| ouned | hi! Im using a ATI Radeon HD 4890 with the opensource radeonhd driver and i have a really weird problem with it. After i login everying is fine for about 10 minutes (seems to be random) but then hard laggs start and for example its nearly impossible to scroll in firefox. When i logg off and login again, it works for around 10 minutes again. I used glxgears and when everything is right iu have around 8000 frames / 5 seconds and when the laggs sta | 00:00 |
| Losha | jsemar: I saw your question, but i don't know the answer. Centos is usually one of the more stable oses... | 00:00 |
| Andorin | Would anybody happen to know where the KeePassX config file is kept? | 00:00 |
| necromankas | How would i set chmod +x? | 00:00 |
| Losha | ACKT1C: do you need help? | 00:01 |
| craniumslows | Improviz, During install it asks about the install location that's where you can say custom i think | 00:01 |
| Alcor | chmod +x filename | 00:01 |
| mertle | sudo | 00:01 |
| Improviz | Yeah, it has an "Advanced" button, wasn't sure about that so didn't mess with it | 00:01 |
| craniumslows | necromankas, depends on how you mounted the file /files you are modifying | 00:01 |
| necromankas | I'm trying to access a read-only folder, but i can't change the files on it. | 00:02 |
| craniumslows | Improviz, its kind of a last ditch effort if you reinstall leaving some dead space up front and it works then thats the magic | 00:02 |
| craniumslows | necromankas, you should unmount and remount with the appropriate options it'll be the easiest way IMHO | 00:02 |

| XubuntuJason | na man its still big business | 00:03 |
| XubuntuJason | yeah torrents are effective | 00:03 |
| Richie086 | I dunno seems like ur a huge target being on limewire if u share stuff | 00:04 |

| SuperMiguel | umm any of you guys having issues with firefox in ubuntu 10.04 acting very slow? | 00:10 |
| XubuntuJason | is it a usb wi-fi? | 00:10 |
| zackattack_ | thanks red2kic | 00:10 |
| doober | I used to hate sudo; now, not so much | 00:10 |
| red2kic | zackattack_: If the file have been in your directory structure for long time, you can skip the "sudo updatedb" part. | 00:10 |

| red2kic | snowhouse: We got the same hardware. Perhaps you're having issues with DNS. | 00:12 |
| Emanon | oh ok | 00:12 |
| ardchoille | Alcor: it's best to not use sudo unless it's needed. you can always run the previous command with sudo: sudo !! | 00:12 |

| Losha | red2kic: are you using the rename command? | 00:16 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: What sort of freeze? Mouse still work? keyboard lock indicators? | 00:16 |
| solider | #hungary | 00:16 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: everything, even indicators are frozen | 00:16 |
| red2kic | daniel__: It is not really a problem. You just don't like it. :) Check !root or !sudo -- I'm confident one of those guides have the option to skip passwords (but that's considered a security risk). | 00:17 |
| red2kic | Losha: I'm not familiar with rename command. | 00:17 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: was trying to wait for a minute - but nothing... | 00:17 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: That might be a hardware problem. Have you tried memtest? or trying some other OS? | 00:17 |
| Losha | red2kic: check out 'man rename' and then ask here. It's powerful but complex, but it does bulk file renaming... | 00:18 |
| magn3ts | My computer just came up and said "another user is controlling your desktop" | 00:18 |

| zaxonspox | necromancas in right upper corner search for a device select like /dev/sda (XY GB) | 00:19 |
| red2kic | Losha: the man for rename is short. :) | 00:19 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: yes, memtest - is ok, was trying to update the bios, it was posiible only under windows, also I tried 3d mark 2006, and all the time there everything was OK :( | 00:19 |
| clrg | Very_Cool: Most likely because there is no PGP key available for those packages. | 00:19 |

| * necromankas looks | 00:19 | |
| Frankie1 | Hi folks, anyone able to spare a moment to help with filesystem problems? | 00:19 |
| Very_Cool | clrg, so it's normal and I should ignor eit? (even though its from the ubuntu repositories?) | 00:20 |
| Losha | red2kic: that's because all the complexity is in the regular expressions, which are documented elsewhere. Whole books on them, actually... | 00:20 |
| clrg | magn3ts: Plug the network cable/disable wireless. Then, change your password. Then, check your logs to find out who controls your desktop. | 00:20 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: Hm, can you get it to freeze if you go to a tty? (ctrl-alt-f1) (ctrl-alt-f7 will get you back) | 00:20 |
| magn3ts | clrg well I have an ip address. | 00:20 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: Trying to find a trigger for the freeze (and ruling out other things) is the best path to start down | 00:20 |
| magn3ts | I guess I need to go lookup how to do rdns. I disabled the remote desktop sharing quickly | 00:20 |
| clrg | Very_Cool: As long as the message only appears for official repositories, I guess you can ignore it. | 00:20 |
| necromankas | I got /dev/sda 1-5 | 00:20 |
| zaxonspox | necromankas do you have something else than /dev/sda ? mayby sdb, sdc? | 00:21 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: ctrl-alt-f1 - wasn't working, should I try ctrl+alt+f7(or it just to get back from previous one)? | 00:21 |
| Very_Cool | clrg, k...thanks | 00:21 |
| necromankas | Nope zaxonspox. | 00:21 |
| clrg | magn3ts: Good. But first, cut all network to your computer, to prevent further access. You can't know what kinds of backdoors have already been installed. | 00:21 |
| * craniumslows is back | 00:21 | |
| Flannel | yura-ua: That's just to get back to the GUI from another one. Try doing it before it freezes, and try getting it to freeze there (which is just a terminal) | 00:22 |
| magn3ts | clrg, it was just using gnome's desktop sharing. they didnt have a shell or anything | 00:22 |
| zaxonspox | necromankas what size in GB do have in the corner? | 00:22 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: Oh! Anoher thing you might try is try logging in via SSH during a freeze, or see if other daemons still function (apache, or whatever) | 00:22 |
| craniumslows | Ok it's been real. Time to get my cappuccino leveled up | 00:22 |
| craniumslows | bye | 00:22 |
| clrg | magn3ts: Were you able to watch all their actions? | 00:23 |
| necromankas | zaxonspox, the Blocks are: 102400, 30617600, 30720000, 55769647+ and 55769616 | 00:23 |
| magn3ts | clrg, it popped up and I immediately disabled it. my mouse didn't even move or anything really | 00:23 |
| necromankas | It should be 4GBs though | 00:23 |
| magn3ts | I hope that disabling it in Gnome kills active connections. This is why I should be better with nstat so I could quickly tell on my onw | 00:23 |
| clrg | magn3ts: Then I guess you'll be fine. Just make sure to disable the service, if you don't want to be bothered further. Probably VNC? | 00:24 |
| red2kic | Losha: As you probably guessed, I'm not talented with regular expressions. What is wrong with this? rename 's/_\[????????\]//' *.avi | 00:24 |
| zaxonspox | necromankas so back in therminal, plug it out, then plug it in the port, and in terminal type dmesg | tail and i dont know paste it, mayby in priv | 00:24 |
| Losha | red2kic: what are you trying to do? | 00:24 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: oh, OK! I'll try ssh. What would you recommend me to replace if it wont help? (MB, graphic card(for now I use integrated in CPU), CPU...? ) | 00:25 |
| Flannel | red2kic: What are you trying to match? (do you have an example filename that you thik that should match?) | 00:25 |
| clrg | zaxonspox: your_command | pastebinit Will give you a link, post that here. | 00:25 |
| red2kic | Flannel: Sure. [Shinsen-Subs]_Blood+_46_[0476FB4E].avi | 00:25 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: I'm not sure. First thing I'd do is try and reseat everything | 00:25 |
| Flannel | red2kic: You want to just get rid of the hash thing? | 00:25 |
| yura-ua | Flannel: tried :( | 00:25 |
| zaxonspox | necromankas you have problem with filesystem | 00:26 |
| red2kic | Losha, Flannel: Trying to eliminate the last few characters without using GUI. I'm able to do mass renaming using renameutils (and qmv). It's handy (terminals are always better than GUI; ie pyrenamer) | 00:26 |
| Flannel | red2kic: try /\[.{7}\]$// | 00:26 |
| red2kic | Flannel: Yes. That's right. | 00:26 |

| robbmunson | mp3 is a restricted format, Ubuntu cannot play them by default because the codec is restricted in "transportation" to certain countries for legal reasons.... | 01:15 |
| Flannel | yura-ua: But you can use ssh to help diagnose stuff. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but I guess one way to start would be killing processes (and seeing if any of them look like they're misbehaving) | 01:15 |

| limpc | yes i have. its not been helpful | 01:22 |
| limpc | most are using software raid. | 01:22 |

| fruitwerks | yura-ua ssh in and chvt 1 | 01:23 |
| yura-ua | fruitwerks what is chvt 1 ? | 01:23 |
| snowhouse | I get E: broken packages | 01:23 |

| M1ck3y | Hello all! Does anyone know a way to configure ubuntu to boot into just a terminal? | 01:23 |
| crucialhoax | snowhouse: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:24 |
| snowhouse | does it make any difference that i just pulled them off my ipod? | 01:24 |
| yura-ua | fruitwerks: ok, RTFM I've got it ;) | 01:24 |
| inglor_ | limpc, what raid chipset? | 01:24 |
| ACKT1C | birdhouse? | 01:24 |
| yura-ua | fruitwerks: I'll try, thank you | 01:24 |
| inglor_ | yura-ua , what graphics card do you use? | 01:24 |
| Frankie1 | When I try to boot I get an error saying "General error mounting filesystems", when I do "sudo mountall" at the shell it starts normally. Any ideas? | 01:24 |
| crucialhoax | snowhouse: nope. | 01:25 |
| yura-ua | inglor_: core i3 + intel h57, integrated to the CPU | 01:25 |
| limpc | inglor_: im not sure. its on-board. the SATA controller is AMD SB850 | 01:26 |
| limpc | motherboard is GA-890GPA-UD3H | 01:26 |
| inglor_ | limpc, now that's helpful :) | 01:26 |

| antistrange | anyone? elantech touchpad recognized as ps2/wheelmouse? | 01:29 |
| Alcor | dave sudo find -name filename -print | 01:29 |
| inglor_ | limpc, that's an AMD motherboard, you're not using core i3 :P anyway you need to download a driver for it to work, | 01:30 |
| limpc | i didnt say i was. yura-ua did | 01:30 |
| inglor_ | limpc, I used to have a link to the gigabyte sata raid driver, one sec | 01:30 |
| yura-ua | :) | 01:30 |
| limpc | inglor_: how do i use it during install? its a bare system | 01:30 |
| crypt-0 | Amarok 2.2 can not access the internet. anyone know why? | 01:31 |
| limpc | would it be easier to just give in and use software raid? | 01:31 |
| peterwang | Hey guys. How do you select a default theme for Plymouth? | 01:31 |
| inglor_ | limpc, if you software raid you lose raid benefits | 01:31 |
| limpc | right | 01:32 |
| limpc | so how do i load a third party raid driver during boot from an install cd/ | 01:32 |
| limpc | havent done anything like that before | 01:32 |

| ACKT1C | hi | 01:35 |
| inglor_ | limpc, the odd thing is that he sees it as disk smaller than 2 tb, if it was just the raid you could have used dmraid to get it to work after installation probably | 01:35 |

| limpc | alternative cd install? | 01:37 |
| Flare-Laptop | !alternative | limpc | 01:38 |
| ubottu | limpc: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | When accessing a work site designed for FireFox it says it also requires Java Console .. which FF rejects with the current version (daily build).. Is that because it's the daily build of FF? or another reason? | 01:38 |

| limpc | theres no alternate that i saw for the server version | 01:38 |
| phani | Hi.. I have hardy 8.04 version and I can play videos on your tube and I can hear the audio. When I connect the usb headset i can't hear audio from youtube..any suggestions what might be the problem. Also, I can hear the sounds from headset when i play test sounds and i configured headset as default soundcard.. any suggestions please... | 01:39 |
| inglor_ | limpc, apperantly the liveCD install process does not support raid as well, | 01:39 |
| moogler | heh | 01:39 |
| === amos is now known as amos81 | ||
| inglor_ | limpc, also, apperantly your hardware doesn't really have a raid chip but uses the processer to accomplish that, so you might as wall use softRAID | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | phani: usb headsets were a pain on Hardy.. perhaps less so with the next LTS release | 01:40 |
| limpc | hmm | 01:40 |
| extor | hardware raid is overrated, software raid is underrated | 01:40 |
| inglor_ | that depends solely on wether your hardware raid utilizes its own processor or uses the cpu | 01:41 |
| phani | Scunizi : so, there is no way to have configure USB headset on hardy then ? So, am I out of luck then ? | 01:41 |
| Frankie1 | Ubuntu 9.1 seems to crash to a black screen 3 out of 4 times when I try to boot with different errors. Can anyone help me track this down? | 01:41 |
| crypt-0 | Amarok 2.2 can not access the internet. anyone know why? | 01:41 |
| inglor_ | Frankie1, has it always been this way or did you install something recently | 01:42 |
| limpc | inglor_: i think however, that even if the on-board RAID controller actually uses the processor to handle RAID, it'd still be cheaper (as in less overhead clocks) than using software raid | 01:42 |
| === asami is now known as cityhunter | ||
| Frankie1 | inglor_: Fresh install more or less. | 01:42 |
| limpc | e.g. 20 clock cycles for HW versus 300 for software | 01:42 |
| Scunizi | phani: no.. not necessarily. It's just that with some headsets it was much more difficult then others.. That's about as much as I know about it.. check the forum or the community wiki docs | 01:42 |
| Frankie1 | inglor_: It was throwing an error "General error mounting filesystems" and dropping to console, but does not always do so. | 01:43 |
| phani | Scunizi : thank you... i will give a try in finding the docs | 01:44 |
| Alcor | Frankie1 Do you run fsck afrer the crash? | 01:44 |
| inglor_ | limpc, that would have been true had it actually been hardware, there are no additional levels, software raid is done at kernel level. since there is no raid-dedicated processor there isn't supposed to be a difference | 01:44 |
| Frankie1 | Alcor: fsck appears to run afterward and throws up nothing, sometimes it boots correctly, mostly it either black screens or throws the filesystem error again. | 01:45 |
| inglor_ | Frankie1, more or less? are you dual booting btw? | 01:45 |
| Frankie1 | More or less as in it is inconsistent. I am not dual booting. | 01:45 |
| Alcor | thks | 01:45 |
| Frankie1 | If it boot to recovery console, then login and startx it works fine. | 01:46 |
| The_Serpent | hi, when i installed ubuntu i didn't get it enough hard drive space. so im thinking ill just need to reinstall it. what is the easiest way to do this? (im on a netbook so i dont have an optical drive) | 01:47 |
| The_Serpent | give* | 01:47 |
| ACKT1C | more space? | 01:48 |
| inglor_ | Frankie1, so 1/4 times it boots correctly and when you boot to recovery it works 4/4? | 01:48 |
| Frankie1 | inglor_: Yes. | 01:48 |
| The_Serpent | or maybe a way to increase the partition | 01:48 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, you can inscrease the size of a partition without formatting | 01:49 |
| greezmunkey | All: interesting hardware vs software benchmark test: http://www.linux.com/news/hardware/servers/8222-benchmarking-hardware-raid-vs-linux-kernel-software-raid | 01:49 |

| GhostFreeman | Is there anything like gparted for terminal? | 01:49 |
| The_Serpent | how do i increase the size | 01:49 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, either way you can install it from a USB disk https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 01:50 |

| jef91 | I am using Gnome Network manager with KDE, anyone know how I can make it store wifi keys? It isn't by default :-/ | 01:51 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, partition magic can resize partitions, you're aware of that right? just remember to keep the swap ;) | 01:51 |
| The_Serpent | well when i opened it it didn't show the right partitions | 01:52 |

| The_Serpent | ok, im not actually confident ubuntu is installed onto a partition per se | 01:52 |
| inglor_ | ACKT1C, run xterm | 01:53 |
| The_Serpent | what i did was i chose to install it into windows when i installed it | 01:53 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, I am unfarmiliar with that form of installation, does it boot into linux or do you open it from windows? | 01:53 |
| The_Serpent | it just seemed like the easiest option...i just dont want to mess anything up doing something wrong since windows and linux are on the same partition | 01:54 |

| ACKT1C | neat | 01:54 |

| inglor_ | The_Serpent, are you using linux | 01:54 |
| The_Serpent | there was an option that read "install into windows" | 01:55 |

| guest59768 | any helpers available? just dont want to butt in if busy. but I could use some advice/help | 01:57 |
| death_wish322000 | hello | 01:57 |
| The_Serpent | what is LVPM? sorry to be such a newb lol | 01:58 |
| inglor_ | nisstyre65, why would you do that | 01:58 |
| nisstyre65 | inglor_: because I replace xfwm with openbox | 01:58 |
| nisstyre65 | so I want to get rid of xfwm | 01:58 |
| nisstyre65 | but not xfce | 01:58 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, it's a program that does just that, migrates "in windows" ubuntu to a dedicated partition... I still strongly suggest a fresh install | 01:58 |

| jef91 | kyuss Upgrade/downgrade to a different version? | 01:59 |
| inglor_ | nisstyre, and why would deleting it get rid of xfce? | 01:59 |
| kyuss | will try thanks | 01:59 |
| The_Serpent | ok how do i do a fresh install? lol | 02:00 |
| nisstyre65 | inglor: it says the following packages will be removed, and lists the core xfce package | 02:00 |
| nisstyre65 | I guess it's not a huge deal | 02:02 |
| nisstyre65 | I just want to save space | 02:02 |
| robbmunson | nisstyre65, as far as I know thats a meta-package...anybody know for sure? | 02:02 |
| inglor_ | nisstyre65, that does not make since apt is coded to only get rid of packages other programs are not using.. | 02:03 |
| * robbmunson doesnt want to give you bad advice and "hose" your system....... | 02:03 | |

| === sky__ is now known as eveningsky | ||
| inglor_ | Knightingale, it's just one folder, the easiest way would probably be to just back it up and clean-install | 02:08 |
| guest59768 | inglor: are you familiar with the game nquake? | 02:08 |
| Knightingale | inglor i would like to do that, tho i don't have anything big enough to store it :/ | 02:09 |

| guest59768 | ya | 02:09 |
| guest59768 | technically called Quake 1 | 02:09 |
| Alcor | yep | 02:10 |
| guest59768 | Quakeworld etc etc | 02:10 |
| inglor_ | Knightingale, gah, if it's really that big of a deal you can create a different partition for it, move it there and mount the home folder in ubuntu to that partition... but it's VERY messy | 02:10 |
| solexious | my ubuntu server isnt on bst, how can I set it an hr ahead? | 02:10 |
| guest59768 | im trying to install it but it crashes out | 02:10 |
| inglor_ | or you could just create a new partition, move home contents there, and move it back after the format | 02:10 |
| Knightingale | inglor, oh okay i'll try borrow a backup drive then | 02:10 |
| guest59768 | alcor: permission to private message would be easier to explain the problem? | 02:11 |

| The_Serpent | inglor - to do a fresh install do i just simply run the file again in windows and install it again? | 02:12 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, no | 02:12 |
| guest59768 | aye, ive had it working before.. but it always errors out on downloading the zips.(maps, demos, shareware) | 02:12 |
| The_Serpent | how do i do a fresh install then? | 02:12 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, you need to get the ubuntu LiveCD, and click install there, that would make linux an actual operating system on your computer | 02:12 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, I strongly suggest to have another computer available during the installation for support if you've never installed an operating system before | 02:13 |
| The_Serpent | i dont have an optical drive...on a netbook | 02:13 |
| guest59768 | its possible to make a bootable ubuntu usb thumb drive | 02:14 |

| psycho_oreos | guest59768, yes via using unetbootin | 02:14 |
| strange | you can do it in the install gui too | 02:14 |

| The_Serpent | guest - i have no idea lol | 02:20 |
| Guest58655 | im newbie alcor please explain answer | 02:21 |
| guest59768 | afaik you have to select dynamic expanding drive, when u create the virtual hdd.. or it will only be as big as you specify when install | 02:21 |
| nisstyre65 | halim; sudo chmod +rwx /var/www | 02:21 |
| nisstyre65 | or maybe I misunderstood your question, do you already have samba? | 02:22 |
| Alcor | Guest the eject works on mine, -- go to terminal and type eject 0 or eject 1 | 02:22 |
| PunchyPanther | that was on stipulation i left out. Although, I think that is the default when you first install. | 02:22 |
| The_Serpent | oh ok well i guess its only as big as it is then cause i dont think i did that. i didn't even realize what the 17gb i set was going to be for lol | 02:22 |
| BlubbTec | nisstyre65: +rwx means read write execute? | 02:22 |

| BlubbTec | nisstyre65: i had to install samba packages myself | 02:25 |
| guest59768 | nis: he should install the samba GUI from the ubuntu software manager makes it 100x easier | 02:26 |
| BlubbTec | they prompted to install when i used the sharing folders functions | 02:26 |
| nisstyre65 | oh, weird I thought samba came preinstalled | 02:26 |
| nisstyre65 | ah, so it isn't working then? | 02:26 |
| halim | Guest58655, did you try typing "eject" in console, and watch your cd rom drive if something happens | 02:26 |
| inglor_ | nisstyre65, ubuntu does not come installed, it's in the repos though | 02:26 |
| Guest58655 | computer file browser shows drive but i cant open it | 02:26 |
| guest59768 | you have to eject/ or unmount it | 02:26 |
| kenjy | inglor_: I need the output of date +%B in spanish, If I add es_ES or es_MX I can do LANG=es date +%B and get this value in spanish | 02:26 |
| ACKT1C | device conflict | 02:26 |
| halim | nisstyre65, i installed samba, but i don't know how to share the folder | 02:26 |
| vinicius_ | i need some help about running 32bit assembly code on a 64bit system, any refference or comment is welcome | 02:26 |
| guest59768 | halim send private msg | 02:27 |
| nisstyre65 | vinicius_; I'm not an expert, but you should be able to right? just use less memory... | 02:27 |
| Guest58655 | how do i open my cd rom drive my eject button on my laptop does not work with ubuntu.. | 02:27 |

| kenjy | inglor_: tryed this with no luck https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3707 | 02:28 |
| inglor_ | vinicius, completely different syntax :P very different | 02:28 |
| The_Serpent | ugh when i try to open unetbootin it says there are no applications installed that can read that file type lol | 02:28 |
| halim | Guest58655, type "eject" in console, without quotes | 02:28 |
| Guest58655 | eject button does not work on my laptop anymnore with ubuntu | 02:28 |
| nisstyre65 | vinicius_; is it something you coded yourself? Or are you just trying to compile it? | 02:28 |
| samc | Guest58655: if the CD is mounted, it'll prevent the drive from ejecting | 02:28 |
| kenjy | inglor_: fixed | 02:28 |
| samc | right-click on the CD icon on the desktop, then click 'Unmount' or 'Eject' | 02:28 |
| vinicius_ | nisstyre65, i coded myself and im trying to find a way to compile | 02:28 |
| inglor_ | kenjy ? | 02:28 |
| vinicius_ | nisstyre65, ive been useing a 32bit system remotely till now | 02:29 |
| kenjy | inglor_: fixed =) es_MX.UTF-8... done | 02:29 |
| kenjy | Generation complete. | 02:29 |
| Guest58655 | in computer file browser there is an icon for my cdrom drive but i csant open it | 02:29 |
| vinicius_ | inglor, i know... =P | 02:29 |
| inglor_ | kenjy :) | 02:29 |
| BlubbTec | Guest, try right-clicking on that icon and choose unmount or eject | 02:29 |
| Guest58655 | when i right click there is no option to umount or eject | 02:30 |
| kenjy | inglor_: look at this pal =) # LANG=es_MX.UTF-8 date +%B | 02:30 |
| kenjy | abril | 02:30 |
| The_Serpent | when i try to run unetbootin it just says this "There is no application installed for executable files" | 02:30 |
| nisstyre65 | vinicius_; I found this with a quick google http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2500362/running-32-bit-assembly-code-on-a-64-bit-linux-64-bit-processor-explain-the-a | 02:30 |
| ACKT1C | sups | 02:31 |
| inglor_ | vinicius, what do you mean by "run" assembly code? you mean run programs already compiled w/ 32 bit assembly, or you mean compile the 32 bit code for 64 bit processors? | 02:31 |
| kazagistar | The_Serpent: did you get the statically linked executable from the sourceforge site, or the one in the repos? cause the one in the repos failed for me... | 02:31 |
| davidcramer | Can someone explain how I enable multiverse on jaunty? i c/p'd the universe lines and replaced universe with multiverse, but I'm not seeing the unrar package :) | 02:32 |
| davidcramer | oh wait i might know why | 02:32 |
| nisstyre65 | inglor: he already said he wants to compile it for the 64 bit system | 02:32 |
| The_Serpent | kazagistar - i have no idea i just googled it and went to the first site on the list lol | 02:32 |
| davidcramer | bah, anyone have the url to jaunty multiverse | 02:33 |
| Guest58655 | how do i open my cd rom drive ??? my eject button on laptop no longer works | 02:33 |
| The_Serpent | ok it was from sourceforge...still didn't work i guess | 02:33 |
| davidcramer | nvm I'm a noob | 02:33 |
| kazagistar | The_Serpent: ok, and then you downloaded, did a chmod +x, and ran it with sudo? | 02:33 |
| BrandonSheppard | Guest58655, type 'eject' in terminal | 02:33 |
| The_Serpent | what the is a chmod +x and sudo? lmao | 02:34 |
| inglor_ | !chmod | 02:34 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 02:34 |
| nisstyre65 | The_Serpent; chmod changes the permissions on a file so you can execute it like a .exe on windows | 02:34 |
| mrp | oblems rehgarding laptop speakers? | 02:34 |
| inglor_ | ~sudo | 02:34 |
| inglor_ | !sudo | 02:34 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 02:34 |
| The_Serpent | oh lol...how do i do that? | 02:34 |
| ACKT1C | tar.gz | 02:35 |
| nisstyre65 | The_Serpent; you know how windows has the ability to change files from read only to writeable? chmod does the same thing, but you can also make those files executable | 02:35 |
| nisstyre65 | and you can change who gets to do them | 02:35 |
| The_Serpent | oh ok let me try to figure this out here then lol | 02:36 |
| mertle | ACKT1C: still going at it I see :) | 02:36 |
| The_Serpent | this will surely go over well... | 02:36 |
| ACKT1C | its somethin todo i think | 02:37 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, if it's that much trouble you can order a disk on key preloaded with ubuntu, | 02:37 |
| ACKT1C | no $ | 02:37 |
| kazagistar | ... or you can learn a little about your system :P | 02:37 |
| bazhang | ACKT1C, please stop that | 02:37 |
| The_Serpent | im poor lol | 02:37 |
| The_Serpent | im working on the learning lol | 02:37 |
| The_Serpent | stupid bein poor...making me learn... | 02:38 |
| PunchyPanther | The_Serpent needs someone to give him a call via Skype so he can share his screen and get a walkthrough. who is up for it. | 02:38 |
| inglor_ | no skype, no mic, no cam :P | 02:38 |
| hiexpo | no skype | 02:39 |
| The_Serpent | i dont have skype either lmao | 02:39 |
| The_Serpent | does that require the monies? | 02:39 |
| mertle | hehe | 02:39 |
| kazagistar | so yeah, "chmod +x unetbootin-linux-429" makes it executable, and "sudo ./unetbootin-linux-429" runs it as an administrator, so it is allowed to write to your flash drive freely | 02:39 |
| PunchyPanther | http://www.skype.com/ its free! | 02:39 |
| The_Serpent | so can i just copy what you wrote? | 02:39 |
| kazagistar | er, not quite | 02:40 |
| inglor_ | kazagistar, he is attempting to create the live usb from within windows | 02:40 |
| stopsign | s their doc's on getting grub to boot pc-bsd ? | 02:40 |
| chrometiger | skype to skype = free . . . skype to phone = monies lol | 02:40 |
| inglor_ | (or so I think) | 02:40 |
| kazagistar | oh, oops | 02:40 |
| The_Serpent | well if worse comes to worse ill just dl skype | 02:40 |
| The_Serpent | oh ok i see that makes sense | 02:40 |
| solexious | how can I echo yesterdays date? | 02:40 |
| The_Serpent | well i attempted to create it in windows. now im in linux | 02:41 |
| inglor_ | linux has an automated tool called ubuntu live usb creator | 02:41 |
| kazagistar | inglor_: he already tried, usb-creator is too buggy | 02:41 |
| tawm | i'm trying to setup didiwiki and when i try to start it i get "Attempting to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000 .. Failed" do I need to modify some system file to allow it to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000? | 02:41 |
| The_Serpent | hmm...so how do i open this command line... | 02:42 |
| distatica | 8.04 LTS still the recommended for production servers? | 02:42 |
| inglor_ | run xterm | 02:42 |
| hiexpo | sudo apt-get moo | 02:42 |
| nisstyre65 | lol | 02:42 |
| djbeenie_ | anyone having issues with firefox 3.6? | 02:43 |
| djbeenie_ | it keeps crashing on me | 02:43 |
| djbeenie_ | it started after update this morning | 02:43 |
| inglor_ | djbeenie, tried reinstalling? | 02:43 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, but kazagistar said you've already tried usb-creator from ubuntu | 02:43 |
| nisstyre65 | hiexpo; have you seen the bug report someone filed for apt-get moo ? | 02:43 |
| djbeenie_ | inglor, how do you try re-installing | 02:43 |
| hiexpo | no | 02:43 |
| mickster04 | hey all, i am using ubuntu server and trying to add "screen irssi" at the beginning of rc.local, i have changed this to "su mike; screen irssi" will this work without breaking the boot? | 02:43 |

| inglor_ | djbeenie, from graphical interface or command line? | 02:44 |
| hiexpo | nisstyre65, really | 02:44 |
| tawm | i'm trying to setup didiwiki and when i try to start it i get "Attempting to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000 .. Failed" do I need to modify some system file to allow it to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000? | 02:44 |
| kazagistar | inglor_: I just used unetbootin to make a bootable drive 2 min ago in ubuntu | 02:44 |
| nisstyre65 | yeah hiexpo https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/56125 | 02:44 |
| The_Serpent | inglor - i did..it didn't work. i also tried partition magic in windows..didn't work lol | 02:44 |
| djbeenie_ | inglor, perfer command line | 02:44 |
| The_Serpent | i just cant get unetbootin to open so i gotta do this command line stuff lol | 02:44 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, I meant usb-creator, the special tool ubuntu has for that :P | 02:44 |
| hiexpo | nisstyre65, lol doesn't look like a cow lol | 02:45 |
| inglor_ | djbeenie, sudo apt-get remove firefox , followed by sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:46 |
| djbeenie_ | sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:46 |
| djbeenie_ | cool thanks! | 02:46 |
| The_Serpent | i used it. it displays a error on my drive | 02:46 |
| tawm | when i try to start a program with a built in webserver i get "Attempting to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000 .. Failed" do I need to modify some system file to allow it to bind to that ipaddr? | 02:46 |
| djbeenie_ | still learning the apt-get..used to gentoo | 02:47 |
| stopsign | is their doc's on getting grub to boot pc-bsd ? | 02:47 |
| mickster04 | tawm: what program? | 02:47 |
| tawm | mickster04: didiwiki | 02:47 |
| hiexpo | !bsd | 02:47 |
| tawm | mickster04: i've been poking at google for an answer but i'm not feeding it the right terms | 02:48 |
| inglor_ | stopsign, and how is that ubuntu related... anyway just google "grub pc bsd", it's the first answer there | 02:48 |
| vegar_ | I have a pulseaudio server on my network which announces its sound devices over zeroconf. Sometimes, the sound server doesnt show up in the gnome sound preferences, even if they show up in pulseaudio device chooser. Why is that? | 02:48 |
| stopsign | well not too much out been searchin for days lol | 02:49 |
| GhostFreeman | How do I show what my default editor is | 02:49 |
| jrib | GhostFreeman: depends what you mean by that really | 02:49 |
| GhostFreeman | terminal editor | 02:49 |
| The_Serpent | is terminal what i need to use sudo? | 02:49 |
| GhostFreeman | emacs, vim, nano, et al | 02:49 |
| stopsign | update-grub dont see it | 02:49 |
| jrib | GhostFreeman: why? | 02:49 |
| GhostFreeman | Because I like to use vim | 02:50 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, yes | 02:50 |
| GhostFreeman | that's all. | 02:50 |
| jrib | GhostFreeman: so you just want to know how to change it? | 02:50 |
| The_Serpent | what do i type? | 02:50 |
| inglor_ | stopsign, pfft, http://faqs.pcbsd.org/index.php?action=artikel&artlang=en&cat=16&id=10 | 02:50 |
| GhostFreeman | jrib: the EDITOR value? yes | 02:50 |
| djbeenie_ | ok I re-installed firefox and it's still locking up | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | does the USB-Creator in Karmic create a persistant install or just an installable USB? | 02:50 |
| nisstyre65 | installable usb I think | 02:50 |
| tawm | when i try to start a program with a built in webserver i get "Attempting to bind to 0.0.0.0:8000 .. Failed" do I need to modify some system file to allow it to bind to that ipaddr? | 02:50 |
| nisstyre65 | you can create a persisten one though (I just did) | 02:50 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, what problem has unetbootin given you? | 02:51 |
| jrib | GhostFreeman: well to change it system-wide you can use « sudo update-alternatives --config editer ». For your user,set the EDITOR environment variable to whatever you want | 02:51 |
| jrib | s/your user/just your user | 02:51 |
| GhostFreeman | Ok, thanks. | 02:51 |
| inglor_ | bastid_raZor, it creates a liveUSB that can be used to create a persistant install | 02:51 |
| The_Serpent | when i try to open the file in the downloads folder it says "There is no application installed for executable files" | 02:51 |
| ACKT1C | ! | 02:51 |
| hiexpo | whatis the file | 02:51 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent... you can't open a .exe inside linux... | 02:52 |
| Guest58655 | i need help with this answer at this websight...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EjectCDLauncher | 02:52 |
| Guest58655 | can anyone help me?? | 02:52 |
| The_Serpent | so i need t | 02:52 |
| The_Serpent | o do the s | 02:52 |
| hiexpo | !ask | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:52 |
| The_Serpent | udo thing | 02:52 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, you have to run UNetbootin inside windows, either that or get usb-creator | 02:52 |
| elaich | Hi | 02:52 |
| The_Serpent | oops sorry lol | 02:52 |
| elaich | can i get help here ? :p | 02:52 |
| kitty_ | i have a really stupid problem, network routing issues that make my wireless adapter get "ping: sendmsg error: opperation not permitted" errors | 02:52 |
| kitty_ | anyone think they're up to explaining to me what i'm doing wrong with the route command? | 02:53 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; it's a permissions problem | 02:53 |
| hiexpo | !ask | 02:53 |
| kitty_ | even if i do it as root | 02:53 |
| calum | OK my internet connection is still repeatedly dropping. It must be the config on here. Anyone help? | 02:53 |
| vegar_ | calum: wifi? | 02:53 |
| inglor_ | The_Serpent, you can get unetbootin for linux, but it's a different version, sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 02:53 |
| calum | vegar_: Yes, wireless router with dhcp server | 02:53 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; how are you managing the connection? Network Manager? | 02:54 |
| kitty_ | if i dhclient eth0, it takes presidence over my dialup connection and nothing goes out, and if i route del default gw 10.0.0.1, i get this problem | 02:54 |
| vegar_ | calum: I had a wireless router which did that all the time, I updated the firmware.. problem solved | 02:54 |
| kitty_ | i never could get network manager applet to work, always gives me error about the adapter not being found | 02:54 |
| hiexpo | oh thank heaven for wrt54g | 02:55 |
| calum | vegar_:My router recieves automatic updates. So far I was told not to use wicd network manager so I have gone back to standard but it still does it | 02:55 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; then don't dhclient eth0 ? | 02:55 |
| vegar_ | calum: check the logs, do "tail /var/log/messages" .. see what happens when it drops | 02:55 |
| nisstyre65 | I assume since you're on dialup, you're using a different connection | 02:55 |
| kitty_ | even if i set the ipconfig manually instead of using dhclient i still can't send anything over the interface | 02:55 |
| Guest58655 | i need help with this answer at this websight...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EjectCDLauncher | 02:56 |
| nisstyre65 | so you do not want eth0 | 02:56 |
| elaich | Hi, i run ubuntu netbook remix in my Aspire One, but it hangs sometimes when starting .. | 02:56 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; type ifconfig and paste the output to pastebin.com | 02:56 |
| kitty_ | no really i kindof want eth0 cause thats on the wireless network with the rest of the computers | 02:56 |
| calum | vegar_:Additional information: I have an extremely strong signal, I am very close to the router. So wait until next drop and check the logs? | 02:56 |
| elaich | anybody knows why ? | 02:56 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; eht0 stands for ethernet 0 | 02:56 |
| nisstyre65 | you are using dialup right? | 02:57 |
| mickster04 | elaich: with that amount of info probably not | 02:57 |
| vegar_ | calum: yeah, it could give you a clue about what's happening.. it's probably either your router or your wifi driver, either case you're kind of bummed until a new driver/firmware comes out :/ | 02:57 |
| The_Serpent | dude | 02:57 |
| The_Serpent | that is so awesome | 02:57 |
| limpc | inglor_: i found something interesting | 02:57 |
| calum | vegar:_Its strange, none of the other desktops/laptops connected to the router have this issue | 02:57 |
| inglor | limpc, oh? | 02:58 |
| The_Serpent | i typed that line of code you gave me kaz | 02:58 |
| limpc | inglor_: turns out the 1.7tb was 1.7gb, not tb, and it was recognizing my flash drive | 02:58 |
| The_Serpent | so awesome | 02:58 |
| vegar_ | calum: then it might be your wifi controller.. do "lspci" and search for your wifi controller to see if someone else has problems | 02:58 |
| limpc | inglor: none of the HD's were being recognized. | 02:58 |
| elaich | mickster04, it hangs when i choose ubuntu entry, i have a black screen | 02:58 |
| inglor | limpc, haha... | 02:58 |
| limpc | inglor: so now im faced with an interesting problem. bios recognizes all the HD's but ubuntu doesnt | 02:59 |
| elaich | mickster04, sometimes it works with the option apm=off or acpi=off but not always | 02:59 |
| elaich | :/ | 02:59 |
| iflema | bastid_raZor a live image with the ability to save changes and a livecd/usb.... it does do both..... theres a radio button to select this | 02:59 |
| calum | vegar_:Atheros driver. I don't know if it has issues but I will look into it | 02:59 |
| vegar_ | limpc: try an "sudo fdisk -l" see what it tells you | 03:00 |
| Flannel | ACKT1C: Please stop being offtopic in this channel. | 03:00 |
| limpc | vegar_: its a new install, im at the installation screen. | 03:00 |
| inglor | limpc, does it also not see the hds if you choose not to use raid in the BIOS? | 03:00 |
| The_Serpent | ok i got unetbootin up now | 03:00 |
| limpc | inglor: yes, it did not find them. but it could be because the sata's themselves were marked as raid? | 03:00 |
| vegar_ | limpc: CTRL+ALT+F1 will give you a console i'm guessing | 03:00 |
| inglor | The_Serpent, now just follow the instructions in the tutorial | 03:00 |
| The_Serpent | what version of ubuntu do i want? i have the netboot remix | 03:00 |
| The_Serpent | these options dont make sense to me | 03:01 |
| elaich | The_Serpent, plug your usb stick and run unetbootin | 03:01 |
| vegar_ | calum: good luck, stuff like that is not fun.. it should "just work" | 03:01 |
| The_Serpent | ok lol | 03:02 |
| elaich | The_Serpent, the select iso .. | 03:02 |
| calum | vegar_:Do you know how I check if there are updates for the driver? | 03:02 |
| kitty_ | nisstyre65, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qcm8Udcs | 03:02 |
| inglor | limpc, I suggest you toy a bit with the bios, I don't have much experience with SATA raids (still have an old SCSI raid somewhere lol) so I'm not sure if they have those annoying pins on the HDDs you have to move | 03:02 |
| [biabia] | does ubuntu install prep the browser with java and flash, or if not is it fairly easy to install? | 03:02 |
| limpc | vegar_: interesting. they show up in fdisk -l | 03:02 |
| inglor | [biabia], it is fairly easy to install | 03:02 |
| nisstyre65 | yeah kitty_ you need to follow the instructions for setting up dialup, anything with "eth0" is not what you want, you want ppp0 | 03:03 |
| vegar_ | calum: is it madwifi? | 03:03 |
| calum | [biabia]:You have to install java/flash and it is easy | 03:03 |
| limpc | all 4 drives show up as 2000.4 Gb drives | 03:03 |
| vegar_ | limpc: are they 2000.4 gb drives? | 03:03 |
| limpc | why cant the install see them then? | 03:03 |
| calum | vegar_:Nope | 03:03 |
| limpc | yes. 2Tb each | 03:03 |
| seurgey | can anybody help me set up a VPN on ubuntu sever? | 03:03 |
| kitty_ | so done with that nisstyre65 ? | 03:03 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; it looks like your dialup connection is working | 03:03 |
| vegar_ | limpc: sounds very odd, what happens if you try manual partitioning in the installer? | 03:03 |
| seurgey | anyone? | 03:03 |
| [biabia] | inglor and calum ok. thanks much! im presently using 30 day trial of redhat, and while flash was pretty easy to get working, java not so much | 03:03 |
| kitty_ | yeah it is, but i can't access anything on my network cause i can't connect to it through the router | 03:03 |
| vegar_ | limpc: you can go back to installer with CTRL+ALT+F7 | 03:04 |
| vegar_ | calum: what driver then? | 03:04 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; so you want to connect to the internet with a modem, and access a router with your ethernet cable/card? | 03:04 |
| inglor | [biabia], don't really see why anyone would want to pay for linux for home use... | 03:04 |
| seurgey | hellp? | 03:04 |
| nisstyre65 | or am I misunderstanding you | 03:04 |
| kitty_ | sure if thats what makes it easier for you to understand | 03:04 |
| seurgey | can anyone help me set up VPN on ubuntu? | 03:04 |
| calum | vegar_:It says broadcom ATI Technologies | 03:05 |
| seurgey | for iphone trafic? | 03:05 |
| inglor | !VPN | 03:05 |
| ubottu | For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 03:05 |
| [biabia] | inglor not paying just wanted to try it, i have used fedora before and really i dont see the difference other than the supposed support | 03:05 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN seurgey please see this | 03:05 |
| calum | vegar_:The info in lspci is somewhat confusing.. | 03:05 |
| seurgey | i have.... | 03:05 |
| limpc | vegar_: it lets me edit them manually via fdisk | 03:05 |
| kitty_ | i have dialup, shared to a wired/wireless access point, but everyone connects on the far side of the router so i can't access anything on their computers | 03:05 |
| The_Serpent | can i format my flash drive in ubuntu? | 03:05 |
| inglor | [biabia], yep :) | 03:05 |
| seurgey | ive used google... | 03:05 |
| LetsGo67 | I am having a lot of problems browsing the Web with DansGuardian! Someone help plesae! | 03:05 |
| hiexpo | yes | 03:05 |
| limpc | vegar_: however it does complain that th epartitions have invalid flags (0x0000) | 03:06 |
| inglor | The_Serpent, yes | 03:06 |
| vegar_ | limpc: yes, but if instead of the guided partitioning, you click manual partitioning in installer.. what happens? | 03:06 |
| The_Serpent | i gotta put the iso on there but i | 03:06 |
| The_Serpent | dont know how to format it | 03:06 |
| limpc | vegar_: i tried to find that option but it only lets me detect drives or partition and partition doesnt give me a manual option | 03:06 |
| [biabia] | what is the other main type of linux besides debian | 03:06 |
| limpc | perhaps because its not detecting the drives | 03:06 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that as I've never had to do it personally | 03:06 |
| inglor | LetsGo67, this really isn't a DansGuardian support chat, what seems to be the problem though | 03:06 |
| hiexpo | right click on it hit format | 03:06 |
| calum | vegar_:So far I have found Atheros communications INC AR928X WIreless network adapter | 03:07 |
| seurgey | I'm trying to set up a VPN server for my iphone on ubuntu server, not connect to a VPN :/ | 03:07 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 03:07 |
| The_Serpent | it doesn't give me the option. i can only open and mount it | 03:07 |
| kitty_ | so do you know howto setup a static route in the routing table to ONLY accept destinations of 10.0.0.X and pipe them through a specific iface ? | 03:07 |
| inglor | [biabia], www.distrowatch.com , I strongly suggest ubuntu though, it has the largest community, and the most software (since it's debian based) :), updates easy, user friendly, etc | 03:07 |
| nisstyre65 | kitty_; you can use iptables to do that | 03:08 |
| nisstyre65 | not sure of the rules exactly | 03:08 |
| nisstyre65 | see if that article has what you need | 03:08 |
| vegar_ | calum: do "lsmod" see if you can find anything resembling a wifi driver, like e.g ath9k | 03:08 |
| calum | seurgey: Make sure tcp port 1723 is open on the server | 03:08 |
| [biabia] | inglor ok, thanks | 03:08 |
| The_Serpent | its the flash drive that i made into a bootable but doesn't work right | 03:08 |
| The_Serpent | now it wont let me format it in linux | 03:09 |
| The_Serpent | er ubuntu | 03:09 |
| vegar_ | limpc: that's odd.. i always get the manual option even though my disks are fubar | 03:09 |
| calum | vegar_:It says something like ath9k 258744 | 03:09 |
| seurgey | I would appreciate a guide, I've looked arround the internet for a while and I havent got much, my server is currently a laptop connected to my network via WiFi, and its DMZ, I have a domain for it, and I currently with to setup a VPN for it so when I'm out and away, I can connect my iPhone to the internet via my VPN | 03:09 |
| vegar_ | calum: then that's your wifi driver | 03:09 |
| vegar_ | calum: check out this project: http://madwifi-project.org/ | 03:10 |
| vegar_ | calum: maybe they have a better/more recent driver | 03:10 |
| calum | vegar_: Thanks, I will have a look | 03:10 |
| jzacsh | hello, can someone suggest a fix for this failed attempt: mv $(find ./ -name '*\.txt') $(find ./ -name '*\.txt' | sed s'/txt/html/'p) --- i get this error: mv: target `./mozartbio.html' is not a directory - incase you can't tell: i'm trying to rename every file with .txt to .html | 03:10 |
| The_Serpent | can i use sudo to format the flash drive? | 03:10 |
| seurgey | ? | 03:11 |
| vegar_ | The_Serpent: sudo only elevates privileges | 03:11 |
| White-Horse | hi guys anyone here know what i can use to make a slide show with affects and music on ubuntu 9.04 32-bit ? | 03:11 |
| inglor | White-Horse, you can use open office for that | 03:11 |
| seurgey | White-Horse I'd suggest moving to the #ubuntustudio channel | 03:11 |
| myrl | HELLO I CANT MOUNT A NTFS PARTITION | 03:11 |
| calum | WHite-Horse: Use OpenOffice.org impress, its like Microsoft Powerpoint slideshow program | 03:11 |

| ubottu | myrl: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 03:12 |
| seurgey | so can anyone help me with my VPN? | 03:12 |
| limpc | myrl: mount -t ntfs | 03:12 |
| LetsGo67 | inglor: pages that display blank or claim incorrect encoding. However, blocked pages indicate "access denied" instead. | 03:12 |
| inglor | White,Horse, applications -> office -> Open Office Presentation | 03:12 |
| myrl | yeah it doesn't work | 03:12 |
| limpc | then you dont have ntfs support compiled in | 03:12 |
| limpc | what error do you get | 03:12 |
| White-Horse | ok thank you guys | 03:12 |
| myrl | exit code 1 | 03:12 |
| The_Serpent | i could just go into windows and format the drive but i dont know what format type i should use | 03:12 |
| seurgey | myrl: mount -f | 03:12 |
| inglor | LetsGo67, dansguardian has its own IRC channel, they'll probably help you more | 03:12 |
| seurgey | can anyone help me set up a VPN server? | 03:13 |
| je2345 | hello | 03:13 |
| seurgey | specifically pptpd | 03:13 |
| vegar_ | myrl: why do you have to mount it manually, do they not show up in "Places"? | 03:13 |
| limpc | vegar_: when i have it detect my disks, it detects that there's a raid configuration in place. it asks if i want to activate serial ATA Raid devices. I select yes. then it takes me to the partitioning screen | 03:13 |
| NPerez | the only problem I've had with mounting NTFS is when Windows hasn't been shut down properly - that can make it unmountable I believe | 03:13 |
| limpc | i only see an option to configure iscsi volumes, undo changes, finish, go back | 03:13 |
| myrl | nope | 03:13 |
| limpc | theres no option for manual | 03:13 |
| limpc | theres no volumes listed | 03:13 |
| jsjc | when it comes to basic things i am a bit stupid... I am creating a bash script that I want cron to exec but I need to know as which user cron execs that file?? root??? | 03:14 |
| vegar_ | limpc: I'm no RAID expert :/ | 03:14 |
| myrl | vegar_ it doesn't | 03:14 |
| seurgey | jsjc: chmod +x to make it executable | 03:14 |
| inglor | The_Serpent, what you're trying to accomplish is beyond your current understanding of ubuntu. I strongly suggest to either read about the basics (like what a su is, permissions, liveCD etc), or follow the tutorial 100% blindly | 03:14 |
| vegar_ | jsjc: you can use your own crontab, or you could use the cron.daily/hourly/whatnot for root to exec | 03:15 |
| seurgey | anyone know how to set up a pptp server? | 03:15 |
| jsjc | seurgey: yes i know but cron will run it as root? Because in this script there is ssh and scp command that need to be exec as root so the private keys work | 03:15 |
| vegar_ | seurgey: I hear the intarwebs have great guides on that | 03:15 |
| robbmunson | Jsjc yes it will :) | 03:15 |

| The_Serpent | what format type do i need to make the flash drive? | 03:26 |
| vegar_ | seurgey: try #ubuntu-server, they might be able to help you | 03:26 |
| seurgey | ok, thanks | 03:26 |
| calum | The_Serpent: Are you putting 9.10 install on USB? | 03:26 |
| The_Serpent | actually im putting the netbook remix | 03:27 |
| robbmunson | katsuodo, well considering you want a desktop environment and the kernel is well...just that... I really and truly can almost bet money on the fact its not gonna change things in the actual kernel environment. | 03:27 |
| calum | I think the format would have to be ext4 | 03:27 |
| dallyboy | say ive got all my music in my Music folder, then subdirectories as artist/album ...i have album art in all my folders, but i want to rename all the JPG files...is there a way to change the name of every JPG in a directory? | 03:27 |
| The_Serpent | k thanks | 03:27 |
| katsuodo | thanks robbmunson | 03:28 |
| V3RR3Z | I was wondering how I get UBUNTU to use my DUALCORE | 03:28 |
| jrib | dallyboy: change to what? | 03:28 |
| Snookie1 | i installed ubuntu, and on the cd test it asked me about my network propietary drivers, thought i would install it after defining my partition, but now im just left with a broadcom_wl.py and .pyc | 03:28 |
| red2kic | jrib: I think he want a same name for all *jpg in different subdirectories. | 03:28 |
| dallyboy | i want to change them all to "folder.jpg" so rockbox will recognize them on my ipod | 03:28 |
| jrib | V3RR3Z: you shouldn't need to do anything | 03:29 |
| vegar_ | dallyboy: you could make a bash or python script for it | 03:29 |
| V3RR3Z | jrlb alright then thanks | 03:29 |
| robbmunson | Katsuodo, the only way I believe it would do anything would be installing a said meta-package like ubuntu-desktop....(that includes a BUNCH of stuff that you really arent looking for from what I can tell.) | 03:29 |
| dallyboy | that was the idea, i just dont have a clue what command to use | 03:29 |
| Snookie1 | how can i install my network drivers? | 03:29 |
| jrib | dallyboy: so there is no more than one jpg in a directory? | 03:29 |
| dallyboy | im gonna say no....shouldnt be at least | 03:30 |
| vegar_ | :p | 03:30 |
| red2kic | dallyboy: A command can do the job. Furthermore, there are a nice mass-renaming GUI you could use: pyrenamer | 03:30 |
| jrib | dallyboy: and by "folder", do you literraly mean "folder" or do you mean the name of the folder it is in? | 03:30 |
| sine_ | guys im after an audio recorder, simple one bit like what comes with ubuntu but i want the option of being allowed to pause whilst recording so i can stop to think then upause and carr on recording. this built in one wont allow it, only allowing me to save the current recording. i used to use audacity for windows which was nice freeware, actually i might try looking for that for linux, any suggestions still welcome | 03:30 |
| dallyboy | just folder.jpg...rockbox then reads them as the album art consistently instead of sometimes | 03:31 |
| calum | Hey, erm is there any good game creation software in Ubuntu? I have one but its really a world editor. Is there software that will allow me to create scenes etc with custom animations? One that is simpler than blender? | 03:32 |
| lang882000 | Hi all | 03:33 |
| garic | im trying to setup ircd-hybrid with hybserv2. the ircd works, but hybserv does not, i found this error message in the logs: "Server Error: Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Invalid servername.)" What server name does it mean, where do i change that? | 03:33 |
| nisstyre65 | garic; there must be an option somewhere to configure the hostname or servername | 03:33 |
| nisstyre65 | and you forgot to configure it | 03:33 |
| tm0 | Hi i am having trouble with the minimal install. It doesn't like my ethernet cable or my wifi. Any solutions? | 03:34 |
| vegar_ | calum: tried the new blender alpha ver? | 03:34 |
| Flannel | tm0: Grab the alternate CD and use that instead | 03:34 |
| katsuodo | robbmunson does make difference if *.iso or line command xubuntu-desktop? | 03:34 |
| vegar_ | calum: blender really is the bestest most awesomest out there! | 03:34 |
| calum | vegar_:Blender looks too confusing. I know it can create animations but can you import custom characters into say, my world editor? | 03:35 |
| jrib | dallyboy: find -iname '*.jpg' -execdir mv -i '{}' folder.jpg \; just make sure you run it in the right place... | 03:35 |
| ACKT1C | ! | 03:35 |
| vegar_ | calum: it has multiple import/export formats, so .. yes? :p | 03:35 |
| tm0 | Flannel is that the usual installer? | 03:36 |
| red2kic | !alternative | tm0 | 03:36 |
| ubottu | tm0: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 03:36 |
| vegar_ | tm0: use a different ethernet cable? :p | 03:36 |
| calum | vegar_:The one I'm using I think allows you to import characters with python scripts. But I don't know python :( I'm a c++ guy. | 03:36 |
| Flannel | tm0: It's the minimal CD with packages included on the CD so you can install wihtout a network connection | 03:36 |
| robbmunson | katsuodo, im honestly not sure... | 03:36 |
| dallyboy | jrib: may i PM you? | 03:36 |
| blacksunseven | anything for ubuntu similar (either gui or terminal) to this http://www.tentaclesoftware.com/products/whs/diskmanagement ? | 03:37 |
| idefine | how do I determine the keycode for the function key on my laptop? | 03:37 |
| jrib | dallyboy: better to just use the channel | 03:37 |
| garic | nisstyre65, i am pretty much confused with the huge configuration files. In hybserv.conf i didnt find anything with servername. What make it think that its invalid? and what are these C/N lines? and M lines? :S | 03:37 |
| dallyboy | ok | 03:37 |
| vegar_ | calum: if you know c++, you'll learn python in minutes.. and you'll be loving every minute | 03:37 |
| dallyboy | so i just need to cd to my music directory, and then run that? | 03:37 |
| nisstyre65 | garic; I've never set up that ircd before, so I can't tell you. | 03:37 |
| jrib | dallyboy: yeah | 03:37 |
| vegar_ | calum: anywho, only nonstandard imports/exports will be scripted externally | 03:37 |
| nisstyre65 | You'll have to search it | 03:37 |
| nisstyre65 | ie: google it | 03:38 |
| calum | vegar_:Basically what I want to do is: Create world, create custom characters, create story scenes with effects and animations, then test it | 03:38 |
| PunchyPanther | i get the impression that FreeBSD is some hardcore Unix | 03:38 |
| jrib | dallyboy: the -i will make it so it will ask you if it wants to overwrite something (at which point you should kill the script and figure out why it wants to) | 03:38 |
| nisstyre65 | PunchyPanther; if by hardcore you mean awesome, then yes, yes it is. | 03:38 |

| kempy | anyone help | 03:39 |
| vegar_ | calum: I dont work much with animations, but entire movies have been made with blender | 03:39 |
| kempy | i have winedorrs | 03:40 |
| bazhang | kempy, give complete details, all on one line please | 03:40 |
| calum | vegar_:Does blender allow you to create cutscenes with the computer playing the scene, then you gain control as a character? | 03:40 |
| calum | vegar_:And let me guess: Avatar? :) | 03:41 |
| kempy | ok i am trying to run medalof honour and have installed wine-doors now how do i load it | 03:41 |
| vegar_ | calum: To be honest, I don't know everything about blender but check out Blender Game Engine | 03:41 |
| kempy | so i can play it | 03:41 |
| bazhang | kempy, and you checked the appdb and also asked in #winehq ? | 03:41 |
| bazhang | !appdb > kempy | 03:41 |
| ubottu | kempy, please see my private message | 03:41 |
| doober | Anyone know why I can't update tzdata in Ubuntu Netbook Remix? Update Manager is failing. | 03:41 |
| Smegzor1 | I have an Nvidia 6200 AGP and managed to get compiz effects enabled, but it doesn't list anything when I try to enable hardware drivers? Should hardware drivers be available for a 6200 card? | 03:41 |
| garic | can any1 else help me with the "Invalid servername" that i am getting with hybserv2? | 03:41 |
| vegar_ | calum: Try YoFrankie, it's been made with blender game engine | 03:42 |
| calum | vegar_:The good thing is the world creator can be integrated with blender. The only problem is getting it to import and animate characters, I can create worlds easy however.. | 03:42 |
| John__ | anyway to update ubuntu w/o having to reboot? | 03:42 |
| DaZ | John__: update and don't reboot? :f | 03:43 |
| red2kic | Smegzor1: If you are able to get compiz effects enabled without any drivers (or nothing are listed), then you probably are good to go already. | 03:43 |
| tm0 | Can i choose LXDE using WUBI? | 03:43 |
| vegar_ | DaZ: lol :p | 03:43 |
| John__ | well it always says reboot now orl ater, so I'm sure it says it for a reason | 03:44 |
| red2kic | John__: New kernels, perhaps. | 03:44 |
| vegar_ | John_: that's usually when a new kernel's been installed | 03:44 |
| calum | Or driver updates | 03:44 |
| John__ | how can I get it to load the new kernel w/o reboot | 03:44 |
| jrib | John__: the only time you *have* to reboot is if you get a new kernel. Otherwise, it's usually enough to reload X or maybe reload a certain module (but it's easier for ubuntu to just tell you to reboot) | 03:45 |
| red2kic | John__: You can;t. | 03:45 |
| DaZ | he can | 03:45 |
| bazhang | John__, not possible unless you mean ksplice | 03:45 |
| John__ | that isn't free is it? | 03:45 |
| jrib | John__: why do you ask that? | 03:45 |
| John__ | I heard somethign about a program like that that you had to pay for | 03:46 |
| bazhang | John__, whom are you addressing, and why do you wish to avoid rebooting | 03:46 |
| calum | Probably because of windows constant reboots | 03:46 |
| dallyboy | jrib: thanks for your help | 03:46 |
| jrib | dallyboy: no problem | 03:46 |
| John__ | idk, just wondering if any OS is really "reboot free" (and of course keep up to date) | 03:46 |
| John__ | exactly! | 03:46 |
| garic | I am trying to configure hybserv2 to work with ircd-hybrid, but i am getting this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ABPJa0J4. I dont know what i did wrong with my configuration. Can anyone help me? | 03:46 |
| John__ | windows = piss you off with reboots ever 4 minutes | 03:46 |
| John__ | and have some shit pop up "HEY FUCKTARD REBOOT, HIT RESTART LATER TO BE PISSED OFF IN ANOTHER 2 SECONDS" | 03:47 |
| calum | Windows can't even stay up with standard updates | 03:47 |
| jrib | John__: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksplice but I doubt you want to use this if you are asking here about it... Please watch the language | 03:47 |
| bazhang | John__, no cursing here | 03:47 |
| bigtom21485 | yeah, you watch your pirate h***er mouth | 03:47 |
| John__ | sorry windows just angers me | 03:47 |
| bigtom21485 | hows everyone doing tonight | 03:47 |
| calum | Your not the only one | 03:47 |
| vegar_ | !your | 03:47 |
| vegar_ | no? | 03:48 |
| vegar_ | aww | 03:48 |
| bigtom21485 | John_: I dont have windows anymore, thankfully | 03:48 |
| bigtom21485 | John_: what is it doing to you? | 03:48 |
| calum | Windows makes me wanna throw ur comp out the window :( | 03:48 |
| calum | sorry my* | 03:48 |
| John__ | I need windows for gaming and a few number of other thigns | 03:48 |
| bigtom21485 | calum: dont be jealous because linux solves all the problems just from existing :-D | 03:48 |
| Smegzor1 | John__: I reboot every 10 days on average. You can use ksplice to avoid rebooting, but its not essential that a home pc never reboots. You can simply choose to reboot when it suits you. | 03:49 |
| calum | bigtom21485:Actually I'm using linux to get back at Microsoft | 03:49 |
| bigtom21485 | John_: you can game on a console, everything else you can do with linux ;-) | 03:49 |
| calum | And cause its awesome | 03:49 |
| John__ | I know I was just curious if I could never reboot for the novelty | 03:49 |
| bigtom21485 | calum: i think bill gtes lost to mac a long time ago | 03:49 |
| John__ | game console = controller..., pc = keyboard + mouse | 03:49 |
| bazhang | bigtom21485, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:50 |
| John__ | plus xbox 360 = more money to microc*ck | 03:50 |
| calum | I quit using windows on my laptop after the conficker worm | 03:50 |
| jrib | John__: stop with the language... | 03:50 |
| John__ | wasn't that last year? | 03:50 |
| IdleOne | John__: please watch your language, this is a family channel | 03:50 |
| calum | And actually Linux solves a lot of security issues | 03:50 |
| bazhang | calum, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:50 |
| bigtom21485 | alright everybody chil i dont want you guys getting booted | 03:50 |
| calum | Sorry, I wasn't going to go futher... | 03:50 |
| kempy | i can't use the game help | 03:50 |
| bigtom21485 | bazhang: ill stop. | 03:50 |

| bazhang | kempy, did you follow my instructions yet | 03:51 |
| mrp | I have forgotten my password buy im logged in as the user at the momment what can I do? | 03:51 |
| John__ | dont log out | 03:51 |
| vegar_ | ever! | 03:51 |
| mrp | :( | 03:51 |
| John__ | ksplice isn't free is it? | 03:52 |
| John__ | doesn't that go against the whole linux philosophy | 03:52 |
| bazhang | John__, check their website | 03:52 |
| tm0 | Can i choose LXDE using WUBI? | 03:52 |
| calum | All Ubuntu software is free,,, | 03:52 |
| vegar_ | Linus didn't make ksplice | 03:52 |
| dbravender | John__: the ksplice tools are free as far as I understand | 03:52 |
| vegar_ | yeah, wikipedia says it's free.. so it must be | 03:53 |
| calum | Unless you want to go back to Micro$oft... | 03:53 |
| Andorin | Does apt have an option that lets you uninstall a given package AND its dependencies? | 03:53 |
| dbravender | John__: they charge a monthly fee to subscribe to kernel patches | 03:53 |
| ceil420 | Andorin: apt-get autoremove | 03:53 |
| John__ | kinda lame | 03:53 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: I think aptitude does it automagically | 03:53 |
| dbravender | Andorin: try dpkg [package] --purge | 03:53 |
| ceil420 | Andorin: there's also purge for config files and such | 03:53 |
| garic | does anyone know what the C/N lines in an ircd server configuration are supposed to be? I am (attempting to) setting up ircd-hybrid | 03:54 |
| Smegzor1 | John__: Don't worry about ksplice, just reboot FOR FREEDOM! | 03:54 |
| dbravender | Smegzor1: :-) | 03:54 |
| John__ | ya for sure! | 03:54 |
| AaronM | uggg anyone in here good with setting up alsa to cooperate with laptop sound cards? | 03:54 |
| Smegzor1 | John__: you can always move the mouse and reboot - for old times sake. | 03:55 |
| mrp | is there anyway t change the current users password without knowing it ? | 03:55 |
| AaronM | i have an acer 4540 that wont detect my headphones and plays out both | 03:55 |
| ceil420 | mrp: now why would you want to go and do a thing like that? | 03:55 |
| vegar_ | mrp: unless you have sudo access through another user or happen to have a root shell open, you have to boot into single user mode | 03:55 |
| calum | mrp: As far as I know you always have to provide password conformation for that | 03:55 |
| calum | ceil420: Hacker much? | 03:56 |
| ceil420 | heh | 03:56 |
| mrp | is it shift still to get grub menu up? | 03:56 |
| ceil420 | ESR would have something to say about your usage of the term.. | 03:56 |
| mrp | in 20.04 | 03:56 |
| mrp | 10.04 | 03:56 |
| jhirley__ | when is 10.04 going GA ? | 03:57 |
| calum | This is the wrong channel for Lucid support... | 03:57 |
| dbravender | John__: I read ksplice's paper when they were on Slashdot a couple of months ago and most of the patches between kernels can be updated without any effort but some of them change data structures and require a programmer to write a data migration script. basically, you are paying ksplice for that if you choose to pay for their service. | 03:57 |
| bazhang | mrp, explain what you are trying to do and your rationale please | 03:57 |
| mrp | I need to boot into single user mode to reset my password to get the grub menu I hold shift during boot correct? | 03:57 |
| John__ | o ok but the software is free that is a fair trade | 03:57 |
| John__ | thank you for enlightening me dbravender | 03:57 |
| calum | Fair trade ftw. | 03:57 |
| ceil420 | what init level is single user mode? | 03:58 |
| John__ | M$ != fair_trade; | 03:58 |
| calum | lol | 03:58 |
| dbravender | John__: you're welcome :-) | 03:58 |
| lakeoftea | i'm trying to unrar all files that are in a certain directory? what would i enter into bash to do such a thing. i have the program unrar installed | 03:58 |
| vegar_ | ceil420: it's a kernel parameter | 03:59 |
| calum | int billgatessbank = $50000000+... | 03:59 |
| ceil420 | lakeoftea: unrar e somefile.rar | 03:59 |
| bazhang | calum, John__ #ubuntu-offtopic please | 03:59 |
| John__ | um | 03:59 |
| John__ | shouldn't that be float billgatesbank;? | 03:59 |
| John__ | ok sorry | 03:59 |
| jrib | lakeoftea: do they all end in .rar? | 04:00 |
| LinuX2half | Why does firefox freezes whenever I'm visiting a flash website? | 04:00 |
| ceil420 | lakeoftea: something like: for i in * ; do unrar e $i ; done | 04:00 |
| ceil420 | lakeoftea: if your responce to jrib's query is affirmative | 04:00 |
| jrib | lakeoftea: for x in *.rar; do unrar e "$x"; done I suppose | 04:01 |
| calum_ | Is there an offtopic channel on this server? | 04:01 |
| dbravender | LinuX2half: what version of flash do you have installed? | 04:01 |

| LinuX2half | However the issue just had happen today | 04:03 |

| LinuX2half | Hm? This sort of issue had never happen before, just when I upgrade it to 3.6.4 beta | 04:04 |
| jordanl | i searched through forums and bug reports and, although i found other people with a similar error message, their solutions haven't worked | 04:04 |
| jimi__ | I have firefox 3.5.9 and flash is very slow | 04:04 |
| ceil420 | jimi__: flash is very slow | 04:05 |
| jordanl | any ideas? (i'm in a busybox shell right now) | 04:05 |
| ceil420 | jimi__: bit of a misnomer, really | 04:05 |

| today1 | hi every one, i have a trouble with ubuntu software center , that mean: i cant install any app from that windows,can you help me plzz? | 04:05 |
| ceil420 | calum: you have to wait a few minutes for the bot to voice you | 04:05 |
| calum | ceil420: Like 2 or 3 mins? | 04:06 |
| bazhang | calum, be patient, nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 04:06 |

| bazhang | tm0, have you tried? | 04:07 |
| bazhang | today1, which version of ubuntu | 04:07 |
| jordanl | please, if someone can help me out i would be grateful. i've been grinding through this for days now. | 04:07 |
| Andorin | ceil420: That doesn't do it. | 04:07 |
| today1 | bazhang: i use Karmic | 04:07 |
| bazhang | today1, was there a question about that | 04:07 |
| tm0 | Bazhang, i'd rather not waste the bandwidth | 04:07 |
| ceil420 | Andorin: apt-get remove dep1 dep2 dep3 ... depN :x | 04:07 |
| today1 | i have a trouble with ubuntu software center , that mean: i cant install any app from that windows,can you help me plzz? bazhang | 04:07 |
| LinuX2half | Is this issue resolvable? | 04:07 |
| Andorin | ceil420: We are dealing with a huge list of dependencies for multiple packages, and that's not a particularly viable solution. | 04:08 |
| bazhang | tm0, my guess would be yes. install lxde or lubuntu-desktop if you wish | 04:08 |
| mrp | I have changed my user login passwd via single user mode now it is saying my keyring doesn't have the same password how do i fix that? | 04:08 |
| Andorin | ceil420: Ubuntu Studio has screwed up several of her programs (Rhythmbox, Gimp, Pidgin, for example) and we need it removed, all of it, because we do not know what is causing the segfaults. | 04:08 |
| bazhang | today1, how about from terminal | 04:08 |
| today1 | bazhang: can you help me plzz? | 04:08 |
| tm0 | Bazhang, Lubuntu has many bugs i am told. I was told that installing directly LXDE from a minimal works well thoughl | 04:08 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: apt-get autoremove will remove any unneeded dependencies | 04:08 |
| bazhang | tm0, no minimal wubi that I know of. | 04:09 |
| today1 | wiht synaptic, every thing is OK, but not with ubuntu software center | 04:09 |
| bazhang | today1, sounds like a possible bug. care to file against it? | 04:09 |
| tm0 | Bazhang, i mean installing from the minimal was suggested. | 04:09 |
| ceil420 | Andorin: nuke and reinstall? :x do you have ~ on a separate partition? | 04:09 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: Then why is it that when she installed Ubuntu Studio, she downloaded several hundred MB of packages and dependencies, but when she ran autoremove it only pulled out a fraction of that? | 04:09 |
| bazhang | tm0, you are asking about wubi though | 04:09 |
| Andorin | ceil420: She doesn't have the resources to resintall. | 04:09 |
| Andorin | reinstall* | 04:09 |
| bazhang | tm0, minimal and wubi are very different | 04:10 |
| tm0 | Bazhang i know. | 04:10 |
| ceil420 | the resources? | 04:10 |
| today1 | what does that mean bazhang, can you explain again ? | 04:10 |
| vegar_ | the know-how | 04:10 |
| aliciapg | does anyone know how to get fullscreen flash working in firefox? | 04:10 |
| tm0 | Minimal is when you have no programs, and have to install the WM or you just get CML | 04:10 |
| ceil420 | vegar_: isn't that what #ubuntu's for? :p | 04:10 |
| bazhang | today1, if it does not work, it could be a bug | 04:10 |
| Andorin | ceil420: She doesn't have storage space to back up her files. | 04:10 |
| tm0 | WUBI installs from within windows. I'd assume WUBI wouldn't install all the crap a regular install does | 04:11 |
| ceil420 | aliciapg: i don't have any problems with it in Iceweasel 3.0.6 | 04:11 |
| jordanl | i just did a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install and the first boot fails with a message like "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long uuid> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" | 04:11 |

| z1y | hello all. How to skip dependencies when install a package by apt-get? | 04:11 |
| ceil420 | aliciapg: debian's firefox re-brand | 04:11 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: When I remove a package with aptitude, it removes all dependencies.. try to aptitude install the package, then aptitude remove it again.. dunno if it works though | 04:11 |
| bazhang | tm0, well as there is no lubuntu iso, then no wubi with lxde unless you explicitly install it later. | 04:12 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: if the dependencies do not get removed, she might have installed something later which also depends on the same stuff | 04:12 |
| aliciapg | ceil420: so install that? | 04:12 |
| tm0 | bazhang which is what i needed to know. Thank you. I must find another way to install it. | 04:12 |
| Andorin | vegar_: She says she hasn't installed anything since installing Ubuntu Studio. | 04:12 |
| dbravender | z1y: why do you want to skip dependency checking? the app won't work without its dependencies | 04:12 |
| bazhang | tm0, pushed back until sometime after lucid release apparently | 04:12 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: then try aptitude install the package and aptitude remove it again | 04:13 |
| ceil420 | aliciapg: i'm just showing one case where i personally have no issue with flash. it may be my debain amd64 install, or my particular flash version | 04:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: how did she install ubuntu studio? | 04:13 |
| today1 | may be i will remove complete "ubuntu software center" then i reinstall it bazhang? do you thing how? | 04:13 |
| z1y | dbravender: winefish requires texlive but I already had texlive installed (from CD). | 04:13 |
| dasidaz | is there anyway that I can use color lettets passively? | 04:13 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: Through apt. She ran apt-get install ubuntustudio-[various metapackages] | 04:13 |
| Andorin | vegar_: What's the point of running aptitude install ubuntustudio-* if it's already on her system? | 04:13 |
| bazhang | today1, that wont fix any bugs. perhaps file a bug against it, use synaptic (and avoid it) or use the command line to install packages | 04:13 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: if it's already there, skip the install aprt | 04:14 |
| vegar_ | part* | 04:14 |
| tm0 | Bazhang, who has? | 04:14 |
| bazhang | tm0, the lubuntu team and ubuntu/canonical I am guessing. | 04:14 |
| today1 | ^^, i see this support: " rung sudo dpkg --configure -a to fix it" can you check for me,is that right bazhang? | 04:14 |

| kempy | i can't play it | 04:15 |
| Andorin | vegar_: Clarify. Do you suggest aptitude autoremove or aptitude remove $package_name? | 04:16 |
| bazhang | kempy, /join #winehq and check the appdb | 04:16 |
| kempy | where do i check that | 04:16 |

| bazhang | http://appdb.winehq.org kempy check that link, search for your game | 04:16 |
| dbravender | z1y: why not install the version of texlive from the repository? that way you can be certain that it will all work together | 04:16 |
| z1y | dbravender: texlive on ubuntu is 2008, while I have a cd of 2009 :) | 04:18 |

| Andorin | bastid_raZor: What I just said | 04:20 |
| dbravender | z1y: I see... how did you install it? If you install it with debian tools it will satisfy the dependency and then it will also be easy to uninstall | 04:20 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: what doesn't work after she removed everything? | 04:21 |
| Andorin | But vegar_: That didn't work either. Didn't remove anything at all. | 04:21 |
| dbravender | z1y: and upgrade :-) | 04:21 |
| Andorin | vegar_: Three apps she has trouble with are Pidgin, Rhythmbox and GIMP | 04:21 |
| Cleaverroot | ubd: sorry called Power Management not settings. It's under System>Prefs | 04:21 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: what are the troubles? | 04:21 |
| ubd | allright Cleaverroot ill find it | 04:21 |
| z1y | dbravender: thank you :) | 04:21 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: you said she installed multiple ubuntustudio-'metapackages' | 04:22 |
| dbravender | z1y: if you run ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall in the directory it should satisfy the dependency | 04:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: if so, then do `apt-get purge ubuntustudio-'metapackages'` | 04:23 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: Exactly as you just wrote? | 04:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: no. replace metapackages with the ones she manually told it to install. | 04:24 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: or use ~ as a wildcard | 04:24 |
| Andorin | vegar_: Well, Rhythmbox segfaults on startup, GIMP segfaults when she tries to actually do anything with it, and Pidgin just seems to be randomly segfaulting. | 04:24 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: if she just installed ubuntustudio-desktop then the howto removal should get rid of those. | 04:24 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: Nope, I think she individually installed the metapackages. | 04:25 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Well, you can do "sudo apt-get purge pidgin rhythmbox gimp && sudo apt-get autoremove" | 04:25 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorin: you had stated she installed various metapackages for ubuntustudio.. then that means she would need to purge each of those to get rid of them. | 04:25 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: I... think she HAS purged them... | 04:26 |
| Andorin | bastid_raZor: But it won't get rid of the several hundred MB of dependencies. | 04:26 |
| theadmin | Woah OMG Pidgin has a skype plugin O_O | 04:26 |
| Andorin | And no she hasn't installed anything since installing Ubuntu Studio so there's nothing else that depends on the software packages we are trying to remove. | 04:26 |
| ubd | do i need swap? | 04:26 |
| Golumm | After updating to 9.10, Ubuntu doesn't mount my partitions except one of them. I looked at fstab and they were missing. I manually edited but nothing happened... | 04:26 |
| dbravender | theadmin: I think it requires that Skype be running... so it's pretty pointless IMHO | 04:26 |
| emergion | hey all I am trying to modify an xp iso | 04:26 |
| bazhang | emergion, ##windows | 04:27 |
| emergion | bazhang, no | 04:27 |
| bazhang | emergion, how does that relate to Ubuntu support praytell | 04:27 |
| vegar_ | emergion: mount it with the loopback thingamajig | 04:28 |
| kempy | ? | 04:28 |
| emergion | When I opened the iso with archiver I can see the directories and files but all I see is underscores and no names | 04:28 |
| emergion | So it works I just cannot read anything | 04:28 |
| vegar_ | it works, but it doesn't | 04:28 |
| emergion | vegar yes its very frustrating | 04:28 |
| vegar_ | emergion: maybe it's corrupted? | 04:29 |
| emergion | I doubt that | 04:29 |
| vegar_ | microsoft products tend to do that.. | 04:29 |
| emergion | Oh they are crap | 04:29 |
| emergion | but I MUST run windows for something and I want it on a USB HDD so I can keep my ubuntu | 04:30 |
| ubd | emergion: buy a hd | 04:30 |
| phani | hi, I have hardy 8.04 and logged into Gnome and i don't have restart or shutdown options in quit menu.. any suggestions please... | 04:30 |
| danopia | is `ruby` version 1.9.1 in 10.04? | 04:30 |
| theadmin | emergion: And how about partitioning the real hard drive and installing windows on the new partition? | 04:30 |
| vegar_ | emergion: you can try to mount it with the loopback thingamajig as I said, see if it works | 04:30 |
| ceil420 | phani: whip out a terminal and use the shutdown command | 04:30 |
| emergion | ubd, I only have a laptop | 04:30 |
| emergion | which has room for one HDD | 04:31 |
| bazhang | emergion, trouble running windows? this is not an Ubuntu issue. please /join ##windows for windows support | 04:31 |
| ceil420 | phani: "shutdown -hP now" to power down, or "shutdown -r now" to restart | 04:31 |
| ceil420 | phani: (must be root/sudo) | 04:31 |
| ubd | emergion then resize the existing partitions then install windows on free space | 04:31 |
| emergion | ah nevermind | 04:31 |
| vegar_ | phani: CTRL+ALT+F1 , then CTRL+ALT+DELETE | 04:31 |
| phani | ceil420: yeah i do that everytime by running but is there a way to get that options back ? | 04:31 |
| bribroder | emergion: i think the loopback thing is with "-o loop" | 04:31 |
| j_ | ubuntu have some problem with my laptop | 04:31 |
| danopia | ceil420, what's the difference between `halt`/`reboot` and those commands | 04:31 |
| Andorin | Yo, guys? My friend's system is still in trouble. Nothing is removing the dependencies for these Ubuntu Studio packages. We have ran apt-get autoremove, apt-get --purge autoremove, etc. We really do not want to individually have to remove every single package, because there are thousands of packages that were installed, and she cannot reinstall her system. | 04:31 |
| ceil420 | phani: ah, i dunno. i do everything from the terminal anyway :p | 04:31 |
| vegar_ | danopia: halt halts, reboot reboots | 04:32 |
| emergion | It is much cooler to have windows running on a USB drive of its own | 04:32 |
| ceil420 | danopia: knowing Linux, `halt` and `reboot` probably call `shutdown`. you'd have to RTFMs | 04:32 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Oh, OH. tasksel will help you (do "sudo tasksel") | 04:32 |
| emergion | You guys just seem to have lost the cool hacking spirit that linux users used to have | 04:32 |
| ceil420 | emergion: you're the one trying to run Windows :p | 04:32 |
| emergion | Just to dominate windows in such a way that it is like a toy on a USB drive it awesome | 04:32 |
| Snookie1 | i tried running linux from a usb | 04:33 |
| Andorin | theadmin: What will this do, exactly? I'm looking at it atm | 04:33 |
| Snookie1 | well, ubuntu | 04:33 |
| today | i have a trouble with Ubuntu software center, when i click to some app , i see this message " canonical does not provide updates for XXX, some updates may be, provided by the Ubuntu community, Could You Help Me Plzz? | 04:33 |
| theadmin | Andorin: It's a metapackage manager | 04:33 |
| vegar_ | emergion: your feeble attempts to appeal to our vanity won't work | 04:33 |
| ubd | emergion cant you use virtualbox? | 04:33 |
| Snookie1 | and it made havok with the system boots xD | 04:33 |
| bribroder | emergion: what's your question anyway? why don't you virtualize windows within ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| j_ | what is the comand to check what videoc ard i ahve? | 04:33 |
| ceil420 | root, probably shouldn't be running an irc client as root | 04:33 |
| bastid_raZor | today: how is that an error? it is just a statement | 04:33 |
| === root is now known as Guest48893 | ||
| emergion | ubd, yeah I could try it though I really need as many resources as possible | 04:34 |
| theadmin | j_: something like "lspci | grep video"? | 04:34 |
| emergion | I am not just running office | 04:34 |
| ceil420 | j_, lshw | 04:34 |
| Andorin | theadmin: So... this will let her do... what? I see "You can choose to install one or more predefined collections of software." Will this reset the packages on her system? | 04:34 |
| emergion | I have used vbox several times and it is great | 04:34 |
| ceil420 | j_: shows you all your hardware :) (and yeah, you can do like `lshw graphics` or something to just see gpu; it's not exactly that tho, rtfm) | 04:34 |
| emergion | infact I have it running now with Freebsd I really like it | 04:34 |
| ubd | youll need vtx support for enabling multicore on virtualbox | 04:34 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Well, if you remove ubuntustudio with tasksel, it will also drag away all packages that came with it | 04:34 |
| today | bastid_raZor: that mean: i cant install any app from ubuntu software center ( its freeze when i click Install Button) | 04:35 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | I know its the wrong channel for it, but no one seems to be paying attention in the WineHQ channel.. Anyone feel like helping me with a Wine issue? | 04:35 |
| ToStItOs | Status where are u | 04:35 |
| vegar_ | today: try installing something with apt-get, see what happens | 04:36 |
| vegar_ | Melwasul_GIlrean: just ask | 04:36 |
| today | vegar_: , bastid_raZor everything is OK with apt-get, and synaptic, but i wonder about what is problem | 04:36 |
| vegar_ | today: I have no idea | 04:37 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | Figured I'd ask that before I get pointed to that channel.. Well, up until maybe 3 hrs ago I was able to play Ultima online with very little problems(crashes here and there but i got used to them). | 04:37 |
| emergion | bribroder, the loop thing worked thanks mate | 04:37 |
| vegar_ | emergion: hey.. i suggested that.. praise me | 04:37 |
| lakeoftea | i have dual monitor and when i center a background it goes right in the middle of the 2 monitors. is there anyway to make it so that it's centered in one of the two monitors or both? | 04:37 |
| today | last time, i still instal Karmic and i dont see ubuntu software center error like that vega_ | 04:37 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | I connect to servers through a program called razor. when the issue started, Id log in and it would freeze on me, so after a while i figured id give reinstalling razor a shot. | 04:38 |
| bribroder | i'll praise you vegar_ :) | 04:38 |
| vegar_ | Melwasul_GIlrean: ah, so that's why you have such a cooky nick | 04:38 |
| smick2 | when I added a 2nd HD into my system, I could format it using disk utility, but XFS was the only working option? Can I use another utility to format to EXT4? and will I have to mount this every time, or can't it just be ready always | 04:38 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | At this point I have reinstalled wine, winetricks, all the .net stuff from winetricks, and razor still will not install(it says i need .net frameworks which i have installed) | 04:38 |
| Andorin | theadmin: Does she want "manual package selection"? | 04:38 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | and yes, I am a gamer, cant help it lol | 04:38 |
| bribroder | i don't think you can mount iso9660 for write though can you? | 04:39 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: are you like, on the telephone with her or something? | 04:39 |
| wombatman | whats razor? | 04:39 |
| Andorin | vegar_: IM | 04:39 |
| theadmin | Andorin: I've no idea whether "she" wants it. You want to remove Ubuntustudio, i tell ya how to do it | 04:39 |
| thedark | I a newbie that can access Ubuntu shared folders on my Windows XP Viliv s7 Netbook. but can't access the Windows shared folders in Ubuntu. How can I solve this? | 04:39 |
| Andorin | theadmin: I'm trying to help my friend. | 04:39 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | http://www.runuo.com/razor/ thats razor. it lets you macro and connect to free servers | 04:39 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: tell her to join the channel | 04:40 |
| today | and i have a trouble with my Firefox , it allways freeze when i open it, now i dont know to fix it, can you help me now? | 04:41 |
| wombatman | and is that on appdb | 04:41 |
| emergion | vegar_, thanks buddy | 04:41 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | Razor? yeah, ive done all the fixes, heck i had it working on my laptop and this pc without any issues. I don't know what happened but it decided to just stop working on the pc | 04:41 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | it just decided to start freezing on me as soon as i logged in and now wont reinstall about 3 hrs ago | 04:42 |
| bribroder | emergion, i doubt you'll be able to modify the iso you've just mounted | 04:42 |
| vegar_ | Melwasul_GIlrean: remove your entire .wine directory, and start over | 04:42 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | i did, but ill try it again | 04:42 |
| === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock | ||
| emergion | probably cannot modify it but I will be able to create a new iso with modified files in it | 04:43 |
| vegar_ | emergion: sneaky | 04:44 |
| emergion | sneaky like a fox | 04:44 |
| hiexpo | man i am havin g a heckof a time tring to compile hydra | 04:44 |
| Andorin | Okay, she is now freaking out because she doesn't know what she's doing with that cli thing that theadmin pointed her to. Tempers are very high atm and she can't ignore this problem because of all the crashes. | 04:44 |
| Andorin | I'm getting pretty pissed off too. | 04:44 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Just find Ubuntu Studio there, press space, press enter | 04:45 |
| bribroder | emergion: good luck getting it to boot, i'd be interested to hear if you manage it | 04:45 |
| jordanl | are there any special considerations when doing a fresh install when your root partition is raid0? | 04:45 |
| jordanl | the first boot fails with a message like "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long uuid> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" | 04:45 |
| jordanl | i have a raid0 partition for /, and a raid1 partition for swap | 04:46 |
| jordanl | 2 physical drives are configured identically for the raid partitions | 04:46 |
| Andorin | theadmin: If Ubuntu Studio is supposed to be in that very first list that appears when you run tasksel, she says it's not there. Which is why I asked about manual package stuff. | 04:46 |
| jordanl | one thing i noticed... when i do "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid" from the busybox shell, i don't see the drive in there | 04:46 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: you could fire up synaptic, search for ubuntustudio and mark all of them for complete removal | 04:46 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Hm. Sorry, problem is I don't have a Ubuntu machine near me. Might have forgotten. | 04:47 |
| jordanl | nor do i see the device in "ls /dev/md*". But I *DO* see them when booting into chroot rescue mode from the installation media | 04:47 |
| bribroder | jordanl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing%20on%20external%20or%20RAID%20hard%20disks | 04:47 |
| tm0 | Anyone know the WUBI IRC i have encountered a bug with it :/ | 04:47 |
| jordanl | bribroder: thanks, but i followed the software raid guide | 04:48 |
| vegar_ | there is a tasksel entry which says "Video creation and editing suite", maybe it's that? | 04:48 |
| theadmin | If i could ssh to my comp :/ but it's off | 04:48 |
| Andorin | I'm considering sshing into her computer (though I don't know how to do that, I think she can tell me) so I can just do everything from here. | 04:49 |
| jordanl | bribroder: i'm doing another install now with a few adjustments to the setup, but thanks for the effort | 04:49 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: try synaptic first.. search for "ubuntustudio" in synaptic.. then mark all for complete removal/purge | 04:49 |
| shazbotmcnasty | how do I use git? | 04:49 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I have a git url, how do I use it? | 04:49 |
| === mrcurrington is now known as mrc | ||
| shazbotmcnasty | >:o | 04:49 |
| theadmin | Andorin: Well, you can use other support software (Yuuguu, for instance), it's simplier. That one requires X and Java though | 04:49 |
| === mrc is now known as mcurrington | ||
| dbravender | shazbotmcnasty: sudo apt-get install git-core and then run git clone <URL-HERE> | 04:50 |
| vegar_ | I think Andorin is getting option overload just about now :p | 04:50 |
| Andorin | vegar_: She says that it ONLY marks those metapackages and no dependencies. | 04:50 |
| shazbotmcnasty | ah k | 04:50 |
| emergion | bribroder, http://www.littlesvr.ca/isomaster/ apparently that is very good | 04:50 |
| shazbotmcnasty | it was the 'git clone' part | 04:50 |
| shazbotmcnasty | dbravender, when I use git clone, does it just download the files? | 04:51 |
| theadmin | Andorin is right, vegar_, Synaptic and apt-get don't mark dependencies when removing metapackages | 04:51 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I mean.. it doesn't install the files it gets right? | 04:51 |
| red2kic | shazbotmcnasty: Yes. | 04:51 |
| dbravender | shazbotmcnasty: it downloads the whole repository | 04:51 |
| bribroder | emergion: good software, as long as you have a working bootfile… it's in the repos too | 04:51 |
| asdf123 | hey all.... well, i recently ran 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and now whenever i boot i get "Error 15: File not found." I've been trying to fix this for a while, and i've come to realize that there are no kernels in the /boot/ directory... i've tried several things with no luck... not sure what to do :/ right now i'm booting from a livecd | 04:51 |
| emergion | I am following some guide now that apparently works | 04:51 |
| emergion | For doing what I need | 04:52 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: I'm sorry for seeming repetitive here, but try "aptitude remove ubuntustudio-<metapackacge>" for all the metapackages | 04:52 |
| KhainSolja | Hello? | 04:52 |
| theadmin | asdf123: I'm unsure but you could probably chroot and apt-get install linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic | 04:52 |
| vegar_ | hi | 04:52 |
| Andorin | vegar_: Will that actually target the dependencies as well as the metapackages themselves? | 04:52 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | Alright, deleted .wine, reinstalled, reinstalled .net 1.1 .net 2.0 all the nice little font fixes, a driver thats needed, and still tells me i dont have the .net framework things installed. | 04:52 |
| red2kic | !hi | KhainSolja | 04:52 |
| ubottu | KhainSolja: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 04:52 |
| xangua | asdf123: do you upgraded to lucid¿ | 04:53 |
| asdf123 | theadmin: i tried that :/ no luck | 04:53 |
| asdf123 | xangua: i'm not sure what that mean | 04:53 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: aptitude will see if there are any orphaned dependencies whenever you remove a package.. when you remove all the parents.. it should remove all the orphans.. if that makes any sense | 04:53 |
| KhainSolja | Does anyone know how to install adobe flash player on mozilla firefox? Im using the linux OS | 04:53 |
| Andorin | I get it. Let's just see if it works. | 04:53 |
| bikcmp | KhainSolja: apt-cache search flash | 04:54 |
| bikcmp | KhainSolja: For me it was preinstalled. | 04:54 |
| xangua | !restricted | KhainSolja | 04:54 |
| ubottu | KhainSolja: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:54 |
| theadmin | vegar_: Problem is, that those packages don't become orphans when you remove that ubuntustudio metapackage, so it leaves a ton of stuff behind | 04:54 |
| xangua | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | KhainSolja | 04:54 |
| vegar_ | why aren't they orphaned? | 04:54 |
| theadmin | KhainSolja: Run this: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 04:54 |
| bribroder | asdf123: did you try apt-get —reinstalling the kernel? | 04:54 |
| theadmin | vegar_: Ask whoever built them :/ | 04:54 |
| Melwasul_GIlrean | i liek the restricted extras better, got less errors with them | 04:55 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: no, i don't think so... what command do i run? apt-get -reinstalling? | 04:55 |
| theadmin | Melwasul_GIlrean: Not everybody needs what they include. For instance all those codecs are useless for someone who uses VLC | 04:55 |
| KhainSolja | the admin how exactly am I supposed to? I'm really new to ubuntu use. | 04:55 |
| KhainSolja | Exspecially Linux | 04:55 |
| vegar_ | theadmin: that's why i like the world package list in gentoo.. | 04:55 |
| theadmin | KhainSolja: Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, and type that there | 04:55 |
| Andorin | theadmin, vegar_: trina is the one I'm trying to help, so tell her what to run in order to remove the dependencies | 04:56 |
| Andorin | Is she going to have to do this individually for every metapackage? Because there were quite a few metapackages as I recall. | 04:56 |
| trina | and a few of them have been removed (without dependencies being removed) in this mess. | 04:56 |
| SuspectZero | quick question, how come apt related programs cant find partimage, its a very basic program that im sure was in earlier versions | 04:56 |
| bribroder | asdf123: sudo apt-get —reinstall linux-generic | 04:56 |
| theadmin | Andorin: I think you can run "sudo tasksel remove ubuntustudio" or "sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-studio", unsure what's the proper name | 04:57 |
| vegar_ | trina: “aptitude remove ´~ubuntustudio´” | 04:57 |
| scopecreep | so i cant install the nvidia drivers but the log file it points me to (jockey.log) doesnt really have any errors that i see | 04:57 |
| Andorin | trina: See that? | 04:57 |
| vegar_ | trina: “aptitude remove ´~nubuntustudio´” | 04:57 |
| trina | yes. | 04:57 |
| bribroder | asdf123: while chrooted | 04:57 |
| vegar_ | the 2nd one | 04:57 |
| vegar_ | my bad | 04:57 |
| theadmin | bribroder, asdf123: wrong, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-generic" | 04:57 |
| snowrichard | hello | 04:57 |
| bribroder | oops, yes stick "install" in there | 04:58 |
| bikcmp | snowrichard: Hi. | 04:58 |
| asdf123 | it says "E: couldn't find package linux-generic | 04:58 |
| trina | plans to remove all the metapackages, yes, but naught more | 04:58 |
| trina | go ahead anyway? | 04:59 |
| vegar_ | trina: “aptitude remove ´~nubuntustudio´” | 04:59 |
| Andorin | I would take that as a 'yes' | 04:59 |
| trina | all right. | 04:59 |
| vegar_ | the 'n' is not a typo btw | 04:59 |
| theadmin | asdf123: methinks it's "linux-image-generic" and "linux-headers-generic" | 04:59 |
| nichos | hi all, the volume in myth is too low. When i drop to a terminal I see it's changing my alsamixer master to about 70% each time I launch mythTV | 05:00 |
| bribroder | asdf123: the line theadmin gave you is correct… linux-generic should install the headers and the image | 05:00 |
| vegar_ | trina: now, do: "aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" | 05:01 |
| asdf123 | theadmin: when i try that i get E: Unmet dependencies, it tells me to try apt-get -f install... but that gives me the same error | 05:01 |
| trina | already installed | 05:01 |
| vegar_ | trina: for good measure do: "apt-get --purge autoremove" | 05:02 |
| trina | nothing changed | 05:02 |
| vegar_ | trina: reboot | 05:02 |
| trina | all right. | 05:02 |
| vegar_ | good luck | 05:02 |
| vegar_ | :p | 05:02 |
| sloopy | my machine recognizes dvd's but for some reason, vlc, mplayer, and movie player cant seem to play them, any idea what the problem could be? | 05:03 |
| trina | heh :) | 05:03 |
| dbrav | sdhughes: is that you? | 05:03 |
| bribroder | asdf123: i hate to ask the obvious but you apt-get updated first? | 05:03 |

| vegar_ | sloopy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 05:07 |
| bazhang | dsnyders, you mean vbox? | 05:07 |

| shazbotmcnasty | what is a TIFF? | 05:09 |
| hajmola | can someone help me get my USB atsc tuner working? I plug it in, but tvtime doesn't see it as an input, it only shows my webcam | 05:09 |
| vegar_ | sloopy: np | 05:09 |
| RPG-Master | anyone here use fontymatrix? | 05:09 |
| drose | 6667 | 05:09 |
| RPG-Master | *fontmatrix | 05:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | because I got this while doing ./configure "*** Checks for TIFF libary failed. You can build without it by passing | 05:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | *** --without-libtiff to configure but you won't be able to use TIFFs then. | 05:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | " | 05:09 |
| dsnyders | shazbotmcnasty, Tiff is a type of graphics file. | 05:09 |
| bribroder | shazbotmcnasty: a TIFF is an image file | 05:09 |
| jesus64 | 111 | 05:09 |
| === running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock | ||
| shazbotmcnasty | that's interesting | 05:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I've never seen one | 05:09 |
| sloopy | shazbotmcnasty, tagged image file format, a it is a file format for graphics files... | 05:10 |
| shazbotmcnasty | are they used for anything special? | 05:10 |
| jesus64 | mm | 05:10 |
| bribroder | shazbotmcnasty: they're uncompressed and high quality | 05:10 |
| shazbotmcnasty | should I do without libtiff? | 05:10 |
| jesus64 | 22 | 05:11 |
| shazbotmcnasty | jesus64, what.... | 05:11 |
| vegar_ | Andorin: how did she fare? | 05:11 |
| shazbotmcnasty | okay I did it without libtiff | 05:11 |
| shazbotmcnasty | took too long bros | 05:11 |
| trina | rather poorly | 05:11 |
| jesus64 | no man, i test ping timeout under irc | 05:11 |
| bribroder | shazbotmcnasty: what are you configuring? | 05:11 |
| vegar_ | trina: is ubuntu studio gone? | 05:11 |
| shazbotmcnasty | GIMP | 05:11 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I hate it | 05:12 |
| trina | the traces ubuntu studio left (the separate sound & video entries and its controls) are gone, but all the programs are still about | 05:12 |
| jesus64 | i'm doing a homework about it | 05:12 |
| shazbotmcnasty | so many dependencies | 05:12 |
| trina | rhythmbox still segfaulting | 05:12 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: thanks, reading the link. i get the same error when i try that | 05:12 |
| shazbotmcnasty | now it says I don't have python headers | 05:12 |
| shazbotmcnasty | what do? | 05:12 |
| vegar_ | trina: you could try to aptitude remove rhythmbox , then aptitude install rhythmbox | 05:12 |
| bribroder | asdf123: did you try apt-get purging after removing the wxpython thing? | 05:13 |
| bribroder | shazbotmcnasty: why not just install from the repos? | 05:13 |
| jesus64 | mm | 05:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | gimp? | 05:13 |
| bribroder | right | 05:13 |
| trina | still would like to have an easy method of getting rid of all these programs, now, tho | 05:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Because I started to compile a new GIMP not in repos, then it didn't work because dependency hell, then I couldn't run GIMP at all. | 05:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Even if I installed new from repos | 05:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | reinstall, remove install | 05:13 |
| shazbotmcnasty | delete ~/.gimp | 05:14 |
| shazbotmcnasty | nothing | 05:14 |
| vegar_ | trina: It's strange that they linger about, but it would seem that you have to do it one by one through synaptic or another package front-end | 05:14 |
| trina | all right, then. | 05:14 |
| shazbotmcnasty | so I'm just going to fully compile it | 05:14 |
| trina | bluhhh. | 05:14 |
| hajmola | anyone got any ideas on how to get my usb atsc tuner working? | 05:14 |
| jfrancisco | hi | 05:14 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: not sure how to do that | 05:15 |
| shazbotmcnasty | ah python-dev | 05:15 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chicken | 05:15 |
| shazbotmcnasty | GIMP IS HUEG | 05:15 |
| FloodBot3 | shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:15 |
| bribroder | asdf123: give this a shot… "sudo apt-get clean ; apt-get -f install ; apt-get -f install linux-generic" | 05:16 |
| shazbotmcnasty | FloodBot3, yo stop pickin' on me, all of my comments were like 8 seconds apart, don't mess wif' me man | 05:16 |
| hajmola | can tvtime do atsc? | 05:16 |
| shazbotmcnasty | or we'll have to fight | 05:16 |
| trina | nope. still crashing on start after reinstallation | 05:16 |
| vegar_ | trina: start rhythbmox in a terminal, paste the output on pastebin.com and post the url here | 05:16 |
| Andorin | ...why didn't I think of that? xD | 05:17 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: i get "E: Couldn't find package linux-generic | 05:17 |
| trina | not...very much :p | 05:17 |
| trina | http://pastebin.com/LSTsqr9r | 05:17 |

| KhainSolja | How exactly is ubuntu used with vmware | 05:18 |
| vegar_ | trina: there's a clue on how to fix it on bottom post | 05:18 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: i did it that way, too | 05:18 |
| bribroder | KhainSolja: buy vmware, download an ubuntu iso, RTFM | 05:19 |
| KhainSolja | Is anyone here using VMWare | 05:19 |
| vegar_ | trina: basically it's telling you to "rm -rf /home/(your user name)/.local/share/rhythmbox" | 05:19 |
| KhainSolja | bribroder: I have VMWare | 05:19 |
| vegar_ | trina: then start rhythmbox | 05:19 |
| KhainSolja | bribroder: Just curious | 05:20 |
| ubd | is vmware workstation better than virtualbox? (100 usd better?) | 05:20 |
| bribroder | KhainSolja: then you're one third of the way there | 05:20 |
| bazhang | bribroder, that is not acceptable language in here | 05:20 |
| bribroder | Anyone have a clue why asdf123 can't get at the kernel packages? | 05:20 |
| trina | still have the same error :/ | 05:20 |
| KhainSolja | Ubuntu has nothing to do with Backtrack does it. | 05:20 |
| PunchyPanther | FreeBSD is complicated to install but I'm pushing through it | 05:21 |
| bazhang | KhainSolja, #backtrack-linux for backtrack support | 05:21 |
| Andorin | trina: That's weird, when I ls that directory, I have two .xml files, presumably the ones I mentioned earlier. | 05:21 |
| bazhang | PunchyPanther, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 05:21 |
| trina | yeah, i did too, plus something for audioscrobbler | 05:21 |
| ubd | PunchyPanther why the fuck you are tinkering with an o/s you cannot even install! | 05:21 |
| hajmola | whats the best program for atsc? | 05:21 |
| bazhang | ubd, language please | 05:22 |

| chaorain | Can I get some help please? http://www.pasteall.org/12318 | 05:22 |
| TannerF | they did that in some other channels too | 05:22 |
| chaorain | not a clue whats wrong | 05:23 |
| trina | Heh. | 05:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chao06, you did to ./configure first right? | 05:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chaorain, | 05:23 |
| chaorain | let me try | 05:23 |
| trina | ok, slightly more useful output | 05:23 |
| vegar_ | trina: for more output to paste, run "rhythmbox -d", paste on pastebin and post url here | 05:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chaorain, how did you get that makefile? | 05:23 |
| trina | at least, i hope. more usually means more useful | 05:23 |
| red2kic | I want to check on something. notify-osd still display one dialog too low for most users here? | 05:24 |
| bribroder | asdf123: try linux-rt instead | 05:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | you cannot rename a makefile.ln or anything like that to just makefile to make it work | 05:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | to compile you first do "./configure", and it will make a makefile for you to use | 05:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | then you do "make" | 05:24 |
| chaorain | shazbotmcnasty: Here is what I'm trying to do. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_(800i)#Drivers | 05:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | then once that's done you do "sudo make install" | 05:24 |
| trina | um. too much output with -d | 05:24 |
| chaorain | there is no config file | 05:24 |
| trina | and it won't pipe to a separate file, which is weird | 05:25 |
| chaorain | er configure | 05:25 |
| asdf123 | bribroder: same :/ | 05:25 |
| vegar_ | trina: you're trying "rhythmbox -d > file.txt" ? | 05:25 |
| asdf123 | what about just linux? that gives me something, haha | 05:25 |
| trina | yeah, if there's a better way that'd be nice | 05:26 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chaorain, that's weird | 05:26 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I've never compiled anything without a configure file | 05:26 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I cannot help you here >_> | 05:26 |
| chaorain | yeah, | 05:26 |
| chaorain | this used to work | 05:27 |
| UbuN2 | have you checked ur drive mapping asdf123 | 05:28 |
| vegar_ | trina: "rhythmbox -d 2> file.txt" will give you stderr instead | 05:28 |
| asdf123 | UbuN2: yeah, that's where i first started trying | 05:29 |
| UbuN2 | wht was it set on ? | 05:29 |
| trina | it's rather huge | 05:29 |
| trina | http://pastebin.com/B5f0QYps | 05:30 |
| Andorin | trina: I ran that and got a line of output for every song in my collection as it ran ^^; | 05:30 |
| trina | Hehehe. | 05:31 |
| trina | I have a feeling that's more worrying o'er here, tho. | 05:31 |
| Andorin | Righto. | 05:32 |
| luis_ | for god sake please I need help I am tired of this problem already: Suddenly 3 days ago my firefox markers and history stoped working because it says a "security program is using the places.sqlite file than contains the markers and history". Thanks to this I need to type every page I wanna enter again and I cannot go backwards and forward in any page. cannot believe no one can help me here :/ | 05:32 |
| asdf123 | brb | 05:32 |
| asdf123 | see if this worked :x | 05:32 |
| mrp | gwibber keeps crashing :@ | 05:32 |
| bribroder | !! | 05:32 |
| shazbotmcnasty | gwibber is lame | 05:33 |
| shazbotmcnasty | !gwibber | 05:34 |
| shazbotmcnasty | you don't know nuffin 'bout gwibber? .BLASPHEMY | 05:34 |
| mrp | can you replace it? | 05:34 |
| Andorin | I use Twitux, but I'd only use Gwibber for Twitter anyway. gnome-do helps with Twitter too. | 05:35 |
| bribroder | luis_: go to your profile directory and "mv places.sqlite places.sqlite.backup ; mv places.sqlite-journal places.sqlite-journal.backup" | 05:35 |
| bribroder | then restart firefox | 05:35 |
| mrp | has docky been seperated from gnome-do? | 05:35 |
| trina | i use...twitter for twitter. :p | 05:35 |
| trina | and my phone | 05:35 |
| bribroder | or just delete your profile directory | 05:35 |
| mrp | do i need to install docky too? | 05:35 |
| trina | mrp: you don't have to /use/ docky | 05:35 |
| trina | iirc | 05:35 |
| Andorin | mrp: It will be for Lucid, but they're the same atm. | 05:35 |
| chaorain | shazbotmcnasty: hey I think I figured something out. If you loot at line 4 it looks like I'm missing a system file right? | 05:35 |
| trina | it's just one of the options? | 05:35 |
| trina | kay. | 05:35 |
| trina | oh god speaking of my phone | 05:36 |
| mrp | Andorin: im running 10.04b2 :) | 05:36 |
| mrp | but i still hvae the choice of "docky" in gnome-do | 05:36 |
| bazhang | mrp, lucid support in #ubuntu+1 | 05:36 |
| Andorin | Well, I'm just repeating what someone in here told me. | 05:36 |
| vegar_ | trina: do the same with pidgin, it was crashing too right? | 05:36 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chaorain, yes | 05:36 |
| trina | vegar_: pidgin's crashes have been a more longstanding thing. | 05:37 |
| trina | (as in, well, a forever thing) | 05:37 |
| chaorain | wouldn't have a clue how to get it would you? | 05:37 |
| trina | (and it's more randomized than GIMP or rhythmbox) | 05:37 |
| vegar_ | trina: how often does GIMP crash? | 05:37 |
| trina | vegar_: um, either upon opening or upon trying to open a new file/existing file | 05:38 |
| trina | just tried it and got this: (script-fu:4304): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error | 05:38 |
| trina | Segmentation fault | 05:38 |
| vegar_ | trina: it sounds like there's something really fishy going on with your ubuntu install.. you should consider checking your disks with the disk utility and nuking your ubuntu install for a fresh install | 05:39 |
| trina | vegar_: thought i might. ah, well | 05:39 |
| trina | (just don't have anything to back up to...) | 05:39 |
| shazbotmcnasty | chaorain, nope | 05:39 |
| vegar_ | trina: burn a cd/dvd? | 05:40 |
| trina | vegar_: don't have any. :p | 05:40 |
| vegar_ | shop can't be that far? | 05:40 |
| Andorin | trina: If only I could let you use my portable HD, it's still got ~400 GB of space | 05:40 |
| inglor_ | how do I regain focus to ubuntu when using virtualbox | 05:40 |
| mrp | why does my screen flicker? is it something to do with X4500HD graphics? | 05:40 |
| trina | Andorin: Yeah, well... | 05:40 |
| trina | don't really have control over the finances. | 05:40 |
| trina | might be able to get ahold of a portable HD this week, tho. all depends. | 05:41 |
| Andorin | inglor_: The default for detaching focus is the right Control key, but that didn't work for me. You'll have to kill the Virtualbox process, then go into its preferences and change the key to something else if hitting right Control doesn't work. | 05:41 |
| _^mouse^_ | inglor_ , usually it's the right Ctrl key to regain focus | 05:41 |
| vegar_ | check your disks though trina, when disk reads fail, it's often a bad sign | 05:41 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, ty, didn't work for me, will try to set it to something different | 05:41 |
| trina | doesn't make sense that that just starts happening /now/ though. eh. | 05:41 |
| vegar_ | trina: there's a disk utility in System -> Administration -> Disk Utility | 05:41 |
| vegar_ | trina: many things don't make sense, especially in huge collaborative voluntary-based operating systems | 05:42 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Do you need help killing the process? | 05:42 |
| mrp | the laptop brightness controls work on my laptop but they don't actually change to brightness whats going on? | 05:42 |
| trina | vegar_: makes more sense than the proprietary ones, tho,. | 05:42 |
| trina | :) | 05:42 |
| vegar_ | that's the spirit | 05:42 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, had I needed help I wouldn't be talking to you over IRC would I | 05:42 |
| vegar_ | :) | 05:42 |
| inglor_ | actually disregard that, never needed X to use IRC 10 years ago :P | 05:43 |
| inglor_ | thanks anyway | 05:43 |
| Andorin | Yeah, despite these occasional headaches, Linux is really > all. | 05:43 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Okay, just checking. | 05:43 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, since you offered, is there a fast way to kill a process in CLI? (I mean faster than PS -A and then kill -9 based on its pid) | 05:45 |
| Andorin | inglor_: You might try killall VirtualBox | 05:45 |
| Sa[i]nT | inglor_, killall | 05:45 |
| vegar_ | inglor_: for the graphically inclined, you can use the gnome system monitor and right click end process | 05:46 |
| inglor_ | and that kills everything that has a process name containing the word virtualbox? | 05:46 |
| Andorin | (Case-sensitive, as the process is really called VirtualBox and not virtualbox) | 05:46 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Aye | 05:46 |
| Andorin | vegar_: I think he has to use CLI because his GUI is locked to VirtualBox | 05:46 |
| inglor_ | seems faster, thanks | 05:46 |
| Andorin | Yep, it's good, you just have to know the process name | 05:46 |
| grrr | hey guys | 05:47 |
| dbrav | inglor_: tab completion on process name should work when using killall :-) | 05:47 |
| grrr | has anyone had intermittent connectivity issues with 9.10 and ath9k driver? | 05:48 |
| Andorin | Oh hey! While I'm here... I've got a laptop and desktop, both running Karmic. On the desktop, gnome-do runs at login, but on the laptop, it doesn't. It's set to do so on both. Anyone know why this might be? | 05:48 |
| inglor_ | I just hate having to use virtualbox, it's a shame I have to use windows from time to time | 05:48 |
| bribroder | Andorin, you've checked your startup apps and gnome-do preferences? | 05:48 |
| vegar_ | grrr: yes, some guy was here earlier with precisely that | 05:48 |
| vegar_ | grr: was it you? :p | 05:49 |
| Andorin | bribroder: I'm going to run over them again in a sec just to be sure, but yes. | 05:49 |
| grrr | vegar_, haha no | 05:49 |
| vegar_ | grrr: i pointed him to madwifi web page.. he didn't come back, dunno if that's good or bad | 05:49 |
| Andorin | Yes, gnome-do is configured to run on startup. Buuut it doesn't. | 05:49 |
| grrr | it really sucks though, every once in a while i will lose connection and the only way to recover from this is to reload the module and network-manager | 05:49 |
| bribroder | Andorin, does it still start correctly on both? | 05:50 |
| thor | hi guys, any ideas why Bandwdidthd caused the updated package to freeze where I can't install or uninstall any programs? | 05:50 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, what runs on your desktop on startup but not on your laptop? | 05:50 |
| Andorin | One sec, let me compare the lists. | 05:50 |
| vegar_ | grrr: compare your driver version to the most recent at madwifi web site | 05:50 |
| asitha_ | exit | 05:51 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Looks like nothing. | 05:51 |
| luis_ | for god sake please I need help I am tired of this problem already: Suddenly 3 days ago my firefox markers and history stoped working because it says a "security program is using the places.sqlite file than contains the markers and history". Thanks to this I need to type every page I wanna enter again and I cannot go backwards and forward in any page. cannot believe no one can help me here :/ (I am firefox owner, I am ubuntu sudo too) | 05:51 |
| luis_ | btw I never installed antivirus or something... | 05:52 |
| Andorin | bribroder: Sometimes gnome-do will start incorrectly and I'll have to kill the process and restart it. This applies to both machines. | 05:52 |
| Andorin | ....uh huh. According to gnome-do's preferences, it's NOT set to start at login on the desktop (the computer where it does). But it's set to start in the Startup Applications window. | 05:53 |
| vegar_ | luis_: if you don't have anything to keep in your favorites, you could delete .mozilla and start firefox again | 05:53 |
| bribroder | luis_: go to your profile directory and run this command from terminal "mv places.sqlite places.sqlite.backup ; mv places.sqlite-journal places.sqlite-journal.backup" | 05:53 |
| luis_ | ok vergar | 05:53 |
| luis_ | thanks bribroder i will try that | 05:53 |
| Andorin | Also, guys, this might help: In my ~/.config/autostart/ directory there's one file called gnome-do.desktop. When I run it on my desktop, gnome-do starts. When I run it on my laptop, gnome-do does NOT start. | 05:53 |
| luis_ | bribroder: It says places.sqlite doesnt not exists... | 05:54 |
| bribroder | are you in the right directory? | 05:54 |
| luis_ | bribroder: lol | 05:54 |
| luis_ | how i can acces the right directory | 05:54 |
| vegar_ | locate places.sqlite | 05:55 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a text UI version of gparted? | 05:55 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, are the files identical? | 05:55 |
| Andorin | inglor_: I'll check in a sec, I'm rebooting the laptop | 05:55 |
| dbrav | dsnyders: try parted :-) | 05:55 |
| inglor_ | dsnyders, fdisk :P? | 05:55 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: how about cfdisk? | 05:55 |
| bribroder | luis_: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#Where_is_my_profile_stored_ | 05:56 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, cfdisk is the winner! | 05:56 |
| hiexpo | how do i remove a file that got install wrong and is in my linux headers | 05:56 |
| vegar_ | i win, yay | 05:56 |
| luis_ | whats the command to desinstall firefox? | 05:57 |
| vegar_ | luis_: aptitude remove firefox | 05:57 |
| inglor_ | sudo apt-get remove firefox | 05:57 |
| Andorin | I'm issuing an official "never mind" for the GNOME Do problem as it seems to have been resolved by a quick tweak. But I have another question. | 05:57 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, cfdisk doesn't look like it can resize partitions. | 05:58 |
| luis_ | bribroder: MMM!!! | 05:58 |
| Andorin | Is it possible to go through Synaptic and download, say, a .deb of a certain program and just save that instead of automatically installing it? I'd like to keep a small collection of installation files for programs I commonly use (Pidgin, Xchat, etc). | 05:58 |
| luis_ | bribroder: I think what is the posible solution | 05:58 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: so close.. :/ | 05:59 |
| luis_ | bribroder: 3 days ago I installed google chrome to test it and I selected import history and markers | 05:59 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, it's possible with apt, not sure about synaptic | 05:59 |
| dbrav | dsnyders: why can't you use gparted? | 05:59 |
| luis_ | will try to remove it | 05:59 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Okay, that'd be alright | 05:59 |
| UbuN2 | sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox | 05:59 |
| bribroder | luis_: did you manage to execute that command? if you restart firefox it should be ok | 06:00 |
| dsnyders | dbrav, because I'm connected remotely. When I start gparted, I get Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 | 06:00 |
| inglor_ | sudo apt-get -d packagename | 06:00 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: forward X with ssh -X | 06:00 |
| inglor_ | Andorin, the -d flag downloads the package only | 06:01 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Great, let me test | 06:01 |
| dbrav | dsnyders: if you run ssh with the -X option you can remotely run gparted | 06:01 |
| vegar_ | why the heck would you want to keep a small collection of installation files? | 06:01 |
| luis_ | bribroder: god dammit, I removed chrome and the error still persists | 06:01 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, dbrav, so using -y doesn't work? | 06:01 |
| Andorin | vegar_: So I can always have a full system if I need it, especially if for some reason I don't have Internet access at some point. | 06:02 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: you so funny | 06:02 |
| inglor_ | vegar_ , no internet for example | 06:02 |
| luis_ | bribroder: I have some plugins and scripts installed in firefox than will be difficult to reinstall... | 06:02 |
| === stevecam is now known as stevecam2 | ||
| Andorin | inglor_: Would that be "sudo apt-get -d install packagename" instead" | 06:02 |
| Andorin | ? | 06:02 |
| luis_ | bribroder: I am out of ideas, desinstalling chrome did not work... cannot think of another "security software" | 06:02 |
| inglor_ | luis_ those plugins and scrips are probably the reason its giving you all this trouble | 06:02 |
| === stevecam2 is now known as stevecam | ||
| inglor_ | no install, just -d | 06:02 |
| Andorin | inglor_: Then I get "E: Invalid operation pidgin" | 06:03 |
| luis_ | inglor_: the plugins and scripts are installed like 1 month ago | 06:03 |
| bribroder | luis_: it's probably easiest to remove your profile and start fresh | 06:03 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, The man page says -Y does trusted X11 forwarding. | 06:03 |
| inglor_ | oh, yeah, you're right | 06:03 |
| luis_ | bribroder: how i do that | 06:03 |
| inglor_ | luis_ still that's the most common reason for a messy firefox | 06:03 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: there's a slight difference between them.. -X is the safest | 06:04 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, trusted is less safe than not trusted??? | 06:05 |
| UbuN2 | purge will completly uninstall firefox luis_ | 06:05 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: freaky stuff eh? | 06:05 |
| bribroder | luis_: "sudo rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox" | 06:05 |
| stryk3r | hi.. I am trying to update but it says that another APT is running, and I am pretty sure I haven't run anything else that would block it. and when I do sudo apt-get upate I get these errors: http://pastebin.org/146534 | 06:05 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, Still getting a Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 with ssh -X | 06:06 |
| luis_ | bribroder: done, but the terminal did not toss any result | 06:07 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: is X11 forwarding disabled in your sshd config? | 06:07 |
| inglor_ | luis_ , not supposed to toss result | 06:07 |
| luis_ | inglor_: well... the firefox problem is gone | 06:07 |
| luis_ | and with that | 06:08 |
| luis_ | my scripts... | 06:08 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, Not sure. Would that be in /etc/sshd.conf? | 06:08 |
| mcurran | What is a good book to become fluent in linux commands/bash quickly? | 06:08 |
| luis_ | inglor_: oh holda | 06:08 |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: yep.. if you want to resize using cmd line: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions | 06:08 |
| luis_ | inglor_: I got the scripts saved in downloads i will install them again :) | 06:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | guys | 06:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | gimp-2.7: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgegl-0.1.so.0: undefined symbol: babl_total_usecs | 06:08 |
| wolter | is the banshee appindicator plugin working for anybody? | 06:08 |
| bribroder | luis_: be careful reinstalling those. make sure they are up to date | 06:09 |
| mneptok | mcurran: i prefer zsh to bash, and this is a good book - http://www.amazon.com/Bash-Shell-Conquering-Command-Line/dp/1590593766/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270962513&sr=8-1 | 06:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | how do I fix that? | 06:09 |
| inglor_ | mccurran, there are plenty of good internet books | 06:09 |
| luis_ | bribroder: ok, and thanks for everything :D | 06:09 |
| vegar_ | i love it when someone has a problem, the solution consists of recursively solving a host of other problems | 06:09 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, Thanks for the link. Added twist, the partition is LVM on an extended partition. | 06:09 |
| * grrr builds madwifi | 06:09 | |
| vegar_ | see? | 06:09 |
| * grrr grrs. | 06:09 | |
| * dbrav is amazed by vegar_'s prophecy coming true immediately | 06:10 | |
| vegar_ | dsnyders: go for gparted, find out why your SSH doesn't tunnel the X11 traffic, enable x11 forwarding on your sshd.conf | 06:11 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, working on it... | 06:11 |
| grrr | hmmmmmm | 06:11 |
| Chaorain | Can I get some help with this please? http://www.pasteall.org/12318 | 06:11 |
| grrr | interesting. i just installed madwifi and loaded it. | 06:12 |
| mcurran | thanks mneptok | 06:12 |
| grrr | and now it works. | 06:12 |
| vegar_ | grrr: you didn't expect that? | 06:12 |
| stryk3r | anyone can help as to why I can't get updates? | 06:12 |
| inglor_ | stryk3r, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 06:12 |
| grrr | Chaorain, do you have the source install? | 06:13 |
| grrr | vegar_, well we'll see if i get disconnected again | 06:13 |
| Chaorain | grrr: uh, I followed the steps here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_(800i)#Drivers | 06:13 |
| vegar_ | grrr: I'm betting $10 you will | 06:13 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: linux mint, which is based on Karmic | 06:13 |
| vegar_ | linux mint is not supported here | 06:13 |
| vegar_ | !mint | 06:13 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 06:13 |
| grrr | Chaorain, that .config file gets created once you configure the kernel - you dont have to compile it, just run the config command and quit it. | 06:14 |
| inglor_ | stryk3r, though mint works with ubuntu repositories its update system is different | 06:14 |
| Chaorain | grrr: so I don't have to do "make"? | 06:14 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: what do you advise? | 06:14 |
| grrr | Chaorain, no | 06:15 |
| mrp | my audio works through headphones but not the laptop speaker what could be the problem? | 06:15 |
| grrr | mrp sounds like hardware | 06:15 |
| inglor_ | stryk3r, I advise asking in the mint IRC channel since no-one here has a clue because the update mechanism is different in mint | 06:15 |
| inglor_ | stryker, it's also a big distro, has a solid community that'd love to help | 06:15 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, Weirdness. sshd_config has X11Forwarding yes | 06:15 |
| mrp | grrr: :( | 06:15 |
| inglor_ | !linuxmint | 06:15 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: lol yea seems everybody is sleeping at the help channel for mint ^^ | 06:15 |
| * grrr grrs. | 06:15 | |
| inglor_ | !mintsupport | 06:15 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 06:15 |
| grrr | !coffee | 06:16 |
| dsnyders | !ebox | 06:16 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 06:16 |
| Chaorain | grrr: Hey it worked. thanks | 06:16 |
| grrr | Chaorain, np | 06:16 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: thanks anyway mate | 06:16 |
| Chaorain | grrr: how could you tell I didn't need to do "make" | 06:16 |
| grrr | Chaorain, ive been around :) | 06:16 |
| mcurran | Have you ever listened to ice melt in a glass? I can hear the bottom of my drink melting away on my desk from 3 feet away... Wierd. | 06:16 |
| inglor_ | stryk3r, sorry we couldn't help. I suggest you make the switch to ubuntu... updates always worked | 06:17 |
| LucidGuy | Ok should be a simple one .. Just installed mysqd and right off the bat I can't mysql -u root error reads.. Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) | 06:17 |
| hiexpo | way to quiet than | 06:17 |
| tritium | mcurran: stay on topic, please | 06:17 |
| shazbotmcnasty | how do i fix this: gimp-2.7: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgegl-0.1.so.0: undefined symbol: babl_total_usecs | 06:17 |
| shazbotmcnasty | ? | 06:17 |
| grrr | LucidGuy, did you set up a password? | 06:17 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: well its for messing around with chromium i bet, never happened before | 06:17 |
| Chaorain | grrr: I'm asking so I'll know when not to use it in the futre | 06:17 |
| LucidGuy | grrr, done nothing .. that was the first thing attempted, should that not work? | 06:17 |
| mrp | grrr: how would i find the name of the speaker or some such to google the audio is Intel 82801I | 06:17 |
| LucidGuy | I thought it was a blank password out of the box. | 06:17 |
| stryk3r | inglor_: i tried 10.04 beta but i had lots of app crashes and was a hassle just to get the stuff that was already pre-installed in linux, like media codecs etc. | 06:18 |
| hatake_kakashi | !lucid | 06:18 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 06:18 |
| vegar_ | dsnyder: http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.7 | 06:18 |
| grrr | Chaorain, thats how things work when you compile a kernel from scratch, you run make config, it creates a .config file | 06:18 |
| grrr | mrp, i'd look for your computers' spec | 06:18 |
| asitha | Lucid gives cras reports but the app doesnt seem to be crashed | 06:18 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, Thanks for the link. | 06:18 |
| inglor_ | stryk3r, getting the media codecs is very simple if you follow the tutorial, I advise you to avoid unstable releases | 06:19 |
| grrr | LucidGuy, try mysql -u root -p | 06:19 |
| hiexpo | i was looking at unetbootin cause i never used it before and i know there was a guy that couldnt figure it out earlier / how much easier could that be | 06:19 |
| Chaorain | grrr: ok I'll take your word for it | 06:19 |
| mneptok | LucidGuy: are you using Lucid? | 06:19 |
| bribroder | stryk3r: 9.10 is a really great distribution, i would strongly recommend it | 06:19 |
| LucidGuy | grrr, got it .. thanks. | 06:19 |
| LucidGuy | mneptok, nope. | 06:19 |
| * grrr tried lucid and downgraded back to 9.10 | 06:19 | |
| inglor_ | hiexpo, it's a pretty friendly program, that guy didn't know the absolute basics of linux and that's why he had trouble | 06:20 |
| hiexpo | i guess | 06:20 |
| asitha | seems like lucid have some problems with its nvidia drivers | 06:20 |
| stryk3r | I think I used 9.10 for a while, its basically the same as mint 8 except for the couple of changes that the mint devs have done | 06:20 |
| iceroot | asitha: #ubuntu+1 | 06:20 |
| grrr | LucidGuy, np | 06:20 |
| inglor_ | asitha, that's a known issue | 06:20 |
| mrp | grrr: doesn't say too much :( | 06:21 |
| hiexpo | i mean it has hands and auto pilot built in lol | 06:21 |
| theadmin | What is the regular adress for the audio card? /dev/audio? | 06:21 |
| grrr | mrp, wait-wait, your speakers dont work, but your headphones do? | 06:21 |
| asitha | yeah !! but the thing is there are no work arounds yet | 06:21 |
| grrr | mrp, is that a laptop? | 06:21 |
| bribroder | we can help you with 9.10, but not Lucid or Mint | 06:21 |
| mneptok | asitha: Lucid issues in #ubuntu+1 please | 06:22 |
| iceroot | asitha: for 10.04 support see #ubuntu+1 | 06:22 |
| mcurran | why not mint, you wouldn't need to say that. | 06:22 |
| theadmin | bribroder: Actually, Mint is quite alike with Ubuntu except for the GUI parts, and most stuff can be done trough the terminal fine :D | 06:22 |
| mrp | grrr: yes | 06:22 |
| stryk3r | if I have a seperate /home partition I can have both mint and ubuntu right? | 06:23 |
| mneptok | theadmin: we still don't support Mint in #ubuntu | 06:23 |
| grrr | mrp go look at your sound preferences | 06:23 |
| theadmin | mneptok: Yes, they have their own channel, but it's on some other network. Just why don't they like freenode? :/ | 06:23 |
| vegar_ | mrp: In sound preferences, in the "output" tab, you can select which connector to output audio | 06:23 |
| iceroot | stryk3r: but using both with the same /home is not a good idea | 06:23 |
| mcurran | Mint has it's own support channel in www.SpotChat.org #linuxmint-help | 06:23 |
| mneptok | theadmin: go ask them. it's offtopic here. | 06:23 |
| stryk3r | iceroot: why not? | 06:24 |
| iceroot | stryk3r: because programs are using ~/.programname for there configs | 06:24 |
| iceroot | stryk3r: that can break the system if 2 systems are using the same configs (with different software-version) | 06:24 |
| mrp | vegar_: only shows "Internal AUdio Analog Stero" | 06:25 |
| theadmin | mneptok: Yep, i know. Say, if a Mint user has access to spotchat blocked out and his problem is a general, not-mint-specific problem, may (s)he ask here? Just wondering. | 06:25 |
| iceroot | stryk3r: with the same username of course | 06:25 |
| mrp | grrr: looking into now | 06:25 |
| vegar_ | mrp: click on the Analog output or whatnot .. the connector thingamajic | 06:25 |
| vegar_ | majig | 06:25 |
| stryk3r | iceroot: Ah, so having a different username would limit that possibility? | 06:25 |
| mneptok | theadmin: no. | 06:25 |
| iceroot | theadmin: if it is a ubuntu-support question, this is the correct place | 06:26 |
| iceroot | stryk3r: yes | 06:26 |
| stryk3r | iceroot: thanks :) | 06:26 |
| mneptok | theadmin: OpenBSD uses SysV init. so does Ubuntu. doesn't mean we support OBSD init script questions here. | 06:26 |
| vegar_ | mrp: not Device, but Connector.. see it? | 06:26 |
| stryk3r | bye all | 06:27 |
| vegar_ | cu | 06:27 |
| mcurran | That's a little different mneptok - Mint is basically the whole shebang with a couple extra codecs and proprietary software... | 06:27 |
| theadmin | mneptok: Obviously. However, here's another one. Mint uses X, so does Ubuntu. And both of them use the same version and stuff. So generally, it wouldn't matter where to ask if it wouldn't start. Whatever. Let's stop this now. | 06:27 |
| iceroot | theadmin: yes, lets stop this here and only discuss UBUNTU-questions here | 06:28 |
| mrp | vegar_: hrmm ill post a screenshot | 06:28 |
| vegar_ | mrp: btw, often audio hardware outputs on either headphones, or speakers.. not both.. | 06:28 |
| mcurran | Speaking of audio, anyone know how to save alsamixer settings? | 06:29 |
| luis_ | bribroder: Now than my firefox is at 0 do you remember the command to install java and flash plugin? | 06:29 |
| theadmin | luis_: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin flashplugin-installer | 06:29 |
| luis_ | theadmin: thanks | 06:30 |
| hiexpo | where can u find wallpaers the dif destros use | 06:31 |
| bribroder | hiexpo: /usr/share/backgrounds | 06:31 |

| hiexpo | theres a new distro out mywolfe i guess and i want that wallpaper | 06:32 |
| tritium | hiexpo: this channel is specific to the ubuntu distro. | 06:32 |
| hiexpo | i know | 06:32 |
| theadmin | To talk about that, anyone still have the Interpid Ibex default wallpaper? I loved it... | 06:33 |
| j0k3r | Where is xorg.config on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx ? | 06:33 |

| navetz | it is slow out of its mind lol | 06:34 |
| theadmin | bribroder: Well, it had some brown mess XD yet it looked neat | 06:34 |
| mcurran | sorry, shouldn't the command "netstat | grep ^unix" omit all lines beginning w/ unix | 06:34 |
| mrp | vegar_: http://bur.st/~nathanj/Untitled.jpg | 06:34 |
| vegar_ | mrp: you running Lucid? | 06:35 |
| mrp | vegar_: yes | 06:35 |
| vegar_ | uh oh | 06:35 |
| bribroder | yeah, i liked the jaunty and earlier wallpapers… karmic is kind of dull | 06:35 |
| tritium | hiexpo: perhaps you are confusing "distro" for "release" | 06:35 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! How do I restart sshd on an ebox machine? | 06:36 |
| Sa[i]nT | What's the next one's name? | 06:36 |
| iceroot | !10.10 | Sa[i]nT | 06:36 |

| Sa[i]nT | LmAo, they get crazier each time. | 06:36 |
| theadmin | bribroder: There it is: http://is.gd/bnSlq - guess... thanks? :D | 06:36 |
| dbrav | dsnyders: might be /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 06:36 |
| dsnyders | dbrav, There is no /etc/init.d/sshd | 06:37 |
| theadmin | The last one will be Zelaous Zebra i guess | 06:37 |
| vegar_ | Giddy Pony | 06:37 |

| vegar_ | dsnyders: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 06:40 |
| vegar_ | i guess they dropped the "d" since a client won't have an init script, who knows | 06:40 |
| theadmin | Don't you use "service" instead of /etc/init.d these days? | 06:41 |
| tritium | theadmin: if it uses upstart | 06:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | sudo service ssh restart - maybe | 06:41 |
| tritium | sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart | 06:42 |
| dsnyders | vegar_, that seems like an awefully poor reason | 06:42 |

| luis_ | Hello, I wanna know where is located the exe of kate | 06:43 |
| tritium | vegar_: I believe the initscript name has always been "ssh" | 06:43 |
| bribroder | it was sshd at some point | 06:43 |
| dsnyders | luis_, type in which kate | 06:43 |
| Random832 | bribroder: it's been ssh ofr as lon as i remember | 06:43 |
| luis_ | huh | 06:43 |
| luis_ | in the terminal | 06:43 |
| vegar_ | how long can you remember? | 06:44 |
| Random832 | years | 06:44 |
| tritium | vegar_: back to the first release | 06:44 |
| bribroder | the server component is sshd | 06:44 |
| iceroot | vegar_: Random832 on suse-system it was sshd on debian/ubuntu it was imo always ssh | 06:45 |
| Random832 | bribroder: the _server_ is called sshd, but it's _started from_ an initscript called ssh | 06:45 |
| Random832 | the initscript is not the server | 06:45 |
| luis_ | in the terminal | 06:45 |
| luis_ | Hello, I wanna know where is located the exe of kate | 06:45 |
| Random832 | luis_: type 'which kate' | 06:45 |
| bribroder | iceroot's got it | 06:45 |
| luis_ | Random832: thanks! | 06:46 |
| dsnyders | luis_, linux does not use exe. Open a terminal and type in which kate. That will tell you where the program called kate is. | 06:46 |

| Random832 | luis_: it deletes all your files | 06:47 |
| Random832 | theadmin: there's a space between /tmp/ and * | 06:47 |
| iceroot | luis_: its deleting /tmp and everything in the folder you started that command | 06:48 |

| Random832 | theadmin: -r and -R are synonyms | 06:50 |
| theadmin | Random832: Strannnnge. | 06:51 |
| Random832 | it's because the ls option is -R so people will expect to be able to type it | 06:51 |
| Oats | I will explain why you are wrong. Please excuse me for one moment till I reboot. | 06:51 |
| vegar_ | lol? | 06:51 |
| theadmin | Random832: ls option is -R because -r there is for "reverse" listing | 06:52 |
| Random832 | right, i was just saying that they both work on rm so people who want to use -R won't be surprised | 06:52 |
| auk | can't the channel be censored so those commands just don't show up? | 06:53 |

| AbuMaia | maco: yes, that works for the moment, but they're still listed the next time Update Manager is run | 06:54 |
| maco | AbuMaia: you can lock a package's version to prevent it being updated if you dont want to have to uncheck constantly, but be aware taht if a security update comes through for that package later, you wont get it | 06:54 |
| === Cosgrove is now known as nutbunnies | ||

| iceroot | auk: rm -rf is not a bad command | 06:54 |

| theadmin | "force" doesn't make much sense | 06:55 |

| theadmin | bandicoot_: You can change it though (do: passwd username) | 06:55 |
| AbuMaia | I'm not being understood here, I'll go try somewhere else. thanks for trying | 06:55 |
| RalphSpencer | Just change it.. You cant see it as its being encrypted | 06:55 |
| maco | AbuMaia: lock version | 06:56 |
| maco | AbuMaia: i just explained that you can lock the version | 06:56 |

| bandicoot_ | many thanx to all of you :) | 06:56 |
| maco | AbuMaia: or if you really want to get into tough stuff, look at "man 5 apt_preferences" and learn to pin packages | 06:56 |
| imbrandon | AbuMaia: package pinning is what you want | 06:56 |
| maco | AbuMaia: thatd let you say for a specific package that only security updates (but not normal updates) should come through | 06:57 |
| theadmin | I have a bunch of exe files in my home folder and subfolders, wanna move them all over to /media/windows, not counting stuff in WINE folder. How? | 06:57 |
| bonez2046 | help, I have a membership to a site that serves up .pdf pages of an online magazine. I go to print 2 pages of this, and it produces this error > /tmp/leadershipinaction201004-Yk2CkkY4gS.pdf could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. | 06:57 |
| bonez2046 | Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location. | 06:57 |
| bonez2046 | this is for my /tmp folder.. | 06:57 |
| bonez2046 | is there any way around this restriction? | 06:57 |
| AbuMaia | so somehow pinning 3.6.3 will remove the 3.5.9 from the Update Manager screen? | 06:57 |
| vegar_ | theadmin: use the search in Nautlis, copy paste | 06:58 |
| auk | iceroot: yes but with a nice regex filter for * and /, et cetera? could have those posts reviewed by admins? i guess it does sound like a lot of work | 06:58 |
| theadmin | vegar_: And without X? | 06:58 |
| vegar_ | theadmin: wut? | 06:58 |
| nirc | hey | 06:58 |
| theadmin | vegar_: Trough the terminal. | 06:58 |
| iceroot | AbuMaia: if you are using ff 3.6.3 the system will not "update" to 3.5.9 | 06:58 |
| vegar_ | make a script | 06:58 |
| nirc | what is this? | 06:58 |
| AbuMaia | iceroot: shall I set up a screenshot for you? | 06:58 |
| iceroot | AbuMaia: only if you have ff3.5 also installed | 06:58 |
| iceroot | AbuMaia: then remove ff3.5 and only use ff3.6 | 06:59 |
| iceroot | AbuMaia: you have both installed | 06:59 |
| theadmin | vegar_: Well this seems to more or less work, i just want it not to touch the .wine folder %) So i had to chmod 000 it for a while: find $HOME -iname '*.exe' -exec mv {} /media/windows | 06:59 |
| AbuMaia | iceroot: that's odd, I was not aware of that possibility | 06:59 |
| iceroot | theadmin: there is a glob-option for cp | 06:59 |
| vegar_ | theadmin: or a command like "mv `find . -name .exe` /media/windows" | 07:00 |
| imbrandon | theadmin: or just excluse .wine from the find command | 07:00 |
| imbrandon | with grep or such | 07:00 |
| theadmin | Ah. find $HOME -iname '*.exe | 07:00 |
| theadmin | oops | 07:00 |
| theadmin | find $HOME -iname '*.exe' -exec grep ^.wine \&\& mv {} /media/windows \; | 07:01 |
| vegar_ | looks nice | 07:01 |
| vegar_ | but does it run? | 07:01 |
| nutbunnies | can i get 2.6.32 from the repos somehow? | 07:01 |
| vegar_ | :p | 07:01 |
| _2x2l | using xmodmap how would one map Alt_R + hjkl to the arrow keys? I used xev to get the keycode (108) of Alt_R but after that I'm not sure quite what to do | 07:01 |
| theadmin | Well, i think it should XD Will test later cause i'm not on Linux now, so i just was asking | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | nutbunnies, if you mean Firefox, not from the default repos but you can add a PPA with it | 07:02 |
| nutbunnies | i meant the kernel | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | nutbunnies, ahhh - not sure | 07:02 |
| nutbunnies | ZykoticK9: thanks n'' | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | you can grab it form the lucid repos, but ummm yea own risk and such | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | mixing it with older udev and such might not be a great idea | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | would be better off rebuilding it | 07:03 |
| imbrandon | against what you have installed | 07:03 |
| iceroot | nutbunnies: why you need 2.6.32? | 07:04 |
| imbrandon | nutbunnies ^^ | 07:04 |

| nutbunnies | iceroot: thanks | 07:07 |
| iceroot | kasimon: sftp | 07:07 |
| Random832 | then delete all the other lines | 07:07 |
| _2x2l | Random832: i want it want the vim movement keys exclusively when Alt_R is a modifier key | 07:07 |

| iceroot | kasimon: nautilus of course i mean | 07:08 |
| Daemonik | Is nilfs reliable? | 07:08 |
| kasimon | iceroot, voss749: unr does not use nautilus directly as interface | 07:08 |
| _2x2l | Random832: Alt_R + h -> Left, Alt_R +j -> down etc | 07:09 |
| iceroot | kasimon: ah ok | 07:09 |
| kasimon | it uses it's custom launcher | 07:09 |
| Random832 | _2x2l: right... what exactly made you think that what i said won't do that? | 07:09 |
| _2x2l | perhaps I'm misundersatnding | 07:09 |

| duckx0r | what would cause php to return mysql_affected_rows == 1 however the row was not inserted after a query? | 07:10 |

| Random832 | bribroder: iso-9995-3 - it is not a character set, it is, appropriately enough, a _keyboard layout_ standard: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/KB_US-ISO9995-3.svg/800px-KB_US-ISO9995-3.svg.png | 07:26 |
| Random832 | and it's used as the basis for every western language keyboard layout that ships with X _except_ any US layout | 07:27 |
| Random832 | [all the US gets is the crappy M$ "us-international" layout] | 07:27 |
| johnwedd | such a file must exist somewhere, Random832, considering that ubuntu itself is one very large hack, its difficult to say that its ugly | 07:27 |
| tomatoes7 | iceroot, i got it...stupid me....i just had to run "sudo apt-get update" first... | 07:32 |
| ddrj | is there a way in bash to unrar a bunch of rar files all at once? | 07:32 |
| hatake_kakashi | ddrj: are they all in one directory? | 07:33 |
| ddrj | hatake_kakashi: yes | 07:33 |
| hatake_kakashi | ddrj: you could try using a for loop: for i in `ls -1 *.rar`; do unrar $i; done | 07:33 |
| lucky4linux | After I installed Lucid Lynx beta 1, everything was perfect. But when I select windows XP from grub menu, the windows XP screen comes up and then the machine starts rebooting. | 07:33 |
| hatake_kakashi | tell lucky4linux about lucid | 07:34 |
| hiexpo | !lucid | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 07:34 |
| Balgan | wont "unrar *.rar " do it ? | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | unrar needs the extract option. | 07:34 |
| ddrj | yah | 07:34 |
| adam__ | I am seeing the i386 9.10 Live CD hanging up my machine within about 2-3 minutes of usage. Anyone know where I can start looking? | 07:34 |

| BlackDalek | My printer is not supported by Ubuntu's gutenprint 5.2.4. Is it safe to install gutenprint 5.2.5, which supports my printer, over the top of the one from ubuntu repository? Or should I just wait until the version in the ubuntu repository is updated and install it then? | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | red2kic: its a handy tool. I use it with geany all the time now | 07:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | hatake_kakashi, just an FYI but in your loop you could just say "for i in *.rar ..." instead | 07:35 |
| hasibullah | Sallam Hello Dear all friends | 07:35 |
| hasibullah | What to install to play different format sounds /music | 07:35 |
| hatake_kakashi | ZykoticK9: hmm that might also probably work | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackDalek: you could see what version 10.04 is using. Thats due out in a month. | 07:36 |
| red2kic | Dr_Willis: Yup. I started out using nano but eventually I ended up installing geany on non-GUI machine with X11 Forward. Geany = 1 package. gedit want to pull in bunch of dependencies. :o | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackDalek: its possible theres updated PPA repos for that package also. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | red2kic: geany is also ported to windows | 07:36 |
| BlackDalek | Dr_Willis, how do I check which version 10.04 will be using? | 07:37 |
| johnwedd | greetings and well met hasibullah, you need codecs, i would suggest looking in the install library for codec packages under the media selection | 07:37 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackDalek: whats the exact package name? | 07:37 |
| red2kic | !info libgutenprint2 lucid | BlackDalek | 07:38 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: libgutenprint2 (source: gutenprint): runtime for the Gutenprint printer driver library. In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.5-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1029 kB, installed size 6440 kB | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | there ya go. :) if thats the package you are wondering about | 07:39 |
| Megadeth | When I boot my system, it says the filesystem has errors and that I should run fsck manually. When I boot into the LiveCD and run fsck, it says this: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=32522 | 07:39 |
| BlackDalek | yes | 07:39 |
| syn-ack | Megadeth, boot back into your native system, and type "sudo touch /forcecheck" without the quotes, of course | 07:40 |
| syn-ack | Megadeth, after that, reboot | 07:40 |
| hasibullah | please name any codec to install for different format music or sounds to play | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hasibullah: theres 100;s of codecs out there. | 07:40 |
| Megadeth | syn-ack: It won't let me boot. It's gets stuck. | 07:40 |
| Megadeth | *It | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hasibullah: install ubuntu-restricted-extras package and the w32codecs pack from medibuntu and you will have most of them you need. | 07:41 |
| NeoCicak | hi all.. i'm experiencing a choppy sound with dosbox... i'm guessing this is some configuration in ubuntu + dosbox.... has anyone experienced it before? | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | NeoCicak: it can depend very very much on the game/program you are running. and dosbox has config files you can tweak all day long. | 07:42 |
| NeoCicak | Dr_Willis: I think i found the answr... i have to increase the buffer size :) | 07:44 |
| allu2 | hey, i want to upgrade my bios (GF.M1.04 on Omnibook X3-GF) am i suppose to runn this under wine? http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=66614&prodNameId=66616&swEnvOID=228&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-9799-1 or is there more easier way? | 07:44 |
| arnpro | has anyone here configured a mail server on Ubuntu 9.10? with postfix+ldap | 07:44 |
| delight_ | arnpro: lookup the tutorial on howtoforge | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | allu2: if its a windows app to update the bios. i would doubt if it would work properly in wine. I would see if they have a dos based updater tool. and use a freedos live cd, or a real windows install to update the bios | 07:45 |
| tritium | arnpro: have you read the wiki page on it? | 07:45 |
| arnpro | I have, and I need to do it on Ubuntu 9.10 | 07:46 |
| delight_ | arnpro: there is a tut for 9.10 (karmic) | 07:46 |
| allu2 | Dr_Willis, thank you, huoh took forever to find that one and now to find other :P | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | allu2: id think they would bein the same download dir.. | 07:47 |
| KnifeySpooney | Hi, is there any way to change window focus through the terminal? E.g. I would like to focus on a certain window automatically using my bash script. | 07:48 |
| allu2 | Dr_Willis, i don't think there is DOS version.. | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | KnifeySpooney: i recall some tool to do that ages ago.. but i cant recall its name.. this was 4+ yrs back | 07:48 |
| allu2 | and appereantly the exe is just selfextracting package | 07:48 |
| KnifeySpooney | Dr_Willis: ok. glad to know there's *something*. Do you remember if it was a compiz tool? | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | allu2: it might Be a dos version then.. or it may have dos binaries and windows binaries | 07:49 |
| hatake_kakashi | allu2: and inside it contains windows flashing tool? | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | KnifeySpooney: this is befor compiz even existed | 07:49 |
| johnwedd | yeah, it was an active bash tool, old xserver stuff | 07:50 |
| hasibullah | how to install codec for different video formats | 07:50 |
| allu2 | hatake_kakashi, i don't know yet :P | 07:50 |
| * johnwedd face palms | 07:50 | |
| Dr_Willis | hasibullah: install ubuntu-restricted-extras package and the w32codecs pack from medibuntu and you will have most of them you need. | 07:50 |
| red2kic | allu2: I upgraded my bios using msdos. Some .exe allows you to install via command prompt or something. I don't remember. :) | 07:50 |
| hatake_kakashi | allu2: so extract it and see | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | hasibullah: also use the vlc player. and it should play most of them. | 07:51 |
| KnifeySpooney | Dr_Willis: think I found it. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/script-to-focus-pidgin-empathy.html | 07:51 |
| allu2 | yeah i quess i'll have to | 07:51 |

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 07:56 |

| darth_grantius | true | 07:57 |
| darth_grantius | ok | 07:57 |
| darth_grantius | Well I have ubuntu as well | 07:57 |
| johnwedd | groovy | 07:57 |
| darth_grantius | Does Netbook edition only support netbooks? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | best idea for mint.. is to just use ubuntu. | 07:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | !unr | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu | 07:58 |
| chilli0 | tritium, Just wondering , If i have the stream how can i get it into vlc? | 07:58 |
| mawst | Backtrack is based on ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: it can install on desktop machines.. or you can install the Netbook interface on a normal desktop install also. | 07:58 |
| chilli0 | Its just like embeded into the website | 07:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | mawst: offtopic but yes as of version 4 | 07:58 |
| W43372 | ubuntu rescue remix | 07:58 |
| chilli0 | and if i right click i can press view in movie player | 07:58 |
| mawst | Interesting. | 07:58 |
| mawst | :D | 07:58 |
| darth_grantius | I have a 850mhz P3 laptop with 256mb of ramand was wonderingif there was a way to install without having to boot up the liveCD | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | chilli0: check the properties/about info in the player that its playing in.. it should show the stream url. you can then cut/paste into streamtuner or other apps. | 07:58 |
| darth_grantius | just install straight? | 07:58 |
| johnwedd | that would be the best bet | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: You can make a flash drive installer.. | 07:59 |
| red2kic | darth_grantius: Make it your server or something. | 07:59 |
| chilli0 | Dr_Willis, nothing.. | 07:59 |
| darth_grantius | Dr_Willis: I want to burn a CD | 07:59 |
| darth_grantius | but not boot up to a live desktop | 08:00 |
| darth_grantius | just run install from the boot menu | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: the cd has a 'install' item in the menus.. | 08:00 |
| johnwedd | what he said | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | 'test out liuve cd' 'install' 'memtest'' and so forth.. at the grub menu | 08:00 |
| chilli0 | Dr_Willis, I think i found it lol. | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | all the install item does is goes to X and starts the installer | 08:00 |
| darth_grantius | Dr_Willis: Thank you. I had heard that wasn't possible. | 08:01 |
| darth_grantius | thanks guys. | 08:01 |
| * johnwedd <3's GRUB | 08:01 | |
| Random832 | didn't there used to be an ubuntu disk with a traditional installer? | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | at least i think ive seen that on the netbook... | 08:01 |
| shawnboy | Has anybody here successfully added a splash image to Grub2? I have followed instructions but still have no success. | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: not sure why it would be not possible.. unless you had them confused by your question | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: its just starting the instller after X loads up to a minimal desktop. | 08:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Random832, if by tradtitional you mean text based - its called the alternate cd or similar | 08:02 |
| red2kic | I wonder... Is there a keyboard shortcut equivalent of right-click (and get a menu)? :o | 08:02 |
| darth_grantius | Dr_Willis: the information I had said you had to boot to a fullblown Live Desktop. Which would have killed my ancient PC. | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | red2kic: ive not noticed one.. | 08:02 |
| red2kic | shawnboy: There are #grub but I would argue that it is pointless to customize "looks" for grub2. | 08:02 |
| camposvic | noob in need of help | 08:02 |
| Random832 | red2kic: lol - you know that button on te right side of the keyboard, that got added for Windows 95? | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: the netbook desktop is not very fullvblown.. and ive ran full live ubuntu cd/desktops in Much older machines then what you had. | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: try them out and see.. thats the bottom line | 08:03 |
| Random832 | red2kic: that's what it does - that's what it has always done. it's got a picture of a mouse pointer opening a menu | 08:03 |
| darth_grantius | Dr_Willis: so would normal ubuntu be fine with it? | 08:03 |
| shawnboy | ok, I'll take a look for #grub. thanks red2kic | 08:03 |
| Random832 | red2kic: also, shift-F10. | 08:03 |
| red2kic | Random832: ^_^ | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: ive installed normal ubuntu on a Pent I 100 - with 128mb of ram.. ages ago.. but the install took like 2 hrs.. :) | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | darth_grantius: it was very slow..but it worked.. I used it as a ssh terminal. :) | 08:04 |
| red2kic | Random832: Wow. That *is* what I was looking for. I was getting sick/lazy of using touchpad non-stop sometimes. | 08:04 |

| red2kic | camposvic: When you want to remove cups -- "sudo aptitude purge cups" are more than sufficient. Don't go and purge dependencies because the other packages are depending on it. | 08:21 |
| ShapeShifter499 | mI was wondering......GNUstep can run some mac osx apps if they are reconpiled right? | 08:21 |

| ShapeShifter499 | Dr_Willis hatake_kakashi: the win 7 boot up is also slow what do I do there? | 08:35 |

| ShapeShifter499 | iceroot: was replying to what red2kic said sorry | 08:41 |
| allu2 | hey i got this old omnibook x3-gf and i have many different problems(sometimes weird fan noice, brigthness control doesn't work, cd is extreamly slow when trying to play audio cd...) here is my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/412470/ does anyone see something wrong? i don't think the I/O errors belong there... | 08:41 |
| beatbreaker | histo, how is it possible to use bind as a DNS server and configure it so when i plug in a new machine to the network it knows what address the DNS server is? I've seen this done before. | 08:41 |
| red2kic | Oh pastebinit is b0rked? | 08:41 |
| allu2 | red2kic, paste.ubuntu.com works | 08:42 |
| allu2 | i just tested them :P | 08:42 |
| Megadeth | It says I need to run fsck manually, when I try to boot and then gets stuck before X starts but the system isn't completely frozen. How do I make it drop me into the shell? | 08:43 |
| red2kic | allu2: paste.ubuntu.com != pastebinit | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Megadeth: alt-ctrl-f1.. but you may want to boot a live cd and fsck manally | 08:43 |
| allu2 | red2kic, pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com ! | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I think you can set pastebinit to use other paste sites. | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | it has a config file you can change also. | 08:44 |
| allu2 | use -b option | 08:44 |
| allu2 | and set it to use paste.ubuntu | 08:44 |
| allu2 | :P | 08:44 |
| Megadeth | Dr_Willis: I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1..F6 and it doesn't ask me the user/pass. It's just a blank screen. I can't run fsck from the LiveCD (I only have version 7.04) and it says this: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=32523 | 08:45 |
| allu2 | Dr_Willis, what is ata2? | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | allu2: somthing to do with the drive controllers would be my guess | 08:45 |
| beatbreaker | allu2, you can install something called wgetpaste instead if pastebininit doesn't work | 08:45 |
| camposvic | u still here hnd? | 08:46 |
| Fraxtil | Can somebody run this and pastebin the output? sudo ls -al /var/lib/gdm | 08:46 |
| allu2 | beatbreaker, no no no it works , you just have to use -b paste.ubuntu.com | 08:46 |
| eat | . | 08:46 |
| allu2 | Dr_Willis, there is many that in my dmesg + I/O errors with sr0 | 08:46 |
| researcher1 | Can somebody tell me how to run a video file in .VOB format? | 08:46 |
| feng_ | I don't know | 08:47 |

| DarthPuff | hello | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | researcher1: vlc can play them as gmplayer also i belive | 08:47 |
| allu2 | red2kic, try pastebinit -i yourpaste.txt -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | you can make a ~/.pastebinit.xml also for defaults :) | 08:48 |
| beatbreaker | i like wgetpaste more anyway | 08:48 |
| beatbreaker | histo, how is it possible to use bind as a DNS server and configure it so when i plug in a new machine to the network it knows what address the DNS server is? I've seen this done before. | 08:49 |

| HubertChang | OK. | 08:54 |
| banshee_ | Dr_Willis I don't know, I thought I just had to type commands on seperate lines is it like writing C++ is there a format you got to follow? | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like its a roundrobin | 08:54 |

| FloodBot3 | camposvic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:54 |

| Dr_Willis | banshee_: yes.. actual COMMANDS.. for whatever is exeucting the script. | 08:54 |
| researcher1 | camposvic: How do I check if these files are installed libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2? | 08:55 |
| camposvic | can n e 1 help me with this? | 08:55 |

| Megadeth | Sia-: -f did not work | 09:09 |
| banshee_ | I have extended desktop is there a program so I can set a wallpaper on each monitor, like in windows I used Ultramon | 09:09 |
| researcher1 | :-( | 09:09 |
| DarthPuff | is there a 7zip frontend? | 09:09 |
| DarthPuff | gui i mean | 09:09 |
| Baram | banshee_ I just made a giant picture and made sure it matched up correctly | 09:10 |
| Sia- | researcher1, aptitude search package name or description | 09:10 |
| banshee_ | Yeah but there has to be a program | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: insrtall the 7zip binaries. and ark works as a front end to it | 09:10 |
| Sia- | researcher1, or use "aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update" ; then "apt-file search filename" | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | banshee_: in gnome - not that ive seen.. in KDE. yes. | 09:11 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: so ark or file-roller | 09:11 |
| researcher1 | ok | 09:11 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: gotcha | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: yep - thats the linux way | 09:11 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: the real question is which one do i want to install | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | 09:12 |
| ubottu | unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: i always use unp :) | 09:12 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: that sounds tempting | 09:13 |
| === rajesh_ is now known as bujji | ||
| Megadeth | apt-get -f won't install e2fsprogs :[ | 09:13 |
| JoeMama | I need a boot paramater to make my system boot using the vesa driver please? the livecd tries to use NV but that doesn't work on my card... | 09:13 |
| Sia- | Megadeth, what you want to do, is like using FIAT care machine inside Airbus 372 | 09:14 |
| Megadeth | Sia-: so what can I do..it won't let me boot saying there's an error in the filesystem | 09:14 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: is the command just unp *.zip? | 09:14 |
| Megadeth | i only have a 7.04 live CD | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: you can use unzip for zip - thats not related to 7zip at all. | 09:15 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: what does unp do then? | 09:15 |
| Sia- | Megadeth, look for the package in getdeb.net or compile it from self | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: if you want to do several zips at a time. try that unp. or try --> unzip '*.zip' (NOTE THE QUOTES) | 09:15 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: i don't have the unzip command :\ | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: it unpacks automatclly based on the extension | 09:15 |
| Sia- | DeathCrawler, then install it | 09:15 |
| inglor | sudo apt-get install unzip? | 09:15 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: what package do i need for unzip? | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: i would guess.. 'unzip' | 09:16 |
| Megadeth | Sia-: it won't let me install build-essential. It says not enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives. I have 256 MB RAM | 09:16 |
| inglor | unzip... | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: type 'unzip' in the shell and see what it suggests.. :) | 09:16 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'm looking for the gimp resynthesizer source code | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | DarthPuff: such a handy feature | 09:16 |
| shazbotmcnasty | does anyone know where it's located? | 09:16 |
| inglor | Megadeth, how much free HD space? | 09:16 |
| DarthPuff | Dr_Willis: yup, i need the unzip package | 09:16 |
| Sia- | shazbotmcnasty, join #gimp | 09:16 |
| JoeMama | you guys are mean. | 09:16 |
| Megadeth | inglor: I have some 20GB space but I can't mount the drive because of filesystem error | 09:16 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Sia-, I did, on their server too | 09:16 |
| inglor | shazbotmcnasty, you can download the source with apt-get | 09:16 |
| Megadeth | inglor: I'm on the LiveCD | 09:17 |
| Sia- | Megadeth, forget it | 09:17 |
| inglor | Megadeth, that makes sense... in the LiveCD edition the computer uses the RAM as a hard disk | 09:17 |
| robertzaccour | will i notice performance difference with xfce instead of gnome on my 64 bit? | 09:17 |
| shazbotmcnasty | robertzaccour, yes | 09:18 |
| inglor | Megadeth, what OS do you currently have on the 20GB? | 09:18 |
| Megadeth | Sia-: e2fsprogs is the package that contains fsck, right? | 09:18 |
| shazbotmcnasty | xfce is much lighter than gnome | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: windows might be a little snapier.. but i doubt if you notice it much | 09:18 |
| Megadeth | inglor: I have Ubuntu 9.04 | 09:18 |
| robertzaccour | oh ok thanks | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: and you lose a lot of features with xfce | 09:18 |
| Sia- | shazbotmcnasty, much lighter is LXDE :) | 09:18 |
| Sia- | or DWM | 09:18 |
| robertzaccour | but lxde isn't a complete DE | 09:18 |
| robertzaccour | its more of a window manager | 09:18 |
| Sia- | robertzaccour, not TRUE | 09:19 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'm totally not arguing de's here | 09:19 |
| robertzaccour | i tried out lxde once and couldn't get my wireless working | 09:19 |
| Sia- | the xubuntu package is not XFCE alone is c.a the same with gnome | 09:19 |
| inglor | robertzaccour, yes | 09:19 |
| Sia- | robertzaccour, i use wireless on LXDE | 09:19 |
| inglor | Megadeth, I meant on the HD | 09:19 |
| Sia- | !LXDE | 09:20 |
| Megadeth | inglor: that's what I said. I have Ubuntu 9.04 | 09:20 |
| robertzaccour | Sia-, it wouldn't work for me, not sure what i could have done at the time | 09:20 |
| Megadeth | inglor: but it won't let me boot | 09:20 |
| Sia- | robertzaccour, lxde is desktop and is most popular linux/unix desktop right now | 09:21 |
| inglor | Megadeth, so you ruined your GRUB settings and you just need to restore them? | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lxde is lacking a lot of features. | 09:21 |
| Megadeth | inglor: No, it says there's an error in the filesystem and I need to run fsck manually. It won't let me go into CLI so I had to boot into LiveCD.. but the LiveCD is for ubuntu 7.04 | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont see how the claim its the 'most popular' can even be made either. | 09:21 |
| inglor | Sia- I seriously doubt it is the most popular desktop, it looks very interesting but it's far from the most popular | 09:21 |
| robertzaccour | Sia-, actually Gnome is most popular right now | 09:21 |
| Sia- | lightweight | 09:22 |
| Sia- | gnome is monster :) offtopic | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | the term lightweight is rather vague also. | 09:22 |
| inglor | Megadeth, with 256 ram I doubt you can get any work done, can't you run fsck manually with 7.04? | 09:23 |
| Megadeth | inglor: This is what happens when I run fsck: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=32524 | 09:23 |
| * Sia- desktop is lightweighter than him self | 09:23 | |
| inglor | Megadeth, or better, while in LiveCD fetch a 9.10 cd and burn it | 09:23 |
| banshee_ | Howcome I cannot browse the wine C file, I click it it doesnt come up and I try to search it and i cant find it | 09:23 |
| Megadeth | inglor: erm, won't the OS hang when I eject the LiveCD | 09:23 |
| robertzaccour | i'm goin to sleep, later yall | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | KDE/GNome/Lxde/xfce 'benchmarks' and measurements --> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 | 09:24 |
| inglor | Megadeth, nope | 09:24 |
| Megadeth | oh, okay | 09:24 |
| inglor | I think lightweight desktops are overrated, I didn't get a good computer for my desktop to look bad, don't use a window manager at all, use CLI, that's as light as it gets | 09:24 |
| maximus | hey ppl i need to connect 2 computers, one is running ubuntu and the other windows xp. what would be the values for ip address and gateway on both computers | 09:25 |
| robertzaccour | i use AWN instead of a bottom panel i deleted and got the top panel on autohide | 09:25 |
| === maximus is now known as Guest38235 | ||
| inglor | banshee_ wine has its own support IRC and I'm sure there's more help there, | 09:25 |
| Baram | maximus: gateway would be whatever your router is, normally 192.168.0.1 | 09:26 |
| banshee_ | whats the channel any idea? | 09:26 |
| inglor | banshee_ anyway go nautilus (the window browser) and type in the address bar /home/YOURNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c: replace YOURNAME with your user name | 09:26 |
| inglor | probably #wine, just guessing | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | C: just a link back to ../otherlocation | 09:27 |
| === ignorante is now known as ignorant | ||
| Dr_Willis | c: -> ../drive_c | 09:27 |
| inglor | maximus, what do you want the computers to do? file sharing? | 09:27 |
| === ignorant is now known as ignorante | ||
| Guest38235 | baram: no router just direct connection | 09:27 |
| Guest38235 | inglor: yeah file sharing only | 09:27 |
| inglor | Guest3823, you'll need samba :), set up a network in your windows box, install samba in ubuntu, connect the two with a cable and ubuntu will figure it out :P | 09:28 |

| banshee_ | inglor Where can I find nautilus | 09:29 |
| Megadeth | inglor: it won't eject the CD while LiveCD session is running | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | gregg: thats a FAQ - and the answer is yes. | 09:29 |
| centale78 | ciao a tutti | 09:29 |

| ubottu | centale78, please see my private message | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | gregg: reconnecting? in what way? | 09:30 |
| robertzaccour | is there a 64 bit version of lubuntu? | 09:30 |
| inglor | Megadeth, I'd suggest a clean install | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | gregg: i just told the browser to rember me... | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: proberly is.. theres lubuntu-desktop on the 64bit repos. | 09:31 |
| gregg | Dr_Willis: no, the panel version | 09:31 |
| === Guest38235 is now known as maximus_ | ||
| inglor | Megadeth, personally I don't know why people are so scared of formatting, just backup what you have and clean install | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | gregg: never seen a panel version. | 09:31 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, oh ok thanks. just curious, on their site there's just 32 | 09:31 |
| gregg | Dr_Willis: sorry can't remember what it's called - in lucid, the built-in social whatever... connects also to facebook chat.... | 09:31 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: lubuntu is so lacking in ways compared to gnome or kde.. its scary :) try the live cd's and see what you like. | 09:31 |
| Megadeth | inglor: I'd do that but can't mount the drive.. so how will I backup | 09:31 |

| sda_ | hi all, Question: I just installed UB10.04, in UB9.10 or before i was able to see the current path like a string, and edit like a text, here i cannot understand if is possible and how to! can someone help me? thanks! | 09:32 |
| gregg | Dr_Willis: hehe - it's not really working for me - and when i restart it just shows me as offline | 09:32 |
| inglor | Megadeth, ubuntu is 'supposed' to run 'fsck' when it boots automatically, I'm guessing that didn't work, | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: so thats not exactly a lxde issue. | 09:32 |
| robertzaccour | i'll try a live cd later on | 09:32 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, really? | 09:33 |
| inglor | Megadeth, what drive can't you mount? | 09:33 |
| hatake_kakashi | !lucid > sda_ | 09:33 |
| ubottu | sda_, please see my private message | 09:33 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, don't they have control of their defaults? | 09:33 |
| Megadeth | inglor: It did and it said I need to run it manually without -a or -p | 09:33 |
| robertzaccour | oh i see whacha mean | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | robertzaccour: yes.. one of the reasons lubuntu is not a official relaease yet (like kubuntu, or xubuntu) is its lacking such tools (from what i hear) | 09:33 |
| inglor | Megadeth, and the kernel won't load in failsafe mode? | 09:33 |
| Megadeth | inglor: my hard drive.. the one on which ubuntu is installed | 09:33 |
| Megadeth | inglor: how do I go into failsafe mode | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | theres no lubuntu-specific network-manager applet/tools. | 09:33 |
| Flo_Bots | Everyone there is a AVG version for ubuntu and i have help Make the gui for much better if you would like the downlaod plz say "I" | 09:33 |
| robertzaccour | Dr_Willis, that shouldn't be hard to put in | 09:34 |
| hatake_kakashi | !repeat | Flo_Bots | 09:34 |
| ubottu | Flo_Bots: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 09:34 |
| inglor | Megadeth, I'm going to guess you're booting with grub right? | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Flo_Bots: you work for AVG? | 09:34 |
| robertzaccour | why would we need avg? | 09:34 |
| Megadeth | inglor: No, I'm using lilo. I installed Ubuntu from the MiniCD and during installation, it wasn't able to install grub2.0.. I don't remember what the error was.. it was a few months ago.. so I installed lilo | 09:34 |
| Flo_Bots | No but i have work with MadnessRed and help creat the GUI for it | 09:34 |
| inglor | robertzaccour, I got AVG for ubuntu, ran it twice in over a year, both times to check a file before moving it to windows | 09:35 |
| inglor | lilo, wow, haven't used that in like 5 years, lemme see if I can recall | 09:35 |
| robertzaccour | inglor, i don't move files to other computers, ubuntu is solo :) | 09:35 |
| Megadeth | :) | 09:35 |
| foxmulder881 | I've never understood why people run AVG on *nix. You simply just don't need it. | 09:36 |
| robertzaccour | foxmulder881, if you move a file to windows you might | 09:36 |
| purestrain | maybe because of windows clients? | 09:36 |
| robertzaccour | or if you run a server | 09:36 |
| inglor | robertzaccour, if all your friends also use linux you have very well educated friends, because all mine are using windows so I scan some stuff before I forward it to them | 09:36 |
| === andy is now known as Guest67295 | ||
| robertzaccour | i don't personally know anyone else that uses linux | 09:37 |

| sandking_ | hi | 09:37 |
| sandking_ | does anyone has experience with Jack and MIDI keyboards? | 09:37 |
| Megadeth | inglor: yes, I think it was "B" that took me to the menu last time | 09:38 |
| sandking_ | i got error like this cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority 10) [for thread 716125936, from thread 716125936] (1: Operation not permitted) | 09:38 |
| inglor | Megadeth, and that menu does not have a failsafe option? | 09:38 |
| sandking_ | but when i sudo it runs ok | 09:38 |
| Megadeth | inglor: No, it just said "Linux" among the choices | 09:38 |
| inglor | robertzaccour, and don't you ever send them stuff? see as windows users they can actually get viruses... | 09:38 |
| inglor | Megadeth, what were the other options? | 09:39 |
| Megadeth | inglor: Just "Linux" and "Windows", though I don't have Windows anymore | 09:39 |
| dom__ | witaj | 09:39 |
| inglor | Megadeth, maybe it tells you to press a key to costum boot? (just haven't used LILO in a while) | 09:39 |

| robertzaccour | if people really care that much about security they'll eventually stumble across OS alternatives to windows | 09:41 |
| inglor | there probably is a way to boot into fialsafe kernel mode | 09:41 |
| schmutzfinger | i have a kubuntu 9.10 system with a messed up package selection | 09:41 |
| schmutzfinger | no kernel or bootloader installed | 09:41 |
| inglor | robertzaccour, that's the problem, they don't... but if they get a virus they're still mad at you | 09:41 |
| robertzaccour | all you have to know to search google is the words alternative and better than, and you can have a different OS up and runnin that same day lol | 09:41 |
| schmutzfinger | someone really broke it ... | 09:41 |
| Megadeth | inglor: Okay I'll try that and be back in a few minutes | 09:41 |
| inglor | schmutzfinger, you can't have no kernel installed :) | 09:42 |
| schmutzfinger | can anyone provide me with a dpkg --get-selections | 09:42 |
| schmutzfinger | inglor: you can ... | 09:42 |
| inglor | schmutzfinger, the kernel is the core of the OS, without it you can't run anything let alone chat in IRC or run commands | 09:43 |
| foxmulder881 | robertzaccour, sorry but I think people get a little paranoid. Smarter computing is more important. I run a linux system, a windows system and a windows server with no protection on anything. And I never have any problems. | 09:43 |
| schmutzfinger | i need anyone with access to a reasonably clean kubuntu 9.10 to give me the output of dpkg --get-selections | 09:43 |
| schmutzfinger | inglor: maybe i am chatting from another machine and plan to repair the broken one with a rescue shell? | 09:44 |

| Dr_Willis | stuart_: never heard of that specific command. Unless its a Grub specific shell command. | 10:56 |
| ManDay | sasori2501, no, it doesnt. it doesnt do anything automatically. | 10:56 |
| ManDay | i will have to revert to internal monitor by hand | 10:56 |

| arand | ManDay: And... You are looking for something that will affect (show all? switch between?) the windows but not the desktop & panels | 10:56 |
| ManDay | and if I do so, at least on karmic, everything goes frozen | 10:56 |
| ne7work | bloopletech: i can't find sound/driver? | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | stuart_: give the url to the tutorial - sounds liek it may be out of date or missing steps | 10:57 |
| ManDay | arand, based upon my impression of desktop wall i would like the "viewport with the hud" to zoom out so I see all windows - the "far away background" should stay unaffected | 10:57 |
| mnmnb | I get this error -GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem. - so no sound... | 10:57 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hey everyone does anyone know of any good programs that can find duplicate photos? I am trying to organize my photo collection and have duplicate photos scattered all over the place | 10:57 |
| maximus_ | any help ppl? | 10:58 |
| bloopletech | ne7work, yes the make script you ran reports it can't find sound/driver.h. If you read rosetto's instructions it details what to change to attempt to resolve this error | 10:58 |
| manas | hey | 10:58 |
| manas | the firefox is unable to find the missing plugins | 10:58 |
| manas | what to do | 10:58 |
| bloopletech | manas: what plugin is missing? | 10:59 |
| manas | ive just upgraded to ubuntu 10 | 10:59 |
| manas | flash i suppose | 10:59 |
| manas | cause im unable to play videos on youtube | 10:59 |
| coz_ | manas, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 10:59 |
| manas | nop | 10:59 |
| sasori2501 | ManDay: very weird, i dont know why that happened last time. and i am on 9.04 nbr, jaunty, so i should be ok. very odd though | 10:59 |
| manas | how do i do that | 10:59 |
| manas | ?? | 10:59 |
| bloopletech | manas: Use the Ubuntu Software Center, search for flash and souble click the flash plugin from adobe | 11:00 |
| ne7work | bloopletech: oh please I am new to Linux | 11:00 |
| sasori2501 | bloopletech: thank you for that, and i will copy and paste it now | 11:00 |
| ManDay | sasori2501, try lucid. everything will get better with lucid. | 11:00 |
| manas | yeah i can do that | 11:00 |
| manas | but i want firefox to do that | 11:00 |
| manas | i mean it always does it for me, after i upgraded to this new ubuntu its not doing it | 11:00 |
| bloopletech | sasori2501, Please note that your X configureation isn't the only thing associated with your display settings | 11:00 |
| manas | i think i need to enable some software sourse or something | 11:01 |
| stuart_ | ah screw that i'll just download the .iso | 11:01 |
| arand | ManDay: No, I'm sorry I don't get how your impression differs from scale for all viewports... | 11:01 |
| kutsumanimi | why does the clipboard keep emptying itself? | 11:01 |
| ManDay | arand, ok, ill draw you a picture... | 11:01 |
| bloopletech | manas: Well that would be a firefox issue, not an ubuntu issue AFAIK | 11:01 |
| kutsumanimi | and how do I stop it from doing that? | 11:01 |
| coz_ | arand, I believe he wants something like scale but 'for" viewports not windows on viewports | 11:01 |
| manas | naah | 11:01 |
| manas | i dont think so | 11:01 |
| manas | when i was updating to this lucid ubuntu | 11:02 |
| sasori2501 | ManDay: i will give it a shot when it is released, but i SERIOSULY hope that desktop switcher is back | 11:02 |
| sasori2501 | bloopletech: hmm is there anything else i should back up then??? | 11:02 |
| manas | it said that its disabeling some software sources and that il have to enable them later | 11:02 |
| bloopletech | sasori2501, Sorry, there may be, but I'm not sure where they are located | 11:02 |
| bloopletech | sasori2501, it would depend on what you are changing | 11:03 |
| coz_ | manas, also you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1 which is the lucid channel right now | 11:03 |
| sireorion | Hello i have installed httpd but where should i put my html files? | 11:03 |

| h0schi | does anyone know if i could set ubuntu/linux to act as mass storage device? so i could f.e. share a bit of my filesystem (or a raw device) to my usb-only tv | 11:06 |
| sireorion | how do i search a file? | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | sireorion: 'locate filename' is one way | 11:06 |
| ikonia | h0schi: network sharing, like NFS and Samba will work fine | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | sireorion: if your update database is update | 11:06 |
| sireorion | okey | 11:07 |
| sireorion | tnx Dr_Willis | 11:07 |
| h0schi | ikonia on my usb only tv? nope sorry | 11:07 |
| ikonia | h0schi: then why are you asking | 11:07 |
| h0schi | i want to plug my computer?s usb cable into my tv and let the tv browse my computers filesystem | 11:07 |
| ikonia | h0schi: no | 11:08 |
| Jadoza | h00k, good luck with that | 11:08 |
| Jadoza | h0schi, | 11:08 |
| Sakara | h0schi, its used to update your TV fireware software | 11:08 |
| Jadoza | too man people in here ... :) | 11:08 |
| Sakara | h0schi, not a good idea plugging your computer in there | 11:08 |
| Sakara | h0schi, if your TV has a VGA input you could plug your pc into that and use your TV as a large monitor | 11:09 |
| theadmin | Does anyone have a userID string for Firefox 3.5.8 on Karmic? | 11:09 |

| ikonia | brian: lucid is discused in #ubuntu+1 channel | 11:09 |

| Dr_Willis | h0schi: there are some tv's that can play video files from usb/sd/other things.. but ive not seen a lot of them | 11:10 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Well, ahem. Useragent string is what i meant | 11:10 |
| h0schi | let me explain by example, i can put my normal 1TB usb harddisk into my tv and watch videos/photos from this device. i think what this tiny controller on that hard disk can, linux must also can do (usb slave mode mass storage device or so) | 11:10 |
| Jadoza | h0schi, If your TV has hdmi input and your computer dvi output you can just connect them | 11:10 |
| ikonia | h0schi: you can't do what you want to do | 11:10 |
| h0schi | ikonia why should this not work? | 11:11 |
| ABOANAS93 | how to setup my ubuntu for server? | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | h0schi: becuse usb to usb..dosent work that way by default | 11:11 |
| ikonia | h0schi: because that's not how devices work | 11:11 |
| ikonia | ABOANAS93: what do you want to serve | 11:11 |
| ManDay | arand, just for you: http://s1.directupload.net/images/100411/y8e5zg5i.jpg | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | h0schi: i DID see some usb-wireless gizmo that you could plug into the tv.. andit could access shared files on a pc on the network. | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | h0schi: but i dont think its avail for sale yet. | 11:12 |
| h0schi | okay, android also does this | 11:12 |
| h0schi | when i plug my android phone into my pc using usb, i can browse the filesystem as ususal mass storage device | 11:13 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: gizmo? That's some VPN system | 11:13 |

| lang882000 | Any body can help me, how to connec host ubuntu with guest another OS in virtualbox | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | h0schi: because phones have a 'usb device mode' and a a 'usb data' mode. | 11:13 |
| theadmin | lang882000: You need to install Guest addons | 11:13 |
| trijntje | Hi all, how can I copy a password from the default keyring? I want export my wepkey without typing it again | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: this was a usb plug ya put in your PS3 or xbox or whatever and it let them access files from a pc. | 11:13 |
| h0schi | ikonia, i already read you don?t think it works, but you didn?t tell me the reaseon | 11:14 |
| ikonia | h0schi: because that's not how device files work in Linux | 11:14 |
| theadmin | Do all the device files have a mimetype of inode/blockdevice by the way? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | theadmin: not really a mime type, but they are character or block devices normally | 11:15 |
| lang882000 | theadmin : after install Guest addon, what can i do..? | 11:15 |
| arand | ManDay: Hmm, that looks really nice, I don't think I've seen anything just like that I'm afraid, (you should suggest it to the compiz devs ;), for simply the visual effect (but probably not the functional) desktop cube with 3d windows will give something vaguely similar... But no, I don't think there's anything just like that.. | 11:15 |
| theadmin | ikonia: That's what Nautilus shows after mimetype | 11:15 |
| theadmin | lang882000: Read the manuals. Never really expiremented. Also, what's your native language? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | theadmin: probably just a wording bug | 11:15 |
| ManDay | arand, yes im waiting in #compiz-dev for someone ;) | 11:16 |

| nokia3510 | Dr_Willis, any special issues regarding the upgrade ? Nvidia only related I mean | 11:32 |

| nokia3510 | for the rest i can take care, pretty much :) | 11:32 |
| Curly_Q | Just out of curiosity, I haven't used GIMP in a while. Is it comparable to Adope Photoshop CS4 or is there something available that will emulate CS4? | 11:33 |
| agike | wiesaw: trudno, zycie idzie naprzod .. jakos | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | nokia3510: the beta has had a fewissues.. it kicks into low-res mode then asks to update/fix things.. but it did fix them :) | 11:33 |
| theadmin | Curly_Q: GIMP is fine. You can run Photoshop with WINE though but don't recommend it | 11:33 |
| arvind_khadri | nokia3510, could you take it to #ubuntu+1, thanks | 11:33 |
| RainbowEyes | oh.. since I've been highlighted anyway, is there a way to draw objects in GIMP? | 11:34 |
| rory_ | can anyone tell me where the channel user list is on xchat? | 11:34 |
| Curly_Q | Theadmin, I have CS4 but just wondered about the comparison. | 11:34 |
| RainbowEyes | like squares or lines or ellipses? | 11:34 |
| nokia3510 | Dr_Willis, IIRC, that's been always an issue | 11:34 |
| nokia3510 | arvind_khadri, thanks, didn't knew about it | 11:34 |
| arvind_khadri | RainbowEyes, #gimp | 11:34 |
| rory_ | haha | 11:34 |
| theadmin | RainbowEyes: I managed to draw an ellipse with a circular selection and then "fill selection" :P | 11:34 |
| RainbowEyes | yeah... that's not really good enough imo | 11:34 |
| nokia3510 | Dr_Willis, thanks for your input | 11:34 |
| RainbowEyes | but thanks | 11:34 |
| Curly_Q | Theadmin, I just cannot see the justification of using Adobe or for that matter any software that logs into HOME BASE STATION anytime you click on the Adobe Icon, etc. | 11:35 |
| vrxchk | a raster image program is not the best tool for drawing vector polygons | 11:36 |
| Curly_Q | That would be like sending an email and someone else gets it too. | 11:37 |
| Manii | hi, how do u kill x server forcefully | 11:38 |
| frogzoo | when the eth0 i/f drops link, it loses its IP address - horribly annoying - any way to stop this happening? | 11:38 |
| theadmin | Manii: sudo service gdm restart | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | Manii: sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X | 11:38 |
| frogzoo | Manii: ctrl alt backspace | 11:38 |

| theadmin | Or Ctrl+PrtSc+K :P | 11:38 |

| ubottu | frogzoo: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 11:38 |
| arand | Manii: Or alt+sysreq+k | 11:38 |
| Manii | theadmin, say I cant access the terminal, wasnt there a short cut | 11:38 |
| Slart | Manii: I suppose pkill -9 gdm might work too | 11:39 |
| theadmin | Manii: Alt+SysRQ+K or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 11:39 |
| * Slart writes down the Alt+SysRQ+K shortcut | 11:39 | |
| Manii | ok basically, I installed the mini.iso and all the packages needed for x to start | 11:39 |
| Slart | isn't there a list of those somewhere? | 11:39 |
| Manii | I started it and now cant exit it | 11:40 |
| theadmin | Slart: It kills all apps in current virtual terminal :D | 11:40 |
| theadmin | Slart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 11:40 |
| Manii | theadmin, the prtsc one didnt work either | 11:40 |
| Slart | theadmin: nice.. there's lots of them =) | 11:40 |
| Manii | none of these shortcuts are working o.O | 11:41 |
| tom967 | hey ho | 11:41 |
| Manii | all I haz is black screen with black x mouse pointer | 11:42 |
| theadmin | Manii: Sounds like something's frozen, try Alt+SysRQ+REISUB | 11:42 |
| theadmin | REISUB = Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken | 11:43 |

| iceroot | how to remove installed kernels which are no longer needed (< uname -r)? without removing all by hand or removing them from /boot/ | 11:44 |

| Manii | there is no gdm if that changes anything | 11:44 |
| Curly_Q | Manii it sounds like your screen saver is set to BLANK. Try to get to it somehow and change the time settings. | 11:44 |
| arand | iceroot: uninstall the related image and headers packages | 11:45 |
| arvind_khadri | iceroot, aptitude remove linux-image-$VERSION and linux-headers-$VERSION | 11:45 |

| Manii | Curly_Q, I dont have any screensaver at all | 11:45 |
| monokrome | Does anyone know how I can apply a patch like this in a directory? http://lophus.org/~fred/mod_wsgi_patch.diff | 11:45 |
| Curly_Q | Manii, then, in that case it may be your Monitor Resolution settings. | 11:45 |
| monokrome | I tried: patch -p3 mod_wsgi_patch.diff | 11:46 |
| Manii | Curly_Q, I dont think so, my mouse still moves the black x pointer and it doesnt go past the edge | 11:46 |
| theadmin | iceroot: maybe something like... for f in $(dpkg -l | grep 'linux-image' ^versiontokeep) | sudo apt-get remove $f ? | 11:46 |
| arand | iceroot: computer janitor might be able to do it, make sure not to unstall anything else though, computer janitor has a tendency to "recommend" uninstalling all kinds of things.. | 11:46 |
| theadmin | err kinda messed it up a bit | 11:46 |
| iceroot | theadmin: arand ok | 11:47 |
| Curly_Q | Manii perhaps the black you are seeing is a black .img or whatever. | 11:47 |
| Manii | Curly_Q, lol no, that would be funny though | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | monokrome: any reason to use -p3 ? | 11:47 |
| Curly_Q | Manii can you right click the mouse and see anything? | 11:47 |
| Manii | Curly_Q, its a basic install and i just installed xorg and typed startx, there is no visual program at all, no DE no firefox nothing | 11:48 |
| monokrome | erUSUL: Only out of my own ignorance :D | 11:48 |
| erUSUL | monokrome: try without any -p option first and do it with --dry-run so nothing is actually done | 11:48 |
| erUSUL | monokrome: when you see it is patched ok. remove the --dry-run | 11:48 |

| erUSUL | Greek-Boy: well you need an actual usb serial hardware too | 11:49 |
| Curly_Q | Manii I had something like that happen to me a while ago. I installed Ubuntu and the screen was just an image without any use of clicking on of the mouse. Then I installed Kubuntu and I got use of the screen and mouse clicks. | 11:49 |
| erUSUL | monokrome: are you sure you need the patch ? | 11:49 |
| monokrome | ah | 11:49 |
| monokrome | I reversed the patch | 11:49 |
| monokrome | Then I reapplied it, and it compiled. | 11:49 |
| monokrome | Weird! | 11:49 |
| monokrome | My issue was that I forgot to use "<" | 11:50 |
| Greek-Boy | erUSUL: My device is plugged in | 11:50 |
| monokrome | Thank you, erUSUL. | 11:50 |
| Curly_Q | It could be that there was not enough RAM or no support for my video card with Ubuntu but it worked for Kubuntu. | 11:50 |

| psycho_oreos | zamba: so you can't follow the guide mentioned in !grub2 | 13:20 |

| geekphreak | evening folks | 13:25 |
| zamba | psycho_oreos: ok, so it shouldn't point to the "future" root? | 13:26 |
| llutz | zamba: "find /boot/grub/stage2" <- this should give you the "root (hdX,Y)" values | 13:26 |
| psycho_oreos | zamba: grub needs to look for its own root directory for stage files | 13:26 |
| zamba | llutz: got two of them, yeah | 13:26 |
| AnxiousNut | overmind:no, a gui app that would run these commands on behalf of you and install the app | 13:26 |
| zamba | llutz: the old (current) one and the new, future one | 13:26 |
| rafal_ | co to wogole jest? | 13:26 |
| psycho_oreos | and the future root is hd1 | 13:26 |

| ubottu | rafal_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 13:26 |
| llutz | zamba: use the future root | 13:27 |
| psycho_oreos | which was what I said before | 13:27 |
| zamba | psycho_oreos: ok, so grub needs the future root? not what will be the current in the future :) | 13:27 |
| zamba | psycho_oreos: the way lilo works | 13:27 |
| zamba | hehe, thanks | 13:27 |
| psycho_oreos | zamba: no if you point it to current root, it'll depend on current root to boot new drive, which is a bad idea | 13:27 |
| llutz | zamba: lilo is ugly :) i had to use it yesterday after nearly 10 yrs again... | 13:27 |
| banshee_ | Where is the autostart.sh file? | 13:27 |
| zamba | let's try a reboot now | 13:28 |

| zamba | this is maybe a stupid question, but how can i boot directly off a hard drive connected through usb? | 13:28 |
| psycho_oreos | should be possible | 13:28 |
| llutz | geekphreak: not if oyu can use grub | 13:28 |
| geekphreak | llutz: personal choice i guess :) | 13:28 |
| llutz | you* | 13:28 |
| llutz | geekphreak: sure | 13:29 |
| zamba | oh, looks like it's booting | 13:29 |
| psycho_oreos | lilo is still good, there's still things that grub can't do such as EFI based BIOS and animated boot | 13:29 |
| zaxonspox | zamba select in BIOS or F12 or F8 | 13:29 |
| miracle2k | is there *some* way to have ssh not prompt for a password? I know about public key auth, but in this particular case, I can't put a key on the server. | 13:29 |
| llutz | psycho_oreos: thats why i said "if you can use grub". you cannot always | 13:29 |
| geekphreak | much easier to uninstal lilo | 13:29 |
| MalconRox_ | how to cleanup the system if the cleanup stage was skipped? | 13:29 |
| banshee_ | What file do I need to add this line to, nitrogen --restore & to make it happen on startup? | 13:29 |
| psycho_oreos | llutz: well yes and no but I agree for most parts. That is hard to change from grub once its installed and you're also used to it | 13:30 |

| geekphreak | Zzenon_: any toolsbar you have instralled? | 13:38 |
| mrman208 | Zzenon_: try reinstalling | 13:38 |
| Curly_Q | Some of the problems with proxy servers is when script kiddies play IRC DDOS. That aggrevates many people. | 13:38 |
| mrman208 | thats what i would do | 13:39 |
| llutz | zamba: start grub-shell from grub-prompt, and do the setup again | 13:39 |
| bazhang | Curly_Q, you have been asked to remain on topic. please do so | 13:39 |
| Guest87870 | :) | 13:39 |

| mrman208 | :D | 13:39 |
| BlessJah | mrman208: don't flood | 13:39 |
| mrman208 | sorry | 13:39 |
| theadmin | DDoS, DDoS... Who cares? :/ On Windows i always get those from some weird adress, so i just blocked it with a firewall and iptables on Linux | 13:39 |
| Guest87870 | xD | 13:39 |
| Curly_Q | Bazhang the subject is Ubuntu and I was on topic. Ubuntu Proxy Servers. What is the problem with that? | 13:40 |
| AnxiousNut | budmaddock: thanks, but that isn't my question, i guess i didnt explain what i want right, never mind my question | 13:40 |
| mrman208 | can people get kicked from these rooms? | 13:40 |
| theadmin | mrman208: Yep | 13:40 |
| overmind | mrman208: Yes, this is IRC | 13:40 |
| Curly_Q | Good point Theadmin. | 13:40 |
| BlessJah | theadmin: they can block your internet connection | 13:40 |
| mrman208 | oh, ok | 13:40 |
| theadmin | BlessJah: Happened, yes, but only on Windows, on Linux... I'm fine %) | 13:40 |
| zamba | llutz: problem is probably the drive ids | 13:40 |
| overmind | theadmin++, what a scarie... a boy is going to juack me... :P | 13:41 |
| BlessJah | theadmin: u've got 1mbps, and script kiddie has 2mbps | 13:41 |
| llutz | zamba: you haven't changed your menu.lst? | 13:41 |

| G-Farkas | Hi, how much safe is remove packages from the synaptic's categories "installed (auto unistallable)" and "installed (locals or )" ??? (excuse for my english please) | 13:42 |
| zamba | llutz: nope | 13:42 |
| zamba | llutz: reran grub now | 13:42 |
| llutz | zamba: you have to, /etc/fstab too | 13:42 |
| BlessJah | overmind: so try to DoS theadmin, let's check if only firewall gonna protect him xD | 13:42 |
| geekphreak | huh | 13:42 |
| overmind | BlessJah: hahaha | 13:42 |
| mrman208 | nothing :( | 13:42 |
| llutz | zamba: if UUIDs changed, the old files point to non-existing partitions | 13:42 |
| ichigo | after clicking install , i m getting blankscreen . tried changing sata ahci->ata, no change. | 13:42 |
| manas | ave just made up my account on thunderbird but it shows me all kinds of folders from my gmail account. how can i get rid of them | 13:42 |
| zamba | llutz: oh.. how do i fix that? | 13:43 |
| theadmin | BlessJah: Woah there, I'm on another machine now. Don't you ruin my stuff o_O | 13:43 |
| mrman208 | manas: select them and press delete, i think | 13:43 |
| BlessJah | i don't know how can i create fake webcam using ws4gl (webcamstudio) | 13:43 |
| geekphreak | manas: imap account? | 13:43 |
| manas | yes | 13:43 |
| mrman208 | manas: or go to gmail and delete them from there | 13:43 |
| toehio | This is ridiculous: every time I update Ubuntu, something breaks. How is the average user supposed to use Ubuntu if after every update you have to google some new error and spend hours trying to fix it? What's the point of having updates if they just create more problems? | 13:43 |
| geekphreak | manas: they are folders from your gmail account man | 13:43 |
| llutz | zamba: using a live-cd, blkid shows you the UUIDs | 13:43 |
| BlessJah | theadmin: don't worry, he won't DoS u forever | 13:43 |
| geekphreak | toehioupdates working ok here | 13:43 |
| MalconRox_ | someone could helpme with a update (8.10->9.04) problem? | 13:43 |
| BlessJah | theadmin: we may get bored | 13:43 |
| Ki0wa | On grub, when I choose another distro Linux. It says: Use set gfxpayload=text before linux command instead. Error: couldn't read file. How can I fix it? | 13:43 |
| zamba | llutz: this is totally stupid.. do you expect me to write those values into /etc/fstab in console? | 13:44 |
| mrman208 | in the command line type gfxpayload=text | 13:44 |
| zamba | llutz: without the ability to copy it? | 13:44 |
| Curly_Q | Toehio, if you configure your system and then do an apt-get update then you are putting back the way things were supposed to be and that is why you are geting error messages. | 13:44 |
| ichigo | i m getting a blank screen during install after i click install.. rebooots if i wait for 10 min. | 13:45 |
| llutz | zamba: i don't expect you to do anything. but if you changed your drive, and the UUIDs changed, you have to fix it | 13:45 |
| mrman208 | Ki0wa: do you know how to get to the command line from grub? | 13:45 |
| psycho_oreos | zamba: you could probably copy one from your old hard drive and edit it so that it'll work | 13:45 |
| volvopeep | hello | 13:45 |
| Curly_Q | If it works don't fix it. <-------------------------< | 13:45 |
| Ki0wa | mrman208: nope. | 13:45 |
| zamba | why can't i just enter /dev/sda2 instead of that UUID-thing? | 13:45 |
| geekphreak | agrees with Curly_Q | 13:45 |
| llutz | zamba: you can | 13:45 |
| zamba | then i'll do that | 13:45 |
| toehio | Curly_Q: from one moment to the next, I can't mount SFTP/FTP or any network location. How does my configuring the system come in there? | 13:45 |

| rabbit1 | USB NOT DETECTING --- ubuntu 8.04 AMD Athlon X2 64bit -- any help? | 13:48 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: i sure do | 13:48 |
| volvopeep | ya I had the same problem | 13:48 |
| zamba | geekphreak: where is grub config? | 13:48 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: still working on it? | 13:48 |
| zamba | geekphreak: /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 13:48 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak: ws4gl aka webcamstudio should solve it | 13:48 |
| volvopeep | its the video card uselly | 13:48 |
| ichigo | i m sorry, i disabled ahci ->ata in hard disk. i dont know how to disable accpi in grub | 13:48 |
| geekphreak | zamba: yes in /boot/grub/ | 13:49 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: any new hardware recently installed? | 13:49 |
| psycho_oreos | rabbit1: I don't understand what you mean by usb not detecting, what? | 13:49 |
| padraic_ | press tab at the boot screen | 13:49 |
| ichigo | can someone tell me the syntax. | 13:49 |
| padraic_ | and add acpi=off | 13:49 |
| rabbit1 | hexdump_: nop | 13:49 |
| zamba | looks like i've rendered my system completely useless now | 13:49 |
| geekphreak | zamba: if you have neere version of ubuntu, it is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 13:49 |
| zamba | i had two drives, now i have none | 13:49 |
| zamba | grub is piece of shit | 13:49 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: what exactly do you mean by usb? any device? | 13:49 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak: but i dont know how to use it, and there is no manuals | 13:49 |
| zamba | with lilo this was possible | 13:49 |
| geekphreak | zamba: watch language plz | 13:49 |
| zamba | nothing boots now | 13:50 |
| rabbit1 | hexdump_: Pendrive is not detected in any of my usb ports available | 13:50 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: was your usb working before, and have you checked your logs? | 13:50 |
| geekphreak | zamba: got live cd? | 13:50 |
| a_h_roth | Hello. I have an odd problem: I upgraded ubuntu server from karmic to lucid, over ssh (I know, I know). The upgrade worked OK: except: I can only now access the box via ssh. I can't access it at the console. After initial boot, the screen goes blank, and nothing can be seen. Does anyone have any suggestions, or do I need to reinstall the OS? | 13:50 |
| zamba | geekphreak: nope.. i -had- a working second drive, but that stopped working after i changed the root in /etc/fstab for the first drive | 13:50 |
| rabbit1 | hexdump_: yes, it was working before, but din't use it for a long time. | 13:50 |
| rabbit1 | hexdump_: i actually was using windows xp, since 6 months i am using ubuntu | 13:51 |
| geekphreak | zamba: well change setting back lol :) | 13:51 |
| peterPPP | Hi, can I name my log rotation configuration file for my own logs under /etc/logrotate.d at will or is the filename important to make it work? | 13:51 |
| zamba | geekphreak: none of the disks boot now | 13:51 |
| rabbit1 | hexdump_: early stage of ubuntu it was working but not after 5 months | 13:51 |
| geekphreak | zamba: use ubuntu live cd to boot, | 13:51 |
| Curly_Q | A h try doing an apt-get update and see if that restores the default settings. | 13:51 |
| Curly_Q | Via ssh that is A h. | 13:52 |
| a_h_roth | Curly_Q: Already done multiple times. No luck. | 13:52 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: rabbit1: try lsusb | 13:52 |
| geekphreak | zamba: when desktop is up in live cd, open terminal and mount that partition, to edit the files | 13:52 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: tell me if anything resembling your pen drive shows up | 13:52 |
| a_h_roth | I should also mention that I had jwm installed. Maybe the upgrade got confused and tries to auto-boot into X? | 13:52 |
| zamba | geekphreak: can't i just edit the boot options in grub? | 13:52 |
| zamba | geekphreak: change root? | 13:52 |
| geekphreak | zamba: yes you can , but i prefer it the old fashioned way :) | 13:53 |
| llutz | zamba: change root + kernel + initrd (if used) | 13:53 |
| Curly_Q | A h have you tried to update the GUI? | 13:53 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: anything? | 13:53 |
| zamba | llutz: unrecognized device string | 13:53 |
| zamba | llutz: i removed the uuids and replaced that with /dev/sda2 | 13:54 |
| budmaddock | BlessJah: dmesg should tell you if something was just plugged into a usb port. If your device (external drive?) is plugged in then mount the device discovered to /mnt and ls /mnt to see the content. | 13:54 |
| a_h_roth | Curly_Q: hadn't thought of that. But to what? Obviously sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade would update jwm. Are you suggesting a different GUI? | 13:54 |
| BlessJah | budmaddock: not me | 13:54 |
| llutz | zamba: try (hd0,1) | 13:54 |
| zamba | llutz: where? | 13:54 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: whats the name of the tools you working with now? | 13:54 |
| llutz | zamba: root + kernel + initrd (if used) | 13:54 |
| xomp | guys, how would I make an archive of a folder? I'm not looking for high compression just fast compression if that's possible :) | 13:54 |
| llutz | zamba: wherever a device is needed | 13:54 |
| geekphreak | xomp: tar -cvf name.tar /folder | 13:54 |
| llutz | xomp: tar cf folder.tar folder/ | 13:55 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak: webcamstudio from ws4gl.org | 13:55 |
| xomp | cheers \o | 13:55 |
| zamba | llutz: "(hd0,1)/boot/..." doesn't really look valid to me | 13:55 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: ok let me check it | 13:55 |
| vrxchk | with compression, tar -czvf | 13:55 |
| Curly_Q | A h consider that if you want to re-install the OS wouldn't it be better to just try another GUI just to prove to yourself that it may be the solution? | 13:55 |
| * BlessJah allows geekphreak to check it | 13:55 | |
| a_h_roth | Curly_Q: That makes total sense. I'll give that a try. | 13:55 |
| llutz | zamba: there hadn't been UUIDs before, so no (hdXY) is needed now | 13:55 |
| hexdump_ | rabbit1: ummm, anything? | 13:55 |
| xerox1 | hi, are there any console tools for voice recording? | 13:56 |
| zamba | llutz: hm? | 13:56 |
| zamba | llutz: what does that mean? | 13:56 |
| zamba | llutz: what is needed now then? | 13:56 |
| Curly_Q | A h let me know how it works out. :) | 13:56 |
| a_h_roth | Curly_Q: sure. | 13:56 |
| llutz | zamba: you should replace the UUIDs with (hd0,1) where UUID were before and only there | 13:56 |
| hexdump_ | well I'm out then. See ya'll later. | 13:57 |
| BlessJah | xerox1: arecord from alsa | 13:57 |
| Ki0wa | Nothing...................... | 13:57 |
| llutz | zamba: so if only the root= had UUIDs just change that particular line | 13:57 |
| xerox1 | BlessJah, thx, i will have a look at it | 13:57 |
| zamba | llutz: i get the system booted if the second hard drive is spinned up and available | 13:57 |
| Curly_Q | Zamba are you trying to install Ubuntu with GRUB? | 13:57 |
| zamba | llutz: so it looks like it reads the mbr from my new drive, but still depends on the old drive | 13:58 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: i'm trying to replace my hard drive | 13:58 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: but grub is lousy, compared to lilo when it comes to this | 13:58 |
| Curly_Q | Zamba replacing your hard drive has nothing to do with Ubuntu or GRUB. | 13:58 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: well, i need a mbr to boot? | 13:58 |
| llutz | zamba: can you enter a grub-shell at boot-prompt? | 13:59 |
| zamba | llutz: we'll see now | 13:59 |
| Curly_Q | There you go Zamba, you just came to a great conclusion. MBR. | 13:59 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: well.. the problem here is that stuff points to the old drive still | 13:59 |
| zamba | llutz: i think | 13:59 |
| Curly_Q | Zamba start from the beginning. This problem has been done here over and over. | 14:00 |
| scott__ | Hey everyone. Does anyone know why webpages display "oddly" in Firefox compared to Firefox on Windows? | 14:00 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: that's not really helping | 14:00 |
| llutz | zamba: yes or no? | 14:00 |
| zamba | llutz: it's still booting | 14:00 |
| Curly_Q | Zamba are you trying to set the BIOS and have you done that already? | 14:00 |
| zamba | llutz: have to do some disk checking now - of course :p | 14:00 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: bios? | 14:00 |
| bbq^ | scott__, what doe you mean by oddly ? | 14:00 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: can i pm ? | 14:00 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak: sure | 14:00 |
| zamba | Curly_Q: what has the bios to do with this? | 14:00 |
| llutz | zamba: grub-shell from grub-prompt i meant, before booting | 14:00 |
| zamba | llutz: oh, yeah.. i can | 14:00 |
| Curly_Q | Because you said here that you want to change hard drives. | 14:01 |
| zamba | llutz: that's where i tried modifying things | 14:01 |
| geekphreak | BlessJah: see if that helps | 14:01 |
| ichigo | During install, F6->other options i enabled acpi=off and clicked install. still same error. Help me pls | 14:01 |
| zamba | llutz: but i have no idea what to change | 14:01 |
| Curly_Q | Actually you said: "I am trying to replace my hard drive..." | 14:01 |
| zamba | llutz: too many UUIDs | 14:01 |
| llutz | zamba: not the edit-mode, the shell mode | 14:01 |
| budmaddock | llutz: I think the mbr from the first drive on the system is always used (hd0,0). Grub leaves all the old stuff under "other system" or some name like that. | 14:01 |
| zamba | llutz: *sigh* again, i don't know what that means | 14:01 |
| scott__ | bbq^ - For instance, I do my shopping on ASDA.com and the fonts look smaller. Also, the webpage for my bank login is out of place. https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/customer.ibc?WT.ac=hpIBlogon take a look | 14:01 |
| llutz | zamba: pressing "c" not "e" | 14:01 |
| Curly_Q | Replacing a Hard Drive is a physical thing. Formatting or FDISK or anything else is not a replacement. | 14:02 |
| teguh | hi... | 14:02 |
| zamba | llutz: ah! ok.. yeah, got it | 14:02 |
| zamba | llutz: what now? | 14:02 |
| llutz | zamba: opened the shell? | 14:02 |
| zamba | llutz: yup | 14:02 |
| llutz | zamba: root (hd0,1) | 14:02 |
| bbq^ | it can sometimes be the default fonts used, for example if you are using a custom theme and gnome it can cause changes in appearance to the browser. Fonts will be different under linux than windows. However not usually are they worse. | 14:02 |
| scott__ | bbq^ - The fields are out of place on my bank login and push the text to one side. On firefox on Windows it's perfect. | 14:03 |
| llutz | zamba: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vm <- then press TAB-key to autocomplete | 14:03 |
| ichigo | @psycho_oreos, sorry for disturbing. i m not able to get the setup screen even after disabling acpi | 14:03 |
| bbq^ | scott__, the login fields seem fine for me | 14:03 |
| bbq^ | are you using any themes ? | 14:03 |
| scott__ | bbq^ I'm using the default theme. | 14:03 |
| llutz | zamba: initrf (hd0,1)/boot/in <- TAB-key again to complete | 14:03 |
| scott__ | Human. | 14:03 |
| bbq^ | odd, you running Karmic 9.10 ? | 14:03 |
| llutz | zamba: boot <enter> | 14:03 |
| scott__ | Yea bbq^. What do you have set for the default fonts in Firefox? | 14:04 |
| zamba | llutz: Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist | 14:04 |
| zamba | oh | 14:04 |
| zamba | nevermind | 14:04 |
| behappy | hello is there channel talk about linux for mobile ? | 14:04 |
| bbq^ | in firefox my default font is serif, size 16 | 14:04 |
| scott__ | likewise :) | 14:04 |
| llutz | zamba: initrd (hd0,1)/boot/in <- TAB-key again to complete typo sorry | 14:04 |
| zamba | yeah, saw that :) | 14:05 |
| zamba | booting now | 14:05 |
| bbq^ | hmm thats weird, try CTRL + F5 | 14:05 |
| scott__ | Proportional: Serif 16, Serif = serif, sans serif = sans-serif and Monospace = monospace 12. | 14:05 |
| llutz | zamba: if it finishes boot, setup grub again and check /etc/fstab | 14:05 |
| scott__ | Still the same, Shall I upload a screenshot so you can see what I mean by looking odd?# | 14:05 |
| bbq^ | hrmm, well the only difference is on my system appearance my monospace font ( infact all fonts ) are set to size 8 | 14:05 |
| arvind_khadri | behappy, #openmoko | 14:05 |
| bbq^ | yea do that scopecreep | 14:05 |
| zamba | llutz: nope.. wouldn't boot.. dropped to initramfs | 14:05 |
| bbq^ | woops | 14:06 |
| bbq^ | scott__, | 14:06 |
| zamba | llutz: Gave up waiting for root device | 14:06 |
| llutz | zamba: wrong UUID for / in /etc/fstab, still pointing to the non-existing old partition | 14:06 |
| zamba | llutz: can't i specify root manually? | 14:07 |
| scott__ | bbq^ - http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/7255/screenshotjc.png | 14:07 |
| zamba | llutz: i definitely changed that to /dev/sda2 | 14:07 |
| zamba | llutz: in /etc/fstab | 14:07 |
| bbq^ | here scott__ , this thread describes something similar to your issue | 14:07 |
| bbq^ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309467 | 14:07 |
| llutz | zamba: then it _should_ have worked... | 14:07 |
| zamba | llutz: story of my life, it doesn't | 14:08 |
| bbq^ | yep i see scott__ , i think that thead may help | 14:08 |
| llutz | zamba: when did the error1 occur in grub? after the "root" line? | 14:08 |
| bbq^ | sometimes themes cause these issues when they change the system fonts | 14:08 |
| scott__ | I'll have a look - one see. | 14:08 |
| scott__ | sec* | 14:08 |
| bbq^ | :) | 14:08 |
| zamba | llutz: in the beginning | 14:08 |
| [red]Dragon | salve a tutti | 14:08 |
| zamba | llutz: can't i do anything with initramfs? | 14:09 |
| [red]Dragon | italian | 14:09 |
| vrxchk | scott, do u have previously resized with CTRL-WHEELMOUSE? | 14:09 |
| zamba | oh! | 14:09 |
| vrxchk | have u | 14:09 |
| zamba | the new / is ext4, whereas the old one was ext3 | 14:09 |
| scott__ | vrxchk - I don't believe so. | 14:09 |
| vrxchk | usually when the font is the wrong size.. 99% of the time that's what i did on mine | 14:10 |
| scott__ | nope, no differance with mouse wheel. | 14:10 |
| llutz | zamba: you havent changed that? | 14:10 |
| Monotoko | hi | 14:10 |
| zamba | llutz: when i did mount /dev/sda2 / in initramfs i got: ext3-fs: sda2: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240). | 14:10 |
| zamba | llutz: sure.. that shouldn't matter? | 14:10 |
| llutz | zamba: try mount -t ext4 | 14:10 |
| scott__ | bbq^ how would i go about replacing my fonts? | 14:10 |
| zamba | llutz: let's see | 14:11 |
| ichigo | someone pls help. not able to enter setup screen in ubuntu installation even after disabling acpi=off by F6 other options | 14:11 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo is this a new installation? | 14:12 |
| ichigo | yeah | 14:13 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo how much RAM do you have and what is the size of your hard drive? | 14:13 |
| behappy | <arvind_khadri>: thank you , do you know which mobile phone support linux ? | 14:13 |
| ichigo | fresh install, new pc 2 GB ram, 2.13 Ghz, dell inspiron 14 | 14:13 |
| zamba | llutz: looks like it's mounted | 14:13 |
| zamba | llutz: what now? | 14:13 |
| Curly_Q | Sounds about right Ichigo. Where did you go wrong? | 14:14 |
| zamba | llutz: can i get it to continue bootin? | 14:14 |
| llutz | zamba: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab to make sure they point to correct devices | 14:14 |
| zamba | llutz: i'm still in initramfs | 14:14 |
| ichigo | i m not able to run the live cd also. when i click try ubuntu, blank screen appears | 14:14 |
| zamba | llutz: can i do it from that? | 14:14 |
| ichigo | friends suggested to try by disabling accpi, still same problem existss | 14:14 |
| bbq^ | sorry scott__ , was just awy | 14:14 |
| scott__ | no problem. | 14:15 |
| llutz | zamba: i hope so | 14:15 |
| bbq^ | go to System->Preferences->appearance | 14:15 |
| bbq^ | then click the Fonts Tab | 14:15 |
| bbq^ | mine are all set to size 8, all are Sans - except Window Title Font ( which is Sans Bold ) and Fixed Width Font ( which is Monospace ) | 14:16 |
| scott__ | I don't see a way of replacing a font that way. I need to remove a font and reinstall it using replacements i have | 14:16 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo, give this a try. Download Kubuntu is what I did after having something of what you are experiencing. Then do an apt-get and fix it that way. If you have vid or screen problems then, the Kubuntu worked for me and the drivers were in that version of Ubuntu. | 14:16 |
| zamba | llutz: need to find an editor first.... | 14:16 |
| llutz | zamba: vi? | 14:16 |
| zamba | llutz: nope | 14:16 |
| scott__ | fixed width is monspace for me | 14:16 |
| bbq^ | you don't need to remove any fonts scott__ , simply change the fonts the system uses by default | 14:16 |
| llutz | zamba: ed nano | 14:16 |
| scott__ | all 10 | 14:16 |
| bbq^ | hrmm, well try lowering the size | 14:16 |
| bbq^ | see if that helps i guess | 14:16 |
| zamba | llutz: neither | 14:17 |
| bbq^ | other than that i am fresh out of ideas - sorry :( | 14:17 |
| llutz | zamba: e3 msword ;) | 14:17 |
| zamba | llutz: hehe | 14:17 |
| scott__ | bbq^ that worked. | 14:17 |
| ichigo | i tried installing, mandravia, opensuse yday.. after installation 100 %, reboots, start up text appears, blank sdcreeen | 14:17 |
| bbq^ | oh good :) | 14:17 |
| scott__ | application font was set to 10 and it seems to effect some pages. | 14:18 |
| masterkorp | hello | 14:18 |
| ichigo | @curl, i m able to get into live session also, but CD is fine, checked in desktop | 14:18 |
| bbq^ | yea i think it did for me a while back to | 14:18 |
| bbq^ | i always have smaller fonts for some reason | 14:18 |
| bbq^ | so never encountered that issue :0 | 14:18 |
| Zesturian | Hello, I'm attempting to follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CoreTemp -- yet when I attempt to make, I get "make: Nothing to be done for `all'.", where am I going wrong? Am I just using a too up to date kernel? (2.6.31-20-generic (Karmic)) | 14:18 |
| scott__ | Problem, size 8 at my resolution is super small. | 14:18 |
| scott__ | Any way of increasing it without damaging firefox? | 14:18 |
| bbq^ | hrmm, well perhaps try incrementing it bit by bit and see when it fails | 14:19 |
| bbq^ | also fiddling with the firefox fonts might have an impact | 14:19 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo have you tried to use a different Computer Monitor to see if the fault is the Monitor. Perhaps Ubuntu does not support that monitor by default. | 14:19 |
| llutz | zamba: chroot /mountpoint/of/sda2 | 14:19 |
| scott__ | anything above 8 = fail | 14:19 |
| zamba | llutz: let's see | 14:20 |
| Curly_Q | A default setting with Ubuntu is a GENERIC default. | 14:20 |
| bbq^ | gay, what resoultion you running ? | 14:20 |
| ichigo | @curl, u feel monitor may be an issue :( i m using a new laptop, . | 14:20 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo, use a cable and see if an external monitor will work. | 14:21 |
| scott__ | 1920x1200 | 14:21 |
| ichigo | yeah wil try tat now | 14:21 |
| ichigo | thanks curl :) | 14:21 |
| zamba | llutz: that command just hangs | 14:21 |
| Curly_Q | Your welcome Ichigo. Let me know if that works. | 14:21 |
| bbq^ | thats really weird its doing that, sorry scott__ i really don't anymore things to do | 14:21 |
| zamba | llutz: have to reboot | 14:22 |
| budmaddock | Zesturian: That means that the packages have been built and you need only to do a "make install" to put them in their final directories. | 14:22 |
| llutz | zamba: better use a live-cd or thumb-drive-linux to fix | 14:22 |
| scott__ | I'll keep having a go with things and see what I come up with. Thanks bbq! | 14:22 |
| Curly_Q | Ichigo make sure you power down before plugging in any cables on that computer. | 14:22 |
| bbq^ | no worries scott__ :) | 14:22 |
| zamba | llutz: small thumb drive linux i can use? | 14:22 |
| kbrosnan | scott__: do you have the ms core fonts installed? nearly every page makes use of arial, new times roman or verdana | 14:22 |
| llutz | zamba: everything with ext4 support | 14:23 |
| scott__ | I believe so. I installed Ubuntu restricted extras | 14:23 |
| scott__ | or whatever it's called I forget. | 14:23 |
| Zesturian | budmaddock, doing that produces: "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop." | 14:23 |
| Curly_Q | Time for another beer. The bar is open folks. :) | 14:23 |
| bbq^ | yea installling the ms fonts might help scott__ | 14:23 |
| scott__ | ms fonts are installed via Ubuntu restricted extras. | 14:24 |
| Curly_Q | Bbq^ have you used .ttf True Type Fonts with Linux? | 14:24 |
| bbq^ | not that i am aware of Curly_Q | 14:25 |
| Zesturian | budmaddock, http://pastesite.com/14759 is all the make file is as per the wiki entry. | 14:25 |
| bbq^ | i don't bother much with the fonts | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning | 14:25 |
| zamba | small live-cd that i can run off a thumb drive to recover my system? | 14:25 |
| bbq^ | have you Curly_Q ? | 14:25 |
| zamba | i don't fancy downloading 700 MB for this | 14:25 |
| llutz | zamba: systemrescuecd | 14:25 |
| arvind_khadri | behappy, nokia n900 | 14:25 |
| geekphreak | eveving folks | 14:26 |
| llutz | zamba: or check dsl, damnsmalllinux | 14:26 |
| arvind_khadri | behappy, you can google about it | 14:26 |
| llutz | zamba: not sure about ext4 in dsl | 14:26 |
| Curly_Q | Bbq^ I have read somewhere that you can use them. But I have a storage disk with about 20,000 fonts and the goofy WingDings if you ever have seen them. | 14:26 |
| scott__ | How can I "reset" firefox. I'm not sure if I have messed with the settings.. I was tired last night. | 14:26 |
| budmaddock | Zesturian: Er, ya. Well have you run ./configure with the configure options that you want? That should generate the make file again. | 14:26 |
| bastid_raZor | scott__: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old then restart firefox | 14:27 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak: works! | 14:27 |
| Curly_Q | Scott go to Tools options and set default. | 14:27 |
| bbq^ | i have seen them Curly_Q | 14:27 |
| Curly_Q | It is RESTORE defaults. | 14:27 |
| scott__ | I dont see an options under tools | 14:27 |
| geekphreak1 | hmm | 14:27 |
| BlessJah | geekphreak1: works! | 14:27 |
| llutz | bbq^: yo can use ttf like other fonts too | 14:27 |
| geekphreak1 | BlessJah: great :) | 14:27 |
| Zesturian | budmaddock, there is no configure, it's a C file on its own, I don't see why it's not just a gcc rather than a make. | 14:27 |
| bbq^ | oh right, well as i said llutz i don't really notice any font issues, although they would be handy with GIMP and openoffice | 14:28 |
| scott__ | bastid - that did it lol | 14:28 |
| bbq^ | where are fonts installed by default anyway | 14:28 |
| llutz | !fonts > bbq^ | 14:28 |
| ubottu | bbq^, please see my private message | 14:28 |
| bbq^ | oh wow thanks llutz :p | 14:28 |
| behappy | arvind_khadri: thank you very much | 14:29 |
| scott__ | didn't fix it though. | 14:29 |
| teguh | hello..., any body can help me to make ubuntu on my laptop is faster..? | 14:29 |
| geekphreak1 | teguh: paddle faster lol | 14:29 |
| bastid_raZor | scott__: you can pull your bookmarks and whatnot from the ~/.mozilla.old folder if you wish.. if you don't want anything you can delete the folder. otherwise since that didn't help you can simple rm ~/.mozilla then mv ~/mozilla.old ~/.mozilla to restore your old configurations | 14:29 |
| geekphreak1 | teguh: how much ram you got? | 14:29 |
| bbq^ | oh i see /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 14:29 |
| Curly_Q | Scott try an apt-get update. | 14:29 |
| bbq^ | cheers llutz | 14:29 |
| Dale | ok, the last bunch of updates destroyed my firefox | 14:29 |
| Dale | which kinda sucks | 14:29 |
| arvind_khadri | !boot > teguh | 14:30 |
| ubottu | teguh, please see my private message | 14:30 |
| scott__ | It's fine, I backed up my bookmarks and I've just restored them in Firefox... Now how do I get the fonts to behave xD | 14:30 |
| geekphreak1 | arvind_khadri: :p | 14:30 |
| budmaddock | Zesturian: make adds the required libraries. Try commenting out the clean line? | 14:30 |
| Dale | is there a known issue / fix for the firefox breakage? | 14:30 |
| agronholm | hi, has anyone else come across this error when attempting to upgrade ubuntu karmic server to lucid b2? Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall | 14:30 |
| Curly_Q | Scott Click on the HELP button and check for updates. | 14:30 |
| llutz | !lucid | agronholm | 14:31 |
| ubottu | agronholm: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 14:31 |
| bbq^ | i swear linux installs vary from install to install scott__ , i have the same version installed on a few computers very similar in spec and they all are different slightly -__- | 14:31 |
| agronholm | ok | 14:31 |
| scott__ | haha! | 14:31 |
| bbq^ | this may come in handy scott__ , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts | 14:31 |
| scott__ | There is no check for updates under help in firefox | 14:31 |
| Mechdave | Anyone know the difference between 9.10 and 10.04 when it comes to direct usb port access? | 14:32 |
| geekphreak1 | Dale: have you tried using new profile >> /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager | 14:32 |
| Curly_Q | Yes there is. | 14:32 |
| scott__ | Not for me Curly.. There is on windows but i can't seem to see it in firefox for ubuntu | 14:32 |
| Zesturian | Still no dice budmaddock | 14:32 |
| Curly_Q | Do a Google and do an apt-get install update for firefox. | 14:33 |
| scott__ | Running latest version of firefox. | 14:34 |
| Dale | yup, same problem | 14:34 |
| dhanesh | hi | 14:34 |
| scott__ | 3.5.9 | 14:34 |
| scott__ | isn't there a 3.6 now?! | 14:34 |
| Dale | Serious fd usage error 19 - Serious fd usage error 16 | 14:34 |
| Dale | arrggh | 14:34 |
| scott__ | there is! bah, why ubuntu tell me 3.5.9 is latest | 14:34 |
| Jadoza | I'm running 3.6.3 | 14:34 |
| Curly_Q | Scott then click on HELP then click on HELP CONTENTS and type in the update command in the help section. | 14:35 |
| bbq^ | try downloading from mozilla site scott__ | 14:35 |
| scott__ | im going to bbq... i installed the update using the ubuntu update manager | 14:35 |
| Dale | scott__: your firefox just break on an update? | 14:36 |
| budmaddock | Zesturian: Ok, open the makefile if there is one and it should contain something like gcc -- options, cc --options etc. but the file will be called makefile, make makes a makefile | 14:36 |
| Jadoza | Oh, man ... the 10.04 updates are really adding up :) 200 MB in one go after just a few days | 14:36 |
| scott__ | No dale, it's telling me 3.5.9 is the latest (which it is of the 3.5 branch) | 14:36 |
| scott__ | bbq how the hell do i install this - unless its a deb im lost lol | 14:36 |
| dhanesh | latest version of windows is windows 7 | 14:36 |
| bbq^ | scott__, its because ubuntu repos are not updated yet | 14:37 |
| Zesturian | budmaddock, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CoreTemp it's a C file, it has you create a Makefile. | 14:37 |
| bbq^ | lol | 14:37 |
| bbq^ | hold on let me download and check | 14:37 |
| Curly_Q | Scott it may be that you need to be sudo -i to correct that. Always remember permissions. | 14:37 |
| scott__ | it's a tar.bz2 which is an archive obviously | 14:37 |
| bbq^ | ooo i don't want to updated i am running 3.5.9 and <3 my theme | 14:37 |
| dhanesh | Zesturian latest version of windows is windows 7 | 14:37 |
| bbq^ | extract it and read it | 14:37 |
| scott__ | firefox folder full of goodies | 14:37 |
| scott__ | linux stuff makes my brain hurt lol | 14:38 |
| bbq^ | have a look at README | 14:38 |
| Zesturian | dhanesh, I never asked. I don't care either ;) | 14:38 |
| bbq^ | mine too ^^ | 14:38 |
| scott__ | awesome readme go to http://getfirefox.com/releases/ lol | 14:38 |
| Dale | scott__: inside the archive is the executable | 14:38 |
| dhanesh | Zesturian which os do you like? | 14:39 |
| Curly_Q | Not being a superuser will allow an update but being superuser or root will allow the update. | 14:39 |
| scott__ | firefox-bin ? | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | ok, open terminal | 14:39 |
| Dale | ./firefox | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | that might work | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | if not ./configure then make then sudo make install | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | i guess | 14:39 |
| Dale | and yeh firefox-bin does the same, can just click on it | 14:39 |
| Dale | it doesnt need built | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | oh good | 14:39 |
| kbrosnan | no you can't launch firefox from firefox-bin | 14:39 |
| bbq^ | you find mozilla site really slow to download | 14:40 |
| dhanesh | Zesturian which os do you like? | 14:40 |
| bbq^ | i only get 40kbps | 14:40 |
| geekphreak1 | be right back | 14:40 |
| Zesturian | dhanesh, linux... I'm in a linux channel, it's pretty self explanatory ;). I've been running solely linux for the past 4 years. Only computer I have with windows is my netbook and that's just because it was pre-installed. | 14:40 |
| scott__ | im in the folder on terminal | 14:40 |
| Dale | kbrosnan: going to have to disagree since I just did it | 14:40 |
| bbq^ | try running ./firefox | 14:40 |
| bbq^ | see what happens | 14:40 |
| Zesturian | That dual boots kubuntu. | 14:40 |
| scott__ | I'm trying to change to ubuntu... I used it a few years back but i've forgotten everything | 14:40 |
| scott__ | bbq it launches | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | oh good | 14:41 |
| kbrosnan | Dale: it should not unless you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | does it look like it works | 14:41 |
| scott__ | but it doesn't update my current firefox | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | nah it won't | 14:41 |
| scott__ | it launches 3.5.9 | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | it will update itself | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | lol | 14:41 |
| === jep is now known as jeprey | ||
| bbq^ | thought that might happen | 14:41 |
| scott__ | not 3.6 thats in the folder | 14:41 |
| bbq^ | just wait, downloading it now | 14:41 |
| === jeprey is now known as jeprey_ | ||
| scott__ | kk bbq | 14:41 |
| kbrosnan | scott__: you'll need to close 3.5 | 14:41 |
| bullgard | Chatzilla shows some nicks in Italic. I believe this is when the nick is logged in but has not been sending a message for a while. How long is this time before the nick becomes italic? | 14:42 |
| scott__ | balls.. i thought I had rofl | 14:42 |
| scott__ | missed the download window | 14:42 |
| EmLoD | I just lost my / drive... but i have all in /home on another partition.... What kind of information and settings will i lose if i'm unable to recover / and just do a new install? | 14:42 |
| scott__ | here we go | 14:42 |
| scott__ | still have the page render problem but it launched 3.6 | 14:42 |
| dhanesh | scott__ which is the player that can play tv stream | 14:42 |
| llutz | EmLoD:all systemwide settings, if you had mysql or other services running the databases | 14:43 |
| sivam | hi | 14:43 |
| scott__ | I wouldn't know. | 14:43 |
| bbq^ | ok scott__ , i just did the command ./firefox from inside the extracted download and it ran 3.6.3 | 14:43 |
| scott__ | bbq it did for me | 14:43 |
| sivam | I am trying to configure internet in my Ubuntu installed in vmware | 14:43 |
| scott__ | page renders wrong still | 14:43 |
| bbq^ | gay | 14:43 |
| scott__ | didn't update though | 14:43 |
| banshee_ | I like goofing around in terminal but ive ran outa fun to my knowledge, any suggestions :D | 14:43 |
| dhanesh | scott__ which is the player that can play tv stream | 14:43 |
| scott__ | system still has 3.5.9 on it | 14:43 |
| sivam | Its showing the network interface but its not connecting to internet | 14:44 |
| bbq^ | hrmm wee. 3.5.9 is still good -__- | 14:44 |
| scott__ | dhanesh - i'm new to ubuntu. I don't know :) | 14:44 |
| EmLoD | so /home basically stores data, and not settings then... | 14:44 |
| budmaddock | Zesturian: Yes, I see, he is anything but clear. Put coretemp.o into a file either his way "<< EOF > Makefile obj-m += coretemp.o" or just cat coretemp.o > /path_you_have/Makefile. Make will then make the object file coretemp.o into installable files. | 14:44 |
| scott__ | I'm gonna leave it until the "code gods" update software centre i guess. | 14:44 |
| Dale | ubuntu/mozilla really should sort out these firefox upgrades | 14:44 |
| llutz | EmLoD: only personal-settings | 14:44 |
| scott__ | It's obviously a font issue.. | 14:44 |
| overmind | scott__: Download firefox from official web, use "chmod +x file" and click on it | 14:44 |
| bbq^ | overmind, he did, it didn't change anything for him :) | 14:45 |
| kbrosnan | Dale: 10.04 should follow the mozilla upgrades, ubuntu changed how they package firefox | 14:45 |
| scott__ | changing application fonts to size 8 fixes webpages | 14:45 |
| scott__ | but the font is far too small | 14:45 |
| scott__ | for everything else* | 14:45 |

| ubottu | jrendas: 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. :-) | 14:49 |
| scott__ | I'm going to need a crash course on how to install things in ubuntu without deb or the software centre... | 14:49 |
| scott__ | I know you have to run make etc | 14:50 |
| longkid | what software can play matroska file besides Movie player? | 14:50 |

| ubottu | scott__, please see my private message | 14:50 |
| scott__ | VLC? | 14:50 |
| llutz | !checkinstall > scott__ | 14:50 |
| Jadoza | dhanesh, Give me a effing URL | 14:50 |
| itguru | I want to give myself permission to edit just a small group of files witin the root file system without having to use sudo, because i connect to my ubuntu server using dolpin, and i don't have root login | 14:50 |
| itguru | how can i best do that? | 14:50 |
| banshee_ | scott__ sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc | 14:50 |
| dhanesh | Jadoza:can i give it tommorrow | 14:50 |
| Ree_ | hello everyone | 14:51 |
| itguru | i don't want to add my ssh user to the root group of change the ownership of the files, will i have to create a specific group just for that function? | 14:51 |
| Jadoza | dhanesh, Why not now? Don't you remember what you were trying to watch? | 14:51 |
| Ree_ | I've got a short question regarding ubuntu usage | 14:51 |
| scott__ | I gave up reading readmesa long time ago but i guess with linux they actually contain info apart from THANKS FOR DOWNLOADING?! | 14:51 |
| zamba | llutz: i see that all UUIDs in /boot/grub/menu.lst is wrong | 14:51 |
| dhanesh | geekphreak:how you played radio shure tell me | 14:51 |
| llutz | zamba: correct them | 14:51 |
| Dale | anyone got a theme suggestion for firefox / ubuntu? | 14:51 |
| Zesturian | scott__, ./configure && make && sudo make install tends to be the chain of events, but you shouldn't join them in that respect, run each one respectively, also ./configure --help is always a good thing to do prior to ./configure to ensure you have all your paths right etc. Additionally, always read their documentation, it will give you the heads up. | 14:51 |
| zamba | llutz: but now i can't chroot into the mount point.. complains about lacking zsh | 14:51 |
| Dale | something like http://livesino.net/images/IE9_200A/windows_internet_explorer_9_addressbar.png would be nice :) | 14:52 |
| llutz | zamba: chroot /mntpont /bin/bash | 14:52 |
| jrendas | I accidentally delete one file named "wedaolu" in my Seven partition. Now, grub doesn't let me boot Seven. I used ntfsundelete but it cannot recover the file. What should I do? Could anyone send me wedaolu? | 14:52 |
| zamba | llutz: ah, that worked: chroot /mnt/live /bin/bash | 14:52 |
| zamba | llutz: yeah :) | 14:52 |
| scott__ | Thanks. | 14:52 |
| Ree_ | how should firefox plugins be installed? via firefox interface or synaptic? | 14:52 |
| Ree_ | what is the recommended approachs? | 14:52 |
| banshee_ | firefox I believe | 14:52 |
| zamba | llutz: what command(s) fixes /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 14:52 |
| Zesturian | That's for C / C++ only generally, other languages require different build methods. README will usually tell you what to do. | 14:52 |
| dhanesh | geekphreak:how you played radio shure tell me | 14:52 |
| geekphreak | Ree_: i prefer from firefox :) | 14:52 |
| zamba | llutz: update-grub? | 14:52 |
| llutz | zamba: you have to do it manually | 14:52 |
| geekphreak | dhanesh: using amarok | 14:52 |
| scott__ | Fonts look weird in firefox for most webpages... I think something may be wrong somewhere. | 14:52 |
| zamba | llutz: you kidding me? | 14:52 |
| Jadoza | Ree_, Firefox, and sometimes there's required to copy .so files to certain locations | 14:52 |
| llutz | zamba: aeh, nope | 14:52 |
| Jadoza | In my expreience | 14:53 |
| irvken | I'm trying to use cron to do mysql backups, shouldn't the timing 5 * * * * run the command every 5 minutes? | 14:53 |
| scott__ | They look much more "bolded" if that is even a word and flat. | 14:53 |
| zamba | llutz: i'm in console, i can't fix 10+ x character long UUIDs | 14:53 |
| zamba | llutz: ah, shit | 14:53 |
| llutz | zamba: use gpm | 14:53 |
| Ree_ | ok thanks | 14:53 |
| zamba | llutz: what's gpm? | 14:53 |
| dhanesh | geekphreak:amarok can play internet radio | 14:53 |
| geekphreak | dhanesh: still radio :p | 14:53 |
| llutz | zamba: console mouse driver (more or less) | 14:53 |
| elky | zamba, watch your language please :) | 14:53 |
| llutz | zamba: makes copy/paste easier | 14:54 |
| diddy | What do I have to do to be able to watch all .wmv files on Ubuntu 64 bit? | 14:54 |

| hardwired | 'llo. How do get help with creating a new xorg.conf after I changed gfx card? I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from an ssh session, but that didn't seem to do anything | 14:54 |
| zamba | llutz: gpm doesn't work | 14:54 |
| llutz | zamba: or, ugly thing: blkid >>menu.lst and use ccopy-function of your editor | 14:54 |
| dhanesh | geekphreak:how can i record internet live audio streams | 14:54 |
| llutz | zamba: make sure to delete that stuff when finished from end of the file | 14:55 |
| diddy | erUSUL, I already installed the package restricted extras. Still doesn't work. | 14:55 |
| llutz | dhanesh: streamripper | 14:55 |
| hardwired | ahh, I just found a guide | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | !medibuntu | diddy | 14:55 |
| ubottu | diddy: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 14:55 |
| diddy | erUSUL, yes I know | 14:56 |
| a_h_roth | Curly_Q: I'm back. Are you still there? I installed xubuntu-desktop, and the problem has gotten worse. The console hangs on the Xubuntu splash screen. I can still ssh into the box, but it's very slow. Any other ideas? | 14:56 |
| scott__ | bbq - changing the application font to 8 fixes all my problems. Any idea how to apply it JUST to firefox if at all possible? | 14:56 |
| geekphreak | dhanesh: i cant help with that sorry, copyright issues , i wont help | 14:56 |
| Ree_ | one more thing: is there any difference between installing the restricted-extras package vs installing the individual packages? | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | diddy: that and gstreamer ffmpeg plugin is the closer you will get ( vlc also ) | 14:56 |
| EmLoD | i've got Grub error 15, but where is grub actually installed, have been trying different things in "sudo grub" > root (hd0,*) > setup (hd0), but it doesn't find grub on any of my partitions... | 14:56 |
| hardwired | ah now, that's no guide, just a 'it works' notice. | 14:56 |
| diddy | erUSUL, gstreamer is installed | 14:57 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: nvidia card? | 14:57 |
| zamba | llutz: fixed.. now what+ | 14:57 |
| zamba | llutz: update-grub? | 14:57 |

| hardwired | geekphreak: old one was nvidia, new one is integrated intel clarkdale | 14:58 |
| diddy | erUSUL, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version. | 14:58 |
| erUSUL | diddy: then you are out of luck | 14:59 |
| Jadoza | diddy, Move away from wmv and the like | 14:59 |
| zamba | llutz: and then reboot? | 14:59 |
| llutz | zamba: i would make rewrite grub to meb to be on the safe side | 14:59 |
| scott__ | How can I overwrite a font? | 14:59 |
| diddy | Damn, those videos worked perfectly on Ubuntu 32 bit. I had asked whether there are any things that don't worked on Ubuntu 64 bit. And people in this channel only says Flash in Firefox had problems. Damn! | 15:00 |
| zamba | llutz: how? | 15:00 |
| Zesturian | vita_sis, Yum is Redhat based distro's, apt / aptitude is for Debian based distro's | 15:00 |
| banshee_ | diddy if you're looking to watch .wmv on linux, http://fczaja.blogspot.com/2007/04/wmv.html | 15:00 |
| llutz | zamba: "grub" "root (hd0,1)" "setup (hd0)" | 15:00 |
| Jadoza | scott__, You can use "sudo cp" to copy the fontfiles in the terminal | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | vita_sis: yum ? why are you using yum ? | 15:00 |
| scott__ | where to Jad. ? | 15:00 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: yeah, it seems like it fails because it is still trying to load some nvidia stuff and can't find my old card anymore. | 15:00 |
| zamba | llutz: one error here | 15:00 |
| zamba | llutz: Error 22: No such partition | 15:00 |
| vita_sis | i use ubuntu on my laptop, but i have centos on my vps | 15:01 |

| Dr_Willis | scott__: ive never really ran into any limitions with 64bit | 15:02 |
| Zaiden | with flash* | 15:02 |
| scott__ | terminal* | 15:02 |
| Dr_Willis | scott__: cp 'foo bar' or excape the space | 15:02 |
| banshee_ | diddy did you try http://www.medibuntu.org/? | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | scott__: use " " around the name or escape the espace with \ | 15:02 |
| geekphreak | scott__: sorry did not get your question | 15:03 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: that'll be my last resort. I woud like to get an autogenerated xorg.conf and tweak it latert. starting from scratch seems a bit hard. | 15:03 |
| zamba | llutz: trying a reboot anyway | 15:03 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: i hear ya | 15:03 |
| scott__ | Thanks | 15:03 |

| diddy | I am just reading some forum post saying that 32 bit codecs can be installed on the 64 bit system sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 15:04 |
| diddy | But my installation can not find that package | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: medibuntu has a w64codecs package that does the same thing | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: its at medibuntu. not in the normal repos | 15:05 |
| diddy | Dr_Willis, yes but it doesn't work. See above | 15:05 |
| diddy | sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: w64codecs has worked for me for ages. | 15:05 |
| zamba | llutz: nah, now it hangs on grub loading stage1.5 | 15:05 |
| gregg | is there an easy way to make gnome stop cluttering my desktop with all mounted devices? I have a ton of mounted smb shares hehe | 15:05 |
| diddy | w64codecs is already the newest version. | 15:05 |
| zamba | llutz: lilo ftw | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: so clarify whats not working I guess | 15:05 |
| banshee_ | diddy http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/w32codec-all-2005-Download-10127.html | 15:06 |
| diddy | Dr_Willis, then you didn't use .wmv files | 15:06 |
| scott__ | Anyone else have any idea how I can fix my firefox problem? | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | diddy: then accept that you can not watch that video in a linux system. | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: a wmv can be any of a dozen codecs - i have played some wmv files under ubuntub befor. | 15:06 |

| llutz | zamba: start setup from grub-shell again (from grub-prompt "c") | 15:06 |
| diddy | VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: so - it all depends on the esact video file. | 15:06 |
| zamba | llutz: i don't get that far | 15:06 |
| diddy | No suitable decoder module: | 15:06 |
| diddy | VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 15:06 |
| gregg | diddy: is it maybe a drm protected file? | 15:06 |
| zamba | llutz: it freezes at "grub loading stage1.5" | 15:07 |
| llutz | zamba: you see grub-menu? | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | wmas codec. could be some very rare one, or used by some speciilized sites. | 15:07 |
| zamba | llutz: nope, freezes before that | 15:07 |
| gregg | that's the message i get if i try playing drm-protected stuff in vmc | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | diddy: this isent somthing from some porn site is it? | 15:07 |
| gregg | *l | 15:07 |
| llutz | zamba: oops, so live-cd again :( | 15:07 |
| bullgard | Chatzilla shows some nicks in Italic. I believe this is when the nick is logged in but has not been sending a message for a while. How long is this time before the nick becomes italic? | 15:07 |
| zamba | llutz: this is getting stupid :) | 15:07 |
| banshee_ | diddy this is my last suggestion, which has worked for me and others numerous times http://www.debianadmin.com/install-libdvdcss-and-w32-video-codecs-in-debian-and-ubuntu.html | 15:07 |
| diddy | I used to play all these .wmv videos under Ubuntu 32 bit | 15:07 |
| llutz | zamba: agree | 15:07 |
| zamba | llutz: just wipe everything and reinstall grub? | 15:08 |
| zamba | llutz: grub-install? | 15:08 |
| llutz | zamba: within chroot | 15:08 |
| zamba | llutz: grub-install /dev/sda inside chroot? | 15:08 |
| llutz | zamba: you may have to specify --root-directory too, not sure | 15:09 |

| geekphreak | zamba: 1 more thing man | 15:11 |
| dot__ | Dr_Willis: so what to do? | 15:12 |
| geekphreak | zamba: when you edited the fstab file yes, is there backup file fstab~ | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | dot__: check the hardware-driver tool, reinstall nvidia drivers,, reboot.. and seeif it works | 15:12 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis the best media player | 15:12 |
| zamba | geekphreak: nope | 15:12 |

| scott__ | Anyone have any ideas why input fields are way too long in firefox on ubuntu? | 15:13 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: want to try something? | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | dot__: you then ran 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and it only lets you pick a very low res eh? | 15:13 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: I have a basic xorg.conf now, but somehow, it still fails in trying to load some old nvidia stuff | 15:13 |
| llutz | zamba: hope it installs lilo and you have your beloved bootmanager back | 15:13 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: I am now looking for how to remove those nvidia remains | 15:13 |
| zamba | llutz: nah, just removes grub :) | 15:13 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: make a backup of xorg.conf first | 15:13 |
| zamba | i'll try installing grub2 now | 15:13 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis:which are the plugins that needed for playing internet video streams | 15:13 |
| dot__ | Dr_Willis: yea | 15:13 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: then edit the xorg.conf remove >> nvidia section | 15:13 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: so far, I deinstalled all envy stuff and made a new xorg.conf | 15:13 |
| user2 | ubunto sux | 15:14 |

| geekphreak | hardwired: ok | 15:14 |
| dot__ | Dr_Willis: I am now installing the graphics driver version 96 | 15:14 |

| dot__ | don't forget me ;) I'm coming back if theres problems | 15:14 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis:which are the plugins that needed for playing internet video streams | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | dhanesh: ive rarely needed any plugins for vlc. most all of them are built in. I tend to install vlc, the ubuntu-restricted-extras and the w32/64codec pack from medibuntu - and ive rarely found stuff i cant play | 15:14 |
| user2 | im there... | 15:14 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: awesome :) | 15:14 |
| zamba | llutz: no lilo here | 15:14 |
| user2 | win98 vs ubunto | 15:14 |
| amos81 | user2: then /part #ubuntu | 15:14 |
| llutz | zamba: then the cmd above should install it | 15:14 |
| scott__ | Dr.. what is that codec pack you speak of? | 15:14 |
| oliolioli | Hey, if I install the beta, when the final release is released and I update, will my system be any different to someone who installed from the final cd? | 15:15 |
| zamba | llutz: well, it didn't | 15:15 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: now in some config file somewhere, there is still a reference to nvidia | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | scott__: the w32codec pack | 15:15 |

| Dr_Willis | I only use 64bit machines.. and ive had no issues.. well thenetbook is 32bit i think. ) so i got 4 64bit boxs and 1 32bit box. | 15:15 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis: which is the browser plugin that can play internet live video streams. | 15:16 |
| scott__ | I ran the terminal command - where can I find the codec pack now? | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | dhanesh: it would totally depend on the stream i imagine. got a url you want me to test? | 15:16 |
| oliolioli | annnyyone? :( | 15:16 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: after a grep in /etc, this comers up: apparmor.d/abstractions/nvidia, kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common, kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common, ld.so.cache, modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf, vga/libvga.config | 15:16 |
| llutz | zamba: cat /boot/grub/device.map | 15:16 |
| zamba | llutz: bind mounted /dev into the chroot | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | scott__: you dont 'find' it - you install it and the players use it. | 15:16 |
| zamba | llutz: let's see if that helps | 15:16 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: no, nothing of nvidia in my xorg.conf anymore | 15:16 |
| arvind_khadri | Hi, does abiword convert the whole pdf to doc at once ? | 15:16 |

| hardwired | geekphreak: it's probaly soenthing with modules getting loaded or so | 15:17 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: how did you install nvidia driver from nvidia site or ubuntu repos? | 15:17 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis: from where i can get stream i imagine. | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | scott__: i mentioned the 'medibuntu' repository several times now.. its a repo you have to add. | 15:17 |
| llutz | zamba: should only contain "(hd0) /dev/sda" | 15:17 |
| ToStItOs | !MythTV | 15:17 |
| ubottu | mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv | 15:17 |
| scott__ | I've done that Dr. I'm searching for w32 in the software centre and it isn't showing anything. I can see under software sources it's listed. | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | dhanesh: differnt sites use differnt codecs/methods. i watch nasa tv - in ubuntu all the time. | 15:17 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: dunno anymore, that was some time ago. I guess I just did apt-get install envyng-gtk or suchlike. | 15:17 |

| vuksamotnjak | Hello i want to know why i cant load ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 & 1 from livee cd | 15:17 |

| zamba | llutz: will now try running update-grub | 15:18 |

| Dr_Willis | scott__: you HAVE TO enable the medibuntu reposuitory | 15:18 |
| hardwired | geekphreak: oh, I am pretty sure it was not from nvidia site. | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !medibuntu | scott__ | 15:18 |
| ubottu | scott__: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 15:18 |
| dhanesh | Dr_Willis:how do you see it | 15:18 |
| zamba | "Cannot find list of partitions!" | 15:18 |
| zamba | and then "done" | 15:18 |
| geekphreak | hardwired: if you installed from manf. site , it mostly comes with nvidia-uninstaller , see any command like that? | 15:18 |
| guntbert | scott__: not sure if software center will show it even with medibuntu enabled - try with synaptic | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | dhanesh: how? I go to the nasa tv web site.. click on view.. and it shows it... | 15:18 |
| scott__ | that still exists? | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | scott__: the medibuntu web site/docs mention how to install w32codecs | 15:19 |
| llutz | zamba: dpkg-reconfigure grub-common | 15:19 |

| dhanesh | Dr_Willis: thankyou for you help we can see tommorrow. | 15:19 |
| manas | how do i update software catalog | 15:19 |

| erUSUL | EmLoD: just salvage the usefull data (your home folder) form lost+found and reinstall | 15:43 |
| _LIN_ | EmLoD: lost+found is folder of lost files in EXT hierarhy | 15:43 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: what are you trying to accomplish? | 15:43 |
| EmLoD | _LIN_, it seams that most of my "/" is in one folder, "#34" | 15:43 |
| erUSUL | EmLoD: with usefull data i mean personal data you can no recostruct and is vital | 15:43 |
| asdhuhauda | Jadoza, I have it on CD but do not know how to install | 15:44 |
| BlaDe^ | bastid_raZor: even on the performance setting if my CPU is at 100% usage it's runing at 1.14GHz | 15:44 |
| _LIN_ | EmLoD: i have that problem a few days ago,and i was recovering them =( | 15:44 |
| BlaDe^ | I can't select the 1.90GHz option it drops straight to 800MHz | 15:44 |
| Jadoza | asdhuhauda, What do you want to do with the camera? Just transfer pictures to the computer? Or take pictures with the computer? Or what? | 15:44 |
| BlaDe^ | some days it's like 1.4 on performance, and usually when I first boot up it goes to 1.9 | 15:44 |

| asdhuhauda | Thanks both of you will see what I can do now | 15:49 |
| BlaDe^ | available frequency steps: 1.90 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz | 15:49 |
| BlaDe^ | 15:49 | |
| BlaDe^ | Looks okay | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | brez: vnc has numerous settings you can set. the color depth and so forth. | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | brez: but more colors = slower refreshes/lag/displey | 15:49 |
| BlaDe^ | bastid_raZor: it says that the performance policy can use between 800MHz and 1.14GHz, how do I adjust the policies? | 15:50 |
| brez | It's something within ubuntu / if I start the box with a monitor connected, then disconnect it, the graphics are much nicer - if I start the box with no monitor, they're like windows 95. | 15:50 |
| zaxonspox | C-Ray do you have OpenOffice? | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | brez: you are shareing the 'current' desktop you mean? or are you actually running the 'vncserver' binary? | 15:51 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: cpufreq-set and the syntax -f/--freq, -d/--min, -u/--max | 15:51 |

| mothdragon | so i'm running ubuntu 9.04 and i do not have access to the internet... I've accidentally uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and need to get it back... I still have the live-cd but can't figure out how to get the ubuntu-desktop from the cd to the computer.... does anyone know how to fix this? I can't find much that's helpful through google... | 15:56 |
| dante123 | okay im installing some additional packages | 15:56 |
| zaxonspox | C-Ray in what PDF reader you are opening? | 15:56 |
| scott__ | Thanks for the help everyone, take care. I must run. | 15:57 |
| C-Ray | Document Viewer 2.28.1 and Adobe Reader both the same issue | 15:57 |
| dot__ | Dr_Willis: remember me still? | 15:57 |
| Greek-Boy | at which runlevel is /etc/rc.local run at? | 15:57 |
| bastid_raZor | !aptoncd | mothdragon ..is the best i know of | 15:57 |
| ubottu | mothdragon ..is the best i know of: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 15:57 |
| ouned1 | hi! Im using a ATI Radeon HD 4890 with the opensource radeonhd driver and i have a really weird problem with it. After i login everying is fine for about 10 minutes (seems to be random) but then hard laggs start and for example its nearly impossible to scroll in firefox. When i logg off and login again, it works for around 10 minutes again. I used glxgears and when everything is right iu have around 8000 frames / 5 seconds and when the laggs st | 15:57 |
| bastid_raZor | mothdragon: or check the !offline factoid | 15:58 |
| dot__ | the nvidia says "Sorry the Jockey backend crashed. Please file a bug at: ubuntu-bug jockey-common - Trying to recover by restarting backend." | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | dot__: it crashed.. No idea what to do then. | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | dot__: other then try to instll the package by hand | 15:58 |
| dante123 | 15:59 | |
| dante123 | Dr_Willis how do I then restart cups | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dante123: sudo service cups restart I think | 15:59 |
| mrx__ | is there a way to hardlink a directory? Better yet: is there a way to create a mirror directory, whose contents get altered, when i change the original directory and vice versa? | 15:59 |
| guntbert | !runlevel | Greek-Boy | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Greek-Boy: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dante123: if you were in #ubuntu+1 for lucid help.. others may rember what accidently got removed last week | 15:59 |
| mothdragon | thanks ubottu and bastid_raZor I'll look into that now :) | 15:59 |
| dante123 | that's the ticket i think Dr_Willis...older instructions say sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart | 16:00 |
| dante123 | and they dont work | 16:00 |
| SuperMiguel | any one done this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM is it that fast?? | 16:00 |
| BlaDe^ | Looks okayn | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | dante123: service command is the proper way to do it. | 16:00 |
| zaxonspox | C-Ray looks like OpenOffice issue | 16:00 |
| BlaDe^ | bastid_raZor: when using: root@martin-laptop:/# cpufreq-set -f 1.9GHz ( I believe that's what the selector in the panel item does anyway), it goes straight to 800MHz | 16:00 |
| dante123 | Dr_Willis will I have to do that everytime or will it remember to do it on reboot?? | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperMiguel: my 10.04 install boots in like 20-30 sec.. I dont see much point in trying too hard to make it faster. | 16:01 |
| C-Ray | I am posting the same problem in there also but no use :( | 16:01 |
| Dr_Willis | dante123: no idea. It should start it automacally. try it and see | 16:01 |
| C-Ray | any tool for that? without open office? | 16:01 |
| === [ydnax] is now known as xandy | ||
| C-Ray | I mean for disabeling the copy feature | 16:01 |
| dos123 | ubuntu booting is slower than others | 16:01 |
| kernelcow | Is there a way to change the default location of wget? I downloaded something with wget and it's in my home folder and next time I download i want it to be in my downloads folder. Is it possible? | 16:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I need to time my 3 10.04 machines.. but they got it definatly under 50 sec even on my slow box's | 16:02 |
| C-Ray | I am using: Open Office version: 3.2 - [Latest Edition - Updated today!]. | 16:02 |
| Jadoza | Also, how often do you reboot? :) | 16:02 |
| mlesiaki | a | 16:02 |
| dos123 | eavey about 10 minutes | 16:02 |
| Dr_Willis | kernelcow: wget takes command line options i think for that.. or just cd to the location you want it to go befor you run the wget command | 16:02 |
| * Jadoza forgets that some people actually turn their computers off from time to time | 16:02 | |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: i think you're using the syntax wrong -f is to set which to use .. Ghz or Mhz the -d and -u will set min and max .. for example cpufreq-set -f Ghz -m 1.0 -u 1.9 | 16:03 |
| zaxonspox | C-Ray mayby try on Windows (sic!) i have also encountered issue with Draw, but only on Linux | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | kernelcow: dwonload from the folder you want the files saved. | 16:03 |
| SuperMiguel | Dr_Willis, i just that i have 16gb of ram and dont know what to do with it :( | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | !cli | kernelcow | 16:03 |
| ubottu | kernelcow: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 16:03 |

| kernelcow | Dr_Willis, thank you | 16:03 |
| kernelcow | erUSUL, thanks! | 16:03 |
| SuperMiguel | Dr_Willis, it was a server running esxi.. but dont need it anymore so ill use it as a main system | 16:03 |
| BlaDe^ | the -f FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any others, bastid_raZor | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperMiguel: make it run seti@home and folding@home and ...... :) | 16:04 |
| SuperMiguel | Dr_Willis, dont u need video card for that? i dont think any of those will use ram :S | 16:04 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: which governor are you using? that page indicates `userspace` needs to be used to set a constant frequency | 16:05 |
| junmin | hello, is there any ubuntu kernel config file repository? ( i am not in a ubuntu box, but i need to check some ubuntu's kernel configuration ) thanks | 16:05 |
| BlaDe^ | I used cpufreq-set -g userspace -- is that correct? | 16:06 |
| BlaDe^ | not sure how to check which one I'm running | 16:06 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: cpufreq-info tells which you're using. | 16:06 |
| BlaDe^ | where? | 16:07 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: current policy: | 16:07 |
| BlaDe^ | Just says: current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 1.14 GHz. The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use within this range. | 16:07 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: possibly you should be using sudo from your user instead of root shell.. that means userspace is your current governor | 16:08 |
| BlaDe^ | okay i'll switch | 16:08 |
| mck_ | hi guys can somebody help me ? i have problem with cairo-dock | 16:09 |
| BlaDe^ | martin@martin-laptop:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -g userspace => martin@martin-laptop:~$ sudo cpufreq-set -f 1.9GHz | 16:09 |
| BlaDe^ | still the same though | 16:09 |

| mdg | mck_, jump right in | 16:10 |
| irvan | hi all | 16:10 |

| mck_ | guys i have problems with cairo-dock opengl mode on 9.10 ubuntu (sry for my english) | 16:10 |
| BlaDe^ | nope bastid_raZor | 16:11 |
| bastid_raZor | BlaDe^: i don't know a solution. i just know (supposedly) how to set the frequency. not sure why it isn't working for you. | 16:12 |

| irvan | mdg u there | 16:16 |
| brainac0cult | do I need to install windows on ubuntu? | 16:16 |
| glock | however any subsequent pictures I take are uncorrupted on one, corrupted on the other | 16:16 |
| coz_ | brainac0cult, no of course not | 16:16 |
| mickster04 | nino: what are you doin? | 16:16 |
| irvan | why can't it work wit empathy | 16:16 |
| zaxonspox | C-Ray as i see on Win OOo it works | 16:16 |
| glock | if I unplug+replug the cams, they reset and it starts over | 16:16 |
| brainac0cult | coz_: of course not? | 16:16 |
| mickster04 | brainac0cult: do you understand what ubuntu is and what windows is? | 16:16 |
| brainac0cult | no. | 16:17 |
| mdg | irvan, you may need to tweak gstreamer-properties -- under the video section | 16:17 |
| glock | does gspca do anything different on the first picture that it doesn't do on the others? | 16:17 |
| C-Ray | so what should I do zaxonspox? | 16:17 |
| coz_ | brainac0cult, you dont need to install windows it wont install on ubuntu but you can install internet explorer onto linux using wine | 16:17 |
| irvan | mdg why pls | 16:17 |
| mickster04 | brainac0cult: both are Operating systems. they interface with hardware and the user (you) they do the same job to a degree | 16:17 |
| zaxonspox | brainac0cult why do you need IE in Ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| brainac0cult | because IE is better. | 16:17 |
| ottoclesis | !ethernet | 16:18 |

| brainac0cult | because I had windows? | 16:18 |

I have a package that supposedly 'provides' another package, but when I try to install something that depends on what it provides, it claims there's a conflict, wants to ununstall said package and install the package it supposedly 'provides'. what am I missing? | 16:19 |
| brainac0cult | in fact I might move back to windows because windows is free. | 16:19 |

| mck | i need help with cairo-dock OpenGL on Karmic somebody help ? | 17:29 |
| purvesh | geekphreak, but ... there is any other way ? except terminal ? | 17:29 |
| zaxonspox | nucc1 it mean that you dont have permisiion to add usb dev, you need to add your user into appropiate group | 17:29 |
| nucc1 | zaxonspox, ah, then i restart virtualbox.... ok thanks. | 17:29 |
| grobda24 | geekphreak, do you know where such a connection should turn up in the logs ? | 17:29 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: (Assuming you're encoding one video at a time) mkv and avi are containers, not codecs. afaik, mencoder does not parallelize unless you tell it to | 17:29 |
| zaxonspox | nucc1 add your user into disk group | 17:29 |
| KenBW22 | Monotoko: well no. I installed kubuntu-desktop through synaptic but want to go all-KDE | 17:29 |
| geekphreak | purvesh: you can use nautilus | 17:29 |
| geekphreak | grobda24: i am checking | 17:29 |
| nucc1 | zaxonspox, disk or virtualbox? | 17:30 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: Just looked it up, MPEG1/2+h264 can be parallelized (i.e. x4>x2) | 17:30 |
| Monotoko | KenBW22, try this: "apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop" | 17:30 |
| KenBW22 | Monotoko: that just removes the metapackage | 17:30 |
| zaxonspox | nucc1 you should be already in vboxusers | 17:30 |

| lebron | hello, I just installed adito (openvpn), On my server i run apache2, ssh , webmin. now i was thinking instead of forwarding in my router 4 ports would it be possible to close 2 (ssh / webmin) and run them trough adito, so i can connect to my adito and then at that point locally connect to eg webmin? or am i totally off grid? : thx in advance :) | 17:32 |
| purvesh | geekphreak, yup... | 17:32 |
| megan | how do I enable SU? | 17:32 |
| nucc1 | zaxonspox, done. restart virtualbox or my pc? | 17:33 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: Normal programs use just one core, so the speed/core is the bottleneck. The number of cores is only relevant if you are using all at once (i.e. parallel). You may want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelization | 17:33 |
| zaxonspox | nucc1 VB only | 17:33 |
| purvesh | geekphreak, so ... i have to go via... terminal and type nautilus or what ? | 17:33 |
| nucc1 | zaxonspox, cool. thanks :) | 17:33 |

| leftcase | Hi guys, I wonder if someone could answer me a backup question. I'm trying to build a USB stick with Karmic on to boot an o2 Joggler device. I've got it built, but I want to back it up (so I can easily restore it again after I've broken it!) but I find when running tar -cvpzf /home/chris/Desktop/UbuntuKarmicBase.tar.gz /media/bf9cdb65-977d-40a7-98aa-1888ff0ed1c6/ the backup fails right at end with tar: /media/bf9cdb65-977d-40a7-98 | 17:34 |
| ChogyDan | nyad: can you just mount the iso on /cdrom? | 17:34 |
| purvesh | geekphreak ya | 17:34 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: But the question which CPU is faster is really not ubuntu-specific. I suggest you don't ask Ubuntu experts, but hardware experts ( #hardware ?) | 17:34 |
| ubuntunewbie | icf7 : so 4 core with lower ghz win against 2 core high ghz.hm... how much does it win ? because I can't find any mencoder benchmark | 17:34 |
| leftcase | aa-1888ff0ed1c6/root: Cannot open: Permission denied | 17:34 |
| geekphreak | purvesh: in run type gksu nautilus | 17:34 |
| purvesh | geekphreak, what happen ? | 17:34 |

| purvesh | geekphreak, ok | 17:35 |
| mickster04 | !ot | ubuntunewbie | 17:35 |
| ubottu | ubuntunewbie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:35 |
| nyad | ChogyDan, hmm, well I can go to a terminal in the 'boot' and mount things so if I mount ubuntu.iso /cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop you say that should work? | 17:35 |
| mck | i have problems with cairo-dock OpenGL on Karmic | 17:35 |
| ChogyDan | nyad: I don't think I know | 17:36 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: Let me cut to the chase. With proper parallelization, the quad core will be faster (speed will be number of cores * speed/core). If you use plain mencoder to just encode one video at a time, the dual core will be faster. | 17:36 |
| nyad | ChogyDan, its a good idea tho, ill brb. gonna try it out. thanks for the idea ^^ | 17:36 |
| icf7 | ubuntunewbie: But please bare in mind I'm just a programmer, not a hardware expert | 17:37 |

| mickster04 | rabbit1: tht isn't really much info, the pendrive detection will have little to do with the processor | 17:38 |

| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 17:58 |
| mothdragon | thanks coz_ | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | dahud: those tools may not support ext4 yet.. or they might now.. hard to tell | 17:59 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Ok I opened location. | 17:59 |
| nonameNN | dahud: yes but if you have ext3 partition | 17:59 |
| shrey | MrGalactica , then how come u have extracted it on urdesktop :-o | 17:59 |
| MrGalactica | Nucc1: SHould I extract again? | 17:59 |
| goofrider | anyone can help me with samba-ldap config? | 17:59 |
| Jadoza | MrGalactica, You sohuld burn the iso to a disc, as an image | 17:59 |
| trism | calum_: if you want the ping source code, just do: apt-get source iputils-ping; it will download and extract it to the current directory | 17:59 |
| geekphreak | cya folks | 17:59 |
| calum_ | erSUL: Is there source code for the port scanner function in network tools? Or is that in the Linux kernel itself? | 17:59 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, you can see the file there, right? wanna go PM ? | 17:59 |
| dahud | Is ubottu a bot? | 17:59 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Wait! I think I have my winrar to open ISO files! | 18:00 |
| overmind | !bot > dahud | 18:00 |
| mothdragon | can anyone tell me how to find a particular file from command line, regardless of what directory it is in? | 18:00 |
| Jadoza | dahud, yes | 18:00 |
| ubottu | dahud, please see my private message | 18:00 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Haha! | 18:00 |
| shrey | dahud , yeah | 18:00 |
| calum_ | trism: Thanks... | 18:00 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, you don't need to open the file. i mean should we continue the conversation in a private window? | 18:00 |
| dahud | Well, someone needs to tell the bot that the advice it gave me for file system reading doesn't work on 7 | 18:00 |
| goofrider | i keep getting <additional info: olcObjectClasses: AttributeType not found: "displayName"> when importing the samba schema | 18:00 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, the constant scrolling here is confusing me, but its ok. | 18:01 |
| Jadoza | MrGalactica is trolling ... leave him be :) | 18:01 |
| calum_ | trism: When I do apt-get source iputils-ping, I get Reading package lists... Done | 18:01 |

| calum_ | Need to get 122kB of source archives. | 18:01 |
| ChogyDan | mothdragon: maybe find . | grep file_name | 18:01 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Do you have teamviewer? | 18:01 |
| nucc1 | nope. | 18:01 |
| nonameNN | dahud: http://www.diskinternals.com/download.shtml! | 18:01 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Darn. | 18:01 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, what is that? | 18:02 |
| ojii | is it normal that brasero is stuck on "creating checksum for images files" forever when trying to burn a data dvd? | 18:02 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, what is teamviewer? | 18:02 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: Let me try somthing real quick. | 18:02 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan thanks... but both of those don't seem to work... grep just seems to suspend me, and find doesn't seem to probe subdirectories | 18:02 |
| dahud | nonameNN: thanks | 18:02 |
| zaxonspox | ojii for how long? | 18:02 |
| skruigners | i tried cd namefolder but don't work | 18:02 |
| calum_ | trism: It tells me it cannot find the source | 18:02 |
| ottoclesis | why is rhythmbox fairly slow in ripping CDs | 18:02 |
| ChogyDan | mothdragon: grep suspends you? | 18:02 |
| BlubbTec | teamviewer doesnt work on ubuntu/linux OS, right? | 18:02 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: around 15 minutes now, and there's no indication of any progress | 18:02 |
| mickster04 | ottoclesis: may be your drive? | 18:03 |
| [[sroracle]] | Er yeah I can't access help.ubuntu.com, Chrome says the cert has been revoked | 18:03 |
| ottoclesis | can i make it quicker | 18:03 |

| skruigners | how to switch in a director with terminal in ubuntu? | 18:03 |
| mickster04 | ottoclesis: iunno | 18:03 |
| [[sroracle]] | I've tried without https but it won't resolve at all. | 18:03 |
| zaxonspox | ojii the indicator is wired, but are you burning whole DVD, how many MB? | 18:03 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: 1.2GB | 18:03 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan well when i type grep *.ko from the / directory then it just drops the cursor to the next line and doesn't seem to do anything else... | 18:03 |
| MrGalactica | nucc1: I finally got it. I had ISO images opened with winrar wich confused me. Thanks! | 18:03 |
| mickster04 | skruigners: try cd na(tab key) it will give you a list of items it may be if not autofilling out the name | 18:04 |
| rabbit1 | zaxonspox: what can i do now? | 18:04 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: will the dvd be lost if i hit 'cancel'? | 18:04 |
| calum_ | Never mind, it appears to have downloaded the source | 18:04 |
| zaxonspox | ojii one file? if so, you should wait, if many small files it is really wired | 18:04 |
| ChogyDan | mothdragon: that's why you need to do find. See, *s are interpreted by bash, not grep | 18:04 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: 550 files (images from a holiday trip) | 18:04 |
| nucc1 | MrGalactica, ok. you're on windows? is teamviewer some remote desktop viewer? | 18:05 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: nevermind it just switched to 'writing' | 18:05 |
| ChogyDan | mothdragon: find / | grep .ko | 18:05 |
| zaxonspox | ojii sory i dont remember, did braser first recorded files, then doing a ... | 18:05 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan i've tried the same thing with find... find *.ko and it reports instantly that there is no such file... when i try searching for something that i know is in a subdirectory (such as bin/sh) from the / directory, it still tells me no such file... | 18:06 |
| ottoclesis | it's superfast on win | 18:06 |
| ottoclesis | oh well | 18:06 |
| zaxonspox | ojii after writing brasero makes a check. Check you can Cancel if you wish | 18:06 |
| ottoclesis | it works | 18:06 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: not that much in a hurry, I just thought maybe it really froze | 18:07 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan .ko is the right extension for a module right? ie 8712.ko? | 18:07 |
| zaxonspox | ojii it might be slower then nero, but the progress indicator dont tell always truth, sometimes it jumps | 18:07 |
| ojii | zaxonspox: what's nero? | 18:08 |
| === RotesOHM_ is now known as RotesOHM | ||

| Erv | I am having a little problem getting my nvidia restricted drivers to work properly, any one have a sec to help me out real quick? | 18:11 |
| Zesturian | ChogyDan, why would you grep when find is sufficient at weeding out via extension? | 18:12 |
| Zesturian | find / -name \*.ko | 18:12 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan so literally type: find / | grep "\.ko$" | 18:12 |
| MFen | is there a relatively surefire way to find out whether a particular linux box has bluetooth hardware? (drivers not necessarily installed) | 18:12 |
| zaxonspox | Erv what problem do you encountered? | 18:12 |
| erUSUL | ChogyDan: mothdragon modules live in /lib/modules/ so « find /lib/modules/ -name '*8712*' » | 18:12 |
| mickster04 | MFen: how come you don't know? | 18:12 |
| MFen | i'm looking for a command line i can send out to my team, have them run, and report back to me the results | 18:13 |

| Erv | So this is a fresh install on 10.04 (beta i know) | 18:13 |
| jrib | !lucid | Erv | 18:13 |
| MFen | mickster04: well, i know mine *doesn't* (which makes this harder :) but i know that some of my team members do. i need to find out which do and which don't | 18:13 |
| ubottu | Erv: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 18:13 |

| Erv | cool thanks | 18:13 |
| MFen | why would they know? | 18:13 |
| Lunar_Lamp | MFen: lsusb and lspci should give you enough info. | 18:13 |
| mickster04 | ViridianFire: scp? | 18:13 |
| MFen | i don't even know how to find out myself | 18:13 |
| jrib | ViridianFire: win scp? | 18:13 |
| mickster04 | MFen: cos they use the computers? | 18:14 |
| ViridianFire | will that work on windows? | 18:14 |
| MFen | mickster04: you're not being helpful | 18:14 |
| jrib | ViridianFire: guess what the "win" in "win scp" is for![ | 18:14 |
| MFen | Lunar_Lamp: what specifically should i be grepping for | 18:14 |
| mickster04 | MFen: good point | 18:14 |
| Lunar_Lamp | MFen: I'm not sure, but hopefully the output should be clear enough. It shouldn't be so verbose that you can't get them to send it to you and read. | 18:14 |
| zaxonspox | ViridianFire can't you use Skype? | 18:15 |
| MFen | Lunar_Lamp: what about lshw? | 18:15 |
| ViridianFire | yeah but is that a specfic program? Cause I am not sure if I can get him to install stuff. If anything needs to be installed I would prefer it be installed on mine | 18:15 |
| ViridianFire | I guess | 18:15 |
| ViridianFire | but that would be slower | 18:15 |
| duke_ | i have no xserver running and cant connect to my wireless lan iwlist wlan scanning is not running | 18:15 |
| jrib | ViridianFire: not install, but you do need to download and run | 18:15 |
| Lunar_Lamp | MFen: lshw is far more verbose, so harder to skim if you're not sure what you're looking for. | 18:16 |
| duke_ | someone can help me? | 18:16 |
| MFen | Lunar_Lamp: fair enough. | 18:16 |
| jrib | ViridianFire: or use samba if you are on the same network | 18:16 |
| Lunar_Lamp | MFen: sorry I can't give you a great answer, but you should be able to deduce from lspci/lsusb | 18:16 |
| Zesturian | ViridianFire, don't forget the power of netcat, there's a windows port for it too. | 18:17 |
| ViridianFire | hmm Okay Ill look into it, he should have an FTP client or PuTTY installed, cause he did do some web design for one of his classes | 18:17 |
| ViridianFire | netcat? | 18:17 |
| mothdragon | ChogyDan: thanks for the help... unfortunately it seems that since i am running in "safe mode" the module i need, doesn't seem to be present... is there a way for me to download the ubuntu-desktop package onto a thumbdrive and then use that to install the desktop on the other computer? | 18:17 |
| ChogyDan | mothdragon: I don't know. Maybe you could just install the alternate cd to the usb | 18:18 |
| Zesturian | ViridianFire, man nc | 18:19 |
| budmaddock | mothdragon: You might try using dd if its an iso file. | 18:20 |

| XuMuK | !alien | 18:36 |
| ubottu | 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) | 18:36 |
| budmaddock | masteredu: Considered knoppix ? Installed to ram it is fast and removed when you shut off the machine. Try putting it on a pendrive after using parted to create two partitions and you have Linux plus storage. | 18:37 |

| XuMuK | !apt | 18:37 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 18:37 |

| Slart | kamil_sk: hmm.. you could try installing from an usb stick.. it will be some work to get it going though.. I would try burning another cd.. on slow speed.. checking the md5sums and all that before and after burning | 18:38 |
| kamil_sk | geekphreak: might be the problem that's it's on CDRW ? | 18:38 |
| crimsun | SirRedTooth: so, general issues with sound disappearing? | 18:39 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, .rpm is an extension...nvm....for an operating system that doesnt even have local.rc and no /etc/rc.d director | 18:39 |
| crashdata | what do u expect | 18:39 |
| Slart | !usb | kamil_sk | 18:39 |
| ubottu | kamil_sk: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | Yeah | 18:39 |
| crashdata | from users | 18:39 |
| DDAZZA | How do I install/write Ubuntu 9.10 over ubuntu 10.4 | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | Its like only one application can produce sound at the same time | 18:39 |
| crashdata | this is a strip down linux | 18:39 |
| geekphreak | kamil_sk: umm dont think so, | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | Now VLC media player works | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | but firefox doesn't produce sound | 18:39 |
| Slart | DDAZZA: delete partition, install new one | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | earlier it was the other way round | 18:39 |
| overmind | DDAZZA: When you are going to install, select 10.04's partition and continue process | 18:39 |
| crimsun | SirRedTooth: did you edit/create any special sound configuration files, like /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc (you *shouldn't*)? | 18:39 |
| kamil_sk | Slart: I don't know 4 real because when I boot into windows I can browse the CD just fine | 18:39 |
| xangua | DDAZZA: have you tries to just put the karmic live cd/dvd and select the option to install in all the disk¿ | 18:39 |
| SirRedTooth | Nope, i havn't changed anything as far as I know | 18:40 |
| crimsun | SirRedTooth: can you run http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, please? | 18:40 |
| Slart | kamil_sk: oh.. then it shouldn't be a problem with the cd.. I have no idea then.. | 18:40 |
| kamil_sk | Slart: It's an old celeron I have a CD for x86 architecture ,.. | 18:40 |
| XuMuK | crashdata, i know that, i use arch for a while, but we're on ubuntu channel... | 18:40 |
| user2 | damn ubunto | 18:40 |
| overmind | xangua: Maybe he has other OSs | 18:40 |
| DDAZZA | Slart, I can't delete the partitoin. | 18:40 |
| SirRedTooth | One second =D | 18:40 |
| user2 | how can i remove ubunto? | 18:40 |
| DDAZZA | Yes I've tryed installing but it wants to wipe the disk or install it side by side. | 18:40 |
| geekphreak | kamil_sk: tell me something, did you run a md5sum test before burning cd/ | 18:40 |
| e01 | crimsun, 10x | 18:40 |
| mickster04 | user2: format the partition | 18:40 |
| jooiiee | user2, format the drive/partition | 18:40 |
| user2 | damn u r so smart guys | 18:41 |
| taurus_ | Re | 18:41 |
| DDAZZA | How do you format the partition? | 18:41 |
| XuMuK | hahah | 18:41 |
| overmind | DDAZZA: Download LiveCD, select 10.04's partition and done | 18:41 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, so frustrating where normal linux stuff are gone from this OS | 18:41 |
| overmind | !gparted | DDAZZA | 18:41 |
| ubottu | DDAZZA: 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 | 18:41 |
| DDAZZA | overmind, gparted won't let me delete the ubuntu 10.4 partition. | 18:41 |
| Slart | DDAZZA: it does if you boot from a live cd | 18:42 |
| overmind | DDAZZA: It need be unmounted, do with LiveCD | 18:42 |
| XuMuK | crashdata, from which one? | 18:42 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, and i have to option but to install it for now...till I get an external hard drie... | 18:42 |
| SirRedTooth | I have saved it as a .sh file, but when I double click it wont run | 18:42 |
| DDAZZA | I am running it from a liveCD | 18:42 |
| SirRedTooth | it opens in gedit | 18:42 |
| nyhcjedi | thanks | 18:42 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, from ubuntu....its very restrictive | 18:42 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, i like how it handles packages but thats it | 18:42 |
| ottoclesis | !arora | 18:42 |
| DDAZZA | When I select "delete" from gparted on the liveCD it says: "Unable to delete /dev/sda5!" | 18:43 |
| zaxonspox | SirRedTooth in terminal type sh script.sh | 18:43 |
| kamil_sk | geekphreak: no :( but have it installed from it two time sucessfully | 18:43 |
| XuMuK | crashdata, if you so like to be under root set the root pass... sudo passwd root | 18:43 |
| geekphreak | SirRedTooth: what are you trying to do? | 18:43 |
| crimsun | SirRedTooth: you should save it, then run it from the command line | 18:43 |
| Slart | !supportroot | XuMuK | 18:43 |
| ubottu | XuMuK: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 18:43 |
| zaxonspox | SirRedTooth or bash script.sh | 18:43 |
| SuperMiguel | umm | 18:44 |
| XuMuK | Slart, and? | 18:44 |
| crashdata | XuMuK, it should be sudo su..but none the less..it should just be su.... some configuration files are missing.....from normal linux system | 18:44 |

| OmniT3ch | well, i cannot for the life of me figure out how to boot into Ubuntu | 19:01 |
| running_rabbit07 | folder name before or after chmod -R? inglor | 19:01 |
| blacksunseven | after running_rabbit07 | 19:01 |
| inglor | OmniT3ch, which did you install first | 19:01 |
| BlubbTec | OmniT3ch: installed ubuntu as 2nd? | 19:01 |
| inglor | !chmod | 19:01 |

| running_rabbit07 | thanx | 19:01 |
| inglor | :) | 19:01 |
| OmniT3ch | Windows, windows is on the master and has always been, Ubuntu is on the second HD | 19:01 |
| JimD-- | hey | 19:01 |
| OmniT3ch | both are the only OSes on each HD | 19:02 |
| ottoclesis | dumb q : automatic partitioning in dual boot splits the remaining drive space in half? | 19:02 |
| inglor | so you installed ubuntu second but still ubuntu doesn't show up at startup? you can get a liveCD and install grub or if you have a program like partition magic that can work | 19:02 |
| inglor | actually disregard that, I'm pretty sure you can install grub from within windows | 19:03 |
| OmniT3ch | i have the liveCD, and in fact im in it right now (on my laptop for irc) | 19:03 |
| andrew__ | So I just used ImageWriter to put the Ubuntu netbook remix iso onto my USB drive.. | 19:03 |
| inglor | OmniT3ch, here is a guide, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 19:03 |
| geekphreak | sudi: are you trhere? | 19:03 |
| andrew__ | But when I try to boot from it, it says "Operating System not found", any ideas? | 19:03 |
| geekphreak | sudi: ftp directory is in /srv/ftp | 19:03 |
| JamesAdams | you can change the boot order in bios just to see if the ubuntu install works, or you can use f12 at bootup to choose boot device for most pc's | 19:04 |
| OmniT3ch | well, i put the grub loader on the Ubuntu HD | 19:04 |
| sudi | just want to know that where is default directory for ftp when u install vsftpd | 19:04 |
| geekphreak | sudi: i just told you man | 19:04 |
| BlubbTec | OmniT3ch: | 19:04 |
| andrew__ | JamesAdams: Sorry, was that to me? | 19:04 |
| JamesAdams | omni | 19:04 |
| geekphreak | sudi default path is /srv/ftp | 19:04 |
| inglor | andrew, I'd try with unetbootwin | 19:04 |
| BlubbTec | OmniT3ch: sorry, you have to override windows bootloader, making it the first hd | 19:04 |
| andrew__ | inglor: unetbootwin.. Okies! | 19:04 |
| BlubbTec | OmniT3ch: and you have to remove grub again from the 2nd, atleast thats what i did | 19:04 |
| OmniT3ch | and there was a process i found that said to copy the boot sector of Ubuntu to bootsect.lnx, then add that to boot.ini | 19:04 |
| OmniT3ch | which didn't work | 19:05 |
| OmniT3ch | well it did | 19:05 |
| OmniT3ch | but | 19:05 |

| inglor | OmniT3ch, just follow the guide I gave you and you'll be ok | 19:05 |
| OmniT3ch | i get the Grub Loading Error: No such Disk | 19:05 |
| OmniT3ch | ok | 19:06 |
| OmniT3ch | i will take a look at the guide inglor | 19:06 |

| JimD-- | last fall, none of the Karmic betas would boot on my HP mini netbook, but the release version booted fine.. now I seem to be seeing the same thing with the Lucid beta2 | 19:06 |
| geekphreak | sudi found it? | 19:06 |
| inglor | OmniT3ch, windows has a nasty habbit of destroying ubuntu (well, linux in general) partitions randomally if you play with its disk settings, it's importent that if you want to communicate between the two you do it through a third NTFS drive (or fat32) | 19:06 |
| inglor | Jim-- Lucid support is in the +1 channel | 19:07 |
| OmniT3ch | right, well as long as i don't have to remove windows | 19:07 |
| JimD-- | oops, sorry | 19:07 |

| sudi | am looking at it | 19:07 |
| inglor | Very_Cool, you can get information about every command by typing in the terminal "man <command name>" | 19:07 |
| geekphreak | inglor you can, i did not know that ty :) | 19:08 |
| OmniT3ch | ok problem | 19:08 |
| inglor | geekphreak, another good trick is commandname /? or commandname --help ... most ubuntu commands are well documented | 19:08 |
| kazagistar | Very_Cool: mvdir? | 19:08 |
| Very_Cool | inglor, that only helps if I know what command to use...I alrady lookeda ththe mv command | 19:08 |
| OmniT3ch | sudo: grub: command not found | 19:08 |
| daniel__ | ---------> Maybe someone can help me here for a second. Im in the terminal trying to install GTK2, and I ran the './configure' *worked fine* then it says type 'make' and then 'make install'. But when I type 'make' in the terminal it just says "***Not targets specified and no makefile found. stop.' | 19:08 |
| geekphreak | inglor thanks :p | 19:09 |
| tritium | daniel__: install the package, rather than compiling it yourself. | 19:09 |
| inglor | daniel__ have you compiled anything before? | 19:09 |
| inglor | !make | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 19:09 |
| daniel__ | lol no, i thought this is how i had to do it | 19:09 |
| crashdata | daniel__, try this sudo ./configure && make && make install | 19:09 |
| tritium | daniel__: which do you need? libgtk2.0-dev? | 19:09 |
| Very_Cool | kazagistar, ubuntu tells me ther eis no command mvdir. and it trys to suggest alternate spelling from downloadable packages | 19:09 |
| tritium | !info libgtk2.0-dev | daniel__ | 19:10 |
| ubottu | daniel__: libgtk2.0-dev (source: gtk+2.0): Development files for the GTK+ library. In component main, is optional. Version 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 (karmic), package size 2986 kB, installed size 9932 kB | 19:10 |
| tritium | Don't reinvent the wheel when you don't have to. ;) | 19:10 |
| inglor | daniel__ I salso stronly suggest getting a package rater than making it unless you know what you're doing, the package system is very nifty and takes care of a lot of stuff for you in the background | 19:10 |
| geekphreak | inglor thanks :) | 19:11 |
| kazagistar | Very_Cool: heh, my bad... stange though, because using "mv testdir1 testdir2" works fine for me | 19:11 |
| crashdata | daniel__, but if u wanna learn try sudo ./configure && make && make install (if no error during ./configure then u dont have to worry about dependencies) | 19:11 |
| daniel__ | how do i whisper in this chat | 19:12 |
| geekphreak | whats whisper? | 19:12 |
| Very_Cool | kazagistar, do you have files and sub directories in them? | 19:12 |
| crashdata | daniel__, try /msg user | 19:12 |
| SimSimma | Hey what the heck is up with "cd" and paths stored in variables. It doesnt work! | 19:12 |
| SimSimma | or maybe im doing something wrong | 19:12 |
| geekphreak | SimSimma: what are you trying to do? | 19:12 |
| daniel__ | So where can I download GTK 2+ in an executable package, so I don't have to compile this thing myself | 19:13 |
| tritium | daniel__: did you see the info I gave you above? | 19:13 |
| SimSimma | greekphreak, Im trying to cd into a path stored in a variable that has a space so I escape it but it wont recognized the backslash | 19:13 |

| inglor | sudo apt-get install gtk2 :P? | 19:14 |
| crashdata | SimSimma, cd space\ between/ here | 19:14 |
| tritium | daniel__: you need the development libraries and header files? If so, "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev", or install it from the Synaptic package manager, if you prefer a gui. | 19:14 |
| geekphreak | SimSimma: can you pastebin it? | 19:14 |

| inglor | SimSamma, it's syntax, try double backslashes | 19:19 |
| sudi | doing that from the terminal | 19:19 |
| kazagistar | Very_Cool: so try something like "mv * .." (move everything from this directory to the directory above it) | 19:19 |
| inglor | hf4, if you're on the liveCD I suggest you just rebot :P | 19:19 |
| crashdata | SimSimma, hmm then i have no other solution.....if its not going to be to much trouble y dont u just rename the file? | 19:20 |
| everythingdaniel | I am trying to pull apart and figure out this visudo thing to get commands to auto run when the server starts up. In the final situation no one will be touching the server. So. in visudo I think I know how that works, but it is per user or group. If no one has logged into the server, under what user or group is the auto run executed as? | 19:20 |
| sudi | and by default it will create user list | 19:20 |
| kazagistar | Very_Cool: after that, you can delete the extra directory | 19:20 |
| hf4 | inglor: no I boot to live cd to be able to chat with you :) | 19:20 |
| sudi | for tht folder | 19:20 |

| geekphreak | sudi: when you create the list, make sure path/file_name is mnetion in userlist_file | 19:40 |
| sudi | and onces done where do u put that file | 19:40 |
| Roasted | inglor, what do you suggest? All I can find are old posts from like 2006 which is clearly not grub2. | 19:40 |
| sudi | ok | 19:41 |
| geekphreak | Roasted: yes | 19:41 |
| crashdata | andrew__, try using pendrivelinux.com thats what i used and never had any problem | 19:41 |
| andrew__ | crashdata: ta | 19:41 |
| inglor | Roasted, http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala for example | 19:41 |
| trism | Roasted: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD | 19:41 |
| geekphreak | Roasted https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 19:41 |
| geekphreak | or those ^^ | 19:41 |
| Roasted | inglor, yeah I didnt do all of that. | 19:41 |
| Roasted | inglor, I literally did like two commands. and nothing was a mount command. | 19:41 |
| sudi | greekphreak hwere do you store that file | 19:42 |
| myrl | ok now i have a more serious problem i can't mount my windows partition :( i get exit code 2 | 19:42 |
| sudi | is it in etc | 19:42 |
| geekphreak | sudi: pick and choose our place | 19:42 |
| m00se | which reminds me - why aren't the ubuntu help urls ever dated? was that a conscious decision? | 19:42 |
| sudi | oh ok | 19:42 |
| geekphreak | sudi thats ok, you can create it there | 19:42 |
| Roasted | yeah all 3 of those isnt what I did, and has significantly more steps. gah I wish I found the guide i used. | 19:42 |
| myrl | please help | 19:42 |
| myrl | i can't mount my windows partition :( i get exit code 2 | 19:42 |
| geekphreak | myrl ntfs? | 19:42 |
| crashdata | andrew__, np | 19:43 |
| myrl | yes | 19:43 |
| geekphreak | myrl can you type this command for me ? | 19:43 |
| myrl | geekphreak yes | 19:43 |
| inglor | Roasted, lol, that guide is pretty complicated :P | 19:43 |
| geekphreak | myrl sudo fdisk -l | 19:43 |
| myrl | ok | 19:43 |
| inglor | Roasted, grub-install ? | 19:43 |
| Roasted | inglor, yeah maybe it was grub install. | 19:43 |
| Roasted | inglor, I just know I did like 2-3 commands and it was fixed. I didnt do mount this, mount thatt, etc. | 19:43 |
| myrl | geekphreak it shows my partition | 19:43 |
| geekphreak | myrl: it says ntfs or unknown? | 19:44 |
| geekphreak | or ntfs-3g | 19:44 |
| myrl | geekphreak it says ntfs | 19:44 |
| inglor | Roasted, that depends on if you need to set it up yourself or trust grub, the ubuntu wiki on grub (if I recall correctly) has instructions on how to install it | 19:44 |
| inglor | !grub2 | 19:44 |
| 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 | 19:44 |
| geekphreak | myrl: now type sudo mount | 19:44 |
| myrl | geekphreak ok | 19:44 |
| trism | Roasted: the ubuntu wiki has the two grub-install commands you probably used, and those will be enough if your grub.cfg is correct, but otherwise you will need the chroot to update it, or have to manually edit it | 19:45 |
| geekphreak | myrl: does it show its mounted anywhere? | 19:45 |
| crashdata | myrl, mount.ntfs-3g /dev/urdevice /mnt/folder | 19:45 |
| myrl | geekphreak it doesn't show the windows partition | 19:45 |
| myrl | geekphreak ok | 19:45 |

| jake_ | mickster04: that's what i'm doing right now but just happened to come across a blog which said simply copying and pasting doesn't work. i just wanted to make sure that when i format the other partition and reinstall windows and transfer the data from ubuntu to windows, it still works. i am a bit paranoid because i have REALLY important data that i cannot afford to lose | 19:52 |
| iceroot | hf4: 2.6.31-20 | 19:52 |

| jake_ | mickster04: there isn't anything wrong with it as now! | 19:56 |
| Losha | jake_: there's a big difference between just backing up some files, and backing up an entire system so you can restore it exactly. Which are you trying to do? | 19:57 |

| Shay27 | Hello , I have installed some web application on my apache server that required a domain name in order to run , does it possible to replace the address "http://localhost" with other address such "http://www.mydomain.com" (but i dont want it to go actually to this domain just think its there and read the data from my apache server) ? | 19:57 |
| mickster04 | jake_: in which case it wont die? | 19:57 |
| sudi | actually it is the polycom phone 500 model ... and we are using it for connecting to the server, it does not have bluetooth | 19:57 |
| mickster04 | Losha: was just about to say that:D | 19:57 |
| Typh | is there any way to change the volume label WITHOUT ubuntu messing with the mbr? | 19:57 |
| xangua | xp: no if you don't give details | 19:57 |
| Losha | mickster04: :-) | 19:57 |
| jake_ | Losha: i dont want to make a backup of the whole system. my windows has a lot of viruses in it which are messing the registry to i believe taking a backup of the entire thing, maybe like an image, would keep the viruses intact too | 19:58 |
| geekphreak | Sha27 kinda of like redirect? | 19:58 |
| jake_ | mickster04: i don't get why it should JUST die. | 19:58 |
| geekphreak | sudi i used nokia phone :) | 19:58 |
| Losha | jake_: I agree. So exactly which files do you want to save? | 19:58 |
| mickster04 | jake_: it wouldn't, but if your hdd is old it might, just becaues your installing something doesnt mean it wont duie? there is no control over when i hd dies? | 19:59 |
| geekphreak | anyways i am out of here, have fun folks | 19:59 |
| jake_ | Losha: just some office work, photographs and stuff like that. | 19:59 |
| jake_ | mickster04: then what do you suggest i do? | 20:00 |
| mickster04 | jake_: copy pasting will work fine for that | 20:00 |
| mckaycr | anyone running a rocketfish bt keyboard and mouse...my shift and ctrl isn't working and i cant find a fix | 20:00 |
| mickster04 | jake_: copy pasting and entire system will not work but you're not | 20:00 |
| jake_ | mickster04: anyway i have an external hdd too, so i'm thikning of backing it up on that as well | 20:00 |
| jake_ | mickster04: if i have viruses on it, i dont think i should do that or should i? | 20:00 |
| Losha | jake_: ok, that shouldn't be too difficult. Do you know how much space we're talking about for the saved files? | 20:01 |
| jake_ | Losha: atleast 15-20GB | 20:01 |
| jake_ | Losha: make that 10-12 | 20:01 |
| xangua | jake_: i still don't get why do you came here for #windows support - (13:50:20) jake_: how do i backup my data from windows into my ubuntu partion? | 20:02 |
| Shay27 | does someone know where can i set the ServerName parameter of apache server ? | 20:02 |
| Losha | jake_: and where do you plan to put store this 12G of essential data? | 20:02 |
| david-w | what does j mean | 20:02 |
| jake_ | xangua: because i am backing up my data on UBUNTU | 20:02 |
| mickster04 | xangua: using ubuntu thats why | 20:03 |
| jake_ | Losha: my ubuntu partition has 30GB of free space and plus i have an external hdd too, which is almost full so instead i thought i'd just put the data on the ubuntu side | 20:03 |
| xangua | jake_ mickster04 then if he is also using windows via vbox in ubuntu we should give support¿ :S | 20:03 |
| domo | how do I turn off ssh using a key pair to autenticate? | 20:03 |
| jake_ | xangua: you don't need to, Losha and mickster04 are helpful enough | 20:04 |
| mickster04 | jake_: im off now, Losha can help u from here:D | 20:05 |
| Losha | jake_: or consider burning the data to 3 dvds if you have the right hardware.... | 20:05 |

| ZykoticK9 | purpzey, be careful changing your hostname. If hostname doesn't match what is in /etc/hosts the "sudo" command can stop working. I don't know of any GUI methods to make the change. Best of luck. | 20:08 |

| CaponeBH | yeah, karmic aka | 20:21 |

| BlubbTec | something with skype gets even more hits | 20:22 |
| BlubbTec | you'll find a lot of *possible* solutions there | 20:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | dsnyders, i don't understand your question -- isolinux is for LiveCDs, it isn't a Boot Loader | 20:23 |
| CaponeBH | Blubbtec, i tryed it, but most of them say to remove pulseaudio, and install esound, and i did it, but get worse, no sound at all/ | 20:23 |
| Slix` | AHH! | 20:23 |
| diabel_ | hay | 20:24 |
| diabel_ | hey | 20:24 |
| janisozaur | is it possible to have a different wallpaper on each virtual desktop? | 20:24 |
| CaponeBH | by what i read i understood that the problem is this pulseaudio that ubuntu chose as a audio option and that is not working really well yet | 20:24 |
| CaponeBH | everyone is complaining about it, but i couldnt find any good solution for it | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | CaponeBH, in some cases pulseaudio is ok, in others not | 20:26 |

| CaponeBH | BluesKaj, yeah, sorry, my mistake | 20:27 |
| xangua | riena: no, it's not :S | 20:28 |
| dsnyders | ZykoticK9, Thanks. I'm sick and tired of burning disks for every single install. Sadly the machine I'm installing to can't do USB booting | 20:28 |
| janisozaur | ZykoticK9: and any possiblity to also have icons available? maybe there is some upcoming version that supports this behaviour? | 20:28 |
| riena | what is not ok xangua ? | 20:28 |
| BlubbTec | CaponeBH: you might just want to wait until the end of the month for lucid, i heard lot of pulseaudio/sound problems are solved there | 20:28 |
| CaponeBH | i read a guy saying that he could fix it using some hide options of the alsamixer but he didnt explain how he did it, just said that he have to do that everytime that he turns on his computer | 20:28 |
| xangua | riena: what you asked ...... | 20:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | dsnyders, that's a drag about no USB boot - as that would have been my suggestion... good luck | 20:28 |
| BlubbTec | atleast thats what i'm gonna try | 20:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | janisozaur, not that i'm aware of -- it's icons on desktop OR multiple wallpaper, not both | 20:29 |
| === thefallen_ is now known as Guest71052 | ||
| CaponeBH | BlubbTec, thats nice to hear man, cause i really cant understand why ubuntu would choose pulseaudio if is not working really well yet...i mean, they should test this kind of stuff before launching the version | 20:29 |
| CaponeBH | but im glad with the news, but the problem is that i am a musician, and im in a big need of record a song to send to my band | 20:30 |
| riena | xangua : i'm install ubuntu without swap...it is ok ? | 20:30 |
| Losha | riena: it depends on how much ram you have and how many programs you are running. Some people report that once they get over 4GB of ram, they never swap when doing ordinary desktop things. You can monitor this with 'conky'... | 20:30 |
| CaponeBH | and as a linux lover, i dont want to use windows to do it | 20:30 |
| BlubbTec | CaponeBH: try a lucid live cd, and see if your problems are gone | 20:30 |
| BluesKaj | CaponeBH, click on the speaker icon, then the mixer tab and make sure your input source is mic , then check the mic capture ctrls and crank them both if you have a mic boost as well. | 20:31 |
| xangua | CaponeBH: pulseaudio works fine to me, not problems at all | 20:31 |
| h4f | I am trying to chroot to my installed system | 20:31 |
| h4f | sudo chroot /mnt/root/ /bin/bash | 20:31 |
| h4f | chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 20:31 |
| h4f | nor chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash works | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | xangua, then you probly have a fancy soundcard , but saying it works without sharing your info doesn't help anyone | 20:32 |
| TannerS | hey guys I need some real help I have been trying for days to fix this with no success, I have ubuntu 9.10 and also compiz set up, now I have two screens, but I can only do something in each screen like its its own screen, i cant click and drag a windows or program folder icon anything from one screen to the next anyone know why? | 20:32 |
| CaponeBH | BluesKaj, im as a root and i cant see the speaker icon, i will enter with a normal user and come back here ok? | 20:32 |
| Losha | CaponeBH: almost all the linux distros are notorious for having sound problems, a combination of driver/hardware issues and software. I have had my own mic problems with skype on 8.04... | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | CaponeBH, ok | 20:33 |
| CaponeBH | Blubbtec, u mean the beta version of ubuntu? | 20:33 |
| CaponeBH | install another ubuntu? | 20:33 |
| Improviz | Choppy YouTube playback, any ideas? | 20:33 |
| BlubbTec | CaponeBH: i mean you use the live cd of lucid aka 10.04 and check wether your sound works there | 20:34 |
| BluesKaj | CaponeBH, just come back as anormal user , we'll go from there | 20:34 |
| CaponeBH | BluesKaj, Ok, thanks u all! | 20:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Improviz, faster internet connection + use nvidia... sorry don't have a real answer | 20:34 |
| TannerS | so anyone | 20:34 |
| Zesturian | Improviz, pause it, leave it to buffer prior to playing it. | 20:35 |
| riena | how to install chrome in ubuntu | 20:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | TannerS, sounds like you're using Separate X Windows -- if you're using nvidia use twinview to drag windows between the screens | 20:35 |
| dsnyders | ZykoticK9, Possible good news: There is a version of isolinux called extlinux which works on ext filesystems. http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/EXTLINUX | 20:35 |
| Zesturian | Or you mean choppy as in frame rate? | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | !chrome | riena | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | !chromium | riena | 20:37 |
| ubottu | riena: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 20:37 |
| TannerS | Zykotick9 i tryed twin view......it jsut was a clone of what ever was on my primary moniter, i dont want that =[ lol | 20:37 |
| Improviz | My wireless connection is 108mbps, and I'm on Comcast Xfinity, so speed ain't the issue | 20:37 |
| ar0nic | nice Improviz | 20:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | TannerF, Twinview != Clone | 20:37 |
| ar0nic | i wish they had that here | 20:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | TannerS, see above | 20:37 |
| HeavyJ409 | sup | 20:38 |
| Improviz | Trying to get this old Dell in shape to send to disabled friend | 20:38 |
| conrivan44 | hello room!!! | 20:38 |
| TannerS | Zykotick9 but i dont want a clone, I want to extended my desktop, and be able to drag windows form one to the other | 20:39 |
| Improviz | Using Ubuntu to keep his daughter from loading it with viruses & trojans | 20:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | TannerS, and that feature is called TwinView with Nvidia cards | 20:39 |
| conrivan44 | ???? | 20:39 |
| Improviz | Choppy vid playback is not a deal breaker but I'd like it to do everything acceptably | 20:39 |
| jakobbg | Does Empathy support grouping of contacts with multiple accounts? | 20:39 |
| Zesturian | Improviz, free or proprietary ATI drivers? | 20:40 |
| BluesKaj | Improviz, as long as he doesn't run windows on another partition then he should be real safe | 20:40 |
| Improviz | Zesturian - free drivers | 20:40 |
| Improviz | BluesKaj - nope, I wiped the drives when I installed Karmic | 20:40 |
| TannerS | Zykotick9 im sorry im new at this explain? | 20:40 |
| Zesturian | Improviz, give fglrx a whirl, see if that improves matters. | 20:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | TannerS, i'm sorry i can't help you. BUT TwinView will allow 2 monitors to act as 1 big monitor, that you can drag windows between both monitors | 20:41 |
| Improviz | Zesturian - thanks, I'd read about it but there seemed to be some opinions that the "closed" drivers were unreliable | 20:41 |
| TannerS | Zykotick9 ok thank you anyways i will try to mess around with settings than | 20:42 |
| Zesturian | Improviz, I can't comment on that, I moved from ATI years ago. | 20:42 |
| Zesturian | Though ATI drivers are improving a lot from what I understand. | 20:42 |
| Improviz | Yeah, it's an OLD machine. AGP 9550 card | 20:42 |
| Improviz | But it has SVideo out so he can use it on his 32" TV | 20:43 |
| annika | hey guys just wondering, how do i shut of the startup sound? | 20:43 |
| Improviz | I'm going to try the ATI drivers and see what happens, thanks | 20:43 |
| CaponeBH | BluesKaj, sorry for taking so long, i was using chatzilla but when i entered as a normal user was not here, so i installed pidgin | 20:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | annika, you can try System / Preferences / Startup Applications - and uncheck "GNOME Login Sound" | 20:44 |
| CaponeBH | However, now i can see the icon | 20:44 |
| skruigners | how to switcvh in a folder on terminal? | 20:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | skruigners, cd is the command to change directory if that's what you mean. | 20:45 |
| xangua | CaponeBH: what icon¿ | 20:49 |
| CaponeBH | xangua, sound icon | 20:49 |

| newnick | i am not sure what the proper md5's are | 20:50 |
| CaponeBH | xangua, i got a problem with my microphone, i read about and most of people that are using the new ubuntu are saying that is a problem with the pulseaudio | 20:50 |

| HeavyJ409 | Before Ubuntu I had Windows Vista and I was able to put videos and music on my Sandisk Cruzer (flash drive) and plug it in my PS3 and be able to watch them, but now that I have Ubuntu when I put videos on my flash drive and try to watch them on my PS3 it say's there are no videos on the flash drive, I've always used videos in .avi format so I know the PS3 should be playing them, and I'm using FAT32, so I know the flash is formatted right | 20:52 |
| HeavyJ409 | Before Ubuntu I had Windows Vista and I was able to put videos and music on my Sandisk Cruzer (flash drive) and plug it in my PS3 and be able to watch them, but now that I have Ubuntu when I put videos on my flash drive and try to watch them on my PS3 it say's there are no videos on the flash drive, I've always used videos in .avi format so I know the PS3 should be playing them, and I'm using FAT32, so I know the flash is formatted righ | 20:53 |
| yoyoned | HeavyJ409: DId you do anything to the drive, like format it? | 20:53 |
| CaponeBH | HeavyJ409, did u tryed to listen to some music and did u get the same result? | 20:53 |
| jhamlin_ | in kde 3.5 is there a way to make a keybinding for an arbitrary command? From control center it seems I can only bind to apps that are in the menu... | 20:54 |
| Cyber_Akuma | HeavyJ409: they need to go in a folder called VIDEO, and be a container that the PS3 supports | 20:54 |
| HeavyJ409 | I formated the drive to FAT32 | 20:54 |
| yoyoned | HeavyJ409: is it the same vidoes | 20:54 |
| HeavyJ409 | and it does the same with music | 20:54 |
| elknof1 | hi everyone, does anyone knows how to finish this line? mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda7 -I128 ... dont know the structure of the line.... | 20:54 |
| yoyoned | elknof1: what are you trying to do | 20:55 |
| HeavyJ409 | its not he same vidoes that i used before, but they're in the same format | 20:55 |
| CaponeBH | HeavyJ409, so the problem is on your pendrive, u formated it on the windows or ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| Cyber_Akuma | You can also select the usb drive under video in the XMB, press triangle, and choose "Display All" | 20:55 |
| HeavyJ409 | ubuntu | 20:55 |
| Leftblank | I'm trying to dist-upgrade, however now I have to specify 'GRUB install devices'; does this mean GRUB will install there or will it probe those partitions? | 20:55 |
| yoyoned | HeavyJ409: just because the file extension is avi, doesn't mean it's the same format | 20:55 |
| elknof1 | mount my /home in win with IFS but IFS doesnt recognize it since it has an inode different from 128 (actual 256) | 20:56 |
| HeavyJ409 | well i do press triantle and it shows my folders on the flash drive, but when i open the folders it says there's nothing in them | 20:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | If its AVI though, it should show up in the ps3 | 20:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | even if it can't play the codec | 20:56 |
| Diverdude | yaaaay....only 2 weeks until ubuntu version 10.04 | 20:56 |
| elknof1 | yoyoned: mount my /home in win with IFS but IFS doesnt recognize it since it has an inode different from 128 (actual 256) | 20:56 |
| Cyber_Akuma | But if its not in the eright folder, then you will need to choose display all in your ps3 | 20:56 |
| newnick | ok i just downloaded a UNR 9.10 that has MD5 matching the proper one listed on website... attemping install soon... | 20:56 |
| xangua | Diverdude: 2 weeks and 4 days | 20:56 |
| yoyoned | elknof1: what is IFS | 20:56 |
| Diverdude | i hope next update will go more smoothly than last | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | CaponeBH,ok I'll repeat : click on the speaker icon, then the mixer tab and make sure your input source is mic , then check the mic capture ctrls and crank them both if you have a mic boost as well. | 20:56 |
| Diverdude | ast time i had to reinstall my entire system :S | 20:57 |
| CaponeBH | HeavyJ409, try to format it on windows, maybe will work better... i have an xbox360 and i never tryed to format my pendrive on linux, but should it work too, however if u cant listen to mp3 music than is not the file extension that it is the problem | 20:57 |
| hiexpo | i am staying with karmic | 20:57 |
| * sixtila cant wait for lucid | 20:57 | |
| newnick | should i us UNETbootin to put the file on my USB drive? | 20:57 |

| ZykoticK9 | DexterF, Lucid uses Grub2 just like Karmic | 21:01 |

| gui77_ | ello | 21:10 |
| HeavyJ409 | so it's something to do with my computer, like ubuntu has it locked, or hidden when it transfers it | 21:10 |

| supermatt1000 | Zesturian ok now what | 21:37 |
| jake_ | how can i unhide files on my windows partition when accesing it through ubuntu | 21:37 |
| icedwater | There is a "General error mounting filesystems" and the system offers to go into maintenance mode, asking me to press Ctrl-D or enter the root password for maintenance. | 21:37 |
| zaxonspox | jakie_ there are already unhided | 21:37 |
| Rafael_ | Does anybody has experience with cwrsync? | 21:37 |

| supermatt1000 | Zesturian it is stilll only allowing em one x screen for some reason | 21:38 |
| icedwater | I had some random power loss, which I am assuming is due to a hardware issue (probably the adapter has gone loose) | 21:38 |
| Zesturian | supermatt1000, in the 'X Server Display Configuration' how many screens is it showing? | 21:39 |
| supermatt1000 | 2 | 21:39 |
| icedwater | So I decided to do a filesystem check to see if everything was all right | 21:39 |
| icedwater | But I couldn't boot into single-user aka recovery mode | 21:39 |
| Zesturian | supermatt1000, have you enabled both? | 21:39 |
| ikonia | icedwater: what is the error ? | 21:39 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ if you can see the SystemVolumeInformation folder it means it see and shows hidden files/folders | 21:39 |
| icedwater | Well, I could, but I couldn't get any of the options to work because a "General error mounting filesystems" would occur | 21:39 |
| N9NU | To whoever: I am using eBox and Ubuntu is a bit diff than Mandriva and I dont know what command via the CLI will allow me to adjust the resolution | 21:39 |

| supermatt1000 | Zesturian i am trying to turn the one that is off to set up it as a seprate x screen | 21:39 |
| icedwater | Regardless of what I did. | 21:39 |
| ikonia | icedwater: you don't run fsck on a mounted file system | 21:40 |
| icedwater | ikonia: "General error mounting filesystems" | 21:40 |
| ikonia | icedwater: you need to do it from a recovery / live CD | 21:40 |

| supermatt1000 | Zesturian i need it to be a seprate x screen not just twin veiw | 21:40 |

| === root is now known as Guest95501 | ||
| icedwater | ikonia: can I not unmount it from recovery mode? | 21:40 |
| ikonia | icedwater: no because you are using that file system to boot recovery mode | 21:40 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian cause i need it to be a independent sceen not just a clone of my main screen | 21:40 |
| icedwater | Thought so... | 21:40 |
| icedwater | But that doesn't explain the "General error mounting filesystems" error message, though does it? | 21:41 |
| Zesturian | supermatt1000, twinview is that, name is a tad ambiguous, but they'll operate independently. | 21:41 |
| ikonia | icedwater: it does if there is damage to the file systems | 21:41 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: yeah i can see it! but i still can't figure out what the other data is because it isn't showing anything | 21:41 |
| icedwater | What does? | 21:41 |
| ikonia | icedwater: if there is file system damage, that explains the general mounting error | 21:42 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ mayby windows lies :D | 21:42 |
| icedwater | Hmm ... that's what I thought you were saying. OK, I'll reboot using a live CD and run fsck. | 21:42 |

| jake_ | zaxonspox: hahah but i'm too paranoid about losing my data. i can't figure out what to do :) | 21:42 |
| Zesturian | supermatt1000, configure it with resolution, where you wish it to appear etc, then click 'save to X Configuration file' then logout, and go to the drop down bit at login and click 'restart X server' (just to make sure... though when you logout, chances are x server has restarted) | 21:42 |

| zaxonspox | jake_ do you have other partition/drive with 22GB of free space? | 21:54 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian i think i cant test it right now because my sisters using the tv but i am sure its working | 21:54 |
| zamba | OmniT3ch: if i understood your question correctly | 21:54 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian i got a vga to svideo converter | 21:54 |
| OmniT3ch | zamba: well, won't that mess up the Windows boot sequence? | 21:55 |
| zaxonspox | Lym sudo apt-get install libstdc and press TAB to show whats in reps | 21:55 |
| Zesturian | Cool supermatt1000, I just setup my 3rd screen a couple of days ago, I think I've reached my limit of screens needed. | 21:55 |
| zamba | OmniT3ch: grub detects the other operating systems residing on your hard drive and includes that in its menu | 21:55 |
| OmniT3ch | ah | 21:55 |
| === mentr is now known as mentr_bnc | ||
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian nice | 21:55 |
| OmniT3ch | so, is the MBR the small 8mb partition on the Windows HD? | 21:55 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: yes my ubuntu partition | 21:56 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian it works | 21:56 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: no its actually 17 | 21:56 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian just tested it | 21:56 |
| Zesturian | Good to hear supermatt1000 :)... while you're still fresh with what it's done, check out the xorg.conf, you can see what additions it has made. | 21:56 |
| zamba | OmniT3ch: no; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record | 21:56 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ so maby move some data (5GB) to Flash Drive, or other Drive | 21:57 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: manual copy paste? | 21:57 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ data from ubuntu Partition manualy copy paste to Flash Drive, to make space for partition C file image | 21:58 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: but my windows has way too many viruses which will be there in the image too and in the new reinstall if i back up using it | 21:58 |

| supermatt1000 | Zesturian looks alot longer for me | 21:59 |
| supermatt1000 | Zesturian looks alot longer to me | 21:59 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ allrigt so, go inside DaS go to your account folder and check if you have all your files there ... | 21:59 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: thats the issue, i cant locate 7gb of data there :p | 22:00 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: i cant SEE it for some reason. its not whowing up | 22:00 |
| jake_ | showing | 22:00 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ your paranoid will kill you faster than windows and viruses | 22:00 |
| Droopsta915 | Why does Evolution ask me for a password and I just click cancel and it opens right up, without the pass word? | 22:00 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ also you dont see files, and you know which files arent visible? or you dont know which files are those 7GB? | 22:01 |
| supermatt1000 | is there a way to back up all my applications so when i reinstall lucid when it comes out i can install all my programs easily | 22:01 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: i know i am way too paranoid but umm can't do anything about it right now :p data is important :D | 22:01 |
| rocket16 | I want to try Lucid's Empathy version in Karmic Koala. I can build from source, but that might cause errors, so is there any other option to upgrade my Empathy? | 22:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | !clone | supermatt1000 | 22:02 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: as far as i remember there aren't supposed to be any files there but i did the unhide thing but nothing showed up | 22:02 |
| ubottu | supermatt1000: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:02 |
| supermatt1000 | thanks | 22:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | supermatt1000, Lucid may or may not like your Karmic list however - there are package changes, so this may not work! | 22:02 |
| OmniT3ch | zamba: ok, so question: what *is* the MBR when selecting where to put grub on the Ubuntu installer? | 22:02 |
| supermatt1000 | ok | 22:03 |
| Zesturian | omikron4, the mbr is small amount of diskspace reserved on your boot drive for the BIOS to read | 22:03 |
| supermatt1000 | thanks for the help | 22:03 |
| ManDay | can somone tell me how to get the GIMP toolboxes to stay the heck behind my canvas and not be "always on top"? | 22:03 |
| OmniT3ch | so, how do i tell where that is so i can put grub there | 22:04 |
| Zesturian | No problem supermatt1000, enjoy the increased productivity ;) | 22:04 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ let me clarify something for you: Windows is like a bug, last time on Vista 50GB partition only 10GB was free, but data on C: was only 30GB. I also coulnt find rest of GB | 22:04 |
| Zesturian | OmniT3ch, it'll be your boot drive, so fdisk the drives one by one and check for the boot flag | 22:04 |
| OmniT3ch | so, on step 7 of the Ubuntu installer, under 'Advanced Options', the device i should choose is /dev/sda ? | 22:05 |
| xnox | Can anyone give me a link to download intrepid ISO? cause it seemed to disappeared from the releases/cdimages ubuntu.com | 22:05 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: yeah i have come to realize that i should use ubuntu full time. at the same time i know my drive was full and i have accounted for the rest of the data also. but not the 7gb | 22:06 |
| mariela | If install all plugins or any kind of media player, will it be useable for all users and groups? | 22:07 |
| Khaos | Anyone around? | 22:07 |
| OmniT3ch | so, on step 7 of the Ubuntu installer, under 'Advanced Options', the device i should choose is /dev/sda ? | 22:08 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ win is build incorrect - in Linux you have a /home partition for data, in Win EVERY thing is on C: | 22:08 |
| Zesturian | OmniT3ch, how many drives do you have? | 22:08 |
| OmniT3ch | 2 | 22:08 |
| wizard1 | I have just loaded 9.10 and am a new Ubuntu user. When I installed the OS, I used the keyring with a password. I would like to eliminate using a password when booting. I would like to know where the program is for Keyring and how to open it so I can edit preferences. | 22:08 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: hahahhhaha it sucks | 22:08 |
| Zesturian | Which one is the previous operating system installed on? | 22:08 |
| OmniT3ch | one hard drive (the Primary master), has Windows on it | 22:09 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: when i reinstall windows i wil lose the GRUB loader right? | 22:09 |
| OmniT3ch | the other, (Primary Slave) has Ubuntu, or will have | 22:09 |
| Zesturian | Install grub on the one which has windows | 22:09 |
| Khaos | Hey everyone, I have a small problem. I'm duel booting my windows 7 and Ubuntu. It's worked fine, but not it doesn't. After choosing ubuntu through Grub, I get a blank terminal page which I can't do anything on at all and need to restart. Can I fix this or am I better off reinstall it? | 22:09 |
| omikron4 | Zesturian, whay are you referring about me? | 22:09 |
| zaxonspox | jake_ but you could resinatll windows without losing data, i think so, yes, you will need to reinstall GRUB | 22:09 |
| Zesturian | OmniT3ch, did you select 'Install side by side'? | 22:10 |
| OmniT3ch | Zesturian: so, i'd just pick /dev/sda1 , the partition with windows, or just the actual disk, /dev/sda? | 22:10 |
| jake_ | zaxonspox: i need to get rid of the viruses and could you please tell me how i can get access to the grub back ? | 22:10 |
| Zesturian | OmniT3ch, the disk. | 22:11 |
| maxou | HI ! | 22:11 |
| OmniT3ch | ok, so that would be /dev/sda | 22:11 |

| jrib | UnderSampled: I guess you're really asking two questions. One is "How do I set the external editor used in blender" and two is "How do I do that through ssh (I probably need to edit a text file)?". If that's what you are asking, the blender channel might know better. I have no clue | 22:38 |
| crashdata | AN1o, is that laptop connected to the internet though? using an ethernet wire? | 22:38 |
| AN1o | crashdata yes | 22:38 |
| UnderSampled | jrib: I know how to set the setting in blender. I am only wanting to know the command to use for running a single program through ssh | 22:39 |
| jrib | UnderSampled: ssh host COMMAND | 22:39 |
| Guest86706 | My question doesn't really have anything to do with Wine | 22:39 |
| UnderSampled | jrib: it's that simple? | 22:39 |
| UnderSampled | wow | 22:39 |
| Guest86706 | I just want to know how to make the CD not read only anymore | 22:39 |
| crashdata | AN1o, and u cant download wicd....try this command again.... sudo apt-get install wicd | 22:40 |
| Zesturian | UnderSampled, if it's an app running via x, you'll need to enable x forwarding. | 22:40 |
| jrib | UnderSampled: yes, but if you need to copy the file first somehow, you'll have to do more... | 22:40 |
| UnderSampled | jrib: true | 22:40 |

| brax | Thank you, undersampled. | 22:46 |
| brax | I have previously stated my question. | 22:46 |
| UnderSampled | brax: do you know what the error is? | 22:46 |
| brax | The complete error message I receive is: | 22:46 |
| jrib | brax: you need to be more specific and give details | 22:46 |
| brax | Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: | 22:46 |
| brax | That's it | 22:46 |
| brax | Excuse my ignorance, jrib. | 22:47 |
| UnderSampled | brax: are you running X? | 22:47 |
| brax | X? | 22:47 |
| UnderSampled | brax: is this from the command line? | 22:47 |
| brax | sorry, I'm undereducated to linux. | 22:47 |
| inglor_ | brax: did you install it yourself or did you install it from the repos with apt-get (or synaptic) | 22:47 |
| brax | Yes, it is. | 22:47 |
| brax | I installed it with sudo apt-get install gparted | 22:47 |
| UnderSampled | brax: do you have windows that you can move around | 22:47 |
| brax | Yes, undersampled. | 22:47 |
| inglor_ | brax, does your linux have windows in it or is it command line like (like dos) | 22:47 |
| brax | In a terminal, to be specific. | 22:47 |
| brax | It has windows. | 22:47 |
| inglor_ | brax, oh ok, did you download it yourself or install it from synaptic? | 22:48 |
| brax | I installed it via the command line. | 22:48 |
| inglor_ | brax, using apt-get? | 22:48 |
| brax | sudo apt-get install gparted | 22:48 |
| shayne | cornwall: how would one get that package? i tried sudo apt-get install libdvdcss and it said unavailable. i also tried searching for it in synaptic package manager and it couldnt find it. | 22:48 |
| brax | ^that | 22:48 |
| Cornwall | shayne: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 22:49 |

| Sebo[a] | can anyone help? | 22:51 |
| UnderSampled | !nvidia | Sebo[a]: | 22:51 |
| ubottu | Sebo[a]:: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:51 |
| brax | inglor, should I uninstall it with the terminal and then install it with synaptic? | 22:51 |
| inglor_ | I think I know what might be the problem brax | 22:51 |
| inglor_ | brax, try running gksu gparted from the terminal | 22:51 |
| UnderSampled | Sebo[a]: also, support of rnvidia is on #nvidia | 22:51 |
| mcurrington | What is the difference between Chromium Browser and Google Chrome? | 22:51 |
| Sebo[a] | ok | 22:52 |
| inglor_ | brax: might be a permissions thing | 22:52 |
| Sebo[a] | ty | 22:52 |
| brax | That did solve it, inglor_ | 22:52 |
| inglor_ | mcurrington: chromioum is the open source project | 22:52 |
| inglor_ | brax, sure :) | 22:52 |
| mcurrington | inglor_: Thanks | 22:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | mcurrington, Chromium is the opensource (development version) of Google's propritary Chrome | 22:52 |
| inglor_ | mcurrington: chrome is the compiled program by google | 22:52 |
| brax | Please tell me what the error was, so I can understand and fix issues like that in the future. | 22:52 |
| UnderSampled | Sebo[a]: No problem. | 22:52 |
| inglor_ | ZykoticK9's answer is better | 22:52 |
| brax | ^to inglor_, sorry, forgot to add your name | 22:52 |
| UnderSampled | brax: many functions in linux can only be run as root. | 22:53 |
| inglor_ | brax, gksu is like sudo | 22:53 |
| inglor_ | brax, you need it to run apps as an administrator | 22:53 |
| UnderSampled | brax: sudo (switch user, do) switches to root to run the program | 22:53 |
| OmniT3ch | inglor: yes i am | 22:53 |
| OmniT3ch | its the dam boot loader giving me trouble | 22:53 |
| inglor_ | UnderSampled: it's superuser lol | 22:53 |
| brax | I had no idea what sudo meant! Thanks for the clarification, inglor_ and UnderSampled! | 22:53 |
| UnderSampled | inglor_: no, because su can switch users | 22:54 |
| Xkcd | Don't mean to interrupt any conversation, but I take it this is the Ubuntu channel? | 22:54 |
| inglor_ | UnderSampled: it's superuser | 22:54 |
| OmniT3ch | i put GRUB on the boot HD, and then i got that error i posted | 22:54 |
| brax | XKCD!!! | 22:54 |
| inglor_ | UnderSampled: sudo translates to superuser do | 22:54 |
| amos81 | Xkcd: y | 22:54 |
| Xkcd | amos81 Thank you | 22:54 |
| brax | Are you actually the writer for xkcd!? | 22:54 |
| Xkcd | Brax : No | 22:54 |
| brax | Oh, that's disappointing. | 22:54 |
| brax | :C | 22:54 |
| Xkcd | Brax: sorry to dissapoint you | 22:54 |
| brax | It's okay, you're forgiven. | 22:55 |
| UnderSampled | inglor_: I of course, could be wrong. but I can run "su user", and it will give me s shell as if I was that user | 22:55 |
| brax | UnderSampled, do you mind if I pm you? | 22:55 |
| inglor_ | !su | 22:55 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 22:55 |
| UnderSampled | brax: no, I don't | 22:55 |
| inglor_ | UnderSampled: but that's what it translates to XD, I really like how ubuntu utilizes sudo instead of su | 22:55 |
| UnderSampled | inglor_: yes. I am sure that I would install sudo if I was on a different distro | 22:56 |
| hunahpu | OmniT3ch: what error do you get? | 22:56 |

| toyman61 | inglor, : Installing using sudo apt-get install openoffice gives me the english language..... | 22:59 |
| inglor_ | toyman61, I don't use the 64bit repos...but I know from a friend it's relatively simple | 22:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | OmniT3ch, are you using a fresh install of Karmic? That link is instructions for Grub1 that older versions of Ubuntu used. | 22:59 |
| toyman61 | inglor_ : But since I'm a newbie - where can I find them ? | 22:59 |
| OmniT3ch | ok problem: | 23:00 |

| OmniT3ch | im installing Ubuntu 9.10 | 23:01 |
| inglor_ | toyman61, whoops, lack of sleep, just tab for autocomplete | 23:02 |
| inglor_ | toyman61, which language do you use? | 23:03 |
| OmniT3ch | so i guess i need new instructions for reinstalling grub. | 23:03 |
| hunahpu | OmniT3ch: did you type "sudo grub" ? (no quotes) | 23:03 |
| OmniT3ch | yeah | 23:03 |

| hunahpu | OmniT3ch: are you using 9.10 LiveCD? I'm not sure it has grub legacy installer | 23:05 |
| Sebo[a] | in the nvidia chan they said i should ask here | 23:05 |
| inglor | Seba[a], with gui or in CLI? | 23:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | hunahpu, it doesn't | 23:05 |
| shinyhat | thanks inglor :) | 23:05 |
| Sebo[a] | dunno what it is | 23:05 |
| OmniT3ch | ok so now i have to specify a device | 23:05 |
| hunahpu | OmniT3ch: 9.10 doesn't have GRUB 1 installer, do you have 9.04 LiveCD? | 23:06 |
| inglor | Sebo[a]: do you want to do it within a graphical interface, or a "text" interface | 23:06 |
| hunahpu | ZykoticK9: thanks btw :) | 23:06 |
| Sebo[a] | doesnt matter | 23:06 |
| Sebo[a] | the one which is easier | 23:06 |

| colorlessprism | 9.04 wanted to use GrubLegacy 9.10 wants Grub2 to install...obviously a problem | 23:15 |

| colorlessprism | delete the folder | 23:16 |

| elkinc2000 | somebody can helpme with the Karmic Installation? | 23:17 |
| xangua | inglor_: no you don't, just fix releases, not major updates | 23:17 |
| token_bucket | only deleting the folder is ok? | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | token_bucket, you'll need to check the documentation of the program but returning to source directory "sudo make uninstall" *might* work | 23:17 |
| Zesturian | token_bucket, make clean (if there's a routine setup for it) | 23:17 |
| hunahpu | elkinc2000: are you experiencing problems with installation or you just want a walk through? | 23:17 |

| elkinc2000 | i have a problem | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | token_bucket, in future you should use checkinstall to install source programs - then there is a clean uninstall method | 23:18 |
| SuperMiguel | xangua, thanks | 23:18 |
| hunahpu | elkinc2000: what's the problem? | 23:18 |

| Out_Cold | is there a way to see recently installed packages? | 23:22 |
| Out_Cold | maybe a way to filter to see what was installed in the last 1 day? | 23:22 |
| bribroder | gizmobay, you tried the force quit applet? | 23:22 |
| elkinc2000 | the message is "mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /cdrom failed: Invalid argument" | 23:22 |
| genii | Out_Cold: The log is in /var/log/dpkg.log | 23:23 |
| Out_Cold | thankyou | 23:23 |
| gizmobay | I could kill the app, I'd like to avoid | 23:23 |

| doctorZeus | is there a way to restart the nautilus service without rebooting? I had some issues where several windows locked up on me (started with vmware guests closing down I believe) and I can't get nautilus to open at all, it clocks for about 10 seconds then goes away without opening the window | 23:24 |
| Out_Cold | xangua, it's headless but thanks | 23:24 |
| bribroder | gizmobay, you can set a shortcut key to shrink a window as much as possible | 23:24 |
| gizmobay | I don't see it in simple | 23:25 |
| xangua | doctorZeus: just open the system monitor and kill the procces | 23:25 |
| h4f | is there a way to remove livecd from the system running livecd ? | 23:25 |
| elkinc2000 | hunahpu: but when i change de video card from my GeForce 7300LE to the integrated video card, the installer runs fine | 23:26 |

| brax | How do I look at the options for visual effects? | 23:26 |
| brax | Other than none, normal, extra? | 23:26 |
| Out_Cold | h4f, i have run just a shell in ram but it's not something i know much about | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | h4f, i believe you'd need 2 cd drives for that to be possible | 23:26 |
| shinyhat | h4f: tried an ubuntu live usb? | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | shinyhat, +1 | 23:27 |
| Out_Cold | usb is a fail with lvms and apt | 23:27 |
| token_bucket | Zesturian: if i do make uninstall,in source folder , the sistem respond :no rules found to create uninstall objective | 23:27 |
| h4f | shinyhat: yeap but I curently dont have usb. and I need to burn cd. and my main system is not working. and I have only 32bit livecd so I can't rescue my 64bit system | 23:27 |
| doctorZeus | xangua, I've done that a couple of times..it kills the process, but when I try and open nautilus up the process comes back as sleeping without ever opening the window | 23:27 |
| bribroder | gizmobay, i recommend you install compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 23:27 |
| Out_Cold | 32bit should work on 64.. | 23:28 |
| bribroder | gizmobay, or restart your computer/kill the popup :p | 23:28 |
| xangua | !ccsm | brax | 23:28 |
| ubottu | brax: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 23:28 |
| doctorZeus | The search will continue later..need to get into nautilus, will reboot and brb | 23:28 |
| ring1 | can i teach nautilus to open each new instance in an existent window as a tab? | 23:29 |
| h4f | Out_Cold: its working. but I can't chroot to my installed system from 32 bit | 23:29 |
| Out_Cold | ring1, pretty certian the settings are in preferences | 23:29 |
| gizmobay | I just asked how to shut the window in the #lives channel. No one is there so hopefully, I'll get a response later. | 23:30 |

| anom01y | xangua, you mean open /etc/init.d/tor in a text editor and comment out the /usr/sbin/tor part ??? | 23:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | tm0, there doesn't seem to be a purelxde factoid, so you'll have to adapt above instructions (if possible) | 23:35 |
| Out_Cold | ring1, actually no. I checked myself. the option I was thinking of is in the right click. Might be a setting somewhere | 23:36 |
| tm0 | ZykoticK9 i am following this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8754516&postcount=3 But i had to skip the minimal CD | 23:37 |

| Xkcd | Guys, I'm having some troubles with the update-manager and i'm a very new (to Ubuntu at least) user, anyone able to help me? | 23:38 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | anyone here know what all is needed to tether a htc droid eris to ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| gm|lap | Xkcd: you could consider asking xkcd himself... having said that, uh, what's the problem? | 23:39 |
| xangua | !details | Xkcd | 23:39 |
| ubottu | Xkcd: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:39 |
| Xkcd | I'm using 9.10 (koala I think) and when I use the Update manager it always says "Not all updates can be installed" and prompts me to do a Partial Upgrade. So when I do it goes through "Preparing to upgrade" and then goes to "Error authenticating some packages" every time. | 23:40 |
| n08l3J | Hola ubunutu folks | 23:41 |
| TannerF | anyone know if there is an apt-get thing for MediaWiki::API 0.2, WWW::Mechanize 1.30, and XML::Simple 2.16 perl modules? | 23:41 |
| n08l3J | DOes upgrading to a newwer version modifies grub or mbr? | 23:41 |
| gm|lap | yeah, i tend to get issues with authenticating packages | 23:41 |
| n08l3J | newer version of ubuntu | 23:41 |
| gm|lap | n08l3J: well, it gives you a new kernel | 23:41 |
| Xkcd | It gives me a list of unauthenticated packages, but I have no idea what to do with them or how to fix it | 23:41 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | anyone here know what all is needed to tether a htc droid eris to ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| gm|lap | Xkcd: try this in a terminal: sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:42 |
| xangua | Xkcd: maybe those packages are still not ready, or did you add some extra repository recently¿ | 23:42 |
| gm|lap | if that fails, you could try sudo apt-get -f upgrade | 23:42 |
| Xkcd | Its giving me a "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)" | 23:42 |
| Xkcd | which i've had before, too much | 23:42 |
| gm|lap | weird. | 23:43 |
| Xkcd | whoops, had update manager still open | 23:43 |
| gm|lap | i'm not sure how to force-clear+replace a lock | 23:43 |
| gm|lap | heh | 23:43 |
| Xkcd | it worked now, doing stuff | 23:43 |

| Khisanth | TannerF: for which version of ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| Xkcd | Says some are unauthenticated, I said Y to update and all, is it basically updating them all anyway? | 23:44 |

| pider | hi, I have installed "Simple Backup" to take backup of my computer. It takes backup once a week and send it to a server I have. This seems to work well. After some weeks now the directory have many subdirectories called <name>.inc and one called <name>.ful. Now I wonder if it is safe to delete some of this subdirectories called <name>.inc and leave behind the <name>.ful and the latest <name>.inc. | 23:48 |
