| pepee | rm pulseaudio | 00:00 |
| synapse | it works now | 00:00 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: you can make an LiveUSB, boot, install clamAV and scan.. google for liveUSB as i never make one.. | 00:00 |
| HaPK | sec-r1z, does ubuntu recognizes the drive? check your disks utility | 00:00 |
| learner7 | I used to know a command to check what video driver is running, what was it? | 00:00 |
| Seaphor | gotta love pulse... thats why i use OSS on my game-box for full surround sound | 00:00 |
| doxdrum | Hi people! Somehow I've lost my upper panel icon, I believed that it was the absence of a notification area... but even when I add one, the icon are still missing. What could the problem be? | 00:01 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | bastid_raZor, copy and paste. better restart and see if it worked, very thanks | 00:01 |
| SlidingHorn | !usb | SuperLag | 00:01 |

| ubottu | doxdrum: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:01 |
| bastid_raZor | rafaelsoaresbr: sudo mount -a will do the same as restarting.. | 00:01 |
| sec-r1z | HaPK: yes but it can't read blank DVDs | 00:01 |
| synapse | is there a log of the updates that got installed somewhere from update-manager? | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: yes you can do a virus scan on a Windows partition | 00:02 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: make it persistent so all things you installed will remains.. | 00:02 |
| Scunizi | How do I start samba as a service.. I'm getting tired of manually starting it.. and it's inconvenient | 00:02 |
| HaPK | sec-r1z, strange... I can't help you there, sorry... | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: however if you got a virus, you should really clean install the OS, to make sure the virus is gone, and that nothing malicious is happening with your computer | 00:02 |
| sec-r1z | HaPK: never mind | 00:02 |
| SlidingHorn | synapse, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1004326.html | 00:02 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | bastid_raZor, be back in few minutes, thanks | 00:03 |
| hotfloppy | doxdrum: happened to me before, but when i check all the things, i figure out that there's no space left .. lol :P | 00:03 |
| HaPK | can someone help me with mounting a cd with exec permissions? I tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it didn't work... | 00:03 |
| learner7 | How do I find what video driver is in use right now? | 00:03 |
| SlidingHorn | HaPK, why didn't it work (what was the error?) | 00:03 |
| gluxon | Hi, both ubuntu server iso files (amd64, i386) don't work on my computer's CPU (i686 | 00:04 |
| SlidingHorn | !details | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:04 |
| gluxon | Could anyone link me to a Ubuntu Server 10.04 i686 ISO? | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: uhmm SuperLag doesn't need to make a USB, they can install anti virus to the Live CD, and even delete files from the WIndows partition like that | 00:04 |
| doxdrum | Thx ubottu!!! You rule! | 00:04 |
| HaPK | SlidingHorn, it said it coudn't find /dev/sr1 en /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab | 00:04 |
| SlidingHorn | sebsebseb, oh, my bad...read the msg wrong | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | !thanks | doxdrum | 00:05 |
| ubottu | doxdrum: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 00:05 |
| hotfloppy | sebsebseb: but those AV will be wiped when he shutdown.. | 00:05 |
| gluxon | Hello? | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hotfloppy: yes | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hotfloppy: however whatever changed on the hard disk, whilst using the Live CD, will still be changed | 00:05 |
| amokpaule | Can someone please tell me how i get my dvd working again? | 00:05 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | bastid_raZor, worked, thanks | 00:05 |
| scorp_ | hi guys im having trouble installing the new wow patch | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | amokpaule: libdvdcss2/3 | 00:06 |
| rodd | hi, quadrapassel no longer works after the last update | 00:06 |
| bastid_raZor | rafaelsoaresbr: glad to help. | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | !medibuntu | amokpaule | 00:06 |

| MACscr | anyone recommend a screen capture app that does video and images? I would prefer that videos were flash or at least web friendly | 00:06 |
| SuperLag | sebsebseb: that's what I've done... but I'm trying to mount the XP partition with ntfs-3g, and it's not working | 00:06 |
| rodd | is it only happening with me; | 00:06 |
| rodd | ? | 00:06 |
| hotfloppy | sebsebseb: i think SuperLag want to use his LiveCD as a AV tools.. not just once.. | 00:06 |
| amokpaule | its not in the fstab and i cant mount it | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: Windows needs to be shut down properly | 00:06 |
| x1karr0usx | hey, is there a fix for the "outline around panel icons" bug? ive seen it since i first got ubuntu 5 years ago and i am seeing it on this release too......... what the quick and easy for this? | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: otherwise yes you can't just mount the partition, however there is a way to force mont, but I don't know the details | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: what virus is on there? what happended to the install? you should probably just clean install the OS really | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: as I already put | 00:07 |
| SuperLag | sebsebseb: How can you be booted up into the LiveCD if Windows isn't shut down? | 00:07 |
| SuperLag | I don't know what virus is on there | 00:07 |
| synapse | thanks for the help, but someone should report a bug about the update-manager blowing away your settings in pulseaduio | 00:07 |
| FoolsRun | Hi, I just installed an nVidia geforce 6200 and my performance is extremely bad in 3D. Worse than the Geforce MX420 I replaced. Proprietary drivers are enabled. Can anyone give me ideas on what to try? | 00:07 |
| synapse | I'm not gonna | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: boot the Live CD, and you should be able to access the WIndows partition from it no problem, as long as Windows was shut down | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: properly | 00:07 |
| HaPK | SlidingHorn, it said it coudn't find /dev/sr1 en /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab | 00:08 |
| hotfloppy | sebsebseb: is hibernating considered not properly shutdown also ? because i can mount it even its on hibernate mode.. | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: What do you want Windows for anyway? Maybe you don't need it at all, or a virtual machine of Windows inside Ubuntu, will be good enough. | 00:08 |
| SuperLag | that question is useless | 00:08 |
| scorp_ | is anybody else having trouble with the new wow patch????? | 00:08 |
| SlidingHorn | HaPK, I don't know how to fix the problem. I asked because your original question didn't have any necessary details to troubleshoot it | 00:08 |
| SuperLag | sebsebseb: it's a friend's machine, and they asked me to help them | 00:09 |
| SuperLag | and the other tools I've tried have not worked | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: thats also really the most secure way to do Windows, when its Internet connected, that way if you get a virus, just delete the vm do a new one, or use a clean copy easilly, like a normal file. | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: ^ | 00:09 |

| scorp_ | it downloaded but wont install due to an error | 00:10 |
| jcapinc | does anyone know how to get kubuntu to use static IP address? | 00:10 |
| SuperLag | sebsebseb: you're repeating yourself. *I* know that already. I'm trying to help a friend, and running into a wall. Telling him, who isn't savvy enough to set up or run VMs, to run them... isn't an option. | 00:10 |
| amokpaule | The dvd rom was there working after a reboot its gone and when i try to mount it it says can't find /dev/sr0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 00:11 |
| SuperLag | sebsebseb: he's a Windows user. Period. | 00:11 |
| DrPoO | lol | 00:11 |

| PoisonSerpent | Is there still graphics corruption on an ATI Radeon x1270 in Ubuntu 10.04? | 00:11 |
| jkalex05 | i used convertx2dvd to burn my movies in windows how can i do it in ubuntu | 00:11 |
| x1karr0usx | anyone know a fix for the stupid red outlines on the gnome panel? | 00:11 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: devede | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: people don't tend to want to clean install their OS's, but thats what should be done really, once its infected. You can get hold of the data on the Live CD and then :) or maybe something useful is on the Ultimate Boot CD for example. well there are loads of these Live CD tool CD's out there. | 00:11 |
| jkalex05 | thank you bastid_razor | 00:12 |
| learner7 | scorp_, are you running Launcher.exe or Wow.exe? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | SuperLag: anyway its Windows, so maybe you should ask ##windows for help really, find out what they will suggest | 00:12 |
| scorp_ | i tried both but wen i run wow.exe it just tells me that i need to update | 00:13 |
| learner7 | scorp_, what version of wine are you using? | 00:13 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: why cant you mount the windows partition ? is there any error ? | 00:13 |
| scorp_ | good question let me find out | 00:13 |
| DrPoO | jkalex05, do you want to rip dvds? | 00:13 |
| jamesw | hi all | 00:14 |
| jkalex05 | no i want to burn em | 00:14 |
| scorp_ | version 1.1.42 | 00:14 |
| SuperLag | hotfloppy: it says the partition doesn't exist... but fdisk -l /dev/sda shows it | 00:14 |
| SuperLag | hotfloppy: and I can boot to it | 00:14 |
| jamesw | how can i re-run a configuration dialog that appeared on apt-get install? | 00:14 |
| learner7 | scorp_, you may want to update -- we're up to 1.2 rc4 by now.\ | 00:14 |
| DrPoO | jkalex05, have you tried k3b? | 00:14 |
| scorp_ | how do i update and will that effect my installed programs on wine | 00:14 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: have you try, for example, /dev/sda1 ? | 00:14 |
| jkalex05 | they said to try devede | 00:14 |
| MindVirus | Hi. When I play music through Rhythmbox, it crackles and freezes. Any advice? | 00:15 |
| magellan | slidinghorn: multiple workspace commanline reply with some msgs i think it doesn't accomplish what used to be | 00:15 |
| SlidingHorn | jamesw, sudo dpkg --reconfigure packagename | 00:15 |
| SuperLag | hotfloppy: I did. It was actually /dev/sda2, in this case. | 00:15 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| magellan | slidinghorn: this is the reply Value type is only relevant when setting a value | 00:15 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: devede will convert avi/mpg/any video format to an iso for burning .. then use brasero or any burning software | 00:15 |
| learner7 | scorp_, it should retain current wine configs. I open Synaptic, click "refresh" "mark all updates" and "apply" in order. | 00:15 |
| magellan | slidinghorn: this is the reply "Value type is only relevant when setting a value" | 00:15 |
| jkalex05 | ok | 00:16 |
| jamesw | thank you SlidingHorn | 00:16 |
| mgiffels | It's been awhile since I've used linux in general. A year or more I think. Does anyone know if Wine/game compatibility has been improved? How about running in 64bit? Is support for that improved? | 00:16 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, did you try the method without the command line? (they talked about it a couple replies before the command line link | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | MindVirus: A pulseaudio issue probably | 00:16 |
| SlidingHorn | mgiffels, in what sense? either way, probably a better question for #winehq | 00:16 |
| learner7 | scorp_, it may not get you in game: all US servers are down. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/ | 00:16 |
| mgiffels | Not realy wine specific questions though | 00:16 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: i prefer k3b.. the only minor downside is it requires about 200MB of kde libraries. in my case drive space is not an issue. | 00:16 |
| SlidingHorn | mgiffels, well it's not ubuntu specific either. | 00:17 |
| mgiffels | I'm wondering how well things will run in 64bit really | 00:17 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: k3b will burn the iso to disc | 00:17 |
| mgiffels | I know back in the day there were lots of issues with 64 | 00:17 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: weird.. maybe it was in fat32 format ? | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | mgiffels: 64bit Ubuntu works well as good as or about as good as the 32bit | 00:17 |
| learner7 | mgiffels -- for wine, see winehq.org and there is no 64 bit wine that has reached alpha, as far as I know. | 00:17 |
| jkalex05 | its ok im running on a TB hd | 00:17 |
| mgiffels | I can still run 32bit Wine in 64bit Ubuntu though right? | 00:17 |
| scorp_ | would that effect updating?? | 00:17 |
| DrPoO | mgiffels, yes you can | 00:18 |
| learner7 | scorp_, that should update everything on your system that can update. | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | mgiffels: you can run 32bit apps, in the 64bit Wine | 00:18 |
| giggazilla | Anyone seen issues when upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 with dmraid? | 00:18 |
| mgiffels | I thought there wasn't a 64bit wine | 00:18 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: then k3b would be a wise choice for burning software. | 00:18 |
| hotfloppy | SuperLag: sory for my bad grammar :P | 00:18 |
| jamesw | SlidingHorn dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure, and --configure says it is already installed and configured | 00:18 |
| learner7 | mgiffels, you can use 32 bit wine w/ 64 bit kernels. But there is no 64 bit wine. | 00:18 |
| mgiffels | Gotcha | 00:18 |
| scorp_ | learner7, synaptic or update manager | 00:18 |
| mgiffels | Now how about SLI? That work ok? | 00:19 |
| SlidingHorn | jamesw, i'm sorry, it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 00:19 |
| learner7 | scorp_, it's up to you. I use synaptic b/c I like the finer level of control it offers. | 00:19 |
| bastid_raZor | jkalex05: the difference in Ubuntu is.. you would need to convert a non-DVD ready format to something that is compatible with any player. which is what devede will do. then burning that converted file to disc with k3b | 00:19 |
| scorp_ | i used that but i cant find the update you are talking about | 00:19 |
| scorp_ | do i need to configure synaptic to show me rc updates | 00:20 |
| jkalex05 | ya i figured that much out so far | 00:20 |
| mgiffels | I have two nvidia cards in SLI. Just want to make sure they will run ok in Ubuntu | 00:20 |
| jkalex05 | im converting with devede right now | 00:20 |
| learner7 | scorp_, have you set up the wine ppa for ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| scorp_ | learner7, ppa??? | 00:20 |
| DrPoO | mgiffels, i have set up two gtx 260's with sli on the nvidia driver... | 00:20 |

| Laurenceb | hi, I have issues with wifi on my acer aspire 5101 | 00:21 |
| HaPK | how do I mount a cd with exec permissions? i tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it said that /dev/sr1 coudn't be found on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 00:21 |
| Laurenceb | it keeps disconnecting | 00:21 |
| magellan | yup but i dont get the add panel it is in gray and you cannot select it | 00:21 |
| Laurenceb | the signal is ~100%, but I can only ever connect for a second or two | 00:21 |
| DrPoO | mgiffels, depends what you want to do... I have not tried them out with CUDA. | 00:22 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, hrrm...wish I was running netbook -- maybe I'd be of more assistance :-\ | 00:22 |

| === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix | ||
| mgiffels | Why does the download area say that 64bit is not recommended for daily desktop use? =( | 00:22 |

| Laurenceb | soreau: no | 00:22 |
| magellan | slidinghorn: it seems odd it because i must press the right click several times as if im playing so that the other menu which theres a add panel but u cannot select it | 00:22 |

| jamesw | thank you SlidingHorn, any way to get the pretty x-based dialog? | 00:22 |
| jamesw | or does it not really matter? | 00:22 |
| SlidingHorn | mgiffels, it's not as highly developed as the 32-bit, as there aren't as many people using it/working on it -- from what I hear it's a bit buggy, but it does work | 00:22 |
| SlidingHorn | jamesw, not that I know of | 00:23 |
| jamesw | ty | 00:23 |
| mgiffels | DrPoO: I want them to run games and what not. I remember having performance issues with games in the past. I'm hoping that this new setup that I have will alleviate that. | 00:23 |
| mgiffels | \ | 00:23 |
| magellan | can i ask what a program use like snagit on windows so that i can take screenshot on live..like when you right click it | 00:23 |
| magellan | print screen dont capture right click | 00:23 |
| giggazilla | What can I do to revert to the version of dmraid available before upgrading to 10.04. I believe it was 1.0.0.rc15 | 00:23 |
| learner7 | mgiffels, you would only need 64-bit wine to run 64-bit windows apps. How many of those do you have? | 00:23 |
| HaPK | how do I mount a cd with exec permissions? i tried sudo mount -o exec /dev/sr1 but it said that /dev/sr1 coudn't be found on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 00:24 |
| DrPoO | mgiffels, what game are you going to run on ubuntu that requires an SLI setup? | 00:24 |
| DrPoO | i want to play it :p | 00:24 |
| soreau | magellan: You can set a delayed screenshot (with gimp or 'gnome-screenshot -d 5'), then right click and wait for it to snap | 00:24 |
| mgiffels | learner7: Not any that I know of. I was just going to ask if 64bit was even worth running | 00:24 |
| amokpaule | So nobody can tell me how i can get my dvd back to work? | 00:24 |
| mgiffels | DrPoO: No game requires it. But its nice to do =) | 00:24 |
| learner7 | mgiffels, in that case I'd say no. | 00:24 |
| scorp_ | learner7, omg this is confusing, so do i need git, and this is just very complicated im a linux noob | 00:25 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, not sure if it has the function you're looking for, but you can try shutter: sudo apt-get install shutter | 00:25 |
| mgiffels | I just remember games in the past running under Wine some times had poor performance. With 2 GTX 480s I'd hope I won't have any problems. | 00:25 |
| rls | exit | 00:25 |
| mgiffels | Just want to make sure that SLI is properly supported before I take the plunge. | 00:25 |
| ivo_ | try this game out | 00:26 |

| SlidingHorn | mgiffels, you can always try dual-booting first to see if it works the way you want it to | 00:26 |
| DrPoO | mgiffels, if you want to make your life easy, install xp or some other windoze on a separate partition and problem is solved | 00:26 |
| learner7 | scorp_, if you're in 9.10 or 10.04, it's like 2 or 3 terminal instructions. | 00:26 |

| mgiffels | hah! | 00:34 |
| scorp_ | i wish i could take a screen shot | 00:34 |
| learner7 | scorp_, ok. search synaptic for wine, see what version is available. | 00:35 |

| SlidingHorn | magellan, is it the same all across the panel? looks like you're pretty close to the xchat icon, which would explain why you cant select "add to panel" | 00:35 |
| magellan | slidinghorn:yup i already try it anywhre | 00:36 |

| SlidingHorn | !ask | 00:37 |
| 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. :-) | 00:37 |
| scorp_ | your welcome you are the only one who has helped me with wow in the last month | 00:38 |
| magellan | but it is very unusual thougt i try several times of ubuntu.multiple workspace is n default in the panel | 00:38 |
| Runar | Is it normal that Ubuntu stops working if you have a dualboot with Windows(or anything else) and you don't use Ubuntu for a while? | 00:38 |
| scorp_ | learner7, do you have a sn for like aim or msn or something | 00:39 |
| learner7 | scorp_, not that I pass out. | 00:39 |

| Runar | Directly as in without the dual boot-thingy? | 00:39 |
| scorp_ | do i have to log out to get wine to recognize the update | 00:40 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, one last shot from me: gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 4 --type int (replace the "4" with however many spaces you want) | 00:40 |
| learner7 | scorp_, I do post an email on the blog, pretty near the top on the right. Use that. And you don't have to log out. | 00:40 |
| arand | Runar: Yes (in that case grub has gone missing) | 00:40 |
| Runar | arand, no, I get into grub | 00:40 |
| scorp_ | when i go to the about tab on wine it still says the old version | 00:40 |
| SlidingHorn | Runar, what happens when you *try* to boot ubuntu? | 00:40 |

| Guest54403 | An issue tracking system (also trouble ticket system, support ticket or incident ticket system) is a computer software package that manages and maintains lists of issues, as needed by an organization. Issue tracking systems are commonly used in an organization's customer support call center to create, update, and resolve reported customer issues, or even issues reported by that organization's other employees. An issue tracking system often also contains | 01:13 |
| Guest54403 | a knowledge base containing information on each customer, resolutions to common problems, and other such data. An issue tracking system is similar to a "bugtracker", and often, a software company will sell both, and some bugtrackers are capable of being used as an issue tracking system, and vice versa. | 01:13 |

| Daekdroom | ubutom, what if he doesn't? | 01:21 |
| Cyrusthebeast | ^ | 01:21 |
| Runar | erikd, sorry for that highlight, I accidentally tab'd :( | 01:21 |
| Daekdroom | ubutom, i.e. forgot or it can't seem to work | 01:21 |
| MTecknology | Daekdroom: multi-part rar archives with passwords where a person doesn't know that password are going to be illegally obtained >99% of the time | 01:21 |
| Random832 | ubutom: who says it's automatically illegal for anyone other than the owner to open the contents | 01:21 |
| Cyrusthebeast | This one isn't a multi-part | 01:22 |
| Cyrusthebeast | The other one was | 01:22 |
| ubutom | Daekdroom, that'S another story, but in 99% of the cases it means he wants to unrar stuff he doesn't own | 01:22 |
| Random832 | what if the person who made the file is dead and he inherited it? | 01:22 |
| ubutom | Random832, yeah, very likely | 01:22 |
| Cyrusthebeast | This one is just my friend being a dick | 01:22 |
| Cyrusthebeast | he put all my porn in a .rar file and passworded it | 01:22 |
| Cyrusthebeast | :[ | 01:22 |
| MTecknology | Cyrusthebeast: please stop this conversation now | 01:23 |
| Cyrusthebeast | -.- | 01:23 |
| Random832 | ubutom: or what if he is the legal guardian of the person who made the file | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: installing a trouble ticket? you'd usually just write it down, and it becomes your 'inquiry' reference number for the helpdesk that issued it, not sure on installing it | 01:23 |
| Cyrusthebeast | I was just informing you of the situation | 01:23 |
| Random832 | or, right, what if someone put his files in a rar and passworded it without his approval | 01:23 |
| Cyrusthebeast | ^ | 01:23 |
| Cyrusthebeast | Which happened. | 01:23 |
| Cyrusthebeast | This is truth. | 01:23 |
| ubutom | Random832, so what, is a legal guardian per default the owner of files that aren't his? | 01:23 |
| Daekdroom | ubutom, what if we are talking about underages? | 01:24 |
| Cyrusthebeast | I'm 19 | 01:24 |
| wizard_2010 | anyone having problems with boxee on ubuntu 10.4 | 01:24 |
| Daekdroom | Cyrusthebeast, not the point | 01:24 |
| glaucous | I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and for some reason it can't recognize my four cores (AMD Phenom 2 x4 940), only two cores. Four cores works in Windows and worked in 9.10. | 01:24 |
| vaul | MTecknology: Do you actually know that nothing is illegal until proven otherwise in court? | 01:24 |
| wizard_2010 | I installed it find wont launch or open up | 01:24 |
| Guest54403 | Typos_King: yup that's it but im having a hard time what open source trouble ticket will i use and how to install it here in ubuntu | 01:24 |
| Typos_King | eehehe | 01:24 |
| Random832 | Cyrusthebeast: your porn is probably in violation of copyright law anyway, I was just making an argument of general principles :P | 01:24 |
| wizard_2010 | how can I open things from terminal | 01:24 |
| Cyrusthebeast | It's not! | 01:24 |
| MTecknology | vaul: that is 1) offtopic and 2) irrelivant and 3) only in some countries | 01:24 |
| nerdy_kid | i thought this was a family friendly channel. | 01:24 |
| ubutom | Daekdroom, what does age matter? If a nine year old makes a rar with a picture he drew for a girl it's his file and not the parents | 01:24 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: sounds more like you're confused, can you gives us the url of the page that gave you those instructions? | 01:25 |
| Cyrusthebeast | I got them from valid sites that I pay for and don't want to spend a shit-ton of bandwidth downloading again | 01:25 |
| whompapotamus | does anyone know of a good linux utility that i can add to a ubuntu boot cd that will allow me to undelete files from a drive formatted ntfs? | 01:25 |
| Random832 | Cyrusthebeast: so, you paid for it (including the right to download for offline use), or made it yourself? | 01:25 |
| Daekdroom | Oh well. We better cease discussing this or move to offtopic channel.. | 01:25 |
| Random832 | ubutom: well _someone's_ not a parent | 01:25 |
| Cyrusthebeast | Yes, I paid | 01:25 |
| SlidingHorn | !undelete | whompapotamus | 01:25 |
| ubottu | whompapotamus: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 01:25 |
| Cyrusthebeast | I would give the site name but apparently you guys don't like that :[ | 01:25 |
| ubutom | Random832, sure don't wanna be your kid then | 01:25 |
| vaul | Cyrusthebeast: There are software which would allow you to bruteforce .rar archive, but this wouldn't get you anywhere. | 01:25 |
| maco | Daekdroom: if it was possible to bypass a password, what the heck would the point of having a password be? | 01:25 |
| wizard_2010 | anyone having problems with boxee on ubuntu 10.4 | 01:25 |
| Killaklown | hi guys.... i was wondering ... in ubuntu is there versioning in the repositories? | 01:25 |
| Random832 | ubutom: you can't think of any legitimate need for a parent to be aware of the files their children are handling? | 01:25 |
| Cyrusthebeast | Why, vaul? | 01:26 |
| wizard_2010 | I installed it find wont launch or open up | 01:26 |
| vaul | Cyrusthebeast: It's just simplier to download new porn, trust me. :-D | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | whompapotamus: why not run a live-win32 with undelete utilities? http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ | 01:26 |
| Daekdroom | maco, making it harder to actually get access? | 01:26 |
| Random832 | what if it's - well, to bring us back to this example, what if it's porn | 01:26 |

| maco | Daekdroom: its supposed to make it *impossible* | 01:26 |
| Daekdroom | maco, it never does | 01:26 |
| MTecknology | maco: isn't talking about cracking a password and porn offtopic for ubuntu channels? | 01:26 |
| maco | yo! folks! stop talking about porn! not child-friendly! | 01:26 |
| Killaklown | can i install different versions of an app from the ubuntu repos? | 01:26 |
| Random832 | or a drawing they made that shows disturbing psychological things that they need to get help with | 01:26 |
| Cyrusthebeast | And the site has many new videos and I'd never be able to find them all :P | 01:26 |
| Okitain | It is impossible to read this so fast | 01:26 |
| ubutom | Random832, even children have rights and you don't protect them by digging your nose in everything they do | 01:26 |
| vaul | Cyrusthebeast: Stop it already. | 01:26 |
| maco | MTecknology: yes, cracking and porn are both off-topic here | 01:26 |
| ubutom | Random832, there is a thing called trust | 01:26 |
| vaul | Cyrusthebeast: There is no way to effectively do this. | 01:26 |
| Cyrusthebeast | porn is an acronym for puppies on raids nachos | 01:27 |
| Killaklown | vaul: can you help me | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | Daekdroom: either way, I'd help if I can establish such scenario, sadly, over irc we can't reliable establish it, so all we have is your 'claim' that it's so | 01:27 |
| Random832 | ubutom: there is also something called internet pseudo-libertarianism | 01:27 |
| MTecknology | maco: why is it just ignored? | 01:27 |
| Daekdroom | Typos_King, well, indeed... =/ | 01:27 |
| vaul | Killaklown: I can try, what is it? | 01:27 |
| Random832 | whatever, i'm done | 01:27 |
| Killaklown | can i install different versions of an app from the ubuntu repos or would i have to install from source | 01:27 |
| whompapotamus | Typos_King: i will check that out... i wanted to see if there was a command line utility that would do it - but it seems there are more utilities for windows than linux for that task | 01:27 |
| Random832 | ubutom: my point stands that whatever you may think of it, it's not ILLEGAL | 01:27 |
| ubutom | Random832, if anyone would monitor you as you are or will be monitoring your children, what would that be to you, illegal? | 01:27 |
| maco | MTecknology: i just said "stop talking about porn"! thus, not ignored :) and nobody's helping Daekdroom because they all know its not a question they're permitted to answer so... Daekdroom just gets to be frustrated | 01:27 |
| Guest54403 | Typos_King: here's the link http://otrs.org/ | 01:27 |
| Random832 | for a parent to access their childrens' files, password-protected or not | 01:28 |
| vaul | Killaklown: It is done easily via package manager. | 01:28 |
| Daekdroom | maco, what? I didn't even ask about that | 01:28 |
| Killaklown | vaul: yes but say... there is irssi 1.2.4 and i want irssi 1.2.7 how do i get this? | 01:28 |
| ubutom | Random832, I did not say it was illegal, but I said they don't automatically become the owner! | 01:28 |
| maco | Daekdroom: you asked about cracking | 01:28 |
| Daekdroom | maco, I was just talking about presuming cracking is illegal. | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | whompapotamus: well, given the fact that ntfs will be a Windows filesystem type, I'd expect that to be the case | 01:28 |
| Daekdroom | maco, I didn't ask | 01:28 |
| maco | Random832, ubutom: can you take the parents-vs-children argument to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:28 |
| Random832 | ubutom: yes you did, since i didn't say they _were_ the owner | 01:28 |
| Cyrusthebeast | cracking is not always illegal. | 01:28 |
| maco | it wouldnt be called cracking if it wasnt :P | 01:28 |
| kyngd0m | dammit | 01:29 |
| MTecknology | Cyrusthebeast: it's not acceptable in this channel | 01:29 |
| Killaklown | vaul: sorry bitlbee 1.2.4 and i want version 1.2.7 | 01:29 |
| maco | the cr is "criminal" | 01:29 |
| vaul | Killaklown: There, you can change… Wait, I'll get you a screenshot. | 01:29 |
| ubutom | Random832, no, I didn't, but suit yourself. | 01:29 |
| Killaklown | ok | 01:29 |
| kyngd0m | every time i see a # and words after it i must join | 01:29 |
| Cyrusthebeast | Bleh, I'm just saying that it's not always illegal :P Not asking anymore about it ^^ | 01:29 |
| Random832 | my argument was the overarching point of someone who is _not_ the owner but for whom it is nonetheless _not illegal_ for them to access the files - everything i said, and everything replied TO me [i.e. what you said] - is to be understood in that context | 01:29 |
| MTecknology | tell Cyrusthebeast about ot | 01:29 |
| MTecknology | ubutom: tell Cyrusthebeast about ot | 01:29 |
| vaul | Cyrusthebeast: It is not illegal at all, it is just offtopic and annoying as hell. | 01:29 |
| Cyrusthebeast | !google ot | 01:29 |
| Random832 | so, yes, you did argue that it is illegal. | 01:29 |
| maco | !offtopic | 01:29 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:29 |
| Cyrusthebeast | vaul, I haven't asked about it in a while | 01:29 |
| ubutom | Off Topic is not Ontopic :P :D | 01:29 |
| ubutom | Sorry MTecknology , I'm only a human, don't have bot skills | 01:30 |
| whompapotamus | Typos_King: understood, but there are utilities for linux that i can use like http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec which will extract files on an NTFS file system - just doesn't support many other file types | 01:30 |
| Random832 | Cyrusthebeast: anyway, read the fine google. | 01:30 |
| Cyrusthebeast | fine google? | 01:30 |
| maco | Cyrusthebeast: he needed a "f" that wouldnt result in me kicking him | 01:30 |
| maco | s/he/he or she/;s/him/him or her/ | 01:30 |
| Cyrusthebeast | the google on what? | 01:30 |
| whompapotamus | Typos_King: a coworker runs XP - i use linux - he deleted a bunch of folders (user error to blame) and is looking to me for help | 01:31 |
| Random832 | Cyrusthebeast: the google on the topic you are trying to get help with | 01:31 |
| Random832 | gah nevermind | 01:31 |
| vaul | Killaklown: Are you sure you have this verison supplied by any repository? | 01:31 |
| Cyrusthebeast | running programs on UNIX? o.O | 01:31 |
| MTecknology | !undelete > whompapotamus | 01:31 |
| ubottu | whompapotamus, please see my private message | 01:31 |
| ubutom | Random832, I said it's most likely illegal if you are not the owner of a file and you brought up the parents or legal guardian stuff by yourself as an excuse to undermine the rights of the legit owner of a file, period. | 01:31 |
| KaOSoFt | Is there a way to reinstall Ubuntu 10.04 without having to format the whole partition? I mean, like keeping /home/username/, but reinstall (delete everything else) everything else. | 01:31 |
| Killaklown | vaul: i only see one version... 1.2.4 | 01:31 |
| Killaklown | vaul: i want to install 1.2.7 i'm not sure its in repos.. whats what i was asking... what do i do when i want an upgraded version of an app | 01:31 |
| kesroesweyth | kaosoft > did you make a seperate home partition when you installed ubuntu? | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: well, is an app to help people in a techhelp desk, to organize and track tickets, is all, most likely a database-based CMS | 01:32 |
| vaul | Killaklown: Then problem is, you should first add a repository that have this verison, or just wait for an repository update. | 01:32 |
| Killaklown | vaul: :( | 01:32 |
| MTecknology | KaOSoFt: You need to install /home and anything else onto its own partition - then it can stay there when you reinstall | 01:32 |
| vaul | Killaklown: But this could be very long. | 01:32 |
| Random832 | ubutom: the law doesn't even HAVE a concept of ownership of computer files, independently of both the copyright of the file and the ownership of the media they are on | 01:32 |
| Killaklown | vaul: exactly | 01:32 |
| qwiksilver711 | i'm trying to use the empathy chat client to use for facebook/gmail chat, and it keeps saying network error when i try to connect, whats going on? | 01:32 |
| Killaklown | vaul: thougth there was like a "testing" repo or something | 01:32 |
| ubutom | Random832, maybe your law | 01:32 |
| vaul | Killaklown: So, it's better to add some PPA repository or else. | 01:32 |
| maco | Random832, ubutom: seriously, you two are FAR off topic | 01:32 |
| ubutom | Random832, Big Brother is greeting | 01:32 |
| KaOSoFt | kesroesweyth, MTecknology, I haven't. I'm going to do it right now, so I can do it in the future. Thanks! | 01:32 |
| maco | Random832, ubutom: if you want to debate privacy laws, do it elsewhere, like #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:33 |
| ubutom | maco, yes, apologies | 01:33 |
| vaul | Killaklown: If it's stable release it don't have to be testing repository. | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: I'd expect that for usage for people with high call volumes, otherwise, I can probably do the whole thing from a spreadsheet | 01:33 |
| Guest54403 | Typos_King: yup.. but im having a hard time installing it.. im done with the mysql part but i can't understand what's next | 01:33 |
| MTecknology | KaOSoFt: you could actually create a new parttion- move your content onto it- use that- wipe your root partition- reinstall | 01:33 |
| Killaklown | vaul: ok basically I guess I will have to compile... because ubuntu's repo only have bitlbee 1.2.4 which has a bug. | 01:33 |
| MTecknology | KaOSoFt: that's tricky though - just make backups and start fresh - this time | 01:34 |
| vaul | Killaklown: Not neccessay. | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: yeah, but ... well. I don't use it, soooo, your question is specific to this otrs.org app, no a ubuntu per se | 01:34 |
| Killaklown | vaul: ok so how else would i get the current version? | 01:34 |
| vaul | Killaklown: If it's popular, someone already compiled it. | 01:34 |
| thune3 | glaucous: "ls -ld /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?" only shows two cpu? | 01:34 |
| Killaklown | vaul: and where would i find that? | 01:34 |
| whompapotamus | MTecknology: what do you mean? !undelete > whompapotamus ? | 01:34 |
| kesroesweyth | kaosoft > yes you should back up anything that is important now and restore it later, but for the future, keeping a seperate home partition is key | 01:34 |
| MTecknology | whompapotamus: read the message from ubottu | 01:34 |
| KaOSoFt | You both just made my day. | 01:34 |
| vaul | Killaklown: Via Google? Something like "bibee 1.2.7" +deb | 01:35 |
| Killaklown | vaul: i see | 01:35 |
| kesroesweyth | kaosoft > glad to help | 01:35 |
| whompapotamus | MTecknology: i see... thanks | 01:35 |
| vaul | Killaklown: With punctuation. | 01:35 |
| Killaklown | vaul: 2ndly can i actually trust that...... :| | 01:35 |
| Guest54403 | Typos_King: i mean im having a hard time installing it here in ubuntu | 01:35 |
| Killaklown | vaul: thats another problem | 01:35 |
| vaul | Killaklown: What is it? | 01:35 |
| glaucous | thune3, no it shows two CPUs. But there should be four. | 01:35 |
| _CommandeR_ | Anyone knows how to resolve Wubi running on a raid array? | 01:35 |

| MTecknology | glaucous: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 01:36 |
| SlidingHorn | !anyone > _CommandeR_ | 01:36 |
| Killaklown | vaul: they can put anything in there | 01:36 |
| ubottu | _CommandeR_, please see my private message | 01:36 |
| LA2 | can I restart my X window manager without logging out? | 01:36 |
| vaul | Killaklown: It is unlikely that it would cause trouble. | 01:36 |
| glaucous | MTecknology, cpu cores: 2 | 01:36 |
| Killaklown | vaul: ok | 01:36 |
| vaul | Killaklown: But still, check sources. | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | Guest54403: well, .... can't say... still doesn't make it a ubuntu-core component issue, just an installation matter, if I'd use it, I'd be able to help more, but I don't, so | 01:36 |
| MTecknology | Killaklown: http://tinyurl.com/34933p5 | 01:37 |
| Killaklown | vaul: is there a way I can compile into a nice .deb package so that I can manage from package manager? | 01:37 |
| Killaklown | MTecknology: k | 01:37 |
| nerdy_kid | LA2 in the sense that you mean, no. It will kill all running graphical apps | 01:37 |

| thune3 | glaucous: i saw http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289119 , where some issue with bios and USB devices connected on boot caused a similar issue | 01:37 |
| LA2 | nerdy_kid: I could do that ten years ago | 01:37 |
| vaul | Killaklown: http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/s390/bitlbee/download | 01:37 |
| vaul | Killaklown: That's quite trusted source. | 01:38 |
| glaucous | thune3, I'll take a look | 01:38 |
| SlidingHorn | What's the command to save the .deb created during compiling? Cant remember for the life of me | 01:38 |
| LA2 | but now, my menu only has logout, reboot and shutdown | 01:38 |
| vaul | Killaklown: It is most likely to work flawlessly, but still better to back up application settings and data before proceeding. | 01:38 |

| ennui | hey gang. my macbookpro5.3 has a OSX partition as well as a Ubuntu one. When I start the computer it auto boots to OSX. If I hold 'alt'on start I can select to boot from Ubuntu's grub partition (in the menu here it calls it "Windows" and my Linux file system directory seems to not be detected). | 02:00 |
| ennui | I'd like to have the macbook boot from grub by default (it's actually grub2) as linux is my main system now | 02:00 |
| ennui | is there some way to set which partition is booted from by default? I see that OSX has a '*' in the boot collumn when running fdisk -l | 02:00 |

| siddhion | Jordan_U: ok I will try that. | 02:07 |
| glaucous | Asking again since I had to relog for a while before: "I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and for some reason it can't recognize my four cores (AMD Phenom 2 x4 940), only two cores. Four cores works in Windows and worked in 9.10." | 02:07 |
| kesroesweyth | siddhion > yes you have grub, apparently grub2 actually | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: Macs use EFI, and only an EFI bootloader can be the "default", and Ubuntu is using grub-pc, which is a BIOS bootloader. You have two options, 1: install rEFIt, which is a easy to use graphical bootloader for EFI 2: Use grub-efi, which works fairly well but isn't currently very easy to install. | 02:08 |
| Saul_Goodman | glaucous: try updating the bios on your motherboard | 02:08 |
| kesroesweyth | siddhion > you could try running sudo update-grub | 02:10 |

| siddhion | Jordan_U ok holding SHIFT worked .... I saw the list but I did not see the new kernel that I installed | 02:10 |
| siddhion | kesroesweyth i got into grub | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: Since I assume you'll want to go with rEFIt, you can use the "legacyfirst" (meaning bios based bootloader, i.e. grub-pc) option to make Ubuntu the default OS. See: http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c3s3_config.html | 02:10 |
| kesroesweyth | siddhion > that *should* cause grub to see and included in the boot list any new available kernels | 02:11 |

| greathector7 | you say locales? | 02:33 |
| siddhion | Jordan_U I just installed the image and it says Done. in Terminal but places the cursor on a blank line. is it still processing something or can I just press CTRL - c to escape that? | 02:34 |
| vaul | greathector7: Yes. | 02:34 |
| greathector7 | not | 02:34 |
| Jordan_U | siddhion: It's still processing. | 02:34 |
| vaul | greathector7: Try it. | 02:34 |
| _CommandeR_ | Jordan_U, hm is there a way to fix it? | 02:34 |
| greathector7 | apt-get install locales | 02:35 |
| siddhion | Jordan_U oh never mind. right i see. it just finished. last time i pressed CTRL - c ... maybe that was the problem! | 02:35 |
| vaul | greathector7: No, not that. | 02:35 |
| vaul | greathector7: What version do you have? | 02:35 |
| vaul | greathector7: Of Ubuntu? | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Crayboff: is it working properly? whats the problem you are having? its just beeping? when? | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | _CommandeR_: Possibly, but it's going to take a lot of work (and may not succeed in the end). So you can decide if it's worth the effort or not. Installing Ubuntu to it's own partition with the standard installer will probably work fine though. | 02:36 |
| greathector7 | nop | 02:36 |
| greathector7 | knnoppik | 02:36 |
| ennui | Jordan_U I tryed installing rEFIt before with the installer bundle on OSX, but I never saw the menu upon start up after trying several times | 02:36 |
| Crayboff | Dr_Willis: everything else appears to be working, just these random beeps, three beeps like every 30 or so minutes? i dunno how frequently it happens, rare enough to startle me, often enough for me to ask about it | 02:37 |
| greathector7 | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 02:37 |
| greathector7 | locales: Depends: glibc-2.7-1 | 02:37 |
| greathector7 | E: Broken packages | 02:37 |
| _CommandeR_ | Jordan_U, i see | 02:37 |
| vaul | greathector7: I am not familiar with the Knoppix package names or package system. You should try finding it youself, or try finding support on the Knoppix channel. It is Ubuntu support channel, to be fair. | 02:38 |

| siddhion | Jordan_U ok should I check the GRUB.cfg file or should I restart and press SHIFT? | 02:38 |
| Jordan_U | siddhion: Check the grub.cfg file first. | 02:38 |
| vaul | Jordan_U: You said installing BFS do not help with flash performance. Is there something I missed about that thing? | 02:39 |
| Starcraftmazter | hio, after the latest series of updates, my shutdown menu on the far right top is gone | 02:39 |
| vaul | Jordan_U: Actually, I never tried that myself, but I read a lot of positive responses about that thing. | 02:41 |
| siddhion | Jordan_U ok yes. I see the new kernel listed there. so how do I make GRUB boot the new kernel everytime with out having to press SHIFT to enter GRUB? | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | vaul: Video used to play smoothly for him before, and now it's signifigantly worse. That means that 1: There is a problem somewhere that has made his situation worse, that needs to be fixed 2: Trying to work around the root cause by getting slightly better general performance with BFS will not make up for the difference. | 02:41 |
| vaul | Jordan_U: Thank you, I think I missed some of the information he provided. | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | siddhion: Grub by default boots the kernel with the highest version first. | 02:41 |
| siddhion | Jordan_U ok sounds good. i will test this out then. be back in a bit. | 02:42 |
| djzn | Jordan_U: hey | 02:42 |
| djzn | Jordan_U: the entire mailing list sounds good.. but needs a hack, doesnt it | 02:42 |
| dark1 | hello, when i do names=( Jennifer Tonya Anna Sadie ) in shell script, i get Syntax error: "(" unexpected, why is that | 02:44 |
| h00k | dark1: you can try #bash for scripting support | 02:44 |
| h00k | dark1: you might have to escape the (s with \ | 02:44 |
| dark1 | thanks! | 02:44 |
| ennui | Jordan_U: any other reason to use rEFIt over grub-efi besides a easier installation? I think the boot to linux would be faster with grub-efi | 02:45 |
| iantlopp | I'm trying to write information into a .txt file from the command line. The line so far (which outputs the text I need to the screen), is "cat */_cards.dat | grep "id=" | cut -d "=" -f 2" | 02:46 |
| iantlopp | what else would I need to add to have it save that data to a .txt file? | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: Linux drivers currently don't work verry well when not booting from BIOS, so you'd want to load grub-pc from grub-efi anyway. | 02:46 |
| h00k | iantlopp: you can try #bash for bash scripting support, they might be able to help | 02:46 |
| iantlopp | sorry... | 02:46 |
| h00k | iantlopp: it's okay :) | 02:46 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Wait. | 02:46 |
| === usuario-master is now known as acido | ||
| iantlopp | yes vaul? | 02:47 |
| vaul | iantlopp: You need to add " > Path/to/your/file.txt" This should work. | 02:47 |
| vaul | iantlopp: I think if path includes spaces, you need to take comand in the quotes. "Like theese." | 02:48 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Tell me if this worked, I am curious too. | 02:48 |
| maco | vaul: or escape it. like this: Hello\ World | 02:49 |
| _CommandeR_ | Hi guys, trying to install Wubi but get an stdout error (http://pastebin.org/353110) | 02:49 |
| dasduke | need some help setting up x11 forwarding over ssh, (google has failed me thus far) | 02:49 |
| vaul | maco: Didn't understand you. | 02:49 |
| iantlopp | vaul... it acted like it did but created no file... I didn't put a path at all, just collection.txt | 02:49 |
| iantlopp | err... " > collection.txt" was added to the end of my line. | 02:49 |
| maco | vaul: instead of quotes it could be /home/vaul/Directory\ With\ Spaces/file | 02:49 |
| iantlopp | but it didn't create a collection file. | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | djzn: Google Groups is just a front end for usenet. Try finding a usenet client that will let you archive the messages. | 02:50 |
| vaul | iantlopp: No need for quotes if there are spaces int the path? I'll note this. | 02:50 |
| maco | Jordan_U: not *all* Google Groups are usenet | 02:50 |
| vaul | iantlopp: I think you need to create a file youself. | 02:50 |
| iantlopp | no vaul... | 02:50 |
| Cuervo | Is there anyway to improve the refresh rate on virt-manager? when I run ls in the terminal, or a program that outputs lots of text, it takes forever for all the text to print out. I have tried both sdl and vnc windows. | 02:50 |
| iantlopp | >collection.txt worked, while > collection.dat did not (note the lack of space) | 02:50 |
| maco | Jordan_U: its a gateway to usenet, yes, but there are plenty of groups that exist in GG that a usenet client wont see | 02:50 |
| vaul | iantlopp: So, it worked? | 02:51 |
| iantlopp | yeah | 02:51 |
| vaul | iantlopp: It may, I am not very good at Bash. | 02:51 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Thank you, I'll not for later. | 02:51 |
| dasduke | getting: "sh: /usr/bin/xauth: Permission denied" when i try to forward x11 over ssh, suggestions anyone? | 02:52 |
| iantlopp | hmm.. is there any way to add a context menu item similar to "open cli here" when right clicking in or on a foldcer? | 02:52 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Surely. | 02:52 |
| vaul | iantlopp: But what is that «CLI» thing? | 02:52 |
| iantlopp | command line interface... the terminal, etc... | 02:52 |
| iantlopp | where you type bash commands. | 02:53 |
| jim | a shell running in a terminal | 02:53 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Get Ubuntu Tweak, it allows you to customize Nautilus scripts availiable. | 02:53 |
| iantlopp | ahh, thanks | 02:53 |
| vaul | iantlopp: And there are surely this one availiable. | 02:53 |
| vaul | iantlopp: Or it may be an option in the Nautilus settings. | 02:53 |
| jim | you could write a script that sets CWD and forks an xterm | 02:54 |

| vaul | Jim: It's okay too, no need to apologise. But I am just not a programmer and do not want to be one. | 02:57 |

| jdsbluedevl | the problem is I can't set up a connection profile on my second card so that it can share the connection coming from the first card. Adding a profile through network connections only adds it to the active card and not to the card to be shared | 03:16 |
| mikeliss | iceroot: Oh yeah, definitely. But the "normal" people I talk to prefer to do things outside of the terminal, and don't want to ever interact with it. Hence my reasoning for not including the nautilus-open-terminal app. | 03:17 |

| gnuyen | does ndiswrapper work | 03:47 |
| gnuyen | with amd64? | 03:47 |
| Joshua_Roberts | thanks | 03:47 |
| MTecknology | gnuyen: it works - but it's an ugly tool - only to be used as a last resort | 03:48 |
| Joshua_Roberts | I am really impressed with openbox... it really adds some extra umph to my old laptop. almost makes it seem like it is a newer one... :D | 03:48 |
| tucemiux | anyone knows how to fix wireless? My wireless keeps automatically connecting at home so I configured the connection at home so that it doesnt connect automatically, now the wireless icon does not appear on my panel | 03:48 |
| gnuyen | MTecknology, well the native driver i compiled, and when I plug in the usb device it crashes | 03:49 |
| mikeliss | Hmmm...well pm-suspend does nothing at all, and the buttons are missing.... | 03:49 |
| scott__ | shouldn't it be plug-n-play | 03:49 |
| gnuyen | is there any way to switch to 32 bit | 03:49 |
| MTecknology | gnuyen: you need to reinstall | 03:49 |
| gnuyen | on a 64 bit system? I just want to keep my home directory intact and the things I have installed | 03:49 |
| Joshua_Roberts | anyone know how to restore a minimized window when using openbox without a taskbar? | 03:49 |
| MTecknology | gnuyen: using synaptic you can get a snapshot of your package state | 03:50 |
| gnuyen | can i reinstall over this system in such a way that it saves everything | 03:50 |
| MTecknology | Joshua_Roberts: Alt+Tab | 03:50 |
| gogu | Hi, how to resize '/' and '/home' partitions using liveCD? | 03:50 |
| MTecknology | gnuyen: not really - only if you setup separate partitions for /home to begin with | 03:50 |
| Joshua_Roberts | duh.. I even read that... and is such a useful part of windows. *why is my brain slipping gears now that I am using linux...?* | 03:51 |
| bazhang | gnuyen, you could move your home to a separate partition if you wish | 03:51 |
| bazhang | !home | gnuyen | 03:51 |
| ubottu | gnuyen: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 03:51 |
| Jazzy_J | gnuyen, backup your home directory to an external drive or usb drive and then nuke and pave. you will have to reinstall everything. | 03:51 |
| MTecknology | Joshua_Roberts: it's that easy? | 03:51 |
| vu1kan | gogu use gparted, if it's on there | 03:51 |
| MTecknology | bazhang: nice - didn't know that one | 03:51 |
| Joshua_Roberts | yes and Shift+Alt+Tab browses open applications backwards/ | 03:52 |
| gogu | vulkan i installed gparted. how to make it bootable? | 03:52 |
| vu1kan | gogu i'm not too famliar with the app, maybe one of the gurus in here is? | 03:53 |
| leifw | I have a 24MB iso file that is clearly not blank, yet when I mount it, nothing appears in the mountpoint | 03:53 |
| Joshua_Roberts | MTecknology, It is really neat. I may not go back to gnome once I learn enough xml to edit the menu, main files that openbox uses to organize everyting. | 03:54 |
| leifw | does anyone know what might cause this? | 03:54 |
| leifw | it's a BIOS update cd from lenovo | 03:54 |
| adamh_ | is there a way to write a disk image to a usb drive in ubuntu, it is a windows ISO i need to put on a USB stick. | 03:54 |
| adamh_ | Unetbootin doesnt work. | 03:54 |
| MTecknology | Joshua_Roberts: obconf obmenu | 03:54 |
| bazhang | adamh_, never heard of windows handing out ISO's | 03:54 |
| adamh_ | bazhang: you can get them from their site when you buy it digitaly | 03:55 |
| gogu | vulkan ok. think its better to reinstall. Mine is 120gb HDD, 1GB RAM. how much space should I ideally allocate for Swap, '/' and '/home'? Pl advise. | 03:55 |
| bazhang | adamh_, try in ##windows | 03:55 |
| adamh_ | they offer lots of software on isos | 03:55 |
| adamh_ | ? i need to do it in ubuntu, i need software to do it, i have tried it in virtualbox but it doesnt work. | 03:56 |
| wildbat | leifw, tried UDF yet? got a USB and dd the iso to it?? | 03:56 |
| leifw | I tried udf | 03:56 |
| Joshua_Roberts | MTecknology, yeah I know, but obconf still lacks some features, like I can't edit the location of the window control buttons and such through obconf, I have to still use xml. | 03:56 |
| bazhang | adamh_, never heard of it being doable via linux, which is why I suggest ##windows | 03:56 |
| leifw | I haven't tried just dding it to an iso, no | 03:56 |
| leifw | err | 03:56 |
| leifw | to a usb | 03:56 |
| MTecknology | Joshua_Roberts: yes you can - check it out again | 03:56 |
| xomp | hey guys/gals, got Ubuntu installed on a VirtualBox but cannot get a true fullscreen, is this a limit of VirtualBox? or my Ubuntu configuration of sorts? | 03:56 |

| leifw | I'm following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=817897 which tells me to mount it and copy the files onto a prepared usb drive | 03:57 |
| leifw | but I'll try dd | 03:57 |
| iceroot | adamh_: dd | 03:57 |
| wildbat | leifw, get a usb and dd to it ~ it is most likely a bootable iso | 03:57 |
| adamh_ | iceroot: dd the iso to usb? | 03:57 |
| xomp | MTecknology, cheers I'll look into that! | 03:57 |
| iceroot | adamh_: yes | 03:57 |
| adamh_ | kk ill try it now, thanks. | 03:57 |
| wildbat | leifw, be warned ~ dd wil WIPE the usb ~ backup the data if needed | 03:58 |
| iceroot | adamh_: there was an option in dd to use isos and other images | 03:58 |
| leifw | yeah I know | 03:58 |

| mikeliss | jim: I'm open to ideas.... | 04:02 |
| MTecknology | Joshua_Roberts: :) | 04:02 |

| PuffTheMagic | Juanto: google 'sed one liners' | 04:19 |
| frodubuntu | I'm about to setup a Linux file server | 04:19 |
| jim | seidos: look into rename | 04:19 |
| frodubuntu | I'm wondering if I should use the pci-x raid controller's raid | 04:19 |
| frodubuntu | or just setup a software raid | 04:19 |
| MTecknology | there's the simple rename command too | 04:19 |
| smerz | Juanto: try floola ipod manager | 04:20 |
| seidos | MTecknology, jim, thanks | 04:20 |

| MPCU | Hi guys, not really sure where to ask this. I want to run a script (which will take a while to run) on a remote machine without having to stay logged in on my own. Is there a way with ssh (or anything else) to do this? | 04:20 |
| HermanDE-1 | frodubuntu, hardware raid is much better than software raid.... | 04:20 |
| jim | you might want to read up on rename... and experiment to make sure it's doing what you want | 04:20 |
| frodubuntu | use screen | 04:20 |
| frodubuntu | ok | 04:20 |
| smerz | Juanto, there are other apps too. But Floola worked with my 3rd gen ipod shuffle. so it should work with many other ipods | 04:21 |
| frodubuntu | HermanDE-1 thank you | 04:21 |
| HermanDE-1 | frodubuntu, If the pci-x raid is a software/firmware raid.... A straight software raid might be better.... | 04:21 |
| cheako | whats with recoivery console and slash? | 04:21 |
| smerz | and if you google you'll find a couple more apps | 04:21 |
| jim | frodubuntu, are you sure that either choice is a real hardware raid? | 04:21 |
| Juanto | okay well let me quiz you smerz | 04:21 |
| frodubuntu | HermanDE-1 thank you very much | 04:21 |
| Juanto | does it scan dirs all the time for changes? | 04:21 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU use screen | 04:21 |
| Juanto | i want something that is easy to use basically. | 04:21 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU screen will allow you to leave the session running in th ebackground | 04:21 |
| smerz | Juanto, hmm tbh I'm force to use iTunes in a virtual machine. because of the voice over sounds | 04:22 |
| HermanDE-1 | frodubuntu, It's even scriptable....... :) | 04:22 |
| Juanto | eff | 04:22 |
| smerz | Juanto, so i don't have much experience. But Floola is definitely easy to use yes | 04:22 |
| Juanto | what virtual machine are you using? wine? | 04:22 |
| smerz | Windows | 04:22 |
| frodubuntu | HermanDE-1 yeah, I was answering MPCU's question on wanting to run a long script via ssh | 04:22 |
| MPCU | frodubuntu, thanks, i'll definitely have a look at that | 04:22 |
| smerz | Virtualbox and Windows 7 guest | 04:22 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU I'm assuming you want to lave the script running and then come back to it later? | 04:23 |
| Juanto | i might just run that setup then because it seams like it's the only thing that'll work easilly. | 04:23 |
| MPCU | frodubuntu, I don't care about restoring the session since the script writes a log | 04:23 |
| smerz | Floola will work easily | 04:23 |
| dingxiaorang | 你们为什么不说中文呢 | 04:23 |
| Juanto | i'll give it another go. | 04:23 |
| HermanDE-1 | MPCU, frodubuntu is right on the money.... Run screen on the server.... Peek in every now and again with ssh.... | 04:23 |
| frodubuntu | Ok, where is what you can do then | 04:23 |
| smerz | i would recommend trying that one | 04:23 |

| frodubuntu | MPCU something like $screen ./myscript.sh | 04:24 |
| frodubuntu | then screen will end on the background even after you logout | 04:24 |
| scorp_ | WOW patch anyone? | 04:24 |
| MPCU | frodubuntu, that's while connected to the machine via ssh, i imagine? | 04:24 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU you can first connect to your machine | 04:25 |
| frodubuntu | and then fireup screen | 04:25 |
| === fvr is now known as juragan_kopi | ||
| frodubuntu | MPCU if you were to run 'screen ./MyScript.sh' and then you can "detach" (send to the background) your screen and logout, and the program will continue to run on that "screen" | 04:26 |

| MPCU | frodubuntu, cool stuff, that's perfect. thanks again! | 04:27 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU else what you can do is login via ssh, then type "screen" (without double quotes), then fire-up your script, and hit Ctrl+D to "detach" your screen | 04:27 |
| Joshua_Roberts | MTecknology, does obconf let me set key bindings too? or is that still something I have to do manually? | 04:27 |
| frodubuntu | MPCU no problem, I use it all the time and it was a life saver for me | 04:27 |

| ubuntu | Excuse me is this a tech support room? | 04:44 |
| Juanto | i've got 10.04 | 04:44 |
| jdsbluedevl | Ubuntu: yes | 04:44 |
| ubuntu | oh | 04:44 |
| ubuntu | lol | 04:44 |
| jdsbluedevl | Can someone help me do a blow-by-blow for how to set up an ICS from my Ubuntu box to my Roku set-top box? I tried to do it by how the HowTo page says, but it isn't helping. The problem is I can't set up a connection profile on my second card so that it can share the connection coming from the first card. Adding a profile through network connections only adds it to the active card and not to the card to be shared | 04:44 |
| ubuntu | i think im in the wrong place | 04:44 |
| Juanto | seidos: what do you mean? | 04:44 |
| MTecknology | !repeate > jdsbluedevl | 04:44 |
| Juanto | i need to have rockbox? | 04:44 |

| ubottu | jdsbluedevl, please see my private message | 04:44 |
| FourAM | now I'm stuck at the grub rescue> prompt but none of the commands seem to be there except ls, set, unset, and insmod...I think it's not finding a partition with the modules it needs - not even help works. Im running from a lucid install | 04:45 |
| seidos | Juanto, I have an ipod 5th gen, the 80GB model I think. itunes has a database that keeps track of the files. there is no current (that I know of) support for reading and writing to this database. but if you have an ipod where you just xfer files back and forth, like a nano, without needing itunes and its database, then you should be good to go | 04:46 |
| Juanto | i've got an ipod classic 6th gen. | 04:46 |
| seidos | Juanto, if you want to see what I mean, go at the filenames for the music on your ipod | 04:46 |
| Juanto | i'm fimilar with the file names | 04:46 |
| seidos | Juanto, just browse to the music folder. if it's got a bunch of 4 letter names than your ipod is using the itunes database | 04:47 |
| Juanto | I know | 04:47 |
| seidos | s/than/then | 04:47 |
| Juanto | I'm not stupid here. | 04:47 |
| seidos | so, what's your question? | 04:47 |
| seidos | Juanto, dude, I never said you were | 04:47 |
| ubuntu | Well i might as well ask i am having an issue with john the ripper. mostly for lack of understanding i am sure. how do i obtain the has to run the program on? | 04:47 |
| Juanto | sorry, i'm a ittle edgy. | 04:47 |
| Juanto | anyway, what version are you running because I can get some songs over using banshee | 04:47 |
| gantrixx | I have a question about audio configuration. I have two USB microphone devices connected: one is a logitech USB microphone, the other is a Logitech USB webcam with built in microphone. But when I go to the input tab, "choose device for sound input" only allows me to choose "Internal Audio Analog Stereo". How do I get it to allow me to choose one of the USB input devices? | 04:47 |
| FourAM | i have already attempted to edit the grub.cfg file by hand (booting from USB) but I don't think that matter is I'm not loading the partition in the first place. Anyone know where to go from here? I mean, BIOS is dropping me into grub SOMEWHERE | 04:47 |
| Juanto | BUT it keeps crashing when it tries to transcode some songs. | 04:48 |
| seidos | Juanto, I was able to get some songs copied from ipodgtk I think, but it was a poor replacement for actual syncing | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | Juanto: seidos: You don't need rockbox for iPod syncing support, all iPod (and iPhone) models are supported out of the box. | 04:48 |
| Juanto | i do agree. | 04:48 |
| seidos | Juanto, yeah, I had to give up on some songs | 04:48 |
| FourAM | if no one here is familiar with these issues, can you point me to a channel where I can get an answer? I'm not trying to be pushy but I'm slightly pressed for time and I just wanted to find the answer as quickly as I can | 04:48 |
| Juanto | Jordan_U: I know this. what do you use if any? | 04:49 |
| seidos | Jordan_U, using what? | 04:49 |
| ubuntu | ha i'm not sure whats rude here | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | seidos: Rhythmbox. | 04:49 |
| ubuntu | what do you do? | 04:49 |
| Juanto | damn | 04:49 |
| ubuntu | spam till we get a reply? | 04:49 |

| seidos | Jordan_U, I'll download the newest version and see how it handles my ipod, didn't use to work though | 04:50 |
| seidos | s/use/used | 04:50 |
| Juanto | Jordan_U: I tried using rhythmbox but it crashes or doesn't transcode properly. | 04:50 |
| ubuntu | oh yeah im having an issue with totem | 04:50 |
| Doyle2 | Q: How do I configure the network from the terminal? A url with instruction would be fine. Thanks | 04:50 |
| ubuntu | i can't seem to resolve | 04:50 |
| seidos | I honestly doubt it will work now. I didn't think the rhythmbox developers/engineers were going to reverse engineer the itunes database so people could sync their ipods | 04:51 |
| codecx | how can i see my centerim version number | 04:51 |

| FourAM | Repeating, all as one line for readability: Hello, anyone around who can provide some help on a grub2 issue? I've moved partitions around and like a total n00b I didn't run update-grub before i rebooted. i have already attempted to edit the grub.cfg file by hand (booting from USB) but I don't think that matter is I'm not loading the partition in the first place. Anyone know where to go from here? I mean, BIOS is dropping me into grub S | 04:52 |
| Juanto | FourAM: you've asked so many times. that should be a clue that the active participants of the chat don't know the answer | 04:52 |
| Juanto | post on ubuntuforums.com | 04:52 |
| ShrekLappy | i believe u have to reinstall grub, off the top of my head i dont remember how, but im pretty sure it can be done from a livecd, possibly usb | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | FourAM: grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 04:53 |
| Juanto | Jordan_U: while i've got you here. how do you make hte perfered format mp3 for rhythmbox? in the drop down there is no such option. | 04:53 |
| FourAM | Jordan_u: Thanks, I'll give that a shot | 04:53 |
| ubuntu | ok, thats what i was looking for. some rules of etiquette thank you sir. | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | FourAM: You're welcome. | 04:53 |
| lanyu | 222 | 04:53 |

| Jordan_U | Juanto: I don't use rhythmbox personally (nor do I own an iPod). | 04:55 |
| jdsbluedevl | repeating for anyone new coming in: | 04:55 |

| Juanto | :( | 04:55 |
| Juanto | alright | 04:55 |
| seidos | Jordan_U, Juanto I doubt this fixes the problem. But I'm going to try it. It doesn't say it's been tested with older ipods, just iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. But time will tell. | 04:56 |
| Juanto | seidos: i've tired it and it works | 04:56 |
| ShrekLappy | jdsbluedevl, ics is windows, youll need to look into bridging your nic's if im understanding you correctly | 04:56 |
| Juanto | it just won't transcode my files | 04:56 |
| jdsbluedevl | ShrekLappy: right, I'm trying to connect a second device to the Internet indirectly | 04:57 |
| wgf4242 | xmodmap,how to map "Ctrl+1" to another key? | 04:57 |
| Juanto | and it's having a hard time with my 20k plus song library | 04:57 |
| jdsbluedevl | ShrekLappy: I guess I'll try Firestarter first, but I imagine it's going to give me the same problem | 04:57 |
| Hayfever | Could someone please give me some pointers, I've been doing a very basic installation of ubuntu using a large (100gb, 80gb free space) windows partition and trying to have ubuntu split it in half and install ubuntu on the other half. But the thing is, it goes through the install like it's error free, then gives me nothing at all. Not even a modified partition (10.04 x86 standard) | 04:57 |
| seidos | Juanto, I doubt I'll be happy with it. I should probably keep going with my plan to switch to rockbox | 04:58 |
| kendoggie | hello room i just didn't want to be just a lurker, so i'm introducing myself and reading the advice here. I'm in the process of curbing my dependency on windows and going full throttle to linux I have the ubuntu live cd and have installed it using wubi | 04:58 |
| ShrekLappy | you may need to recompile your kernel, or at the very least load a kernel module | 04:58 |
| Juanto | seidos: what is the rockbox you're talking about? | 04:58 |
| jdsbluedevl | ShrekLappy: this is coming off a clean install | 04:58 |
| tim_ | I supposedly have set up my ubuntu One preferences and account on 2 computers, I thought this was supposed to synchronize both computers with the other, it is not doing that, am I missing something? | 04:58 |
| qwiksilver711 | I am tring to install 10.4 on an old 900 mhz amt, 512 mb ram, and every time i try to load it from the cd it tells me there is an unknown system error has occured, and it loads a bootable session to check the error, but asks for a username, and wont let me log in | 04:58 |
| seidos | Juanto, http://www.rockbox.org/ | 04:58 |
| * Juanto found it | 04:58 | |
| Juanto | thanks | 04:59 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevl: I shared internet with Firestarter, took me a while to get it sorted out... | 04:59 |
| SlidingHorn | Hayfever, How exactly are you installing? LiveCD? From your question, it sounds like it's a dual boot? | 04:59 |
| seidos | np. | 04:59 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Did you do a hardware check prior to installing? | 04:59 |
| Juanto | i'm going to give that a shot and see if it works even though my ipod isn't supported with it | 04:59 |
| thebruce | could anyone here explain to me the udev process? | 04:59 |
| Hayfever | SlidingHorn, yes. It's suposed to be a dual boot installation using a USB stick thats by the howto on the site. | 04:59 |
| ShrekLappy | jdsbluedevl, you could also set your machine up as a dhcp server, with the proper setup there you may be able to get it to work | 04:59 |
| FourAM | Jordan_U: I haven't even finished reading this yet, but it sounds like exactly what I need. I wish I had known about chroot before! I'll stick around in case something comes up but again thanks for the link! | 05:00 |
| qwiksilver711 | no what do you mean by hardware check | 05:00 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, memcheck works really well... Run the factory check on the hard drive.... | 05:00 |
| Andorin | Firefox 3.6.4 was released today and I want to upgrade to it. I downloaded the .tar.gz from their website, but where do I extract it to? | 05:00 |

| thebruce | ShrekLappy, hey man | 05:00 |
| thebruce | what's going on | 05:00 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Age kills most computers.... With age, there are lots of possible failures.... | 05:00 |
| thebruce | just trying to figure out how to configure my udeb | 05:00 |
| SlidingHorn | Hayfever, hrm..I've never used USB to install :-\ | 05:00 |
| thebruce | udev** | 05:00 |
| ShrekLappy | nada, just wastin time helping ppl, since my help is not needed other places i guess | 05:00 |
| scunizi | Is there a channel for chrome OS? | 05:00 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Run memtest86 from the CD.... Let it check the memory/cpu/motherboard..... | 05:01 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, It may take a bit of time. You want atleast 2 good sweeps..... | 05:01 |
| jdsbluedevl | ShrekLappy: Firestarter not working. Telling me Eth0 is not ready (Eth0 is going to be share-out, Eth1 is network-in) | 05:01 |
| Hayfever | SlidingHorn, it's really stranged and I'm stumped, never experienced anything like it. It goes through all the stages and even shows a progress bar that takes a few minutes. But then nothing is altered, no files are added, nothing. | 05:01 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Then follow that up with using the factory test tool from the hard drive maker... Usually you can download this from their site.... | 05:02 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Have the hard drive run a basic test.... | 05:02 |
| kendoggie | herman how true i just dug out an old laptop today hasn't been turned on in a while 64ram lol and like 386 or something tried to boot but it says windows is messed up then when it auto reobooted it says no os, tried to load a linux disk in there and it doesn't boot from the cd, so its gone lol its been in the closet for like three years or so | 05:02 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, If everything looks good, try again. If it fails, check the CD.... | 05:02 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevil: you have to start your interfaces before Firestarter can configure them | 05:03 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: ifconfig says Eth0 is up | 05:03 |
| HermanDE-1 | I've got way too much time sitting in front of a system with a bad video ram chip thinking it is the OS..... | 05:03 |
| qwiksilver711 | the mem test is in the iso i got from the website? | 05:03 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: how else would I start the interface? | 05:03 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Which ISO did you download? | 05:04 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevil: eth0 needs an ip address | 05:04 |
| tim_ | I supposedly have set up my ubuntu One preferences and account on 2 computers, I thought this was supposed to synchronize both computers with the other, it is not doing that, am I missing something? | 05:04 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Most distributions include memtest86 as well as a method of checking the CDROM.... | 05:04 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: ok, what do I give it? | 05:04 |
| qwiksilver711 | HermanDE-1, the one from the website, the i386 iso | 05:04 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: ok, I did ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 | 05:05 |
| Andorin | Firefox 3.6.4 was released today and I want to upgrade to it. I downloaded the .tar.gz from their website, but where do I extract it to? | 05:05 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevil: I gave my secondary card: 10.0.0.1 | 05:05 |
| jdsbluedevl | Andorin: use Ubuntuzilla instead, much easier | 05:05 |
| grendal_prime | hey guys. I attempted to do an 804 to 1004 upgrade today..and basically had a gui meltdown. The install never compleated and now...that machine has no workable grub entry from what i can tell. | 05:05 |
| Andorin | jdsbluedevl: What on Earth is that? | 05:05 |
| Hayfever | SlidingHorn, I also just now noticed that the instalaltion shows zero planning for a grub installation of any kind, it usualy shows that at the last step of installation, it only shows the partitions it wants to modify or add. | 05:05 |
| jdsbluedevl | Andorin: it's a package that allows you to upgrade to the latest Firefox and Thunderbird | 05:06 |
| kendoggie | andorin i think you could've just used symptec pkg manager to upgrade it automatically I think i'm totally new to linux and ubuntu | 05:06 |
| LOVE_SP | i installed f-spot from source , $/bin$f-spot i got fatal error Dbus , so i did $dbus-launch fspot i got fatal error Gconf error | 05:06 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: ok, set up the IP address for the second card. What next? | 05:06 |
| grendal_prime | i have an alternate install cd and tried to do a system recovery install. I told it to use the root of sda as the location for the boot loader. What else do i need to do to get a working kernel in there and restart the upgrade process? | 05:06 |
| Andorin | kendoggie: The new version has to be in the software repositories for that to work, and it was just released, so it hasn't been added yet. | 05:07 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevil: you need to run dhcpd | 05:07 |
| MTecknology | Andorin: I might package it up for myself - you could wait for my ppa | 05:07 |
| kendoggie | Andorin oh well they're slow arent they | 05:07 |
| qwiksilver711 | is the memtest for my hd inside the ubuntu iso? | 05:07 |
| LOVE_SP | i installed f-spot from source , $/bin$f-spot i got fatal error Dbus , so i did $dbus-launch fspot i got fatal error Gconf error | 05:08 |
| MTecknology | kendoggie: versions get locked so issues don't pop up | 05:08 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: apparently the share is up now after running the wizard again, but Roku isn't detecting an ethernet connection | 05:08 |
| Andorin | jdsbluedevl: No package named ubuntuzilla... what repository? | 05:08 |
| kendoggie | thats good | 05:08 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, There is the desktop, server, alt install..... | 05:08 |
| MTecknology | LOVE_SP: installing directly from source usually isn't the best idea | 05:08 |
| qwiksilver711 | oh sorry | 05:08 |
| qwiksilver711 | alt install | 05:08 |
| FourAM | Jordan_U: That worked perfectly, that was exactly what I needed! I owe you a beer, my friend! Goodbye for now, people, and thanks again! | 05:08 |
| HermanDE-1 | qwiksilver711, Not a problem.... Should be in the boot menu.... | 05:09 |

| kendoggie | now general question not urgent, has anyone who uses linux ever gotten a virus like windows is prone to get | 05:13 |
| HermanDE-1 | tevol, Are you trying to virtual host the server, email server, desktop, instant messaging? | 05:14 |
| selig5 | jdsbluedevil: you have to install dhcpd | 05:14 |
| tevol | virtual hosts for apache | 05:14 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: the way I see it, the whole problem revolves around not being able to set up a connection profile on the second card | 05:14 |
| tevol | where do i put the <VirtualHost:80> </VirtualHost> in? | 05:14 |
| jdsbluedevl | selig5: dhcpd? not in aptitude | 05:14 |
| rww | ubottu: webmin | 05:14 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 05:14 |

| HotTuna | I just don't see the math | 05:55 |
| isidore1 | 1 byte = 8 bits | 05:55 |
| crdlb | SteveThing: well, when it's on custom, you can turn on whatever you want in the full ccsm | 05:55 |
| rww | HotTuna: there are eight bits in a byte | 05:55 |
| rww | HotTuna: there are eight megabits in a megabyte | 05:56 |
| Doyle | jdsbluedevl, now you're stuck. :/ | 05:56 |
| rww | HotTuna: 100/8 = 12.5 | 05:56 |
| jdsbluedevl | Doyle: lemme guess, you don't know how to set one up, either | 05:56 |
| HotTuna | then why does it work @ 20+ when I rmmod and modprobe my nic module for a few minutes anyway ? | 05:56 |
| isidore1 | probably inaccurate | 05:56 |
| isidore1 | cache or whatnot | 05:57 |
| rww | HotTuna: if it's going over 12.5MB/s, you're either measuring wrong or not using a 100mbit connection. | 05:57 |
| SteveThing | crdlb, apparently not... | 05:57 |

| hahahahaha | before i upgrade.. what are the Major differences between 9.10 and 10.04 pleasee | 06:52 |
| the_file | daffel: what I meant was since linux has to emulate **2** instancese of windows running 2 softwares | 06:53 |
| claymccoy | So there is no recourse if you screw up your fstab? | 06:53 |
| the_file | and crossover isn't the samething as wine | 06:53 |

| red2kic | !iso | DynamicDesignzNe | 07:31 |
| ubottu | DynamicDesignzNe: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:31 |

| LinuxWay | o this pc yes | 07:45 |
| === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD | ||
| maco | LinuxWay: possibly its trying to transmit audio to the onboard instead of to the audigy. you can move streams from device to device using pavucontrol | 07:45 |
| abhi_nav | wildbat, mine was not stadby problem. mine was how to switch off the monitor | 07:46 |
| LinuxWay | ok | 07:46 |

| pepee | Flomaster, you don't do that... | 07:49 |
| Flomaster | pepee: I don't do what? | 07:49 |
| LinuxWay | maco:so that was it,than i use pavocontrol to correct it? | 07:49 |
| pepee | Flomaster, you have to *enable* sata from BIOS | 07:49 |
| wildbat | Flomaster, and you can't | 07:49 |
| abhi_nav | Flomaster, no. i think you have problem running some program. I dont know about this bios problem. | 07:50 |
| maco | LinuxWay: that could be it. try changing it and see | 07:50 |
| LinuxWay | ok | 07:50 |
| pepee | and linux will boot fine if sata is enabled | 07:50 |
| Flomaster | wildbat: its enabled and Ubuntu is running just fine on it, my other 250GB sata drive was just fine on it, the bois SEES the 1TBbut hangs up on it I MUST update my bois and silicon driver | 07:50 |
| Christopher | Where does Ubuntu store LSO's? | 07:50 |
| abhi_nav | i have option in my bios to disable or enable sata | 07:51 |
| === Leon is now known as Guest63607 | ||

| WebDawg | Update then. | 07:51 |
| pepee | Flomaster, for updating BIOS, you can install DOS/FreeDOS in a USB pendrive, and run the prgram from it | 07:51 |
| wildbat | flomaster, driver just don't go into bios... you said merge | 07:52 |
| WebDawg | Or if its windows based Flomaster UBCD and a usb stick for the data. | 07:52 |
| Flomaster | http://www.technutopia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=86742&postcount=13 | 07:52 |
| Flomaster | wildbat: WebDawg I may have used the wrong terminology but, itmust be done | 07:52 |
| pepee | Flomaster, btw are you sure you have the same motherboard? | 07:53 |
| Christopher | Where does Ubuntu store LSO's? | 07:53 |
| Flomaster | pepee: its a different model I have the correct bios already for it | 07:53 |
| WebDawg | Thats some crazy type of bios upgrade. | 07:53 |
| pepee | Christopher, LSOs? | 07:53 |
| red2kic | Christopher: /home/chris/.macromedia ? | 07:53 |
| Christopher | Betterprivacy add-on for Firefox does not know wher eto look | 07:54 |
| Christopher | I'll try that | 07:54 |
| Flomaster | WebDawg: yeah I know this whole thing has been a PITA HTPC with 250G hard drive is NO BUENO so I gota 1tb drive and it is being detected on boot up but it just hangs there doesn't even boot to Ubuntu | 07:54 |
| Christopher | There is no .macromedia folder | 07:54 |
| Flomaster | WebDawg: I just need some one to do the merge thingy bob I I can take it from there | 07:55 |
| WebDawg | Flomaster, merge what? | 07:55 |
| red2kic | Christopher: You don't have Flash installed? | 07:55 |
| Christopher | Nope | 07:55 |
| Christopher | Don't need it for anything really | 07:55 |
| Christopher | I have SWF flash tho | 07:55 |
| red2kic | Christopher: LSO is flash cookies, basically. | 07:55 |
| WebDawg | Flomaster, I thought you said you had the bios. | 07:55 |
| Kartagis | is there a tool to broadcast what I am listening to on rhythmbox? | 07:55 |
| Christopher | If I don't have any type of Adobe flash then I do not have to worry? | 07:56 |
| frandieguez | hi all, Im trying to get to work my mighty mouse after suspend. The problem seems to be with the kernel module that dont load properly. Has anyone more info about this? | 07:56 |
| WebDawg | Flomaster, trying to download the bios I get: | 07:56 |
| WebDawg | Nothing. | 07:56 |
| red2kic | Christopher: Pretty much. Yes. | 07:56 |
| Christopher | Does SWFlash leave LSOs behind? | 07:56 |
| red2kic | Christopher: No need for Privacy...addon if you're not going to install Flash. | 07:56 |
| Christopher | Nice! I'll just stick to SWF flash then since apparently it is LSO safe | 07:57 |

| Flomaster | pepee: its the ONLY way I can use my 1TB drive right now my Bios is 2 revisions behind | 07:58 |
| abhi_nav | how to know my bios version? | 07:58 |
| bullgard | Slart: Thank you very much for your help. | 07:58 |
| wildbat | Flomaster, that's BIOS modding ~ ya like pepee said it is dangerous~ it can make you pc no longer boot | 07:58 |

| stanwell | Using mplayer. Cannot stream C-Span video. Any help? | 08:05 |
| pepee | sonicsmasher, you can remove unused services, that will free some memory | 08:05 |
| sonicsmasher | like blue tooth is removed... | 08:06 |
| maco | LinuxWay: ok that appears to have 3 audio devices. 2 pci and 1 usb | 08:06 |
| sonicsmasher | all i want to do is xchat, firefox(youtube) and that's it lol | 08:06 |
| LinuxWay | maco:yes | 08:06 |
| sonicsmasher | what do i remove without killing my vaio? | 08:06 |
| pepee | for example, you can disable mysql from being loaded | 08:06 |
| LinuxWay | maco:same stry al do | 08:06 |
| LinuxWay | story | 08:06 |
| maco | LinuxWay: does pavucontrol show them all? | 08:06 |
| LinuxWay | maco: no | 08:06 |
| pepee | but it can be problematic... if you do use certain apps | 08:06 |
| LinuxWay | maco: only usb audio | 08:07 |
| EvilTrek | sonicsmasher: to be safe, nothing :P | 08:07 |
| dav_ | qwiksilver711: thanks! | 08:07 |

| pepee | sonicsmasher, sudo echo 20 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA1/LCD/brightness | 08:08 |
| sonicsmasher | i'm doing my best to not return this netbook... it's so shiny, but it may end up on craigslist soon... | 08:08 |
| maco | LinuxWay: and that alsa is pre-installed so you shouldnt need to do any "by hand"... | 08:08 |
| dav_ | quicksilver711: now i just have to wait forever to finish shrinking the old drive | 08:08 |
| EvilTrek | pepee: he asked "what do i **remove** without killing my vaio?" | 08:08 |
| sonicsmasher | i'll try pepee | 08:08 |

| maco | LinuxWay: that that audigy is not being properly detected | 08:08 |
| LinuxWay | maco:hmm | 08:09 |
| pepee | EvilTrek, you will not kill it by removing services... | 08:09 |
| pepee | sonicsmasher, you do know what services are, do you? | 08:09 |
| qwiksilver711 | is there a irc channel where people can talk about ubuntu but its not nescessarily the support channel | 08:09 |

| qwiksilver711 | so i have a laptop that has a switchable graphics card, and ubuntu runs the nvidia card all the time, and i cant turn it off, i just want to run the intel card | 08:14 |
| clint- | 40GB hd i put in it for them | 08:14 |
| iceroot | clint-: you have a support-question? | 08:15 |
| clint- | they had this gateway 64mb running win 98 | 08:15 |
| clint- | well I was thinking, breezy is blazing on it, | 08:15 |
| clint- | but I wonder if its still supported | 08:15 |
| zus | on a fresh install of 10.04, i used synaptic package manager to install linux-rt 2.6.31-10-153 (of course i have to do a restart but the update manager has linux 2.6.32-22 will there be an option as to wich kernal i will be booting/loggin in with OR do i untic the 2.6.32-22 generic so as to not update to the new kernal? | 08:15 |
| pepee | clint-, try another distro | 08:15 |
| LinuxWay | maco:tnx anyway:) | 08:15 |
| clint- | 10.04 LTs whatever, I don't like it. too slow | 08:15 |
| iceroot | clint-: please stop using enter so much and beeing off-topic. thanks | 08:15 |
| clint- | this 1 here is working fast though | 08:15 |
| pepee | clint-, there are a couple debian-based light distros... | 08:15 |
| om26er | qwiksilver711, what happens if you pullout the nvidia card? does intel work then? | 08:15 |
| pepee | clint-, or try lubuntu/xubuntu | 08:15 |
| clint- | yeah I know | 08:16 |
| clint- | breezy is working nice on it though, | 08:16 |
| skeeter101 | hey guys......if I have one box, with two nic cards and apache2 running, how do i configure apache to listen on both ip's? | 08:16 |
| clint- | just wondering if still supported, even though 6.06 LTS wasn't too bad as well | 08:16 |
| qwiksilver711 | om26er, its a laptop, and the nvidia is part of the motherboard... yes i know it doesnt make sense, but it really is | 08:16 |
| om26er | qwiksilver711, so your laptop have both intel and nvidia graphics ? | 08:17 |
| qwiksilver711 | yeah | 08:17 |
| qwiksilver711 | and in windows you can just switch them | 08:17 |
| qwiksilver711 | with fn f6 | 08:17 |
| pepee | clint-, IIRC LTS support begins when the last LTS has ended, but I'm not sure | 08:17 |
| pepee | !lts | 08:17 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 08:17 |

| om26er | qwiksilver711, you could try to switch to intel from windows and then come back to ubuntu to see if intel works in that case | 08:21 |
| yudi1 | om26er, had to do a hard reboot, it used to work, | 08:21 |
| yudi1 | flo, yes | 08:21 |
| om26er | yudi1, try the latest kernel | 08:21 |

| EvilTrek | radikal: open terminal, type: sudo shutdown -r now | 08:24 |
| pepee | Adem, or you can use 7z from the command line | 08:24 |
| om26er | yudi1, lucid is not using the latest kernel. the latest stable version is 2.6.34 | 08:24 |

| zus | pepee, i dont have anyother Os's installed so when i boot its only a _ that blinks for a few seconds, then the splash screen loads | 08:26 |
| sabgenton | Is lucid server now a live cd style ISO? | 08:27 |
| pepee | Adem, don't do that... | 08:27 |
| om26er | qwiksilver711, you are facing bug 550833 | 08:27 |
| pepee | use pastebin.com to paste the output | 08:27 |
| qwiksilver711 | oh yay | 08:27 |
| om26er | qwiksilver711, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550833 | 08:27 |
| yudi1 | om26er, ok, I thought proposed updates are like beta versions, I installed a proposed version before on older version and it caused more problems. I prefer to stay away from proposed | 08:27 |
| sabgenton | if not http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download 's info about usb installation is a bug! | 08:27 |
| Adem | i was trying to notice you, but it started a new irc line for every line i pasted, sorry | 08:27 |
| pepee | zus, install grub... | 08:27 |
| theadmin | What exactly does x-www-browser do? Here it opens Firefox, on my other computer - Chrome... :/ | 08:28 |
| om26er | yudi1, proposed are the stable updates that become normal updates after proper testing. they are not beta at all. | 08:28 |
| pepee | Adem, install that package | 08:28 |
| bullgard | Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks. What tool should I use to partition this thumb drive so that I can use part of it for file exchange between Windows and Ubuntu? | 08:28 |
| Adem | which? | 08:28 |
| pepee | Adem, read the output... | 08:28 |

| iceroot | theadmin: its an alias mapping to the default browser so you dont have to code firefox, chrome, opera or other browser-calls into your application | 08:29 |
| Adem | 7zip not found? | 08:29 |

| Adem | "I WROTE A BUG THAT CAN CRASH WINDOWS" "I GOT THOSE WITH THE SYSTEM FOR FREE" | 08:33 |
| bullgard | theadmin: Is it an error to be German? Please stop laughing at people who are not in perfect command of the English language. | 08:33 |

| pepee | theadmin, config files will not change magically... | 08:37 |
| rcr | video is Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL using the i915 driver according to lspci | 08:38 |
| Joshua_Roberts | hmm anyone know how to access powermanagement from openbox? | 08:38 |
| theadmin | pepee: Paths will NOT change, that is the point :/ | 08:38 |
| theadmin | pepee: Home folder remains the same, there are no other user-specific paths | 08:38 |
| Adem | pepee: i got p7z full | 08:38 |

| Gryllida | In links2, miscellaneous, I set bgcolor to ffffff, hit save options, restarted it, the preference seems to have saved but webpages still have grey background yet, what can I do? | 08:39 |
| theadmin | Can anyone here make sure that "usermod -l newname oldname" command is same, like who tried it? | 08:39 |
| bullgard | Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks. What tool should I use to partition this thumb drive so that I can use part of it for file exchange between Windows and Ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| pepee | Zela, I think you can find such option in the system config | 08:39 |
| Zela | what? | 08:40 |
| Zela | just to change my name when i log on | 08:40 |
| Zela | ? | 08:40 |

| qwiksilver711 | sorry om26er for the fact i'm stupid | 08:41 |
| theadmin | Gryllida: Yes? | 08:41 |
| Gryllida | In links2, miscellaneous, I set bgcolor to ffffff, hit save options, restarted it, the preference seems to have saved but webpages still have grey background yet, what can I do? | 08:41 |
| pepee | !hello | Gryllida | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Gryllida: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 08:42 |
| Gryllida | Thanks :) | 08:42 |
| om26er | qwiksilver711, na you are not stupid. :) | 08:42 |
| theadmin | Gryllida: ffffff is white, uhm... I guess that's what it is, then? | 08:42 |
| JoMs | when I try to umount my mount /mnt/sdb1 I just get this error about the disc is active. I've tried both fuser and lsof in various versions. but I can't get any reponse on them. what could cause this? | 08:42 |
| qwiksilver711 | om26er, ok, we'll settle with just a bit slow | 08:42 |
| pepee | Zela, I think you can't do it without losing your configs... | 08:42 |
| Zela | .. | 08:43 |
| Zela | ok | 08:43 |
| Gryllida | theadmin: the BGcolor of webpages still shows up as grey now, seems to be like the e0e0e0 that was there by default. | 08:43 |
| theadmin | pepee: Ugh. You have no idea what you are talking about, do you? Let me test it out | 08:43 |
| pepee | Zela, if you don't care, do what theadmin said | 08:43 |
| Gryllida | ... | 08:43 |
| Gryllida | anyone? | 08:43 |
| Zela | i care | 08:43 |
| f01kert | nobody really cares about SAS here huh? :) | 08:44 |
| Christopher | What is a program like Skype for Ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| dav_ | wine | 08:44 |
| abhi_nav | does ubuntu save temp and/or permenantly information or sys log or something like that about what I do in guest sesstion? I want ubuntu not to store a single bit neither in temp nor permanent form of what I do in guest session. | 08:45 |
| dav_ | and skype | 08:45 |
| JoMs | Christopher: there are a skype version for ubuntu? | 08:45 |
| Exavion | You could try Skype... | 08:45 |
| pepee | f01kert, SAS? | 08:45 |
| f01kert | serial attached scsi | 08:45 |
| Zela | are you guys sure that is it | 08:45 |
| f01kert | as in, the cciss drivers | 08:45 |
| Christopher | Yes, there is a Skype version | 08:45 |
| JoMs | then why don't use it? | 08:45 |
| Exavion | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 08:45 |
| abhi_nav | ?? | 08:45 |
| pepee | Christopher, try pidgin, empathy (or telepathy, I don't remember...) | 08:45 |
| Christopher | I don't think Empathy has video abilities | 08:46 |
| pepee | chrijon, it does | 08:46 |
| JoMs | Christopher: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ | 08:46 |
| pepee | err Christopher ^^ | 08:46 |
| pepee | but for some protocols only | 08:46 |
| Gryllida | Okay, I've set bgcolor to ffffff in links2, the pref saved, but the webpages still have it grey (as it was by default). How to fix? | 08:46 |
| pepee | such as google talk | 08:46 |
| Gryllida | theadmin ^ | 08:47 |
| pepee | don't know what protocol uses gtalk | 08:47 |
| theadmin | pepee: It works. Only problem is that I lost my profile pic, but that's no big deal. And gtalk is XMPP. | 08:47 |
| Exavion | The Skype protocol is closed, so there are no open source software available to communicate with other skype users | 08:47 |
| pepee | theadmin, it works? | 08:47 |
| pepee | LOL | 08:47 |
| pepee | I told you. | 08:47 |
| theadmin | pepee: Yeah, just changed my username this way, all configs are there. | 08:47 |
| Gryllida | peepee: it's XCPP or something, Pidgin supports it, maybe google talk app is available for linux too; doubt that google accepts connections to its server from apps different from his own | 08:48 |
| pepee | theadmin, did your /home/<user> path change? | 08:48 |
| theadmin | pepee: No, it did not, because I did not supply a -dm NEWHOMEPATH option at all. | 08:48 |
| pepee | Gryllida, use tab to autocomplete nicks | 08:48 |
| theadmin | pepee: So it works. | 08:48 |
| Gryllida | pepee, oops ok, hope you got my answer anyway | 08:49 |
| Exavion | i use empathy for gtalk, it works fine (offline messages too) but I have yet to test the video features (if any) on that protocol | 08:49 |
| theadmin | Who here needed help with changing username? | 08:49 |
| pepee | theadmin, oh ok, try some other apps | 08:49 |
| pepee | theadmin, Zela | 08:49 |
| theadmin | pepee: Trying those I commonly use, every single one works exactly like it did before | 08:49 |
| bullgard | Christopher: You are wrong. | 08:50 |
| red2kic | You're wrong... because? | 08:50 |
| pepee | Gryllida, I did my research ;) | 08:50 |
| pepee | Zela, you can do what theadmin said | 08:50 |
| bullgard | Yesterday I bought a 4-GB thumb drive. GParted shows a bug with it (see Launchpad #545911, #558431). '~$ badblocks -vsw /dev/sdb1' revealed no bad blocks. What tool should I use to partition this thumb drive so that I can use part of it for file exchange between Windows and Ubuntu? | 08:50 |
| theadmin | Zela: Okay, this works but requires a bit of twinkling. First, power down your computer and boot into recovery mode. From there on, choose "root drop to root shell", and type something in the likes of this: "usermod -l newname oldname" | 08:50 |
| pepee | Zela, but you may have some problems... | 08:51 |
| theadmin | It won't let you do it when you're logged in XD | 08:51 |
| om26er | bullgard, gnome-disk-utility is better IMO | 08:51 |
| pepee | theadmin, LOL? | 08:51 |
| jekor` | Can software update screw up Grub settings? I have a brother in Afghanistan who can't boot Windows after running a regular software update. | 08:51 |
| theadmin | pepee: Uhm, well, I find it funny that you can not do something in Linux, just ridiculous | 08:51 |
| pepee | theadmin, you don't know how to get root from console, but you give such advices? | 08:51 |
| theadmin | pepee: How to get root? sudo -i, but you will still be logged in this way as well. | 08:52 |
| jekor` | (Ubuntu's software update) | 08:52 |
| pepee | sudo su... | 08:52 |
| pepee | then reboot | 08:52 |
| pepee | that's all | 08:52 |
| theadmin | pepee: ...sigh, guess you were taught by some anti-Ubunters. If someone was here, he'd tell you why "sudo su" is insane. I know it messes configs up, trust me. | 08:52 |
| mikedraven27 | any way to improve my usb modem speed ? | 08:52 |
| yudi1 | how do I stop empathy from scrolling to the end when I am lookin at old messages | 08:53 |

| Exavion | jekor`: Is the Windows part not showing up anymore in the bootlist? Or is it showing but improperly booting? | 08:53 |
| pepee | theadmin, I learn by myself... | 08:53 |
| ndlovu | hmm.. on lucid, skype seems to have blank white tooltips, while everything else has white text on black tooltips. is this a kde vs gnome thing? | 08:53 |
| pepee | what's wrong with 'sudo su'? | 08:53 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | Hi, I'm completely new to ubuntu/linux everything non-Windows, and I need some help figuring stuff out | 08:54 |
| pepee | I know how to use my computer, bash and linux | 08:54 |
| red2kic | pepee: sudo -i (similar to sudo su - , gives you roots environment configuration) | 08:54 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | ubuntu apparently doesn't know what to do with x.D. card readers, and I'm trying to make sense of the documentation | 08:54 |
| Exavion | jekor`: There are also some GUI interfaces in the repos that can automatically rebuild the grub bootlist, and let you see it, if Windows does not show up, one of the config files is either marked non-executable or is improperly set | 08:54 |
| pepee | red2kic, and the differences are... ? | 08:55 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | apparently this is relevant: http://alauda.sourceforge.net/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage but I'm completely clueless about what to do next | 08:55 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | help? | 08:55 |
| red2kic | !root | pepee | 08:55 |
| ubottu | pepee: 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 | 08:55 |
| Gryllida | Okay, I've set background color to ffffff in the links2 text browser, this preference saved, but the webpages still have it grey (as it was by default, e0e0e0). How to fix? | 08:55 |
| jekor` | Exavion: Thanks. | 08:55 |

| Gryllida | get a / at beginning | 08:56 |
| raoarsalan | every one | 08:56 |
| theadmin | pepee: If you use "sudo su", it will mess up permissions on some files, from what I know. I just know it's bad and that's enough for me lol | 08:56 |
| kris_ | thanks | 08:56 |
| Gryllida | kris_: /quit | 08:56 |
| Gryllida | yay | 08:56 |
| theadmin | kris_: Try "/quit" | 08:56 |
| kris_ | thanks Gryllida | 08:56 |
| om26er | which channel is for kernel? | 08:56 |

| ennui | can anyone suggest a fan speed config package? I'd prefer a GUI but CL is fine | 08:56 |
| pepee | I know it can be dangerous too | 08:56 |
| JoMs | pepee: when you use sudo su you often will be sitting a little while to chown fils/folders and so on. for instance, you can't start munin with sudo. that will make the whole thing go bananas | 08:56 |
| rethus | java is installed | 08:56 |
| kris_ | ok, now that I'm here, let me ask a question before I quit. | 08:57 |
| pepee | JoMs, what's munin? | 08:57 |
| kris_ | I recently uninstalled GDM to try out XDM | 08:57 |
| rethus | pepee: monitoring system | 08:57 |
| iceroot | pepee: please dont say you know how to handle something if using sudo su. come back and tell us you know how to do something if you are using sudo -i | 08:58 |
| JoMs | pepee: a program that makes graphs from your e.g. server. it shows CPU usage, disc-usage, network and a lot more | 08:58 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | can anyone help me install whatever i need to install to get ubuntu to read/write x.D. cards? (maybe this is relevant http://alauda.sourceforge.net/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage) | 08:58 |
| pepee | JoMs, like top? | 08:58 |
| rethus | in my firefox java didn't work. what can i do? | 08:58 |
| JoMs | pepee: http://munin-monitoring.org/ | 08:58 |
| JoMs | a bit better than top I'd say | 08:58 |
| iceroot | rethus: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 08:59 |

| JoMs | pepee: never tried | 08:59 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | guess no one can/will | 08:59 |
| kris_ | and now, when i start the computer, the mouse pointer doesnt show | 08:59 |
| Headbomb|Laptop | adios all, sorry for wasting your time | 08:59 |
| JoMs | Headbomb|Laptop: look for hardware drivers or something | 09:00 |

| pepee | JoMs, obviously, killing some processes having root is crazy... | 09:00 |
| pepee | iceroot, what? | 09:00 |

| pepee | iceroot, I don't care | 09:01 |
| * waldy has reverted back to Karmic Koala, as 10.04 appears to be an unstable mistake that requires a bit of a revisit. Gnome is quite unstable in 10.04, and while there -are- workarounds - at the end of the day, ppl want an OS that works (even if it is for free :P) | 09:01 | |
| iceroot | pepee: no, sudo su is setting the environment not correctly | 09:01 |
| iceroot | pepee: but i care if someone here is saying untrue things to others | 09:01 |

On Windows, when I press Fn+F2, a window is displayed and I can choose which wireless devices to turn on, but on Ubuntu nothing happens. Help please | 09:01 |

| rethus | iceroot: found no package that named : sun-java6-plugin | 09:01 |

| iceroot | pepee: yes but with sudo su you get the wrong environment, with sudo -i you get the correct one | 09:02 |
| amateur_hour | peep: try sudo su - | 09:02 |

| pepee | ok, so? | 09:04 |
| jmux | Hi. I'm on 8.04 LTS. I have a dhclient-exit hook, which fails, because udev starts the dhclient, which calls the hook before I have a writable local fs. How can I wait for the udev event inside my dhclient exit hook? | 09:04 |

| kris_ | let me ask this once more: I recently uninstalled and reinstalled gdm. Since then, my mouse pointer doesn't show up in the gdm at the start. It takes some time, and some amount of moving the mouse for the pointer to show up; even then it's not the usual pointer, but a 'x' one (I don't really care about that, if it shows up at the beginning). Any help to correct this would be appreciated. | 09:06 |

| pepee | JoMs, sudo mount -o sync,<other options> /dev/sdb | 09:18 |
| om26er | Maximum_, open the directory where those debs are take an image of the dir and upload it to imagebin.org and give the link | 09:18 |
| Maximum_ | no, because it didn't install | 09:18 |

| JoMs | and lsof and fuser don't give me any answer | 09:20 |
| Daniel- | theadmin: rezise is geyed out :( | 09:20 |
| theadmin | JoMs: Can you reboot the machine and see if it works from there? | 09:20 |
| theadmin | Daniel-: Disable swap first... what is the partition adress (e.g. /dev/sda2) | 09:20 |
| JoMs | theadmin: it's a server so I don't want to reboot it. I know it would work but I'll do as much as I can before rebooting | 09:21 |
| Daniel- | theadmin: there is a "lock" on all the partitions | 09:21 |
| theadmin | JoMs: Oh, I see. | 09:21 |
| pepee | JoMs, dbus may be using (or whatever it does with) that disk... | 09:21 |
| theadmin | Daniel-: That's obvious, they are mounted | 09:21 |
| red2kic | JoMs: "-l --> Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore." | 09:21 |

| Juniksz | hello. Which application can I use to add words in a mid/kar file? | 09:26 |
| zubin71 | some help pls? | 09:26 |
| red2kic | zubin71: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" | 09:26 |
| zubin71 | red2kic, just curious, is there a reason packages are kept back? | 09:26 |
| red2kic | zubin71: They're held back because the new updates requires additional new packages (rather than updating the packages alone). This is a safety measure to ensure you're aware of what's happening. | 09:27 |
| Gryllida | zubin71: because they're not compatible with the kernel you updated to? I think they are mostly drivers, no? | 09:27 |
| encoder | guys, i'm using ubuntu 10 and i accidentally removed the sound tray icon from the panel. Right-click panel and "Add to Panel" doesn't show that sound option. How can i put it back? | 09:27 |

| JoMs | encoder: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392387 | 09:27 |
| Gryllida | encoder, it's 'activity applet', add it as 'add to panel' thing, right | 09:27 |
| zubin71 | red2kic, um, so there is a risk for crashing, something like that? | 09:27 |
| zubin71 | Gryllida, new kernel versions actually | 09:28 |
| zubin71 | Gryllida, so i guess driver updates maybe? | 09:28 |

| Daniel- | ok we have created a new swap partition via gparted live CD but how do we mount it? | 10:22 |
| Daniel- | and how do we add it to fstab? | 10:22 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: Yo | 10:22 |
| pepee | bullgard, oh, well, I have no idea... | 10:22 |
| elnur | My maximum sound is too low. Any help? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | Daniel- | 10:23 |
| ubottu | Daniel-: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 10:23 |
| red2kic | hayfever: Oh you did. Hmm. wine file.exe -- See what kind of errors you have been getting. Also, there are !appdb (to see if the program can be run in wine) | 10:23 |
| bullgard | pepee: :-) | 10:23 |
| Daniel- | yes | 10:23 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, that gives me some output about how all config files should have conf and will be deprecated (relevant?), but it does not give me wlan0 back | 10:23 |
| Daniel- | but how do we mount it? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | elnur: run: alsamixer ,and crank the sliders | 10:23 |
| hayfever | red2kic, yes I've checked it. It's "suposed" to work. | 10:23 |
| sunta | Daniel-, swapon /dev/yourpartition | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Daniel-: if it's in fstab: sudo mount -a | 10:23 |
| pepee | Tobias92, again: sudo iwconfig | 10:23 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, lo and eth0, but no wlan0 | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Tobias92: the file in /etc/modprobe.d you made must end in .conf | 10:24 |
| pepee | hmm | 10:24 |
| jtheuer | hi, need some help, system does not boot because /dev/pts is missing - dev is a tmpfs filesystem, so how can I create the mountpoint before booting? | 10:24 |
| red2kic | hayfever: Join #winehq for application help. They have more experiences on wine alone. | 10:24 |
| pepee | Tobias92, dmesg | tail | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Tobias92: if it doesn't then rename it | 10:24 |
| pepee | Tobias92, dmesg | tail | pastebinit | 10:24 |
| geekphreak | got it working, thanks guys :) | 10:25 |
| hayfever | red2kic, ok, but the problem is with ubuntu complaining about the file not being safe. | 10:25 |
| pepee | you need to install pastebinit... | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | geekphreak: yay. Now if you go up a level you can drag the folder to the left panel and it will appear in the places menu | 10:25 |
| geekphreak | ActionParsnip and sunta thank you | 10:25 |
| geekphreak | ActionParsnip: yup and i can get all my files there | 10:26 |
| phawx | i just uninstalled compiz and now i have no max/min window buttons on anything. | 10:26 |
| coolstacy | sunta:its taking lot of time to download. | 10:26 |
| phawx | how can i fix this | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | geekphreak: yeah the whole network thing never works here so I use manual method like that. Much easier | 10:26 |
| pepee | !ask | phawx | 10:26 |
| ubottu | phawx: 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. :-) | 10:26 |
| sunta | coolstacy, damn AOL surfer | 10:26 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, http://pastebin.com/817DppMJ | 10:26 |
| red2kic | hayfever: I read you. I don't know what I can say to that. Looks like a bug if you already have enabled it as executeable. | 10:26 |
| pepee | sorry, didn't see you already asked... | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Phawx: the thing you are missing is the window decorator | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | phawx: i'd ask in #compiz | 10:27 |

| pepee | Tobias92, does eth0 have wireless extensions? | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Tobias92: as long as they all end in .conf it will be fine :) | 10:28 |
| hayfever | red2kic, thank you for your help though. | 10:28 |
| geekphreak | pepee: dont think so | 10:28 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, I don't know, but there used to be a wlan0 up there | 10:28 |
| pepee | Tobias92, dmesg | tail -40 | pastebinit | 10:28 |
| red2kic | hayfever: No problem. I'd ask in #winehq and see what they have to say about it. | 10:28 |
| geekphreak | pepee: see anything in iwconfig | 10:28 |

| Speakers | how do I force close a program that won't close? | 10:34 |
| Speakers | in ubuntu | 10:34 |
| pepee | ah | 10:34 |
| sebsebseb | Speakers: xkill | 10:34 |
| sebsebseb | Speakers: in the terminal, then click on it | 10:34 |
| sunta | Speakers, kill -9 PID | 10:34 |
| sunta | Speakers, killall -9 programname | 10:34 |
| pepee | killall -9 whatever | 10:34 |
| ytaews | I think my HDD has failed - I can boot ubuntu and it works for a little while but it freezes up eventually and the HDD light remains on. SMART tells me I have a few bad sectors, the benchmark doesn't work because it fails less than halfway through. Is there anything I can do to see what the problem is until I buy a new drive on Friday? | 10:34 |
| sebsebseb | Speakers: my way is the easiest | 10:34 |
| pepee | but yes, xkill is very useful | 10:34 |
| sebsebseb | Speakers: with the others you have to know the number of the process | 10:35 |
| indus | Speakers, always add the force kill applet to panel, its very useful | 10:35 |
| Speakers | wprked | 10:35 |
| pepee | Tobias92, are you there? | 10:35 |
| Speakers | it was an alarm problem | 10:35 |
| sebsebseb | Speakers: or you could like, killlall firefox for example, but for your program you must have the exact name of the proccess or killlall won't work | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ytaews: grab the ultimate boot cd and check the drive using the manufacturers tool | 10:35 |
| Speakers | Kalarm wouldn't go away | 10:35 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, yes, did I miss something? | 10:35 |
| pepee | Tobias92, sorry... tail -50 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit | 10:35 |
| Speakers | xkill guys | 10:35 |

| hackemat1 | some clue to my issue? i'm stuck at this point | 10:37 |
| ytaews | ActionParsnip: Cheers, it looks alright, but I can only work properly from a live CD right now. I only have one CD drive so how would I create an ultimate boot cd? | 10:37 |
| sebsebseb | oliver_: no not so good for those, as far as I know, but you can Wine a load of Windows games | 10:37 |
| pepee | Tobias92, try installing wicd | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | oliver_: also check: http://www.playdeb.net | 10:37 |
| pepee | Tobias92, networkManager may interfere with wicd... | 10:38 |
| elnur | ActionParsnip, already did that. no result | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ytaews: not sure how cd burning works in live environment. May take another pc if its not possible | 10:38 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, are you sure that can help when iwlist scanning gives no networks, too? | 10:38 |
| oliver_ | thank you , i will to playdeb.net | 10:38 |
| ytaews | ActionParsnip: Good point, I didn't think of that. I'll go burn it on my brother's laptop, cheers. | 10:38 |
| pepee | Tobias92, if iwlist doesn't lisst networks, then you are right | 10:39 |
| pepee | is a problem with the card/drivers... | 10:39 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, on a brand new laptop, too :( | 10:39 |
| hackemat1 | well, i found it, thanks | 10:39 |

| abhinav_singh | hey can any one tell me any good book to learn Ubuntu from starting level to advanced level | 10:41 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. Is that relevant? | 10:42 |
| sunta | abhinav_singh, what language? | 10:42 |
| sebsebseb | !manual | abhinav_singh | 10:42 |
| ubottu | abhinav_singh: 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/ | 10:42 |
| abhinav_singh | English | 10:42 |
| sebsebseb | abhinav_singh: Ubuntu Pocket Guide | 10:42 |
| pepee | Tobias92, yeah, try 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' a couple times again | 10:42 |
| * om26er thinks there is no need for a book | 10:42 | |
| ActionParsnip | abhinav_singh: just use the OS. It will teach you a lot more than any document or book can show you | 10:43 |
| * pepee learned "the hard way"... | 10:43 | |
| abhinav_singh | sebsebseb: is is available in pdf format? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | om26er: +1 dude | 10:43 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: both are | 10:43 |
| sebsebseb | abhinav_singh: both are | 10:43 |
| sebsebseb | om26er: there is for some people, since they won't just well learn, by using the software | 10:44 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, if you suspect that triggers the message, apparently it does not | 10:44 |
| abhinav_singh | I am new to linux...i know most of the commands....i want to learn more commands from starting level to advanced level | 10:44 |
| sebsebseb | !commands | abhinav_singh | 10:44 |
| ubottu | abhinav_singh: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | abhinav_singh: its like these admins who do a lot of courses but are rubbish when it comes to real life systems. Books only show you so much. Using the system will teach you more and will teach you better | 10:44 |
| coolstacy | sunta: download complete,but it is just showing a blue screen with amarok logo. | 10:44 |
| pepee | Tobias92, you can see more of those messages? | 10:44 |
| pepee | Tobias92, press F again | 10:45 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, none of those on the bottom of the log | 10:45 |
| sunta | coolstacy, lemme install it quick. | 10:45 |
| sunta | coolstacy, should display more then its logo | 10:45 |
| coolstacy | sunta: i am unable to rid of the screen. | 10:46 |
| pepee | Tobias92, I've never seen somthing like this before... | 10:46 |
| sunta | coolstacy open console and killall -9 amarok | 10:46 |
| pepee | the module isn't something new, so it must be working fine | 10:47 |
| EmilioTucci | Hi all | 10:47 |
| EmilioTucci | anybody know where the heck are the background pictures stored? I checked all the hidden folders under my /home directory but no luck! | 10:47 |
| EmilioTucci | thanks | 10:47 |
| remanifest | /usr/share/backgrounds | 10:47 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, on the forums somebody complained that it broke down when upgrading to lucid from karmic. So I tried booting into karmic, but no luck there either | 10:47 |
| pepee | Tobias92, install this packages and reboot: linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-23-generic | 10:48 |
| EmilioTucci | remanifest, /usr? weird location | 10:48 |
| sunta | coolstacy, are you sure its only displaying the logo? upon 1st start I get the logo and a configure screen | 10:48 |
| sunta | KWallet its called | 10:48 |
| coolstacy | sunta: ya ,the screen went off,now i have got screen KDE wallet service. | 10:48 |
| EmilioTucci | remanifest, ok thanks, I was thinking to be more logical under the home user directory, but anyways | 10:48 |
| remanifest | EmilioTucci: Not really... been that way since I remember (10 years or so)... but you can also store your own backgrounds in ~/ if you like | 10:49 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, on it now | 10:49 |
| pepee | k | 10:49 |
| sunta | coolstacy, go through that wallet thing | 10:49 |
| EmilioTucci | remanifest, this is the first time I try UBuntu.. | 10:49 |
| coolstacy | sunta : it has 2 opt basic setup and advance, should i continue. | 10:49 |
| sunta | coolstacy, i dont know about kwallet. i chose advanced and ->ok->ok->ok | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | EmilioTucci: if you are changing your wallpaper you can click the add button and use one from anywhere you like. You don't need to put the image(s) in the backgrounds folder by any means | 10:50 |
| pepee | just disable kwallet... | 10:50 |
| remanifest | EmilioTucci: Ahh ok, /usr/share is just a place where a lot of "common files" are stored. They can be accessed by all user accounts. Makes sense for when you want all users to have access to a file. | 10:50 |
| EmilioTucci | ActionParsnip, remanifest thanks guys | 10:50 |
| pepee | kwallet is annoying | 10:51 |
| remanifest | np bro | 10:51 |
| red2kic | EmilioTucci: nautilus-wallpaper is nice extension. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | EmilioTucci: here to help :D | 10:51 |
| remanifest | Anyone here familiar with Evolution? I'm trying to get it to respect Chromium as the browser | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: assuming nautilus is used... | 10:51 |
| red2kic | ActionParsnip: Yes. And it's his first time using Ubuntu. :P | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | remanifest: is it set as the default browser in preferences of the OS | 10:52 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, done | 10:52 |
| coolstacy | sunta: i selected basic opt and now it say "yes,i wish to use KDE wallet to store my personal information" should i go with this or back and select advance setup. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: might be using kubuntu or xubuntu :P | 10:52 |
| sunta | coolstacy, stay with that | 10:52 |
| remanifest | ActionParsnip: As far as I know - I'm using Lubuntu | 10:52 |
| sunta | coolstacy, its nothing evil, just KDE;) | 10:52 |
| pepee | Tobias92, did it work? | 10:52 |
| pepee | I just ended hating KDE | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Reanifest: let me seach. Lubuntu is awesome :) | 10:53 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, afraid not | 10:53 |
| sunta | pepee, just? im over it 10yrs | 10:53 |
| pepee | it's becoming annoying by itself | 10:53 |
| pepee | I don't like kwallet, I don't like dolphin, I don't like the way some things are managed | 10:53 |
| remanifest | ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's great - all the goodness of openbox plus a bunch of practical utils for functionality. It's awesome on my netbook :) | 10:53 |
| pepee | some friends says is worst for kubuntu | 10:54 |

| Smirnoff | Hello, how to install skype ? | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Help shape it | 10:54 |
| pepee | Tobias92, well, no idea, sorry :( | 10:54 |
| sunta | Smirnoff, go to skype homepage. it will offer .deb-package for ubuntu | 10:55 |
| pepee | tobias, cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit | 10:55 |
| Tobias92 | pepee, thanks for your effort anyway. I'll try some more :) | 10:55 |
| pepee | Tobias92, ^^ | 10:55 |
| pepee | Tobias92, you can compile those modules by yourself... | 10:55 |
| remanifest | ActionParsnip: Those days are about 8-10 years behind me nowadays... I contributed to Slackware back in the day, but now I'm really busy with school unfortunately | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | remanifest: could try: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/chromium-browser /usr/bin/firefox | 10:55 |
| sunta | Smirnoff, this might work too in a console: sudo apt-get install skype | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | remanifest: bit of a hack but should fly | 10:56 |
| pepee | it isn't easy... (at least for a noob user) | 10:56 |
| pepee | It wasn't for me, but it's funny to break your system and repair it LOL | 10:56 |
| unop | ActionParsnip, I would use the alternatives system to do this -- that way it is easy to revert and list alternatives. | 10:56 |
| pepee | you can't do that with windows | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Unop: given but I'm not sure of the syntax and I know it'll work as all apps assume people use crappy firefox | 10:57 |
| coolstacy | sunta: no, its not working its not reading my songs. | 10:58 |
| alex87 | man ubuntu is nice now | 10:58 |
| zulgaban | damn my ubuntu postfix mail server power supply unit blew up +.+ last night while i was sending mail out. email didn't get through... | 10:58 |
| sunta | coolstacy, ofcourse you need to add music to the amarok library. im sure you find your war | 10:59 |
| sunta | way | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Alex87: linux as a whole generally is | 10:59 |

| indus | Gordon_Gekko, df | 10:59 |

| zulgaban | df -h | 11:00 |
| alex87 | ActionParsnip, yeah, but you know how much of a pain it can be. skype and pulse audio just worked for me then! | 11:00 |
| coolstacy | sunta: what is this, be simple on this. | 11:00 |
| zulgaban | -h stands for human XD | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Alex87: I don't use skype so couldn't comment there | 11:00 |
| indus | Gordon_Gekko, in terminal | 11:00 |
| remanifest | ActionParsnip: lol, that was a sneaky little trick, and it worked well. Had to move firefox to firefox-browser before the symbolic link would take, but now it's working great. Thanks! | 11:00 |
| indus | yes human | 11:00 |
| ztf | "VPN start failed" | 11:00 |
| koshari | Gordon_Gekko fdisk -l | 11:00 |

| alex87 | ActionParsnip, well you can imagine. just saying, ubuntu has gotten a lot of things to work very well | 11:00 |
| Gordon_Gekko | thank you all for your answers! | 11:00 |
| indus | DF -H AND DF -h show slightly different zulgaban | 11:01 |

| pepee | oh sorry | 11:02 |
| pepee | ok | 11:02 |
| coolstacy | sunta: when i click on update collection it does not do anything. | 11:02 |
| indus | pepee, you from india is it | 11:02 |
| Christopher | What is the easiest way for me to backup my important files in Ubuntu? Mostly the ones in my home folder. | 11:02 |
| pepee | indus, nope | 11:02 |
| hotfloppy | one thing i dont like about 10.04 liveCD is there is no option to try, install or boot from 1st harddisk before the cd boot into live session.. got to wait for cd the to fully bot, choose try and restart from live session.. not a big deal, but its such a pain in the a$$ for me.. just my 2cents.. | 11:02 |

| hotfloppy | remanifest: nope, just the usual liveCD.. | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Hotfloppy: its there, its just hiding | 11:04 |
| hotfloppy | ActionParsnip: you mean on the GUI menu ? or on POST ? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Hotfloppy: when you see the greyish screen with the keyboard/stickman at the bottom, press spaceba | 11:04 |
| hotfloppy | ActionParsnip: oic.. understood.. | 11:04 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| hotfloppy | ActionParsnip: its on the dot dot loading thing eh ? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hotfloppy: I think before that. It also allows you to check the cd for defectas | 11:05 |
| coolstacy | sunta: r u there. | 11:05 |

| MACscr | is there a wordpad like app for ubuntu? im looking for something with formating, so a bit better than gedit, but lighter than open office word processor | 11:05 |
| hotfloppy | ActionParsnip: and the menu like old version will be shown ? | 11:06 |
| jmgg | jjjjjj | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | hotfloppy: exactly :D | 11:06 |
| coolstacy | sunta; what may be the problem. | 11:06 |
| indus | cant believe there is no good gui backup tool in linux | 11:07 |
| vu1kan | MACscr you could just use wordpad with wine | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: why do you need a gui | 11:07 |
| MACscr | vu1kan: i dont think such a hackish method is needed | 11:07 |
| indus | i hate command line, | 11:07 |
| Gordon_Gekko | Thank you all for your help :) | 11:07 |
| indus | i like visual tools | 11:07 |

| indus | bye | 11:08 |
| zcat[1] | I can't believe there's no good gui backup too either. | 11:08 |
| hotfloppy | ActionParsnip: how do you know about those spacebar thing ? where you get the info ? | 11:08 |
| zcat[1] | simple backup perhaps? | 11:08 |

| sunta | coolstacy, you need to add music to amarok. your question in 1st place was how to install amarok, i believe we did install successful | 11:08 |
| zcat[1] | !info simplebackup | 11:08 |
| ubottu | simplebackup (source: simplebackup): Simple backup tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.4-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 10 kB, installed size 84 kB | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: there is massive power to be had in command line | 11:08 |
| indus | ActionParsnip, power can be misused :D | 11:08 |
| Gordon_Gekko | indus, yes it is... great movies!! can't wait to see the sequel | 11:08 |
| sunta | coolstacy, do this as well: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg | 11:08 |
| zcat[1] | that's at least one very simple but powerful GUI backup tool | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hotfloppy: saw it on a post in launchpad, so now I use it to tell folks how to check their install cds are ok if thet have install issues | 11:09 |
| zcat[1] | I know there are others | 11:09 |
| indus | Gordon_Gekko, is there a sequel ? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hotfloppy: also the image on the screen gives it away ;) | 11:09 |

| indus | zcat[1], is that a gui tool ? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | indus | 11:09 |
| ubottu | indus: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 11:09 |
| Gordon_Gekko | indus, yes it is coming out this year | 11:10 |
| indus | all i hear about is rsync all the time , thats command line | 11:10 |
| indus | Gordon_Gekko, ok off topic for here :) | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: just cron an rsync to a remote filesystem. The backup will be fine | 11:10 |
| zcat[1] | indus: you haven't looked very hard. Open synaptic, search for 'backup' | 11:10 |
| indus | zcat[1], ok | 11:10 |
| Gordon_Gekko | indus, hehe I know!! thank you again! | 11:10 |
| Gordon_Gekko | bye :) | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: there's grsync which will give the command which you can put in a script, then use gnome-schedule to run that script | 11:11 |
| clarezoe | hi, I cannot connect to internet neither wired nor wireless, I don't know where to start, please help | 11:11 |
| red2kic | indus: GUI? "sbackup" | 11:11 |
| Bluh | How do you check the md5sum of a disk? | 11:11 |
| indus | sbackup hmm | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Clarezoe: if you run: ping 8.8.8.8 ,do you get replys? | 11:11 |
| zcat[1] | If you're doing network backups you can still mount the remote filesystem and use simple backup.. | 11:11 |
| indus | woohoo found it | 11:11 |
| indus | thanks | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | bluh | 11:11 |

| clarezoe | ActionParsnip, thanks. I got Network is unreachable | 11:12 |
| Bluh | Ty | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: I suggest you learn and use cli. It runs circles around gui nonesense | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Clarezoe: ok are you using wired or wireless? | 11:12 |
| indus | ActionParsnip, i know , i know a few commands but iam not a sys admin | 11:12 |
| coolstacy | sunta: ya, know the song is playing but no sound. | 11:12 |
| clarezoe | ActionParsnip, I'm using wired, but seems my wireless is on but I cannot turn it off. | 11:13 |
| zcat[1] | ActionParsnip: I suggest you learn what GUI tools are available in Ubuntu, most new users have a strange fear of the command line and will simply go back to what they're familiar with if you tell them they must use the CLI | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Indus: so aren't many others but simple scripts and loops can make duplicated tasks happen while you webbrowse | 11:13 |
| sunta | coolstacy, you need to configure the sound device, though I cannot really help on this | 11:13 |
| indus | ActionParsnip, tell me some 5 cool scripts you use for everyday use | 11:13 |
| sunta | btw. I have solved auth_ldap on apache2.2 myselves | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | zcat[1]: I'm trying to educate as command line can give huge power. Don't treat users like scared sheep or they will never use it and realise what it can do | 11:14 |

| zcat[1] | I'v enever understood it, but I am constantly running into people who say "I tried Ubuntu but everything has to be done in the command line so I gave up" -- and they were trying to do simple things that simply did not have to be done in the command line at all. | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: backupsys puts all the stuff from my system to my fileserver using rsync. | 11:16 |
| bullgard | cfdisk shows 2 partition names: »sdb1p1« and »sdb2p5«. '~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' shows only one partition: '/dev/sdb1 16 14805 3911744 b W95 FAT32'. Who can explain this contradiction? | 11:16 |
| coolstacy | sunta: ya its lot of help from u ,thanks for that,but in amarok we have option to test sound and while testing it i can hear the piano sound, but not my songs,don't no why .well i will look after it,thanks for ur useful hepl. | 11:16 |

| indus | red2kic, you have different gas prices at diff outlets? | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: I guess, makes the world go around | 11:18 |
| indus | red2kic, here its controlled | 11:18 |
| indus | ActionParsnip, true heh , i do use command line sometimes , back in ubuntu 6.06 had to use a lot of those | 11:18 |

| zcat[1] | indus: the command line is very powerful, but also you really can do just about anything from the GUI as well | 11:19 |

| radi | who the hell needs 8gb of ram Oo | 11:55 |
| qopi | wierd, the volume was already turned right down but the noise was still playing. When I selected mute it did indeed mute it, but then when I unselected it the noise has still gone, i.e. the volume slider appeared to suddenly start working again! | 11:55 |
| === gui_ is now known as kryl | ||
| Glaucous | radi, got it cheap from a friend. Otherwise, no, no one :P | 11:55 |
| erUSUL | BlaDe: try reinstalling gvfs-backends and gvfs packages | 11:55 |
| indus | Glaucous, did you type , cat /proc/cpu/info in terminal | 11:55 |
| kryl | g nickserv identify powah | 11:55 |
| radi | :) | 11:55 |
| gnat_x | is there a meta package that i can purge to uninstall all of xorg and programs that depend on it? i have an old box with lucid that i need to press into service as a router, and i would rather not waste the overhead on X. | 11:55 |
| kryl | hate ubuntu lol | 11:55 |
| longkid | how can I know Linux driver version? | 11:55 |
| indus | radi type sensors in terminal again | 11:56 |
| erUSUL | kryl: change your password... wverybody has seen it | 11:56 |
| radi | indus, same output | 11:56 |
| kryl | lol :) | 11:56 |
| bastid_raZor | gnat_x: you're using Ubuntu/gnome? | 11:56 |
| BlaDe | okay erUSUL | 11:56 |
| gnat_x | i looked at gdm and ubuntu-desktop, though both of those remove shockingly little. | 11:56 |
| indus | radi thats enough then | 11:56 |
| Glaucous | indus, yes and it says that there are 2 cpu cores | 11:56 |
| indus | Glaucous, can i see the putput | 11:56 |
| indus | output :) | 11:56 |
| radi | indus, i mean same output as before | 11:56 |
| indus | radi ah ok | 11:57 |
| gnat_x | bastid_raZor: yes, its a fairly vanilla install of ubuntu. | 11:57 |

| indus | radi did read it somewhere, wait | 11:57 |
| BlaDe | What other packages erUSUL, I'm removing gvfs as we speak | 11:58 |
| bastid_raZor | gnat_x: you could follow this link and just do the uninstall of gnome.. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 11:58 |
| Type-O | gnat_x, I would litterally go into synaptic and start removing main packages like xorg, it should clean it down really well | 11:58 |
| Type-O | gnat_x, or that | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | BlaDe: removing? reinstalling i said ... anyway gvfs-backends and gvfs | 11:58 |
| BlaDe | gvfs-backends isn't installed, perhaps that was the problem? | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | BlaDe: is what « dpkg -S /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors » returns | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | BlaDe: probably | 11:58 |
| gnat_x | bastid_raZor, Type-O thanks. i was thinking along those lines as well. i would have thought the "ubuntu-desktop" package would properly list xorg as dependency. | 11:59 |
| * gnat_x should file a bug. | 11:59 | |
| glaucous_ | indus, I just noticed something in cpuinfo. It shows that I have two processors with two cores each, so perhaps it's somewhat correct? http://pastebin.com/dWrUfEuM | 11:59 |
| bastid_raZor | gnat_x: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. it doesn't do what you think. | 11:59 |
| bazhang | gnat_x, ubuntu-desktop is simply a metapackage removing won't remove others | 12:00 |
| bazhang | !metapackage > gnat_x | 12:00 |
| ubottu | gnat_x, please see my private message | 12:00 |
| bastid_raZor | glaucous_: quad core is vastly different from quad processors | 12:01 |
| glaucous_ | bastid_raZor, of course | 12:01 |
| glaucous_ | bastid_raZor, but is there a big difference in how Ubuntu manages it? | 12:02 |
| vu1kan | is it possible to customize the resolutions i can scroll through using ctrl+alt+(num+/-)? | 12:02 |
| gnat_x | hrm. i thought meta packages worked in both directions, pulling in dependencies, and also marking them as such, but i guess not in the sense of a regular package. guess i was wrong. | 12:02 |
| BlaDe | erUSUL, done and it still says the same | 12:02 |
| erUSUL | BlaDe: then i dunno :( | 12:02 |
| BlaDe | how do you resintall? i just did apt-get remove/install | 12:03 |
| bastid_raZor | glaucous_: /proc/cpuinfo is showing you the processors.. not cores | 12:03 |
| glaucous_ | bastid_raZor, it shows me Processor 0 and Processor 1, and on each of them it also says: "cpu cores: 2" | 12:04 |
| rww | gnat_x: Ubuntu's default configuration unmarks depends of a metapackage when you remove the metapackage. | 12:04 |
| bastid_raZor | glaucous_: okay. | 12:05 |
| rww | gnat_x: or something weird like that, anyway. It's a behavior I don't like and turn off, so I don't know the details. | 12:05 |
| Kartagis | do you guys happen to know of a tool that allows me to grab the ID3 tag of an mp3 file? | 12:12 |
| slow-motion | hi | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: there are id3 taggers in the repo | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: all will allow you to grab the tag | 12:13 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, I installed mp3info but that works with ID3 1.x ? | 12:14 |
| loopidity | is is possible to log into usb modems? or like AP? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: should do | 12:14 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, do you know of one that works with ID3 2.x ? | 12:15 |
| Slart | loopidity: it would depend on the designers.. probably not though | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: most do, check out the descriptions when you search | 12:15 |
| loopidity | Slart is there a standard ip like the routers? for ppp | 12:15 |
| Slart | loopidity: in the old days you could communicate with the modem using at-commands and such.. change settings and whatnot | 12:15 |
| loopidity | like 192.168.1.1 | 12:15 |
| erUSUL | !find id3 | Kartagis | 12:15 |
| ubottu | Kartagis: Found: libid3-3.8.3-dev, libid3-3.8.3c2a, libid3tag0, libid3tag0-dev, audacious-dbg (and 17 others) | 12:15 |
| Slart | loopidity: standard ip for routers? | 12:16 |
| freeride | guys please advice icq aim client (except empathy pidgin kopete) | 12:16 |
| loopidity | nevermind | 12:16 |
| Slart | loopidity: oh.. but that's not standard.. that's like the starting page standard is www.google.com... sure many people have it that way but it's far far from a standard | 12:16 |
| loopidity | like i can log into my router, can i also log into my usb modem | 12:17 |
| iceroot | freeride: bitlbee (but you will not like it) so its not a good idea to ask for "best" applikations | 12:17 |
| loopidity | and maybe see the logs? | 12:17 |
| iceroot | loopidity: have a look at the manual from that device | 12:17 |
| Nikon | is it safe to clear out everything in /var/log? | 12:17 |
| freeride | iceroot why i won't? | 12:17 |
| Random832 | Nikon: why? | 12:18 |
| abhinav_singh | I have latest version of ubuntu installed on my laptop..when i lock the screen it gets hanged........... how to solve this problem???????????????? | 12:18 |
| iceroot | freeride: its an irc-server :) | 12:18 |
| Random832 | abhinav_singh: don't lock the screen? | 12:18 |
| Nikon | Random832: the logs have been growing exponentially for some reason | 12:18 |
| freeride | iceroot i don't ask for the best, i ask for any application | 12:18 |
| Random832 | are you sure it's locking rather than putting in sleep mode that's the problem? | 12:18 |
| iceroot | freeride: for acting as an icq, jabber, yahoo, msn client | 12:18 |
| Random832 | Nikon: find out which specific log has been growing 'exponentially' | 12:18 |
| Nikon | Random832: 100 mb every 5 min | 12:18 |
| erUSUL | !find icq | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Found: licq, licq-dev, licq-plugin-autoreply, licq-plugin-console, licq-plugin-forwarder (and 7 others) | 12:18 |
| iceroot | freeride: then irssi + screen + bitlbee as icq-client | 12:18 |
| freeride | iceroot yeah, you're right! | 12:18 |
| * Random832 notes that what you describe is actually linear growth, but i digress | 12:18 | |
| bastid_raZor | people still use icq? | 12:18 |
| freeride | iceroot thanks! | 12:19 |
| freeride | bastid_raZor Yeah i do | 12:19 |
| Random832 | Nikon: just deleting the file won't solve the problem, so you'll need to find out what one it is anyway | 12:19 |
| Freyr | is there a utility for exporting pdf files to open office spreadsheet files ? | 12:19 |
| abhinav_singh | Random832... when i lock the screen ,some times it gets hanged.... not every time | 12:19 |
| Nikon | ok | 12:19 |
| Nikon | 1s | 12:19 |
| freeride | bastid_raZor as anyone in my country | 12:19 |
| erUSUL | Nikon: something is spamming the logs find the root cause | 12:19 |
| bastid_raZor | freeride: maybe the fad died out here. | 12:19 |
| Slart | Freyr: nope.. you can sometimes get text out of a pdf.. but even that isn't guaranteed | 12:19 |

| Nikon | im about to run out of disk space again >.< is it safe to clear : /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, and /var/log/user.log | 12:36 |
| Slart | Nikon: yes.. those are safe | 12:36 |
| iflema | Nikon yes | 12:36 |
| Nikon | thanks | 12:36 |
| inveratulo | Nikon: are those files really that big or do you just have a small disk | 12:37 |
| Nikon | both | 12:37 |
| IdleOne | vu1kan: create a new launcher and put in the command filed " firefox %u www.yahoo.ca " no quotes for example | 12:37 |
| kuttan_ | Nikon: install localepurge that will get back lots of space, check the size log files.. | 12:37 |
| Slart | Nikon: basically everything ending in .gz in /var/log can be deleted.. I think even *all* the files in /var/log can be deleted without any problems.. but you can start with the packed up, older stuff.. that's the .gz files | 12:37 |
| ````` | Dr_Willis: I'm sorry if this is an obvious corrolary, but can GRUB2 be customized as well? | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: that only seems to work with specific url's - i just tried it with www.google.com (it worked) but with www.google.com/ig it did not... | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | `````: of course it can. | 12:38 |
| ceno | Hey guys | 12:38 |
| Nikon | it is just those three | 12:38 |
| Nikon | and all of the pulseaudio errors | 12:38 |
| ceno | Anyone know how to properly disable journaling on ext4 filesystems? | 12:38 |
| Nikon | like iflema said | 12:38 |
| vu1kan | IdleOne, thx. that might work better, i want a link that opens in epiphany for a flash-based radio station | 12:38 |
| Nikon | im getting 30 pulseaudio erros a second | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ceno: when you format it to be ext4. it should make/enable the journal. | 12:38 |
| Slart | vu1kan: you can also create a launcher for gnome-open http://someurl/with/extra_stuff it should open in the default browser | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ceno: if you disable the journal.. well.. Not sure thats possible. | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ceno: that would basically be ext3 + some features.. which may not be doable IF it was allready formated as ext4 | 12:39 |
| kuttan_ | ceno disable journal , means ext2fs | 12:40 |
| geekphreak | Dr_Willis: howdy | 12:40 |
| Nikon | To put it in perspective, I just deleted syslog a minute ago and it is now 250mb and growing with pulseaudio errors | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Moo to geekphreak | 12:40 |
| geekphreak | mooo | 12:41 |
| ceno | Dr_Willis, I *think* it's possible, I think I saw a tutorial on a blog once, but I honestly don't remember. I think journaling is ruining performance on my system and I'd like to test it O_o | 12:41 |
| geekphreak | ceno: what are you trying to do/ | 12:41 |
| ceno | kuttan_, you're saying that ext4 without journaling is ext2? that's... not really the case | 12:41 |
| inveratulo | ceno: chances are its not journaling | 12:41 |
| ceno | inveratulo, could be, there's only way to find out | 12:42 |
| ceno | geekbuntu, disable journaling on ext4 | 12:42 |
| vu1kan | Slart, Dr_Willis, IdleOne, thx, got the custom launcher to do what i want | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ceno: i dont think that would be the case. I do recall reading on the wiki page for ext4 that ext4 is 'partially' backwards compatiable with ext3/2 there are features that you may be using in ext4 that would make it impossible for you to 'downgrade' it to ext2/3 | 12:42 |
| IdleOne | vu1kan: glad to hear it | 12:42 |
| kuttan_ | ceno : well theoretically its not the case , but essentially it amounts to that.. | 12:43 |
| geekphreak | howdy IdleOne , long time | 12:43 |
| IdleOne | hello geekphreak | 12:43 |
| kuttan_ | ceno , have you tried flags like norelatime in fstab | 12:43 |
| geekphreak | arvind_k: sir hello | 12:44 |
| skeeter101 | careiro: whenever you are ready......lol I am at a loss and standing by | 12:44 |

| Nikon | these two people seem to have the same problem | 12:46 |
| vu1kan | now, my next annoyance: is it possible to customize the resolutions you can scroll through using ctrl+alt+(num+/-)? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: ages ago it used to be.. but the use of those combo keys- is rather rarely used these days | 12:49 |
| vu1kan | Dr_Willis knuts...i'm just wanting to remove the display shortcut in my panel | 12:50 |
| Slart | vu1kan: I think those are the modelines defined in your xorg.conf.. if they aren't defined there xorg automatically generates them by talking to the graphics card and monitor.. you might be able to define the ones you want in your xorg.conf and hopefully only those will be enabled | 12:50 |
| vu1kan | but retain the ablity to swap res on the fly | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: how often are you really needing to change res? | 12:50 |
| vu1kan | Dr_Willis: three or four times a day...flash doesn't work in fullscreen since the update, so i use an inflated rez to emulate fullscreen on sites like megavideo | 12:51 |
| freakynl | hi, are there any scripts in ubuntu's repository to automatically run iptables save/restore? | 12:51 |
| abhi_nav | i have disabled the logoin sound from sys=admin=logins screen. but still it plays at each logoin. how to disable it? | 12:51 |
| vu1kan | Slart i'll try defining my desired modes and see if that does what i want | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: if you are using compiz there is a 'zoom' feature mouse wheel+windows key. | 12:52 |
| vu1kan | Dr_Willis...my video adapter's a Voodoo 3...old, old card, couldn't do compiz if you held a gun to it's head | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: egads.. im suprised flash even works on it :) that is ols. | 12:53 |
| theadmin | Does anyone know how to get the LinuxMint theme on Ubuntu? | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: there are some dock applets for xrandr also thats lets you change res. Or you could make some hotkeys that use xrandr | 12:54 |
| vu1kan | 16mb o' vram, baby. better than my nVidia Vanta-8mb | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: find the theme.. drag it your themes dir. (or the appearance tool and let it install it) | 12:54 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: As if it were that simple, as for where to find it... :/ I have no idea what is the name, used Linux Mint a long while ago | 12:54 |
| skeeter101 | ok guys, here is my issue, one ubuntu server with two nic cards, eth0 is internal with 192 ip, eth1 is external public ip....if both interfaces are up, I cannot hit the external ip, I must take down eth0 before I can hit eth1......anyone got any ideas? | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: boot up a mint live cd.. check tgheir themes dir.. | 12:55 |
| theadmin | !themes | 12:55 |

| Dr_Willis | theadmin: or check on gnome-look type sites. | 12:55 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: To get the liveCD, I'll have to waste time to download it, and I can't, I'm leaving in the evening | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: check their repos perhaps. | 12:56 |
| theadmin | Dr_Willis: "their" repos? Bah! They use same ones as Ubuntu | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: they have their own custome ones as well i recall. I seem to recall SOME app i used ages ago that did isntall the mint theme for me once... | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | theadmin: it Might of been gstyle, or epidermis | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | one of those grabbed a lot of differnt themes from 'somewhere' and let you install themn with a few clicks. | 12:57 |
| theadmin | !find gstyle | 12:57 |
| ubottu | File gstyle found in debian-installer, doc-linux-ja-html, dot2tex, extrema, gitg (and 11 others) | 12:57 |
| theadmin | ...huh. | 12:57 |
| VCoolio | abhi_nav: you'll need to do that as gdm user (you as user aren't active yet in the login screen; no use to disable the sound there; in terminal, enter this: sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 –-set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds –-type bool false | 12:57 |

| APS | Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Friend any clue Why I am getting such error? it was working till y'day | 13:03 |
| VCoolio | abhi_nav: gdm2 isn't as configurable yet as the old gdm; you can use https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup ; the tricky part is that the login screen doesn't belong to you as user but to gdm, so you can't edit it in your user's gconf-editor | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bergLNX: its very lijkely you used sudo to run it in the past.. and That put the wrong permissions on the dirs. You could just delete the dirs.. and rerun the app as a user. | 13:03 |

| Dr_Willis | theadmin: actually its a bit annoying in ways. :) what if i dont want the mint GDM/Plymouth stuff. :) but oh well. its just themes. | 13:05 |
| abhi_nav | VCoolio, what is the differencfe between gdm2setup and python-gdm2setup? which one i need? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | APS: oooh, that sounds serious, has it ever worked | 13:06 |
| APS | ikonia: you can check the output #http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/05JERuLX | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | dragon-eye: what to do - Totally depends on what it actually is. | 13:06 |
| bergLNX | Dr_Willis: hm, yeah ive been sudo running it a few times, but unfortunately deleting the folder didnt do much =/ it just recreated it, but still with limited access | 13:06 |
| APS | ikonia: yes it was working till y'day | 13:06 |
| ikonia | APS: what version of ubuntu is this | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | bergLNX: check your permissions on all the dirs in your users Home. they should be owned by your user, not root. | 13:06 |
| ikonia | APS: as it looks like vim is somehow working with ruby built for 486 - which none of the ubuntu packages are | 13:06 |
| APS | 10.04 | 13:06 |
| APS | ikonia: 10.04 I am using. | 13:07 |
| ikonia | APS: that looks most most odd | 13:07 |
| ikonia | APS: you've not got "vim-rails installed have you ? | 13:07 |
| APS | Yes so any clue what best I can do to fix the issue | 13:07 |

| APS | yes | 13:08 |
| APS | rails-vim is installed. | 13:08 |
| ikonia | APS: I think that's the issue - dump it | 13:08 |
| bergLNX | Dr_Willis: yeah, theyre all owned my me... | 13:08 |
| dragon-eye | sometime i download tar or gz file which written in C code. But i can't install it | 13:08 |

| s3r3n1t7 | unop, it's running virtualized on a private network. The software that's used from windows doesn't authenticate properly for *insert mystical reason here*, so i'm just trying to solve this another way. As the network is private between the VM's the security is not all that relevant. | 13:33 |

| Glowball | My Ubuntu 10.04 is having an extremely high load average (about 0.90 when doing completely nothing, except running top in a terminal (GNOME DE), right after boot plus a few minutes waiting to let it stabilize). I tried reinstalling it completely, but it didn't really help. | 13:35 |

| foxtrot | Hi, im installing ubuntu off an external USB cdrom, and it gets to the ubuntu with 5 red blinking dots under it, andthen after like 5-10 minutes all the dots go red and then thescreen flashesand goes black and stilll hasnt come back | 13:43 |
| foxtrot | anyonehaveanyideas | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj | kryptyk, yeah unfortunately redirecting audio to a USB device is a known problem | 13:44 |
| kryptyk | BluesKaj - the strange thing is that they worked fine previously. Then one day - nothing. Strangely enough, the volume controls on the headset adjust the system volume. But the sound subsystem does not see them as an output device | 13:45 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: use spaces properly, please, english is not japanese. As for that, LiveCD WILL take long to boot on old systems, and not only booting from CDrom is slow by itself, a USB CDrom is yet slower. | 13:45 |
| mataks | help i can't copy and paste file in my external USB, why is that? | 13:45 |
| theadmin | mataks: Permissions? | 13:45 |

| mataks | theadmin, how to access it? i am root | 13:46 |
| foxtrot | theadmin: the cdrom isnt even spinning anymore though | 13:46 |
| syron | Hey guys, I got a weird problem, I cannot right click on desktop :/ | 13:46 |
| foxtrot | how long shouldI give it? | 13:46 |
| foxtrot | its a Pentium M 1.4ghz w/ 1gb of RAM | 13:46 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: Oh... did you verify the CD? It took about 7 minutes to boot here (Live session) or 3 minutes for just installer | 13:46 |
| foxtrot | its the Desktop Edition from ubuntu.com | 13:47 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: And it's an ancient machine, so I guess something is wrong there. | 13:47 |
| sunta | mataks, root always bad but you should find your mount beneath /media/ | 13:47 |
| foxtrot | oh is ubuntu not useful on older hardware? | 13:47 |
| foxtrot | shoot | 13:47 |
| sunta | foxbuntu, clean keyboard?;) | 13:47 |
| * foxtrot ponders what to do for an OS on this old Dell D400 laptop | 13:48 | |
| loewi | foxtrot: Pentium M, 1 GHz, 1GB RAM, live-CD takes 12 min to reach the desktop, afterwards runs snappy | 13:48 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: No, that's not what I mean... My machine is 10 years old. Ubuntu works fine but Live session took fracking long to boot | 13:48 |
| Beelsebob | I'm having a very weird issue with ssh... | 13:48 |
| foxtrot | loewi: so I should keep waiting? | 13:48 |
| Beelsebob | when the machine first starts, it's not accessible | 13:48 |
| foxtrot | it been...7-8 minutes | 13:48 |
| Beelsebob | if I locally, run *something* that uses the network (e.g. netstat, or ssh localhost), it suddenly starts accepting connections | 13:49 |
| Worms | foxbuntu, it is better to install with live usb if your laptop supports. use unetbootin. Its fast | 13:49 |
| loewi | foxtrot: I wait 12 min for it to start - depends on you CD-Drive, etc | 13:49 |
| theadmin | Did Lubuntu receive official acknowledgement from Canonical yet? | 13:50 |
| foxtrot | its a 24x USB cdrom | 13:50 |
| Worms | foxtrot, ^^ | 13:50 |
| foxtrot | loewi: i just think its crashing/freezing | 13:50 |
| SwedeMike | foxtrot: you'd be better off putting it on a 1G (or larger) USB stick, much quicker. | 13:50 |
| foxtrot | my laptop doesnt support that i dont think | 13:50 |
| sunta | foxtrot, maybe CD burn went wrong? hang on another 10min and make an bootable USB-stick if system still not up | 13:51 |
| foxtrot | what do I use to convert this 10.04 .iso to a flash drive? unetbootin? | 13:51 |
| geof270 | Hello. Which is more stable, ubuntu server or desktop/alternate, 10.04, lucid, and would anyone recommend KDE-desktop loaded on top? | 13:51 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: Either this or usb-creator | 13:51 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: Unetbootin worked sweet for me | 13:51 |
| Pici | foxtrot: You can try using the alternate CD if you'd just like to install Ubuntu, it does not load a Live session. | 13:52 |
| foxtrot | does that work in windows? | 13:52 |
| erUSUL | geof270: if you are going to use it as a dektop use the desktop version | 13:52 |
| Pici | geof270: They are all stable. | 13:52 |
| foxtrot | yeah i just want to install it | 13:52 |
| theadmin | geof270: KDE is fine. Both are same stability, just different packages. Desktop and alternate have only 1 difference: You can't try the live session with the alternate | 13:52 |
| erUSUL | foxtrot: yes unetbootin works in windows | 13:52 |
| foxtrot | Pici: link? | 13:52 |
| theadmin | foxtrot: http://unetbootin.sf.net | 13:53 |
| Pici | foxtrot: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate | 13:53 |
| geof270 | I wouldn't say stable. I've had trouble w kubuntu 10.04 crashing | 13:53 |
| ralnaemi | What's the most common reason for conky not appearing? | 13:53 |
| ralnaemi | Other than a faulty .conf | 13:53 |
| geof270 | But I had ubuntu-desktop loaded on top | 13:54 |
| p1l0t | ralnaemi - not being installed :P | 13:54 |
| Worms | foxtrot, use lili live usb creator, not unetbootin. Unetbootin works fine for live session but breaks while installing (only lucid). | 13:54 |
| meowbuntu | Joshmuffin: i have the 64 bit bersion of ubuntu on my amd 64 bit computer in system moniter it only shows 3gig ram i read that 64 bit os would be able to read the full 4 | 13:54 |
| geof270 | So I'm wondering if I should start w unbuntu first, the load kubuntu-destop | 13:54 |
| ralnaemi | p1l0t: That was inappropriate. The great leader will proceed to terminate you. | 13:55 |

| ikonia | meowbuntu: 1.) I don't think your upt to date with your laptop - that kernel is not the latest available, 2.) I think you have a hardware error with some of your ram then | 14:05 |
| meowbuntu | or bios is not set up | 14:05 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu: that shows ubuntu can only see 3gig of ram, so it's got to be hardware related | 14:05 |
| sunta | meowbuntu, do an sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:05 |

| meowbuntu | come to think of it this is a new install yesterday i dont think i haev done any updates so far | 14:07 |
| meowbuntu | that could be the problem | 14:07 |
| ikonia | meowbuntu: it's not | 14:08 |
| kjkjava | martiner: if it ends with d | 14:08 |
| meowbuntu | and also bios | 14:08 |

| tristangage | hey jord | 14:10 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: are both networks up ? | 14:10 |
| LjL | martiner: uhm, i don't think there is a reliable way to tell a daemon process from a vanilla one... they're the same thing. a daemon will generally not have a controlling terminal, but then so do X11 clients | 14:10 |
| skeeter101 | ikonia: is probably why I cannot ping the external correct? | 14:10 |
| skeeter101 | yes they are | 14:10 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: correct, the interneal gateway will probably have no idea how to route externally | 14:10 |
| skeeter101 | ikonia: what is required to make it work? | 14:10 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: I'd suggest making your default gateway your external gateway machine, then making your internal network card a route for the private lan range | 14:11 |
| martiner | LjL, yeah, thats my understanding aswell... But the teacher wants an answer im afraid.. grrr | 14:11 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: that way anything thats not on your lan gets routed out of the external interface, rather than internal | 14:11 |
| sunta | martel, the answer can be "you cannot see zombie status within top" | 14:11 |
| meowbuntu | i have an error when trying to update E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 14:11 |
| meowbuntu | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 14:11 |
| ikonia | sunta: you can see zombie processes in top - it lists them as "zombie" | 14:12 |
| LjL | martiner: well, "ends with d" really is the closest i can think of, although it's obviously just a loose convention, and you can easily have daemons with names not ending with d, or normal processes that do end with d. | 14:12 |
| ikonia | !fixdpg | meowbuntu | 14:12 |
| skramer_ | martiner: in fact, you can see the status of each process | 14:12 |
| martiner | skramer_, Yeah? | 14:12 |
| skeeter101 | ikonia: could you assist me in doing that? I can provide whatever info u need....I have been at this far too long..... | 14:12 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: how did you set your network cards up (what tool) | 14:12 |
| evon | How do i restart all my sound devices? Pulse, alsa etc? | 14:12 |
| skramer_ | martiner: in top, it's the column just left to the "% CPU " column | 14:13 |
| LjL | martiner: it's also true that they're usually run as root, although that too is really no guarrantee at all | 14:13 |
| skeeter101 | ikonia: terminal | 14:13 |
| ikonia | skeeter101: ok - so you neet to use the route command "route add/route delete" to add and remove the routes to make your external card default and | 14:13 |
| martiner | skramer_, all I have there are s:s, and one R | 14:13 |
| ikonia | however I must away now to other things | 14:13 |
| LjL | martiner: yeah, most processes will be sleeping most of the time, whether or not they're daemons | 14:14 |
| martiner | Got damn trick questions :p | 14:14 |
| martiner | Thanks for your help everyone | 14:14 |

| kryptyk | BluesKaj, thanks, but still no luck. I can't set the USB headset to be default by editing the files because the sound system does not even recognize that they are attached - even though the OS does. | 14:14 |
| skramer_ | martiner: D means "uninteruptable sleep" which should be a daemon, then | 14:15 |
| LjL | skramer_: but then none of my daemons is currently in that state | 14:16 |

| trans | hello everyone | 14:28 |
| trans | need little help regarding gdesklets | 14:28 |
| augdawg | indus well i already have it from when i used it befroe | 14:28 |
| arunkumar413 | hi,friends i found this open source software and want to compile it for ubuntu. plz help me | 14:28 |
| trans | i installed gdesklets recently but i dont know how to start it | 14:29 |
| Slart | arunkumar413: which software is it? | 14:29 |
| nan77240 | r | 14:29 |
| indus | arunkumar413, first step is to install the build-essential package | 14:29 |
| p1l0t | !launchpad | 14:29 |
| ubottu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 14:29 |
| arunkumar413 | the source is in c++ | 14:29 |
| kryptyk | BluesKaj, I really appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, that link will still not get me going. It outlines configuring the settings for the headset. The problem is, even though the headset is connected and recognized by the OS (confirmed with 'dmesg' and 'lsusb') no sound applets show it as an output device | 14:29 |
| indus | augdawg, oh they require compulsory registration ? | 14:29 |
| kryptyk | It is like it is not even connected as far as the sound subsystem is concerned even though the OS sees it | 14:30 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: the source is in c++ and i installed g++ compiler. | 14:30 |
| indus | arunkumar413, install the build-essential package for any compilations | 14:30 |
| augdawg | indus: im not sure what that means but i just installed it and its not showing up in my apps | 14:30 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm | 14:30 |
| djl | whois Cesar_Augusto_U | 14:30 |
| indus | augdawg, its in accessories | 14:30 |
| indus | Slart, http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm | 14:31 |
| augdawg | djl: caesar augustus/ son i think | 14:31 |
| MyNickWasInUse | can someone tell me whats wrong? [http://cl.ly/b707445ab28411aab415] | 14:31 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: the site says that it is tested on knoppix | 14:31 |
| augdawg | indus: its still not showing up. that happens to me alot and i dont nkow why | 14:31 |
| indus | augdawg, just start from terminal | 14:31 |
| indus | avast | 14:31 |
| augdawg | indus trying that | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | kryptyk, did you try or are you assumeing the tutorial won't work due to the dmesg output? | 14:32 |
| indus | arunkumar413, did you read the 'read me' ? | 14:32 |
| sunta | soccer soon.... | 14:32 |
| augdawg | indus it says it cannot initialize enigne: invalid argument in terminal | 14:32 |
| sockets | soccer soon?? | 14:32 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ya,there is nothing in it | 14:32 |

| iceroot | sunta: its offtopic and england has nothing to do with soccer | 14:33 |
| indus | augdawg, hmm | 14:33 |
| sockets | OK, sorry. | 14:33 |
| indus | augdawg, not sure what that error is | 14:33 |
| sunta | lol | 14:33 |
| augdawg | i have no clue indus | 14:33 |
| indus | augdawg, i downloaded but its asking for key :) iam too lazy to do that | 14:33 |
| geof270 | Hello, anyone have problems w ureadahead on Lucid? | 14:34 |
| augdawg | could it be that im running ful ubuntu on a netbook? | 14:34 |
| theadmin | geof270: What kind of? | 14:34 |
| kryptyk | BluesKaj - I tried the guide, but the step 'Select USB Headset' in the sound window is not possible. I cannot select it and configure it because no sound applet on this machine sees it as an output device. The only thing that shows up on any sound applet is the built in sound card | 14:34 |
| augdawg | indus could it be that i am running full ubuntu on a netbook? | 14:34 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: in the read me file it asks to typo qmake | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | kryptyk, ok, bummer :( | 14:34 |
| kryptyk | BluesKaj - Indeed. I appreciate your efforts just the same though | 14:35 |
| indus | arunkumar413, yes then do it but have you instaled the package i told you | 14:35 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: i typed,it asks to install qt-dev-tools | 14:35 |
| MyNickWasInUse | guys, i'm getting an error with 'make' command in terminal | 14:35 |
| MyNickWasInUse | i don't know whats wrong :/ | 14:35 |
| indus | augdawg, hmm netbook | 14:35 |
| augdawg | indus it usually works fine though | 14:36 |
| indus | augdawg, must be some other error, try restart pc | 14:36 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: what is the build essential package | 14:36 |
| augdawg | okay ill be right back | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | kryptyk, np | 14:36 |
| indus | !build-essential | 14:36 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 14:36 |
| augdawg | indus ill be right back | 14:36 |
| === USA_ALLTHEWAY is now known as omgjoz|USA | ||
| VCoolio | MyNickWasInUse: what are you 'making' and paste the error on paste.ubuntu.com | 14:36 |
| indus | arunkumar413, it is compulsory to compile anything on ubuntu or debian, and you wont have to install other things individually | 14:36 |
| indus | arunkumar413, just type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:37 |
| frxstrem | is there a program capable of opening .dat files in Ubuntu? | 14:37 |
| indus | frxstrem, dat is not a format really, this is probably a video ? | 14:37 |
| aleray | hi, where can I find usb-modswitch? it doesn't seem to be in synaptic | 14:37 |
| MyNickWasInUse | how do i copy/paste from terminal? | 14:38 |
| frxstrem | indus: okay, more specifically I believe it's the allegro .dat format (no, it is not a video, it's more like a file archive) | 14:38 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: is that available in the lucid CD-ROM | 14:38 |
| bazhang | aleray, perhaps a typo? modeswitch? | 14:38 |
| indus | arunkumar413, dont you have internet ? | 14:38 |
| MyNickWasInUse | okay nvmi found it | 14:38 |
| MyNickWasInUse | lol | 14:38 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ya | 14:38 |
| indus | arunkumar413, dont think its there in cd rom | 14:38 |
| pranay_09 | while downloading a package via Synaptic package manager in ubuntu when i go for system shutdown , the system does not inform me that a download is in progress, so how can i incorporate this feature? | 14:38 |
| augdawg | indus still says same thing | 14:39 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: dialup | 14:39 |
| indus | arunkumar413, download from internet through synaptic | 14:39 |
| skeeter101 | hey guys, after I remove the default gw from the internal side and I do a "ip route", I am seeing a 169.254.0.0.....where did that come from? | 14:39 |

| Jerusalem420 | i'm working on a setting up a website who DNS data hasn't had time to promulgate. so I edited /etc/resolv.conf and put in the dns of the hosting company. the site loads fine, but, it can't resolve google/yahoo/ etc. how can i set up resolv.conf so i dont have to keep switching back and fourth between two copies? | 14:39 |
| indus | arunkumar413, dial up? why ? | 14:39 |
| indus | arunkumar413, mtnl has 2 mbps for 250 rupees | 14:39 |
| unop | skeeter101, hosts assign themselves addresses in that range when they are unable to get an address from a DHCP server. | 14:40 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: i'm from AP no MTNL here | 14:40 |
| theadmin | Anyone, please tell me a way to disable any shutdown procedures via GNOME, or make it ask a sudo password | 14:40 |
| augdawg | indus thanks anyway though | 14:40 |
| indus | arunkumar413, AP, bsnl ? or some other airtel ? | 14:40 |
| indus | augdawg, search forums of avast for a solution | 14:40 |
| skeeter101 | unop: why would it be trying to obtain an ip from the dhcp server.....everything is manually set | 14:40 |
| VCoolio | MyNickWasInUse: looks disturbing; check if there is a README file for instructions | 14:40 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: bsnl cdma NIC | 14:40 |
| indus | arunkumar413, you will have to download that package to do any compiling | 14:41 |
| Pici | theadmin: You may want to look into the pessulus or sabayon packages, as they might be able to lockdown those gnome tools. | 14:41 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ok finished downloading | 14:41 |
| indus | arunkumar413, thta was fast | 14:41 |
| indus | arunkumar413, how is this a dial up | 14:41 |
| Pici | theadmin: I haven't done any of that myself, just happened to find an article about them long ago. | 14:41 |
| indus | arunkumar413, you have bsnl data card ? | 14:41 |
| pakair | aleray, usb-modeswitch and data is available on synaptic | 14:41 |
| unop | skeeter101, might just be cruft from before the address was set -- in any case, it's nothing to worry about, it's only normal. | 14:41 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ya | 14:42 |
| indus | arunkumar413, thats a broadband data card with 3 mbps | 14:42 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: not data card its a CDMA NIC device | 14:42 |
| indus | arunkumar413, anyways , now try compiling | 14:42 |
| dragon-eye | is there any IDs tool for web ? | 14:42 |
| indus | augdawg, what was taht error you got ? | 14:42 |
| aleray | pakair, I'm trying to install it from a liveusb ubuntu netbook remix, maybe that's the reason? | 14:43 |
| augdawg | indus same one as in the terminal | 14:43 |
| augdawg | invalid argumnet could not initialize | 14:43 |
| pakair | aleray, that might be. I use 10.04 LTS | 14:43 |
| aleray | pakair, or I need to enable universe repository ?? | 14:43 |
| augdawg | soemhting like tht | 14:43 |
| skeeter101 | unop: the only way I can access the external ip on that box, is to turn off/disable eth0.....is there a way to have both interfaces up and ping/access either the internal ip or the external ip? | 14:43 |
| indus | aleray, download the packages from ubuntu package site, packages.ubuntu.com | 14:43 |
| indus | aleray, hmm nvm | 14:44 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: omg! have to download the qt-3 dev-tools to compile.it about 19mb | 14:44 |
| indus | !info usb-modeswitch | 14:44 |

| indus | aleray, is in universe | 14:45 |

| skeeter101 | unop: and does the gw for both interfaces need to be set within the interfaces file? | 14:47 |

| h00k | TannerF: the message politely explains it, it's something we ask people not to do in this channel (or other busy channels, for that matter) | 14:49 |
| theadmin | vitium: yep. It will be saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/, then just take it from there | 14:49 |

| unop | skeeter101, if you are using the interfaces file -- you can specify a metric for the interface e.g. metric 20 | 14:51 |
| unop | skeeter101, see ''man 5 interfaces'' | 14:51 |

| indus | arunkumar413, well it helps configure it , i have reliance and photon, i had to use mode switch package to detect as modem\ | 14:55 |
| indus | arunkumar413, bah wvdial thats all old stuff, its easy now | 14:55 |
| indus | arunkumar413, the problem with new mobile devices is, it is detected as a usb device and not as modem | 14:56 |
| irvy | anyone have a good suggestion for a photo slideshow software? preferably one that exports to a video file | 14:56 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: how to solve the bug. in 9.10 also i couldnt connect using network managre | 14:56 |
| indus | arunkumar413, so the usb modeswitch package helps detect properly | 14:56 |
| indus | arunkumar413, can you show me a pic of your device, | 14:56 |

| burn | edbian: synergy? | 15:00 |

| Pici | edbian: I believe burn is talking about the virtualization technology, not a KVM switch. | 15:00 |
| edbian | burn, It's virtual kvm software. Allows you to control any computer on your lan using 1 mouse and keyboard. | 15:00 |
| bjor | Allows you to use keyboard/mouse on multiple machines via lan | 15:00 |
| irvy | BluesKaj: can you export to video? | 15:01 |

| unperson | Hi. I think I b0rked by flashplugin, and I'm hoping someone can help. When I was running karmic I tried to install a different version of flashplugin, so I replaced /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. In lucid I wanted to go back to using the default, so I deleted libflashplayer.so and then uninstalled and reinstallled the flashplugin-installer package. However, when I try to view flash firefox tells me I need to install | 15:01 |
| unperson | the plugin and at the terminal it says "*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". What should I do? | 15:01 |
| indus | arunkumar413, what is max speed in that card? | 15:01 |
| arunkumar413 | 144kbps | 15:02 |
| carneiro | skeeter101: u there ? | 15:02 |

| arunkumar413 | indus: ya,just completed by b.tech | 15:02 |
| indus | arunkumar413, anyways, dont know how to conenct that card , but try using 10.04 | 15:02 |
| indus | arunkumar413, and configure the device in mobile broadband | 15:03 |
| indus | arunkumar413, but you will need usb modeswtich packagei think | 15:03 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: yes is it configure it in mobile broadband. It tries to dial and gives "network disconnected-you are offline now" | 15:03 |
| soreau | unperson: Try reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree package | 15:04 |
| unperson | It looks to me like with the flashplugin-installer package that mozilla should be using the flashplugin-alternative.so library not the libflashplugin library. | 15:04 |
| unperson | soreau, You mean flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree? | 15:04 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: usbmodswitch? | 15:04 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: how to install it | 15:05 |
| indus | arunkumar413, ok remove device,then plug in again and type command dmesg | tail | 15:05 |
| unperson | soreau, flashplugin-nonfree looks like it's an empty transitional package that just depends on flashplugin-installer. | 15:05 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: but removing the device will disconnect the irc | 15:05 |
| indus | arunkumar413, yes but just want to see | 15:05 |
| arunkumar413 | ok | 15:05 |
| indus | arunkumar413, remember commadn dmesg | tail | 15:05 |
| indus | arunkumar413, and save it and paste it | 15:06 |
| Zakatharant | I have a question regarding the computer I'm using. I am looking at the "sudo lshw" output, in Terminal. (OS: Lucid Lynx) Trying to determine if this laptop is 64-bit capable or not. There are conflicting "width" items in the output. Some say 32 bits, others say 64 bits. Which ones do I look at and which do I disregard? | 15:06 |
| indus | arunkumar413, but wait | 15:06 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ok | 15:06 |
| indus | arunkumar413, since you have used wvdial , i think no need for that | 15:06 |
| indus | arunkumar413, but i tried it myself, removed wvdial and used ubuntu packages usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data and it worked | 15:07 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ok,then tell me how install usb-modeswitch | 15:07 |
| indus | arunkumar413, dont remove anything for now | 15:07 |
| indus | arunkumar413, do one thing, download the package with this connection and save to desktop | 15:07 |
| edbian | Zakatharant, Really the only thing that matters is the ram, the motherboard, and the processor. In lshw make sure th processor and the ram is 64 bit. I'm not sure you can check the motherboard but I think you already know if it is or not. | 15:08 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: which package? | 15:08 |
| Brozilla | im having probs with ubuntu 10.04 hanging on startup on black screen sometimes shows desktop but nothing.. | 15:08 |

| unperson | soreau, I think I'm going to try uninstalling nspluginwrapper as well and then re-install both packaged. | 15:08 |
| Brozilla | nvidia 9500 | 15:08 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: checked the synaptic the usbmod switch is installed | 15:08 |
| acovrig | why doesn't `add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une` work? | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | Zakatharant: if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "the CPU is 64 bits"; else echo "the CPU is 32 bits"; fi | 15:09 |
| indus | arunkumar413, ok then cool | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | Zakatharant: run that line in a terminal | 15:09 |
| Zakatharant | edbian: I do not know if the mobo is 64 bits or not, hence why I'm looking in lshw in the first place. This is a salvaged PC (only thing wrong with it is a dead optical drive) that I installed the 32 bit version of Lucid on (just in case it is not 64 bit ready) using a Live USB. | 15:09 |
| indus | arunkumar413, in anyh case its good to have it saved so you can help your friends with photon or reliance cards | 15:09 |
| edbian | Zakatharant, How much ram do you have? | 15:09 |
| Zakatharant | edbian: 2 gig | 15:09 |
| indus | arunkumar413, since its installed , you can copy it from /var/cache/apt/archives | 15:10 |
| Zakatharant | And "if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "the CPU is 64 bits"; else echo "the CPU is 32 bits"; fi" pushed back that the CPU is 64 bit. | 15:10 |
| * indus goes for a smoke | 15:10 | |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ok,but now how to make my network manager connect using my device | 15:10 |
| edbian | Zakatharant, That it really doesn't matter if it's 64 bit or not. The most important reason to use a 64 bit processor, motherboard, and OS is to allow the system to map 4Gb+ of ram. Since you only have 2Gb there really is not advantage for 64 bit anything. | 15:10 |
| Starcraftmazter | hio | 15:11 |

| arunkumar413 | indus: i tried gnome-ppp no use. i use 10.4 | 15:11 |
| Zakatharant | Specifically: I uninstalled Empathy and installed Pidgin, but I'm still getting alerts when people log into IM and log out. How do I turn off this behavior? | 15:12 |
| indus | arunkumar413, ppp ah that | 15:12 |
| acovrig | Zakatharant, is it pidgin's preferences? | 15:12 |
| edbian | Zakatharant, are you saying your getting empathy alerts? | 15:12 |
| Zakatharant | I didn't see anything in preferences when I looked....yes, even though I uninstalled empathy. | 15:13 |
| edbian | Starcraftmazter, See my pm? | 15:13 |
| indus | arunkumar413, i think wvdial is good for you | 15:13 |

| indus | arunkumar413, my suggestion is for data cards only | 15:13 |

| DJ_HaMsTa | Zakatharant, thank you | 15:29 |
| Zakatharant | DJ_HaMsTa: No huhu. If the corrupt amount grows to something significant, then I'd look at fixing your network...but as long as it's a small fraction of your download, it's normal. | 15:30 |

| DJ_HaMsTa | unperson, no box is checked but i will select one | 16:01 |

| ActionParsnip | Rv1s: yes I've seen. I've helped many in here with similar issues. Samba is optional in ubuntu so needs installing seperately | 16:02 |

| ActionParsnip | Rv1s: you may have to run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER ,to add a samba credential as win7 implements different samba security. When you access the server you will be challenged for the password you set (tell win7 to remember it) | 16:03 |

| Gwar_ | Hi all. Is there a way to allow a script that needs sudo to run as sudo when I login? Atm, I need to manually open a terminal and run it. Needless to say, typing in a 20+ PW seconds after just typing the bloody thing in is a little frustrating! xD | 16:45 |
| Aut0ExeC | wtf?? | 16:45 |
| mattgyver | DestinyAwaits, Ubuntu Unleashed (i have 2008) is a really good book if your looking for one. | 16:45 |
| JyZyXEL | ubuntu uses grub2 | 16:45 |
| Aut0ExeC | ok ok dood chill | 16:45 |
| JyZyXEL | the boot confs are generated automatically and set read only for a reason | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | Gwar_: run it from /etc/rc.local ? | 16:46 |
| Jungli | hello i want to reinstall grub | 16:46 |
| JyZyXEL | the whole idea is you don't go editing them but the scripts that generate the file | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | Jungli | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Jungli: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 16:46 |
| Aut0ExeC | JyZyXEL: check the wiki then... | 16:46 |
| edbian | Gwar_, Does it have to run only after you log in? If you tell the system to run at boot time it will be run as root (but before you log in) and you won't need to type the password | 16:46 |
| JyZyXEL | Aut0ExeC: there is no need as i already told you the answer | 16:46 |
| Aut0ExeC | k | 16:46 |
| Aut0ExeC | JyZyXEL: u calling me dumb bro? | 16:46 |
| Gwar_ | edbian, yes, that is exactly correct. How do I go about doing that? Can I just use Ubuntu-Tweak and say "run at login" or do I need to do some other speshul editing> | 16:47 |

| Daekdroom | fearful, iOS 4 wasn't released back when Ubuntu 10.04 was, so it's possible it won't work | 16:50 |

| JyZyXEL | no im planning to install lots of junk | 17:00 |

| Quinton | Can not install ubuntu, fedora, or mint. None of these Distros will show a display to guide me through the installation after selecting install. If I use a text base installer the computer will install the distro then at login chime the login noise and still blackscreen, anyone help please? | 17:00 |
| arand | JyZyXEL: Just do not unistall those things afterwards, since that can forcefully remove parts of other tasks as well. | 17:00 |
| arand | JyZyXEL: *remove those tasks | 17:01 |
| Gwar_ | edbian, nope, didn't work. I know why though. | 17:01 |
| JyZyXEL | oh yea uninstalling "Print server" probably destroys "Samba file server" too :p | 17:01 |
| Gwar_ | How can I make it so networking is disabled on boot and then renables itself after, say, 3 seconds? :D | 17:02 |
| arand | JyZyXEL: It may also remove half of gnome. | 17:02 |
| edbian | Gwar_, Is the script in /etc/init.d/ executable ? That's one thing we didn't do | 17:02 |
| JyZyXEL | yea i wouldn't try doing that =D | 17:02 |
| Gwar_ | yes it's executable :) Im not that much of a noob edbian :D | 17:02 |
| arand | JyZyXEL: openssh-server and virt-server does that, so mind your step. | 17:02 |

| abhi_nav_ | VCoolio, after removeing gnome sound manager from startup aps my problem solved. | 17:03 |
| Gwar_ | edbian, just throw that into a terminal? | 17:03 |
| Gwar_ | or make that a script? | 17:03 |
| prakriti | edbian, i would recommend runing that with nohup or in a screen, it would be terrible if the shell was killed before the networking came back | 17:03 |
| gullam | my laptop do not connect to broadband internet | 17:04 |
| edbian | Gwar_, That's a script. | 17:04 |
| Gwar_ | mkay | 17:04 |
| edbian | prakriti, Gwar_ Good point | 17:04 |
| prakriti | personally i would use screen because i love screen. if you don't know screen and you deal with cmd line often you should learn it | 17:05 |
| VCoolio | abhi_nav_: ah, nice; but it wasn't about the drums before the login screen then, it was about the sound after login; I must have misunderstood | 17:05 |
| edbian | prakriti, Oh, screen is great | 17:06 |
| p1l0t | screen = FTW | 17:06 |

| RandoMan | Hello to all. I have quesion: I just installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 32 bit from netinstall, everything is fine except the fact that there is no sound. | 17:41 |
| wind | yes is hard to say in english thanks all | 17:41 |
| steffan | !sound | RandoMan | 17:42 |
| ubottu | RandoMan: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 17:42 |
| RandoMan | I installed it several times ago on this and other machines, and never bumped inti that. | 17:42 |
| ak5 | wind: 没问题 | 17:42 |
| Pici | abhi_nav_: Huh? I don't see anything to suggest that. | 17:42 |
| RandoMan | ubottu: i checked. | 17:42 |
| ak5 | what do I do if my model does not appear in the models section when installing a lpd printer? The model is a brother mfc 7420 | 17:42 |
| RandoMan | Three or four times. | 17:42 |
| RandoMan | Double times rebooted the system. | 17:42 |
| RandoMan | Players are playing, but there is no sound output. | 17:42 |
| abhi_nav_ | Pici, though he know that wind want chines channel and already steffan suggest one then also he tell him about indian channel using !Indian its another part that that doesnt work | 17:43 |
| RandoMan | I checked the place of sound connecting, changed dynamics to headset - no result :( | 17:43 |
| abhi_nav_ | Pici, its ok now. because phong is leaved. | 17:43 |
| RandoMan | oh, I talking with bot :) | 17:43 |

| win_2_linux | dr_willis I found that out | 17:51 |
| win_2_linux | lol | 17:51 |
| crdlb | MikeChelen: because you could be using a remote mpd | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: so do a normal install. or run ubuntu in virtualbox if you want to experiment with iot. | 17:51 |
| MikeChelen | crdlb: ah true | 17:51 |
| Poka64 | how do I use "dpkg-reconfigure" to change default browser? | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Poka64: for a single user? or the whole system? | 17:52 |
| steffan | Poka64: use "sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser" | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | system -> perferances -> perfereed applications for a 'per user setting' | 17:52 |
| xray_tsk | It seems that something wrong with ALSA. | 17:52 |

| win_2_linux | dr_willis I did the virtual box thing and discovered I like linux but because of a bad experience with mandrake many moons ago, it broke and I couldn't reinstall or fix it, i was leary of putting it on my hard drive however, I have two distros in vb and play with them both, | 17:53 |
| Gwar_ | Hi Guys. Simple Question. How can I have my networking Disabled when I login, and then have it enable after 5 or 10 seconds? | 17:53 |
| win_2_linux | anyway I did try the normal install on ubunto and it wouldn't install | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Gwar_: You are refering to wireless networking? or what excactly? any are you wanting to do this anyway? | 17:53 |
| win_2_linux | when using wubi i kept gett ing run chkdsk /r which I did and it kept doing that over and over | 17:53 |
| zus | so, is lucid having trouble connecting to security servers and or gpg servers? i keep geting various fails and time outs and the gpg for gnome do doesnt exist whats gpoing on? | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: may be 'best' to have a seperate hard drive not part of that 'raid' you mentioned - just for linux to go on. | 17:54 |
| === Guest57581 is now known as downstream | ||
| Gwar_ | Dr_Willis, I need to run a script at startup. I have that setup. The problem is, for it to work, networking has to be disabled (like how it is when you right click the applet in the bar and disable the networking (all kinds) from there) | 17:54 |
| === user_14 is now known as Neuplatoniker | ||
| win_2_linux | I'd have to delete the raid 0 array which I'm going to do because when one disk goes the you can't boot because of the striping | 17:55 |
| win_2_linux | I didn't do it, the puter came with the raid, supposed to make it faster | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: you could also install linux to a exteral usb hard drive. (be sure to tell the installer to put the bootloader on the usb hd) | 17:55 |
| [DarkSun] | where does the network manager keep the config files for the ipaddress info, etc? 10.04 | 17:55 |
| win_2_linux | one of my harddisks is on the fritz i get that dreadful four clicks then two clicks | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: i dont bother with raids any more. So cant really help with them. | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: sounds like you should be making backups asap. | 17:56 |
| === Myst is now known as S`IRL | ||
| win_2_linux | and the bios doesn't see it, then it wakes up and it sees it and i can boot, but if I get a powerfailure or have to do a cold boot the disk does the clicking again, so each time i can boot into win i copy files | 17:56 |
| neyder | greetings | 17:57 |

| abhi_nav_ | [DarkSun], sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis | win_2_linux: i got about 5 1+TB external USB hd's for my 'data' :) | 17:57 |
| win_2_linux | or maybe raid 1 if i can do it, a backup is good | 17:57 |
| blue_anna | when I log in my wireless network no longer connects automatically -- since we stopped broadcasting the SSID name | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | 'redundant stack of external usb hard drives' | 17:58 |
| win_2_linux | dr_willis you must have tons of data | 17:58 |
| digitaltanha | how can I tell which drive my home folder is on? | 17:58 |
| Zela | how do I change my username? | 17:58 |
| * Dr_Willis rarely deletes anything | 17:58 | |
| [DarkSun] | abhi_nav_: i looked there, just says "auto lo" then "iface lo inet loopback" nothing bout the info thats in the network manager | 17:58 |
| VCoolio | digitaltanha: run 'mount' in a terminal | 17:58 |
| abhi_nav_ | [DarkSun], hmmm | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | digitaltanha: check mount command. If its not on its own partiiton - then its on same one as / | 17:58 |

| Zela | how do I change my login username? | 17:59 |
| digitaltanha | k thnks so much | 17:59 |
| win_2_linux | Dr_Willis agreed | 17:59 |
| abhi_nav_ | Zela, (I think) you cant | 17:59 |
| Zela | abhi_nav_, I think you can. | 17:59 |
| win_2_linux | I poohooed backing up because I read somewhere or a few somewheres that modern hard drives are built to last and last | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had several optial drives die on me.. of course you dont realize they are going bad.. untill after youve made a few dozen+ data disks that are less then reliable. | 18:00 |

| jamesstanley | cian1243: your screen is full of pixels? | 18:03 |
| cian1243 | yes | 18:03 |

| blue_anna | [DarkSun], /etc/network, my bad | 18:05 |

| [DarkSun] | abhi_nav_: i looked there, just says "auto lo" then "iface lo inet loopback" nothing bout the info thats in the network manager | 18:05 |
| abhi_nav_ | [DarkSun], then you can do this by right clicking on network mnager aps and go to edit | 18:05 |
| blue_anna | [DarkSun], give a specific example you are looking for | 18:05 |

| raj | gwerra: you go to package manager >> history | 18:13 |
| blue_anna | abhi_nav_, but I want it to connect automatically :) | 18:13 |
| === darkmoon is now known as Darkmoon_UK | ||
| abhi_nav_ | blue_anna, it wll connect automaticaly. first time you set it manualy then check 'Connect Automatically' thats it | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Gwerra: you could download the deb and extract it. I'm sure dpkg has some magic in its man pages | 18:13 |
| gwerra | raj, I installed them using apt-get | 18:13 |
| zus | i am not particularly happy with lucid, since switching back to gnome its been problem after problem, 1st after installing GNOME-do my <superM> is working a small menu appears under the envelope - NOT magnifier, as i set up with compizconfig-settings-manager. 2 im getting all sorts of security failures when updating this is a fresh install as of this morning. | 18:13 |
| Pici | azlon: Modify /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default , the virtualhost line specifies what port it is listening on. | 18:13 |
| raj | gwerra apt-get in the terminal is the same as the package manager (synaptic) but command line. it would still be under jhistory | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | zus: log bugs | 18:14 |

| scott__ | Not much people talking.. | 18:15 |
| azlon_ | Pici, i have configured port forwarding to forward port 80 to this machine (192.168.1.10) but when i type my public IP address i cannot access my website. if i type localhost it works fine. how can i check where the problem in? | 18:15 |
| azlon_ | is | 18:15 |
| blue_anna | abhi_nav_, when I click "connect to hidden network", I can select the connection from the dropdown or leave it as "New...", the other fields are network name and security .. there's no connect automatically in that dialog | 18:15 |
| Pici | zus: Security failures? Do you mean that apt cannot verify the authenticity of packages? | 18:15 |
| zus | ActionParsnip, the security one i seen in launchpad and i clicked it affects me (3 resintalls same problem) | 18:15 |
| gwerra | raj, shows nothing at all | 18:15 |
| abhi_nav_ | blue_anna, you have to enter all the details manualy (only) for first time. because its hidden network | 18:15 |
| Pici | azlon_: Many routers do not allow loopback connections, so you cannot connected to your external address from inside the network. | 18:15 |
| abhi_nav_ | blue_anna, from the second time onwards it will connect automatically | 18:16 |
| zus | Pici, yes and sometimes they do sometimes they dont and sometimes it vaires, like i couldnt get virtualbox to hit | 18:16 |
| gwerra | I am just trying to get the teapot mesa demo to run, I want to do some testing to see how well my GPU works with Ubuntu | 18:16 |
| blue_anna | abhi_nav_, no, it doesn't. :S and I dont see a flag to set it to do that -- are you on the 10.10 beta? | 18:16 |
| azlon_ | Pici, what if i used a proxy? would that get around that issue? | 18:16 |
| scott__ | Oh, That's why I had trouble SSHing into my box from downstairs...using my external IP | 18:16 |
| scott__ | exit | 18:16 |
| win_2_linux | I know people are going to say personal preference, Whats the better desktop KDE or GNOME? | 18:16 |
| === bryan is now known as Guest31474 | ||
| ActionParsnip_ | Scott__: port forward the ssh port you use then | 18:17 |
| avarel | hi | 18:17 |
| Pici | azlon_: It might. You could also specify your server's internal ip address in /etc/hosts | 18:17 |
| blue_anna | abhi_nav_, my NetworkManager preferences file has a settings "autoconnect=true" for this connection, so I'm not sure that I haven't already gone through what you are referring to back when it wasnt a hidden network | 18:17 |
| abhi_nav_ | blue_anna, first thing is that ask in #ubuntu+1 for 10.10. I am on 10.04 | 18:17 |
| zus | win_2_linux, a fresh install of KDE in my personal opinion, not just because of my problems, but over all i liked it a lot better | 18:18 |
| blue_anna | abhi_nav_, same | 18:18 |
| abhi_nav_ | !10.10 | 18:18 |

| spydee32 | i have 8 gb of RAM but lucid 64 bit only shows 4 gb | 18:18 |
| webmaster61 | Hello. | 18:19 |
| teamtrimbledesig | Greetings! | 18:19 |
| Gwar_ | spydee32, silly question, but you sure you installed 64 bit? | 18:19 |
| azlon_ | Pici, if i updated hosts with my current ip that wouldnt tell me if the site is accessable externally would it? im trying to verify if people can access my site from outside the LAN. | 18:19 |
| win_2_linux | thanks Zus, trying Xchat for win right now to see if I want to use it for linux | 18:19 |
| raj | gwerra: thats weird. i do it that way and it always shows what installed. did you compile it? or just went with: apt-get install (software) | 18:19 |
| teamtrimbledesig | What would you guys recommend for a webdesigner moving from Adobe CS to Ubuntu? | 18:20 |
| win_2_linux | right now i'm using the gnome desktop that was on ubuntu liveCD | 18:20 |
| webmaster61 | :) | 18:20 |
| abhi_nav_ | blue_anna, here are some search results: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hidden+wireless+network+ubuntu+10.04&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= | 18:20 |
| Pici | azlon_: No, it wouldn't. I may have misunderstood your question. | 18:20 |
| gwerra | raj, apt-get install libglu1-mesa, I want to know what files it added to my system | 18:20 |
| spydee32 | gwar, i ran uname -m and its x86_64 | 18:20 |
| win_2_linux | GIMP? | 18:20 |
| abhi_nav_ | !gimp | 18:21 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 18:21 |
| thune3 | raj: do you have exact model information on your wifi that you want working with ndis? | 18:21 |
| teamtrimbledesig | I tried GIMP, and it's not too bad | 18:21 |
| azlon_ | Pici, how can i verify that my site is accessable from the internet? i thought my port forwarding was messed up, but i dont know. how can i verify what the problem is? | 18:21 |
| teamtrimbledesig | But there really hasn't been something that replaced Dreamweaver | 18:21 |
| win_2_linux | you can port cs to linux with wine i read unnoticably | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip_ | teamtrimbledesig: gimpshop, its a rehashed gimp to have most of the menus how photoshop is | 18:21 |
| teamtrimbledesig | really? | 18:21 |
| raj | gwerra ill give tehm to you 1 sec | 18:21 |
| win_2_linux | meaning you would think its one windows or nothing would change | 18:21 |
| webmaster61 | Is there anyone who could help me about my wireless cards, onboard bcm4318, end linksys wusb54gc usb wlan? i couldn't install both of them. | 18:22 |
| teamtrimbledesig | I thought that development had ceased on it | 18:22 |
| hypn0 | gwerra, try dpkg -L libglu1-mesa | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip_ | azlon_: set the server to use a static ip can save lots of heartache | 18:22 |
| andrei | where is noob questions channel? this one is easy | 18:22 |
| teamtrimbledesig | webmaster61, did the restriced drivers pick it up? | 18:22 |
| gwerra | hypn0, ah works, thank you :) | 18:22 |
| win_2_linux | ceased on what CS | 18:22 |
| teamtrimbledesig | on | 18:22 |
| spydee32 | any other ideas? i have 8 gb of RAM but lucid x64 only shows 4 gb | 18:22 |
| teamtrimbledesig | oops, on gimpshop | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip_ | teamtrimbledesig: not something I use, I just know of it | 18:22 |
| Pici | azlon_: A proxy would work, but If you'd like the pm me the address that you think it should be accessable on, I'd be happy to check it out. | 18:22 |
| azlon__ | Pici, i have TCP port forwarding for port 80 going to my local IP address (192.168.1.10) port 80. this is correct, right? | 18:22 |
| webmaster61 | teamtrimbledesig im sorry i couldn't understand? | 18:22 |
| teamtrimbledesig | What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 18:23 |

| ubottu | anothernewbie: 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 | 18:39 |

| iceroot | azlon: put the hostname in /etc/hosts | 18:44 |
| hotfloppy | never heard of it.. | 18:44 |

| azlon | iceroot, but will people outside of my LAN be able to access it if i just update the hosts file? | 18:44 |
| anothernewbie | Is there a root deb out there I can use? | 18:44 |
| iceroot | azlon: if the ip you assigned the host to can be access from outside the lan, yes | 18:45 |
| unop | anothernewbie, root deb? | 18:45 |
| iceroot | anothernewbie: stop asking about root. | 18:45 |

| hotfloppy | anothernewbie: as far as i know, root is not an application and doesnt need to be install.. | 18:46 |
| iceroot | azlon: the hostname you assigned with the dns | 18:46 |
| mikebeecham | erSUL...think the photos are gone :S | 18:46 |

| jalex_brown | Does anyone know how to keen Ubuntu 10,04 from creating a desktop icon when a drive mounts? | 19:25 |
| Doyle | n0pme, if I don't force the ipv4 setup in a config file, it uses ipv6 by default, and even when I force an ipv4 setup, you can see it still shunts ipv6 inot the mix | 19:25 |
| zus | well ther eisnt anyone in the #gnome-do channel and i keep getting failed to fetch ...(ppa for gnome do from launchpad) | 19:26 |
| perlsyntax | ActionParsnip,How do i setup dial up with with a pc card? | 19:26 |

| perlsyntax | i use gnome | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | perlsyntax: that factoid is all I know. Haven't used diallup in ages | 19:27 |
| perlsyntax | the prob not pick up the modem. | 19:27 |
| Doyle | n0pme, ok thanks. Can't see why they'd even incorporate ipv6 in such a way that it would be the default protocol for NIC communications. How many people in the world would benefit from it? | 19:27 |
| bastid_raZor | jalex_brown: in terminal type: gconf-editor then navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop and untick volumes_visible | 19:27 |
| abhi_nav | perlsyntax, see linmodem.org | 19:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Doyle: its coming soon. I disable it with boot options personally | 19:29 |
| jalex_brown | Little thing, but it's been bugging me for a while now. | 19:29 |
| qwiksilver711 | how do you run an apt file | 19:29 |
| n0pme | Doyle right now not many, there making the move & lack of interoperability is the price till its complete | 19:29 |
| perlsyntax | it works | 19:29 |
| perlsyntax | :D | 19:29 |
| Doyle | ActionParsnip, good idea | 19:29 |
| === accovrig is now known as tester123 | ||

| ruint | i'm upgrading my old laptop (inspiron 1300) before i put ubuntu on it, the optimal memory for it seems to be PC2-4200, but PC2-5300 is cheaper, if i buy the 5300 will it gracefully slow to 400mhz for my aging laptop? | 19:30 |

| Guest60046 | hello, can anyone please suggest me a tool to measure internet bandwidth in realtime by hosts, of my home network ? i'm having a hardtime with iftop.. | 19:30 |
| qwiksilver711 | how do you run an apt file | 19:31 |
| Stereocaulon | Hi sebsebseb, do you have moment to talk about Open Source software in general? | 19:31 |
| bazhang | ruint, try in ##hardware | 19:31 |
| ruint | k | 19:31 |
| bazhang | qwiksilver711, surely you mean a .deb file | 19:31 |
| bsod1 | how can I reset nautilus settings? | 19:31 |
| bastid_raZor | n0pme: Doyle .. just add this to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1" | 19:31 |
| n0pme | bastid_raZor i didn't know of that method, but thanks. | 19:32 |
| bsod1 | how can I reset nautilus settings? | 19:32 |
| qwiksilver711 | bazhang, no, the deb did not work, it is an apt... i'm trying to install flash | 19:32 |
| n0pme | Doyle either way is easy, but the article i linked requires no change of boot. | 19:32 |
| elb0w | So we are trying to install ubuntu on our desktop here and after install it searched for graphic drivers. It then installed nvidia drivers and since has not shown the login screen. After post it just remains black. Any ideas? | 19:32 |
| bazhang | qwiksilver711, do you mean an .rpm? | 19:32 |
| bsod1 | how can I reset nautilus settings? | 19:33 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711, Are you on a 32-, or a 64bits systems? | 19:33 |
| qwiksilver711 | bazhang, it says apt for ubuntu 9.04+ from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 19:33 |
| Doyle | bastid_raZor, n0pme trying it now | 19:33 |
| qwiksilver711 | Stereocaulon, 64 bit | 19:33 |
| n0pme | Doyle sounds good let us know how it goes.. | 19:33 |
| bazhang | qwiksilver711, you should install that from the package manager, not from adobe's site | 19:33 |
| bastid_raZor | Doyle: after yo umake the changes.. do a: sudo update-grub .. all set | 19:34 |
| bsod1 | how can I reset nautilus settings? | 19:34 |
| qwiksilver711 | bazhang, where is the package manager? i've only been using for a few days | 19:34 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711, If you want a Shockwave Flash Player, you're currently out of luck. Adobe has closed their Labs site for 64 bits flash plugin until further notice, claiming they are running a complete redesign for the player. | 19:34 |
| qwiksilver711 | stereocaulon, OMG, how do i play Farmville with no flash!!!!, j/k was wanting to run some speed tests | 19:35 |
| _slax0r_ | Hi, I'm having some trouble with Linksys WUSB100 ver.2 USB WLAN adapter. I've installed the rt2870sta driver, followed this guide: http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/ | 19:36 |
| moljac024 | am i crazy here or what is going on | 19:36 |
| _slax0r_ | and all went fine, compile and install | 19:36 |
| Guest70224 | moljac024, y | 19:36 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711, you don't. If you lean heavily on Shockwave, I suggest you try 32 bits instead. | 19:36 |
| _slax0r_ | but there is no ra0 device to be found | 19:36 |
| _slax0r_ | only a pan0 which is not a WLAN device | 19:36 |
| moljac024 | i keep reading online that the ubuntu installer is supposed to have options for encrypted volumes | 19:36 |
| moljac024 | yet i don't see them | 19:36 |
| qwiksilver711 | stereocaulon, i can go without flash for a bit | 19:36 |
| mj8741 | qwicksilver711: isn't flashplayer in syetem admin synaptic package manager | 19:37 |
| Dittersdorf | lag cheking | 19:37 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711, I can put up an alpha version of that player for you, Alphar42 if you like. You can only use that one in combination with Opera, since Firefox is apt to crash on that one. | 19:37 |
| moljac024 | how can i setup ubuntu on a dm-crypt with LUKS encrypted LVM | 19:37 |
| ckennelly | question: I'm trying setup an ssh config to match hosts by wild card with an implied suffix. Is there any way I can substitute that into the HostName entry with the FQDN? | 19:38 |
| qwiksilver711 | oh i'm fine, the only thing i needed it for was speed tests, i'll run some trace routes instead, that sould help | 19:38 |
| Guest70224 | hey there you bun too | 19:39 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711, but that will mean Farmville nor Youtube on that machine... | 19:39 |
| bazhang | !ot > Guest70224 | 19:39 |
| ubottu | Guest70224, please see my private message | 19:39 |
| tt__ | hey, how do I decide if I want 32 or 64 bit version of an os | 19:40 |
| qwiksilver711 | stereocaulon, i was joking about farmvill, now the youtube thing might irritate me, i would try the alpha version | 19:40 |
| kralyk1 | tt__: if your processor supports 64-bit, definitely choose 64-bit os | 19:40 |
| tt__ | ubuntu doesnt seem to say in the basic system monitor what type of architecture my proc has | 19:40 |
| Guest70224 | tt__, what architecture is your proc | 19:41 |
| kralyk1 | tt__: yea you need to get that info elsewhere, i.e. wiki | 19:41 |
| Stereocaulon | Allright, I'll upload it to my VPS and provide you with a link on a private channel. | 19:41 |
| Stereocaulon | qwiksilver711,^ | 19:41 |
| qwiksilver711 | thanks stereacaulon | 19:41 |
| DanaG | Heh, if I enable the volume-control sound, it plays the sound about 5-10 times per second while I hold my volume softkey. | 19:42 |
| DanaG | It makes it sound like brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrup | 19:42 |
| kralyk1 | tt__: issue 'uname -p' in shell, that will tell you what processor you got | 19:42 |
| DanaG | And it uses 100% of one CPU core while doing so. | 19:42 |
| tt__ | some intel t2050 both cores at 1.6gh | 19:42 |
| DanaG | unknown | 19:42 |
| DanaG | that's my processor. | 19:42 |
| DanaG | try -m instead. | 19:42 |
| ben72 | I'm having trouble with a usb device not showing up as a ttyUSB* when it should.. :( | 19:42 |
| DanaG | x86_64 | 19:42 |
| DanaG | that's -m. | 19:42 |
| kralyk1 | oh yea youre right, -m is better | 19:42 |
| DanaG | -p returns "unknown" on 32-bit, 64-bit, and even ARM. | 19:42 |
| Guest70224 | tt__, use 32 | 19:43 |
| tt__ | i686 | 19:43 |
| bastid_raZor | kralyk1: uname does not tell you what type of processor you have.. it tells you what arch you have installed | 19:43 |
| Guest70224 | tt__, use 32 | 19:43 |
| DanaG | "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows what actual CPU. | 19:44 |
| kralyk1 | tt__: you'r processor is Yonah, which is 32-bit only | 19:44 |
| Guest70224 | tt__, 32 is for most users 64 is for the prso | 19:44 |
| bazhang | Guest70224, that is simply not true | 19:44 |

| Guest70224 | bazhang, sry what? | 19:44 |
| kralyk1 | Guest70224: 64-bit is for everyone with 64-bit processor | 19:44 |
| tt__ | this is kinda unrelated, do you think this system is capable of direct32 and pixel shader 2.0...I have a feeling yes and no respectively | 19:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | kralyk1, +1 | 19:45 |
| Guest60046 | hello, can anyone please suggest me a tool to measure internet bandwidth in realtime by hosts, of my home network ? i'm having a hardtime with iftop.. | 19:45 |
| bazhang | Guest70224, 64 bit is not for the pros. it is for everyone if they have the computer to support it. | 19:45 |
| Stdedos | In a terminal I write "sudo service squid stop" and terminal responces "stop: Unknown instance: " | 19:45 |
| tt__ | I only use 64 on my top of the line machine, I want to see if I can get this laptop in line to run onlive service | 19:45 |
| tt__ | I thin ill stick with 32 for thi machine based on the advice | 19:45 |
| bazhang | !ru | assholl | 19:45 |
| ubottu | assholl: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 19:45 |
| Xcell | try /etc/init.d/squid stop | 19:45 |
| tt__ | regardless the archi shouldnt matter to onlive too much I dont think | 19:46 |
| kralyk1 | tt__: definitely, Intel t2050 can't run 64-bit | 19:46 |
| qwiksilver711 | tt__ i think thats a good idea | 19:46 |

| evident | hi... i am having a newly set up vroot server on ubuntu 8.04lts. After updating with apt-get I wanted to change my shell to zsh, which I did by "chsh" and entered /bin/zsh | 19:48 |
| evident | but now after logging out I can't get in via ssh anymore... it says my root password is wrong | 19:48 |
| Gwar | bazhang, while that may be true. 99% of what works for Lucid, Works for Isadora too. | 19:48 |
| xxu | im trying to play a free movie i downloaded. I loaded the .srt subtitles but the subtitles are about 30 seconds delayed from what's actually said in the movie. Can anyone help? | 19:48 |
| Azalis | because its close enough id just adapt it to mint 9 | 19:48 |
| evident | can anybody help me? | 19:48 |
| keon | excuse the noobish question, but how do i customize my xubuntu 10.4 appearance | 19:49 |
| Gwar | Azalis, Yes. In almost every case, tutorials for Lucid work on Isadora | 19:49 |
| datacrusher | xxu, search for some subtitle workshop | 19:49 |
| xxu | datacrusher: what does "some subtitle workshop mean/ | 19:50 |
| Azalis | so my 360 pad for pc will work with 10.04, i emulate old dos and snes games using it | 19:50 |
| Exavion | xxu: Either find different subtitles (usually found online), reencode the movie and adjust the subs yourself (avidemux is a good tool for that) or maybe VLC can let you adjust them on playback, but that im not sure about | 19:50 |
| xxu | Exavion: thank you | 19:50 |
| Azalis | with vlc you can play the video with external subs and can mux them in when playing | 19:50 |
| xxu | what does mux mena? | 19:50 |
| xxu | mean* | 19:50 |
| tekai | Any ideas on why my laptop running Lucid can't change monitor resolutions? If I change to a lower resolution (ie, 640x480), the screen fades to white, which I'm assuming if a feature of the monitor. It used to work in Karmic. Fortunately, it works at the highest resolution, but nothing else. | 19:51 |

| Azalis | mplayer /home/azalis/testfile.avi | 20:05 |
| Stereocaulon | Luksor, try setting the the proper options in your BIOS. Most motherboards support booting from USB nowadays | 20:05 |
| blouaap | Loshki, http://pastebin.com/q2t5Xacg | 20:05 |
| Luksor | there is the possibility of doing the initial boot from the diskette and then get the rest in pendrive | 20:06 |
| xxu | brb | 20:07 |
| Stereocaulon | Luksor, by chaining the bootsequence...Yes, that is possible, however diskette is a medium prone to failure. | 20:07 |
| Azalis | is booting ubuntu possible from EFI machines? eg intel mac mini? | 20:07 |
| Luksor | Stereocaulon: there is no such option is the old pc | 20:07 |
| Loshki | blouaap: I don't see anything obviously wrong. When you run 'top' in a terminal, what's using up all the cpu time? | 20:07 |
| Evil_ | Is there a way I can install IntelliJ IDEA through the software center? | 20:08 |
| Stereocaulon | Luksor, that is not an option in the BIOS, it's an option in the GRUB/ lilo bootloader on your diskette. | 20:08 |
| Luksor | Stereocaulon: just need to do this once | 20:08 |
| blouaap | Loshki, seems to be xorg | 20:09 |
| blouaap | but why would boot be slow | 20:09 |
| blouaap | when xorg hasnt even started | 20:09 |

| Loshki | blouaap: right, not sure that's really your problem. Disk problems generally get reported in the logs. You can check the SMART data for the disk drives via gsmartctl http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/About but at this stage we're still guessing... | 20:11 |

| xxu | Loshki: how? | 20:19 |

| Algorithm_42 | hello | 20:28 |
| bazhang | mursalat, please read the link provided | 20:29 |
| ddrj | oh btw how do i find out what driver my usb wireless card is using? when i go to network manager and click connection information it says that it's using usb driver | 20:29 |
| ddrj | but i could've sworn the driver for this usb wireless card was rt3070sta | 20:29 |
| bazhang | ddrj, the driver? checked in hardware drivers? | 20:30 |
| ddrj | bazhang, yap | 20:30 |
| ddrj | nothing in hardware drivers x( | 20:30 |
| bazhang | ddrj, what does lsusb show as the chipset | 20:30 |
| Evil_ | How do you set Environmental Variables? | 20:30 |
| ddrj | hmm checking | 20:30 |
| maccam941 | ddrj: look for something familiar from running lsmod? | 20:30 |
| mursalat | .thanks bazhang - i am sorry for sounding like this .. just feelin desperate. | 20:31 |
| ddrj | bazhang, ls usb says: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1737:0078 Linksys | 20:31 |
| ddrj | maccam941, thanks let me check from lsmod | 20:31 |

| toolbear | hi. say, my locale is utf-8, but all my text files and whatnot get saved by default as ascii. why? and how would i change this so that the encoding is by default utf-8? | 20:32 |
| a5an0 | is anyone else getting bad sigs from the main lucid and lucid-security repos | 20:33 |
| a5an0 | ? | 20:33 |
| ddrj | maccam941, nothing familiar from lsmod, it's weird, this is the problem i have: when i turn on ubuntu WITH the usb wifi card inserted, i don't get any connection to the net, but when i remove it and put it back into the usb slot AFTER ubuntu has started, it will connect to the net | 20:33 |
| SlidingHorn | !anyone > a5an0 | 20:34 |
| ubottu | a5an0, please see my private message | 20:34 |
| ddrj | so that's why i was thinking that adding my usb wifi card driver to start up would alleviate this problem.. | 20:34 |
| SlidingHorn | a5an0, what problems are *you* having...asking if people are having problems with it isn't going to get much help | 20:34 |
| maccam941 | ddrj: it probably doesn't work from bootup because the hardware is detected before networkmanager can do it configuration magic? | 20:34 |
| mursalat | can u plz tell me one thing then.. i installed JDK.. by loggin in as root, then typing sh /home/mydir/jdk-version-watever.bin but then when i try to install eclipse by clicking the eclipse icon then i get error - "no virtual machine was found after searching the following locations /home/mursalat/......somethings...." | 20:34 |
| trism | toolbear: ascii is a subset of utf-8, are you sure the encoding is incorrect? have you tried any characters that aren't in ascii? | 20:35 |
| Vooloo | I need to take a screenshot and crop it and send it by IM quickly, what are my options? Don't want to load up GIMP just to crop it quickly... | 20:35 |
| ddrj | maccam941, ahhhhh i see, so no use then | 20:35 |
| ddrj | i guess i'll just stick it in after bootup | 20:35 |
| Traveler0 | once i edit the xorg.conf do i have to rebot for it to take efect? | 20:35 |
| SlidingHorn | Vooloo, not sure if it has that exact functionality, but you can try shutter: sudo apt-get install shutter | 20:35 |
| === xUmaRix_ is now known as xUmaRix | ||
| maccam941 | ddrj: it might be worth filing a bug, like maybe networkmanager should check for devices that are already connected | 20:36 |
| maccam941 | you'll probably need to check your logs | 20:36 |
| toolbear | trism: no, i just used the "file" command | 20:36 |
| Vooloo | SlidingHorn: will look at it, F-Spot actually had Crop function | 20:36 |
| ddrj | maccam941, alright thanks i've never filed a bug before, let me try | 20:36 |
| mursalat | i BEG anyone with linux knowledge to PLEASE open up a private chat with me. | 20:37 |

| bazhang | mursalat, best to keep it in channel. be patient and don't repeat every five seconds | 20:37 |

| Vooloo | SlidingHorn: yeah shutter was awesome | 20:41 |
| ddrj | HI anyone here install dwarf fortress on ubuntu? | 20:41 |
| kushalsejwal | SlidingHorn: any suggestion for a free online magazine on Linux ( or Ubuntu) | 20:41 |
| amiloL1300 | i will tel you how i managed to overcome the video and mp3 playing issue with (at least) vlc: i disabled Xv | 20:41 |
| SlidingHorn | kushalsejwal, there are TONS of ubuntu related sites for info...too many to list. I usually discourage recommending this in the channel, but google it. | 20:42 |
| Traveler0 | do i have to reboot for the xorg.conf to take efect | 20:42 |
| toolbear | trism: i tried your suggestion. apparently, the only difference is that the "file" command says the encoding is ascii if only ascii characters are present, but if non-ascii utf-8 characters are present, then it will say that the encoding is utf-8 | 20:42 |
| bazhang | kushalsejwal, check fullcircle magazine for Ubuntu | 20:42 |
| xguru | Traveler0: atleast log out and back in | 20:42 |
| Traveler0 | ok | 20:42 |
| bastid_raZor | Traveler0: restart X or log out then back in | 20:42 |
| kushalsejwal | SlidingHorn: I know there are numerous Ubuntu related websites, I was asking about "magazines" | 20:43 |
| Traveler0 | TY | 20:43 |
| bazhang | kushalsejwal, try in #ubuntu-offtopic then | 20:43 |
| kushalsejwal | bazhang: yeah I guess fullcircle is the only good free maganize for linux / ubuntu | 20:43 |
| kushalsejwal | bazhang: ok :) | 20:43 |
| Speakers | I just installed DeveDe DVD burning software, I don't see it on my system. | 20:44 |
| kushalsejwal | one more query has anybody used empathy for IRC? I am using it and while sending this message but unable to see the member list in any channel? | 20:44 |
| SlidingHorn | speakers...look in /usr/bin | 20:44 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: it is conversion software. it doesn't actually do the burning | 20:45 |
| xguru | kushalsejwal: i think i used empathy once... type: /users | 20:45 |
| SlidingHorn | speakers: also, bastid_raZor is right...if you want to burn, use brasero or k3b (for KDE) | 20:45 |
| Speakers | so I shouldnt have uninstalled Brasero? | 20:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: in the GUI it is located in Applications > Sound & Video | 20:45 |
| Traveler0 | how do i copy a file from one drive to another | 20:45 |
| kushalsejwal | xguru: unkown command :( | 20:45 |
| xguru | kushalsejwal: heh, maybe that was for pigin? i dunno. I recommend getting xchat | 20:45 |
| SlidingHorn | Speakers, nope, but it's ok...easy to get back: sudo apt-get install brasero | 20:45 |
| kushalsejwal | xguru: IRC worked perfectly with jaunty, seems like a bug in this version. I would try xchat | 20:46 |
| nick_goodfate | kushalsejwal: in conversation menu , see if show contact list is ticked | 20:46 |

(I know i was provided a link, i read it, and it just said my device is not supported - so | 20:47 |
| SlidingHorn | kushalsejwal, I believe jaunty still had Pidgin -- ubuntu has since changed over to Empathy. Some folks like the change, others dont...you can always switch back to Pidgin | 20:47 |

| enthdegree | Help appreciated! | 20:48 |
| bastid_raZor | Traveler0: that depends on what and where you're copying | 20:49 |
| SlidingHorn | mursalat, well if it's not supported, i hate to say it, but you should get another device that is -- or reverse engineer a driver for it/find someone that knows how to do so... :-\ | 20:49 |

| abys | how can i fix it | 21:02 |
| ubutom | SushiMashi, try to run it as administrator | 21:03 |
| ikonia | abys: check the config file for where it wants to create the socket file | 21:03 |
| ljruff | jeremywi, microphones and webcams are kind of an issue with Linux, is it a machine microphone? | 21:03 |
| bazhang | cannonfodder, not needed | 21:03 |
| abys | ok | 21:03 |
| mahound_ | cannonfodder, ext* systems don't need defragmentation | 21:03 |
| cannonfodder | thanks you | 21:03 |
| Loshki | !defrag | cannonfodder | 21:03 |
| ubottu | cannonfodder: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 21:03 |
| cannonfodder | thats cool | 21:03 |
| jeremywi | Yes, it's embedded into the computer. | 21:03 |
| SlidingHorn | SushiMashi, what does the error log file that points to say? (http://paste.ubuntu.com) also, follow ubutom's suggestion | 21:03 |
| SushiMashi | ubutom: I installed as admin but still the error occurred. | 21:03 |
| piju | any amateur radio here ? | 21:03 |
| ljruff | jeremywi, you can lspci to see if it shows up and then try to find a driver for it. | 21:03 |
| SushiMashi | Slidinghorn: This is all it showed to me http://i27.tinypic.com/9tn052.png | 21:03 |
| ikonia | piju: just ask your real question | 21:03 |
| mtx_init | what can one do when "alsactl store" doesn't work and settings do not persist? | 21:03 |
| ljruff | !ask | piju | 21:03 |
| ubottu | piju: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:03 |
| mahound_ | acpi problems suspending, white screen, anyone_ | 21:04 |
| mahound_ | ? | 21:04 |
| ubutom | Hm, SushiMashi then I don't know | 21:04 |
| SlidingHorn | SushiMashi, the error dialog tells you to look @ an error log....what's in the error log? (post it to http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 21:04 |
| ikonia | ljruff: you don't have to give every user !ask after I ask them to ask a question | 21:04 |
| cannonfodder | nice defrag link | 21:04 |
| Loshki | ljruff: I would fire any programmer who relied on names that differed only in upper/lower case.... | 21:04 |
| ljruff | ikonia, Am I? I'm sorry. I am not really paying attention to what you say. =P | 21:04 |
| jeremywi | ljruff: Is this it? "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)" | 21:05 |
| cannonfodder | alright one last question.....i installed kate on ubuntu and i think it installed all this kde crap...now i have all these kde proccesses at startup and its slowing my laptop down...i want all this k crap removed, even if it means removing kate...anyone know what i can do? | 21:05 |
| ljruff | Loshki, I'm not 1) A programmer or 2) Working for you or 3) Doing this on any computer other than my own personal machine. | 21:05 |
| bastid_raZor | abys: in /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf does this exist: socket = /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock | 21:05 |
| ljruff | jeremywi, No, that looks like one of your sound controllers. | 21:05 |
| SushiMashi | Slidinghorn: This is the log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/454103/ | 21:05 |
| ljruff | If I were working for someone else, Loshki, I would follow their conventions. =D | 21:06 |
| Loshki | ljruff: that wasn't really my point: rather, that it's a terribly bad practice that encourages mistakes, that's all... | 21:06 |
| penguinized | cannonfodder: you can re-install your system, or completely remove all kde packages. Decide yourself what takes less time. | 21:06 |
| abys | theye socket = /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock | 21:06 |
| jeremywi | ljruff: Well, if that's not it, I don't think I see anything. | 21:06 |

| ljruff | jeremywi, In general, yes sir. I would not buy anything from Microsoft, like their wireless headset. I would get a logitech product. Ideally it should work out-of-the-box. | 21:13 |
| bastid_raZor | almien: glad to help. | 21:13 |
| centaur5 | bastid_raZor: Thanks, much appreciated! | 21:14 |
| jeremywi | ljruff: And should it detect a microphone that I plug into the microphone jack on the computer? | 21:14 |
| abys | bastid_raZor , do you know another way to secure ssh from bruteforce attacks ? | 21:14 |
| bastid_raZor | abys: i use fail2ban. :\ | 21:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | almien, bastid_raZor is correct, simply uninstall indicator-messages | 21:14 |
| ljruff | jeremywi, Again that's up in the air. It depends on whether or not your Linux will detect your phone jack. Does it detect your headset jack when you plugin headsets? | 21:14 |
| bastid_raZor | almien: when i did this i had to log out then back in before it took effect. | 21:15 |

| ljruff | pepper_haze, Rhythmbox, Amarok - those are cool names. | 21:49 |
| pepper_haze | windows has all those cool audio players with the names like amp and stuff, its like having a virtual amp on your computer | 21:49 |

| Speakers | The project does not contain all necessary Video DVD files. | 21:57 |
| Speakers | The resulting DVD will most likely not be playablle on a hifi DVD Player | 21:57 |
| Speakers | Could not determine size of resulting image file. | 21:57 |
| Speakers | k3b wouldn't burn a movie I have. | 21:57 |
| dajhorn | Bob3: Did one video card work properly on this computer? | 21:58 |
| bastid_raZor | mektawik: sorry, wrong ncik | 21:58 |
| lisa__ | Bob3, I would guess that it's continuing the boot on the other screen. Do you have both monitors on and working? | 21:58 |
| bastid_raZor | steve__: you need to restart ssh after making changes to /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 21:58 |
| mektawik | anyone know how to get software to install even if it's from an untrusted source? | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | Bob3, you probly have to make one card the default , especially if they use different drivers | 21:58 |
| imi | hello | 21:59 |
| Bob3 | dajhorn, I haven't tried removing one of the cards yet | 21:59 |
| imi | what package to install if I want kmail to speak hungarian? | 21:59 |
| Bob3 | BluesKaj, how do you go about doing that? I'm assuming it's not a problem with my X.org configuration, since I can't even get to the console | 21:59 |
| === solidturtle_ is now known as solidturtle | ||
| Traveler0 | would it be an issue with my drivers if i cant get over screen res of 1024x768 | 22:00 |
| steve__ | Having some SSH problems. I have setup on the client some options in ssh_config that include Remote port forwarding. For some reason it wont setup the forwarding from there but will do so correctly from the command line when it is called. There are no useful messages when using the -v on the command line. Nothing shows up on netstat | 22:00 |
| Bob3 | BluesKaj, is there something I can append to the kernel in grub? | 22:00 |
| Speakers | k3b fails I guess to convert anything to DVD. | 22:00 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: k3b is not supposed to convert things.. just burn them. use devede to convert then k3b to burn | 22:00 |
| Speakers | I have devede | 22:00 |
| Bob3 | I guess I'll try removing one of the video cards...I'm going to bring up IRC on my laptop while I do that | 22:00 |
| Speakers | have no idea how to use it bastid_raZor | 22:00 |
| steve__ | bastid_raZor, Sorry Missed that, I havent made any changes to sshd_config on the server. it is all client side config changes i am making. | 22:01 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: you don't know how to use devede? | 22:01 |
| Speakers | no, it doesn't show up on my system under Sound and Video | 22:01 |
| Bob3 | lisa__, I have 3 monitors...so all but one of my ports are being used | 22:01 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: type devede in a terminal and the gui will start | 22:01 |
| Bob3 | lisa__, I turned them all on, and also tried moving one to thempty port...no luck | 22:01 |
| Speakers | I see | 22:01 |
| Bob3 | I'll see what removing the secodn card does | 22:01 |
| BluesKaj | Bob3, I recall using the BIOS to choose which card, but in my case one was onboard and the other was pci , so i chose the pci which was the better card of course | 22:02 |
| steve__ | bastid_raZor, Strangely it works perfectly when configured over the command line. And the syntax seems correct based on documentation and examples i have found on the net | 22:02 |
| Speakers | ah thank you bastid_raZor | 22:02 |
| Bob3 | BluesKaj, ah | 22:02 |
| bastid_raZor | steve__: what are you trying to accomplish? | 22:02 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: sure, the menus should update, if not they will on a relog | 22:02 |
| Speakers | does it take long to convert a 700MB file? | 22:03 |
| Speakers | to DVD? | 22:03 |
| steve__ | bastid_raZor, to automate the setting up of port forwarding when connecting to the host from my ssh client. | 22:03 |
| bastid_raZor | Speakers: for my desktop on a 32bit install it takes about an hour. pentium D 3GHz processor | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | bastid_raZor, k3b can convert files if one enables the plugin | 22:04 |
| evaluser | ljruff: What about developer support packages?... I actually compile a lot of my own binaries and I don't want that to be missing | 22:04 |
| Speakers | Never heard of Pentium D. | 22:04 |
| Speakers | 4 is all I've heard of | 22:04 |
| Speakers | I'm on a 2.6Ghz | 22:04 |
| steve__ | bastid_raZor, The config options are generally working fine as I have demonstrated with other options in ssh_config. Its only the RemoteForward option that I am having problems with.. | 22:04 |
| lisa__ | I have two laptops, one only has ethernet. I want to connect the laptops with the ethernet cable, and use the wireless on the second laptop for BOTH to access the internet... Know how? | 22:05 |
| evaluser | Speakers: Pentium D chip is just a lower vcore | 22:05 |
| ljruff | evaluser, You'll need to ask someone else. I don't know very much about that. =P | 22:05 |

| ubottu | cheater99: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 22:06 |
| lisa__ | Thanks SlidingHorn! | 22:06 |
| cheater99 | does anyone know how to style/skin the notification popups? | 22:06 |
| cheater99 | the ones i get are black with rounded corners but i've seen people on the net with a different design, and i wonder how to switch that | 22:06 |
| cheater99 | the other design had a gray background with a blue bar to the side | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | cheater99, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564399 | 22:07 |
| cheater99 | oh, let me try that | 22:09 |
| bastid_raZor | steve__: i don't see a 'RemoteForward' option in ssh_config or sshd_config | 22:09 |
| Traveler0 | can someone find me the xorg.conf for a radeon Card | 22:10 |
| rascal999 | how do i change this to display only the first headline? http://pastebin.com/BJhf9Qn3 | 22:11 |
| cheater99 | SlidingHorn: do you know if there are any custom skins to get anywhere? | 22:11 |
| SlidingHorn | I'm sure there are...no clue where to find them...found that link on google after a search for: ubuntu notification popup style | 22:11 |
| evaluser | LOL amd iso for 64bit... I don't think so... Does ubuntu have an intel 64 bit iso? | 22:12 |
| steve__ | bastid_raZor, thanks for the help! It is recognised my ssh and using the verbose option shows that it attempts to setup the port forwarding. See http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config | 22:12 |
| bastid_raZor | evaluser: same difference. amd64 works for any 64bit arch | 22:12 |
| Counterspell | sudo gem update --system gives me "gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get." but as we all know the packages are always hopelessly out of date. What's the deal FORCING people to use the prepackaged libs? Do you also disable CPAN? | 22:12 |
| cesc | could someone recommend me an application to deal with podcasts in ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| evaluser | bastid_raZor: I'll take your word for it but the instruction set isn't 100% compatible between AMD and Intel... and I'll be losing some Intel specific features. | 22:13 |
| SlidingHorn | cesc, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127750 | 22:13 |
| cheater99 | SlidingHorn: thanks, i searched around for a couple hours (!) but didn't find that forum post :D | 22:13 |
| ddrj | this is so stupid, when i start an application through terminal, if i exit out of terminal, then the application closes as well | 22:13 |
| cesc | thanks SlidingHorn | 22:13 |
| SlidingHorn | ddrj -- that's the way it works I think on any system. You can try Alt+F2 to run the app | 22:14 |
| trism | Counterspell: you can't update rubygems that way because it would lead to inconsistancies in the package manager, it is generally a better idea to install rubygems from source, if you need the latest gems | 22:14 |
| bastid_raZor | steve__: nice article. | 22:14 |
| prakriti | is there an applet that tracks missed notify notifications? | 22:14 |
| ddrj | SlidingHorn, ahhhh, let me try that | 22:15 |
| Oer | ddrj easy, type: "nautilus &' and nautilus will work independently | 22:15 |
| Gazok | Is it possible to turn off the joined/disconnected messages? | 22:15 |
| tsimpson | imi: probably language-pack-kde-hu | 22:15 |
| evaluser | Another silly question does ubuntu use gnome as the wdm still ... e.g. is there still kubuntu vs ubuntu ? | 22:15 |
| Gazok | (in Empathy) | 22:15 |
| bazhang | evaluser, kubuntu uses kde4 | 22:15 |
| darklust | I've recently installed a theme that relies on the gtk2-murrine package, and since then I cannot change the background of gnome without a forkbomb occuring and opening a ton of File Explorer threads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I really don't know how the problem started. | 22:16 |
| evaluser | bazhang: I can use either KDE is usually a pig though but it's easier for most of the ppl that I recommend Nix to. Thanks. | 22:16 |
| Counterspell | trism, then the system is broken. people need to be able to use gem to install things. just like CPAN... | 22:16 |
| ddrj | Oer, thanks for the nautilus suggestion | 22:17 |
| Slart | ddrj: if you exit the terminal by typing "exit" the app shouldn't stop.. if you press the X to close the window it will close though | 22:18 |
| trism | Counterspell: it is not broken, if that were allowed, the package manager would install version x, then rubygems could update itself to version y, but the package manager has no way of knowing that, or what new files it may have installed. Now it would be better if the rubygems package was updated more frequently, but that is a different issue | 22:19 |
| darklust | I've recently installed a theme that relies on the gtk2-murrine package, and since then I cannot change the background of gnome without a forkbomb occuring and opening a ton of File Explorer threads. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I really don't know how the problem started. | 22:19 |
| SlidingHorn | Slart, you can't exit out of the terminal if you run the app using only its command...the prompt will be gone until the app is closed | 22:19 |
| Slart | ddrj: when you type "exit" it reassigns the parent for the processes that run in the terminl, if I understand things correctly.. the X just kills things | 22:19 |
| SlidingHorn | !patience | darklust | 22:19 |
| ubottu | darklust: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 22:19 |
| Slart | SlidingHorn: not if you use & after the command | 22:19 |
| ddrj | Slart, ahhhh, i've been x'ing out instead of typing exit, hm... weird, i just typed exit and nothing happens | 22:19 |
| Counterspell | trism, if someone installs a specific gem then they should know what they are doing and deal with any problems that may come up. people who install gems are typically developers... | 22:20 |
| SlidingHorn | slart: hence the "using only its command" | 22:20 |
| Slart | SlidingHorn: ah, yes.. correct | 22:20 |
| trism | Counterspell: yes, you can update your gems, you just can't update rubygems itself. The problem that you may need a new rubygems for a new gem version is a different issue (and I agree with you, which is why you should install rubygems from source and not from the package manager if you need the latest gems) | 22:21 |
| evaluser | Thanks everyone for the quick answers... need to free up bandwidth now. | 22:21 |
| Counterspell | trism, i see, thanks | 22:21 |

| DrGrov | Ah know I get it | 22:54 |

| bazhang | Slart, not tried it, so can't reliably offer advice there sorry | 23:04 |
| Slart | bazhang: no worries.. thanks for your input | 23:04 |
| Theravadan | anyone know why when I boot up lo is not configured with 127.0.0.1 until I do ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1? | 23:05 |
| erUSUL | Theravadan: revise /etc/network/interfaces | 23:06 |
| Theravadan | erUSUL, I have "auto lo" then "iface lo inet loopback" | 23:06 |
| Theravadan | /etc/init.d/networking restart works | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | Theravadan: then it should be broutght up with the system | 23:07 |
| Theravadan | erUSUL, i got the machine from the manufacturer who fixed it but they did something to mess this up, not sure what exactly.. | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | is there something like security-tracker.debian.org for ubuntu? | 23:08 |
| WoLf_Loonie | thune3: Just checked, and I can't find any warning or error in syslog or dmesg | 23:08 |
| Theravadan | fdown lo && ifup lo does the trick... i'll hack it by putting that in /etc/rc.local | 23:09 |

| Speakers | Using Devente I just converted, it converts to a ISO? | 23:12 |
| magaio | How do I list the contents of a directory in the terminal? | 23:12 |
| thune3 | WoLf_Loonie: it is normal for a drive to do some self maintainence during idle time. (But going unresponsive is not normal) [it is also possible that the drive has been set to do a self SMART SCAN periodically (which can sometimes kill performance) | 23:12 |
| danlock2 | magaio, ls | 23:12 |
| magaio | danlock2: right, thx | 23:12 |
| SlidingHorn | magaio, ls or ls -a | 23:12 |
| magaio | ls -a is for all files, right? | 23:13 |
| Speakers | Using Devente I just converted a avi movie, and it converted it to ISO. Did I do something wrong? | 23:13 |

| qwiksilver711 | i have an alienware m11x with a switchable graphics card, with the lucid 2.6.32 kernel the nvidia card is always running, i want it off. so when i use the 2.6.34 kernel it turns it off but i cant get my broadcom dw1250 wireless n card to work | 23:15 |
| WoLf_Loonie | thune3: the issue is that as soon as I do anything that touches that hd afterwards, the whole system freezes completely, requiring a hard reboot. | 23:16 |
| WoLf_Loonie | thune3: in example, doing a fdisk -l instantly freezes the machine. it reads sda, and hangs. | 23:17 |
| _CommandeR_ | Issues with Wubi and Windows7 Error during boot editing anyone ? | 23:17 |
| SlidingHorn | !anyone | _CommandeR_ | 23:18 |
| ubottu | _CommandeR_: 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? | 23:18 |
| _CommandeR_ | ehm it was my real question so :) | 23:18 |
| _CommandeR_ | "Error during boot editing" <---- | 23:19 |
| SlidingHorn | _CommandeR_, well you're unlikely to get a very helpful answer without telling what the error is, etc. | 23:19 |
| SlidingHorn | not being mean, just trying to help you get help :-) | 23:19 |
| _CommandeR_ | hm thought it was a wide known error. | 23:20 |
| Cpt_Zyph | hey guys i'm trying to help a co worker here . he has the full install disk for the new ubuntu and got it working on one of his laptops but now on his P4 desktop it locks up when it trys to boot.. is there something else i could download version wise.. or try notn sure why its freez'n on him to be honest | 23:20 |
| danlock2 | Cpt_Zyph, how much ram does the machine have? | 23:21 |
| Cpt_Zyph | 2 gigs | 23:21 |
| danlock2 | hrm, there goes that theory. | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U | Cpt_Zyph: What Graphics card? | 23:21 |
| _CommandeR_ | During wubi install the boot editor points to C:Windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe instead of C:Windows\System32\bcdedit.exe (Windows 7 64bit) | 23:22 |
| Cpt_Zyph | not entirly sure.. was about to tell him to do the new fedora relase with limited graphics.. cuz was think'n the vid was to blame as well | 23:22 |
| pcp | Hi, does anyone know how to get Network Manager to complete ignore an interface? I've tried setting the iface down in /etc/networking/interfaces, blacklisting module and i cant do this | 23:23 |
| ubutom | Cpt_Zyph, during what does it lock up? With the installer cd? maybe 64bit cd instead of 32 bit? | 23:23 |
| pcp | everytime i load the module the NetworkManager tries to connect using that setup | 23:23 |
| Cpt_Zyph | Jordan_U just emailed him to find out more about the hardware. he is at a remote office currently | 23:23 |
| === Longhorn|XP is now known as Longhorn | ||
| Cpt_Zyph | ubutom ya i thought that as well but he sent me the link he went to and its a 32 bit.. also the laptop he got it working on wouldn't work with 64bit as that was his first try.. | 23:24 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i'll check back in after i run these questions by him thanks | 23:24 |
| ubutom | Cpt_Zyph, hm, on some machines the installer takes a long time to load | 23:25 |
| Bob3 | pcp: maybe set the interface to manual in /etc/networking/interfaces? | 23:25 |
| pcp | Bob3, right now i have manual wlan1 down | 23:26 |
| zela | has the audio bug for ubuntu been fixed? my sound does not work. | 23:26 |
| Bob3 | pcp: ok, and it still shows up? | 23:26 |
| pcp | Bob3, yep | 23:26 |
| IdleOne | !sound | zela | 23:27 |
| ubottu | zela: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:27 |

| xsaiddx | and now i wanna keep lubuntu updated and dont want to get the ubuntu updates hoe can ido | 23:28 |

| xsaiddx | can someone help me ? | 23:29 |
| IdleOne | zela: I don't know if that will fix it. you haven't said what it is yet | 23:29 |
| zela | IdleOne, i was listening to music and the sound just stopped working, it comes back randomly like 16 minutes later. | 23:29 |
| WoLf_Loonie | thune3: it's alright, I'm trying to find some ideas too. Thanks anyway =) | 23:30 |
| Bob3 | pcp: I'm doing a little searching...really adding it to the interfaces file should make network manager ignore it...hmmm | 23:31 |
| pcp | Bob3, maybe i got the syntax wrong? i have 'manual wlan1 down' | 23:32 |
| thune3 | zela: is it truly random, or can you correlate it to "after i run application X, the sound goes out for 15 minutes"? | 23:32 |
| zela | thune3, it is truly random | 23:33 |
| thune3 | zela: this is through headphones or powered speakers? | 23:33 |

| are_ee | trying to install XP to the blank one, but the xp installer can't recognize the partition and won't let me install on it | 23:35 |
| are_ee | could it be because I have the secondary drive set to slave? do i need it set as primary? | 23:35 |

| St-Lemur | I've got an Ubuntu desktop with a brand-new blank, unpartitioned 1TB drive. I want to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu on this new drive. What's best, doing this with the USB key method or partitioning the new drive from here? | 23:37 |
| zela | can i just use "usermod -l login-name old-name" that command to change my username? | 23:38 |
| St-Lemur | (and then installing Ubuntu on the new drive from here, making it bootable, etc) | 23:38 |
| Bob3 | pcp, I think it needs to be something like "iface wlan1 down" | 23:38 |
| Bob3 | pcp, maybe it's "iface wlan1 manual" | 23:39 |
| Bob3 | "down" | 23:39 |
| pcp | Bob3, let me try that | 23:39 |

| clayg | anyone in here using an acer netbook/laptop with ubuntu and liking it? | 23:42 |
| jim | wait, just had a thought | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | willwork4foo: All bug reports start out unconfirmed, it's not that developers are ignoring it but rather likely just that nobody has had the chance to review it at all. | 23:43 |
| willwork4foo | Jordan_U, fair enough... was it you who suggested that a bit of hackery might resolve the issue when I was asking about it the other day? | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | willwork4foo: No. | 23:45 |
| willwork4foo | fair enough | 23:46 |
| clayg | on the netbook remix, when you are installing one of the options is to require a password while logging in to also decrypt the home folder, i'd like to do this but does having your homefoler encrypted/decrypted make it any slower or is it the same once decrypted? | 23:47 |
| willwork4foo | clayg, it's pretty transparent | 23:48 |
| willwork4foo | clayg, I use it, and I honestly don't notice any slowdown. YMMV - I run an N450 processor with 2GB of RAM | 23:48 |
| clayg | nice willwork4foo , i actually just bought netbooks with that processor | 23:49 |
| clayg | one a dell mini 10 and the other today, an acer netbook, both running ubuntu | 23:49 |
| willwork4foo | clayg, I have a rebranded Acer Aspire One (rebranded as an eMachines 350) | 23:49 |
| clayg | returning the dell (with ubuntu) | 23:49 |
| clayg | willwork4foo, you mind if i /msg you? | 23:49 |
| willwork4foo | it works like a dream - with the exception of the built-in mic being rubbish and not working | 23:50 |
