| soadkombucha | Is it at all possible to remove panels from one workspace and not the others so one workspace shows ONLY the desktop? | 00:00 |
| DasEi | homiziado: you can just ask for possibilities for now, as the box isn't in reach, but if money isn't the issue, a tft will be best for such, or is it a lcd tv also on hdmi ? | 00:00 |
| maxwellian | Scoobydoo: I'm using Xfce, not Gnome, so I have to do a little translating here... | 00:00 |

| treble54 | with ubuntu (8.10 specifically atm), how do I set up dual monitors with different resolutions, not mirrored? is there a guide people usually recommend ? I have an intel 945 (or 965, I'm not exactly sure, but it is one of the two) graphics chipset | 00:02 |
| DasEi | homiziado: well.. don't know how far linux is on the latest developments, but then playing around with ssh and config is real promising | 00:02 |
| DasEi | treble54: nvidia is still doing it best, but might look : | 00:03 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: So after updating grub, burg is gone? Is that it? | 00:03 |

| robertzaccour | should i install 64 bit or 32 bit chrome browser? | 00:04 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, yes, i updated GRUB2 today and after the reboot, my BURG's gone :< | 00:04 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Depends on the processor you have... And Chrome 64 bit isn't out yet? | 00:04 |
| DasEi | robertzaccour: depends on your host OS | 00:04 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Is it actually uninstalled? Or just not running on startup? | 00:04 |
| robertzaccour | soadkombucha, yes it is look http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html | 00:05 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Hmm. | 00:05 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Chances are I have it installed already then | 00:05 |
| treble54 | whenever I connect a second monitor to my laptop, ubuntu detects it (using the application "Monitor Resolution Settings" or "Screen Resolution" in Control Center), but gives me this message when trying to apply any change outside of mirroring my laptop's screen: | 00:05 |
| treble54 | "Monitor Resolution Settings has detected that the virtual resolution must be set in your configuration file in order to apply your settings. Would you like Screen Resolution to set the virtual resolution for you? (Recommended)" | 00:05 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, no, it's installed.. it didnt got removed. It just got 'overwritten' by GRUB and doesnt load anymore. | 00:06 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg/ it seems burg-install might be your answer... | 00:06 |
| robertzaccour | soadkombucha, :D | 00:07 |
| ftn | Hey there. I remember that in previous versions kazehakase was in the repos but I can't find it in lucid. Do you know where can I find it?, please | 00:07 |
| Alan502_ | Hi | 00:07 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Haha. I'm currently installing a Windows XP VBox and I'm going to run it seamlessly. | 00:07 |
| Alan502_ | ubuntu is not using the correct interface to connect to the internet for some apps | 00:07 |
| homiziado | DasEi sorry for the delay, just plugged everything and am in recovery mode | 00:08 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, thanks. Im gonna reboot (damn thats the only way :< ) and i'll come back with the results.. thanks for your time :D | 00:08 |
| DasEi | homiziado: fine , I just read up some more about caky, it also has dvi then | 00:08 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Hold on... | 00:08 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Is burg-emu of any use? | 00:09 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, Dont think so, it just emulates how burg will look. | 00:09 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Which interface is the "correct" one, and which one do you think is being used instead? | 00:09 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Okay, good luck! | 00:09 |
| DasEi | homiziado: is it connected to internet, too ? | 00:09 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, cheers, thanks :) | 00:09 |
| Alan502_ | ppp0, and i think apps are tyring to connect using eth0 | 00:09 |

| robertzaccour | chrome is just fine now yay | 00:10 |
| robertzaccour | removed chromium | 00:10 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Woot. | 00:10 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: They're the same thing | 00:10 |
| treble54 | DasEi: even though I do not have an nvidia graphics chipset, can I still use the nvidia program to manage my dual monitor setup ? | 00:10 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, the reason why i think they are using eth0 is because when i disconnect eth0 everything works fine | 00:10 |
| homiziado | DasEi i don't think so but i have wifi | 00:10 |
| robertzaccour | soadkombucha, thats weird, chromium was buggy, but chrome isn't | 00:10 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, but when i connect it i can't use the internet | 00:10 |
| homiziado | DasEi should be able to connect if from wifi but not configured | 00:10 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: Yeah but the only difference between the two is a different colored logo and Chrome has Google Tracking | 00:11 |
| DasEi | treble54: no, bu there are ways to configure xorg for dualhead.. mm onboard chips might be a hassle | 00:11 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Does it affect every application, or just your browser? | 00:11 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, every application | 00:11 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Really, your apps are not going to know which interface they're using. | 00:11 |
| DasEi | homiziado: there is a router present providing dhcp ? | 00:11 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Has this setup worked before? | 00:11 |
| NitzchONot | maxwellian, thanks mate, "burg-install" worked! Cheers:D | 00:11 |
| maxwellian | NitzchONot: Great news! Have fun! | 00:12 |
| DasEi | homiziado: sudo dhclientt | 00:12 |
| homiziado | DasEi i'm not sure how to check that but i have a router | 00:12 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, :/ no, i just started using a mobile/broadband and eth0 together | 00:12 |
| DasEi | homiziado: sudo dhclient | 00:12 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, actually, i could get get it a little better by selecting "use this connection onlly for resources on its network" under "routes" of the ipv4 tab of eth0 | 00:13 |
| robertzaccour | soadkombucha, how come chromium was buggy them? also is there a chromium 64 bit? | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: I'm not exactly sure. | 00:13 |
| soadkombucha | robertzaccour: On either account. | 00:13 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, i could use xchat, firefox, squid still couldn't connect to the internet though | 00:13 |
| DasEi | homiziado: any ip found ? | 00:14 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: What do you mean, couldn't connect to the Internet? | 00:14 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: If you were using those programs, you were connected. | 00:14 |
| DasEi | homiziado: you can check, if ssh is already installed : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 00:14 |
| homiziado | DasEi not sure how to interpret the output but I don't think so | 00:15 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Oh, were you saying only Squid couldn't connect? | 00:15 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, i mean that they were running fine didn't have internet access | 00:15 |

| Alan502_ | maxwellian, eth0 is what's giving me all the trouble :( | 00:16 |
| DasEi | homiziado: the ssh one ? so not installed then | 00:16 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, lol yeah i guess so | 00:16 |
| homiziado | DasEi but man ssh tells me it exists? | 00:16 |

| RocketLauncher | I have attempted to install Ubuntu from my flash drive using Unetbootin. When booting from flash drive, it skips it and goes on back to Windows. That's if I format it FAT32. If it's NTFS, I get BOOTMGR MISSING | 00:17 |
| DasEi | homiziado: : sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start ,but same as above | 00:17 |
| knoppies | meowbuntu, VNC might be what you looking for. | 00:17 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458530/ | 00:17 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: You have two default routes. | 00:17 |
| soadkombucha | RocketLauncher: Do it with FAT32 and make sure to set USB as the primary boot device using your BIOS settings | 00:18 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, so that could be the problem? | 00:18 |
| meowbuntu | RocketLauncher: does it have the unetbootin screen with boot prompt coming up | 00:18 |
| meowbuntu | vnc ok is that availble on ubuntu | 00:18 |
| Line_ | hello Ive set up virtualization in server 10.04 and i can access my virtual pcs using vnc over lan, but I cannot outside of my network, how can i enable outside connections? | 00:18 |
| meowbuntu | knoppies: | 00:18 |
| homiziado | DasEi also command not found | 00:18 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: My understanding is that when you try to access anything on the Internet, your computer looks up the default route so it knows who to connect to first. | 00:18 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Since you have two default routes, they are probably interfering with each other. | 00:19 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, aha | 00:19 |
| SuperMiguel | whats faster jwm or fluxbox??? | 00:19 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, which are the default routes? | 00:19 |
| DasEi | homiziado: so either we need to fiugre out a working inetconnction first, or use a usb stick and get a deb for ssh from the lappi | 00:19 |
| meowbuntu | RocketLauncher: HELLO DID YOU GET THAT | 00:19 |
| soadkombucha | meowbuntu: I also said something and he apparently didn't get that either | 00:20 |

| codebrainz | inspiron, look at the cables :) | 00:20 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: Is it possible to disable the ppp0 device? To see if that also solves the problem? | 00:21 |
| DasEi | inspiron: hwinfo is more detailed, better install gnome-device-manager, bill gates is near ;-) | 00:21 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: I want to be more certain that it's the fact that they co-exist that's causing the issue. | 00:21 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: I don't know anything about ppp0, though. | 00:21 |
| vaul | ZykoticK9: Well, they have support not only for 4,096 cores now. | 00:21 |
| DasEi | homiziado: so there are ethernetports, too , is there a free one on your router ? | 00:22 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, it's just a mobile/broadband connection. I'll disable it and copy the netstat -nr for you | 00:22 |
| Alan502_ | maxwellian, ppp0 is how we are chatting though, so 'll log out for a few moments | 00:22 |
| meowbuntu | ok soadkombucha | 00:22 |
| RocketLauncher | I have attempted to install Ubuntu from my flash drive using Unetbootin. When booting from flash drive, it skips it and goes on back to Windows. That's if I format it FAT32. If it's NTFS, I get BOOTMGR MISSING | 00:22 |
| vaul | ZykoticK9: It is really easy to get lubvdpau working with VLC now. | 00:22 |
| homiziado | DasEi there is but too far away from the tv | 00:22 |
| DasEi | RocketLauncher: see 2 answers above | 00:23 |
| maxwellian | Alan502_: I thought nothing worked when both were enabled? | 00:23 |

| vaul | ZykoticK9: Everything neccessary is present in repositories. | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | vaul, i have NO idea! I just read the news that the feature was added! I use mplayer for everything myself. | 00:23 |
| homiziado | DasEi, sorry waht is lappi? I'm searching for a deb | 00:23 |
| RocketLauncher | DasEi: i d/c'd so i couldn't see them. i was lagging like crazy earlier | 00:23 |
| DasEi | homiziado: I ask it to get it to networking ~inet | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | vaul, i HIGHLY doubt the version you need is in any repose. check webpd8 site? | 00:23 |
| DasEi | homiziado: lappi = laptop | 00:23 |
| vaul | ZykoticK9: Just install VLC, libvdpau — both from repositories, mark the checkbox «Use hardware acceleration» in VLC, and voiala! | 00:24 |
| RocketLauncher | DasEi: could you tell me the two answers again? | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | vaul, NICE | 00:24 |
| DasEi | RocketLauncher: fat is the right format for unetbootin, let it enough time to finish, unmount cleanly, set bios to boot from usb , should do the job | 00:24 |
| vaul | ZykoticK9: Unfortunately, support is not perfect, so system load is still high, but acceptable. | 00:25 |
| meowbuntu | knoppies: ok vnc may be what is the application for ubuntu called | 00:25 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, this is the output of netstat -nr when ppp0 is disabled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458534/ | 00:25 |

| Capt_Blackwood | does anybody know where the "Themes" are stored | 00:27 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Okay, so when ppp0 is disabled, and it's just ethernet, you have no connectivity? | 00:28 |
| DasEi | homiziado: the question about the giganetports was for internet on the calebox, so additional software can be easily pulled from the web | 00:28 |

| Alan502 | maxwellian, i have newtork connectivity, but can't access the internet at all | 00:28 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Why do you have both devices again? | 00:28 |
| DasEi | ZykoticK9: try from runlevel one with option --dry-run to see apt's suggestion ? | 00:29 |
| homiziado | DasEi do you think it can be done without it ethernet access to the router? | 00:29 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, the only reason why i have both devices active is because i must share this ppp0 connection with my sister >:( and i used to do it through ICS with windows | 00:29 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, so for linux, i installed squid on my machine | 00:29 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, and i will let her browser connect to squid | 00:30 |
| homiziado | DasEi sorry still searching for ssh .deb file | 00:30 |
| DasEi | homiziado: I think so, but as this is really new stuff, it would be nice (and much safer) to have a view inside this box, not acting on a crystal ball | 00:30 |

| maxwellian | Alan502: Okay, so without your sister mucking things up, your normal setup would be the wireless modem, and that would communicate through the ppp0 interface? | 00:33 |
| meowbuntu | mint is my first choice | 00:33 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, the router to which eth0 is connected is a simple wireless router, just the router and me | 00:33 |
| meowbuntu | but ubuntu is a good os i use as my server | 00:34 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, yes, if i wouldn't have to include my sister in this network i would just unplug eth0 and connect to the internet with ppp0 normally | 00:34 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Okay, but you can't get rid of her, so you added a wireless router, which is connected to your machine via ethernet. | 00:34 |
| Alan502 | maxwell_, right! | 00:34 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: And she is supposed to be connecting via the router. | 00:34 |

| maxwellian | Alan502: But really, only the ppp0 is going to get you very far. The eth0 will only take you to your sister, at best. | 00:36 |

| inspiron | so how can I find what connection is used by my HDD? lscpi? | 00:42 |
| clayg | is it possible to have windows 7 ubuntu and xp pro on one systerm/; | 00:42 |
| DasEi | homiziado: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/stick | 00:42 |
| DasEi | homiziado: cd /media/stick | 00:42 |
| DasEi | homiziado: ls | 00:42 |
| DasEi | ls = "LS" | 00:42 |
| homiziado | DasEi "is already mounted on /media/stick" | 00:42 |
| lpetrov | maxwellian: i'm mad.. 4hours downtime because of startup screen sayn' "cant find /dev/hdx" | 00:42 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, let me paste the output.... | 00:43 |
| maxwellian | clayg: Have you tried looking up something like "triple boot" in google? | 00:43 |
| DasEi | homiziado: was just a repeattition, case you missed a step | 00:43 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458537/ | 00:43 |
| inspiron | lpetrov: Because that's ubuntu - it's made to work as it is but it has 1000s of bugs. I've NEVER made a successful dist-upgrade so far. But if you want the latest and greatest and a system which makes minimal use of the VERY VERY POWERFUL command line then use ubuntu | 00:44 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Uh...was that with the ethernet unplugged? | 00:44 |
| clayg | maxwellian, Npo | 00:44 |
| clayg | maxwellian, I have not but I'll take that question as a suggestion and do so, thanks | 00:44 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, yeah, weird but i can still ping google.... | 00:44 |
| codebrainz | nerdy_kid, i think it does this via the Update Manager (system->administration->update manager->Settings) | 00:44 |
| homiziado | DasEi weird ... no files | 00:44 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, i'm running traceroute again | 00:45 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, just in case | 00:45 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: It should show the different machines you're connecting to to reach Google. | 00:45 |
| homiziado | DasEi should I try another usb? | 00:45 |
| nerdy_kid | codebrainz yeah under "software sources", i have that set to "daily" but i dont think it works. | 00:45 |
| inspiron | lpetrov: if you are running a server consider debian. Ubuntu you will have to change at least once every 3 years and changes are drastic. Files are no longer used, have changed places or whatever. | 00:45 |
| homiziado | DasEi... I transfered the .deb from a mac, any influence? | 00:46 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, hahaha i got the same again xD | 00:46 |
| lpetrov | inspiron: thanks, that is what i wanned to hear :) | 00:46 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, let me paste it to you anyway | 00:46 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Okay, so the only interface enabled right now is ppp0? | 00:46 |
| meowbuntu | ubuntu rocks | 00:46 |
| DasEi | homiziado: sure no drive-miss ? prbly there will just be sda and sdb .. errrm mac-deb or a deb from web, d/l by mac ? | 00:46 |
| meowbuntu | !debian | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

| Alan502 | maxwellian, yes :) | 00:47 |

| inspiron | Anyone know how to ubottu we know we know - don't use debian repos in ubuntu. Otherwise ubuntu might actually stop crashing and work properly. On ubuntu I'm afraid to update because I don't know whether the next update is not going to make my system unusable. I do agree that ubuntu does a lot but it's not my cup of tea. I need something which is ROCK solid. | 00:48 |
| inspiron | anyone know how to find out what connection my HDD has? Is it SATA? SCSI? | 00:49 |

| homiziado | DasEi "warning: gpt (guid partition table) detected on /dev/sdb the util fdisk does not support gpt. use gnu parted" ? | 00:49 |
| codebrainz | nerdy_kid, and it doesn't pop up from time to time with the new updates? | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | inspiron: Rock solid, probably about the closest your going to get Linux distrowise is Debian Stable | 00:49 |
| homiziado | DasEi can be a cause? | 00:50 |
| inspiron | sebsebseb: and that's what I'm running | 00:50 |
| DasEi | homiziado: there are some basic tries one could do on graphics, but as this iegd with hdmi is very new to me, I'd like to know more about the environment beforehands | 00:50 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, ok... | 00:50 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, pasting.. | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | inspiron: well in that case support is #debian | 00:50 |
| nerdy_kid | codebrainz no; i have another pc though and it works fine. | 00:50 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458540/ | 00:51 |
| DasEi | homiziado: seems like mac table then, use fat or ntfs ?! | 00:51 |
| inspiron | sebsebseb: yeah but I need something different - I want to find out what connection my HDD has | 00:51 |
| codebrainz | nerdy_kid, yeah, not sure. the packages are 'update-manager*' and 'update-notifier*' | 00:51 |
| homiziado | DasEi not sure which it is but its not fat | 00:51 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Okay, nothing weird there. | 00:51 |
| codebrainz | nerdy_kid, and 'update-inetd' | 00:52 |
| DasEi | homiziado: sudo fdisk -l will tell you about fs | 00:52 |
| sebsebseb | inspiron: well then support is ##hardware | 00:52 |
| DasEi | inspiron: gnome-device-manager tried ??! | 00:52 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, nope, arghhh but can't i select only just one interface as default with route? | 00:52 |
| LJRuff | inspiron, also try parted -l, which will tell you the UID's, filesystems, etc... | 00:52 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Unfortunately, what you're trying to do is foreign to me, and I'm not sure it's even possible. | 00:54 |
| nerdy_kid | codebrainz hmm i dont have a /etc/inetd.conf, i think im supposed to have that? | 00:54 |
| nerdy_kid | even though the package is installed | 00:54 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: At least, you may have to do some router configuration in addition to whatever you do to your own machine. | 00:54 |

| Alan502 | maxwellian, what type of configuration on my router? | 00:55 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Stick around if you can, maybe someone will come on who can help more with weird networking. | 00:55 |
| tripelb | will someone please look at this pastebin with the log file in it. I've asked 3 times over a period of 5 hours. !! --Why did my gnomebaker disk burner fail to like the disk I put in?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dthSQbYs | 00:55 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, ok i'll try the forums probably | 00:55 |
| Agu10 | hi | 00:55 |
| tripelb | thanks!!! ia | 00:55 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Your router has to know how to pass information between networks. Don't know if it's going to know what you're trying to do by default. | 00:55 |
| Agu10 | I have compiz installed, and I enabled it via "Compiz Fusion Icon" app. but everytime I boot ubuntu, and log-in, it is disabled... how could I solve this? | 00:56 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, ok, thanks! | 00:56 |
| inspiron | well I mean it says SATA but the connector is like the pins on a mmc or sd card - the flat ones | 00:56 |
| DasEi | tripelb: try another app, else medium might be incompatible | 00:56 |
| DasEi | tripelb: sudo apt-get install k3b brasero | 00:56 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, Settings->Appearances->Visual Effects->Extra is probably the easiest | 00:57 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: Sure, sorry I wasn't more help. I'm reading up on multiple default paths, maybe something will come up. :) | 00:57 |
| DasEi | inspiron: that's sata then | 00:57 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, ok :D | 00:57 |
| Agu10 | codebrainz, no, because I'd loose my compiz config | 00:57 |
| vol7ron | hello all | 00:58 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, it will load whatever you've set in compiz config settings manager | 00:58 |
| DasEi | inspiron: ide is the 80 (40) post-connector , sata 1/2/3 the ~4cm width plug | 00:58 |
| inspiron | DasEi: Once I bought a SATA enclosure and it required those needle pins, not the flat card-like ones | 00:58 |
| Agu10 | codebrainz, are you sure? I once did that, and it disabled all the plugins, if I remember right | 00:58 |
| vol7ron | can someone help me out with bash, i'm new to it and am not sure where to define my functions | 00:58 |
| DasEi | inspiron: p-ata likely | 00:59 |
| inspiron | DasEi: the enclosure is pata you mean? | 00:59 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, no i'm not sure, but worse case scenario, you spend 2 minutes reconfiguring it | 00:59 |
| DasEi | vol7ron: script or aliases ? | 00:59 |
| nerdy_kid | codebrainz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152521 same issue | 00:59 |
| DasEi | inspiron: p-ata likely if owns the needle one type, yup | 00:59 |
| vol7ron | DasEi, either. I'm used to doing something like: alias emacs "emacs \!* &" | 01:00 |
| Agu10 | codebrainz, that won't make it be enabled when I log-in, will it? | 01:00 |
| jimjim | hey room | 01:00 |
| Agu10 | and why not the Compiz Fusion Icon then?? | 01:00 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, it does for me :) | 01:00 |
| vol7ron | DasEi, I imagine the bash equivalent would be: emacs(){emacs $@ &;} | 01:00 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, i don't think i have said icon | 01:00 |
| Agu10 | what's the problem why it goes back to Metacity? | 01:00 |
| DasEi | vol7ron: /etc/bash.bashrc | 01:00 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, unless compiz isn't working, it shouldn't fallback to metacity | 01:01 |
| jimjim | i need help getting my resolution properly set on my Parallels virtalization of Ubuntu 10.4 | 01:01 |
| vol7ron | DasEi, so ~/.bashrc wouldn't work? | 01:01 |
| Agu10 | codebrainz, it IS working. that's why I don't understand why it starts metacity instead | 01:01 |
| Agu10 | :S | 01:01 |
| DasEi | vol7ron: there you can have a line like alias check="sudo apt-get update" | 01:02 |
| RocketLauncher | I still can't get Ubuntu to install off a flash drive. It still skips when I try to boot from it | 01:02 |
| DasEi | vol7ron: once you open a new shell, it'll work | 01:02 |
| vol7ron | dasei, i could have that same line in my ~/.bash_aliases | 01:02 |
| codebrainz | Agu10, it's hacky, but you could add a start up program with the command 'compiz --replace' but you shouldn't need to do that | 01:02 |
| MaRk-I | RocketLauncher: you need to set your bios to boot from USB media | 01:02 |
| DasEi | vol7ron: yes | 01:02 |
| Agu10 | codebrainz, I'll try that | 01:02 |
| vol7ron | that doesn't help | 01:02 |
| jimjim | i need help getting my resolution properly set on my Parallels virtalization of Ubuntu 10.4 | 01:02 |
| RocketLauncher | MaRk-I: I'll try again | 01:02 |
| airtonix | Agu10, have you got fusion-icon installed (it'll make managing compiz easier) | 01:03 |
| vol7ron | the problem is the error, I'll see if someone knows in #bash | 01:03 |
| codebrainz | nerdy_kid, not sure, short of trying to reinstall the packages i listed | 01:03 |
| Agu10 | airtonix, yes, I do | 01:03 |

| clem | codebrainz,could you tell me something about how can I get the configure options form a source package? | 01:14 |
| Daekdroom | evon, but some processes are ran under a user called "root" when they need acess to certain folders and configs.. | 01:14 |
| Daekdroom | evon, the graphical server, for example, and it's not an unusual cause for CPU hogging.. | 01:14 |
| jake_ | i even removed my tv card, which shard an irq with it. I have had issues in the past with that card not sharing | 01:14 |
| codebrainz | clem, apt-get source thepackage, and then cd thepackage-version/debian and then cat rules (it looks like some configure options in there, but not really sure) | 01:14 |
| evon | Daekdroom. how do i check for this? | 01:14 |

| Daekdroom | evon, oh well, I'm not very into Xorg problems. | 01:17 |

| evon | Dasei, i've tried conky and I don't want to spend more time ;-) | 01:21 |
| p_ | alright... so i have both sun's java and openjdk, how do set sun's java to be active/default/whatever work in here | 01:21 |
| jake_ | MaRk-I, I have no configuration tab. I went "volume control -> preferences -> output" and observed that the "connector" value was set to "Analog Output / Amplified" | 01:21 |
| DasEi | ballongen: it would, but you'd have to lock it in apt then, and there are security-fixes getting lost then | 01:21 |
| jake_ | MaRk-I, I'll change it now to *Analog stereo duplex" | 01:22 |

| SReject | blaze||: Both the CD and DVD installer of Ubuntu 10.04 automatically installs the PAE enabled kernel if it detects more than 3 Gb of available memory.

| osmodivs | blender | 01:48 |
| sevenseeker | system meaning process and/or tools... url would be nice... google is often NOT your friend | 01:48 |

| === audumla is now known as audumla|afk | ||
| sevenseeker | malgorath, yes... I guess the long uneeded explanation is that I need authoritative, accurate, and timely solutions... not archives that require days of fiddling which I have zero time for | 01:50 |
| bazhang | osmodivs, its easy. go to xchat -->network list -->ubuntu servers-->click edit--->add the channels you wish to auto join | 01:50 |

| osmodivs | how to? | 01:50 |
| bazhang | osmodivs, see my explanation above | 01:50 |
| SIREN | is there a keybord command for bringing up bash? | 01:50 |
| Alan502 | but what client are you using? | 01:51 |
| IdleOne | osmodivs: right click on the channel name then click Add to favorites | 01:51 |
| osmodivs | Ah, ok | 01:51 |
| IdleOne | Alan502: he is using Xchat | 01:51 |
| MaRk-I | osmodivs: you click Xchat menu, servers list, select freenode, edit and there's a line to auto join channels | 01:51 |
| Alan502 | IdleOne, ok | 01:51 |
| Malgorath | sevenseeker, your solution isn't gonna be easily found probably, most things when you plug them in require some configs to work correctly. You could actually right a BASH script to update things when you plug stuff in so you can just cp a config file here and backup the original | 01:51 |
| osmodivs | THX EVERYBODY! I am outta here to the Blender channel | 01:51 |

| sevenseeker | Malgorath, thank you. That is however unacceptable as this is for my mom and wife. It is a clear shame that the open source community has yet to figure this out. If I won the lottery and had a few years I guess I would do it myself... not being a c-guru and having to work and support fam, guess Mac is my friend, thanks | 01:56 |
| zus | so id have to have skype open if i am expecting a call? | 01:56 |
| MaRk-I | Marupa: you mean listen to a shoutcast stream in rhytmbox instead of shoutcast page? | 01:56 |
| bazhang | zus, why not check skype documentation for that | 01:57 |
| bazhang | sevenseeker, in my experience projectors and such will generally work, not sure why you would need a script for that | 01:58 |
| packrat | so, my sd card wont mount when i insert it into my AAO running UNR 10.04. how do i shot mounting? | 01:58 |

| sevenseeker | Malgorath icon? Is there a stock program that they can click? | 01:59 |
| Malgorath | sevenseeker, you can link BASH scripts to an icon | 01:59 |
| packrat | greezmunkey, is that the reader that the AAO has? | 01:59 |
| Malgorath | Kinda like how in windows you can run shell scripts from a shortcut | 01:59 |

| sevenseeker | malgorath, yup, never said it wasn't... but logically and easily deduce-able by my statements and initial query are the fact that I don't know how to do it | 02:01 |
| Malgorath | sevenseeker, you know how to copy a file from the command line? | 02:02 |
| MaRk-I | Marupa: I doubt you can, you have to setup an icecast/shoutcast server, do a google search | 02:02 |
| packrat | greezmunkey, sadly, im not entirely sure what to do with the information in the link you provided. im fairly green with linux | 02:02 |

| greezmunkey | packrat: at the bottom of the resulting page there is a link to a howto on mounting sd cards in linux. That's probably a good start. | 02:04 |
| sevenseeker | so I naively assumed there would be some smart systems for managing a common issue | 02:04 |
| bazhang | Malgorath, that's not necessary, lets move on | 02:05 |
| laieman | Hi. Is there a protocol, e.g VNC, that allows you to have steamless-windows which RDP (RemoteApp) and Citrix offers? | 02:05 |
| daichi | according to the guides sym-link -- it creates a new folder, so the created vhost ends up in /etc/apache2/available-sites/available-sites -- the last being the symbolic link | 02:05 |

| Malgorath | Alan502, if you know the daemon name like httpd you can also do: ps aux | grep httpd | 02:10 |
| sevenseeker | ok, so lets start over... what is the right tool or google search string for enabling a laptop to connect at anytime to arbitrary projectors or external monitors both of high quality and resolution via a vga or perhaps a hdmi connection? | 02:10 |
| Alan502 | cjdevlin, nevermind, i found out. Can I make auto eth0 not available to an specific user? | 02:10 |
| Alan502 | Malgorath, i found out, but know i want to block a networking interface to that specific user | 02:10 |
| ohzie | sevenseeker, There is no easy way, it requires reconfiguring and restarting X. | 02:10 |
| inductiveload | tripelb: are you sure it is blank? | 02:10 |
| tripelb | ---- I just did sudo apt-get install k3b brasero and there are all kind of errors as it is intslling. Will my life thn be worse? | 02:10 |
| ohzie | sevenseeker, The easiest way I have found is through KDE's screen setup | 02:11 |
| tripelb | inductiveload, I thought so. If it is not blank then it would get seen. | 02:11 |
| ohzie | sevenseeker, it seems to be built a little better than Gnome's, from what I can tell | 02:11 |
| tripelb | I'll try the next disk. I only tried 2. none have failed before inductiveload | 02:11 |
| Marupa | MaRk-I, IDJC does not do what I want it to do. I need a program that has, as amarok or rhythmbox has, a library of MP3s I can search through. | 02:11 |
| ohzie | sevenseeker, but it will only work with Open Source drivers. the closed source nvidia driver blows for changing x configs. | 02:11 |

| sevenseeker | cjdevlin... I tried mucking through the different laptop display settings but it didn't like any. The external displays I am using to test are admittedly higher than my laptops display, though not by much | 02:15 |
| Malgorath | wodKa, sorry doing 4 things at once right now, does the laptop run another OS fine? | 02:15 |
| greezmunkey | sevenseeker: you, figure out what resulotions you plan to use in advance - xrandr is good for that, then build those into your Xorg.conf file. Then whilst in Gnome, or whatever window manager, ctrl+alt and + or - will cycle through the resolutions you have "preprogrammed" | 02:15 |
| tripelb | inductiveload, same thing. Question: did you look at the pastebin? | 02:16 |
| inductiveload | pastebin where? | 02:16 |
| wodKa | Malgorath: yeah it runs vista fine, i actually formatted and reinstalled it last night since ubuntu has been unusable because of this. 8.04 and 8.10 worked fine, ever since the 9.x series i've gotten this issue | 02:16 |

| wodKa | 10.04 LTS is the disc i have in right now | 02:17 |

| maxwellian | daichi: Or are you trying to make your own using it as a model? | 02:26 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: sure | 02:26 |
| jarHeadless | wel my thx is centred now! | 02:26 |
| sevenseeker | cjdevlin, not sure what the prob is... back in crt days I just mucked with the refresh rate o.O | 02:26 |
| daichi | making my own as a model | 02:26 |
| daichi | it works great | 02:27 |
| cjdevlin | daichi: are you trying to allow all users to have their own web space? | 02:27 |
| daichi | but the problem is -- the apache command to enable the vhosts - a2ensite only works for sites in the folder '/etc/apache2/sites-available' | 02:27 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: here you are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458568/ | 02:28 |

| Scunizi | wodKa: have you attempted to fresh install 10.04? | 02:28 |
| FabParma | maxwellian: I was wrong, I meant "synaptic" in my answer. I cant start "synaptic" via a normal link, if I do it I get "synaptic" working as unprevileged ... any idea? in more, what is the "update manager"? Do you mean the "Ubuntu software center"? | 02:28 |
| maxwellian | daichi: So you're trying to make the folders under /etc/apache2/sites-available/ symlink to folders in your home directory? | 02:29 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: my adapter does not have enough memory... ;( | 02:29 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: yes, 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04. all give me the same problem | 02:29 |
| daichi | so teh vhost gets created in /home/USER/www-config/sites-available/VHOST which creates a symbolic link to /etc/apache2/sites-available/sites-available | 02:29 |
| soreau | greezmunkey: Yea, that's ati rage, probably over 10 years old. It is not capable of running compiz | 02:29 |
| cjdevlin | sevenseeker: for anyone to be able to help you with your issue we have to follow the format of: 1) this is the goal 2) i tried this - then tell us what happened vs what you expected | 02:29 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: and since I'm late to the party.. what is the problem? | 02:29 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, i figured out, to solve my problem i can click "use this connection only for resources on its network" on gnome-network-manager. This only applies to my user though, and squid is running under proxy. Do you know how can i do the same but with the system account "squid" | 02:29 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: yeah, I gave it hell trying though! | 02:29 |
| maxwellian | daichi: If I'm understanding it properly, you have those links backwards. | 02:29 |
| cjdevlin | sevenseeker: even though there isn't a fancy automatic gui, there is usually a 'simple' way to achieve what people are looking for | 02:30 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: everything freezes and processes running stop (wifi, downloads, music, etc) after about 30 seconds of inactivity. moving the mouse or any other kind of user input makes it snap out | 02:30 |
| soreau | greezmunkey: heh. nowadays, nearly all ati cards that are compiz capable work with the default radeon driver | 02:30 |
| daichi | in my main sites-available folder (/etc/apache2/sites-available) i have another folder in it -- which is the symbolic link of the sites-available folder in "/home/user/www-config/sites-available" | 02:31 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: anything show up on dmesg? | 02:31 |
| sevenseeker | cjdevlin: optimistically I agree, its just that I am clueless in this domain... however, I will say that xrandr has brought me success on various netbooks (with my 'dynamic' requirement) | 02:31 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: i don't know what i'm looking for but theres nothing obvious sticking out to me | 02:31 |
| jarHeadless | can i set my left/right mouse botton to snap to the centre of my screen | 02:31 |
| Mr_Sonoma | anyone know a good how to on setting up ircd-hybrid with hybserv? having a few issues getting them to play nicely together. | 02:31 |
| maxwellian | FabParma: try making the link 'gksudo synaptic' | 02:31 |
| === macode|afk is now known as macode | ||
| daichi | that symbolic link folders content should copied to the main sites-available folder, instead of into another folder | 02:32 |
| soreau | greezmunkey: The good news is, that you can get a card made in this past century that can run compiz for next to nothing | 02:32 |
| cjdevlin | daichi: i believe maxwellian is correct, symbolic links don't create directories: they are just pointers | 02:32 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: yeah, this is a Dell 600SC that I got for free, so I'm cool withit. I was given an Ultium 2 tape drive recently, and a compatible adaptec scsi board (that actually works in this 600 - also free) so, all in all I'm doing ok. | 02:32 |
| === kull_ is now known as SolomonKane | ||
| antonio_ | hey everyone | 02:32 |
| soreau | greezmunkey: neat | 02:32 |
| daichi | so, instead of having, /etc/apache2/sites-available/sites-available/VHOST, it should be /etc/apache2/sites-available/VHOST | 02:32 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: should be at the tail end of the file.. and if it's not looking like a sore thumb then probably doesn't show there.. Is this a home built machine, store bought, desktop or laptop? | 02:32 |
| daichi | the directory exists | 02:33 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: I'm sorry, that's even less obvious to me. :( | 02:33 |
| cjdevlin | sevenseeker: is your goal to get a monitor/lcd setup working on a computer that you wife/grandmother is going to be using? | 02:33 |
| greezmunkey | soreau: free computer, free operating system, fix the bugs, next? Use it guilt free :) | 02:33 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: store bought gateway laptop, ran 8.04 and 8.10 fine as well as vista | 02:33 |
| antonio_ | I've got a training video that I bought and downloaded, and I used devede to encode it...and brasero to burn it. It won't play on my magnavox cheapy from walmart... | 02:33 |
| bellman | where does pcmanfm get its ' installed application' list from? | 02:33 |
| antonio_ | Is there any way to specify the region code either when burning or encoding the dvd? | 02:33 |
| maxwellian | daichi: /etc/apache2/sites-available/VHOST should be a symlink to the VHOST in your home directory. | 02:33 |
| un214 | shouldn't it set it to any region? | 02:33 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: vista isn't a good comparison.. 8.04 & 8.10 are.. the question is what's changed enough to give the machine a headache.. | 02:34 |
| dive-o | Anybody know how to fix Ubuntu 10 so that I don't have to redo my compiz settings every time I log in? It loses them on reboot every time - yet once I re-enable effects in the appearance menu, everything comes back and I just need to re-enable desktop cube/rotate cube | 02:34 |
| maxwellian | Alan502: I don't think you can set up per-user networking. | 02:34 |
| daichi | the script creates the VHOST in teh home folder -- i want to link it to the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder | 02:34 |
| dive-o | this only happens on one machine, and I'm not sure why - I use the same compiz setup on others, this one has just been upgraded thru more versions of ubuntu | 02:34 |
| wildbat | !who | daichi | 02:34 |
| ubottu | daichi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:34 |
| antonio_ | ah... | 02:34 |
| antonio_ | is pal used in europe and ntsc used in the us? | 02:34 |
| maxwellian | daichi: You are not understanding what a symlink is. | 02:34 |
| soreau | dive-o: Install simple-ccsm package, then select Custom from gnome-appearance-properties (sys>prefes>appearance>visual effects) | 02:35 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: could be a touchpad thing.. maybe ACPI... AH! do you have a separate /home directory? | 02:35 |
| daichi | maxwellian: the script creates the VHOST in teh home folder -- i want to link it to the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder | 02:35 |
| wildbat | dive-o, may be try purge and reinstalled? | 02:35 |
| un214 | antonio_: you see, the actual DVDCSS key resides in a part of the DVD that is blanked out on consumer DVDR's so there is no CSS and therefore region code is kinda pointless | 02:35 |
| maxwellian | daichi: A symlink does not copy or move anything around. | 02:35 |
| maxwellian | daichi: It's like a shortcut in Windows. | 02:35 |
| dive-o | wildbat: purge and reinstall compiz? | 02:35 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: not that i know of, everything on the install was default. clean format and install | 02:35 |
| jarHeadless | antonio PAL is for anyone in eropa | 02:35 |
| wildbat | dive-o, yes | 02:35 |
| Alan502 | maxwellian, ok thanks :) | 02:35 |
| dive-o | Guess I could try that, I was hoping there was a better answer | 02:35 |
| soreau | dive-o: reinstalling compiz will effectively accomplish nothing | 02:35 |
| antonio_ | ok un214: if I burned it as pal would that keep it from playing on a player here in the us? | 02:35 |
| dive-o | soreau: that's my suspicion as well | 02:36 |
| wodKa | antonio_ yes | 02:36 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: so no separate home with old stuff lying around.. well.. that makes it more difficult.. what's the make and model of the gateway? | 02:36 |
| maxwellian | daichi: What you want to happen is that when you run that Apache setup utility, it will look in the /etc/.../sites-available/VHOST and will FOLLOW the symlink back to your home directory. | 02:36 |
| antonio_ | wodka: haha...thanks | 02:36 |
| dive-o | soreau: I'm wondering if my config is just old enough that the newer gnome doesn't like saving it, or something similar | 02:36 |
| un214 | antonio_: maybe but a computer player would be able to play it anyway even if the hardware player couldn't | 02:36 |
| wildbat | dive-o, soreau it work for me at least | 02:36 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: DOH! what's the model of the gateway | 02:36 |
| soreau | dive-o: Install simple-ccsm package, then select Custom from gnome-appearance-properties (sys>prefes>appearance>visual effects) then you might want to close all windows and go to sys>prefs>startup applications>options and click Remember Currently Running Applications | 02:36 |
| antonio_ | un214: explains why it works on my comuter :D | 02:36 |

| daichi | ok, if i understand this -- i have a folder ABC and inside this folder is a file, help. /ABC/help. I want to copy/link the help file to /etc/apache2/sites-available. with the current symb link. it creates the shortcut to the folder so that it appears as /etc/apache2/sitesavailable/ABC/help | 02:39 |
| jarHeadless | un214: and your point is? | 02:39 |
| greezmunkey | I thought Europa is where the mysterious onyx monolith from 2001 came from... | 02:39 |
| daichi | so hwo can i remove the ABC out of the symb link | 02:39 |
| xxiao_ | i have some dpkg-ed packages on ubuntu, is there a command i do to find all them out? | 02:40 |
| === bburhans_ is now known as bburhans | ||
| cjdevlin | daichi: i've been following your thread for a bit, and i still am having trouble figuring out what the goal is. why do you want/need to create virtual hosts from a bash script? the one downloaded directly from the site will work. if you just want to set up web space for many users, that is not what vhosts are for | 02:40 |
| un214 | greezmunkey, so did I | 02:40 |
| xxiao_ | want to find out any packages that are not in standard ubuntu repo before I upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 | 02:40 |
| daichi | i want to have many development sites to play around with. so i want to create vhosts on the fly with a script | 02:40 |

| maxwellian | daichi: Those are not real filenames, obviously. | 02:41 |
| greezmunkey | un214: er, nevermind, it had sound. | 02:41 |
| antonio_ | hopefully this damn dvd will play | 02:41 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: most likely it's related to the ATI card.. but I"m guessing.. there have been issues with ATI after a certain release because X.org was updated and the drivers ATI provided were for specific cards only.. Unfortunately I"m no ATI guy.. Nvidia here.. which has always worked well except on my machine with 10.04 ubuntu.. but fine with Kubuntu.. have you tried kubuntu? | 02:41 |
| daichi | maxwellian: ^^ i know | 02:41 |
| un214 | greezmunkey: HAL = IBM | 02:41 |
| daichi | :P | 02:41 |
| cjdevlin | daichi: the other option is right click and create link | 02:42 |
| daichi | cjdevlin: i want to get used to the terminal | 02:42 |
| dive-o | soreau: that made it worse. Now not only do I get no window decorations when I login, but it draws my left monitor about 2" off the side of the screen until I go set it to normal again | 02:42 |
| greezmunkey | un214: That's right! heh, I should rent it again. | 02:42 |
| wodKa | i haven't, i actually read a thread about it on a kubuntu forum though with the same problem. he also had an ati card but no one was able to solve the problem | 02:42 |
| maxwellian | daichi: As you should. :) | 02:43 |
| dive-o | gonna try resetting to defaults and giving that a shot | 02:43 |
| soreau | dive-o: Did you hit the 'remember currently running applications button' after selecting Custom? | 02:43 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: I'd betchya a dollar to a donut that it's the ATI card doing it. | 02:43 |
| wodKa | wonderful :/ | 02:43 |
| dive-o | soreau: no, because I'm still trying to get it to forget to start 4 gnome-terminals | 02:43 |
| soreau | dive-o: You exit out of all other windows first | 02:44 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: check the ati site and see what cards are supported by the latest driver for linux.. see if you card is listed.. | 02:44 |
| soreau | dive-o: Close all windows and go to sys>prefs>startup applications>options and click Remember Currently Running Applications | 02:44 |
| dive-o | right - I mean I don't generally like the "remember running apps" setting - if I want it running, I start it. Why should ccsm be any different? | 02:44 |
| soreau | dive-o: while compiz is running | 02:44 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: then I think there's an ATI driver and one produced by someone else.. checkem' both out to see if they may work.. sorry.. that's about all I can offer. | 02:45 |
| soreau | dive-o: The problem is there is a bug where after upgrading, it will want to start compiz.real but it does not exist. It needs to be told to start 'compiz' | 02:45 |

| osmodivs | Is there a way to share pictures in this chat ? I want to explain something to other guys in another channel | 02:46 |
| soreau | dive-o: It's a ubuntu thing | 02:46 |
| dive-o | soreau: ahh, okay | 02:46 |
| osmodivs | And, since i do not speak good english, i would like to comunicate with pictures | 02:46 |
| wodKa | Scunizi: the driver on their site says "Automated installer and Display Drivers for X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, or 7.5" | 02:46 |
| dive-o | soreau: that makes more sense :) I was thinking I probably had some obscure compiz setting somewhere that I'd forgotten about that it just wasn't compatible with | 02:46 |
| dive-o | giving that a try now :) | 02:46 |
| LJRuff | osmodivs, what is your native language? | 02:46 |
| wodKa | is one of those the current version of x.org? | 02:46 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: yes.. but what cards does it support | 02:46 |
| === macode is now known as macode|afk | ||
| wodKa | that's on the driver page for the mobility 4000-series driver | 02:47 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: the current versioin is 7.1 or above.. not sure which | 02:47 |
| tanin | help sound | 02:47 |
| MaRk-I | osmodivs: you can upload a picture to a site and share the resulting link... example: http://img.flashtux.org/ | 02:47 |
| soreau | wodKa: Why are you trying to install fglrx? | 02:47 |
| jarHeadless | Europa is one of the smoothest objects in the Solar System hence europe! | 02:47 |
| soreau | wodKa: On 10.04, the radeon driver should already be working | 02:47 |
| Scunizi | soreau: wodka has issues with the computer simply stopping all processes until a key is pressed or the mouse is moved. | 02:47 |
| cannonfodder | hey you guys...i created a bash script called airnuke.sh and chmod +x airnuke.sh then why i try sudo ./airnuke.sh says cannot open file ....whats going on? | 02:47 |
| soreau | Scunizi: So the first thing to try is the vesa driver, which is already installed as well | 02:48 |
| soreau | not fglrd | 02:48 |
| soreau | Scunizi: This would tell whether the problem is with the graphics driver or not | 02:48 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: I'm using devede to encode the iso again..this time with ntsc. Since I'm playing this on a standalone dvd player, should I have to worry about region codes? | 02:48 |
| cannonfodder | why isnt my bash script running? | 02:48 |
| Scunizi | soreau: let wodKa know.. I've gotta run.. the idea was to verify that the current driver worked on his particular card.. not to replace the driver. | 02:49 |
| soreau | cannonfodder: because you didn't make it executable | 02:49 |
| cannonfodder | i did | 02:49 |
| johngilbrough | I'm new to xchat - How do you not cause an automatic join to #ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| cannonfodder | sudo chmod +x | 02:49 |
| wodKa | thanks for trying Scunizi | 02:49 |
| antonio_ | apparently with this cruddy dvd player you can't make it region free | 02:49 |
| Scunizi | wodKa: good luck! | 02:49 |

| wodKa | sure | 02:50 |
| dive-o | soreau: that worked perfectly :) thanks! | 02:50 |

| robertzaccour | looks fine in totem, crappy on youtube | 02:51 |
| TomT64 | robertzaccour: start with the size being really crappy | 02:51 |
| robertzaccour | tomatto_, how do i fix that? | 02:52 |
| TomT64 | heh | 02:52 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: well if you bought the thing surely its in the format you need! | 02:52 |
| soreau | wodKa: So it tells you which package provides glxinfo and you're installing it, right? | 02:52 |
| TomT64 | you're using ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| robertzaccour | tomatto_, yes | 02:52 |
| daniel__ | #ubuntu-br | 02:52 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: how can I tell what format its in? | 02:52 |
| TomT64 | I don't know if there's a virtualdub download, but it should be able to convert any home made video in any way you want | 02:53 |
| wodKa | soreau: yes apparently i have to add universe or something, im looking for it | 02:53 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: it depends on what you downloaded | 02:53 |
| soreau | wodKa: see sys>admin>software sources | 02:53 |
| antonio_ | avi... | 02:53 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: avi is pretty common | 02:53 |
| soreau | wodKa: You can check all five main repos are enabled | 02:53 |
| wodKa | soreau: it's installing | 02:53 |
| cannonfodder | hey you guys...why is my bash script being stupid...it keeps saying cannot open file.... i did chmod +x airnuke.sh then when i try sudo ./airnuke.sh says cannot open file | 02:53 |
| antonio_ | also when I searched for my dvd player to find the region code I found this "DVD with region codes other than 1 or ALL" | 02:54 |
| * dive-o ponders - is there a recommended way to get a kerberos ticket upon login? I wasn't planning on kerberizing auth on my workstation, but the first thing I do when logging in is kinit so I can get into other stuff | 02:54 | |
| wodKa | soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV630 9581) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL DRI2 | 02:54 |
| antonio_ | how would I make it a region 1? can this be specified in either devede or brasero? | 02:55 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: so your player is suspect! | 02:55 |
| antonio_ | ? | 02:55 |
| soreau | wodKa: Ok, does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? | 02:55 |
| antonio_ | "The owner’s manuals notes that there are many unplayable discs and these are: DVD-RAM, DVD-audio, CD-I (I think), photo CD, video CD, DVD with region codes other than 1 or ALL" | 02:55 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: where are you based europe or usa? | 02:55 |
| antonio_ | us | 02:55 |
| wodKa | soreau: no | 02:56 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: wheres your player from and wheres your download from? | 02:57 |
| antonio_ | player is from the us... | 02:57 |
| antonio_ | I downloaded the training video from a us site...while the speaker on the training speaks with an english accent..so methinks it might be encoded in pal | 02:58 |
| antonio_ | and the site isn't up anymore, as it was a "special event" - a kind of promotion type thing | 02:58 |
| soreau | wodKa: How long do these 'stops' happen and can you re-describe your problem in detail? | 02:58 |
| antonio_ | last time I encoded it with devede, I didn't bother to change it to ntsc...but this time around I did...so I'm hoping it will play | 02:59 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: I m sure you usa player can play PAL files | 03:00 |
| wodKa | soreau: happens after 10 seconds to a minute or so of inactivity, everything on the screen freezes and processes stop (wifi shuts off, music stops playing, etc) indefinitely until i press a key, move the mouse, flip the wifi button off and on, anything. i put a video of it on youtube if you want to see it in action, its pretty much just that description though. | 03:00 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: but yhis is very odd if it cant | 03:00 |
| antonio_ | do you think it makes a difference by not encoding at in devede as ntsc? | 03:01 |
| wodKa | soreau: it has happened since 9.04, 9.10, and now 10.04. 8.04 and 8.10 worked great back when i used those. | 03:01 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: the player I have is the Magnavox DP100MW8B | 03:02 |
| nanothief | On the ubuntu download page http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download it states that 64 bit isn't recommended for daily desktop usage, however on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit page it recommends 64bit. Which is should I get (computer is definitely capable of 64bit) | 03:02 |
| jarHeadless | nanothief: if uyou can do 64bit all is well | 03:02 |
| wodKa | soreau it's on a gateway m-153xl laptop, tried both 32 and 64-bit versions as well | 03:02 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: Im a bit lost here now to be honest | 03:03 |
| antonio_ | ah ok... | 03:03 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: Im in europe so PAL is king! | 03:03 |
| nanothief | jarHeadless: that's good, I currently have more than 4gb of RAM, and it seems to be wasted atm. Are the flash problems mostly solved (heard there was a lot of problems with that in the past)? | 03:03 |
| soreau | wodKa: ok, sounds like a kernel/driver/module bug. So this has always happened on the same machine, right? Do 'lsmod' then start blacklisting modules starting with the obvious problematic ones like wifi and video, then maybe even some audio driver or any other strange module could cause the issue | 03:04 |
| anthony_ | how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3 | 03:05 |
| jarHeadless | nanothief: well Im running 64bit flash for the last few months with no problems | 03:05 |
| anthony_ | how can i adjust my brightness on ubuntu 5.10 on a imac g3? | 03:05 |

| wildbat | anthony_, 5.10? i don't think it is supported anymore | 03:07 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: I thought it might have been the type of dvds I used...so I tested the same dvd type (sony dvd+r) of another movie..and it worked... | 03:07 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: ok well thats good! | 03:08 |
| ABBADON | Hi, I just tried to boot the 2.6.32-23-generic kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 - it was working fine last night, but when I tried to boot into it today, it wouldn't boot, so I tried to boot into recovery mode. No dice - it throws a segfault error 6 in libc-2.11.1.so | 03:09 |
| ABBADON | I did some searching for the error on Google, and apparently it's a bug in plymouth. I was wondering, has anyone else had this error, and if so, is there a fix? I can provide logs if needed. | 03:09 |
| spiol78 | My wireless card is not recognized. Here are the details http://paste.ubuntu.com/458571/ Could somebody help me trouble shoot this issue? | 03:09 |
| === DaZ is now known as Guest68904 | ||
| jarHeadless | antonio_: so maybe it wasnt a PAL verses NTSC problem (but it dosent matter really) | 03:09 |

| LJRuff | spiol78, ifconfig wlan0 up | 03:10 |
| LJRuff | eth1 is for ethernet interfaces. | 03:10 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - tried that | 03:10 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, Is your wireless light on? | 03:10 |
| antonio_ | is there any terminal command to eject a disc from a dvd/cd player? | 03:11 |
| IdleOne | ABBADON: you can search on launchpad.net to see if a bug has been filed and any possible work arounds/fixes | 03:11 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - it doesn't have a light :( | 03:11 |
| FabParma | How to run file.sh directly in the terminal skipping the ask if I want to display it etc? | 03:11 |
| ABBADON | IdleOne: Thanks, will do. Is there any way to fix any broken packages in 2.3.32-23 from another kernel version? | 03:12 |
| airtonix | antonio_, eject ? or umount | 03:12 |
| antonio_ | never mind, found it ;) | 03:12 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - the laptop doesn't have a light to tell if its on or off | 03:12 |
| thune3 | ABBADON: i'm a proponent of hanging-back/reverting on a minor kernel upgrade if it causes problems. Stick with the one that works (unless you are into the debugging) The | 03:12 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, one moment | 03:12 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - did you see the dmesg errors | 03:12 |
| wodKa | soreau: ran out of time to play with this tonight, thanks for your help | 03:12 |

| shpook | Hello everyone. Is there a way to manually fetch the firmware that b43-fwcutter downloads? I don't have wired access on the ubuntu machine. | 03:13 |
| ABBADON | thune3: Ok, so stick with the working kernel for now, then. Am I still able to use the patched Intel drivers I got from the PPA mentioned in the release notes for 10.04? | 03:13 |

| spiol78 | LJRuff - I think that has potential... I am trying it now | 03:15 |
| thune3 | ABBADON: i asusme so, those drivers were published two weeks ago. | 03:15 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: were you having hardware issues? | 03:16 |
| antonio_ | with my standalone one? | 03:16 |
| shpook | Or, yet, is there anyway to get wireless working without having any type of wired connection? | 03:17 |
| LJRuff | shpook, depends on if you have the firmware available | 03:17 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: yeah I guess | 03:18 |
| shpook | LJRuff: well, from what I've gathered, b43-fwcutter is supposed to fetch the firmware, but it needs a network connection. :/ | 03:18 |
| ABBADON | thune3: Ok, just making sure. Those drivers solved my shutdown issue, which is good, but I just wanted to make sure they don't depend on the newest kernel version. Thank you thune3 and IdleOne for your help. | 03:18 |
| antonio_ | well, since I have this dvd that wont play on the standalone, I'd like to see if I can tell what region the dvd is encoded in... | 03:19 |

| LJRuff | spiol78, hmmm, one moment while I look around | 03:22 |
| shpook | LJRuff: Yessir, I've been bit by that bug before. :D | 03:22 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: maybe you should invest in a region free player! | 03:22 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - no problem... I have been looking all day | 03:22 |
| LJRuff | shpook, Do you have wpa? | 03:23 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: yeah I know, but in the meantime, I simply want to find out what the region is of this dvd that I just burned.. | 03:23 |
| antonio_ | is this possible? | 03:23 |
| josephnexus | can someone here (in their spare time) set their screensaver to come on in a short time (like 5 minutes or something) and then click on applications (or any other menu) and leave with the menu open? Whenever I have a menu open, the screensaver doesn't ever seem to start | 03:23 |
| shpook | LJRuff: No, it's a completely open network, nothing special, no security, no MAC filtering, nothing. | 03:23 |
| bitphazer | Does anyone know any open source web mail service? | 03:24 |
| LJRuff | shpook, iwconfig wlan0 essid "enter wireless ssid here" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 03:24 |
| josephnexus | bitphazer, what do you mean? | 03:24 |
| denon | so.. how old/ancient/etc is Ubuntu 8.04 in the scheme of things? for a handful of reasons I need to run vmware server on a box, and afaik, that's the latest ubuntu that's officially supported | 03:24 |
| LJRuff | shpook my bad | 03:24 |
| LJRuff | shpook, don't use that | 03:24 |
| bitphazer | An hotmail alternative i.e. | 03:24 |
| LJRuff | shpook, iwconfig wlan0 essid "enter wireless ssid here" | 03:25 |
| LJRuff | that one | 03:25 |
| josephnexus | bitphazer, you could set up a server and run squirrel mail or roundcube on it | 03:25 |
| josephnexus | is that what you are asking? | 03:25 |
| Flannel | denon: 8.04 was released in April of 2008 (that's where the numbers come from). It's an LTS, and is supported for three years on the desktop (Until April of 2011) and five on the server. 10.04 is the most recent LTS (being released in April of this year) for comparison. | 03:25 |
| bitphazer | Oh, yes! | 03:25 |
| shpook | LJRuff: "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted." | 03:25 |
| LJRuff | shpook, sudo it | 03:26 |
| denon | Flannel: hmm.. this would be server, of course. I assume the 64-bit ver would easily support 12GB and a 3ware card.. seems to me the 3ware support was mostly fixed in 6.x | 03:26 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, did this happen after a kernel update? | 03:26 |
| trent | Does anybody know good resources/tutorial for how to build php website that can easily be scaled onto multiple servers - I am starting a rebuild and want to keep the scale solution in mind from the start but I have no experience in amking a website work across a server farm situation | 03:27 |
| Flannel | denon: Yes on the 12GB, I have no idea on the 3ware card | 03:27 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - no... I was playing around with aircrack | 03:27 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, has it worked before? | 03:27 |
| Flannel | trent: You might try ##php | 03:27 |

| Sego | josephnexux, are they in the ubuntu repository? | 03:27 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: Region codes are a permanent part of the disc so where did yourv disc come from? | 03:27 |
| LJRuff | shpook, if it works then dhcpcd wlan0 and you're good to go | 03:27 |
| shpook | LJRuff: I knew that. :) It went through, but to no avail. nm-applet lists Wireless Networks as "device not ready" | 03:27 |
| antonio_ | ah, so blank disks already have a region code set? | 03:28 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - Yes... I worked perfect. Any wireless card I put in the laptop doesn't work. It also effects my other Ubuntu partition. | 03:28 |
| denon | Flannel: is the ubuntu server disc a live cd as well? or is that just the desktop stuff? | 03:28 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, any wireless card you put into the computer fails to work??? | 03:28 |
| bitphazer | josephnexus: Just hoping that there will be something ready | 03:28 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - I had this problem before and the solution was to boot into Windows, but I don't use Windows anymore | 03:28 |
| josephnexus | bitphazer: i don't understand... I could be getting lost in the overall business of the channel, go ahead and PM me pls | 03:29 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - Correct, my PCMCIA card won't work in that laptop, but works in other laptops | 03:29 |
| Flannel | denon: No, just the desktop CD is a liveCD, the alternate and server CDs are just installers (and rescue CDs) | 03:29 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, same here. = / I won't touch windows. Put in a card and then reinstall ubuntu is the only thing I can think of. Otherwise it's beyond my capabilities to help. Sorry | 03:29 |
| denon | Flannel: nod, k thanks | 03:29 |
| shpook | LJRuff: Don't have dhcpcd installed. Always a wall. :) | 03:29 |
| trent | oh woop yes thanks Flannel | 03:29 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: its a blank dvd that I bought here in the us...are blank dvds already setup with certain region codes? | 03:30 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - Thanks for your help. I am trying to avoid installing again, but I might have to. | 03:30 |
| LJRuff | shpook, you're going to need to hook that machine to a network via wire then. | 03:30 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: NO! | 03:30 |
| bitphazer | josephnexus: No, you are understand exactly what I say! | 03:30 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, Sorry! But sometimes that's the only thing we can really suggest. I know reinstalls suck. = / | 03:30 |
| antonio_ | ok, thats what I thought.. | 03:30 |
| josephnexus | Are you looking for a service to have an address? | 03:30 |
| josephnexus | or are you trying to set up a server? | 03:30 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - I could install Windows, but I gave that CD away! | 03:30 |
| bitphazer | josephnexus: And you gave me already the answer, thanks! | 03:31 |
| antonio_ | What I want to do is to test the dvd that wont play on the player...is there any software that will tell you what region code it has on it? | 03:31 |
| nureal | hey, why isn't truecrypt in the repositories? | 03:31 |
| josephnexus | ok, bitphazer, glad I could help | 03:31 |
| LJRuff | spiol78, =P | 03:31 |
| spiol78 | LJRuff - Something in the Windows boot process solves it | 03:31 |
| bitphazer | ;-) | 03:31 |
| shpook | LJRuff: I had a feeling you would say that. I'll put it to the side and try to bring it to work Wednesday. :) Thanks very much for the help, regardless. | 03:31 |

| C4colo | I just installed 10.4 and I made sure to install the de-css libraries and w32codecs packages but I still have very bad image data corruption playing a dvd. I even ripped the dvd to a .iso file and mounted it and played it direct from the hard drive with the same blocky corruption. | 03:33 |
| C4colo | is there something I need to do to get dvd playback working on 10.4? | 03:33 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - the weird thing is that it effects the other partition of Ubuntu | 03:34 |
| guyq | Hi everyboby | 03:34 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: this is wireless right? why eth1? | 03:34 |
| C4colo | vlc plays choppy and has multi-colored blocks intermixed with good video data, movie player reports an error and fails to play anything. | 03:34 |
| Sego | C4colo, I had the same problem, I tried differnt player like mplayer, gnome player, and found that different ones would play blocky bad graphics and some woujldn't. | 03:35 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: you need to explain more | 03:35 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - Yes, it is wireless. The wired works fine. eth1 is what it was assigned. It happens on my PCMCIA ath0 card | 03:35 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - its actually wlan0 | 03:35 |
| C4colo | Sego, do you know which one worked and which would you suggest I try? I have the default movie player app and vlc now. That is all I tried | 03:36 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: what happens with sudo iwlist scan? | 03:36 |
| Sego | apt-get mplayer for one | 03:36 |
| antonio_ | jarheadless: when I encoded the dvd with devede, I think it had pal set on it automatically...so I'm encoding another one with ntsc selected to see if it makes a differece... | 03:36 |
| Sego | try the ubuntu rep as well, good stuff in there. | 03:36 |
| C4colo | ok, doing so now | 03:36 |
| ne7work | hello all | 03:36 |
| ne7work | please someone tell me how to run database_installer.sh | 03:36 |
| ne7work | ;( | 03:36 |
| antonio_ | what I want to do, is to test the dvd that was encoded with the pal setting..to see what region the dvd is | 03:36 |
| jarHeadless | antonio_: you seem to me to be running aroud in circles | 03:36 |
| dive-o | ne7work: sh database_installer.sh | 03:36 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - Interface doesn't support scanning - eth1 and lo... not wifi listed | 03:37 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: what chipset is this supposed to be? | 03:37 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - eth0 not eth1 | 03:37 |
| ne7work | dive-o and says me can't open.. | 03:37 |
| dive-o | ne7work: what's the exact error? | 03:37 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: the wlan0 interface isn't setup because there is no driver | 03:37 |
| ne7work | sh: Can't open datebase_installer.sh | 03:37 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - intel and atheros | 03:38 |
| X32 | Im having a problem where I need to remove this in iptables and change RETURN to ACCEPT RETURN tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:5001 | 03:38 |
| dive-o | I thought you said it was database_installer.sh, not datebase_installer.sh | 03:38 |
| dive-o | :) | 03:38 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - it acts like all wireless interfaces are dead | 03:38 |
| ne7work | dive-o and now what | 03:38 |
| ne7work | i don't understand you | 03:38 |
| dive-o | you asked how to run database_installer.sh, then said datebase_installer.sh wasn't found | 03:39 |
| dive-o | datebase and database are two different words... | 03:39 |

| spiol78 | crunchbang - I had this issue before on a different distro on different hardware. The solution was to boot into Windows. | 03:43 |
| Samual | I have a samba share running on Ubuntu 10.04, but for some reason it's impossible to access.. Every time I try and connect, it prompts for the password and user -- I enter the correct info, but it just prompts for the info again and again | 03:44 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I didn't have to do anything with the Linux install. Just boot into Windows. | 03:44 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: lets check the pci id# | 03:44 |
| Samual | Any ideas? | 03:44 |
| Roasted | Samual, what are the permissions on the samba share? | 03:44 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - how do I do that? | 03:44 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: lspci -v and look for your adapter info | 03:45 |
| Roasted | Samual, samba interacts directly with the users of the system, so the "users" on the system need to have access to the folder you're sharing out via samba. | 03:45 |
| Samual | Roasted, not sure, I just added it to share from Nautilus -- It used to work previously a long time ago | 03:45 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: looking for a number letter combo 123:abc | 03:45 |
| Roasted | Samual, where is the share located? | 03:45 |
| Samual | Roasted, the share is on a mounted storage drive (Not the main hard drive) | 03:45 |
| Roasted | Samual, what is the path of the drive | 03:46 |
| === audumla is now known as audumla|afk | ||
| Samual | - /media/Storage/ | 03:46 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - where do I look? | 03:46 |
| Roasted | Samual, what are the permissions, owner, and group ownership to that folder | 03:46 |
| Samual | I'm sure the user has access, as I use files from it all the time? | 03:46 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: in a terminal type "lspci -v" | 03:46 |
| Roasted | Samual, well, let's make sure before we dive in further :) | 03:46 |
| steven__ | dose someone know something i can download to make rap beats | 03:46 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: look for wireless adapter | 03:47 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - sorry... missed that one | 03:47 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I am there | 03:47 |
| Samual | Owner is my user, "create and delete files" -- But hmm, it says under Others "none" | 03:47 |
| Roasted | Samual, its fine if it says none under others, AS LONG AS your user is owner or group. | 03:47 |
| Samual | I'm owner and group, so | 03:47 |
| Roasted | Samual, in fact, its a good thing to have nothing (or at the very least, read only) permissions as "all others" for security reasons. | 03:47 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - 02:03:0 | 03:48 |
| Roasted | Samual, and "you" are the user in question, right? | 03:48 |
| Samual | Yes | 03:48 |
| Roasted | Samual, do you have a samba user that matches your ubuntu user? | 03:48 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: try this instead "sudo lshw - C network" | 03:48 |
| miguel_ | s | 03:48 |
| Roasted | Samual, aka, you need a "samba" user on top of your system user. | 03:48 |

| === miguel_ is now known as Guest50249 | ||
| Samual | I didn't set up any samba user, Roasted | 03:48 |
| Roasted | Samual, hm, I always do. | 03:48 |
| Guest50249 | Whats the default color saturation in the background of xfce?? | 03:48 |
| Samual | Roasted, mind helping me set that up then? | 03:48 |
| Roasted | Samual, I didnt think samba would work WITHOUT a samba user... | 03:49 |
| Roasted | Samual, absolutely. | 03:49 |
| Roasted | samferry, are you using a GUI application to set up samba shares, etc? | 03:49 |
| Roasted | oops | 03:49 |
| Roasted | Samual, * | 03:49 |
| FloodBot3 | Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:49 |
| Samual | Roasted, yes, Properties > Share | 03:49 |
| subledub | it seams a beug, bc i can't edit anymore Principale Menu editor | 03:49 |
| Roasted | Samual, that's sharing via nautilus, not necessarily through a samba gui utility. | 03:49 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - trying something... I will try that in a sec | 03:49 |
| Roasted | Samual, I'm going to just give you a command to run to add the user, alright? Afterwards, I'll direct you to a samba GUI tool I recommend. Very easy to use, manage, etc. | 03:50 |
| Roasted | Samual, what is the name of your user? Is it by chance, samual? | 03:50 |
| Samual | Roasted, Haha yes, samual. | 03:50 |
| Roasted | Samual, run this: sudo smbpasswd -a samual | 03:50 |
| mirskens | can anyone help me with an audio issue? | 03:50 |
| Roasted | Samual, it'll ask for your root pw, type it. Then it'll ask for your samba password. | 03:50 |
| ne7work | unexpected operator? | 03:51 |
| ne7work | what is that? | 03:51 |
| Roasted | Samual, you can make your samba password anything. To be honest, I use the same password as I do for my system. | 03:51 |
| Roasted | Samual, so I have "jason" on Ubuntu, but I at one time ran sudo smbpasswd -a jason too and added a "samba" user. | 03:51 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - did it lshw -C network | 03:51 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - what do you need? | 03:51 |
| Samual | Roasted, okay, added | 03:51 |
| Roasted | Samual, then try on your windows box to connect to it. If it doesn't work, no problem, there's another thing we can try . | 03:52 |
| ss7 | I am installing ubuntu server; partitions /home and swap are to be encrypted. can I enter a key remotely (ssh) to allow access to /home and swap in the event of powerfailure/reboot? | 03:52 |
| jacob_ | hey guys, I can't resume after sleep, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, do you have any idea about this problem, thx in advance | 03:52 |
| Samual | Roasted, aha, it worked. | 03:52 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: missed lshw -C | 03:52 |
| Roasted | Samual, I honestly don't know how it worked before :P | 03:52 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: can you pastebin lspci -v output | 03:52 |
| Roasted | Samual, I always thought you needed samba users + ubuntu users to "play together" for it to actively work. | 03:52 |
| Guest50249 | Whats the default color saturation in the background of xfce?? | 03:52 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - ok... it will take a minute | 03:52 |
| Roasted | Samual, there's a few things I'd liket o point out that may help you in the future, though... assuming you have another 5 minutes to spare? | 03:53 |
| Samual | Roasted, thanks mate -- So what is that tool you recommended for samba? But well, I don't know how it worked before either :P It was always flakey before | 03:53 |
| Roasted | Samual, youre on 10.04 right? | 03:53 |
| Samual | Roasted, sure. and yes i'm on 10.04. | 03:53 |
| Roasted | Samual, fire up software center and search for "samba". The 2nd option that comes back with the sub heading "create, modify, and delete samba shares". Download that quick. | 03:54 |
| Roasted | Samual, its a very simple, basic, easy to use tool for samba if you just want to set up quick home sharing. | 03:54 |
| Samual | I never use software center, too slow -- What is the package name precisely? | 03:54 |
| Roasted | Samual, system-config-samba in synaptic. | 03:54 |
| Samual | Ah | 03:54 |
| Roasted | Samual, you on an old box or something? Software center is relatively snappy over here. :P | 03:55 |
| Samual | Roasted, nah, it's just buggy. Some times I can't install apps through it either, it will just freeze. -- I also don't have compositing right now, which adds to slowness. | 03:55 |
| Roasted | Samual, *shrug*. Can't say I ever had a problem with it. I still prefer hitting up terminal for apt-get but software center is a pretty decent app as far as I can tell. | 03:56 |
| steven__ | i need help | 03:56 |
| Roasted | Samual, did you manage to get that package, though? | 03:56 |
| steven__ | how can i make raps beats on linux what do i need to download | 03:56 |
| Samual | Roasted, I normally just use the terminal for everything -- I may seem like a relatively oblivious user to Samba, but i've been using Linux for years ^_^ | 03:56 |
| mirskens | is there anyone available that can help me figure out why i can't hear any audio on ubuntu? I am new to the system and have tried various fixes I found online but nothing has worked. It's a Sony Vaio. | 03:57 |
| Samual | But, yeah I got it | 03:57 |
| Roasted | Samual, very nice. I'm a big fan of terminal too. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | Samual, hit up System - Admin - Samba. That's the gui tool you just downloaded. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | Samual, if you hit preferences and then samba users, you can add users here. This is the equivalent of "sudo smbpasswd -a samual" that you ran a few minutes ago. | 03:58 |
| Samual | Roasted, oh the other reason for slowness is my swap file by the way -- I forgot to remove it earlier, so the kernel keeps aggressively swapping things when I have 3gb+left to spare | 03:58 |
| steven__ | Samual: can you help me out | 03:58 |
| Roasted | Samual, whats nice is, you can quickly add new shares if you hit the plus sign on the main page. Additionally, once you hit the plus sign and add the path of your directory to share, you can set share name, description, and whether or not you want it to be writable + visible. | 03:58 |
| Samual | steven__, what's the problem? | 03:59 |
| Roasted | Samual, then, under the "access" tab you can pick and choose what users you want to have access to that share. Even if your Linux permissions are 777 on the folder you're sharing, Samba would restrict them at a user level if you have restricted them from access via this menu. | 03:59 |
| steven__ | Samual: what do i need to down load to make rap beats | 03:59 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: hows it going? | 03:59 |
| Roasted | Samual, This is very nice, because my computer has extra drives in it to act as a backup server. I don't want my parents to stumble across my brother's backed up pictures, documents, etc, so I said only curtis can have access to curtis, only tyler can have access to tyler, etc, so that way things are securely separated. | 04:00 |
| C4colo | Sego, thank you, mplayer can play it but I had to symlink /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd | 04:00 |
| Roasted | Samual, all of these changes you make in this simple tool directly change the config file for samba, which is located in /etc/samba/smb.conf if you ever wanted to check it out. I used to make changes in the GUI and then re-check the config file, just to see how this GUI tool adds/removes entries | 04:00 |
| Samual | Roasted, interesting, thanks for this tool too, although i'm the only one who will be accessing the data ^_- -- Unless my wife gets curious, but still no issues. | 04:00 |
| C4colo | and it did not show up in the menus, I have to run it from the command line, but it does decode the dvd video well. | 04:00 |
| ne7work | please someone help me with l2 server :( | 04:00 |
| Roasted | Samual, well, keep it in mind, because its extremely handy. My ubuntu box has several shares on it besides backup documentation. One for media, one for "guest" access in case my buddy comes over and wants to transfer some files to my box and doesnt have a flash drive, etc. | 04:01 |
| Samual | steven__, not sure, I don't really know any good opensource programs for that.. Most of the things i've seen are for e.g. techno songs though | 04:02 |
| FabParma | I would like to install samba but i am afraid that it takes too much resource. do you know more or less the real amount of resouces used when is idle? | 04:02 |
| steven__ | thaank | 04:02 |
| Roasted | Samual, the beautiful thing about samba is it works with mac, linux, and windows... and since I have 3 windows boxes here, 1 linux laptop, 3 linux desktops, and a mac laptop, everything plays nicely. :) I can stream music to my old ibook laptop in the garage from my ubuntu box. | 04:02 |
| Roasted | FabParma, let me see if it shows up in my resources listing, 1 second | 04:02 |
| Samual | Er, he left... | 04:03 |
| Samual | I was going to recommend some apps.. | 04:03 |
| FabParma | Roasted: thanks | 04:03 |
| Samual | =.= | 04:03 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - almost there | 04:03 |
| Roasted | FabParma, its not under system monitor. Know any terminal apps to find what samba may be using? | 04:03 |
| Samual | Roasted, yeah, the computer I was accessing this with was actually an Ubuntu laptop | 04:03 |
| Roasted | Samual, yeah, if youre doing linux to linux and thats IT and thats all itll ever be, NFS is nice to use too. | 04:03 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - thanks for waiting http://paste.ubuntu.com/458596/ | 04:04 |
| ylmf | 不错嘛 | 04:04 |
| Roasted | Samual, I like a wide variety of support though, since I have windows, mac, and linux boxes, so samba is really a sure-fire win. | 04:04 |
| Samual | Nah I have windows computers as well | 04:04 |
| FabParma | Roasted: not present typing "top"? | 04:04 |
| Samual | So. | 04:04 |
| ylmf | I like Ice cream | 04:04 |

| Roasted | FabParma, I really, really doubt samba uses much resources though | 04:04 |
| Roasted | Samual, no problem man. Enjoy! | 04:04 |
| Roasted | FabParma, I've ran samba on pretty old laptops. Its just a file sharing protocol. | 04:05 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: "sudo modprobe ipw2100" | 04:05 |
| Roasted | FabParma, the only "hit" my computer takes is when somebody is writing a massive amount of data to my computer as I'm using it. Then it's just regular resource wear as the hard drives write the data that the user is p ushing to their share. | 04:05 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - it doesn't return anything | 04:05 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: its not supposed to | 04:06 |
| UrLame | my nmap is saying "Warning: Hostname locahost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 8.15.7.107." what does this mean ?? | 04:06 |

| mirskens | Since installing Ubuntu yesterday on my Sony Vaio, I have not been able to hear any audio.

| spiol78 | crunchbang - it doesn't see the wireless | 04:14 |
| jarHeadless | blendmaster1024: paste site??? | 04:14 |
| isilion_ | !iso | 04:14 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 04:14 |
| blendmaster1024 | jarHeadless, like pastebin.com but where I can set a password | 04:14 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: is there an option to "enable" wireless - there is in the gnome manager via icon | 04:15 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - it feels like the problem is at the lower levels because it effects 2 partitions | 04:15 |
| jarHeadless | blendmaster1024: pastebin is a public arena | 04:15 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - the gnome wireless indicator will not let me enable wireless. Its grayed out. | 04:15 |
| blendmaster1024 | jarHeadless, exactly, I want something where I can set a password | 04:15 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: did you say this was a build-in adapter? | 04:16 |
| blendmaster1024 | wait nevermind! thanks anyway | 04:16 |
| spiol78 | crunchband - built in and PCMCIA... the PCMCIA works fine in my other laptop | 04:16 |
| jarHeadless | blendmaster1024: password for what? | 04:16 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: so you have two adapters - a pcmcia card and a built-in wireless adapter? | 04:17 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - correct... two adapters | 04:17 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: and you want to get the build-in one working, i.e Lan2100? | 04:17 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I want to get both working... I am working on the internal. I think both will be fix if one gets fixed | 04:18 |
| Sc00t3r | Anyone got a clue why right now I can't find an IDE drive in the Ubuntu Install while I can find it in Disk Utility? | 04:18 |
| whatTurtle | hi | 04:18 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: only in the internal has the same chipset/driver as the external | 04:18 |
| whatTurtle | how can i generate keyboard signals from bash shell ? | 04:19 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - different chipsets. This isn't a chipset issue | 04:19 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - its not your normal wireless issue | 04:19 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: definitely not the normal issue :) | 04:19 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: what version is the pcmcia card? | 04:19 |
| whatTurtle | Hi does anybody remember how can i generate keyboard signals from bash shell ? | 04:20 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - this is why I want to fix it. I had this before and I fixed it by booting into Windows and then booting into Linux | 04:20 |
| whatTurtle | there is a command starting with x but i don't remember .. grrrrrr :( | 04:20 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - its a proxim 8470-wd | 04:20 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: that fixed it forever until you installed new linux? | 04:20 |
| bastid_raZor | whatTurtle: xev ? | 04:20 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - that was on a different distro on different hardware | 04:21 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I was playing around with aircrack and rebooted... then all wireless went dead | 04:21 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: never used aircrack.... | 04:22 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - something in the Windows boot process fixed it last time... I don't use windows anymore | 04:22 |
| robertzaccour | i'm trying to figure out how to upload videos to youtube without the videos losing quality. i converted the ogv with devede, and upload, and its bad quality. am i missing something? is there a screencast program that records in anything besides ogv? | 04:22 |
| whatTurtle | bastid_raZor, hmmm that one finds the keybord events i want one that binds events... | 04:22 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I suspect that Windows resets something in the boot and Linux doesn't | 04:22 |
| whatTurtle | from bash shell.. but probably they would be using the same libraries... | 04:23 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: according to the ubuntu wiki, the 2100 should work out of the box .... | 04:23 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - it was working just fine | 04:23 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: you were playing with aircrack in kde or gnome? | 04:23 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - kde | 04:23 |
| unomi | Hi, I have a mobo with 1 sata connector, is it possible to connect 2 hdds to it? | 04:24 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: what happens now when you boot gnome? | 04:24 |
| FabParma | Roasted: i found a tool very usefull. if you want try it "sudo apt-get install htop" it swos all process, you can scroll down to see everything an in more pressing f3 you ca searche exactly the process that you are looking for | 04:24 |
| whatTurtle | bastid_raZor, i think i found it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 04:24 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: I'm assuming you did not install aircrack in gnome as well?? | 04:24 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - same thing... and its on a different partition | 04:24 |
| whatTurtle | bastid_raZor, it's xdotool :-) :-) | 04:24 |
| robertzaccour | spiol78, if you install a DE in crunchbang, then whats the point of crunchbang? | 04:24 |
| whatTurtle | bastid_raZor, http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/projects/xdotool/ | 04:25 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - gnome is an almost untouched install of the latest Ubuntu release | 04:25 |
| H2OyJaBoN | hi! | 04:25 |
| whatTurtle | i am happy now :-) I just typed apt-cache search keyboard :-) ;) | 04:25 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: same kernal for both the kde and ubuntu install? | 04:25 |
| whatTurtle | by guys have a nice day/night whatever :-) | 04:25 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - nope... different kernals | 04:26 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: and the lan2100 just worked in gnome as well? | 04:26 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - everything worked perfect... no issues at all | 04:26 |
| aurilliance | How can I record the currently playing audio? | 04:26 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - now all wireless is dead in both partitions | 04:27 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: I would uninstall aircrack myself | 04:27 |
| mkquist | aurilliance: what are you using to play it? | 04:27 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - its not going to solve it. It only runs when I run it | 04:27 |
| aurilliance | mkquist, myspace music | 04:28 |
| mkquist | aurilliance: streaming station? | 04:28 |
| mkquist | aurilliance: i think thats flash | 04:28 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - its lower level... do you know of any lower level tools? Something that can reset the firmware? | 04:28 |
| aurilliance | mkquist, yes | 04:28 |
| aurilliance | I just want to record what is going to my headphones socket... | 04:28 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: you already checked in aircrack-ng room? maybe your cards are stuck in raw mode | 04:29 |
| mkquist | aurilliance: you might find a 'flash get' plugin for your browser... | 04:29 |
| sprout` | I'm running UNR on a Dell Mini 10 - I got wireless to work shortly, but now it's claiming to connect but not actually connecting. Where do I start to diagnose? ping says connect: Network is unreachable | 04:29 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: ...hmm... it would have to be another native linux driver for the lan 2100 or something | 04:29 |
| nitram9 | Hi I've never used IRC before so bare with me please (and teach me what I'm doing wrong) I have a 10.04 wubi install. It now crashes when it's supposed to be loading grub. When I turn it on it goes to the windows boot loader where I choose ubuntu. It immediately resets at that point with no error messages. I have booted in windows and found that \ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is empty | 04:30 |
| Zelozelos | aurilliance, i just got here, but r u trying to upgrade to flash 10 on a 64bit? | 04:30 |
| spiol78 | MaRK-I - nobody is responding | 04:30 |
| nitram9 | Any help | 04:30 |
| nitram9 | please | 04:30 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: maybe google if the manufacturer has a linux driver you can try | 04:30 |
| aurilliance | Zelozelos, nope | 04:30 |
| TuxthePenguin | If I recall Wubi doesn't use GRUB. Am I right? | 04:30 |
| ylmfos | 1111111111111111111111 | 04:30 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - raw mode ... I need to look into that | 04:30 |
| Zelozelos | 2? | 04:30 |
| TuxthePenguin | I thought it used GRUB4DOS | 04:30 |
| nitram9 | I believe it does or atleast it did when i was using 9.10 | 04:31 |
| nitram9 | maybe when I upgraded they made a change. | 04:31 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - I don't think its a driver issue because booting into window and making no changes in linux solves it | 04:31 |
| NiteSnow | oh dear god ecryptfs | 04:31 |
| gallifrey | how do I connect to my wifi on ubuntu-netbook | 04:31 |
| NiteSnow | It's not decrypting at login | 04:31 |
| gallifrey | it's tricky nhasian | 04:31 |
| TuxthePenguin | nitram9: Do you have any data on it (Did you just install it) | 04:31 |
| gallifrey | er nhandler | 04:31 |
| TuxthePenguin | gallifrey: Is there a WIFI icon (Wireless of some sort) on your top panel? | 04:32 |
| nhandler | gallifrey: Double tab-fail | 04:32 |
| nhasian | gallifrey, sorry what was that? | 04:32 |
| nitram9 | Ok no I didn't just install it I've been using it for a few months. I just did one of those nearly daily updates and there was an error. Something with a linux header update. | 04:32 |
| gallifrey | nhasian: yeah | 04:32 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - I am googling raw mode... thanks for the tip | 04:32 |
| NiteSnow | gallifrey, click it | 04:32 |
| nitram9 | I didn't record that error unfortunately. | 04:33 |
| NiteSnow | gallifrey, then click the access point you want to connect to | 04:33 |
| gallifrey | she said the pannel is missing | 04:33 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: yw just a hunch | 04:33 |
| sprout` | What if it says I've connected but both Firefox and ping can't find anything? | 04:33 |
| NiteSnow | gallifrey, now ID'm lost | 04:33 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: you might want to google aircrack and your Lan2100 and see if others have reported the loss of networking. | 04:33 |
| nitram9 | I had restarted initially because it became slow and it also just announced to me that it was goiing to run in low graphics mode. those may be red herrings though | 04:33 |
| Zelozelos | nitram9, is the old grub still there? can u use that one? that happened 2 me once n i fixed it by uninstalling the new one | 04:33 |
| gallifrey | me too | 04:33 |
| NiteSnow | I'm* | 04:34 |
| nitram9 | There is no grub | 04:34 |
| nitram9 | I'm worried it was corrupted. | 04:34 |
| nitram9 | and so in windows it doesn't show up. | 04:34 |
| v1ad | good thing i never went the wubi route | 04:34 |
| Zelozelos | ahh...duh u're usin Wubi ;) | 04:34 |
| NiteSnow | anyways how do i get the ecryptfs to decrypt on login i have my passphrase | 04:34 |
| ilumi | hey guys, if the girl you loved liked to get naked and play at front of other guys, would this make you jealous? yes or no? | 04:35 |
| nitram9 | my suspicion is that I just have to get the grub stuff back but I don't know what should be there and what confige I will need. Is there a menu.lst, do I need a grub executable? | 04:35 |
| NiteSnow | ilumi, #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:35 |
| NiteSnow | lol | 04:35 |
| Zelozelos | ilumi wrong room dude, try ubuntu-offtopic rofl | 04:35 |
| gallifrey | I told her she should just throw the netbook away | 04:36 |
| NiteSnow | Zelozelos, beat you to it :) | 04:36 |
| gallifrey | or place a timelock on it | 04:36 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - googled that, the dmesg and every other error all day | 04:36 |
| NiteSnow | gallifrey, if she doesn't want it send it to me | 04:36 |
| ilumi | please just some yes or nos | 04:36 |
| gallifrey | NiteSnow: it's like a 4 year old eeepc - 4 gigs | 04:36 |
| nitram9 | So does anyone know if there is a page somewhere that lists what should be installed in a 10.04 wubi install. | 04:36 |
| inno89 | can anyone help a newbie with a really annoying problem after my installation of 10.04? my touchpad isn't working at all and nothing works so far :( | 04:36 |
| NiteSnow | gallifrey, I can do a lot with that :) | 04:36 |
| gallifrey | NiteSnow: it takes care of it self, no help needed | 04:37 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - do you think this will help??? http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airdriver-ng MaRk-I | 04:37 |
| gallifrey | inno89: run the command 'sudo jockey' | 04:37 |
| nitram9 | I'm new to irc and everythingg is flying by how do I search for comments directed towards me or rather filter for comments to me. | 04:38 |
| gallifrey | ah, I love this stuff | 04:38 |
| inno89 | gallifrey: what would that do | 04:38 |
| inno89 | cause it's not even recognizing it | 04:38 |
| gallifrey | inno89: it opens a program that searches for proprietary apps | 04:38 |
| crunchbang | spiol78: gotta go. Good luck! | 04:38 |
| gallifrey | i think it lives in admin or preferences | 04:38 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: you know when you typed (i.e. airmon-ng wlan0 start), do the opposite like airmon-ng wlan0 stop | 04:38 |
| inno89 | ok i will try it. thanks | 04:38 |
| gallifrey | it looks like a soundcard | 04:38 |
| spiol78 | crunchbang - thanks for all the help | 04:38 |
| abid | i just installed lampp, everythings goes well until i change the Document root, lampp says, Error 1, bla bla... anyone has a suggestion? thx | 04:38 |
| crunchbang | night o/ | 04:39 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - I rebooted since then... that didn't help | 04:39 |
| ChogyDan | abid: Can you pastebin the whole error? | 04:40 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: can you put it in monitor mode?? | 04:40 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - nope... the card is not found at all | 04:40 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - nothing in ifconfig -a | 04:40 |
| MaRk-I | ouch | 04:41 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - My other partition doesn't even work!!! | 04:41 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: tried the livecd? | 04:41 |
| ennui | Is there a way to hide the window titlebars displayed at the top of windows by metacity in gnome? they take up a lot of space when you have several windows open | 04:41 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - thought about that.... I haven't done it yet | 04:42 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - trying the liveCD now | 04:43 |
| abid | sorry i just uninstalled it, and try them one via apt-get. if I didn't miss spell it, it say "I have no idea, try community help" or st. similar | 04:43 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: good luck | 04:43 |

| LJRuff | fuyao, Then the directory doesn't exist. | 04:45 |
| fuyao | should i create one? | 04:46 |
| LJRuff | fuyao, if you intend to save there, it'd be a good idea. | 04:46 |
| TuxthePenguin | fuyao: sure | 04:46 |
| fuyao | ok thanks guys | 04:46 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - WOW... THE CARD SHOWED UP | 04:47 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: I think it has to do because the card staid in "raw/monitor" mode | 04:47 |
| MaRk-I | now you have to find out how to get it out of that state | 04:48 |
| nitram9 | Is there anyone thinking about my problem and helping me or does no one have any ideas? In otherwords should I just give up here and look somewhere else? | 04:48 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - booted back into the install... it still doesn't work | 04:48 |
| spiol78 | MaRk-I - I think you are right about raw/monitor mode | 04:49 |
| Mqueue | nitram9>> what was your question again ? | 04:49 |
| MaRk-I | spiol78: only aricrack ppl might help, that's all I can think of sorry | 04:50 |
| emstrand | I can't figure out how to use empathy or should just keep using XChat? | 04:50 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 04:50 |

| Mqueue | <emstrand> it's easy what's the problem with it | 04:52 |
| reese | Hi...Has anyone else had the Python issue with the current 10.04 image? I tried downloading the ISO from both bittorrent and directly from the Ubuntu site and I get the same issue with both images. When I burn the image to CD and put it in the drive, I get all sorts of "Disc missing" Python errors. And when I try to boot from the burned disc, it starts loading the Ubuntu booter and then says something about not being able to read th | 04:52 |
| OpenNoob | Anyone here using Openfiler? | 04:52 |
| emstrand | <Mqueue> Guess im just dumb | 04:53 |
| Chaorain | hey all, I:m trying to convert a video file and I was wondering what happened to VLC:s wizard? Following a guide | 04:53 |
| ChogyDan | reese: try checking the cd | 04:53 |
| OpenNoob | I keep hearing how Linux does not require a reboot after updates but my install of Xbuntu needed 3 restarts tonight - what gives? | 04:54 |
| Mqueue | <emstrand> just add your account and that should be it | 04:54 |
| Mqueue | <emstrand> where r u stuck | 04:55 |
| Chaorain | OpenNoob: some things do, most don:t | 04:55 |
| emstrand | Mqueue: I'll try again with more patience | 04:55 |
| ChogyDan | OpenNoob: depends on what was updated. Kernel upgrades will probably always need a reboot. | 04:55 |
| nitram9 | Mqueue: I have a 10.04 wubi install. grub does not load the computer simply resets. when I load windows my ubuntu/disks/boot/grub folder is empty. I suspect everything that was in that folder was corrupted or deleted. how do I rebuild that? was there supposed to be stuff in there to start with? | 04:55 |
| Mqueue | <emstrand> u using 10 ubuntu ? | 04:55 |
| OpenNoob | ok I was just surprised - I dont think it was kernel - is rebooting getting more common as linux progresses? | 04:55 |
| red2kic | OpenNoob: No. :< | 04:56 |
| reese | chogydan: the CD is fine...Like I said I've tried burning many times with ISO's from multiple sources. Nothing wrong with my burner or the discs I'm using. (and no I'm not a noob, not just burning the .iso onto the cd by itself). And when I put it in with Windows running, after I keep clicking OK to those Python errors it works. Still get the "can't find disc" errors from the booter though, which is weird because it finds the disc | 04:56 |
| emstrand | Mqueue: Yes 10.04.. it didn't find any channels | 04:57 |
| OpenNoob | I have say Xbuntu is running nice on this Celeron 1.6 and 512k Dell | 04:57 |
| reese | I would just boot from USB but the computer I'm trying to install it on won't boot from USB | 04:57 |
| Mqueue | nitram9 i think u didn't install the bootloader when installing ubuntu | 04:57 |
| Roasted | reese, does it support usb booting? | 04:58 |
| robertzaccour | In Pitivi>Project Settings, what settings should i choose in the "Export to" part at the bottom? It takes a long time to transcode and I wanna make sure I do it right. Thanks in advance. | 04:58 |
| reese | nope :( | 04:58 |
| Roasted | reese, check out plop boot cd. | 04:58 |
| robertzaccour | I'm trying to put recordmydesktop screencasts on youtube | 04:58 |
| kman | Hi all. Webmin - Just installed. Error trying to run webmin with Ubunto 10.04 server. Error is "no such file or directory" when run https://localhost:10000 any suggestions? | 04:58 |
| ChogyDan | reese: is this wubi? | 04:58 |
| Roasted | reese, you put the CD in, fire it up, and itll "force" a usb boot (as long as the usb drive is in of course) and it'll boot accordingly. | 04:58 |
| nitram9 | well that's not it since I've been using this for months. but the solution to that problem would probably solve mine. | 04:58 |
| Poaceae | quit | 04:58 |
| Roasted | reese, Plop Boot CD - remember it. :P | 04:58 |
| emstrand | gotta go watch fireworks now...bye | 04:58 |
| mirskens | I am having problems with audio on my newly installed Ubuntu. I am using a Sony Vaio and am not getting any audio at all (it worked fine previously in Windows 7). I have tried basic fixes such as adjusting volume levels, using the system controls, etc. Any advice on how I can fix the problem, or, if necessary, switch to an audio driver that Ubuntu can support? | 04:59 |
| emstrand | thanks | 04:59 |
| nitram9 | I can't just reinstall because I have tons of un-committed work on that image. | 04:59 |
| kman | Any webmin users out there? | 04:59 |
| Roasted | mirskens, by chance, is PCM muted? | 04:59 |
| mirskens | roasted, sorry i am new to this, what is PCM? | 04:59 |
| Roasted | mirskens, you know in windows how in your advanced volume control you have volume in 1 slider, and wav in another slider, and if either is muted, you have ZERO sound? | 05:00 |
| reese | yes, Wubi...I can't find a distribution of 10.04 without it? as for Plop - I'll try the CD version. I tried to just do the PLoP boot hack on the other box, but it's got some crazy installation of XP Media Center that I can't find boot.ini on for the life of me | 05:00 |
| Roasted | mirskens, thats kind of like PCM/volume in linux. Two individual sliders, both need to be set appropriately or itll be muted. | 05:00 |
| Roasted | mirskens, its just a quick thought, I have no idea if itll help, but lets make sure... are you on ubuntu 10.04? | 05:00 |
| reese | Thanks very much for the help! | 05:00 |
| mirskens | roasted - where can i check the settings for PCM, then? | 05:00 |
| mirskens | roasted, yes i'm on 10.04 | 05:01 |
| Roasted | mirskens, hm, in the GUI I'm not sure where it's located in 10.04. They must have moved it from where I previously remember it. | 05:01 |
| ChogyDan | !wubi | nitram9 | 05:01 |
| ubottu | nitram9: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 05:01 |
| Roasted | mirskens, open a terminal and type "alsamixer" and hit enter | 05:01 |
| Roasted | mirskens, you should see several sliders. PCM (for me) is the 2nd slider over. Is it muted? | 05:01 |
| ChogyDan | nitram9: there are directions on how to boot a livecd and recover with that | 05:01 |
| nitram9 | ChogyDan: What does !wubi | nitram9 mean | 05:02 |
| nitram9 | ChogyDan: don't use wubi? | 05:02 |
| bullgard4 | What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? | 05:03 |
| ChogyDan | nitram9: I directed ubottu to send you a message | 05:03 |
| LinuxFetus | Hey the ubuntu updater thingy just ran and gave me this error: http://pastebin.com/fXtbnM3Z | 05:03 |
| Mqueue | Wubi is lame..lol..it just sounds lame | 05:03 |
| mirskens | roasted, it says "100<>100" for the PCM slider. | 05:03 |
| Roasted | LinuxFetus, if I remember correctly I got the same error... | 05:03 |
| nitram9 | ChongyDan: Ha and what does that mean? sorry I have never used irc before. | 05:03 |
| OpenNoob | Anyone here using Openfiler? | 05:03 |
| Roasted | mirskens, what does it say for "master" | 05:03 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxFetus: the graphical updater? | 05:03 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: Yeah. | 05:04 |
| mirskens | Roasted, master slider says 00 and it has a colored bar running all the way to the top | 05:04 |

| abid | now everything seems to runs smooth. I just purge apache2, php5, and mysql-server then reinstall the lampp, change to DocumentRoot again, restart the lampp, and.. goooooall | 05:04 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: It's a GUI that says "Update Manager" in the title bar. | 05:04 |
| Roasted | mirskens, under the PCM slider, there is an icon just above the 100 <> 100 you saw | 05:04 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxFetus: mind using a terminal? can you run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 05:05 |
| Roasted | mirskens, itll either say MM, or have a green square with 00 in it. Whcih is it? | 05:05 |
| nitram9 | ChongyDan: oh get it now. | 05:05 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxFetus: and then pastebin the output | 05:05 |
| inno89 | I tried running sudo jockey, but it did nothing for my touchpad | 05:05 |
| mirskens | roasted, most of the other sliders have either a green square with 00 or MM, but there is no such thing on the PCM slider | 05:05 |
| Roasted | mirskens, ah, for me its the opposite - I have nothing for master, but for pcm I have that option. That's probably because pcm may be listed as your primary audio adjustment device. | 05:06 |
| Roasted | mirskens, let me think a minute... | 05:06 |
| Roasted | mirskens, highlight the master slider, and bring it up to about 30 | 05:06 |
| Roasted | mirskens, then play some sort of audio and see if you hear output | 05:06 |
| inno89 | is there any way for it to search specficailly search for touchpad driver sor something | 05:07 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/r1FqC3f7 Oh yeah one more thing - It told me it couldn't find a menu.lst file in my grub directory and it asked me if I wanted to create one and I said no the first time, but then it kept asking me, so I said yes. | 05:07 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: I think it is the synaptic driver | 05:07 |

| mirskens | roasted, no luck with that, still no audio | 05:08 |
| Roasted | mirskens, is there a "MM" under master? | 05:08 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxFetus: try sudo apt-get update, then repeat the earlier command | 05:08 |
| mirskens | roasted, no, it says 00 in the box and then 30 below that for Master | 05:08 |
| Roasted | mirskens, and PCM has 00 in the box and is maxed? | 05:09 |
| ross_ | is that a good dictionary program for ubuntu that i can install | 05:09 |
| Roasted | ross_, have you checked software center by chance? | 05:09 |
| mirskens | roasted, there is no box for the 00 in PCM, but it does say "100<>100" underneath where that box should be | 05:09 |
| Roasted | mirskens, ahhh thats right. I forgot you said that. | 05:09 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hey anybody around? | 05:10 |
| Roasted | mirskens, what kind of sound card do you have | 05:10 |

| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, what card? | 05:10 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | i've tried rebooting and reloading the sources, but to no avail | 05:10 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | realtek | 05:10 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, can you see the wireless network? | 05:11 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | yes | 05:11 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | just wont let me connect to it | 05:11 |
| === rabies_ is now known as rabies | ||
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, by chance, if you remove security, can you connect? (had this issue with an atheros card at one point) | 05:11 |
| inno89 | My touchpad still isn't working, neither for ubuntu 9 or fedora :( | 05:11 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | I havent tried that | 05:11 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | I use wpa2 as security | 05:11 |
| rabies | people takin my nickname... | 05:11 |
| rabies | bastards | 05:11 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | because lots of people around me steal internet | 05:11 |
| Mqueue | lol | 05:12 |
| mirskens | roasted, it is an Intel 3400 | 05:12 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, well, 2 minutes wont hurt. I'd remove security and see if you can connect then. | 05:12 |
| Roasted | mirskens, is this a laptop? | 05:12 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | can i get some help with my issue with my packages not showing up for mythtv? | 05:12 |
| rabies | annyywhoo, anyone know why when copying a 9.10 cd to a usb drive and running syslinux it wont boot? | 05:12 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxFetus: doesn't look like there is a problem | 05:12 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | alright let me give it a try | 05:12 |
| rabies | im using this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:12 |
| mirskens | roasted, it is a laptop, sony vaio vcpeb11fm | 05:12 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, this would at least differentiate if you CAN Connect vs if the security is preventing it | 05:12 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: Alright, cool. | 05:12 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | alright I can confirm that without the wpa2 enabled it connects | 05:12 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: I suggest googlin your laptop model and ubuntu, see what other people's experience have been | 05:12 |
| rabies | what am i doing wrong? =( | 05:13 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: Tanks. | 05:13 |
| LinuxFetus | ChogyDan: *Thanks. | 05:13 |
| inno89 | i tried that, cant find any | 05:13 |
| Roasted | mirskens, hmm... I'm not too sure bro. All I know to check for is the obvious things (muted, etc) and the PCM + Master, making sure both are NOT muted and both have adequate sound level. | 05:13 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: what is the model? | 05:13 |
| Roasted | mirskens, for example, when I hit volume up/down, it changes master. AS a result, I leave PCM maxed @ 100 | 05:13 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, hmm... okay... what if you clock the security back to standard WPA - can you connect then? | 05:13 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | no | 05:13 |
| inno89 | it's a vaio f12 | 05:14 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, so WPA and WPA2 bomb out for ya? | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | yeah basically | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | should i give wep a try? | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | or see if i can find some drivers? | 05:14 |
| Roasted | you COULD... but I had this issue with an Atheros card, and it didnt like ANY security. | 05:14 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, did you install restricted drivers? Or was it auto detected? | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | auto detected | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | most of my peripherals work | 05:14 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | even the touch pad | 05:15 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, I don't have much experience with realtek. I went through hell getting my RTL8187B supported. Once 8.10 acme out, it supported it out of box - but around that time, the laptop died. :P | 05:15 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, it worked fine in 9.10? | 05:15 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | well someone else said update ubuntu to see if an update will fix the issue let me give that a try | 05:15 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | before I decided to hardwire my laptop | 05:15 |
| Roasted | wait | 05:15 |
| Roasted | lets back up a second | 05:15 |
| Roasted | at any given point in time, did THIS laptop with this realtek card work with wpa2? | 05:16 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: have you tried the 32bit livecd, rather than the 64bit wubi? | 05:16 |
| === tinlun is now known as 15SAAHG7S | ||
| ShadowFoxBiH | works with my windows 7 install | 05:16 |
| Roasted | what about linux | 05:16 |
| Roasted | did you ever run an older version of linux and it work | 05:16 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | can anyone please help me with my problem? | 05:16 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | nope just did a fresh install of linux | 05:16 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | nobody is addressing me | 05:16 |
| Roasted | because it works in windows doesnt mean itll work in linux, and vice versa. :P | 05:16 |
| inno89 | chogydan: i havent done that yet but this seems to be a kernal issue from what i read | 05:16 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | I had xubuntu on another laptop | 05:16 |
| Roasted | Ive had stuff work in linux that hardly worked in windows, and other way around at times too. | 05:16 |
| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, ok, whats up? | 05:17 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: are you sure that is the model? f12? | 05:17 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | yeah well I hate windows | 05:17 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | so i upgraded to ub 10.04 | 05:17 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | I used ubuntu up untill my old laptop died | 05:17 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | and i tried to run mythtv-frontend a few minutes ago and it complained about a vdpau issue | 05:17 |
| rabies | no one understands me either! -o_o | 05:17 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, I'm not too sure what else you can do. I know in synaptic there should be a WPA supplicant installed, but I think that comes installed from the get go. | 05:17 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | so i figured hey maybe i should just reinstall the frontend | 05:17 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, what exact realtek card is it | 05:17 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | so i removed all the mythtv packages on this system (not my backend) | 05:17 |
| inno89 | Chogydan: try VPCF1. it's referred ot as the f12 too | 05:17 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | and now it's not showing up in my package manager | 05:17 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | no clue i dont even know how to check lol | 05:18 |
| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, i have absolutely no idea, but did you search the bugzilla on launchpad? | 05:18 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | i've rebooted and reloaded the sources a couple times, no luck | 05:18 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, go to terminal and run "lspci" | 05:18 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, at the end there should be 2 network controllers. 1 wired, 1 wireless. | 05:18 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, whats the wireless one say | 05:18 |
| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, maybe its not in the new repos? | 05:18 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | i've googled it and couldn't come up with worthwhile keywords, i assume it also crawled bugzilla | 05:18 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | but no i have not directly consulted bugzilla | 05:18 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | tertl3: why would they remove mythtv from the repos? | 05:18 |
| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, i would search the official docs in launchpad | 05:19 |
| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, idk, do you have a better explination | 05:19 |
| inno89 | Chogydan: i've done so much stuff with that xorg.conf file but nothing works, i mean the system doesnt even detect it | 05:19 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | is there anything else i can do in the mean time? | 05:19 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | realtek semi co device 8172 | 05:19 |

| tertl3 | Te3-BloodyIron, is there a Mythtv wiki or anyithng? | 05:19 |

| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, worth a shot I suppose | 05:21 |

| Guest44597 | hi | 05:22 |
| frith | Does xfce ONLY use the power management settings for the monitor, or is there a way to use a screensaver with it? The goal is to have it auto-lock my screen and put my monitor to sleep | 05:22 |

| jamil_1 | Hi, When apt-get stucks at setting up acpid. any suggestions ? | 05:22 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | nice | 05:22 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hey you got any advice on where to get some drivers for an intel HD audio card? | 05:22 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, Atheros is real good too from what I understand. But keep in mind if this drives you NUTS and you just want a card that works well, look up what kind of form factor your wireless card is and see if you can grab an intel for a few bucks. | 05:22 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, It sucks but, its not Ubuntu's fault that companies put out crappy drivers. Atheros and Intel however have proven themselves to me in the wireless department. Broadcom, however, sucks. Badly. | 05:23 |
| augusto | My Netbook does not recognize my Wifi Atheros AR 2427.. Any sugestion? | 05:23 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, not sure. My audio has always worked out of box. *shrug* | 05:23 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | well it works | 05:23 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | just i know my speakers can go louder | 05:23 |
| Roasted | augusto, can you see the network? | 05:23 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, maybe your PCM is low. | 05:23 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | how do i check? | 05:23 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, run alsamixer in terminal and check the levels of PCM and Master. They both need to be @ adequate settings for it to work, similar to Volume + Wave sliders in Windows. | 05:24 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: it looks like it will be fixed with the next release, or if you want to download the .34 kernel from the mainline ppa | 05:24 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, I leave PCM maxed @ 100 and just up/down the master volume when needed. | 05:24 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | alright let me check | 05:24 |
| bribroder | augusto, have you confirmed that your OS has drivers for the card? | 05:24 |
| inno89 | ChogyDan: how can i do that? | 05:24 |
| augusto | typing lspci appears Atheros.. | 05:24 |
| cameron_ | Hi all. I was hoping someone could help me diagnose a wireless problem | 05:24 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | pcm is at 100% | 05:25 |
| robertzaccour | emma, i'm gonna switch to youtube if i can get it uploaded right | 05:25 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | might just be a driver issue | 05:25 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, below the slider, there should be either 00 or MM | 05:25 |
| Roasted | ShadowFoxBiH, what is it | 05:25 |
| augusto | Ubuntu netbook 10.04 installed | 05:25 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | under PCM there is nothing | 05:25 |
| ChogyDan | inno89: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds | 05:25 |

| ShadowFoxBiH | emstrand i know my speakers can go louder since i used them in win 7 | 05:29 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | just now they seem to be weak | 05:29 |
| bribroder | the default net manager is notoriously bad for wifi | 05:29 |
| Roasted | bribroder, not really. It used to be a lot worse. I would HARDLY call network manager "notoriously bad" | 05:29 |
| cameron_ | Roasted, Yes. It takes about 10mins to buffer then bufferes every 3-4 secs | 05:29 |
| Roasted | while you CAN try wicd to see if the issue solves it, its not always the case. | 05:29 |

| Roasted | vladwhat does. | 05:30 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | oh and anyone know where i can find a nice music player | 05:30 |
| Roasted | bribroder, it used to suck. It used to flat out suck. I admit. | 05:30 |
| v1ad | notoriously bad | 05:30 |
| Roasted | bribroder, today I would hardly call it bad, though. | 05:30 |
| Roasted | hardly | 05:30 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | the standard one is not my favorite | 05:30 |
| v1ad | nowadays its decent | 05:30 |
| v1ad | i still like Wicd though | 05:30 |
| Roasted | I like wicd too. but its development is "wicked" slow :P | 05:31 |
| bribroder | Roasted, possibly it's improved since I left it | 05:31 |
| v1ad | it is | 05:31 |
| Slook | glad I could see he IRC since i'm always on the forum, I'll be back later | 05:31 |

| ShadowFoxBiH | and search chrome | 05:31 |
| vijay1 | which one is better windows or ubuntu | 05:32 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | ubuntu my friend | 05:32 |

| ShadowFoxBiH | screw windows | 05:32 |
| v1ad | apt-cache search filename | 05:32 |

| v1ad | to me ubuntu | 05:32 |
| v1ad | so far no bsod in ubuntu | 05:32 |
| bribroder | Roasted, I think net-man is great for ethernet connections; my complaint is mostly with its wifi handling | 05:32 |
| cameron_ | I prefer ubuntu even when I can get my wireless working | 05:32 |
| NiteSnow | v1ad, you can't get a bsod in ubuntu lol | 05:33 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | oh anyone know why flash 10 isnt available on 64 bit ubuntu? | 05:33 |
| v1ad | lol i know | 05:33 |
| Roasted | bribroder, my opinion about 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04's network manager was STRICTLY from a wireless standpoint. | 05:33 |
| Roasted | bribroder, wired is.. whatever. It works, never had an issue, etc. The only time I interact with network manager is through my wireless machines. | 05:33 |
| bribroder | ShadowFoxBiH, http://www.duber.com/LetsTalk/playerCheck.html says flash 10 is installed on my 64 bit 10.04 | 05:34 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hmm youtube is asking me for flash | 05:34 |
| Roasted | bribroder, not to mention the quality of the card/driver plays a huge role in it. For example, I ran a Broadcom in my laptop w/ STA drivers. Network Manager sucked, WICD sucked, I had issues no matter what I did. Random disconnects, some networks connected, others didnt connect (for whatever reason), etc. | 05:34 |
| bribroder | apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:34 |
| bullgard | What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? | 05:34 |
| Roasted | bribroder, ended up grabbing an Intel BGN card brand new off Amazon for 13 bucks. Plopped it in. 100% of my problems are GONE. I connect to networks in 5-7 seconds instead of 30-35 seconds like it was on my broadcom. Not to mention, at work I can walk VERY fast and bounce from access to access point without the connection dropping. With the broadcom, it would drop unless I took milimeter baby steps down the hall. | 05:35 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hey bribroder it says the file doesnt exist | 05:35 |
| int__ | heya. trying to troubleshoot a synaptic touchpad issue in X. my device is recognized and used by X as the mouse input.. but `synclient -m 1` shows no input coming from the device. anyone have experience with this? | 05:35 |
| Roasted | bribroder, point being, the card/driver plays a bigger role (imho) than network manager vs wicd (these days, at least). | 05:35 |
| bribroder | Roasted, you're probably right about the hardware mattering way more | 05:36 |
| Roasted | bribroder, however, wicd is NICE with it easily being able to select alternative drivers right there in the GUI. | 05:36 |
| bribroder | Roasted, my experience with net-man was in a low-end netbook | 05:36 |
| Roasted | bribroder, by chance, what kind of network card were you running? | 05:36 |
| Roasted | bribroder, wireless-card wise. | 05:36 |
| bribroder | ShadowFoxBiH, you need to enable the partner repos in the update manager and reload | 05:36 |
| vijay1 | I HAVE PROBLEM connecting via bluetooth GPRS and i also searched ubuntu wiki andfollowed instructions and typed some commands ,edit some files and got result zero | 05:36 |
| linux_is_my_hero | alright chromium is up and running...whats the best way to get flash plugins for it | 05:37 |
| bribroder | Roasted, let me check... it was in an Eee PC 1008-HA | 05:37 |
| bribroder | which has since gone somewhere, but I'm not sure where, lol | 05:37 |
| nureal | hey, why isn't truecrypt in the repositories? | 05:37 |
| vijay1 | is there no gui to connect via bluetooth gprs | 05:37 |
| TuxthePenguin | linux_is_my_hero: try installing the package ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:37 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, check the flash its probably already working | 05:37 |
| linux_is_my_hero | TuxthePenguin: already have it :-) | 05:38 |
| TuxthePenguin | oh, then it should be working | 05:38 |
| IdleOne | linux_is_my_hero: install flashplugin-installer | 05:38 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: firefox is acting finicky so installed chromium...yet chromium is getting errors when i open flash sites like youtube | 05:38 |
| Roasted | bribroder, do you by chance have the machine there? I'm trying to google for it and Im not finding an exact brand name of wireless card it had. | 05:38 |
| vijay1 | now what to do in that case? when i am unable to get resolution greater than 800x600 | 05:39 |
| linux_is_my_hero | idleOne: trying now :-) | 05:39 |
| bribroder | Roasted, hunting for it... somewhere around here | 05:39 |
| TuxthePenguin | Good Night guys :) | 05:39 |
| Avasz | which ap can be used to open/edit sqlite2 file? | 05:39 |
| vijay1 | infact my laptop is able to provide resolution 1280X? | 05:40 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, fine lets go the easy way. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ download the APT 1 | 05:40 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | thanks bribroder | 05:40 |
| linux_is_my_hero | idleOne: i get this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/458618/ | 05:40 |
| IdleOne | linux_is_my_hero: don't worry bout that | 05:41 |
| bribroder | :) | 05:41 |
| v1ad | <linux_is_my_hero, or u could download the .deb | 05:41 |
| Roasted | bribroder, sounds like its an atehros card. | 05:41 |
| bribroder | Roasted, found it!! booting | 05:41 |
| IdleOne | linux you can run apt-get autoremove like it says if you want to | 05:41 |
| Roasted | bribroder, its weird, because atheros is normally looked at as a well supported linux company. | 05:41 |
| IdleOne | linux_is_my_hero: you can run apt-get autoremove like it says if you want to | 05:41 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: I get the message "adobe-flashplugin" is virtual | 05:41 |
| Roasted | bribroder, but I have a laptop here that has an atheros card. Works fine in 9.04, but in 9.10 and 10.04, itll only connect if theres no security. | 05:42 |
| Roasted | bribroder, needless to say, I ordered a linux wifi card for it earlier today to replace it. :P | 05:42 |
| bribroder | Roasted, yeah, my issues started in 9.10 | 05:42 |
| Roasted | bribroder, an intel wifi card* | 05:42 |
| === chattan1 is now known as chattan | ||
| IdleOne | linux_is_my_hero: ok well seems flash is installed. test it. | 05:42 |
| vijay1 | it hangs after every boot on many machines that my friend's have | 05:42 |
| linux_is_my_hero | IdleOne: youtube still doesn't work whats another flash-based site? | 05:42 |
| bribroder | Roasted, my biggest problem was that if I tried to load anything bigger than a website the connection would drop | 05:42 |
| Roasted | bribroder, yeah. Gotta love that :P | 05:43 |
| vijay1 | than what is better? | 05:43 |
| bribroder | Roasted, installed wicd and the issue was gone | 05:43 |
| Roasted | bribroder, I dont mean to sound like a big fan boy, but going from a problematic broadcom to a 100% working intel that wouldnt drop connection no matter what I did, it just surprised me. | 05:43 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, if you are not running x64 then run the .deb if you are let me know and ill find u a auntomated script | 05:43 |
| Roasted | bribroder, not to mention, wicd could have used a different driver by default than network manager. | 05:43 |
| bribroder | Roasted, no I completely agree. I should just replace that piece of shit and call it a day | 05:43 |
| Roasted | bribroder, thats what's great about open source software. We have choice. Dont like net man? get wicd. etc. :P | 05:44 |

| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: i run x64 | 05:44 |
| Roasted | bribroder, I was just trying to give network manager credit cause I DO think they've come a long way in the recent year or so. | 05:44 |
| mcl0vin | ^^ 9.10 can someone help me please | 05:44 |
| bribroder | Roasted, Atheros AR9285 | 05:44 |
| karen20100702 | HELP! I accidently missed an dot, and chmodded recusrivly everything from / - can you solve my "failed to connect to configuration server" error I get when I log in? | 05:44 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, there is no .deb ill go get u the script off the forums | 05:44 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: thanks :-) | 05:45 |
| linux_is_my_hero | IdleOne: whats the link? | 05:45 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, first enable the partner repository and then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:45 |
| mcl0vin | on my way to home from a long day, wife calls and say that the box was not responding so she figure if she turn off the power and turn it back everything will be cool. | 05:46 |
| Roasted | bribroder, scanned forums for that card in the title, some users reported issues with it. :( | 05:46 |
| mcl0vin | by the time i am home i got the warm welcoming , so i looked at the screen and there it is , "The configuration default for GNOME power manager didn't installed correctly" | 05:46 |
| linux_is_my_hero | bribroder: how do i enable repos? | 05:47 |
| mirskens | I am new to ubuntu and having an audio issue on my Sony laptop. I spoke with roasted earlier, he suggested adjusting the PCM and master audio controls in alsamixer. At first I heard no sound at all, but I now am able to hear a very faint sound through headphones only, not through the main speakers. All levels are maxed. Any advice? | 05:48 |
| bribroder | Roasted, yeah it's not a very good card. I think it recently just killed itself | 05:48 |
| linux_is_my_hero | linux_is_my_hero<--kinda new to this. :-( | 05:48 |
| edt | My wife wanted a system easier to maintain so I just install 10.04 on her laptop - it had arch on it before. Its now sluggish so slow as to be almost unusable. Is there a checklist somewhere? There were NO speed problems on arch running kde4... | 05:48 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, Sytem menu > Administration > Update Manager > Settings button in the lower left | 05:48 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: thanks :-) | 05:48 |
| Roasted | bribroder, not to mention, I'm reading now that installing the backports often enable better support for atheros cards. Not sure what thats about... never heard of that fix, but some users reported it working | 05:48 |
| Voldenet | edt, checklist? | 05:48 |
| karen20100702 | HELP! I accidently missed an dot, and chmodded recusrivly everything from / - can you solve my "failed to connect to configuration server" error I get when I log in? (GNOME) | 05:49 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, great no more x64 flash support. ill see how we can install a different 1 | 05:49 |
| robertzaccour | I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? | 05:49 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, then the "Other Software" tab and make sure that the first item is checked--it should say partner at the end | 05:49 |
| edt | to figure out why ubuntu is so much slower that arch linux? | 05:49 |
| robertzaccour | i'm doin it with Pitivi | 05:49 |
| Voldenet | yeah | 05:49 |
| bullgard | What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? | 05:49 |
| Voldenet | check your vid driver | 05:49 |
| Voldenet | your kernel config | 05:49 |
| Voldenet | and compare them | 05:49 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner? | 05:50 |
| statim | ive got a ton of weird file looking things in /lost+found/ ... ive ran fsck and im able to boot up ok. but i cant get rid of this stuff... is there a right way to do this? | 05:50 |
| edt | for example open office opened in seconds on arch - it taked minutes on ubuntu | 05:50 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: thanks for your help :-) | 05:50 |
| bribroder | Roasted, I did get the backported drivers working temporarily, but it wasn't very well behaved | 05:50 |
| jarHeadless | bullgard:you try ne not! | 05:50 |
| Voldenet | edt, i believe it is a matter of compiling | 05:50 |
| Voldenet | what amount of ram does this notebook have? | 05:51 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, that sounds correct | 05:51 |
| edt | Voldenet I used a stock kernel on arch. started with .32 and upgraded to .33 both were fast | 05:51 |
| karen20100702 | Could somebody please pastebin a "ls -la" of their home dir? | 05:51 |
| karen20100702 | I need to fix permissions | 05:51 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, Check it, it close, and reload | 05:51 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: it was already checked :-) | 05:52 |
| Voldenet | Kardos, fixing permissions is ineffective and usually does not work | 05:52 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, then you should be good... just do sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree | 05:52 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, er that's flashPLUGIN | 05:52 |
| Voldenet | chmod -R is imo the most dangerous command now | 05:52 |
| vijay1 | it hangs after every boot on my many friend's machine while they have popular hardware ,so i will have to uninstall it from their machines ,what could i do? and i also tried to change their file systems from ext4 to ext3 but could not:'( | 05:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: i did/ whats a good site to check it on? besides youtube | 05:52 |
| karen20100702 | Voldenet: COuld have been an rm! :) | 05:52 |
| bullgard | jarHeadless: I beg your pardon? | 05:52 |
| robertzaccour | I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? I'm using Pitivi | 05:52 |
| bribroder | http://www.duber.com/LetsTalk/playerCheck.html | 05:52 |
| Voldenet | karen20100702, well, rm and dd are not participating in competition | 05:53 |
| Voldenet | ;P | 05:53 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, registers mine as LNX 10.1.53.somethingsomething | 05:53 |
| edt | Voldenet I've been running linux for 10 years - this is the first time I've ever had it behave this badly. Looks like the write drivers have been detected but something is killing performance on the laptop. | 05:53 |
| Voldenet | edt: iotop | 05:53 |
| Voldenet | htop | 05:53 |
| Voldenet | 2 tools to run | 05:54 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, u try this? "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 05:54 |
| vijay1 | on some machine where it is running smoothely ,games makes it defeat against windows | 05:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: that was the first thing i tried. :-( | 05:55 |
| karen20100702 | Anyway, pastebin your "ls -la" in home, anyone? Other than /home, everything else is easyish to fix. | 05:55 |
| bribroder | Roasted, I did get it working with backported drivers, but it still wasn't working very well with WPA2 security | 05:55 |
| robertzaccour | I'm converting an ogv to avi. does it matter which audio and video codecs I choose? I'm using Pitivi | 05:55 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, i know they disabled the older support :[ | 05:55 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, | 05:55 |
| murftown | I heard linux is good | 05:56 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, let me see something else also | 05:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | v1ad: why is it difficult to get flash support for a popular browser? i know people are dumb, but these people are software engineers. kinda sad.... | 05:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | you'd think they would do it right the first time | 05:56 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, did flashplugin-nonfree not work out? | 05:56 |
| v1ad | uhuh | 05:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: testing right now | 05:56 |
| mcl0vin | how do i reconfigure gnome-power-manager | 05:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: adobe's site gives me results similar to yours, and it is finding it. :-) | 05:57 |
| karen20100702 | Please somebody post their "ls -la" output for their home dir on pastebin, I messed up my permissions with a chmod in the wrong place! | 05:57 |
| valkure | hello | 05:57 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, sounds like it works, then | 05:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: so we jsut went "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" and that did it :-) | 05:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: what about java? | 05:58 |
| MaRk-I | karen20100702: have you tried: chown -r user:user /home/user ? | 05:58 |
| bribroder | the package is sun-java6-jre | 05:58 |
| soreau | karen20100702: try chown -R $USER $HOME | 05:58 |
| NeverCast | linux-is-my-hero, You can either use use sun java or OpenJDK | 05:58 |
| valkure | who needs help one ata time | 05:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | nevercast: frostwire is installing right now so we shall see...its putting in sun java :-) | 05:59 |
| karen20100702 | MaRk-I: Ownership hasn't changed. Some things don't like their new 0777 permissions! | 05:59 |
| byakko | hi | 05:59 |
| NeverCast | linux_is_my_hero, Love Frostwire :P | 05:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | thank you everyone for your help :-) | 05:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | briboder: nice work ;-) | 05:59 |
| NeverCast | linux_is_my_hero, I was hoping there would be an Ares for Linux, but no.. I'll have to port it or something | 05:59 |
| bribroder | linux_is_my_hero, my pleasure | 05:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | nevercast: yeah, i like it too. i stopped using limewire because it got too big...then i left windows forever. | 05:59 |

| linux_is_my_hero | nevercast: its like getting a divorce...lol | 06:00 |
| bribroder | haha, /nick bribroder_is_my_hero | 06:00 |
| NeverCast | linux_is_my_hero, it might take a while longer | 06:00 |
| NeverCast | linux_is_my_hero, Haha yeah :P | 06:00 |
| bahie | hey.. where i can view all my system icons? i forgot the directory :'( | 06:00 |
| linux_is_my_hero | nevercast: i like the pwoer and versatility of windows, just not all the unnecessary backdoors and the fact that it uses a lot more system resources | 06:01 |
| soreau | bahie: /usr/share/icons? | 06:01 |
| karen20100702 | Please somebody post their "ls -la" output for their home dir on pastebin, I need to fix my permissions! | 06:01 |
| tik_ | hi | 06:01 |
| soreau | karen20100702: try chown -R $USER $HOME | 06:01 |

| Dr_Willis | karen20100702: most everhting is owned by the user | 06:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | goodnight everyone | 06:02 |
| NeverCast | linux_is_my_hero, Lol.. Yeah Windows is a whore, but I love Windows 7 | 06:02 |
| karen20100702 | soreau: thanks, but the owner is fine, it's the permissions. Dr_Willis: Yes, but some things need a specific permission otherwise they are ignored, e.g. .dmrc has to be always 0644. THere are others that I can't remember | 06:02 |
| bribroder | Roasted, I think that drivers for the AR card in my netbook aren't even included in the 10.04 release anymore :p | 06:02 |
| bahie | soreau, yes.. thanks but there is also one more place.. | 06:02 |
| Roasted | bribroder, what.. why? | 06:02 |
| Roasted | why would they kick drivers out? | 06:02 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, i got an idea just did it to myself | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | karen20100702: you can delete .dmrc and it will get remade as needed | 06:02 |
| v1ad | works great | 06:03 |
| v1ad | the new flash player | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | karen20100702: .ssh and the files in it are also special i recall | 06:03 |
| leoechevarria | hey there | 06:03 |
| bribroder | Roasted, I tried booting it into a minimal install and the network cards aren't detected | 06:03 |
| MaRk-I | karen20100702: http://pastebin.com/KpQttRXL | 06:03 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, go to the flash website and download the .tar.gz | 06:03 |
| karen20100702 | MaRk-I: Thanks very much! | 06:03 |
| Roasted | bribroder, is it perhaps possible that the minimal install, by default, supports quite a bit less? | 06:03 |
| v1ad | linux_is_my_hero, flash player and extract it to your desktop | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: wired or wireless network cards? | 06:04 |
| v1ad | o he left | 06:04 |
| leoechevarria | i just got one little question: i've just installed ubuntu lucid in a hard drive containing windows xp. Now when i try to update grub it doesn't find windows installation. I haven't deleted any partition of the installed windows (i've just resized it), any idea? | 06:04 |
| bribroder | karen20100702, move the things you want to keep to a backup folder and get yourself a new profile | 06:04 |
| v1ad | just installed the new flash 32bit on my x64 system works great | 06:04 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, Roasted, one second, testing some more | 06:05 |
| TiK_ | i installed th 64 bit flash works great | 06:05 |
| bahie | v1ad, now watch the cpu usage.. | 06:05 |
| bribroder | it's fast and furious in here this friday night | 06:05 |
| bahie | TiK_, lovelt cpu ussage aint it? | 06:05 |
| TiK_ | lovelt? | 06:05 |
| v1ad | bahie, got the i7 920 and overclocked to 3.6 | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: actually its sort of quiet. :) | 06:05 |
| bahie | v1ad, doesn't matter..probably will consume 20% of ur i7..which is ALOT | 06:06 |
| OpenNoob | how can I tell if I am getting the proper performance from my video card chip | 06:06 |
| v1ad | bahie, 8 cores 4 physical 4 virtual. will never reach 20 % | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | OpenNoob: and whats your video card? | 06:07 |
| karen20100702 | Woo! Solved. Needed to clear /tmp aswell, as all the locks had the wrong permission | 06:07 |

| abhijain | hello | 06:09 |
| TiK_ | hi | 06:09 |
| abhijain | everyone | 06:09 |
| abhijain | help me i want cd dvd writer for ubuntu lucid | 06:09 |
| Kardos | k3b? | 06:09 |
| ubuntu | hello can someone help me correctly install ubuntu and windows seven in a dual boot...i already have windows 7 installed and i am in the partitioning step for ubuntu's installation | 06:09 |
| TiK_ | choose advanced | 06:10 |
| Kardos | abhijain, k3b? | 06:10 |
| maco | ubuntu: simply select the "install alongside the existing os" option. itll show a diagram of how much of the disk goes to each OS | 06:10 |
| v1ad | bahie, looking and my cpu and can't even tell a loss of performance with flash running | 06:10 |
| abhijain | Kardos: gnome baker | 06:10 |
| maco | ubuntu: you can grab the handle and drag it a bit to determine how many GB of your hard disk go to windows and how many to ubuntu. thats all you need to do | 06:11 |
| TiK_ | nah chose advanced | 06:11 |
| Kardos | ok use that | 06:11 |
| maco | TiK_: that requires far too much explanation and has no net benefit | 06:11 |
| abhijain | Kardos: which one is best | 06:11 |
| Kardos | ive only used k3b. it does what i need to do :) | 06:11 |
| ubuntu | maco i would like to partition manually though... could you help me put the correct settings on the new partition | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I do find that windows can resize the windows partitions faster then the resizer tool in the ubuntu installer. | 06:11 |
| Kardos | that seems like a data-dependent situation DrW | 06:12 |
| mirskens | i am seeking advice on an audio problem -- using ubuntu on a sony laptop -- audio is coming in very quietly through headphones and not at all through the main speakers. All levels are maxed in alsamixer. Any suggestions? It previously worked fine in Windows 7 (recently switched to ubuntu) | 06:12 |
| TiK_ | ububtu: choose advanced and select the partition | 06:12 |
| Kardos | a fair comparison would have to have the same files arranged in the same fashion before resizing | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: you may want to use windows to resize the partition (shrink it) and leave a section of the HD unallocated at the end for you to do your custome partioning layout in. | 06:12 |
| ubuntu | tik: yes i am there | 06:12 |
| maco | ubuntu: its not going to be any different... but sure fine. just edit the existing windows partition so its set to a smaller size. add a new partition thats 2x the size of your ram and set it to "use as: swap" then for the rest of the empty space set it to "use as: ext4" (or ext3 if you want something more tried-and-tested but a bit slower) and set its mount point to / | 06:12 |
| TiK_ | ubuntu: you can select the old partition under advanced | 06:13 |
| ubuntu | i clicked on the free space and selected add... should i choose primary or logical | 06:13 |
| bribroder | *cries* why is my flash stick refusing to umount? | 06:13 |
| sdwrage | Hey guys. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Plug & Play (Yeah yeah... Micro$haft)... is there a way to get it to play nicely with Ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| maco | TiK_: primary | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Kardos: ive have seen it be like 4x+ faster.. Not tried it in win7. or in 10.X but about a year ago. it took windows about 10 min to resize and ubuntu took like 40+ min. | 06:13 |
| TiK_ | why would he make another partition on his windows 7 drive when he has a ubuntu one alrady | 06:13 |
| TiK_ | he allready did that | 06:13 |
| maco | TiK_: you can have 4 primaries or you can do 3 primary and 1 logical. since you only need 3 partitions total though, primary is fine | 06:13 |

| abhijain | Kardos: i want to install xp3 in my system but i know that occur the grub issue. is there any possibility to solve or recover in lucid | 06:13 |
| ubuntu | Dr_Willis i already have my windows partition the size i want it to be | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive also noticed lately windows7 comming with all 4 primary partitions allready setup and used.. making resizing much harder. | 06:14 |
| maco | TiK_: no he doesnt... | 06:14 |
| TiK_ | yes he does | 06:14 |
| maco | TiK_: he said he has windows and now he's trying to install ubuntu | 06:14 |
| Kardos | yeah but ya gotta do a fair comparison!! if ubuntu has to move 50gb of files, and win7 has to move 2gb, obv win7 wins | 06:14 |
| TiK_ | no | 06:14 |
| maco | TiK_: he said nothing about already having ubuntu there | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: so repartition the otehr space as needed. I tend to use 4 primaries. (windows) (/) (/home) and (swap) | 06:14 |
| TiK_ | he sid he is trying to fix an allready installed ubuntu | 06:14 |
| Kardos | anyway, kind of a tangent to whatever the actual discussion is on, carry on! | 06:14 |
| maco | TiK_: and will you please learn to highlight people instead of talking to the wall? | 06:14 |
| maco | TiK_: no he didnt | 06:15 |
| maco | TiK_: all he said was "hello can someone help me correctly install ubuntu and windows seven in a dual boot...i already have windows 7 installed and i am in the partitioning step for ubuntu's installation" | 06:15 |
| maco | TiK_: nothing there about a broken install | 06:15 |
| sdwrage | anyone know? | 06:15 |
| ubuntu | yes i already have windows installed on a 100 gb partition...now i want to install ubuntu and i am in the partitioning step ... there is about 60 gb free space | 06:15 |
| Kardos | abhijain: sorry i dont understand what you're talking about :/ | 06:15 |
| maco | sdwrage: i dont even know what a sidewinder is. sounds like a remote control toy car | 06:16 |
| maco | sdwrage: in fact i remember remote control toy cars by that name | 06:16 |
| scripwarlock | howdy | 06:16 |
| sdwrage | maco, It is a gamepad controller | 06:16 |
| scripwarlock | any improvements abou splash in lucid? | 06:16 |
| maco | scripwarlock: uhhh as compared to...? | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | scripwarlock: its using Plymouth now. Not usplash or whatever other splash's have beenused in the past. | 06:17 |
| prince_jammys | you'd need the remote control toy car kernel modules | 06:17 |
| abhijain2 | Kardos: grub issue | 06:17 |
| hotfloppy | ubuntu : just put your cd and follow on screen instruction.. make sure to choose side by side installation.. or if you prefer, you can manually arrange the partition.. | 06:17 |
| scripwarlock | hmm some of my mahcines in my cyber shop reso is 800x600 | 06:17 |
| ubuntu | for the ubuntu partition should i choose primary or logical? and what should be the mount point? | 06:17 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, do you have any thoughts on swapd vs. a swap partition? | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: My old MS sidewinder gamepad has worked for me in the past. Its possible you need to manually load a module for it. | 06:17 |
| abhijain2 | Kardos: grub issue dual boot with xp3/ windows in lucid | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | prince_jammys: i always set up a swap partition at the end of every HD on my systems. | 06:18 |
| Sam_Fisher | Howdy Ya'll | 06:18 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, choose primary and the mount point is / | 06:18 |
| scripwarlock | dunno if this bug or just a default splash reso | 06:18 |
| Kardos | yeah sorry you were talking about burning software before, i missed the transition | 06:18 |
| prince_jammys | Dr_Willis: cool :) | 06:18 |

| bribroder | ubuntu, how much ram do you have? | 06:19 |
| ubuntu | bribroder i have 4gb of ram | 06:19 |
| hotfloppy | ubuntu: so, need some more help? if not, good luck then :) | 06:19 |
| sdwrage | Dr_Willis, what do you mean? | 06:19 |
| abhijain2 | guys i want to install windows on my another partition can any body help me how can i recover my grub after installation | 06:19 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, it's generally considered unnecessary to have a swap partition with +2gb of ram | 06:20 |
| scripwarlock | abhjain, what version of ubuntu using? | 06:20 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, I recommend installing the package swapd after your first boot | 06:20 |
| scripwarlock | abhijain, what version of ubuntu using? | 06:20 |
| abhijain2 | scripwarlock: 10.4 lucid | 06:20 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, that's a program which dynamically handles a swap file for you and gets rid of it when not needed | 06:20 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, so there's no wasted disk space | 06:20 |
| richie0 | i copied a shell script to install an autopackage file and the mdsums don't match. how do i fix this? | 06:20 |
| ubuntu | ok could you show me how to do that after my first boot | 06:20 |
| scripwarlock | abhijain, plug your usb or live cd | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: devices use 'modules' in ubuntu. You may need to 'sudo modprobe WHATEVER' to get tjhe proper module. Theres several differnt sidewinder gamepads i recall. | 06:20 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, you should probably create a separate home partition for all your personal files | 06:21 |
| abhijain2 | scripwarlock: i have live cd | 06:21 |
| abhijain2 | scripwarlock: den | 06:21 |
| sdwrage | hrm | 06:21 |
| bribroder | but you may want to pad / with a few extra G's | 06:21 |
| sdwrage | Dr_Willis, how would I get the "WHATEVER" | 06:21 |
| scripwarlock | abhijain, start reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 06:22 |
| abhijain2 | scripwarlock: after live cd steps. grub 2 or grub 1 | 06:22 |
| ubuntu | bribroder after i create a separate home partition will ubuntu automatically detect it as the home partition or will i need to change some settings to tell it that i have a separate home partition | 06:22 |
| scripwarlock | grub 2 | 06:22 |
| scripwarlock | abhijain, grub 2 | 06:22 |
| hotfloppy | ubuntu: better to make swap partition up to 2gb if you plan to use hibernation and dont forget to separate /home partition so you can reformat your Ubuntu without losing all you data.. | 06:22 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, as long as you set the mount point of your home partition as /home it will be incorporated automatically | 06:23 |
| sdwrage | Dr_Willis, could I get a list of devices? is there a way to? | 06:23 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, and it doesn't matter if it's a primary or a logical | 06:23 |
| Sam_Fisher | I am buying an AMD X6 1055T from Fry's for $500 and wonder if it will run Ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: what is your exact controller? is it usb? or the older gameport? | 06:23 |
| ubuntu | ok thanks and should the /home be primary or logical? | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: how are you even testing the gamepadd? | 06:23 |
| sigmab3ta | hey guys. logging in takes a really long time on my desktop. like, almost a minute and a half. but it only takes a long time the first time after a reboot - i.e. subsequent logins are like 5 seconds, but if i reboot, getting to the login screen takes like 15 seconds, and then logging in takes forever again. this is uncharacteristic. any ideas? | 06:23 |
| sdwrage | Dr_Willis, emulator | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: I tend to use all primaries. Unless I need more then 4 partitions | 06:24 |
| bribroder | ubuntu: /agree with Dr_Willis | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: try it in some other programs also. , plug it in, check 'dmesg' output after a few sec .. | 06:24 |

| ubuntu | bribroder & Dr_Willis: the windows install has two partitions, one for the system files and one for the OS, and i am creating 3 partitions in ubuntu (/ ; /home ; /boot) that adds up to five. Dr_Willis advised to keep less than four primary (i am not sure if both windows partitions are primary but i am guessing they are) so should i make one of them logical or keep all five of them primary? | 06:38 |
| ubuntu_ | can someone help me with fixing my MBR? | 06:38 |
| ubuntu_ | I tried following the steps on the wiki but it isn't working | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu_: you Must use one logical + extended also | 06:39 |
| jalex_brown | I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to completely disable the status bar in Chromium (the one at the bottom that only shows when pages load or you hover over a link). | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu_: you CANT have more then 4 primaries. | 06:39 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, set your fourth partition to logical | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry, I don't know what that means | 06:39 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, and then you will be able to create more | 06:39 |
| bribroder | ubuntu just make sure your third partition is / and is a primary partition | 06:40 |

| bribroder | blaze||, IMHO you don't need /boot, but if you prefer it, then it should be your third primary partition | 06:42 |
| bribroder | blaze||, after you create your third primary and make your first logical partition, you'll find that the first logical partition doesn't actually appear to exist | 06:43 |
| ubuntu | @bribroder so something went horribly wrong | 06:43 |
| ubuntu_ | hello | 06:43 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: the liveCD can't install grub | 06:43 |
| blaze|| | bribroder, i installed ubuntu 10.04 before and i did not create a /boot partition and it ruined my windows installation somehow so i just want to be safe | 06:43 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, put your error in pastebin or something and drop us a link | 06:43 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: ok | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | blaze||: use of /boot/ does not make windows any safer.. i imagine somthing else webt wrong.. | 06:44 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: this is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458639/ | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | blaze||: dont forget as swap partition also. | 06:44 |
| blaze|| | Dr_Willis it something went wrong with grub and my windows boot loader | 06:44 |
| bribroder | ubuntu can you install it to the master boot record? use /dev/sda instead of sda6 | 06:45 |
| ubuntu | one moment | 06:45 |
| jalex_brown | This is what I'm talking about. | 06:45 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: same error | 06:45 |
| jalex_brown | http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/status-bubble | 06:45 |
| blaze|| | Dr_Willis is it recommended to have a swap partition even though i have 4 gb of ram? if i should, should it be a logical partition? | 06:45 |
| bribroder | I've already mentioned the swapd package as an alternative to a swap partition | 06:46 |
| bribroder | your choice, just like /boot :p | 06:46 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: so what options do I have? | 06:46 |
| === DJGB is now known as djg | ||
| === djg is now known as djgb | ||
| blaze|| | bribroder ok i will install it there, i did not know that was the mbr | 06:47 |
| blaze|| | bribroder, i think i will use swapd | 06:47 |
| bribroder | ubuntu ok I think this is what you need: mount --bind /dev /mnt/new/dev | 06:47 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: what will that do? | 06:47 |
| bribroder | blaze||, ok so you have two windows partitions which are primaries, your /boot partition which is a primary | 06:48 |
| bribroder | you need to add the host's nodes to the livecd environment | 06:48 |
| bribroder | blaze||, and then the rest of your partitions, however many more that follow, are all logical | 06:48 |
| blaze|| | bribroder can i clarify something.... when i make a /boot partition, that is where grub will be installed right? | 06:49 |
| bribroder | blaze||, correct | 06:49 |
| bribroder | AFAIK | 06:49 |
| bribroder | reference Dr_Willis | 06:49 |
| maco | bribroder: not quite how logical works | 06:49 |
| blaze|| | maco how does logical work? | 06:50 |
| bribroder | maco, his logicals will show up as sda5+ though, right? and sda4 won't exist? | 06:50 |
| maco | bribroder: you need an extended partition to put the logicals inside | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | blaze||: i always make a swap partition. of at least 512mb.. You may not want more. | 06:50 |
| maco | you cant just put them right after the primary without encapsulating in an extended partition | 06:50 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: what will that command do? | 06:50 |
| Dr_Willis | blaze||: grub FILES and the kernel can be in /boot/ grub still 'installs' to the MBR of the hard drive. | 06:51 |
| ubuntu | k | 06:51 |
| Dr_Willis | blaze||: i dont see much need for a /boot/ partition except in special cases these days | 06:51 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: it says that it doesn't exist | 06:51 |

| bullgard | What does "stripped" mean in '~$ file /usr/bin/make; /usr/bin/make: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'? | 06:54 |
| bribroder | mcl0vin, the / is your <path> | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | xxxx16480: no need for the caps dude, and keep support in channel | 06:55 |
| anton | part | 06:56 |
| mcl0vin | bribroder: +10000k this is how much please | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard: its a compile thing. You can make the binary, then strip it. Not sure what's removed but it makes it smaller as far as I'm aware. I'd ask in #c | 06:56 |
| bribroder | 10000k = 10mb. 1000k per mb | 06:56 |
| DocPlatypus | okay... just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10. I'm having a problem with sound. most desktop apps play sound fine, including Firefox, but one of my games does not (Nexuiz). | 06:56 |

| tripelb | brb | 07:01 |
| bribroder | slgma, let me know if you hear of anyone getting an iphone 3gs to work | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: if you have a cd in the drive and run: sudo lshw -C disk ,does it show the optical drive as having media in. You can use a disk with data on to compare output | 07:01 |
| slgma | well i came across a post about it | 07:02 |
| slgma | but it seemed a bit too over complicated | 07:02 |
| tripelb | act | 07:02 |

| MrNaz | so i have to buy a macbook 15". how well is the hardware in the macbooks supported by ubuntu? still patchy? | 07:02 |

| ActionParsnip | tripelb: might be -C drive ,I never remember which it is :( | 07:02 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, = ActionIntelligence -- I'll try it. | 07:02 |
| tucemiux | youre going to get a mac? LoL | 07:02 |

| kernelshield | I want to modify XMMS logo. How do I change the logo on the panel? | 07:03 |
| kernelshield | It looks ugly, I'm talking about the square logo | 07:03 |
| slgma | i just wanna be able to make ubuntu act like a headset and stream audio from the ipod over bluetooth | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | kernelshield: where did you get 'xmms' from ? | 07:03 |
| slgma | thanks for the help though | 07:03 |
| slgma | but rhythmbox handles wired support easily | 07:03 |
| bribroder | slgma, /facepalm, forgot about that :P | 07:03 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, told me this -- capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd configuration: ansiversion=5 status=open | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kernelshield: right click it -> properties. Then click the icon. You can now set it | 07:04 |
| kernelshield | ActionParsnip. i know but i want to change icon on bottom panel | 07:04 |
| maco | slgma: ipods arent mass storage devices so you cant really mount them to access stuff randomly like you would access a folder.. im not sure what youre asking to do can be done in linxu | 07:04 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, oops the door is open I'll repeat it | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: doh | 07:04 |
| slgma | first of all they are mass storage devices | 07:04 |
| slgma | and can be mounted with no configuration | 07:05 |
| slgma | and you can access files/folder and all that | 07:05 |
| blaze|| | bribroder can i send you a pm? | 07:05 |
| bribroder | sure | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kernelshield: not sure there. If you modify the .desktop in /usr/share/applications it may respect it | 07:05 |
| slgma | you can also sync the music with rhtyhmbox just fine | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kernelshield: copy the standing one to $HOME so you have the original | 07:05 |
| slgma | what im trying to do is possible because i seen a post about it from a month or two ago, it just seemed over complicated for such a simple process and was wondering if anyone figured out a better way | 07:05 |

| bribroder | slgma, you're after bluetooth transfers, right? | 07:06 |

| Dr_Willis | R3cur51v3: check the end of 'dmesg' output after you plug it in also. Its possible it needs a module loaded.. or its possible its not supported by linux. or it maybe broken. | 07:08 |

| NssOne | hello | 07:11 |
| NssOne | i'm having an issue with bchunk is anybody here has any insight | 07:12 |
| frumious | I have a question that is very important to me and you all better answer it in the proper tone, or else! | 07:12 |
| NssOne | just thought i'd try here | 07:12 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, 1. discard almost everything I said. put in a recorded disk. learned it is in drive 0. shows=> configuration: mount.fstype=iso9660 mount.options=ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,utf8 state=mounted ------NOW I look and there is a blank cd in the other drive. Did something get confused becasue of that? now I will see if I can burn. ie I'll try it again. (Yes that shouldnt mess it up but I've been able to burn just fine till this time-o | 07:12 |
| tripelb | f-trials in the last 4-5 days of agony and woe. :) | 07:12 |
| bribroder | ubuntu did you reboot to a livecd and give it another try? | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | I just read the guide he posted. Its not hard at all. Probably thinks its hard because its not using some gui stuff | 07:12 |
| lapion | only problem I have is that I do not get oss-devices in it | 07:12 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: I rebooted | 07:12 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: but I haven't tried again yet | 07:12 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: I have a question | 07:13 |
| NssOne | k, i try using bchunk to convert a bin/toc but i get this "ouch, no space after track" error and nothing happens | 07:13 |
| bribroder | shoot | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: but the terminal is 'scary'! :) | 07:13 |
| NssOne | any insight? | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: totally | 07:13 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: I used a utility to make the live CD rather than just burn the .iso directly onto the flash drive | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: I bet his other pc is a mac | 07:13 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: could that be causing the issue? | 07:13 |
| bribroder | unetbootin? | 07:13 |
| tucemiux | anyone knows how I can bind "CTRL-ESC" to the main menu? | 07:14 |
| |GaiJin| | well... first linux I sat my ass on was gentoo... so the terminal isn't too scary. | 07:14 |
| |GaiJin| | seems some peeps are just abit afraid to learn | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: did you md5 test the iso? | 07:14 |
| R3cur51v3 | Dr_Willis, I get "device descriptor read/64, error -71" | 07:14 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, unetbootin works fine if that's what you used... but if you're on a flash stick, I bet your hard drive is sdb not sda | 07:14 |
| vu1kan | tucemiux: system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts | 07:15 |
| R3cur51v3 | Dr_Willis, that one of the last lines in the output of dmesg when I plug the device in. | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | |GaiJin|: snap. Teaches a lot | 07:15 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, type sudo fdisk -l and see where your root is | 07:15 |
| tucemiux | vulkan which one of the 300 options would it be? im looking at it right now | 07:15 |
| |GaiJin| | thought me alot atleast... very little I remember, but you quickly learn wherte to get help, and how to ask:D | 07:15 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, I thought of mentioning that but figured you were on a livecd :p | 07:16 |
| vu1kan | tucemiux: "show the panel's main menu" | 07:16 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: no I'm on a usb | 07:16 |
| ubuntu | one sec | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | R3cur51v3: You could try it on other machines, or even a windows box see if it works there. Ive not used those sort of devices in ages. but the last one i did use. I just plugged it in. and it worked. | 07:17 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: linux is on sda6 and the linux swap/solaris is sda7 | 07:17 |
| R3cur51v3 | Dr_Willis, even if I don't have drivers, it should still be recognized by lsusb, no? | 07:17 |
| ubuntu | actionparsnip: no I didn't | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: then how do you know the file is error free and complete? | 07:18 |
| tucemiux | vu1kan, thanks!! It worked! and remove the 1 from the nickname please!! 0_o | 07:18 |
| ubuntu | actionparsnip: but it's the same file I used that I had stored on another hard drive as I used to install the ubuntu I'm using now | 07:18 |

| keon | hey, my ubuntu doesnt have any panels anymore, whats wrong? | 07:34 |
| red2kic | !resetpanels | keon | 07:34 |
| ubottu | keon: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 07:34 |
| tripelb | greezmunkey, nope I dont get that. worked a week ago. | 07:34 |
| rema_xz | http://textsnip.com/47ecf9 | 07:35 |
| keon | red2kic, gnome-panel: no process found | 07:35 |
| greezmunkey | tripelb: you are sure the hardware is cool? Have you recently updated your system? What about burning software, changes there? | 07:36 |
| soadkombucha | |GaiJin|: welcome back | 07:36 |
| red2kic | keon: You're not using Gnome? | 07:36 |
| abhi_nav | rema_xz, there is info to authenticate keys here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 07:36 |
| tripelb | greezmunkey, neither drive sees. no hardware changes. ubuntu updates. | 07:36 |
| keon | Im using xfce | 07:36 |
| |GaiJin| | thanks. using the 173 NV>IDIA driver from the hardware thingy makes my video blue. Just switched back to the current version | 07:36 |
| keon | Im very new to ubuntu | 07:36 |
| tripelb | greezmunkey, I also added gnomebaker and tried that ditto | 07:37 |
| shubbar | i compiled installed mencoder, but now its not listed as installed in apt-get or synaptic, how can i fix this? | 07:37 |
| cntrational | keon: xubuntu? that's the name of the xfce version of ubuntu | 07:37 |
| red2kic | keon: Ah I see. I don't know. Somebody with XFCE experiences will have to help you on fixing the panels. | 07:37 |
| tripelb | I just want a working system. Ubuntu NRFPT | 07:37 |
| keon | cntrational, thats what Im using | 07:37 |
| tripelb | it's a project | 07:37 |
| greezmunkey | tripelb: I'd crack the box open, and verify that everything is seated well, and try again first. | 07:37 |
| cntrational | keon: yeah | 07:37 |
| keon | this is bothering my very much, its very inconvenient to not have a panel | 07:37 |
| tripelb | oh, greezmunkey thanks. I'm screwed. | 07:38 |
| keon | Can anyone help me? | 07:38 |
| greezmunkey | tripelb: why? | 07:38 |
| abhi_nav | keon, http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=3477.0 | 07:38 |
| cntrational | iirc, it's called "xfce4-panel" in xfce | 07:38 |
| cntrational | the process, that is | 07:38 |
| soadkombucha | Where do programs install to if they don't go to /opt | 07:38 |
| xangua | keon: xfce4-panel | 07:38 |
| xangua | keon: better ask in #xubuntu for xfce related | 07:38 |
| tripelb | keon could your panel be there? is there a box with a small arrow at the right or the left where the panel should be? (it can hide you know and it does it mysteriously on my computer. | 07:39 |
| abhi_nav | I gave him the link. | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: when using the package manager they can go all over the place where their 'parts' are supposed to go. You can use the package manager tools to see exactly what files they put where. | 07:39 |
| bribroder | soadkombucha, /usr/bin usually | 07:39 |
| prince_jammys | !filesystem | soadkombucha | 07:39 |
| ubottu | soadkombucha: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 07:39 |
| keon | abhi_nav thank you very much, after viewing that topic I tried the first command and got the error xfce4-panel not running, so I ran it and it worked. I dont know why it didnt run itself | 07:39 |
| keon | thanks a lot man | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: /opt/ wouldbe for stuff thats not normally in the repos. or you compiled from source. | 07:39 |
| soadkombucha | Yeah. I just can't find BatMon but it's not running properly anyway. I'll look for something else. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !find batmon | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Found: batmon.app | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !info batmon.app | 07:40 |
| ubottu | batmon.app (source: batmon.app): Battery monitor for GNUstep. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-5build1 (lucid), package size 16 kB, installed size 156 kB | 07:40 |

| soadkombucha | If we're Jamaican maybe | 07:40 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: I found a liveCD | 07:41 |
| soadkombucha | Ugh I need a non-acpi based hardware monitor | 07:41 |
| ubuntu | now what? | 07:41 |
| greezmunkey | Holy manhole covers Batman, they went into the sewers... | 07:41 |
| ubuntu | try again? | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: some gnustep apps do have .app as part of their name. :) | 07:41 |
| bribroder | ubuntu yup, go for it | 07:41 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: Do you know of any hardware monitoring apps that would work with ACPI disabled or am I screwed? | 07:41 |
| abhi_nav | keon, ok! if you first do all your homework ie.. wiki,help pages, man pages and google and respective forum then majority times you may dont need to come here you already get easily answer. ofcourse you are always welcome here too.! ;) | 07:41 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: a link back to that page would be nice :p | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: no idea. I rarely bother with hardware mionitoring | 07:42 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I don't really need to worry about it with a 12 cell battery I just would LIKE to knowe | 07:42 |
| bribroder | ubuntu http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ | 07:42 |

| waieez | Hello, could anyone suggest to me a good program to convert a .bin file to an iso? | 07:43 |
| === me is now known as Guest53877 | ||
| keon | abhi_nav , believe me I did. Im very new to ubuntu and didn't know what the exact problem was so it was hard to find help on the net. My best option was to come here, but I ended up figuring out sort of on my own with your help , thanks again! | 07:44 |
| soadkombucha | abhi_nav: Hardware monitoring needs acpi which I have off | 07:44 |
| abhi_nav | keon, yes you are always welcome here. :) | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: if acpi was working. You may get longer battery life also. but ive not had issues with acpi in ages | 07:44 |
| cntrational | keon: a note, the xfce version of ubuntu is usually referred to as xubuntu | 07:44 |
| abhi_nav | soadkombucha, ok | 07:44 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: My computer simply will not boot if ACPI is enabled. | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | waieez: theres one called bchunk i think | 07:45 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: It doesn't matter what distribution I run, it causes kernel crashes | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: that is weird. try 10.10 perhaps? | 07:45 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: if that works - then theres at least a light at the end of the tunnle. | 07:45 |
| abhi_nav | keon, yah. and you alwasy get more information regarding xfce desktop version of ubuntu in #xubuntu channel. if not you can come here always. | 07:45 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I'm not talking just Ubuntu. I tried Fedora, Mint, Arch, OpenSUSE, Zevin, and a bunch others | 07:45 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: It just doesn't work. | 07:46 |
| kickingintender | never heard of zevin | 07:46 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: it says this: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 07:46 |
| Andre_ | good morning from portugal. I'd like to get some help related to installing ubuntu dualbooting with windows, where windows is already installed on my computer. | 07:46 |
| abhi_nav | hi kickingintender | 07:46 |
| ubuntu | then it says it worked | 07:46 |
| soadkombucha | zoran maybe | 07:46 |
| ubuntu | lemme paste it | 07:46 |
| soadkombucha | I can't remember exactly some weird name | 07:46 |
| kickingintender | hi | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Andre_: scandisk/defrag the windows system.. then boot the cd. and follow the installer. It shouldent be too hard. | 07:46 |
| abhi_nav | you mean 'Xandros'? | 07:46 |
| kickingintender | its easy andre | 07:46 |
| soadkombucha | No | 07:46 |
| Andre_ | thanks, Dr_Willis | 07:47 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: this is the out put from the last step: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458653/ | 07:47 |
| soadkombucha | It IS Zorin http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com/2010/06/zorin-3-distro-review.html | 07:47 |
| kickingintender | ok....i know that | 07:47 |
| soadkombucha | Ubuntu derivative, but I was trying to cover my bases | 07:47 |
| bribroder | ubuntu, try restarting, with fingers crossed | 07:48 |
| ubuntu | bribroder: copy that, I'll come back | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: sounds like a underlieing kernel issue - Thats why i suggested trying 10.10 its got a newer kernel. | 07:48 |
| abhi_nav | soadkombucha, here some major linx listed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions | 07:48 |
| kickingintender | Dr_Willis can i resize my ubuntu partition without messing grub2 | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: or perhaps some other sourced based disrtos where you can play with kernels easier | 07:49 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: What's the kernel version? | 07:49 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: I'm on 2.6.32-23-preempt | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: You should be able to. if you just resize. and not move it. | 07:49 |
| kickingintender | with what app | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: no idea. I havent tried 10.10 yet. I dont keep up with kenels. last i had toworry about kernelw as a few yrs back with a 'new' laptop that had flakey linu support. but the next release then fixed all my issues. :) | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: gparted from a live cd. is what i normally use. | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: you may want to give more details as to whatyou are trying to do | 07:50 |
| soadkombucha | Dr_Willis: But I'll try it. | 07:50 |
| abhi_nav | soadkombucha, thats your blog? | 07:50 |
| soadkombucha | abhi_nav: Nope, a friend of a friend | 07:51 |
| abhi_nav | soadkombucha, ohhh | 07:51 |
| kickingintender | i have xp & ubuntu,after installing xp i wanted 2 install ubuntu on 5gb of hdd space but ubuntu took 12gb of hdd space | 07:51 |
| larryAmen | conk 显示温度的 插件,里面的datatype | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: i would suggest at leat 20gb for a useable ubuntu install. | 07:52 |
| tripelb | greezmunkey, I'm not taking it apart. it worked. I have to pay time warner. if I break the connection it will be dead. It's 2 drives ---wait, it can see a pre-burnt disk so that means it is sitting properly,, right? | 07:52 |

| kickingintender | i dont use ubuntu apps as much as i use windows apps | 07:52 |
| greezmunkey | tripelb: yeah, I'd say so. | 07:52 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: you could alwaos use ubuntu inside virtualbox on windows. | 07:53 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: it worked! | 07:53 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: I've never been so happy to see my desktop background! | 07:53 |
| bribroder | soadkombucha, latest kernel is 2.6.32-23. you can check yours with uname -r | 07:53 |
| tripelb | greezmunkey, another day | 07:53 |
| bribroder | Lancelot, that's great :D | 07:53 |
| tripelb | ty | 07:53 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: thanks very much for the help | 07:53 |
| abhi_nav | kickingintender, there are so many great aps for linux. I use them. I hardly go to my vista .though it is geniune. | 07:53 |
| bribroder | Lancelot, you followed the guide, that's the hard part | 07:54 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: i really appreciate it. I was about to give up and reinstall | 07:54 |
| Lancelot | yeah, no kidding :p | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: Yep. I rarely need windows for real 'work' these days :) | 07:54 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, :) | 07:54 |
| bribroder | glad to help | 07:54 |
| * Dr_Willis just wonders why these web sites take 30+ min to print out on his new brother hl printer. they print.. its just real slow.. so i cant figure out where to look at for the issue | 07:55 | |
| kickingintender | utorrent,mysql,quicktime and ms word .....alternatives are not compelling | 07:55 |
| Dr_Willis | The 15+ yr old laser printer seems to print the same sites 100x faster | 07:55 |
| bribroder | someone kill me, my flash drives are refusing to umount | 07:56 |
| veirkov | hey ya!!! | 07:56 |
| kickingintender | then force bribroder | 07:56 |
| bribroder | does anyone know if copy operations across drives can mess with your flash drives? | 07:56 |
| abhi_nav | I am here since about 20 weeks and for the first time i saw Dr_Willis also have some issue to solve. ;) I just seen you helping only. :) | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: try mounting them by hand. | 07:57 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, HL-2040? | 07:57 |
| kickingintender | he meant unmount willis | 07:57 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: no, not in my experience | 07:57 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: I've done it tons of times with no issues | 07:57 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: Yea. Its real weird. I print some gfx inensive web site to the Brother Printer.. it takeing 30+ min to process/spool and print. It could be its just transfering a LOT of data over wireless. | 07:57 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, hmm :) | 07:58 |
| kickingintender | also there isnt a good alternative for daemon tools in ubuntu | 07:58 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, try a different print queue? | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: less image intensive sites dont have the issue. and the old HP printer on the parallel port also prints them faster. | 07:58 |
| Lancelot | bribroder: before I go, could you give me that link again? I wanna bookmark it for future reference | 07:58 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, I see. | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: using the lpd/lpq feature of teh wireless printer right now. I may hook it up via wire and see if it goes any better.. but thats defeating the purpose of me buying a wireless printer. :) | 07:58 |

| kickingintender | Dr_Willis can u tell me alternative for mounting iso images in ubuntu | 07:59 |
| Lancelot | bribroder, thanks again | 07:59 |
| zeffire_s | can someone please tell me what is the "source code" option on the "ubuntu software" tab at the "software source" ? | 07:59 |
| bribroder | haha have fun with microsoft | 07:59 |
| bribroder | have a good night, Lancelot | 07:59 |

| Lancelot | you too | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I need to track down a 'better' web site printing front end. Firefox and other browsers juat have way to many issues these days with some sites. For example I get 1 page thast actually prints from this (very neat info) site | 08:00 |
| abhi_nav | kickingintender, furiousiso mount? | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Graphic-Cards.130.0.html | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Page 2 of 2 - is totally blank. so i loose half the info on the site | 08:00 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, can you use IPP instead of lpd/q? | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: when in doubt use the Mount command. | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: it might be able to. the printer showed up as like 5 different 'things' in the CUPS scans.. smb, ipp, and a few others. | 08:01 |
| kickingintender | abhi_nav do u think can i mount other types of images also with that tool | 08:01 |
| zeffire_s | can someone please tell me what is the "source code" option on the "ubuntu software" tab at the "software source" ? | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: right now its using --> dnssd://Brother%20HL-2170W%20series._printer._tcp.local/ whatever dnssd: is | 08:01 |
| abhi_nav | kickingintender, give it a try. see its discriptin in ufs | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zeffire_s: that enables the 'source' repoositories. if you ever need them. Most people dont | 08:02 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, my brother is slightly better behaved with IPP, but similarly slow | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zeffire_s: if you ever want to do development, or compile stuff/recompile packages | 08:02 |
| zeffire_s | Dr_Willis: i will unchecked it. i dont want the source code of the softwares.. | 08:02 |
| abhi_nav | zeffire_s, it is used to tell the ubuntu if user wants to download the source of repsective software or not? if not selected it will only download program if selected it wll also donwload its source code. source code is the tihng used to compile and install program. in short its the code | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zeffire_s: it dosent install the code till you ask for it. but removing it will gain a little speed on updates | 08:03 |
| inertial | in ubuntu netbook edition how do i change the command line of shortcuts on the 'desktop'? i need to add an extra argument to one | 08:03 |
| brunsgenus | Does anyone know where I could find an irc with programmers in it? I need to find one to pay to do some website work. | 08:03 |
| zeffire_s | Dr_Willis abhi_nav: ok thank you! | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: i will try that. So far this slowness is the ionly issue ive had with that printer | 08:03 |
| maco | brunsgenus: well thats offtopic for here, but maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 08:03 |
| abhi_nav | zeffire_s, welcome. :) | 08:03 |

| abhi_nav | Motilon, file system? for lucid? select ext4 | 08:08 |
| abhi_nav | kickingintender, you will get its info in ubuntu software center (USF) | 08:08 |

| naftilos76 | hi, is there an app in ubuntu that lets me edit boot options like which kernel to use etc? | 08:11 |
| kickingintender | naftilos76 no | 08:11 |
| Dr_Willis | naftilos76: theres limited gui tools for that task. theres the grub2 configs you can edit via a text editor to change most anything. Once you learn how | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | an editor, and /etc/default/grub | 08:11 |
| WXZ | is there anyway to organize files without actually changing their physical location and name? | 08:11 |
| WXZ | like a little virtual drawer which you can hover over? | 08:12 |
| naftilos76 | prince_jammys: i know that! just thought that there would be something else! thnks anyway...\ | 08:12 |
| prince_jammys | naftilos76: i know you know that. i wasn't being entirely serious | 08:12 |
| bribroder | WXZ what do you want to do? how do you want to 'virtually' organize them? | 08:12 |
| WXZ | well a little drawer that I can "hover" over | 08:13 |
| kickingintender | brasero says some plugins are missing how 2 install them | 08:13 |
| WXZ | and it pops out all the files I put in there would be nice | 08:13 |
| WXZ | or atleast some kind of box on my desktop, everything within the box is part of group A or something | 08:13 |
| WXZ | I was (will?) actually go as far as redrawing the desktop background | 08:14 |
| WXZ | but I thought I'd come here before I do something stupid | 08:14 |
| naftilos76 | prince_jammys: my wireless microsoft keyboard ver 1.1 does not work when i get the menu to select kernel but it works if i select to get into the BIOS. have you got any idea what is causing that? is there an option in /etc/default/grub? | 08:14 |
| bribroder | WXZ, so like... shortcuts to files? in a folder on your desktop? | 08:14 |
| WXZ | mmm... that doesn't really work | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | naftilos76: Ive had some machines where USB keyboards dont work in the GRUB menus. but do in BIOS. Theres a 'legacy' usb option in bios that MIGHT make them work in the grub menus. | 08:15 |
| WXZ | unless I name all the shortcuts with a special prefix | 08:15 |
| WXZ | so I know they're all part of the same group :s | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | WXZ: with soft links. you can organize all sorts of things.. but that may get complex | 08:16 |
| bribroder | WXZ, use folders within folders to create groups | 08:16 |
| WXZ | I don't want to use folders though, that's the point | 08:16 |
| naftilos76 | Dr_Willis: ok thanks! I ve got that disabled! I'll try enabling it! thanks | 08:16 |
| WXZ | changing the physical location of the files = a no no | 08:16 |
| naftilos76 | see you in a min... | 08:16 |
| bribroder | WXZ, if you make shortcuts also known as soft links or symbolic links, you can use folders without actually moving the original file | 08:17 |
| bribroder | can someone trigger that thing that tells you to address people you're talking to so it's not lost in the chatter? | 08:17 |
| WXZ | so have a folder of "soft links" is what you're saying | 08:17 |
| bribroder | yeah. | 08:17 |
| prince_jammys | !who | bribroder | 08:18 |
| ubottu | bribroder: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | hehe | 08:18 |
| bribroder | thanks | 08:18 |
| maxwellian | !what | 08:18 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:18 |
| reya2276 | How can I get rhythembox to detect my ipof touch with IOS4? | 08:18 |
| WXZ | well alright, not exactly what I was hoping for | 08:18 |
| WXZ | but thanks | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | WXZ: there's likely an applet/app/gizmo that does what you want | 08:18 |
| bribroder | WXZ, you could try Avant Window Navigator | 08:18 |
| WXZ | googlin' | 08:19 |
| prince_jammys | check out the apps that come with gnome's panel | 08:19 |
| WXZ | all the add-to ones | 08:19 |
| WXZ | I'll do it, but I don't think there are none (atleast in the standard ones, maybe I could d/l some though) | 08:20 |
| frumious | Who would win in a fight, #ubuntu's bots or #debian's? | 08:20 |
| prince_jammys | dpkg is a serious contender. | 08:21 |
| guess | heh | 08:21 |
| kickingintender | (h) | 08:21 |
| bribroder | wxz, check out AWN | 08:21 |
| WXZ | yeah, I'm dling it now | 08:21 |
| bribroder | you can put folders in a dock-like thing and they pop up with their contents | 08:21 |
| bribroder | WXZ, still need to put the links in the folder, though, AFAIK | 08:22 |
| WXZ | I know | 08:22 |
| WXZ | you have any idea how to do the folder thing though? | 08:22 |
| bribroder | so you have a file you want to put in the folder | 08:25 |
| bribroder | right click, make link | 08:25 |
| bribroder | drag to folder | 08:25 |
| WXZ | yeah, I know | 08:25 |
| WXZ | I'm talking about the avant thing, where you can put that folder on the navbar | 08:25 |
| WXZ | and make it pop up | 08:25 |
| abhi_nav | WXZ, i use cairo dock | 08:25 |

| bribroder | WXZ, glad to help | 08:29 |
| abhi_nav | prince_jammys, istunbul | 08:29 |
| bribroder | Anyone know if you can force the minimal install to use another source besides the archive mirrors? | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Yea - my printer is printing faster now. :) The Forums are so handy | 08:30 |
| abhi_nav | :) | 08:30 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, what was the fix? | 08:30 |
| prince_jammys | cool. | 08:31 |
| DanDare | I wont gdm at Ubuntu start. I can just delete /etc/init/gdm.conf ? | 08:31 |
| DanDare | *I dont want | 08:31 |
| bribroder | DanDare, sudo apt-get remove gdm | 08:31 |
| DanDare | oh yeah thanks | 08:31 |
| bribroder | ;) | 08:31 |
| prince_jammys | DanDare: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: chaged the uri, and the driver to the generic plc5 simplied driver. :) let me find the url i used | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461480&highlight=brother+printer+slow | 08:32 |
| prince_jammys | DanDare: or, yeah, uninstall it if that's what you want. | 08:32 |
| bribroder | prince is more correct | 08:32 |
| DanDare | yes sounds just perfect | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: next to the last post on the page.. scroll WAY down. :) | 08:32 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, thanks... I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning, see if I kick it into gear | 08:33 |

| udssr_shorty | hi! do you know when the firefox 3.6 update for karmic will be available??? i thought this would happen shortly after 3.6.4 is released... | 08:34 |
| bribroder | udssr_shorty, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: yea. I bookmarked that url. and added a comment for my exact printer. Hope it gets fixed in the next release. Ive not seen any lost functionality from using the generic drivers. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | udssr_shorty: i had some firefox update today. but I have a lot of extra ppa's enabled. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | udssr_shorty: useing 3.6.6 right now. | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | so it may get ported to the older releases real soon. | 08:37 |
| udssr_shorty | bribroder, Dr_Willis , thanks | 08:38 |

| udssr_shorty | Dr_Willis, ok thanks i will check | 08:39 |
| mikeXy | is it the same code for all pc hardwares to show speed of fans , temperatures of cpu ,hdd, gpu, motherboard ? | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeXy: that sort of info is often very very different from one PC maker/mb/ to another. it can cause a lot of problems | 08:40 |
| mattwj2002 | hi guys.....I have a question how long would it take to convert a 2 TB hard from ext3 to ntfs using a gparted live CD....I know I am off topic a bit | 08:41 |
| mattwj2002 | any ideas? | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Im am not even sure gparted can Convert from ext3 to NTFS. | 08:42 |
| Magellan | hi | 08:42 |
| mattwj2002 | I think it can | 08:42 |
| mattwj2002 | any guesses if it can? | 08:42 |
| mattwj2002 | time guesses I mean | 08:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mattwj2002: try it and see. i dont think it can. | 08:42 |
| Dr_Willis | it would depend on how full the HD is. :) | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | and i would say a few hrs.. to be safe | 08:43 |
| chalcedny | my husband tried to upgrade his ubuntu to 10.04, it's erroring and won't finish the bootup. Verifying DMI Pool Data --- GRUB loading stage 5, GRUB loading, please wait.. and freezes. | 08:43 |
| === VZCB is now known as Princekid | ||
| mattwj2002 | http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php | 08:44 |
| chalcedny | i apologize for needing help - we probably did this before, a few years ago, but I don't have a good memory | 08:44 |
| mattwj2002 | it has complete ntfs abilities | 08:45 |
| KnightStalker | How to make backups from Ubuntu? | 08:45 |
| bribroder | chalcedny, it's no problem, everyone here is a volunteer, not a slave | 08:45 |
| hiexpo | upgrade from one distro to another = train wreck | 08:45 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | oh anyone know a quick way to install beryl on 10.04/ | 08:45 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | ? | 08:45 |
| u_pill | i am using ubuntu 10.04. i write to dns adres textbox this : 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 . now it is looking first to google dns and if it fails it looks for opendns ? is that true ? | 08:46 |
| bribroder | chalcedny, I agree with hiexpo... if possible, backup your data and reformat the machine | 08:46 |
| chalcedny | bribroder, thank you, i do volunteer on another nwtwork and here.. but i hate being stupid. | 08:46 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShadowFoxBiH: bereyl's been deprecated for quite some time now, everything's been rolled into compiz-fusion (which is installed by default and activated automatically on compatible hardware on Ubuntu) now | 08:46 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | oh | 08:46 |
| bribroder | chalcedny, upgrading can be a tremendous hassle, and a fresh install takes about 20 minutes depending on hard drive size | 08:46 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hmm what hardware is required for compiz? | 08:47 |
| bribroder | u_pill, that's correct | 08:47 |
| chalcedny | bribroder, he didn't do backups and has things we can't lose | 08:47 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah I just installed ubuntu today | 08:47 |
| u_pill | bribroder ok. thanks! | 08:47 |
| chalcedny | i could scream | 08:47 |
| mattwj2002 | it was really fast! | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: hardware withs upported 3d drivers. | 08:47 |
| mattwj2002 | 10.04 is great! | 08:47 |
| bribroder | chalcedny, you have a live cd, right? no external backup drive? | 08:47 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | ok so does that include integrated graphics or no? | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: totally depends on the chipset. | 08:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShadowFoxBiH: depends on the chipset | 08:48 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | hmm | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | the fact they are Integerated - dosent matter | 08:48 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | ok well I have a newer chipset | 08:48 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | inte mobile 4 chipset | 08:48 |
| hiexpo | chalcedny, not knowing is notdefxined as stupid /// stupid is answering a ? you don't know the answer to | 08:48 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | intel* | 08:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShadowFoxBiH: Intel 915 an up support it, SiS don't as near as I can tell and I have no clue about VIA | 08:48 |
| hiexpo | ^ not defined | 08:49 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | well mine is newer than the 915 chipset | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: try enabling compiz and play with the effects.. see if they work | 08:49 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | how do you enable it? | 08:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | ShadowFoxBiH: easiest way to check is to go into System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and see if it's set to either "Normal" or "Extra" and if not, try selecting one. You'll be told one way or the other if they work or not | 08:50 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | i have extra on | 08:50 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | no issues | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: then its working.. :) | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: hold down the windows key and move the mouse wheel | 08:50 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: are you still there? | 08:50 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah I am here | 08:50 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the 'zoom' feature my wife loves | 08:50 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | lol its nice | 08:51 |
| hiexpo | alsoneed simple ccsm | 08:51 |
| mattwj2002 | what is up? | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | ShadowFoxBiH | 08:51 |
| ubottu | ShadowFoxBiH: 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/ | 08:51 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | thanks | 08:51 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | I am used to fedora but ubuntu is not exactly the same | 08:51 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: I wouldn't take that 'complete ntfs capabilities' too seriously. Unless it's changed recently, ubuntu's ntfs implementation still lacked some key features e.g. a full filesystem check capability. And I'm with Dr_Willis about converting from ext3 to ntfs -- I don't recall anyone ever doing that via gparted before... | 08:52 |
| mattwj2002 | hmm | 08:53 |
| hiexpo | ShadowFoxBiH, get simple ccsm also me be on there already not sure but with it you can do even more neat stuff | 08:53 |
| mattwj2002 | I'll let you know in about 20 minutes | 08:53 |
| mattwj2002 | I thought I did it before | 08:53 |
| mattwj2002 | I just couldn't remember for sure | 08:53 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: I definitely believe that you could create an ntfs partition and copy the contents of an ext3 partition to it, but an in-place conversion sounds unlikely, to be honest... | 08:54 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | is there really a rain feature? | 08:54 |
| delete_w | i am using ubuntu 10.04. from live cd conky and "system monitor" shows that i am not using swap space(ok for that). but when i install it on hdd conky and "system monitor" shows that i am using 1 gb swap space. but i am sure that i have not make a swap space on installation. i re-installed ubuntu again but the problem not solved. my hardware is good : i have 2gb ddr2 ram, intel with 4 cpu. normally i have never use up on 1 gb ram. so why ubuntu uses swap spa | 08:54 |
| hiexpo | delete_w, you need swap | 08:54 |
| delete_w | hiexpo: no i dont need. | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadowFoxBiH: compiz has so many useless eyecandy effects..its scary | 08:55 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | lol well time to find out how many there actually are | 08:55 |
| bribroder | delete_w, did you let ubuntu automatically partition the hard drives during the install? | 08:55 |
| delete_w | hiexpo: i normally always have at least 1 gb free on my ram. | 08:55 |
| delete_w | bribroder: no. i did manually. | 08:55 |
| delete_w | bribroder: i look for gparted for a swap space but there is no a swap space. | 08:56 |
| Loshki | Dr_Willis: useful eyecandy. Interesting concept.... | 08:56 |
| SwedeMike | delete_w: linux will generally swap out unused memory so it can have a more effective disk cache, you can google for "swappiness" if you want to change this behaviour. | 08:56 |
| zus | dones one need to sign up and register with hulu b4 downloading hulu desktop for linux? or no? | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | You really Do want at least a small swap partition. That can save your backside if somthign goes berzerk and starts grabing all the ram. I also recall some benchmarks ages ago (out of date? now) that showed even if not used. some how you did benifit from having a small swap parittion. | 08:56 |
| bribroder | delete_w, type free-m and pastebin the output | 08:56 |
| bribroder | sorry, free -m | 08:56 |

| techproman | hi | 08:59 |
| halvors | I have set Some startup programs by the "Setting Programs to Start Automatically When You Log In" in the Startup programs dialog. But how remove them again? | 08:59 |
| halvors | Also dont start up last session... | 08:59 |
| bribroder | wow, I guess you have swap... does it show up in fdisk? | 09:00 |
| techproman | hi | 09:00 |
| SwedeMike | !hi | techproman | 09:00 |
| ubottu | techproman: 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! | 09:00 |
| techproman | whats up? | 09:00 |
| Meekro | So I installed the Intel i7 980X CPU (3.33 gHz, 6 cores with hyperthreading) on my server, but /proc/cpuinfo is reporting each of 12 cores at only 1600mHz. That doesn't seem right | 09:00 |
| zamnedix | anyone know if theres a window manager out there that supports windows that rotate or change shape? | 09:00 |
| SwedeMike | Meekro: it'll clock down the CPUs when they're not used to save power. | 09:01 |
| halvors | Anyone kan help me? | 09:01 |
| techproman | With what? | 09:01 |
| Meekro | SwedeMike: but it's still aware of their full potential when they're needed? is there any way I can clock them up to convince myself of that? | 09:01 |
| halvors | have set Some startup programs by the "Setting Programs to Start Automatically When You Log In" in the Startup programs dialog. But how remove them again? Also dont start up last session... | 09:01 |
| halvors | With this.... | 09:01 |
| SwedeMike | Meekro: do something that'll keep them busy and check. play a media file or something | 09:02 |
| dugger5688 | Meekro: CPUs are scaled down. With a CPU that fast it will rarely go very high. | 09:02 |
| Loshki | Meekro: isn't there some kind of benchmark you can run? | 09:02 |
| Meekro | Loshki: if you know of a good CPU benchmarking tool, I'd love to give it a shot | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | zamnedix: there was one called 'metisse' (i think thats spelt right) that had all sorts of weird effects like that. Compiz has Some features like that. but it depends on wha tyou need. | 09:03 |
| dark_ace_cipher_ | o/ | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | zamnedix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metisse | 09:04 |
| Loshki | Meekro: I see a bunch of hits when I google "ubuntu cpu benchmark". Poke around those a bit... | 09:04 |
| zamnedix | Thanks | 09:04 |

| KnightStalker | hmm I actually want to clone ALL of my Ubuntu | 09:05 |
| zamnedix | Thanks Dr_Willis | 09:06 |
| SwedeMike | halvors: ask your question once every 30 minutes or so until someone answers, don't harass people. | 09:06 |

| KnightStalker | !automate | 09:06 |
| SwedeMike | !details | xtheunknown0 | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 09:06 |
| ubottu | xtheunknown0: 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 ..." | 09:06 |
| halvors | I only mean that is bad that you can do some Options but not get it back to default.... | 09:07 |
| halvors | Bad!!!! | 09:07 |
| bribroder | halvors, open the CLI and go to ~/.config/autostart | 09:07 |
| Loshki | KnightStalker: Ironically, that isn't what ubottu calls cloning. You want to look for 'bare metal backup' or some such... | 09:07 |
| oCean_ | xtheunknown0: describe your issue (detailed) to the channel (try to keep it in one single line) | 09:07 |
| halvors | I should do it in GUI | 09:07 |
| delete_w | bribroder: what you mean what happened ? | 09:07 |
| xtheunknown0 | @ubottu: I enter my password, it's the right password, the screen flashes like I'm about to log onto Lucid, but then it goes back to the login screen. | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: ubottu is a bot. :) ie: a program. | 09:08 |
| delete_w | bribroder: i have not make any swap space. so which space using ubuntu now ? | 09:08 |
| bribroder | delete_w, does your mysterious swap space show up in fdisk? | 09:08 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: try making a new user. see if they can login. | 09:08 |
| SwedeMike | delete_w: did you even read the swap FAQ page I pasted to you? | 09:08 |
| bribroder | halvors, CLI = command line interface | 09:08 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, also try "failsafe" option in the login window | 09:08 |
| xtheunknown0 | How do I make a new user using the command line? | 09:08 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: sudo adduser billgates, then sudo passwd billgates | 09:09 |
| halvors | bribroder: And then? | 09:09 |
| delete_w | SwedeMike: i have already read it. many time. i just found to kill command to use swap space. but this is just a temp solution. | 09:09 |
| halvors | But its bad it is no GUI, it do Ubuntu useless for normal users... | 09:09 |
| bribroder | halvors, delete the items from the autostart folder you don't wish to start anymore | 09:09 |
| delete_w | bribroder no. ithere is no a space 1 gb on my all hdd. | 09:09 |
| SwedeMike | delete_w: look in /etc/fstab, there will be a line regarding swap there. | 09:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !autostart | 09:09 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 09:09 |
| halvors | Is does not list up anymore... | 09:10 |
| corecode | hey | 09:10 |
| nowimproved | uh I always forget | 09:10 |
| MadRobot | Hi all. It seems I have the following apt authentication issue. I'm really not sure how to fix it: http://pastebin.com/EecBqL49 | 09:10 |
| nowimproved | how to I switch to gnome | 09:10 |
| MadRobot | And help please? | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even have an Autostart folder that i can find. :) | 09:10 |
| bribroder | halvors, then get dirty and get in the CLI. the sooner you start, the sooner you master it | 09:10 |
| MadRobot | Any* | 09:10 |
| nowimproved | from fluxbox, back to the default setup that is | 09:10 |
| corecode | somehow my /dev/shm is not created with go+w | 09:10 |
| corecode | where can i set this? | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | nowimproved: at the login screen. menu item at bottom. | 09:10 |
| corecode | chromium needs this to run | 09:10 |
| KnightStalker | Loshki: where can I find a bare metal backup software? | 09:10 |
| delete_w | SwedeMike: no any swap work on fstab file. | 09:10 |
| nowimproved | Dr_Willis, I don't have that, I have to move a file.. | 09:10 |
| bribroder | delete_w, pastebin your fstab? | 09:11 |
| halvors | bribroder: If it is not possible i will go to reinstall my computer, and switch to Window (Much better)... | 09:11 |
| xtheunknown0 | No, billgates can't log on either | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nowimproved: You are logging in via the console and using startx ? | 09:11 |
| delete_w | bribroder http://textsnip.com/4eca65 | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nowimproved: the .Xsession and .xinitrc files are normally used by startx | 09:11 |
| oCean_ | delete_w: the command "swapon -s" should show you which partition(s) and/or files are used as swapdevices | 09:12 |
| nowimproved | Dr_Willis, oh yes | 09:12 |
| Loshki | KnightStalker: check out http://www.mondorescue.org/about.shtml | 09:12 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, did you try the "failsafe" option in the login window? | 09:12 |
| delete_w | oCean_: FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority | 09:12 |
| delete_w | /dev/ramzswap0 partition10302320100 | 09:12 |
| delete_w | 09:12 | |
| bribroder | halvors, if you're giving up you can /leave | 09:12 |
| xtheunknown0 | I was sudo apt-get "removing" lots of the things beginning with evolution; I think I might have removed sth like acpi, I just used a lot of tabbing | 09:12 |
| MadRobot | How do I fix an apt authentication problem? | 09:12 |
| xtheunknown0 | How do I try failsafe? | 09:12 |
| halvors | bribroder: I want to do it with GUI not CLI | 09:13 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, it's in the session drop down box iirc | 09:13 |
| SwedeMike | delete_w: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7268741 | 09:13 |
| arunkumar413 | i'm trying to build NM 0.8.0.997.i tried to install by typing ./configure got this output http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JA1TfjaP | 09:13 |
| bribroder | halvors, your GUI is clearly not working. you need to try something else. | 09:13 |
| xtheunknown0 | I don't understand codebrainz | 09:13 |
| codebrainz | KnightStalker, if you just want a bit for bit backup, you can use dd or one of it's descendants. | 09:14 |
| halvors | bribroder: It's bad it not are possible to use Ubuntu for normal user. You need to be a programmer to use it? | 09:14 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, where you type your username/password, there should be a drop down box for session, and in there, there should be a "safe" option or some such | 09:14 |
| bribroder | halvors, maybe you're not a normal user | 09:15 |
| xtheunknown0 | Ah - I must have sudo apt-get removed it because I only have Language and Keyboard !!! :o | 09:15 |
| bribroder | halvors, maybe you should take the advice offered to you | 09:15 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | lol halvors what in the world are you talking about | 09:15 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | programming yeah right | 09:15 |
| corecode | where do i find the mdadm-raid upstat script? | 09:15 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | do you even know how to program your vcr son ? | 09:15 |
| bribroder | lol i'm a political science student... if I can figure out how to delete the crap from my autostart, you can do it too | 09:16 |
| halvors | I ask, whay is Ubuntu not avaliable to use without useing the terminal? | 09:16 |
| corecode | blabla | 09:16 |
| bribroder | /ignore | 09:16 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | because halvors you are not using windows | 09:16 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, i don't use gdm, but i think it's a different drop down box than that | 09:16 |
| halvors | I have never used Windows before, how is it? | 09:17 |
| oCean_ | !ot | halvors | 09:17 |

| guest2 | it's an excellent workstation os | 09:17 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: your 20 minutes is about up. Do you have anything to report? | 09:17 |
| KnightStalker | and a terrible client | 09:17 |
| delete_w | SwedeMike: OK. i try it. i have to restart to see. if the problem still i will come back. thank you! | 09:17 |
| * Dr_Willis missed the memo on when we 'had to limit ourselfs to the gui' | 09:17 | |
| guest2 | so.. nobody has lucid working with 5770? | 09:17 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | i have lucid working with 5970 | 09:18 |
| mattwj2002 | 5 or 10 more | 09:18 |
| bribroder | !manual | Dr_Willis | 09:18 |
| guest2 | how did you get it to boot? | 09:18 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | just seems to be a bit sluggish | 09:18 |
| ubottu | Dr_Willis: 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/ | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: I helped edit that during beta. :) | 09:18 |
| guest2 | my display goes into sleep mode whenever I start X.. | 09:18 |
| bribroder | :p | 09:18 |
| halvors | ShadowFoxBiH: Maybe one reason to people not use Linux ;) | 09:18 |
| xtheunknown0 | codebrainz there are no other clickable items on my login screen | 09:18 |
| bribroder | Dr_Willis, does it explain how to firefox?? | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Now we have all totally frogotten halvors actual problem. | 09:18 |
| guest2 | I installed official ati drivers, fglrx.. nothing works | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: not sure. ive not really looked at the other changes since early beta. | 09:19 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, i'm pretty sure there is, make sure your username is selected, and i think it's along the bottom | 09:19 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: the suspense is killing me.... | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bribroder: i did print it out at work and gave a few copies to people. :) | 09:19 |
| bribroder | lol | 09:19 |
| DocPlatypus | okay, my filesystem just got corrupted and I lost the preferences and administration menus in GNOME. what do I need to reinstall to get them back? | 09:20 |
| arunkumar413 | help me friends | 09:20 |
| lindsaymobil22 | I know this is offtopic but no one is on the ubuntu offtopics or mint offtopics, so, has anyone tried manhattan os beta 1? its based on ubuntu | 09:20 |
| guest2 | there's dozens of confirmed cases on launchpad, and the only official response was a new linux-firmware package in lucid-proposed which doesn't work | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lindsaymobil22: theres always #linux channel | 09:21 |
| bribroder | lindsaymobil22, looks interesting! i may check it out | 09:21 |
| lindsaymobil22 | thanx dr_willis | 09:22 |
| lindsaymobil22 | Dr-Willis what server does it use | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lindsaymobil22: i find most ubuntu variants are not really worth messing with. :) | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lindsaymobil22: Hmm? #linux channel is here on freenode.. | 09:22 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | yeah | 09:22 |
| bribroder | guest2, did you try the Hardware Drivers application? it's usually pretty good with ATI drivers | 09:22 |
| lindsaymobil22 | thank you | 09:22 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | yeah i got my 5970 to work with a new set of drivers | 09:22 |
| xtheunknown0 | @codebrainz - Well it isn't - it's just language and keyboard - not that different to http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/158059-Ubuntu-18-Login-Screen_copy_350.jpg after clicking on username | 09:22 |
| Loshki | lindsaymobil22: just what the world needed. Another linux distro.... | 09:22 |
| guest2 | bribroder, i'm 100% unable to use/start X | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Loshki: but it has prettier thmes and artwork! | 09:23 |
| bribroder | oh, balls | 09:23 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, in that version, you would use the "Select Session..." option in the menu, but i think the new version is a bit different | 09:23 |
| dugger5688 | You guys should remember that when Ubuntu was forked people probably said over in #debian, "oh great another crappy off-shoot" | 09:23 |
| alsayed | hi, | 09:23 |
| guest2 | ShadowFoxBiH, from ati website? | 09:23 |
| alsayed | I'm printing from XP to Ubuntu printer but it's not working. It was working before. now I can't find it in the share but I can see a shared file | 09:24 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | good luck getting drivers from there that work | 09:24 |
| guest2 | where did you get yours from? | 09:24 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | let me find the link | 09:25 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 09:25 |
| mattwj2002 | I have the results | 09:25 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: tell us... | 09:25 |
| xtheunknown0 | Can someone tell me how to try log in using failsafe mode in 10.04? | 09:25 |
| mattwj2002 | you can't convert | 09:25 |
| mattwj2002 | :( | 09:25 |
| bribroder | guest2, can you try startx in TTY 9 10 11 or 12? | 09:25 |
| bribroder | xtheunknown0, hold shift during boot | 09:25 |
| guest2 | i don't have tty 9 10 11 or 12 | 09:25 |
| ShadowFoxBiH | guest2 try the drivers form the ati website seems they got new ones | 09:25 |
| chalcedony | the ubuntu page says not to get 64 bit for regular desktop use? the chip i have is an amd 64, should i just not get it? | 09:25 |
| mattwj2002 | luckily I'll have a bunch of free space | 09:26 |
| mattwj2002 | so I can resize, move, etc | 09:26 |
| bribroder | chalcedony, I've used 64bit on AMDs and Intels in my home desktop, it seems great to me | 09:26 |
| mattwj2002 | it will take a while though | 09:26 |
| Loshki | mattwj2002: remind me why you wanted to go from ext3 to ntfs in the first place? | 09:27 |
| bribroder | xtheunknown0, and when grub shows up select recovery mode | 09:27 |
| arunkumar413 | what does this mean configure: error: wireless-tools library and development headers >= 28pre9 not installed or not functional | 09:27 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, for example, this: http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/20128/gdm_screenshot_buzQpR.png do you see the Sessions drop down? | 09:27 |
| chalcedony | i have 64 bit on my desktop now, but it's 9.04 | 09:27 |
| bribroder | chalcedny, can you backup to an external? | 09:27 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: that means something is not installed right? | 09:27 |
| xtheunknown0 | @codebrainz: no | 09:27 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, or with the default theme: http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/1004/1.png | 09:27 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: but it is installed | 09:27 |
| mattwj2002 | I have a dual boot Ubuntu and Windows | 09:27 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: ? | 09:28 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 09:28 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: the site is a little old and over-consertive I use 64bit whenever i can. How much ram do you have? | 09:28 |
| mattwj2002 | I want access in both operating systems | 09:28 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: i'm trying to build nm from source | 09:28 |
| xtheunknown0 | codebrainz: no again | 09:28 |
| mattwj2002 | Loshki: you still here? | 09:28 |
| === Nijverheid is now known as Guest43521 | ||
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, i suppose it's possible you delete gnome. you could try to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package and have it dragged back in | 09:28 |
| mattwj2002 | dang netsplit | 09:28 |
| chalcedony | i don't know what's on the box i'm building, the issue is that the box can't see the new onboard lan card with 8.04 - needs the upgrade - 1 gig ram - it's not for gaming it's for storage mostly | 09:29 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: yes, and...? | 09:29 |
| === Me is now known as Guest13091 | ||
| xtheunknown0 | I've got the first two (language and keyboard) but like I said, I lost session. | 09:29 |
| arunkumar413 | when i tried to configure i got that error | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: if you have 4gb+ ram - then you will want to go with 64bit - for a fileserver. It proberly wont matter. | 09:29 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: install what it asks for. | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | chalcedony: theres very few reasons to not use 64bit these days | 09:30 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, other than reinstalling gnome (as above), I'm not sure what else you could do. | 09:30 |
| mattwj2002 | qpt what the heck? | 09:30 |
| chalcedony | Dr_Willis, ok ty | 09:30 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: ya tried,it says the version is already the newest.see this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JA1TfjaP | 09:30 |
| bribroder | why is complaining about raping women and calling us fags? | 09:31 |
| oCean_ | bribroder: just ignore please | 09:31 |
| chalcedony | bribroder, ignore it it's someone teasing | 09:31 |
| bribroder | struck me as ironic :) | 09:31 |
| codebrainz | bribroder, his mom wouldn't give him his allowance | 09:31 |
| quietone | lucid is really slow, 5 seconds for most mouse clicks to respond but same hardware works great in gNewSense. Where do I start looking to 'fix' this? | 09:31 |
| xtheunknown0 | Alright then: I sudo iwlist wlan0 scan in CLI, then iwconfig, then dhclient but I can't sudo apt-get anything | 09:31 |
| geohacker | could someone help me as I'm not able to send files from my old nokia 6600 via bluetooth to my lucid box. | 09:31 |
| mattwj2002 | I have found that vnc is really slow with lucid | 09:32 |
| mattwj2002 | unusedly slow | 09:32 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: ok, you're close, but missing the point :) It says it is missing the wirelesstools development files. Not wireless tools itself | 09:32 |
| mattwj2002 | *unusable | 09:32 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: wait, let me see which package it is | 09:32 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: how to proceed | 09:32 |
| guest2 | doesn't even boot on 6-12 month old ati cards ;( | 09:32 |
| damian_-_ | should lamp be in the repos? what package should i be searching for | 09:33 |
| dugger5688 | Ummm... probably Apache and MySQL | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !lamp | damian_-_ | 09:33 |
| ubottu | damian_-_: 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+) | 09:33 |
| guest2 | lighttpd & postgresql | 09:34 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: I think I found the package, but let me show you: Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com, enter "wireless development" in searchbox, tick the descriptions and it'll show up with relevant packages | 09:34 |
| quietone | mattwj2002, not using vnc | 09:34 |
| guest2 | hrm, after reinstalling ati drivers.. 'X' in recovery console now open a blank screen.. but booting ubuntu still causes monitor to go into standby :( | 09:34 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: my guess is you need package "libiw-dev" | 09:35 |
| geohacker | i'm not able send/receive files from my nokia 6600 in ubuntu lucid. using bluez. any clue? | 09:35 |
| gryllida | What application do you recommend me to open / convert .chm (MS HTML Help) files? There are several of them in the Software Center (xCHM, E-book reader, CHM Viewer, ChmSee) -- how do I choose? | 09:36 |
| Dr_Willis | gryllida: try one.. if you dont like it.. try another. | 09:36 |
| guest2 | so, how do i tell what is causing the sleeping monitor issue | 09:36 |
| dugger5688 | lol. | 09:37 |
| bribroder | guest2, does this happen right after a fresh install? | 09:37 |
| guest2 | yes, lucid has no support for 6-12 month old ati cards | 09:37 |
| geohacker | please help me with the bluetooth | 09:37 |
| guest2 | had to use text-based installer.. | 09:37 |
| codebrainz | gryllida, i've used chmsee, it works fine for opening | 09:38 |
| dugger5688 | guest2: which card? | 09:38 |
| guest2 | doesn't even drop back to low-resolution vesa.. | 09:38 |
| guest2 | 5770 | 09:38 |
| bribroder | guest2, :\ I have a Radeon 4850, works perfectly | 09:38 |
| guest2 | but that's 12+ months old | 09:38 |
| bribroder | so specifically that period | 09:38 |
| bribroder | weird | 09:38 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: sorry my network is slow | 09:39 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: Hold shift during boot and choose the recovery mode option. Then choose the root shell with networking option and run "sudo jockey-text" to install the proprietary ATI drivers. | 09:39 |
| gryllida | codebrainz, Dr_Willis, Why are there several of them in first place? | 09:39 |
| guest2 | i'm in recovery mode, I intalled the ati drivers | 09:40 |
| codebrainz | gryllida, choice | 09:40 |
| guest2 | the monitor still goes into standby on boot | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: How did you install them? | 09:40 |
| guest2 | ./ati-driver-intaller* | 09:41 |
| guest2 | installed xorg 7.5 driver for debian-style distro.. | 09:41 |
| guest2 | then i ran ati-config --initial to create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.. | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: It's best to use the packaged drivers. | 09:41 |
| dugger5688 | Boy am I glad I DON'T have ATI :-D | 09:41 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: its asking for dbus | 09:42 |
| dugger5688 | But yes, Jordan_U is correct. | 09:42 |
| bribroder | guest2, have you tried booting with the nomodeset option? | 09:42 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: No package 'dbus-1' found | 09:42 |
| arunkumar413 | No package 'dbus-glib-1' found | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | gryllida: why should there only be 1 :) | 09:42 |
| guest2 | bribroder, via cd or hdd? | 09:43 |
| geohacker | please help with the bluetooth. | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | gryllida: xchm is prioberly using the original/minimal X libs. Others are proberly designed with different goals. and are not as old. | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: In fact, I'm not sure if ATI's installer disables KMS, which is not compatible witht the proprietary drivers. | 09:43 |
| simar | geohacker, whats the matter | 09:43 |
| geohacker | simar: just that I cannot send/recieve files from my nokia 6600 old one | 09:43 |
| geohacker | simar: using bluez. | 09:44 |
| bribroder | guest2, hdd... add it to grub and update-grub | 09:44 |
| techproman | hi | 09:44 |
| techproman | everyone | 09:44 |
| simar | geohacker, geohacker which ubutnu version are you using? | 09:44 |
| guest2 | jordan_u, so i'd need to remove those? any idea what they are called? | 09:44 |
| geohacker | simar: im on lucid. | 09:44 |
| techproman | What good things can you do on ubuntu> | 09:45 |
| techproman | ? | 09:45 |
| techproman | * | 09:45 |
| bribroder | guest2, more specifically, edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" | 09:45 |
| techproman | cause I have it as my main machine | 09:45 |
| bribroder | guest2, then update-grub | 09:45 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: If you insist on rebuilding/compiling it yourself, restart your search at packages.ubuntu.com, and find all dependencies you need. Could be lots of work, that is why we recommend to use packages from the repositories | 09:45 |
| simar | geohacker, whats the error message? | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | techproman: its a computer operationg system.. it does whatever other Computer/OS can do.. basically anything. | 09:45 |
| bribroder | techproman, investigate to discover | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | techproman | 09:45 |

| appi_uppi | Hi, Are there any known issues after upgrading ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 version? | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | geohacker: the other day -i had to use teh phone to pair with the PC befor i could use the 2 together.. if i tried to use the PC to pair with the Phone. it dident work right. | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: First remove the drivers installed by ATI's installer, and the Xorg.conf that it created. Then run "jockey-text" to install and configure the packaged drivers. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | appi_uppi: theres some issues with video cards/drivers and wireless. | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | appi_uppi: but it all depends on yoru exact setup | 09:46 |
| techproman | !help | 09:47 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:47 |
| guest2 | bribroder, that didn't work ;( | 09:47 |
| geohacker | simar: so ? what do you suggest me to do? | 09:47 |
| bribroder | guest2, you followed up with update-grub, yes? | 09:48 |
| appi_uppi | Dr_Willis, Oh ok, then will try to install the fresh one. | 09:48 |
| guest2 | monitor still goes into "no signal" 5 seconds after booting | 09:48 |
| guest2 | ye | 09:48 |
| appi_uppi | Dr_Willis, thanks for your info | 09:48 |
| bribroder | :\ | 09:48 |
| simar | geohacker, try to pair from the phone. Sometimes the connection request from the pc may be of some other format like using some fixed keys etc... | 09:48 |
| geohacker | simar: tried. but still i cannot use the bluetooth DUN nor send files | 09:49 |
| guest2 | Jordan_U, won't that put it into the initial state? | 09:49 |
| simar | geohacker, make your pc discoverable in the option menu in the bluetooth icon | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: No, the packaged proprietary drivers are not installed by default. | 09:49 |
| geohacker | simar: tried that. i can pair, but cannot send/recieve files or use bluetooth DUN | 09:50 |
| simar | geohacker, ok, have you tried this for other phhones? | 09:50 |
| simar | geohacker, does that work? | 09:50 |
| bribroder | guest2, the restricted drivers are definitely a good bed | 09:50 |
| geohacker | simar: yeah it works with other phones. but not with this particular one. | 09:51 |
| geohacker | simar: but i can confirm this is not an issue with my phone. | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive had Phones that connect to each other.. then have a problem with one specific phone also. I can get bluetooth workign good withmy phone -> linux. but i cant get it working from Phone->windows. :) go figure. | 09:53 |
| bribroder | guest2, if restricted drivers don't work, have you tried xforcevesa? | 09:54 |
| simar | geohacker, This is the issue of the command the serial commands that are send while object push or others. 600 is a old phone may have old specifications. try googling around may be you could find somthing then ask in chat .. or you may also ask in ubuntu forums | 09:54 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_:what does this means "Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUS_CFLAGS | 09:54 |
| arunkumar413 | and DBUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details." | 09:54 |
| simar | !kbd | 09:55 |
| guest2 | hrm, Cannot connect to D-BUS when I run jockey-text | 09:55 |
| guest2 | bribroder, not yet | 09:55 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: how to set those variables | 09:55 |
| bribroder | guest2, some forum posts suggest that may work | 09:55 |
| xtheunknown0 | hello | 09:55 |
| simar | xtheunknown0, hi | 09:56 |
| simar | xtheunknown0, what your issue? | 09:56 |
| xtheunknown0 | What is the package for the Session pop-up menu at the bottom of the login screen for Lucid? | 09:56 |
| bribroder | i think that's just part of gdm? | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: Try running "service dbus start" before "jockey-text" | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: those get generated from the various foo.desktop files in specific locations | 09:56 |
| xtheunknown0 | B/c I was sudo apt-get removing a handful of packages using the tab button a lot and now I've lost the Session pop-up menu at the start. | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: for example -> /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop | 09:57 |
| bribroder | is there *any way* to skip loading network drivers on the minimal install? | 09:58 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, like i said before, you're best bet is probably just to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package to drag in all the crap you probably need to get up and running (ie. gnome) | 09:58 |
| simar | Does anyone know what are the packages about is kbd, gpm general purpose mouse driver , evdev and mousedev .. these are drivers but for what purposes ??? | 09:59 |
| simar | HELP | 09:59 |
| === macode|afk is now known as macode | ||
| Dr_Willis | simar: dont do 'HELP' like that.. | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | simar: gpm = mouse support in the console. | 09:59 |
| ikonia | simar: whoaaa calm down | 09:59 |
| xtheunknown0 | A hah - do I need acpi-support, acpid, or any of the evolutions? | 09:59 |
| ikonia | simar: what do you want to do | 09:59 |
| guest2 | "service dbus start" > "unable to connect to Upstart" | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | simar: fire up synaptic and read their descriptions. | 09:59 |
| simar | ikonia, I'm a new triager resaerching on touchpads .. | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | simar: gpm is only needed if youw ant to use the mouse on the console. | 10:00 |
| ikonia | simar: ok - so if you are part of the simar then you should know that this channel is for ubuntu support only, not generic linux questions | 10:00 |
| simar | Dr_Willis, I got gpm . Is it a part of default installation? | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: Did you use the recovery mode boot option or did you do something like adding init=/bin/bash as a kernel paramter to get to a shell at boot? | 10:01 |
| guest2 | i used rescue console | 10:01 |
| xtheunknown0 | I'm trying to apt-get install stuff and I get Could not resolve 'au.archive.ubuntu.com' - what can I do? | 10:01 |
| simar | ikonia, ya thats why i ask question about the general information about packages that i mentioned.. | 10:01 |
| simar | Dr_Willis, whats kbd? | 10:02 |
| guest2 | i guess things are very b0rked... | 10:02 |
| guest2 | i'll try jockey-text after a fresh reinstall | 10:02 |
| simar | xtheunknown0, you have an improper internet connection i suppose | 10:03 |
| guest2 | Jordan_U, should I expect forcevesa to work with the standard iso? | 10:03 |
| xtheunknown0 | @simar: What do you mean by that? | 10:03 |
| guest2 | or should I use the alt iso which takes ~90 mins to install | 10:03 |
| galorin | I just found a USB joypad in my box-o-bits, and I want to get it working. Is there a GUI calibrator and something to do mapping? | 10:03 |
| ikonia | simar: improper internet connection ??? | 10:03 |
| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, the mirror works fine here through firefox, are you connected to the net? can you ping that address? | 10:04 |
| simar | ikonia, I mean not a working connection. I get such errors when the internet connection is down.. | 10:04 |
| simar | xtheunknown0, | 10:04 |
| ikonia | simar: what about DNS - could it not just be a dns issue ? | 10:04 |
| xtheunknown0 | No, I can't ping it | 10:04 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: can you resolve anything else ? | 10:05 |
| xtheunknown0 | How do I try to resolve something else? | 10:05 |
| baero | Hi all, can someone help me? I have hp probook 4515s, and after cca. 10-15min my lcd backlight get lower,,, how to incrace it againt? i can't fix it with power management. Tnx | 10:05 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: can you browse any websites in the browser ? | 10:05 |
| simar | ikonia,may be but i could be about connection also .. | 10:05 |
| xtheunknown0 | I'm in the CLI because I can't actually login. | 10:05 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, try pinging google.com or other websites | 10:05 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: you can't login ??? | 10:05 |
| simar | ikonia, whats the right channel to ask the question about the driver packages .. | 10:06 |
| ikonia | simar: ask with the driver maintainers | 10:06 |
| ikonia | simar: sorry, the package maintainers | 10:06 |
| ikonia | simar: if you look on launchpad.net you'll find out who maintains the package and you can contact them | 10:06 |
| xtheunknown0 | B/c the password I enter is right but the screen flashes and sends me back to the login screen. | 10:06 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: If upstart isn't working properly then you have more serious problems than graphics. | 10:06 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: ok - so how did you get to the command line ? | 10:06 |
| xtheunknown0 | Ctr-Alt-F1 | 10:06 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: you would still have to login to get a command prompt | 10:07 |
| xtheunknown0 | Yep | 10:07 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: ok, now I see where you are going | 10:07 |
| simar | ikonia, ok but i think synaptics is not on launchpad? Does in your knowledge they have a channel on irc? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: you've not logged into the desktop, so gnome-network-manager has not configured your network connection for you yet | 10:07 |
| xtheunknown0 | OK...so what can I do about this? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | simar: synaptics is the package manager, not the package, you want to ask the maintainers of the packages gdm, etc | 10:07 |
| codebrainz | ikonia, doesn't the NetworkManager daemon handle that outside of Gnome? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | codebrainz: no | 10:08 |
| ikonia | codebrainz: only activates when you login | 10:08 |
| ikonia | actually - that's not quite true | 10:08 |
| simar | ikonia, i'm talking about xserver-xorg-input-synaptics this is the touchpad drivers and not a part of x. | 10:08 |
| codebrainz | ikonia, i think only nm-applet is after the login, networkmanager itself should run on boot, no? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | simar: ok - so talk to the person who maintains xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 10:09 |
| ikonia | codebrainz: correct, better description of what I was trying to say, thank you | 10:09 |
| simar | ikonia, ok thanks | 10:09 |
| Jordan_U | guest2: When booting the Desktop CD try pressing f4 and choosing safe graphics mode. | 10:09 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, what my guess is in the configuration file of that nm, you wll find this things | 10:10 |
| Jordan_U | codebrainz: Connections are only made before login if they are "shared to all users" | 10:10 |

| can__ | well tell that to my ibm thinkpad ? i tried ubuntu 9 and possibly ten but it had a fit lol! | 10:21 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | ok hhow do i setup cpufreq properly for my hw? | 10:21 |
| codebrainz | gprajeesh, maybe it's this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/187540 | 10:21 |

| ikonia | joshmuffin: that's not the channel policy, but you're welcome to help in pm, thats super cool | 10:21 |
| nwq6152 | cpufreqhelp5: cpufreq is *not* for overclocking | 10:21 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | can.. th alt instaler are about 700mb | 10:21 |
| joshmuffin | ikonia, okay, sorry for the attitude | 10:22 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | 0.o | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | can__: Most thinkpads should be very well supported. Perhaps check the forums for your exact make/model to see what issues others have had. | 10:22 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | so it can't be used to change the cpu frequency? | 10:22 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: not beyond it's bounds. as I've said, overclocking is a hardware change, not software | 10:22 |
| dugger5688 | ubuntu 9 and 10 don't exist, ubuntu is versioned by $YEAR.$MONTH | 10:23 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | i do have powernow-d... | 10:23 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: that makes no differece | 10:23 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | ikonia, software like cpufreq and powernow d have options to change the cpu freq.. i just need the governer setup | 10:23 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | software changes the hardware settings.. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: they are not used for overclocking | 10:24 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | i can't set things up by hooking wires to random pins... | 10:24 |
| codebrainz | Pirate_Hunter, i think something like ps -A | grep whatever | 10:24 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | software is used for that now | 10:24 |
| dugger5688 | cpufreqhel5: until more recent chips CPU scaling has only been available on Laptops. Recent CPUs have unlocked the multipliers somewhat to allow for scaling but you won't be able to overclock from inside the OS. The max clock is set in the BIOS | 10:24 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | ... | 10:24 |
| nwq6152 | cpufreqhelp5: cpufreq uses standard cpu features to *lower* the freq in order to save battery life. overclocking is very board specific and not what cpufreq is intended for. | 10:24 |
| xtheunknown0 | I've been able to sudo apt-get install acpi-support and acpid but get 404'ed for gnome-applets and the rest of those packages - why??? | 10:24 |
| joshmuffin | xtheunknown0, your sources correct? | 10:25 |
| codebrainz | xtheunknown0, have you run apt-get update? does that run fine? | 10:25 |
| xtheunknown0 | http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 10:25 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | ook.. you can set the front side bus...thats what i want to do..and overclocking is what i want to do | 10:25 |
| xtheunknown0 | codebrainz: no, lol | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: edit the sources.list and remove the au. at the start of those entries. it could be that server is down | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | xtheunknown0: or having issues | 10:26 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | i don't want to change multiplyers in the cpu or it's voltages.. and frontside bus has no locks that i know of.. | 10:26 |
| nwq6152 | cpufreqhelp5: right, and that is not covered by any standards. each board manufacturer does its own proprietary shit. | 10:26 |
| xtheunknown0 | Dr_Willis: nah - it's looking ok | 10:26 |
| dugger5688 | cpufreqhelp5: this isn't the place to ask how to change the FSB speeds. If you don't already know how to do so, then you shouldn't be OC'ing. | 10:27 |
| ikonia | nwq6152: easy on the lnaguage please | 10:27 |
| xtheunknown0 | It's working!!! | 10:27 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | dugger, software called setfsb does not work in linux... | 10:27 |
| nwq6152 | ikonia: just telling what absence of standards is | 10:27 |
| cordel | gay | 10:27 |
| ikonia | nwq6152: yes, but you don't need to use offensive language | 10:27 |
| xtheunknown0 | Now how do I remove billgates (an account temporarily created)? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | cordel: stop that please. | 10:27 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: use the useradmin gui | 10:28 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: system -> administration -> users and groups | 10:28 |
| cordel | huhh | 10:28 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | knwoin g how to mess up text files has nothing to do with wanting my computer to go faster, unless that is my only option in linux | 10:28 |
| xtheunknown0 | What about CLI - that's how I created billgates | 10:28 |
| ikonia | xtheunknown0: userdel -r billgates | 10:28 |
| cordel | ok i want to stream music | 10:28 |
| Nige | hello, I am trying to boot off a live cd, but I have hit the 5750 raedon bug where I am greeted with a blank screen, I am looking for the cure to this problem | 10:28 |
| xtheunknown0 | Thank you, ikonia | 10:28 |
| dugger5688 | cpufreqhelp5: you CAN'T OC from inside an operating system! Your motherboard sets it at boot and is locked until the next cold boot. | 10:29 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | omg.. | 10:29 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | setfsb is not its own operateing system... | 10:29 |
| xtheunknown0 | Awesome - everything works now!!! | 10:29 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | and it can change fsb settings | 10:29 |
| cordel | yeah asus mother boards are awesome for oc | 10:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, will try | 10:29 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: ok, so we need to step back here. This channel is for ubuntu support issues, overclocking your hardware is nothing to do with ubuntu, so try a better channel dedicated to hardware/overlocking | 10:30 |
| xtheunknown0 | Thanks to everyone - include ikonia, your pal around an hour ago and codebrainz! | 10:30 |

| cpufreqhelp5 | ubuntu is the operateing system... | 10:30 |
| kvikende | I try again: Are there any way to remove the Ubuntu specific translations and only use the official GNOME ones? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: yes, and we've told you the tools you want to use are not for overclocking, | 10:30 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | that controls the hw i want to overclock.. | 10:30 |
| === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber | ||
| joshmuffin | cpufreqhelp5, overclocking is a hardware thing, ubuntu is software. | 10:31 |
| codebrainz | cpufreqhelp5, check with your motherboard/cpu manufacturer and see if they provide a linux utility to change this stuff | 10:31 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | is that an ubuntu hardware? or ubuntu overclock? | 10:31 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: this will be the last time it's explained. The tools you want to use in ubuntu are not for overclocking. | 10:31 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | stop saying it's hw only..its not..softaware is used to change these settings.. | 10:31 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: yes, but the software you want to use is NOT for overclocking | 10:32 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | ugh.. | 10:32 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: it's normally do through the bios or specific software, which is not within ubuntu | 10:32 |
| xtheunknown0 | So when you guys get the Update Manger screen, how do you guys decide what to install? Do you google the various packages, do you go here to talk about it, do you go to a forum? | 10:32 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | so there is no ubuntu hw or ubuntu overclocking channel? | 10:32 |
| joshmuffin | nor related to ubuntu | 10:32 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: there is no such thing | 10:32 |
| oCean_ | xtheunknown0: I always install all updates | 10:32 |
| kvikende | xtheunknown0: I take everything. | 10:32 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | so then i'm stuck here... | 10:32 |
| dugger5688 | Even then I wouldn't try to fiddle with FSB settings while running anyway incase it borks something. | 10:33 |
| oCean_ | xtheunknown0: because I trust all my sources | 10:33 |
| joshmuffin | cpufreqhelp5, overclocking has nothing to do with ubuntu | 10:33 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | looking for somone who knows what to do | 10:33 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | -.- | 10:33 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: you're welcome to ubuntu support here, but stop asking for overclocking support, the tools you want to use are not in ubuntu | 10:33 |
| bazhang | try ##hardware | 10:33 |
| yeryry | try ##hardware | 10:33 |
| yeryry | or google | 10:33 |
| yeryry | heh | 10:33 |
| guess | I use 10.04 on a Dell Latitude with Intel Mobile IntelB. GM45 Express graphics chipset. Every once in a while Gnome replaces my screen with something colourful but inreadable, and then quickly returns to the normal display. Is that normal or something to worry about? | 10:33 |
| joshmuffin | cpufreqhelp5, it can be done with or without many different os's depending on your cpu ect | 10:33 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | i tried google, but those comands did not work | 10:33 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: because (as you've been told) the tools you want are not in ubuntu | 10:33 |
| bazhang | cpufreqhelp5, none the less, its off topic here | 10:33 |
| xtheunknown0 | bye | 10:34 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | and apparantly i can't set my fsb or cpu clock speeds with those tools | 10:34 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: correcct | 10:34 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | even tho it's in the softwares documantation and others have used it for overclocking | 10:34 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: what software documentation ? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: please show me the documentation that says it's for overclocking your hardware | 10:35 |
| KnightStalker | how to disable ICMP completely? | 10:35 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | my only issue is those commands don't work for me..and the "govener" has not been setup yet | 10:35 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: show me the documentation that tells me the tools are used for overclocking | 10:35 |
| nwq6152 | KnightStalker: bad idea | 10:35 |
| KnightStalker | nwq6152 :p | 10:35 |
| ja660k | hey, what does this segment mean, in .bashrc in the PS1 variable ... "${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}" | 10:36 |
| codebrainz | cpufreqhelp5, are you talking about the cpufreq utility? | 10:36 |
| dugger5688 | cpu scaling != overclocking | 10:36 |
| codebrainz | cpu scaling == underclocking :) | 10:36 |
| nwq6152 | KnightStalker: for example, disabling icmp make ipv6 unusable | 10:36 |
| KnightStalker | I can make exception for that | 10:36 |
| chirpis | What about plurbs? | 10:36 |
| * joshmuffin is trying very hard not to loose his temper | 10:36 | |
| dugger5688 | yup! | 10:37 |
| nwq6152 | KnightStalker: and in ipv4 disabling icmp, it breaks pmtu discovery | 10:37 |
| chirpis | And skiggles? | 10:37 |
| cameron_ | Who here is a gdm expert? | 10:37 |
| dugger5688 | could always just \/ignore | 10:37 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | well for one thing nvclock defies the theory that i need to use hardware clock..i've used that to overclock my nvidia 5500 successfully | 10:37 |
| KnightStalker | pmtu? | 10:37 |
| nwq6152 | KnightStalker: path mtu discovery | 10:37 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | without editing any bios files | 10:37 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: no more discussion, show me the documentation that shows me the tools you want to use are for overclocking your cpu | 10:37 |
| dugger5688 | Nvidia GPU = controlled by board firmware and can be messed with at runtime w/o bringing the system down. CPU, not so much. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: overclocking a video card is different, show me the documentation that says "these tools are used for overclocking" | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ja660k: PS1 = the bash prompt variable. example --> PS1='---->' | 10:38 |
| nwq6152 | KnightStalker: disable icmp and you will wonder why certain websites won't work anymore | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ja660k: that changes your shells prompt. Theres fancy codes you can use to get different things. | 10:38 |
| KnightStalker | nwq6152,k :p I changed my mind ;p | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ja660k: the ${} stuff is command/variable replacement to get different effects. | 10:39 |
| ja660k | Dr_willis, i know, im trying to be all 1337 and change the colors, but what does... ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)} do? i echo $debian_chroot, and its empty? | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ja660k: that debian_chroot would be a variable set if you are chrooted into a system | 10:39 |
| ja660k | OH | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ja660k: so empty otherwise. :) | 10:39 |
| ja660k | dr_willis, spoke to soon :) thanks | 10:39 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | oh i see | 10:39 |
| joshmuffin | finally | 10:40 |
| redhat | bhjhh | 10:40 |
| oCean_ | !hi | redhat | 10:40 |
| ubottu | redhat: 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! | 10:40 |
| can__ | can you use your sony digital camera as a webcam ? | 10:40 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | linux assumes that everyone buys and builds their own pc's so they must already have bios features that overclock...so you don't have anyone building such software for linux?? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | can__: please stop asking you've been told gos is not supported here | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | can__: depends on the camera. Ive seen some that have that feature | 10:40 |
| guest2 | oh god.. | 10:40 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: show me the documentation that says these tools are for overclockng - or stop discussing it | 10:41 |
| === karthik is now known as Guest67212 | ||
| codebrainz | cpufreqhelp5, knock yourself out :) http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ | 10:41 |
| can__ | ikonia i know that im not asking you and this is not related to gos thank you | 10:41 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | 0.0 | 10:41 |
| ikonia | can__: it's also offtopic as this channel is for ubuntu support only | 10:41 |
| dugger5688 | http://developer.amd.com/DOCUMENTATION/Pages/default.aspx | 10:41 |
| can__ | simple yes or no thaks | 10:41 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | i'm just looking for help from the peole who support the os i'm using... | 10:42 |
| can__ | im asking you | 10:42 |
| ikonia | can__: stop asking | 10:42 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: and you've been told, more than once it's not for overclocking, so stop asking | 10:42 |
| can__ | does anybody else know ? | 10:42 |
| Spyzer | hi all, using the startup disk creator can i make kubuntu startup disk from "ubuntu" as well ??? | 10:42 |
| ikonia | can__: do not ask again for offtopic support | 10:43 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | so then move on to something that does...your basically telling me i have to buy a motherboard with very limited overclocking options..and build en entirely new pc just to overclock under ubuntu... | 10:43 |
| codebrainz | can__, if it's supported by v4l2 then yes, you can use it for a webcam | 10:43 |
| Nige | oh dear the 10.04 live cd does really not like my system :( | 10:43 |
| cameron_ | It's a bit busy here. Can anyone recommend a channel where I can get support on getting X started? (I can't go online as I can't start X) | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Nige: what's up | 10:43 |
| bazhang | Nige, tried the alternate cd? | 10:43 |
| can__ | thank you thats all i needed to know | 10:44 |
| Nige | bazhang, not yet, I go download it | 10:44 |
| dugger5688 | cpufreqhelp5, RTFM | 10:44 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | that was un called for... | 10:44 |
| oCean_ | dugger5688: don't do that | 10:44 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: that is your only warning - drop it | 10:44 |
| bazhang | cameron_, what about starting up in recovery mode | 10:44 |
| Nige | ikonia, I am gretted by io errors and blank screen when booting off the live cd, which is odd because I can boot into windows 7 fine. This is brand new pc so there shouldnt be an issue | 10:45 |
| bazhang | cameron_, hold shift at boot and choose recovery mode | 10:45 |
| dugger5688 | What kind of errors? | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Nige: io errors suggest it's not burnt correctly | 10:45 |
| theanalyst | any googlecl users here? | 10:45 |
| reiserx | my intrenet service provider has blocked youtube.com. i use google dns . but i can not go just to youtube because it is blocked also by ip number. where i can found ip numbers for youtube.com for my country ? | 10:45 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | sorry if i upset you.. i would just like to be able to do it.. | 10:45 |
| === ian__ is now known as iflema | ||
| Nige | hmm, I can reburn it, i might do a checksum as well | 10:45 |
| cameron_ | bazhang, I'll give it a go thanks. | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Nige, did you md5 the iso and burn very slowly, followed by a disk integrity check? | 10:45 |
| ikonia | cpufreqhelp5: and you've been told "they are not the tools" | 10:45 |
| codebrainz | reiserx, where do you live china? | 10:46 |
| Spyzer | hi all, using the startup disk creator can i make kubuntu startup disk from "ubuntu" as well ??? | 10:46 |
| theanalyst | any googlecl users here? | 10:46 |
| reiserx | codebrainz: turkey. | 10:46 |
| Spyzer | please answer | 10:46 |
| KnightStalker | :o | 10:46 |
| KnightStalker | OMG | 10:46 |
| AhmedBH | Spyzer: Yeah ? | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: yes. | 10:46 |
| codebrainz | reiserx, they actually block the whole youtube.com domain!? | 10:46 |
| Spyzer | thnx | 10:46 |
| bazhang | Spyzer, sure, or unetbootin, which is my preference | 10:46 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | code what?! | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: dont follow questions with 'please answeer.. and help me,.. and so forth...' | 10:46 |
| Nige | I hardly ever do the integrity check, firstime I have had a cd fail :( I have been using it from hardy | 10:46 |
| KnightStalker | reiserx,use IPv6 I say XD,it bypasses the blocks in here(Iran) | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Nige: every now and then one slips in | 10:47 |
| dugger5688 | I've had a few burn badly, sometimes it's a failing drive on the machine I'm booting. It happens :-) | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: Startup Disk creator should work with all the official ubujntu variants. but the server edition I think wont work. or alt-installer. | 10:47 |
| Spyzer | <Dr_Willis>:well when i asked before nobody replied so i had to add up please :) | 10:47 |
| reiserx | codebrainz: i dont know whta you tell me . but i know that we can not go by changing our dns google or opendns because there is a way to clok a site "by blocking ip " way. | 10:47 |
| Nige | yep, anyways I will go away and check those things and then come back, thanks for the advise :) | 10:47 |
| Spyzer | okay | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: i was allready typing the answer when you said please.. :) | 10:47 |
| bazhang | Spyzer, many or most live iso will work with unetbootin | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: you could of jsut tried it also.. :) | 10:47 |
| Spyzer | :) | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Spyzer: for NON-ubuntu variants and other disrtos. unetbootin would be the tool to sue. | 10:48 |
| Spyzer | ok | 10:48 |
| codebrainz | reiserx, bummer. other than what KnightStalker said, you could try something like TOR i guess? | 10:48 |
| KnightStalker | sure | 10:48 |
| KnightStalker | ;p | 10:48 |
| cpufreqhelp5 | soo, some channel suggestions for (un-mentionable) | 10:48 |
| reiserx | codebrainz: i just need the ip of youtube. | 10:48 |
| teknohan | hi I nedd to learn where wine keeps folders ! | 10:48 |
| reiserx | codebrainz: there are many ip s for youtbe. i need them. | 10:48 |
| dugger5688 | You've been told. #hardware, also use a search provider for 'overclock BIOS' | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | teknohan: .wine/XXXXXX | 10:49 |
| reiserx | some people give me some ips fotr youtube but they are going to google.com :( i dont know why . | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | teknohan: it can also use links to your users other directories. | 10:49 |
| reiserx | they said that it is working now.. | 10:49 |
| geirha | teknohan: ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/... | 10:49 |
| reiserx | but not for me. | 10:49 |
| codebrainz | reiserx, 74.125.127.93 | 10:49 |
| teknohan | geirha: thanks alot | 10:50 |
| KnightStalker | yep,that goes to google | 10:50 |
| oCean_ | reiserx: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/traceipaddresses/f/youtube-ip-addr.htm do these work? | 10:50 |
| reiserx | codebrainz: that is not working. can you connect to youtube with 74.125.43.103 ? | 10:50 |
| codebrainz | yeah, same here, i got it from ping youtube.com | 10:50 |
| codebrainz | reiserx, no it goes to google | 10:50 |
| dugger5688 | DNS fail.... | 10:50 |
| theanalyst | any google cl users here? | 10:51 |
| AhmedBH | whats apcalc ? | 10:51 |
| reiserx | oCean_: no they are not working for me. | 10:51 |
| reiserx | i think i have to use turkish forums to do it. you can not help me from other countrys ... | 10:52 |
| reiserx | thank you! | 10:52 |
| KnightStalker | how to setup a proxy server? | 10:52 |
| oCean_ | reiserx: there is also turkish irc: #ubuntu-tr | 10:52 |
| codebrainz | it blows my mind that governments sensor out a whole huge domain like youtube.com | 10:52 |
| reiserx | oCean_: they have blocked me . i have to go to pardus cahannel. | 10:52 |
| dugger5688 | Try VPN maybe. | 10:52 |
| oCean_ | codebrainz: don't start that discussion | 10:53 |
| Spyzer | one more question, will the start up disk creator make a bootable usb without differentiating between 64 bit or 32 bit iso images ???? | 10:53 |
| oCean_ | !crosspost | KnightStalker | 10:54 |
| ubottu | KnightStalker: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | 10:54 |
| dugger5688 | Spyzer: not sure what you're asking. If you use a 32 it'll be a 32 live USB, 64 will be 64. | 10:54 |
| KnightStalker | oCean_ I just remembered that server related questions goes there | 10:54 |
| KnightStalker | someone else told me that some while ago | 10:54 |
| === ian__ is now known as iflema | ||
| Spyzer | no i mean if i make a usb pendrive from a 64 bit iso image on a 32 bit system (having the host ubuntu), will that be fine??? | 10:54 |
| dugger5688 | yes | 10:54 |
| cameron_ | Help Help Help! I can't start my x server! the driver isn't mounting on boot for some reason and when I load it manually I get a purple screen and can't do anything. | 10:55 |
| bazhang | cameron_, what about recovery mode | 10:56 |
| theanalyst | has anybody worked googlecl with a non gmail account? | 10:56 |
| === Guest64050 is now known as DaZ | ||
| erUSUL | theanalyst: well i spect googlecl to *only* work on/with google services | 10:57 |
| cameron_ | bazhang, I couldn;t get into recovery mode. No matter what I hold down at boot it takes me straiht to the login screen (command line). | 10:57 |
| bazhang | cameron_, what version of ubuntu | 10:57 |
| cameron_ | 9.10 | 10:57 |
| cameron_ | bazhang, 9.10 | 10:58 |
| MadRobot | Hi all. It seems I have the following apt authentication issue. I'm really not sure how to fix it: http://pastebin.com/EecBqL49 | 10:58 |
| theanalyst | erUSUL, so can't get it working using a yahoo/open id account? I mean blogger,picassa supports them rite? | 10:58 |
| MadRobot | Any help please? | 10:58 |
| erUSUL | theanalyst: blogger and picassa are google products. yahoo mail is not | 10:59 |
| codebrainz | cameron_, what happens when you run /etc/init.d/gdm start? what about 'startx'? | 10:59 |
| erUSUL | !gpgerr | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <key> && gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add - » | 11:00 |
| cameron_ | codebrainz, the screen flikers a little and that's it. | 11:00 |
| theanalyst | erUSUL, i don't mean yahoomail ,i meant i can use picassa,blogger using my yahoo account, can't however get googlecl working with that | 11:00 |
| codebrainz | cameron_, and it drops back to text-mode? | 11:00 |
| snowyrooftops | Hi! | 11:00 |
| cameron_ | codebrainz, yes | 11:00 |
| codebrainz | cameron_, and it used to work fine? what changed? updates? | 11:01 |
| snowyrooftops | I've got an old laptop that doesn't support booting from USB. Is there anything I could do to boot with one version of Linux and have the distro switch over to USB so I can use the CD drive? | 11:02 |
| snowyrooftops | I know I ought to be installing Linux to the hard drive, but the drive is clunky... read errors and almost on it's last leg | 11:02 |
| ikonia | snowyrooftops: you can use a bootcd to boot a usb | 11:02 |
| snowyrooftops | ikonia: Is there anyway to get the CD out after having Linux running? | 11:03 |
| cameron_ | codebrainz, Oh yes sorry I should have started with that. The bleeding edge compat-wireless package. | 11:03 |
| ikonia | snowyrooftops: depends if you're just booting from it (yes) or running the OS from it (no) | 11:03 |
| snowyrooftops | ikonia: Perhaps something like a chroot to switch over | 11:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | snowyrooftops, probably the simplest answer can' you change the hard disk and does it even support usb booting | 11:03 |
| snowyrooftops | ikonia: I haven't been able to figure out how to boot from a CD but run the OS from USB | 11:03 |
| ikonia | snowyrooftops: you'd need to make a custom boot disk, that saw the usb device as a "disk" | 11:03 |
| snowyrooftops | Pirate_Hunter: It's a pretty old notebook... doesn't support SATA so I can't get parts for it | 11:04 |
| wildbat|GER-GOAL | !plop | snowyrooftops | 11:04 |
| snowyrooftops | Pirate_Hunter: I'm just using it as an experiment | 11:04 |
| snowyrooftops | wildbat|GER-GOAL: What's a plop? | 11:04 |
| snowyrooftops | ikonia: Do you mean install grub on a CD? | 11:04 |
| wildbat|GER-GOAL | errr ~ just google plop ~ it's bootloader can boot USB | 11:04 |
| codebrainz | cameron_, hmm, not sure what to do. i guess you can check the xorg log file and see if anything useful is in there | 11:05 |
| ikonia | snowyrooftops: actually lilo works better on a cd | 11:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | snowyrooftops, no worries, follow ikonia's suggestion I would be interested in finding out how to do that make the system see the usb as a hard drive | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: correct | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: some of the boot cd software can see a usb disk as a hard disk | 11:05 |
| snowyrooftops | I'll look up Plop | 11:05 |
| codebrainz | i think you could also put the kernel and initrd on a cd and have it mount the rootfs from the USB drive once the kernel starts | 11:06 |
| ikonia | codebrainz: that's pretty much it | 11:07 |
| cameron_ | codebrainz, It says there is no driver. which is confirmed by lspci, when I manually load nvidiafb everything goes cactus. | 11:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia, excellent you're a genius been looking for something like this for a few years, wish I had my old machine, oh well better late than never and wildbat|GER-GOAL thanks for that info just browsed their website | 11:07 |
| snowyrooftops | Is there are way I could boot a text-only distro of Linux from CD and then chroot over to the USB drive after mounting it? | 11:07 |
| codebrainz | cameron_, isn't nvidiafb just for the framebuffer? i think it's called nv or nvidia | 11:08 |
| elgh | Does anybody have problems with Wireless Network? In Mint 9 and Ubuntu 10.04, my password doesn't work... =/ | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: to be honest I've never got it %100 to work as I've never had to and only really "played with it", | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: it's certainly do-able though | 11:08 |
| cameron_ | codebrainz, what's the modprobe command that lists all available drivers? | 11:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | snowyrooftops, I think plop might do the trick check it out and tell me how it goes http://www.plop.at/en/home.html | 11:09 |
| snowyrooftops | BTW, Plop uses LILO too | 11:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia, I wasn't even aware it was possible until today (this is one of the reasons I can never forget this place) | 11:10 |
| codebrainz | snowyrooftops, probably easiest to put a bootloader (lilo,syslinux,etc) on the CD with vmlinuz(kernel) and initd.img and configure the root option in the bootloader to point to your usb stick | 11:10 |
| snowyrooftops | I wonder why the Linux community decided to drop floppy-boot support | 11:10 |
| Spyzer | which irc channel is most suitable for asking questions about unetbootin ?? | 11:10 |
| erUSUL | cameron_: modprobe -l ? | 11:10 |
| codebrainz | snowyrooftops, when did they do that? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: it's someting I should do from start to end, I've just never bothered | 11:10 |
| erUSUL | snowyrooftops: becouse floppy disks died ? | 11:10 |
| cameron_ | erUSUL, thanks | 11:10 |
| snowyrooftops | codebrainz: Thanks, will try that... I came across some old distros that boot from floppy | 11:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | snowyrooftops, you can always upgrade to grub once the os is installed and hmmm lilo is not bad I've used it before | 11:10 |
| snowyrooftops | codebrainz: I've read notes on kernel 2.6.x not supporting floppy-boot | 11:11 |
| codebrainz | snowyrooftops, i think it can do it, but it's so bloated now, that it'd take a lot of disks | 11:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | snowyrooftops, if you just want to slap a minimal os than go for puppy/dns tyring ubuntu might be overload on that comp | 11:12 |
| snowyrooftops | erUSUL: Fair enough, but I meant that for old systems | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | snowyrooftops: the kernel wont boot from floppy how it used. int now ( well since 2.6.x) needs a bootloader in floppies too | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Pleasse insert disk # 194 to boot the system | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | snowyrooftops: installing grub in a floppy is easy enough | 11:12 |
| snowyrooftops | Dr_Willis: LOL! I remember installing Windows from floppies :-) | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | snowyrooftops: tiny core linux = 10mb. :) | 11:12 |

| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia, actually that gives me a couple of ideas, I could have a custom install of a linux os on a 16GB pen drive and use plop to load it up on machines that don't support usb booting as it is independent from the BIOS as it states on their site | 11:13 |
| codebrainz | snowyrooftops, you can also whip up a pretty darn small linux with buildroot (my last one was around 12MB) | 11:13 |

| alsayed | I'm printing from XP to Ubuntu printer but it's not working. It was working before. now I can't find it in the share but I can see a shared file | 12:07 |
| abhi_nav | Shapeshifter, you want write iso to usb stick? then use make startup disk | 12:07 |
| Shapeshifter | abhi_nav: well, you know, the archlinux iso can be both burnt to disk or dd'd to a usb drive. That's why I'm asking. | 12:08 |
| abhi_nav | Shapeshifter, i dont knwo about that. | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Shapeshifter: no you cant dd the iso to the usb.. there ARE some disrtos that you can.. | 12:08 |

| Guest61534 | 'm currently using 1024x768, but the resolution 1600x1050 is missing | 12:09 |

| blue_anna | ssam, I reniced the firefox bin and gtk-gnsh .. but its still running loud | 12:46 |

| MaRk-I | blue_anna: cpu frequency scaling monitor | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kielanmatt: and in /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/serial there MIGHT be some modules you need to 'sudo modprobe' Im just guessing here. since i dont have your exact hardware. | 12:46 |
| blue_anna | MaRk-I, what's the command? | 12:46 |
| kielanmatt | oh ok | 12:47 |

| blue_anna | ssam, yea -- I _have_ done that recently, best I can. the thing is, the metal grid will bend whe the pressure is too great, even canned air can do it .. they really should have used a different housing over the cpus | 12:51 |

| erUSUL | hello: grub will be still in the mbr but will fail to do a full boot becouse it needs file in /boot/grub/ | 12:54 |

| Pr0jectRec0n | also, one more query, I find it weird, that I have compiz on to the fullest level, but in this case, I just dont wnt the transparency in gnome-terminal. | 12:54 |
| dankobum | after my last update to 'Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6.32-23-generic' I have sometimes boot hangings | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | Pr0jectRec0n: disable it in gnome-terminal configuration | 12:55 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Can I just disable that somehow, still retaining the 'fullest' compiz setting? | 12:55 |
| hello | i havent thought about the windows loader that will be a good interim one. i will probably replace with debian or a small slackware based distro | 12:55 |
| XLV | rsync by default checksums original and copied files to ensure integrity of copied data? | 12:55 |
| erUSUL | Pr0jectRec0n: Profiles>Profile Preferences>background tab | 12:55 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | erUSUL, worst part is, that's still checked as 'solid color' and not 'transparent' | 12:56 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | erUSUL, :( | 12:56 |
| hello | i have nothing against ubuntu i just want something small to play with. i use windows 99% of the time coz it works for me | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | XLV: by default it does not. it relays on timestamps and size changes to figure out what to copy | 12:56 |
| razorr | if u think that windows suit you then go with them | 12:56 |
| turtle_ | anyone help me with display problems? | 12:57 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | erUSUL, you were right, I can manually modify it | 12:57 |
| erUSUL | Pr0jectRec0n: then maybe you added transparency to terminal windows in compiz settings disable only that | 12:57 |

| XLV | erUSUL, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync#Algorithm here it seems that the copying algorith does just that... | 12:57 |
| MaRk-I | repair* | 12:57 |
| erUSUL | XLV: man rsync « Rsync finds files that need to be transferred using a "quick check" algorithm (by default) that looks for files that have changed in size or in last-modified time. | 12:58 |

| AceKing | I have a questions.. How do I setup a program to start without having to put in a password every time? | 13:01 |
| XLV | erUSUL, i dont mean the checksum of data to see whats different to be copied, i mean checksum to ensure whats copied is same between sender/receipient | 13:01 |
| ikonia | AceKing: which program | 13:01 |
| AceKing | IPblock | 13:01 |
| ikonia | AceKing: how are you launching t | 13:01 |
| ikonia | it | 13:01 |
| XLV | erUSUL, i know about the -c option, what i ask is different | 13:01 |
| erUSUL | XLV: i do not think rsync can be used for that | 13:02 |
| erUSUL | XLV: anyway; better help probably in #rsync | 13:02 |
| AceKing | ikonia, I go into applications/ Internet and click on the launcher | 13:02 |
| ikonia | AceKing: the chances are it's being launched with root privileges using "sudo" from the menu, you need to adjust your sudo rules to allow it to be launched without a password | 13:03 |
| AceKing | ikonia, how do I do that? | 13:03 |

| ikonia | AceKing: the reason I'm asking as messing with sudo rules if your not confident with them is dangerous | 13:04 |
| AceKing | ikonia, not really, I guess it is more annoying than anything | 13:04 |
| ikonia | AceKing: so before we start, just think about the issues this may cause if you're not %100 certain about modifying the rules | 13:04 |

| Guest29787 | hi .. I have a problem while executing a python script it works fine .. but when I put it in a crontab it shows a module(python mysql connector) is not able to load | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sudipta: flip a coin.. or weigh your needs and decide. | 13:07 |
| MaRk-I | AceKing: I think ipblock is already running, that menu is to change options/update lists | 13:07 |
| ikonia | AceKing: do "sudo visudo" | 13:07 |
| AceKing | ikonia, ok | 13:07 |
| Blo | I installed ubuntu 10 but there is a lot of updates for it so I wants to download a lot of files from internet. it is too bad | 13:08 |
| ikonia | AceKing: scoll down to where it says "admin" | 13:08 |
| lowshadow360 | hi | 13:08 |
| ikonia | AceKing: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 13:08 |

| AceKing | ikonia, just out of curiosity, does that make me vulnerable at all? | 13:09 |

| Guest29787 | Hi .. is there a diffence between executing a python command normally vs as a cron tab ?? | 13:10 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: only the local users shell environment | 13:10 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: I am sorry I did not get you .. | 13:11 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: there is no difference other than the users shell evnironment, eg: Guest29787 your user has a shell enviornment, and the controb user has a shell enviornment | 13:12 |
| AceKing | ikonia, I did that and pressed enter but it didn't do anything | 13:12 |
| ikonia | AceKing: pressed enter ??? | 13:12 |
| sudipta | Dr_Willis: yesterday soomeone told me to stick with 9.10 | 13:12 |
| ikonia | AceKing: your modifuing a file | 13:12 |
| ikonia | AceKing: that's not a command, your modifying a file | 13:12 |
| AceKing | ikonia, ok, now I see, I thought I had to press enter to save | 13:13 |
| ikonia | AceKing: no no, you save using your editor (I don't know what you're using) | 13:13 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: Sorry .. still didnt understand fully .. did you mean that shell environment when I type the command is diffent from shell environment when executed as cron ?? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: correct | 13:13 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: that is the only difference | 13:13 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: Any help in how do I find the difference ..please ? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: are you having a problem ? | 13:14 |
| AceKing | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/458742/ | 13:15 |
| ikonia | AceKing: looks good | 13:15 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: ops sorry I didnt mention the problem... When i type a python command it works fine.. but when as a cron job a python module(python mysql connecting module) doesnt get loaded .. | 13:16 |
| AceKing | ikonia, now I can just exit out of the terminal without doing anything else? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | AceKing: look at the bottom ctrl+X | 13:16 |
| AceKing | ikonia, that worked. Thank you!! | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: what user's crontab are you using | 13:17 |
| ikonia | AceKing: no problem | 13:17 |
| ikonia | AceKing: just be careful as it won't prompt you for a password for any root commands | 13:18 |
| Guest29787 | both as the same user .. | 13:18 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: then there should be no difference | 13:18 |
| AceKing | ikonia, ok | 13:18 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: okay .. I ll see if I did any mistake .. | 13:18 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: Thanks for your help | 13:18 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: if your using cron, make sure all your paths are absoloute | 13:19 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: that's a common issue, eg: instead of python, /usr/bin/python etc | 13:19 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: oh .. okay .. | 13:20 |

| Pirate_Hunter | MaMoUs, I didn't give you not .deb package or link you got it confused, if you want the source of thunderbird you must uzip and compile which is a long procedure at first but worth the experience | 14:09 |

| Guest29787 | hi .. I have setup rsync and its listening on port 873 .. While trying to rsync its asking for password .. rsync@192.168.6.34's password: (192.168.6.34 is where rsync daemon is running)... I gave my ssh password its not working ... what password should I give ?? | 14:15 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: the ssh passwort from the server not your local machine | 14:15 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: maybe /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/daemon.log is giving usefull info | 14:16 |
| LeeQ | anyone know anything about mirroring a server? what directories should I rsync? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: what do you mean by "mirroring" | 14:19 |
| Guest29787 | iceroot: I am giving the password of the server .. I do ssh 192.168.6.34 .. the password works fine .. But rsync doesnt .. Can you please have a look at this and advice if I am doing anything wrong .. http://pastebin.com/syKKyFh5 | 14:19 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: rsync is not normally an interfactive user | 14:20 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: you've got the password for root - not rsync | 14:20 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: I have a very simple web server box, I want to have another identical box pull from it every night just in case the first one dies for whatever reason I can just plug the backup in and be running again | 14:20 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: ok - so first of all you won't be able to do an exact clone, as to be on the network at the same time they will need different IP addresses | 14:20 |
| MadRobot | Pirate_Hunter, unfortunately the solution soreau gave didn't work. | 14:20 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: all you really need to do is install the same packages on the new server and sync the web content | 14:21 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: you mean there is a user named rsync ? | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: you are syncing as a user called rsync | 14:21 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: there is no user named rsync normally | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: rsync -avz -e ssh rsync@192.168.6.34 | 14:21 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: iceroot: Should I create another user ? | 14:21 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: no | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: is this an ubuntu box? | 14:21 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: look your using rsync | 14:21 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: how about config files? like apache configs and postfix and stuff? are they safe to sync? | 14:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MadRobot, huh....? sorry no clue what is the solution so could you explain again what your problem is and maybe this should've been redirected at soreau | 14:22 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: No its centos .. | 14:22 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: then why are you asking in #ubuntu - use #centos | 14:22 |
| Ego_Proctor | !audio | 14:22 |

| iceroot | Guest29787: ssh usernameontheserver@192.168.6.34 | 14:22 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: the configs won't be the same due to different IP's | 14:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MadRobot, solution that was given* | 14:22 |
| Guest29787 | iceroot: okay .. thanks .. | 14:22 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: take the time to install the same packages, then copy (not sync) the configs over, changing the host names and IP's | 14:22 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: you are trying to conncect with the user rsync which doesn not exist | 14:23 |
| reedsw | will upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 erase the ndiswrapper and driver work I put into getting this dell wireless capable? | 14:23 |
| MadRobot | Pirate_Hunter, he gave me this command: "KEY=40976EAF437D05B5; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $KEY && gpg --export --armor $KEY | sudo apt-key add -" | 14:23 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: ok, thanks again... you are my hero today :-D | 14:23 |
| oCean_ | LeeQ: also, if you need to "sync" your mysql databases, you should be very careful just copying the files over. | 14:23 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: no problem | 14:23 |
| iceroot | reedsw: maybe 10.04 is supporting your card without ndsiwrapper | 14:23 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: keep in mind for system files/configs never rsync | 14:23 |
| Guest29787 | iceroot: I understood one that that I am a fool .. Sorry to bother you .. I copied the command pasted as it was .. sorry .. | 14:23 |
| MadRobot | Pirate_Hunter, it worked flawlessly but didn't solve my Apt issue. | 14:23 |
| MaRk-I | MadRobot: you have to do that command for all the keys missing | 14:23 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: for mysql as oCean_ use replication rather than sync | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | reedsw: probably you will have to redo the ndiswerapper support. or maybe the wifi will work out of the box with the new kernel. | 14:24 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: np but it is always a good idea to understand a command instead of copy and paste | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | reedsw: what wifi chip is this? | 14:24 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: where should I look for more info on doing that? or is it easy for you to just tell me? | 14:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | MadRobot, find the source that is giving you that error and download the correct key from their site | 14:24 |
| reedsw | iceroot, I really doubt that. Pulling this monster for this card was a chore | 14:24 |
| MadRobot | MaRk-I, one by one? | 14:24 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: what do you want to know ? | 14:24 |
| MaRk-I | MadRobot: yes | 14:24 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: we are here to help | 14:24 |
| iceroot | reedsw: maybe start the system with a 10.04live-cd to see what is working and what not | 14:25 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: exactly what steps I should take to replicate the mysql db | 14:25 |
| Guest29787 | iceroot: Yes you are correct .. Just another info needed if you can provide would help me .. Is it must that there should be a rsync daemon running ? if its not must any advantage of having a daemon.. | 14:25 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: ahh ok, so that's a big topic, 1.) be aware that mysql is the correct channel to talk 2.) it's a big topic so check the high level info on www.mysql.com | 14:25 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: stop asking please | 14:25 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: this is ubuntu support, use #centos for centos support | 14:25 |
| reedsw | its a Broadcom, if memory serves | 14:26 |
| LeeQ | ikonia: excellent, I can't thank you enough :-) | 14:26 |
| ikonia | LeeQ: if you have specific questions, or something not working we can help, but it's a big topic to just start "talking about" | 14:26 |
| reedsw | and it was pain to get ndiswrapper to pull it | 14:26 |
| iceroot | Guest29787: running a rsync-daemon is good so you can compress the data | 14:26 |
| reedsw | iceroot, thats a good idea | 14:26 |
| erUSUL | reedsw: usually it is enough to do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » while connected via wired to make broadcoms work | 14:26 |
| Guest29787 | ikonia: Sorry .. the question was regarding rsync .. Still I shouldnt ? .. | 14:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia, don't they need something like a clustered server or apache heartbeat for that instead of rsync? Just wondering... | 14:26 |
| ikonia | Guest29787: no - you shouldn't | 14:26 |
| abuayyoub | hello, can someone help me with a problem i am having with a program called HellaNZB? | 14:27 |

| SailorReality | ikonia: i can make it a gig | 15:27 |

| ikonia | SailorReality: how much ram do you have | 15:27 |
| SailorReality | 512 mb | 15:27 |
| scunizi | SailorReality: why a separate /boot? the drive looks so small it really isn't necessary | 15:27 |
| ikonia | SailorReality: ok, so it should be least as big as your ram, 2 x your ram if you want to use hibernate | 15:27 |
| SailorReality | ok | 15:28 |
| scunizi | SailorReality: how much space do you have on the drive for ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| phibxr | ikonia, should you always make a /boot partition if you want to use hibernate? | 15:28 |
| notmorewindows | ikonia the sound is much worse in luvbuntu than ubuntu , lubuntu has much limitations need install it more s0oftware | 15:28 |

| ikonia | there are many components, kernel modules, alsa, pulse, what part | 15:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !sound | notmorewindows | 15:31 |
| ubottu | notmorewindows: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 15:31 |
| ikonia | actually never mind, I'm off, this is getting silly | 15:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | notmorewindows, just check if pulse or alsautils detects your soundcard and it is configured properly | 15:31 |
| notmorewindows | ikonia the software name for the drivers of sound | 15:31 |
| ikonia | they are the SAME | 15:32 |

| abuayyoub | Hi, can somoene Please help me with a problem I am having with a program called HellaNZB | 15:34 |
| * scunizi runs for the defibulator for Pirate_Hunter | 15:34 | |
| Pirate_Hunter | abuayyoub, no one will help unless they know what is your problem with the program | 15:35 |
| perlsyntax | Mark-I,I know i can do this in grub after i install it goes to a black sceen to odd. | 15:35 |
| perlsyntax | i915.modeset=1 | 15:35 |
| perlsyntax | that work i know of. | 15:35 |
| MaRk-I | if it is an intel video card yes | 15:36 |
| vaul | BluesKaj: You know, after considering all options I think I'll stick to the GnuCash. | 15:36 |
| abuayyoub | Pirate_Hunter, thank you, i thought I would see if anyone here even knew the program before I started writing my question. Anyhow, the question is I just setup hellanzb and it is not taking the nzbs from my queue folder. it worked the first time then it wont work again | 15:36 |
| perlsyntax | Mark-I, i not sure why boot up after install with a black sceen? maybe i should wait for 10.10. | 15:36 |
| MaRk-I | perlsyntax: hmm I had the same problem and fixed it, but if you want to wait... | 15:37 |
| perlsyntax | i useing 9.10 now. | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | ok vaul , good luck :) | 15:38 |
| perlsyntax | Mark-I,i got my build in modm to work on my ibm R50e | 15:38 |
| abuayyoub | Pirate_Hunter, thinking i might have made a mistake in the hellanzb.conf file I redid it and changed all the dir's. again, i dropped a nzb into the folder and it caught it downloaded, par2'ed, rar'ed and everything worked perfect. dropped a new nzb in and nothing, just says hellanzb - Now monitoring queue... | 15:39 |
| elpidio | hi everybody!! I own a webcam that is able to record in HD, can you please suggest me a software capable to capture in high definition please? | 15:39 |
| MaRk-I | perlsyntax: ic, i havent used a built-in modem in ages. | 15:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | abuayyoub, well your assumption is wrong I have no clue about that program but I do know you have to compile it yet I am sure this aint your first time asking about the same app also I assume your compiling or are you using the one from the repos | 15:39 |
| vaul | BluesKaj: Why? It's not that complicated, it just contains a whole lot of accounting fearures I won't use. | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | vaul, I was being critical , I mean it. | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | wasn't | 15:41 |
| abuayyoub | Pirate_Hunter, this is why I asked if somoene could help me with this specific program before I went into a long description about what the problem is. | 15:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | abuayyoub, did you backup before editing? If not can you change it to the way it was and check if it works that way? You can check the logs if it has any | 15:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | abuayyoub, it is better to explain the problem than ask if they know about hellanzb now you have more chances of getting help | 15:41 |
| vaul | BluesKaj: When you want an application to be present in official repositories, to update on regular basis, have a good GTK interface, it isn't that much choice. Critical? It's was some unnoticable criricism. | 15:42 |
| abuayyoub | i been asking for days, apparently im the only one left on on IRC that uses Usenet | 15:42 |
| notmorewindows | pirate hunter vey well now i have installed gnome alsa mixer, and my problem this solved, thank you | 15:42 |
| vaul | abuayyoub: You won't believe me, but even IRC itself is considered obsolete sometimes. | 15:43 |

| Pirate_Hunter | abuayyoub, have you tried sabnzbd as the site suggests and like I said I really don't know much about it best bet is the logs and trying to redo your old setup | 15:45 |

| clusty | arghh. what package do i need to be able to mount cifs ? | 16:07 |
| Lalitha | soreau, well , he setup grub within his wubi. But it showed "Found xp" | 16:07 |
| soreau | SailorReality: you did it wrong | 16:07 |
| SailorReality | I wrote the partition table on free space of /dev/hda but it named /dev/hda1 as one of the partitions and thats the same name it gave windows b4 i clicked ... | 16:07 |
| Lalitha | soreau, now, installing grub again will work ? | 16:07 |
| soreau | Lalitha: If its a wubi install, not sure. You might want to just grab a live cd and fix it | 16:07 |
| Lalitha | soreau, he has got a live cd of ubuntu 10 | 16:08 |
| Lalitha | soreau, cab grub fix the wubi ? atleast , is it possible to get back to windows xp ? | 16:08 |
| kickingintender | hi lalitha | 16:08 |
| Lalitha | kickingintender, Hi | 16:09 |
| SailorReality | soreau:do you know what i did wrong? | 16:09 |
| soreau | Lalitha: I would just install ubuntu to the hard disk, which should fix grub to boot either OS, then go into windoze and just remove the wubi install | 16:09 |
| soreau | SailorReality: If you wanted to just use the remainder of the disk, there is an option for that which will keep your other os partition and configure the bootloader for it. No need to manually partition unless you have an advanced setup | 16:10 |

| soreau | like coz_ said, compiz grid plugin can do this | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure what 'maximize windows to regions' actually means. | 18:01 |
| oal | Dr_Willis, if you move the window to one corner, and maximize, it will be resized to fit in that corner, within a given region | 18:01 |
| oal | And you can set these regions up yourself | 18:02 |
| thune3 | rockelme: pm me if you need a low level walkthrough of steps to take | 18:02 |
| soreau | oal: Aside from using a tiling wm, compiz grid is about the closest you will come to this effect | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | oal: kde has that to some degree. :) 1/2 size if the screen ive seen | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | but not seen a 1/4 screen | 18:03 |
| oal | Dr_Willis, yes, but self controlled regions would be the ideal thing :) | 18:04 |
| soreau | grid does 1/4 screen in three different sizes, 5 in the 0.9 version | 18:04 |
| * Dr_Willis tends to just fullscreen everything | 18:04 | |
| oal | soreau, hmm, maybe I have to try compiz again | 18:04 |
| Patero-ng | fullscren video I always did that on highschool | 18:04 |
| oal | Dr_Willis, I have too many windows and maximizing everything confuses me | 18:04 |
| Motilon | hello evr1. I'm having all kind of troubles with a new install of 10.04. First of all it took for ever to reboot and now, once i open any window, i can work within that window but thats about it: i cant manipulate the window and the system menu will not respond. If Ihe 1st window I open is the update manager I get an error message stating it cannot capture the mouse and the syetm freezes.... | 18:05 |
| Motilon | ...Please help! TIA | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | oal: sounds like you need to get organized. :) | 18:05 |
| Patero-ng | but most americans just see it in window I think they feel it would be irrespecful to fulllscren it as they probably think is egoistic | 18:05 |
| * atmos4 just finished watching germany vs. argentinia - what a game :-) | 18:05 | |

| Motilon | soreau: i cannot stop compiz as its not installed. yes its straight ubuntu 10.04 | 18:34 |
| invinciblemutant | mankash, therefore you need to get ready your windows driver | 18:34 |

| abhi_nav | Krishnandu, you go to their page and follow what they say. Have you dont that and failed? no? then? how can you come back as it is? first give a try naa? if faild then we wll see naa? | 18:47 |
| jeffm28 | JOIN | 18:47 |
| adam_ | Virigoth: im using linux mint doing that method is different to ubuntu | 18:47 |
| Krishnandu | abhi_nav, ya I'm saying the same thing.....I did it | 18:47 |
| dominicdinada | Why are .sh files opening up with gedit grrrr | 18:48 |
| Krishnandu | abhi_nav, and it says vlc is already installed | 18:48 |
| Virigoth | oh fail :( | 18:48 |
| Krishnandu | abhi_nav, not updating it | 18:48 |
| abhi_nav | Krishnandu, you did installed vlc as per their web site says? ok so you may want to first uninstall vlc manual and then again follow their site | 18:48 |
| kevin_ | dominicdinada, right click them and give them execute. | 18:48 |
| MTughan | I'm trying to chainload GRUB legacy from GRUB 2 with Ubuntu 10.04. The chainload seems to be kicking off legacy fine, but it's not finding its configuration file. The distro channel for legacy said I was chainloading wrong. How should it be done? | 18:48 |
| Motilon | soreau: sry to bother you again ... where and how do i run the disk check utility? | 18:48 |
| Virigoth | If you reinstall Grub2, it should detect the new Win7 install, and make you primary drive | 18:48 |
| Krishnandu | abhi_nav, ok what if I wait for some days?? Will I get the update from update manager?? | 18:48 |
| soreau | Motilon: You mean fsck? | 18:48 |
| Virigoth | the bootloader(mint) | 18:48 |
| vitium | In order to install Ati's driver I need XFree86-Mesa-libGL, it's not in the repos - how can I install it? | 18:48 |
| soreau | ! fsck | Motilon | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Motilon: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:48 |
| abhi_nav | Krishnandu, cant say. depend upon ubuntu admins. | 18:49 |
| === abha is now known as unixlike | ||
| gnomefreak | ross_: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and just add the lines there or use software sources from the system -> prefferences menu | 18:49 |
| Krishnandu | abhi_nav, okies :) | 18:49 |
| Guest213 | ubottu: hi | 18:49 |
| 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! | 18:49 |
| dominicdinada | kevin_: execute is not an option. What program do they runwith ? | 18:49 |
| abhi_nav | hmm | 18:49 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I"m trying to fix the opacity for my windows... I've tried both emerald and compiz stuff in the forums | 18:49 |
| lousygarua | dominicdinada, execute permission on the properties dialog | 18:49 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | however.... theere's no 'opacity' setting under general settings | 18:49 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I'm so stuck | 18:49 |
| khyqo | anyone who knows how to solvemy problem? | 18:49 |
| soreau | Pr3nt1c3: Whats wrong with the opacity? | 18:49 |
| kevin_ | dominicdinada right click go to properties then go to permissions | 18:49 |
| ross_ | gnomefreak: i can add the lines anywhere? | 18:49 |
| soreau | Pr3nt1c3: Use ccsm>Opacity, Brightness and Saturation, or Alt+Scroll | 18:50 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | umm.... I can barely read what's going on in the chat... 50% opacity / transparency | 18:50 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | tried that | 18:50 |
| Motilon | soreau, ubottu: Thanks! | 18:50 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: ok just add them using software sources menu entry | 18:50 |
| dominicdinada | kevin_: lousygarua correct | 18:50 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | all I get is nothing, or scrolling in window | 18:50 |
| ross_ | ok | 18:50 |
| soreau | Pr3nt1c3: Does it help if you disable desktop effects? | 18:50 |
| abhi_nav | Pr3nt1c3, only for terminal windows or for all window? | 18:50 |
| bazhang | ross_, if you use gedit, be sure to prepend with gksudo (for graphical apps) | 18:50 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | didn't think of diabling desktop effects | 18:51 |
| * Pr3nt1c3 headdesks | 18:51 | |
| * Pr3nt1c3 eats the damned 'any' key | 18:51 | |
| abhi_nav | Pr3nt1c3, yah give try to disabling | 18:51 |
| ross_ | bazhang i don't understand : ( | 18:51 |
| kevin_ | dominicdinada :) never seen his post :) enjoy :) | 18:51 |
| lunavorax | Hello everyone ! | 18:51 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: use the menu entry | 18:51 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all | 18:51 |
| jeffm28 | QUIT | 18:51 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | hmm... still pretty transparent... but better | 18:51 |
| bazhang | ross_, software sources is the easiest method | 18:51 |
| jeffm28 | LIST | 18:52 |
| gnomefreak | !sources > ross_ | 18:52 |
| ubottu | ross_, please see my private message | 18:52 |
| ross_ | i can't find it | 18:52 |
| ross_ | in the repository | 18:52 |
| bazhang | ross_, if you ever need to edit a configuration file with a graphical app like gedit though, you would use gksudo instead of sudo | 18:52 |
| ross_ | because it needs to be added to the ppa | 18:52 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | much better | 18:52 |
| ^Jay2^ | ah | 18:52 |
| ^Jay2^ | what is !sources | 18:52 |
| ross_ | let me show you what i mean | 18:52 |
| ^Jay2^ | !sources | 18:52 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 18:52 |
| ross_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LookingGlass | 18:53 |
| ^Jay2^ | ohhh cool! | 18:53 |
| lunavorax | I can't mount my HFS+ drive, do I have a package missing ? | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: go to System>preferences>software sources and add them from that dialog | 18:53 |
| ross_ | look at the end of that page | 18:53 |
| bazhang | ross_, from a PPA? | 18:53 |
| skhater | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 18:53 |
| ross_ | that's what i'm trying to add | 18:53 |
| bazhang | ross_, there is a add-apt-repostitory command for PPA's | 18:53 |
| ross_ | gnomefreak i don't have software sources | 18:53 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | and now all my 'expected' shortcuts / habits need re-setting | 18:53 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | it'll do | 18:53 |
| ross_ | check out the link that i sent you please | 18:53 |
| ross_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LookingGlass | 18:53 |
| ross_ | that's what i'm trying to set up | 18:54 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: than use synaptic to add them | 18:54 |
| === booboo is now known as coz_ | ||
| ross_ | it's not in the synaptic | 18:54 |
| ross_ | that's what i'm trying to tell you | 18:54 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: open synaptic and in the menu you will see reprositories IIRC | 18:54 |
| ^Jay2^ | where can i find more repositories for ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| khyqo | guys.... i am having a bit of problem regarding with user privileges when creating a website.. i can't alter my files.. i am using netbeans 6.9 as ide.. it says source not writable when loading my project folder.. | 18:55 |
| gnomefreak | ^Jay2^: depends on what you want | 18:55 |
| ^Jay2^ | gnomefreak: games and pentesting | 18:56 |
| gnomefreak | ^Jay2^: you wont most likely and as for pretesting i dont know what you mean | 18:56 |
| ross_ | gnomefreak the lg3d package that i'm looking for is not in there | 18:56 |
| ross_ | did you look at the link that i sent you? | 18:56 |
| ross_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LookingGlass | 18:56 |
| ^Jay2^ | gnomefreak: penetration testing | 18:56 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: you need to use what i told you to add the PPA not look for the package | 18:57 |
| gnomefreak | ^Jay2^: you are very unlikely to find one | 18:57 |
| ^Jay2^ | gnomefreak: i see | 18:57 |
| skhater | can any one help me | 18:57 |
| ross_ | i don't have the software sources link from the preferences menu | 18:57 |
| skhater | gdm freeze | 18:57 |
| ross_ | ....... | 18:57 |
| lousygarua | !ask | skhater | 18:57 |
| ubottu | skhater: 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. :-) | 18:57 |
| Motilon | soreau: Issued the "sudo shutdown -F -r now", system started as usual and I'm geting same beaviour . Should I just reinstall so we can stay friends? | 18:58 |
| skhater | ok | 18:58 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 18:58 |
| soreau | Motilon: Yes. Do the cd check first though, by pressing esc right after the cd boots | 18:58 |
| alaska13 | Anyone know how to get sound working in lucid on a macbook pro (5,5). I have already gone through the community documentation, still no luck! | 18:58 |

| ross_ | there is no software sources under preferences | 18:59 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: you may need to edit the menu to add it but it is there if you are using gnome | 18:59 |
| dugger5688 | It's under admin. | 18:59 |
| Motilon | soreau: will try | 18:59 |

| lousygarua | stefanos, sounds like you removed the window list from your panel | 19:00 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: you did - stop it | 19:00 |
| azeryu | when we do uname -r ? | 19:00 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: open it and add it under one of the tabs. I dont have access to my gnome install atm | 19:00 |
| lousygarua | stefanos, right click on the panel, select `add to panel` and search for ' window list' | 19:00 |
| azeryu | in which case to check what ? uname -r | 19:01 |
| lousygarua | stefanos, or mayeb you resized the window list to a small width so you can't see it | 19:01 |
| bliffle | I'm looking for a vuze or azureus support channel. | 19:01 |
| stefanos | lousygarua: problem solved | 19:01 |
| stefanos | thank u! | 19:01 |
| ross_ | gnomefreak what menu entry i don't see it | 19:01 |
| MTughan | I'm trying to chainload GRUB legacy from GRUB 2 with Ubuntu 10.04. The chainload seems to be kicking off legacy fine, but it's not finding its configuration file. The distro channel for legacy said I was chainloading wrong. How should it be done? | 19:02 |
| ross_ | let me check again | 19:02 |
| nmvictor | ikonia: bazhang okidoki, sorry! was just venting it out on my previous ISP, i unlocked my modem so I can use alternative sim cards and now i wonder why I lived without it, sorry any way | 19:02 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: open software sources lease | 19:02 |
| gnomefreak | please | 19:02 |
| ross_ | i did | 19:02 |
| ikonia | nmvictor: no problem | 19:02 |
| bazhang | nmvictor, thanks | 19:02 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: i think it is the 2nd tab that should say repositoies or something likel that | 19:02 |
| nmvictor | anyone here using emacs? | 19:02 |
| Virigoth | should use vim ^_^ | 19:02 |
| lousygarua | haha | 19:02 |
| Virigoth | I have a basic grasp of emacs, whats your question? | 19:02 |
| ross_ | ok | 19:03 |
| hinsky | hello | 19:03 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: do you see an add button? | 19:03 |
| ross_ | then add deb http://javadesktop.org/lg3d/debian stable contrib | 19:03 |

| gnomefreak | ross_: yes where it tells you to | 19:03 |
| ross_ | ok then what | 19:03 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: save? | 19:03 |
| hinsky | i got a problem. i need to setup ubuntu for netboot to run another computer with a broken cd drive from it, but i cant find any tutorials on how to do that | 19:03 |
| Virigoth | You have network access for that netbook? | 19:04 |
| Virigoth | You could do a network install | 19:04 |
| dugger5688 | I'm also interested in that :-) provide a link with a guide if possible. | 19:04 |
| hinsky | yes both pcs got a network card. i need to safe my data from the other hdd | 19:04 |
| gnomefreak | ross_: are you sure you want to use that archive. im guess if it breaks your system you are going to have a hard time fixing it | 19:04 |
| azeryu | hello | 19:04 |
| azeryu | in which case we do uname -r ? | 19:05 |
| hinsky | im running ubuntu in a VM ^^ | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | azeryu: kernel version | 19:05 |
| azeryu | good | 19:05 |
| azeryu | i normaly got ubuntu 10.04 | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | type it in terminal than hit enter | 19:05 |
| rabbit1 | i need to play a file from web, i use firefox, but i says, it need ie to play the video, how can i solve this? | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | azeryu: 10.04 is not the kernel version it is the Ubuntu version | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | ' | 19:05 |
| azeryu | when i do uname -r i got 2.6.27-gandi-2777 | 19:05 |
| azeryu | is that normal ? | 19:05 |
| gnomefreak | azeryu: should look like this, ypour version will not be the same gnomefreak@development:~$ uname -r | 19:06 |
| bazhang | azeryu, for 10.04 ? no | 19:06 |
| gnomefreak | 2.6.35-6-generic | 19:06 |
| Virigoth | hinsky: This has a bunch of different ways to install | 19:06 |
| azeryu | how to change to that version ? | 19:07 |
| dugger5688 | rabbit1: you could try the user agent switcher, it's a firefox plugin that can spoof it as IE | 19:07 |
| gnomefreak | don quote me but that is a hardy kernel | 19:07 |
| bazhang | 2.6.32.23.24 is the most up to date for 10.04 azeryu | 19:07 |
| abhi_nav | hi rabbit1 | 19:07 |

| azeryu | but me got this one 2.6.27-gandi-2777 | 19:07 |
| gnomefreak | azeryu: that is not a kernel we provide | 19:07 |
| azeryu | so i need to change my kernel version | 19:07 |
| rabbit1 | Abhinav: hi | 19:08 |
| hinsky | thanks | 19:08 |
| azeryu | to put the correct kernel version | 19:08 |
| azeryu | how to do ? | 19:08 |
| gnomefreak | -gandi-2777 sounds like a unofficial build of a kernel | 19:08 |
| bazhang | azeryu, did you install that yourself? | 19:08 |
| rabbit1 | dugger5688: or else, i need to WMP on 8.04 hardy | 19:08 |

| ender_ | I get a continous Loop of "Starting File Manager" can someone help me | 19:13 |
| gnomefreak | azeryu: boot to a normal kernel than remove the 2777 kernel using synaptic | 19:13 |

| Motilon | soreau: I'm not geting any errors with cd check but when I start the install cd i get an error "Installation failed. The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so you might investigate the problem or try installing again." I got this same msg when I installed and, not knowing how to check for errors I went straight to installing when desktop session... | 19:15 |
| Motilon | ...started. Also, I've had to download the iso many times in the las 2 days, have tried burning it with different software on 3 different PCs and I'm always geting one error or another. This one seemed to me the least harmfull and it did indeed install. I did have problems when trying my 1st reboot though :( | 19:15 |
| bazhang | ender_, can you get to a terminal? | 19:15 |
| ender_ | yes | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: try making a bootable flash drive to install from? | 19:15 |
| bazhang | ender_, check what is eating the processes with the command top in the terminal | 19:16 |
| ender_ | what am i looking for exactly? | 19:18 |
| Virigoth | !pm > Virigoth | 19:18 |
| ubottu | Virigoth, please see my private message | 19:18 |
| Motilon | soreau, Dr_Willis: thats not all. I first installed 9.10 and upgraded to 10.04, geting all kinds of errors, so many I even lost wy winxp install. I came here and was adviced to install 10.04 from begining. | 19:18 |
| bazhang | ender_, something that is using a lot of memory? | 19:18 |
| dugger5688 | That's strange for an upgrade to even touch an XP install. | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: Hmm. with all the probpems.. it could be some hardware issue going on. | 19:19 |
| TuxthePenguin | Maybe GRUB2 just doesn't see the XP install | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: this is on a laptop or desktop? | 19:19 |
| ender_ | let me recreate the problem then | 19:19 |
| Motilon | dr_willis: desktop | 19:19 |
| ender_ | brb | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: so basically theres no OS thats not crashing or causing issues on it right now? xp is flakey? linux is flakey? installing an OS is flakey... | 19:20 |
| Motilon | dr_willis: no, i installed xp already | 19:21 |
| coz_ | Motilon, you could check the md5sum on the ISo before burning it to be sure it is ok | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: so Xp is now seeming to 'work' properly? Dosent crash any more then xp normally does? | 19:21 |
| coz_ | !hashes | 19:21 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 19:21 |
| ender_ | top | 19:22 |
| ender_ | nothing seems to b eatting up mem or cpu | 19:23 |
| Motilon | dr_willis: i havnt done a lot on xp this time, barely installed some ER apps but it seems to be doing ok | 19:23 |
| kielanmatt | hey all | 19:23 |
| kielanmatt | I have installed lucid | 19:23 |
| ender_ | its just going crazy and not slowing the machine down at all | 19:23 |
| kielanmatt | and tried getting irda working but it only kinda works on older kernel found in 8.04 | 19:23 |
| Cain | Hi, On a dual boot machin i set up Win7 & Ubuntu Lucid, i have several ntfs partitions (since the machine was only a windows machine), ntfs is fine for those partitions to be read/written with both win7 & ubuntu without conflict ? | 19:23 |
| kielanmatt | and I'm trying to use that kernel without reinstall | 19:23 |
| Cain | s/machin/machine | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: it proberly wouldent hurt to open up the case and give it a good dusting, and check all cables. - to test linux on it. You may want to do an install to a flash drive. and run that for a few days and see if it acts up. | 19:23 |
| kielanmatt | i installed the 2.6.24 kernel | 19:24 |
| kielanmatt | but when I try to boot it | 19:24 |
| kielanmatt | it doesnt | 19:24 |
| Virigoth | Cain: 10.04 reads my NTFS fine | 19:24 |
| dugger5688 | Does anyone have a tip on booting a live USB if the computer in question doesn't have BIOS support? | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Motilon: You might also want to track down a 2nd hard drive to install linux to and keep the XP hd unplugged. :) Of course running memtest for a few hrs may show something wrong also. it cant hurt. | 19:24 |
| wombatman | I have a rockbox-ed sansa fuze v1 that doesn't seem to show up at all when plugged in after boot. It will work if i restart the computer with it plugged in. Found a "fix" on a forum where you can put a usb thumb drive in first and then connect the fuze and that will work but I need to find a better solution if anyone knows why this weird behavior occurs. I do know that simply typing lsusb... | 19:24 |
| wombatman | ...will not mount the drive though the drive does show up there and is ofcourse in msc mode as that's what I'd prefer | 19:24 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | stil amazes me that this channel is almost a 'help for anything channel' even tho it's _not_ identified as such | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | dugger5688: depends on what you are wanting to do with the pc. Install an OS? just get it going? repair somtning? | 19:25 |
| Cain | Virigoth : thx, mine does too, just want to be sure | 19:25 |
| * Pr3nt1c3 slaps himself with a large piece of steak | 19:25 | |

| devi | what is an x3 player? | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | dugger5688: cant use a live cd ? There are some AV-Live cd's out there. | 19:27 |
| dugger5688 | xangua: tried that, didn't work for me so I asked here. Thanks though. | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 19:27 |
| Motilon | dr_willis: gotcha. I keep a good eye on my hardware but it wont hurt to triple check | 19:27 |
| dugger5688 | Dr_Willis: wanted full desktop env, I ended up using a live cd but the computer in question has a buggy CD drive and it was painfully slow. | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | dugger5688: theres also ways to boot an iso file from a hard drive --> http://www.howtoforge.com/install-linux-without-burning-an-iso-to-cd-dvd-use-the-iso-downloaded-to-your-hard-drive | 19:27 |
| devi | can someone help me? My movie is telling me I need an x3 player to watch it? | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dugger5688: no usb boot? | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | dugger5688: so thers no Linux on the machine right now. You want a perment linux setup on it? or just wanting to 'scan' this windows box? | 19:28 |
| snow_wons | I have problem with ubuntu, it switched the screen off once it starts ... the live cd as well ... when run it in safeX mode it starts and do not recognise the screen model | 19:28 |
| snow_wons | any hint where to start? | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: never heard of one. what url/site is saying that? | 19:28 |
| devi | Hey Dr_Willis, it's no site, the movie is on my computer... | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: or do you mean to say. you play the movie.. and the MOVIE at teh begining says to go to some siet and get some thing.... | 19:29 |
| devi | Dr_Willis, yes that's what it says | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | snow_wons: you can add boot options to set resolutions etc. | 19:30 |
| dugger5688 | Dr_willis: Just scan | 19:30 |
| Virigoth | sound sketchy | 19:30 |
| netrider | snow_wons do you have a backup of your information? or a second partition? | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: well not to sound mean.. but.. err.. IS this a porno? | 19:30 |
| wombatman | http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091208225853AAbF0yj | 19:30 |
| devi | Dr_Willis hahaha.. no way! | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: that sounds like a TYPICAL Malware/virus/ type thing.. | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: so where did the video come from? | 19:30 |
| devi | Dr_Willis oh :( So I have to delete it? | 19:30 |
| Virigoth | devi: delete, find another source... | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: sounds like copyrighted material asking for a "plugin" to me | 19:30 |
| Virigoth | is what I'd do | 19:30 |
| Virigoth | lol | 19:30 |
| devi | Dr_Willis: I can't tewll you ;) | 19:31 |
| ender_ | bazhang: if i wait long enough it will go away and leave me with no way to open files then if i end gvfsd-trash it starts again | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: yep. but ive seen 'warez/mal-videos' also act likw that. | 19:31 |
| devi | Virigoth, ok, that sucks! | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: guess you are on your own then.. sounds like Malware to me.. or some fancy DRM. | 19:31 |
| devi | Dr_Willis, what's a DRM? | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: copy protection | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | see 'apple' :) | 19:32 |
| wombatman | digital rights management | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: its usually some encoder (+malware) which misses certail patterns of bits. If you can find out the pattern etc you can retrieve the video | 19:32 |
| dunek | lol | 19:32 |
| joecrawford | are connections from freenode webchat banned on #ubuntu? | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Digital RESTRICTIONS on Material :) | 19:32 |
| devi | aha, well ok, plenty complicated and I was so looking forward to that :( | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | joecrawford: I was banned earlier when using it. I'm using andchat now and its fine | 19:33 |
| devi | Bloody DRM! | 19:33 |
| devi | hihihi | 19:33 |
| netrider | snow_wons you can try to reinstall hit the live cd and destroy the partitios and create it again, are you installing lucid lynx? or other distribution? | 19:33 |
| wombatman | i don't think yours is drm | 19:33 |
| wombatman | its probably a scam | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: find a better source i guess.. IVe had to help friends 'reinstall windows' after they install some 'codecs' to watch videos on their machines. :) | 19:33 |
| devi | well that sucks just as much | 19:33 |
| wombatman | you pay to play the file and it probably infects you with some malware | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: since you wont tell us the source.. well. :) have fun. | 19:34 |
| ender_ | can someone please help me im dieing here... | 19:34 |
| Virigoth | call 911? | 19:34 |
| devi | Dr_Willis, I don't even remember the source... | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | 'to play this video.. download this codec from some russian web site.....' <--- Never a good sign. | 19:34 |
| ender_ | this isnt 911? | 19:34 |
| Virigoth | :) | 19:34 |
| * ender_ dies. | 19:34 | |
| Virigoth | I haven't been following your issue so I'm no help | 19:34 |
| Virigoth | lol | 19:34 |
| wombatman | I hate most drm but it can be done properly. The largest problem is that it already has been done wrong and so for most just the term leaves a bad taste | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | wombatman: most things like that stop after so many Mbs into the file. You can use dd with an offset to miss the start of the file out ;). Just takes websearching | 19:34 |
| bluelf | hey everyone , i cant find many things on compizConfig Settings . like cube reflection and deformations anyone knows how to get them ? | 19:35 |
| ender_ | my issue is ive got an unending list of "Starting file manager" poping up and disapearing | 19:35 |
| devi | ok everyone, thanks for ur help and goodnight | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bluelf: theres extra packages of effects/plugins in the repos. try there/those | 19:35 |
| yukongt | the icon that is usually up in the panel to connect to networks is gone and i can figure out how to add it back. It automatically connected to the wifi at my house, but i cant get it to connect anywhere else because i cant see which ones are available. How can i get the network connections back in the panel? | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bluelf: i'd ask in #compiz ,its more specific to you issue | 19:35 |
| ender_ | and it doesnt seem to effect the computer in any way other than i cant open any files or folders | 19:35 |
| wombatman | and if that doesn't work you can install from source pretty easily | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | yukongt: alt+f2 type: nm-applet press enter | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ender_: i saw nautiuls do that once ages ago during beta.. id get 1000+ windows poping up.. then they would like crash.. then close... | 19:36 |
| ender_ | ooh ooh what did you do to fix it? | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | yukongt: it doesn't need to be running to get connected, you just won't get notifications | 19:36 |
| quidnunc | What is the command to look up registrar information? | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ender_: try update/upgrading from the console? perhaps theres some bug. | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ender_: nothing. :) the updates eventually fixed it. | 19:36 |
| xangua | yukongt: do you have the notification area in your panel¿¿ if not add it, if yes then just launch: nm-applet | 19:36 |
| bluelf | Dr_Willis any specific place i should look for these plugins? | 19:36 |
| ender_ | bah!? | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | bluelf: the search feature of synaptic | 19:36 |
| yukongt | it is showing my battery info and sound and everything else i just cant do wifi like normal | 19:37 |
| joecrawford | i can't connect to #ubuntu from webchat.freenode.net | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Night all | 19:37 |
| yukongt | i just did nm-applet and nothing changed | 19:37 |
| wombatman | bluelf: synaptic is under system then administration | 19:37 |
| netrider | hi, do you know how can i make a room for play wormux in my local network? | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | yukongt: is the wifi configured? | 19:37 |
| yukongt | i am on it now. It is connected but no icon | 19:38 |
| dugger5688 | yukongt: nm-applet doesn't show batter, etc. It's only for networking. | 19:38 |
| Spaztic_One | OK, so, i'm not exactly sure what I did, but I think I pressed control-alt-F11 and it logged me out and went into a full screen terminal. Any one know what that was about, or how to get the UI back to a GUI when it happens? | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | yukongt: it isn't needed to get wifi, you only need it to configure new and existing connections | 19:38 |
| dugger5688 | You can try 'killall nm-applet' then use alt+F2 and enter 'nm-applet' | 19:39 |
| dugger5688 | Might boot you off wireless though. | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | yukongt: the network manager service runs in the background and connects based on your configured networks | 19:39 |
| spock_ | list | 19:39 |
| guntbert | Spaztic_One: press alt+F7 | 19:39 |
| spock_ | join ubuntu-e | 19:40 |
| abhi_nav | Spaztic_One, alt f8 or f10 somethingl ike that try yes as guntbert says | 19:40 |
| andy_ | i know this should be asked in another chanel (i did already), but does anyone happen to know how to edit the Applications menu in xfce for ubuntu 10.4? I think i found the file but it doesn't work to modify it (/etc/xdg/.../xfce-applications.menu) | 19:40 |
| yukongt | yea but i was wanting back to normal. i want to be able to connect at work and everything | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dugger5688: it won't, the applet is only a config gui. Just like you don't need firestarter running to have the firewall up | 19:40 |
| Spaztic_One | OK, thanks guys. Now, can you tell me what exactly I did anyway? | 19:40 |
| xangua | yukongt: add the NOTIFICATION AREA to the panel | 19:40 |
| wombatman | bluelf: you can also check http://wiki.compiz.org/Install/PluginsFromGit | 19:40 |
| aczer | yyy | 19:40 |
| aczer | right | 19:40 |
| wombatman | bluelf: you should do the synaptic thing first and then if you still miss stuff do that | 19:40 |
| abhi_nav | Spaztic_One, that was terminal you logged into without loosing your current session | 19:40 |
| aczer | irc after 15years | 19:41 |
| yukongt | xangua: thanks thats what i was looking for! | 19:41 |

| === sam_ is now known as sinusoid | ||
| Spaztic_One | Ah, ok, but I had to login on that | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy_: you can edit the files in /usr/share/applications if you want | 19:41 |
| wombatman | bluelf: sometimes it can also help to install from source if the plugin is broken | 19:41 |
| invinciblemutant | is there anyway to make evolution standby on the panel apart from alltray | 19:41 |
| aczer | i have question about accu consumption in ubuntu | 19:42 |
| aczer | anybody help? | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: there's a plugin for it online (not in the repo afaik) | 19:42 |
| bluelf | Dr_Willis, wombatman, thanks i just did synaptic thing | 19:42 |
| abhi_nav | !ask | aczer | 19:43 |
| ubottu | aczer: 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. :-) | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | invinciblemutant: what's wrong with alltray if it works? You can set a hotkey to show / hide the app as part of the alltray command | 19:43 |

| nico_ | hold on i will check. | 19:47 |
| guntbert | Spaztic_One: that is a feature - sometimes the only way to access your system when X has/makes trouble (ctrl+alt+F1) - back with alt+F7 or with repeated alt+left or alt#right | 19:47 |

| nico__ | i don't know how and personally am tired of being a 31 year old woman having to stick by rules for 4 year olds. if i didn't need to get this young ladies computer fixed i wouldn't even bother. | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: also try a wired connection and get updated. May help | 20:04 |
| duffydack | Szgan, install manually then. apt-get install fglrx | 20:05 |
| Szgan | says it already at the latest version | 20:05 |
| Szgan | but every time i startup i get a error | 20:05 |
| nico__ | i can connect because i am hard wired in but where she is she can only work wirelessly | 20:05 |
| khyqo | i guess no one knows how to solve my problem.. :'( | 20:05 |
| Szgan | so i have to revert to low graphocs mode | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: you have the hard part done. The device his drivered | 20:05 |
| DesiArnez6 | Why can I not add my own Google Talk Account? | 20:05 |
| DesiArnez6 | as a Buddy^ | 20:06 |
| Szgan | when i uninstalled the ati drivers, it changed something in xorg or something and it errored | 20:06 |
| Randolph | no idea about to boot directly with a terminal and without xserver | 20:06 |
| nico__ | yea i know that took me 3 days to accomplish, this is where i am pulling my hair out though because i'm going it is supose to be working!!!! | 20:06 |
| nico__ | lol | 20:06 |
| Szgan | i googled and did the commands they said at that page | 20:06 |
| jeffm28 | JOIN | 20:06 |
| Szgan | but still gives me the error D: | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: I suggest installing wicd and using that. It will automagically remove betwork manager for you. Wicd gives a lot more info ab out how the connection is going | 20:06 |
| nico__ | how do u do that? | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: you may also want to reboot and run: dmesg | less ,to see if the device needs a firmare file you don't have | 20:07 |
| Hilikus_ | how can i convert bmps to jpgs from the console? | 20:07 |
| jeffm28 | QUIT | 20:07 |
| sean-laptop | hello all i was wondering a little something that i hope someon can help me with | 20:08 |
| mneptok | nico__: the rules apply to everyone, not just you. i'm a 45 year old man and the rules apply to me. | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: sudo apt-get install wicd; sudo apt-get --purge remove network-manager* | 20:08 |
| abhi_nav | :D lol | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus_: install imagemagick and use the command: convert | 20:08 |
| Hilikus_ | thanks ActionParsnip | 20:08 |
| Szgan | so anyone know i can get rid of the error on startup? (the video driver one) | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus_: convert inputfilename.bmp outputfilename.jpg | 20:09 |
| sean-laptop | i have lucid installed on an old thinkpad t20 and i am using a usb wifi stick to get online.. after a while i lose connection and i was wondering if it was a power management thing that was causing it | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus_: if you have a lot to do you can use it in a script | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sean-laptop: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail ,it should give clues | 20:09 |
| sean-laptop | in terminal? | 20:09 |
| nico__ | i know but i have been on 4 different chats 2day and if i hear about one more set of rules i think i will scream. i can't post over a certain amount, someone can't help one they find out what distro i am using cause its against the rules, etc., etc. this has been the afternoon from hell just trying to get this done. | 20:09 |
| nico__ | lol | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sean-laptop: yes | 20:10 |
| duffydack | Talkin of Chrome http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/chrome-dev-channel-adds-gnome-keyring.html nice. | 20:10 |
| sean-laptop | ok | 20:10 |
| duffydack | damn wrong chan | 20:10 |
| wombatman | nico__: shut it | 20:10 |
| DesiArnez6 | Pidgin > How do I add my gtalk account as a buddy? | 20:10 |
| mneptok | nico__: at 31 years of age you should have learned by now that a day can get a LOT worse than computer problems. ;) | 20:10 |
| sean-laptop | yeah cause other than that its running fine and gives me a good connection speed off my single USB 1.1 connection that i use for it | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: think about it, if you paste like 40 lines it will scroll the channel like mad. Now there are about 1400 so even if 0.1% did it the channel would be complely useless as it would be full of people pasting stupidly long outputs | 20:11 |
| sean-laptop | by the way the USB stick i am using is a Nintendo Wifi adapter.. ubuntu seems to automatically recognize it as a USB wifi stick | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: its a rule so the channel is actually useful rather than a perpetually scrolling mess | 20:11 |
| abhi_nav | I can understand nico__ | 20:12 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: which it is, anyway. :P | 20:12 |
| nico__ | i ran the sudo apt-get install wicd and it said it doesn't exist | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: to find you distro out run: lsb_release -a | 20:12 |
| Szgan | so, is there a way to reset xorg.conf file? | 20:12 |
| mneptok | nico__: it's the wireless controller you're trying to get working? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: kinda but pastebin helps lots ;) | 20:12 |
| nico__ | i have a wireless usb adapter that says it is there in the computer but will not connect 2 the internet | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nico__: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wicd | 20:13 |
| mneptok | nico__: i assume that you have already checked in System > Administration > Hardware drivers ? | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: ilwlist show APs | 20:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ive got a DUP connection going to 224.0.0.56 not sure why and which service is using it, how can I go identifying this? | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: the port number may be a clue | 20:14 |
| mneptok | nico__: may i PM you? | 20:14 |
| nico__ | nope that didn't work either. | 20:15 |
| nico__ | sure mneptok | 20:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, yeah I know the port just not the service, eeerh how do I go about identifying it? | 20:15 |
| Szgan | looks like i got it :) | 20:15 |
| Szgan | if not il return :p | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: websearch for the port and protocol | 20:16 |

| DHR | I'm having a lot of trouble with k3b on Lucid. It looks to me as if DVD auto-mounting (for lack of a better term) is interfering with k3b. So I tried brasero (since it is more at home in gnome) and have the similar problems. I've tried hal-disable-polling but that doesn't seem to prevent something trying to access the disk when I insert one. Any ideas? | 20:24 |
| ^Jay2^ | are there any open radeon drivers for ubuntu/ | 20:24 |

| mattwj2002 | I need some help really bad with fsck and e2fsck | 20:25 |
| fasT | thanks a lot guys | 20:25 |
| mattwj2002 | :( | 20:25 |
| durt | fasT, didn't check to see if that's correct but there is a backtrack channel | 20:25 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: say more | 20:25 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 20:25 |
| alasca | !backtrack | 20:25 |
| ubottu | 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) | 20:25 |
| soadkombucha | I always forget: Where is the file located for editing GRUB options (not grub.cfg) | 20:26 |
| mattwj2002 | ummm where to start | 20:26 |
| durt | soadkombucha, in /etc/default IIRC. | 20:26 |
| DHR | soadkombucha: it changed with the adoption of grub2. Which are you using? | 20:26 |
| mattwj2002 | Ubuntu has reported that one of my drives is out of normal paramaters | 20:26 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: is that SMART or something else? | 20:27 |
| mattwj2002 | and another one it is starting to show corrupt too (one that I was moving partitions around on) | 20:27 |
| mattwj2002 | one second I'll have to check | 20:27 |
| mattwj2002 | the disk utility in 10.04 | 20:28 |
| soadkombucha | DHR: Grub 2 if it's default on 10.04 | 20:28 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah smart status | 20:28 |
| soadkombucha | DHR: I know it's not /etc/grub/grub.cfg, I just always forget where exactly it is and google always points to grub.cfg it seems | 20:28 |
| fasT | when I try to join it says: "Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned)." | 20:28 |
| mattwj2002 | maybe I can fix the other one using the gui? | 20:28 |
| DHR | soadkombucha: durt told you the right answer for frub2 | 20:28 |
| fasT | when I try to join it says: "Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned)." | 20:29 |
| Flare183 | fasT: Ask in #freenode | 20:29 |
| soadkombucha | durt: Thank you. | 20:29 |
| mattwj2002 | one of my partitions I check the filesystem and it says it is not clean? what does that mean? that is using the gui? the disk utility in other words | 20:29 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: smart is about disk "hardware", fsck is about software-imposed datastructure on disk (i.e. software). Not that they are unrelated, just different levels. | 20:30 |
| fasT | Flare183: is it bout backtrack? | 20:30 |
| nbohaychuk | my netbook is trying to upgrade distros, but I'm on 10.04, what is going on? | 20:30 |
| arkoldthos | heya people, just by mistake i deleted the whole /etc/X11, then i purged the whole xserver-xorg and reinstalled it. Im able to join GDM but Gnome doesnt start | 20:30 |
| Flare183 | fasT: no but it'll they'll help you work it out | 20:30 |
| nbohaychuk | I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix, fresh install | 20:30 |
| fasT | Flare183: Thanks. Let me check it out. | 20:30 |
| fasT | Flare: can you tell me why am I banned? | 20:31 |
| steffan | fasT: don't IRC as root | 20:31 |
| mattwj2002 | is there an easy gui for cleaning a partition? | 20:31 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: basically, SMART is intended to tell you that your drive is sick and it's time to migrate off it before it dies. Of course that is a gross simplification. | 20:31 |
| steffan | fasT: that is why you are banned in that channel | 20:31 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 20:31 |
| Flare183 | !fsck | mattwj2002 | 20:32 |
| ubottu | mattwj2002: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:32 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: what *exactly* is SMART saying | 20:32 |
| Randolph | I have solved my problem | 20:32 |
| fasT | kk | 20:32 |
| SailorReality | is there a way to disable suspend/hibernate completely? | 20:33 |
| Randolph | but my screen still goes on power saving mode | 20:33 |
| mattwj2002 | one moment | 20:33 |
| Flare183 | Randolph: its supposed to? | 20:33 |
| SailorReality | Randolph: and then you cant get it back? | 20:33 |
| SailorReality | because i have the same problem | 20:34 |
| Randolph | Sailor : yes | 20:34 |
| RoH^ | duffydack: I m in the Edge flipping tab of the wall plugin but Ithere are only 3 options there : Edge Flip Pointer, Move and Dnd. Where can I reduce the edge sizes ? | 20:34 |
| SailorReality | automatic suspension basically i cant even use it for longer than half an hour | 20:34 |
| Randolph | Sailor : I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:34 |
| mattwj2002 | Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! | 20:34 |
| mattwj2002 | :O | 20:34 |
| duffydack | RoH^, I meant to disable edge flipping... | 20:35 |

| auska | connected by a USB since it don't mount itself | 20:35 |
| mattwj2002 | :( | 20:35 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: that's not a SMART messaeg. But it sure is scary. Can you carefully quote the whole thing? | 20:35 |
| RoH^ | oh, but I want to make it less sensitive not disable it :) | 20:35 |
| auska | i have done a fdisk -l and i took: http://pastebin.ca/1894006 | 20:35 |
| auska | and with a lsusb: http://pastebin.ca/1894008 | 20:35 |

| troubled | is there a specific package or setting to get back the standard bootsplash image? After playing with kubuntu and switching back by removing the packages, I seem to have have reverted to some vga quality, 2 color image. thanks | 20:36 |
| mattwj2002 | :P | 20:36 |

| DHR | auska: /dev/sda is probably your internal hard disk. It only has Linux partitions. You want some other drive. | 20:40 |
| Oer | fasT ask in #backtrack , it is not supported here. | 20:40 |
| Suzi | in my laptop sound does not come from headphone, what should i do? | 20:40 |

| auska | DHR, but what i can see from what i see whit the lsusb and the fdisk it is detected, isn't it? | 20:41 |

| mattwj2002 | :( | 20:41 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: ok good phew | 20:41 |
| mattwj2002 | it is ntfs though | 20:41 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: that looks not good. I don't know how you got such a situation. Does SMART say anything (command is smartctl; man page gives way too many options) | 20:42 |
| mattwj2002 | should I let windows try to fix it? | 20:42 |
| mattwj2002 | this is a dual boot | 20:42 |
| cybercugina | s | 20:42 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: windows can't mess with ext filesystems | 20:42 |
| mattwj2002 | I thought it was | 20:42 |
| mattwj2002 | it is ntfs I think | 20:42 |
| mattwj2002 | one second | 20:42 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: fsck thinks it is ext2 or ext3 or ext4. Do you? | 20:43 |
| mattwj2002 | I don't remember | 20:43 |
| mattwj2002 | one second I'll tell you | 20:43 |
| joeoh | Hey | 20:44 |
| mattwj2002 | I was trying to convert everything to NTFS so my dual boot could read everything on both systems | 20:44 |
| joeoh | Cool (Y) | 20:44 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: Bad idea :/ | 20:44 |
| Suzi | in my laptop sound does not come from headphone, i am using ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix | 20:44 |
| DHR | auska: I don't recognize a disk in the lsusb output | 20:45 |
| DHR | auska: but even if there were one, it probably isn't /dev/sda | 20:45 |
| mattwj2002 | no that is definitely ext3 | 20:45 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: converting filesystems is a VERY bad idea on linux | 20:45 |
| mattwj2002 | is there a distro that specialize is fixing partitions? | 20:46 |
| mattwj2002 | *specializes | 20:46 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: they have certain restrictions on some that others don't it would be a very bad idea to do this | 20:46 |
| sean-laptop | ok so i ran dmesg | tail | 20:46 |
| mattwj2002 | I didn't convert it | 20:46 |
| mattwj2002 | I resized and was going to move it by hand | 20:46 |
| mattwj2002 | convert was the wrong term | 20:47 |
| sean-laptop | it seems to disconnect and have wlan0 change to wlan2 | 20:47 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: there is a very large number of ways of breaking filesystems. how to fix depends on how it got broke. You don't seem to know quite enough to even explain what you did. | 20:47 |
| Flare183 | mattwj2002: oh ok phew, sorry that I got worked up | 20:47 |
| mattwj2002 | yeah I used gparted the live cd | 20:47 |
| Sainted | CAN SOMEONE HELP ME I ACCIDENTLY SUDO RM -RF MY WHOLE HARD DRIVE WHAT DO I DO | 20:47 |

| Suzi | hey can anybody help me to figure it it out why i am not able to hear from headphone? | 20:49 |
| DHR | Sainted: with great difficulty, you might recover some data (if it is precious). A working system is not worth the bother. | 20:49 |
| Jordan_U | Sainted: If you have important files that you need to recover you can try photorec, but there is no way around needing to re-install. | 20:49 |
| Sainted | Alright lads, thanks for the heads up | 20:50 |
| Sainted | ill just go about reinstalling later | 20:50 |

| Suzi | Sainted, yes | 20:50 |
| Flare183 | sean-laptop: driver issue yup | 20:50 |
| Sainted | but your sound works normally? just when you plug in headphones it doesn't? | 20:51 |
| sean-laptop | Flare183: its a nintendo wifi adapter.. ubuntu recognized it right away as a wifi adapter | 20:51 |
| Suzi | yes, sound still comes from from spaeker | 20:51 |
| Flare183 | sean-laptop: XD No wonder, What driver is it trying to use? | 20:51 |
| sean-laptop | how do i find that out.. in terminal?> | 20:51 |

| sean-laptop | yeah i upgraded the ram and i am running XFCE on it | 20:54 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: dangerous, but I think fsck has a -y flag. Check the manpage. | 20:55 |
| mattwj2002 | should I say no? | 20:55 |
| mattwj2002 | gparted told me to | 20:55 |
| Flare183 | well let gparted fix it | 20:55 |
| Flare183 | just make sure its unmounted | 20:55 |
| Flare183 | gparted knows what its doing | 20:56 |
| DHR | mattwj2002: "no" means declining a particular fix. Fut it might not be the right fix. That's why it is asking you. | 20:56 |
| DHR | s/fut/but/ | 20:56 |
| Flare183 | lol regex ^^ | 20:56 |
| funkiwan | ah, figured it out. adding "/usr/bin/geany Uxr," to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5 and then calling "$sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload" did the trick | 20:56 |

| DHR | bluelf: I never use ATI's proprietary one. It is higher performance for 3d / opengl kinds of things. It doesn't coexist well with radeon or radeonhd drivers. Sometimes it won't work with the latest kernel. Since I don't use it, I don't keep track of that. | 21:00 |
| sean-laptop | ok so it is installed | 21:01 |
| sean-laptop | now what? lol | 21:01 |
| Flare183 | sean-laptop: alright, sudo lsusb -v | pastebinit | 21:01 |
| Flare183 | the | is the button right above the enter key | 21:01 |
| simar | WarlockLord, Go to synaptics package manager install pulseaudio and uninstall what you don't want | 21:01 |
| DHR | WarlockLord: photon would be about light. phonon is for sound. | 21:01 |
| WarlockLord | i upgraded my alsa to 1.23 for hdmi audio support on my nvidia card and now pulse is not available | 21:01 |
| Randolph | Sailor : I finished to reinstall nvidia driver and it's OK | 21:01 |

| Randolph | Sailor : all in a terminal | 21:02 |
| DHR | bluelf: do you know what you are using now? How did you install it? | 21:02 |
| DHR | bluelf: I'm not trying to tell you that the open source driver is better for you, only that I've decided that for me. | 21:03 |
| WarlockLord | pulseaudio daemon says its running, but amarok does not let me pick pulse as my audio device | 21:03 |

| DHR | bluelf: I've heard complaints that the proprietary driver setup mucks config files or something else in a way that makes the open source driver not work. Details unknown to me. | 21:06 |
| WarlockLord | so how do i make pulseaudio take preference over phonon? | 21:06 |
| Flare183 | sean-laptop: hold on | 21:06 |

| kjele | alx_torres: Can you detect any network with your wifi? | 21:08 |
| DHR | bluelf: I've not done it. Historically, others have had little config problems. Config problems with X are often annoying to figure out. So my advice is: don't bother unless you are willing to have a minor adventure. This may be coloured by the many little problems I'm having in other parts of Lucid. | 21:08 |
| WarlockLord | or better still, how do i make pulseaudio light up as an option again in phonon settings? | 21:08 |
| bluelf | DHR: oh then lets let it be ! maybe some other time .. thanks for your help | 21:09 |
| DHR | anirvana: how did that happen? Easiest: let the package manager remove, then install. | 21:09 |

I've tried hal-disable-polling but that doesn't seem to prevent something trying to access the disk when I insert one. Any ideas? | 21:11 |

| LJRuff | DuffHimself, so the answer is yes. =) Right click the "Applications" button and click "Edit Menu" | 22:38 |

| LJRuff | DuffHimself, most of us know what it is. =) Did you open the edit menus menu? | 22:40 |
| DuffHimself | i did, yes | 22:40 |
| LJRuff | You see two fields with icons, yeah? | 22:40 |
| aeon-ltd | DuffHimself: it will most likely be in /usr/bin so something like /usr/bin/mupen64 would be the path | 22:40 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: i think that's a command-line app. in which case a GUI launcher will not be created for it. | 22:41 |

| DuffHimself | nothing | 22:43 |
| DuffHimself | "ls -a | grep mupen" right? | 22:43 |
| LJRuff | Yes | 22:43 |
| linuxnoob | How do I force unmount root? | 22:43 |
| Oer | terminal> mupen64plus --help | 22:44 |
| mneptok | LJRuff: if this is a CLI app that requires flags be sent to it (e.g. location of a ROM) then a GUI launcher is going to be as useful as a whistle on a plow. | 22:44 |
| sean-laptop | LJRuff, yep.. its just a rebadged Buffalo USB wifi stick | 22:44 |
| LJRuff | mnemon, I wonder how useful whistles are on plows.... but while I contemplate that - I am curious now where it launches from. | 22:45 |

| mneptok | LJRuff: if installed from the Software Center, it certainly is not installed to the root of a user's home directory. | 22:45 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, so it works but it drops the connection on occasion? | 22:45 |
| sean-laptop | aeon-ltd, yeah works nice.. i had two given to me | 22:45 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: type "which mupen64plus" in a terminal | 22:45 |
| sean-laptop | LJRuff, it will drop the connection randomly.. here is the pastebin url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/458896/ | 22:46 |
| LJRuff | mneptok, you got this for me with DuffHimself? =) | 22:46 |
| DuffHimself | "/usr/games/mupen64plus" | 22:46 |
| mneptok | LJRuff: sure. | 22:46 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, I am looking at it now | 22:46 |
| sean-laptop | LJRuff, thats the syslog copypasta | 22:46 |
| LJRuff | mneptok, thanks! | 22:46 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: now just type "mupen64plus" | 22:46 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: what happens? | 22:46 |
| DuffHimself | woah | 22:47 |
| DuffHimself | lots of text and then a GUI window opened | 22:47 |
| DuffHimself | :p | 22:47 |
| alpha_ | How do I change sound device in ubbuntu 10.04? It used o be System -> Preferences -> Sound and under the tab "devices" | 22:47 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: does the GUI window contain a way to load a ROM? | 22:47 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, I am looking into this now. =) | 22:47 |
| sean-laptop | LJRuff, thanks bud! | 22:47 |
| DuffHimself | yes | 22:48 |
| DuffHimself | "open rom" | 22:48 |
| DuffHimself | and "play", "config controls" etc. | 22:48 |
| DuffHimself | the usuals | 22:48 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: OK, then a GUI launcher will work. | 22:48 |
| soadkombucha | OK so the issue is more pronounced than I thought.. Anyone know why my sound doesn't work as soon as I go to load a virtual machine? | 22:48 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: close any windows that are currently open. let's get back to a clean screen. | 22:49 |

| aeon-ltd | armor-64: check proxy settings | 22:49 |
| DuffHimself | (Duffhimself has left IRC) | 22:49 |
| DuffHimself | lolol | 22:49 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: well, not the obvious windows | 22:50 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, This is a little out of my league, methinks. =( Sorry... | 22:50 |
| DuffHimself | ^__^ | 22:50 |
| re182 | anyone know a program where i can view the sending/recieving packets for my wifi card? | 22:50 |
| DuffHimself | right, ready | 22:50 |
| === sam_ is now known as sinusoid | ||
| sean-laptop | LJRuff, thats cool man.. works again when i unplug it and plug it back in | 22:50 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: go to System > Preferences > Main Menu | 22:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soadkombucha, probably because you're not using pulse but instead your using alsa which means that the first application to request sound input gets control of it but than I just logged on | 22:50 |
| re182 | I have one in windows, but i'm on a shoddy internet connection right now and it's hard to seek for one on the internet....irc works better | 22:50 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, you could always ask in #linux or #hardware. | 22:50 |
| DuffHimself | kk | 22:51 |
| sean-laptop | ok | 22:51 |
| sean-laptop | thanks man | 22:51 |
| DuffHimself | mneptok: Then create item? | 22:51 |
| LJRuff | sean-laptop, yw | 22:51 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: highlight "Games" and click the "New Item" button | 22:51 |
| armor-64 | aeon-ltd: my main problem is that my laptop can not connect to internet via my mobile broadband usb,as i say i can do updates but not to surf with firefox,maybe you can help me with the proxy settings if it is the prob | 22:51 |
| DuffHimself | right | 22:51 |
| studentz | re182 System-> SystemMonitor->Resources | 22:52 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: "Tyoe" is "Application." "Name" is mupen64plus. "Command" is /usr/games/mupen64plus | 22:52 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: when that's filled in, click "OK" and then look in the Games menu | 22:52 |
| aeon-ltd | armor-64: so you are connected via mob. broadband, updates work, browsing doesn't. clear the proxy settings in ff if you get your settings set by your isp | 22:52 |
| peropero | hi all, after last apt-get upgrade my ubuntu doesn't start anymore, after grub it goes black and stays like that for ever.

| crystaltv | Has anyone else had problems with the dual boot on windows xp freezing and not loading Ubuntu? | 22:53 |
| peropero | crystaltv: same here | 22:53 |
| mneptok | DuffHimself: please go to Launchpad and file a bug against mupen64plus saying it does not create a menu item | 22:53 |
| DuffHimself | what's the "launchpad"? | 22:54 |
| crystaltv | peropero thought it was just me :) | 22:54 |
| peropero | crystaltv: black screen after selecting ubuntu from grub? | 22:54 |

| erpo | I used to run a dual boot 9.10/Windows XP system. Then I erased 9.10 and did a fresh install of 10.04. Now I can't boot into Windows and apparently 10.04 uses grub2 that is configured completely differently from grub. How can I get access to windows again? | 22:55 |

| linuxnoob | I got my netbook to boot | 22:56 |
| crystaltv | peropero depends on which option I take but goes to console window then freezes | 22:56 |
| linuxnoob | Ubuntu Lucid but before boot it told me a bunch of weird things about having to go to such and such to download this or that | 22:56 |
| mneptok | !launchpad > DuffHimself | 22:56 |
| ubottu | DuffHimself, please see my private message | 22:56 |
| linuxnoob | Said something about downloading the correct firmware? | 22:56 |
| re182 | studentz: gnome | 22:56 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, I commented out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true lines in /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub. Now I at least get a boot menu but there isn't even a Windows option. | 22:56 |
| peropero | crystaltv: If iI select recovery mode it's the same, I get no console, how do you do that? | 22:56 |
| sean-laptop | #dccomics | 22:56 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, I don't think the chainloader is even being invoked. | 22:57 |

| michal|3s | (the stick is 8GB) | 22:59 |
| kanv_ | anybody with mininote HP2133? | 22:59 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, It's nothing like that. If this were original grub, I would say that /boot/grub/menu.lst didn't even have a Windows stanza in it. | 22:59 |
| michal|3s | but still no go | 22:59 |
| peropero | crystaltv: are you still there? | 22:59 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, Now with the change to grub2 I have no idea what is missing from where. | 23:00 |

What am I doing wrong here ? | 23:00 |
| michal|3s | yes, the checksum of cd images i create it from are correct | 23:00 |
| michal|3s | looks like ubuntu cannot be installed from usb | 23:00 |
| peropero | crystaltv: I did it again for this new problem but it doesn't seem to solve it. | 23:00 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, On second thought, that might do the trick. | 23:00 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, Please tell me I don't have to write a shell script just to boot into Windows. :( | 23:00 |
| dominicdinada | Is it normal for Xdebug to hang forever i mean a 200 lines scipt shouldnt take 10 mins | 23:01 |

| dominicdinada | I get no errors | 23:01 |
| michal|3s | aeon-ltd: iso | 23:01 |

| DuffHimself | thanks for the help guys :) | 23:01 |
| crystaltv | peropero: not sure what to do now.. | 23:02 |
| aeon-ltd | erpo: it'll be worth it though :) | 23:02 |
| linuxnoob | WTF | 23:02 |
| erpo | aeon-ltd, Why did Ubuntu decide to make things harder? | 23:02 |
| linuxnoob | I got my netbook to boot Lucid then when I restart it refuses to boot again after 20 minutes of inputting terminal commands | 23:02 |
| aeon-ltd | erpo: they didn't, they thought the new one would be even more automagic than the last | 23:02 |
| peropero | crystaltv: that makes two of us, I don't know if it's related to the dual boot, to the 64bits or to the last upgrade... what else do we have in common? How do you get to a console? | 23:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, this morning their was a talk about installing ubuntu from usb you might want to check out plop, it boots usb devices as hard disks independent from bios, I haven not tested it but it is possible and you could install the iso that way | 23:03 |
| linuxnoob | I feel like reloading win 7 on this computer... | 23:03 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: plop you say? i will google for it | 23:03 |

| peropero | crystaltv: lol ok i'm on the live cd | 23:04 |

| thune3 | rautamiekka: put the http address in quotes | 23:08 |

| Dargon | how do i make dpkg auto satisfy dependencies? | 23:18 |
| linuxnoob | I don't know what graphics drivers it would use, I assume it uses intel graphics accelerator if anything at all. Its got the Intel Atom | 23:18 |
| ubuntu | guys, seriously, whats up with not being able to install weechat? | 23:18 |

| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, hmmm... was it working before or is this a clean install | 23:19 |
| peropero | is there any reason for apt-get update not working using chroot on an other partition if I can ping the repo? | 23:19 |
| linuxnoob | Clean install. | 23:20 |
| Flare183 | switch10_: what? | 23:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, did you try the tty screens? | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | linuxnoob: your on a netbook? so did the netbook edition? | 23:20 |
| peropero | Pirate_Hunter: sure, but except a mispelling correction I'm not flooding though | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | !sound | sandy_ | 23:20 |
| ubottu | sandy_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:20 |
| sandy_ | ok thanks | 23:21 |
| linuxnoob | sebsebseb its the full version the performance when it was working for a few minutes was great and I'd prefer to have all the features | 23:22 |
| linuxnoob | I'm trying it right now | 23:22 |
| linuxnoob | The TTY screens I mean | 23:22 |
| kanv_ | will be sometimes good 3D driver for S3 graphic card? | 23:22 |
| ubutom | kanv_, wouldn't hold my breath | 23:23 |
| linuxnoob | I tried CTRL ALT + F(1-6) and didn't get anything | 23:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, so its a clean install and your trying to fix it im not syaing the full day you've used up has gone to waste but wouldn't it have been much easier if you redo your installation and use the livecd to find out what type of hardware you have | 23:24 |
| kanv_ | ubutom : :) | 23:24 |
| rackandboneman | has anything relevant been found about the i945 graphics nightmare in the last few weeks..... | 23:24 |
| linuxnoob | Yeah | 23:25 |
| Rp3 | want to setup the boot partition to one drive, and the /home structure to another, can anyone point me to a simple tut or site for this... rather than google.... | 23:25 |
| crystaltv | Rp3 try Linux doc project on partitioning | 23:25 |
| phibxr | Rp3, isn't repartitioning still quite a risky business? | 23:26 |
| linuxnoob | I am lost | 23:26 |
| Rp3 | new install, so no biggie | 23:26 |
| Flare183 | kanv_: I've got s3virge and it works pretty well with 3d stuff | 23:26 |
| Rp3 | crystaltv, 10-4, will give it a look... | 23:26 |
| phibxr | Rp3, ah, go ahead then. :D | 23:26 |
| kanv_ | 10.04 is very very better than before versions on my shit HP 2133, ubuntu team did a good job, but this graphic driver is problen also in 10.04 | 23:26 |
| quentusrex | Is there a reasonable way to install KDE from Ubuntu? I want to run both Kbuntu and Ubuntu from the same system. | 23:26 |
| Flare183 | quentusrex: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 23:27 |
| rautamiekka | Rp3: Are you talking about partitioning using Server or Alternate installer, or graphical installer ? | 23:27 |
| linuxnoob | What to do Pirate? | 23:27 |
| lousygarua | quentusrex, try the package `kubuntu-desktop` | 23:28 |
| Rp3 | desktop, hvae a ssd for boot then put everything else on HD, at least what I am thinking, brand new so I can play.. | 23:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, just checked you lappy online and apparently the only issue it had or still has with ubuntu is the sound and ethernet not working other than that it should work so I assume something went wrong on install | 23:28 |
| Flare183 | lousygarua: way ahead of you, I already told him :P | 23:28 |
| darkas | hi | 23:28 |
| lousygarua | Flare183, oh haha missed that | 23:28 |
| Flare183 | lousygarua: :P np | 23:28 |

| megra | Hi, my USB-1 webcam won't work after booting if I don't change unplug and re-plug it. (logitech quickcam; ) I searched a lot, but couldn't find anyone with that problem. Ideas please ? :) | 23:28 |
| lousygarua | Flare183, but you didn't give him the "if you later want to get rid of it, be warned!" :) | 23:28 |
| lousygarua | Flare183, although it's not such an issue | 23:29 |
| rautamiekka | Rp3: Oh, then I can't assist right based off of my head, so I go find you a tut' for it. | 23:29 |
| megra | (my "logitech quickcam" lsusb ignature is 046d:0850) | 23:29 |
| Flare183 | lousygarua: yeah that's the hard and evil part XD | 23:29 |
| mdg | hi | 23:29 |
| megra | Ideas anyone? Please? | 23:30 |
| Rp3 | rautamiekka, no worries, I will play and figure it out...new machine for GF so I have some time, as the other machine still works just slow... | 23:30 |
| linuxnoob | But the install went wrong 5 or 6 times in a row? Is there a way to format the HDD so I can install on a truly clean drive? DBAN didn't work for me and said something about boot errors | 23:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks look for your laptop and read what it says | 23:31 |

| blind | I'm trying to tether my phone, but the only pages i can view are google pages. I can search, product search, image search, but can't load anything else.. but I can ping yahoo for example, but even trying to go to the ip address doesnt work.. weird, right? | 23:32 |
| megra | blind, can you open a terminal? If so, try "host google.fr" and "host yahoo.com", paste the result | 23:33 |
| darkas | I'm having a problem with my touchpad (netbook, ubuntu 10.4 netbook remix): it seems that synaptics doesn't like my touchpad: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/64TE3nta (important part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log) | 23:34 |
| blind | this was probably poorly thought out. now im on wireless. | 23:34 |

| djanatyn-fonxa | Through some strange circumstances, my /etc/apt/sources.list has been wiped. Can anyone tell me the code to type in to get some basic packages from the official repos? I'm running i386, unsure of my version, but I have access to a TTY. | 23:35 |
| Kangarooo | megra: if cam drivers installed it will work on opening programm try cheese or skype | 23:35 |
| megra | darkas, your touchpad works or not ? The logs seems fine till line 50 | 23:35 |
| darkas | and I also had to use the "old" 2.6.32-21 kernel instead of the 2.6.32-23 one, because this one detected my touchpad as a "Generic PS/2 Mouse"... | 23:35 |
| senorpedro | hi | 23:35 |
| ikonia | djanatyn-fonxa: use the software sources gui and just change the "download from" drop down and it will re-create it | 23:35 |
| Petskull | djanatyn-fonxa, - hold on | 23:36 |
| Flare183 | djanatyn-fonxa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard | 23:36 |
| brandon__ | is there anyway to get DeVeDe to remember settings? | 23:36 |
| Petskull | lemme get you ine | 23:36 |
| djanatyn-fonxa | i don't have access to X. | 23:36 |
| Kangarooo | megra: some logitech works with skype but doesnt with other programms | 23:36 |
| Flare183 | ikonia: He doesn't have a GUI atm | 23:36 |
| djanatyn-fonxa | ikonia: X isn't installed yet ^_^ | 23:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | djanatyn-fonxa, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 23:36 |
| megra | Kangarooo, yes it works ... sometime. If I unplug and replug after boot/reboot, cheese works fine. If I don't, cheese shows nothinjg but a black screen | 23:36 |
| senorpedro | how can i connect to wifi on boot? atm i have to login in the gui so that wifi connects | 23:36 |
| darkas | megra: it works, but only like a mouse | 23:36 |
| ikonia | djanatyn-fonxa: X is installed by default | 23:36 |
| darkas | so no scrolling etc. | 23:36 |
| DesiArnez6 | In Pidgin, my Googletalk Account is signed, AND I am on my buddy list. Why does my buddy list say that im off line and then place a red X over the grey circle with the words "Not Authorized" underneath? | 23:36 |
| Flare183 | ikonia: he's systems is b0rked | 23:36 |
| ikonia | it shouldn't "uninstall X" though | 23:36 |
| djanatyn-fonxa | ikonia: ...well, I'm not using the standard desktop install. I prefer to get rid of my bloatware, and besides, I don't even use GNOME. | 23:37 |
| ikonia | djanatyn-fonxa: what are you using | 23:37 |
| megra | Kangarooo, and sometimes I get errors from "v4l" about input/output errors | 23:37 |
| Petskull | djanatyn-fonxa, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wzM6Gh0Z | 23:37 |
| djanatyn-fonxa | ...not sure, this is from 306 days ago, according to my logs. | 23:37 |
| megra | Kangarooo, I just don't understand why it's doing that | 23:37 |
| rautamiekka | Rp3: If you're patient enough, I download the Ubuntu Desktop image and boot my other machine with it so I'll see what you see and can tell what to do. | 23:37 |
| blind | megra, the host command works for any site. | 23:37 |
| megra | Kangarooo, plus the webcam only works on some USB ports ... just *** strange :D . Do you think it might have something to do with working only in USB-1 mode ? | 23:38 |
| phibxr | DesiArnez6, pidgin is just trying to tell you that speaking to yourself is a bad sign. | 23:38 |
| megra | blind, ok, try "wget http://www.google.com" | 23:38 |
| Kangarooo | megra: no this u better all u wrote better post to ubuntu forums.. | 23:39 |
| blind | lynx only loads google, too, no nothing else. | 23:39 |
| megra | blind, if it works, then your browser might be the problem otherwise, the network just don't like you :) | 23:39 |
| DesiArnez6 | phibxr, lol iagree, but AIM, yahoo, and MSN let me do it | 23:39 |
| Flare183 | blind: not if you press g and type in a url :P | 23:39 |
| megra | Kangarooo, k | 23:39 |
| blind | Flare183, ? | 23:39 |
| darkas | megra: the problem is that none of the configuration I do is applied to my touchpad | 23:40 |
| Flare183 | blind: in lynx press g (to goto a url) and type in a url to goto | 23:40 |
| darkas | so I can enable scrolling, but nothing changes | 23:40 |
| blind | oh, i know that. i passed the url at the cli | 23:40 |
| DesiArnez6 | phibxr, i also hop others are not seeing me as offline | 23:40 |
| Flare183 | blind: oh alright, just letting you know :) | 23:40 |
| linuxnoob | Now my machine decides to boot up just fine, we'll see how it works after a couple of restarts | 23:41 |

| Inph3r | pessoal instalei o sendmail dessa forma apt-get install sendmail | 23:42 |
| Inph3r | depois desinstalei apt-get remove sendmail | 23:42 |

| Inph3r | so que agora quando tento instalar o sendmail novamente nao instala mais | 23:42 |
| Incarnation | what folders might they be in? | 23:42 |

| unomi | any fix for the gparted crash bug in 10.4 ? | 23:43 |

| alpha_ | I just found a folder named "PROTECTED_STORE_PATH" under my home folder.What is it? | 23:44 |
| unomi | yeah it has a pretty serious one with some usb sticks | 23:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, if it tells you to do that for your machine its because they know why and it tells you what to install as well | 23:44 |
| unomi | I can't install ubuntu due to it | 23:44 |
| unomi | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/581144 | 23:44 |
| linuxnoob | ah okay | 23:45 |
| toolbear | hi. is there a way to convert "diff output text" into "plain text" or "ascii text". i made a "patch" with diff and gedit won't open it because it "can't detect the character encoding" | 23:45 |
| DesiArnez6 | In Pidgin, my Googletalk Account is signed, AND I am on my buddy list. Why does my buddy list say that im off line and then place a red X over the grey circle with the words "Not Authorized" underneath? I don't want others to think im offline when I am online | 23:45 |
| Flare183 | unomi: Looks like gparted flipped out due to the actual drive | 23:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flare183, it has bugs with 10.4 mostly because of the way it deals with the hard disks you can read the changes/improvements in the release notes which I've never found important until recently | 23:45 |
| Flare183 | Pirate_Hunter: ahh ok | 23:46 |
| Incarnation | im trying to get firefox to add vuze as one of the launcher applications for .torrent files when i download them | 23:46 |
| Incarnation | can anyone help me? | 23:46 |
| unomi | flare yes, it can't seem to hand drives with less than 63 heads | 23:46 |
| unomi | where can I modify the script that ubiquity uses for install? | 23:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flare183, there is also other reason like some of the partition formats, changes in kernel etc | 23:47 |
| Flare183 | Pirate_Hunter: hmm I alright | 23:47 |
| unomi | it would be nice if they would update the 10.4 images | 23:47 |
| Compiling | 10.04 | 23:47 |
| unomi | on a machine that I did manage to install it on, I had to dl 250mb of updates right off the bat | 23:48 |
| unomi | some of them arbitrary execution bugs | 23:48 |
| linuxnoob | Pirate thanks for the help, not sure if my problem is fixed but it sure isn't acting weird anymore | 23:48 |
| Compiling | you dont need to dl them all | 23:48 |
| Bishop_ | hi | 23:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Incarnation, firefox has the option to open file with browse to you bin folder and find vuze or type in terminal 'whereis vuze' without quotes and browse to that folder and choose it | 23:48 |
| Compiling | id recommend the security ones though | 23:48 |
| rautamiekka | !hi | Bishop_ | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Bishop_: 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! | 23:48 |
| === sam_ is now known as sinusoid | ||
| unomi | Compiling: do you know where I can edit the install script for ubiquity? | 23:48 |
| Flare183 | unomi: have you tried the alternative disk? | 23:49 |
| unomi | which alternative disk? | 23:49 |
| Flare183 | !alternative | unomi | 23:49 |
| ubottu | unomi: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 23:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | linuxnoob, well at least its working even knowing I would feel better if the cause of the problem was known, still its better working than broken and you didn't have to reinstall which recently im more than happy suggesting people to do :'s | 23:50 |
| Incarnation | Pirate_Hunter so the file vuze.1.gz is the file I need to point firefox to - but why is it vuze.1.gz, and do all files require a .1.gz extension name to be considered executable, like in Windows? Can you tell me a bit more about the nature of Linux operating systems so that I understand what I'm doing? | 23:50 |
| unomi | Flare183: wouldn't matter | 23:50 |
| unomi | its a bug in libparted | 23:50 |
| Compiling | .gz is a gzipped file | 23:50 |
| Compiling | you don't execute them directly | 23:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Incarnation, nope it wouldnt end in .gz that is the wrong file and is probably found in /usr/share/docs/... paste what you get from whereis | 23:51 |
| Incarnation | Pirate_Hunter: sorry the file was in usr/bin/vuze - why do files in linux not have extensions? How does the system recognize them as being executable or not? | 23:51 |
| unomi | Incarnation: magic | 23:51 |
| Compiling | Incarnation: they have the execute bit set | 23:51 |
| Incarnation | unomi: I don't believe in magic | 23:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Incarnation, now you got it, eeerh used to know the answer to that question, sorry can't answer you without opening a browser | 23:52 |
| CrimsonIdol | but it is | 23:52 |
| CrimsonIdol | mime-types | 23:52 |
| Incarnation | Compiling: the execute bit? Can you show me how to view it? | 23:52 |
| CrimsonIdol | ls -l | 23:52 |
| Compiling | Incarnation: run ls -l | 23:53 |
| Compiling | look on the left side | 23:53 |
| unomi | Incarnation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_format#Magic_number | 23:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Incarnation, ls -l /usr/bin/vuze it should have something like rwx (read, write, execute) | 23:53 |
| unomi | Incarnation: you should, its all around you | 23:53 |
| Compiling | If you want to make it executable do chmod +x filename | 23:53 |
| Marioux | hi there | 23:54 |
| rautamiekka | Incarnation: If I'm not wrong, Linux-compiled programs have execution-indicating info in the very beginning of the file in addition to execution bit. Not sure, but I think that's how it is. | 23:54 |
| Marioux | I wanna know how to make to grub to recognize all my OS installed? | 23:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Compiling, is there any difference from exciting a file using chmod compared to chown? | 23:55 |
| Incarnation | I'm just trying to figure out exactly how this system works, it's very complicated | 23:55 |
| === MK-BB is now known as MK|BNC | ||
| Incarnation | I can't really wrap my head around it | 23:55 |
| Incarnation | I mean I could but it would just take a lot of time | 23:55 |
| CrimsonIdol | it's called permissions | 23:55 |
| belkinsa | Er, I need help with wireless internet on Ubuntu 10.04. I really to re-post this so here's the link to the forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1523503 | 23:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Incarnation, one step at a time even rome wasn't built in one day it takes time | 23:55 |
| rautamiekka | Pirate_Hunter: CHOWN changes the owner of the file where CHMOD changes the handling permissions (Read, Write, Execute) | 23:55 |
| Incarnation | and I'd probably grow really old and nearly dead by the time I'd be finished and the payoff wouldn't be worth it... | 23:56 |
| CrimsonIdol | permissions are the number 1 error for linux newbies | 23:56 |
| rautamiekka | CrimsonIdol: Too right. | 23:56 |
| CrimsonIdol | me included! :) | 23:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rautamiekka, you're right that was a stupid question and I should've realised | 23:56 |
| erkan^ | which option is the best: POP or IMAP for Gmail in Evolution? | 23:56 |
| belkinsa | IMAP. | 23:57 |
| rautamiekka | Pirate_Hunter: It was too obvious to realize without either asking or reading. I had to read about it back in time. | 23:57 |
| Compiling | Pirate_Hunter: chown changes the file ownership (owner and group ownership) | 23:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | erkan^, depends on you most prefer imap because your files still remain on the server | 23:57 |
| Compiling | Pirate_Hunter: chmod changes access permissions for the owner,group,and everyone else that doesnt fit into the first 2 categories | 23:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rautamiekka, Compiling, yeah but the problem I use it often and I forgot that I use numbers for chmod so I have no clue what that question was about | 23:58 |
| erkan^ | ok | 23:58 |
| CrimsonIdol | not error but cause of frustrations. ;) | 23:58 |
