
| markdymek_ | but i am unable to untar things | 18:14 |

| cboyer1951 | hello, new user here; windows vista machine, windows on sdb/hd0 drive, and ubuntu on sba drive; all installed ok with unetbin (spelling), but 'nothing' is available to load on my architecture, can I just upgrade this online now to ubuntu studio? :) | 18:15 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: you can mount it from the livecd (you have to install dmraid and run a few commands iirc) | 18:15 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: given the raid comes up and all | 18:15 |
| GeekSquid | qetuR: other option is use VLC, it isn't perfect, however it will allow you to adjust the aspect ratio with software ... also what video card do you have? | 18:15 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: I think it does as i saw it when i installed gparted | 18:16 |
| rautamiekka | Is initramfs mandatory as part of booting up Ubuntu 9.04-based systems ? | 18:16 |
| cboyer1951 | thank you erUSUL, i'll look into doing that | 18:16 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: Im going to boot from then live cd now. Okay? | 18:16 |
| cboyer1951 | is this all logged?i'll copy/paste to noteditor | 18:16 |
| qetuR | GeekSquid: im not watching movies, im playing games. And I really want to see the whole screen. All of my friends who plug their TV into HDMI will get this scaling problem. | 18:16 |
| Lab | What the date for new ubuntu?! | 18:17 |
| qetuR | GeekSquid: I have Nvidia | 18:17 |
| GeekSquid | qetuR: and are you using nvidia-settings? | 18:17 |
| cboyer1951 | mine? 9.10 | 18:17 |
| cboyer1951 | 9.10 386 | 18:17 |
| cboyer1951 | yes, i upgraded the nvidia settings, which is good i have an amd nvidia motherboard | 18:18 |
| qetuR | GeekSquid: ye! | 18:18 |
| iggimin | If I installed gnome with "acpi=off" how can I fix the hardware functionality? Currently none of the function keys work, and the mouse often disappears | 18:18 |
| rautamiekka | Is initramfs mandatory as part of booting up Ubuntu 9.04-based systems ? | 18:18 |
| lenz | same problem | 18:18 |
| lenz | can't install nvidia driver on nvidia nforce 5200 | 18:19 |
| erUSUL | rautamiekka: yes; you need it at least for uuid's | 18:19 |
| lenz | the orogonal driver not installable | 18:19 |
| rautamiekka | Thank you, erUSUL | 18:19 |
| === Claws is now known as Guest18646 | ||
| lenz | and nvidia-glx - does not work | 18:19 |
| rautamiekka | lenz: one of my friends realized that the older nVidia drivers for Linux are blocked from working and the new ones don't work at all. | 18:20 |
| iggimin | Ubuntu wouldn't install at all unless I forced Grub to add "acpi=off" but now we can't even adjust screen brightness levels | 18:20 |
| cboyer1951 | so, I can mount ubuntu studio from livecd? and run it yes, but how to have that replace my existing new 386 ubuntu 9.10? | 18:20 |
| GeekSquid | qetuR: unfortunately, tv's and computers don't talk very well, what you need to do it really well is use a scaler ... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_scaler , they are a little expensive | 18:20 |
| lenz | rautamiekka, so it is some soluthion? | 18:21 |
| cboyer1951 | newbie here, is it possible to get a private window with someone who knows installation with ubuntu? | 18:23 |
| iggimin | any knowledge in here regarding "acpi=off" ? | 18:23 |
| iggimin | cboyer1951: what's up? | 18:24 |
| gui7 | i get an error while mounting a partition on an external hd: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist | 18:25 |
| arand | iggimin: acpi is pretty much hardware buttons and similar, so with no acpi, you won't get that interaction I'm afraid.. | 18:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | iggimin, it does make sense that screen brightness (a power management feature) wouldn't work with ACPI disabled - if you're unclear what ACPI is see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface | 18:26 |
| iggimin | Thanks guys - Ubuntu 9.10 would not install on the Toshiba laptop unless I had acpi=off - do you think there's a way to install on the thing without disabling acpi? | 18:27 |
| Lord-Readman | Is it possible to make the menu on the left and the right | 18:28 |
| iggimin | every time I loaded from the CD it displayed a LINUXVIDEO error and wouldn't go anywhere unless I set acpi=off | 18:28 |
| Lord-Readman | as its left in 10.04 | 18:28 |

| donavan01 | is anyone else having issues with flash ... doesnt always allow me to click on stuff ... any ideas? | 18:28 |
| iggimin | Is there possibly a different distro that might work better with that particular hardware? | 18:28 |
| Lord-Readman | iggimin, bios update? | 18:29 |
| === shai_ is now known as shai | ||
| iggimin | Lord-Readman, that's worth a try. I will look into it. The bummer is I recommended to a grandma this new Toshiba (her old Toshiba worked fine) but it won't take | 18:30 |
| iggimin | :( | 18:30 |
| iggimin | I will check the BIOS update and return | 18:30 |
| iggimin | Thanks! | 18:30 |
| Lord-Readman | iggimin, for one of my toshiba laptops there was an update for XP and update for vista, i put the highest version number on | 18:31 |
| Lord-Readman | and it made ubuntu work with it much better | 18:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | donavan01, for fix see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working | 18:32 |
| donavan01 | thanks zykotick9 | 18:33 |
| rautamiekka | Is it necessary to compile Profiling Support at all ? I can choose between DO NOT COMPILE, COMPILE AS MODULE, COMPILE DIRECTLY INTO KERNEL. It is an experimental feature.

| Samual | Hey I added an option to Nautilus Action Configuration (I already had one on before, this would be the second one) and when I have it enabled it causes Nautilus to segfault | 18:35 |
| Samual | I don't know why, anyone know? | 18:36 |
| [-Haza-] | So i rebooted and was thrown into a maintainence console (after trying to mount the OS and failing). I was told to run fsck so i did. And fixed a bunch of problems (Pressing Y when prompted) | 18:36 |
| DebiansArmy | Does anyone notice difference if they add 2 gig of ram from 1 gig with linux??? | 18:36 |
| [-Haza-] | And im back ijn the system with access to stuff (for now) | 18:36 |
| h00k | DebiansArmy: sure. | 18:36 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: i'm back too | 18:36 |
| [-Haza-] | Im going to take this opportunity to backup my stuff. afterwards i want to determine if the HDs are failing | 18:37 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: How might i go about that? | 18:37 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: And welcome back :) | 18:37 |
| rautamiekka | DebiansArmy: I haven't specifically tested but I dare to say it will be useful | 18:37 |

| Haegin | hi, anyone in here know about NIC bonding in ubuntu? Specifically whether you can bond accross two networks with different ip ranges? | 18:37 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: backup ? another hd (external or internal) is the best option | 18:38 |
| KB1JWQ | Haegin: That's not how bonding works. | 18:38 |
| erUSUL | Haegin: ^ | 18:38 |
| rautamiekka | Is it necessary to compile Profiling Support at all ? I can choose between DO NOT COMPILE, COMPILE AS MODULE, COMPILE DIRECTLY INTO KERNEL. It is an experimental feature. I went to read about OProfile but I dunno if it's necessary to compile even the Profiling Support since the whole point of Profiling is only useful to determine system performance. | 18:38 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: Yeah i have an external HD for back up that i can now access after that fsck i did | 18:38 |
| DebiansArmy | getting a gt 240 1gb ram gddr5 does this also make the system faster...??? | 18:38 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: then copy you iportant data to it (all your home for a start) | 18:39 |
| Haegin | KB1JWQ: ok, originally I had my server on our home network connected over gigabit with a wireless fallback that was used when it got unplugged (don't even ask why it gets unplugged... housemates) | 18:39 |
| h00k | !compilekernel | rautamiekka | 18:39 |
| ubottu | rautamiekka: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 18:39 |

| psilo2 | [-Haza-]: smartctl will you tell you about disk health if the drive is SMART-enabled. | 18:39 |
| erUSUL | !ipod | 18:39 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 18:39 |
| illsci | I've been googling around and haven't found any soluions | 18:39 |
| steffan | DebiansArmy: it doesn't neccasarily make the machine faster. if what you're doing now isn't taking up your current ram then you're not likely to see a vast improvement | 18:39 |
| Lord-Readman | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/ | 18:39 |
| steffan | DebiansArmy: as "you don't need it" | 18:39 |
| Haegin | then my housemate decided he wanted to try QoS so I'm on a different network to the wireless (which is outside the QoS bit as it still goes directly through the router) | 18:39 |
| iggimin | Lord-Readman, before you updated your BIOS on the Toshiba, did you have to use "acpi=off" ? | 18:39 |
| [-Haza-] | psilo2: I see. And i guess i can tell if the drive is smart enabled by running the tool? :) | 18:39 |
| Haegin | KB1JWQ: and now I'm trying to get my bonding working again accross both networks | 18:39 |
| psilo2 | [-Haza-]: right | 18:40 |
| Lord-Readman | iggimin, didnt try it because no linux worked | 18:40 |
| Lord-Readman | I put the latest bios on and then it installed fine | 18:40 |
| [-Haza-] | psilo2: Okay. Thank you | 18:40 |
| erUSUL | Haegin: bonding makes a single card out of two. a single card can only be on a network | 18:40 |

| erUSUL | rurti: ok it appends the string | 19:53 |
| jettek | I am using both linux and windows | 19:53 |
| guntbert | jettek: I'm not sure I understand what you want: you can start any VM with a script - but the host OS must be running of course | 19:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | jettek, i have no idea about vmware -- for VBox you might want to have a look at VBoxTool which claims to be able to do it http://vboxtool.sourceforge.net/ -- side note, this is the one feature I feel is SO missing from VBox | 19:53 |
| rurti | erUSUL: i believe that that appends them all together. Our contractor told us to do that. As for the PATH variable, what should i put there. | 19:53 |
| Curly_Q | Yes, but are you running a Windows box with Vmware? | 19:54 |

| jaypur | how can i connect nautilus to my server by ssh? | 19:59 |
| harisund | jaypur: Ubuntu? You could use Nautilus to "connect to server" | 20:00 |
| brjann | jaypur: use the "Connect to Server" dialog in the Places menu to connect to your server via ssh, and add it as a bookmark. that will allow you to browse the servers files through your client's nautilus windows. | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | Kafta: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo | 20:00 |
| jaypur | brjann, found it rite now | 20:00 |
| Smerdykov | I think ssh -X will let you do it | 20:00 |
| rurti | erUSUL: none of those files exist. thats why i put it in the .profile file. Also bash should be used it is just a default Ubuntu 8.4 LTS install. | 20:00 |
| GeekSquid | Kafta: to find out what your computer is capable of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' to find out what version you are running 'lsb_release -a' | 20:01 |
| jaypur | it needs ftp? | 20:01 |
| jaypur | brjann, | 20:01 |
| harisund | jaypur: You can choose SSH from the dropdown that currently says FTP | 20:01 |

| [-Haza-] | johnwedd: Im having the same problem today | 20:41 |
| [-Haza-] | weird eh? | 20:41 |
| johnwedd | raul_, i would suggest installing windows first, then use wubi | 20:41 |
| [-Haza-] | I also did fsck and was able to boot my system | 20:41 |
| Aeronius | raul_: I understand the best way to dual boot is to install windows first, then install Ubuntu, other way messes up the boot loader | 20:41 |

| raul_ | Aeronius but I don't wanna reinstall Ubuntu... | 20:43 |
| raul_ | I just wanna add windows to my HD | 20:43 |
| Out_Cold | raul_, use a virtual machine.. | 20:44 |
| datadigger | tim: Boot the live CD and repair from there with fsck man fsck for options | 20:44 |
| jmary | raul_, you migh install gparted et resize your partitions | 20:44 |
| Out_Cold | raul_, better than dual boot because you can run both at once | 20:44 |
| jmary | raul_, but you will have to reinstall grub after that. | 20:45 |
| tim | what does check disc for defects mean? | 20:45 |
| johnwedd | raul_, my experience has always been with from windows to linux or straight linux, not vice versa, sorry if i confused you | 20:45 |

| Out_Cold | cernenus, and when you connect the s-vid you run xrandr? | 20:51 |
| cernenus | yes, but it always says disconnected | 20:52 |

| KaOSoFt | Of course, Windows 7 offers better UAC management, but that's besides the point. | 21:01 |

| djchacon | Hello. Please help me: What do you press (keys) when Ubuntu gets frozen? I usually press Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows when something gets blocked !! | 21:02 |
| KaOSoFt | Ctrl + Alt + F7 | 21:02 |
| djchacon | Sometimes my Ubuntu desktop gets freezes | 21:02 |
| dude666 | Out_Cold: yeah but when i try grep &user,&pass it doesnt work | 21:02 |
| KaOSoFt | Wait... was it? | 21:02 |
| Desciero | guntbert: So there is no way to disable it then? | 21:02 |
| Desciero | guntbert: or is it just not recommended? | 21:02 |

| zcat[1] | Desciero, if you want to do 'stupid' things with linux that's always possible, but generally we won't help you. You need to change your mindeset and stop trying to make Linux work like WindowsXP | 21:03 |
| koshari | Desciero no there isnt, to install a package you will generally be writing to a folder with root ownership, there are ways around that but you really dont want to change the ownerships of wholesale root folders | 21:03 |
| guntbert | Desciero: no - its not mereley "not recommended" - its a strong nono - please take the advice of koshari and me - don't disable it | 21:03 |
| KaOSoFt | Desciero- You get used to it after a while. I was a Windows user too. :D | 21:04 |
| zcat[1] | Desciero, or just go back to WindowsXP if that's what you really want. | 21:04 |
| Desciero | ah ok | 21:04 |
| Out_Cold | KaOSoFt, passwords are your friends.... | 21:04 |
| Desciero | Just trying to learn is all | 21:04 |
| Out_Cold | sorry... Desciero | 21:04 |
| cobalt_ | Desciero, do you really need to install something that often | 21:04 |
| cobalt_ | i usually install multiple softwares at once | 21:05 |
| djchacon | Ctrl + Alt + F7 doesn work, I don't know why...I don \'t manage to close this application | 21:05 |
| koshari | Desciero tip, if you use synaptic to install your packages you ONLY need to enter the password once when starting synaptic and then you can install all the packages you want without needing to enter the password again. | 21:05 |
| Desciero | Does it only happen when installing something? Seems to come up a lot | 21:05 |
| Out_Cold | cobalt_, i manage about 8 ubuntu boxes and am constantly installing | 21:05 |
| Aeronius | is there an irssi command to get rid of all the join and leave messages? | 21:05 |
| cobalt_ | installing or changing global configurations | 21:05 |
| Desciero | koshari: thanks that's helpful | 21:05 |
| KaOSoFt | Desciero- When something should require "administrator" priviledges. | 21:05 |
| Desciero | gotcha | 21:05 |
| cernenus | not in the last few line but lists 3 vid devices | 21:05 |
| koshari | Desciero it will happen EVERYTIME you need to shange a file/folder with root ownership, | 21:05 |
| cernenus | one connected | 21:06 |
| guntbert | Desciero: it comes every time you do something that could potentially harm the system as a whole if you are not careful | 21:06 |
| cobalt_ | Desciero, sometimes working in terminal helps, if it can be done so | 21:06 |
| llutz | Aeronius: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS | 21:06 |
| zcat[1] | Desciero, generally you just install all the software you want in one go (you can do that, unlike windows where you have to isntall one thing at a time) and once everything is installed go back to being a nice safe 'user' .. you should be able to do all your normal 'user' stuff without ever needing sudo | 21:06 |
| Ten-Eight | djchacon: hit the power reset button and start over. | 21:06 |
| Aeronius | cool, how do I retoggle it when I'm ready to? | 21:06 |
| Desciero | I see | 21:06 |
| djchacon | is that the only way to unblock it? :-( | 21:06 |
| andybiker | djchacon sudo apt-get install x11utils to get xkill | 21:06 |
| Out_Cold | cernenus, unplug then plug in again and then check dmesg again | 21:06 |
| llutz | Aeronius: /help ignore | 21:06 |
| eraggo | llutz: thanks from my behalf too :) | 21:07 |
| andybiker | xkill very handy! | 21:07 |
| cobalt_ | Desciero, if it comes up too often you might be trying to do something the wrong way | 21:07 |
| Out_Cold | cernenus, if dmesg doesn't see it, then it quite possibly is not working in any sort | 21:07 |
| djchacon | andybiker: Thanks but I don't even manage to move out of this window | 21:07 |
| koshari | Desciero you have to remember that *nix systems were designed from the ground up as multiuser systems, and its not preferable for all account holders o have administrative permissions, | 21:07 |
| cobalt_ | like storing user files in root owned folders | 21:07 |
| Desciero | Other than that, what's the advantages of using the synaptic installer | 21:07 |
| andybiker | if you can opena terminal... | 21:07 |
| cobalt_ | what else there is? | 21:07 |
| KaOSoFt | Yeah, exactly. | 21:07 |
| Aeronius | llutz: thank you! | 21:08 |
| cobalt_ | Desciero, compared to what | 21:08 |
| Out_Cold | Desciero, you can search and install anything you want and it's all listed | 21:08 |
| zcat[1] | !apt | 21:08 |
| ubottu | 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) | 21:08 |
| koshari | Desciero: its intuitive, gui based and will automatically meed any dependedcys a package may have | 21:08 |
| cobalt_ | apt may be faster with multiple actions | 21:08 |
| djchacon | ANDYBIKER: I'll turn it off, then I'come back again and see again the line you said...See you in 3 minutes. | 21:08 |
| Ten-Eight | djchacon: if you're locked up cold and the keyboard method isn't working, yep, power off/reset is it. | 21:08 |
| cobalt_ | where you dont have to wait after each " turn" for gui to reload | 21:08 |
| cobalt_ | and refresh latest configuration | 21:08 |
| Desciero | I see.. | 21:08 |
| Aeronius | llutz: the help command isn't working | 21:08 |
| bullgard | Who would like to test video chat with me using Empathy? | 21:09 |
| Desciero | the other installer I was using separated into graphical categories like games, internet etc... | 21:09 |
| cobalt_ | hmm | 21:09 |
| llutz | Aeronius: then your irssi is broken | 21:09 |
| zcat[1] | Desciero, package management is GOOD, you should only ever install software that way (apt-get, add/remove, synaptic are all back-ends for the same system) -- packages are checked and signed so no malware, and when you update it will update all your software at the same time | 21:09 |
| guntbert | bullgard: thats off topic here | 21:09 |
| cobalt_ | software center? | 21:09 |
| cobalt_ | (i dont know exactly, my ubuntu is localised) | 21:09 |
| KaOSoFt | I mostly use apt-get, but if for some reason I have the Synaptic window open, I use that instead. | 21:09 |
| Desciero | colbalt_: I believe so | 21:09 |
| zcat[1] | Desciero, the software centre thing is a reduced version of synaptic.. it works the same way but less packages are listed there | 21:10 |
| cobalt_ | i think its just fancier frontend | 21:10 |
| cobalt_ | for beginners | 21:10 |
| andybiker | kpackagekit in kubuntu is hard work if you have a low powered machine! | 21:10 |
| KaOSoFt | Yep. | 21:10 |
| Desciero | zcat[1]: I see | 21:10 |
| cobalt_ | with more tips and helps | 21:10 |
| seanbrystone | Software Center is more Windows-like | 21:10 |
| cobalt_ | where synaptic is more straightforwars | 21:10 |
| Desciero | yeah | 21:10 |
| root | hello | 21:10 |
| Desciero | probably why I was drawn to it more | 21:10 |
| cobalt_ | hi | 21:10 |
| === root is now known as Guest46085 | ||
| Desciero | but I noticed the synaptic too | 21:11 |
| cobalt_ | root are you logged in as root? | 21:11 |
| djchacon | Hello Andybiker. Iḿ back | 21:11 |
| Desciero | Oh, I'm also having trouble getting to my root | 21:11 |
| bullgard | guntbert: It is not. I am using an Ubuntu program and would like to test it. The name of this channel is #ubuntu. | 21:11 |
| djchacon | Please give me again the line | 21:11 |
| cobalt_ | actually i havent ried the software center yet | 21:11 |
| cobalt_ | :D | 21:11 |
| andybiker | sudo apt-get install x11-utils | 21:11 |
| Desciero | it says I'm not in root when I try to reboot and such | 21:11 |
| koshari | !root | Desciero | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Desciero: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:11 |
| zcat[1] | Software Centre tries to only list 'applications', synaptic lists packages which included back end libraries, packages that contain datafiles or themes for other programs etc | 21:11 |
| === Guest46085 is now known as Eduardo2 | ||
| cobalt_ | thats weird | 21:11 |
| djchacon | what is it for? | 21:11 |
| guntbert | cobalt_: he probably is - thats why he is gone already :) | 21:11 |
| cobalt_ | gone? | 21:12 |
| KaOSoFt | By the way, if for some reason I forget my password, is there a way to reset it, much like Windows' SAM file? | 21:12 |
| andybiker | It'll give you some bits and pieces like xkill, ideal for stopping a frozen app | 21:12 |
| djchacon | ok | 21:12 |
| guntbert | bullgard: this channel is for ubuntu support - not for genera ubuntu related things - but there is #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:12 |
| zcat[1] | Getting a constant stream of these in /var/log/messages, which I think is why xsane can't probe for scanner.

| cobalt_ | btw what parameter makes terminal app pause when it fulls the screen | 21:12 |
| koshari | KaOSoFt chroot | 21:12 |
| andybiker | just make sure you use it on the same desktop! | 21:12 |
| andybiker | :) | 21:13 |
| Eduardo2 | Hello all | 21:13 |
| cobalt_ | e.g. if i do ps -e the process list dosnt fit in one terminal | 21:13 |
| brjann | salty-horse: because aptitude by default tries to fit its output to your terminal window | 21:13 |
| cobalt_ | it like it to pause at end of screen | 21:13 |
| cobalt_ | and continue output after keypress | 21:13 |
| guntbert | cobalt_: try ps -e | less | 21:13 |
| cobalt_ | | less | 21:13 |
| cobalt_ | does this work for all apps? | 21:13 |
| bullgard | guntbert: I am looking for Ubuntu support. I am not looking for general Ubuntu related things. | 21:13 |
| djchacon | Sorry, I don't understand. Is it something I have to run manually or is it already running and will run forever automatically? | 21:13 |
| salty-horse | brjann, and when the output isn't a tty it defaults to 80? | 21:14 |
| djchacon | (I already installed as you said) | 21:14 |
| guntbert | cobalt_: yes - on the command line | 21:14 |
| ASULutzy | KaOSoFt: You can always log in to a recovery console which will give you a root shell from which you can do whatever you want. A better idea would be to not forget your password ;) | 21:14 |
| cobalt_ | what is udev? | 21:14 |
| cobalt_ | i have a ton of them running | 21:14 |
| cobalt_ | could fill two full screens | 21:15 |
| andybiker | You run it when you need it and it will stop when you click on an application window, just don't click on the panel or the desktop by accident! | 21:15 |
| brjann | salty-horse: i'm not sure what it defaults to, but that seems reasonable | 21:15 |
| janisozaur | open source image manager with face detection? | 21:15 |
| salty-horse | brjann, ok. thanks for the answer! | 21:15 |
| KaOSoFt | ASULutzy- Do you mean I simply use the recover console, and then "passwd"? | 21:15 |
| guntbert | bullgard: asking people for connections outside of this channel is not ok here | 21:15 |
| salty-horse | janisozaur, there was a summer of code project for f-spot | 21:15 |
| brjann | salty-horse: sure thing. see the -F option in the aptitude man page for specifying custom output formats, and perhaps --disable-columns | 21:16 |
| djchacon | but how do I start it? | 21:16 |
| Xintruder | hi | 21:16 |
| salty-horse | janisozaur, http://www.pittle.org/weblog/f-spot-face-detection-2_433.html | 21:16 |
| ASULutzy | KaOSoFt: Yes. So when your grub menu comes up when you boot in, choose recovery console and then the passwd command will allow you to change any user's password. | 21:16 |
| KaOSoFt | Is recovery console available for everyone? I mean... isn't that even more dangerous that having to use an external tool for Windows in order to reset its SAM file...? | 21:17 |
| bullgard | guntbert: Yes it is if it is Ubuntu support. | 21:17 |
| zcat[1] | !grub2 | 21:17 |
| 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 | 21:17 |
| brjann | KaOSoFt: typically, if a user has physical access to your machine, it's more or less assumed that there's a way to root it | 21:18 |
| brjann | KaOSoFt: barring things like encrypted filesystems, etc | 21:18 |
| janisozaur | salty-horse: does it work by now? | 21:18 |
| KaOSoFt | I understand. After all, my computer is not a server, so it's not located in a remote (subterranean) data center or anything like that. | 21:18 |
| acr0nym | whenever I try to install python-libmimic I get this error: Package python-libmimic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 21:18 |
| ASULutzy | KaOSoFt: You're looking at it wrong. If you don't want someone with physical access to your machine to have access to it, you should look into encrypted file systems, and BIOS passwords etc | 21:18 |
| salty-horse | janisozaur, don't think so | 21:18 |
| KaOSoFt | Where can I learn more about these encrypted file-systems? I remember installing something like that for Ubuntu, which now gets the "Encryp" option by right-clicking a file or folder, but I don't even remember its name. | 21:20 |
| ahmedaak88 | how can i send files to messenger users using empathy | 21:20 |
| jaypur | sudo nice -20 ./program.... is it ok??? | 21:20 |
| KaOSoFt | "Encrypt"* | 21:20 |
| brjann | jaypur: only if you want that program to run as root and have priority over most everything else in the system | 21:20 |
| === goose is now known as goose[ME] | ||
| Jordan_U | KaOSoFt, Not including the option for user's with physical access to the machine to get to single user mode would just give a false sense of security. | 21:21 |
| jaypur | brjann, :) | 21:21 |
| Adien | anyone know how to get flash to stop flickering in and out is firefox 3.5.8 | 21:21 |
| ahmedaak88 | how can i send files to msn users using empathy | 21:21 |
| koshari | KaOSoFt you can restrict grub, but there is still a hole given you can boot from usb/optical media, so you would have to bios protect booting from these, but then again a bios reset would make them avaialble, moral of story, there is no such thing as total security when someone has physical acces sot machine, in windows or linux | 21:21 |
| janisozaur | salty-horse: are there perhaps any open source libraries that implement face detection? | 21:22 |
| === yusuf is now known as raiden | ||
| gasull | Hi. I was trying to install the latest VLC from Lucid in Karmic but stopped when I realized I needed to upgrade libc6. Now I have unmet dependencies because I installed the following packages with dpkg: libfribidi0_0.19.2-1_i386.deb and libqtcore4_4.6.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb. How can I remove them leaving the version that was in place before I f***ed up? Thanks. | 21:22 |
| brjann | janisozaur: opencv is one | 21:22 |
| ASULutzy | KaOSoFt: The last time I looked into it, it was more common to keep /home on a separate partition and then just encrypt that. This has the effect of encrypting all of the user's documents without encrypting the entire filesystem. I believe dmcrypt is a package you'd want to look into | 21:22 |
| salty-horse | janisozaur, opencv has tools for that | 21:22 |
| salty-horse | brjann, :) | 21:22 |
| janisozaur | brjann, salty-horse: thanks | 21:22 |
| brjann | salty-horse: i am too quick for you! :) | 21:23 |
| koshari | KaOSoFt which is why in entiprise all password authentication and account details are kept on a server | 21:23 |
| xangua | gasull: for latest vlc in karmic and other software try 'getdeb' | 21:23 |
| xangua | @google getdeb | 21:23 |
| ASULutzy | KaOSoFt: If it is a laptop, and you're worried about theft, it makes the most sense to encrypt /home, that way if your laptop is stolen, the thief won't be able to access things like saved browser passwords, and what not | 21:23 |

| linuxguy2009 | I'm trying to find a reliable way of making a service pack disk. Like download all current updates for a certain release such as my 9.04 that I have installed. Ive tried booting the live CD and starting synaptic, refresh the package list and mark all upgrades and then generate the download script and then go back to the HDD install and download them all and burn it. Only problem is that some packages are always missing that way. This req | 21:34 |
| linuxguy2009 | It would be like a 9.04-10.03 service pack disk. | 21:35 |

| trijntje | mespejel, I wouldn't know, it depends on what you want/need. Upgrading should be easy once it is released, but things can alway's go wrong | 22:09 |
| WierdAAR | GarmaZed, So no flash for 64-bit ? | 22:09 |
| GarmaZed | WierdAAR: but what success I did have in 64-bit Linux/Ubuntu (I'm not great at it), has been with what comes in Linux Mint | 22:09 |
| mespejel | trijntje: what you mean? why wrong? should i install all by scratch | 22:10 |
| GarmaZed | WierdAAR: it worked occassionally, but more often not. | 22:10 |
| mespejel | trijntje: you dont recommend just to upgrade? | 22:10 |

| KaOSoFt | For instance, the latest Linux kernel Ubuntu installed doesn't work for me. | 22:12 |
| GarmaZed | WierdAAR: nope, I bet the AMD64 processor works just as well with 32-bit. I'd be shocked if it didn't support 32-bit, I don't know of one that doesn't. | 22:13 |
| KaOSoFt | It screws up with my booting, and it will not load the X server. | 22:13 |
| Jabberjaw | ubuntu 64 problem is: there are too much applications that are not available in 64 bit, so you have to install ia32.libs to use 32 bit apps. ubuntu amd64 works not only on 64 bit amd system but also on 64 bit intel systems. | 22:13 |

| jai | hola | 22:14 |
| WierdAAR | GarmaZed, Well... Then I feel quite stupid for sticking with 64 bit.. I just had this idea that once i tried install 32 bit GNU/Linux it said that it didn't support my 64 bit processor | 22:14 |

| mehgahbleh | ifconfig | 22:16 |
| mehgahbleh | meh | 22:17 |
| KaOSoFt | Then I think you wouldn't have any real benefit if you had installed a 64-bit version. | 22:17 |
| GarmaZed | If your laptop only has 1GB of memory, then you shouldn't really consider 64 bit Ubuntu, or any 64bit OS, really. | 22:17 |
| KaOSoFt | Stick with 32-bit in meanwhile. | 22:17 |
| Jabberjaw | WierdAAR: a 64 bit OS can address more ram, 32 bit is limited to 3,2 GB ram, 64 bit can go far over that. installing a 32bit OS on a 64 bit system works but you simple do not use all functionality of the 64 bit processor. | 22:17 |

| WierdAAR | Jabberjaw, So there is no point in my having a 64-bit version of linux except that I have to search far and wide for certian packages? | 22:20 |

| Aeronius | eraggo: are you guessing? | 22:22 |
| Aeronius | I need something definitive before I use it | 22:22 |
| Jabberjaw | WierdAAR: if you have no 64 bit application that's only available in 64 bit, then I see no reason to switch , except, when you have more then 3,5GB ram , then a 64bit OS can use all the ram. but, most linux apps are still 32 bit and 32 bit on a 64 bit OS hmmm | 22:22 |
| jai | does pizza eraggo? | 22:22 |
| mespejel | VCoolio: i see.. so there is no date for an stable release? | 22:22 |

| === abransco is now known as Drooling_Sheep | ||
| Aeronius | unignore is a legit command? sweet | 22:23 |
| h00k | Jabberjaw: there is nothing wrong with running a 64bit version, even if you have less than 4gb ram. | 22:23 |
| VCoolio | mespejel: no date; don't ask for it in #e either if you don't want to get killed ;) but is coming | 22:23 |

For some reason it will only communicate to my headphones (and not my speakers) but it seems to be unable to communicate through the associated microphone jack. How can I fix this?

| bad_cables | ikonia, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FS3tpVEY | 22:32 |
| ikonia | bjj_blue: is it a cheap TV ? | 22:32 |
| bjj_blue | ikonia: worse. old. | 22:32 |
| ikonia | bjj_blue: is it a cheap brand ? | 22:32 |
| bjj_blue | ikonia: honestly, i don't know. It's an "advent". I got it second hand. | 22:32 |
| ikonia | bjj_blue: what happens if you type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 22:32 |
| bjj_blue | but i'd assume so | 22:32 |
| ikonia | bjj_blue: ok, so the most common situation would be it's advertising "false" information in terms of it's capabilities, so xorg is setting the wrong information, you may need to hardcode the resolution in the xorg.conf | 22:33 |
| Evet | how to avoid network manager to modify /etc/resolv.conf ? | 22:33 |
| bjj_blue | ikonia: not to question your judgement, but what does mounting /dev/sda1 have to do with that? | 22:33 |

| retr0xx | For GNOME...? | 22:34 |
| bjj_blue | ikonia: oh okay. so should i just try different resolutions or something (sorry, i know next to nothing about this). Also, it's a DVI/HDCP port on the tv, but that shouldn't matter since i'm only playing cleartext out of my ubuntu box, right? | 22:34 |
| bad_cables | ikonia, i tried it earlier and it did nothing... now it tells me to specify the FS type | 22:34 |
| retr0xx | A whole desktop environment? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | bad_cables: what file system is on it ? | 22:34 |
| bad_cables | ikonia, i cant remember the linux FS... ext3 i think | 22:34 |
| brontosaurusrex | any recommendations on a good book or urls for bash? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | bad_cables: ok - so "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 22:35 |
| ikonia | bjj_blue: exactly, in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf you may want to hardcode supported resolutions | 22:35 |

| bjj_blue | ikonia: great, thanks! last question. is this something where I *must* directly manipulate the xorg.conf file, or is this something I could do via the graphica Nvidia Xorg manager? | 22:36 |
| Samual | I think it should be fine | 22:36 |
| bjj_blue | *graphical | 22:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | jrib: thanks | 22:36 |
| Samual | Just making sure nothing depends on those other packages | 22:36 |

| red | bjj_blue: also, do you use a HDMI cable to connect to your television? some televisions have more than 1 HDMI port, and when so, the other one might be for DVD players and such, and when you plug a pc into such port there might be fuzzy image and a lot overscan | 22:48 |
| ikonia | bourke: yes, because that's in your PATH, however automake uses CC varible for it's gcc path | 22:48 |
| bjj_blue | red: no, i'm trying to do this via DVI | 22:48 |
| KB1JWQ | jrib: Thanks. | 22:48 |
| bourke | ikonia: ah ok. thanks a lot | 22:48 |
| bjj_blue | there's no HDMI cable. it's an older tv | 22:48 |
| red | aight | 22:48 |
| bjj_blue | red: actually, i think it's CRT based | 22:48 |
| red | well, good luck to getting good picture :) | 22:48 |
| progesterone | ikonia jrib Thanks dude. | 22:49 |
| jrib | Tharok: man X, see the GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS section | 22:49 |
| h00k | lullabud: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn I think is the one that will allow you to do that | 22:49 |

| Out_Cold | h00k, i know that, but without an IM | 22:49 |
| h00k | Out_Cold: I'm going to say with remote access, probably no. | 22:50 |
| lullabud | h00k: awesome, that was the one. many thanks | 22:50 |

| mr-grey2 | I installed Ubuntu on a drive while I had my windows drive hooked up. It seems to me that the GRUB installed something on the wndows drive for boot up and now I'm having issues. I can NOT set the booting sequence of both drives once I go into bios I either have to disable one or the other to get the drive I want to boot.

| mr-grey2 | If so I have no idea how to do that | 22:58 |
| [-Haza-] | mr-grey2: I think if you have installed windows AFTER linux then you will need to reinstall your grub | 22:59 |

| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 22:59 |

| devdz | plz How can I display in shell all .zip files that exist in my hard disk ?? | 23:00 |
| mr-grey2 | [-Haza-] Nah I already had a load of Windows before I installed Linux and what I did was decited to use Linux as my prmary OS so I pulled out my linux drive and put in a 500 gb drive and installed Linux on that. But my Windows drive is having issues now i'm wondering if GRUB dumped something that is causing problems | 23:00 |

| red | devdz: then find | grep *.zip | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | devdz: find / -name '*.zip' -print | 23:01 |
| Supermatt1000 | red will that let me change the color of the fonts though? | 23:01 |

| Lxndr | I recently did a full install of ubuntu on this computer. For some reason it will only communicate to my headphones (and not my speakers) but it seems to be unable to communicate through the associated microphone jack. How can I fix this? (It worked fine when this was a windows machine, so I suspect it's not hardware.) | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: ;P | 23:01 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: I love you too buddy :) | 23:02 |
| devdz | thanks guys :) | 23:02 |
| Supermatt1000 | red yes exactaly but only in facebook chat | 23:02 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: thx | 23:02 |
| mr-grey2 | Check this out.... After I have my new linux installed on the 500gb drive and it boots WITH my prior windows 7 drive installed I get the GRUB.. I checked windows7 load to boot and says does not exist. | 23:02 |
| erUSUL | [-Haza-]: but i'm in my way out for today ... ;P | 23:02 |
| Supermatt1000 | red could you send me a private message its easier for me to talk | 23:03 |
| [-Haza-] | erUSUL: Take it easy! | 23:03 |
| Out_Cold | Supermatt1000, i just figured out that facebook chat uses XMPP and is easy to turn on in pidgin | 23:03 |
| mr-grey2 | I'm thinking GRUB put something in my windows drive that is messing it up | 23:03 |
| mr-grey2 | because that was my primary drive. I had linux originally installed on a secondary | 23:04 |
| GeekSquid | Lxndr: there are some extra functions in the volume control you will need to enable ... goto applications>sound & Video>VolumeControl ... in preferences, see if speaker and headphone are checked ,,, other checkboxes do other things, try them out ... every machine is different, so I cannot provide specific instructions as to how to help you | 23:04 |
| mr-grey2 | and now I can't have both drives in bios to boot from I either have to choose one or the other so I can't go into linux and pull off information from my windows drive | 23:05 |
| Lxndr | GeekSquid: Everything IS checked and enabled. Oddly enough, it recognizes the microphone from my usb-enabled webcam, just not the microphone plugged into the mic jack (though it seems to acknowledge the jack exists) | 23:05 |
| mr-grey2 | I have to disable one drive to see the other in boot sequence and that is wild | 23:05 |

| sebsebseb | GeekSquid: oh with another name | 23:36 |
| brjann | PeterT: screen throws that error when permissions on /dev/ptmx aren't set correctly. it's owned by root:tty on my system, and has the same permission bits | 23:36 |
| PeterT | brjann: What do I do to fix it? | 23:36 |
| brjann | PeterT: so you might try sudo chown root:tty /dev/ptmx but if you've been randomly chowning devices in /dev to your unprivileged user, it's hard to say what will work and what won't | 23:37 |
| Adien | I've been trying to get sound working on Ubuntu 9.10 for three hours and nothing please can someone help | 23:37 |
| PeterT | brjann: As root? | 23:37 |
| serverduck | warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite | 23:37 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: log in as sudo user to do what brjann said | 23:37 |
| serverduck | what is this? | 23:37 |
| devdz | in which directory i can find mainly the sources of the programs that works by default with the distribution of ubuntu .. sorry for my simple questions im new with linux :) | 23:37 |
| PeterT | brjann: root@petert:/home# sudo chown root:tty /dev/ptmx | 23:38 |
| PeterT | sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 | 23:38 |
| PeterT | Segmentation fault | 23:38 |
| aouldr78 | what is default file for mail in Lucid? | 23:38 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: you were already root when you did that | 23:39 |
| brjann | PeterT: okay, now that's happening because your unpriviliged user owns the sudoers file, not root. i think your system is probably hosed at this point | 23:39 |
| PeterT | Hosed? | 23:39 |
| PeterT | You mean I'm fucked, I need to ask my person to re-do my system? | 23:39 |
| sebsebseb | !language | PeterT | 23:39 |
| ubottu | PeterT: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:39 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: relax ... i see a problem with your last terminal command ... try it without sudo | 23:39 |
| === ataru is now known as Guest72856 | ||
| PeterT | root@petert:/home# chown root:tty /dev/ptmx | 23:40 |
| PeterT | You have mail in /var/mail/root | 23:40 |
| PeterT | root@petert:/home# | 23:40 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: now try logging is as a new user and running screen | 23:40 |
| brjann | PeterT: potentially, yes. the user 'peter' should normally not own any files outside of those in /home/peter | 23:40 |
| aouldr78 | i just installed lucid and i am doing some at and cron practice but i do not have mail installed in my system. so where is the default file to find my mails? | 23:40 |
| sebsebseb | !lucid | aouldr78 | 23:41 |

| Typos_King | donavan01: I use xine-ui, comes with a pile of codecs, my videos plays fine in it | 23:49 |
| gilead | there's a heated discussion about 14-year old virgins over at #linux so I thought I'd bother you guys instead :) | 23:50 |
| J-new-to-u | im new to ubuntu and im trying to connect to a symantec box using kpvnc and racoon... im getting config parse errors and ive looked at alot of pages and ive googled the errors still nothing | 23:50 |
| gilead | the question is: how can I change base mouse speed (not acceleration) in X.org? I tried to set Resolution and Sensitivity in the mouse section but it didn't change anything. Actually at the end I changed mouse driver to 'blahblah' and it still worked o_O so I'm not even sure the mouse section is the right place. | 23:50 |
| PeterT | GeekSquid: tbh, I don't know see a difference | 23:50 |
| zenteno | hola | 23:50 |
| Typos_King | gilead: .... ahemm.... hehehl ok | 23:50 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: peter vs. root ... look again | 23:50 |
| zenteno | alguien habla español?? | 23:50 |
| zenteno | ??? | 23:50 |
| Typos_King | !es | zenteno | 23:51 |
| ubottu | zenteno: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 23:51 |
| PeterT | zenteno: #ubuntu-es | 23:51 |
| PeterT | GeekSquid: I should've run under root? | 23:51 |
| Lappie | ohh, i found it its was usr share backgrounds, but i over looked it somehow, ty | 23:51 |
| hexdump | Does anybody know of a channel that has programming support? | 23:51 |
| ilovethislinuxst | help | 23:51 |
| J-new-to-u | hahaha | 23:51 |
| mah2224 | hi guys, i can run an application from the alt-f2 thing, how can i make a shortcut/launcher? | 23:51 |
| J-new-to-u | thats how i feel too | 23:51 |
| brjann | !help | ilovethislinuxst | 23:51 |
| ubottu | ilovethislinuxst: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:51 |
| unop | hexdump, depends on the language you're programming in | 23:52 |
| ilovethislinuxst | what's nikserv | 23:52 |
| Typos_King | hexdump depends on the language you're after, usually channels address it per language :) | 23:52 |
| unop | hexdump, /j ##programming | 23:52 |
| J-new-to-u | ive looked all over the net and maybe i missed something but i cannot seem to get it connected | 23:52 |
| tony__ | what command can I use for open "login Windows preferences" | 23:52 |
| J-new-to-u | unless | 23:52 |
| mah2224 | hi guys, i can run an application from the alt-f2 thing, how can i make a shortcut/launcher? | 23:53 |

| ilovethislinuxst | can someone help me? | 23:53 |
| Typos_King | hexdump: then you may wnat to try #c++ :) | 23:53 |
| hexdump | I tried ##programming | 23:53 |

| hexdump | and that but hey np don't worry bout it | 23:53 |
| hexdump | thanks anyway though | 23:53 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: lemme break this down for you ... you modified dev and made it so your system is totally locked out from using local devices ... where it says peter on your system should be root (left column-owner) and peter (right column-group) should match my list | 23:53 |
| xbmc | do chooks like pumpkin? | 23:54 |
| J-new-to-u | then it connects all day and works which tells me its a config problem or a new to linux problem which is why im here | 23:54 |
| PeterT | GeekSquid: Is there a way to fix it? | 23:54 |
| Typos_King | J-new-to-u: I never got your original question | 23:54 |
| mah2224 | brjann: thank you, i've tried this, but i don't know what to put in the command field | 23:55 |
| ilovethislinuxst | i need to know how to remember my password for my nickname | 23:55 |

| tony__ | ??? | 23:55 |
| markdymek_ | anyone know the sound chipset in the HP pavillion dv7-3065 | 23:55 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | mah2224, it should show up in the menu after launching once , not always , sometimes it has to be added , them it can be added to the panel | 23:55 |
| brjann | mah2224: the command field is for the path to the binary you'd like to run. what are you trying to create a shortcut to? | 23:55 |
| mah2224 | its a program called lyx that i just installed | 23:56 |
| GeekSquid | PeterT: yes, see line 52 of your file that is the change we made ... before it would have said peter peter ... see the difference, but use my list as a guide | 23:56 |
| ilovethislinuxst | is there a help channel for nickserv? | 23:56 |
| mah2224 | i can run it by doing alt+f2 and simply typing in lyx | 23:56 |
| PeterT | GeekSquid: How do I fix it? | 23:56 |
| brjann | mah2224: right, that's the same thing you'd put in the command field | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | ilovethislinuxst: /nickserv help | 23:56 |
| ilovethislinuxst | ty | 23:56 |
| markdymek_ | anyone familar with HP pavillion dv7-3065? | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | ilovethislinuxst: you can always also try the ops channel at #freenode | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | ircops channel that is | 23:56 |
| mah2224 | this is what ive tried already, when i put that in the command field and execute the launcher, it gives me an error | 23:57 |
| Lxndr | I want to play nethack. I cannot find it in the package manager. Can anyone tell me where to get it? | 23:57 |
| mah2224 | would you like to know what the error says? i can try it again | 23:57 |
| J-new-to-u | im trying to connect to a vpn through linux.. ive read through all the webpages on racoon and kvpnc... but im getting racoon.conf parse errors and it kills my network connection... i have also tried strongswan to connect as well and it just wont do it... i can get it o connect in a vm windows xp all day... but i cant get it done in native ubuntu im goinfg freakin nuts.... been on this for over a week | 23:57 |
| brjann | PeterT: but it should be noted that /dev may not be the only folder on the disk that has this problem. the sudo error you received earlier was caused by peter owning /etc/sudoers. so this problem is likely not limited to /dev | 23:57 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | mah2224, did you install it with a package manager? | 23:57 |
| PeterT | Sigh... | 23:57 |
| mah2224 | no | 23:57 |
| trism | Lxndr: nethack-console or nethack-qt | 23:57 |
| PeterT | I'm going to format and reinstall then | 23:57 |
| Johnny1 | How can I turn off auto correction in ubuntu 9.10? | 23:57 |
| PeterT | Sorry to bother you | 23:57 |
| brjann | PeterT: that would be my recommendation, sorry :( | 23:58 |
| mah2224 | i had to compile it and do the ./configure and then make and then make install thing | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | mah2224, how did you install it/ | 23:58 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | ? | 23:58 |
| brjann | mah2224: oh. try /usr/local/bin/lyx then | 23:58 |
| Lxndr | trism: Netiher of those happens to be in the package manager. Where can i find either of those? | 23:58 |
| mah2224 | great, thanks, lets see | 23:58 |
| brjann | mah2224: for future reference, though, lyx is in the ubuntu repositories | 23:59 |
| trism | Lxndr: they are both in the universe repository | 23:59 |
| Desciero | I'm having trouble saving images via Firefox on ubuntu 9.10 | 23:59 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | mah2224, odd I have it in synaptic | 23:59 |
| Desciero | When I right click and hit save image, it saves a .html file instead. | 23:59 |
| Rahoul | hola zenteno | 23:59 |
