| Pici | serrano: join #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 00:01 |
| duffydack | Zelozelos, with my sys, it gets near max before swap is used, which is how I think it should be used. | 00:01 |
| dugger5688 | I don't think mine has used swap yet. | 00:02 |
| waiting | is there a way to return the sources.list file to default. mine has apparently become corrupt | 00:02 |
| Zelozelos | duffydack, do u use any memory intensive programs such as a rendering program, or blender w an object w over a million polys? | 00:02 |
| duffydack | Zelozelos, its 60 by default, for some reason when the actual swap page "recommends" 10 | 00:02 |

| LorgonJortle | Kernel | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | causingfire: Could you rephrase the question? | 00:04 |
| causingfire | how could I remove nvidia drivers? | 00:05 |
| Zelozelos | ty for the info duffydack im gonna do a reboot, then reset my swappyness | 00:05 |
| cablop | i like how 10.04 looks, but i think they implemented too many and bloated things and that jkust make extremely complicated to migrate from 8.04 to it | 00:05 |
| dugger5688 | Like what? | 00:06 |
| soreau | cablop: running inside a vm, you might as well not even use compiz | 00:06 |

| monokrome | hey | 00:10 |
| monokrome | Is it possible to install 32 bit Python on a 64 bit Ubuntu system? | 00:10 |
| freezway | idk | 00:10 |
| causingfire | Anyone know how to remove nvidia drivers | 00:10 |
| EgyParadox | idk as well. | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | causingfire: use the package manager. if you installed them via the package manager.. | 00:11 |
| monokrome | I know there's something like: dpkg install --ignore-architecture | 00:11 |
| monokrome | but I think that'll overwrite my already existing code | 00:11 |
| monokrome | er... already existing installation | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | monokrome: why do you need 32bit python? | 00:11 |
| cablop | monokrome, i just heard the old way | 00:12 |
| freezway | hey, i'll be play some 3d games, and it'll be fine for a while, then, randomly my fps will drop by 1/2 or more and stay like that until i reboot | 00:12 |
| cablop | monokrome just install a fakeroot or chroot into a 32bits subsystem | 00:12 |
| monokrome | Dr_Willis: In order to link the 32bit python DLL to a project that I'm working on that has to be compiled as 32bit | 00:12 |
| cablop | monokrome: i never did by myselgf, but a friend used that technique too run 32bits java | 00:13 |
| causingfire | Dr_Willis: I never tried that I was trying to go through the terminal... | 00:13 |
| Zelozelos | ok im trying to follow these directions, but i dont see the syscpl1.conf ? | 00:13 |
| polterge|St | what I am wanting is for someone to look at their startup apps who has a default config in ubuntu so that I can find out if update-notifier needs to be a startup app in a default ubuntu setup | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | causingfire: 'sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME' and i dont know the name | 00:13 |
| monokrome | cablop: That technique works, but it's redundant and might as well just reinstall 32bit Ubuntu | 00:13 |
| hoosiers83 | tried in kubuntu, didnt get an answer. can i save window size and positions in kde? firefox wont start maximized, kde itself remembers maximized but not positions (if not maximized of course) | 00:13 |
| cablop | monokrome: or create a vm inside your 64bits distro, it also will be ok for you to test the final product | 00:13 |
| waiting | bsatid_raZor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/461787/ | 00:13 |
| monokrome | My 64bit distro is already a VM | 00:13 |
| dugger5688 | So make another VM that's 32 | 00:14 |
| monokrome | dugger5688: That's what I just said | 00:14 |
| Zelozelos | duffydack, any idea why i dont see the sysct1.conf file? | 00:14 |
| monokrome | I just was making sure there wasn't a simple way to get it working here before I jumped into backing up my code/libraries/etc | 00:15 |

| duffydack | Zelozelos, like trism says sudo pico /etc/sysctl.conf | 00:16 |
| cablop | just to move the mouse inside the VM raises the CPU usage to 45~65!! | 00:16 |

| abuayyoub | hello, does anyone know how I can open a .BOK ebook file? | 00:17 |
| cablop | a server or a vm kernel... dunno | 00:17 |
| Zelozelos | duffydack, trism there is no vm.swappiness found in that file? | 00:18 |
| dugger5688 | polterge|St: yes it is, but I always disable it | 00:18 |
| cablop | any recomendation about what to strip out from a ubuntu install to make it lighter? | 00:18 |
| polterge|St | that is what I wanted to know | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | polterge|St: you could make a new user and see what the new users default startup apps are. | 00:18 |
| polterge|St | well what I want to know are a few things .... | 00:18 |
| polterge|St | A) is it in the startup | 00:18 |
| hoosiers83 | how can i get kde to remember window size and position? no solution in kubuntu | 00:18 |
| polterge|St | B) which user uses gksu to run it by default | 00:18 |
| g[r]eek | is it possible to have multiple monitors on one pc, with each monitor having its own workspace and its own resolution? | 00:18 |
| polterge|St | likely root ? | 00:18 |
| hoosiers83 | er i mean #kubuntu | 00:19 |
| polterge|St | a C) once it is ran at startup does it stay running as a daemon for anytime sources are updated ? | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | g[r]eek: its possible. | 00:19 |
| waiting | no one belived my problem before, but now someone has found out what's wrong on my computer. i need to return my repositories to default. help please. | 00:19 |
| cablop | polterge|St: as far as i know gksu is the graphic equivalent to su | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | g[r]eek: depens a little on what you mean by 'workspace' | 00:19 |
| polterge|St | cablop, this is what I was thinking also | 00:19 |
| polterge|St | like su'ing to root and doing this | 00:19 |

| bastid_raZor | waiting: http://pastebin.com/0bbpSpFC replace your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the text in this pastebin | 00:20 |
| polterge|St | does update-manager run as a daemon ? | 00:20 |

| Guest82705 | Hello I just installed Lucid and I'm not able to play .mp4 videos, I already tried with vlc, smplayer, and already installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, I really do not know what else to do, any ideas? | 00:20 |
| cablop | polterge|St: ypu can also use the console and launch things this way sudo -b gedit anytrhing, for example | 00:20 |
| g[r]eek | Dr_Willis, i'm referring to the multiple "desktops", as in, if i right-click on this window's title bar i get "move to workspace right" etc | 00:20 |
| cablop | how can i manage services now? | 00:20 |
| dugger5688 | waiting: I also thing the original sources.list is backed up at /etc/apt/sources.list.save | 00:21 |
| Blue1 | Guest82705: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras maybe? | 00:21 |
| cablop | the service manager is not here in 10.04 and the way to manage them changed a lot | 00:21 |
| Zelozelos | trism, i assume with out the # right? so just add vm.swappiness=10 to the bottom of it? | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | g[r]eek: that would bne more window manager/desktop feature. ive never seen it done that way. I think theres one 'window manager' out there that sort of has that feature. | 00:21 |
| g[r]eek | So instead of my one screen flipping between workspace one and two, i'd like two screens, so that when i switch to workspace two, my keyboard / mouse are focused on another screen | 00:21 |
| Guest82705 | Blue1, already did that also | 00:21 |
| trism | Zelozelos: yes, that would do it | 00:21 |
| Zelozelos | awsome ty trism, duffydack | 00:21 |
| g[r]eek | Dr_Willis, ok that answers my question. I was basically wondering if Ubuntu could do this out-of-the-box | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | g[r]eek: you can have 2 seperate X sessions so the 2nd montior always stays the same | 00:21 |
| Blue1 | Guest82705: sorry that worked for me. | 00:21 |
| polterge|St | here is why I am asking these things I found a command to make update-manager not autolaunch and pop up but I want to run update-manager in my xfce notification tray in sidux any time my sources are updated so I know to go to terminal and use aptitude and dist-upgrade. In this area ubuntu and sidux are similar enough that what works on ubuntu likely would work on sidux / sid | 00:21 |
| Fulgurator | Hello everyone ! | 00:21 |
| cablop | no way to manage services now? i want to disable too many of them, but can't | 00:21 |
| waiting | do i get to sources.list from the GUI or from the command-line terminal. i just need to open the file so i can copy that text | 00:22 |
| g[r]eek | Dr_Willis, I don't want to bug you, so could you point me to a good article on X-sessions? I'm a relative newbie but I can figure it out | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: rename file in /etc/init if its a upstart service | 00:22 |
| Fulgurator | I have a problem w/ my homemade mail server but i can't locate what's is going wrong | 00:22 |
| polterge|St | update notifier works because I tested it earlier but I just want to know if I run it as a startup app if it will automatically update sources and check for updates | 00:22 |
| bhalash | polterge: Why not just run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once a week? | 00:22 |
| bastid_raZor | waiting: in a termainl type this: gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:22 |
| maco | cablop: the old way of removing symlinks in /etc/rc2.d/ still exists | 00:22 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis: and how to know what service is what? | 00:22 |
| polterge|St | bhalash, because aptitude is a bit more automated | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | g[r]eek: for nvidia - the nvidia-settings tool has a config/check box to ebnable the 'seperate x sessions' feature. Ive never used it.. never saw a need for it. | 00:22 |
| waiting | k | 00:22 |
| polterge|St | it has flags like --with-recommends | 00:22 |
| polterge|St | or full-resolver | 00:22 |
| maco | cablop: a simple tool to handle it is being made as a google summer of code project for inclusion in 10.10.\ | 00:22 |
| polterge|St | it can solve issues with dist-upgrades that apt-get cannot | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: why do you want to disable services when you dont know what they are? | 00:23 |
| bhalash | Ah | 00:23 |
| polterge|St | it is simply more automated | 00:23 |

| g[r]eek | Dr_Willis, thanks for the help | 00:23 |
| waiting | what did "gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list" do? | 00:24 |

| polterge|St | not a bad thing but I just prefer aptitude | 00:24 |

| Dr_Willis | denis: use the properties gui.. the context menu method has issues it seems | 00:33 |
| WebWalker3D | I have ubuntu server running ebox, and I'm looking for a method of monitoring / logging instant message traffic... I've found less than nothing on this so far... thoughts? | 00:33 |
| denis | Dr_Willis: thanks, that helped! | 00:34 |
| polterge|St | bastid_raZor, ok this is what I wanted to know | 00:34 |
| Krenari | how to install java runtime ? | 00:34 |
| waiting | http://paste.ubuntu.com/461793/ | 00:35 |
| polterge|St | or would I just add my user to sudoers and no password for running update-notifier ? | 00:35 |
| EgyParadox | Krenari: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:35 |
| cablop | damn, too many things changed from 8.04... why they do a LTS that you can't upgrade to a new LTS with this insame amount of pain??? | 00:35 |
| polterge|St | that way I can put "sudo update-notifier" in my startup | 00:35 |
| cablop | whi use now instead of xorg.conf? | 00:35 |
| indrora | I'm trying to set up a Jabber server with MUC and so far I've gotten nothing. I'm running from a fresh ubuntu-server install and I did an aptitude install jabberd2 and I cant connect... c2s seems to be starting then exiting. | 00:35 |
| polterge|St | and it would just run at startup without problems | 00:36 |
| ostap | hi 2 all!! Where i can find any info about linux on Glofiish X800 PDA? | 00:36 |
| cablop | what is the replacement of xorg.conf? | 00:36 |
| === barb is now known as _2 | ||
| waiting | i saved sources.list.save as (and to replace) sources.list | 00:36 |
| indrora | cablop: X does some autoconfig, but xorg.conf really is the only way it works. | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: i have several ssytems with no xorg.conf needed. | 00:37 |
| cablop | then... i think i need to create a xorg.conf file and then edit it... right? | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: what are you needing to configure in it? | 00:37 |
| cablop | i need to force the screen resolution, it is running inside a virtual machine so screen has no real size | 00:37 |
| _2 | no sound here | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: in virtualbox ? or vmware? or what? | 00:37 |
| cablop | i need to force it to 1024x768 | 00:37 |
| cablop | virtualbox | 00:37 |
| indrora | cablop: If its VirtualBox, then just install the Virtual Machine Additions | 00:38 |
| zacktu | i'm preparing a simple presentation on dual boot, so i'm doing things i've never done b4 -- had a dual boot of vista & ubuntu -- then removed the ubuntu partition -- so now i can't boot windows -- how do i get windows boot restored? | 00:38 |
| cablop | it detected the vm, and using a weird 1024x737 resolution :S | 00:38 |
| indrora | resize the window :) | 00:38 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis: it has the vbox additions, but it's setting a weird resolution | 00:38 |
| indrora | cablop: resize the window. | 00:38 |
| Yocraig | Is there a way to download .deb packages that are listed in Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu on a Mac running OSX and then transfer them to the same machine running unbuntu 10.4 and then install it? Does this question make sense? | 00:39 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis: it also runs compiz, but see my card as unknown andmonitor as unknown | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: ive noticed with the additions (i think) i was able to resize the desktop/window and have the virtual desktop/system also resize.. i think.. been a while since i last tried that | 00:39 |
| === mario12_ is now known as mario12 | ||
| Dr_Willis | compiz in virtualbox? i dont think thats going to work very well | 00:39 |
| indrora | Yocraig: you can download the packages from the apt repos directly. | 00:39 |
| _2 | alsamixer shows all ok, but no sounds | 00:39 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: its working fine in vbox nonfree | 00:39 |
| indrora | Yocraig: just use dpkg -i (packagename) | 00:40 |
| BigC | compic will work in virtual box, but you have to have a good video card | 00:40 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: thats interesting. whats the host machines video card anyway? | 00:40 |
| cablop | DR_Willis, yes i can drag and resize the window size, but i got used to make that size a fixed one, so i don't have weird behavior when moving from shell to graphics | 00:40 |
| indrora | Does Anyone know how to make jabberd2 work? I've googled my heart out but i cant for the life of me get c2s to start and it just drops connections! | 00:40 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: paravirtualisation | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | polterge|St: i have update-notifier running the background already. | 00:40 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: vbox nonfree can use that on vga | 00:40 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: opengl is running very fine with vbox | 00:41 |
| polterge|St | alright | 00:41 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis, yes it's working well enough i just have a few effects | 00:41 |
| bastid_raZor | polterge|St: it is started by being in Startup Programs. it was put there automatically | 00:41 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis, mouse movement is eating more CPU than compiz on it... lol | 00:41 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: also running opengl games with vbox is great | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to just use vbox these days to test out Live cd ISo's :) | 00:42 |
| cablop | hehe | 00:42 |
| cablop | i'm using that to emulate a smalllinux server for my svns mostly | 00:42 |
| waiting | i tried to download the file for sources.list from that website and got this while downloading http://paste.ubuntu.com/461794/ | 00:42 |
| Yocraig | ok, the problem is my internet connection recently switched to wi-fi. This works fine when I boot the machine under MacOSX but wi-fi doesnt work under Ubuntu because i never installed the hardware drivers to make wi-fi work....at the time I didnt need them. Now I do. | 00:42 |
| iceroot | Dr_Willis: have a look at the new 3d features, its very nice | 00:42 |
| picard1421 | im looking for an OS that just runs music... very light.. i will be on a 700 Mhz processor.. and all it does is run music... | 00:42 |
| cablop | i know i can do that on my windows, but really i don't want to get used to do apache, mysql and svn on windows | 00:43 |
| iceroot | picard1421: xubuntu | 00:43 |
| picard1421 | no videos.. no thing just music.. wav, flac, that sort of thing.. no other function.. no itnernet.. nothing ... just a music player.. | 00:43 |
| Krenari | i cant install java in this way " sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre " | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: normally people 'play' music. not run it. :) | 00:43 |
| cablop | i plan to buy a new pc and move my development one to full linux :P | 00:43 |
| iceroot | !partner | Krenari | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Krenari: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 00:43 |
| picard1421 | iceroot: xubuntu will run fine on a 700 mhz processor.. all i need is the music part? | 00:43 |
| iceroot | picard1421: i am running ubuntu on 630mhz | 00:43 |
| cablop | picard1421: i think you can try xmm2 | 00:43 |
| picard1421 | iceroot: xubuntu... and it runs fine.. no hickups? im literally just playing music | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: look into some of the Mini disrtos out there. like lubuntu, or roll your own with tiny core linux.. Unless you want a Console Only interface. | 00:44 |
| iceroot | picard1421: but maybe you want kubuntu 8.04 lts with kde 3.5 and amarok 1 | 00:44 |
| cablop | i never used it but heard it was intended to be music server or sth like that | 00:44 |
| picard1421 | no i just want an easy to use interface.. it will be a touch based music player.. no keyboard etc.. | 00:44 |
| Docteh | meh | 00:44 |
| iceroot | picard1421: i guess there is no better player then amarok 1 | 00:44 |
| picard1421 | i have a touchscreen .. | 00:44 |
| cablop | touchbased? | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: getting the touch screen working may be the hardest part. | 00:44 |
| cablop | mmm maybe xubuntu with amarok would be good enough | 00:44 |
| bhalash | iceroot: I've been using my iPod to control MPD :) | 00:44 |
| cablop | if not try banshee or try | 00:44 |
| cablop | mmm let me remember the name | 00:44 |
| picard1421 | is there something lighter.. it can literally be NO os.. | 00:45 |
| picard1421 | just bootup into music player etc.. | 00:45 |
| kop_ | picard1421, laptop touchscreen ? | 00:45 |
| picard1421 | just a GUI music player | 00:45 |
| iceroot | picard1421: xubuntu or lubuntu | 00:45 |
| cablop | i forgot the name, it's a xmms clone, but well done :P | 00:45 |
| puff | Hi... so, I downlaoded and burned the live CD, it didn't want to boot on my laptop (t43p). It did boot and pass media check on another machine, so I know the CD is good. | 00:45 |
| Fire | guys, try Minitunes :D | 00:45 |
| picard1421 | no ... its a physical touchscreen | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: lighter then lubuntu would be some roll your own minial install and a lot of work. | 00:45 |
| picard1421 | whats the difference between xubuntu and lubuntu | 00:45 |
| Docteh | picard1421: install something and then fiddle with gdm or w/e | 00:45 |
| iceroot | picard1421: and as i said, i am running ubuntu n 630mhz fine | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: lxde vs xfce | 00:45 |
| iceroot | picard1421: lubuntu is lighter then xubuntu but both can run music-player fine | 00:45 |
| puff | I remembered having a simialr problem, a couple years ago, wtih this laptop (t43p) so I did what I did then - downloaded the altnerate CD. Booted fine. However, my purpose from the start was to boot into the live CD and use gparted to repartition. Is this possible with the alternate CD? | 00:46 |
| cablop | well, you can also install a ubuntu netbook edition on top and use it picard1421 | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: i have seen a few 'media player' disrtos out there. geexbox is one. theres others.. not all are ubuntu based however. | 00:46 |

| Krenari | sorry for disconnect | 00:46 |
| yj_ | djdqiqdalmalxx,zzxsd | 00:46 |
| picard1421 | hmm.. i get what you are saying.. its media player OS.. that might be kind of cool also... thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it! | 00:46 |
| Krenari | can anyone tell me about Java runtime environment | 00:46 |
| puff | Krenari: What abou tit? | 00:47 |
| Docteh | Krenari: what about it? | 00:47 |
| EgyParadox | !Java | 00:47 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 00:47 |
| iceroot | Krenari: enable the partner-repo (i already gave you the factoid) ad install jre | 00:47 |
| [thor] | yj_: fascinating, tell me more! | 00:47 |
| cablop | picard1421: that's why i told you to try ubuntu network edition, just few items enough for you | 00:47 |
| puff | Anybody know if I can do gparted repartitioning wtih the alternate CD? | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: alt cd dosent have a gui. | 00:47 |
| picard1421 | why ubuntu network edition? | 00:48 |
| cablop | picard1421: or, maybe think in another OS, maybe a gogle android will suit you more, dunno | 00:48 |
| dugger5688 | puff: no gparted, but you can probably use parted. | 00:48 |
| cablop | picard1421: cause ubuntu netbook edition has less GUI controls and i think it has a media player inside | 00:48 |
| iceroot | cablop: is it build for x86 already as a distri? | 00:48 |
| puff | Hm... I need to massage my partitions, currently laid out as 5GB /, 10 GB /home, 30 GB /bulkdata and 4GB /swap (in that order ont he disk, e.g. swap is at the end). | 00:48 |
| cablop | you can download the ubuntu network edition from the ubuntu website now | 00:49 |
| puff | I'd really, really like to avoid having to reload everything to /home and /swap, so I want to resize instead of just reinstalling from scratch. | 00:49 |
| puff | How hairy is this going to be with parted? | 00:49 |
| Flannel | puff: What are you hoping to do as far as massaging is concerned? | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: resize what exactly? You want to enlarge /home ? | 00:49 |
| cablop | puff the problem is parted could change your partitions uuids and then you need to retrieve them and manually fix the fstab | 00:49 |
| cablop | puff also take care at configuring your grub with the new uuids | 00:50 |
| polterge|St | brb | 00:50 |
| puff | I want to enlarge root partition (/) because 5GB is apparently not enough. | 00:50 |
| cablop | or you wont boot, and cause the grub2 'smartly' saves things in one of the system partitions.... | 00:50 |
| puff | I'm actually planning to reinstall to root, since this laptop is on edgy. | 00:51 |
| puff | And LTS jist iterated. | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: yep. 5gb is a little tight. BUT you could perhaps move some dirs in / to be on /bulkdata and free up some space on the actual / | 00:51 |
| Yocraig | 10.4 is know as...whaty-what<----whats the nickname please? | 00:51 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: Nope, alreqady did all that. | 00:51 |
| Flannel | Yocraig: Lucid Lynx | 00:51 |
| cablop | Yocraig: Lucid Lynx | 00:51 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: And I'm still barely scraping by :-( | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant imageine having a hard drive that tiny any more. :) | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | even my /boot/ partition is a few GB these days. | 00:52 |
| Docteh | hah what for | 00:52 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: Yeah, it's the last of the original thinkpads, and they scream if you don't boot it iwth exactly the right hard drive model. | 00:52 |
| cablop | GBS!!!!!? | 00:52 |
| cablop | for a boot? you only need 200 MB or less | 00:52 |
| Yocraig | thank you | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Docteh: i set up grub2 to boot some 'ubuntu.iso' files from /boot/ as a qway to recover/reinstall with no extra media needed | 00:52 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: I even uninstalled the JDK package (because I've been doing java forever and I'm used to rollnig my own). | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: it depends on your needs. | 00:52 |
| cablop | i see | 00:52 |
| cablop | an interesting boot... | 00:53 |
| puff | Anyway, ugh... so, should I bother trying, or just resign myself to reinstallingand restoring from a bakcup? | 00:53 |
| juboba | hey | 00:53 |
| cablop | well i barely believe i fell comfortable with grub2 | 00:53 |
| juboba | where do I have to go to get some help with sockets? | 00:53 |
| cablop | *feel | 00:53 |
| puff | I have an up-to-date backup, files rsynced to a terabyte USB drive. | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: you could resize home to how you want.. then reinstaall to the new / but you alw3ays want to have backups | 00:53 |
| jda2000 | juboba, What's the problem? | 00:54 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: Well,that's my goal... resize root, then reinstall to root, leave home and bulk untouched. | 00:54 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: Er, untouched except for resizing them to free up space for root. | 00:54 |
| hasenj | question: my wireless sorta works: I see my router in the list, but it never "connects", keeps asking for the password again and again | 00:54 |
| waiting | okay i've finally done everything i've been told to do so far. but i'm getting this message now when i try to sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/461799 | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: if you just resize. i dont think the uuid's will change. But you may want to write down what UUID's each filesystgem is befor and after you resize. | 00:54 |
| cablop | puff i'll suggest you to get a grub1 bootloader for emergency | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: you can change the uuid's if you wanted. :) | 00:55 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: Okay, I'm getting the feeling that a) this is something I should do when I have plenty of free time and b) maye I should just bite the bullet and reload from backup. | 00:55 |
| cablop | Dr_Willis i faced that in the past and just resizing changed those uuids | 00:55 |
| puff | Dr_Willis: filesystgem? | 00:55 |
| puff | cablop: Ihave a supergrubtdisk around here somewhere. | 00:55 |
| cablop | then i just wrote the /dev/sdx equivalents on grub and fstab | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall the command 'tune2fs' can change teh UUID's to whatever you want. | 00:55 |
| cablop | nice command | 00:55 |
| waiting | hello? | 00:55 |
| cablop | :) | 00:56 |
| cablop | brb | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: ive heard it both ways. Ive never really resized much. :) i got /home/ on its own 2TB hd. :) | 00:56 |
| puff | Bleah... got a couple pretty girls waiting for me, guess I'll schedule this for later. | 00:56 |
| lhavelund | I appear to have messed up some of the permissions of a couple of my home directories, which is now breaking my setup ~/.ssh/authorized_keys setup.

| cablop | lol! | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | puff: this is moar impormnatnt then females! :) | 00:56 |
| puff | Thanks for the advice, see you in a day or two when I'm back to having plenty of free time :-). | 00:56 |
| cablop | puff, i'll just graban external disk and do all from scratch again :P | 00:57 |

| cablop | how to disable services the old way that is renaming them? | 01:07 |
| Flannel | waiting: That's the same. See how the right side gets cut off mid commmand at the bottom? Lets do this instead, `ps aux > ~/running.txt` and then open ~/running.txt and copy/paste it. | 01:07 |
| geirha | waiting: or ps aux | pastebinit if you have pastebinit installed | 01:08 |

| [thor] | well blow me down | 01:09 |
| _jesse_ | [thor]: that's how I reacted too :) | 01:09 |
| geirha | !pastebinit | 01:10 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 01:10 |

| Flannel | waiting: It didn't give any output, but what it did was create a text file called running.txt in your homedir, open that file and then copy/paste the contents of it | 01:11 |

| waiting | no | 01:11 |

| cablop | i think bot is not working | 01:20 |
| ChogyDan | cablop: no, its working, it is just that bastid_raZor beat me to it :) | 01:21 |

| cablop | thinking if what Ben64 said was easier | 01:22 |
| causingfire | I've tried that and it says E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 01:22 |

| Ben64 | cablop: nah its cool | 01:23 |
| ariqz | _jesse_: I'm well aware of what windows calls my modem. However, linux and it's drivers are not worried about that. It's a gateway 6000905 , but to linux, it's whatever silly chipset is on the card, and that's not found in windows. Thankyou for being so heplful. | 01:23 |

| BluesKaj | causingfire, sudo fuser -vki -TERM /var/lib/dpkg/lock , then, sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:23 |
| cablop | in the otrher hand, my experiences with xfce4 were bad in the past, and i think gnome is the most usable thing... and KDE... well, KDE is a open software made by a closed community :P | 01:23 |

| cablop | so hard to move something from kde to another place | 01:25 |

| waiting | the tutorial/walkthru i was doing had to do with getting WEP keys. I'm using 10.0.4 | 01:26 |

| maco | cablop: nokia, who owns qt, licenses it such that only foss can use it for free while proprietary apps have to charge for it. an example of a proprietary app (because really, most foss is on linux...) using qt (just like kde) is skype | 01:27 |

| Flannel | waiting: If you've already got somethign working, then don't worry about it. | 01:30 |
| maco | cablop: i suspect the simple fact that we linux users are more likely to care about beta testing makes it a lot harder to get things working right on windows... cross platform FOSS tends to fair worst on windows :-/ (except firefox, because they do special compiles) | 01:30 |
| maco | cablop: i dont know what you mean by "a kde core" | 01:30 |
| causingfire | BluesKaj: ok did that and no other text came up | 01:30 |
| cablop | you barely can use them in simple small or resource demanding devices expect if tou use linux on them | 01:30 |
| maco | cablop: you need kdelibs and libqt, just like on gnome you need libgnome and libgtk2 | 01:30 |
| cablop | the first time i ried to install amarok on windows i needed to install a lot of things to be able to run it | 01:30 |
| cablop | i feel like emulating it | 01:31 |
| ubu_ | help what is the problem "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1FFD34C9EB13C954" | 01:31 |

| cablop | in contrast when i wanted to install gnumeric i just installed it | 01:31 |
| BluesKaj | causingfire, so try to install the app now | 01:31 |
| maco | cablop: by "make all the core KDE SC work" i mean the stuff thats in the main svn repo, not extragear | 01:31 |
| cablop | without asking me to install anything from gnome | 01:31 |
| bastid_raZor | Flannel: i gave him my sources.list .. i have a copy of the default list saved. | 01:31 |
| maco | cablop: you didnt have to install gtk manually? | 01:31 |
| Flannel | waiting: After updating, `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` would work | 01:31 |
| maciej11 | can i add videos to my iphone in ubuntu 10.04? | 01:31 |
| cablop | werll, i expect to install just the base qt | 01:31 |
| maco | cablop: because to get the gimp going on windows, you need to install gtk manually first. thats dependency resolution. lack of repos / package management with dependency resolution is a windows failing | 01:31 |
| waiting | thanks | 01:32 |
| causingfire | BluesKaj: E: Couldn't find package envyng-qt same error | 01:32 |
| cablop | well maco... i see that lack of repos as an advantage, not for me, but for real use of opensource in a business environment | 01:32 |

| dapeamel | hey guys when I trying to run monkey messenger I get this error --> http://pastebin.com/g41rLCeQ please check it.! | 01:33 |
| maco | cablop: how? as youve noted, lacking a package manager makes hunting down dependencies a pain in the rear | 01:33 |
| joegiampaoli | @ Oer: Thing is that I've had this problem for a while now (years) and decided to test IRC again, really miss it. But the problem started by completely loosing my network, but could still see people typing and would not see me, and I would fire up firefox and couldn't get any website, then connect to router's page and same, dead, but IRC was still active, I would have to reforce router to restart, and this issue happened to me like hundreds of times, on | 01:33 |
| joegiampaoli | ly with IRC, and almost any IRC client. So I'm testing now to see and understand what could be.... | 01:33 |
| maco | cablop: its classic windows DLL Hell | 01:33 |

| cablop | i think a better approach was to have stable repos you won't change in two years, not a single change, and build on top of them, not with the latest library available, just to ease updates | 01:45 |
| HardDisk | If I was your boss and noticed that you said i instead of I, you would be sent to detention. | 01:45 |
| Fougner | lol | 01:45 |
| cablop | well, Jordan_U that's good today... but not one year ago | 01:45 |
| causingfire_ | how do I uninstall the nvidia drivers that installed via Hardware Drivers when I can't see any thing that comes up? | 01:45 |
| Fougner | hmm, so why is that you can't install OO 3 in 8.04? | 01:45 |
| humanfly | super | 01:46 |
| cablop | cause a non-techie user can do that install | 01:46 |

| Gerwin | HardDisk: Now that's exactly what I'm looking for, need someone? :P | 01:46 |
| cablop | *can't | 01:46 |
| Fougner | cablop: then teach him/her? | 01:46 |
| cablop | anyway, i just tell you one of the problems | 01:46 |
| Fougner | cablop: what's the difference for XP? | 01:46 |
| cablop | they son't want to be taught | 01:46 |
| ariqz | seriously, why do I have to go through so much BS to get a modem working? Every single modem I've ever owned, I have to download all sorts of nonsense, compile drivers, etc. What's even more annoying this time is that this modem used to be supported, and for some inane reason, support has been taken out | 01:46 |
| Fougner | cablop: then ubuntu is not for them, yet :) | 01:47 |
| cablop | in xp the user just call me and ask what to do, i can say him/her the steps with no need to see any window | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | cablop: To be fair, most non technical users don't care if they're running the latest version of Open Office :) | 01:47 |
| cablop | in ubuntu i just say, well, enter the shell and, and they became scared | 01:47 |
| humanfly | is envyng in the lucid repo if so which one ? i've updated and switched to the main ubuntu server but it won't find envyng-core | 01:47 |
| Fougner | cablop: with linux, you just SSH in and install it, the user has to do... nothing | 01:47 |
| cablop | well, back in those days that was an issue | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | cablop: You can add PPAs completely via the GUI | 01:47 |

| windmill | Jordan_U, I'm starting to get a slightly sick feeling | 02:37 |
| Dmole | windmill: windows sometimes keeps files on partitions to use for swap, if you removed one in order to install ubuntu you might get a problem like that | 02:37 |

| dsnyders | userone, perhaps you need to seek a pdf related channel rather than a general purpose ubuntu channel. | 03:31 |
| prince_jammys | !firewall | padhu | 03:31 |
| ubottu | padhu: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 03:31 |
| linoge | It made me feel pathriotic, and i'm from venezuela lol | 03:32 |
| userone | everyone on this channel is trying to help everyone else in their own spare time and without getting paid. there are many people from many different races that are good at computing. there just doesnt seem to be anyone online who can help me at the moment. if I upset anyone, thats wasnt my intention. i apologise unreservedly. | 03:32 |
| prince_jammys | ok, ok. | 03:32 |

| gvsa123 | LinuxPerplexed: i meant, it wants to connect to the internet when i go to hardware drivers.. and the wireless isn't enabled | 03:44 |

| nibblyn | Hi! Seems like network manager applet is not working here while the process is running. Nothing pops up in the notification area. If new connections are added manually they disappear instantly. The connection set using "alternate" install actually works fine. Any ideas? | 03:59 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: Suggestion, have you tried installing the linux drivers? | 04:01 |
| Hogrin | I was hoping it would auto detect, but if not autodetecting, I expected it not to crash. | 04:02 |
| Hogrin | Eddie25: so no, i haven't. | 04:02 |
| Hogrin | Eddie25: Is it normal for ubuntu to fail to boot if it detects hardware it has no drivers for? | 04:02 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: It may have failed duringthe auto-detection | 04:02 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: No, it's not, but anything is possible I guess. | 04:03 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: is that you believe to be the culprit? | 04:03 |
| Hogrin | Eddie25: yeah, everything works, until I add that card. | 04:03 |

And now i cant boot into either of my OSes. basically, how can i fix this mess? | 04:04 |

| valonn | Jordan_U: it was the second time i installed it, i got something about it was either burned too fast or defective or the disk was defective | 04:06 |
| Guest72344 | hello all | 04:06 |
| phil_ | I've got a dependency error that says I need python (<< 2.6) can somebody tell me what that means? | 04:06 |
| Guest72344 | am a newbie | 04:07 |
| maco | phil_: it means your software wont run. ubuntu 10.04 uses python 2.6 | 04:07 |
| Guest72344 | need a lil help here | 04:07 |
| maco | phil_: if you use 9.10 itll run | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | valonn: That's interesting, did you try running the integrity check in the LiveCD boot men?u (press any key early in boot to get the menu). | 04:07 |
| phil_ | I installed python 2.4 | 04:07 |
| phil_ | Can't I just install the depedency it needs maco | 04:07 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: Don't worry about the acx kernel. It's an old version of Ubuntu and it's referring to a conflict with that old OS | 04:07 |
| maco | phil_: youd python 2.4 will work, but you need to point the program at the right version of python now | 04:08 |
| valonn | Jordan_U: dont think i did, dont think i even got a chance both isntances that i burned the disc i got an error saying it recovered and that it would load up the desktop environment because isntall failed | 04:08 |
| maco | phil_: you can have more than 1 version of python installed at once | 04:08 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: Apparently, it can work with ndiswrapper. As long as you install it through ndiswrapper, it should work properly. | 04:08 |
| phil_ | maco: I have 2.4 and 2.6 install RIGHT now and I'm getting that error | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | valonn: Please try running that check. | 04:08 |

| nibblyn | nm-tool reports eth0 unmanaged... well I need that manged by the network manager applet... how can I do that? | 04:08 |
| maco | phil_: because 2.6 is default. you need to tell it to use 2.4 | 04:08 |
| phil_ | maco: Oh, how do I do that | 04:09 |
| phil_ | maco: I just download 2.4 from the older repositories | 04:09 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Zyxel_ZyAir_G-302v2 | 04:09 |
| valonn | Jordan_U: then what? if i know its broken theres nothing i can do rofl, cant get into win7 to burn a new disc | 04:09 |
| Eddie25 | Hogrin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | valonn: Even if the disk is broken it's proably good enough to get grub installed to a point where you can boot windows again (or you can create a Live USB from within the LiveCD) | 04:10 |
| maco | phil_: i think you need to run: PYTHONHOME=/path/to/your/new/python command | 04:11 |
| maco | phil_: so if its /usr/bin/python2.4 then | 04:11 |

| Adola | hey! If I wanted to delete the whole partition, is it: sudo rm -rf / ? | 04:49 |
| Adola | I need to delete EVERYTHING. | 04:49 |
| Adola | Ubuntu 10.04 | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | Adola: Use gparted and delete the whole partition, it's faster. And please don't paste that command in this channel, for any reason, again. | 04:49 |
| Adola | Jordan_U: Ok, sorry about that, but I need it without gparted, and with terminal. | 04:50 |
| Odd-rationale | Adola: use fdisk | 04:50 |
| Adola | Odd-rationale: How? | 04:50 |
| Odd-rationale | Adola: but the partition needs to be unmounted | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | Adola: Find the partition and "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdXY". But be *very* carefull to choose the right partition, for obvious reasons. | 04:51 |
| Adola | Odd-rationale: Ok, in short, I need to nuke my ahrddrive. Please don't ask why...But I need to. it's my HDD. | 04:51 |

| TonyTone17 | Odd-rationale: thanks! | 04:52 |
| Odd-rationale | TonyTone17: np | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Adola: It can either be done in about 3 seconds or a few hours, depending on whether the data is something like credit card numbers than you need to be irrecoverable. | 04:53 |

| Adola | phil_: Is that default with ubuntu 9.10? | 04:54 |
| Adola | (Sorry, I said 10.04, I meant 9.10) | 04:54 |

| Adola | Because that'd be cool. | 04:54 |

| Jordan_U | froggyman: You can use menu entry titles instead of numbers, that way things don't break when you get a new kernel and numbers change. | 05:00 |

However with Ubuntu personally I woudn't mess around removing pulseaudio without knowing for sure, that it is the cause of the sound problem. There is something else you can try, if you got enough space in your install, to find out if the problem is pulseaudio or not. | 05:27 |
| Slimp1 | r2d2: I've read that. It tells me to select options which don't exist, and click buttons which aren't there. | 05:28 |

| Slimp1 | MaRk, please see my messages to r2d2. | 05:30 |
| manoj | nope i was in 10.04 and the kernel just got updated after the upgrade | 05:30 |
| r2d2_ | <Slimp1> it looks like you must first make a network for the other user, then enable a gatway for it though your pc | 05:30 |
| sebsebseb | manoj: ok well your previous kernel/s are probably still installed, so you could boot from that and try | 05:30 |

It will take up quite a bit of space, but you could install Kubuntu and try that, doesn't use pulse audio by default :) 3. Maybe clean install and put 9.10 on or something. | 05:33 |

| sebsebseb | manoj: np | 05:34 |
| sebsebseb | manoj: maybe I wasn't clear about something, if you do install Kubuntu, you have both, and then choose the one you want from log in screen. Seems a little silly to install all of that, because of pulseaudio though, but whatever may work I guess? | 05:36 |

| robbmunson | stee1: you are always free to back up your current settings and do a fresh install with a 10.04 CD....then restore that backup. | 05:40 |

| xangua | giantpune: then right click to the clock, unmark 'block' and move it | 05:43 |
| MaRk-I | Slimp: what about eth1?? | 05:43 |
| giantpune | ahhh. ok. i feel like an idiot now | 05:43 |
| giantpune | thanks | 05:43 |
| xangua | !panels | giantpune | 05:43 |
| ubottu | giantpune: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 05:43 |
| xangua | or restore the default configuration | 05:43 |
| MaRk-I | Slimp: the one you edit to share internet with is eth1 | 05:44 |

| Slimp | MaRk-I: So I've set up eth1 manually, entered an ip address, etc, and when I connect that using the network icon in the top right, it boots me off the internet on eth0, but definately put sme on the lan ( ican ping other machines). | 05:48 |
| xangua | Guest88400: have you tried to update mplayer¿¿ with this PPA you can use a more recent version https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer | 05:48 |
| Alonea | question, is Lucid pretty stable for netbook? I have the 9.10 remix still and didn't want to upgrade until I had an idea | 05:48 |
| promet | I have ipv6 enabled, but can't seem to connect to | 05:48 |
| promet | or ping6 eternal hosts | 05:49 |
| promet | any ideas/ | 05:49 |
| MaRk-I | Slimp: that's because you cant use both at the same time | 05:49 |
| Guest88400 | no i used the one from splitted desktops | 05:49 |
| AndrewX192 | Is there a way to prevent rsyslogd from writing to the disk every few seconds? | 05:49 |
| Slimp | MaRk-I: why not? | 05:49 |
| robbmunson | Alonea: Lucid is a long term release, so if it isn't stable as of yet, we have a long time to figure out how to make it stable (sorry I cant directly answer your question because I dont have a netbook...yet.) | 05:49 |
| thune3 | AndrewX192: i beleive you can add a - before files logs you don't want sync'ed on every write in # | 05:50 |
| thune3 | AndrewX192: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf | 05:50 |
| AndrewX192 | thune3, I beleive thats for syslogd | 05:50 |
| AndrewX192 | not rsyslogd | 05:50 |
| MaRk-I | Slimp: ok you can, but default is you connect one the other disconnects and vice versa | 05:50 |
| AndrewX192 | hm, maybe so | 05:50 |
| Slimp | MaRk-I: okay, so where to go from here? | 05:50 |
| Alonea | well, so far 9.10 has been alright, I have to compile the wireless drivers from source every kernel update and ubuntu one is buggy as ever though seems better recently, but besides that it behaves well enough | 05:51 |
| thune3 | AndrewX192: i could be wrong. certianly changes wouldn't take effect until rsyslog is restarted. | 05:51 |
| MaRk-I | Slimp: did you try adding it manually? | 05:53 |
| Alonea | I managed to find the wireless drivers by pure luck as most places said to do ndiswrapper (Which dc'd me constantly...). Wonder if they work in lucid... | 05:53 |
| r2d2_ | simple try a subnet | 05:53 |
| Slimp | MaRk-I: adding what manually? | 05:53 |
| mrwomp | 89 | 05:53 |
| r2d2_ | maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-creating-ethernet-alias-for-eth0-network-device.html | 05:54 |
| MaRk-I | the sharing connection, iptables etc. | 05:54 |

| Slimp | Like so? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 05:54 |

| manoj | whats it MaRk-I ? | 05:57 |

| maelstorm | Im currently installing a dual boot. I have installed windows 7 first on its own partition, and am installing ubuntu on its own partition. where do i want to install grub? | 06:13 |

| Agu10 | is there a way to not loose all my installed programs? | 06:14 |
| manoj | hmmm even after updating my kernel i did not get any help | 06:14 |
| maco | Agu10: just install kubuntu-desktop to add kubuntu to it | 06:14 |
| Zuruzuru | maelstorm: whoops, I mean, the boot partition should also be on its own partition | 06:14 |
| jamil_1 | maelstorm: it shouldn't hurt | 06:14 |
| Agu10 | maco: it's not the same as installing kubuntu | 06:15 |
| RobbieThe1st | Hi all | 06:15 |
| Agu10 | maco: for example, the log-in screen is still gnome | 06:15 |
| mneptok | Tom_: cygwin is a Unix command line environment for Windows. Agave is a GUI app. you'll need X windows, plus a bunch of GNOME libraries. | 06:15 |
| maco | Agu10: it should have asked you during install which you wanted to make default | 06:15 |
| Zuruzuru | maelstorm: just for reference, I almost always keep my boot partition 32 MBm I never get close to 20 MB | 06:15 |

| robbmunson | Puneeth: im aware thats a LOT of bloat but I want to make sure we have all our bases covered.... | 06:16 |
| RobbieThe1st | Puneeth: could your applications be trying to use PulseAudio, while you have alsa? | 06:17 |

| RobbieThe1st | Puneeth: check in the preferences page of each application | 06:18 |
| Poisoned_Gold | RobbieThe1st why is that important? | 06:18 |
| Puneeth | robbiethe1st: okay | 06:18 |
| Agu10 | I need to re-install windows 7, which I have dual-booted with ubuntu | 06:18 |

| Agu10 | how can I make ubuntu keep working after that? | 06:18 |
| Poisoned_Gold | I require explinations ^_^ | 06:18 |
| Puneeth | Robbiethe1st: i use Banshee for my Audio, and VLC for my video | 06:18 |
| RobbieThe1st | Poisoned_Gold: Because when you break something, you will know what commands you ran to break it | 06:19 |
| Poisoned_Gold | Oh!!! I understand.. | 06:19 |
| RobbieThe1st | Poisoned_Gold: and be able to ask someone based on those commands, or even reinstall and do everything -but- those commands | 06:19 |

| gethoht | well removing pulseaudio can definitely break things... so write down what commands you used to break things... | 06:20 |

| greezmunkey | *Q* Where in Lucid do I look to modify the default application used to open specific document types. Like gedit for text files, etc... | 06:21 |
| bazhang | greezmunkey, system preferences preferred applications ? | 06:22 |
| Poisoned_Gold | how the hell do people get used to the Terminal! It is so different from DoS | 06:24 |
| Poisoned_Gold | and I thought the Sudo command was to install something and I tried that but my computer just yelled at me... and said a bunch of mean mean words | 06:24 |
| greezmunkey | bazhang: what happened, as near as I can tell, I opened a text attachment in evolution, I have wine installed, and windows notepad opened the file. I have not tried to open a text file since then, until now. I have a text file on the desktop I use for notes, this time it opened in windows notepad! | 06:24 |
| Agu10 | maco: it doesn't work. I have kde in the login, (which doesn't show the different users), and I have gnome when logging in :S | 06:24 |
| RobbieThe1st | It takes a little work, but its not that hARD | 06:24 |
| gethoht | well... when you actually work in linux and the bash shell, it's really easy to get used to the "terminal: | 06:24 |
| RobbieThe1st | Poisioned: you can PM me if you want a bunch of terminal specific help | 06:25 |
| RobbieThe1st | and yea. Just remember, at first, "ls" instead of 'dir' | 06:25 |
| greezmunkey | bazhang: preferred apps does not cover generic file types from what I see. | 06:25 |
| Puneeth | RobbieThe1st: Banshee or Rhythmbox is not able to play any music file properly VLC is doing it but not well,,, too much of distortion | 06:25 |
| Puneeth | i think i'll install ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if that's going to help | 06:25 |
| RobbieThe1st | Puneeth: lower your volume levels | 06:25 |
| RobbieThe1st | Make sure nothings at max | 06:25 |
| maco | Agu10: there's a settings/options thing on the login screen. each user can decide for themself whether they use gnome or kde when they login. when you choose one for yourself, you can set it as your user's default. installing software never changes a user's settings | 06:25 |
| Puneeth | Robbiethe1st: it's below half, should't distort that way | 06:26 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Poisoned_Gold | 06:26 |
| Agu10 | maco: oh, I see. but still, isn't it better to install kubuntu? | 06:26 |
| maco | Agu10: if you reinstalled kubuntu from a cd, youd have to go back and install all the gnome applications you still want. either way, to have both, you're going to have to do a few steps. i tend to consider changing settings less time consuming than installing more software | 06:27 |
| bazhang | greezmunkey, not sure there re: notepad as I don't use wine; what about right click properties and set there? generally I just right click open with, but you can set in properties as well | 06:27 |
| greezmunkey | bazhang: I'll try that. | 06:28 |
| gethoht | kubuntu has always caused an excessive amount of problems for me | 06:28 |
| greezmunkey | bazhang: you da man, there it is! | 06:28 |
| gethoht | honestly if you insist on going kde... i'd give opensuse a fair shake | 06:29 |
| Agu10 | maco: and I have emerald. how can I deactivate it to show kde's? | 06:29 |

| maco | Agu10: you mean compiz ;-) emerald is just the decorator for compiz (an old decorator that's no longer supported, i might add). kde's window manager is kwin | 06:31 |
| pjarnahom | any one help me to change status in empathy... http://imagebin.org/104664 | 06:31 |
| maco | Agu10: if you have an autostart script set to start compiz you can remove it in system settings -> advanced -> autostart | 06:31 |
| Agu10 | maco: yeah, how can I enable kwin and disable emerald? | 06:31 |
| Agu10 | maco: I do want compiz, but I don't want emerald anymore | 06:31 |
| maco | Agu10: ah ok. hmm i think compizconfig-settings-manager lets you set the window decorator it uses | 06:32 |
| maco | Agu10: kwin has many of the same effects as compiz built in, by the way | 06:32 |

| MaRk-I | pjarnahom: click the empathy icon on the taskbar , it shows the options status (I think) | 06:33 |
| Agu10 | maco: so I should do kwin --replace in the window-decorator plugin? | 06:33 |
| maco | Agu10: cube, sliding thing, all that stuff with showing the window previews in the taskbar... | 06:34 |
| pjarnahom | MaRk-I, i've tried not working..... | 06:34 |
| maco | Agu10: no, kde-window-decorator is the name of the thing for the window deorator plugin | 06:34 |
| maco | Agu10: kwin and compiz are separate window managers. kde-window-decorator is what lets compiz use kwin's themes | 06:34 |

| littlebear | sudo umount -f /dev/ | 06:44 |
| stunatra | how'd you get the buttons to be on the right side of the window? | 06:45 |
| bp0 | stunatra, huh? | 06:45 |
| bp0 | oh, and also unmount anyway does nothing | 06:45 |
| bp0 | so 3 problems in that one screenshot | 06:45 |
| bazhang | !controls | stunatra | 06:45 |
| ubottu | stunatra: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 06:45 |

| bp0 | so what package to report the bug? | 06:46 |
| Agu10 | bazhang: why did they move the controls to the left? | 06:47 |
| Agu10 | bazhang: to be more mac-users friendly? | 06:47 |
| bazhang | Agu10, plans for the next release, need to free up the right side for windicators, an applet type thing. | 06:48 |
| Agu10 | bazhang: what's that? | 06:48 |
| maco | Agu10: indicator applets built into each window | 06:49 |
| bazhang | Agu10, mind taking this to #ubuntu-offtopic where I can explain? | 06:49 |
| maco | Agu10: chek out mark shuttleworth's blog | 06:49 |

| Jordan_U | fluffy: How comfortable are you with the terminal? Restarting X may get things working again, or it may mean that the next time you log in it will be very hard to start any applications at all. | 07:14 |

| fluffy | Jordan_U: crap, it wont install because the wireless manager didnt launch | 07:18 |

| Jordan_U | fluffy: Try running "nm-connection-editor & sleep 60 && pkill nm-connection-editor". That should bring up the network manager prefernces, and kill it after 60 seconds in case it makes the terminal unavailable. | 07:24 |
| manoj | is there anyway i can delete all my sound settings and driver and make a clean install | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | fluffy: If it does bring up the network manager preferences, then set your wireless connection to connect automatically and be "available to all users". That way it will connect to wifi before you even log in. | 07:25 |
| ManDay | Can someone explain to me without using a "!" how Ubuntu updates work? Ubuntu is not a "rolling release" does that mean that software such as GIMP (which just got 2.7) will only be updated after a long while and not necessarily after it has been packed for ubuntu? | 07:26 |

| miststlkr | likely a stupid question for you folks. When i boot into my persistent USB install I get a menu similar to a liveCD gives, can I skip the menu and just boot the OS? | 07:28 |
| fluffy | Jordan_U: i see a new install in my future | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | ManDay: Yes, it does mean that, but you can often get updated versions of programs from third party PPAs | 07:28 |
| rww | ManDay: Ubuntu doesn't generally upgrade to new major versions of software after release, so e.g. GIMP will always be at version 2.6.8 in Ubuntu 10.04. | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | fluffy: It needs to be set as "available to all users" as well. | 07:28 |
| ManDay | Jordan_U, is there maybe a complete PPA which holds all packages at the latest? | 07:28 |
| shaw1337 | Hi all | 07:29 |

| ubottu | miststlkr: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:10 |
| lobito | hello, liek a month ago, I installed mobilemediaconverter 1.6 and succesfully transcoded some videos (avi and flv) to mp4 and I was able to see them on my mobile, the problem is that now thr program doesnt seem to want to transcode anymore :( help | 08:10 |
| miststlkr | rww - might have gotten it... I think. Thanks anyway. | 08:11 |
| somethinginteres | this is probably a silly question but can using Wine open me up to Windows viruses etc? | 08:11 |
| rww | miststlkr: alright. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome has various basic info that might be of use | 08:12 |
| madrid | firefox 3.6 pack debian for jaunty , where is the file? | 08:13 |
| RobbieThe1st | somethinginteres: To a certain degree | 08:13 |
| RobbieThe1st | somethinginteres: But, it should only be able to mess with stuff in your Wine install folders | 08:13 |
| RobbieThe1st | and you won't have anything launch when you reboot like viruses are wont to do | 08:14 |

| somethinginteres | RobbieTheIst: OK, so any issues would only extend to the wine install folder and it would be mostly likely just a re-install of wine if it ever happened? | 08:17 |
| miststlkr | alright, it does seem that I have that one in hand, so I'll skip to the second question on the next issue ;-) What is the name of the menu that you get when you load a liveCD which gives the option to run/install/memtest/etc? I'd like to learn more about manipulating that menu and don't mind doing the research but not sure what even to look up | 08:17 |

| Flannel | alexander_: `sudo apt-get update` (fetch the new package information from the server) | 08:27 |

| karma_police | maybe someone will write a silverlight comparable program so we can have netflix and linux | 08:48 |
| tomasz | hello | 08:49 |
| dive-o | there is silverlight for linux | 08:49 |
| tomasz | i have a problem | 08:49 |
| dive-o | tomasz: hi | 08:49 |
| karma_police | where is it? | 08:49 |
| tomasz | with wine and directx version | 08:49 |
| tomasz | i have 8.0 but need 8.1 or higher | 08:50 |
| auntie | heh, silverlight on linux (moonlight) is crippled | 08:50 |
| dive-o | I've only used it briefly | 08:50 |
| dive-o | and it didn't work worth crap | 08:50 |
| auntie | microsoft is full of crap | 08:50 |
| dive-o | just like flash | 08:51 |
| dive-o | :p | 08:51 |
| dive-o | it took what, ten years to get usable flash on *nix? and even now its still buggy | 08:51 |
| dive-o | i expect the same from silverlight | 08:51 |
| * dive-o <3 flashblock | 08:51 | |
| auntie | the internet is practically unusable without flashblock | 08:51 |
| dive-o | agreed | 08:51 |
| auntie | with like 20 tabs open, you can easily get four or five flash ads to cripple even the most endowed boxes | 08:52 |
| dive-o | most everybody I work with refused to even try google chrome until there was a flashblock for it | 08:52 |
| robertzaccour | hey yall | 08:52 |
| dive-o | yup | 08:52 |
| dive-o | flash websites in a tab that i forgot about have caused me to come home and notice my machine is 300 megs into swap before | 08:52 |
| auntie | lol, so true | 08:53 |
| openmindj | hi room | 08:53 |
| dive-o | hiya | 08:53 |
| auntie | it doesn't help that playing even tiny videos with flash will use 90% CPU time | 08:53 |
| Krezkey | how do I get in to edit a locked config file ? | 08:53 |
| dive-o | I'm just glad that the swapoff trick works on linux, never had a reason to try it until i started noticing flash leaking all over the place | 08:53 |
| dive-o | Krezkey: locked as in vi won't let you edit it, or locked as in permission denied trying to open it? | 08:54 |
| Krezkey | not able to edit it to enable my network manager | 08:54 |
| auntie | Krezkey: sudo gedit | 08:54 |
| dive-o | not able to edit what? | 08:54 |
| auntie | then open it with the open file dialog or whatever | 08:55 |
| Krezkey | ok i'll try that thanks | 08:55 |
| auntie | but be careful :) | 08:55 |
| dive-o | man i love this new trackball, if it weren't for games i'd quit mice entirely | 08:56 |
| openmindj | hi...does any one here work from home?? | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | dive-o: At least with chrome, even before flashblock, you can kill flash without killing the browser. | 08:56 |
| auntie | I've never used a trackball long enough to understand why people use them :/ | 08:56 |
| dive-o | Jordan_U: agreed | 08:56 |
| auntie | yeah, I love that... chrome often kills flash :D | 08:57 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 08:57 |
| dive-o | auntie: I first gave one a serious try when my carpal tunnel got annoying in my late teens... never preferred them, but didn't dislike them. this one (kensington expert mouse) is simply amazing, so little movement required to use it | 08:57 |
| dive-o | (having a bad flare up of carpal tunnel/RSI/something, so I'm forced to go ergonomic on everything) | 08:58 |
| Krezkey | I use to love my MS trackball. Still love it for gaming | 08:58 |
| auntie | dive-o: I've used a small laptop mouse to avoid RSI pain | 08:58 |
| auntie | since I can move it with two fingers without having to grip it | 08:59 |

| Krezkey | ok auntie, tried sudo gedit and bash said gedit command not found | 09:00 |
| Brydenn | but i dunno what to do | 09:00 |
| RobbieThe1st | Google Google's DNS servers | 09:00 |
| RobbieThe1st | there should be instructions | 09:00 |
| Zolomon | I've tried installing libssh2-php but that doesn't seem to solve it. | 09:00 |
| dive-o | auntie: yea, thats why i love this trackball - two fingers can run it, dont need to click anything hard (since the middle button is an actual button, not a wheel you have to shove down) | 09:00 |
| dive-o | the scroll is done with a ring around the ball that you can move from any angle, it's quite slick | 09:00 |
| auntie | dive-o: heh, my middle button is broken... I need a new mouse ;P | 09:00 |
| Zolomon | do I need to reboot my computer for that to work? | 09:00 |
| dive-o | Zolomon: shouldn't need to | 09:01 |
| Zolomon | dive-o: I use a VPS at linode.com, I'm a bit inexperienced with ubuntu, can't tell what settings they've done/not done etc. :/ | 09:02 |
| Krezkey | Auntie gedit did not work, bash says command not found | 09:02 |
| auntie | Krezkey: use nano then | 09:03 |
| auntie | Krezkey: sudo nano -w myFile | 09:04 |

| nicofs | I need help with Sakis3G, my SIM PIN is deactivated but somehow Sakis3G doesn't recognise that and aborts dial-up. | 09:04 |
| dive-o | Zolomon: I wouldn't know, I don't know anything about linode or VPS in general (dedicated hosting, sure, but I've never had a reason to mess with a VPS other than doing work for a client) | 09:04 |
| dive-o | but I'd assume sftp would just work, if ssh just works | 09:04 |

| Brydenn | bah, no | 09:07 |
| Brydenn | brb haha | 09:07 |
| auntie | Uboy: scratch that, don't remove root's hash... if it's ubuntu, you just have to remove that of your own user | 09:08 |
| Uboy | auntie No, I know my password and in X server mode and desktop it's working for any sudo commands and...., but in console mode (out of X mode) it's wrong, why? | 09:08 |

| r2d2_ | drive-o setting this scanner to get wep keys? | 09:11 |
| auntie | Uboy: failing that, just give root a password and login as root at the console | 09:11 |
| dive-o | and then don't forget to re-lock the root account when you're done :) | 09:11 |
| Uboy | auntie: for login in root (sudo -s) my pass does't work too | 09:11 |

| auntie | Uboy: okay | 09:12 |
| dive-o | r2d2_: it might need to be run as root, I haven't used swscanner though. But generally anything that's gonna sniff the network will need root. | 09:12 |

| rww | auntie, Uboy: Setting a root password is not supported by this channel. Please do not recommend it to people in here, and please be aware that if you set one, we will not help you with it. | 09:21 |
| rww | !noroot | 09:22 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 09:22 |
| dive-o | nicofs: hrm. The ones I've played with show up as a modem, but they don't need anything set to work - could your carrier require a user/password or something perhaps? | 09:22 |
| willwork4foo | !wfm | 09:22 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 09:22 |
| willwork4foo | curious here] | 09:22 |
| dive-o | I'm just guessing :) | 09:22 |
| scriptwarlock | Uboy: goodluck! | 09:22 |
| om26er | !root | 09:22 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:22 |
| nicofs | dive-o: none of my providerss requires that... | 09:22 |
| Uboy | rww so where and what room is for root commads? | 09:23 |
| Uboy | scriptwarlock: u too! | 09:23 |
| dive-o | nicofs: Hm. Not sure then, I'm out of guesses :) sorry | 09:23 |
| rww | Uboy: To run commands with root privileges, preface them with "sudo" (for command-line apps) or "gksudo" (for graphical ones). e.g.: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 09:23 |
| scriptwarlock | Uboy: why would you like to root passwd? | 09:23 |
| nicofs | dive-o: that's what i've been hearing for the part weeks now... :-( | 09:24 |
| ManDay | Compiz edge bindings often just stop working on edges where there are windows, panels or somethign else obscuring the desktop background - thats very annoying - does anyone know this problem and/or can help? | 09:24 |
| dive-o | rww: I used to hate that ubuntu didn't have a root password, and then I realized that on all my machines that do have a root password, it's set to a really long random string that's written down on a piece of paper in a safe, so there's not much point other than when I need it to get single user at console on my BSD machines ;) | 09:24 |
| scriptwarlock | Uboy: installing some important apps? | 09:24 |
| om26er | ManDay, try #compiz | 09:24 |
| Uboy | scriptwarlock: For use a root commands in console mode, and installing Nvidia Driver | 09:25 |
| dive-o | Uboy: you can use root commands with sudo; there is no need to set a root password | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | Uboy: Use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. | 09:25 |
| scriptwarlock | Uboy: yeah the hardware drivers | 09:25 |
| Uboy | scriptwarlock: mr/mrs auntie say me how can I do that | 09:25 |
| auntie | lol, sorry #ubuntu, didn't mean to break a rule xD | 09:26 |
| scriptwarlock | Uboy: becaue ubuntu provided an easier graphical tool for the hardware to install unless your upto something | 09:26 |
| jagadish__ | need help with manuall driver install | 09:26 |
| Uboy | Jordan_U no I want to version 256 and another reason is for recommanded version in hardwere driver does't support 3Ds | 09:26 |

| dive-o | Does anybody else here have issues with ath5k in ubuntu 10? | 09:27 |
| auntie | Jordan_U: you can't take my root login even if you tried! muahahahaha! | 09:27 |

| vasu | Jordan_U, He will be , soon enough. | 09:36 |
| Cheery | it's already a month old. and that has gotten some features since then. | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | vasu: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "sudo blkid"? | 09:36 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, wait for 30 second plz | 09:36 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us | 09:37 |

| vasu | ChrisGo, ubuntu >> windows :-) | 09:40 |
| szonek | because i can't install Ubuntu on my fakeraid | 09:40 |
| ChrisGo | just trying to figure out if its worth the constant tweaking to get even 50 % equal functionality out of the box | 09:41 |
| willwork4foo | ChrisGo, you can get loads more functionality out of Ubuntu | 09:41 |
| jagadish__ | scriptwarlock : i did but no results as soon as i restart and edit my bios ubuntu doesnt start | 09:41 |
| willwork4foo | ChrisGo, what functionality are you missing exactly? | 09:41 |
| vasu | ChrisGo, Well, in my computer, with ubuntu, everything works "out of the box" | 09:41 |
| szonek | vasu: except fakeraid.. | 09:41 |
| ChrisGo | gaming for one | 09:41 |
| szonek | ;-[ | 09:41 |
| Cheery | ChrisGo: well.. windows 7 is not worth the tweaking to get that 10% functionality. | 09:41 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: then try the nvidia steps | 09:41 |
| willwork4foo | ChrisGo, more stuff worked OOTB (Out Of The Box) with Ubuntu than worked with Windows 7 for me | 09:41 |
| Cheery | ChrisGo: you don't game on PCs >:( there's xbox and ps3 for that | 09:42 |
| Cheery | ChrisGo: unless you want a crappy gaming experience | 09:42 |

| ChrisGo | case closed | 09:42 |
| willwork4foo | ChrisGo, consoles are much better for gaming - and way cheaper!! PCs are for other stuff | 09:42 |
| jagadish__ | scriptwarlock : its greek for me pal that's why i'm here | 09:42 |

| zcat[1] | lol, nice troll-feeding there | 09:43 |
| willwork4foo | szonek, this is true... Ubuntu is not flawless. But then, neither is Windows. It really depends on what you want out of it | 09:43 |

| willwork4foo | Me, I want my computer to be fast, stable and responsive | 09:43 |
| willwork4foo | WXZ1, go ask Steve Jobs | 09:43 |
| vasu | WXZ1, You can move it back | 09:43 |

| vasu | WXZ1, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 09:44 |
| willwork4foo | WXZ1, there are a number of themes you can choose, or you can edit your own. They all have the 3 buttons in various locations | 09:44 |
| szonek | anyway.. is there something like 'daily iso' for Lucid? | 09:44 |
| WXZ1 | that's just a stupid default though, most people are right handed | 09:44 |
| willwork4foo | I even saw one where the buttons were inthe middle | 09:44 |
| zcat[1] | WXZ1: just switch to one of the buttons-on-the-right themes | 09:44 |
| Cheery | szonek: well yeah.. though I pretty much ignore all the pros because it's closed source system which can throw out logs to my path whenever it wants to. | 09:44 |
| WXZ1 | and it's a natural motion for your hand to move away from your body | 09:44 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, Yes, what shall i do now ? | 09:44 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| willwork4foo | szonek, erm - don't need one, grab it from ubuntu.net and then apply patching | 09:44 |

| zcat[1] | WXZ1: we ALL agree it's a stupid default... don't know wtf sabdfl was thinking there.... | 09:45 |
| airtonix | willwork4foo, why so serious ? | 09:45 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, If , AS i don't have any overlapping partitions, then why must the partitioner not list the ntfs drives ? | 09:45 |
| Jordan_U | vasu: I'm not sure why parted is complaining so I don't know. | 09:45 |

| vasu | WXZ, You followed that link ? | 09:45 |
| kop_ | WXZ1, just another reason why . along with PulseAudio that I will be bypassing 10.xx altogether | 09:46 |
| WXZ | yes, I'm going to change it now | 09:46 |

| vasu | WXZ, when line command moves it back, why should we complain about it ? ;-) | 09:46 |
| willwork4foo | zcat[1], I use Ubuntu Netbook edition, so everything is maximised for me and the close button is moved up to the task bar | 09:46 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, What can i do now ? | 09:46 |
| cellarius_antik | hey | 09:46 |
| vasu | cellarius_antik, Hi | 09:46 |
| cellarius_antik | how do i talk to the people using my server | 09:46 |
| WXZ | because it's an unecessary step | 09:46 |
| willwork4foo | cellarius_antik, phone them up? | 09:46 |
| cellarius_antik | can i make my own channel ? | 09:46 |
| szonek | Cheery: not everyone need open source OS and not for everyone it's important thing | 09:46 |
| WXZ | and not everyone knows about this irc room | 09:46 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: but of course if you use th eagp you should disable the onboard video | 09:47 |
| dive-o | kop_: I'd love to avoid pulseaudio, but the ubuntu developers seem to love it even though it loves to die | 09:47 |
| jagadish_ | scriptwarlock : so that;s what the problem is ... | 09:47 |
| cellarius_antik | and wtf to tty people keep turning my server on | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | vasu: Just as a check, what is the output of "sudo parted /dev/sda print"? | 09:47 |
| cellarius_antik | should i be worried? | 09:47 |
| WXZ | so they'd have to google this, or they might not even think it's possible to move it back | 09:47 |
| willwork4foo | cellarius_antik, making your own channel on freenode is easy. find a name not in use, and type /join flibblecheeswongadong | 09:47 |
| zcat[1] | I guess it might be good if I can ever persuade my mum to switch, she currently uses a Mac so it won't be 'the wrong side' for her ;) | 09:47 |
| willwork4foo | that's a good name that's not in use | 09:47 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: have you installed th edriver? or not yet | 09:47 |
| szonek | willwork4foo: how can i apply patches? just update system from livecd or what? :) | 09:47 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, sudo parted /dev/sda print | 09:47 |
| cellarius_antik | but how do i get the users on my system on | 09:47 |
| jagadish_ | scriptwarlock : edriver..?? | 09:47 |
| willwork4foo | szonek, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 09:47 |
| willwork4foo | OR you could use the GUI update-manager | 09:48 |
| Cheery | szonek: well, I think it's important for anyone who WANTS to keep using computers with reasonable expenses. | 09:48 |
| vasu | WXZ, No, that's a very famous question about.. We too have a ubottu factoid about it.. Try !controls | 09:48 |
| cellarius_antik | really though - y do tty hosts want my server on?? | 09:48 |
| Cheery | szonek: otherwise it isn't. | 09:48 |
| vasu | !controls | WXZ | 09:48 |
| ubottu | WXZ: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

| cellarius_antik | they crash one of my serial drives and cover it up with a virtual machine | 09:48 |

| jagadish_ | <scriptwarlock> : hehehe.. yeh i did the recomended and removed it... | 09:48 |
| cellarius_antik | i thought the whole point of open source was that u rewrote it | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | vasu: That's it, nothing else? | 09:48 |
| jagadish_ | <scriptwarlock> it doesn't help | 09:48 |

| szonek | willwork4foo: yeah but i have a problem with installing Lucid on fakeraid (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/grub-installer/+bug/568050) should i boot from livecd, update it and then try to install it? | 09:49 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: ok so launch this | 09:49 |

| dive-o | Cheery: I'm not saying everything closed source is great, I think most of it is trash, but I also think there are things which aren't equaled in the open source world quite yet | 09:51 |
| willwork4foo | Cheery, manure? | 09:51 |
| dive-o | this is what I mean when I say I wish it wasn't viewed as black and white - there is a middle ground, and there needs to be. | 09:51 |

| jagadish__ | <scriptwarlock> : the first time it asked me for the password ... | 09:52 |
| dive-o | the question shouldn't be which solution is open source, but which solution fits the need the best :) | 09:52 |
| willwork4foo | I am a perl fan :) I haven't gotten around to doing Python yet | 09:52 |
| jagadish__ | <scriptwarlock> : and nothing happn'd | 09:52 |
| szonek | Cheery what are you saying about PHP not being different then Python lol | 09:52 |
| vasu | i think this is #ubuntu ... | 09:52 |
| dive-o | if the answer is open source, that's great, if not, that's tolerable | 09:52 |

| vasu | Jordan_U, can windows viruses (he has a LOTS) affect the harddisk so much that the partitioner can't fidn the list of ntfs paritions ? | 09:53 |

| Jordan_U | vasu: You might have to wait a while (with lower traffic channels it can be hours before you get a response) but try #parted. | 09:55 |

| zus | and yes i have done the instructions and have the ppa... | 09:55 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, I am using live cd. Installed clamav from syanptic. But does not list itself on apps. what command starts the clam gui ? | 09:55 |

| dive-o | zus: I had to install winetricks, but my wine install required so much tweaking to get the games I wanted working that I honestly couldn't tell you where to start, I've lost track of what all I had to mess with | 09:56 |
| zcat[1] | btw I was told in ##windows that it's relatively common for a windows OEM install to show partitions in the drive's partition table that are quite different from what Windows sees.. I have no idea how that works but I have seen it firsthane at least once and I asked there because I thought I must be imagining it. | 09:56 |

| szonek | Cheery: as an example you can compare Outlook and Evolution - second one has loooooooooooooong way to go | 09:56 |

| Habbekratz | hi | 10:00 |
| vasu | dive-o, :( ... | 10:00 |
| Cheery | dive-o: that too. Though there's some things you can quarantee to really prevent good programmers from existing. | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | Uboy: You need to login first. Type in your name (which should be visable as you type it) then enter, then your password (which shoule *not* be visable as you type it). | 10:00 |
| Habbekratz | right upper corner there is a chataccounts icon, entered gtalk and msn but cant open a gtalk window | 10:01 |
| Cheery | dive-o: one thing being restricting access to learning material or forcing them into fixed toolsets. | 10:01 |
| dive-o | Cheery: no doubt. I'm not trying to start an argument at all; just going off my experience that sometimes idealism hurts the idea of getting things done rather than helps (like when I have a user spend all day setting up gentoo rather than using ubuntu) | 10:01 |
| vasu | Jordan_U, clamtk is not listed even after i enabled universe from software sources | 10:01 |
| Jordan_U | vasu: Please stop with the "URGENT : PLEASE HELP", just state your question without using all capitals. | 10:01 |
| hihihi100 | can anyone in here gimme a hand with I2p? it involves the following error : Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! | 10:02 |

| abhi_nav | Habbekratz, gtalk? it is not gtalk it is only empathy. | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | vasu: unallocated space wont show in the places menu. If you want to use teh whole HD for linux. use fdisk, and delete all the partitions, and let the installer auto partition it by telling it to use the 'whole disk' | 10:07 |
| jagadish__ | scriptwarlock : You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing | 10:07 |

| abhi_nav | Habbekratz, switch means? you can enable or disable them. you can know chich contacct in online from which account | 10:07 |
| dive-o | if for no other reason than I can tinker with it all I want and not have to worry about some vendor getting mad at me for adding features or changing something ;) | 10:08 |

| vasu | Dr_Willis, Also, IN the places menu, I get teh list. but not on gparetd or on partitioner.. | 10:08 |

| jagadish__ | abhi_nav : that;s grea | 10:09 |
| zcat[1] | vasu: You might need to ask in ##windows, the advice I got the other day is that OEM installs are often 'broken' in a way that makes installing anything else impossible.. Make a set of backups and restore DVDs and do a fresi reinstall of Windows, then you may be able to install Ubuntu after that | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | vasu: you may want to check the forums. Theres been some issues with the Installer partionier not seeing drives properly. I always partiotion my disks with fdisk befor i even start the Partioner. so i never have had the issue. | 10:09 |
| abhi_nav | jagadish__, yes | 10:09 |
| jagadish__ | scriptwarlock : did u get the error | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | vasu: you could try a gparted live cd. and see what it sees. and let it resize things how you want. | 10:09 |
| vasu | Dr_Willis, so i have to get gparted live disk .. Downloading ? is free it ? | 10:10 |

| ubottu | rocket16: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | madrid: you could still ask in the download heloper forums to see IF they know of similer ones. | 10:27 |

| * airtonix "tehs" his constants | 10:52 | |
| CkhiKuzad | Dr_Willis, that doesnt seem like it will work. they need to be added to the password list too, right? | 10:52 |
| jagadish | here's what i did... i pressed ctrl+alt+F1 and typed in /etc/init.d//gdm stop | 10:52 |
| jagadish | and then the installer ran.. but its giving some kernel error... | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | CkhiKuzad: we all thought about *one* user | 10:53 |
| CkhiKuzad | it kind of seems like welding another wing onto a plane. it will stay on, but it wont work. | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: you asked how to transfer their SETTINGs.. You make a user on the ubuntu box. copy the other users settings to thatusers home dir.. and the settings will be transfered | 10:53 |
| jimmy_ | Hi would somebody be able to help me make my Ubuntu 10.04 automatically boot into Ratpoison (a window manager) | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: the settings most likely dont care what user is using them. | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | CkhiKuzad: add the users in ubuntu then copy the home folders over ( do chown as needed ) | 10:53 |
| CkhiKuzad | -.- | 10:53 |
| bazhang | jimmy_, tried setting it as default yet? | 10:54 |
| jimcooncat | looks like I could use gconf-editor, /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel, adjust "orientation" from "right" to "top". Is this in some xml file somewhere? | 10:54 |
| CkhiKuzad | i mean, how do i directly copy a USER from debian to ubuntu | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | jagadish: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » | 10:54 |
| CkhiKuzad | there? | 10:54 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish_: just stick whith the nvidia ubuntu community docs and whatever happens you are in the right place to ask, just ask | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | jimcooncat: use gconftool-2 | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: do what erUSUL said then. Unless you want to be sure the users have the same UID/GID on both machines.. that will make it a little harder. | 10:55 |
| jagadish | erUSUL, i am trying to install nvidia drivers and that's the issue ... i ran the command u gave me but it says its updated | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | jimcooncat: maybe --> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/orientation "top" | 10:55 |
| jimcooncat | thanks erUSUL. Bit hung over, might take me a while to figure that one out. But when I do maybe I'd be able to script it | 10:56 |
| jimcooncat | erUSUL: great! then I'd have to killall gnome-panel? | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | jimcooncat: check that it is actually of type string in the editor etc | 10:56 |

| erUSUL | jimcooncat: yep | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: the Firefox directory is easy to copy over to other users names/accounts. i do that allthe time to keep my identical ff setup of extensions and bookmarks. | 10:57 |
| jagadish | erUSUL, is there any thing wrong with my ubuntu install | 10:57 |
| jimcooncat | erUSUL: saves the day! Give me something to play with for a while anyway | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: there are extensions to keep her favorites 'online' so any firefox she uses can have access to them | 10:58 |

| rocket16 | loquitus: AS far as I know, it is. But a clean install is always better, :) | 11:02 |

| Dr_Willis | jimmy_: then disable gdm. use 'startx' and make a .xinitrc to do what you want. or it may be .Xsession now a days | 11:20 |

| CkhiKuzad | like, a site i am using has a faulty javascript on its w.cdn.site things, and i want to completely block the server using the javascript thats faulty, this site has things like s.cdn and a.cdn | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: hosts file blocking will get awkward. | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | CkhiKuzad: you may want to use some other methods. like 'noscript' for disabling of javascript on sites. | 11:30 |
| bazhang | DiGaTTo, has your computer ever worked? if so, what caused it to stop working; what have you tried, what error messages have you gotten | 11:30 |
| CkhiKuzad | its just the javascript on that one cdn. if i block it, then i lose the function of that javascript. noscript is horrible on my computer. | 11:31 |
| DiGaTTo | they worked fine with xp just wanted to change OS | 11:31 |
| DiGaTTo | no errors at all | 11:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | if i block the javascript, i lose that JS, but if i block the entire w.cdn, then i get the javascript from s.cdn | 11:31 |

| Dr_Willis | shafiei: you have recently 'updated and upgraded' via 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' Some times the package manager needs refreshed | 11:37 |
| Krezkey | It does not matter what I try, I can't edit network manager conf file. | 11:37 |

| rxd | is there a frugal install for ubuntu | 11:40 |
| shafiei | Dr_Willis: i just did that | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rxd: you can setup a Live-cd type install with a persistant save file to a flash drive. or use Grub2 to boot an iso. | 11:40 |
| DrManhattan | whats the diff between the ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server kernel | 11:41 |
| shafiei | Dr_Willis: same story | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | shafiei: i mean 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try reinstalling the package. | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | shafiei: if the package seems to be broken. check the bug reports. there may be some issue with it. | 11:41 |

| DrManhattan | alrighty... | 11:42 |
| DrManhattan | thanks | 11:42 |

| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: i always use 64bit when my cpu supports it - reguardless of my actual ram | 11:43 |
| Archana | I need a secure file deletion software. | 11:43 |
| DrManhattan | Dr_Willis, why? | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: 5-10% speed gain when doing CPU intensive tasks for one reason | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | DrManhattan: easier to have all the box's on the lan do 64bit when using apt-cacher-ng also | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Only 32bit box i got is my netbook | 11:44 |
| jimcooncat | Dr_Willis: does it take much more RAM usage that way? | 11:44 |

| Archana | I need a secure file deletion app .. Is that in ubuntu software center ? | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Archana: several exist for linux. You may need to use the synaptic package manager tool. Software center may not list all avail apps. | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Archana: many of the tools may be command line only also. | 11:49 |
| Archana | I need an alternative to "Suredelete" this : http://tinyurl.com/2c3sctc | 11:50 |

| Dr_Willis | I never use any of the secure delete tools.. so cant suggest any | 11:50 |
| DrManhattan | yeah im not THAT concerned about the porn I look at | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Archana: Ive never seen much need for the toools. Unless i happened to become truely paranoid.. | 11:51 |

| Archana | KenBW2-laptop, And it's "HER" ... not "HIS" | 11:52 |
| DrManhattan | I would just use DD - but I don't know of any GUI tools | 11:52 |
| DrManhattan | DD seems simple enough | 11:52 |
| DrManhattan | dd if=/dev/zero of=/pathto/file.foo | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont recalls eeing any 'gui' secure deletion tools.. | 11:53 |
| Krezkey | trooperi I have tried sudo, sudo nano , don't know bash commands. still new to this OS | 11:53 |

| Sego | How is 'Suspend' supposed to execute itself in Lucid Lynx, and then what is the function to bring the computer out of 'Suspend'? | 11:54 |
| DrManhattan | you dont NEED ccleaner in linux | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Archana: no idea what cccleaner even does. | 11:54 |
| Archana | DrManhattan, Why is there no need ? | 11:54 |
| DrManhattan | there's no registry and to the best of my knowledge, no spyware/virii | 11:54 |

| erUSUL | aeiou_: . is a special char in regex | 12:27 |
| erUSUL | aeiou_: you have to escape it --> grep '^\.' | 12:28 |
| aeiou_ | erUSUL, eh? | 12:28 |
| [FB]Chris | hi, where is the equivalent of /etc/inittab in 10.04? it seems to have disappeared | 12:28 |
| aeiou_ | "<aeiou_> why does piping this output to : grep ^\." | 12:28 |
| erUSUL | !runlevels | [FB]Chris | 12:28 |
| aeiou_ | as you can see, im already escaping it | 12:28 |
| ubottu | [FB]Chris: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 12:28 |
| Andy-at-home | guys, ive got a VPS that im trying to use as a game server but it seems ive over estimated the number of games that have dedicated server versions or even support linux. can anyone recommend a few server games that i can run in linux? | 12:28 |
| Andy-at-home | minus Counter Strike | 12:28 |
| erUSUL | aeiou_: ouch | 12:29 |
| wendal_ | hola | 12:29 |
| erUSUL | !es | wendal_ | 12:29 |
| ubottu | wendal_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 12:29 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: okay, so is there a guide on disabling TTYs on 10.04? | 12:29 |
| aeiou_ | erUSUL, any other ideas? | 12:29 |
| philinux | ohir: here's mine as an example "/dev/sda1 12G 4.4G 6.1G 42% /" | 12:29 |
| wendal_ | He encontrado ubuntu en formato DVD. Qué diferencias tiene con la versión cd? | 12:29 |
| ohir | aeiou_: you forget to quote your re | 12:29 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: i just do « sudo mv /etc/init/tty?.conf /etc/init/tty?.conf.disabled » where ? is the numbers | 12:29 |
| ohir | aeiou_: '^\.' | 12:30 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: that's awesome, thanks | 12:30 |
| erUSUL | aeiou_: appart from saying. do not parse ls output and it works here with no ls output ? | 12:30 |
| ohir | philinux: thats whe I asked for df | 12:30 |
| aeiou_ | ohir, oh i see! '^\.' works and so does ^\\. | 12:30 |

| ohir | aeiou_: yes. Either you use ' ' quote or need to quote with \ any special shell char | 12:31 |
| philinux | ohir: I think it wont paste in here unless you put "" around anything starting "/" it thinks it's a irc command | 12:31 |

| aeiou_ | thanks all | 12:31 |
| Dvyjones | I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition if that helps. | 12:32 |
| ohir | philinux: he oughta use ubuntu.pastebin.com ie | 12:32 |
| philinux | ohir: jose has departed | 12:32 |
| shauno | Dvyjones: do you have more than one partition? could /var be full despite / being happy? | 12:32 |
| erUSUL | Dvyjones: fsck the partition | 12:32 |
| Dvyjones | shauno: Nope. This is fstab and mtab: https://gist.github.com/f56eac9ed6d9cdcebb9c | 12:33 |
| Dvyjones | erUSUL: Can I do that on a mounted partition? | 12:33 |
| ohir | philinux: might be he read what df said | 12:33 |
| shauno | Dvyjones: that looks like a virtual machine. can you check available disk space on the host machine? | 12:33 |
| erUSUL | Dvyjones: nope; « sudo touch /forcefsck » reboot the machine | 12:34 |
| Dvyjones | erUSUL: I'd really prefer not to reboot, if that's possible. | 12:34 |
| Dvyjones | shauno: It's a linode. | 12:34 |
| ohir | Dvyjones: what df -h says about your /var and /usr? | 12:35 |
| Dvyjones | none 250M 56K 250M 1% /var/run | 12:35 |
| Dvyjones | none 250M 0 250M 0% /var/lock | 12:35 |
| philinux | ohir: without scrolling back I think he said "/" only had a few mb left | 12:35 |
| Andy-at-home | anyone know any driving\racing games that i can run on as a dedicated game server? | 12:35 |
| erUSUL | Dvyjones: so a VM ... then maybe corrupt filesystem is not the issue ... consult their support? | 12:35 |
| Dvyjones | / has 5.5G left. | 12:35 |
| ohir | philinux: ok. | 12:35 |
| Dvyjones | df -h output: https://gist.github.com/e93c21dc094ac33fd215 | 12:36 |
| shauno | Dvyjones: I'd be tempted to ping their support. if they set virtual disks up as 'sparse files', they'll grow to meet demand. if they exhaust their disk space before you've grown to your extents, someone has to lose | 12:36 |
| Dvyjones | shauno: I'll ping them, then. | 12:36 |
| Dvyjones | Thanks for the help :) | 12:36 |
| arthalion7 | Internet Radio plugin for rhythmbox doesn't load shoutcast channel | 12:37 |
| ohir | Dvyjones: your /var (esp /var/tmp if you has separate) | 12:37 |
| DrManhattan | vlc plays shoutcast radio, I think | 12:37 |
| arthalion7 | someone knows the reason? | 12:37 |
| Dvyjones | ohir: I don't have any separate partitions except /proc, /sys and the like. | 12:37 |
| DrManhattan | oops I guess not | 12:37 |
| ohir | Dvyjones: ah, I see. its vm setup. So your vm provider may run out of space, not you :) | 12:38 |
| arthalion7 | mmm... now I'm using 10.04, no issues with 9.10 | 12:38 |
| shauno | Dvyjones: the only other thing I can think of that would cause that, is that there's a limit to how many files can actually exist. if you've had something 'explode' and create millions of empty files, you can exhaust that limit before you run out of actual space to house them | 12:38 |
| arthalion7 | all the other radiostation are correctly loaded | 12:39 |
| yajohny | ola | 12:39 |
| erUSUL | shauno: the error would be too many file descriptors open or some such | 12:40 |
| yajohny | any idea about playing bluray iso from hdd? | 12:40 |
| shauno | erUSUL: that isn't just having too many actually open? I haven't hit either limit, I just know it exists :) | 12:40 |
| erUSUL | yajohny: tried maplyer and vlc ? | 12:41 |
| yajohny | erUSUL: yes, but dont work | 12:41 |

| Dr_Willis | vlc file.iso plays mine here | 12:44 |
| Dvyjones | df -i says that I'm out of inodes, so I think I have too many files. | 12:44 |
| shauno | Archana: at a guess, I'd presume you only have one 'virtual desktop' in Workspace Switcher, so it's trying to wrap that one into a 3d form. you should be able to add more in switcher's preferences | 12:45 |
| raidgh0st | KenBW2-laptop: Can i PM You? | 12:45 |
| Archana | shauno, I actually deleted the default switcher. And now i added it again .. But right clicking on it, does not show "preferences" ?? | 12:46 |
| shauno | Archana: my mistake, apparently it's changed since I last looked. "when Compiz is enabled, you change the number of desktops from within the advanced management console, under the General section" | 12:46 |
| philinux | Archana: Effect>cube reflection and deformation > deformation set to none | 12:46 |
| shauno | (I don't actually use it, just seems like a sane reason for a cylinder) | 12:46 |

| Archana | philinux, there is no "preferences" on workspace switcher :( | 12:50 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| Dr_Willis | right click on teh workspace switcher here. I got a preferacnes as the first menu item | 12:50 |
| philinux | Archana: you need compizconfig-settingsmanager installed | 12:50 |
| Archana | philinux, it is already installed. | 12:50 |
| philinux | Archana: look in the Effects section | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | used to be ages ago you jhad to use the compiz tools to set the workspaces #. but now a days the gnome workspace switcher also works to set the # of them | 12:51 |
| Archana | philinux, No, I disabled the cylinder . | 12:51 |
| coz_ | you can also set shadows in gconf for all windows for compiz which then can be changed under the window decoration plugin | 12:51 |
| Archana | philinux, but now, it's not the cube.. But like a pyramid.... because i have three workspaces.. I want to add one more workspace. But right clicking on switcher does not show "preferences" | 12:52 |
| coz_ | Archana, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 12:52 |
| Archana | Dr_Willis, I don't get it :( | 12:52 |

| philinux | Archana: Under General>General option. Desktop size | 12:53 |
| coz_ | Archana, ok open ccsm go to general options / general desktop size tab | 12:53 |

| Dr_Willis | I got a Pentagon :) | 12:54 |
| coz_ | Archana, in compiz there is only "one" desktop | 12:54 |
| Archana | coz_, ok. Now it's a cube.. | 12:54 |
| scriptwarlock | hello is this a geometry channel? | 12:54 |
| coz_ | Archana, now if you use desktop wall instead of desktop cube then under the Desktop size tab the other slider would be enabled | 12:55 |
| scriptwarlock | harharhar | 12:55 |
| Archana | coz_, Dr_Willis , philinux other than Compiz, is there any visual effects ? | 12:55 |
| coz_ | Archana, many !!! yes | 12:55 |
| coz_ | Archana, did you also install the experimental plugins? | 12:55 |
| Archana | coz_, No. How to ? Want to. | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Cube Reflection and Deformatuion - i think enavbles the cylinder cube feature | 12:56 |

| coz_ | Archana, right click it go to properties then permissions tab and tick the executable box | 12:56 |

| Dr_Willis | Paulecas: when i last used conky. I had to make a script that waited like 20 sec.. then started conky. and had gnome autostart that script | 12:58 |
| coz_ | Archana, ok no problem | 12:59 |
| ljsoftnet | why does netbeans, for C# dont have "Target GTK# version: " its empty, when creating new C# solution? | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Paulecas: tjhat way gnome was set up and going and conky dident confuse thingz | 12:59 |
| Paulecas | Dr_Willis, ok, i'll try that | 12:59 |

| dizital | ikonia: during the installation both cards showed up and i just picked the eth0 for dhcp and i was going to use eth1 for my internal network connected to a switch | 13:11 |
| ikonia | melroy: fakeraid has very poor support in Linux, and in my opinion personally, it's a bad technology in general | 13:11 |
| ikonia | !fakeraid > melroy | 13:12 |
| ubottu | melroy, please see my private message | 13:12 |
| ikonia | dizital: what make/model is the pci card that's not being seen | 13:12 |

| melroy | ikonia: how do you know for use it's not hardware raid or software raid | 13:14 |

| melroy | ikonia: You know if fakeraid can work anyway with my model? Please say yes .. :( | 13:16 |
| ikonia | melroy: read the pm ubottu sent you. Fakeraid in general on linux is very poor. In my personal opinion fakeraid is a bad technology totally. | 13:17 |
| yajohny | noob^3: works :) but it is slideshow :) | 13:17 |
| melroy | Ok thanks for your support, I really appreciate it | 13:17 |

| MaRk-I | karan: unetbootin | 13:19 |
| ikonia | dizital: if eth1 shows up with no address, it means it's not configured | 13:19 |
| scriptwarlock | karan: you can use unetbootin or startup disk creator | 13:19 |
| ikonia | dizital: you need to configure the card to have an ip address or use dhcp | 13:19 |
| ikonia | dizital: so the good news is, the card is recognised and working, and just needs configuring | 13:19 |
| dizital | ikonia: I'm on 2 different machines, when i type that command in, it showed the eth0 and eth1 but eth1 did not have any address | 13:20 |
| ikonia | dizital: read what I said to you | 13:20 |
| dizital | ikonia: I was typing when u must have sent that | 13:21 |
| scriptwarlock | karan: but first you must rip it with brasero | 13:21 |
| ikonia | dizital: type "/last ikonia" or /last dizital" as I used your name | 13:21 |
| dizital | ikonia: what does that do? | 13:22 |
| dizital | ikonia:i type it and it did nothing | 13:22 |
| ikonia | dizital: configure the network card | 13:22 |
| ikonia | dizital: you typed what ? | 13:22 |
| scriptwarlock | pinoyskull: gud evening | 13:24 |
| dizital | when i type it in on the other computer it just said -bash: /last ni such file or directory | 13:24 |
| dizital | my other machine is called nurv | 13:24 |
| dizital | so i type in /last nurv | 13:24 |
| ikonia | dizital: no, in the irc window you type that in so you can see what I said to you | 13:24 |
| pinoyskull | scriptwarlock, yo, gud evening to you too | 13:25 |
| scriptwarlock | pinoyskull: hows our place? | 13:25 |
| dizital | ikonia: i did that too and nothing happen so i thought u meant my other computer lol | 13:25 |
| pinoyskull | scriptwarlock, you mean RP | 13:25 |
| ikonia | dizital: exactly what command did you type into the irc window ? | 13:25 |
| scriptwarlock | pinoyskull: yep | 13:25 |

| abhi_nav | ikonia, ok thanks | 13:28 |
| scheschi84 | hello | 13:28 |
| ikonia | dizital: basically the good news is, ifconfig shows the card, just as unconfigured, so you just have to configure it to have an ip or use dhcp | 13:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest38385 | ||
| dizital | ikonia: whats the best way to configure the card? | 13:29 |

| alienkid10 | when I update GRUB (though update manager or synaptic) does it automattically reinstall the MBR/Bootloader? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | alienkid10: no | 13:34 |
| alienkid10 | ok | 13:34 |
| dizital | ikonia: Ok thats to easy then, thanx for all your help and patience | 13:34 |
| ikonia | dizital: no problem | 13:35 |
| alienkid10 | ikonia: because my hdd which it's installed to moves from sdb to sdc sometimes | 13:35 |
| philinux | KnightStalker: If internet not working then use a chroot from livecd to reinstall. The link shows how to set up a chroot. http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html | 13:36 |
| alienkid10 | so didn't want to update and put GRUB on something else | 13:36 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: use UUID instead | 13:36 |
| alienkid10 | UUID? | 13:36 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: using /dev/sda and so on is very.. bad | 13:36 |
| alienkid10 | how to change? | 13:36 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: yeah, type sudo blkid in terminal | 13:36 |
| alienkid10 | k | 13:37 |
| fructose | why would this be happening... Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 13:37 |
| alienkid10 | then instead of /dev/sdb(or c) use? | 13:37 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: every partition get its own uniqie ID, better to use that instead of that device based thingy | 13:37 |
| philinux | fructose: enable the partner repo in sys>admin>software sources | 13:37 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: what do you want to do? | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | fructose, open your package manager and eb | 13:37 |
| alienkid10 | make sure GRUB doesn't accidently install to my SD card during an update | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | fructose enable canonical partners | 13:38 |
| karan | i hve a single drive on my netbook..in which currently windows is been installed so can i install 10.04 in the same partition | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | ok , enuf cooks :) | 13:38 |
| ubuntu | Hi all. How to reinstall grub2 from live CD? | 13:38 |
| Fougner | alienkid10: hmm, well GRUB shouldn't write to MBR during upgrades afaik | 13:38 |

| KnightStalker | philinux,the link you provided was about grub2 oO | 13:40 |
| dicodewani | philinux: it doesnt mount even if try - the super-block is corrupted apparently | 13:41 |

| dicodewani | how can i force fsck to run on a drive which it claims is mounted (but isnt) [from livecd] | 13:44 |

| dicodewani | ^ could this be because livecd is using the swap? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: check | 13:44 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: but you don't fsck swap anyway | 13:44 |
| dicodewani | ikonia: im pretty sure it isnt, teh drive is corrupted | 13:44 |

| wsfulton | hi, are there any known network problems with Firefox/Thunderbird in lucid? The network seems okay with other applications, eg Update Manager, ping and even Chromium works fine. However Firefox can't browse anything. I've tried both a brand new install and the LiveCD on this one computer. Networking was working fine on the pc before upgrading. | 13:47 |
| ikonia | wsfulton: check it's in "online" mode | 13:48 |
| karan | ikonia..i want to dual boot my netbook | 13:48 |
| ikonia | karan: yes, I understand that | 13:48 |
| wsfulton | ikonia, yes it is online. Strangely, if I browse to some sites using Chromium, it will then work in Firefox | 13:49 |
| KnightStalker | philinux,yes,I am sure | 13:50 |
| scriptwarlock | karan: if you have more space for dual boot then go ahead | 13:50 |

| KnightStalker | philinux,no,I just booted the normal way and putted the cd later | 13:51 |

| dicodewani | ikonia: its not showing up as mounted in 'places' | 13:52 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: ok, that doesn't mean it's not mounted | 13:52 |

| noob^3 | why not? | 13:58 |
| dicodewani | ikonia: gives me nothing - also tried sudo fuser /dev/sda1 | 13:59 |

| iceman_3233 | hello | 14:02 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: sdb is a device, not a partition | 14:02 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: you need to fsck a partition | 14:02 |
| MaRk-I | ACameron: look at those repos and if they say gutsy select them click "edit" and change gutsy for lucid | 14:02 |
| ACameron | ikonia: menu.lst is a symptom, not a problem. sources.list incoming. | 14:02 |
| ikonia | ACameron: I made a typo saying menu.lst | 14:02 |
| ACameron | MaRk-I: Yes, I did that. Every single checked repository did not say "gutsy". | 14:02 |
| dicodewani | ikonia: aah, ok. so how would i go about fixing this drive then? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | dicodewani: fsck the partition | 14:03 |

| ACameron | ikonia: I'm not familiar with lsb_release. What should I do? | 14:13 |
| MaRk-I | did you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 then 10.04? | 14:14 |
| shauno | ACameron: 7.10 translates to october 2007. that's the clue | 14:14 |

| bhalash | nhck: Gimpshop? Eh. I'm gonna wait on 2.7 | 14:39 |
| cement_head | exaile is also very good music player | 14:40 |
| helloer | Hello, why i have alert "ubuntu is running in low resolution" on startup? When i select "restart x server" all works but without mouse - i have ubuntu 10.04 | 14:40 |
| maco | nhck, bhalash: using gimpshop makes it say you cant follow tutorials anymore though as everything's moved. also you need an old outdated version of gimp | 14:40 |
| cement_head | listen is also good | 14:40 |
| bhalash | nhck: Yeah, I use it professionally. My gripes with the Gimp boil down to how it handles utility dialogs rather than the whole thing | 14:40 |
| glib | cement_head, can you browse visually (cover art) with rhythmbox? | 14:40 |
| bhalash | glib: Yeah. I've been messing with it. Let me throw you a howto from my blog | 14:40 |
| cement_head | http://www.listen-project.org/ | 14:40 |
| glib | cool | 14:40 |
| erkan^ | THe Gimp install on Ubuntu now | 14:40 |
| glib | cement_head, thanks | 14:41 |
| cement_head | Yes, you can, you need to install some plugins: http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty | 14:41 |
| nhck | IMetaphysikz_: why are you using cifs on that? | 14:41 |
| cement_head | Listen has been in active development and is coming along nicely | 14:41 |
| maco | erkan^: it has separate toolbox windows, just like photoshop on a mac does, but the menus and such are less confusing (IMO) than photoshop and overall about the same complexity level as PSP | 14:42 |
| bhalash | glib: http://bit.ly/d2aicf | 14:42 |
| erkan^ | what is IMO, maco? | 14:42 |
| maco | erkan^: in my opinion | 14:43 |
| erkan^ | ok | 14:43 |

| wonderboy | i have some 2.5gb unallocated space got by deleting a logical partition, the os is installed on sda1 which is ext4 and i guess its primary too. so now i am on a live cd, looking to grow the primary ext4 partition to take over the unallocated space. | 14:43 |
| === STiK is now known as BDsLoveGoat | ||
| IMetaphysikz_ | nhck: I don't really know I've just seen examples where people have been using cifs and information saying about another command that's depricated | 14:43 |
| wonderboy | can i do that with gparted? | 14:43 |
| maco | erkan^: im heading offline now | 14:43 |
| erkan^ | ok see you laters maco (Y) | 14:44 |
| wonderboy | not seeing any "grow" option for ext4 and resize cannot grow more than its size | 14:44 |
| cement_head | I use GParted LiveCD for that type of adjustment | 14:44 |
| nhck | IMetaphysikz_: hmm I was just guessing since you are mounting from windows you could also use smbfs? | 14:44 |
| wonderboy | cement_head: i have gparted installed on this live cd | 14:45 |
| nhck | IMetaphysikz_: would of course require samba , sambafs to beinstalled | 14:45 |
| nhck | !smbfs | IMetaphysikz_ | 14:46 |
| wonderboy | also i see on "information" that grow is supported for ext4 just that i don't know where the option for "grow" is on gparted.. | 14:46 |

| gelan | wonderboy, since u deleted a logical, you need to move the other logicals to the right and finally the extended partition. Then increase sda1. Please make backups before the move. | 14:47 |

| manoj | guys i have a major problem been seeking help for one full day. | 14:50 |
| yusef-fathi | hi | 14:50 |
| wonderboy | gelan: i don't have any other partitions on the disc than swap and unallocated space.. i just deleted the swap too, now i can see that i can delete the whole extended partition (which is now full of free space) | 14:50 |
| nhck | !fstab | grimobile | 14:50 |
| ubottu | grimobile: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:50 |
| wonderboy | gelan: i should just continue and delete the extended and then grow ext4 right? | 14:50 |
| gelan | melroy, I think you should have used a partition having ext4 and then used that for raid. | 14:50 |
| nhck | !ask | manoj | 14:50 |
| ubottu | manoj: 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. :-) | 14:50 |
| yusef-fathi | i have installed ubuntu and now i do not have connection to the internet | 14:50 |
| manoj | i have problems with sound with my sony vaio laptop. so i reinstalled it once again today and configured my sound but still i am not getting the sound | 14:50 |
| melroy | gelan: so first manual then config. software raid? | 14:51 |
| yusef-fathi | but when i have installed fedora the connection has come back | 14:51 |
| yusef-fathi | and i want to install ubuntu now | 14:51 |
| gelan | wonderboy, right. swap can always be recreated later. So just delete it and extended and grow the primary. Just keep extended in mind for later use. | 14:51 |
| yusef-fathi | if you have any solution | 14:51 |
| manoj | i upgraded alsa to the latest drivers too with the help of a tutor online | 14:51 |
| yusef-fathi | please | 14:51 |
| francois | manoj maybe you need a specific kernel module for the vaio, if you do a lspci can you find your sound card in the listing ? | 14:52 |
| gelan | melroy, i would have gone that way. First partition manually however u want and then set up raid. | 14:52 |
| nhck | !enter | yusef-fathi | 14:52 |
| ubottu | yusef-fathi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:52 |
| melroy | gelan: in that case I need to config. LVM too | 14:52 |
| oCean_ | yusef-fathi: there are lots of issues, and lots of causes. So the channel would need details like hardware info, and everything you tried so far. | 14:53 |
| gelan | melroy, lvm is on top of raid right? | 14:53 |
| melroy | gelan: I hope so >< | 14:53 |
| oCean_ | yusef-fathi: besides that, if you're at Fedora at this moment, it would be hard to help you out | 14:53 |
| yusef-fathi | no | 14:54 |
| yusef-fathi | i am in windows now | 14:54 |
| yusef-fathi | but i want to install ubuntu now | 14:54 |
| oCean_ | yusef-fathi: if you want us to help with ubuntu, better first install ubuntu | 14:55 |
| LinuxPhreak | Is it possible to do network installation from shared hosting server instad of server on my LAN? If so how would I do this? | 14:55 |
| oCean_ | !sound > yusef-fathi | 14:55 |
| ubottu | yusef-fathi, please see my private message | 14:55 |
| yusef-fathi | but i do not have any connection with ubuntu | 14:55 |
| melroy | gelan: uhm i think not | 14:55 |
| francois | yusef fathi: download the cd, burn it and follow the instructions ! | 14:55 |
| Misterio | yusef-fathi: Have you tried enabling it with NetworkManager? | 14:55 |
| Kruptein | to upload packages to my ppa I need dput, I use lucid lynx, and I can't find a way to install dput | 14:56 |
| yusef-fathi | yeah | 14:56 |
| wonderboy | gelan: that was a good test for gparted:) deleted the swap left in extended partition, to make it full of unallocated space, then deleted the whole extended partition and then allowed ext4 to grow fully, but after that i remembered of swap. so i shrink the partition and took a 1gb space and created swap there:) now on to restart:) | 14:56 |
| melroy | gelan: because i can select: how to use this partion, physical volume for RAID or .. for LVM | 14:56 |
| wonderboy | see you in a moment. | 14:56 |
| DarkStar1 | I'm trying to burn a Video DVD disk yet Brasero claims it needs a plugin that can't be found on synaptic | 14:57 |
| gelan | melroy, I was thinking of setting up raid first. Get that to work and use those md0, md1 devices for setting up lvm. | 14:57 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 14:57 |
| DarkStar1 | (mplex) anyone had this issue? | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | !Medibuntu | DarkStar1 | 14:57 |
| IMetaphysikz | still no joy with mounting :( - I can get the mount graphically but i'm eventually going to write a bash script to cron tar's the windows share | 14:57 |
| ubottu | DarkStar1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 14:57 |
| yusef-fathi | i will install ubuntu now | 14:57 |
| yusef-fathi | i will try it again | 14:58 |
| yusef-fathi | bye | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | DarkStar1, also install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 14:58 |
| DarkStar1 | BluesKaj: How do I find that?? | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | DarkStar1, in the package manager | 14:59 |
| DarkStar1 | BluesKaj: nvm.. stupid question | 14:59 |
| DarkStar1 | BluesKaj: Thanks, I'll look into medibuntu now | 15:00 |
| gelan | Does anyone know if search.mod gets called by the embedded core.img in grub2 during a normal ubuntu desktop install? | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | DarkStar1, also enable the canonical partner and third party sources in the package manager | 15:00 |
| LinuxPhreak | I'm trying to install ubuntu iso image from the mitmedia labs mirror. My goal is to install it without ever having to download it. Is it possible to boot off of that location | 15:00 |
| Flynsarmy | Why when i log in to FTP with a un/pw does it say 'Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply' ? | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxPhreak proberly not. | 15:01 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxPhreak: you could set up a netboot thing. but i dont think that would work from some arbitary site/server | 15:01 |
| LinuxPhreak | Dr. Willis how about if I had access to shared hosting account. My client needs it to be public | 15:02 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxPhreak: to 'netboot' you need a very specific kind of server/setup | 15:02 |
| DarkStar1 | BluesKaj: can't find the option to enable 3rd party sources atm but will keep looking | 15:03 |
| LinuxPhreak | I was afraid it wasn't possible. I know about netbooting on LAN. And wasn't sure if it was possible to setup the same thing on shared plan | 15:03 |
| IMetaphysikz | Darkstar: sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxPhreak: ive seen some disrtos in the past that could do it.. but they had special servers to handle it | 15:03 |
| melroy | gelan: so, to be complete: You just install 1 partion (ext4) and let it first work using RAID, after that configure VLM, so you can create a swap partition | 15:04 |
| LinuxPhreak | Dr_Willis: is it still called netboot if it is public like that? Maybe I can do some research | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | DarkStar1, sorry I should have typed "other sources" | 15:06 |
| Kruptein | How do you install dput? | 15:06 |
| Kruptein | I have to use it for uploading to a ppa, but it is not installed although I'm using lucid | 15:07 |

| abhi_nav | sudo apt-get install dput , Kruptein ? | 15:08 |
| Kruptein | abhi_nav: yes ofcourse I tried that, but it said there was no candidate | 15:08 |
| IMetaphysikz | Kruptein: be back later | 15:08 |
| Kruptein | ah sorrr :p thought you answered me, nevermind | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxPhreak: i seem torecall some disrto ages ago that had a option where you entered some username/pass and it booted the kernle and a minimal system from cd, then got the rest from the internet. I forget what disrto it even was | 15:08 |
| gelan | melroy, it need not be just 1. could be more but on multiple devices. | 15:08 |
| abhi_nav | sudo aptitude install dput , Kruptein ? | 15:08 |
| Kruptein | abhi_nav: :D also tried that earlier, just tried it again, but also doesn't work | 15:09 |
| abhi_nav | Kruptein, :( | 15:09 |
| abhi_nav | !find dput | 15:09 |

| LinuxPhreak | thanx | 15:10 |

| Kruptein | if I just copy paste the command that launchpad suggests: I get: dput not installed, install it by doing: sudo apt-get install dput; if I do that I get no packet dput :f | 15:13 |
| Kruptein | oCean_: with release you mean distro? | 15:14 |
| Kruptein | Lucid Lynx | 15:14 |
| oCean_ | Kruptein: So, 10.04, same here. dput should be installed by default (though the other commands i suggested should work too) Are you sure there is no /usr/bin/dput? | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | francois: last i used it.. it wasent quite the same. but ibe tried so many disrtos over the years.. its scary | 15:15 |

| nicofs | MaRk-I: that's not the one i installed... i guess it's the old one... i didn't check what the old one was... | 15:43 |
| jason123 | nicofs go here http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/New_kernel_on_Ubuntu_10.04 << read that page | 15:43 |
| Ichat | if you have such, you may want to run the driver tool found in start > configuration panel > hardware drivers | 15:43 |
| oCean_ | dizital: try /usr/bin/nm-connection-editor (even though it's not in the menu at this point, I think you should be able to launch it that way) | 15:44 |
| jason123 | it tell you how to comply the new kernal | 15:44 |
| scriptwarlock | T34: pls post give som einfo on your machine | 15:44 |
| crow | Hi, i am trying to ingore loging of some stuff in dmesg but seems it doesnt work. i tried :msg, contains, "rcv_next" ~ in /etc/rsyslog.conf and restart from rsyslog but i still see that log in dmesg.. | 15:44 |
| arinda | Dr_Willis, no. just in console. | 15:44 |
| fredsa | Ichat, I see. In that case my lsmod is probably correct as it references ndiswrapper | 15:45 |
| nicofs | jason123: i can't see how that manual helps me... i have got a kernel and kernel headers as *.deb... i do not want to make my own kernel... | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | nicofs: if you got the .debs then install them. | 15:46 |
| Ichat | fredsa - if you have a b43 (broadcom based wlan adaptor) and you are running 10.04 LTS - you probably want to try and go to /usr/share/local repositrory/ and find the b43 **** sta package there and install it by right click | 15:46 |
| nicofs | dr_Willis: i did. | 15:46 |
| terry | I have an hd video can I turn that into normal? | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: clarify what you mean/want to do. | 15:47 |
| scriptwarlock | terry:??? | 15:47 |
| nicofs | Dr_Willis: sudo dpkg -i name.deb - or was that wrong?? | 15:47 |
| dizital | oCean: I went to nm and it doesn't even want to open up to get to connection-editor | 15:47 |
| serengeti | hi, I have a dual monitor setup with a Radeon HD2600 and the latest fglrx drivers from the x-updates ppa and the weird thing is that only one monitor responds to gamma adjustments | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | nicofs: or 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb' | 15:48 |
| terry | I dont have a system which can play hd videos | 15:48 |
| fredsa | Ichat, I followed your first advice and went into hardware drivers. The driver is now installed and wireless works, thanks | 15:48 |
| MaRk-I | dizital: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: mencoder/ffmpeg can reencode video to other formats/res/codecs | 15:48 |
| terry | But I have downloaded a hd video | 15:48 |
| nicofs | Dr_Willis: after that command, it did install kernel and headers. so i guess the command was correct... | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: or front ends to those programs. | 15:48 |
| Ichat | fredsa - yw | 15:48 |
| serengeti | I've tried catalyst control center and xgamma. Any ideas? | 15:48 |

| jlilly` | I'm on 10.04, how can I disable windows disappearing when I do alt+tab. I don't want to preview the window. | 15:49 |

| scriptwarlock | terry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD | 15:50 |
| terry | So it is no longer hd? | 15:50 |
| xangua | jlilly`: disappearing¿¿ | 15:50 |
| jlilly` | xangua: when I do alt+tab, it hides all other windows besides the one currently selected in the switcher. I don't want the preview. | 15:50 |
| MaRk-I | dizital: this one might look easier, you can try both heh http://linuxservertutorials.blogspot.com/2008/11/ubuntu-ifconfig-static-ip.html | 15:51 |
| xangua | jlilly`: if you install ccsm (compiz setting maager) you can configure your plugins, maybe you can disable them | 15:51 |
| dizital | MaRk-I: lol ty ill try the 2nd one first then | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: reccode it to be a lower res video. | 15:52 |
| nophis | what mp3 player are you using? | 15:53 |
| terry | How Dr_Willis? | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: with 'ffmpeg' or 'mencoder' or front endsx to those programs - like i said earlier | 15:54 |

| Dr_Willis | terry: as is winff, and avidemux, theres other convertion tools out also. | 15:55 |
| crow | any expert with rsyslog and filter function? | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: ffmpeg -i $FILE_NAME -f avi -r 29.97 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -s 640x360 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1800k -b 1500k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -flags +4mv -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2 $OUTFILE | 15:55 |
| jlilly` | xangua: thx. I just changed to the other switcher which seems to be better. thx. | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | There ya go | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | converts to a xvid 640x360 res video | 15:55 |
| joshdreamland | How do I access a networked disk drive? | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: depends on how its 'networked' | 15:56 |
| joshdreamland | 'Shared' from Windows | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: Places --> connect to server. is one way to access a 'windows share' | 15:57 |
| joshdreamland | Nice, thanks kindly. | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: or you can enter the full path to the share in the nautilus address bar. smb://servername/sharename | 15:58 |
| joshdreamland | Very cool. | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: or the 'network' icon :) such a logical name. | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | some times they even work! :) | 15:58 |
| Ichat | lol - i allmost smell a troll :P lolz | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | accessing windows shares just seems to get more and more complex as times go on. | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | To many new security settings i guess. :) | 15:59 |
| aaront1988 | my Hd TV isn't recognising my laptop although my laptop see's im connected to a TV, via HDMI any ideas how to get it working? | 15:59 |
| Ichat | Dr_Willis: - yah - we should revert to pynetnaibourhoud - back in the days when things was simple :P | 16:00 |
| spiky_ | Dr_Willis: I think your doing very well | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: i had that 'fusesmb' working great for ages... then suddendly.. it dont work no moar. :( | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: well suddendly as in 2 releases ago.. and never gotten fixed since. :) | 16:00 |
| Ichat | lol - you should have installed NFS on your windows box, - thats what i did for ages | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: i found smb4k very handy in the good old days also. | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: where did you even find nfs for windows? | 16:01 |
| joshdreamland | Dr_Willis: Would you happen to know if sharing the drive gives me burn access? I checked "full access" from the Windows box. But Ubuntu reports that it failed to mount Windows share. | 16:01 |
| Ichat | lol stucked way deep in unix services for windows (windows NT 4 / windows server 2000 - you could easy run them in the desktop versions too | 16:02 |
| Kream | in dpkg --list, some packages are prefixed with "rc" while most are prefixed with "ii". what does "rc" mean? | 16:02 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: you are shareing a optical drive and want to Burn with it? it dosent work that way | 16:02 |
| Ichat | though it wasn't all to stable i can tell you | 16:02 |
| terry | No help Sir | 16:02 |
| Melio | Kream, rc usually means release canidate | 16:02 |
| joshdreamland | Shame. | 16:02 |
| joshdreamland | I assumed since it worked with printers, it'd work with a drive. | 16:02 |
| terry | No help Sir | 16:03 |
| Kream | Melio: i know, but does this mean the same thing with respect to dpkg --list ? | 16:03 |
| Melio | kream that i don't know | 16:03 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: printers are actually being shared in a special way. and using 'cups' to do the work. | 16:03 |
| joshdreamland | Is there a way to pull this off short of email macros? :P | 16:03 |
| xxiao_ | mysql performed worse on LTS10.04 than 8.04? I have a drupal, now the database is really slow | 16:03 |
| terry | System Cant find that file | 16:03 |
| joshdreamland | Dr_Willis: Is there such a method for optical drives? | 16:03 |
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: never noticed.. never tried. | 16:03 |
| Ichat | joshdreamland: - no there is NOT | 16:03 |
| joshdreamland | Well, thanks anyway | 16:04 |
| === Leif is now known as Leif_afk | ||
| Dr_Willis | joshdreamland: you could just make machine 1 - 'burn' to some file.iso then transfer the iso file over to the other box. then burn that to the optiocal drive | 16:04 |
| joshdreamland | Ichat: Never say never | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall some services/features in nero ? that let you access a remote optical -but that was a special case | 16:04 |
| scriptwarlock | joshdreamland: what i have trie don my cyber shop is burning an audio but that was ubuntu as my host | 16:04 |
| joshdreamland | Hmmm. | 16:04 |
| joshdreamland | See, the idea behind this is that the network speed won't be far behind the write speed | 16:05 |
| shauno | Kream: that's packages which have been configured, but removed. if you dpkg --list | head 3 you'll see the descriptions for those columns | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | You could set up a special dir on a remote server with an optical drive. that burns any new .iso files it sees copied to the dir... but thats a little overkill :) | 16:05 |
| joshdreamland | Yes, but there're a hundred ways to overkill this one | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | My burnspeeds are often faster then my network transfer speeds :) | 16:06 |
| terry | System Cant find that file | 16:06 |
| joshdreamland | Nice | 16:06 |
| Ichat | Dr_Willis: - true, - so you need full buffer-cash before burn :P | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: thats what copying the whole iso over to the remote box first would do. :) | 16:07 |
| Ichat | true | 16:07 |
| scriptwarlock | tery: cant vlc handles the hd video playback? | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc can play HD video here.. but it depends on my cpu/gpu/machine. if i can play hd video back at a proper rate. | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | I have to convert most HD video to play back properly in my little old netbook. | 16:07 |
| scriptwarlock | unless he tweaks | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | it can 'almost' do HD video. :) but every so often it will lag. | 16:08 |
| Ichat | Dr_Willis: - downscaling to 720p would do it for nearly all current (last 3 yr hardware) | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: it also depended on the codec. I toyed with it and found xvid at the higher res worked.. but h264 (i think) was a bit too much | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to just convert down to the native res of the netbook screen , and xvid. and leave it at that. | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | convert, watch once.. delet the converted video.. :) | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | I got the main server set up to 'queue' up the conversions of files. | 16:09 |
| Ichat | i run 720p on an fx5900 P4 2.2ghz 1gb ram (win xp just fine) - - wish it was xbmc but need a new vga card first | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | My Little netbook isent that big a powerhouse. :) | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | but the new chipsets and netbooks in the works/out now. i hear are a lot better. | 16:10 |
| disse | heyho | 16:10 |
| Ichat | Dr_Willis: - if you want power - and Media ...... consider iON | 16:11 |
| scriptwarlock | awtz hd video lags on vlc not good... needs to lower down | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Ichat: saveing my $ for Xmas. :) supposed to be lots of new cool things out by Dec. | 16:11 |

| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp: you mean a serial port mouse? or a PS2 mouse? | 16:13 |
| ineedhelp | Serial port | 16:13 |
| Ichat | well - appart from the lack of sata and thus the lack of Blu ray | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ineedhelp: it should work. but youi may need to manuall;y load the proper modules. | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | serial mouse = old skool. :) | 16:14 |
| ineedhelp | I can't find any PS2 or USB mouses. | 16:14 |

| wizard_ | DarkStar1, same as me then you need the java install | 16:32 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, you also need the flash install that should cover it for you | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | jose: that's not too much. use Aplications>Admin..>to see where the space is "wasted" | 16:33 |
| DarkStar1 | wizard_: flash is installed. but checking synaptic now. seems I'm missing Java | 16:33 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, goto the software centre and look for nes | 16:33 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, install the java thats the issue | 16:34 |
| DarkStar1 | wizard_: know which one I should be looking for? | 16:34 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, also just found a roms site to download the roms to the computer | 16:34 |
| wizard_ | snes | 16:34 |

| DarkStar1 | wizard_: what's the link | 16:34 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, for what ? | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | jose: no aplications>accesories>disk use analizer | 16:35 |
| DarkStar1 | wizard_: the site with downloadable ROMS | 16:35 |
| padhu | what is lock /unlock in fire starter, firewall application? | 16:35 |

| Nir | Hello everyone, I've created an Ubuntu 10.04 live-usb and am attempting to load. I see the bootup process running but when the X-server should display graphics, my monitor just loses signal instead. what can I do in order to correct this? | 16:36 |
| wizard_ | DarkStar1, I'll send the link | 16:36 |
| scriptwarlock | padhu: locks blocks all connections---- unlocks opens all connections... | 16:36 |
| jose | erUSUL:total file system capacity: 471.9 GB. Total filesystem usage: 152.1 GB | 16:36 |
| padhu | scriptwarlock: everything? | 16:37 |
| scriptwarlock | padhu: yes | 16:37 |
| erUSUL | jose: so what is complaining about no space left ? | 16:37 |
| windmill | Hello, I've attempted to resize my windows partition and install ubuntu but I now have overlapping partitions and an unbootable XP... anyone know how to fix overlapping partitions? | 16:37 |
| jose | erUSUL: started this morning. got error message that i was running out of space | 16:37 |
| scriptwarlock | padhu: try to lock and surf | 16:37 |
| bergLNX | well, restart worked :p | 16:38 |
| scriptwarlock | padhu: i mean surf the web | 16:38 |
| padhu | scriptwarlock: oh, i thought that It locks for editing firewall rules, :-) | 16:38 |
| jose | erUSUL: checked properties of filesystem flder. says only 3.2GB of space available. it makes no sense to me | 16:38 |
| padhu | scriptwarlock: thanks, :-) | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | jose: it may be a filsystem error. pass a fsck tro the partition | 16:39 |
| scriptwarlock | bergLNX: observe your hardware if somthing comes up or make some test on your lappy | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | jose: it may be a filesystem error. pass a fsck to the partition | 16:39 |
| scriptwarlock | padhu: your welcome | 16:39 |
| jose | erUSUL: what's the terminal command for that? | 16:39 |
| jose | erUSUL: I love the terminal | 16:39 |
| Nir | Does anyone know what I need to do in order for Ubuntu 10.04 live-usb load properly? right now there is sound when it finishes loading but there's no video. my monitor just loses signal when the X should start. | 16:39 |
| bergLNX | Question though: What are you suppose to do here in Linux when things stop responding? Is there a way to list and kill unresponding processes? | 16:40 |
| D-coy | :D o/ all | 16:40 |
| erUSUL | jose: easiest way if it is the root partition is to do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot. the fsck will pass during boot | 16:40 |
| bergLNX | scriptwarlock: I cant see how hardware should stop me from minimizing and closing windows... | 16:40 |
| erUSUL | jose: the other way is to use a livecd becouse mounted partitions can not be checked | 16:40 |
| D-coy | bergLNX, sudo pkill -9 <process> | 16:40 |
| scriptwarlock | bergLNX: more ways to kill :) .. aprocess | 16:41 |
| yusef | hi | 16:42 |
| Pirolocito | hi yusef | 16:42 |
| bergLNX | D-coy: But how do I figure which process thats not responding, and how do I get to a terminal if my mouse keyboard is locked (like within a game)? | 16:42 |
| scriptwarlock | bergLNX: and sometimes you can use killall (process), or pgrep or yes pkill -9 | 16:42 |
| padhu | jose: If you use terminal frequently, then install guake. Nice one, try it | 16:42 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon | 16:42 |
| D-coy | bergLNX, Ctrl + Alt F2 or 2 or 3, use tty | 16:42 |
| mcmprch | well it's still morning here! | 16:42 |
| Segaja | anybody? | 16:43 |

| macfire | skrite_ but i dont see option to install | 16:49 |
| skrite_ | are you running the live CD? | 16:50 |

| scriptwarlock | bergLNX: same | 16:51 |
| bergLNX | scriptwarlock: htop is a lot better though | 16:51 |
| jose | can anyone point me to a simple tutorial/walkthrough to fix my filesytem space running out problem? | 16:51 |
| scriptwarlock | bergLNX: top/htop are more detailed than ps -e | 16:52 |

| krisx | Hi, how to install 3com 3c905b on debian ? | 16:53 |
| jose | anyone? | 16:53 |
| macfire | skrite_ i dont | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Zenze: it does here. | 16:54 |
| macfire | skrite_ I can not because the video is that way | 16:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Zenze: theres some settings to enable/disable it. | 16:54 |
| skrite_ | macfire, when you try to boot from the CD, do you see any text on the screen? | 16:55 |
| skrite_ | macfire, what is the last thing you see before the computer goes blank? | 16:55 |
| macfire | skrite_ i see, but dont see all the window | 16:56 |
| Zenze | Dr_Willis: I know there is the setting in System>Preferences>Power Management, however I am curious if that has any effect if I am not logged in | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Zenze: my external usb hd's all spin down ive noticed. never really noticed the internals. (too quiet) | 16:56 |
| Zenze | Dr_Willis: Usually there is nobody logged into the box as its mainly used as a file server | 16:57 |
| edbian | Zenze, Since it's in the preferences menu and does not ask for a sudo or root password it most likely only is in effect while you are logged in. | 16:57 |
| edbian | Zenze, To apply system wide settings you need to be root. | 16:57 |

| julius_ | i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 yesterday, but now my firefox fonts are "screwed". does "sudo do-update-release" update to 10.04 or to the latest beta? according to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/firefox/+bug/512615 it should be fixed in 10.04 beta2 | 16:59 |

| gethoht | dizital: are you putting this box on a home network? cable modem fios or dsl? | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | julius_: 10.04 is out of beta.. so it would be final. | 17:00 |
| dizital | getohht: home network with cable modem | 17:00 |
| julius_ | Dr_Willis, so the firefox bug should be gone? | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | julius_: shiould be, try making a new user - see if it affects them. | 17:00 |
| julius_ | Dr_Willis, good idea | 17:01 |
| hylian | Dr_Willis remember my strange fstab problem. well this is probably not the right way to fix it, but i boted the live cd and copied over that fstab, and then re set up ntfs-config and whalla | 17:01 |
| dizital | gethoht:j/w cause i have the server right now, connected to the router on eth0 and eth1 connected to a switch with my labtop connected to that switch with a static ip address and it cannot connect to the internet but all my other computers have internet but they also connected to the router directly | 17:02 |

| 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! | 17:03 |
| toto__ | basically, "no signal" and the screen switches off... I suspect the boot being in ext2 and using the reiserfs for / /usr and /var but /home is in ext4... | 17:03 |
| toto__ | BluesKaj: NO I m not | 17:03 |
| toto__ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes | 17:03 |
| toto__ | it s as if grub was not seen | 17:04 |
| toto__ | or even not installed... dunna | 17:04 |
| toto__ | How can I install it? | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | toto__, try holding the shift key down when booting | 17:05 |
| hylian | toto_ that can happen, especially if one of your hd's is sda and the other is ide | 17:05 |
| gethoht | dizital: it should be setup like so .... Cable modem should be plugged into the "wan" port on your router, the switch should be connected to the "lan" part of your router and all the computers should plug into the switch | 17:05 |

| toto__ | from the release notes :) good. | 17:06 |
| toto__ | but still... | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | toto__, you didn't install windows on a separate partition after ubuntu ? I have to ask | 17:06 |
| toto__ | BluesKaj: i actually let a partition empty in case I needed it, but nothing installed right now | 17:07 |
| dizital | gethoht: ok I see what your talking about, the way i have currently connected is cable modem to router, server eth0 to router and server eth1 to switch with labtop to switch | 17:07 |

| toto__ | BluesKaj: No, I can t | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 17:10 |
| toto__ | could this be the sector problem on older machines? | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | toto__, you might have a hardware recognition problem ..not sure | 17:10 |

| tpw_rules | when i rebooted after installing ubuntu 10.04, my graphics card's resolution got reset to something higher than my monitor can handle. how can i fix this? | 17:24 |
| Tizemt | ls -a give me a single folder named: lost+found | 17:25 |
| Rene2 | do not i mean | 17:25 |
| Muscovy | tpw_rules: Can you still use your screen? | 17:25 |
| tpw_rules | no | 17:25 |
| Tizemt | please help! i have important files there | 17:25 |
| tpw_rules | i can get to grub, but after i select ubuntu, it starts over-driving the monitor | 17:25 |
| scriptwarlock | Rene2: and what do i mean you? hehehe i cant understand you my english there | 17:26 |
| tpw_rules | Muscovy: i can get to grub, but after i select ubuntu, it starts over-driving the monitor | 17:26 |

| PietroAgus | hi | 17:27 |

| evaryont | no one uses tin? :/ | 17:27 |
| abhi_nav | Tizemt, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 17:27 |
| Muscovy | tpw_rules: Did you by chance edit xorg.conf? You seem to have changed the global monitor settings if it can't even boot at normal resolution. | 17:27 |
| tpw_rules | Muscovy: nope | 17:28 |
| Tizemt | abhi_nav, i tried with no luck! | 17:28 |
| tpw_rules | Muscovy: i did install my graphics card's drivers though (FGLRX for my ATI card) | 17:28 |
| abhi_nav | Tizemt, I dont know! | 17:28 |
| choomra | abhi_nav: That doesn't support ext4. | 17:28 |
| Tizemt | i have ext3 | 17:28 |
| choomra | tizemt: nevermind then. | 17:28 |
| abhi_nav | choomra, oh I see | 17:28 |
| Muscovy | You could try removing the drivers. Have you used the command "chroot" before? | 17:29 |
| choomra | abhi_nav: Like he said, he didn't use ext4 anyway. | 17:29 |

| tdn | I use Ubuntun 10.04 LTS with encrypted home dirs. I had to do some maintenance including swapping of two users' UIDs and GIDs. So I did a deluser on the users and a delgroup on the groups. Then I created the users and groups again with the corrects UIDs/GIDs. Then I chowned all the users' files under /home/$USER and /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. Then I reset password with passwd $USER. But now the users cannot log in, thus cannot decrypt their files. What to d | 17:40 |

| toto__ | And there s a solution. Let me call it a WINDOWS solution: it seems to be related to a separated /var partition, so I should merge my partitions. ????? | 18:00 |
| scriptwarlock | Tizemt: a minute maybe Dr_Willis butsin about hidden/encrypte files in your partition | 18:00 |
| sekz | Its a wubi installation | 18:00 |
| toto__ | I think this is stupid and nonsense, and a CHEAPEST CHEAP CHEAP solution... | 18:01 |
| madsara | Dr_Willis: Last time I compared the two, XFCE was faster than Gnome... fluxbox was much quicker, but I kept adding xfce elements to it so I finally just went to xfce | 18:01 |

| trojan_spike | timothy_, whats the problem?? | 18:02 |
| msurovcak | hUIWE: i can't see any reason why it shouldn't | 18:02 |
| sekz | @hmmm shishire i686 =32 bit | 18:02 |
| trojan_spike | you get all your drivers installed and updates?? | 18:02 |
| sekz | X86_64 is 64 bit | 18:02 |
| Guest87684 | I did . . . good tip--but no one is there, really. Nor has there been the few times I've attempted. | 18:02 |
| toto__ | cause I like having split partitions, split disks, use parallel swaps, you know, those things performing well. Avoiding fleeding /var/logs making the / unusuble... | 18:03 |
| sekz | Also i cannot install 64 bit .debs! | 18:03 |
| andre_pl | I've been avoiding 64-bit distros for years due to reports of instability, lack of ported apps etc... and today I'm wondering if thats still a valid reason? should I be running a 64-bit linux? what are the advantages? | 18:03 |
| Lepodo | hey everyone | 18:03 |
| trojan_spike | very angry toto | 18:03 |
| SwedeMike | andre_pl: 64bit mostly works, it's non-free things like flash etc that doesn't work. | 18:03 |
| toto__ | I just can t beleive anyone here had the issue of not being able to boot after an install | 18:03 |
| shishire | andre_pl, I run 64 bit with no problems, even with 32 bit wine games, etc. | 18:03 |
| SwedeMike | andre_pl: or needs workarounds to work. | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_pl: its not really been a valid reason for quite some time.. (2+ yrs) | 18:04 |
| Guest87684 | msmtp works through the command line fine . . . but not through mutt | 18:04 |
| hUIWE | there is no 64bit version of netbook?:| | 18:04 |
| hUIWE | no? | 18:04 |
| switch10_ | andre_pl: the only advantage is you can use more than 3.5 gb of ram | 18:04 |
| Lepodo | i dont think so | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | hUIWE: ive never seen a 64bit netbook.. so there is no 64bit netbook iso. | 18:04 |
| Lepodo | most netbooks arent 64 bit | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | hUIWE: you can install the normal 64bit ubuntu . then isntall the netbook-desktop pacoages if you wanted | 18:04 |
| sekz | i am taking abt destop version! | 18:04 |
| trojan_spike | did u have any other windows installed on same partition?? might have been the mbr > win boot | 18:04 |
| io | Guest87684: Are you joining the right channel? There are 91 users in there at the moment. I didn't say that they would answer instantly, you will need to wait. | 18:05 |
| andre_pl | wow, many responses. So there really are no advantages to running 64-bit unless i have > 3.5G of ram? | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | 64bit gives more then just 'ram' it does speed up some of the tasks i do. (video reencoding) | 18:05 |
| hUIWE | ok thanks | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_pl: i find ther ARE advantages.. more speed for one | 18:05 |
| Guest87684 | Thanks io . . . I'll keep pecking. | 18:05 |
| SwedeMike | andre_pl: not usually, unless you have processes that need more than 2 gigs of ram for a single process | 18:05 |
| hUIWE | Dr_Willis: do u know of a nice netbook that we could use in kitchen? with no keyboard, just one face that is touch screen and doesnt look like a laptop.. just like a single monitor touch screen? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | 4+ hrs reencoding a video - any little gain helps :) i will stick with 64bit wjhenever possible | 18:06 |
| andre_pl | Dr_Willis: that is the kind of advantage I'm looking for. SwedeMike: I only have 2G of ram total, so that doesn't seem like a factor here. | 18:06 |
| SwedeMike | andre_pl: AES-NI (AES acceleration on newer intel processors) is a 64bit only feature, that might be one reason to run 64bit. | 18:06 |
| manoj | guys i need help in installing my built in webcam for my sony vaio | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | hUIWE: i saw some weird pc that was like that. but it had its own special ubuntu variant OS. and was a bit pricy | 18:06 |
| switch10_ | andre_pl: stick with the 32 bit. | 18:06 |
| andre_pl | switch10_: I think I might, I just feel like I'm missing out on something.. .but it seems like that something might just be "problems" | 18:07 |
| andre_pl | lol | 18:07 |
| toto__ | ok. me and myself. i ll speak to the unplugged webcam. laters guys | 18:07 |

| andre_pl | well, thanks for the input, I'm going to gather some more opinions and maybe i'll think about making the switch. | 18:09 |
| switch10_ | Dr_Willis: andre_pl: the only problem with 64 bit i had was installing drivers for a lightscribe disk drive. and even then you can force the architecture | 18:09 |

| tuxrocks | Jake2|cfl: use sftp | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | ^Jay2^: and if I remember correctly the menu enteries for Wine are in .config | 18:39 |
| Jake2|cfl | tuxrocks: more??? | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Jake2|cfl: if its a samba share (thats waht it looks like here) you can access it as you would any other 'share' places -> connect to server, or 'network' | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | ^Jay2^: so remove all that and bye bye Wine stuff properly | 18:39 |
| dsadas | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/462156/ how to fix that | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Jake2|cfl: or enter the url in the nautulus address -> smb://mynas/public | 18:39 |
| tuxrocks | Jake2|cfl: do you wanna share files? | 18:39 |

| DarkStar1 | can someone help me with Brasero please?? twice I've burnt now but after the conversion process Brasero just shuts down. | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: theres numerous clipboasrd manager tools out that let you do that. | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !info glipper | 18:40 |
| ubottu | glipper (source: glipper): Clipboard manager for the GNOME panel. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-1.1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 68 kB, installed size 632 kB | 18:40 |

| toto__ | I remember now: first install, a SQUASHFS error, no way to solve the bug. Second install, a crash from migrating 9/04 to 9.10. Now, the separate /var partition. | 18:40 |
| padhu | Dr_Willis: which one to install? | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: whatever one you want.. | 18:40 |
| sebsebseb | DarkStar1: Brasero doesn't always work properly, you could use K3B instead, KDE app though, so if you don't have one already installed, will want to put on quite a lot of KDE stuff, but not a problem, as long as your partition isn't really stupidly sized | 18:40 |
| toto__ | This is more a windows joke than a serious way to build distros. I m sorry to have to say that | 18:40 |
| padhu | Dr_Willis: tell me good one | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: the bot just did.. 'glipper' is one | 18:41 |
| tuxrocks | Vax_: try bios tweaks...or get it repaired...possible drive problems...i suggest you try check with more dvds..cos some drive dont recogonise some comapany dvds | 18:41 |
| Milk_ | Dr_Willis: so what should i run sudo fsck -A -f ? | 18:41 |
| toto__ | How can I seriously recommend to my noob friends (in linux) the change to the linux part if I can t even boot from a livecd?!!!! | 18:41 |

| sebsebseb | toto__: Maybe you don't reolize, that Ubuntu isn't the only distro, and so some other distro may work better for you :D However I can't go into details here about those, since that would be off topic | 18:42 |
| Milk_ | Dr_Willis: ok..should i just pick execute a shell ? | 18:42 |

| Robertm305 | my sound keeps cutting off in a middle of a song Ccan any one help | 18:42 |

| Piranah | Is there anyway to capture screenmode info in Ubuntu ? Dont know how or why but for once 720p loaded correctly on my LCD TV. I know for sure if I reboot I well be back to overscan issues | 18:42 |
| sebsebseb | DarkStar1: really when it comes to Gnome, Brasero is the best burning software, the good news though is that K3B runs in Gnome as well :) | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkStar1: i use Devede all the time. buring the iso it makes is trivial after its gerenated the iso | 18:43 |
| Milk_ | Dr_Willis: i dont have a live cd just the installation cd | 18:43 |

| wesley_ | tuxrocks, Done that, no effect. | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Jake2|cfl: if its a samba type share.. i mentioned,, places -> connect to server, or the NETWORK icon, or entering the smb://server/share name in teh path. | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Milk_: on the live cd? theres an icon for terminal somewhere. | 18:45 |
| Robertm305 | can any one help me im having sound problems with ubuntu 10.4 i start listening to musick on vlc or any media player and my sound cuts offf | 18:45 |

| tuxrocks | wesley_: how do you know all are read only | 18:48 |
| sebsebseb | nagendra: Microsoft have its Microsoft Office 2010 web apps, for free now, that works in non Windows OS's as well | 18:48 |
| mrexen | i clicked on the download button for ubuntu in opera, and the browser window just filled up with garbage, so i downloaded the alternate iso and all i get is a Shell> prompt | 18:49 |
| mrexen | how do i install? | 18:49 |
| PerryArmstrong | i dont know what happened but when I try to shift my applications to other workspace....it shows me Desk 1 (1), Desk 2 (2)..... and so on instead of normally showing Desk 1, Desk 2...and my applications seems to be running slower than usual | 18:49 |
| shutout1 | im googling still, is there ubuntu support (read: drivers) for dynex pci cards? one forum post that came up first has zero replies | 18:49 |
| wesley_ | tuxrocks, Because it says so..... | 18:49 |
| slidinghorn | !install | mrexen | 18:50 |
| sebsebseb | nagendra: Then you can make docuemnts using that and open them I guess. and I think theres still a free document viewer for Office files from Microsoft that should work in Wine. So you probably don't really need to run Office 2007 in Wine :) | 18:50 |
| ubottu | mrexen: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 18:50 |

| Dr_Willis | padhu: its in the 'add to panel' menu. 'killall gnome-panel' will restart the panel. if its not showing up in the add to panel.. listings | 18:59 |

| Dr_Willis | alexander_: rerun the installer and pay attention to it. that game is so old.. it may not even work after you do install it. | 19:00 |

| wizard_ | bingnet, I can help | 19:01 |

| Jake2|cfl | Dr_Willis: ah, that's the clue then--it doesn't know how to find MYNAS. | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: i said 'killall gnome-panel' earlier. | 19:01 |

| Dr_Willis | Jake2|cfl: issue ive had doing that is if the ip changes.. it can get real confuseing. :) | 19:03 |
| Cube`` | tuxrocks: ofc but im trying to cronjob it ;) | 19:03 |
| slidinghorn | PerryArmstrong, please don't repeat your problem quickly...sometimes answers aren't available. could you post a screenshot to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin? | 19:03 |
| padhu | Dr_Willis: i got it, thanks :-) | 19:03 |
| Jake2|cfl | Dr_Willis: yeah i know, but with no way for ubuntu to resolve local net names, what else to do? | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Milk_: for my nvidia systems. the consoles dont even work properly on the live/alt cd's :() i use other live cd's for these tasks | 19:03 |
| Guest71384 | extraclassic: Are you using firewalls? If so, try to disable all of them and try again. | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Jake2|cfl: hope the ip never changes.. or watch out for it if it does change. | 19:04 |
| slidinghorn | PerryArmstrong, (the imagebin should be without the "?" -- sorry) :) | 19:04 |
| extraclassic | yeah, already disabled them | 19:04 |

| PerryArmstrong | slidinghorn, what screenshot should i show | 19:04 |
| Milk_ | Dr_Willis: will it matter | 19:04 |
| Guest71384 | extraclassic: Try to use ip address instead of machine names | 19:04 |
| Vroomfondle | blacksunseven: monitor in what way? Just typing "who" will tell you who's logged in | 19:04 |
| extraclassic | also edited /etc/hosts so the DNS would work | 19:04 |
| slidinghorn | PerryArmstrong, something that shows your issue, because (at least to me) it didn't make very much sense... | 19:05 |
| extraclassic | tried that also | 19:05 |
| blacksunseven | Vroomfondle: i've used that before, but i'm a little confused by the results | 19:05 |
| tuxrocks | wt is the difference btw who and w | 19:06 |
| blacksunseven | Vroomfondle: it shows 3 user sessions: | 19:06 |
| blacksunseven | user tty7 2010-07-01 19:54 (:0) | 19:06 |
| blacksunseven | user pts/0 2010-07-09 00:39 (:1022.0) | 19:06 |
| blacksunseven | user pts/1 2010-07-10 09:40 (:1022.0) | 19:06 |
| FloodBot4 | blacksunseven: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:06 |
| Vroomfondle | blacksunseven: that's ony real tty (console login - probably the main login shell) and two virtual terminal sessions (probably gnome-terminal or similar) | 19:06 |
| jrib | tuxrocks: type the following in your terminal: whatis w who | 19:06 |
| Vroomfondle | *one real | 19:06 |

| blacksunseven | Vroomfondle: i guess the stem of my question is i want to ensure there arent mult. gnome sessions running and bogging down my machine | 19:08 |
| blacksunseven | since nx creates one and there's already the default one running locally | 19:08 |
| Vroomfondle | oh... hm | 19:08 |
| mrexen | i've been looking all over ubuntu help forum and can't find anything about invoking the boot installation from the EFI Shell version 2.10 | 19:08 |
| PerryArmstrong | slidinghorn, and this is my actual desktop showing no files or folders: http://imagebin.org/104884 | 19:08 |
| Vroomfondle | blacksunseven: you'd need to pipe "ps -aux" into grep and search for the right thing, I think | 19:09 |
| Vroomfondle | blacksunseven: "ps -aux | grep gnome-session" might do what you want | 19:09 |

| mrexen | is there a manual for installing the alternate edition iso or do i need to download the original version iso at 5kb/s? | 19:12 |
| Vroomfondle | mrexen: the alternate edition installer is quite straightforward | 19:13 |
| mrexen | Vroomfondle: i'm stuck at Shell> | 19:13 |
| PerryArmstrong | slidinghorn, originally i talked about something else i understand....i'll tell what i was telling you before.....in case you want to shift your firefox application from Workspace 1 to worskpace 2..... you right click it and select Move to another Workspace....then you select Desk 1 or Desk 2 or so on...right...did you get me till here?? | 19:13 |
| Vroomfondle | mrexen: at shell? Ouch. That shouldn't happen. | 19:13 |
| Vroomfondle | assuming you picked the right option at the beginning | 19:13 |
| io | chka: #ubuntu is support for the Ubuntu Linux distribution whilst ##linux is covers more general Linux topics (and other distributions, as well as Ubuntu). | 19:13 |

| mrexen | Vroomfondle: i haven't picked any option yet | 19:14 |
| Vroomfondle | (if you chose recovery console then you'll get a shell, but otherwise you should see an installer or the memory check) | 19:14 |

| slidinghorn | mrexen, is this a clean install? Are you trying to dual boot? is there anything preventing you from downloading the full image and starting over? | 19:15 |
| slidinghorn | PerryArmstrong, Ok I understand...is it just with firefox or is it with all applications? | 19:15 |

| tdn | I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with encrypted home dirs. I had to do some maintenance including swapping of two users' UIDs and GIDs. So I did a deluser on the users and a delgroup on the groups. Then I created the users and groups again with the corrects UIDs/GIDs. Then I chowned all the users' files under /home/$USER and /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. Then I reset password with passwd $USER. But now the users cannot log in, thus cannot decrypt their files. What to do | 19:16 |
| PerryArmstrong | slidinghorn, okk take your time... | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | din: Lucid Lynx comes with Thunderbird 3 | 19:16 |
| oscillocam | padhu: it depends on what they are protecting. For users with limited access they are fine but not to be used for root/admin password creation. | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | din: You don't need a ppa for Thunderbird 3, but thats the useual way to get later versions of software when the repo doesn't have it | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | din: You could install it directly from mozilla yourself | 19:17 |
| tuxrocks | thunderbird?wer we need to get it | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | din: well Thunderbird 3 doesn't come with Lucid Lynx, but it is in the repo, just correcting that | 19:17 |
| slidinghorn | mrexen, well, either way (alternate or typical install) you're going to have to download a large amount of files in order to get a decent (i.e. noob friendly) install of ubuntu -- I would probably recommend getting the typical install iso and starting over, but maybe someone else here can guide you through from where you're at right now | 19:17 |

| aeon-ltd | wake on lan | 19:18 |

| sebsebseb | din: anyway if you get it directly from Mozilla it will probably be a .tar.gz or something, and I guess there will be install instructions in the readme in the download | 19:19 |

| ubottu | din: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 19:19 |
| shishire | wizard_, you would have to be associated and connected to a wifi network while the rest of the computer is off. I'm not sure if that functionality is built into most cards yet. | 19:19 |
| din | thx anyway sebsebseb | 19:20 |
| mrexen | i guess i'll try and figure it out on my own... by the way, it's impossible to download the iso from the official website in opera, please get the web page fixed | 19:20 |
| shishire | wizard_, it's not a question of getting the magic packet through the network, it's a question of the receiving computer being able to accept such a packet. | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | din: its pretty easy to install directly from Mozilla, and thats your only option if there isn't a ppa for 9.10 really, or just upgrade to 10.04 | 19:20 |
| rjb | UNR 10.04 eeepc 1005pe checking battery state hang OS, i can open other tty, startx doesnt work | 19:20 |
| mrexen | my only option to get the iso was to get the alternate iso in opera, foolish of me to use opera perhaps, but with a connection that drops out it's useful for restarting | 19:21 |
| din | 10.04 didnt work for me, system restarted itself over and over without even getting to the login screen | 19:21 |

| Guest38977 | slidinghorn, Well I moved it from my stationary computer to my laptop in which I recently installed ubuntu to try it out. so far I like it (offtopic, sorry) so I can see the file here, I can move it around, I put it in my folder under another folder in which i named roms, specified that folder in kamefu and I wont boot and it gives me the error I told you earlier. | 19:49 |
| jose | IdleOne: it just says something to the effect of 'you are running out of disk space. | 19:49 |

| Guest38977 | Slidinghorn, I'm a bit too new to this, takes a while to adjust to it. | 19:49 |
| DJones | Ddorda: You should be able to get the grub menu up by pressing & holding down the shift key at boot time | 19:49 |
| Slimp | It's like the settings just get forgoten after restart. | 19:49 |
| IdleOne | jose: when does it give that error? | 19:50 |
| slidinghorn | Guest38977, copying files between OSs will not make them work...you need to actually install them onto your ubuntu installation. is this a game emulator or something? | 19:50 |
| Ddorda | DJones: thanks' that's what i was looking for. let me check it :P | 19:50 |
| jose | i was downloading a torrent, and it told me i was running out of room | 19:50 |
| Guest38977 | Kamefu is an emulator that is made for ubuntu as far as I know | 19:50 |

| mltngclk | luishasbon, 32 bit | 19:51 |
| scriptwarlock | Ddorda: what about esc | 19:51 |
| slidinghorn | Guest38977, I've never used an emulator, but I would try installing the ROMs directly to ubuntu instead of copying them...see if it works | 19:51 |
| xxiao_ | after i 'aptitude remove --purge pkg1' still it shows as 'rc' in 'dpkg -l', how can I get rid of the dpkg display of that? | 19:51 |

| DJones | Ddorda: I'm not sure, I used the left shift key to bring up the grub menu when I last had to use it | 19:52 |
| luishasbon | you want to remove the flash wrapper let me see where it was after you remove it you should be able to use flash correctly | 19:52 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:01 |
| Guest38977 | Slidinghorn, did you try to install kamefu with the sudo apt.. I gave you? I thought it might be easier to understand my problem | 20:01 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: then scan the filesystem | 20:01 |
| Slimp | scriptwarlock: I need to log in to a machine that has a no monitor, but if I restart it, I need to plug a monitor in to log in before vncserver starts up. | 20:01 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, says it's not in gzip format... o_O | 20:01 |
| Guest38977 | slidinghorn, you can also start the ubuntu software center and install it from there tho, I just don't know how to boot roms | 20:01 |
| Las1 | ok, any opinions then? I am just curious if anyone here has an n-level USB adapter they have working well with UBuntu before I waste time guessing | 20:01 |
| slidinghorn | Guest38977, sorry -- I'd like to help, but I'm not going to install something I don't need and won't use -- chances are I wouldn't be able to help, as I don't have any experience with emulators | 20:02 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: host 54.5; home 10.9; usr 7.8 | 20:02 |
| Las1 | because the last 2 G-level usb network adapters I had worked, but very VERY poorly | 20:02 |
| Guest38977 | slidinghorn, ah well, thanks anyway | 20:02 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: you downlaoded the .tar.gz file or .tar.bz2 ? or the .deb file???? | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | Shwaiil, yes download and burn an ubuntu live cd iso and try it out | 20:02 |
| scriptwarlock | Slimp: then enable the remote desktop | 20:02 |
| Guest38977 | Anyone here that have experience with kamefu? | 20:02 |
| Slimp | scriptwarlock: how do you mean? | 20:02 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: its all gig? | 20:02 |
| jose | yup | 20:03 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:yup | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | Shwaiil, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu | 20:03 |
| scriptwarlock | Slimp: have you enabled the remote desktop in that machine? | 20:03 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, .tar.gz | 20:03 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: if you setup desktopsharing on the headless 1 it can let you log in | 20:03 |
| Slimp | spiky_: how do you mean? | 20:03 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: also / is 100% 31.9GB | 20:03 |
| Slimp | scriptwarlock: yes, it has a vnc server runningj, it just doesn't run until after I log in to it, and logging in requires a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. | 20:04 |
| Shwaiil | BluesKaj, the live mode will try to detect all my hardware, ok! That's nice. what if the the wireless card is not detect, for example ? Will it mean is incompatible or I should search for my specific driver before installing to be sure ? | 20:05 |

| mltngclk | luishasbon, same error...hmm...where would you like to extract it? I'm pretty sure I can extract gui, doesn't say anything about it being corrupt | 20:06 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: does that shed any light? | 20:07 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, nvm, guess it doesnt matter, lemme scroll up =) | 20:07 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: but then it keeps notifiying you that you have low disk space? does it says waht space is low? | 20:07 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: extract it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and there you go! | 20:07 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, thanks for saving me the trouble of scrolling all the way up =) | 20:08 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: let me see if i can get it to happen again. | 20:08 |

| nikitis | Anybody got any ideas why a multi-DPI mouse would wig out multiple linux installs? | 20:10 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: i don't understanf | 20:11 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: ill be here for a while im watching nederlands vs spain :P | 20:11 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, haha rock! | 20:11 |
| slidinghorn | nikitis, could you give us details as to what you mean by "wigging out"? ;) remember...english (especially colloquialisms) isnt't some people's first language | 20:11 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: your downloading torrent basically ubuntu uses transmission bit torrent client | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | Shwaiil, most laptop wifi chips are detected and do work on ubuntu , there some that need a bit more confguring but they are rare in my experience | 20:12 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: if you cant get it just download the .deb packagefrom adobe webpage and run it xD | 20:12 |
| kmudrick | anyone familiar with configuring touchpads to work properly in ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: i dl'd the torrent from demonoid and opened it with transmission | 20:13 |
| slidinghorn | !anyone > kmudrick | 20:13 |
| ubottu | kmudrick, please see my private message | 20:13 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, Sure thing, problem is, when plugged in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages only show the in and out methods, nothing bad. But once used, a few seconds later, I can no longer click windows, drag them, or select buttons. If I switch configurations for the mouse (Built onto the mouse itself), things work again, but only for a few seconds then it repeats. | 20:13 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, i tried that after synaptic didnt do the trick. didnt work...and this didnt work either...lol I have to catch a smoke, I'll brb | 20:13 |
| Slimp | Can anyone tell me how to setup ubuntu so I can vnc in after a restart? | 20:13 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: i can | 20:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: You can always 'ssh' in and start vncserver after you insstall vncserver. You dont need to share teh 'current local viewable desktop' | 20:14 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: ope your transmission | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: you then connect via any vnc client. | 20:14 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, this was on two different computers, one running KDE, and one running gnome. The mouse works on windows.... | 20:14 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: open | 20:14 |
| jose | it's open | 20:14 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: lol.... ok... its weird did you uncompressed it??? | 20:14 |
| Slimp | Dr_Willis: how? | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: Or you set up auto login, with the gnome vnc server/shareing enabled. | 20:14 |
| slidinghorn | nikitis, have you tried using a simpler mouse? do the problems persist? -- also, do you need this multi-faceted mouse for anything in particular? | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: install vncserver.. ssh in.. how to what part? | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !vnc | 20:15 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 20:15 |
| Slimp | Dr_Willis: how to starting up the server. | 20:15 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: ok, now what? | 20:15 |
| kmudrick | alright, first time running ubuntu in several years. i have a new hp laptop, i'm thoroughly overwhelmed with how to configure the touchpad. the gist of it is - the lower section of the trackpad that would correspond to "buttons" basically just make the pointer jump around all over the screen, rather than acting like a click | 20:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: install vncserver and run .. 'vncserver' | 20:15 |
| kyle_ | have installed x11vnc but am looking for something a bit more intergrated? like RDP for windows, any idea's? | 20:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: is one way. | 20:15 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, My intellimouse works perfectly, but it's very old, and I wish to use this mouse for World of Warcraft. Also, the Dot per inch is sooo pretty and easy on the eyes. it's mouse perfection. | 20:15 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle_: gnome has its own vnc server/client feature - unless of course you are not using gnome.. | 20:16 |
| Slimp | The command for that being sudo vncserver? | 20:16 |
| kmudrick | the touchpad appears to be detected as a "Synaptics Touchpad" | 20:16 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: go to preference and change the "save location" to a bigger partition-- default is Downloads am i right? | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: no... you dont run vncserver as root.. its ran by the user sshing in. | 20:16 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, for games like call of duty, it has a sniper button which auto lowers the DPI Reading, to steady your hand for headshots. | 20:16 |
| kyle_ | using ubuntu 10.4 | 20:16 |
| spiky_ | kyle_: what are you tryin to do | 20:16 |
| Slimp | Dr_Willis: so the command is just vncserver? No flags or anything? | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: theres dozens of options and flags you could use.. | 20:17 |
| t3mp3st | hi all; quick unix perms question -- if I have r/w permission a directory that contains a file owned by someone else, it appears I can still unlink that file from my directory (with -f). I just want to confirm that this is truly unlinking the file and that the storage will be freed if this is indeed the only link to the inode | 20:17 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:yes it is, i changed it to videos, will that fix the error? | 20:17 |
| Slimp | Dr_Willis: of course, but non-required for what I want to do, right? | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: but the common way i do it.. ssh to remote, run 'vncserver' , on local machine use 'vncviewer remoteboxip' | 20:17 |
| bergLNX | how do I enable java in firefox? already installed openjdk-6-jre | 20:17 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: try some downloads | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Slimp: i dont know what you 'want to do' other then you asked how to start vnc.. | 20:17 |
| jamesstanley | t3mp3st: that is correct | 20:17 |
| Slimp | Dr_Willis: that's what I want to do. | 20:18 |
| kyle_ | spiky_: I want to be able to DRP ubuntu 10.4 from any location via RDP/VNC.. Got vnc, but if i reboot i have to start it etc.. + it has a not so nice icon... Would like it intergarated like windows RDP | 20:18 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, yep. said it installed fine...no flash, doesnt list it @ about:plugins...im just lost | 20:18 |
| kjele | t3mp3st: However if it is a directory and contains files then you cannot remove it | 20:18 |
| t3mp3st | jamesstanley,kjele: thanks so much! I'm in permissions nirvana at the moment :P | 20:19 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:you know, i still see my home folder still says it only has 600 or so MB of space left, but if i click on the HD icon, that has 106GB left. | 20:19 |
| slidinghorn | nikitis, this is all I could really find with useful info about intellimouse...It's a little dated, so I'm not sure how accurate it wouldbe, but there are some very recent posts on the last couple pages so it might still be relevant: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171396 | 20:20 |

| kyle_ | is it like RDP? | 20:20 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: or clean some cache in your home | 20:20 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle_: i have. its a little.. differnt then vnc - worked well.. but a bit harder to setup. | 20:20 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle_: it was a LOT faster | 20:20 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, i don't really have any issue with my intellimouse lol. It's my new Cybord R.A.T. 7 Mouse that is causing the problems. | 20:20 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: how do i open nautilus? | 20:21 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: go to places then home | 20:21 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: ok...so letssuppose you uncompressed it in downloads folder so you should have a libflash.so file in that folder now goto terminal and type sudo cp /home/yourname/downloads/libflash.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash.so | 20:21 |

| luishasbon | does anyone know how to install autocad 2010 in linux? | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | kyle_: dident notice. :) im baby sitting. | 20:26 |
| slidinghorn | luishasbon, autocad 2010 is listed with a "Garbage" rating on winehq's appdb, which means: "An application gets this rating if it cannot be used for the purpose it was designed for. There should be at least one bug report in Bugzilla if it gets this rating. Application cannot be installed, does not start, or starts but has so many errors that it is nearly impossible to use it." http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1 | 20:26 |

| sebsebseb | !virus | bambam_ | 20:26 |
| ubottu | bambam_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 20:26 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, but I also download stuff from torrents... then ? | 20:26 |
| slidinghorn | luishasbon, oops, here's the link: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=16345 | 20:26 |
| luishasbon | slidinghorn:thanks | 20:26 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: tinypics and post your link here | 20:26 |
| Dr_Willis | nikitis: last i used autocad - it had such harsh copy protection - it barely worked on windows. :) | 20:26 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: torrents for what? | 20:26 |
| bambam_ | like pdfs .... songs etc | 20:27 |
| nikitis | Dr_Willis, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86 | 20:27 |

| bambam_ | sebsebseb : They do not need to be copyright protect... there are many which are free to share | 20:28 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: Those kind of torrents aren't offical sources for program, so they may come with malware, however it would useualy be for WIndows | 20:28 |

| sebsebseb | bambam_: plus most malware from torrents will be for Windows anyway, and woudn't infect Linux distros | 20:29 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, but you never know what is in them... they could be binded with some scripts | 20:29 |
| mltngclk | luishasbon, no luck =( | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: scripts what .sh files? | 20:29 |
| kjele | bergLNX: Then check the addon section | 20:29 |
| bambam_ | I mean I wrote an article on something and uploaded pdf on some site... I can bind a script with the file and zip it too | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: sure, but | 20:29 |

| jamesstanley | figure002_: it's being used by you | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: take .sh files which are scripts for Linux distros, before they even run, they have to be told to be alloweed to execute, they can't just run on their own | 20:30 |
| jamesstanley | figure002_: perhaps you're old connection hasn't pinged out yet | 20:30 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: i don't know. how can i fix it? | 20:31 |
| jamesstanley | just wait for the server to kick it off | 20:31 |
| jamesstanley | or ghost it if you own the nick | 20:31 |
| bergLNX | kjele: Hmm, well I have icedtea-6-jre-cacao, but I need a seperate one just for firefox? | 20:31 |
| bambam_ | well, I got curious because I download one pdf which was more of an article or white paper, it talked about binder programs... which attach scripts,viruses,trojans etc to any kindof file and when you open the file it runs in background | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: or if you ever used a .bin well you do the same thing as .sh files, before they run. right click go to properties, and tell it you want it to be treated like a program, basicalley | 20:31 |

| sebsebseb | bambam_: only get software from trusted sources, such as offical sources for trusted programs, or the Ubuntu repos, and you'll be fine | 20:32 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: ghost it? don't know what that means.. but can i register that nick like i did on freenode? | 20:32 |
| scriptwarlock | bambam_: really? | 20:32 |
| jamesstanley | figure002_: this is freenode... | 20:32 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, thats what I do but ... what about reading and songs stuff etc... | 20:32 |
| jamesstanley | figure002_: if you own the nick with nickserv, do "/msg nickserv ghost figure002 <password>" | 20:32 |
| jamesstanley | and it will kick figure002 off | 20:33 |
| Fredrick | hey whats a good program to use a palm device with>? | 20:33 |

| bambam_ | scriptwarlock, hello ! yes it is true.... ! there were some examples of such softwares and make no mistake they are capable of running on any kindof OS as long as JVM or something similar is there | 20:33 |

| sebsebseb | bambam_: and basically before malware can run on a Linux distro, the user has to open it them selves, or someone malicious has to have access to the computer and then do it. Its not like Windows where viruses can just spread them selves easilly, without being opended first. Plus most Linux distros have been designed so viruses and such can't just do that. | 20:34 |
| pritesh | can somebody recommend a software to join small video clips ? | 20:34 |
| guntbert | figure002_: you will find support for using the freenode network in #freenode | 20:34 |
| hoosiers83 | hmm... everything is peachy, except only xsane works in sudo. "simple scan" doesnt work at all for scanning | 20:34 |
| Fredrick | hey anyone had any experience using a palm device on Ubuntu? i need one that will work | 20:34 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, hmmm , so there is no threat of rootkit in Linux distros ? Which is quite a serious threat in windows | 20:34 |
| scriptwarlock | bambam_: wew so we need to start installing rkhunter or chkrootkit? | 20:35 |
| figure002_ | guntbert: everything is working fine on freenode, just the ubuntu server is giving me the wrong nick for some reason | 20:35 |
| [thor] | Fredrick: i use a Sony Clie :D | 20:35 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: "NickServ (NickServ@services.): figure002 has been ghosted." | 20:35 |
| Muscovy | bambam_: Also, you almost eliminate chances of trojan viruses with the Software Center. | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: and as far as I know even if say a .tar.gz or .zip file had malware in it, as far as I know you can't just get infected by it, by opening the archeive file, be that on Windows or some other OS | 20:35 |
| nikitis | bambam_, Rootkits exists for Linux, but it's 10 times harder to get infected. | 20:35 |
| jamesstanley | figure002_: now /nick figure002 and it's yours | 20:35 |
| bambam_ | chrootkit.... yeah ... I read that term also in that article somewhere | 20:35 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:http://yfrog.com/2oscreenshotynap | 20:35 |
| Fredrick | ok how bout anyone know how to use wine? | 20:35 |
| guntbert | figure002_: the "ubuntu server" *is* the freenode server | 20:35 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: but now i'm disconnected from the freenode server | 20:35 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: ok | 20:35 |
| ohir | bambam_: update often. | 20:35 |
| pritesh | can somebody recommend a software to join small video clips ? | 20:35 |
| bambam_ | hmmmmm , | 20:36 |
| kjele | pritesh: cat | 20:36 |
| Gnea | pritesh: avidemux | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: There are rootkits for Linux distros as well, but most won't work anymore. and basically you would have to know what you are doing and install it yourself, or have someone malicious with access to your computer, do it for you | 20:36 |
| bambam_ | nikitis, so do you use any anti-root kit program | 20:36 |
| ohir | bambam_: then you're pretty safe from rootkits and crackers | 20:36 |
| kjele | pritesh: depends on how it was split | 20:36 |
| [thor] | Fredrick: gnome-pilot, and jpilot should do everything you need with your palmos device | 20:36 |
| figure002_ | jamesstanley: "ubuntu -- | figure002: Nickname is already in use." | 20:36 |
| bambam_ | ohir, OK, updating is one thing.. | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: Also you can't just get a rootkit for Linux or any other type of malware at the moment, since it very nearly doesn't exist. I mean malware that would actsaully work. Anyway I was only back here briefly, i'll be back again later. | 20:37 |
| figure002_ | guntbert: ooh, i see! | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: wikipedia has a good rootkit page though | 20:37 |
| pritesh | wanted to join small .wmv files , gonna try avidemux and see, thanks | 20:37 |
| rskm | Anyone have any advice about which ubuntu is right for me? I have a small laptop but it has a good resolution screen, and i will use awesome window manager anyway, so the real difference i guess id performance and power management. Is it worth me going with netbook version or should i just use ubuntu desktop? | 20:37 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, OK | 20:37 |
| humanfly | has that alberto milan guy abandoned envyng for lucid+ ? | 20:37 |
| guntbert | figure002_: so if you are connected twice to the same network you cannot use the same nick on both connections :-) | 20:38 |
| ohir | bambam_: its true for all OSes. Just design of linux make it much harder to write user-level malware. And not user level programs (daemons aka services) are usually checked carefuly and updated quickly if yet anoher hole is found. | 20:38 |
| hiexpo | rskm, 9.10 i think is the best one i use | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | !envy | 20:38 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 20:38 |
| humanfly | super | 20:38 |
| mltngclk | brb | 20:38 |
| figure002_ | guntbert: ahh.. i understand now. i should remove ubuntu from my server list then. | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: so yeah there has been a liltte bit of past malware for Linux distros, but that won't work with modern versions of distros, plus most of that malware stayed in the lab, never got distributed on the Internet. | 20:38 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:can you see it now? | 20:38 |
| rskm | hiexpo: Thanks, but I mean should I use ubuntu to desktop or ubuntu netbook? | 20:39 |
| figure002_ | guntbert: and add #ubuntu to the freenode autoconnect instead | 20:39 |
| guntbert | rskm: the netbook version is for devices with a screen that is vertically small | 20:39 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: yes so many files which is not neccessary | 20:39 |
| guntbert | figure002_: exactly | 20:39 |
| barrrrt | i had to add the column load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0. to /etc/pulse/default.pa . After that pulse recognizes my internal microphone. The problem i have is that i always have to activate in alsamixer my "capture" device, next to the internal microphone device. And that after every restart of my linux | 20:39 |
| figure002_ | guntbert: thanks :) | 20:39 |
| barrrrt | how can i fix the problem, that i dont have to activate the capture device after every restart? Someone mentioned alsactl, but it seems as if that did not help me | 20:39 |
| rskm | guntbert: So the difference are only in the UI, they are the same system underneath? | 20:39 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: tell me what to delete and i will do it | 20:39 |
| guntbert | figure002_: you're welcome :-) | 20:39 |
| Gnea | what's that version of Ubuntu that can install in windows again? | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: Wubi | 20:40 |
| DJones | !wubi | Gnea | 20:40 |
| ubottu | Gnea: 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. | 20:40 |
| === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB | ||
| Gnea | thanks | 20:40 |
| bambam_ | Ok, but is there any anti-rootkit for ubuntu available ? | 20:40 |
| bambam_ | I know just ClamAV for linux | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: proper partitioned install is better in long run :) and I think you know this already :) | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | bambam_ | 20:41 |
| ubottu | bambam_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 20:41 |
| humanfly | whats universe repo ? i have tried all but proposed to fetch the needed packages for the unsupported envy i'm too tired to check my /etc/apt/source.list :) humor me | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | bambam_: yes there are anti rootkit, but you don't need it, anyway going away from computer again | 20:41 |
| guntbert | rskm: to my knowledge that is so and http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook states it also | 20:41 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: adonthell, balazar saved games, avast(for windows file?), etw, sheep?, what are those... and then install ubuntu tweak to clear cache files | 20:42 |
| bambam_ | sebsebseb, Ok atleast give me the names of some | 20:42 |
| guntbert | !universe | humanfly | 20:42 |
| ubottu | humanfly: 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 | 20:42 |
| timboy | i'm getting hash sum mismatch on a couple ppa's anyone know why that would happen? | 20:42 |
| === gustavo_futuro_u is now known as gustavo_datatri- | ||
| hiexpo | timboy, is the hash is wrong bad download | 20:42 |
| hdpb | after a fresh install of Lucid yesterday, I keep getting the message "an error occurred while mounting /" though it booted fine right after install | 20:43 |
| rskm | guntbert: Ok, thanks :) I just thought maybe it did power management or something differently to be better on portable hardware | 20:43 |
| humanfly | proposed would not be universe would it ? or is proposed a not so risky thing on a secure machine ? | 20:43 |
| timboy | hiexpo, getting it from official nvidia ppa and from xbmc ppa every time! | 20:43 |
| humanfly | i've got planets spinning around my head most of the time ;) | 20:43 |
| maco | humanfly: proposed is where updateds get tested for regressions before going to the updates repository | 20:43 |
| hiexpo | timboy, and that is there hash you are comparing it to | 20:44 |
| guntbert | humanfly: proposed it a completely different thing - don't enable it if not for a *very good* reason | 20:44 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: what does it say? does an alert come out?? | 20:44 |
| Fredrick | is there a foolproof way to menage my ipod on Linux? | 20:44 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:deleted those files. opened ubuntu tweak. what do i do in tweak? | 20:45 |
| humanfly | guess my server simply doesn't have envy | 20:45 |
| Slimp | Anybody know how to get ubuntu to allow remote desktop without logging in at the machine? | 20:45 |
| BluesKaj | Fredrick, foolproof , that's asking abit much :) | 20:45 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: clean not tweak | 20:45 |
| [thor] | :D | 20:45 |
| Muscovy | Slimp: You could try ssh. | 20:45 |
| Fredrick | yea i know, its for my dad but hes not that good with tecnology | 20:45 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: did you install vnc as mentioned? | 20:46 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: waaahaaat? without uninstalling? | 20:46 |
| humanfly | can anyone link me to say, envyng-qt with its dependencies in .deb form for 32-bit. i've no idea how to do such things, they are like -- impossible. :) | 20:46 |
| luishasbon | mltngclk: ok...so letssuppose you uncompressed it in downloads folder so you should have a libflashplayer.so file in that folder now goto terminal and type sudo cp /home/yourname/downloads/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 20:46 |
| Slimp | spiky_: yes, it didn't work. | 20:46 |
| humanfly | that'd be for lucid | 20:46 |

| sburwood | What do I need to use to do it? I want to pass it from the headphone jack into the sound card | 20:47 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: like avast, etw theres a proper way of uninstalling an apps but nayway its been done.. go to ubuntu tweak now | 20:47 |
| Fredrick | yea it was a presint lol | 20:47 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: and start cleaning | 20:47 |
| sburwood | am I on the correct channel for such a question? | 20:47 |
| slidinghorn | !ipod > Fredrick | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Fredrick, please see my private message | 20:47 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: ok on the pc you wanna go in to open system >preferences>remote desktop | 20:47 |
| Slimp | spiky_: yep. | 20:48 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: have you done that? | 20:48 |
| Slimp | spiky_:yes. | 20:48 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: do the package cleaner only and start removing the residues | 20:48 |
| [thor] | sburwood: you can use the bundled Sound Recorder ( Applications --> Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder ) | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | slidinghorn, whynot share the procedure with the rest of us ...what's witht pms | 20:49 |
| [thor] | sburwood: alternatively, you can install Audacity or a similar recording application. | 20:49 |
| sburwood | I tried to do that, but it came up with a lot of parasites | 20:49 |
| barfster | I need to set net video mode on this machine: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236211/ and I have put in these modes into /etc/fb.modes http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236212/, but I am only able to get these errors: # fbset 720p | 20:49 |

| spiky_ | Slimp: now you gotta tick configure network automatily | 20:49 |
| pritesh | avidemux was not very helpful to join small video files, is there any better software ? | 20:49 |

| [thor] | sburwood: using sound recorder gave you issues? | 20:50 |
| slidinghorn | BluesKaj, it's a factoid that's used somewhat frequently...figured I'd try to keep the channel clear -- it's an option with the bot...instead of piping (posting to channel) you can also use > to send it as a pm to the person | 20:50 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: its under the applications | 20:50 |
| sburwood | yes | 20:50 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: the 2 top 1,s ticked | 20:50 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: its called pakcage cleaner | 20:50 |
| vsk | hi | 20:50 |
| sburwood | and when I record the two sides of the audio cassette, how do I splice them together? | 20:50 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: it says this feature isn't currently available in your distro | 20:50 |
| Slimp | spiky_: everything is ticked except "you must confirm each access". | 20:51 |
| vsk | want someoene to talk with me? :-s | 20:51 |
| [thor] | sburwood: you need a proper editor for that, i suggest installing Audacity | 20:51 |
| sburwood | ok | 20:51 |
| slidinghorn | !ask | vsk | 20:51 |
| ubottu | vsk: 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. :-) | 20:51 |
| pritesh | has anybody tried any software go combine multiple small video clips ? | 20:51 |
| sburwood | and that should repair the problem of parasites? | 20:51 |
| crashev | there is something broken with java in lucid lynx 32bit, when trying to run javaws I get: Bad installation. Error invoking Java VM (execv): No such file or directory <- anyone knows how to fix this ? | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | slidinghorn, yes I'm aware but I'm sure that's advice/tutorial that should be posted ...ipod configuring is quite a popular request these days :) | 20:52 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: then you should be able to acssess it from remote | 20:52 |
| barfster | This might be of value too: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236213/ | 20:52 |
| [thor] | sburwood: waht sort of parasites are you talking about? | 20:52 |
| sburwood | like if you had a very very bad connection | 20:52 |
| sburwood | like answering a cell phone in a long tunnel | 20:52 |
| [thor] | you mean noise? | 20:52 |
| Slimp | spiky_:I *can* access it remotely, I'm access it remotely in order to be in this IRC, what I want to do is access it remotely after a restart, without logging in on the original machine. | 20:52 |
| bambam_ | I have installed chrootkit and rkhunter from ubuntu repositories, but I am not able to find them or a way to run them, where these programs get installed by default ? | 20:53 |
| sburwood | more noise than sound | 20:53 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:should i uninstall ubuntu tweak and reinstall? | 20:53 |
| kjele | pritesh: Can you watch each clips? | 20:53 |
| [thor] | sburwood: that seems like it would be problem with the cable or card | 20:53 |
| pritesh | yes absolutely | 20:53 |
| Slimp | spiky_: do you understand what I mean? | 20:53 |

| scriptwarlock | bambam_: what kind of idea? | 20:55 |
| sburwood | do I need to install jack or pulse or something else? | 20:55 |
| Dr_Willis | pritesh: you want to join several differnt videos into a single file. The ffmpeg and the mencoder faqs i recall had examples of doing that with their tools. | 20:55 |

| Dr_Willis | pritesh: they are cli tools there are gui front ends.. they are not too hard to use. | 20:57 |
| sburwood | I'm gonna try that | 20:57 |
| Flannel | barfster: You could install just X. But if you're looking for a full desktop type thing, look into Lubuntu (sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop) | 20:57 |
| sburwood | [thor]: I'm gonna try audacity | 20:57 |
| jose | is there another program for cache clearing like it? | 20:57 |
| scriptwarlock | bambam_: sudo chkrootkit | 20:57 |
| sburwood | bye | 20:57 |
| Slimp | spiky_: that's not going to make any difference, that's the option for whether VNC requires a password, not for whether VNC is started before a user is logged in. | 20:57 |
| bambam_ | scriptwarlock: I tried that but it does not find that command | 20:57 |
| barfster | Flannel: It should be able to run X-MAME, MPlayer, VLC, FireFox | 20:58 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: google ubuntu tweak | 20:58 |
| jose | scriptwarlock: is there another program like that, or something i can do from the terminal? | 20:58 |
| Flannel | barfster: Just straight X can do that | 20:58 |
| scriptwarlock | bambam_: is chkrootkit installed? | 20:58 |
| barfster | Without the entire gnome environement? | 20:58 |
| bambam_ | scriptwarlock: It says command not found, Yup I have double checked that | 20:58 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: I know that is how mine is set up been like that for a year | 20:58 |
| Flannel | barfster: Right | 20:58 |
| barfster | I just ran tasksel, as it’s a tool I remember from debian, and I made a selection | 20:58 |
| barfster | But how do I utilize that selection after? | 20:59 |
| Flannel | barfster: Which selection did you make? | 20:59 |
| barfster | On this machine I just picked ubuntu desktop | 20:59 |
| barfster | But this is for trying to install over the WinXP embedded on a Samsung SyncMaster 400 PXn | 20:59 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: any firewall enabled? | 21:00 |
| scriptwarlock | bambam_: chkrootkit -h | 21:00 |

| Flannel | barfster: Then assuming it's installed, gdm should start, you may have to ctrl-alt-f7 to get there. | 21:00 |
| knight6 | hullo there | 21:00 |
| barfster | Ehh | 21:00 |
| jose | scriptwarlock:got it now. just go down the line cleaning? | 21:00 |

| humanfly | if i have a envyng core package can i use dpkg to install its dependancies ? | 21:01 |
| azaret | no no sorry | 21:01 |
| scriptwarlock | jose: yeah just do the package cleaner | 21:01 |
| Flannel | humanfly: If you already have the dependencies, yes. If not, use gdebi | 21:01 |
| scriptwarlock | check everything on it including the kernel | 21:01 |
| luishasbon | is there any emulator for xbox or ps2 for linuxx???? | 21:01 |
| humanfly | thanks Flannel | 21:01 |
| spiky_ | Slimp: i dont have to log into machine to start with. set mine to log on auto | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis | humanfly: a trick ive used befor is to use gdebi.. 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb' i find instgalls all needed deps for that .deb | 21:01 |
| barfster | Flannel: Here is the case, I managed to boot an install of ubuntu 10.04 from a memory stick in my monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 400PXn, now I would like to manually do the install process | 21:02 |
| barfster | fdisk is done | 21:02 |

| Demsome | anybody have vaio ea model comp? | 21:35 |
| Sylphid | quentusrex, That happens when the user can't do a stat() on the files (which requires execute permissions), but can read the directory entries (which requires read access on the directory). So you get a list of files in the directory, but can't get any information on the files because they can't be read. | 21:35 |

| Grayhane | sebsebseb, No using an older bersion, 9.10 | 22:49 |

| Imaginativeone | I was going to do something with Knoppix but I can't get anything to boot | 23:18 |
| osmario | hiexpo I'll try again and return to chat. Thanks for the moment. | 23:18 |
| slidinghorn | Imaginativeone, here's a couple links to start with: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-restore-grub-boot-loader-after-installing-windows.html & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 23:19 |
| Reallycool | is there a way for me to access my encrypted ubuntu folder outside of ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| hiexpo | osmario, sourceforge ? | 23:19 |
| blendmaster1024 | I can't burn a cd with k3b because cdrdao errors with "err opening /dev/sr0 exclusively". lsof shows nothing. it's a blank CD and isn't mounted. how do I start troubleshooting this? | 23:20 |
| shubbar | aeon-ltd, it worked, thanks, i removed the sound card input and left the usb mic input in sound preference but still i needed to select that radio button | 23:21 |
| kyle_ | iceroot: firewall seems OK. anything else you can think of? | 23:21 |
| Imaginativeone | slidinghorn: no dice | 23:21 |
| slidinghorn | Imaginativeone, there's no way you could have read all that and tried that in such a short period of time | 23:21 |
| hiexpo | osmario, good luck amigo | 23:21 |
| ottermaton | I can't get the settings I prefer for sleep / hibernation to work on my Vostro v13, it just seems that it suspends or hibernates when it wants to. How can I get it to do so when I want it to? | 23:22 |

| blendmaster1024 | anyone? | 23:23 |
| trojan_spike | ?? | 23:24 |
| Imaginativeone | slidinghorn: sure it's possible. my system won't boot | 23:24 |
| ottermaton | slidinghorn, I've tried that. I doesn't suspend or hibernate when at the times I set | 23:24 |
| Imaginativeone | not much to read | 23:24 |
| iceroot | kyle_: the status was open? | 23:24 |
| sesev | does it matter, if I install ubuntu 9.10 and then update it to newer one, or if I install 10.04? | 23:24 |
| slidinghorn | Imaginativeone, you need a livecd and use it to recover grub...very possible. | 23:25 |
| iceroot | sesev: yes, 9.10 will use ext3 as default (imo) and 10.04 will use ext4 as default | 23:25 |
| j_squidy | #leetboys | 23:25 |
| iceroot | j_squidy: yes, this is #ubuntu | 23:26 |
| Excurion | I've got a problem with my touchscreen/ati drivers. If I stick with the standard ubuntu 10.04 kernel, my touchscreen wont work and I'll have to find a way to patch the drivers included in the kernel to get it working (somehow), or if I switch to the 2.6.35-rc1 kernel, my touchscreen is working but my ati radeon hd 5700 card won't work because the fglrx driver won't install. | 23:27 |
| Excurion | More information like the error-log when trying to install the fglrx driver ont he 2.6.35-rc1 kernel are in my topic that I posted at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9577366#post9577366. Any help would be appreciated | 23:27 |
| melissawm | hi guys, i'm having trouble building python 32-bit on a 64-bit machine running 10.04. when i "make" i get "Failed to build these modules:" and then a list of modules including binascii (which I need for psyco) | 23:27 |
| blendmaster1024 | melissawm, why are you building 32bit on a 64bit? | 23:28 |
| melissawm | blendmaster1024: because I need psyco, which only works on 32-bit python | 23:28 |
| blendmaster1024 | melissawm, and have you asked in #python too? not that you shouldn't ask here :) | 23:28 |
| melissawm | blendmaster1024: i'll do that too, thanks :) | 23:28 |
| slidinghorn | Imaginativeone, when you say you installed xp, you mean you installed it on a virtual machine, correct? and when you say "boot" do you mean the actual computer, or the virtual machine? | 23:28 |
| ikonia | melissawm: that would be a worthwhile project to submit for packaging | 23:29 |
| melissawm | ikonia: you mean python 32bit on a 64bit machine or 64bit psyco? | 23:30 |
| ikonia | melissawm: 64bit psyco won't work from what I'm reading, to a multi-lib python on 64bit would be helpful, then a 32bit psyco | 23:31 |
| hiexpo | ikonia, i was gona say a 32 for u but you were on it :) | 23:32 |
| melissawm | ikonia: yes that's right, multi-lib python would be a good thing. but i don't know the right process to submit a project for packaging | 23:32 |
| smegzor | An update replaced my firefox with the 3.6.6 version. It failed to copy over the settings for some of my addons. Is the old firefox still there or do I need to downgrade to rescue those settings? | 23:32 |
| melissawm | in #python they tell my I should maybe apt-get some of the 32bit libraries, but I don't know which ones | 23:33 |
| andre_ | Hi, My print is Epson Lx-300 model. What i do to install ? Linux Xubuntu version. | 23:33 |
| kyle_ | ictroot: yes | 23:33 |

| ubottu | andre_: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 23:33 |
| hiexpo | ikonia, i have found that a 32 bit sys works betta on a 64 bit machine | 23:33 |
| andre_ | thanks. | 23:34 |
| nikitis | Any kernel and input experts on? | 23:35 |
| blendmaster1024 | nikitis, nope. and they never will be. | 23:35 |
| blendmaster1024 | !ask | 23:35 |
| 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. :-) | 23:35 |
| nikitis | blendmaster1024, i've asked my question like 20 times in last 4 days, | 23:36 |
| nikitis | blendmaster1024, i'm frankly quite tired of typing it out for it not to get asked | 23:36 |
| blendmaster1024 | nikitis, then ask it again. having asked it before doesn't change that you shouldn't ask to ask. | 23:36 |
| blendmaster1024 | then save it | 23:36 |
| blendmaster1024 | it's bound to be answered eventually | 23:36 |
| opij | how do I find out if my integrated graphics has tv-out capability? there is only the vga port. | 23:36 |
| blendmaster1024 | opij, er. that means it doesn't | 23:37 |
| slidinghorn | nikitis, not to discourage you from asking here, but have you tried posting in the forums as well? Sometimes you can get better support one place and other times in another: http://forums.ubuntu.org | 23:37 |
| nikitis | slidinghorn, done and done | 23:37 |
| hiexpo | nikitis, if know one knows the answer you will not get a reply everyone here does this on there own time no pay :0 | 23:37 |
| opij | nikitis: press the up arrow to repeat your question | 23:38 |
| slidinghorn | hiexpo, they don't pay you?!? :-x | 23:38 |
| nikitis | hiexpo, half my problem is that I don't know how to troubleshoot what's wrong to formulate a proper question. | 23:38 |
| Maletor | If I'm trying to chroot a directory with SSH do I have to mount a directory as opposed to linking it? | 23:38 |
| Maletor | Why shouldn't I just use RSSH? | 23:38 |
| hiexpo | nope | slidinghorn | nikitis watch what it does | 23:39 |

| osmario | hiexpo I came back. On Terminal, open folder syasokoban-2.0.1, type ./configure and receive message "file ou directory not found" | 23:39 |
| nikitis | My problem is: My new mouse from Madcatz, the cyborg R.A.T. 7, when plugged in after a few seconds starts to freeze up the display mangers whether it be KDE or Gnome. Tried on multiple computers. How should I proceed to trouble shoot from here? | 23:40 |
| Maletor | nikitis: throw the mouse out the window? | 23:40 |
| extraclassic | I was looking for some advice on getting Samba to work with a Windows computer....I can ping the computer but can't mount any shares | 23:41 |
| DanDare | nikitis, i had similar problems.. i disabled compiz and everything else was good | 23:41 |
| nikitis | Maletor, lol. It's that good of a mouse though. That i'd rather go through the pain and hell to get it to work | 23:41 |
| nikitis | DanDare, do you have that mouse? | 23:41 |
| DanDare | nikitis, no that mouse!! another one | 23:41 |
| Maletor | Ya compiz is great when it is working. And the suck when it is not. Luckily gnome-shell obolishes it | 23:41 |
| hiexpo | osmario placefilein homedir / then cd file name / ./configure / sudo make / sudo make install | 23:41 |
| nikitis | DanDare, i'll try it without compiz | 23:42 |
| Optimus55 | Can someone help me get cpu scaling working properly? my cpufreq-info just reports no or unknown cpufrq driver is active and i'm on a laptop with a p3 mobile | 23:42 |

| bhalash | Is there any way to echo the output of a command into its exit message? | 23:43 |
| blendmaster1024 | bhalash, as in ...? | 23:43 |
| bhalash | @blendmaster1024 | 23:43 |
| Optimus55 | anyone? know how to fix cpu scaling on a thinkpad? p3 mobile | 23:43 |
| bhalash | blendmaster1024: I have a curl script to fetch the contents of a remote text file. The contents are literally 1 or 0. If it is "1" I want to change the exit message of curl to 1 | 23:44 |
| bhalash | Uh | 23:44 |
| bhalash | Best example I can give for it | 23:44 |
| gethoht | p3 mobile... you might want to disable scaling ... i'm not sure if that processor even supports scalign | 23:44 |
| nikitis | DanDare, nope even with compiz it does it | 23:44 |
| nikitis | with it disabled I mean | 23:44 |
| TechMiX | ok, what the hell should i do to install/use/connect to internet/... this usb modem? :D vendor num:198f, product num:0220 | 23:45 |
| Maletor | I want to restrict users to a certain folder in my home directory through sftp. How do I do this. Force chroot requires 'ln -s' (which doesn't work) and mounting the directory is a pain and expensive. | 23:45 |
| bhalash | I could probably write a small test loop and change the exit status... | 23:45 |
| Optimus55 | gethoht: yeah it does, works well actually. works well on live cd then after i installed to disk it broke. makes no sense to me | 23:45 |
| blendmaster1024 | bhalash, hold on a sec | 23:45 |
| DanDare | nikitis, its a USB mouse ? | 23:45 |
| nikitis | DanDare, yes it is good sir | 23:46 |
| king11 | quick question can asterisk work on a regular intel laptop that runs ubuntu 10.04 | 23:46 |
| nikitis | DanDare, i've tried it on Kubuntu and gnome on two different machines | 23:46 |
| DanDare | nikitis, just random but I would start trying mouse on other USB ports | 23:46 |
| DanDare | strange | 23:46 |
| blendmaster1024 | bhalash, (exitcode="$(<curl command that outputs 1 or 0>)";exit $exitcode ) | 23:46 |
| nikitis | DanDare, i've done that as well | 23:46 |
| nikitis | it works on Windows..... but obviously I want to game in linux | 23:46 |
| bhalash | blendmaster1024: awesome, thank you sir! | 23:46 |
| humanfly | anyone have the unofficial envyng working with an ati video card or know a hack ? | 23:47 |
| blendmaster1024 | bhalash, note that that won't work unless curl ALWAYS prints out 0 or 1 | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | greetings. | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | good day, sirs. | 23:47 |
| ikonia | hi | 23:47 |
| bhalash | blendmaster1024: It will (in my case). I'm writing a simple remote-wipe script using crontab | 23:47 |
| nikitis | DanDare, doing a tail -f on /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages produces nothing except for the message of when it gets plugged in. | 23:47 |
| humanfly | :/ | 23:48 |
| blendmaster1024 | bhalash, HOLY CRAP that's not GOOD ENOUGH | 23:48 |
| TechMiX | any help? :( i've just switched my wimax modem from usb_storage mode to usbserial. but now, i dont know hoe to connect to it? network manager doesn't recognize anything :( | 23:48 |
| magicianlord | greetings. good day, sirs. | 23:48 |
| DanDare | nikitis, searching on internet i can see another people with exactly same problem as yours. So definetely theres anything incompatible with the model | 23:48 |
| hiexpo | !yell | 23:48 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:48 |

| hiexpo | nikitis, be careful with lol not accepted here | 23:50 |
| nikitis | DanDare, but i wish to get this problem rolling. I personally think that the DPI on the mouse is too high for the linux kernel | 23:50 |
| seidos | why is metacity using 98% of my cpu? I just got kicked out of gnome, and when I logged back in, metacity was using 90%+? | 23:50 |
| blendmaster1024 | sebsebseb, what did I say? I just said that so he wouldn't act too soon and damage his system with my code | 23:50 |
| slidinghorn | sebsebseb, blendmaster1024 I don't think "crap" qualifies as cussing or inappropriate =\ | 23:51 |
| Maletor | I want to restrict users to a certain folder in my home | 23:51 |

| alexander_ | If I have memory alloted to a virtual machine, is that affecting my system when I'm running it with the virtual machine OFF? | 23:51 |
| sebsebseb | slidinghorn: I think it does with the other word before it, but opinions will differ on this one. | 23:51 |
| blendmaster1024 | alexander_, should not be | 23:52 |
| hiexpo | yes its saving it | 23:52 |
| TechMiX | alexander_ : nop | 23:52 |
| magicianlord | does anyone know why sometimes ubuntu usage goes from 100mb to 400mb for no reason? | 23:52 |
| blendmaster1024 | alexander_, however, that doesn't promise it. just says it's unlikely | 23:53 |
| slidinghorn | magicianlord, an application is using the memory...fluctuations can occur throughout an applications run-time. | 23:53 |
| seidos | why can't I kill metacity? | 23:53 |
| seidos | I type sudo kill pid and it won't kill. | 23:54 |

| hiexpo | killall metacity | 23:54 |
| soreau | seidos: Why are you trying to kill your window manager? | 23:54 |
| soreau | seidos: Use a different window manager to replace it | 23:54 |
| blendmaster1024 | seidos, add a -9. but be very careful it's the right PID | 23:54 |
| magicianlord | thanks, hiexpo | 23:54 |
| DanDare | nikitis, maybe it will work not just for logitech mouses http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/logitech-applet | 23:54 |
