| pleia2 | going well, you? | 03:27 |
| stlsaint | alright | 03:27 |
| drubin | running_rabbit07: did you get sorted? | 03:28 |
| running_rabbit07 | still trying to get the key | 03:28 |
| drubin | running_rabbit07: rather just do apt-add-repository | 03:29 |
| drubin | sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4E5E17B5 | 03:30 |
| stlsaint | nice command | 03:31 |
| stlsaint | sup drubin | 03:31 |
| drubin | what apt-add-repo? | 03:31 |
| drubin | and hey | 03:32 |
| stlsaint | yep | 03:32 |
| running_rabbit07 | drubin, how do use apt-get repo? | 03:33 |
| drubin | running_rabbit07: https://edge.launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 03:34 |
| drubin | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily | 03:34 |
| drubin | then do what pleia2 said. | 03:34 |
| ShadowKnight | hey, i was wondering. if windows 7 (any edition) starts acting up like a day after installing ubuntu, what would that mean? did ubuntu mess it up? | 03:35 |
| running_rabbit07 | that got it done, thanx drubin and pleia2 | 03:35 |
| drubin | ShadowKnight: define acting up | 03:36 |
| drubin | but no it shouldn't be ubuntu, ubuntu wont have any thing to do with windows 7 they should be on 2 different partions | 03:36 |
| pedro3005 | depends | 03:36 |
| pedro3005 | perhaps if you resized its partition within ubuntu... | 03:36 |
| ShadowKnight | drubin, IE8 not working wifi acting up and even it restarting every once in a while | 03:37 |
| ShadowKnight | pedro3005, i gave it only 60 gigs out of 250gigs | 03:37 |
| ShadowKnight | it was a brand new netbook if it helps | 03:37 |
| pedro3005 | ShadowKnight, probably not a partitioning issue | 03:37 |
| ShadowKnight | i was thinking that maybe the netbook was bad to begin with? | 03:38 |
| drubin | ShadowKnight: could be bad hard drive.. | 03:45 |
| drubin | but no ubuntu wouldn't affect windows in that way | 03:45 |
| ShadowKnight | okay then, thats what i was thinking. so i returned that netbook and exchanged it for a new one. would you say its safe to install ubuntu on it again? it was just because of that netbook that was acting up | 03:46 |
| drubin | ShadowKnight: yes it should be | 03:48 |
| ShadowKnight | thanks drubin | 03:48 |
| ShadowKnight | hey, i came across a problem right now. for some reason my keyboard doesnt work. it is only in ubuntu gde that it happened everything else works fine | 04:16 |
| ShadowKnight | i know it said something about slow keys or something. idk what to do | 04:18 |
| ShadowKnight | does anyone know how to fix this? | 04:21 |
| === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 | ||
| bodhizazen | ShadowKnight, what problem are you having w/ your keyboard ? | 04:37 |
| ShadowKnight | it says something about slow keys. ive been trying to see what happened cause it disabled my keyboard only in the ubuntu but not kubuntu | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | gnome or kde ? | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | or did you reboot between Ubuntu and Kubuntu ? | 04:39 |
| ShadowKnight | gnome. i had kubuntu and ubuntu installed lol | 04:39 |
| ShadowKnight | and ubuntu side my keyboard is not working for some reason | 04:39 |
| bodhizazen | log into gnome | 04:40 |
| bodhizazen | hold the shift key down for a few seconds | 04:41 |
| bodhizazen | hold it for 8-10 seconds | 04:41 |
| ShadowKnight | okay then :) ill go try that thank you :D ill log on right now | 04:42 |

| Droopsta915 | If I install Ubuntu on my computer, will it run ok? I have, 1024 ram memory. a 20gb harddrive and a . . . .Intel® Pentium® 4. Thanx | 05:04 |
| swoody | Droopsta915: yeah, it should run great :) | 05:05 |
| pedro3005 | Droopsta915, yes, it will run | 05:05 |
| swoody | Droopsta915: any other info you know offhand? Wireless card, video, etc.? | 05:05 |
| robbmunson | wouldnt 1GB kinda pushing it as far as the minimum goes? | 05:05 |
| swoody | 1GB? not at all, especially when you figure in swap space | 05:06 |
| robbmunson | wait, im thinking half gig...nvm | 05:07 |
| Droopsta915 | graphics card, i think. 32MB ATI® Radeon | 05:07 |
| Droopsta915 | swoody: Oh and no wireless card | 05:08 |
| pedro3005 | should run fine | 05:08 |
| Droopsta915 | thanks for the help everyone. | 05:09 |
| swoody | Droopsta915: that ATi would be the only thing you might want to look into. I don't think Ubuntu will have any probs, but if you want 3D stuff, you're going to need to get the right driver :) | 05:09 |
| robbmunson | *slams door in swoody's face* | 05:09 |
| robbmunson | :( | 05:09 |
| swoody | robbmunson: hey :P | 05:10 |
| robbmunson | well, I think im gonna go off and play with ircd-seven a bit...configured UnrealIRCd with no problems so off to try and break this now. | 05:11 |
| swoody | robbmunson: very cool :) Take care | 05:12 |
| robbmunson | wow, what a waste of time, need m0ar readme! | 05:23 |
| swoody | lol, go read a book :P | 05:31 |
| robbmunson | I mean it didnt have a readme file, it was a half baked idea (no way to compile, etc) | 05:37 |
| robbmunson | half the files were obviously missing | 05:37 |
| swoody | ah, I gotcha | 05:40 |
| robbmunson | unless im missing something in how to do it.... | 05:41 |
| swoody | did you scroll down when you got to the bottom of the first page? ;) | 05:42 |
| nhandler | robbmunson: !!! | 05:54 |
| pedro3005 | hello MadameTock | 05:57 |
| robbmunson | and yes swoody I did manage to read the entire "help" file, lol, it didnt do anything for me :/ | 05:58 |

| MadameTock | pedro3005, I mean that, absurdism isn't the only truth | 06:19 |

| Willex | hey guys, do you know if it's safe to install the latest stable mesa 7.8 and opensource ati driver on lucid? | 08:55 |
| Willex | my screen has these small lines flickering at times | 08:56 |
| Willex | it's not that bad but they kinda make it look like my screen is broken or something | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | Willex: Do you get the same issue with the live cd version? | 08:57 |
| Willex | yes | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | Willex: what driver are you currently using? | 08:58 |
| Willex | originally I though it'd be sorted out if I installed the complete package | 08:58 |
| Willex | the default that comes with lucid | 08:58 |
| Willex | did the updating but no fixes to what I'm experiencing | 08:59 |
| Bodsda | Willex: I would definately suggest installing the ATI drivers then - alternatively try reconfiguring X | 08:59 |
| Bodsda | an update wont install drivers | 08:59 |
| Willex | mmm, you mean the proprietary ones? I can't use those | 08:59 |
| Willex | too old of a card I have | 08:59 |
| ravibn | Hi! I need help with upgrading Gnome player on karmic 9.10. I hv already installed version 0.9. I found a newer version from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42163759/gnome-media-player-0.1.2.tar.gz how do i do this? | 09:00 |
| Bodsda | Willex: It doesnt matter which one you install - Propriatary/Open Source - Either way it will prove/disprove the default driver being the issue | 09:00 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: download that file and extract the folder to the desktop | 09:01 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: then run this from a terminal cd ~/Desktop/gnome-media-player-0.1.2 | 09:02 |
| ravibn | Ok! hang on | 09:02 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: do you have the appropriate packages installed to build from source? | 09:02 |
| Willex | can the latest xserver-xorg-video-ati be updated separately or does it need something to go with it? | 09:04 |
| ravibn | I have an earlier version installed on this machine right now How do I upgrade to the one I have downloaded now? | 09:04 |
| Bodsda | Willex: I am not sure im afraid - I have never owned an ati card | 09:06 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: you cant - building the one you just downloaded will create a seperate binary for running this version. Efeectively, you will have both installed | 09:06 |
| ravibn | Bodsda : I hv extracted the entire content to a directory in /home/downloads and there are no executables in that instead there are some shell scripts, cc files etc.... | 09:08 |
| Willex | let's say I update it through ppa and everything goes haywire, black screen and all, is there a safe mode where I can remove the changes I made and have it return to normal? | 09:08 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: yeah, you have to compile it with ./configure && make && sudo make install but I am having some issues with dependencies for this. It seems to be a very poorly finished package. There is no README file, the changelog includes nothing... | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | Willex: yeah - at the grub screen there is an option for single user mode (recovery mode) - from there you will get an option to reconfigure X | 09:09 |
| ravibn | Bodsda : So this is a incompleted pkg which we cannot compile | 09:10 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: Im not sure, I would say that you probably could get it working, but chances are you will be chasing your tail for a few hours compiling dependencies. I would advise sticking to the most up to date .deb file, but you can carry on trying if you like | 09:11 |
| ravibn | Bodsda : thank you for the info | 09:12 |
| Bodsda | ravibn: no worries - Im off out now, but if you need any more help just ping some of the guys in the room - someone should be around | 09:13 |

| pedro3005 | hello | 15:22 |
| collinp | Hi | 15:22 |
| C-Ray | How are you? | 15:22 |
| C-Ray | Please I have a quick question | 15:22 |
| collinp | Ask away. | 15:22 |
| C-Ray | I would like to watch Japanese Tv online, but which is the best program under Ubuntu 9.10 for this task | 15:23 |
| pedro3005 | C-Ray, you could get it streamed via http://www.tvchannelsfree.com/channels/42/Japan | 15:24 |
| C-Ray | ok thanks, but is there any program designed for this task? I mean synchronizing TV channels? | 15:25 |
| C-Ray | with the internet connection | 15:25 |
| pedro3005 | C-Ray, I don't see what you mean... Which program would you use on Windows? | 15:26 |
| C-Ray | I am not a windows user, but just I was guessing if there is anything like that. Namely, a program for connecting to TV channels and letting the user choose from them without visiting many sites. but it seems such a thing does not exist. Nevermind. Thanks anyway :) | 15:29 |
| C-Ray | sorry for the trouble | 15:29 |
| drubin | C-Ray: yes. Take a look at mythbuntu | 15:31 |
| C-Ray | ok I will | 15:31 |
| C-Ray | :) | 15:31 |
| drubin | C-Ray: or mythtv not sure if you can just install mythtv onto any ubuntu pc, or if you need to install the mythtv distro | 15:32 |
| C-Ray | I see, therefore the mythbuntu app is designed for this purpose along wih mythtv right? | 15:32 |
| C-Ray | yeah | 15:33 |
| C-Ray | very nice | 15:33 |
| C-Ray | :D | 15:33 |
| C-Ray | That's really great | 15:33 |

| C-Ray | Thanks a lot | 15:34 |
| C-Ray | :) | 15:34 |
| drubin | C-Ray: glad I could be of service | 15:38 |
| C-Ray | there is "Me TV" also for GNOME, now I just found it. Though it has limited features but still it serves. | 15:41 |

| drubin | Ok seriously I love ubuntu now | 18:14 |
| drubin | saved me years of reformatting with chntpw | 18:14 |
| pedro3005 | drubin, :D | 18:15 |
| drubin | ubuntu can hack windows 7 | 18:15 |
| robbmunson | hmm....im thinking installing every POE module I could find was an overkill idea :/ | 19:18 |
| robbmunson | at least I have everything the bot could want from the ubuntu repositories! | 19:22 |
| ibuclaw | robbmunson, well done! :) | 19:22 |
| ibuclaw | I once helped someone on the forums who installed *every* package in the repository... | 19:22 |
| ibuclaw | took him about 18 hours. | 19:22 |
| robbmunson | ibuclaw, no wonder that didnt hose his system :/ | 19:23 |
| pedro3005 | ibuclaw, only 18 hours? | 19:24 |
| robbmunson | RAM would be pegged out and the CPU would be chugging so hard it probably would shut the system down from overheating. | 19:24 |
| pedro3005 | it would take my internet connection a dozen decades to download it all | 19:24 |
| robbmunson | ive DOWNLOADED every package in the repositories before... | 19:24 |
| robbmunson | never even tried installing it all...dont think I would want to either. | 19:25 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, how big is it? | 19:27 |
| robbmunson | pedro3005, 100+ GB | 19:27 |
| robbmunson | (surprisingly small to be honest with you) | 19:27 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, still... 100gb.. damn. | 19:28 |
| robbmunson | im not saying it didnt take me 3 days to do it all pedro3005 | 19:28 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, let me do the math | 19:29 |
| robbmunson | but once you get it all downloaded its basically maintenance from there, that doesnt take too long. | 19:29 |
| ibuclaw | I thought it was about 30Gb for one release | 19:29 |
| robbmunson | ibuclaw, I had EVERY releases packages | 19:29 |
| ibuclaw | robbmunson, O.o | 19:29 |
| robbmunson | in both i386 and x64 | 19:29 |
| robbmunson | was quite fun to watch my ISP freak out :) | 19:30 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, that's about 307 Kb/s | 19:31 |
| robbmunson | mmmmhmmm | 19:31 |
| robbmunson | pedro3005, 500GB hard drive 1/5 of the way full after I got done....thats how I judged how big it all was :) | 19:33 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, why did you do it? | 19:35 |
| robbmunson | pedro3005, mostly for fun | 19:36 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, oh, I can imagine all the fun you had | 19:36 |
| pedro3005 | :P | 19:36 |
| robbmunson | and when I go on vacation I dont wanna be without some form of packages... | 19:36 |
| pedro3005 | robbmunson, it would take approximately 10 days to download it in my connection | 19:41 |
| pedro3005 | assume the speed was constantly its maximum | 19:42 |
| robbmunson | it was definitely a rough few days surfing the net on my server :) | 19:43 |

| dim705 | Hello. I've a problem with the display. After a short while in front of the computer, let's say 15 minutes, my eyes start to burn and I get headache. The view in Ubuntu is somehow blurred. The Ubuntu Version is 10.4 beta. The graphic card is Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02). I could not found the driver version. I'd be happy if someone can help me cause I like Ubuntu but in like this its somehow hard to go on. Tha | 21:57 |
| robbmunson | dim705, not to sound rude, but how old is your monitor? | 21:59 |
| dim705 | Hello robbmuson. The monitor is an almost new one. | 22:00 |
| dim705 | Itś a Samsung SyncMaster T240 | 22:00 |
| robbmunson | dim705, I ask this because even my monitor blurs up in Ubuntu.... | 22:01 |
| dim705 | robbmunson, what kind of Ubuntu do you have installed? | 22:03 |
| dim705 | Let's say what version. | 22:03 |
| robbmunson | dim705, it was on 8.04 that I had the issue. | 22:04 |
| robbmunson | dim705, and no offense to Ubuntu, but once I switched away from it, I havent had any issues with my monitor blurring. | 22:05 |
| dim705 | Yes it´s the same like with me. | 22:05 |
| dim705 | The monitor is not the problem. | 22:06 |
| dim705 | But i wonder if i've the right grafic driver installed | 22:06 |
| drubin | coolies | 22:06 |
| dim705 | Does somebody know how to find out what driver version is installed? | 22:07 |
| robbmunson | that...I have no clue dim705 | 22:11 |
| robbmunson | im just coming back to linux to be honest with you, I forgot how to do many things. | 22:12 |
| robbmunson | try lspci -v | 22:12 |
| drubin | dim705: in general intel graphics just works.. | 22:13 |
| drubin | are you sure your refresh rate is correct? | 22:13 |
| dim705 | Hello drubin, the refresh rate is currently at 60Hz. | 22:15 |
| drubin | dim705: I am not the best with graphics because I generally don't use them ;-p | 22:15 |
| drubin | hang around and maybe some one that is better then me will help you out | 22:16 |
| drubin | ibuclaw bodhizazen ping ^ graphics driver issues if you have a second | 22:16 |
| dim705 | Thank you robbmunson and drubin for your response | 22:19 |
| robbmunson | dim705, sorry I couldnt be much help... | 22:20 |
| dim705 | robbmunson, i dried lspci -v and it gives me Kernel driver in use: i915 | 22:20 |

| robbmunson | subjecting this poor soul to the fire pit so soon? :( | 22:21 |
| dim705 | Ok iĺl try it there | 22:21 |

| dim705 | i saw there are over 1400 people in that room | 22:24 |

| ibuclaw | robbmunson, have you seen the changelog for the intel driver in Linux? | 23:04 |
| robbmunson | ibuclaw, no... | 23:04 |
| ibuclaw | been quite alot of changes... | 23:05 |
| ibuclaw | well - one minor change that revealed a *big* bug with the clocksource | 23:05 |
| ibuclaw | on my netbook, currently have to boot with options i915 powersave=0 | 23:06 |
| ibuclaw | else screen will jitter once every so often before X crashes completely | 23:07 |
| robbmunson | I think I might start playing with votebots code more, add more "triggers" to it... | 23:43 |
| robbmunson | would be a great project to get me started in perl | 23:44 |
| robbmunson | hmm....I noticed something while looking at Votebot's code....its missing .info domains... | 23:54 |
| robbmunson | it fetches for titles .for com .net and .org...but when it comes to .info or any other TLD it would just ignore it. | 23:55 |
