[00:00] moh: in System -> Administration -> Shared Folders [00:00] TTY=pts is from a local terminal and TTY=tty Is fron an ssh/telnet session? [00:00] moh: see if it tells you you need to install file sharing support [00:00] PirateHead, Why should I use public ftp? Then it only tries to connect anonymously, so I couldn't enter my usr and pwd [00:00] JJtech, ah it loaded up , for some reason it just doesnt show me the process of it loading everything , thanks [00:00] Any one know more about video driver, and monitor setups >_> [00:00] rondonson: ^_^ kk.. np :) [00:01] riddareralf: If you don't want to connect publicly, use the FTP (with login) option. [00:01] PirateHead, I CAN'T connect publicly. But with this virtual drive I can't open a file on the fly and edit [00:01] PirateHead, But I suppose that's normal since it's still FTP [00:02] So people, what do you do if you erase your PATH? How can you restore it to default or whatever? === michael is now known as smth [00:02] riddareralf: Some programs, ones that have built-in support for Gnome VFS, will be able to edit "on the fly" as you say, without having to download, edit, and upload. [00:02] DanThirst, do you have the graphics drivers enabled as well [00:02] dfd [00:02] i think how would i find out ? [00:03] riddareralf: Other programs don't have that support, but you might be able to find it in a plugin or patch if it's important to your workflow. [00:03] PirateHead, Ah okay, thanks [00:03] DanThirst, view this page and see if it helps http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 [00:03] !download [00:03] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [00:03] hi it's me [00:04] Is there a way in Ubuntu to upgrade to the latest version of Wine without breaking anything? === DM|_ is now known as DM| [00:05] PirateHead, what would you break [00:06] soldats: My current Wine installation, the one that came with stock Gutsy. [00:06] non-LTS ubuntu releases get security updates for 18 months, right? [00:06] PirateHead, i really dont think upgrading it will hurt your system in any way === pipegeek_ is now known as pipegeek [00:07] hey guys how can i install an icon package? [00:07] i just downloaded an osx one ^_^ [00:07] soldats: Alrighty then, here goes nothing. :-) [00:07] !icon [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] !package [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] !pixmaps [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about pixmaps - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] !LAN [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about lan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:08] Hello from a serious newb [00:08] !google [00:08] Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux [00:08] anyone know how i can install the icon packages? [00:09] Grav3Mind: hi there again... just untar the files into your .icons folder [00:09] Anyone here know how to fix apt-get / synaptec ? [00:09] Grav3Mind, maybe google does? [00:09] hey jayde ^_^ [00:09] jayde_drag0n, depends on which application he is installing icons for [00:09] ShaunB, what is wrong with it [00:09] Spits out this error whenever I attempt an update or install a package.Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [00:09] Grav3Mind: home/yourname/ hidden files .icons thoe true [00:10] ShaunB, are the download mirrors correct [00:10] They appear to be [00:10] I've run apt-get update [00:10] should there be a index.theme and development and scalable folders? [00:10] And run apt-get autoremove [00:10] CaptainMorgan: true... tho i just drag and drop when i'm just changing an icons picture [00:11] so what interesting things can i do with ubuntu [00:11] i just installed [00:11] that shows some packages that can be removed yet it wont uninstall/install anything [00:11] ShaunB, when doing apt-get you need to specify the package name as well [00:11] Grav3Mind: unless captain knows of another way .. if you want to change the picture of an icon .. like on my desktop.. i just went into properties.. and dragged the picture of what i wanted onto the picture of whats showsn in properties and it changes... i haven't figured out how to make it system wide yet tho [00:11] hi all, i just set up ssh and i can ssh to localhost fine, but when i ssh from wan i get connected to my router, how would i get to my computer (router is 10.1.1.1 computer is 10.1.1.4 if it helps) [00:12] ShaunB, like apt-get install pidgin or apt-get autoremove pidgin [00:12] If I use synaptec, it gives me the same error in the console window [00:12] um why did i just get 10 dcc requests to send me Fedora 8 iso ? [00:12] Evanlec: spammer, I should think [00:12] fedora 8 isn't very good [00:12] Micheru, you need to forward port 22 to 10.1.1.4 [00:12] Evanlec: some little kiddy undoubtedly found it very funny [00:12] Evanlec, yes it is a spammer you may be redirected if it happens a lot [00:12] Funny thing is it references Hotplug yet says its not installed when I try to remove [00:12] ah, thought it would be something like that thanks [00:12] /window level -JOINS -PARTS -QUITS -NICKS [00:12] fungz0r: There are lots of cool things you can do. [00:12] Err, oops. [00:13] CaptainMorgan: do you know how to change the icon picture for where it shows up on the ... um whats the ubuntu equivalent of taskbar? t [00:13] Here is the c/v of the error [00:13] ah see i wanna make it system [00:13] dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1685 package `module-init-tools': `Replaces' field, reference to `hotplug': version contains `)'E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [00:13] soldats, okay, redirected? [00:13] fungz0r: If you're new to Desktop Linux in general, you definitely want to check out the awesome selection of free apps you can download. (Applications -> Add/Remove...) [00:13] oo kk thanks [00:13] ShaunB, hmm ive never seen that error [00:14] Because of that, it seems I can't install anything. [00:14] what causes this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46195/ when trying to compile in a new module? [00:14] jayde_drag0n, icons tend to fall in: /usr/share/icons/ [00:14] fungz0r, compiz is pretty cool [00:14] Evanlec, if you keep getting dcc requests youll be redirected to #ubuntu-??? [00:14] jayde_drag0n, right-click the menu or application and select "Edit Menu" [00:14] whats compiz? [00:14] fungz0r: 3D desktop + effects [00:14] oo [00:14] how do i get it? [00:14] Grav3Mind: from what i see under appearance customize... in icons... the things i untarred into .themes seem to show up in there as well [00:14] soldats, right but why me? im connected via port 8001 which i thot prevented this issue [00:14] fungz0r: Compiz makes the computer look a lot glitzier. 3D effects and so on. [00:15] i am having some troubles with the forum, it seems whenever I post a long reply, and then click on "submit" firefox just hangs and does nothing...if I log out and log back in, and then try to reply again with the copied text from my previous post....it still hangs. I can post to any other thread with no problems, and this has occured twice now on 2 different threads...any ideas? [00:15] fungz0r: You need a graphics card and driver, first of all. [00:15] hi [00:15] ShaunB, try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a [00:15] haha yeah i got that :P [00:15] Evanlec, not sure its just lame kiddies trying to be funny [00:15] fungz0r: assuming you have a graphics card, go to the Restricted Drivers manager and enable a graphics driver. [00:15] astro76: i am still getting the router on ssh, i have port forwarded as you said [00:15] jayde_drag0n, once things are changed there, it will typically change what's showing for the taskbar icon [00:15] soldats, yea i know [00:15] they get random people [00:15] fungz0r: You could possibly use an Open Source one, but they are notoriously bad and under-powered compared to the restricted ones. [00:15] is there any illegal character combinations that I need be aware of or anything? [00:15] What's the comment for scanning all devices. I want to know where my hdd are. [00:16] Someone name a web-based torrent client? [00:16] jane_: error - dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) [00:16] gilnim: lspci [00:16] Micheru, also you need to connect to the external public IP, not 10.1.1.1 which is the internal IP, and you probably can't do it from behind your router [00:16] CaptainMorgan: i think i've done that... i went to edit menu... then went to the properties of each individual item and changed the picture... but while it shows up as the correct icon in the menu... it doesnt when its launched where it sits on the upper right of my screen [00:16] when i go to restricted drivers manager, says that my hardware does not need any drivers [00:16] hello, have an issue connecting to a windows share [00:16] PirateHead: thanks [00:16] gilnim: no problem. [00:16] i am able to mount the share with the correct username and password, but i am unable to open anything. I get an Input/output error [00:16] jayde_drag0n, you may need to restart your windowing system [00:16] astro76: why not, i am connecting to my external ip (using a dyndns url) [00:17] fungz0r: Assuming that it's telling the truth, the next thing depends on whether you are on Feisty or Gutsy. [00:17] jane_: first console said dpkg: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) [00:17] (or Dapper) [00:17] as in why wouldn't i be able to do that? [00:17] oops...sorry it said dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure [00:17] on using gutsy [00:17] ShaunB sems type --reconfigure 2 -- [00:18] alguem me chamo? [00:18] CaptainMorgan: well i believe a reboot will accomplish the same thing.. and i've done that since making the changes.. and it didn't change... or is that a specific command that a reboot doesn't fix? [00:18] ShaunB, typo [00:18] fungz0r: In that case, you can very easily enable Compiz by going to System -> Preferences -> Appearance [00:18] Micheru, only if your router supports nat relfection will that work [00:18] hello, question: [00:18] ctrl+alt+backspace reset the box, not only X [00:18] fungz0r: From that point, go to Visual Effects (the last tab), and enable one of the 3D Effects options. [00:18] astro76: apparantly not then i will try from another bot thanks for the help [00:18] jayde_drag0n, hmmm... I've made icon changes many times... [00:19] can somebody help me resolve that ? [00:19] jayde_drag0n, *successfully.. so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours [00:19] which effects should i do? [00:19] CaptainMorgan: i'll take a new screenshot with the menu showing so you can see what i see.. i might not be explaining right [00:19] can anyone explain how I get Sonata to work? It's all a little confusing for me? [00:19] fungz0r: I suggest the Extra effects, for the most wow-effect right out of the box. [00:19] jane_: Help doesn't show a reconfigure but a configure so I used that instead, and it gave me this output: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1685 package `module-init-tools': `Replaces' field, reference to `hotplug': version contains `)' [00:19] fungz0r: However, there is an advanced effects configurator that allows you to customize and totally soup up the effects engine.

[00:23] PirateHead: if it seems totally nonsensical, the best thing to do is disregard, eh :P [00:23] tacone, if you read that wiki article it should explain how to do it [00:23] mikebeecham: do you know if mpd is working?

I've asked this question a couple times here, so I apologize if I get repetitive. My wireless connection is less than 20mbps. It should be 54mbps. I have an Atheros card and was using the restricted driver for it. Someone here told me to try ndiswrapper and I did. Though, it did no good. If anyone else has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate it. [00:23] can you tell me why/.?

[00:24] mikebeecham: sonata is a frontend for mpd... I would recommend (unless you KNOW you want mpd) you look into banshee, rhythmbox, or listen as a music player [00:24] Are you using only G on the wifi to get 54mb [00:24] tamer_: go to system>>>>administration>>>>system monitor [00:24] tamer_: For RAM info, you can use the System Monitor (System -> Administration -> System Monitor) which will show you your total ram, vram, and ram usage.l [00:24] tnx alot my dera [00:24] if you use Wifi B mode it will downgrade to what is most stable [00:24] kelsin....are there any benefits of mpd / sonata over rhythmbox? [00:24] pipo: try lspci | grep -i wireless [00:25] ok tnx alot [00:25] UBUNTUISOLVED: Is that for me? [00:25] PirateHead: can you help me a little bit i am newbie in linux [00:25] Yup [00:25] go into your router and check if Wifi b mode is off [00:25] ZaNGaMaN: I can certainly try. Are you having any particular problem? [00:25] UBUNTUISOLVED: Let me check. and if I understood correctly, it should be G? [00:25] tacone, run this in a terminal instead of using the keys sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:25] mikebeecham, lower resource usage, thats about it [00:25] Yes wifi G mode is the faster of the too [00:25] two [00:25] mikebeecham: mpd is a daemon that runs in the background behind X, to play music... there are benefits and drawbacks. If you JUST need a iTunes like music player the other three are good. MPD just allows you to restart X without killing the music player (rarely useful unless you work in odd ways) or want to control the music playing from another computer [00:26] Is there a chance I could get help with a problem installing? [00:26] Evanlec: thanks [00:26] mikebeecham, i like rhythmbox, and if you're happy with it, you won't be happy with mpd/sonata [00:26] piratehead i cannot listen or play a movie ,and when i am trying to instal codec it gives me that eroor mesage that i post 2 minutes ago [00:26] also tigran what is your percent on network manager for strength of signal [00:26] kelsin: Evanlec...I have used rhythmbox and I do like it...I've just trying all of Linux's lovely stuff before settling down, I guess [00:26] ZaNGaMaN: I looked up and saw your error. How did you install Ubuntu? [00:27] UBUNTUISOLVED: It was G and B in my router, so I put G only now. Lets see if it makes a difference [00:27] riotkittie: i got this 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) so what is the name lol sorry for the dumb question [00:27] yea diid you reboot or save it in the router [00:27] I used Exaile for a while, but it kept crashing, so Rhythmbox works fine [00:27] UBUNTUISOLVED:Saved in the router, its at 41% now, but even if its in the 90's its the same thing [00:27] CaptainMorgan: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/jayde_dragon/Screenshot-2.png okay in the picture you see the main menu and you see pidgin and ktorrent... and they have pretty icons... now i have both of those running and in the upper right they have different icons there.... but they did sucessfully change when i open the menu and look thru [00:27] mikebeecham: Rhythmbox just keeps getting better. I wish they would use a slightly slicker UI, though. [00:27] piratehead i downloaded from th einternet latest veriosn [00:27] I've got a problem since updating my Feisty box to Gutsy today - it hangs during boot, spewing out tons of "Lost interrupt" messages about my PATA drives [00:27] and after that installed [00:28] were are you reading this info [00:28] where [00:28] * JJtech be right back.. [00:28] ZaNGaMaN: How are you trying to install the codecs? === JJtech is now known as Got [00:28] mikebeecham, if u find rhythmbox is laacking in some features, u might try banshee as it has more features (tho none i ever needed) [00:28] PirateHead: the audio codec seems to be a little crisper than itunes imo [00:28] p [00:28] i like amarok as a music player [00:28] UBUNTUISLOVED: The signal strenght? [00:28] mikebeecham, also amarok is really nice and has many features [00:28] on network manager? [00:28] Evanlec: never heard of banshee [00:28] pipo: Intel 3945ABG -- i'm not personally familiar with that chipset but afaik, intel is easy to get working [00:28] amarok looks slick, searches music fast, and works well with my ipod [00:28] UBUNTUISLOVED: Yes [00:28] soldats: I tried Amarok...it's too 'bubbly' [00:28] mikebeecham, its a similar one to itunes/rhytmbox [00:28] I dont like all the glossy buttons [00:29] mikebeecham, to each his own then [00:29] piratehead i try to play a song ,and it now working and the program is loking for codecs he found some codec i pres to instal but it not alowing me [00:29] what is your network card [00:29] oh ok no it works i just need the name for something else i was just really confused but thanks a lot [00:29] Evanlec: banshee is a music player built using Mono and C# by Novell. It's tied to the "Helix" community. It's a pretty nice player in general. [00:29] brand name and model [00:29] Booting the same system with a kernel I still have left over from Feisty works, so it's something different between the two kernel versions that is causing the "Lost interrupt" message.

[00:29] mikebeecham: if you def try banshee and listen, both are nice as well. If you really like the look of sonata google for "Mpd" and check out it's main site. That will explain alot, good luck [00:29] yes [00:30] UBUNTUISLOVED: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212/AR5213 [00:30] WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [00:30] oops [00:30] just wondering how u guys put up with this channel lol, i would go crazy trying to help everyone [00:30] one sec [00:30] sorry [00:30] ZaNGaMaN: However, perhaps you can get things working using VLC. [00:30] pipo, yea it goes by really fast [00:30] going to look at banshee...see what thats like [00:30] pipo, we do what we can though [00:30] ZaNGaMaN: To try that, go to Applications -> Add and Remove, then search for VLC. [00:30] pirate i wil instal kubuntu is more easy [00:30] I love this channel, so helpful and people don't flame :) [00:30] anybody have warcraft 3 installed? [00:30] ZaNGaMaN: That's a bit drastic, but if you're wanting to give Kubuntu a try, go for it! [00:31] fungz0r: I do [00:31] piratehead i belive that i instaled a version for amd 64 procesoors [00:31] ;) cudos to you guys then lol keep up the good work! [00:31] fungz0r: wine is not the easiest thing, be prepared to read and google a lot [00:31] mayby that why it does not work [00:31] ZaNGaMaN: Are you not on an AMD 64 processor? [00:31] i am on amd am2 64 bits [00:31] fungz0r, vmware may also work for you [00:32] Can anyone point me in the right direction here? System monitor says that there 17.4G total space on my /home dir. The only subdir there is my home directory that says 95 files totaling 4.4GB. Says there is 696Mb free. Any idea where the rest is? [00:32] well my friends want to get wc3, and then i want to dl a program so i can play online [00:32] ZaNGaMaN: Ah, that explains some things. Restricted codecs are often broken on 64-bit machines. [00:32] Hi - I'm having some problems with OOo - Writer takes up the whole screen, covering my panels, etc. Does anyone know how that setting can be changed?

[00:32] no linux [00:33] How do I run a check on that partition? [00:33] ZaNGaMaN: you could try enabling Medibuntu if that helps [00:33] i liked kubuntu i sow on internet somthing [00:33] ZaNGaMaN: Ubuntu is great for Newbies. Mandriva also comes highly recommended. [00:33] i locked a package version down in synaptic but the update manager still wants to update it!!! is this a bug? [00:33] wich is the difference betwin kubuntu and ubuntu? [00:33] !medibuntu | ZaNGaMaN [00:33] ZaNGaMaN: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:33] which channel for talk about ububntu as a trademark*? I'm buying a domian for the LoCo tema so I thought it would be an idea to check it [00:34] has anybody tried using a program to play LAN over the internet? [00:34] ZaNGaMaN: Kubuntu uses a desktop environment called KDE, which is geared more for computer power-users and hackers. [00:34] Can someone tell me what program or what alternate program I need to convert dvd ifo files to...anything? swf, avi, mpeg, anything? (it's a commercial we shot at work and it needs to go on the website) [00:34] fungz0r: Hamachi, but on Windows, on Ubuntu it seems to be fubared [00:34] banshee...looks great...but I've had to import my music from rhythmbox, as I could not specifically choose my shared media drive as a source Evanlec [00:34] ZaNGaMaN: Gnome, which Ubuntu uses, is widely considered more newbie-friendly since it has fewer options and configuration steps to go through. [00:34] sotec_prod: I know more about that stuff on Windows :P I prob would check out Afterdawn and 9doom for stuff like that [00:34] ZaNGaMaN: However, if you love to tweak your computer, KDE gives you plenty of opportunities. [00:35] sotec_prod: immediate thought would be oh VLC transcode? im not too wise on this stuff [00:35] Am experimenting with editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. How do I restart X? [00:35] piratehead so you recomand i get ubuntu for normal 32 bits? [00:35] i locked a package version down in synaptic but the update manager still wants to update it!!! is this a bug? [00:35] mw-home: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [00:35] is there another program that can be used instead of hamachi? [00:35] one that works on ubuntu? [00:35] I need to clear the MBR on a sata drive, how can I do this without a windows xp cd? [00:35] ok i have three partitions, a windows, linux, and storage partition (and linux swap but i don't count that because i don't actually see it)... so my bootloader was on my storage partition, and i used grub to dual boot vista and gutsy.... now i reinstalled XP, formatting the vista partition, but when i boot it skips grub and goes right to XP... how do i re-enable grub? [00:35] argh. [00:35] UBUNTUISOLVED: I think my wifi went out for a sec. Not sure if you said anything. [00:35] ZaNGaMaN: If you're using a 64 bit processor, then using it to run a 32 bit operating system means you're giving up some of your potential. [00:35] i need this by Monday. [00:36] mikebeecham, well, i'd stick with rhythmbox then, it does everything i need... [00:36] I did some settings to edit my mouse, now when I try to start x it gets a bit messy. XGL won't load, can I somehow check in xorg.conf where it starts? [00:36] thanks for the advice. control-alt-backspace logged me out also. [00:36] Gotta go guys. [00:36] PirateHead: but the 64 bits sistem is not working i barely instalet chatzila nothing works [00:36] Can anyone point me in the right direction here? System monitor says that there 17.4G total space on my /home dir. The only subdir there is my home directory that says 95 files totaling 4.4GB. Says there is 696Mb free. Any idea where the rest is? [00:36] hey, if im trying another desktop manager, lets say im switching from gnome on gutsy to kde enviorment.. if i remove gnome packages, will they remain in the same settings if im installing them back? [00:36] xcaht not alowed [00:36] is there an easy way to mount an ipod as a hard drive, and not a music player [00:36] well I've give it a go first Evanlec [00:36] rmc arhives don`t work [00:36] mw-home, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:36] I like a lot of it's features already [00:36] for some reason samba wont share folders on my ipod [00:36] audiocodec don`t work [00:36] ZaNGaMaN, that is unlikely to be a 64bit issue [00:37] graelin: in dotfiles and hidden directories [00:37] ZaNGaMaN, xchat and almost any other app will work on 64bit Gutsy [00:37] graelin, use df and du [00:37] wabiD, mojopac for Windows allows you to boot a windows system from your ipod. Don't know about linux though [00:37] tel me at instalation [00:37] i just want to be able to share my ipod file to my xbox [00:37] UBUNTUISOLVED: I cant send private messages. Can you tell me how to register the nickname? [00:37] i use main partiition as ext2 [00:37] or as ext 3 [00:37] ZaNGaMaN, ext3 [00:37] !register | tigran [00:37] tigran: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [00:37] one sec [00:37] Does anyone know of video conversion software for linux? [00:38] i had ext2 now cand this be a problem? [00:38] can sum1 help me with my physical science homework? [00:38] dvd to swf. I' [00:38] lol [00:38] I've scoured the web and can't find anything [00:38] sotec_prod: ffmpeg [00:38] ZaNGaMaN, no...and u can convert it to ext3 [00:38] thanks pricechild [00:38] sotec_prod: but not sure how well it does DVD IFOs [00:38] thanks scguy318, I'll try that [00:38] ZaNGaMaN, ext3 just offers better stability if ur system crashes [00:38] sotec_prod: i really would strongly suggest peeking at Afterdawn or those video sites [00:38] Evanlec: along with faster mount and fsck :) [00:38] so where is the problem..... then.... cose it not alowing me anithing [00:38] Afterdawn? [00:38] !register | jb0nd38372 [00:38] alright [00:38] sotec_prod: doom9 also perhaps [00:39] scguy318, yea that too i spose [00:39] scguy318, but slower performance overall [00:39] is FeCl3 called Iron Triclorine, Iron Tricloride or neither? [00:39] is there some command-line way to discover what the current resolution is? === tigran is now known as TigranG [00:39] i know this might be a silly question. but is there any First Person Shooter games for ubuntu? NOT windows based... just FPS games from linux ( multiplayer)..???? [00:39] whabo: yes [00:40] whabo, ya [00:40] whabo, http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?src=rss&id=1907 [00:40] whabo: lots [00:40] hello [00:40] slvmchn what games are they??? [00:40] whabo: True Combat: Elite, Tremulous, and Savage: Battle for Newerth are among the best in my opinion [00:40] I'm starting an ubuntu cd on an old computer [00:40] how do I keep it from taking years to start? [00:40] Micheru, ive never actually seen or played them [00:40] NICE THX .. thank you alllll [00:40] it's been loading for 15 min [00:40] ill try them :P [00:40] True: Combat Elite is a mod for Wolfenstein: Enemy territory, but ET is like WW2: quake edition, too fast-paced [00:40] X server is up [00:40] Micheru, r they good like halo or half-life 2? [00:40] but the mod is amazing, it's like counterstrike but 10x better [00:40] deniz_: same, my computer doesn't have the power [00:40] see brown background and cursor [00:40] it's busy loading off cd [00:41] much more balanced and realistcally paced [00:41] TD-Linux, there probably is no way...liveCD will always take much longer to load up then a hard drive install [00:41] I know [00:41] TD-Linux, and on an old computer that effect will be magnified [00:41] on other computers it takes ~10 min [00:41] get Warsow! [00:41] ok i have three partitions, a windows, linux, and storage partition (and linux swap but i don't count that because i don't actually see it)... so my bootloader was on my storage partition, and i used grub to dual boot vista and gutsy.... now i reinstalled XP, formatting the vista partition, but when i boot it skips grub and goes right to XP... how do i re-enable grub? [00:41] this one [00:41] is rediculous [00:41] TD-Linux: use alternate CD if LiveCD sucks [00:41] the purpose of the livecd is to dd the hard disk [00:42] Micheru, well mine is not that weak, but this summer im collecting to buy a quad core with 8800 gt gfx which is rely good :D and im 15 ;) [00:42] TD-Linux: dont use the LiveCD, use safe graphics or a different distro like Linux System Rescue CD [00:42] TD-Linux: or the alternate [00:42] okay [00:42] deniz_: hehe i have an onlt pos dell and no job hehe [00:42] anybody use lancraft or battlelan? or know if it works in buntu? [00:42] If I don't have XGL at /usr/bin, then there is something wrong right? [00:42] *old [00:42] the other thing [00:42] is there a way to force ubuntu to use dma when loading off the livecd? [00:42] I have a feeling that might be the problem [00:43] TD-Linux: it should do that automatically I believe, as kernel option dunno [00:43] Micheru, i have no job yet, im hoping to work for a month and buy a comp [00:43] TD-Linux: it might be something...Compiz related, dunno [00:43] slvmchn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 that should solve your problem [00:43] deniz_: then how did you get the card? [00:43] TD-Linux: screw that use Linux System Rescue CD [00:43] present ? [00:43] Micheru, im going to get them this summer [00:43] ah [00:43] how can i switch the current login screen? [00:43] kakoonia: change appearance? [00:44] Micheru, its my goal [00:44] deniz_: i just graduated, applied in a million places and no reply :( [00:44] Micheru, currently i have a p4 3 ghz with ht and 1 gb ram with ati radeon x600 pro [00:44] kakoonia: >system >administration >login window... I beileve it's the second tab [00:44] guys how do i enable the default theme manager? i dont wanna use emerald [00:44] Micheru, im in grade 10 [00:45] Grav3Mind: just remove the emerald --replace thing if you did that [00:45] Grav3Mind: how exactly did you enable Emerald anyway? [00:45] ArthurArchnix : hehe.. i was just there... looked for it 2 times.. and couldnt find it :) now i did! [00:45] w00t [00:45] ArthurArchnix : thanks. [00:45] p4 1.6 ghz 384MB SDRAM 32MB ATI RAGE 128 PRO, as i said just completed hs [00:45] kakoonia: np [00:45] looks like it spent the last 5 minutes loading the desktop picture [00:45] Micheru, is there any chance that u did chemistry or physical science? [00:45] Can anyone help with an OpenOffice problem? [00:46] deniz_: none [00:46] ask! | jdfoote2 [00:46] oops [00:46] !ask | jdfoote2 [00:46] jdfoote2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:46] OpenOffice is taking up my whole screen, covering the panels, etc. [00:47] jdfoote2: Sounds like it's in full screen mode. [00:47] And the menu is unresponsive [00:47] Micheru, i kinda have to do my homework and i came on the ubuntu channel looking for help lol, i thot i would find some but ill google insted [00:47] Do you know where that setting is? [00:47] howto mount a *.iso [00:47] lol [00:47] gilnim: use fuseiso or do mount -o loop isofile /mnt/point [00:47] jdfoote2: Try hitting Ctrl+Shift+J [00:47] anyone know about apache configuration? ie how do I add to it? [00:47] deniz_: haha, hmm maybe we should take this convbo to pm, (i am unfiltered so you can pm, me) [00:48] i think this is a synaptic bug - wants to update locked packages [00:48] Arthur: No go - that puts it into fullscreen mode [00:48] what are some good keyboard or mouse shortcuts? [00:49] jdfoote2: You'll have to describe your problem then. I thought you were stuck in full-screen mode, but it sounds like going full screen then undoing has no effect on your problem. So what exactly is the problem? [00:49] how do I edit my apache configuration? [00:51] how i unrar an rpm archive i instaled rpm too [00:51] ssh password storage on either putty or poderosa? anyone wanna take a stab or refer a program? [00:51] *ahem* [00:51] somebody kb me [00:51] somebody kb me [00:51] somebody kb me [00:51] somebody kb me [00:51] !rpm [00:51] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [00:51] Arthur: That makes the icon menu disappear - when out of full screen mode the icons are there, but the program takes up the whole screen, and doesn't show the top bar, and covers my panel at the bottom [00:52] hey what is the command to change my name in here? [00:52] \name maybe [00:52] Clicking a menu button (File, edit, etc.) brings up the menu for a moment, then the menu disappears [00:52] Arthur: In addition, right-clicking in the program does the same thing - bringing up a menu, which quickly disappears [00:52] nick? [00:52] jdfoote2: Oh... I think I understand. When you hit maximize it takes up the whole screen and your panels don't act like the edge of the screen then? [00:52] use /nick ............ [00:53] I've heard that it's related to Compiz [00:53] tyler_3: i got to go now, but you need to generate a private/public key pair. putty has a tool with good instructions. === jayde_drag0n is now known as jayde_drag0n_im_ [00:53] Arthur - it's maximized from the start, and that's right - the panels don't act like the edge of the screen [00:53] grr [00:53] thats not the answer [00:53] !patience [00:53] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines === jayde_drag0n_im_ is now known as jayde_drag0n_gir [00:53] ugh [00:53] !attitude [00:53] i guess theres a character limit [00:54] mine is 12.. how long do you want it.

[00:55] hahah ubotu doesn't know frustration... thats nice [00:55] hello. Does WIndows boot in a Logic partition? [00:55] Ok... well, that's quirky behaviour which I presume lasts even after restarting openoffice and rebooting the computer? I'll take a quick look into this.. in the meanwhile, have you tried enabled hardware acceleration in >tools >options >view ? It may help openoffice "play nicer" with compiz. [00:55] Hi guys! Installed, updated gutsy on toshiba satellite laptop and mplayer plays nicely the movies except that i do not have sound! any help? Thanks [00:55] does ubotu know what love is [00:55] !love [00:55] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [00:55] Arthur: Is that in OO or Compiz? [00:55] southafrikanse: windows prefers primary partition.. but #windows people will know other options [00:55] LMAO [00:55] how do i get specific details about my wifi card? like the model, etc? === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [00:55] your mean almost [00:56] apparantly uboto had a bad relationship [00:56] lspci or lsusb [00:56] hi,ever1 [00:56] K_Dallas, do you have the codecs for audio [00:56] Jack_Sparrow: The problem is I am unable to boot Windows in grub menu [00:56] !msgthebot > jaydedrag0n_girl [00:56] Jack_Sparrow, just say "belkin components" [00:56] !msgthebot [00:56] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot).

[00:58] jdfoote2: Openoffice... though if you're running compiz I think the eventual solution will be found in there. But for an easy try at fixing it you can try and play with those view settings in openoffice, tools, options [00:58] im having issues with my AWN dock, i still cant sort it out, can any1 help [00:58] !ubotu [00:58] southafrikanse: I dual bot without a problem...

[01:07] #kubuntu [01:07] ToddEDM: how did you install the printer? [01:07] The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file? [01:07] The search will also include software which is not officially supported. [01:08] pipo: non-root users aren't allowed to get that type of info from the network card, so in this situation that program shouldn't be able to be run as a normal user [01:08] why is that stupid noise on by default? [01:08] user1, because it informs the user of something [01:08] thank you chanserv, sorry chanserv [01:08] hey [01:08] user1, its a feature. [01:08] any ideas? [01:08] Micheru: well i wouldnt say "i" installed it , but it came up in the list of printers to use , in a drop box [01:08] i was wondering if somebody could help me on getting halo to work on linux [01:08] sometimes ubotu gets mad whe you ask the same question more than once [01:08] PriceChild: that user it not deaf and is irritated by high pitch sounds? [01:08] i've done literally everything i could find to do to try to get mp3s to play with amarok, but for some reason it won't work [01:08] pipo: yes, run it with "sudo kismet" in a terminal [01:08] user1, then turn it off. EOD. [01:09] would anyone know why? [01:09] im reading a website on it but i dont understand on how to do it [01:09] be patient and if anyone knows how to solve your problem they will try to help [01:09] ok then it should just work :/ it did for me. did you choose the correct driver? (stupid question i suppose) [01:09] !info xournal | ArthurArchnix [01:09] Jack_Sparrow: yes. Windows was installed first. There isn't any other Windows partitions [01:09] arthurarchnix: xournal: GTK+ Application for note taking. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 273 kB, installed size 844 kB [01:09] how to use sounds? [01:09] kelsin: When I run that command from terminal I get good results and it binds to 192.168.0.42, but still no internet access or ability to ping local IP's. [01:09] ToddEDM: did you run CUPS and configure the printer? Cups is reached via a browser...localhost:631 [01:09] dvd player shows video, but silence [01:09] Hanyou: run ifconfig and make sure the ip / netmask and other settings look ok [01:10] oh ok so thats what sudo is about thanks [01:10] thor, when i selected the printer, it said it was using CUPS [01:10] ToddEDM: you should be able to find the same printer in cups on both computers...your desktop and laptop ...it should show as a network printer on the laptop and a local printer on the desktop [01:10] user1, you need the codecs use synaptic and search for all codecs and install them [01:10] ill be back in a bit [01:10] !restricted > user1 (user1, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:10] so cups is the driver? [01:10] Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 and VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller [01:10] southafrikanse: windows was installed first and installed itself on sda6 ? [01:10] how to have alsa using the creative [01:10] hmm. can anyone suggest me what ubuntu version i should stick with. i have tried gutsy , feisty , on my desktop and they install by using safe graphics mode. However when i try to use edgy eft i can not boot into install. The system crashes and i hear a beep and screen goes black. (if any1 could shed some light on boot options to use with f6). The reason i am doing this is because my ati AGP card is not supported in fesity and gutsy. [01:10] !cups [01:10] 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 [01:11] ToddEDM: it is in cups on the laptop that you will set up the network printer [01:11] so does anyone know who to install halo on linux through wine? [01:11] kelsin: Stupid question "What is bcast in Linux's ifconfig?" [01:11] !hate [01:11] hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy [01:11] lol i like ubotu [01:11] thor: ok , i havent did that , that might be the prob [01:11] !appdb | virtuososteve [01:11] virtuososteve: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [01:11] LjL: Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. [01:11] Hanyou: broadcast, it should normally be 192.168.0.255 on a 255.255.255.0 netmask [01:11] read this: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_PC_(Linux) === khaladan- is now known as khaladan [01:12] wow first 5 minutes in ubuntu and it already crashed! awesome job ubuntu team [01:12] or better yet, the AppDb [01:12] user1: what's the problem? [01:12] lol [01:12] your doing it wrong [01:12] user1 [01:12] user1: the ubuntu team is in your house crashing your comps? [01:12] kelsin: Then everything looks fine IP of 192.168.0.42 bcast of 192.168.0.255 and standard netmask. [01:12] vlc crashes on each attempt to open dvd [01:12] user1, do you want support, or are you trying to troll? i'm starting to think the latter. [01:12] :P ur lucky to get it installed [01:12] thor just add it from add/remove programs? [01:12] !dvd > user1 (user1, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: I had Mandriva installed as well. But I then installed Ubuntu over it. Maybe that's why Windows is sda6 [01:12] is there a way to turn ssh on from recovery console, or a way to get network working from recovery mode? [01:12] user1: if you run VLC from the terminal, can you pastebin the error messages at the terminal prompt? [01:12] user1: or perhaps an excerpt of the messages that VLC produces [01:12] cups...yeah..I guess so. To be honest I don't recall if I added it or if it was there by default [01:13] libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. [01:13] * user1 slaps riaa [01:13] then read the bot factoid [01:13] PsyDeViL: those are just different versions of ubuntu... gutsy is the lastest install of the product.. edgy is a couple years old if i am correct [01:13] ToddEDM: open your browser on the desktop and for the url type 'localhost:631' [01:13] see if it works [01:13] PsyDeViL: why isnt your card supported in gutsy? [01:13] user1: VLC does not have some codecs for protected DVD's sometimes. Try a different DVD player. [01:13] or even boot from grub loader with out the GUI to boot up because something is screwed up i just need networking and a console [01:13] user1: you need to enable the Medibuntu repo [01:13] LjL: still, it is not very pro to just crash instead any msg box is it [01:13] no vlc works you just have to get the right codecs [01:13] southafrikanse: http://pastebin.com/m4649723a is where I would start or try super grub repair cd [01:13] user1: and install libdvdcss2, that cannot be distributed legally in some jurisdictions [01:13] but whenever grub loads stuff just stop displaying [01:13] !medibuntu | user1 [01:13] user1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:13] i had the same problem w/ vlc [01:14] user1, also try gxine [01:14] Hanyou: so pings to other local addresses that are local do not work? [01:14] ok cool thor [01:14] virtuososteve: libdvdcss2 :) [01:14] ToddEDM: once you have the desktop configured...do the same in the laptop, but configure a network printer [01:14] yeah thats what i got and it worked [01:14] user1, that's VLC, it's not developed by the ubuntu developers, it's in universe (community supported packages), and it's done for free, so feel free to ask question, but there's no need to be sarcastic [01:14] !dvd [01:14] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:14] scguy318: it is fine besides proud US of A and afair Franch? [01:14] so could someone please help me w/ halo on linux? [01:14] user1: ? [01:15] !appdb | virtuososteve [01:15] virtuososteve: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [01:15] !appdb > virtuososteve [01:15] user1, not really, the EUCD, which is a copy of the DMCA basically, applies in many countries in Europe. [01:15] virtuososteve: im too lazy to find the page [01:15] scguy318: wonder is it ok here [01:15] i have it [01:15] Jack_Sparrow: I've already tried that. It said: "Error 21: No such operation on device" or something like that [01:15] http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_PC_(Linux) [01:15] thor: im on my laptop, and i selected PRINTERS , and the printer from the desktop is there [01:15] virtuososteve: If you mean how to get it working under wine... try #winehq [01:15] LjL: EUCD is a directive and not a law [01:15] kelsin: It now pings to 192.168.0.1-254, but not to my net at the other end of a point to point T1 that has the local IP range of 192.168.1.1-254. It needs to ping to that to get out to the net. [01:15] i have wine [01:15] user1: possibly, ask a lawyer, but I'm sure it'll be fine, I doubt the MAFIAA will be kicking in doors to find copies of libdvdcss2 [01:15] hello people - can anyone help me with a mount point problem [01:16] ToddEDM: so....do we need to be MORE successful [01:16] clay3482: you need to tell us the promlem [01:16] virtuososteve: did you check appdb? [01:16] i just need to know how to do this: The installer will not run without mfc42.dll, so download the file from [1] and extract the file to your /home//.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 directory [01:16] magnetron: as a directive, countries must implement it as a law. some might not have done so yet, and others may have interpreted it more liberally, but the fact remains that it applies in a few of them. [01:16] !ask | clay3482 [01:16] clay3482: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:16] what is "appdb?" [01:16] so UE now also is that stupid america corportations bit^H hostage :( ? [01:16] kelsin: I have my laptop running the same config and it is not having any problems so I doubt it's just Linux unfriendly hardware. [01:16] virtuososteve: the web page that I and some other peoplez linked you to [01:16] virtuososteve: visit the winehq website [01:16] hmm anyway... lets see if it works [01:16] I'm trying to burn a bootable cd. k3b seems to lack the ability to do this. and I don't see an option in gnome baker. can someone make a recommendation? [01:16] Hanyou: your laptop is also on the 192.168.0 network and can ping the 192.168.1? [01:16] thor: i want to delete all Jobs, it is asking for a password.. i dont think i made a pass for it [01:16] Hanyou: check the output of route -n on your laptop and desktop and compare [01:16] southafrikanse: You might try !diskmounter and mount your windows partitions and make sure windows files are still there. [01:17] thor: nm [01:17] look i have wine updated and everything i just need to know how to put this certian file in the wine folder [01:17] user1, this is not a politics channel, i'm simply telling you even if you don't live in the US, there may still be laws against using some DVD decryption... you should check from more reliable sources if you're concerned about it. [01:17] kelsin: Yes, just double checked. [01:17] i spoke too soon [01:17] virtuososteve: use Nautilus or whatever you do when you want to copy files [01:17] virtuososteve: if you want to know what appdb is, visit winehq [01:17] ToddEDM: log into the desktop. You view the jobs in a terminal with 'lpq' and cancel them with the 'cancel' command [01:17] can you give me the link again please? [01:17] jpastore: k3b will do it.. do you have an iso you are working with [01:17] !appdb > virtuososteve (see the PM) [01:17] guys! I installed the restricted-extra and still no sound! [01:17] thor i canceled them with cups , in the browser [01:17] ToddEDM: I assume you have sshd running on one or both computers? [01:17] virtuososteve, what is the problem that you are having? [01:18] thor: im not sure what sshd is [01:18] jpastore: if so.. right click the iso and select write to disk [01:18] ToddEDM: sshd = SSH server [01:18] my problem is I changed the mount point on a external USB HD - I thought I could make it open up to specific directory - anyway now when I try and mount it the system displays moint_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) so apparently i didnt set it right. how do i reset it back to default? [01:18] Hanyou: and this is probably a stupid question, but the netmask and broadcast are the same on desktop and laptop? [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, yes. I can't find the option and I found an article stating that it lacked the unfunctionality [01:18] how do i check? [01:18] K_Dallas__: does « sudo cat /dev/dsp » give you sound? (warning, might be loud) [01:18] kelsin: My laptop was having similar problems earlier today, but it resolved itself mysteriously. [01:18] ToddEDM: it is the ssh server...you should install it on the desktop, then you can log into the desktop from the laptop without having to go in the other room [01:18] kelsin: I will check. [01:18] for a newbie wich is better mandriva or kubuntu? [01:18] i have to put mfc42.dll in /home//.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 [01:19] UBUNTU [01:19] jpastore: Please link the article.. [01:19] virtuososteve: the problem being? [01:19] ZaNGaMaN: try both and use what you like [01:19] so, whats the problem? why dont you just do it? [01:19] ZaNGaMaN: either [01:19] ToddEDM: after you install and learn ssh and sshd...look at the -X option for ssh...you can run linux apps on the desktop in a window on the laptop [01:19] clay3482, you most likely need to edit your fstab file [01:19] ZaNgaMan - UBUNTU 7.10 no doubt [01:19] LjL: the implementation differs greatly between countries. as an example, the Swedish implementation allows you to circumvent copy protection if it's necessary for legal access to your media. (watching your dvds with libdvdcss2 etc) [01:19] how to get to it and getting the privileges [01:19] kelsin: They are the same. [01:19] LjL, it says device is busy [01:19] LjL: xournal loads the pdf as a background image, making reading difficult. Any other suggestions? An adobe acrobat like product perhaps? [01:19] soldats - where is teh fastab file [01:19] becoming root [01:19] !root [01:19] 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 [01:19] clay3482, you changed it through the properties? when you edit it there, it should not be the full path, but just the directory under /media to use [01:19] virtuososteve: the Wine folder is owned by you... [01:19] Hanyou: honestly this goes beyond my understanding then :-( good luck with it [01:19] virtuososteve: ok, i can help, but you need to be specific with your questions [01:19] virtuososteve: it's in your home, you don't need to be root [01:19] virtuososteve: Ctrl + H in Nautilus to see [01:19] magnetron, i don't think i've said *all* EU countries make it illegal. [01:19] thor: im not getting what your saying... it is a linux box too, my desktop [01:19] Jack_Sparrow: I'd never seen that root thing before. That's hilarious [01:19] clay3482, sudo gedit fstab [01:19] how to tell alsa to use my creative card (i have 2 cards) [01:20] :) [01:20] soldats: gksudo gedit [01:20] ArthurArchnix, perhaps acrobat itself? [01:20] astro76 - I know that now - thanks [01:20] ubuntu [01:20] Jack_Sparrow, I just closed it...let me look...I think it was older version...he was referencing...but google didn't turn up much else. you stated that it will do it...can you point me to where the option was? [01:20] ToddEDM: right...but you can run everything from both computers on the laptop screen (or the desktop screen if you prefer) [01:20] kelsin: Don't worry I bashed my head with my laptop for 2 hours today for it to mysteriously start working tonight. [01:20] scguy318, huh [01:20] virtuososteve, why would you need root, since the folder is in your own user's home? [01:20] clay3482, to fix it you will have to find and delete the entry using gconf-editor [01:20] soldats: when running GUI apps, use gksudo [01:20] scguy318, i know i was trying to help clay3482 [01:20] ToddEDM: install sshd on the desktop...it will only take a minute [01:20] Hanyou: have you tried the dig command? [01:20] soldats: not sudo [01:20] ok i get it [01:20] no root [01:20] jpastore: what kind of file is it you are starting with? [01:20] you know what you could do for halo with linux, buy a freaking xbox for 50 bucks, there you go, geez people are we serious about this? [01:20] here's my question [01:20] LjL: Under wine, of course... I mean I can just take notes. I'm not about to drop a few hundo's for the privelege of making a few notes. I'll keep my eyes out though for something... [01:21] pikeshouse88: we dont want to sponsor MS, duh [01:21] LjL, when i installed and the livecd was loaded, there was sound! now that it is fully installed, no sound [01:21] pikeshouse88: though I guess the copy of Halo does that in a way :P [01:21] dont be ridiculous [01:21] scguy318, gedit runs as gui anyways [01:21] Jack_Sparrow, article: http://alternativenayk.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/the-value-of-k3b-cddvd-burning-software/ [01:21] pikeshouse88: some of us like our PCs [01:21] soldats: when running a GUI app as root, prefix with gksudo [01:21] danbhfive: Didn't know there was one. I'm pretty new to Linux as a whole since the late 90's. [01:21] soldats: not sudo [01:21] ToddEDM: you might also need xinet...not sure if it is installed or not [01:21] virtuososteve: Questions about getting your windows programs to run under wine are better asked in #winehq [01:21] Has any one here ever tried to run something called OpenRPG? [01:21] ArthurArchnix, uh, no, not under WINE. there is a Linux version of Acrobat Reader, and there used to be an official Ubuntu package too. now there's no official package anymore, but i think it's still in some repository [01:21] whats the command to install sshd [01:21] virtuososteve: honestly wine is going to take work to make work right. If you don't fully understand copying files around your home directory yet you might want to wait a bit and learn some about linux before trying to get wine working === monkey_ is now known as monTree [01:21] ToddEDM: install it from synaptic [01:21] the microsoft gaming division is fine to support [01:21] is it possible to share an ntfs drive from ubuntu? [01:21] ToddEDM: and make sure xinet is installed also [01:21] i need to get mfc42 into the wine folder, and ive looked for it but cant find it, i have wine but cant find the file [01:21] Jack_Sparrow, it's a windows xp volume license iso I created from the original...which is in the safe at the office and I've burned a ton of cd's from.

I only did a ls but looked fine... [01:22] virtuososteve: in Nautilus? [01:22] virtuososteve: should show hidden files in your home [01:22] wats is nautilus?

[01:22] Jack_Sparrow: I have sda6 mounted. I can access my windows files perfectly [01:22] funny... [01:23] ToddEDM: it is called xinetd in synaptic === MEIA_FASE is now known as xALEXANDRE [01:23] LJL: wow your funny [01:23] Jack_Sparrow, I did that and it's not working. to be fair I didn't try to browse the cd after burning === petethornbury_ is now known as petethornbury [01:23] I'm getting this error along with one other 'socket.gaierror: (-5, 'No address associated with hostname') [01:23] ' [01:23] what is the command to tell what ubuntu i'm running [01:24] amicrawler: lsb_release -a [01:24] danbhfive: It stops at the other end of my T1 line on my firewall at 192.168.1.254.

[01:24] amicrawler, uuname [01:24] virtuososteve, so are you. i think you're not listening to what people actually suggest to you, and rather assuming you know better. perhaps you don't, if you don't even know what nautilus is. open Nautilus in your home directory, hit Ctrl+H, and see if a ".wine" folder appears. [01:24] jpastore: that option works fine.. best to select a slower burning speed than normal [01:24] ToddEDM: and opensshd [01:24] i did it thank you [01:24] LjL: keep an eye on FloodBot<1,2,3> [01:24] magnetron, duh, look at the hostmasks [01:24] ok thanx [01:24] ToddEDM: nope...openssh-server [01:24] LjL: "thanks man your a great help" [01:24] danbhfive: the last valid thing it hits is my Cisco Gateway on this range at 192.168.0.1 [01:24] runing feisty [01:25] cool [01:25] ok got em both instsalled [01:25] Jack_Sparrow, maybe that's it...trying to mount now...it seems to mount fine [01:25] hey thor, should i be doing this on the desktop too ? [01:25] LjL, any hope that i get my sound back? [01:25] Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to install into a virtual box...and I'm getting invalid bootable media [01:25] ok...let's see if it is working. On the laptop open a terminal and type 'ssh desktopip' [01:26] hanyou: interesting, so you can't ping outside of that [01:26] Jack_Sparrow, I'm wondering if there's a problem with the file because I couldn't mount the iso from virtual box [01:26] jpastore: ok.. I dont do anything vm,wine etc... someone may be able to help [01:26] todd@todd-laptop:~$ ssh desktopip [01:26] ssh: desktopip: Name or service not known [01:26] todd@todd-laptop:~$ [01:26] ToddEDM: it will ask if you want to accept the key...say yes...it will only ask the first time [01:26] K_Dallas, i'm not very experienced with sound and ALSA to be honest. besides telling you the obvious - i.e. to make sure everything relevant is enabled and set to a medium volume in the system mixer - i'm not sure what to tell you [01:26] jpastore: possibley... you are trying to burn or copy a mounted iso? [01:26] ToddEDM: well, substitute the IP address for desktopip [01:26] Nope I get to 192.168.0.1 and connection stops, just on the desktop though. Not the laptop or the 50 windows boxes sitting in the office. [01:26] ToddEDM:no..you need the ip address of the desktop....192.168.0.3 or whatever [01:26] hey thor, gimme a sec, i gotta take a piss [01:26] ok [01:26] Jack_Sparrow, well interestingly enough i used a cd burned from this image to install into a vm under virtual box before...I just really trashed it...and deleted it ...so I'm starting over [01:27] hey whats the best linux internet browser? [01:27] firefox? [01:27] jpastore: ok.. good luck.. [01:27] Jack_Sparrow, nah...it's on my desktop I copied it from my external last time my laptop was on and I just turned it on...it's not mounted anywhere [01:27] !best [01:27] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[01:27] LjL: just because someone is new and knows their way around their file structure.. does not automatically infer that they know everything about their system.. it does not make them dumb or stupid just new... i know a few commands my way around my file structure.. pretty good with compiz... but do i know what nautilus is? no not really i'm sure i could read up on it... but that doesn't make me stupid just new [01:27] fungz0r: depends on your needs [01:27] !best getting some [01:27] how do i setup default gw for nas0 interface that wasnt created yet?

[01:28] jaydedrag0n_girl, it surely doesn't make you stupid. but saying annoyed-sounding things like "i know my way round ubuntu, k?" to people who're trying to help sounds arrogant. not stupid, just arrogant. [01:28] fungz0r: all 1152 of us?

[01:31] jpastore: The discussion at the end of the article says k3b does burn bootable cd's... [01:31] ok so i need to find the IP of my desktop.. that would be 192.168.1.*** yes? [01:31] #windows [01:31] ToddEDM: right [01:31] cool [01:31] net [01:31] ToddEDM: I am trusting you got the right numbers...but that's the general idea [01:31] LjL, i mean how do i group all 10 firefox things into one thing? [01:32] in the panel [01:32] Is there any way to see *all* files on a computer that have changed in the last x number of days? [01:32] well danbhfive, i know that one, but is there a way so that whenver i just click on it, its already highlighted? [01:32] i need a better word than thing [01:32] Jack_Sparrow, that's annoying I read that it doesn't and stopped there...why contradict yourself...that's just bad writing [01:32] ToddEDM: the prompt should change to reflect that you are now at a prompt on the desktop === PeteThornbury is now known as PeteOnline [01:32] jimjam: you can use 'find' [01:32] refused connectinon [01:32] Jack_Sparrow, or was that in a comment from a user?

[01:33] ToddEDM: right [01:33] jpastore: I also never said k3b wouldnt, just that there was an easier way to burn bootable iso's [01:33] Jack_Sparrow, ahhh...well let me give it another go maybe I'll try burning directly from my external...maybe the copy was bad === reconnect is now known as recon [01:33] fungz0r: goto about:config and type in urlbar [01:33] i tried reinstalling but to no avail...acting so weird, it´s making me mad >.< [01:34] jrib: Thanks [01:34] Invert314, i think that happens automatically when it gets too crowded, at least that's what it does in KDE. don't know how to force it to always make it happen [01:34] brb going to try and reboot and see if the installer starts...maybe virtual box is f'd [01:34] jimjam: -mtime is the switch you want probably [01:34] ty LjL [01:34] anyone know what´s going on? i can play one song, i try to switch to the next and it crashes... [01:34] Anyone know of a website with a really good description of static routing on a standard ipv4 network? I know this isn't exactly the best place to ask this, but it does involve staticly routing my ubuntu server [01:35] jrib: I was looking at -ctime, but I can't figure out which order my arguments should go in.

[01:36] hanyou: have you thought about the router? [01:36] yes [01:37] PICI gave them to me [01:37] how the hell do you remember all this , with the names of these linux programs so phucked [01:37] I cant seem to remember how to resolve this annoyance. When I roll my mouse over a music file, it starts playing automatically. Any ideaS?

Ideas? [01:37] ToddEDM: I lack a life [01:37] hanyou: im not the most knowledgable about these things, but I have heard that routers can block individual ports [01:37] openmindDJ: Its in the Nautilus preferences. [01:37] haha [01:37] ohh yea.... [01:37] ToddEDM: and I was lucky enough to find someone to help when I was sitting there where you are [01:37] hmm well rhythmbox and amarok are acting funny...i can play a song, but when i switch to a different song it freezes [01:37] ok i got all that installed on the desktop.. and restarted xinetd [01:38] danbhfive: Went through that with the laptop. All that was left when I was done was me to terminal into my Cisco Gateway and rewrite my routing table. [01:38] yeah i thank you thor [01:38] jrib; Oh! Thanks! [01:38] ToddEDM: old age and experience :P [01:38] ToddEDM: now try ssh to the desktop from the laptop... [01:38] remember when it asks to use the pw you have on the desktop...not the laptop [01:38] i need some help getting trash can and showdesktop on avant dock [01:38] Thanks Pici, can;t believe I forgot that! [01:39] cool i think that worked [01:39] ToddEDM: it gets better...stick with me [01:39] or a good irc channel where I could talk to some networking gurus as my question isn't specific to ubuntu... [01:39] hey, is there a way to go back to a previouse state of ubuntu? [01:39] haha right on [01:39] hiii [01:39] restore... [01:39] kakoonia: reinstall old one :P lol [01:39] jomknjoip [01:39] ToddEDM: if you look around you will see you are now on the desktop...you see the desktop file structure. Every command you enter there will occur on teh desktop...not the laptop [01:39] mnklnion [01:39] thor , you realize, now i will be looking for you EVERYTIME i have a problem! [01:39] kakoonia: dont suppose you made any backups [01:39] kakoonia: like downgrading version? no [01:40] danbhfive: I'm pretty swift when it comes to anything PC or Apple related, but this has me tied upside down on a freeway overpass. [01:40] jrib: Any way I can copy all of those files? [01:40] jack [01:40] ToddEDM: and most importantly...everything you do is via ssh...and encrypted channel...so it is about as safe as it can get [01:40] kakoonia: you could clean install but that's not typical meaning of downgrade in the usual sense [01:40] cool [01:40] ToddEDM: we will make it a little safer later... [01:40] ToddEDM: now...when you are done....type 'exit' and you should return to the laptop prompt [01:40] ToddEDM: take your time [01:40] jimjam: you can use -exec cp (see examples in find's man page) or pipe to xargs cp [01:41] jrib: Thanks so much === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [01:41] I could swear this is caused by the linux-kernel-rt: "There was an error starting GNOME settings daemon... will try to restart the next time you log in." I have two computers that started doing this after upgrading to the real-time kernel. Anyone know what's going on? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:41] im not meaning downgrade, i tried to fix something with my laptop screen, so i did some bad adjustments.. now.. i got some bad things going on reboot and resolution got bad.. so i was wondering if theres a way to go back to a previouse state of this installation that worked fine... [01:41] ghgf [01:41] Just installed Gutsy - I thought this version was supposed to have complete/easier support for configuring xorg? I'm still stuck at a refresh rate of 50Hz. [01:42] Is anyone using the real-time kernel? [01:42] stodge: are you using nvidia? [01:42] yes [01:42] stodge: use dpkg-reconfigure and enter the refresh rates for your monitor [01:42] there is a bug in the nvidia drivers concerning refresh rates [01:42] ToddEDM: remember...you can open several terminals so you can compare what you are doing on the desktop to what you have on the laptop (if you are so inclined) [01:42] compiz works a treat though with minimal work, which was nice [01:42] jack_sparrow: I thought that was supposed to be a thing of the past? [01:43] ToddEDM: you can even open several ssh sessions to the desktop...although that would be redundant and repetitive [01:43] im not meaning downgrade, i tried to fix something with my laptop screen, so i did some bad adjustments.. now.. i got some bad things going on reboot and resolution got bad.. so i was wondering if theres a way to go back to a previouse state of this installation that worked fine...?? [01:43] i've got a problem with networking. [01:43] stodge: I have to edit my xorg.conf to get proper refresh rate. [01:43] stodge: If it dosent setup your hardware you still need to do it manually [01:43] sorry for sounding so newbish, but what am i supposed to do on the desktop? [01:43] :( [01:43] ToddEDM: nothing...you do it all from the laptop...that is the point [01:44] yeah thats what i meant [01:44] ubuntu is NOT giving itself an ip address, even though i specifically told it to do so [01:44] stodge: the nvidia driver scrambles the refresh rate information, so if you are using the driver, the wrong refreshes will get reported [01:44] i just wanan print a doc [01:44] ah ok [01:44] stodge: i have the same problem [01:44] ToddEDM: for instance, if you type 'mkdir /home/ToddEDM/temp' it will make the directory on the desktop...not on the laptop...even though you are typing on the laptop [01:44] kakoonia: oh, probably your xorg.conf [01:44] ping [01:44] I have the horiz and vert values set in xorg.conf [01:44] pinging doesn't work since it doesnt have an IP [01:44] kakoonia: you could try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to possibly regenerate the default config [01:44] everything is just lost [01:44] i want print/my/damn/document [01:44] no route to host, etc [01:44] lol [01:45] danbhfive: Well, regardless I got it to work on one machine today even if it was just luck. [01:45] scguy318 [01:45] [01:45] ToddEDM, setup your printer already [01:45] ? [01:45] bahh [01:45] ToddEDM: by the end of this evening...you can put your desktop in the closet and let it run there [01:45] lo [01:45] l [01:45] danbhfive: I don't think it has anything to do with vid card.... I could be wrong but I don't think so. [01:45] does ubuntu have a registrey [01:45] tuxthepenguin533: not really [01:45] cyzie: yes [01:45] tuxthepenguin533: no [01:45] tuxthepenguin533, no [01:45] hanyou: yeah, I dont think i can help much more [01:45] God I love virtualbox [01:45] ToddEDM, so setup it then, it's easy [01:45] tuxthepenguin533: GConf is about the closest thing to one, and its hardly a registry [01:45] then where do configs go [01:45] it is [01:45] ToddEDM: when you are ready...log out of the desktop [01:45] anyone here good with networks? [01:45] scguy318: No. gnome uses a registry-like system called gconf, but its very organized [01:45] tuxthepenguin533: files [01:45] kakoonia: wut [01:46] ToddEDM: and log back in with 'ssh -X ipaddress' [01:46] i want to extract an osx .dmg to get at a graphics file. can i do this in ubuntu? [01:46] scguy318 is xserver-xorg a part of the command? [01:46] Galatea2: just ask. [01:46] Pici: I meant in the Window sense :) [01:46] hanyou: it is interesting, your pings are getting stopped at a certain spot [01:46] kakoonia: yes [01:46] ToddEDM: that is an uppercase X [01:46] hi [01:46] k [01:46] kakoonia: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:46] whats kde use then like gconf [01:46] danbhfive: Don't worry I didn't come in expecting a solution, just a push in the right direction. [01:46] Jest tu ktos z polski ? :> [01:46] So nobody's using real-time? [01:46] !pl | lukaszz [01:46] lukaszz: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [01:46] thor, what is his problem ? [01:46] ill try, thanks\ [01:46] tuxthepenguin533: I think it just uses files [01:46] heya [01:46] ok [01:46] why can't ubuntu just work? [01:46] kakoonia: after doing that try restarting X [01:46] danbhfive: As I said, samn thing with the computer I am typing on right now earlier today. Then, poof, magic it works. Wierd...... [01:46] Galatea2, it does for me [01:47] cyzie...nothing...we got the printer working and now I am showing him how to control the desktop without having to be in front of it [01:47] Galatea2, why nto ? [01:47] cyzie: i want to print a doc. with my desktop... im on my laptop [01:47] is it me, or does compiz manage to work better with ubuntu/gnome? [01:47] why can't windows just work? [01:47] where do the files get stored [01:47] because one moment ago [01:47] no no thor, it hasnt printed yet [01:47] ... [01:47] tuxthepenguin533: everything is in your home dir [01:47] thor, many ways then, ssh and vnc, rdesktop is a few ways [01:47] i was transferring files from this laptop to the computer running ubuntu [01:47] through a physical network link [01:47] ok [01:47] the next second, i return, and it refuses to connect [01:47] ToddEDM, easy, 1st ssh to your desktop, do the lp command [01:47] ToddEDM: should...you said you found the printer in cups on the laptop...so it should be in the printer menu when you print from a program [01:47] anybody know static routing? [01:47] danbhfive: Just wish there was someone in here that knew exactly what my problem was. [01:48] PeteOnline: what about it? [01:48] or a good channel to ask that same question in? [01:48] ztomic: i filed a bug report because I couldn't select a valid refresh rate, even though it was in my xorg.cong, and the guy told me it was a bug in the nvidia driver, it sounded like that guy was having the same problem, but for sure, i still cant select a refresh rate :) [01:48] and now using ifconfig -a [01:48] PeteOnline: whats your question on it [01:48] my network does not contain an inet entry [01:48] PeteOnline: This channel is as good as any go. [01:48] Assid: I've been trying to wrap my head around it basically. To actually understand it [01:48] Galatea2, dhcp ? [01:48] ToddEDM: the ssh stuff is so you can install and config programs without having to sit in front of the computer...sorry...got ahead of the game [01:48] yes [01:48] danbhfive: hmm... interesting. [01:48] "roaming mode" [01:48] I get ip addressing and subnetting and all [01:48] and this computer is configured with a static IP [01:48] Galatea2, do a networking restart [01:49] PeteOnline: very very simple.. think of the destiantion ip address as a destination on a map [01:49] thor: thats ok... that was good info [01:49] how do i do that? [01:49] the route itself as different routes to that location [01:49] Galatea2, /etc/init.d/networking restart in root [01:49] just updated GPSD ... gpsdrive don't work no more [01:49] ToddEDM: if you open the document on your laptop, when you go to print it, you should find the network printer on the drop down menu [01:49] ok i see the printer when im printing from openoffice [01:49] if you hve a multi homed network, then you basically choose which netwrok you want to use to reach that destination [01:49] yes i see it thor [01:49] hi [01:49] ToddEDM: ok...does it print? [01:49] okay let's see now [01:49] i need help [01:49] no, it sits in queue [01:50] nope, still not there [01:50] I understand the idea behind static routing, but the way you enter static routes on most consumer grade routers confuses me [01:50] how to get more bright in ubuntu ? [01:50] PeteOnline: Go to https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/networking-enable.html#networking-enable-nm [01:50] if you wanna go to florida from newyork, then you choose a route for the whole state of florida.. and not just cape canaveral [01:50] ToddEDM: is it in the queue on the laptop or the desktop? [01:50] Does anyone know why my display still suspends after 10 minutes even though I've turned it off in Screensaver and Power Management? It's quite annoying when watching videos (shouldn't video players disable this anyway?) [01:50] haha it woulda been funny if i said YA IT PRINTS [01:50] ToddEDM: use the 'lpq' command on both machines [01:50] anybody have some extensive knowledge about windows? [01:50] in fact, now i can't even select the radio button in the network menu near the clock thing [01:50] rhythmbox keeps on crashing when i manually select a song...anyone know wtf is up with it? [01:50] PeteOnline: That is the Ubuntu Documentation on manual config and such. [01:50] PeteOnline: just read up on subnet masks.. that should easily clear it for you [01:50] lpq: error - no default destination available. [01:50] anybody who uses gpsd ? [01:50] Galatea2, i have never get any porblem on that [01:51] (the radio button which corresponds with my network) [01:51] ToddEDM: was that on the desktop or the laptop? [01:51] well maybe you're lucky :( [01:51] billy: can i ask why you are asking about windows in the ubuntu channel? [01:51] both [01:51] just wondering :p [01:51] Galatea2, not lucky u dumb [01:51] ToddEDM: you can print from the desktop, right? [01:51] cause my windows isnt booting [01:51] !windows | billy [01:51] billy: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute.

I have been running PCLinuxOS for about 9 months. I'm having some issues with Grub. Is this the right place to ask for help? [01:51] how so? [01:51] okay so, does compiz somehow work better on gnome for some stupid reason? or is that just me [01:51] I have read up on subnet masks, how it bitwise masks the ip address to discern the network portion and the host portion, etc [01:51] billy: is it not in your grub menu? [01:51] you see, if i was to connect to it wirelessly though the house's router, it connects to my shared folder almost instantly [01:52] Galatea2, what do YOU mean how ? [01:52] well its in the menu [01:52] when when i boot it [01:52] yup... im printing a test doc right now thor [01:52] well, what do you want me to check, cyzie? [01:52] it loads the welcome page, then restarts [01:52] from the Desktop [01:52] ToddEDM: from the desktop, right? [01:52] yes [01:52] no help on GNOME Settings Manager? [01:52] it's just weird how it's not the same for when you use a physical connection [01:52] Anyone here know how to use rn? [01:52] I need a guru [01:52] ToddEDM: when it is done...try printing the test document from the laptop using cups [01:52] billy: when you load into ubuntu and check the file directories.. is everything seemingly in order? or are your folders empty? [01:53] Galatea2, go to /etc/network check the interfaces entry [01:53] well lemme try this question: I have an ubuntu server behind a router and I want to give it an external static ip through the router [01:53] ToddEDM: and you did add the network printer on the laptop using cups, right? [01:53] Galatea2, dont enable wireless and ethernet at the same time [01:53] If I want to start reading usenet posts on a certain server, how would I set up "rn" to do this? I want to connect to news://freenews.netfront.net [01:53] everything is still there for my windows files [01:53] * ^garfield2^ is away (I am Off Line Now...)

[01:54] Ongaku: coincidence? [01:54] Anyone know how to setup a Dell Laserjet to a gutsy install that is networking. I tried the Samba browser and I couldn't find it. Would manually entering it in do the trick? [01:54] scguy318: heh [01:54] already being used for another device, and I can't seem to DMZ 2 hosts [01:54] because what else can i enable, since i can't select anything apart from wireless [01:54] billy: did this just happen when you installed ubuntu... or was this previously working and then stopped suddenly [01:54] Ongaku: try running from terminal and see what error messages u get === CyberPunk is now known as nerdsquad3210 [01:54] ToddEDM: the test print you sent from the desktop worked OK, right? [01:54] it wasnt working before i installed ubuntu [01:54] Galatea2, why cant u disable wireless?

[01:55] billy: okay windows was already broken before you installed ubuntu i have this correct? [01:55] okay i'll do that [01:55] PeteOnline: nope. you can't do two. but you may forward from other server or set up individual ports from the router.

[01:56] ToddEDM: you can use an ssh shell on the laptop if you like instead of going to the desktop [01:56] scguy318: segmentation fault.... [01:56] is it possible to install ubuntu to fat32 [01:56] Galatea2, after that 2 lines, there are no anymore below ? [01:56] PeteOnline: because DMZ is designed for quick and easy. [01:56] by the way, what is eth0-avah? [01:56] Jaydedragon yeah it was broken before i installed ubuntu [01:56] noobynoob: no [01:56] that's all there is in interface [01:56] y [01:56] y [01:57] what can i do? uninstall reinstall or what... [01:57] billy: than yes you will need to find a windows channel or referr to microsoft support.. research it on google.. call a friend .. or call microsoft [01:57] wrong entry Galatea2 [01:57] hi, whenever i try to do a sudo command with & it just skips over the password prompt and cancels the command, how do i do this [01:57] ToddEDM: once you have both queues cleared...open cups on the laptop and go to the Printers tab [01:57] that is why your networking fuckup [01:57] heh yeah [01:57] Galatea2, what did u do ? [01:57] it's /etc/network/interface, right? [01:57] nothing [01:57] were allowed to swear [01:57] Galatea2, no [01:57] as i said, i returned and then it wouldn't work [01:57] no not really [01:57] it's /etc/network/interfaces [01:57] oh ok [01:58] well yes that's what i meant [01:58] ztomic: so would I be able to do the same / similar thing with static routing? [01:58] thor: its asking for the password on my desktop... it wont take it [01:58] khin: Just type sudo, authenicate, and then all your commands should have sudo authority [01:58] !mark [01:58] Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com [01:58] hanyou: have you tried packet sniffing? I cant really offer to help you with that, but i [01:58] ToddEDM: give it your password.... [01:58] would it be possible to rebuild it? [01:58] password for roxanne on localhost..... i type it, and it just keeps asking me [01:58] I'm trying it out myself atm [01:58] roxanne = my wife [01:58] !ubuntu [01:58] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [01:58] Galatea2, u can do that but that is idiotic move, why dont u just get a working interfaces file and modify from there?

[01:59] msgthebot | noobynoob [01:59] ToddEDM: your wife is a second account on the computer? [01:59] PeteOnline: never tried it, but I bet it would be more difficult than setting the router to forward port ranges or specific ports. [01:59] where could a location of such file be found? [01:59] I have had a working install of PCLinuxOS on what would be in Windows Terms my Primary Master HD. I wanted to try some other Linux Distros withour giving up PCLOS until I found something I like better. When I tried to install Fedora 8 onto a new HD located as secondary slave, the Fedora installer screwed up my GRUB and computer wouldn't boot. Fedora screws up Grub every time I've tried it. So I wiped Fedora and i [01:59] nstalled Ubuntu 7.04. Ubuntu works fine but I can't boot into my PCLOS system. I get Error 11 Unrecognized device string. Can anyone help me fix this please? [01:59] ! msgthebot | noobynoob [01:59] thor: ok that worked [01:59] Galatea2, have u ask google? [01:59] Hanyou: well, hehe, I don't know, I'm a total noob at this, but im using wireshark, It just seemed like a next step for you [01:59] i'll do it now [01:59] thor, yes, but i believe i gave her admin privleges [01:59] Galatea2, u can type my name, so easier to see here [02:00] watch the packets from another computer [02:00] ToddEDM: ok...clear the queue on the laptop as well... [02:00] hold on [02:00] ztomic: unfortunatley, the same port is going to be used on 2 different machines behind the router [02:00] ToddEDM: then open cups in the browser on the laptop [02:00] danbhfive: I will try that, though I doubt it will help me much. [02:00] PeteOnline: thats a predicament. [02:00] hold on a sec... walmart photo just called , i gotta call my wifey [02:00] cyzie: if this interfaces file was so bankrupt of information, why was it able to accomdate my wireless card? [02:00] ToddEDM:k [02:00] Galatea2, /usr/share/doc/ppp/examples/interfaces [02:00] anyone know if these internet problems with gutsy are being fixed - cos mine is stuffed and the ipv6 stuff doesn't help. [02:00] l [02:00] ol [02:01] ztomic: I have a small block of static ip addresses that I can use, I just can't figure out how to use them through a router [02:01] Nice I emulated Vista with virtualbox [02:01] Galatea2, i have no idea how is your setup and what u going to do with it. you youself dont know what u are doing and that is dangerous [02:01] Marcusklaas: no Aero tho :P [02:01] Marcusklaas: now...can you emulate a more serious disease [02:01] aero = ?? [02:01] PeteOnline: put a switch between the modem and the router. set up the servers on the switch and the other computers on the router. [02:01] Marcusklaas: the fancy Vista 3D [02:01] oh lol :( [02:02] thor: ok cups is open on the laptop [02:02] Marcusklaas: 3D typically doesn't work on VMs, hard to virtualize [02:02] test page , no working [02:02] ToddEDM: ok...on the Printers tab.... [02:02] Marcusklaas: VMware is the only thing that has basically beta support [02:02] i need some help getting trash can and showdesktop on avant dock, anyone?? [02:02] This is honestly about to make me cry. [02:02] ok [02:02] i heard there's a very lean version of ubuntu of vmware integrated .. liek 300 MBs big [02:02] set printer options [02:02] ok [02:02] ToddEDM: make sure they are ok [02:03] thor, how do u know if ToddEDM know how to make sure? he is newbie [02:03] controlled by printout mode.... [02:03] cyzie...they are page length and such...would be specific to his setup [02:04] ztomic: I was thinking of doing that, but I also need to use it locally, inside the router [02:04] it all looks good thor [02:04] error policy is retry-job [02:04] !logs [02:04] ToddEDM: on the printers tab also check the line 'Printer State' it should say 'idle, accepting jobs' [02:04] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [02:04] thor, ok, i hope he know [02:04] I have /etc/network/interfaces set up with a virtual interface for the second ip address [02:04] can anyone recommend a good screen video capture program for ubuntu? [02:04] hey scguy318: can i do the glassy window look tho? [02:04] PeteOnline: that's where you're gonna have to set up static routing and I don't know how. [02:04] Marcusklaas, yes [02:04] cyzie...they aren;t real important right now...would just mess up the format [02:04] ah cool [02:04] where can i configure that? [02:04] cyzie...I wanted him to know they are there [02:04] in interfaces? [02:05] right. [02:05] thor, hehe. yes, show the kiddie [02:05] yes also it says published thor [02:05] Grav3Mind: applications->accessories->take screen shot [02:05] ToddEDM: good...then it should be working. When you click on Print Test Page does it give an error? [02:05] VIDEO [02:05] not screen shot [02:05] ztomic: i have that figured out, my question is more on the router's side, which I realise isn't really this channel's purpose [02:05] Grav3Mind: ah...you did say video, my apologies...don't know there [02:06] ok i see something i idnt notice before, which i shoulda, its in big bold type ....Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds... [02:06] lol sorry robdig.... [02:06] ToddEDM: really...that means it can't get to the desktop...are you running firewalls? [02:06] Galatea2, good to go now ? [02:06] it's possible to run keyboard events from bash terminal? [02:06] PeteOnline: yeah, i hear you. I'v never done it. probably set your servers up to receive from IP and the router to static route to an ip. I dunno. [02:06] ToddEDM:...wait...check this.... [02:07] thor, maybe on my router [02:07] ToddEDM: on the printers tab...click on Modify Printer [02:07] nope [02:07] is it possible [02:07] Galatea2, ? [02:07] that i just add my own entry [02:07] ToddEDM: no...the router would only be firewalled to the internet [02:07] Galatea2, how? [02:07] Galatea2, yes [02:07] k [02:07] I'm looking at an emacs interface for the first time because i want to learn to use 'r' and I'm told ESS (emacs speaks statistics) is the way to go, but I am really displeased with the display. It looks bad, like what gnucash looked like in Feisty. Any ideas on improving font rendering, at the very least? [02:07] ToddEDM:click on Modify Printer, then Click on Continue... [02:07] ztomic: yeah, I think we both have the same level of knowledge on this, neither of us know how to do static routing on the router. blind leading the blind and all [02:07] anyone know of a good VIDEO screen capture program [02:08] like, i'd just write iface eth0 inet static [02:08] hehe [02:08] whats a good lightweight Mplayer GUI? [02:08] this shouldnt be happening though [02:08] thor ok [02:08] ubuntu is just meant to work without a hitch [02:08] and it does [02:08] Galatea2, yes, then u need to insert the ip ssubnet mask and gw [02:08] ToddEDM: Make sure the device is right...I think it should be AppSocket/HP Direct [02:08] yeah [02:08] Any ideas what I'm missing: undefined reference to `XPending' [02:08] hi [02:08] no1 knows? [02:08] Hi. does anyone have a minute to answer some Ub. Ser. 7.10 questions? [02:08] thor: it was windows printer via samba [02:09] i changed it [02:09] Galatea2, yes, ubuntu work out of the box unless u go mess it up and that u dont know what u are doin [02:09] !ask | vee_ [02:09] vee_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:09] ToddEDM: you may have to play with those to see which driver works [02:09] hehe [02:09] i have a problem. when i move icons on desktops , it makes copy instead of just move it [02:09] thanx [02:09] ok np [02:09] first involves RAID 1 [02:09] I used my BIOS to set up a RAID 1 [02:09] Hi, I can't boot Ubuntu 7.10 a 500Mhz G3 iMac because the machine will power off 3 seconds after yaboot. I tried passing "video=ofonly", but that results in an empty black screen. [02:09] ToddEDM: I am running a Canon iP90 on ubuntu and that is what I needed for my laptop [02:09] well i didn't touch anything at all! [02:09] ArthurArchnix: you can install emacs 23 from http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/ [02:10] I was hoping this would make things easier. [02:10] this is frustrating. ubuntu isn't meant to destroy the network after i leave for a few minutes [02:10] ToddEDM: once you have it changed (try the AppSocket) click continue and see if the device url is OK [02:10] When I went to install 7.10 - it saw two disks instead of 1 [02:10] ToddEDM: oops...hold on [02:10] So I choose the first === _RvGaTe is now known as RvGaTe [02:10] How do you go about disabling a piece of hardware in your system? [02:10] PeteOnline: you may be able to install extra nic's on the servers and connect them to the router but that defeats the purpose of wide area network. [02:10] Can anyone help me with my GRUB issue, or point me to a GRUB support channel please? [02:11] Galatea2, no it wont, i been running ubuntu like >100 days, no problem on my networking [02:11] kelsin: Beauty. Thanks. [02:11] I wasn't really expecting anyone here to know static routing, I was more hoping someone knew a good irc channel I could go bug [02:11] scott__: whats your issue? [02:11] ToddEDM: no...it should be Windows/Samba...I was looking at the wrong machine...sorry [02:11] but why am i the unfortunate one? [02:11] extra cost too but nics are cheap [02:11] installation said it was finished and now- I have the reboot and selct proper Boot Device...message [02:11] if u are not the one who is change it, then have u look into other possiblity? [02:11] ToddEDM: on the next page you should see the device url [02:11] what did I do wrong? [02:11] like software that change it ? [02:11] yeah, i might just do that in the end, but static routing through the router and locking down that specific ip address would be best [02:11] ok [02:11] DCC SEND "itsabeautifuldaythesunisshiningifeelgoodnobodyisgoingtoletmedown" 0 0 0 0 0 [02:12] nobody have an idea ? [02:12] PeteOnline, don't the linksys routers have good config software, which handles all that? [02:12] make sure the device url is something like...'smb://192.168.1.xxx/name' where name is the name of the printer [02:12] I had PCLOS on my primary HD. I added another HD and installed ubuntu. Ubuntu works but i can't boot into my PCLOS. I get Error 11 unrecognized device string [02:12] thor smb://MSHOME/PC-HOME/printer [02:12] hmmmm [02:12] why does eth0 broadcast an ipv6 address, but not an ipv4? [02:12] ToddEDM: nope...your desktop is linux, right? [02:12] danbhfive: I'm using dd-wrt, custom firmware installed on a linksys [02:12] scott__: when grub loads, i presume its when you boot your ubuntu drive first, right? [02:12] yeah!! [02:12] i see [02:12] usd to be windows [02:12] and what's the difference between eth0 and eth0:avah [02:13] ArthurArchnix: you can install the emacs-snapshot-gtk official package just to get gtk widgets, but that package from that blog also includes nice XFT font support [02:13] The working Grub is on the new hard drive [02:13] Galatea2, fix yoru problem first. [02:13] ToddEDM: is the desktop named MSHOME? [02:13] Query: Gparted doesn't let me unmount my /dev/sda1 hard drive because other things are mounted to the same point, how do I get it so I can unmount it? [02:13] thor: no [02:13] Galatea2, u are running away from your own problem [02:13] its wrong [02:13] well i've tried everything including setting my network to DHCP inside interfaces [02:13] ToddEDM: right...you need to change that...smb://ipaddress/name [02:13] I boot up and I get a grub menu to choose my OS. Ubuntu and PCLOS are both on the list [02:13] ToddEDM: ipaddress is the ipaddress of the desktop, and name is the name you put into Samba on the desktop [02:13] scott__: ok, can you browse the old drive, and look at the grub menu config? IF so, it will tell you what parameters it was using, and you can just set those perameters inside Ubuntu's grub menu.lst, [02:13] I am literally lost for ideas [02:14] vee_ i have no idea, but, I'm gona send you a webpage [02:14] ok [02:14] !raid > vee_ [02:14] ToddEDM: sorry about this...I am usually better [02:14] ok. I'll try that. Thanks. [02:14] hey thhis is great thor thanks [02:14] PeteOnline: try some other channels... these guys are pretty specific in here. If it aint ubuntu, they don't know. [02:14] ok the mane i put in samba....... [02:14] name [02:14] okay [02:14] this is strange [02:14] ToddEDM: once you have the url set, click continue [02:14] interfaces is now devoid of the entry i put in, and saved [02:15] ToddEDM:choose the printer and click continue [02:15] yes- i went to that site already -- doesnt cover 71.0 [02:15] i dont know thqat name i put in samba [02:15] 71.0 [02:15] or just don't care [02:15] ztomic: I tried networking, but it was like talking to a room full of statues [02:15] that definitely isn't normal. [02:15] ToddEDM: you should use the same driver you are using on the desktop [02:15] danbhfive: is RAID a bad idea? [02:15] danbhfive: Do you know how to disable a piece of hardware on gutsy? I have been looking in support docs and haven't found crap. [02:15] When I open menu.1st it opens read only. Who do I get it to open as a read write? [02:15] Hello.. in which file should I define my EDITOR variable? [02:16] scott___: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:16] thor: gimme an example of yours [02:16] scott__, sudo ? [02:16] how do i set off definitvly the bell ? [02:16] it beep on my computer [02:16] thanks. I was opening from GUI [02:16] and it is annoying [02:16] neko, System>Preferences>Sound ? [02:16] ToddEDM: my printer is a canon pixma ip90...I use the driver for the iP2000 since there isn't one for the ip90 [02:16] cool [02:17] oops i was meaning the Dvice U [02:17] RL [02:17] thanks pabix [02:17] URI [02:17] it seems as if ubuntu doesn't want me to network the two computers together [02:17] neko, welcome [02:17] oh...my device url is smb://192.168.0.xx/iP90 [02:17] anyone here got avalaunch working? [02:17] ToddEDM: in samba on the server I called the printer iP90 [02:18] vee_ i dunno, it sounds like a pain :) [02:18] \\|// [02:18] {ö/ö} [02:18] anyone with another idea? [02:18] ToddEDM: just curious...did you install swat with samba? [02:18] hanyou: no i don't, im google'ing, have you tried ifdown? [02:18] thor: no [02:18] ToddEDM: do yourself a favour...install swat [02:19] galatea2 [02:19] danbhfive: so whast the best way to set up Linux so that it mirrors certain info two a second internal HD [02:19] you want to make samba network with them ? [02:19] hold on , im trying to figure out my URI [02:19] yes [02:19] i've done that [02:19] and i've transferred files between the two computers on several occasions [02:19] how the two computer get their IP ? [02:20] oh it have work in the past but no more now ? [02:20] this computer has an ip set up of 192.168.2.1 [02:20] yes [02:20] man the live cd should use anti aliasing [02:20] the other one ? [02:20] and the other connects via "roaming mode" [02:20] anyone know where i can change this setting? [02:20] the fonts look too crappy [02:20] check with ifconfig it they are in the same network [02:20] which worked extremely well until an hour ago [02:21] eth0 is not assigned an ip [02:21] there's something ghostly called eth0:avah [02:21] okey 1 have an ip the other have none [02:21] ToddEDM: I used this link... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282096 [02:21] which has an IP, but exists on a different subnet [02:21] Sorry to ask this but where could i find a background/wallpaper which is pretty representative of ubuntu's spirit? (something like the picture on the CD jackets). Need this for a presentation, thank you [02:22] K_Dallas: gnome-look.org [02:22] K_Dallas: try google images [02:22] thank you both [02:22] ToddEDM: if you can't figure out the printer name....you can find it easy wth swat [02:22] hanyou: for network devices, it looks like you could just use the gui under System > Administration > Network [02:22] Galatea2, google images is frustrating, most of the time [02:22] ok [02:22] okey so your main problem is that one of your computer is no more in your network ? [02:22] i decided to insult ubuntu by placing the leopard-beta "grass" desktop [02:22] its there away to to open with wine a .exe after double-click and not right-click open with wine? this what appear when i do a double-click .exe http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/5f8c9bb26f.png [02:22] yes, that's the problem neko [02:23] they're not "communicating" with each other [02:23] anyone? [02:23] why is fileserver trying to send me Fedora 8 so badly? [02:23] K_Dallas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official that can help, not backgrounds, but logos and stuff [02:23] first you really need to have your two computer in the same network [02:23] thanks kelsin [02:23] what the problem with the one that get no IP ? [02:23] vee_: sorry, i have never done raid myself, i personally just backup as i need to, but its really not that secure the way i do it [02:24] the problem is it's running ubuntu [02:24] problem indeed [02:24] ToddEDM: the other way to find the printer name is to look in the samba config file...but since I discovered swat I have never looked there...so don't even remember where to find it [02:24] vee_: in fact, i don't know much about backing up in ubuntu [02:24] how do i change the anti aliasing of the screen? [02:24] I know only two way to assign IP [02:24] Assid: go to system>preference>appearance>fonts [02:24] by hand [02:24] ok i got swat... how do i open it [02:24] yeah, by hand it doesn't work [02:24] or with a dhcp [02:24] and that doesn't work either [02:24] vee_: I did move /home to a certain partition, which is kinda a backup proceedure [02:24] in appearance prefs Assid? under fonts [02:24] ToddEDM: you installed swat on the desktop, right? [02:25] cvd: Have you looked at thunar file manager... [02:25] something went bad with /etc/network/interface [02:25] both [02:25] the net interface is wifi ? [02:25] and I have no idea how to fix it [02:25] on the computer that have the problem [02:25] no, its with a physical hardware link [02:25] ToddEDM: ok..on the laptop open a browser tab and for an address type 'ipaddress:901' the ipaddress of the desktop [02:25] thunar? [02:25] thanks [02:25] they're both connected though car5 [02:25] cat5* [02:25] through* [02:25] cvd: Yes, like nautilus, but smaller and lighter [02:25] wifi works great [02:25] danbhfive: if it means avoiding headaches and trying to get thing to work right, I can have just two HDs and some sort of app that backs up when asked - does this sound like the better way to do it? [02:26] but its slow and the packet loss is substantial because the computer is in the backyard [02:26] you have a computer in the backyard too? [02:26] ToddEDM: did swat open or do we need to restart xinetd again? [02:26] vee_: one line in a cli will backup for you [02:26] yeah [02:26] i like gnome, .exe worked before, but now i dont know what happend i wont open with wine automatically [02:26] restart [02:26] i use it for timemachine and what not [02:26] Jack_Sparrow: please enlighten me! [02:26] just playin... [02:26] ToddEDM: sudo /usr/sbin/xinetd restart [02:27] vee_: you can install thunar with synaptic, aptitude or apt-get [02:27] vee_: well, as a fellow noob to this stuff, yes :P [02:27] its actually my old computer which i gave to my rents because apparently ubuntu is easy to use [02:27] ToddEDM: on the desktop [02:27] ToddEDM: then refresh the browser page and see if swat loads (I hope) [02:27] vee_: i mean, if it aint working, and you can live without it, why bother, this is just MHO [02:27] but, upon reflection, it's starting to be (un) good [02:28] danbhfive: completely new to this stuff and want to make it easy yet efficient [02:28] okay, i may as well transfer files though the sneakernet [02:28] :( nope thor [02:28] this is ridiculous [02:28] thanks, bye. [02:28] ? [02:28] vee_: yeah, if you are new, i would say, forget raid for now [02:28] ToddEDM: ok...you will have to take a look at the samba config. Research swat on ubuntu later...it is worth the trouble [02:28] danbhfive: i hear ya - just need the machine to serve as a LAMP and file server [02:29] ToddEDM: let me see if I can find the samba config [02:29] whats the equivalent command to use in ubuntu to chkdsk.. in windows i would "chkdsk g: /f" to fix a currupt drive.. but, how to do that in ubuntu ? [02:29] vee_: raid is not worth the effort... [02:29] vee_: i think raid is something thats a bit involved to setup, ie, get linux to recognize it on bootup [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: whats that line you mentioned or app? [02:29] fsck [02:29] I need help getting Internet Time working right in Ubuntu 7.10. Can anyone help me? [02:29] lashmoove [02:29] vee_: thunar file manager... install with synaptic or apt-get or aptitude [02:30] danbhfive: yea, at the moment I installed the server addition and now it wont boot at all from the HD [02:30] thunar us a really great file manager [02:30] how do I turn off updatedb autorunning? [02:30] ToddEDM: ok.../etc/samba/smb.conf [02:30] peacho: whats going on? [02:30] ToddEDM: on the desktop...in a terminal type 'less /etc/samba/smb.conf' [02:30] how to check size of /home/user/ ? i want to do backup of it [02:30] <|muelli|> hm netsrot. good question. I'd look in /etc/cron.d/ [02:30] ToddEDM: you familiar with 'less'? [02:30] Jack_Sparrow thanx so much [02:30] np [02:31] haha not at all thor [02:31] <|muelli|> user_: try a "du -hs" in your directory === |muelli| is now known as Muelli [02:31] When I open Time and Date Settings and change Configuration from Manual to "Keep Synchronized with Internet Servers" it tells me I must install NTP support. [02:31] netstrot: System > Preferences > Sessions [02:31] ToddEDM: it just lets you see the file...not edit it. Page down by hitting the spacebar, and back with the 'b' key [02:31] thanks [02:31] k [02:32] ToddEDM: look for the definition for the shared printer...the name you need is the name on the left side in square brackets [iP90] [02:32] user_ you can also [02:32] If I click Install, it sits there for a little while and then it doesn't seem to fix anything. [02:32] right click on nautilus [02:32] danbhfive: what did you pick (when installing) when it came to partioning? I think I am going to reinstall after I tell the BIOS to stop the RAID 1 and switch them both to act like IDE [02:32] kelsin: You know what it was? your second comment there started me looking through synaptic. The thing is I wanted ess, but when I selected that it installed emacs 21 as the dependency. Emacs 22's font rendering is fine, and is also available in the repository. As is the snapshots you mentioned. Now to see if ess is working with 22, and then if I can uninstall 21 without apt also removing ess. Sigh... :) [02:32] neko, yes? [02:32] peacho: yes, you need NTP to sync. you can get it by typing in a terminal apt-get install ntp [02:32] ToddEDM: there should be a line in that section with the 'printer name=' [02:32] for check a size of a folder [02:33] ArthurArchnix: yeah it can be slightly odd, but even if you have to remove all then install the snapshot package first, then the ess package you should be ok [02:33] hrmm.. stupid network isnt going on wifi [02:33] not in live cd mode atleast [02:33] the right click > properties [02:33] give you this info also [02:33] in nautilus [02:33] kelsin: Indeed. Well, thanks for the tips and such. [02:33] ArthurArchnix: np [02:34] Allo [02:34] vee_ well, I have 3 partitions i believe, swap, /home, and / [02:34] vee_ i use this as a desktop, and a hobby developement server with apache/php [02:34] i see [printers] and [print$] thor [02:35] i got problem with printing on ubuntu, the shared printer is on windows xp sp2, so sometime after print a lot of pages, then i can not do print, it's like the ubuntu not send print job to the XP, even i already restart the CUPS service (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart) the printer still no respond. Why that happen? [02:35] ToddEDM: right and you should also see a section where you defined the printer for sharing [02:35] should i upgrade my feisty (7.04) to 7.10 to solve this problem ? [02:35] neko, thanks [02:35] hold on [02:35] ToddEDM it may be you never added the printer? [02:36] danbhfive: so new that im not sure what the difference is between the three . I have 2 SATA 500 Gb HDDs [02:36] ok thor, im on the desktop [02:36] does anyone here ever got same problem like me ? or you guys, have no problem with it [02:37] robdig: when I try to install this I get the following error: Package ntp is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:37] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:37] is only available from another source [02:37] E: Package ntp has no installation candidate [02:37] danbhfive: i imagine home/ is for the OS [02:37] ToddEDM right...and looking at the smb.conf file, right? [02:37] user_: what problem are you having? [02:37] vee_ /home is for the user [02:37] danbhfive: not sure what swap is [02:37] vee_ whats this for? [02:37] peacho: let me double check the name... [02:37] vee_ how much ram do you have? [02:37] etc/samba/smb.conf [02:37] ok [02:37] LiMaO, sometime i can not print document to shared printer on xp :( [02:37] danbhfive: Remote and LAN file server and a LAMP test box [02:37] ToddEDM right. And you didn't edit this file at all, right? [02:38] ok [02:38] ram? [02:38] i just wonder does cups or smbfs have problem about stability connecting to windows xp shared printer [02:38] 4 gigs [02:38] is there any issue about this? [02:38] thor: im logged on as myself on the desktop right now... and i cant even get to lok at smb.conf [02:39] vee_ ok, forget about swap i think [02:39] ToddEDM you probably need to do an 'sudo less /etc/samba/smb.conf' [02:39] danbhfive: 2 ghz core 2 duo [02:39] vee_ especially if its only you using it [02:39] danbhfive: swap is like using HD for RAM? [02:39] you will never need swap [02:39] ya [02:39] kewl [02:39] im sure i have to assign some space to it, right? [02:40] no [02:40] peacho: yup, ntp is the package name. you might need to check that your sources are correct...system->administration->software sources and make sure all of the repositories are checked [02:40] ToddEDM did that work? [02:40] is there any software to restore deleted file on ubuntu ? [02:40] CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the [02:40] # cupsys-client package. [02:40] ; printing = cups [02:40] ; printcap name = cups [02:41] oijojoijoij [02:41] danbhfive: I am going to erase my RAID and begin reinstalling, whe I get to partioning, I am going to ask what I should do - is that ok? [02:41] ToddEDM I don't think that will work...but try using the name cups in the url on the laptop [02:41] Under Gutsy, mplayer when using xv only shows green when playing videos. X11 is too slow to really use as an alternative. Ideas? [02:42] ToddEDM you remember where that is? [02:42] @robdig: Okay, so I'm on the Software Sources page and the only thing I see checked on the Ubuntu Software tabbed is Installable from CD/DVD. I take it I want to check all the "Downloadable from the Internet" boxes? [02:42] vee_ I think there is an option to have ubuntu figure out the partitioning for you [02:42] vee_ might as well start there [02:42] is it possible to change my screen resolution to something custom thats not listed in the app for screen res. [02:42] vee_ you can change it later with gparted, and not loose your information [02:42] on the cups page on the browser [02:42] ? [02:42] ? [02:42] peacho: yup [02:42] right [02:42] is there a way to "steal" the window manager from kde? [02:43] Hello I tried searching forums but couldn't find an answer - I installed vim-latexsuite using apt-get, but when I open a .tex file with gvim it doesn't load latexsuite [02:43] danbhfive: yes, the first option. going to erase the RAID 1 and resey the HDs to function as IDEs first [02:43] dont get why linux always uses only 60 hz for its screens for lcd's [02:43] and not 72/75 if the hardware supports it [02:43] vee_ yeah, in the bios [02:44] user_ you could try e2undel [02:44] I thinking of buying a new soundcard. I've read that some people recommend m-audio and other brands instead of Creative's soundcards, because they says they have better sound quality and so on. I want it to give me very nice and clear sound for music listening, in movies and games. kind of an allround-card. is it a creative card I should buy? [02:44] I guess that explains why I couldn't install programs from Add/Remove Programs either! [02:44] anyone here using X and have configured it to use 72/75hz for the video instead of 60 for LCD's ? [02:44] !alsa [02:44] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [02:44] !sound [02:44] peacho: probably so [02:44] Assid: i may use 75hz if i want [02:44] Assid are you sure your lcd can go that high? [02:44] can the window manager be used in gnome? (ie. different wallpaper for each desktop) [02:44] LiMaO: yeah it used to on win [02:45] The Screen Resolution app in system->preferences (in gnome) doesnt list the correct resolutions for my screen (its widescreen), so can i set it in another way? [02:45] (from kde) [02:45] Assid are you using nvidia? [02:45] Assid: i mean it works for me under linux [02:45] dont remember if it was 72/75 [02:45] Hi, I'm running Apache 2 on Ubuntu Server 7.10 and I'm having problems trying to get it to execute cgi/perl scripts. I had this problem before and fixed it somehow. Does anyone know how I can fix it? [02:45] danbhfive: nah, ati radeon 9000 mobility [02:45] Assid: have you properly configured your monitor horizontal and vertical frequency ranges in xorg.conf ? [02:45] its a dell d600 latptop [02:45] reallyjoel are you using an nvidia? [02:45] LiMaO: just reinstalling (changing from kubuntu to ubuntu) [02:46] danbhfive, yes, 6800gt [02:46] Assid: also, if you go to System > Preferences > Screen Resolution, can't you change it there? [02:46] LiMaO: live cd shows me only 60hz [02:46] Assid: mine shows 50hz and 51hz.. if i choose 50, it'll work at 60hz, if i choose 51 it'll work at 75hz [02:46] I was wondering just yesterday if there would ever be a day that I will be so smart that I can edit xorg.conf and know what I'm doing. [02:47] ToddEDM I once told a friend that I liked linux because it allows one to rediscover the joy of getting a printer to print 'hello' [02:47] thor i dont know wtf is wrong with this [02:47] LiMaO, try using the alternate install CD. [02:47] hrmm no such thing here [02:47] reallyjoel the nvidia drivers have a bug which scrambles the refresh rate listings, that might be your problem [02:47] keen101: uh? i don't need it. i have a working system =P [02:47] ToddEDM2:whats the matter? won't it take cups? [02:47] anyone know how to make a suggestion for ubotu? [02:47] robdig: It's installing now... :) [02:47] oh. well, it gives you more options... [02:48] its not doin anything [02:48] danbhfive, well if that bug spills over to screen resolutions, but the refresh rate works fine [02:48] anyone? [02:48] peacho: excellent [02:48] no, i think its just refresh rates [02:48] danbhfive, SHOULD 'Screen Resolution' app list widescreen res's? [02:48] ToddEDM here's the thing...you have almost everything right...but you don't have th eprinter shared via samba yet...that is where swat comes in. If you aren't too discouraged I can help you get that...we are close [02:48] reallyjoel: it should honestluy [02:49] widescreen is getting to be a norm now [02:49] robdig; It just finished and now works fine. Thanks for your help. [02:49] peacho: no prob, have a great evening [02:49] I mean, not should as in usability, but as in how its made currently [02:49] ToddEDM I am looking at this howto....http://linuxtnt.wordpress.com/2007/08/12/starting-swat-on-ubuntu/ [02:49] I have a quick question here, when i use nvidia-settings to switch my screen from my laptop to my TV, How do I switch it back without restarting X? [02:49] reallyjoel are you switching monitors by chance? [02:49] i am very discouraged ... lemme have a look [02:49] ToddEDM2: you need to install one more thing according to that.... [02:50] If anyone else has this problem, it's a known bug see bug #137205 [02:50] ToddEDM2: do 'sudo apt-get install netkit-inetd' on the desktop [02:50] danbhfive, well yeah, but i switched gpu at the same time, from ati to nvidia, required an install of nvidia drivers and a reboot [02:50] hello [02:50] reallyjoel anyway, you can use the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-org [02:50] used the proprietary drivers app for that [02:51] reallyjoel yeah, you need to reconfigure every time you switch monitors [02:51] danbhfive, is it scary? [02:51] i believe [02:51] do you spanish [02:51] ToddEDM2: according to the howto that should enable swat [02:51] reallyjoel not if you know the specs of your monitor, which it sounds like you do [02:51] ToddEDM2: my fault...I thought it was part of xinetd [02:51] help [02:52] ToddEDM2: when we get swat running...it will make samba a snap to configure [02:52] !spanish | ubuntu [02:52] ubuntu: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.

[02:54] danbhfive, hmm? [02:54] Hey. I read somewhere about how Network Manager isnt that good, and there was an alternative. I forgot what the name was. IF anyone knows what I'm talking about, can you please tell me the name [02:55] ToddEDM2: just checking in my ubuntu I don't see netkit-inetd [02:56] ok i did sudo apt-get install swat [02:56] help, I lost my taskbar [02:56] got it on both laptop and desktop [02:56] ToddEDM2: ok...hang on a sec while I check for a better howto [02:56] ToddEDM2: ok...I was right...it is xinetd...check this url....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Swat [02:57] is there any way i can change the status of a hidden directory (windows hidden directory) in ubuntu? [02:58] su - [02:58] ToddEDM2: the line about restarting xinetd is outdated though...it is /usr/sbin/xinetd [02:58] djezer: do you still have one of them? [02:58] n=eldt [02:58] 190.154.56.58 [02:58] Hello. I'm attempting to install using a Xircom rbem56g cardbus ethernet adapter and network autoconfiguration will not assign it an IP. I know it is a functional card, I've used it before in other distros. ANy idea why it wouldn't work please? [02:58] ToddEDM2: if you don't know how to use nano as an editor you can use gedit instead [02:58] quit edit [02:58] lol [02:59] I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? === recon is now known as reconnect [02:59] how to do clean uninstallation after i play enough with wine (apt-get install wine) ? i need to remove the software and all of wine configuration [02:59] ToddEDM2: is that you slipping over the brink? [02:59] Hey, does anyone here know anything about Wine? Their IRC is kinda dead. [02:59] del syetrbfbf [02:59] ok i think im gonna scrap this little excesize of the mind... i will just email the shit to the desktop... seems quicker [02:59] software [02:59] yes thor [02:59] ToddEDM2: if you get that one file created it should do the trick. [03:00] anyone know a decent dc++ client other than linux dc [03:00] danbhfive: I am at the point Guided, but which one ; entire disk / entire disk and set up LVM / entire disk and set up encrypted LVM? then theres the first- resize (which is prolly what i dont want) and manual [03:00] ToddEDM2: but if you want to let it go we can do that too. === reconnect is now known as recon0 [03:00] ToddEDM2: bookmark the howto so you can find it tomorrow [03:01] ToddEDM2: when you access swat you will see what I meant...it makes samba SO easy [03:01] I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? [03:01] vee_ dont you want the first? I don't know, I always have chosen manual :( [03:01] thor.. i got the file made, how do i save it ? [03:01] ToddEDM2: are you using nano? [03:02] yup [03:02] vee_ if you choose manual, all you need to do is have at least one partition marked as / [03:02] ToddEDM2: just hit control-X and it will prmpt if you want to save. Say yes and it will ask for the filename [03:02] ToddEDM2: no..it already knows the filename [03:02] I've just read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/68792 about amue crashing all the time when updating. What's the eta on a solution, anyone know? [03:03] danbhfive choosing manual [03:03] ToddEDM2: then 'sudo /usr/sbin/xinetd restart' [03:03] Whats an alternative network manager than network-manager? [03:03] ToddEDM2: then open the browser on the desktop and type 'localhost:901' for the url [03:03] robdig yeah, but some themes i installed crashed the window manager gnome and kde [03:03] So Apparently I don't have the 3D accelerator or something installed correctly on ubuntu... how would I go about installing that for a integrated intel graphics card? [03:04] :) [03:04] ToddEDM2: did you get it? [03:04] i neede to find a way to open my themes settings from a command [03:04] danbhfive: now i see Guided / Help partioneg below that are two SATA drives - one has a submenu [03:04] Is there another file sharing app that installs easily in Ubuntu? [03:04] danbhfive # 1 primary and #5 logical [03:04] anyone know the program name so i can launch the themes manager in ubuntu [03:04] yes thor [03:05] ToddEDM2: on the printers tab.... [03:05] no im logged into some samba page [03:05] ToddEDM2: there is a drop down for Choose Printer [03:05] ohh ok [03:05] vee_ mmk, are they partitioned? [03:05] vee_ how much do you know about partitioning? [03:05] when it comes to linux - 0 [03:05] you want me back in cups? [03:06] vee_ how about in windows? ie not linux? [03:06] ToddEDM2: no...we need to define the printer in samba first [03:06] ok [03:06] windows an d mac - yes [03:06] i want to backup /home/user is this correct use this command: tar -czf user_backup.tar.gz /home/user [03:06] danbhfive: win and mac yes [03:06] ToddEDM2: in swat you should see eight icons at the top...if not then you didn't log in as an administrator [03:06] vee_ how would you partition in those cases [03:06] user_ probably not, i dont think that works [03:07] ToddEDM2: there should be Home-globals-shares-printers-etc [03:07] ok i didnt , i see 4 [03:07] danbhfive, what is the correct one? [03:07] ToddEDM2: then close the page, open it again, and log in as an adminstrator [03:07] I have a folder that windows reads as hidden, is there any way i can change this using ubuntu? [03:08] vee_ i mean, im not sure if I know what you need, you could just format them both to ext3, set one to mount as / and the other to something like /media/other [03:08] danbhfive most of the available space would go to data, if I have two or more drives I drop my data from one HD to another [03:08] o i closed it, tried the other login/pass no go [03:08] whats the administrators login/pass???? [03:08] user_ why are you backing up /home? [03:08] blkthndr: why are you trying to do that? [03:08] man [03:08] any ubuntu laptops in Canada? [03:08] this final release of ubuntu is messed up [03:09] ToddEDM2: in ubuntu the admin is the first user you define...who was first when you installed on the desktop? [03:09] danbhfive, i want to backup /home/user , not /home [03:09] i dont get anything while the machine starts [03:09] its for my mp3 player [03:09] no loader or anything [03:09] danbhfive: system then two partitions (equal in size but way bigger than system) for data [03:09] danbhfive, i want to re-install my ubuntu [03:09] danbhfive, upgrade it to 7.10 [03:09] blkthndr: this is a foldaer that should not be hidden? [03:09] danbhfive, because right now i use 7.04 [03:09] hmm. can anyone suggest me what ubuntu version i should stick with. i have tried gutsy , feisty , on my desktop and they install by using safe graphics mode. However when i try to use edgy eft i can not boot into install. The system crashes and i hear a beep and screen goes black. (if any1 could shed some light on boot options to use with f6). The reason i am doing this is because my ati AGP card is not supported in fesity and gutsy. [03:09] yes it should not be hidden [03:09] thor, i did that... gave me only 4 icons [03:09] err.. did someone screw up on the release? [03:09] blkthndr: is it hidden in windows? [03:10] the loader is just dead [03:10] yes its hidden in windows, i dont have windows to change the status though [03:10] vee_ well, if you mount one drive as /, basically everything will go there [03:10] ToddEDM2: then open a terminal....type 'passwd root' and give a password for root...I always do that when I first install for just these reasons [03:10] danbhfive: I will be placing my Mac and Windows files on the data partitions as well [03:10] Hello. I'm attempting to install using a Xircom rbem56g cardbus ethernet adapter and network autoconfiguration will not assign it an IP. I know it is a functional card, I've used it before in other distros. ANy idea why it wouldn't work please? I really can't install without getting this working. :/ [03:10] ToddEDM2: then log in with the user id 'root' and the password you just defined [03:10] PsyDeViL: well.. if youre going to go with an older version have you considered dapper? its the long term support version [03:10] vee_ are you dual booting? or try booting? [03:11] ToddEDM2: I have about five hours of notes about things to tell you....we need to continue this at another time (or via email) [03:11] ToddEDM2: let me know when you are logged into swat as root [03:11] PsyDeViL: id suggest you maybe just ebay the ati card though and buy a dirt cheap nvidia :) [03:12] k [03:12] the problem is that because it is a windows hidden file, my mp3 player cannot read it. [03:12] user_ do you want to be able to restore the files? [03:12] danbhfive: I would like one drive with a good size partition for system and apps, plus a much bigger portion for M and W data backup, while the other drive I want to store just M and W data [03:12] ToddEDM2: you have eight icons now? [03:12] yup [03:13] ToddEDM2: the printers icon.... [03:13] k [03:13] danbhfive: i dont want to ever have a chance of messing up the system (ha) [03:13] ToddEDM2: check the drop down list for Choose Printer and see if one is defined [03:13] vee_ but are you dual booting? i didnt think you were, are you talking about when you actually setup the ftp? [03:13] ToddEDM2: is there anything besides 'printers'? [03:13] Anybody know how to configure an ad hoc connection in gutsy? [03:14] blkthndr: that dont make sense. Does your mp3 player work with Linux/Ubuntu? [03:14] i'm having a lot of trouble with this, i had hda/sda1 = windows, hda/sda2 = storage, and hda/sda5 = linux partition... i installed XP over the vista partition, but now grub doesn't load at all [03:14] danbhfive: at this point no, in the future i will purchase a separate drive for that [03:14] before i was using grub to dual boot [03:14] no just printers, and mine is listed [03:14] yes it works fine [03:14] user_ sudo rsync -aS /home//. //. [03:14] if i change the boot partition i can't get linux to load at all, and i can't get grub to set up right using a live cd [03:14] slvmchn: When you install XP, it overwrites the MBR [03:14] danbhfive: i really want this machine to be a server (another ha) [03:14] cry0k1n3t1c: i am aware of this [03:14] cry0k1n3t1c: how do i reset it [03:14] ToddEDM2: what do yo mean yours is listed? Is there a printer there in the list? If so ....highlight it and click Choose Printer [03:15] vee_ then dont bother with partitioning much, you want to use ALL the space for linux [03:15] slvchn: Did you try to reinstall GRUB from the live CD? === matthew_ is now known as person [03:15] ok i did that thor [03:15] i use rockbox firmware on my mp3 player, when i boot the mp3 players original firmware it makes the music folder hidden, rockbox cannot find the hidden music folder [03:15] blkthndr: and copying the folder is unacceptable? [03:15] cry0k1n3t1c: yes but it gave me problems [03:15] OK...the important ones.... [03:15] I could copy the folder but its a huge folder [03:15] ToddEDM2: path = /var/spool/samba [03:15] vee_ linux will be holding the files for other OS's, in fact, at this point, it doesnt matter [03:15] ToddEDM2: guest = ok [03:15] and the problem will create itself again in the future [03:15] ToddEDM2: printable=yes [03:15] blkthndr: I understand but it should be visible. [03:16] ToddEDM2: printer name (write that down!) [03:16] o crap [03:16] is there an admin? [03:16] ToddEDM2: browseable = yes [03:16] So, is it even possible to set up an Ad Hoc connection between 2 ubuntu computers? [03:16] any ideas y update manager cant fetch any repositories. eveythin comes back with a 404 error. I have a good network connection. [03:16] last time, i got banned from IRC for this [03:16] ToddEDM2: available=yes [03:16] danbhfive: ok, so should i click on each and partition the entire device [03:16] i think i may log off [03:16] ToddEDM2: that's it [03:16] ToddEDM2: what is the printer name? [03:16] can i change the printer name? [03:16] ToddEDM2: yup...if you want to [03:16] its visible to linux and ubuntu and a mac, rockbox does not see it becaues it is a windows hidden file. when i had windows i could just unhide it, i can't do this using ubuntu because its not hidden to it [03:16] cry0k1n3t1c: i found some forum posts that showed how to set grub back up, by looking for stage1 boot whatever, and then when i do setup hd(0,0) or whatever the command is it starts to work but then says Errorr 22 [03:16] psc_1200_series is what it is [03:17] ToddEDM2: make it whatever you like [03:17] vee_ yeah, just one big partition for now [03:17] ToddEDM2: then click Commit Changes at the top (near the drop down list) [03:17] cry0k1n3t1c: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [03:17] danbhfive: creating new partition tables for each right now [03:17] vee_ you should just get things up and running as close as you can to how you want [03:17] ok done [03:17] vee_ you can worry about more fancy partitioning later [03:18] ToddEDM2: now you should be able to define that printer in cups on the laptop [03:18] danbhfive kewl [03:18] ok [03:18] ToddEDM2: you do remember the printer name I hope [03:18] blkthndr: that's a predicament. [03:18] Why doesn't the ubuntu install cd come with ping?? It's really hard to try to diagnose network issues without it and/or traceroute.... [03:18] hello word [03:18] there are ways around it so i can access my music, but i just want to know if the problem can be fixed [03:18] hihi;] [03:19] sleep now [03:19] ; ] [03:19] now i add printers , in cups on the laptop [03:19] ? [03:19] people; ] [03:19] ToddEDM2: yup...you can add that printer in cups on the laptop [03:19] ToddEDM2: smb://ipaddress/name [03:20] anyone know how to put tibia on ubuntu [03:20] Also could someone point me towards a pcmcia ethernet card that's known to work with the installer? I'm using a xircom_cb one which fails. [03:20] blkthndr: maybe you can be more specific. it does sound like a hardware issue that is solvable. [03:20] thanks pike just downloading dapper now [03:20] will give it a shot [03:20] ToddEDM2: and use the same printer driver you are using in the desktop. If you don't remember it you can access cups on the desktop and look...just don't change it on the desktop as it is working [03:20] err.. wtf is wrong with the default live cd installation of ubuntu? [03:20] danbhfive ok both say under there sub menus: pri/log 500.1 GB FREE SPACE, im clcking FINISH partitioning and write changes to disk [03:20] i dont see the loading progress bar [03:20] just a blank black while ubuntu loads [03:21] its just that i downloaded edgy livecd and it wont install. - the reason i am going to old version is so i can use my gfx card. [03:21] but I'm at a loss as to why someone would hide a music folder. [03:21] hey I need to get into just the command prompt [03:21] Its not a hardware issue. I'm just trying to change the hidden status of a folder, the problem is its a windows hidden folder and not a linux hidden folder [03:21] Shadow147: just open a terminal [03:21] bloody useless channel.. [03:21] Hi all! Which download manager is the best in Ubuntu? [03:21] thor I need to stop gnome [03:22] Shadow147: or press Alt-Ctrl-F2 [03:22] blkthndr: there-in lies the problem [03:22] lets hope this works.. wifey is home now [03:22] Shadow147: A-C-F2 thru F6 [03:22] why some people suggest me to compress a folder with tar.gz (tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/www) insted using gzip /var/www so it return www.gz ?? [03:22] ToddEDM2: keep the faith...everything is set...if it doesn't work it is a missing checkmark or some such...a very minor thing [03:22] what is the benefit using .tar insted gz ? [03:22] didnt work ... i will try again later [03:23] I think .tar is just an archive, no compression. [03:23] ToddEDM2: truly! I can't imagine why. Sorry [03:23] .tar.gz is compressed... I think that's how it works. [03:23] is missing/broken gnome applets a common issue when dist-upgrading to gutsy? [03:23] ToddEDM2: I am looking at mine as we work on this...it is set up just like mine [03:23] . [03:23] I have a few .vcd's.. I know I looked up in the past of how to make these into iso's... I forget =\ anyone know? [03:23] Viper, so why not we just use .gz than .tar.gz ? [03:23] so there is no way I can change its hidden status without using windows? [03:23] ToddEDM2: and it works...sort of [03:23] blkthndr: perhaps linux would be able to read AMIGA floppy disks as well? Nope. aint gonna happen. [03:24] ToddEDM2: spnye@yahoo.com if you want to follow up on this and other stuff [03:24] user_ gz is just compression, for a single file, tar binds several files together [03:24] ToddEDM2: tell wifey you worked REAL hard [03:24] I have a few .vcd's.. I know I looked up in the past of how to make these into iso's... I forget =\ anyone know? [03:24] user_ i think you use them both to create an archive === monkey_ is now known as monTree [03:24] slightly different problem but none-the-less... it aint gonna happen. [03:24] user_ but you should use the command I have you for /home [03:24] danbhfive, so can not to gzip /var/www is that what you mean? [03:24] danbhfive, so i must tar it first [03:25] user_ i think thats the case [03:25] danbhfive, then compress it, example use gz [03:25] hi all! which download manager is best for Ubuntu? [03:25] danbhfive, ok thanks [03:25] user_ tar can gzip it for you, just add a z directive, i believe [03:25] qwerty: I use firefox's built-in one, or flashget... [03:25] Viper: does flashget support resume? [03:26] qwerty: yup, as long as the server does. [03:26] is missing/broken gnome applets a common issue when dist-upgrading to gutsy? [03:26] blkthndr: try googling it. [03:26] user_: tar -xzf /path/to/directory/to/compress [03:26] why hasnt everyone just switched to *bsd yet? [03:26] :P [03:26] any ideas y update manager cant fetch any repositories. eveything comes back with a 404 error. I have a good network connection. [03:26] yes.. thanks [03:26] tar -z tells the tar application to use a foreign compression app. [03:26] dude: huh? [03:26] Chronosphear, i have broken applets for a similar upgrade [03:27] Viper, x is for extract [03:27] Viper: thanks [03:27] some work, most don't? [03:27] oh... same diff... lol tar -cz then [03:27] Viper, i think it should tar czvf [03:27] i've tried googling with no help for a couple days, as well as trying the support forums and irc of rockbox [03:27] Viper, yes.. or the simple one is cz [03:27] dude: I can think of 12 reasons right now, and I could probably think of more. [03:27] I rarely find myself compressing files, decompressing is much more common for me... [03:27] Chronosphear did you use the update manager? or did you use the cli? [03:28] update manager and then the cli because update manager only did half tho job [03:28] the* [03:28] heh, that sucks [03:28] Has anyone experience with an add-on PCI SATA raid card in Ubuntu?> [03:28] danbhfive, yeah, i rebooted thinking it was sorted and logged into a bash prompt with no window manager [03:29] in the past, cli doesn't fully work, i don't think [03:29] yes Viper [03:29] 20 reasons not to switch to BSD: [03:29] you have to re-run the upgrade commands several times === CGI074 is now known as r3wt1nth3b0x [03:29] 1) you like Windows or linux. [03:29] danbhfive, i'll give that a go then [03:29] rwrandomnessb0x: Any luck, and if so, which make/model? [03:29] 2) you play games that were made for Windows. [03:30] 3) BSD is hard to install [03:30] danbhfive, ah nah, it's convinced there's nothing to do now [03:30] Viper, it was a adaptec i think. [03:30] Works great. [03:30] Chronosphear i can give you some suggestions, to check it [03:30] danbhfive, sure [03:30] sudo apt-get install -f [03:30] are the repos down? [03:30] does anyone know how to edit the hotkeys for compiz effects? [03:30] ztomic: there's been some progress in porting Wine to FreeBSD me thinks [03:31] ztomic: and really it depends on your OS taste [03:31] r3w: And you didn't have any issues with MDADM? [03:31] 4) Wine is pain in the arse [03:31] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [03:31] danbhfive, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:31] ztomic: ditto for Wine on Linux :P [03:31] hrmm [03:31] that is probably it [03:31] @ztomic: wine is about the best linux has for playing win32 games/apps :( [03:31] when i got the bash window and no wm i just installed metacity and gnome [03:31] carrot is not a spelling mistake [03:32] danbhfive ok both say under there sub menus: pri/log 500.1 GB FREE SPACE, im clcking FINISH partitioning and write changes to disk, now when I go to finish it says no /root found [03:32] No Viper... [03:32] does anyone know the hotkey for scale? [03:32] oh, meta package [03:32] 5) You work with Windows at work and don't care about BSD. [03:32] vee_ did you set one of the partitions to / ? [03:32] Viper why would you be using MDADM with hardware RAID? [03:32] no, its a directive actually, i think [03:32] hi [03:32] bsd is hard to install? [03:32] uhh [03:32] i think opera is great [03:33] I have a data disk that is in VCD format. How can I change this to an ISO format so I can burn it into a CD? [03:33] The following packages have unmet dependencies. firefox: Conflicts: libnss3 but 2:1.firefox2.0.0.10+1nobinonly-0ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages [03:33] None of the other sata cards' RAID has been detected by linux... [03:33] can't see it being that tho [03:33] 6) You have tried BSD in the past and you don't want to make that mistake again. But you tried OpenBSD just to be sure. [03:33] Viper brb [03:33] try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:34] nothing to do [03:34] danbhfive shoudl one be logical and one be primary? [03:34] are the gutsy repos down? [03:34] Ubuntu 7.10 causes my iMac G3 to restart very early in the boot process (3 seconds after yaboot). Passing "video=ofonly" kernel param didn't work, but the latest debian boots with no problem. Any ideas? [03:34] vee_ nah [03:34] vee_ thats only if you are breaking up the harddrives into several partitions [03:34] I have a data disk that is in VCD format. How can I change this to an ISO format so I can burn it into a CD? [03:34] danbhfive im clearing them again (thanx for baring with me) [03:35] if its was for microsft i wuld have used NERO burner [03:35] 7) you heard Unix is different than LInux and you wanted to try a REAL OS but you were not smart enough. [03:35] Can anybody help me, I am trying to use this computer as a hub to connect my other computers to the internet [03:35] okay Viper, what card are you using? [03:35] can K3B handle VCD's? [03:35] so amarok works as root but doesn't work u sing my normal account [03:35] what might cause this [03:35] Chronosphear how about sudo apt-get autoremove [03:35] permissions Impiety [03:35] hrm [03:35] danbhfive both say FREE SPACE under them, now what [03:35] all of the libs look good [03:35] permissionwise [03:36] r00t: I'm not sure off the top of my head, it was a cheapy pseude-raid controller... [03:36] vee_ wait, did you informat them? [03:36] Should Alsa automatically pickup Realtek onboard sound devices? [03:36] you mean autoclean? [03:36] autoremove [03:36] did nothing [03:36] danbhfive i clciked manual under the partitioning menu [03:36] 8) you heard that windows applications can run on it but when you tried to get help, none was available so you ditched it. === _vector_ is now known as _vector_afk [03:37] ok, i would use synaptic then, and resolve those broken dependencies [03:37] 9) never heard of it. [03:37] danbhfive then i hit with each drive selected [03:37] uninstall any package that doesnt have a valid source [03:37] Viper i need the model to find the correct module to load. [03:37] 10) it's great but how do I...? [03:37] vee_ are the drives formatted at this point? [03:37] danbhfive it then asked me whether or not to create new empty partition table [03:38] mp3melayu [03:38] how do i get a list of packages that don't have a valid source? [03:38] 11) I work in Windows. [03:38] danbhfive i said yes to both [03:38] If i get the error "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with direct draw" Whwat should I be looking at? [03:38] danbhfive dioes that mena they are formatted? [03:38] ztomic: do you like spamming? [03:38] r00t: One sec, I'll get the model# [03:38] vee_ i dont know [03:38] vee_ its graphical isnt it? if it says "free space" then its not formated [03:38] ok Viper [03:39] kitche: proving a point... 12) I like to prove my point. [03:39] Chronosphear look under Installed (local or obsolete) [03:39] get rid of those, unless its something that you personally put there [03:39] danbhfive, ah, thanks [03:39] is it even possible to connect two computers in ubuntu via ad hoc? [03:39] r00t: Syba SD-SATA-4P PCI Sata Controller [03:40] I do apt-get update and every repo is said to be not available, giving a 404 error, but I can ping the ip address that apt-get is trying to pull from. whats wrong? [03:40] hey [03:40] WorkingOnWise, 404 is file not found [03:40] vee_ you lost me at some point [03:40] Hi! when I try to install kdm-kde4, I got this message: "E: kdm-kde4: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1", whats wrong and how do I solve it [03:40] WorkingOnWise, try a different repo [03:40] danbhfive, no, I'm still here. [03:40] vee_ you should format the drive, AND set the mount point [03:40] danbhfive if I select a dirve then hit I see a menu for Create a new Partition, Auto part. the free space, or Show Cylinder/head/Sector Info [03:40] danbhfive does that sound familiar? [03:41] i'm having a bit of trouble with my sata drive. it decides to shut-off for no reason after i do high amounts of i/o (aka bittorrent) on the drive [03:41] is it all freespace right now? [03:41] yes [03:41] r00t, I don't think you'll have any luck finding out why I didn't have any luck with the card, posts on newegg say it doesn't like Ubuntu... [03:41] both drives [03:41] vee_ ok, yes, click create a new drive button, where ever that is [03:41] Chronosphear: i get that error for every repo..ann 112 of them [03:41] vee_ then select ext3, and then look for a place to set the mount point [03:42] vee_ set the mount point to / [03:42] WorkingOnWise, are you set to use a proxy? [03:42] 13) I got my point across and now I'de like to list 20 reasons that DOS is better than Windows. [03:42] danbhfive ok but first i have to select logical or primary to get to that menu [03:42] danbhfive which one? [03:42] primary [03:42] I'm getting a CPU overload and big networking problems.

[03:50] danbhfive what should I set the second drive to logical or primary? then i can get to the menu to set the other options [03:50] or just leave it as free space [03:50] Chronospear well, I dont know about the applets, but you still dont yet have a full ubuntu install [03:50] Viper http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=32247698 === me is now known as root_bar [03:50] vee_ do it the same as the first, with a different mount point [03:50] danbhfive, when i do apt-get autoremove it says there is nothing to uninstall BUT when i got to install libnss it says: [03:50] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [03:50] planner ekiga libgsf-gnome-1-114 libpth20 libgoffice-0-common abiword-gnome dia-libs gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly rhythmbox abiword-common [03:50] seahorse gnumeric-common gnome-themes-extras fast-user-switch-applet dia-gnome gnome-backgrounds libgoffice-0-4 libopal-2.2 libdvdread3 [03:50] libsidplay1 dia-common gnumeric libgpgme11 inkscape libmpeg2-4 liba52-0.7.4 [03:51] Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

[04:23] i just bought it* [04:23] vee_: you need some kind of dns server somewhere, when you setup your dns record it needs to know a server somwhere that can resolve you [04:24] hello all [04:24] I need help with something.. [04:24] Viper, yes its pluged in [04:24] my bios detected it [04:24] vee_ it could be on the same server as your web server, you could get someone to host it for you, it does not matter [04:24] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/150930 [04:24] that bug is a pita [04:25] Byro: Try Gnome Partition Editor. That's a very useful utility. [04:25] I formatted my laptop...and before the format Xine with xv would use abour 4 - 7% processor now it uses 35% any ideas?

I am 1:45 away from torrenting it now.

[04:26] dns53 thanx [04:26] Printing is too small, what can i do to fix it? [04:27] I was thinking that perhaps libdvdcss is using lots of power...does that happen? [04:27] +? [I need to learn to use punctuation and to enunciate my words!] [04:27] webpirate: it could happen [04:27] Export the video from Kino in mpeg2 format [04:27] webpirate, dvdcss is not supposed to affect your non-dvd playback [04:27] how do i convert a .dv file to .mpeg [04:27] libdvdcss can be written in 6 lines, it does not do a lot of processing [04:27] benhd2008, kino is capable of exporting to mpeg2 [04:28] benhd2008, or u can use ffmpeg [04:28] I will try a non encrypted dvd....brb [04:28] benhd2008, or mencoder [04:28] well yeah [04:28] can that be uploaded to youtube [04:28] benhd2008, or dozen of other tools [04:28] usser yea, my Netgear has it [04:28] Byro1: try gnome partition manager.

[04:30] webpirate: For a sempron.. I wouldn't expect very much performance.... it may take nearly the whole processor just to play a DVD. [04:30] Non encrpyted DVD uses Still 35% cpu [04:31] Any xorg tips I can use to lower processor usage? [04:31] webpirate [04:31] is there any emacs-cvs ubuntu repos? [04:31] yup [04:31] scguy318: I used dd from the original disk to a partition on another disk. The new disk had another version of Ubuntu installed on another partition, and I can't make it boot copied installation. [04:31] Printing is too small, what can i do to fix it? [04:32] webpirate: do you have the nvidia binary drivers installed, they have some accelerated video rendering extentions [04:32] err.. next thing.. how come gnome/ubuntu doesnt have the backgrounds and stuff (retrieving on the fly) like how kubuntu/kde has? [04:32] pg: gparted keeps crashing and throws "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [04:32] Yes....Restricted drivers are installed... [04:32] webpirate: or perhaps a different CPU... maybe Athlon?... [04:32] I have 1.6 ghz laptop with nvidia 420go [04:32] Byro1: try parted, it's a command line tool. [04:33] I used to get 4 - 7% on this laptop with xine...now after format its 35% [04:33] video plays good..just lots of processor usage [04:33] can I redefine this, ahem, f***ing Fn key to be Mod4? [04:33] hey does anyone know a good website to find broadcom drivers? [04:34] webpirate: you changed anything in between? like kubuntu-> ubuntu or the other way around? [04:34] Rian-Davide...try different internet providers...sometimes that have the drivers [04:34] No same basic setup [04:34] for linux? [04:34] like for the ndiswrapper? [04:34] Rian-Davide: is it a wireless driver? [04:34] would KDE use more Processer than gnome for DVD? [04:34] webpirate, did u try to switch around video outputs [04:34] where is /etc/init.d/iptables? what's the substitute? [04:35] webpirate, to like openGL or x11 [04:35] yes.....xv gives best results [04:35] * ogrep would spank the *engineer* who designs these stupid laptop keyboard. [04:35] webpirate, or xv [04:35] any one any idea? [04:35] openGl uses 100% [04:35] webpirate: the sempron is just a lower-end processor. 1.6GHz would be equilivant to a P4 600MHz in performance.... [04:35] jake-the-dummy-o google quicktables [04:35] untrue. [04:35] semprons measure up well against p4's. [04:35] I think ipod nano (3rd gen) looks interesting, but wonder how it works in ubuntu? must I use itunes, does the players flashdisk shows up like a usb-dongle? [04:36] Why do these people think they should relocate keys on a kb randomly?! [04:36] WHAT...are you crazy....600mhz..... [04:36] jake-the-dummy-o firestarter guarddog shorewall and friends. [04:36] mEck0, ipod dont need itunes to work [04:36] They measure up well against a celeron...because those are each company's lowbie CPU's. [04:36] Semprons just have less ramon board.. [04:36] They were made for budget machines. [04:36] soldats, ok good [04:36] yes its a wireless driver [04:36] mEck0, you can use rythmbox, amarok or other to do ipod stuff [04:37] Im trying to use ndiswrapper [04:37] web: No, run a 1.6GHz sempron against a 1.2GHz Athlon XP, and the sempron will be blown away. [04:37] jake-the-dummy-o every thing i've named are helper applications to help you setup iptables [04:37] GKpod [04:37] soldats, aha thats nice :) [04:37] mEck0, good luck [04:37] Hi room, how can i configure ubuntu to recognize my pda when trying to hotsync via usb?

[05:25] kex: you can run pretty much every kde app in gnome, although, amarok was a bit buggy for me [05:25] brandon>> options tab [05:25] what i need to write java application under ubuntu ? [05:25] kex: and used more resources than i cared for, so now i use exaile. [05:25] i dont have an options tab [05:26] mofo: I dont think they are interchangeable [05:26] DivideZer: I hear you can get eclipse for linux [05:26] Hello, can anyone tell me how to enter ascii characters in ubuntu? like the ALT+0174 in windows returns the (R) sign. It's not letting me here in ubuntu. [05:26] corruptionflulz, ok, ill try amarok or exaile, but does exaile have support for last.fm? [05:26] brandon>> how about a switches tab [05:26] adamonline45 , and savve as java run time application the code ? [05:26] ok i got it now [05:26] Adam_, yes you can adamonline45 its in the repos [05:27] ridge-meister, python is very readable and looks very nice so i would suggest staying with it till you have a full grasp on it. then when you start learning other languages the syntax will be very different but if you have a very very good grasp on it you will pick it up quickly. learning to program takes a lot of motivation so if you have what it takes then you will improve rapidly [05:27] had to enable some of the thing in prefs [05:27] the bash people told me to ask you guys a question, it has to do w/ repositories, is anyone interested in helping me out? [05:27] oops I mean adamonline45 [05:27] really? but why would they not be? same hardware, same setup [05:27] soldats i'm not sure what you mean by "very comfortable". i have a very basic grasp of object oriented principles, database, filewriting [05:27] !ask | erat123 [05:27] brandon>>ok....so your sound is working now? [05:27] erat123: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:27] DivideZer: I'm not sure, I'm in the developer circle so I heard about it; but I'm just a C++ guy so far... [05:27] no [05:27] hmm.. [05:27] soldats: my problem isn't the motivation, but knowing what to work on next. [05:27] kex: i believe exaile has last.fm support.. [05:27] aa ok [05:27] ok i got it working now [05:28] excoder, I think you can do \174 in certain places [05:28] ubotu: lol, thanks. ubuntu allows you to find the best server in the software sources, is there a way to do this same thing in bash on my ubuntu server? [05:28] i had to turn off an options in stiwches [05:28] brandon>> sweet...what was it [05:28] corruptionoflulz soldats, ok thanks ^^ [05:28] ridge-meister, do you mean what kind of program you write [05:28] thx web [05:28] erat123: protip: ubotu is a bot. [05:28] brandon>> was it digital option? [05:28] i own you a ton man [05:28] yea [05:28] brandon>> cool...glad I would help [05:28] corruptionoflulz: yeah, just figured out that one :-) [05:28] my ears hurt tho [05:28] DivideZer: Paddy_EIRE confirms its available. It's worth a shot I suppose... What I heard about it, and why I recommend it blindly, is that it works nearly identically across platforms [05:28] corruptionoflulz, protip: ask ubotu about love or hate or maybe loli [05:29] i had headphones in with max voluume [05:29] ouch [05:29] corruptionoflulz: do you have any ideas for my question? [05:29] he he he [05:29] that will learn ya [05:29] slayer in full blast is painfull [05:29] adamonline45, yeah its cross-platform.. [05:29] erat123: i never saw you ask one [05:29] dsnyders: it's not working anywhere.. [05:29] ubuntu allows you to find the best server in the software sources, is there a way to do this same thing in bash on my ubuntu server? [05:29] adamonline45: never really thought of os x to be resource hungry [05:29] ok time to install vent [05:29] so i can raid again [05:29] soldats: yes, that's why i am looking for "programming exercises". something that will force me to become intimate with the language. otherwise i'm just going to read about it. and of course we know that doesn't accomplish much [05:30] Assid: I'm into music production too 8) [05:30] ridge-meister, write a calculator with error handling [05:30] * corruptionoflulz knows nothing about ubuntu server [05:30] ridge-meister, with a gui too [05:30] excoder, I just tried it here. No dice. Not unexpected, since it came from my dim memories of long ago. I am googling though. [05:30] ridge-meister: search for source code and work with it, save you fav routines, merge them and make your own apps. [05:31] you know what I figured out the other day...just incase anyone does not know this...if you log into ssh with -X option you can run X programs on your computer but the input comes from the remote computer [05:31] Has anyone used madwifi on a gen-2 macbook?

I have also been looking for exercises myself but I found this and think its great to read through http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ [05:32] webpirate, old news is old [05:32] soldats: ridge-meister and give that script to me, because i hate the gnome wallpaper manager thing [05:32] I know...but I just figured it out so I thought I would share it [05:32] soldats: now, wouldn't writing a script to change my wallpaper each day also require me to have some knowledge of BASH :) [05:32] corruptionoflulz: lol :D [05:32] someone might have learned something......new people here everyday [05:32] corruptionoflulz, yea i kinda wanted it as well cause im too lazy to do it [05:33] soldats: desktop drapes works alright, but you have to put everything in the gnome wallpaper manager [05:33] ridge-meister, yes but it would still be simple [05:33] adamonline45: still mate, i always thought it had good system resource management [05:33] soldats: and when you have 1gb of wallpapers, it's crap. [05:33] corruptionoflulz, yea i figured i got lots a dem [05:33] Paddy_EIRE: that's a nice book, but not quite what i'm looking for.....

[05:36] ubuntu is free [05:37] cedega is just software that runs on linux, not part of the ubuntu project [05:37] Assid: DO you see my replies? It says I need to register or something. [05:37] ok, I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, restarted x, and it does the same thing - totally ignores the config. I always wind up back with the same default settings. is it the new gutsy autoconfig "helper"? how the fsck do I turn it off, how do I just make this look at my xorg.conf file [05:37] JJtech, It's free as in liberty, not necessarily free as in beer [05:37] and wine (which cedega is built off of) does work for most games, just have to look at the appdb on wine's website to see if it runs well without cedega [05:37] JJtech, no its not free.. but hey its only 15 quid [05:37] mofo, i wonder why it didnt change [05:38] dsnyders, you know where I can get free BEER!!!

[05:49] thats strange id suggest you take a visit to freenode.net [05:49] Jack_Sparrow, occasionally run wine [05:49] it has help for that sort of thing [05:49] Jack_Sparrow, although dual-booting is better when it comes to gaming [05:49] Paddy_EIRE: I may ask you to test a program in a week or two... It will run in wine or windows... [05:49] sure :) [05:50] Paddy_EIRE: Will let you know when I get it to beta.. It isnt anything special, but should let you fix or tweak ubuntu system files from Windows or Wine. full gui [05:51] Jack_Sparrow, wow.. very nice :) [05:51] But if it's your program you can compile it in linux as well.. though it takes winelib if you must use windows API [05:51] Paddy_EIRE: Nothing special.. but will have you check it out for me. [05:51] Jack_Sparrow, anytime... :D [05:51] Jack_Sparrow: is it your own application? [05:51] YEs [05:52] lockd: but it is in VB6 [05:52] Jack_Sparrow: oh, so "API" isn't really a question [05:52] lockd: I know realbasic has a version that will cross compile, but is not free [05:52] i don't know what happen..but my BOX restarted during WINE download.. [05:52] btw guys how come opera cant load websites , it says 404 not found... [05:53] <_6StringKng_> url correct? [05:53] <_6StringKng_> opera works fine for me [05:53] Paddy_EIRE: PC restarted.. [05:53] ah.. [05:53] but if it was for tweaking system files don't know why you didn't just use a Kommander or something [05:53] JJtech: Odd, was it coming from our repo or from Wine [05:53] it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt [05:53] HI all! My renumbering file problem is solved. I just found the bulk file rename tool on the Applications->Accessories menu. Handy tool. [05:53] and why the rating of opera is soo bad in linux :( [05:53] Jack_Sparrow: i think from wine [05:54] lockd: I wanted to get to them from windows environ... to get back into Ubuntu [05:54] tntCry, because firfox already comes pre-installed :P [05:54] JJtech: just get it from our repos... less hassle [05:54] Jack_Sparrow: will you walk me through?? [05:54] dsnyders, thats good [05:54] i recommend opera because of the cool side bar [05:54] and speeddial and many other things .. [05:54] JJtech: go to synaptic... select wine and install [05:54] JJtech, just let us know where you are at :) [05:55] <_6StringKng_> only reason I like opera is for the speed dial [05:55] Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i'll do that sir.. [05:55] opera is far superior [05:55] <_6StringKng_> otherwise I use FF [05:55] np [05:55] Paddy_EIRE: ok [05:55] tntCry: speed dial really isn't that great, i just opened up a text editor and made my own link list in html in like 1 minute. [05:55] Jack_Sparrow: oh, might be interesting how you did that [05:55] hi [05:55] exit [05:55] lockd: see me in about two weeks.. [05:55] is there a way to restart x without a backspace key?

[05:57] JJtech: go to cli type wine notepad.exe [05:57] corruptionoflulz, and 12% are the people who are having trouble with all kinds of systems [05:57] Jack_Sparrow: I could care less about program now.. I just want to see the algorithm (i.e. what to copy over manually) [05:57] Jack_Sparrow: kk [05:58] Jack_Sparrow: wait.. hehe, what is " CLI ?? [05:58] 44% of linux lovers and satisfied life style. the other 44% unsatisfied because of the childhood days they havent did what you did.. [05:58] hope you get it now..

I tried then using the "screens and displays" wizard, and that just screwed everything up again. but running dpkg-reconf xserver-conf doesn't let me tell it about a second monitor, does it? [05:58] Jack_Sparrow: i see.. [05:59] tntCry: i hate to break it to you, but opening a text editor (or a web design program) and making an html file with a list of links is really pretty straight forward. [05:59] <_6StringKng_> you called terminal a dos prompt, lol [05:59] mofo, not sure about that have you searched through the furums [05:59] mofo, im very sorry but im unsure of using 2 monitors [05:59] yep [05:59] Jack_Sparrow: uhhmm... notepad windows pop-up.. .... .... [05:59] have looked, can't find it [06:00] lockd: here are a couple lines of a bash script.. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46407/ [06:00] ok so if there is no way to get my external monitor with gutsy, I'm going to have to downgrade. I looked for a tutorial - can someone point me to a definitive guide for downgrading from gutsy to feisty? I'm losing work hours here and just don't have time to sort thruogh this x nonsense [06:00] JJtech: what did you expect? [06:01] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. Yay, no vb! [06:01] mofo: want downgrade instructions just install feisty anew [06:01] is there any command that can help me to add/del ip address with terminal? [06:01] Jack_Sparrow: as expected.. window of notepad appears.. ^_^ [06:01] can't install it anew - I have tons of things installed and configured specifically - that would set me back days, getting my dev env set up again [06:01] lockd: I thought you would prefer that [06:02] is there any command in ubuntu that can help me to add/del ip address with the help of terminal? [06:02] I need to be where I was two hours ago - either with a working gutsy w/ external monitor, or my old feisty install [06:02] ankur, what do you mean add/delete ip address? [06:02] yes [06:02] add/deleat [06:02] Jack_Sparrow: Oh.. that's not what I expected [06:02] Jack_Sparrow: that backs up some important stuff though [06:03] yes it does.. right to your desktop [06:03] ankur, 'WHAT' do you mean by add/delete. :) [06:03] ankur, add them where? [06:03] lockd: with specific file names [06:03] Jack_Sparrow: does the fdisk allow you to reconstruct if you destroy the table by accident? [06:04] like ifcfg command [06:04] anyone? [06:04] irc://irc.xdccnet.com/bitchwarez [06:04] Jack_Sparrow: i've done that way too many times [06:04] ankur, you configure your network cards with the ifconfig command if thats what you are refering to.

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:09] TheShadowZero: i had the same problem, and deleted log files, it'll start alright until you do an unclean shutdown [06:09] * JJtech be right back.. === JJtech is now known as Got [06:09] k [06:09] okay [06:10] ankur, start with 'man ifconfig' and go from there. [06:11] corruptionoflulz, should i just rm -rf everything in the logs folder? [06:11] TheShadowZero: also, i've been using deluge for torrents, and it's been alright (i didn't like it much [06:11] TheShadowZero: ermm, just delete the logs that it looks like it's created [06:11] btw, nice nick. fox is stupid [06:11] Hey guys, this might be a little off topic but.... im trying to completly copy a hard drive (with a Vista OS install on it) to an external hard disk using NTFS file system as well [06:11] hehe [06:12] HateX: this should be easily done using gparted off the live cd. [06:12] corruptionoflulz, nope, didnt help [06:12] but im running into a lot of errors saying files are locked, i get the same problems when using an XP OS to copy a vista OS [06:12] is it possible to autologin on ubuntu server 7.10? [06:12] HateX: there are several clone programs.. look into the dd command or hirenscd or ultimate boot cd [06:12] is there a tool that runs well on Ubuntu allowing me to do this [06:12] !backup [06:12] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [06:13] HateX: this should be easily done using gparted (system -> admin partition manager) off the live cd. [06:13] !clone [06:13] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [06:13] Hello all. I have a question. But first I have to say that I'm using ubuntu on a macbook pro using livecd. That's pretty c ool [06:13] heh heh should have just googled my laptop first [06:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3852561 [06:13] My question is I'm having problem installing ubuntu on a dell desktop. [06:13] ok thanx i'll try it corruptionoflulz and jack__Sarrow [06:13] TheShadowZero, Azureus went south on me too. probably just that i'm on 64 bit and java isn't working right... anyway, i went uTorrent through wine. lots and lots of decent bittorrent options [06:13] It get's to the part that plays the music and the monitor doesn't show anything [06:14] thats all well and good but alternative solutions are not really what i want [06:14] It's like it's not getting a signal [06:14] TheShadowZero: well, if the log files didn't fix it, i dunno, like i said, i couldn't get azureus to work even close to stable [06:14] greenman: what model of Dell [06:14] i see [06:14] worked fine before i upgraded [06:14] TheShadowZero: although, if you want the most stable one, use rtorrent [06:14] s for example suppose my ip is 192.168.1.1 and i want to change it to 192.168.1.5 with the help of command [06:14] Jack_Sparrow: Not sure offhand, I know it's not horribly old. It plays Halflife 2 and such. [06:14] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [06:15] greenman: at the start install menu.. try F6 then noapic , also burning slow helps, or use the alternate-text installer [06:15] noapic, what does that do? [06:15] Ktorrent seems like the most useful torrent app [06:15] ankur: setup a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces? [06:15] greenman: I ask as I have a few around, c610 and c640 d600 === Krow1 is now known as Psy-Krow [06:15] Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean by burning slow? [06:16] greenman: when you burn the *.iso.. burn at slowest speed possible [06:16] greenman: The dell should say on the bottom what model it is [06:16] Ah. I've never messed with speeds on the MBP, I might try that if noapic doesn't work. [06:16] Does anyone know how to update my Synaptic Manager list? [06:16] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I'm not there anymore, it's a friends computer. [06:17] joycetick: no i need to change ip address with the help of terminal .Is there an command in ubuntu? [06:17] housekeeping tonight [06:17] ifconfig [06:17] hey corruptionoflulz , buy using gparted i'd be copying the whole partition right?, In doing this i would need to wipe my usb disk before copying the vista partition over to it right? [06:17] ankur : man ifconfig [06:17] Jack_Sparrow: I want to say it's an optiplex [06:17] greenman: try those suggestions... so not a lappy... [06:17] HateX: you could resize whatever partition you have on your usb disk first. [06:17] i read it but not get any option in man ifconfig [06:17] HateX: then copy that partition into the empty space. [06:17] greenman: I also have a gx240 optiplx.. use F6 and noapic [06:17] Jack_Sparrow: Nah, desktop. :) [06:18] maybe 260 [06:18] How can I update the list in Synaptic Manager? [06:18] 478 socket p4 [06:18] mihai_: there is a refresh button [06:18] ! wifi [06:18] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:18] Jack_Sparrow: I'll try noapic and I'll also Burn a copy of the text installer if I have to. [06:18] mihai_: upper left, "reload" [06:18] mihai_: or sudo apt-get update [06:18] greenman: At least you know it will work with the onboard video or the nvidia plug in as well [06:18] The main thing I need is to fix the grub menu, it's trying to load an external hard drive so it gives error 21. [06:19] corruptionoflulz, OK, and once i do that what im planning on doing is upgrading the vista install to a professional version. once that is complete im going to bring back the file from the old vista install to the new. So im going about this right way correct? [06:19] corruptionoflulz: A lot of programs are still not listed after doing that [06:19] ankur : you can edit the files in /etc/network by hand and then /etc/init.d/netword restrat [06:19] restart [06:19] I figured I could use ubuntu livecd to move data around and then just install ubuntu on the main disk [06:19] mihai_: then the problem lies not with the updating. [06:19] HateX: sorry, i don't really follow exactly what you want to do. [06:19] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, well I think the MBP uses ATI. [06:20] corruptionoflulz: Don't I have to set it for the universe or something like that? [06:20] oh i need not do it manually [06:20] i need to do by command [06:20] corruptionofluz: I remember Kubuntu's Adept Manager having way more programs listed for download [06:21] mihai_: if those are the programs you wish to access, then yes [06:21] greenman: I thought onboard was intel.. but either way optiplex did work with the option.. You can create a spare partition for data then install to unallocated space. [06:21] In where does one place the init-script in Ubuntu? [06:21] mihai_: an easy way to do this is system -> admin -> software sources [06:21] ankur: you can edit in command, nano /etc/... [06:21] I am an Arch Linux user assisting an Ubuntu user, therefore I do not know where to let him place the init script.

I want to copy everything on the drive before i do my fresh install. This seems like that sane thing to do right? copying the entire partition and all?

[06:23] I'm assuming he [06:23] has space [06:23] I'll probab [06:23] HateX: if you have documents and stuff, it'd be easy to just copy those instead, but the safest way is back up the entire partition, yes. [06:23] Jack_Sparrow, first i had sun-java6-sdk installed and then i installed eclipse [06:23] ly have to help him [06:23] corruptionoflulz, i tried connecting the vista hardrive as an additional hardrive to an XP machine and copying all the files over after i took ownership of them but i still was getting many errors like "access dennide" [06:23] deefzi: from our repo or from off the web [06:23] HateX: for a minute i thought you were talking about trying to integrate the old partition back into the upgraded one [06:23] Jack_Sparrow, repo [06:24] deefzi: k.. just checking [06:24] how to delete history in only current shell ?

[06:26] corruptionoflulz, with regard to XP OS's i was always able to connect the hardrive to another XP machine, take ownership of all the files, then copy all the files to a folder on a different disk. But with vista im running into some rights issues. since this is not my data and im doing if for someone else i do not want to take the chance on not copying something.

[06:26] goodmorning ... Crossover or Wine to play wow on linux? [06:27] HateX: fair enough, i have pretty much no experience with vista yet, so i'd take it the safe way too. [06:27] corruptionoflulz, im running ubuntu gutsy gibbon so i should be able to use the gparted here [06:27] girly2night: wine, crossover doesn't add anything you need, and it costs [06:27] girly:you should check the wine apps database [06:27] !wine [06:27] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

I assume it is a hardware modem. [06:28] HateX: yes, gparted seems like it should take care of all of your needs. (i think i may have read somewhere that it's safer to run gparted from livecd, but i don't really recall on that one at all, and if you are accessing drives that your linux install isn't on, it should be fine.) [06:28] no1 knows?? [06:28] hey guys - i keep on having my ubuntu freeze randomly on me - the mouse cursor still moves and its a fresh install [06:29] gladier2: is compiz on? [06:29] deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS [06:29] cool corruptionoflulz , thanx for the help [06:29] np [06:29] tarheelcoxn: it was - since been disabled and still freezing [06:29] m...anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? and how to solve it?

[06:31] ramza3: WOW :P [06:31] anyone has used the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft guide to install wow? cause i really just started with linux... dont have too much experience with it. [06:31] gladier2: check ~/.xsession-errors as well [06:31] gladier2: Hmm, I have that one, ok besides WOW [06:31] gladier2: I smell bad capacitors, maybe? [06:31] ramza3: if you want a cool fps... look at sauerbraten.. play online too [06:31] Jack_Sparrow, i remember u, i was called s3a or s2a b4 basically i need to no wat the port is called so i can make it usb so gnome-ppp detects it thru the usb port [06:31] probably ... [06:31] will it be easy or managable for me? [06:32] anyone familiar with mounting freebsd filesystems from the ubuntu livecd? [06:32] my friend is having trouble accessing the command: alsaconf in ubuntu, he is set as root he keeps getting this msg: bash: alsaconf: command not found [06:32] girly2nite:I guess not a lot of people here tried the guide...cuz WOW costs money. [06:32] why? [06:32] deniz_: you are running usb usr modem? [06:32] whats an easy sure-fire way of securing ssh logins, I have already moved the port to an arbitray # vs. 22 [06:32] tarheelcoxn: you mean PSU?? [06:32] psu? penn state? [06:33] LifeNomad: power supply unit [06:33] Jack_Sparrow, no, i am not, but i want to get an adapter to make it usb bcuz apparently my laptops port for the modem is defective [06:33] girly2night: wow has worked for me with no setup ever since wine 9.28, so it should be pretty easy esp if you have a windows install to copy from [06:33] gladier2: could be that, too [06:33] gladier2: If it smells warm... check fans and psu and the thermal grease between cpu and heat sink [06:33] another question... does ubuntu use ~/.xinitrc file?

[06:33] any thoughts on securing ssh? [06:33] btw, updating java fixed broken azureus [06:33] LifeNomad: it is [06:33] kristjans: but gdm (the default display manage on default ubuntu) does not [06:34] thank you kelsin, that what i was aiming for. [06:34] !sound | Cyntek [06:34] deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS [06:34] gdm uses menu.lst [06:34] Cyntek: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:35] Jack_Sparrow, i tried detecting it with gnome-ppp thru each ttys? [06:35] deniz_: cant lnow for sure unless you have it plugged in. [06:35] Nematocyst, nope [06:35] 32bit [06:35] updated from jdk update 1 to update 3 [06:35] anybody here know where to get the first release of the ubuntu liveCD for Hardy Heron? [06:35] deniz_: if usb use lsusb or lspci etc [06:35] so kelsin what u suggest is just to copy the wow folder from my windows to linux? [06:36] Jack_Sparrow, its not usb but i want to make it... [06:36] girly2night: into the right place, which is something like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ or something like that yeah [06:36] Anyone knows how to get FlashMX 2004 to work in WINE? [06:36] Jack_Sparrow, u or sum1 else had told me that b4 [06:36] deniz_: better off not trying to use a usb adapter for serial port [06:36] girly2night: wow uses NO registry entries and no fancy anything outside of it's folder [06:37] qinjuehang: check the appdb at winehq, I don't think people have had much luck with any of the flashes [06:37] qinjuehang, hmm i wish i knew how ive wanted that for a while [06:37] also does anybody here have extensive xperience with running ubuntu on the firt gen macbookpro and utilizing two displays -- specifically setting my macbookpro to make my 24" dell widescreen the standard rather than the secondary? [06:37] Jack_Sparrow, ya but everything seems to point to the fact that my laptops port is defective since it worked on the port of this ~900 mhz old computer [06:38] deniz_: First choice is.... Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS verify serial port enabled in bios [06:38] goodnight people... [06:38] nite captin [06:38] Jack_Sparrow, well clearly its pointless now but ill come back later since i c u alot [06:38] what's the command to reconfigure xorg?

KToon and Synfig are promision though :-( [06:41] Jack_Sparrow, Thank yuo just wanted to know if something like acdsee picases wa sin repos :) [06:41] DivideZer: there are some programming libraries to create swfs, but nothing like flash [06:41] :((((((((((((((((( [06:41] how do i get the mail command to work? i'm trying to send out some emails using scripts, but they just vanish [06:41] DivideZer: i dont do graphics work so i cant help [06:41] DivideZer: you may be able to use it in WINE [06:41] i'm not sure if i'm getting spam filtered or if it's just not sending in the first place [06:42] Divide, OpenLaszlo will work too [06:42] yes i will try wine [06:42] Amaranth: CS3 doesnt work in wine yet, however CS2 does [06:42] RyanT5001: if you have exim installed (which is default I think) check /var/log/exim4/mainlog [06:42] Paddy_EIRE: im back..

[06:48] hello [06:49] (I saw) [06:49] !internet [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:49] !the internet [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about the internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:49] kelsin, cyzie: sorry, i was retarded; i was accidentally in the wrong ssh session; although mail is equally broken, there is some log in /var/log/exim4/ [06:49] !porn [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about porn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:49] meh was worth a shot :P [06:49] :)) [06:49] i need help with dhcp3-server, i have it installed and configured but i can't start it [06:49] ...wow? [06:50] kelsin: ** ryant5000@gmail.com R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported [06:50] !FlashMX 2004 [06:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about flashmx 2004 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:50] ... [06:50] RyanT5001, ok, next time be careful of what u doing, u may think shut down box A then Box B [06:50] RyanT5001: cool one sec [06:50] RyanT5001: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and select "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" [06:50] bah, putting a real email in here was probably a bad idea, given spam spidering these logs [06:51] guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? [06:51] hi [06:51] qinjuehang, the appdb for flashmx 2004 isn't encouraging. see: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2294&iTestingId=4369 [06:51] bgates@microsoft.com ? :) [06:51] !wifi [06:51] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:51] RyanT5001: and then go through the rest of the config, there is a lto of explanation in the dpkg program and google for the rest cause I don't know what would be perfect for you [06:51] anyone know an app for optimise size picture ? [06:51] guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? [06:51] there is a thing like that in photoshop [06:51] Saelynh gimp [06:51] but gimp does not do that [06:51] :( [06:52] RyanT5001: but then exim should be setup to deliver to whatever smtp server you need it to, or if you want to fully send email from your computer you should select the first option and configure it from there :) but at that point def should start looking at other tutorials on setting up exim for ubuntu [06:52] Saelynh yes it does [06:52] kelsin: ah, ok, thanks [06:52] Saelynh ok wait [06:52] dolphin_noel: where ? [06:52] kelsin: yeah, now that i know exim is the key, i should be able to find tutorials; thanks a ton [06:52] RyanT5001: yep, by default it doesn't send email out :) [06:52] guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it?? [06:52] Hi just put an ubuntu cd into qemu and my world went grey. [06:53] I try to set my picture in indexed colors, this kind of thing, but my image is still to heavy [06:53] I had to do a hard reboot to get out. [06:53] Any idea why that might have happened. [06:53] JJtech: right click on top panel and select "New Panel" [06:53] Saelynh open the image and the go to (image) and the click in (scale image) [06:53] mohkohn: Did you try VirtualBox? Maybe something happened to your xorg [06:54] I dont want to resize it :o [06:54] JJtech: thanks.. i see it now.. ^_^ [06:54] is virtual box in etch? [06:54] kelsin: thanks [06:54] Saelynh so what you try to do? [06:55] once again, a question. should "#!/bin/sh" in a script be replaced with "#!/usr/bin/env bash" for ubuntu? [06:55] kristjans, ive never heard that suggetion befor [06:55] I try to have with a small weght :d [06:55] an image * [06:55] kristjans, the default 'sh' in ubuntu is 'dash' so if you are using Bash features - then you SHOULD be using #!/bin/bash or similer. [06:55] kristjans: fully up to you, sh follows posix standards and doesn't allow for extra bash stuff, using /usr/bin/env bash is more likely to run on more systems in case bash is not in /usr/bin [06:56] I am burning an ubuntu alternate install cd from a debian etch machine. [06:56] from 100ko I would like to have 50ko or less [06:56] Saelynh ohhh you can resize the image to lower the size and you can allways to when you go to (save ho) you can chose image quality ... and have theere more options [06:56] what if env -> /usr/bin/env is not in /usr/bin ? :) [06:56] but the last question would be better on #debian so away I go. [06:57] Saelynh (save as) [06:57] btw, i've never heard it either ;) found it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomXSession for the first line [06:57] md5sum: ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso: Input/output error [06:58] the "image quality" is only avalible for jpg exention [06:58] that is on the burned cd. sounds like I need to burn again. [06:58] kristjans: if you're only using this script on ubuntu systems then it doesn't matter, if you want it to be "more" portable (depending on definition fo portable) /usr/bin/env might help, it probably doesn't make much difference [06:59] Saelynh: what are you trying to save as? [06:59] Saelynh: that's because it's a lossy format. You get to choose how much information to throw away. [06:59] okay, it will be for ubuntu based system. thank you for all the replies! :) [06:59] Saelynh you go there more options then that like in png the compression === clever[rev] is now known as clever [07:01] nevermind, i got it working [07:02] I am using record my desktop for video capture; this works and outputs different formats (ogg?) I want to be able to add a ogg music file to this video; anybody know how to do this [07:02] I tried the jackd server but that didnt do anythign [07:05] Hi [07:05] :) [07:05] im trying to install ubuntu in my computer but it wont see my partitions already made and i REALLY dont want to delete them cuz i need stuff off them....H?ELPPP [07:06] ; /me waves! [07:06] munk_: choose the manual partioning option [07:06] tritium i did and it doesnt see my partitions.. [07:07] :( [07:07] munk_: that doesn't make sense, unless you didn't create them right [07:08] What plugin should I use for Firefox in order to have most of the sound formats work? [07:08] Hi Ubuntu People [07:08] <_6StringKng_> hi [07:08] :) [07:08] I living in Czech Republic [07:08] <_6StringKng_> get ubuntu restricted extras through add/remove [07:08] <_6StringKng_> mihai === max473 is now known as max57 [07:09] <_6StringKng_> but you have to change "show" to All available applications [07:09] ok [07:09] * JJtech be right back.. === JJtech is now known as Got [07:09] You can listen my ubuntu radio http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg === max57 is now known as max` [07:09] How do I remove entries from the applications menu. I have removed Wine (temporarily) but it always leaves all of its menus behind. [07:10] Has any body found out yet how to print to PDF from any application in Gutsy that can be read by adobe? [07:10] the cups-pdf should be in by default, you can just print [07:10] _6StringKng_: What exactly is the name of the package? [07:10] labinns1: "Print to PDF" is an option for my in any print dialog by default === Viper is now known as eVipere [07:11] <_6StringKng_> ubuntu-restricted-extras I think [07:11] <_6StringKng_> I'll check [07:11] ok [07:11] <_6StringKng_> Ubuntu restricted extras [07:11] kelsin, dns53,: Yes, It does not produce a document that can be read by Adove [07:11] <_6StringKng_> you did change it to show all available applications correct? [07:11] gibt es nen deutschen ubuntu channel?? wenn ja wie komm ich da hin [07:12] labinns1: what does the adobe program say? I've never had a problem [07:12] _6StringKing_ : Yes [07:13] kelsin, dns53,: it does not recognise the script or some such thing. [07:13] labinns1: I would double check that you're using fonts that are available on windows. by default it probably doesn't embed fonts (and I don't know how to make it) so make sure you're using Times new Roman or other windows base fonts [07:13] <_6StringKng_> k, search for the package and install it then [07:13] labinns1: does it give you that error? or does it just not look right? [07:13] tritium i created them right i have gentoo on them right now and it works properly but i wanna switch to ubuntu and the installer doesnt see the partitions...the reason i dont want to delete them is cuz i have a windows partition too that i need... [07:13] Ok, I found it [07:14] kelsin, But I don't determine the font for applications like Firefox [07:14] munk_: you're sure you're using the _manual_ installer? [07:14] partioner, rather? [07:15] labinns1: like I already asked, does adobe give you an actually error? If so what is it? [07:15] tritium u mean whenever it gets to the partitioning of the hard drive to go on manual..right? ive done it before on my laptop and it worked and now it just sees the hdd but no partitions [07:16] munk_: yes, that [07:16] kelsin, I am in Ubuntu at the moment and I don't remember the exact error, but it says something like it is unable to open the file because it does not recognise the script. [07:17] tritium and if i click on new parttyition table it uses the space as if the hdd is emp [07:17] *empty [07:17] munk_: strange [07:18] tritium i know but i really hope theres a way to go around it.. [07:18] munk_: must be something unique to your setup there [07:18] tritium :(( these things always happen to me...honestly everysingle time.. [07:19] sorry, munk_ [07:19] tritium its ok thank you tho... [07:19] Hi everyone I've got a slightly newbish question :) [07:19] I've installed my first ever linux distro today (ubuntu) vut given I didn't have a machine I am running it through VMWare. [07:20] All afternoon all ive been able to manage to do is update my sources.list to my local ISP's, I then decided to try out running an ap to see if it worked [07:20] so I went to install xhat [07:20] xchat** [07:20] labinns1: ok i have tested the cups-pdf driver, it will output a pdf to your ~/PDF/ directory [07:21] when I run it I get the error "(xchat:4228): Gtk-warning **: cannot open display: [07:21] is that a vmware issue because the app is gui based or did I stuff something up? [07:21] it is gui based [07:22] gRnt, xchat runs though? [07:22] im trying to install ubuntu in my computer but it wont see my partitions already made and i REALLY dont want to delete them cuz i need stuff off them....H?ELPPP [07:22] well I dont know as soon as I type in xchat it throws that error [07:22] when I typed sudo apt-get install xchat it installed [07:22] so I assume it would run but I heard you cant run any gui based apps in vmware.. [07:22] I love icecast2 [07:22] :-D [07:22] gRnt: setting in vmware [07:23] ill have a look now thanks [07:23] btw as hard as linux is [07:23] i love it already [07:23] how are you running it, if you run it in a terminal the DISPLAY veriable that tells the application where the screen is can get messed up, run it through the menu or another terminal [07:23] dns53, The problem is this document cannot be read by adobe. In fact nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I select print to file [07:24] selecting print to file makes it print the postscript that would be sent to the pdf driver to a file, that's going to be strait postscript and not work in adobe [07:24] dns53 if by terminal you mean the screen you click on to do everything then yes [07:24] labinns1: when I selected the CUPS-PDF printer in firefox and hit ok, a file appeared in the PDF directory in my home directory [07:24] labinns1: and as soon as my gf finishes her wow boss I'll see if it opens on her windows laptop [07:25] Alright. Running Feisty, rebuilt with a custom kernel and, for the life of me, I can't get the nVidia drivers installed. [07:25] althepcman would you happen to know where said setting is, thats also a good point it wont work without vid drivers will it? [07:26] gRnt, are you running a graphical desktop? what did you install? [07:26] Weng: same kernel version? you should be able to build the restricted package from source if you made a deb of the kernel [07:26] kelsin: Nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I use print to file. [07:26] labinns1: so when you goto print in firefox, select the pdf printer and DON'T check the print to file box, and hit ok that nothing appears in the PDF folder in your homd directory? [07:26] dns: Newer kernel. [07:26] dns53: Newer kernel [07:26] I am running ubuntu Gusty Gibbon in VMWare Workstation 5.5.4 (the ubuntu release is server and 32bit) [07:26] kelsin: That is correct [07:27] labinns1: just to be totally clear, after you do that and hit ok, then go to "Places" then "Home Folder" then double click on "PDF" you don't have any pdfs there? [07:27] Hey Hey Hey [07:27] Envy bombs out while building the driver, too. [07:27] And I *think* I know why. [07:27] evil whit death [07:27] weng: ok things get harder, you will need to download the restricted modules source, mess with the dependnecy of those packages so they depend on your new version. possible but a bit harder [07:27] gRnt, you of course need to be running X to run gui programs, otherwise there is no display, yes [07:28] hiya all [07:28] kelsin: Only files that were created prior to my upgrade to Gutsy [07:28] gRnt, not sure why you used server instead of desktop then, but you can install ubuntu-desktop package if you want [07:28] how can I see the source of a program? [07:28] dns53: perhaps you could try module-assistant or the nvidia shell script [07:28] I hate snow [07:28] astro76 was just recommened by friends to run server so I did. what do you mean I will need to be running X to run gui programs? [07:29] labinns1: then yeah, something is messed up with your cups-pdf driver and that's definitely above my leve of understanding. But adobe shouldn't be able to read "print-to-file" output, that makes sense cause it's not a pdf, it's the postscript fed to the cups-pdf driver. [07:29] for your xmms: http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg [07:29] why doesnt ubuntu see my partitions? i tried to scan with gparted and it says that all the space is unallocated but i know i have partitions on it? [07:29] dns53: Now that I really think about it, the best course is probably going to be to go build the drivers by hand and hack the makefile's "check to make sure this goon actually has an nVidia card" to recognize my one-off video chip's dev id [07:30] kelsin: Thanks for trying [07:30] munk_: What sort of partitions are they? [07:30] I have the same problem I cant get ubuntu to see my secondary hdd [07:30] munk_: you must have installed them under lvm the logical volume manager [07:30] dns53 i believe so if i remember correctly and is there anyway to go around that? [07:30] Flannel, ext3 and ntfs [07:31] labinns1: when you print a systray icon should have appeared, when you click on it are any jobs sitting there "stuck"? [07:31] dns53, but the one that is important is an ntfs... [07:31] (Why HP couldn't just give me a GeForce 4 MX 440 that said GeForce 4 MX 440 on it instead of giving me a GeForce4 MX 440 that says GeForce4 Go 440 on it and has a different device ID is absolutely beyond me) [07:31] gparted does not recognise a lvm partition, there is a tool for fedora not sure about how to do it under ubuntu [07:32] hey, while you are in the driver stuff. Any recommendations on documentation to build a driver? [07:32] * JonathanPM looks outside at the 6 degree weather and the falling snow and shivers [07:32] munk_: And if you boot to windows you see your partitions? [07:32] althepcman are you able to show me where that vmware option is [07:32] woops. I mean, about how to build a driver [07:32] kelsin: There status is held. When I try to release them the status temporarily changes to Processing and then reverts to Held but the job disappears after my 4th attempt [07:33] Flannel, yes i do... [07:34] We have ubuntu 6.06 installed on a notebook, and would like to give 7.04 a try. As we have spent over a year getting most things to work, we would like to keep 6.06 and make a dual boot install using 7.04, but we would like to be able to access the existing home directories when booting to either version. Has anyone done this previously and is able to give some details as to the procedure? [07:34] munk_: Try another linux liveCD, another version of ubuntu, knoppix, whatever. [07:34] any messages anywhere, or in properties for the jobs to say why they are held? Any errors in ~/.xsession-errors dealing with cups or pdf? [07:34] hello every1! [07:34] Flannel but how can i put ubuntu after that? [07:35] ubuntu rulezzz! [07:35] z9999: You'll need to make /home/ its own partition (not difficult), and then just share that. You could run into configuration version issues though (versions for stuff in dapper vs gutsy have different config options/fomratms whatever) [07:35] munk_: Just trying to see what other things can see those partitions. [07:35] z9999, just make new partitions for 7.04 (you can use the same swap partition) and install, during the partitioning section of the install, you can specify the mount points of the other systems partitions (e.g. /media/dapper or whatever) [07:35] Flannel ok ill try thanks [07:35] OK, very stupid question - where is the best place to install programs to? [07:36] what are you guys using to convert ogg to mp3. I was thinking about ffmpeg, but cant seem to find a command to do it [07:36] z9999, and from your rational for keeping the other system, you definitely do NOT want to share /home to be safe [07:36] munk_, does 'fdisk' see them? (fdisk , then 'p' to display the partition table) [07:36] OldakQuill: you mean programs that you can't install with synaptic/aptitude/apt-get? [07:36] z9999, if you just wanted to try 7.04 / 7.10, you could just use the live cd :) [07:36] z9999: Or you can have a separate install entirely, and you just mount the old home to access stuff, yeah. like astro76 said. [07:36] kelsin: Yes [07:36] And just a convenient common place for things like jar [07:37] most times java apps (and other apps that have everything theyh need in one folder) get placed in /opt [07:37] Does anyone know why I am getting the error (xchat:7933): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: when I try and run xchat (an IRC client). I have already installed the nvidia drivers using sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic. I am using vmware though... [07:37] and normal autotools apps and other unix programs that follow filesystem guidelines are good to put in /usr/local to keep them separate from ubuntu packages [07:37] Thank you very much [07:37] Where does wget download to? [07:37] gRnt, because you are running ubuntu server with no x installed [07:37] gRnt, install ubuntu-desktop [07:37] OldakQuill: working directory [07:37] ramza3: just as a note, you're not going to get good quality going from ogg -> mp3 [07:37] gRnt logout/login [07:38] kelsin: Trying to have a look at the properties now, but I have not received any error messages [07:38] Ok, thanks [07:38] dns53 I havent had to do that yet how do I log out heh. save restarting the os ofcourse [07:38] OldakQuill, current directory (.) [07:38] astro76 what do you mean I have no x installed? [07:38] !xorg [07:38] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [07:38] Ok, that was a dumb question, but thanks for answering [07:39] gRnt, or perhaps you have installed X (probably as a dependency for xchat), but you aren't running X [07:39] Hey, dumb questions are good too. [07:39] my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading [07:39] gRnt: Do you have a GUI or is your vmware system just console based? [07:39] OldakQuill, thats what were here for :) [07:39] kelsin, i have an input program that only supports mp3 [07:39] gRnt: the problem is you do not have all the shell environment variables setup, a logout/login or running bash to create a sub shell may work [07:39] labinns1: I would start poking around at http://localhost:631 and trying to figure out why the pdf driver is "broken" === CrewChat-5589526 is now known as D_ReaL_PuNiShEr [07:40] newbdude: maybe firmware upgrades or something. I've even seen firmware that lets some cards run in AP mode. [07:40] kelsin: Nothing in properties, printer status is ready [07:40] dns53, he has installed ubuntu server, there is no x.org [07:40] ramza3: I'm not saying you shouldn't be trying to get mp3's as an end result, but if you can encode the mp3s from flacs, or original data that's the better option [07:40] dns53: xchat will only run in X [07:40] wow okay to everyone that replied this is my first install so most of this is going over my head from what I understand I need to download and isntall a gui in order to run xchat as I currently only have a console.. [07:40] <[cd]> Hi [07:40] gRnt: yes or you can use a console based irc client such as irssi [07:41] gRnt run "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" then reboot the vm [07:41] [cd]: hi [07:41] sudo apt-get install irssi? [07:41] gRnt: yes [07:41] <[cd]> Could anyone tell me what the pkg/program that is used in Gutsy for wireless (wifi)? [07:41] gRnt: yeap [07:41] YAY im learning.. [07:41] gRnt, do you want a command-line only server, or a desktop system? if the latter, you might want to install regular Ubuntu in the first place, or as I said now you could install the ubuntu-desktop package from the server install [07:41] kelsin: Thanks for that link, I will have a look. [07:41] its taken me all arvo to set up my sources.list for my isp [07:41] labinns1: that's the localhost link to the cups admin panel on your computer [07:41] come to think of it, there is a no-gui option for xchat, irssi [07:41] linux is a steep learning curb lol [07:41] h1st0: my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading [07:41] gRnt: well console is yes. [07:42] newbdude: they would be patched drivers or firmware upgrades. [07:42] gRnt: if you were handed a windows install cd, a blank computer and had no prior windows knowledge it would be a pretty steep curve as well [07:42] <[cd]> anyone here is using gutsy? [07:42] true kelsin...I only went with server because everyone I know with linux said using a gui defeats the purpose of using linux.. [07:42] :( [07:42] newbdude: search for patched drivers or have a look at the aircrack-ng.org site they have some documentation on altered drviers for packet injection etc... That may be a good start. [07:42] how do you install VMware player from source?.... I downloaded the .tar.gz file and extracted it to my Desktop.... what now? [07:43] gRnt: I would just install the full ubuntu desktop, esp if you want to learn [07:43] newbdude: I don't know how exactly you'd boost a physical limitation unless the manufacturer is turning it down though. [07:43] so.. who's the main helping hand around? [07:43] <[cd]> Zeth usually ./configure | make | make install [07:43] gRnt, hehe, well defeats the purpose of running it as a server... but if it's intended as a desktop... [07:43] you can get a long way with screen and irssi [07:43] where do i have to install java ? [07:43] gRnt: well thats not necessarily true. [07:43] gRnt: Once you get more experienced you will see what they mean. [07:43] <[cd]> Anyone here is using gutsy? [07:43] gRnt, they said that because graphical desktop introduces security risks unnecessary in a server [07:44] <[cd]> or gusty* [07:44] [cd]: yes [07:44] <[cd]> could the one who is using it , tell me what is the program used in it for wifi/wireless as i really need it ;) [07:44] okay so irssi works mine [07:44] except one thing [07:44] how do you exit it [07:44] hah [07:44] gRnt: On my laptop I boot to cli and only use X when I need it. I have a core gui set up. [07:44] h1st0: thanks, i will look where you suggested, i know it prob not put out by the manuf. cause teach said that he couldnt telll us where to obtain them [07:44] Nematocyst, no im on the live cd it doesnt see it...i just tried with feisty too and same thing.. [07:44] gRnt: /exit [07:44] pfft [07:44] thats too easy! [07:45] install sun-java6-jre or icedtea-java7-jre [07:45] I was expect ctrl + weird key combo or something [07:45] gRnt: you can also /help in there will give you a whole bunch of inof. Or /help server etc.... [07:45] [cd]: yeah I know that is the usual way.. but all that is in here is a file called vmware-install.pl [07:45] help pls! [07:45] [cd]: what do you mean exactly? What are you trying to do? [07:46] <[cd]> try ./vmware-install.p1 or somethings [07:46] <[cd]> i cant update to gutsy (bandwidth limited) , so i decided to install wireless stuff into this ubuntu without needing to update it [07:47] rgnr like i said, you can install sun's vm sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre or the open source icedtea-java7-jre [07:47] <[cd]> i tried ubuntu gutsy on my bro laptop which works perfect but i dont know where he put the cd [07:47] [cd]: What wireless stuff are you looking for? [07:47] sorry about this: Me and a friend found a illegal dvd, etc pre-teen por web site but since I don't live in USA probably won't help to call the goverment here, any help? (sorry for the off topic but sometimes one have to do what one have to do) [07:47] <_6StringKng_> any suggestions on getting my internal modem in my laptop to work with ubuntu 7.10? [07:47] munk_, well then i would try 'fdisk -l' to see that you are looking at the correct device [07:47] movaxes: contact the FBI if for the US [07:48] <[cd]> GUI wireless configure (usually some kind of restreicted driver and program that lets you scan all wireless and you pick the one you like to connected too (without using shell) [07:48] movaxes, that's a local law enforcement issue [07:48] I don't live in the USA [07:48] a web site? [07:48] ok [07:48] labinns1: you could also try "sudo aptitude install cups-pdf" again or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cups-pdf" to see if that helsp [07:48] movaxes: Well then you'd have to contact your local law enforcement [07:48] any1 help please [07:48] <_6StringKng_> whats happening? [07:49] [cd]: ahh I believe thats just the new network-manager applet [07:49] hey, can anyone help me figure out why video in totem is blue for me? [07:49] does anyone know how to install VMware player from source? [07:49] any ogg/avi/mpeg all has a tint of blue [07:49] <[cd]> i guess , could you tell me its name please? :D (i really really need it) [07:49] <[cd]> Zeth , the one you told us isnt from source [07:49] zetheroo: I dont' really play with vmware I use virtualbox but anyhoot there is good documentation on installing from source at help.ubuntu.com [07:50] [cd]: network-manager [07:50] I have a program that is linking to the wrong set of libraries... anyone know a way to change a single applications linking? [07:50] ok I'll try, sorry [07:50] <[cd]> ok , i hope there is .deb or source code for it [07:50] any1 sees me ? [07:50] <[cd]> Zeth use this to install it ./vmware-install.pl [07:50] dmb: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/7373 that might help [07:50] [cd]: Its already installed in feisty you'd have to upgrade the package to the gutsy version. I wouldn't really recomend that. [07:50] rgnr: no [07:50] Slackwise: you could always try using system links to point to the correct location [07:51] <[cd]> h1st0 the problem i am on 56k (modem) thats why i cant [07:51] dns53: You mean soft/hard links? [07:51] Slackwise: yes, soft links should work [07:51] [cd]: No I'm saying you would have to upgrade that package and a few others to the gutsy version is that what you are trying to accomplish? [07:51] Nematocyst, it doesnt show me anything:( [07:52] [cd]: also you can order ubuntu cds for free on their site. The Ship it program. [07:52] <[cd]> Well no , but i am trying to makes me wireless working with me [07:52] dns53: I'm fairly sure they wont... when a binary is executed, it checks the dynamic library cache for the location of a symbol for functions it needs... [07:52] <[cd]> i know about that and i also know how long it will takes to arive ;) [07:52] [cd]: So you need an app that will scan for APs and allow connetion easier. hold up. [07:52] <[cd]> yeah :D [07:52] hey guys i've discovered theres a problem with my wireless driver, but i'm not sure what it is. how do i find out about what my wireless hardware/driver is [07:52] [cd]: wifi radar? [07:53] <[cd]> i would test it , thanks for your help [07:53] [cd]: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/ [07:53] Slackwise: worth a try, if the problem is a newer version is installed it will work, if you have an older version than you need it will break [07:53] wot? [07:53] <[cd]> the link is ever better (thx again) :) [07:53] anyone managed to get Xen working with an Intel C2D? [07:53] [cd]: sudo apt-get install wifi-radar [07:53] johnnybezak: "lspci" in a term should list a bunch of hardware, should be able to find your wireless card there [07:53] [cd]: it should be int he repos [07:53] <[cd]> no need - emerge wifi-rader xD [07:54] dns53: I'm fairly certain I will break my entire system by linking to a different version of glibc :P [07:54] kelsin: that worked, again, another problem with proprietary only drivers :( [07:54] [cd]: well maybe you should ask the gentoo people. [07:54] thanks though [07:54] <[cd]> No , i am trying to install deb/gentoo/fedora app mangers into one distro [07:54] <[cd]> many people saying its a bad idea ,but i will see :) [07:55] It is a bad idea because they aren't aware of each other [07:55] [cd]: and files will clobber each other constantly, and you will just end up with a ton of incompatible binaries [07:55] <[cd]> i would have to edit few thing , to makes this works with me but till that i am sure everythings would move smooth [07:55] [cd]: not when all three try to install their own version of glibc on top of each other [07:56] ыва [07:56] <[cd]> no need , i will take care off it (by install it from source) [07:56] <[cd]> so gentoo emerge will comes here , and other pkgs i will get it from other mangers [07:57] evening [07:57] how i use proxychains in ubuntu? [07:57] !livecd [07:57] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [07:57] [cd]: its in the repos I don't know why you'd even bother messing with it. Or why you'd even bother with allthe differenct package mangers. [07:57] I need help installing with a dual boot [07:57] !customlivecd [07:57] Creating custom Live CDs is explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [07:57] [cd]: since you aren't really gaining anything from it. [07:57] then you break dependecies, so then to install a deb you have to tell dpkg to ignore the fact that it can't find glibc, then you run into two problems 1) you're losing the main beneifit of the whole apt system and 2) the binary debian packages will be built on other glibc versions -> hence broken system [07:57] !botabuse > LoneShadow (Please see the private message from ubotu) [07:58] im looking for a method to setup an easy\light HTTPD on ubuntu. [07:58] h1st0: thanks :) [07:58] <[cd]> Eww , i never though about it [07:58] any one have idea [07:58] ? [07:59] I get a root error when trying to install 7.10 into a different partition [07:59] * [cd] is officaly ended his project [07:59] nitrix: there are tones of light httpd out there. [07:59] moving files to trash works very slow, and theres bunch of errors in dmesg regarding cifs [07:59] Well. I found why the nVidia driver wasn't building. [07:59] There seems to be something going on with my ACPI that is causing my fan to run alot... [07:59] I accidentally turned off the System V memory sharing module when I rebuilt the damned kernel. [07:59] how i use proxychains in ubuntu? [07:59] Which, apparently, it needs. [07:59] any one have idea? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:00] Flannel - astro76: OK, you've presented me with some additional questions. [08:00] [cd]: you're better off learning how to package things (ebuilds or debs) for whichever system you like better and just making packages for the few things either ubuntu or gentoo don't have that you want [08:00] We would like to keep 6.06 installed as is until we can confirm that a newer version either eliminates previous hardware problems, wireless which now works fine, and audio which we still are having problems with. [08:00] We also wish to keep our personal files intact and safe, allowing them to be accessed from either OS boot. [08:00] I hadn't thought about differences in config files, but we have some very important files that need to be available for access while testing a new OS version. [08:00] Currently we are trying to figure out how to make a new partition without losing any important files. We've never used parted and leery of doing anything without first understanding how it works. [08:00] * Weng <3 ancient mainframe memory models in his modern GPU drivers [08:00] z9999: if you do need to resize / make new partitions I recommend downloading the gparted live cd and using that [08:01] <[cd]> well , i will on the leecher side then (the main goal to use all mangers) xD [08:01] z9999: it's a gui, pretty easy to understand and in my experience works really well. Of course backup any important data before you do this [08:01] can someone help me? I cant get 7.10 to install, I get a root error when I try to use the partition I set up for it [08:02] nitrix: there is lighttpd and a sleu of others [08:03] evfan42: how are you creating the partition that you want to use for it? [08:03] whats the command to format a HD completely [08:03] gnome partition editor [08:04] z9999: gparted may be the way to go. or cfdisk something more graphical. [08:04] evfan42: no GUI command plz [08:04] MatthewV: Would the live CD boot allow us to determine if the wireless is installed and works, and the audio also? These are the two pieces of hardware we have had the most problems getting to work. [08:04] WGGMk: what do you want to format and what file type? [08:04] evfan42: What is the error you are getting? [08:05] h1st0: No root file system is defined [08:05] thats the error I get [08:05] z9999, they would tell you if it worked out of the box... ie if it works out of the box then it will do the same once installed, however, if you need a lot of tweaking, you may not be able to try all that from the live cd [08:05] dns53: I want to format an external 500GB USB External HD... standby for file system type [08:05] z9999, since this is a much newer version though , there's a good chance that even what you had trouble with before will now work without issue [08:06] kelsin: I believe we have parted and gparted installed from the package manager. Is the live cd you mention something different? [08:06] H1st0 do you mind if I im'ed you [08:07] z9999: yes, it's a bootable live cd that you can download from the gparted website and boot with. Just allows you to play with all partitions on the system [08:07] evfan42: you have to mark the partition as / [08:07] will gparted non-destructively resize a ext3 partition ? [08:07] net [08:07] evfan42: no I don't care if you msg me [08:07] avis: yes [08:07] YAY For all those who helped me woot [08:07] im learning! [08:07] is it possible to run a virtual machine from a plugged in USB device? [08:07] anyway just wanted to say thanks im off to try and install apache [08:07] dns53: sorry i seem to forget the command to list the current filesystem type [08:07] avis: (but obviously backup any important data, stuff can always go wrong) but I've had great experience with it resizing (grow and shrink) ntfs and ext3 partitions [08:07] avis: any time you resize you have to possibility of losing data. [08:08] thank you [08:08] z9999, the livecd we are talking about is the ubuntu install cd [08:08] avis: I've never lost anything but its possible. [08:08] dns53: id like to keep it the same as my root filing system unless there is beniefts of others for strictly storage that will be accessed frequently and updating frequently [08:08] z9999: the live cd I'm talking about is the gparted cd, I was just pointing it out as a good solution to resize and make new partitions, I'm NOT talking about configuring the new ubuntu install after [08:08] evfan42: Once you create teh partition you also need to select the mount point for it in the installer. Like / which would be the root partition. [08:09] dns53: so my root file system is ext3 [08:09] well the easy way is use gparted. you need to create a partition if you have not. there is usually a tool for each file system [08:10] thanks dolphin_noel [08:10] h1st0: thanks, for some reason I couldn't get it but it works now [08:10] WGGMk, the command is mkfs.ext3 [08:11] evfan42: Yeah thats all you just need to specify the mount point. Make sure you also create a partition for /swap as well. [08:11] thanks, i could not remember it myself either [08:11] yeah I have a swap from the last one [08:11] evfan42: Just FYI you could let he installer set up the partitions for you. [08:11] hi, i'm having trouble to mount an external usb drive as regular user [08:11] kelsin + astro76: Currently we have sda1 32 kb to 99 Gb ext3, and sda2 99 Gb to 100 Gb, which I believe is used as sda5 which shows to be a 1.3 Gb swap. [08:11] astro76: and that will format the existing partitions and make and ext3 partition after format? is this similar to fdisk? [08:11] mounting as root works fine, but i can't mount from inside gnome [08:11] evfan42: and if you insist on doing it manually I would make a seperate /home partition. That way if you reinstall or switch distros all your data and settings are saved. === zac_ is now known as themoebius [08:11] any ideas where to start? [08:12] h1st0:I already had a partition for windows that I didn't wont to lose [08:12] weyer: what are you trying to mount. [08:12] WGGMk: the mkfs commands only deal with the filesystems. I edit the partitions on the disk you need to use fdisk / cfdisk or a gui program like gparted [08:12] WGGMk: *to edit I meant [08:12] evfan42: Yeah if you jgust leave free space the installer does its job and won't touch windows with out telling you. [08:12] h1st0: external "enclosure" usb disk, with a maxtor inside [08:12] weyer: should just plug it in. [08:12] kelsin: so to properly format and lay down a filing system use mkfs,ext3? [08:12] h1st0: alright, thx [08:12] Hi every body... [08:13] WGGMk, Yes it will create the filesystem, therefore formatting it. fdisk creates partitions but you already have a partition [08:13] can i setup ubuntu as a server n windows machines as clients.... [08:13] WGGMk: once you have a partition that you want to have formatted ext3, that command will do it [08:13] Indiadev_Techie: a server for what? [08:13] astro76, dns53, kelsin: thanks for the help guys [08:13] WGGMk: partitions are containers that tell the data where the start and end are. If that makes more sense [08:13] file sharing & communication.... [08:13] h1st0: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. [08:13] hi channel [08:13] h1st0: thanks for the helpful analogy [08:13] Indiadev_Techie, you could run a virtual machine [08:14] h1st0: that's what i get when i plug it in [08:14] !vm | Indiadev_Techie [08:14] Indiadev_Techie: you can have a ubuntu server share files via the windows file sharing mechanisms [08:14] Indiadev_Techie: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [08:14] Indiadev_Techie, misread your question... ignore me [08:14] Indiadev_Techie: as far as communications, I don't know what you mean by that [08:14] hey all [08:14] WGGMk: then when you format you are just formating inside of that partition. [08:15] i want to setup ubuntu as a surver since windows 2003 server license in very costly.... n it limits u to number of pcs..... [08:15] kelsin: i mean ircd for communication... [08:15] here is my problem : i have recently bought an ASUS Z99N, installed ubuntu, and it appears that during the booting, it sometimes freezes. i have found out that launching a memtest before booting reduces the likelyhood of a freezing, and i'm lost about what to do next to fix it [08:15] we have hp workstaion in our campus/academy [08:16] IRC is OS independent, you can definitely get an ubuntu server to share files via samba and run an irc server [08:16] i got a question for anyone of you [08:16] bidioule_: I would try disabling acpi, it's a boot parameter, and see if that helps [08:17] where do i install java [08:17] hey do you guys know what the deal is with the official ati drivers? do i need to install it from their .run file or is the version in the ubuntu repositories best? [08:17] whats a simple httpd for ubuntu? lighttpd doesnt work... [08:17] rgnr: to install java you just type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" there is no "where" unless you're doing something very tricky [08:17] kelsin : it seems to freeze almost always at the same point, i can see that during a recovery-session boot [08:17] nitrix : apache... [08:17] bidioule_: what point? [08:18] apache is not simple [08:18] nitrix: people have gotten lighhttpd to work, what was the issue? [08:18] nitrix: it just luk to be not simple... [08:18] kelsin : would you know what is the file logging the output of the booting process ? i'll post my problem on a forum, it seems kind of crowded in here... [08:18] /var/log/messages I think... I could be wrong [08:19] ok i'll check out, thanks for the help [08:19] rgnr sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre there is also 5 and icetea [08:20] astro76 : i dont wanna run VM instead i wanna setup a server for windows client o that we can share files, communicate thro ircd & browse internet..... [08:21] i downloaded lighthttpd, ./configure then make and im lost... [08:21] Indiadev_Techie: you can definitely do that on ubuntu, depending on exact requirements it will require some learning / google [08:21] nitrix: install it with the ubuntu packages [08:21] ? [08:21] how [08:21] sudo apt-get install lighttpd [08:22] doesnt work [08:22] tried b4 [08:22] nitrix, doesnt install? [08:22] nitrix: and when you're at it it would be a good idea to browse ubuntu documentation, you should never be installing from source unless you have a specific reason to be [08:22] packet lighthttpd is not avail. [08:22] n one morr question.... does ubuntu v7.10 have ntfs read/write feature ??? [08:22] you probably have to enable the universe and multiverse repos [08:22] Indiadev_Techie, yes [08:22] gay [08:23] usser: gr888888888888888888 [08:23] !universe [08:23] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[08:32] mathen: key super is the one with windows logo on it [08:32] mathen: super = windows key [08:32] mathen: is the windows key between ctrl and alt [08:33] on the left-side [08:33] mathen: are you trying to change the key in compiz fusion? [08:33] Cool! thanks people, I saw a video how one could arrange all windows (internet, folders, terminal, xchat, etc) Almost like Super+E, but just not all "screens" :P [08:33] i like the thing that lets you write in fire all over the screen [08:34] No r0b I'm satisfied with having it as my windows key :) [08:34] mathen: yeah, the grouping is pretty spiffy :) [08:34] I want to create a dual boot disk, with a new Gutsy installation and a Feisty installation copied from another disk (but created on the same machine).

But booting does not work. First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but without [08:34] What do you press to arrange all open windows side by side so to say.

[08:47] delano, tell us more about the machine - when you do that what is in your machine already some other operating system that is not gnu/linux?

[08:52] ompaul: so, say I slide it to 95% (139.5 in my case) [08:52] rattts, ehh maybe 56mb - check out DSL not a great UI but in terms of a box that small it rocks [08:52] ok how do i install the open source driver? [08:52] wat about an old version of ubuntu? [08:52] ompaul: the 139g will be the size of my current ntds partition, right? [08:52] ntfs [08:52] Does tiny Os have a word proccessor?????????? [08:52] rattts: if anything, ubuntu is lighter than it used to be :) [08:52] adamadam20074: not exactly sure... just a sec [08:53] rattts: ubuntu would be fine for that. [08:53] the newest version? [08:53] delano, correct, however you should give the ubuntu O/S a chance and give it 15/20Gigs so you can keep installing stuff without pain [08:53] rattts: or puppy linux or damn small linux there are tons of variants [08:53] rattts: of small os's out there. [08:53] h1st0: ubuntu is fine on 56MB of ram? O_o [08:53] lol [08:53] crdlb: rattts sure running in console mode [08:53] rattts, check out distrowatch.com cos ubuntu is too heavy [08:53] lol [08:54] ok thanx [08:54] ompaul: well, it's a 160g drive, so 139 would still leave behind 19g [08:54] rattts: do you need a gui? then install ubuntu comand line and install flux or some lighter weight wb [08:54] h1st0: I don't think that's how he would interpret that :) [08:54] rattts: wm [08:54] windows xp ran fine on this comp by the way [08:54] so now wat do u think [08:54] ompaul: no its not if you stay away from ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop packages. [08:54] Ok, I can't move my windows or make them smaller or bigger ( I reseted the settings in Compiz to standard, so I don't think the error belongs there anymore ) [08:54] rattts: how much ram does it have? [08:54] im not sure. it has no os atm [08:55] so i forgot [08:55] either 128 or 56 [08:55] i think 128 mb [08:55] rattts:probably 128 [08:55] try xubuntu out [08:55] ok thanx [08:55] xubuntu is lightweight? === our is now known as Sir_Fawnpug [08:55] yes [08:55] adamadam20074: this looks like a good place to start.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [08:55] thanx. that will do [08:55] Never operate a computer when drinking [08:55] cya im off to download xubuntu [08:55] and if thats not light enough you can install a command line systme and install an even lighter weight window manager [08:56] delano, I will say this however the more you give ubuntu the more you can do with it - I share with with windows by giving windows 0% of every hard drive in my house ;-) [08:56] k I'm off [08:56] rattts: but xubuntu will be fine with those specs [08:56] Haha [08:56] I want to create a dual boot disk, with a new Gutsy installation and a Feisty installation copied from another disk (but created on the same machine). I partitioned the disk, installed Gutsy on one partition, dd'ed the Feisty installation onto the other partition, and added stanzas for the Feisty partition to /boot/grub/menu.lst.

First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but without [08:56] ompaul: I run a program called ext2fs [08:56] ompaul: it allows windows to read/write to linux partitions [08:56] pg, you never finished that line first time [08:56] delano, that is horrible [08:57] Nah, it's really useful [08:57] Now xp and ubuntu can play nice :S [08:57] sorry - what should I finish? [08:57] delano: there a filesystem-drivers for ext2 for windows [08:57] pg you finish at the point: First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but withou [08:57] Anyway, toodles [08:58] 'ndiswrapper.ko' could not be found, has anyone dealt with this before when doing 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'? [08:58] ompaul: first it wouldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it without drivers, and now it doesn't boot the Gutsy installation anymore [08:58] Heeeey... What do I type to use a tar.bz2? [08:59] ompaul: I think it was reading different menu.lst files these two times. [08:59] adamadam20074: how is the process going? [08:59] i've wrote a paper on how to create an encrypted nas with ubuntu, but i'm not a native english speaker. could someone take a look at it and correct the mistakes i made? [09:00] impaul: it's booting the Feisty installation but with the Gutsy kernel, so the kernel modules don't get loaded correctly [09:00] pg, sounds more like a broken upgrade than a new install - the description does not match what you are suggesting happened :-( however I will have the bot message you something that may help [09:00] hi I am a linux n00b. I had had enough of ms shit and I thought ubuntu would be the most user friendly for me. I was wondering if there is a codec pack similar to k-lite or nimo for linux [09:00] totem is not working [09:00] pg, now I am sure of what I suggested [09:00] FreeFall: video or sound codec? [09:01] video [09:01] impaul: OK... [09:01] FreeFall: there is ffmpeg for the command line... [09:01] for converting anyway [09:01] ok [09:01] pg try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -- however I think you should back up any data you have and start again [09:01] ompaul: I can try copying the installation, then installing if that will help [09:01] FreeFall: what do you want to do? [09:02] play .avi files [09:02] I torrent alot [09:02] legaly [09:02] ...yes [09:02] ompaul: I mean I can copy the Feisty installation, then install Gutsy on another partition [09:02] FreeFall, u can install vlc player [09:02] FreeFall: ah... then download the VLC media player... the best there is [09:02] I know [09:02] I hates vlc [09:02] hello, I'm doing an alternate install on a machine that has no possibility of connecting to the internet, I selected a different language (French) and it said it could download some additional dictionaries, etc. How would I go about finishing the language installation? [09:02] oh well [09:02] if I got to I got to [09:02] !codec > FreeFall (Please see the private message from ubotu) [09:02] it is five pages, could somebody please take a look at it? i'd be glad [09:02] what about kaffine? [09:02] pg do this, using a live CD examine your machine and move your home directory to somewhere safe or that you are sure of and then start your processes again [09:03] FreeFall, or mplayer or xine [09:03] FreeFall: hehe... I love it myself ;) [09:03] FreeFall, kaffeine is pretty cool [09:03] FreeFall, i loved it [09:03] pg I have to go later and enjoy the learning ;-) [09:03] When havong Freenode, how can one put to good use OFTC in addition? [09:03] FreeFall, u'd have to tinker with the codecs a bit to make it work properly [09:03] I have been to several channels in search of a problem resolution, I have yet to find a fix to my issue. I am running kubuntu 7.10 x64 and I am getting internet slowness (7.2 KBps) across the internet only. I have an XP machine that D/L files at 600+ KBps on the same lan, and I have another HD with kubuntu 7.10 32 bit that downloads the same as my XP machine. A weird piece is that samba downloads from my XP machine to my 7 [09:03] nered, but no one seems to be able to give me further help. If anyone thinks they can shed light on what is happening, I welcome some direction. [09:03] is there anything else that I should be doing to my ubuntu that might not of been in the 7.10 pack? [09:04] ompaul: thanks: just one question: does it matter what is put on teh disk first: the old installation or the new one? [09:04] FreeFall, what do u mean? [09:04] pg no [09:04] sorry to rattle off questions [09:04] I just want so bad to be done with microsoft [09:04] FreeFall: DVD::Rip [09:04] FreeFall, since you are interested in media... start with ubuntu-restricted-extras, and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [09:05] !medibuntu | FreeFall [09:05] FreeFall: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:05] cool [09:05] thanks [09:05] sorry for being such a newbie [09:05] I found this site [09:06] and I figured the irc probaably better than trolling around the net all night [09:06] figuring out what to get [09:06] FreeFall, that will set you up with all the codecs and encrypted dvd support [09:06] awesome [09:06] thank you guys so much [09:06] FreeFall: that is what this channel is here for :) [09:06] FreeFall, and flash, java, and ms fonts ;) [09:06] also I am using bitchx is that the best irc for linux it was the only one I know from when I made eggdrops [09:07] FreeFall, popular ones are irssi, xchat, and bitchx [09:07] Is anyone able to help me out with my dyndns issue I know its not directly ubuntu related but im sure someone here uses it [09:07] fuck xchat [09:07] !ohmy [09:07] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:07] irssi ftw [09:07] oh crap [09:07] sorry === chaky_ is now known as chaky [09:08] astro76: assuming he is using 32bit Ubuntu... in my case I can not (really) use flash on my computers because this laptop is PowerPC and desktop is 64bit.. [09:09] gRnt: I just joined, what is your dyndns issue? [09:09] hey guys, what do I put into terminal to open a .tar.bz2 after i get to the right directory [09:09] t1n0m3n other can access the server but any of the servers on my home network only get the option to log into my router. I know you can change your hosts file on windows but that didnt fix it [09:10] H264_laptop, good point, FreeFall you might also consider sticking with 32bit ubuntu, even if 64bit is an option for you [09:10] for example if I gave you the URL it'd work for you but not here locally [09:10] timsandtoms, tat -jvf yourarchive.tar.bz2 [09:10] :D awesome, thanks [09:10] sorry timsandtoms no [09:10] thats xjf [09:10] timsandtoms, tar xjvf [09:10] either way :-) [09:10] ah, thanks guys :) [09:11] hi, what does ./ do exactly? im trying to add a shortcut to thunderbird to my panel [09:11] yeah v is verbose [09:11] gRnt: what is in your hosts file? [09:11] what is amak engine? [09:11] windows or nix? [09:11] ttt-, ./ is current directory, ../ is one directory up [09:11] amarok-engine [09:11] astro76: but you need it to execute a program? ./thunderbird works.. but thunderbird doesnt [09:11] in the terminal [09:11] for windows its 192.168.1.100 http://dyndns account [09:12] so thats obviously the servers static and the dyndns it should link to [09:12] actually its [09:12] for windows its 192.168.1.100 http://dyndns account/torrentflux/ [09:12] ttt-, in the terminal you need to specify the full path to execute a program, unless that program is in your path, and ./ is the shortest way of specifying the full path ;) [09:12] i hate to ask again but could somebody please take a quick look over my paper and check for mistakes? [09:12] FreeFall: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is your friend... you can look up any packages and descriptions there :) [09:13] gRnt: That doesnt look right, it should be whatever you set the account to update, not the actual url to the account [09:13] astro76: thanks for the help [09:13] come again [09:14] 192.168.1.100 is the ip of the server, which is what its updating? [09:14] ttt-, for the shortcut.. you will want to specify full path if it's not in $PATH, without using ./ [09:14] yeah, it worked like you said [09:18] can somebody give me their sources.list? [09:19] for 7.10 === AutumnCat_ is now known as AutumnCat [09:19] thx in advance [09:19] Hey, quick unrelated question(But I can't very well ask it IN efnet)...

Maybe it's blocked by your ISP if it's a default port (like 6881 or so) [10:38] fx|RabBi1, fyi, just because you are uploading doesn't mean ports are forwarded [10:38] MilhousePunkRock: originally 6472 [10:38] now on 6881 again [10:38] DOes anyone know a good torrent client that can shcedule downlaods?

[10:45] umop: BTW using the 'at' command or crontab you can schedule any action on a linux box if you know console commands. so you can use any torrent client that can autostart transfers and start it at a given time via crontab [10:45] umop, use ktorrent instead [10:45] I want to confirm that I am running Ubuntu 64 [10:46] MilhousePunkRock: i dont know if my router has it as i said its a ubunut gutsy router with firestarte as gui to iptables...

[10:48] fx|RabBi1: Hmm... [10:48] Its supposed to be 64 bit but I installed 4 gigs (the mobo is an Intel) and the system is reporting only ~3.5 gigs total. [10:49] umop: a lot of clients can scan a defined dir for new torrents on a regular basis and add them to the queue. so you can fill up that dir when you stumble upon an interesting torrent, and just have a cron job to start the client at night (which will then read the accumulated torrents and enqueue them) [10:49] MilhousePunkRock: i forwarded 27096 too and now it works-.- [10:49] didnt see that one anywhere in options...

[10:52] fx|RabBi, thats good [10:52] MilhousePunkRock: umm sry that one would be 4444 [10:53] stefg, ok fair enough, i was avoiding azerus for that reason even though i have a similar setup to you, thanks [10:53] fx|RabBi1: Basically KTorrent needs three ports, all of which have to be forwarded [10:53] MilhousePunkRock: DHT was disabled [10:53] MilhousePunkRock: k, im starting to get it , yust opened dht on 6882 [10:54] fx|RabBi1: I'd say, stay away from the default ports, some trackers block them...

[11:34] then i'm left at an "ok" prompt. not sure what's going on [11:34] encryptz, IIRC only ubuntu server is available for sparc, and that is not a livecd [11:35] Anyone know how i can get the buttons on my Hauppage remote control (Nova-T USB stick) to work? Atm only the numbers, volume, arrows and power buttons work... [11:35] astro76: yes. you're right. that's what i'm installing. [11:35] i'm booting from cd [11:35] firebirdy [11:35] nice one [11:35] mikebeecham: glad that worked [11:35] encryptz, ok just making sure ;) [11:35] astro76: any ideas why i'm seeing "Illegal Instruction"? [11:36] encryptz, no idea about linux on sparc, sorry [11:36] chazco: if lirc can't read other keys then it might be a firmware issue (so this means you're out of luck) [11:36] ahh. so you just wanted to correct me about the live cd lexicon then. :) [11:37] firebirdy: all this so that I can run Photoshop CS3 :( [11:37] encryptz, I wanted to ensure you didn't have the x86 livecd, actually [11:37] anyone else install dapper on a sparc box before? [11:38] Guys whats best solution to get 32bit firefox on my 64bit system [11:38] encryptz: i don't know about sparc, but an illegal instruction error looks pretty final ...:-( [11:38] stefg: you would think. however, with the kernel and the ramdisk loading, then failing, that tells me that it's probably init [11:39] melz: are you running ubuntu 7.04 or higher? if so, you can install it using synaptic. I know, it's not the most up-to-date version... [11:39] trying to think of the boot process here [11:39] hi which dc client is best tu use?? is anyone with segment downloading?? plz [11:39] encryptz: some bad module in initrd ? [11:40] stefg - showkeys shows codes when i press the buttons... but i have no idea where to go from there.... everything i've tried with lirc seems to fail (i've read it has issues in Gusty) [11:40] firebirdy, ubuntu 7.10, yeah I just uninstalled the one from synaptic to install a newer version [11:41] stefg: not sure [11:41] chazco: ah, ok, you already get the keys? good, so you just need to assign them to some action... [11:41] hard to tell without a decent terminal... [11:41] !sparc [11:41] Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.

I have a question about GRUB: Is it possible to configure it so by default it will run the last selected option ? If i'm doing some Linux stuff I want to restart on Linux, but if I'm rebooting Windows after installing a driver or something, i'd like to reboot by default on Windows. Is this possible ? [12:06] _Dbug_: i don't think so..., is it that difficult to select one of the menu options? [12:07] Actually while I'm here (god I hate being new to all of this) Whats the best method of getting RSS feeds for ubuntu torrentflux [12:07] !rss | gRntLINUX [12:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about rss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:07] <_Dbug_> IndyGunFreak, just that it means you have to stay on the computer during all the shut-down, bios init, drive detection, boot detection process. Sounds suboptimal no ? [12:07] i thought that was a bot signal, guess not. [12:08] _Dbug_: huh?... if yu're installing drivers, updating, etc, and it causes you to restart, aren't you going to at least let the system boot up to make sure its working? [12:08] thani, history -c [12:09] <_Dbug_> IndyGunFreak, of course I do test, but during the 2 minutes break I assume I can go fetch something in the fridge, do a phone call, go to the toilets, read the news paper, instead of having to stay in front of the computer being attentive not missing the few seconds for selecting the option. [12:10] _Dbug_: well, if you only have a few seconds, perhaps you could change your menu.lst to give you more time or something, i really don't know. [12:10] i've got mine set for 30sec and it works fine. [12:10] <_Dbug_> Ok [12:11] _Dbug_: is that the issue, having to hit esc in like 3sec to get the grub menu, or you go right back to windows? [12:11] volk: I used the move function in winscp to move a file from the linux server to windows. It copied it but couldnt delete it and it threw an error, are files copy protected by default? [12:12] gRntLINUX: it is probably opened by some program [12:12] gRntLINUX: try killing/closing all programs that could use the file, including explorer some times and restart [12:12] <_Dbug_> IndyGunFreak, no, the issue is just that it always starts Linux by default. Even my Atari MegaSTE using XBoot remembers the last used configuration by default, instead of booting on the first one. I'm just surprised that it was not available. I guess I can still patch GRUB at some point to get that to work :) [12:12] gRntLINUX: if not then the file might be damaged and you might need to run chkdsk or something [12:13] hello all, i just installed ubuntu, but grub isn't picking up my windows install, i used the live cd, used manual to wipe out a 20 gb partition and make a 15.5 gig root partition and a 500mb swap. the windows install is still intact. how would i get windows (media center) in the boot list? [12:13] Micheru: explain your partition set up [12:14] When I boot into failsafe mode, I see lots of messages during bootup followed by the login screen, but if I boot normally, I get no video signal immediately after grub right until the login screen appears. Why is this and how do I make it show me the boot up messages? I just had my first 30 mount forced check and my screen was blank for 30 minutes! :| [12:14] ok on 1 hard drive i have a ~50 windows partition and a 15.5 linux and a 500mb swap, is there anything else you need? [12:15] well, sorta, but try this.., hold on. [12:15] ok [12:15] the device is hdc, dunno the partition numbers [12:16] Micheru: ok, is it windows XP?

[12:29] digitori: ok [12:29] Ballena ok [12:29] IndyGunFreak: did you see it? [12:29] digitori: there is a "Windows Network" icon in there [12:29] Micheru: looking now. [12:29] ok click it [12:30] user1: will most of my programs stay in memory before It finishes [12:30] Ballena: Click it [12:30] digitori: ok [12:30] Ballena: do you also have a windows machine on your network? [12:30] Abu-Aadam: this is your only drive? [12:31] Abu-Aadam: then you should use a livecd probably, otherwise system will stop working before finishing cleaning [12:31] the partition for the windows install appears to be hdc5 [12:31] digitori: there I found a icon called "mshome" and it contained a icon with the same name as my Ubuntu syste,. Yes there a re several Windows computer in this network too. [12:31] Micheru: ok... [12:31] Micheru: hdc, is how linux sees the drive, [12:31] user1: alright do I encrypt it from the live cd also> [12:31] Ballen: ah one sec [12:31] Micheru: Grub sees drives as hd0, hd1, hd2, etc.. [12:31] digitori: maybe I have to do somthing on my MAC to get Ubuntu to work with it? [12:32] what about the partitions? [12:32] Abu-Aadam: you have to have proper livecd, that supports used encryption mechanisms, usually it is easier to just encrypt 1 parition - for work documents etc [12:32] Ballena: This should help you http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2312p180id122932.htm [12:32] Micheru: partitions same way, in your grub list, where it says (hd0,0).. the second number is the partition.. you can try changing it to 5 [12:32] user1: does the ubuntu cd support that [12:32] digitori: ok thans :) [12:32] ok will do [12:32] Micheru: not sure how effective that will be though [12:32] please, can someone help me set up dualscreen? I dont have a clue. [12:33] !twinview | Nalleman [12:33] Nalleman: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [12:33] rebooting [12:33] Does anyone know how to set up file permissions in torrentflux. I need to set chmod 777 to a folder but I have been told any files added after the chmod dont take the same permissions. [12:33] Micheru: ok. [12:33] Nalleman: what tye of video card? [12:33] Ballena: your welcome [12:34] IndyGunFreak, intel 945"something" [12:34] Nalleman: good luck. [12:34] IndyGunFreak, ok? [12:34] Nalleman: i don't believe there's intel drivers for dual screen.. is this a dualhead card, [12:35] or two video cards, 1 onboard, one card, etc? [12:35] Does anyone know how to set up file permissions in torrentflux. I need to set chmod 777 to a folder but I have been told any files added after the chmod dont take the same permissions. [12:35] IndyGunFreak, i guess its one card. its in my laptop. it works great in Windows [12:35] IndyGunFreak: invalis device requested [12:35] Nalleman: because there's windows drivers [12:35] Micheru: ok. [12:36] Nalleman: if there wasn't a windows driver, it wouldn't work in Windows either [12:36] IndyGunFreak, ok, but to be honest. You dont have a clue if it works in ubuntu. [12:36] gRntLINUX: setting 777 I thought that was a no no [12:36] Nalleman: well, i've got dual screens setup on my PC, and I've had intel graphics before, [12:36] Nalleman: and i know there's no drivers for it. [12:37] they run on the default vga drivers. [12:37] hello [12:37] vesa [12:37] Morning IndyGunFreak [12:37] Ok. Better hold on to windows then... [12:37] hi can you try if linuxtv.org is up? here seema died [12:37] Jack_Sparrow: morning it is. [12:37] IndyGunFreak: here anyhow.. :) [12:37] Jack_Sparrow: Mate told me that gave me read and write access to it [12:37] :).. [12:37] IndyGunFreak: Sun is not up yet [12:38] Jack_Sparrow: here neither. [12:38] West coast here.. [12:38] What is the function of the loaded module 'video'? modinfo: "ACPI Video Driver." [12:38] Sorry for the offtopic people. [12:38] i really need this fixed, do you have any more ideas? [12:38] Micheru: i've not forgot you, still trying to figure this out. [12:38] ok [12:38] Jack_Sparrow: any good with grub? [12:38] Sometimes... whats up [12:39] Micheru: when you partitioned, did you put linux on the front side of the drive, or the backside? [12:39] Someone with virtualbox experience....how come my resolution will only go as far as 1024 x 768? [12:39] IndyGunFreak: front, thats where the blank partition was [12:39] Jack_Sparrow: he installed Gutsy, didn't pick up his XP install, i added a pretty garden variety entry to grub, and its still not booting. [12:39] Micheru: ah.. thats prolly gonna be the issue. [12:39] mikebeecham: that is the limit of vesa video driver.. start there.. no virt box experience here.. [12:40] the swap is between the linux and windows partition [12:40] Micheru: no.. windows pisses and moans when its not first, IIRC. [12:40] who of you can check if linuxtv.oeg web site is up? here from it is unreacble [12:40] IndyGunFreak: who... start with fdisk -l to see where it is [12:40] ya, [12:41] now see, fdisk -l does nothing for me. [12:41] ah, you need sudo. [12:41] Micheru: try this, sudo fdisk -l (note, thats a lowercase L) [12:41] IndyGunFreak: is there any way to move the windows partition, cause i don't have the install disks (it was a friends computer i have it while he is outta town and he accidentially packed the install disks) [12:41] ok [12:41] who of you can check if linuxtv.org web site is up? here from it is unreacble [12:41] IndyGunFreak: did he post it yet? sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt will get it to his desktop [12:42] Jack_Sparrow: i just told him to. [12:42] i will pastebin the output [12:42] Micheru: ok. [12:42] IndyGunFreak: I like this command line for maiking copy to the desktop with the date in the filename [12:42] Jack_Sparrow: never saw that one before, but its a good idea. [12:43] anyone know why this is in my network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local [12:43] might as well do cp /boot/grub/menu.lst ~/Desktop/menu.lst.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) at the same time [12:43] IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46430/ [12:43] Jack_Sparrow: here's his menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46428/ [12:44] IndyGunFreak: ugh, he is mixing ide and sata drives too [12:44] Jack_Sparrow: lol [12:45] Micheru: and hdc, you're sure thats the drive that has the Windows OS on it, right?.. [12:45] fea, fat 32 on sda is probably storage as I see it [12:45] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i think so, but i just wanted to make sure. [12:45] IndyGunFreak: the only other drive is an external drive [12:45] anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local [12:45] Micheru: oh ok, thats why its sda [12:46] Jack_Sparrow: i set his grub to look at hd0,5 seems to me it shoud work. [12:46] line rootnoverify (hd2,4) [12:46] remember they start at 0 [12:47] 0 = 1 [12:47] or first [12:47] right, but its the only drive int he system, the sda is external. [12:47] Sorry, still not entirely awakre [12:47] Micheru: did you see what Jack_Sparrowjust said? [12:47] yeah i will give it a go [12:48] Micheru: ok... [12:48] He cal also make a bunch of window entry combinations in that file and keep trying them [12:48] try hd2,4.. [12:48] IndyGunFreak: done [12:48] salve a tutti [12:48] Micheru: ok, give it a whirl. [12:48] rebooting again hehe [12:48] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, but i was thinking for sure it had to be hd0(first drive) [12:48] IndyGunFreak: HIs drive is not setup correctly to begin with... it should be hda [12:48] if 0=1 ( first ) then 0+0=1 ( first & second ) [12:48] Jack_Sparrow: ya, i know... [12:49] was just trying to get windows booted. [12:49] How do i check if i have GTK 2.2.x installed ? [12:49] anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local [12:49] GKT+ 2.2.x [12:50] i see what you;'re saying [12:50] asdf [12:50] kondrix: open synaptic package manager and search...dont know a quicker way [12:50] Goodnight Ubuntu [12:50] digitori: if i happen to find it and it will be in older version, can i update some how? [12:50] ls [12:50] oops [12:50] hi [12:50] must not have worked [12:51] IndyGunFreak: nope [12:51] i once reverted my fstab to ordinary devcice names.. [12:51] :) [12:51] invalid device [12:51] IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46432/ [12:51] now i'd like to go back to using UUIDs bcause it is a superiour scheme i guess [12:51] or whatever the wording is [12:51] being able to move HDs around etc.. [12:51] tapas: easy enough [12:51] You cant run a 32bit app on a x64_version of ubuntu unless you create a chroot? Hopefully this will work on later releases [12:51] kondrix: if its older and installed try using update manager see if you get an update for it. if not you could search for a newer deb package on the net [12:51] Jack_Sparrow: lol, [12:51] is all that's required replacing the device strings with the UUID vol_id reports? [12:52] pretty much [12:52] ciao prova [12:52] digitori: thanks. By saying "try using update manager" you mean the update manager inside synaptic? [12:52] Micheru: i guess you could do what jack suggested, and remember which one works, then delete the others. [12:52] Jack_Sparrow: do i have to take special care of grub? [12:52] Dont trust me too much until I have my first cup of coffee [12:52] IndyGunFreak: what did jack suggest? i missed it [12:52] which atm works find atm although my boot hd moved from hda to hdb ;) [12:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46432/ [12:53] tapas: you shouldnt no [12:53] and i still have to use (hd0,0) as root [12:53] Micheru: go tot he very bottom. [12:53] Hi folks [12:53] Jack_Sparrow: ok [12:53] a question: how to configure the boot process that /etc/init.d/cryptdisks will be started? [12:53] IndyGunFreak: ok i will stick er in [12:53] hmm, the fstab manpage doesn't mention uuid's [12:53] i wonder what's the right format [12:53] IndyGunFreak: did you see the edit I made on that to test the XP drive [12:53] is there some config where to activate it? Or how can i add it to the runlevel? [12:53] Micheru: see how he added all those entries, just keep rebooting, till you get one that works, remember which one it is, then remove the ones tha tdon't work. [12:53] Jack_Sparrow: yeah. [12:54] kondrix: System > Administration > Update Manager [12:54] Question : i need to customize my ubuntu desktop to like MAC [12:54] hai jack [12:54] ok here we go again [12:54] digitori; oh, i have everything up to date there, still think my GTK+, whatever that is, is older version [12:54] tapas: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda7 use your drive letter [12:54] Hi! anybody knows a tutorial that explain how define restrictions to a user in my pc?? sorry my bad english, i'm portuguese [12:54] :p [12:54] !themes | kartook [12:54] kartook: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [12:54] digitori: older then i need, older then 2.2.x [12:55] Anybody know of reviews of gutsy on ps3?

[12:58] yeah probably [12:58] kartook: are you using 32bit Ubuntu, or 64bit? [12:58] and cryptdisk? [12:58] kondrix: GTK+ is for creating graphical user interfaces [12:58] !restricted | kartook [12:58] kartook: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:58] they all got an error [12:58] well that blows.

[12:59] hello to everyone [12:59] thanks dude [12:59] !hi [12:59] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:59] good respounce from all [12:59] Hi everyone. [12:59] hello pls help. i have to hd one is ide and the other is sata, install my windows vista in sata and i instal ubuntu in my ide, how do i set up grub to boot on my my vista [12:59] 1. invalid or unsupported executable format 2,3,5 invalid device requested 4 selected disk does not exist [12:59] what a great mans and minds [12:59] hats off [12:59] IndyGunFreak: xp media center yes [12:59] Micheru: so you have an xp media center CD? [12:59] ı have question [12:59] kondrix: if you are running ubuntu 7.10 you should already have the gtk2 engines [13:00] ubuntu-tr is offline [13:00] no, my friend packed it by mistake when he left this computer with me [13:00] ok. [13:00] who must ı tell it to [13:00] !ask | OIM [13:00] !ask [13:00] OIM: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [13:00] * IndyGunFreak stares at IdleOne [13:01] * IdleOne points at IndyGunFreak [13:01] Jack_Sparrow: ah i can always use /dev/disk/by-uuid instead of the nromal device name [13:01] so i guess this fixes everythinjg:) [13:01] Micheru: part of the problem, is your partitions are a mess. [13:01] digitori : i am instaling emifreq-applet and it requires GTK+ 2.2.x [13:01] OIM, ask in #ubuntu-irc [13:02] I hate to see people mixing ide and sata.. it seems to slow my machines way down [13:02] well the ubuntu partition editor didn't leave me much choice [13:02] kondrix: what version ubuntu are you using [13:02] Micheru: i know.... its a Windows issue, not Ubuntu. [13:02] no not ırc [13:02] digitori: gutsy, so its 7.10 i guess [13:02] OIM: Seems to work for me here [13:02] ubuntu-tr.com is offline [13:02] Micheru: hold on, i'll show you my df -l output [13:02] where to get help on a pvr 1300 and mythtv? [13:03] kondrix: if you install emifreq_applet via synaptic it will take care of the dependancy for you [13:03] CZi_: mythtv has their own room [13:03] digitori: i didnt know i can do it via synaptics [13:03] Micheru: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46434/ [13:03] Jack_Sparrow, thx [13:04] kondrix: open synaptic and search for emifreq [13:04] looks much better than mine :/ [13:04] np.. note it make take awhile to get answers, be patient [13:04] salve [13:04] avrei un problemino [13:04] kondrix: its there...and just tick box and click apply [13:04] chi mi potrebbe aiutare? [13:04] .!it [13:04] !it [13:04] Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [13:04] digitori: crap, its in the synaptics to be found, but it was not in the "add/remove app" [13:04] so basically all i can do is get him to mail me the xpmc cd and reinstall? [13:04] tnx [13:04] kondrix: thats why i always use synaptic [13:04] Micheru: well, you could do that, but that would suck. [13:05] preggo [13:05] IndyGunFreak: majorly [13:05] Micheru: hang on a sec.... [13:05] ok [13:05] kondrix: its not in add remove as its not part of the main install repos [13:05] Jack_Sparrow: if he were to use a Gparted live Disk, and format all those partitions(except the main windows partition), could he then use Gparted to organize that drive properly? [13:05] kondrix: er i think [13:05] IndyGunFreak: my fdiak -l http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46435/ [13:05] Micheru: what you should do is reinstall ubuntu and have it format the entire disk removing windows and enjoy the freedom [13:06] kondrix: dont blow your CPU [13:06] digitori; kinda strange there are 2 groups of programs to be installed, one in "start" menu and the other in syaptic. Kinda confusing [13:06] IdleOne: not possible [13:06] Jack_Sparrow: do you think that would work? [13:06] i have way to many things i do i nwindows i can't in linux [13:07] digitori i want to keep it slow, working on laptop, and dont like the noise [13:07] IndyGunFreak: I would fdisk /mbr fixmbr to get back to basic windows... then boot live and delete/clean up partitions.. add spare ext3 for his /home [13:07] i gotta go to bed :/ i will come back in the morning [13:07] kondrix: why confusing? just use synaptic it wont do any harm with apps installed by add remove...they all show up in synaptic anyhow [13:07] Jack_Sparrow: ok, so we're on the same page. [13:07] Micheru: lol, we were just figuring it out. [13:07] Micheru: You will learn other ways in here [13:07] digitori thanks for help, i installed . Gtg, will check later if it worked. Do you use any instant messenger ? [13:07] where's the Ubuntu bugreporting site ? [13:07] Is there any voodoo to getting rhythmbox notifications working? The checkbox is ticked... [13:08] kondrix: usually kopete for msn [13:08] Micheru: just leave unallocated space for ubuntu and let the installer set it up for you.. better to not do it manually [13:08] ok i can stay a little longer [13:08] digitori give me your number or whatever, so i dont loose touch with you [13:08] kondrix: your welcome.....maybe not best but for messenger but my choice [13:08] Jack_Sparrow: fdisk /mbr that has to be ran from the terminal, correct?\ [13:08] I am trying to compile gtk and having some problems... can anyone have a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46436/ [13:08] Micheru: well, this will take a while. [13:08] IndyGunFreak: actually windows boot floppy [13:08] oneonezero10@hotmail.com [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: thats what i thought [13:09] Micheru: funny you shouyld say that because I have way to many things I do in linux that I cant do in windows. [13:09] IndyGunFreak: or xp cd [13:09] Micheru: do you have a windows boot floppy by chance? [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: no xp cd. [13:09] no... [13:09] kondrix: Im gonna be in here a lot anyhow [13:09] hmm [13:09] IndyGunFreak: I have an image of one if needed.. you can create it with linux to fix xp [13:09] digitori: all right, double thanks to you then [13:09] Jack_Sparrow: an image of a boot floppy? [13:10] yep... [13:10] kondrix: your welcome [13:10] Micheru: there you go. [13:10] you'd have to put it on a blank cd or something, but it should work. [13:10] bootdisk.com has some too [13:10] Right maybe my turn anyomne help me out her...not my expertise anyone know why this is seen in my ubuntu network folder: dnssd-local-SFTP File Transfer on pc-00249._sftp-ssh._tcp.local [13:10] i have never used a windows boot floppy, or any boot floppy for that mater [13:11] Micheru: all you ahve tod o is when you get the DOS prompt, run fixboot and fixmbr [13:11] IndyGunFreak: it will boot to DOS prompt and type that one line... see restoring windows... [13:11] !grub [13:11] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:11] that will clear the master boot record, and boot you straight to windows. [13:11] thats it? [13:11] Jack_Sparrow: right, i've done it before. [13:11] then what? will grub be working corectly or is there more? [13:11] Micheru: makes it not even see that ubunt was there [13:11] Micheru: no, there will be no grub. [13:11] it will boot like linux wasn't ever installed. [13:12] Ok guys will try again later, see ya, have a nice day!! [13:12] so basically i reinstall linux? [13:12] Micheru: that flushed ubuntu/grub from boot sector [13:12] Micheru: yes, but before you reinstall, you need to make some sense of those partitions. [13:12] and pull the sata out during the install [13:12] i have no idea how to move a partition === bjorn_ is now known as Bjorn__ [13:13] i only know the kill it all and start new approach [13:13] probably why this failed [13:13] Micheru: you won't have to move it.. becuawe you're going delete all those partitions that arent in use. [13:13] Is there a way to set a chmod lvl in a folder so any future files that go into it adopt the same chmod? [13:13] format them as ntfs, it will see your drive as one big drive. [13:13] ?? [13:14] Micheru: what do you not understand? [13:14] Micheru: what was the link to your partition table again? [13:14] why wouldn't have several ntfs partitions? [13:14] ill check my logs, if i turned them on [13:14] IndyGunFreak: that kinda confused me too [13:14] Jack_Sparrow: :) [13:14] nope hmm [13:14] i forget [13:14] what was the command again? [13:14] Jack_Sparrow: my point is, get it down to 1 partition, NTFS. [13:15] Micheru: sudo fdisk -l [13:15] meh [13:15] why bother repartitioning drives anyway? [13:15] disks are cheap [13:15] gordonjcp: well, he doens't have an XP disk. [13:15] 50 quid for a 320G SATA [13:15] but yes, hard drives are cheap. [13:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46438/ [13:15] seriously, my time is worth more [13:16] anybody there?

[14:23] using the 'mount' command. [14:23] mount your horse [14:24] Jack_Sparrow, no I just used the ubuntu generated xorg.conf and replaced nv with nvidia, that xorg.conf was set up before restricted-drivers-manager even existed [14:24] Davo_Dinkum: I came up with a cool naming scheme for my network, BBQ related. "frothies", "eyefillet", "kebabs", "snags" :) [14:24] if I wanted to setup an edubuntu like ltsp on ubuntu what packages would I install ? ltsp-server, ltsp-server-standalone or something else ?
