|---|---|---|
| That_Wiki_Guy | furball: That OR it's not compatible | 00:06 |
| furball | i mean | 00:06 |

| furball | no i mean the video itself | 00:07 |
| furball | like i just get VLC hanging when trying to load it | 00:07 |
| nishanth | furball no it is clearly working on a windows computer and even on someone else who uses linux | 00:07 |
| furball | oh hold up let me try it on my VM | 00:07 |
| nishanth | i mean someone else's computer | 00:08 |
| furball | strange.. | 00:10 |
| furball | when i try and load it IE says some shit about operation aborted. | 00:10 |
| furball | whatever, fuckit. | 00:10 |
| * furball doesnt know why people still use mms | 00:10 | |
| That_Wiki_Guy | furball: Language plz | 00:10 |
| furball | gtfo plz | 00:11 |
| nishanth | seriously is there no one who know how to solve this ? | 00:11 |
| nhandler | furball: Please don't say stuff like that here | 00:11 |
| furball | oh hey | 00:11 |
| furball | sorry :/ | 00:11 |
| That_Wiki_Guy | nishanth: Im sure there's a way just it's hard to find | 00:11 |
| furball | yeah i've known for sure VLC to work with MMS | 00:12 |
| That_Wiki_Guy | nishanth: Ive had a few issues like that before | 00:12 |
| furrball | that was weird.. | 00:15 |
| furrball | my laptop just like halted for no reason | 00:16 |
| That_Wiki_Guy | furrball: Is it a windows machine? | 00:16 |
| furrball | -__- | 00:16 |
| furrball | yeah, it's a windows machine. | 00:16 |
| That_Wiki_Guy | furrball: Then that's why it halted | 00:16 |
| furrball | im joking | 00:17 |
| furrball | no i've been like underclocking and overclocking and undervolting this hell out of my cpu | 00:17 |
| furrball | so it's probably like | 00:17 |
| furrball | screwed | 00:17 |
| That_Wiki_Guy | furrball: Plz stop swearing...you can use a more appropriate choice of words and still have the same effect | 00:19 |

| phillw | wb ZachK_ | 00:25 |
| ZachK_ | Thanks phillw | 00:25 |
| goran | Hm, has anyone here been to LPIC? | 00:25 |
| ZachK_ | goran: What? | 00:25 |
| * phillw who is LPIC | 00:25 | |
| goran | LPIC, certification | 00:25 |
| ZachK_ | Then no I have not | 00:26 |
| goran | LPI - linux professional insitute | 00:26 |
| * ZachK_ doesn't need to be certified because he's fully awesome!!! | 00:26 | |
| ZachK_ | Joint | 00:26 |
| phillw | I'm looking at http://www.ubuntu.com/training/certificationcourses/ucp | 00:26 |
| ZachK_ | Dang it...joking | 00:26 |
| phillw | goran: that includes the LPI | 00:27 |
| goran | ubuntu certified? | 00:27 |
| goran | aha, I see | 00:28 |
| phillw | goran: yeah, it covers the LP modules | 00:28 |
| goran | phillw, is it possible to do it completely online? | 00:29 |
| phillw | goran: no, you do have to go to an exam centre to sit the exam (It's not that they don't trust you with an exam paper at home and the internet .. it's just that they don't :-D ) | 00:31 |
| phillw | but the course work does not require going to school | 00:32 |
| goran | phillw good to know | 00:36 |
| iantlopp | is it possible to change the background in X with a shortcut key? I have a folder of backgrounds that it *REALLY* slowly goes through and I'd like to switch between them a bit easier from time to time | 00:37 |
| goran | phillw, but is it A B C D test only? | 00:42 |
| goran | I know that LPIC is | 00:42 |
| phillw | I have no idea, I only looked at the exam last week. I'd need to have a chat round 1st before I make a decsion | 00:45 |
| goran | aha | 00:45 |
| phillw | all the information i have is on that link. | 00:45 |
| * phillw was hoping to go to goa for 4 weeks | 00:46 | |
| goran | phillw, goa? | 00:46 |
| phillw | goran: http://www.koenig-solutions.com/training/Ubuntu.asp?CourseId=304&CityName=Goa&hStatus=Koenig%20Apartment&currid=6&k= | 00:49 |
| goran | hmm...but look at the prices | 00:50 |
| phillw | well they want 1500GBP for a snotty 5 day course in the UK ... now go look at the prices ;-) | 00:51 |
| goran | :) | 00:51 |
| stlsaint | hey smart folks...i need some help... | 00:56 |
| * phillw not smart | 00:57 | |
| * iantlopp more not smarter than phillw | 00:59 | |
| phillw | stlsaint: if I can help I will, so ask away :-) | 01:00 |
| stlsaint | phillw: networking issue. | 01:00 |
| stlsaint | so i have a server hosting my website.... | 01:00 |
| stlsaint | phillw: i go to...www.mysite.com and i see the site just fine | 01:00 |
| stlsaint | phillw: i call a friend to do the same thing and they get sent to a google search result page.... | 01:01 |
| phillw | stlsaint: have you recently signed up for google apps? | 01:01 |
| stlsaint | i dont know whats going on... i have iptables but ive had them since i originaly had the server with no issues | 01:01 |
| stlsaint | google apps?? | 01:01 |
| stlsaint | i havent done anything on the server | 01:02 |
| phillw | yeah,they ask for verification via the host records, if you set it up wrongly the whole site will go to google search | 01:03 |
| stlsaint | nope, i have done nothing to the site | 01:03 |
| phillw | stlsaint: give me couple of minutes | 01:04 |
| stlsaint | kk | 01:04 |
| phillw | stlsaint: this sounds like this to me http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hlrm=en&answer=47283 | 01:05 |
| stlsaint | i've checked that already though...i use godaddy...but i will double check again | 01:06 |
| phillw | it's very easy to get it wrong and have the entire site point to google search, if you have messed it up then it can take 48 hours for it to correct (there is a cheat you can do to 'push' it) but that will only affect the index page. | 01:07 |
| phillw | stlsaint: godaddy --> http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47610 | 01:08 |
| * phillw prefers to use the meta tag rather than mess with cnames, but others prefer to use the cname alterations - meta tags, however, cannot re-direct your site :-) | 01:14 | |
| stlsaint | godaddy uses their own cnames for hosting | 01:17 |
| stlsaint | but this is something that ive never edited before so it cant be effecting my stuff could it? | 01:18 |
| phillw | stlsaint: well google suggest you contact godaddy with the following link http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=69010 | 01:18 |
| phillw | stlsaint: if your site is now pointing to google, some part of the DNS records have been altered. | 01:19 |
| phillw | I don't use godaddy, so can not help too much except I have heard of the problem before and I think you need to get in touch with godaddy about it. they seem to have a non-standard way of hosting records :-\ | 01:20 |
| phillw | i pay 15USD / year for my hosting and 15USD/year for my registration of my domain - that way my domain records are mine and not belonging to godaddy (or other such companies) they can be real PITS's when you want to move your registration. | 01:22 |
| stlsaint | well i can use my own if i choose too... | 01:23 |
| phillw | stlsaint: i'd suggest using the link for reporting the issue to godaddy, as it for them and google - I'm sorry I cannot be of more help. | 01:29 |
| phillw | I'm not allowed to advertise the host provider I use in IRC, you can always stalk me and ask ;-) | 01:30 |
| Appl6 | phillw: Why not? | 01:31 |
| phillw | advertising is not allowed. even though my host provider is a registered charity | 01:32 |
| Appl6 | phillw: Naming the hosting provider you use, especially if it's to mention the positive experience you had with it, hardly seems like advertising. | 01:33 |
| Appl6 | Any more than me saying I have an NVIDIA graphics card that works well with Ubuntu. | 01:34 |
| phillw | Appl6: http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26 Now, if i get banned I can blame you :P | 01:35 |
| Appl6 | phillw: Ha. | 01:36 |
| phillw | he's just made me into an assigner of accounts, what ever that entails ;-) But, i don't think anyone can grumble at $15 with the profits going to a stroke rehabilitation unit in his home state over in the USA | 01:42 |
| stlsaint | alright smart people i have another question... | 02:25 |
| stlsaint | anyone round? | 02:26 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: ping | 02:26 |
| stlsaint | so silent... | 02:34 |

| nishanth | anyone know an alternative for activex on ubuntu | 03:06 |
| malev_ | hi, anybody here? | 03:32 |
| ddecator | maybe | 03:32 |
| malev_ | I need to install some packages in a machine without access to internet | 03:32 |
| malev_ | any idesas ? | 03:32 |
| ddecator | you can download the .deb for each package, put them on a usb drive, then install them on the other machine. you'd have to make sure to get all of the dependencies too though | 03:33 |
| malev_ | ddecator, that it's what's scares me, what about the dependencies, how to get them all? | 03:33 |
| malev_ | is there any script or something that could help me with them? | 03:34 |
| ddecator | the best way i can think of is use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ which will list the dependencies of each package | 03:36 |
| nishanth | anyone know how to make something that uses activex to work in firefox | 03:46 |
| ddecator | i'm not sure there is a linux equivalent. what are you trying to do in firefox? | 03:49 |

| wojox | What's up Zack | 09:07 |
| linux | must have put wrong pass wile autologin | 09:07 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: you can stop the autologin - edit the file in recovery - then try from the login window - write down the error message | 09:07 |
| ZachK_ | wojox: not much...you know you're up for membership right | 09:08 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: reboot - go to the second option in the boot menu and edit the file with nano nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf | 09:08 |

| jetli68 | in boot to the command prompt and type start x desktop loads but a new one not the one with my stuff on it | 09:08 |
| wojox | I guess I'll have to attend the next meeting | 09:08 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: find the line AutomaticLoginEnable=true and change to false | 09:09 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: then Ctrl+x to save the file - follow the prompts | 09:09 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: when you get the recovery menu you need to choose Root Prompt before you can edit the file | 09:09 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: then after you have finished editing the file - Exit and Resume from the menu | 09:10 |
| jetli68 | k will try that 2 ticks i will just write it down then try it | 09:10 |
| hobgoblin | jetli68: that will get you back to a normal login - then write the error down and come back :) | 09:11 |

| linux | i wanna add protocol in pidgin | 09:15 |
| linux | how can i do that | 09:15 |
| ZachK_ | linux: meaning a chat protocol? | 09:15 |
| linux | ya like yahoo,gtalk | 09:16 |
| linux | i wanna add nimbuzz | 09:16 |
| linux | i wanna add new protocol in pedgin like yahoo,gtalk, i like to add nimbuzz how can i do that | 09:20 |
| ddecator | linux: you have to add it as a Jabber account | 09:20 |
| linux | ddecator, where is that | 09:22 |
| ddecator | linux: i don't have pidgin, but there is an option to add accounts in one of the menus (probably File or Edit) | 09:22 |
| ZachK_ | linux: click the "Accounts" tab | 09:23 |
| ddecator | oh, haha, it has its own menu :p | 09:23 |
| linux | ya it has thn i go to add then it has basic tab and different protocol to select | 09:24 |
| ZachK_ | linux: that is correct | 09:24 |
| ZachK_ | linux: think you got it? | 09:24 |
| ZachK_ | linux: more than happy to walk you through it | 09:24 |
| linux | but i wanna add new protocol nimbuzz which it does not have | 09:25 |
| ddecator | linux: add it as a Jabber account :) | 09:25 |
| iantlopp | where would I find where a program, installed by apt, is located? | 09:26 |
| linux | there is no jabber i tryed with xmpp | 09:26 |
| ZachK_ | iantlopp: well what is the program | 09:27 |
| iantlopp | celestia | 09:27 |
| ZachK_ | iantlopp: most programs will be in the Applications menu | 09:27 |
| iantlopp | I need to add files to the program | 09:27 |
| iantlopp | no no... I need the actual installed directory | 09:27 |
| iantlopp | it comes with only basic stuff... I'm adding much more detailed textures, et al. but I need to know where those files go. | 09:27 |
| ddecator | iantlopp: you can look in /usr/share/ or /etc/ | 09:28 |
| linux | but i get log out from yahoo may be | 09:28 |
| iantlopp | not in either place from what I can tell :( | 09:29 |
| linux | it shows transpots friends and buddies | 09:30 |
| linux | what does it mean | 09:30 |
| ibuclaw | iantlopp, depends what program you are talking about. Most allow configuration via a directory path in your home | 09:31 |
| iantlopp | ibuclaw, the program is Celestia, and I can't find anything in Home for it either... | 09:31 |
| iantlopp | I'm supposed to put the files in a directory called "extras/-directory" under the main directory of Celestia, but I can't find that main directory | 09:32 |
| ddecator | apt-file might help | 09:32 |
| ibuclaw | mkay | 09:34 |
| ibuclaw | iantlopp, I take it it was celestia-gnome you installed? | 09:34 |
| ibuclaw | ( not that it will matter ;) | 09:35 |
| iantlopp | my guess would be yes, but I just used "sudo apt-get install celestia" to install it | 09:35 |
| ibuclaw | so it could have chosen either or | 09:36 |
| iantlopp | well it works, but it didn't properly create a shortcut to it in applications, so I dunno... | 09:37 |
| iantlopp | celestia is in the path (i.e. I can run it from terminal by just typing celestia, regardless of which directory I'm currently in), so is there a way to check the path to see where it might be installed? | 09:41 |
| wojox | iantlopp: whereis celestia | 09:44 |
| iantlopp | okay, this is bizarre... I open celestia, then click "File Open" and it brings up a dialog box that shows "user/share/celestia" however, I can't find celestia in that folder... | 09:44 |
| iantlopp | wojox: that's what I'm trying to figure out. | 09:45 |
| ddecator | iantlopp: that's a command | 09:45 |
| iantlopp | oh, sorry.. heh. | 09:45 |
| wojox | Sorry about that, yes just run it in your terminal. | 09:46 |
| ddecator | haha, no problem | 09:46 |
| ddecator | forgot about that command...i kept thinking of 'which' and that doesn't help | 09:46 |
| iantlopp | okay, just a moment... it says "usr/bin/celestia" "/usr/share/celestia" and a few others but those directories don't exist. | 09:46 |
| ddecator | try running 'cd /usr/share/celestia' | 09:47 |
| ddecator | see if it works or not | 09:47 |
| iantlopp | okay, I can get there... why the heck does nautilus not show it? | 09:47 |
| ddecator | if you go into /usr/share/ just start typing celestia | 09:48 |
| ddecator | see if it finds it for you | 09:48 |
| iantlopp | it doesn't | 09:48 |
| iantlopp | okay, if I go to terminal and type sudo nautilus, I can then navigate to it, but it doesn't show up when I just go to the directory as normal.. yeesh | 09:49 |
| iantlopp | I probably would have stumbled upon it about a dozen times by now had I thought of that.. heh | 09:50 |
| iantlopp | thanks muchly! | 09:50 |
| iantlopp | and now I can't extract files into it... augh | 09:52 |
| ddecator | even with sudo? | 09:52 |
| iantlopp | eh, I have to copy it from nautilus over... if I try to copy it from the archive manager over to the sudo nautilus, then it won't work, but non sudo nautilus to sudo nautilus does | 09:54 |
| === zach_ is now known as Guest83902 | ||
| wojox | iantlopp: that's a cool application. Never heard of it before. Just downloaded it. | 09:57 |
| iantlopp | wojox: enjoy... the more you get into it, the more addicting it gets... | 09:57 |
| iantlopp | check out www.celestiamotherlode.net as well... 18 GB of add-ons | 09:58 |
| iantlopp | trying to install the 32k maps at the moment. | 09:58 |
| wojox | 10-4 | 09:58 |
| ibuclaw | iantlopp, yep, just playing about, you can move it to /usr/share/celestia/extras | 10:05 |
| ibuclaw | you can also: sudo gedit /etc/celestia.cfg | 10:05 |
| ibuclaw | search for "ExtrasDirectories" | 10:06 |
| iantlopp | that's where I put it... the program's just being silly... I seem to remember this problem from windows | 10:06 |
| ibuclaw | and add "/home/yourname/.celestia" | 10:06 |
| ibuclaw | so you can just put addons in ~/.celestia without the need for root privileges | 10:07 |
| ibuclaw | the model I'm testing (ngc 3372) doesn't seem to work though ... ;) | 10:07 |
| ibuclaw | it's just a big gray square in the galaxy. | 10:08 |
| ibuclaw | iantlopp, actually... "~/.celestia" will work too in that configuration file | 10:11 |
| iantlopp | thanks for that ibuclaw | 10:11 |
| ibuclaw | heh, oic | 10:14 |
| iantlopp | ouc what? | 10:14 |
| ibuclaw | I just did a: strings ngc3372/models/ngc3372.3ds | 10:15 |
| ibuclaw | one of the things it returned was: | 10:15 |
| ibuclaw | NGC3372.JPG | 10:15 |
| ibuclaw | ls ngc3372/textures/medres | 10:16 |
| ibuclaw | ngc3372.jpg | 10:16 |
| ibuclaw | *that* needs renaming to all capitals ;| | 10:16 |
| ibuclaw | now it works ... kinda ;) | 10:17 |
| ibuclaw | anyway, have fun with that iantlopp | 10:20 |
| iantlopp | thanks... gotta go anyway | 10:20 |
| iantlopp | ttyl | 10:20 |

| zeroseven0183 | What's up peopl | 12:49 |
| kermiac | does anyone know of any public gobby servers? | 14:27 |
| compiledkernel | kermiac: run your own, its not that hard really. But I think there are a couple out there. | 14:56 |
| kermiac | hey compiledkernel! yeah, I setup my own. It's very easy, but I'd prefer not to have it running on my own personal server at home | 14:57 |
| compiledkernel | kermiac: as far as I know gobby.0x539.de is still a public server | 14:58 |
| kermiac | it's ok though - http://titanpad.com/ seems to do everything I need | 14:58 |
| kermiac | compiledkernel: thanks, I'll look into that too. Although ^^ works well enough that I may not need gobby. For endusers to use titanpad, all they need is a browser so it's probably a better option for wehat I need. Thanks for the info though :) | 14:59 |
| lukjad86 | Hey collinp | 15:06 |
| lukjad86 | Hey compiledkernel | 15:06 |
| compiledkernel | lukjad86: aye. | 15:06 |
| lukjad86 | How goes? | 15:07 |
| compiledkernel | livin. j00? | 15:07 |
| lukjad86 | Dying. ;) | 15:07 |
| lukjad86 | compiledkernel I made a couple of music vids, one of which is pretty popular | 15:08 |
| lukjad86 | Want to see? :D | 15:08 |
| compiledkernel | lol | 15:09 |
| compiledkernel | sure | 15:09 |
| compiledkernel | :) | 15:09 |
| Chesamo | Please don't be a rickroll please don't be a rickroll | 15:10 |
| Chesamo | Oh, no wait, you're the one who did the Ian McKellen one | 15:10 |
| Chesamo | iirc | 15:10 |
| compiledkernel | Chesamo: you obviously dont know my reputation in this channel. | 15:11 |
| Chesamo | compiledkernel: Yours? Nah | 15:12 |
| compiledkernel | im sure someone will pipe in on it eventually | 15:12 |
| compiledkernel | if you wait long enough | 15:12 |
| lukjad86 | compiledkernel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odqnPtYzGbc | 15:16 |
| lukjad86 | compiledkernel Sorry, was afk | 15:16 |
| lukjad86 | Chesamo Yes, that one | 15:16 |
| compiledkernel | lukjad86: interesting | 15:24 |
| lukjad86 | compiledkernel like it? :) | 15:25 |
| lukjad86 | criticisms? | 15:25 |
| lukjad86 | I also have another one I would like to have reviewed if you have the time | 15:25 |
| lukjad86 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkLzxdSd0Hg | 15:26 |
| compiledkernel | ill save the second one for later lukjad86 | 15:30 |
| lukjad86 | k | 15:30 |
| compiledkernel | but I should say in fairness, its quite accomplished. | 15:30 |
| Raidsong | when i was playing in the ubuntu software center in 10.04 i saw it said "install-free" is this to insinuate to a program that costs money? | 15:51 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: I suspect that future iterations of Software center may include pay for software. And this instance your looking at is merely a step forward in that direction, though not an impending sign of it. | 15:53 |
| Raidsong | this is the beginning of the end | 15:54 |
| lukjad86 | Raidsong Not really | 15:54 |
| compiledkernel | perhaps Raidsong | 15:54 |
| compiledkernel | but then perhaps not | 15:54 |
| lukjad86 | Raidsong Think codecs | 15:54 |
| lukjad86 | Some countries make it illegal to rip DVDs or watch them on Ubuntu | 15:55 |
| compiledkernel | Commercialization is the next logical step, regardless of how undesireable it may be. | 15:55 |
| lukjad86 | This would be a way to sell you them | 15:55 |
| Raidsong | but isnt that a slap in the face of ubuntu users everywhere | 15:56 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: some linux die hards and purists (Im one of them actually), would say so | 15:56 |
| compiledkernel | but the general populace as a whole, probably not. | 15:56 |
| lukjad86 | Raidsong Not really. As long as what is free remains free, adding stuff that is needed by only a few people at a reasonable cost and with a decent license seems fair | 15:56 |
| Raidsong | i can understand stores selling programs for linux but to put it right in the computer i might as well use a mac | 15:57 |
| compiledkernel | I suspect that finally the CNR integration that was so feared back in the breezy release days , may come to fruit very quickly now. | 15:57 |
| compiledkernel | as far as it being a problem, I dont see an issue for the users as a whole | 15:58 |
| Raidsong | charles nelson riley? | 15:58 |
| compiledkernel | the whole Ubuntu sucks because it has pay for services and products in it might be valid for some, but certainly not all | 15:58 |
| Raidsong | i might have to look into going more pure and install debian | 15:59 |
| compiledkernel | nothing wrong with using debian pure | 16:01 |
| Raidsong | Ubuntu looks like its going in a dangerous direction | 16:01 |
| Raidsong | it will hit the main stream and act as a lightning rod for users to flock to linux at the cost of its own credibility | 16:02 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: that is more than likely the intent | 16:02 |
| compiledkernel | and no matter how much I disagree with it | 16:03 |
| compiledkernel | it may push adoption forward | 16:03 |
| Raidsong | sacrifice Ubuntu for the greater good | 16:03 |
| Orion1 | May I have help with install of ATI drivers on 10.04 | 16:03 |
| compiledkernel | I wouldnt call it sacrifice necessarily | 16:03 |
| compiledkernel | Orion1: what is your specific issue? | 16:03 |
| Raidsong | compiledkernel, when an operating system breaks from the core ideas to go more mainstream i call it a sacrifice | 16:04 |
| Orion1 | Well when I try to run City of Heroes (with use of Wine) it comes to the slash screen then crashes | 16:05 |
| Orion1 | A friend said it was a video card issue | 16:06 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, what kind of computer is it? | 16:06 |
| Orion1 | Toshiba Satellite 215-S5849 | 16:07 |
| Orion1 | S5848 sorry | 16:07 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, have you tried system> administration > hardware drivers? | 16:07 |
| Orion1 | no | 16:07 |
| Raidsong | try that | 16:08 |
| compiledkernel | it may be more wine issue | 16:08 |
| Orion1 | I don't see that option | 16:08 |
| Raidsong | 3rd one down | 16:08 |
| Orion1 | It must be missing | 16:09 |
| Orion1 | I am new so I do apologize | 16:09 |
| Raidsong | its not there? | 16:09 |
| Raidsong | under administration? | 16:09 |
| Orion1 | no third one down is Language support | 16:09 |
| Raidsong | thats 4 down for me | 16:10 |
| Raidsong | thats weird | 16:10 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2980 | 16:10 |
| compiledkernel | winehq doesnt rate the game very well high on compatibility levels | 16:11 |
| Raidsong | compiledkernel, Will o' the Wisp or a Double Wookiee? | 16:11 |
| compiledkernel | I would venture to guess there would be issues , even if its not his videos card. | 16:11 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: Wail 'O The Banshee. | 16:11 |
| Orion1 | My buddy got it to work but he doesn't have my hardware | 16:11 |
| compiledkernel | just making sure all avenues are covered Orion1 | 16:12 |
| Orion1 | understood | 16:12 |
| Raidsong | compiledkernel, im more concerned by his lack of hardware drivers option | 16:12 |
| Raidsong | compiledkernel, you have that option right? | 16:12 |
| Raidsong | compiledkernel, dont have that option | 16:13 |
| Raidsong | im playing progress quest | 16:13 |
| compiledkernel | im looking through a VM atm Raidsong | 16:13 |
| Orion1 | wow I can't wait till I understand all of this | 16:14 |
| compiledkernel | lol | 16:14 |
| compiledkernel | Orion1: it takes years of practice | 16:14 |
| compiledkernel | and the generation of much frustration, I assure you | 16:14 |
| Orion1 | well I want to learn | 16:14 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, i felt the same way until i could then you feel a little unbalanced | 16:14 |
| compiledkernel | Raidsong: on my VM its actually 5 down from system | 16:15 |
| compiledkernel | not 3. | 16:15 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, try 5 down | 16:16 |
| Orion1 | I wish I could give you guys a screenshot | 16:16 |
| Raidsong | im a Will o' the wisp Robot Monk | 16:16 |
| Orion1 | that Network Tools | 16:17 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, and you downloaded this from the ubuntu website? | 16:17 |
| Orion1 | yes | 16:18 |
| Raidsong | is it the x86 or x64? | 16:18 |
| Orion1 | x86 | 16:18 |
| Raidsong | then i have no idea your copy is different from mine | 16:18 |
| Raidsong | lukjad86, you here? | 16:19 |
| Chesamo | orion1: Open Terminal and enter the command: jockey-gtk | 16:19 |
| Chesamo | orion1: That's the program they're looking for | 16:19 |
| Orion1 | it said its not installed | 16:20 |
| Orion1 | should I install as it says | 16:20 |
| Chesamo | orion1; sudo aptitude install jockey-gtk | 16:20 |
| Chesamo | orion1: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Jockey comes preinstalled in the standard distro. | 16:20 |
| Orion1 | 10.04 | 16:20 |
| Chesamo | orion1: I mean what derivative | 16:21 |
| Raidsong | Orion1, its not the beta or anything is it? | 16:21 |
| Orion1 | no | 16:21 |
| Orion1 | LTS | 16:21 |
| Chesamo | Orion: The base distribution? | 16:22 |
| Chesamo | Orion1* | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | I guess | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | I went to the web stie | 16:22 |
| hobgoblin | Orion1: ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu ? | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | Ubuntu | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | downloaded it | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | burned the image to a cd | 16:22 |
| Orion1 | and installed | 16:22 |
| Chesamo | Orion1: Open up Terminal and enter this command: sudo aptitude -y install jockey-gtk | 16:22 |
| Raidsong | interesting | 16:22 |
| Chesamo | (As a sidenote: I've migrated to aptitude from apt-get in my daily use... I don't know why, but I like it better. Something about Apt-get rubs me the wrong way.) | 16:23 |
| Chesamo | Orion1: Has it completed? | 16:25 |
| Chesamo | Hm. | 16:27 |

| ZachK_ | ah hey hobgoblin | 18:08 |
| hobgoblin | hey ZachK_ I thought that at the very least the logs for the wiki fg page would be readable lol | 18:09 |
| Raidsong | hey ZachK_ | 18:10 |
| ZachK_ | hey Raidsong long time no see | 18:11 |
| hobgoblin | a {{{ at the beginning and }}} at the end should make it easier to read - can't remember how to get logs to look right ... | 18:11 |
| Raidsong | yea been doin stuff | 18:11 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: how's you - very long time no see | 18:11 |
| Raidsong | i move into my dorm in 2 days | 18:11 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: oh crap thanks for that man...i didn't even know | 18:11 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 18:11 |
| hobgoblin | bad advertisment lmao | 18:11 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: busy times ahead I guess | 18:12 |
| Raidsong | oh i know im majoring in anthropology | 18:12 |
| pleia2 | hobgoblin: re: comment on blog - which one was you? :) | 18:12 |
| hobgoblin | really ? wow that is good Raidsong | 18:13 |
| hobgoblin | pleia2: piskie possibly - or elfy or something like that - but it wasn;t there when I looked - so Alastair Reynolds | 18:13 |
| === Guest49356 is now known as compiledkernel | ||
| * pleia2 couldn't find any of those | 18:14 | |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, you have an ever changing name | 18:14 |
| hobgoblin | Revelation Space - sci-fi space opera type thing - excellent read if you like detailed sci-fi | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | cool, thanks | 18:14 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: :) | 18:14 |
| Raidsong | i end up with too many questions when i watch sci-fi | 18:14 |
| hobgoblin | pleia2: they are books that I have read a few times - each time a little bit more comes alive :) | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | nice :) | 18:15 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: the idea is to :shrug: if it becomes too much :) | 18:15 |
| hobgoblin | pleia2: he's a scientist of some sort - atomic stuff I think - good reads | 18:15 |
| hobgoblin | compiledkernel: long time seeing you as well - how the devil are you old chap | 18:17 |
| compiledkernel | Spot on, ole bean. | 18:17 |
| hobgoblin | top hole | 18:18 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 18:18 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: i'm fixing the meeting log | 18:28 |
| hobgoblin | good chap :) | 18:28 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: yeah i guess that's why there is a "Preview" button eh? | 18:28 |
| ZachK_ | there should be a saying, "Never Wiki while drowsy!" | 18:29 |
| hobgoblin | pretty useful that one is :) | 18:29 |
| hobgoblin | or while driving | 18:29 |
| Raidsong | is the x64 version preferred over the x32? | 18:30 |
| Raidsong | err x86 | 18:31 |
| hobgoblin | I would on 64bit | 18:31 |
| Raidsong | does it really make a difference? | 18:31 |
| hobgoblin | I think the issues are a lot less prevalent than they used ot be | 18:31 |
| hobgoblin | depends I would say | 18:31 |
| Raidsong | depends on what? | 18:33 |
| hobgoblin | processor and memory :) If I was 64bit capabale I would install it - I might later revert - but I would rather see if it made any difference for myself | 18:35 |
| Raidsong | i think ill upgrade i have 4gig of ram and a nice peppy processor | 18:36 |
| pleia2 | also depends on how much proprietary software you use and whether there is a 64bit version | 18:37 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: but are you using 64-bit card | 18:37 |
| pleia2 | it's been mostly solved for all the popular things (flash, adobe reader) but there are apps out there still that don't have a 64-bit version (amazon's downloader for mp3s springs to mind) | 18:37 |
| Raidsong | ZachK_, i bought this computer 1 day ago so i hope so | 18:37 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: i'd check it | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | you can get 32-bit apps to run in 64-bit, but it's non-trivial (not *hard* exactly, just not clicky clicky simple) | 18:38 |
| Raidsong | dual core processor | 18:38 |
| pleia2 | that said, I'm making the 64-bit leap on my primary desktop this weekend | 18:39 |
| * pleia2 pets good ole pae kernel | 18:39 | |
| Raidsong | do they still make x86 processors? | 18:39 |
| hobgoblin | pleia2: this is true - but something I forget about the only prop software I use is flash etc and nvidia | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | hobgoblin: yeah, I don't use much myself but I do help folks install ubuntu pretty frequently and bump into this stuff :\ | 18:39 |
| Raidsong | i have to use a prop wifi driver | 18:39 |
| hobgoblin | pleia2: and amazon :( | 18:39 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 18:40 |
| ZachK_ | me too Raidsong | 18:41 |
| Raidsong | ZachK_, what brand is your comp? | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | Raidsong: I'd do some research on the prop wifi driver, it should be fine since hardware vendors tend to be ok at releasing for 64-bit, but you'll want to be sure :) | 18:41 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: dell | 18:41 |
| Raidsong | ZachK_, is yours an inspiron? | 18:41 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: Dell Hybrid | 18:42 |
| Raidsong | pleia2, if its not there ill just switch back | 18:42 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: it's the super small desktop | 18:42 |
| Raidsong | ZachK_, hows your job going? | 18:54 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: got fired... | 18:54 |
| Raidsong | that sucks | 18:54 |
| ZachK_ | Raidsong: yeah | 19:00 |

| Chesamo | tdn: Wired do, but not wireless | 20:35 |
| tdn | Chesamo, why is that? | 20:35 |
| tdn | Chesamo, why treat wireless differently? | 20:35 |
| Chesamo | tdn: I'm not a developer. I don't know. | 20:35 |
| tdn | OK. | 20:35 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Probably has to do with the way wireless authentication works. | 20:35 |
| tdn | I mean open wireless networks. The ones that does not need authentication. | 20:36 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Oh, I know. It's because wireless networks aren't handled by anything at the tty level. It's usually network-manager that does it, which is a GNOME interface. | 20:37 |
| shredder12 | tdn, I am not really sure about this, but the Network manager stores the information about wireless connections in one's home folder. So, this means it considers wireless connections separate for each user. May be that's why | 20:37 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Also, you can't automatically connect to an unknown wireless network. It's a security hazard | 20:37 |
| tdn | Chesamo, but shouldn't it be possible to configure the network to come up without network manager? And then have network manager take over, if a user logs in afterwards? | 20:37 |
| Chesamo | tdn: See shredder's comment. As far as I'm aware, Linux prevents the computer from connecting to any wireless networks before logging in. | 20:38 |
| tdn | shredder12, except that they are not separate for each user. If there if ONE wlan card in a box and it has a connection, then all users logged in has network. | 20:38 |
| Chesamo | tdn: That's because it's been configured (by that one user) | 20:39 |
| tdn | Chesamo, it is only a security hazard if I do not know what I am doing. | 20:39 |
| tdn | Chesamo, I am pretty sure that it is not linux (the kernel) that prevents this. | 20:39 |

| Chesamo | tdn: Connect to unknown, open, unencrypted wireless networks automatically? I have my doubts. | 20:39 |
| Chesamo | tdn: I know it's not the kernel, but it's the particular order that Linux starts things (which services before and after login) | 20:40 |
| Chesamo | tdn: one possibility would be to write a script to do what you're saying and have it run on boot | 20:40 |
| tdn | Chesamo, you mean Upstart? Or Sys.V or what do you mean? | 20:40 |
| shredder12 | tdn, yes indeed, but if there are multiple users on a system and only one has authorized access to some wireless network. Therefore, in order to prevent his authorization private and only connectivity only available to him, NM separates the data | 20:40 |
| tdn | Chesamo, that was exactly what I was thinking. | 20:41 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Sys.V?.... are you referring to UNIX System V? | 20:41 |
| tdn | Chesamo, yes, sys.v init. | 20:41 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Debian doesn't use run levels. | 20:42 |
| tdn | How do I set up wireless network to come up without network-manager? | 20:42 |
| Chesamo | tdn: ifconfig can handle wireless networks. | 20:42 |
| shredder12 | tdn, you may also try configuring the file /etc/network/interfaces file to connect to wireless networks. This will be done independent of network manager and might even solve your problem of connecting without logging in | 20:42 |
| tdn | Ok. So I can put the wireless NIC in /etc/network/interfaces, but this gives me two sub problems: 1) If I put the NIC in /etc/network/interfaces, then it disappears from network-manager, and so the users cannot connect to a different wlan, when they log in. 2) I know how to configure the wlan nic in /etc/network/interfaces to connect to a specific network (SSID), but not how to just automatically select ANY open wireless network. | 20:45 |
| tdn | Did the whole message get through? Last words were "ANY open wireless network." | 20:45 |
| Chesamo | tdn: Yes, we got it | 20:45 |
| tdn | How can I solve sub problems 1 and 2? | 20:46 |
| tdn | Chesamo, cool. | 20:46 |
| Chesamo | tdn: try using an ifconfig script instead | 20:46 |
| tdn | Chesamo, how would that go? | 20:46 |
| Chesamo | tdn: probably something along the lines of (in pseudocode): | 20:46 |
| Chesamo | tdn: 1. List all open wireless networks | 20:47 |
| tdn | Chesamo, do you mean iwconfig? | 20:47 |
| Chesamo | tdn: 2. use cat to skim off the top line | 20:47 |
| tdn | 1. can be done with iwlist wlan0 scan | 20:47 |
| Chesamo | tdn: The last time I configured a wireless network by hand was ub Ubuntu 7.04, so forgive me if my program names are a little outdated | 20:47 |
| tdn | No problem :) | 20:48 |
| Chesamo | 3. tee that first line into iwconfig as the SSID and connect | 20:48 |
| tdn | iwlist wlan0 scan |grep key:off -A2 |grep ESSID |cut -d':' -f2 | 20:49 |
| tdn | Gives a list of ESSIDs for open wlans. | 20:49 |
