| drizzt_ | Dave__, your file looks damaged, download it again | 00:04 |
| AmgJesus | I get random popups and BSOD's | 00:04 |

| IdleOne | mikefletcher85: #iphone or #apple or some such | 00:04 |
| Random832 | mikefletcher85: are you using ifconfig to set things, or just to see the current settings? | 00:04 |
| Random832 | because just to see the settings you can do /sbin/ifconfig | 00:04 |
| dewman | AmgJesus, sounds like you are using windows. this is a linux channel | 00:04 |

| PwrSurge | is there any way to log when your machine locks up? | 00:06 |
| Random832 | nimbus: because you shouldn't be running the calculator as root- that's silly | 00:06 |

| LjL | Random832: how exactly was i feeding the troll? | 00:06 |
| PwrSurge | perhaps ssh to it? | 00:06 |

| Random832 | mikefletcher85: do 'sudo visudo' and i'll tlel you what to add | 00:06 |
| isam_ | Does Ubuntu perform faster and better with normal installations or http://wubi-installer.org? | 00:06 |
| LjL | Random832: also, the factoid is "!feeding the troll". i know because i made that factoid. | 00:06 |
| MikeH_ | acerimmer_: Two things, there seems to be no information on the issues with grub2, and that link you pasted, as grateful as I am, only explains how to restore grub in a release that ships with grub-legacy. | 00:06 |

| jpds | drizzt_: Can be. | 00:11 |
| IdleOne | !minimal | Salah | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Salah: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:11 |

And I cannot find wlan0 in ifconfig. This usually happens when I have high traffic. It also happened the other day when i had my external HD connected. And it stopped recognizing the external HD too. I can fix it with rmmod ndiswrapper. then modprobe ndiswrapper. But I w | 00:15 |
| simps | as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all | 00:15 |
| drizzt_ | vlt, is it office from repository? | 00:15 |

| iury | but every restart I got running low graphics mode | 00:15 |
| vlt | drizzt_: Yes | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | MikeH_: It will tell me a lot of things. What drives /partitions you have, what bootloaders are installed to each of these, is grub installed such that it is looking in the correct partitions for its files, etc. | 00:15 |
| jpds | incoq: Ask #freenode. | 00:15 |
| Random832 | oh - i wasn't looking at the symbol ones | 00:15 |
| iury | And I have to restart the X | 00:16 |
| BFP | imbmiller: I'm running a set of native drivers. | 00:16 |

| Random832 | nimbus: what font packages do you have installed? | 00:16 |
| incoq | thanks jpds | 00:16 |
| BFP | It was the one recommended for my model in the thread I found detailing how to install it. | 00:16 |
| iury | could you help me to solve that issue ? | 00:16 |
| diogo_79 | is there a software in ubuntu that can reduce the clock speed of pentium 4 processors?? | 00:16 |
| BFP | I think they're an updated version of the driver Asus gives for it. | 00:16 |
| nimbus | MS fonts, mathematica | 00:16 |
| Random832 | nimbus: do youh ave ttf-opentymbol installed? | 00:16 |
| MikeH_ | Jordan_U: Grub works ok, it just takes half an hour to do it | 00:16 |

| drizzt_ | diogo_79, why? | 00:17 |

| PwrSurge | and openssh | 00:17 |
| PwrSurge | no dice | 00:17 |
| nimbus | yes I have ttf-opensymbol | 00:17 |
| drizzt_ | vlt, probably | 00:17 |
| BFP | imbmiller: Where is that? | 00:17 |
| imbmiller | BFP: inside WICD | 00:17 |
| hiexpo | if u like microsoft go back to it ///// sorry i am not a nice guy i tell it like it is | 00:17 |
| BFP | Ah, WPA supplicant. | 00:18 |
| BFP | It is "wext." | 00:18 |
| imbmiller | huh | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | MikeH_: If it's grub 1.97 beta4 (from karmic), rather than 1.98 from lucid, and you have grub installed to the mbr of a drive different than the one that contains /boot, that would explain the delay. | 00:18 |
| BFP | I tried inputting the settings manually in some /etc file or other as somebody recommended. Maybe one of them is wrong. | 00:18 |
| MikeH_ | Jordan_U: I have 1.98 (from 10.4 server) I think, and there is only one drive | 00:18 |
| MikeH_ | grub is installed on /dev/sda, / is LVM | 00:19 |
| imbmiller | BFP: maybe a driver conflict? try teminal "sudo modprobe -l" | 00:19 |
| BFP | I didn't think so, though, since I didn't change anything but SSID and encryption and the key. | 00:19 |
| conk | hey i was wonderin does runescape work on ubuntus | 00:19 |

| conk | i dunno what an apple has to do with it | 00:20 |
| conk | but its javai think | 00:20 |
| Monotoko | conk, youd have to try that through WINE | 00:20 |
| conk | its not apple i dont think | 00:20 |
| conk | apple is an operating system | 00:20 |
| conk | whats wine? | 00:20 |
| Monotoko | conk, windows emulator | 00:20 |
| iury | The ubuntu 10.4 everytime starts saying | 00:20 |

| conk | whats ccd? | 00:21 |
| BFP | Wine is pretty simple really. | 00:22 |
| conk | so much knowledge!! | 00:22 |
| drizzt_ | livecd | 00:22 |
| Monotoko | conk, yepp...choose the Operating System you want to boot at the start | 00:22 |
| hiexpo | conk, sorry cd | 00:22 |
| Monotoko | conk, may i PM you? | 00:22 |
| conk | no i dont take pms | 00:22 |
| PwrSurge | so now what log file should I monitor? | 00:22 |
| Monotoko | okay | 00:22 |
| PwrSurge | to troublieshoot my freezing | 00:22 |
| BFP | You just tell it "wine <this>" and it tries to run it as though it were Windows. | 00:22 |
| conk | if i wanted to play starcraft 2 | 00:22 |
| conk | can i play it on linux | 00:22 |

| hiexpo | conk, | wine | 00:23 |
| conk | im not as smart as u guys lol | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | conk: well then you are going to have problems learning | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | MikeH_: If /boot is on LVM then you won't be able to use grub legacy at all. Are you sure that it's grub that is being slow? By default in Ubuntu the grub menu isn't even shown, so there is no way to tell when grub has finished and you're into the linux kernel / init. | 00:23 |
| drizzt_ | but problem is sc2 not always work even on windows | 00:23 |
| conk | IdleOne: no need to talk down to me | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | conk: the more you read the easier it gets | 00:23 |
| Monotoko | conk, stick around, read and try | 00:23 |
| Monotoko | its a hard step | 00:23 |
| conk | i try reading but it hurts my head | 00:23 |
| BFP | Hm, imbmiller seems to have been dropped. Can anybody help me get Ubuntu to connect to my wireless network? | 00:23 |
| conk | i like pint and click | 00:23 |
| conk | cuz its ez | 00:23 |
| conk | but i want ubuntu cuz its freedom! | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | conk: I am not and I apologize if it seemed that way but you will get a lot more info from those links then we could provide | 00:24 |
| ramesh7a77u | I CAN HELP U BFP | 00:24 |
| conk | idk u guys have taught me so much alrdy! | 00:24 |
| conk | in 5 mins LOL | 00:24 |
| PwrSurge | ok, found a good resource https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze | 00:24 |
| edbian | conk, That's a good reason to want it. Why don't you burn a live CD and try it out. You don't have to install so there is 0 risk of hurting your system. | 00:24 |
| zleap | to answer my earlier scanner question /usr/bin/brsaneconfig2 -a name=Brother model=DCP-310CN ip=192.168.1.18 | 00:24 |

| iury | After I have uodated the ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 | 00:24 |
| conk | its called Debian version of ubuntu | 00:24 |
| zleap | i am off to bed | 00:24 |
| conk | i think thats the right one | 00:24 |
| zleap | nite | 00:24 |
| PwrSurge | facts: I have my clock displaying seconds and it stops moving when my laptop freezes | 00:25 |
| iury | sorry I m newbie | 00:25 |
| BFP | I got the network to appear in Wicd, but it insists I have a bad password. | 00:25 |
| edbian | conk, Actually, ubuntu is a version of Debian. Debian is not beginner friendly. You should stick with normal Ubuntu | 00:25 |
| hiexpo | !newbie | 00:25 |
| conk | oh | 00:25 |
| conk | i better stop that download then LOL | 00:25 |
| conk | what do i need the | 00:25 |
| conk | then**** srry for spelling!!! | 00:25 |
| edbian | conk, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 00:26 |
| hiexpo | conk, ubuntu 9.10 is the best i can recomend | 00:26 |
| edbian | !noob | 00:26 |
| ubottu | Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 00:26 |
| PwrSurge | how do I monitor a log file in real time again? | 00:26 |
| PwrSurge | i forgot the command | 00:26 |
| edbian | conk, I recommend the newest version 10.04 | 00:26 |
| hiexpo | haqha | 00:26 |
| conk | which is better?? | 00:26 |
| nina_ | pad&mouse or commend terminal? | 00:26 |
| conk | also will my norton antivirus work on ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| conk | if i use it thru wine? | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | conk: no | 00:27 |
| MikeH_ | Jordan_U: Last time I had this issue, I was informed there was an issue with some grub2 installs where grub stalled for an indeterminate amount of time | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | !virus | conk | 00:27 |
| ubottu | conk: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 00:27 |
| nina_ | u don't need antivirus? | 00:27 |
| conk | o | 00:27 |
| edbian | conk, Maybe but you don't need to run anti-virus scanners in linux. It is more secure. | 00:27 |
| conk | i feel dumb now | 00:27 |
| MikeH_ | Jordan_U: As thats on a server that is on 24/7, it isn't so much of an issue. | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | conk: don't :) | 00:27 |
| edbian | nina_, No not really. | 00:27 |
| MikeH_ | So i let it boot and left it, this machine is a Media Center, and will be on and off all the time | 00:27 |
| Monotoko | conk, i recommend this webpage http://wubi-installer.org/ | 00:27 |
| edbian | nina_, There are some proof of concept viruses but no "real" ones for linux. | 00:27 |
| fructose | is there anywhere online to get an Ubuntu shell account? | 00:27 |
| arand | conk: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435314 how to get SC2 running in wine | 00:27 |
| edbian | conk, Check out wubi. | 00:27 |
| bsmith093 | can someone provide me with the exact command to chroot and mount an existing ubuntu install from a livecd | 00:28 |
| conk | Montoko: server not found | 00:28 |
| hiexpo | conk, 9.10 i think but that is my perf preferance ok i have been running linux since 1972 unix \\\\\ if u likelinus yes9.10 and ubuntu | 00:28 |
| nimbus | Norton detect Windows viruses anyway. | 00:28 |
| edbian | conk, Also, check out the #ubuntu-beginners channel | 00:28 |
| bsmith093 | i know its long and complicated | 00:28 |
| PwrSurge | I found it | 00:28 |
| nimbus | So even if there were a linux virus norton would not know what it is | 00:28 |
| Monotoko | conk, http://www.wubi-installer.org/ | 00:28 |
| ramesh7a77u | WINE IS A LAYER | 00:28 |
| IdleOne | fructose: I don't think so | 00:28 |
| Murdoc | conk: frankly I feel that norton is something every computer user should own no matter what system they run | 00:28 |
| conk | ok | 00:28 |
| PwrSurge | tail -f /var/log/messages | 00:28 |
| edbian | bsmith093, mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/some/folder | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | MikeH_: That issue was very specific, only occuring with karmic, and only when grub's mbr portion was on a different drive than /boot. | 00:28 |
| conk | so i install noroton | 00:28 |
| conk | thru wine | 00:28 |
| edbian | bsmith093, chroot /mnt/some/folder | 00:28 |
| conk | but | 00:28 |
| conk | thats like double | 00:28 |
| conk | protection | 00:28 |
| FloodBot1 | conk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:28 |
| conk | right? | 00:28 |
| BFP | Hm, I edited /etc/network/interfaces, but I still can't connect. | 00:28 |
| Murdoc | double the protection power | 00:29 |
| ramesh7a77u | TO RUN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS IN UBUNTU. FOR EXAMPLE PENDRIVE APPS | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | edbian, discard nortonlinux don'thave virus | 00:29 |
| nina_ | because everyone likes linux and hates win? | 00:29 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Do you know what /dev/sdXY in it | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | !caps | ramesh7a77u | 00:29 |
| ubottu | ramesh7a77u: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 00:29 |
| edbian | hiexpo, Don't tell me I already know! | 00:29 |
| BFP | Would I put "wpa-ssid" into /etc/network/interfaces to connect to a WPA2 Personal network, or does it need to be something else? | 00:29 |
| drizzt_ | kick conk please | 00:29 |
| conk | i cant load this wubi site | 00:29 |
| conk | what? | 00:29 |
| ramesh7a77u | THANX IDLEONE | 00:29 |
| nimbus | Anyway as to my font issue I feel that reinstalling is the only option. It feels like giving up but I do not know what else to do. | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | edbian, than dont ask sorry | 00:29 |
| edbian | nina_, Partly, but also because linux is fundamentally designed better with file permissions and better user account control. | 00:29 |
| conk | drizzt_: ?? | 00:29 |
| Monotoko | Murdoc, stop confusing him... conk, you dont need to run a virus scanner in Windows, espeically not under WINE | 00:29 |
| edbian | hiexpo, Did I? | 00:29 |
| conk | oh | 00:29 |
| MikeH_ | Jordan_U: Ok, I'm going to leave it for this evening and re-download ubuntu (desktop this time) and install without LVM tomorrow, and see what happens. | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | yes | 00:29 |
| edbian | hiexpo, My bad | 00:30 |
| conk | im totally new 2 this thx for claering that up | 00:30 |
| bsmith093 | i thought i was soemthing like mount /dev/proc -o touch /mntubuntu or something along those lines, i just cant remember the exact thing and i know if i screwup i might klill the system | 00:30 |
| IdleOne | drizzt_: stop asking for people to be kicked. he is new and does not know the rules of the channel. explain the rules instead. | 00:30 |
| kla | Hi, I was installing some updated and I noticed a en_GB addon has been added to my firefox... was that intentional? | 00:30 |
| zcat[1] | there are no viruses for linux, other than 'proof of concept' ones which nobody has ever seen in the wild. There are unlikely to evcer be any viruses for Linux either, as long as people stick to package management and don't install random crap from random websites like in windows | 00:30 |
| Murdoc | Monotoko: are you suggesting he go about using a computer without virus protection | 00:30 |
| drizzt_ | IdleOne, he's blatantly trolling | 00:30 |

| Deathspawn | zcat[1], they do. Their number is so low and open source gets updated so quickly that viruses seem like nothing. | 00:34 |

| conk | whats ur deal with me | 00:34 |
| IdleOne | conk: working in IT has nothing to do with knowing what you are talking about :/ anyway Ubuntu is point and click as much as you like and can be command like as much as you like | 00:34 |

| peppermint_ | I can't believe Ubuntu devs do not check their servers | 00:35 |
| acerimmer_ | peppermint_: are you getting that on download then? | 00:35 |
| draod | conk: i'm not sure what kind of freedom you're looking for, but your games will run best on the system they were designed for. linux will probably not deliver the consumer experience you seem to seek. | 00:35 |

| acerimmer_ | [clay]: is grub your bootloader | 01:12 |
| [clay] | uh, pretty sure | 01:12 |
| [clay] | :) | 01:12 |
| acerimmer_ | [clay]: what version of ubuntu? | 01:13 |
| marty | Hi, my computer was suspended, and I turned it back on and it was showing my screensaver because it was locked, all normal. But now all I can see there is my unresponsive mouse cursor on a black screen. So I'm here on TTY 2 asking you. Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome. | 01:13 |
| carloslicea | floogy: thanks... now, where can I fint what do every one of those packages contain? | 01:13 |
| [clay] | 9.04 | 01:13 |
| simps | drizzt_, i'm pretty noob. how do i do that? :x | 01:13 |
| drizzt_ | why people always have prorblems with wireless and video? since 2008 lol | 01:13 |
| wisey | marty, I know you can code an interface in a programming language because i've done it but I was wondering if os's and engines were mainly written in a scripting language that was derived from the engine which might be written using a programming language. | 01:13 |
| carloslicea | floogy: and protobuffers 2.3 :) | 01:13 |
| acerimmer_ | [clay]: so you should still be running grub "legacy" and need to edit that | 01:13 |
| nimbus | I have font problems just to be different! | 01:13 |
| carloslicea | drizzt_: actually, those problems are as old as Linux; in fact, it just has gotten better | 01:13 |
| hiexpo | we don't have probs with wireless | 01:13 |
| drizzt_ | wisey, nope, all binaries written in C and built with gcc | 01:14 |
| Cinnamon | does 10.04 have better support then 9.04 | 01:14 |
| nina_ | ehhhh lost | 01:14 |
| wisey | its all pixels at the end of the day but i'm trying to get my head around what people have said in lectures | 01:14 |
| Vigo | marty: Did you Un Lock it? | 01:14 |
| acerimmer_ | [clay]: try this http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ | 01:14 |
| simps | i dunno ;( wireless problems suck | 01:14 |
| ramesh7a77u | APA format http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ | 01:14 |
| Cinnamon | yes they do | 01:14 |
| simps | it doesnt seem like a wireless problem though. just a usb one? | 01:14 |
| hiexpo | Cinnamon, best distro for ubuntu i think is 9..10 \ | 01:15 |
| marty | wisey: I'm not sure if this is the right place ot be asking that. In any case, it would (in my opinion, anyway) be a bit odd to write the whole OS (kernel, libraries etc.) in scripting languages. Compiled, low-level languages like C tend to run quicker on many systems and have better memory controls. | 01:15 |
| doug__ | IdleOne, there is a wireless-lucid-generic, just not the other one. | 01:15 |
| floogy | <carloslicea> dpkg -L <packagename> | 01:15 |
| marty | Vigo: No, the whole GUI is frozen. | 01:15 |
| doug__ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8627043&postcount=5 which packages in Lucid would be equal to the ones they say to install here, I can find the wireless one but not the other one. | 01:15 |
| hiexpo | !gui | 01:15 |
| ubottu | The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) | 01:15 |
| Vigo | marty: Ok, looking now..... | 01:16 |
| Cinnamon | ok thanks hiexpo | 01:16 |
| [clay] | acerimmer_, i do have a grub.cfg | 01:16 |
| osmosis | If I want raid and LVM, do I do a software raid and then put LVM partitions on it, or is there "raid lvm" partitions that are specific to LVM? | 01:16 |
| wisey | marty, a shell script is still a script though right. | 01:16 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | I've a quick question regarding the filesystem? | 01:17 |

| hiexpo | Cinnamon, no pron trust me i have been linux 30 years | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | acerimmer_: grub.cfg is grub2 | 01:17 |
| ramesh7a77u | really | 01:17 |
| test34 | Xubuntu_newb15, just ask | 01:17 |
| Cinnamon | so can u help me get my computer set up | 01:17 |
| drizzt_ | lol linux is only 19 | 01:17 |
| ramesh7a77u | many she invented Linux | 01:17 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Anybody got a pizza timer; something to let me know when "33 or free" kicks in? | 01:18 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | Sorry, since I'm used to windows (please no flames :P) and on windows, if I want some space on storage, I'd just make a folder on C:, e.g C:/MyStuff, for storage. Is there any equivalency of this in Xubuntu? Can I simply put a new folder in the (/) directory or will it mess things up? | 01:18 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| hiexpo | linux was built on unix don' be a wise guy i will call u on it | 01:19 |
| dsnyders | Xubuntu_newb15, You do exactly the same thing, except you put the folders in /home/[user]. | 01:19 |
| Vigo | marty: Wowies, I found a page on the forums, you want it? | 01:19 |
| drizzt_ | Xubuntu_newb15, just create /public folder and store stuff there | 01:19 |
| wisey | marty, so the name of the scripting language in the case of shell scripts is shell | 01:20 |
| drizzt_ | Linux was not build on Unix, are you mad? | 01:20 |
| carloslicea | it seems I need protobuf2.3... where can I search for PPAs? | 01:20 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | Hm,so I shouldn't ever add stuff in the root directory of (/)? | 01:20 |
| marty | Vigo, umm, I guess so. I'm stuck in IRSSI right now, and by 'stuck' I mean that a URl would be much help, I'm afraid :( | 01:20 |
| Cinnamon | windows is much easier the Linux | 01:20 |
| ramesh7a77u | goto launchpad.net | 01:21 |
| carloslicea | got it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 01:21 |
| drizzt_ | Xubuntu_newb15, it's not comfortable due to restrictive permissions everywhere | 01:21 |
| Mrcheesenips | Cinnamon, thats an opinion | 01:21 |
| dsnyders | Xubuntu_newb15, In general, no. You should leave the root folder alone. There are specific folders for stuff like that. | 01:21 |
| acerimmer_ | [clay]: let's find the ubuntu version: go to a terminal and type lsb_release -a | 01:21 |
| [clay] | 9.10 | 01:21 |
| Vigo | marty: Yeah, is what I figured, let me think a moment,,,, | 01:21 |
| kiaas | I have much more difficulty with windows, Cinnamon. | 01:21 |
| acerimmer_ | [clay]: then it's grub2 for sure. | 01:21 |
| nimbus | Nobody has any ideas what might cause this? My fonts in gnome-appearance are all Sans http://dl.dropbox.com/u/525416/Screenshot-cirruslyceltic.png | 01:21 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | All right. I've also used Fedora before, and I notice that it has a root account, while Xubuntu does not. I was told that one should NEVER log into the root account? | 01:21 |
| acerimmer_ | !grub2>[clay] | 01:21 |
| [clay] | did i say 9.04? i'm losing my mind lol | 01:22 |
| Cinnamon | i gess | 01:22 |
| Vigo | marty: Do you have Metacity running? | 01:22 |
| marty | It'd probably be bash, wisey, the bourne-again shell, or simply sh. If you actually want to make an application or something I'd use Python as a scripting language. | 01:22 |
| marty | Yes Vigo | 01:22 |
| edbian | Xubuntu_newb15, It's ok to use root to do things only root can do. Such as install software. Ubuntu uses sudo which is a sort of like faking it. | 01:22 |
| ramesh7a77u | search in the launchpad.net for PPAs | 01:22 |
| [clay] | welp, i ran grub-update and it rebooted fine | 01:22 |
| [clay] | thanks for the help hah | 01:22 |
| drizzt_ | Xubuntu_newb15, you may have root on like in Debian | 01:22 |
| kiaas | Back in Ubuntu 7.04 it wasn't that hard to coax ubuntu into letting one log into root. | 01:23 |
| swordz | Hi. I'm trying to keep my clock syncronised. I press 'install NTP support' but it doesn't actually happen, the pop-up just reappears. Any ideas as to why? | 01:23 |
| kiaas | Root still exists on ubuntu (it has to) but it's much more difficult to log into it. not that there's any reason to do so. | 01:23 |
| Cinnamon | i keep geting errors | 01:23 |
| edbian | Xubuntu_newb15, When people say you shouldn't "log in" as root they are referring to logging in as if you're just sitting down to use the computer. If you're just going to type or paper, or make a spread sheet, or browse the web and you don't need to be root you shouldn't be root. | 01:23 |
| edbian | Xubuntu_newb15, Make sense? | 01:23 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | Yeah, I've experienced that with apt-get. Sudo is required for that command on Ubuntu right? | 01:23 |
| hiexpo | linux was built on unix don' be a wise guy i will call u on it? | 01:23 |
| Vigo | marty: Is mouse working? | 01:23 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | Yes, thank you edbian | 01:24 |
| floogy | <carloslicea> Did you find any protobuf PPAs? | 01:24 |
| edbian | Xubuntu_newb15, Yes. because that is package management and only root can do that sort of thing. Although I think there are some things you can do with apt-get that don't require root access. (i.e. in aptitude you can "show" without being root) | 01:24 |
| marty | Vigo Oh, hmm, I just killed a process, some sort of screensaver thing, when I was looking at my processes. The problem seems to have fixed itself. | 01:25 |
| wisey | marty, should you make a clear distiction between a scripting language and a programming language, because I've heard of python being mentioned as both? | 01:25 |
| marty | Thanks for the help though Vigo! | 01:25 |
| dsnyders | Xubuntu_newb15, root is used for doing things that affect every user on the system. Normally you don't use such an account so that if you make a mistake, it limits the damage. | 01:25 |
| drizzt_ | which mode bit i should set so the files inherit group from parent folder? | 01:25 |
| Vigo | marty: Glad I could be of some assistance, I guess, come back when you are in GUI. ok? | 01:25 |
| Cinnamon | i yep geting an error saying " E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open | 01:25 |
| Cinnamon | keep* | 01:25 |
| carloslicea | floogy: no :S | 01:26 |
| marty | I didn't mean to mention it that way wisey. I mean "If you want to use some sort of scripting language on Linux, I'd recommend Python." | 01:26 |
| kiaas | Root is god. if you are root, and make a mistake... Think of the damage a god can do. | 01:26 |
| marty | Sure thing Vigo | 01:26 |
| Mrcheesenips | Cinnamon, do you have another package manager open? | 01:26 |

| dsnyders | Vigo, That tells the time. I want a count down timer: [click]32:59, 32:58... 0:03, 0:02, 0:01, FREE PIZZA! | 01:30 |
| Cinnamon | should i restart my computer | 01:30 |
| edbian | Andrew12, Well first off, your HDD is very good at multiple writes / reads and won't get warn out unless it's a solid state drive. To actually talk about what's stored in memory you need a programming language that is lower level that the bash shell. Something like C would be good. | 01:31 |
| Vigo | dsnyders: Egg Timer | 01:31 |
| Andrew12 | Python. | 01:31 |
| edbian | Andrew12, I don't think the OS will let 1 program access the RAM allocated to another program at the same time. That's like, a massive security flaw. | 01:31 |
| kiaas | RAMDISKs are awesome. | 01:31 |
| bricky | Vigo: yeah ive looked at it a little I am looking up and writing down :P | 01:31 |
| drizzt_ | edbian, /dev/shm lol | 01:31 |
| Andrew12 | kiaas: that's exactly what I'm asking | 01:31 |
| edbian | Andrew12, I don't know if python lets you talk about memory that low level. In C you can literally say things like "at this address store this thing" | 01:32 |
| edbian | drizzt_, I don't get it ? | 01:32 |
| Andrew12 | I'm just asking if ubuntu has any default RAMdisks | 01:32 |
| Andrew12 | drizzt_: is it /dev/shm? | 01:32 |
| edbian | Andrew12, For the record I love python | 01:32 |
| Andrew12 | lol | 01:32 |
| edbian | kiaas, What's a ram disk? | 01:32 |
| Andrew12 | edbian: df | grep shm | 01:33 |
| Andrew12 | that's your ramdisk | 01:33 |
| kiaas | edbian, a portion of RAM allocated as storage, it acts like a Harddrive...but it very fast and doesn't remain after reboot | 01:33 |
| tsimpson | Andrew12: mount -t ramfs /place/to/mount/to | 01:33 |

| Andrew12 | edbian: not necessarily | 01:36 |
| floogy | <carloslicea> http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages | 01:36 |
| edbian | Andrew12, Then what is the difference? | 01:36 |
| Mrcheesenips | Cinnamon, an upgrade is not going to "mess up" your PC | 01:37 |
| Samual_ | Scripting languages are executed on run time, but some CAN be compiled | 01:37 |
| Andrew12 | what Samual_ said | 01:37 |
| Mrcheesenips | It might screw something up on the HD, but its not going to do anymore than that | 01:37 |
| Andrew12 | and some scripting languages like perl are actually compiled at runtime | 01:37 |

| blendmaster1024 | wisey, you *are* aware that they don't give you the source code? so, in effect, the program is encrypted? | 01:44 |

| Cinnamon | edbian, it says " E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open " | 01:45 |
| edbian | Cinnamon, You have a package manager open somewhere. Check out ps -e | 01:45 |
| floogy | <carloslicea> Did you get it? | 01:45 |
| wisey | edbian, so if it was open source, you'd be giving users access to the code base through different means than the off the shelf package? | 01:45 |

| Kjartan | Hey, I've got a strange problem. My G, H and backspace key has stopped working. Everything else works great. :s | 01:45 |

| floogy | <bastidrazor> I thought he uses debian | 01:46 |
| wisey | like a visual c++ project directory with all the source files contained | 01:46 |

| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: Open Solaris is NOT linux. | 02:52 |
| MetalStormy | no UNIX ?? | 02:52 |
| jvizzle | dr_willis when i save them it sometimes fucks the spacing up and my butt hurt teachers fuck with me | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: its a totally differant operating system based on Solaris - Linux is Not UNIX . linux is Unix-like. | 02:53 |
| IdleOne | !language | jvizzle | 02:53 |
| ubottu | jvizzle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:53 |
| biovore | Gnu not Unix :-P | 02:53 |
| jvizzle | cmon guys im sorry that i cussed but please. | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | jvizzle: check the openoffice channel or forums - perhaps they know of some bug/issue/work around. | 02:53 |
| IdleOne | jvizzle: Please don't cuss. | 02:53 |
| jvizzle | idlone: i love you | 02:53 |
| jvizzle | idleone: i mean no harm i love the ubuntu | 02:54 |
| MetalStormy | okay thx but open solaris is opensource i think to know, but have i there the same like ubuntu that i can install free software on this plattform? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | MetalStormy | 02:54 |
| ubottu | MetalStormy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 02:54 |
| MetalStormy | it is from SUN microsystem | 02:54 |
| IdleOne | jvizzle: if you did you would know I don't like cussing and neither does Ubuntu. BTW #oo.o does not like it either | 02:54 |
| MetalStormy | manual means with konsole help | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: you can install 100000's of things on linux. Linux is under the GPL license.. so its opensourced also | 02:54 |
| maco | MetalStormy: im pretty sure OpenSolaris isn't linux...it's solaris | 02:55 |
| saTTY | Yeah | 02:55 |
| MetalStormy | damn | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: Youmay want tor read the Ubuntu 'manual' at the url just given to start learning Ubuntu Basics. YOu have a lot of terms confused. | 02:55 |
| maco | MetalStormy: and yes, you can compile free software to run on it. why not? there are package managers for solaris like pkg-get, but this really isnt on topic for here | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: theres very few things that OpenSolaris does that Linux cant do. | 02:55 |
| jvizzle | idleone: i appologize please relax love is in the air..... i was trying to get some help for school my mouth was made dirty by the service that protects the United States of America. | 02:55 |
| maco | Dr_Willis: oh i thought the question was the other way around. | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | maco: was it? :) perhaps i missread. | 02:56 |
| MetalStormy | yeah opensolaris for developers i have hear. | 02:56 |
| IdleOne | jvizzle: ok. stop trying to kiss up to me it won't work and is annoying + offtopic. | 02:56 |
| maco | Dr_Willis: i was reading as "ubuntu has all this stuff. if i use opensolaris will i still get these features?" | 02:56 |
| MetalStormy | and the basics of ubuntu, for that i use ubuntuusers.de | 02:56 |
| jvizzle | idleone: can you answer my question?\ | 02:57 |

| acidchild | hello, anyone know why i can only place audio as root, even though i'm in the 'audio' group as my user? | 02:57 |
| acidchild | alsa... btw | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: theres a few features in Opensolaris thats not in linux. If you want to develop in linux.. well.. use linux. | 02:57 |

| MetalStormy | but the terminal commands differnt as linux then is that right, or if i can work with ubuntu,then i can work on solaris with the same knownledge,too ?? | 02:57 |
| IdleOne | jvizzle: Dr_Willis did he suggested you ask the openoffice channel | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: actually the terminal commands should be 90% the same | 02:58 |
| _Brun0_ | in nautilus, is there a way to show current path as text? | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | MetalStormy: since both can use the same core tools/commands of 'unix' | 02:58 |
| MetalStormy | yes okay, at time i want only information me, for my private knownledge | 02:58 |
| jvizzle | idleone: you say ask the channel but you don't help me with the direction? #openoffice? | 02:58 |
| MetalStormy | okay thx that i want known | 02:58 |
| xy | anyone has used habak ? i'm trying to get "multi-layered backgrounds" to work, i.e. a collation of 3 images, but looks like, it only draws 1 layer. :\ also i can't get -mc to work | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | jvizzle: I belive it is #oo.o | 02:59 |
| maco | MetalStormy: some will be the same, some will be different. and itll depend on whether the solaris admin installed the gnu tools on solaris. for example, gnu's "sed" has -i, while solaris's does not. why are you asking this here instead of in a solaris channel anyway? | 02:59 |
| jvizzle | or #Q_Q? | 02:59 |

| mek8630 | does anybody know how to get the avast antivirus to work in ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| MetalStormy | so much in german channel everybody will sleep or ? | 03:01 |
| tsimpson | it's 4am in Germany, so most people will be asleep | 03:01 |
| MetalStormy | 4am and 2 minutes ^^ | 03:02 |
| mek8630 | so nobody knows how to get Avast anti-virus to work in Ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| MetalStormy | what a clock is in USA yet | 03:03 |

| maco | jrib: extra-west | 03:04 |

| maco | MetalStormy: cspan.com i think | 03:05 |
| Dotblank-2 | This is sorta UNR | 03:05 |
| MetalStormy | why it is illegal in german tv we have cnn | 03:05 |
| MetalStormy | okay thx i look at that | 03:05 |
| MetalStormy | why it is illegal, in german tv we have cnn | 03:05 |
| mek8630 | tsimpson: well I am not worried about transmitting a virus to windows because I have anti-viruses on those but I am wondering is there any circumstances where I might have to worry about viruses or other malware with Linux ? | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | MetalStormy: it has to do with copyright laws and all that legal stuff. | 03:06 |
| maco | MetalStormy: that'd be CNN International ;-) | 03:07 |
| mek8630 | tsimpson: the reason I ask is because you said normally. | 03:07 |
| MetalStormy | i dont know why, i like to see, i look favorite us tv as german | 03:07 |
| MetalStormy | mhm | 03:07 |
| MetalStormy | damn | 03:07 |
| tsimpson | mek8630: only if you install random things off the internet, which you will probably never need to do as we have a package manage with trusted packages | 03:07 |
| MetalStormy | i like fox morning tv | 03:07 |
| Dotblank-2 | Im in lucid and the encrypt and sign options are removed from right clicking files. Is this normal or a change and is there anyway to get the options back? | 03:08 |
| MetalStormy | and fox LA | 03:08 |
| MetalStormy | and the us consumer informations | 03:08 |
| maco | MetalStormy: i suspect they block non-US internet people, but you can try fox.com | 03:08 |
| mek8630 | tsimpson: do you know much about video converting and dvd playback and burning? | 03:08 |
| MetalStormy | they block ip ?? | 03:08 |
| MetalStormy | then i need an proxy in us | 03:09 |
| mek8630 | tsimpson: the reason I ask is because I cannot figure out how to get mine to work and I have even downloaded that restriction thing to unlock it. | 03:09 |
| WareWolf2000 | so thunar has a 'extract to...' shell extension.. would it be so friggin hard to put that into nautilus?? omg these people are dumb.. we don't want to go into 'archive manager' we just want to unrar the file, and all 20 of the other files .. and let it know where the files should go.. | 03:09 |
| MetalStormy | i bought from usa server hoster, will tv then run ?? | 03:09 |
| tsimpson | mek8630: mine just works, I remember following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#DVD a while ago to get it going | 03:11 |
| jrib | WareWolf2000: as is usually the case, patches are always welcomed... | 03:11 |
| MetalStormy | someone knows a channel for chat with usa people ?? | 03:12 |
| mek8630 | tsimpson: hmm see I followed all those steps and still mine doesn't work to convert or to burn or to playback. I am not sure what else to do, besides maybe reinstalling all those things again I suppose. | 03:12 |

| arimmer | tristan3199: wubi installations are not as stable as dual boot. wubi fakes windows into thinking that ubuntu is a windows app. BUT, defrag and all other windows faults are then applied to your ubuntu. | 03:58 |
| erebus | goomba54: SPM is under Administration menu | 03:58 |
| ramesh7a77u | synaptic | 03:58 |
| ramesh7a77u | u dont need app for that | 03:58 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: easiest fix is to delete then reinstall your wubi and make sure you give it sufficent space during the installation - 10G? | 03:58 |
| Vital_ | hi | 03:59 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer: its probably not wubi | 03:59 |
| Vital_ | can somebody help me plz? | 03:59 |
| IdleOne | Vital_: hi, with? | 03:59 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: when you boot up and have to choose an OS do you see GRUB 1.## at teh very top of your screen?? | 04:00 |
| Vital_ | hi! | 04:00 |
| mickster04 | !ask | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:00 |
| Vital_ | it is concerning a bootable USB drive | 04:00 |
| Ranjan | Vital_ :: please ask your question | 04:00 |
| tristan3199 | it says windows grub manager | 04:00 |

| tristan3199 | then grub 2 | 04:00 |

| Vital_ | i get his error message | 04:00 |
| Vital_ | this | 04:00 |

| Vital_ | every time i try to boot from it | 04:01 |
| qm7 | can anyone please help me with my freezing programs | 04:01 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: Windows doesn't have a grub manager . Boot windows and see if there's an Ubuntu app in your installed programs.; If yes, it's wubi | 04:01 |
| tristan3199 | if i chooses ubuntu it loads another grub (grub2) | 04:01 |
| SkEmO | jimqode i used the minimal cd xD | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | goomba54: what are you trying to do? | 04:01 |
| jimqode | SkEmO, that is why :) | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | Vital_: Were you asking about the same problem a few days ago? | 04:01 |
| SkEmO | but what do i do now? | 04:01 |
| Vital_ | no jordan | 04:01 |
| Vital_ | this is my first time in this room | 04:01 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: windows DOES have a BOOT manager which could then boot grub. but only in wubi installations | 04:01 |
| goomba54 | trying to find compiz which is apparently already installed but i cant find it in my applications menu anywhere | 04:02 |
| mickster04 | Vital_: re-set up the usb pen with unetbootin is my advice | 04:02 |
| BFP | jimqode: It's WPA2, but even if I disable security it won't get an IP address. | 04:02 |
| jimqode | SkEmO, reinstall from the desktop cd | 04:02 |
| shoe_pick | vital: do you know how to go into BIOS of your MB and change boot menu? | 04:02 |
| ramesh7a77u | does any one know ata1 ata2 | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | goomba54: look for and install compizconfig-settings-manager | 04:02 |
| Ranjan | Vital_ :: using this usb disk creator from linux I too was having some problem so I used usb startup disk creator from windows | 04:02 |
| SkEmO | wat! | 04:02 |
| Vital_ | i already tried 3 times, with unetbootin and the pendrive linux software | 04:02 |
| SkEmO | i cant do that | 04:02 |
| soreau | goomba54: sys>prefs>appearance to enable it and install ccsm to get the settings manager | 04:02 |
| Vital_ | and i tried 2 sperate iso images | 04:02 |
| SkEmO | hence why i used this | 04:02 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer.. can i do a normal duel boot ??? | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | !enter | SkEmO | 04:02 |
| ubottu | SkEmO: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:02 |
| jimqode | SkEmO, try alternate install cd then | 04:02 |
| tristan3199 | while keeping my settings | 04:02 |
| jimqode | BFP, does the wireless symbol show as connected? | 04:03 |
| Jordan_U | Vital_: Ok, this is a known but with unetbootin. You can work around it by deleting all of the files unetbootin created, then running unetbootin again. Or, if you plan to keep this system up to date, I would recommend you actually just do a standard install rather than using unetbootin at all. | 04:03 |
| Jordan_U | Vital_: s/but/bug/ | 04:03 |
| BFP | No, it gives me a "bad password" message. | 04:03 |
| jimqode | BFP, when you disable authentication? | 04:03 |
| BFP | No, then it says "can't get IP address." | 04:03 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: yes. BUT, you might want to keep that wubi for awhile. you CAN fix it. If it's wubi, as I suspect, use windows to delete it. Then reinstall it as a wubi and give it lots of room. | 04:03 |
| Vital_ | ok | 04:04 |
| jimqode | BFP, what is your wifi card? | 04:04 |
| BFP | It's an Asus USB-N13 adapter. | 04:04 |
| Ranjan | Vital_ :: I used Universal-USB-Installer-v1.5.7.exe from windows and It worked for me you can too gave an try :) | 04:04 |
| arimmer | If you really want a dual boot, I agree it's better but you have to be more careful on your installation. You should also have your Windows | 04:04 |
| Hammer89 | So I can't find xorg.conf on my computer (although everything is running fine)... I've tried 'locate xorg.conf' with no joy. Is there something new with 10.04 that'd explain this? | 04:04 |
| arimmer | dvds on hand | 04:04 |
| Vital_ | ok | 04:04 |
| RedXIII | Anyone understand how to read the photorec screen? | 04:04 |
| RedXIII | I started photorec 2 hours ago, its been recovering what I wanted | 04:05 |
| jimqode | BFP, what does 'lsusb' command say your wifi card name is? | 04:05 |
| RedXIII | but the estimated time seems wrong | 04:05 |
| BFP | Let me see... | 04:05 |
| goomba54 | aha thanks so much =) | 04:05 |
| Vital_ | I'll try it thanks for the help everbody! | 04:05 |
| hmw | Hammer89: It's all automagic now. One can create /etx/X11/xorg.conf though | 04:05 |
| qm7 | can anyone please tell me how to fix this freezing :( | 04:05 |
| BFP | "0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc." | 04:05 |

| tristan3199 | why sir? will i be messin with my windows install?? | 04:06 |
| SkEmO | psh i needed to do the sudo tasksel | 04:07 |
| BFP | Ah, thank you. That was a bit counterintuitive. | 04:07 |
| Hammer89 | hmw: thanks | 04:07 |
| onetinsoldier | BFP: :-) you're welcome | 04:07 |
| BFP | Anyway, to reference the other thing, I couldn't get network-manager to see any networks, but Wicd will at least show me them, even if it won't connect. | 04:07 |
| Fixmypc956 | help with gdesklets | 04:07 |
| Fixmypc956 | anyone? | 04:07 |
| qm7 | Fixmypc956: state the problem | 04:08 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: the wubi installation changes your bootloader. Dual boot does, too, but in a different configuration. Anyway, on the chance that soemthing goes wrong, no bootloader, no boot. And fixing the windows bootloader is a huge PITA that generally requires the windows DVD | 04:08 |
| acovrig | I can't boot, could it be a ln -s I made? | 04:08 |
| cjdevlin | i am getting a redirect loop error. i have cleared both the cache and cookies, and restarted the browser. i have googled and found nothing that helps. can anyone provide further guidance? | 04:08 |
| Fixmypc956 | well I installed gdesklets from synaptic manager and when i try to start it nothing happens | 04:08 |
| tristan3199 | so whats the best way to install as duel boot.. preferably as ubuntu default | 04:09 |
| tristan3199 | wubi? | 04:09 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: dual or wubi. Choose one. | 04:09 |
| Fixmypc956 | qm7: Im running 10.4 | 04:09 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: same here as well. must be bugged | 04:09 |
| Hammer89 | tristan3199: I've had nothing but success installing ubuntu dual boot with vista from a ubuntu live CD | 04:10 |
| acovrig | Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format | 04:10 |
| zombiedreamr | ubuntu and 7 | 04:10 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: if you're serious about keeping ubuntu and learning more, dual. If you're not committed and want an easy out, wubi | 04:10 |
| jimqode | BFP, it seems to be a problem with the latest driver for your card. | 04:10 |
| Fixmypc956 | onetinsoldier: u had the same problem? | 04:10 |
| BFP | Oh? Where did you find this information? And can I fix it? | 04:10 |
| urthmover | ubuntu native install and vmware your windows | 04:10 |
| Ranjan | tristan3199:: wubi can cause you some trouble as .... using this you'll install linux inside windows emitating ubuntu as one normal software | 04:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: yes. i just tried after i saw your message. i decided to try it out. no dice here either | 04:11 |
| jimqode | BFP, i suggest running the older kernel if you upgraded to 10.04. otherwise reinstalling 9.10 seems to be the easiest option. | 04:11 |
| tristan3199 | preferr duel.. then i wont have this error again.. correct | 04:11 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: well not THIS error. :) anyway, what windows do you have? | 04:11 |
| Ranjan | tristan3199:: problem may occur after defragmintig your windows part | 04:11 |
| batanu | well.. resetting gnome panel didn't fix the problem of merging empathy icon with mail ubuntu notifier - on ubuntu 10.04 | 04:12 |
| acovrig | on boot, I get Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format, why? | 04:12 |
| Fixmypc956 | onetinsoldier: I completely removed the pkg and reinstalled thinking maybe something went wrong, but got the same outcome after reinstall | 04:12 |

| BFP | How would I run the older kernel? | 04:12 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: wait, what? you're RUNNING windows from usb?? | 04:12 |
| qm7 | Fixmypc956: why are you telling me that? | 04:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: roger. probably nothing we've done wrong. i think they're just bugged at this time | 04:13 |
| tristan3199 | no not running it from usb.. sorry.. ill be more clear.. | 04:13 |
| fiveWork | anyone run access db's through a samba server? | 04:13 |

| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: i'm guessing, but i bet if i went to look at the bug report page for the package, it's been reported | 04:14 |
| qm7 | Fixmypc956: i meant state the problem in case someone else knows | 04:14 |

| brieweb | Is there a command called gconf? | 04:17 |

| Fixmypc956 | onetinsoldier: i dont know if what i am getting from synaptic is the same version as what is on the gdesklet site | 04:17 |

| Grimbone | arimmer, tristn, can one of you invitme me as well? I'm a dual boot question as well and would like to hear what you saying | 04:18 |
| jimqode | BFP, i guess it'll be all pain and suffering then. may I suggest you go back to 9.10 until the issue with the driver is fixed | 04:18 |
| mickster04 | brieweb: i can't remember, but its an easy googler | 04:18 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer: ill come back from ubuntu.. im in windows | 04:19 |
| BFP | jimqode: Hm, I got the driver from the last thread on the subject. Can you point me in the direction of where I can keep an eye on updates to it? | 04:19 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer: if i uninstall wubi i cant boot ubuntu tho???? | 04:19 |

| arimmer | tristan3199: one thing at a time. IS this a wubi? Do you see Ubuntu in your installed windows programs? | 04:20 |
| BFP | At any rate, at least I now have an idea of what to do. | 04:21 |

| mickster04 | brieweb: first result | 04:21 |
| jimqode | BFP, just google it until you see a [SOLVED] thread with your problem. I couldn't find a bug report for this issue on launchpad, maybe you can consider making one. | 04:21 |
| jimqode | BFP, you could also try to use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper. | 04:21 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: while you're looking - the process for a dual boot would be to delete the wubi, verify that windows will still boot correctly then install uuntu as a DUAL boot. | 04:21 |
| BFP | I don't have any experience using ndiswrapper, although I guess I do have the windows drivers here. | 04:22 |
| Grimbone | ndiswrapper is only scary the first time | 04:22 |
| Grimbone | :) | 04:22 |
| BFP | Now is that time. | 04:22 |
| BFP | Please be gentle. | 04:22 |
| tristan3199 | i do see wubi... one moment | 04:23 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: thanks. no newer version there. there hasn't been a newer upstream version in a year and a half. we've got the same version as listed on that site | 04:23 |
| Grimbone | heh, the light went on for me when I finally figured out the .inf files business | 04:23 |
| jimqode | BFP, I have to go to sleep now but there are tons of resources on the web, and i'm sure there'll be someone else here happy to help. Good luck. | 04:23 |
| Grimbone | <--- not an expert, so won't offer counsel | 04:23 |
| BFP | Sure, thanks, Mr. qode. | 04:24 |
| tristan3199 | yes.. ubuntu is in add \ remove programs | 04:24 |
| BFP | Can anybody offer me advice on using ndiswrapper? | 04:24 |
| Fixmypc956 | onetinsoldier: guess we have no luck huh? | 04:24 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: ok. solid proof that you put it in as a wubi. | 04:24 |
| arimmer | Tristan: BE SURE you want to drop the wubi and dual boot instead. Otherwise just fix the wubi... | 04:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: nope. not at this time anyway | 04:25 |
| tristan3199 | i do | 04:25 |
| batanu | i thought wubi was buggy.. whole UBUNTU is BUGGY! lol | 04:25 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: using your windows add/remove programs; delete ubuntu | 04:25 |
| edbian | BFP, What advice are you looking for? | 04:26 |
| doug__ | Ok guys, I'm having issues installing the Nvidia drivers, I installed them a while ago and all went well then I needed to reinstall them and now it's telling me kernel-source is not installed. So I installed Linux-source and Linux-source-2.3 so on, it's still giving me the error. Not sure what's going on here? | 04:26 |
| tristan3199 | uninstall ubuntu? | 04:26 |

| tristan3199 | correct | 04:26 |

| mickster04 | whichhas better support for ubuntu Nvidia or ATI? | 04:27 |
| edbian | doug__, Try using aptitude to install instead of apt-get sometimes it figures things out better than apt-get | 04:27 |
| edbian | !aptitude | doug | 04:27 |
| ubottu | doug: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 04:27 |

| doug__ | edbian, that's what I used to install the kernel sources | 04:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Fixmypc956: google-gadgets maybe | 04:27 |
| arimmer | Fixmypc956: cairo dock?? | 04:28 |
| edbian | BFP, Not a terrible idea. 10.04 will get better with time. You could say that 9.10 has a 6 month head start on it! | 04:28 |
| doug__ | edbian, the nvidia drivers I need to install have to be run via the sh command as my video card requires the latest ones. | 04:28 |
| edbian | doug__, Then aptitude won't help (obviously) it's only better at dependency generation | 04:28 |

| tristan3199 | arimmer: will i lose my files in ubuntu? | 04:30 |
| doug__ | well, it's not really an emulator | 04:30 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: ubuntu-desktop* | 04:30 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: YES | 04:30 |
| edbian | arimmer, bricky WINE: "Wine Is Not an Emulator" | 04:30 |
| mickster04 | edbian: yeah but it is | 04:30 |
| BFP | Tell me, how bad an idea is it to use the 64-bit versions of ubuntu right now? | 04:30 |
| edbian | bricky, It emulates the windows API | 04:30 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: if you wan those files, save them | 04:30 |
| mickster04 | BFP: safe iirc | 04:31 |
| edbian | mickster04, I know. Deceptive name in my opinion | 04:31 |
| bricky | I know it has something to do with emulatiing | 04:31 |
| ocatacoo | ok so which is the gnome package ? | 04:31 |
| bricky | edbian: very nice app tho | 04:31 |
| bricky | just seems to slow the rest of my pc | 04:31 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: that what does tabbing the name suggest to you? | 04:31 |
| arimmer | BFP: everything i've read suggests that unless you have 4+ gigs of ram, 32 is fine | 04:31 |
| edbian | bricky, It's a wonderful app. I don't use it. | 04:31 |
| BFP | I do have 4 gigs of RAM. | 04:31 |
| doug__ | it's not actually emulating the application or windows it self though, just an enviorment | 04:31 |
| bricky | I want to make a backup before I install more programs and slow my pc | 04:31 |
| edbian | bricky, Try emulating, if you have enough hardware it will scream. | 04:31 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: (Pressing tab when you have ubuntu-d typed in_ | 04:31 |
| mickster04 | ) | 04:31 |
| arimmer | BFP: >4 | 04:32 |
| ocatacoo | is it in rpm or only deb | 04:32 |
| doug__ | some things actually run better under wine though, world of warcraft always ran better in wine then in actual winows for me | 04:32 |
| bricky | edbian: with wine, or with the box | 04:32 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: ubuntu is deb? | 04:32 |
| BFP | Don't emote at me! RAM was cheaper back then! | 04:32 |
| BFP | Yeah, I was hoping I'd be able to get warcraft to run in Ubuntu. | 04:32 |
| BFP | Where I'd be safe from pesky scammers and their keyloggers. | 04:32 |
| ocatacoo | so rpm doesnt work in ubuntu | 04:32 |
| edbian | bricky, Set up a virtual machine is what I meant to say. A virtual machine running windows will outperform wine if you have enough hardware. | 04:32 |
| doug__ | warcraft was easy to get going | 04:32 |
| mickster04 | BFP: yeah WOW is one of a couple of things that works faster in wine | 04:32 |
| bricky | edbian: ah, you are right about that. | 04:33 |
| arimmer | ocatacoo: "alien" packages MIGHT work | 04:33 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: no? why wouldyou need it to though? | 04:33 |
| BFP | I think last time I tried it ATI cards were having issues with software mouse drivers or something like that. | 04:33 |
| mickster04 | ocatacoo: what arimmer says | 04:33 |
| bricky | edbian: not a bad idea, | 04:33 |
| BFP | That was like in hefty or intrepid, though. | 04:33 |
| doug__ | ah, I've only had an ATI card once in my life.... | 04:33 |
| edbian | I have an ATI card. | 04:33 |
| Akron | new version bump and setup your not being detected automatically close, then i do that from ati vid card. | 04:33 |
| edbian | It works fine | 04:33 |
| doug__ | not a good experience, unfortunately the current Nvidia cards out then were the FX series and was worse lol | 04:33 |
| edbian | never tried it with games in WINE though | 04:33 |
| ocatacoo | But the SELinux isnt dfault | 04:34 |
| tristan3199 | arrimer: can u connect to yahoo chat? | 04:34 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: no yahoo account. skype or facebook chat only | 04:34 |
| bricky | edbian: I just wanna see what catalyst could do | 04:34 |
| Akron | i have geforce fx series) (9780130313584): andrew s.… | 04:34 |
| Akron | nigerians are pretty horrific, i think asm/c would map i imagine using it, then recommend using ubuntu version of yahoo calendar to solve the problem in the ata9 i think the clock is wrong here. | 04:34 |
| Akron | -qs catalyst though | 04:34 |
| bricky | -qs? | 04:35 |
| BFP | Nigerian princes are nothing compared to goldsellers. | 04:35 |
| doug__ | yeah the FX series they really dropped the ball on lol | 04:35 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer: tristan3199us facebook ok? | 04:35 |
| Akron | gushh: yes there is (as hda is awful compared with win7 professional | 04:35 |
| Akron | but ball | 04:35 |
| doug__ | love my GT330M though and my 290 GTX in my desktop | 04:35 |
| maco | Akron: think you coulg et on the topic of ubuntu tech support, please? | 04:35 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: yeah wait one | 04:36 |
| BFP | Without an authenticator, no one is safe from their pestilential presence. | 04:36 |
| maco | BFP: you too. get on topic | 04:36 |
| maco | (hint: nigeria is probably not "on topic") | 04:36 |
| doug__ | Ok guys, I'm having issues installing the Nvidia drivers, I installed them a while ago and all went well then I needed to reinstall them and now it's telling me kernel-source is not installed. So I installed Linux-source and Linux-source-2.3 so on, it's still giving me the error. Not sure what's going on here? | 04:36 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: you need to install the kernel-headers | 04:37 |
| === jenny is now known as untmdsprt | ||
| doug__ | ok will do thanks | 04:37 |
| doug__ | if only I could figure out what I need for my wifi now | 04:37 |
| _liu_ | hi all. | 04:37 |
| edbian | _liu_, Hello | 04:38 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: just to let you know, the package you probably want is.. linux-headers-generic ..if you're using the generic kernel | 04:38 |
| ocatacoo | mickster04: I ask because I use several distros and like some of the features of each so I use xen but would like to test for function | 04:38 |
| _liu_ | i want to ubuntu cluster. | 04:38 |
| untmdsprt | hello, does Skype and Ibus have a problem playing with each other? | 04:38 |
| edbian | _liu_, awesome, do it | 04:38 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, ok I just checked synaptics, and linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic is installed | 04:38 |
| _liu_ | but i don't it | 04:38 |
| tristan3199 | can i duel boot on the same partition | 04:38 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, should I install the 2.6.32-22-generic version as well? | 04:39 |
| tkrn | anybody get outlook 2007 working with wine? | 04:39 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: what do you get from --> uname -r ? | 04:39 |
| === Guest8800 is now known as krish | ||
| onetinsoldier | doug__: yes | 04:39 |
| edbian | _liu_, You don't it? | 04:39 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, I get -22 maybe my kernel updated in one of the apt upgrades lol | 04:39 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, everything makes sense now | 04:40 |
| BFP | To take the topic off of Nigeria and onto Ubuntu, are any of that kind of password-stealing nastinesses browser-specific and capable of hurting me even in Ubuntu? | 04:40 |
| gh | anyone know a good place to find help with getting an old logitech webcam to work? the cam works on other boxes and is recognized by the ubuntu computer just cant get any tools to see it... | 04:40 |
| _liu_ | yes ,i don't know to set it | 04:40 |
| ocatacoo | _liu: you might want to ask here #ubuntu-cloud | 04:40 |
| doug__ | BFP, it's possible but doesn't happen often | 04:40 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: if your just using kernel 2.6.32-22 then you could just purge the old -21 revision as long as your booted into the -22 version | 04:40 |
| edbian | BFP, You really only have to worry about them phishing you. | 04:41 |
| edbian | _liu_, Check out mpicher. I've never set it up but that's what it's for. | 04:41 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, any idea on this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500176 | 04:41 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: charlesh1609 FB | 04:41 |
| BFP | Phishing is not such a worry with an authenticator so I should be good then. | 04:42 |
| _liu_ | thanks all | 04:43 |
| edbian | BFP, Phishing also only works if you're an idiot so you're safe there too. | 04:43 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: i don't know anything about wireless, sorry. you use a laptop/netbook? i'm just simple desktop guy here, and i don't even have any bluetooth components or anything | 04:43 |
| BFP | Yes, there is also that. | 04:43 |
| BFP | But malicious code is apparently quite a problem these days because there's so much profit, and even with Firefox and NoScript you aren't 100% safe. | 04:44 |
| doug__ | onetinsoldier, yea I was mostly wondering about the other package that they said to download. There isn't one that's named the same for Lucid | 04:44 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: maybe wicd? i don't know | 04:44 |
| darin | sdf | 04:45 |
| edbian | BFP, You're safe on linux because even if you get malicious code it won't be run on your system thanks to linux file permissions and user control | 04:45 |
| tristan3199 | by using duel boot vs wubi ill be able to use my HD to store movies and stuff without getting a false "no memory" message correct | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | !search wicd | 04:45 |
| ubottu | Found: | 04:45 |
| maco | BFP: browser-based attacks tend to be cross-platform. if you're worried, setting a password in firefox to encrypt your stored passwords is one approach to mitigating the problem | 04:45 |
| juniorsgv | finally! figured this out | 04:45 |
| edbian | BFP, Unless you go around pulling code off the internet (compiling if necessary) and running without thinking about what it is / does | 04:45 |
| onetinsoldier | !hammertime | 04:46 |
| doug__ | !search wicd | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Found: | 04:46 |
| doug__ | well I saw some people had issues with wicd so not sure | 04:46 |
| doug__ | oh well.....search continues | 04:46 |
| doug__ | brb, time to update the nvidia drivers lol | 04:46 |
| BFP | Oh, wait. Setting a master password in firefox encrypts all the non-master passwords? | 04:47 |
| juniorsgv | is update manager normally slow? sorry new to ubuntu | 04:47 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, Define slow... | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | doug__: yeah, bot wasn't helpful there. i usually just use apt-cache search in terminal | 04:47 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, a minute-ish is normal | 04:47 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, Depending on how much stuff you have to update (and therefore download) | 04:47 |
| ocatacoo | can deb files be made into rpm | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | !info wicd | 04:47 |
| ubottu | wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 39 kB, installed size 88 kB | 04:47 |
| onetinsoldier | !info wicd-gtk | 04:47 |
| ubottu | wicd-gtk (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - GTK+ client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-2 (lucid), package size 142 kB, installed size 776 kB | 04:47 |
| bricky | 'hes into satan, he even somked hash out of a human skull' | 04:48 |
| juniorsgv | but even single files seems to take forever... lol gonna take me forever figure this operating system out. | 04:48 |
| onetinsoldier | bricky: you sure you're in the right channel? lol | 04:48 |
| edbian | ocatacoo, Most if not all .deb packages are open source so you could grab the source code and make a .rpm (might want to alert the maintainer though) | 04:48 |
| bricky | onetinsolder: lol :) | 04:49 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, You can switch the server to get better response times. Go to system -> admin -> software sources | 04:49 |
| ocatacoo | ok letting you know | 04:49 |
| bricky | onetinsolder: crank yankers just makes me rip a gut | 04:50 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, do you see how to do it or do you need more direction? | 04:50 |
| juniorsgv | ah... cool. i saw that earlier browsing. like the new look... and so far everything found and works fine. so what are some top apps i should have a new windows switcher | 04:51 |
| razertek | anyone know how to speed up this ipv6 dns issue with chromium on dell xps420? | 04:51 |
| acovrig | does anyone know what `ln -s dir2 root` in /dir1 do, given /dir1 & /dir1/dir2 exits? | 04:51 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, That last sentence didn't really make sense? | 04:51 |
| edbian | juniorsgv, "top apps" That really depends on what you want to do now doesn't it | 04:52 |
| acovrig | does anyone know what `ln -s dir2 root` in /dir1 do, given /dir1 & /dir1/dir2 exits? | 04:53 |
| arimmer | tristan3199: I gotta get out of the library - no wifi. work with this tutorial and check back tomorrow if still stuck. | 04:53 |
| arimmer | http://www.hackourlives.com/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ | 04:53 |
| tristan3199 | arimmer: thanks | 04:54 |
| SkEmO | who can help me with the minimal cd installation? | 04:54 |
| Random832 | acovrig: symbolic links aren't dependent on existence, and are always relative to where the link is | 04:54 |
| Random832 | acovrig: /dir1/root will be a link to /dir1/dir2 | 04:54 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Do you have a specific question? | 04:54 |
| SkEmO | i did all what the ubuntu help page says, but i still get a shell when rebooting | 04:54 |
| acovrig | Random832, well now I can't boot | 04:54 |
| edbian | SkEmO, You didn't install the server edition by mistake did you? | 04:55 |
| henryubuntu | check out this mexican ubuntu manual, http://www.guia-ubuntu.org/index.php?title=Manual_basico_de_inicio_en_Ubuntu_9.10 | 04:55 |
| SkEmO | edgy360 i did not | 04:55 |
| Random832 | acovrig: uh, what are /dir1 and dir2 really? | 04:55 |
| SkEmO | i used the 32-bit pc edition of lucid | 04:55 |
| acovrig | my equiv to /www | 04:55 |
| Random832 | how would that affect boot? | 04:55 |
| IdleOne | henryubuntu: that is called Spanish | 04:55 |
| bullgard_ | SkEmO: Please put a more specific question here in this channel. | 04:55 |
| edbian | Random832, server edition doesn't have a GUI installed... | 04:55 |
| Random832 | edbian: i wasn't talking to you or SkEmO | 04:56 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Yes, details! Do you get errors during the boot sequence? What kind of shell? bash? busybox? grub? | 04:56 |
| edbian | Random832, Sorry | 04:56 |
| acovrig | `ls -la /boot|grep vmlinuz`="-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90 May 26 14:46 vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486" | 04:56 |
| Grimbone | hahha and yeah, henry, my guess is that that is a translation from Spain and not one of the americas | 04:56 |
| Random832 | acovrig: i'm confused - you said it was your equivalent to /www, not /boot | 04:57 |
| Random832 | _what_ are dir1 and dir2 in this question/ | 04:57 |
| acovrig | I am using /dir1 instead of /www | 04:57 |
| Random832 | ok, what's dir2 | 04:57 |
| acovrig | and I was in /dir1 when I did `ln -s dir2 root` meaning `ln -s /dir1/dir2 /dir1/root` | 04:57 |
| Random832 | i'm trying to figure out how you believe a ln -s in /dir1 or /dir1/dir2 or /www or anything could be responsible for you not being able to boot | 04:57 |
| Random832 | is there something you're not telling me about all this? | 04:57 |
| SkEmO | i didnt got any errors during the installation, after the base system was installed i did the "sudo tasksel" and selected ubuntu desktop, it did all the installation, then it asked me to if i wanted to update the packages, and i did, after it finished i got a terminal like this "skemo@mypcname:~$" | 04:58 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Have you rebooted? | 04:58 |
| edbian | SkEmO, startx | 04:58 |
| edbian | SkEmO, sudo gdm | 04:58 |
| acovrig | Random832, the 'root' instead of '/dir1/root' - when I boot, I get 'Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format' | 04:58 |
| SkEmO | i rebooted yes and i got the welcome to ubuntu, documentation at lalalala then a shell again | 04:58 |
| Random832 | acovrig: why is your boot process even looking in /dir1 ? | 04:59 |
| edbian | SkEmO, startx | 04:59 |
| SkEmO | ok startx is not installed | 04:59 |
| Random832 | or do you just think it's responsible because it's the last thing you did before restarting? | 04:59 |
| amouge | hey guys, instead of downloading the iso for server, is it possible to install server edition off of my regular cd i have burnt already? | 04:59 |
| acovrig | yes | 04:59 |
| SkEmO | im gonna get it, sec | 04:59 |
| Random832 | did you do anything to /sbin/init ? | 04:59 |
| SkEmO | tells me to install xinit, do i do it? | 04:59 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Well that's a problem. startx is part of the X server (you need that) | 04:59 |
| Random832 | wait, that doesn't even tell me | 04:59 |
| Random832 | acovrig: _when_ are you seeing that line? what's the other stuff around it? | 05:00 |
| edbian | SkEmO, I'm really surprised the package manager / installer is failing you on this. | 05:00 |
| acovrig | Random832 are my permissions ok for my kernel? | 05:00 |
| Random832 | whatever your problem is, it's not a symlink in somewhere that the boot process doesn't care about. | 05:00 |
| SkEmO | yeah me too, never happend before | 05:00 |
| Random832 | yes, and booting doesn't care about kernel permissions anyway | 05:00 |
| Random832 | answer the question | 05:00 |
| amouge | :) | 05:01 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Can you "sudo gdm" ? | 05:01 |
| acovrig | Random832, I see that when I boot, just after grub&if I press any key, it takes me back to the grub | 05:01 |
| Random832 | you probably have a problem with /sbin/init, i'd guess | 05:01 |
| acovrig | Random832, so I'm in the livecd rescue mode (xubuntu live cd) | 05:01 |
| ihsw | hey, how do i set up my computer to use dual-monitors | 05:01 |
| ajmitch | Random832: looks to be more of a problem with the kernel in /boot | 05:02 |
| SkEmO | edbian dont know yet, im instaling xinit, i'll check when it finished | 05:02 |
| Random832 | ajmitch: i on't think a kernel problem can print that error | 05:02 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Good thing to have ;) | 05:02 |
| Random832 | maybe | 05:02 |
| Random832 | try booting a different kernel | 05:02 |
| ajmitch | Random832: it's grub printing the error, from what was pasted before, the kernel is 90 bytes? | 05:02 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Try the other tty's Ctrl + Alt + F7 or F(anything 1 - 7) | 05:03 |
| fillayy | I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP mini. I am trying to download skype though UBUNTU TWEEK and it keeps saying update fail. What is the problem? | 05:03 |
| Random832 | oh, i didn't see that - yeah, that's a problem | 05:03 |
| Random832 | acovrig: try booting a different kernel | 05:03 |
| Random832 | do you have another kernel? | 05:03 |
| ajmitch | acovrig: do you have any other kernels installed there, and what were you doing in /boot to get it like that? | 05:03 |
| SkEmO | ok sudo gdm, command not found | 05:03 |
| SkEmO | oh startx did it | 05:04 |
| SkEmO | :D | 05:04 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Well that means GDM (the gnome display manager) is missing. You definitely need that! | 05:04 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Awesome! | 05:04 |
| TheWeslry | Sorry to interrupt, but no other channels seem to be active.. I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 without any errors. It told me the installation completed fine, and to restart. I took my USB jump drive out that had the boot image on it, and restarted. The computer restarted, booted to the hard drive, but then went to a black screen with a CLI that said "Gave up waiting for root device," "ALERT! /dev/mapper/server-root does not exist. Dropping to a she | 05:04 |
| acovrig | nothing, I'm in it now `ls -la` and no, i don't have any other kernels | 05:04 |
| edbian | SkEmO, GDM shows the log in screen. I suggest installing that :) | 05:04 |
| fillayy | I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP mini. I am trying to download skype though UBUNTU TWEEK and it keeps saying update fail. What is the problem? | 05:04 |
| SkEmO | well its loading now i hope i dont get a prompt installation screen xD | 05:04 |
| amouge | hey guys, instead of downloading the iso for server, is it possible to install server edition off of my regular cd i have burnt already? | 05:04 |
| SkEmO | edbian ahh, ok, gonna do it | 05:04 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Awesome | 05:04 |
| SkEmO | lol i get a black screen with just a mouse pointer, nothing else xD | 05:05 |
| edbian | SkEmO, You have X but none of gnome | 05:05 |
| frobisher | amouge:apache | 05:05 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Very odd that the package manager seems to have just totally lied to you. | 05:05 |
| fillayy | Does Skype run on 10.04? | 05:05 |
| TheWeslry | yes | 05:05 |
| SkEmO | ok, reboot and then install GDM | 05:05 |
| edbian | SkEmO, ctrl + c ? just a guess | 05:05 |
| amouge | frobisher? | 05:05 |
| acovrig | Random832, `grub; find /grub/stage1` = 'Error 15: File not found' why? | 05:05 |
| xangua | fillayy: yes | 05:06 |
| edbian | SkEmO, yeah, just reboot | 05:06 |
| SkEmO | hm alt+f2 works :S | 05:06 |
| fillayy | xangua: do you know why it will not work for me? | 05:06 |
| Random832 | acovrig: you need to be in a chroot | 05:06 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Are you familiar with the tty's? | 05:06 |
| Random832 | which means you need to mount everything - for a 'rescue' livecd, it sure doesn't make things easy | 05:06 |
| xangua | fillayy: you can install it from the partner repository | 05:06 |
| xangua | no | 05:06 |
| SkEmO | not really | 05:06 |
| fillayy | how do i find the partner repository | 05:06 |
| SkEmO | this is the first time i get ubuntu | 05:06 |
| torres09 | hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help | 05:06 |
| SkEmO | well gnome | 05:06 |
| Random832 | you might just be able to copy in a good copy of the same kernel image | 05:06 |
| Random832 | and reboot | 05:07 |
| Random832 | you don't have any other kernels in /boot though? | 05:07 |
| SkEmO | ok installing gdp | 05:07 |
| acovrig | Random832, I think I did /dev/hda1 as / and then /dev/hda3 is an expansion partition and /dev/hda5 is swap | 05:07 |
| amouge | is there a command that i can throw at install to use my standard dvd to install server instead of full ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| SkEmO | hmm cant find it | 05:07 |
| xangua | fillayy: system>administration>software origins | 05:07 |
| edbian | SkEmO, There are 7 of them. They're virtual terminals. You can press alt + F(some number) to get to them. tty7 is where the GUI is usually loaded. If you are in the GUI and you want to switch you need to ctrl + alt + F1 (or some number) | 05:07 |
| edbian | SkEmO, You can log into each one (all at the same time if you want) and do 7 things at once :) | 05:07 |
| Random832 | acovrig: you also have to do /dev and /proc and /sys - it's annoying... and it doesn't solve your problem | 05:07 |
| SkEmO | oic, im on tty1 | 05:07 |
| Random832 | if you can get a good kernel image in there, you don't actually need to run grub | 05:07 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Yep | 05:07 |
| fillayy | i dont have a software origins selection | 05:08 |
| frobisher | amouge,you can install apache server from the repositories. | 05:08 |
| acovrig | Random832, other kernels are where? /boot? | 05:08 |
| Random832 | yeah | 05:08 |
| amouge | frobisher: I understand that, but i dont wanna install any of the X stuff, I want it to boot to terminal | 05:08 |
| torres09 | hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help | 05:08 |
| SkEmO | ok installing GDM now | 05:08 |
| xangua | fillayy: software sources maybe¿¿ | 05:08 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Good luck | 05:08 |
| edbian | SkEmO, Did it come up with 100 gnome-dependencies? | 05:08 |
| frobisher | amouge,OH. | 05:08 |
| bsmith093 | can someone look at my fstab and tell me if this will let any user (not just root) mount this webdav | 05:08 |
| fillayy | What do I do from there? I am a newbie to this. | 05:09 |
| edbian | SkEmO, If not you'll probably want to get "ubuntu-desktop" | 05:09 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Show me | 05:09 |
| SkEmO | edbian thats what im thinking | 05:09 |
| bsmith093 | file transfer? | 05:09 |
| acovrig | Random832, `ls /boot`='System.map-2.6.26-2-486; config-2.6.26-2-486; grub; initrd.img-2.6.26-2-486; vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486' | 05:09 |
| SkEmO | cuz, something got messed up here | 05:09 |

| torres09 | hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help...newbie to ubuntu | 05:09 |
| xangua | fillayy: go to 'other software' tab and enable the partner repository | 05:10 |
| edbian | torres09, I don't know if I can help you because you're being vague. Did you get any errors? Why does the session fail? | 05:10 |
| torres09 | ithe keyboard and mouse becine unrespionsive | 05:10 |
| torres09 | every time i log into gnome | 05:11 |
| fillayy | xangua: how do I enable the partner repository? | 05:11 |
| MmK | Hi | 05:11 |
| SkEmO | omg this is setting up all the packages | 05:12 |
| acovrig | Random832, now what? exit livecd shell&reboot? | 05:12 |
| MmK | Today I sudo aptitude full-upgrade'd to lucid lynx from karmic koala and X does not now recognize my keyboard | 05:12 |
| crypt-0 | my sound icon dissapeard during a dist upgrade to 10.04 | 05:12 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Neat file send :) you put the word "user" not "ben" that's confusing isn't it? | 05:12 |
| MmK | Also, no display manager starts | 05:12 |
| bsmith093 | but i have a user called ben | 05:12 |
| Random832 | acovrig: wait, no... not /boot on the livecd, you need to look at you real boot partition | 05:12 |
| MmK | The mouse still works, and the keyboard works from the tty | 05:12 |
| bsmith093 | so should i put user | 05:12 |
| acovrig | Random832, I booted into the rescue & mounted /dev/hda1 to / and got dropped into a shell | 05:13 |
| bsmith093 | is that space for the name of a group or a user | 05:13 |
| fillayy | xangua: how do I enable the partner repository? | 05:13 |
| SkEmO | damn it! black screen again | 05:13 |
| xangua | crypt-0: add the indicator applet to the panel | 05:13 |
| acovrig | so /boot is /boot on /dev/hda1 where my rootfs is (hda0,0) | 05:13 |
| xangua | fillayy: just mark the square omg | 05:14 |
| crypt-0 | thanks xangua | 05:14 |

| onetinsoldier | acovrig: you can also use the 'du' command, but you might want to look at the man page for it first | 05:19 |

| Nall_TWK | *yawn*. OK a coupled of hours ago I asked a question about anthy thatRandom832 tried to answer but I ended up falling asleep(passing out more like it :P) so I'm gonna lay out the details. So here goes | 05:19 |
| acovrig | Random832, `ls /boot`='System.map-2.6.26-2-486; config-2.6.26-2-486; grub; initrd.img-2.6.26-2-486; vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486' | 05:19 |
| Random832 | acovrig: i thought you said that was on the livecd | 05:19 |
| Random832 | you need to look at the one in the hard disk you mounted | 05:19 |
| acovrig | Random832, given `df -h`='/dev/hda1 2.2G 1020M 1.1G 48% /; tmpfs 2.2G 1020M 1.1G 48% /lib/init/rw; udev 28M 128K 28M 1% /dev; and so on' | 05:21 |
| torres09 | guys just installed lucid...keyboard and mouse fails after about 10s on logging into gnome ... | 05:23 |
| Nall_TWK | I have a toshiba netbook, ubuntu lucid installed, using Ibus Anthy with direct kana input. Everything works perfectly, but the ` key does not produce the $B$m(B (ro) character. I've tried it with an external usb keyboard also. I've tried different keyboard layouts in the settings. Google search hasn't helped much. So I thought I'd ask here. Anyone have any ideas? | 05:23 |
| ocatacoo | what do you call the part of alacarte that shows the properties | 05:23 |
| RalphSpencer | Hi | 05:23 |
| CaptainTrek | where can I find my SSH keys, and how can I generate my public key? | 05:25 |
| Nall_TWK | torres09. is the caps lock light flashing on and off? If it is, that means there's a kernel panic which might be a hardware issue. If not, I'll have to leave it up to the others in the channel to help >.> | 05:25 |
| torres09 | nope no flasing | 05:26 |
| Nall_TWK | odd | 05:26 |
| ocatacoo | what do you call the part of alacarte that shows the properties | 05:27 |
| marik | CaptainTrek, ~/.ssh/ | 05:27 |
| CaptainTrek | marik: and to generate it? | 05:28 |
| CaptainTrek | marik: it doesnt exist, i need id_rsa.pub | 05:28 |
| CaptainTrek | xD | 05:28 |
| ocatacoo | man ssh | 05:28 |
| Random832 | acovrig: huh? | 05:28 |
| marik | CaptainTrek, man ssh-keygen | 05:28 |
| Random832 | i just asked you to make sure when you did the ls it was in the /boot _of the hard drive_, not _of the livecd_ | 05:28 |
| acovrig | it i | 05:29 |
| acovrig | is | 05:29 |
| CaptainTrek | marik: got it thanks | 05:29 |
| Random832 | since ubuntu doesn't have -486 in the kernels in the hard drive by default, it's -generic | 05:29 |
| Random832 | what is the exact ls command you are typing | 05:29 |
| Random832 | and where is your hard drive mounted? | 05:29 |
| acovrig | for what | 05:29 |
| acovrig | mounted as | 05:29 |
| Random832 | for when you pasted the ls of what kernels and the -2-486 or whatever | 05:29 |
| acovrig | mounted as / | 05:29 |
| Random832 | no, you're in the livecd - the hard drive is not / | 05:30 |
| Random832 | aren't you even paying attention to what you're doing? did you mount the hard drive at all? | 05:30 |
| acovrig | Random832, yes, I told it to use mount /dev/sda1 as / | 05:31 |
| Random832 | huh? you can't just mount something over / | 05:31 |
| Random832 | you're _still in the livecd_ | 05:31 |
| Random832 | / is _the livecd_ | 05:31 |
| onetinsoldier | acovrig: you want to mount it in /media ...not / | 05:31 |
| acovrig | when I booted the livecd i picked rescue mode and it asked me what I wanted to use as by rootfs for the livecd shell (I am booting the livecd to get a shell) | 05:32 |
| Random832 | acovrig: cat /proc/mounts | 05:33 |
| RalphSpencer | I need to connect to the internet with a mobile phone which is to be paired via bluetooth. When I connect it using the Network Manager, it shows that it is connected, so does the device (mobile phone) but still when i try to ping or open firefox , unknown host or server not found. Could osmeone help? | 05:33 |

| maco | fillayy: right you need to say "sudo dpkg -i skype*.deb" in whatever directory holds your skype deb | 07:10 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, No matches. I sure wish I could just give shortcut priority to the active window. I use a lot of app specific shortcuts, and try to map most of the os shortcuts that I actually use to the super-key. | 07:10 |
| codebrainz | Andy-at-home, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/unzip | 07:10 |
| hiexpo | i don't blame you | 07:11 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: Well that was my only idea :) | 07:11 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, thanks anyway. what else did I install with sexy python? | 07:11 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: No idea, but you need it for that keyboard icon feature | 07:11 |
| Andy-at-home | perfect, thanks | 07:11 |
| eveningsky_ | hah :) | 07:12 |
| onetinsoldier | eveningsky_: did you install python-sexy? if so, it probably just installed libsexy2 along with it | 07:13 |
| hiexpo | eveningsky_, if you use synaptic to install packages it will always show you what is gonna be installed and removed that is the best way if u have doubts in something and u can back out that way before | 07:13 |
| cinnabarisland12 | anyone know how I can get ubuntu to play encrypted dvd's | 07:13 |
| spvensko | i accidently deleted mail and the volume control from the top panel, how can i add these back? | 07:13 |
| dr4c4n | cinnabarisland12: medibuntu documentation | 07:14 |
| hiexpo | cinnabarisland12, u need libdvdcss | 07:14 |
| codebrainz | spvensko, right click panel, add to panel | 07:14 |
| eveningsky_ | hiexpo, onetinsoldier. I meant, what other features, not libraries. The description in synaptics was quite vague.. | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: do you have libdvdread4 installed? | 07:14 |
| cinnabarisland12 | yeah I've tried those but totem still says I need a plugin called 'DVD Source' | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | eveningsky_: oh, roger. i don't know really | 07:14 |
| spvensko | codebrainz, i tried that, but add what? i don't see mail or volume in the options | 07:15 |
| codebrainz | spvensko, is it the notification area or something, i forget what it's called in gnome | 07:15 |
| hiexpo | add mediaubuntu repos | 07:15 |
| eveningsky_ | hiexpo, onetinsoldier. I would NEVER have guessed from the description that I could get a keyboard shortcut filter in compiz search by installing it, so I'm wondering what other wonders lie hidden inside. | 07:15 |
| spvensko | yeah, but i already have one of those | 07:15 |
| onetinsoldier | eveningsky_: i was look at the docs. you can see what a package installed in either synaptic or on command line to see where it's docs are to read them. usually in /usr/share/doc/<package_name> | 07:16 |
| spvensko | i have dropbox, my ethernet, and battery icon showing | 07:16 |
| spvensko | just now volume and mail | 07:16 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: hehe | 07:16 |
| onetinsoldier | eveningsky_: i always* look at the docs | 07:16 |
| hiexpo | live and learn | 07:16 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: do you have libdvdread4 installed? | 07:17 |
| bricky | say if I install the fglrx drivers and X works which I did before but compiz doesnt | 07:17 |
| bricky | is there a way to recompile compiz to work with those drivers | 07:17 |
| codebrainz | spvensko, sorry, i don't know what the applets are called, i don't have gnome available atm | 07:18 |
| soreau | bricky: If you install fglrx with that card on anything later than 9.04, you will not have 3D | 07:18 |
| rookie | where i can find information how to set up an host with ubuntu server? | 07:18 |
| spvensko | codebrainz, no worries, ty for helping though :) | 07:18 |
| bricky | soreau: oh ok | 07:18 |
| soreau | bricky: Its not a matter of rebuilding compiz. fglrx simply does not support your card at all anymore | 07:18 |
| fillayy | Could anyone help me set up my Sprint Mobile Broadband with a built in sim card? | 07:18 |
| sebastian | hey, how can i check my available hd space on this partition? i am on ubuntu with lxde dual boot with winsows 7 | 07:19 |
| bricky | soreau: but it says it does I suppose thats why i'm abit confused | 07:19 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, onetinsoldier, "No doc available yet, but the function name should be pretty self-explanative." ????? | 07:19 |
| codebrainz | sebastian, df -h | 07:19 |
| bricky | soreau: thanks for clearing that up | 07:19 |
| bricky | so I cant aticonfig, or ati catalyst ;p | 07:19 |
| soreau | bricky: As I said before, you can ask about specifics in #radeon since that is the official open radeon driver channel (and the only one that supports your card directly) | 07:20 |
| bricky | okay, sorry | 07:20 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok guys I followed the helpful tips you gave me but movie player still says 'Could not read from source' | 07:20 |
| bricky | im not allowed to talk there, but ill drop the subject | 07:20 |
| fillayy | Could anyone help me set up my Sprint Mobile Broadband with a built in sim card? | 07:20 |
| soreau | bricky: aticonfig, ati catalyst, proprietary driver, fglrx are ALL the same thing | 07:20 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: do you have libdvdread4 installed? | 07:20 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: do you have libdvdread4 installed? | 07:20 |
| hiexpo | fillayy, one sec i am lookingit up | 07:21 |
| fillayy | okay thanks | 07:21 |
| soreau | bricky: With the open driver you use things like driconf | 07:21 |
| fillayy | how do i private message? | 07:21 |
| sebastian | /dev/sda5 21G 3.3G 17G 17% / ok what i need to do is to shrink the current ubuntu partition to say 7 gib and add that to the windows partition how can i do that+ | 07:21 |
| hiexpo | !pm | 07:21 |

| cinnabarisland12 | yep libdvdread4 is installed | 07:21 |
| soreau | bricky: You need to register your nick to talk in the driver support channel | 07:21 |

| bricky | soreau: one more thing not about drivers, Im trying to do VM ware, | 07:22 |
| soreau | bricky: But driconf offers a way to change 3D options unrelated to clocking | 07:22 |
| rookie | where i can find information how to set up an host with ubuntu server? | 07:22 |
| bricky | soreau: ahh! | 07:22 |
| codebrainz | sebastian, gparted | 07:22 |
| soreau | bricky: You need to ask in #radeon how to do the clocking stuff or if it is supported for your card | 07:23 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok I installed libdvdcss2 but it still says could not read from resource | 07:23 |
| bricky | soreau: thanks man I iwll register | 07:23 |
| bricky | helped me quite a bit on that issue | 07:23 |
| godricbrutus | can anyone help with my issue? | 07:23 |
| hiexpo | cinnabarisland12, did you install ubuntu restricted extras | 07:24 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: really? hmmm, not sure what's wrong. you might need to restart something. restart your movie player | 07:24 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: or perhaps what hiexpo said | 07:24 |
| cinnabarisland12 | onetinsoldier, have done (quit then went into it again) | 07:24 |
| cinnabarisland12 | aaand I have them restricted extras installed | 07:24 |
| codebrainz | cinnabarisland12, doesn't vlc play dvd's out of the box? | 07:25 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: i don't know then. works for me every time i've install ubuntu linux | 07:25 |
| cinnabarisland12 | hmmm i'll give vlc a shot | 07:25 |
| hiexpo | ya i use vlc also | 07:25 |
| rocket16 | cinnabarisland12: Take my word, only Gxine is able to DVDs nicely. Install it, and select DVD Option. Vlc is said to work, but really, it does not work in 50% cases. | 07:25 |
| inzi1985 | hello everyone | 07:25 |
| godricbrutus | i can't set my mouse speed. it doesn't change when i change the settings | 07:25 |
| godricbrutus | can anyone help with my issue? | 07:25 |
| rocket16 | Hi inzi1985, welcome to Ubuntu IRC | 07:25 |
| inzi1985 | does anyone here own a compaq 610 laptop | 07:26 |
| inzi1985 | anyone running ubuntu 10.04 on a compaq 610 | 07:26 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, are you on a notebook or have multiple input devices? | 07:26 |
| inzi1985 | rocket16 : hey | 07:26 |
| Shvonder | !ati | 07:26 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:26 |
| rocket16 | inzi1985: :) | 07:26 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, im on a custom desktop | 07:26 |
| cinnabarisland12 | once I've installed gxine where would I find it? | 07:27 |
| cinnabarisland12 | because I installed it before and couldn't see it | 07:27 |
| sebastian | can one play mov files on ubuntu? will vlc open them? | 07:27 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: Application --> Sound and Video | 07:27 |
| inzi1985 | rockey16 have u had any heat issues with ubuntu 10.04 | 07:27 |
| cinnabarisland12 | odd it's not there | 07:27 |
| hiexpo | sebastian, yeds | 07:27 |
| hiexpo | yes | 07:27 |
| inzi1985 | r u running it on a laptop or desktop | 07:27 |
| hiexpo | sudo apt-get install moo | 07:28 |
| rocket16 | cinnabarisland12: No automatic launcher is created for gxine, generally. It might be shown on Sound and Video of Applications, or else, press alt+f2 and enter gxine | 07:28 |
| inzi1985 | anyone haveing overheating issues with ubuntu 10.04 | 07:28 |
| onetinsoldier | sebastian: yes. i have some old ones from, like the year 2001, that i had to use winff/ffmpeg to play though. wouldn't play in vlc | 07:28 |
| sebastian | winff? onetinsoldier why does it matter how old htey are? | 07:29 |
| dzup | when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? | 07:29 |
| rocket16 | inzi1985: I did not have. Do you have Laptop or desktop? | 07:29 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, onetinsoldier, Basically it looks like python-sexy gives python bindings to libsexy, which makes 4 features available to gtk dialogs. So, I guess, Compiz is just written with some features that take advantage of libsexy if it's | 07:29 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok I did alt+f2 but it just closes the window when I click run | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | sebastian: old codecs | 07:29 |
| eveningsky_ | there or ignore it otherwise. | 07:29 |
| sebastian | but new vlc from ubuntu will play current mov files right? | 07:29 |
| inzi1985 | @rocket16 : i have a laptop compaq 610 | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | eveningsky_: ahh, roger that | 07:29 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, i was just thinking maybe you're setting stuff on the wrong device | 07:29 |
| dzup | when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete? | 07:29 |
| rocket16 | cinnabarisland12: Doesn't gxine start? The window will be closed, and gxine will start. | 07:29 |
| inzi1985 | @sebastian vlc, doesnt support mov and rmvb i think | 07:30 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, i see | 07:30 |
| cinnabarisland12 | rocket16: nope it doesn't start | 07:30 |
| inzi1985 | @sebastian u should try mplayer instead | 07:30 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: Does that solve any of your problem? | 07:30 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, did you try re-plugging in the mouse/rebooting after the changes? | 07:30 |
| sebastian | back to my original question, how do i play mov in ubuntu? | 07:30 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, yes | 07:30 |
| rocket16 | sebastian: Gstreamer supports them with plugins, but sound crashes many times. | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | sebastian: use winff / ffmpeg | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | !info winff | 07:30 |
| ubottu | winff (source: winff): graphical video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.2.0-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 1416 kB, installed size 4496 kB | 07:30 |
| soreau | sebastian: Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:30 |
| uros | can anyone help me with privoxy and tor settings? I have them both installed, and I can connect to tor, but cant get them to work togather | 07:30 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, what type of mouse, ps/2, usb, bt, etc? | 07:31 |
| cinnabarisland12 | hmmm maybe I need to restart | 07:31 |
| uros | so cant access internet throught them | 07:31 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: maybe. but i didn't think you'd need to | 07:31 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, usb microsoft arc mouse | 07:31 |
| sebastian | how about m4v will vlc play those? | 07:31 |
| inzi1985 | sebastian : the ubuntu restricted extras should have all the plugins, have u tried playing them with mplayer | 07:31 |
| cinnabarisland12 | would the totem-xine backend help? | 07:31 |
| hiexpo | i found the fix for f-spot not opening the problem is the theme if it is not a original ubuntu ///anything custom it will not open so in order to use f-sdpot jus revert back to a simple ubuntu thme | 07:32 |
| eveningsky_ | Still doesn't fix my shortcut problem :( | 07:32 |
| hiexpo | i know my typing bytes | 07:32 |
| onetinsoldier | hiexpo: well that kind of... sucks | 07:32 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 | 07:32 |
| eveningsky_ | but I got my printer working yesterday !!!! :D | 07:32 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: does alt+r/l work without compiz enabled? | 07:33 |
| fillayy | i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out | 07:33 |
| hiexpo | yes it does | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | hiexpo: sounds like a bug | 07:33 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok thats odd- the list of known applications in alt+f2 doesn't list gxine | 07:33 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, yes, im the last post there | 07:33 |
| hiexpo | it is a bug and they will not fix it but i am gonna start working on it | 07:33 |
| godricbrutus | there is no 'fix' there | 07:33 |
| fillayy | i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | hiexpo: roger. my hats off to you. good luck | 07:33 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, heh. good luck then :) | 07:33 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, they just talk about a 'workaround' for scrolling speed | 07:34 |
| fillayy | Error moving file: Permission denied | 07:34 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, interesting. yes, not only that, but it it works after re-enabling compiz too. | 07:34 |
| codebrainz | godricbrutus, sorry, i've just gotten used to people not googling in the channel, i just spat out the first hit :) | 07:34 |
| dzup | when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? | 07:35 |
| soreau | eveningsky_: cool :) | 07:35 |
| cinnabarisland12 | hey guys, do you think that the xine backend for totem will work? | 07:35 |
| godricbrutus | codebrainz, understandable | 07:35 |
| hiexpo | it is a bug and they will not fix it but i am gonna start working on it? | 07:35 |
| sebastian | i got an ipod shuffle, but i couldnt just copy and paste files onto it from windows, is there something like itunes for ubuntu? | 07:35 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | yes | 07:36 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | its plug and play u will see it | 07:36 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: i'm going to guess that you'd need to set gxine os a default application in.. System --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications | 07:36 |
| asjfhahf | Good day all , ow to covert a photo to white and black ? | 07:36 |
| fillayy | i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out | 07:36 |

| hiexpo | anyone heard anything on getdeb repos for karmic being back up | 07:37 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok Ubuntu software centre says gxine is installed | 07:37 |
| cinnabarisland12 | however main OS and everything else says it isn't | 07:37 |
| inzi1985 | @cinnabarisland12 : what r u trying to actually do? | 07:37 |
| cinnabarisland12 | play an encrypted dvd | 07:37 |
| dzup | when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? onetinsoldier 'cuz any of the new ubuntu works on my dual 1.86 centrino w/ athros wifi card, but only intrepid, new versions sucks here. | 07:38 |
| hiexpo | type in terminal gxine | 07:38 |
| eveningsky_ | soreau, I guess I need to write some kind of script to kill and restart compiz on startup. I did that for several weeks as the only way to get jack to work with the pulse-jack script. but after a couple rounds of updates that started working right. | 07:38 |
| fillayy | me? | 07:38 |
| onetinsoldier | dzup: read the channel's motd --> Intrepid Ibex (8.10) is EOL on April 30th ...so Intrepid supported ended on April 30th | 07:38 |
| jussi | asjfhahf: colors -> desaturate | 07:39 |

| dzup | codebrainz: yes. | 07:40 |

| hiexpo | i have 9.10 and installed just to see and it works fine | 07:41 |
| cinnabarisland12 | ok firefox is installed I'll go find xulrunner | 07:41 |
| onetinsoldier | cinnabarisland12: ok, roger.. the package name is exactly.. xulrunner-1.9.2 | 07:41 |

| cinnabarisland12 | Package xine is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 07:43 |

| Sam_Fisher | mimor: use diskmanager | 07:46 |
| onetinsoldier | grrr! | 07:46 |
| lapion | mimor you need a special tool to do such things.. | 07:46 |
| arand | onetinsoldier: Report a bug. | 07:46 |
| fillayy | how do i make myself "superuser" | 07:46 |
| onetinsoldier | arand: i hear ya | 07:46 |
| arand | !sudo | fillayy | 07:47 |
| ubottu | fillayy: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 07:47 |
| Sam_Fisher | fillayy: with a cape! | 07:47 |

| lapion | the stick has been configured on a lowl-software-level | 07:48 |
| Shvonder | people. The kernel config file I need. Where is it in ubuntu? If I have to generate it with menuconfig command where should I run this command (in which folder)? | 07:48 |
| hiexpo | mine neither now lol b ut vlc still does | 07:48 |
| godricbrutus | i can't set my mouse speed. it doesn't change when i change the settings | 07:48 |
| godricbrutus | can anyone help with my issue? | 07:48 |
| Sam_Fisher | blekos: Guess what? Diskmanager will tell you the health of that drive in color! | 07:48 |
| fillayy | how would i use sudo to move a file to a directory? | 07:48 |
| sjm | blekos: figure out which disk it is, first. (sfdisk -l will help) | 07:48 |
| Sam_Fisher | sjm: Good point! | 07:49 |
| hiexpo | mv {file} {dir | 07:49 |
| onetinsoldier | after todays security updates.. gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory :-( | 07:49 |
| fillayy | hiexpo is that the full command? | 07:49 |
| hiexpo | no | 07:50 |
| fillayy | could i have it, i dont wanna mess this up lol | 07:50 |
| sjm | onetinsoldier: what packages updated? | 07:50 |
| eveningsky_ | asjfhahf, here is one pretty straight forward way in Gimp: Colors->Desaturate->(best looking of 3 choices)->OK | 07:50 |
| onetinsoldier | sjm: kernel was one of 'em | 07:50 |
| sjm | onetinsoldier: then try a reboot first thing. | 07:50 |
| M2player | I have 16GB USB key. When I create USB stick with new Ubuntu, it will deteled the data in that USB? | 07:51 |
| onetinsoldier | sjm: i did that immediately after updating ;-) | 07:51 |
| mimor | lapion: do you know any tools? | 07:51 |
| mimor | gparted doesn't see the thumbdrive | 07:51 |
| lapion | it's a tool from the manufacturer.. | 07:51 |
| eveningsky_ | M2player, what do you mean by "create"? | 07:52 |
| lapion | mimor, most manufacturers do not freely give this tool away | 07:52 |
| CaptainTrek | got an interesting issue. Connecting to my VPS, and its not accepting my public key. server / client side logs are here: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/CD2ziaeX the VPS admin who helped set it up says it might be some issue with seahorse-daemon or gnome-keyring. any help is appreciated. Using: Ubuntu 10.04 | 07:52 |

| hiexpo | M2player, same download just put it on usb | 07:53 |
| M2player | thanx to all :) | 07:53 |
| onetinsoldier | my god! reportbug doesn't even work! you have to jump through a hoop to use it! | 07:54 |
| eveningsky_ | M2player, to install a "LiveCD" onto a flash drive will need to wipe the partition. You can try to partition the drive with GParted leaving enough space in the first partition for Ubuntu, but... | 07:55 |
| jgcampbell300 | I have a question I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask. I am building a media ubuntu box and am looking for software. I have a 72" tv hooked up and a 20" flat screen with touch screen I am looking for some soft ware that will let me use my touch screen like a jukebox for my music (maybe video to) ... any ideas ? | 07:56 |
| onetinsoldier | at this moment.. this is becoming pathetic | 07:56 |
| eveningsky_ | M2player, I have found that running GParted on a drive tends to trigger a lot of bugs in USB Creator. | 07:56 |
| onetinsoldier | reportbug doesn't even work, you have to jump through a hoop to use it! | 07:56 |
| uros | QUESTION: I have tor, privoxy, vidalia and torbutton installed. I can connect to tor network, but when I click torbutton I get a warning: "the most recent Tor proxy test failed to use Tor." If i test the setting it says that the local HTTP proxy is unavailable. and than it asks me if polipo is working correctly. | 07:56 |

| uros | any idea on how to get this working | 07:57 |
| h32Lg | its not possible to download the new generic header from ubuntu | 07:57 |
| M2player | Thank you eveningsky_ . I will try it | 07:57 |
| sjm | cinnabarisland12: it now works? | 07:57 |
| cinnabarisland12 | yep | 07:57 |
| cinnabarisland12 | I don't know how or why but it now works AND gxine iis installed | 07:57 |
| [joe]_ | first install of ubuntu and i got irc to work :D | 07:57 |
| eveningsky_ | M2player, You may want to copy the files to the local drive and wait till after you have the livecd installed on the flash drive before you partition anything. | 07:58 |
| TyanColte | anybody know how to do a "run as root" on lucid like you can do a "run as administrator" in windows? | 07:59 |
| bricky | hmmm | 07:59 |
| jussi | TyanColte: for which app? | 07:59 |
| TyanColte | i know you can use gksudo in the run command but it makes it hard to if you don't know the exact name of the program | 07:59 |
| TyanColte | the Disk Utility | 07:59 |
| jgcampbell300 | sudo gparted ? | 07:59 |
| jussi | TyanColte: does it not run as root in anycase? | 07:59 |
| naynay1 | hey, does anyone know a short bash command to take two files output and output.old, and only return the lines that are in output but not output.old, without sorting? | 07:59 |
| TyanColte | not gparted | 07:59 |
| TyanColte | nope | 08:00 |

| lapion | pwnguin, sometimes initramfs is not rebuild | 08:01 |
| pwnguin | lapion: that sounds painful | 08:01 |
| === juju2143 is now known as [J] | ||
| eveningsky_ | tyanColte, "palimpsest". you can see the properties of the gnome menu shortcuts by right clicking on the gnomoe menu icon and choosing edit menus | 08:02 |
| pwnguin | lapion: but initrd.img-2.6.32-22 looks to be present | 08:02 |
| TyanColte | why doesn't ubuntu make it easy to run any program as root, such as Nautilus without having to know the actual program name | 08:02 |
| touchzou | jpds: xmbc? | 08:03 |
| TyanColte | right clicking and hitting "run as root" like you used to be able to do | 08:03 |
| TyanColte | would be perfect | 08:03 |
| pwnguin | why would you run nautilus as root? | 08:03 |
| TyanColte | to copy files to the root folder or other folders with permissions not mine | 08:03 |
| eveningsky_ | pwnguin, so you can copy move system files around without typing them all. | 08:04 |
| TyanColte | exactly | 08:04 |
| arand | onetinsoldier: ubuntu-bug packagename, reportbug is for reporting in debian.. | 08:04 |
| pwnguin | i guess that's what * is for, but point taken | 08:04 |
| TyanColte | pwnguin: *? | 08:04 |
| touchzou | anybody knows how to copy a directory and keep the permission of the files? | 08:04 |
| gaelos | any way to choose my ip when using a vpn client ? | 08:04 |
| eveningsky_ | tyanColte, I have a open folder in root option in my nautilus context menu, I forget how I install it. | 08:04 |
| jozefk | TyanColte, that is easly done with sudo in terminal that's why I guess | 08:04 |
| TyanColte | not if you don't know all the commands | 08:05 |
| jozefk | yeah that's true as well | 08:05 |
| pwnguin | touchzou: cp -a will work | 08:05 |
| jozefk | gaelos, tar it up | 08:05 |
| pwnguin | well, cp -ar | 08:05 |
| jozefk | oops sorry :)) it was for touchzou | 08:05 |
| jozefk | :))) | 08:05 |
| touchzou | pwnguin: Thanks | 08:06 |
| TyanColte | i mean i know most of the commands i'm not new to ubuntu in the least, it's just easier to use GUI then command line | 08:06 |
| eveningsky_ | TyanColte, you don't have to know the full name of what you are typing. some-file-version-1.5.4.3.890987.1.200 could probably be called by typing some-file* | 08:06 |
| gaelos | when i configure my vpn connection on ubuntu 10.04 i can't choose my ip adress i will use | 08:06 |
| jozefk | TyanColte, what about: sudo mc ? | 08:06 |
| eveningsky_ | tyanColte, unless you have a file in the same directory named some-file-version-1.5.4.3.890987.1.201 | 08:06 |
| TyanColte | wildcards only work when the command isn't pre-empted by another command | 08:06 |
| pwnguin | TyanColte: on a scale from 1 to 100, how secure do you think nautilus is? | 08:06 |
| pwnguin | eveningsky_: then you use tab completion, or a smarter regex :P | 08:07 |
| TyanColte | pwnguin: idk about a 50-75? | 08:07 |
| pwnguin | TyanColte: the general argument i hear about running GUI apps as root is they're insecure | 08:07 |
| kirean | Hi | 08:08 |
| kirean | I have a computer with Intel Q45/Q43 and screen resolution 1600x1200 is unavailable | 08:08 |
| TyanColte | pwnguin: yea but the general consenus is that any linux OS is way more secure in the first place than any other OS | 08:08 |
| lapion | pwnguin, initrd has to be rebuild to be reconfigured | 08:09 |
| kirean | I'm trying xrand --newmode ... | 08:09 |
| pwnguin | lapion: any idea how to trigger that again just in case? | 08:09 |

| kirean | but get X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) | 08:09 |

| rookie | yes | 08:12 |
| _L30_ | tell me how to change the working kernel lapion | 08:12 |
| eveningsky_ | pwnguin, just elevates when you start it. I think it even forgets the password after too much inactivity, like the terminal does with sudo. | 08:13 |
| Flannel | rookie: Did you copy it to sites-available then? or why do you have two different files in those folders? | 08:13 |
| onetinsoldier | arand: yep.. reading it all now.. the whole page. thanks :) | 08:13 |
| pwnguin | well, its a lot harder to get arbitrary data into them | 08:13 |
| basncy | Is there any channels about C programing? UNIX Networking programing channels would be better for me. | 08:13 |
| lapion | _L30_, to get the grub-menu, at startup keep shift-key pressed | 08:14 |
| rookie | one is a folder and that other is a file | 08:14 |

| _L30_ | ok | 08:14 |
| onetinsoldier | arand: i ended up on the page by running 'ubuntu-bug' and starting the bug report | 08:14 |
| Flannel | rookie: Let me start over: Does /etc/apache2/sites-available/ciriguao exist? does /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ciriguao exist? | 08:14 |
| * pwnguin reboots | 08:14 | |
| rookie | yes | 08:14 |

| _L30_ | lapion: fresh installation | 08:19 |
| Visseroth | Linux noob here, would like to get my other 3 monitors working like monitors and not like other desktops. If that is understandable | 08:19 |
| rookie | yes | 08:19 |
| Flannel | rookie: Alright, so how did you create /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ciriguao? | 08:19 |
| rookie | sites-available>>> that is a folder and ciriguao is a file | 08:19 |
| _L30_ | that was what you meant right lapion ? | 08:19 |
| Visseroth | I'll wait for you guys to finish :-P | 08:19 |
| lapion | boot from dvd-rom slect rescue system.. | 08:20 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, how many monitors do you want to connect? | 08:20 |

| eveningsky_ | TyanColte. nautilus-gksu . I think you will have reboot or restart your x-server before it works. | 08:20 |
| touchzou | How to upgrade the kernel in command line? | 08:20 |
| Flannel | rookie: sites-available is different than sites-enabled. How did you get ciriguao to sites-enabled? | 08:21 |
| touchzou | sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't upgrade something | 08:21 |
| touchzou | such as the kernel | 08:21 |
| Flannel | touchzou: dist-upgrade | 08:21 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, have 4 total, trying to get them to work like they would in Windowz but currently it seems they only work semi correctly if I don't use Xinerama, if I use Xinerama and try to move my mouse to another screen the mouse gets all crazy on me | 08:21 |
| TyanColte | eveningsky_: nautilus-gksu that's it? to make the buttons back on the right corner of the window? | 08:21 |
| _L30_ | yes touchzou even i feel that | 08:21 |
| Flannel | touchzou: (apt-get dist-upgrade) | 08:21 |
| pwnguin | rookie: you put the file in sites-available, and a2ensite to turn it on (it copies it to sites-enabled) | 08:21 |
| touchzou | Flannel: thanks | 08:21 |
| eveningsky_ | TyanColte, no to get root access through nautilus. | 08:21 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, how many gfx cards/outputs per card? | 08:21 |
| lapion | touchzou, apt-get full-upgrade | 08:21 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, 2 | 08:21 |
| rookie | ok so i need to move it ? | 08:22 |
| TyanColte | i just use gksudo nautilus for that one | 08:22 |
| _L30_ | lapion: since I am again going to have a customised kernel tell me how to do that/ | 08:22 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, are you using compiz? | 08:22 |
| touchzou | lapion: ? | 08:22 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, 2 per card, 2 cards | 08:22 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, compiz? | 08:22 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, fancy 3d desktop effects, not sure if it's default or not | 08:22 |
| touchzou | Flannel: dist-upgrade is to upgrade the version of ubuntu?such as 9.10 to 10.04? | 08:22 |
| pwnguin | rookie: do you have the file in sites-available? | 08:22 |
| Flannel | rookie: If it doesn't exist in sites-available, then yes. Move it from sites-enabled to sites-available. If it already exists in both places, just delete the one in sites-available | 08:22 |
| lapion | touchzou, do : (sudo apt-get full-upgrade) | 08:22 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, not enabled atm, would like to though | 08:22 |
| rookie | no just i have a folder | 08:23 |
| Flannel | touchzou: Nope | 08:23 |
| _L30_ | Flannel: can you help me with it | 08:23 |
| touchzou | Flannel: ? | 08:23 |
| rookie | ok | 08:23 |
| rookie | thks | 08:23 |
| touchzou | lapion: maybe they do the same thing> | 08:23 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, would like all the fancy eye candy, I have a 4Ghz machine with 6GB of ram and 6 more on the way, quad with HT | 08:23 |
| lapion | _L30_, boot the system with the installation disk, and select rescue system | 08:23 |
| * TyanColte restarts | 08:23 | |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i had an issue getting 3 monitors on 2 cards working, at least with any desktop effects, due to it not being able to span across GPUs | 08:23 |
| touchzou | lapion: "dist-upgrade "or "apt-get full-update" | 08:23 |
| _L30_ | ok done lapion got it worked out | 08:23 |

| _L30_ | but tell how to have a different kernel | 08:24 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, any luck getting it to work? | 08:24 |
| eveningsky_ | TyanColte, once it's installed and you restart x-server, you should find a context menu item in nautilus that says open as root | 08:24 |
| lapion | dist-upgrade is deprecated | 08:24 |
| _L30_ | any thing to update along with the kernel | 08:24 |
| arand | touchzou: In what way does it not upgrade the kernel? held back? doesn't connect to security.ubuntu.com? (that's a temporary problem) | 08:24 |
| touchzou | _L30_: yes, and I think so | 08:24 |
| rookie | ok | 08:24 |
| _L30_ | or any changes to make? | 08:24 |
| Flannel | touchzou: dist-upgrade gets you new versions of your packages, which means updated kernels and all that stuff. By doing that command you won't* upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 (* unless you do a few other things to make that command upgrade you from 9.10 to 10.04) | 08:24 |
| rookie | do u know how put my website online ? | 08:24 |
| touchzou | Flannel: yeah,get it | 08:24 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, it's been a while, but iirc i had desktop spanning on all 3 monitors, but with effects turned off. nvidia9600 gfx cards x2 | 08:24 |
| pwnguin | rookie: #ubuntu-server might be more useful for you | 08:25 |
| rookie | ok thks | 08:25 |
| pwnguin | and quieter | 08:25 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i'm pretty sure i just used the nvidia-settings program from the nvidia proprietary driver | 08:25 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, I found a post where some guy managed to get 6 working with all eye candy though hasn't put up the how to post as of yet | 08:25 |
| inconsiderable | Good day all , how to convert pdf to image ? | 08:25 |
| inconsiderable | or how to edit a schem in pdf ? | 08:26 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i think if you use one of those matrox boxes that take in many monitors and represent it to the gfx card as a single large monitor, it's possible | 08:26 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, got that installed, helped to get the other two turned on and I can use them but by no way the way I want to, it's like having a total of 4 desktops and not being able to move windows from one desktop to the other, it sucks | 08:26 |
| lapion | oops sorry I was thinking in aptitude full-upgrade | 08:26 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, yeah, been there, useless | 08:26 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, problem is those boxes reduce your over all resolution, but I have considered it, specially for gaming, would be pretty cool but don't want to loose my max res | 08:27 |
| bp0 | is the songbird ppa broken? | 08:28 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i think they just sum up all the sizes of the inputs to make one full-res monitor to the pc. | 08:28 |
| lapion | _L30_, this problem arose after upgrading ? | 08:28 |
| _L30_ | lapion: i didnt upgrade | 08:28 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, yes, but at a max res of X by 768 | 08:28 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, ahh, here, check this out....... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884161 | 08:29 |
| lapion | _L30_, where did you get the pueros kernel ? | 08:30 |
| lapion | pureos kernel ? | 08:30 |
| _L30_ | http://download.tuxfamily.org/gendeb/PureOS/PureOS_20_2010/ | 08:30 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, yeah, but i think he's using an old unsupported package to do it | 08:30 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/ | 08:30 |
| petsounds | hi guys, can you tell me how to fix broken plymouth (low resolution) after installing video card driver? thanks | 08:30 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, eh, maybe, it is an old post | 08:30 |
| mneptok | bp0: Songbird is no longer developed for Linux | 08:30 |
| lapion | _L30_, why would you install that kernel ? | 08:31 |
| touchzou | Any good games about racing in ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, it might still work, but you need to use the old package which could be a pain. i read that post before when i was workin on it, i don't remember if i tried it | 08:31 |
| mneptok | touchzou: sudo apt-get install supertuxkart | 08:32 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, LOL, nice, have improved since I last looked at them but still only a max of 3 monitors which is great for gaming, problem is I don't game much. I may read the post more, I may need to build my xorg.conf file by hand | 08:32 |
| touchzou | mneptok: thanks | 08:32 |
| bp0 | mneptok, why not? | 08:32 |
| _L30_ | lapion: JLT | 08:32 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, if you have a dual head card, you can use two of those one on each input | 08:32 |
| _L30_ | have some test issues with the work ive given | 08:32 |
| lapion | _L30_, elaborate | 08:33 |
| [zz] | So I have a sort of odd question; I have 32-bit 10.04 installed on an HP DV5Z and it appears that xorg.conf simply doesn't exist, making editing it obviously slightly impossible. Any reason why this would be the case? | 08:33 |
| _L30_ | so that kernel would ease out | 08:33 |
| bp0 | mneptok, ... the main site still has linux downloads... in tar.gz | 08:33 |
| bp0 | but, i want an ubuntu package | 08:33 |
| touchzou | mneptok: I played it ever before ,but now I found I forgot the name of it | 08:33 |
| _L30_ | need to use the live scripts | 08:33 |
| lapion | _L30_, that is not an official ubuntu kernel I guess.. | 08:33 |
| TyanColte | back everybody | 08:33 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, true true, shouldn't have to though. Huh, may stick with Windowz longer, unfortunately. Really sucks too, I'm tired of the MS BS | 08:33 |
| mneptok | bp0: http://blog.songbirdnest.com/2010/04/02/songbird-singing-a-new-tune/ | 08:33 |
| _L30_ | yes lapion | 08:33 |
| _L30_ | yet i has to work out | 08:34 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, yeah, maybe keep it around for when you need all 4 like that until it's supported better | 08:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | [zz]: that's the default now - it s done automatically at bot | 08:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | *boot | 08:34 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, post 693 on that thread looks promising | 08:35 |
| [zz] | well_laid_lawn, what then would be a solution (if one exists) for configuring stuff that appears in there? | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | [zz]: if you make an xorg.conf it will be used | 08:35 |
| goddard | How do I monitor traffic coming from my router? | 08:35 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, yea, it's still installed in my raid array, currently running dual boot since I wasn't sure how ubuntu or any other Linux OS would react with all my hardware | 08:35 |
| [zz] | should that just go in /etc/, then? | 08:35 |
| [zz] | also that's really weird. | 08:36 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, yeah, i had that working, just no fancy effects are possible | 08:36 |
| Visseroth | goddard, check out pfsense, serious router that beasty is | 08:36 |
| bp0 | mneptok, look at the bottom update on that page... it says the source is still available, and the linux build infrastructure... | 08:36 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, well WTF, that sucks gonads | 08:36 |
| TyanColte | it's still not showing the Ubuntu Splash Screen | 08:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | [zz]: it goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - you can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find out what is being used | 08:36 |
| lapion | _L30_, the kernel is from april first, while lucid is from april 29th.. | 08:36 |
| mneptok | bp0: yes, but the official developers will no longer update the Linux codebase. | 08:37 |
| [zz] | well_laid_lawn, thanks :D | 08:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | np | 08:37 |
| lapion | _L30_, check if the kernel has ext4 support | 08:37 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, totally sucks, but I'm sure as soon as someone figures out how to do it, it will be widely available | 08:38 |
| _L30_ | it has | 08:38 |
| bp0 | bah | 08:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | bah | 08:38 |
| mneptok | bp0: "it's open source," is a polite way of saying "if you want updates and new features, feel free to write them yourself." | 08:39 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, true enough, I'm going to do some more digging around, see what I can find and do some dinking around since this isn't my main OS at this time and see what I can break >:-P | 08:39 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i think it's just compiz, so you can still use the window manager compositing for some basic effects, i think | 08:39 |
| goddard | Visseroth thanks i will check that out although I was looking for a while to monitor a linksys wrt54g | 08:39 |
| Visseroth | goddard, it's worth a look for sure, it requires either a VM or a dedicated machine but it has a bunch of features but there is a app that is a windows app that will log the system log information coming from the router if that is something you are looking for | 08:41 |
| lapion | _L30_, make sure the kernel can mount filesystems based on uuid.. | 08:41 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, huh, just enabled the effects, kind of weird seeing windows move like jello | 08:41 |
| _L30_ | ok lapion | 08:41 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, it gets old quick :) | 08:41 |
| _L30_ | thanks will get backs to you | 08:42 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, the one i really like is being able snap/tile windows with the keyboard to lay them all out really well | 08:42 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, lol, yea, I bet. Use yours for work at all? | 08:42 |
| tripelb | please compare: xchat common and xchat. What does it mean "common files for xchat" or more what I want to know is what kind of files are they? Are both _needed_? (I remember in Fortran "common" variables. :) | 08:42 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, yea, i could see that being handy though that's what I have 4 screens for | 08:42 |
| lapion | _L30_, use native devices instead, eg: /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 or whatever devices the virtual machine uses | 08:42 |
| _L30_ | k | 08:43 |
| tripelb | codebrainz - I am interested in what you said: I'd like to chose two windows and have them both share the screen and fill it. Is there something to do that for me? | 08:43 |
| fher | #ubuntu-es | 08:43 |
| codebrainz | tripelb, with compiz enabled, it's something like ctrl alt or super alt plus a number on the number pad | 08:44 |
| codebrainz | tripelb, you might need to enable it in the compiz plugin manager and figure out in there what the key combos are | 08:45 |
| jungli | Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND). | 08:45 |

| Plasma_ | Hi everyone. I have an Ubuntu VPS and I've just installed ubuntu-desktop. I've connected via VNC fine. The problem I have is that typing some keyboard characters come out wrong on. Typing the number 1 over VNC comes out as the number 9. Other characters are also wrong. Some characters are fine (such as a, b, c, etc) | 08:46 |
| tripelb | and I just started learning what compiz was today. | 08:46 |
| codebrainz | tripelb, i think it'll run straight off the livecd | 08:47 |
| Plasma_ | I went to System->Keyboard and only 'Generic keyboard' is the only model. The layout is set to US. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this keyboard map problem? I assume I need to choose a non-generic keyboard model or something, but only generic is listed | 08:47 |

| tripelb | mneptok, this is a network connection. Isnt it? Or do you mean something else. | 08:52 |
| theadmin | anthony: "not working" is not working here. Details please. | 08:52 |
| codebrainz | Retrace, without troubleshooting the actual problem, you could try just reinstalling it with 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server' | 08:52 |
| northwoods | Is there a way to create shortcuts for applications like openoffice word docs | 08:52 |

| Retrace | codebrainz, ok will try | 08:53 |
| theadmin | northwoods: Or specific file types? | 08:53 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, hey, where do you pull up system information in this OS, not the task manager but CPU info, speed, junk like that | 08:53 |
| northwoods | theadmin , no like i press some shortcut key like windowskey + w | 08:53 |
| northwoods | and it opens a blank office document | 08:54 |
| mneptok | Visseroth: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 08:54 |
| anthony | i mean ubuntu 10.04 is not working on my computer. the cd is not working that i download and the cd that canonical send me is not working also. | 08:54 |
| tripelb | omg mneptok IT installs. (ditch previous wrong concept into head-trashbin) | 08:54 |
| theadmin | northwoods: Oh, system -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts. There is no "Windows key", there is the Super key. | 08:54 |
| nhak | what do i need to execute the command mail? | 08:54 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, i forget where in gnome, but there's a wicked util for that in the repos, let me see if i can find the package name | 08:54 |
| TyanColte | i have a purple lucid start screen with moving dots on the top where my splash screen is supposed when i start my computer | 08:54 |
| Plasma_ | codebrainz: Thanks. That command did nothing apparently, but console-setup did. I'm restarting my vps now with a DELL keyboard chosen, hopefully that helps | 08:54 |
| northwoods | theadmin, thanks | 08:54 |
| theadmin | northwoods: The command you want in this case is "swriter" | 08:54 |
| nhak | maybe have to configure some smtp mail servers to send and receive emails? | 08:54 |

| codebrainz | Plasma_, ah, right. i knew i'd seen it somewhere | 08:55 |

| Shvonder | To install ATI driver I need XFree86-Mesa-libGL. I've found that there is have to be installed libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686. but when I had checked it it said that "ubuntu-desktop" have to be removed. What can I do | 08:57 |
| igoryonya_ | linux, do you mean what IDE to use? | 08:57 |
| nhak | what do i have to configure to execute the command mail? | 08:58 |
| theadmin | linux: #c++ I think | 08:58 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, stupid multi desktop crap! | 08:58 |
| northwoods | theadmin, the keyboard shortcuts should work something like this , when i'm on mydesktop/workspace1 for ex ,say i pressed www , 3 times , would it open my browser , is that waht you mean ? | 08:58 |
| linux | igoryonya: Nah, I'm writing a program in C++ but I need to get it to run inside a GTK+ interface, and I have no idea how. | 08:58 |
| Plasma_ | codebrainz: doh, no change at all. Within ubuntu destkop if I visit System->Keyboard on the 'layouts' tab there is a 'keyboard model' option. I only see 'generic keyboard' listed. Do you know how to get more items added to this list? I assume thats what I want to do | 08:58 |
| linux | theadmin: thankyou! | 08:58 |
| === northwoods is now known as Northwoods | ||
| theadmin | northwoods: Uh, no, that's a special key on the keyboard, usually it has something like a globe or a *yuck* IE logo on it | 08:58 |
| TyanColte | so nobody knows | 08:58 |
| theadmin | Northwoods: Some keyboards may not have it | 08:59 |
| crdlb | theadmin: I can't say I've experienced that (you realize it uses one process for all windows, right?), but you could try roxterm or xfce's terminal | 08:59 |
| theadmin | crdlb: I do realize that :D And I check it with xterm via htop when no gnome-terminal is running, it still sits there | 08:59 |
| codebrainz | linux, the gtk api is really well documented too, and you can use Glade if you want to build a ui without having to code it all manually | 09:00 |

| DrMrHorse | anybody know how to get rid of my grub 2 splash screen? i got it by accident and i cant get rid of it. | 09:00 |
| theadmin | linux: It's not, you have to register | 09:00 |
| Northwoods | theadmin, that is perfect i gotcha | 09:00 |

| linux | theadmin: thankyou! | 09:01 |
| linux | codebrainz: plus I'd rather learn how to code it by hand anyway lol | 09:01 |
| codebrainz | linux, the glade/gtkbuilder file gets used within your c++ code | 09:01 |
| codebrainz | linux, you still code it mostly by hand, just takes some of the pain out | 09:01 |
| TyanColte | anybody know how to start plymouth? | 09:01 |
| linux | codebrainz: Oh! I knew it was something simple, thankyou! | 09:02 |
| theadmin | TyanColte: Start? It's the boot splash thingy, you don't "start" it | 09:02 |
| TyanColte | ok, well it's not working right | 09:02 |
| Northwoods | theadmin, i tried by creating a new shortcut , i added , swriter as name and switer as command , then i set Crtl+w as shortcut , i tried this shortcut , it says command not found | 09:02 |
| theadmin | meh for simple UI coding I go with python [/offtopic] | 09:02 |

| falafell | was there a new kernel put in mainstream security updates just today? | 09:04 |
| ZachK_ | anthony: I'd not recommend it | 09:05 |
| arand | falafell: yes | 09:05 |
| anthony | i will not install it | 09:05 |
| falafell | tnx arand | 09:05 |
| theadmin | anthony: It's not ready yet I suppose | 09:05 |
| anthony | i just what to try in | 09:05 |
| chrispin | theadmin , I really need a helpdesk solution to support my users | 09:05 |
| falafell | do you know if it solves the WPA+WPA2 connection issue and the i9xx freezes? | 09:05 |
| theadmin | chrispin: I gave you a link already, test it, see how it is | 09:05 |
| anthony | ok | 09:05 |
| ZachK_ | anthony: You'd have to wait until it's released dude... | 09:05 |
| arand | falafell: and security.ubuntu.com struggled (struggles) for a while, it seems (disconnects while downloading it... | 09:06 |
| chrispin | I've been using teamviewer for a some time | 09:06 |
| arand | !maverick | anthony | 09:06 |
| ubottu | anthony: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - See http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/336 for announcement - Developer summit: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS | 09:06 |
| anthony | ok i just hope on the next release it will work on my computer | 09:06 |
| arand | anthony: And #ubuntu+1 for discussion | 09:06 |
| theadmin | chrispin: Is that so? Well, what's wrong with it? Give some more details on what's wrong and I'll try to find a proper application for you | 09:06 |
| falafell | arand i'm using custom kernel now that fixes the i9xx chipset issues and WPA+WPA2 issues, should i upgrade ? | 09:06 |
| anthony | ah. ok | 09:06 |
| chrispin | theadmin, I need an application like helpdesk where users can log their issues and track progress | 09:07 |
| Vigo | Like moin-moin? | 09:08 |
| drumline_ | chrispin: willing to spend any money? Or want/need open source? | 09:08 |
| theadmin | chrispin: Hm... that gets a bit complicated now... none desktop ones that I know of, tons of web-based ones but not desktop :/ | 09:08 |
| chrispin | theadmin, which webbased one do you? | 09:08 |
| arand | falafell: if it's not from the main repositories the new kernel might get priority over it, yes. but then again, it's a security update, you should in that case try to find a version of your custom kernel that has the security updates as well, of course.. | 09:09 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, so how do you have your monitors setup so far, you use that magic box? | 09:10 |
| theadmin | chrispin: Welp, phpsupport, iQDesk, exoPHPdesk, HESK, just to name a few | 09:10 |
| theadmin | oh boy, new Pidgin is in the repos ^_^ Will be off for a while now, need to update | 09:11 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, currently i have just two 22" on one video card, the third monitor is hooked to my nice laptop, so 4 monitors across 2 pcs, using synergy to share mouse and keyboard between them | 09:11 |
| Visseroth | codebrainz, ahh, well there ya go | 09:12 |
| codebrainz | Visseroth, mostly because i dedicate 1 monitor to media anyway, so now i can offload that onto my laptop | 09:13 |
| Plasma_ | codebrainz: Im an ubuntu nebw, but following this last post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37564 fixed it for me. Any idea why? | 09:13 |
| Plasma_ | I changed my xstartup to match that users post and now my keyboard types correctly | 09:13 |

| a_m_y | hi wanted to know what is the best virtualization in ubuntu (enterprise level), xen or kvm? tnx | 09:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh | 09:14 |
| Plasma_ | codebrainz: Heh if I visit keyboard settings (just looking at the tab) it immdeiately breaks again | 09:15 |
| Vigo | a_m_y: You do know about Best? | 09:15 |
| a_m_y | wanted to know what is the best virtualization using ubuntu with enterprise level, xen or kvm? tnx in advance | 09:16 |
| w83 | hi all, is it possible to change the mounting points on a working system - I need to switch /home to another partition ?? | 09:16 |
| Vigo | !best | a_m_y | 09:16 |
| ubottu | a_m_y: 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. | 09:16 |
| arand | a_m_y: kvm is most promoted/officially supported one | 09:16 |
| arand | a_m_y: as for "best", se above. | 09:17 |
| Vigo | a_m_y: I agree with arand , stick with the supported ones that are known to work. | 09:17 |
| a_m_y | tnx, am not polling or anything, am a newbie | 09:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | w83: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-partplan.html - tells you how | 09:18 |
| chrispin | theadmin, let thanks let me have look at the provided helpdesk solutions | 09:18 |
| Nozy | hi all | 09:18 |
| Vigo | a_m_y: Is all okie dokee, just wanted to stress the best is not always best. | 09:18 |
| a_m_y | wanted to try though, I guess, before asking I should try it first. anyways tnx for the free consultation. tnx for everything and the time | 09:18 |
| Nozy | have got a funny error using Ubuntu 9.04 and not sure why Evolution Mail is now send emails ( as a hot key when I press x ) so if I do a email and try x like in ne(X)t it send the email on x | 09:18 |

| === paddy_melon is now known as paddymelon | ||
| unggnu | Wipster, but it doesn't seem to work all the time, but if so, it is great | 09:37 |
| unggnu | Wipster, if it only one package without dependencies you can just remove and reinstall it after deleting the ppa | 09:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | pvh_sa|wrk: I'm suprised it is nothing like any ubuntu you've seen then... | 09:38 |
| Wipster | unggnu, thanks I will give it a try | 09:38 |

| unggnu | surface, the password is random afaik, you just have to restart gdm from console if it doesn't autologin after reboot | 09:40 |
| unggnu | Wipster, yes, it isn't but it is in a ppa :D | 09:40 |

| ikonia | pericles: with what ? | 10:03 |
| pericles | with seahorse | 10:03 |
| ikonia | in what respect | 10:03 |
| pericles | in ubuntu 10.04 | 10:03 |
| ikonia | in what respect | 10:03 |
| ikonia | what is your actual question | 10:03 |
| vistakiller1 | and the strange is tha one month have passed from release and you have done nothing to fix the problem | 10:03 |
| vistakiller1 | i think canonical go away from dekstop editions | 10:03 |
| Visseroth | qibublcts | 10:04 |
| vistakiller1 | he cares only about server edition | 10:04 |
| Visseroth | a / | 10:04 |
| ikonia | vistakiller1: stop ranting | 10:04 |
| rww | vistakiller1: If you have a support question, please ask it. If you don't, please redirect your monologue to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 10:04 |
| vistakiller1 | ikonia i use ubuntu 5 years | 10:04 |
| ikonia | vistakiller1: I don't care - stop ranting | 10:04 |
| theadmin | vistakiller1: That's not true, didn't you see how much better the desktop editions got since, say, Interpid? | 10:04 |
| vistakiller1 | i know what i say | 10:04 |
| Visseroth | ixrt 4 | 10:04 |
| theadmin | vistakiller1: But that's highly offtopic | 10:04 |
| vistakiller1 | is not offtopic when you have technical problems with the distro | 10:05 |
| vistakiller1 | and none fix them | 10:05 |
| theadmin | ikonia: ...Canonical is NOT crappy. Not that I want to mess with the ops but come on. | 10:05 |
| ikonia | theadmin: I never said it was | 10:06 |
| theadmin | ikonia: (01:04:53 PM) vistakiller1 left the room (Kicked by ikonia (stop ranting in ubuntu about crappy canonical it's for support only)). | 10:06 |

| pericles | ikonia, I sent you private messages | 10:07 |
| ikonia | pericles: please don't, please ask the channel if you have a problem, then more people can respond if they know the answer | 10:07 |

| ikonia | thinkstu: grub2 has changed, look in /etc/grub.d | 10:08 |
| theadmin | thinkstu: menu.lst is not ever used since... Jaunty? Karmic? it's grub.cfg now | 10:08 |

| rocket16 | agus: Streamripper can do it, | 10:09 |
| thinkstu | ikonia, theadmin thank's :D | 10:10 |
| pericles | how about seahorse ? :'( | 10:10 |
| ikonia | pericles: what about it ? | 10:10 |
| pericles | well | 10:10 |
| pericles | I did ask my question here | 10:10 |
| pericles | so my problem is that I can't manage to delete keyrings in seahorse, and I'd like to know if it is possible to do it in another way than the GUI | 10:10 |
| airtonix | agus, also - rhythmbox-record-station | 10:10 |
| rww | pericles: "keyrings" meaning GNOME password ones, gnupg ones, or ssh ones? | 10:11 |
| airtonix | agus, its a streamripper frontend plugin | 10:11 |
| pericles | GNOME | 10:11 |
| agus | rhythmbox-record-station is plugin? | 10:11 |
| rww | pericles: look in .gnome2/keyrings in your home folder, delete the files it contains as needed | 10:11 |
| tux28 | salut | 10:12 |
| airtonix | agus, yes, just install that package, then restart rhythmbox if you're already having it running then turn the record-radio station on in the rhythmbox plugins config | 10:12 |
| tux28 | salut | 10:12 |
| rww | !fr | tux28 | 10:12 |
| ubottu | tux28: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 10:12 |
| pericles | wow, this is it. I did try this before, but I don't why I couldn't find .gnome2 folder | 10:13 |
| arand | I have an issue that FF's awesomebar takes ages (over 1min) to perform a search, whereas the search entry does the exact same thing in ~1s. Does anyone else see this, know of a bug #, or somewhere to find out more? This is on ubuntu 10.04 FFv3.6 and I did NOT see this on v3.5 in ubuntu 9.10 | 10:13 |
| pericles | thanks a lot rww | 10:13 |
| rww | you're welcome :) | 10:13 |
| airtonix | agus, then in the radio station browser, clicking a radio staion should produce a red circle in the toolbar which lets you record the station, you should also see a another icon there that shows you a list of current recording streams and also lets you play those streams as if you used the streamripper -r 8001 parameter | 10:13 |
| pericles | very efficient channel <3 | 10:13 |

| Alchimista | hi there, i'm having a problem with ubuntu, it does not open the folders :S | 10:15 |
| agus | i cannot find rhythmbox-record-station in repository | 10:15 |
| airtonix | !info rhythmbox-record-station | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Package rhythmbox-record-station does not exist in lucid | 10:15 |
| airtonix | -s | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: can you expand on that problem a bit, "what" doesn't open "which" folders | 10:15 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: for example, the documents folder does not open, from places option | 10:16 |
| sy | hello | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: what happens when you try to open Documents from the palces option ? | 10:17 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: shows the indication that it's oppening, and then disapears | 10:17 |
| airtonix | agus, ah i remember having to download the deb from here - https://launchpad.net/rb-record-station | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: ok - do you know how to open a shell ? | 10:17 |
| airtonix | agus, click large green button on the right of the page | 10:17 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: shel? command line? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: correct | 10:18 |
| Alchimista | i'm in the console.. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | great | 10:18 |
| cappie | hi | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: can you please do "cd ~/Documents" | 10:18 |
| Wipster | unggnu, amazing thanks for that ppa-purge tip that teaches me to try and upgrade a package in a work computer :| | 10:18 |
| cappie | can anyone tell me where I go with questions about Ubuntu Netbook edition? | 10:19 |
| airtonix | agus, you should also make sure you have streamripper installed | 10:19 |
| Vladimirqq | hi, how to get in File Browser current directory full location like /home/user-name/, no there a 3 buttons there -"/" "home" "user-name" | 10:19 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: i'm in the Documents, tell me things.. | 10:19 |
| Vladimirqq | how to get in File Browser current directory full location like /home/user-name/, now there are 3 buttons there -"/" "home" "user-name" * | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: do "ls" - does it work ? | 10:20 |
| airtonix | Vladimirqq, type ~ in the location bar | 10:20 |
| augustl | reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Managing. From where do I get this /etc/libvirt/qemu/newvm.xml file? What generates an XML file for a VM? | 10:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | cappie | 10:20 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: gave me the name of another folder | 10:21 |
| Vladimirqq | airtonix: where is this config? | 10:21 |
| unggnu | Wipster, you are welcome :) | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: but you can see listings ? | 10:21 |
| agus | how to add bbc radio program in rhythmbox? | 10:21 |
| airtonix | Vladimirqq, 1) press ctrl + L 2) type ~ 3) press enter | 10:22 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: no, i did the dir to see the content | 10:22 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: In Terminal, type: gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and in the file that opens, erase everything and copy and paste this code: http://pastebin.com/JGkqnSwe | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: I asked you to use the command "ls" | 10:22 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Then save the file, and you are done. Then, logout and login again, and it will work. | 10:22 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: using that command it only shows a name, wich is from a sub folder | 10:22 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Also, remove the numbers given in that code, like 1. 2. 3. etc, they must be removed | 10:23 |
| brianlions | airtonix, how to disable those buttons and use location bar instead? | 10:23 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Like instead of 15. XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos", enter only XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos" | 10:23 |
| Ongaku | Sziasztok penguinfakkerek | 10:23 |
| Vladimirqq | airtonix: thanks, can i use it all time? (remember than i use it in 8.10 or 9.04 ) | 10:23 |
| Ongaku | Ola bruderz | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: do you have pastebin init installed ? | 10:24 |
| Ongaku | ikonia bruder ola | 10:24 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: don't know, how can i see? | 10:24 |
| airtonix | brianlions, press Ctrl + L toggles between its two modes. | 10:24 |
| Visseroth | no multi-monitor support=ubuntu sucks! | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Ongaku: do not start this rubbish again | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: what video card | 10:25 |
| Ongaku | Visseroth bro: great! | 10:25 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Did you enter the code which I posted in pastebin to that file? | 10:25 |
| Visseroth | NVidia 8800GT | 10:25 |
| Ongaku | ikonia: please... | 10:25 |
| airtonix | Vladimirqq, only if you have 1) the desktop focused, or 2) nautilus, thunar, pcmanfm or dolphin focused. | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Ongaku: this is your only warning. | 10:25 |
| Ongaku | ikonia: please say: please,... | 10:25 |
| brianlions | airtonix, but after i press enter, the location bar disappers, i'm on 10.04 | 10:26 |
| Alchimista | rocket16: yes, but still does not work | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: there should be multi-monitor support with the nvidia drivers and the mode "twinview" | 10:26 |
| Visseroth | Sorry, my frustration grows | 10:26 |
| airtonix | brianlions, so | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: no problem, have you looked at twinview yet ? | 10:26 |
| roselone | new to here | 10:26 |
| Vladimirqq | airtonix: what mean "the desktop focused"? | 10:26 |
| Visseroth | ikonio, yea, all it does is span my bottom and top screens and seperates them so that you can move windows from the bottom two to the top two | 10:26 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Did you replace the user-dirs.dirs contents with the code I posted, and save it properly? And also, did you logout? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: what do you actually want to be able to do | 10:27 |
| airtonix | Vladimirqq, it means that you have clicked once on the desktop with the left mouse button+. | 10:27 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Also, remember to remove the line numbers at the beginning of each line, if you copy them | 10:27 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, oh yea! One task bar, one panel bar, 4 screens | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: are you using a quad port card or two dual port cards ? | 10:28 |
| Alchimista | i've copyed it from the edition mode, so it's like how you-ve putted there. Do i must log off the OS? | 10:28 |
| airtonix | Visseroth, gnome panels wont span screens for nvidia as far as i know. | 10:28 |
| Alchimista | rocket16: i've copyed it from the edition mode, so it's like how you-ve putted there. Do i must log off the OS? | 10:28 |
| brianlions | airtonix, i just want to get rid of those buttons (i don't like the buttons), is it possible? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: edition mode ? | 10:28 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, 2 X @ | 10:28 |
| Vladimirqq | airtonix: ok, thanks, will be use Ctrl + L | 10:28 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, 2 X 2 that is | 10:28 |
| KungFuBear | hi, does anyone know a way to get Microsoft Silverlight ( for streaming netflix videos ) to work under linux? | 10:28 |
| airtonix | brianlions, did you look through the preferences of nautilus yet | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: ah ha, we have a problem, twinview doesn't support multiple cards | 10:28 |
| Visseroth | airtonix, I know, that is my frustration | 10:28 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: in pastebin, where you insert the code :P | 10:28 |
| airtonix | Visseroth, not for me -) its a blessing | 10:29 |
| Visseroth | kunfubear, yea, run MS OS in a VM, currently the only way | 10:29 |
| erUSUL | KungFuBear: try moonlighlt (from its website) | 10:29 |
| dddd | hey | 10:29 |
| dddd | can anyone here help me wit c++? | 10:29 |
| airtonix | Visseroth, however, docky does support spanning across screens | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: have you looked at xrandr yet, although be aware you'll get no hardware acceleration | 10:29 |
| ikonia | dddd: try ##c++ channel | 10:29 |
| erUSUL | !anyone | dddd | 10:29 |
| ubottu | dddd: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 10:29 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yea, seems like every time I want to give a linux distro another shot it gets smacked down because it doesn't support something that I do | 10:29 |
| vishaltelangre | hi | 10:29 |
| KungFuBear | Visseroth: hrm, I've never run Win in a VM. I'll look into that, thank you | 10:29 |
| Visseroth | airtonix, docky? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: nvidia/ati closed source drivers are a real problem, you can do it fine with an intel card | 10:30 |
| paddymelon | dddd, what help do you need? | 10:30 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yea, need the HW accell too, I'm a power user for sure | 10:30 |

| Visseroth | ikonia, LOL, go figure, the one card I stay away from because it's HW accel sucks, LOL | 10:30 |

| Visseroth | LOL, on a kicking roll, anyhow..... | 10:31 |
| KungFuBear | Visseroth: Thanks, I'll do that | 10:31 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: after inserting that code, should i restart ubuntu? | 10:32 |
| Visseroth | kungfubear, np | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Alchimista: that's a simple solultion yes | 10:32 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: You need to, or else, restart Nautilus. Go to System-Administration-System Monitor, and kill the process Nautilus under processes (right click it, and select kill process). Now, after doing, return to desktop, and press Alt+F2, and type: nautilus and press enter. | 10:32 |
| rocket16 | Alchimista: Sorry I was offline for a while, is the problem solved? | 10:32 |
| cnliuyix | anyone in china? | 10:32 |
| airtonix | brianlions, 1) press alt + f2 to launch the run dialog window 2) type gconf-editor 3) press enter 4) open the folders apps , nautilus, preferences 5) tick always_use_location_entry | 10:32 |

| rww | Visseroth: run gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:35 |
| Visseroth | ty guys | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: use sudo/gksudo - being active doesn't effect it | 10:35 |
| brianlions | airtonix, it works and that's is what i realy need, thank you | 10:35 |

| Visseroth | ikonia, I think I'm going to try editing this bugger by hand and see what I can come up with | 10:36 |
| rocket16 | For Indian users, you can join #ubuntu-in for country-specific help (Sorry for being offtopic, but this isn't an advertisement. I only saw that the Indian channel is nearly empty and inactive). | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: you may have luck with the "nv" driver, however I don't think it's full on 3d support, but it is getting better | 10:37 |
| ikonia | rocket16: please don't recreuit | 10:37 |
| ikonia | recruit | 10:37 |
| Alchimista | rocket16: nops, still without opening folders, even the documents on desktop, i can't open them | 10:37 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: That channel is an Official Channel too. And that was just for information, for you kind info. There is no question of recruiting, as many do not know of the channel. | 10:38 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, got the 3d rendering working, and all the screens on but doesn't like passing windows from screen to screen. Ahh, I dunno, maybe I'll just fire up my raid partition and go back to the MS BS | 10:38 |
| ikonia | rocket16: please don't recruit for any channel in this channel | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: is that with the "nv" driver ? | 10:39 |
| Robertf | Hello | 10:39 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: Please, that was for information. I did not force anybody to join that channel, also the channel is not mine. It belongs to the same Ubuntu Support Team, which runs this channel. | 10:40 |
| Robertf | i've a internal modem 56kbps in my computer. How to know the /dev/tty? | 10:40 |
| airtonix | Visseroth, lol just because you can't span a panel across screens, i cant do that in windows either | 10:40 |
| ikonia | rocket16: are you going to mention everyother channel that's not got a large number in, no you can't so please don't randomly advertise channels | 10:40 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yeppers | 10:40 |
| Alchimista | ikonia: now with the ls, i can get a list of folders | 10:40 |
| Visseroth | airtonix, I can without a problem | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: for nv is there a mode for xinerama extensions ? | 10:40 |
| Docteh | Robertf: look at dmesg for it might be easiest, otherwise its like ttyS0 | 10:40 |
| kyle_ | What does dpkg mean? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | kyle_: it's a package manager | 10:41 |
| Robertf | Docteh: it's a internal modem in a laptop | 10:41 |
| wavez | how do I get my architecture type? | 10:41 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: That was not an advertisement, and as an Indian myself, I saw that many Indian users are here, who might not know of an Indian channel for Support. Please understand the matter. | 10:41 |
| Robertf | Docteh: are there commands to check the modem? | 10:41 |
| rocket16 | wavez: Use in terminal: uname -a | 10:41 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yep, it disables 3d rendering but it does work for the most part, I just can't use card number two because it won't let the mouse pass over there, it starts wigging the mouse out and sometimes get's it stuck in those screens and I can't get it back | 10:41 |
| ikonia | rocket16 stop - now | 10:41 |
| wavez | hmm... | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: as I feared, sorry, I think your not in a good configuration with that. I do have access to a 4 port older nvidia card here, I may try it with a 4 port twin view see if that works | 10:42 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: Please, put an end to the matter. I do not wish to continue with a relentless quarrel in a support channel. Rolling on a simple matter is offtopic. | 10:42 |
| Docteh | Robertf: minicom is like hyperterminal on windows | 10:42 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, here's my conf http://pastebin.com/8Rc0czeh | 10:42 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yea, I bet it works, I hear it's a cross GPU problem | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: looking now, | 10:43 |
| rww | wavez: uname -a. if you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. if you see "amd64" (or x86_64, I forget which), it's 64-bit | 10:43 |
| * airtonix chuckles | 10:43 | |
| Docteh | Robertf: do dmesg|grep tty and see if any of the lines look modemlike because it could be pci or usb interfaced | 10:43 |
| wavez | rww, damn. It says i686. I want 64 bit | 10:43 |
| wavez | gotta reinstall | 10:43 |
| wavez | I guess | 10:43 |
| rww | yup | 10:43 |
| ZachK_ | mornin gents...and ladies | 10:44 |
| wavez | rww, do I have to make a new live CD? | 10:44 |
| kyle_ | i wanted to look at a version of something installed. can i use a command in apt-get | 10:44 |
| erUSUL | !version | kyle_ | 10:44 |
| ubottu | kyle_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 10:44 |
| llutz | kyle_: apt-cache policy package | 10:44 |
| rww | wavez: yes, they're entirely separate :( | 10:45 |
| wavez | why does it say "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" at ubuntu.com? | 10:45 |
| rww | wavez: because most home users would want 32-bit. it's badly worded and there's a bug open for changing the wording. | 10:45 |
| wavez | haha | 10:46 |
| wavez | rww, thanks for the help | 10:46 |

| ZachK_ | Tuna-Fish2: or you can go to System -> About Ubuntu which is at the bottom i think... | 10:49 |
| KungFuBear | rww: So it is still wise to have a decent sized partition set aside for an actual Windows OS? | 10:49 |

| KungFuBear | yeah, right now I have a 200gb HDD on a laptop. I have 120g for Windows and 80 for Linux | 10:50 |
| rocket16 | Hello ZachK_ :) | 10:50 |
| KungFuBear | I'd really like to stick with Linux though | 10:50 |
| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: that's pretty good | 10:50 |
| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: what do you plan on using MS for? | 10:50 |
| virtual | is it possible to setup a network like this with dhcp server in server and both the ends of router are in differnet network client<----->router <-------> server | 10:51 |
| virtual | client <>router<>server | 10:51 |
| KungFuBear | Netflix videos, um, Gaming (not too heavily), um, and anything else that refuses to work on linux | 10:51 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, ok, back | 10:51 |
| ZachK_ | !network | virtual | 10:51 |
| ubottu | virtual: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:51 |
| ZachK_ | virtual: that might help ya i think | 10:51 |
| Docteh | Robertf: you want something like [10ec:8139] :) | 10:52 |
| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: ok then i think the space ya got set up HD wise is pretty good | 10:52 |
| rww | ZachK_: that factoid's for wifi networking, which appears to be unrelated to virtual's question. | 10:52 |
| virtual | ZachK_, in this network that dhcp server should serve both networks ..is it possible like that?? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: your config looks fine, no issue, but I think your in trouble with your hardware, I can't see a way around that | 10:52 |
| KungFuBear | ZachK_: But if I spend most of my time on Linux, I think I'd want more space over here (linux) | 10:52 |
| ZachK_ | virtual: Ah.....hmmm not sure "D | 10:52 |
| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: ok..... | 10:52 |
| KungFuBear | ZachK_: Although I do also have a external 1t hdd | 10:53 |
| virtual | rww, is that possible ?? | 10:53 |
| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: then use that for your linux storage | 10:53 |
| KungFuBear | ZachK_: I guess I'll keep it this way for now, if I run into problems later I can always make changes. Thank you a lot for the advice :) | 10:53 |

| ZachK_ | KungFuBear: cool dude | 10:53 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, yea, you and me both, funny thing is that if I disable Xinerama then I can use all 4 screens but they all act independently of each other which degates the purpose | 10:53 |
| airtonix | bricky, .net 2 but not 3 | 10:54 |
| FullFlannelJacke | I am haing a crazy issu where the keys on my keyboard start going out of control. I dont think its a hardware issue because I see error messages in my logs related to the keyboard. | 10:54 |

| airtonix | bricky, at least not in any sane way i can work out | 10:54 |
| sjm | virtual: you might try over at #ubuntu-server | 10:54 |
| bricky | airtonix: thanks ;) | 10:54 |
| ikonia | Visseroth: it's not a good situation, I agree | 10:54 |
| rocket16 | FullFlannelJacke: Is it an USB keyboard? | 10:54 |

| paddymelon | bricky, the 'C:\ Drive' should be under the Ubuntu Menu => wine | 10:55 |
| airtonix | bricky, wine doesnt install anything... installation is done by the software you-re running... wine fools it into thinking the c drive is in ~/.wine/ | 10:55 |
| Visseroth | ikonia, well thanks for taking a look, think I'll head over to the corrupted side once again but I'll keep my ubuntu installation on the disk that it's on for dinkig around, maybe I'll find it one day or maybe someone else will and fix the problem, sure would be nice to be able to just start hooking up screens and make them work like Winblows does | 10:55 |

| Severian | well_laid_lawn, Incase you are curious, installing KVM added a new kernel and made it the default in grub2. The new kernel does not work. I will go see if it is a known bug. | 10:56 |

| ZachK_ | vishaltelangre: one sec my man... | 10:58 |
| Severian | well_laid_lawn, the new kernel is a pae kernel, which I probably don't need. I think you only need those if you have more than 2 gig ram. | 10:58 |

| ZachK_ | levene_: wait like 30 minutes to an hour.... | 11:01 |
| rocket16 | levene_: I think, better download an Alternate ISO and burn it to Disc. Then update the System, it will be better. | 11:01 |
| Severian | levene_, i'd give it 20 more minutes and then be concerned if nothing had happened. How fast a computer and how much ram? | 11:01 |
| * levene_ wonders what could possibly take an hour of machine time | 11:01 | |

| ZachK_ | levene_: it's always better to backup important data and do a full install from scratch | 11:03 |
| rocket16 | bricky: Sure, first install VirtualBox, and keep a Windows XP Disk and install from it. | 11:03 |
| ZachK_ | Avasz: gimme a sec and i'll look it up | 11:03 |
| bricky | you mean vm ware? or | 11:03 |

| levene_ | ZachK_: define better. it takes a long time for me to get things working as i want each time i install from scratch. i was hoping the upgrade path would do all that for me | 11:04 |
| Avasz | well_laid_lawn, so.. what do i need to do? | 11:04 |
| levene_ | ZachK_: it worked last time... | 11:04 |
| rocket16 | Avasz: See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 | 11:04 |
| Severian | bricky, does your computer have hardware virtualization support? You need it to install OSes that don't have the right kernel hooks. | 11:04 |
| ZachK_ | levene_: well it installs a much more "Clean" system...Updating can cause a mess...much like sweeping the dirt under the rug instead of putting it in the trash can | 11:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | Avasz: sounds like the partition wasn't made right - what filesystem did you choose? | 11:05 |
| Avasz | well_laid_lawn, ext3 | 11:05 |
| levene_ | ZachK_: clean and less full-featured. yes. | 11:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | Avasz: is it an old hard disk? | 11:05 |
| rocket16 | Avasz: If the problem persists, better to reinstall Grub2. | 11:06 |
| ZachK_ | levene_: I can understand the reason for not wanting to do a full install but it's definitely better than an update | 11:06 |
| Avasz | well_laid_lawn, hmm. i cant say that..because i got that hd from someone elsse. | 11:06 |
| levene_ | does the distro upgrade program log its progress anywhere other than /var/log/dist-upgrade ? | 11:06 |

| Laggie | Hi! I am trying to get my automatic activation mails from my website to Not be treated as Spam by the receivers. Is it a good way to use authenticated SMTP for this? | 11:33 |
| Warm_HUG | dzan: this is not the matter | 11:33 |
| caac | jrib, but the new account says it's a desktop user, but my current one is a custom one | 11:33 |
| ZachK_ | Laggie: I'd think so | 11:33 |
| paddymelon | saedelaere, I'm not sure but, could u install the package from packages.ubuntu.com with debian package manager? | 11:33 |
| jrib | caac: you should give the new account admin rights | 11:33 |
| ZachK_ | vishaltelangre: it's ok....and your English is fine man | 11:33 |
| caac | jrib, done, is that the root now? | 11:35 |
| jrib | caac: no. It has sudo privileges | 11:35 |
| caac | ok jrib, and can you gimme the command again please? | 11:35 |
| tristan3199 | is there an apt-get install for a VM | 11:35 |
| saedelaere | paddymelon: I did that, but there is a serious bug in the 64bit version and as long it is not fixed I want to use Activetcl which works perfectly. I mean I could just overwrite the symlink tclsh with "ln -s -f" | 11:35 |

| jrib | caac: yeah | 11:40 |
| caac | ok jrib | 11:40 |
| jrib | caac: after you copy them, you'll need to modify ownership | 11:41 |
| term_oldcomp1 | ? any way to auto share a folder so I don't have to keep resharing every boot? | 11:41 |
| caac | jrib, i can copy, but not paste | 11:41 |
| jrib | caac: right, you'll have to do it as superuser. You can do: gksudo nautilus | 11:42 |
| tristan3199 | so what are these different repositories anyways... is the info on the .com | 11:42 |

| caac | jrib, "SingletonSocket" | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | nicofs: uninstall them via synaptic | 11:45 |
| bricky | I might have used too little ram on my Vbox | 11:46 |
| jrib | caac: why are you running chromium? Are you running it as the old user? The new user? Did you modify the ownership rights for the files you copied already? | 11:46 |
| koshari | bricky its aesily changed | 11:46 |
| caac | jrib, i'm running chromium to listen to music | 11:46 |
| jrib | caac: I asked more than one question :/ | 11:46 |
| fructose | Why would I get this for several ports that appear to be open... | 11:46 |
| fructose | $ sudo nc localhost 3000 | 11:46 |
| fructose | localhost [127.0.0.1] 3000 (?) : Connection refused | 11:46 |
| caac | jrib, i'm running it as the old user, didn't modify anything so far | 11:47 |
| bricky | koshari :) | 11:47 |
| jrib | caac: don't know about chromium | 11:47 |
| jpds | fructose: What does: 'sudo netstat -ltnp' show as running on the port? | 11:47 |
| caac | i'll skip it? | 11:47 |
| fructose | jpds: nothing | 11:47 |
| jrib | caac: if you want | 11:48 |
| caac | jrib, it asks me: A file named ".bash_logout" already exists. Do you want to replace it? | 11:48 |
| koshari | how come in 10.04 a sata partition mounted by sfstab shows up on the desktop as if it were a removable? | 11:48 |
| jrib | caac: doesn't matter, they should be the same anyway | 11:49 |
| nicofs | @urUSUL: would that be something like "linux-image-2.6.x-generic" ? | 11:49 |

| caac | jirb how do i do that? | 11:50 |
| jpds | fructose: What's the issue with nc? | 11:50 |

| visva | Hi, I am new to ubuntu. was using windows only I am an absolute beginner. how do i change the screensaver time out ? also how to search for more themes and wallpapers ? another question : will ubuntu be free for ever ? and can i install internet explorer in ubuntu because some banking sites asks internet explorer | 12:00 |
| CaptainTrek | nyuszika7h: yes, but I dont have answers to yoru questions | 12:00 |
| jrib | MrPicard: you can see there's no such package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.5/ubuntu/pool/main/e/ | 12:00 |
| caac | jrib, it's not a big deal, but all the icons of my folders in the sidebar of nautilus are the same, can i change them back to their original ones? | 12:00 |
| term_oldcomp1 | jrib: is there also a way to auto mount a drive as well? got that same drive asking for a root pw on every boot | 12:00 |
| rhkfin | Could someone point me to instruction how to install FULL INSTALLATION of ubuntu to a usb hard drive. Not live / persistent, but a full installation. Ubiquity doesn't show me the disk at all, but shell sees it fine. | 12:00 |
| jrib | MrPicard: maybe they've renamed it? | 12:01 |
| vishaltelangre | MrPicard read the manuals at the official site of the package regarding manual installation of that on ubuntu | 12:01 |
| nyuszika7h | 3.) Can I change the password dots to be smaller? It was bigger with other Linux distributions, like Mandriva, too. | 12:01 |

| andi123 | hello, is there any way to move unused space to the logical partition? | 12:03 |

| krishna_ | visva, there is a wine app called "ies4linux" you can search to find it. | 12:04 |
| caffeinepill | you can install wine using the synaptic package installer. | 12:04 |
| jrib | MrPicard: compare: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.5/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages and http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.4/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages . You see in 1.4 they had ebox-all and ebox-office, not in 1.5 | 12:04 |
| nyuszika7h | 4.) There are no Cancel or Restore Defaults buttons in many places. So, I can't change my mind? | 12:04 |
| vishaltelangre | andi123, make a one more logical partition with that space! ;) | 12:04 |
| caffeinepill | just type "Wine" on the search box and things should be clear to you. | 12:05 |

| jrib | caffeinepill: python is nice... docs.python.org | 12:15 |

| nyuszika7h | jrib: I've selected English from the Language drop-down list. | 12:15 |
| caffeinepill | @jrib: is it good for .NET programming as well? | 12:15 |
| jrib | caffeinepill: no? | 12:16 |
| jrib | caffeinepill: look at mono for that I guess | 12:16 |
| CaptainTrek | caffeinepill: python != .net | 12:16 |

| caffeinepill | what is .NET programming anyway? is it the same as web developing? | 12:17 |
| vishaltelangre | nyuszika7h, for sure, restart your machine after that | 12:17 |
| nyuszika7h | ok, thanks, returning soon | 12:17 |

| caffeinepill | i know that python is good for script programming, but why isn't good for .net? what's the difference? i knew that their basis is C so why not making the whole issue limited to C programming? or is there something that makes shortcuts instead of making a whole data once again? | 12:19 |

| drizzt_ | if u steal something, at least try to hide it | 12:21 |
| LjL | caffeinepill: no | 12:21 |
| vishaltelangre | caffeinepill, i think Ruby is better than that of python... But I like python much | 12:21 |
| nyuszika7h | I'm back. Now the login screen and other things are in English, but application names and descriptions in Software Center remained Hungarian! | 12:22 |
| iceroot | drizzt_: that has nothing to do with steal | 12:22 |
| iceroot | drizzt_: also there are packages in debian which have the brasnding from ubuntu | 12:22 |

| holyguyver | drizzt_ I have winamp5 installed in WINE | 13:00 |

| user__ | hello | 13:01 |
| holyguyver | iceroot, true however above that I asked "Does anyone know of a program that can help me more delicately edit a music playlist? Rhythmbox is a bit clunky at handling exact song ordering with playlists around 288 songs in size." | 13:01 |

| mnemon | hello user__ | 13:01 |
| iceroot | holyguyver: you want to edit a text-file with media-file-names? | 13:02 |

| AndIrc_ | hola | 14:08 |
| Guest31276 | smt, ok i'll check for that. thanks | 14:08 |
| bricky_ | dsnyders: it reboots my pc the 'normal' way | 14:08 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, hwo can i backup my flash with liveusb whitch i customised | 14:08 |
| thinkstu | there is nothing start with fix, under vista | 14:09 |
| thinkstu | :) | 14:09 |
| rocket16 | hellwolf06: Sure, you can just copy the home folder of your user to a secure location, inside a folder or something in your main ubuntu | 14:09 |
| bricky_ | dsnyders: i tried to install it like 6 times it wont copy | 14:09 |
| thinkstu | smt, there is nothing start with fix in vista :) | 14:09 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, again | 14:09 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, i have deleted all the things that i neednt on liveusb | 14:09 |
| smt | thinkstu: its a subcommand of fdisk (fdisk /mbr) (google it first) | 14:09 |
| rocket16 | hellwolf06: Because Home folder stores all your customized settings, and once the installation is broken, you can reinstall and replace the new home folder with your previous home folder, to retain the customization. | 14:10 |
| thinkstu | smt, let me try it | 14:10 |
| fvaresi | anyone can help me to set permissions when mounting a NTFS partition? | 14:10 |
| bricky_ | rocket16: really?? | 14:10 |
| rocket16 | hellwolf06: I see, you mean, restore them to their original location? | 14:10 |
| magn3ts | So I broke the golden rule and booted my host OS as a guest OS in a VM on accident. "File System Check Failed". I ran "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda4" and now it just hangs during boot. Do I have any good options besides reinstalling? Is there an equivalent to Windows' "repair" functionality that just reloads core system files, etc? | 14:10 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, maybe i should backup using TAR??? | 14:10 |
| bricky_ | rocket16 nice advice heh | 14:10 |
| rocket16 | bricky_: Yes, this is why Linux is portable. | 14:11 |
| rocket16 | hellwolf06: Sure, it is nice, | 14:11 |
| hellwolf06 | because i modified menu | 14:11 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, cound you give me a link on it | 14:11 |
| toughengineer | bricky : can u do that ? | 14:11 |
| bricky_ | rocket16: linux is the only OS i will ever run for now on | 14:11 |
| noelferreira | any solution for the amd64 dual core processor of the flash crashing (on exit) ? | 14:12 |
| BiggFREE | Hi | 14:12 |
| rocket16 | bricky_: In Windows, some settings are stored in registry, while some in USer folder. But in Linux, all such settings are stored in Home folder, in hidden folders and files. To view or edit them, use Ctrl+H to hide/unhide them. | 14:12 |
| hellwolf06 | jeremy???? | 14:12 |
| toughengineer | helloooooooo | 14:12 |

| rocket16 | hellwolf06: Friend, here is a nice link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 (But it is advanced and needs more work). So, best is to archive the home folder, and keep it in the main Computer. It will work, and even your menu settings will be there, :) | 14:14 |
| smt | z0net: have fun ;) i prefere mencoder, but i know im an alien with that view | 14:14 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16,thx | 14:14 |
| bricky_ | why is there a white X in the bottom of my root / lost + found foler | 14:15 |

| hellwolf06 | minit | 14:15 |
| smt | u know, that fdisk /mbr will kill your grub? | 14:15 |
| rocket16 | bricky_: That means, you can not modify the contents of that folder with normal user mode. You need to be root to do that, | 14:15 |

| youngblood | I have a Dell laptop running release 10.04. several days ago I did an update for release 9.04. After the update I lost the use of several keys on the keyboard, "enter", and z,x,c,v.

Can someone point me to a doc that might help? | 14:19 |

Sorry, your search gave no results." What substitute does Ubuntu provide? | 14:22 |

| hellwolf06 | rocket16,HELP!!! | 14:24 |
| smt | SealedWithAKiss: you can edit it without problems, but you dont have the effect that changes are taken over for the next kernel | 14:25 |
| rocket16 | SealedWithAKiss: It can be, but caution should be taken. Also, startup manager2 is going to be released. | 14:25 |
| rocket16 | hellwolf06: What's the problem? | 14:25 |
| fishcooker | rocket16 on the fly :D | 14:25 |
| rocket16 | fishcooker: :) | 14:25 |
| dsnyders | youngblood, You might try breaking to your BIOS and seeing if there's a text field (serial number field, or sometimes the password fields are in plain text), or you can boot to a different OS using a USB or live cd. | 14:25 |
| jrib | bullgard_: it used to be in the "tofrodos" package at least | 14:25 |
| USMAN | vpn connecting in uuntu | 14:25 |
| LjL | jrib: it's in 'tofrodos' for me | 14:25 |
| fishcooker | any interface for mplayer | 14:25 |
| hellwolf06 | rocket16, i need to reconstruct syntaxsis | 14:25 |
| jrib | LjL: apparently in lucid the binaries are named "fromdos" and "todos" | 14:26 |
| SealedWithAKiss | smt, so how do I add a manual entry for Windows Vista? Do I use grub.cfg or 40_custom? | 14:26 |
| smt | fishcooker gnome-mplayer, smplayer, there are lots of frontends available | 14:26 |

| LjL | jrib: oh | 14:26 |
| youngblood | dsnyders, thanks i'll give that a try. | 14:26 |
| rocket16 | fishcooker: Sure, gnome-mplayer, :) | 14:26 |

| Mojak | LjL, from what I see, the back-up is the same as the original sources.list: here's what it gives me when grepping sources: http://www.coppa.org | 14:51 |
| Mojak | ups | 14:51 |
| Mojak | sources.list | 14:51 |
| Mojak | sources.list.back-up | 14:51 |
| Mojak | sources.list.d | 14:51 |
| Mojak | sources.list.distUpgrade | 14:51 |
| FloodBot2 | Mojak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:51 |
| LjL | Mojak: sources.list.d is a directory, it may contain other files | 14:51 |
| smt | sounds like minimal to me, because the full "desktop" cd doesnt nessecarrily need downloads (except language packs, which are huge) | 14:51 |
| harjot | Any idea? | 14:52 |
| Mojak | LjL, opera.list opera.list.distUpgrade < this is what's inside sources.list.d | 14:52 |
| mnemon | harjot: have you checked the log files? | 14:52 |
| Swian | hmm, my printers randomly do not show up, Lucid, any ideas? | 14:52 |
| harjot | mnemon: nope, il do that now | 14:52 |
| LjL | Mojak: then you have added the repositories for Opera, i suspect. maybe they've been moved, try to look inside those files and see if the URL they point to still exists | 14:53 |
| Mojak | LjL, ok, will do that | 14:53 |
| anirvana | smt : ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition(the original copy) | 14:53 |
| a1csc | Hello everyone. | 14:54 |
| smt | anirvana: hmm what is your desired language for your installation | 14:54 |
| anirvana | smt : English(US) | 14:54 |
| a1csc | I just installed Ubuntu server and when I click on updates available it runs, tries to install and then fails. | 14:54 |
| r0tu | hey guys, how do I change my desktop resolution? | 14:55 |
| Mojak | LjL, checked it. they're working fine. it gives me an error for the links which are in sources list | 14:55 |
| r0tu | ubuntu 10.4 | 14:55 |
| LjL | Mojak: which ones, exactly? | 14:55 |
| anirvana | smt : IT's says "downloading ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent" | 14:55 |
| harjot | mnemon: im going for a while | 14:55 |
| mnemon | harjot: k | 14:56 |
| smt | hmm?? thats weird, try an installation without having the system connected to the internet | 14:56 |
| Mojak | there are a lot, dunno if I should paste them here, all are from ro.archive.ubuntu.com | 14:56 |
| Mojak | LjL, there are a lot, dunno if I should paste them here, all are from ro.archive.ubuntu.com (forgot to tab for your nick^^) | 14:57 |
| LjL | Mojak: you can paste the errors on http://paste.ubuntu.com or http://pastebin.com | 14:57 |
| a1csc | Anyone know why this POS would be failing "updates" right out of the box? | 14:57 |
| LjL | Mojak: actually nevermind. ro.archive.ubuntu.com doesn't currently seem to point to anything | 14:57 |
| LjL | oh, actually it pings. but it's down or something. | 14:58 |
| Mojak | yeah, they timeout at ping. should I comment them for now? | 14:58 |
| sipior | a1csc: difficult to say without an error message of some kind. | 14:58 |
| LjL | Mojak: i suggest you change to another mirror, at least temporarily | 14:58 |
| LjL | Mojak: just change them to (for example) "se.archive.ubuntu.com" | 14:58 |
| Mojak | LjL, ok. thanks for the help, man | 14:58 |

| my3gcantnotlogin | mnemon: other that irc and chat what other that slow :p | 15:06 |
| detrate- | smt: yes I know but what I'm saying is that even if it works with metacity.. I'm not going to change to metacity | 15:06 |

| Krumar | ikonia, so you could switch to another termial and start it before the install? | 15:13 |
| ikonia | WierdAAR: why not just use a linux torrent client | 15:13 |
| fishcooker | Sealedwith: have u update your grub | 15:13 |
| fishcooker | ? | 15:13 |
| ikonia | Krumar: the livecd comes with an X desktop, so just use an xterm to install and start it | 15:13 |

| WierdAAR | ikonia, I haven't been able to find one i like, but I'm open for suggestions.. I've been using deluge but don't lile it.. It seems sluggish compared to utorrent | 15:13 |
| my3gcantnotlogin | WierdAAR : sudo apt-get install deluge | 15:13 |
| ikonia | WierdAAR: running a torrent application under wine seems quite backwards, lets see what there is first | 15:14 |

| __goo__ | Pici, thanx, thats what i was looking for | 15:18 |
| grante | is it just me, or is us.archive.ubuntu.com excruciatingly slow today? | 15:18 |
| Pici | __goo__: Yeah, I pressed enter too soon the first time :) | 15:18 |

| detrate- | smt: that's the beauty of it :) | 15:20 |

| johnnyj | is it possible to replace the e2fsprogs on karmic with a later version ? | 15:29 |
| itguru | kryptyk, You have 4 screens with seperate x sessions? | 15:29 |
| itguru | How does that work? Does it display a diffrent x session on each screen? | 15:30 |
| lnostdal | if important things don't work out of the box and you're not willing to read up on things (nothing wrong with that btw.) and fiddle on your own i'd just go back to win7/mac and/or find another computer for my ubuntu/linux needs, toughengineer .. IIRC newer xorg-versions do not have a hard dependency on there actually being an xorg.conf file around; but if you add one yourself it will actually parse it -- i think .. also, it's ofte | 15:30 |
| lnostdal | n a better idea to use packages from the ubuntu repositories .. i do this for my nvidia-drivers for instance; i'd never install stuff downloaded from nvidia.com | 15:30 |
| ManDay | ikonia, http://codepad.org/BtTmjawj | 15:30 |
| kryptyk | itguru: Yes. Each screen has its own panels and windows are locked to that screen | 15:30 |
| itguru | lnostdal, Well said - if you use *buntu distros, then try as much as possible to use stuff from the repos | 15:30 |
| kryptyk | itguru: additionally, opening Firefox for example in one screen, prevents it from opening in any others | 15:31 |
| skiwithpete | does anyone know if there's anything in UbuntuSoftwareCentre that I should use to convert some video into HTML5 compatible vids | 15:31 |
| itguru | kryptyk, can you log in as a diffrent user on that window? | 15:31 |
| Shock | skiwithpete: look for transcoder | 15:31 |
| * itguru knows the question is a bit wierd, but hopefully the answer is yes | 15:31 | |
| Shock | skiwithpete: there are a few alternatives | 15:31 |
| kryptyk | itguru: I have not tried that. Mainly what I am after is the ability to move windows between screens. Xinerama psuedo works for this, but when I try to move past the second screen, it fails | 15:32 |
| hellwolf06 | <BestBot> The BESTEST ubuntu is firefox, because 1 people (100%) said so! | 15:33 |

| Shock | skiwithpete: yw | 15:39 |
| LordChaos | Anybody using gnome in combination with a TLS client certificate ? | 15:39 |
| kryptyk | itguru: Sort of. If I configure Xinerama with the monitors on each GC using TwinView, I can move between the first pair. But I still cannot get over to the second pair. Xinerama causes the mouse to simply shake when moving to the second pair on GC2 | 15:40 |
| Neoteric | so lucid is basically unuseable on ec2 instances | 15:41 |
| Pici | kaioken: Because it is querying the kernel just like you would if you opened the file manually. It doesn't know or care that the filesystem that the 'file' exists on is virtual. | 15:41 |

| bastidrazor | !root | wrksx | 16:22 |
| ubottu | wrksx: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:22 |
| night | ActionParsnip: no, I dl'd from ubuntu webpage while I had a live cd of 8.10 in my laptop | 16:22 |

| FlameTai1 | So guys =D | 16:24 |
| pure_hate | ikonia, ping | 16:24 |
| bastidrazor | wrksx: possibly give the files r permissions by everyone or copy them elsewhere and chown them by your user | 16:24 |
| FlameTai1 | I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu | 16:24 |
| FlameTai1 | And can't figure it out | 16:24 |
| FlameTai1 | http://i46.tinypic.com/153pcp3.png | 16:24 |
| FlameTai1 | Anyhelp? | 16:24 |
| wrksx | bastidrazor, for a web app developement it's a pain, I'll have to do this many times | 16:24 |
| ikonia | pure_hate: yes, hi | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | FlameTai1: did you md5 test the iso you mounted? | 16:25 |
| pure_hate | ikonia, Can I pm you for a sec? | 16:25 |
| FlameTai1 | TBH Imma be straight forward IDK what MD5 test is 8D | 16:25 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I reset my $PATH. What's the default $PATH for Ubuntu | 16:25 |
| ikonia | pure_hate: no problem, sure | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Spreadsheet_: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 16:25 |

| jrib | Spreadsheet_: how did you reset your path? | 16:26 |
| Spreadsheet_ | jrib: export | 16:26 |
| wrksx | bastidrazor, can I create a user and put it in the root group or can I enable the root for a momment ? | 16:26 |
| Spreadsheet_ | ActionParsnip: thanks | 16:26 |
| jrib | Spreadsheet_: in a terminal? | 16:26 |
| Spreadsheet_ | jrib: no, in .zshrc | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wrksx: use: sudo -i | 16:26 |
| FlameTai1 | ActionParsnip: Would the MD5 test help? | 16:26 |
| jrib | Spreadsheet_: ~/.zshrc doesn't contain any path by default anyway, so just delete what you wrote | 16:26 |
| hugo | i got it, thanks for your help :-) | 16:26 |
| Spreadsheet_ | jrib: oo you're right | 16:26 |
| Spreadsheet_ | Thanks, it works now | 16:27 |

| FlameTai1 | => | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | wrksx: make a group, add your user and root to the group then make the data you need access to be group owned be that group instead of roots group | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | wrksx: so instead of root:root it will be root:newgroup | 16:29 |

| onetinsoldier | karuru: you can just click on the buttons with your mouse | 16:34 |
| SwedeMike | hebz0rl_: no, look into something called "unionfs" and others like it. | 16:34 |

| erUSUL | hebz0rl_: dirs can be linked too | 16:35 |

| Dr_Willis | StrangeCharm: hmm.. odd. when i clicked on a adobe air program url. it auto instralled air for me. Worked very well.. i was amazed. | 16:58 |

| obscurant1st | Dr_Willis, that si ple metacity command worked, but everytime i rebots my windows appear without the title bar, so should i include it in the start up programs? | 16:59 |
| obscurant1st | simple* | 16:59 |
| usr13 | hugo: Oh, well then leave the special effects alone. (I do not think it works with OS driver.) | 17:00 |
| night | to what fs should i format my usb key? | 17:00 |
| FirstSgt | help, my start menu is froze and i cant get up | 17:00 |
| usr13 | night: fat32 | 17:00 |
| obscurant1st | btw this problem started coming when i installed Catalyst 10.03 | 17:01 |
| night | ty | 17:01 |
| obscurant1st | and i afraid that its not completely removed | 17:01 |
| rmatte | mhmmm, so I just installed the latest updates via aptitude, went away from my desk so I locked my gnome session... I get back and there's a gnome-screensaver-dialog message that says "You've been p0wn3d! :)" on my screen... anyone care to fathom a guess about what caused that? | 17:01 |
| hugo | ok, thanks | 17:01 |
| lxsys | rmatte: a message left from the lockscreen? | 17:02 |
| rmatte | when I unlocked the message was in the center of the screen | 17:02 |
| rmatte | and the title of it was gnome-screensaver-dialog | 17:02 |
| rmatte | I'm on a secure network so I doubt that my workstation would have gotten hit from the outside | 17:03 |
| rmatte | unless some malicious code somehow made it in to the recent updates | 17:03 |
| lxsys | rmatte: if you lock your screen now, and wiggle the mouse after it's locked, there's a leave message button. try it. | 17:03 |
| usr13 | rmatte: Is it from xmessage? | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 17:04 |
| skrite99 | if i am using grep how can i search for 'this' or 'that' like cat myfile.txt | grep 'this' > this_only.txt .. .. how could i do the same looking for that? | 17:04 |
| greezmunkey | lxsys: yeah, that's supposed to be a comfort for users! Knowing someone was in your cube, at your keyboard... :) | 17:05 |
| rmatte | lxsys: ahhhhh, I'd never used that before, one of my coworkers must have done that :P | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | obscurant1st: install the tool 'fusion-icon' and run it. and use it to select metacity as your window manager, OR right click ont he desktop, changewallpaper, -> last tab (effects) -> Select NONE , that might get it all straightend out | 17:05 |
| rmatte | lxsys: thanks | 17:05 |
| lxsys | rmatte: it's ok.... it freaked me out first time I discovered it too. | 17:05 |
| rmatte | lol | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | rmatte: now is the time to plan your revenge. :) | 17:06 |
| rmatte | everyone here uses windows boxes, too easy | 17:06 |
| mahmoud | any help about application encoding ? | 17:07 |
| greezmunkey | rmatte: send them all a broadcast message to let them know that the Internet will be down for a reboot. :) | 17:07 |
| philosophia | anyone use empathy? what does it mean when i get a popup msg that says "<user> requested a subscription" ? | 17:07 |
| rmatte | greezmunkey: haha, nice | 17:09 |
| mbeierl | for real?!?! the 64 bit flash player is STILL broken (cannot click mouse inside) in Lucid?!? | 17:09 |
| rmatte | mbeierl: it's working fine for me on my 64bit install | 17:09 |
| Tyeu | Hi is there a shorter version of rm? | 17:10 |
| rmatte | Tyeu: funny | 17:10 |
| Tyeu | rmatte: ? | 17:10 |
| lxsys | mbeierl: works for me too, but only after a fix/workaround. | 17:10 |
| LjL | Tyeu: ehm... you want a one letter command? | 17:10 |
| rmatte | oh, that was a serious question? | 17:10 |
| Tyeu | LjL: Yah, like > or something | 17:10 |
| mbeierl | lxsys: what's the workaround? | 17:11 |
| LjL | Tyeu: there isn't. | 17:11 |
| rmatte | pretty sure rm is as short as it gets when deleting files or directories | 17:11 |
| Tyeu | LjL: Can I make one? | 17:11 |
| LjL | Tyeu: you can make an alias, sure. | 17:11 |
| DrDamnit | Had a RAID5 array fail to be mounted upon reboot after a power outage. Logged in via recovery mode, and remarked out the mount point in /etc/fstab. Need to remount, but it says the device doesn't exist. What is my next step? | 17:11 |
| * FlameTai1 sighs | 17:11 | |
| rmatte | aliases can be added to your bash profile | 17:11 |
| FlameTai1 | I really wish I could get this to install -.- | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Tyeu: clarify what you mean by shorter. :) rm is too long a command? egads.. | 17:12 |
| * rmatte agrees with Dr_Willis | 17:12 | |
| FlameTai1 | Dr_Willis | 17:12 |
| night | ActionParsnip: so i re-dl'd, checked hash, it matches the one on site and still got same problem. I select boot from usb in bios, and it justs stops on screen that has "GRUB" written on it in top left corner | 17:12 |
| mahmoud | is there is any admin or mod here to help me ?? | 17:12 |
| LjL | !ask | mahmoud | 17:13 |
| mneptok | mahmoud: with what? | 17:13 |
| ubottu | mahmoud: 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. :-) | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: | 17:13 |
| lxsys | mbeierl: it's part of bug #410407 and the workaround I tried is at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-flash-is-not-recognizing-mouse-clicks.html | 17:13 |
| mahmoud | i ask about text encoding | 17:13 |
| mahmoud | how to change it | 17:13 |
| mneptok | mahmoud: that does not require an op. | 17:13 |
| mahmoud | ??? | 17:13 |
| mahmoud | i dont uderstand u | 17:14 |
| ksbalaji | hw to know cpu temp to monitor? | 17:14 |
| FlameTai1 | Dr_Willis: Do you know why I'd be getting this error? http://i46.tinypic.com/153pcp3.png | 17:14 |
| mahmoud | for ex how to it with gedit ? | 17:14 |
| greezmunkey | ksbalaji: look into lm-sensors | 17:14 |
| FlameTai1 | Sorry forgot I didn't have the link copied lol | 17:14 |
| Tyeu | What is the command to down all network interfaces? | 17:14 |
| choppy_playback | i am getting Jerky playback of videos using the H.264 codec on my netbook which features Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics. Can anyone help me?? | 17:15 |
| FlameTai1 | And it won't go away after I try it | 17:15 |
| greezmunkey | Tyeu: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 17:15 |
| FlameTai1 | Like now it's stuck there -.- | 17:15 |
| night | so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? | 17:15 |
| mahmoud | ?? | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: thats a message on the windows os? No idea what it means.. looks rther typical of the useless windows error messages ive seen befor. | 17:15 |
| FlameTai1 | Well it happens when ever I run the Wubi installer Dr_Willis lol | 17:16 |
| greezmunkey | Tyeu: That may down the interfaces, it would certainly bring all networking to a halt. | 17:16 |
| Tyeu | greezmunkey: that won't disable console access right? | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: ive never figured out the Logic of "Cancel, Try Again, Continue" - Not sure how Contiune differs fro,m Try again :) | 17:16 |
| FirstSgt | I've added a launcher to my desktop that has the command sudo vim /etc/hosts ... but nothing happens when I open it. | 17:16 |
| greezmunkey | Tyeu: not local access, no. | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: i would forget WUBI even exists... | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: use virtualbox or do a normal install | 17:16 |
| DrDamnit | Had a RAID5 array fail to be mounted upon reboot after a power outage. Logged in via recovery mode, and remarked out the mount point in /etc/fstab. Need to remount, but it says the device doesn't exist. What is my next step? | 17:16 |
| night | so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? | 17:16 |
| ksbalaji | greezmunkey, command lm-sensors? | 17:16 |
| kpoman | hi all | 17:17 |
| FlameTai1 | Dr_Willis: I know agree'd about continue and try again lawl | 17:17 |
| greezmunkey | ksbalaji: that's the name of the apt package. | 17:17 |
| kpoman | do someone know how to get a working RTL8187 driver ? | 17:17 |
| FlameTai1 | But Dr_Willis, I have a problem, I have no cd's and no $$$ | 17:17 |
| Tyeu | I'm getting this networking error: http://pastebin.com/5TtNRzDD :( :( | 17:17 |
| FlameTai1 | So Wubi is my only way of installing TBH | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: virtualbox dosent need a cd.... | 17:17 |
| greezmunkey | ksbalaji: read about it here: http://www.go2linux.org/lm-sensors-ubuntu | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: you can install form the iso into vortiualbox.. or use a usb flash drive to make a bootable install flashdrive. | 17:18 |
| night | so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | I want it as an actual OS Dr_Willis | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: Then you should track down a flash drive and make a bootable flash disk.. | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | Ah | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | Hmmm | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | I'll try that | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | Know any good tuts? | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | xD | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I run Linux in virtualbox just fine. - its VERY handy | 17:18 |
| BCMM_ | does ubuntu support ext4? | 17:18 |
| night | Dr_Willis: i have problem with bootable flash disk | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !unetbootin | 17:18 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 17:18 |
| FlameTai1 | Ty | 17:19 |
| night | Dr_Willis: i made live usb with usb-creator from 64bit image of latest ubuntu and now when I boot it I get stuck on black screen saying "GRUB" in top left corner and nothing else | 17:19 |
| Rob_Z | so apt-get in lucid isn't respecting the environmental http_proxy variable...and things may be fixed with newer packages...but since it's not forwarding anything out through the proxy, it can't update itself | 17:19 |
| * Rob_Z grumbles | 17:19 | |
| acidchild | Rob_Z: tryed HTTP_PROXY ? | 17:20 |
| Rob_Z | yes | 17:20 |
| imprint | Hello everyone, greetings from Vegas, the problem I am now having is, every time I watch a show on hulu or national geographic, my computer totally locks up with the audio repeating around 2-3 seconds in a loop and the only way to shut my computer down is to hold in the power button, any suggestions? thanks. | 17:20 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: weird, I'm pretty sure I used that a while back and it worked. There's an /etc/apt/ thing for it too though, which you might want to try. Sec... | 17:21 |
| obscurant1st | there are some error messages comes which i am not able to read because it just comes and goes, how can i see it? it some immedietly after selecting the Ubuntu OS from the boot menu. | 17:21 |
| night | so can no one help with damn live usb? | 17:22 |
| shaitanych | кто нибудь говорить на русском ? | 17:22 |
| rampageoberon | hello, just wondering what the best way to mirror a directory tree is in lucid. I used to use mirrordir in hardy, but it seems to have been removed due to bugs | 17:22 |
| LjL | !ru | shaitanych | 17:22 |
| ubottu | shaitanych: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 17:22 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.1:3142/";" (without the outer quotes) in /etc/apt/apt.conf (or a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ) is what I have | 17:22 |
| Jak | ciao | 17:23 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: wild guess: perhaps you have http_proxy set in your user's env, but sudo is stripping that variable so apt-get no longer sees it? | 17:23 |
| bttf | ciao come stai | 17:23 |
| arvind_khadri | BCMM_, yes it does | 17:23 |
| mrcodex | ola | 17:23 |
| shaitanych | ok | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | night: try making it with Unetbootin perhaps. Ive had cases where some programs/flashdrives/pc's just seem to hate each other | 17:23 |
| kpoman | is there somewhere information on how to get RTL8187 ? | 17:23 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Hi. Can anyone please explain why xubuntu is faster than ubuntu? Does it lack lots of ubuntu options? | 17:23 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: if that's it something like "sudo env http_proxy=$http_proxy apt-get ..." would work | 17:23 |
| apparle | guys what is the command to generate xorg.conf | 17:23 |
| kpoman | because the drivers of ubuntu 10.04 and others, really suck | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: its lacking GNOME and using XFCE instead.. thats basically why | 17:23 |
| kpoman | they are unable to connect to 10m ap's | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: last i tried it - i dident find it atha much faster.. but it depends on yoru machine specs i guess | 17:24 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Dr_Willis: so I cant use any gnome apps? | 17:24 |
| arvind_khadri | apparle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 17:24 |
| Rob_Z | marienz: that did it | 17:24 |
| Rob_Z | Thank you | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: incorrect.. You can run any gnome apps you want.. or any kde apps really.. they will just use/need whatever support libs and stuff. | 17:24 |
| marienz | np | 17:24 |
| jungli | how can i see the calender of september 2010? | 17:24 |
| Rob_Z | marienz I had the enviromental variable setup on login, it worked in Karmic, but not lucid | 17:24 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Dr_Willis: oh. thanks.. | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jungli: you could use the 'cal' command | 17:25 |
| Rob_Z | cal 9 2010 | 17:25 |
| obscurant1st | there are some error messages comes which i am not able to read because it just comes and goes, how can i see it? it some immedietly after selecting the Ubuntu OS from the boot menu. | 17:25 |
| natrixnatrix89 | How do you burn cds? brasero seems quite glitchy.. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Old-skool shell commands for the win :) | 17:25 |
| jungli | thanks Rob_Z croppa | 17:25 |
| emergion_ | Hello is there some way I can gain access to my gnome session when I only have terminal access to my machine? | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: i normally use k3b | 17:25 |
| bastidrazor | natrixnatrix89: i prefer k3b .. but it does require about 300MB of libraries | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | emergion_: you are sshing in, and want to access teh allready running desktop? | 17:25 |
| natrixnatrix89 | thanks. Is gnomebaker any good? | 17:25 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: "sudo env" (to see the env apt-get sees) may also be interesting | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: try it and see if it does what you nead. | 17:26 |
| emergion_ | Dr_Willis, Yes, actually I just want to log out of my empathy facebook session lol | 17:26 |
| natrixnatrix89 | thanks for advices | 17:26 |
| Rob_Z | the sudo env also worked | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | emergion_: you could ssh in and restart the GDM service. that will force X to restart. or kill the empathy program via the cli. | 17:26 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: over here sudo does indeed strip http_proxy. You can probably do something in /etc/sudoers to change that. | 17:26 |
| FlameTai1 | Dr_Willis: What if my Bios doesn't have a boot from usb option? lawl | 17:26 |
| Rob_Z | odd, must be something new in lucid | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | FlameTai1: then you are out of luck i guess. and got to use a disk. | 17:26 |
| marienz | Rob_Z: (I tried "http_proxy=kittens sudo env|grep http_proxy" and got no output) | 17:26 |
| emergion_ | Dr_Willis, I tried to kill my Empathy by the CLI but it would not die? | 17:26 |
| greezmunkey | arvind_khadri: what about this for generating xorg.conf? Same thing? ::sudo Xorg -configure && sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf - thoughts? | 17:26 |
| FlameTai1 | fml | 17:26 |
| FlameTai1 | xD | 17:27 |
| Rob_Z | makes some sense, sudo does strip that out...but stuff is working now | 17:27 |
| rampageoberon | hello, just wondering what the best way to mirror a directory tree is in lucid. I used to use mirrordir in hardy, but it seems to have been removed due to bugs. I basically want to mirror a directory (without rewriting all files) periodically as a backup | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | emergion_: no idea. I dont use the tool. 'sudo service gdm restart' will force X to restart. :) (hard core) | 17:27 |
| FlameTai1 | Any way to burn it to a disk with things already on it that's not closed and use that? | 17:27 |
| Rob_Z | the config file would be the better bet since i'm not the only one on the box. | 17:27 |
| phisher1 | rampageoberon: rsync | 17:27 |
| emergion_ | lol never | 17:27 |
| emergion_ | ill just leave it on for today | 17:27 |
| lxsys | damn cheapo routers :( | 17:28 |
| emergion_ | Why can't I get access to my desktop? Surely that would not be to complex | 17:28 |
| emergion_ | ?? | 17:28 |
| rampageoberon | phisher1: thanks, let me read up on rsync | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | emergion_: if you had gnome desktopp shareing allready ENABLED - then you could.. | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | emergion_: but since you dident enable it beforhand.. that makes it harder. | 17:28 |
| emergion_ | Dr_Willis, Oh wel :) | 17:29 |
| emergion_ | Thanks anyway | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont know of a command line way to ssh in and turn on the desktop shareing. | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | there proberly is a way. :) i just dont know it. | 17:29 |
| rodrigo | boa tarde a todos! | 17:30 |
| FlameTai1 | Dr_Willis: Is there any way to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04? | 17:30 |
| rodrigo | Será que podem me ajudar com o Samba? | 17:30 |
| bp0 | in schat when i add a channel to favorites by right-click and "add to favorites" it never takes | 17:30 |
| jpds | !pt | rodrigo | 17:31 |

| bp0 | schat = xchat | 17:31 |
| usr13 | rampageoberon: You might also be interested in a custom backup script run from a crontab job, maybe onto a USB drive. | 17:31 |
| jpds | FlameTai1: Yes; update-manager -p | 17:31 |
| FlameTai1 | Sweet | 17:31 |
| * FlameTai1 goes to install 8.04 using an old disk he found | 17:31 | |
| FlameTai1 | lol | 17:31 |
| FlameTai1 | BBL guys wish me luck | 17:31 |
| FlameTai1 | =D | 17:31 |
| lxsys | FlameTail: or sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:31 |
| usr13 | rampageoberon: Here is an example: http://www.xs4all.nl/~voorburg/backup.html | 17:31 |
| rampageoberon | usr13: ah thanks, a script of some sort is jus twhat i'm after. had written one for mirrordir earlier | 17:32 |
| mbeierl | lxsys: thanks! that fix worked like a charm! | 17:33 |

| lxsys | mbeierl: you're welcome :) | 17:34 |
| ManDay | How do I find out who is responsible for packing a certain software for the repos? | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: aptitude show packagename ? | 17:34 |
| FlameTai1|Sleepi | Actually | 17:35 |
| === FlameTai1|Sleepi is now known as FlameTai1 | ||
| rampageoberon | usr13: thank you :), time to read and implement | 17:35 |
| FlameTai1 | I got one more question guys | 17:35 |
| ManDay | erUSUL, "Maintainer:" ? | 17:35 |
| greezmunkey | emergion_: here's an interesting post about enabling remote desktop via commandline: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.networking/2003-10/0773.html | 17:35 |
| FlameTai1 | Anyway to use the 10.04 install iso to upgrade from 8.04 instead of having to redownload the whole thing? | 17:35 |
| ManDay | Ubuntu Devlopers, thats kind of general | 17:35 |
| Durf | I'm trying to join 2 .zip files, how do i do it? when i try to extract them I get this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rK6zvCsR anyone got any ideas? | 17:35 |
| mneptok | ManDay: what is your goal? | 17:36 |
| usr13 | Durf: file /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip | 17:36 |
| ManDay | Figure out when the new version is going to be packed mnemon :P | 17:36 |
| trenil | spider | 17:36 |
| ManDay | sorry mneptok | 17:36 |
| Durf | usr13, yes? | 17:36 |
| usr13 | Durf: unzip /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip | 17:36 |
| Durf | okay usr13 | 17:36 |
| BrixSat | any one with an Graphic card ati radeon x2300 ? | 17:36 |
| mneptok | ManDay: then look up the package on Launchpad, and ensure the backports repo is enabled on your machine | 17:36 |
| emergion_ | greezmunkey, Thanks VNC that is a good idea | 17:36 |
| Durf | usr13 it fails | 17:37 |
| usr13 | Durf: file /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip | 17:37 |
| ManDay | mneptok, why the backports repo? | 17:37 |
| ouyes | is there any tool to find and delete all the double files in my hard driver? | 17:37 |
| Durf | It gives me this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/T3V6CzcC usr13 | 17:37 |
| k-rad | fslint package | 17:37 |
| greezmunkey | emergion_: yeah, I ran a locate on krfb on my system, seems like there's a lot of .png files, and one (potential) executable. | 17:37 |
| jrib | ouyes: fdupes | 17:38 |
| Durf | usr13 is unzip the same as extract? | 17:38 |
| emergion_ | greezmunkey, ok well I will get to it thanks again! | 17:38 |
| k-rad | unzip is the extraction of a .zip | 17:38 |
| mneptok | ManDay: because you will not get updates just for a version bump in regular repos. only security and stability fixes are applied to running releases. | 17:38 |
| plouffe | just upgraded to 10.04, now FF java plugin seems to have problems. Any idea why? | 17:39 |

| mneptok | ManDay: Ubuntu is not a rolling release. | 17:39 |
| ouyes | jrib, thank u | 17:39 |
| Durf | usr13 any ideas? | 17:39 |
| plouffe | and fan is blowing like crazy | 17:39 |
| ManDay | ok, but can i not just keep up with the current version - not get backported fixes? | 17:39 |
| ManDay | @mneptok | 17:39 |
| plouffe | cause java is at 98% hmm | 17:40 |
| usr13 | Durf: unzip will list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP archive | 17:40 |
| e01 | i am wondering why editing boot menu is so hard in grub | 17:40 |
| usr13 | Durf: see: man unzip | 17:40 |
| e01 | lilo is many times more simple than grub | 17:40 |
| Durf | usr13 what do you mean? | 17:40 |
| e01 | and doing same work | 17:40 |
| sipior | e01: it's a pons asinorum: if you can't figure out how to edit the menu, you shouldn't be editing the menu. | 17:41 |
| Durf | usr13 wait a se | 17:41 |

| Joker_-_ | Just upgraded my mother's laptop with ubuntu 10.04. She had the UNR interface (I installed it manually since I find it easyer for her) and now it's realy, realy slow. I had this problem before and I know there is a fix, I just can't find it trough google (nor remember what I did in the first place). ATI Graphic card. | 17:42 |
| Joker_-_ | any input? | 17:42 |
| mneptok | ManDay: the backports repository is exactly for that. backporting newer versions. | 17:42 |
| Joker_-_ | *The menu* is slow, the computer is just fine | 17:43 |
| e01 | sipior, do u know some gui util to add xp to grub menu? | 17:43 |
| ManDay | mneptok, backporting, if im not mistaken is introducing a limited set of feature (mostly hipri fixes) from newer versions into older version (say, the regular version in the repos). i would like to get the full new package tho, i assume i cant get that from a repo called "backports", could i? | 17:44 |
| sipior | e01: i don't, no. unless you count gvim as a "gui util". | 17:44 |
| dtx | Hi everyone, I upgraded to 10.04 Lucid x86 Desktop from Karmic, and my Intel graphics chipset quit supporting 3d accel, even 'glxinfo' reports no GLX on screen 0:0 and it segfaults at the end. Do you think the old firmware is still kicking around somewhere, and I need to remove it or something? dmesg makes it look like it falls back the vga16fb driver. What do you guys think? | 17:44 |
| dtx | I have no xorg.conf btw | 17:45 |
| MgMt | Hi, i cant get my wireless card to work. it says device not ready | 17:45 |
| e01 | sipior, :) i think that gvim is from the tools not the utils :P | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis | MgMt: step #1 would be to look in system -> admin -> hardware drivers to see if it needs special drivers | 17:46 |
| MgMt | i did that and it says there are none, but i remember in 9.04 it needed broadcom drivers | 17:47 |
| usr13 | Durf: To use zip do this: zip archive-file.zip file1.zip file2.zip flile3.zip | 17:48 |

| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: That's what I though - too bad for me! I was hoping I could squeeze better performance from this system, alas...no. Thanks :) | 17:51 |
| Durf | usr13, I am trying to unzip 2 documents. They won't let me extract, why? | 17:51 |
| Guest69256 | kann mich eine verstehen | 17:52 |
| usr13 | Durf: Durf: First, check and see if the file is what you think it is. To do that: file /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip | 17:52 |

| dtx | Firefishe, I'd suggest just renaming in case you need it back. Not having an xorg.conf just results to using autodetected defaults. I didn't have an xorg.conf in Karmic, and had full 3d accel, auto detected monitor, everything | 18:28 |

| dtx | Firefishe: What is the problem you are trying to remedy? | 18:48 |
| dtx | Firefishe: Are you in a graphical environment? | 18:48 |
| Firefishe | dtx...yes, but I can drop to a CLI if necessary | 18:49 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: autch.. | 18:49 |
| Firefishe | dtx: I'm currently in xfce, I normally use kde, and just upgraded to 4.4.4 SC | 18:49 |
| dtx | Firefishe: If you are in a graphical environment what is the problem? | 18:49 |
| peloto | no one? | 18:49 |
| === Toyo is now known as cam | ||
| airtonix | rhkfin, first thing you should do is install the non-ose version of virtualbox from the virtualbox website. | 18:49 |
| Firefishe | dtx: When I try to log into kde, it starts to load, but crashes and drops me back to the login screen. | 18:49 |
| msshams | trism: prolem solved, i disabled javascript ;-) and i think this is from cache | 18:50 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: The installation also failed; I can't install or reinstall. Here is what I'm seeing: http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=42961 | 18:50 |
| dtx | Firefishe: Did you install kubuntu-desktop? | 18:50 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: The installer also wants to run the pre-removal script :\ | 18:50 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: does the non-ose have features that ose doesn't,that matter in this case? | 18:50 |
| enriq | I cannot use a fax/modem? | 18:50 |
| Firefishe | dtx...well, I upgraded from karmic to lucid...let me try that and see if it works, there may be some files missing.l | 18:50 |
| Firefishe | missing | 18:50 |
| dtx | Firefishe: probably, I had to do that | 18:50 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: Same issue with --force-all | 18:51 |
| Firefishe | dtx: apt-ing now | 18:51 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, yes it lets you use usb devices in a virtual machine which is essential for you to use your usb drive as a harddrive | 18:51 |
| dtx | alrighty | 18:51 |
| rruella | estou agora mesmo atualizando meu 9.10 para 10.04 e vi durante a atualização algo que diz que o ubuntu não mais dá suporte ao compiz-extra vou ficar sem o compiz então? | 18:51 |
| onetinsoldier | pr3d4t0r: roger. there's a couple ways you could probably fix it | 18:51 |
| om26er | !es | rruella | 18:51 |
| ubottu | rruella: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 18:51 |
| the[V]oid | hi, one quick question: are the hardware requirements of ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition lower than that of the desktop edition? I have an old computer and am wondering whether it might be a good idea to choose the netbook edition istead of the desktop one? | 18:51 |
| * pr3d4t0r 's ears perk up. | 18:51 | |
| Pici | !pt | rruella | 18:51 |
| ubottu | rruella: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 18:51 |
| om26er | oh | 18:52 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 18:52 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: ok, installing virtualbox already.. | 18:52 |
| rruella | e se tiver de ser em portugues, poderá ser? | 18:52 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, if you already have virtualbox isntalled from the ubuntu repos make sure to remove that first. i would also install dkms so that kernel upgrades dont cause you problems with virtualbox | 18:53 |
| onetinsoldier | pr3d4t0r: one way might be to extract the contents of the .deb file with a dpkg-deb command, however... | 18:53 |
| Pici | rruella: /join #ubuntu-br | 18:53 |
| Firefishe | dtx: one sec, rebooting again | 18:53 |
| onetinsoldier | pr3d4t0r: i don't know if that also give you the prerm, postinst, ect... scripts | 18:53 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: will do, thanks | 18:53 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: Is there some way to nuke the installed packages and eliminate all references to this broken package there? | 18:54 |
| onetinsoldier | pr3d4t0r: another way is to edit the file where dpkg tracks installations of packages to make it so that dpkg no longer thinks the package is installed. might even be able to do that with a dpkg command | 18:54 |
| _LessPLastic | So i upgraded to Lucid Lynx... and now my window border buttons are on the top left instead of the top right. Can I switch them back? | 18:55 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: Heh - bright minds... OKi. | 18:55 |
| pr3d4t0r | onetinsoldier: That's what I was thinking. Let me google where that file is kept. | 18:55 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: have you tried just figuring out what is wrong? | 18:55 |
| guntbert | !controls | _LessPLastic | 18:55 |
| ubottu | _LessPLastic: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 | 18:55 |
| onetinsoldier | pr3d4t0r: /var/lib/dpkg/status file | 18:55 |
| arimmer | the[V]oid: I ran Lubuntu in virtual box - it's VERY light and would be perfect for older/low spec machines | 18:55 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: I know what's wrong. Someone removed the files manually from the file system. | 18:55 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: so? dpkg doesn't care about that. | 18:56 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: This .deb isn't in the repositories; it's made by the OpenQRM guys. | 18:56 |
| unop | pr3d4t0r, reinstall the package? | 18:56 |
| pr3d4t0r | unop: http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=42961 - it doesn't reinstall either. | 18:56 |
| arimmer | _LessPLastic: radiance and ambiance have switched controls. pretty sure the other themes retain the old arrangement | 18:56 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: are the prerm/postrm scripts failing or something? | 18:56 |
| dum | is it possible to upgrade ubuntu from CD? I want to install 10.04 on 9.10 without internet access on the PC | 18:56 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: They don't exist -- the installation/removal dpkg fail. | 18:56 |
| kaioken | sendmail is hashed (/usr/sbin/sendmail). What does it mean? | 18:56 |
| kaioken | what is hashing here? | 18:56 |
| xangua | !alternate | dum | 18:56 |
| ubottu | dum: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 18:56 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: oh the prerm/postrm scripts were deleted? | 18:56 |
| arimmer | dum: alternate install iso will allow you to upgrade | 18:57 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: ok, installed virtualbox, now downloading image & mounting usb disk.. | 18:57 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: Yes. | 18:57 |
| Firefishe | dtx: back | 18:57 |
| trinithis | how can i disable sound coming out of my monitor's speakers without disabling sound from my normal speakers? | 18:57 |
| dtx | Firefishe: work? | 18:57 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: Before I got to this box someone else trid to install from both the .deb package and from sources, same product. | 18:57 |
| dum | arimmer: k.. thanks will try it out | 18:57 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: Somehow, in the middle of that, the scripts were deleted. | 18:58 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: your editor suggests the scripts are there though, doesn't it? | 18:58 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: I'm trying to unravel this so that the package installs well from either .deb or sources. | 18:58 |
| Firefishe | dtx: no. it said it can't start ksmserver | 18:58 |
| Firefishe | dtx: at least I got some feedback this time | 18:58 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: you don't have any /var/lib/dpkg/info/openqrm* files? | 18:58 |
| dtx | Firefishe: yeah, I have no clue beyond that | 18:58 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, you need to create a VMDK image from your usb drive. i created a nautilus script to automate this for me | 18:58 |
| dtx | Firefishe: I just reinstalled kubuntu-desktop and it worked for me | 18:59 |
| Firefishe | dtx: k, I appreciate the effort | 18:59 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: The scripts aren't there. The whole file structure below /usr/share/openqrm is gone. | 18:59 |
| Salvad1 | I can 't get my integrated Geforce 6100 to work with proprietary drivers. | 18:59 |
| dtx | Firefishe: I doubt it being a problem with xorg though | 18:59 |
| Firefishe | dtx: sometimes we get lucky ;). Well, I can always burn all our personal files to DVD, and reinstall the 64bit edition ;) | 18:59 |
| dtx | Firefishe: Try creating a new user, and see if you can login with that | 18:59 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: ah.. ok.. so I first create vmdk, then install, then somehow move it back to usb? | 18:59 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: the path I just gave you is not under /usr/share/openqrm. I'm talking about where dpkg stores the prerm, etc scripts for a package | 18:59 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: could you point me to the script..? | 18:59 |
| Wipster | hey, can someone tell me how I can debug some graphical problems? Some times when I boot, the driver seems to initialise with the wrong resolution so my login window is offscreen and I have to reboot untill it gets the right resolution. Any ideas I have been trying to sort this out for ages | 18:59 |
| KaOSoFt | Hmm... I installed the latest kernel update I got today, yet on GRUB it reports the same version as before, and I check for updates and I don't get even one. What might have happened? | 18:59 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, http://pastebin.com/t2UCwDFn | 19:00 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: Sorry, scrolling back. | 19:00 |
| pr3d4t0r | jrib: Checking. | 19:00 |
| onetinsoldier | KaOSoFt: it's the same version of the kernel you had before. just a slightly new revision. so, there isn't any newer kernel for grub to boot to. it's the same version... 2.6.32-22 | 19:01 |
| Firefishe | dtx: I may do that | 19:01 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, i just put that in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/vbox-usb-image then chmod +x it then right click the drive icon that shows on my desktop when i mount a usb drive | 19:01 |
| onetinsoldier | KaOSoFt: the difference was just a minor revsion.. -22.33 to -22.35 | 19:01 |
| Firefishe | dtx: thanks for the suggestion | 19:01 |
| === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 | ||
| KaOSoFt | But I'm pretty sure I saw 2.6.32-35... oh well, it's working just fine | 19:01 |
| === rudolf is now known as Guest37214 | ||
| rhkfin | airtonix: wow, neat! | 19:01 |
| Firefishe | dtx: fresh desktops often allow that | 19:01 |
| dtx | yeah, it could just be some stale settings in your user profile | 19:02 |
| trinithis | nvm got it | 19:02 |
| dtx | Firefishe: ^^^ | 19:02 |
| Firefishe | How do I re-enable CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to hard-restart the x server? | 19:02 |
| KaOSoFt | Oh, I see, thank you. | 19:02 |
| onetinsoldier | KaOSoFt: nope.. it was just 2.6.32-22.33 to 2.6.32-22.35 | 19:02 |
| onetinsoldier | KaOSoFt: ok, you're welcome | 19:02 |
| KaOSoFt | Oh, yeah, perhaps that was so. Thank you! :D | 19:02 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, it'll ask for sudo so it can properly read and write the vmdk image. which occurs on line 57 of that pastebin | 19:02 |
| onetinsoldier | KaOSoFt: cheers :) | 19:02 |
| NFischer | Hi all! i miss my colored indications in the output of ls.. i can remember that once directories were written in green whereas normal "files" would be black.. | 19:03 |
| NFischer | any suggestions?! | 19:03 |
| Firefishe | !ctrl-alt-backspace | 19:03 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, the image acts like a symbolic link for virtualbox, so you still need to have your usb drive plugged in. | 19:03 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: so do I do this only for the root partition or also home & swap..? | 19:04 |
| jrib | pr3d4t0r: judging by your silence I assume you know what to do now? | 19:05 |
| bastidrazor | !dontzap | 19:05 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 19:05 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, no you create one image for a single usb storage device... doing so exposes the whole device as a physical drive to virtualbox... therein after booting a virtualmachine with a ubuntu livecd iso you can treat it like a normal harddrive | 19:05 |
| ovidiuco | anyone know how to configure a bgp session using quagga? | 19:05 |
| rhkfin | ah, ok.. | 19:05 |
| xangua | Firefishe: system>preferences>keyboard then go to the !distribution tab and then press the !option button | 19:06 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, but you need to run virtualbox with gksudo first...(although its frowned upon here i think it only worked for me when i ran VirtualBox after using sudo su) you also need to add the drive image into the virtualbox media manager while running virtualbox as root | 19:06 |

| rhkfin | airtonix: right clicking on one of the partitions in the 'computer' view of nautilus | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | resmo: if you boot to the older kernel and it still works then run: sudo lshw -C network > ~/Desktop/good.txt | 19:13 |
| airtonix | rhkfin, does that partition show up on the desktop? and in /media ? | 19:13 |
| Firefishe | dtx: Oh, I *did* add a new user. No dice, same error upon login. | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | resmo: then boot to the newer kernel and run: sudo lshw -C network > ~/Desktop/bad and compare | 19:13 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: I'm running Kubuntu but I have nautilus installed (dropbox did it..) so it's possible something's missing | 19:13 |
| Firefishe | dtx: So I *did* follow that advice :) | 19:13 |
| rhkfin | airtonix: I don't have nautilus desktop. but in /media, yes | 19:14 |

| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: yeah. try, puring the nvidia driver. reboot. install it fresh, then reboot again | 19:50 |
| b_spezticle | quit | 19:50 |
| Njh | iceroot: im using dpkg-deb. is there a way to do it in that | 19:50 |
| iceroot | Njh: they are simple bash-script running before the installation (preinstall) or after the installation (postinstall) | 19:50 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: I'm rebooting so much the soles of my shoes will need replacing ;) | 19:50 |
| rautamiekka | unop: Excellent, the problem's fixed :) Thank you. | 19:50 |
| Njh | iceroot: right, but i want to be able to create my own | 19:50 |
| iceroot | Njh: use viim | 19:50 |
| iceroot | Njh: vim | 19:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: i hear ya. been there done that. i know how it is | 19:51 |
| Docteh | ManDay: not all of them have options, but yes they are configurable | 19:51 |
| nyuszika7h | In most windows, there's no Cancel or Revert buttons, so I can't change my mind. That's very annoying. | 19:51 |
| iceroot | Njh: and in the rules-file just place dh_install | 19:51 |
| oly562 | awwwww much better, thanks hypn0 | 19:51 |
| Njh | iceroot: do you know what the file is called that i need to modify? | 19:51 |
| oly562 | ok.. back to my question: How can I have Update Manager NOT load kernel or headers automagically? Is there a line in the config I can add? to not install new headers as well? I remember in redhat, there was a setting you could put kernel* to leave it out when up2dating. something similar for ubuntu? thanks :) | 19:51 |
| iceroot | Njh: depening on what you want to do | 19:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: i have to go for about one hour. i'll be back. i wish you luck! | 19:51 |
| Pici | ManDay: Gnome doesn't let you configure your screensavers. If you'd like, you can install xscreensaver and run xscreensaver-demo to modify the screensaver configs. Just make sure that when you run it you don't let it start up its own xscreensaver daemon. | 19:51 |
| Firefishe | rebooting | 19:51 |
| iceroot | Njh: normally you want a file called "postinst" | 19:51 |

| Njh | iceroot: i want to be able to create a symlink, when i use postinstall i get an error: script has bad permissions | 19:52 |
| iceroot | Njh: man dh_make to create the file-structure | 19:53 |
| ManDay | Pici, thanks, I've found the corresponding thread on the forums. Kind of strange that gnome-screensaver has no settings whatsoever - given that there are screensavers such as "text" and "slide show" | 19:53 |
| iceroot | Njh: its building everything you need, changelog, rules, control, postinst, dirs and so on | 19:53 |
| Njh | iceroot: i see, is there anyway to do that though not using dh_make | 19:54 |
| Pici | ManDay: Gnome is weird with letting users configure things. | 19:54 |
| iceroot | Njh: with vim or any other editor you like | 19:54 |
| iceroot | Njh: but you want to use dh_make | 19:54 |
| nyuszika7h | Typing Monitor is great, but there is no way to logout or shut down, if postponing is disabled, the only way is holding the power button. | 19:54 |

Any ideas I have been trying to sort this out for ages | 19:58 |
| nyuszika7h | I have an USB flash drive always plugged in, and Ubuntu didn't forgot its name, so far. | 19:58 |
| marke19 | but is that definitive¿ | 19:58 |
| iceroot | Njh: but trust me, you want to use dh_make | 19:58 |
| marke19 | i mean, are you sure that they wont change anymore? | 19:58 |
| ManDay | Pici, is it safe to replace gnome-ss by xss at all? | 19:59 |
| iceroot | Njh: for building you can use "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" its fast for testing the package | 19:59 |
| Njh | iceroot: ok, thanks | 19:59 |

| ubottu | flametai1: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 19:59 |
| iceroot | Njh: if you want to share the deb, build it with a real chroot, pbuilder is doing that | 19:59 |
| Pici | ManDay: I suppose, but I haven't tried it. xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver use the same settings files, so configuring with one will affect the other. | 20:00 |
| marke19 | they are disk and disk-1 | 20:00 |
| flametai1 | jrib: I attempted that I get an error on "gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"" | 20:00 |

| marke19 | but the last time they were something like | 20:00 |
| marke19 | 4234hj234 | 20:00 |
| jrib | flametai1: the obvious question is: what error? | 20:00 |

| flametai1 | jrib: Yes I have the ISO Mounted | 20:01 |
| iceroot | Njh: dpkg is not building a chroot so it can happen that you forgot to set dependecies and build-dependencies but its bulding because you have them installed on your computer, for that you should use a real chroot | 20:01 |
| jrib | flametai1: does /cdrom/cdromupgrade exist? | 20:01 |
| marke19 | asd | 20:02 |
| flametai1 | jrib: cdrom0 exits, but there is no "cdromupgrade" folder inside of the ISO | 20:02 |
| marke19 | sorry i dont know how to do it | 20:02 |
| jrib | flametai1: well what is there? | 20:02 |

| resno | rooter7: what is your problem? | 20:19 |
| dragoneye | I am using ubuntu lucid! | 20:19 |

What I'd do is to set it up in the Nvidia-settings app, and then do a 'Save' but let it show you the settings it wants to create in xorg.conf, and manually copy & paste them into that file yourself.

| resno | !debian | iLuVdirtypigs | 20:31 |
| ubottu | iLuVdirtypigs: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 20:31 |
| rocket16 | mc__: Yes, | 20:32 |
| guntbert | iLuVdirtypigs: this channel is for ubuntu support - you are welcome to just listen :-) - other question should be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:32 |
| timposey | Is it possible to put several versions of Ubuntu on a single USB to use like a live cd but at the beginning choose which will run? or is that asking too much | 20:33 |
| mc__ | rocket16, well it has performance improvement over 2.6.32 which is included in lucy, but I'm not sure if they will be noticeable, if you compile it yourself on the other hand than you will very likely feel a performance boost | 20:33 |
| h00k | timposey: I saw something called MultiUSB, maybe check that out | 20:33 |
| Exavion | iLuVdirtypigs: If you sign in irc.debian.org, there is a #debian channel there that may be able to answer more direct questions. | 20:33 |
| Tuncas | Just a quick newbee question. With all this fuzz about 64bits OS'es, why does Ubuntu recommend 32bit still? | 20:33 |
| h00k | timposey: something to that effect | 20:33 |
| iLuVdirtypigs | thank u exa | 20:34 |
| mc__ | Tuncas, 64 bit still introduces some problems, some programs wont work out of the box with the 64bit version | 20:34 |
| Exavion | Tuncas: Many programs only have 32 bit builds, and there is still limited support for some proprietary applications, like Flash | 20:34 |
| timposey | h00k where did you see it? | 20:34 |
| guntbert | Tuncas: probably the fact that adobe flash player only exists as 32bit | 20:34 |
| insulina | glxinfo gives me a segfault, what can I do ? | 20:35 |
| Tuncas | hehe.. Thanks. That would sure upset some users. ;) | 20:35 |
| mc__ | guntbert, well im on 64bit and flash runs without problems | 20:35 |
| acerimmer | Tuncas: 64 bit is very use only if >4 gig of ram. Otherwise no measurable benefit to speak of | 20:35 |
| timposey | h00k I found something called multi boot usb | 20:35 |
| Exavion | Tuncas: running 64bit still lets you run 32 bit apps, but you they will have no benefit being in a 64 bit OS, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403064 | 20:35 |

| mc__ | for typical desktop usage there is no improvement though | 20:36 |

| jrib | oly562: a new version comes in from the repos with new dependencies, apt installs the new dependencies (your new kernel/header) | 21:02 |
| oly562 | jrib: ok | 21:03 |
| oly562 | jrib: ic, so I should check out the repo's then. or conf file for repos. | 21:03 |
| jrib | oly562: that doesn't really make sense | 21:04 |
| oly562 | jrib: is that in /etc/apt? | 21:04 |

| comutamike | oix: had it suspended? Are we looking at an issue with suspend? | 21:04 |

| water_foul | acerimmer: no I just want to hide one user | 21:11 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | jrib, ive done that a few hundred times. comes back saying it cant find the "main class" | 21:11 |
| oly562 | in redhat, in the up2date conf I remember you could manually put in kernel* such that, when you did an up2date it would not update the kernel. simple. so I ask the same for ubuntu. I understand your comments about the "mythical" file, however, I found a file that is similar to what I was asking for, thus it seems you are not in the know about how to do such configs. in ALL linux distro there is such capabilities. either you know, or y | 21:11 |
| jrib | T3CHKOMMIE: are you trying with sun's java? | 21:11 |
| oly562 | nothing personal. :) | 21:11 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | jrib, yes i installed sun-java6-JRE on ubuntu server. | 21:12 |
| acerimmer | water_foul: never seen it done. I would think it's an either/or. You gdm login either shows a user list or it does not. Ask around though. might also want to check gnome or lnux channels as the question isn' t ubuntu specific | 21:12 |
| jrib | oly562: you are contradicting yourself. You just told me you want new kernels because of my advice. Now you are saying you don't want them again. | 21:12 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | i can java -jar file.jar from my ubuntu desktop just fine... is there a special server version of JRE? | 21:12 |
| oly562 | the file im referring to now is, as I get closer to answering my question is: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude or something in there. ill check and let you know | 21:12 |
| oly562 | jrib: im through with you jrib, thanks, I will wait for another responder or figure it out myself | 21:13 |

However when the system boots my login screen is on the "right" screen and once loaded my desktop is on my "left" screen. would this be a bug in the Nvidia 195 driver? | 21:14 |

| usr13 | delac: I use audacious | 21:17 |
| oly562 | I hate it when distro's move things around like something as simple as trash and bury it lol | 21:17 |
| delac | usr13: do you also use the crossfading backend? | 21:17 |

| J_Dubyew | Hey guys I got Ubuntu recently, how do you do that 4 desktop thing? | 21:17 |
| J_Dubyew | I know how you do the cube | 21:17 |

| jrib | oly562: not a distro decision | 21:17 |
| oix | comutamike is not here ?? | 21:18 |
| thowe | usr13, I think it's ATI. They are currently getting by by running an old boot CD. A newer boot CD (10.04) also just goes black. | 21:18 |
| theoros_ | jrib: i just needed to setup a symlink and looking at file properties in nautilus wasn't helping | 21:18 |
| oly562 | who decides | 21:18 |

| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: Greetings...back, and with a plan. | 21:18 |
| oly562 | gnome? | 21:18 |
| J_Dubyew | Guys how do you have 4 desktops at once? | 21:18 |
| oly562 | J_Dubyew: compiz? | 21:18 |
| delac | usr13: i gues so. should be installed on default, I think | 21:18 |
| oly562 | J_Dubyew: define at once lol | 21:18 |
| Femaq | you mean cube ? | 21:18 |
| J_Dubyew | Yeah I have that, I am a semi comp noob xD | 21:18 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | J_Dubyew, what do you mean by "atonce?" | 21:19 |
| thowe | usr13, I plan to try to walk them through adding the vert and horiz options to their xorg.conf, but that isn't going to help them install 10.04 if the CD just gives them a blank screen. | 21:19 |
| J_Dubyew | Where you can have totally separate desktops at once? | 21:19 |
| Firefishe | I am going to do a fresh install of kubuntu lucid 10.04 LTS 64 bit. I need to choose a file system type, and would enjoy some advice on this issue. | 21:19 |

| T3CHKOMMIE | J_Dubyew, install compiz manager and enable the cube. | 21:19 |
| delac | usr13: well, if you could enable it and test, if the Audacious will hang after you pause and try to play another song | 21:19 |
| Femaq | ctrl + alt + (left or rigt) to switch between workspaces (desktops) | 21:20 |

| usr13 | thowe: Boot from HD, login and do: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 21:21 |
| oly562 | brontosaurusrex: a little buggy but works once you get the hang of it | 21:21 |
| thowe | usr13, They can't log in. They have no video | 21:22 |
| J_Dubyew | Back gonna have this on it's own desktop =D | 21:22 |
| thowe | No grub, no login. It goes black after post | 21:22 |
| hemant_ | at still prompts me for the password | 21:22 |
| usr13 | thowe: You say it boots to black screen? | 21:22 |
| === marc__ is now known as Guest75804 | ||
| jrib | hemant_: it prompts for your sudo password, not the user's | 21:23 |
| usr13 | thowe: You say it boots to black screen? Any words printed on the black screen? | 21:23 |
| hemant_ | jrib: nvm got it, I ran sudo su - <username> | 21:23 |
| hemant_ | jrib: that worked. | 21:23 |
| thowe | I think it is booting, based on what they are telling me. I can get them to boot with a 6.10 CD and then mount the filesystem. Booting with 10.04 CD also is just black. | 21:23 |
| jrib | hemant_: the only reason that didn't require a password is because your sudo password was cached from just using sudo... | 21:23 |
| oly562 | J_Dubyew: im still trying to figure out how to name each desktop, like company A, company B. such that it pops up in a nice little flashy graphic like old windowmaker did | 21:23 |
| oly562 | on suse | 21:23 |
| acerimmer | gabriel_: System>Preferences>Appearance>Theme>Customize>Pointer | 21:23 |
| jrib | hemant_: run "sudo -k" and try it again to check | 21:23 |
| thowe | usr13, SOmething about the monitor. I will need to get more details tonight. It takes a long time to walk my father through any shell commands :) | 21:24 |
| usr13 | thowe: I'm asking what happens when you boot from HD. | 21:24 |
| hemant_ | jrib: I know what you are saying, but it was not the sudo password that i was being prompted for | 21:24 |
| thowe | black. | 21:24 |
| J_Dubyew | Nice and yeah I am totally new to Ubuntu only got it today xD | 21:24 |
| thowe | after post. bbiab.... | 21:24 |
| usr13 | thowe: sudo Xorg -configure | 21:24 |
| jrib | hemant_: yes, it was the password for the user you executed sudo with | 21:24 |
| Guest75804 | apm | 21:24 |
| gabriel_ | acerimmer, did that and restartd, but it doesn't change, only when I open firefox and when I edit a line in open office. | 21:24 |
| hemant_ | jrib: no it was not :) | 21:25 |
| usr13 | thowe: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 21:25 |
| jrib | hemant_: unless you've modified your sudo somehow, it was | 21:25 |
| hemant_ | jrib: ok well it was, but after that it again prompted me for te users password. | 21:25 |
| Faissal | hi there, anyone knows how to activate fingerprint reader in 10.04 plz? | 21:25 |
| jrib | hemant_: yeah, run "sudo -k" and try your way is what I meant | 21:25 |
| acerimmer | gabriel_: try a different theme and see if you can customize pointers. If not, something weird is happening | 21:25 |
| oly562 | J_Dubyew: welcome them. your well on your way to taking back control of your computing experience | 21:26 |
| hemant_ | jrib: sudo -u <username> shows me sudo usage | 21:26 |
| paul__ | please, how to stay connected by using xchat-gnome (without being automaticaly disconnected, juste reading the irc) ? Thank's | 21:26 |
| gabriel_ | acerimmer, tried them all. even downloaded new ones. | 21:26 |
| chat96505 | any guys here age 29 up??? | 21:26 |
| jrib | hemant_: you need a command | 21:26 |
| acerimmer | gabriel_: do you have ubuntu tweak? | 21:27 |
| hemant_ | jrib: ok this is what i did "sudo -u <another_user> su" | 21:27 |
| wieshka | chat96505: what makes you think, that age is inportant ? | 21:27 |
| gabriel_ | acerimmer, no | 21:27 |
| hemant_ | jrib: then it prompts me for password of the current user, I enter that and then it prompts me for the password for <another_useR> | 21:27 |
| jrib | hemant_: no. put the command you actually wanted to execute as the other user. | 21:27 |
| hemant_ | jrib: Ok, so a terminal? | 21:28 |
| oly562 | question - is there a switch in apt-get to override the kernel from updating yet updates other programs instead? | 21:28 |
| jrib | hemant_: example: sudo -u USER echo hi | 21:28 |
| acerimmer | gabriel_: ok. there's a gdm lockdown in there. sorry don't know what else to suggest.. keep asking | 21:28 |
| gabriel_ | acerimmer, ok thanks m8. | 21:29 |
| oly562 | kinda like a filter? | 21:29 |
| paul__ | how to stay connected by using xchat-gnome ? I searched in menus, preference, but nothing related to that. Thks | 21:29 |
| oly562 | ic in synaptic man page there is a switch -f for filtering | 21:29 |
| oly562 | or point to a filter settings file | 21:29 |
| jrib | oly562: please keep your questions on one line | 21:29 |
| oly562 | oh please | 21:29 |
| hemant_ | jrib: nvm, i think that is painful, all i want to do is login as another user, just like ssh another_user@localhost, but didnt want to use ssh, coz its just localhost always, so wanted to use su, but su prompts for password, with ssh, i can getaway with using authorized_keys, so i am trying to find out a su equivalent. | 21:29 |

| djrwolf | I updated Ubuntu and part of it was an update to grub. When it came up in the installation I told it to keep the old one and left everything as it was. Then when I tried to reboot into Windows it gave an error message. So I went back into Ubuntu and reinstalled grub and now when I select Windows it just loops back to grub. | 21:30 |

| jungli | #backtrack-linux | 21:32 |
| jrib | T3CHKOMMIE: my guess would be a version issue. Are the same java versions used? If so, maybe ##java can understand the error and point you in the right direction | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | og01: did you do a aptitude update ? | 21:32 |

| wildbat | djanowski, try alternate cd | 22:29 |
| Xubuntu_newb15 | Sorry, I don't want to repeat my question, but does anyone have an answer for it? | 22:30 |
| wildbat | carlosgaldino, system -> perf. -> IBus | 22:30 |
| j2daosh | guntbert: sorry, I'm alittle cranky (as you can probably tell). been trying to get internet working on my laptop for 2 days, but everytime i come in here, either no one knows the answer or i get stuck helping everyone else out lol. | 22:30 |
| jd805 | can't stat() vfat file system output infor may be incomplete | 22:30 |
| Appl6 | guntbert: You misaddressed your !enter. jd805 was not abusing it. Perhaps you could apologize to him. Ironically, you added two additional lines to j2daosh's four caused by unnecessary <enter>s. | 22:30 |
| ubuntu | why i can't install keepassx on live cd? | 22:31 |
| djanowski | wildbat: i was trying to use netbook, but maybe netbook is something i can add later with apt? | 22:31 |
| j2daosh | jd805, you might want to try a restart and then removing. they seem to be locked and no way to unlock them (to my knowledge) | 22:31 |
| guntbert | j2daosh: :-), as an aside: you could ask your partner to use your nick when he talks to you - that way conversations are better distinguishable from first questions | 22:32 |

| carlosgaldino | wildbat: do you know if i can just use hangul with scim or the ibus should work too? | 22:33 |
| wildbat | djanowski, alternatively, you can try to debug the problem ~ by alt-ctl-f1-6 , with tty and get some log | 22:33 |

| wildbat | ubuntu, try fsck | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Black_Phantom: my googlefu and ask-ate is strowng | 23:03 |
| * FirstSgt scans blackTonny's services | 23:03 | |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, did you install all the updates of 9.10 before upgrading to 10.04 and then restarted ? | 23:03 |
| wad | voglster, the bios does the have the option to boot from LAN. | 23:03 |
| derdui | Hey gys, does anybody know, how to find out the User-Ip via ICQ? I would like to check it out, if on and the same person is kidding me with different accounts. | 23:03 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, or you just clicked upgrade and went on ? | 23:03 |
| * voglster laughs at FirstSgt | 23:03 | |
| Black_Phantom | ActionParsnip, lolz | 23:03 |

| ibqn | I can't login to the graphical environment, gnome fails to load after an update with a message "no system tray was found on your system, mouse does not work... | 23:04 |
| voglster | wad, then it probably can... you could pxe boot and install but its beyond my ability to show you how | 23:04 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, installed the updates of 9.10 ? | 23:04 |
| Black_Phantom | before upgrading ? | 23:04 |
| wad | voglster, I'll take a crack at it. Thanks! | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: does the screen ract like it would a hover over (mouse is there but not visible)? | 23:04 |
| Black_Phantom | Because upgrading more than 700 mb of packages is complicated. | 23:04 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: no ... i didn't install the updates of 9.04 before 9.04->9.10 either | 23:04 |
| Ari_Lazarus | Does anyone else sometimes get their CPU eaten up 100% to the point of freezing up when Update Manager runs on schedule? | 23:05 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: i thought the upgrade made it unnecessary | 23:05 |
| * FirstSgt loads up milw0rms autopwn with blackTonny's IP set as R_HOST and hopes for the best since his reverse engineering and remote network process identification has been lacking over the last 2 years. | 23:05 | |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, no, does not seems so | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: is it a laptop? | 23:05 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, yes, on my laptop | 23:06 |
| * voglster thinks FirstSgt likes being script kiddyish | 23:06 | |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, well it is necessary, if there is no reason why you seriously dont want to fresh install. I suggest you put on the live cd back up your data and clean install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is neater. | 23:06 |
| blackTonny | is able to here one in German? | 23:06 |
| FirstSgt | blackTonny: why are you logged in as root and connected to irc? | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: try the i8024.reset boot option in /etc/default/grub | 23:06 |
| ubuntu | anyone knows? | 23:06 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: i cannot clean install. period. what i want to know is how much will be broken if i restore the backup, the one that's missing /var. | 23:07 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, what is this all about? | 23:07 |
| guntbert | KnickLighter: 8.04 -> 10.04 ? | 23:07 |
| bwv544 | if someone use systemrescuecd to do backups, i need help ....... | 23:07 |
| KnickLighter | guntbert; yeah i have a VPS which is hosted @ Strato and they only provide 8.04 so far.. | 23:07 |
| voglster | bwv544, thats not a question.... | 23:07 |

| === bastidra1or is now known as bastid_raZor | ||
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, I dont think the folders will get affected. It will be just the packages that might be broken | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: you may ned a boot option to make the pad work, in my experience that one seems to work with most | 23:08 |
| Keell | voglster: thank you man! I am recording in my 1GB device. | 23:08 |
| darkkrai | I cant mount my usb peripherals, its saying not authorized | 23:08 |
| voglster | Keell, anytime ;-) | 23:08 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, I assume your backed up data is all safe, I think only the packages/softwares are now messed up. Yet it is only an assumption, am not sure. | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset" | 23:09 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: exactly - how broken? do most programs re-create their /var directories, or ... oh wait, an upgrade will be reinstalling all packages. awesome | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub | 23:09 |
| guntbert | KnickLighter: that is LTS -> LTS, you can do it directly, I *heard* that the automatic upgrade will be possible after the first "point" release of lucid, some time in june/july | 23:09 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, I do not really folow what to do with grub and how it can be related with gnome, because only the graphicla environmet fails to load | 23:09 |
| blackTonny | i dont no | 23:09 |
| KnickLighter | guntbert: I placed the 8.10 sources.list now and doing a apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: i thought you said there was only no mouse? | 23:09 |
| darkkrai | can anyone help me with my problem? I cant mount my usb peripherals, its saying not authorized | 23:09 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, i do not have a GUI at all, nothing loads | 23:10 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: i'm usually expert at this kind of stuff, but i typoed during the backup and missed /var. otherwise, i know exactly what to do (the freeze was caused by my using the system too much during the upgrade) | 23:10 |
| Appl6 | wad: What OSes are running on the other computers on your network? | 23:10 |
| ubuntu | do i need to suicide while ubuntu is not booting??? | 23:10 |
| bwv544 | the question is : i have to mount a nas linux embedded, to use it with partimage, | 23:10 |
| KnickLighter | guntbert; through do-release-upgrade it said no new release available, hence im doing the apt-get stuff | 23:10 |
| ubuntu | do i need to suicide while ubuntu is not booting??? | 23:10 |
| blendmaster1024 | ubuntu: what do you mean!? | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ibqn: gotcha, different solutio then. If you press ALT+F2 do you get the usual dialogue? | 23:10 |
| bwv544 | the problem is that ask for a passwd but the username shio | 23:10 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, how much is your swap space ? | 23:10 |
| bwv544 | should de diofferent, how to do ? | 23:10 |
| arand | ubuntu: no, (please ask a real question) | 23:10 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: a lot. like a really lot. | 23:10 |
| wad | Appl6, Well, I'm on an Ubuntu box now. The rest are Mac. | 23:10 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, not tried, wait... | 23:11 |
| voglster | ubuntu, burn a live CD and fsck the file systems | 23:11 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: probably about 15 gigs across three swap partitions. | 23:11 |
| arand | KnickLighter: Are you trying to do LTS->LTS? | 23:11 |
| guntbert | KnickLighter: yes, do-release-upgrade seems not to be enabled by now - seems sensible on production servers to iron some things out before | 23:11 |
| Appl6 | wad: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/11/how-to-configure-pxe-network-booting-on-ubuntu-for-network-based-installations/ | 23:11 |
| Keell | voglster: what's better? Debian or Ubuntu? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Keell: no linux distro is better than any other | 23:11 |
| arand | KnickLighter: Do you have "only LTS" set for upgrading policy? | 23:11 |
| Keell | voglster: I am a web programmer. | 23:11 |
| KnickLighter | arand; I'm not sure if its LTS - it is a standard ubuntu release that comes with the VPS whihc is provided by that hoster | 23:11 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: i'm currently on my other 9.10 system, that i installed exactly for rescue perposes. | 23:11 |
| gentooxer | ubuntu: try riplinux, if you killed your grub | 23:11 |
| voglster | Keell, depends on your needs, if you are new to linux ubuntu is your best bet | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Keell: each has advantages and disadvantages, there is also personal preference so there is never a best or better | 23:12 |
| wad | Appl6, thanks! | 23:12 |
| arand | KnickLighter: If it is Hardy 8.04 it *shold* be possible | 23:12 |
| voglster | ActionParsnip, i say have him install gentoo! ;-) | 23:12 |
| Keell | ActionParsnip: Ya, i understand. | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Keell: its the same as asking "What's the best coffee from starbucks?" | 23:12 |
| arand | KnickLighter: upgrading it to intrepid is likely not a very good idea... | 23:12 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, well actually, once I upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 | 23:13 |
| cesurasean | is there a way to do an ubuntu install via text? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | voglster: will learn a lot :) | 23:13 |
| KnickLighter | arand; If this upgradign is complete to 8.10 - I will try to do-release-upgrade | 23:13 |
| voglster | ActionParsnip, true enough... though such a time sink | 23:13 |
| KnickLighter | Ah it's done | 23:13 |
| KnickLighter | arand; it now found jaunty | 23:13 |
| voglster | cesurasean, yes use the alternate install cd | 23:13 |
| ejv | ok this is really annoying, what do I have to do to get MP3's to play in Banshee? | 23:13 |
| arand | KnickLighter: By that point, you will have to go through the whole set of releases... | 23:13 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: so ..... what are you saying? | 23:13 |
| ejv | this is usability fail | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | voglster: ive seen compiles for kernels on quad cores in a few minutes, as awesome!! | 23:13 |
| Keell | voglster: ok, im kinda new... not totally, 'cause i was used linux for like 2 months | 23:13 |
| unop | !mp3 | 23:14 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, everything went well and it took me 2 days. But I still felt that some packages/softwares were messed up. Thats why i wouldnt recommend jumping up to more than 1 version | 23:14 |
| Keell | ActionParsnip: :D i see | 23:14 |

| arand | KnickLighter: jaunty-karmic-lucid | 23:14 |
| Appl6 | wad: If you don't have any luck with that, you can try downloading the Ubuntu ISO to your debian box, creating a new partition, unpacking the ISO on that new partition "in a specific way", and you can get GRUB to boot from the new partition like it boots from a live CD. I have successfully done this before (because I'm a CD miser). | 23:14 |
| ejv | what good is a modern OS if mp3 playback doesn't work out-of-the-box | 23:14 |
| * ejv sighs | 23:14 | |

| voglster | ActionParsnip, hmmmm... im running a quadcore... | 23:14 |
| darkkrai | when I plug in my flash drive, it pops up saying I cant mount it because im not allowed to | 23:14 |
| cesurasean | voglster, where do i find the alternate install cd? | 23:14 |
| wad | Appl6, okay, excellent! | 23:14 |
| darkkrai | it says not authorized | 23:14 |

| ActionParsnip | voglster: check your build flags dude | 23:15 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: to upgrade, and to not deal with a clean install because i have so many packages i have installed that i don't want to deal with. | 23:15 |
| ibqn | ActionParsnip, seems, there is no way, there is only a gnomes desktop background image is all I can see | 23:15 |
| KnickLighter | arand; won't be a problem, although at this point now it's stuck at 0% [Working] | 23:15 |

| ActionParsnip | ibqn: ok then i'd log in as a different user, see if thats the same | 23:15 |
| serapath | hi | 23:15 |
| serapath | i have a question regarding bind | 23:15 |
| blendmaster1024 | darkkrai: ok, you're not set to be allowed to. open a terminal, type 'groups', and hit enter; tell me if plugdev shows up | 23:15 |
| unop | ejv, mp3s aren't free formats - there are legal issues with including code supporting mp3 - you can always work around it yourself tho - as for !mp3 | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: the codecs aren't included due to laws around the globe | 23:16 |
| wad | Appl6, I think I want to go with that route, unpacking the ISO into a partition on the disk. It would be Very Bad if I confused the network here where I work. | 23:16 |
| voglster | ActionParsnip, im soo think about installing it on my ssd on this machine jsut for the heck of it | 23:16 |
| darkkrai | blendmaster1024, it does | 23:16 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, if you seriously like seriously dont want to fresh install, try the recovery console. You can use aptoncd btw | 23:16 |
| voglster | serapath, just ask the question | 23:16 |
| Black_Phantom | to fix the broken packages | 23:16 |
| sixofour | when ever i run a program in fullscreen on my laptop the bottom is clipped, my laptop is widescreen, anything in fullscreen is rendered in normal, thus chopping off the bottom | 23:16 |
| serapath | i try to make nslookup to resolve alphatest.com to my local linux computer but it doesnt work | 23:16 |
| wad | Appl6, what's something I could google on, to see some instructions on the "special way" of unpacking the partition, etc? | 23:16 |

| blendmaster1024 | darkkrai: then i'm stumped. ask again in a few minutes, maybe you'll get someone else. | 23:17 |
| unop | serapath, you don't need bind for that, just add an entry in /etc/hosts | 23:17 |

| KnickLighter | ActionParsnip; Yeah but I'm upgrading from 8.04, lol | 23:20 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, you saw it ? | 23:20 |
| blendmaster1024 | Black_Phantom: oh, i see. i'd still prefer to avoid dumping the /etc configs and such ... i'll just back up the semi-broekn system to my massive storage partition and then restore the backup. if things go wrong, i have a different backup to restore to. and i'll check twice this time... | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: thats why there is a codec official page, like I said it cannot be included due to international law differences | 23:20 |
| unop | ejv, they've already made is simple - install one package, that's it. | 23:21 |
| serapath | unop for example, i wasnt sure what to write in the place where the tutorial says xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ... i think it wants IP´s, but not sure which ones, so i gave it the local LAN ip of my ubuntu computer | 23:21 |
| ejv | works! | 23:21 |
| ejv | thx unop / ActionParsnip | 23:21 |
| Black_Phantom | blendmaster1024, well I think this solution will be best. Because this problem can get you really lost if you wanna fix it perfectly, there is no chance but to take risks :/ | 23:22 |
| Appl6 | wad: It appears that this is the place to go: http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html ... Note that the document assumes you are starting with Windows, so it suggests things like loadlin or GRUB for NT. | 23:22 |

| Appl6 | wad: But because you already have Debian, you already have GRUB, so you should look at the "GRUB for NT" section, and copy the configuration to your current GRUB. You can avoid installing any of those programs. | 23:22 |

| Appl6 | Azh: Ah. You have to do md5sum on the file you downloaded. You have to go to the computer you used to download the ISO file (that you used to burn the CD), and then do the md5sum there. It should be something like: "md5sum xubuntu.iso". | 23:39 |
