|---|---|---|
| Proz01d | oosp | 00:04 |
| Proz01d | i need cmake | 00:04 |
| holstein | Proz01d: that .deb doesnt work? | 00:05 |
| Proz01d | i just want to make sure i get the latest version | 00:05 |
| Proz01d | holstein how do i get the above? | 00:17 |
| holstein | Proz01d: ? | 00:17 |
| Proz01d | well i have a link like this http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/universe/e/eurephia/eurephia_1.0.1-3build1_i386.deb but i have only ever used apt-get | 00:18 |
| Proz01d | not sure how to do it with a .deb file | 00:18 |
| holstein | Proz01d: you just click on the .deb | 00:19 |
| Proz01d | forgot to mention i'm on the CLI | 00:19 |
| holstein | OH | 00:19 |
| Proz01d | it's ubuntu server | 00:19 |
| holstein | cd /to/where_ever and run wget URL.deb | 00:20 |
| holstein | then sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb | 00:20 |
| holstein | like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware | 00:20 |
| holstein | Proz01d: it might not work though* | 00:21 |
| Proz01d | how do i remove it | 00:21 |
| holstein | -r should do it | 00:22 |
| holstein | *assuming you get it to install | 00:22 |
| holstein | check out dpkg -help | 00:22 |
| Proz01d | thanks | 00:22 |
| philipballew | can i have terminal apps but on ubuntu server edition or do those apps not run in cli but only terminal? | 01:58 |
| philipballew | sorry for the stupid question | 01:58 |
| holstein | philipballew: its the same | 01:59 |
| holstein | *basically | 01:59 |
| philipballew | im going to set up a desktop to act as a dedacated media server for playing my music and i want to have the ability if need be use a cli music player to play music | 02:00 |
| holstein | sure, just open a terminal | 02:00 |
| holstein | philipballew: you might want to check out the application screen too | 02:00 |
| philipballew | how so? | 02:01 |
| holstein | im running irssi in screen (which is quite common) i can connect into irssi running in screen from any other machine | 02:01 |
| holstein | screen bascially allows a terminal app to remain running in the background | 02:02 |
| philipballew | so i can loggin to my server and play music directly off it from my laptop if i want to then? | 02:02 |
| holstein | depends really, on what you use to play it, and if you are playing the files locally (server side) or streaming them (client side) | 02:03 |
| holstein | just depends on what you want to do | 02:03 |
| philipballew | i was thinking set up the server on my network and maybe play directly off that or have it locally stream to a laptop that is old but can still just sit there plugged in to the headphone jack | 02:04 |
| holstein | sure, the options are limitless really | 02:05 |
| philipballew | its the limitless options that make me confused :) | 02:14 |
| ryan_ | hello everyone | 02:22 |
| ryan_ | I need some help with my mouse going nutz on my ubuntu laptop | 02:22 |
| ryan_ | I have done a ton of research and I can only come up with some simple solutions to the issue. The issue is the mouse jumps around the screen all over the place uncontrolably | 02:23 |
| ryan_ | and the only thing I can do is disable the touch pad using "xinput set-prop....." command to stop it and use the eraser mouse for a while | 02:24 |
| ryan_ | bummer... is no one here? | 02:25 |
| Omsniffiscent | Can someone help me get this working? http://www.mangler.org/2010/02/mangler-jukebox-a-ventrilo-client-that-plays-mp3s/ | 03:26 |
| Omsniffiscent | It says I need these additional libraries, but I don't know how to get them or check to see if I already have them. libmpg123-dev libmpg123-0 libspeexdsp-dev libspeexdsp1 | 03:27 |
| Omsniffiscent | Can someone tell me where the /trunk folder is located? Is that a Mangler thing or a system thing? | 03:28 |
| wastrel | hi dere | 03:30 |
| Omsniffiscent | Hello. | 03:30 |
| wastrel | dpkg -l | grep libmpg123 | 03:30 |
| wastrel | or libspeedx | 03:30 |
| wastrel | or you could just sudo apt-get intsall libmpg123-0 libmpg123-dev libspeex1 libspeex-dev | 03:32 |
| Omsniffiscent | cool. It's doing stuff. | 03:33 |
| Omsniffiscent | Now I need to find my Mangler folder somehow. | 03:33 |
| wastrel | what's a mangler folder | 03:33 |
| Omsniffiscent | Mangler is a program. | 03:34 |
| Omsniffiscent | I need to find where it is on my computer. | 03:34 |
| wastrel | you downloaded it? | 03:35 |
| Omsniffiscent | It's installed. Somewhere. | 03:35 |
| wastrel | how did you install it? | 03:35 |
| holstein | looks like theres a ppa | 03:35 |
| holstein | https://launchpad.net/~vincent-c/+archive/ppa/+build/2454856 | 03:35 |
| Omsniffiscent | with a deb from their website. | 03:35 |
| wastrel | best way to find things imho is "sudo updatedb" then use locate | 03:37 |
| wastrel | so locate mangler | 03:37 |
| wastrel | updatedb may take a while | 03:37 |
| Omsniffiscent | cool. Found the folder I'm looking for. Now to compile... this'll be interesting. | 03:49 |
| frannyboo | im trying to install 11.04 on a netbook via flashdrive, but it doesn't seem to be working | 03:51 |
| holstein | frannyboo: you have the normal live iso image? | 03:51 |
| frannyboo | I can boot the USB stick fine, and when I select install ubuntu, goes through a bunch of text, then a command prompt type thing | 03:52 |
| frannyboo | I do, but no CD drive on my netbook | 03:52 |
| holstein | frannyboo: IF you have the normal live CD iso, you should be able to boot live, and get into the desktop | 03:53 |
| holstein | do that instead of selecting 'install' | 03:53 |
| holstein | im going to guess you have a graphics card that is not well supported | 03:53 |
| frannyboo | aah the graphics card makes sense, what about the busybox that it takes me to? (the command prompt thing) | 03:54 |
| holstein | depends | 03:55 |
| holstein | you could also have a bad image, or the stick is not working properly in some way | 03:55 |
| holstein | frannyboo: try booting the live CD image to the desktop and we'll go from there* | 03:57 |
| frannyboo | Trying that now | 04:00 |
| frannyboo | ok it still takes me to the busy box, not the ubuntu desktop | 04:03 |
| holstein | frannyboo: thats what you'll want to troubleshoot | 04:03 |
| holstein | when im installing, i want to see a live desktop before installing | 04:03 |
| holstein | i want to run some tests, and see how *all* of the hardware works | 04:04 |
| holstein | frannyboo: have you tried 10.04? what netbook is it? | 04:04 |
| frannyboo | dell inspiron mini, with win 7 starter | 04:05 |
| frannyboo | haven't tried 10.04, was thinking of maybe lubuntu? | 04:05 |
| holstein | doesnt matter what OS is on it... whats the #'s? | 04:05 |
| holstein | frannyboo: all the variants are going to have the same kernel for the most part | 04:05 |
| holstein | frannyboo: i put ubuntu on a dell mini 9 once... i downloaded the ubuntu image from dell actually | 04:06 |
| holstein | there was a tricky wifi card in there that they had already set up | 04:06 |
| frannyboo | holstien: CPU: intel atom @ 1.66 ghz HDD: 160GB | 04:08 |
| frannyboo | hmm might look into that | 04:08 |
| holstein | frannyboo: flip it over, and get some model #'s and google them | 04:09 |
| holstein | like for me, "ubuntu asus eeepc 1001p" | 04:09 |
| frannyboo | will do, thanks!! | 04:09 |
| holstein | sure, anytime | 04:10 |
| holstein | frannyboo: sometimes its not 'out of the box' easy | 04:10 |
| frannyboo | ok I found ubuntu on the dell site, am going to give that a try, will let you know!! | 04:14 |
| holstein | frannyboo: :) | 04:15 |

| DavLin | Trying to get 1920x1080@60Hz to work on an AMD E-350 Zacate, ati hd-6310, on 11.04 x64 with amd's v11.5 proprietary driver. All i get is 1920x1080@25 or 30Hz. Tried adding new modelines from cvt to xorg.conf and also "UseEDIDFreqs" "False" but still no change. Anyone have an idea or a pointer in some direction? | 12:12 |
| DavLin | btw, setup works fine with 1920x1080 at 60Hz with a windows os so the hardware is capable of it. | 12:13 |

| coalwater | vu1kan, i never really tried this under linux so i cant really help | 12:58 |
| vu1kan | the instructions i found @ ubuntu.com are pretty straightforward...what i'd like to know is why i get the 'file exists' error, or, how to accomplish <sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.101> | 12:59 |
| vu1kan | in some other manner | 13:00 |
| vu1kan | . o O ( stupid touchy enter key ) | 13:00 |
| DavLin | vu1kan: take a look in /etc/network/interfaces | 13:04 |
| DavLin | and it should be up not ip.. ie up route add [-net|-host] <host/net>/<mask> gw <host/IP> dev <Interface> | 13:04 |
| DavLin | "up route add [-net|-host] <host/net>/<mask> gw <host/IP> dev <Interface>" | 13:04 |
| vu1kan | ah...i bet that's it...a typo in the howto | 13:05 |
| DavLin | :) | 13:05 |
| vu1kan | tsk | 13:06 |
| vu1kan | "up: up command not found" | 13:06 |
| vu1kan | also "sudo: up:" returns the same | 13:06 |
| vu1kan | DavLin: hmm... /ect/network/interfaces contains "auto lo" "iface lo inet loopback" on the client | 13:07 |
| DavLin | sec.. | 13:09 |
| DavLin | try looking at the examples here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html | 13:09 |

| Gareth7015 | Hi, can anyone here help with a wireless network problem? | 13:11 |
| vu1kan | Gareth7015: what's the problem? | 13:12 |
| Gareth7015 | i'm running the newest Ubuntu distro on an Acer Aspire laptop and it keeps failing to connect :S | 13:12 |
| vu1kan | has the wifi ever connected under that distro? | 13:12 |
| Gareth7015 | i only installed about an hour ago, so no | 13:12 |
| Gareth7015 | but it does bring up the list of available networks n/p... | 13:13 |
| vu1kan | try hardwiring ethernet and running <sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade> | 13:13 |
| vu1kan | maybe you need a driver that wasn't on the disc | 13:13 |
| Gareth7015 | is that a repository? i'm pretty new to this | 13:13 |
| vu1kan | that command updates your local repo list and upgrades all of your packages | 13:14 |
| vu1kan | if you just do the <sudo apt-get update> it should tell you if there are newer versions of installed packages | 13:14 |
| bioterror | !apt | Gareth7015 | 13:15 |
| ubot2 | Gareth7015: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 13:15 |
| Gareth7015 | i tried that in the command line, but it didn't work :( | 13:18 |
| Gareth7015 | gareth@ubuntu:~$ <sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade> | 13:18 |
| Gareth7015 | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 13:18 |
| bioterror | without < > | 13:18 |
| Gareth7015 | AM I missing something/ making newbie errors? | 13:19 |
| vu1kan | yea | 13:19 |
| Gareth7015 | ahhh | 13:19 |
| Gareth7015 | thanks, i'll go try it :) | 13:19 |
| vu1kan | sorry about that...in the irc channels command line input is usually inside <>, don't type those into the terminal | 13:19 |
| Gareth7015 | n/p, i'll get used to this yet :) | 13:19 |
| vu1kan | totally forgot...it's been a while since i've logged on here | 13:19 |
| Gareth7015 | Woah, that seems to have downloaded quite a bit in terms of updates lol | 13:21 |
| vu1kan | yea, if it's a fresh-off-the-disc install, it would | 13:21 |
| Gareth7015 | yeah, it was straight off the 'Wubi' installer off the website. | 13:21 |
| vu1kan | once that finishes, log out, log back in and try your wifi | 13:21 |
| Gareth7015 | hopefully will be able to get some work done lol, thanks for the help :) | 13:22 |
| vu1kan | so, DavLin, if you're still around, i'd wanna <route add -host 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0>? | 13:22 |
| vu1kan | np, Gareth7015...hope that fixed ya up | 13:23 |
| Gareth7015 | just while i have you, is there anything similar to Piriform's 'Speccy' for Ubuntu? it just gives you detailed system information... | 13:23 |
| vu1kan | hardinfo | 13:23 |
| Gareth7015 | cool, i'll check that out | 13:23 |
| vu1kan | <sudo apt-get install hardinfo> should get it for ya | 13:23 |
| vu1kan | it shows up as 'system profiler and benchmarking utility' in tools under the ubuntu menu | 13:24 |
| vu1kan | (-Utility...just 'system profiler and benchmarking'...oy it's gonna be a long day, lol) | 13:26 |
| Gareth7015 | haha, yeah you could say that :P | 13:27 |
| Gareth7015 | i just got my laptop back from being repaired and they gave me the wrong monitor :| | 13:28 |
| vu1kan | weak sauce | 13:28 |
| Gareth7015 | so i decided to fiddle around with the laptop and see if i could improve it any | 13:28 |
| Gareth7015 | and it actually seems to be higher-res in Ubuntu instead of Windows 7...? | 13:28 |
| Gareth7015 | need to get hardinfo to see if its all in my head lol | 13:29 |
| vu1kan | hey, hey...progress on my issue...<sudo route add -host 192.168.1.101 dev eth0> appears to have done what <sudo ip route add default via 192.xx> was supposed to do | 13:33 |

| lapaga | is there a difference between installing from the livecd (when you first boot) or the desktop icon? | 16:24 |
| coalwater | nope | 16:25 |
| coalwater | u mean the first choice (try or install) and the actual install link that is placed on the desktop | 16:26 |
| coalwater | it's the same, but i prefer the desktop icon , cause i could waste time on firefox or something while installing | 16:26 |
| lapaga | yes that is what i mean | 16:26 |
| lapaga | thanks | 16:27 |
| wastrel | i like installing | 16:31 |
| charlie-tca | The only time it seems to matter is if you need a special connection setup for wireless | 16:32 |
| charlie-tca | That's easier from the live desktop than the install only | 16:33 |
| lapaga | i was wondering because I have a limited ram system (256 M) and it is using some swap already | 16:36 |

| NewUserPlzHelpMe | Hello everyone! | 18:01 |
| coalwater | that was fast | 18:02 |
| philipballew | NewUserPlzHelpMe hello | 18:13 |
| lapaga | can one post multi line questions or will that be considered flooding? just do not want to type several lines and get booted. | 18:19 |
| lapaga | I have a computer that the bios will only give the option to one hd. My first hd has WinXP on it and will be installing Xubuntu on the second hd... | 18:42 |
| lapaga | if I put grub on the second hd will it be able to boot both? | 18:43 |
| lapaga | little missed word...will only give the option to boot one hd. | 18:45 |
| coalwater | no lapaga , it doesn't work like that | 18:48 |
| coalwater | you need the xubuntu installation to update the first boot loader | 18:48 |
| coalwater | and keep the first hard disk as primary boot | 18:49 |
| coalwater | don't ask me how, cause i don't think i know the answer to that question, it should be done automatically if you are installing while both harddisks connected | 18:50 |
| lapaga | so when I install grub do I tell it to install to sda (XP) or sdb(Xubuntu)? | 18:50 |
| charlie-tca | lapaga: installing grub on the first drive should allow it to decide to boot the second, even if the bios didn't | 18:50 |
| charlie-tca | install it to sda | 18:51 |
| bioterror | sda | 18:51 |
| lapaga | won't that overwrite the XP bootloader? | 18:51 |
| bioterror | no sda1, no sda2,just sda | 18:51 |
| bioterror | lapaga, no | 18:51 |
| bioterror | grub loads before windows chainloader | 18:52 |
| coalwater | even if it overwrites it, grub will still recognize windows and will give u an option to boot it | 18:52 |
| bioterror | ? | 18:52 |
| coalwater | i think :D | 18:52 |
| coalwater | lol | 18:52 |
| coalwater | that's what it did to me | 18:52 |
| lapaga | this is the only thing that has stopped me from installing | 18:53 |
| coalwater | i usually just remove the windows boot loader, i prefer grub :D | 18:53 |
| lapaga | so grub will still write the boot files to sdb but put something into mbr ? of sda? | 18:54 |
| lapaga | or am I all wrong in my thinking | 18:55 |
| bioterror | if it feels so difficult, be a man and install over XP ;) | 18:55 |
| lapaga | probably not the best option:) | 18:56 |
| lapaga | one other question...do I put a boot flag on sdb ? | 19:13 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 19:25 |
| Who[ares | hello everyone ! I'm trying to get help on my Ubuntu 11.04 installation. I used Wubi and now, when I reboot my PC, the dual-boot doesn't appear ... Does anyone know why ? | 20:31 |
| holstein | Who[ares: lets start with what appears? | 20:31 |
| Who[ares | pretty much nothing ... it goes to win xp directly | 20:32 |
| holstein | i would look in the winxp boot loader thing | 20:32 |
| holstein | *i forget what thats called | 20:32 |
| Who[ares | boot.ini | 20:32 |
| Who[ares | I did and there's nothing in there | 20:32 |
| Who[ares | (nothing about ubuntu at least ) ... | 20:33 |
| holstein | Who[ares: i would say something failed | 20:33 |
| Who[ares | ;-) | 20:33 |
| Who[ares | I certainly know that .... but what and how to fix it ? | 20:33 |
| holstein | do you see the entry in add-remove programs? | 20:33 |
| Who[ares | yep | 20:34 |
| holstein | Who[ares: i would uninstall, and try again | 20:34 |
| holstein | maybe double check the image md5 sum | 20:34 |
| Who[ares | I tried to find the log file and see what happened but I couldn't ... | 20:34 |
| Who[ares | I re-installed about 5 times | 20:34 |
| holstein | you might need to edit that boot.ini manually somehow | 20:35 |
| holstein | Who[ares: did you try 10.04? | 20:35 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Who[ares | nope, haven't tried 10.04 ... | 20:35 |
| holstein | thats an option... also, just dual booting, which is always going to be preffered | 20:36 |
| Who[ares | I think I'll try 10.04 ... thanks man | 20:38 |
| holstein | Who[ares: sure, enjoy :) | 20:39 |
| Who[ares | is there such a big diff between 10.04 and 11.04 ? | 20:41 |
| holstein | Who[ares: yeah | 20:41 |
| Who[ares | damn :( | 20:43 |
| holstein | the look and feel has changed since 10.04, now 11.04 is running the unity instead of gnome. 10.04 is an LTS (long term support) so it will be supported for 3+years instead of 18 months | 20:43 |
| Who[ares | is it easy to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 & | 20:43 |
| Who[ares | ? | 20:43 |
| Who[ares | 'cause if it is, I could simply upgrade afterward | 20:44 |
| holstein | Who[ares: you wouldnt want to do that | 20:45 |
| Who[ares | how come ? | 20:45 |
| holstein | you would choose to install and run the LTS verion (10.04), or just go ahead and use the latest (11.04) | 20:45 |
| Who[ares | I wish I could use 11.04 but the damn installation doesn't work :S | 20:45 |
| holstein | Who[ares: the biggest reason is that it would take the computer about 16 hours to do that, assuming you have a decent internet connection | 20:46 |
| holstein | Who[ares: does 11.04 run live? | 20:46 |
| Who[ares | what do you mean ? | 20:46 |
| holstein | try burning a few CD's, 10.04 and 11.04 | 20:46 |
| holstein | and dont install, just run them live, from the CD... without installing | 20:46 |
| holstein | then, you can get an idea of how well your hardware is supported | 20:46 |
| holstein | ALSO, if you have the ram to spare, you can always just install virtual box or VM ware on windows, and run ubuntu in there | 20:47 |

| gmulak | Video help - please. I have a video CD from Costco off of my Video camera. What programs do I need to download into Ubuntu to edit it? | 21:52 |

| holstein | gmulak: theres a bunch really | 21:53 |
| holstein | and they all do different things.. ive heard open shot is easy-ish | 21:53 |
| holstein | i like pitivi | 21:53 |
| gmulak | OK - thanks. Just import it and then? | 21:53 |
| gmulak | Does it have soud editing capability? | 21:54 |
| holstein | gmulak: learn how to edit video ;) | 21:54 |
| holstein | i think its important to realize that what you are asking to do is *not* trivial | 21:54 |
