|---|---|---|
| jham_lindow | Well, I have a printer with a built in media reader and it won't accept two of the three flash media devices I use. One mounts without problems while the other two have major problems. | 00:00 |
| Tombuntu | norbi905: and add universe | 00:01 |
| Lomi | BlubbTec, so it's a buffer issue resulting from the change? | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will be started Control D will terminate... | 00:01 |
| jham_lindow | Printer has been supported by Ubuntu since 8.04 so that is obviously not the problem. | 00:01 |
| ubuntu__ | help | 00:01 |
| norbi905 | Tombuntu, main, universe and multiverse .. try that | 00:01 |
| BlubbTec | Lomi: uff, i'm actually not sure what causes the bug internally, but it's some miscommunication between alsa and pulse caused by some bugs in the karmic-alsa version | 00:02 |
| Tombuntu | norbi905: Thanks got it. | 00:02 |
| Lomi | BlubbTec, so just get update? | 00:02 |
| * PunchyPanther jumps for joy | 00:02 | |
| Lomi | BlubbTec, or go change the aperture aswell? | 00:02 |
| BlubbTec | Lomi: all I did was downloading the alsa-plugins in that ppa | 00:03 |
| Lomi | BlubbTec, alright man, I'll have a look. | 00:03 |
| Lomi | Cheers | 00:03 |
| BlubbTec | gl | 00:03 |
| jham_lindow | Isn't it right that flash memory degrades over time? Then that might be the problem with the two devices that I am having issues mounting. | 00:06 |
| ringer | checking /var/log and there is a file poularity-contest anyone know what this is? | 00:06 |
| jham_lindow | Like as of constant use. | 00:06 |
| ardchoille | ring1: that contest has to do with debian stuff | 00:07 |
| ardchoille | or so I was told | 00:07 |
| ubuntu__ | Can someone help me with this: Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will be started Control D will terminate... | 00:07 |
| unop | ringer, popcon takes a poll of commonly used packages and sends information back to the package maintainers | 00:07 |
| ardchoille | unop: Thought so, thanks for that | 00:07 |
| ringer | ok - thanks guys - I did some updates the other day - must be from that | 00:07 |
| ubuntu__ | no one? | 00:08 |

| ubuntu__ | ok is there a way to install over existing install without writting over home? | 00:10 |
| alden_away | ah i see | 00:10 |
| Lomi | On a related note. Since switching from Debian to Ubuntu, I'm finding myself waiting far longer for the headers on an apt-get update than I did under Debian. Any reasons why? I mean it's not that big of a deal, just curious if it works differently. | 00:11 |
| unop | ubuntu__, no. but you can backup /home before the install and then restore it afterwards. | 00:11 |

| alden_away | !away | alden_away | 00:12 |
| ubottu | alden_away, please see my private message | 00:12 |
| unop | ubuntu__, Draglor - do you mean "separate partition" instead?? | 00:13 |
| Draglor | there's only swap and / | 00:13 |
| Draglor | yes | 00:13 |
| ubuntu__ | unop: yeah | 00:13 |
| V3RR3Z | How do I make a Make file | 00:13 |
| unop | ubuntu__, yes /home is always a separate dir then | 00:13 |
| ardchoille | you can set up home to be on a sep part, but you need to do it manually | 00:13 |
| ubuntu__ | unop: so i should be ablt to reinstall to the root dir and not touch home | 00:14 |
| unop | ubuntu__, well, is your /home on a different partition or not? if not, then no | 00:14 |
| ubuntu__ | unop: right ansd ubuntu defaults to only 2 part. swao and everthing else | 00:15 |
| ubuntu__ | right? | 00:15 |
| sisy | alo | 00:16 |
| ubuntu__ | last try anyone Getting error at startup: Mount of file system failed. A maintenance shell will be started Control D will terminate... | 00:17 |
| unop | ubuntu__, perhaps, i'm not sure -- I always create a separate partition for /home -- the point is, if the installer formats / in the install process, then you lose /home -- you can stop the installer from formatting / but then that defeats the point of a 'clean install' or a 'reinstall' as you are left with all the cruft from the old install. | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | ubuntu__: I would start by reviewing /etc/fstab and then determine if the hard drive is having problems | 00:17 |
| Draglor | he could wipe anything instead of home before install | 00:17 |
| Zombie | I have Dial up Modem support issues. | 00:18 |
| ubuntu__ | ok thks | 00:18 |
| unop | ubuntu__, enter the maintenance shell and then try .. sudo mount -a # that should list the problem hopefully | 00:18 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Liquinn45, if you google online you'll find information on how to reset your pass, off my head boot using recovery than it would be something like passwd [username] newpass | 00:23 |
| Liquinn45 | Hmm, you sure? I only have access to the login screen, dunno how I'd change the password with only having access to that | 00:23 |
| ninjai_ | can anyone help me with boot CD issues? | 00:23 |
| Liquinn45 | ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386 is what I'm using | 00:23 |
| Draglor | you could start from cd, chmod into your installed system and change the password then Liquinn45 | 00:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Liquinn45, in grub menu choose recovery and from there use the following command than reboot again and login with your new pass | 00:24 |

| switch10 | Pirate_Hunter: :) ya I think you are wrong... It has been done. I just want to do it myself for the experience. | 00:46 |
| daftykins | Eri_: ok i think what you'll need to do is boot a livecd, mount the install, chroot into it and then remove that package | 00:46 |
| iamnotaguest | soreau: Ok, trying a new driver.. Apparently it's properietary. | 00:46 |
| jimbeam12 | anyone install avg ...just installed it and ive got no icons for it..help | 00:46 |
| sinisterstuf | nobody know how to send signals like usr1 to a running task in the terminal? | 00:46 |
| dever23b | Can anyone walk me through converting an AVI/MPG video to DVD? I'm pretty sure I need to use ffmpeg, but I'm not quite sure what options to use, of if it's even necessary | 00:46 |
| daftykins | iamnotaguest: standard 'nv' driver there then. | 00:46 |
| bazhang | dever23b, try devede | 00:46 |
| Eri_ | daftykins: chroot? | 00:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10, oh, ok, than do tell me of your endeavour once your done, I am now curious | 00:47 |
| sinisterstuf | dever23b: you could try using DVD Styler? i'm not sure | 00:47 |
| daftykins | dever23b: that's not the purpose of this channel. see !ot | 00:47 |
| jimbeam12 | help..just installed AVG...and ive got no icons for it.. | 00:47 |
| soreau | iamnotaguest: yes, that's the one you want for now. reboot after it's done installing and compiz should work | 00:47 |
| daftykins | Eri_: yes it's a way of using the local install as if it was what you were booted into, but via the livecd | 00:47 |
| dever23b | bazhang, sinisterstuf | Thanks | 00:47 |
| Eri_ | daftykins: How exactly do I use it? | 00:47 |

| switch10 | Pirate_Hunter: ill let ya know if it works though | 00:48 |
| daftykins | Eri_: are you in a livecd on the computer right now? | 00:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10, I have... I have across that app before never had to use it but do know of it and yeah please do tell me | 00:48 |
| Eri_ | No, I'm on a different computer. | 00:48 |
| daftykins | Eri_: ah, step 1 is boot a livecd on the affected computer then :D | 00:49 |
| BlubbTec | ^^ | 00:49 |
| sinisterstuf | guys please, anyone know how to send the usr1 signal to something running in the terminal??? i'm desperate | 00:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Sinister, huh? care to explain? | 00:50 |
| === running_rabbit07 is now known as Car_Ram_Rod | ||
| Eri_ | daftykins: I don't think I have the livecd here. I'm redownloading Karmic now. Is there a way I can download a smaller image that will do what I want it to do? I don't think I need the entirety of Ubuntu to do this one thing. | 00:50 |

| skywalker_ | hi | 00:52 |
| sinisterstuf | did i just cause that guy to quit? :S | 00:52 |
| sinisterstuf | hi | 00:52 |
| skywalker_ | I am trying to connect two monitors | 00:52 |
| skywalker_ | I hav ubuntu | 00:52 |
| daftykins | Eri_: mmm, most likely there's a small distro that would do the same thing - can't think of something that'd definitely have the right utilities though | 00:52 |
| skywalker_ | 9.1 | 00:52 |
| daftykins | !ask | skywalker_ | 00:52 |
| ubottu | skywalker_: 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. :-) | 00:52 |
| daftykins | hey Myrtti how go the travels? :D | 00:53 |
| Eri_ | daftykins: Do you know where I could find one? | 00:53 |
| BlubbTec | Eri_: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate is a text only version of the live cd | 00:53 |
| BlubbTec | Eri_: or wait, maybe its only installation, and not livecd, i'm not sure | 00:54 |
| daftykins | Eri_: i was just pondering puppy linux or knoppix, puppy is small and could probably do it | 00:54 |
| sinisterstuf | skywalker_: I've never done that, so I wouldn't know how, does your graphics card have 2 outputs? | 00:54 |
| sinisterstuf | oops gotta go, bye guys | 00:54 |
| daftykins | bai | 00:54 |
| daftykins | skywalker_: do you have them both connected? | 00:55 |
| axon | please help me. i want to know how i can change the background of a cell in openoffice for certain cases (for example when its value is lower than 25 it turns red). I have no idea how it works | 00:55 |
| Eri_ | daftykins: I'll give Puppy a try. | 00:55 |
| daftykins | axon: that's called conditional formatting, in MS Office. probably the same there | 00:55 |
| Zec | how can i open firefix in terminal ? | 00:55 |
| daftykins | Zec: type "firefox" | 00:55 |
| Zec | ok | 00:56 |
| skywalker_ | Hi, I just installed Ubuntu in my brand new sony viao laptop, with Nvidia card in it. My laptop monitor went blank. But when I connected an external Flat panel monitor it works. I figured out how to get the laptop monitor to work, by changing the xorg.conf file to read the EDID of the laptop monitor by the customEdid option. But then My external monitor doesn't work !! I want both of them to work. | 00:57 |
| skywalker_ | @dafty - yes | 00:57 |
| amimusa | BlubbTec, still around ? | 00:58 |
| daftykins | skywalker_: are you running an nvidia driver? if so, use the nvidia X server settings program to setup twinview | 00:58 |
| Red0 | hello, could someone help me with nm-applet? i just want to know if this is still a suitable solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187874 for the keyring prompting | 00:58 |
| amimusa | i think i know what it could be, ... | 00:58 |
| skywalker_ | yes | 00:58 |
| amimusa | i can't log in in the window system | 00:58 |
| amimusa | due to a ecrypted problem on the home directory | 00:59 |
| amimusa | i guess | 00:59 |
| amimusa | but now i don't have time to check that | 00:59 |
| skywalker_ | I am running the nvidia driver. But the nvidia settings doesn't detect my laptop monitor | 00:59 |
| amimusa | i just profit i can listen on youtube and see a serie | 00:59 |
| amimusa | the big bang theory | 01:00 |
| daftykins | skywalker_: that's really weird. what graphics and which nvidia driver? | 01:00 |
| skywalker_ | nvidia geforce2 330 M card | 01:00 |
| skywalker_ | the 185 driver | 01:00 |
| skywalker_ | its lik, the kernel isn't choosing the right EDID for the monitor | 01:01 |
| daftykins | skywalker_: it might be worth trying the newer versions; https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 01:01 |
| skywalker_ | what are those ? | 01:01 |
| daftykins | the nvidia PPA to get the 190 and 195 driver | 01:01 |
| skywalker_ | how do I install those ? | 01:02 |
| skywalker_ | ok | 01:02 |
| skywalker_ | found it | 01:02 |
| skywalker_ | I will give it a try | 01:02 |

| UbuntuBoy | Question: I have Adobe Reader 9 on Ubuntu 9.04. Every time I open a PDF it opens it in about 10% zoom. If I resize it and close it, and reopen it it will still be zoomed at 10%. How can I change it to open the way I want it (say 95% for example)? | 01:04 |
| meowbuntu | Happy Easter | 01:04 |
| daftykins | UbuntuBoy: wouldn't you rather use a nice FOSS PDF reader? :D | 01:05 |
| daftykins | you too meowbuntu | 01:05 |
| UbuntuBoy | I don't know what FOSS is :( I use adobe. | 01:05 |
| daftykins | free open source software | 01:05 |
| Kentrel | !foss | 01:05 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 01:05 |
| daftykins | Kentrel: ty :) | 01:06 |
| Kentrel | Okular is a nice pdf app | 01:06 |
| daftykins | UbuntuBoy: yeah, why use adobe reader? use something free. if you insist though, if there isn't something in the settings about a default zoom level you'll probably have no choice | 01:06 |
| Kentrel | Though there are "free-er" ones | 01:06 |
| UbuntuBoy | Well I also use foxit and others and try to use FOSS when I can, but adobe seems to be superiour. | 01:07 |
| BlubbTec | amimusa: wb. when you got some time, try a pulseaudio -v and pastebin the result | 01:07 |
| UbuntuBoy | Foxit seem to have the same probs as Adobe (although it does open a bit bigger). | 01:08 |
| daftykins | yeah i put Fox-it PDF reader on peoples computers that i setup / advise it to people | 01:08 |
| daftykins | but that's windows... | 01:08 |
| CyberaX2195 | UbuntuBoy: you talkin about the embedding /launch and /action into pdfs? | 01:09 |
| UbuntuBoy | no more suggestions? | 01:09 |

| mcurrington | By default, Ubuntu has a email icon on the panel which interfaces with email and im. Is it possible to get that menu to use Mozilla Thunderbird instead of Evolution? | 01:10 |
| CyberaX2195 | mcurrington: can't you just drag the thunderbird icon onto it ? | 01:10 |
| UbuntuBoy | @Kentrel: foxit has a native linux version | 01:10 |

| UbuntuBoy | @CyberaX2195: i don't think so, I'm talking about Adobe opening PDF always at 10% zoom | 01:12 |

| cedriczg | jacinto: Could you install docky? | 01:41 |
| masu3701 | oh so this is 64 bit? | 01:42 |

| UbuntuBoy | ssv1994: Well ATI has a driver for the card. but I'm not entirely sure if it is 10.04 compatible. | 02:01 |
| ssv1994 | why not? | 02:01 |
| daftykins | Mfrogg: not really, but there's no reason you couldn't run an OpenVPN server atop the file server as a VM | 02:01 |

| cedriczg | apatheticsheep: those options work at least for the mysql command try to run "man setup-mysql" to see the options then | 02:06 |
| neezer | I was not given the option of where to start the partition when I installed. | 02:06 |
| Eri_ | daftykins: I'm working on getting that image working. If I just download the .iso, can I put it on a flash drive with Mac? | 02:07 |
| cedriczg | apatheticsheep: or maybe that script does not have man pages... | 02:07 |
| daftykins | neezer: since when do SSDs need strict alignment 0o | 02:07 |
| neezer | daftykins, I've read that it can cause lots of write latency due to write amplification.... | 02:08 |

| masu3701 | am trying to learn servers | 02:08 |
| Mfrogg | advisable to use SynPM to get Samba installed? | 02:08 |
| neezer | daftykins, I've just read that it helps and would like to try, I just don't know why it didn't give me the option when I installed. | 02:08 |
| Mfrogg | cedriczg - no, but one moment, I will be. :) | 02:08 |
| daftykins | neezer: technically no ubuntu version right now supports TRIM anyway so it's all a bit meh | 02:08 |
| cedriczg | Mfrogg: thanks :) | 02:08 |
| daftykins | neezer: well, ubuntu's designed to be easy to use. you need to partition in a lot more advanced way to achieve that | 02:09 |
| almoxarife | I need to set up a remote access server that relies on a client with web browser with only flash installed, any ideas, vnc relies on java on the client | 02:09 |

| Tenkawa | well.. it supposedly "works" just questionable how well | 02:11 |
| masu3701 | am trying to learn servers | 02:11 |
| daftykins | Mfrogg: samba is an open source implementation of SMB, server message block, the windows file and printer sharing service / comms method | 02:12 |
| masu3701 | to use linux server do you need to have only pc with linux OS? | 02:12 |
| almoxarife | http://www.murraytwins.com/blog/?p=65 | 02:12 |
| Mfrogg | so I should apt-get that, and not Samba4? | 02:12 |
| daftykins | masu3701: just run it in a virtual machine if you want to learn it | 02:12 |
| almoxarife | someone has put thought into it, the hp touch....... | 02:13 |
| daftykins | Mfrogg: top tip: type "apt-cache search x" where x is something to search for, e.g. "apt-cache search samba" then the list that results will tell you package names to try. so then it may say "samba" is one, so you can run "sudo apt-get install samba" | 02:13 |
| Tenkawa | oh well.. | 02:13 |
| masu3701 | daftykins: i have a pc i dont use...i am gonna install it on it and try it | 02:13 |

| daftykins | bigtom21485: why would you want to waste power like that? | 02:17 |

| lavin | ThomasG33K, just ettercap it's something to do with the brwser cause webspy says same sort of error | 02:30 |
| daftykins | moszer: :D my pleasure :) thanks for the feedback | 02:30 |

| lavin | ThomasG33K, i saw that on google i tried to update it but the command would not work | 02:31 |
| ThomasG33K | lavin: Sadly I have no experience with webspy or whatever and havent touched etter in awhile so maybe ask someone else or join backtrack's irc channel maybe | 02:31 |
| issam | any one have idea about that!? | 02:31 |
| giiker | daftykins: this friend has confidential data, it needs to be secured when it is stored or transmited | 02:31 |
| daftykins | giiker: you can set samba to be locked down on a per-IP basis, so you could set all the PCs to be statically addressed then permit only the right ones. also then have user+pass on top | 02:32 |
| daftykins | giiker: that's not really going to happen with samba. or windows clients ;) | 02:32 |

| daftykins | knoppies: once installed, to scan a subnet, do for example "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254" which would scan for PCs on every IP between 0.1 and 0.254 | 02:37 |

| daftykins | knoppies: no, you can't get hostnames from PCs via nmap like that - well, not with -sP | 02:49 |
| unop | knoppies, do you have a DNS server that maintains a zone for that range? or entries in a host file for that range? | 02:49 |

| ThomasG33K | knoppies: try this maybe http://www.networkuptime.com/nmap/index.shtml | 02:50 |
| unop | knoppies, then there's no way, unfortunately ... if some of the hosts are windows machine or run samba's nmbd, then you can attempt to learn their netBIOS names - but not DNS names or hostnames in the unix sens | 02:51 |

| unop | knoppies, it's a NetBIOS name and microsoft folk like to call it a hostname | 02:52 |
| Red_HamsterX | UbuntuBoy, I have to ask the same question as Arsaine: are you sharing thiese HDDs with Windows? | 02:52 |

| knoppies | acovrig, not sure, If you ran two different X servers (each on a different TTY), but then I know nothing about that at all. | 02:53 |
| Mfrogg | jub369- unless you want to edit the mbr and such, it's easier to wipe and reinstall windows - it'll put the hdd the way it wants it. | 02:53 |

| jub369 | mfrogg so when it says press F6 i press F6 or wat | 02:57 |
| unop | acovrig, when you say " run user2 inside user1", what do you mean ? | 02:57 |
| giiker | lavin: whenever I try to run my firefox on the remote machine from my terminal, I used to get this same error | 02:57 |
| forcekmf | shutdown: time expected is what i get but if i do "shutdown now" it just reboots | 02:57 |
| UbuntuBoy | Red_HamsterX: I have a dual-boot Windows XP Media & Ubuntu 9.04, and these hard drives are accessible via Windows (one has the Windows OS on it). So if that's what you mean by sharing then yes they are shared. | 02:57 |
| Mfrogg | If it gets to that, and you don't have a sata drive needing raid drivers, then it should ask you which hdd to install to. You have to delete the partitions and then create a partition in the space. | 02:58 |
| Red_HamsterX | UbuntuBoy, are they both NTFS? | 02:58 |
| giiker | lavin: have u tried to check for magic cookies yet? | 02:58 |
| unop | forcekmf, you might want to explicitly 'halt' the machine after shutdown then. shutdown -h now | 02:58 |
| lavin | giiker, @ x- app@ ThomasG33K mentionend that i don't know what it is let me investigate, how did you solve it | 02:58 |
| acovrig | unop, the equivalent of switch users, only keep user1 running, and open something to run user2, close that something (xterm maybe) and user2 gets forced logged out, per say | 02:58 |
| jub369 | well let me try agagin Mfrogg and i rember what the error says so i can paste it iin paste bin for ya | 02:58 |
| giiker | lavin: have u tried to check for magic cookies yet? | 02:58 |
| lavin | giiker never heard of them, i'm new to all this you see | 02:58 |
| Mfrogg | jub369 - ok | 02:59 |

| unop | acovrig, well, there's sudo that can do this. sudo -u user2 xterm . or you can use something like the gdmflexiserver or gdmXnest which either setup a new display or embed one in an already running display. | 03:00 |
| tm0 | Conky needs to start 20 seconds after boot, and you told me to make a SH with this "sleep 20; conky" | 03:00 |
| Red_HamsterX | UbuntuBoy, that may be the reason for the inaccessibility, then. Microsoft has a long history of not wanting to let anyone else play with its NTFS content. Google may be a better source for answers. | 03:00 |
| giiker | lavin: not cookies for the browser, this is another kind of cookies that X uses | 03:00 |

| UbuntuBoy | Red_HamsterX: okay but so what command would I use to change the permissions so that i'm the owner? | 03:03 |
| acovrig | unop, run as user1, or sudo -u user2 gdmflexiserver -n | 03:03 |
| lavin | giiker, it's got a 0 before lots of num. | 03:03 |
| Red_HamsterX | tm0, are you using Gnome? (The Ubuntu default) | 03:04 |
| unop | acovrig, you don't need sudo to run gdmflexiserver. just run it as you would with any other command. | 03:04 |
| lavin | giiker, http://pastebin.com/FsbSu2LY | 03:04 |
| Red_HamsterX | UbuntuBoy, they should be automatically given appropriate permissions when Ubuntu detects them on start-up, but, again, I don't know for sure. | 03:04 |

| Semitones | Ok, hey, here's what I did. I used to have two IDE hard drives, one crappy one, and one new one that was the "slave." It was starting to make noises and signs it was failing, so I opened up the case and unplugged the powerchord, without changing the Data ribbon. Now grub has an error because it can't find the first hard disk. I'm booted into the live cd now. Can I install grub2 on the "slave" hard drive from the live cd? Or do I have to open the | 03:50 |
| Semitones | case back up and make the remaining hard disk the "master?" I'm not very experienced with hardware, as you can probably tell! Thanks | 03:50 |
| jmad980 | Ivanlul, well I gotta go eat dinner, so as far as I can tell it's working, but if you need more help i'm sure someone here (thats running ubuntu :p) could help | 03:50 |
| meeper2 | Semitones: I hope you have some good backups! | 03:50 |

| Semitones | bobpaul, great :D | 03:51 |
| Semitones | My second question was going to be, "ok, now how do I go about installing grub2" | 03:51 |
| bobpaul | semitones that was pretty stupid to unplug without turning off the computer... were you using grub or grub2 before? I'll try and find a tutorial for you | 03:51 |
| kairu | does this sound right, since my big screen's size is 1920x1080 and my laptop is 1024x768 and its to the left not above or below the (xdim,ydim) of the virtual screen would be 1920x1848 | 03:52 |
| Semitones | bobpaul, no, I unplugged the computer, did the change, and plugged it back in. I was using grub before, but I'd like to install grub 2 if possible | 03:52 |
| bobpaul | well, I'd go with grub for the time being. you can always switch to grub2 later | 03:52 |
| meeper2 | so can anybody recommend a good hamachi alternative? | 03:53 |
| bobpaul | semitones: linux was on the slave, right? or were they mirror'd? | 03:54 |
| bobpaul | I mean.. your root partition | 03:54 |
| Semitones | bobpaul, my root partition was on the slave, but Grub was installed to the MBR of the master. I think. | 03:54 |

| Alcor | DR_Fun1 in the terminal? | 03:56 |
| Slyboots | Kind of stuck on an issue, An application I need needs a newer version of libgcrypt (1.4.5.2) but karmic only has 1.4.4-2 | 03:57 |
| Karth | Greez: well I used the tunelp command, its printing at about 2 lines a minute now, but its still really slow | 03:57 |
| Slyboots | How can I upgrade it wihtout breaking my system o.O | 03:57 |
| DR_Fun1 | yes | 03:57 |
| bobpaul | semitones: yeah. ok. That's a common setup. Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ... if you want to play with grub2, I would recommend leaving grub on the mbr, but installing grub2 to a partition (eg, /dev/sda1). Then you can use chainload +1 in grub to boot grub2. This lets you still boot without a livecd if you screw up grub2 | 03:57 |
| DR_Fun1 | i want to extrat a file 2 my www file | 03:58 |
| kairu | anyone have a good knowledge of xorg and xrandr? | 03:58 |
| DR_Fun1 | im new 2 web hosting | 03:58 |

| greezmunkey | Karth: So, some improvement. Sounds like you are on the right track. I suggest googlin' around for more specific info. Unfortunately, you may have to "tinker" with that printer to really get it going. Is it for forms, two part docs? | 03:59 |
| Alcor | DR_Fun1 the file name or what is in the file? | 03:59 |
| Karth | its for carbon copies | 03:59 |
| DR_Fun1 | its coo | 04:00 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: What kind of printer is it? | 04:00 |
| Karth | Greez: an Epson RX-80 | 04:00 |
| Karth | Greez: kinda rare nowadays | 04:00 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: I was hoping you'd say Okidata, yeah... | 04:01 |
| bobpaul | semitones: here's instructions to upgrade to grub2 after you got grub working again: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:01 |
| Alcor | DR_Fun1 if its a list of file names within a file do: cat "file" >> /www/ file | 04:01 |
| Slyboots | I've a .bz file for libgcrypt | 04:01 |
| Slyboots | But if I install it by hand.. without using Apt will it break anything? | 04:01 |
| Karth | Greez: have an epson LQ-850 too, but for whatever reason ubuntu makes the heads fire so hard it pokes holes in the paper :/ | 04:01 |
| Slyboots | Or have two differnet version of libgcrypt installed? | 04:02 |
| Alcor | DR_Fun1 the >> is a redirect append to the bottom fo a file | 04:02 |
| Alcor | of | 04:02 |
| Slyboots | Anyone? :P | 04:03 |
| Karth | Greez: that one worked fine in ubuntu 6, compatability with the things seems to be going down | 04:03 |
| Gnea | Slyboots: is there a PPA for it? | 04:03 |
| Slyboots | Dont know.. dont think so | 04:03 |
| Semitones | thank you so much bobpaul | 04:04 |
| Gnea | Slyboots: do you have the source for the software that needs it or is it pre-compiled? | 04:05 |
| Slyboots | Its on launchpad.. but doesnt seem like there is a PPA | 04:05 |
| Slyboots | Got the sourvce | 04:05 |
| Slyboots | But the system hsa a earlier version installed, and removing it will break a LOT of stuff | 04:05 |
| Gnea | Slyboots: I would suggest making sure that, when you install it, that it goes to /usr/local or /opt instead of /usr | 04:05 |
| Slyboots | well it should go into /local by default.. | 04:06 |
| Gnea | there is no /local | 04:06 |
| Slyboots | /usr/local I mean | 04:06 |
| Gnea | yeah | 04:06 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: See what happens when you type "lpr -o raw" (minus quotes) in a terminal... | 04:06 |
| Gnea | well, /opt is even more out of the way and probably safer. I like it because then it's easier when reading ldconfig | 04:07 |
| Alcor | ne1 look in printcap? | 04:07 |
| Zenker | is there a "shelf" similar to rocket dock or an icon organizer similar to Fences | 04:07 |

| Alcor | brb ill look | 04:12 |
| tachiro1 | jeez that's the second time that's slipped out LOL yo | 04:12 |
| Karth | Greez: its still printing the test page, and I removed the printer | 04:12 |
| tachiro1 | ubottu needs to be all over the censorship | 04:12 |

| Karth | Greez: its been going for 10 minutes and is just now doing the gradient part | 04:13 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: Alcor is helping, it's a matter of clearing the spooler...been a while. Looking. | 04:13 |
| Karth | Greez: np, no rush | 04:13 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: this may be cool, open a browser and do this: http://localhost:631/printers/ | 04:15 |
| Karth | Greez: well it shows my two network printers, good to know | 04:16 |
| danijel | how can i acess to other hard disc in xfce ? | 04:16 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: is the print job there? | 04:16 |
| Karth | Greez: no | 04:16 |
| danijel | how can i acess to other hard disk in xfce ? | 04:17 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: then that job is cached in the printers memory (probably), can you cancel or clear the printer on its panel? | 04:17 |
| Karth | Greez: If I disconnect the thing's cable it stops | 04:17 |
| Karth | Greez: besides it has like 32kb of memory | 04:17 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: when you did that www thing, did you click on the "jobs" tab? | 04:18 |
| Karth | Greez: ofc | 04:18 |
| danijel | how can i acess to other hard disk in xfce | 04:18 |
| danijel | can anybody answer me ? | 04:18 |
| bazhang | danijel, what filesystem | 04:18 |
| danijel | sdb | 04:18 |
| Alcor | try a lpstat to see if ne jobs present | 04:18 |
| danijel | and i want to acess to sda | 04:18 |
| bazhang | danijel, thats not a filesystem; ie ntfs, ext3 etc | 04:19 |
| danijel | how can i check what is that filesistem ? | 04:19 |
| danijel | ? | 04:19 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: you said two network printers? | 04:19 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: what about the dot matrix? | 04:20 |
| danijel | i think its ntfs | 04:20 |
| Karth | Greez: yeah both on windows machines in another part of the house | 04:20 |
| danijel | bazhang | 04:20 |
| ortsvorsteher | danijel, may you start gparted and switch do the device. there you will see which file system and partition its on. | 04:20 |
| ortsvorsteher | -do +to | 04:20 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: what about the dot matrix? | 04:20 |
| Karth | Greez: I removed it to try and stop the printing, that worked last time it did this | 04:20 |
| Bilnao | Hello, does APT support http basic authentication ? source.list like : http://user:pass@ip ? | 04:20 |
| danijel | how to do that ? | 04:20 |
| Zenker | does anyone know of a program like Stardocks Fences that will work in ubuntu?--or even better a shelf like program that i can store some files on ? | 04:21 |
| === eric is now known as Guest86902 | ||
| danijel | how can i do that ? | 04:21 |
| Karth | Greez: canceling the job for whatever reason didn't do anything | 04:21 |
| ortsvorsteher | danijel, just look if there is gparted installed and after that, start it | 04:22 |
| Guest86902 | Help, I'm having trouble with ffmpeg, can't convert .flv to .mp4 | 04:22 |
| mach94 | Anyone use Gnome Epiphany? I keep getting my mouse locked up so I cannot click on anything -- any idea what causes this problem with Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 04:22 |
| HowardTheDuck | dock on top vs. bottom of the screen...which is best and why? | 04:22 |
| bazhang | Guest86902, you might try handbrake | 04:22 |
| danijel | geparted ? | 04:23 |
| Alcor | greezmunkey do a man cancel and see if that is what you want | 04:23 |
| danijel | what is the name of application gepartef ? | 04:24 |
| bazhang | !gparted | 04:24 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 04:24 |
| ortsvorsteher | gparted | 04:24 |
| greezmunkey | Alcor: this brings back way too many painful memories :) | 04:25 |
| greezmunkey | Alcor: But, lpstat is your friend | 04:25 |
| Alcor | greezmunkey yessir - system 5 | 04:25 |
| Alcor | greezmunkey serial printers are the worst | 04:26 |

| greezmunkey | s/hade/had | 04:27 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: well I switched the thing off for now, any idea how to stop it? or shall I just restart the PC | 04:27 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: try running "lpstat" in a term, see what you get. | 04:28 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: absolutely nothing | 04:28 |
| danijel | how to use gparted ? | 04:29 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: lpstat -s | 04:29 |
| Alcor | Karth A reboot never hurts | 04:29 |
| greezmunkey | Alcor: that's next! | 04:29 |
| danijel | when i run it, it says me that root privilegies are | 04:29 |
| ortsvorsteher | danijel, start it with sudo command | 04:29 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: shows my 2 net printers, gonna just restart | 04:29 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: that bytes... | 04:30 |
| Mfrogg | is there a way to Su from File Browser so i can modify folders/files? | 04:30 |
| danijel | root privilegies doesnt suport gpart | 04:30 |
| Alcor | WAit | 04:30 |
| bazhang | Mfrogg, what folders/files | 04:30 |
| Mfrogg | I'm trying to create a Primary folder to be the root of a file share | 04:31 |
| greezmunkey | Mfrogg: i think gksu nautilus will get you there. | 04:31 |
| greezmunkey | Mfrogg: Use with caution | 04:31 |
| ortsvorsteher | danijel, just type in an terminal sudo gparted | 04:31 |
| Alcor | Greez do a ps -aef? and kill the print job - may have a zombie running | 04:32 |
| greezmunkey | Alcor: yeah, Karth is rebooting now... | 04:32 |
| Alcor | do a man ps first | 04:32 |
| Alcor | k | 04:32 |
| danijel | i run it | 04:32 |
| danijel | and how can i acess to disk ? | 04:33 |
| Mfrogg | would I want a share like this to be a seperate partition, for protection purposes? | 04:33 |
| Karth | yay it stopped | 04:33 |
| Guest86902 | Can anyone help me convert a .flv file to .mp4 using ffmpeg? | 04:33 |
| Sioux-33 | <Guest86902> no | 04:34 |
| Alcor | yay!!! | 04:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | danijel, just open your mind... look at the gui and on left top you will be able to select another disk... | 04:34 |
| bazhang | Guest86902, have you considered handbrake | 04:34 |
| greezmunkey | Alcor: (ps aux | awk '{ print $8 " " $2 }' | grep -w Z) find a Zombie, or so says whoever wrote it. | 04:34 |
| Guest86902 | handbrake makes them into .m4v instead of .mp4, I just tried it. | 04:35 |
| Alcor | thx | 04:35 |
| bazhang | Guest86902, no handbrake can make them into mp4, works fine here | 04:35 |

| alastairp | anyone know what channel I could find him in? | 04:35 |
| gbramwell | Is there a way to hook a Ubuntu to output an HDMI signal that will work on an HDCP TV? | 04:36 |
| bazhang | alastairp, no idea, try /wii sistpoty | 04:36 |
| Alcor | greez thx - i added that to my notes | 04:36 |
| bazhang | alastairp, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu though | 04:36 |

| danijel | how to use gparted | 04:36 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: now that the thing is stopped, any suggestions on speeding it up? | 04:36 |
| greezmunkey | Karth: did you try the "lpr -o raw" command, and then a short text print? | 04:37 |
| bazhang | danijel, you have a livecd? ubuntu or gparted livecd? | 04:37 |

| greezmunkey | Alcor: If you look in /etc/printcap you will see a warning, pointing you to /etc/cups/printers.conf. I'm not that familiar with cups right now, but I assume that manually editing that file is a no no. | 04:49 |
| compaq | alguien habla español | 04:49 |
| bazhang | danijel, simply open a browser, and go to the pastebin site, then paste the errors resulting from the commands you are using. then save, and give us the url to that pastebin | 04:49 |

| robertzaccour | bazhang, the problem with brasero 1:1 disc copy is that it fails to eject, and dumps the data before i can put the other disc in. if it ejected automatically it would be saved for the next disc pop in for recording | 05:02 |
| Rebelstar | bazhang: hmm thanks..:) | 05:02 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: gotta change the default printer for that, hold on | 05:02 |

| Karth | greezmunkey: device URI is parallel:/dev/lp0 though | 05:03 |
| bazhang | robertzaccour, never tried with brasero, so cannot advise there, k9copy can do that as I have used that to backup data dvd's and the like ie 1:1 copy | 05:03 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: for the impact printer | 05:04 |

I ask to open a folder (has a group name on it) and nothing happens. Can you give me any advice since I'd like to play these tunes? | 05:19 |
| bazhang | paul3333, envyng should always be the very last option; what video card maker | 05:19 |
| Karth | greezmunkey: gonna switch to text only driver, see if it helps | 05:19 |
| paul3333 | it's an ati 9550 | 05:19 |
| eremite | how do I play the entire contents of a folder using CVLC, VLC, MPlayer or Totem in terminal without adding each file path manually? If I want to play 2 files in a row, I usually add teh full path to each. Is there a quicker way to do this, and play ALL files in the folder with one command? | 05:20 |
| bazhang | paul3333, and hardware drivers has nothing for it? | 05:20 |
| StopSign | bazhang, sucks man i got a Apple Ipod Classic (6th Generation), rockbox wont work :( | 05:20 |
| paul3333 | bazhang it does but no control panel or such if I use them to enable dual monitors, they just sit on clone | 05:21 |
| Scunizi | Karth: another way to access cups is through firefox.. http://localhost:631 from there you can restart cups, add printers, and generally set defaults up the way you want. | 05:21 |

| Karth | greezmunkey: same speed | 05:39 |
| purplebluesilver | ah yes. I see now. That meant after the prompt. (wonders how the prompt went from > (in my mind) to $ (in the terminal). | 05:39 |
| eremite | purplebluesilver: when you see a $ that just represents the beginning of a new line of commands. | 05:39 |

| zenta | yes | 05:52 |
| zenta | from terminal | 05:52 |
| flyingtabmow | if you type "ls | grep configure" is there a line that indicates there is a configure script in the directory? | 05:52 |
| zenta | root@ubuntu:/home/zenta/Desktop/heuntold-demo-linux-x86-2.2-rc2-28-g5f80fd0# ./configure make | 05:52 |
| zenta | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 05:52 |
| flyingtabmow | what about just typing make | 05:53 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: and then "make install" | 05:54 |
| Semitones | hey I added this section to the wiki. Would anyone who remembers how to recover Grub doublecheck its accuracy? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#For Grub Legacy | 05:54 |
| zenta | make install | 05:54 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: first "make", then "make install" | 05:54 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: when make is done | 05:54 |
| zenta | i type first ./configure gave me bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 05:56 |
| langtree | If Ubuntu crashes, is there a good place to look for information on why ? | 05:56 |
| langtree | Like log files, etc ? | 05:56 |
| zenta | so i cant do make its gave error the same | 05:56 |
| Semitones | depends on the type of crash I think | 05:56 |
| aetaric | langtree: log files are in /var/log | 05:56 |
| langtree | It was a hardware failure. | 05:56 |
| aetaric | anyone know if kdump is installed and configured by default? | 05:57 |
| aetaric | !info kdump > aetaric | 05:57 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: is there a makefile in the directory? | 05:57 |
| aetaric | i guess there is no kdump | 05:58 |
| jenue | guys. i need help =( | 05:58 |
| zenta | No package make available | 05:58 |
| mossy | What do you need help with Jenue | 05:58 |
| jenue | yes. running warcraft 3 in ubuntu | 05:59 |
| mossy | Ah, okay. | 05:59 |
| zenta | because now i tried yum install make | 05:59 |
| mossy | Is that your only option? You have no other OS you could use for this? | 05:59 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: make should be included by default | 05:59 |
| jenue | i've only have ubuntu here | 05:59 |
| jenue | warcraft 3 is already installed in my machine but running warcraft 3 using wine will diplay a black screen | 06:00 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: are you just typing "make" at the prompt? only "make", not "./make" or "./configure make" or anything else? | 06:00 |
| zenta | first i type ./configure after gave me bash: ./configure: No such file or directory so when i type make gave me root@ubuntu:/home/zenta/Desktop/heuntold-demo-linux-x86-2.2-rc2-28-g5f80fd0# make | 06:02 |
| zenta | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 06:02 |

| jdforsythe | question - i installed 10.04 beta 1 and during install set aside a partition as ext4 /data to store my data that i want to share between 8.04 and 10.04 | 06:03 |
| bazhang | jdforsythe, #ubuntu+1 for lucid please | 06:03 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: if there is no configure script or makefile, is the program already compiled? are you sure you downloaded sources? | 06:04 |
| jdforsythe | i popped open nautilus and the /data folder is root and not my user, so I can't write to it | 06:04 |
| jdforsythe | ah my fault | 06:04 |
| === ser_ is now known as ubuntu | ||
| jdforsythe | nonetheless, i don't think this is release-specific - just want to know how i can set the folder to accessible by user and not root | 06:04 |
| zenta | i download the file heuntold-linux-demo.tar.gz after i extracted | 06:05 |
| jdforsythe | i'm assuming with chmod but what's the syntax to change it to this user? | 06:05 |
| jdforsythe | or would I have to modify /etc/fstab to add the gid uid? | 06:05 |
| zenta | pls how can i make sure the sources is downloaded ? | 06:06 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: give me a moment, i'm downloading the file, will take a look at what's inside | 06:07 |

| zenta | thankyou for your help | 06:29 |
| mach94 | jdforsythe: does hacker evolution game support ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| mach94 | jdforsythe: have you contacted them regarding support for your ubuntu desktop? | 06:29 |
| jhoc2x2 | hello? | 06:29 |

| zenta | so how can i know the file its source file or binary and how i deal with it | 06:30 |
| zenta | yes thankyou i am started now to learn more | 06:30 |
| jeffesquivel | hi, is anyone experiencing freezes on netbook edition lucid beta 1 on a dell mini 1012 ? | 06:30 |
| rocket16 | zenta: It is a binary file if it is automatically executable, and to run it, you can use "./file" command | 06:30 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| jhoc2x2 | am i doing this right?? i typed " chmod +x '/home/jhoc2x2/Downloads/HoNClient-0.3.1.sh' " | 06:31 |
| zenta | ok thats for binary file thankuo | 06:31 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: if you download source, it will usually say so on the links you click on, and furthermore in the directory you download you'll find files full of source code, as well as scripts like "configure" and files like "Makefile" | 06:31 |
| jhoc2x2 | mach94, you there? | 06:31 |
| mach94 | jhoc2x2: yup | 06:32 |
| zenta | oh ok goooooooood | 06:32 |
| jhoc2x2 | mach94, am i doint it right? i typed "chmod +x '/home/jhoc2x2/Downloads/HoNClient-0.3.1.sh'" | 06:32 |
| jhoc2x2 | mach94, it does nothing | 06:32 |
| mach94 | jhoc2x2: you should ask on the Heroes of Norad message board, because they support ubuntu | 06:32 |
| jhoc2x2 | not norad bude | 06:33 |
| jhoc2x2 | its Heroes of Newerth | 06:33 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: chmod won't say anything when it runs | 06:33 |
| jhoc2x2 | lol | 06:33 |
| kitche2 | jhoc2x2 it does something just that you dont get output | 06:33 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: as long as it's successful | 06:33 |
| jhoc2x2 | ohh.. i see | 06:33 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: now just run the file | 06:34 |
| jhoc2x2 | i did | 06:34 |
| jhoc2x2 | i dont know if it work or not | 06:34 |
| jhoc2x2 | i can't see if its installed or fail | 06:34 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: there's no output from the shell file? | 06:34 |
| jhoc2x2 | flyingtabmow, nothing | 06:35 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: do you know what the file is supposed to do? | 06:35 |
| zenta | so each time i wnat to play this game i have 2 do this steps because i didnt find it in applications | 06:35 |
| mach94 | jhoc2x2: do you need the link? | 06:35 |
| jhoc2x2 | flyingtabmow, it's supposed to do an installation of my favourite game Heroes of Newerth | 06:35 |
| jhoc2x2 | mach94, the link to what? | 06:36 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: no, from now on just type "./hacker-evolution" in the directory where the game is∫ | 06:36 |
| zenta | ok thats clear now my firend i am very happy | 06:37 |
| flyingtabmow | zenta: haha, great ;) | 06:37 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: do you know where it is supposed to install to? | 06:37 |
| mach94 | jhoc2x2: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com | 06:37 |
| rocket16 | zenta: No, another easier way is to set up a shortcut, | 06:37 |
| jhoc2x2 | i'll start from the beginning, I downloaded HoNClient-0.3.1.sh from the website, it's on my download folder, but I don't know how to install this thing | 06:37 |
| zenta | ohhh yes i thought its like windows haha | 06:38 |
| jhoc2x2 | thanks mach94 .. i'll see to that | 06:38 |
| mach94 | there is a linux desktop support forum there -- they are very responsive too | 06:38 |
| mach94 | s2games is awsome | 06:39 |
| rocket16 | zenta: What the location of the game folder? | 06:39 |
| flyingtabmow | jhoc2x2: sorry, i can't help you much further, can't really diagnose anything from here | 06:39 |
| zenta | /home/zenta/Desktop/heuntold-demo-linux-x86-2.2-rc2-28-g5f80fd0 | 06:39 |
| jdforsythe | plz can anyone help? i set up a partition /data during install and it's mounted as root, only read access to user. how do i change this so my main (only) user can have rw access? | 06:40 |
| jhoc2x2 | thanks to all anyway.. mach94 your given link really helps.. tnx dude | 06:40 |
| tonyyarusso | !permissions | jdforsythe | 06:41 |
| ubottu | jdforsythe: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:41 |
| rocket16 | zenta: Ok, then right-click the desktop, create launcher and in command box enter "sh -c "cd /home/zenta/Desktop/heuntold-demo-linux-x86-2.2-rc2-28-g5f80fd0; ./binaryfilename" | 06:41 |
| jdforsythe | wouldn't i want to change it in /etc/fstab? | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jdforsythe: what filesytem? if ext2/3/4 you need to chown/chmod the mountpoint after its mounted.. or chmod/chown dirs on the FS. for the user to have full rights to it | 06:41 |
| jdforsythe | ext-4 | 06:41 |
| tonyyarusso | jdforsythe: nope | 06:41 |
| jdforsythe | aha! right! forgot about chown | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jdforsythe: i always make a subdir on my 'data' filesystems - one for each user. and chown/chmod that dir for them | 06:42 |
| rocket16 | zenta: Where binary file name is the name of the game file, and enter the name as "HAcker's Evolution" | 06:42 |
| jdforsythe | i was searching the man page for chmod and couldn't find how to change the owner! duh | 06:42 |
| jhoc2x2 | I am installing the game now.. thanks a lot mates | 06:42 |
| nyxtom | I wonder if there's a way to get a simple connect to external monitor hotkey (without fn+f4) | 06:42 |
| jdforsythe | ty all... now i feel like such an idiot... lol | 06:43 |
| jhoc2x2 | signing off | 06:43 |
| jhoc2x2 | exit | 06:43 |
| rocket16 | zenta: And you can start the game by double-clicking the launcher | 06:43 |
| nyxtom | i'm moving from windows 7 over to ubuntu, loving it! but the windows+p was a pretty convenient shortcut | 06:43 |
| zenta | i am trying now to do it | 06:43 |
| rocket16 | nyxtom: You can make your own keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu in System-Preferences-Keyboard Shotrcuts | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I have to wonder how often a day you use the external moniotor shortcuts.. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | nyxtom: depending on the card/video you could set up some xrandr commands to do changes also via a keypress | 06:45 |
| nyxtom | well i do it every day morning and night at least | 06:45 |
| nyxtom | since i have a laptop i like to code away from the monitors before i go to sleep | 06:45 |
| nyxtom | i'll have to look at the xrandr commands | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nyxtom: on my netbook - oddly enough. If i plyg in a external montoir - it defaults to that | 06:46 |
| jdforsythe | yea just go to system / prefs / keyboard shortcuts and set whatever you wish | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nyxtom: i set it up once.. and not had to ever yse theose shortcuts again | 06:46 |
| nyxtom | oh nice | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nyxtom: I do recall having to have the monitor plkugged in BEFOR i power up however. | 06:46 |
| totle | How do I tell Ubuntu to connect to internet when booted up without the necessity to log in? Is that possible? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | totle: you mean via 'wireless' netwroking? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | totle: and yes its possible.. i just dont recall the best way | 06:47 |
| totle | Dr_Willis, exactly. | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | wired would allready be doing that. :) | 06:48 |
| totle | Dr_Willis, that's right. I forgot to mention that. | 06:48 |
| rocket16 | totle: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/internet/C/connect-to-internet.html | 06:48 |
| rocket16 | totle: There is a procedure mentioned | 06:48 |
| totle | rocket16, thanks, I found some stuff myself too. | 06:49 |
| zenta | sorry in command box enter sh -c only ,or all the directory ? | 06:49 |
| tonyyarusso | lol, feisty docs? | 06:49 |
| tonyyarusso | totle: You should be able to just check the box for "Make available to all users" in network-manager and be done with it. | 06:50 |

What I have been able to do though is to use photorec to recover stuff into a (disorganised) heap of files in a directory, it might be better than nothing. | 07:15 |
| ardchoille | mouse: I have Humanity and Humanity-Dark dirs in /usr/share/icons | 07:15 |
| ubuntuguy | arand: my root directory is /dev/sda1, but I don't know what hd(x,x) it is | 07:15 |
| denis | hello, any ideas of how to activate my wireless? | 07:15 |
| arand | ubuntuguy: Ok, so first, are you using karmic, jaunty, or a karmic upgraded from jaunty? | 07:16 |
| arand | ubuntuguy: karmic being 9.10, jaunty 9.04 | 07:16 |
| denis | karmic | 07:16 |
| mouse | ardchoille: I have the Humanity-Dark too but what I'm talking about is two humanities. One with a capital H and a lowercase h. Is this supposed to be like this? | 07:16 |
| ug|xdcc13 | •arand• ok... still a noob so I need a bit more about photorec... program? if so, for what os? | 07:16 |
| rocket16 | zenta: My pleasure, :) | 07:16 |
| ubuntuguy | arand: lucid fresh install, (but seeing as this is a grub2 problem, I think asking for support here should be ok) | 07:17 |
| ubuntuguy | oh | 07:17 |
| jeffesquivel | denis, was it working before and now it stopped working or has it never worked before? | 07:17 |
| zenta | thank you and hope see u in next issues haha | 07:17 |
| ubuntuguy | it's not grub legacy :P I thought I had that installed for some reason | 07:17 |
| arand | ug|xdcc13: available in ubuntu, from a liveCD, I think you'll have to activate the universe repositories in System>Administration>Software Sources. | 07:18 |
| ardchoille | mouse: nope, the opne with a lower h is probably made by you | 07:18 |
| denis | the problem is with my laptop, it works in jaunty but now I had some problems and i decided to change for karmic | 07:18 |
| LincoN^ | Hey #Ubuntu. How do i formate(clean) my ubuntu computer? | 07:19 |
| LincoN^ | !formate | 07:19 |
| LincoN^ | !clean | 07:19 |
| arand | ug|xdcc13: and then simply "sudo aptitude install photorec" and then "sudo photorec" | 07:19 |
| mouse | ardchoille: Hmm I wonder how that happened. Thank you. | 07:19 |
| ubuntuguy | arand: what actually happened was I had two hard disks installed, and I removed the master because it was failing, leaving only the slave (which contained the root partition) | 07:19 |
| arand | ubuntuguy: Let's jump into #ubuntu+1 since it's Lucid support ;) | 07:19 |
| ubuntuguy | arand: as you wish :) | 07:20 |
| ug|xdcc13 | •arand• ok. i'll try that in the a.m... thanks! | 07:21 |

| captain-obvious | i see | 07:27 |
| rlp10 | captain-obvious: thanks for your thoughts | 07:27 |
| captain-obvious | why not just dual boot? | 07:27 |
| captain-obvious | win7 doesn't take up that much space | 07:27 |
| rlp10 | paul3333: or run them in a virtual machine like vbox? | 07:27 |
| paul3333 | captain-obvious: the reason I moved to ubuntu is because my machine is old and the most I can run on it is xp, and I got hacked a lot of times which is bad for business since I develop for a living :) | 07:28 |
| captain-obvious | i see | 07:28 |

| captain-obvious | bloopletech: depends on what you plan on doing with it | 07:48 |
| hafidz | hello ppl | 07:48 |
| cde | bloopletech, sure, u caan get the nice Graphic. | 07:48 |
| hafidz | i have some question | 07:48 |
| hafidz | i have installed kde in my ubuntu | 07:48 |
| bloopletech | captain-obvious: Well my immediate issue is that ubuntu hasn't detected the resolution of my screen | 07:49 |
| rocket16 | hafidz: Sure, what is it? | 07:49 |
| rocket16 | hafidz: Ok, | 07:49 |
| hafidz | now i want to remove it.. | 07:49 |
| hafidz | but i want to know.. | 07:49 |
| cde | hafidz, why not gnome?~ gnome nice :) | 07:49 |
| hafidz | if i remove it..would it damage my system | 07:49 |
| captain-obvious | i'd say yes then | 07:49 |
| hafidz | yes.. | 07:49 |
| giiker | exit | 07:49 |
| hafidz | i use gnome and kde.. | 07:49 |

| cde | hafidz, hor...i like Gnome ... kde look like Xp = = | 07:49 |
| rocket16 | hafidz: In Synaptic, search for Kubuntu-Desktop and unmark it, then "Apply" | 07:50 |
| cde | but i know got diffen | 07:50 |
| hafidz | owhh | 07:50 |
| toffee | gnome looks sucks in ubuntu | 07:50 |
| hafidz | would it harm my system after that | 07:50 |
| rocket16 | Yesm GNOME is better, since KDE is more massive, | 07:50 |
| hafidz | i mean iworried if it would mess my ubuntu | 07:50 |
| arand | hafidz: That will rip any KDE-specific aplications also, say if you installed k3b in gnome. | 07:50 |
| rocket16 | hafidz: No, because KDE is just a Desktop Manager, and nothing else, | 07:50 |
| mobius2 | greetings | 07:50 |

| mobius2 | Hey folks I figured out the disc swap problem during Call of Duty 1 installation in Ubuntu, however there is a last second stub which pertains to my video adapter missing one or more of the required attributes to run the program. I have an older laptop ( gateway m-275 ) but the ram is at 1 gig ( upgraded ) and the video adapter is a 64 MB 3d integrated Intel G.P.U. more than enough to run the program.... could it be direct x emu | 07:54 |
| mobius2 | lation? | 07:54 |
| mobius2 | this is COD 1 original box set under WIN latest | 07:54 |
| mobius2 | thats wine latest sorry | 07:54 |

| mobius2 | been one year to the DAY i got my new house | 07:57 |
| mobius2 | *yay* | 07:57 |
| yellowroost924 | is anybody else having problems with http://www.inkscapeforum.com/ ??? | 07:57 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, direct x is a windows program right | 07:58 |
| hafidz | i do have prob too yellowroost | 07:58 |
| mobius2 | I did notice that the error report contained all sort of inaccuracies about my system specs, and also that it was loading "config0"....ominously | 07:59 |
| yellowroost924 | hafidz: htanks for confirming | 07:59 |
| captain-obvious | it's a framework not a program | 07:59 |
| mobius2 | and yes its a windows only runtime plat though i think it's emulated with some* success by the OS movement | 07:59 |
| hafidz | welcome yellow. seems like the server down | 07:59 |
| HKPC | list | 07:59 |
| meowbuntu | i get error 2 yellowroost924 | 07:59 |
| mobius2 | in open GL | 07:59 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, y do you need it ubuntu has far better things than direct x | 08:00 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, are you new to ubuntu | 08:00 |
| mobius2 | meowbuntu, I am attempting to install an older FPS game called Call of Duty ( original box set ) | 08:00 |
| mobius2 | i have gotten past disc swap | 08:01 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, get wine, and playonlinux that should do it (for free stuff anyway) | 08:01 |
| mobius2 | i have gotten to the veeery end of the whole deal but then there is some gross inaccuracies in my wine crash report when the stub occurs saying my hardware cannot run the program which I already knowis not the case | 08:01 |
| mobius2 | and no | 08:01 |
| mobius2 | ive run gentoo for 7 years | 08:01 |
| mobius2 | but i just got time off | 08:01 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, THIS IS UBUNTU RIGHT | 08:02 |
| mobius2 | preceisley | 08:02 |
| mobius2 | can you help me? | 08:02 |
| meowbuntu | now have you got wine | 08:02 |
| mobius2 | meowbuntu, yes | 08:02 |
| meowbuntu | have you got playonlinux | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | i always cheat and use my windows installs files for problematic games | 08:02 |
| mobius2 | i have crossover and cedega..... but i sure do not have "playonlinux" | 08:03 |
| meowbuntu | ^ Dr_Willis you play them on windows??? | 08:03 |
| meowbuntu | playonlinux is an addon for wine. | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: ages ago id take games like that - install them on windows.. track down no-cd cracks and make up a 'fixed' version/installer that did it all for me. | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | most of them would then work very well in wine also | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | that is an Old old game however. :) | 08:04 |
| meowbuntu | Dr_Willis, to run on linux | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine the wine app database has a lot of info on it. I wonder where my original cd's went to for it. | 08:04 |
| meowbuntu | Dr_Willis, wine works best with old stuff | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: wine works best with what the wine devs work to make it work with | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Copy Protection on many old games - the biggest issue. | 08:05 |
| mobius2 | Dr_Willis, I had considered such a thing to get past my problems with the disc swap.... but the problems I am currently having appear to be due to a lack proper system specs.... I am assuming this is due to my lack of having the ( playonlinux) software | 08:05 |
| hafidz | hello..anyone here know about processing? | 08:05 |
| rocket16 | For DOS Games, Dosemu and DosBox are nice, but few people like them, | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | mobius2: ive neverused PlayOnLinux - i tried it out once.. and dident really need it. So i cant really advice if its needed or not | 08:05 |
| hafidz | i just download processing and extracted it | 08:05 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, well get playon linux then | 08:05 |
| hafidz | but i can't run it | 08:05 |
| mobius2 | meowbuntu, am doing in real time | 08:06 |

| meowbuntu | ugur, ok y are you needing grub2 on usb | 08:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ugur: what did you use to make the grub.cfg? and what filesystem is thependrive? | 08:10 |

| meowbuntu | ugur, i hve 3 os on 1 usb atm never used grub 2 its not to suitable | 08:10 |

| meowbuntu | ugr you need to make grub in boot sector ont on partition. | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ugur: you could of done a mistake in the directions and never put grub on thembr of the pendrive also. its hard to tell | 08:11 |
| mobius2 | meowbuntu, playonlinux is installed ( but not even looked at yet ) and the wine error report is at http://pastebin.com/DqWBBb5p | 08:11 |
| ugur | Dr_Willis: Can you recommend another guide that you have used ? | 08:12 |
| meowbuntu | try /dev/sdb at end | 08:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ugur: see my delicious.com links i gave above | 08:12 |
| ugur | Ok thanks | 08:12 |

| meowbuntu | ugur, y are you wanting to put grub on usb | 08:15 |

| Dr_Willis | LincoN^: theres a few tools out to cleanout various caches.. but its normally not an issue | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | LincoN^: if you try the compute-janitor tool be VERY VERY VERY carefull with it. | 08:30 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, clean as in ? | 08:30 |

| LincoN^ | formate (?) i want to install windows again... (ubuntu powns but im more like a gamer type and then windows is better) ^mNotIntelligent | 08:32 |
| theadmin | nishanth: I have a guide on how to make a dual-boot with windows, do you want a linky? | 08:32 |
| nishanth | can it do the partitioning for me | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | nishanth: i tend to use perhaps 4 partitons tops. -> (windows) (linux) (linux HOME) (swap) all primary partitions | 08:32 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Ne0N0va, any issue ? | 08:32 |
| mcurrington | Dr_Willis: The compute-janitor you were referring to before, is that the one in the menus by default? | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurrington: yes.. it can really cause issues... | 08:32 |
| Ne0N0va | how do i get this away: SSL dissection needs a valid 'redir_command_on' script in the etter.conf file | 08:33 |
| Ne0N0va | Privileges dropped to UID 65534 GID 65534... | 08:33 |
| Wht11 | yah i like this...much quicker then windows | 08:33 |

| Eri | I can't log into my main Ubuntu, and believe I have singled out the problem that is causing it. It's a program called pysdm. But, in order to uninstall it, I need to log into Ubuntu. I have a LiveCD session up on my computer right now. How can I uninstall the program from the LiveCD session? | 08:33 |
| mcurrington | Dr_Willis: Are you able to elaborate or is there more information somewhere else? I'm interested. | 08:33 |
| Wht11 | the browser wowo really quick impressed | 08:33 |
| nishanth | theadmin : wats the linky? | 08:33 |
| robertzaccour | how do i shrink an iso to fit on a standard dvd disc? its 5.7 and i need it to fit on a 4.7 | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurrington: about what? ubuntu-tweak? it has its own homepage. | 08:33 |
| theadmin | nishanth: Read this: http://ubuntutotalnoob.blogspot.com/2010/03/getting-dual-boot-with-windows.html - it should be pretty clear what to do | 08:33 |
| Ne0N0va | SSL dissection needs a valid 'redir_command_on' script in the etter.conf file | 08:34 |
| Ne0N0va | Privileges dropped to UID 65534 GID 65534... | 08:34 |
| Wht11 | is there like winrar program in ubuntu | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: you could try k9copy - if its a video disk. | 08:34 |
| Ne0N0va | why? | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !rar | 08:34 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 08:34 |
| LincoN^ | How do i clean my computer (install windows again) | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Wht11 | 08:34 |
| mcurrington | Dr_Willis: no, how the other one causes issues | 08:34 |
| arand | nishanth: Yes, if you choose "install side by side" it will, you can choose how much space you want to take from the windows install for ubuntu. | 08:34 |
| nishanth | theadmin:thanx | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurrington: it can remove things you dont want removed.. and its suggestions are often just wrong. | 08:34 |
| robertzaccour | how do i shrink an iso file? | 08:34 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, its takes some time to get used to ubuntu/linux... but once you get a hang of it...you become sort of addict to linux, because of the immense power at your hands... do anything you want just using the commad lines.. i would rather say.. give it one more chace.. and we are here to help you people out.. do let us know if you face any issues.. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | mcurrington: its the sort of tool that should really not be included. in its present state | 08:34 |
| robertzaccour | i have a 5.7 that i need to fit onto a 4.7 | 08:34 |
| nishanth | arand it is the oter way around.. i have ubuntu....i want to assign space to windows | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: and this is a movie iso file? | 08:35 |
| LincoN^ | ^mNotIntelligent, the problem isnt ubuntu. it's that im more like a gamer... and ubuntu doesnt fit well for gamers :) | 08:35 |
| mcurrington | Dr_Willis: OK, maybe we should file a bug report about this? Or has this already been done? | 08:35 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, no, its my shit its legit | 08:35 |
| bazhang | robertzaccour, no cursing please | 08:35 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: Why not a dual-boot then? | 08:35 |
| robertzaccour | ok sorry | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: so whats On the iso file then? if its 5+Gb of actual data. not a movie.. well its going to stay that big.. | 08:35 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, there are many other linux flavors tailormade for gamers.. why dont you try one of them ? | 08:35 |
| LincoN^ | theadmin, i think i have to small drive | 08:36 |
| theadmin | Methinks this ISO is of a dual-layered DVD. | 08:36 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, its all together, can't separate it | 08:36 |
| LincoN^ | ^mNotIntelligent, orly? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: if its 3000+ images and other files. you could mount the iso and copy the files to 2 different isos | 08:36 |
| robertzaccour | are there any programs like iso shrinkers? | 08:36 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: See the link i gave to nishanth above, http://ubuntutotalnoob.blogspot.com/2010/03/getting-dual-boot-with-windows.html | 08:36 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, it has to stay together | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: you could use the various archiver tools then I guess. | 08:36 |
| Nickfeld | hi guys ... i tried ubuntu many times and every time i use it i get another problem concerning the compatibilty of windows programs , is this problem solved in the lates edition of ubuntu 9.10? | 08:36 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, I've not used them personally...but know there are many.. I guess someone here Like Pici or Dr_Willis can give you a better idea on that | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: but thenit will be a 2 step thing to access the files. | 08:37 |
| robertzaccour | is there any way to shrink an iso? | 08:37 |
| robertzaccour | will dvd shrink work or is that just for movies? | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: the fact its an iso dosent really seem to matter.. | 08:37 |
| LincoN^ | theadmin, so it works with 80(74Gb) drive? | 08:37 |
| theadmin | Nickfeld: This is not a problem. This is normal. Ubuntu should not, nor never will be, fully compatible with Windows. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: dvdshrink reencodeds video files.. you stated thats not what your data is. | 08:37 |
| LincoN^ | !game | 08:37 |

| arand | nishanth: Is it for XP or later win? | 08:38 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, oh ok, didn't know what other files it handled | 08:38 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: I have 2 partitions there, 40 GB Windows, 39 GB Linux and 1GB linux-swap | 08:38 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | Ne0N0va, tell me what kinda problem you are facing with ur distro | 08:38 |
| nishanth | is it possible that i could use parted to free some space instead of using a live CD? | 08:38 |
| nishanth | arand: win7 | 08:38 |
| theadmin | nishanth: You can't resize the disc from which the system is loaded, sorry. | 08:39 |
| LincoN^ | theadmin, is it easy to fix partions? | 08:39 |
| StopSign | yep i hate loading up virtualbox everytime just to add songs to my ipod 6th gen lol | 08:39 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, have a look here : live.linux-gamers.net | 08:39 |
| robertzaccour | is there any way to change the size of an iso? | 08:39 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: Depends on your skill. For me, it was simple. For others, might be hard | 08:39 |
| Ne0N0va | have problem to get ettercap work in backtrack 4 | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Ne0N0va: see the backtrack channel | 08:40 |

| subone | My firefox crashes anytime I open a Java page. Someone said "Which JRE are you using and have you symlinked the plugin ? (it will crash if you copy the plugin because the plugin can't find the JRE)" What's my next step? How can I fix this? | 08:40 |
| bazhang | Ne0N0va, #backtrack-linux | 08:40 |
| robertzaccour | need to backup software, i backup everything i have | 08:40 |
| Ne0N0va | thanks | 08:40 |
| LincoN^ | theadmin, skill on what? computers, linux, partions? | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !backup | 08:40 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 08:40 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: Well, basic stuff. If you ever twinkled around with partition tables before, you will find GParted very simple to use | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | They updated the factoid. :) wee | 08:40 |

| LincoN^ | never dealt with partions b4, dont like deleting things at the computer at al :P but theres like only 1 of my games that works on Ubuntu, and now im on a LAN and would be great while sharing some games | 08:41 |
| Daniel_Ubuntu | Hey | 08:41 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | !hi | Daniel_Ubuntu | 08:42 |
| ubottu | Daniel_Ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 08:42 |
| arand | nishanth: What I would do is boot a liveCD and use gparted to rezise the ubuntu partition towards the end of the disk (at this point ubuntu will no longer boot, it will be fixed later), then install w7 inot the free space at the beginning of the drive, and make sure it starts ok, then again boot a liveCD and reinstall grub for the ubuntu partition !grub or !grub2 has a guide. That should be it.. | 08:42 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: You don't need to delete ANYTHING, GParted can resize without damaging the data! | 08:42 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: hm, its only looking pretty if i dont maximise my irssi windows, with maximiezed windows its not looking nice :) | 08:42 |
| LincoN^ | ẗheadmin, atm deleting isnt a problem :) just to be able to play somehow | 08:42 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | LincoN^, I've never tried them, so I dont have any answer for them,but I would suggest you to have a look over there.. you might find somethign useful | 08:44 |
| theadmin | LincoN^: How well i understand you :( You know, running my favorite games (HL2, Portal, etc) on Ubuntu is hardly possible. | 08:45 |
| subone | LincoN^, so you have decided to install another operating system? | 08:45 |

| Wht11 | the freedom to have as many desktop as u want ..wow | 08:52 |
| Eri | soreau: After I installed the program, Ubuntu stopped booting. Also, there are a couple people on the forums that have had the same problem. | 08:54 |

| soreau | Eri: How did you install this program? | 08:54 |

| kasun | Hello, My Microphone is not working in ubuntu. Only front jack is working! But when I go to "Sound preferences", hardware is identified. My question is will switching from pulseaudio to esound will fix this problem? | 08:54 |
| Eri | soreau: Synaptic. | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | all pysdm does i thought was give you a gui to edit the /etc/fstab file | 08:54 |
| kasun | thanks in advance! | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | removeing psysdm may NOT restore that file. | 08:54 |

| Wht11 | whens the next release coming out... | 08:56 |

How can I setup mixxx to use the headphones for headphones, and hdmi ( or default) for sound? Thanks | 08:56 |

| Dr_Willis | !defrag | 09:13 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 09:13 |

| bazhang | visof, that's fine | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | subone: ../bin could be anywere. if you are installing things to /bin/ you should beusing the proper package manager tools. | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | subone: apt has tools to track down orphans. | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | subone: stuff from source should be either made into packages. or perhaps put in /opt/ or /usr/local where they can be isolated | 09:26 |
| subone | i mean some installers you download online are scripts.... who knows what they install where and if there are even uninstallation instrctions | 09:26 |

| Dr_Willis | subone: i doubt it. Never seen one. never even heard of one. | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | subone: in theory the installers SHOULD be going to /opt/ or /usr/local thats the proper place for them to be doing their work | 09:28 |

| Dr_Willis | exeutable for a file - dosent make it writeable.. for a dir. it would | 09:55 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: i have no idea as of now, i just need to edit a file where i don have permission at all, even with sudo, so if i give g+x i guess i would be able to edit it, what do u suggest ? | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | You make it writeable and its editable.. exeuctable has nothing to do with that on a file. | 09:57 |

| Dr_Willis | a through understanding of file permissions/ownership is a VERY good thing to learn | 10:03 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: rite, thought i would never come to that part,,, :( | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | you are aparently trying to run a web server without learning the basics.. thats like trying to waterski befor you can swim. :) | 10:04 |
| moetunes | or stand | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | i belive you set your users to theproper groups and they can edit those html files.. but i rarely do that sort of work | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Iknow theres a better solution then chantgeing the permissions/owner, editing, then changeing it back | 10:05 |

| Maletor | like what to color the folders or files etc. | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ls colors them depending on the ls settings | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | thats not related to the PS1 prompt colors | 10:14 |
| Maletor | ok | 10:14 |
| moetunes | ls --clolors=auto maybe Maletor as an alias in bashrc | 10:14 |
| Maletor | so it's not in .basrc? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | its a ls setting | 10:15 |
| Maletor | k | 10:15 |

| Dr_Willis | Obadubalo: check their forums for user submitted configs perhaps. | 10:33 |

| moetunes | seems to be a few folk with apple h/ware installing ubuntu - says something | 10:35 |
| Dr_Willis | they got lots of spare cash? | 10:35 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 10:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | moetunes: what do you mean? | 10:36 |
| moetunes | hehe | 10:36 |
| Obadubalo | well i use it on a mac mini | 10:36 |
| moetunes | brontosaurusrex: seen a few apple users in here lately is all | 10:36 |
| Zombie | I have found that a non-Winmodem made by 3Com doesn't work right under Ubuntu. | 10:37 |
| Obadubalo | it is small, quiet, consumes little power | 10:37 |
| Zombie | The modem is fully detected in Ubuntu, but gives fragmented responses to AT Commands | 10:37 |
| gheddy_zarc | mm 9.10 with all the whistles and bells is nice on any platform, wonder what 10.04 will be like | 10:37 |
| Zombie | Is there a problem with setseral? | 10:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | moetunes: right, i keep forgeting that there are less powerfull things than macpro, i keep running virtual engines on my entry-level macpro, they work faster than standalone ubuntu installs on my older dual-core opteron | 10:38 |
| Blank__ | is it possible to "wear out" a USB thumbdrive prematurely by installing ubuntu on it? | 10:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | gheddy_zarc: minimize/close buttons are now defaulted on top-left, which goes fine with apple :P | 10:39 |
| Zombie | Blank__: No.... | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Blank__: they have limited life. a 'live cd' type install wont wer it out as fast. butive never managed to wear one out yet... | 10:40 |
| brontosaurusrex | moetunes: i know bunch of apple people who run ubuntu natively just for houdini thought | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Blank__: so its really not much of an issue | 10:40 |
| Zombie | Dr_Willis: I know someone who runs Ubuntu on an Arcade machine. | 10:41 |
| stevecam | if i buy an official ubuntu cd, will money go towards the ubuntu project? | 10:41 |
| moetunes | brontosaurusrex: I saw an apple comp once - it seemed ... overpriced | 10:41 |
| brontosaurusrex | moetunes: they are | 10:42 |
| Blank__ | well is it possible for the computer itself to spazz out while using a USB drive? for some reason i'm getting ext4-fs read errors, and it seems the drive has ceased reading or writing | 10:42 |
| moetunes | :) | 10:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | moetunes: i'd say they are 4 times overpriced, i mean not just 2x | 10:42 |

| bazhang | angel_, archlinux try #archlinux ubuntu try the minimal iso | 10:47 |
| bazhang | !minimal | angel_ | 10:47 |
| ubottu | angel_: 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).

| Dr_Willis | angel_: thers minimal ubuntu variants.. or use the server edition. | 10:48 |
| technikfreak | and i am interested in real testing not the fake articles | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | angel_: or remove what you dont want | 10:48 |
| bazhang | technikfreak, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic this is Ubuntu support only | 10:48 |
| Patrycja | why | 10:48 |

| richard123 | Dr_willis: I can right click and get: add to panel: but what is the exact name of the aplet please from the list- I cant see it? Thanks. | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | angel_: server has no X - corrext | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | richard123: no idea. proberly windowlist.. start adding till you figure it out | 10:49 |
| angel_ | Dr_Willis: ty, will try that | 10:49 |

| geekyogi | Dr_Willies Thanx.. :) | 10:52 |
| bazhang | chilli0, perhaps tried handbrake? that works well in that situation | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | chilli0: it could be the versionof mencoder or ffmpeg its using - dosent have faac support | 10:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | chilli0: the right tools are: x264 + neroaacenc + some knowhow about x264 command lines + mp4box or get handbrake | 10:52 |
| chilli0 | bazhang, I really like using Winff lols but if i must. I will | 10:52 |
| bazhang | chilli0, dont know about winff, sorry not to be more helpful | 10:53 |
| chilli0 | It's k | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | winff is just a front end to the other tools. theres some versions of mencoder out there that dont have all the options compiled in for legal reasons i recall | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | mencoder has examples of convertingfor various decices in its faq/docs ive seen | 10:54 |
| lea | Hi ! | 10:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | thought the repos version of x264 says this; or libav* formats if compiled with lavf support (no) or ffms support (no)., so to avoid using ffmpeg or mencoder, one will have to do a custom compile of it | 10:58 |

| * alessiofachechi saluta il clan | 11:09 | |
| bootninja | so does anybody have any ideas on how to select default sound card in 9.10? | 11:11 |
| moetunes | bootninja: right click the icon in the panel? | 11:12 |
| redilyn_ | right click on the volume icon in the systray and choose preferences | 11:13 |
| redilyn_ | then go to the hardware tab | 11:13 |
| redilyn_ | choose the soundcard you want as defaukt | 11:13 |
| bootninja | moetunes, I have already selected the new sound card in the sound properties, there. I even went so far as to turn off the internal sound card. but it's still outputting sound to the internal card | 11:13 |
| redilyn_ | what sound card did you install? are all system sounds going to internal or only some applications? | 11:14 |
| artanis^ | Hi. | 11:15 |
| bootninja | it is a usb card from creative, the x-fi go! Vlc and the music preview in nautilus go to this new card, but system sounds and the hulu desktop application go to the internal sound card. | 11:15 |
| redilyn_ | I was just looking at the sound preferences, did you select the new card on all the tabs? | 11:15 |
| bootninja | yes | 11:15 |
| moetunes | bootninja: you might have to turn the onboard of in the bios - I never use usb sound so that is just a semi-educated guess | 11:16 |
| bootninja | I even went so far as to disable the internal card | 11:16 |
| moetunes | k | 11:16 |
| artanis^ | Must really say that after 1 day on ubuntu I really like it. Never had tried something so simple where I don't feel that I miss alot as I did with mandrake. | 11:16 |
| bootninja | moetunes, sadly, my bios is a proprietary gateway bios and I don't have the option to turn off the internal card in bios | 11:16 |
| redilyn_ | can you use lsmod and determine what module is your internal card? | 11:18 |
| moetunes | bootninja: :( | 11:18 |
| redilyn_ | you could unload the module and blacklist it | 11:18 |
| bootninja | redilyn, the internal card is the snd_hda_intel and when I try to unload it, it says that it's in use and can't unload | 11:18 |
| redilyn_ | bootninja: thats fine, add it to /etc/modules/blacklist and then reboot and see what happens | 11:19 |
| carmen | ola | 11:21 |
| carmen | quien eres? | 11:21 |
| redilyn_ | bootninja did you get that suggestion? | 11:21 |

| digim0nk | richard123, look for restricted extras in your add/remove progs | 11:37 |
| bootninja | richard123, to view a css protected dvd in linux you have to install the css decoder package. used to be called libdvdread I think | 11:38 |
| nir2000 | hi what Emacs to install | 11:38 |
| bootninja | nir2000, install vim instead :) | 11:39 |
| stevecam | richard123, do you know what a patent is? | 11:39 |
| richard123 | bootninja: I have libdvdread installed in Synaptic, but still cant play the DVD: do I need to activate the decoder somehow or is it automatic? | 11:39 |
| richard123 | stevecam? | 11:39 |
| nir2000 | bootninja vim is too complicated | 11:40 |
| digim0nk | richard123, bootninja is correct .. i didnt know that that there was no DVD playback included in Restricted Extras | 11:40 |
| bootninja | richard123, did you install libdvdread before installing your media player? | 11:40 |
| stevecam | richard123, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 11:40 |
| bootninja | nir2000, I was kidding. you might try the default nano | 11:41 |
| richard123 | bootninja: no afterwards, last thing I did. | 11:41 |
| bloopletech | can anyone recommend a replacement for gnome-terminal with Ctrl+F text search, and that doesn't have https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579022 ? | 11:41 |
| iceroot | nir2000: sudo apt-get install emacs22 (but think of, if you dont know how to install emcas maybe its not a good idea to use it) | 11:42 |
| bootninja | richard123, Try uninstalling your media player and reinstalling | 11:42 |

| danusia | hallo | 11:46 |
| iceroot | nir2000: its THE editor, also it doesnt need a gui | 11:46 |
| richard123 | bootninja: maybe it is not a region but a blueray problem? | 11:46 |
| iceroot | nir2000: and remember vi != vim, ubuntu only comes with vi so you have to install vim | 11:47 |
| bootninja | thought you were having problem with dvds. blueray is a different format and may need different libraries | 11:47 |
| nir2000 | iceroot, is it installed already in Ubuntu | 11:47 |

| iceroot | nir2000: sudo apt-get install vim | 11:49 |
| bootninja | iceroot, last I had heard all distros installed vim and vi was a symlink to the vim binary | 11:49 |

| gregg | hi all - i need some commandline help - I need to delete all directories that do NOT have *.mp3 in them or their subdirectories - any ideas? | 11:57 |

| ubottu | SpiceMan: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 11:57 |
| DexterLB | can I change the fonts of one of the X screens to be bigger but keeping the size for the other screens? | 11:57 |

| gregg | DexterLB: oki | 11:59 |
| costre | Ahmed\, Nevermind that, I thought it was a question :) | 11:59 |

| Ahmed\ | HHHHHHHHHHH it was HUH what else you expected :$ | 12:00 |
| redilyn_ | iceroot, no md1 is /home, this is why im trying so hard to get it back | 12:00 |
| redilyn_ | iceroot, md0 was /, i told the installer to format it | 12:00 |
| redilyn_ | iceroot, it failed to format md0 which is what caused all of this | 12:01 |
| brontosaurusrex | gregg: i'd google for 'negate glob bash' | 12:01 |

| sixtila | do you think the lucid will come up with the required drivers? | 12:11 |
| Idlehead | i think so. multi-touch devices are emerging so I think lucid will provide drivers sooner or later | 12:11 |

| redilyn_ | gdb, then go to the background tab | 12:20 |
| jrib | emghazal: well, for example you can just tar the directory up and place the tarball in a samba share. It depends on what you want to do | 12:20 |
| ammulu | idlehead, yes its showing that i have a cd drive but its not reading its contents... | 12:20 |
| Draglor | emghazal: Backing up to a samba share is the same as backing up somewhere else ... | 12:20 |
| redilyn_ | ammulu, is the cd badly scratched? | 12:20 |
| Idlehead | ammulu, could it be that the CD is protected with some kind of copy protection? | 12:21 |

| ubuntu_ | how 2 create repository just like fedora | 12:26 |
| jrib | emghazal: I imagine most will work fine. The only issues I could possibly foresee is it not retaing attributes like permissions and ownership (I don't know if samba does this), but if you are backing up your own files, it shouldn't matter | 12:26 |
| Draglor | ammulu: does the cd boot on your system? | 12:26 |
| ammulu | draglor, no...Its not reading it | 12:27 |
| Draglor | jrib: some of the backup solutionseven store peremissions etc. in a seperate file, even on a fat fs. | 12:28 |
| redilyn_ | ammulu, what are you trying to do with the cd? install ubuntu? if so, perhaps you can make a liveusb at your friends house | 12:28 |
| ammulu | redilyn_, yes I can do that but I wanted to put my cd drive in order :) | 12:29 |
| redilyn_ | ammulu, i was just thinking sometimes its best to leave things be, especially if it reads other cds without problems | 12:30 |
| emghazal | After trying few programs, I think I'm doing this wrong. I'm using the samba share address (smb://iomega-d1491/backup/) as the destination. What else should I do? | 12:30 |

| sharat87 | hello, I am trying to combine two flv files.. but have been failing.. I tried a few options found through google, using ffmpeg, mencoder, pitivi etc., but I think the flv files are of different bitrate or something.. | 13:11 |
| sharat87 | how do i check it? | 13:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | yw | 13:12 |
| sharat87 | or is there another preferred option on ubuntu to combine flvs? | 13:12 |
| brontosaurusrex | sharat87: how do you combine flvs when not on ubuntu? | 13:13 |
| sharat87 | i never did... | 13:13 |
| sharat87 | i have ubuntu at my disposal now so.. looking for ubuntu options :) | 13:14 |
| brontosaurusrex | sharat87: there is your answer, no freaking way | 13:14 |
| sharat87 | so, what do u suggest? some software on windows or something? | 13:15 |
| verbatim | sharat87: i think mencoder will do it if you do something like "mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy file1 file2 file3 … -o final_movie.mpg" | 13:15 |
| sharat87 | that's what i tried previously.. i came up with the same search result :) | 13:16 |
| sharat87 | but i want an flv.. | 13:16 |
| sharat87 | is it a different command for flv | 13:16 |
| Someguy77 | how can I check if my graphics driver is working properly? | 13:17 |
| billy2007 | so just change the mpg to flv | 13:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | sharat87: it wont work | 13:17 |
| benni123 | hi there, is there a way to use another ubuntu on a mounted disk as if it was booted normally to install updates? | 13:17 |
| billy2007 | Someguy77, what are you on 9.10 | 13:17 |
| Someguy77 | yes karmic | 13:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | sharat87: at least i'am not aware of any tool on any os that would do that | 13:17 |
| sharat87 | just changing the sctension did not work | 13:17 |
| sharat87 | s/sctension/extension | 13:18 |
| sharat87 | i get a corrupted video file | 13:18 |
| billy2007 | Someguy77, go to system adminstration hardware drivers | 13:18 |
| fabio333 | so? | 13:18 |
| billy2007 | Someguy77, if your drivers are not on or not working it will tell you | 13:19 |
| Someguy77 | billy2007: hardware drivers won't start | 13:19 |
| billy2007 | Someguy77, hmmmm | 13:20 |
| Someguy77 | billy2007: it says searching for avaliable drivers forever | 13:20 |
| billy2007 | Someguy77, im not sure on that m8 sorry :( | 13:20 |
| billy2007 | ah thats what should happen | 13:20 |
| costre | Someguy77, forever? Do you interrupt the process? | 13:20 |
| Someguy77 | no | 13:20 |
| Someguy77 | I've been waiting for several minutes | 13:21 |
| costre | ok. Most issues are due to impatience :) | 13:21 |
| benni123 | Is it possible to login to a mounted ubuntu drive, something like ssh style? | 13:22 |
| Someguy77 | its still going!! | 13:22 |
| Someguy77 | I think its been searching for over 10 minutes | 13:22 |
| Someguy77 | should I try reinstalling the drivers? | 13:22 |
| ubutom3 | hhm, would the netbook remix be better for my kinda old laptop with celeron@1Ghz and 512MB RAM? Normal ubuntu is very slow on it... | 13:23 |
| StevenR | hi. When I adjust the volume, a grey rectangle appears near top right showing the volume adjust... but when I alter my laptop's panel brightness, it doesn't do that. How do I get this back? | 13:23 |
| Someguy77 | isn't the new name for the netbook remix actually Ubuntu netbook edition? | 13:24 |
| fabio333 | <ubutom3>: a clean ubuntu is fast enough there | 13:24 |
| thechef | benni123, you mean you have another ubuntu-installation mounted to /mnt/other-ubuntu-root for example? In that case use: sudo chroot /mnt/other-ubuntu-root | 13:24 |
| ubutom3 | fabio333, idk, my machine is really very slow ;) | 13:24 |
| benni123 | thechef, exactly | 13:24 |
| ubutom3 | especially with firefox | 13:25 |
| fabio333 | ubutom3>: i got an old laptop with 512 mb rab .... | 13:25 |
| ubutom3 | fabio333, and what processor? | 13:25 |
| digimOnk_ | ubutom3, have you tried xubuntu | 13:25 |
| benni123 | thechef, I get chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error | 13:25 |
| fabio333 | ubottu, a littler better than yours | 13:26 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:26 |
| ubutom3 | digimOnk_, no, but i tried using fluxbox as desktop manager | 13:26 |
| ubutom3 | fabio333, a celeron at 1ghz is like a pentium III with 700mhz | 13:27 |
| billy2007 | ive ben looking at jolicloud that looks pretty good | 13:27 |
| StopSign | anyone know a good music app for cleaning up dirs | 13:27 |
| digimOnk_ | ubutom3, using xubuntu on an eeePC which is a celeron wth 512 MB .. its fine | 13:27 |
| fabio333 | ubuntulog, how much it's worth you can get a decent pc with few dollars or euros... | 13:27 |
| ubutom3 | digimOnk_, k, will try that if it doesnt improve after the upgrade :) | 13:28 |
| fabio333 | ubuntulog, anyway lucid is faster than karmic | 13:28 |
| ubutom3 | fabio333, thats retarded, why should i buy new hardware if there is software that runs better on it? | 13:28 |
| tachiro1 | clarify | 13:28 |
| billy2007 | !lucid fabio333 | 13:28 |
| jck | notify-send does not right.. where do i file a bug report, libnotify or notification-daemon? | 13:29 |
| fabio333 | ubuntu, ??? | 13:29 |
| billy2007 | !lucid | fabio333 | 13:29 |
| StopSign | bigger faster stronger ubutom3 | 13:29 |

| tachiro1 | that was extremely informative ubotto | 13:30 |
| tachiro1 | ubottu* | 13:30 |
| fabio333 | lucid is more stable than karmic now | 13:30 |
| billy2007 | !lucid | fabio333 | 13:30 |
| ubutom3 | StopSign, the point is, I wanted to know if the netbook remix runs better on my laptop, I dod not want to have advice like buy yourself a new laptop | 13:30 |
| Idlehead | fabio333, i beg to differ. but lucid has more flaws than my karmik installation right now. | 13:31 |
| fabio333 | ubutom3, that's not what i meant | 13:31 |
| tachiro1 | yo can't someone make ubottu censor profanity here? | 13:31 |
| StopSign | ubutom3, i know i was just having a little fun :p | 13:31 |
| ubutom3 | :) | 13:31 |
| billy2007 | tachiro1, init we could swear then | 13:31 |
| fabio333 | celeron 1ghz is crap, whatever you run on it .... buy on old decent pc | 13:31 |
| Slart | tachiro1: it's just a bot.. it can't censor stuff | 13:31 |
| tachiro1 | hmm, | 13:31 |
| tachiro1 | ahhh ok | 13:31 |
| fabio333 | i'm not talking about core i7 | 13:32 |

| Slart | !language | 13:32 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 13:32 |
| Idlehead | ubutom3, have you been using the netbook remix? | 13:32 |
| ubutom3 | Idlehead, no, I asked if it would be better for my laptop | 13:32 |
| Idlehead | ubutom3, don't even think about using it. the interface lags as hell and does not run well under 1,3 ghz. don't know why though. | 13:33 |
| askhl | tachiro1, you may be able to have your local IRC client censor rude words though | 13:33 |
| tachiro1 | ohhhh | 13:33 |
| ubutom3 | Idlehead, hm, tahts odd, thought it was altered to fit netbooks, Atom-CPUs aren't very fast in general :) | 13:34 |
| tachiro1 | we might not be thinking of the same thing.. but i know pidgin (using) has option | 13:34 |
| === matt is now known as elfondo | ||
| tachiro1 | there's a paintball chat that i go to that has this hilarious solution to that | 13:34 |
| Idlehead | ubutom3, it is supposed to run well, but i tried it on my new eee and well, it lost against moblin | 13:34 |
| ubutom3 | hmkay, thanks | 13:35 |
| digimOnk_ | ubutom3 , the NBR was a little slow on my eee | 13:35 |
| Idlehead | digimOnk_, i noticed the slowness as well and marked it as not usable for me. moblin is way better for eee :) | 13:36 |
| StopSign | so lets say i buy a netbook for my girl, u think it wont be worth a dam comp to winblows | 13:36 |
| ubutom3 | yeah, maybe i should do a fresh install with 9.10, upgraded this box from idk what version to 8.04 and now to 10.4 to test :) | 13:36 |
| digimOnk_ | Idlehead, yeah wanna give moblin a try | 13:36 |
| tachiro1 | btw is there a distro that's build specifically for laptops? | 13:36 |
| tachiro1 | built* | 13:37 |
| tachiro1 | well to run most efficiently | 13:37 |
| tachiro1 | or more* | 13:37 |
| === freevryheid is now known as fvs | ||
| Idlehead | digimOnk_, the only flaw i could not get rid of: moblin does not recognize my wifi hardware inside the eee :/ | 13:37 |
| digimOnk_ | Idlehead, ouch .. really | 13:37 |
| billy2007 | tachiro1, check out jolicloud | 13:37 |
| Slart | tachiro1: there are some "lighter" distros.. and distros you can customize yourself.. archlinux is customizable.. dsl is small and light.. puppylinux is also said to be lean | 13:37 |
| Idlehead | digimOnk_, yeah. it sucks to need a cable connection everytime i wanna use it while eating breakfast. but i think i can get it working | 13:38 |
| Slart | tachiro1: there are so many distros.. why not have a look at distrowatch, see if they have some kind of recommendation | 13:38 |
| billy2007 | Slart, jolicloud is made specifically for netboks | 13:38 |
| Idlehead | billy2007, jolicloud is actually the same as the ubuntu netbook remix: slow and laggy | 13:38 |
| tachiro1 | well i got a few guidelineswhich one won't put me at a complete stand still until i master terminal | 13:39 |
| tachiro1 | guidelines. * | 13:39 |
| guest6980 | hi i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and all my window action b uttons like minimisze and close are on the left side of my window, how can i put them on the right? | 13:39 |
| digimOnk_ | Idlehead, good to know everythin else works .. i shud give moblin a spin | 13:39 |
| Slart | !lucid | guest6980 | 13:39 |

| Idlehead | guest6980, open the gconf-editor | 13:39 |
| billy2007 | Idlehead, i never knew that thanks 4 the info :) | 13:39 |
| Slart | billy2007: I'm reading about it now.. never seen it before.. thanks | 13:39 |
| tachiro1 | i'm using karmic btw .. and i'm just wondering where this stand on a scale of 1-10 as far as lean'ness | 13:40 |
| guest6980 | Idlehead, yesm and then? | 13:40 |
| Idlehead | guest6980, then navigate to apps > metacity > general | 13:40 |
| tachiro1 | distrowatch <googling> | 13:40 |
| Idlehead | guest6980, look for the entry "button_layout" | 13:40 |
| billy2007 | Slart i just came across it one night and liked the layout and look of it | 13:40 |
| ubutom3 | I think i'll give moblin a try :) | 13:40 |
| guest6980 | Idlehead, ok, im there | 13:40 |
| Basttrax | Hey all | 13:40 |
| Idlehead | guest6980, if you want the oldschool button layout use ":minimize,maximize,close" | 13:41 |
| guest6980 | ok | 13:41 |
| guest6980 | Idlehead, thank you very much | 13:42 |
| Idlehead | guest6980, you can also use this little python script to switch the buttons: http://pastebin.com/HmiDQeHy | 13:42 |
| tachiro1 | oh gawd, i just clicked the drop down menu at that site, ("select distribution") | 13:42 |
| Slart | Idlehead,guest6980: #ubuntu+1 for lucid discussion and support, please | 13:42 |
| Idlehead | it allows for customisation as well | 13:42 |
| tachiro1 | what in the F | 13:42 |
| Idlehead | Slart, if he's here and asks and i'm here and i can help, why should we switch channels | 13:42 |
| Slart | Idlehead: because someone decided that this channel is for released versions and ubuntu+1 for upcoming.. | 13:43 |
| Slart | Idlehead: just channel policy | 13:43 |

| Idlehead | tobi_, does it work now? | 13:46 |
| tobi_ | yes | 13:46 |
| Idlehead | tobi_, then never mind :P | 13:46 |
| tobi_ | no I don't want it in future | 13:46 |
| Slart | tobi_: you can check the logs.. /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log might be a good start | 13:47 |
| Idlehead | tobi_, I don't know much about X, but doesn't it generate some logs? | 13:47 |
| Idlehead | oh, slart was faster | 13:47 |
| moetunes | or dmesg | 13:48 |

| Devil_Wang | hi all | 13:49 |
| Devil_Wang | one of my question is | 13:49 |
| Devil_Wang | whether , C++ code could be found in kernel. | 13:49 |
| Devil_Wang | i am curios about that . | 13:49 |
| Devil_Wang | whether c++ code could be found in kernel | 13:49 |

| Devil_Wang | anyone could tell me? | 13:49 |
| Commander_Keen | how do i remove DRM protection on vmw files? | 13:50 |
| bcj | tobi_: ...and, no, iE is the cause for most of the badly coded pages on the web. | 13:50 |
| theadmin | Devil_Wang: Kernel, as far as I'm aware, is mostly written in C | 13:50 |
| bcj | tobi_: There's no way you can say that's a good thng. | 13:50 |
| tobi_ | bcj wan't all that serious :) | 13:50 |
| Slart | Devil_Wang: I think it's mainly in C.. but I doubt it's *only* C | 13:50 |
| bcj | tobi_: ? | 13:51 |
| bcj | tobi_: You're not making sense. | 13:51 |
| tobi_ | bcj I dispise the simplicity of epiphany, because it lacks common features | 13:51 |
| Idlehead | bcj, the engine itself is not that bad, but epiphany is like firefox 0.5 imho | 13:51 |
| Slart | Devil_Wang: there might be better channels to ask this.. isn't there a ubuntu-kernel channel? | 13:51 |

| tobi_ | bcj a lot of small things I do not remember atm | 13:53 |

| comfy | hi, everyone. I reinstalled firefox and restarted the system, but when I tried to start firefox, a window pops up and says "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." | 13:58 |
| Basttrax | ubutom3, Woohoo! | 13:58 |
| comfy | I tried to start it from terminal and the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." | 13:58 |
| ubutom3 | Basttrax, searched for that a while some time ago :) | 13:59 |
| Slart | comfy: try running this in a terminal "pkill -9 firefox" | 13:59 |
| Slart | comfy: then try again | 13:59 |
| Idlehead | comfy or just "killall firefox" | 13:59 |

| comfy | and I tried pkill-9 firefox, and nothing | 14:01 |
| Slart | sixtila: you can set a compiz shortcut to change desktops.. see !ccsm | 14:01 |
| Idlehead | sixtila, doesn't shift+ctrl+pgup/down work? | 14:01 |
| mamous | but when I check the proxy settings it is open | 14:01 |
| mamous | how come | 14:01 |
| mamous | ? | 14:01 |
| bcj | comfy: That means Firefox isn't running :) | 14:01 |
| mamous | what to do | 14:01 |
| FloodBot2 | mamous: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:01 |
| comfy | but when I start firefox, it says "GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times" | 14:01 |
| purplebluesilver | comfy I forgot how but what you need to to find the process number. Soemtimes you have to do that. | 14:01 |
| theadmin | mamous: Maybe it is closed for this specific application? | 14:01 |
| sixtila | idlehead it doesnt | 14:01 |
| comfy | hmm..., so reinstall? | 14:01 |
| theadmin | comfy: It's normal, same here | 14:01 |
| mamous | no man it is not closed I open it in my router | 14:02 |
| purplebluesilver | comfy list processes | 14:02 |
| purplebluesilver | comfy it left something behind | 14:02 |
| mamous | but it is open when I check the proxy setting in the transmission settings | 14:02 |
| comfy | how can I list process? | 14:02 |
| mamous | like the port is closed when the proxy settings is unchecked | 14:02 |
| theadmin | comfy: Install htop for something like Windows taskmanager by the way | 14:02 |
| Slart | comfy: ps aux in a terminal.. or use the system monitor | 14:02 |
| mamous | and it is open wen the proxy settings in the transmission is checked | 14:03 |
| Idlehead | sixtila, what happens if you press the shortcut? | 14:03 |
| Idlehead | sixtila, does anything else happen? | 14:03 |
| mamous | what to do ? | 14:03 |
| spice | ciao | 14:03 |
| comfy | i listed the process in my terminal, but it's really long | 14:03 |
| rsista | Wireless question in 10.04 : The WPA password is not being saved. I had to enter it everytime I login to the desktop.How to save Wireless password so as to not enter it everytime I reboot the computer in Ubuntu 10.04? Anyone? | 14:03 |
| sixtila | idlehead it ctrl+shft+pgup takes me up, in the same terminal | 14:04 |
| theadmin | comfy: you can do "ps aux | less" for it to become scrollable | 14:04 |
| purplebluesilver | comfy I googled it and got this -- The ps command displays all of the existing processes. This command is also directly linked to issues with stopped processes (also known as "stopped jobs"). | 14:04 |
| purplebluesilver | Occasionally, you may see the message There are Stopped Jobs. | 14:04 |
| purplebluesilver | If you log off the system without properly stopping your jobs, some jobs/processes may remain in memory tying up the system and drawing unnecessary processing bandwidth. | 14:04 |
| purplebluesilver | Type ps and hit enter. This will list all of your current processes running, or stopped. | 14:04 |
| FloodBot2 | purplebluesilver: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:04 |

| ubutom3 | comfy, try ps aux | grep firefox | 14:08 |
| Basttrax | comfy, why are you re-installing firefox to begin with? | 14:08 |
| homovitruvius | anything for helping me sorting and organizing a big bunch of pdf, video lectures, e-books? Thx. | 14:08 |
| Idlehead | Basttrax, because reinstalling solves everything...under windows that is ;) | 14:08 |
| Basttrax | lol | 14:08 |
| ubutom3 | reboot and reinstall *g* | 14:09 |
| Idlehead | and reinstall your distro while you're at it ;) | 14:09 |
| comfy | restored my bookmarks, but then bookmark-organizing library is empty, even though the drop down menu shows bookmarks | 14:09 |
| comfy | so I tried to delete ******.defaults files in firefox profile folder | 14:10 |
| comfy | the folder is something like ~/.mozilla/firefox (found info online) | 14:10 |
| Idlehead | comfy, i ran into this problem on my girlfriends computer (windows) but i forgot how i solved it. all i know i was getting very angry at firefox... | 14:10 |
| ubutom3 | xxxx.default is your profile | 14:10 |
| Idlehead | damn...i'm hungry... gotta grab something. idle now | 14:11 |
| comfy | yeah, it was suggested on some pages that several bookmark issues are related to the profile | 14:11 |
| comfy | so I tried to delete that | 14:11 |
| * Idlehead goes into the wilderness to hunt down sliced bread | 14:11 | |
| Basttrax | Ah | 14:11 |
| Basttrax | Yeah things get a bit mess in Firefox when working with profiles :( | 14:12 |
| comfy | then for some reason, i thought it would be good to complete remove and reinstall firefox at that point :( | 14:12 |
| Basttrax | Are you doing it through the Ubuntu Software Manager? Or from the site? | 14:12 |
| ubutom3 | removing firefox wont remove your profile | 14:12 |
| Vigo | comfy: Did you backup any data or anything or do you ever? | 14:12 |
| === ubuntu is now known as justsomeguy | ||
| comfy | ubutom3: yeah, that i figured out from trial and error :P | 14:13 |
| comfy | hmm I only backup bookmarks with Xmarks | 14:13 |
| ubutom3 | comfy, yeah, the profile resides in .mozilla/firefox or so | 14:13 |
| Basttrax | comfy, Ubuntu is a pretty quick install. Maybe start from scratch?... | 14:13 |
| dorkface | Hi all. Does anyone have any recommended documentation on how to prepare an ubuntu system to switch from a nvidia card to an ati/amd card? | 14:14 |
| comfy | yikes @@~ | 14:14 |
| comfy | I might consider giving up on firefox for good, and finally try chrome. This is actually the second time | 14:14 |
| ubutom3 | comfy, I copied my firefox profile from windows to linux and the other way around, I just put it in the profile folder and changed the file profile.ini or whats it called | 14:14 |
| comfy | that it's happenedn, I don't remember what I did last time though | 14:15 |
| Vigo | dorkface: Purge and configure or backup critical data and install fresh, I guess. | 14:15 |
| Basttrax | comfy, You'll come back from Chrome. Everyone always does :) | 14:15 |
| ubutom3 | comfy, sometimes the problems start with wrong permissions on the profile | 14:15 |
| ubutom3 | at least it was like that in my case when i copied the profile from windows :) | 14:16 |
| comfy | Basttrax: :D | 14:16 |
| Basttrax | dorkface, Yeah. Backup everything, switch cards and restart. If you can install the drivers afterbootup with new card thats great. If not, reinstall Ubuntu | 14:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | comfy: chromium | 14:16 |
| Vigo | I kinda like Chrome, is zippy , sorta. | 14:16 |
| dorkface | Basttrax: Sheesh, that's kinda brutal :/ | 14:16 |
| synapse | Any reason why my microphone sound never works? I've tried reading most of the forums, etc.. all other sound works fine from the motherboard | 14:16 |
| dorkface | heh | 14:17 |
| comfy | Hmm... ok, I'll try what I can and if all fails, I'll probably try to reinstall ubuntu :(:( Though, it's seems kind of drastic to reinstall ubuntu because of glitch in firefox | 14:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | comfy: chromium + dolce gabbana skin are unbeatable ;) | 14:17 |
| Basttrax | dorkface, lol yeah. There's not much you can do. Honestly though I think you'll be alright after re-install. I think the bootup will detect the new card. | 14:17 |
| comfy | I fell like I should break something else first :( | 14:17 |
| ubutom3 | dorkface, had no problem with switching gfx-card in the past, be sure to uninstall nvidia driver if installed manually | 14:17 |
| Vigo | dorkface: That is safest way I know of and less hassles from a goofy system setup. | 14:18 |
| comfy | brontosaurusrex: no time better to try chromium than when ff is broken :) | 14:18 |
| Basttrax | comfy, aww. Google "How to completely uninstall firefox from ubuntu" if thats the case | 14:18 |
| Basttrax | comfy, but a reinstall might be faster in the long run | 14:18 |
| comfy | Basttrax: thanks :) | 14:18 |
| ubutom3 | dorkface, in general ubuntu starts on pretty much everything, switched here from an old intel to an amd with totally different mainboard, etc :) gfx card doesnt have to be a problem imo | 14:19 |
| purplebluesilver | I want to mount the floppy drive. what must I install to do this? | 14:19 |
| Idlehead | purplebluesilver, what is a floppy drive? (just kidding) | 14:19 |
| Vigo | !mount | purplebluesilver | 14:20 |
| ubottu | purplebluesilver: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 14:20 |
| Vigo | wait | 14:20 |
| ubutom3 | purplebluesilver, insert a disk and right click on floppy in nautilis and select mount? | 14:20 |
| synapse | wtf | 14:20 |
| comfy | Thanks everyone, I was a little afraid to post my questions, but you're all very friendly and helpful :) | 14:20 |
| synapse | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 14:20 |
| Basttrax | comfy, The ubuntu crowd is usually a good one ;) | 14:20 |
| comfy | :) | 14:21 |
| Basttrax | comfy, I wish we had a better answer for you though | 14:21 |
| purplebluesilver | when I do that it tell me mount special device /dev/sdc does not exist | 14:21 |
| synapse | synapse@darkside:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec | 14:21 |
| synapse | Codec: VIA ID 441 | 14:21 |
| synapse | Is VIA a sound card manufacturer? | 14:21 |
| ubutom3 | purplebluesilver, there is a floppy int he drive? | 14:21 |
| Basttrax | synapse, They are. CPU's too. | 14:21 |
| comfy | That was plenty helpful, really, it's more frustrating googling for the answer | 14:21 |
| purplebluesilver | I put one in but it might not be formatted ubutom3 | 14:21 |
| Slart | synapse: I'm not sure they make sound cards.. but they make all kinds of chips that handles sound | 14:22 |
| Basttrax | synapse, onboard stuff mostly | 14:22 |
| synapse | so Im reading this howto to apparently work around a bug tha ubuntu has | 14:22 |

| billy2007 | hey guys i know i should be on ubuntu+1 but there useless im on mobile broadband and going to upgrade to 10.04 will it download then install or do it all at once because i dont want to disonnect from inet half way through | 14:22 |
| synapse | something like this in options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N model=VIA alsa-base.conf? | 14:23 |
| ubutom3 | purplebluesilver, ok, i just inserted a floppy in my laptop :) now i can mount it under places | 14:23 |
| Basttrax | Installed it while the computer was running...? | 14:23 |
| Vigo | billy2007: Yes, try #ubuntu+1 and or look at Launchpad. | 14:23 |
| bazhang | billy2007, lucid in #ubuntu+1 not here | 14:24 |
| DDAZZA | Will this system be compatible with Ubuntu (http://www.cclonline.com/system-info.asp?product_id=34698) | 14:24 |
| purplebluesilver | ubutom3, yes, but mine doesnt show. Does that mean it is unformatted. Oh wait I'll try another disk. | 14:24 |
| billy2007 | bazhang, there useless dont even attepmt to answer questions | 14:24 |
| bazhang | billy2007, still the proper channel, be patient | 14:24 |

| stronze | okay here is the issue. i installed 9.10 and we haft to use a USB wireless booster to reach our wireless.now we try to connect his computer to the wireless network BUT it cant connect.it tries then gives up and we cant figure out why it does this.tried WICD but it cant find the network at all even if we are 5 feet from transmitter. there is no wire internet here. | 14:26 |
| synapse | What the hell do I use for Codec: VIA ID 441 as the model? its not listed in alsa | 14:26 |
| synapse | its an asus motherboard | 14:26 |
| synapse | sabertooth 55i | 14:27 |
| Basttrax | stronze, Are you sure it's compatible with Ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| stronze | everything runs fine except it jsut wont connect | 14:27 |
| Basttrax | Wireless usb sometimes gets a bit pissy with linux | 14:27 |
| Basttrax | Can you try any other networks? | 14:27 |
| purplebluesilver | ubutom3, I tried 2 others that should contain data. same story. I'm going to give this one u and go do this project on a windows machine. All I want to do is get a report on this failed windows installation with "Belarc Advisor" and get the OEM number for it. I'll leave it for another day. Another computer. Thanks for trying | 14:27 |
| Basttrax | stronze, The first thing to do is figure out if it's just that network it cant connect with, or all of them. | 14:28 |
| stronze | basttrax - it only detects the one network.his built in wireless isnt that strong compaired to mine.i detect several | 14:28 |
| Basttrax | stronze, hmm | 14:28 |
| Vigo | That is a hrmmm | 14:28 |
| britany_okla | using ubuntu but i am having connection issues on other servers with konversation | 14:28 |
| Basttrax | stronze, Whats the model number of the wireless booster? | 14:29 |
| purplebluesilver | synapse there is a program that allows you to use a windows driver for a wireless thingy | 14:29 |
| klej | a | 14:29 |
| synapse | what? this is an onboard soundcard problem | 14:29 |
| stronze | basttrax - g sky link gs-27usb | 14:30 |
| stronze | basttrax - i didnt even think to see if booster is the issue | 14:30 |

| theadmin | cap: Bitte, machen sie "/join #ubuntu-de" | 14:34 |
| bazhang | Traveler0, windows? another version of linux? which OS | 14:34 |
| Slart | aar: sure.. something like sed 's/X.*Y/XY/' should work | 14:34 |
| maquetero-ppc | C'mon man I'm trying to learn a little english!! :) je | 14:35 |
| Traveler0 | bazhang its for kubuntu but i want to try mac os x too :) | 14:35 |
| Basttrax | stronze, Just googled the booster and linux. didn't see any issues, or much of anything on it really | 14:35 |
| The_Explorer | IS there a GUI that let me manage startup options easier? Like, i would rather boot to bash than have X start auto. | 14:35 |
| stronze | basttrax - is there a way i can download the latest updates for him and usb it to him? | 14:35 |
| aar | Slart, thanks I'll try that | 14:35 |
| bazhang | Traveler0, only apple for that, not supported here nor on freenode; you can use unetbootin to get ubuntu from windows if you wish though unetbootin.sourceforge.net | 14:35 |
| stronze | basttrax - odd, its working now | 14:36 |
| maquetero-ppc | Traveler0: I have Os x leopard in my macbook I prefer Gnu/linux | 14:36 |
| Basttrax | stronze, Yay! | 14:36 |
| theadmin | The_Explorer: No. If you want to boot into a console, do "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.DISABLED" | 14:36 |
| Traveler0 | maquetero-ppc on ppc??? non there isnt flash! you cant watch flash on ppc with flash 9 but i stil :) | 14:37 |
| stronze | basttrax - lol, all that googling and it fixes itself.i think it was making fun of me | 14:37 |
| theadmin | There is a "gdm" file in /etc/init.d though, unsure whether this will work because of that one. | 14:37 |
| The_Explorer | theadmin: So, if i do that, I boot to bash and i can /startx to get into X | 14:37 |
| Basttrax | stronze, Gotta love computers | 14:37 |
| theadmin | The_Explorer: Yes. | 14:38 |
| The_Explorer | theadmin: Thankyou | 14:38 |
| britany_okla | is there an irc support channel | 14:38 |

| britany_okla | Is there an IRC support channel for Konversation | 14:39 |
| maquetero-ppc | Traveler0: this one is running ubuntu | 14:39 |

| napoleao | then it did detect the second monitor | 14:51 |
| Slart | hdon: have you tried lua5.1 ? | 14:52 |
| Slart | !info lua5.1 | 14:52 |
| Basttrax | is "Show displays in panel" checked in the display settings | 14:52 |
| Traveler0 | bazhang i am too lazy too boot from cd | 14:52 |
| ubottu | lua5.1 (source: lua5.1): Simple, extensible, embeddable programming language. In component main, is optional. Version 5.1.4-3 (karmic), package size 139 kB, installed size 344 kB | 14:52 |
| bazhang | Traveler0, not my question, unetbootin is software to create a usb bootable flash key; you stated it does not work, for which OS? | 14:53 |
| napoleao | yes | 14:53 |
| Basttrax | napoleao, uncheck that | 14:53 |
| Basttrax | lol | 14:53 |
| Vigo | I am using eth2? Why is that? | 14:53 |
| napoleao | already tried that | 14:53 |
| napoleao | same thing hehe | 14:53 |
| Slart | hdon: there's also liblua5.1-0 and liblua50-dev | 14:53 |
| Basttrax | unchecked it, then a restart? | 14:54 |
| cratel | never had problems with firestarter and internet connection sharing before. Today it isn't working. I have dhclient server/client setup. The connected computer finds an IP no problem, can ping the host, but cannot find the internet. ? | 14:54 |
| Basttrax | I checked it and it came up on mine | 14:54 |
| hdon | Slart, i'm aware. but for 5.1 i can't find a package that provides liblualib.a or liblualib.so | 14:54 |
| crs | Hi there chaps. I am having wireless connection problems with my AR2413 using ath5k and networkmanager ubuntu 9.10. Network works very well until some point then it stops working. Network manager claims it is still connected. While I disconnect it manualy it won't be possible to connect again before reboot. It will ask for wpa key few times but nothing will connect. On the other laptop (next to not working | 14:55 |
| crs | one) it works perfectly all the tim (running 9.10 as well but with different network card). I have tried to use madfiwi and wicd instead but I couldn't find any networks at all. Is there a known solution? It is being extremely annoying and makes laptop unusable. Please if anyone had the same problem to speak up. I have tried to google but found only exactly the same problem posted on forums by other people | 14:55 |
| crs | but no solution were given. | 14:55 |
| FloodBot2 | crs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:55 |
| crs | Oh dear, didnt know it is gonna be that long. Sorry. :) | 14:55 |
| Slart | Vigo: since ubuntu remembers previous network interfaces.. the info is save in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 14:55 |
| napoleao | ok, Bastrax will try to restart, have not done that yet ;) | 14:55 |
| stein1 | is mount.cifs missing from ubuntu 9.10 live CD? In other words, can it mount CIFS shares? | 14:55 |

| Basttrax | WishingMaster, Yeah I would head over there | 15:09 |
| Basttrax | WishingMaster, They sometimes take a bit longer to respond, but are better with stuff like that | 15:09 |
| WishingMaster | Basttrax, a lot of people are facing this issue , have you upgraded to lucid yet? | 15:10 |
| borja_ | hi man | 15:10 |
| tripelb | Dear #ubuntu -- this was my answer to the question about my user friend with centos, bad flash, telling me it cant be done or go to centos. (I'm learning.) OK HERE IT IS. GOOGLE convert swf to avi linux ((I didnt know the term swf before I asked the QUESTION) | 15:10 |
| tripelb | and lucky for me someone said I think he means swf so I looked it up. | 15:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | tripelb: swf to avi? how can you convert something nonlinear/interactive to linear avi? | 15:12 |
| underdev | is there a way to set theme information via a shell script? | 15:12 |
| underdev | if so, can someone point me in the general direction? I don't think i need my hand held, i just don't know where to start... | 15:12 |
| WishingMaster | Basttrax, usb-modeswitch this is what i think is needed to solve the issue, what do you think? | 15:13 |
| tripelb | brontosaurusrex, you save the file. | 15:13 |
| underdev | I would like to configure toolbar placement, panels in the toolbars, etc | 15:13 |
| brontosaurusrex | tripelb: ? | 15:13 |
| hdon | underdev, i think gnome has something like the MSWindows Registry that contains that info... maybe | 15:13 |
| Basttrax | WishingMaster, Yeah i would give it a try. I don't see any definate answers in google | 15:13 |
| underdev | hdon, ty | 15:14 |
| Basttrax | WishingMaster, Since it's more recent, i don't think there's a proper fix yet ;( sorry | 15:14 |
| underdev | yeah, i should have specified gnome desktop... | 15:14 |
| yiyimar | hello | 15:14 |
| tripelb | brontosaurusrex, this one is probably windows but the idea is the same. E.M. Magic Swf2Avi is the extremely powerful Flash(swf) converter | 15:14 |
| tripelb | software | 15:14 |
| tripelb | which can convert SWF to AVI and other popular formats. This | 15:14 |
| tripelb | software is designed to convert swf for your mobile video player as | 15:14 |
| tripelb | avi, 3gp, mp4, mp3, PSP, PS3, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, XBOX 360, PS3, | 15:14 |
| FloodBot2 | tripelb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:14 |
| tripelb | Zune etc and also CD, VCD, DVD or Blu-ray player. | 15:14 |
| yiyimar | ola | 15:14 |
| yiyimar | k aem | 15:14 |
| Random832 | how do i make flash work consistently with pulseaudio? I've had deadlocks, crashes, and sound just not working | 15:15 |
| tripelb | sorry bot | 15:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | has 10.4lts server been released yet? | 15:15 |
| Basttrax | Cant wait for HTML5 to take over :S | 15:15 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, no | 15:15 |
| dagny_taggart | Random832: same here, i uninstalled pulseaudio but it's still inconsistent | 15:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bazhang, hmmm, do you know when the server version will be released considering the desktop has been released as beta | 15:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | tripelb: again, swf is usually an interactive thingy, when all this are video formats, so you can't just convert that...., no matter what converters will trying to promis | 15:16 |
| tripelb | swf to avi linux http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CBgQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.lockergnome.com%2Flinux%2Fconvert-swf-AVCHD-3GP-AVI-iPhone-iPod-Mpeg--ftopict505846.html&ei=l023S4v6HIiyswPMjenoDA&usg=AFQjCNGhbRW-moGlCgk5yOoYy1WJg-NslQ&sig2=ZN_CwIpNB9DFzQcS34WtFA | 15:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | +e | 15:16 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, you mean the beta? | 15:16 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, #ubuntu+1 yes server and other flavors as well | 15:17 |
| tripelb | brontosaurusrex, ok will check in on this later on. thanks | 15:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bazhang, yeah, I can't find the link for the server version | 15:17 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, check the topic in #ubuntu+1 please the channel for lucid support and discussion | 15:17 |

| roadapathy | ARRGHHH. Anybody with ATI HD3200 trying to recompile the kernel??? | 16:06 |
| Relyt | menu.lst is in /boot if you have grub1 | 16:06 |
| Relyt | grub2 doesn't use menu.lst | 16:06 |
| larrylamsy | I could not find any it my /boot. | 16:06 |
| qazibasit | actually i am jealous to bill gates and hence dont want to use windows | 16:06 |
| qazibasit | :))))) | 16:06 |
| roadapathy | Actually, all I really want right now is a boot MENU...I want to be able to SELECT my stupid Kernels when I boot. Why does it force just the 1 kernel? | 16:07 |
| Relyt | Do you have GRUB? | 16:07 |
| qazibasit | u have to edit the script | 16:07 |
| qazibasit | yes in GRUB | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | Relyt, usually Direct rendering is automatic if your graphics card driver is capable | 16:07 |
| roadapathy | larrylamsy: Ubuntu 9.10? It doesn't have a menu.lst. | 16:07 |
| larrylamsy | Yes , I have GRUB located in my /boot. But there is no menu.lst. | 16:08 |
| dgm | hi. is there anyway to convert an .mp4 file to an .avi? thx | 16:08 |
| Relyt | I have an NVidia Geforce FX 5200 that says the driver and the card is capable of DR, but it says it's not enabled.. | 16:08 |
| roadapathy | SPEAKING OF GRUB/GRUB2. How can I get the menu back? I like the old style menu where it lets me choose from a list of Kernels! :-( | 16:08 |
| qazibasit | update the driver | 16:08 |
| tsyj2007 | roadapathy: yes,it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:08 |
| shevy | i am using some ubuntu ... kernel 2.6.31 and using grub 1.97-beta4 - i don't find the grub menu.lst though. Does it have another name on Ubuntu, or is there some other file that lists the available kernels? I am asking because i just finished compiling a custom kernel | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | Relyt, run glxinfo | grep direct | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | roadapathy: just set it not autohide the menu in the /etc/default/grub file | 16:08 |

| cousteau | maybe a script on /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ | 16:18 |
| whallalla | any idea guys? | 16:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, I am just about certain that xorg.conf takes care of that, however, you might want to get a second opinion on that | 16:19 |
| cousteau | isn't xorg.conf empty since Hardy or so? (except for Nvidia cards) | 16:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | whallalla, if you lost windows just fix grub, reinstall it or manually edit it | 16:20 |
| === warriorforgod is now known as Guest75219 | ||
| cousteau | (ok, it's not empty, it simply doesn't exist) | 16:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | whallalla, what do you mean you lost it, when you reboot doesn't grub give an option to boot into windows? the weird screen with he count down and options | 16:21 |
| shevy | update-grub helped, the new kernel was automagically recognized and added :) | 16:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, yeah forgot about that due to many comps working without xorg.conf they left it out but you can make it yourself | 16:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, of course that good news for top end pcs but lower end pcs don't have such luck I had to make mine but than I did have a back up of it | 16:22 |
| cousteau | well, this is just a single line command: xinput set-int-prop 'SynPS-2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'Synaptics Edge Scrolling' 8 1 1 0 | 16:24 |
| cousteau | but afaik it works well on ubuntu by default, it doesn't on lubuntu, that's why I want to know how does Ubuntu make it work by deault | 16:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, lubuntu? | 16:25 |
| cousteau | yes, an LXDE-based version | 16:26 |
| cousteau | I tried ubuntu netbook on my netbook, but it uses too many opengl things and doesn't work very well | 16:26 |
| maquetero-ppc | mini- | 16:27 |
| cousteau | (also, karmic takes a lot to boot, so I installed lubuntu lucid) | 16:27 |
| maquetero-ppc | just to install what you want | 16:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, just redo your xorg with all options that should get everything working like it should and pop that option in their as well otherwise it might complain or mess up things which you might have to edit in rescue mode | 16:27 |
| maquetero-ppc | cousteau: I did it in my imac and is awesome | 16:28 |
| cousteau | maquetero-ppc: did what? | 16:28 |
| Milp_main | Does ubuntu support yaffs2? | 16:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | well i'll be off in a sec to reformat this comp and add a new hd | 16:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | quick a question I can answer? | 16:32 |
| Milp_main | Does ubuntu support yaffs2? | 16:32 |
| Milp_main | :) theres a question for you :D | 16:32 |
| maquetero-ppc | install exactly what you want in those machines(netbook). maybe ubuntu run a lot things you won't use. and of course you can costumize all system for a fast init | 16:33 |
| magicvibes | i <3 ubuntu and all the #ubuntu help :D | 16:33 |
| cousteau | Milp_main: a quick search on ubuntu packages doesn't show any package name or description containing yaffs | 16:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maquetero-ppc, apparently so but I aint certain since I never used that but this link makes it seem so - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/cd8731bd3c512688?pli=1 | 16:34 |
| hdon | magicvibes, mouselook is broken and alt+tab is broken on some systems on ubuntu. yeah, rock on. :\ | 16:34 |

| DustyStyx | cousteau: maybe, but I'm using the ping command: ping www.yahoo.com and it resolves an IP just fine. | 16:37 |
| cousteau | oh | 16:37 |
| cousteau | try to use the ip instead of the domain name, just in case... | 16:37 |

| mossy | That was my fault. | 16:59 |
| * mossy is sorry | 17:00 | |
| ardchoille | mossy: no worries | 17:00 |
| mossy | \o/ | 17:00 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: What version? | 17:00 |
| mossy | I guess I'll scoot on over there then | 17:00 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: 9.10 | 17:00 |
| dagny_taggart | Wilabob: do you have enough disk space on /target/ ? | 17:01 |
| rogue780 | Hello! I'm trying to get urbanterror running, but when I run it my mouse sticks to the bottom right. I can start moving it but then it keeps jumping back to the bottom right. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 17:01 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Is it standalone , or are there other OSs on the box? | 17:01 |
| Vigo | rogue780: Is that a deb package or is it a Wine something? | 17:04 |
| rogue780 | Vigo, no. It's just a linux binary from urbanterror.net | 17:04 |
| paul3333 | hi...ubuntu won't keep logged in new users I add from my super-user, anyone have a clue? | 17:05 |
| Vigo | rogue780: Do you have the Alien installed? | 17:05 |
| kltrg | Hi. My Epson Stylus SX410 printer/scanner is not recognized as a scanner, neither by xsane nor by gscan2pdf. It is, however, listed as a supported device on sane-project.org which seems to be the underlying backend for scanners in linux (am I right?). What could be the problem? Do I have an outdated sane version on my Ubuntu 09.10? | 17:05 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: sorry was afk... It's a standalone and the hard drive has 160GB so I think thats enough | 17:06 |
| ardchoille | !alien| Vigo rogue780 | 17:06 |
| ubottu | Vigo rogue780: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 17:06 |
| jmcantrell | ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? | 17:06 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: And I've installed on this machine a bunch of times before so I don't know why it's doing this | 17:06 |
| rogue780 | ardchoille, uh, was not using RPM files... | 17:06 |
| ardchoille | rogue780: just wanted you to know since Vigo asked if you had it installed | 17:07 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Yes, I was also looking at dagny_taggarts reply, let me look up some data... | 17:07 |
| rogue780 | oh, my bad. no I do not have alien installed. | 17:07 |
| flyingtabmow | anyone know how to load a modmap file at login? (unfortunately can't use .Xmodmap or similar, has to be via a script... the loading is conditional) | 17:08 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Grub error? you suppose or ,hrmmm | 17:08 |
| cousteau | flyingtabmow: I put a script on /etc/X11/Xsession.d for something similar | 17:09 |
| jrib | flyingtabmow: see xmodmap's man page for syntax: xmodmap FILE | 17:09 |
| cousteau | you can also add it to Startup Apps | 17:09 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: I don't know... It just started doing this recently. | 17:09 |
| zero-cool | hello did anybody was install ubuntu from external hard drive? | 17:09 |
| flyingtabmow | cousteau: i've tried that, but it seems to get clobbered... it doesn't stick around | 17:09 |
| Vigo | rogue780: Alien can be a few things, binaries and such may need a package from the repository to work correctly. | 17:10 |
| flyingtabmow | cousteau: or did you put it after 99x11-common-start? | 17:10 |
| Noble | What is the default filesystem on / on a 9.10 install? | 17:10 |
| zero-cool | i was taking unetbootin but when process done i reboot and boot they told me no operanting sistem | 17:10 |
| cousteau | flyingtabmow: actually, I put it on 50 or so | 17:10 |
| erUSUL | Noble: ext4 | 17:11 |
| Roasted | hey - is there any way to netsend a windows box a message from ubuntu? | 17:11 |
| Noble | erUSUL: ty | 17:11 |
| cousteau | are you using an absolute path for the file? | 17:11 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Welcome to Freedom! It is a bit of a learning curve, or forgetting curve, I am still looking that data up, i386 or 64bit? | 17:11 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: i386 | 17:12 |
| sine_ | how do i search a file i need to fine gdm.conf gdm keeps freezing on my and i have to restart it so i want to enable debug | 17:12 |
| rogue780 | Vigo, I think it's an X configuration problem. I remember fixing this before by editing xorg.conf...but with the new ubuntu versions, there is no more xorg.conf really | 17:12 |
| flyingtabmow | cousteau: hmmm... something must be odd about my gnome setup, when it's low numbered like that it doesn't stick around (i've also tried adding it to startup applications, which many people online suggest, but that doesn't seem to work for me either, even though i know it's being run) | 17:12 |
| jrib | sine_: should be in /etc/ | 17:12 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| cousteau | flyingtabmow: are you using an absolute path for the file? because if you're using `xmodmap file` or `xmodmap ~/file` it will probably not work | 17:12 |
| Hekos_ | nbr 10.4, any way to unlock the panel ? | 17:12 |
| iceroot | Hekos_: #ubuntu+1 | 17:12 |
| sine_ | ok of course that is where all the config files are stored. just out of curiosety how do i search for a file | 17:12 |
| flyingtabmow | cousteau: i've tried it both ways... it seems to run successfully, but then afterwards something else loads a different one i'm guessing | 17:13 |
| Hekos_ | iceroot, k | 17:13 |
| jrib | sine_: use « locate » or « find » | 17:13 |
| sine_ | thanks | 17:13 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: Actually, I think when I installed I used the 9.04 disk then updated :S | 17:13 |
| cousteau | flyingtabmow: or add something like `bash -c 'sleep 10 && xmodmap FILE'` to your startup apps | 17:14 |
| cousteau | (without the backticks) | 17:14 |
| flyingtabmow | cousteau: cool i'll try that, thanks | 17:14 |
| zero-cool | mneptok: | 17:14 |
| Enkk | Hello everyone from a new ubunter! :) | 17:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | realised I can't format my comp yet well that was awkward | 17:15 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Ahh, that helps, a little, still looking,,, | 17:15 |
| jmcantrell | ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? | 17:15 |
| Enkk | could i ask something? :D | 17:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Enkk, please do otherwise this channel is pointless | 17:16 |
| sine_ | what is the config file for gdm | 17:16 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: hey just FYI I was unsuccessful in recovering data with testdisk. It did recover the partitions though.. | 17:17 |
| sine_ | i cant seem to find one | 17:17 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Secondary HDD or a single unit? | 17:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, I see, was it because you repartitioned first or because the data had been overwritten? | 17:17 |
| ardchoille | sine_: What are you wanting to do? | 17:17 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: It has two HDD but I'm using the primary one | 17:17 |
| sine_ | i want to kno why gdm keeps freezing and i lost my work | 17:18 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: This might be it: > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1445095 | 17:18 |
| Enkk | so, i have a logitect webcam and i would like to found some drivers for it | 17:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, I am curious to know what went wrong | 17:18 |
| sine_ | someone suggested turning on debug mode so i can read whats happening | 17:18 |
| Enkk | but i don't know what version it is | 17:19 |
| Enkk | so, how can i discover it? | 17:19 |
| Maletor | What should I set the permissions to on /var/www/mydomain.com ??? | 17:19 |
| crankharder | after installing 9.10 server it can't find any boot medium -- I booted into rescue mode and there's nothing inside of /boot -- any ideas why that may be? | 17:19 |
| cousteau | Enkk: webcam drivers are usually not needed | 17:19 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: I think it was because I repartitioned. I think it may have worked if I had just deleted the partition and not written over it with a new one. test # 2 I guess :) | 17:19 |
| ardchoille | Maletor: I suggest leaving them as they are so the server can do what it needs to do | 17:19 |
| === No12Day is now known as No13Day | ||
| cousteau | just open cheese and try to see if it works | 17:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Maletor, give permission to www-data and yourself | 17:19 |
| Maletor | Ok. | 17:20 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: Nah, didn't help | 17:20 |
| Enkk | cousteau, is not that easy, i already tried but it doesn't work. It stays "on" for like 20 seconds, then the imagine turns black | 17:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, will wait for test 2, if you wouldn't mind could you write your results in the forum, I'll be able to read exactly what you did and how you did it | 17:20 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: I want to test it on a failed HDD, but i need to find one first. | 17:21 |
| cousteau | Enkk: maybe if you wait a bit... my cam looks black until it gets good light | 17:21 |
| DasEi | crankharder: maybe corrupt disk ? | 17:21 |
| DasEi | (installer medium) | 17:21 |
| switch10_ | Pirate_Hunter: yeah I will document the next test in a post | 17:21 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Are you upgrading or doing a fresh install over an older version? | 17:21 |
| jmcantrell | ubuntu one syncing working for anyone? | 17:22 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: Fresh install | 17:22 |
| Enkk | cousteau i waited for about 30 min :p | 17:22 |
| Enkk | and also, it doesn't work in emesene. | 17:22 |
| switch10_ | jmcantrell: yes. are you unable to connect? | 17:22 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: Well actually there was another ubuntu on it but I erased it and then installed this one | 17:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | switch10_, just make your hdd fail I bet you can find ways to do so online without actually breaking it, I know a while back I found one to test how many writes you can do on a usb before it completely fail lol, wonder if it cna be changed to hd instead but you may not be able to recover it afterwards :s | 17:22 |
| crankharder | DasEi: my ubuntu disk or the hard drive? | 17:22 |
| cousteau | webcams stopped working on MSN when they changed the protocol, I think | 17:23 |
| DasEi | crankharder: the cd, did you verify the d/l and the cd itself ? | 17:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | whats a decent 'home' icon, other than lil houses? | 17:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jmcantrell, no clue don't use it, yet | 17:23 |
| jmcantrell | switch10_: it connects, but nothing syncs. | 17:23 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Ok, that may matter, I am still reading a few Documents,,,, | 17:23 |
| Enkk | cousteau, so one one is able to use it? | 17:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, webcams work on empathy with msn, you might need to use the package from the ppa | 17:24 |
| switch10_ | jmcantrell: have you tried removing the config file? rm .config/ubuntuone | 17:24 |
| cousteau | Pirate_Hunter: dunno, the webcam support was dropped from aMSN since the protocol changed | 17:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | brontosaurusrex, home icon can be whatever you want even a head or a picture of yourself | 17:24 |
| jmcantrell | switch10_: i guess i can try that. | 17:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, oh amsn errrrh haven't touched that in a while I thought it wasn't being supported anymore | 17:25 |
| Enkk | well i know that emesene introduced the webcam only in lastest versions | 17:25 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: This is the Official Document on that:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation , about middle page is : Installing on external or RAID hard disks | 17:25 |
| layla | ..؟ | 17:26 |
| cousteau | Pirate_Hunter: it is, they released 0.98.3 a while ago... it even supported audio/video conversations on 0.98.1 before the protocols were changed | 17:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, just did a server install with raid and lvm I might be able to help, what is your problem? | 17:26 |
| cousteau | what isn't moving is that aMSN2 thing | 17:27 |
| Enkk | also emesene2 is going to be up | 17:27 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: I'm not doing a server install. The problem is that grub won't install | 17:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | cousteau, oh didn't know but what is wrong with using the app provided by ubuntu empathy is doing great with video support i've tested it, however, not recently | 17:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, stick with lilo for raid I still havent managed to get grub working, lilo is simple | 17:28 |
| cousteau | well, maybe they fixed it, but I think it might have also stopped working there | 17:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, and did you put boot in raid1 otherwise it wont boot the system which is a pain | 17:28 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: Can I do that without reinstalling? | 17:28 |
| thechef | If you have a PC running Linux, is it still a PC? | 17:29 |
| zubin71 | hello, anyone here worked on iptables? | 17:29 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: I don't know.. | 17:29 |
| cousteau | "Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP, Google Talk and MSN." - I thought aMSN was the only with voice support... | 17:29 |
| zubin71 | i`ll rephrase; anyone worked on any project related to iptables? | 17:29 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: I was running grub before but I needed to reinstall and now it's not working. | 17:29 |
| switch10_ | thechef: PC= personal computer. no matter what the apple commercials tell you... | 17:29 |
| DasEi | thechef: what else ?ß sure | 17:29 |
| Vigo | Pirate_Hunter: Wilabob stated earlier is rather new at Ubuntu. | 17:29 |
| Adhok | switch10: /agree | 17:30 |
| switch10_ | thechef: so yes. an apple is a personal computer as well... | 17:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, that I ain't too sure but if it is a clean install reinstalling shouldn't be a problem, however, you may want to wait for soemone who can help you fixing that without reinstallinh | 17:30 |
| frxstrem | is there an alternative to iTunes for Ubuntu that would let me sync my iPod touch to my computer? | 17:30 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: Alright... what guide do you want me to follow? How do you know I have a RAID HDD | 17:30 |
| cousteau | well, maybe I'm wrong and the protocol change only affects aMSN | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | !ipod | frxstrem | 17:30 |
| thechef | okay, then some game publishers and apple must be weird | 17:30 |
| ubottu | frxstrem: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 17:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Vigo, oh didnt read that | 17:31 |
| DasEi | !ipod | frxstrem | 17:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, you had grub running earlier with raid and it booted the system before you had to reinstall? | 17:31 |
| Vigo | Pirate_Hunter: It was stated earlier, all good. | 17:31 |

| === stefano_ is now known as _stefano | ||
| Pirate_Hunter | Vigo, that is what I was think but they said grub was working and I would assume just like the server version lilo would be chosen as the boot loader instead of grub | 17:33 |

| Lord_Chewbakka | Pirate_Hunter: currently on xcdroast, but it wont work, is brasero good? | 17:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, lets start from the start what exactly happened, what tutorial did you follow to install ubuntu on raid, since at the moment I am going in circles | 17:34 |
| switch10_ | frxstrem: it works great on a non jailboken ipod touch.. I have done many for friends. | 17:34 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Okee dokee, Large Volume Manager | 17:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Lord_Chewbakka, they are all good depending on what you mean by good, brasero don't work for me but gnome-baker does with the patch | 17:34 |

| brontosaurusrex | Pirate_Hunter: sure, i mean what could be used as a symbol really, found greek 'theta' | 17:36 |
| Wilabob | Vigo: I tried the alternate cd and the live cd. I used the live cd last. I followed the instructions and chose Guided - use entire disk. I also tried manual and made a seperate /boot partition but that didn't work either. The installation went through, got to 95% and then said configuring boot loader and restarted. | 17:36 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | Pirate_Hunter: thank maan | 17:37 |
| lydia | Hello, how can I deactivate network access for wine ? | 17:37 |

| jcp | Is there a way to instruct xdg-open to invoke vlc to open mms:// urls? Chrome is using xdg-open to open streaming ASF files, but Totem doesn't know how to understand them while VLC does. | 17:39 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | Pirate_Hunter: brasero worked like a charm! awsome! | 17:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, if the first time you chose full install and the second time you partitioned a section for boot it wont work I had the same issue had to literally wipe the disk to zero and clear mbr before redoing the process again | 17:40 |
| Vigo | Wilabob: Not really, just select Use Entire Disk, what Pirate_Hunter said is important also. | 17:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, for soem reason once raid is chosen you can't undo the partitions unless the disk is wiped I found that quite strange | 17:41 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: I never chose raid. So how do I wipe the mbr? | 17:41 |
| DasEi | Pirate_Hunter: soft raid ? you can edit the md device, but if you do other then resize, data gets lost same as in standard hd | 17:42 |
| coachj | can someone tell me how to disable the screen lockout? | 17:42 |
| DasEi | coachj: scrrensaver ? | 17:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, you never chose raid, sorry, so why did you try to create a boot partition, what went wrong the first time | 17:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | DasEi, ok | 17:43 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: Old bios and I had windows in the seccond partition. | 17:44 |
| coachj | DasEi:::yes after a few minutes it goes to a blank screen then requires the password to get back in | 17:44 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | does ubuntu have a built in partition tool? | 17:44 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: I started this whole thing so that I could get rid of windows... | 17:44 |
| igoryonya | Hello, my panels freeze, after boot, intermittently. Once, I boot, they are ok, an other time, they freeze, and when they freeze, I have to reboot and hope that they will not be frozen after boot. How can I fix it? Ubuntu 9.04 64bit Gnome. | 17:44 |
| PatrickGleason | Lord_Chewbakka: yup- gparted | 17:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Wilabob, I think a reinstall is in order otherwise you can try fixing grub yourself | 17:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !grub | Wilabob | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Wilabob: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 17:44 |

| DasEi | coachj: system > preferences > screensaver | 17:45 |
| coachj | DasEi:: Oh my I didn't see it....WOW | 17:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | igoryonya, you can start by reading the logs in /var/log/ for problems i.e. dmesg, sys.log, message and kernel | 17:45 |
| DasEi | coachj: you'll find it there | 17:46 |
| Wilabob | Pirate_Hunter: Thing is I've reinstalled like 4 or 5 times since deleting windows and it has never worked, It always has the same grub error. | 17:46 |
| crankharder | I think my installation issue is that the grub installer thinks my boot HD is hd0 -- when it's actually sde. I'm still in the installer, dropped to a shell and there's no menu.lst in side of /boot/grub -- where can I edit this? | 17:46 |
| coachj | DasEi: got it LOL | 17:46 |
| DasEi | crankharder: karmic ? | 17:46 |
| crankharder | 9.10 | 17:47 |
| DasEi | crankharder: is karmic, it uses grub2 now, the config changed, file to edit is /etc/default/grub, but.. | 17:47 |
| escalador_ | wtf is this | 17:47 |
| DasEi | crankharder: I didn't get your whole question/issue | 17:48 |
| PatrickGleason | escalador_: ? | 17:48 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | ubottu: do i have to restart and wait for boot, because if i shut down my computer it crashes? | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:48 |
| rdogg112 | guys i was mkfs'ing my external hard drive, and i accidently closed the terminal, now not even dmesg will see the drive | 17:48 |
| escalador_ | sry i choose the wrong channel | 17:48 |
| rdogg112 | did I kill my drive or can i fix it? | 17:48 |
| crankharder | DasEi: i think it's trying to boot to hd0 and not sde (which is where i choose to install to) | 17:48 |
| crankharder | ...it's done this before | 17:48 |
| DasEi | Lord_Chewbakka: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot | 17:48 |
| ziel0ny | hi | 17:48 |
| escalador_ | and the wrong server xD | 17:48 |
| crankharder | had to manually change it because the installer screws up | 17:48 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | lol | 17:48 |

I think its best to start with a clean hd also you might want to check for any issue with ubuntu and your board, however I very much doubt it | 17:49 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | DasEi: im such a noob | 17:49 |
| rdogg112 | so can I fix my drive? | 17:49 |

| DasEi | crankharder: it is a complete new grub now, see : | 17:51 |
| DasEi | !grub2 | 17:51 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:51 |
| coz_ | crankharder, that has changed with grub2... to get a better idea about this you may want to visit the #grub channel | 17:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | igoryonya, tail / tail -100 to see the last 100 lines but I would stick with less which shows you everything | 17:51 |
| Lord_Chewbakka | DasEi: understood, some day il be leet you see ;D | 17:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maverickapollo, tail -f is useful when spotting error or checking what programs are doing | 17:52 |

| gadriel | I can record streams with vlc usually, but this one uses cookies and they're not supported in vlc | 18:27 |
| Vigo | aar: Here it is:> http://www.mirbsd.org/htman/i386/man1/lynx.htm sorta | 18:27 |
| eremite | gadriel: run a line from yoru mic/line-in to your speakers and use something like Audacity to record the stream. | 18:27 |
| DasEi | gadriel: authenticate as used to, ply in vlc, record with audacity or streamripper | 18:28 |
| DasEi | play* | 18:28 |
| gadriel | I can't play it vlc at all since vlc doesnt support cookies tho | 18:28 |
| coachj | DasEi: don't think it worked here is output of jeff@Ubuntu:~$ glxgears | 18:29 |
| coachj | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 18:29 |
| DasEi | gadriel: tried streamripper from cmdline | 18:29 |
| gadriel | in* | 18:29 |
| eremite | gadriel: play it in ANY player, run a line from mic input to speaker input and then hit record with audacity. It will record flawlessly. | 18:29 |
| DasEi | coachj: fglrxinfo says ? | 18:29 |

| eremite | gadriel: cable from MIC/LINE-IN running into your STEREO-OUT. You will not be able to hear the audio being recorded because your speaker-out line will be plugged into your mic. | 18:31 |
| StevenR | Vigo: not sure | 18:31 |

| mrman208 | Evil_: You'd have to open up your computer actually | 18:35 |
| eremite | gadriel: seriously, I do what I suggested to you all the time. I record streams by plugging my speaker-out to my mic and hit record. I watch the levels and make sure they are not too high or in the red and everything si ALWAYS fine. | 18:35 |

| StevenR | Vigo: I can't see any option for that. If I use the Fn-hotkeys the panel brightness does change.... the notification stack doesn't show it though | 18:37 |
| mrman208 | Evil_: then id suggest getting a USB wireless adapter somewhere and use that | 18:37 |

| PatrickGleason | bahaa: i do | 18:55 |
| eremite | bahaa: I think they were pulling your leg. The ONLY difference between the apps is the GUI which was designed for gnome, but if you use the non gnome version you will still be able to have it integrate with your theme because it is based on gtk. Trust me, its better. If you cant find out how to do a simple thing l;ike see the user list of a room then you need a different client which is easier to use. | 18:55 |
| PatrickGleason | bahaa: wait, idk. the orange one lol | 18:56 |
| bahaa | thanks eremite | 18:57 |
| bahaa | patrickgleason: what do you mean man??????? | 18:57 |
| eremite | bahaa: "When xchat-gnome was first written, we stuck the user list in the main UI, just like we were all used to. It was in a different spot, but it seemed natural that it should be there. As we used it more, we realized something. In order to be useful, the user list was taking up a lot of space, but we were rarely even looking at it. And so, it got hidden behind a button, and pops up. This gives us several advantages, but one in par | 18:57 |
| PatrickGleason | bahaa: the xchat I use has an orange icon. above that, I dont know which one it is lol | 18:57 |
| DasEi | bahaa: there are many pros and contras for messengers, take a look at pidgin, evolution, xchat, irrsi maybe, and see what fits your needs best, there are lots more | 18:58 |
| eremite | PatrickGleason: xchat and xchat gnome are slightly different, visually. | 18:58 |
| bahaa | eremite: you are totally right; and I like the way you are talking in(we) | 18:58 |
| bahaa | dasei: I use pidgin for messenger but for irs I like xchat-gnome but I just want to see the users once :( | 18:59 |
| eremite | bahaa: just press the user list button!!!! | 18:59 |
| bahaa | eremite: ok got it | 19:00 |
| DasEi | bahaa: as I remember you can configure gnome-xchat to diplay user list | 19:00 |
| bahaa | eremite: haha | 19:00 |

| xterm | yepp.. it's mounting on /media/cdrom... as it should be..... Whell.. It should be interpreted as a cdrom under windows anyway. Then You should use a program called dpfmate that does some magic and turnes it into a removable media.... | 19:47 |
| Dr4g | ok | 19:47 |

| fuzion24 | it only worked with firewire from what i read | 20:25 |
| Gnea | kent: it's actually the same thing, but using kde instead of gnome. | 20:25 |
| Whisky` | Gnea, I don't know I looked up some site on Google someone was recommending it :/ :( | 20:25 |

I've actually found ubuntu more stable than kubuntu, but that's just me. I actually hate gnome and replaced it with E17, which is faster than both, but that floats my boat. | 20:28 |

| slackster | Gelfling: it's freebsd..btw | 20:34 |
| Gelfling | or are you gonna dual boot? | 20:34 |
| ubuntunoob | well doing the dual booting partition stuff seems abit risky.. | 20:34 |
| Gelfling | if you remove ubuntu, and install windows | 20:35 |
| Gelfling | you will need to repair the MBR | 20:35 |

| ubuntunoob | what will i need to do after that for them both to show up on some bootloader? | 20:36 |
| wade | gnea: soo i'm stuck ? | 20:36 |

| maco | ubuntunoob: if not, you need to resize your ubuntu partiton andmake an ntfs partition for windows using an ubuntu live cd. then install windows to that partition. then reinstall grub from an ubuntu live cd | 20:38 |
| ubuntunoob | no i do not maco | 20:38 |
| JokerAway | What is the "new" grub.lst ? or where is it now located? | 20:38 |
| Gelfling | ubuntunoob, what windows version? | 20:38 |

| knoppies | `Jack, are you using a domain name or your IP address when you connect to it? | 20:48 |
| armor-64 | maco: in terminal? | 20:48 |
| Gelfling | Gnea, know any tricks in ubuntu to keep it from overheating? lol | 20:48 |

| maco | armor-64: aye | 20:48 |
| maco | armor-64: i mean "yes" | 20:48 |
| Gnea | wade: weird. do you have a green light in preferences->administration->hardware drivers? | 20:48 |
| `Jack | I don't use a domain name | 20:48 |
| wade | gnea: yes | 20:49 |
| `Jack | knoppies, this problem wasn't before. something is blocking some ports that I need | 20:49 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, are you connecting using your ip address instead of a name server? | 20:49 |
| armor-64 | maco: i know don't worry!xaxa | 20:49 |
| `Jack | Gelfling, connecting on what ? | 20:49 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, the irc server | 20:49 |
| `Jack | yes, using my ip address | 20:49 |
| Gnea | Gelfling: yeah, use it on a flat surface, not on a blanket or clothing or anything that would restrict air movement from below/sides | 20:49 |
| maco | `Jack: is it possible your ISP got Not Happy at your traffic usage, realised you had a server, and took action? | 20:50 |
| infid | can the courier font print unicode characters? | 20:50 |
| guntbert | armor-64: did acpi -b give any useful output? | 20:50 |

| gbramwell | Is there a reason why a keyboard showing in lsusb wouldn't work on the splash screen? | 20:50 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, are you using any type of firewall in ubuntu ? | 20:50 |
| `Jack | directly in my network cark | 20:50 |
| Gnea | `Jack: have you considered using a different port? | 20:50 |
| `Jack | Gelfling, yes, quicktables. | 20:50 |
| `Jack | Gnea, no, but this shouldn't be a problem for website users ? | 20:51 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, have you made sure all ports are open in quicktables? dumb question, but gotta ask lol | 20:51 |
| knoppies | `Jack, with optical fiber, do you only have one IP (as in no external IP)? | 20:51 |
| armor-64 | guntbert: i am installing it!i give you answer in 2 min | 20:51 |
| `Jack | Gelfling, Yes. all open | 20:51 |
| `Jack | knoppies, one ip, yes. | 20:51 |
| guntbert | armor-64: ok - take your time :) | 20:51 |
| knoppies | `Jack, give me your IP, so that I can try connect. I want to see what kind of error I get. | 20:51 |
| `Jack | knoppies, 78.96.25.71 | 20:52 |
| Gnea | `Jack: as far as I can see, it looks more like your webserver just isn't setup right | 20:52 |
| BlueEagle | `jack: ...and when you say optical fiber directly into your network card does that imply that you do not use an ethernet cable? Because where I live optical fiber connections are terminated in a modem usually along with TV and telephone. | 20:52 |
| rdogg | anyone know if theres a free alternative to cpanel so I can make my own webhost? | 20:52 |

| guntbert | `Jack: you realize that this channel is publicly logged? so posting your IP address might not be the *best* idea :_) | 20:53 |
| armor-64 | guntbert: i type what maco says acpi -b and acpi says:battery 0 unknown, 0% | 20:53 |
| Eette | m2fu: yes. you can upgrade without reformatting. | 20:53 |
| DaZ | guntbert: dude... | 20:53 |
| `Jack | guntbert, I know. but I really need to solve this. | 20:53 |
| m2fu | perfect, thanks | 20:53 |
| Powderking | m2fu yes you can upgrade from the running system | 20:53 |
| HowardtheDuck | hey will mencoder work on a 64 bit quad core | 20:53 |
| guntbert | DaZ: I beg your pardon? | 20:53 |
| Gnea | `Jack: are you aware that Romania can and will block anything it wants to? | 20:53 |
| bsmith093 | jack whats the problem | 20:54 |
| brontosaurusrex | HowardtheDuck: sure | 20:54 |
| armor-64 | guntbert: plus rate information unavailable | 20:54 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, is your irc server running now? | 20:54 |
| maco | armor-64: yuck. sounds like a bug. did you mention grub earlier? it wasnt "i set it to boot with noacpi" was it? | 20:54 |
| Ganymede | orb01, try a shell that cycles through filenames when you use tab completition, then keep on hitting tab until the file comes around (if there are fewer than like 20 files) | 20:54 |
| DaZ | guntbert: ips are public as well. | 20:54 |
| HowardtheDuck | but...will it divide the workload between the 4 processors? | 20:54 |
| `Jack | Gnea, this is against my consumer rights :) | 20:54 |
| `Jack | if my ISP blocked my port | 20:54 |
| Gnea | `Jack: what is? :) | 20:54 |
| `Jack | Gelfling, no, I stopped it when I saw that the ports are down | 20:54 |
| `Jack | I erased the archive too. | 20:54 |
| knoppies | `Jack, Im trying to connect to it now... | 20:55 |
| armor-64 | maco: you say acpi -b it's wrong? | 20:55 |
| `Jack | knoppies, will be timed out. | 20:55 |
| `Jack | on port 80 | 20:55 |
| Gnea | `Jack: if they think you're using bittorrent, then perhaps it's not against your rights | 20:55 |
| orb01 | Ganymede: that's the problem, it displays the files in Dolphin e.g., but I can't open them through there. The filename contains ? characters, and find nor rename can't find them | 20:55 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, did you change the ports? | 20:55 |
| guntbert | armor-64: it seems that there are problems recognizing your hardware - please try to lookup your notebook on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 20:55 |
| Ganymede | orb01, or try copying them into new files: something like: for i in *; do cp -iv "$i" $(uuidgen); done | 20:55 |
| `Jack | Gelfling, I changed only the ssh port. that's all. | 20:55 |
| maco | armor-64: im saying it sounds like the kernel doesnt know whats going on with your battery | 20:55 |
| brontosaurusrex | HowardtheDuck: i know that x264 will encode in 12 threds on quad core, dunno about mencoder, since this is a pack of gazzilion thingies | 20:55 |
| wade | gnea: anything else i should try | 20:55 |
| `Jack | Gnea, bittorrent doesn't use port 80. they know that. | 20:55 |
| armor-64 | guntbert: ok!thanks | 20:55 |
| Gelfling | `Jack, sorry but i can't help you. =( | 20:55 |
| Gnea | `Jack: you seem to miss the point. | 20:56 |
| knoppies | `Jack, actually getting unknown host. What port were you using for your IRC server? | 20:56 |
| armor-64 | maco: dunno!what should i do? | 20:56 |
| `Jack | knoppies, 6667 | 20:56 |
| `Jack | default one | 20:56 |
| Ganymede | orb01, that will make copies of the file with new filenames | 20:56 |
| maco | armor-64: file a bug. "ubuntu-bug linux" | 20:56 |
| `Jack | it's closed that too. | 20:56 |
| knoppies | `Jack, did you have something (like a web server) running on port 80? | 20:56 |
| `Jack | knoppies, just a website made with drupal | 20:56 |
| maco | armor-64: also, give a 10.04 live cd a try. see if lucid may have already fixed it | 20:56 |
| bsmith093 | just randomise the port like use 51413 | 20:57 |
| knoppies | `Jack, using no-ip (and probably some others) you can avoid using the default ports. | 20:57 |
| `Jack | I don't care about the irc server, I just need the port 80 . | 20:57 |
| `Jack | So.. my ISP could block those ports, right ? | 20:58 |
| armor-64 | maco: i i give a try with the newest Ubuntu and see what's happening!if it's not working i send an e-mail!can i contact with irc with them? | 20:58 |
| knoppies | `Jack, in theory, but Im not sure why they would. | 20:58 |
| `Jack | knoppies, me either.. | 20:58 |
| maco | armor-64: not email. file a bug on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs | 20:59 |
| knoppies | `Jack, you want to try port 80 redirect using no-ip? | 20:59 |
| maco | armor-64: if you do it with the "ubuntu-bug linux" command from the live cd, it'll include lots of debugging info automatically for the kernel developers, and that'll help fix it faster | 20:59 |
| `Jack | "using no-iP" ? i'm a little bit more noob in linux .. | 21:00 |
| `Jack | :) | 21:00 |
| armor-64 | maco: ok i see what i can do!thanks for the help | 21:00 |
| knoppies | no-ip is a website that hands out subdomains for free. They have a paid service as well but You dont have to pay for this service. | 21:00 |
| maco | armor-64: good luck :) | 21:00 |
| brontosaurusrex | <`Jack> how is your router set? | 21:00 |
| `Jack | brontosaurusrex, I don't have a router. | 21:00 |
| knoppies | brontosaurusrex, no router, its an Optic Fiber connection. | 21:01 |
| `Jack | knoppies, I have a free subdomain on my ip from afraid.org | 21:01 |
| `Jack | that could be a problem for port 80 ? | 21:01 |
| knoppies | `Jack, do they do port redirection? | 21:01 |
| knoppies | `Jack, not unless you only tried to connect to your webserver with their subdomain, if you used your IP then it shouldnt haffect it. | 21:01 |
| `Jack | knoppies, I don't think so .. I have 3 servers with subdomains from there and I don't have problems. | 21:01 |

| Guest3357 | hi | 21:09 |
| kkerwin | Not sure where to ask this. Just bought a micro usb cable for use as a data cable for my phone. Turns out that it is a charging cable only. Damn sales rep lied to me when asked about it. Anyway, I saw something on a google search one time about getting charging cables to work as a data cable. Anyone have any experience with that, or know where I should ask? | 21:10 |
| === maple1 is now known as ccnz | ||
| knoppies | kkerwin, other than google (or maybe even the ubuntu forums) no. I think the only difference would be that the data cable has more copper connections than the charging one, so I would assume you just add a few. But then Im sucking my thumb. | 21:11 |
| kkerwin | knoppies: Thanks. Saw something about just a driver, so not even a hardware solution. Definitely confused, also. | 21:12 |
| tbrock | hey guys, i was running a mv command in an ssh window to move a ton of data from one server to another over nfs ~1.5tb | 21:12 |
| tbrock | and I got disconnected | 21:12 |
| tbrock | i see that the mv is still in top | 21:13 |
| knoppies | kkerwin, hmm, Have you tried to use it as a data cable (without doing any modifications)? | 21:13 |
| kkerwin | knoppies: Device doesn't even show up in lsusb. | 21:13 |
| tbrock | so i think the command is still running, is there any way to still be able to see the output/reconnect to the command | 21:13 |
| whorush | hey, transmission says my "port is closed" , don't get it. sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt. last night it was open and fast as hell, today its closed and pretty slow. whats up? | 21:14 |
| knoppies | kkerwin, I think we have exhausted my knowledge on this. I hope you find a solution. That does sound interesting though. | 21:14 |
| tbrock | i can see the user is still logged in and running the command if i type w or who | 21:14 |
| knoppies | whorush, is something else using the port? | 21:14 |
| kkerwin | knoppies: Thanks for your help, anyways! :-) | 21:14 |
| knoppies | kkerwin, my pleasure. | 21:14 |
| whorush | knoppies, ya know its some port up there like 57416, i doubt it? besides i've tried a bunch of ports that are all closed. | 21:15 |
| knoppies | whorush, The next thing I would suggest is investigating any firewalls (maybe even your router) but I dont even know how to use iptables. | 21:16 |
| Kuukkeli^ | Hmmmh, does anyone here have Steam client running under wine? | 21:16 |
| whorush | yeah it could be the ubuntu firewall? | 21:16 |
| knoppies | whorush, dont know. | 21:16 |
| knoppies | whorush, assuming ubuntu has one by default, its possible. | 21:16 |
| whorush | thanks, anyone else know how to unblock my port in transmission? | 21:17 |

| iceroot | LinuxGuy2009: /var/cache/apt there are all deps going you installed, also you can use apt-get -d to just download a package (have a look at man apt-get) | 22:01 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | SmaSh2: apt-get is apt-get aptitude is aptitude | 22:05 |
| bidhu | its a mobile | 22:05 |

| bidhu | jzacsh........ | 22:06 |

| jzacsh | kevin_: but its not hda, its sd | 22:07 |
| blakkheim | poincare101: i didn't say anything about the database, calm down | 22:07 |
| guntbert | jzacsh: doesn't matter in grub | 22:07 |
| poincare101 | blakkheim: apt-get and aptitude use the same database from which they gather dependencies | 22:07 |
| bidhu | bye jzacsh | 22:07 |
| blakkheim | poincare101: yes, and? | 22:07 |
| miyage | Nobody use Ubuntu with Asus Eee PC 701? | 22:07 |

| bidhu | will t ry to solve it on my own | 22:07 |
| costre | makkalot, It's a program to install and config graphics drivers. It helpsout a lot most of the time | 22:07 |

| cutiyar | how to add new hard ? | 22:07 |
| guntbert | kevin_: /dev/sda1 would be (hd0,0) then (in grub) | 22:08 |
| kevin_ | OK, my XP installation is "dev/sda1/". What do I put where for the numbers (hdx,x) | 22:08 |
| poincare101 | blakkheim: so, one cannot handle dependencies better than the other. | 22:08 |
| kevin_ | guntbert thanks | 22:08 |
| blakkheim | poincare101: aptitude handles dependencies better than apt-get, despite them using the same database. | 22:08 |
| bidhu | jzacsh:ya thats a mobile phone.......with which i wana connect internet | 22:08 |

| Out_Cold | -alis- #android 361 :Welcome to the official Android-platform IRC channel! | 22:20 |
| karan | sorry floodbot | 22:20 |
| Salva1 | Whaich thind should I disable in order to do that? | 22:20 |
| Out_Cold | nope doesn't exist.... | 22:20 |
| jzacsh | Salva1: a lot of programs write log files. why don't you want log files produced? | 22:21 |
| karan | can i speak now? | 22:22 |
| jzacsh | karan: you can speak, just all on one line | 22:22 |
| jzacsh | Salva1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles | 22:22 |
| Out_Cold | karan, have you registered with freenode? you can't join certain channels without registering first | 22:22 |
| Salva1 | To keep the hard disk inactive as much as psible. | 22:22 |
| karan | in the #WINDOWS channel they are pissed at me | 22:22 |
| karan | i told them ubuntu was the best | 22:22 |
| ubuntunoob | YOU LEGEND. | 22:23 |
| lxaaaa | Unable to get WPA settings working for my wifi card. Getting link is not ready error message. | 22:23 |
| Out_Cold | karan, we try not to start feuds in here | 22:23 |
| ubuntunoob | windows is best for gaming tho :p | 22:23 |
| karan | :( | 22:23 |
| Vampire0 | You are right karan, still you shouldn't use one line per word ;-) | 22:23 |
| Gnea | karan: it's not nice to bring up off-topic topics in other channels like that. | 22:23 |
| SickPuppy | I'm using Firestarter, In "Active Connections" it's showing a connection to port 1 tcpmux,,but it doesnt show up in netstat . | 22:23 |
| SickPuppy | How can I be sure this is accurate ? | 22:24 |
| CastleFox | I think I might get this one and put ubuntu on it OUT-COLD | 22:24 |
| CastleFox | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00322PYWM/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pc | 22:24 |
| jzacsh | Salva1: I'm curious, why? are you getting warnings that the disk is bad? | 22:24 |
| Out_Cold | CastleFox, sounds like a good idea... just ummm get any color but black. | 22:25 |
| Salva1 | No, but I ant to do as much as posible to not to wear as posible. | 22:25 |
| CastleFox | lol dont like black ? | 22:25 |
| Out_Cold | bad for prints | 22:25 |
| Salva1 | I do not want a hard disk crash. | 22:25 |
| karan | they muted me | 22:25 |
| CastleFox | Ah | 22:25 |
| Out_Cold | karan, it happens usually when you start being lippy ;) | 22:26 |
| jzacsh | Salva1: I think log files will be the least of your worries. hard disks are meant to be spun, you really should rely more on backup methods than anything else, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | 22:26 |
| karan | <Out_Cold> lol | 22:26 |
| Salva1 | I do back ups. | 22:27 |
| guntbert | karan: Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 22:27 |
| Salva1 | But I think that I do not currently need to log activities. | 22:27 |
| Zolomon | How do I find where sun's java jdk installed itself? :) | 22:27 |
| CastleFox | ugggggggggg Out-Cold | 22:27 |
| Out_Cold | Salva1, i agree... no matter how much you try to reduce spinning.. it's inevitable.. you could mount /var on another disk and have logs there.. | 22:27 |
| * Zolomon is a new ubuntu/linux user. | 22:27 | |
| jzacsh | Salva1: you can try replacing all the log files with links to /dev/null (not sure if the harddisk will spin anyway though) | 22:28 |
| Zolomon | Inexperienced is a more suitable term. | 22:28 |
| CastleFox | I Wasn this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00303G9FO/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pc but its sleep mode doesnt work in ubuntu. :( Lame sause | 22:28 |
| Out_Cold | CastleFox, the 1005ha works great with suspens | 22:28 |
| Out_Cold | *suspend | 22:28 |
| mac9416 | Zolomon, did you install it with APT (Synaptic, Software Center)? | 22:28 |
| Zolomon | Yep | 22:29 |
| CastleFox | mmk | 22:29 |
| Out_Cold | asus is better than toshiba IMO | 22:29 |
| mac9416 | Zolomon, would you happen to know the package name? | 22:29 |
| CastleFox | better linux support ? | 22:30 |
| Zolomon | sun-java6-jdk IIRC | 22:30 |
| Out_Cold | asus has good compatibility... i've never had issues | 22:30 |
| mac9416 | Zolomon, then run 'dpkg -L sun-java6-jdk' and it will list all files installed with that package. | 22:30 |
| Out_Cold | good driver support | 22:30 |
| Zolomon | mac9416: Thanks! | 22:30 |
| mac9416 | Zolomon, no problem. :-) | 22:31 |
| chris59 | Hi what is a good bittorrent client? I tried Transmission and it's too light, and Vuze doesn't seem to work at all (won't launch) | 22:31 |
| infid | jzacsh: the rss feed reader plugin for gnome-do only supports OPML files | 22:31 |
| Out_Cold | chris59, open synaptic and search for torrent. or use apt-search list torrent | 22:31 |
| jzacsh | infid: I've never had an issue with it. | 22:31 |
| mac9416 | !bittorrent | chris59 | 22:32 |
| ubottu | chris59: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 22:32 |
| Out_Cold | my answer: good. mac9416's answer: better ;) | 22:32 |
| Kentrel | I'm getting a weird thing with grep. When I type "grep -i kent *.log" I get "grep:invalid option -- 'p' | 22:33 |
| mac9416 | Out_Cold, hurray for automation. :-) | 22:33 |
| mac9416 | Out_Cold, ready-made responses rather. | 22:33 |
| Out_Cold | mac9416, i can barely remember the bots name let alone a quarter of his responses | 22:33 |
| infid | jzacsh: what do you mean? it only lets me add downloaded opml files as feeds, not urls | 22:33 |
| mac9416 | Out_Cold, haha. I just guessed. :-P | 22:33 |
| maco | chris59: can you file a bug on vuze? "ubuntu-bug vuze" in your terminal | 22:34 |
| jzacsh | infid: just a sec, let me see. | 22:34 |
| Kentrel | Help, grep won't work | 22:34 |
| chris59 | Maco, I uninstalled it, I'll get around to filing a bug later | 22:34 |
| Kentrel | I'm getting a weird thing with grep. When I type "grep -i kent *.log" I get "grep:invalid option -- 'p' | 22:34 |
| infid | 'Simple RSS feeder' | 22:34 |
| chris59 | ah it seems I don;t need to reinstall | 22:35 |
| Out_Cold | Kentrel, i don't think grep likes * | 22:35 |
| amaurea | Lately, when doing stuff that causes a terminal application to print an alarm char, my system has started actually obeying them, and plays an irritating sound. For example, echo -e '\a' produces this sound. I want to turn it off. How do I do this? | 22:35 |
| Out_Cold | try grep -i kent log | 22:35 |
| guntbert | Out_Cold: grep doesn't see the * : it should be expanded by the shell | 22:36 |
| chris59 | Thanks guys, I have stuff to do now Bye | 22:36 |
| Out_Cold | guntbert, i figured as much... just didn't know the underlying reasons | 22:36 |
| jzacsh | infid: I'm not sure, but I think the notifications I've been getting have been from my twitter account I have setup (i follow a bunch of news orgz on twitter) -- anyways, I was curious about opml and it looks pretty nifty. its a nice way for you to manager your feeds from one file. here's an example http://scripting.com/feeds/top100x.opml | 22:37 |
| guntbert | Out_Cold: so his line *should* work (and does here) | 22:37 |
| Out_Cold | guntbert, oh... i umm have had issues using * before... | 22:37 |
| Gnea | CastleFox: good system, but if you want to save a few bucks: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Eee+PC+Netbook+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Atom%26%23153%3B+Processor+-+Black/9614645.p?skuId=9614645&ky=1whxm51gbOgORrn6M8JOUlLjDtR0yY7Rx&cmp=RMX&id=1218131341427 it's basically the same thing | 22:37 |
| Mannequin | I've got two users on an Ubuntu Server installation (one for me and one for a co-worker). | 22:38 |
| Mannequin | I would like to know if it's possible to set her terminal messages in another language (not English), as she's new to Linux and not well versed at reading English. | 22:38 |
| Out_Cold | that's my model there.... great lil guy | 22:38 |
| Mannequin | (but I would like to keep mine in English) | 22:38 |
| guntbert | Out_Cold: if you got time you might want to read on bash and expansion :-) | 22:38 |
| iceroot | Mannequin: no, they are depending on the program | 22:38 |
| guntbert | Kentrel: what is your shell? | 22:39 |
| Zolomon | If I want to set JAVA_HOME to the path where my jdk installed itself, is /usr/liv/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.15 the correct path then? Or should it be the bin path inside that path? | 22:39 |
| Out_Cold | guntbert, i always have time to read monotonous tutorials and manuals | 22:39 |
| Zolomon | lib* | 22:39 |
| Mannequin | iceroot: what do you mean by "the program"? the program or command that has been run on the terminal? | 22:39 |
| Kentrel | guntbert, bash | 22:39 |
| CastleFox | Gnea: I love the price but the 'up to 3hours and 50min of battery time" concerns me. | 22:40 |
| Mannequin | (I would like translated messages for commands like "ls", "aptitude", etc) | 22:40 |
| Kentrel | its weird, because those grep commands were working the other day | 22:40 |
| iceroot | Zolomon: use /var/lib/jvm/sun-java6-jre (without version numbre) | 22:40 |
| Out_Cold | CastleFox, like i said.. i can push mine up to 7 hrs | 22:40 |
| Zolomon | Ah, thanks | 22:40 |
| CastleFox | I guess I can just wait for 10.04 and see if any new netbooks come out then | 22:40 |
| iceroot | Mannequin: yes, because the program is doing the output | 22:40 |
| guntbert | Out_Cold: :) -- I think I remember where you had troubles with * : was it find? if you use special characters in the pattern you must enclose it in " ... " | 22:40 |
| iceroot | Mannequin: but you can set the language-var for a user | 22:40 |
| maco | Mannequin: i think locale can be set per-user | 22:40 |
| Mannequin | iceroot: ok, thanks! | 22:40 |
| Mannequin | iceroot, maco: yes, that's what I'm looking for | 22:40 |
| iceroot | !locale | Mannequin | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Mannequin: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 22:40 |
| Out_Cold | guntbert, that kind of makes sense. and yea it probably was me and find... | 22:41 |
| maco | Mannequin: set "LANG=X" (where X is the abbreviation) in the user's ~/.profile | 22:41 |
| CastleFox | out cold, Did the one button at the bottom bother you? | 22:41 |
| guntbert | Kentrel: strange - try grep -i kent /var/log/syslog | 22:41 |
| chez | ubuntu doenst start up properly, it gets to the ubtuntu loading screen and then restarts, where are the logs i should look at ? | 22:41 |
| lydia | How can I run wine as other user without problems? If I run wine with sudo as other user I'm getting "Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.".... | 22:41 |
| Out_Cold | CastleFox, it's a left/right click... and it does a little.. i occasionally move my mouse when i don't want to | 22:41 |
| maco | Mannequin: like "fr" or "de" | 22:42 |
| Gnea | CastleFox: good point | 22:42 |
| iceroot | chez: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot | 22:42 |
| Mannequin | maco: thanks, will try that. | 22:42 |
| Kentrel | guntbert, it doesn't give an error in that case | 22:42 |
| jzacsh | Kentrel: are you using bash? echo $SHELL | 22:43 |
| Kentrel | /bin/bash | 22:43 |
| Kentrel | yep | 22:43 |
| amaurea | How do I change the sound theme? | 22:43 |
| lydia | gksu does not work, too... | 22:43 |
| Kentrel | Does grep not like * or something | 22:43 |
| === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa | ||
| chez | iceroot: syslog only has comments from when ubuntu has fully loaded, boot log has nothing, how would i get boot log to record ? | 22:44 |
| jzacsh | Kentrel: I haven't bene following the conversation much -- but did you try grep -i kent ./*.log ? | 22:44 |
| guntbert | Kentrel: as I said before: the * is expanded by the shell - so grep doesn't see it at all | 22:44 |
| Kentrel | ah, that works | 22:44 |
| iceroot | chez: press esc at splashscreen to see tty1 | 22:44 |
| jzacsh | Kentrel: no, your shell should be expanding on the asterisk, grep shouldn't see it | 22:44 |
| CastleFox | I wish Asus models came will a different style keyboard | 22:45 |

| === Guest30134 is now known as amitprakash | ||
| Kentrel | jzacsh, Though that works it won't search recursively even though I use -r | 22:46 |

| Out_Cold | CastleFox, it takes a little gettign used to.. i am over it... and i have big hands | 22:46 |
| guntbert | jzacsh: ./*.log | 22:46 |
| mac9416 | frxstrem, or 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' | 22:46 |
| peepsalot | i tried to run nvidia-xconfig, but it says it cannot find the x configuration file | 22:46 |
| jzacsh | Kentrel: do you know for sure its not searching recursively? (is the a subdirectory that has soething you know it should come up with) ? | 22:46 |

| NOTSUREHERE | When unplugging a USB thumb drive - Which is best option to use "Eject" or "Safely Remove Drive" ? ? or does it matter ? ? | 22:49 |
| mac9416 | NOTSUREHERE, if I had to guess, the second one. But I'm not sure what the difference is. | 22:50 |
| jzacsh | NOTSUREHERE: generally I use "safely remove" | 22:50 |
| CastleFox | Is there any way to add an extra location to the weather thing? | 22:50 |
| Out_Cold | NOTSUREHERE, eject is handy for read-only but i think it also 'safely removes' | 22:50 |

| tropsobor | what's the cleanest way to install Wesnoth 1.8 onto Ubuntu 9.10? | 23:04 |
| tropsobor | or the suggested way | 23:04 |
| iamnotaguest | mac9416: Hmm that's not the only thing that's happening today with ubuntu | 23:04 |
| iamnotaguest | It reminds me of the random crap XP used to throw at me :s | 23:04 |
| Out_Cold | amitprakash, why not use network manager? or wicd? | 23:05 |
| mac9416 | iamnotaguest, fire a few more questions off then. Likelier than not, someone will know the answers. | 23:05 |
| Out_Cold | tropsobor, compile from source | 23:05 |
| amitprakash | Out_Cold, well i am using ICS over an ad-hoc wireless to connect to the ppp0 dial up on this system | 23:05 |
| amitprakash | and network-manager seems to fail terribly at it | 23:05 |
| iamnotaguest | mac9416: I'll write down exactly what I was doing/done last time they happen actually | 23:05 |
| Out_Cold | amitprakash, haha sounds too advanced for my advice :p | 23:05 |
| amitprakash | heh | 23:05 |
| iamnotaguest | It'd be way too vague right now | 23:05 |
| Out_Cold | amitprakash, wicd is a python manager... | 23:06 |

| amitprakash | fwaokda, which card | 23:08 |

| Zolomon | Not install, run.. | 23:15 |
| amitprakash | Out_Cold, ah.. a lil progress | 23:15 |
| Out_Cold | is it the right subnet? | 23:15 |

| amitprakash | Out_Cold, so problem isnt the class but the gateway.. maybe because its already in use by ppp0 | 23:15 |

| amitprakash | Out_Cold, not really sure why thats happening, i had a similar issue except till i realized that the drive names changed from sda to hda/hdb and were causing the issue.. doesnt look like the case w/ you tho | 23:26 |
| amitprakash | the floppy thing seems do be doing something similar tho | 23:26 |
| Out_Cold | amitprakash, no.. not sure what's up with it.... it's giving me grey hair ;) | 23:26 |
| tm0 | Frxstrem, Out_cold I've done both :/ Nucc1 Its whatpulse | 23:27 |
| Out_Cold | tm0, if you compiled, you can remove by deleting.. if you used apt or synaptic/software center, you use that to remove | 23:27 |
| tm0 | Out_Cold where is it located? /etc/ i assume? | 23:28 |
| Out_Cold | tm0, depends where you installed it and what steps you did | 23:28 |
