| Uboy | Thanks VCoolio . where can I change my pass without insert old pass? (my system does't authentificate my password for sudo, Software Source and..., I use lucid) | 00:00 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: so i have to remove the nvidia driver from grub? | 00:00 |
| flypiper | I need a driver for ipw9345 and it's in non-free source , can somebody point me in the right direction??? | 00:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | gionnico, to my knowledge you need to use the USB/Startup Disk Creator thing to create Persistant USB drives | 00:00 |
| gionnico | duffydack: dd will not give me free space for documents, will it? | 00:00 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, just one example i have 1200 dvds and it took me 2 weeks to build a data base of them i do not want to do that again lol a back up took 30 secs and have used it twice already lol | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: well you can't log in at all at the moment right? | 00:00 |
| gionnico | ZykoticK9: but i dont use ubuntu | 00:00 |
| microcluster | SlidingHorn, i've a lot of gb on it | 00:00 |
| gionnico | an equivalent tool for any distro? | 00:00 |
| duffydack | gionnico, so you want persistence.. ok then.. there are guides to making casper-rw out there, google. | 00:00 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: i can with a cli | 00:00 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: i just changed tty | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: right well data CD's and DVD's don't last forever, so well every like two years or so, you should make new ones really | 00:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | gionnico, could you use a LiveCD to create the USB image perhaps? | 00:01 |
| soadkombucha | Tootoot222: Yeah I know that much. I don't want the script to be modified by anyone but me if it ever needs to be. | 00:01 |
| gionnico | ZykoticK9: heh no really. if i created a livecd then i would use it | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: right, but you can log in, but only to command line? | 00:01 |
| Uboy | where can I change my pass without insert old pass? (my system does't authentificate my password for sudo, Software Source and..., I use lucid) | 00:01 |
| soadkombucha | Tootoot222: What about the GRUB issue? | 00:01 |
| gionnico | i dont have a empty CD rom now | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | ^xellos^: uhmm | 00:01 |
| hiexpo | !persistent | 00:01 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: yes | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | ^xellos^: still Flash issue right? | 00:01 |
| iceroot | Uboy: as root you can | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: yeah its messed up | 00:01 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: can i remove the driver from the command lne? | 00:01 |
| SlidingHorn | microcluster, unfortunately there's no way to do that, if I remember correctly. It's always suggested that you keep an unencrypted backup if you choose to encrypt your home directory | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: time to try recovery mode | 00:02 |
| Uboy | iceroot How? | 00:02 |
| SlidingHorn | microcluster, see here for more information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: uh yeah with the correct command sure, but not sure which that is, anyway recovery mode will let you do it I guess | 00:02 |
| VCoolio | clayg: for i in $(ls); do zip -r $i.zip $i; done <-- my last stab at it | 00:02 |
| microcluster | SlidingHorn, ok thanks | 00:02 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: ok i'll reboot and try | 00:02 |
| iceroot | Uboy: sudo -i and then passwd theusername | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: I think theres an option xfix or something like that still | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: if not well you need command to remove it | 00:03 |
| iceroot | Uboy: maybe sudo passwd username is also working | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: or I think theres still a fixing xorg ooption | 00:03 |
| gionnico | duffydack: i see it's easy | 00:03 |
| gionnico | just loopmount the iso, create the empty file of right size and format it ext3 | 00:03 |
| Anvoid | i want to get mozilla thunderbird working but it exits. whenever thunderbird connects to aim/aol server to update mails, it happens. this works well when i add mail accounts from gmail, hotmail, etc. any clues? thank you. | 00:03 |
| ^xellos^ | sebsebseb,: thanks for help, i will do a fresh 10.1 install | 00:04 |
| soadkombucha | Tootoot222: I also got the grub issue. I'll be back shortly after I test a reboot and test my script. | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | ^xellos^: you could do yeah | 00:04 |
| duffydack | gionnico, use a virtualbox install to make the cd/usb, or use portable ubuntu (not sure it`d work never tried) | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | ^xellos^: or just upgrade to it | 00:04 |
| Uboy | iceroot when i type sudo -i, the system want form me the password and when i insert that, system say password wrong | 00:04 |
| VCoolio | Uboy: did you change hosts file and not hostname file or other way round? check if /etc/hosts contains correct hostname | 00:04 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, i have never heard that before that the life on a cd/dvd is only two years / i was refering to a library | 00:04 |
| gionnico | duffydack: no looks like loop mount and dd is all what i need | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | ^xellos^: good idea to check your CD ISO before using by the way | 00:04 |
| iceroot | Uboy: then insert the correct password | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | ^xellos^ | 00:04 |
| ubottu | ^xellos^: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:04 |
| iceroot | Uboy: its the password from your current logged in user | 00:05 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: ummm google? | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: not 2 years well it can be | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: they tend to last like 5 or 7 or maybe 10 years, apparantly | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: I mean CD R DVD R | 00:05 |
| Uboy | iceroot i know, but the system does't accept this! | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: CD RW DVD RW | 00:05 |
| iceroot | Uboy: but you are logged in with the user and password | 00:05 |
| * duffydack has a cd that still reads that he wrote back in 1996 | 00:06 | |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: and after a while the disc doesn't work as well as it used to | 00:06 |
| Alan502 | sebsebseb: there's a command named xfig and another one named xmix | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: depends though on the CD/DVD | 00:06 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, true | 00:06 |
| iceroot | Uboy: so i am sure you have misstyped the password, using capslock,different keyboard-layout or something like that | 00:06 |
| duffydack | its also a cheap nasty disc and totally transparent in its dye :) | 00:06 |
| soadkombucha | Tootoot222: Thank you very much for the help the script works perfectly. Stupid realtek wifi cards. | 00:07 |
| Uboy | iceroot I'm surprised, the main problem and joke is here, in login window, the system dont wanna me the password, but in any command after login and sudo, want me! | 00:07 |
| iceroot | Uboy: you have autologin enabled as it seems | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: well I got a lot of old CD's here, that I want to go through, that will take a long time, and most of them haven't been looked after properly, and I have no idea what is on them, since not labbeled, quite a lot will be blank CDs in fact. and yeah throw out what I don't want. A bit like how I got a lot of papers here, that I want to go through and get rid of what I don't want, but not done it again yet. | 00:08 |
| Uboy | iceroot ok, but waht can i do now? | 00:09 |
| hiexpo | ^xellos^, place iso in home folder right click on it click properties copy top line /name of it / close it / no changes / open terminal type md5sum paste what you copied and get the output/ compare to ubuntu's iso md5 | 00:09 |
| iceroot | Uboy: remember your password | 00:09 |
| Uboy | any command with sudo needs password and I don't have that | 00:09 |
| iceroot | Uboy: have a look at /var/log/auth.log about th error-message | 00:09 |
| ricky_goop | may somebody help me? how do i change the splash screen on ubunutu? | 00:09 |
| Uboy | I know that successfully | 00:09 |
| Alan502 | somebody help me getting my kubuntu again! | 00:09 |
| soadkombucha | iceroot: Couldn't he sudo -s and change the password through bash using the root account? | 00:09 |
| iceroot | Uboy: sudo wants your user-password | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: to late they left | 00:09 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, leave it alone | 00:09 |
| hiexpo | oh well | 00:10 |
| iceroot | soadkombucha: that is what i am telling him but he forgotten his userpassword | 00:10 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: why? | 00:10 |
| Uboy | I know, all of my usernames, account in Pc, Net, Blog and.... is one thing! | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: right uhmm | 00:10 |
| duffydack | single user mode is the way then | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: xfix yeah? | 00:10 |
| soadkombucha | iceroot: ahh. | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | Alan502: what were the options? | 00:10 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, it was not meant to be changed with grub2 | 00:10 |
| iceroot | Uboy: cat /var/log/auth.log | 00:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Uboy, see this link to reset passwords http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 00:10 |
| iceroot | Uboy: and look for the error from sudo | 00:10 |
| Anvoid | know why adding an aim account crashes thunderbird? | 00:11 |
| duffydack | recovery mode, passwd , done. | 00:11 |
| flypiper | what is the bots name here? | 00:11 |
| iceroot | flypiper: ubottu | 00:11 |
| marcos_ | ubottu, flypiper | 00:11 |
| soadkombucha | Anvoid: Is it adding the AIM account or is it the server settings? Does Thunderbird support AOL Mail connections? | 00:11 |
| flypiper | thanks | 00:11 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: but there is a lot of splash images to download | 00:11 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, how long do u have to look at it 15 secs who cares if it's not broke no need to fix it | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | soadkombucha: this channel isn't really the best for Thunderbird help, theres irc.mozilla.org mozillazine.org forum | 00:12 |
| tommy2010__ | how do I disable tcp6 in 10.4 ? | 00:12 |
| Anvoid | soadkombucha: not sure what you mean by support but i it does help me config the smtp, imap, and port when i enter the name@aim.com | 00:12 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: Anvoid was asking a question. | 00:12 |
| === marcos_ is now known as Daekdroom | ||
| soadkombucha | Anvoid: Take sebsebseb's adive and try the Mozilla IRC | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | Anvoid: You're on a software-wide issue, not a system-wide issue dealing with thunderbird | 00:13 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, \ you can google it and find out how if u want to but don't say i didn't warn you cause i guarantee you will crash and lose boot | 00:13 |
| Flannel | soadkombucha: AOL mail would either be POP or IMAP, so yes, it will. | 00:13 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: okay... and where i can learn about these things that is not meant to be changed? | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | Flannel: It's IMAP | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | Anvoid: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq#aol | 00:13 |
| Flannel | soadkombucha: Then yes, thunderbird supports IMAP | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | Flannel: I know. that's why I use it. | 00:13 |
| ricky_goop | there must be a lot of thing like this | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 00:13 |
| anigma | is there a way to reinstall/recover ubuntu using the install disk? I'm not able to login and I desperatly need to keep my configuration and all the stuff in /home | 00:13 |

| ricky_goop | hiexpo: there must be a lot of thing like this | 00:14 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, - google is your best friend | 00:14 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: heh | 00:14 |
| omani | everatime a start mutt i have the msgs there again | 00:14 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: ok, ty | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | anigma: why don't you just restore from backup? | 00:14 |
| ricky_goop | hiexpo: XD | 00:14 |
| Flannel | anigma: One thing you can do is move /home to a separate partition, and then reinstall Ubuntu around it. | 00:14 |
| hiexpo | ricky_goop, yep no prob | 00:14 |
| soadkombucha | anigma: Boot into recovery mode and "cp -r" the /home/username directory to a different drive | 00:14 |
| Flannel | !separatehome | anigma | 00:14 |
| ubottu | anigma: 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 | 00:14 |
| flypiper | bot must be taking a nap... I need a wireless driver for 9.10 in non-free... does anybody know what I need to put in sources.list?? | 00:14 |
| iceroot | omani: #mutt | 00:14 |
| omani | thx | 00:14 |
| soadkombucha | anigma: And then you could reinstall ubuntu and like Flannel said make /home a separate mount point on it's own partition | 00:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | anigma, you could boot to a LiveCD and copy your files to another media | 00:14 |

| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: it needs compiling | 00:25 |
| Uboy | u can copy back up with >> cp /etc/init.d/samba ~/Samba | 00:25 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: I'm aware. I've been doing it by hand. | 00:25 |
| Uboy | and before that > mkdir ~/Samba | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: set one up dude | 00:26 |
| Uboy | reinstall package and copy the backup | 00:26 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: I don't have a server to run a repository off of. Plus linuxwiki has a really good tutorial. 10.04 has a really annoying fix that I wrote a shell script for | 00:26 |
| Uboy | your files works, your shell doesnt khow the levels | 00:26 |
| profxavier | Uboy, odd, but I tried to -reinstall- samba | 00:27 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: So a repository might not work very well anyways. Plus I only have the rtl8191_se, which uses the same as rtl8192_se and only those two as far as I know | 00:27 |
| profxavier | it did, but still the same issue, nothing in /etc/init.d | 00:27 |
| Uboy | ok, what happened? | 00:27 |
| Uboy | profaxvier u can make that dir bye hand | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: you'd need to compile it for every kernel going as not all users will be using the latest kernel | 00:28 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: And as of right now I don't have that kind of time. If you look the tutorial isn't too difficult to find. | 00:29 |
| Uboy | bye=by | 00:29 |
| Uboy | sorry guys I'm so tired | 00:29 |
| Uboy | bye | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: make a script, when you get a new script just run the script :) | 00:29 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: A script to autocompile the driver? | 00:29 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: I'm gonna go work on that. | 00:29 |
| profxavier | hmmm | 00:30 |
| _ath | ActionParsnip: you had a chance to look at it? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: sure, jut keep the source for the driver in teh same place, you can use the defined constants in linux as well as uname in various guises to set stuff up nice | 00:30 |
| profxavier | anyone else, wanna try and troubleshoot why I have samba installed, but I cannot restart the service using /etc/init.d/samba | 00:30 |
| _ath | profxavier: can you stop it? | 00:31 |
| profxavier | its smbd, not samba | 00:31 |
| profxavier | i believe | 00:31 |
| Tootoot222 | yes, it is smbd | 00:32 |

| profxavier | anyone develop iphone apps in Ubuntu ? | 00:34 |

| _ath | wajimba: change to that screen, and ctrl alt backspace | 00:54 |
| _ath | ? | 00:54 |
| _ath | tried that? | 00:54 |
| aretrfre34 | Uboy:just hit esc and select recovery mod from grub list | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | LifeEscalade: regular MO | 00:54 |
| soadkombucha | ActionParsnip: I am glad I've been reading an ubuntu book... It's for 8.04 and 8.10 but I've learned a decent chunk from it already | 00:54 |
| LifeEscalade | Typos_King: So its cool it says that? | 00:54 |
| Uboy | aretrfte34 yes I did that but the GRUb stopped after I select Recovery Mode fro Grub list | 00:54 |
| aretrfre34 | Uboy:did you touch grub files? | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | soadkombucha: never read it myself, i just used the OS and learned | 00:55 |
| Typos_King | LifeEscalade: yes, I think it just means whatever it found on the httpd.conf or other .conf's for the ServerName or such directive, didn't go through or is not found, I think it does that when there's none set | 00:55 |
| _ath | wajimba: by changing to the X screen i mean ctrl + alt + F7 | 00:55 |
| Uboy | aretrfte34 normally we must see the page white in this link/ true? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 00:55 |

| Uboy | aretrfte34: yes, i think | 00:58 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: I install those separately :) | 00:58 |
| soadkombucha | aretrfre34: What if you're using a very detailed tutorial? | 00:58 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: that's a pretty bad guideline.. | 00:58 |
| Vexille | Uboy: yeah you are supposed to see that menu upon choosing recovery mode in grub, but you said you aren't getting anywhere. Do you have more than one kernel installed to just try recovery mode on a different version? | 00:58 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: I use all of them. I don't WANT to have Flash installed but I'm still on firefox for now I just installed Chrome. Thankfully they have internal flash in the stable builds now | 00:58 |

| _ath | gnome / kde apps can run under either dm. | 00:59 |

| lfitz | i would like to receive the black ubuntu notifications.. | 00:59 |
| Uboy | vexille: no one kernak | 00:59 |
| NetScr1be | ok it just started working | 00:59 |
| lfitz | using 10.04 | 00:59 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: That's why I was curious. Because I was having issues before. | 01:00 |
| dominicdinada | NetScr1be: What did you select differently ? | 01:00 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: they do not afaik, I got chrome recently, didn't come with flash, you can always just get the libflashplayer.so file by itself or extract it from the .zip for installation and drop it at /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and chrome/opera/firefox use that | 01:00 |
| cntrational | soadkombucha: it'll take up more RAM to run programs like that, though, since they'd have to load more stuff | 01:00 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: Is not not on Debian based linux yet? | 01:00 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: I know internal flash is on Windows | 01:00 |
| _ath | cntrational: at the moment that's largely irrelevant | 01:00 |
| _ath | and soon to be entirely. | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: ubuntu is, yes | 01:01 |
| Uboy | aretrfre34: see this page > http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage Upper page I'm sent is wrong | 01:01 |
| cntrational | _ath: is it? | 01:01 |
| NetScr1be | dominicdinada, that's the weird part - it just started working | 01:01 |
| _ath | cntrational: yes. | 01:01 |
| crdlb | lfitz: I'm not sure I understand your setup, but the difference is between notify-osd and notification-daemon | 01:01 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: I know Chrome is, but they haven't released stable with internal flash yet. | 01:01 |
| cntrational | soadkombucha: exaile is a amarok inspired music player for GNOME | 01:01 |
| NetScr1be | dominicdinada, actually I 6ook etho down | 01:01 |
| NetScr1be | took | 01:01 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: If Amarok decides to continue being odd I'll use it. I was upset when they discontinued songbird support for Linux. | 01:01 |
| aretrfre34 | Uboy:ok, see, how many reasonable people around | 01:02 |
| _ath | NetScr1be: you did ifconfig eth0 down | 01:02 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: chrome is debian based? not sure on that, I know is based on Chromium the browser | 01:02 |
| _ath | and it came up by itself? | 01:02 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: They have a debian release for Chrome | 01:02 |
| dominicdinada | soadkombucha: cntrational there is also the default rythmbox | 01:02 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: chrome.google.com gives you a download | 01:02 |
| aretrfre34 | laptop hasn't /dev/radio0 is it means i cant play radio? | 01:02 |
| crdlb | lfitz: notify-osd is the ubuntu one | 01:02 |
| soadkombucha | dominicdinada: I hate rythmbox | 01:02 |
| Vexille | Uboy: try this guide for using a livecd to reset your password http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/ | 01:02 |
| cntrational | _ath: what's going to happen that it'll become irrelavant | 01:02 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: yes. | 01:02 |
| aretrfre34 | wanna fun | 01:02 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: surely, that doesn't mean is debian based per se,but I see what you mean, either way, the libflashplayer.so drag/drop will work just the same :) | 01:03 |
| dominicdinada | soadkombucha: To each their own I hate vlc and totem as well | 01:03 |
| thune3 | matt____: the partitions may have been automatically mounted when you plugged in the device. In this case you need to unmount them first. | 01:03 |
| _ath | cntrational: the cost of manufacturing hardware is continuing on the same course it has been; not only that, higher level frameworks are, with extra resources, becoming excellent at handling them. | 01:03 |
| SlidingHorn | soadkombucha, Typos_King: You can also take a look at Chromium, which is in the repos -- in my *personal experience* it has worked better than the actual chrome | 01:03 |
| cntrational | one thing that annoys me about rhythmbox and exaile is that you can't play a single song, it has to be part of a playlist | 01:03 |
| hiexpo | did i miss much i was in pentoo | 01:04 |
| aretrfre34 | _ath:a lot of reasonable people or i cant play real radio? | 01:04 |
| * Typos_King uses mainly Opera :) | 01:04 | |
| soadkombucha | SlidingHorn: Chrome stable is working well. There is only one difference between Chrome and chromium. Well two. | 01:04 |
| _ath | cntrational: soon enough, for running Qt apps on windows, or kde apps on gnome, 'it uses up more memory' won't mean anything. | 01:04 |
| soadkombucha | SlidingHorn: Chrome and Chromium have a different colored logo, and Chrome has the google tracking app. Otherwise they're identical. | 01:04 |
| Vexille | Uboy: The steps should be similar to what you were using as a guide before, but this just uses the livecd to mount your hard drive and chroot to it so yo ucan perform the same steps as in the guide you posted | 01:04 |
| _ath | cntrational: and in a lot of cases, it does now. | 01:04 |
| soadkombucha | I need to compile enlightenment er17... | 01:04 |
| alasca | Typos_King, Don't like Firefox? | 01:04 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: if you don't have a radio device, you cannot 'play' radio. | 01:04 |
| soadkombucha | alasca: In my experience firefox can hog resources. | 01:04 |
| hiexpo | is chrome better that firefox? | 01:05 |
| soadkombucha | hiexpo: Depends. | 01:05 |
| SlidingHorn | !best | hiexpo | 01:05 |
| ubottu | hiexpo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:05 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: i don't know how to simplify that any more. | 01:05 |
| SlidingHorn | :) | 01:05 |
| cntrational | Firefox doesn't take up that much resources if you restart it every now and then | 01:05 |
| soadkombucha | hiexpo: Chrome separates each tab into a separate process, so if you use LOTS of tabs, Chrome has benefits. It's Javascript is faster too. | 01:05 |
| Uboy | Vexille: ok, I read that know and i got it, before it, can u answer a questuin > I change a portion of file with this instruction> http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage > is it my fault? | 01:05 |
| alasca | soadkombucha, Yes, this is right...firefox is a bit greedy on resources...sadly... | 01:05 |
| cntrational | and try not to have a million tabs open | 01:05 |
| cntrational | (cursed tvtropes) | 01:05 |
| soadkombucha | hiexpo: But Opera 5 has benchmarked JS speed tests at 25% faster than Chromium 6 Developer | 01:05 |
| _ath | hiexpo: i've personally found chrome to run faster under nix and windows. | 01:05 |
| aretrfre34 | _ath:got it, just wanted some fun, compiled for mplayer source rised core cpu 100C, isn't funny now! | 01:05 |
| hiexpo | SlidingHorn, - don'tsend me the bot best lol i knew that was gonna happen | 01:06 |
| === has_ is now known as HebertSilva | ||
| Uboy | vexille: for configuring fingerprint sensor | 01:06 |
| Typos_King | alasca: have it installed too, chrome/firefox lack the flexibility Opera has for a few things, window manipulations and other stuff, their beta1 10.6 is quite good | 01:06 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: then remove it and recompile it without that radio make flag. | 01:06 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: There is one thing I dislike about Chrome over Firefox. | 01:06 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: if you compiled it yourself you should probably know that. | 01:06 |
| coz_ | cesc, hey guy did you need something? | 01:06 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: Greasemonkey for firefox, the userscripts for chrome don't support unsignedwindow or the gm_* values. So you can't run ALL userscripts in chrome. | 01:06 |
| aretrfre34 | _ath:noo, fun was to hack! | 01:06 |
| _ath | aretrfre34: then enjoy your short lived processor. | 01:07 |
| soadkombucha | Switching to Chrome | 01:07 |
| avelldiroll | in my experience chromium starts faster but hogs more ressources than firefox | 01:08 |
| dominicdinada | chrome is pretty fast under linux | 01:08 |
| hiexpo | !everyone | don't send me bot stuff i help here too looll | 01:08 |
| _ath | avelldiroll: agreed, under nix anyway, either way, i've found it performs faster on both nix / win platforms | 01:08 |
| soadkombucha | That's better. | 01:08 |
| _ath | unfortunately it doesn't quite have the plugin support firefox has. | 01:08 |
| _ath | which is probably the biggest deciding factor for most people to whom these things matter. | 01:09 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: Not completely true. | 01:09 |
| matt____ | thune3: Thanks! That worked. Many thanks. | 01:09 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: what isn't. | 01:09 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: There are lots of plugins for Chrome that perform really nice functions | 01:09 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: And the extension gallery is growing fast | 01:09 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: yes, there are, but theres lots more for firefox, that perform better, most of the time. | 01:09 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: but we're in the present. | 01:09 |
| Typos_King | _ath: and lacks configuration flexibility, I checked all available options, I think I can count them to less than 50 hehehe | 01:09 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: The only extensions I found to work better than firefox, are google extensions | 01:10 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: reread what i said. | 01:10 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: Pretty much everything lacks configuration flexibility over firefox's about:config | 01:10 |
| greezmunkey | Typos_King: have you looked at about:config within FF? | 01:10 |
| soadkombucha | Nothing is as configurable as Firefox | 01:10 |
| greezmunkey | soadkombucha: :) | 01:11 |
| soadkombucha | greezmunkey: Trust me, I love Firefox, I actually converted almost everyone I know to it. But I'm a heavy tab user, so Chrome works better for me. | 01:11 |
| dominicdinada | _ath: as for the plugin support FireFox is 7 years old and chrome really is like a year old from stable builds... | 01:11 |
| soadkombucha | dominicdinada: And developing more rapidly than firefox ever has | 01:11 |
| Typos_King | greezmunkey: yes, doesn't compare to Opera's, opera has countless options, thus the flexibility I use :), doesn't hog the memory like FF and runs smooth enough, chrome uses less than half memory Opera does, but is pretty configurationless | 01:12 |
| _ath | dominicdinada: correct. the question wasn't, 'what browser will be better in perhaps a year or two?' | 01:12 |
| _ath | dominicdinada: as i said, we're not time travellers, and we're arguing about the present state. | 01:12 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: But Chrome doesn't need too much configuration out of the box in my opinion. | 01:12 |
| dominicdinada | soadkombucha: Correct... so plugins are not all built for chrome but will be ported since FF is playing the catchup game :D | 01:12 |
| greezmunkey | well...that was fun | 01:12 |
| soadkombucha | dominicdinada: the browser war is becoming negligible anyways. | 01:12 |
| soadkombucha | The only browser I say don't use is any IE-based browser | 01:13 |
| Vexille | Uboy: I am unfamiliar with anything involving setting up fingerprint readers. The info there states it will try to read your fingerprint first before using your password, so if that is true then I imagine it isn't supposed to make your login stop working, but liek I said I am unfamiliar with is so who knows :( | 01:13 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: I'd also say don't use konqueror | 01:13 |
| duffydack | Since I got my fonts looking right (removing that damn ttf-msttfonts package) I`m using chromium | 01:13 |
| _ath | and i'm a kde fanboy. | 01:13 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: What engine does it run off of? | 01:13 |
| dominicdinada | soadkombucha: It is not a war as google and FF are allies, But when Chrome dropped it is the fastest thing out, and FF said they moving to a new javascript core | 01:13 |
| _ath | soadkombucha: christ knows, probably dolphin, the kde explorer. | 01:13 |
| _ath | it's kde's equivalent of IE. | 01:13 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: depends on what you do, for plain browsing, no, true, for one thing, I have flash off, and turn it on whenever I need it, like for a clip or news ticker or other stuff, in Opera is just 2 clicks for that, there's no such in chrome/ff | 01:14 |
| dominicdinada | soadkombucha: Some websites still force IE :( but thats what plugins are for | 01:14 |
| duffydack | _ath, thats not a good advertisement | 01:14 |
| greezmunkey | heh | 01:14 |
| soadkombucha | _ath: Ahh. I like Nautilus | 01:14 |
| _ath | duffydack: from personal use i've found it to be a terrible browser. | 01:14 |
| aretrfre34 | how do i get info about how old is cpu | 01:14 |
| kryl | hi | 01:14 |
| hiexpo | i'm sticking to firefox than | 01:14 |
| dominicdinada | _ath: imo dolphin is was to bloated,resource hungry | 01:14 |
| Typos_King | aretrfre34: how old? what do you mean? | 01:14 |
| _ath | dominicdinada: can't agree with you there. | 01:14 |

| N3VV3K | hey does anyone know hoow to turn off motion | 01:15 |
| soadkombucha | dominicdinada: Or you just use useragents | 01:15 |
| _ath | i was just saying konqueror is a shitty browser. | 01:15 |
| soadkombucha | konqueror is KHTML | 01:15 |
| N3VV3K | to turn it on was sudo motion how do i turn it off | 01:15 |
| soadkombucha | Google chrome and Safari are KHTML forks due to Webkit | 01:15 |

| hiexpo | enlightment is a desktop | 01:21 |
| NetScr1be | right way | 01:21 |
| soadkombucha | hiexpo: Yup. | 01:21 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: It's beta. | 01:21 |
| Typos_King | beta? | 01:22 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: http://enlightenment.org/ | 01:22 |
| vodl | hi, can I update my network manager on ubuntu 8.04 to the one found in 9.10 and later so I can visually edit networks? | 01:22 |
| Typos_King | version 5 I think is in beta, olders' aren't :P | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: not easilly, and trying to might brake your system | 01:22 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: I'm installing e17 | 01:22 |
| cesc | hi guys.. which button or button combination should I press to see all my windows side by side without overlapping? | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: well your not meant to install from 9.10 repo | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: why not just upgrade to 9.10, it has untill the end of April next year when it comes to support just like 8.04 | 01:23 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: My friend's friend writes a blog, and he has a REALLY easy tutorial (plus a shell script) to get enlightenment running: http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-install-e17-from-svnsource-on.html | 01:23 |
| dominicdinada | 8.04 LTS ranout didnt it :O | 01:23 |
| cntrational | by window manager, do you mean something like GNOME or X11? | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: not yet | 01:23 |
| soadkombucha | dominicdinada: Shouldn't have it's only been 2 years | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: for the desktop | 01:23 |
| soadkombucha | And some of the packages have 5 year support | 01:23 |
| hiexpo | pentoo uses an enlightment desktop as in referancce | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | soadkombucha: only the server edition | 01:23 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> i need the 8.04 version of wine to run some window apps, that's what"s keeping me from upgrading | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: to get enlightment running? hehe, there's nothing to it AFAIK, I used to run it in SuSE10, no fuss, is a bit fancy window manager, is all | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: Which Windows apps? | 01:24 |
| Adman65 | how can I configure rsync? I don't have /etc/rsyncd.conf | 01:24 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: Well to install it from source. | 01:24 |
| vodl | adobe dreamweaver and photoshop cs2 | 01:24 |
| soadkombucha | Typos_King: Plus he took the time to give you ALL the dependencies you need to install | 01:24 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> adobe dreamweaver and photoshop cs2 | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: you can install a earlier verison of Wine into 9.10, and those should work with the 9.10 version anyway | 01:24 |
| greezmunkey | cesc: check into X-Tile | 01:25 |
| Typos_King | soadkombucha: .... well... hehe, is not a bad manager, is light too | 01:25 |
| cesc | a noob question: how to see all opened windows side by side (like a mosaic) without overlaping each other? which button should I press to get this? | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: also when doing the upgrade if you tell it not to upgrade Wine | 01:25 |
| hiexpo | i think enlightment is gonna replace kde | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: you can probably just use the 8.04 version in 9.10 | 01:25 |
| * dominicdinada never used 8.04 but BT4 is 8.04 :) | 01:25 | |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> on winehq it says they run lousy under other versions than 8.04, or am I mistakenly interpreting that chart? | 01:26 |
| Baba_b00ie | in ubuntu 10.04, can i set it up to boot straight to Cli instead of GUI? | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | enlightment....who? kde what? | 01:26 |
| mdg | How do I tell what video card I have via CLI? | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | heheh | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: if you mean appdb, a lot of the info in appdb is out dated | 01:26 |
| Baba_b00ie | mdg, lspci -vvv | grep video | 01:26 |
| soadkombucha | Is there a program for Ubuntu that replaces the default copy manager? Similar to TeraCopy for Windows? I'm just curious linux doesn't need it but it'd be nice to know it was there | 01:26 |
| cesc | C'mon guys ... please answer my question | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: also are you sure the network manager you want isn't in 9.04? | 01:27 |
| SlidingHorn | !patience | cesc | 01:27 |
| ubottu | cesc: 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. | 01:27 |
| SlidingHorn | cesc -- also, greezmunkey already gave you a possible solution | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | mdg: lshw -C video | 01:27 |
| delinquentme | anyone know what the command line tag is to allow the editor to close only the file which was OPENED | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: 9.04 runs out of support end of October | 01:27 |
| cesc | sorry, I'm new. | 01:27 |
| delinquentme | then return to the current location on the command line? | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: anyway the later network manager or whatever it was, you can probably install that into 8.04 really | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: a ppa or something possibily | 01:28 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> don't think so, i looked for it under preferences but there's no network connections there, just net tools | 01:28 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7694 | 01:28 |

| mdg | Baba_b00ie: thanks for responding, but the grep video part didn't work | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | delinquentme: 'the editor'? what editor? | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | mdg: lshw -C video | 01:28 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> that's what I was ref. to | 01:28 |
| cntrational | Typos_King: gedit, probably | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | dunno, I use Geany, jEdit, and others | 01:29 |

| patx | what packages do i need to install if i need to run a "python setup.py install" script? | 01:29 |
| Baba_b00ie | mdg, yeah i know, it's wrong command. i wanted to say lshw -C video | 01:29 |
| delinquentme | im talking about w like git... i thought it was -f | 01:29 |
| delinquentme | IE | 01:29 |
| supernothing | or simple ccsm works too | 01:29 |
| delinquentme | git config --global core.editor gedit -f | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | delinquentme: .... can't say, many keybindings use ctrl-w though :) | 01:30 |
| mdg | thanks Typos_King - that's awesome | 01:30 |

| spazdor | i assume this is some sort of anti-rootkit behaviour. can it be suppressed? | 01:31 |

| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: I mean without thinks being to slow | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: and if its XP | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | with 2GB RAM like what vodl has, more likely to get better performance :) | 01:34 |

| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: without things being really slow, above | 01:34 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb> no go, it's vital to me that I run dreamweaver non-native for security reasons [ 50% the reason i moved to linux, the other 50 was constant re-installing of windoze] | 01:34 |

| sebsebseb | vodl: End of Life no more security updates | 01:35 |
| ubottu | vodl: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: I was thinking about doing that | 01:36 |
| thune3 | _ath: i don't have experience, but the logs seem to complain that the xorg.conf is wrong. did try using "/usr/bin/aticonfig --initial" (not sure syntax) to get a basic xorg.conf? | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | nonix4: has to be software..... almost like a firewall rule or something....you can always use something like 'WireShark' to check the connection interface further -> http://www.qweas.com/downloads/network/other/scr-wireshark.png | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: now if you knew what you were doing, you could actsaully maintain it quite well yourself, but you still woudn't be able to get support from this channel anymore for 8.04 | 01:36 |
| soadkombucha | krazykrivda: It should be readable | 01:36 |

| vodl | <sebsebseb> there's a new family of viruses that tap ftp clients on windows xp and leak passes and such | 01:37 |
| aretrfre34 | how to broadcast connection like wifi router in ubuntu | 01:37 |
| dominicdinada | vodl: I only have had windoze go down on me once ever... I just dont get how people can allow any computer to become that over-run with viruses/trojans, faulty apps | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: I think you meant to send that to SlidingHorn | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | and yes there are many security issues when it comes to Windows | 01:37 |

| nonix4 | Typos_King: well, the NO-CARRIER in "ip addr list" also suggests issues deeper than firewall... kinda weird that it can receive while having NO-CARRIER state though... | 01:38 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: really running a Windows install online is quite the security risk, but most users have no idea | 01:38 |
| Typos_King | dominicdinada: pebkac, I've run win32 box just as well, in 14years or so, I may have gotten a whopping 5 or so malicious stuff, | 01:38 |
| vodl | <sebsebseb>still would really need that network manager | 01:38 |

| dominicdinada | sebsebseb: every OS has their share of security problems. This is something that I hear from Mac users they cant get viruses etc. But that is very untrue, Windows has 90% of the worlds computers so it only makes sense to attack the easiest prey as linux and macs become even more common place you can be so will problems | 01:39 |
| hiexpo | Uboy, if none answers your ? ask again in 15 or so | 01:39 |
| dominicdinada | Typos_King: I get malicious stuff from websites and other things alike I just notice the signs and take care of it right away. I mean you dont drive your car until the engine seizes with out servicing it :D | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: there is always the market share excuse, and I never said that Linux distros are immune from malware | 01:41 |
| vodl | uboy: sorry, never had pass problems, best of luck :) | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | dominicdinada: they do happen to be immune from Windows malware though | 01:41 |
| dominicdinada | sebsebseb: Very true :D | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:41 |
| zenlunatic | everytime i peak in here its debate | 01:41 |
| SlidingHorn | dominicdinada, (if i'm not ignored anymore) I find the whole "market share based security" argument to be flawed. I'm sure that it would be more targeted if it did have a larger share, however, there are features of most linux systems that are inherently more secure than a windows system (no auto admin, open source -- lots of eyes to find/fix holes, etc) | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: you can install uhmm | 01:41 |
| osmodivs | then, why is there an Antivirus in the Ubuntu repository? | 01:41 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: well thats part of Gnome | 01:41 |

| sebsebseb | vodl: you could install a later version of Gnome yourself, and maybe just the network manager | 01:42 |
| dominicdinada | sebsebseb: but using a linux server for windows file sharing will help windows viruses propagate :D | 01:42 |
| Uboy | hiexpo: are you have problem with me? | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: also since your on 8.04, you get the option of KDE 3 or KDE 4 from the repo | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: both of which will have a similar program | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: I mean you could try both KDE 3 and 4 | 01:43 |
| frank82vt | why doesnt appear the distribution ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex as an option in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ? | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | vodl: and as far as I know in those versions there is a similar program, but yeah thats a differnet look | 01:43 |

| frank82vt | well i just want search packagues only for intrepid in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ so that distribution doesnt appear as option. why? | 01:45 |

| Agu10 | hi | 01:51 |
| sebsebseb | !lamp | dominicdinada | 01:51 |
| ubottu | dominicdinada: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:51 |

| LJRuff | wise_crypt, that won't restore the lost files... | 02:11 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok | 02:11 |
| sebsebseb | ahmedkotb: ok if the partition is really gone | 02:11 |

| Uboy | sebsebseb so what can i do except Reinstalling Ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| ahmedkotb | and the home folder is there | 02:12 |
| ahmedkotb | but all the configuration files where lost | 02:12 |
| ahmedkotb | and ofcourse my files | 02:12 |
| LJRuff | wise_crypt, reinstalling is just as bad. He needs to restore the files if he can. There's some packages that do that. | 02:12 |
| ahmedkotb | i have tried scalple | 02:12 |
| ahmedkotb | scalpel | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | ahmedkotb: hrm I think test disk only works on partitions that have actsauly been deleted | 02:12 |

| ahmedkotb | should i try test desk ? | 02:14 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb how? | 02:14 |
| thune3 | sinnedam: with compiz enabled, i had to turn off smoothscroll in ubuntu because it looked terrible. i don't have great hardware. | 02:14 |

| sebsebseb | bruenig: well it is for Ubuntu newbies and such | 02:16 |

| Uboy | LJRuff & sebsebseb after I'm triyng to apply this changes > http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage > my problem appears > my password doesn't work for authentificate command in sudo, instal package from software source and..... but log in page doesn't want me a password becouse I think i changed the setting to log in after problem occure, so I'm triying to change password bu GRUB and go to root shell, but GRUB doesn't complete that the option | 02:30 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: Mandriva for me since November on here, but thats also a noobs distro, in fact more user friendly than Ubuntu really | 02:31 |
| mbrigdan | ZykoticK9, did that, the old copied contents back in, and now it works. Thank you! | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: other computer is still Ubuntu | 02:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | mbrigdan, glad you got it working :) | 02:31 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: you really like Debian distros? Isn't RPM a tad more stable? | 02:31 |
| wise_crypt | sebsebseb: !poll | 02:31 |
| LJRuff | sebsebseb, never used it - but we're moving off-topic. I have dual boots. Playign with gentoo and ubuntu | 02:31 |
| soadkombucha | LJRuff: If you want something to mess around with why don't you try out ArchLinux? It's pacman based, not Deb or RPM | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | wise_crypt: having a nice graphical control centre for setting up the system, makes it more user friendly, anyway off topic | 02:32 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb > Explain > after I'm triyng to apply this changes > http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage > my problem appears > my password doesn't work for authentificate command in sudo, instal package from software source and..... but log in page doesn't want me a password becouse I think i changed the setting to log in after problem occure, so I'm triying to change password bu GRUB and go to root shell, but GRUB doesn't complete that the opt | 02:32 |
| LJRuff | soadkombucha, It's on my list to try after I master Gentoo | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | soadkombucha: DEB, RPM, apt-get yum, whatever, I don't care, as long as the apps I use will work :) | 02:33 |
| juggalo483 | still cant get java installed any ideas | 02:33 |

| Uboy | ok sorry | 02:34 |
| Uboy | so pleas read it | 02:34 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: sometimes we are doing something else, or we end up in off toipc chat :D, or were helping someone else in here as well, patience :) | 02:34 |
| juggalo483 | uboy: any ideas on java | 02:34 |
| Uboy | ok i know | 02:34 |
| wise_crypt | soadkombucha: or ubuntu in minimal install ;p | 02:34 |
| soadkombucha | wise_crypt: Haha | 02:35 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and we are volunters, we don't get paid to help out in here, so yeah patience | 02:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, "apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin" does it show as installed? | 02:35 |
| soadkombucha | wise_crypt: I think I'm going to continue coming to this room. Despite being a relatively new regular linux user, I'm getting a decent chunk of knowledge from here, plus am finding that I actually CAN help people | 02:35 |
| juggalo483 | zykotick9: sorry new to the OS where would i see that | 02:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, run everything inside the "s in a terminal | 02:36 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb all of this mean's I'm so tired and 13 Hours working front Laptop to solve 1 problem! :d | 02:36 |
| juggalo483 | ok | 02:36 |
| wajimba | sebsebseb: got vnc working- now how do I change my screen resolution to 1440x875? | 02:36 |
| sebsebseb | wajimba: uhmm well I know that the computer your connecting to, that that is the one where the resolution should probably be changed really | 02:36 |
| wajimba | yeah | 02:37 |
| wajimba | so, is it an xorg.conf thing? | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | wajimba: so yeah on that computer get it changed | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | wajimba: no I don't think it has anything to do with xorg | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | wajimba: how big or small the connection is on your screen | 02:37 |
| sebsebseb | wajimba: the desktop | 02:38 |
| wajimba | well, my only problem is that 1440x875 is not a standard resolution, so I can't just pick it on the VNC server computer | 02:38 |
| === kevin__ is now known as triaflete | ||
| sebsebseb | Uboy: right I just gone on your link | 02:38 |
| Uboy | ok tnx dude | 02:39 |
| wajimba | the connection is LAN -- 100 Mbps | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: pm only with proper reason :) | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and so far you haven't been pming me like that at all | 02:39 |
| juggalo483 | Zykotick9: unable to find package | 02:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | wajimba, that limitation would be in your VNC client (not really surprising actually) | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: basically pm is good for stuff that shoudn't go in the channel, for example off topic chat | 02:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, are you on 10.04? if you you need to enable the Partner repository. | 02:39 |
| sebsebseb | !pm | Uboy | 02:40 |
| ubottu | Uboy: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 02:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, my note in blue at the top http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java | 02:40 |
| wajimba | ZykoticK9: huh? I'm just using the built-in remote desktop on ubuntu. To my knowledge the vnc clientside will adjust the window according to the resolution set on the server side | 02:40 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: you asked in pm if my name is always sebsebseb when I am in here, most of the time it has been | 02:41 |
| NetScr1be | x-chat can't survive power standby? | 02:41 |
| NetScr1be | Ubuntu upgrade weirdness | 02:41 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: also it is a good idea to not target a particular person when wanting support and asking a question, instead ask the whole channel :) | 02:41 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb are u play with me? | 02:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | wajimba, vnc client must be the resolution cause though | 02:41 |
| flypiper | soadkombucha, are you still here?? | 02:41 |
| juggalo483 | father-inlaw said nstall openjdk java runtime | 02:41 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Yes | 02:41 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and now hold on so I can read the link you gave :) | 02:41 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: What's going on? | 02:41 |
| wajimba | ZykoticK9: the cause? | 02:41 |
| Uboy | what link? | 02:42 |
| NetScr1be | It's in the installing software phase preparing to configure HAL and is hung .... | 02:42 |
| flypiper | soadkombucha, the ipw3945 modules aren' in non-free | 02:42 |
| NetScr1be | ... mouse won't move and Caps Lock is blinking | 02:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | wajimba, why would you want to run a remove connection that that high a resolution anyway? isn't that slow? | 02:42 |

| flypiper | soadkombucha, ok.. thanks | 02:44 |
| bazhang | ylmfos, #ubuntu-cn for chinese | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: is your computer a system76 ? | 02:44 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Not a problem. | 02:44 |
| bruenig | ipw3945 is way out of date | 02:44 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Do you know how to compile from source? | 02:44 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb Waht?!!!11 | 02:44 |
| soadkombucha | bruenig: It's the card he has though | 02:44 |
| bruenig | iwl drivers are the up-to-date supporter drivers | 02:44 |
| bruenig | iwl3945 | 02:44 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok on the top of | 02:44 |
| flypiper | soadkombucha, yea.. but this is a new install so I will have to install all the build tools | 02:44 |
| bruenig | ipw was deprecated by iwl | 02:44 |
| wajimba | ZykoticK9: that's a good point. That's the size of the client screen I want to view it on minus the window bar height | 02:44 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb 2 minutes can u go in IM/ | 02:44 |
| Uboy | ? | 02:45 |
| bruenig | http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads | 02:45 |
| maco | Uboy: isnt this something you can call system76 about? they provide support when you buy their hardware, i thought | 02:45 |
| bruenig | you are looking for this, not the ipw3945 driver | 02:45 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Try the iwl drivers | 02:45 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Search for them, if they're not there build from them: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 02:45 |
| ylmfos | Where are you from? | 02:45 |
| bazhang | !ot | ylmfos | 02:45 |

| ubottu | ylmfos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:45 |
| maco | Uboy: for reference, they have ##system76 on here and they have their own subforum on http://ubuntuforums.org if you want help direct from system76 folks | 02:45 |
| flypiper | soadkombucha, that is what is installed from default.. and they are really slow... it won't load a web page at all | 02:45 |
| sebsebseb | ubottu: point 4 on the page you gave | 02:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:45 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb what's your meaning of system 76? | 02:45 |
| bazhang | ylmfos, this is NOT the chat channel | 02:45 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Ahh. | 02:45 |
| bruenig | I find it hard to believe that iwl is not included by default in ubuntu or alternative that there is not a package for it | 02:46 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Then try the ipw drivers if you want. | 02:46 |

| sebsebseb | http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage | 02:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | wajimba, isn't resolution all determined by your VNC client setup? - i don't use remote GUI stuff | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: look at number 4 | 02:46 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb yes | 02:46 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: hold on | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: also the introduction mentions system 76 | 02:46 |
| maco | Uboy: why are you using system76-hardware-specific drivers if you dont have a system76 machine? have you checked that its the exact same hardware? | 02:46 |
| Guest87049 | Just saying this again due to the nick change: Is there a way to take VMware and make it the GUI for ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: number 4 is your problem? | 02:46 |
| flypiper | soadkombucha, where would I find those? | 02:46 |
| CrazyHyena | will ubuntu's future versions continue to try to be lightweight, as in using the same amount of RAM in the next versions? | 02:47 |
| sebsebseb | maco: :) bingo I was getting to that, that he is probably doing the wrong thing | 02:47 |
| wajimba | ZykoticK9: my client, realvnc, grabs the resolution of the screen that it's looking at | 02:47 |
| bruenig | ipw isn't even maintained anymore, I doubt seriously that it will even compile and work properly in the latest kernels | 02:47 |
| NetScr1be | Guest87049, say more about that but maqybe differently | 02:47 |
| bruenig | it stopped being maintained at least a year ago | 02:47 |

| Uboy | sebsebseb my fingerprint sensor in windows named UPEK | 02:48 |
| Guest87049 | Well what I am wanting to do is take the functions of VMware and literally just make the different OS onto the same desktop as the default OS | 02:48 |
| soadkombucha | Guest87049: There's software that does that hold on | 02:48 |
| maco | Uboy: but UPEK is a brand.... | 02:48 |
| maco | Uboy: you need to check whether its the exact same model | 02:48 |
| ylmfos | What does it chat the function is? | 02:48 |
| maco | ylmfos: what? | 02:48 |
| bazhang | ylmfos, Ubuntu support only | 02:49 |
| soadkombucha | Guest87049: There's QEmu and there's another one | 02:49 |
| Uboy | maco is there any way to found the exact model? | 02:49 |
| bazhang | ylmfos, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:49 |
| CrazyHyena | virtualbox | 02:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | wajimba, when you connect in realvnc see the "connection options" and the scale option appears to modify resolution somehow. Good luck man. | 02:49 |
| soadkombucha | CrazyHyena: No | 02:49 |

| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: not sure exactly, he can't go into recovery mode | 02:55 |
| soadkombucha | And as far as I can recall the passwd utility wasn't working either | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: he can't get his Ubuntu password re set, and it seems he has been trying to install some odd driver, that wasn't for his hardware | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage | 02:55 |
| bruenig | use a live cd and chroot to reset your password | 02:55 |
| sebsebseb | bruenig: it seems he has tried that, and that won't even work | 02:56 |
| Agu10 | is there a program to start other windows in a specific virtual desktop? | 02:56 |
| bruenig | he has done it wrong | 02:56 |
| bruenig | there is no concievable reason that wont work | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: I suggested clean installing earlier, but they didn't want to do that | 02:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, errrrgh.... | 02:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, if you trying a web app many won't work on linux - i'm affraid fewer seem to work with the openjava/icedtea then sun's version, BUT you can report stuff as potential bugs. Good luck man. | 02:56 |
| cntrational | Agu10: virtual desktop? | 02:56 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: and hes new as well, last week apparently | 02:56 |
| Agu10 | I mean workspaces | 02:57 |
| Agu10 | in a specific workspace | 02:57 |
| Traveler3 | zykotick9: got jave installed | 02:57 |
| Traveler3 | #java | 02:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Traveler3, ya? | 02:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, that's gonna be a pain, fresh install would be easier than messing with pam specially since I dont know anything about the system76 | 02:57 |
| Uboy | bruenig I use a live CD to change a password by this instructions > http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/ and Terminal said password successfuly updated but a problem still exist | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: sure, but his computer isn't even a system76 | 02:58 |
| cntrational | Agu10: compiz has a setting to always open a app in a specific workspace, but i don't think that's what you want | 02:58 |
| juggalo483 | Zykotick9: traveler is me lol just took a few sec. for the applet to load | 02:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, now you're just pulling my leg so what is it? | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: no idea | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: which manufacture is your computer? | 02:59 |
| rpgsimmaster | On a different note, someone want to assist me? :P I'm booting Ubuntu 10.04 server, and one of my Software RAID arrays apparently has an error: "Serious errors were found while checking dthe disk drive for /var... Press F to attemp to fix the errors, I to ignore...." however, here it just freezes - it doesn't want to accept any of the valid keypresses; I know it's reading the keyboard, because I can switch virtual terminals, but I can't actually start | 02:59 |
| Guest87049 | But I dont want to have a program open to run virtual machines. I want to literally have a distro of linux that I just pop in an install disc for another OS and have it install | 02:59 |
| juggalo483 | Zykotick9: i use a java based IRC client | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: who made it? | 02:59 |
| Guest87049 | I hope that clears what I am trying to say | 02:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, can you lshw and paste the contents to a pastebin site? | 02:59 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb Dell Vostro 1520 | 02:59 |
| Agu10 | cntrational, well, I want that in a console line command | 02:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, it seems to be working ;) | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | !pastebin | 02:59 |

| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, have they got any access to the system i.e. recovery? | 02:59 |
| juggalo483 | zykotick: Thanks a bunch | 02:59 |
| Agu10 | to open the app in whichever workspace I'd like | 02:59 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: no recovery mode won't work | 02:59 |
| Guest87049 | Does what I said clear it up any further? | 03:00 |
| cntrational | Agu10: hmm, I don't know about anything like that, sorry D: | 03:00 |
| rpgsimmaster | sebsebseb: What's the issue, and what do they say they have *absolutely* tried? | 03:00 |
| soadkombucha | rpgsimmaster: Almost everything | 03:00 |
| juggalo483 | how do a reset my video should i just delete the Xorg.conf file? | 03:00 |
| Uboy | Guys Thanks For Helping, I'm Still Hear | 03:00 |
| rpgsimmaster | lol, is the issue almost everything, or what they've tried? | 03:00 |
| soadkombucha | juggalo483: Are you trying to restart X? | 03:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, oh wow this is getting better and better, I'll have to pass my skills wont suffice this time | 03:01 |
| soadkombucha | rpgsimmaster: They've tried almost everything. | 03:01 |
| rpgsimmaster | but what's the issue? | 03:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | juggalo483, don't delete it, just move it to a different name | 03:01 |
| Guest87049 | But I dont want to have a program open to run virtual machines. I want to literally have a distro of linux that I just pop in an install disc for another OS and have it install. does that clear it up at all? | 03:01 |
| rpgsimmaster | I came in late | 03:01 |
| bazhang | Guest87049, yes, but that has nothing to with ubuntu support | 03:01 |
| Dargon | hey guys, my cron says /usr/local/bin/php /home/kenko/www/crons.php > /home/kenko/cron.log 2>&1 is there any reason that theres absolutely nothing in cron.log? | 03:01 |
| soadkombucha | rpgsimmaster: Improper hardware installed fingerprint reader drivers preventing login | 03:01 |
| juggalo483 | no i got a new graphics card | 03:01 |
| rpgsimmaster | ooooh | 03:01 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: basically they can't get into recovery mode, so can't get their Ubuntu account password reset, they have tried a Live CD no good. and they seem to have been trying to install a driver for a computer that isn't the one they are using | 03:01 |
| Guest87049 | bazhang how do I accomplish this, then? | 03:01 |
| bazhang | Guest87049, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:01 |
| ll62 | ilove you | 03:01 |
| Guest87049 | thank you | 03:01 |
| rpgsimmaster | Guest87049: It sounds like you need a bare metal VM installation, but it's rarely ever that simple | 03:01 |
| juggalo483 | i love you too 1162 | 03:02 |
| Dargon | anyone help me with crons? | 03:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Guest87049, before asking that let me ask you is that even possible if so where did you read it | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: or whatever this is. http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage | 03:02 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: got enough info? | 03:02 |
| bazhang | Pirate_Hunter, feel free to join him in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:03 |
| RPG-Master | Anyone know of a way to turn a .odp and .ppt file into a full video complete with background music, for playback on a DVD player? | 03:03 |
| deserteagle | hello all | 03:03 |
| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: You can run a linux kernel cocurrently along windows with colinux | 03:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bazhang, nope I'll stay here I dont think they are aware of what they are asking | 03:03 |
| Uboy | guys I'm here | 03:03 |
| rpgsimmaster | have they reverted the PAM files? | 03:03 |
| juggalo483 | can i fun the explorer window as root/sudo | 03:03 |
| Dargon | !cron | 03:03 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 03:03 |

| deserteagle | i'm connecting my droid to my PC, but it always mounts for root access only. Any ideas? THanks! | 03:03 |
| rpgsimmaster | Also, any ideas for my problem anyone, I'm kind of stuck here | 03:03 |
| Uboy | rpgsimmaster i Edit a PAM file | 03:04 |
| Uboy | Guys Help me! My english doesn't very well | 03:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, where trying to figure out how to help you but I just dont know the problem and your system is on a 50% chance a system76 but than were not even sure so could you explain your problem using as much detail as possible and dont leave out something that might help us | 03:05 |
| cntrational | "My english doesn't very well" that must be intentional | 03:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juggalo483, huh? | 03:05 |
| juggalo483 | any way to run explorer with read/write acess | 03:05 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: no I think its true, from all the communication I have had with them so far | 03:06 |
| Uboy | Pirate_Hunter ok | 03:06 |
| cntrational | sebsebseb: but it's so apt | 03:06 |
| Uboy | Pirate_Hunter > > Explain > after I'm triyng to apply this changes > http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage > my problem appears > my password doesn't work for authentificate command in sudo, instal package from software source and..... but log in page doesn't want me a password becouse I think i changed the setting to log in after problem occure, so I'm triying to change password bu GRUB and go to root shell, but GRUB doesn't complete that t | 03:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | juggalo483, again huh...? explorer windows, ubuntu nautilus and if that is what your asking than use gksudo nautilus to run it as root but I wouldn't advise it as you could break your system | 03:07 |
| Uboy | Pirates_Hunter > is that enogh? | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: look at point 4 on that webpage :) | 03:07 |
| rpgsimmaster | UBoy, what is your native language? | 03:07 |
| Uboy | Persian | 03:07 |
| rpgsimmaster | (I'm wondering if we'd have more success with a machine translation) | 03:07 |
| rpgsimmaster | ah | 03:07 |
| juggalo483 | i just wanna be able to delete/rename files with out having to open command | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: or maybe he could explain stuff, to people in a channel for his language, when done here | 03:07 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: if can't be helped here properly I mean | 03:08 |
| Uboy | rpgsimmaster persian and sorry for much much more bad speaking in english1 | 03:08 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: who did you buy your computer from? | 03:09 |
| jmknsd | does Ubuntu work on the i3 on chip graphics? | 03:09 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb our IR Ubuntu channels are empty now | 03:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, just read it, it is actually states it clearly.... oh boi... | 03:09 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: also your not even in USA or Canada are you? if so you can't buy from System76 | 03:09 |
| rpgsimmaster | UBoy: Just to check, have you attempted: | 03:09 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: point 4 you mean? | 03:09 |
| rpgsimmaster | - Booting from a Live Ubuntu CD-rom? | 03:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, can I ask why you can't reisntall the system again | 03:09 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: point 4 does sound like his problem | 03:09 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb I'm Live in IRAN not USA or Canda | 03:09 |
| deserteagle | i'm connecting my droid to my PC, but it always mounts for root access only. Any ideas? Thanks! | 03:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, yup it actually states it loud and clear | 03:10 |
| alouden | i just installed today and was wondering if there is a solution to the cursor jumping when I touch the touchpad with two fingers..other than not doing that | 03:10 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: indeed which has been said for a while now | 03:10 |
| rpgsimmaster | alouden: Is your touchpad multitouch? | 03:10 |
| soadkombucha | flypiper: Any luck? | 03:10 |
| alouden | doubt it | 03:10 |
| alouden | not sure actually | 03:11 |
| Uboy | Pirate_Hunter becouse i heared that Linux not need to reinstall like window and this only my resoan to choose linux | 03:11 |
| rpgsimmaster | Then probably not - it's by hardware design that it will do that | 03:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, how can I say this you got very little experience with linux, you just installed the OS a week ago, why can't you reformat it? | 03:11 |
| Kyoko | is there a way to dual boot ubuntu without overwriting the mbr? | 03:11 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: the instructions on this webpage http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Usage ARE NOT FOR YOUR COMPUTER! | 03:11 |
| rpgsimmaster | UBoy: Have you booted into a Live CDRom? | 03:11 |
| rpgsimmaster | Kyoko: Yes | 03:11 |
| rpgsimmaster | The long answer is a little more complex :P | 03:11 |
| * rpgsimmaster curses Software RAID VERY LOUDLY | 03:11 | |
| Uboy | sebsebseb OOKKK! | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and since you used them, you have the problem that is mentioned on the webpage in 4. | 03:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, I understand what you mean but what people don't take into consideration is the learning curve and the experience, the longer you use it the less you'll need to reformat it, heck even I had to reformat my system a couple times as a beginner | 03:12 |
| Uboy | rpgsimmaster yes | 03:12 |
| deserteagle | hmm... ok how about this: how do I change the permissions on a mounted drive? | 03:12 |
| cntrational | it's generally a good idea to format after your system's gotten cluttered <.< | 03:13 |
| Uboy | ok. Guys I reformat my linux | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: or has the wrong driver installed | 03:13 |
| rpgsimmaster | Yes | 03:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rpgsimmaster, i'll let you take over this is too much fo my skills and suggesting chroot willl be harder than it seems | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: finally :) | 03:13 |
| rpgsimmaster | Does anyone know how to rebuild a Software RAID array from Ubuntu live CD? | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: oh if you set up a seperate /home when you install | 03:13 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb and other guys thanks for Helping | 03:13 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and there is a reason to re install in the future, makes it much easier | 03:13 |
| wise_crypt | Uboy: OS (operating system ) is just a tools it depends on how you use it :) | 03:13 |
| wise_crypt | *tool | 03:13 |
| cntrational | you could always just setup a /home partition | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: want to tell him how to do that? sepereate home befoer installing, I do want to go away from computer :) | 03:14 |
| cntrational | that'd make formatting much easier | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: yeah / /home and swap | 03:14 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: exactly | 03:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, I know it is not what you want to hear but at this point it ms the best option and please stay away from that page unless you're sure it actually works. do me a favour when you log in to your new system type this command sudo lshw > hardware-info.txt | 03:14 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: You don't do a /boot? | 03:14 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb my /home is in another Partition1 | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: and his swap will be ok, but he will need to get rid of / | 03:15 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: I make a 100MB partition for /boot so all my kernels are alone | 03:15 |
| cntrational | yup | 03:15 |
| soadkombucha | Uboy: then you could reinstall | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | soadkombucha: no need to do seperate /boot untill its well I guess still need it for XFS, and need it for the optional btrfs support in development versions of 10.10 | 03:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, nope cause it will take longer and I dont even know what system they have as far as I can tell a reformat is the best option | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | soadkombucha: unless its, above | 03:15 |
| cntrational | /boot? | 03:15 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: I like having my kernels separately. Plus it's the first partition on my disk. | 03:15 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: Ubuntu is teh only OS on the computer? no Windows? | 03:16 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: And I have a 500GB HDD I didn't want my linux partition too large. I have 15GB root, 5GB home, 2GB swap, 100MB boot, 50GB windows, and the rest (about 393GB) is data | 03:16 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb No Windows is commonly used in teh | 03:16 |
| soadkombucha | sebsebseb: And the data is on an extended partition, I'm thinking about figuring out Hackintosh or trying out chromium OS | 03:17 |
| rpgsimmaster | Uboy: That was not the question | 03:17 |
| cntrational | ...what | 03:17 |
| rpgsimmaster | Uboy: Is Linux the only Operating System you have currently installed on the system? | 03:17 |
| cntrational | Uboy: "teh" was just a mistake for "the" | 03:17 |
| Uboy | Pirate_Hunter where exactly i must type sudo lshw ? | 03:17 |
| soadkombucha | OK my audio won't play at all | 03:17 |
| alouden | Using two fingers in a pinching motion will zoom in and out, and moving a finger in a circular motion will scroll. | 03:17 |
| Uboy | sorry guys1 | 03:17 |
| Uboy | ok | 03:17 |
| Uboy | yes | 03:17 |
| alouden | does that mean its multi touch or just sort of | 03:17 |
| rpgsimmaster | that's multitouch | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok makes re install easy | 03:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, if you choose to reistall your linux distro than in you can type that in terminal once you log in | 03:18 |
| Uboy | the linux is only os on my laptop | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: with seperate /home as well | 03:18 |
| alouden | so what does that mean to me | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | !home | Uboy | 03:18 |
| ubottu | Uboy: 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 | 03:18 |
| rpgsimmaster | alouden: Er... you have a multitouch touchpad? I'm not sure of the answer you're looking for here | 03:18 |
| cntrational | alouden: what does what mean to you | 03:18 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb u mean /home must be in another partition of HDD | 03:18 |
| Uboy | ? | 03:18 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: it is a good idea | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: makes re installing much easier | 03:19 |
| cntrational | Uboy: it doesn't have to be, but it's a good idea, yeah | 03:19 |
| alouden | can i stop the cursor from jumping around or do i just have to be careful not to touch with more than one finger | 03:19 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: or when your more expereinced, and maybe wanting to try another distro, it would make that easier as well | 03:19 |
| soadkombucha | Can anyone help me get my audio working? | 03:19 |
| rpgsimmaster | alouden: You should be able to disable multitouch, if you do not want it | 03:19 |
| cntrational | ooh is that a guide to moving your home partition | 03:19 |
| alouden | ok thanks | 03:19 |
| rpgsimmaster | alouden: from memory, under the Mouse preferences, there is an option there to disable it | 03:19 |
| cntrational | this'll be useful | 03:19 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb tnx | 03:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Uboy, I got sometime I can help you with the reinstall if you want to do it now instead of going in a loop on the same issue and getting nowhere | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: want to help him partition for the seperate /home as well, if he comes back on the Live CD? | 03:20 |
| soadkombucha | Can anyone help me get my audio working? Not actually the sound but playing media files | 03:20 |
| alouden | it is disabled | 03:20 |
| rpgsimmaster | alouden: Most curious. I would say the settings are therefore wrong | 03:20 |
| wildbat | sometime my laptop can't wake up to ubuntu after suspend ~ it just power on and freeze w/ black screen , how do i troubleshoot it | 03:20 |
| Uboy | Pirate_Hunter tnx | 03:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soadkombucha, have you got the codecs | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: swap should be fine, from his original install. so just remove / and make a new 10GB or so I guess, and big seperate home, both Ext4, and done | 03:20 |
| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: I installed the restricted pack | 03:20 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: I mean I want to go away from the computer soon really | 03:20 |

| alouden | settings where doesnt look like i can do a lot in the system, mouse, etc area | 03:21 |

| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: Yes. | 03:22 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb I partitioned my HDD already now | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: boot the Ubuntu CD, the live session, and come back here on it, yeah? | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: yes, but | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: not the way | 03:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: are you on the Live CD now? | 03:23 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok wait | 03:23 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb before that I mustnt move or copy anything to another partition? | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: have you loaded up from the Ubuntu CD? | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: are you using the Ubuntu CD now? | 03:24 |
| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: And system sounds work. | 03:24 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb restart pc and use the LIVE session? | 03:24 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: use the live session on the Ubuntu CD | 03:24 |
| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: And so do youtube videos... | 03:24 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok | 03:24 |
| Uboy | wait | 03:25 |
| jmknsd | does Ubuntu 10.04 work on the i3 on-chip graphics? or is there some sort of supported hardware website I am not seeing | 03:25 |
| === has is now known as HebertSilva | ||
| alouden | rpgsimmaster, on second look, i dont see an option to disable multitouch or is that something that is done in pc setup | 03:25 |
| rpgsimmaster | hmmmm | 03:25 |
| rpgsimmaster | alas, not having multitouch myself, I can't be of any more use here | 03:25 |
| alouden | ok | 03:26 |

| aurilliance | Yesterday I finally got my eGalax touchscreen working again after updating to 10.04 - Now I want to get it working *with screen rotation*. When I rotate the screen, the touchscreen calibration still thinks it is not rotated, anyone know how to fix this? | 03:30 |
| juggalo4833 | kinda | 03:30 |
| soadkombucha | juggalo4833: What driver is it? | 03:30 |

| soadkombucha | What version? | 03:30 |
| kent\n | I've been having some mindnumbing headaches with regard to (possibly) dnsmasq, but also possibly something else. Firstly, for some bizzare reason I cannot make out (or diagnose), machines randomly lose TCP/IP connectivity to my ubuntu box, and its only ever one machine at a time, and when this happens, they also stop being able to request/update dhcp leases ( happens under both windows and linux -_- ) | 03:31 |
| juggalo4833 | 3.6.4 | 03:31 |
| thune3 | jmknsd: reports in forums are that graphics work fine (suspend/resume problems have been reported though). i say try the liveCD and see for yourself. | 03:31 |
| cntrational | juggalo4833: you shouldn't install firefox like that | 03:31 |
| soadkombucha | juggalo4833: where did you save the file to? | 03:31 |
| juggalo4833 | downloads | 03:31 |
| cntrational | juggalo4833: if you do, you'd have to download and recompile to update again | 03:31 |
| juggalo4833 | then how do i update | 03:31 |
| kent\n | additionally to my above problem, dnsmasq for some reason keeps having /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf as an empty file, I would report this bug on launchpad, but the signup rigmarole is way too much -_- | 03:32 |
| soadkombucha | juggalo4833: I'm looking | 03:32 |
| jmknsd | thanks thune3, I'm just shopping for a laptop atm, and want to make sure it has supported hardware | 03:32 |
| soadkombucha | juggalo4833: Can't you just update through firefox itself? | 03:32 |
| juggalo4833 | no option | 03:32 |
| cntrational | soadkombucha: it's disabled in ubuntu's version of firefox | 03:32 |
| * kent\n is welcome to suggestions, and will try not being an ass, seriously, but it may take a bit of self-restraint -_- | 03:32 | |

| aurilliance | I would say 10.04's support for drivers out of the box was on par with win7, but this is probably for offtopic chat | 03:36 |

| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: through manual install is one way yes | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: and probably will do that | 03:44 |
| Joshua_Roberts | I thought there used to be an option on the web site. and there used to be some tutorials on the web about how to use an existing ubuntu install to create a usb install stick. | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: want to see what partitions they had first, and yes I know there is also a command | 03:44 |
| sharedLan | snt ubuntu 10 | 03:44 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb is everything for partitions ok? | 03:44 |
| sharedLan | studio | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: how did you install Ubuntu before? did you do manual install? | 03:44 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb yes | 03:44 |
| sorcha | ok i am new to linux, trying to get qavimator to run in linux, it has instructions but i am looking at them and wondering what they mean | 03:44 |
| Joshua_Roberts | sharelan, it is on the website as an option, create cd or usb stick... | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok good this will make things easier then, since you have already used manual install | 03:45 |
| sharedLan | kk josh i'll try it | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: why did you do a seperate /boot by the way? | 03:45 |
| aretrfre34 | how to hookup 2 ubuntus via wifi? | 03:45 |
| thune3 | aretrfre34: gettys should be available with ctrl-alt-f[1-6], sometimes framebuffer/graphics issues cause problems for them. what hardware do you have? | 03:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, okyour the captain of the boat I'll let you take full command | 03:45 |
| cellofellow | aretrfre34: what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:46 |
| Joshua_Roberts | sharedLan choose USB stick and then Ubuntu in the next option line and click show me how. | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: maybe its of a pirate boat, and now your well hunting me | 03:46 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb no I didn't make a seperate partition for /boot! | 03:46 |
| sharedLan | kk i am also seeding these have they been updated in the past 4 days? | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: well according to the screenshot you have one | 03:46 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: gparted | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: also why do you have a big NTFS partition, I thought you told me that Windows wasn't on there? | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | aretrfre34: using an ad-hoc wifi network, or something? | 03:48 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb I creat this partition with NTFS format manully | 03:48 |
| sharedLan | should i re d/l the image files from website? to be sure i'm seeding the most recent files? | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok your going to do this correctly with Ext4 | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: my way :) | 03:48 |
| aretrfre34 | cellofellow:no directly wifi cards on each | 03:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, nope not hunting you you help them will just add to my skills and knowledge we learn from each other | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: no that was a joke, since your IRC nick :D | 03:49 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb becouse if in future I use a window my pictures, music and .... shown in windows | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: if your going to have Windows on there, you should put it on first really | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: since if you do it after Ubuntu, Windows makes it so only Windows boots up, and then you would have to mess around with Grub 2 to get Ubuntu to boot again, and uh | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | aretrfre34: ok, yeah, they call that ad-hoc. I've never done this myself, but I think they way to work it is to on one of the machines "create a new wireless network" in NetworkManager, and have the other join. They should each give themselves ZeroConf IP addresses in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. Then, you can ping and whatnot. | 03:49 |
| HeTaL | And messing with grub 2 isn't the best thing around. | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and what HeTaL put | 03:50 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb all of it means I change the format to Ext4? | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: is Windows going on the computer? if so, make that choice now | 03:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, I know :D | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: Windows does not play nice with other operating systems | 03:51 |
| pollywog | is it appropriate to ask for help with Evolution here? | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: so if you put it on after another operating system, it makes it so only Windows will boot up | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | pollywog: yes | 03:51 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb Perhaps in future I have to use window for working by Special Eletronic Programs | 03:51 |
| aretrfre34 | cellofellow:tried joiner can't see ad-hoc | 03:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: well then you should put it on now before Ubuntu | 03:52 |
| cellofellow | aretrfre34: well, you got me. | 03:52 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb there is only 1 OS in my system every time ok? | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: you can dual boot | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: have Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer | 03:52 |
| pollywog | I do not run a mail server for my domain, it is hosted elsewhere. Is there a way to get Evolution to reject foreign character sets or treat emails containing them as junk? | 03:52 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: how much RAM do you have any idea? | 03:54 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: the NTFS partition is for future, becouse if i decide to use windows I need the DATA | 03:54 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: user name and password and such. so letters and numbers at least for password, characters such as £ $ % ^ to make a bit more secure if you really want. and I always do more than 8 letters/numbers/characters | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | juggalo4834: http://webchat.freenode.com is better. AJAX instead of Java. | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | juggalo4834: even better, a real client. | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: then when it gets to partitioniong do manual install, and i'll tell you what to do | 03:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, suggest vbox and have them setup windows than start it with command such as VBoxHeadless -startvm "name of machine with quotes" than use rdesktop to run it | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: sure, but we don't know if Uboy 's computer can handle Virtualbox yet | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: altough theres a command to find out RAM, can't remember what, and the output is rather geek | 03:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, should do if it handles the desktop but than... free -m if I aint mistaken | 03:58 |

| kostkon | vaul, "brasero"? | 04:02 |
| vaul | kostkon: No. | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: I like this time of year though, its about to get light :D | 04:02 |
| kostkon | vaul, :/ | 04:02 |
| vaul | kostkon: Look at the «Edit menu» thing, they are different application. | 04:02 |
| jugalo483 | you guys have been a big help in the transformation between windows and ubuntu | 04:02 |
| vaul | kostkon: Applications, I meant. | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: however want to get some sleep before watching England play Germany, and my sleeping is rather uh at the moment | 04:03 |
| kostkon | vaul, oh right, w8 | 04:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, well Iat 9 I was meant to find some batteries which has got me into an adventure which I wont discuss on IRC and yeah I agree with you its a good time of the year | 04:03 |
| ebhc | I can't ping any outside ips, and the resolv.conf has the nameservers for my isp listed. | 04:03 |
| rpgsimmaster | Pirate_Hunter, sebsebseb speak for yourselves - it's winter here :S | 04:03 |
| rpgsimmaster | ebhc: Then your problem is not DNS resolution | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: Australlia? New Zealand? | 04:03 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb tnx a lot and I see u here 14 hours from now | 04:04 |
| cellofellow | ebhc: ok, so it's not a DNS problem, it's an IP problem. | 04:04 |
| vaul | kostkon: It's all due to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/118936 bug, which is not fixed for some three years. | 04:04 |
| rpgsimmaster | sebsebseb: NZ | 04:04 |

| kostkon | vaul, the command is: nautilus --no-default-window --no-desktop burn:/// | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: yeah or something like that I guess | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: i'll be around again later | 04:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rpgsimmaster, dont worry over here (UK) we get all seasons in a day no matter what time of the year :( an winter well dont want to remember | 04:04 |
| cntrational | sebsebseb: he could've been in africa or south america or something :V | 04:04 |
| ebhc | rpg: yes, I can ping and ssh to all boxes on my internal network | 04:04 |
| rpgsimmaster | Pirate_Hunter: NZ is much the same | 04:04 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok, Tnx a lot too, have fun with World Cup ! | 04:04 |
| rpgsimmaster | ebhc: Is your firewall permitting your BSD boxes to route through? | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: oh yeah South America get winter when we get summer as well, I think | 04:05 |
| rpgsimmaster | perhaps it's a restrictive firewall, and not a problem with your BSD boxes | 04:05 |
| alex_mayorga | any ideas on querying for bluetoth addresses of paired devices | 04:05 |
| soadkombucha | Anyone in here ever used keytouch? | 04:05 |
| cntrational | sebsebseb: everything in the southern hemisphere is like that | 04:05 |
| ebhc | rpg: see that's the thing, I'm pretty sure it's my firewall on ubuntu as I've hooked up the bsd boxes directly to my cable modem and it works no problem. | 04:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | of to a shower than sleep too much for me bye all | 04:05 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: showever at this time? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | Pirate_Hunter: a little bit past 4am | 04:06 |
| vaul | kostkon: Please recheck, it gives me an error. | 04:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sebsebseb, like I said I was off to an adventure believe me I need a shower | 04:06 |
| ruari | wbhc : and you checked your default gateway? | 04:07 |
| kostkon | vaul, hmm, it works here. try leaving a space after burn:/// | 04:07 |
| ebhc | ruari: default gateway? | 04:07 |
| rpgsimmaster | ebhc: Have you checked for static routes? | 04:07 |
| ruari | does your firewall log denials | 04:07 |
| sorcha | can anyone help me get a window program working in Ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | sorcha | 04:08 |
| ubottu | sorcha: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | sorcha: Which program? | 04:08 |
| vaul | kostkon: I though that ":///" part is some weird smile. :) | 04:08 |
| sorcha | i am trying to get qavimator working | 04:08 |
| kostkon | vaul, lol | 04:08 |
| sorcha | it has instuctions for linux, but i am lost on what it means | 04:08 |
| cellofellow | ebhc: you can check your systems routing dtable with "route" | 04:08 |
| ebhc | rpg: not sure how to check for static routes. I was using webmin to setup iptables but then switched to firestarter. | 04:09 |
| vaul | kostkon: Now you why that "wrapping" near commands is neccessary sometimes. :) | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | sorcha: I don't know what that is | 04:09 |
| vaul | kostkon: Thank you, it works. | 04:09 |
| ruari | bsd it is netstat -rn | 04:09 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: It is not, exactly, a Windows program | 04:09 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: The instructions you see on the page are to be typed into a console | 04:09 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: They will compile the program on your Ubuntu system | 04:09 |
| ruari | that should show you default gateway | 04:09 |
| sorcha | ok what console | 04:10 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: go Alt+F2; do you get the run dialog? | 04:10 |
| k-rad | i may have been rash in my criticism of ubuntu | 04:10 |
| soadkombucha | Does anyone know how to enable the Satellite L500D-ST2543 media keys? | 04:10 |
| * cellofellow defers to ruari who obviously knows a thing or two about BSD that he doesn't. | 04:10 | |
| sorcha | yes i did | 04:10 |
| rpgsimmaster | type in 'gnome-terminal' | 04:11 |
| rpgsimmaster | do you get a terminal window? | 04:11 |
| kostkon | vaul, in most cases to wrap filenames. instead of giving for example: command -i my\ file, you need the '\ ' to escape the spaces in the filename; an easier way is: command -i "my file" | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | kostkon: ok | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | kostkon: wrong one | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | k-rad: ok | 04:11 |
| pondera | what is the code name for ubuntu 10.04 ? | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | k-rad: well I don't know what you said, but | 04:11 |

| pondera | whats the one b4 THAT ? | 04:12 |

| sebsebseb | k-rad: what problem did you have? | 04:13 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: start with entering: `svn co https://qavimator.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qavimator qavimator` (without the quotes) | 04:13 |
| k-rad | something stupid. :) | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | k-rad: normally people will complain about Ubuntu, if they have unsupported hardware that didn't just work, for example | 04:13 |
| GNUtoo|laptop | what should I do, did I do somehting wrong? | 04:13 |
| ruari | hate to ask but your interfaces are up on your bsd as well, ifconfig -a | 04:13 |
| rpgsimmaster | ruari: Yes they are, he can ssh in, remember | 04:14 |
| ruari | sorry missed that | 04:14 |
| kostkon | vaul, ah, for example, to separate your own text from the cmd you are giving to someone? for example: to list your files give "ls" in a terminal | 04:14 |

| flypiper | sebsebseb, I understand building a CD that doesn't have the wireless working and NetworkManager shuts down the interfaces about every 20 seconds.. that's called a great Release | 04:19 |
| sorcha | yes | 04:19 |
| vaul | sebsebseb: What was so great about 9.04 that is not present at 10.04? | 04:19 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: Okay, now when you type in 'sudo apt-get install svn build-essential', what happens? | 04:20 |
| aurilliance | anyone know how to get an egalax touchscreen to handle screen rotation? | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | vaul: thats a bit off topic, but with 10.04 they have changed Gnome even more, in a bad way, just most users like those changes | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | vaul: I mean changes that won't go upstream | 04:20 |
| flypiper | sebsebseb, That is the best advertising for our cause that you can get -( | 04:20 |
| sharedLan | 10.4 is solid and updated? | 04:20 |
| sharedLan | seb whats bad? | 04:21 |
| vaul | sebsebseb: And unfortunate for you I do belong to «most» users that liked the changes. Mwaha-ha-ha. :) | 04:21 |
| cellofellow | I'm guessing sebsebseb is complaining about Ayatana. | 04:21 |
| sorcha | reading was done but then i got this | 04:21 |
| rpgsimmaster | If there's one thing I hate, it's the new theme | 04:21 |
| sorcha | E: Couldn't find package svn | 04:21 |
| cellofellow | Ayatana rocks, better than the GNOME Shell stuff that upstream is coming up with. | 04:21 |
| sharedLan | some people think it uses more ram?? | 04:21 |
| sebsebseb | rpgsimmaster: yeah I would rather have the old brown look myself :) | 04:21 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: er, whoops | 04:21 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: make that 'sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | shut down and log out not being in the system menu, where they should be. no auotmatic shut down feature anymore with me menu enabled, that kind of stuff | 04:22 |
| sharedLan | lol main reason i use ubuntu is it seems to be able to run software meant for other "shells" as well | 04:22 |
| sorcha | ok its loading something it asked if it could i said yes | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: Gnome Shell might be like KDE 4 to begin with, basically not liked that much by many, but then improved and most users like it | 04:23 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: 'good, that's what you want' | 04:23 |
| cellofellow | sebsebseb: we'll see what happens. | 04:23 |
| cntrational | sebsebseb: actually, it's there in the system menu if you remove indicator applet | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: yes I know | 04:23 |
| vaul | sebsebseb: That's not objectively bad, changes just do not fit you taste. | 04:23 |
| sharedLan | ugh | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: and then the linking, of indicatoer applet and sound menu. and all that, as well, uh | 04:23 |
| flypiper | sebsebseb, Thank You.. you just explained the compile problems with the new versions | 04:23 |

| Saxon | I've already gone through the ubuntu websote stuff already. | 04:24 |

| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: Are you back at a commmand prompt, where you can type in more stuff? | 04:24 |
| sebsebseb | vaul: in my opinion there are quite a few bad changes in 10.04, at least for expereinced users such as myself, who have used Ubuntu either from the second release in 2005 in my case, or for some the first in 2004. However this is off topic, so this is a good thing to end it with. | 04:25 |

| Saxon | cello, when I try to start the movies on DVD, sometimes the opening starts, but then it cuts off, or just nothi9ng. | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: already in the what? | 04:27 |
| sharedLan | yes it's possible | 04:27 |
| cntrational | it's already in the respositories | 04:27 |

| soadkombucha | Saxon: Did you installed the ubuntu restricted drivers package? | 04:27 |
| lostinubuntu | i have a ibm e-server 445 and i can install the server just fine but then if i try to install desktop the video goes whack and get infinate loop | 04:27 |
| aurilliance | sharedLan, is that even possible? | 04:28 |
| aurilliance | sorry ^ | 04:28 |
| aurilliance | Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... | 04:28 |
| sharedLan | xp uses virtual memory for opengl and directx as well as the on videoboard memory | 04:28 |
| cellofellow | Saxon: kind of hard to diagnose that. Totem is a generally flakey DVD player. VLC always works for me, but that's works-for-me. If all else fails you can try buying the commercial DVD player from Fluendo. | 04:28 |
| Saxon | soad, yes all other restricted format work | 04:28 |
| sharedLan | ubuntu see's it but it is not enabled | 04:28 |

| ubottu | rpgsimmaster: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | !rar | 04:29 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 04:29 |
| rpgsimmaster | sebsebseb: That's why i google it for him | 04:29 |
| rpgsimmaster | *googled :P | 04:29 |
| soadkombucha | 7z > rar | 04:29 |
| sorcha | ok on the first line i get no directory found | 04:29 |
| cntrational | 7zip is good | 04:29 |
| sorcha | then for qmake i get a couple of options with get package | 04:30 |
| cellofellow | tar.lzma > 7z | 04:30 |
| pres | Between 7z and unrar, you can cover everything. | 04:30 |
| rpgsimmaster | Can someone else help sorcha build qavimator, I have to go? | 04:30 |
| cntrational | cellofellow: >:v | 04:30 |
| sorcha | is this something i will hav eto go through each time i use this | 04:30 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: No, just once | 04:31 |
| sorcha | thank heavens for that | 04:31 |
| cellofellow | cntrational: what? | 04:31 |
| cntrational | cellofellow: nothing | 04:31 |
| === CQ_ is now known as CQ | ||
| cellofellow | 7z is windows-specific, like zip. On *nix, better to use tar.lzma, which gives you the same compression algorithm with a UNIX-native archive format. | 04:31 |
| sharedLan | xp can even be glitched into using onboard video at the same time as pci video..and share that ram too..using "rivatuner" | 04:31 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorcha: Can you get someone else to help you now - I have to disappear, unfortunately; | 04:32 |
| rpgsimmaster | sorry | 04:32 |
| sorcha | thank you for your help | 04:32 |
| sorcha | i will try | 04:32 |
| sharedLan | I want the same kinda setup in my ubuntu studio | 04:32 |
| pres | That's crap. 7z and zip are not MSWindows specific. | 04:32 |
| === jmad980 is now known as _||^^||-\|]980 | ||
| sorcha | does anyone know how to build qavimator? | 04:32 |
| cellofellow | pres: yes they are. They store Windows file attributes, not Unix permissions. | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: 7-zip has a command line app for Linux distros | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: the graphical 7-zip program will also work nicely in Wine | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: and other programs in a Linux distro can deal with those files, native programs | 04:33 |
| cellofellow | p7zip is there and it works, yes, but that doesn't make it any less a Windows-specific archive format. | 04:33 |
| pres | sebsebseb; 7z integrates into Ubuntu's built in archiver. No need for Windows version+WINE. Or use cli, which is what I prefer. | 04:34 |
| lostinubuntu | i belive i have a buildt in radeon 7000/ve | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | pres: and here we got cellofellow thinking its a Windows thing | 04:34 |
| pres | Well that's wrong. | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: 7zip is open source, and RAR is more of a Windows thing, and RAR is horrible | 04:34 |
| juggalo4834 | why would ubuntu give me shitty download speeds and my window system gets great speeds | 04:34 |
| cntrational | how does it integrate into the built in archiver? that sounds neat | 04:35 |
| ruari | sorcha:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702049 | 04:35 |
| sharedLan | usually ubu gets great and xp fails | 04:35 |
| cntrational | sebsebseb: at least rar is a bit better than zip | 04:35 |
| ruari | towards bottom | 04:35 |
| cellofellow | sebsebseb: both zip and 7z specifically store windows file attributes, and can't store unix file attributes like permissions. Prove me wrong. | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | cntrational: not on a Linux distro | 04:35 |
| pres | cntrational; it just does. | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | !rar | 04:35 |
| sharedLan | juggo try disableing ipv6 | 04:35 |
| juggalo4834 | how so? | 04:35 |
| cntrational | pres: how do i do this | 04:35 |
| kostkon | sorcha, according to this: http://yetanotherubuntublog.blogspot.com/2010/03/qavimator-on-karmic-32-64bit.html you'll need to install some packages first | 04:35 |
| kostkon | sorcha, thus, give the command: sudo apt-get install subversion qt4-qmake libqt4-dev freeglut3-dev | 04:36 |
| sharedLan | well ping and d/l's in ubuntu my personal experiences has far exceeded and microsoft os's | 04:36 |
| sharedLan | any | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | sharedLan: also Wget is :) | 04:36 |
| pres | cntrational; just install 7z and unrar from the repos and it automatically intergrates. | 04:36 |
| sorcha | ok gonna run that and see | 04:36 |
| sharedLan | but there are settings that can free things up more | 04:36 |
| lostinubuntu | i love ubuntu but it seems that there is no support for my new (Used) server. all because of a video driver issue | 04:37 |
| sharedLan | do you have pci-e juggo? | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: whats the exact problem? and which card? | 04:37 |
| sharedLan | name of system and maker?? | 04:38 |
| aurilliance | Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... | 04:38 |
| sharedLan | model number of motherboard would help too | 04:38 |
| cntrational | pres: hmmm 7z doesn't appear to be in the repos | 04:38 |
| lostinubuntu | i have a imb e-server i can install the ubuntu server just fine but if i try to install the desktop it will cause the server to reboot forever | 04:38 |
| cellofellow | cntrational: it is, p7zip | 04:38 |
| cellofellow | !p7zip | 04:38 |
| lostinubuntu | it has a radeon 7000/ve | 04:38 |
| sharedLan | IBM? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: server edition? | 04:39 |
| lostinubuntu | yep ibm | 04:39 |

| pres | cntrational; type into terminal "sudo aptitude install p7zip-full unrar" | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: well your not meant to install a GUI on the server | 04:39 |
| sharedLan | hmm | 04:39 |
| === Keira is now known as Guest64 | ||
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: and you can run servers in the desktop version as well | 04:39 |
| cntrational | pres: oh, i used "7z" | 04:39 |
| cntrational | pres: 'kay | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | !server | lostinubuntu | 04:39 |
| ubottu | lostinubuntu: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| pres | cntrational; yeah I thought you may have. | 04:39 |
| sharedLan | the console works..becuase it's not using video..but you can use it to setup the gui?? | 04:39 |
| pres | ;-) | 04:39 |
| lostinubuntu | im used to running the gui in server | 04:40 |
| sharedLan | his issue is the video card won't run the gui | 04:40 |
| lostinubuntu | its how i do alot of quick things | 04:40 |
| lostinubuntu | exactly | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: and if you do the server LTS | 04:40 |
| lostinubuntu | the video card is a radeon 7000/ve | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: and do desktop stuff, well the desktop stuff will run out of support, before the server stuff | 04:40 |
| sharedLan | this is 10.4?? | 04:40 |
| lostinubuntu | yes 10.04 | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | !lts | 04:41 |
| 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) | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: you got a boot up issue? | 04:41 |
| lostinubuntu | only if i install the desktop | 04:41 |
| sharedLan | have you tried other drivers for it?? what is your chipset?? | 04:41 |
| lostinubuntu | thats what im looking for | 04:41 |
| lostinubuntu | no clue where to begin | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: did you install a propritary driver? | 04:41 |
| sharedLan | sudo lshw | 04:41 |
| lostinubuntu | the chipset would of been for a radeon ve or radeon 7000/ve | 04:41 |
| lostinubuntu | no clue how to do it | 04:42 |
| ITSOSIMPO | hello could someone send a link with instructions to free memory after unmounting /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs | 04:42 |
| sharedLan | the chipset is usually separate from the video card unless ati made that specifically for that board.. | 04:42 |
| lostinubuntu | but also another issue comes up seems this fsck thing likes to come up and cause lock | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | lostinubuntu: does the graphical boot up show ok or not? | 04:42 |
| lostinubuntu | well it is a buildt in video | 04:43 |
| sharedLan | how are you installing? | 04:43 |
| lostinubuntu | for the e-server 455 | 04:43 |
| sharedLan | hmm let me google | 04:43 |
| lostinubuntu | the only info i got was a dropped off support on it | 04:43 |

| lostinubuntu | and i am too noob at ubuntu to really know what im doing | 04:45 |
| lostinubuntu | love the server though | 04:45 |
| sharedLan | can you run sudo lshw and see if it report onboard video or just the chipset?? | 04:45 |
| lostinubuntu | hmm ill have to reinstall | 04:46 |
| sharedLan | hehe | 04:46 |

| mcl0vin | actionParsnip: how would i install it form liveCD | 05:24 |
| ubutom_ | preecher, asterisk but I don't know anything about that :) | 05:24 |
| actionParsnip | preecher: you'll need a fax modem at least | 05:24 |
| actionParsnip | !grub2 | mcl0vin | 05:24 |
| ubottu | mcl0vin: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 05:24 |
| Flannel | preecher: There are, I suggest you search the repositories for others, but if nothing else 'efax' claims to be what you're looking for | 05:25 |
| preecher | ubutom and actionParsnip and Flannel thx-) - | 05:26 |
| actionParsnip | preecher: isnt fax fairly dead now email exists | 05:26 |
| preecher | actionP | 05:26 |
| supernothing | actionParsnip: so is snail mail, but people still use it occasionally :P | 05:27 |
| actionParsnip | preecher: you may be able to send fax from email clients, i know outlook can do it but i think its some magic in exchange or somesuch | 05:27 |
| cntrational | actionParsnip: we can't exactly talk, since we're using irc | 05:27 |
| preecher | actionParsnip yea i kno i was just lookin at some things and was wondering | 05:27 |
| actionParsnip | supernothing: oh totally | 05:27 |
| hasek79 | is there a way to make the admin for the system also the owner? | 05:27 |
| * actionParsnip isnt in a fit state to advise so will only be answering easy questions | 05:27 | |
| cntrational | and snail mail is cool | 05:27 |
| actionParsnip | pidgeon post is cooler than snail mail | 05:28 |
| cntrational | *space* snail mail | 05:28 |
| ubutom_ | fax is still used for canceling contracts and so on, though e-mail replaced it in many cases, yeah, but fax isn't dead | 05:28 |
| soadkombucha | I find it funny that the Ubuntu support channel is still IRC | 05:28 |
| chaz | soadkombucha: What do you think it should be? | 05:29 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: makes sense, what would you use instead? | 05:29 |
| supernothing | you know, just go all the way and use avian tcp: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html | 05:29 |
| soadkombucha | chaz: Nothing else, but still. IRC is not very common anymore | 05:29 |

| Neo31 | In windows RDP does this : Port Redirection allows applications running within the terminal session to access local serial ports directly. >> any idea on how to do it in linux? | 05:34 |
| cntrational | Cathal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootCamp | 05:34 |
| ubutom_ | Cathal, since it is PPC, good place to ask there I guess | 05:34 |
| cntrational | no wait | 05:35 |
| Cathal | thanks | 05:35 |
| cntrational | this page is useless | 05:35 |
| xiong | Cathal, It's always a good idea to browse heavily for background. But you're welcome to talk about Mac install here. Which kind of Mac? | 05:36 |
| Cathal | yeah, the Mac in question is running 9.2 | 05:36 |
| Cathal | its an old Mac G3 | 05:36 |
| UbuntuLily | HOw do I check for hard disk errors (Physical)? (In Winblow it was chkdsk /f/r ) | 05:36 |
| cntrational | is it a powerPC or inte- powerPC, then | 05:36 |
| xiong | Cathal, You will not get Ubuntu on that, sorry. | 05:36 |
| ubutom_ | G3 is powerpc | 05:36 |
| supernothing | UbubtuLily: fsck | 05:37 |
| hasek79 | can you watch quicktime file formats on the internet? is there a plugin for the web browsers to see them? | 05:37 |
| xiong | Cathal, You may want to look into one of the Yellow Dog distros. Also, OpenSUSE supports PPC. | 05:37 |
| yuan | BU HU YONG ZHE GE | 05:37 |
| Cathal | I used to work with open suse, back when it was 10.0 | 05:37 |
| cntrational | well actually you can sorta isntall ubuntu | 05:37 |
| ubutom_ | !cn | yuan | 05:37 |
| ubottu | yuan: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 05:37 |
| supernothing | UbuntuLily: chkdsk only checks for filesystem errors though, if i remember correctly...been awhile since i've been on the windows though | 05:37 |
| coz_ | yuan, are you sure you are not being silly now? | 05:37 |
| Flannel | yuan: This channel is english only, please join #ubuntu-cn for Chinese | 05:37 |
| xiong | Cathal, Not to discourage you but I did spend quite a long time trying to get Linux on a PPC machine. There's much to be said for getting new hardware. No offense. | 05:37 |
| actionParsnip | UbuntuLily: fsck -a /dev/partitionname (if you use -r for chkdsk) | 05:38 |
| cntrational | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPC apparently there are community supported PPC releases | 05:38 |
| Cathal | heh, well, this is a toy for now | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I agree with xiong - i worked at getting linux on my imac DV ( a 500mhz ppc) and basically it was more trouble then it was worth. | 05:38 |
| UbuntuLily | kool thanx | 05:38 |
| UbuntuLily | how do I get part name? | 05:38 |
| Cathal | if I do get it up. it'll only be for formatting, or re-formatting ebooks. | 05:38 |
| actionParsnip | UbuntuLily: you can also use ultimate boot disk to test it with the manufacturers tools (will require CD / USB to boot from) | 05:38 |
| actionParsnip | UbuntuLily: sudo fdisk -l will (L)ist the partitions | 05:39 |
| supernothing | UbuntuLily: System->Administration->Disk Utility will let you find hardware issues i believe as well | 05:39 |
| supernothing | if you need those | 05:39 |
| xiong | Cathal, If you're looking at it as a way to salvage old hardware, maybe yes. | 05:39 |
| yuan | ZHE SHI | 05:39 |
| xiong | I wasn't aware that there was *any* PPC Ubuntu port. | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !java | 05:39 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 05:39 |
| soadkombucha | supernothing: chkdsk only checks for bad hardware sectors | 05:39 |
| soadkombucha | xiong: it exists | 05:39 |
| soadkombucha | supernothing: On an HDD | 05:40 |
| actionParsnip | xiong: sure there are ppc version | 05:40 |
| UbuntuLily | Well my issue is I am trying to install mythubuntu and I got an IO error. The error said it could be the CD or the hard drive, but since I pulled this PC off a shelf its been sitting on for like a year I wanted to make sure the hard drive was okay before I go wasting disks | 05:40 |
| xiong | Well, I would still try OpenSUSE first. | 05:40 |
| gommle | synergy is lagging, and the sudo workaround isn't working. any ideas? | 05:40 |
| actionParsnip | xiong: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso | 05:40 |
| soadkombucha | gommle: What's the sudo workaround? | 05:40 |
| soadkombucha | gommle: Did you try sudo -s?? | 05:40 |
| gommle | simply running as superuser. | 05:40 |
| gommle | synergyc that is | 05:40 |
| soadkombucha | gommle: What exactly is synergyc? | 05:40 |
| supernothing | soadkombucha: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true it checks the filesystem according to this | 05:40 |
| holocene | msg nickserv indentify xchat666 | 05:41 |
| soadkombucha | supernothing: Yeah. | 05:41 |
| supernothing | you can't "correct" physical failures | 05:41 |
| gommle | program for sharing mouse/keyboard over network | 05:41 |
| soadkombucha | supernothing: You never can | 05:41 |
| cntrational | Cathal: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ here's a powerPC port of lucid | 05:41 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuLily, if that I/o error is during install or before rebooting, thats a thing the livecd has on all my pc | 05:41 |
| soadkombucha | gommle: Did you try gksudo? | 05:41 |
| ly | hai | 05:41 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuLily, no need to worry about that | 05:41 |
| ly | dajiaha | 05:42 |
| xiong | actionParsnip, Thank you but I'm not going that way. I have one old G3 running 9.2.2 and I'm keeping it just that way, until I get all my files from it. I may keep it around for specialized graphics work. | 05:42 |
| soadkombucha | gommle: With QuickSynergy? | 05:42 |
| UbuntuLily | I dont think it finished tho | 05:42 |
| supernothing | soadkombucha: never is such a dirty word. it's very difficult to. and you definitely can't do it in software, unless you mean write around it. but yeah, ckdsk cleans filesystems, not checks disks for failures afaik | 05:42 |
| gommle | installing quicksynergy now. But I doubt it will work, as it's simply a GUI | 05:42 |
| UbuntuLily | it was 48 % thru, than I got the IO error than I went to get a drink and the installer was gone | 05:42 |
| ly | 大家好阿 | 05:43 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: What speed did you burn the disc at | 05:43 |
| ly | 大家好阿 | 05:43 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: Try to reburn the image on a disc that supports 2.4x and burn it that slow | 05:43 |
| Cathal | thank you cntrational, that's just what I needed. here's hoping it works. I want to completely wipe the old OS and rebuild from scratch is possible. | 05:43 |
| test34 | Any firewall program that is similar to ZoneAlarm? | 05:43 |
| aurilliance | Does anyone here have an egalax touchscreen? I'm having trouble getting mine to handle rotation... | 05:43 |
| UbuntuLily | high- think 20x | 05:43 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuLily, ah, ok, that's different then, got it only in the shell before the disc unmounts after installing | 05:43 |
| yuan | 这个东西怎么用 b］ | 05:43 |
| actionParsnip | !firewall | test34 | 05:43 |
| ubottu | test34: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 05:43 |
| UbuntuLily | is there a way to do an integrity check on the disk? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | test34: firewalls in linux work in a radically different way then they do in windows. So somthing like zone alarm is really not needed. | 05:44 |
| ubutom_ | !cn | yuan | 05:44 |
| ubottu | yuan: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 05:44 |
| cntrational | Cathal: it's not an official port, though | 05:44 |
| Cathal | will, it update if I connect it? | 05:44 |
| cntrational | probably | 05:44 |
| yuan | ＃ubuntu-hk | 05:44 |
| Cathal | *nods* | 05:44 |
| Cathal | that's all I really need then | 05:44 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: What kind of disc? | 05:45 |
| yuan | 这个东西不会搞 | 05:45 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: Ubuntu install disc? | 05:45 |
| Cathal | like I said, it will be primarily for formatting ebooks. | 05:45 |
| test34 | Dr_Willis, Some are radically different, but they should clone zonealarm | 05:45 |
| yuan | 第一回用 | 05:45 |
| test34 | #ubuntu.jp | 05:45 |
| UbuntuLily | Ya - Mythbuntu to be exact | 05:45 |
| ly | 怎么完这个阿 | 05:45 |
| soadkombucha | test34: They don't need to yet...Windows is much more compromised | 05:45 |
| actionParsnip | test34: submit the idea at: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com ;) | 05:45 |
| ly | 我不会完阿 | 05:45 |
| bazhang | yuan, english here ly you too | 05:45 |

| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: But like I said, try reburning the ISO at 2.4x | 05:46 |
| bazhang | yuan ly #ubuntu-cn for Chinese | 05:46 |
| sha1sum | Hey all. I think my disc got corrupt somehow, and I don't have another burner around. I'm using the livecd for 10.04 now, and I'd like to know if there's a way I can just install from the network packages, but from the live cd? | 05:46 |
| UbuntuLily | Ill do that too | 05:46 |
| ly | 不知道 | 05:46 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: Generally a slower burn speed results in less chance of the disc failing | 05:46 |
| test34 | soadkombucha, i like to know when a program that isnt supposed to access the net actually tries | 05:46 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: For future advice, NEVER burn an ISO image at full write speed. | 05:47 |
| UbuntuLily | yes, normally I burn slower, i just wasn't thinkin | 05:47 |
| test34 | actionParsnip, I'll take a look, thanks | 05:47 |
| ly | ti | 05:47 |
| gommle | sha1sum, the USB install works nicely, and you don't have to format it either. just a heads up | 05:47 |
| soadkombucha | UbuntuLily: Ahh alright | 05:47 |

| UbuntuLily | thanx! kiss ;) | 05:47 |
| sha1sum | gommle: awesome. where can I get it? | 05:47 |
| sin_tax | Is a single ext partition with ubuntu installed a bad way to start a dual boot (ubuntu / *dows) setup? Or can I modify the partition and use GRUB or something to do the dual boot? | 05:47 |
| soadkombucha | sha1sum: Download the ISO | 05:47 |
| soadkombucha | sha1sum: And download unetbootin | 05:47 |
| soadkombucha | sha1sum: And it will write the ISO image to a bootable USB drive for you | 05:48 |
| gommle | sha1sum, I only used the GUI for windows, but I assume it exists for ubuntu too | 05:48 |
| soadkombucha | unetbootin? | 05:48 |
| soadkombucha | It exists cross platform | 05:48 |
| sha1sum | soadkombucha: can you give me the URL for the ISO for 32 bit 10.04? Firefox is one of the sectors of the disc that is corrupt so I have to use wget I guess | 05:48 |
| crdlb | sin_tax: you should install windows first | 05:48 |
| sin_tax | I was afraid of that :-( | 05:48 |
| cntrational | the best way is to install windows then ubuntu | 05:49 |

| soadkombucha | sha1sum: Actually.. | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless of course you count the best way as locking up the windows cd.. and not even installing windows at all. :) | 05:49 |
| crdlb | the_file: what GPU do you have? | 05:49 |
| sha1sum | cool thanks | 05:49 |
| soadkombucha | sha1sum: If you download unetbootin | 05:49 |
| the_file | crappy | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | the_file: chmod +x whatever.run, then ./whatever.run | 05:50 |

| Raj | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product product: 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection | 05:54 |

| actionParsnip | mneptok: lshw covers both ;) | 05:54 |
| SIREN | #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:55 |
| mneptok | Raj: so what is the issue? the 3945 has been supported in the kernel for a few years. | 05:55 |
| actionParsnip | Raj: what is the output of: lsb_release -c ? | 05:55 |
| Raj | Codename:lucid | 05:56 |
| Raj | is the output of lsb_release | 05:57 |
| Raj | its very confusing here | 05:57 |
| mneptok | Raj: what is the exact symptom you are experiencing? | 05:57 |
| Raj | well, it says connected but when i try to browse the net | 05:57 |

| soadkombucha | What torrent client would you recommend? Transmission or KTorrent | 05:59 |
| mneptok | Raj: well, what does the AP actually use? | 05:59 |
| === rollman is now known as WoW | ||
| Raj | what is AP? | 06:00 |
| mneptok | Raj: access point | 06:00 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: i use transmission due to my phone being able to talk beautifully with it, both are great, if you use gnome and instal ktorrent you will pull in a tonne of qt libs | 06:00 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: I have multiple desktop managers installed | 06:00 |
| actionParsnip | Raj: does it connect with no security | 06:00 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: I have the space for it. I've been using transmission.. I wanted to try out KTorrent | 06:00 |
| soadkombucha | I'm partial to the utorrentesque GUI | 06:00 |
| Raj | let me chk | 06:01 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: ok then both are good, ktorrent has a web ui too but you have to install php5-cli extra (last I used kde it was needed) | 06:01 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: go for it then dude, its free to try | 06:01 |
| sha1sum | soadkombucha: is there any way I can skip the USB thing and load the iso via loopback or something and do it that way? | 06:01 |

| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: I have kde installed | 06:01 |
| cntrational | soadkombucha: i like transmission | 06:01 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: I'm a utorrent fanboy | 06:02 |
| soadkombucha | cntrational: KTorrent is closer than Transmission | 06:02 |
| soadkombucha | Torrenting works better on linux I get better speeds. | 06:02 |

| Dr_Willis | usf: step #1. try to mount it by hand - using the command line. | 06:07 |
| * mneptok is reminded to run an fsck on the company's backup disk downstairs | 06:07 | |
| usf | Dr_Willis:it's not detected,how can i do it? | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | usf: your use of the term 'detected' is vague.. how are you determining its not detected>? | 06:08 |
| face | Grandr doesn't give me any options other than 1024x768 or 800x600. My screen is 1600x900. | 06:08 |
| face | Why is this? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | usf: does 'sudo fdisk -l' show it? if so - then it IS being detected by the system.. (gnome may be confused) | 06:08 |
| soadkombucha | usf: You can mount a hidden partition | 06:08 |
| usf | Dr_Willis:not in /media | 06:08 |
| soadkombucha | sudo mkdir /media/disk | 06:08 |
| face | I've been told to edit my xorg, but that caused problems for me too, and I had to reconfigure the file. | 06:09 |
| actionParsnip | face: what video card? | 06:09 |
| face | Hold on | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | usf: thats not showing that its not 'detected' by the system.. check fdisk -l output, and 'dmesg' output. | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | usf: If you can determine what '/dev/sdXX' it is. then you can try to mount it by hand. | 06:09 |

| face | That | 06:11 |
| face | s the output. | 06:11 |
| actionParsnip | face: oh, one of those. yeah you'll need an xorg.conf file dude. You'll be fighting it until you get a nice display | 06:11 |
| face | Okay, okay. | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | usf: determina what /dev/sdXX it is.. and use commands like soadkombucha posted.. but he did a typo. :) it will be like /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb | 06:12 |
| face | Would you be kind enough to help me with that? | 06:12 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: OK sorry. | 06:12 |
| paranoidphreak | hi everybody, i have a 16gig flash drive and i have ubuntu 10.04 installed on it (8gigs) and swap (2gigs) allocated towards linux and the remaining free space, i'm planning on allocating toward data, (fat format). i'm planning on using public computers to access this partition. should i be worried about this because i may catch a virus or something that corrupts my OS or is it wise to get a new flash drive for storing data? | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: ive seen cases where you do uise /dev/sdb :) but proberly not in this case. | 06:13 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: The only reason I remember that command is because I needed it to manually downgrade to patch the firmware on my archos | 06:13 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: And my archos used /dev/sdb | 06:13 |

| actionParsnip | face: its derrived from jiggle | 06:16 |

| paranoidphreak | greezmunkey: i'm using fat just to store data | 06:30 |
| usf | soadkombucha:okey yesterday it works perfectly | 06:30 |
| greezmunkey | paranoidphreak: exactly, I would think any virus activity on the fat partition would only affect that partition. | 06:30 |

| paranoidphreak | actionParsnip, greezmunkey: thanks for the info | 06:32 |
| soadkombucha | ConfusedLinux_: Installing Windows first and then installing Linux | 06:32 |
| evodragun | I read alot about Empathy an say soppurt webcam but nothing | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: if you have 2 hard drives.. that makes it very very easy. | 06:32 |
| greezmunkey | sharedLan: it would have to be a darned smart virus to cross over from fat to ext3...especially if the ext3 isn't even mounted... | 06:32 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: Hmm. Try installing Cheese, see if your webcam is recognized | 06:32 |

| soadkombucha | evodragun: That's odd | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: with 1 hd. you may want to resize the windows partition from within windows. leave part of the HD unallocated. and let the ubuntu installer install to that unalocated space. | 06:32 |
| evodragun | Odd??? | 06:33 |

| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: People really install windows to just one partition on a hard drive? | 06:33 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: try adding the wine ppa then upgrading | 06:33 |

| aurilliance | Does anyone here have a touchscreen? | 06:34 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | actionParsnip: whats wine ppa? im new to linux if you cant tell | 06:34 |
| greezmunkey | paranoidphreak: if you are that worried, keep your ubuntu ssd in your pocket when using public pcs, get another one for transferring files. They're pretty cheap these days. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: someone posted the drive layout on their new win7 boxx in here the other day.. windows 7 + the hp recovery partition took up all 4 primary partitions.. that was a total mess. | 06:34 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:34 |
| Adem | how do i modify my font config file? | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: win7 likes to use 2 primary partitions these days one for some sort of /boot/ feature. (ive never used it) | 06:35 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: you may be new to linux but not new to websearching, instead of asking, take direction and run with it instead of asking. you'll learn more and faster | 06:35 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: It allocates 100MB for the boot sector files | 06:35 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: I remember watching you work through that with him, it was pretty sticky. | 06:35 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | actionParsnip: i did, ive been trying to find answers on google for at least a week. nothing | 06:35 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I have that 100MB because Ubuntu is easier to dualboot if you install windows first | 06:35 |
| b14ck | How can I remove a group from a user? I accidentally assigned one of my users to the group 'www-data', and I'd like to remove that group from the user. I'm using server edition, so I need the command line argument, not the GUI tool. | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: i dont know if he ever got it going or not. I love how PC makers take up a huge part of your HD so they dont have to include optical-recovery media.. THEN charge you extra for the disks. | 06:36 |
| wise_crypt | soadkombucha: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi | 06:36 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: exactly! | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: i keep the oss on their own hd's that makes it even easier. :) | 06:36 |
| aurilliance | I have 3 disks on my pc that I am installing ubuntu on. How should I format them | 06:36 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: My laptop only has one drive | 06:36 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: try a different search engine if google fails you | 06:36 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: depends On your needs. | 06:36 |
| aurilliance | Dr_Willis, I want to install ubuntu on the largest one, and then use the other two simply for storage | 06:37 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: And I think I'm going to resize my extended data partition and install Chromium OS just to try it out. Or attempt to get Hackintosh running | 06:37 |
| greezmunkey | later... | 06:37 |
| abc11 | hao | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: next laptop i get - im buying a 2nd hd just for it to keep the 'windows' system on. and keep it on a shelf. :) and use linux on its own hd. | 06:37 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | actionParsnip: although i highly doubt i will find an answer, ill go check again. | 06:37 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I don't mind dual booting, it's not a huge deal to me. | 06:37 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: it is possible to use grub2 to boot ISO files. Thats a handy way to test out different disrtos. | 06:38 |
| aurilliance | Dr_Willis, My real q is: should I use ext4 for all of them? And what is the difference between Logical / Primary? | 06:38 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: Especially seeing as the laptop was bought for me as a present and my parents think if I install anything other than Windows to it it will die | 06:38 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: i gave you the full and exact command you neede | 06:38 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: Thaks for everything | 06:38 |
| aurilliance | Dr_Willis, Can grub2 do that? (boot iso's)? | 06:38 |
| Doonz | hey does anyone know of a webpage template that acts like googles picasa? | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: when in doubt ext4. You can have 4 primary partitions MAX per hard drive.. ONE of those Primaries can be a extended, that holds logicals. | 06:38 |
| ruari | b14ck: sudo deluser username groupname | 06:38 |
| actionParsnip | [06:34] <actionParsnip> ConfusedLinux_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:38 |
| evodragun | I have more questions but I see you to busy LOL | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: so if you just need 1 partition per hd. use primarys. | 06:38 |
| b14ck | ruari, thanks so much :) | 06:38 |
| soadkombucha | And you can have up to 60 logicals? | 06:38 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | actionParsnip: is there any chance that will mess anything up? what does it even do? | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: if you need 4 or less partitions per hd.. use primaries.. | 06:38 |
| evodragun | See you in other time and thanks again | 06:38 |
| ruari | np | 06:39 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: We can answer. | 06:39 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: We may look busy, but people just help people whenever, it's not that we're really ignoring anybody. | 06:39 |
| slacker- | actionParsnip: ok the nomodeset option fixed the console, now how do I get my framebuffer back? I put GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 in /etc/default/grub, will that do it? | 06:39 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: And it's not a problem. | 06:39 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux_: it adds the wine development ppa which is a 3rd party repository (non-canonical) and then upgrades, the version on the wine ppa is later than the canonical version so you will download the later version of wine | 06:39 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I don't know how to use GRUB2 to boot an ISO | 06:39 |

| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I do have to say I like that Linux is case-sensitive...Although it causes problems in Windows sometimes | 06:42 |

| Joker | Can someone help me with my microphone issue? I'm running Ubuntu NR 10.04 and none of my programs will recognize my built-in microphone. | 06:43 |
| soadkombucha | ConfusedLinux_: If you had two folders on an NTFS drive that you were using in Ubuntu | 06:43 |
| slacker- | actionParsnip: will follow anyway and maybe do some searching myself ;) | 06:43 |
| soadkombucha | ConfusedLinux_: And one was /DATA and the other was /data | 06:43 |
| aurilliance | Dr_Willis, one more thing :P (thanks for all the help btw) it's asking me to choose a swap partition as well, where would be the best place for that? | 06:43 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: In Windows I use software like Ccleaner o Vopt to clean and defrag my unit | 06:43 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | soadkombucha: well considering i have no idea what that means, and I just used wubi, i think ill be alright | 06:43 |

| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: it can also be an issue with Samba shares. if you have 'DataDir' and 'datadir' on the same share.. windows can get confused and not see one. | 06:43 |
| soadkombucha | ConfusedLinux_: Ubuntu is case sensitive, recognizes them as different folders. Windows thinks DATA and data are the same thing | 06:43 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: In Ubuntu exist something like that?? | 06:43 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: There are defraggers | 06:44 |
| Joker | Any help with my problem? :) | 06:44 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | so should i get a different distro than ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: There is no registry cleaner. Ubuntu manages cleanup pretty well on its own. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: i alwyas make a 512mb swap on every hd. but in your case. You proberly want to put it on the HD that will get used the least. and the fastest.. but you may never even need swap. so it may not matter much | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: its a free world.. get what you want. | 06:44 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: Can you recomend one drefragger? | 06:44 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: I've never defragged on linux hold on | 06:44 |

| soadkombucha | evodragun:I mean you don't really have to | 06:45 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: Okas | 06:45 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: Linux just.. It's a lot more organized and doesn't do the crazy things windows does | 06:45 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | dr_willis: the only reason I have linux is for running Starcraft because Windows 7 freezes when you play it, so other than that i'll stick to Windows simplicity | 06:45 |

| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: so you cant 'fix' windows.. so you want to play windows games in linux.. :) Check the wine app database on that game and see if theres any known wine issues with it. | 06:46 |
| Adem | where can i download monospace font | 06:46 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: Actually, Starcraft 2 beta works better under Wine than it does natively under windows | 06:46 |
| evodragun | Soadkombucha: I see ubuntu use only the procesor and to much memory | 06:47 |
| Evil_ | soadkombucha, I had openjdk installed and tried installing limewire but it's complaining about not having sun-java6-jdk | 06:47 |

| Dr_Willis | Adem: theres several fonts in the package manager repos. There were some mono fonts also installed by default | 06:47 |
| soadkombucha | Evil_: Install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras Package. Or enable the canonical repository and search for it | 06:47 |

| evodragun | Soadkombucha: I dont understand | 06:48 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: You're accustomed to Windows I assume? | 06:48 |

| Dr_Willis | chinmaya__: what default zoom are you talking about? | 06:49 |
| soadkombucha | evodragun: Linux is completely different. The file structure is completely different, the way it manages files is different, and the speed at which it boots is much faster. | 06:49 |
| actionParsnip | chinmaya__: are you using compiz? | 06:49 |

| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: depends on config of both, but generally linux boots faster | 06:49 |
| chinmaya__ | actionParsnip, yes. But I mean the zoom property of the window which shows files. I mean in nautilus | 06:49 |

| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: its not.. windows is confuseing. | 06:51 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: But 1 minute is better than Windows | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: and using games in wine. is always a bit of a gamble. | 06:52 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I think my boot time is somewhere around 30-40 seconds max | 06:52 |
| profxavier | Dr_Willis, then how do you access the shared drive/folder ? | 06:52 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | dr_willis: windows is really simple. you dont need to use terminal or anything like that | 06:52 |
| soadkombucha | I use command.com in windows all the time | 06:52 |

| Colonel_Panic | I'm not asking about wine | 06:57 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | dr_willis: alright, ill go get ubuntu back for now. whats an IRC program I can use once i get there? | 06:57 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I will NEVER run Dragon Age Origins under wine | 06:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: nick completion :) | 06:57 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: play on linux is free, I believe you are thinking of cedega or crossover office | 06:57 |
| chinmaya__ | mneptok, it just sets temporarily... but when i open the next time its just standing at 66% only!! | 06:57 |
| profxavier | when connecting to an Ubuntu machine, via samba, how do you surf to a folder, when the machine is Windows 7. I am trying to go to \\ip.address, but im being prompted for a user/password | 06:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: theres dozens of irc clients out there. xchat is the common one. | 06:57 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: Not too long ago crossover was free for a while | 06:57 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | my experience with playonlinux is terrible | 06:57 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | it doesnt even install | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | what I want to do is be able to access the SSID and signal strength info from my wirelewss card | 06:58 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | anyways | 06:58 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | wubi time | 06:58 |
| ConfusedLinux_ | be back soon | 06:58 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: What wireless card | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux_: what game exactly are you trying to play? Starcraft 1 2? 3 ? i dont even keep track. | 06:58 |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: on the server run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and type your login password for $USER for all prompts | 06:58 |
| lost | help on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/455777/ | 06:58 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: It's 2 | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | it's a broadcom | 06:58 |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: you can now authenticate as $USER | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | in a Dell Mini 9 | 06:58 |
| chinmaya__ | Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% | 06:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux is 'bad' because wine cant play all windows games.. :) Gotta love the logic. | 06:58 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: Hmm. The only wireless card I know how to configure well is my realtek driver because those are a PAIN to get running on ubuntu | 06:59 |
| actionParsnip | Dr_Willis: its flawed, it's wines fault ;) | 06:59 |
| profxavier | actionParsnip, then any domain/user combo, as long as user is on the server, should work ? | 06:59 |
| * wise_crypt cant understand that | 06:59 | |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: just needs to be the username you used, no need for domain stuff | 06:59 |
| Colonel_Panic | Well,if I mouse over the wireless signal icon in my system tray, it displays the SSID and other info about the network | 06:59 |
| chinmaya__ | Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% | 07:00 |
| ConfusedLinux | eh | 07:00 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: Does it at least connect? | 07:00 |
| slacker- | actionParsnip: thanks for your help | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah, it works fine | 07:00 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: Lucky you. I had to compile my drivers. | 07:00 |
| actionParsnip | slacker-: np bro | 07:00 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis it wont even install Ubuntu Netbook | 07:00 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: And they're still iffy sometimes... Although I downloaded a slightly more recent release and it seems to be running better | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | if I open the connection manager, the ESSID, BSSID, signal strength, etc. are displayed | 07:00 |
| profxavier | actionParsnip, the Windows dialog already pre-fills that info in | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | but that info does not show up in iwconfig | 07:01 |
| chinmaya__ | Does anyone know how to control the default zoom property for nautilus. For one of my folders it has got reset to 66% rather than 100% | 07:01 |
| soadkombucha | Hmm | 07:01 |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: i see, you may have to change it to the name on the Ubuntu side which is what you authenticating against | 07:01 |
| profxavier | ah, perfect | 07:01 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: I have no idea | 07:01 |
| Colonel_Panic | what I want to do is access that info somehow, so I can display it on my conky-enhanced desktop | 07:01 |
| profxavier | working, thanks actionParsnip/Dr_Willis | 07:01 |
| Colonel_Panic | does anyone know the name of the connection manager in Ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | chinmaya__: the people in #gnome may know where that setting is at.. ive never had one folder get 'stuck' | 07:01 |
| ConfusedLinux | Does anyone have a simple way, like Wubi, to install Linux Mint 9 dual booted with Windows 7? | 07:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: dont use mint. I dont see any point in using mint. | 07:02 |
| actionParsnip | !mint | ConfusedLinux | 07:02 |
| ubottu | ConfusedLinux: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 07:02 |
| chinmaya__ | Dr_Willis, thanks!! I will get this to them... :) | 07:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: if you want to 'test' out linux in an easy way. try it in virtualbox. | 07:02 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: WICD | 07:02 |
| wise_crypt | !mint | ConfusedLinux | 07:02 |
| Colonel_Panic | WICD? | 07:02 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK | 07:02 |
| actionParsnip | Dr_Willis: i believe it has all the restricted stuff already rolled in | 07:03 |
| soadkombucha | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299462 | 07:03 |
| Colonel_Panic | I wonder how I can go about accessing that information then | 07:03 |
| soadkombucha | That was a few years ago | 07:03 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: dont know how, also, mint might work 1st try unlike ubuntu | 07:03 |
| soadkombucha | But I can't see them changing it too much | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | actionParsnip: its got a lot of JUnk rolled in. :) | 07:03 |
| soadkombucha | lemme check synaptic | 07:03 |
| rashd7_ | hi all | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: go do what you want.. but then see the Mint channel not here. | 07:03 |
| actionParsnip | Dr_Willis: yah | 07:03 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm thinking about writing a python script to pass that daya to conky | 07:03 |
| HeTaL | Colonel_Panic: WICD is not the main connection manager. | 07:03 |
| Colonel_Panic | =OK... | 07:03 |
| rashd7_ | i have a trident tv tuner card which works fine on windows | 07:03 |
| rashd7_ | but in linux its not recognised | 07:03 |
| soadkombucha | HeTaL: What is it then? I'm curious | 07:04 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: Did you try command arguments for iwconfig? | 07:04 |
| Colonel_Panic | well, I just want to find out where that information is stored | 07:04 |
| actionParsnip | HeTaL: its still a good network manager, its DE independant too so can be used on any desktop without issue | 07:04 |
| rashd7_ | how to use my tv tuner card in ubuntu 10.04 | 07:04 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: Does it work with the ubuntu wireless panel? | 07:04 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah that ESSID, BSSID, signal strength, etc doesn't show up. | 07:04 |
| HeTaL | actionParsnip: I thought he might want to run it after it crashed. | 07:04 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: not seen that before | 07:04 |
| soadkombucha | Colonel_Panic: iwconfig x | 07:04 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: whats the mint channel? | 07:04 |
| actionParsnip | HeTaL: i prefer it personally | 07:04 |
| HeTaL | actionParsnip: Same here | 07:04 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: new to irc as well | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: no idea. see the mint homepage.. and i dont know that either.. | 07:05 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: Seen what? | 07:05 |
| HeTaL | soadkombucha: It's a gnome default, if I remember correctly. Can't remember the name | 07:05 |

| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: The panel icon that displays the wireless connectivity? | 07:05 |
| wise_crypt | Colonel_Panic: just download network-manager from apt and see what in it might do the trick :) | 07:05 |
| Colonel_Panic | ok | 07:05 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: ubuntu wireless panel | 07:05 |

| === wwarrior_ is now known as wwarrior | ||
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: oic, yeah it runs around there | 07:06 |
| Colonel_Panic | it's something to do with that wl-broadcom driver | 07:06 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: I'm going to try it out | 07:06 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: you mean the indicator applet | 07:06 |
| soadkombucha | actionParsnip: Yeah I didn't know the name for it | 07:06 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: it doesnt support 3G afaik | 07:06 |
| Colonel_Panic | also, my wifi adapter shows up as eth0 | 07:06 |
| liga | здравствуйте | 07:06 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: heres the error ubuntu netbook gives me when i try using Wubi | 07:06 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: it may run in the tray rather than indicator. i dont use gnome | 07:06 |
| Colonel_Panic | sorry, I mean eth1 | 07:07 |
| mneptok | !ru | liga | 07:07 |
| ubottu | liga: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 07:07 |
| soadkombucha | Wow WICD looks nice | 07:07 |
| Colonel_Panic | if I plug in my USB wifi adapter, it shows up as wlan0 | 07:07 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: one sec, I have to wait for the error | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: i never use wubi either. I do normal dual boots on my netbook. I thought you had a WINE issue? | 07:08 |
| actionParsnip | soadkombucha: its a pc with a green bar, not exactly a looer | 07:08 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: i have tons of linux issues. | 07:08 |
| raj-darkmystery | msg NickServ identify mailjol | 07:08 |
| Colonel_Panic | is there a way to change the name of my internal broadcom adapter to wlan0 instead of eth0? | 07:08 |
| mneptok | raj-darkmystery: oops. password change time | 07:08 |
| Colonel_Panic | sorry if this sounds confusing | 07:08 |
| raj-darkmystery | mnemon, yes hehe :) | 07:08 |
| Colonel_Panic | I think it's some strange quirk of wl-broadcom driver | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: from what ive noticed that name depensds on the driver its using. I got a similer issue on one of my laptops | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: thw wireless works.. its just a little confuseing to some applets | 07:09 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: it doesn't recognize that a disk is in in both Wine and Playonlinux so whenever I want to play I have to type stuff into terminal. When I do get it running, about three or four minutes into a game it will kick me out of ubuntu. Now wubi wont work. | 07:09 |
| `Assassin | What's the name of that Ubuntu app with which you install drivers? | 07:10 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: wubi might be working this time | 07:10 |
| Colonel_Panic | I believe if it was named wlan0 instead of eth0, the info relevant to wifi will be displayed | 07:10 |
| Colonel_Panic | by conky | 07:10 |
| Colonel_Panic | get what I'm saying? | 07:10 |

| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: often with wine - and some games. the issue can be the game-cd-copy protection. ive had to use various no-cd-cracks in the past to play my 'legally bought' games in Wine befor,. | 07:10 |

| ubottu | soad_sleep, please see my private message | 07:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLnux, have you looked up the game in the WineHQ? | 07:11 |
| ConfusedLinux | yes | 07:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | what game is it? | 07:12 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: i think there might be a developer-made no cd thing | 07:12 |
| ConfusedLinux | starcraft | 07:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | I've been able to get a lot of games running in Linux under Wine | 07:12 |
| ConfusedLinux | well you apparently have magical powers... | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: starcrtaft 1? 2? 1.3.34.2? | 07:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLinux, how much RAM do you have in your machine? | 07:13 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: SC 1, latest patch. 4gb ram and 2.11 ghz processor | 07:13 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: also SC brood-war | 07:13 |
| ConfusedLinux | ooops | 07:13 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=72 | 07:13 |
| ConfusedLinux | actionParsnip: believe me, ive read it multiple times already | 07:14 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLinux, I've never played Starcraft so I wouldn't know about that game specifically | 07:14 |
| Colonel_Panic | How much RAM do you have in your machine? | 07:14 |
| profxavier | how can I run applications on my Windows 7 system | 07:14 |
| ConfusedLinux | 4gb | 07:14 |
| ConfusedLinux | and a 2.11ghz processor | 07:15 |
| profxavier | like they would be running on Ubuntu, in a GUI... | 07:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | that's a good amount of RAm | 07:15 |
| ConfusedLinux | ... | 07:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | have you considered running the game in a virtual machine? | 07:15 |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: in linux? unless they are portable apps it most likely wont work due to registry entries | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: clarify what you mean... | 07:15 |
| lgp | hi | 07:15 |
| wildbat | ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B | 07:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | profxavier, what apps? | 07:15 |
| profxavier | i want to run firefox, but from putty | 07:15 |
| Colonel_Panic | putty? why? | 07:16 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: well A. i dont know how to get ubuntu into a virtual machine. B. ive heard it doesnt work. | 07:16 |
| profxavier | which runs off my Ubuntu station, which I have SSHed into | 07:16 |
| actionParsnip | Colonel_Panic: central point of execution, settings and profiles i one place | 07:16 |
| ConfusedLinux | ubuntu netbook ISO is almost downloaded from wubi | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: to see a 'linux' application ran remotely on the windows machine. You will nee d a X server on the window smachine such as 'xming' | 07:16 |
| lgp | Ihava problems getting gnash working like adobe flashplayer in Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: so short answer "install xming' on windows | 07:16 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLinux: you run a virtualization package like VirtualBox, and install Windows into that | 07:16 |
| ruari | profxavier : try lynx, browser for terminal | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | it will display your Windows desktop in a window | 07:17 |
| actionParsnip | profxavier: if you connect with x formwarding enabled in putty, you can launch firefox in the putty session and it will appear on the windows screen (assuming you have an x server like xming running) | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | and you casn install and run any Windows apps you like | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | for all intents and purposes, it will be just like running Windows | 07:17 |
| actionParsnip | lgp: why not use the flashplugin-nonfree package ? | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | but... on top of Lkinux | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | Linux | 07:17 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: you mean install ubuntu in it? I like windows better. also what would that solve? | 07:17 |
| ConfusedLinux | starcraft would still freeze... | 07:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | you.re currently running Linux, correct? | 07:18 |
| ConfusedLinux | no | 07:18 |
| ConfusedLinux | i just reinstalled it | 07:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | what is it you want to do, exactly? | 07:18 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux: have you tried both versions of wine? | 07:18 |
| ConfusedLinux | no | 07:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | plasy Starcraft from within Lmux? | 07:18 |
| ConfusedLinux | it doesnt work | 07:19 |
| actionParsnip | ConfusedLinux: uninstall wine and then install wine1.2 | 07:19 |
| Colonel_Panic | you want to play Starcraft within Linux? | 07:19 |
| ConfusedLinux | yes | 07:19 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK | 07:19 |
| ConfusedLinux | thats the only reason i want linux | 07:19 |
| lgp | It doesnt work for me......I can get the controlpanes to work. | 07:19 |
| Colonel_Panic | 1. install VirtualBox | 07:19 |
| ConfusedLinux | it doesnt work on windows 7, just so you know | 07:19 |
| Pitel | Colonel_Panic: better use wine | 07:19 |
| wildbat | !wine | ConfusedLinux | 07:20 |
| ubottu | ConfusedLinux: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 07:20 |
| Colonel_Panic | 2. Open Virtualbox and Install Windows onto the virtual machine | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | it wont work panic | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | thats why im getting linux | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | to make it run IN linux | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | not in a fake w7 | 07:20 |
| Colonel_Panic | 3. Install Starcraft on your Windows installation in virtualization | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | ... | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | or you could just ignore me | 07:20 |
| Colonel_Panic | 4. Play Starcraft | 07:20 |
| Adem | whats the point of emerald themer? it doesnt let you change themes via it does it? | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | 5. have the game freeze after 3 minutes | 07:20 |
| ConfusedLinux | you forgot that one | 07:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | You've tried it? | 07:21 |
| ConfusedLinux | yes | 07:21 |
| ConfusedLinux | on the actual w7 | 07:21 |
| zryan | hi all | 07:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | oh sorry | 07:21 |
| profxavier | firefox was an example of an application that runs in a GUI, that can be run from a call, from within putty | 07:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | I didn't see where you mentioned that | 07:21 |
| profxavier | just an example | 07:21 |
| ConfusedLinux | k | 07:21 |
| XP1 | anyone remember my problem with the freezing after install? | 07:21 |
| Colonel_Panic | maybe I casme in after you mentioned that | 07:21 |
| profxavier | i realize I can install FF for Windows | 07:21 |
| XP1 | on my win98-era computer | 07:21 |
| ConfusedLinux | it runs fine on Windows 98, XP, vista, but not Windows 7 or ubuntu | 07:22 |
| ConfusedLinux | so thats why I wanted to get linux, to see if it would work there | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: I use 'xming' to 'ssh' to my linux box's from my windows machines and run linux apps on the local windows desktop. that way i can haev a gnome-terminal, or gedit, or other apps appear here.. while they are actually running on the box in the basement. :) | 07:22 |
| ConfusedLinux | and in wine and playonlinux, it said there was no CD in | 07:22 |
| ConfusedLinux | so i used terminal to start it | 07:23 |
| ConfusedLinux | and it worked | 07:23 |
| ConfusedLinux | but then kicked me out of ubuntu after a few minutes | 07:23 |
| ConfusedLinux | and said that it wasnt installed, when i was playing it... | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: ubuntu totally crashed? or the game crashed? or the Desjktop crashed back to GDM? | 07:23 |
| vadi01 | guys how to i add myself to the to the user group vboxusers using the graphical add users program? i can see my user name in gui but how? | 07:23 |
| vadi01 | using lucid | 07:23 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: it went back to the login screen | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: so 'X' crashed then basically. | 07:24 |
| Colonel_Panic | profxavier: www.andlinux.org | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: and whats your video card? | 07:24 |
| Adem | whats the point of emerald themer? it doesnt let you change themes via it does it? | 07:24 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: not too sure. i know everything else though | 07:24 |
| Colonel_Panic | actionParsnip: were you replying to my wifi question? | 07:25 |
| delinquentme | soo ubuntu came prepackaged w this great little app called tomboy notes ... and i went to use the spell correct on it ... and it crashed ...... now it wont start back up | 07:26 |
| ruari | Dr Willis: xming looks mad cool, thanks for mentioning it | 07:26 |
| fpc | jjj | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: from what i just googled. starcraft in wine. cant work online/in battlenet. but should work with the latest wine. I dont even know where my old starcraft cd is at. | 07:26 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: those people have a different problem. I got onto battlenet fine. it still crashed. | 07:26 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLinux: Some Windows apps (especially games) do not work in Wine | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ruari: yep its handy. Its a little odd how the licensing/release schedule works. at least it used to be. If you wanted the latest you were expected to give a little $$ to the project. :) | 07:27 |
| wildbat | ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B | 07:27 |
| Colonel_Panic | especially newer games, I should have said | 07:27 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: there is youtube videos of people playing it online in wine in ubuntu | 07:27 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: are videos* | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: so that game worked, ran. but then X crashed.. thats the 'core' of the problem/ | 07:28 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: what is this "X"? | 07:28 |
| Colonel_Panic | did these videos give a link to a tutorial showing how to get it running? | 07:28 |
| wildbat | ConfusedLinux, wineisn't supported here ~ go to #winehq / http://winehq.org | 07:28 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: no, and if they did i guarantee it wouldnt work on my comp | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: X is the core of the Linux Desktop. | 07:29 |
| ConfusedLinux | wildbat: im hardly talking about wine. | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: the 'foundatiion' of the whole GUI system. | 07:29 |
| Colonel_Panic | ConfusedLinux, have you tried these tutorials? | 07:29 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: oh ok | 07:29 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: i said there arent any | 07:29 |
| Colonel_Panic | X Windows | 07:29 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: atleast that work. | 07:29 |
| Colonel_Panic | have you tried them? | 07:30 |
| ConfusedLinux | yes | 07:30 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: so would it be a problem with wine or ubuntu or my video card? | 07:30 |
| Colonel_Panic | you might want to consider installing a dual-boot with Windows and Linux | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: it sounds more a problem with the video card/X server/Desktop then it is a wine issue | 07:30 |
| ConfusedLinux | thats what i have... | 07:30 |
| aurilliance | When setting up my partitions, I accidentally told one drive to mount at /meda/sdfsdf rather than /media/sdfsdf how can I change this? | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Im suprised theres not some dozen+ pages on getting starcraft working in Win7 out there. | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: edit /etc/fstab | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | aurilliance: and make sure the proper directory exists in /media/ | 07:31 |
| Colonel_Panic | so why not just boot into Windows and run Starcraft under Windows instead of dicking around with Wine? | 07:31 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: okay, so there isnt any simple fix? | 07:31 |
| aurilliance | Dr_Willis, thanks | 07:31 |
| ConfusedLinux | how many times do i have to say it | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: want me to wave my magical wand? :) | 07:32 |
| ConfusedLinux | i tried on windows | 07:32 |
| ConfusedLinux | it freezes | 07:32 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: ? | 07:32 |
| Colonel_Panic | then there's some other issue at fault | 07:32 |
| ConfusedLinux | well wine also said "the game isnt installed" while i was playing it... | 07:32 |
| Colonel_Panic | if it freezes and crashes in both Windows or Linux, then there's obviousoly something else to blame | 07:32 |
| profxavier | hmm xming isnt working | 07:32 |
| profxavier | i setup X11 forwarding in my sshd_config | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: its a complex tool. check its docs/guides and logs | 07:33 |
| Adem | what radio plugins can I use on rhythmbox so i can broadcast? | 07:33 |
| profxavier | but I get "Error: Can't open display:" | 07:33 |

| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: or maybe windows 7 has that problem for EVERY 7 user, and linux/wine is just retarded? | 07:33 |
| ConfusedLinux | colonel_panic: and yes, the majority of 7 users have that problem | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: be sure you dont accidently run more then 1 x server. I also recall issues where if i ran the wizard to start an app more then once. it wouldent work properly sometimes. | 07:33 |
| Colonel_Panic | Linux is a fantastic OS for a lot of things | 07:33 |
| Guest98538 | ConfusedLinux, what problem | 07:34 |
| deb_df | Hi I just downloaded a program that works for windows only, I have wine installed, but for some reason when I double click to install the program, it gives me an error | 07:34 |
| Colonel_Panic | playing Windows games, not so much | 07:34 |
| ConfusedLinux | starcraft crashes X | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | http://gaming.icrontic.com/article/get-starcraft-working-on-windows-7-three-easy-steps/ | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 07:34 |
| ConfusedLinux | one sec | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | deb_df: What does the program do? | 07:34 |
| ConfusedLinux | i doubt i havent already read it | 07:34 |
| * Dr_Willis looks at his HUGE box of old old old windows games... | 07:34 | |
| Dr_Willis | and decides to not dig it out. | 07:34 |
| ConfusedLinux | willis those 3 steps dont fix anything | 07:35 |
| deb_df | jordan_u: its just a video editor | 07:35 |
| ConfusedLinux | supposedly the freezing is a problem with ddraw.dll | 07:35 |
| Colonel_Panic | doubt... you haven't...already read it... is that as triple or just a double-negatigve= | 07:35 |
| ConfusedLinux | learn to spell | 07:35 |
| Colonel_Panic | sounds like you're dooming yourself to failure before even trying | 07:35 |
| bazhang | ConfusedLinux, please calm down | 07:35 |
| Guest98538 | deb_df, what error | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: thats the extent of my research on the topic. so im basically done. | 07:35 |
| profxavier | what would I do to find out which displays are available, which are in use? | 07:35 |
| Colonel_Panic | what exactly do you expect from us? | 07:36 |
| deb_df | its says: "not marked as executable" | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | oopps wromng nick again. :) heh | 07:36 |
| * Dr_Willis enlarges his fonts again | 07:36 | |

| deb_df | jordan_u: its says: "not marked as executable" | 07:36 |
| Guest98538 | deb_df, ok mark as executable | 07:36 |
| Colonel_Panic | Is Starcraft even compatible with Windows 7? | 07:37 |
| deb_df | ha! | 07:37 |
| deb_df | it worked | 07:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | It's a pretty old game, isn't it? | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: it has 'issues' from what i juszt googled. | 07:38 |
| xangua | Colonel_Panic: this is ubuntu, not windows | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: 11 yrs old. | 07:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | xangua, thanks | 07:38 |
| ConfusedLinux | Also, the install.exe and setup.exe inside of the starcraft disk are marked as not executable, so wine cant open them | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: it also seems it had issues in wine. most of which have been fixed at this time. | 07:38 |
| ConfusedLinux | yeah, I fixed the color problem that most people have | 07:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | well if somebody's not even willing to try... | 07:38 |
| ConfusedLinux | ... | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: thats due to a quirk in the wine/launcher.. which is a very annoying bug. | 07:38 |
| bazhang | ConfusedLinux, check the appdb and /join #winehq for specific game help | 07:38 |
| bazhang | !appdb | ConfusedLinux | 07:39 |
| ubottu | ConfusedLinux: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 07:39 |
| ConfusedLinux | you dont understand how much i tried before coming to irc | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: so you basically use wine via command line to launch the exe's | 07:39 |
| IdleOne | Colonel_Panic: for windows support please join ##windows | 07:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | Haha I don't need Windows support! I don't even run Windows! | 07:39 |
| bazhang | Colonel_Panic, lets get back on topic then | 07:39 |
| ConfusedLinux | bazhang: I already checked the db | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: if Wine is crashing X so badly its going back to the GDM login. well thats the problem to check into. | 07:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK howabout my wifi driver issue? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | ConfusedLinux, then /join #winehq | 07:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | is it possible to have my wifi adapter renamed to wlan0 instead of eth1? | 07:40 |
| mneptok | ConfusedLinux: this "Starcraft won't work" issue is now best moved to #winehq. the problem is WINE, not Ubuntu per se. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Colonel_Panic: i think its possible.. but i dont recall how. :) | 07:41 |
| aurilliance | >insert pun about a certain user being confused< | 07:41 |
| ConfusedLinux | mneptok: how can you be sure that the problem is wine? | 07:41 |
| mneptok | ConfusedLinux: well, i'm not entirely. the problem could be that you don't have the lsightest idea what you're doing. but i'm trying to be nice. | 07:42 |
| ConfusedLinux | mneptok: thats true. linux is really confusing. | 07:42 |
| mneptok | ConfusedLinux: only to new users. | 07:42 |
| * Dr_Willis finds windows confuseing. | 07:42 | |
| ConfusedLinux | we are opposites | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | but we dont want to start that OT again. | 07:43 |
| Colonel_Panic | Windows 7 was *NOT* MY idea | 07:43 |
| mneptok | ConfusedLinux: in any event, your Starcraft issue is not going to get fixed here. i siggest asking in #winehq. | 07:43 |
| * Dr_Willis has now spent more time researching Starcraft, then he has actually ever PLAYING the game. | 07:43 | |
| mneptok | *suggest | 07:43 |
| ConfusedLinux | mneptok: i've got more help here than there. nobody has said anything. | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: now if you have several windows games that cause wine to crash so badly it goes back to GDM. well that may be a Driver issue/video issue. or some deeper linux issue.. | 07:44 |
| Colonel_Panic | might I recommend World of Goo? That's an excellent game that runs great in Linux | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ConfusedLinux: there are also updated versions of wine at the winehq web site that may work | 07:44 |
| mneptok | ConfusedLinux: that's not a salient point. the discussion *belongs* in #winehq. | 07:44 |
| ruari | colonel_panic: do a cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 07:44 |

| deb_df | is there anyway to install an old ati card onto ubuntu 10.04?. | 07:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | thanks, ruari | 07:45 |
| deb_df | I do have the driver its a .run file | 07:45 |
| bazhang | !ot > Guest98538 | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Guest98538, please see my private message | 07:45 |
| ConfusedLinux | dr_willis: i'll go try downloading a newer version or going to the terminal to start the setup.exe before mneptok has a baby | 07:45 |
| ruari | then vi or gedit | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | deb_df: an old ati card proberly uses the opensource drivers.. and wont work with the newer ati drivers. | 07:45 |

| Dr_Willis | thalib: the jdownloader homepage. if you want to know its features. | 08:06 |

| Dr_Willis | mek8630: there are kernel PPA repos out for newer kernel vbersions.. but use with caution | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mek8630: you'll need the debs for the kernel, the modules and the headers | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mek8630: unless you mean you want some Other older versions.. | 08:11 |
| thalib | i have installed both .34 and .35 kernels | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mek8630: i'd say very caution. Some are very experimental | 08:11 |
| thalib | so far no problems | 08:11 |
| mek8630 | Dr_Willis: yeah I am wanting to use karmic kernel | 08:12 |
| thalib | whats that | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | thalib: why are you using the 35 kernel? | 08:12 |
| mek8630 | ActionParsnip: I am wanting to use an older version | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mek8630: same applys, you may find some stuff in your release needs certain stuff in the kernel which may be lacking in older versions | 08:13 |
| thalib | i just installed becuase i have problem loading my tuner... on the way i fouind it support .34 so installed .35 also when i found it | 08:13 |

| delinquentme | ActionParsnip, comments? checks out? | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | delinquentme: I've not used gem | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | mek8630: what chipset? somthing seems faulty with the logic of that statement. | 08:15 |
| mek8630 | ActionParsnip: I understand this is the Ubuntu chat, but I am asking about kernels | 08:15 |
| delinquentme | its for RoR .. that parts good .. does the rest look ok? | 08:15 |
| delinquentme | im a bit scared im gonna break my new install haha | 08:15 |

| qwiksilver711 | how do i run something in terminal, i know i need to be in the directory, what command runs? | 08:17 |

| mek8630 | ActionParsnip: I am using Xubuntu right now in this channel but really please don't talking to me, I don't really need your input | 08:18 |

| mek8630 | Dr_Willis: its ok I am just trying to find someone that knows about kernels. | 08:21 |
| Joshmuffin | !details | delinquentme | 08:21 |
| ubottu | delinquentme: 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 ..." | 08:21 |
| mek8630 | Dr_Willis: I have read a few help forums on this and they are just confusing | 08:21 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: I also have a problem where the taskbar thing at the top disappears after awhile, do you know how to fix it? | 08:22 |
| Guest73275 | I'm fairly new to linux I was just wondering, Right now then I'm using Ubuntu, if I wanted to install a package from a Red Hat Distro. then would I just open up a command line and go to the directory and use the commands ./configure & make to install the package | 08:22 |
| delinquentme | im tuning up my ruby on rails ... testing things out with git and rspec | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: sounds like lots of things are crashing on you that shouldent be. | 08:22 |
| delinquentme | i ran "git checkout ." ( which should bring all my files back to the last commit ) | 08:22 |
| Noobuntu | Dr_Willis: google time for me. | 08:22 |
| delinquentme | HOWEVER ... i run "spec spec/" and i get the following | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: its hard to trouble shoot such problems. On a new clean install, you proberly want to update and upgrade everything to the latest versions and see if they are still crashing. | 08:23 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: ok | 08:23 |
| delinquentme | i was EXPECTING .. to get 6 examples 0 errors ... and i got 6 examples .. 6 errors | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: that will proberly be the first suggestion anyone will give you :) | 08:23 |
| ruari | Guest73275: if it is in an RPM package you could use alien | 08:23 |
| delinquentme | and im asking in #rubyonrails as well .. and no bites | 08:24 |
| Guest73275 | I installed alien and still learning how to use it, is alien a command line driven program | 08:24 |
| === Guest73275 is now known as S1564 | ||
| Dr_Willis | Guest73275: yes | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !alien | 08:25 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 08:25 |
| delinquentme | now whats more worry some is in the output http://pastie.org/1020571 there are errors in files i havn't even TOUCHED | 08:26 |
| ruari | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto | 08:26 |
| ruari | have you checked ubuntu's repositories for the program? | 08:27 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: what other problems are you having besides your top panel disappearing? | 08:27 |
| S1564 | Alright ya thats what i'm still kinda learning, so since I'm using ubuntu then I should just try to find the package thats meant for my distro. and if not find a similar program | 08:27 |
| S1564 | alright thanks ruari I'll look at the site | 08:27 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: the reason I ask is because I had that problem with Xubuntu and there is a help forum that tells you how to fix it | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | S1564: what are you trying to install anyway? | 08:28 |
| ruari | yea especially if it is a production system | 08:28 |

| S1564 | I've tried looking up programs like Ktorrent, and virtual box from google and It gave me a downloaded version of .rpm | 08:28 |
| S1564 | still kinda a newbie | 08:29 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: I know everyone in here will get mad at me for saying this...BUT switch to Linux Mint 9 man and all your problems will go away | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | S1564: you need to learn to use teh ubuntu package manager.. those are all avilable with out messing with rpms | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | S1564 | 08:29 |
| ubottu | S1564: 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/ | 08:29 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: everything works right after install you dont have to unlock any abilities or anything | 08:29 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: all media and everything will work, I use Wine on Mint 9 and it works fine | 08:29 |
| ruari | s1564 : sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 08:30 |
| Noobuntu | mek8630: But what is the simplest way to dual boot Windows 7 and Mint 9? I used Wubi to do it with Ubuntu and it was easy | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | mek8630: that logic dosent follow in all cases. if he is having a driver bug/issue - mint uses the same driver versions... | 08:30 |
| Noobuntu | what if it isnt a driver issue... | 08:30 |
| S1564 | Alright Thanks, i'll go through and kinda read over everything and learn more about | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even want to get into 'wubi' issues. :) | 08:30 |
| Noobuntu | :) | 08:31 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: well I figure you can just install the same way you did Ubuntu | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | S1564: thing to rember. uSe the package manager first... this is not windows.. going to a web site and downloading stuff to install is only in special cases in linux | 08:31 |
| mek8630 | Dr_Willis: I have tons of problems with Ubuntu and Xubuntu working with different things. | 08:31 |
| mek8630 | Dr_Willis: MInt 9 has always worked for me | 08:31 |
| Noobuntu | mek8630: Wubi gives no option to install Linux Mint 9 | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: did you ever figure out your video chipset. | 08:31 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: do you have a cd burner? | 08:32 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: didn't check, I got on ubuntu and got chatzilla | 08:32 |
| S1564 | alright, also as far as the repository goes then what is that exactly, is just websites that tells the manager where to look for programs | 08:32 |
| Noobuntu | mek8630: yeah, cant I use a flash drive/usb though? | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: that is a #1 critical bit of info on any troubleshooting. | 08:32 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: there is a way but I don't know how, I always use cd installation | 08:32 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: how do i find out from ubuntu then? | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | S1564: no its a server with files.. not a 'web site' | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: lspci commahd should tell you the 'hardinfo' program may also tell you in a nicer gui | 08:33 |
| Noobuntu | just type lspci in terminal? | 08:33 |
| ruari | s1564: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: yes.. thats a common linux 'thing' | 08:33 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: I have all kinds of problems with different programs working and drivers working with Ubuntu and Xubuntu, I switched to Linux Mint 9 to try and see if I liked it and now I LOVE it. I still use the others on a couple computers but I will be sticking with Mint from now on | 08:33 |
| Noobuntu | mek8630: I want to try but don't want to mess anything on my windows 7 up. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: -> sudo apt-get install hardinfo , then run 'hardinfo' is a nice gui tool for a lot of system info | 08:35 |
| mek8630 | Noobuntu: I know what you mean, the only way I could help you out with is the cd installation. I could walk you right through it. But if you are wanting to use usb then you will have to read forums and stuff to get help | 08:35 |
| S1564 | alright Thanks ruari for the website | 08:35 |
| Colonel_panic | I still don't get it... where am I supposed to uncomment the line "devfs=mount"? | 08:35 |

| Noobuntu | dr_willis: 4gb ram, intel 2.11 dual core processor | 08:50 |

| Dr_Willis | jerry_: you get up to get a soda.. you can set the screensaver to lock automatically after 30 sec.. so you have to reenter your passwprd when you come back.. that keeps the kids off also. | 08:52 |
| jerry_ | yes taht is exactly what i want to do.....it is quiet crazy to lock screen orr use it xtrlock everytime i will go toilet dont you thing ;-) | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Noobuntu: not really. the intel video drivers are constantly being worked on. so its possible you are having some video card driver issues. YOu may want to check the ubuntu forums for intel video 4 also. | 08:53 |

| ActionParsnip | cloversg: you could remove the driver then reinstall it | 08:59 |
| cloversg | I used to be able | 08:59 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, did that already | 08:59 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, any way of setting the monitor resolution, trying it with xrandr | 09:00 |
| Avasz | and i have already followed the first method that the bot gave me... it didnt work. | 09:00 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, any prog to detect monitor settings? | 09:01 |
| Avasz | ActionParsnip, and I hav a spare router too.. i want to send the wifi to that router first... | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cloversg: you could go old school and formulate an xorg.conf file | 09:01 |
| goshawk | cloversg, grand | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Avasz: how do you mean send the wifi to that first? | 09:02 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, tried that too, changing xserver-xorg no effect | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | cloversg: you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:02 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, I'm now stuck with a resolution one down. i remember I could detect my monitor from the menus, also there was a prog that did it | 09:02 |
| Avasz | ActionParsnip, i mean.. i capture wifi of my college thru the laptop with wifi.. and i want to share the wifi to the router thru ethernet cable first.. | 09:03 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, yep, tried that and restarted gdm | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Avasz: that will depend on the router itself. Some can't do that. I know some linksys ones can | 09:03 |
| anthony_ | hi i have a problem how do you install php on ubuntu 10.04. can any one help me. | 09:04 |
| Avasz | ActionParsnip, its dlink one... so we may not be sure that it can do that? | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !lamp | anthony_ | 09:04 |
| ubottu | anthony_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 09:04 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, yep, tried that and forced the res, but noting happend | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Avasz: there are special firmwares you can use to make the router act as a wireless bridge | 09:05 |
| wildbat | ubuntu don't give the option to suspend/sleep(it got hibernates thou) in the shutdown menu~ what should i do to enable it? 10.04, E6600, ASUS P5B | 09:05 |

| ActionParsnip | Carsten^: in system -> admin -> software sources | 09:05 |
| szonek | hi | 09:06 |
| Wolverine1 | I found X within my Filesystem but I cant modify it, as its running | 09:06 |
| Carsten^ | ok sorry I should have specified.. I need to do this via command line.. no gui available. | 09:06 |
| anthony_ | i already install lamp but when i try to display php on firefox it download it. it does not display it. can any one help me.. | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Avasz: then no, you will need a wired link to your router to share, or put 2 wireless interfaces in your pc and then you can do it that way | 09:06 |
| szonek | i have a problem installing 10.04 on fakeraid, i know this bug was fixed lately (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050), is there any ISO that integrates this fix? | 09:07 |

| Dr_Willis | neptune: there are little bugs everywhere in every os ive ever used. | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | since my Vic-20 on up.. | 09:10 |

| szonek | i have a problem installing 10.04 on fakeraid, i know this bug was fixed lately (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050), is there any ISO that integrates this fix? | 09:10 |
| anthony_ | i rely need help can any one help me i have a php problem. i already install lamp but still i can't display php on firefox. can any one help me. i rely need help so badly.. | 09:10 |
| Wolverine1 | I use to use vector linux where everytime, my pc would turn on then it would go to a command line user interface, I recently went to Ubuntu 8.10, so mainly just would like that to be back to how it use to be | 09:11 |
| raven | how to create a symlink to a smb directory? | 09:11 |
| Wolverine1 | Dr willis as far as disabling the gdm service how about do you, do that | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | anthony_: I've heard this. There's a package you need but my web access is dog slow | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !sysv | Wolverine1 | 09:12 |
| xibalba | hey guys, do you know if it is possible to run X windows applications on your windows box via your server in a data center over ssh ? | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | szonek: the daily iso may do | 09:12 |
| xibalba | say gkrellm or msfgui for example? | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: check out the Sysv init system. I forget how you disable it in 8.10 - that is Old :) and ive not used it in years. | 09:12 |
| robotchickenparm | hi,,, i set up a dual boot with windows xop and ubuntu lucid, but my only connection to the internet is through my Dlink DWL G132 wireless network adapterm so i cant even go online in linux to download the files.. could someone please tell me how to access files i have downloaded from windows while in ubunru? | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | xibalba: with xming, you can sit on a windows mahcine.. ssh to a linux box.. and run a linux app and have it appear on the local windows machine. | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: mount the ntfs partition. The kernel can do this natively | 09:13 |
| Wolverine1 | so just run man sysv init system and look it up | 09:13 |
| anthony_ | ActionParsnip: what kind of a package i need to install to display php. | 09:13 |
| raven | how to create a symlink to a smb directory? | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: theres a service file in /etc/rc2.d i THINK that controlls gdm starting at boot.. but thats about all i rember | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see the product line identifying the wireless chip. The make and model of the device is fairly moot | 09:14 |
| robotchickenparm | ActionParsnip: could you tell me how to do that? ive never run a dual boot before the last hour | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: you dont link to somthing thats smb://server/share ..but You could mount the smb share via fstab to a set location, and link to that. | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | anthony_: its an extra package from the repo to make it display rather than download | 09:14 |
| Wolverine1 | ok, I tried using Ubuntu 10 or 9.04 but found that my sound stopped working after a bit so went a little older | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: run: sudo fdisk -l | 09:14 |
| szonek | ActionParsnip: only Daily Build i can find is for 10.10 | 09:14 |
| Wolverine1 | do you know if they fixed that bug in the newer versionz | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: also if you are browsing the share with nautilus it may have a mountpoint set in the users .gvfs directory soemwhere | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: given how vague the data you just gave is.. no one has any idea. :) | 09:15 |
| robotchickenparm | so when in windows should i move the file from myc:\ documents and setings/downloads to the c folder or somthing? | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: get a 10.04 live cd and test it out | 09:15 |
| anthony_ | ActionParsnip: yes i know that it is a package but what is the name of that package. | 09:15 |
| robotchickenparm | or do i not need to do that at all | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: it will list the partitions. You can then run: sudo mkdir /media/win; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win -o uid=1000,user | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | anthony_: like I said. I can't find it and my web is too slow. Didn't you read? | 09:16 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, Solution found using xrandr | 09:16 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on smb://192.168 | 09:16 |
| Avasz | so.. if the router supports then how to share the internet? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: replace sda1 with YOUR partition name | 09:16 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, the link I followed is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474910 | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: you need to use proper ooptions when mounting a samba share. | 09:16 |
| Carsten^ | Second try: I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list | 09:16 |
| robotchickenparm | kk.. thanks... im gonna go try everything u just told me, and hopefully the next time i am in this room i will be using ubuntu! but if not can i come back for more help? | 09:16 |
| anthony_ | ok. so i need to search it on the web. | 09:16 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, which options? | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: the use of 'smb://' is ONLY used by the gnome file manager and some otehr gnome apps. | 09:16 |

| Wolverine1 | I tested it out and installed it once, & I found that after a couple of weeks of having Ubunt 10 install I found that my sound quit working | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cloversg: wtg =D personally I only buy nvidia as their support has been phenominal since I've used linux | 09:17 |
| Wolverine1 | just wondered if that was fixed | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: theres kernel and otehr updates every week or so. so its possible it was fixed.. | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Szonek: you could make a custom iso using remastersys and apply the fix etc | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | works -> updates -> breaks -> more updates -> fixed it.. (is common) | 09:18 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, only possible to mount with fstab? no way to mount manually with "mount"? | 09:18 |
| cloversg | ActionParsnip, had problems with nvidia on my old board, this is a new one using the AMD HexCore with ATI Rad 4250, no problems with the drivers and progs (unlike nVidia) | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: fstab and mount do the same things.. use mount if you want. | 09:19 |
| cloversg | it was the monitor resolutions that was killing me | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !info smbfs | raven | 09:19 |
| ubottu | raven: smbfs (source: samba): Samba file system utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 1812 kB, installed size 5288 kB | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: install that first and use smbmount if you want | 09:19 |
| Wolverine1 | its cool I give it another try, but as far as ubuntu 10.4 goes then would you know how to disable X or is it pretty much the same as you described early | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: disable the gdm service. or use the new 'text' option to the kernel/grub | 09:20 |
| alkisg | iptraf => "this program requires to be run by an administrator" | 09:20 |
| alkisg | sudo chmod +s /usr/sbin/iptraf | 09:20 |
| alkisg | iptraf => "this program requires to be run by an administrator". Just wondering, shouldn't that sudo +s make it run as root? | 09:20 |
| Sarmad | Hi anybody there for a little help. I have a very general question | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolverine1: in 10.04 its /etc/init/gdm.conf you rename to disable gdm | 09:20 |
| robotchickenparm | sudo lshw -c network? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | Sarmad | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Sarmad: 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. :-) | 09:20 |
| wise_crypt | alkisg: sudo iptraf ? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: the c is capitalised | 09:20 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: shouldn't setting the suid bit make sudo not needed? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: linux is VERY case sensitive | 09:21 |
| robotchickenparm | and also, whayt will sudo fdisk -1 do? | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Instead of Slightly Case Sensitive? :) | 09:21 |
| robotchickenparm | lol | 09:21 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, ok tnx | 09:21 |
| robotchickenparm | thatnks for all the help guys... | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | robotchickenparm: its an L for list to list partitions, like I said | 09:21 |
| wise_crypt | alkisg: i dont want to show you how its bit dangerous | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | robotchickenparm | 09:21 |
| ubottu | robotchickenparm: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 09:21 |
| robotchickenparm | this is a great community.... way better than microsoft and dell where your warentyu runs out and you are just S.O.L | 09:21 |
| xibalba | bitchin i found cyhwin had x11 server for win32 | 09:22 |
| slide | Where can I find out how to create a new ext4 partition on a blank/new harddrive via command line? | 09:22 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: I'm trying to understand the suid bit better, don't worry, i know about the security implications. I just can't get it to work as advertised. | 09:22 |
| * xibalba very excited | 09:22 | |
| Dr_Willis | xibalba: i found 'xming' worked better for me then cygwin | 09:22 |
| xibalba | website? | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | xibalba: do i look like google? :) | 09:22 |
| xibalba | =P | 09:22 |
| Carsten^ | third try: I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list | 09:22 |
| wise_crypt | alkisg: sorry just try googling about sudoers thing that all i can give you | 09:22 |
| xibalba | was cygwin's buggy or just slow? | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | xming is a X server for windows.. cygwin is much 'more' | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cygwin was buggy/slow and last i checked.. not updated in a LONG time | 09:23 |
| Wolverine1 | Thanks Dr. | 09:23 |
| Sarmad | Question: I used to request free CDs and distribute them mostly to computer professional who haven't tried Ubuntu before. Now I can see "becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs". Kindly tell me how I can contribute and how eligibility process works? | 09:23 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: I've done it with sudo visudo, I just wanted to learn about the suid bit, i.e. why chmod +s isn't doing what I think it should be doing. Thanks though. | 09:23 |
| xibalba | yeah. i just want an x11 win32 serv, this looks gret. | 09:23 |
| xibalba | great | 09:23 |
| cloversg | thanks people | 09:23 |
| wise_crypt | alkisg: :| | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | xming has a nice little wizard where you enter the info and it can make a 'xterm' or whtever icon on your windows desktop to launch a terminal on the linux box :) | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | You can even set it up where putty works with it. | 09:24 |
| xibalba | does it do the port forwarding or do i need to have putty running? | 09:24 |
| slide | How do I create a new ext4 partition on a new empty harddrive? | 09:24 |
| robotchickenparm | o one more question b4 i leave... would it be unwise to load the full gnome ubuntu for my xbox? because i lkle gnome waay better than xfce and kde | 09:24 |
| Dr_Willis | xming has its own mini putty it can use.. or you can use your other putty also | 09:24 |
| xibalba | bitchin this looks sweet, many thanks. | 09:24 |
| Slart | slide: use gparted.. it's got a nice gui where you can just click on hard drives and stuff | 09:24 |
| Sarmad | Can somebody please reply to my posted query above? | 09:25 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: maybe it's setting the effective uid, but not the real uid, and iptraf checks for the real uid (so it would work if iptraf was checking for the effective uid instead). | 09:25 |
| slide | Slart, this is on a server install | 09:25 |
| wise_crypt | alkisg: i dont know bu my iptraf works just fine with sudo iptraf :| | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Sarmad: i would have to say check the ubuntu web site and forums. for that. or the #ubuntu-motu channel | 09:25 |
| Slart | slide: oh.. then there's parted, the non-gui variant of the same app | 09:25 |
| slide | ah thanks | 09:26 |
| ohir | Sarmad: don't know how it looks now, but some time ago eglibility was measured in events | 09:26 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: Thanks - the point was not to use sudo. | 09:26 |
| Avasz | well.. the !ics didnt work.. | 09:27 |
| Slart | !ics | 09:27 |

| wise_crypt | alkisg as i point you it on your sudoers file just google more thats it | 09:27 |
| ohir | Sarmad: if you are active in your LUG, if you can show you are known to local community it worked | 09:27 |
| hugli | how can I reuse my 'home' partition with fresh 10.4 install? | 09:27 |
| alkisg | wise_crypt: I don't need to google for the sudoers file as I said I already done it this way... It's the suid bit that's puzzling me. OK, I think we both know now what the other is saying. Thanks again. | 09:28 |
| Sarmad | ohir: actually the only way I have so to speak "contributed" is to use ubuntu as much as possible and tried to distribute it as much as possible which I feel is not enough to make me eligible right? | 09:28 |
| Avasz | i guess because i have one router in-betweet the two machines.. | 09:29 |
| airtonix | hugli, most reliable way to do that is to have planned ahead and made a separate partition for your home folders. | 09:30 |
| ryan__ | halp | 09:30 |
| Carsten^ | I need to remove a ppa via command line as there is no gui available. the program ppa-purge did not work for me, are there any other options, or files I can edit? There is no ppa's in sources.list | 09:30 |
| ryan__ | i want more multi touch features | 09:30 |
| airtonix | Carsten^, its a separate file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 09:31 |
| Carsten^ | thank you airtonix. | 09:31 |
| ryan__ | i can navigate forward and backward with 3 finger swipe in windows, can it work in linux? | 09:32 |
| airtonix | Carsten^, depending on what you installed you could just "apt-get remove" the package and remove the source.list file with System > Administration > Software Sources | 09:32 |
| Carsten^ | I need to totally remove them, broken repo's | 09:32 |
| airtonix | Carsten^, what did you install ? | 09:33 |
| _ath | To those with ati driver experience, please have a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518556 | 09:33 |
| Carsten^ | cherokee webserver but i stuffed it up when adding. | 09:33 |
| hugli | airtonix: that's where I am. I have my users on a separate partition. The question is how to use it when reinstalling ubuntu from scratch | 09:33 |
| airtonix | _ath, most people "get past" this problem by never buying ati cards ever again. | 09:34 |
| wise_cry1t | airtonix: or intel | 09:34 |
| airtonix | hugli, when reinstalling, use manual partitioning and simply reassign the relevant partition to /home without formatting it. | 09:34 |
| anthony__ | hi guys i have a problem how can you port C progamming to edit the source code. like tuxmath program. can any one help me. | 09:35 |
| airtonix | _ath, i guarantee you that will end up being the easiest and fastest option that produces the more reliable and desirable results. | 09:35 |
| choppa | hello, i've installed kubuntu on some toshiba laptop, but the wired network card has not been detected, what can i do? | 09:35 |
| ace_ | I have an ati card and am using the standard ubuntu driver for it. Does that mean I don't use all its capabilities? | 09:36 |
| airtonix | hugli, make sure you specify the filesystem type that it actually has too. | 09:36 |
| ace_ | choppa I think I saw support for wireless cards in Ubuntu software center once | 09:36 |
| iceroot | ace_: the opensource-driver cant handle 3d if i am correct | 09:36 |
| ace_ | hmm ok iceroot ty | 09:36 |
| benpro | Is there a way to reverse a rm -rf ? | 09:37 |
| hugli | airtonix: Will the installer sort UIDs and usernames for me? Or will I have to create all my users in exactly the same order as on the old system? | 09:37 |
| === vamshi is now known as pen | ||
| _ath | airtonix: i can imagine that being the case, but there must be some way. | 09:37 |
| airtonix | hugli, you still need to make the users again in the right order. so do something about backing up your user and passwords file for reference. | 09:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !undelete | benpro | 09:38 |

| ace_ | anybody know why when I compile gimp 2.6.9 on my 32 bit ubuntu it works but doesn't work when I compile it on my 64 bit ubuntu? | 09:40 |
| _ath | airtonix: still, i struggle to believe there isn't one person with my card who's got it working on *ubuntu 10.04 | 09:40 |
| ikonia | ace_: that's pretty open question | 09:40 |
| ikonia | ace_: do you mean it won't compile on 64bit, or it will compile, but won't run on 64bit | 09:40 |
| airtonix | _ath, thats not what i said. | 09:41 |
| ace_ | compiles but doesn't run on 64 bit | 09:41 |
| ikonia | ace_: what happens when you try to run it | 09:41 |
| ace_ | I am having trouble exporting the library path for its shared libraries | 09:41 |
| ikonia | ace_: what happens when you try to run it | 09:41 |
| hugli | airtonix: thank you. Where is users and passwords file in ubuntu 9.09? | 09:41 |
| _ath | hugli: /etc/passwd ? | 09:41 |
| ace_ | when I try to run it from terminal it says it can't find one of the shared libraries | 09:41 |
| ikonia | hugli: /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow | 09:42 |
| ace_ | when I run it from the menu it just hangs then stops | 09:42 |
| ikonia | ace_: and which library and where is it looking | 09:42 |
| _ath | airtonix: what did i misunderstand? | 09:42 |
| iceroot | hugli: dont edit these files (if you dont know what your a doing) | 09:42 |
| delinquentme | im trying to figure out if this is telling me my ruby installation is corrupted: http://pastie.org/1020625 | 09:42 |
| ace_ | it is looking in /usr/local/lib and all the libraries are there | 09:42 |
| ace_ | looking for some gimpwidget librarie | 09:43 |
| ace_ | it is suppose to look in /usr/local/lib I mean | 09:43 |
| ikonia | ace_: where is it looking ? | 09:43 |
| hugli | _ath ikonia iceberg: thank you | 09:43 |
| airtonix | _ath, i did not say there was no-one. what i was pointing at was that you are better off subscribing to your forum post and watching it once a week. you wont fix this in a short time. | 09:43 |
| ace_ | it is just saying that the librarie is not found | 09:43 |
| ikonia | ace_: run ldd against it and see where it actually looking/expecting libraries | 09:44 |
| ace_ | ldd? | 09:44 |
| ace_ | sorry I'm new to linux | 09:44 |
| _ath | airtonix: trying some older driver versions now, we'll see. | 09:44 |
| ikonia | ace_: then why are you custom compiling software if you are new ? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | ace_: what's wrong with the versions in the repo ? | 09:44 |
| airtonix | _ath you find very few people with ati cards in linux who know exactly what to do because most people just stop using ati and use nvidia isntead. | 09:44 |
| ace_ | I'm not a new programmer and it is a good learning experience | 09:45 |
| ikonia | ace_: ok - so run ldd against gimp | 09:45 |
| _ath | airtonix: yeah it's been like that for a long time i remember. | 09:45 |
| _ath | airtonix: but i got all excited when ati started releasing proprietary drivers in tandem with ubuntu releases. | 09:45 |
| ace_ | version's in repo are a a bit behind | 09:45 |
| ikonia | ace_: what's in the new version of gimp that's not in the one in the repo ? | 09:45 |
| ace_ | ok I will research that ikonia and figure it out thanks | 09:45 |
| ace_ | nothing much just some bug fixes and the likes | 09:46 |
| guven | does asterisk support referring to outbound ? I mean referring through a proxy,is it possible or can i just refer to someone without going to proxy server | 09:46 |
| eor76 | hello everyone | 09:46 |
| ikonia | ace_: such as ? | 09:46 |
| airtonix | _ath, but not only do you need to find someone with ati experience, you need to find someone who knows your card... from my experience with the different models of ati cards they may as well be different brands . | 09:46 |
| ikonia | ace_: for you to go to the effort of all this, there must be something in the version you want/need other than a bigger version number and "it's the latest" | 09:46 |
| _ath | airtonix: true. | 09:46 |
| ace_ | sorry ikonia I didn't memorize the release notes but I could look it up for you | 09:46 |
| wise_cry1t | _ath: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 09:46 |
| ace_ | oh well I am trying to write a plugin for gimp and I figured compiling it was the best way to get the lay of the land | 09:47 |
| ace_ | I started on gimp on the windows side and it has led me to the wonderful world of unix | 09:48 |
| _ath | wise_cry1t: i know how to install / uninstall packages, thanks. | 09:48 |
| avi_ | wow | 09:48 |
| wise_cry1t | ace_: vbox it then | 09:49 |
| veonone | i dont have access to the /dev/sdX folders | 09:49 |
| wise_cry1t | _ath: just a sugestion | 09:49 |
| ace_ | so can i ask one more question? what does ldd stand for? | 09:49 |
| ace_ | i'm not up on all the linux jargon wise | 09:49 |
| ezech | hello, I need some easy to use foto browsing/edition software, simmilar to irfanview :) | 09:49 |

| ezech | google simply returns too many results, I need something you use and know it works | 09:50 |
| avi_ | GIMP, F-Spot | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ezech: use the package manager to search to see whats in the repos. | 09:51 |
| ace_ | I'll be back in a bit ... switching to another os to back it up will you join you there | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | fspot works.. irfanview can work in wine also. :) | 09:51 |
| ezech | what I want to do is browse pictures (obviously) and do some simple edits, like crop, change saturation/contrast, make greyscale | 09:51 |
| vu1kan | ezech sounds like f-spot would do ya | 09:51 |
| slide | I can't seem to get the correct syntax for my fstab to set this drive to force all files to nobody/nogroup ownership, "/dev/sdc1 /mnt/1.36TiB-03 ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro,uid=nobody,gid=nobody 0 0" whats wrong? | 09:51 |
| iceman_3233 | Failed to download repository information | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | slide: for starters uid and gid use a NUMBER not a 'name' | 09:52 |
| slide | Dr_Willis, i tried the number too, didnt work | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | slide: and for linux filesystems. You dont just 'override' the permissions/ownership with a mount option.. at least ive never seen it done that way | 09:52 |
| freddy_ | exit | 09:53 |
| freddy_ | us | 09:53 |
| slide | Dr_Willis, this is for a drive being shared over samba | 09:53 |
| wildbat | slide, you can just change the permission of the files with chmod, it is ext4 you are mounting | 09:54 |
| delinquentme | [Ynaqdh] is what | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | slide: samba shares have options you can set also to override the 'permissions/ownership' to some degree. but what you are doing via that fstab line. I dont think will work | 09:54 |
| delinquentme | theres a Yes and a now ... wtf are the others | 09:54 |
| slide | wildbat, yea but thats f'ing annoying....... any time i copy files locally to the shared folders i have to sudo chown the files.... | 09:54 |
| Dr_Willis | slide: you mean from windows to the share? or from linux to the shared mountpoint? | 09:55 |
| Leparradiss | server irc.epiknet.com | 09:55 |
| slide | from linux to the shared mountpoint via a local user, the file ends up with their permissions and then anyone accessing the share can't edit the files | 09:56 |
| ezech | f-spot looks nice, it depends on mono, and gtk-sharp - yuck :/ | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ezech: yep. one reason i dont like it. | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ezech: check package manager for other tools you may like. | 09:57 |

| foobazbar | is there a simple way to override the title for an auto-discovered boot entry? | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall fluxbox habing some Autostart dir/file.. but no idea on lubuntu/lxde | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | foobazbar: theres some forum theres/links in there that mention editing the /etc/grub.d/ file. thats what you ahve to change. | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | foobazbar: be sure to make backups. | 10:08 |
| wise_cry1t | airdem: make it a *,desktop file and place it at your ~/.lxde/autostart folder (sorry i forget the exact path) | 10:08 |
| foobazbar | as far as I can see, I'd have to remove os_prober altogether and replace it with multiple hard-coded entries. | 10:08 |

| Dr_Willis | There is Grub and 'Grub2' now :) | 10:11 |
| erdem_rt | hi | 10:11 |
| ace_ | but when I looked at ubuntu bootloader it seemed quiete different | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | old grub is now known as 'grub-legacy' i recall | 10:11 |
| ace_ | yea must be grub2 | 10:11 |
| foobazbar | there's a link there that shows what to change in the script, thanks. glad to see other people agree that it's a pain :) | 10:11 |

| erdem_rt | i install ndiswrapper and then i unistalled it :) now i wanna use my opensource wireless driver again. how could i ? | 10:11 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: its not if you use startupmanager | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: it works fine for most people i imagine | 10:12 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis oh alright, just wondered if it wasn't still in alpha or something | 10:12 |
| stefg | Hi, i managed to set up booting a lucid live CD over the network (PXE/tftp). The only problem remaining is telling the bootloader (pxelinux/syslinux, NOT grub2) i want the live CD booted in german (and german keyboard). Since the live CD booting process changed completly in Lucid i am unable to find info on that by google. Can anyone shed some light on this? | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: err.. its been released now for some time. | 10:12 |

| Dr_Willis | vodl: 10.10 is in the alpha stages. | 10:13 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis sorru, haven't been up-to-date :) | 10:13 |
| bboy | which player are you using ?? | 10:13 |
| foobazbar | wise_cry1t I sintalled startup manager and it won't let you change the name of discovered entries. | 10:13 |
| airdem | are there any .desktop skels? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bboy: be more clear. | 10:13 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis thanks for the insight, going to try and do an update from 8.04 and see how much that messes up my desktop :P | 10:14 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: sudo startup manager | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | airdem: you can use most any .desktop file as an example. | 10:14 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: sudo startupmanager | 10:14 |
| Avasz | how to bridge ethernet & wifi? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: i always do clean installs. :) just makes it easier. | 10:14 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: it can in here http://a3snet.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/screenshot.png | 10:14 |
| bboy | i mean which media player ,are you using ? | 10:14 |
| foobazbar | wise_cry1t I sintalled *and used* startup manager and it won't let you change the name of discovered entries. | 10:14 |
| bboy | totem or mplayer? | 10:14 |
| ace_ | What's the best way to make a startup CD disk for Ubuntu? It seems to want to use a flash drive. | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | bboy: or vlc, or xbmc, or moovidia, or enna, or boxxee... :) it depends on your needs. | 10:15 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: the entries should have been if it detected by update-grub | 10:15 |
| vu1kan | bboy i prefer vlc player, myself. compatable with almost every codec out there | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ace_: the startup-disk-creator is designed to use a flash drive. | 10:15 |
| bboy | thanks | 10:15 |
| bboy | !! | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ace_: it gerenates a live-cd on a flash drive setup. | 10:15 |
| foobazbar | they are listed | 10:16 |
| ace_ | seems like a waste of a flash drive but ok | 10:16 |
| foobazbar | but you can't change what they are called | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ace_: I never burn to cd's i always use flash drives to install from. they are much faster. | 10:16 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: just change the default operating system then | 10:16 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis can you please point me to how to boot 10.4 from a usb stick? | 10:16 |
| ace_ | I like to keep them on file... but then I used to use tapes way back then | 10:16 |
| vu1kan | foobazbar i think step # 6 in that guide i posted will tell you how to do that | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: get iso file.. run the usb-disk-creator tool.. make a flash drive.. plug it in.. reboot machine.. tell it to boot from flash drive.. | 10:17 |
| ace_ | ok | 10:17 |
| foobazbar | wise changing the default is NOT RELEVANT: is there a simple way to *override the title for an auto-discovered boot entry?* That is no | 10:17 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis thanks, is the usb-disk-creator in the repos? | 10:17 |
| ace_ | still seems like it could get expensive running 3 unixes | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: its installed by default | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: in the admin menu. Or use unetbootin | 10:17 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis arigato :) | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ace_: I got a 8gb flash drive setup to boot 10 different iso files. :) | 10:18 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis that's crazy :)) | 10:18 |
| * Dr_Willis found 2GB flash drives for under $5 last xmas | 10:18 | |
| ace_ | oh how do you know which iso to select? | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ace_: err.. i read the menu and pick the one i want.. how else? | 10:18 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: are you sure its listed in the grub entries ? | 10:18 |
| ace_ | ok doc | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | grub2 booting iso files = handy feature | 10:19 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: try to reboot if it there ? | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | I can even put an iso file in /boot/ and have a grub entry as a 'rescue' option | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | and bioot the iso from teh hd. | 10:19 |
| erdem_rt | i installed ndiswrapper and then i unistalled it :) now i wanna use my opensource wireless driver again. how could i ? ? | 10:19 |
| ace_ | take care all my gf want to play second life now | 10:20 |
| ace_ | see ya later | 10:20 |
| wise_cry1t | foobazbar: i have change tree kernel and changing the default entries using this method and it works just fine in my box | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis | startupmanager has limited features for grub2 configuration.. its has more features for 'grub1' | 10:21 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis can't find the tool on my system | 10:22 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: not really i change my default entries splash unsplash change the default resolutions and it work with my grub2 | 10:22 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis: perhaps not installed on 8.04? | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: last i checked it couldent change the names... | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: what tool are you even talkling about? I dont use 8.04 | 10:23 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis: usb disk creator | 10:23 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: not to that offcourse but changing the default works | 10:23 |
| === bboy is now known as lonekid | ||
| Dr_Willis | vodl: no idea. guess its not there. try unnetbootin | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | vodl: you may need to get it from the unetbootin homepage | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: ive had that tool also 'break' my grub configs. :) and had to fix them by hand | 10:25 |
| vodl | Dr_Willis thanks again :) | 10:25 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: it on repositry list i thing thats a save tool to use, but hey tools are just tools it depends on whom it works for , right ? :) | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: just because its in the repos dosent mean its 'safe' :) | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | it is in need of serious updateing. So does the computer-janitor tool | 10:27 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: you have to say that to the dev then :) | 10:27 |

| Dr_Willis | ntfs-3g for fun and profit | 11:03 |
| stefg | meowbuntu: so you have to edit /etc/fstab | 11:03 |
| blackbite | after logged out via gdm is no option for gnome session or Kde session | 11:03 |
| nixjr | all my data drives are ntfs, is there any advantage to changing them to ext4 or someting native to ubuntu? | 11:04 |
| stefg | meowbuntu: but ntfs for a shared data partition is somewhat problematic... (Linux can't do fsck'S on NTFS). I use an ext2 partition and the ext2 filesystem driver for Windows | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: do you ever intend to share them with a windows machine? | 11:05 |
| iflema | blackbite sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: or use them as samba shares? | 11:05 |
| blackbite | thank you | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | gdm reads its sessions from the various .desktop files.. its odd that it would lose those | 11:05 |
| nixjr | Dr_Willis, right now I only have ubuntu on this box, but im thinking about making a seperate file server that will need to work with both windows and linux clients | 11:06 |
| blacye | ? | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: with samba shares.. it will be easier to share linux filesystems I imagine. with ntfs. you will need to properly mount the ntfs shares ith the proper options. then share them | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: but you can 'share' a ntfs filesystem over samba if you wanted to. but you wont have as fine controll over the permissions/ownership | 11:08 |
| Christian_ | hi | 11:10 |
| Christian_ | how i can add user too root group ? | 11:10 |
| aeon-ltd | !hi | Christian_ | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Christian_: 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! | 11:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Christian_: you don't, just use sudo | 11:10 |
| Christian_ | but i want:) | 11:10 |
| Christian_ | can help me? | 11:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Christian_: why not just login as root?, its basically the same thing | 11:11 |
| meowbuntu | stefg this is ok but the ext2 or ext3 mounting partition is not guarnteed in windows | 11:11 |
| nixjr | Dr_Willis, so assuming i want everyone on the network to have full read/write access to everything, if the file system is compatable with samba, it makes little difference what i choose from the clients point of view? | 11:11 |
| Christian_ | i wanna have 2 root user | 11:11 |
| Christian_ | no sudo | 11:11 |
| Christian_ | root user:) ! | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | You want.. but you dont know how? :) i wonder why you want.. | 11:11 |
| Christian_ | i loose the command .. | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: yea. basically | 11:11 |
| stefg | meowbuntu: just wanted to make sure you know your options | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Christian_: you may want to clarify what it is exactly you are trying to do. | 11:12 |
| meowbuntu | stalso there is no real ned to fsck on an ntfs partition is there even if there is shared data like mp3, photos, documents all that | 11:12 |
| Christian_ | example i wanna add user | 11:12 |
| Christian_ | with root privilegies | 11:12 |
| nixjr | Dr_Willis, thanks, i want to plan this right before i build it, i need to google exactly what makes all these filesystems different | 11:12 |
| meowbuntu | thanks stefg | 11:12 |
| less | Christian_: what is wrong with sudo adduser? | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: that is one issue with ntfs however.. if the filesystems get curupted.. it can be hard to 'fix' them on a linux machine. the tools are niot as good (yet) as the ones on windows | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | lol | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | i dont want | 11:13 |
| meowbuntu | see my post ^ stefg | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | i just wanna enter to te shell | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | and use comands witouth sudo | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | sudo su | 11:13 |
| FloodBot2 | Christian_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: i would have to say.. for a linux fileserver. dont use ntfs.. unless you have to | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | ok | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Christian_: 'sudo -s' is the better way | 11:13 |
| Christian_ | mm well thanks | 11:13 |
| meowbuntu | stall i have ion that partition are music files, photos, documents etc | 11:14 |
| nixjr | Dr_Willis, there are dozens to choose from, striking ntfs off the list of choices shouldnt be much of an issue | 11:14 |
| meowbuntu | * stefg all ^ | 11:14 |
| Christian_ | look this useradd -u 0 -o -g 0 "nombre_de_usuario" | 11:15 |
| Christian_ | :) | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nixjr: ext4, or if you want to be 'cutting edge' theres the btrfs :) but that may be too risky at this time | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Christian_: so? | 11:15 |
| SkunkFoot | Where's a good place to discuss Ubuntu usability? | 11:16 |

| Christian_ | jaja | 11:16 |
| Christian_ | nothing | 11:16 |

| SkunkFoot | Well why does it say "Authentication Failure" when you get your password wrong? | 11:17 |
| rainaaa | supppp | 11:17 |
| SkunkFoot | That sounds a bit silly | 11:17 |
| aeon-ltd | SkunkFoot: because uhhhh you failed to authenticate? | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | what do you want it to say? "You Suxor!' ? | 11:17 |
| SkunkFoot | Why not give the user a piece of information that might be of some use ... such as "Your password was wrong" | 11:17 |
| SkunkFoot | Something humans might understand | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | SkunkFoot: you DONT tell the attacker that they got Just the password wrong.. or just the nick wrong.. its that simple | 11:17 |
| nixjr | Dr_Willis, i did a slackware build a long time ago and use rieserfs, although with my limited linux experiance, i really cant tell the difference between them | 11:17 |
| SkunkFoot | Windows will | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | one of the reasons people hate the 'pictures' on the gdm login screen also. | 11:18 |
| SkunkFoot | Or why not just say "You got your username or password wrong" | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | SkunkFoot: go file somtning on brainstorm then. | 11:18 |
| SkunkFoot | I didn't think I would get such a hostile reaction | 11:19 |
| SkunkFoot | So sorry to rock the board | 11:19 |
| aeon-ltd | SkunkFoot: dude just use sudo in a terminal instead of gksudo then | 11:19 |
| SkunkFoot | *boat | 11:19 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what part of 'username: password: ' is not clear.... but oh well | 11:19 | |
| * Dr_Willis votes to put the 'n' in to 'umount' so its the more understandable 'unmount' | 11:20 | |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: alias unmount= "sudo umount" | 11:21 |

| selofi | holas! | 11:22 |

| DarsVaeda | how do i change the default bootlist entry in grub (ubuntu 10.04) | 11:52 |
| abhi_nav | ????? | 11:52 |
| stefg | !grub | DarsVaeda | 11:52 |
| ubottu | DarsVaeda: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 11:52 |
| DarsVaeda | that wiki article is wrong, does not work | 11:52 |
| stefg | !grub2 | DarsVaeda | 11:52 |
| ubottu | DarsVaeda: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:52 |
| abhi_nav | :) | 11:52 |
| DarsVaeda | as said | 11:52 |
| DarsVaeda | does not work | 11:52 |
| stefg | !doesntwork | 11:53 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 11:53 |
| stefg | :-) | 11:53 |
| abhi_nav | DarsVaeda, what you want to do? edit that grub file? set your defualt os number to '0'. what else? | 11:53 |
| abhi_nav | :D | 11:53 |
| josef__ | i added a custom repository and did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade; but the upgrade just tells me that there is one packet left for update; but it won't update; can anybody help? | 11:53 |
| DarsVaeda | i want to have another menu entry to boot up by default as it is now | 11:53 |
| DarsVaeda | the article says change the number of the default | 11:54 |
| abhi_nav | DarsVaeda, e.g. you have 'abc' os as default now and you want to change it to 'xyz' os as default right? | 11:54 |
| DarsVaeda | GRUB_DEFAULT=0 , i did ran update-grub but it is still not the menu entry i want | 11:54 |
| DarsVaeda | yeah @ abhi_nav | 11:54 |
| iflema | DarsVaeda edit the file /etc/default/grub save and follow with a sudo update-grub, the first on the list is 0 second 1 and so on..... | 11:54 |
| DarsVaeda | like that | 11:54 |
| DarsVaeda | ...thats what i did -.- | 11:55 |
| stefg | DarsVaeda: grub2 uses the ordering given in /etc/grub.d. (reminds me of old sys-V-style init) | 11:55 |
| abhi_nav | ^^ | 11:55 |
| abhi_nav | DarsVaeda, you set it to 0. so what is wrong now? | 11:55 |
| DarsVaeda | my default is 0, the default i want is 5 | 11:55 |
| DarsVaeda | so i set 5 to default | 11:55 |
| Guest64462 | hi i have a problem with KVMSwitcher (mouse and keyboard) | 11:55 |
| stefg | DarsVaeda: don't mess with teh files in /boot/grub ... will get overwritten anyway. | 11:55 |
| iflema | DarsVaeda look for GRUB_DEFAULT=0 | 11:55 |
| abhi_nav | DarsVaeda, then set grub_defualt=5 | 11:56 |
| DarsVaeda | gnah | 11:56 |
| DarsVaeda | i did -.- | 11:56 |
| abhi_nav | DarsVaeda, counting starts from 0,1,2,3 etc. so may your actually 5 is 4? | 11:56 |
| DarsVaeda | i hate grub2 maybe i just switch back to the old one | 11:56 |
| Guest64462 | hi i have a problem with KVMSwitcher (mouse and keyboard) | 11:56 |
| iflema | DarsVaeda followed by in a terminal sudo update-grub | 11:56 |
| iflema | DarsVaeda or even sudo update-grub2 | 11:57 |
| Guest64462 | heuu lol, i loss mouse and after keyboard, but i can't see error | 11:57 |
| * stefg thinks grub2 sucks, too.... unnecessary obfuscation | 11:57 | |
| DarsVaeda | yeah forget about it | 11:57 |
| DarsVaeda | another question | 11:57 |
| DarsVaeda | how do i switch back to grub¹ | 11:57 |
| DarsVaeda | :D | 11:57 |
| abhi_nav | :( | 11:57 |
| stefg | DarsVaeda: look at /etc/grub.d ... you have to order the modules by giving the numbers in the filename | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | yeah i did | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | its the 6. entry | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | so it must be 5 | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | i set it in the file in etc/default | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | run update-grub, its in boot/grub now | 11:58 |
| DarsVaeda | but does not work | 11:58 |
| stefg | DarsVaeda: and did you do a grub-update afterwards (so /boot/grub/grub.cfg got rewritten)? | 11:59 |
| DarsVaeda | sooo how do i switch back to grub¹ | 11:59 |
| === meowbuntu is now known as its-me-again | ||

| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, abiword | 12:00 |
| Dr_Willis | arunkumar413: huh? | 12:00 |

| arunkumar413 | wise_cry1t: i need a plain text editor.Gedit is generating formatted text | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | paddy_: with the modprobe command i mentioned earlier | 12:12 |
| NightKhaos | Dr_Willis: it's worth learning... | 12:12 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: not really | 12:12 |
| NightKhaos | Dr_Willis: but it's HARD to learn. | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | NightKhaos: no its not. | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | 'learning to learn' is hard. | 12:13 |
| NightKhaos | Dr_Willis: that's cause you, and I, have learned. :P | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vimtutor | 12:13 |
| paddy_ | doesnt work | 12:13 |
| ubottu | Package vimtutor does not exist in lucid | 12:13 |
| paddy_ | i will just open beep as a file in perl | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | paddy_: in the console the \a worked after i had loded the pcspkr module. Nothing makes it work in X. | 12:13 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: you can open plain text with any editor you like :) | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vitutor | 12:14 |
| ubottu | Package vitutor does not exist in lucid | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm what is that command/package heh. | 12:14 |
| panda59 | where is the conf file for X | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | panda59: IF it exists /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:14 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: but gedit is in gui like notepad in win but more feature | 12:14 |
| NightKhaos | Dr_Willis: your point is noted. However, the package is not important. | 12:14 |
| panda59 | Dr_Willis i don't see it (linux mint) | 12:14 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: there is also nedit for x | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | I think 'nano' needs a better replacement. I saw a console exitor ages ago that was a clone of the old dos edit.. but cant find it again. | 12:15 |
| arunkumar413 | wise_cry1t: when i copy the text from gedit to the blogger post editor and click on post.it is showing formatting errors | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | panda59: it dosent ahve to exist. X auto configures | 12:15 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: is it mcedit ? its from mc | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: yes. its mc's own internal editor | 12:15 |
| panda59 | Dr_Willis ok thanks | 12:16 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: change the formating type | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: so you can use f2 to save.. instead of having a newbie look at the nano stuff and wonder what '^X' means :) | 12:16 |
| wise_cry1t | arunkumar413: utf-8 etc | 12:16 |
| arunkumar413 | wise_cry1t: text wrapping? | 12:16 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: you hard to confince they are phrase " linux is only for geeks " but ubuntu is for human being | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | 'linux is for people that want to get their work done' :) | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | 'linux - Your OS, your way' | 12:18 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: and what point you trolling like that ? | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | wise_cry1t: it was a reply to your trolling i guess.. if you call taht trolling.. | 12:19 |
| wise_cry1t | Dr_Willis: suit yourself | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ive sold many a people on 'linux' because of its flexibility. Not its eyecandy or other features. On its pure flexibilty to suite their specific needs exactly how they wanted it to. | 12:20 |

| vu1kan | livingdaylight check in your sound preferences under the applications tab | 12:32 |

| evergreenn | I installed Ubuntu 10.04 lucid , but the mouse does not move: the right button and wheel work. you can do something? | 12:33 |
| vu1kan | livingdaylight the furthest right tab in sound preferences, it allows you to mute/adjust the volume for individual apps-but only while the apps are outputting sound | 12:33 |
| livingdaylight | vu1kan: i see! | 12:34 |

| WierdAAR | Hello. My installation of ubuntu seems to get more and more sluggish. Browsing is slow, programs takes longer to start.. What should i do? .. I've uninstalled all unnecessary programs ect. | 12:36 |
| vu1kan | Benny000 what's your particular issue? | 12:37 |
| Benny000 | I need help with the update | 12:37 |
| semuser | Hi! Is there a way to boot ubuntu to RAM? (Meaning the op system will be copied to RAM, and run from there). I need this to repartition my hard drive (need to expand the / partition), and I have no live CD and no flash disk to boot from at hand | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | WierdAAR: it is slow after a clean boot? not just after running for a long time? | 12:37 |
| paddy_ | WierdAAR install flashblock for firefox it will make browsing 100 times faster | 12:37 |
| Benny000 | it keeps frezzing after I update | 12:37 |
| livingdaylight | Do people mostly use Chromium now, or is FF still de facto? | 12:37 |
| vu1kan | WierdAAR check system>preferences>startup applications for programs you don't use | 12:38 |
| WierdAAR | Dr_Willis, After clean boot it's still slow | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | semuser: i recall someone mentining a new 'toram' option in the 10.04 live/desktop cd. but ive never tried it. or even seen it documented | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | semuser: so it might be possible. | 12:38 |
| WierdAAR | paddy_, I already have adblock with filters for most flash | 12:38 |
| semuser | Dr_Willis, as I said, i have no live cd at hand :( | 12:38 |
| lvh | Hello. | 12:38 |
| livingdaylight | I hear FF is a ram hog and chrome is kinder to one's resources? true/false? | 12:39 |
| omani | WierdAAR, the speed depends on your system enviroment | 12:39 |
| lvh | Currently Gnome maps Super and Hyper to the same modkey (here's the xmodmap output to prove it: mod4 Hyper_L (0x85), Hyper_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)). | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: chrome is more optmized. but lacking in some ways. so use whatever one you want. | 12:39 |
| WierdAAR | vu1kan, start up is pretty clean.. | 12:39 |
| lvh | How can I get Gnome to map Super to mod4 and Hyper to menu? | 12:39 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: optimized? | 12:39 |
| WierdAAR | omani, Well i'm using xubuntu, and the problem is more that it's has gotten really slow since the install | 12:39 |
| lvh | I could use xmodmap directly but I'm trying to figure out how to do this with the graphical thing. | 12:40 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: I used to use FF but since using chromium I never find myself opening FF anymore | 12:40 |
| lvh | (System > Preferences > Keyboard) | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: yes. there was a lot of work in some parts of the chrome areas to gain speed. I forget the details. i think the javascript engine had big improvements. and proberly other things. | 12:40 |
| DarkSector | livingdaylight: i think both are based on webkit | 12:40 |
| omani | WierdAAR, slow in which way? system startup? applications? | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | I used chrome for a long time.. then went back to FF. | 12:40 |
| DarkSector | so both hog equal amount | 12:40 |
| lvh | DarkSector: FF is most definitely *not* based on Webkit. | 12:40 |
| vagvaf | Hey, i have a folder with 751 permissions. I want to change some subfolders' permissions to 700 but when i type sudo chmod +x 700 subfolder, nothing happens. the permissions stay 751. any idea why ? | 12:40 |
| * DarkSector checks | 12:40 | |
| livingdaylight | DarkSector: thx | 12:41 |
| lvh | DarkSector: FF is based on Gecko. | 12:41 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: what made you go back? | 12:41 |
| [CENTRAL] | Hi, i reinstalled ubuntu and choosen not to install bootloader. Now ubuntu is not booting. Just a flashing cursor doing nothing | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | lvh: oh yeah !! sorry | 12:41 |
| omani | vagvaf, chmod 700 subfolders | 12:41 |
| omani | vagvaf, without -x | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | lvh: yes its based on gecko so is chrome | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: i had issues blocking all the ads i wanted to block in chrome for the most part. and some extensions dident work as well | 12:41 |
| lvh | DarkSector: No! | 12:41 |
| lvh | DarkSector: Chrome is based on Webkit. | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | lvh: I am wrong again | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | yeah | 12:41 |
| lvh | DarkSector: FF is based on Gecko. | 12:41 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: thx | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | lvh: yes thats correct | 12:41 |
| WierdAAR | omani, Startup i at about the same speed but the application is more sluggish. I've begun to experience lagging during browsing and there are a lot of lagging when a couple of programs are open, which has never happend before. | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | lvh: my mistake | 12:41 |
| lvh | DarkSector: Safari is based on Webkit, and so are a few other minor browsers. | 12:42 |
| vagvaf | omani: yes sorry that was a typo. it's sudo chmod 700 subfolders | 12:42 |
| lvh | IE is based on Trident, and Opera has its own rendering engine. | 12:42 |
| omani | vagvaf, chmod -R 700 subfolders | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: some sites taht FF+adblock blocked.. never did get blockjed by chrome and adblock. (that may be fixed by now) | 12:42 |
| vagvaf | omani: still nothings happens, i tried that too | 12:42 |

| omani | WierdAAR, is dma enabled on ur harddrive? | 12:43 |
| WierdAAR | Omni, I dont know.. How do i check? | 12:44 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: Do you get any output when it's not booting? | 12:44 |
| [CENTRAL] | no | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: ive not really noticed that. but there was a few sites i always went to that had the most annoying fullpage popup ads that made switch back to FF real fast. | 12:44 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: Can you explain what is happening from when you turn on your computer to when it does not boot up? | 12:45 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: agues, adblocking is something chrome needs to add/refine | 12:45 |
| [CENTRAL] | i get nothing. just a horizontal cursor. i just reinstalled ubuntu and i dont know why i chose not to install bootloader | 12:45 |
| [CENTRAL] | may be that the problem? | 12:45 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: Yes. | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: i also seem to get a lot of differance in the hard-printouts of vasrious sites in different browsers. some sites are totally unuseable when printed in some browsers | 12:45 |
| [CENTRAL] | ok how do i fix it | 12:45 |
| [CENTRAL] | without reinstalling the damn system all over again | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | You dont know why you did not leave it at the default? :) | 12:46 |
| [CENTRAL] | this is not the discussion here | 12:46 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: You could boot up the LiveCD and try to restore GRUB on the system. | 12:46 |
| [CENTRAL] | how | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | [CENTRAL]: it may be quicker to just reinstall.. unless you have some grub/console skills. | 12:46 |

| DarkSector | [CENTRAL]: so the one you installed ubuntu in is it master or slave ? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | It would be nice if they put some 'repair' options on the live cd's | 12:47 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 12:47 |
| [CENTRAL] | salve but i can choose witch one i want at start | 12:47 |
| DarkSector | Dr_Willis: good idea, you could suggest that | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkSector: i think its been suggested. ive even seen it in other disrtos. | 12:48 |
| DarkSector | [CENTRAL]: ok so do an alt+f2 on the screen | 12:48 |
| mei | [CENTRAL]: Use that link, it will help you restoring GRUB, which is the bootloader. It will then detect other OS's and everything will be fine. | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkSector: but how far do you go. the cd is packed so full as it is. | 12:48 |

| Dr_Willis | [CENTRAL]: so you could put grub on the linux hd. and then tell the bios to boot that. that way if you ever reinstalled windows. you shouldent need to 'fix' grub again. | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | [CENTRAL]: or if you remove linux later. you can boot the windows HD and not need to restore its bootloader either | 12:52 |

| laeg | Muelli: i'd like to roll back wine1.2-rc5 to rc4, rc3 or possibly rc2 | 13:37 |
| chowlala | laeg: yes | 13:38 |
| laeg | chowlala: ty | 13:38 |
| delinquentme | is it safe to assume that legacy versions of ubuntu are more stable than those that have been recently released?? | 13:38 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: I already used sudo once for it (it didn't launch though), should I reboot asap? | 13:38 |
| Muelli | laeg: does the desired version show up in apt-cache policy wine? If so, use that to apt-get install wine=1.2-rc3 or so.. | 13:38 |
| delinquentme | im running lynx and shit just B R E A K S | 13:38 |
| chowlala | laeg: if your touchpad has multitouch on windows, it's just a matter of configuring drivers to work on linux | 13:38 |
| gryllida | delinquentme: I have lynx here in terminal, things work as expected | 13:39 |
| laeg | chowlala: no friend, i'm talking about synaptic package manager... | 13:39 |
| Win | http://paste.ubuntu.com/455896/ can someone help ? | 13:39 |
| delinquentme | gryllida, what browser du use? | 13:39 |
| delinquentme | im runnign chromium and its wonky | 13:39 |
| gryllida | delinquentme: mainly firefox | 13:39 |
| gryllida | delinquentme: alsow3m, lynx, links2 | 13:40 |
| delinquentme | ... annnd have you done any RoR development? | 13:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gryllida, ok I think I need to stop and understand what you're actually trying to do, you said you wanted to update firefox, I have no clue how you're going to do that with the command gksudo -u... so explain to me again what exactly you want to do, what is it you hope to achieve and tell me what tutorial your using | 13:40 |
| laeg | Muelli: i'm unfamiliar with the apt-cache policy wine, if you mean does it display when entering apt-cache policy wine into term, then no it does not | 13:40 |
| Muelli | Win: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=executable+bit | 13:40 |
| delinquentme | or perhaps used Rspec or Git? | 13:40 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: I'm trying to run firefox as root after it told me 'not enough permissions' when I hit help -check for updates | 13:41 |
| Muelli | laeg: hm. could you paste the output of apt-cache policy wine? :-) using dpaste.com or so. | 13:41 |
| abhi_nav | hi abhinav | 13:41 |
| Muelli | laeg: also, how did you install the 1.2-rc5? | 13:41 |
| gryllida | hi abhi_nav | 13:42 |
| Win | Muelli, did you not think I googled this before I asked | 13:42 |
| abhi_nav | gryllida, ?? | 13:42 |
| Muelli | Win: apparently not. Your question does not indicate that at all. | 13:42 |
| laeg | Muelli: http://pastebin.com/iQhWcutA - through automatic updates, i added the wine repo previously | 13:42 |
| gryllida | !google > Muelli | 13:42 |
| ubottu | Muelli, please see my private message | 13:42 |
| laeg | Muelli: if relevant i've only just upgraded to 10.04, and there were some 'cleanups' done | 13:43 |
| Win | Muelli, I did lol and I can find nothing I did the chmod +x file name right click on file then open with wine I get the error | 13:43 |
| laeg | obsolete software removed etc | 13:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gryllida, not sure which type of FF your running I have just tried to check that option on my browser and couldn't find it and you havent read the link(s) I sent you, you dont have to download the apps from their but it may give you the latest firefox by replacing your current one | 13:44 |
| Muelli | laeg: hm. Is downgraing to wine-1.1.42-0ubuntu4 good enough for you? If so, do a apt-get install wine=1.1.42-0ubuntu4 If not, try to find a .deb of your desired version :-\ | 13:44 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: ok, I can add, I'm not using firefox from the repo, I've installed it manually from firefox website | 13:45 |
| Muelli | *downgrading even | 13:45 |
| marcin | hej | 13:45 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: and it does have help - check for updates feature, which says 'not enough permissions' | 13:45 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: I'm tired of trying to solve it today, back in 8 hours, will read on gksu too | 13:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gryllida, please state that when asking for help and if you really want to run FF as root gksudo will do with you belong to the amdin group | 13:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gryllida, ok no problem | 13:46 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: yes I am in sudoers | 13:46 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: yes I want to run it as root | 13:47 |
| JNGodbout | hello i have a Pesky Package which cannot be removed, and I can't install anything else while it exists. The package is bnetd | 13:47 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: and yes I don't know how | 13:47 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: "gksu -u user usr/local/firefox/firefox -P "nightly" -no-remote" -what's wrong with this line? | 13:47 |
| JNGodbout | And I get this error: grep: /etc/bnetd/bnetd.conf: No such file or directory | 13:47 |
| JNGodbout | Please help 감사해 | 13:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | gryllida, I would have expected the extracted tar file to have a README explaining about upgrade options im downloading it now to see what is says | 13:48 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: what are you trying to do? Can you paste full shell output? | 13:48 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: Sure | 13:48 |
| laeg | Muelli: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198720 - 1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1 is listed there but only rc5 available to download :( | 13:48 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: using dpaste.com or so | 13:48 |
| gryllida | Pirate_Hunter: 22:18pm here.. hope you will be on in 8 hours, I'll come here then | 13:48 |
| Muelli | laeg: you might have an appropriate .deb in /var/cache/apt/archives. | 13:48 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: http://dpaste.com/211970/ | 13:49 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: I have tried removing it several ways, until, in my anger, I deleted /etc/bnetd | 13:49 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: So the error is slightly different to what it was before | 13:49 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: looks like a bug to me :-) I'd file it... Will you? Try apt-get install --reinstall bnetd; apt-get purge bnetd. | 13:49 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: It does look that indeed. Someone else on the internet had an identical problem with bnetd, and they solved it by getting the latest bnetd .deb and installing that. However, that did not work for me | 13:50 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: Try apt-get install --reinstall bnetd; apt-get purge bnetd. | 13:51 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: Same errors | 13:51 |
| slow-motion | hi | 13:51 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: Where can I file this to? And is there some crazy, dangerous, risky way that I can kill this package? | 13:52 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: hm. weird. Then I'd just do mkdir /etc/bnetd; touch /etc/bnetd.conf; apt-get purge bnetd :-) | 13:52 |
| laeg | Muelli: wine1.2_1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1~karmicppa1_i386.deb found but it was before my updade to lucid so to google.. | 13:52 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: let's try a sane way first ;-) To file a bug, do "ubuntu-bug bnetd". | 13:52 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: The problems were around before I deleted /etc/bnetd though | 13:52 |
| Muelli | laeg: you might be able to dpkg -i /path/to/debfile it. | 13:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !hi | 13:54 |
| ubottu | 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! | 13:54 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: Is it still worth filing a bug now that the error code is different because I got rid of /etc/bnetd? | 13:54 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: I'd say so. | 13:54 |
| laeg | Muelli: or just open wine1.2_1.2~rc4-0ubuntu1~karmicppa1_i386.deb from firefox with gdebi? also, should i sudo apt-get remove wine first and backup my .wine dir? | 13:54 |
| laeg | not karmic, lucid even - i have it found online. | 13:55 |
| Muelli | laeg: eh. yeah. good suggestions. They shouldn't do harm after all. So yeah, go ahead :-) | 13:55 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| laeg | Muelli: okay - and that's the version pinned because it's no longer installed in synaptic? | 13:56 |
| aurilliance | I'm about to run this command from ~, is this safe? rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 13:56 |
| pimpman | sup. I just apt-get install oidentd on my fresh ubuntu server, then insstalled irssi, and i try connect to a server but the username still gives me a ~ in the host. Any idea why or what i need to do to fix it? | 13:56 |
| Muelli | aurilliance: no. Not unless gconfd is running. | 13:57 |
| Muelli | laeg: ah. what? Sorry, I don't follow you. You can see the versions installed and available with apt-cache policy | 13:57 |
| rohan | Hi | 13:57 |
| rohan | Hi i have a problem with the network manager | 13:58 |
| JNGodbout | Muelli: So I guess the next step is to reinstall? | 13:58 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: have you tried mkdir /etc/bnetd; touch /etc/bnetd.conf; apt-get purge bnetd ? | 13:59 |
| JNGodbout | Yep | 13:59 |
| Muelli | JNGodbout: and? what's the output? success? | 13:59 |
| JNGodbout | Ah, that's interesting: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 14:00 |
| JNGodbout | reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 14:00 |
| laeg | Muelli: i just mean synaptic/apt-get won't upgrade my rc4 to rc5 because i've removed rc5? installing with gdebi is separate from apt-get and doesn't qualify the software for autoupdates? | 14:00 |
| JNGodbout | hehehe | 14:00 |
| Esine | Hey. Pulseaudio is causing latency for me. Is there a way to temporarily disable it? This is 10.04. | 14:00 |

| rohan | hey..whenever i create a new wireless connection..it goes kaput..it connects, disconnects, connects, disconnects..and so on and after some time the icon dissapears from the panel..then i have to start it manually by using gksu nm-applet command | 14:01 |
| bastid_raZor | !info gbrainy | h4f | 14:02 |
| ubottu | h4f: gbrainy (source: gbrainy): brain teaser game and trainer to have fun and to keep your brain trained. In component main, is optional. Version 1.41-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 286 kB, installed size 3084 kB | 14:02 |
| VCoolio | Voldenet: here\ space or "here space" | 14:02 |
| rohan | but still then also i cant create new wireless connection | 14:02 |
| Muelli | laeg: hm. the next apt-get upgrade will probably upgrade to rc5. You can manually pin rc4, but don't ask me how to do it. It's easy enough though. | 14:02 |
| pimpman | anyone? | 14:02 |
| Voldenet | VCoolio, i tried | 14:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !wireless | rohan | 14:02 |
| ubottu | rohan: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:02 |

| Voldenet | mount.cifs \\\\$ip\\$(echo $arg1 | sed 's/ /\\ /g') $mountfolder -o pass=none; | 14:03 |
| Voldenet | does not work for me | 14:03 |
| Voldenet | when folder got spaces | 14:03 |
| Voldenet | i got an error, that "\" is not supported mount.cifs argument | 14:03 |
| bastid_raZor | rohan: you shouldn't be running nm-applet as root. | 14:03 |
| rohan | i know but it wont start if i run it otherwise | 14:03 |
| rohan | for it to work perfectly i have to delete the newly created wireless connection | 14:04 |
| rohan | i want to connect my phone via ad hoc to my laptop | 14:04 |
| h4f | bastid_raZor: thanks but there is nothing said about extensions and repos | 14:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rohan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc not sure if it will help you but good luck or wait a while someone with more experience with your problem might show up | 14:06 |
| VCoolio | Voldenet: what if you do "$arg1" or "\\\\$ip\\$arg" | 14:06 |
| rohan | Pirate_Hunter : that didnt help much | 14:06 |
| rohan | but thanks a lot! anyways | 14:06 |
| bastid_raZor | h4f: you didn't ask about exentions. you asked how to find a package information. | 14:07 |
| bastid_raZor | h4f: firefox extensions come from mozilla and are found in your browser. not in a repository. | 14:07 |
| bastid_raZor | h4f: or.. gbrainy.. that is.. sorry confused you with another. | 14:08 |
| bastid_raZor | h4f: grainy is available in the repo's. as ubottu stated. | 14:09 |
| emergion | How could I run PHP 5.2x on Lucid? | 14:09 |
| Voldenet | VCoolio, "\\\\$ip\\$arg" results in "mount: invaild share, rtfm" | 14:10 |
| Voldenet | emergion, it depends on what server are you using | 14:10 |
| Voldenet | nginx is using php in fast-cgi | 14:11 |
| emergion | Apache | 14:11 |
| Voldenet | ah, want using module or cgi? | 14:11 |
| Voldenet | cgi: after installing php5-cgi edit your /etc/Apache2/httpd.conf | 14:12 |
| Voldenet | or wherever is that httpd | 14:12 |
| emergion | Voldenet, Oh good idea I was about to start messing with my sources list and thought that would be a very bad idea | 14:12 |
| emergion | Voldenet, Ah that package is 5.3.2? | 14:13 |
| pimpman | abnyone able to guide me to why my server is still showint ~ in hosts when oidentd is installed? | 14:14 |
| Voldenet | Sth like that | 14:14 |
| VCoolio | Voldenet: rtfm, that's not very kind, but I don't know what else you could do | 14:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | pimpman, what do you expect it to show? | 14:15 |
| pimpman | if i isntall ident i expect it not to show the ! in hostname | 14:15 |
| Voldenet | VCoolio, which one? :| | 14:15 |
| Voldenet | i tried man bash and man mount.cifs | 14:16 |
| VCoolio | Voldenet: remove the spaces from the shared folders, I think that's easiest | 14:16 |
| Voldenet | That shares are not mine. | 14:17 |
| Voldenet | I would never use cifs to share anything | 14:17 |

| Pirate_Hunter | pimpman, what are you trying to do I have no clue, have never used oident... and don't know what it does, cna you explain | 14:19 |
| pimpman | You install 'oidentd' which basically makes users who log on irc, to NOT have the ~ in their hostname. EG: ~Pirate_Hu@ | 14:20 |
| pimpman | if u have oidentd installed uyou would log in with: Pirate_Hu@ not ~Pirate_Hu@ | 14:20 |

| michmich | hey i have a problem | 14:20 |
| laeg | Muelli: i just forced the different version via synaptic, there's a force version under the package menu. strangley it only seems to let be backdate to the versions since upgrading to 10.04 today, which does make sense because the karma versions aren't intended for lucid but it would be nice if it gave the option to download previous versions for lucid also | 14:21 |
| laeg | Muelli: ty for your help, i have learned some | 14:21 |
| laeg | :) | 14:21 |
| michmich | does anyone can tell me what this mean | 14:21 |
| michmich | strcmp("\200\207\206\205\351", "\207\327\225\327\217\322\207\327\227\212\323\215\200\323\207\320\351") | 14:21 |
| michmich | i mean the "\200" etc.. | 14:21 |
| michmich | i know they are chars | 14:21 |
| michmich | but i can't understand the link between this and the ascii table or anything :( | 14:22 |
| tomlikeslinux | isn't that how to call up ascii characters | 14:22 |
| michmich | ha | 14:22 |
| michmich | tell me more | 14:22 |
| michmich | i guessed that \351 stands for "\n" | 14:23 |
| michmich | coz it ends the 2 strings | 14:23 |
| michmich | i know all the chars from the 1st arg | 14:23 |
| michmich | and i would decode the 2nd arg :D | 14:23 |

| epanortho | Dr_Willis: I don't; I meant running a command, e.g. tesseract, on every .jpg file in a directory. | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | epanortho: 'find' can be used for that and a bit of shell knowledge. | 14:35 |

| Dr_Willis | vaul: it is possible to make applictions run on the gdm desktop. you could run a terminal, then launch some screeshot apps from it. | 14:39 |
| RealBadApple | I never thought I would say this since my switched to linux about 6 years ago, but, thank GOD I left Windows on this machine! At least it knows how to use the touchpad! I am finally fed up with crap not working! | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | vaul: or as root, you might be able to force an app to run on the gdm desktop/screen. | 14:39 |
| Esine | vaul: or ssh in and DISPLAY=:0.0 import -window root gdm_screenshot.png | 14:40 |
| Esine | or just ctrl-alt-f1 | 14:40 |
| epanortho | oCean_: Thanks! | 14:42 |
| AceKing | I started up my laptop this morning and couldn't get on the internet. I clicked on the connection and the only thing that's there is "Network Disabled". It's grayed out so I can't even click on it. Can someone help me to fix this? | 14:42 |

| AdminX | To install the ATI drivers on BT4 is the command apt-get install fglrx ? | 14:43 |
| oCean_ | epanortho: most welcome :) | 14:43 |
| AdminX | To install the ATI drivers is the command apt-get install fglrx ? | 14:43 |
| bastid_raZor | AdminX: you should ask in #backtrack-lunux | 14:43 |
| bastid_raZor | #backtrack-linux rather | 14:44 |
| pakair | AceKing, check /var/log/dmesg for errors | 14:44 |
| AceKing | vulkan, Thank you that worked. It must be the pain killers | 14:44 |
| abhi_nav | please suggest me useful docking aps. Docky is not useful. (I am not crossposting) | 14:44 |
| vu1kan | np...most of the issues i can solve are facepalm moments | 14:44 |
| AceKing | pakair, thanks, it was a dumb mistake on my part | 14:44 |
| pakair | AceKing, np, glad you got it working. | 14:45 |
| soreau | AdminX: What model gpu do you have? | 14:45 |
| AceKing | pakair, thanks, me too!! | 14:45 |
| AdminX | bastid_raZor: I am on there as well, but since BT4 is ubuntu is based I thought I would ask. | 14:46 |
| airtonix | soreau, AdminX backtrack is not supported here | 14:46 |
| soreau | airtonix: I dont care, just wanted to tell him if his card is supported at all by the proprietary driver | 14:46 |
| AdminX | soreau: HP DV7 laptop with ATI radeon card | 14:47 |
| airtonix | soreau, i dont care | 14:47 |
| soreau | airtonix: Obviously you do or you wouldnt have told the bt is unsupported here | 14:47 |
| airtonix | soreau, no really. i don't | 14:48 |
| soreau | AdminX: The doesnt tell what model gpu you have. Try lspci|grep VGA | 14:48 |
| abhi_nav | hope someone take could have taken this much effort to address my question. :( rather than takling who cares about what and who not | 14:48 |
| soreau | abhi_nav: No one cares about your question just the same | 14:49 |
| vu1kan | abhi_nav check out rocketdock | 14:49 |
| abhi_nav | vu1kan, ok | 14:49 |
| airtonix | vu1kan, ... | 14:49 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, if docky is not useful to you then none of them will be | 14:50 |
| AdminX | soreau HD 4650 | 14:50 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, docky dont have option. i cant edit remove aps from it i cant set its position etc | 14:50 |
| soreau | AdminX: It is supported by the open radeon driver which should be installed and working already | 14:50 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, by the way. rocketdock is windows only. | 14:50 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, :( | 14:51 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, of course you can move icons around on the dock, and+or move the dock to a part of the screen. | 14:51 |
| soreau | AdminX: If you want to try fglrx, use jockey to install it (and remove it, after you realize its crap) | 14:51 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, i cant | 14:51 |
| abhi_nav | vu1kan, you fooled me | 14:51 |
| airtonix | soreau, and that any problems will be unsupported because you're not using straight ubuntu. | 14:51 |
| soreau | airtonix: Im not asking for support genius | 14:52 |
| AdminX | soreau: LOL, thanks I will give jockey a try. | 14:52 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, you haven't tried hard enough. open the settings config and click on the dock then drag it. | 14:52 |
| airtonix | soreau, ragemoar | 14:52 |
| vu1kan | abhi_nav sorry, didn't realize it's win only; i was using on my flashdrive a couple of years ago, and recalled it was rather nice for what i wanted | 14:52 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, also main problem is that it doenst goes behind all windows. so my all windows sit on above it (not top of it) | 14:52 |
| airtonix | vu1kan, to be honest its really not that great. it doesn't allow you to program your own plugins in python or mono for one thing. | 14:52 |
| abhi_nav | vu1kan, ok | 14:52 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, then you need to check your compiz settings to ensure that the window rules prevent that | 14:53 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, ok | 14:53 |
| chowlala | can someone help me get my syanaptics touchpad multitouch to work? =( | 14:53 |
| chowlala | the touchpad is working but the multitouch isn't | 14:54 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/best-ubuntu-docks-vote.html | 14:54 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, thanks | 14:55 |
| chowlala | airtonix: nice | 14:55 |
| chowlala | airtonix: was on cairo for a while, but was a little too complicated for my taste heh | 14:56 |
| airtonix | abhi_nav, im not sure if its listed there but you might like talika. | 14:56 |
| abhi_nav | airtonix, ok. i search it | 14:57 |

| vodll | Dr_Willis it happens to me all the time too | 15:16 |
| ae86-drifter | dont think so | 15:16 |

| vu1kan | vodll i also use the Join/Part Hiding plugin...cuts down on the clutter in irc | 15:18 |
| vodll | vu1kan do you use pidgin for irc? | 15:18 |
| vu1kan | vodll yep, that's what i'm using now | 15:19 |
| slacker- | nobody on grub2 and / on raid? | 15:19 |
| Dr_Willis | slacker-: i would carefully check the grub2 wiki page and forums.. | 15:19 |
| vodll | vu1kan can you use irc and yahoo at the same time? | 15:19 |
| vu1kan | !grub2 | 15:19 |

| vodll | vu1kan how do you join yahoo rooms? | 15:21 |
| slacker- | matt: good luck | 15:21 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: why should he do a clean install ? | 15:21 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: there is a perfectly stable upgrade path | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Every time ive been in a Yahoo Room. the bots outnuimbered the real people 10 to 1 | 15:21 |
| cntrational | Dr_Willis: you are smarterbot | 15:22 |
| ae86-drifter | ikonia, sure well on two occasions it failed for me and both occasions i had to clean install over again | 15:22 |
| vu1kan | vodll click buddies>join a chat and select Yahoo from the drop down list, either type the room name or click 'room list' | 15:22 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: ok - so you're personal experiences have not worked out, so please don't say "do a clean install" as the upgrade works for thousands of people | 15:22 |
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu upgrades it is not very robust in my opinion | 15:22 |

| ikonia | ae86-drifter: thousands of people would disagree, it can have problems if you are not %100 in line with requirements | 15:23 |
| ae86-drifter | should probably ==> "do a clean install"... thats not what i said ikonia | 15:23 |
| vu1kan | vodll not sure i understand what you mean | 15:24 |
| ae86-drifter | i am just sharing my experience to benefit others | 15:24 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: that's exactly what you said | 15:24 |
| bastid_raZor | vodll: ask in #freenode ..they have all the answers | 15:24 |
| vodll | vu1kan how do you connect to irc with pidgin? i created the irc account and then? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: no - you are not saying "I've had 2 failures" you're saying you'd be better off doing a clean install as fact, based on you having to experiences | 15:24 |
| ae86-drifter | i said probably | 15:24 |
| slacker- | ahh.. If a RAID partitioning scheme is used during installation the grub boot loader will only be installed on the first hard drive instead of all the drives. Booting the system if the first drive has failed will not work. As a workaround users can manually install grub to each disk in the array using the grub-install command | 15:24 |
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: probably doesn't make it any better | 15:24 |
| vu1kan | vodll...oh...same as the procedure for joining a yahoo room | 15:24 |
| ae86-drifter | in your eyes | 15:24 |
| slacker- | so they actually recommend installing it on both drives | 15:25 |

| bastid_raZor | ikonia: its the simple things in life :) | 15:27 |
| matt__ | think i jus caught someone suggesting clean install rather than upgrade | 15:27 |
| loopidity | its an old laptop though, looks like german laptop | 15:27 |
| ae86-drifter | ikonia, do you think the upgrade is fairly robust? what could possibly cause it to go wrong? I am sick of every time a new release comes out it fails for me, and i need to clean install again. | 15:28 |
| IdleOne | loopidity: lspci | grep VGA | 15:28 |

| Dr_Willis | ClevelandRock: using debian repos in ubuntu - is a BAD idea. | 16:36 |
| IdleOne | ClevelandRock: you are looking to break your system by doing that | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Over^Kill: you could just mount it by hand. or look in /media/cdrom to see if its there | 16:36 |
| ClevelandRock | Dr_Willis: How else can I get "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3"? | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ClevelandRock: i never heard why you needed it. | 16:36 |
| ClevelandRock | Dr_Willis: It's a required library for the Linux version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. | 16:37 |
| Over^Kill | Dr_Willis Just finished installing Ubuntu the CD-ROM isnt mounted by default? | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ClevelandRock: i would suggest you check the various ubuntu game forums. there might be a work around. You are willing to totally break your system for an old game? | 16:37 |

| michaelxq | where do you find tutorials for ubuntu terminal commands | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | michaelxq: terminal commands arenot normally 'ubuntu' specific. check out sites for shell/bash/command line tutorials | 16:40 |
| tic^ | !bash | michaelxq | 16:40 |
| ubottu | michaelxq: 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 | 16:40 |
| ClevelandRock | Dr_Willis: There are plenty of games that work on Ubuntu, so I don't see why I should have to play this one in particular on Windows. | 16:40 |
| Over^Kill | said cant find media/cdrom in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Over^Kill: you did use sudo mount /media/cdrom ? with the /media ? not 'media/cdrom' ? | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Over^Kill: or try mounting it this way 'sudo mkdir /media/cdrom' 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' | 16:41 |

| soadkombucha | What exactly are you trying to do rv1s? | 17:15 |
| Hasanibrahim | soadkombucha: there is no hardwere on the harwere tab of sound options | 17:15 |
| pwnsey | erUSUL: I've tried to boot into a boot disk because I wanted to install the 64bit ubuntu on my machine and I'm resizing the partition and it's taking more than 30 minutes. Is that normal? | 17:15 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: What is your soundcard? | 17:15 |
| pwnsey | stuck at 50% | 17:15 |
| rv1s | soadkombucha: i want to read out the "TPE2" field (ID3-tag) from a mp3 file | 17:15 |
| alpha__ | How do I make an imported key to my personal key? | 17:15 |
| ChogyDan | Over^Kill: what does lspci say the card is? | 17:15 |
| erUSUL | pwnsey: dependiong on the amount of data it has to move around it can be | 17:15 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> where do I check | 17:16 |
| edbian | pwnsey: That is not strange. Partition is a bit level function so it is kinda slow | 17:16 |
| ChogyDan | Over^Kill: on a terminal | 17:16 |
| pwnsey | thanks erUSUL and idbian | 17:16 |
| Hasanibrahim | i just lost it, it was working for about two hours ago | 17:16 |

| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> lspci says - ISA bridge: Intel corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 01) | 17:17 |
| rv1s | soadkombucha: mh this command only returns the standard fields like artist, title and album | 17:18 |
| pwnsey | If the partition never ends does it mean I have a bum disk. I'm just concerned because it only took like 5 minutes to partition my nearly full drive last time and this drive is brand new. | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | Over^Kill: and isa bridge != a nic card ... « lspci | grep -i net » | 17:18 |
| edbian | pwnsey, Sometimes it takes 2 hours | 17:19 |
| ubutom_ | pwnsey, resizing may take a long time | 17:19 |
| pwnsey | ok | 17:19 |
| pwnsey | Thanks, I'll wait it out. | 17:19 |

| soadkombucha | rv1s: I can't see anything that would allow you to list the info you want because I don't know exactly what info you want. Why are you trying to use this program in particular? | 17:20 |
| Over^Kill | <erUSUL> How do I put that in exactly? | 17:20 |
| Hasanibrahim | soadkombucha: realtek | 17:20 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: Did you try installing from source? | 17:20 |
| erUSUL | Over^Kill: what ? the « » are not part of the command ... | 17:20 |

| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: I'll give you the download link, and a pastebin link | 17:21 |
| rv1s | soadkombucha: i want to create a shell script that reorganises my mp3 files and i want them to be moved into folders which are given the name of the album artist (stored in the TPE2 field) | 17:21 |
| jamesw | my java fonts are really tiny, how can i change the size? | 17:21 |
| Hasanibrahim | okey soadkombucha | 17:21 |
| Over^Kill | <erUSUL> :( sorry I am confused | 17:22 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: You're going to extract the folder from the downloaded file to /home/yourusername | 17:22 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: Then you can either run all the commands on the pastebin link in terminal, or you can make a shell script from it | 17:22 |
| DasEi | Over^Kill: is this a laptop you're on ? | 17:22 |
| Over^Kill | no | 17:22 |
| Hasanibrahim | soadkombucha: okey | 17:22 |

| rv1s | soadkambucha: the id3v2 tpe2 field stores information about band/orchestra etc. but often is used to store the album artist | 17:22 |
| erUSUL | Over^Kill: me too. i thougfht you wanted to get the exact model of your NIC card ... this command (with no quotes) " lspci | grep -i net " will get you the name | 17:23 |
| DasEi | Over^Kill: don't want to become offtopic here, but that's a very ancient chipset I think | 17:23 |

| sebsebseb | Hi | 17:23 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | I need a good FireFox integrated password manager, what do you recommend? | 17:23 |
| clayg | How do I remove older options in the boot up? Instead of 4 of 5 kernels plus Xp plus mem test I' | 17:23 |
| clayg | I'd like just XP and ubuntu | 17:23 |
| clayg | how do i do this? | 17:23 |
| DasEi | sebsebseb: :) | 17:23 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, the one that's built in? | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | DasEi: hi | 17:24 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: So you'll have "/home/yourusername/realtek-linux-audiopack-5.15 after you download the file | 17:24 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: either edit the file for the boot loader, or remove the kernels | 17:24 |
| === wilbat|GER-GOAL is now known as wildbat|GER_4-1 | ||
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: yeah but I need password completion for pidgin and what-not, and I need it to be encrypted | 17:24 |
| Hasanibrahim | wait please | 17:24 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | as in, an all around password manager | 17:24 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Oh! I'm not sure. Good luck finding one! :) | 17:24 |
| clayg | sebsebseb, im using lucid, how do i edit the file for the bootloader? | 17:24 |
| DasEi | clayg: edit /etc/default/grub , then run update-grub, both as root | 17:24 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, I know they have them in the repos. I'm not sure if there is a firefox extension | 17:25 |
| clayg | DasEi, thank you | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: not so easilly since its Grub 2 | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: well compared to the old Grub | 17:25 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko | 17:25 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: it seems like something that ubuntu's really missing | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | clayg | 17:25 |
| ubottu | clayg: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | clayg: remove the old kernels you do not want/use in synaptic | 17:25 |
| Over^Kill | <erUSUL> I put that in and it returned nothing | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: so yeah just remove the old kernels you don't want in Synaptic | 17:25 |
| Over^Kill | <DasEi> This computer is a few years old but not that old | 17:25 |
| clayg | i hate grub2 | 17:26 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, It seems like something firefox is missing. Ubuntu has password managers | 17:26 |
| clayg | pisses off they used it | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: I dislike it | 17:26 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: And then it's a a matter of going into terminal and using these commands: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/455988/ | 17:26 |
| erUSUL | Over^Kill: weird... anyway ChogyDan seems to be on the right track with your issue | 17:26 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: which? | 17:26 |
| Over^Kill | ya, thanks <erUSUL> | 17:26 |
| babbageclunk | I've just installed Netbook 10.4 on my Samsung N220, but I can't get wireless working. lspci says it's a RealTek 8192 (rev 01). I can't find the exact driver on the RealTek site (I tried compiling and installing one, but that didn't work, so I assume it's the wrong chipset). How can I find the right drivers? | 17:26 |
| clayg | so just go into synaptic and remove kernels, ok ill give that a shot | 17:26 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: it's a matter of a password manager that needs to connect to firefox and other programs (auto inserting the password and such), | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: well the old version of Grub is no longer supported upstream thats why, however I know of at least one distro that is still using it | 17:26 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: It's not I used the 8192SE drivers yesterday. | 17:26 |
| DasEi | clayg: keep language nice, you can also install grub (1) back | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: could actsually install the old version into Ubuntu, but its not as simple as just installing and using | 17:27 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: hold on | 17:27 |
| clayg | DasEi, really? will installing grub 1 remove grub 2? I guess what i want to know is how hard is it? | 17:27 |
| clayg | same with the bootloader/ plymouth or whatever - I "dislike" that change also | 17:27 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: I'm going to put a list of commands on paste.ubuntu.com, try using those to install the wireless drivers. The one command assumes the tar.gz file for the drivers is in ~/ | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: also even though Grub 2 is uh, its a bit silly to downgrade to the older one in Ubuntu, I guess | 17:28 |
| clayg | not bootloader but graphics at the login screen, me not good with words | 17:28 |
| DasEi | clayg: not too hard in my eyes, but always fine to backup mbr before those "experiments | 17:28 |
| erUSUL | changing bootloader only to remove some old kernels from the list seems a bit overkill; doesn't it ??? | 17:28 |
| babbageclunk | soadkombucha: Ok, thanks. | 17:28 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, I don't know if you'll be able to find one that will auto enter every password you might ever need to fill in. Most people use the password saver function in each app. For example for web apps most people use the built in firefox one (which I think will write them for you). Evolution and pidgin both store passwords as well. | 17:28 |
| erUSUL | like killing flys with a cannon | 17:28 |
| ChogyDan | Over^Kill: maybe you need to install linux-firmware-nonfree Im really not sure, but it is worth a shot | 17:28 |
| test34 | why not just uninstall the old kernels | 17:28 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: Not a problem. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/455989/ | 17:29 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Then there are packages like password gorilla and fpm | 17:29 |
| DasEi | clayg: editing grub is fastest way to get menu free | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: yes Plymouth really does suck in Ubuntu, unlike in Mandriva where iti s awesome, and in Fedora where it is alright. Not much can be done with Plymouth though when it comes to Ubuntu, can sort of disable it and have a text mood instead though. | 17:29 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> how | 17:29 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: are you aware of the fact that pidgin stores passwords in plain text? | 17:29 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Those just sort of store them all in an encrypted database | 17:29 |
| ChogyDan | Over^Kill: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree | 17:29 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> its a fairly common card I think | 17:29 |
| Over^Kill | ... | 17:29 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | at any rate I found keepassx, seems good, I'll check it out | 17:29 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, I was not aware that pidgin does that. Now am I very concerned. If you could log into my system as me then I would be concerned | 17:29 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: I wrote a shell script for that, so I don't have to redo it on every kernel, but I found those commands in a tutorial after googling a bit | 17:29 |
| clayg | sebsebseb, i like whatever was used before where you could use gnome-art to just change the splash screen, the screen wehre you put your user name and password, i think even grub had some graphics options? i dunno, just remember it being easier | 17:29 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, and quite frankly it isn't a major security risk that somebody could chat online as me. | 17:30 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: I did what you did, and just tried compiling it. | 17:30 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: depends, if you have google chat, he could know your email password | 17:30 |
| clayg | now i read up on it and the only guide i find is somehting to change thebackground walllpaper in the beginning? | 17:30 |
| DasEi | clayg: there are themes for grub2, also | 17:30 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> Couldnt find package | 17:30 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Good point | 17:30 |
| clayg | what happens if you use an older ubuntu version and dont upgrade the kernel ever | 17:30 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: as for GDM 2 the log in, I really dislike it in Ubuntu, in Fedora and such its ok, maybe just since a better background by default though. The old GDM can be installed, but its not as simple as just installing and using. | 17:30 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: I'm an advanced paranoid :D | 17:30 |
| ekontsevoy | There's a new package in Ubuntu, which allows idle servers to power off themselves (and wake on LAN later). What's the name of it? I thought it was "powersleep" but apparently not... | 17:30 |
| DasEi | clayg: right | 17:30 |
| clayg | you can still use all applications for it as they update right? | 17:30 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: Any luck? | 17:31 |
| clayg | yeah need to find a distro i liked a little better or at least was able to use easier | 17:31 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Then don't save your passwords at all. The safest password is one that is stored in only 1 place that nobody else can ever read. Your mind. | 17:31 |
| ekontsevoy | Anyone? (sorry I didnt' make it clear that it was a question for everybody :-) | 17:31 |
| ekontsevoy | There's a new package in Ubuntu, which allows idle servers to power off themselves (and wake on LAN later). What's the name of it? I thought it was "powersleep" but apparently not... | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: (well last Fedora I tried was Fedora 11, and GDM 2 looked ok there) | 17:31 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | edbian: holy crap my mind is the worst hard drive EVER | 17:31 |
| clayg | sebsebseb, still want to still do a debian fork | 17:31 |
| MBG1987 | hi | 17:31 |
| MBG1987 | hello folks | 17:31 |
| MBG1987 | i've a question | 17:31 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, But it is the most secure | 17:31 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | unreliable | 17:31 |
| babbageclunk | soadkombucha: great, thanks - I'll try that now | 17:31 |
| clayg | i guess version is what i meant not dist | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: yes the old GDM is :) can be themed nicely and all that. However a bit silly to install into Ubuntu yourself I guess, may as well just use a better alternative. | 17:32 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> In network tools under devices it lists an IPV4 adapter, but it has an IP of 127.0.0.1 (Standard) is that just a loopback and isnt the card or? | 17:32 |
| Hasanibrahim | soadkombucha: prosess is going yet | 17:32 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: Not a problem. I forgot /bin/bash after #! when I pasted that. So if you want a shell script make sure it has that line | 17:32 |
| test34 | ekontsevoy, theres a package named wakeonlan | 17:32 |

| FloodBot2 | MBG1987: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:32 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Try password gorilla. It stores them in encryption. | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: KDM has an alright theme, and is nice with multiple users, since it will show the user account that was last logged in. | 17:32 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, I have to go now though | 17:32 |
| OpenSourcedNick1 | I'll try KeePass | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: Slim is rather nice really | 17:32 |
| edbian | OpenSourcedNick1, Good luck finding a great solution! | 17:32 |
| ekontsevoy | test34: yeah that's just for sending WOL signal. But they built a nice server tool which watches process table and after all processes sit idle for XX minutes it automatically powers it off. | 17:32 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: So the PROPER script is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/455994/ | 17:32 |
| pw-toxic | erUSUL, can i install ebox on 10.4 home idition of ubuntu? i need a graphical UI for my server besides ebox | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | clayg: by default if you install from the Ubuntu repo, you get the Debian theme, because yep Ubuntu is based on Debian. There are some rather nice themes on its website, and woudn't take much for you to make your own. | 17:33 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: The download? | 17:33 |

| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> where do I look exactly, under Network Tools? | 17:34 |
| clayg | sebsebseb, what type of support though? | 17:34 |
| soadkombucha | Hasanibrahim: When it finishes try a system reboot, and if it still doesn't work go into terminal and type alsamixer (or you can install an alsamixer GUI from software center) and make sure it's not muted | 17:34 |

| MBG1987 | what's hrm? how to install? | 17:36 |
| sebsebseb | MBG1987: to be honest, there are some alright WYSIWYG 's for Desktop Linux, but none of them are as good as Dreamweaver really | 17:36 |
| pw-toxic | erUSUL, unable to find a reason to install ebox-communication | 17:36 |

| erUSUL | pw-toxic: why-not | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | MBG1987: no I meant hrm as in like thinking | 17:37 |
| erUSUL | pw-toxic: aptitude why-not ebox-communiocation | 17:37 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: No but you can remove the old kernels through synaptic and run update-grub | 17:37 |
| clayg | and my /etc/default/grub doesn't list any of the os's it seems ot only list how other options are handled | 17:37 |

| sebsebseb | MBG1987: the good news is | 17:37 |
| clayg | soadkombucha, looking through synaptic in the kernel section i dont see anything i can remove | 17:37 |
| MBG1987 | is.. | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | MBG1987: you can probably Wine Dreamweaver quite nicely, but may hae to set it up a bit | 17:37 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: try this: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 17:37 |
| MBG1987 | really! | 17:37 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> How do I do this (tar xvzf tg3-<version>.tar.gz | 17:37 |
| airtonix | lol@dreamweaver | 17:37 |
| pw-toxic | erUSUL, anyway i think im gonna install 10.04 since my motherboard broke and i need to buy a new motherboard, cpu, ram and a new sata controller for my 10 HDDs | 17:37 |
| clayg | is there a better keyword i could just search for? or some kinda program that goes "ok he has 3.4, so he doesn't want anything lower than that "? | 17:38 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: And then run this to make sure they're gone: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 | 17:38 |
| MBG1987 | it will be great | 17:38 |
| clayg | soadkombucha, giving it a shot now | 17:38 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> from the CD-ROM | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | pw-toxic: :/ check System>Admin>software sources and make sure there is no important repo disablwed | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | MBG1987: also with enough RAM and such, you can run it in a Windows virtual machine | 17:38 |
| hrishi | DasEi: thanks :) | 17:38 |
| MBG1987 | but what version could run vbia wine? | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | airtonix: not exactly, because lets be honest, most of the open source WYSWIGY's aren't as good | 17:38 |
| DasEi | clayg: in the given file you can also set the number of entries, get used to it | 17:38 |
| airtonix | sebsebseb, all wysiwygs are bad | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | airtonix: I know, Dreamweaver, eww Adobe, eww propritary software, but st ill | 17:38 |
| kickstart | sebsebseb & MBG1987 -> Photoshop works fine with Wine, why not Dreamweaver... Try with PlayOnLinux ? | 17:38 |
| MBG1987 | i ran windows inside vbox but it sucks all the time | 17:38 |
| clayg | soadkombucha, first command gave "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 17:38 |
| clayg | " | 17:38 |
| Over^Kill | <ChogyDan> Just open terminal from Desktop and type in command with the version put where it says? will it find the CD-ROM or do I need to add that option into the command somehow? | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | airtonix: indeed hand coding :) ,but not for his sites | 17:38 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: Not a GUI program I know of | 17:39 |

| pw-toxic | erUSUL, hm on which tab do i see this? | 17:39 |
| clayg | ok ran both commands , the /etc/default/grub doesn't seem to list anything I can remove to accomplish what I'd like | 17:39 |
| clayg | would anyone be willing to look at a pastebin of mine? | 17:40 |
| MBG1987 | other question plz | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | pw-toxic: first tab and third iirc | 17:40 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: You could manually remove them from grub.cfg | 17:40 |
| soadkombucha | clayg: If they're bothering you THAT much, but be careful not to mess anything up | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | soadkombucha: to see them appear again on the next automatic « update-grub » run | 17:40 |

| erUSUL | markitoxs: iftop ? | 17:56 |
| pizzledizzle | what's a good binary newsreader for linux cli? | 17:57 |
| DasEi | [manas]: I don't get the question full, yes you can delete crypted data w/o pass | 17:57 |
| [manas] | erUSUL, ntfs DasEi but how to recover data??? | 17:58 |
| babbageclunk | soadkombucha: I've done that and rebooted, but I still can't connect over wireless. What else do I need to do afterwards? | 17:58 |
| DasEi | markitoxs: installing trafshow is one solution, also check speedometer,networkanalyis (under system) | 17:58 |
| DasEi | [manas]: err ? delete or recover ? | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | [manas]: as i said the whole point of encrypted partritions is "no password; no data" | 17:59 |
| aloon | I tried at one point to get rid of KDE , and now in terminal I get "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" , is there a way I can cancel those programs being removed ? | 17:59 |

| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: Hold on | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | aloon: you can try to mark them as manually installed... i think aptitude can do that | 17:59 |
| erUSUL | aloon: not know exactly how though | 18:00 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: paste those commands: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/456003/ | 18:00 |
| aloon | I think what I did was uninstall one kde thing in synaptic | 18:00 |
| DasEi | [manas]: more precise, what do want to do ? | 18:00 |
| [manas] | DasEi, erUSUL i want to delete and it will be good to recover but i dont remember pass | 18:00 |
| aloon | and it wants to get rid of all the rest | 18:00 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: It should work then | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | [manas]: to delete a partition you can use any partition editor like gparted; to recover data from a encripted partition you need the password | 18:01 |
| DasEi | [manas]: you might then back it up for a later remembrance, else data is lost unless pass is weak and you want to crack it | 18:02 |
| markitoxs | DasEi, using trafshow i can see the port thats being used, but how to check the process? | 18:03 |
| erUSUL | markitoxs: sudo lsof -i :portnumber | 18:03 |
| markitoxs | erUSUL, thx | 18:04 |
| [manas] | DasEi, erUSUL to crack will take time and its 1TB to back up, how i can delete it?? | 18:04 |
| markitoxs | why the hell would pulseuadio stream 55k' s per second to this ip? 224.0.0.56:46436 | 18:04 |
| DasEi | markitoxs: top , better htop, then F& to sort | 18:04 |
| DasEi | F6 * | 18:04 |
| DasEi | [manas]: you might then back it up for a later remembrance, else data is lost unless pass is weak and you want to crack it | 18:05 |
| erUSUL | markitoxs: someone is listening to what you ar listening ? see what programs are using pulseaudio ? | 18:05 |
| DasEi | [manas]: sorry, typo ^ , use gparted to re-format that parti | 18:06 |
| [manas] | Thanks | 18:06 |
| soadkombucha | babbageclunk: any luck | 18:07 |
| markitoxs | erUSUL, that is SO weird, im not listening to anything on my system | 18:07 |

| DasEi | ace_: last you said you wanted aa bootable usb stick ? well, for repair, burn an alternate cd (right 386 or 6) | 19:02 |

| sizzlefire | soadkombucha: what should I run to detect that | 19:31 |
| benpro | suicidepills: smbd is a deamon which launch process | 19:31 |

| soadkombucha | Hmm I don't know. | 19:31 |
| suicidepills | benpro, what is the samba process for? | 19:31 |
| sizzlefire | if I try to do anything, it just says "Waiting for system sound to respond" and it never responds | 19:32 |

| Guest7382 | what comments | 19:36 |
| Merman | It's wrong, though. It says I can do 2048x1536 as a max, but the max I can do is 1920x1080. And even when I switch it to that resolution, 1920x1080, it's still too wide and long | 19:36 |

| oCean_ | __Adam__: route del -net 192.168.55.0/23 gw 0.0.0.0 | 20:26 |
| _2 | errr ^ /24 | 20:26 |
| Ego_Proctor | DexterF you want the monitors to mirror each other? | 20:26 |
| __Adam__ | ty | 20:27 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: if you look at both commands, you may grasp the syntax of the command :) | 20:27 |
| ramuday | _2 when i did that apt-get install -f i got the follwing error ---- w not using locking for read only lock file var lib dpkg lock | 20:27 |
| DexterF | Ego_Proctor: well, not literally ;) but yes | 20:27 |
| __Adam__ | yes i hav used it in windows | 20:27 |
| Ego_Proctor | DexterF sudo nvidia-settings and choose your options there. | 20:27 |
| DexterF | Ego_Proctor: that's.. too easy :) | 20:27 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: sorry, it is not /23 but /24 in your case | 20:27 |
| __Adam__ | done :) | 20:27 |
| _2 | ramuday ok your root file system is mounted readonly. probably a file system checking error. | 20:27 |
| Ego_Proctor | DexterF then have fun setting up the xorg.conf manually | 20:27 |

| m1r | hello | 20:28 |
| brown12 | I have a problem w a laptop. The laptop has been trying to wake itself from sleep to connect wifi. Shouldn't be doing that. Searching the forums, I have mostly found problems where "wireless won't connect after sleep," but nothing like "wireless wakes laptop from sleep." | 20:28 |
| Guest7382 | Kurogane, synaptic | 20:28 |
| brown12 | Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. | 20:28 |
| Uboy | Hi EveryBody | 20:28 |
| Linux | I have ubuntu linux and windows 7 installed on my computer how do i get rid of windows 7? | 20:28 |
| Uboy | Hi sebsebseb | 20:28 |
| ramuday | _2 thanks not sure what i must do let me try a google | 20:28 |
| Guest7382 | Linux, y | 20:28 |
| icedtea | DexterF: what he said but there should be an icon for nvidia settings in System->Administration->NVidia X Server Settings | 20:28 |
| Kurogane | Guest7382: how? | 20:28 |
| Ego_Proctor | DexterF good luck finding anyone that will be able or willing to help with that... | 20:28 |
| __Adam__ | last time i update linux! | 20:29 |
| Guest7382 | Kurogane, do you have update manager | 20:29 |
| Linux | because windows is gay! | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Linux: stop that now | 20:29 |
| Linux | stop what | 20:29 |
| icedtea | lol | 20:29 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__ have you checked the IP address of the target machine? Is the interface up? | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Linux: check your pm's | 20:29 |
| Uboy | hi sebsebseb | 20:29 |
| IdleOne | Linux: pop in a live cd use gparted to format the windows partition | 20:29 |
| Kurogane | Guest7382: but i don't install X | 20:29 |
| Kurogane | don't want* | 20:29 |
| __Adam__ | yes it can access the internet, juts nothing internal | 20:30 |
| bodzilla | Linux pejoratives are not cool | 20:30 |
| warri | i just installed UNR on my Acer AspireOne D260, however my battery will not charge | 20:30 |
| warri | anyone have any ideas? | 20:30 |
| Guest7382 | brown12, turn off wireless | 20:30 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: You could try a "/sbin/ip route flush cache", but don't expect to much. If you want to debug further, install "tcpdump" then we can see how traffic is travelling | 20:30 |
| _2 | ramuday you might start with fsck `mount | grep ' / ' | grep dev | cut -d' ' -f1` | 20:30 |
| __Adam__ | ok | 20:30 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, I take it that it worked before you upgraded? | 20:30 |
| _2 | i have to run. | 20:30 |
| __Adam__ | yes it all worked | 20:31 |
| SlidingHorn | I don't believe that Windows prefers the company of other same-sex OS -- therefor it is not "gay" -- if you are displeased with Windows, feel free to say so -- elsewhere. | 20:31 |
| brown12 | Guest7382, that would certainly work. Are there any settings related to wireless that I could have configured wrong? | 20:31 |
| __Adam__ | i could access http and https internally | 20:31 |
| brown12 | I'd prefer not to have to disable/enable on every standby/resume. | 20:31 |
| __Adam__ | still unreachable | 20:31 |
| __Adam__ | you can access it by browsing www.witwicki.co.uk | 20:31 |
| __Adam__ | this is madness! | 20:31 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: Please don't flood, ease up on the enter key. Try "sudo apt-get install tcpdump" | 20:32 |
| warri | I take it no one has any ideas on how to get UNR to charge my battery. | 20:32 |
| Ego_Proctor | it almost sounds like __Adam__'s issue is with the upgraded machine and not the others. Like it doesn't know how route to the LAN, but if they are all on a switched network that shouldn't matter. | 20:33 |
| __Adam__ | cant do that oCean_ not yet anyway | 20:33 |
| __Adam__ | started update from 9.10 to 10.04 | 20:33 |
| __Adam__ | based on previous advice here | 20:33 |
| RRRRRRRRRR | grub2 freezes my computer; i am forced to downgrade to grub1; anyone know why? | 20:34 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: wait, tcpdump might be default. Do you have /usr/sbin/tcpdump ? | 20:34 |
| Guest7382 | helpbuntu is offline | 20:34 |
| brown12 | Guest7382--thanks again, I'll try to find a forum to post the problem to. | 20:34 |
| __Adam__ | yes i go oCean_ :) | 20:34 |
| __Adam__ | um do | 20:34 |
| Guest7382 | brown12, np | 20:35 |
| warri | I just installed 10.04 Netbook Remix onto my BrandNew AcerAspire One d260 and for some reason my battery wont charge, i tried running the hardware drivers but none were found. | 20:35 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: ok. Do "sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 icmp" | 20:35 |
| icedtea | whats the ubuntu channel for offtopic chat? | 20:35 |
| vu1kan | icedtea: #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:35 |

| icedtea | doh! | 20:35 |
| SlidingHorn | -d | 20:35 |
| __Adam__ | its listening oCean_ | 20:35 |
| vu1kan | (we all have facepalm moments) | 20:36 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: great, now ping it, from one of the machines on the local subnet, see if a requests is coming in | 20:36 |
| daer | anyone know whats wrong when i cant run spotify under wine? | 20:36 |
| icehawk78 | I've got a usb drive with folders that, for some reason, won't respond to sudo chown (everything is currently owned by root). And idea how to fix that or figure out why? | 20:36 |
| __Adam__ | not from laptop > host | 20:37 |
| __Adam__ | they are going out | 20:37 |
| __Adam__ | not inbound, but it is loging an outbound | 20:37 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, outbound ICMP? | 20:37 |
| codebrainz | hi. any way to get just a regular volume icon without "indicator-applet"? | 20:37 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: your incoming request is probably on eth0 ?? | 20:38 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: is your eth0 configured to be in local subnet? | 20:38 |
| __Adam__ | no its a wifi connection | 20:38 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: you say there is no incoming traffic on wlan0, but you see outbound (ICMP reply) traffic? | 20:38 |
| __Adam__ | yes oCean_ | 20:38 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: then my guess is, there is inbound traffic on eth0 | 20:38 |
| Guest7382 | helpbuntu is online | 20:39 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: so, break off the tcpdump on wlan0 and start tcpdump -i eth0 icmp | 20:39 |
| JULinuxUser | how do I edit the Grub2? | 20:39 |
| JULinuxUser | I need to get it to start Windows XP by default | 20:39 |
| __Adam__ | nothing on eth0 (it is not connected) | 20:39 |
| Guest7382 | ask a question or say qotd for quote of the day. | 20:39 |
| __Adam__ | tcpdump is showing nothing | 20:39 |
| oCean_ | !ot | Guest7382 | 20:39 |

| JULinuxUser | Hey anyone out there help me with the GRUB? | 20:40 |

| kroson | hi. Does anybody use PlayonLinux? | 20:40 |
| daer | yea | 20:40 |
| codebrainz | vulkan, any way without using the miscolored indicator thing that snatches up my notification icons? | 20:40 |
| __Adam__ | oCean_, i send a ping from cacti from the affected host, its i see the request then i see the reply | 20:41 |
| codebrainz | JULinuxUser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 20:41 |
| kroson | daer: do you use it? | 20:41 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: what? | 20:41 |
| kroson | Does anybody use PlayonLinux? | 20:41 |
| __Adam__ | oCean_, I do not see the ping origanting from my laptop > affected host | 20:42 |
| dkulchenko | Hi all! My Lucid netbook has been consistently hard-locking at random intervals. Even if I set Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to terminate X, nothing happens. It seems the keyboard and mouse are completely disabled. If sound is playing when it locks, it falls into a 2-second loop. I have to press and hold the power button to get out. kern.log shows nothing interesting. How can I troubleshoot this? | 20:42 |
| Ego_Proctor | kroson you might also try #linux | 20:42 |
| kroson | Ego_Proctor: tks XD | 20:42 |
| __Adam__ | local subnet isnt working, but the affected host is fine accessing anything after the router (gw | 20:42 |
| arand | JULinuxUser: You use GRUB_DEFAULT="Exact name of entry" to set an order-independent default e.g. GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" | 20:43 |
| Ego_Proctor | oCean_, that sounds like an ACL to me... Unless it is an issue with the WiFi connection, like he is using a different access point than the lap top and the network core is not relaying the messages.... | 20:43 |
| arand | Aw, bummer... | 20:43 |
| __Adam__ | its the same AP | 20:44 |
| __Adam__ | i only have one | 20:44 |
| === david is now known as Guest84135 | ||
| __Adam__ | it worked before i upgraded | 20:44 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: let me recap: if you start tcpdump on wlan0 on the server, and then ping this server, you DON't see "ICMP echo request" but you DO see an "ICMP echo reply" | 20:45 |
| ManDay | I'm trying to install from the alternate (no GUI) installer from a thumb drive on a netbook but the installer coerces me to select/load a CD-Rom module! How can I tell it to use the thumbdrive?! | 20:46 |
| __Adam__ | sort of | 20:46 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, can you pastebin the tcpdump? | 20:46 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: haha, sort of is not possible with ICMP. There's request and reply | 20:46 |
| __Adam__ | start tcpdump on wlan0 on the server, and then ping this server, you DON't see "ICMP echo request" but you DO see an "ICMP echo reply" | 20:46 |
| __Adam__ | correct | 20:47 |
| mxe5 | What is best version of Java to install for Frostwire to work? | 20:47 |
| __Adam__ | and when the server pings a remote host say google i do see a reply | 20:47 |
| mxe5 | Have partner repo checked. | 20:47 |
| andrei_ | Hi again. Problem. I reinstalled ubuntu doing a clean install on a hard drive. But the guru shows 2 difrent 10.04 installed. The first is not connecting to the network and the second has faulty display(one that im running now) | 20:47 |
| === andrew_ is now known as Guest76787 | ||
| om26er | ManDay, afaik alternate installer does not behave well with usb boots | 20:48 |
| __Adam__ | that still didnt make sense, laptop pings host, host tcpdump dosnt see the request | 20:48 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: as Ego_Proctor asked, can you show us the tcpdump output? (pastebin?) | 20:48 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: wait | 20:48 |
| __Adam__ | host pings google, tcpdump can see request and reply | 20:48 |
| gothenburg | :p | 20:48 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: nvm, just show us the tcpdump when pinged from local net | 20:48 |
| ubuntu | Hi I just installed 10.04, and my pc doesnt boot on the hd. I created a /boot partition at the beginning (sda1), and it is flagged as bootable if I check with fdisk or gparted. Grub infos seem ok. And I tried the disk as 1st and 2nd startup device in Bios. Has anyone a suggestion on what to check ? | 20:49 |
| __Adam__ | the output is blank oCean_ ..... | 20:49 |
| ManDay | om26er, thanks for the reply | 20:49 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: no, you said that you saw "ICMP echo reply" | 20:49 |
| ManDay | I tried to point it to /dev/sdb as my "Cddrive" which is the stick but it still failed | 20:49 |
| __Adam__ | when the host pinged a remote host on the internet it saw a reply | 20:50 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__ instead of doing a tcpdump | pastebin, copy and paste the output manually and drop it in the pastebin website... | 20:50 |
| BluesKaj | mxe5, frostwire is clunky at best with even the latest java versions | 20:50 |
| vu1kan | codebrainz: all i could find is asmix, there might be one but i'm tired of looking through synaptic | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu: Could you pastebin the output from this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ ? | 20:51 |
| ubuntu | th cd boots ok, the hd shows at startup, but then seems to be ignored as startup device.. | 20:51 |
| __Adam__ | http://pastebin.com/XNnhJ0xh | 20:51 |
| ubuntu | ok | 20:51 |
| brutus | hi, I'm not getting any audio using VLC, but other players work fine...what's the problem? | 20:51 |
| codebrainz | vu1kan, ok thanks for looking, I think I'll just code one in python | 20:51 |
| c3l | how can I set a different color on my input to the terminal, so that I easier can separate commands from output when reading in the terminal? | 20:52 |
| c3l | talking about colorizing what I type, not \u \h \w | 20:52 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: ok, so: there is NO sign of incoming request whatsoever when you ping the server from other machine on local net | 20:52 |
| arand | ManDay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Known%20Issues | 20:52 |
| __Adam__ | correct | 20:52 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: in that case, it's not the server | 20:52 |
| arand | ManDay: "If you get "Incorrect CD-ROM detected" error on detection stage, reboot, press F6 and then ESC to go to manual boot line editing, and add the option 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true'. On Ubuntu 9.10 server edition the install menu will be shown right after reboot. Chose "Help" and then press F6. At the boot prompt type "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" and hit enter. " | 20:52 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: the ICMP traffic is dropped somewhere along the route | 20:52 |
| mduffor | Could someone help me diagnose a network problem? I tried installing vpnc and it hosed my ethernet connection. The eth0 interface is connected to my router (I can access the router setup page via the IP number), but my machine can't look up any URL names and translate them to the IP address. | 20:53 |
| __Adam__ | from all my internal hosts, ? | 20:53 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, what kind of network do you have? | 20:53 |
| __Adam__ | after an upgrade | 20:53 |
| __Adam__ | 100 ethernet, with wifi | 20:53 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, I mean hardware wise, sorry | 20:53 |
| IceChat_7_ | Xchat has a bug in listing rooms it freezes on a big list | 20:53 |
| Black_Prince | __Adam__ what is in your /etc/resolv.conf file? | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | c3l, check settings/current profile /appearance in the terminal | 20:54 |
| vu1kan | codebrainz: that's not to say that there isn't one...there may be, i just couldn't find it | 20:54 |
| __Adam__ | netgear router DG834g | 20:54 |
| pgeyleg | can anyone help me with grub? | 20:54 |
| pgeyleg | i reinstalled windows and my linux boot menu is gone | 20:54 |
| Black_Prince | pgeyleg what is your problem | 20:54 |
| oCean_ | __Adam__: you have no incoming request on your interface. So, the traffic does not even reach one of your interfaces | 20:55 |
| Ego_Proctor | __Adam__, and all other hosts can ping each other? | 20:55 |
| SlidingHorn | IceChat_7_, not a bug...takes a long time to pull large lists...either way though, that's probably more a topic for #xchat | 20:55 |
| __Adam__ | YES | 20:55 |
| codebrainz | vu1kan, me either, it seems to missing altogether from the repos. also none of my pidgin/transmission/xchat icons show in the notification area applet. bummer | 20:55 |
| __Adam__ | i can ping the other desktop from my laptop | 20:55 |
| pgeyleg | Black_Prince: i booted from live cd ubuntu 10.4 | 20:55 |
| c3l | BluesKaj: I want to make an terminal indepentend setting. eg editing the .bashrc file, but I can only find how to colorize \u@\h:\w\$ input is not colorized, and if I set some ansii color code at the end of that line it will stick for the output too | 20:55 |

| __Adam__ | yes the server is quite happy, its responding on 80 | 20:56 |
| duffydack | I guess they dont like being up for days on end | 20:57 |
| __Adam__ | sorry server=router | 20:57 |

| Uboy | Alan502: if u have already any driver ENVY will Update it to latest, normally ENVY isn't in repositories | 21:11 |
| afroman | duffydack: thx. I wished I had known that 1 hour ago... ;) | 21:11 |
| Alan502 | Jordan_U, Yeah, but the NVIDIA driver on the repositories does not support multiple monitors | 21:12 |
| Uboy | Alan502: No, it isn't in repositories, google it and find that | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | Alan502: If you're having problems with multiple monitors specifically I doubt that the problem is that your nvidea driver is out of date. | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | Alan502: Yes, it does. | 21:12 |
| Alan502 | Jordan_U, the one on the repositories is 197 and the lastest NVIDIA has released is 256 :\ | 21:13 |
| afroman | duffydack: is there any big differences bettween vlc 1.1. and 1.0? | 21:13 |
| Alan502 | Jordan_U, hmmm weird, but i could install the nvidia driver in 9.10 without any problems, and i could configure multiple monitors correctly. I can't with 10.4 though | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | Uboy: envy started out as an app outside the repos, then it became envy-ng and was officially supported and in the repos, now (with 10.04 onward) envy is not supported at all. | 21:14 |
| cyban | Does Ubuntu support Synthetic Device Drivers? Specifically for Hyper V? | 21:14 |
| Alan502 | Uboy, ok thanks :) i'm afraid envyng could mess since, according to Jordan_U is not recommended | 21:14 |

| codebrainz | vu1kan, i figured it out. remove package indicator-applet, add gnome-volume-control-applet to startup programs | 21:14 |
| ManDay_ | om26er, thanks for the reply | 21:14 |
| ManDay_ | I'm trying to install from the alternate (no GUI) installer from a thumb drive on a netbook but the installer coerces me to select/load a CD-Rom module! How can I tell it to use the thumbdrive?! | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | Alan502: What happens when you try to configure multiple monitors. | 21:14 |
| Uboy | Jordan_U: ok dude, u write | 21:15 |
| Uboy | alan502: ok, I'm too | 21:15 |
| Uboy | Jordan_U: so how can I update my version to 256? | 21:15 |
| vu1kan | codebrainz: nifty...but that would remove my handy tray access for rhythmbox | 21:15 |
| Alan502 | Jordan_U, i can run nvidia-settings and configure my second monitor to run as a separate x screen | 21:15 |
| codebrainz | vu1kan, i dunno, but all my icons now show up properly in the notification area | 21:16 |
| Jordan_U | ManDay_: Easiest thing to do is to use the netboot installer. Everything the installer needs is contained in the kernel + initrd so it doesn't need to look for any device at all (gets everything else from the net) | 21:16 |
| fuchyst | selam | 21:16 |
| Alan502 | Jordan_U, but the problem is that when i save x and reboot, the screen is there but its all black, and when i move my mouse to it it appears as an X-shaped cursor | 21:16 |

| afroman | Ego_Proctor: that's not what I meant. clean installation or upgrade? does it even matter? | 21:47 |
| SlidingHorn | robertzaccour, if you're running gnome, then the gnome-panel's already installed. try running: killall gnome-panel | 21:48 |

| Jordan_U | Uboy: Seems fine to me. | 21:54 |
| Dapeamel | what the difference?. Im on a comp which have 6gb ram intel quadcore 2. | 21:54 |

| suicidepills | zenlunatic, sorry i'm kind of a linux noob :-P | 21:59 |
| pw-toxic | is there an alternative to ebox? ;) | 21:59 |
| jbl_ | suicidepills, compare the permissions of /home vs permissions of the folders you can share | 21:59 |
| ferdi | hello | 21:59 |
| zenlunatic | suicidepills, wait arent those the same thing | 21:59 |
| suicidepills | zenlunatic, for example, i can share /test-share but i can't share /home/test-share | 22:00 |
| SlidingHorn | livingdaylight, vlc has jukebox capability. takes some configuring but it will work | 22:01 |
| zenlunatic | suicidepills, you use the samba gui toolS? | 22:01 |
| suicidepills | zenlunatic, nah, i've been going all cmdline - trying to become proficient in it | 22:01 |
| zenlunatic | personally i would recommend the gui tools for samba | 22:01 |
| livingdaylight | SlidingHorn: ok, I didn't know that | 22:01 |
| suicidepills | zenlunatic, actually, i didn't know that there were gui tools for samba | 22:01 |
| pozic | Is there a decent browser which includes the Google Chrome features, but does not contain the broken toolbar font that they have (non-configurable)? | 22:02 |
| ferdi | hi lizza | 22:02 |
| SlidingHorn | pozic, firefox has a similar "multibar" that you can configure. what problem are you having? | 22:02 |
| zenlunatic | suicidepills, try apt-get install gadmin-samba | 22:03 |
| jbl_ | suicidepills, compare the output of "ls -ld /home" and "ls -ld /test-share" | 22:03 |

| suicidepills | jbl_, both have identical perms | 22:05 |
| SlidingHorn | pozic, well to be honest, any "feature-rich" browser (i.e. having a multibar, and other stuff) is going to be a bit sluggish.... | 22:06 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: the multi-bar is not what I mean by Google Chrome features. | 22:06 |
| jbl_ | suicidepills, how about "ls -ld /home/test-share" ? | 22:06 |
| livingdaylight | how do I join a new network? | 22:06 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: I mean the features that make Chrome appear fast. | 22:06 |
| Hardekyn | Thanks Jordan_U I'll give it a go...been trying just using gParted from the running install...appreciate it :) | 22:06 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: which Google had some presentations about in the past. | 22:06 |
| livingdaylight | forward slash + # networkname? | 22:06 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: the multi-bar only makes it slower. | 22:07 |
| Jordan_U | Hardekyn: You're welcome. | 22:07 |
| psuasti_ | that would disconnect you from the old server livingdaylight | 22:07 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: but not by an annoying amount; the other optimizations done destroy Firefox completely. | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | pozic, oh...well -- there are tons of lightweight browsers out there, kazahakaze (sp?), midori, links, etc | 22:07 |

| wad | Hi folks. I'm replacing my debian-based server with an Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit server edition. The machine has two NICs in it, one of which needs to use PPPOE to talk with the DSL modem. Should I use pppoeconf or something else? (This box has no network until I get pppoe running.) | 22:10 |
| slide | So I currently have a file server with specific samba shares for movies/tv/music etc but all my files are quickly outpacing the individual storage of my drives so I need some way to access these files via their current samba share but having the files located on any number of drives. can anyone help? | 22:10 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm | 22:10 |
| pozic | If you hide latency, even the largest programs will appear light-weight. | 22:10 |
| SlidingHorn | pozic: we're veering off topic, but I'd disagree to a point....yes there are plenty of browsers that claim to be lightweight but are as bloated as the next...however there are some good, small-footprint ones available. anyway...on to the next topic :-) | 22:10 |
| Psi-Jack | What does Wubi's "ACPI workarounds" use for kernel options? | 22:10 |
| wad | slide: Use symbolic links. That's what I do. | 22:10 |
| pozic | It is just that people don't tend to optimize for that particular case. | 22:11 |
| pozic | SlidingHorn: yes, sure, next topic. | 22:11 |
| Sinani201 | ... | 22:11 |
| brontoeee | wad, and they would work over samba? | 22:11 |
| wad | brontoeee, sure do. | 22:11 |
| suicidepills | jbl_, i think i just figured it out | 22:12 |
| slide | wad, not a bad idea, except managing the links could become annoying hrm.. maybe i could write a script to auto scan the dirs and auto add links depending on what filetype they are | 22:12 |
| wad | brontoeee, samba asks the OS for the directories, and the OS understands symbolic links. QED. | 22:12 |
| brontoeee | right, i know they dont work with ftp | 22:12 |
| suicidepills | jbl_, i didn't realize that each user has a separate dir for their stuff | 22:12 |
| psuasti_ | what versions of ubuntu work well for laptops? specifically a 32 bit laptop | 22:12 |
| wad | psuasti_, 10.04. | 22:12 |

| linux_is_my_hero | how do i download 9.10? 10.04 has some issues i dont like | 22:16 |
| jbl_ | loopidity, in that case, you'll need all the dependencies that cheese requires. Not that easy w/o net access... | 22:16 |
| hardcampa | err should have been local not Local | 22:16 |

| Gryllida | what is the proper syntax to do gksu? "gksu path/to/application" or is there something else necessary to write? | 22:17 |
| brontoeee | psuasti_, and thats only ever usefull for smallscreen laptops anyway | 22:17 |
| loopidity | jbl_, got an error, my intltool is too old, oh no | 22:17 |
| IdleOne | sorry bout all the modes folks hopefully we won't have to set anymore bans for today | 22:17 |
| ubutom_ | brontoeee, disagree on that one, netbook desktop in lubuntu is very nice, easy access to applications | 22:17 |
| hiexpo | are ya banning today | 22:18 |
| jbl_ | loopidity, hmm no absolute answer there, but you could try "lsusb" and google the USB id's of the webcam to see if there's a linux driver for it | 22:18 |
| SlidingHorn | Gryllida, what program are you trying to run? | 22:19 |
| loopidity | jbl_, sounds good, i will see, thanks | 22:19 |
| Gryllida | SlidingHorn: don't know whether it really changes the syntax - but it's firefox | 22:19 |
| brontoeee | ubutom_, that it or something else than gui differences? | 22:19 |
| SlidingHorn | Gryllida, why do you want to run firefox as root???? | 22:19 |

| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok, now I'm run install from Desktop? | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: yes | 22:37 |
| codebrainz | rrva, I reduced about 8hrs off my install time by changing the mirrors in /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:37 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and do what I said before | 22:37 |
| rrva | codebrainz: all files are already downloaded, it's just replacing packages which is taking time, i/o bound not network | 22:38 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok so setting up an account comes later on in the installer? | 22:39 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok, i'm in partitionig | 22:40 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: installer doesn't arive to setting Up usernames and pass, it just in step 5 > partition | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: before getting rid of this question. Were you able to boot into Ubuntu or just not recovery mode? | 22:40 |
| drbobb | what I mean is I connect a usb drive and it is not recognized as a mass storage device - until I manually modprobe usb_storage - and then it works | 22:40 |
| preben_ | what is the package called that has a program where you can change the grub boot setup. I mean resolution and which OS to be default etc... | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: the swap is fine, so that can stay, the other partitions should be deleted. If there was data you would lose it after doing that, but you told me there isn't any. | 22:41 |
| drbobb | and likewise with the usb network device | 22:41 |
| ikonia | preben_: I'm not aware of such a package | 22:41 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: just recovery mode, but my pass does't work and becouse of I do it manually login, it didin't want me a pass | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok well that will be fixed after this as well | 22:42 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: yes 3 partitions | 22:47 |
| Uboy | ok. | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: swap should probably really be made last | 22:47 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok | 22:47 |
| ubutom_ | hey, what's the way again to make the system talk at bootup, you know, the initialize hardware text and so on, did i do that in grub.conf? | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: so 1. / 2. /home 3. swap | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: first make 12GB / partition in Ext4 file system | 22:48 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb:ok, so I can't creart SWAp in larger space? | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: making partitions like this is basic maths as well, and I use calculater for that :D | 22:48 |
| vu1kan | ubutom_: i use espeak to have my system say "good morning"...i dunno if that would do what you want tho | 22:48 |
| hiexpo | repeat of last night ? | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: 1024 is 1GB and we want 12GB so 1024 x 12 = 12288 | 22:49 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: oh wrong sum | 22:49 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: :d, so tell me a type (Primary or Logical) and (End or begining) ? | 22:49 |
| soee | in KDE 4.5 RC1 there is no longer option to set icon size in QuickLauncher ? | 22:49 |
| soee | soz not here | 22:50 |
| ubutom_ | vu1kan, thanks, no, I mean the verbose bootup where you see what the system does, somehow I disabled splashscreen and dont remember how | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | ubutom_: no that seems to be right for the size 12288 it shows you how big it would make the partition, before applying anyway | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | ubutom_: / and /home are primary partitions | 22:51 |
| DNSmith | does someone have keys for hon :) ? | 22:51 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: / is Primary and in Begiining, ? | 22:51 |

| hiexpo | ^encrypted | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: by the way make sure not to do an encrypted home, that can really mess up Ubuntu later on | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: just a seperate /home :) | 22:53 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, oh ok | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: and to fix his install as well, since something is rather wrong with it | 22:53 |
| sweetpi | ubutom_: you mean you want to see the boot messages? | 22:53 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, is he doing a fresh install | 22:53 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: did u see that? | 22:53 |
| ubutom_ | sweetpi, yeah, found it, thanks :) | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: yes | 22:54 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: and with seperate /home this time | 22:54 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, good thats best | 22:54 |

| sebsebseb | Gryllida: no I am saying don't run it with any of that. don't use sudo for FIrefox, don't use root on Firefox | 22:56 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: my question now is Primary or Logical and option (beginning or End) , please tell me setting for each of 3 partitions | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: DO NOT RUN FIREFOX AS ROOT, you have been warned many times. It's a terrible idea and there is no valid reason to do it. | 22:56 |

| piju | guys, hows ARRL's field day ? | 22:57 |
| Faissal | hello | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: If you want to use firefox from Mozilla's website (why?) then install it within your home directory. | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: have you told it to make the first partition yet? | 22:57 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: if so what does it say in manual install for it? | 22:58 |
| hugo_ | Hello, i have recently installed Ubuntu and i am wondering if there is any way to make the Terminal to auto start when you turn on your computer ? | 22:58 |
| Gryllida | Jordan_U: why - because I'm nightly tester; then install - done; but I don't want to download and install it in same way manually every time I want to update it. | 22:58 |
| cntrational | hugo_: go to system, preferences, and startup applications | 22:58 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: Then install to your home directory. | 22:58 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: you can show me in manual install if you want, and then we can move on to partition 2 the seperate /home | 22:59 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: I'm to select for / partition yet, just tell me setting for / ? primary or logical and end or begininh? | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: Then firefox will havve permissions to update all of the files that it needs to update. | 22:59 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: primary and at the begining | 22:59 |
| jbl_ | Gryllida, isn't the firefox PPA not good enough for what you need? | 22:59 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok | 22:59 |
| Gryllida | Jordan_U: it's in usr/local/, and since I don't have any session saved, home page is an about: page, so no danger in running it as root | 22:59 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: what you showed me just now is ok, except for how you didn't do a mount point, which is / | 22:59 |
| zpk | hi all | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: Don't put it in /usr/local, put it in your home directory. | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: also actsauly the size you put | 23:00 |
| Gryllida | jbl_: does it have the latest 3.7.a6pre version? if yes, tell me how to turn it on | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: isn't the one I gave | 23:00 |
| hugo_ | quit | 23:00 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok it's created with / point and with 12GB at the begining with type praimary | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: I gave you. 12288 | 23:00 |
| cntrational | hugo_: after that, click Add, put in Terminal as the name, and gnome-terminal as the command | 23:00 |
| cntrational | hugeand that's it | 23:00 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: you got 4GB RAM? well I did suggest keeping the RAM that was made for you before after using the installer, not to late to get it back | 23:15 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: nothing is applied yet | 23:15 |
| abuayyoub | ubutom_, no i havent. But I will. I was hoping there is some kinda utilty that can scan my compute rnad see what's going on... | 23:16 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: however last time you set up yourself didn't you, and didn't use the guided install? | 23:16 |
| ubutom_ | abuayyoub, logfile viewer could be useful too | 23:16 |
| Cynthia | Uboy: does 'ls -l /dev/ramzswap*' give you anything? | 23:16 |

| Venim | anyone know why upgrading to the latest version of 9.10 from the iso install made fullscreening videos break on the ATI proprietary drivers? | 23:17 |
| ubutom_ | abuayyoub, well, torrent is very heavy stress for hdd in general | 23:17 |
| Uboy | Cynthia > no such file or directory reported | 23:17 |
| ubutom_ | abuayyoub, many little files that have to be opened and saved and so on | 23:17 |
| abuayyoub | ubutom_, im using a program called NZBget its a beast but its not running now and im still getting these problems after a fresh reboot | 23:18 |
| Cynthia | Uboy: what does 'swapon -s' say? | 23:18 |
| Venim | worked perfectly from the install with the same driver | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | Cynthia: Hi :) right well if you missed it, this is what we are doing. He's going to re install Ubuntu with / and swap and seperate /home. and I want the SWAP to be the right size of course, and made last. 1. / which he done. 2. /home 3. swap | 23:18 |
| Cynthia | sebsebseb: oh | 23:18 |
| abuayyoub | ubutom_, top says I have 3 processes running and 182 asleep | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | Cynthia: so once I have the proper swap size, the rest isn't that difficult | 23:19 |
| Uboy | Cynthia: it says there is /dev/sda3 with 1952769 for size and partition for type | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | Cynthia: output of him doing free -m http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113220_terminal.png I tend to do stuff in GB not MB :D | 23:20 |
| ubutom_ | hm abuayyoub, dunno | 23:20 |
| Cynthia | Uboy: so you already have a swap partition... :) | 23:20 |
| * sebsebseb is thinking 8GB SWAP even if its a bit more than needed | 23:20 | |
| sebsebseb | Cynthia: his old swap partition is still on there, untill things are applyed, but that might also be the wrong size | 23:21 |
| jbl_ | abuayyoub, how do the %CPU and %MEM columns look like for the top 3 processes? | 23:21 |
| Cynthia | sebsebseb: Ok, I'll let you handle this | 23:21 |

| Cynthia | Uboy: perhaps Linux didn't see that yet, and you should issue 'sudo swapoff -a' | 23:22 |
| jub369 | hi i need some help install UnrealIrcd3.2.8.1 i tryed useing the fourms on it none of them are working i am willing to let a person do remote desktop it errors out and then when started if started i cant connect to it and i cant get configs right i running Ubuntu 9.10 | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok lets do this in gparted I think | 23:22 |
| jub369 | there | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: gparted first then finnish off in manual install | 23:22 |
| Uboy | ok. sepsepsep 1- run sudo swapoff -a commadn and then run gparted? | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: or lets leave room for 8GB of SWAP (which may be a bit more than needed) | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: 4GB RAM you sure? | 23:23 |

| sebsebseb | hiexpo: ok how big should his SWAP be? | 23:26 |
| Killaklown | reverebeer: i would recommend musca | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: 6GB? | 23:27 |
| hiexpo | i use 5 gig swap myself but most say 1 is ok | 23:27 |
| abuayyoub | sebsebseb, i think they usually reccoment someting liek 20 - 25% of your disk size. | 23:27 |
| Killaklown | sebsebseb: wrong | 23:27 |
| lietu | double the ram for swap is a very old advice... nowadays I'd say most people will run fine with 1-2GB, if that's not even too much | 23:27 |
| Error404NotFound | abuayyoub, trying avidemux | 23:27 |
| abuayyoub | sebsebseb, *recommend | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | abuayyoub: 6GB RAM for Uboy it seems, so how much you think he should do for SWAP? | 23:27 |
| reverebeer | Killaklown, yea, wikipedia has a nice overview of those. thanks! | 23:27 |
| Uboy | hiexpo: the picture shown 1 gb is using with Swap and 3 Gb is free, it means 4Gb, true? | 23:28 |

| Cynthia | (Repeat from 15 minutes ago) The package 'xchat' fails to build from source here; running 'sudo apt-get source xchat && sudo apt-get build-dep xchat', then running 'make' in the right directory, gives me "error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘gtk_xtext_get_type’". gcc seems to think that GtkType is not a valid type. What's wrong? | 23:28 |
| jbl_ | abuayyoub, I've had a similar problem and in my case, the gnome-do process was eating all my CPU and inducing the same symptoms you are seeing. | 23:28 |

| duffydack | doh | 23:28 |
| sweetpi | Uboy's ram from that image is 3gb | 23:28 |
| ubutom_ | duffydack, it's ICQ actually | 23:28 |
| duffydack | ubutom_, dont use msn | 23:28 |
| lietu | Uboy: you have 3G of RAM and 2GB of swap... if you have 4GB but the operating system says you've got 3, you're probably running a 32bit operating system | 23:29 |
| duffydack | ubutom_, dont use icq | 23:29 |
| ubutom_ | duffydack, wise advice | 23:29 |
| Uboy | lietu: yes I'm in 32 operating sysytem | 23:29 |
| lietu | Uboy: if you have a 64bit cpu, try a 64 bit version of the operating system to see if it can detect the 4GB | 23:29 |
| duffydack | ubutom_, actually I activated an old msn account the other day. I had hundreds of requests..ugh. Never had any such on google talk (gmail) | 23:29 |
| ubutom_ | duffydack, every other client allows to block unwanted requests | 23:29 |
| abuayyoub | jbl_, interesting. I also thought It could be something i installed I like to test out alot of beta stuff... | 23:29 |
| Uboy | lietu: no my CPu is 32bit | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and if the CD is all ok, and it doesn't boot then yeah 32bit | 23:30 |
| duffydack | ubutom_, true. Pidgin does also | 23:30 |
| hiexpo | 32 bit works better on a 64 bit sys | 23:30 |
| ubutom_ | well, seems I jsut have to use another client duffydack | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok lets install this then | 23:30 |
| abuayyoub | is there a utilitly that can scan and tell me if I got a hardware/software problem? | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: so 6GB SWAP or? | 23:30 |
| duffydack | I`m not really impressed by empathy, or ubuntu`s choice to use it. | 23:30 |
| hiexpo | i yse5 | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: same here | 23:30 |
| lietu | I prefer to have all my 6GB of RAM usable ;) ... besides, 64bit is pretty good thesedays | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: altough I haven't tried Empathy for well over a year | 23:30 |
| hardcampa | lol why would you ever need 6 gb swap | 23:30 |
| duffydack | its so lacking is so many ways I cant count them | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: and when I did it was rather breif | 23:30 |
| Gryllida | I'm trying to follow http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Updating+Firefox?s=update+firefox&as=s#Manually_check_for_updates and step 2 fails because I didn't run Firefox as root, while according to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Linux the installation directory is usr/local . How do I run Firefox as root? I tried gksu, but it didn't launch. | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | hardcampa: thats why I am asking | 23:30 |
| hardcampa | I you actually need 6 gb swap you NEED more memory | 23:30 |
| sebsebseb | hardcampa: how much he should have | 23:31 |
| hardcampa | sebsebseb, ok well thing is, noone can answer that as noone knows how you use your computer. | 23:31 |
| abuayyoub | jbl_, is there a utilitly that can scan and tell me if I got a hardware/software problem? | 23:31 |
| ubutom_ | yah, it'S pretty basic, pidgin as default was better imo | 23:31 |
| hiexpo | i use 5 because i operate many apps at one time but proballyfor him 1.5 would be ok | 23:31 |
| hardcampa | In general 512 mb or swap is enough | 23:31 |
| duffydack | sebsebseb, the notification sounds, what you can actually hear.. lol what a joke | 23:31 |
| lietu | Uboy: then there's Physical Address Extension that could allow you to use that 4GB of RAM, but I don't think it works THAT well, depends on the case I guess... and you might have to compile your own kernel | 23:31 |
| hardcampa | If your system starts to use more than that everything is going to crawl and you're going to hate your system anyway. | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: I think lets go with 6GB SWAP even though you don't really need that, plus no one can give a proper answer for how much SWAP | 23:31 |
| hardcampa | But I mean you might want that if you are fooling around with images. | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and you got the hard disk space | 23:32 |

| hiexpo | to much swap can cause the system to be slower | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: how much then? or shall we not bother | 23:32 |
| duffydack | Uboy, swap depends on your usage. I run a netbook with 1gig ram and no swap.. I run a few apps here and there, all good | 23:32 |
| lietu | sebsebseb: 1-2GB is fine for normal use | 23:32 |
| hardcampa | sebsebseb, look do you usually run out of ram? | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | hardcampa: no | 23:33 |
| duffydack | Uboy, best way is to run all of your apps you use, see what swap usage is, then set it to that. | 23:33 |
| jbl_ | abuayyoub, HW faults would tend to manifest themselves as system hang ups or random crashes. The symptoms you described make me think of a badly behaving piece of SW. | 23:33 |
| hardcampa | if not then give it whatever.. like 256mb would be enough | 23:33 |
| hiexpo | put 2 on it | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ok 2GB swap that should be ok | 23:33 |
| hardcampa | sebsebseb, there's also these tools that auto sizes the swap (if it's a file) | 23:33 |
| lietu | hiexpo: and the slowdown can be a result of the OS being optimized for low RAM or something, the use of swap can be tuned with swappiness | 23:33 |
| hardcampa | sebsebseb, depending on need | 23:33 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: however make that last | 23:33 |
| hiexpo | lietu, yes | 23:33 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb ok, now I'm in making 2nd partition for /home, what Type and what Place/ | 23:34 |

| hardcampa | sebsebseb, if you want check out swapspaced: Small, stable system add-on that continuously and automatically adapts available virtual memory space to your actual memory needs. | 23:34 |
| jbl_ | abuayyoub, but you can try to check your RAM using the "Memory test(memtest86+)" grub option when you start your computer. | 23:34 |
| hardcampa | swapspace* | 23:34 |
| abuayyoub | jbl_, yea I think so as well. Like I said the system works fine, it gets a little hot when its working hard but. I am thinking it has to do something with the powermanager, I have had alot of problems with power mngt on this machine and lucid. | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: hold on figuring out the size for /home | 23:34 |
| abuayyoub | jbl_, thats a good idea ill try that | 23:35 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: see my question? | 23:35 |
| abuayyoub | jbl_, what about HW scan? is there a prog out there that can give me a good scanning? | 23:35 |
| abuayyoub | lol | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: I am finnishing off something here from last night, so Uboy is the priority at the moment for me, when it comes to this | 23:35 |
| jbl_ | abuayyoub, I'm afraid Google or somebody else in here might be more knowledgeable than me about that... | 23:36 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: x 1024 yeah | 23:40 |
| duffydack | my pay packet * 1024 = mmmm nice | 23:40 |

| sebsebseb | Uboy: thats not the number I have | 23:42 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: u calculate for SWAP | 23:42 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: what I tried to do was start with your actsual hard disk size - 14GB. 12GB is the / yep. the other 2GB is the swap | 23:42 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: you do know to enter your user password for gksu right? | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: well whatever works, and you can see if it is right, before applying anyway | 23:43 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: point is you want about 2GB for swap, doesn't have to be exact | 23:43 |
| Gryllida | trism: I can elaborate... firefox's main files are the ones which should be changed only during updates, and whenever installing an addon / extension / running a java applet as normal user, there shouldn't be any access of them to firefox's installation directory. this is for better security, and now I just want to run it as root to update. | 23:43 |
| hardcampa | I always do / everything and a small swap normally. Don't see the point in making /home a separate partition (unless you put it on another bigger hd or something) | 23:43 |

| Uboy | sebsebseb: 12 GB for / , 2 Gb for SWAP, then 12+2 *1024 = 14336 so 320000-14336=305644 > the size of /home ? ok? | 23:47 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest13703 | ||
| sebsebseb | Uboy: you can try with the number you got, and you can try with mine, it will show at the top who was more correct, and then when its ok, you can make the swap, and apply and finnish the install | 23:47 |
| aurilliance | paranoidphreak, /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: well just try, and it shows as I said | 23:48 |
| aurilliance | paranoidphreak, if your using 10.04 it may have grub2 installed, check for the file I just mentioned | 23:49 |

| Uboy | sebsebseb: ok, so plz answer mu question dude > say Type (logical or Primary) and place (end or Beginning) for both /home and swap | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: / is fine. make /home next and leave the size for swap, then make swap, finnish isntall, done! | 23:49 |
| Cynthia | aurilliance: there's Main Menu, which is one icon, and Menu Bar, which is [img]Applications Places System | 23:50 |
| aurilliance | Cynthia, thanks! I didn't know that applet existed! | 23:50 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: /home is primary and at the beginning | 23:50 |
| erUSUL | aurilliance: there is an alternate menu you can add. right click on the panel choose add to panel. it is in the list of applets. then remove the original menu | 23:50 |
| aurilliance | erUSUL, thanks - got it now | 23:50 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and I guess you can't make swap primary and it has to be logical and I guess at the end | 23:50 |
| dawgs | i need to get some assistance installing an NVIDIA 370LP onto my freshly installed ubuntu 10.04 system pLEASE | 23:50 |
| aurilliance | dawgs, have you tried the hardware drivers application? | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: and show me manual install, before applying :) | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: before doing it for real | 23:51 |
| paranoidphreak | aurilliance: i found the file. should i edit "set default="0"" to something else if i want to load another OS by default? | 23:51 |
| Id3al | can I launch my ubuntu installation on hd2 from windows 7 installed in hd1 using a virtual box or is not possible? | 23:51 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi: ok, I figured out the path, it worked, but.... the application doesn't look any different, though I launched it as root, no warnings in its title or whatever. is it normal? | 23:51 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: I can chnange the options for SWAP, what is better? | 23:51 |
| aurilliance | dawgs, It should be in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: well they were suggesting 2GB for SWAP | 23:52 |
| dawgs | AURILLIANCE, it's not showing up under there, but the device is installed | 23:52 |
| paranoidphreak | aurilliance: i knew how to do it in menu.lst | 23:52 |
| ennui | does anyone know of a file browser that allows color coding of files/folders like in OSX's finder? I'm using nautilus right now and I must say the emblems just don't cut it | 23:52 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: and Type & Place? | 23:52 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: logical and end | 23:52 |
| aurilliance | paranoidphreak, I think so, if uncertain type "man grub" at a command line for help | 23:52 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: I think you have to go with | 23:52 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: not sure, ive never ran firefox as root. | 23:52 |
| Royall | once I edit .bashrc, how do I make the changes permanent (sic?)? | 23:52 |
| paranoidphreak | aurilliance: thanks alot | 23:52 |
| un214 | Royall: they already are | 23:52 |
| Royall | ah, thanks | 23:53 |
| aurilliance | paranoidphreak, note that it's best to edit that file though (see the comments at the top of it) | 23:53 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi: I think the system should put huge warnings into title of graphical apps that are running as root | 23:53 |
| aurilliance | paranoidphreak, np | 23:53 |
| bastid_raZor | Royall: after making changes you need to source it.. source ~/.bashrc ..and the changes last forever | 23:53 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: for swap | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | Royall: once you save the file the changes will stick... if you want to modify already running shelss you have to source the file in them | 23:53 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: you could always change the window title in about:config | 23:53 |
| aurilliance | dawgs, I"m not sure then sorry - hve you googeld it? are others having the same problems? | 23:53 |
| sebsebseb | un214: / and /home primary and begining, swap logical and end, that should work :) | 23:53 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: ^ | 23:53 |
| masteroffire | good evening/morning/what-time-ever everyone | 23:53 |
| aurilliance | masteroffire, , good morning | 23:54 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi: of course I could, but it would be same regardless it's running as root or not, which is what I expect the system to show by different titles | 23:54 |
| masteroffire | thank you, aurilliance | 23:54 |
| ocatacoo | does anyone know of a good resource on conguration of named.conf | 23:54 |
| orikon | does anyone know why filenames with special characters don't show up at all? I have some files with japanese characters I've installed all the language packs and restarted, but still nothing. seems to happen with other characters like umlauts, those don't show up either | 23:54 |
| Joran | hi guys, got a really weird problem hopefully someone will have come across because it's almost impossible to google about... | 23:54 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: here > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113302_3.png | 23:54 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi: anything I gksu, it has same appearance, so that I can just forget that I am running it as root? | 23:54 |
| un214 | ocatacoo: "The unix administraton handbook" | 23:54 |
| Joran | using hda audio, mic works but even with no headphones and no speakers attached, pulse is recording what is being output as well as what is being input | 23:55 |
| * aurilliance is afk | 23:55 | |
| lunks | Hi, I have a motherboard with an optical spidf output, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to get any sound trough it. Any help? | 23:55 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: about:config would only change it for the user running it(root in your case) | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | !away > aurilliance | 23:55 |
| ubottu | aurilliance, please see my private message | 23:55 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: no, gksu will not change the appearance | 23:55 |
| clayg | what is a good problem to put on a router that will limit the users per second download speed? like 50kb per sec per each user connected to a wifi connection? | 23:55 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi oh | 23:55 |
| omani | lunks, set volume in alsamixer? | 23:56 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: manual install > http://img23.img98.com/out.php/i113302_3.png | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | clayg: the router is a linux box already installed ? | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: Ok that looks good, but I wonder why the swap does not show in the bar. | 23:56 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi it's potential security issue | 23:56 |
| clayg | erUSUL, it will be | 23:56 |
| ocatacoo | un214: do you know of a free resource | 23:56 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: what is? | 23:57 |
| un214 | ocatacoo: I assume you tried man named.conf | 23:57 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi: that apps running as root don't look any different | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | clayg: probably router oriented distros like ipcop zeroshell shorewall etc... make that easier than ina stock diestro | 23:57 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: i think becouse that is very small | 23:57 |
| Uboy | :d | 23:57 |
| masteroffire | I've some trouble regarding Mozilla Thunderbird 3: I am here with some user who had Virus problems so I thought: Hey, let's try Ubuntu. Everything is fine so far, but I tried to copy the profile directory from a w*ndows partition... (this method worked fine for me when I switched to Ubuntu) but Thunderbird does not work right | 23:57 |
| maxxx | hi | 23:57 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: so a question | 23:57 |
| ocatacoo | named.conf is bind | 23:58 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: thats not a security problem, its a pebkac issue | 23:58 |
| Gryllida | sweetpi it means I can run file explorer or firefox or something as root, then forget, then hit a wrong button and erase some system directory or something | 23:58 |
| SlidingHorn | masteroffire, what's it doing incorrectly? any errors, etc? | 23:58 |
| ocatacoo | it brings up coreutil | 23:58 |
| ocatacoo | long long man | 23:58 |
| lunks | omani, have already tried :P | 23:58 |
| star314 | Hello, when unmounting my USB disc I'm getting the following error under Ubuntu 10.04: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/589/usbumounterror.jpg ... is this a known bug? | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: you made sure you made the swap ok? | 23:59 |
| Joran | Gryllida: when you first run as root, change the settings so it does look different then. | 23:59 |
| bahadunn | can you deploy vps systems within a ubuntu cloud? | 23:59 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: If in the future I wanna to use Windows as main OS, the /home partition does not shown in windows, what can I do then? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: SWAP isn't a normal partition so that could be it. | 23:59 |
| Joran | Gryllida: e.g. in Mint, the default root nautilus' window bg color is set to red | 23:59 |
| Uboy | sebsebseb: yes swap is created on sda5 | 23:59 |
| clayg | erUSUL, are those fairly easy to use? I'd like to have something that people can connect to my wireless router if i give them access but will be limited to 50kb per second speeds to one users can't slow everyone else down | 23:59 |
| sweetpi | Gryllida: i agree, but i also see no reason to run those as root in the first place | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | Uboy: thats a good thing, Windows shoudn't really be alloweed to access the /home for security reasons, lets say you get a proper nasty virus in Windows for example that deletes your data, well then it will delete what is in /home as well | 23:59 |
