| MrKlown_ | kinda confused on how to install sun java | 00:09 |
| MrKlown_ | i went to their website and downloaded the rpm file but it did nothing | 00:09 |
| bazhang | !java | MrKlown_ | 00:09 |
| ubottu | MrKlown_: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 00:09 |
| acerimmer_ | MrKlown_: ubuntu uses *deb files not rpm | 00:09 |
| eln1no | a51hq: gufw is firewall configuration gui tool | 00:09 |
| adamror | eln1no its cool, im going to look into buying a USB wireless device thingy to connect to wifi (: | 00:10 |
| MrKlown_ | ok that looks confusing lol | 00:10 |
| acerimmer_ | MrKlown_: smarter to install through synaptic | 00:10 |
| MrKlown_ | well ace i typed in sun java in synaptic and it was all confusing it displayed so many and even showed some ws installed | 00:10 |
| a51hq | eln1no its the firewall on my router im trying to change | 00:10 |
| eln1no | oh srry i didnt saw that | 00:10 |
| eln1no | lol | 00:10 |
| acerimmer_ | MrKlown_: what makes you think you DON'T have it? | 00:10 |
| MrKlown_ | well i didn't install it and i thought sun java was not open source so it was not included on the install cd? | 00:11 |
| Monotoko | how come my wpa_psk is 64 characters?? | 00:11 |
| eln1no | i dnt know im not expert for ruters and firewalls.. i just know some basic things for ubuntu os lol :) | 00:11 |
| Monotoko | wpa_supplicant will not accept it for that reason | 00:11 |

| Weems | how do I get smooth japanese fonts in ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| acerimmer_ | MrKlown_: given that synaptic states you have the java you need, unless you have a compelling reason to think othwerwise as evidenced by some system failure, I suggest you proceed as if you're OK | 00:12 |
| a51hq | eln1no np thanks for letting me know :) any one els here know about HTTPS on router | 00:12 |
| MrKlown_ | well there is no checkmark beside the java acer it just shows the ubuntu logo | 00:13 |
| bazhang | a51hq, a router? that has nothing to do with Ubuntu. try ##networking | 00:13 |
| acerimmer_ | MrKlown_: meaning that it's part of the standard ubuntu install. try selecting "reinstall" if you still have doubts | 00:13 |
| eln1no | a51hq: join channel: #networking | 00:14 |

| bazhang | justine777w, redhat? | 00:52 |

| DjDark | unrelated; i'm considering upgrading ubuntu from 8.04 to 10.04, yet when i tried to install from cd my monitor would go into standby. if i chose to use the text install, i shouldn't have a problem getting video when finished, right? | 00:54 |
| bazhang | LinuxGuy2009, use hardware drivers not from nvidia website | 00:54 |
| justine777w | bazhang: I do not understand. | 00:54 |
| cao | DjDark: ofc you will have a problem | 00:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | bazhang: Thats a personal preference. But doesnt answer my question. | 00:54 |
| cao | 1. it's ubuntu, nothing works as it should and 2. 10.04 is far away from usable. | 00:54 |
| cao | and no, no irony. | 00:55 |
| bazhang | LinuxGuy2009, no, its the supported method. using hardware drivers is the way to do it. | 00:55 |
| DjDark | it just makes sense that ver 10 should be more stable than 8... | 00:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | bazhang: You have no clue in other words. | 00:55 |
| cao | DjDark: no, wait at least for 10.04 update 1 | 00:56 |
| justine777w | bazhang: none of the links on that site you gave me work | 00:56 |
| bazhang | LinuxGuy2009, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu support. and no need for the tone. | 00:56 |

| ubottu | aperture: 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! | 01:15 |
| Aperture | My question: what is the general purpose of PHP? I want to make a server to connect to to chat with co-workers, so should I have PHP as a part of apache? | 01:15 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: ... um... how would i do that... | 01:16 |
| DjDark | dont see "startup apps" under system:prefs | 01:16 |
| tsimpson | Aperture: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more appropriate place to ask | 01:16 |
| Redache | cowguru2000: In System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects | 01:16 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: already disabled | 01:17 |
| Redache | cowguru2000: Have you got the proprietary drivers installed? | 01:17 |
| Redache | I don't think the Open Source Drivers have 3D support for the 5xxx series cards | 01:17 |
| DjDark | nvm. "sessions preferences" is what i needed ty | 01:17 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: i installed them off the ATI website | 01:17 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: it's called Catalyst i believe... i don't have the synaptic proprietary though | 01:18 |
| hmw | Aperture: PHP is for "server side scripting", try a web search, there are plenty of tutorials. People in #web will know more. | 01:18 |
| Aperture | alright. | 01:18 |
| Redache | cowguru2000: It's best to try and use the restricted drivers manager as they are officially supported drivers for Ubuntu | 01:18 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: although, when i went to Hardware Drivers administration, it says the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is enabled and "working" | 01:18 |
| Aperture | I planned to use "Guppy", and it wants me to 'connect to a network'...would I just set up an apache web server on my old computer and connect via there? How would I go about that? | 01:19 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: so i have both installed... ??? | 01:19 |
| Redache | cowguru2000: Try disabling the drivers in hardware drivers | 01:19 |
| Redache | and restart and see if that makes a difference | 01:19 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: i'm trying that, i'll be back after reboot | 01:20 |
| Out_Cold | so how does one check HDD integrity with no file system? | 01:20 |
| cowguru2000 | redache: if of course it still doesn't work :D | 01:20 |
| kzman | how can I change the groups (users is a group)? | 01:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kzman: System->Admin->Users & Groups | 01:20 |
| Out_Cold | kzman, there is a groups file located in /etc/groups | 01:20 |

| tsimpson | Aperture: I don't know about that app, but https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/web-servers.html is a guide to setting up a web server, including php | 01:21 |
| DjDark | !emerald | 01:21 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 01:21 |
| DjDark | hmm | 01:21 |
| Aperture | tsimpson: I was following this guide, is it ok? http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies | 01:21 |
| DjDark | !lamp | 01:22 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:22 |

| DjDark | what's mysql good for besides running sam broadcaster | 01:23 |
| radicaljoe | How would you back out of 10.04 to 9.10 | 01:23 |
| tsimpson | Aperture: except for the part where the guide says "sudo gedit", which should be "gksudo gedit", it should work | 01:23 |
| radicaljoe | 10.04 seems to be very beta | 01:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Aperture: Netbook edition is the same ubuntu core with a few packages running on top of it. | 01:23 |
| Redache | radicaljoe: o | 01:24 |
| Aperture | tsimpson: so noted | 01:24 |
| bazhang | radicaljoe, full reinstall | 01:24 |
| Aperture | LinuxGuy2009: so I can use netbook edition instead of server edition, correct? | 01:24 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | radicaljoe: Does that mean you need help? | 01:24 |
| Redache | radicaljoe: You'd have to reinstall 9.10 as there is a method to downgrade packages but it's not safe way to do things | 01:24 |
| radicaljoe | bazhang:I can do that. Uggg | 01:24 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Aperture: You can run any app in the ubuntu repos on any flavor of ubuntu. | 01:24 |
| Aperture | Sounds good. Thank you. | 01:25 |
| DjDark | ubuntu 8.04 vs. 9.10 ? | 01:26 |
| NimbleRabit | Does anybody here have vdpau/mplayer working in Lucid 10.4? There's no mplayer in the 10.4 nvidia-vdpau repositories, and I get a bad dependency when I use the Karmic ones. | 01:26 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: Can you be specific with your question? | 01:26 |
| MikeChelen | !best | DjDark | 01:26 |
| ubottu | DjDark: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:26 |

| DjDark | any known issue with 10.04 and intel 865gv chipset? | 01:33 |
| cowguru2000 | Redache: i'm back! i rebooted and the graphics look great. However, before I could log in, Ubuntu notified me that it was running in "low graphics mode." I'm fairly certain that the Catalyst proprietary driver IS working, by the absence of window "stuttering." Now, how do I convince Ubuntu that it's running in full graphics mode, and that it shouldn't give me that prompt every time? | 01:33 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: You could search LaunchPad.net for it and try and see or download the live CD and try before you install. | 01:33 |
| Aperture | So what is my real ip address to be using for MySQL? The one on whatismyip.com, or the one on the ifconfig in the wlan0 section? | 01:34 |

| drake2k | test | 01:34 |
| DjDark | tried already but had the problem where the monitor goes to standby when trying to load live | 01:34 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kbar: Do you have a network manager installed? | 01:34 |
| kbar | you mean the nm applet? | 01:35 |
| DjDark | so i'll try with the alt install cd | 01:35 |
| Redache | cowguru2000: I'm not sure, If it's not breaking anything then you might have to just live with it. Sorry I can't be more help | 01:35 |
| cowguru2000 | Redache: that's alright, thanks!! you were a huge help | 01:35 |
| cowguru2000 | Hi all, how do I convince Ubuntu that it's running in standard graphics mode? It tells me I'm running in "low graphics mode" but the graphics look fine. | 01:35 |
| kbar | LinuxGuy2009, do you mean the nm applet mentioned inhttp://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Nm-applet? | 01:35 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: If the live CD doesnt work then you may not have the minimum requirements or there may be an issue for your hardware, | 01:35 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 when you start ubuntu, are you starting it while it's connected to the monitor and the monitor is turned on? | 01:36 |
| PlasmaSheep | I have a logitech mx5500 keyboard. I have a dongle for this keyboard which is attached to my computer via usb. For the past few weeks using 10.04, all has worked well. However, in order to properly pair the keyboard with the computer now, I must remove the dongle from the port and manually pair them. The mouse works fine, however. | 01:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kbar: Well there are others, thats the default for gnome. | 01:36 |
| cowguru2000 | drake2k:.... yes... | 01:36 |
| DjDark | LinuxGuy2009: noted and thanks. i'll attempt install on my spare partition first :D | 01:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: Very good. Good luck with that. | 01:37 |
| kbar | LinuxGuy2009, I followed the wiki for that, and still getting nothing | 01:37 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 I had to ask because I was running a server from ubuntu desktop and would have the problem if I rebooted without hooking up the monitor. Now I just runt he server edition so don't have to worry about it. As to your issue, I'm not sure there. Does it do the same thing when (if tested) you boot from a live cd? | 01:37 |
| FyreFoX | Will this get fixed in lucid or will I have to wait for the next one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compizconfig-settings-manager/+bug/146736 | 01:38 |

| kbar | LinuxGuy2009, Im using just awesome | 01:38 |
| kbar | well right now I'm on gnome to talk to you, but when I boot into awesome I boot into pure awesome | 01:38 |
| drake2k | Anyone familiar with samba sharing? | 01:39 |
| GSF1200S | anyone know how to make a drive run in the background instead of stop the boot process? Root and /home im cool with waiting on, but my backup drive stops the boot process | 01:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kbar: Ok your probably gonna wanna checkout how to start networking with that cause Ive never used it. I know there are some network things like the gnome network manager for use with other environments and stuff. | 01:39 |
| cowguru2000 | drake2k:... X just restarted. | 01:40 |
| cowguru2000 | drake2k: that's why I got kicked off. there are issues heh | 01:40 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 no worries | 01:40 |
| kbar | LinuxGuy2009, what do you use? | 01:40 |
| cowguru2000 | drake2k: do you think x restarted because it detected my driver? | 01:40 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kbar: Gnome mostly but when I want a lean machine, fluxbox is nice. | 01:41 |

| GSF1200S | know | 01:41 |
| GSF1200S | no* | 01:41 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kbar: Maybe give LXDE a try, its very light and very fast? | 01:41 |

| GSF1200S | give wicd a try- it can be run from a curses interface | 01:42 |
| GSF1200S | kbar^ | 01:42 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 Honestly not sure. It doesn't seem like it should just restart on it's own without a warning even if it detected something new. | 01:42 |

| cowguru2000 | drake2k: hmmmmmmm alright well thanks for trying | 01:42 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 I'm not sure if you answered this or not since there was a bit of scroll before you d/c. Have you tried it from a live cd? | 01:42 |
| cowguru2000 | drake2k: no, i was too lazy before but now i will | 01:43 |
| drake2k | cowguru2000 that would at least rule out hardware issue if it works fine. | 01:43 |

| ubottu | Astroe: 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! | 01:49 |
| cao | Chakan95: nvidia pkg | 01:49 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, Hi :) What do you need? | 01:49 |
| drake2k | ...and welcome to linux. :) | 01:49 |
| Chakan95 | I need a package now for it to work? I installed the driver... | 01:49 |
| Ken1 | I had my /etc/network/interfaces working fine until I rebooted. On reboot, the server wouldn't start because of an error in my configuration. I've managed to log in using a live CD, mount the LVM, edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, get my server right back up and running again. Now it doesn't seem to be connecting to the network at all. | 01:50 |
| Astroe | I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in a new partition. Now I want to delete the windows partition without screwing up the boot. Can I do that/ | 01:50 |
| Sk_Lg | how do I change the keyboard device used during bios? Every since installing a razer naga mouse, the computer only responds to the number pad functions found on the mouse (side buttons 1-12), however the keyboard does not have any input. How can I change this? | 01:50 |
| drake2k | Once you said LVM I was lost... :( | 01:50 |
| Chakan95 | I already have nvidia-current installed... | 01:51 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | mr_bag: Try setting them both to lower resolutions and see if they keep the same. Maybe its a lack of enough video memory or something if the resolutions are too high. Depends on the video card too. | 01:51 |
| acerimmer_ | Astroe: is ubuntu dual booting or wubi booting? | 01:51 |
| Ken1 | That bit isn't too important, drake2k - It's setting up the right interfaces file that won't stop my server booting on restart but will let me connect to the network/internet | 01:51 |
| Astroe | acerimmer_: Dual booting with windows 7 | 01:51 |
| Chakan95 | Grr...I am never going to get my resolution fixed lol | 01:51 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, You'll need to boot from the Live CD and then use GParted | 01:52 |
| hiexpo | LinuxGuy2009, - how it goes ? | 01:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Sk_Lg: Could be an issue with hardware that only has proprietary OS drivers only and hardware may not have extra button functionality. Just a guess. | 01:52 |
| drake2k | Ken1 maybe you could post the lines in question from your interfaces to see if maybe myself or someone can spot something. | 01:52 |
| cao | Chakan95: no, thought you had installed the driver from nvidia.com | 01:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | hiexpo: Hi there! | 01:53 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: Won't that mess up how it boots up? I read that windows does the booting since it was installed first.. | 01:53 |
| sanjay | hello sir, how to intsall fonts on ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| acerimmer_ | sanjay: use synaptic or software center | 01:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sanjay: Are you running 10.04? | 01:53 |
| felon | ARGGG! | 01:53 |
| Chakan95 | I did everything the same way I had for the previous Ubuntu version and I was able to 1,400x900 resolution just fine back then | 01:53 |
| cao | sanjay: or .fonts should work | 01:53 |
| sanjay | LinuxGuy2009:Yes Sir | 01:53 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, Are you using just GRUB? or the windows bootloader starts grub first? | 01:53 |
| hiexpo | LinuxGuy2009, - downloading debian wow what a big download 20 gigs total | 01:53 |
| felon | shiver me timbers | 01:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sanjay: Have a look in the software center there is a fonts category. ;) | 01:54 |
| DjDark | ok, in preferences - sound, i have "Sound Capture: USB Audio" | 01:54 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: The windows bootloader runs grub. | 01:54 |
| sanjay | acerimmer_:lol..gudmorning..thank u sir | 01:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: Is it working? | 01:54 |
| DjDark | not working with audacity either | 01:54 |
| Ken1 | Excluding comments, my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like: | 01:54 |
| Ken1 | auto lo | 01:54 |

| drake2k | Question: Samba is installed, running, no problems. USB terabyte is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0 in my fstab. Changes to my smb.conf have allowed me to be able to share that drive all over my network. Great, Perfect. So now what I want to do is limit this. I don't want ALL the directorys on the root of sdb1 to be viewable. I only want three directories. Music, Videos, Storage. The rest of it needs to hide away. Any | 01:55 |
| drake2k | suggestions? | 01:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: Did you check to see if the volume mixer needs to have the gain adjusted for the mic? Not sure if audacity needs that set or not, | 01:55 |
| mr_bag | LinuxGuy2009: Hmm, could be somthing do do with that "/ am i right in assuming the recommeded gfx driver in the hardware manger bit is the latest as it lacks a version no? (wondering if switching between them would help) | 01:55 |
| Sk_Lg | LinuxGuy2009: Thank you, i'll check in the bios/then both OS | 01:55 |
| sanjay | thanks to all... its working!!! thank u so much..I am very new to ubuntu.. so please expect moe disturbances to all of u!!! | 01:55 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, you could delete windows with gparted, resize the partition, and just in case, reinstall grub | 01:56 |
| Ken1 | There is an advanced Smbconf tool, Drake2k | 01:56 |
| drake2k | great job sanjay. :) | 01:56 |
| drake2k | I forgot to mention I'm using Ubuntu server, no GUI. :) | 01:56 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | mr_bag: I would use whichever one is stated as recomended for starters and go from there. | 01:56 |
| Ken1 | If i'm correct, Drake2k, I think you can set specific directories for.. | 01:56 |
| Ken1 | Oh. | 01:56 |
| drake2k | hehe | 01:56 |
| DjDark | usb device isnt an option under audacity's prefs... | 01:56 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k Try using webmin - I'm a big fan. Unfortunately, Samba doesn't play nice with the 10.04 server. | 01:57 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: See, that sounds like it might work. But I don't know how to install Grub | 01:57 |
| Ken1 | 10.04 seems to have taken a few steps forward and a few backwards. | 01:57 |
| Chakan95 | Yes, it has messed up resolution detection | 01:57 |
| Chakan95 | All the others did it automatically | 01:57 |
| drake2k | Ken1 ooh...webmin.... I totally forgot about that. Is it auto-installed with Samba or do I need to apt-get that separately? | 01:57 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, neither do I, but let's check what google says :D | 01:57 |
| Ken1 | You need to install it, unfortunately. | 01:57 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: May not be a suported peice of hardware possibly. Not sure. | 01:57 |
| Astroe | NinoScript, lol sounds like a plan | 01:57 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | DjDark: I wonder if its class compliant. | 01:58 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k you need to install it - but be careful if you're using the latest 10.04 server because there are some minor issues. | 01:58 |
| durt | !webmin | Ken1 | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Ken1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 01:58 |
| drake2k | Ken1 you've pointed me in a great direction. Tyvm. now...about that interfaces issue.... :) | 01:58 |
| Gyro54 | Any suggestions on compiling error http://paste.ubuntu.com/441135/ | 01:58 |
| DjDark | niot that i can get IDJC or sam broadcaster to connect to my servers anyways | 01:58 |
| drake2k | Ken1 did you get that message from floodbot about paste.ubuntu.com? | 01:58 |
| Ken1 | Thank you for that, durt. that's good to know. Drake2, see the comment from ubottu. Maybe try !ebox instead? | 01:58 |

| drake2k | chatter is confusing to me, I gotta keep my eyes out for the red letters. :) Ken1 ubottu | 02:00 |
| Ken1 | Julian_ maybe try using the software centre to install IRSSI. | 02:00 |
| durt | DjDark, passibly if you're using it though wine. | 02:00 |

| julian_ | Ken1, I don't see it there. I read somewhere that it was already supposed to be installed w/ Ubuntu | 02:02 |
| mdg | julian_: what are trying to install? | 02:02 |
| Ken1 | mdg: He's trying to install IRSSI | 02:02 |
| julian_ | irssi for internet relay chat in command line | 02:02 |
| durt | DjDark, we'll for one there is no malware for linux that I am aware of, and if you don't mount the windows drive there should be no problem | 02:02 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, wait… you have data on your windows partition? if it's like that, you won't want to remove the partition with gparted :O | 02:02 |
| mdg | if he can get to a terminal just type "sudo apt-get install irssi" and give password | 02:02 |
| Ken1 | julian_: Not sure if it's any help but.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi | 02:02 |
| Ken1 | julian_: You may also have tried this, but did you open up the terminal and type "Irssi" to see what happens? | 02:03 |
| Gyro54 | any ideas on this error during compiling - /home/kevin/sierra/sierra_net.c:1477: error: ‘FLAG_WWAN’ undeclared here (not in a function) | 02:03 |
| mdg | julian_: you know how to irssi? | 02:03 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: I transferred all the important stuff over to Ubuntu already. | 02:03 |
| julian_ | Yes Ken1, it doesn't recognize irssi | 02:04 |
| Zeike | julian_: do 'sudo apt-get install irssi' | 02:04 |
| mdg | julian_: sudo apt-get install irssi | 02:04 |
| dovanchinh | hi | 02:04 |
| dovanchinh | xin chao | 02:04 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: Now I just need to delete the Windows partiton so I can use my whole drive for ubuntu | 02:04 |
| dovanchinh | co ai ko | 02:04 |
| durt | DjDark, also if you stick to only software from the offical repositories you should be double safe | 02:04 |
| cao | st f u | 02:04 |
| Ken1 | julian_: If sudo apt-get install Irssi isn't working maybe you should check that you're connecting to the right repositories. | 02:04 |
| julian_ | I tried that and it says package irssi is not available. | 02:04 |
| Capcap | anyone know how to get a wacom bamboo working? | 02:05 |
| mdg | julian_: what version of ubuntu have you installed? 10.04? | 02:05 |
| Ken1 | I tried it on my own just now, 10.04 - Ubuntu Desktop. It installed fine. | 02:05 |
| mdg | julian_: are you chatting to us on the same computer you are trying to install irssi on? | 02:06 |
| dovanchinh | hi all | 02:06 |
| julian_ | yes mdg | 02:06 |
| Ken1 | julian_:I tried it on my own just now, 10.04 - Ubuntu Desktop. It installed fine. - (Apologies for the repetition, I really need to learn IRC etiquette) | 02:06 |
| julian_ | What repositories should I look into? | 02:06 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, just an idea: fresh install on the windows partition, so it automatically fixes bootloader stuff, and correctly installs grub, then move stuff, delete old linux partition, merge | 02:06 |
| julian_ | Hmm... | 02:06 |
| mdg | julian_: was your root password recognized when you used "sudo apt-get install irssi" | 02:06 |
| Ken1 | julian_: Ubuntu Main as far as I understand it. | 02:06 |
| NinoScript | Astroe, I think it would take more time, but less effort | 02:07 |
| Capcap | anyone know how to get a wacom bamboo working in karmic? | 02:07 |
| julian_ | Yes, I've added a repository, lets see if that works | 02:07 |
| Zeike | julian_: you shouldn't have to do that | 02:07 |
| Astroe | NinoScript: Ugh, that sound like a lot of work. I've already migrated all the files. It took three hours. I think I'm just gonna try reinstalling the grub from the live CD. I'll let ya know how it goes :p | 02:07 |
| julian_ | That's what I thought Zeike. | 02:07 |
| durt | julian_, 'irssi' is all lower case. | 02:08 |
| Ken1 | Can anyone check to see if my /etc/network/interfaces has any problems - after a restart my server wouldn't boot, I edited it to match the following and managed to boot again but now I can't seem to get connected to the network: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441143/ | 02:08 |
| mdg | julian_: are you the administrator? Maybe you need to change privileges for installing ? | 02:08 |
| julian_ | yeah, i did notice the "Canonical-supported Open source" wasn't checked. I checked it and that seemed to work. | 02:09 |
| ElementalWarrior | hey if I install UBUNTU ONTo a second drive will it affect the mbr or the boot loader of the my windows drive? | 02:09 |
| brandon__ | how can i bridge my wirless network to my wired network (ex. I have a laptop which can recieve wifi trying to give the internet to a desktop wired only) | 02:09 |

| Ken1 | !interfaces | ken1 | 02:09 |
| mdg | brandon__: I think you will need a cable from the laptop to the desktop as it sounds like the desktop has no wifi adapter, or buy a USB adapter | 02:10 |
| ElementalWarrior | Capcap does wacom have any drivers for linux? | 02:10 |

| Ken1 | I didn't include a Gateway address. Of course it's not going to connect. | 02:12 |
| ElementalWarrior | you find out most of the time they;re retardedly simple, that you overlooked | 02:12 |
| Capcap | ElementalWarrior: yes, there are some in synaptic but they didnt do anything, and i found one from their site (linked to sourceforge) but i cant figure out the instructions. im not a programmer, im not good with the terminal, i just want my tablet to work | 02:12 |
| Ken1 | I.. I'm surprised I can even feed myself. | 02:12 |
| ElementalWarrior | send me a link | 02:12 |

| Ken1 | This day is conspiring against me. | 02:19 |
| mdg | Ken1: no luck? | 02:19 |
| ElementalWarrior | Guest I seriously doubt it, linux has a totally different filesystem and binary structure lol | 02:19 |
| Ken1 | Unfortunately not, mgd. I've added in the gateway and it's reacting differently but I can't connect - I can't ping google, for example. | 02:20 |
| ElementalWarrior | well Capcap I can't compile that either, so try to look for an already built version | 02:20 |
| Ken1 | mgd: I'm going to try remaking the entire file and hope for the best. | 02:20 |
| mdg | Ken1: firewall? | 02:20 |
| Capcap | i dont know what to look for... | 02:20 |
| chuxxsss | anyone no if I can look at hidden files on my iphone in 10.04 | 02:21 |
| Capcap | but ok thanks for trying | 02:21 |
| Ken1 | mgd: That's what i'm thinking although I had it working before. | 02:21 |
| mdg | Ken1: are you on wifi or ethernet? | 02:21 |
| ElementalWarrior | hey capcap found this | 02:21 |
| ElementalWarrior | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver | 02:21 |
| ElementalWarrior | I think that should do you | 02:21 |
| Ken1 | mgd: Ethernet for my server. Wireless on this laptop right now, though. | 02:21 |
| Guest22775 | also what do you think i have a nasty windows drive that kills bios, vid cards ets norton cant fig out. i think is a one of a kind if i hot plug it into linex think its safe | 02:22 |
| ElementalWarrior | Ken1 if you try to get a server from wireless that wount work so well for file transfers lol | 02:22 |
| mdg | Ken1: maybe check if the cable is all the way plugged in again | 02:22 |
| Ken1 | mdg: If the cable isn't plugged in, I'm throwing myself out the window. Unfortunately i'm in a 1 story so it won't do too much damage but it's the thought that counts. | 02:23 |

| adamror | grrr... people please help, i've tryed everything but im still having issues with my wireless internet | 02:24 |
| Ken1 | ElementalWarrior: I'll be keeping it Wired. It's close enough to the router that I wouldn't need to switch. | 02:24 |
| mdg | adamror: what issues? | 02:24 |
| adamror | My wireless card keeps disconnecting and my internet speed is really slow | 02:24 |
| Capcap | im trying it. thank you ElementalWarrior | 02:24 |
| mdg | adamror: what kind of card? | 02:25 |
| ElementalWarrior | np | 02:25 |
| adamror | Hes -> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter | 02:25 |
| mdg | anyone else here have AR5001? can help adamror | 02:26 |
| mdg | adamror: need to find our what driver that card needs | 02:26 |
| adamror | mdg, How would I go about doing that? (: | 02:27 |
| mdg | adamror: is pcmcia or USB? | 02:27 |
| Docteh | PCI i thought | 02:27 |
| adamror | um... its built into the laptop ? | 02:27 |
| ElementalWarrior | so can anyone tell me if I install ubuntu with grub on my second hard drive in my laptop will it affect my bootup process? | 02:28 |
| mdg | adamror: okay then its pci | 02:28 |
| chuxxsss | anyone know, if I can look at hidden files on my iphone in 10.04. | 02:28 |
| Capcap | ElementalWarrior: still not working | 02:28 |
| Capcap | thanks tho | 02:28 |
| ElementalWarrior | hmm | 02:28 |
| adamror | mdg, yeah PCI (: | 02:28 |
| Ken1 | ElementalWarrior: I'm actually not sure. Doesn't GRUB need to be installed on the primary Hard Drive to work? | 02:28 |
| mdg | adamror: in a terminal type "lspci -v" (without quotes) | 02:28 |
| ElementalWarrior | what happened when you tried that? | 02:28 |
| Aperture | wow...all this time I was setting up a LAMP server in netbook remix, when all I needed was a program called "sobby"... | 02:29 |
| Aperture | *sigh* | 02:29 |
| Docteh | ElementalWarrior: whats on the first hard drive | 02:29 |
| Capcap | it went through the process successfully but the tablet still wont work | 02:29 |
| adamror | mdg, ok done (: | 02:29 |
| ElementalWarrior | umm Docteh win7 | 02:29 |
| mdg | adamror: what did the entry for your wireless adapter say? | 02:29 |
| ElementalWarrior | Capcap restart ubuntu? | 02:29 |
| Capcap | ok | 02:29 |
| Docteh | Aperture: whats sobby? | 02:29 |

| wranger09 | i wish to play manhunt on ubuntu ,i have wine-doors why won't it work | 02:32 |
| Ken1 | AnxiousNut: There is, kind of, but it won't behave properly with the notifications that they do with Empathy or Pidgin. | 02:32 |
| mdg | adamror: type "lsmod" and you will get a listing of all the modules loaded - you need to look for atheros and see what adapter it is using now | 02:32 |

| adamror | ok thanks! | 02:42 |
| adamror | I shall try it and get back to you (: | 02:42 |
| mdg | thanks Docteh :) | 02:42 |
| CaptainTrek | Patric4: no its not, you'd be looking for the Desktop edition not the server edition | 02:42 |
| Ken1 | Patric4: 10.04 Desktop is more suitable for a Desktop OS to be honest, although I don't see why not. | 02:42 |
| Ken1 | Patric4: You'd just have to go to all the effort of constantly installing stuff as you realise you need it. | 02:42 |
| Patric4 | Was wondering whether it's just missing packages - 5 years of support sounds great | 02:42 |
| Docteh | adamror: you might have to enable backports in the software sources | 02:42 |
| Docteh | Patric4: same repository | 02:43 |
| rzx237 | kbar: View > Show Menubar | 02:43 |
| adamror | Docteh im kinda a noob, how do you enable backports? | 02:43 |
| Ken1 | patric4: It's "missing" a lot of packages, it has no GUI or desktop environment by default, it's all command line. | 02:43 |
| Docteh | Patric4: run tasksel | 02:43 |
| Patric4 | Does this mean that the Desktop edition is effectively supported for 6 years ? | 02:43 |
| Ken1 | adamror: It should be in your Software Sorces, I think. | 02:43 |
| Patric4 | doh - I mean 5 years | 02:43 |
| kbar | rzx237, yeah I know but it checks every time I open a new instance of terminal, I want it to be unchecked every single time | 02:43 |
| Docteh | Patric4: the desktop packages like firefox wouldn't be supported i suspect | 02:43 |
| xangua | Patric4: lts desktop 3 years, server 5 | 02:44 |

| Ken1 | Patric4: You could do. It's not worth it to be honest, though. It's more trouble than it's worth. Isn't the Desktop version LTS this time around anyhow? | 02:45 |
| Patric4 | Really just desktop but wanted to take advantage of 5 years of support | 02:45 |
| Ken1 | Adamror: Sorry, I'm not sure what the start of your question was. What is it you're trying to do? Enable a specific repository or add a new one? | 02:46 |

| Patric4 | Right - I think I'll just go for desktop - should be happy enough with 3 years of support. (I loved how XP was effectively 10 years of support!) | 02:46 |
| xangua | Patric4: then download the desktop version, LTS's version are released every 2 years | 02:46 |
| mado | because i don't know what to think about it ... it looks like it's not i'd recommend buying ... what do YOU say? | 02:47 |
| adamror | ken1, im trying to enable backports, how do I do this in software sources? | 02:47 |
| bazhang | mado, for running ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| Docteh | Patric4: you've got me curious now as to what they mean about support | 02:47 |
| Izinucs | What's the kde version of audacity.. (not audacity recompiled) but a similar program | 02:47 |
| mado | well ... yes ... that too bazhang ... | 02:47 |
| nothingnow | why when i go to clear my cache memory do i get premission denied... i am running sudo sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 02:47 |
| bazhang | mado, or something else | 02:47 |
| Ken1 | adamror: Aah, sorry. Click on the "Updates" tab and select "Unsupported Updates" - that'll enable the backports. | 02:47 |
| Patric4 | Docteh: Yeah, that's what I was wondering. If you "convert" a server install, can you get away with 5 years of support (I don't like change!) | 02:47 |
| Docteh | nothingnow: the echo runs as sudo, but the > isn't, echo 3 > tee file | 02:48 |
| EvaZq | any acer 4736z user ? | 02:48 |
| Docteh | echo 3 > sudo tee file i mean | 02:48 |
| Patric4 | Docteh: Well I do like change, but like to minimise reinstalls etc. It's a bit like shifting house :-) | 02:48 |
| drake2k | i love putty | 02:48 |
| unknown | I've started to love a "konsole" ; | 02:49 |
| mado | well bazhang ... one of my friends thought about buying this computer ... but i think it has little RAM for e.g. Windows 7 ... she should have at least the double of what's inside this computer ... and yes ... i thought about installing ubuntu on it too | 02:49 |
| Ken1 | Adamror: And on the "Ubuntu Software" tab, you can check most of those boxes to enable more repositories. Just remember to be careful if you're ever adding New repositories via the "Other Software" - "Add";make sure you trust them before adding. | 02:49 |
| nothingnow | Docteh: so i need to add a sudo after >? | 02:49 |
| cao | mado: old, shit and overpriced | 02:49 |
| Docteh | Patric4: well theres nothing stopping you from using it after its supported, converting a server install will actually not do anything different from just installing the desktop | 02:49 |
| bazhang | mado, seems like a good place to discuss would be #ubuntu-offtopic, for general chat; there is also ##hardware , unless its strictly Ubuntu support issue | 02:50 |
| mado | so you also say she should buy something else cao ? | 02:50 |
| Docteh | nothingnow: i've never actually done it which is why im having trouble with the syntax | 02:50 |
| adamror | Ken1, Thanks after I enable unsupported updates should I run the update manager? | 02:50 |
| Ken1 | unknown: Love is such a complex thing, Unknown. If you love a Konsole and are happy, so long as it hurts no one you should go for it. | 02:50 |
| cao | at least i would buy something else | 02:50 |
| Docteh | echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/somewhere | 02:50 |
| drake2k | Ken1 you're still here, I thought you were going to sleep. lol | 02:50 |
| === horndog_ is now known as horndog | ||
| mdg | adamror: yes | 02:50 |
| adamror | Thanks! | 02:50 |
| Nozy | ok does some unknow how to unlink a hot key in Evolution Mail not sure why but x ( and just x is send ) | 02:50 |
| Docteh | nothingnow: tell me if this works: echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/somewhere | 02:50 |
| mado | bazhang: / cao ... can we discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic then? ... or somewhere in a private window? | 02:50 |
| Ken1 | adamror: You should be able to just close it. Then if you open software sources or synaptic, be sure to reload to get the new list of software. | 02:50 |
| nothingnow | Docteh: will do | 02:51 |
| Nozy | oh sorry hi all | 02:51 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: I got a little distracted. I'm pretty much a noob, but there were a few questions I could answer. Give back to the community and all that. | 02:51 |
| unknown | Ken1, actually I preffer Gnome... but there are few things for me what unfortunately cannot be done in that environment... | 02:51 |
| drake2k | Ken1 Totally understand. Me too. | 02:51 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: And I still haven't quite managed to get the networking going on my server. I have no idea what I changed now. | 02:51 |
| nothingnow | Docteh: ben@logic:~$ echo 3 | sudo tree /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 02:52 |
| nothingnow | sudo: tree: command not found | 02:52 |
| unknown | btw... I'm still using gnome... but with "konsole" from kde... :/ | 02:52 |
| drake2k | Ken1 did you get chance to paste it in that website? | 02:52 |
| starghost | Yeah I love KDE, Gnome is a bit simple feature wise. But then again I have this ubtuntu box with gnome all decked out the way I like ;p | 02:52 |
| Docteh | Patric4: basically you can update your installation up until the point where they remove lucid from the mirrors, and server and desktop pull from the same place | 02:52 |
| Docteh | nothingnow: tee not tree | 02:52 |
| Gaming4JC | Just ran across a nasty graphics bug in ubuntu. It seems to fix itself after logging in and out. Any ideas what it could be? Pic: http://digitalpioneer.no-ip.org/Screenshot.png | 02:52 |
| Gaming4JC | I tried killing compiz and all the desktop effects, no luck. :( | 02:53 |
| drake2k | I never understood why the preference between Consoles. They all look white text on black background to me. | 02:53 |
| Patric4 | Docteh: Thanks for this. Does this mean that the core lucid repo is maintained for 5 years in both desktop and server editions ? | 02:53 |
| Docteh | Gaming4JC: do you use the vt's? | 02:53 |
| adamror | OMG!!! it fixed it!!!!!!!!!!! | 02:53 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: I did. I found my initial problem - I forgot to add the gateway. Embarrassing. I'm not quite sure what's going wrong right now but I'm a little too tired to work it out to be honest. And the painkillers are kicking in. I broke my neck two weeks ago so I have plenty of spare time to play with these things. | 02:53 |
| Gaming4JC | vt's?... | 02:53 |
| Ken1 | adamror: Excellent! All working? | 02:53 |
| Docteh | ctrl+alt+f1 | 02:53 |
| Docteh | ctrl+alt+f7 to get back if you're going to press it | 02:54 |
| adamror | OMG! You guys are amazing... words can't explain it!! | 02:54 |
| starghost | XD | 02:54 |
| drake2k | Ken1 sorry to hear that. Ouch. I did accidentally put my own pc as the gateway once (about 5 hours ago) so yeah, it happens. | 02:54 |
| Ken1 | adamror: Haha. Glad everything is sorted. | 02:54 |
| Gaming4JC | Docteh: Ah right, virtual terminals. I don't use this as much as I should. Still it doesn't resolve my issue that the bug keeps coming back. :P | 02:54 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Yeah, it sounds more extreme than it is. I'm pretty much stumped but i'm sure i'll figure it all out soon. | 02:54 |
| starghost | eww that is one nasty graphics glitch | 02:54 |
| Gaming4JC | I know. :( | 02:55 |
| drake2k | Ken1 when in doubt, re-install and start from scratch. hehe | 02:55 |
| Patric4 | Ken1: Ouch! Best wishes for recovery | 02:55 |
| Ken1 | Gaming4JC: Did you have a shaky hand when you took that photo? It looks blurry. | 02:55 |
| Docteh | Patric4: the files will be there, but probably no patches to the desktop apps | 02:55 |
| Patric4 | DOcteh: Thanks :-) | 02:55 |
| Gaming4JC | Ken1: Nope, lol. The screen just looks poor. | 02:55 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k: That's pretty much what i'm thinking - reinstall all the way. I was quite proud of myself that I got FTP working today. | 02:56 |
| unknown | btw. guys I wounder if its possible in 10.04 to do something what was a standard i 9.10.... I realy like Nautilus but it was nice to see the icon to swich to "type destination" instead of just "clicking" it... is it possible somehow to do this ?? | 02:56 |
| Ken1 | patric4: Thanks very much, Patric4. It sounds worse than it is. Two broken vertebrae. | 02:56 |
| drake2k | Ken1 Do you use the ubuntu desktop or server? | 02:56 |
| Ken1 | unknown: Hit CTRL+L on the keyboard. | 02:56 |
| Docteh | Gaming4JC: fire up xeyes and/or xterm when its like that | 02:56 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| starghost | Ok a noob comment: glad this ubuntu comes with open office. It has been a pain for me to set up in the past. | 02:56 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: I'm using the Desktop on my laptop. I've only started with the server a little before 10.04 came out. Maybe before April? | 02:57 |
| unknown | Ken1, thanks! that's what I was looking for :) | 02:57 |
| Ken1 | unknown: No problem at all. | 02:57 |
| starghost | then again im coming from openbsd, so a lot of things were a pain :) | 02:57 |
| Docteh | Gaming4JC: also hopefully someone else figures out whats going on and theres an update ;) , tracking down something like that is annoying | 02:58 |
| drake2k | Ken1 gotchya. I used desktop a few years ago, got frustrated with proprietary stuff (wifi video etc) so gave up and went with mint. My file server I just setup today though is ubuntu server. Very fast! | 02:58 |
| acerimmer_ | starghost: you a writer? | 02:58 |
| adamror | Thank you so much guys everythings working fine now.... at least we know when the world is taken over by killer computers we can just all hide and the ubuntu heroes will save us -> Ken1, Docteh and mdg (: | 02:58 |
| starghost | lool no why? | 02:58 |
| acerimmer_ | starghost: was going to suggest an open office tool for writers. nev' mind | 02:58 |
| starghost | oh but I write a lot for school, tell tell :D | 02:59 |
| Viking667 | hey ho. I have a really quick top-related question. | 02:59 |
| drake2k | ken1 just curious, in your interfaces, do you have address netmask network broadcast & gateway? | 02:59 |
| acerimmer_ | starghost: http://www.uberstudent.org/ | 02:59 |
| justin22885 | hey.. when i click places, network, nothing comes up, any idea why? | 02:59 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: I've mostly dual booted for the last while. I've dabbled since 5.04 or whatever it was. I can't remember. It's only recently that i've used it almost exclusively since major issues have been fixed. | 02:59 |
| Ken1 | adamror: You're being too kind - I didn't really do very much. it was the others that did the hard part. | 03:00 |
| Gaming4JC | Docteh: Yeah, If the xeyes get blurred I guess I'll have to vt over to sudo apt-get moo... :P | 03:00 |
| Viking667 | My wife's machine occasionally goes a bit into meltdown, and I want a way of guaranteed killing. Problem is, once processes get beyond a certain point, the machine doesn't listen to anyone any more. I'm running top under screen inside a ssh session, and I want it to be the top priority process, so the process _will_ listen to me, "like, now". | 03:00 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Yes, address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway are all here. I must have a number wrong somewhere, I just can't see it right now. | 03:00 |
| starghost | Ace: wow cool thanks ill check it out | 03:01 |
| Viking667 | Which process do i renice? top itself? screen? or the sshd responsible for listening to my connection? | 03:01 |
| Viking667 | (or all three?( | 03:01 |
| Docteh | all of them | 03:01 |
| drake2k | Ken1 easy to get them confused even on windows networks. what's the ip address on your 'network' line? | 03:01 |
| durt | Ken1, eth1 or something else instead of eth0? | 03:01 |
| adamror | 2771993 | 03:01 |
| tristan3199us | is this where i want to go to find ubuntu help?? | 03:01 |
| drake2k | tristan3199us yes | 03:02 |
| Viking667 | adante: I tak it that's 27.71.99.3 ? | 03:02 |
| Gaming4JC | !welcome | tristan3199us | 03:02 |
| Docteh | Viking667: that could be anything from bad ram to the hard drive taking a nap | 03:02 |
| ubottu | tristan3199us: 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! | 03:02 |
| acerimmer_ | tristan3199us: this is ONE place for help. what's up | 03:02 |
| Viking667 | Docteh: naah. It's poor coding on the part of the Cafe World programmers. | 03:02 |
| Docteh | oh really? | 03:02 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: The network line is currently: 192.168.1.0 | 03:02 |
| starghost | Ace: Actually this looks really awesome | 03:02 |
| Viking667 | Game gobbles up over 700Mb of memory on a bad day. On a machine with 512Mb, it's not pretty. | 03:02 |
| Docteh | Viking667: disable swap ;) | 03:02 |
| tristan3199us | im a noob.. but quick learner.. anyways.. how do i add compiz to start up | 03:03 |
| Viking667 | Docteh: hah. Can't do that. It's the only thing keeping the game running. | 03:03 |
| acerimmer_ | starghost: linux for learners. spread it around. | 03:03 |
| durt | Ken1, if you need to do some network trouble shooting, you can run wireshark to see lower level traffic errors. | 03:03 |
| Ken1 | tristian3199us: You won't need to. in the "Appearance" settings, select one of the options other than "none" - Compiz should run by default when you boot up | 03:03 |
| Viking667 | As it is, I bumped up the swap to 1Gb | 03:03 |
| Gaming4JC | !compiz | tristan3199us | 03:03 |
| ubottu | tristan3199us: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 03:03 |
| durt | Ken1, if you have another machine on the network. | 03:03 |
| Ken1 | durt: Thank you, i'll give that a try. | 03:04 |
| drake2k | Ken1 groudcast 255.255.255.0? | 03:04 |
| starghost | Positively will! | 03:04 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Yup, that's right. | 03:04 |
| tristan3199us | when i upgraded, it changed something and i dont have a window manager | 03:04 |
| drake2k | Ken1 gateway 192.168.1.1? | 03:04 |
| acerimmer_ | tristan3199us: explain | 03:04 |
| nighthwk | Does anyone know where the color.conf is? | 03:04 |
| drake2k | Ken1 wait...broadcast...should be 192.168.1.255 | 03:04 |
| Ken1 | durt: Thanks. I'll give it a go. I'm honestly not sure what I changed. | 03:04 |
| tristan3199us | but loading compiz and refreshing fixes this for now | 03:04 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k: Sorry, that's what the broadcast is. Hold on until I find the pastebin | 03:05 |
| ausnomer | I just upgraded to 10.04. It gets to the black screen with the white Ubuntu logo and then the black screen goes a purple colour and the logo changes colour (corrupts) then it reboots. I think it's a graphics driver corruption. I attempted to fix it two days ago by uninstalling fglrx, no luck. I have an ATI RV770 4850 HD. Could someone please help me troubleshoot this, I'd rather not have to reinstall ubuntu from scratch. | 03:05 |
| drake2k | Ken1 netmask is 255.255.255.0 I got them mixed. :) | 03:05 |
| bodi | nighthwk, you mean desktop colors? | 03:05 |
| Docteh | Viking667: sounds like its trying to actively use what gets swapped to disk if its bogging down so much that you cant ssh in. | 03:05 |
| starghost | Actually there is a page on the Backtrack forums (I know that is sort of off topic), but it does have details for installing Compiz-fusion in seconds if that's what you want. | 03:05 |
| Viking667 | Docteh: that's what I'm wondering. | 03:05 |
| bodi | simple ccsm | 03:06 |
| Viking667 | normally the game runs under Chrome, in flash. But the chrome process gets a lot fatter for memory use when that game is played. | 03:06 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441163/ | 03:06 |
| Docteh | Ken1: network and broadcast are usually guessed based on the network mask and the ip address | 03:07 |
| AntiProxy | hi guys | 03:08 |
| bodi | starghost, why would you send someone to backtrack for a simple thing like compiz /simple ccsm /// backtrack is a forensic distro | 03:08 |
| acerimmer_ | !hi>antiproxy | 03:08 |
| ubottu | antiproxy, please see my private message | 03:08 |
| anthony_ | hey,guys where i can get weather.com xoap parten id ? | 03:08 |
| Docteh | Viking667: any chance at adding more ram? | 03:08 |
| Ken1 | docteh: I used ifconfig just to check the broadcast and gateway addresses. They're right, as far as I know. Although, in honestly, what I know right now would fit on the back of a stamp | 03:08 |
| anthonyfv03 | I am running ubuntu on vbox and cannot access my cdrom? When I run /media it only shows floppy0, floppy1. Can anyone help me? | 03:08 |
| Docteh | Ken1: oh i'm just saying you dont have to specify them | 03:09 |
| Viking667 | Docteh: nup. Damn machine won't take more than 512. Already looked at that. | 03:09 |
| anthonyfv03 | I have an iso mounted | 03:09 |
| starghost | Hi | 03:09 |
| Ken1 | docteh: Aah. That's actually good to know. Thank you. | 03:09 |
| AntiProxy | does anyone know a solution for Evolution constantly crashing since i updated to 10.04? i was hoping it'd be fixed by now.. all my packages are up to date, but it still segfaults randomly every few minutes :( | 03:09 |
| starghost | Bodi: As I said, it was posted on their forums, that's why. | 03:09 |
| Viking667 | AntiProxy: what functions do you use in Evolution? | 03:10 |
| durt | anthonyfv03, you might want to ask on #vbox | 03:10 |
| anthonyfv03 | thank you | 03:10 |
| acerimmer_ | anthonyfv03: so you can't read teh crom iso? | 03:10 |
| drake2k | Ken1 This looks perfect...if your address actually is ip address 66 then this is perfect. No out of place numbers or even mispelled words. If this were MY server and unable to connect to the network, the next thing I would do is look at my router settings and see if it's actually getting the ip address of 66 as it's supposed to or is the router even seeing it. | 03:10 |
| Viking667 | You could replace it with Thunderbird plus Sunbird. | 03:10 |
| AntiProxy | Viking667, i have 5 POP3 accounts.. some folders, and simple rules to send mail from each account to an individual folder.. that's basically it | 03:10 |
| AntiProxy | Viking667, it also has about 10 years worth of mail archived | 03:10 |
| grant_ | how do you switch the ubuntu netbook remix to the regular desktop | 03:10 |
| drake2k | Ken1 Not sure how YOU have router, isp interface and server connected though. | 03:10 |
| acerimmer_ | grant_: on a netbook? | 03:11 |
| Catwoman | does anyone use docky??? i am wondering why it disappears sometimes | 03:11 |
| grant_ | yes | 03:11 |
| Zeike | Catwoman: do you have intellihide one? | 03:11 |
| Viking667 | Eww. Pop migration. | 03:11 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Thanks for taking a look at it. I'm digging through my ugly BT router right now. Router is connected to the internet on one end, and straight to the wireless card on the computer ("server"). In all honesty, it was working earlier and i'll bet it's something simple | 03:11 |
| Catwoman | no i don't have intellihide on... | 03:11 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k: 3am and i'm still determined. | 03:11 |
| drake2k | Ken1 wait, did you say wireless? | 03:12 |
| acerimmer_ | grant_: desktop is going to place a bigger load on yoru netbook. that's WHY there's a UNE version. Do you just want more apps or do you REALLY want the desktop experience on your netbook? | 03:12 |
| Zeike | then I don't know | 03:12 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Er, maybe but If I did I meant wired. | 03:12 |
| drake2k | Ken1 darn, and here I thought I found the problem. hehe | 03:12 |
| AntiProxy | Viking667, i tried all kinds of other options, including my own Zimbra server.. but although it gave me more functionality and accessiblity with the web interface, etc, i hated it :) | 03:12 |
| grant_ | yes i want the desktop on experience | 03:12 |
| AntiProxy | Viking667, i'm used to evolution :( | 03:12 |
| Ken1 | drake2k: Nice try. :) | 03:12 |
| durt | Ken1, did you look at the output of ifconfig? | 03:12 |
| acerimmer_ | grant_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for startes | 03:13 |
| AntiProxy | Viking667, were you on linuxhelp undernet? your nick rings a bell from 5-6 years back | 03:13 |
| Viking667 | fetchmail deals with delivery to folders... | 03:13 |
| Viking667 | AntiProxy: Still am, in fact. | 03:13 |
| AntiProxy | lol | 03:13 |
| Catwoman | does anyone have a recommendation for a dock for ubuntu other than docky | 03:13 |
| Docteh | Ken1: why aren't you using dhcp? | 03:13 |
| Ken1 | durt: I did. From what I can tell everything is in order. I'm guess it's router issues. | 03:13 |
| AntiProxy | that was a weird flashback for a second there | 03:13 |
| grant_ | how much bigger is it going to be though my harddrive only holds 16 gb | 03:13 |
| acerimmer_ | grant_: that won't install apps but it will give you desktop appearance and behavior | 03:13 |
| ausnomer | Are the volunteers that help in here just random people or are they specially anointed by Ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| Ken1 | catwoman: Have you tried Cairo-dock? | 03:13 |
| Zeike | Catwoman: gnome-do's 'docky' mode is nice | 03:13 |
| Docteh | ausnomer: random people | 03:13 |
| Viking667 | well, I've been on IRC (as such) since 1996, small wonder you've seen me. | 03:13 |
| acerimmer_ | ausnomer: random and somtimes offical canonical folk | 03:14 |
| Catwoman | i'll have to try those because docky is buggy....thanks | 03:14 |

| grant_ | should i type that in the terminal? | 03:14 |
| Chuck27 | join xchat.com | 03:14 |

| drake2k | Ken1 I just got ebox installed and am logged into it. Very sleek. | 03:14 |
| Ken1 | Docteh: Probably misundersanding to be honest. I'm assuming that, since I'm having it as a server, I'll need to define a static IP address. | 03:14 |
| Docteh | ausnomer: depends with what, also, no | 03:14 |
| Viking667 | AntiProxy: it's been a while, eh. | 03:14 |
| hiexpo | hmmn | 03:14 |
| ausnomer | so, bad idea for me to give root access to anyone here | 03:14 |

| acerimmer_ | ausnomer: trustworthy = knows what the heck they're talking about? Well... | 03:15 |
| Viking667 | ausnomer: only if you've known them for five years or longer. | 03:15 |
| Docteh | Ken1: aye, just make sure its outside of the range that the router hands out, or tell the router to do a static lease | 03:15 |
| Chuck27 | i need a x-chat chat room any help | 03:15 |

| Chuck27 | ok ty | 03:16 |
| Docteh | Ken1: yea | 03:17 |
| durt | Chuck27, since using the list command is frowned upon | 03:17 |
| bazhang | Chuck27, Ubuntu is the OS not the irc client | 03:17 |

| rahul_ | bazhang:My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. | 03:17 |

| starghost | www.searchirc.com | 03:18 |

| bazhang | rahul_, ok. please address the channel and don't repeat so often please | 03:18 |
| ausnomer | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <--- This hasn't helped. I get errors when executing some of these commands in the tutorial. Does anyone here have a good knowledge of how to properly set up graphics drivers? I can't load the gui. | 03:18 |
| Ken1 | Docteh: The thing i'm caught up on is the fact it was working okay earlier before I changed.. something. | 03:18 |
| tristan3199us | can i configure evolution to check my hotmail account | 03:18 |
| rahul_ | What can I do now? | 03:18 |
| Docteh | oh, unknown problems, i see | 03:18 |
| acerimmer_ | tristan3199us: yes. wait 1 | 03:18 |
| hiexpo | why do people make things so difficult xchat is so easy | 03:18 |
| Flannel | tristan3199us: How long have you had your hotmail account? | 03:19 |
| Ken1 | Docteh: Are you married? Engaged? I think I'm going to propose. | 03:19 |
| tristan3199us | years | 03:19 |
| tristan3199us | like ten years | 03:19 |

| durt | hiexpo, some people aren't on a gtk centric setup | 03:19 |
| rahul_ | bazhang: Can u help? | 03:19 |
| tristan3199us | thank you ace | 03:19 |
| Flannel | tristan3199us: If it's old enough, you'll still have POP access without having to go through a scraper (and without having to pay for a premium version) | 03:20 |
| Docteh | lol | 03:20 |
| Ken1 | Docteh: Changing to DHCP seems to have worked perfectly. I can now ping. I'll set my router to set a static IP that way | 03:20 |
| hiexpo | tristan3199us, - use pidgin it is much betta messanger and check your email + notifications | 03:20 |
| Viking667 | hiexpo: I don't like xchat much. I can't (really) run it in a terminal | 03:20 |
| Docteh | Ken1: nice | 03:20 |
| grant_ | if anyone want to know how to install itunes on the new lucid i may be able to help | 03:20 |
| Ken1 | tristan3199us: I use Pidgin. Or webmail notifier for Firefox. Both are very nice. | 03:20 |
| rahul_ | My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. Can any1 help???? | 03:21 |
| xangua | grant_: you have great and better music players at your disposition | 03:21 |
| anthonyfv03 | how do i view what services are using which ports | 03:21 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, the terminal gets old after while but to each's own | 03:21 |
| Ken1 | tristan3199us: webmail notifier especially - you can link as many accounts as you like. Don't use it on a shared computer, though, if you can help it. | 03:21 |
| Ken1 | anthonyfv03: netstat might be the command you're looking for. It'll list port usage. | 03:21 |
| grant_ | yea but you can't copy music from your ipod into them | 03:21 |
| Viking667 | hiexpo: it (mostly) works faster for me than some GUI programs do. | 03:21 |
| Ken1 | grant_: Have you used gtkpod? It works fine with my nano. | 03:21 |
| starghost | I rather the terminal and to startx if I need it. Had to reconfig out of the box ubuntu to not start it automatically, which was kind of strange. | 03:22 |
| grant_ | no thanks ill try it out | 03:22 |
| starghost | But I guess everyone is different;p | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, gotta config gui's to make them work right | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, minimize | 03:22 |
| Viking667 | "minimise"? Why for? | 03:22 |
| rahul_ | My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. Can any1 help???? | 03:23 |
| durt | rahul_, any error messages? | 03:23 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, to make them respond quickly | 03:23 |
| starghost | Hey werdan | 03:23 |
| rahul_ | durt: No | 03:23 |
| tripelb | Question: how can I get a mail link to open in yahoo mail and not in Evolution. Thank you. --->Third Time's the Charm. | 03:23 |
| rahul_ | durt: In the task bar it displays Starting Software center and then opens nothing.. | 03:24 |
| anthonyfv03 | I am trying to run a server but when i start it, it states port 81 is being used. Using netstat and simple scan | 03:24 |
| Viking667 | hiexpo: doesn't work when you're actually trying to play a game in chrome. doesn't respond to mouse clicks without being non-minimised. | 03:24 |
| tripelb | rahul_, please explain more. What ubuntu do you have? How long have you been using it? | 03:24 |
| Docteh | anthonyfv03: sudo netstat -ntpl | 03:24 |
| Ken1 | tipelb: It's not that easy but: http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/yahoo-as-default-email-client/ | 03:24 |
| tripelb | Ken1, thanks | 03:24 |
| Docteh | anthonyfv03: without the -l it just lists opened connections | 03:24 |
| starghost | exactly, if it is an X game, then xterm is good enough. | 03:24 |
| Ken1 | anthonyfv03: As far as I remember, port 81 is for https.. I think. Maybe try a different port? | 03:24 |
| rahul_ | I am having Ubuntu 10.04. I am using ubuntu since last 1 yr. | 03:25 |
| Overdash | 443 | 03:25 |
| Viking667 | starghost: it's not. It runs under flash | 03:25 |
| Docteh | Ken1: https is 443 | 03:25 |
| anthonyfv03 | https is 443 | 03:25 |
| hiexpo | viking oh ok no u explain ya games use so much resources | 03:25 |
| Overdash | port 443 is https | 03:25 |
| anthonyfv03 | 81 is open for http backup on most systems | 03:25 |
| Docteh | I didn't think people would trip over themselves to point that out | 03:25 |
| Viking667 | hiexpo: .... huh? | 03:25 |
| durt | rahul_, unfortunatley I know nothing about software center as it's fairly new, but it could be an apt issue, do you know how to update apt from the command line? | 03:25 |
| Ken1 | Oh, yeah, sorry. It's UDP, right? | 03:25 |
| starghost | oh i missed you said it was a browser game | 03:25 |
| MrPancake | !info libgmp3 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Package libgmp3 does not exist in lucid | 03:26 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, games use a lot of resources up | 03:26 |
| toolbear | hi. say, is it possible to do the ubuntu live cd thing without using squashfs at all? or is there a way to mimic squashfs, but still have write capabilities? | 03:26 |
| rahul_ | durt: tell me plz.. its like apt get update na? | 03:26 |
| Overdash | I caught it first and last | 03:26 |
| Docteh | toolbear: do a google search for casper-cow | 03:26 |
| durt | rahul_, ya 'sudo apt-get update' | 03:26 |
| toolbear | Docteh: ok, thanks! | 03:26 |
| anthonyfv03 | even running netstat -ntp shows it closed | 03:27 |
| hiexpo | Viking667, so that makes sense that u use terminal for chat | 03:27 |
| rahul_ | durt: It is not working yet.. | 03:27 |
| patrick_ | can anyone suggest a quick start guide to using synergy? the docs are like ten pages long... | 03:27 |
| laplatadonna | how do i change what programs go under the little mail icon by the clock in the top panel? | 03:28 |
| AntiProxy | patrick_, is your linux box the client or server? | 03:28 |
| laplatadonna | i want to add some stuff. | 03:28 |
| durt | patrick_, there's a sample config in /usr/share/doc IIRC | 03:28 |
| hiexpo | patrick_, read it never hurt anyone | 03:28 |
| Overdash | lol I'm wonder why everyone is taking about Ubuntu in #Cisco I'm not in #Cisco | 03:28 |
| extor | Does ubuntu by chance have a vmware player .deb in the repository somewhere? I just need to launch a vmware container | 03:28 |
| Docteh | extor: maybe under partners but i doubt it | 03:29 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: That's the indicator applet you're looking to change. There are some specific behaviours for the applications that are added there, so be mindful that not everything will "work" as they intend it to. You can, however, add other application icons there, or remove current ones.. I'll just get you a lin | 03:29 |
| extor | Any way to launch or convert a vmware app? | 03:29 |
| rahul_ | durt: It is not working yet.. | 03:29 |
| hiexpo | extor, yes but getdeb is down right now | 03:29 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: This link should help: http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome | 03:29 |
| === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 | ||
| Docteh | extor: you could try to run the vmdk with virtualbox | 03:29 |
| laplatadonna | Ken1: thanks! :-) | 03:30 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Glad to help. | 03:30 |
| durt | rahul_, you have a system wide http proxy configured? | 03:30 |
| rahul_ | durt: Actually it was working till yesterday. Then I updated my system and it suddenly stopped working. | 03:30 |
| extor | Docteh, didn't work | 03:30 |
| durt | rahul_, you mean update didn't work or software center? | 03:31 |
| hiexpo | extor, sun virtualbox 3.2 | 03:31 |
| kzman | what is the .bundle extension? | 03:31 |
| Capcap | is it easy to upgrade from Karmic to Lucid? | 03:31 |
| acerimmer_ | Capcap: yes | 03:31 |
| patrick_ | AntiProxy, linux is server unfortunately lol | 03:31 |
| rahul_ | durt:Update worked. But now software center is not working. | 03:32 |
| ausnomer | Any graphics driver specialists in the channel yet? | 03:33 |
| Capcap | so if i install 9.10 then come back here will someone be able to help me through the upgrade process (I'm switching back from Mint, and going to Lucid, but I have no CDs to put Lucid on and have my old Karmic CD) | 03:33 |
| durt | rahul_, no error messages when you updated apt? | 03:33 |
| Roasted | does anybody have any experience with zoneminder? | 03:33 |
| patrick_ | AntiProxy, linux is server | 03:33 |
| hiexpo | Capcap, why not just do a fresh install instead of going through all that | 03:34 |
| rahul_ | durt: No. | 03:34 |
| AntiProxy | patrick_, you just need two sections in the config file.. aliases to assign IPs to the host names, and links section to point out where each host is located in relation to the other | 03:34 |
| durt | rahul_, then, I'm afraid that was my only idea :( | 03:34 |
| patrick_ | AntiProxy, im looking at the config file and cant make heads or tails of it. | 03:35 |
| rahul_ | durt: Its ok! | 03:35 |
| rahul_ | durt: What can I do now? | 03:35 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, 2 gigs to go :) | 03:35 |

| rahul_ | durt anything u knw? | 03:35 |
| laplatadonna | alright i cant write anything to the folder \usr\share\indicators\messages\ | 03:35 |
| patrick_ | AntiProxy, i so wish this had a nice gui. i got quicksynergy but i cant even figure out that! | 03:35 |
| laplatadonna | help me | 03:35 |
| durt | rahul_, sry no. | 03:36 |
| grant_ | im trying to change my ubuntu netbook remix to regular desktop | 03:36 |
| AntiProxy | patrick_, backup that file and create a new one.. you don't need all that junk | 03:36 |
| rahul_ | laplatadonna: U need to b a root user to do that.. | 03:36 |
| Gaming4JC | !help | laplatadonna | 03:36 |
| ubottu | laplatadonna: 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. :-) | 03:36 |
| laplatadonna | rahul_: im the sole account on this machine, and the administrator | 03:36 |
| laplatadonna | rahul_: so just copy it using the tty? | 03:36 |
| durt | rahul_, it is a fairly new program, you could look at bugs on launchpad and check if there are work arounds... | 03:36 |
| hiexpo | grant_, download the distro and do a fresh install | 03:37 |
| AntiProxy | patrick_, check here for a sample config file that has the basics covered: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto#On the Server | 03:37 |
| Ken1 | grant_: It's not advised to change your netbook remix because it'll just use more resources but, as Hiexpo suggested, a fresh install might be the best bet. | 03:37 |
| ausnomer | is there any way to reset all the settings in ubuntu so that it will have to check all devices attached to the machine and reinstall drivers and set up the settings again? | 03:37 |
| grant_ | yea im downloading it right now | 03:37 |
| rahul_ | laplatadonna: No. Logout and then login as root. Tehn do operations. | 03:37 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Even though you're the sole user, you still need to tell it that you want to use "Higher" privledges. | 03:37 |
| grant_ | i just wish there were an easier way | 03:37 |
| patrick_ | AntiProxy, the wife is making me watch glee... i will have to figure this out later. thanks for the help. | 03:37 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Are you using Gnome? | 03:38 |
| acerimmer_ | grant_: if u just GOTTA, download teh desktop iso, burn a Startup Disk to your usb and go for it. | 03:38 |
| laplatadonna | rahul_: im running 10.4 desktop so how do i get to the tty when i log out? | 03:38 |
| rahul_ | durt: Is there any other way to see a list of available softwares? | 03:38 |
| AntiProxy | lol | 03:38 |
| durt | ausnomer, it does that on every boot | 03:38 |
| starghost | ace: did you design uber? | 03:38 |
| grant_ | that what ima do thanks | 03:38 |
| laplatadonna | Ken1: yes gnome | 03:38 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: I'd suggest you open up the terminal and type: "Sudo nautilus" then it'll prompt you for your password. Be very _very_ careful what do you though. | 03:38 |
| starghost | I'm still very impressed with it :D | 03:38 |
| hiexpo | grant_, easy = anything worth while is worth taking the time and doing right | 03:38 |
| durt | rahul_, synaptic package manager under system->administration | 03:38 |
| bastid_raZor | !gksudo | Ken1 laplatadonna | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Ken1 laplatadonna: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:38 |
| laplatadonna | ken1: i already opened admin rights by changing my cpu freq. | 03:39 |
| acerimmer_ | starghost: no. somma you YOUNG tux users did that - and did one outstanding job too. | 03:39 |
| grant_ | i know it is and i hate that about life god only knows | 03:39 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: You'll have to do it again for editing the files in that folder. Bastid_raZor pointed us to a useful link too which might be better than "Sudo nautilus" | 03:39 |
| laplatadonna | i only use sudo at the tty, never as a graphic command | 03:39 |
| grant_ | im the laziest crapper in the world | 03:39 |
| hiexpo | grant_, :) | 03:39 |
| grant_ | i need to get laid | 03:40 |
| bastid_raZor | Ken1: laplatadonna gksudo nautilus instead of sudo | 03:40 |
| laplatadonna | grant_: go to the beach with friends, and relax. you dont need sex to validate oyur existence. | 03:40 |
| EvaZq | anyone know how to enable the multitouch from a synaptic's touchpad | 03:40 |
| grant_ | i live in pittsburgh theres no beach around | 03:40 |
| hiexpo | grant_, get of the comp and go out | 03:41 |
| EvaZq | running ubuntu 10.04 | 03:41 |
| laplatadonna | grant_: how about a lake? | 03:41 |

| === SolarisB1y is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| grant_ | yea ill do that tomorrow | 03:41 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: As Bastid_raZor suggested (thanks) - open up a terminal and type "gksudo nautlius" to open up an administrator privleged window. | 03:41 |
| grant_ | thanks | 03:41 |
| grant_ | you guys are great | 03:41 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Then go to the folder you're try to get access to - you should be free to add, delete and change anything. Like I said though, be very careful - Linux is ruthless, it'll do exactly what you tell it to do. | 03:42 |
| EvaZq | synaptic drivers on ubuntu 10.04 someone ? | 03:42 |
| hiexpo | grantno we just tell it like it is | 03:42 |
| acerimmer_ | Ken1: linux is reliable, it'll do exactly what you tell it to. :) | 03:42 |
| durt | !synaptics | EvaZq | 03:43 |
| ubottu | EvaZq: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 03:43 |
| Ken1 | acerimmer_: Oh, ruthless and reliable - exactly. Which is how I got into most of the trouble I usually get into. | 03:43 |
| laplatadonna | Ken1: that's why i love it. i've had my 2 personal computers running linux for a year without troubles. and one is a tablet pc and it supports everything on it, including the digitizer and touchscreen...now im converting my family one by one. this isnt even my irc account, just one i set up so mom can talk to me directly without picking up the phone | 03:43 |
| hiexpo | linux = reliable, stable and sexy :) | 03:43 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: One of the reasons I like it too, but also why things have gone wrong. I've had to wrestle for some features but heck, i'm 23, it's 3:43am and I'm off work for six weeks with a broken neck - what else am I going to do? | 03:44 |

| hiexpo | acerimmer_, - lol | 03:46 |
| lgc | Hi, I wonder why every time my box needs restart (which is quite often, lately), I end up with an old session of apps that weren't the ones I was running before the crash. Hints? | 03:46 |
| laplatadonna | Ken1: and yeah i was bored when i did mine, but it was worth the time. i wanted a mac but didnt have the money, and it turns out i found something better. :-) but one thing left is netflix...cant get it to run without virtualboxing windows. any luck? | 03:46 |
| jrib | lgc: are you running ubuntu in some virtualized environment? | 03:47 |
| lgc | jrib, no. | 03:47 |
| Therstrium | Can anyone help out with a partition creation problem? I'm using disk utility and getting this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3gFKkC49 | 03:47 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Very much so. I use only x86 but the boot time of my laptop is stupidly quick. I think I'm running in about 30 seconds from GRUB loading. I have a dual booting system with... ugh... Vista. | 03:47 |
| jrib | lgc: can you be more specific? I don't see how that would be possible | 03:47 |
| Ken1 | lgc: In the session options, have you asked it to save previous session? Just a shot in the dark. | 03:47 |
| lgc | jrib, no, I am not running my ubuntu in a virtualized environment. | 03:48 |
| hiexpo | lgc, you must have told the machine to do that somehow /// bring up old sessions | 03:48 |
| jrib | lgc: I meant regarding the problem, but never mind, I misunderstood you anyway | 03:48 |
| laplatadonna | my prizefighter is about to come back online because this computer is running low on battery, but its a 64-bit dual core 2 GHz that boots in 25 seconds | 03:48 |
| lgc | Ken1, no, but how can I check? | 03:48 |
| lgc | hiexpo, how? | 03:48 |
| drake2k | Ken1 So far the ebox is pretty nice. A lot like astaro gateway or something. I'm not sure if it's 100% installed correctly on my machine however so we'll see. | 03:48 |
| laplatadonna | Ken1: I had a dual-boot for about ten minutes only because i wasnt sure how ubuntu would do with the new hardware but it was amazing. | 03:49 |
| Ken1 | lgc: System - Preferences - Start Up Applications - "Options" tab. | 03:49 |
| Ken1 | laplatadonna: Have you tried WINE for Netflicks? I'm not sure Netflicks is exactly but maybe it'll help. | 03:49 |
| lgc | jrib, my session comes up with Evolution, for example, which I kill every time it shows up, only to do it again at the next boot. | 03:49 |
| hiexpo | lgc, i dont remember but there is a thing that will place all apps as previouse i gotta think about it | 03:49 |
| Ken1 | Drake2k: Thanks for the update too. I'm going to try and install it now too. | 03:50 |
| rallias | Ken1: Its a 10$ per month movie rental service in teh US | 03:50 |

| Ken1 | rallias: Aah. I guess that's my fault for being in UK (Northern Ireland) | 03:50 |
| lgc | hiexpo, isn't it what Ken1 just mentioned? | 03:50 |
| rallias | ken1: i don't blame you | 03:50 |

| Ken1 | lgc: Unusual. I'm not exactly the most skilled Linux person - stab in the dark is mostly what I do. I'm just not sure what would cause that behaviour. Worst case scenario - full backup and fresh install? | 03:52 |
| Ken1 | rallias: Try using VirtualBox. | 03:52 |
| durt | lgc, there is system->preferences->start up applications also | 03:52 |
| acerimmer_ | rallias: virtualization you mean? | 03:52 |
| Ken1 | !virtualbox | rallias | 03:52 |
| ubottu | rallias: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 03:52 |
| rallias | no i want seperate partition entirely | 03:52 |
| acerimmer_ | rallias: different distro? | 03:52 |
| rallias | i just don't want to have to download a livecd | 03:52 |
| Ken1 | Rallias: Yes, you can try dual booting. | 03:52 |
| Flannel | rallias: Yep. Instructions on one method are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix | 03:52 |
| Ken1 | !dual boot | rallias | 03:52 |
| ubottu | rallias: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 03:52 |
| hiexpo | acerimmer_, no it has something to do with how apps run it will save previous run apps last settings | 03:53 |
| rallias | yeah i want to install a second distro for dualboot without having to downloading a livecd | 03:53 |
| Flannel | rallias: You'll still have to download the packages and stuff. | 03:53 |
| lgc | durt, there are quite a few checked, but not the ones that show up. | 03:53 |
| acerimmer_ | hiexpo: save running apps on exit = there's a preference setting somewhere | 03:53 |
| ir0n0xid3 | Safest way to get torrents? Polling the crowd. | 03:53 |
| hiexpo | rallias, asking for a train wreck | 03:53 |
| Flannel | hiexpo: Not really | 03:53 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ken1: u there? | 03:53 |
| durt | lgc, a setting in evolution itself? | 03:53 |
| lgc | Ken1, that's going a bit too far. I haven't reinstalled since Dapper Drake (2005 or so). | 03:53 |
| rallias | i don't care its an 8 year old computer | 03:53 |
| Ken1 | Ir0n0xid3: I use Vuze. | 03:54 |
| Ken1 | Linux_is_my_hero: I a. | 03:54 |
| DjDark | well i just installed 10.04 on my spare partition using the Alt disk, and when i select that install in the boot manager, the screen goes into standby... | 03:54 |
| Flannel | ir0n0xid3: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ Torrents are there | 03:54 |
| rallias | without a dvd drive | 03:54 |
| lgc | durt, don't think so, because it also starts LyX and eVince, for example. | 03:54 |
| rallias | i never convinced my grandma to buy a dvd drive | 03:54 |
| Docteh | rallias: take a look at netboot.me and boot.kernel.org | 03:54 |
| ir0n0xid3 | Ken1: Do you get your torrent files straight off the Vuse search? | 03:54 |
| Flannel | rallias: You can also install from a USB drive | 03:54 |
| Ken1 | rallias: Depending on the distro, you might not need to use a live CD - I usually install Ubuntu with the text based loader because i'm impatient, but your probably going to have to download something, whether it's an .iso or a bootable USB stick format | 03:54 |
| orikon | hello | 03:55 |
| acerimmer_ | !hi>orikon | 03:55 |
| ubottu | orikon, please see my private message | 03:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ken1: how do i tell my computer to permanently run the cpu at 2GHZ USERSPACE from boot even when running battery? | 03:55 |
| Ken1 | ir0n0xid3: On the rare occasions that I download, Yes. | 03:55 |
| Flannel | ir0n0xid3: Just download them from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ | 03:55 |
| ausnomer | any ATI driver experts online? | 03:55 |
| orikon | does anyone know how to get japanese filenames to display? ive installed the language packs and changed my region settings, what else am i missing? | 03:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ausnomer: what computer and what video card? | 03:55 |
| hiexpo | linux_is_my_hero, power management | 03:56 |
| Ken1 | linux_is_my_hero: Good question and i'm just not sure. I know you can add an applet on the taskbar for setting CPU throttling/usage. | 03:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ausnomer: i have a hp tx2525nr with a ati video card. i ran ubuntu update then i ran hardware drivers and it found them on its own. | 03:56 |
| orikon | it does display fine on websites | 03:56 |
| acerimmer_ | orikon: system language is english? or nihon | 03:56 |
| ey_ | I am trying to install a gimp plugin and after running the config script, i get themsg "Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable" even though it is installed (gimp 2.6) | 03:56 |
| ey_ | how do i do this/ | 03:56 |
| ausnomer | linux_is_my_hero: ubuntu 10.04 on an intel PC, ATI 4850 HD | 03:57 |
| Ken1 | ey_: Off the top of my head, is the plugin compatible with that version of the GIMP? | 03:57 |
| orikon | well the local is set to japan | 03:57 |
| hiexpo | ey_, use synaptic it is easier | 03:57 |
| orikon | and i just noticed the select system language button | 03:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ausnomer: sounds like pretty new hardware, when did your design come out? | 03:57 |
| drake2k | Ken1 This thing is pretty intense, I might just start over on another hard drive and see what happens when I install it first. | 03:57 |
| ausnomer | linux_is_my_hero: 2 years ago | 03:57 |
| orikon | ill change that now | 03:57 |
| lgc | By the way, I see with dismal that since the version previous to Karmic, the developers messed with Synaptics setups, so I just am not able to set up a decent delay on my touchpad. They disabled such option, and whatever setting you play with, they won't stay over reboots, or even over suspends. What gives? | 03:57 |
| acerimmer_ | orikon: System>Administration>Language Support | 03:57 |
| rallias | also, is there a way to do it within windows? | 03:57 |
| ausnomer | linux_is_my_hero: driver worked in 9.04 and 9.10 but keeps freezing/rebooting in 10.04 | 03:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ausnomer: alright do a ubuntu update real quick just to be sure, then go to system-->admin-->hardware drivers, and have it look for hardware. it should find proprietary drivers for your video card. | 03:58 |
| ey_ | its not available through synaptic, I have to compile | 03:58 |
| hiexpo | !windows | 03:58 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 03:58 |
| Ken1 | rallias: Do what in windows? Install Linux? Maybe WUBI is what you're looking for. Or Virtualisation again. | 03:58 |
| ausnomer | linux_is_my_hero: can't get into gui, crashes/reboots. Only option atm is command prompt | 03:58 |
| ey_ | and according to the plugin page at gimp registry, people have installed with gimp 2.6 | 03:58 |
| raj_ | im on my vaccation 2( day ) west coast michigan .. i forgot my camera so i bought a cheap 20$ one.. but when i connect it it doesnt mount | 03:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hiexpo: i went to power management and i dont see a freq. lock anaywhere | 03:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | *anywhere | 03:59 |
| hiexpo | linux_is_my_hero, again what are u tring to do i type a lot sorry? | 03:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ausnomer: ah, im newer to the tty than the gui. ask some one more experienced. sorry! | 03:59 |
| orikon | hmm didn't change anything, maybe ill need to restart? | 03:59 |
| ausnomer | linux_is_my_hero: thanks anyway | 04:00 |
| Ken1 | orikon: It's worth a try. | 04:00 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hiexpo: make my machine run fullspeed by default unless i tell it to slow down (whcih i wont, because i have an extended life battery and a power cord for emergencies) | 04:00 |
| acerimmer_ | orikon: yes | 04:00 |
| Ken1 | linux_is_my_hero: I thought the applet on the taskbar would lock the frequency. | 04:00 |
| orikon | k, thanks | 04:00 |

| Ken1 | Purpley: WOL does work if your network card supports it - wirelessly or not. It's not always fun getting it working because you'll have to ensure your router will let it happen too. | 04:14 |

| Purpley | Ken1, I mean my router sends a WOL packet to my wireless card and wakes the computer up | 04:16 |
| Ken1 | purpley: I'm honestly not sure. I suspect not because the USB device won't be running until sometime around boot, or after, thus no power will be going to it. I might be wrong, though. | 04:16 |

| tristan3199us1 | im cant get left4dead2 to finish loading.. i watch the intro and main menu.. then as it loads it freezes | 04:22 |
| durt | linux_is_my_hero, it means recusive force, and you guys should probably not be talking about this here. | 04:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ken1: so if a process or kernel is using anything it tells it to f**k off and it deletes it anyway? | 04:22 |

| soreau | ausnomer: Open a file with 'gedit chroot && chmod +x chroot' and paste the contents into the file then save it and close http://pastebin.org/289303 | 04:22 |
| ausnomer | soreau: so what should I do next? Is there a 'repair installation' available from the live disc or is it more involved than that? | 04:22 |
| trench | linux_is_my_hero: you have man man or man command then it will say stuff there | 04:22 |
| Ken1 | CapCap: 10.04 is pretty good - very fast and some nice features. There are problems, though but isn't there always? | 04:22 |
| grendal_prime | anyone know how to just stream a dvd from one machine to another? | 04:22 |

| pat5star | for new users (well, the ones that start playing with cli) I install trash and tell them to use it instead of rm. Much safer IMHO | 04:22 |

| opnet | hey, I was wondering where the default themes are kept? I want to start making my own so I'm going to start out by editing those | 04:24 |
| Ken1 | opnet: They're usually in /usr/share/themes/ - I'd recommend copying them over totyour home directory. | 04:25 |
| Ken1 | opnet: Just so you don't change the original ones. | 04:25 |
| doolph | yeah | 04:25 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ken1: when ubuntu's appearance control app loads the little thumbnails of each theme, does it get them from /usr/share/themes? | 04:25 |
| opnet | that's what I was going to go, thanks | 04:25 |
| opnet | also, what linux_is_my_hero said | 04:26 |
| hiexpo | Ken1, - don't tell newb'sthat lool they'll crash 4 syre | 04:26 |
| Ken1 | linux_is_my_hero: I'm actually not too sure. I think it does take it from one of the configuration files in the folder. | 04:26 |
| opnet | hiexpo: who says I'm a noob, at least i have decent grammar | 04:27 |
| dsnyders | What are the apt commands for saving the current list of software so that I can install a new machine with the same software? | 04:27 |
| Ken1 | opnet: Easy now. I'm not sure s/he meant it offensively. | 04:27 |
| zetheroo | here is a 'fun' one ... this is happening on two machines (Desktops) ... press the power button and after the BIOS screen I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor ... no GRUB menu ... perform a reset (sometimes 3-4 times) and GRUB will appear and everything is peachy ... any ideas? | 04:28 |
| dsnyders | zetheroo, It could be a hard drive issue. | 04:28 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i have themes under c:/usr/share/themes that arent showing up under system-->admin-->appearance | 04:28 |
| fbdystang | Hi all, I have a samba share on my server. How do I map it to /mnt/<server>? | 04:29 |
| dsnyders | zetheroo, Sorry. This is happening on both machines? Are they identical? | 04:29 |
| Ken1 | linux_is_my_hero: I'm not sure why that is. Maybe you need to add them to a .themes folder in your home directory? | 04:29 |
| zetheroo | dsnyders: they are not identical | 04:30 |
| zetheroo | dsnyders: yes ... happening on two systems ... | 04:30 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Ken1: what if i want them availible to all users? im the only one on this computer, but this is somethign ill remember. i have anotehr computer with multiple users. | 04:30 |
| zetheroo | dsnyders: one of them has a near new HDD | 04:30 |
| ausnomer | soreau: ok done. | 04:31 |

| === McPeter is now known as Noob`s | ||

| cryptic0 | on my wife's lts 10.04 laptop, the sound disappeared all of a sudden. the sound setting thing on menu bar is red in color now. | 04:32 |
| durt | cryptic0, you're muted | 04:33 |
| cryptic0 | I checked with aumix, the sound is not muted | 04:33 |
| opnet | hey, where were the default theme packs in ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| Ken1 | linux_is_my_hero: Normally themes are packaged and you install them through the "Appearance" window, where they're then copied into the right directory. I think it might just be the home directory, though. Sometimes themes don't appear if they're not properly made, e.g. some of the description files are missing. I think that file might be the "gtkrc" file | 04:33 |
| Ken1 | opnet: /usr/share/themes/ | 04:33 |
| DrManhattan | why does linux appear to have issues with a system that uses an sata HD and an ide cdrom | 04:33 |
| opnet | /usr... somewhere | 04:33 |
| opnet | yeah, that was it | 04:33 |
| DrManhattan | I noticed it first on ubuntu, but fedora has the same problem | 04:34 |
| opnet | thanks again | 04:34 |
| ausnomer | mount: none already mounted or /media/ee27... mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /media/ee27... chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt//media/ee27...: no such file or directory | 04:34 |

| Hankinator | Jordan_u...I have heard that that puts heavy where and tear on the drive....but my work paid for it so not sure | 04:49 |
| kbar | also ausnomer there are more efficient ways of recursively copying files. FOr example you can make a bash script that only copies certain types of files. Right now you are copying ALL files and ALL directories in your home directory. may not be a wise move | 04:49 |
| tristan3199us1 | is there a better option than compiz | 04:49 |
| kbar | ausnomer, try GNOME? | 04:50 |
| tristan3199us1 | kbar. i should try GNOME? | 04:50 |
| ausnomer | kbar: yep, I want to back up the whole home directory | 04:50 |
| kbar | ausnomer, there are configuration files in your home directory that you might not want | 04:50 |
| kbar | tristan3199us, if you are new to linux, you should start with GNOME | 04:51 |
| ausnomer | kbar: I think it's just easier, I can extract what I need from the back up after I reinstall | 04:51 |
| hiexpo | tristan3199us, are u using gnome ? and or ccsm ? | 04:51 |
| sutanto | join #kpli-bogor | 04:51 |
| kbar | ausnomer, you should do cp -R /Home/directory for each of your directories that you want | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | Hankinator: It's actually less wear than a persistent system, since then you are writing entire files when only changing part of a file among other things. Without persistence there is almost no wear because there are no writes and reads are cheap with flash. | 04:51 |
| kbar | ausnomer, for example, just the videos, just the pictures, etc. this way you can avoid copying the config files | 04:52 |
| ausnomer | kbar ok thanks | 04:52 |
| projektidiot | hello | 04:52 |
| tristan3199us1 | hiexpo... gnome | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Hankinator: If you are worried about wear you can use a non journaled filesystem (ext2, or ext4 without journaling). But with a high quality ssd I don't think you even need to worry about that. | 04:53 |
| kbar | raj_, try http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-988577.html | 04:53 |
| dsnyders | kbar, wouldn't the config files be in the folders prefixed by a period? | 04:53 |
| projektidiot | I am looking to install Ubuntu on my netbook, but I'm having a very fundamentla issue | 04:53 |
| kbar | true, dsnyders I forgot about that... hehehe | 04:53 |
| projektidiot | I'm trying to do it from a flash drive, but my computer doesn't allow me the choice of booting from a thumb stick. | 04:54 |
| Hankinator | Jordan: Not worried about wear and tear but I just want to make sure I can install new programs and updates and have them stay. | 04:54 |

| DrManhattan | jbrouhard, - what chipset motherboard do you have and how did you get ubuntu to boot and recognize the cdrom AND the HD? | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | Hankinator: Then you want a standard install, just make sure that you click the "advanced" button on the last screen and choose to install grub to the flash drive, otherwise it will install grub to your internal hard drive. | 04:55 |

| ausnomer | ok so the important folders in my home directory are being backed up to my hard drive, then I can reinstall 10.04. Should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh? | 04:57 |
| phlak_user | hi | 04:58 |
| linux | hi | 04:58 |
| linux | hallow | 04:59 |
| kbar | does anybody know why in awesome there are spaces left when I tile terminal windows? | 04:59 |
| orikon | hello | 04:59 |
| ausnomer | kbar: after my files back up to external hdd, should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh with no legacy from the previous installation? Or should I format the partition first? | 04:59 |
| Nitro | Anyone know how to install Teamspeak 3 on Ubuntu? | 04:59 |
| kbar | you should format, ausnomer | 04:59 |
| orikon | is there any way i can see all the commands being executed on my system? for example when i click "start network" i can see the command /etc/init.d/start-network displayed? | 05:00 |
| phlak_user | ausnomer: the formatting will happen during installation | 05:00 |
| ausnomer | phlak_user: oh ok | 05:00 |
| faisal | hello everyone | 05:00 |
| faisal | how you guys doinÉ | 05:00 |
| kbar | orikon, you can try using terminal | 05:00 |
| dsnyders | kbar, probably because terminal windows are multiples of character widths, and not continuously expandable. | 05:00 |
| faisal | I need help .. can someone help me plz | 05:00 |
| durt | faisal, very good, question? | 05:00 |
| phlak_user | phlak_user: in fact, there is a very comprehensive wizard that lets you choose whether to get it done automatically, or you can also manually partition etc etc | 05:01 |
| faisal | i have acertime line 5810tz laptop wireless is not working | 05:01 |
| phlak_user | !ask | faisal | 05:01 |
| ubottu | faisal: 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. :-) | 05:01 |
| durt | faisal, what card? | 05:01 |
| linux | ausnomer, it will automatically formate ur hdd | 05:01 |
| ausnomer | Who chose to make 10.04 so ummm purple? | 05:01 |
| faisal | i dont know durt | 05:01 |
| orikon | but it doesn't display what commands are being run from the GUI | 05:01 |
| ausnomer | linux: ok ty | 05:01 |
| faisal | like how do i configure it or install it .. i am new to linux | 05:02 |
| Purpley | Can you play 1080i on a CRT monitor? | 05:02 |
| kbar | gah dsnyders I guess I'll comb through rc.lua to see if I can bind mod4 to open a terminal emulator that does continuously expand | 05:02 |
| jbrouhard | DrManhattan, I did nothing to get Ubuntu to recognize the CDROM/HDD.. I' | 05:02 |
| DrManhattan | wtf | 05:02 |
| faisal | its a acer timeline laptop 5810tz | 05:02 |
| orikon | like if i change a setting from the GUI, i'd like to see the actual commands that are going on in the background | 05:02 |
| kbar | orikon, that's why you dont use gui | 05:02 |
| linux | faisal, what u wanna install | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | Hankinator: Boot from the Ubuntu install CD. | 05:03 |
| faisal | wireless | 05:03 |
| orikon | yeah, i just figured something like that would be a good learning tool | 05:03 |
| phlak_user | faisal: can you do a lspci and see what card it has? | 05:03 |
| DrManhattan | mine gives me "i/o error can't read from cd" errors and its the cd I got FROM ubuntu | 05:03 |
| Hankinator | Jordan: Thanks much.... | 05:03 |
| kbar | orikon, hardly. try using terminal to do everything. that will be a good learning tool | 05:03 |
| faisal | i would like to configure or install wireless so it works .. right now i am running the wireless stick | 05:03 |
| kbar | faisal, what do you mena | 05:03 |
| faisal | i also have built in wireless | 05:03 |
| kbar | faisal, have you tried looking up what drivers you would need? | 05:03 |
| orikon | haha k thanks | 05:04 |
| projektidiot | Anyone have any other ideas to look into besides my BIOS as far as booting from a thumb drive? | 05:04 |
| faisal | built in wireless is not being detected or run by ubuntu | 05:04 |
| kbar | projektidiot, do you have windows? | 05:04 |
| phlak_user | faisal: can you pl pastebin the output of lspci so that we can figure out how to help | 05:04 |
| faisal | kbar like i said sir i am new to ubuntu .. i am an x windows user | 05:04 |
| projektidiot | kbar: yes | 05:04 |
| kbar | projektidiot, use WUBI | 05:05 |
| durt | faisal, might need the broadcom drivers, but you need to find out what card it is, try 'lspci' in a terminal. | 05:05 |
| faisal | ok and how do i do that | 05:05 |
| kbar | faisal, do you mean Microsoft Windows, or X Window | 05:05 |
| kbar | stop trolling | 05:05 |

| linux | hallow all i wanna add sound effects to my ubuntu ie when ill minimise or maximise | 05:07 |
| faisal | so what do i do now phlak user | 05:07 |
| kbar | projektidiot, there's no real way to do it if you can't get into bios. why can't you get into bios? | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | projektidiot: I've never heard of a netbook that couldn't boot from USB before, are you sure that the drive is bootable (have you tried booting it from another computer)? Are you sure that the USB port works? | 05:07 |
| kbar | lol faisal posted ALL of lspci hahhahahaha | 05:07 |
| phlak_user | faisal: hangon let me look | 05:07 |
| faisal | thank you phlak_user | 05:08 |
| projektidiot | kbar: I can get into the bios, but a USB drive isn't listed. It is in the priorities list, but even at top priority it didn't boot. And when I hit F12 my only two options were IDE and Ethernet. | 05:08 |
| projektidiot | Jordan: I was able to boot easily on my desktop, so the drive should be fine. And I tried all three ports on my netbook. | 05:08 |
| kbar | projektidiot, you dont have a cd drive? | 05:09 |
| kbar | grr wrong question | 05:09 |
| projektidiot | kbar: nope. | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | projektidiot: Is the drive readable from windows (or whatever OS currently have on the netbook)? | 05:09 |
| kbar | projektidiot, what netbook do you have | 05:09 |
| linux | phlak_user, i wanna add sound effects to my ubuntu ie when ill minimise or maximise | 05:09 |

| tristan4444 | yep.. on it now | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | projektidiot: If you see your USB drive listed in the 'ls -l' output then you are lucky and you can setup grub to boot from the flash drive. If not (which seems likely, though surprising with a netbook) then what I would do is copy a liveCD iso that has a "Copy to RAM" type option to your hard drive, I recommend grml as it's especially easy to loop boot like this. | 05:28 |
| doormat81 | phlak_user, No, there's no option there to adjust the scroll speed. | 05:28 |

| daffy_ | yes i have usedtraditional and trackball both | 05:43 |
| roygbiv | what about going brute force method and chmod'ing /lib/firmware to something more permissable? | 05:44 |
| daffy_ | is there always ear 1400 users on? | 05:44 |
| roygbiv | lol that's a busy system | 05:44 |
| faisal | i tried sudo | 05:44 |
| tristan4444 | wildbat.. my setting says it will suspend if criticlly low but doesnt | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | daffy_: I found that I had some "wierdness" with my usb mouse in the usb port I had it plugged into. Seems strange to me, but moving it to a differant usb port (and a restart) cleared the issue up. You could try it at least. | 05:45 |
| daffy_ | ok i am doing so now | 05:45 |

| roygbiv | or google ;P | 05:47 |
| phlak_user | faisal: did that work? | 05:47 |
| durt | nifty, you can file bugs manually on launchpad | 05:47 |
| faisal | roygbiv chmod doesnt work either | 05:47 |
| faisal | or i am not entering it right | 05:47 |

| wise_crypt | !bug > nifty | 05:48 |
| ubottu | nifty, please see my private message | 05:48 |
| phlak_user | roygbiv: faisal 777 is a VERY BAD IDEA | 05:48 |
| nifty | durt: when I attempt to file a bug, I'm being redirected to an ubuntu wiki page | 05:48 |
| faisal | where do i type that now roygbiv | 05:48 |
| roygbiv | phlak_user: for testing it's a perfectly fine idea | 05:48 |
| roygbiv | faisal: on a command line | 05:49 |
| faisal | it says no such file or directory | 05:49 |
| durt | nifty, what, is launchpad down for a bit? | 05:49 |
| roygbiv | faisal: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware | 05:49 |
| faisal | says mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/firmware': File exists | 05:50 |
| daffy_ | it still is not working | 05:50 |
| phlak_user | o_O | 05:50 |
| roygbiv | faisal: something deeper is wrong then, or so it would seem, if not PEBKAC | 05:51 |
| nifty | durt: I understand I can file a bug based on specific application. I'm puzzled on how to file a kernel-related bug. | 05:51 |
| greezmunkey | daffy_: no help at all? | 05:51 |
| phlak_user | faisal: did you manage to extract and copy that file you downloaded into this directory? | 05:51 |
| faisal | phlak it wouldnt let me | 05:52 |
| faisal | says i dont have permision | 05:52 |
| daffy_ | no it still acts like it did, will move around and when i first turn on it works for a minute then nothing | 05:52 |
| phlak_user | faisal: which is why is asked you to type sudo before the copy command; eg. sudo cp file-to-be-copied /lib/firmware/ | 05:52 |
| tristan3199us | can anyone help me fix my sofware center | 05:52 |
| tristan3199us | it seems to have been disturbed during upgrade | 05:53 |

| roygbiv | faisal: ls -ld /lib/firmware. what do you get? | 05:53 |
| greezmunkey | daffy_: what is the exact mfg/model# of it please. | 05:53 |

| faisal | phlak help plz | 06:00 |
| wise_crypt | faisal: reading http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download/ubuntupocketguide-v1-1.zip might help you understand about ubuntu better i think | 06:00 |
| durt | nifty, you really should check launchpad to see if the bug is already filed, again check to see if anyone is alive in #ubuntu-bugs to see if it's a known issue | 06:00 |
| phlak_user | faisal: im sorry too many people are pulling you in different directions; cant focus | 06:00 |

| faisal | right now i have the wireless stick hooked up to laptop | 06:01 |
| faisal | i want the internal wireless card to work | 06:01 |
| DaftPyramid | is it appropriate to ask for help here? | 06:01 |
| nifty | durt: quick search did not yield similar issue. I'll try other means as you've suggested. | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | DaftPyramid: go for it | 06:02 |
| durt | DaftPyramid, for Ubuntu it is | 06:02 |
| DaftPyramid | ok | 06:02 |
| DaftPyramid | I have a desktop with an old integrated ati card | 06:02 |
| dsnyders | DaftPyramid, It is appropriate if you have an ubuntu question. If it's about rowboat navigation, you're on your own. | 06:02 |
| Raaagh | RE: Yakuake transparency problem, all I need to do is restart Yakuake :3 | 06:02 |
| DaftPyramid | the free radeon drivers were terrible | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: what file are to trying to get to /lib/firmware? | 06:02 |
| daffy_ | faisal did you upgrade and lose wifi or never had it? | 06:02 |
| DaftPyramid | either that, or they weren't working correctly | 06:02 |
| rolsworth | my audio with ubuntu sucks so bad | 06:03 |
| DaftPyramid | I installed fglrx, but now when I boot up, my monitor just displays VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED, how do I fix this? | 06:03 |
| faisal | greezmunkey to extract the iwlwifi-1000 ucode | 06:03 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: what is the exact filename? | 06:04 |
| faisal | well i installed the ubuntu using wubi from win7 | 06:04 |
| jimmyz80 | Anyone have a recommendation, I was adding a rule under window opacity with ccsm, and it sorta caused my desktop to crash and I cannot do anything logged in as that user, what would be the simplest thing for me to delete to fix this? As in, maybe reset all compiz settings for that user | 06:04 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | hello all | 06:04 |
| faisal | iwlwifi-1000-ucode-128.50.3.1 | 06:04 |
| soreau | jimmy51_: All you have to do is start metacity then open ccsm and fix it | 06:05 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: where did you get that? | 06:05 |
| faisal | http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 06:05 |
| nomnex | what command do I pass to have his gpg key in my software source > authentication, here is the link (it is on Debian) | 06:05 |
| jimmyz80 | I can't do anything as that user, what can i do logged in as a different user | 06:05 |
| bazhang | nomnex, debian? | 06:06 |
| nomnex | sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xE394D996 returns and error message | 06:06 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: got it. Hold a sec... | 06:06 |
| dsnyders | jimmyz80, can you do a ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a command prompt? | 06:06 |
| jimmyz80 | yeah | 06:06 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: have you already extracted the file? | 06:06 |
| nomnex | bazhang, I am on Ubuntu, here is on Debian, that the Bluefish 2 package | 06:06 |
| faisal | sure greezmunkey | 06:06 |
| faisal | it wouldnt let me | 06:06 |
| soreau | jimmy51_: I wonder if you do 'sudo login' then login as the other user then run 'ccsm' and try to fix it | 06:06 |
| Raaagh | So compiz is working nicely, except the "Animations" and "Animations add-on" plugins. Any ideas? | 06:06 |
| faisal | it is not letting me extract the file in that directory | 06:07 |
| jimmyz80 | hmm i'll try that | 06:07 |
| bazhang | nomnex, you are trying to use debian packages with Ubuntu? please clarify | 06:07 |
| greezmunkey | fais | 06:07 |
| soreau | Raaagh: Have you recently installed plugins-extra? | 06:07 |
| nomnex | bazhang, can you take a look there https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/540126, comment #8, thank you | 06:07 |

| DaftPyramid | I guess no one knows | 06:08 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | how much diffrent is ubuntu from debian | 06:08 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: save the file to your hdd | 06:08 |
| faisal | i saved it on desktop | 06:08 |
| roygbiv | cr45h-0v3r1d3: 18.394% | 06:08 |
| dsnyders | cr45h-0v3r1d3, ubuntu was based on debian, but I think they've diverged a lot. | 06:08 |
| soreau | DaftPyramid: fglrx does not support older radeon cards that aren't of the HDxxx series | 06:09 |
| soreau | DaftPyramid: You will need to remove fglrx | 06:09 |
| bazhang | nomnex, you want to add the PPA? | 06:09 |
| Moc | anyone havng issues doing dns lookup of google ? | 06:09 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: | 06:09 |
| DaftPyramid | I know, but someone said to still run with it, and on ATI's website, if you choose my card, it routes you to the catalyst fglrx page | 06:09 |
| bazhang | cr45h-0v3r1d3, a good topic for #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 06:09 |
| nomnex | bazhang, nope, it's in there already, but I have delete the his key and I don't know how to get it back | 06:09 |
| bazhang | nomnex, you wish to add the key for the PPA? | 06:10 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: | 06:10 |
| soreau | DaftPyramid: Well I'm telling you here and now, if it isn't HDxxxx series, fglrx no longer supports it | 06:10 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | thanks to those that just answered the question | 06:10 |
| nomnex | bazhang, yes | 06:10 |
| faisal | greezmunkey i saved the file on desktp | 06:10 |

| soreau | Raaagh: Before what? | 06:10 |

| gkasinath | Okie.. Question on Dual head, gnome-panel not displaying. | 06:11 |
| faisal | how do i find that out greezmunkey | 06:11 |
| DaftPyramid | with the free drivers, any 3D program would immediately crash, even flash games chugged | 06:11 |
| soreau | Raaagh: animations addon is provided by the plugins-extra package. How did you install addons? | 06:12 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: on either of the monitors? | 06:12 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: double click the file you saved on your desktop | 06:12 |
| nomnex | bazhang, the key has been imported but I have deleted by mistake | 06:12 |
| nahar | I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help. | 06:12 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user: on the secondary monitor. Im using NVIDIA card. | 06:12 |
| bazhang | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name nomnex using this command? | 06:12 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: did you open it up in Archive Manager? | 06:13 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, use to work with 9.10, fresh install of 10.04 killed it. :( | 06:13 |
| Raaagh | sorea: Through synaptic package manager I believe. | 06:13 |
| faisal | greezmunkey i did double click | 06:13 |
| daffy_ | greezmunkey: the mouse works good on my lap top. i had a similar issue to faisal when i was istalling on my dell 1525, i needed to install the dynex drivers, do you think that may be part of his issue? | 06:13 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: ive normally seen that the panel is present in any one monitor | 06:13 |
| soreau | Raaagh: Have you restarted compiz since you installed it? | 06:13 |
| Raaagh | sorea:yep | 06:13 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: maybe gnome-control-center should let you do something | 06:13 |
| nomnex | not, the command I have passed (and passed again without success after having removed the key) is sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring | 06:13 |
| greezmunkey | daffy_: from the link I posted to you earlier? | 06:13 |
| soreau | Raaagh: Then what is not working about it? | 06:13 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, gnome-control-cenrter != gconf-editor, is it? | 06:14 |
| daffy_ | it is just settig your mouse. i have had it working before on 10.04 | 06:14 |
| nomnex | bazhang, did you see error msg on line 5, http://paste.ubuntu.com/441208/? | 06:14 |
| Raaagh | sorea: Simply the "Animations" plugin (and "Animations Addon"). Everything else seems fine, wobbly windows, Scale, Zoom etc | 06:14 |
| bazhang | nomnex, the normal way to add PPA repos is the one I gave you above (substituting the appropriate info of course) | 06:14 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: after you double clicked, you should have recieved the option to open it up in archive manager, did you select yes? | 06:14 |
| faisal | yes | 06:14 |
| Raaagh | Sorea: So I setup effects for Close, Open,Minimize, Shade, and Focus, but it doesnt render those effects | 06:14 |
| daffy_ | i had a error and it scanned and fixed itsefl but now does not work right | 06:14 |
| nomnex | bazhang, I know how to install and PPA, it is installed, the key was also here, but i have deleted | 06:14 |
| soreau | Raaagh: You already said that. What I want to know is specific details like "I tired this and expected x but it didn't y and now z" | 06:15 |

| phlak_user | gkasinath: its probably a gui for gconf-editor | 06:15 |
| faisal | greezmunkey i did double click and it is opened | 06:15 |
| bazhang | nomnex, what about removing and updating, then re-adding the PPA and updating once more | 06:15 |
| soreau | Raaagh: Explain exactly what you did to 'setup' those effects | 06:15 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: ok, click the Extract button, archive manager will open a "file save" dialog box. Keep the default location, your desktop (for now) | 06:15 |
| Raaagh | Sorea: Sure, I clicked on "Animations", and selected the "open" tab, clicked on "magic lamp". but when I open problems they just appear without an animation | 06:16 |
| nomnex | bazhang, I just need to re-import the key, I can do that when it is keyserver.ubuntu.com, but that does not work with the debian server | 06:16 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, gnome-control-center seems to be a one screen for the ubuntu *menu*. I dont find anything there that can help me :( gconf-editor hacking did not help either | 06:16 |
| faisal | okay i did that greezmunkey | 06:16 |
| nahar | Help !, I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help. how can i get it ? | 06:16 |

| soreau | Raaagh: Can you please supply a screenshot of that window where you 'clicked on "magic lamp"' ? | 06:16 |
| bazhang | nomnex, I would do as I just suggested | 06:16 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: out of curiosity, do you want the gnome-panel to extend across both screens? | 06:16 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: you should see a folder there, go into it, and open up the README file | 06:16 |
| jimmyz80 | Yey fixed ty for suggestions | 06:17 |
| faisal | greezmunkey i did open the readme now | 06:17 |
| DaftPyramid | My PC has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200, how can I get decent 3D acceleration? | 06:17 |
| soreau | Raaagh: The check boxes there if randomize animations is enabled (off by default) and you need to set the effect with a valid window match set | 06:17 |
| nomnex | bazhang, i will try my luck on the gnupgp channel, thanks anyway. | 06:17 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, not really. I need a separate panel with window list applet for its respective screen. | 06:17 |
| jimmyz80 | I dunno DaftPyramid, i find the default mesa drivers seem to work better than fglrx for me | 06:18 |
| DaftPyramid | jimmyz80: mesa? | 06:18 |
| jimmyz80 | tried fglrx and the performance looked choppier to me | 06:18 |
| greezmunkey | faisal: read the entire file twice, then go through it again, making sure you have all of the "dependancies" in place on your system. After you are sure of all of that, then go through the installation proceedure. | 06:18 |
| jimmyz80 | isnt that the name of it | 06:18 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: and it is a separate screen as far as X is concerned? like DISPLAY=0.1 ? | 06:18 |
| jimmyz80 | maybe i mistype | 06:18 |
| Raaagh | sorea, nah not easily. Do you have compiz installed? | 06:18 |
| DaftPyramid | with the free Radeon drivers, I get no 3D whatsoever | 06:18 |

| DaftPyramid | Back in the Windows days, I could do some mild 3D gaming with this card, now 3D games crash instantly | 06:24 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, what should that output mean to me?! Can you explain it? | 06:25 |
| DaftPyramid | This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to acquire an older version of some driver that supports my card properly? | 06:26 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: display 0.0 is the default one, 0.1 should be the second screen and 1.0 should be the second display; i was keen to know if youve got two separate displays or one display and two screens | 06:26 |
| gkasinath | daftpyramid - no such thing as a stupid question. What's your card again? | 06:27 |
| DaftPyramid | gkasinath: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 | 06:27 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: i remember we used to do this on a Sun Solaris using xinerama some moons back | 06:27 |
| gkasinath | daftpyramid - Shot in the dark - Have you tried envy?! | 06:27 |
| DaftPyramid | gkasinath: No, I've never even heard of that | 06:28 |
| phlak_user | DaftPyramid: not unless you change the kernel too (or recompile the old source code against the new kernel) | 06:28 |
| greezmunkey | DaftPyramid: start here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.16.20.html | 06:28 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user, Hhmm.. with the new 10.04 way of doing the magic without xorg-conf, I m having trouble understanding where my settings are. :( | 06:28 |
| DaftPyramid | phlak_user: oh, ok, I won't be doing that | 06:28 |
| gurjeet | I am trying to reset my root password. I started Ubuntu 9.10 in recovery mode from the GRUB menu, but at a subsequent screen it is still asking for root passwrod!!! Is the Ubuntu runlevel 1 broken? | 06:29 |
| sensae | Can someone help me with Xinerama and dual monitors? Setting my secondary monitor higher than my primary results in icons off the screen and panels I can't see. | 06:29 |
| DaftPyramid | greezmunkey: I installed fglrx via Synaptic, but now I get the VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED error. | 06:30 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: another old way of doing it is appending the word single to the end of the kernel line; it should drop you into the root shell | 06:30 |
| phlak_user | gkasinath: sensae is all yours :0 | 06:30 |
| gkasinath | daftpyramid - Envy is here https://launchpad.net/envy. But hey, I dont know if it will work for you though | 06:30 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: I think thats what the recovery option has at the end of kernel line | 06:31 |
| nomnex | bazhang, I got the key back, case solved (the easy way). | 06:31 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user - :) aye capt'n! | 06:31 |
| DaftPyramid | gkasinath: ok, I'll look into it, thanks | 06:31 |
| gkasinath | Hey Sensae | 06:31 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - What's your video card? | 06:31 |
| sensae | nVidia GTX 260 | 06:31 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: if you press e on that option in grub, you might be able toconfirm | 06:31 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - Awesome! have you installed the restricted drivers? | 06:32 |
| sensae | gkasinath: Yes. | 06:32 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - okie.. if you have any instances of the settings application running, close them now. | 06:33 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: yes.. the recovery mode's kernel line _does_ have single at the end.. not I am going to reboot by editing the normal GRUB entry and adding single to it.. | 06:33 |
| earthling | dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Status}\n' "*" but no status 'upgrade' is not shown and I know I have 52 packages to upgrade... i want to list them via cli | 06:33 |

| sensae | gkasinath: I'm dropped to shell, I stopped gdm. | 06:33 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - uumm.. didnt really have to do that.. can you go back to gnome with only one monitor? | 06:34 |
| DaftPyramid | It appears as though Envy is not supported for Ubuntu 10.04 | 06:34 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: ok let us know if that works | 06:34 |
| phlak_user | !nv | 06:34 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:34 |
| gkasinath | daftpyramid - Thanks for that. I used it eons ago on my notebook with ATI Raedon 340M. | 06:34 |
| JHon^ | hey guys i just recently removed ubuntu from my pc and used easy bcd to rewrite my mbr now whenever i try and intall a distro the grub wont show i mean it gets installed without any error but i just dont see the grub it just booting windows is there a way to fix this | 06:34 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - uumm you there buddy?! | 06:35 |
| DaftPyramid | gkasinath: It says to use Jockey instead, but that doesn't seem as polished | 06:35 |
| sensae | gkasinath: I could.. but I've been working for 20 minutes on this xorg.conf, it's a rather complicated setup. I have one monitor rotated 90 degrees and higher than my primary, and I'm running xinerama. The screens are located where I want them but nautilus puts my icons too high | 06:35 |
| phlak_user | JHon^: you need to either install grub on mbr or make the ubuntu boot partition bootable | 06:35 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: nope.. even that lead me to the "Recovery Menu" screen with 4 options, and when I choose "root Drop to root shell prompt" it says: "Give root password for maintenance (Control D to continue)" | 06:36 |
| JHon^ | alrite i'll try that | 06:36 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - I have not encountered this problem. I've two screens one 22" wide (1650 something res) and another 20" normal (1280 something res). | 06:36 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: This is all heppening in VirtualBox VM | 06:36 |
| sensae | gkasinath: Is one screen physically located above the other? | 06:37 |
| gkasinath | sensae - Having said that, It could be the offset difference between the two screens you've got. | 06:37 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - no. | 06:37 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: oh ok; what happens if you press ctl-d? | 06:37 |
| justin22885 | you guys know when you format an external storage device to a linux partition type you have the option of taking permission of that filesystem? | 06:37 |
| sensae | That is the problem I'm having. Offsetting my taller monitor because it's higher than my primary makes nautilus draw my icons above my main display | 06:37 |
| phlak_user | justin22885: ok | 06:37 |
| ausnomer | holy crap, Canonical professional support for home users is 138 pounds per year..... you can replace most netbooks for that! | 06:37 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: back to the "Recovery Menu" screen with those 4 options :( | 06:37 |
| tarikk | hey guys. i hav a usb device thats not being detected | 06:38 |
| tarikk | unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 | 06:38 |
| ausnomer | why isn't there a canonical "low paid indian tech support" option? | 06:38 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - I may not be able to help you, bud. But out of curiosity, what's the position set on the primary and secondary? | 06:38 |
| tarikk | what can i do | 06:38 |
| bazhang | ausnomer, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:39 |
| sensae | gkasinath: It wouldn't move the secondary so I moved the primary. Secondary is to the right of primary, rotated 90 CW, primary is shifted 550 pixels down | 06:39 |
| sensae | nautilus wants to draw my icons as if primary isn't shifted | 06:39 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: options are: "resume resume normal boot", "dpkg repair broken packages", "root ... mentioned above..", :xfix Try to fix X server" | 06:39 |
| justin22885 | i did that phiak_user and samba wont read or access the shares when that device is placed on another system | 06:39 |
| grahamrw | how do i turn off wobbly window effect(gnome) ? | 06:40 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: can you add this to the kernel line instead of single --> rw init=/bin/bash | 06:40 |
| deostroll | hi i use ubuntu 8.10. i can't install glib...when i do "sudo apt-get install build-essentials libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0-dev" it says couldn't find packages | 06:40 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - hhmm.. okie.. I checked my config.. side-by-side set up.. Both Pri and Secon are position absolute. But secondary is +1680+0 offset to primary. That is instead of left of/right of business. | 06:41 |
| grahamrw | deostroll: check your mirror | 06:41 |
| phlak_user | grahamrw: System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects-None | 06:41 |
| deostroll | grahamrw: how? | 06:41 |
| grahamrw | phlak_user: wrong answer dude. i dont want to turn off ALL visual effects. | 06:41 |
| grahamrw | just wobbly windows | 06:41 |
| phlak_user | grahamrw: ccsm | 06:41 |
| deostroll | does synaptic and apt-get use the same mirror...? | 06:41 |
| grahamrw | phlak_user: rgr. | 06:41 |
| bazhang | !ccsm > grahamrw | 06:42 |
| ubottu | grahamrw, please see my private message | 06:42 |
| gkasinath | Sensae - So.. doing a quick desk check.. I figured that if you'd had to set your position for both absolute and offset the secondary to +0+xxxx (where xxxx is the y resolution of pri) it *er.. might* work?! | 06:42 |
| grahamrw | deostroll: system > admin > software sources | 06:42 |
| gkasinath | !ccsm > gkasinath | 06:42 |
| ubottu | gkasinath, please see my private message | 06:42 |
| grahamrw | deostroll: try a different mirror | 06:42 |
| grahamrw | i know in arch linux if you dont have a very authentic mirror you wont see any packages | 06:43 |
| DaftPyramid | gkasinath: apparently Jockey is what Ubuntu already uses, and that said there were no proprietary drivers available for my card | 06:43 |
| phlak_user | !compiz-configuration-settings-manager | 06:43 |
| sensae | gkasinath: Yeah.. and I've got that bit working, to offset it I'd need to do -550+1680, it won't let me do - so I move primary down instead | 06:43 |
| gkasinath | daftpyramid - Oh okie.. Sorry about that mate. :( | 06:43 |
| DaftPyramid | I refuse to believe that there simply aren't any drivers for my card | 06:44 |
| gkasinath | sensae - Sorry bud, I guess I m wasting your time by suggesting things you've already tried... time to call the big guns over.. | 06:44 |
| gkasinath | phlak_user,sensae - Phlak_user - I've tried but not been able to help Sensae, can you help please? | 06:44 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: thanks.. that worked.. | 06:45 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: yw | 06:45 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: I am sorry but I didn't understand that "yw".. | 06:45 |
| deostroll | grahamrw: isn't ther a shell based way to get best mirror... | 06:45 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: yw -> you're welcome | 06:45 |
| gurjeet | :) | 06:46 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: IMHO Ubuntu recovery mode is broken then.. | 06:46 |
| phlak_user | gurjeet: or they made it safer ?\ | 06:46 |
| gurjeet | phlak_user: a bit too safe to be usable by even a hacker !!! single mode is supposed to work on all linux distros.. but no .. | 06:47 |

| justin22885 | docteh, im looking to distance myself from things like windows | 07:36 |
| justin22885 | heh, i even put linux on my router | 07:36 |
| Keiyentai | thats what I am trying to do. Get rid of Windows. | 07:36 |
| Docteh | I'd go with ext4 personally, jfs reiserfs xfs all acted stupid when something goes wrong | 07:37 |
| Keiyentai | my problem is I cant figure out how I want to tweak my Ubuntu system | 07:37 |
| justin22885 | i had an issue earlier, when i formatted the harddrive with ext3, i accidently took permission of the filesystem while creating it, though i could mount it from the root console in openwrt, i could not access it through samba... i have to recreate the filesystem.. ill probably format with fdisk this time | 07:37 |
| justin22885 | make a linux partition with fdisk then use mkefs ext4 or whatever the command is | 07:38 |
| Docteh | ext3 you can change permissions on anything | 07:38 |
| Docteh | mkfs.ext4 <-- i like this pattern | 07:38 |
| === yorick is now known as Guest57882 | ||
| justin22885 | i could change permissions of the files, not the filesystem itself.. i know its odd, but it wouldnt even let me mount the device unless i was root | 07:38 |

| tyler__ | Guest54205: Um, I'm not sure you would want to download a program to learn C++. Try a book instead. | 07:40 |
| Docteh | justin22885: ubuntu has a special handler that lets you mount file systems that dont have permissions as a user, so fat32 or ntfs is the way to go if thats 100% required | 07:40 |

| ausnomer | so needed to install grub on the sdb | 08:58 |
| ktne | i have only 9.4 media | 08:58 |
| jayvee | ktne: I recommend installing 10.04 directly, although you can upgrade 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 | 08:58 |
| jayvee | ktne: you can't upgrade 9.04 -> 10.04 | 08:58 |
| nickee | phlak_user: do you work for ubuntu/canonical, or are you just hanging & helpin here? | 08:58 |
| ktne | jayvee: i see, can i do it entirely online? | 08:58 |
| jayvee | ktne: (by the way, it's 9.04, not 9.4) :) | 08:58 |
| ktne | jayvee: ah, 9.04 | 08:58 |
| jayvee | ktne: yes, in fact you have to do it online | 08:58 |

| KhaZ | Hello - I've just finished an install of Ubuntu using the alternate installer, setting up my raid and lvm partitions. When I reboot however, it seems to be sensing my 'fake raid', which I'm trying to avoid. I'm trying to find the place to add 'nodmraid' to the grub config, but there doesn't seem to be a /boot/grub/menu.lst after the install is done | 08:59 |
| jayvee | phlak_user: lol, that hidd command from the article you linked says "Can't get device information: Success" | 08:59 |
| jayvee | some irony there | 08:59 |
| KhaZ | Is there a different way of updating menu.lst in 10.04? I get a directory with a bunch of files, but nothing that resembles menu.lst | 09:00 |
| jayvee | KhaZ: you want to edit /etc/default/grub, I think | 09:00 |
| jayvee | KhaZ: edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line | 09:00 |
| jayvee | KhaZ: and then run sudo update-grub | 09:00 |

| rtubio | I am not goign to discuss about this, but every disk has a partitions table | 12:04 |
| phlak_user | llutz: but thats just me | 12:04 |
| rtubio | and every partition | 12:04 |
| rtubio | has to follow a format | 12:04 |
| llutz | phlak_user: "Is there any reason not to format an entire usb storage device, f.ex. /dev/sdc?" <- that was the question | 12:04 |
| owenll | !grub2 | 12:05 |
| 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 | 12:05 |
| rtubio | that format is the type of the partition, e.g., fat, ntfs, jfs... | 12:05 |
| rtubio | and it is the way files are split into blocks of bytes and stored on the physical disk | 12:05 |
| rtubio | a filesystem provides a way of working with files | 12:06 |
| theadmin | I want to write a script/crontab line which would send some mail to me every now and then, prefferably taken from a file, which app can fullfil that? sendmail doesn't seem to work as I expect, it didn't send anything | 12:06 |
| rtubio | without bothering about blocks of bytes | 12:06 |
| rtubio | ... | 12:06 |
| llutz | theadmin: mailx | 12:06 |
| rtubio | phlak_user: have you found the link? | 12:06 |
| theadmin | rtubio: Heh, I knew a guy who just did "cat somevideofile > /dev/sr0" and then "mplayer /dev/sr0" without bothering about the filesystem :D | 12:06 |
| theadmin | llutz: Thanks | 12:06 |
| Steve^ | How can I find out if my DVD drive writes to DVD+R or DVD-R? | 12:07 |
| llutz | Steve^: cdrecord -prcap | 12:07 |
| theadmin | ubottu: find mailx | 12:07 |
| ohir | Steve^: it is printed on drive bay ;) | 12:07 |
| owenll | is there any advantage to upgrade from grub legacy to grub2. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 that has been upgraded from previous versions, so grub2 is not installed. | 12:07 |
| rtubio | ok, you can always read and write in "raw" over a disk | 12:07 |
| Steve^ | thanks llutz | 12:07 |
| jarlg_ | rtubio, llutz: I formatted /dev/sdc and the device mounts properly, if that indicates anything. | 12:07 |
| rtubio | i guess... | 12:07 |
| rtubio | if you format a disk | 12:08 |
| rtubio | then the partitions table | 12:08 |
| rtubio | contains a single entry | 12:08 |
| llutz | jarlg_: it won't cause any trouble | 12:08 |
| Steve^ | ohir, actually my drive says DVD+R DL, but googling makes it seem like it also does DVD-R and lshw is a bit misleading, only showing DVD-R | 12:08 |
| oCean_ | rtubio: could you drop the discussion? | 12:08 |
| ohir | Steve^: it was ';)' | 12:08 |
| rtubio | and that single entry has a filesystem XX format | 12:08 |
| hxing | what's the difference | 12:08 |
| phlak_user | rtubio: hangon | 12:08 |
| rtubio | yes... sorry | 12:08 |
| theadmin | owenll: Honestly, no, grub2 is too complicated and weird... faster though | 12:08 |
| Steve^ | cdrecord also only says DVD-R :( | 12:09 |
| owenll | theadmin: thanks | 12:09 |
| llutz | jarlg_: btw, other OS might not work this way. i only refer to unixoid-OS | 12:09 |
| LjL | hmw: a VBR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Boot_Record | 12:09 |
| hmw | thanks | 12:09 |
| jarlg_ | llutz: It's properly detected by my windows installation, also, if that's what you mean. | 12:09 |
| ohir | Steve^: drive hw can be capable on both but firmware prevents it. IBM was known to do that. | 12:10 |
| kimiskov | Any suggestion for a app that will turn down CPU fan noise? | 12:10 |
| llutz | jarlg_: ok then | 12:10 |
| ohir | Steve^: you may look for firmware upgrade using drive symbols | 12:10 |
| theadmin | llutz: that mailx asks for a domain name, I assume "gmail.com" is the one i need in my situation. Would this be right? | 12:10 |
| llutz | theadmin: i don't know your setup | 12:11 |
| theadmin | llutz: Neither do I to be honest, it's my first attempt to work with mail from cli | 12:11 |
| llutz | ohir: many companies didn't want to pay the +R license-fee, so they limited their firmwares | 12:11 |
| Steve^ | ohir, drive symbols? | 12:11 |

| qm7 | the bot doesn't know about it | 12:17 |
| llutz | phlak_user: it doesn't | 12:17 |
| llutz | phlak_user: e.g. it shows "linux" which could be everything | 12:17 |
| phlak_user | llutz: yes you're right of course, it doesnt specify ext3 or 4 etc | 12:18 |

| mAritz | hey, i'm trying to launch a command with `sg groupname command`, however it always asks for a password. if i enter the password, it just says "Invalid password.". Initially I had an empty password set, but seeing the "invalid errors" message, i changed it via `sudo gpasswd groupname` and tried again. still no luck. changed again, still not. what's wrong? | 12:23 |
| rtubio | diff's output is null... anyway I'll try and I'll come back | 12:23 |
| rtubio | does anybody know how to reload that firmware without rebooting? | 12:23 |
| phlak_user | rtubio: you unload the module and load it again; it will look for the firmware when loading again | 12:24 |
| theadmin | rtubio: modprobe mainly | 12:24 |
| rtubio | thanks | 12:25 |
| theadmin | mAritz: I think you need to use sudo sg .... | 12:25 |
| mAritz | oh, ok :) | 12:25 |
| mAritz | yep, thanks | 12:26 |
| Miski | hi guys, i just have a question about something called "keyring", everytime i log in it asks for a password, if i ignore it, i can't connect to internet | 12:26 |
| marienz | wireless connection? | 12:26 |
| Miski | yep | 12:26 |
| Ravious | You can set it to remember your password so you dont have to enter it every time. | 12:26 |
| phlak_user | !keyring | 12:26 |
| marienz | it's remembering the password you need for that for you, but encrypted. Ideally it'd be encrypted with your login password, so just logging in unlocks the wireless password. | 12:27 |
| phlak_user | !info seahorse | 12:27 |
| ubottu | seahorse (source: seahorse): GNOME front end for GnuPG. In component main, is optional. Version 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 640 kB, installed size 8608 kB | 12:27 |
| marienz | it's possible for the two to go out of sync. It'll also stop working if you don't enter your password to log in (use gdm's autologin) | 12:27 |
| Miski | ok thanks guys, i'll give it a try | 12:28 |
| marienz | Miski: which password(s) are you entering? Do you enter your login password to log in or not? Is the password prompt you're complaining about for the same password or a different one? | 12:28 |
| Solii | Hey probably more of a grub question although.. Anyone know how win7 uses the Driver signing thing.. And u can get past it by booting into win7 with it disabled, is there a way grub can do that for you automatically? | 12:28 |
| Miski | i have set ubuntu not ask for a password for login | 12:28 |
| marienz | Miski: I encountered the same thing then. | 12:29 |
| marienz | Miski: well, pretty much the same thing. In this case it was evolution that'd ask for the password, to unlock the passwords it uses to access my mail. | 12:29 |
| marienz | that prompt went away when I re-enabled the regular login password prompt. | 12:29 |
| rtubio | i am still experiencing the same problem | 12:29 |
| rtubio | it didn't work | 12:29 |
| rtubio | do you want me to put here dmesg's output | 12:29 |
| rtubio | ? | 12:29 |
| oCean_ | rtubio: no, do not paste here | 12:30 |

| phlak_user | kimiskov: on some laptops you could control fan speed | 12:30 |
| Ravious | dont know about an app but you may be able to do it in the bios. | 12:31 |

| DavidJHeinrich1 | I was asking about Tiling in Ubuntu / Compiz a while ago | 13:58 |
| LouisJB | wise_crypt: using apt-cache I can't locate any sun java6 jdk packages, does that mean one isn't available for the very latest Ubuntu yet? | 13:58 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | I found a great plugin for compiz, called "Grid" | 13:58 |
| histo | HaRiTh: this room is for ubuntu support | 13:58 |
| DavidJHeinrich1 | it allows u to autoposition windows on right, left, top, bottom, and all 4 quadrants of the screen (and also to center), by pressing CTRL + ALT + 1-9 on the keypad | 13:59 |
| wise_crypt | LouisJB: sudo apt-cache search java ? | 13:59 |
| LjL | LouisJB: it's in the Partner repositories, which have to be manually enabled | 13:59 |
| LouisJB | yeah, can't see a sun jdk in there, let me check again though | 13:59 |
| LouisJB | oh right ok | 13:59 |
| LouisJB | can that be done from the cmd line easily? | 13:59 |
| vijayv | stefg: that did not help. Nothing new was installed :( searching for this issue on www resulted in suggestions to disable ipv6 but I am not seeing any of the config files listed to do this | 14:00 |

Then, if I start a program that uses more CPU my chassis2 fan starts running with same speed as chassis1 fan, and at the same time CPU fan speed drops again!

| LjL | LouisJB: uh, apt-get and dpkg are different things... dpkg installs an *already downloaded* package and doesn't resolve dependencies. apt-get downloads and resolves dependencies, and then *calls dpkg* to install | 14:24 |

| slimjimflim | ManDay: what command are you using to see if it 'exists' | 14:44 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: /dev/sd* are block devices | 14:44 |

| theadmin | histo: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en - Torbutton seems broken. Manually configuring does not work, to be precise on port 95.. something it says "Authenication required" and on port 8118 it does not connect | 14:45 |
| ManDay | Wursti, i dont understand how can the "device" itsself choose to remove a spefiic partition from the block layer? | 14:45 |
| ManDay | sorry wuu2731 | 14:45 |
| visof_ | please anyone help me | 14:45 |
| visof_ | how can i add freebsd that is at /dev/sda2 to my grub2 ?? | 14:45 |
| histo | theadmin: I had to box with it for a while to get it working. Can't remember what I did to get torbutton working. TOr worked it was just issues with tor button. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor | 14:46 |

| ManDay | wuu2731, but as I said it does ONLY remove a specific partion namely sdc1 - sdc remains there | 14:46 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: oh... | 14:47 |
| llutz | theadmin: what does "sudo lsof -i :9050"say? how did you configure your browser? | 14:47 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: now that's strange | 14:47 |
| histo | visof_: you can manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg if the prober isn't finding it. | 14:47 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, thanks that we agree | 14:47 |
| theadmin | llutz: Nothing on 9050, it's on 9051 according to Vidalia | 14:47 |
| visof_ | histo i'm installing grub2 but when i boot i can't get any grub menu, jsut dig into ubuntu directly | 14:48 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: can you check by "cat /proc/partitions" if sdc1 is still reported? | 14:48 |
| llutz | theadmin: then: what does "sudo lsof -i :9051"say? how did you configure your browser? | 14:48 |
| visof_ | histo even i'm installnig freebsd too | 14:48 |
| militant | i'm about to go googling around, but in the past i haven't had much luck getting a ps3 controller to work in linux. anyone done so? | 14:48 |
| theadmin | llutz: How did I configure it? Just put 127.0.0.1:9051 as proxy | 14:48 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, http://codepad.org/YEE0unTB | 14:48 |
| llutz | theadmin: it has to be a SOCKS proxy | 14:48 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, one sec | 14:48 |

| llutz | theadmin: sock v5 | 14:49 |
| llutz | socks | 14:49 |
| histo | visof_: hold shift | 14:49 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, in /cat/partitions sdc1 is not listed | 14:49 |
| ManDay | neither is sdc | 14:49 |
| histo | visof_: grub2 defaults to no menu | 14:49 |
| histo | visof_: holding shift will bring up menu | 14:49 |
| theadmin | llutz: Bah. "514 Authentication required." | 14:49 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: then the whole device disconnected itself | 14:49 |
| ManDay | but sdc is still listed in /dev/ as you can see wuu2731 | 14:50 |
| ManDay | http://codepad.org/YEE0unTB | 14:50 |
| visof_ | histo, can i make it bring the menu without anything "make the default" ? | 14:50 |
| userone | is ext4 stable now? i have a 1TB hdd to format, which is the best linux fs to use? | 14:50 |
| theadmin | userone: It's stable | 14:50 |
| histo | visof_: huh? | 14:50 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: entries in /dev/ do not necessarily represent the real partitions | 14:50 |
| visof_ | histo nothing, i created 10_freebsd at /etc/grub.d | 14:51 |
| llutz | theadmin: use "socks v5 127.0.0.1:9050" | 14:51 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: the kernel's view is /proc/partitions | 14:51 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, what does /dev/sdc represent then? | 14:51 |
| histo | visof_: yes edit your /etc/default/grub file and change the timeout values | 14:51 |
| llutz | theadmin: you're trying to connect the tor-controlport | 14:51 |
| userone | theadmin: thanks, i read some posts online but that was a while ago. better start formatting, may take a while with 1TB! | 14:51 |
| bobo123 | where do the configurations go when I share a folder with the filemanager since they don't end up in /etc/samba/smb.conf ? | 14:52 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: /dev/sdc is the whole drive, not a specific partition of it. i don't know why udevd leaves /dev/sdc when sdc is actually removed in /proc/partitions | 14:52 |
| theadmin | llutz: It appears you have configured your web browser to use Tor as an HTTP proxy. This is not correct: Tor is a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy. Please configure your client accordingly. ... bleh I'm stupid | 14:52 |

| Krishnandu | so that I can follow?? | 14:52 |

| BluesKaj | visof_, you can also comment Hidden Menu in /etc/default/grub/ with a#, that will enable the visual menu | 14:52 |
| Krishnandu | Guys is there any official Ubuntu a/c on Twitter?? | 14:53 |

| theadmin | llutz: Thanks a lot, you saved the day | 14:53 |
| Krishnandu | Guys is there any official Ubuntu a/c on Twitter?? | 14:54 |
| wuu2731 | ManDay: it should be removed like sdc1, i don't know why udevd does not remove it | 14:54 |
| visof_ | BluesKaj, there are GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIT=True | 14:54 |
| ManDay | wuu2731, any idea how to figure out what udevd "thinks" it is? | 14:54 |
| visof_ | BluesKaj, which one should i comment ? | 14:54 |

| theadmin | llutz: Can I use torbutton? Manually configuring/deconfiguring it every time seems to be a bleh idea | 14:55 |

| BluesKaj | hotfloppy, have you run sudo update-grub ,and does it include your windows partition | 15:09 |
| G1itch3D | hotfloppy: what I had to do befor, was use my live disk and just backup my data and reinstall | 15:09 |
| stefg | hotfloppy: not a question of what you shouldn't have done... just a technical one. | 15:09 |
| realubot | ActionParsnip: I use Vimperator and that gives me a pretty clean and usefull interference, but It would be great to use Fx in fullscreen without hiding the panels at the same time, almost like maximizing but not exactly. | 15:09 |

| BluesKaj | hotfloppy, open a terminal and do sudo update-grub , first of all | 15:11 |
| deostroll | stefg, but isn't there any work around for this...? | 15:11 |
| G1itch3D | hotfloppy: you would need to take a live disk, and go into ubuntu and mount you're linux partitions, and backup to and external HDD, or just a flash drive | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | deostroll: the apt session locks the packages so multiple parograms cannot access the same packages and cause possible issues | 15:11 |

| linux | i want to add sound effects to my ubuntu not from system>pref>sound because it does not add sound to events such as minimise, maximise,close,errors menu etc | 16:10 |
| U236Willy | FriedrichMan: the best thing i can tell you is to 'lspci -v' and find the particular device and then google the exact name for pro drivers. | 16:10 |

| linux | i want to add sound effects to my ubuntu not from system>pref>sound because it does not add sound to events such as minimise, maximise,close,errors menu etc | 16:11 |
| FriedrichMan | U236Willy the device plugs via usb | 16:11 |
| durt | compengi, it's a kernel function IIRC so both. | 16:12 |
| U236Willy | oh ok | 16:12 |
| U236Willy | FriedrichMan: 'lsusb' | 16:12 |
| linux | Nickzhou, i want to add sound effects to my ubuntu not from system>pref>sound because it does not add sound to events such as minimise, maximise,close,errors menu etc | 16:12 |
| U236Willy | you can also use 'lsusb -v' and that produces A LOT of info. | 16:13 |
| FriedrichMan | U236Willy: it's not in the list | 16:13 |
| compengi | durt, no it's not. kernel has couple cpu options, but it doesn't switch automatically the cpu from using the lowest frequency to the highest depending on acpi state | 16:14 |

| guntbert | theadmin: look for userPref("network.proxy.http", "......"); | 16:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | grkblood, "mplayer -ao null -vo jpeg $FILENAME" is one way to dump a video to jpg (not sure about dropped frames etc), good luck. | 16:14 |

| ubottu | astyguy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 16:14 |
| [CM] | anyone know whats the best irc client for ubuntu? im using KONVERSATION on Ubunutu its ok, but I dont know how its logging works | 16:14 |
| rocket16 | Sorry, I mean, where is the Empathy theme directory? | 16:15 |
| astyguy | it is an ubuntu project ??? | 16:15 |
| rocket16 | !best | [CM] | 16:15 |
| ubottu | [CM]: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:15 |
| llutz | theadmin: you should know WHAT to change in that file... | 16:15 |
| [CM] | true rocket16 | 16:15 |
| linux | [CM], xchat | 16:15 |
| guntbert | astyguy: this channel is strictly for support - #ubuntu-offtopic may be better suited | 16:16 |
| rocket16 | [CM]: If you use Ubuntu (Gnome), you can use Xchat | 16:16 |
| U236Willy | FriedrichMan: ummm... well... you can try to see if HAL recognized it at all by typing 'lshal | grep -i devicename' (e.g. 'lshal | grep -i logitech' works to find my keyboard/mouse setup) | 16:16 |
| astyguy | but it is not off topic | 16:16 |

| linux | SirRedTooth, u can try to copy past from the program file to the wine program file | 16:19 |
| markhole | SirRedTooth, basically, I just took the directory from the Program Files on the windows partition and put it in wine's Program Files. | 16:19 |
| rocket16 | bihari: Use Turbo on dosemu. Or, you can use gcc | 16:19 |
| bihari | sudo apt-get install build-essential << what this command will do? | 16:19 |

| Jowi | coz_, I will need to remove it for all users though. If I remove it from only the current session it's not good enough | 16:28 |
| bihari | shud i say yes? | 16:28 |

| home-labs | felon, the gfs.exe is a windows executable. u may be able to run it under wine if you are lucky | 16:51 |
| lucas71 | hello everybody | 16:51 |
| rocket16 | sohail: It seems, as if there is some problem in configuration. The log snippet you attached is just syslogd which restarts every 24 hours, it is only the syslogd daemon that restarts not the computer. It looks like there may be something wrong with syslogd | 16:51 |
| home-labs | felon try apt-get install wine and then double click it | 16:51 |
| lucas71 | could you tell me one thing... | 16:51 |

| felon | The file '/media/Grant Funding So/gfs.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. | 16:52 |

| rmatte | ok, so I just upgraded to lucid from gutsy, and I had syslog-ng installed. When it installed originally it installed with the --enable-spoof-source config option. Now, when I go to start it after the upgrade I see: "Error enabling spoof-source, you need to compile syslog-ng with --enable-spoof-source". When I check in /usr/local/src/syslog-ng-3.0.3/tgz2build/rules I can see that --enable-spoof-source is already a config option listed... | 17:15 |

| bazhang | rmatte, there is not a one-step upgrade for gutsy to lucid, perhaps you mean lts to lts (8.04 to 10.04) | 17:18 |
| Guest94747 | wise_crypt: what with that link? theres some search results about compiz. i dont have compiz installed | 17:18 |
| markhole | Christos, no prob! come back if you have any more questions | 17:19 |
| rmatte | bazhang: yeh, from LTS to LTS | 17:19 |
| rmatte | 8.04 to 10.04 | 17:19 |
| wise_crypt | Guest94747: i think compiz is ship(installed) by default | 17:19 |
| augustl | is there a way to uninstall the packages installed with a apt-get build-dep? | 17:19 |
| Guest94747 | wise_crypt: i have xubuntu couse when i installed ubuntu i had this problem and i thought its becouse computer isnt anymore good enought for ubuntu so i clean installed xubuntu | 17:20 |
| rmatte | bazhang: any ideas on resolving the issue? | 17:20 |
| bazhang | rmatte, so its enabled, and just giving a warning? or erroring out and unresponsive; I'm not much help with servers, so you may wish to repeat in a while, and there is #ubuntu-server as well | 17:20 |
| wise_crypt | Guest94747: have try #xubuntu | 17:20 |
| userone | my external hdd shows up in /media as 'Elements'. so will this work? sudo fdisk /media/Elements > n > p > 1 > w. sudo mkfs -t ext4 /media/Elements. sudo tune2fs -m 1 /media/Elements | 17:21 |
| Guest94747 | wise_crypt: this problem is for hardware. specially for me its happening on using YT in chrome. | 17:21 |

| foo_fighter | does anyone know a screenlet for scrolling rss? | 17:21 |
| wise_crypt | Guest94747: same here | 17:21 |
| Christos | markhole, will do :) | 17:22 |
| rmatte | bazhang: basically, according to the aptitude rules file for building the package (syslog-ng), it should have been compiled with the --enable-source-spoof option which would have enabled source spoofing in syslog-ng. When syslog-ng is started it's giving a warning that it wasn't compiled with that option | 17:22 |
| rmatte | and I need that option | 17:22 |
| rmatte | so I need to know how to force aptitude to use that config option | 17:22 |
| wise_crypt | Guest94747: the script told me "The program glxinfo is needed to perform a number of crucial tests" | 17:22 |
| foo_fighter | could anyone help me? | 17:22 |

| KhaZ | Ack. So, I'm new to ubuntu, but I want to reinstall screen (it's complaining about /var/run/screen not existing, and I'm hoping a reinstall will fix it). Running 'sudo apt-get remove screen' tells me that it's going to remove ubuntu-desktop, boxee, byobu AND screen. Why is it trying to remove stuff I want? | 18:12 |
| russss | ok, I need to create a bootable ubuntu usb storage device, and I only have a mac to do it with. Is it impossible? | 18:12 |
| mcce11 | Can anyone help me if the built-in network card doesn't work? | 18:12 |
| Docteh | KhaZ: just sudo mkdir /var/run/screen ;-; | 18:12 |
| KhaZ | russss: I had trouble trying to do that. Some people have reported htat with wine and unetbootin i t can be done. | 18:13 |
| mcce11 | I can't bring up wlan0 | 18:13 |
| russss | KhaZ: well, ubuntu-desktop depends on screen, but ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package so it won't do any harm | 18:13 |
| mcce11 | 'sudo ifup wlan0' returns an error. | 18:13 |
| russss | and byobu seems to be some screen-related thing too. | 18:13 |
| pianoboy3333 | How do I burn m4a's to a CD? Serpentine/Brasero won't allow me. I have all of my gstreamer plugins installed. SoundConverter won't let me convert them. | 18:13 |
| KhaZ | russss: Hrmm. But boxee is not virtual; and I'm unsure what byobu is. This is terrifying. | 18:14 |
| mcce11 | It bothers me that I have to use a USB adapter to get online when a functional adapter is built into my laptop. | 18:14 |
| KhaZ | Is there a way I can force a reinstall of screen? | 18:14 |
| russss | boxee is a weird one, not sure why it depends on screen | 18:14 |
| mcce11 | Can anyone help me? | 18:14 |
| KhaZ | russss: Could it be that it depends on ubuntu-desktop? | 18:14 |
| russss | oh, quite possibly. | 18:15 |
| Docteh | KhaZ: why dont you just make the directory that screen is asking for? | 18:15 |
| russss | apt-cache show boxee | grep -i depends | 18:15 |
| russss | will tell you. | 18:15 |
| gartral | russss: boxee wants screen so it can run the multi-task terminal out of vt "correctly" frankly, i think it's a bad setup | 18:15 |
| KhaZ | Docteh: I can do that, but I'm more just trying to understand what apt-get is up to for now. Making the directory is probably not a big deal, but I'm confused why on a new install of Ubuntu, screen wouldn't be working properly anyhow. | 18:15 |
| russss | crazy. | 18:15 |
| trism | KhaZ: byobu is just a screen profile, so it makes sense that it depends on screen | 18:15 |

| mcce11 | I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my internal wireless card. | 18:16 |
| KhaZ | Ah; ok, fair enough. I suppose I'll go about manually fixing screen. I come from Gentoo land where I can usually just force a reinstall of the package if things go screwy, and nothing upstream gets wiped. | 18:16 |
| Docteh | mcce11: you should ask a question involving the error or w/e that the internal doesn't work, and specify which one | 18:16 |

| wygrzmot | podaj nk | 18:41 |
| Docteh | mfpcokets: htop is pretty cool as well since everyone is suggesting system monitor ;) | 18:41 |
| mfpcokets | the cpu usage shows like 40 % but its all the actual monitor juicing that | 18:41 |
| rocket16 | mfpcokets: Also, you can use Ksysgurad in Kubuntu | 18:41 |
| mfpcokets | but when i use the top command it shows im using 1.4gb of ram wheras system mon says im using 300mb | 18:42 |
| gothran | minimec: thx, case sensitive problem Alchemy | 18:42 |
| Docteh | mfpcokets: different ways of measuring ram usage, 1.4gb includes stuff buffered from the hard drive | 18:43 |
| baxter_ | still can't locate where apt saves the *-doc packages to | 18:43 |
| Docteh | baxter_: /usr/share/docs also packages.ubuntu.com is handy for looking up what files a package provides | 18:44 |

| BlackDog10 | Hello! I can't play 1080 h.264 video (blue ray) in lucid lynx. I had no problem with the same system in windows. Also I am running an Intel E8400 with an ATI 4600 card. I do have X11 enabled as default in my players. I am trying vlc, media player, totem and gnome media player is the best. It usually plays okay in gnome but if there is alot of movement on the screen it freezes. The voices are fine (as long as I play it in gnome). | 18:58 |
| airtonix | Krishnandu, you're only option i think is to create custom gtk theme for it. (which isn't easy) | 18:58 |
| indio | Previous versions of Ubuntu did not autoload them. | 18:58 |
| Krishnandu | airtonix, hmm | 18:59 |
| Krishnandu | airtonix, leave it :P | 18:59 |

| ubottu | christos: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 20:11 |
| lnco6 | Assid, i would, lucid lynx looks a lot better now | 20:12 |
| coz_ | christos, all OS systems fragment however .. the way linux writes to the hard drive makes that nearly negligeable | 20:12 |

| totalNoob | i'll make one when I download ubuntu. 73% left. but I want to install XP and partition also... | 20:20 |
| EmoSpice | daemonTW: Not having a good run with it myself | 20:20 |
| daemonTW | check your md5, but i think you have to do a workaround to mount the usb during boot | 20:20 |
| daemonTW | i ended up using a cd :x | 20:20 |
| Omegamike | i honestly don't with puppy - i would doubt it is in the regular iso | 20:20 |
| Omegamike | but i am sure an ftp server could be installed | 20:20 |
| EmoSpice | I can't use a CD - it's for a netbook >_< | 20:20 |

| daemonTW | i did not get it to work with usb so no help here :( but there is a help page about it on the ubuntu ite | 20:21 |
| Black_Phantom | hey all, is there some kind an alternative for winamp for linux ? or is there an actual winamp for linux ? for streaming online radios and stuff | 20:21 |
| daemonTW | there are about a million audio players | 20:21 |
| EmoSpice | Black_Phantom: audacious, xmms, bmp | 20:21 |
| Omegamike | for an alternative to winamp try xmms, banshee | 20:21 |
| daemonTW | what are you looking for exactly | 20:21 |
| EmoSpice | me? | 20:21 |
| Omegamike | or even rhythmbox | 20:21 |
| Black_Phantom | EmoSpice, ok thanks | 20:21 |

| Swian | yeah I like RB | 20:21 |
| daemonTW | i've been using vlc and gxine | 20:22 |
| Omegamike | i love vlc for videos and stuff, but i don't like the way it organizes its media library | 20:22 |
| Omegamike | i think banshee and rb do a little better job if you are looking for an itunes replacement | 20:23 |
| Black_Phantom | daemonTW, not an ordinary player, for streaming online radios and stuff | 20:23 |
| daemonTW | i couldn't stand itunes so i wasn't looking for a reaplacement :) | 20:23 |
| EmoSpice | The USB boot page on the wiki wants me to use the live cd version, rather than the alternate installer. Which means I need to 1) redownload and 2) isntall a bunch of gnome stuff that I don't much want. If I can find out where I can mount my usb, I can just...continue through the installer. | 20:23 |
| Omegamike | miro works well for that too | 20:23 |
| Omegamike | ha, fair enough | 20:23 |
| hotfloppy | someone.. please.. erm.. lets say my box contains 3 os.. vista, ubuntu, kubuntu.. now mbr point to kubuntu partition coz im installing it after those other 2.. now i want to uninstall the kubuntu.. how could i fix the mbr so grub from ubuntu will load when i starting up my box ? lets say my vista is sda1, ubuntu is sda2, kubuntu is sda3... | 20:23 |
| daemonTW | for streaming i find gnome-mplayer pretty good, but vlc will do it as well | 20:23 |
| hotfloppy | T - T | 20:23 |
| daemonTW | well emo.. you can drop to the tty terminal during the alternate installer | 20:24 |
| EmoSpice | hotfloppy, delete kubuntu partition, boot live CD, reinstall grub to a different partition | 20:24 |
| daemonTW | that is where you would start | 20:24 |
| HandyGandy | Anyone familiar with google desktops? | 20:24 |
| EmoSpice | and I did - i have NO idea where it wants me to mount my usb drive | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | hotfloppy: boot to live CD and reinstall grub | 20:24 |
| daemonTW | yeah that's where i stalled :x | 20:24 |
| EmoSpice | I tried to mount it to /cdrom, but had some | 20:25 |
| Omegamike | usually it mounts usb devices in the /media | 20:25 |
| EmoSpice | 'mount failed; incorrect argument' issues | 20:25 |
| Omegamike | under the main filesystem | 20:25 |
| sllide | can anyone help me with my connection its slow like only 2B/s | 20:25 |
| hotfloppy | any live cd (ubuntu / kubuntu) will do ? | 20:25 |
| EmoSpice | yes - I'm talking about the install, not a regular ubuntu desktop | 20:25 |
| daemonTW | hmm | 20:25 |
| Omegamike | ohhh, gotcha | 20:25 |

I upgraded to 10.4 (while I did this the external HD wasn't swirch on) now there's two drives in Media Backup and a new one Backup_ I can't open or delete backup and bauckup_ is the wrong path name so prgrammes won@t find files on it. How can I delete Backupa nd change the name of backup_? TIA | 20:28 |
| EmoSpice | squishyy, You'll probably need to chroot into it | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | heheehhehee | 20:28 |
| EmoSpice | daemonTW, good thinking | 20:28 |
| daemonTW | then mount it as an image- mount -o loop /path/to/iso | 20:28 |
| EmoSpice | same as a net install >_> | 20:28 |
| augustl | http://sprunge.us/NFbG - why doesn't the entry at the bottom show up at the grub screen? | 20:28 |

| augustl | no errors are reported on either update-grub or grub-install | 20:28 |

| j3rg | was awesome | 20:34 |
| d3javu | xangua, uhmm 10.04, is it lucid? | 20:34 |
| abstrakt | lnco6, use a diff theme | 20:34 |

| j1G5aW | transmission works on cli ?? | 20:39 |
| abstrakt | ph0xide, check your bios, make sure it does a "thorough" boot/init and not a "quick" init | 20:40 |
| ph0xide | and beside bios thing is there anything else i should do | 20:40 |
| Sasquatch7 | anyone have some suggestions for a torrent application besides transmission? | 20:40 |
| brontosaurusrex | j1G5aW: it should, but i never really bothered | 20:40 |

| j1G5aW | will transmission allow? | 20:40 |

| BluesKaj | Sasquatch7, checkout deluge ...it's great for anonymity if you use the blocklist option | 20:44 |
| daemonTW | jmc- does the machine work okay before you hibernate it? | 20:44 |
| xangua | istvan: control+alt+t | 20:44 |
| Docteh | lol | 20:44 |
| Black_Phantom | they ruined the whole project | 20:44 |
| Sasquatch7 | BluesKaj: ok, thanks. | 20:44 |
| Jassonn | hi guys | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: are you using desktop effects? | 20:44 |
| jMCg | daemonTW: depends on whether or not I plug in an external monitor. | 20:44 |
| genoskill | I have swap in an extendes partition (sda6) can i move it to a primary partition? (sda3 for example) | 20:44 |
| Black_Phantom | !hi | Jassonn | 20:44 |
| ubottu | Jassonn: 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! | 20:44 |
| istvan | xangua: not working fo rme... | 20:44 |
| Docteh | jMCg: how new is that laptop? I have a friend that carried his laptop around on all the time just to get around issues with sleeping it. was kinda funny | 20:44 |
| toolbear | anybody know how to convert *.info files to html? | 20:44 |
| xangua | d3javu: there is an addon to do that i believe | 20:44 |
| daemonTW | gotta start somewhere :) | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | genoskill: why do you want to do that? | 20:44 |
| === viesturs is now known as wieshka | ||
| daemonTW | did you partition a swap drive? | 20:44 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: I'm not entirely sure -- this is my first time to use Gnome in a couple of years. I do have a transparent konsole, or terminal. I need that. Yes. | 20:45 |
| augustl | http://sprunge.us/NFbG - that's /boot/grub/grub.cfg - the bottom entry doesn't show up in the menu after a update-grub and grub-install. Why? | 20:45 |
| xangua | istvan: what about Alt+F2 ¿ | 20:45 |
| jMCg | daemonTW: of course. | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: if you press alt+f2 and type: metacity --replace is it ok? | 20:45 |
| Riddell | abstrakt, Black_Phantom: what problem are you having with KDE? | 20:45 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: that would requrie being able to type... I can do via SSH, I suppose. | 20:45 |
| genoskill | ActionParsnip for have only distros in my extended partition | 20:45 |
| daemonTW | lol | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: not sure there dude | 20:46 |
| matrixx_ | d3javu: there is an thunderbird-indicator plugin: "libnotify popups" | 20:46 |
| jMCg | Docteh: it's fairly new. I bought it last week, I think it went public around september or december last year. | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | genoskill: i see, not sure dude | 20:46 |
| daemonTW | what's the model number | 20:46 |
| Black_Phantom | Riddell, I never really used it more than 10 min, unfamiliarity for me thats it. But I heard that KDE 4 really sucked | 20:46 |
| wakingo | hello guys,I have a problem..I`m trying to connect to my home computer via ssh and is not working(I use putty) can someone help me? | 20:46 |
| istvan | xangua: alt+f2 works but as soon as the toolbar reloads the command window disappears | 20:46 |
| Flannel | wakingo: What have you done so far? | 20:46 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: yup.. that worked, as in: I was able to type. But it didn't really help with anything... | 20:47 |
| wakingo | I just tried to connect...I have openssh installed and I can`t connect | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: then its an issue with compiz, i'd ask in #compiz | 20:47 |
| Samplezt | clear | 20:47 |
| jMCg | daemonTW: 1090eg | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: i've seen this before but am unsure of the fix | 20:47 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: I don't use compiz. I suppose. Let me check. | 20:47 |
| Flannel | wakingo: You've got openssh-server installed? Are you on the same LAN as the computer right now? | 20:47 |
| wakingo | on localhost is working but from other computer outside the network is not working | 20:47 |
| Omegamike | wakingo - i sent you a private message | 20:48 |
| daemonTW | it's got a radeon video card? | 20:48 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: nope. No compiz. Effects come from metacity. But the effects are not the issue. It's the input tdevices. | 20:48 |
| Omegamike | wakingo - you will probably have to enable port forwarding on your router | 20:48 |
| abstrakt | Riddell, my main problem is that KDE is a whiny bag of smashed hamsters | 20:48 |
| jMCg | daemonTW: yes, but I don't appear to be able to make use of it. | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jMCg: the WM interprets the clicks afaik | 20:48 |
| jMCg | ActionParsnip: not if X doesn't translate them to begin with. | 20:48 |
| Flannel | wakingo: Ah. You need to port forward on your router | 20:48 |
| jMCg | Or transport, for that matter. | 20:49 |
| d3javu | matrixx_, well the problem is the sound applet, the gnome-volume-control-applet keep disappearing everytime i restart, so i need to do something to automatically starts it when system reboot. if there is no easy way to do it, then i would like to change the indicator session applet which has sound. remove evolution and add in thunderbird. | 20:49 |
| xangua | istvan: can you open your home¿¿ try deleting your hidden folder .gnome2 | 20:49 |
| guntbert | abstrakt: your ranting will not help you get help - please let it be | 20:49 |
| jMCg | daemonTW: the fglrx drivers segfault, when I try to Xorg -configure :1 | 20:49 |
| wakingo | ok ..what port? | 20:49 |
| Flannel | wakingo: Forward port 22 to your server (and you'll probably want to set up a static IP for that computer to make that easier) | 20:49 |
| xangua | d3javu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/how-to-add-thunderbird-to-messaging.html | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | abstrakt, what's with the name calling , kde runs very well, to most ppl it's just a matter of taste | 20:49 |
| daemonTW | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/525377 | 20:49 |
| Flannel | wakingo: Once you do that, you might look into denyhosts as well, to block people from bruteforcing | 20:49 |
| daemonTW | see if that is applicable | 20:49 |
| jMCg | Aaaah... joy. | 20:50 |
| abstrakt | guntbert, i am not in need of assistance at the moment but thanks | 20:50 |
| daemonTW | looks like you may be hosed | 20:50 |
| jMCg | Xorg -configure :1 fixed the right click problem.... | 20:50 |
| jMCg | s/right/ | 20:50 |
| wakingo | ok .. | 20:50 |
| * Sasquatch7 eats some more twizzlers | 20:50 | |
| guntbert | abstrakt: please stop the ranting anyway :-) | 20:50 |
| jMCg | This is random. | 20:50 |
| abstrakt | BluesKaj, i'm not most people... i have slightly diff requirements/specs... i just tried KDE recently, it was mega fail | 20:50 |
| matrixx_ | d3javu: try to save your session after you setup it all (System/Settings/Start programs/Options) | 20:50 |
| abstrakt | for me | 20:50 |
| jMCg | The funny thing is: All my hardware is perfectly compatible with Linux. Just not in combination. | 20:50 |
| abstrakt | other ppl might like it... i think it's fail | 20:51 |
| d3javu | xangua, oh that is a nice diy. i'll give it a try. thank you. | 20:51 |
| soreau | jMCg: So far as gpu recognition goes, you may have to disable the intel in the bios for the radeon to become visible | 20:51 |
| Docteh | abstrakt: try out everything is an idea | 20:51 |
| guntbert | abstrakt: why do you insist on staying off topic? | 20:51 |
| jMCg | soreau: it's recognized. Both are. | 20:51 |
| d3javu | matrixx_, oh thank you for the suggestion. i'll try the link given by xangua, if it doesn't satisfy me, then i try your way. thank you again. | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | abstrakt, too bad ...not my experience at all | 20:51 |
| Docteh | icewm is hard to beat though ;) | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | anyway , BBL..BBQ time | 20:52 |
| soreau | jMCg: Well you may have to set the driver to radeon in xorg.conf and still may have to disable the intel gpu | 20:52 |
| istvan | xangua: as soon as i delete gnome2 it creates a new one, and the problem continues | 20:53 |
| wakingo | cool , I succeded | 20:53 |
| wakingo | thanks guys | 20:53 |
| Samplezt | hi guys, some one can help me?.. i got a simple question, how can i run qbasic?' with some emulator or what? | 20:53 |
| alejandro | hey what is a good wireless adapter for backtrack usb supported? | 20:54 |
| Samplezt | any suggestions? | 20:54 |
| matrixx_ | Samplezt: try using a DOS emulator for linux | 20:54 |
| abstrakt | guntbert, mostly cuz i'm awesome | 20:54 |
| matrixx_ | Samplezt: dosbox for example | 20:55 |
| piper69 | hi folks | 20:55 |
| abstrakt | a better question is why would anyone want to program in qbasic | 20:55 |
| frxstrem | is it possible to allow a user to only use sudo to act as *one* user (not root)? | 20:56 |
| piper69 | how do i get and instal the development libraries for bluez please? | 20:56 |
| Jassonn | !qbasic | Samplezt | 20:56 |
| istvan | where is the terminal app? is it bash in /bin? | 20:56 |
| abstrakt | istvan, which bash | 20:56 |
| Docteh | frxstrem: probably, what does the man page say? | 20:56 |
| frxstrem | istvan: bash is the shell, gnome-terminal or xterm is the program that usually controls it | 20:56 |
| abstrakt | istvan, will tell you the location of bash, which is a shell | 20:56 |
| matrixx_ | abstrakt: to play nibbles? ;) | 20:56 |
| piper69 | istvan: do 'which bash' or 'which sh' | 20:56 |
| istvan | piper69: i can't... thats the problem. i'll find gnome-terminal thanks! | 20:57 |
| piper69 | how do i get and instal the development libraries for bluez please? | 20:57 |
| Haraken | what kernel version ships with ubuntu 10.04? | 20:57 |
| abstrakt | istvan, applications -> accessories | 20:57 |
| Docteh | frxstrem: woah thats hard to understand, i see why you're asking here | 20:57 |
| Docteh | Haraken: 2.6.32 | 20:57 |
| abstrakt | piper69, sudo apt-get install bluez-dev | 20:57 |
| Jassonn | Samplezt : see if it helps : http://crazyaboutubuntu.wordpress.com/qbasic-in-ubuntu/ | 20:57 |
| abstrakt | probably | 20:57 |
| Haraken | Docteh, is there an upgrade for 2.6.33? | 20:57 |
| istvan | abstrakt: my toolbar is broken - i need the terminal to fix it, which i can't open yet :p | 20:57 |
| Haraken | in the repository | 20:58 |
| piper69 | abstrakt: thanks | 20:58 |

| piper69 | abstrakt: can't find pkg | 20:58 |
| abstrakt | istvan, gnome-terminal<ENTER> | 20:58 |
| frxstrem | Docteh: by the way, I believe the manual page for the sudoers file is not 'man sudo', but 'man sudoers' | 20:58 |
| abstrakt | piper69, i did say probably | 20:58 |

| Chriisti | what is command to run as root on alt+f2? | 20:59 |
| Docteh | Haraken: distros usually stick with a consistant kernel version for distro versions | 20:59 |
| Docteh | Chriisti: same as in an xterm, sudo -i | 20:59 |
| Haraken | Docteh, so it doesn't change? | 20:59 |
| === Votan is now known as Votan|off | ||

| ActionParsnip | guntbert: not for x based apps dude ;) | 21:00 |
| guntbert | Chriisti: listen to ActionParsnip | 21:00 |
| Chriisti | sudo command for terminal line for all folder root? | 21:00 |
| istvan | abstrakt: i was also closing with the toolbar. but i found it | 21:00 |
| Docteh | Haraken: aye, it'll get patched though, the idea is to maintain binary compatibility with modules | 21:00 |
| Fool | alguém aqui me entende? | 21:01 |
| Haraken | Docteh, I see, the reason I want 2.6.33 is trim support. will that be added into 2.6.32? | 21:01 |
| Adamantus10 | If I install an application and it doesn't appear in the apps menu, how do I know what to run? | 21:01 |

| Haraken | Docteh, I read in a wiki that trim support was added in linux kernel 2.6.33 | 21:04 |
| vandrar | hoj | 21:04 |
| Adamantus10 | ActionParsnip, alacarte seems to be installed, but yet again, no menu button! | 21:04 |
| vandrar | hello :D | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamantus10: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu? | 21:05 |
| Adamantus10 | ubuntu | 21:05 |
| Haraken | Docteh, I'm currently running windows 7, but since I am buying a new drive I was going to do a fresh install of linux. Just wanted to see if I was going to have to compile a new kernel to get my trim support is all :) | 21:05 |

| ubottu | vandrar: 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! | 21:05 |

| Black_Phantom | whoopsy doopsy | 21:05 |
| vigstrom | Ij | 21:05 |
| Adamantus10 | ActionParsnip: Like I said it is installed, but I will reinstall it to be sure. | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamantus10: you can run it with ALT+F2 | 21:06 |
| christos | can some one explain what kde is? | 21:07 |
| christos | cna it be used in ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !kde | 21:08 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 21:08 |
| Adamantus10 | ActionParsnip: ALT+f2 does nothing. | 21:08 |
| christos | i hear alot of about it? | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamantus10: you need to type: alacarte in the box | 21:08 |
| Adamantus10 | You mean the run box? I have that set up for differently | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | christos: sure, its an lternate desktop to gnome which uuntu uses but ubuntu | 21:08 |
| Black_Phantom | !kubuntu | Chriisti | 21:08 |
| ubottu | Chriisti: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 21:08 |
| Black_Phantom | whoops | 21:09 |
| overmind | christos: Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu KDE. Both are desktop enviroment | 21:09 |

| ActionParsnip | Adamantus10: its the app to edit the meu, once you know the command you need, you can make your own menu item | 21:10 |
| christos | if i have ubuntu can i install kde right | 21:10 |
| christos | because thats what im doing in the termal | 21:10 |

| ActionParsnip | Loneclock: theres also: mutt and clawsmail to name two more | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas-arg: windows has different support, thats why | 21:16 |
| lucas-arg | ActionParsnip: ok but u dont know any place where i can download drivers for i965? | 21:17 |
| therianthrope | hi :3 | 21:17 |
| AhmedBH | Anyone helps me over pidgin :) ? | 21:17 |
| daemonTW | if there are alternate drivers, the hardware updater should suggest them for you | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | lucas-arg: the driver comes in the default ubuntu install, you can use an xorg.conf to specify settings which may make it run better | 21:18 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: Sure, we'll try. What is the problem? | 21:18 |
| daemonTW | ahmed provided you didn't actually delete your contacts, reinstalling pidgin might bring them back.. or deleting and readding yoru accounts | 21:18 |
| starghost | Hi, I'm in virtual box and I needed more space to my HD, so I copied my ubuntu HD over to a new virtual one - lot of unallocated space (10 gigs). Works great, did it in Clonezilla. But one small problem. Partitions in Ubuntu are still set small, now just a lot of unallocated space. So I need to use gparted I take it. I have gparted open. Anyone know what I do from there? | 21:19 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: Actually i am new to pidgin accidently deleted the group and i lost all my online contacts what do i do now ? | 21:19 |

| shawncm217 | My Ubuntu One sync has been stuck at 43.6 MB (2.1%) for at least two weeks now. How do I get it going (uploading)? | 21:20 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: Well, no problem. First uninstall Pidgin using this command in Terminal: sudo apt-get remove pidgin and then, reinstall it: sudo apt-get install pidgin | 21:21 |
| AhmedBH | Okay | 21:21 |
| daemonTW | purge it | 21:21 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: dont i have to remove my accounts first ? | 21:21 |
| daemonTW | sudo apt-get purge pidgin | 21:21 |

| AhmedBH | rocket16: removed | 21:22 |
| matrixx_ | daemonTW: the contacts are mostly stored on the icq server, not locally | 21:22 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: Well, doing that is well too, as daemonTW said. But after reinstallation, you can do that too. | 21:22 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: yeah thats right | 21:22 |

| starghost | Anyone able to help me with gparted? | 21:22 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: done | 21:22 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: Alternatively, you can delete the .purple folder in your Home Folder. That will help you to reset Pidgin. | 21:22 |
| overmind | !ask | starghost | 21:22 |
| ubottu | starghost: 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. :-) | 21:22 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: Sure, is it working? | 21:22 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: where's that folder ? | 21:23 |
| Adamantus10 | God this is getting old, I can't find the executable for this program, searched everywhere... | 21:23 |
| starghost | Hi, I'm in virtual box and I needed more space to my HD, so I copied my ubuntu HD over to a new virtual one - lot of unallocated space (10 gigs). Works great, did it in Clonezilla. But one small problem. Partitions in Ubuntu are still set small, now just a lot of unallocated space. So I need to use gparted I take it. I have gparted open. Anyone know what I do from there? | 21:23 |
| oarion7 | Adamantus10, what is it? | 21:23 |
| Adamantus10 | dans guardian | 21:23 |
| Purpley | Hey does vlc media player play xspf? | 21:23 |
| TwoshedsJackson | have you tried it? | 21:23 |
| Adamantus10 | I've looked through installed files in synaptics and nothing, but I know I've run it before. | 21:23 |
| rocket16 | AhmedBH: It is hidden folder. Go to Home, and press Ctrl+H to make hidden folders visible. There, delete .purple, and you are done. Press Ctrl+H to hide those files again. | 21:23 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: okay | 21:24 |
| oarion7 | starghost, i think you need to boot into the vm from the live cd hosted into the vm, so that u can modify/resize the main partition. u cant modify the loaded partition while the os on it is running, i think | 21:24 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: that folder / | 21:24 |
| AhmedBH | ? | 21:24 |
| Ranjan | wildbat: Thanks for your help now problem is resolved .. | 21:24 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: i found it | 21:24 |
| oarion7 | starghost, so run gparted off the live cd inside the vm instead of the gparted thats actually installed | 21:24 |
| wildbat | Ranjan, :> | 21:24 |

| LjL | pepsi: have a separate user for that stuff ;) | 21:26 |
| Omegamike | starghost - if you can't do it the way oarion7 suggested, you might try a gparted live cd or parted magic (my fave) | 21:26 |
| AhmedBH | rocket16: seems like that worked lets see when i connect | 21:26 |

| rocket16 | AhmedBH: :( I see. Yes, try that once, | 21:27 |
| pepsi | it looks bad to have an empty history | 21:27 |
| matrixx_ | i think pepsi is asking for a "privacy mode" for whole ubuntu just like in firefox | 21:27 |
| AhmedBH | Okay | 21:27 |
| wakingo | guys I removed openssh but when I check what ports are still open the ssh port is still open...why? | 21:27 |

| therianthrope | hi. | 21:28 |
| pepsi | blah | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | pepsi: well you will get some history gap / lack of istory in some way, so eaiter way you are knackered | 21:28 |
| chadi | I think the best solution would be to use a livecd as daemonTW suggested :-P | 21:28 |
| daemonTW | or, you know, move out or something.. who's checking your history anyway | 21:28 |
| therianthrope | How do I change the grub background on lucid? | 21:28 |

| ubottu | hopeless8009: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 22:04 |
| soreau | ! ask | killermask | 22:04 |
| ubottu | killermask: 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. :-) | 22:04 |
| kbar | if by compiz you mean awesome then yes | 22:04 |
| holocene | seems like you just need to install encyptfs package on suse. It is very easy to use. | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hopeless8009: you need to setup your video card (if it can do 3D) to give 3D accelleration | 22:04 |

| ActionParsnip | soreau: true | 22:05 |
| soreau | hopeless8009: Which video card do you have? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | hopeless8009: then you can install the driver using jockey, or the nvidia-vdpau ppa to get the 195 driver | 22:06 |
| soreau | oh 8400M | 22:06 |
| frxstrem | if Compiz is the default compositing manager in Ubuntu (according to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager), why is my computer using metacity instead by default? | 22:06 |
| soreau | yea, then you have to start messing with drivers | 22:06 |
| crdlb | quandry247: you need to choose the gnome session on the login screen | 22:06 |
| crdlb | quandry247: it sounds like you've set the session to "failsafe terminal" | 22:06 |

| _allegro | i can go from there | 22:07 |
| wildbat | UT8F, if you have weak signal it may be the it is | 22:08 |
| _allegro | what's the default ecryptfs algorithm | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: run: lspci | grei -i vga websearch for the output | 22:08 |
| hopeless8009 | ActionParsnip: is the hardware Driver program in adminastartin ok to use | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hopeless8009: yeah man | 22:08 |
| UT8F | wildbat, i have strong signal, about ~95% | 22:08 |

| hopeless8009 | ActionParsnip: then my only question is in 9.10 i had programs to config compiz but there not there now. I clean installed to 10.4 last night and i dont know how to config compiz | 22:09 |
| arand | enelar: testdisk *might* work | 22:09 |
| frxstrem | soreau: the output of what ActionParsnip said is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) | 22:10 |
| frxstrem | soreau: I assume that is my video card | 22:10 |
| soreau | hopeless8009: install compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and maybe even simple-ccsm | 22:10 |
| guntbert | _allegro: that doesn't matter, the procedure is the same - in any case you need the recorded passphrase to access the files | 22:10 |

| === Ginbun2__ is now known as ginbuntu | ||
| soreau | frxstrem: Yes, and it's pretty old. You could try to see if there's drivers listed in sys>admin>hardware drivers | 22:10 |

| disappearedng | durt: yeah all the nice effects | 22:11 |
| holocene | _allegro I would think that as long as you have the passphrase it would work regardless of system that encrypted it. | 22:11 |
| frxstrem | soreau: nope - at least not last time I checked | 22:11 |
| frxstrem | soreau: I'm gonna check again now | 22:11 |

| wildbat | enelar, can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l | 22:13 |
| wildbat | enelar, you don't wanna do a write on the disk now | 22:13 |
| UT8F | wildbat, I dont think so, because I was in ubuntu 9.10 and lived at my mom, there wass 100mbit connection, I downloaded everythink on 10MB/s speed and everythink was ok, after distro upgrade everythink this problem showed up | 22:14 |
| holocene | _allegro, experiment. | 22:14 |

| phsoftnet | hello everyone! i would like to link my program with a profiled version of glibc (for example passing -lc_p to gcc) but it seems like such a library is not present. how do I do it in ubuntu 9.04? is there some package of a profiled glibc? | 22:15 |
| holocene | allegro, I would copy the encrypted files onto a medium that suse can read. Then just experiment. | 22:16 |
| holocene | btw, I thought suse was great back in the day. | 22:16 |
| wildbat | UT8F, like you said you upgraded the driver may be "new" anyway i can't help you , it seems everything is not the case.... may be you can include the little detail on the forum topic and see if anyone figure that out | 22:17 |

| VCoolio | Theravadan: that's strange, menu.lst is for grub, grub.cfg for grub2. Check your grub version; if it's grub2 you'll need grub.cfg (but edit /etc/default/grub only) | 22:25 |

| Theravadan | VCoolio, I did a new install of 10.04 but for some reason grub2 wasn't installed yet menu.lst and grub.cfg were both there.. so I installed grub2 which picks up the new kernel version with update-grub2.. i will mv menu.lst to /var/tmp | 22:26 |

| rooob | aN00B1s: make sure the md5sums match. It's an integrity test. | 22:49 |
| linuxmonster | InvaderZim, I have 8gbs of ram and still use a swapfile is it overkill probably but I sooner be safe then sorry and a 2gig system i would make a 4 gig swapfile | 22:49 |
| rooob | InvaderZim: you should be able to make a swap file later on.. I'm pretty sure there is kernel support for that now. | 22:49 |
| InvaderZim | gee 4 gig? | 22:49 |

| VCoolio | InvaderZim: 2Gb is plenty, also for gnome, except if you're doing video editing and stuff; a small swap is ok if you can spare the disk space | 22:50 |
| rooob | You should be safe without it starting out if you're dead set on not using up the 2gigs of disc space for swap. | 22:50 |
| InvaderZim | its for a netbook | 22:50 |
| linuxmonster | InvaderZim, typical rule of thumb is swap is x2 memeory | 22:50 |
| rooob | disc space is as cheap as what.. 6 cents/gig in some cases? | 22:50 |
| InvaderZim | cant change hd size, and its dual boot | 22:50 |

| aN00B1s | rooob: explain me please.. | 22:51 |
| linuxmonster | InvaderZim, then use the netbook remix of ubuntu it has lower demands and is optomized for situations like that | 22:51 |
| duffydack | InvaderZim, i run a netbook with 1gig ram fine without swap. granted its only running like browser, IM, maybe some file operations etc but it never gets near the max. | 22:51 |

| |Night_Elf| | LjL: another removal I can't seem to find is the "Gnome Roaster" for cd/dvd burning. For some reason, I find Brasero buggy, it goes to 100% and then tells me the burning failed. The cd works ok though. But still... | 23:29 |
| zeleftikam | is 10.04 supposed to have floppy disk support out of the box? | 23:29 |
| BitEncrypt | where would i find GParted' | 23:30 |

| BitEncrypt | its on my comp. | 23:30 |
| BitEncrypt | just cant find it | 23:30 |
| xangua | BitEncrypt: if you want yo edit partitions use your lie cd or gparted's live cd | 23:30 |
| mneptok | BitEncrypt: you installed it? | 23:30 |
| onetinsoldier | zeleftikam: mine did. try --> modprobe floppy | 23:30 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: what version of ubuntu have you ? | 23:30 |
| BitEncrypt | yes | 23:30 |
| henkpostma | 10.04 | 23:31 |
| mneptok | BitEncrypt: System > Admin | 23:31 |
| |Night_Elf| | huh? | 23:31 |
| BitEncrypt | thx | 23:31 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: I was looking for it just 10mins ago. didn't find it | 23:31 |
| BitEncrypt | im a such a newb | 23:31 |
| Docteh | azolap: DRDY ERR is drive ready error | 23:31 |
| DjDark | woot | 23:31 |
| henkpostma | nightelf: I run Lucid, install gnomebaker in synaptic or from the command line : sudo apt-get install gnomebaker | 23:32 |
| linuxmonster | I still use brasero never filed me yet | 23:32 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: shouldn't the thing appear in synaptics too? | 23:32 |
| henkpostma | I suppose, nightelf | 23:32 |
| henkpostma | let me check | 23:32 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: its not. Searching for it gives me nothing | 23:33 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: and i have all 3 major repos activated | 23:33 |
| henkpostma | odd, nightelf | 23:34 |
| henkpostma | I have it right here in front of me | 23:34 |

I think it's a permission problem but I checked an | 23:34 |
| EntityReborn | Scrip, watch your language | 23:34 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: ok, this is even odder. In CLI it is there. apt-get is installing it. .... | 23:34 |
| henkpostma | haha | 23:35 |
| henkpostma | and we'll never know how that happened | 23:35 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: not good not good | 23:35 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: what card are you using? | 23:35 |
| henkpostma | what's the problem nightelf? | 23:35 |
| ElementalWarrior | broadcom 43225 | 23:35 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: so then.. that might be the case for PCSX ? | 23:35 |
| rooob | wow.. someone forgot to edit a text file lol@"floodbot" | 23:36 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: i want to see why synaptics reports that there is no gnomebaker package. When on the other hand apt-get just installed it | 23:36 |
| zeleftikam | when i was extremely impoverished i used to buy a loaf of white bread and mustard and just eat mustard sandwiches | 23:36 |
| zeleftikam | now i can't eat mustard anymore | 23:36 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: I just searched for the playstation emulator pcsx in synaptics and it didn't show | 23:37 |
| henkpostma | Night_Elf: I understand you want to find that out | 23:37 |
| * mbrproblem10 bows to all the nice people. | 23:37 | |
| linuxmonster | zeleftikam, that whays its important to eat a balenced diet lol | 23:37 |
| zeleftikam | :) sorry wrong chan anyway | 23:37 |
| Scrip | pcsx is kind of shit dude i tested it... | 23:37 |
| EntityReborn | Scrip, watch your language | 23:37 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ says it should already be in the kernel | 23:38 |
| mbrproblem10 | How are all you lovely Ubuntu people doing today? | 23:38 |
| Scrip | ok sorry | 23:38 |
| linuxmonster | And contray to public opinion Beer is a food group | 23:38 |

| |Night_Elf| | Scrip: today i have 10.04 though | 23:38 |
| ostap | Hi all =) | 23:38 |
| * rooob is an Archer | 23:38 | |
| henkpostma | |Night_Elf|: silly suggestion: did you hit 'reload' in synaptic? | 23:38 |
| mbrproblem10 | hi ostap | 23:39 |
| acerimmer_ | scrip: package appears not to have karmic update. | 23:39 |
| ElementalWarrior | well rooob it "connects" but it doesnt actually let me connect, all pings return errors, and no internet connection at all | 23:39 |
| |Night_Elf| | henkpostma: lol. I think I did. But I will make sure once again | 23:39 |
| tsrk | I just moved my RAID array from one physical machine to another, and it seems to be running fine except it isn't detecting the network interface (eth0). Do I need to somehow force it to re-detect all the hardware (since the entire set of hardware is different)? | 23:39 |
| |Night_Elf| | rooob: ooo.. sexy | 23:39 |
| |Night_Elf| | :p | 23:39 |
| Slart | tsrk: it should detect the new hardware automatically.. it might get new interface names though.. eth2, eth3 or similar | 23:39 |
| Scrip | i tested it a long time ago so I don't know anything about this stuff anymore | 23:39 |
| henkpostma | I mean, that would only explain it if you just enabled 'universe' just now | 23:40 |
| tsrk | Slart: unfortunately I don't see any ethX interfaces in "ifconfig"... is there somewhere else to check? | 23:40 |
| mbrproblem10 | Can anyone tell me if its possible to reload a mbr from a backup mbr.bin file? | 23:41 |
| Scrip | please anyone could help me for my problem ? | 23:41 |
| rooob | tsrk: most likely, if your / is on new hw | 23:41 |
| wildbat | mbrproblem10, use dd commoand | 23:41 |
| henkpostma | mbrproblem10: that depends | 23:41 |
| mbrproblem10 | henkpostma: on what? | 23:42 |
| henkpostma | mbrproblem10: if I'm not mistaking, the first partitions (not extended) are in the MBR | 23:42 |
| Slart | tsrk: nope.. that probable means you have to fix something.. afaik network cards and such are very well supported.. not sure what might be wrong.. try running lspci and see if you can find the nic and it's id string.. try googling for that | 23:42 |
| |Night_Elf| | Scrip: what problem? | 23:42 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: any messages when putting if down/up? | 23:42 |
| henkpostma | I forgot where the others are | 23:42 |
| n8w | how can i downgrade kopete? | 23:42 |
| ElementalWarrior | what do you mean rooob? | 23:42 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: ifconfig <if> down && ifconfig <if> up | 23:43 |
| rooob | anything? | 23:43 |
| Scrip | Night_Elf : I have a huge f*ucking problem: I can't connect to amsn anymore, when I enter my mail adress and my passwd ans then connect, amsn close... also whan | 23:43 |
| q0s | where is 'udevcontrol' gone in lucid? | 23:43 |
| Scrip | I start my computer and type my password and login it works 1/10 times... otherwise It restart gdm and I have to enter my login and pass again... also I | 23:43 |
| mbrproblem10 | wildbat: Can i use the DD command in the Ubuntu live or the ubuntu rescue live usb to restore my mbr? | 23:43 |
| tsrk | Slart: lspci shows it, and it works automatically from a live CD, so it's definitely supported. Is there something that the live CD does to detect new hardware? | 23:43 |
| Scrip | can't open anything like music or videos anymore, It 's soooo wierd !!! I think it's a permission problem but I checked and averything seems to be alright. | 23:43 |
| Scrip | if anyone have an idea what kind of f*cking problem it is it would help a lot. | 23:44 |
| FloodBot3 | Scrip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:44 |
| rooob | n8w: find the package, man aptitude | 23:44 |
| henkpostma | mbrproblem10: so as an example, if you have 2 drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, and you copy the first 512 bytes from sda to sdb, your mbr is repaired | 23:44 |
| Slart | tsrk: hmm.. I'm not entirely sure | 23:44 |
| Scrip | I have a huge f*ucking problem: I can't connect to amsn anymore, when I enter my mail adress and my passwd ans then connect, amsn close... also whan | 23:44 |
| Scrip | I start my computer and type my password and login it works 1/10 times... otherwise It restart gdm and I have to enter my login and pass again... also I | 23:44 |
| ElementalWarrior | rooob I did that and nothing happened | 23:44 |
| Scrip | can't open anything like music or videos anymore, It 's soooo wierd !!! I think it's a permission problem but I checked and averything seems to be alright. | 23:44 |

| Scrip | if anyone have an idea what kind of f*cking problem it is it would help a lot. | 23:44 |
| n8w | rooob: ? | 23:44 |
| Eklipski | Scrip, right click, open as wont work? | 23:44 |
| rooob | mbrproblem10: you can also backup the first 512 bs, for future reference. | 23:45 |
| henkpostma | mbrproblem10: what exactly is the problem with your MBR? | 23:45 |
| |Night_Elf| | Scrip: idea: Have you tried doing the same actions using another account? Add another user and login as that and see what happens? | 23:45 |
| tsrk | Slart: ok, thanks for the suggestions... It's probably just as well to reinstall on the new machine | 23:45 |

| Scrip | ok I'll try to create and use an other acount | 23:45 |
| Scrip | thanks | 23:45 |
| rooob | ostap: english please | 23:45 |
| |Night_Elf| | Scrip: you have to be careful | 23:45 |
| ElementalWarrior | anyways I went into synaptic and am doing an update, I'll come back after that | 23:45 |
| velociostrich | hi all | 23:46 |
| Slart | tsrk: you're welcome | 23:46 |
| Eklipski | wildbat, IIRC 448 is the MBR, 512 is partition tables as well | 23:46 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: what driver did you install? | 23:46 |
| rooob | ElementalWarrior: and did you follow the instructions on the UbuntuWiki page? | 23:46 |
| |Night_Elf| | Scrip: make sure you give this other user access to use the sound, the cd, the ALL options at the permitions section of the users, to make it identical to what you have now | 23:46 |
| velociostrich | I'm using gnome and my menus are all messed up; when I try to add an item to a menu, it appears under _another_ menu as well, and if I delete the occurrence under the other menu, they both disappear. How can I fix this or re-configure my menus or something? | 23:46 |
| wildbat | Eklipski, for that url command | 23:46 |
| ElementalWarrior | yes rooob, and I installed the drive that broadcom supports for ubuntu | 23:47 |
| linuxmonster | B43 | 23:47 |
| |Night_Elf| | can someone confirm that in synaptics, there's no more a program called PCSX ? | 23:47 |
| |Night_Elf| | synaptic* | 23:48 |
| Scrip | yeah i know nightelf, I'm not a noob at ubuntu but this is just so wierd, maybe a failure in the matrix... (by the way sorry for my bad english I'm french) | 23:48 |
| mbrproblem10 | henkpostma: I originally used qparted (off of the ubuntu live usb or is it gparted) to move a windows 7 partition. This failed. I attempted to use Testdisk to locate it. However, that failed, and lost my Lucid partition. All i really want now is my lucid partition back. I made two backups of the mbr. One using the command line which produced this mbr.bin file and also a backup using Testdisk. However, the testdisk will not load the backup. | 23:48 |
| onetinsoldier | |Night_Elf|: confirmed | 23:48 |
| velociostrich | brb | 23:48 |
| |Night_Elf| | onetinsoldier: damn! :( | 23:48 |
| linuxmonster | Nightelf there is but I am in 9.10 | 23:48 |
| mbrproblem10 | Oh it is all happening on a 1tb black WD drive. the old one not the new one. | 23:48 |
| felon | .. | 23:49 |
| |Night_Elf| | linuxmonster: yea in 8.10 was there too. I had it till yesterday when I had 8.10 | 23:49 |
| |Night_Elf| | 8.04 sorry, my bad | 23:49 |
| henkpostma | mbrproblem10: You can first make a backup, if /dev/sda is your drive : dd if=/dev/sda of=backup.bin bs=512 count=1, then copy the saved file dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sda | 23:49 |
| tsrk | Slart: actually, I was wrong... it was automatically detected, just not up by default, so I had to do "ifconfig -a" to see it. Thank you for your help. | 23:49 |
| linuxmonster | |Night_Elf|, try sudo apt-get install pcsx-df | 23:50 |
| PhilMather | apt-cache-ng gave me a little bit "o" panic. | 23:50 |
| mbrproblem10 | henkpostma: my mbr is toast. im trying to reload the backup that is good. | 23:50 |
| |Night_Elf| | linuxmonster: no such package | 23:50 |
| henkpostma | I understand mbrproblem10 , just making sure | 23:51 |
| kzman | what is the '^]' key? | 23:51 |
| |Night_Elf| | linuxmonster: I wonder if the .deb of 8.04 will go ok in 10.04 | 23:51 |

| Scrip | sorry I HAVE NO CHOICE | 23:54 |
| prep | scrip : juste remove amsn and reinstall it | 23:54 |

It was @ 99% complete so only a few packages didnt get installed properly, I assume. Now 10.04 got updated and it's sitting on the splash screen just loading, loading, loading. Should I allow it to just hang out here? or...? I tried ctrl-alt-f6 to get into a terminal so I could look at messages but no go. | 23:59 |
