| ikonia | mark__: enough now | 00:02 |
| ikonia | mark__: help - ask a question, or be quiet please | 00:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, if you're interested in creating mvk or mp4 files check out Handbrake | 00:02 |
| abstrakt | ZykoticK9, ok, i'm interested in kind of an all purpose converter if there is such a thing | 00:03 |
| gaurav | when i pugin my headfone in karmic kola it doen't work | 00:03 |
| gaurav | how to make it work | 00:03 |
| ikonia | !sound | gaurav | 00:03 |
| ubottu | gaurav: 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 | 00:03 |
| abstrakt | ZykoticK9, and or just what exists out there that is like Handbrake for any and all other formats | 00:03 |
| bigtom21485 | howdy everyone | 00:03 |
| bigtom21485 | so i have the freq applet for my panel | 00:03 |
| ibuclaw | gaurav, check sound settings, 9 times out of 10 it's mute - and you don't realise it ;) | 00:03 |
| hetauma | hi! how can I change the location bar to the editable form by default? | 00:04 |
| jastor | bha :P even adobes own libflashplayer.so is messed up ;) | 00:04 |
| hetauma | on nautilus | 00:04 |
| bigtom21485 | but after i force it to run at full freq. manually it goes back to half freq. after a few minutes or if i open another application it decides it doesnt need that much computing power | 00:04 |
| bigtom21485 | i need to know how to force it do what its told not what it wants | 00:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, Handbrake doesn't do AVI anymore (it used to), you might want to have a look at winff (but due to a current bug it can't do mp4 with AAC audio) | 00:04 |
| bigtom21485 | i dont care baout battery life i have extra batteries | 00:04 |
| jasunto | any tonido users here? | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: ffmpeg | 00:04 |
| usr13 | bigtom21485: Try a curb bit. | 00:05 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ffmpeg will convert things? | 00:05 |
| greezmunkey | abstrakt, there is such a tool, can't think of the name now though :( | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: yes | 00:05 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, i actually am trying to get ffserver to work | 00:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, winff is a gui frontend to ffmpeg - it's really ffmpeg with the AAC bug | 00:05 |
| Superbest | what is a keepass2.x compatible password manager? | 00:05 |
| coiax | Is there a way of displaying all the uid on a system, using the Terminal? | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | bigtom21485: "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance" | 00:05 |
| bigtom21485 | urs13: what do you mean a curb bit? pardon my enthusiasm...in vista, windows scaling controller didnt do anything at all. at least with this i get something :-) | 00:05 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, i got ffserver running, and i just tried to send a video to the ffserver feed using ffmpeg but i got "Unsupported codec for output stream" http://ffmpeg.pastebin.com/XxVpmb9p | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | bigtom21485: stick that in /etc/rc.local (without the sudo) | 00:06 |
| usr13 | bigtom21485: Was only teasing. sorry. | 00:06 |
| usr13 | bad joke | 00:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, that's the AAC bug | 00:06 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, and i'm assuming it's obviously cuz the video i tried to send has a different codec than what ffserver is expecting | 00:06 |
| bigtom21485 | erUSUL: how do i do that? | 00:06 |
| ibuclaw | bigtom21485, tbh, the CPU will spend 90% of it's uptime life in idle mode - and force changing that may not be what you want. | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: to get mp3 support you have to install libmame | 00:06 |
| abstrakt | mame eh? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | bigtom21485: with a text editor | 00:06 |
| bigtom21485 | usr13: i love linux I hate windows | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | bigtom21485: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local | 00:07 |
| usr13 | bigtom21485: I'm quite a linux fan myself. | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: never used ffserver sorry | 00:07 |
| gaurav | what is my root password i nver set it how to get in that | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | !root | gaurav | 00:07 |
| ubottu | gaurav: 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 | 00:07 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, hmm i don't see libmame in synaptic, i've got mediubuntu installed | 00:07 |
| Superbest | um | 00:07 |
| Superbest | this is weird | 00:07 |
| Superbest | ubuntu just froze and only the xchat window is responding | 00:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, it was a type liblame | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | !info libmp3lame0 | 00:08 |
| abstrakt | ahh i've got liblame | 00:08 |
| ubottu | libmp3lame0 (source: lame): An MP3 encoding library. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.98.2+debian-0ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 245 kB, installed size 444 kB | 00:08 |
| Superbest | I can alt f2 | 00:08 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, yeah i've got libmp3lame already | 00:08 |
| Kalmi | Superbest, it is your window manager that froze | 00:08 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ZykoticK9, the file i just tried to send apparently is in mp2 for audio and mpeg1video for well... video | 00:08 |
| Superbest | Kalmi, oh... so how do I restart it? | 00:08 |
| Kalmi | Superbest, try: metacity --replace | 00:08 |
| abstrakt | is that still the AAC bug? | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: and what command line are you using ? | 00:09 |
| Superbest | Kalmi, that worked, thanks | 00:09 |
| Kalmi | yw | 00:09 |
| ibuclaw | those Xorg people should really bring back Ctrl+Alt+Backspace =) | 00:09 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, just ffmpeg -i foo.mpg http://myserver:8090/feed1.ffm | 00:09 |
| gaurav | how to use my headphone in karmic kola | 00:09 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, http://myserver:8090/stat.html reports that ffserver is up and running, awaiting a stream in the form of libx264 video and libmp3lame audio | 00:10 |
| ibuclaw | gaurav for second time, check sound settings, 9 times out of 10 it's mute - and you don't realise it ;) | 00:10 |
| abstrakt | or at least that's what i interpret the output of stat.html to mean :) | 00:10 |
| barcode | how do i take UNR off :( | 00:10 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, but the video i just tried to send with ffmpeg is as i said mp2 audio and mpeg1video video | 00:11 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: then convert the source file first to that codecs | 00:11 |
| gaurav | i check waht setting i used help me ibuclaw | 00:11 |
| gaurav | plz | 00:11 |
| ibuclaw | barcode, the window manager? | 00:11 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, yeah i figured, so i should use ffmpeg to do that conversion? | 00:11 |
| barcode | ibuclaw yes sir | 00:11 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, can you give me an example command line invocation to do that? | 00:11 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: yeah why not | 00:11 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, well i don't know why not, which is why i ask :) | 00:12 |
| ibuclaw | barcode, iirc, the packages you need removing are: netbook-launcher, maximus and mutter/clutter. | 00:12 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: ffmpeg -i file.mpeg -vcodec x264 -acodec mp3 file.avi | 00:13 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ok thanks | 00:13 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: i dunno if the video codec name is correct see the output of ffmpeg -formats | 00:13 |
| ibuclaw | barcode, then replace them with: gnome-panel, metacity, compiz | 00:13 |
| abstrakt | k | 00:13 |
| barcode | ibuclaw instead of removing them is there a way i can "switch" from the original gnome to UNR and back? | 00:13 |
| ibuclaw | barcode, open up gconf-editor | 00:14 |
| barcode | ibuclaw alright | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: is h264 | 00:14 |
| abstrakt | ok | 00:14 |
| ibuclaw | barcode, then browser to /desktop/gnome/session/required_components | 00:15 |
| === Guest81248 is now known as _Elden | ||

| Kalmi | ibuclaw, ok... nothing | 00:16 |
| Kalmi | :) | 00:16 |
| gaurav | can i set password for particular files or folder | 00:17 |
| phiberoptik192 | you wont be able to remove that stuff, just leave it there | 00:17 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ffmpeg -i Into\ The\ Wild.mpg -vcodec h264 -acodec mp3 into_the_wild.avi reports "Unknown encoder h264" | 00:17 |

| gaurav | how can i run java program in karmic kola | 00:22 |
| Jules | it | 00:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | DrDank, don't use sudo for that! and the command to use compiz is "compiz --replace" | 00:22 |
| DrDank | ooooh.. that could be the problem. | 00:22 |
| Kalmi | barcode, press Alt+f2 and enter this: metacity --replace | 00:22 |
| dj_segfault | gaurav: Do you have java installed? | 00:23 |
| DrDank | ZykoticK9: im still just learning. this is maybe my 5th hour inside ubuntu. | 00:23 |
| DrDank | lemme try that. | 00:23 |
| gaurav | ya dj i installed that | 00:23 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | DrDank, only use sudo when absolutely necessary. Otherwise use gksudo or something similar. | 00:23 |
| DrDank | Uhm, it says instance is already running.. | 00:23 |
| DrDank | any suggestions? | 00:23 |
| DrDank | but my effects arent working or anything | 00:23 |

| noobtastic | Hey all, I am in need of help finding a way to manually control fan speeds on my Dell Inspiron 1545. My fans won't run at all when Ubuntu loads, which is causing correspondingly high CPU temps (50-60C). However, the fans will run when I first power the laptop on, but right after POSTing and when Ubuntu begins to load they all shut off. I have tried using Gkrellm with the Dell I8k plugin, I8kmon on its own, and have tried googling a sol | 00:24 |
| noobtastic | ution to this problem without success. My BIOS does not offer options to alter fan speeds, but it does offer an option to force the CPU to run on low performance settings - which I have used in an effort to stem high temps. | 00:24 |
| noobtastic | My CPU is an Intel Centrino 2 P8700 at 2.53 GHz. All settings are stock (no overclocks of any kind, rather, I have underclocked it). I am running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. | 00:24 |
| FloodBot4 | noobtastic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:24 |

| barcode | screw it, im a simple man ill just keep using fluxbox :'( | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | fluxbox is handy | 00:26 |
| psusi | noobtastic, try installing the lm-sensors package and see if that sees the fan controllers? | 00:26 |
| DrDank | well I think i mighta figured it out. I just checked my apperance settings.. some how they got reset to NONE instead of Advanced. | 00:27 |
| noobtastic | I have, and it doesn't see anything sadly | 00:27 |
| DrDank | its working now.. lol | 00:27 |

| noobtastic | Nope | 00:27 |
| psusi | noobtastic, ohh, that's a problem | 00:28 |
| acicula | fluxbox doesnt do icons, needs extra programs to do that | 00:28 |
| * barcode :'( | 00:28 | |
| acicula | on the desktopi mean | 00:28 |
| acicula | well its a minimalistic wm, what did you expect | 00:28 |
| barcode | so fluxbox != desktop icons? | 00:28 |
| noobtastic | I'll try again to make sure | 00:28 |
| acicula | well the file icons you see in ubuntu are managed by nautilus | 00:29 |
| histo | barcode: there are ways to get icons you just have to run that app on start | 00:29 |
| acicula | but getting icons in fluxbox will require some effort yeah | 00:29 |

| emxer | rpgsimmas | 00:38 |
| emxer | hello | 00:38 |
| emxer | I can help ypu | 00:38 |
| nightsjammies | I'm having trouble getting just the eeebuntu .iso. | 00:38 |
| erin | ... | 00:38 |
| erin | what options? | 00:38 |
| erin | should i set?> | 00:38 |
| emxer | You need install the grub | 00:38 |
| rpgsimmaster | ...emxer: My problem is a little bit more complex than that | 00:39 |
| nightsjammies | I'm trying to d/l it in windows, and I keep getting the wubi installer or some crap like that..any help? | 00:39 |
| emxer | tall me | 00:39 |
| zetheroo | so it seems that Karmic does not update automatically anymore - true? | 00:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | However... | 00:39 |
| acicula | zetheroo: false? | 00:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | just reading Wubi troubleshooting guide | 00:39 |
| LADmaticCA | is there a way to see my own avatar in a pidgin conversation window? | 00:39 |
| erin | errgh | 00:39 |
| rpgsimmaster | My question is also: how on earth does a system freeze obliterate my ability to boot ubuntu? | 00:40 |
| emxer | Your OS crashed? | 00:40 |
| barcode | i have to handtype everything for idesk? :( | 00:40 |
| zetheroo | acicula: 2 people here ... using Karmic ... never get notified of available updates | 00:40 |
| acicula | zetheroo: there are some patches to fix problems, but not new software versions if thats what you meant | 00:40 |
| rpgsimmaster | emxer: I was running synaptic, it was *only* downloading packages, my system halted (scroll/caps lock both flashing), when I rebooted no more ubuntu... :( | 00:40 |
| hgri891 | ubuntu not like dell optiplex 260 lol so i had to come to a new machine | 00:40 |
| acicula | zetheroo: check software sources if its set to periodically check for updates, and that the mirror these are fetched from work | 00:40 |
| emxer | ok | 00:40 |
| emxer | in the grub line | 00:40 |
| noobtastic | rpgimmaster - where you updating? My brother's PC became unusable when his updates froze | 00:40 |
| zetheroo | acicula: all checked and all good to go | 00:40 |
| emxer | wirte | 00:41 |
| msur | hello | 00:41 |
| acicula | zetheroo: try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade in a console | 00:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | !enter > emxer | 00:41 |
| ubottu | emxer, please see my private message | 00:41 |
| nightsjammies | Does anyone know where I pick up the .iso without having to use the wubi thing | 00:41 |
| acicula | zetheroo: oh with the sudo | 00:41 |
| emxer | ok | 00:41 |
| emxer | whait | 00:41 |
| Flannel | rpgsimmaster: wubi is unfortunately less robust as a system than a regular install. The whole system is wrapped up into a few monolithic files, which means its easier to screw up, etc. (That said, I have no idea how easy or difficult it will be to fix it) | 00:41 |
| erin | and it wipes it when it dont work bravo weechat bravo. all my hard work.. | 00:42 |
| erin | gone! | 00:42 |
| boodroscotch | Hi guys. I have a bit of a major problem here. i recently reinstalled Windows 7, and it knocked GRUB2 out as the main bootloader and put the default as NTLDR instead. | 00:42 |
| zetheroo | acicula: that is not the issue ... updates come in when you manually request them ... the issue is with being notified that there are avaialble updates automatically | 00:42 |
| Nickalai | rpg, i think it was a case of package corruption while installing | 00:42 |
| rpgsimmaster | Flannel: I was afraid of that; normally I run a standard Ubuntu install, but I've had to use a Wubi install in the last few days... unfortunately it would appear that it didn't like me doing that :P | 00:42 |
| hgri891 | anyone no much about intel raid on an ich9r controlers? | 00:42 |
| boodroscotch | as a result i have a non-bootable Ubunut 9.10 partition | 00:42 |
| acicula | !dualboot | boodroscotch | 00:42 |

| rpgsimmaster | Nickalai: I would've suspected that, EXCEPT that it wasn't actually installing - it was still downloading | 00:42 |
| rpgsimmaster | Nickalai: Oh wait, I see what you mean | 00:42 |
| acicula | boodroscotch: look at the urls from ubottu, theres a guide on recovering grub there | 00:42 |
| acicula | zetheroo: im checking to see if its not fetching updates | 00:43 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | boodroscotch | 00:43 |
| ubottu | boodroscotch: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 00:43 |
| lucid_interval | rpgsimmaster: that should not have happened, and sounds as strange to me as it does to you. It could be a coincidence, with some hardware / kernel error occurring at the same time. In my experience, the vast majority of such hard freezes have been due to kernel issues or hardware issues. | 00:43 |
| boodroscotch | acicula: thanks a bunch. downloading the ISO right now ;D | 00:43 |
| Nickalai | hmmm. thatz interesting, thats a nice problem youve come across | 00:43 |
| rpgsimmaster | Nickalai, lucid_interval: I've encountered such freezes before, usually related to running compiz... HOWEVER, they've never obliterated my ability to reboot before | 00:44 |

| rpgsimmaster | Nickalai, lucid_interval: I suspect my occassional freezes occur as a result of corrupted graphics memory in my system somewhere... but that still doesn't explain the inability to boot | 00:45 |
| hgri891 | A client of mine has a computer assembled by NEC and they have set up the 2 500 gig hard drives into a raid and it is now broken, i looked online and found that it could have been caused by an external hard drive being plugged in before the machine was started so the raid controler tries to use the external hard drive as part of the raid and ignore the internal one which of couse lead to a failed raid | 00:45 |
| hgri891 | now when the drive is unplugged the reaid does not repair | 00:45 |
| Nickalai | no it definitly doesnt | 00:45 |
| lucid_interval | rpgsimmaster: also correct. I misread your orig post. Ability to REBOOT should not be affected. Only changes to installed kernel(s), bootloader and/or other (rare) low-levelc hanges, such as busybox, init, libc should affect ability to reboot. | 00:45 |
| hgri891 | is there a way to gue this raid back together with ubuntu software raid | 00:45 |
| zetheroo | acicula: Update Manager works when it's manually triggered to fetch updates ... that is fine ... but I have never gotten a notification telling me that updates are available ... as I did in previous releases of Ubuntu | 00:45 |
| hgri891 | it is a stripe raid | 00:46 |
| rpgsimmaster | The only hard drive writes that were happening were packages being saved to the hard drive... which makes this whole situation very weird | 00:46 |
| rpgsimmaster | nvm, I'll start by mounting the Wubi partition, and seeing what I've ended up with | 00:46 |
| acicula | zetheroo: is it set to automatically install updates? | 00:47 |
| acicula | zetheroo: does running apt-get upgrade result in packages being suggested for installation? | 00:47 |
| lucid_interval | rpgsimmaster: the only thing that comes to my feeble mind is th epossibility that some low-level graphics driver is grabbing the PCI/PCI-E bus and a "warm" reboot does not reset that. Can you (i know it takes a long time) try to differentiate between warm reboot and cold reboot (turn off, pull power cord out and try again)? | 00:47 |
| LADmaticCA | is there a way to see my own avatar in a pidgin conversation window? | 00:47 |
| rpgsimmaster | !!! question... the Wubi disk files are normally contained in C:\ubuntu\disks\... aren't they? | 00:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:48 |
| hgri891 | anyone? | 00:48 |
| rpgsimmaster | I would appear to have a serious problem | 00:49 |
| rpgsimmaster | I just went into that directory - the folder 'disks' was listed | 00:49 |
| rpgsimmaster | I clicked on it | 00:49 |
| rpgsimmaster | it errored out | 00:49 |

| usr13 | boscop: sudo fdisk -l | 00:50 |
| zetheroo | acicula: it is set to check daily for updates and to notify about available updates | 00:50 |
| kostkon | zetheroo, yes, now the update manager window pops up once a week for regular updates or every time there are secuirty updates. and there isn't a tray icon anymore. | 00:51 |
| zetheroo | kostkon: oh ok ... | 00:51 |
| rpgsimmaster | lucid_interval: any idea why my wubi disks file, and the disks folder might be pulling arbitrary vanishing acts? | 00:51 |
| zetheroo | kostkon: that would make sense ... I probably get around to manually checking for updates before the scheduled weekly time came | 00:52 |
| rpgsimmaster | especially when they appear one moment, then disappear when I click on them? | 00:52 |
| boscop | usr13: http://pastebin.com/61aqW80n | 00:52 |

| Ceidru_Gothly | Hullo, Ubuntu-people. I am setting up a new machine under 8.04 and I'm trying to get it to share a few folders with anther running 9.10. Both are 32-bit and on the same network. I've tried the SMB approach as the 9.10 was already set up to talk to a windows box on the network, but the 8.04 seems unable to get the shares list. I also tried ssh but the 8.04 tries for a half-minute and then reports a timeout. | 00:52 |
| phillw_ | hgri89, as we have no idea of how the RAID was put together, your 1st port of call will be NEC | 00:52 |
| zetheroo | kostkon: no worriers ... that is what I was wondering ... if something like that changed ... ;) | 00:52 |

| phillw_ | dlynes, pre-seeding ? | 00:57 |
| boscop | usr13: sure | 00:58 |
| usr13 | boscop: Try a different USB port. | 00:58 |
| xiven | This may turn out to be a stupid question, however...I would like to remove a package using apt-get. However, when I try to do so, it prompts for the removal of a related package. Is there a directive I can use to instruct the aptitude system to remove ONLY the package I am specifying? | 00:58 |
| dlynes | phillw_, yeah | 00:58 |
| xiven | The package to remove is usplash-ubuntustudio-theme, but it always wants to remove ubuntustudio-desktop. | 00:58 |
| dlynes | phillw_, to automate the install | 00:59 |
| boscop | usr13: didn't help! | 00:59 |
| Ceidru_Gothly | The desktop thing is usually just a meta-package. | 00:59 |
| dlynes | phillw_, i'm guessing you've never done preseeding, if you're asking that? | 00:59 |
| usr13 | boscop: What type of device is it? | 00:59 |
| dlynes | phillw_, it's like kickstart files, but you can fine tune it more than kickstart files | 00:59 |
| boscop | usr13: a simple 1 GB flash drive | 01:00 |
| phillw_ | dlynes, if u pop over to #ubuntu-beginners it's a) quieter b) more of us than questions | 01:00 |
| xiven | Well still, is there a way to tell it remove ONLY the specified package? | 01:00 |
| Predaking | I have 3 questions. What's the best way to get a vnc server to startup with ubuntu? NFS mounts in fstab sometimes don't mount unless I type mount -a. This is not ideal. What's the best way to correct this? I use nvidia drivers. The resolution resets upon reboot. I use nvidia control panel to get things setup correctly. Copy the configuration to my xorg.conf file but it still resets the resolution on reboot. Any ideas why? | 01:00 |
| xiven | I wouldn't even be removing it, if it would display correctly. | 01:00 |
| usr13 | boscop: make & model? | 01:00 |
| xiven | In fact, hold up..maybe the ubuntustudio developers can help me out with that. | 01:00 |
| boscop | usr13: no info on it about that, I got it from a company | 01:01 |
| hgri891 | im there now | 01:01 |
| hgri891 | sorry pigin had a hicough with the ammount of rooms in the list | 01:01 |
| usr13 | boscop: lsusb | 01:01 |
| phillw_ | dlynes, you can configure up the installation system anyway you want - this is used for sys-adminisatrators, but you have noe said how you want the script doing for you circunmstance. | 01:02 |
| usr13 | boscop: and ... unlug it and plug it back in while watching tail -f /var/log/messages | 01:02 |

| haakon__ | jastor: Weird, I have no idea. What does Synaptic do? Does it throw a fit as well? | 01:13 |

| stygian | though i dont know its syntax | 01:13 |
| jastor | haakon__: ill check.. | 01:13 |
| haakon__ | Guest, I'd sugest you run "gksudo nautilus" and browse to the file, and right clicking it, and from there select properties. | 01:13 |
| haakon__ | The best way I can think of, if you need to take ownership of a file at least. | 01:14 |

| Guest69794 | I tried editing the properties, but it says I'm not the owner, I think that might be because I installed windows vista first | 01:14 |
| xiven | That error seems to be caused randomly | 01:14 |
| haakon__ | Guest: That's not it. ;) | 01:14 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom, check for new drivers in the download center | 01:14 |
| pedro3005 | Guest69794, what file is that? | 01:14 |
| cafuego | Note that ownership on a windows disk doesn't work like that | 01:14 |

| xiven | I have to use VBox Graphics Driver | 01:15 |
| bigtom21485 | guest69794: the download center? wheres that? | 01:15 |
| Guest69794 | haakon, what do I try next then? | 01:15 |
| pedro3005 | Guest69794, yes, as cafuego says, the file has to be on a linux partition | 01:15 |

| Aaronneyer | Hey guys, does anyone think they can help me out with a problem I'm having installing Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| dlvr | Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? | 01:16 |
| haakon__ | The most likely reason would be that you're not the owner of the file. Root however can change the owner of any file, so in order to take control of a file you don't own, you have to elevate to root first. Graphically, you can just use nautilus, run it from a terminal or from <alt> + F2 with the line "gksudo nautilus" | 01:16 |
| cafuego | Guest69794: If you need to be the owner of a file on a windows file system you'll need to play with the mount options for that partition. usually set the gid and fmask/dmask options. | 01:16 |

| bigtom21485 | guest 69794: how do i get my cpu to run at 2GHz all the time? i have athe ubuntu freq applet on my panel, and it has an option for running 2GHz, but it ignores my command to do so, and even in performance it doesnt go there very often which aggrivates me because i dont want a 1ghz computer i want a 2ghz computer | 01:17 |
| haakon__ | for launching nautilus in sudo mode? sudo nautilus. Otherwise, as cafuego has mentioned, you can use sudo chown username filename | 01:18 |
| jastor | haakon__: GNOME! openjdk ... python .. xbmc .. various other stuff | 01:18 |
| Aaronneyer | Anyone think they can help me out? Here's my issue. | 01:18 |
| Aaronneyer | I downloaded Ubuntu, burned it on a disc, and then installed it within windows. It gets through fine and then it gets to where it needs to restart. I restart, select Ubuntu from the OS's, and after a bit of text and the Ubuntu symbol, I get a black screen. | 01:18 |
| xiven | Blue1, all you need to do is boot up using a live cd, use the shell to mount the parition with ubunty and run update-grub on it | 01:18 |
| jastor | haakon__: i know theese programs doesnt require the package im trying to uninstall :) because they worked perfectly fine before that .. | 01:18 |
| haakon__ | If it's in a windows partition (NTFS) you'd have to change your mount options, which I don't know how to do. | 01:18 |
| steven_ | pedro3005: the stie you told me to go to help out but one thing i donot have a blue run bottem to hit | 01:18 |
| boscop | I get an error: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" although it's not in use. I just killed apt because I need it to install gparted. how can I unlock that file? | 01:18 |
| Guest69794 | Bigtom, I have no idea, sorry. I just had a hunch you had the same problem as me because I just updated yesterday and my internet drivers weren't working and thats how I fixed mine | 01:18 |
| Blue1 | xiven: ahh sounds easy | 01:18 |
| xiven | Although, you may need to run grub-install on the windows partition so it is in the MBR. | 01:18 |
| haakon__ | What package ARE you trying to uninstall jastor? | 01:18 |
| jastor | haakon__: exim4 | 01:19 |
| pkbest | any combat games other than quake? | 01:19 |
| pkbest | like America's Army | 01:19 |
| dlvr | you know of cgywin? | 01:19 |
| pkbest | or BF2 | 01:19 |
| phillw_ | haakon__, for launching any GUI programme, use gksudo, not sudo - you can screw things up big time | 01:19 |
| xiven | Although, that will cause the windows boot loader to come AFTER the GRUB loader | 01:19 |
| dlvr | orwhatever it's called now | 01:19 |
| haakon__ | Sorry, man, I don't know how to do that. | 01:19 |
| haakon__ | sudo from the terminal have always worked for me? | 01:19 |
| b2p1mp | dlvr: why cygwin? | 01:19 |
| xiven | Or, you could just modify boot.ini in Windows to have the option to boot the Ubuntu OS | 01:19 |
| pedro3005 | steven_, what does it say? | 01:19 |
| xiven | Although, boot.ini doesn't make a bit of sense if you don't know what you're looking at. | 01:19 |
| dlvr | because i'm mistaken lol | 01:19 |
| b2p1mp | hmm | 01:19 |
| bpocock | hello... having an issue with 9.10. it seems my F row functionality is inverted. Hitting F1 tries to connect to a projector, and hitting <function>+F1 uses the intended function of F1 for a program... is there a way to fix this? | 01:20 |
| pwebster25 | I have had evolution with exchange-mapi and a bunch of -dev parts installed for evolution because of a crazy mapi setup at work. I finally am able to connect to exchange normally again, so I got rid of the buggy mapi and other dev apps in synaptic. However, now, when I open evolution it insists on restoring from a backup. It gets to the "evolution setup assistant" I want to setup a new account but it forces me to choose a backup file | 01:20 |
| Blue1 | xiven: so the update-grub will only access mounted hdd's is that how it works? | 01:20 |
| steven_ | pedro3005: what dose what say ? the downloader or the site | 01:20 |
| dlvr | transgaming is what i meant to say | 01:20 |
| pedro3005 | steven_, both | 01:20 |
| pedro3005 | are you getting an error and what step are you at? | 01:20 |
| xiven | I think it will work with non-mounted device's too..but I don't remember how to tell you to do that lol | 01:21 |
| jastor | haakon__: ohwell .. but regardless of what i want to uninstall .. is it possible to uninstall just the exact stuff i type after remove? without apt worrying about replacements or dependencies? | 01:21 |
| haakon__ | Seriously, why is sudo from a terminal bad, except you don't get the neat graphical box, and also, I did mean to use gksudo in my type. | 01:21 |
| xiven | The easiest way for me has always been boot a linux live cd | 01:21 |
| bigtom21485 | Guest69794: I tried pulseaudio and that doesnt seem to work either how to i make sure its actually enabled? | 01:21 |
| haakon__ | jastor: I don't know. I'm not an expert. | 01:21 |
| dlvr | Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? | 01:21 |
| jastor | haakon__: ok | 01:21 |
| haakon__ | guest: Have you tried to open a terminal, and use alsamixer? | 01:21 |
| Guest69794 | haakon! thank you soo much! | 01:21 |
| pedro3005 | haakon__, it's something about the user | 01:21 |

| phillw_ | Blue1, easy way to get control over a dual boot system --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 | 01:21 |
| xiven | And use the shell to mount the ubuntu parition, then chroot to it, and run update-grub, or grub-install if its not in the Windows MBR yet. | 01:21 |
| b2p1mp | Blue1: teh update-grub checks for boot files on partitions | 01:21 |

| Blue1 | b2p1mp: thanks | 01:22 |
| fabio333 | diogo_79: crossover | 01:22 |
| haakon__ | That was what I had to do to get my HDMI cable to transmit sound at least. | 01:22 |
| pedro3005 | haakon__, but there is a reason as to why you shouldn't use sudo for graphical applications | 01:22 |
| bigtom21485 | when i go to sound preferences and i go to hardware theres nothing listed | 01:22 |
| b2p1mp | gksudo? | 01:22 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom | 01:22 |
| dlvr | diogo_79: seamless mode in vbox or vmware | 01:22 |
| steven_ | pedro3005: he to let you know ok this is what it says on my down load ok dndsetup.exe | 01:22 |
| haakon__ | I'm not doubting you pedro, I just wondered if you remembered what it was. | 01:22 |
| haakon__ | I can always google myself... ;) | 01:22 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom download both hardware drivers | 01:22 |
| pedro3005 | haakon__, it's on the UF somewhere | 01:22 |
| phillw_ | diogo_79, yeah, but you have to pay for it & the votes are out as to if it is better than wine - why not make the free on better ? | 01:22 |
| Guest69794 | just search in the software center hardware managers | 01:23 |
| fabio333 | cedega also is a wine stuff | 01:23 |
| haakon__ | cedega is the paid for version of wine or something wasn't it? | 01:23 |
| phillw_ | @ pedro3005 you should not use sudo for graphical stuff !!! | 01:23 |
| pkbest | i thought cedega is no longer supported? | 01:23 |
| pkbest | I use play on linux | 01:23 |
| pedro3005 | phillw_, yes | 01:23 |
| haakon__ | playonlinux is a wrapper for wine though. | 01:23 |
| phillw_ | gksudo !!!! | 01:24 |
| pkbest | what game are you trying to play?] | 01:24 |
| jastor | cedega .. heh .. they wanted to get paid .. and in thoose games i tried in them, some even worked better in wine ;) | 01:24 |
| haakon__ | It just adds options automatically. It's neat and good, but I prefer to do it myself. | 01:24 |
| fabio333 | pkbest: try open transport tycoon deluxe | 01:24 |
| diogo_79 | application virtualization | 01:24 |
| Guest69794 | haakon, one more thing. how do you change the login box in the startup screen? I was able to change the background but not the box itself. | 01:24 |
| diogo_79 | any tips on free produt | 01:24 |
| pkbest | fabio333, what? | 01:24 |
| haakon__ | guest: I don't know. | 01:24 |
| pkbest | fabio333, why try to open it? | 01:24 |
| haakon__ | Sorry, I've never had that wish. | 01:24 |
| fabio333 | openttd best game on linux | 01:24 |
| haakon__ | The best game on linux is Mines | 01:24 |
| dlvr | diogo_79: virtual box is free | 01:24 |
| jastor | diogo_79: yes theres an alternative .. virtualbox and windows ;) | 01:24 |
| haakon__ | Or maybe kSokoban. | 01:24 |
| Guest69794 | thanks, haakon | 01:25 |
| fabio333 | haakon__: nope is openttd | 01:25 |
| pkbest | i want to find a good combat game.. sorta liek combat arms | 01:25 |
| pkbest | or america's army | 01:25 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom, any luck? | 01:25 |
| haakon__ | fabio333: You're a heathen! >:( ;) | 01:25 |
| xiven | Well wth | 01:25 |
| dlvr | pkbest: check out cedega | 01:25 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom | 01:25 |
| Guest69794 | did you try installing both driver packages? | 01:25 |
| haakon__ | emacs tetris is also nice, because sometimes you need a break | 01:25 |
| xiven | Why did removing UbuntuStudio's usplash theme take out xserver's screens.. | 01:25 |
| haakon__ | My guess, is that the xorg conf file somewhere depended on something being somewhere that removing usplash also removed. | 01:26 |
| bigtom21485 | guest69794: I installed pulseaudio from the software center | 01:26 |
| abstrakt | virtual box is free, but the licensed copy of windows is not | 01:26 |
| pkbest | dlvr, cedega does not play well with those games as i have read | 01:26 |
| abstrakt | vim > emacs > * | 01:26 |
| haakon__ | abstrakt: Are you trying to rekindle the holy wars? :p | 01:26 |
| Zetty | does jfs have an equivilant to dmask and fmask? (all i want to do is give the group rwx, i don't care about what the user has) | 01:26 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom: which distro of ubuntu are you using? | 01:26 |
| bigtom21485 | 9.10 x64 | 01:26 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, noooo... who me?... never!</sarcasm> | 01:27 |
| dlvr | http://www.cedega.com/gamesdb/ | 01:27 |
| jastor | abstrakt: doesnt running cedega or wine require some windows stuff to run? .. i thought micorosft had objections about such ;) | 01:27 |
| haakon__ | M-x sarcasm | 01:27 |
| bigtom21485 | Guest69794: 9.10 x64 | 01:27 |
| haakon__ | you mean? | 01:27 |
| dlvr | Does anyone know of a screen saver, or an alternate method, to switch workspaces at a set interval? | 01:27 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, no i ditched emacs for vim years ago | 01:27 |
| Guest69794 | hmm | 01:27 |
| dbook82 | i want to copy a file to my language spec folder, but it won't allow me saying permission denied, but I'm the owner, how can i fix this? | 01:28 |
| Aaronneyer | Does anyone know how I can fix a blank screen after Ubuntu splash | 01:28 |
| abstrakt | and i did use emacs, hardcore, for many years... for the record | 01:28 |
| boscop | I want to make two partitions on my usb pen drive. what should I choose in gparted for format table? msdos? aix? bsd? it should get detected on win + linux | 01:28 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom install hardware drivers (jockey-gtk) and hardware drivers (jockey-kde) | 01:28 |
| jastor | boscop: fat32 | 01:29 |
| jastor | boscop: well .. you could choose ntfs .. but some pendrives mess up then | 01:29 |
| boscop | jastor: there is no option for that | 01:29 |
| rjb | hi my hdd seems death, i can't see any partition, any way to recover data? | 01:29 |
| haakon__ | boscop: Go with FAT32 unless you need to have files >4gb on there. | 01:30 |
| boscop | only those mentioned before + amiga, dvh, gpt, mac | 01:30 |
| jastor | rjb: dead how -.. physical? mft? partiton gone wrong? | 01:30 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, real tetris with actual graphics is even better :) | 01:30 |
| rjb | jastor: it is a physical error | 01:30 |
| boscop | jastor, haakon__: I'm talking about the format for the partition table | 01:30 |
| bigtom21485 | jockey gtk was already installed which i found peculiar. im installing jockey-kde now. | 01:31 |
| jastor | rjb: depending on the extent of the damage .. yes and no | 01:31 |
| rjb | jastor: before boot makes some maxtor hdd makes some beeps | 01:31 |
| haakon__ | In a way, but if you're trying to get some ridiculous prolog AI working, you're spending some 30 minutes C-v/M-v'ing the damned thing, and finally figure it out, then you don't really have the energy to do anything else than M-x tetris. | 01:31 |
| === i is now known as Guest95097 | ||
| haakon__ | Also, I live inside terminals these days. | 01:31 |
| boscop | should I go with msdos (the default)? | 01:31 |
| bigtom21485 | guest 69794: jockey gtk was already installed which i found peculiar. im installing jockey-kde now. | 01:31 |
| stovicek | boscop, choose msdos for the table | 01:31 |
| Guest95097 | can some help me | 01:31 |
| haakon__ | Most likely msdos is the best one. | 01:31 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom, it was on mine too. just making sure. | 01:31 |
| rjb | jastor: what should i try? i have important information there | 01:31 |
| boscop | ok | 01:31 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, because moving the mouse down to my launch bar to launch it is SOO much harder than M-x tetris </sarcasm> | 01:32 |
| abstrakt | lol | 01:32 |
| haakon__ | If you're not running an Xorg server, it actually is... ;) | 01:32 |
| abstrakt | tetris kinda blows anyway these days compared to what's available for video games | 01:32 |
| bigtom21485 | guest69794: its taking forever so i hope this is it :-) | 01:32 |
| jastor | rjb: is it a storage drive? or do you have the system on it? | 01:32 |
| abstrakt | ahh, ok well if you're living in the dark ages, then sure maybe that's good for you :) | 01:32 |
| dbook82 | i want to copy a file to my language spec folder, but it won't allow me saying permission denied, but I'm the owner, how can i fix this? | 01:32 |
| orb01 | Hey, after installing timidity I get notifications that my soundcard HDA Intel stopped working, and I don't get any sound anymore.. How do I solve this? | 01:32 |
| bigtom21485 | abstrakt: unless you have a console then you have sveral other choices if you have extra brain cells that you can sacrafice | 01:33 |
| haakon__ | You use vim, you're in no position to talk about dark ages. | 01:33 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom, no worries, it has a lot of drivers along with the ones you may need. | 01:33 |
| haakon__ | :p | 01:33 |
| fabio333 | orb01: pulseaudio issue | 01:33 |
| rjb | jastor: i have a win installation on it and all the data | 01:33 |
| orb01 | fabio333: so I need to uninstall timidity again? | 01:33 |
| abstrakt | console ftw, but console only for workstation = fail | 01:33 |
| pwebster25 | Don't want to bug. Did anyone have any ideas on my Evolution question earlier? | 01:33 |
| abstrakt | in more cases than not anyway | 01:33 |
| haakon__ | Seriously though, if I want 30 minutes to waste, I might as well play emacs tetris as anything else. | 01:33 |
| fabio333 | orb01: killall pulseaudio | 01:34 |
| haakon__ | Console for Emacs is pretty much all I need. | 01:34 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, well it's your life to waste :P | 01:34 |
| jastor | rjb: ok .. do you have any other harddrive on it with a system you can boot from? .. or any other computer you can do stuff on taht wont interfere with the damaged drive? | 01:34 |
| haakon__ | Prolog doesn't have any fancy IDEs anyway. | 01:34 |
| jastor | rjb: if its a ntfs/fat32 drive id just download something like hirens bootcd | 01:34 |
| haakon__ | It's not as popular as say... Java. | 01:34 |
| orb01 | fabio333: it says no process found | 01:34 |
| Guest95097 | if i open d&d with wine when it still in the download filer in says dll;C:/users/steven/Temp/is-LMT2K.tmp/PostInstallrunner.dill | 01:34 |

| haakon__ | Then again, Abstrakt, I don't spend my entire life inside a tty anyway. | 01:35 |
| jastor | rjb: ok | 01:35 |
| bigtom21485 | haakon_: what is a tty? | 01:35 |
| haakon__ | I usually use Tty2 for work, and have Tty7 as an xserver. | 01:35 |
| abstrakt | haakon__, neither do i... i spend most of it inside either GNOME or explorer.exe | 01:35 |
| Guest69794 | bigtom what percent is your download at? | 01:35 |
| orb01 | fabio333: rmmod gives error because it is in use, so I used -f, not sure if I was supposed to do that | 01:35 |

| rjb | jastor: i made fdisk -l and i only see 1 disk | 01:37 |

| bigtom21485 | haakon87: how do i check that? | 01:48 |
| xiven | haak if that was to me, I didn't run any command. | 01:48 |
| xiven | Just used nano to edit xorg.conf.new on one line. | 01:48 |
| haakon87 | It was to dbook82 | 01:48 |
| Emanon | #bash nzqrc | 01:48 |
| entropius | I | 01:48 |
| nzqrc | thanks emanon | 01:48 |
| haakon87 | dbook, you likely don't own the target folder. | 01:48 |
| entropius | gah, silly java client. I have a possibly retarded question. | 01:49 |
| haakon87 | If you want to do it by GUI, press alt+F2 and type in "gksudo nautilus" and do it from there. | 01:49 |
| haakon87 | then you'll run it as root and you can do ANYTHING. | 01:49 |
| entropius | I use ubuntu on multiple systems without a problem, but my mother (living in another state) just had a major Windows meltdown, and I had her install Ubuntu. | 01:49 |
| dbook82 | haakon87 how can i change that, i'm the owner, like owner-owner | 01:49 |
| Guest69794 | I have to go... GL bigtom! | 01:49 |
| haakon87 | No, root is the owner. | 01:49 |
| haakon87 | You're just one of the lucky people who can become root by sudoing. | 01:50 |
| entropius | When she attempts to install multiple different packages (I had her try ubuntu-restricted-extras and openssh) she gets an "unable to find package" error. (Been doing phone support with her). | 01:50 |
| entropius | I don't know how to figure out what is wrong without sshing to the computer, and I can't do that since she can't get openssh-server. | 01:50 |
| haakon87 | You really don't want to change it so that you're the owner owner instead of root, but the way to do it is to right click the folder and use the properties tab. | 01:50 |
| bigtom21485 | Guest69794: its done and it still wont work | 01:50 |
| entropius | Any quick ideas what's wrong? | 01:50 |
| haakon87 | That's enough rope to hang yourself with, so be careful. ;) | 01:50 |
| bigtom21485 | guest69794: thanks | 01:51 |
| dbook82 | haakon87 lol, tried that but it still wouldn't let me. so gksudo nautilus? | 01:51 |
| haakon87 | Yeah. That way, you'll run as the highest owner of the system. | 01:51 |
| boscop | why doesn't chown work on /dev/sdc2 ? | 01:51 |
| bpocock | hello... having an issue with 9.10. it seems my F row functionality is inverted. Hitting F1 tries to connect to a projector, and hitting <function>+F1 uses the intended function of F1 for a program... is there a way to fix this? | 01:51 |
| dbook82 | definitely dont wanna hang myself | 01:51 |
| dbook82 | lol | 01:51 |
| papo | hello friends hope that my question is not uncomfortable. well i am new to gnu / linux. and right now I have a problem when I explain all isntale ubuntu9.10 coached me quedo bien checkout system to detect the audio and me and the card. but a moment to restart my computer the audio disappeared not because they do not hear the horns and tried to Prodire be okay. please | 01:51 |
| bigtom21485 | anyone wanna help fix a sound card thats not showing up?? | 01:51 |
| haakon87 | It will let you do ANYTHING, and it won't give you those friendly warnings. | 01:51 |
| Emanon | bpocock: is your function lock on? | 01:52 |
| bigtom21485 | papo: what kind of computer do you have? my sound wont work either | 01:52 |
| dbook82 | haakon87 still not letting me do anything | 01:52 |
| bpocock | umm, i have no idea if it is or hwo to check, just got this laptop yesterday, not used to dells | 01:52 |
| haakon87 | What? | 01:52 |
| haakon87 | Is nautilus displaying the "You're running in super user mode" warning? | 01:53 |
| mat815 | What kind of sound card is it? | 01:53 |
| bpocock | there doesnt appaer to be a function lock option on it though | 01:53 |
| haakon87 | Wait, sorry, that's not on nautilus | 01:53 |
| dbook82 | haak well i pressed alt+f2 then typed in gksudo nautilus and it asked for my password and i got nothing | 01:53 |
| bigtom21485 | realtek hd audio | 01:53 |
| haakon87 | You typed your password right? | 01:53 |
| dbook82 | yeah | 01:53 |
| haakon87 | And you use GNOME? | 01:53 |
| haakon87 | And thus nautilus as your file manager? | 01:53 |
| dbook82 | yes ubuntu 9.10 | 01:54 |
| haakon87 | Then after entering your password, nautilus opened up? | 01:54 |
| haakon87 | displaying the folder /root? | 01:54 |
| dbook82 | no | 01:54 |
| haakon87 | did you type your password correctly? | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | compiz has a feature to show what apps are running as root. it can append 'root' in the title :) | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | which is handy | 01:54 |
| dbook82 | as far as i know, it didn't say incorrect password | 01:54 |
| haakon87 | It won't, most likely... | 01:55 |
| haakon87 | Try to run it again, if there's no prompt, then you've typed the password correctly | 01:55 |
| dbook82 | lemme try it again | 01:55 |
| haakon87 | It's weird, but true. | 01:55 |

| dbook82 | now its not doing anything... you said gksudo nautilus right? | 01:56 |
| haakon87 | I have a sneaking suspicion to why it doesn't work. | 01:56 |
| mat815 | bigtom21485 have you looked at your logs | 01:56 |
| haakon87 | Could you try open any folder at all? | 01:56 |

| papo | bigtom21485 you tell me your can help | 01:58 |
| haakon87 | And if you try to run just nautilus from the alt+f2 menu, does something happen? | 01:58 |
| entropius | My mom just installed ubuntu after her windows install died. I run ubuntu on several systems with no issues, but of course she (in another state) has problems. | 01:58 |
| dbook82 | no it does not | 01:59 |
| entropius | or ask someone for help. | 01:59 |
| entropius | gah | 01:59 |
| entropius | wrong paste | 01:59 |
| papo | hello friends hope that my question is not uncomfortable. well i am new to gnu / linux. and right now I have a problem when I explain all isntale ubuntu9.10 coached me quedo bien checkout system to detect the audio and me and the card. but a moment to restart my computer the audio disappeared not because they do not hear the horns and tried to Prodire be okay. please | 01:59 |
| haakon87 | try typing it in a terminal, and see if that works? | 01:59 |
| entropius | She can't seem to install multiple different packages, which fail with a "can't find package" error. | 01:59 |
| bigtom21485 | papo: no im very frustrated linux is supposed to be easy | 01:59 |
| entropius | I've had her try openssh-server (so I can ssh and try to figure out what is wrong), ubuntu-restricted-extras (which is what she wants in the first place)... | 01:59 |
| entropius | This happens whether she uses the Ubuntu Software Center or command-line apt-get. | 01:59 |
| i531q00q | who said linux was supposed to be easy? ;) | 02:00 |
| haakon87 | Well, it's just a kernel... *starts flamewar* | 02:00 |
| haakon87 | :p | 02:00 |
| bivo | bigtom21485 linux is no different from Windows or Mac, theres a learning curve | 02:00 |
| Emanon | entropius you remind her to update apt-get? | 02:00 |
| i531q00q | entropius: you've checked that all the software sources have been selected? | 02:00 |
| haakon87 | dbook, how did that go? | 02:00 |
| dbook82 | ok it popped up the password prompt i typed it in and now i'm getting a unique-DBus Warning | 02:00 |
| haakon87 | In the terminal? | 02:01 |
| dbook82 | yes | 02:01 |
| entropius | i531: I asked her to check. She says multiverse, etc. have been checked. | 02:01 |
| haakon87 | Because you can ignore that... ;) | 02:01 |
| entropius | as in sudo apt-get update? Does that need to be done on a new system? | 02:01 |
| haakon87 | does nautilus display /root? | 02:01 |
| i531q00q | yep it does | 02:01 |
| papo | bigtom21485 I'm really new that I'm a little left not what you mean hope you do not really bother bu | 02:01 |
| dbook82 | nautilus hasn't come up | 02:01 |
| entropius | Hm. I'll have her do that. Never did that on my box. Do the GUI programs not do it automagically? | 02:01 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| Emanon | have her hit the refresh button or issue sudo apt-get update in a terminal entropius | 02:01 |
| haakon87 | hm.. type naut and hit tab. | 02:02 |
| haakon87 | No wait.. | 02:02 |
| haakon87 | Sorry. | 02:02 |

| keyboardtalk | How can one make the ubuntu file browser display thumbnails for png images? | 02:02 |
| dbook82 | ok | 02:02 |
| haakon87 | And then type naut and hit tab for the autocomplete. | 02:02 |
| haakon87 | if there's a slight misspelling it will correct it for you. :) | 02:02 |
| dbook82 | ok, done | 02:03 |
| haakon87 | did it complete to nautilus? | 02:03 |
| dbook82 | yes | 02:03 |
| haakon87 | does nautilus launch? | 02:03 |
| haakon87 | (When you hit enter off course /pedantry) | 02:03 |
| dbook82 | yes | 02:03 |
| haakon87 | YES! This is good! | 02:03 |
| papo | bigtom21485 good friends will thank you all so | 02:04 |
| haakon87 | Close nautilus. | 02:04 |

| dbook82 | check | 02:05 |
| haakon87 | Now go to the beginning of the line, and add "gksudo " without the quotes | 02:05 |
| haakon87 | so that the entire string of text is "gksudo nautilus" without the quotes. | 02:05 |
| dbook82 | checkity check | 02:05 |
| haakon87 | hit enter, and let's hope. | 02:06 |
| mat815 | bigtom21485 are you using gnome or kde | 02:06 |
| haakon87 | If not there's another way to do this, but it involves terminal work. | 02:06 |

| Boondoklife | vlad003: Are you refering to kicking off the screen saver from terminal? | 02:07 |
| haakon87 | Alright, let's do this the old fashioned way. | 02:07 |
| bigtom21485 | mat815 im using gnome for now until i get kubuntu which looks a little nicer | 02:07 |
| dbook82 | -cracks kunckles- | 02:07 |
| mat815 | you fixed the sound, good job | 02:07 |
| haakon87 | what you need to know is the full path to the folder your file is in. | 02:07 |
| haakon87 | Including the file. | 02:07 |
| bigtom21485 | mat815 how do i get tablet pc functionality? | 02:07 |
| vlad003 | Boondoklife: Kind of... When I close my laptop lid, the screen goes blank. There's no screensaver. just blank | 02:07 |
| bigtom21485 | after all it is a tablet pc :-) | 02:07 |
| dbook82 | its in the home folder | 02:07 |
| haakon87 | type ls ~/ in your terminal | 02:08 |
| haakon87 | that will list up all files there. | 02:08 |
| haakon87 | See if you can find the file you want to copy. | 02:08 |
| Boondoklife | vlad003: Can you tell me exactly what you want to do? | 02:08 |
| dbook82 | yes its there | 02:08 |
| haakon87 | Good, then half our job's already done. | 02:08 |
| dbook82 | lol | 02:08 |
| haakon87 | Now, find the full path to where you want to copy the file to. | 02:08 |

| ardchoille | CAPcap: Are you using a rather large theme of some kind? | 02:12 |
| haakon87 | then you want to try the command (without the quotation marks): "sudo cp ~/<filename> /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/<filename>" | 02:12 |
| haakon87 | It basically means: "As the root user, copy the file from here to there. | 02:13 |

| iAccepted | haakon87, thanks. | 02:14 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, not really. same settings as i always had before. but today i had some issues with my metacity not launching (which i didnt find out until i'd done a bunch of other things trying to get my window borders back). i removed GNOME and then reinstalled it and since then this has been happening. | 02:14 |
| iAccepted | it's not installed | 02:14 |
| iAccepted | i guess. | 02:14 |
| dbook82 | do i need to specify where the file is coming from? | 02:14 |
| wgrant | rastasean: You mean #ubuntustudio? | 02:14 |
| jolaren | mat815: I did.. doesnt stop the process | 02:14 |
| haakon87 | Yes. | 02:14 |
| haakon87 | That's what ~/ means: | 02:15 |
| dbook82 | ok wait one | 02:15 |
| haakon87 | It means "In my homefolder"/ | 02:15 |
| ardchoille | CAPcap: That could do it. gconfd is the daemon that makes sure your desktop themes work properly | 02:15 |
| rastasean | wgrant: is that a channel? | 02:15 |
| steven_ | why cant i play runescape i download the jave thing | 02:15 |
| wgrant | rastasean: Yes. | 02:15 |
| iAccepted | do you got the plug- in for firefox | 02:15 |
| jolaren | mat815: I'm totally out of ideas | 02:15 |
| mat815 | jolaren, try "man kill" for a better explanation | 02:15 |
| iAccepted | if that's what browser your using. | 02:15 |
| haakon87 | "sudo cp ~/<filename> /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/<filename>" Is what you need to use, and you off course have to substitude <filename> for the filename... ;) | 02:16 |
| dbook82 | huzzah! | 02:16 |
| haakon87 | It worked? | 02:16 |
| gbear14275 | rastasean, I'd like to be able to configure a network bridge through gui... looks like the newer virt-manager packages might have that capability but it seems like ubuntu never updates the package... and I've tried finding ppa's that work but can't seem to get them working. I guess my ideal fix would be if someone could either a) point me at a gui that is better than virt-manager or b) point me ot a ppa that will enable | 02:16 |
| vicsar | 02:16 | |
| jolaren | mat815: I have | 02:16 |
| dbook82 | yes it did | 02:16 |

| haakon87 | I was tearing my hair out... :p | 02:16 |
| iAccepted | steven_: then try to get the plug-in for it. | 02:16 |
| haakon87 | But you seem to have some problems with gksudo though... Might want to reinstall it. | 02:16 |
| dbook82 | now how do i fix the gksudo not working in alt+f2? | 02:16 |
| haakon87 | I don't know. | 02:17 |
| steven_ | how do i do that | 02:17 |
| haakon87 | I'm sorry dbook82, I'm not a Unix wizard... | 02:17 |
| dbook82 | can i find gksudo in synaptic package manager? | 02:17 |
| haakon87 | You can just use the terminal. | 02:17 |
| haakon87 | It's a lot quicker. | 02:17 |
| mat815 | jolaren, how are you finding the process id | 02:17 |
| jolaren | mat815: ps -a | 02:17 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, anyways even after installing xfce, removing gnome, and reintalling all of the regular ubuntu-desktop I still didnt have my borders back. basically looked harder for some solutions and "determined" that metacity wasnt launching. so i added it to my startup applications manually and now i have my window decorations back (close maximize minimize and title bar etc). | 02:17 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: ty. | 02:18 |
| haakon87 | you're welcom iAccepted. | 02:18 |

| ardchoille | CAPcap: Mine did that until I removed compiz | 02:18 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, but now this is happening | 02:18 |
| haakon87 | But yeah, dbook, you should be able to find it in synaptic. | 02:18 |
| dbook82 | would that be something like sudo apt-get gksudo? | 02:18 |
| steven_ | iAccepted: how do i get the plug in | 02:18 |
| rastasean | gbear14275: i know there are several different virtual machine managers. have you tried others? | 02:18 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, so if I should shut of compiz? | 02:18 |
| iAccepted | steven_: ummm i don't know let me try to find out for you, ok? | 02:18 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, ive never had a problem with it before but ok | 02:19 |
| steven_ | ok | 02:19 |
| haakon87 | dbook82: to reinstall it however, just type this line into the terminal | 02:19 |
| haakon87 | sudo aptitude reinstall gksu | 02:19 |
| iAccepted | steven_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 3rd one down. | 02:19 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, compiz is off, still maxing out my cpu | 02:19 |
| haakon87 | Meaning as root, use aptitude to reinstall the package gksu (which is the one that has gksudo in it) | 02:19 |

| Guest8665 | I was guest 6 thousand something | 02:22 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: k so am i doing it? | 02:22 |
| Guest8665 | you told me that before I just forgot ^-^ | 02:22 |
| haakon87 | Yes. | 02:22 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: k thanks. | 02:22 |
| Guest8665 | d something | 02:22 |
| iAccepted | steven_: Did you get it to work? | 02:23 |
| steven_ | give in onec sec ok | 02:23 |
| haakon87 | btw, am I the only one who hate the <command> --help texts? | 02:23 |
| iAccepted | steven_: K. | 02:23 |
| Guest8665 | sudo d something | 02:24 |
| haakon87 | Coming from Windows' cmd prompts, where the /? switch contains useful information, it's annoying that the --help switch only contains reminders for people who already know what they're doing. | 02:24 |
| Guest8665 | haakon what do you use to run files as an admin | 02:24 |
| haakon87 | If any GNU coreutils people are here, hear my plea, expand the --help texts! Please! | 02:24 |
| mat815 | jolaren: kil -KILL pid or kill -9 pid will send a signal to cause an exit that cannot be blocked, if the process is failing in a loop it may not be receiving any signal, what is the process your trying to kill | 02:24 |
| wgrant | haakon87: You probably want to read the man page if you don't know what you're doing. | 02:24 |
| wgrant | haakon87: The usage strings provided by --help tend to just be a reminder. | 02:24 |
| haakon87 | No, I'd want the info file... | 02:24 |
| haakon87 | ;) | 02:24 |
| haakon87 | But yeah, the manpages own. | 02:25 |
| steven_ | i dont know what to do | 02:26 |
| CAPcap | ardchoille, I logged out and back in after shutting of compiz. gconfd-2 is no longer running up my cpu. thanks. sux that i cant have compiz on tho. i liked having it a lot. never was a problem before today :( | 02:26 |
| haakon87 | but the --help strings should be slightly more informative IMO. | 02:26 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: sorry for bothering you so much, but how come i can't find python in my computer, i have it installed in everything because i heard that python was on ubuntu already. | 02:26 |
| steven_ | <iAccepted> i dont know what to do | 02:26 |
| haakon87 | iAccepted: open a terminal, and type python. | 02:26 |

| haakon87 | Yes, guesT? | 02:26 |
| haakon87 | *guest. | 02:26 |
| iAccepted | steven_: hold on. | 02:26 |
| Guest8665 | what do you use to use files as an admin? it's like sudo dilimit | 02:27 |
| haakon87 | sudo for terminal, and gksudo for gui. | 02:27 |
| steven_ | k | 02:27 |
| iAccepted | steven_: did you press download now on the right of the 3rd one down? | 02:27 |
| steven_ | yes | 02:27 |
| iAccepted | hakoon87: i did that and it gave me like 4 options. | 02:27 |
| steven_ | then the slef exc. one | 02:27 |
| haakon87 | And it's not called admins on GNU/Linux systems, but root. And root can roughly be translated as godmode = on | 02:27 |
| haakon87 | iAccepted, could you copypaste the screen? | 02:28 |
| haakon87 | Preferably on pastebin. | 02:28 |
| haakon87 | Because of antispam measures here. | 02:28 |
| Ed1 | somebody know where i can find info to install aion on ubuntu | 02:28 |

| haakon87 | Sorry. | 02:29 |
| haakon87 | http://pastebin.com/ for pasting text people. :) | 02:29 |
| Predaking | I have 3 questions. What's the best way to get a vnc server to startup with ubuntu? NFS mounts in fstab sometimes don't mount unless I type mount -a. This is not ideal. What's the best way to correct this? I use nvidia drivers. The resolution resets upon reboot. I use nvidia control panel to get things setup correctly. Copy the configuration to my xorg.conf file but it still resets the resolution on reboot. Any ideas why? | 02:29 |
| Guest8665 | lol you told me one when I was guest 6 thousand something | 02:29 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: wait you want the text or sceenshot, if screen shot idk how. | 02:30 |

| iAccepted | the eric4? | 02:34 |
| Aren | wgrant, thank you for the redirect. | 02:34 |
| haakon87 | do you mean an IDE for Python programming? | 02:34 |
| johndarc | Aren, probably 4GB (minimum), I use 30GB though | 02:35 |
| iAccepted | yeah. | 02:35 |
| johndarc | default installation is about 2.9GB from the live-cd | 02:35 |
| haakon87 | just type eric4 in the terminal. | 02:35 |
| haakon87 | off course you need to call exit() to get out of the python interpreter. | 02:35 |

| iAccepted | haakon87: wait i got this when i opened eric then tryed to open the python documentation. But what im trying to do is learn python.. | 02:38 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: Why are you trying to compile it manually? There is a package for it. | 02:38 |
| iAccepted | haakon87: http://yfrog.com/juscreenshot1sgp | 02:39 |

| iAccepted | steven_: wait. | 02:39 |
| haakon87 | iAccepted: you lack some docs. Nothing serious. | 02:39 |

| iAccepted | haakon87: so how can i get them back. | 02:40 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: I couldn't figure out how to do what you are asking | 02:40 |
| steven_ | ok cool | 02:40 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: Why do you want fftw 3.2.2? | 02:40 |
| hub_cap | Are there any Evolution expert here? | 02:40 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: it is necessary for xoopic | 02:40 |
| haakon87 | reinstall python or google for the files and put them back in manually seems to be the best options. | 02:40 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: install the 'libfftw3-dev' package. | 02:40 |
| haakon87 | but I'm no python expert. | 02:40 |
| haakon87 | If you wanted to learn swi-prolog I might be of more use. :( | 02:41 |

| nfm | Hi, anyone here? | 02:42 |
| wgrant | nfm: Nobody. | 02:42 |
| nfm | :( | 02:42 |
| ubuntu | wgrant : thanks, installing now | 02:42 |
| haakon87 | No, we're all just bots trying to pass the Turing test. | 02:42 |
| wgrant | ubuntu: np | 02:42 |
| mat815 | jolaren: pts/1 does not sound like it is a program itself, it is more like a thread or a connection that may be associated with newcs try 'ps a for a better listing' | 02:43 |
| nfm | So I saw a random comment on ubuntuforums that it's possible to use rpm in ubuntu | 02:43 |
| haakon87 | by using alien, sure. | 02:43 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: I am getting an invalid operation error | 02:43 |
| wgrant | mat815: 'pts/1' is the first open virtual terminal -- normally a gnome-terminal instance. | 02:43 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: What is the exact text of the error message? | 02:43 |
| wgrant | nfm: Not really. Why? | 02:43 |
| nfm | You can't just install rpm and go? | 02:43 |
| wgrant | No. | 02:43 |
| enyawix | is miro still working in ubuntu? | 02:44 |
| nfm | I was just curious. :) | 02:44 |
| mat815 | thanks | 02:44 |
| haakon87 | You *can* use alien and make rpm into a deb. | 02:44 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: kocmodpom@kocmodpom-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get libfftw3-dev | 02:44 |
| kocmodpom | E: Invalid operation libfftw3-dev | 02:44 |
| haakon87 | But it's not recommended. | 02:44 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: apt-get install libfftw3-dev | 02:44 |
| nfm | Ok, thanks. | 02:44 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: doh! | 02:44 |
| wgrant | nfm: As haakon87 says, you can use alien to convert an rpm into a deb, but it is strongly discouraged. | 02:44 |
| wgrant | nfm: Installing with rpm directly is a recipe for endless sorrow. | 02:44 |
| haakon87 | calculating the sorrow for alien however, is merely np-complete. | 02:45 |
| wgrant | Indeed :( | 02:45 |
| nfm | @wgrant How much sorrow are talking? What's the worst that could happen? :P | 02:45 |
| nfm | *we | 02:46 |
| haakon87 | You know murphy's law? | 02:46 |
| nfm | yeah | 02:46 |
| ultraparadigm | Ok, Boxee = Fail! | 02:46 |
| haakon87 | You're tempting it nfm, and that's not a good thing. | 02:46 |
| nfm | lol | 02:46 |
| nfm | Ok, I'm curiouser now than ever! I'm firing up a live cd and seeing what happens... | 02:47 |
| ultraparadigm | Boxee wouldn't run in windows, I figured, well the OS is crap and nothing works right anyway, but now it doesn't work in my Ubuntu either and nearly everything else works, even windows programs, and boxee still doesn't work. | 02:47 |
| haakon87 | But if you really, absolutely must have something, and it's not available as a deb, or as source, then you can use alien. But most likely the package won't install properly and you have to spend some manner of time running around in a massive terminal FUBAR and removeing stuff by hand. | 02:47 |
| wgrant | nfm: In most cases packages will fail to install. In other cases they will overwrite things and make your computer explode. | 02:47 |
| wgrant | Well, not quite, but close. | 02:47 |
| ultraparadigm | I've never had a native program not run in Linux before. Boxee = FAIL | 02:47 |
| haakon87 | Not really explode, just force you to have fun with a recovery shell because rpm just got root and decided to add random stuff to things. | 02:47 |
| enyawix | Ubuntu have kernel preemption turned on/ | 02:47 |
| enyawix | ? | 02:48 |
| nfm | All right, thanks guys (or gals?)! | 02:48 |
| haakon87 | *have a painful memory of scheme and poor documentation not mentioning guile...* | 02:48 |

| kramer3d | how do i add a path so that if i type in adb in the terminal, it works | 02:50 |
| jolaren | mat815: None of importance there | 02:50 |
| haakon87 | kramer3d: | 02:50 |
| haakon87 | What is adb? | 02:50 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: oh yea, that was a lot easier, thanks! but I am still getting some NOs and warnings on 116-119 due to dfftw http://pastebin.com/ZVTXnY7e | 02:50 |
| gbear14275 | anyone know of any ppa's that are keeping pace with the virt-manager package? | 02:51 |
| kramer3d | haakon87: its a application i have in a nother folder | 02:51 |
| haakon87 | Because if it's just one program in a terminal, it's better to just use alias. | 02:51 |
| gbear14275 | I can't find one that works | 02:51 |
| kramer3d | haakon87: how do i do that | 02:51 |

| gbear14275 | ours is over a major version behind | 02:51 |
| haakon87 | kramer3d: Just open .bashrc, and on the last line, add "alias adb='<path to program>/<program name>'" | 02:52 |
| kramer3d | ok thanks | 02:52 |
| bigtom21485 | anyone know how to get rhythmbox to play mp4 acc's from itunes? | 02:52 |
| bigtom21485 | without converting them to mp3? | 02:52 |
| kramer3d | haakon87: how come editing the path didnt work | 02:52 |
| kramer3d | i did | 02:52 |
| kramer3d | PATH = $PATH:\dir\ | 02:53 |
| haakon87 | That's WINDOWS syntax. | 02:53 |
| kramer3d | :o | 02:53 |
| Spaztic_One | bigtom21485: I'm no pro, but I think all mp4s from itunes are protected and there isn't any way short of burning to disks and then ripping them again | 02:53 |
| ultraparadigm | Anyone know if boxee requires rtorrent? | 02:53 |
| Spaztic_One | But I could be wrong. | 02:53 |
| kocmodpom | After installing dfftw Why am I still getting some NOs and warnings on 116-119 from dfftw not being found? http://pastebin.com/ZVTXnY7e | 02:54 |
| haakon87 | But after you've added the line to .bashrc you'll have to restart your terminal for the changes to take effect. Also, you should always keep a backup of the old .bashrc in case something goes wrong. | 02:54 |
| bigtom21485 | how about someone leak the info from apple and i convert the songs to mp3's without wasting cd-r's? | 02:54 |
| user1 | |}.l | 02:54 |
| Spaztic_One | Yeah, really... | 02:54 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: You installed fftw, not dfftw. | 02:54 |
| mat815 | jolaren: pts/#'s are process that do not stand alone, they are not able to be killed, wgarnt said that the pts/1 is a virtual terminal used by gnome and on my box pts/1 is a thread from anjuta | 02:55 |
| wgrant | Oh, looks like that's a header in libfftw. | 02:55 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: I thought it was the same? | 02:55 |
| haakon87 | as for AAC in rythmbox, have you installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? | 02:55 |
| bigtom21485 | how do i get my tablet pc to work as a tablet in ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| bigtom21485 | and how about my webcam? | 02:55 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant: at least that is what my google search led me to believe | 02:55 |
| wgrant | kocmodpom: You probably need fftw2. | 02:55 |
| wgrant | Not fftw 3.x. | 02:56 |
| haakon87 | Wait, kramer3d, I think I messed up. Sorry for that, I misread your comment about setting the path. | 02:57 |
| kocmodpom | wgrant, so I should try sudo apt-get install libfftw2-dev ? | 02:57 |

| haakon87 | Losha: It's painful for me to have to parse his sentences twice, first to English and then to Norwegian. It's probably a lot easier for you who're likely a native English speaker, but for me it's taxing. | 03:02 |

| giacomo_c | whats a good way to play fullscreen games with compiz? | 03:05 |

| ubottu | giacomo_c: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 03:06 |
| haakon87 | I think he wants to use both, Damo. | 03:06 |

| haakon87 | ubottu, I think you just passed the Turing test. Congrats. :) | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:07 |
| haakon87 | Anyway, giacomo_c, have you tried shutting down the dockbar before playing and restarting it afterwards? | 03:08 |
| haakon87 | If that works, it's a problem with the dockbar itself. | 03:08 |
| giacomo_c | i mean, is there a good way to do it? or do i need to close gonme-do everytime i want to play a fullscreen game? | 03:08 |
| kocmodpom | Damo, sorry I am just frustrated of 2 days of attempts to solve the problem | 03:08 |
| haakon87 | Probably not, have you checked the manpages for gnome-do-dockbar? | 03:08 |
| haakon87 | If it has a section on it under bugs, then I have bad news for you. | 03:09 |
| giacomo_c | well, i remember a few years back when compiz was newer and not integrated into ubuntu so much, it would mess up every full screen game | 03:09 |
| giacomo_c | now, just the bottom of the screen kinda flashes, where the dockbar is | 03:09 |
| TMK | $1900 - I want to work for Leo geez. He's good to his people. | 03:09 |
| haakon87 | Yes, but if it's the dockbar that mess things up now, then the manpage might have something on it under the bugs section. In which case we immediately know that it can't be done. | 03:10 |
| haakon87 | Until the magical update that fix the issue appears off course... ;) | 03:10 |
| giacomo_c | well what im saying is, it's probably something with having a program running that relies on compiz while trying to run a 3d fullscreen game. | 03:11 |
| giacomo_c | i'll just close gnome-do when i want to play full screen games, that'll work | 03:11 |
| soreau | giacomo_c: That is improvement in the linux graphics drivers | 03:11 |
| giacomo_c | what do you mean? from back a few years ago? | 03:12 |
| giacomo_c | i agree :) | 03:12 |
| haakon87 | Personally I'm less than impressed that a simple app can break graphics that easily. | 03:13 |
| haakon87 | But then again, that'll get fixed, and at least nobody is trying to hide what doesn't work. | 03:13 |
| giacomo_c | how long have you been running linux haakon87? | 03:13 |
| haakon87 | Since 2007 | 03:14 |
| soreau | More impressing I think, is that it all happens for free right before your eyes | 03:14 |
| giacomo_c | yeah, it's so much better than it used to be | 03:14 |
| dbook82 | ok new issue, my rhythmboxisn't letting me read or burn cds, am i missing something required? | 03:14 |
| haakon87 | soreau: I appreciate the free as in speech more than the beer thingy. | 03:14 |
| haakon87 | dbook82, insert an audio cd and mount it, and see what happens. | 03:15 |
| haakon87 | Might just be that your system doesn't automount cds. | 03:15 |
| dbook82 | how do i mount? | 03:15 |
| haakon87 | Open nautilus and click on the cdrom icon. | 03:15 |
| wgrant | haakon87: Direct rendering is hard. | 03:15 |
| wgrant | haakon87: But almost solved now. | 03:15 |
| haakon87 | What do you mean almost solved? IIRC, Nvidia replace the bottom 3rd of xorg to get DRM working.æ | 03:16 |
| haakon87 | *working. | 03:16 |
| vicsar | hello all. i need help making my "Logitech Precision" game pad work in Ubuntu. Any volunteers? | 03:16 |
| dbook82 | ok there is no cd rom icon i can find | 03:16 |
| wgrant | haakon87: The reasonably mature free 3D drivers (for Intel and ATI) have DRI2, which allows redirected direct rendering. | 03:16 |
| haakon87 | But if Xorg gets that stuff working properly without Nvidia ra... consensual love to make it work, all the better. | 03:16 |
| wgrant | haakon87: Intel from Karmic, and ATI from Lucid. | 03:16 |
| === darkyy is now known as Darkyyy | ||
| wgrant | haakon87: Which means that 3D applications run inside Compiz properly, like with NVIDIA, but without replacing the DRI stack. | 03:17 |
| bigtom21485 | its only fun if its consensual, lmao | 03:17 |
| haakon87 | Which is a good thing, belive. | 03:17 |
| haakon87 | *I believe. | 03:17 |
| bigtom21485 | if its not, then its rape, lol | 03:17 |

| haakon87 | Why they want to study us? | 03:27 |
| EzeQL | yes | 03:27 |
| haakon87 | Basically, we have a bunch of really weird language quirks. | 03:27 |
| gbear14275 | anyone? please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/395427/ | 03:28 |
| haakon87 | For instance, we have a system where the melody of the word change it's meaning. | 03:28 |
| iAccepted | wgrant: k i think i got it,. | 03:28 |
| EzeQL | wow, haakon87 ... so pretty complex language | 03:28 |
| haakon87 | Lammet and lamme would be transcribed the same into IPA, but will mean either lamb or paralyze. | 03:28 |
| haakon87 | Which wouldn't be that weird, except that it's only found in Norwegian, Swedish and SE Asian languages. | 03:29 |

| ZykoticK9 | will__, no it still exists, but it's not supported and you should avoid it if possible. | 03:37 |

However, if the build didn't complete successfully, is there another copy of config file which will be copied to the location indicated earlier? (I need to double check the resulting CONFIG_* settings that might have caused modules to not be built...) | 03:37 |
| guille | how do i get it to detect the other modes | 03:37 |
| Boondoklife | gbear14275: If it can not read your partition data then I would imagine the system will become unstable even if you do not reboot. | 03:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, do you have emerald installed? "sudo apt-get install emerald" | 03:38 |
| dbook82 | where can i go for further info? | 03:38 |
| will__ | well i got compiz, but still managed to use bery emeralds with the 9.04 and they worked, is there a way to make the theme compatable with maybe human looks or a differnt GTK2 | 03:38 |
| gbear14275 | Boondoklife: how can I check or fix it | 03:38 |
| will__ | to give you more detail i got an alienware theme installed but want the carbon fiber window borders and maybe a carbon fiber title bar for windows | 03:38 |
| iAccepted | wgrant: Thank you so much, i got it to work. | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, emerald will replace the gtk theme | 03:39 |

| guille | how do i get ubuntu to detect my monitor resolutions ?? | 03:39 |
| wgrant | iAccepted: Excellent. | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, if you want to use emerald themes you need to install emerald | 03:39 |
| Boondoklife | gbear14275: safest way would be with a livecd and fsck the disk | 03:39 |
| will__ | so i will lose the gtk< alienware and the rest i installed? | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, not sure | 03:40 |
| iAccepted | wgrant: i hope i will be like you one day cause i barely know anything about ubuntu. | 03:40 |
| will__ | if its a gtk theme? | 03:40 |
| gbear14275 | Boondoklife: nothing I can do on the live system right now? | 03:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, you could try it and see? | 03:40 |
| wgrant | iAccepted: Well, I've been at it for quite a few years now, but it doesn't take long to get up to speed. | 03:41 |
| Boondoklife | gbear14275: not unless you are running on a different disc. But I am assuming sda is your system disc. | 03:41 |
| gbear14275 | Boondoklife: it is :-/ | 03:41 |
| guille | how do i get ubuntu to detect my monitor resolutions ?? | 03:41 |
| Boondoklife | gbear14275: I would just backup anything you are worried about while it is still reading just incase and then just reload with a livecd. | 03:41 |
| haakon87 | guille, there should be a tool through the X-server settings program. | 03:42 |
| haakon87 | At least the nvidia proprietary drivers have that. | 03:42 |
| iAccepted | wgrant: I really wish i new about this sooner. | 03:42 |

| will__ | well is there a way to just change the title bar decor, example: when you download a theme it comes with PNG's that are set as they look for the title bar, can you add a different .png to that themes file so they will look different. if so where would i drop that picture.png file? | 03:43 |

| Darkyyy | hi | 03:44 |
| Darkyyy | how can i install flash player for firefox on ubuntu 9.10 64-bit | 03:44 |
| haakon87 | guille have you tried googling your screen? You might get the information that way. | 03:44 |
| gbear14275 | Boondoklife: i have backups... although I don't have enough room to backup everything :( | 03:44 |
| iAccepted | Darkyyy: Are you trying to get it for firefox? | 03:44 |
| haakon87 | Darkyyy: enter "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" in a terminal. | 03:44 |
| Darkyyy | yes | 03:44 |
| haakon87 | That's the quickest way. | 03:45 |
| guille | yes i have | 03:45 |
| Darkyyy | k thanks | 03:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | will__, i've never dug that deep into themes, hopefully someone else has an answer. But i think emerald will only do the title bar decoration, so perhaps it's what you are looking for. Why not try it and see? although, again emerald should be avoided if possible. | 03:45 |
| iAccepted | darkyyy: do what haakon7 said ^^ | 03:45 |
| Boondoklife | gbear14275: hopefully it is something small like a bad block that caused a minor error that can be fixed. | 03:45 |
| iAccepted | haakon87* | 03:45 |
| haakon87 | Or you can search it from the software center. | 03:45 |

| Guest78971 | anyone no how to use internet dj? | 03:49 |
| haakon87 | It should search through and detect that you have an Nvidia card and offer to install proprietary drivers. | 03:50 |
| haakon87 | After everything's installed you have to restart your computer. | 03:50 |

| Freak007 | Does anybody know how to, add the 'RenderAccel' option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,after you have created an Xorg configuration file. | 03:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Freak007, Option "RenderAccel" "false" -- under the "Device" section should work | 03:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Freak007, or "true" if that's what you want | 03:55 |
| lwizardl | Does anyone know of a good program to create and print barcodes on a inkjet or laser printer ? | 03:55 |

| sigmab3ta | the ps3 port uses the repos at ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports | 04:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Freak007, if you just want to open the file "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" will open the file in a GUI editor | 04:01 |

| pwnkiller | does anyone know how to get netflix to work with ubuntu | 04:03 |
| neji | well it will play the video | 04:03 |
| haakon87 | It usually works for me, after clicking the video, using space to pause it and then space to resume playing it... | 04:04 |
| haakon87 | You could try that. | 04:04 |
| ardchoille | pwnkiller: It doesn't, been there, done that. Boxee doesn't work either. Cancelled my account because of that | 04:04 |
| neji | yeah but i cant skip forward or back =( | 04:04 |
| bgvianyc | if I want to delete and directory and all its subdirectories and files in an FTP session, whats the fastest way to do that? | 04:04 |

| pwnkiller | how do you install .tar packages? | 04:05 |
| haakon87 | you untar them, and then follow the instructions in the readme file. | 04:05 |
| zoidfarb | pwnkiller, you can just extract them | 04:05 |
| ardchoille | pwnkiller: The first step is to check the repos and see if the app is there. | 04:05 |
| zoidfarb | tar -xvf or so | 04:06 |
| pwnkiller | ok let me try that brb | 04:06 |
| sontek | anyone know how to verify if a .ssh file is valid? and each key is defined properly in it? | 04:06 |

| neji | zyk is there anyway to fix my problem? how in youtube it WILL play the videos but i cant go forward or skip back | 04:06 |
| sontek | someone e-mailed me a key and I just pasted it into the file | 04:06 |

| vicsar | @all original question : hello all. i need help making my "Logitech Precision" game pad work in Ubuntu. Any volunteers? | 04:10 |
| zoidfarb | viscar, what's the problem with it? | 04:11 |
| zoidfarb | is it not recognized at all? | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | pwnkiller, moonlight doesn't work due to DRM of netflix (ps don't paste to channel) | 04:11 |
| pwnkiller | sry | 04:11 |
| meowsus | Would the the "industry standard" be for flash development in ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| alkisg | theadmin: what do you get with this? dpkg -l 'linux*'|grep ^ii | 04:11 |
| vicsar | resolution: go to http://www.getdeb.net/ | 04:11 |
| vicsar | and install jstest-gtk | 04:11 |
| pwnkiller | right but i want to install anyway | 04:11 |
| vicsar | from the repository | 04:11 |
| meowsus | What* would the "industry standard" be | 04:12 |
| vicsar | thank you anyways | 04:12 |
| neji | ZykoticK9, hey um that link the first line ddo i copy and paste to terminal? (also im running 64bit linux) | 04:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | neji, i run 64bit too | 04:12 |
| ardchoille | pwnkiller: It'll be a waste of time regarding Netflix, but try this: apt-cache search -n moonlight | 04:12 |
| theadmin | alkisg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/395445/ | 04:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | neji, as long as your using the flash from Ubuntu it'll work | 04:12 |
| vicsar | @zoidfarb yes that was the problem. now i need know it is being detected | 04:12 |
| haakon87 | meowsus: Emacs? :p Seriously though, http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/2007/01/04/flash-devolopment-with-linux | 04:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | neji, don't paste the $ | 04:13 |
| alkisg | theadmin: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic | 04:13 |
| itheos | when i do this ----> sudo modprobe uvcvideo, i get this --->WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options, it will be ignored in a future release. | 04:13 |
| neji | ZykoticK9, okey thank you :) brb going to attempt this | 04:13 |
| nopolen | how do you in salll win app in backtrack 4 | 04:13 |
| itheos | is it fine? | 04:14 |
| pwnkiller | coomand not found brb | 04:14 |
| zoidfarb | @viscar, try lspci , maybe | 04:14 |
| meowsus | haakon87, So it's either use flash in Wine or just a text editor? | 04:14 |
| theadmin | alkisg: "linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic" - don't want this one, i don't really wanna to upgrade kernels | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | !backtrack | nopolen | 04:14 |
| ubottu | nopolen: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 04:14 |
| haakon87 | For development? | 04:14 |
| zoidfarb | @viscar, or also, plug it in and then run $dmesg | tail | 04:14 |
| haakon87 | I'd go with Virtualbox and a Windows XP license, myself, but yes. | 04:14 |
| zoidfarb | viscar, and see iif it's being detected | 04:14 |
| haakon87 | And Emacs is slightly more than a mere text editor... It can be used for anything. It'll run the X-Server in the end. | 04:15 |
| haakon87 | However, nobody likes flash, so nobody wants to make something for it.. :( | 04:15 |
| haakon87 | Off course, eclipse is an option. | 04:16 |
| alkisg | theadmin: linux-image-generic is how the system is offering you new kernels. You could install an older version of it, but if you're really really sure that you never want to get a newer kernel, you can just do: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic. That will mark it as manually installed, so that it doesn't get autoremoved. | 04:16 |
| meowsus | haakon87, yeah, i'm trying to do actual animation with it | 04:16 |
| neji | ZykoticK9, Hey so i got this text thing open up. npviewer am i correct so far? | 04:16 |
| haakon87 | In which case, do you have a windows xp license? :( | 04:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | neji, that's the file you need to edit yes | 04:17 |
| neji | so i am typying this after TARGET_ARCH=i386? | 04:17 |
| meowsus | Weak-ass | 04:17 |
| haakon87 | Seriously? | 04:17 |
| theadmin | Another problem, i have 9 packages held back | 04:17 |

| haakon87 | Flash sucks to begin with, so why would anyone of us want to touch it to begin with? | 04:18 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Youtube. | 04:18 |
| haakon87 | Flash players you can get native. | 04:18 |
| zoidfarb | youtube is supporting html5 video now | 04:18 |
| haakon87 | But dev-tools? | 04:18 |
| neji | yes youtube | 04:18 |
| alkisg | theadmin: sudo apt-get install them, and pastebin the error message | 04:18 |
| kocmodpom | is solving ./configure issues always this difficult??? http://pastebin.com/nPYcwkFP | 04:18 |
| zoidfarb | Flash dev tools are mostly from Adobe | 04:18 |
| debugger | Hey | 04:19 |

| debugger | What`s the relation btw Puppy Linux and Islam? | 04:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | kocmodpom, it can be - that's why it's recommended you install from the repository and not compile things yourself (sometime it goes smoothly, not ofter) | 04:19 |
| theadmin | alkisg: Hm, it worked. Really akward | 04:19 |
| meowsus | I'll be able to bang that out in flash, or a flash-like program, in a coulple of minutes | 04:19 |

| zoidfarb | can you do a temp-IP ban? | 04:23 |
| slackster | does "apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrade to the next release? | 04:23 |
| itheos | hi | 04:23 |
| zoidfarb | slackester, yes | 04:23 |
| elky | haakon87, 2 diff people. | 04:23 |
| jewroot | Na dun. | 04:23 |
| theadmin | slackster: Yes, however, the preffered way is "do-release-upgrade" | 04:24 |
| slackster | zoidfarb: ok, I just want to upgrade the packages, but also kernel updates, but not the dist | 04:24 |
| haakon87 | Yeah, you're right. my mistake,. | 04:24 |
| slackster | what can I run? | 04:24 |
| MobiusJedi | how do i make myself root? | 04:24 |
| neji | well thanks a lot guys =) um is there a way i can save this channel for next time i want to join ? i am using Xchat(completely new to irc chats and such. | 04:24 |
| haakon87 | MobiusJedi: What do you want? | 04:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | MobiusJedi, why do you need root? | 04:24 |
| jewroot | i need root too | 04:24 |
| haakon87 | sudo <command> makes that command run as root. | 04:24 |
| jewroot | give me root on xubuntu please | 04:24 |
| MobiusJedi | oh let me tell you. . . | 04:24 |
| jewroot | it says i need invitation =/ | 04:24 |
| haakon87 | sudo bash gives you a root shell. | 04:25 |
| MobiusJedi | my system won't boot up | 04:25 |
| theadmin | haakon87: sudo bash is a fracking bad idea. | 04:25 |
| zoidfarb | Does anyone know anything about installing packages to other partitions? | 04:25 |
| jewroot | my kernel failed to boot | 04:25 |
| jewroot | wat do | 04:25 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Use "sudo -i", not "sudo bash" as haakon87 said | 04:25 |
| MobiusJedi | so, I'm attempting to edit etc/passwd file (backed up) to remove the user i just added | 04:25 |
| zoidfarb | "sudo su" | 04:25 |
| MobiusJedi | cuz that was the last thing i did before it stopped booting | 04:25 |
| zoidfarb | will give you a root prompt | 04:25 |
| haakon87 | theadmin: If he wants to have root, then he should be told the truth. I'm a firm believer in "Enough rope to hang yourself with". | 04:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | zoidfarb, i'm afraid that's a non-trivial thing to do, it's probably possible - but not worth the effort | 04:25 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: you can mount another partition in a part of your file system. E.g. you could mount /home in another partition, or /usr or anything else. You don't need to do this on a per-package basis... You could also resize your partition. | 04:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | zoidfarb, don't give that direction to people, it isn't supported in the channel | 04:26 |
| slackster | theadmin: "upgrade-full" is apparently wrong syntax, how can I do similar? | 04:26 |
| haakon87 | MobiousJedi: does the recovery shell work? | 04:26 |
| wgrant | haakon87, zoidfarb: Please recommend 'sudo -i', and not 'sudo su' or 'sudo bash' or anything else like that. | 04:26 |
| theadmin | slackster: What exactly would you like to do? | 04:26 |
| wgrant | haakon87, zoidfarb: But avoid recommending anything like that except as a last resort. | 04:27 |
| zoidfarb | alkisg, my home is already mounted on a different partition | 04:27 |
| slackster | theadmin: upgrade won't update the kernel. | 04:27 |
| jewroot | Is there a way to view porn on YouTube? | 04:27 |
| slackster | I want to get all updates | 04:27 |
| MobiusJedi | haakon87: it tried to. . . I tried recovery on each of the 3 kernels i had | 04:27 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: right, you could do that for other directories as well. | 04:27 |
| jewroot | Is there a way to view porn on YouTube? | 04:27 |
| theadmin | slackster: Are "linux-image-generic" and "linux-headers-generic" packages installed? | 04:27 |

| slackster | theadminlet me check | 04:28 |
| kocmodpom | i'm audi 5000 | 04:28 |
| haakon87 | wgrant: I did do that, and I did not mean to recommend that, he asked how he could achieve root. If he wanted a root shell, then sudo bash would be the correct answer. | 04:28 |
| Raiddinn | I need help installing koala | 04:28 |
| wgrant | haakon87: No, sudo -i is the correct answer. | 04:28 |
| wgrant | 'sudo bash' is never correct. | 04:28 |
| elky | Raiddinn, however accurate this is really *NOT* the place to discuss that. | 04:28 |
| MobiusJedi | haakon87: the first mildly successful recovery asked me to do fsck manually, which got as far as loading the startup splash, but every time I just got a mount error for sda1 | 04:29 |
| Raiddinn | I mostly just wanted to shut him up, sorry | 04:29 |
| zoidfarb | alkisg, but I've already got stuff in all those other directories, so I don't understand how I would move those | 04:29 |
| === WindPower is now known as WindPowdon | ||
| zoidfarb | alisg, without major system breakage | 04:29 |
| Raiddinn | seriously though, as soon as I hit install my PC freezes when installing koala | 04:29 |
| haakon87 | what exactly is so bad about it? | 04:29 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: one way would be to move them from a live cd. But first, why are you not considering to resize your partition instead? | 04:30 |
| theadmin | aargh, what on earth was the flash package? | 04:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | zoidfarb, may i ask, how big is your root partition? | 04:30 |
| haakon87 | theadmin: the flash support thingy? | 04:30 |
| slackster | theadmin: no at least one of those packages is not installed | 04:30 |
| haakon87 | ubuntu-restricted-extras have flash, mp3 and so on. | 04:30 |
| pwnkiller | hi | 04:30 |
| theadmin | slackster: Install those both | 04:30 |
| pwnkiller | am i unmuted yet | 04:30 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Nah, mp3 is something i don't need | 04:30 |
| theadmin | pwnkiller: Yes. | 04:30 |
| zoidfarb | alksig, zykotik9, I'm on a little eee netbook, it has two SSD drives, one 4 GB and one 16 GB. I have the 4 GB as my root, and /home as the 16 GB | 04:31 |
| zoidfarb | but the 4 GB is basically full | 04:31 |
| pwnkiller | how do i find the directoery containing the package source code | 04:31 |
| zoidfarb | I bought a 32 GB SD card | 04:31 |
| Dougdoug4 | Hey. I'm on Ubuntu and I want to install Windows 7 over it. When I try to install Windows 7 it tells me it can only be installed over NTFS and that my filesystem or whatever is unrecognized | 04:31 |
| Dougdoug4 | How do I fix this | 04:31 |
| slackster | theadmin: linux-image-2.6.28-17-virtual is installed, I want to update to linux-image-2.6.28-18-virtual | 04:31 |
| theadmin | zoidfarb: I don't think you can install anything on a SD card | 04:31 |
| zoidfarb | and I want to install some non-essential apps on the SD card | 04:31 |
| theadmin | slackster: Oh damn, i thought you have a generic image *facepalm* | 04:32 |
| Raiddinn | use a win95 or win98 boot disk and Fdisk the partition doug | 04:32 |
| zoidfarb | theadmin, you can boot/run your whole system from the SD if you want to. I've done it to play with alternate OSes | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dougdoug4, boot from a LiveCD and use gparted to delete your current install... | 04:32 |
| theadmin | slackster: install "linux-image-virtual" and "linux-headers-virtual" then | 04:32 |
| haakon87 | Dougdoug4: If you want to uninstall Ubuntu, just backup your personal files, and delete the partitions. This can be done with the Windows 7 install DVD. | 04:32 |
| theadmin | zoidfarb: o_O | 04:32 |
| slackster | theadmin: ok thanks | 04:32 |
| haakon87 | You don't need a livedisc. | 04:32 |
| Dougdoug4 | ZykoticK9, so your saying use my Ubuntu LiveCD, and delete my current Ubuntu installation with gparted | 04:32 |
| Dougdoug4 | and ten install windows? | 04:32 |
| kalmi | Dougdoug4, I am pretty sure you can delete the partition from the installer.... Click Advanced and Delete | 04:32 |
| kalmi | or something like that | 04:33 |
| theadmin | zoidfarb: Okay, i'm a noob | 04:33 |
| slackster | theadmin: after that how do I grade? | 04:33 |
| haakon87 | Dougdoug4: Windows7's installation cd have the tools you need on the installation disc,. | 04:33 |
| haakon87 | *disc. | 04:33 |
| slackster | theadmin: over the GUI it's easy.. | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dougdoug4, against all my instincts, yes that's what i'm recommending to you | 04:33 |
| theadmin | slackster: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 04:33 |
| ae86-drifter | i just changed my GFX card from an nvidia to an ATI card and i cant get it out of 'low graphics mode' i installed and enabled the ATI driver | 04:33 |
| Dougdoug4 | wow ZykoticK9 way to call me an idiot | 04:33 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: You'd better move the system partition to the 16 Gb SSD. You can copy partitions with gparted (from a live usb stick), but be careful while doing that, do a little reading first. | 04:33 |
| kalmi | Dougdoug4, I have to agree with ZykoticK9 :/ | 04:33 |
| haakon87 | Dougdoug4, you went on an Ubuntu forum to ask for help about windows. | 04:33 |
| haakon87 | Not to be rude but... He did help you, didn't he? | 04:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | I went on an Ubuntu forum? | 04:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | show me thE POST | 04:34 |
| haakon87 | Channel. | 04:34 |
| haakon87 | Sorry, a typo. | 04:34 |
| zoidfarb | this is an ubuntu forum | 04:34 |
| zoidfarb | or, well, channel | 04:34 |
| theadmin | alkisg: Correct me if i'm wrong, but how on earth can copying damage the data? | 04:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | and I am most certainly not asking for Windows help | 04:34 |
| haakon87 | Yes you are. | 04:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS | 04:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | i am most certinaly not | 04:35 |
| haakon87 | "How do I install windows?" | 04:35 |
| zoidfarb | @alkisg, so you would suggest throwing "home" on the SD, and put the system partition on the 16 GB SSD? | 04:35 |
| sqwertle | Is there any SMS tool for Ubuntu that can both receive and send SMS? | 04:35 |
| Dougdoug4 | i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS | 04:35 |
| haakon87 | Is essentially what you're asking. | 04:35 |
| Dougdoug4 | i am most certinaly not | 04:35 |
| Dougdoug4 | i'm on Ubuntu trying to figure out how to make my filesystem NTFS | 04:35 |

| pwnkiller | how do i find a directory containing a packages sourde code? | 04:35 |
| theadmin | Dougdoug4: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-progs && sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/whatever" | 04:35 |
| LoRez | Dougdoug4: why are you spamming? | 04:35 |
| alkisg | theadmin: I didn't say anything like that. I just told him to be careful. For example, he might not be able to boot if he doesn't fix grub... | 04:35 |
| haakon87 | He probably just hit Ctrl+v one time too many. | 04:35 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: yes | 04:35 |
| Raiddinn | anyone know why I wouldn't even be able to install Koala even 1%? I get a line across my screen with lots of different colors and complete freeze every time I hit install | 04:36 |
| kalmi | sqwertle, do you need a gui tool? | 04:36 |
| pwnkiller | ??? | 04:36 |
| mneptok | Raiddinn: corrupt disc image? | 04:37 |
| haakon87 | Anyway Dougdoug4, you're asking how to make windows overwrite your Ubuntu partitions, this is a Windows problem. Had you asked how to make Ubuntu install over Windows, it would be an Ubuntu problem. | 04:37 |
| theadmin | Raiddinn: A damaged disc | 04:37 |
| zoidfarb | alkisg, what do I do with my little 4 GB SSD then? | 04:37 |
| alkisg | zoidfarb: make it /home | 04:37 |
| mneptok | Raiddinn: m5sum it or run the media check from the boot menu | 04:37 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Dude. He just wants an NTFS filesystem. NOT windows. | 04:37 |
| sqwertle | kalmi: I would prefer one. I was hoping to find something similar to Konversation but for SMS | 04:37 |
| haakon87 | theadmin: Nope, here's his original post: "Hey. I'm on Ubuntu and I want to install Windows 7 over it. When I try to install Windows 7 it tells me it can only be installed over NTFS and that my filesystem or whatever is unrecognized" | 04:38 |
| zoidfarb | theoretically, you can install/run Ubuntu on an NTFS drive, right | 04:38 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Oh. | 04:38 |
| theadmin | haakon87: Guess i wasn't online during zat | 04:38 |

| Spaztic_One | kalmi: before I go about doing anything that was linked to, how much of that is for people with no sound, and for people experiencing what I described? | 05:16 |

| dm_ | Is it in the repository? | 05:17 |

| alkisg | dm_: it's preinstalled, actually. You don't see it in your menus? | 05:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | dm_, OpenOffice is HUGE i would find something smaller to play with | 05:17 |
| dm_ | Well, I'm on a netbook so I'm running xubuntu | 05:18 |
| Losha | dm_: what ZykoticK9 just said... | 05:18 |
| kalmi | Spaztic_One, well... dunno:) Try ALSA, that can't hurt. PulseAudio used to have a lot of funny problems. | 05:18 |

| Losha | Spaztic_One: I had good luck with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html | 05:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, i can't even think of a larger package then OOo | 05:19 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: that's just it tho, I used the partition editor to delete ntfs and create ext3 and a swap so i could install linux (windows needed to be installed from scratch if i wanted to use it again anyway) | 05:19 |
| dm_ | Well, I'm trying to "unzip" it through terminal, but it isnt creating a new folder that it is unzipped to. Should I be using the zxf or a different command? | 05:20 |
| Raiddinn | openoffice is written in Java, right? not C? | 05:20 |
| git__ | is there xchat screenlet? | 05:20 |
| git__ | or irc screenlet? | 05:20 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: netbeans is 237 MB big. | 05:20 |
| Losha | dm_: use xvzf and you can watch it unpack... | 05:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, netbeans - gotta find out what that is ;) | 05:21 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: ntfs doesn't have open specs, so the linux driver for it is written using reverse engineering. I wouldn't trust any non-microsoft fsck tools for it (that's why I don't use it on linux systems). | 05:21 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: an IDE | 05:21 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: what are you trying to do again? | 05:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, interesting (i'm not a developer, and thus don't feel bad for not knowing it) | 05:22 |
| dm_ | Losha: Thanks, I will try that out | 05:22 |
| Guest24245 | I have a 1.3g file. Whats the absolute fastest way to share it? Dropbox takes forever. | 05:22 |
| MobiusJedi | losha: lol, make karmic 9.10 boot again without wiping the drive. . . don't have any space left to backup files | 05:22 |
| mtx_init | Guest24245: likely an ftp server | 05:22 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Dropbox is slow :/ Try uploading to somewhere, best idea would be some filehost with ftp (QShare is one of those, for instance) | 05:23 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: what does the ntfs partition have to do with karmic being able to boot or not? If you have it in /etc/fstab, just comment it out... | 05:23 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: so then, linux can't be trusted to delete NTFS either? | 05:23 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: it used to boot? What happened? | 05:23 |
| Guest24245 | theadmin and qshare is fast and easy? | 05:23 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: deleting NTFS is an MBR thing, for which the specs are open. | 05:23 |
| alkisg | So it's safe. | 05:23 |
| Guest24245 | I will be sharing with someone who isnt too bright computer speaking | 05:23 |
| kalmi | Guest24245, never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes | 05:23 |
| MobiusJedi | interesting. . . | 05:23 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Fast... quite fast. Easy? Just register, connect to ftp.qshare.com with your name and password trough the menu, and copy the file to "uploads" | 05:24 |
| Losha | Guest24245: burn it to a dvd and send the dvd... | 05:24 |
| MobiusJedi | in file browser, sda1 properties says it's an ext3, but fsck returned the ntfs error on it | 05:24 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: And as for downloading, it's just a link, there one has to click "Free" and "Download the file" | 05:24 |
| Spaztic_One | losha and kalmi :: I don't have either of the menus described. Kalmi, double clicking on the sound control doesn't bring anything up, and Losha, my sound config panel doesn't have that tab, or one that looks like it. | 05:24 |
| Guest24245 | thank you theadmin | 05:25 |
| MobiusJedi | karmic booted yesterday. . . last thing I did was add a new user, restarted, wouldn't boot | 05:25 |
| kalmi | Spaztic_One, are you running ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| Losha | Spaztic_One: that's ok, the menu part is for an earlier distro. Just skip over that part and do the rest... | 05:25 |
| Spaztic_One | yes, 9.1 | 05:25 |
| Spaztic_One | 9.10* | 05:25 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: what does `sudo fdisk -l` tell you? | 05:25 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: haven't you been working on this all day? | 05:25 |
| Losha | dm_: I prefer not to PM, so people can follow along. What isn't working? | 05:26 |
| dm_ | Okay, I used that command, and it appears that it has been unpacked, but the folder never appears | 05:27 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: says sda1 is HPFS/NTFS | 05:27 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: you remember well. . . I had a 4ish hour break for band practice tho | 05:27 |
| Losha | dm_: which folder should it have unpacked into? What happens if you open a terminal and type ls -l (that's all lower case Ls) | 05:27 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: and it's supposed to be ext3 and to have karmic in it? | 05:27 |
| Guest24245 | theadmin the qshare website isnt loading | 05:28 |
| MobiusJedi | yeah, still has all ubuntu's system files | 05:28 |
| Guest24245 | this isnt a good representation of their speed, sir | 05:28 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for us? | 05:28 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Where exactly are you going? it's qshare.com | 05:28 |
| Guest24245 | theadmin yeah thats where Im going | 05:28 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: how would you know that it has the system files? Are you able to mount it? | 05:28 |
| MobiusJedi | oops, meant to do that too: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tR4GgPDF | 05:28 |
| Guest24245 | been loading for 5 minutes now and I have a really fast connection | 05:28 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Hm, loads in a few seconds over here usually. | 05:29 |
| Guest24245 | try it now, if you would | 05:29 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Maybe a maintenace, damn them | 05:29 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: i can read the partition, but can't write | 05:29 |
| dm_ | Losha: When I type that, I see all my folders and files in my home folder. The tarball shows up, but the folder it unpacked into never does | 05:29 |
| Guest24245 | np | 05:29 |
| Guest24245 | im uploading to my own ftp | 05:29 |
| Guest24245 | not too fast though | 05:29 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: while mounted, can you post the output of `mount` ? | 05:29 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: Ah indeed, according to DFEOJM it's down | 05:29 |
| alkisg | Ah, got it | 05:29 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: so, tell me if I'm right on this: | 05:30 |
| Losha | dm_: then either you got the unpack command wrong, or you're looking in the wrong place... | 05:30 |
| Guest24245 | theadmin have any other alternative? | 05:30 |
| Guest24245 | my ftp is slow as balls too. :< | 05:30 |
| dm_ | Shouldn't it unpack into the "home" folder, or atleast the one the tar file is in? | 05:30 |
| theadmin | Guest24245: There are a few i know, but they have too much ads on them and limit the speed | 05:30 |
| === Guest24245 is now known as aybabtu | ||
| Losha | MobiusJedi: you appear to have 3 different disks, only one of which has a linux filesystem on it (/dev/sdb) | 05:31 |
| alkisg | Your linux files are on /dev/sdb1, NOT on /dev/sda1. The reason you can't boot is because you're trying to boot from sda1... | 05:31 |
| alkisg | Right? | 05:31 |
| MobiusJedi | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/EwYYU8mn | 05:31 |
| === aybabtu is now known as Guest13742 | ||
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: on the second pastebin /dev/sda1 is *not* mounted. So you can't be seeing its files. | 05:31 |
| MobiusJedi | wow, i've gotten my head turned around | 05:31 |
| Losha | alkisg: that's how it looks to me.... | 05:32 |
| MobiusJedi | that makes some sense | 05:32 |
| skraps | mobius: dont run into anything, ;) | 05:32 |
| Spaztic_One | losha :: Thanks mate, folowing that seems to have solved it all. | 05:32 |
| MobiusJedi | skraps: lol, thanks | 05:32 |
| chrome | hey kids | 05:33 |
| dm_ | Losha: Shouldn't it unpack into the folder which the tar file is in. If not, can I point it to one specifically? | 05:33 |
| Losha | Spaztic_One: here's hoping it will stay fixed. Some people have found sound fails again for no apparent reason later on... | 05:33 |
| chrome | I have an apple keyboard, I want the function keys to be function keys, anyone know how to do that? I want to use Fn+F11 for volume, for instance, instead of Fn+F11 for F11. | 05:34 |
| Losha | dm_: usually it unpacks into the current folder, but depending on how the filenames are arranged on the tarfile, they might unpack elsewhere. They may even overwrite some of your system files if they were packed incorrectly. That's another reason to 'start small'.... | 05:34 |
| MobiusJedi | ok, now i'm running fsck on the correct part | 05:34 |
| dinosaurvskitten | I'm trying to find a simple (preferably command line) timer application that can keep track of how much time I spend on what. Ideally, all I'd have to do is type something like "start X" when I start doing X and then "stop" when I'm done. Then I'd have some log that tells me how long I spent working X, Y and Z over some time frame. Any suggestions? | 05:34 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: progress at last... | 05:35 |
| MaxHR | Hello, I am testing a few distros for ease of use, first tested Mandriva One, as it included prop drivers and plugins on one cd, is there a similar install for ubuntu? | 05:35 |
| Spaztic_One | Losha :: Ah, well, I'll make sure to pester somebody if that happens. | 05:35 |
| Losha | Spaztic_One: we'll be here.... | 05:35 |
| chrome | dinosaurvskitten: doesn't sound hard to write. | 05:35 |
| theadmin | MaxHR: Propertiary drivers are downloadable from the System - Admininstration - Hardware Drivers menu | 05:35 |
| dinosaurvskitten | chrome, yeah I just launched vim, I was just wondering if someone else had done it before me :p | 05:35 |
| MobiusJedi | i know, right? | 05:35 |
| chrome | dinosaurvskitten: I've seen time tracking apps from time to time, but I think most have a gui. | 05:36 |
| theadmin | MaxHR: As for flash, Java and mp3 codecs... "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" will give em to ya | 05:36 |
| dante123 | hi all, I DESPERATELY need help. I have just installed 9.10 and I cannot get resolution of 1440x900 to work with my Acer x193w and nvidia 9800 gtx+ although this worked under 9.04... | 05:36 |
| MaxHR | theadmin: so they aren't included on the disc? (I need all that on the media, as the computer being installed on is on dialup) | 05:37 |
| chrome | dante123: have you installed the restricted drivers? | 05:37 |
| Losha | dinosaurvskitten: you could have a very simple one where 'start' is an alias for e.g. 'echo started $\* >> logfile' (I forget the exact syntax). The hard part is you have to always remember to type start and stop... | 05:37 |
| MobiusJedi | does this tell anyone anything? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/0wMYQzrt | 05:37 |
| MobiusJedi | (result of fsck) | 05:37 |
| dante123 | I believe I have encountered this error before...but cant remember how I fixed it previously.....and YES chrome restricted driver is there but max resolution is not | 05:37 |
| theadmin | MaxHR: No, it can't be on the disc cause not everyone needs it... And i've no idea how to put it on one | 05:37 |
| alkisg | dinosaurvskitten: e.g. `time gedit` will tell you how long that needed. | 05:37 |
| chrome | dante123: try removing the xorg.conf and then run nvidia-settings after restarting X | 05:38 |
| MaxHR | theadmin: are there any respins of ubuntu that do this? | 05:38 |
| dante123 | I believe I added lines to the xorg.conf but cant remember and googling gets me a bunch of contradictory stuff | 05:38 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: yes, it tells me the filesystem is now fine. You should now be able to do a grub install using it.... | 05:38 |
| theadmin | MobiusJedi: It means you made a hard shutdown/reboot which corrupted the system | 05:38 |
| chrome | sudo nvidia-settings, and don't merge the config when you save it out | 05:38 |
| theadmin | MaxHR: Linux Mint is one of those | 05:38 |
| MaxHR | righton, I will check into that, thx | 05:38 |
| theadmin | MobiusJedi: Seems it got fixed though | 05:38 |
| dante123 | chrome did that once and resolution is worse with only 640 x 480 and 320 something being choices | 05:38 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: cat you do: cat /media/disk/etc/fstab ? | 05:38 |
| chrome | Losha: haha, she could write it to .plan :D | 05:38 |
| dante123 | should I uninstall restricted drivers first | 05:38 |
| Losha | chrome: ? | 05:39 |
| MobiusJedi | mk... let's see | 05:39 |
| chrome | Losha: the start/stop thing. | 05:39 |
| chd | how do I set my drives to automatically boot when ubuntu starts up? someone told me about fstab but I don't know how to edit it. | 05:39 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: no such file or directory | 05:39 |
| dante123 | chrome should i uninstall nvidia restricted driver first...and see if I can get 1440x900 without it first??? | 05:40 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: mount the disk first, from the 'places' menu | 05:40 |
| chrome | dante123: i don't see the point in doing that | 05:40 |
| chrome | dante123: the hardware obviously works | 05:40 |
| chrome | dante123: try running nvidia-xconfig | 05:40 |
| Losha | chrome: yes, any convenient file will do for holding the log, it's just lines of text. We'd add timestamps of course, which I forgot to do... | 05:40 |
| MobiusJedi | alkisg: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5vCLrN2X | 05:41 |
| dante123 | chrome I ran nvidia-xconfig and got this: VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 05:41 |
| dante123 | Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default | 05:41 |
| dante123 | Screen". | 05:41 |
| alkisg | MobiusJedi: erm, why do you have /proc in it? | 05:41 |
| alkisg | Ah, nm | 05:42 |
| MobiusJedi | I couldn't even guess | 05:42 |
| alkisg | Go ahead and try to boot it | 05:42 |
| MobiusJedi | k, catch ya on the flipside | 05:42 |
| dante123 | schrome shall I do this first: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:42 |
| theadmin | dante123: Woah, hold that, that file might be important | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, perhaps move the xorg.conf rather then delete, then run "sudo nvidia-xconfig", then run "gksuo nvidia-settings" and it should work | 05:43 |
| dante123 | I did backj it up first | 05:43 |
| Losha | alkisg: the proc is a 9.X thing. I see it in my 9.10 fstab.... | 05:43 |
| theadmin | dante123: Okay, try then. Hope you know how to get it back if X crashes ;) | 05:43 |
| theadmin | Losha: Hm, wasn't there in 9.04 | 05:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | MobiusJedi, why is / ext2? | 05:44 |
| Losha | theadmin: dunno, must be new in 9.10. Something else to go wrong... | 05:44 |
| chrome | dinosaurvskitten: http://blog.christopherpitzer.com/2009/timebook-command-line-time-tracking/ | 05:44 |
| chrome | dinosaurvskitten: looks exactly like what you're after | 05:44 |
| dante123 | <ZykoticK9> did as you said....now what (nothing happened from what I could see) | 05:44 |
| chrome | dante123: I got that too, when I ran it the first time. | 05:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, did you restart nvidia-settings? | 05:44 |
| tato_42 | will eye candy work in gnome | 05:45 |
| theadmin | Losha: Have that too so i guess everything's fine | 05:45 |
| theadmin | tato_42: Just turn on compiz and enjoy | 05:45 |
| Zenker | will someone help me with the make command? | 05:45 |
| dante123 | <ZykoticK9> i ran sudo nvidia-xconfig like u said and then gksudo nvidia-settings | 05:45 |
| tato_42 | thanks | 05:45 |
| dante123 | <ZykoticK9> now what | 05:45 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: did you do a grub install before rebooting? | 05:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, and do you have the resolution that you want? | 05:46 |
| dante123 | no | 05:46 |
| Lasivian | Where would I find details about why my machine hangs when I shut it down? | 05:46 |
| Losha | theadmin: yeah, it's just for the proc filesystem... | 05:46 |
| Lasivian | thanks | 05:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, no idea then, but with my step you should now be able to save to xorg from nvidia-settings without error | 05:46 |
| theadmin | Losha: what on earth is it | 05:46 |
| dante123 | 1360x768 is max yet this acer x193w will do 1440x900....had it doing before fresh install of 9.10 | 05:46 |
| Losha | theadmin: the proc interface? | 05:47 |
| theadmin | Losha: Doesn't tell me much :D | 05:47 |
| dante123 | I believe that originally under 9.04 I had to put sync or refresh parameters in xorg.conf as well as some modeline comment | 05:47 |
| dante123 | but I just cant remember.....darn | 05:47 |
| Losha | theadmin: it's been around for a while, it's an interface to the kernel, rigged up to look like a filesystem. Do an ls in /proc and poke around (don't write anything there though).... | 05:48 |
| dante123 | ZykoticK9 do I need to logout or restart for any of the commands you gave me | 05:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, no - that just fixes xorg for nvidia-settings really | 05:48 |
| Losha | dante123: no backup then? | 05:49 |
| Spaztic_One | Is there a way to increase the area in which you can grab a window to stretch it? It is currently a single pixel wide which is a pain to try and grab. | 05:49 |
| theadmin | Losha: That's uber-complicated for me :/ Not much with Linux, around 1.5 years | 05:49 |
| veebull | anybody here use TurnKey Linux appliances? | 05:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Spaztic_One, alt+middle_mouse_button and click drag anywhere in window | 05:49 |
| Losha | theadmin: it's pretty advanced usage, don't mess around in there.... | 05:49 |
| dante123 | <ZykoticK9> okay, i ran sudo nvidia-settings then saved the configuration file....now I think I have to edit it and add mode or modeline comment...this might be starting to come back to me. | 05:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, well i can't personally help with those settings so best of luck | 05:51 |
| MobiusJedi | drat. . . same error I've been getting. failure to mount filesystem | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | MobiusJedi, is your root partition really ext2? | 05:51 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: I think you missed a step. You need to do a grub (re)install.... | 05:51 |
| dante123 | let you know in a minute if it works...thanks for help anyway....i MIGHT be back | 05:51 |
| MobiusJedi | ZykoticK9: yes | 05:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | MobiusJedi, k just checking | 05:52 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: yeah, i was gonna ask what to do exactly | 05:52 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: what release is it again. 9.10? | 05:52 |
| MobiusJedi | yes | 05:52 |
| Losha | ZykoticK9: ext2 isn't ideal, but it shouldn't matter for these purposes.... | 05:53 |
| Spaztic_One | ZykoticK9: I was about to say "that only stretches the bottom part, and its not anywhere, it only works when close to the bottom" when I realized that "hmm, only close to the bottom... maybe the side will make that side move: lo and behold, it does. Thanks mate. | 05:53 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: that means you have grub2. Wait a second... | 05:53 |
| Losha | !grub2 | 05:53 |
| 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 | 05:53 |
| ki__ | HELP! mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy | 05:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Spaztic_One, :) | 05:53 |
| ki__ | its not mounted (checking df -kh) | 05:53 |
| dinosaurvskitten | chrome, timebook looks pretty neat, thanks! | 05:54 |
| dinosaurvskitten | chrome, I ended up using "/usr/bin/time -f "%e $@" -o time_log -a read" for now :) | 05:55 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: you need to go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 and follow section 7: Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD, except when they use /dev/sda1, you use /dev/sdb1 | 05:55 |
| pwnkiller | hey if i type into terminal make what should followit | 05:57 |
| MobiusJedi | mk | 05:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | pwnkiller, installing sourcecode? | 05:57 |
| pwnkiller | make + what im tying to install a program frm a tar file | 05:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | pwnkiller, 1) ./configure 2) make 3) sudo make install | 05:58 |
| theadmin | pwnkiller: Depends on the program. Read the included README | 05:58 |
| pwnkiller | just make? | 05:58 |
| pwnkiller | i get an error msg | 05:58 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: the *exact* text of the error msg? | 05:58 |
| pwnkiller | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop | 05:59 |
| theadmin | ...lol... I just did "cat ~/somefile | less" instead of "less ~/somefile"... I'm getting crazy with the console already | 05:59 |
| theadmin | pwnkiller: Did you do "./configure"? | 05:59 |
| pwnkiller | yes | 05:59 |
| theadmin | pwnkiller: Was it successful? | 05:59 |
| Marioux | hi there | 05:59 |
| pwnkiller | yes | 05:59 |
| Marioux | I need to uninstall virtualbox, wich I installed from the deb package | 05:59 |
| Marioux | anyone can help me? | 05:59 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: unlikely, since it didn't produce a makefile. Run configure again and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | 06:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Marine, do you get multiple entries with "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox" | 06:00 |
| theadmin | Marioux: Sure, just sudo apt-get remove virtualbox... or was it VirtualBox... | 06:00 |
| pwnkiller | (libxul-unstable mozilla-plugin) were not met: | 06:01 |
| pwnkiller | No package 'libxul-unstable' found | 06:01 |
| pwnkiller | No package 'mozilla-plugin' found | 06:01 |
| Marioux | theadmin: I tried that... no result at all | 06:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, more likely virtualbox-3.1 | 06:01 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: I can't tell from just those lines if those are fatal errors, or just advisory warnings, but since you didn't get a makefile, I assume the former.... | 06:01 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: are you trying to build mozilla? | 06:02 |
| Marioux | ZykoticK9: no result at all with that command | 06:02 |
| pwnkiller | k i'll paste to the link above | 06:02 |
| pwnkiller | no brb | 06:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Marioux, then you didn't install with a DEB file i believe | 06:02 |
| jera_mee | hello | 06:02 |
| MobiusJedi | I'm confused on this step: Now you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file to fit your system | 06:02 |
| jera_mee | im newbie on using ubuntu | 06:02 |
| Marioux | ZykoticK9: I've downloaded the .deb package from the sun virtualbox web page | 06:03 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: fine, I'll just sit here and try and guess which program you're trying to build.... | 06:03 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: there's nothing you need to configure in there, just skip over that step... | 06:03 |

| jera_mee | may i ask u something? | 06:04 |
| Losha | !ask | jera_mee | 06:04 |
| ubottu | jera_mee: 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. :-) | 06:04 |
| Bonster | nop | 06:04 |
| Marioux | ZykoticK9: no result at all | 06:05 |
| Marioux | but I'm seeing virtualbox running right now | 06:05 |

| Marioux | ZykoticK9: yes I do... its a .run archive | 06:06 |
| Marioux | sorry | 06:06 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: /boot/grub/menu.lst belongs to grub1, not grub2. Which livecd did you boot? | 06:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Marine, that's not a deb! | 06:06 |
| jera_mee | anyone know how to use my integrated camera so i can take picture with it? | 06:06 |

| MobiusJedi | 8.10, cuz that's what I have. . . are you telling me i have to track down a blank cd? | 06:07 |

| pwnkiller | ok pasted http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/x4YhTRQa | 06:08 |
| jera_mee | hi kevin | 06:08 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: see this line "error: Package requirements (libxul-unstable mozilla-plugin) were not met" -- that's a fatal error, which is why you didn't get a makefile. You need to fix that before you can proceed... | 06:08 |
| maco | labyrinth1965: with the sansa plugged in, it should show in the sidebar in rhythmbox. click on it and you should be able to drag songs from the sansa to your library | 06:08 |
| pwnkiller | how/ | 06:09 |
| pwnkiller | ? | 06:09 |

| Kevin_Crux | with ubuntu 9.10 | 06:10 |
| dante123 | will do thanks for help...... | 06:10 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: no, I'm telling you that grub changed between 8.10 and 9.10. You *told* me you were running 9.10. The instructions for 8.10 are *different*. No wonder you haven't made much progress. Which is it? | 06:10 |
| Zenker | theadmin r u there? | 06:10 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: sorry, I can be slow on the uptake | 06:10 |
| linagee | does anyone know why lock and move are grayed out on my gnome panel on ubuntu 10.04? (how do I move things?) | 06:10 |
| maco | ardchoille: yes | 06:11 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: since you won't even tell me what program you're trying to build, how am I supposed to help... | 06:11 |
| pwnkiller | moonshine, i'm sorry | 06:11 |
| maco | labyrinth1965: at least, thats how my USB-mass-storage type mp3 players work, and i believe the sansa is also a USB mass storage type player | 06:11 |
| dante123 | http://pastebin.com/x6rb3p6v <ZykoticK9> I don't know which lines make it work....but I also added refresh rates from the spec page for my particular monitor | 06:11 |
| dante123 | thanks for your help | 06:11 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: computers kinda need attention to detail ya' know... And I still don't know which version you are running.... | 06:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | dante123, it's probably the HorizSync and VertRefresh that are required | 06:12 |
| harisund | Anyone know a good camera server that I can use to stream images from my webcam constantly to some web page? It should be viewable even on computers that don't run Java .. | 06:12 |
| linagee | harisund: what do you need that for? lol | 06:12 |
| dante123 | since it is working....should I just leave it or is there anything in there that you think is unecessary or redundant or perhaps not useful from a performance angel | 06:13 |
| linagee | harisund: NSFW? | 06:13 |
| dante123 | angle I mean ZykoticK9 | 06:13 |

| Losha | pwnkiller: type apt-cache search libxul and see if something suitable shows up. Same for mozilla-plugin (except there are so many plugins for mozilla, I don't know which it wants. Maybe there's something in the documentation?) | 06:14 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: live CD I have (using currently) is 8.10. I'm trying to fix 9.10 which won't boot | 06:14 |

| ZykoticK9 | Marioux, nice | 06:14 |
| Marioux | and the ./uninstall.sh | 06:15 |
| Marioux | :D | 06:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | Marioux, i'd imagine you'll need sudo with that command | 06:15 |
| ociugi | help! im having a problem with my samba i uninstall some program after that i got this message "Could not display "network:///"" how to fix this problem | 06:15 |
| Marioux | ZykoticK9: yes, forgot about that | 06:15 |

| Losha | MobiusJedi: ok, same rigmarole, only now with grub1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 06:16 |
| sje46 | well, anyways, my transmission isn't seeding, and someone told me that I should forward a port | 06:16 |
| pwnkiller | losha can i pm you the readme file? | 06:17 |
| sje46 | I didn't even know what a port was, so I look at some manuals | 06:17 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: See the section: The GUI Way: Using the Alternate/Install CD and Overwriting the Windows bootloader | 06:17 |

| Losha | pwnkiller: I s'pose so. No guarantee I'll be able to make sense of it though. Isn't there a repo version of moonshine you can install? So much less work if you can... | 06:18 |
| ajlsunrise | hello | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, you should right now the name servers in resolv.conf "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to see them, then right click on the network icon in the panel and edit the settings for eth0 if you're using a wired connection, there is an option in there for static somewhere | 06:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/right/write | 06:19 |

| ajlsunrise | i've got a question about c++. trying to compile source code and it gets to this line: 'cout << "hello"' and throws an error saying cout is an 'undeclared identifier' | 06:19 |
| sje46 | zykes-, nameserver 192.168.1.1 ...also, I'm on a wireless connection | 06:20 |
| indus | ajlsunrise, why is there a quote before cout | 06:20 |
| Zenker | Losha there is no repo, i already tried this | 06:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | ajlsunrise, perhaps you should ask in ##c++ | 06:20 |
| sje46 | ZykoticK9, that was supposed to be for you | 06:21 |
| indus | ajlsunrise, yeah ask in #c++ | 06:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, that makes things easy then, it's your router | 06:21 |
| ajlsunrise | thanks. couldn't find it in the list | 06:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, can you right click on the network icon on panel and find the settings for your wireless? | 06:22 |
| sje46 | I'm there | 06:23 |
| rabelais | is there any way to control a terminal that I don't have physical access to? (I didn't use screen on this terminal unfortunately) | 06:23 |

| MobiusJedi | ok, i'm tryin it the GUI way! | 06:23 |
| sje46 | yes, ZykoticK9 | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, Method dropdown for Manual | 06:23 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: patience. The readme doesn't tell me much. I'm reading web pages looking for a way to install moonshine | 06:23 |
| Losha | Zenker: so how do people use moonshine? | 06:24 |
| sje46 | then I just add an IP address? off the top of my head? | 06:24 |

| ZykoticK9 | sje46, it will have to be a 192.168.1.X where X is the machine IP | 06:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, netmask will be 255.255.255.0 - and gateway 192.168.1.1 | 06:25 |
| sje46 | ZykoticK9, so this IP would only apply for my laptop? | 06:25 |
| Losha | pwnkiller: Zenker: is this it? http://abock.org/moonshine/ | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, yes | 06:25 |
| sje46 | how do I find X? | 06:25 |

| sje46 | ZykoticK9, what will this do? Also...is this also how I can change the password to the wifi router? | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, if it doesn't work - set the network back to DHCP/automatic | 06:29 |
| sje46 | I know it probably isn't | 06:29 |
| Zenker | Losha from what im gathering it needs moonlight and 2 know where moonlight is | 06:29 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, how much time for "scanning" the hdd? is it much time? like minutes or seconds? | 06:29 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: no. normal operatios. | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, it will restart your networking and thus switch to your new static settings | 06:29 |

| sje46 | ZykoticK9, I am indeed | 06:31 |
| Kao | . | 06:32 |
| rabelais | lucid_interval: screen will do it if I launched it ahead of time, I need something where screen wasn't launched | 06:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, dunno why that didn't work? guess you can try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 06:32 |
| lucid_interval | Spaztic_one: did you try the simple things like ensuring recording volume is not muted under 'Capture' in Volume control? | 06:32 |
| kasun | this is regarding to enabling microphones in ubuntu. I tried to skype in my laptop(hp dv5) but my earphone is not turned on. My webcam is on, but not earphone. Device is recognized and headphone mic is picked correctly. Any help regarding this? | 06:33 |

| Losha | Zenker: pwnkiller: Ah. apt-get install xulrunner-1.9-dev gets me past the first error, but now there are new errors. This could go on all night. | 06:40 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, there are a few "usb" "usb1" usb2 on /media... but everyone is empty | 06:40 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: add yourself to usb group. i dont remember the exact name of the usb group | 06:40 |

| === ce_sombong is now known as ce_jelek | ||
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, you should probably restart your system and verify everything is working correctly (i certainly hope it is) | 06:41 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: that usb, usb1 etc are not partitions of your hdd? | 06:41 |
| Zenker | pwnkiller how about Linuxmediaplayer? | 06:41 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, they're all empty | 06:41 |
| === ce_jelek is now known as ce_vvvvvvvvvv2 | ||
| rabelais | lucid_interval: thanks for the point, I'll look around...it's a shame it's not easier to do, I thought retty would be exactly what I was looking for, but it turns out it's only fir i386....sigh | 06:41 |
| === ce_vvvvvvvvvv2 is now known as ce_12456 | ||

| Spaztic_One | lucid_interval: Ah, ok. As I'm sure it matters (since it was how I fixed my earlier sound problems), here is the site I got instructions from: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html Also worth noting, I'm using Karmic | 06:42 |
| Losha | Zenker: pwnkiller: apt-get install libglib2.0-dev gets me past the 2nd error. I now have a makefile! | 06:42 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, I missed the point | 06:42 |
| sje46 | ZykoticK9, okay, in a little bit. thanks :) | 06:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, :) | 06:43 |
| Losha | Zenker: pwnkiller: It built! I have no idea what to do with however.... | 06:43 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: if they are the partitions of your that ide-cum-usb hdd then your hdd is detected | 06:43 |
| Losha | Spaztic_One: still got microphone issues? | 06:43 |
| Zenker | losha rofl, good job :) | 06:43 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, I know... it seems to detect my hardware, but still can't mount it anywhere | 06:43 |
| sje46 | ZykoticK9, this will change my external IP? | 06:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | sje46, no - you can't change your external IP | 06:44 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: manual mount it | 06:44 |
| pwnkiller | k will try | 06:44 |
| * sje46 is confused. I can't? | 06:44 | |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, how? there is no /dev/sdb1 or anything like that | 06:44 |
| Spaztic_One | Losha: It was simply muted, but it is being recognized by Ubuntu, however, I am having issues getting other programs (though I have only tried one) to use it | 06:44 |
| lucid_interval | rabelais: retty seems to be exactly what you need. I also couldn't find an amd64 deb. But the source debs are there - want to compile? | 06:45 |

| Zenker | lusha so now we just type 'makeinstall' or is ther something else we need with that command? | 06:46 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: no paste the whole result of lsusb | 06:46 |
| rabelais | lucid_interval: you're not going to believe it...but the guys that wrote retty actually used i386 bytecode in their application....*grumbles* | 06:46 |
| Spaztic_One | Losha and lucid_interval :: I just tried recording using the "sound recorder" app. It works there, no problem. I am going to assume something somewhere in TeamSpeak 3 is causing, or find fault somewhere. | 06:46 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, ok, just a sec | 06:46 |
| abhi_nav | bugaloo: connect your hdd and check lsusb result and then remove your hdd and then check lsusb result. and be sure that lsusb detects your hdd | 06:47 |
| indus | rww, thanks and hi | 06:47 |

| indus | best is dmesg | tail for more mesasges bugaloo abhi_nav | 06:48 |
| Zenker | thank you losha | 06:48 |
| lucid_interval | Spaztic_one: I would also agree... the teamspeak 3 support FAQ doesn't have much that is enlightening me... | 06:48 |
| Losha | Spaztic_One: run alsamixer and make sure you enable mic, mic1 and anything labelled capture... | 06:48 |

| bugaloo | abhi_nav, my first paste was my dmesg output | 06:49 |

| indus | yeah the end of kernel messages with dmesg | tail | 06:50 |
| bugaloo | already did it | 06:50 |
| lucid_interval | Spaztic_one: under that I saw the following: Telling ALSA your game only needs playback | 06:50 |
| lucid_interval | Now, to enable your game to play sound you have to tell ALSA that your game will not need to record sound or anything - else ALSA will refuse to give your game the capability to play sounds, since TeamSpeak already has the rights to record, and no two programs should be able to. Issue these commands as root: | 06:50 |

| nmvictor | is debian the only linux that can run in my iBook which is a ppc? | 06:54 |
| abhi_nav | ppc? | 06:55 |
| rww | nmvictor: There's a community-supported PPC port of Ubuntu. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 06:55 |
| bugaloo | silv3r_m00n1, hm... not sure... I'd look "lspci" and get the board model | 06:55 |
| lucid_interval | nmvictor: AFAIK, yes. There used to be YDL - don't know if they still release stuff any more | 06:55 |
| rww | abhi_nav: PowerPC. Old Macs, mainly. | 06:55 |
| theadmin | nmvictor: Ubuntu is debian-based and has a pocket-pc release, so i think it will work for you | 06:55 |

| nmvictor | theadmin: lucid_interval rww , i hope i can have ubuntu or something else in my iBook, debian is let say 4BK, 4 releases before karmic in terms of develpment and updates, i think it lucks support so i just dont loke iit | 06:57 |
| Spaztic_One | lucid_interval: I am not currently looking to run TS3 with a game or anything. I am trying to get it to run by itself. | 06:57 |
| lucid_interval | nmvictor: but I can recommend Debian (and in particular Ubuntu) on the Mac. I recently installed Jaunty-PPC on a powerbook. Install was clean and easy. MOST things work (still having some issues with suspend). | 06:58 |
| bugaloo | abhi_nav, it seems to be a bit more detailed than dmesg output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mPK4z6ir | 06:58 |

| theadmin | almoxarife: Stop spamming will you | 07:00 |
| lucid_interval | nmvictor: Debian (raw) may be beginner-unfriendly, or a bit conservative in terms of updates or a bit minimalist in terms of installer. but the core of debian is exactly the same as the core of ubuntu | 07:01 |

| bugaloo | I didn't want to do that, but I have a free partition here, maybe I should install windows xp do try it only to see if it works :( | 07:07 |
| indus | bugaloo,yeah did you try manually mounting it | 07:07 |
| Spaztic_One | Uh oh. Looks like FloodBot2 has gone rogue. | 07:07 |

| CloCkWeRX | stupid user question: I'm told NFS is insecure (in that any machine can mount a server which is listening) - I'm reading about fstab and "sec=krb5p" mode at the moment - does that imply that the server can manage things (via Kerberos) much in the same way you'd manage ssh allowed certificates? | 07:11 |

| maco | itheos: that there are config files that need to be renamed in future versions is all its saying. that does *not* affect the command you are doing now, it simply was a good context for it to give the warning. when you upgrade to the next version of ubuntu is when that change will be necessary, and the upgrade will do it for you anyway | 07:19 |
| theadmin | itheos: Strange %) | 07:20 |
| Bear10 | When i run X11 from CLI it says its not installed, yet im on Ubuntu Desktop | 07:20 |

| indus | bugaloo, anyways i have to smoke :) see you later | 07:25 |

| bugaloo | indus, it's a ide hdd and I'm using a conversor usb->ide | 07:25 |
| bugaloo | ok, see you then | 07:25 |
| saurabh | @Spaztic_One: yes.. But through wired connection | 07:26 |
| saurabh | didnt get u @ortsvorsteher | 07:26 |
| pwnkiller | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/58P5BjyB someone tell me what i'm doing wrong | 07:27 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, did you followed the link ubottu gave you? does it help? | 07:27 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: I would just like to mention that online documentation did not help me when I was trying to get my wireless to work. I ended up just having to move my tower to a hard connection where the update managed to get whatever was needed. It started working as soon as it got all of the needed updates. | 07:27 |
| saurabh | see I followed http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/159161-solved-wireless-ubuntu-9-10-lenovo-laptop.html it addresses similar issue.. cause i knew its related to my broadcom wireless device.. | 07:28 |
| basncy | anyone help me? I found a statement of "#define _GNU_SOURCE 1" that appeared in the first line of a C source file,but the _GNU_SOURCE did not appeared in any other place.What is the usage of this line? | 07:28 |
| Vigo | Bear10: I found a page on Jaunty and such that discusses that, still looking,,,, | 07:28 |
| bugaloo | pwnkiller, did you try using root/sudo? | 07:28 |
| vicsar | 07:28 | |
| ortsvorsteher | Spaztic_One, whas there somethin wrong in documentation? | 07:28 |
| Kutakizukari | I'm trying to make a directory with command "mkdir ~/Sites/contrib/" but it returns "cannot create directory `/home/username/Sites/contrib': No such file or directory". What is going on? | 07:28 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher:see I followed http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/159161-solved-wireless-ubuntu-9-10-lenovo-laptop.html it addresses similar issue.. cause i knew its related to my broadcom wireless device.. | 07:28 |
| Kutakizukari | Even when I try it with sudo | 07:29 |
| rww | Kutakizukari: does ~/Sites/ exist? | 07:29 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, does it work now? | 07:29 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: no, it was that none of the suggested worked. I honestly have no idea why. | 07:29 |
| pwnkiller | yes... did you look at the terminal display i pasted on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/58P5BjyB | 07:29 |
| Kutakizukari | rww, no do I need to make it first? | 07:29 |
| rww | Kutakizukari: either make it first, or use mkdir -p ~/Sites/contrib/ | 07:29 |
| rww | Kutakizukari: (-p means "make Parent directories as needed") | 07:30 |
| Kutakizukari | rww, what does the -p stand for? | 07:30 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: nope. Seems like the driver is not getting loaded.. cause it does show in my system > administration > hardware drivers.. but its not activated and nothing happens even if i click on activate | 07:30 |
| pwnkiller | root/sudo... thats the sudo command correct? | 07:30 |
| bugaloo | pwnkiller, it seems to me you're using a user "eric" | 07:30 |
| Kutakizukari | rww, thank you | 07:30 |
| sine` | whats the easiest way to mount a cd image, that img being ubuntu because i cant access it as a cd from the package manager as i install it via USB | 07:30 |
| bugaloo | pwnkiller, ok... try "sudo make" instead "make" | 07:30 |
| rww | ubottu: iso | sine` | 07:30 |
| ubottu | sine`: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:30 |
| bugaloo | see what happens | 07:30 |
| ortsvorsteher | Spaztic_One, and your system sees the hardware in lsusb/lspci ? | 07:30 |
| pwnkiller | k i'll see what happens | 07:30 |
| pwnkiller | brb | 07:30 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: I thought adding wl to /etc/modules would do it | 07:30 |
| bugaloo | ok | 07:31 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: Yep. | 07:31 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, yes, this will be a part of the work... | 07:31 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: It is PCI, btw. | 07:31 |
| abraham_ | does anyone know how to fix no sound issue in 9.10 | 07:31 |
| ortsvorsteher | Spaztic_One, and in hardware drivers are some drivers to activate? | 07:31 |
| sine` | hte mountpoint is that the name of the mount | 07:32 |
| sine` | or where it will virtually be | 07:32 |
| sine` | can i get an exampke | 07:32 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: There were before I had Update Manager run, but currently, with my system updated, it only has a driver listed for my graphics card. | 07:32 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, my wlan devices works in ubuntu 8.04 and i dont know you hardware details, so i cannot help. sorry. i also followed the procedure and it worked for me | 07:32 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: Ohh! so do i have to wait untill lucid is out? | 07:32 |
| clrg | sine`: sudo mount -o loop /home/user/cd.iso /mnt/mountedcdimage | 07:32 |
| sine` | sudo mount -o loop ubuntu.iso /etc/mnt/myvirtualcd | 07:32 |
| sine` | YEA | 07:33 |
| Spaztic_One | ortsvorsteher: It is odd, but I'm not complaining as long as it works. | 07:33 |
| sine` | i was right is | 07:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, i dont hope so. is your device blacklisted? | 07:33 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) thats the O/P of my lspci | grep w | 07:33 |
| theadmin | Yeah i'm back | 07:34 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: how do i check if it is blacklisted? | 07:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, did you look at the blacklist/whitelist? if not, have a look... | 07:34 |
| saurabh | ortsvorsteher: No i didn't.. how to access it? | 07:35 |
| sine` | mount point does not exist | 07:35 |
| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, i looked at http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de if you are not familiar with german language, you have to find an english ubuntu forum | 07:35 |
| sine` | do i have to create a file | 07:35 |
| saurabh | ohh okay.. so ur german :) i'll take a look at the english version :) | 07:36 |

| ortsvorsteher | saurabh, hope you find somethin | 07:36 |
| GSF1200S | clrg, demonspork: cool, so I dont have to do anything.. Im new to ssh | 07:37 |
| saurabh | I hope so too! :( | 07:37 |
| ortsvorsteher | sine`, mkdir mountpoint | 07:37 |
| ortsvorsteher | sine`, change befor to dir where you like to create it, may you have to use sudo if the dir is under root | 07:37 |
| bugaloo | pwnkiller, it says you have no "npupp.h" file. try google to find out what package provides it | 07:37 |
| sine` | can i not just do mkdir /mnt/mountpoint | 07:38 |
| sine` | rather than change to that dir | 07:38 |

| dyek | Hi! I added a bunch of CONFIG_* that I thought was necessary for Xen DomU support in Ubuntu linux-image kernel package in debian.master/config/i386/config.flavour.generic file. After "debian/rules updateconfigs" and created the .deb package, much of those added CONFIG_* disappeared from the package's config-* file. Are they disappearing because I added it to the wrong flavor config file? Or are they simply not supported by the kernel source from the pa | 08:11 |
| dyek | ckage? I'm getting "Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel',..." when I launch the kernel as DomU. It seems to me that it is hopeless to try to recompile the Ubuntu kernel package hoping that it will fix the Xen DomU support. Does that sound correct? | 08:11 |
| Ardethian | Ubuntu IS a distribution, maybe you mean the version. | 08:11 |
| wgrant | dyek: Mainline kernels do not have dom0 support. You can't enable a feature that isn't there. | 08:13 |

| dyek | wgrant: I get Dom0 support in CentOS. I am trying to get DomU support in Ubuntu kernel. Debian kernel does support DomU. | 08:14 |
| wgrant | dyek: Using a horrible, huge, not-terribly-supportable set of patches that are not upstream. | 08:15 |

| dyek | wgrant: Not sure if I understand you. I am using a recent Xen Hypervisor package from gitco.de, which appears to be working. Debian's kernel works as DomU. It appears to me that Ubuntu's kernel is missing DomU support. Ubuntu kernel team discussed the problem here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008716.html, but I tried that CONFIG_M586TSC and CONFIG_M686 aren't the issue. The issue appears to be something else -- probably | 08:20 |
| dyek | making it difficult to enable DomU support rebuilding Ubuntu's kernel source package. | 08:20 |
| stevecam | wgrant, it wont without heavy modification, and you would have to really know what you are doing as you would have to mess around with a lot of undocumented windows crap | 08:20 |

| johnny_buffalo | hello, I am in needs of some assistance. SOmehow I messed up my read permissions on one of my folders on my ntfs partion. now it is unreadable in linux and windows 7. The file is still there under folder perssion changes in parent folder when applying to subfolders | 09:17 |
| johnny_buffalo | need some help recovering the folder | 09:17 |
| damagu | ZykoticK9: will that make it show up in nautilus? | 09:18 |
| Quan-Time | johnny_buffalo: thats a win7 issue | 09:18 |

| damagu | ZykoticK9: so I can drag and drop files | 09:18 |
| johnny_buffalo | i just discovered | 09:18 |
| johnny_buffalo | that | 09:18 |
| Quan-Time | in win7 you can take ownership of files, but i dont think ntfs-3g will alter permissions | 09:19 |
| johnny_buffalo | big problem | 09:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | damagu, you can use nautilus with nfs/samba shares sure | 09:19 |
| damagu | ZykoticK9: thatnks. I'll give it a try. Cheers | 09:19 |
| johnny_buffalo | is there any chance i can recover this folder? | 09:19 |

| |_ocke | i'm running 9.10 and it boots up to the login screen in full res with nvidia driver 99% of the time, but when i try to login with gnome session 95% of the time it tries to switch resolution (to the same resolution as the login screen) and it goes black | 09:38 |

| |_ocke | then it works | 09:39 |

| |_ocke | then about half the time | 09:40 |
| |_ocke | and would always switch to ttyS0 | 09:40 |
| ikonia | |_ocke: don't use dpkg-reconfigure, just manually hard code it in your Xorg.conf | 09:40 |
| eric__ | i'm getting a crapload of error msgs when i try to install moonshine... need help! | 09:40 |
| |_ocke | then later would only boot to video 1/10 times and switch to ttyS0 like 1/10 | 09:40 |

| TommoPuppy | i only have access to discs for ubuntus 5.04 and 7.04 right now. the only one i could start the installation process in was 5 | 09:44 |
| ikonia | pwnkiller: an ubuntu (9.10) release | 09:44 |
| pwnkiller | ho i dl .tar | 09:44 |

| TommoPuppy | so i was wondering if i could install it later using another method | 09:44 |
| |_ocke | my first ubuntu distro was breezy | 09:45 |
| * wgrant started with good old Warty. | 09:45 | |
| |_ocke | well the first one that i ran exclusively | 09:45 |
| |_ocke | and gave up all other OS's for | 09:45 |
| TommoPuppy | yeah I know that wgrant. I'm doing a computer science course at uni and i need to install linux, but since my normal computer is down and my other computer hasn't got enough hard drive space to partition i have no choice but to do a quick temporary fix on the old craptop | 09:45 |
| TommoPuppy | but yeah do i HAVE to install a boot loader during installation? | 09:45 |
| TommoPuppy | or can i do it later? | 09:46 |
| wgrant | TommoPuppy: Have you thought about Wubi? That will let you install Ubuntu into a file on your Windows partition. | 09:46 |
| ikonia | TommoPuppy: you would be very wise to do it during the install | 09:46 |
| TommoPuppy | I can't ikonia | 09:46 |

| TommoPuppy | There's a problem with my laptop or my disc | 09:46 |

| TommoPuppy | in fact, i might :/ since my craptop is pretty much doomed to not having a permanent linux install on it | 09:48 |
| TommoPuppy | but seriously, if i try to run the 7.04 disc it doesn't even start the livecd | 09:48 |
| TommoPuppy | it just says "unable to mount" | 09:48 |
| TommoPuppy | okay, so, i've erased the laptop hard drive and isntalled half a linux installation essentially since i can't install a boot loader | 09:50 |

| lilsnoop | i tried apt-get | 10:19 |
| Xix | psycho_oreos: no, Chrome actually | 10:19 |
| psycho_oreos | Xix, then I'd search for Chrome | 10:19 |
| Xix | though I'd be interested in all the browsers | 10:19 |
| Xix | I did search for Chrome, nada | 10:19 |
| airtonix | Xix, #httpd | 10:20 |
| Xix | some empty rooms about Chrome OS, or Chromium (not the browser) | 10:20 |
| pozic | My laptop randomly decides that the screen should stop displaying stuff and instead goes black, even when I am just displaying the console. I think this is some kind of power-management issue, but does anyone have a more precise idea of its cause. Is this a common problem? | 10:20 |
| airtonix | Xix, also, have you tried checking the developer tools in chrome ? | 10:20 |
| WACKLER1 | does someone have a good help page for soundissues except https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 10:20 |
| lao5 | airtonix: i cannot send images by pidgin. | 10:21 |
| Xix | airtonix: yes, I'm working with them right now | 10:21 |
| Xix | the tools say the cache headers are being sent, but the 3.2s delay in fetching the script tells me it's not getting the cached version | 10:21 |
| airtonix | lao5, than what you actually mean is that "pidgin does not support file transfer without configuration" | 10:21 |
| abhi_nav | !yum | 10:21 |
| ubottu | Uh, don't you mean !apt ? | 10:21 |
| abhi_nav | no | 10:21 |
| pozic | It makes me want to throw Windows on it, since at least I know it is certified to run on it (and this is coming from someone who wants to use a *nix derivative). | 10:21 |
| airtonix | pozic, i assume 1) your gfx card is ati 2) the drivers are the binary variety | 10:22 |
| lao5 | airtonix: i dont know how to configure. could you show me? thanks | 10:22 |
| airtonix | lao5, no because unfortunatly i have not been able to work out how to get that part working either. | 10:23 |
| lao5 | airtonix: i want to send images | 10:23 |
| airtonix | lao5, i suggest you use something like dropbox to share files | 10:23 |
| WACKLER1 | does someone have a good help page for soundissues except for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting tried everything there and still no beep | 10:24 |
| lao5 | airtonix: i would try dropbox later. | 10:24 |
| airtonix | lao5, apparently empathy has better luck with filesharing | 10:24 |
| Dan_E | WACKLER1, did you look at alsamixer? | 10:25 |
| bronto2 | lao5, if you are on statip ip, i would apt-get install lighttpd, then drop images to /var/www, then send a link to the user | 10:25 |
| bronto2 | *static ip | 10:25 |
| WACKLER1 | Dan_E you mean like checking if it's on? | 10:25 |
| lao5 | bronto2: this is a good idea | 10:26 |
| Dan_E | no to see if anything is muted | 10:26 |
| itai | hi, i have many gigs of folders containing mostly mp3, but some contain the occasional txt or jpeg, is there a command that will delete just txt and jpeg from within folders (that is , i wouldnt need to cd to each folder)? | 10:26 |
| bronto2 | lao5, or ftp server woul work as well | 10:26 |
| WACKLER1 | yep ... it's not that easy.. | 10:26 |
| bronto2 | would* | 10:26 |
| madvirus420 | I have ubuntu 9.04 I want to insatll warsow 0.5. However, the ubuntu repo has warsow 0.42. How do I install warsow 0.5 ? | 10:27 |
| airtonix | lao5, just out of interest what protocol are you trying to share fiels with ? xmpp or something like msn ? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | madvirus420: you have to request an update of the package from the maintainers on launchpad.net | 10:28 |
| whitman | Hi, | 10:28 |
| madvirus420 | ikonia: okay. any other way? a quicker one ? | 10:28 |
| lao5 | bronto2,airtonix: i would mount the image on my webserver. pls wait | 10:28 |
| djjara | hello | 10:29 |
| ikonia | madvirus420: manually build it and ruin the dependeny tracking on your machine | 10:29 |
| whitman | Hi, if I connect to a windows share with Places -> Connect to server, is there any way to access that connect via the terminal? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | madvirus420: or ask you self if you really need this exact version | 10:29 |
| madvirus420 | ikonia: ok. thanks. | 10:29 |
| airtonix | lao5, i mean that since pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messenger client, you would be using a specific chat protocol...for example gmail is just xmpp. | 10:29 |
| WACKLER1 | does someone have a good help page for soundissues except for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting tried everything there and still no beep | 10:30 |

| perham | when I run cat /dev/input/mice/by-id/usb-A4tech... and I move my mouse, I see the stream of data there, but it doesn't move the pointer. seems like a gnome/ Xserver bug | 10:52 |
| dgz | hey guys, i experiencing strange sound lag on ubuntu 9.10 with my X-Fi extreme music | 10:52 |
| dgz | im wondering why :) | 10:52 |
| Haegin | dgz: are you using pulse? | 10:53 |
| dgz | dunno what is Pulse | 10:53 |
| Gnea | !pulseaudio | 10:53 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 10:53 |
| dgz | i just fired Quake Live / Open Arena and the sound lags about a second :( | 10:53 |
| peturrrrr | Im running Ubuntu, English language. Is there a way to run specitic applications in other languages? I know it's possible to donwload the translation files from launchpad.. but elderly people cannot do this and they don't want the complete system in non-english language. | 10:53 |
| student | aloha ludziki | 10:54 |
| WACKLER1 | ubottu I'll try thta thanks. | 10:54 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:54 |
| dgz | the only thing I changed is installing nvidia drivers, everything else is default | 10:54 |
| student | exit | 10:54 |
| dgz | so, I get it Pulse is not my default sound server, correct? | 10:56 |
| pwnkiller | how can i make a virtual boot disk using an online bootdisk? | 10:56 |
| Haegin | dgz: you are almost certainly using pulseaudio which is most likely causing the problems | 10:57 |
| Haegin | google for stuff related to pulseaudio and your card | 10:58 |
| dgz | already did that, that's why i am here. ubuntuforums is completely useless for that kind of stuff | 10:58 |
| dgz | there is also a mouse lag (not as huge as my sound delay, though) | 10:59 |
| SandGorgon | which fonts do you guys use on your Ubuntu desktop - moved from Droid fonts to MgOpen Canonica... looking for something new | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | peturrrrr: install the apropiate language packages. then launch the programs setting LC_ALL=en_UK or whatever first | 11:00 |
| Haegin | dgz: try turning pulseaudio off and switching to alsa to see if that fixes your sound problems | 11:00 |
| peturrrrr | erUSUL: Where do i specify LC_ALL=langCode ? | 11:01 |
| dgz | will do that, thanks Haegin | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | peturrrrr: command line or make special launchers | 11:01 |
| peturrrrr | Yes but there, is it a parameter? | 11:01 |
| Haegin | SandGorgon: I use terminus | 11:01 |
| peturrrrr | erUSUL: never mind, found it | 11:02 |
| WACKLER1 | Installt pulse still no sound I think the Problem is in the Alsa Modul ... Pulse doe use that too doesn't it? | 11:04 |
| WACKLER1 | Is there a way to reinstall Alsa? | 11:06 |
| pozic | airstrike: I use nvidia's proprietary drivers, but the same happens with the nv driver. | 11:10 |
| WACKLER1 | DoesN't anybody know a easy way reinstall sound related Modules Drivers etc. ?? | 11:10 |
| indus | pozic, what happens | 11:10 |
| Haegin | WACKLER1: sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-utils | 11:11 |
| jrib | WACKLER1: you should tell the channel your actual problem because reinstalling things rarely solves issues | 11:11 |
| WACKLER1 | No sound... and tried like 5 ways to fix it.... | 11:11 |
| Serpico | hi | 11:13 |
| indus | WACKLER1, what ubuntu version, no sound in which application , etc , what sound setup, speakrs or headphones | 11:16 |
| dgz | another question, is there something like DX's DirectInput? I would really like to get rid of the mouse lag I have. My Razer Salmosa behaves like crap in 9.10 :( | 11:17 |
| jesusm | dgz, are you experimenting mouse lag on desktop or in games under Wine? | 11:19 |
| jesusm | i'm using a MX518 in 9.10 and is running fine | 11:20 |
| Wackler1 | I'm at a loss with my sound problem.... can I reinstall Ubuntu without loosing my PHC-Kernel all of my W-Lan setups... etc? not realy eh | 11:21 |
| thrope | ive got a scratched dvd-r - any way to check if it is ok or not (other than copying everything to hd) | 11:21 |
| RAyN | Tag :) | 11:22 |
| Haegin | Wackler1: give more information and we'll probably be able to fix it. This isn't windows - rebooting and/or reinstalling isn't a magic fix. | 11:22 |
| Stargaze | Wackler1, you can make a backup of home and/or make a separate home partition | 11:22 |
| Haegin | thrope: nope, image it and compare the md5sum of the image to that of the device would probably work | 11:22 |

| indus | stupid naming | 11:25 |
| Haegin | itheos: have you copied your home dir from a previous install? | 11:25 |
| Haegin | if so try your old password | 11:25 |
| Wackler1 | Haegin I got no sound what so ever... tried like 5 guides now. Still no beep. And the Error started between to boot ups without internetconnection updates or chnages to the system. | 11:25 |
| ecm | i had ubuntu 9.10 i removed and got win 7 and now i came back to ubuntu as win7 didnt have drivers | 11:25 |
| itheos | Haegin, no i did not. its my old password | 11:25 |
| ecm | now all i have is an black wall paper | 11:25 |
| indus | ecm, right click on desktop > change wallpaper ? | 11:26 |
| Haegin | ecm: you can set a wallpaper by right clicking on the desktop in Gnome. Try that and let us know if it works | 11:26 |
| ecm | indus:didnt work | 11:26 |
| Haegin | Wackler1: ok, what sound card are you using and what sound system are you using? | 11:26 |
| itheos | ecm, your desktop is working? can you see the panels and icons? | 11:26 |
| Wackler1 | alsa ... onboard intelsound card.. | 11:26 |

| indus | ecm, press atl - sysrq- k to reset display? | 11:27 |
| ecm | everything works besides my wall paper | 11:27 |
| ecm | indus:thats confusing | 11:27 |
| indus | ecm, ok | 11:27 |
| Wackler1 | Haegin one sec looking it up.. | 11:27 |
| airtonix | indus, why do you keep suggesting that ? | 11:27 |
| dgz | jesusm , only in games, but not in Wine | 11:27 |
| ecm | indus:wats sysrq? | 11:27 |
| indus | airtonix, what do you mean | 11:27 |
| indus | ecm, nvm it | 11:27 |
| dgz | I am a bit picky, though. | 11:28 |
| Haegin | ecm: if the rest of your system is working it's unlikely resetting the display will fix it. | 11:28 |
| itheos | ecm, its a key on keyboard | 11:28 |
| ecm | were is it? | 11:28 |
| Dan_E | print screen button on keyboard | 11:28 |
| === thrope_ is now known as thrope | ||
| itheos | ecm, search near pause key | 11:28 |
| indus | ecm, which version of ubuntu are you using | 11:28 |
| Haegin | for future reference it's the print screen key on most keyboards and is used in a series of keybindings that can reset your computer in clever ways that you almost certainly won't need to use most of the time | 11:28 |
| ecm | 9.10 | 11:28 |
| zetheroo | is it possible to convert .deb to .bin? | 11:28 |
| airtonix | itheos, indus because more often than not. there wont be a single sysreq key and holding down the key combos required in other cases is like playing limbo | 11:29 |
| indus | airtonix, well, thats not my problem | 11:29 |
| itheos | airtonix, i just helped him find the key thats all :) | 11:29 |
| airtonix | indus, it is because when providing support you don't offer obscure rarely available options | 11:29 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: bin isn't a packaged format, it's just a binary so the answer would be not without a wrapper of some sort | 11:29 |
| indus | airtonix, how is it rarely available | 11:30 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: is there a wrapper that can do it? | 11:30 |
| indus | all the machines i work with have that key exactly there | 11:30 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: what are you actually trying to do this for? | 11:30 |
| lao5 | hi! can gimp add a rectangle to some part of one picture? i am going to use rectangle to circle some part of the picture. | 11:30 |
| Haegin | lao5: yes | 11:31 |
| lao5 | Haegin: how? thanks | 11:31 |
| indus | airtonix, iam not sure what you mean here, obscure ? rarely available ? isnt the process to restart display atl-sysrq-k | 11:31 |
| Haegin | lao5: select the area you want using the rectangle selection tool, border the selection to how thick you want the edge of the rectangle then fill the selection using the paint tool | 11:31 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: I am trying to install IBM Lotus Symphony on my 64bit Ubuntu machine ... I downloaded the .deb package and the howto is referring to the .bin one ... | 11:31 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: ok, do you have the 64bit deb? | 11:32 |
| nucc1 | hey, i want my webserver to serve a particular folder from my home directory, but it tells me "forbidden" | 11:32 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: if so just run "dpkg -i <deb file>" as root | 11:32 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: no, there is none ... | 11:32 |
| Haegin | nucc1: check the permissions | 11:32 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, what permissiosn should i give it? | 11:32 |
| airtonix | indus, despite what your experience is that single key is not on all keyboards... and when it is you have to actually hold all those letters down to acheive the same effect | 11:32 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: if they only offer it in 32bit versions then you'll need a chroot | 11:32 |
| airtonix | indus, *when it isn't | 11:33 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: here is the info http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/help.nsf/GeneralFAQ#15 | 11:33 |
| Haegin | nucc1: you need to make sure the user that the web server runs as can read and possibly execute the files so probably chmod g+r -R <folder> for a start | 11:33 |
| indus | hmm | 11:33 |
| indus | airtonix, ok ,what would you advice then? | 11:33 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: i am at step 4 ... however its calling for the .bin file | 11:33 |
| pozic | indus: I get a random black screen for no reason. It is not the screen saver. Even when I am in console mode this happens and even when I am plugged into the grid. | 11:33 |
| airtonix | indus, far easier method is to just tell them to save documents and log out. | 11:33 |
| pozic | indus: (on a laptop) | 11:34 |
| indus | airtonix, well if display hangs? | 11:34 |
| Haegin | indus: if you are going to advise using sysreq keys you need to give more explanation. Resetting the display restarts X which will kill all the open programs possibly losing unsaved work. | 11:34 |
| pozic | indus: it happens with acpi enabled and distabled. | 11:34 |
| purple_processor | nucc1: you may have to ad a apache <directory> tag to your vhost.conf... symlinks work pretty well to with the floowsymlink options | 11:34 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: sudo -H ./IBM_Lotus_Symphony_linux.bin | 11:34 |
| indus | ah yes right Haegin jumped on that one | 11:34 |
| pozic | disabled* | 11:34 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: can I just use the .deb that I have in the place of the .bin? | 11:34 |
| ecm | my wallpaper isnt working still i tried alt - k -sysrq | 11:34 |
| ecm | i tried restarting | 11:34 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: and is the deb file the one it tells you to download? | 11:35 |
| nucc1 | purple_processor, i have the vhost configured properly, i just think it is something to do with my home folder permissions | 11:35 |
| indus | ecm, do you see available wallpapers if you right click on desktop | 11:35 |
| ecm | i did but none of them work | 11:35 |
| Wackler1 | Heagin: can't find the command that gave me the card... | 11:35 |
| ecm | my monitor is 1980x1080 | 11:35 |
| Haegin | Wackler1: try lspci | 11:35 |
| ecm | its 1080p | 11:35 |
| airtonix | indus, apologies for publicly bringing to your attention. | 11:35 |
| Haegin | ecm: it might be the gconf schemas though it seems unlikely | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I always just use a nice solid color. | 11:36 |
| indus | airtonix, oh no not at all , i appreciate it :) | 11:36 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: step 4 says to download the ISMP installer .. dunno what that is ... but the command to install is referring to the .bin package/file | 11:36 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: can I use the .deb in the place of the .bin? | 11:36 |
| purple_processor | nucc1: try making a softlink from web root to /home folder | 11:37 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: what is the deb file you have? is it libxkbfile1_1.0.5-1_i386.deb ? | 11:37 |
| pozic | indus: anyway, what I really just want is to control the bit which says whether or not my screen should display everything in video memory on full brightness. | 11:37 |
| Wackler1 | Haegin 3) | 11:37 |
| Wackler1 | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) | 11:37 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: no, I am at step 4 ... I did everything else already | 11:37 |
| pozic | indus: that should be trivial, but in fact there is no such obvious knob. | 11:37 |
| indus | pozic, hi ,sorry but dont know this one, could you please ask again in this channel | 11:37 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: the .deb I have is the actual Symphony suite | 11:37 |
| nucc1 | purple_processor, says 'forbidden' still | 11:38 |
| indus | all that chatter made me miss your question really | 11:38 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: ok, try running sudo dpkg -i <deb file> | 11:38 |
| pozic | I want is to control the bit which says whether or not my screen should display everything in video memory on full brightness. | 11:38 |
| tjingboem | i get no sound from Totem, but with Audacity it works fine. How can i tell Totem to use the soundcard? | 11:38 |
| indus | airtonix, are you an op ? | 11:38 |
| lao5 | Haegin: thanks! a little horrible to me | 11:38 |
| zetheroo | Haegin; so I should extract the .deb package ... can i extract it to anywhere? | 11:38 |
| pozic | indus: learn to use an IRC client if you missed it. | 11:38 |
| lao5 | Haegin: but i dont know where to choose color. | 11:38 |
| indus | wow great, thanks | 11:39 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: no, just install it | 11:39 |
| airtonix | indus, no just someone who has been here a while | 11:39 |
| nucc1 | purple_processor, what possible permissions can i set on my home folder to allow the webserver access to stuff inside it, without being too permissive? | 11:39 |
| Haegin | lao5: use the paint tool and it'll give you colour swatches. just double click on one to change it. | 11:39 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: oh ok ... so it does not make a diff if its .bin or .deb ... ? | 11:39 |
| Haegin | nucc1: try chmod a+rx to see if that works | 11:39 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: I just don't want to break my system :) | 11:40 |
| anichols | I've been trying for a few days now to get a certain USB device to work in ubuntu (hardy heron), but no amount of googling has given me a result. Any ideas on how to make a "NYKO Airflo EX" work within Ubuntu for games played through ZSNES and the like? | 11:40 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: you'd need to install them differently. With a bin you run it, with a deb you use dpkg | 11:40 |
| theadmin | nucc1: just make sure the group who owns it is same as server softawre group, and 770 it | 11:40 |
| indus | pozic, good luck getting help with that attitude sucker | 11:40 |
| Haegin | anichols: what is a NYKO Airflo EX? | 11:40 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, perfecto! | 11:40 |
| purple_processor | nucc1: I would guess you only need read access to apache or all... | 11:40 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, ubuntu's default home permissions deny all access into the home directory. | 11:40 |
| Haegin | nucc1: ok, so now it works you need to work out what permissions you need to be secure | 11:41 |
| Stargaze | anichols, try with usb-modeswitch, it's a daemon | 11:41 |
| anichols | Haegin: It's a gamepad, similar in appearance to a PS2 controller, made for PCs, with a fan built into it to keep the hands from getting sweaty. | 11:41 |
| Haegin | I'm guessing you need to set the web user to be in the group that has access to the files and then make them readable to you, the group and others and writeable to you | 11:41 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: how do you force clear a terminal window? | 11:41 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, i can change the particular folder's owner to www-data, but without the -r flag on my home folder, it cant access at all | 11:41 |
| anichols | Stargaze: usb-modeswitch? | 11:41 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: clear | 11:41 |
| Stargaze | anichols, Synaptic gives a description | 11:42 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: or reset if you have funky characters messing it up | 11:42 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: I did "man sudo" before and am stuck at the end of the manual | 11:42 |
| Haegin | nucc1: the -r flag makes it recursive so it effects the contents of the folder again | 11:42 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: press q to quit the man page reader | 11:43 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, :) i meant the "read" flag for "all users" | 11:43 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: oh thanks ... hehe | 11:43 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, i didn't run the chmod with "-r" | 11:43 |
| purple_processor | nucc1: Synlinks is the way to do it I think.. thats how I did it once, from memory... | 11:43 |
| Wackler1 | .. | 11:43 |
| nucc1 | purple_processor, I am using virtual hosts, so symlinks don't apply. | 11:43 |
| nucc1 | purple_processor, besides, a symlink will still run into permission issues. | 11:44 |
| anichols | Stargaze: I did a search on Synaptic for 'usb-modeswitch', and there are no packages available by that name...unless I'm completely screwing up how to look up something in the package manager...possible. | 11:44 |
| Haegin | nucc1: ok, that's because the web server runs as a user that doesn't own the file and isn't in the group that is set on the files so falls into the other category | 11:44 |
| lao5 | Haegin: thanks again. i got it.. | 11:44 |
| Stargaze | anichols, try searching for modeswitch, or switch | 11:44 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, yes. and the home folder allows no access to "other" at all. that's why it was failing. | 11:44 |
| Haegin | lao5: no probs | 11:44 |
| Wackler1 | ... | 11:45 |
| nucc1 | Haegin, so chmoding "o+r" solves the problem. | 11:45 |
| theadmin | nucc1: chown $USER:www-data $HOME && chmod -R 770 $HOME, something like this. | 11:45 |
| anichols | Stargaze: modeswitch = nothing. switch = 272 packages....*sighs* | 11:45 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, :) that is a bit dangerous :) | 11:45 |
| theadmin | nucc1: Yeah kinda | 11:45 |
| itheos | hey my webcam isnt working till now. i have tried everything i could. but it doesnt work. can anybody help ? | 11:45 |

| Stargaze | anichols, i missed that part then, i 'm running KK | 11:46 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, the problem is solved. the right way, IMHO. i just gave "others" read access to my home directory, and then i set the particular folder i wanted to serv with proper permissions. | 11:46 |
| itheos | can anybody help please? :) | 11:46 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, this way, my private folders remain private. | 11:46 |

| zetheroo | package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) | 11:46 |
| theadmin | nucc1: Uh, problem here, it will also be accessible by others locally | 11:46 |
| anichols | Stargaze: I'm staying with HH until LL becomes LTS, sorry. | 11:46 |
| Stargaze | !ask| itheos | 11:46 |
| ubottu | itheos: 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. :-) | 11:46 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: I guess the .bin is probably arch neutral ... or something | 11:47 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: ok, you are trying to install a 32bit package on a 64bit system. | 11:47 |
| itheos | Stargaze, hey my webcam isnt working till now. i have tried everything i could. but it doesnt work. can anybody help ? | 11:47 |
| Stargaze | anichols, i understand, i'm doing it from now on, too | 11:47 |
| itheos | isnt this asking? | 11:47 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: nah, from the instructions they want you to run it in 32bit mode using 32bit libs | 11:47 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, lemme try making it merely "executable" by others. that should work too, i suppose? | 11:47 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: run sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <deb> | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: yes ... | 11:47 |
| zetheroo | ok | 11:47 |
| Stargaze | itheos, try installing cheese (it's the name of the package) | 11:47 |
| itheos | Stargaze, i have it but it hangs | 11:47 |
| CABALLOKII | HOLA | 11:47 |
| nucc1 | theadmin, seems to do the trick too. and now, others can't read :) | 11:48 |
| theadmin | nucc1: if folder has +x it can be opened but it's contents can not be "read" unless "+r" is explicitly set on some of them | 11:48 |

| funalien | Hello :) I have got one question about keyboard layouts in Ubuntu's gnome. Instead of using US locale I prefer Polish, because it has both english and advanced polish symbols. So, I've removed english layout, but it appear again after the system reboot. How to finally remove that layout? | 11:51 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: and it opened ... thanks a lot! | 11:51 |
| theadmin | alin: Do not repeat, just wait for a while... Might be a good idea to search the forums during wait and repeat in ~20 minutes | 11:51 |
| funalien | * US layout | 11:51 |
| Haegin | zetheroo: np | 11:51 |
| airtonix | what are my options for another menu editor? i feel that alacarte makes menu editing cumbersome... | 11:51 |
| CABALLOKII | HABLAIS ESPAÑOL | 11:51 |
| alin | theadmin, I already did that ... | 11:52 |
| zetheroo | Haegin: if a newer version comes out I should just be able to install the newest one and it should overwrite the old one ... right!? | 11:52 |
| abhi_nav | how to speed up my ubuntu system? | 11:52 |
| theadmin | CABALLOKII: Sigh. This is an english channel! Spanish support in #ubuntu-es | 11:52 |

| n8w | hey | 11:55 |
| n8w | guys do u also experience that the hibernation(suspend to disk) takes incredibly long time? | 11:55 |
| airtonix | n8w, no | 11:55 |
| Stargaze | lol | 11:55 |
| theadmin | n8w: How large is your swap? | 11:55 |
| abhi_nav | n8w: its log but not incredibly | 11:56 |
| abhi_nav | long* | 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | Does anyone know if there's a way to get the standard volume applet back instead of indicator crapplet's buggy, half-functional version in Lucid? | 11:56 |
| theadmin | With ~1GB of swap space it takes ~5 secs | 11:56 |
| abhi_nav | !lucid | DaemonFC | 11:56 |
| ubottu | DaemonFC: 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 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 11:56 |
| airtonix | DaemonFC, this channel doesnt support lucid | 11:56 |
| DaemonFC | I'd made the upstream GNOME session my default but they seem to have removed the standard volume applet totally | 11:56 |
| n8w | theadmin: ive got 4300mb swap n 4G of ram | 11:56 |
| theadmin | n8w: Oh, then weird | 11:56 |
| n8w | ive tried switching to "uswsusp",but no significant difference there... | 11:57 |
| airtonix | n8w, your swap needs to be at least 1.5 times the size of your real ram | 11:57 |
| itheos | airstrike, if its less than 1gb | 11:57 |
| Haegin | airtonix: only if you want to hibernate do you need more swap than ram | 11:58 |
| n8w | airtonix: ye i know, i did some research on that n opinions r different from person to person | 11:58 |
| airtonix | itheos, note n8w just said "4gbs or ram" | 11:58 |
| airtonix | Haegin, yes. | 11:58 |
| abhi_nav | i think 4gb is greater than 1 gb | 11:58 |
| airtonix | Haegin, n8w you need to be prepared for the situation that your swap is in use by apps | 11:58 |
| itheos | airstrike, i noted it. i said your rule of 1.5 or 2 times applies if the ram is under 1 gb | 11:58 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, >>> <n8w> theadmin: ive got 4300mb swap n 4G of ram | 11:59 |
| abhi_nav | still not clear | 11:59 |
| airtonix | itheos, in any case. | 11:59 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, note the "4gb of ram" | 11:59 |
| n8w | airtonix: i think that as long as my swap is at least the same size as my ram i should b ok | 11:59 |
| abhi_nav | I have 2gb of ram and ubuntu create swap of 5.7 gb | 12:00 |
| solid_liq | heh | 12:00 |
| abhi_nav | automatic installation (not manual) | 12:00 |
| solid_liq | second time I've heard that in an hour | 12:00 |
| n8w | i mean, i can notice some difference while usin "uswsusp", but mostly in wakin up...but still its not like in w7...its damn fast there | 12:00 |
| abhi_nav | heard what? | 12:00 |
| solid_liq | abhi_nav, what you just said | 12:00 |
| alin | anyone knows how to install suExec on lighttpd ? and willing to help me ? | 12:00 |
| abhi_nav | i said that before too? | 12:01 |
| solid_liq | abhi_nav, no, someone else did | 12:01 |
| abhi_nav | solid_liq hmm | 12:01 |
| solid_liq | abhi_nav, I have 4GB ram and ubuntu created a 2.25GB swap (on 10.04 daily build) | 12:01 |
| abhi_nav | solid_liq so bad or good? | 12:02 |
| techzg | how to store the file names in a folder to a file on Ubuntu? As in windows its dir /a -> file.txt | 12:02 |
| n8w | solid_liq: ye?can u hibernate? | 12:02 |
| airtonix | solid_liq, it would be a sad day when you attempt to hibernate with your ram full. | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | techzg: ls > foo.txt | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | techzg: or some variant of ls/dir/echo * | 12:02 |
| indus | i have 384 mb ram | 12:02 |
| abhi_nav | and swap? | 12:03 |
| Stargaze | does my laptop use battery power when it is suspended? | 12:03 |
| theadmin | Stargaze: Yes, however a lot less | 12:03 |
| abhi_nav | yes ofcourse | 12:03 |
| solid_liq | n8w, shouldn't be able to but I haven't tried | 12:03 |
| abhi_nav | but very low | 12:03 |
| theadmin | Stargaze: If it's hibernated, then no | 12:03 |
| abhi_nav | hmm | 12:03 |
| * Stargaze is entitled to stupid questions | 12:04 | |
| techzg | Dr_Willis: Got it, thanks. A general question, is there a way to copy a user's nick name in an IRC room, rather than typing it. | 12:04 |
| abhi_nav | yah. we know | 12:04 |
| n8w | solid_liq: ye, i dont think u will b able to | 12:04 |
| theadmin | techzg: Some clients allow doing so by some clicking | 12:04 |
| abhi_nav | :-D | 12:04 |
| techzg | I use ChatZilla | 12:04 |
| solid_liq | techzg, try tab-completion ;) | 12:04 |
| theadmin | techzg: Never used it, no idea | 12:04 |
| techzg | ok | 12:04 |
| theadmin | I just type-tab it out | 12:05 |
| n8w | hmm thats funny, that app "uswsusp" is 2 years old n still works better than anythin in the newest kernel:D | 12:07 |
| theadmin | n8w: o_O | 12:07 |
| theadmin | Strange, never had any problems with new kernels. | 12:07 |

| psychuil | Hi there, i have trouble installing flash, can anyone help? | 12:08 |
| theadmin | psychuil: What Ubuntu version? | 12:08 |
| n8w | solid_liq: ok but still works better than those being in the new kernel:) | 12:08 |
| psychuil | i think 9.04 | 12:08 |
| psychuil | the lastest one | 12:09 |
| theadmin | psychuil: Latest one is 9.10 | 12:09 |
| theadmin | psychuil: Try lsb_release -r | 12:09 |
| jimjimovich | anyone have an idea why the killall command would not be found on ubuntu 9.10 server? | 12:09 |
| psychuil | 9.10 | 12:09 |
| solid_liq | n8w, lol | 12:10 |
| theadmin | psychuil: do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 12:10 |
| psychuil | E: Couldn't find package flashplugin-installer | 12:10 |
| jiohdi | psychuil: use the package store and search flash | 12:10 |

| rocket16 | Hello all! | 12:11 |
| rocket16 | One thing, the 9.10 Network Manager consumes a lot of memory, why is it so? | 12:12 |
| theadmin | psychuil: Whatever actually, it's flashplugin-installer anyway | 12:12 |
| theadmin | rocket16: It has a ton of weird stuff behind it, especially that new libnotify plugin | 12:12 |
| rocket16 | Oh, thanks theadmin. | 12:12 |
| n8w | solid_liq: ye,it is kinda lol....:) | 12:12 |
| rocket16 | theadmin: But won't there be any improvement in the future? | 12:12 |
| psychuil | theadmin, 32bit afaik | 12:13 |
| rocket16 | psychuil: Friend, just go to Synaptic, and search for Flash Plugin installer there, | 12:13 |
| psycho_oreos | !flash | 12:13 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:13 |
| theadmin | rocket16: Hm, i hope there will. 10.10 will use GNOME 3 anyway. | 12:13 |
| theadmin | !gnash | 12:14 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 12:14 |
| psychuil | Can't find flash in synaptic | 12:14 |
| rocket16 | theadmin: Thanks for the info. Still, I hope to see some improvement in 10.04, | 12:14 |

| theadmin | haavaros: Better to use the mouse settings. | 12:15 |
| theadmin | haavaros: to be sure ;) | 12:15 |

| theadmin | rocket16: Woah there, don't use the debian one | 12:16 |
| rocket16 | psychuil: Or, you can get it from Software Centre too | 12:16 |
| psychuil | I can't get from the software center | 12:17 |
| rocket16 | theadmin: But, that is deb too, and should work in Ubuntu | 12:17 |
| haavaros | theadmin: Yeah, I know, but that terminal command works ... is there some way I can have that entered at every start, kinda like autoexec.bat in good ol MSDOS? | 12:17 |

| psychuil | Guys, do you know why an ssh tunnel still won't let me connect to irc severs bypassing the stupid uni router? | 13:05 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi | 13:06 |
| abhi_nav | sine` you can install vlc on linux. type sudo apt-get install vlc | 13:06 |
| sine` | sweet# | 13:06 |
| sk_ | Hey I want to install kde 4.4 from trunk. So anyone know what should be KDEHOME directory in 9.10? | 13:06 |
| abhi_nav | what # means? | 13:06 |
| airtonix | psychuil, probably because that 'stupid uni router' is your only way out of the lan | 13:06 |
| Pici | abhi_nav: In what context? | 13:06 |
| abhi_nav | Pici: sine` typed seet# | 13:07 |
| IdleOne | sine`: anytime you want to install an application look in Synaptic package manager to make see if it is already packaged or use apt-cache search packagename ( vlc ) in this case | 13:07 |
| abhi_nav | Pici: sine` typed sweet# | 13:07 |

| psychuil | They just blocked all the ports coz they couldn't be bothered with getting a proper sysadmin | 13:12 |

| acicula | dante123: depends on where it freezes, could be software related or just your hardware giving out | 13:38 |
| Halitech | dante123, heat issue? cpu not seated properly? bad hardware (hard drive)? | 13:39 |
| gamer | psychuil: don't bother if you have less than 2 GB? | 13:39 |

| dante123 | chili555, im looking right now...but I think capacitors are good. I must say it did this cold reboot freeze thing from day one. Now it just is becoming more apparent....and seems to be more ubuntu based as I cant remember it heppening with windows. | 13:41 |
| acicula | dante123: may be worth trying a live usb stick with 9.04 and an 10.04 alpha to see if you have the same problem | 13:42 |
| acicula | dante123: wont solve it but should give you a better idea wether its a hardware issue or not? | 13:42 |
| dante123 | Halitech i dont think it is a heat issue as it happens generally when the machine is starting from cold boot | 13:42 |

| dante123 | acicula and chili555, boot processing seems to be taking a long time...from livecd | 13:55 |
| Halitech | Pici, ok, wasn't completely sure and figured someone would correct me if I was wrong :) | 13:55 |
| nucc1 | Halitech, the postfix log files will be in /var/log/mail.log ? | 13:55 |
| Halitech | nucc1, not totally sure | 13:55 |
| Pici | nucc1: yes. | 13:56 |
| ddavids | <chili555: yes pls | 13:56 |
| dante123 | acicular and chili555. seems hung.......cd light flashing but nothing happening.....white ubuntu logo on black on screen | 13:56 |
| nucc1 | Pici, yea, just saw that. how do i make it not set "from = www-data@localhost" ? | 13:56 |
| ddavids | chili555: it most usually connects to the one tht has something like 192.168.... | 13:56 |
| Pici | nucc1: 'it'? | 13:56 |
| nucc1 | Pici, postfix :) or PHP one of the two :) | 13:57 |
| ddavids | chili555: even when the network is down on that one... | 13:57 |
| chili555 | ddavids, if you could stand to get rid of NM, you could do sudo ifconfig eth0 ip_address_desired up | 13:57 |
| dante123 | acicula and chili555, i would say we have lockup on boot from livecd....so that makes it look hardware related right? | 13:57 |
| leftStanding | hi, i noticed a difference with the linksys WUSB54G adapter between 9.04 and 9.10. In 9.04 WPA works wonderfully and in 9.10 everything but WPA works. Where should I file a bug reprot? | 13:57 |
| rocket16 | theadmin: Are you a developer of Ubuntu? | 13:57 |
| chili555 | dante123, IMO, yes | 13:57 |

| lalalol | aww chromium doesnt fully pass the acid3 | 13:58 |
| sysc | \join #ubuntu-br | 13:58 |
| ddavids | chili555: cant i still do tht with NM doing its own thingy? | 13:58 |
| Pici | nucc1: I think you'll need to define that within php. I see a mail directive within php.ini, but I'm not sure if that has any effect. | 13:58 |
| ddavids | chili555: if i get rid of NM, is it retreiable? | 13:58 |
| chili555 | ddavids, not any way I know of. you might be able to do so with 2 nic cards | 13:59 |
| Stargaze | lalalol, what's acid3? | 13:59 |
| dante123 | chili555 trying once more to boot from livecd. From cold boot.....get to just before desktop freezes. Boot#2 from livecd freezes. Boot#3 in progress | 13:59 |
| chili555 | ddavids, yes, from the install cd | 13:59 |
| lalalol | Stargaze, a webstandard test | 13:59 |
| nucc1 | Pici, the from field shows correctly in the received email, but postfix still connects to the receiving mail server identifying itself as "www-data@localhost" | 13:59 |
| ddavids | chili555: how do i retrieve it from the install cd? | 14:00 |
| chili555 | ddavids, when you click the NM icon, do you see any choices available? | 14:00 |
| olskolirc | how do I make this loop three times sleep 7s && cvlc /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/busytone.wav | 14:00 |
| chili555 | ddavids, add the cd as a software source and sudo ap-get install network-manager | 14:00 |
| chili555 | ddavids, *apt | 14:01 |
| chili555 | ddavids, but if you can connect manually, you can get it from the repos in Synaptic, et al | 14:01 |

| DJones | rautamiekka: Your message has just been cut short at "The pa" You probably need to add that extra bit on a new line | 15:03 |
| rautamiekka | Oh damn. Ty for telling me DJones | 15:03 |
| DJones | rautamiekka: no probs | 15:03 |
| rautamiekka | I say the whole thing again in two lines | 15:03 |
| cwillu_at_work | Is there a place to dump a script so it'll be run a single time on the next reboot? I could have sworn there was a /etc/something.d/ folder that did that | 15:03 |
| rautamiekka | Now to my problem: I took harddrive image of my EeePC 900 so that I could safely install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Netbook to it. After changing the netbook view to regular view and installing like 250 updates and rebooting, alot is messed up now. The GNOME Panels don't show up and trying to get the quicklaunch thingy (the Run window in Window$) to show up. | 15:03 |
| rautamiekka | I made a launcher on the desktop to start Terminal to execute "gnome-panel". The Panels do show up but the menus and shortcuts are missing. Executing the command also outputs errors are debug info. This ain't normal. | 15:03 |
| rautamiekka | There | 15:03 |
| llutz | cwillu_at_work: /etc/rc.local or crontab (@reboot) | 15:04 |
| acicula | rautamiekka: yeah thats a sattelite setup. are you sure you are using sendmail and not postfix(the default)? | 15:04 |
| jose_hernandez98 | hi! | 15:04 |
| rautamiekka | errors and debug info* | 15:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | llutz, rc.local isn't a run one-time thing though | 15:04 |
| jose_hernandez98 | 15:04 | |
| jose_hernandez98 | 15:04 | |
| jose_hernandez98 | 15:04 | |
| FloodBot3 | jose_hernandez98: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:04 |
| acicula | err ae86-drifter yeah thats a sattelite setup. are you sure you are using sendmail and not postfix(the default)? | 15:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | llutz, and cron @reboot doesn't sound like one either | 15:04 |
| rautamiekka | acicula: How do I verify that ? | 15:04 |
| llutz | cwillu_at_work: a "single run", ok my bad | 15:05 |
| overclucker | there is an initscript for pulseaudio in /etc/init.d/ | 15:05 |
| acicula | rautamiekka: sorry that wasnt meant for you but for ae86-drifter | 15:05 |
| Uauau | hola | 15:05 |
| rautamiekka | acicula: Heh, okey. | 15:05 |
| llutz | cwillu_at_work: i read" single run every reboot" | 15:05 |
| null815 | hi all. can someone help me with netatalk? (hide home folder in mac finder) ... netatalk 2.0.5 on debian | 15:06 |
| Pici | null815: If you're running debian you should be asking in #debian | 15:06 |
| acicula | null815: this is ubuntu support, try over in #debian? | 15:06 |
| null815 | thx | 15:06 |
| ae86-drifter | acicula, yeah, well whatever is used by default for php's sendmail function.. i need to configure that to my SMTP server mail.xxxxx.com | 15:06 |
| Madwill | acicula RED5 has his own tomcat edition that does not run JODCONVERTER | 15:07 |
| cwillu_at_work | llutz, does policy-rc.d ring a bell? | 15:07 |
| Madwill | sorry for the delay a boss came in started blabering for an hour or so | 15:07 |
| rautamiekka | I repeat my problem: I took harddrive image of my EeePC 900 so that I could safely install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Netbook to it. After changing the netbook view to regular view and installing like 250 updates and rebooting, alot is messed up now.

| nicoX | bobs | 15:09 |
| acicula | ae86-drifter: i would guess that it uses procmail wich comes with a sendmail prog | 15:09 |
| msenoz | hi all | 15:09 |
| msenoz | anyone got working awus036nh (rt3070) wireless with ubuntu with injection support? | 15:09 |
| msenoz | i have read and tried couple of tutorials but didn't work | 15:10 |
| ae86-drifter | msenoz, let me guess, your cracking a wireless network> | 15:10 |
| ManiDhillon | aircrack. :) | 15:10 |
| acicula | ae86-drifter: er postfix i mean, procmail is something else | 15:10 |
| msenoz | good guess :) | 15:11 |
| chili555 | msenoz, just a security check, i'm sure | 15:11 |
| ManiDhillon | aidrodump tutorials. May be they have listed it. | 15:11 |
| ae86-drifter | acicula, yeah.. well i have read the documentation and i find it a little confusing | 15:11 |
| msenoz | auditing my wireless network | 15:11 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter: if you're looking for a simple smtp-forwarder, use ssmtp | 15:11 |
| acicula | ae86-drifter: well sendmail is not for the faint of heart, postfix is a fair bit easier to understand | 15:11 |
| ae86-drifter | all i should need is SMTP address, port and password right? all i want to do is configure it so i can use php to send mail... | 15:11 |
| llutz | cwillu_at_work: silence, never heard/used | 15:11 |
| FriedrichMan | hey, I am a newbie | 15:11 |
| cwillu_at_work | llutz, darn my fallible memory :p | 15:12 |
| acicula | ae86-drifter: well llutz suggestion of ssmtp seems what you want | 15:12 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter: you want ssmtp | 15:12 |
| orb01 | the package subdownloader won't let me connect to their server, can anyone check if they have that problem too? | 15:12 |
| hoonches | where are the md5sums for the alternate install cd? | 15:12 |
| acicula | ae86-drifter: make sure you install some controls though, wouldnt want your comp to get blacklisted for spamming first day you make the mail form available | 15:12 |
| airtonix | msenoz, first thing you need to do is check that your chipset is supported by a driver that supports promiscious mode. | 15:13 |
| FriedrichMan | does anybody has any idea whether I can script something to display a dialog box on the gnome ? | 15:13 |
| airtonix | !info zenity | 15:13 |
| acicula | !hacking | 15:13 |
| cwillu_at_work | FriedrichMan, zenity | 15:13 |
| ManiDhillon | Why don't you just install it and check it. | 15:13 |
| psychuil | Can i change my username? coz i'm sick of being called ubuntu | 15:13 |

| === kienan is now known as arakthor | ||
| ae86-drifter | acicula, yeah, thats all covered thx | 15:13 |
| ManiDhillon | It may work, after all they can't list all supported wi-fi cards there. | 15:13 |
| hoonches | where are the md5sums for the alternate install cd? does anybody know? | 15:14 |
| acicula | hoonches: ussually in the same directories as the isos' ? | 15:14 |
| hoonches | nope | 15:14 |
| jhon | ola | 15:14 |
| FriedrichMan | cwillu_at_work> thanks a lot, I will check it later | 15:15 |
| Akkernight | If I go on the LiveCD and make some free space with a partition manager, and then try to install WinXP onto that space, won't GRUB2 and the Windows boot loader conflict? | 15:15 |
| jhon | olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 15:15 |
| cwillu_at_work | Akkernight, yes, although you can re-install grub easily enough from the livecd after | 15:15 |
| ae86-drifter | i just want to configure "sendmail" to my SMTP server... shouldnt be so hard should it?.. | 15:15 |
| jhon | ello | 15:16 |
| Akkernight | cwillu_at_work, and that make it impossible to boot WinXP? | 15:16 |
| overclucker | FriedrichMan: zenity --info --text="" | 15:16 |
| jhon | qe pasaaaaaaaaa | 15:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | Akkernight, no, grub can boot xp just fine | 15:16 |
| jhon | oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 15:16 |
| acicula | hoonches: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/MD5SUMS | 15:16 |
| jhon | iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 15:16 |
| ikonia | jhon: please don't do that | 15:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | ae86-drifter, php has config options to set which smtp server its sendmail function uses | 15:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | er, I think | 15:17 |
| nucc1 | ikonia, wasn't that a bit too hasty? | 15:17 |
| overclucker | ikonia: Flexing? | 15:18 |
| nucc1 | ah oh well, i wasn't lookin at the history :p | 15:18 |
| ikonia | nucc1: I can continue to let him flood the channel if you want | 15:18 |
| msenoz | airtonix:in fact some tutorials confirms the promiscous mode for my chipset but i couldn't manage it by following the tutorials | 15:18 |
| ae86-drifter | cwillu, yeah.. its using postfix | 15:18 |
| overclucker | haha | 15:18 |
| ae86-drifter | cwillu_at_work, , yeah.. its using postfix | 15:18 |
| nucc1 | who knows where gpodder stores its config files? | 15:19 |
| airtonix | msenoz, yes your card may be able to do it but are you using the right driver to allow it | 15:19 |
| overclucker | strace gpodder ? | 15:19 |
| airtonix | nucc1, 1) man program 2) look for 'files' section | 15:19 |
| nucc1 | airtonix, no such section. | 15:19 |
| llutz | ae86-drifter: http://www.bergek.com/2009/02/22/configure-postfix-to-use-smart-host/ | 15:20 |
| airtonix | nucc1, next step then is to : locate gpodder | grep /home | 15:20 |
| jcrawford | thank you acicula i am looking now | 15:21 |
| nucc1 | airtonix, that doesn't work | 15:21 |
| msenoz | airtonix:i will continue trying different drivers, i just wanted ask if anybody has any experience with this adapter | 15:21 |
| msenoz | thanks anyway for your interest | 15:21 |
| acicula | nucc1: overclucker people using similar language have been flooding the channel like that for days now, glad to see some bankicking going on tbh | 15:22 |
| cwillu_at_work | ae86-drifter, sorry, work calls :p | 15:22 |
| Grey_Loki | Hi, exiting a full-screen application (in this case, games such as Urban Terror or OpenArena) causes X to freeze - no mouse or keyboard input, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work, and I can only fix it by switching to another...hurm, terminal I guess, using ctrl+alt+F1, and then running killall -9 Xorg as root. Where can I see logs to see what's going wrong, or start debugging this? | 15:22 |
| airtonix | nucc1, then you can use dpkg to shwo the files : dpkg --status gpodder | 15:23 |
| overclucker | acicula: hheellpp mmee mmyy kkeeyyss aarree ssttiicckkyy?? | 15:23 |

| airtonix | flohack, do you have to use KVM ? | 15:28 |
| yehia | airtonix . yes i have tried all this | 15:28 |
| flohack | airtonix: Well, I'd rather stick with it, as I have a few other VMs already setup | 15:28 |
| ae86-drifter | llutz, thats pretty much what i want, but i don't understand where i would configure the username and password | 15:29 |

| yehia | on | 15:31 |
| psychuil | mhall119|work, would it change all the things that are linked to me? Like my home folder and such? | 15:31 |

| * abhi_nav laughs too | 15:31 | |
| yehia | iam sorry airtonix | 15:32 |
| airtonix | yehia, i should of asked that question first | 15:32 |
| mhall119|work | and all permissions are based on the user id, not login name, so those wouldn't need to be changed | 15:32 |
| acicula | abhi_nav: yeah i guessed, probably is a local support channel for india , not sure what or which languages that entails though | 15:32 |
| acicula | !in | 15:32 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India | 15:32 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | I'm using apt-mirror to create a local repository on an internal server at my office network. It's become a consensus that we no longer need to have a local mirror of the 8.04 LTS in the office, but I can't figure out how to remove all the old hardy packages. Does anybody know of a good way to purge all hardy packages from my server? | 15:49 |

| rautamiekka | I took harddrive image of my EeePC 900 so that I could safely install Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Netbook to it. After changing the netbook view to regular view and installing like 250 updates and rebooting, alot is messed up now. The GNOME Panels don't show up and trying to get the quicklaunch thingy (the Run window in Window$) to show up. | 16:42 |
| rautamiekka | (CONTINUING) I made a launcher on the desktop to start Terminal to execute "gnome-panel". The Panels do show up but the menus and shortcuts are missing. Executing the command also outputs errors and debug info. This kind of behaviour ain't normal. | 16:42 |
| abhi_nav | Akkernight: so finally what happens? | 16:42 |
| murky | Beelsebob: i.e. to allow access from user@host rather than user@localhost | 16:42 |
| Akkernight | abhi_nav, I threw the cd away and grabbed a new one | 16:43 |
| Beelsebob | murky: I didn't realise I had to, where abouts do I need to change it? | 16:43 |

| theadmin | ...I guess better off asking in #bash | 16:52 |
| steve_irwin | I'm in the USA | 16:52 |
| Rapsodius | It would be something like sudo echo vm.swappiness=10 >> /etc/sysctl.conf | 16:52 |
| steve_irwin | how can i use spotify in the USA | 16:53 |
| ardchoille | Pici: needs "sudo tee -a" ? (append) | 16:53 |
| rem | anyone know how to fix not being able to navigate the recovery menu in recovery boot mode? | 16:53 |
| Rapsodius | also fo the extra mile you can try echo vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50 >> /etc/sysctl.conf | 16:53 |
| Pici | ardchoille: If you need to append, sure. | 16:53 |
| Jordan_U | Rapsodius: for appending with tee it would be "echo vm.swappiness=10 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf" | 16:53 |
| Rapsodius | or try experimenting with swappiness values, with all that free ram you will barely need swap | 16:53 |
| Rapsodius | Jordan_U: fine | 16:54 |
| theadmin | meh those 'tee' and stuff are complicated, i always sudo -i and then use echo | 16:54 |

| theadmin | rem: as for settings and themes yeah but about apps... can't be sure | 17:00 |
| rautamiekka | ChogyDan: Urgh. Google for "eeepc ubuntu" without the quotes and the first page there has "EeePC" in its right end | 17:00 |
| ChogyDan | rem: sort of. You might be able to just reinstall Ubuntu, don't reformat the drive, and it will save your /home folder | 17:00 |

| lullabud | theadmin: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 17:01 |
| rautamiekka | lullabud said it, theadmin | 17:01 |
| Pici | markl_: Nope, that will not break anything. If you run xscreensaver-demo you have a chance of breaking things though, so if you do run it to change settings, don't have it kill or start any daemons. | 17:01 |
| Mark22 | Rapsodius: thank you, looking for how it will work in a few hours | 17:01 |
| theadmin | rem: Get sytemrescuecd iso from sysresccd(dot)org and use that to copy stuff over. | 17:01 |

| abhi_nav | steve_irwin: lol | 17:03 |
| jolaren | Is it possible to boot a /etc/rc.local script before a init.d script somehow?? | 17:03 |
| ChogyDan | rautamiekka: the only different between UNR and regular is the interface. All the drivers were put into the kernel so are in both | 17:03 |
| Rapsodius | Mark22: however remember that is temporary, since after the reboot, the value stored in /etc/sysctl.conf will take effect | 17:04 |

| rautamiekka | ChogyDan: Meaning that the UNR .img image's 300 megas larger size is due to more poor image format ? | 17:05 |

| bonez2046 | where's best channel to find linux/winxp networking help? | 17:15 |

| josh-N | hi, i'm trying to copy a bootable Mac OS 9 cd with K3b... i made two iso images, one normal and one with the "clone" setting. when i burn either of them, the data seems to be fine, but they don't seem to be bootable. any advice? | 17:16 |
| rautamiekka | moose1: I agree with Slart. Linux Mint must be another distro with Ub codebase but I'm not completely sure with that | 17:16 |
| tommis | moose1, yep but isn`t worth of dooing | 17:16 |
| moose1 | I installed the mint additions to try them, then tried to uninstall. I'm concerned that it won leave any GUI. | 17:17 |
| NewToDB2 | Hi -- I'm listening to Raul Chong's intro videos for DB2-C express. early on he mentions a command -- db2icrt -- which I do not have. I am on linux and just downloaded and installed the latest tarball | 17:17 |
| sipior | josh-N: well, what are you trying to boot with it? | 17:17 |
| josh-N | sipior: an old iMac | 17:18 |
| mw44118-work | Is there a tool for ubuntu server that lets me customize a list of packages I need to have installed on a new server? | 17:18 |
| Slart | !automate | mw44118-work | 17:18 |
| ubottu | mw44118-work: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 17:18 |
| Slart | !clone | mw44118-work | 17:18 |
| ubottu | mw44118-work: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 17:18 |
| josh-N | the iMac is booting from the original CD, but there are some read errors | 17:19 |
| sipior | josh-N: the system folder generally needs to be "blessed" to boot. unfortunately, this is rather off-topic for this channel :-) | 17:19 |
| moose1 | how do I restore usplash and login defaults? | 17:20 |

| tyler_d2 | here is good bonez2046 | 17:21 |
| tyler_d2 | bonez2046: can you still ping the source?(more detail).... windows share? fstab? using what fs? | 17:21 |
| === cp is now known as Guest30475 | ||
| bonez2046 | tyler_d2: yes, I can ping them.. I have set up cups 1.4 on my ubuntu box.. but if I enter the control and attempt to change settings CUPS gives errors.. and when attempting to add shared printer from win boxes.. the shares are invisible | 17:22 |
| josh-N | sipior: as a more general question, how do i tell K3b to make a real raw copy? (the system folder should stay blessed when the disk is copied byte by byte, right?) | 17:23 |
| sipior | josh-N: yes, it certainly should. | 17:23 |
| Redaxxx | How can I check which version of Xfce I'm running? | 17:24 |
| sipior | josh-N: i don't use K3b, so I'm afraid I can't answer your other question. | 17:24 |

| arakthor | Grey_Loki, if you want to start it from CLI put it in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin, or /bin, and run chmod +x filename | 17:27 |
| Grey_Loki | arakthor: can it be within a subdir of /usr/bin, and still be recognised? | 17:28 |
| mw44118-work | Grey_Loki: well, the short answer is to put it in any directory in $PATH. | 17:28 |
| arakthor | Grey_Loki, I'm not sure | 17:28 |
| abhi_nav | Redaxxx: reinstall it then naa? | 17:28 |
| Grey_Loki | arakthor: guess i'll have a play then - thanks :) | 17:28 |

| abhi_nav | Akkernight no | 17:29 |
| blakkheim | Akkernight: perfectly common for windows | 17:29 |
| arakthor | Grey_Loki, if you have a folder with a program and resources; you could just leave it somewhere and then put a simlink to executable somewhere in $PATH (as mw44118-work said) | 17:30 |

| conb123 | Which file system is best to use? Ext3, Ext4 or XFS? I have heard very good things about XFS | 17:37 |
| ania_ | omg to many questions | 17:37 |
| ubunewb_ | ext3 | 17:37 |
| jason_ | hey | 17:37 |
| ania_ | best ext4 prefered ext3 | 17:38 |
| blakkheim | conb123: depends on your needs | 17:38 |
| rsk | conb123 what do you want from the filesystem | 17:38 |
| abhi_nav_ | Akkernight i was disconnected repeat if you had said something | 17:38 |
| conb123 | Well it's just I have heard that XFS is a lot faster than ext3 | 17:38 |
| arjunvj3 | xfs is good, but using it with fuse uses too much ram ...... not sure abt it though | 17:38 |
| Akkernight | abhi_nav, so failed disk burn? | 17:38 |
| rsk | conb123 that's true in some cases, in some cases ext3 is faster. | 17:38 |
| LinuxAdmin | does anybody knows why I can't install ubuntu-vm-builder? | 17:39 |
| rsk | conb123 if you want speed use ext2 | 17:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | should i bother with webdav & apache 2? | 17:39 |
| rsk | brontosaurusrex only if you want to bother with it | 17:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | or just enable ftp/ssh access? | 17:39 |
| sipior | LinuxAdmin: what happened when you ran apt-get with --fix-missing? | 17:39 |
| conb123 | rsk: But ext2 is an old format | 17:39 |
| rsk | conb123 it is | 17:39 |
| LinuxAdmin | it starts to install to many packages, postfix included | 17:40 |
| rsk | conb123 it's still faster | 17:40 |
| LinuxAdmin | I don't want postfix | 17:40 |
| rsk | conb123 and that's what you wanted | 17:40 |
| itheos | hey what does this warning means "WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display." | 17:40 |
| rsk | itheos dga = direct graphics acceleration afaik | 17:40 |
| sipior | LinuxAdmin: you can always try uninstalling it later. or simply turn it off. | 17:40 |

| LinuxAdmin | do you know why is #ubuntu-server so calm? | 17:43 |
| niklasfi | how do i add a .ppk file to my ssh-client? | 17:43 |
| sipior | LinuxAdmin: so, if i understand you correctly, you don't want to fix your problem, because then you would have too many packages installed? i guess if your goal is a clean system that is absolutely useless, you may be on to something. | 17:43 |
| LinuxAdmin | no one answers me? | 17:43 |
| josh-N | itheos: people are more likely to understand your problem if you tell them under which circumstances you get the warning. | 17:43 |
| seanbrystone | blakkheim, but that's like telling me to go google it | 17:43 |
| sipior | LinuxAdmin: perhaps remove bash as well? | 17:43 |
| psusi | rsk: you should stick to ext4 and maybe turn off journaling for best speed, rather than ext2.. there are other features in ext4 that make it faster than ext2 | 17:44 |
| LinuxAdmin | I don't want that, but I can't understand why I have to install a mail server if it is not my goal | 17:44 |

| zealiod | i would like to make a custom version of the ubuntu distro with all the packages i need available offline on the disk... is this possible? | 17:57 |
| maverick_ | psusi, i want to replace it just format /root and use all like /home /var same as old | 17:57 |
| psusi | maverick_: do you already have /home on its own partition? if so then just install and tell it to do manual partitioning, choose the existing root and /home partitions like you did before, and just set it to not format the /home partition... or yea, you can just do an in place upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 17:58 |
| duffydack | I have a multibooting usb stick with various partitions and distros, I wanna back it up.. just dd if=/dev/sdb of=usbstick.img enough? | 17:58 |
| maverick_ | psusi, the main problem is i currently have LVM partation, but while trying to install new one it didnt show my current LVM partation, so i am unable to select my old /home /var .. | 17:59 |
| psusi | duffydack: that's not a very good way to back it up since restoring to a stick of a different size is problematic, and it copies free blocks too | 18:00 |
| meganerd | duffydack: that will back up the whole disk yes. You may want to backup each partition individually. partimage is your friend here, of course something like clonezilla provides a nice GUI wrapper. | 18:00 |
| psusi | maverick_: are you using the livecd or the alternate installer? the livecd does not normally support lvm, but you can install the lvm package and then it pretty much works | 18:01 |
| oddy | Hi, I un-installed pulseaudio yesterday to fix some audio-errors i was having and the volume happlet has vanished from my notification area. any ideas? | 18:01 |
| maverick_ | psusi, livecd | 18:01 |
| meganerd | duffydack: in addition to what psusi said, there are other complications. You could use dd (or better ddrescue) on each partition | 18:01 |
| psusi | maverick_: sudo apt-get install lvm2 | 18:01 |
| psusi | maverick_: before you start the installer | 18:01 |
| psusi | maverick_: then sudo lvs and see if it shows the volumes | 18:02 |

| gmspence___ | dunno why my external drives no show - i bang in lsusb into the terminal and they are definately connected - not even showing in gparted. am stumpted | 18:06 |
| meganerd | oddy: chrome uses even more memory | 18:06 |
| enthus | yes ofcourse..earlier not now! | 18:06 |
| oddy | SatManUK: probably yes. i have had issues with keyboard just before my computer died. does it work on other OS's? | 18:06 |
| mneptok | SatManUK: 256MB RAM is very, VERY low for a DE like Kubuntu | 18:06 |
| oddy | meganerd: yeah but its faster! | 18:06 |
| enthus | oddy: currently i m using firefox | 18:06 |
| oddy | Yeah, SatManUK, you'd be better off with Xubuntu with XFCE. | 18:07 |

| SatManUK | enthus: 4.4.1 is stable | 18:08 |
| oddy | You probably need Xubuntu then SatManUK. | 18:08 |
| meganerd | MozillaGuerrilla: of course you will need more room for stuff other than the OS. You will need the space for the OS plus whatever data you put in it | 18:08 |
| oddy | enthus: if you just install it from the 'Software Centre' you'll get the best version for you :) | 18:08 |

| oddy | meganerd: I'd give it 6GB if it's just for mucking about | 18:08 |
| SatManUK | i suspect so.. | 18:08 |
| SatManUK | i thought you meant hd space | 18:09 |
| meganerd | MozillaGuerrilla: you can define a 20 GiB hard drive, but it won't actually use 20 GiB. It will take up the space that is actually in use. | 18:09 |
| enthus | SatManUK: how much memory it takes? | 18:09 |
| MozillaGuerrilla | M.N., Thats what i tht i jst wntd 2 mk sure thanks | 18:09 |

| meganerd | enthus: it depends on your ISP | 18:12 |
| oddy | meganerd: he means file size :) | 18:12 |
| SatManUK | shame i can't just boot from an iso on a hd lol i don't have no blank disks on me at the moment | 18:12 |
| MozillaGuerrilla | ubuntu was a bit slower but still ran alright, but the real noticable difference was w xubuntu! Look mom no spudder!! | 18:12 |

| oddy | joris_: have you been to hardware drivers in system -> administration yet? | 18:15 |
| Mimi | Hey, I have an odd sound problem. Background: (THIS ISN'T THE PROBLEM) but I listen to music with headphones, but there's background noise (white noise, I guess), SO, I go to terminal and run "alsamixer". I turn down the MASTER and then put PCM up. I'm on a laptop, if it matters. Anyway, all GREAT so far :) But now, the PROBLEM is this: if I use the karmic volume applet on the panel, or use my laptop's Vol Up / Vol Down | 18:15 |
| Mimi | buttons, THEN the alsamixer resets to master 100% and PCM 100%. In other words: OWWWWWWW!! MY EARSIES!!!!! So what do I do now? | 18:15 |
| Aquina | Does someone know how to change a launchpad account password? Plaese help! | 18:15 |
| Tharok | eax is it an ntfs disk= | 18:15 |
| joris_ | yes there are the 185 drivers installed, but i cannot upgrade | 18:15 |
| MozillaGuerrilla | I like the way xfce has the "desks" all laid out in a row and the way u can drag boxes from 1 to the othr | 18:15 |
| SatManUK | I am setting up a training course teaching the basics of linux and also I wish to teach "ECDL 4 Linux" | 18:15 |
| eax | Tharok: Nope, ext4 :) | 18:15 |
| SatManUK | I don't think there are many community based companies teaching this | 18:15 |
| SatManUK | but i am a student myself so have limited funds.. | 18:16 |
| oddy | joris_: your best bet is to wait for Lucid Lynx. They'll update it when they feel it is ready :) | 18:16 |
| Mimi | BTW the reason that I go to alsamixer in the first place, is to eliminate the white noise | 18:16 |
| meganerd | dharrison: just ask your question | 18:16 |
| oddy | Mimi: have you tried using the gnome-volume-control-applet and right clicking? | 18:16 |
| airtonix | joris_, why was it a bad idea ? | 18:16 |
| mefuntee | hi all | 18:16 |
| Mimi | oddy, is that the applet that comes by default? | 18:16 |
| joris_ | yeah but I have some overscan issues with my tv-out and read that the 190 drivers fix it | 18:16 |

| duffydack | Pici, Package partimage is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 18:28 |
| Pici | duffydack: Are you perchance on AMD64? | 18:29 |

| ubottu | fabri: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 18:29 |
| duffydack | Pici, yes | 18:29 |
| Pici | duffydack: I only see it available for i386: partimage | 0.6.7-2ubuntu2 | karmic/universe | source, i386 | 18:29 |
| oddy | right ubuntu-ers, i'm off. glad i could help whoever i've helped :) | 18:29 |
| fabri | is foro in ingles | 18:29 |
| Pici | Stargaze: Thats not italian. | 18:29 |
| bpocock | how do i disable the gnome-settings-daemon? | 18:29 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, what are you trying to achieve that needs the acx100 driver? i see firmware for such a device but not a driver by the same name | 18:29 |
| cpd-linux_ | olá... pessoal | 18:29 |
| meganerd | duffydack: have a look at clonezilla, it provides a nice front end to partimage | 18:29 |
| oddy | part (byebye) | 18:29 |
| Pici | fabri: /join #ubuntu-es | 18:29 |
| mneptok | fabri: Ingles solamente en este canal, pf. | 18:30 |
| Pici | !br | cpd-linux_ | 18:30 |
| ubottu | cpd-linux_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 18:30 |
| fabri | ok thank | 18:30 |
| cpd-linux_ | ok | 18:30 |
| mneptok | fabri: de anada | 18:30 |
| mneptok | *nada | 18:30 |
| duffydack | meganerd, yeah I use it, but Id rather not boot it up for this task.. besides, clonezilla is on the usb stick i wanna image | 18:31 |
| fr3nzy | Well, I'm sure the driver is in the normal ubuntu distro, but when I install ubuntu alternate (9.10) (just the basic command line system) the drivers don't get included with the installation, the wifi card (for which this acx100 driver is) is detected properly by the lshw. So I'm wondering how to make it work, and there's not much info regarding both ubuntu karmic and the included acx100 driver. | 18:32 |
| meganerd | duffydack: I know, I have the 64bit version of Ubuntu on all my machines, no partimage kinda sucks | 18:32 |
| fr3nzy | Anyone had any experience with this? | 18:32 |
| duffydack | meganerd, i`ll see how a compiled version works out.... | 18:32 |
| meganerd | duffydack: I also carry systemrescuecd on a USB key wherever I go | 18:32 |
| meganerd | duffydack: I have never bothered with manually compiling it | 18:32 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, not planning on installing the gui system? | 18:33 |
| * Stargaze recommends Ultilex 5 for rescuing system | 18:33 | |
| smacky_ | bash: cdmod: command not found | 18:33 |
| meganerd | duffydack: not a bad idea IMO | 18:33 |
| === lanoxx- is now known as lanoxx | ||
| riktking | Anyone know how to change the default vnc port ? | 18:33 |
| duffydack | ugh, it needs z more recent bzip2 | 18:33 |
| duffydack | this is why I hate compiling.. | 18:33 |
| fr3nzy | acicula, I might do that later, you think it will be easier with the gui tools? I'm not that afraid of the command line, so I was curious if I can get it solved first. Having access to the internet before installing all the other packages would be nice. | 18:34 |
| wrinkliez | hey guys. is apt-get a frontend for aptitude? or the other way around? im confused | 18:35 |
| deadpigeon | other way round | 18:35 |
| deadpigeon | er, isnt aptitude cmd line too? | 18:35 |
| wrinkliez | yep | 18:35 |
| seth | i dunno | 18:35 |
| wrinkliez | it is | 18:35 |
| deadpigeon | synaptic package manager is the frontend | 18:35 |
| wizard_ | aptitude is command line, yes | 18:36 |
| Stargaze | yes, it displays an interface in terminal | 18:36 |
| seth | ^^ | 18:36 |
| wrinkliez | well then whats the difference between aptitude and apt-get lol | 18:36 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, well having a working gui and an updated system makes things a bit easier yeah | 18:36 |
| wizard_ | wrinkliez: the different is very little. | 18:36 |
| daniskami | both are independent and both are interfaces to the package management systems | 18:36 |
| wizard_ | difference* | 18:36 |
| llutz | wrinkliez: nothing to laugh at, both are frontends to apt | 18:36 |
| fr3nzy | I can't update, since I have only wifi access to the internet atm. | 18:36 |
| daniskami | aptitude keeps logs which is nice by the way | 18:36 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, from the acx100 wikipage i gather it should just be in the mainline kernel, though getting wireless to work from the console requires some effort | 18:36 |
| wrinkliez | why would you create something so similar though i dont understand | 18:36 |
| tourt | hello guys | 18:36 |
| niklasfi | hello! I have the following problem: i have generated a private key file with puttygen under windows. i would now like to use that key to log into my server under ubuntu via ssh. i have copied and renamed the .ppk file to ~/.ssh/id_rsa and chmodded to 700. I can log on to the server using putty when i reference the keyfile. why can't i with the "ssh" command? | 18:36 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, what does iwconfig give as output? | 18:37 |
| wrinkliez | the reason i ask is because ive used apt-get my entire ubuntu life until i realized you search with aptitude search blahblah | 18:37 |
| deadpigeon | because flavor is tastey. | 18:37 |
| seth | brasero is losing my patience... | 18:37 |
| deadpigeon | wrinkliez: same thing use whatever is more comfortable. | 18:37 |
| Newky | niklasfi: jus use ssh-keygen to generate a new rsa key | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | in my home folder i got this little script which is this #!/bin/bash | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | #Make iso from MPG's | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | dvdauthor -o dvd -t $1 && | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | dvdauthor -o dvd -T && | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.iso dvd/ && | 18:37 |
| FloodBot3 | smacky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:37 |
| smacky_ | exit what are the commands to install it plz | 18:37 |
| daniskami | wrinkliez: that would be apt-cache search otherwise | 18:37 |
| niklasfi | Newky: but then how do i add a second key to the server | 18:37 |
| AlVaRiToOo | olaaaaaaaaaaaa | 18:38 |
| wrinkliez | daniskami: ah. well... thanks | 18:38 |
| AlVaRiToOo | ai alguien | 18:38 |
| tourt | is there anyone with experience with ubuntu enterprise cloud? I'm trying to create instances but they all stop after being created. Does anyone got into a similar situation? | 18:38 |
| fr3nzy | acicula, there's no local name associated for the device as of yet, I will need to get the driver to work firts, I think. | 18:38 |
| daniskami | wrinkliez: I've got used to aptitude because it does it all | 18:38 |
| Newky | niklasfi: append it to the id_rsa.pub | 18:38 |
| Newky | on server side | 18:38 |
| AlVaRiToOo | dou you like my | 18:38 |
| jaypur | i want to browse my server by ssh with nautilus, but i want to access all files with all privileges, i had installed nautilus but it can not display, and i've already connected nautilus with ssh, but i can't create or modify some filmes, plz help! | 18:38 |
| smacky_ | how do i fix this plz bash: cdmod: command not found | 18:38 |
| wizard_ | daniskami: I use apt-get because I find it more comfortable to type. Faster. | 18:38 |
| zamba | Newky: you mean authorized_keys now, right? | 18:39 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, well iwconfig will tell you that | 18:39 |
| riktking | Jaypur start nautillus with sudo | 18:39 |
| Newky | zamba: sorry ur rite | 18:39 |
| hystreni | What do i have to install to be able to play GO on the gnome ggzgamingzone network | 18:39 |
| tourt | \join #uec | 18:39 |
| daniskami | wizard_: I type aptiTAB and it's there ;) | 18:39 |
| lullabud | smacky_: is cdmod a real command? | 18:39 |
| jaypur | riktking, but how can i connect to my server? | 18:39 |
| jaypur | riktking, as a root | 18:39 |
| riktking | Jaypur Have u ssh'd in? | 18:39 |
| wizard_ | daniskami: I type apt-TAB, just as fast I suppose :) | 18:39 |
| Newky | niklasfi: jus copy the id_rsa to ur server homepage and do a cat id_rsa >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 18:40 |
| fr3nzy | Okay, I'll go check that out then, I'm sure there's no any driver currently associated with the wifi card. | 18:40 |
| Losha | smacky_: cdmod isn't a command. What are you trying to do? | 18:40 |
| fr3nzy | Thanks, and I guess I'll be back, shortly. :-) | 18:40 |
| riktking | Jaypur enable x forwarding use the switch -X, then when logged in via ssh type sudo nautillus | 18:40 |
| jaypur | riktking, ssh at the server and at the laptop | 18:40 |
| daniskami | wizard_: except that apt- usually is ambiguous (apt-cache, apt-config etc.), so you can't tab after apt-, but now I'm nitpicking | 18:41 |
| jaypur | riktking, aaah let me reinstall nautlius at the server... and then what should i do? | 18:41 |
| riktking | Jaypur so u type ssh user@address:port -X | 18:41 |
| jaypur | riktking, yes i've already done that... | 18:41 |
| riktking | Jaypur which starts ssh with x forwarding enabled, the just type sudo nautillus | 18:41 |
| jaypur | riktking, just a sec | 18:42 |
| riktking | Jaypur u have nautillus with root | 18:42 |
| jaypur | riktking, installing nautlius | 18:42 |
| riktking | Jaypur will run a lil slow depending on network connection | 18:42 |
| riktking | Ok | 18:42 |
| nasrullah | hi, I want to know if there is a blog or a guide website for xubuntu | 18:42 |
| pk__ | what is the latest name of openssh package for Karmic? | 18:42 |
| jozefk | i need a suggestion about the folders I need to back up if I want to do a fresh install. so far I back up /etc and /home | 18:43 |
| lullabud | jozefk: might check /usr for things like apache, samba, or other shared services. | 18:43 |
| duffydack | meganerd, hmm, only thing with partimage is you cant do more than 1 at a time,,, | 18:43 |
| jaypur | riktking, jan@jan-server:~$ sudo nautilus | 18:43 |
| jaypur | Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display: | 18:43 |
| jozefk | thanks | 18:44 |
| riktking | Jaypur is the system ur on linux or windows? | 18:44 |
| nasrullah | about xubuntu pls | 18:44 |
| jaypur | riktking, both on ubuntu | 18:44 |
| deostroll | do i need the alternate iso to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10? | 18:44 |
| acicula | deostroll, nope you can upgrade via update-manager | 18:45 |
| riktking | Jaypur, did u ssh with the -X switch? Not -x | 18:45 |
| seanbrystone | if i created a symlink from ~/.local/share/tomboy to ~/Ubuntu One would that mean my tomboy notes would go to the Ubuntu One cloud? And if so how do would I make the link, im not good with that link command | 18:45 |
| nasrullah | xubuntu.xubuntu pls | 18:45 |
| jaypur | -x??? | 18:45 |
| deostroll | acicula: can't rely on my internet connection... | 18:45 |
| acicula | seanbrystone, that just puts the link there id suspect | 18:45 |
| riktking | Jaypur it has to be -X | 18:45 |
| dayz | hi | 18:45 |
| dayz | does anyone know how to use lpr to print between page 2 and 5 using -Z options? | 18:45 |
| nasrullah | about xubuntu guide pls | 18:46 |
| seanbrystone | acicula, ah ok ill just use rsync then, thanks :) | 18:46 |
| jaypur | riktking, sudo nautilus -x? | 18:46 |
| jaypur | riktking, sorry i could not understand | 18:46 |
| riktking | Jaypur no ssh user@server -X | 18:46 |
| riktking | The sudo nautillus | 18:46 |
| nasrullah | no one cannot reply me???? | 18:47 |
| riktking | *Then | 18:47 |
| nasrullah | xubuntu pls.............. | 18:47 |
| riktking | Nasrulla - google ? | 18:47 |
| Losha | nasrullah: try /join #xubuntu | 18:47 |
| jaypur | riktking, ssh -p myport ip -x ??? | 18:48 |
| lahmas | Why would Ubuntu be a programmer's choice over other Linux distros? | 18:48 |
| nasrullah | rikting..ok google but I am searching for a blog or website pls | 18:48 |
| === djm_ is now known as Guest59987 | ||
| riktking | Jaypur yes but capital X not x | 18:48 |
| nasrullah | thank you lotha | 18:48 |
| jaypur | ok | 18:49 |
| jaypur | just a sec | 18:49 |
| Slart | lahmas: not sure... I don't think it's that different from the other major distros | 18:49 |
| pk__ | do i need to apt-get update just after installation in order to find packages | 18:49 |
| rsk | lahmas for a programmer you just want everything to work from the start | 18:49 |
| Losha | lahmas: why wouldn't it be? Easy setup, plenty of tools, popular, good first line support.... | 18:49 |
| rsk | lahmas ubuntu does that fairly well | 18:49 |
| fr3nzy | acicula, iwconfig printed only "no wireless extension" and it also printed out "eth0" which is my lan card, as far as I understand. | 18:49 |
| rsk | lahmas i guess that's why | 18:49 |
| daniskami | pk__: Yes. But probably the update manager which is in the upper right corner will prompt for your password and do it for you automatically | 18:49 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, yeah, afaik the acx is pretty horrible, its wiki says its in the ubuntu distro but i couldnt find it | 18:50 |
| kevbo1 | oddy: in case you're wondering i got it working :P there's a tutorial in the 64bit subforum on the forum | 18:50 |
| noren | hi all, i need some info on how to listen to streaming audio from CLI ~~ | 18:50 |
| pk__ | there is no update manager over here | 18:51 |
| pk__ | anyways managed it to update manually | 18:51 |
| eax | Hi there, I have an HDD that automounts, however, only root can write to it. I want all users to be able to write to it. How can I do that? :) | 18:51 |
| wizard_ | Is there any signifcant reason to use 64 bit? | 18:51 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, i think i've used that driver a year or two ago and quickly went for the windows driver via ndiswrapper and shortly after just swapped out the card | 18:51 |
| fr3nzy | Thanks for your time, though, acicula. I'll have to fiddle with it a bit more. :-) | 18:51 |
| wizard_ | What 64bit apps would the average user use for it? | 18:51 |
| pijita | ola | 18:51 |
| pijita | hay alguien español | 18:51 |
| acicula | wizard_, aside from the memory limit for end users there is little difference | 18:51 |
| acicula | !es | pijita | 18:51 |
| Slart | wizard_: you can use more memory | 18:51 |
| ubottu | pijita: 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. | 18:51 |
| fr3nzy | That's a nice one, any wifi card which you can recommend for ubuntu? | 18:51 |
| daniskami | pk__: remember that "apt-get update" only updates the package lists, you have to do "apt-get upgrade" in order to actually upgrade the packages | 18:52 |
| Slart | wizard_: you need 64bit or PAE to use more than 4GB of memory.. | 18:52 |
| Losha | eax: what type of filesystem? Who owns the top-level directory & what are its permissions set to? | 18:52 |
| wizard_ | Slart, acicula: yes, but most people don;t need more than a couple gigs of ram, so its almost useless for the average user. | 18:52 |
| ranjan | hi guys | 18:52 |
| eax | Losha: Ext4, what is the top-level directory and how do I check the permissions? | 18:52 |
| Slart | wizard_: the speed difference between 32 and 64bit is not really noticable.. unless you use some very specific comparison cases | 18:52 |
| vasilis | http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com | 18:52 |
| chadkouse | hey guys.. I'm trying to install ubuntu to a fakeraid 0 - the install went fine, it asked me if I wanted to activate my raid, etc... however now when it tries to boot I just get a blinking cursor | 18:52 |
| vasilis | hello | 18:52 |
| vasilis | all | 18:52 |
| pk__ | hmmm | 18:53 |
| vasilis | people | 18:53 |
| FloodBot3 | vasilis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:53 |
| pk__ | ranjan : you are supposed to ask your questions directly | 18:53 |
| vasilis | ok | 18:53 |
| Losha | eax: where is the volume mounted? Usually /media/somewhere? See anything like that? | 18:53 |
| vasilis | Can i send only name? | 18:53 |
| Slart | wizard_: I wouldn't say useless.. we have to start using it at some point.. we'll need that extra memory soon | 18:53 |
| eax | Losha: /media/sdd1 - Seems like Root owns it, permissions are: "drwxr-xr-x" | 18:53 |
| chadkouse | anyone have experience installing to a sata raid ? | 18:54 |
| vasilis | http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com | 18:55 |
| xerox1 | anyone with a thinkpad here? my leds for battery and power supply are both on if i am using the power supply; is that okay / normal? | 18:55 |
| Slart | wizard_: I look at it the other way around.. unless there is a specific reason to use 32bit I would go with 64bit | 18:55 |
| Losha | eax: to make it writable by anyone, open a terminal, cd /media/sdd1, then sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx . <-- that's a dot there, it's important, don't omit it! | 18:55 |
| eax | Losha: Thanks :) Trying that now | 18:55 |
| acicula | wizard_, i didnt say useless, but little difference for the end user, thats not the same, i think unless there are reasons to stick with 32bit 64bit is recommended | 18:55 |
| EmLoD | Problem: Panels (or taskbars) are floating over into my second screen, with a different resoultuin, resuling in not being able to use it properly. Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now... | 18:55 |
| eax | Losha: Works perfectly! Thanks a lot :D | 18:56 |
| Losha | vasilis: stop advertising your web site. It's against channel guidelines and will get you banned... | 18:56 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs is where id start | 18:56 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, not to sure on chipsets to recommend though | 18:56 |
| === Rene is now known as Guest94631 | ||
| acicula | fr3nzy, nothing involving texas instruments or broadcom in any case :) | 18:56 |
| fr3nzy | That's a good tip for a start. | 18:57 |
| deostroll | hi can any1 give me the link to karmic koala's alternate iso image download page? | 18:57 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, anyway try to do a normal install with gui and see what ubuntu comes up with in terms of drivers, but i never had much luck with it | 18:57 |
| Slart | deostroll: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate | 18:57 |
| Slart | !alternate | deostroll | 18:57 |
| ubottu | deostroll: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 18:57 |
| chadkouse | should my raid partition show up as system type GPT ? | 18:57 |
| Slart | deostroll: or you meant a direct link to the iso file? | 18:58 |
| fr3nzy | Maybe I should just ask generally. Since I might be spending some cash in the near future on my wifi hardware, what good wifi card + wifi ADSL router combo would you guys recommend for ubuntu? | 18:58 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, you can get it to work though via ndiswrapper, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434983 | 18:58 |
| laron_ | how can i search the repository for firefox extensions? | 18:58 |
| fr3nzy | Thanks, acicula, I'll look into it. | 18:58 |
| Slart | laron_: search for "firefox extension" in synaptic? or use apt-cache | 18:58 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, iirc the open source acx only does wep anyway | 18:59 |
| Slart | laron_: I usually install extensions from the mozilla site though | 18:59 |
| Losha | deostroll: 2nd link in google. Sometimes I think you're just not trying: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ | 18:59 |
| wizard_ | laron_: visit the mozilla website. That's where FireFox extensions live. | 18:59 |
| nico__ | I am having problems installing the cloud with 1 controller and 1 node. Once started, the node dies suddenly | 18:59 |
| wizard_ | !google Losha | 18:59 |
| fr3nzy | Acicula, and info about the stability opf the driver? Did it diconnect often? | 19:00 |
| laron_ | im working with the ltsp environment so i need to use the command line, and im interested in which extensions are in the repository | 19:00 |
| deostroll | Losha: thanx... | 19:00 |
| laron_ | i think apt-cache search "firefox extensions" will work | 19:00 |
| laron_ | thanks | 19:00 |
| soreau | fr3nzy: You want a router that can do wpa encryption and a wifi card that justworks without having to mess with installing drivers (which includes using ndiswrapper) | 19:00 |
| Losha | wizard_: despite channel policy, I think people should google first, then ask irc... | 19:00 |
| balsaq | I just tried to update and its stalling at 99% [Waiting for headers] whats wrong here? | 19:00 |
| wizard_ | Losha: I agree, 100% | 19:01 |
| balsaq | oh i see what it is | 19:01 |
| Losha | balsaq: network constipation, just be patient. Probably not on your end... | 19:01 |
| fr3nzy | More or less soreau. Foremost I'd like it to work properly, wothout the random disconnects and large losses of packets. | 19:01 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, ndiswrapper works a little but as awhole is quite horrible | 19:01 |
| fr3nzy | I've heard that before, acicula. | 19:02 |
| n-iCe | hi, how can I know whats the lastest version of the driver iwl3945 | 19:02 |
| soreau | fr3nzy: I use atheros chipsets and the ath*k drivers which seems to work quite well | 19:02 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, it was 15 euro to get an atheros chipset that worked properly. Re the acx driver the last frontpage update is from 2006, are you sure it just hasnt been dropped from the ubuntu kernel? | 19:02 |
| fr3nzy | It hasn't because the normal desktop install seems to get the drivers working. | 19:03 |
| Losha | fr3nzy: any router which can run tomato firmware is a good bet & well tested with plenty of support: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato | 19:03 |
| enthus | lol | 19:03 |
| fr3nzy | Thanks Losha. | 19:03 |
| EmLoD | Question: Panels are floating over into my second screen, with a different resoultion, so i can't see ot all. I'm Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now, can't seem to find a soulution to this... Is there a way to tell X where the panels should start\end | 19:03 |
| CharbeL | anyone from lebanon here ? | 19:03 |
| acicula | fr3nzy, oh ok, does it work with wpa too then? | 19:03 |
| n-iCe | hi, what's the package name for a iwl3945 wireless card | 19:04 |
| n-iCe | !iwl3945 | 19:04 |

| DrDank | Hey peeps.. anyone know how to make your menubars/panels transparent? | 19:05 |
| enthus | Anyone please :which version of kde did "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"will install? | 19:05 |
| airtonix | DrDank, right click on the panel and change the transparency | 19:05 |
| fr3nzy | same here acicula | 19:05 |
| DrDank | airtonix, i mean window panels | 19:05 |
| balsaq | DrDank, right click | 19:05 |
| wizard_ | enthus: kde4 I believe, but I dont use it so im not positive | 19:05 |
| Losha | CharbeL: might find someone in #ubuntu-arabic | 19:06 |
| airtonix | DrDank, window frames, can be made transparent if you are using compiz and emerald | 19:06 |
| jaypur | i can't move a folder from my laptop to my server by nautilus with ssh, can someone help me?? | 19:06 |
| DrDank | so I need emerald also? | 19:06 |

| balsaq | I just tried to uninstall google-chrome but it won't let me remove the url from the software source, it only lets me uncheck the box. how do i fix this? | 19:06 |
| sate | Hey guys I'm wondering how to open rar files in ubuntu? | 19:06 |
| airtonix | DrDank, yes and an emerald theme that makes them transparent | 19:06 |
| enthus | wizard_: Could you please tell me the exact version like 4.4.X? | 19:06 |
| noren | balsaq: sudo apt-get remove google-chrome | 19:07 |
| enthus | sate: using unrar.. :-) | 19:07 |
| wizard_ | DrDank: there are several "Window Managers" that allow for transparent window decorations. Compiz is the most pouplar, but if you prefer lightweight Window Managers like Fluxbox, that works too. | 19:07 |
| fr3nzy | I guess I might try the ndsiwrapper, and if it doesn't help much I'll have to invest some money in new wifi hardware. | 19:07 |
| DrDank | wizard, I have Compiz.. | 19:07 |
| enthus | sate: lol | 19:07 |
| balsaq | noren, its already been removed | 19:07 |
| sate | im on like 4 hours of sleep lol | 19:07 |
| CharbeL | thx Losha | 19:07 |
| balsaq | noren, the problem is that the link in the software source, it won't let me delete it | 19:07 |
| Losha | jaypur: does it have to be via nautilus? If ssh works, scp is a good way to copy stuff... | 19:07 |
| enthus | sate: you have to install unrar first from your synaptic package manager or through terminal! | 19:07 |

| jaypur | Losha, i want to move some files to my server, from my laptop to some directories of the server | 19:08 |
| enthus | sate: after that use this command "unrar -e <filename.rar> | 19:08 |
| Losha | jaypur: it's a copying tool that comes with the ssh package. Like cp only for copying *between* systems... | 19:08 |
| sate | Yup got it working thanks enthus | 19:09 |

I'm Useing Nvidia Twinview on a Laptop... Searched around for a few hours now, can't seem to find a soulution to this... Is there a way to tell X where the panels should start\end within the virtual monitor... | 19:12 |

| balsaq | noren_, there is nothing google highlighted in synaptic | 19:12 |

| Losha | Wackler1: there are different versions. Do you know which one you are running? | 19:22 |

| seanscot_ | get used to it | 19:31 |
| seanscot_ | lol | 19:31 |
| Losha | CharbeL: in that case, I'm guessing you don't have any data to lose, so you can probably not worry about a backup. Just do the upgrade. If it all goes horribly wrong, you can just reinstall and try again, right? | 19:32 |

| seanscot_ | damn | 19:35 |
| Losha | neo__: a wubi install? | 19:35 |
| seanscot_ | maybe i need to just do a clean xp install | 19:35 |
| VCoolio | happyface: you could maybe compile it and install to your home directory; but you may miss dependencies to build it | 19:35 |
| seanscot_ | and throw in the towel with ubuntu lol | 19:35 |
| psusi | neo__: if yuo did a WUBI install then it creates a big file on the windows ntfs partition, which contains the ext3/4 partition for Ubuntu | 19:35 |

| seanscot_ | i just cant change the boot order | 19:36 |
| seanscot_ | i tried following instructions on the forums | 19:36 |
| Losha | dbernar1: do you have a mail backend installed and configured e.g. sendmail or postfix or something? | 19:36 |
| neo__ | Will upgrade be a problem for me then? | 19:36 |
| seanscot_ | but i cant edit any of the files | 19:36 |
| CharbeL | seanscot_, i'm not here to know everything on the first day but at least to get help with some problems | 19:36 |
| psusi | seanscot_: what do you mean by "boot order"? | 19:36 |
| seanscot_ | ah i just mean in grub | 19:36 |
| psusi | it can mean different things | 19:36 |
| arakthor | psusi, I think seanscot_ wants to have grub default to booting windows | 19:36 |
| overclucker | aconran: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ , maybe | 19:36 |
| seanscot_ | instead of ubuntu being the default i need it to be xp | 19:37 |
| psusi | you mean you just want to change the order the entries appear on the menu in? | 19:37 |
| seanscot_ | yeah | 19:37 |
| [eXception] | hi | 19:37 |
| seanscot_ | so that the 9s thing is on xp | 19:37 |
| aconran | overclucker, thx | 19:37 |
| psusi | seanscot_: grub-set-default | 19:37 |
| [eXception] | whats the best ppa for latest thunderbird ? | 19:37 |
| aconran | overclucker, it doesn't even mention it :-/ | 19:38 |
| seanscot_ | sorry psusi , but where do i type that into ? | 19:38 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: Looks like it was spam blocker! | 19:38 |
| neo__ | hi | 19:38 |
| neo__ | i faced problem while cleaning upbootloader of windows | 19:38 |
| neo__ | i tried to remove wubi but it does not go | 19:38 |
| pedrovrm | hi, could someone help me? i was trying to install thinkfinger and now i can't login | 19:38 |
| Losha | dbernar1: cool, so it's working now? | 19:38 |
| psusi | seanscot_: in a terminal window... sudo grub-set-default x where is is the number of the entry starting with 0 | 19:38 |
| gaspard | is there a way to install only selected packets when installing ubuntu ? (i.e. i only want openssh then install each packet individually) | 19:39 |
| overclucker | aconran: no? wish I knew where to find ubuntu's file hierarchy sceme | 19:39 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: not 100% sure. Goes to my gmail fine, internally on the server, but not when sent to my domain. | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | gaspard | 19:39 |
| ubottu | gaspard: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:39 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: or so it seems. | 19:39 |
| seanscot_ | wow! that seems to have worked! | 19:39 |

| FloodBot3 | neo__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:40 |
| VCoolio | happyface: check out the 3rd option here; works with a ~/.screenrc it seems; https://launchpad.net/byobu | 19:40 |
| Losha | dbernar1: does your mail prog have a verbose mode (-v). Also, you can check the maillog for clues (/var/log/mail*) | 19:40 |
| neo__ | so what do i do if i do not get answers Sir? shall i not ask again | 19:41 |
| gaspard | thnx overclucker , but don't have any cd rom drive on my server and the usb-creator doesn't seem to work with mini.iso .... i am trying ubuntu-server | 19:41 |
| qetuR | Hi! How do I install the nvidia grafikdriver for Xubuntu? | 19:41 |
| Slart | neo__: you should write your question on 1 line.. if you don't get an answer you should wait 10-15 minutes before repeating.. use the time to search forums, improve the question, provide more details and so on | 19:42 |
| Slart | neo__: the floodbot reacts to several lines by the same person within a short period of time. | 19:42 |
| gaspard | that's because i install from usb stick | 19:42 |
| aconran | Is anyone aware of any projects looking to implement a Gnome like clone (rather than Kde) in Qt? | 19:42 |
| neo__ | Slart:I have been working on this problem for a week or so | 19:42 |
| neo__ | did not get any solution..pardon me | 19:43 |
| Losha | aconran: because the world needs another clone of gnome? | 19:43 |
| seanscot_ | damn , that didnt work :( | 19:43 |
| natrixnatrix89 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often | 19:43 |
| seanscot_ | *sighs* | 19:43 |
| aconran | Losha, right :) | 19:43 |
| arakthor | seanscot_, what did it do? | 19:44 |
| pedrovrm | hi, could someone help me? i was trying to install thinkfinger and now i can't login | 19:44 |
| Slart | neo__: from the 4 lines you wrote before I can't really say if I know the answer to your problem or not.. provide details about version of ubuntu, error messages, what you're trying to achieve and so on | 19:44 |
| aconran | Losha, I just prefer the Qt api as opposed to gtk... but can't stand using KDE in comparison to gnome | 19:44 |
| seanscot_ | sudo grub-set-default 10 | 19:44 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: Thanks, I was looking for the log and for some reason did not find it, although it was right in /var/log/mail.* | 19:44 |
| harry-houdini1 | anyone able to tell me if the LTS version of ubuntu supports raid /lvm/ and grub2? | 19:45 |
| arakthor | seanscot_, and what did it change? | 19:45 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: It was denied by spamhaus something | 19:45 |
| seanscot_ | it asked me for the password | 19:45 |
| natrixnatrix89 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often | 19:45 |
| seanscot_ | but it didnt do anything when i rebooted | 19:45 |
| neo__ | Slart: I installed ubuntu using Wubi .Now when iremoved it and tried normal install,the bootloader does not detect the new version...how do i remove the previous GRUB n replace the WUBI grub with a normal one | 19:45 |
| Losha | aconran: I don't use either, but certain kde apps are better than their gnome counterparts e.g. k3b, klibido. I'd be happy if they'd just fix more gnome bugs... | 19:45 |
| neo__ | problem is with Grub not WUbi | 19:46 |
| Slart | neo__: I have no idea what wubi does or how it handles grub and booting.. on a normal system you run "sudo update-grub" and it looks around for operating systems to boot and puts them in a boot menu | 19:47 |
| neo__ | Slart : Also Wubi has a limited space of #) GB only for ubuntu...i need to give it 50 GB how do i do it???? any idea...my drive on which ubuntu is stored is a 50 gb drive.... | 19:47 |
| seanscot_ | ok ive just installed "startup manager" | 19:47 |
| seanscot_ | gonna reboot and see if changing it on that works | 19:47 |
| seanscot_ | cheers | 19:47 |
| Slart | seanscot_: I'm not sure if startup-manager works on the new grub | 19:48 |
| neo__ | Also Wubi has a limited space of 30 GB only for ubuntu...i need to give it 50 GB how do i do it???? any idea...my drive on which ubuntu is stored is a 50 gb drive.... | 19:48 |
| slacker_nl | neo__: create second disk for your /home? | 19:48 |
| dbernar1 | Losha: and I requested that it be removed, so should be fine after that. Thanks again. | 19:48 |
| neo__ | It it safe to upgrade to the new grub..i am a bit afraid | 19:48 |
| arakthor | :q | 19:48 |
| slacker_nl | neo__: it has been working for me :) | 19:48 |
| rsk | neo__ you don't have too | 19:48 |
| neo__ | how do i do that slacker_al | 19:49 |
| happyface | VCoolio: there's instructions on what to do if you don't have root in the byobu readme | 19:49 |
| neo__ | I am much of a new bie.Some guide will be nice. | 19:49 |
| VCoolio | happyface: cool, you're settled then | 19:49 |
| harry-houdini1 | anyone able to tell me if any of the installers support raid /lvm besides karmic 9.1 alternative cd? | 19:50 |
| neo__ | I tried GRUB 1.97 beta in the new fedora 12. It could not detect Windows as second OS ,thats why i am scared | 19:51 |
| markdymek_ | can someone help me install nvidia drivers | 19:51 |
| harry-houdini1 | I would prefer the lts version but it doesnt appear the installer supports raid/lvm/grub2 without some finagling | 19:51 |
| === mgagne is now known as wftl | ||
| gaspard | i gonna try ubuntu server, thnx 4 help | 19:51 |
| markdymek_ | have nvidia 9400 | 19:51 |
| Slart | harry-houdini1: I don't think the regular desktop installer handles raid/lvm.. not sure if there are an other, more exotic, installers out there.. I would go with the alternate installer if I needed raid/lvm... the system itself will be the same after the install.. it's just the installer that is text based | 19:51 |
| dmweyer | hi all | 19:51 |
| dmweyer | quick question if I may | 19:51 |
| neo__ | Anyone?? | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | markdymek_: System>Admin...>hardware drivers does not work ? | 19:51 |
| slacker_nl | neo__: http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=223945 < have a look in this guys sig, he has plenty on grub2, click on about me | 19:51 |
| Slart | dmweyer: go ahead.. ask | 19:51 |
| overclucker | neo__: grub2 takes for ever to load, for many people | 19:52 |
| dmweyer | can anyone tell me how I can connect to a pop3 account to see how many emails are on the server for that account? | 19:52 |
| happyface | VCoolio: yea you just download a compressed file and extract to home, it then works when you just use "screen" normally | 19:52 |
| guillem_ | hols | 19:52 |
| harry-houdini1 | Slart,does the latest release of the LTS have an alternate cd that supports the raid and lvm I am trying to get away from karmic...I have been very unhappy with it | 19:52 |
| neo__ | overclucker: so what are u suggesting | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | dmweyer: a mail notification program ? | 19:52 |
| psusi | neo__: try it and find out... as long as you have your livecd you can always go back if it doesn't work out | 19:52 |
| elnur | Somebody please tell me the point of LTS releases. Does it mean that if I use LTS I end up with older versions of packages? | 19:52 |

| seanbrystone | !LTS | elnur | 19:53 |
| ubottu | elnur: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 19:53 |
| guillem_ | ...tots els... | 19:53 |

| guillem_ | 3. Abstenir-se de mantenir relacions sexuals (جماع ǧimā‘) durant el dia. | 19:53 |
| Slart | harry-houdini1: the latest LTS release is 8.04.. I comes as a regular desktop install, alternate install.. I suppose there is a server installer too if you want that | 19:53 |
| overclucker | use grub .97 unless you are feeling esplorative | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | elnur: they are supported for more time | 19:53 |
| neo__ | yeah but in this new grub i do not know how to restore the grub... | 19:53 |
| Slart | harry-houdini1: if you mean 10.04 it isn't released yet | 19:53 |
| FrozenFire | I just added an ATI Radeon x300 PCI-e graphics card to my system. Can someone point me to the documentation on how to get it going? Searching Google didn't produce. | 19:53 |
| harry-houdini1 | slart, ah well then there is some hope of support of raid and lvm on the 8.04 release then , next question is will i be able to preserve my karmic home directory with it? | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | dmweyer: maybe getmail or fetchmail can do that | 19:54 |
| elnur | seanbrystone, erUSUL, I understand that. But I don't understand what that means. I know that their repos will be kept alive longer, but do their repos get latest versions of packages? | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: it should just work (tm) | 19:54 |
| dmweyer | will that download the mail or just reply with a count of how many email are on the server/ | 19:54 |
| magedragon25 | FrozenFire: go to system, admin, hardware drivers | 19:54 |
| KB1JWQ | Where do I go to report a bug with the Ubuntu website? | 19:54 |
| psusi | neo__: you mean go back to grub legacy? run grub-setup from the livecd | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | elnur: no; | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | !latest | elnur | 19:54 |
| ubottu | elnur: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 19:54 |
| FrozenFire | erUSUL: Specifically, I'm looking to use the card's S-Video out to my TV | 19:55 |
| FrozenFire | At present, it doesn't output anything | 19:55 |
| Pici | KB1JWQ: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/ | 19:55 |
| Slart | harry-houdini1: yes.. you can install it and preserve the home folder.. I'm not sure if it all the software will like it though... if something has changed the config file format since 8.04 was released it might not understand the files in your home folder.. documents and such shouldn't be a problem though | 19:55 |
| seanbrystone | elnur, ubuntu is not a distro for "Just-Released-This-Minute" packages tend to be pretty old for stability reasons... | 19:55 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: System>Pereferences>screen resolution does not work ? | 19:55 |
| KB1JWQ | Pici: Thanks. | 19:56 |
| Slart | harry-houdini1: I still strongly recommend backups.. as always.. there are plenty of opportunities to make mistakes.. and recoving hundreds of files is soo boring.. if even possible | 19:56 |
| FrozenFire | erUSUL: I assume you mean Display. I'm on 9.10. Nothing shows but my primary onboard graphics. | 19:56 |
| elnur | erUSUL, OK. So Ubuntu doesn't use latest versions. But compared to newer releases of the same Ubuntu, do LTS releases get those new versions, or stay with version that came out with LTS release and just get security fixes? | 19:56 |
| KB1JWQ | Pici: Hahahaha Nuzum runs that? I know him, I'm seeing him on Wednesday I think. | 19:56 |
| harry-houdini1 | ok thanks I guess I will try it then , hope to god it's a better experience than karmic has been...Yes i have made a backup very recently so that wont be a problem | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: ok try with grandr | 19:56 |
| natrixnatrix89 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/395771/ please take a look - what could be causing this. the pc disconnects from wifi very often | 19:57 |
| erUSUL | !info grandr | FrozenFire | 19:57 |
| ubottu | FrozenFire: grandr (source: grandr): gtk interface to xrandr. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1+git20080326-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 128 kB | 19:57 |
| elnur | seanbrystone, OK. So Ubuntu doesn't use latest versions. But compared to newer releases of the same Ubuntu, do LTS releases get those new versions, or stay with version that came out with LTS release and just get security fixes? | 19:57 |
| FrozenFire | erUSUL: I tried xrandr --auto, but it didn't show anything. I'll try grandr, but I am fairly familiar with the CLI, if that's more efficient. | 19:57 |
| ceterus | ok, another shell scripting question, in csh i want to set a variable as todays date in yyyymmdd format, i use set DATE='date +%Y%m%d' but that sets it litterally as that text but that works fine in bash.. how can i do this in csh? | 19:57 |

| Slart | solow: there is "gnome-open" | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: see this wiki it has the xrandr incantations to S-Video | 19:59 |
| Losha | elnur: LTS releases get security fixes and bugfixes, but no new features. This means that over time, LTS gets more and more stable, but falls further and further behind in terms of new features. So you get to choose: do you want stability, or new features? If stability, use the LTS, if new features, use the latest release (9.10)... | 19:59 |
| localnutter | natrixnatrix89: Looks like poor signal (gets no response from AP/Wireless router) but I'm no expert on this. Anyone else able to shed some light on it? | 19:59 |
| Athlan | hi. ive a question: ive got ubuntu 9.10: How am i able to set the vlc player as my default video application? | 19:59 |
| solow | Slart, is this distro language, or linux language. because my code has to work on all linux distros. | 19:59 |
| KB1JWQ | Pici: Doing so. | 19:59 |
| FrozenFire | erUSUL: Would I need to install the proprietary driver for radeon? | 19:59 |
| Slart | solow: if you want to be specific you can also try things like "nautilus" or "thunar" | 20:00 |
| seanbrystone | elnur, Losha said it best, sorry I was fumbling around with making lables for my folders :) | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | ceterus: that wont work in bash eiother ' ' is not the ame as ` ` | 20:00 |
| Slart | solow: afaik gnome-open would work if gnome is installed and running.. there's probably something else for KDE or xfce | 20:00 |
| natrixnatrix89 | localnutter: yeah, The signal quality is changing all the time - from 0% to 70 | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: no; that is not possible for a X300 afaik | 20:00 |
| ceterus | ahh ill try that, sorry for the silly mistake | 20:00 |
| localnutter | Athlan: System - Preferences - Preferred Applications | 20:01 |
| Athlan | localnutter: should i type in vlc? | 20:01 |
| solow | Slart, and gnome is pretty much always there, right? or only on ubuntu? | 20:01 |
| Slart | solow: if you're writing an app that has to open a file browsing window I would suggest making this command configurable.. that way distro's can change it to whatever they want for their packages | 20:01 |
| erUSUL | ceterus: anyway in bash is cleaner to use $() (dunno if it works in csh frankly i thought that csh was going the way of the dodo) | 20:01 |
| elnur | Losha, Thanks for the answer I was looking for. One more question though: I use Debian now because of stability concerns. But Ubuntu has never versions of software compared to Debian. Is that true for LTS too? Is it as much reliable to use Ubuntu LTS instead of Debian? | 20:01 |
| elnur | seanbrystone, Yea. But thanks for your answers too. :) | 20:02 |
| localnutter | natrixnatrix89: Could be something else interfering. Maybe another AP on the same channel, or something else running on 2.4GHz (microwaves, video senders, doorbells, baby monitors etc). | 20:02 |
| seanbrystone | :D | 20:02 |
| elnur | erUSUL, Thank you for you answers. | 20:02 |
| ceterus | erUSUL, sadly the program i am using requires it otherwise i would never consider csh | 20:02 |

| ubottu | phrix: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:04 |

| elnur | kleus, what's your problem after trying that solution? | 20:04 |
| pk__ | but i want to disable checking gpg | 20:04 |

| axisys | another wierd think is also related to display .. if the laptop lid is closed all the way i am not getting any gnome menu bar on the top .. | 20:04 |
| Losha | elnur: that's hard to answer, as I don't use debian, and there are different repositories for debian so people can make the same tradeoffs of stability vs. features. I *can* tell you that 32-bit 8.04 LTS is very stable, and almost any significant problem you encounter with it will have been see already and have a fix or a workaround. That said, the ultimate in server stability is probably centos.... | 20:04 |
| Slart | solow: there might very well be.. but I don't know it.. it would make sense to have an enviroment variable or similar | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | pk__: that's dangerous/not possible | 20:04 |

| solow | Slart, well, if i knew what was being used, gnome or kde *what else is there?* i can decide what set of commands to use for the app. it will work on windows, and all distro's of linux | 20:05 |
| corpogen | its running lets see | 20:06 |
| elnur | Losha, So, CentOS falls even more behind in features compared to Debian? | 20:06 |
| elnur | kleus, You have to do that :) | 20:06 |
| Losha | brontosaurusrex: man chmod has a section on the meaning of the sticky bit.. | 20:06 |

| brontosaurusrex | Losha: ok, so thats something that can be found on all posix systems basically? | 20:06 |
| localnutter | Athlan Doesn't seem to offer that sort of granularity. I'll look... | 20:07 |
| Losha | elnur: I believe so. Centos' primary goal is server stability.... | 20:07 |
| elnur | Losha, Ok. Thanks again. Got new info to meditate on :) | 20:07 |
| Losha | brontosaurusrex: yes, I think it's a posix standard... | 20:07 |
| corpogen | the original file was 24 gb total, compressed it takes 7 gb. i wanted to move it to a portable drive but it never finish, i always get a error saying file too big and stoped at 4 gb. that is beacuse of the file system right? | 20:07 |
| localnutter | natrixnatrix89 are you using a native driver or ndiswrapper? And which release of Ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| magedragon25 | I have an hp pavillion dv6z with integrated fingerprint swiper....how do I find out what my hardware is, and where can i find the driver for it? | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | CentOS is RHEL rebranded | 20:07 |
| corpogen | the stuff that say that with ntfs files bigger than 4 gb can not be handled | 20:08 |
| Stargaze_ | correct | 20:08 |
| Slart | solow: well.. *all* linux distros will be very very hard.. there are linux distros running on small embedded systems.. without any displays at all, with gnome/KDE/xfce/other weird desktop enviroments.. some can use more than one file manager | 20:08 |
| acicula | corpogen, yes | 20:08 |
| natrixnatrix89 | localnutter: I'm using the one in the kernel. And I'm using 9.04 | 20:08 |

| wasutton3_ | is there a way to automatically scale the processor based on if the computer is on battery or ac power? | 20:08 |
| natrixnatrix89 | localnutter: whats ndiswrapper? | 20:08 |
| Azelphur | (20:03:19) solow: Slart, is there a command to ask linux what's installed? that way I can use the terminal what to use. :) | 20:09 |
| Azelphur | solow: lsb_release -d | 20:09 |
| Losha | solow: writing portable programs is an art in itself.... | 20:09 |
| Slart | solow: I think you might want to aim for "most regular desktop" linux systems.. with KDE/Gnome/xfce you'll probably cover 80% or more.. those last percentages will take lots more work | 20:09 |
| acicula | wasutton3, cpufreq-applet | 20:09 |
| kleus | elnur, at step 3, when i type sudo grub-install --root-directory [etc] i get an error | 20:09 |
| acicula | wasutton3, doesnt switch automatically when on ac though, maybe that can be done via laptop-mode | 20:09 |
| corpogen | the system file on this disk is msdos (right click-properties). which is the file limit for it? | 20:09 |
| kleus | elnur: grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda5 | 20:09 |
| localnutter | natrixnatrix89 ndiswrapper is for using Windows network drivers in Linux. A last resort! | 20:09 |
| wasutton3_ | acicula: i have that running but i would like it to automatically do that. Ill look into laptop-mode | 20:09 |
| erUSUL | corpogen: vfat fat32 msdos all is the same is 4 GiB - 1B | 20:10 |

| Slart | Zenker: anything that edits mp3-tags | 20:10 |
| kleus | i think so | 20:10 |
| acicula | wasutton3, or its passed via dbus as an event perhaps, all it takes is an echo into proc | 20:10 |
| natrixnatrix89 | localnutter: Ok. I'm using the driver that was already in kernel | 20:10 |
| solow | Slart, yes. I will. people may request others if they like. but the only problem is, where do i find the system used, and the command for each of these systems. e.g. kde, gnome etc. | 20:10 |
| duffydack | +1 easytag | 20:10 |
| solow | Azelphur, what does that command do? | 20:10 |

| elm669 | easytag for sure | 20:10 |
| Slart | Zenker: there are a gazillion of those in the repos =).. I've used easytag too | 20:10 |
| Myrtti | Zenker: exfalso ♥ | 20:10 |
| Azelphur | solow: it tells you the name of the linux distribution you are using (most of the time, some distros don't have lsb_release) | 20:11 |
| Zenker | ty i didnt know what 2 search for rolf | 20:11 |
| Losha | Zenker: there are tons of them. Every beginning programmer seems to write one. I use mp3info because it's cli-only... | 20:11 |
| localnutter | natrixnatrix89 Which version number is your wifi dongle? There's at least 4 bearing that model number | 20:11 |
| Slart | solow: as Azelphur suggested.. the lsb modules might be a way.. searching a process list might tell you if gnome/KDE is running.. there might be other ways too | 20:11 |
| azareth | hi all | 20:11 |
| solow | Azelphur, so, if i know the name of the distro, do i by default know what they use? *eg kde, gnome, etc* | 20:11 |
| Losha | solow: almost all of them have uname though... | 20:11 |
| Azelphur | solow: no | 20:12 |
| Losha | solow: there are entire books published on this topic I believe.... | 20:12 |
| azareth | I`m using live USB and after every restart my /tmp dir gets empty, how can I stop that | 20:12 |
| Azelphur | solow: your writing an app and you want it to work across all distros? | 20:12 |
| Slart | solow: note that just because you run a certain distro doesn't mean you use the default desktop enviroment.. but it might be a pretty good starting guess | 20:12 |
| pedrovrm | could someone help me? I can't log in after installing thinkfinger, and all my work are inside ubuntu | 20:12 |
| natrixnatrix89 | localnutter: I have no idea. It might be the fourth one | 20:12 |
| azareth | in the matter of fact I want to keep specific file(s) | 20:12 |
| Zenker | now to find a fast way to do em, i have more then 10 gb to do :) | 20:13 |
| erUSUL | Zenker: easytag can parse filnames to fill tags and viceversa | 20:13 |
| brontosaurusrex | Losha: thanks, its working as it is supposed to | 20:13 |
| solow | Azelphur, wellm yes and no. I want it to work on all distro's, eventually. but for now, using gnome, kde etc is enough. I want to know HOW to find out which one the distro uses using the terminal, and what command this desktop enviroment uses to open a folder. | 20:13 |
| Losha | Zenker: that's why I like mp3info. It's cli. so you can write scripts with it if you know how. GUIs are for people who have time on their hands... | 20:13 |

| Boondoklife | Haegin: I don't have a /usr/man? But I would think it would be 755. | 20:23 |
| Athlan | Iqbal: Hi | 20:23 |
| Boondoklife | ls -l | 20:23 |

| acicula | Athlan, what is it supposed to do? | 20:26 |
| jim--- | Some employees are visiting sites they shouldn't. I don't much feel like installing squid. What's a quick 'n easy way to blacklist a few domains? | 20:26 |
| llutz | Athlan:add alias ll="ls -la " to ~/.bashrc | 20:26 |
| acicula | jim---, drop the ip's on the gateway | 20:26 |
| rsk | jim--- you could do it easily with iptables | 20:27 |
| jrib | red: you could always read the output of « dircolors » | 20:27 |
| Boondoklife | red: just do ls -l it should give you all the info you need on the file. | 20:27 |
| jim--- | I thought iptables was all tcp/ip layer stuff | 20:27 |
| Haegin | llutz: thanks | 20:27 |
| Haegin | localnutter: thanks | 20:27 |
| acicula | jim---, tcp/ip is what you need to block | 20:27 |

| jim--- | acicula: how do I set up a rule to block domains? | 20:27 |
| Haegin | llutz: would the same be true for /usr/info? | 20:27 |
| overclucker | i know if you use opendns, you are able to manage blacklist, | 20:28 |
| lumpy | ./lumpy <tinkerbell> | 20:28 |
| jim--- | acicula: in particular I need to block wildcard subdomains, so I have no idea how many IP addresses the subs may map to. | 20:28 |
| jim--- | overclucker: hey that's not a bad idea. | 20:28 |
| llutz | Haegin: again, /usr/share/info? yes | 20:28 |
| acicula | jim---, you cant block domains, domains are names, that resolve to tcp/ips, you block ips | 20:28 |
| Athlan | llutz where is this directory situated? | 20:28 |
| acicula | resolve to ip adresses i mean | 20:29 |
| zenbamboo | x | 20:29 |
| Haegin | llutz: mine are in /usr not in /usr/share... | 20:29 |
| jim--- | acicula: but I can't know all the ips. I understand your suggestion now but it won't work out. | 20:29 |
| llutz | Haegin: why? | 20:29 |
| Athlan | llutz where is this directory or located? Home folder? | 20:29 |

| TannerF | How do i get my webcam to work with 8.04? | 20:29 |
| acicula | jim---, well you can block the dns requests, but then people can just use the ip adresses directly to access the sites | 20:29 |
| Haegin | llutz: I don't know - I just keep getting permission errors on /usr/man when it installs software | 20:29 |
| Haegin | I also have a /usr/share/man/ | 20:30 |
| Boondoklife | macman_: I dont have much experience with moving and install cross different pc's. Ubuntu is fairly forgiving though. As long as they are the same architecture and dont need different proprietary drivers, I would think you'd be fine. | 20:30 |
| jim--- | acicula: iff the webserver's set up without name-based vhosting, yeah. not a good bet. | 20:30 |
| llutz | Haegin: /usr/share/man it should be, seems you installed some stuff mixing it up | 20:30 |

| davidz84 | hey, just got rid of vista and installed 9.10 today. | 20:31 |
| jim--- | acicula: right but a lot of sites only work right if the correct HTTP Host header is included in the request. | 20:32 |
| jim--- | acicula: "a lot" is not "all" though, so your point is taken,. | 20:32 |
| arand | Is it possible to apply some sound filters/effect globally to all sound in system? | 20:32 |
| localnutter | TannerF: No quick answer to that - it depends on the chipset. The gspca based cameras tend to be a bit hit and mess | 20:32 |
| * Tupaka saluda | 20:32 | |
| acicula | acicula, afaik far less then should :D | 20:32 |
| TannerF | oh | 20:33 |
| localnutter | TannerF: *miss*, while UVC based webcams tend to work out of the box. I'd suggest going to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam and starting there. | 20:33 |
| meganerd | jim---: if you have a linux box rpoviding DNS, you could always put the domains mapped to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts | 20:33 |

| jrib | !helpme | markdymek_ | 20:37 |
| ubottu | markdymek_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 20:37 |
| localnutter | markdymek_ Right click on volume control, Click on "Sound Preferences", Go to the "Output" tab and make sure the balance slider is centred. | 20:37 |
| acicula | jim---, thats true, but its easy enough to fix in usermode, since its just a basic http header change. anyway just think a sec on how agressive you need to filter and if just talking to people visiting unsuitable sites is more practical? | 20:37 |
| markdymek_ | it is @localnutter | 20:37 |
| acicula | since filtering is kinda hard unless you go for whitelisting via a proxy? | 20:37 |

| jbendotnet | ahh, ok - sounds perfect | 20:42 |

| acicula | 17SAAL01W, also the uuid may have changed so you may have to correct that in fstab | 20:42 |
| meganerd | 17SAAL01W: that only copies the MBR | 20:42 |
| meganerd | 17SAAL01W: it leaves the partition table alone. It is only copiying the first 447 bytes | 20:42 |

| Slart | Zenker: not all settings.. but many user settings end up in the home folder.. in hidden files/directories (starting with a dot) | 20:50 |
| meganerd | 17SAAL01W: basically, since you already copied the partitions, you just need to do "dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/=sdY count=1 bs=446" | 20:50 |
| atrus | erUSUL: afaik, none of those support the indicator applet. | 20:50 |
| kubanc | is there a bug, because the prepare disk space does not show me any partition, but i have 2 NTFS partitions, 1 swap and 1 ext3 partition | 20:50 |
| 17SAAL01W | meganerd: actually, I just reformatted the partition before hopping on IRC | 20:50 |
| techpraxis | see, the folder (barn) has rwx for the group | 20:50 |
| meganerd | 17SAAL01W: alternatively, just use ddrescue to copy the whole thing, and then use parted or gparted to resize the partition | 20:50 |

| localnutter | markdymek_ OK, been checking, there's been various reports of the problem you have over the last few years, different RealTek chips but same result.

| ZykoticK9 | I often see people state they have an issue when they plug their headphones into Ubuntu that it doesn't mute their speakers (I take it this is common in Windows?), is this possible? Does it work for anyone? | 21:05 |
| sam555 | Slart: my bad :( | 21:05 |
| faron | anybody here familiar with uninstalling firefox plugins & extensions ? | 21:05 |
| Kaellman | overclucker, also, for example when i boot with live cd and enter "sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev" after mounting my wubi partition i get the same error. | 21:05 |
| techpraxis | what else controls the ability of a user to access and write to a directory owned by a group of which they are a member? | 21:05 |
| Alfons | čau je tu někdo z čech? | 21:05 |
| brontosaurusrex | so if i'd like to share some files with other users i would 'mount --bind /thatcommonFolder' to all the users home dir and then chmod 1777 /thatcommonFolder/user1' | 21:05 |
| Slart | sam555: no worries | 21:05 |
| jrib | Rabbitbunny: weird, what layout are you using? | 21:05 |
| techpraxis | whoa bronto, let me catch that | 21:06 |
| Kaellman | overclucker, i was hoping i could, after that update and reinstall grub. | 21:06 |
| airtonix | ZykoticK9, when i plug my headphones into the headphone socket on my laptop the speakers get turned off (as expected) | 21:06 |
| brontosaurusrex | for each user its own subdir that is? how silly is that? | 21:06 |
| sixofour | When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. How do I fix this? | 21:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | airtonix, thanks for the confirmation | 21:06 |
| Rabbitbunny | jrib: intl 105key | 21:06 |
| sam555 | Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/395810/ | 21:06 |
| jrib | Rabbitbunny: and layout? | 21:06 |
| techpraxis | why would you need to do that? why can't we in ubuntu do it differently. Please, someone expert please answer this | 21:06 |
| brontosaurusrex | techpraxis: thats the plan | 21:06 |
| localnutter | Right, I'm off. Need to do some work. Goodnight all. | 21:07 |
| Rabbitbunny | jrib: Err, US. Sorry. | 21:07 |
| airtonix | brontosaurusrex, whats the purpose of the --bind switch ? | 21:07 |
| Kaellman | overclucker, you there? | 21:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | techpraxis: i'd like all users to see/read other users file, but not delete them | 21:07 |

| brontosaurusrex | airtonix: no idea, thats from pure-ftps manual | 21:07 |
| overclucker | well, i nlove cd does /mnt/dev exist even? | 21:07 |
| overclucker | live | 21:07 |
| jrib | Rabbitbunny: qwerty? | 21:08 |
| Rabbitbunny | jrib: Yup. | 21:08 |
| sixofour | When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. How do I fix this? | 21:08 |
| techpraxis | i'm sorry i seem dumb. but i am not new to unix-y systems. NetBSD, FreeBSD, and years on Redhat. i have never had to spend more than 15 minutes or so trying to fix any permissions problem on any of these systems. but i have been working for over an hour to understand why ubuntu has this problem. | 21:08 |
| Emanon | brontosaurusrex: i think if you set members of the group to be able to read and execute but not write that should do the trick | 21:08 |
| leighman | hi guys, I've enabled the pae kernel on 32-bit to access more then 3 GB of ram but it's still showing 3GB,do I have to change something in my bios, do you know? | 21:08 |
| Slart | sam555: if you run the update-manager and click the settings-button.. there might be a setting to only show new LTS releases.. or show all new releases.. can you see if you can find that? I think it's the same settings as "system, administration, software sources" | 21:08 |
| jrib | Rabbitbunny: hmm, don't know then. See what the other options for a compose key do for you, maybe that will give some hints | 21:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | Emanon: ok, how would one do that? | 21:09 |
| Emanon | right click on the file (or whole folder) select properties | 21:09 |
| overclucker | Kaellman: anyways, if you have a separate root and boot partition, you dont have to enter /boot in grub | 21:09 |
| Emanon | go to the permissions tab | 21:09 |
| sixofour | When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. How do I fix this? | 21:10 |

| josh-N | meganerd: a related question - the data on the CD is only 640-ish MB, but the raw image will be about 760 MB which is too large for my 700MB recordable. i activated "overburning" in K3b, do you think that will cause problems? | 21:10 |
| Emanon | then in the "Group" row of checkboxes check read and execute and make sure write is unchecked | 21:10 |

| Elive_user85_en | how | 21:13 |
| jrib | Rabbitbunny: I don't know why the others behave differently | 21:13 |
| sam555 | Slart: I also tried to do an update using the 9.10 cd that was not the alternative and that did not work. Could that be the issue? | 21:13 |
| techpraxis | so does anyone know: i have a group. one member of that group can save without any problem to the folder i have defined for that group (which has write permission set for members of the group). another member of the group CANNOT save to that folder, despite being a member. | 21:13 |

| Samual | Hey i'm trying to run gnome-color-chooser, it worked before I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, but now I get this when running it: Initializing and starting gnome-color-chooser.. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gdk::PixbufError' | 21:23 |
| overclucker | Kaellman: might be a good idea, i havent used wubi in about a year, nor have i had to work around that specific problem | 21:23 |
| Emanon | thank you Myrtti | 21:23 |
| Samual | Any ideas? | 21:23 |
| Char | I have a question, and I'm not sure what I'd Google to find the answer so I'll ask here. Does Ubuntu (9.10, Gnome) have a character input method similar to Windows' Alt+[numbers] shortcut? | 21:23 |
| Kaellman | overclucker, Thanks for your time anyway :) | 21:23 |
| Slart | Char: nope | 21:24 |
| leighman | Char: you can use applications -> accessories -> character map | 21:24 |

| hoonches | Ubuntu won't install to my Dell Laptop. It keeps freezing permanently at stage "Finishing The Installation" at part "Setting users and passwords..." at 26% finshed. I've tried 2 Karmic CD's and one xubuntu CD. I checked the md5 sums on all of them and verified the CDs in the installer. Anyone available to help? | 21:24 |

| brontosaurusrex | Emanon: no, thats ok, ill do my way the part where multiple users have to upload to single folder and the group way when each can have its own folder (i need both options) | 21:25 |
| Kaellman | So.. Im trying to update and repair my grub after it failing in wubi. When i enter "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33 root=/dev/spd1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro" in grub, i get "cant find file" error. However, i know iv stated the right partition ( i have two- one for L and one for W). | 21:25 |
| Emanon | hoonches: it isnt frozen it just takes a REALLY long time | 21:25 |
| Kaellman | What is up with that? | 21:25 |
| Char | Thank you for the responses/link! | 21:25 |
| aurelien | hi, just to say to people who like using free software and Libre kernel, that you can find the .deb of the libre kernel 2.6.33 from fsfla.org here :: http://www.fscorsica.org/index-en.html | 21:25 |
| Char | That's very helpful | 21:25 |
| hoonches | Emanon: that is NOT normal. | 21:25 |
| SquidMedia | hello cand anybody help me ? | 21:25 |
| Slart | Char: you can vote on it.. personally I think it's a good idea http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13344/ | 21:25 |
| vemi | di si mirac | 21:25 |
| Emanon | probably not but until it gets fixed its the way it is hoonches | 21:25 |
| werner_ | jemand deutsches da? | 21:25 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: that was for staffuser? hmm - one idea: try to double check the group names (depends on how you added him) - and did he log in afresh *after* being assigned to the group? | 21:26 |
| Zenker | Metehanwow ?? | 21:26 |
| hoonches | ill come back when the room is no longer a cluster f*$@ | 21:26 |
| jimbeam12 | Emanon found the package LINUS now what | 21:27 |
| Emanon | !ask SquidMedia | 21:27 |
| SquidMedia | ok | 21:27 |
| SquidMedia | i am running ubuntu 9.10 server x64 and after overcloking from BIOS /proc/cpuinfo shows the default stock speed instead the new speed, if i run dmidecode | grep -m1 "Current Speed" it shows the correct speed; is this a bug or ubuntu is limiting my cpu speed | 21:27 |
| jimbeam12 | linux | 21:27 |
| robertofree68 | genitori e figli | 21:27 |
| Emanon | not linus, LINUX | 21:27 |
| jimbeam12 | yes found it sorry,now what.. | 21:27 |
| aurelien | not LINUX GNU / Linux | 21:27 |
| Emanon | and you uninstall any of them that are below the current | 21:27 |
| techpraxis | guntbert: discovery: so i am logged as staffuser via nx, in gnome session. in gnome-terminal in that nx session, staffuser cannot touch 'newfile' in barn. BUT, on a suspicion, i logged in my main tty, su'd to the staffuser user, and then voila: touch barn/myfile works fine. WTF??! | 21:27 |
| seanbrystone | Emanon, that darn | command gets people all the time, it's !ask | seanbrystone or whatever | 21:27 |
| Emanon | jimbeam12: 26.31.20.33 is current | 21:27 |
| Kaellman | Anyone,please: Im trying to update and repair my grub after it failing in wubi. When i enter "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33 root=/dev/spd1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro" in grub, i get "cant find file" error.

| Kaellman | Iv got 6 gigs of my gf's personal files and my lab reports on the line here. | 21:28 |
| Char | Slart: I'll do that, it seems like a good idea. | 21:28 |
| jimbeam12 | ok but when i boot up the computer i get multiple entries how do i remove those entries on startup.. | 21:28 |
| Char | jrib: That's exactly what I was hoping for, thank you | 21:28 |
| techpraxis | sorry !language | 21:28 |
| Emanon | deleting the old versions should remove the entries jimbeam12 | 21:28 |
| Nollog | SquidMedia: bug kinda. | 21:29 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: there have been several hints that a user must log in *after* beeing asigned to a group | 21:29 |
| Emanon | or at least what they tell me | 21:29 |
| jimbeam12 | ok cool | 21:29 |
| Emanon | i just use ubuntu-tweak but that is not recommended to new users and whatnot | 21:29 |
| sam555 | Slart: thanks for the help. I think I'm going to do a reinstall later. | 21:29 |
| SquidMedia | so my cpu is running at the correct speed and i don't have to worry ? | 21:29 |
| aurelien | kaellman have you try sudo update-grub | 21:29 |
| Zenker | Metehanwow??? | 21:29 |
| techpraxis | guntbert, i have seen those hints. i was confused since a previous test, with another user, did not require this | 21:29 |
| Slart | sam555: I'm holding out for lucid lynx.. it's only a month away or so | 21:30 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, yes | 21:30 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, doesnt get me anywhere. | 21:30 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: its required every time because the memberships are only read at login | 21:30 |
| techpraxis | is this a general principle, or ubuntu specific | 21:30 |
| aurelien | kaellman here are working libre kernel .deb :: http://www.fscorsica.org/index-en.html | 21:30 |
| Emanon | yea i eagerly await each new release like any ubuntu fanboi :-) | 21:30 |
| techpraxis | not present on ubuntu FAQ that i can find | 21:30 |
| Zenker | ahh forget it if he/she ever comes back someone tell em to search wireless troubleshooting in the help portal, and 2 make sure 2 test the fn button for his wireless as well | 21:30 |
| seanbrystone | how would I make rsync -r -t -v --progress -z /directory1 /directory2/ so the files are compressed? | 21:31 |
| cati | hola | 21:31 |
| Zenker | as make sure that wireless is enabled in the wireless connection icon | 21:31 |

| conb123 | Can anyone see anything particularly wrong with this grub menu entry? It is not showing up in the menu. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190052/ | 21:31 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: nothing to do with ubuntu - its the same in every system I know | 21:31 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, what can i dot with that kernel? I get 2.6.33 when installing the latest wubi version right? | 21:31 |
| Zenker | ty for whom ever does this :) | 21:31 |
| techpraxis | okay, i am going to do a test. i will log the user in question out of the nx session, and log them back in, and then they should have membership | 21:31 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: right | 21:31 |
| BigRedS_ | I've just created an md raid with mdadm at /dev/md0, whenever i run fdisk now it complains /dev/md0 doesn't have a valid partition table. I was under the impression I just did mdadm, then mkfs and that was it, should I be fdisking /dev/md0 as any other disk? | 21:32 |
| guntbert | techpraxis: but I'm off to bed -- Good luck :-) | 21:32 |
| Emanon | mdadm just makes it a detectable disk you still have to write a valid partition table to it before it can be used BigRedS_ | 21:32 |
| aurelien | Kaellman this will install the kernel correctly and normally correct your grub again | 21:33 |
| owner | my window theme is invisible (no top bar with - O X) how do I get it to turn on. I'm using Ubuntu Christian Edition | 21:33 |
| owner | I also want to remove the menu on the desktop | 21:33 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, will it work even though i installed ubuntu with wubi? | 21:33 |
| owner | and make nautilus the default desktop. | 21:33 |
| BigRedS_ | Emanon: Aha! I suspected that might be the case! | 21:33 |
| BigRedS_ | cheers! | 21:33 |
| Emanon | nautilus is the file manager not the desktop owner | 21:33 |
| aurelien | Kaellman, normally yes | 21:33 |
| Emanon | you mean the gnome desktop i assume? | 21:34 |
| techpraxis | guntbert: i logged the user out of nx, closed the session, logged them back in, and the user has access to the directory --> can touch a newfile | 21:34 |
| xangua | owner: no idea what are you taking about and neither sure if here support for non official derivates | 21:34 |
| owner | Well ya it's gnome but there are no icons on the Desktop | 21:34 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, great! How do i install it? I cant access terminal unless booting with live cd | 21:34 |
| owner | It is an official distribution of Ubuntu | 21:34 |
| Emanon | ok cause i thought uce WAS gnome ok | 21:34 |
| Emanon | i know owner i just didnt know what environment it used till i checked and you told me | 21:35 |
| owner | Well the newest version is for netbooks | 21:35 |
| owner | and it has a very interesting looking menu that lays on top of the Desktop all the time. | 21:35 |
| Emanon | ok owner to have icons appear on desktop | 21:35 |
| Emanon | alt+f2 | 21:36 |
| owner | I have to use the Christian edition. | 21:36 |
| Emanon | type gconf-editor | 21:36 |
| owner | Ok I'll try that | 21:36 |
| owner | ok | 21:36 |
| Emanon | then along the left side of the window that appears hit apps | 21:36 |
| Emanon | go down to nautilus | 21:36 |
| techpraxis | thank you to channel: my folder permissions problem is fixed with some new knowledge | 21:36 |
| Emanon | and then to preferences | 21:36 |
| Kaellman | aurelien, you there? | 21:36 |
| Kaellman | I can pay for help. Seriously. | 21:36 |

| KB1JWQ | Kaellman: Use a live CD. | 21:37 |
| KB1JWQ | Back up data. | 21:37 |
| KB1JWQ | THEN mess with it. | 21:37 |
| techpraxis | i have a problem with nautilus, on 9.10 system running compiz, emerald | 21:38 |

| leighman | hi guys, I've enabled the pae kernel on 32-bit to access more then 3 GB of ram but it's still showing 3GB,do I have to change something in my bios, do you know? | 21:38 |
| KB1JWQ | Kaellman: That's my point. Boot using a LiveCD. | 21:38 |
| owner | Emanon ok I'm in nautilus | 21:38 |
| techpraxis | the problem is with folder creation in file/save dialogs in some applications | 21:38 |
| xangua | !details | techpraxis | 21:38 |
| ubottu | techpraxis: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:38 |
| KB1JWQ | Back up the data using said liveCD, Kaellman. THEN mess with your busted config. | 21:38 |
| KB1JWQ | First order of business is to secure your data. | 21:38 |
| Emanon | sec i lost the command looking for it | 21:38 |
| Lenin_Cat | how do I install 32 binarys on 64 | 21:38 |
| kinja-sheep | leighman: Maybe you need to reboot since you're working with kernels. | 21:38 |
| aurelien | Kaellman KB1JWQ is right when he says to use a live cd | 21:39 |
| aurelien | it's the best way | 21:39 |
| Kaellman | KB1JWQ, thanks for the advice. I'll try that out. | 21:39 |
| Maletor | How do I edit my xorg.conf to work with my display perfectly? Do I want to use modelines? | 21:39 |
| Kaellman | Didnt know i could back up my data with live cd. | 21:39 |
| aurelien | yes you can Kaellman | 21:39 |
| Kaellman | Great. Thats a start. | 21:40 |
| kinja-sheep | Lenin_Cat: Try "dpkg -i --force-architecture sillyApp.deb" | 21:40 |

| Emanon | turns out i was directing you towards the default icons (computer trash etc) not just desktop icons sorry owner idk how to do what you want | 21:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | and a silly q: does any normal user need any type of flag/permission to see what are the file permissions exactly? | 21:42 |
| leighman | tried rebooting | 21:42 |
| owner | I think I'll try Ubuntu tweak | 21:42 |
| PyroPhelia | does anybody know of a way to move a file to a folder when the rm command is envoked? I need to be able to review files before they're actually deleted | 21:43 |
| leighman | free -m still only shows 3 GB | 21:43 |
| Slart | PyroPhelia: use an alias | 21:43 |
| Chris___ | would it break anything if I did "chmod 700 /home/chris" on my server, to protect it from other users who have access to the server? | 21:43 |
| rww | brontosaurusrex: if a user can see a file, they can see the file's permissions | 21:43 |
| PyroPhelia | Slart, pardon? | 21:43 |
| Lenin_Cat | kinja-sheep, why wont the GUI allow it | 21:43 |
| Emanon | yea its in there but ubuntu doesnt reccomend that and ive been suggesting it a bit much lately hehe | 21:43 |
| rww | Chris___: I did it, nothing broke. | 21:43 |
| owner | is there a ubuntu ce irc? | 21:43 |
| owner | #ubuntuce | 21:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | leighman: what was the question? | 21:43 |
| Slart | PyroPhelia: I think that particular alias is pretty common.. I've seen rm aliased to "cp to some kind of trash folder" on several places on the net | 21:43 |
| Emanon | !ubuntuce | 21:44 |
| Maletor | How do I edit my xorg.conf to work with my display perfectly? Do I want to use modelines? | 21:44 |

| owner | Ubuntu Christian Edition | 21:44 |
| Emanon | has biblethumper themes and programs rww | 21:44 |
| kinja-sheep | Lenin_Cat: Probably because you're trying to use 32bit package on 64bit system. Protocols. GUI are made to make things easier for end users and if GUI allows that, then I foretell chaos and confusions. | 21:44 |
| owner | I have to use it because it has a porn blocker | 21:44 |
| rww | owner: Not that I know of. They have a forum, though: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=168 | 21:45 |
| owner | Some parrents want it on a kid's computer | 21:45 |
| Emanon | u know you can apply porn blocker to ANY distro with firefox | 21:45 |
| owner | RRRRRRRRRRRRRR Have to fix this today | 21:45 |
| Lenin_Cat | kinja-sheep, I know I am but I dont see why the GUI wouldnt allow it | 21:45 |
| Emanon | just use foxfilter | 21:45 |
| owner | Emanon how? | 21:45 |
| owner | oh | 21:45 |
| owner | foxfilter | 21:45 |
| owner | I'll try that. | 21:45 |
| FloodBot3 | owner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:45 |
| Emanon | you can just designate words that will be blocked | 21:45 |
| epaphus2 | Hello.. is it possible to create ubuntu users with access to openoffice and other not? | 21:45 |
| Emanon | you can guess what words to use | 21:45 |
| Slart | PyroPhelia: while I search you can have a look at the file ~/.bashrc "gedit ~/.bashrc" should open it in a text editor.. towards the end there are a couple of aliases for the "ls" command.. it's something similar to that | 21:45 |
| jrib | owner: whatever ubuntu-ce does to block porn (maybe dansguardian) can be done in ubuntu, it's just not installed by default | 21:45 |
| rww | owner: figure out which program Ubuntu CE uses, then install that program (I assume it's probably in the repos somewhere) | 21:45 |
| Emanon | and when they change adult websites from .com to .xxx soon it will be easier | 21:45 |
| PyroPhelia | salrt, i'm looking at the man now, ty. | 21:46 |
| owner | does foxfilter apply to other browsers like google chrome that could be used to get around the protection | 21:46 |
| Emanon | no its just a firefox plugin | 21:46 |
| Emanon | but if you dissallow the kids user permission to install the other browsers it should be fine | 21:46 |
| owner | rww the program is called dansguardian and it's very hard to install and get a GUI to edit it working right. | 21:46 |
| Slart | PyroPhelia: here's a thread about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623656 | 21:47 |
| techpraxis | i did some testing. problem request refined. problem is in Firefox, on Ubuntu 9.10. When I am attempting to save something from the web, say on images.google.com, and I choose "save image as" in the browser, I cannot create a new folder without typing over the name of an existing file. | 21:47 |
| Emanon | just dont allow that user access to package managers and whatnot | 21:47 |
| Emanon | so they have to use firefox | 21:47 |
| techpraxis | the reason i don't think it is just a Firefox problem is that another user, logged in via nx, doesn't manifest the problem. | 21:47 |
| leighman | jrib: no it's not :( | 21:48 |
| CyberGabber | owner: You mean, looking for ubuntu CE channels? | 21:48 |

Next it shows a login screen for tty1, and asks for user name, so i put it in, then it asks for password, so i put it in. Then there is a pause for about 30 seconds. It shows 4 errors 1. [63.213493] cx18-0: Frontend initialization failed. 2. [63.213655] cx18-0: DVB Failed to regis | 21:51 |

| rww | derp: If you've found a security vulnerability in Ubuntu, file a bug and mark it as a security vulnerability, which will hide it from the general public. | 21:52 |
| derp | ah ok | 21:52 |
| techpraxis | brontosaurusrex: its dangerous since that profile contains all my stuff | 21:52 |
| KB1JWQ | derp: I'm curious as to what you've found. | 21:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | techpraxis: how is renaming a folder dangerous? | 21:52 |
| overclucker | lol KB1JWQ i wwants it to | 21:53 |
| linux_stu | how do i open a raw/binary terminal (for a serial connection)? | 21:53 |
| KB1JWQ | linux_stu: minicom | 21:53 |
| techpraxis | brontosaurusrex: i mean that the various tasks i have in that browser cannot continue under a new profile. | 21:53 |
| linux_stu | KB1JWQ: for minicom, you have to make a raw terminal for it. that's what i'm trying to figure out | 21:54 |
| techpraxis | and there are rare instances, (check google) where renaming leads to problems | 21:54 |
| KB1JWQ | linux_stu: ? | 21:54 |
| KB1JWQ | linux_stu: You fire up xterm or a bash shell in whatever terminal program you want, and you run it. What'm I missing? | 21:54 |
| xiong | Configure install script for Perl complains that my kernel does not have *secure* setuid scripts. Who is right? | 21:54 |
| seanbrystone | what does 'sticky' mean in file permissions? | 21:55 |
| xiong | seanbrystone, Difficult to change, in short. | 21:55 |
| seanbrystone | ah | 21:55 |
| linux_stu | it's from a portion of the manpage. "Terminal type. With this flag, you can override the environment TERM variable. This is handy for use in the MINICOM environment variable; one can create a special termcap entry for use with minicom on the console, that initializes the screen to raw mode" | 21:55 |
| sidu | i installed vbox from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads but how can i start vbox ? | 21:55 |
| linux_stu | KB1JWQ ^ | 21:55 |
| UnderSampled | sidu: it should be in system tools, or something similar | 21:56 |
| jrib | seanbrystone: it means the same thing it meant 20 minutes ago when Losha pointed you to « man chmod » for a detailed explanation | 21:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | sidu, alt+f2 then type VirtualBox | 21:56 |
| xiong | seanbrystone, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit | 21:56 |
| Slart | xiong: I think setuid scripts are disabled in ubuntu.. by default.. and for good reasons, I think | 21:57 |
| W43372 | Hello. | 21:57 |
| UnderSampled | W43372: hello | 21:57 |
| xiong | Slart, Yeh, I'm going along with Configure on this one. | 21:57 |
| Slart | xiong: I'm not really sure what a "secure" setuid script would be, though | 21:57 |
| seanbrystone | jrib you got me confused with someone else, losha never told me to 'man chmod' | 21:58 |
| W43372 | I can't get my laptop to pick up my home wireless network. I'm picking up all of the neighbors, just not mine. | 21:58 |
| sidu | ZykoticK9: alt+f2 works, but there is nothing in system folder etc | 21:58 |
| UnderSampled | W43372: is your network hidden? | 21:58 |
| techpraxis | brontosaurusrex: started firefox with -no-remote -P after renaming .mozilla. Went to web, attempted to save an image. Problem still exists: when I choose new folder in the "Save Image As" dialog, the field that opens up in the edit area is overlaid on top of an existing file or folder, instead of creating a new icon and a new entry field. | 21:58 |
| Slart | xiong: although I find it odd that perl complains about it.. last time I checked setuid scripts most distros agreed that it was a bad thing.. perhaps the perl people didn't get the memo ? =) | 21:59 |
| sidu | o dear. too busy this room, bye for a while .. | 21:59 |
| W43372 | No. My roommate picks it up on his laptop. My servre is connected to it now. It's got a password, but it's not hidden. | 21:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | sidu, you could try restarting gnome panels using the command "killall gnome-panel" and see if it shows up | 21:59 |
| xiong | 'Some systems have disabled setuid scripts, especially systems where setuid scripts cannot be secure. On systems where setuid scripts have been disabled, the setuid/setgid bits on scripts are currently useless. It is possible for perl5 to detect those bits and emulate setuid/setgid in a secure fashion. This emulation will only work if setuid scripts have been disabled in your kernel.' | 21:59 |
| Emanon | W43372: or you might have it set to a protocol your adapter doesnt support (n when your adapter is a/b/g etc) | 21:59 |
| Slart | xiong: interesting | 21:59 |
| wolter | kinja-sheep, are you using lucid? | 22:00 |
| jrib | seanbrystone: opologies, your names were the same length and had the same letters :) | 22:00 |

| Emanon | idk i dont fiddle with grub much jimbeam12 maybe those links erUSUL sent or someone else can help | 22:02 |
| jimbeam12 | thanks but thre should be something in the menu.lst when i issue that command | 22:03 |
| Slart | jimbeam12: not if you're running grub2.. it doesn't use that file any more | 22:03 |
| SolarisBoy | can i install vnc and replace vino-server on ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| ravage_ | yo! | 22:03 |

| balsaq | anyone here ever have success using gyachi voice chat? | 22:05 |
| Emanon | supposedly balsaq but i've never met them | 22:05 |
| balsaq | Emanon, can't seem to get it to work | 22:06 |
| Diverdude | When i alt+shift through active applications it shifts 1 application per buttonpush. This is good. However when i hold alt+shift and press tab to step backwards through active applications it steps 2 step per time which is extremely annoying. Is there any way to make ubuntu only step 1 time for both forward and backward step? Thank you | 22:06 |
| zesoze | hi | 22:06 |
| Emanon | bummer balsaq i hope someone in here can help :-) | 22:06 |
| zesoze | I am getting "readlink: not found" when I try to restart libnss-ldap service...could anybody help me? | 22:06 |
| W43372 | I tried using the 'Connect to hidden wireless network' option and I put in the name and psk and it didn't connect, it just kept asking me for the psk | 22:06 |
| techpraxis | perhaps the problem i am experiencing is a problem with xulrunner? | 22:06 |
| balsaq | ok, is there any application for Ubuntu that connects to yahoo video chat, both video and audio? | 22:07 |
| Slart | Diverdude: hmm.. using compiz? | 22:07 |
| balsaq | kopete doesnt' and can't seem to get audio to work in gyachi | 22:07 |
| clrg | balsaq: Have you tried Pidgin? | 22:07 |
| Diverdude | Slart,yess,....but compiz is humongus and searching through all menues takes 100 years | 22:07 |
| Emanon | pidgin doesnt i know that | 22:07 |
| W43372 | balsaq, I've heard that Pidgin and Empathy support yahoo video and voice. | 22:07 |
| velizar | hi | 22:07 |
| === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc | ||
| Emanon | on a side note skype has been unable to recieve any video lately for me any ideas why? | 22:08 |
| balsaq | clrg, W43372 pidgin/empathy dont' support video chat for yahoo | 22:08 |
| Slart | Diverdude: hehe.. give me a second to look through it.. I don't even have the Alt+Shift+TAB shortcut set.. | 22:08 |
| velizar | how to activate compiz extra effects on Xubuntu? | 22:08 |
| velizar | and it's possible to install Xfce to Ubuntu? | 22:08 |
| Stargaze_ | velizar, i think it's only for gnome | 22:08 |
| clrg | velizar: Yes it is. Just install the XFCE desktop environment package | 22:08 |
| Emanon | xfce can be installed on ubuntu idk about compiz on it | 22:09 |
| velizar | thx clrg | 22:09 |
| W43372 | I don't know much about the chat programs. I'm just here to figure out why I can't pick up my router. | 22:09 |
| clrg | velizar: I don't recall exactly how it's called, but it worked fine for me a year or so | 22:09 |
| Emanon | seems counter intuitive unless you just like the way xfce looks | 22:09 |
| Slart | Diverdude: hmm.. I found the shortcut.. but on my system it only jumps one window at a time.. I use the ring switcher though.. it might be different from the default one | 22:10 |
| Emanon | no offense if you do but it kind of looks like your working on a commodore 64 | 22:10 |
| velizar | I want Ubuntu extra effects on Xfce desktop environment, because Xfce is uses less memory than GNOME | 22:10 |
| Diverdude | Slart, yesi also have the ring switcher....but i dont really like the way it cycles the applications | 22:10 |
| velizar | and it's working so fast than gnome.. | 22:10 |
| W43372 | Ultimate Ediion has compiz. That's what I was using but I kept having issues with UE2.3 connecting to yahoo with pidgin so I dropped it and switched to Ununtu 9.10. I just finished the install and now I can't pick up my router. | 22:10 |
| clrg | velizar: Why would you use XFCE in order to save resources, but then use them all up again by installing compiz? | 22:10 |
| Emanon | maybe xfce frees up enough for him to run compiz | 22:11 |
| bazz | i have network-manager-gnome version 0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1 installed, but when i choose "About" on nm-applet i still get 0.7.996. How can I tell what version I'm really running, and if it is 0.7.996 how can i get to 0.8? (This is because I want some of the bluetooth stuff in 0.8) | 22:11 |
| daniskami | velizar: Compiz works fine together with Xfce | 22:11 |
| Diverdude | Slart, and its easier to get an overview when using many apps with the other...small alt+tab one | 22:11 |
| Emanon | but sorry idk velizar | 22:11 |
| Diverdude | Slart, i think | 22:11 |
| Slart | Diverdude: you haven't got more than one switcher plugin activated, right? | 22:11 |
| Diverdude | Slart, yes both ring and the normal alt+tab | 22:12 |
| Slart | Diverdude: oh.. have you made sure Shift+Alt+TAB isn't listed in both? | 22:12 |
| velizar | ok, thx all | 22:12 |
| daniskami | velizar: although I don't really care about Compiz effects. Xfwm does a little compositing on its own which is enough for me | 22:12 |
| velizar | I'll try Xfce install in Ubuntu | 22:12 |
| Emanon | good luck velizar | 22:12 |
| Diverdude | Slart, i just tried to disable the ring switcher...but that did not help | 22:13 |
| thevor | Hey I have a quick question about mounting cdrom drives. When I goto /media there is /cdrom, and /cdrom0. I can mount both, and read a dvd, but the thing is I only have one disc tray. I am having trouble installing something from a cd currently, and I am wondering if the cdrom, and cdrom0 might be posing a problem, and if I should get rid of one of them. | 22:13 |
| Slart | Diverdude: still jumps two steps for each keypress? | 22:13 |
| W43372 | I had no problem picking up my router when I was running UE2.3. I installed 9.10 today and I can't pick up my router. I can pick up the neighbors across the street and the print server on the corner though... | 22:14 |
| Diverdude | Slart, aha i found the sinner | 22:14 |
| UnderSampled | thevor: if it is in media, it is already mounted, right? | 22:14 |
| Slart | Diverdude: oh.. what was it? | 22:14 |
| Zenker | Diverdude im sorry i dont know what is going on with yours, but i all of a sudden had probs with compiz as well, im wondering if maybe an update is common in our issues, when i maximize windows it was maken them way bigger then my scren, even after i disabled everything in compiz, so i uninstalled it and all works well | 22:14 |
| eTiger13 | how can i do multiple OR arguments in an if shell statement? ie if [ $member:f =='this' || $member:f == 'that' ] | 22:15 |
| thevor | UnderSampled: I'm not really sure. If I go through terminal to media, and do a "ls" both come up. | 22:15 |
| Diverdude | Slart, apparantly inthe bindings settings there are 2 different binding sources for previous windows for some strange reason....and both were set to the same button :S | 22:15 |
| W43372 | Well, I'll be here if anyone has any ideas, but I'll be tabbed out irc watching a movie. | 22:15 |
| Slart | Diverdude: ahh.. tricky | 22:15 |
| thevor | And I can go into each directory. | 22:16 |
| UnderSampled | thevor: then they have all been mounted already | 22:16 |
| Diverdude | Slart, but yur idea led me on the right path | 22:16 |
| Slart | Diverdude: happy to help | 22:16 |
| Diverdude | Slart, i just converted your idea to thinking maybe 2 bindings are set | 22:16 |
| thevor | UnderSampled: So are they just always mounted? | 22:16 |
| Diverdude | Slart, instead of 2 switchers hehe | 22:16 |
| Slart | Diverdude: =) | 22:17 |
| UnderSampled | thevor: nautilus automatically mounts drives that you use | 22:17 |
| Diverdude | Slart, thx dude | 22:17 |

| thevor | UnderSampled: The thing is I am using "PlayOnLinux" to install a video game, and I need to point the program to my disk drive, and the program is having trouble finding the disk, and I'm wondering if the two mount points is causing a problem somehow? | 22:18 |
| SolarisBoy | eTiger13: if [ $foo -eq 2 -a $bar -eq 2 -o $bar -eq 1 ]; then | 22:18 |

| seanbrystone | Im trying to add thunderbird PPA, for thunderbird 3.0.3, i added the ppa and sudo apt-get update but Thuderbird 2 still shows up in Synaptic, how do i make sure i ONLY install the 3.0.3 version? | 22:33 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: I also changed this variable: FILE=$(find . -maxdepth 0) | 22:34 |
| erUSUL | eTiger13: what arwe you trying to do why you test $f (a filoename i guess) against . and .. ?? somthig look fishy | 22:34 |
| eTiger13 | erUSUL: theres a lot more but if i can get 2 working then i can add the rest | 22:35 |
| oddy_brb | seanbrystone: in synaptic you can select and lock versions, provided it's in the repo's | 22:35 |
| === oddy_brb is now known as oddy | ||
| JohnSP | I think ubuntu has a serious bug. | 22:36 |
| JohnSP | In my school was installed Ubuntu 9.10 and after that several people are losing all data from yours pen-drives that are they used in Windows XP too. | 22:36 |
| seanbrystone | yeah it should be in the repos now | 22:36 |
| JohnSP | Even unmounting the USB drive, sometimes you lose all data, even partition. | 22:36 |
| sixofour | is there a tutorial for installing something from source? | 22:36 |
| nomaS | !ati 3200 | 22:36 |
| eTiger13 | Gnea: that find doesnt work | 22:36 |
| erUSUL | eTiger13: this works for me « for f in .*; do if [[ $f = '.' || $f = '..' ]] ; then echo "i'm special"; else echo "Not so"; fi; done » | 22:36 |
| oddy | JohnSP: then file a bug report on launchpad :) | 22:36 |
| JohnSP | oddy: OK | 22:36 |
| Spirits-Sight | anyone in here that good with connecting CE device to Ubuntu to see it as a storage device? | 22:36 |
| gogeta | jimbeam12 dunno why they do it that way | 22:36 |
| azi_ | there was an option to hide the taskbar in gnome.. after updating I am not able to do so anymore? anyone clude how could I enable this? there was an arrow at the end of the taskbar that after clicked would hide the taskbar | 22:37 |
| SolarisBoy | eTiger13: qoute the variable | 22:37 |
| gogeta | jimbeam12 but adding your line to the custom and doing a update command should add it to the main | 22:37 |
| VCoolio | !compile | sixofour | 22:37 |
| ubottu | sixofour: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 22:37 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: click the package, go properties and versions. it has a bit of instructions to follow there :) | 22:37 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: it should just return . | 22:37 |
| SolarisBoy | then change try change the comparison to = | 22:37 |
| JohnSP | oddy: whatś Launchpad link? | 22:37 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: also, you're comparing a character, not an integer, so = might be more useful than -eq | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | there we go | 22:38 |
| Gnea | :) | 22:38 |
| oddy | azi_: right click on the panel, go properties and make sure that 'show hide buttons' is checked | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | eTiger13: you need to qoute the variable | 22:38 |
| JohnSP | oddy: ok | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | eTiger13: and change -eq to = | 22:38 |
| oddy | JohnSP: www.launchpad.net/ubuntu just a guess | 22:38 |
| SolarisBoy | if [ "$f" = "." ] || [ "$f" = ".." ] ; | 22:38 |
| Gnea | ah yup | 22:38 |
| JohnSP | oddy: ok | 22:38 |
| seanbrystone | oddy, "force version" is grayed out | 22:39 |
| azi_ | oddy: no such option | 22:39 |
| JohnSP | tks | 22:39 |
| oddy | JohnSP: You'll need to have/sign up or an open id account | 22:39 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: were there multiple versions listed under properties? | 22:39 |
| seanbrystone | nope | 22:39 |
| eTiger13 | would it be "$f" = or "$f" == ? | 22:40 |
| seanbrystone | oddy do i have to install the old version first? | 22:40 |
| SolarisBoy | it is = | 22:40 |
| SolarisBoy | == is different | 22:40 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: quite possibly. it'll update you to the newest version if you just do a "sudo apt-get install <package>". what i was telling you is to _downgrade_ a package | 22:41 |
| Gnea | also, that $(find) command is just a test, it won't get you very far in a practical sense | 22:42 |
| Spirits-Sight | Does anyone know where I could get the help I need with sync CE device with Ubuntu either through Bluetooth or USB what ever would be the easest way??? thanks alot | 22:42 |
| oddy | Spirits-Sight: the forums? | 22:42 |
| _Nacho_ | a | 22:42 |
| zesoze | readlink:not found ??? | 22:43 |
| Spirits-Sight | oddy: I can not find any thing that has helped me, I am running 10.04 and have not heard from anyon in the ubuntu+1 room either | 22:43 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: if you add a ppa and update the package lists ("sudo apt-get update") then it'll automatically install that version, provided it is a higher version number (i.e. 2.6 > 2.5) | 22:43 |
| marcus__ | how do i mount an unknown partion into ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| oddy | Spirits-Sight: I mean do a post :) | 22:43 |
| seanbrystone | oddy, yeah, just donno why it's not doing that | 22:44 |
| erUSUL | marcus__: what is unknown about it? | 22:44 |
| Spirits-Sight | oddy: thanks | 22:44 |
| oddy | hope you get help Spirits-Sight | 22:44 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: try doing the apt-get command with -V so you can see the version numbers. you might be getting the version you want already :) | 22:45 |
| eTiger13 | im at here and am stuck: http://pastebin.com/y8PiBweM | 22:45 |
| marcus__ | erUSUL: I reinstalled my ubuntu, previously i had /, /swap and /home as three partitions... I reinstalled it on / and now my previously /home is unknown in Disk utility... | 22:45 |
| marcus__ | its named dev/sda6 | 22:45 |
| oddy | sudo mount /dev/sda6 /path/to/mount/point | 22:46 |
| oddy | marcus__: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /path/to/mount/point | 22:46 |
| seanbrystone | oddy no the "Help About" in Thunderbird is still saying 2.0.0.0.23 | 22:46 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: you once again forgot the semicolon at the end of the last bracket | 22:46 |
| oddy | I'm guessing you have done a quit and re-open then seanbrystone? | 22:46 |
| marcus__ | then its says that it cant find it in /etc/fstab eller /etc/mtab, | 22:46 |
| oddy | ok | 22:47 |
| seanbrystone | oddy yea | 22:47 |
| oddy | odd marcus__ | 22:47 |
| endri | hello i want to install ubuntu from hd. is that possible? | 22:47 |
| seanbrystone | im going to just try to install the .debs instead of the PPA | 22:47 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: and you've done an apt-get update after adding the ppa? | 22:47 |
| seanbrystone | yep | 22:47 |
| zesoze | /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap stop | 22:47 |
| zesoze | /etc/init.d/libnss-ldap: 34: readlink: not found | 22:47 |
| marcus__ | oddy yes...;-) i read somewhere about UUID and that u should add it in fstab but the command didnt work.. | 22:48 |
| oddy | seanbrystone: that's probaby for the best, good luck | 22:48 |

| W43372 | Is anyone available to help me figure out why I can't pick up my wireless? | 22:48 |
| oddy | marcus__: hate to say this, but have you restarted with it attached? or is that not a possibility? | 22:48 |
| oddy | W43372: We're gonna need more info than that. wireless card, ubuntu version, details of problem? | 22:48 |
| marcus__ | oddy no harm done! ;-) noo buts in the same fysical harddrive... :-( | 22:48 |
| Mostradoy | hola | 22:48 |

| vertigo | hello | 22:50 |
| faron | can anybody tell me what a "debugger" version is ? I'm sorry.I'm confused.I'm not sure whether I should download the 10.1 beta 3 version of flash player or the debugger version fro my xubuntu | 22:50 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: works fine here. | 22:50 |
| spoovy | if you gotta ask that question, you don't want the debugger version | 22:51 |
| oddy | marcus__: can you do "cat fstab > ~/fstab.log" and copy the file contents to a pastebin? | 22:51 |
| W43372 | oddy: The adapter is an airlink101 g. I'm using Ubuntu9.10. Up until today I've been using Ultimate Edition 2.3, I decided to stop using it and I installed 9.10 today. After the install I can pick up the wireless signals near my home, but not the one in my home. My server and my roommates laptop are picking up the wireless without problems. This is just exclusive to the laptop that has the fresh 9.10 insall on it. | 22:51 |
| eTiger13 | change Downloads to a file/folder you have and see if it still echos the name or nope | 22:51 |
| oddy | marcus__ to check to obvious mistakes | 22:51 |
| faron | ahhhhhhh that might b a good point spoovy | 22:51 |
| spoovy | debug version is for software development | 22:51 |
| faron | thanks very much | 22:51 |
| spoovy | takes much more memory and of no use to non-developers | 22:52 |
| oddy | W43372: is it an encrypted signal? and, do you have alternate internet access on that computer? | 22:52 |
| andrew12 | wow, 1416 people in here. | 22:52 |
| Gnea | eTiger13: seems odd, I see what you mean, but I have to go | 22:53 |
| oddy | andrew12: quite scary isn't it? | 22:53 |
| josh-N | i made a CD image with "ddrescue -b2048 /dev/cdrom ddrescue.iso ddrescue.log" but K3b tells me it's not a usable image file... did i leave out anything important? | 22:53 |
| andrew12 | yeah :p | 22:53 |
| W43372 | oddy: Yes, it's encrypted. No, I just have the wireless. The modem is in a different room and I've been told not to run CAT5 cables through the walls for a hard line. | 22:53 |
| marcus__ | oddy its empty...;-9 | 22:53 |
| oddy | marcus__: that is not good. you might have to get a pro onto that because i'm not sure what to do. | 22:54 |
| oddy | marcus__: there might be a dpkg-reconfigure command to fix it. not too sure though. | 22:54 |
| marcus__ | oddy i think its something with http://www.madhusudancs.info/remounting-windows | 22:54 |
| Typos_King | josh-N k3b is saying the .iso you got is not usable or the cd you burned is not usable, I don't ge which or what | 22:55 |
| marcus__ | That's exactly my problem, but i cant get the UUID command to work...:-( | 22:55 |
| josh-N | it says the iso is not usable... i'd give the exact error message, but it's german ;-) | 22:56 |
| W43372 | oddy: Yes, it's encrypted. No, I just have the wireless. The modem is in a different room and I've been told not to run CAT5 cables through the walls for a hard line. | 22:56 |
| Typos_King | josh-N da :P | 22:56 |
| oddy | W43372: sorry for the wait. could you temporarily get internet access onto it? because if you went System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers you might be able to install a restricted driver to fix it. | 22:57 |
| john__ | has anyone here been using gnome-shell? | 22:57 |
| marcus__ | oddy thanks for your effort... sleep well!;-) | 22:57 |
| josh-N | oddy: you meant "cat /etc/fstab > ~/fstab.log" ... not "cat fstab > ~/fstab.log" ... right? | 22:57 |
| oddy | marcus__: nothing i can suggest except man pages and google :( i'm a bit out of my depth | 22:57 |
| oddy | thanks you too | 22:57 |
| oddy | josh-N: you are right, i incorrectly assumed he was in /etc/ :) good spot! | 22:58 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ what are you trying to do? | 22:58 |
| W43372 | oddy: Yeah, I could hard line it to the router in the other room. | 22:58 |
| josh-N | oddy: thought that could be the reason for an empty file ;-) | 22:58 |
| oddy | john__: i installed it for a few days? if you have a question go ahead and ask, you'll get a response better that way | 22:58 |
| marcus__ | Typos_King im trying to mount a partition from a previously installation of ubuntu... my /home.. :-( | 22:58 |
| john__ | thanks oddy | 22:58 |
| john__ | yeah, so is there anyway to sync evolution with that calendar? | 22:59 |
| ravage_ | ubuntu rules!!!! | 22:59 |
| FatalIll | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zF2hBuXs | 22:59 |
| john__ | it's not working like the default clock applet back in default gnome desktop | 22:59 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ and mount is not working for you? | 22:59 |
| ravage_ | anyone from eddy? | 22:59 |
| FatalIll | Can anyone help me with this error? I dont understand why Im getting fopen errors and the likes. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zF2hBuXs | 22:59 |
| marcus__ | no cause its unrecognized in the disk utility... i think i have to get the UUID and add it in fstab.. | 22:59 |
| oddy | W43372: so if you can, get a temporary connection over ethernet. First do a "sudo apt-get update" in terminal, and then go System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and activating it from there. It's pretty easy once you get there, just one or two buttons to click :) | 22:59 |
| oddy | john__: not gonna lie, nothing works the same in gnome-shell. what is the change you don't like? | 23:00 |
| john__ | FatalIll_____ Do you have root priveleges? | 23:00 |
| W43372 | oddy: could you tell me what exactly I'm looking for when I get to the 'Hardware Drivers | 23:00 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ in the disk utility? which one? | 23:00 |
| W43372 | oddy: could you tell me what exactly I'm looking for when I get to the 'Hardware Drivers'? I wouldn't want to fiddle around with the wrong thing and make my laptop think it's a toaster oven. | 23:01 |
| marcus__ | palimpsest | 23:01 |
| john__ | oddy_____ : I just recently synced my google calendar with my desktop clock and now it doesn't work with gnome-shell | 23:01 |
| marcus__ | system/administration | 23:01 |
| john__ | oddy______ : It doesn't list my "appointments" like before | 23:01 |
| Typos_King | ....... kkkk | 23:01 |
| FatalIll | john__ | 23:01 |
| FatalIll | ofcourse... | 23:01 |
| oddy | john__: no need for the underscores, my name is just oddy :) | 23:01 |
| john__ | Oh, I thought that was a means of identifying your audience | 23:02 |
| john__ | my bad | 23:02 |
| oddy | no, the _ is appended when the name is taken :) john__ because someone already has john and joh_ | 23:02 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 <-- maybe pysdm can help | 23:02 |
| john__ | oh that makes, sense... So should I still prefix my message with my subject? | 23:02 |
| john__ | ex: | 23:02 |
| john__ | oddy: like this? | 23:03 |
| oddy | W43372: sure, it will do a little searching, and then you will (hopefully) be told that there is a driver available. there will be a button to click like 'activate' or 'install' and then it will pretty much do the rest to you. | 23:03 |
| john__ | FatalIll: Did that work? | 23:03 |
| oddy | john__: yep, cos then my IRC client notifies me that someone has messaged me. in fact whenever the name is in the message it does | 23:03 |
| FatalIll | did what work? | 23:03 |
| john__ | oddy: Thanks, man, (first time using this) | 23:03 |
| oddy | john__: dw, i was an IRC noob just a few months ago :) | 23:04 |
| john__ | FatalIll: Did you try the same make command but with sudo privileges | 23:04 |
| FatalIll | I was already in SU when I ran the make... | 23:04 |
| john__ | oddy: haha, yeah... noobism pretty much rocks... hey, what client are you using? | 23:04 |
| oddy | if you do come on alot, you can reserve your name. just go into #freenode and ask someone how to register a nick john__ | 23:04 |
| john__ | oddy: thanks man | 23:04 |
| oddy | john__: pidgin :P it isn't perfect cos there are too many windows but it works fair enough :) | 23:04 |
| josh-N | john__: prefixing makes sense when you want the attention of a particular person. just make sure you don't annoy people, because many have set their clients to make sounds when their name appears. | 23:04 |
| marcus__ | Typos_King thankt for the input but it only shows the partitions that is already mounted by ubuntu.. | 23:05 |
| marcus__ | and mine isn't.. | 23:05 |
| === conflix is now known as ConFliX2 | ||
| marcus__ | and to mount it it has to be in fstab | 23:05 |
| john__ | josh-N: So how do you know when to and when not to? | 23:05 |
| marcus__ | and to add id there i need the UUID...;-) i think... | 23:05 |
| marcus__ | thats my conclusion so far.. | 23:05 |
| oddy | john__ when you want to specifically message someone and lots of people have spoken inbetween your messages. | 23:05 |
| john__ | FatalIll: What's the permissions on that directory? (output of ls -lh /[directory]) | 23:05 |
| marcus__ | but i take it with me over night... sleep well everybody... | 23:05 |
| john__ | Oh, ok, thanks man | 23:06 |
| Losha | FatalIll: I don't do much c++, but if this were C, it would mean you're missing an #include file in the source file. This can happen if the code was written on a different system... | 23:06 |
| Typos_King | marcus__: pysdm provides editingfor fstab, and I don't think the UUID is mandatory, the device address works just as well | 23:06 |
| oddy | ok ubuntuers! | 23:06 |
| oddy | best of luck | 23:06 |
| oddy | stay on linux | 23:06 |
| oddy | and gnu | 23:06 |
| FloodBot3 | oddy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:06 |
| josh-N | john__: usually when someone is already responding to you, you won't annoy them by repeating their name. if someone doesn't respond though, you should not keep repeating their name until after some time has passed. | 23:06 |
| oddy | and goodnight :) | 23:06 |
| FatalIll | I added a stdio.h into it | 23:06 |
| FatalIll | works now | 23:06 |
| FatalIll | halfassed but whatever | 23:06 |
| oddy | sorry floodbot3 :( | 23:06 |
| oddy | bye | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | bye | 23:07 |
| od3n | whats the best way to install thunderbird 3 | 23:07 |
| marcus__ | yeah but in the example of the program the problem was that the device was recognized but not mounted (i installed the program, but it did only show 2 sda's, i have 4...:-( | 23:07 |
| john__ | good work FatalIll | 23:07 |
| Typos_King | od3n off the repos I'd thiink :P | 23:07 |
| od3n | it deos not show up tehre | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | !ppa | od3n | 23:08 |
| ubottu | od3n: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 23:08 |
| john__ | bye all! | 23:08 |
| Typos_King | od3n; odd, it does for me -> apt-cache search thunderbird; | 23:08 |
| marcus__ | Typos_King but i apprecieta the effort man... | 23:09 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ btw, do they show in -> sudo fdisk -l? | 23:09 |
| W43372 | oddy: So, I'm trying to find a driver for my Airlink adapter? | 23:09 |
| KaOSoFt | Hmm... do you know if it's possible to take a screenshot while having a menu active? I mean, let's say, you click on the Places menu (next to Applications and System), your different folders display, but if you press the "Print screen" key on your keyboard, it won't take the picture. Should I propose to add this functionality to Ubuntu, or is it a GNOME thing? I haven't tried any other desktop systems (KDE, XFCE, for example), sorry. | 23:09 |
| Losha | Typos_King: od3n: unless you're both running the same release and use the same repositories, it could show up for one of you and not the other.... | 23:10 |
| od3n | well 3 is not showing up | 23:10 |
| Typos_King | indeed, I wonder what he's usingto check :) | 23:10 |
| od3n | I have the source that I downloaded | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | od3n: use the mozilla team ppa | 23:10 |
| lifestream | I know this isn't quite the right place to ask, but...... in Chrome, where do I see what themes I have installed already? Anyone know? | 23:11 |
| Typos_King | od3n: yeah, check the mozilla site, they'd have it either on .deb or .bz2 I'd think | 23:11 |
| KaOSoFt | lifestream- I don't see any option on my build... | 23:11 |
| marcus__ | Typos_King yes... | 23:12 |
| Typos_King | lifestream: dunno..... maybe about:themes? or about:config | 23:12 |
| FatalIll | Hm, Now I am getting a "Makefile:26: .depend: no such file or directory" | 23:12 |
| KaOSoFt | lifestream- It offers a button to get back to the default theme, but none to choose the one you want. | 23:12 |
| FatalIll | where would I be getting .depend from? like what package | 23:12 |
| lifestream | KaOSoFt, yeah, it's a pity... I guess we have to go download the theme each time we want a new one, even if it's the same we had 1 hr ago ;p | 23:12 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ where is it they don't show anyway? obviously they're 'seen' | 23:12 |
| W43372 | oddy: So, I'm trying to find a driver for my Airlink adapter? | 23:12 |
| lifestream | Typos_King, Yeah, page not found :( ah, i'll just install | 23:13 |

| KaOSoFt | lifestream- I'm happy with my Android theme. | 23:13 |
| marcus__ | but then how do i access my data on dev/sda6? | 23:13 |
| Typos_King | lifestream: sorry, no chrome here, I use opera ^_^ | 23:13 |
| lifestream | KaOSoFt, oh, I use it on laptop | 23:13 |
| Typos_King | and ff and konqueror heeh | 23:13 |
| KaOSoFt | Others looked like that Firefox's Personas crap | 23:13 |
| lifestream | Typos_King, *hisses and growl* :P | 23:13 |
| FatalIll | Where do I get .depend from? | 23:13 |
| azi_ | hm.. i'm reasking yes. in the previous version of ubunut/gnome the panel had an arrow at the end that after clicked would hide the panel. where could that be found now? | 23:14 |
| azi_ | i miss that feature | 23:14 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ well.... you can manually moun it... if this an ad hoc need :) | 23:14 |
| * clrg leaves | 23:14 | |

| abc- | dsp shoutcast server like winamp | 23:17 |
| marcus__ | is it always mounted or do i have to mount it manaully every time i reboot? | 23:17 |

| serverduck | I have installed a todo list program and created a new entry named asdasd just for test. I didn't liked the program and eventually uninstalled it. But if i click in the taskbar on date and time there is an entry asd asd under tasks. How do I delete that? | 23:18 |
| Typos_King | marcus__ I don't think it maybe automounted... but you can edit fstab with 'pysdm' to make it so, or add it.... usually the OS will have a 'media' section and will display the partitions available and mount it when clicked, I get that in Dolphin or Krusader | 23:19 |
| KaOSoFt | azi_- Did it work? :D | 23:19 |
| od3n | ok I have a .bz2 so now what | 23:19 |

| seanbrystone | how do you force a .deb to ignore a dependency when the darn dependent package is already installed? | 23:23 |
| elm669 | Yono you want to check out the restricted formats section on the ubuntu wiki | 23:23 |
| Typos_King | seanbrystone: haven't we been at this aisle before? | 23:23 |
| seanbrystone | Typos_King, you always raggin on me, knock it off. | 23:24 |
| Typos_King | hehhe | 23:24 |
| serverduck | Typos_King, well that's ok i will still look for a way to auto start conky every time. Did you had a todo list program on your ubuntu machine? I cross on a problem with it...as you can see above. | 23:24 |
| Zenker | can someone please help me make my windows maximize correctly? | 23:24 |
| Losha | seanbrystone: in theory, you shouldn't need to. But something like dpkg -i --force-depends <debfile>. See man dpkg for the details... | 23:24 |
| Yono | will do elm669 | 23:24 |
| seanbrystone | Losha, ty, ill give that a try | 23:25 |
| Typos_King | seanbrystone: apt-get install --ignore-missing | 23:25 |
| Yono | elm669: although I already have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed | 23:25 |

| cheesemoo0 | For some reason my router doesn't see my host name, but synergy does. Does anyone know why this is? | 23:32 |
| Losha | seanbrystone: well, try it with the force option. The worst that can happen is the program you've installed won't start | 23:32 |

| Zenker | that you should have paid your taxex on time rofl :) | 23:36 |
| jrib | bigtom21485: what kind of answer are you looking for? | 23:36 |
| seanbrystone | would be nice if it worked that way bigtom21485 , sadly very few apps work perfect in wine or even at all | 23:36 |
| woty | hi@all | 23:36 |
| bigtom21485 | jrib: do i need to get a different emulator? | 23:37 |
| jrib | bigtom21485: well personally, I wouldn't use the software at all. But if you must, install windows in vbox and run it from there | 23:37 |
| Losha | bigtom21485: turbotax hasn't run properly in wine since 2005 apparently. See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=623. It means you can't run turbotax in wine, sorry.... | 23:37 |

| G-Farkas | hi, I've been trying to get tray icons with icewm and openbox and it was impossible. I try a lot of methods with bad results. Now, I can get tray icons with some aplications, but no with every aplication. Please, help me. (9.10 amd64) | 23:40 |
| meatbun | how to tell eyes of gnome to display gif files in animation | 23:41 |
| Zenker | OMG now i see, its only certain progs that are doing that :) | 23:41 |
| W43372 | joe__: Remote desktop viewer and some kind of VNC client. It's what I'm doing right now, actually :) | 23:41 |
| Zenker | pbb i can just deal nvm about the help | 23:41 |
| morphix | G-Farkas: i would honestly recommend compiling and installing pypanel with openbox | 23:41 |
| bigtom21485 | jrib: virtualbox is listed as a way to run different x86 os's on one physical machine...however i am on an x64 machine does that complicate things? | 23:41 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: .. tray icons..... you can run any app and.... you mean in icewm as in the right-click on the window option? | 23:41 |
| joe__ | Thanks W43372 I'll read up on it | 23:42 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: some apps add their icon to the tray, in icewm, but you can also drop any window to the tray too, from the right-click menu | 23:43 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: I mean the icons that apear normally side to the clock | 23:43 |

| prod1 | Hi all, i am here seeking help with my system. Have just installed 9.10 desktop but i have no sound. I am using a DFI Ultra-D motherboard with azalia sound card. If anyone could help me installing the driver I have downloaded it would be much appreciated :) | 23:43 |
| G-Farkas | morphix: thanks, but i prefer icewm ^^ | 23:43 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: it might be you have the tray turn off, or not to show.... ever used the IceWM control panel? | 23:44 |
| chrome | hey guys, running Xubuntu here, is there a way to get a the rotating cube for workspace switching? or any of the compiz manager style effects to work? | 23:44 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: : | was too easy!!! | 23:44 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: you mean, the right-click menu? hehe | 23:44 |
| ansx | if I have sda & sdb and I'm installing on sdb, where is installed the bootloader on 9.10 (default) ? | 23:44 |
| morphix | G-Farkas: you mentioned openbox is all.. but each to their own i suppose | 23:44 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: ever used the IceWM control panel? has heaploads of settings for icewm :) | 23:45 |
| prod1 | should i elaborate to maybe get a better response? | 23:45 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: I looked in the right clic menu, and find the option and works. I cant use the icewm control panel, I couldnt compile it | 23:45 |
| daniskami | chrome: sure, Compiz works well with Xfce | 23:46 |
| G-Farkas | morphix: Yes, sorry, Is just that it is my second option. I apreciate your help :) | 23:46 |
| chrome | daniskami: can you point me to a doc on how to do it? | 23:46 |
| daniskami | chrome: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ | 23:46 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: compile it? it doesn't need... well yes.. it says you have.. BUT, the .py run right off without any fuss, from the directory you unzipped it at :) | 23:46 |
| chrome | daniskami: thats an old doc; is that going to work with 9.10? | 23:46 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: all it needs is python-gtk2 | 23:46 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: Where did you get it? | 23:47 |
| Losha | prod1: your question is a difficult one, since it refers to specific hardware, and not many people will be familiar with it. You may have better look googling for ubuntu + the particular model of sound card | 23:47 |
| Typos_King | which GIMp install adds | 23:47 |
| morphix | E17 + ecomorph = win | 23:47 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: the iceWM control panel? | 23:47 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: Yes | 23:48 |
| daniskami | chrome: I don't think there's more to it than installing the right packages, but... | 23:48 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: gimme one sec... lemme see if I can find the url | 23:48 |
| prod1 | I think it is more of a problem with ubuntu than the sound card as I have the driver and know how to install its just that I get errors during install which are kernel related | 23:48 |
| chrome | daniskami: there are some helpful comments further down that talk about 9.10 | 23:48 |
| Copperred | Hello.......something is preventing me from dragging open apps between screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? | 23:48 |
| daniskami | chrome: ok. I stopped using it a while ago because it eats up resources | 23:49 |
| Losha | prod1: I can't promise anything, but do you want to pastebin the error output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com so we can have a look at it...? | 23:49 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: this one: http://www.phrozensmoke.com/projects/icewmcp/ ? | 23:49 |
| prod1 | that would be sweet :) thanx so much | 23:50 |
| Losha | prod1: meanwhile, you've nothing to lose by a google search.... | 23:50 |
| chrome | daniskami: yeah, machine has plenty of resources, but I like how snappy xfce is in general, so I kind of just want a bastard child :) | 23:50 |
| Copperred | Hello.......something is preventing me from dragging open apps between screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? | 23:51 |
| prod1 | irc is always my last resort, have been googling all night now and im just gettin more confused as i go on :( | 23:51 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: yes | 23:51 |
| Losha | prod1: :-) | 23:51 |
| Copperred | hello is there anyone here who can help me with my display issue? | 23:52 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: it doesn't require any compiling, it'll run off any directory, all you do is, run/execute the .py, all it needs installed is python-gtk2, which if you have Gimp, it already installed it | 23:52 |
| synnema | which kind of graphic card you have used? | 23:53 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: Let me try :) | 23:53 |
| Copperred | .....something is preventing me from dragging open applications between the two screens on Ubuntu...maybe i clicked a display setting.....any ideas? It has been working fine till this morning. | 23:53 |
| Copperred | By two screens..i mean the two workspaces provided in Ubuntu accessed via the right hand lower corner. | 23:53 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: icepref.py is the one that has all settings that usually go in ~/.icewm/preferences | 23:53 |
| v0lksman | anyone have a link to help compile openssh5 on Hardy? | 23:53 |
| Copperred | Synnema.....not sure...which sort of video card i have. | 23:53 |
| Copperred | but i belive that is working fine. | 23:54 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: Thatks, It seems to work fine | 23:54 |
| prod1 | i3Cgp8BR | 23:54 |
| prod1 | damn | 23:54 |
| zhaozhou | Copperred: The dragging between workspaces should be a gnome-setting, has nothing to do with your videocard or driver. | 23:55 |
| Losha | v0lksman: some reason you can't wait for a regular build? | 23:55 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: don't forget to backup your preferences file :) heheeh, now it then I've got old settings overriden | 23:55 |
| Losha | prod1: ? | 23:55 |
| zhaozhou | Copperred: No application would hinder you from doing this either, unless it has specifically set the "allow dragging" to false. | 23:55 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: doenst matter ;) | 23:55 |
| Copperred | i foudn the culprit | 23:55 |
| prod1 | sorry about that, how shall i give you this link? | 23:55 |
| Copperred | i ahd changed the appearance setings | 23:55 |
| v0lksman | Losha: it's not coming for Hardy. if I want to stay LTS I'd have to wait another year I think...I need it now | 23:55 |
| Losha | v0lksman: so what have you tried so far? | 23:56 |
| G-Farkas | Typos_King: But, other question,the more important reason that make me use tray icons is for apps like pidgin, and it shows differents icons for differents status. I still can obtain it. Any idea? | 23:56 |
| Losha | prod1: just tell us the url it gave you... | 23:56 |
| prod1 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/i3Cgp8BR | 23:56 |
| v0lksman | Losha: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-411492.html | 23:57 |
| v0lksman | instead of a make install on openssl I did a checkinstall and it fails.. I'm not putting this in without some sort of roll back | 23:58 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: when you use the right-click option, it just drops the window icon, and is all you get, if the app uses the tray, and the tray is enabled/showing, it'll show such, I run a dictionary/rssfeed/others in the tray, and they show the icon status changing, but those I don't drop them with the right-click, they add themselves upon load | 23:58 |
| PyroPhelia | what does green highlighted txt mean in the terminal? | 23:58 |
| jim--- | PyroPhelia: it's just a reflection of the permissions of that file. You can get the same information just be looking at the perms. | 23:59 |
| Typos_King | G-Farkas: I'm thinking your tray is not showing, or usually having the 'mailbox' in the tray some times creates conflicts, it has for me in the past | 23:59 |
| jim--- | PyroPhelia: if I recall correctly in stock ubuntu that's a world-executable file. *shrug* | 23:59 |
