[00:00] kelsin: my domain name is resolving to the old ip [00:00] lufis, nasty. [00:00] my Gyachi-E 1.1.0 works great ...except I cant get sound in the yahoo room tho?? [00:00] :P [00:00] probably due to caching at your isp's nameserver? [00:00] Ominous, probably caching at the name server end. [00:00] Ominous: dns changes take a while to propegate [00:00] Ominous, when did you change it? [00:00] I get this message saying [00:00] “Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files: [00:00] about 1h ago [00:01] Ominous, it can take up to 36 hours to propagate [00:01] Ominous: "dig your.web.address" to find out what your nameservers are responding with [00:01] tsd32.dll and tssoft.acm .... are missing or not in the right folder or place ?? [00:01] ls [00:01] but im in Ubuntu 7.10 gusty .... .deb [00:01] [00:03] I get error message: could not connect to video device in camorama. But webcam works fine in cheese. Whats wrong? [00:04] somebody use compiz and avant-window-navigator, the processing is very slow? [00:05] i found avant-window-navigator a bit slow.. and well.. not very useable on my system. so i dident try it for more then 20 min. [00:05] would i be ok to uncomment this in sysctl.conf > net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1 [00:06] guys, swiftfox vs. netscape 9 [00:06] which would be quicker? [00:07] whats the link to video config [00:07] echosystm, ive never seen any decent info on how to even 'test/benchmark' how fast a browser is. [00:07] I'm having problems installing java, when I try to run a program i get an exception with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, I think i'm missing PATHS but I dont know what I need [00:07] Dr_willis: when i use compiz and i am using firefox the system lock few seconds. i am using gutsy [00:07] can anyone help? [00:08] gmonnerat, does it never lockup when you got compiz dissabled? [00:08] mellery: you need your classpath env variable to contain whatever jar or file you need to run, what program are you trying to run? [00:09] how do I play a dvd in gutsy? What is the update or upgrade [00:09] kelsin, thanks for the reply, its reprap-host.sh [00:09] mellery: you can also set the classpath on the java command line with the -cp flag, ussually java programs come with some sort of shell script to start them with the right classpath, where didyou install this from? [00:09] I got it from sourceforge [00:10] !dvd > wsv123456 (read the private message from ubotu) [00:10] juano__, ok when I booted Ubuntu know it did ask me for the wpa, but it still didn't connect [00:10] kelsin: sourceforge [00:10] whats the best desklets app? [00:11] Tim__ ok, check to see if you have TKIP , did you select it ? [00:11] jgrout: gdesklets [00:11] mellery: are you running it from the folder where reprap.jar is> [00:11] mellery: ? [00:11] kelsin, yes [00:11] Tim__ when it connects it should show some blue bars instead of the ordinary network manager icon [00:11] jgrout: Check out gdesklets.de for more desklets. [00:11] thanks [00:12] mellery: did you install java from the ubuntu package? sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre? [00:12] can anyone answer an ndiswrapper question for me [00:12] juano__, no I selected WPA. yes I know how ir looks like when it works, but it only spins the balls on my install, except every tenth time or so, then it shows 1 blue bar but still doesn't work [00:12] jgrout: np; The GoodWeather desklet is very cool-you should check it out. [00:12] naelr: best to just ask the question and find out [00:12] kazol: will do [00:12] kelsin, when I type java -cp I get -cp requires class path specification, and I'm using sun-java5-jre from the ubuntu repository [00:13] which brand of graphics card should i chose for my linux box? [00:13] should i need to recomplie ndsiwrapper for a newer kernel.. say 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 [00:13] juano__, under the livecd or when it used to work on my real install it alwys showed three bars after succesfully connecting [00:13] I get error message: could not connect to video device in camorama. But webcam works fine in cheese. Whats wrong? [00:13] mellery: well in this case the program is only one jar and it's specified in the sh script with -jar on the command line, so defining a classpath isn't your issue in this case [00:13] juano__, so I should look whether I can select TKIP and try it with that? [00:13] Dr_willis: Once or twice, but when it is with compiz and avant-window-navigator occurs more often . i don't believe that this occurs because of compiz or avant , but occurs more often [00:13] jgrout: http://www.gdesklets.de/index.php?q=desklet/view/171 kelsin: the script has java -Xmx384M -jar Reprap.jar [00:14] Tim__ yes cause if your router is configured with WPA/WPA2 with TKIP there is an option in the same connect prompt window below the menu where you select wpa which lets you select TKIP [00:15] mellery: I know, I just downloaded it, so the error is this javax/vecmath/Tuple3d error? [00:15] juano__, ok I'll try it out, and report after rebootin... [00:15] kelsin, correct [00:15] Still having a problem with Synaptic freezing when I try to save settings using the preferences dialog. [00:16] mellery: asl? [00:17] tony_math: what version do you have [00:17] Hey there, I was wondering. Is it safe to update Feisty's video driver to the new ATI one? My computer has the ATI x1400 video card and I know that's always had issues with Ubuntu. [00:17] kazol: is the location code my zip? [00:17] * Pelo wonders who gave FloodBot1 ops [00:17] fi you can do it go for it [00:17] john-mike, you can try , do you know how to recover if it doesn't work ? [00:17] should i need to recomplie ndsiwrapper for a newer kernel.. say 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 [00:17] No :( [00:17] john-mike: back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and give it a try. (backing up that file means you can restore to your existing setup) [00:18] john-mike, boot the recovery mode and enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the vesa driver, then you will be able to boot gui and reinstall the driver you had before [00:18] Hi everyone [00:18] I got a little , big problem [00:18] john-mike, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backupYYYYMMDD [00:18] I just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 [00:18] KnickLighter, don't make us beg, just tell us what it is [00:19] ye i was starting [00:19] so well [00:19] !enter | KnickLighter [00:19] KnickLighter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:19] But I get errors, it wont start [00:19] Ah, ok. thanks guys! [00:19] Ok ok here i go: === rbs-tito_ is now known as rbs-tito [00:19] jgrout, probably.. i have the x1300 and it wouldn't work [00:20] %C8 hello [00:20] I just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, but I get errors, it won't start, like : Exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen - and Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 .. So it gets me to a shell called "busybox" which is useless to me.. I'd appreciate any help :) [00:20] how do i get a list of irc channels in pidgen [00:20] * Pelo has got to find a new way to spend his saturday evenings [00:20] knicklighter new install opr upgade [00:20] KnickLighter, do you have your /home folder on a seperate partition ? [00:21] hmmm no [00:21] n/m [00:21] On the main disk, where ubuntu is. [00:21] Babble, try /list or /channel in the server window if there is such a thing in pidgin [00:22] KnickLighter, start by searching the error msg in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org , that might yeild some info [00:22] mellery: yeah that vecmath library is not installed by default in ubuntu, trying to find out how to instlal it now, but I don't know [00:22] hello, are there ubuntu flash ads available to use? [00:22] Is it true that I can just swap my hard drive with ubuntu on it into a whole other computer and it will, more or less, work? [00:22] I tried google, But thank's ill take a look and let you guys know if it helped me [00:22] people who advertise with flash should be beaten with shovels [00:22] kelsin, thanks, i can find it, I know what the real problem is now. thanks for the help! [00:22] KnickLighter, but I am afraid you will need to reinstall, making a seperate partiton and copying your /home folder to it will be of great help in the future for such cirucmstances [00:22] !source [00:22] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [00:22] Javid, i like it - its easier to block their ads. :) [00:23] how can i get ubuntus source code [00:23] tuxthepenguin533: ubotu just told you [00:23] Javid, it might , I will say no more [00:23] I am unable to get Tracker to search my drive. It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results. I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing. I'm searching with tracker-search-tool. Any ideas? [00:23] Dr_willis, makes no difference to me, but I suppose that may be true [00:23] game: the version is 0.60ubuntu5. I'm running Gutsy [00:23] Pelo, that's better than windows does, so it's good enough :] [00:23] Javid, i get so sick of those 'click the monkey' ads :) [00:23] mellery: http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepRapLinuxSoftware this might help [00:23] Dr_willis, I have not seen an ad in years, firefox is my special love monkey [00:24] jgrout: Yes [00:24] Javid, windows isn't even garantied to work in the same computer if you do nothing to it [00:24] Yea i thought of that too, Pelo [00:24] Javid, Shame! you are the reason the internet is going broke! :P [00:24] I don't have much important things on my server.. Well, I might, but I don't think I will miss them. [00:24] how can i get ubuntus source code [00:24] Pelo, this is true, but no linux drivers exist for my video capture hardware, so I may need to switch, I plan to just swap out the drives as needed rather than dualbooting [00:25] tuxthepenguin533, on the www.ubuntu.com site, somewhere [00:25] hey. is beryl in the respiratories? because i do not find it :( [00:25] kex, it was last I looked [00:25] juano__, ok the apparantly the wpa was a one time thing, I rebooted a few times and it only asks me for wep again [00:25] kex, apt-cache search beryl [00:25] tuxthepenguin533: if you have an ubuntu install you can also get the source for any package with "apt-get source " [00:25] this is driving me crazy :( [00:25] Tim__ me too [00:25] Javid, i dont find it in the synaptic, ok ill try that [00:25] Javid, you can use windows driver in ubuntu using ndiswrapper , not sure it will work for your videocapture hardware but it is worth exploring [00:25] just see on some website an ubuntu ad (a small movie, people pushing a chair with "you got better things to do at the office" [00:25] kelsin: where would the source code be placed [00:26] Tim__ so it appears randomly at boot-time [00:26] are these ads available somewhere? [00:26] tuxthepenguin533: it will download the source code for the package into the current directory [00:26] Pelo, ndis is for wireless drivers [00:26] Tim__ you login as same user everytime ? [00:26] Javid, only ? [00:26] Javid, that command gave me nothing [00:26] juano__, yes [00:26] tuxthepenguin533: it does now save where it downloaded, just gives you the files, you can remove when you want etc [00:26] Pelo, as far as I know, the 'n' means network [00:26] kex, where did you do that [00:26] Tim__ from windows you are able to connect to the wireless without and trouble ? [00:26] Javid, terminal [00:27] juano__, yes, and also from the ubuntu livecd [00:27] kex, you may not have the right repositories, ask in #ubuntu-effects [00:27] i tried searching the ubuntu sie but did not get any search results [00:27] LOGAN, what were yo searching for ? [00:27] Javid, ok thank you :) [00:27] I have about eight billion unofficial repositories added, so because I have it may mean nothing to others [00:28] I really need a script for this channel that will make my conversations with others go into PM-like windows so I can keep up with the spam x.x [00:28] Tim__ mm its amazing that you can connect from the livecd and not from your installed ubuntu... [00:28] Tim__ there is wpa_supplicant.conf file [00:29] juano__, yep, it makes me believe that some config is broke in my home dir, but I have no idea what [00:29] Javid, make one, pearl is good for that [00:29] Javid: as long as you and others you are conversing with include the nicknames at the front, most clients highlight lines nicely [00:29] pelo I just seen an ubuntu advertisement on www.itbusinessedge.com some blog had a movie, Im looking for these movie ads for ubuntu [00:29] kelsin, I know this, I'm just feeling scripty [00:29] Tim__ yea that would be the most accurate... but still can't think of what [00:29] Pelo, see above :D [00:29] LOGAN, they may not be official [00:29] Pelo, I hate perl, I'm gonna do it in mirc, wish xchat had a plugin for that [00:30] <_seanc_> Hi, quick question. I have a dual core processor, someone mentioned that I'd need to recompile my applications for dual core support, true or false? [00:30] Javid: these is also a script for irssi that makes a highlight window that gets any hightlighted messages in it, can help out too [00:30] juano__, where is that wpa_supplicant.conf? [00:30] pelo but it was a great ad, does ubuntu have ads people can use? [00:30] tuxthepenguin533: without having checked: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/source/ [00:30] _seanc_: false [00:30] Javid, you can do python to , xchat handles it as well [00:30] Ha ha, I'm back. Ok, I updated the ATI driver. How do I make sure that's what's being used by the computer right now? [00:30] Pelo, I know xchat does everything imaginable, but it doesn't do mirc ^^ [00:30] LOGAN, not realy sure , I don't know that part of it , I'm just your basic helpfull home user [00:30] I now see another ad of ubuntu with coffee mugs [00:31] logan, on what page [00:31] hi, ive just started using ubuntu... can someone help me? im running ms xp atm because im having trouble connecting to my wireles router using ubuntu... any help would be very much appreciated [00:31] * Pelo woudn'T do mIRC if you paid him [00:31] !wireless | SwitchCase [00:31] SwitchCase: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:31] juano__, I will set up a new user account and test if it works with that one [00:31] Pelo, I spent years with it, I have it doing things it really isn't supposed to, I love it [00:31] thanks ubotu [00:31] LOGAN, check in the fridge section I think it is called, loads of user made stuff in there [00:31] Pelo, I'm weird like that [00:32] Tim__ sure try that... i thought it was in the /etc/ there is a dir in /etc/ called wpa_supplicant but that file doesn't show up [00:32] http://www.itbusinessedge.com/blogs/osb/index.php/blogs/osb/index.php it shows sometimes inhere [00:32] should i need to recomplie ndsiwrapper for a newer kernel.. say 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 [00:32] Javid, complian to markham ( I think that's his name) get him to port to linux [00:32] <_seanc_> tritium: sweet, so the applications will automatically utilize the dual core? [00:32] I already seen 2 different ones [00:32] LOGAN: you can find these videos on youtube also [00:32] Pelo, it runs in wine, but a lot of the add-ons don't, no way around this [00:33] LOGAN, I assume if I have ad block plus I won't see it ? [00:33] hi [00:33] hi [00:33] !hi | hellsdark [00:33] hellsdark: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:33] Is Somebody using rtorrent ? [00:33] Pelo, I think we can generally rage against closed source software in general and call it good [00:33] how to install soundblaster xi fi in ubuntu 7.04 [00:34] Pelo : I dont know. I dont use adblocks :) [00:34] _seanc_: yes [00:34] pelo, logan, I don't see it either [00:34] kelsin : aah thanks Ill check there. hope they are downloadable [00:34] hellsdark: just ask your question [00:34] I've just installed all the extra effects with cube and such. But have not figured out yet how to wright with fire, anyone can help me ? [00:34] Javid, I don't rage against close source, I have no problem with close source I just tried ubuntu after years of bitching about windows and found it to be a pleasurable computing experience, so I stuck with it [00:34] they are mixed between IBM adds and other adds that rotate [00:34] i would like to use rtorrent via ssh but just in order to see the download status [00:35] Pelo, me too, minus the bitching. I run about 50/50 ubuntu/xp on my computers [00:35] hellsdark: I would use screen [00:35] * Pelo 's got adblock+ and that thing that stops java and flash from starting automaticaly, browsing is now very enjoyable [00:35] hellsdark: you type screen, then once inside screen you run rtorrant and start your downloads, then you "disconnect" from this session by typing Ctrl-A D. [00:35] kelsin: yes, but what about the rtorrent running ? [00:35] pelo, me too, plus user agent switcher, so people can't block me for that either [00:35] I'm still in rehab!! Windows get you hooked! Now I'm in rehab! And gonna stay (windows)clean from now on :-D [00:35] hellsdark: later when you ssh in, you type "screen -r" and reconnect to that session [00:36] kelsin: can i have several rtorrent running ? [00:36] <_seanc_> tritium: you sir, are my hero. [00:36] I've just installed all the extra effects with cube and such. But have not figured out yet how to wright with fire, anyone can help me ? [00:36] <_seanc_> thanks! [00:36] hmm. i wonder if my flash probs tie in with ab+ [00:36] hellsdark: why would you want to? :) but you could I guess [00:36] Does anyone know how I can check what driver I'm using for my video card? [00:36] deal_: err. fire/flame whatever plugin? [00:36] non-free Flash 9 is a PITA. [00:36] Javid, I almost never boot xp anymore, I just need to find a decent autocad alternative and i'll never boot windows again [00:36] riotkittie: Gimme 2 sec, I'll check. [00:36] kelsin: in order to not disturb the rtorrent that is running, i don't want to close it :p [00:36] john-mike: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver [00:36] hellsdark: rtorrent handles multiple torrent files simulatneously as it is [00:36] john-mike: i think you cant check your xorg.conf [00:36] hellsdark: you mean the one that's running right now? [00:36] kelsin: i know [00:36] kelsin: yes [00:37] Hey! anyone ever had problems with a broadcom wireless chip, which connects to the router but says in /var/log/messages "no IPv6 routers found" (no wonder, my router doesn't support ipv6, but my computer should then revert to ipv4, right?) [00:37] hellsdark: just stop it with ctrl-q quickly, and then restart, it takes a second to get back up to speed, but it doesn't download anyhthing twice [00:37] pelo, hmm, my cad stuff runs in wine pretty well (better than on vista actually) [00:37] riotkittie: Directly translated from norwegian would be 'paint fire on screen' =) [00:37] Javid, acad does not run well on wine at all , what cad stuff ar you using ? [00:37] howdy - it seems trackerd isn't indexing my emails. my tracker config has enablethunderbird set, tho - do i need to change the session so that it runs trackerd --enable-thunderbird too or somesuch? [00:37] kelsin: kelsin hum i think i'll kill it and use screen as you said [00:38] Pelo, a much simpler program built for the machines I use, it will run on just about anything win95+ [00:38] hellsdark: screen is a great great tool, look up some of the tutorials about it, it will help in MANY situations esp if you ssh alot, this irssi session is in screen for me, so when I go to work I just connect to it [00:38] Hmmm...says 'fglrx'. That's not the new ATI driver, is it? [00:38] I'm googling trying to find a workaround my problem, but just guessed someone here might have come across it before. [00:38] Good night [00:38] kelsin: yep, i read about it. It just would be easier to launch another rtorrent to see my torrents [00:38] john-mike: errr. are you looking for actual version number? [00:38] john-mike: fglrx could be either the new ati driver or the old one, they are both called fglrx [00:38] Javid, ah well, I kind of have to keep up to date, acad 2006 was a complete bust, acad 14 was very clunky, I won'T even try 13 , it ran like crap on windows to begin with [00:39] Are You want listen my ubuntu radio? [00:39] hellsdark: then you'd have to program rtorrant to find another version of itself on startup to just report status, since it doesn't have those features by default [00:39] Pelo, I use a lot of older programs, like photoshop 7 and winamp2 [00:39] Ah....well, I'm sure I'm probably running the new one then. The system update doesn't show it as needing updating anymore. [00:39] you want to see 8.42.3 in the version string [00:39] kelsin: yep ^^ [00:39] but i'll warn you you're still gonna be disappointed, amd has made a vast improvement but they have a long way to go to even come close to nvidia [00:39] http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg [00:40] kelsin: I found the java3d.jar file the reprap page links to is really an html file not the real java3d.jar, that will fix my problem [00:40] kelsin: it would be nice to have some commands to see the status [00:40] I can't ssh into my computer from outside my network. I have portforwarding on my router. Does anyone know how to solve this? [00:40] Javid, I don't realy do raster and for what little knowledge of photoshop I had to begin with, using gimp instead doesn'T make much of a difference for me [00:40] ugh. back to X i go. brb [00:40] I have having a problem with resolution [00:40] spydon: you need to portforward port 22 to your internal ip, then just "ssh user@external.ip.address" from your outside location === T1m is now known as T1m0thy [00:40] Pelo, everyone I know in graphics would line up to defecate on the gimp's headstone, were it a person and not a program [00:40] Ive read through the guide on wireless networking but the problem im having does not seem to be covered... can someone please help? [00:41] I am at the right resolution, 1280x720, but the edges of the screen are cut off [00:41] hi. is ubuntu a good linux distribution for a beginner? [00:41] already done that kelsin [00:41] weee. reason 317 that i love screen. [00:41] lars03, yes it is [00:41] * Pelo 's got a torrent stuck at 99.9% and the swarm is stuck at 0.999, damit [00:41] lars03: yes. [00:41] lars03: compared to other linux's yes [00:41] I am using a 42inch samsung tv [00:41] port start 22 port stop 22 server ip 192.168.1.39, kelsin [00:41] lars03, yes it is , very freindly, use ubuntu not kubuntu to start with , you'll be very pleasantly surprised [00:41] spydon: what msg are you getting when you try to ssh from outside? [00:41] Hi, I'm running VirtualBox w/ XP and every time before I can boot XP I have to change permissions to /dev/vboxdrv by running sudo nautilus in terminal then locating the file and change the permissions every time after reboot? is there an easier way to permanently change permission to files? [00:42] sirbob: wow, that has to suck. i'll trade you a 15" CRT. because i'm kind. [00:42] hi people [00:42] Connection refused [00:42] Connection refused [00:42] kelsin: connection refused [00:42] http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg please [00:42] blackvd: did you add yourself to the virtualbox/vbox/whatever group? [00:42] should I get the latest version, 7.10? [00:42] blackvd, that would be a question for the vbox ppl, in #vbox or in #vb , not sure which [00:42] can someone help me with connecting to a wireless router?? please? [00:42] lars03, we like it , go for it [00:42] oops sorry [00:42] its not really about vbox tho [00:43] spydon: some stupid questions: are you sure you have the external ip correct? and secondly do you have a cable modem or other device between your router and modem? [00:43] what's the command line forget , install ATI driversor settings?! [00:43] its about how i can permanently change file permissions [00:43] blackvd, but they are more likely to know about the issue and how to fix it [00:43] is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? [00:43] How can I activate more desktops to distribute my work on? I've set it to two, but want four! [00:43] blackvd: you can probably do that with a udev rule, it's not a permission on a normal file, it's a /dev file [00:43] blackvd, sudo chmod ..... [00:43] lars03: it is recommended to stick to the newer versions always, because it has the lastest fixes of bugs [00:43] chmod a+x? [00:43] * Pelo buts out [00:43] did you add yourself to the virtualbox group? [00:44] lars03: and it is recommended to update every once in a while [00:44] how do i add to that group? [00:44] what's command line for ATI setting?! [00:44] blackvd, read what kelsin said [00:44] hi i'm thinking about trying ubuntu on my notebook, but i want duel boot with my windows. [00:44] Could it be do to it having a low resoluton for its size versus a normal monitor? [00:44] can anyone suggest how much disk space i need on each partition? [00:44] due* [00:44] hi [00:44] blackvd: go to users/groups under System > Admin [00:44] Yes im sure I have the external IP correct because if I write it in an browser I get to my router like I would do with my internal router IP too and no I just have broadband modem and router, kelsin [00:44] blackvd: but also check about that group, that might solve the problem more elegantly, if there is a group you can add yourself to to give permissions on that file [00:44] digitalsky: duel is right [00:44] should I get 64 bit version? I have 64 bit cpu (c2d) [00:44] digitalsky: how much space so you have? [00:45] blackvd: then Manage Groups. make sure you're in vboxusers group. [00:45] lars03: yes, if you have a 64 bit cpu [00:45] How can I activate more desktops to distribute my work on? I've set it to two, but want four! [00:45] lars03: sometimes it's harder to find software for 64 [00:45] yea i'm trying to migrate to linux but need to use some xp apps still... 40GB [00:45] digitalsky, 10 gig at least if you do one, I have 3 gig used for / right now, 2xram for swap, /home at your discretion [00:45] my data can reside on another netowrk drive, [00:45] spydon: can you ssh to localhost? just "ssh localhost" [00:45] yeah i'm in the vboxusers group [00:45] how much ram? [00:45] lars03: I got a 64b also..but I use x86 just because of that [00:45] juano__: ok a new user didn't work either [00:45] hm 10 GBs [00:45] how much ram do you have? [00:45] yes I can, kelsin [00:46] tim1__: i was gonna suggest before you rebooted that you might wanna try loading nm-applet with sudo permissions [00:46] !ati |x [00:46] x: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:46] dana_bad me? 4GB [00:46] digitalsky, you can install ubuntu on 10 gig , but if you do multiple partitons I recommend 5-10 gig for / [00:46] danbhfive* [00:46] tim1__: gksudo nm-applet [00:46] 768MB [00:46] does anybody know why i can connect to my wireless router but nothing happens... its seems my network car has found an connected to it but im not sending or recieving anything... im prompted for a wpa pass but when i enter the correct pass nothing happens... any help would be very much appreciated [00:46] no, digitalsky, sorry [00:46] tim1__: but i think the problem is a little far off this [00:46] 768MB RAM i mean === neuro|irssi is now known as neuro_ [00:46] !wifi | SwitchCase [00:46] SwitchCase: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:46] spydon: are you able to ssh to an outside network then try to ssh into yours to make sure it's not some wierd issue about sshing to an external ip from your internal box? [00:46] I will now completely reinstall ubuntu (new /home aswell) and if that doesn't work I'll just stop trying [00:46] digitalsky, about 1.5 gig swap them [00:46] then [00:47] tim1__, don'T get discouraged [00:47] Ok. DOes ubuntu even let me create/install partitions? I've never tried to duel boot [00:47] digitalsky: well, the 10g partitions isnt bad advice, you should have a swap space too [00:47] pelo: yes.. i read the docs but cant find any info on this particualr problem [00:47] digitalsky: yes [00:47] tim1__: first you should boot with livecd and check what settings are configured [00:47] yes im able to do that kelsin, because i accidentelly typed ssh spydon@me.is-a-geek.net [00:47] tim1__: if it works with livecd, then see what makes it work [00:48] Pelo: I'm struggling now for days with gutsy and whenever I solve a problem two new pop up, the whole process is very discouraging [00:48] kelsin: and it worked, but i didn't know the password ofc [00:48] anyone know why ubuntu uses so much memory? it didn't used to use this much [00:48] is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? [00:48] digitalsky, the instaler will let you do it when you get to that step , youcan just select to manualy partion or select the partiton, not sure how it is worded, as far as the dual booting geos, the isntaller will make a boot menu with all the oses it sees automaticaly [00:48] I would really like to continue using Ubuntu (I us it since warty) but it just doesn#t seem to work anymore [00:48] danbhfive: if you've got effects on could be it [00:48] tim1__, what was the latest one ? [00:48] spydon so if that worked, what is the problem? [00:48] <[KEMANUSIAN][INS> linux for a free humanity [00:48] spydon: if the only problem is you can't ssh to your external ip from the internal network, that's probably not a big problem [00:48] I can't connect to my own computer from another network... kelsin [00:49] pelo: any idea? [00:49] tim1__, you can always go back to feisty if that worked better for you you will get updates for another year or so [00:49] hi there [00:49] spydon: ok sorry, I must have misunderstood, I thouht I asked if you checked from an external ip and you just said it worked [00:49] are there ubuntu packages for the latest flash 9 release somewhere? [00:49] Pelo: my system randomly froze and I had to do a hard reboot, then I completely reinstalled Ubuntu ebcause nobody could help me with that and now wireless doesn't work [00:49] can anybody knows a good download manager to ubuntu?? i love dap for windows... [00:49] SwitchCase, try searching the forum I'm not very good with wifi stuff , www.ubuntuforums.org [00:49] tim1__: I had also that problem [00:49] ok thanks [00:49] oh sorry I missunderstood you I think, kelsin :P [00:49] tim1__: while using ubuntu 7.10 [00:49] i can't find a really good for linux [00:50] so on my 40GB drive, 20GB Windows, 15GB linux, 2 GB swap, 3 GB data would be ok? [00:50] attickid: what did you do, downgrade? [00:50] tim1__, make your /home on a seperate partiton , that way you wonT' loose your data if/when you need to clean install [00:50] tim1__: I fix it..installing the newest nvidia driver directly from nvidia website.. [00:50] spydon: have you tried ssh'ing to some other box somewhere on the internet (maybe a school lab or work machine, anything) then trying to ssh to your computer? [00:50] scguy318: interesting, but its not it, i just checked, and they are off [00:50] chester_martins, didyou check in the add/remove applet ? [00:51] attickid: it also crashed when I used the vesa driver... [00:51] what is the 3g data for? [00:51] well docs that i need... like doc, xls, etc [00:51] kelsin: nope I haven't, but i have been at my school trying to SSH to my homecomp and it didn't work, connection refused there too [00:51] chester_martins: from firefox you have downthemall! [00:51] currently i'm using about 1.5 GB. [00:52] Hi, I'm trying to dual boot XP and Ubuntu. Have XP already installed. Trying to add Ubuntu 7.10 to the 3rd HD (XP is on #1 HD). Each install I try ends with an eventual Grub Error 21. Any suggestions? [00:52] Pelo: I have /home on a different partition, but when I downgrade to feisty I will miss applications like miro and some configuration files won't be read by the older applications (like rhythmbox databse) [00:52] spydon: did you install the ssh server on yoru home machine? [00:52] I am unable to get Tracker to search my drive. It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results. I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing. I'm searching with tracker-search-tool. Any ideas? [00:52] chester_martins: an add-on that resumes.. etc [00:52] Pelo: before I downgrade I rather switch distributions [00:52] if 10GB for linux is enough, 15 should be pretty good then right? [00:52] tritium: Yes :P [00:52] tim1__: when I googled ..I read some people fixing it jsut by installing all the updates.. [00:52] yeah, 15 is more than enough [00:52] digitalsky, the / in ubuntu will isntall at about 2.5 gig you won't realy need 15 gig [00:52] is there a LiveUSB version of Ubuntu? [00:52] oh really [00:52] hm what about apps? [00:52] tim1__: do u have a nvidia card? [00:52] wondering the same thing as Scorch [00:53] i mainly want just open office, web browsing, email [00:53] .. [00:53] Ok cool I got it! had to add myself to the group then restartx >_> [00:53] spydon: Then I'm at a loss, the port forward of port 22 is all you should need. I would double check that the external ip address is actually hitting your router, can you bring up your router's page from your school on that ip etc [00:53] attickid: yes, but I did a clean install anyway, now it's wireless that isn't working [00:53] tim1__, did you try installing with the alternate install cd, it usualy does a better job [00:53] i don't know why I'm using 15 GB in my xp now... don't know where the space has gone [00:53] hello [00:53] digitalsky: you probably gave it to ubuntu on accident [00:53] there is also an i386 DVD you can use [00:53] hmph. [00:53] ok Pelo [00:53] I know ive already tried that, it so weird! Thx for your help anyway, kelsin :) [00:53] Having a problem with Bluetooth - every time I try to connect to my mobil phone I get this error: "obex://[00:1b:59:b8:4a:03]" is not a valid location." Blue tooth is on on my phone and my phone appears in the list of devices... What gives? [00:54] IndyGunFreak: I don't have ubuntu on it yet [00:54] digitalsky: then youv'e wonked something up...lol, how big is your hard drive? [00:54] spydon: it's also possible that your isp blocks port 22, you can try to port forward some higher port to 22 internal [00:54] I would hate to have to use Windows just to get files off my phone. [00:54] digitalsky, depends on the app, ubuntu already comes with a butload fo defaults like OOo and others, tha's part of the 2.5, I'm up to 3 gig atm and I have a lot of aps, not as much as some mind you , 5-10 gig is what I recommend, i fyou install windows apps on your system running on wine they will isntall in your /home folder anyway ( what you call data _ [00:54] so then you'd connect with "ssh -p 5897 user@your.external.ip" and reach your box on 22 [00:54] Pelo: no I didn't test the alternate, but I will try that, thanks for the tip [00:54] how to install soundblaster xi fi in ubuntu 7.04 [00:55] spydon: obviously where 5897 is whatever high port you chose, that will get past it if your ISP blocks port 22 [00:55] 40GB. XP Pro + MS Office + Matlab + OO + a bunch of smaller softwares = 15GB [00:55] Hi, I'm trying to dual boot XP and Ubuntu. Have XP already installed. Trying to add Ubuntu 7.10 to the 3rd HD (XP is on #1 HD). Each install I try ends with an eventual Grub Error 21. Any suggestions? [00:55] * Pelo will be distracted for about 43 minuts [00:55] hmm [00:55] Okay I will try that kelsin thx [00:55] if i have the .iso downloaded on the target computer, can I install Ubuntu by extracting it, booting into DOS, and running the setup file? I don't have an optical drive on the computer, so I can't burn/read CD. [00:56] has OO save stuff in .doc format [00:56] hey yall. whenever i load up compiz, my borders are missing, so i can't click and drag, x out of my windows, etc. anyone have a link to the code that i have to edit to fix it? [00:56] ryan_77: to the 3rd what?.. hard drive or partition? [00:56] hard drive [00:56] !install | Rafabe [00:56] Rafabe: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[00:57] Rafabe: that first link does have many ways to install without a cd [00:57] Pelo: are you in Windows right now, or on the live cd? [00:57] IndyGunFreak, 3 gig on my / , I have about 40 gig for stuff in my /home [00:57] Anyone have any clue why using Compiz Config would break VLC Media Player? [00:57] Pelo: oh ok...lol, [00:57] IndyGunFreak, I'm in my ubuntu install atm why ? [00:57] Pelo: that wasn't for you, it was for ryan_77 sorry [00:57] connection refused there too. kelsin :( [00:57] IndyGunFreak: from what I have read, theinstaller should be fine with separate dual boot Hard drive installs of XP and Ubuntu [00:57] ryan_77: are you on the live CD, or in windows right now? [00:58] ryan_77: yes, it should be, thats how i learned linux, windows on one drivef, Linux on the other. [00:58] hey IndyGunFreak i am running plain ubuntu now, just gotta wait for the disks to arrive [00:58] spydon: are you sure your broadband modem doesn't take up an ip and form a firewall between your router and the internet? [00:58] * Pelo ' s windows install is 3 gig, no upgrades, no mso, just autocad [00:58] IndyGunFreak: i'm on a separate computer.. i have tried the Live CD install and the Alternate install [00:58] Micheru: lol, i figured thats what you'd end up doing. [00:58] Micheru: when you get your XP disks, i'll help you sort out that mess you had going on... [00:58] ok then 20GB xp 10 GB ubuntu 2GB swap 8GB data [00:58] IndyGunFreak, hehe [00:59] How soon will Wine 0.9.50 be available in the repos? [00:59] oh i fixed that [00:59] IndyGunFreak: i'm on a windows box now, over my shoulder is the error screen [00:59] Anyone have any clue why using Compiz Config would break VLC Media Player? [00:59] Micheru: but i wouldn't do to much, usually, the best thing to do, is let Windows take over the whole drive, install, etc, then use the ubuntu installer to partition the drive. [00:59] Pelo: did your 10GB recommendation include the 2GB swap? [00:59] ryan_77: ok. [00:59] i used the livecd to wipe all the partitions and installed ubuntu on one big partition [00:59] Hello everybody. I'm trying to follow a forum topic at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=120615 and I got to the part where I'm supposed to 'make depend && make' in the installation, however make pukes up with an error shown at http://pastebin.com/m3ff648ac . Any ideas on what I should try and do to let make go on? [00:59] I don't think so because then I wouldn't come to my router when I write my external IP in a browser, would I, kelsin? [00:59] ryan_77: try changing your BIOS, to boot one of your slave drives first, maybe grub got installed on the wrong drive. [00:59] then i will do what you just said lol [00:59] spydon: from school? [01:00] digitalsky, sounds about right, make the /home right after the / , so you can resize the / and use the room on /home if you need to , I think you will want to do that after a little while [01:00] both, kelsin [01:00] Micheru: thats the easiest thing to do... use this time with Ubuntu only to do some learning. [01:00] digitalsky, I actualy recommended 1.5 gig of swap in your case but swap is seperate from / [01:00] would too much swap affect performance? [01:00] Can someone help me setup samba access to a server that will require the passwd to the server to be typed each time the system is started? [01:01] ryan_77: did you understand what i was talking about? [01:01] Is is possible to launch an windows app on a vbox machine, without first starting inntek vbox, choosing the machine, starting the machine, then launching the app? At the very least setting a default machine that launches automatically? [01:01] digitalsky, the rule of thumb is 2x RAM , you don't realy need more unless you have very little memory [01:01] I actually wouldnt' need much of a /home I think, because I'm the only user and I'll mount the data and save everything there so I can share them with XP (that's possible right?) [01:01] IndyGunFreak, i have had ubuntu for a month, on another machine and it was a completly different setup, thats why i screwed this one up [01:01] ArthurArchnix, you'll have to ask in a virtualbox chanel [01:02] Micheru: it happens, if i told you i never screwed up my system trying to install Linux, i'd be struck by lightening. [01:02] IndyGunFreak, hehe [01:02] digitalsky, /home not only contains your data but also all your user settings, , and you can share with a windows network using samba [01:03] IndyGunFreak: thanks, i do understand, but the bios does look at the mbr of hd0 and grub does start (where as XP used to), then goes to a Grub Loading stage 1.5, grub loading please wait... , error 21 [01:03] spydon: yeah that probably wouldn't happen, yeah I'm at a loss from here :-( good luck with it. [01:03] I followed the instructions to install Wine 0.9.50 here http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb but when I apt-get install wine, it always installs 0.9.49 How do I get 0.9.50 installed? [01:03] yea but I expect the user settings won't take much room [01:03] i gotta restart [01:03] Hey everyone. [01:03] ryan_77: i know that, but when i used to use two drives, i'd usually get grub installed on both drives..(why i don't know)... [01:03] ryan_77: if you're desperate to boot to something, burn yourself a Super GRUB CD === goodtod is now known as alevine [01:04] ryan_77: thats why i suggested that, or as scguy318 suggested, get supergrub. [01:04] Pelo: I did... no response. I found a message on the forum from a developer saying no though, while I was waiting. But I'm not sure if the "no" meant can't create shortcuts to autolaunch programs, or "no you can't hide the windows taskbar when in seamless mode. [01:04] Smegzor, there is not 0.9.50 package for ubuntu yet you'll have to wait a few days, ifyou instal 0.9.49 now it will upgrade automaticaly when it is out [01:04] !sgd | ryan_77 [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:04] !supergrub [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about supergrub - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:04] kelsin: thx for all your help! It's probably just something fucked up that ive done with my router :P [01:04] hmm, [01:04] My next question is, the xp i have is the one that comes with my acer notebook, so I'll have to install from that CD. If I want to duel boot, do I install linux or xp first? [01:04] my guess is linux right? [01:04] digitalsky: always xp first [01:04] ryan_77: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download [01:04] digitalsky, install xp first [01:04] digitalsky: always xp [01:04] really? [01:04] Can someone tell me if gtkpod is the best program for managing an ipod on ubuntu? [01:04] digitalsky: yes, [01:05] so i have to use the xp to partition my drive? [01:05] digitalsky: windows doesn't care about other os's and will overright the bootmanager only allowing you to boot windows [01:05] digitalsky: xp will piss and moan if its not master of everything. [01:05] digitalsky, yes, that way ubujntu will detect it during hte install and make the appropriate entry int eh boot menu [01:05] Pelo: but don't I get it right now if I do what it says here? http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [01:05] IndyGunFreak: and scguy318: thanks.. I feel Super Grub might be the way to go. [01:05] digitalsky: you can resize windows partitions after, or just tell the windows isntaller not to use the whole drive [01:05] digitalsky: no, its a matter of GRUB bootloader, its best if you install xp first [01:05] how i can install or active ATI drivers?! [01:05] digitalsky: no, use XP, take over the entire disk, [01:05] digitalsky: then install ubuntu, and use it to partition the drive, and install ubuntu [01:05] oooooook.............. [01:06] digitalsky: i meant then use the ubuntu cd, to partition, then install ubuntu [01:06] I have a uestion about Ubuntu 7.10... It doesn't start at all I can't even install it. I get the error message "find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/vmlinuz | Error 17: File not found."

Any ideas on what I should try and do to let make go on? [01:06] scguy318: I'm not desperate, I can fix XP.. just want to dual boot [01:06] digitalsky: you can partition your disk without any OS if you download the gparted live CD [01:06] Smegzor, what is out now is the 0.9.50 source, distro specific packages are made by volunteers, they need a few days to make them , give it a few days , be patient [01:06] anyone can help me about ati drivers ?!

It is probably due to the fact that I shredded the file, rm'd it, and created a blank one. Any suggestions? [01:07] Pelo: lol, you have no idea. [01:07] i no i just forgot to finish my sentence sorry.. [01:07] Rockbuddy, try using the alternate install cd, you can get it from the ubuntu.com site just check the box under the download now button [01:07] actually i might just be wasting you guys' time here. it's probably somewhere in the web [01:07] digitalsky: what is? [01:07] Anyone used Ubuntu on the newest macbooks? I am having alot of trouble getting *any* functionality out of the fn key and I can't get sound [01:08] Pelo: will it most likely work or are you unsure?

[01:09] lets geek out on IRC [01:09] nigggo: lol [01:09] kazol: ahhh, wierd, if you rm the file it should just create it again when exiting, unless there is an odd setting to turn it off in your .bash_profile, .profile or .bashrc files [01:09] ok [01:09] IndyGunFreak, since when do you speak french ? [01:09] IndyGunFreak, nvm [01:09] Pelo: lol... [01:10] Oh. How do I un-make the wine that i've already installed? If i just do apt-get install, does it overwrite the old wine? [01:10] kriel: you've already run a "make install" command> [01:10] ? [01:10] anyone have a synaptics touchpad working properly with verticle scroll ? [01:10] <_DT> kriel: yes [01:10] kelsin: oh. No. Duh, I was just compiling it. -slaps face- Thank you... [01:10] kriel: then you should be good :) [01:11] Can an anyone please advise how I change the size of my terminal (1024x768 pixels, but ubuntu is defalted to 640x480), where is the config file for this setting?> [01:11] where can i get a list of IRC commands, like msg, notify, etc.. [01:11] Anyone know of a good IDE for mips? [01:11] Linux needs to level out the learning curve abit. I've spent like 3 years on and off trying to conquer it, and I'm still lost... === TwelveYearOld is now known as osxdude [01:12] IndyGunFreak, try asking in #xchat , they probably have a link for that, I just leaned as I went over the years [01:12] i've got no sound on lenovo r60 laptop? [01:12] Pelo: oh ok. [01:12] hey my g/f managed to get my top panel in gnome to right of the screen and I can't get it back. I have a crt 15" monitor and a TV on the graphics card svideo out running xinearama (I thnk) plus compiz-fusion installed [01:12] !sound | hwilde [01:12] hwilde: 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 [01:12] hwilde, also check your model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport there might be some advice [01:12] operator011: well, for starters, you can hit the maximize button. (the one next to the x.) I'm not sure how to make it permanent, though. Try poking around the terminal options. [01:12] hwilde: you probably have intel hda. [01:12] bah I begin to feel the restrictions of open source software more and more [01:13] all those lenovo's do. [01:13] LOGAN: then edit them to your liking [01:13] Pelo, alsa is selected and my hardware is supported [01:13] IndyGunFreak, yep that is it [01:13] IndyGunFreak: my lenovo works perfectly with the latest ubuntu. literally ootb, perfectly supported. [01:13] how do I get my panel back to top of screen is it like xfce and moving panels? [01:13] hwilde: yeah, some do, some don't [01:13] slliness, right click the botom pannel on an empty place, select add a pannel, or new panel, move it to the top, right click add to pannel and add the stuff you want to it [01:13] everything works it's just like the sound isn't playing [01:13] hwilde: youc an try to compile a new alsa driver. [01:13] kelsin : for example, I cannot use open source game engine to make commercial game [01:13] hwilde: ya. [01:13] hwilde, mute button on the lappy ? [01:13] forces game into open source [01:14] Hi, has anyone managed to get the slmodem source to compile on the generic ubuntu kernel? [01:14] LOGAN: well you can if you want to make it open source, or find an engine that's a BSD license [01:14] does anyone know how i make xchat 2.8.4 go to tray on "X" (close windows) instead of shutting down? [01:14] hwilde: open a terminal and type lspci and see how it identifies your sound device. [01:14] Pelo, that doesn't seem to be doing anything but yeah there is volume up down and mute [01:14] LOGAN: also most game engines have a dual license policy so you can buy a commercial license [01:14] Pelo, how do I move my already existing panel back to top cause it is already pack with aplets [01:14] hwilde: there's a volume because it recognizes the device, but the way its being controlled is wonked up [01:14] s/aplets/applets [01:15] kelsin : Im unemployed atm. no money for licenses anyway [01:15] its an alsa issue. [01:15] hwilde, I'm just trying for the obvious stuff, check in menu > system > prefs > sound , see that hte right card is selected or put it on automatic [01:15] IndyGunFreak, lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [01:15] damn i'm good. [01:15] lol [01:15] slliness, just drag it [01:15] if it were obvious I wouldn't be asking in irc [01:15] it is just muted somewhere i know it [01:15] alsamixer will save me [01:15] LOGAN: but "restrive" is also relative, compared to closed-source engines, I would say most open source ones are much less restrictive [01:15] Pelo, so i have to remove some stuff to grab it then cause have so much on it [01:16] * Pelo thinks hwilde is doomed [01:16] pelo just launches stuff [01:16] LOGAN: but yes compared to, "I want to use this free software to make a closed source game for money" it is restrictive [01:16] silliness: In the panel menu you can select properties and then change the position of the panel [01:16] well, i was gonna try to talk him through compiling new alsadrivers..lol [01:16] kelsin : im unemployed atm... thats my biggest restriction already [01:16] i got it setup on my laptop really easy [01:17] slliness, you can make a new pannel you don'T have to use the one you have already and be stuck with just one, you can make as many pannels as you want, with almost anything you want on them ,just play around with the right click options [01:18] anyone know how to get the fn key working in the most recent MacBook? [01:18] I'm trying to install 7.1. I think I'm not able to view the entire screen. For instance, I'm currently on the "Where Are You" screen. I have selected my region, but cannot see a "next" or "continue" button, so I'm stuck on this screen. [01:18] lol [01:19] vonehle: can you change your screen resolution? [01:19] sounds like the "next" button is hanging off screen [01:20] How do I get to the resolution changes? Right clicking the desktop doesn't seem to work. [01:20] vonehle: system/preferences, i do believe [01:20] I changed my xorg.conf file, to allow me to use my quad display, now it won't allow for Desktop Effects [01:21] how do i renable desktop effects with multiple monitors? [01:21] 800 x 600 is the best it offers me. [01:21] vonehle, menu > system > prefs > screen resolution, if he resolotuion you want isn'T available you have to add it manualy to the xorg.conf file then it will be available [01:21] letha1: quad displays?.. wow. [01:21] i thought dual rocked. [01:21] letha1, ask in #compiz-fusion [01:21] do you guys have Desktop Effects? [01:21] Pelo: problem is, he's on the live CD, trying to install, can he modify xorg.conf on the live cd? [01:21] how do I get to the xorg.conf file? [01:21] vonehle: try this... [01:21] vonehle, open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down a bit, it is quite obvious where you need to add [01:22] vonehle, I had a messed up resolution setting, after I installed Envy, then picked the appropriate driver. It installed everything and configured the xorg.conf for me automagically! [01:22] vonehle, IndyGunFreak, he can, but he'll have to restart X and not reboot, and the changes won't hold when he reboots [01:22] Pelo: oh i see, just restart X, that makes sense [01:23] necudeco, :* [01:23] anyone here know anything about the weather applet in xfce, keepin mind I have a good working install of compiz-fusion and do not want to jeopardize it. the xfce weather applet in really good [01:23] * Pelo beats FloodBot1 to within an inch of it's life [01:23] sorry guys, I don't know anything at all about Ubuntu. How do I open a terminal? [01:24] ... [01:24] the gnome weather applet is bunk [01:24] heya.. if i write a simple shell script that takes a paramater (start|stop) and stick it in my /etc/init.d directory.. will the 'start' paramater automatically be passed to it on boot? [01:24] upperleft - accessories - terminal [01:24] how to get all DVD / decss and other shit? [01:24] slliness, if you are using xcfe you might want to ask your quesitons in #xubuntu [01:24] there is gdesklets for gnome, is there an equivalent for kde? [01:24] vonehle: just for grins, try this... drag your panel at the top, to the side.. then try to move the window up a little bit, and se if you can see "Next" [01:24] I have an old powerpc mac. I want to install ubuntu [01:24] where do I start [01:24] slliness, also consider gdesktlets I think they work on xcfe, there is a nice weather desktop app in there [01:25] I've never user or installed linux before [01:25] dmitrig01, dl the mack version of ubuntu first [01:25] mac [01:25] there is gdesklets for gnome, is there an equivalent for kde?

[01:25] !dvd | wallsp [01:25] dmitrig01, then just burn image to the cd and boot from it [01:25] wallsp: 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 [01:25] i got Gyache, but seem my webcam a4tech 635m dont work in it.any idea. [01:25] vonehle: did that work? [01:25] Pelo, sorry I am not using xfce use it on other machine [01:25] IndyGunFreak: wha? [01:25] Pelo: how do I do that? [01:26] I am running gnome [01:26] how can I have ubuntu gutsy download from the latest repo's like cutting edge Fedora type distro? [01:26] dmitrig01, goto www.ubuntu.com, get the cd and burn it first, not sure how you boot from the cd on mac, I think you hold the C key while booting or something like that [01:26] when I typed in the sudo... I got a notepad type screen, but it is blank. Is this because I'm running off the CD right now? [01:26] good evening, i am using NFS on ubuntu gusty to share homes directories and I have the following error that i can't fix... lockd server 192.168.1.2 not responding timeout, couldn't create RPC handle for 192.168.1.2 [01:26] slliness, sudo apt-get install gdesklets [01:26] well, I dunno how to make a bootable dv [01:26] d [01:26] Pelo: one thing came to mind.

[01:27] I think mac computers are 'ppc' architecture... not sure though [01:27] vonehle: just try this, at the top, where your clock, applications menu, etc, is, try dragging it to the right side of the screen, then try moving that window up a little bit, and see if you can see "next" at the bottom [01:27] gojita: not recent ones [01:27] dmitrig01, I think there is a button or a link for mirrors in that page, click on it [01:27] Pelo: I mean filesnames.... eg. english + chinese in the same file/folder name [01:28] mic21-> is that an error from your log file? [01:28] ...what are recent ones? ppc64? [01:28] gojita: plain intels. [01:28] digitalsky, I know what you meant, my answer stands [01:28] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors?

[01:30] Hey everyone how are ya [01:30] Help, problem! I installed Gutsy, and when I booted in, the bootscreen worked, but then when it was supposed to go to the login screen, the monitor turned off. [01:30] dmitrig01, region is not so imporatnt [01:30] I thought backports meant things from the past that had been made compatible with newr stuff in case its broken :p [01:30] mic21-> is the portmap running on your client? [01:30] viper550: did moving your mouse bring it back up? [01:30] North america [01:30] I am unable to get Tracker to search my computer. It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results. I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing. I'm searching with tracker-search-tool. Any ideas? [01:30] viper check your xorg.conf [01:30] no [01:30] hmm, usually it does [01:30] bulmer: yes [01:30] how can [01:30] could be a resolution issue [01:30] viper550, I had the same issue, still do. Moving the cursor makes the monitor come out of standby [01:31] It didn't ask for resolution in the installer [01:31] *only on install [01:31] vonehle: did what i suggested work?

[01:33] SO who is willing to help me with a vsftpd issue with trying to connect through a browesr instead of term [01:33] dmitrig01: have you considered pure debian?...

[01:35] dmitrig01, I noticed I gave you the alternate cd links, you can find the live cd ( desktop) ones on the last link if you prefer [01:35] dimitri: just download ubuntu and burn it to a medium [01:35] audacity records/plays back audio twice as fast. any ideas? i can't find anything, been all over preferences and google [01:35] branden: he needs it for mac hardware [01:35] AH [01:35] IndyGunFreak, dapper will be supported for years yet, I'd rather have him on dapper then try to trouble shoot an unstable gutsy [01:35] Ah* [01:35] foo: if it's twice as fast it might be playing sound at 44.1 when your sound card only supports 22hz or something [01:35] Pelo: lol [01:35] on hardware I don'T know no less [01:35] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH8cS1AkqiI awesome first comment. [01:36] foo: make sure all audio settings are correct [01:36] Pelo: but when Dapper gets dropped, he'll have no optionsm, since Ubuntu no longer supports mac [01:36] branden: I have two Macs. I am operating normal mac stuff on the newer one. I'd like to try linux for the second [01:36] thats why i suggest debian, as it seems it will have a mac version forever. [01:36] hello guys, i deinstalled compiz and domino and esemerald and now i cannot change my resolution, does anybody know why? [01:36] kelsin: they are [01:36] kelsin: what settings? [01:36] IndyGunFreak: "forever" is a long time... [01:37] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server --- for reconfiguring xserver right? i always forget [01:37] DM|: xserver-xorg [01:37] In windows you can press the tab key to move between controls. This doesn't seem to work for Ubuntu. Is there a different way? [01:37] thanks [01:37] foo: I just said, some sort of setting might be set to the wrong hz value, you'd have to play with them, I don't know your system or soundcard, or audacity off hand [01:37] foo: but normally sound 1/2 as fast or 2x as fast is due to wrong Hz settings [01:37] vonehle, try the arrow keys [01:37] I'm fine with using something unsupported [01:37] IndyGunFreak, dmitrig01, you mean a PPC version. The new mac I'd assume to be intel, the older one is PowerPC. [01:37] it's not going to become my main compter [01:37] abcde_: yes [01:37] abcde_: yes, [01:37] abcde_: I want linux on ppc [01:37] on gutsy, where is xorg.conf? [01:38] it's a g4 [01:38] yellow dog linux [01:38] viper550: what's that? [01:38] dmitrig01, There is a PPC version, not sure if you'd want to do Ubuntu. I was just going to say YDL. [01:38] Linux distro made specifically for Apple platform [01:38] viper550: /ETC/x11/ [01:38] bulmer: I can't check now because I am not in the office but I know that I have installed nfs-common and portmap on the clients. The problem is appeared when we have change the address from 10.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.0. We have restarted the server but we can see some old entries in /var/lib/nfs/rmtab. [01:38] But it's Fedora based [01:38] dmitrig01, Redhat for PPC more or less. [01:38] -/etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:38] viper550: same place as always /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:38] dmitrig01, you'll have to ask IndyGunFreak for a link to gutsy for ppc I have no idea where t get it from [01:38] ah [01:38] dimitri: http://cdimage.ubuntulinux.org/releases/dapper/release.1/ has mac iso's its a bit older but once its installed you can dist-upgrade [01:38] Pelo: lol [01:38] I want ubuntu! [01:38] kelsin: oh, I've played with everything. I can try that [01:38] * Pelo passes the buck [01:39] dmitrig01: take paxil [01:39] dmitrig01, I'm not that fond of YDL though, I don't like RPM over DEB [01:39] dmitrig01, NO we are keeping ubuntu for ourselves [01:39] mic21-> which addresses are these? client or server? [01:39] all your ubuntu are belong to us [01:39] Pelo: dmitrig01 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ [01:39] * IndyGunFreak laughs at Pelo i told you it was somewhere..lol [01:39] * Pelo gives branden one point [01:39] /cheer pink points! [01:39] Ok.. yet again bulletproof X borked me.. I cant change resolutions to anything above 800x600, anyone help? [01:40] bulmer: some client address with old address 10.0.0.* [01:40] dmj what driver are you running atm ? [01:40] dmitrig01, Just for future reference, if you need to install Ubuntu somewhere, you can usually do Debian -> Ubuntu, since Debian is more versatile on what it can install on. Then you get Ubuntu with "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [01:40] ok [01:40] dmitrig01: did you get that link i sent? [01:41] Hey did ya get that thing I sent ya? [01:41] dav1: Have a look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Check the "Screen" Section. There You find the actual resolution of your graphical module. [01:41] IndyGunFreak: yes [01:41] abcde_: that's kind of... very... unsupported, though :) [01:41] abcde_: it might be possible, but definately not supported === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [01:41] abcde_: lots of things could break [01:41] IndyGunFreak: now I need to download it and then figure out how to make a bootable CD [01:41] mic21-> on your server side, you also tell which host or network can connect [01:41] Pelo Nvidia [01:41] anyonw help with fixing a dead function key?(works in other OSes) [01:41] dmitrig01: now that i can't help you with, mac's are foriegn to me [01:41] My xorg.conf Screen settings list 6 different resolutions, but my System>Preferences>Screen Resolution only offers 2. What can I do? [01:41] IndyGunFreak: darn [01:41] I have an hp f1503 monitor if that helps [01:41] any macies here? [01:41] dmitrig01, you just need to "burn an image" using your cd burning prog [01:41] ok [01:41] vonehle: i've told yuou 4x what to try, and you've not said once wether it worked === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:42] bulmer: my entry in the exports file is /home/ldap 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) [01:42] LjL, kelsin I know, I just mean if you HAVE to. I have one machine I need netbooting to install on, and I find it easier to get Debian then Ubuntu on it to upgrade. [01:42] You told me to try to drag the screen [01:42] I told you that didn't work [01:42] no i didn't [01:42] dmj there is an nvidia setting package in the repos [01:42] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg is the command to change your res [01:42] brb [01:42] dmitrig01, Open Disk Utility, and drag the iso under your HD's, then put a blank in [01:42] dmitrig01, and click Burn [01:42] usually when this has happened to me before, movin the top panel, and moving the window up just a hair, allows me to see the buttons at the bottom. [01:42] abcde_: thanks [01:42] mic21-> you have to add your 10.x.x.x users too [01:43] abcde_: if ubuntu won't run, and debian does then you're better off sticking with debian, installing ubuntu packages on debian is risky, and completely overwriting all debian packages with ubuntu will have the same problems as the original ubuntu install [01:43] my ubuntu is 7.04 he don't start if i try to use the last version of ubuntu i have to del all? [01:43] * Pelo is on his second attempt trying to watch Robin Hood 2x09, and is still getting distracted by the stuff in the channel [01:44] kelsin, Oh, works on the laptop, but I guess it's because the only reason Ubuntu has issues is the install, not the Hardware. [01:44] that did not move it enough [01:44] bulmer: but they don't exist anymore, is it a "trick" to clean the table ? [01:44] Dukke, are you getting an error msg ? [01:44] hello [01:44] !br | Dukke [01:44] Dukke: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:44] does ubuntu support mouse? [01:44] ubuntu_sucks, try changing your nick please [01:44] Dukke try installing a different build like xubuntu or kubuntu and reinstall ubuntu in term sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:44] Pelo: lol [01:44] Pelo: but it is so true, ubuntu failed to show me a mouse cursor [01:44] does ubuntu support trolls? no, see you in some other channel ubuntu_sucks [01:44] I loaded 7.10 amd64 lcd [01:45] cd [01:45] mic21-> i dont know, you can try cleaning up that rmtab file [01:45] suckage = !ubuntu_sucks [01:45] bulmer: do you think that the time out could come from those old entries ? [01:45] Pelo really stranger say like this "apt-get no found" try apt-get install apt apt-get command not found " [01:46] Pelo after my memory ram crash [01:46] DUkke try "aptitude" [01:46] well, I'm going to shower... if anybody needs me then too bad [01:46] mic21-> i think the time out is because you set sync instead of async, if network is faulty it can hang the connectivity [01:46] branden: Why would aptitude not crash if apt-get did? [01:46] branden: They both use apt... [01:46] Dukke, your install got borked, for some reason, you will need to reinstall , use the live cd to back up your /home fiolder so yo don't loose your data [01:46] PirateHead it was a suggestion dont be noob [01:46] how do I install the alternate gimp icons? [01:47] * Pelo is happy H264_laptop is going to shower, it was getting a bit rank in here [01:47] bulmer: the network is good, everything else works "fine" (1Gbps, cat 6 RJ45 cable). [01:47] ok gonna download the last version.. [01:47] Sturm: You might want to ask in #gimp if you don't find somebody what that info here. [01:47] Sturm, do you mean the tool icons in gimp itself or the app icon ? [01:47] Dukke, best of luck [01:48] thank you [01:48] :D [01:48] I meant the grayscale icons I downloaded off the gimp site === Alp-3 is now known as Alp` [01:48] since I dont really like the colorful icons [01:48] no one is on #gimp [01:48] Sturm, ask in #gimp, but I think there is a place in preferences where you can specify a path [01:48] Sturm: Ah. What you do is rename or delete the old ones and replace them with the new ones. [01:49] mic21-> how do you make sure none of the bits ever flipped? at 1Gbps ..i would not trust it myself [01:49] Sturm, #gimp-users [01:49] Sturm: As Pelo suggests, there might be a config file or preferences panel where you could specify a new path. If not, you'll just have to mess with the innards. [01:49] ... zombie processes are bad, aren't they? [01:50] kriel: Not bad as in freak out, but they aren't helpful. [01:50] kriel, not bad persay [01:50] mic21-> try it other than sync and see if it makes a difference [01:50] gimp users is dead too [01:50] bulmer: because before the change to 192.168.1.0 it was working well, we never had had timeout. [01:50] Sturm: Pose your question and wait awhile. Somebody will probably come check it out at some point. [01:50] Sturm, start the gimp , click the help menu , do a search [01:50] ... Okay, then how would I go about killing zombies? I know, aim for the head and use shotguns. How about something a little more peaceful (and probably effective) [01:50] kriel: are you okay with using the command line? [01:51] kriel: do you mean zombie processes that list as "Z" in a ps command? [01:51] PirateHead: yup. [01:51] mic21-> i dont know then, you have to troubleshoot more [01:51] kelsin: as in system>admin>system monitor lists them as zombie [01:51] kriel, kill the parent process if it is a dependency, check the dependency box in the menu , if you re using the system monitor [01:51] WHere art thou Pelo!? [01:51] kriel: Run ps (or ps aux or ps auxwww) and filter the output with grep to find your zombies [01:51] * Pelo art barely here [01:51] AYe [01:51] kriel: Then use awk to find the process IDs, then use xargs kill to kill them al [01:51] all* [01:52] hey you familiar with vsftpd? [01:52] branden, why do you ask ? [01:52] branden, no I am not [01:52] help doesn't work [01:52] argen [01:52] argh* [01:53] * Pelo makes a note, turn off xchat while watching vids [01:53] I dont know, I set up a vsftpd last night and it worked fine, I was trying to connect through a browser and it worked once with the login after that it just went kuput on me, so I snarled and raged and pillaged [01:53] /sigh [01:53] bulmer: ok, i will try the clear the table and to change sync to async. thank you for you help ;) [01:53] PirateHead: mind PM's? [01:54] mic21-> okay, you're welcome [01:54] !pm | kriel [01:54] kriel: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [01:54] branden, look for a forum for the app or a channel for it [01:54] So anyone have any ideas why My compy refuses to let me change to the correct resolution [01:54] I am installing zope and ran nc -z -v -w2 localhost 1-65535 to scan for ports. I choose one of the open ports from the scan but it just loads and loads in my browser forever. Do I need to restart the port or something? [01:54] kriel: You get points for asking though. :-) [01:54] I did, I left at hread on the ubuntu forums and its been 3 days unanswered [01:55] DM|, check in the forum there is away to do it , it is realted to yoru nvidia card, search for nvidia resolution you'll find it, you are not the first one with this issue, I'm pretty sure the otehrs have solved it [01:55] PirateHead: hehe. Thanks. Okay, okay... you said to use some utilities that i've never dealt with before. what's ps, what's aux, and... -reads up- what am i filtering for with grep (I've actually used that one!) [01:55] branden, did you search the forum ? usualy more helpfull then posting [01:55] hey I want to compile wine... How can I make it check deps? [01:55] Pelo whats funny is its been working for every release till bullet proof X was introduced. [01:56] Yeah but thosse peoples posts werent relevant to the issue I was having [01:56] gojita: use "Debian-way" [01:56] gojita, wait a few days, there will be a .deb package for the latest one [01:56] kriel: ps will list processes, once you see the zombie one you can just type "kill " to kill it, if that doesn't work you can try "kill -9 " or "sudo kill " and "sudo kill -9 kriel: ps is a program that lists running processes. [01:56] Does anyone know what configuration file in Ubuntu-server 7.10 controls the size of the stdout terminal buffer (currently it's 80x25=640x480), but my screen size is 1024x768 === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV [01:56] DM|, I'm out of suggestion then [01:56] kriel: "ps auxwww" is a command that lists out all the data about all the processes that are running [01:56] kriel: if it's an actual zombie process according to the kernel (with a Z flag in the ps output) you might not be able to kill it [01:56] hi, how to make for to show the spaces used and avaibles in my partitions? [01:57] I mean when I started the server I ran "netstat -a | grep ftp" and it says its listening so I know its working, but when it comes to trying to log into it through the browser using an external IP all hell breaks loose [01:57] lastk, menu > system > admin > system monitor last tab [01:57] the compile one says that opengl libraries are needed, if I do it the debain way and "WAIT", will those deps be installed as well? [01:57] lastk: df [01:57] gojita, yes it will [01:58] I can ftp://localhost and it goes through, as in logs in, but if I try ftp:// nothing [01:58] kriel: Once you run ps auxwww, you should be able to find the process IDs of the zombie processes. However, you can automate that by finding them using grep. [01:58] *rather: ./configure --verbose [01:58] farts on that I guess [01:58] ooh, here's a fun one. ps dosen't spit out the name of my zombie processes. it only lists ps and bash. [01:58] gojita, you are doing this because you want the very latest right ? you are not jsut trying out wine for the first time right ? [01:58] gojita: get sources (apt-src) and build it (look debian.org documentation) [01:58] I want this because I want the very latest, yes [01:58] Pelo im so glad you mentions wine, I have to instal cs [01:58] =P [01:59] kriel: "ps aux" or "ps -ef" [01:59] kriel: That is probably because you aren't passing the right command to ps. Try typing the command "ps auxwww" [01:59] gojita: Bleeding edge comes at a price.. What feature in particular are you trying to add.. [01:59] kelsin, kriel: the problem with ps aux is that it limits its output to your terminal size to make things "prettier". It isn't suitable for parsing. [01:59] gojita, just wait a couple of days, they guy that makes the deb is usualy pretty quick , I woudlnt, be surprised if it was out tomorow [01:59] how do I get conky to run in openbox-gnome? [01:59] kelsin: the first time i did that it just spit out a help file mabob... [02:00] pelo do you have an nvidia card? [02:00] LjL : thanks [02:00] ok i keep having this gnome issue. just reinstalled with arch64 and when i try to start gnome-terminal.. it wont load...i had this problem in a few other 64bit distros.. anyone know whats up? [02:00] which program do I user for burning dvds? [02:00] DM|, no I don'T just a plain old , working , intel 856 g [02:00] haha [02:00] working, yeah.. [02:00] I want to see what they've done new, I want to check if there is a new interface, and new functionality to aid in perhaps making wine programs (like mIRC) more like the theme in Gnome [02:00] brb [02:01] bit0, thanks for advice [02:01] gojita: download wine sources (apt-src install wine) ... [02:01] gojita: wine supports .msstyles. just not fully. some widgets don't skin [02:02] gojita: and try to rebuild it [02:02] bit0, thanks again, 5 minutes of research saved [02:02] darkmatter: and it's sloooow [02:02] gojita: :) [02:02] okay. I cheated and found the pid using system monitor (2015) and kill 2015 dosen't do anything. All the rest are sleeping. (cept the monitor itself_ [02:02] LjL depends on the theme, but yeah [02:02] which program do I user for burning dvds? [02:02] bulmer: I forget to say about an error (on ther server) when we restart the NFS server (with dmesg) : lockd_down: lockd failed to exit, clearing pid - nfsd: last server has exited - nfsd: unexporting all filesystems [02:02] k3b [02:02] kriel: does ps list it as a zombie? Z in the status columb? [02:02] column* [02:03] is w32codecs still in the medibuntu repository? [02:03] I can't get wine to reinstall right, I had tried to upgrade to 9.50 and it went batty so I tried to remove it and now when I reinstall it, It doesn't run at all [02:03] #offtopic [02:03] racarter: i think so [02:03] mic21-> if there was a lockfile remove it and restart nfs-server [02:04] eltux: make sure to clear out your .wine folder also when changing wine versions [02:04] :\ [02:04] kelsin: 2015 status: Zl+ [02:04] kriel: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html you can probably log out and log back in to clear it, but kill and sudo kill and sudo kill -9 might not do it [02:04] gojita: just looking at eltux and thinking that might be you tomorrow [02:04] kelsin: should I just delete it? [02:04] hey guys, i'm trying to install the new ubuntu on my desktop and i'm stuck on the "Preparing Partitions" part. I have a windows partition and i'm trying to join two others that are labeled "free space" but i can't seem to do that [02:04] Lol! [02:04] eltux: if you don't have any programs installed that you NEED to keep in there yes [02:04] Got it [02:05] gojita: you're giving away a lot of usefullness just to learn something that is in the changelog on the wine website [02:05] I set my display driver to use VESA instead of ATI, and it works now [02:05] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, they say its the new release but when you download the package and install it, it says that its beta software yet [02:05] bulmer: which lockfile ? in the /var/lib/nfs directory ? [02:05] i want to leave the windows partition alone and create one partition for the filesystem and another one for the swap but i can't seem to be able to combine them [02:05] lol [02:05] manduski: Goodluck with that ^o) [02:05] eltux: wine has been in beta forever, it hasn't had a "stable" release yet [02:05] kSid: why, is taht impossible? [02:06] manduski, what do you want to combine ? [02:06] mic21-> i would think it is in /var/lock not in /var/lib/nfs [02:06] kelsin, I can't understand alot of the terminology they use in the changelog (like... whats Completed I/O completion. or More Valgrinding. mean) [02:06] erf. Thank you kelsin and PirateHead. [02:06] gojita: then it probably doesn't have new features like you want [02:06] pelo: i have these" [02:06] kelsin: yeah no kiddin. 0.9.50 still has some major problems though. Steam doesn't work right with it yet [02:06] manduski: Last time I tried that it corrupted my windows partition because it got stuck half way and then when I rebooted into vista, it said the drive is full [02:06] eltux: hence the continuous term of "beta" [02:06] pelo: i have these two "free space" partitions that i want to combine [02:06] kriel: No problem, kriel. [02:06] manduski: But then I used the Vista partition manager to save my computer :) [02:07] manduski, you need to delete the aprtitons first [02:07] manduski, you can'T combine them [02:07] pelo: i did delete them, that's why they say free space [02:07] * IndyGunFreak thinks, "There's an oxymoron, using Vista to save a computer" [02:07] manduski: partitions is no "easy", be patient [02:07] pelo: why can't you combine them [02:07] eltux: it's an extremely ambitious program, that also depends on how well written the program you're trying to run is programmed. It's incredible enough as it is, I can run wow and warIII with no issues, I love it :) [02:07] kelsin, good point, BUT I have to say this, I am aimless right now, and am looking to learn and be amused at the latest and greatest. Just as long as it doesn't break my system [02:07] kelsin: I just did what you said, and now the program that i choose to install it with (wine doors) is crapping out on me [02:07] gojita: Completed I/O completion = they finished the code to support Windows I/O completion [02:07] manduski, so apply the change and tghen you can make a new partition in the free space [02:07] manduski, not the same FS [02:08] gojita: More Valgrinding = they fixed more memory leaks they found through Valgrind [02:08] hello. In "vi" editor in 7.10 undo (U command) does not work. It just switches between two last version of the file [02:08] eltux: you're installing wine with winedoors? [02:08] IndyGunFreak: I'm sorry, but Vista > ubuntu on this laptop. [02:08] bulmer: in /var/lock, I just have two empty directories "apache2" and "lvm"; I found an other lock file called /proc/lock, but I don't think it is that. [02:08] eltux: or wine doors is crapping out with the wine from the ubuntu repos? [02:08] kelsin: yeah, it was just easier at the time [02:08] scguy318, Thanks! ^_^ [02:08] ATTENTION PPL WHO WANT TO DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THE LATEST WINE RELEASE THERE IS A #winehq [02:08] Indygunfreak: Ubuntu doesn't even support half of my drivers, I've tried Ubuntu, Suse, and Fedora [02:08] kSid: i guess we all have uses for something windows makes. [02:08] kelsin: yeah I have the package on my computer and its going batty when it tries to configure it [02:09] IndyGunFreak: :) [02:09] mic21-> lock files are normally in /var/lock [02:09] kSid: thats not a lack of Ubuntu support, thats the hardware manufacturers not making linux drivers [02:09] eltux: if you're dealing with a wine from winedoors or ANYWHERE other than the ubuntu repos you need to go to them and ask, even if you are it's probably good to ask the wine people [02:09] kelsin: if hardware manufacturers didn't make windows drivers, they wouldn't work in Windows Vista either [02:09] scguy318, kelsin then I likely dont need the latest and greatest, since wait... memory leaks? thats nifty [02:09] kSid: you should make better choices in laptop purchases then [02:09] kelsin: it still grabs wine from the ubuntu repos [02:09] gojita: of course not, better to stick with a Wine version that works for you [02:09] bulmer: when I stop the NFS server, the lockd process are still alive. [02:10] eltux: and does other stuff [02:10] kelsin: all it does is prompts the install of wine and comes with the configuration tool (wine doors) [02:10] where is teh default fonts folder [02:10] kelsin: it just makes it easier to install stuff [02:10] eltux: well passed clearing your home dir I don't have any ideas why you're app isn't working [02:10] mic21-> so it means its got the lock file stored somewhere else [02:10] * Pelo starts makeing a list of ppl to kick forward to #winehq [02:10] eltux: *and by that I mean clearing the .wine folder of course, not your whole home dir [02:10] * gojita raises hand [02:11] lol [02:11] kelsin: well, sudo apt-get remove wine again right? and I'll try deleting .wine again [02:12] Pelo: ? [02:12] no idea what just happend [02:12] a game I am trying to run is performing very poorly. do any of you have any tips for making it run better (drivers, optimizations, etc). it is called frets on fire [02:13] * IndyGunFreak wonders if Pelo is trying to crash #ubuntu [02:13] btard: what video card? [02:13] radeon 9200 === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer [02:13] I ended up getting it to work [02:13] kelsin: i tried to reinstall steam from my installer and its giving me a wierd cryptic error [02:13] btard: make sure you have accelerated rending working, past that I don't have any ideas :-( [02:14] how can i install and run Crystal Space???? [02:14] eltux: I already said I don't have any more ideas for you, esp with steam as I have never used it (or ever will) [02:14] kelsin: how would I check that? and thanks for helping :] [02:14] eltux: check the AppDb [02:14] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:14] eltux: you really should install Steam with a clean Wine directory [02:14] cabroni_, what is crystal space ? [02:14] scguy318: oh its clean alright [02:14] and cabroni_ dont do that again [02:14] Hello All [02:14] btard: "glxinfo | grep -i direct" [02:15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Space i have some problems with install it [02:15] Have any method of the to install packages without internet conection, for example, using others CDs ? [02:15] Does Wine run .msi files? [02:15] glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:15] cabroni_: "sudo apt-get install crystalspace" is a good start, after that you should read their docs and instructions [02:15] !info crystalspace [02:15] crystalspace: Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 38139 kB, installed size 94956 kB [02:16] grampa: you have to install the windows installer program, I dno't know where to get it, and newer versions don't always work [02:16] it looks like i have medibuntu repository set up, but i keep getting the error that w32codecs has no installation candidate [02:16] cabroni_, first check in the repos menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager [02:16] kelsin: Ok, thanks [02:16] racarter: Are you on 32bits or 64bits? [02:16] denisbr: aptoncd or apt-zip for example [02:16] grampa: yes, wine start msifile [02:16] kelsin: no [02:16] !aptoncd > denisbr (read the private message from ubotu) [02:16] kelsin: Wine has support for executing MSIs [02:16] thanks [02:16] btard: yeah you def don't have any type of 3d acceleration working, look into installing good ati drivers, I have NO experience with ATI though, so good luck [02:16] scguy318: learn something new everyday :) [02:16] kelsin: AppDb is your friend :) [02:17] bulmer: ok I will search for it; if I can't solve the problem, do you think using NFS4 may solve it ? it is as stable as NFSv3 on gusty ? [02:17] g'night folks [02:17] Pelo every single post online tells me to do the same thing, [02:17] night [02:17] scguy318: well if I was trying to run an msi file I would be looking there not asking people with old info in this channel ;-) [02:18] jrib: thanks ... but, then I need do the download of the packages, ubuntu not offer cds with packages, how eg. the mandriva and slackware [02:18] pelo and every single one of those people respond that it doesnt work [02:18] kelsin: lol :) [02:18] denisbr: the dvd has the main and restricted repositories, but not universe and multiverse [02:18] DM|, I suggest you review the instructions and try to figure out what is wrong with them , I can't help anymore [02:18] guys i dont know but my trackerd process is causing my cpu usage to be at 70-90% [02:18] g'night all [02:19] Xdange1: its indexing, it'll do that for a bit intially, then wont bug again [02:19] Anyone here have Nvidia that refuses to change to default resolution on bootup , but I can change it with Nvidia settings, but not with GNOME management [02:19] jrib: very good, then, the DVD is more complete. Where I found a list of the packages in the DVD ? [02:19] Xdange1: its been doing that for a while now [02:19] denisbr: packages.ubuntu.com [02:19] mic21-> i dont know ..umm gutsy is stable? [02:20] its slowing up everyting else [02:20] jrib: thaniks [02:20] denisbr: anything from main or restricted afaik [02:20] Pici, i think i am on 64 bits [02:20] Xdange1: you can go into indexing prefs if you want to stop it [02:20] how can i verify that? [02:20] can someone help me out with a terminal color issue [02:20] DM|: well if you can change it w/ nvidia settings, does it really mjatter that you can't change it w/ gnome? [02:20] racarter: whats the output of uname -a [02:21] IndyGunFreak do you really want to change yhe resolution EVERY single time you boot up ? [02:21] DM|: ok, i see now.. good point. [02:21] 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [02:21] EdwardXP: you should just ask your question, if someone can, they will help [02:21] would it be w64codecs for me? [02:21] IndyGunFreak this is a ubuntu problem unfortunately, nothing wrong with my video card or its driver, they borked something bad [02:21] racarter: yep [02:21] thanks [02:21] What's the file with .bash_history logging exceptions? For example, so I could specify to not log commands with the string "cd". [02:21] edward@Laptopxp:~/Desktop/MISC MUSIC$ /usr/games/fortune [02:21] Your love life will be happy and harmonious. [02:21] DM|: you could try messing with xorg, but i know little about that.., you could try reconfiguring xorg, and when it asks about the resolution you want, set it to use the one you want. [02:22] Does anyone know how to use a key created in Seahorse with Evolution? [02:22] IndyGunFreak did that [02:22] i noticed that with my laptop charger pluged in trackerd process is causing cpu usage to be high, around 70-90% [02:22] Good night... I have a digital camera that when is pluged via USB is mounted; but if I insert a memorycard to the camera an plug via USB it is not mounted. I read some about a bug... Please Can you help me?

[02:22] so i can define the two [02:22] kelsin not properly [02:22] anyone know how to do that? [02:22] DM|: it works fine for me. [02:22] DM|: are you using sudo? [02:23] EdwardXP: are you using gnome-terminal? [02:23] EdwardXP: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/ [02:23] i noticed that with my laptop charger pluged in trackerd process is causing cpu usage to be high, around 70-90% [02:23] bulmer: I will try if it doesn't work ... I have an other problem : with PAM, i am not able to use the pam_group.so plugin to attach local group to my ldap users ... [02:23] thats probably the issue right there. [02:23] IndyGunFreak yep [02:23] can i use opera on 64 bits? [02:23] Xdange1: as I said before, if you want to stop the indexing, go to Indexing Preferences [02:23] RAdams, yah [02:23] DM|: hmm, well if you used sudo nvidia-settings then set the resolution you wanted, and saved it, then it should work finem [02:23] EdwardXP: that doc will let you know how to color the bash prompt, but yeah gnome terminal settings like RAdams is getting at will set the default colors [02:23] EdwardXP: Edit --> Current Profile [02:24] DM|: how not? [02:24] mic21-> am not familiar with using ldap's as authentication system [02:24] But as kelsin said, you can do it with your bash configs as well [02:24] im in there :( [02:24] i guess i have to tinker with it still [02:24] DM|: you're sure you used sudo nvidia-settings? [02:24] EdwardXP: that will let you set the main color to green, to change the color of the prompt and other stuff you might need to edit your bash prompt [02:24] Anyone know how to use a key created in Seahorse with Evolution? [02:24] bulmer: okey, btw thanks a lot for all the details and idea you found ;) [02:25] RAdams: ssh or gpg? [02:25] IndyGunFreak yes, its something with ubuntu , alot of people are having this problem [02:25] mic21-> no problem [02:25] Indygunfreak brb [02:25] lete see [02:25] Hey guys I'm not getting any audio out of vlc or mplayer [02:25] RAdams: ahhh didn't read your whole line, you said with evolution :) don't use evolution so I don't know, good luck [02:26] hola [02:26] good morning^^ [02:26] helo [02:27] Highlife: it's a stupid question but is the volume up on everything needed?

Is there a reason why the RT61 chipset does not work out the box as RaLink do provide a GPL driver [02:33] kelson ? [02:33] no and no [02:33] EdwardXP: on the Colors tab in the profile editor you can set the text color and background color, you can set them however you want if you uncheck "Use colors from system theme" [02:33] kelsin Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [02:33] outdated in version 1.3 [02:33] its like this -/> hi.. <- this is white.. and the outsource is white too.. which is what i want changed... i can't change the output [02:33] sorry kelsin [02:34] meh [02:34] this is frustrating [02:34] DM|: then I would try moving it out of the way, "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.saved" then running nvidia settings and have it save [02:34] no its not DM| [02:34] kelsin: nun of the modules are working [02:34] bah [02:34] doctorzongo lies! [02:34] they're all working highlife [02:35] Highlife: if you run vlc from the command line do any errors come up when trying to play movies related to the sound?

Is there a way to stop them from defaulting in this location ? [02:36] scguy318: fuseiso worked, thx :) [02:36] im srry i thought about it right after i pasted XP [02:36] clanmac10: none [02:36] clanmac10:what card? [02:36] doctorzongo:Was that for question one ? [02:37] Highlife: sorry, lost the convo for a sec, with the alsa module selected do you get that same error? The "oss audio output error"? [02:37] clanmac10: the last question you posted [02:37] kelsin: yes i do [02:37] "does anyone know of where i can find proper 3d acceleration drivers for linux" for radeon 9200 cards, which are graphics cards made by ati (not flooding question but adding on mising detail) [02:37] anyone have a good how-to fix xorg from the livecd for a hard install? [02:37] one sec [02:38] i forgot to refresh the list [02:38] Highlife: can you try selecting differen devices under Audio / Output / Alsa (might have to click the refresh list to make them appear) [02:38] that may be my prob [02:38] ubuntu: nope -- its impossible [02:38] doctorzongo:Was that for the first question [02:38] ubuntu you have a messed up xorg ? [02:38] anyone knows how to make psp work with ubuntu? [02:38] all I need is to edit a couple of lines in my xorg.conf file from the livecd [02:38] clanmac10: yes [02:39] Highlife: also on the "Output modules" screen, amke sure to click Advanced Options and set the audio output module to "Alsa" [02:39] ubuntu: i know -- but if you do that it messes up your computer and cuts off internet access -- sorry [02:39] ubuntu well by mounting your root partition you can access your xorg.conf file through there [02:39] ubuntu: you _could_ remaster it if you really wanted to [02:39] ubuntu: why not just reconfigure your xorg.conf? [02:39] :( arggh its not working... [02:39] Sorry I pinged out [02:39] is it true you might not make your own version of firefox deluxe and give it away for free? Has firefox copyright issues? [02:39] doctorzongo:please repeate [02:39] ubuntu but i would do what IndyGunFreak suggests [02:39] clanmac10: yes [02:40] EdwardXP: your color settings in gnome terminal are not working? How? [02:40] juano__, I think that is the problem, when I turn my computer on grub loads fine then it continues to load until all of the sudden it goes into a strange text loop [02:40] its like this C:> time <--------- this is all white and the output is white too... " i want to change the output colors " [02:40] I did put a RFI for it [02:40] kelsin, it woks [02:40] ubuntu: what has led you to believe this is a xorg issue? [02:40] ubuntu ran ubuntu in safe mode from grub ? [02:40] UBUNTU: I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT [02:40] IndyGunFreak, juano__ It wont let me log in the scrolling text moves too fast for me to even login [02:40] I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT [02:40] I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT [02:40] I THINK GENETICALLY ALTERED TOMATOES PLAY A PART IN THAT [02:40] ubuntu: you would boot safe mode, which would send you to a cli [02:41] LOGAN: firefox has a complicated license, you can take the code and change it and distribute it for free, but somet things like the icons and art are not free to distribute [02:41] Just seems like in less then a year opensolaris works out the box with more wifi chipsets then ubuntu has ever done [02:41] clanmac10: fglrx drivers from ati [02:41] LOGAN: (I'm generalizing here a lot, you should read the license for more details) [02:41] you know what i mean kelsin [02:41] hi, i'm having a problem when ubuntu loads, no splash screen. and i can't get it fixed given the tutorial in the forum [02:41] althetuxman:what! I don't have a ATi chipset, its a nv [02:41] at one point I was able to alt-f2 and enter my login befopre the errors started rolling by and edit xorg to stopp using the new nvidia drivers and use nv instead and I was able to startx [02:41] ubuntu try booting safe mode and if you cant , well you can always boot from livecd and mount your root partition [02:42] kelsin: : The code for the program is Open Source, the Name and graphics are not . you can change anything you want, but you can't call it FF and distribute after you have made those changes without Mozilla's permission. [02:42] ubuntu: choose safe mode from your grub menu, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and take generic settings for everything. [02:42] that should get you back to a GUI [02:42] my grub menu auto load into ubuntu [02:42] ubuntu,sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command [02:42] for example Flock is based on FF [02:42] ubuntu: if you're on the LiveCD try Safe Graphics mode [02:42] kelsin: Alright I have the Advance options box checked and ALSA audio output selected I also have the HDa Intel: STAC92xx Digital device selected in AlSA Device name [02:42] EdwardXP: if you want the "time" part to change you jsut set it in the profile editor for gnome terminal, if you want to change the "C:" part you need to learn how to edit the bash prompt [02:42] LOGAN: yes that's basically what I just said [02:42] whats the command for loading the hda1 where ubuntu is installed [02:42] Im no legal expers and most times licenses confuse me because they are written in laywer talk [02:43] livecd works fine [02:43] ubuntu you mean how to mount your partition ? [02:43] how do i fix the problem where the splash screen never loads.. it is making it take forever for ubuntu 7.10 to load [02:43] any eprom expert here? [02:43] juano__, yes [02:43] chmod something... i do believe. [02:43] Highlife: if you still get the /dev/dsp error when you try to play sound that's very odd, since that's a oss error [02:43] kelsin : just means you cannot make your own version of FF then :( [02:43] r3n0c: you can choose to boot without splash [02:43] "does anyone know of where i can find proper 3d acceleration drivers for linux" for radeon 9200 cards, which are graphics cards made by ati. [02:43] scguy318, where [02:43] hi, how can i change the font color of gtk apps (kubuntu) [02:43] LOGAN: if you don't call if FF and don't use it's icons you can [02:43] ubuntu: it should mount automatically if it detects installation, but if not try sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/somedir [02:43] r3n0c: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst, its in defoptions [02:43] i must learn [02:44] !ati | btard [02:44] btard: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:44] r3n0c: this line # defoptions= [02:44] r3n0c: make it look like what I have written [02:44] ubuntu: first mkdir /media/rootpart , then mount /dev/hda1 /media/rootpart [02:44] kelsin : it seems its not even allowed to spread a version with a few preferences changed [02:44] r3n0c: then do sudo update-grub [02:44] kelsin: I'm not getting any errors any mroe [02:44] but i still don't have sound [02:44] scguy318, ok one sec [02:44] Anyone know why Ubuntu doesn't know what Monitor my Compaq V3633AU is using? [02:44] I am just here [02:44] LOGAN: not if you use their name and icons. [02:44] Were does MS L@@KOut cache emails ? [02:45] ubuntu: from there then just cd /media/rootpart and youll be inside your ubuntu HDD installation [02:45] hey root partitions are detected by default first do mkdir /media/rootpart , then mount /dev/hda1 /media/rootpart [02:45] scguy318, so if after deftoptions it says default splash [02:45] Highlife: any messages in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog? [02:45] scguy318, i just take out splash? [02:45] i found it :) [02:45] if it isnt working mate [02:45] i still don't understand why he just doesn't reconfigure X, cuz i'm betting he's just gonna hose xorg.conf doing whatever he's gonna do. [02:45] coolbhavi: yep i told him that first, but just incase it didnt he would need to do that [02:45] r3n0c: sure, take out quiet if you want to see kernel messages [02:45] i tried to install vmware and it continually attempts to install each time i update i tried to remove completely from using Synaptic but still ......

Thats how I installed mine. [02:46] kk [02:46] kelsin : well that dissapointed me a bit. Dont worry I get over it [02:46] I assume there's no driver for a via crhome9 hc integreated video card right?

[02:50] ubuntu: those are backups [02:51] ubuntu: yes [02:51] ubuntu: what jrib said [02:51] scguy318, new question, it loaded just find, and i also did sudo update-rc.d gdm remove [02:51] Terminal < Dos [02:51] does anyone knwo what this comment means? AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" [02:51] scguy318, but when i load i type login... but it then just says password: never prompting for username [02:52] scguy318, then once it fails, it prompts for username [02:52] scguy318, anyway to fix this? [02:52] how come when i boot the live cd it boots in 640x400??? [02:52] r3n0c: login is the username prompt [02:52] r3n0c: unless I'm missing something? [02:52] jrib: many thanks [02:52] scguy318, oooo. well it never says username: it just leaves the cursor flashing after it finishes loading, so i typed login... to start that? [02:52] how do i make it have a bigger resloution? [02:53] but i guess that that was the username prompt [02:53] r3n0c: ubuntu prematurely starts the login process on tty1 [02:53] r3n0c: since it starts the login processes while everything is loading, instead of after [02:53] kelsin: do you know what command I would use to transfer the file over to windows while I am logged through putty? [02:53] r3n0c: annoying but not sure how to fix [02:54] r3n0c: a good question tho :) [02:54] scguy318, what do you mean that seems like what is happoening [02:54] punkgy: sorry I didn't explain, on the putty page there is also a puttyscp or something like that program, that's the one to use to transfer files [02:54] ok, so i could just type the username at start? and it'll work , ok. i guess that that is fine [02:54] Ubuntu is heavier than SuSE [02:54] Well I am not sure thats what I want although it is what I mean... [02:54] ok, that makes sense, thanks [02:54] punkgy: using the same syntax as scp on linux, so on the windows shell it's like "pscp ubuntu-user@ubuntu-ip:/path/to/file ." or something like that [02:55] ubuntu: you need a better nickname, everytime someone says ubuntu, it alerts you, not a good idea in ubuntu [02:55] that is, I want any app to open in the _normal_ place and not particular apply to particular apps [02:55] ubuntu: ? [02:55] scguy318: he's delirious [02:55] IndyGunFreak: apparently :P [02:56] punkgy: (the other solution is to make sure simple file sharing is on on windows and then share a folder and you should be able to browse to it through nautilus and the "Place -> Network" menu in ubuntu, but I always go for the command line way ussually :) [02:56] * emgent heya [02:56] hey, is anyone familiar with firestarter/networking? [02:56] hi, how can i change the font color of gtk apps manually, cause of the definition in "kcontrol>appearance and themes" is ignored. [02:56] clanmac10: probably not possible with gnome / metacity, devilspie can probably make rules for ALL apps, still probably your best bet [02:56] naegling23: better just to ask your question, people will answer if they knwo anything [02:57] why should it do it in the first place [02:57] its move of a bug if you ask me [02:57] clanmac10: I must have missed the initial conversation, where is it placing your apps now?

[03:02] ubuntu: so the answer is yes [03:03] clanmac10: I would try to right click ont he panel and change it's positon to the bottom and back to the top, and then change it's size and then put the size back to maybe reset the X settings dealing with parts of the screen like that [03:03] jrib: whats the command to delete in the console? I forget (<- still a linux nooblet) [03:03] terminal* [03:03] IndyGunFreak, No i dont see the grub menu I have had a dual boot configuration on this machine before so I know what you mean by selecting safe mode from the grub menu [03:03] DM|: I'm still listening yes, but you're better off just asking your question with kelsin: at the front, I'll respond if I can/am here [03:03] Jack_Sparrow, Yes [03:03] eltux: ubotu's message explains, but it is 'rm -rf PATH'. Be *very* sure you did not make a typo === bbell is now known as PiranhaP [03:03] Jack_Sparrow, Currently I am in livecd [03:03] jrib: okay. thank you [03:03] Kelsin I finally solved it... i had to fiddle and fiddle and fiddle.. for some reason ubuntu is set up to default to a low graphics if x crashes, which is fine, without this "bullet proof X" it was easier to fix... [03:04] I have my hd install mounted [03:04] ubuntu: if you're not seeing a grub menu, then you have more problems than jsut a display issue. [03:04] ubuntu: you may now need to hit esc to get to grub for recovery mode.. [03:04] Kelsin wasnt a question hehe just talking [03:04] ubuntu: later.. time for dinner [03:04] DM|: glad to hear it [03:04] Jack_Sparrow, Ahh that helps [03:04] hello [03:04] how to install GRUB to my sata? [03:04] Thanks guys canonical should hire you! [03:04] libdvdplay0? [03:04] kelsin now im going to go start a sit in to get rid of bullet proof x [03:04] setting grup install to (sd0) instead (hd0) failed... :( [03:04] wsv123456: ? [03:04] scguy318, lol well um it wasn't very happy while trying to start gdm while i was ..... already using gnome lol [03:05] scguy318, but i'll see if the videos work now [03:05] how to install grub to MBR or sata (sda)? sd0 fails... [03:05] rewks: you shouldn't write sd0, its like hd(number, number) [03:05] burning! [03:05] rewks: grub uses it's own naming scheme, sda might be called hd0 [03:06] scguy318: orly? so whats the no for sda ? [03:06] scguy318, ok well it works now.... would it be possible to do gdm.... instead of startx... at login? [03:06] kelsin: if hd0 is sda then what is hda and hdb ? [03:06] it depends on your computer, if you're inside of grub (meaning you typed grub and are on a grub prompt) you can type hd and hit tab to see some info [03:06] Why doesn't AWN use my icon theme? [03:06] kelsin: Im installi'n ubuntu [03:06] rainwalker: AWN uses its own theme engine. === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude [03:06] because awn has its own icons i thought. and themes [03:07] r3n0c_: if gdm doesnt start automatically you'll prob have to do that, dont quote me on that [03:07] PirateHead: Ah, ok then [03:07] rewks: grub uses it's own COMPLETELY DIFFERENT naming scheme, it calls hard drives hd0, hd1, etc has nothing to do with hda, sda and the like [03:07] my ubuntu doesnt understand my mouse bindings [03:07] has there been a release of the vmware optimized version of Ubuntu yet? [03:07] rainwalker: Eventually AWN and Gnome may get better integration, but keep in mind that AWN is still a very young project. [03:07] kelsin: Yes thats correct, it started happening after a dpkg-configure xserver-xorg and a new nvidia card to start using compiz-fusion [03:07] rewks: this is an error you're getting while installing? [03:07] i cant press the back and forward buttons to use them as back forward [03:07] PirateHead: even though the applets use the icons from my theme? [03:07] * rewks slaps grub for using strange conventions [03:07] so, firestarter is unable to start my firewall, can anyone help me out here, Im connected through a router, but im getting two devices, eth0 and eth1, should I have both? [03:07] scguy318, ... omg... .is r3n0c still online....... that is me... [03:07] naegling23, one may be your wireless? [03:07] scguy318, ... hmmm running starx... then gdm... is just bad... i'm logged in twice [03:07] nope, no wireless here [03:08] thanks [03:08] rainwalker: It isn't that there is no integration. If you are interested in the specifics, you can check out what documentation there is, ask the email list, dig through the source code, and so on. [03:08] PirateHead: also, wouldn't GTK integration be more important than GNOME integration? [03:08] r3n0c_: if GNOME is already running switch to the terminal that the X server is running on [03:08] r3n0c_: Ctrl-Alt-F7 or w/e [03:08] anyone familiar with compiz that can help me out with skydome? I have an image selected, but it only displays the gradient in the background [03:08] should I try to remove one of them somehow? [03:08] rainwalker: GTK is desktop-agnostic, so it doesn't deal with GNOME's icon themes, configuration, and so on. [03:08] r3n0c_: you dont need to start X twice, unless I'm missing someting [03:08] lol omg [03:09] rainwalker: For AWN to totally fit into the Ubuntu desktop, it will need integration both on the GTK and Gnome levels. [03:09] this is sweet... but useless [03:09] gonna just restart and see if i can fix [03:09] PirateHead: ah, I was just thinking GTK [03:09] gek1, make sure the image is set as a plugin in compiz settings [03:09] why does ubuntu doesnt know the button forward and back [03:09] in the mouse [03:09] gek1: also make sure that the image is sized to a power of 2 in each direction [03:09] naegling can you elaborate please [03:09] eh im a total noob at compiz i jus tDLed it today [03:10] !automation [03:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about automation - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:10] power of 2 meaning if my desktop is 1280x1024, the image should be like 2560x2048? [03:10] gek1, go to the compiz settings manager, go to the image loading area, make sure that all the images are selected [03:10] i know you can forward by holding left mousebutton then tappiong on the right and for left its reciprocal but theyr is a binding in some new mouses where you can forward back easily just by tapping like in windows .. any ideas ? must i buy a new mouse? [03:10] yes naegling, they are all selected [03:10] geck1: no, power of two meaning two^(something) ie 512, 1024, 2048 etc [03:11] wasn't there some sort of orange/black version of the gutsy wallpaper during a beta? [03:11] !console [03:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about console - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:11] !konsole [03:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about konsole - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:11] !cli | btard [03:11] btard: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:12] belyle, so if my desktop is 1280x1024, what size does the skydome image need to be? [03:12] rewks: grub is running at a level below the linux kernel, it makes sense it doesn't use the linux kernel's conventions cause it can be used on any computer, not only ones with linux [03:12] geck1: actually, the skydome size really has nothing to do with your desktop size [03:12] how u gonna ban people if there is no operator [03:13] belyle, i dont know if i follow what you mean then about the power of 2? [03:13] geck1: you can make it any size, although I recommend about a 1024x1024 if you aren't running a widescreen [03:13] clanmac10: are you using metacity or compiz atm? [03:13] belyle: so if I do have a widescreen, what size should the skydome be? [03:14] geck1: Do you mean Xx2 or X^2? [03:14] well, 2^1 = 2, 2^2=4 ... 2^5=32 ... and so on, 512 is a power of two, 1024 is a power of two, etc [03:14] operator011, i'm not sure =P belyle was saying something about it [03:14] belyle but what are you making a power of 2? [03:14] oh just the skydome image size? [03:15] any recommendation for a webmail system? [03:15] scguy318, ... ok i have to login 2x now..... [03:15] geck1: the dimensions of the image. but as was said before, you need to make sure the plugin is enabled (check mark) for the skydome, and the plugin for that image type is enabled [03:15] i've heard about squirrelmaiil before if i recall correctly..? [03:15] both are enabled, i double checked....yet it still wont show the image [03:15] scguy318, it loads fine to text... i login.. type sudo gdm... then it runs gdm... which makes me login again.. in visual mode, then it loads gnome [03:15] where's the info page for Compiz Fusion? someone is asking about it and I don't know where to tell them to look [03:15] hi, i'm having troubles burning an .iso to DVD with dvdrecorder from terminal [03:16] rainwalker, what info.. like the config? [03:16] is there a resolution limit? [03:16] r3 [03:16] r3n0c: no, like the page that explains what it is and all that [03:16] kelsin:Sorry I did not see you reply, compiz [03:16] geck1, it's only limited by your monitor [03:16] rainwalker, o... sry, all i remember is to open the config... ccsm [03:16] hmm k [03:17] clanmac10: I would check out gconf-editor and goto "apps -> compiz" and make sure nothing about "struts" is unchecked, but I'm not running compiz so hard for me to help you past this :) good luck [03:17] geck1, and your system's stats [03:17] brb [03:17] kk, i'll keep tinkering away, i may be back for more help =) thanks guys [03:18] over 1k users in here wow [03:18] Anyone know where the psubuntu channel is? [03:19] Dextorion: might want to look at Bongo if you need lots of features [03:19] oh, nvm-- it doesn't exist yet [03:19] Anyone here a psubuntu user? [03:20] ethana2: what is that channel for? you can access the channel list with the commmand !irc [03:20] Ubuntu on the PS3 cell processor [03:20] Evening y'all. Where do I find errors logged for OpenOffice crashes? [03:20] ethana2: net install? [03:20] but I found out they didn't make one yet, so nevermind [03:20] IowaDave: might be in ~/.xsession-errors [03:20] kelsin:Ok understood, many thanks for the help. What are "struts"? [03:20] no, I wanted to keep track of developments in psubuntu [03:20] kelson: thanks, will look there. [03:20] before I bought a ps3 [03:20] clanmac10: the gnome panel defines a "strut" (I think) which means don't place windows here :) [03:20] where is the modprobe.conf in gutsy ? [03:20] hi.. I just upgraded to gutsy gibon and added the trash and home folder to my desktop via the configuration editor .. but now they're not showing up even though they're checked in the config editor .. any ideas? [03:21] ethana2: not sure though there is a walkthrough on how to do it [03:21] clanmac10: I knwo in windows managers like FVWM and other VERY configurable ones you can tell certain windows to ignorestruts etc [03:21] right.. [03:21] clanmac10: so clearly either gnome-panel is not defining them, or compiz is not listening [03:21] but I wanted to contribute ideas in real time... they just need to get a channel up [03:21] which hasn't hapenned yet [03:21] ethana2: set one up yourself [03:21] How do I do that? [03:22] can I do that on freenode? [03:22] compiz problem. was working for 2 days no problem, then i restarted and now I can't make it work. i've enabled/disabled/enabled restricted drivers. suggestions?

I know crossover is capable of installing office2003 and f I am not mistaken MS offers something to make office2003 to open office2007 or something of this sort. My Q: Would it be possble to install office2003 thru crossover office and then install that tool of MS? Thanks === [ is now known as lulz [04:04] help me please! Thanks in advanced. [04:04] K_Dallas probably, something i would look at the Xover office site for [04:04] mattycoze in the dmesg output you pasted before it should show where it mounted before, was there some output missing? [04:04] dutchie86, thanks, i then google their site for that [04:04] K_Dallas: open office can open those office2007 files as well [04:05] hi i'm having problems with the menus in gnome. i also have kde installed and the menu is showing the same thing as the kde menus which makes it annoying to access system configuration and whatnot in gnome. anyone know anything about this?

Ubuntu didnt do anything.. But not to argue.. lets get it fixed [04:07] hello! I attempted to upgrade a fedora 7 box to fedora 8 today. After wasting 6 or 7 hours on trying to get it running again properly (grub wouldnt boot automatically, among other problems, I had to type in the configfile every time it booted), I decided to try ubuntu 7.10. It has been a little bit of a learning curve, but it installed cleanly, came right up, and is just a world of difference from my fedora experience. Thank you v [04:07] dutchie86 Gutsy and I am using the Gnome GUI [04:07] what file system is the fastest [04:07] in the install of Ubuntu server it had a problem creating a swap aprtion then mounting, now my hdd can't hold any kind of a partition [04:07] dwilson805: welcome to Ubuntu [04:07] mattycoze i know there is nothing wrong with your hard disk it could be that if you removed it before it cant mount to the mount point where it wants to and has a hissy fit [04:07] card13: do you have livecd.?

[04:18] dutchie86 scguy318 is that a problem? [04:18] I see - I didnt understand that ubuntu comes up by default with no firewall running. I was looking around for config files that didnt yet exist. [04:18] wait, does Gutsy fit in 1gb? [04:18] !firewall [04:18] tilda. never heard of it. apt-cache search tilda? [04:18] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

Currently we have the hard drive configured as follows: [04:34] sda1 99GB ext3 34GB's used [04:34] sda2 [04:34] sda5 1GB swap [04:34] We would like to 2 10GB ext3 partitions, keeping the current install on one of them and later installing ubuntu 7.04 on the second 10GB partition. Additionally, we would like to keep our existing data contained in /home, but make it a separate 79GB partition allowing it to be mounted from a boot of either OS install, and retain the current 1GB swap. [04:34] Can this be done easily? We are aware we would need to use gparted but would appreciate any help in providing instructions on the sequence of operations needed to accomplish this safely and properly.

[05:03] A question: I discovered upon installing 7.10 in a dual boot configuration that my BIOS does not support booting after a certain cylinder limit, as GRUB always gave me an error 18 when attempting to boot to Ubuntu. [05:03] So, I was told that a solution was to simply install with /boot in a 500MB area at the beginning of the disk from an old diagnostic partition. So, during the install, I told the partitioner to create a small partition at the beginning of the drive containing with mount point /boot/ and a large partiton about 70GB in with mountpoint / (I also, of course, created a swap partition). Upon booting in to [05:03] Ubuntu GRUB once again gave me an error 18. Have I done something incorrectly? [05:03] pg:then why dont you install it i had liek 5 os's on my mp [05:03] pc [05:04] clay3482: link liek?

If i use the Xvnc server on the gutsy box and connect to it, i get a split second gdm login screen, then it crashes and i get disconnected. (Xvnc4 using xdmcp to connect to itself). If i use cygwin and it's xserver, it connects, and i can get a desktop. [05:09] what's goin on here? [05:09] is there anyway to make a link in ubuntu without the OS adding "LINK TO" to the link?

I have Ubuntu installed already, and want to use xp aswell, not the other way around, which is what the guide tells me how to do, it seems. [05:13] clay3482: How do you do it so it adds "link to"?

It is a pain having to go back and rename every file without the "LINK TO" added - I can do it but it is a pain - I was just wondering i [05:15] Quick question. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with a custom kernel. I have the appropriate nvidia drivers installed and can run OpenGL apps with no problem. Gnome however will not allow me to enable the extra desktop effects without the restricted driver. (Which I am already using.) I cannot use the restricted driver manager because I am using a custom kernel. [05:15] f their was an easy way to make the OS default to not add "LINK TO" when making a link.? [05:16] clay3482: drag them while holding ALT, then click make link [05:16] so when I type sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg, it returns the error: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove).

Chances are you installed it interactively through a website. You need to go into synaptic, search for flash, completely remove it. Then completely reinstall it. Be sure that mozilla is closed. Then report back. [05:56] http://paste.stgraber.org/ [05:56] Fekall: gtf [05:56] kiyoshi: Try reinstalling the plugin using synaptec [05:57] gtf?

[06:04] pjeide, are you still here [06:05] so I add that into my config in the section Monitor...right [06:05] nnotonekind: Sure. So you are dual booting widows XP and ubuntu 7.1? [06:05] no [06:05] I am booting ubuntu from a cd [06:06] I have my laptop set up for dhcp and my internet server give me three name servers but they are in the wrong order; How can I reverse the order for listing in resolv.conf automatically?

[06:06] well that didnt freaking work [06:06] now i have to reinstall [06:06] how can i install i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc on my amd64 [06:06] w30: cant you change it in network-manager? [06:07] w30: it isn't necessary....they are searched until one is found that works [06:07] i need the tool chain for i686 because I'm trying to cross compile [06:07] TigranG: no, it gets overwritten by dhcp. [06:07] nnotonekind: Sorry, I know someone was helping you. But I don't understand the backstory. Can you tell me about your setup and what happened. I see what you've tried, but I still need some more info. [06:07] well right now, what I want to do [06:07] kiyoshi: What sounds mixer are you using? [06:07] is to get Ubuntu to let me access my C drive [06:08] w30: but if you really want to...the nameservers are stored in /etc/resolv.conf [06:08] when I go "places/computer" it just has file system [06:08] nnotonekind: From the live dc right? And keep the explanations on one line. [06:08] yes, sorry. [06:08] thor: it takes forever to resolve names when it has to go through all three names to get to the active name server. [06:08] w30: it can be edited with gedit or vi but has to be edited as root [06:08] alsa i think [06:08] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave is what comes up when trying to run flash [06:09] The Mhz setting on my video never stays set. I change it to 97 mHz but at each boot up it's back to 50 mHz? [06:09] nnotonekind: ok... when when you copied those files over did you do anything special? Or just boot the live cd and copy the files? [06:09] great i gotta reinstall [06:09] Makes screen grainy instead of smooth [06:09] now everything is really fucked [06:09] Fekall: Yes [06:09] kiyoshi: Go reinstall then. You're too impatient for me to help you. [06:09] thor: name resolving is lightning fast if I just use the last of the three name servers but slow as hell if I use all three [06:09] I booted the live cd, cut the files, and then pasted them into "my documents". that's all. [06:09] ok...then I added "1680x1050_60" [06:10] no [06:10] w30: did you see my info about editing /etc/resolv.conf? [06:10] did you run gtf? [06:10] into the subsection display [06:10] yes [06:10] ok [06:10] I did [06:10] nnotonekind: But otherwise, it's an entirely XP system? That's the only thing on there? [06:10] change "1680x1050_60" to the name of your display [06:10] and added this to my config in monitor section [06:10] so... anybody using the lowlatency kernel? I'm having hibernate issues... [06:10] or device.. i cant remember [06:10] in both sections [06:10] Do you mean the only operating system? if so than yes. [06:10] Fekall: I am no expert, sorry.. [06:10] thor: yeah, that works good but every time I boot I have to re-edit resolv.conf cause dhcp over writes it. [06:11] moreso than I am ...I really apprectiate your help [06:11] bomanizer: You might have more luck in #ubuntustudio [06:11] nnotonekind: Home or Pro? [06:11] k htx [06:11] erm [06:11] Home I think. Or Media Center of thats an option. [06:11] w30: where you define the network card you should be able to define the servers...that should turn off the updates [06:11] nnotonekind, media center is pro [06:12] thor: I suppose I will have to try a cron job to do it but I was hoping for something else. [06:12] w30: I don't use gnome...xfce...so I don't know where to find it in gnome [06:12] nnotonekind, pro plus the media center stuff ;) [06:12] Hmm... well, tell you what. Gutsy has this thing called ntfs-3g that I've used loads to read and write from ntfs. You can see your files with the Ubuntu live cd? That is, you can see them and open them? [06:12] haha. alright. [06:12] w30: you don't need a cron job...it is possible to not update from the dhcp server [06:12] ArthurArchnix: you have been able to read ntfs by default for many years [06:12] astro76: Thanks... was wondering about encrypted "my documents" preventing a sensible write. [06:13] hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages [06:14] ArthurArchnix: does the live CD support ntfs partitions? [06:14] Flannel: You have a point, or maybe want to step in? I'm no expert on NTFS like you, so if you'd like to help I'd be glad to step aside. === Un|Ko` is now known as OzRiC [06:15] thor: Yes. At least, I'm sure it has read. I'm not sure if the live cd mounts ntfs FS's as r/w... I'd hope not. [06:15] :) [06:15] For what its worth, I was able to see the C drive the first two times I booted Ubuntu. But this time I loaded it, got a Daemon error, and cant see my C drive [06:15] hmm, gnome main menu fails to open so when i run alacarte i get :ImportError: no module named glade. just not sure to what package i should install..i seem to have all the packages [06:15] ArthurArchnix right...I know it reads them, but I don't know about writes [06:15] 有人在吗 [06:15] !cn | feixuexiao [06:15] feixuexiao: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:16] ArthurArchnix the restore would have been ntfs, and the hard drive ntfs, but it sounds like the write by the live cd may have scrambled the drive [06:16] thor: I haven't even figured out why nnotonekind is booting an ubuntu cd yet :) [06:17] ArthurArchnix that crossed my mind too [06:17] you guys what's the command to start the auto program that congigs my X11 xorg config file [06:17] I want to remote login to my office system from home. what software is required for this.. both r running ubuntu 7.10 [06:17] nnotonekind: Are you able to boot windows? [06:17] A friend recommended it as a solution. Yes I can boot windows just fine. [06:17] sleepwalk:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh === T1m is now known as T1m0thy [06:18] nnotonekind: If you can boot windows, can you not log into your account? [06:18] thanks thori [06:18] I can log in. There are just 90 GB of files I cant access when logged into windows. when I used Ubuntu I found them in a folder and tried to move them. [06:18] I don't think ssh will work for this.. [06:19] nnotonekind: Ok... I feel like we're making progress here. When you say there's 90GB of files you can't access.... what do you mean? [06:19] glassface: ssh is the best bet...what exactly do you want to do? [06:19] Dumb question what command do you put in terminal to get to usr/lib directory? [06:19] I want to controll my office system or my friend's system to help.. [06:20] and for that I need to login to their systems.. [06:20] but they are not having public ip's [06:20] I did a PC recovery and all my files disappeared. my program files stayed, and the space on my hard drive was still being taken up by them, But they were NOWHERE to be found. I literally searched everywhere possible. My properties for the C drive told me I had 223 GB of space, with 90 GB free. I caculated everything on my C drive and it only equaled 40 GB. So the files were there, but windows wasn't recognizing them. [06:20] glassface: ok...I do this with my systems so...are you ready to take notes? [06:20] Hanyou: cd means change directory [06:20] cd /usr/lib [06:20] yes.. [06:21] ArthurArchnix: It says it cannot find directory. [06:21] glassface: first I would suggest you use ssh and tunneling. There are several howtos that explain it...I will just give yhou the commands and you can look further if you want. [06:21] ok [06:21] if I add the xfce desktop to gutsy will the effects stll work ? like the wobbly windows. [06:21] nnotonekind: And you've searched Windows XP help channels? I just ask because, it's possible that an Ubuntu Live cd will recover your files, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first step. [06:21] Ok, nvm wrong window [06:21] Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam??? [06:22] glassface: I would suggest moving ssh off of port 22...change the port assignment in /etc/sss/sshd_config to something like 45000 [06:22] Hanyou: Do cd /usr [06:22] ok [06:22] glassface: you need then to open port 45000 on the firewall or wifi router, and then forward it to the local IP address port 45000 [06:22] Hanyou: the do "ls" to show what directories and files are available [06:22] glassface: remember, on the machine you wnat to control you have to run ssh-server (sshd) [06:23] Well I FOUND my files with Ubuntu. When I tried moving that folder it appeared in my documents, where i put it, but I still couldnt access it. Then I loaded Ubuntu up again and it turned all the files in that folder into one single index.dat file. Someone then recommended I do a system recovery to before I moved the files, so I loaded Ubuntu yet again, and was going to do that, but my C drive isnt being seen by Ubuntu anymore. [06:23] Hello is there a app for UBUNTU that is like hypper cam??? [06:23] ok. [06:24] oh! and It was recommended that I load Ubuntu, go to my "windows partition" and rename a previous recovery to the current one. I dont remember exactly how they put it, but it was something like that. [06:24] glassface: you are going to use vnc to control the other computer...I think you can set it up so they can see what you are doing...but I have never tried that part. You have to run vncserver on the computer you want to control with the command 'vncserver :1' [06:24] nnotonekind: Don't worry about it nnotonekind. I realize the files are still there... probably.. and that ubuntu saw them. What I'm saying is, you're asking Ubuntu to mess with XP and NTFS. Both are closed source and the Open Source community has had to do its best to work with it without MS cooperation. So, what i'm saying is if a MS solution is availabe, it's probably best to try that first. [06:24] what if I want to access more than one systems from our office.. there are nearly 20 systems which are sharing same connection with 192.168.0.x ip address.. will it work.. [06:24] glassface: there are other options you might want to use....do a ' man vncserver' to see them all. [06:24] I'm getting error 17 at stage 1.5 of grub after an install of gutsy, what should I look for? I booted on the dvd and mounted my root fs [06:25] There wasnt. I went through support and they kept telling me it was spyware, or that the 90 GB were just hidden system files. They werent helping me at all. [06:25] I am running ubuntu 7.10, and I have an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 card, and I can't seem to find the drivers for it, can anyone help me? [06:25] I worked with ssh,sshd, vncserver in the office. now it is different.. [06:25] glassface: you log in to the other machine via ssh with the command 'ssh -L 5901::5901 where the ipaddress is the address of the computer you want to control. This sets up the ssh tunnel [06:26] ok.. looks like that it will work out.. [06:26] glassface: by using an ssh tunnel you only have to open the ssh port on the firewall...everything else goes through that [06:27] glassface: when you have logged in via ssh...just run vnc on your computer and point it to 'localhost:1' ...it should automatically be forwarded to the other machine. [06:27] nnotonekind: Let's go to a PM... I'd like to try and help you, but I'm not sure the OPS will allow this kind of thing here. This seems like XP trouble. [06:27] thanx.. thor. [06:27] glassface: youi might need 'locahost:5901'....can't recall at the moment [06:27] will try this one now. [06:28] glassface: good luck [06:28] alright, did you get my PM? [06:28] Hi I just ran an update in 64bit Ubuntu 7.10 and now it is giving these cupsys errors whenever I try to update and I can't reinstall cupsys from synaptic HELP??

[06:48] Windows Vista (IPA: /ˈvɪs.tə/) is a line of graphical operating systems used on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media centers. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn".[1] Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months it was released in stages to... [06:48] ...computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide to the general public,[2] and was made available for purchase and downloading from Microsoft's web site.[3] The release of Windows Vista comes more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span... [06:48] Windows Vista contains hundreds of new and reworked features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication... [06:48] Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[4] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early... [06:49] ...between two releases of Microsoft Windows. [06:49] ...between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write applications than with the traditional Windows API. [06:49] ...2002 a company-wide "Trustworthy Computing initiative" which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft stated that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, thus delaying its completion.[5] [06:49] !ops [06:49] Help!

[07:18] !tell n00b about synaptic [07:18] ^root^ I have never used that...but it might be worth a try [07:18] crdlb: what do you mean by that? [07:18] !loadable kernel modules [07:19] <^root^> that works for ext2, its nice app, i have some experience with it, trying it on ext4 [07:19] slowthy: you said you "switched over to the i810 card"? [07:19] from what? [07:19] oh, my bad, I ment i changed the drivers from the generic intel driver to the i810 driver [07:19] HateX: query ubotu in private when you're shooting in the dark for information like that [07:19] slowthy: there's nothing generic about "intel" [07:20] it's a newer version of the i810 driver [07:20] i810 is only still included because some people have more success with the older version [07:20] Please help!!! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3876597#post3876597 [07:21] something went wrong with grub [07:21] <^root^> i am leaving, re-installing all stuff back.... [07:21] again, my bad, the exact name of the driver that i was using by defaut is "intel -Experimental modesetting driver" [07:22] Does anyone have any idea how to generate the (R) character in ubuntu? It is normally just ALT+0174 w/ MS Windows. [07:22] slowthy: that's somewhat inaccurate, it's quite stable in gutsy [07:22] it's the driver you should be using [07:22] how do I specify which screen to launch an application in with Xinerama? [07:23] crdlb: well then, is there any way i can get beter preformance out of it, because I have ued ubuntu on a computer with a lesser intel card, and am able to use all the vissual enhancements, but oon this computer, I can;t use any? [07:23] any hints on where to look if a custom kernel breaks hibernation? [07:24] [Gutsy] I tried Suspend-to-Disk unsuccessfully. Now ifconfig > eth0 doesnt show an IP address any more. 'sudo ifup eth0' replies: "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." What should I do now? [07:24] slowthy: switch back to intel, then I may be able to help you fix it [07:24] Okay i have a bit of a lengthy problem. I decided to install Ubuntu on my family computer...without permission but i figured it would be fine since i've already installed it on three of the computers in the house without a problem and been using it on my own without windows for over a year. Anyways, enough about the situation, let's get down to the problem. [07:24] The family computer has 2 HDDs in it. A 40 GB disk and a 120 GB disk. Both drives contain an installation of Windows (The installation on the 40 GB drive got messed up and we got a new hard drive so there is now an installation on the larger drive as well but there were still some things that hadn't been moved from the old drive). [07:24] crdlb: ok, is there any way to do this in the terminal? [07:25] The LiveCD didn't work because of some display issue. It's an old computer and in case you were wondering it has an nvidia geforce2 mx/mx 400. Using the alternate CD, i tried partitioning that 120 GB drive since that one was mostly empty but for some reason it was unable to so i partitioned 5 GB off the 40 GB drive instead (ubuntu only requires 4). [07:25] bullgard1 have you had a look in the forums [07:25] Well the installation all went fine until it came to installing GRUB. Grub asked me if whether or not to install it to the master boot record, listed one installation of windows, and told me that i would be able to boot the listed operating systems if i were to install GRUB to the mbr. I said no since the other installation of windows was missing, and it asked me where to install it to instead. [07:25] It wasn't really clear on what the options were. It just listed the mbr, and two drives, on of which was on the same sick as the mbr. I'm too tired at this point to remember my reasoning but it was an admittedly stupid move. I tried one of the drives for whatever reason and it didn't work so i tried the other one and the installation was successful. HOWEVER, when the computer booted up, it just said No operating system detected or something along those lin [07:25] DPic: don't paste all that... [07:25] really sorry [07:25] !xconfig | slowthy [07:25] slowthy: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [07:25] that was pretty rude of me [07:25] dutchie86: Have you read the newspapers? [07:25] i'm just all wound up because if i don't have this fixed tomorrow i'm dead [07:26] ok [07:26] thakns [07:27] bullgard1 it is a common problem that certain hardware is not supported, people in here are happy to help but it is pretty redundant if it already discussed and reslolved in the forums [07:27] DPic: do you have the windows install cd? [07:27] Evening, ladies and gents [07:28] thos, not sure [07:28] thor * [07:28] i think so [07:29] DPic: you need to restore the mbr in windows, then the next time you install ubuntu first, give it a little more space...I would suggest 10-15G and answer yes when it asks about replacing the master boot record. Now...how to restore the mbr.... [07:29] well there was only enough for 5GB, i was going to expand it once we were ready to get rid of windows on that drive [07:30] hi all.. Can i just resize my / partition without affecting the other partition and without reinstall my KUbuntu? I'm using Gutsy now.. Thanks before [07:30] but yeah, hwo do i restore the mbr? [07:30] DPic: insert a windows install cd (it does not have to be the one for your computer....any one will do). Boot from the CD and when it asks choose "R"epair. When it drops to the dos prompt type 'fixmbr' and it should reboot from the hard drive [07:30] and, is it safe? [07:30] thor, that's it? [07:30] DPic: I can make it harder if you like [07:31] hmmm...i might like the challenge [07:31] lol thanks for the help! [07:31] thor: Can we just use the live cd to fix that? [07:31] sangprabo: you need the windows install cd...not the linux install cd [07:32] Only one in tonight, thor? [07:32] mjancaitis ? It appears I am the only one answering at the moment...but that will change I am sure [07:33] how can i install screenlets? [07:33] thor: any chance, in that case, that you have an idea why if my network disconnects, my keyboard stops responding? [07:33] quit [07:34] mjancaitis now that just begs for a smart answer...but I will exercise restraint . Sorry...I have no idea [07:34] :D [07:35] mjancaitis could be because your keyboard realizes there is no longer anyone to talk to [07:35] Can you help me find and remove all instances of ndiswrapper, then, including the module I may have loaded? [07:35] Aw, sad face [07:35] Hi guys! My Toshiba satellite seems not to be compatible with compiz. however i have seen people bypassing the blacklist and that is what i did. it seems to be working except for playing video/DVD . Is that all or I am missing other features of compiz? The reason that i am asking is that I don't care much about video on my laptop and if the other features are working I would be content. thanks [07:35] mjancaitis that is easy....first try 'sudo killall ndiswrapper' [07:35] I was wondering if anyone could recommend and easy to install and configure FTP program via console on ubuntu. [07:35] crdlb: ok, I have the x window working, is there any way I can get the visual enhancement to work? [07:36] mjancaitis the hard way is to to a 'ps ax | grep ndis' and kill each process individually [07:36] thor: done, no process killed [07:36] mjancaitis check the second command (ps ax...) and see if they are all gone [07:36] K_Dallas: playing videos with an overlay has less cpu load but may break with stuff like compiz(i dont know how to fix but it might be fixable) [07:36] gRnt: there is a console ftp installed by default [07:37] K_Dallas: but you should also be able to play the video without an overlay(with more cpu usage) [07:37] thor do you know how I can access it to set it up [07:37] thor: 6781 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep ndis... do I need to sudo killall 6781? or how do I go about that [07:37] K_Dallas: the way you do it depends on what video player you use [07:37] gRnt there is no setup...do a 'man ftp' and it will tell you all the command line options [07:37] clever, usually mplayer [07:37] mjancaitis no...that is the process you are running to look for ndis...it found only itself [07:37] K_Dallas: checking [07:37] thor: sweet [07:37] clever, is it the question of VO to be set to something other than XV or so [07:38] mjancaitis I have my moments [07:38] K_Dallas: yep [07:38] great, i will try that [07:38] K_Dallas: try -vo x11 [07:38] thanks [07:38] K_Dallas: -vo help will list all vo's your mplayer supports [07:38] thor: do I need to look for modules or anything like that, or is the simple non-presence of any files enough to preclude it from having any effect on my system? [07:38] true [07:38] K_Dallas: some are clearly not for X such as console vidix(for text/console mode) [07:39] clever, so besides the movie and overlay issue, i should be getting all the other features of compiz [07:39] K_Dallas: without root you cant realy do harm by picking a invalid mode [07:39] crdlb: ok, I have the x window working, is there any way I can get the visual enhancement to work? [07:39] mjancaitis if it isn't in the process list it isn't affecting your system...but it might load again at boot if necessary...I wouldn't have any way of knowing your setup [07:39] all right [07:39] K_Dallas: if the video card supports compiz everything should work [07:39] mjancaitis if it was only loaded manually by you...then it is gone [07:39] thor ive had a read but I will admit being this is my first install I am a little confused heh [07:39] thor: is there some list I can look at to see the modules it loads at boot? [07:40] thor: pretty sure ndis had me add it to etc/modules or something like that... modprobe.d and this and that [07:40] clever, only if it did ;) now i am wondering if this card of mine would ever get support in compiz [07:40] mjancaitis not easily...do a reboot and check for ndiswrapper again...see if it comes back. The modprobe thing loaded it manually...it might not load again at reboot [07:40] i think all it needs is to be able to do complex video stuff in the cards GPU [07:41] clever, i might change the graphic card in a few months [07:41] thor: ok, then... doesn't look like ndis is involved in my problem despite what google may say :( [07:41] Thanks [07:41] K_Dallas: i have 2 models of a dell laptop [07:41] mjancaitis you might have to follow the howto again inreverse and take out what you added [07:41] i removed vista trom this laptop and i am honestly so happy that i did it ;) my computer is now at least twice faster ;) [07:41] K_Dallas: one is older and doesnt work in compiz and the other does [07:41] i see [07:41] i only noticed the problem when another came up [07:41] the newer dell is my dads work pc [07:42] K_Dallas: but a while ago the hdd in it got corupt and the lcd on my older dell cracked [07:42] truth to be told, i am not much of an eye candy guy but i was darn too curious to see how compiz works as i hadnt touched ubuntu in over 2 years [07:42] K_Dallas: so i put my working drive in dads working computer and ubuntu had no trouble at all being in a diff pc [07:42] :) [07:43] K_Dallas: win95 even has trouble being moved between 2 nearly identical laptops [07:43] vista would probly have a heart attack after calling microsoft [07:43] lol [07:43] while playing arround with the new things i was able to do i found compiz worked [07:43] After installing git with sudo apt-get install git, I can't run git clone git://... as I get command not found. What's the problem? [07:43] clever: is there a way to tell vista has died? [07:43] clever: other than the improved performance [07:43] then it stoped working when i put the drive back in my old pc [07:43] thor: what's the reverse of modprobe? [07:43] you know that MS is making money because of this so no surprise ;) you probably know Al Wierd song about pentium and win95 [07:43] thor: lol [07:44] mjancaitis rmmod [07:44] slowthy: what does "glxinfo|grep direct" say? [07:44] thor: win95 had to reinstall half its drivers i think and even then it had problems [07:44] nevermind, solved.. I needed git-core [07:44] mjancaitis modprobe is relate to lsmod....lsmod installs a module, modprobe installs that module and all related modules as listed in modules.conf [07:45] thor: insmod loads the module [07:45] thor: lsmod lists the loaded ones [07:45] clever...oops right...insmod not lsmod [07:45] crdlb: it says yes [07:45] thor: rmmod unloads it, and modprobe can load&unload&load things the one you want depends on [07:45] must be getting late [07:45] yeah its 3am here:P [07:45] thor: clever: I see. Thanks guys [07:45] :) [07:46] slowthy: there doesn't seem to be a problem then. what happens if you try to enable visual effects? [07:46] clever...3! 3 would be a heatwave ... it is -30 here! [07:46] lol [07:46] i didnt say the temp was 3:P [07:47] 2 am and 70F. I win! :D [07:47] i said the time is 3am [07:47] ah....must be getting late [07:47] crdlb: "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [07:47] thor: and its -20 here last i checked [07:47] C or F? [07:47] C [07:47] slowthy: is this a i965? [07:47] no [07:47] i950 [07:47] slowthy: pastebin the output of compiz --replace [07:47] but dad doesnt think the therm is right [07:47] 51F here [07:47] but we cant find another one [07:48] libkopete: WARNING: [Kopete::Plugin* Kopete::PluginManager::loadPluginInternal(const QString&)] Unable to find a plugin named 'kopete_webpresence'!

[07:56] Mykrgrav: did you try with the capital R (sudo rm -Rf)?? [07:56] Danikar_X: after i tell it to skip all those things. it'll empty the contents. but my home folder isn't in the trash but it always tries to delete them when i empty so i get those messages [07:56] WGGMk: It shouldn't need to be capitalized. Id imagine he is just typing it wrong or the file doesnt exist. [07:56] when using nmap, trying to scan something it now says "Failed to find device eth0 which was referenced in /proc/net/route" which is right. im using eth1 how do i change what is says in /proc/net/route?

Any idea, everybody? [07:57] WGGMk: Well I think u can if u want, but I dont think it matters. [07:57] i see [07:58] when using nmap, trying to scan something it now says "Failed to find device eth0 which was referenced in /proc/net/route" which is right. im using eth1 how do i change what is says in /proc/net/route? [07:58] noodles: You are using the graphical button to empty it right? or are u doing something from the command line?

[08:05] HateX do a 'ps ax | grep dhcp' and kill the process that shows up...or try 'killall dhcpd' but I don't think that will work. Either way...you will have to kill it as root [08:06] ok could this be fixed by a restart maybe? [08:06] DPic: yeah...that was what I was afraid of...you might have scrambled something in the drive. That easy fix should have repaired the mbr...I have used it too many times [08:07] DPic...now it is time to try reinstalling linux and hope grub can write to the mbr for you [08:08] the easy fis with grub or the easy fis with the windows cd?

[08:16] smmagic: I have a large note that tells you how to reinstall grub....but have never used pastebin [08:16] is there a site that gives some basic shell commands that people might need [08:16] thor, if i found the windows cd and used that to fix the mbr instead, i don't suppose that would do anything, would it? [08:17] since this is a problem with the file system [08:17] I have no idea how to do it...geez [08:17] smmagic: this should work http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Making-a-GRUB-bootable-CD-ROM.html [08:17] DPic.

[08:17] no i said i can't find my windows cd [08:17] Is there an easy way to append one .wav file to another, via command line? [08:17] so i asked if just installing grub to the mbr would work [08:17] Hey.... what are some good gnome video creators... like kino [08:17] Don't I need ubuntu to do that? [08:17] DPic...ah...misunderstood. Yes, by all means find any windows install cd and try fixmbr first [08:18] One sec, [08:18] but isn't the mbr a whole different issue from the file system? [08:18] and what does the repair a broken system option do on the ubuntu install cd [08:18] smmagic: Can u access anything on ur Ubuntu drive with the Ubuntu Live CD?

[08:21] nuke it from space, its the only way to be sure [08:21] Ademan: I think if you logout to your login screen there is a setting there. Do you want it to boot to the CLI? [08:21] Ademan: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [08:21] oh yeah! the gdm, you're right, thanks [08:22] DPic: here's the link I was thinking of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=463534&highlight=Ted+Nancy [08:23] quesiton, how can I mount a remote directory as a user with nfs, so that a specific user has write access to it [08:23] rather than just root === tor is now known as t0r [08:23] ArthurArchnix, yeh .... i had fiesty going fine but there are a few bugs in gutsy which get me down .... i canw ait for them to be fixed ii suppose but i think ubuntu should recall that we dont all use dell's [08:24] Hello, I'm using a ATI Radeon x700 Mobility Graphics card and when I use "glxinfo | grep -i direct" I get thre return of "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)" I'm currently trying to get OpenGL to work in order to play a game in Wine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated:) [08:24] Hanyou: what Xorg module are you using? [08:24] Hanyou: you probably should be using ati module [08:24] ArthurArchnix, Thor, thanks, but sincei can't get into windows, how do i run the program? [08:24] How would I check that? [08:24] Hanyou: peek in your xorg.conf [08:25] Hanyou: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:26] DPic....you can run it from the dos prompt after you boot from the install cd [08:26] damn i've erally got no idea where that install cd is [08:26] scguy318: I have this in my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m669d7404 [08:26] and my parents are sleeping so i can't ask my dad [08:26] thor: the terminal cannot be compared to DOS :P [08:27] Hanyou: that's it? [08:27] Hanyou: are you missing something? [08:27] scguy318 sure it can...they are both places where most people don't have the foggiest what to type [08:27] now i go ahead and continure with the filesystem being "the wrong size", could i get into windows after fixing the grub issue and correct the problem then, if it still is one, or would windows not even be able to boot? [08:28] scguy318 but in this case we actually ARE talking about the dos prompt [08:28] if i* [08:28] scguy318: Sorry it skipped http://pastebin.com/m5caf808c [08:28] DPic not sure....I think the fixmbr is your best bet right now...but someone else might have another idea [08:28] i am searching for a good php IDE in ubuntu. any idea?

Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [08:31] acxoinsddfhen you could write a script that would do all the work with one command...if you are up on scripts [08:31] Hanyou: I was under the impression that fglrx was not required for legacy chipsets [08:32] ArthurArchnix since then, i have found that windows thinks the file system is a different size than it actually is now that i've resized the partitions which doesn't quite make sense to me because shouldn't windows know the change when i partition the disks? [08:32] scguy318: I had restricted drivers running...and now it's not running or accessible anymore [08:32] I just swtiched on this morning, and it's all gone haywire [08:32] scguy318: I have no idea I'm rather new to the whole Linux thing so I'm drwaing a blank. [08:32] drawing* [08:32] mikebeecham, you need to examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:32] mikebeecham: reinstall the package [08:32] like, how would people dual-boot if it didn't? [08:32] DPic: Lol. I find your sit amusing. You've secretly tied to change the OS. Son, You've got balls. [08:32] mikebeecham: if you're desperate to return to a GUI dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at recovery console and pick vesa [08:33] Hanyou: you could try replacing the fglrx line here: Driver "fglrx" <--- and change to Driver "vesa" [08:33] thor: how?? [08:33] Hanyou: I mean [08:33] Hanyou: ati [08:33] hi all [08:33] ArthurArchnix i've been waiting too long for this :) [08:33] Hanyou: not vesa, [08:33] scguy318: you mention vesa...is this anything to do with installing virtualbox yesterday, do you think? [08:33] mikebeecham: no [08:33] hmmm ok [08:33] Hanyou: make sure to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make the changes, then restart X [08:33] DPic: So what went wrong? More importantly, did you get PAST teh partitioning screen? [08:33] drivers... anyone looking to enable DRI? [08:33] I'm following a how to at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro. I'm trying to compile the kernel with sudo make -j2, but I get: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s'. Stop. [08:33] make: *** [prepare0] Error 2 [08:33] What's wrong? [08:34] acxoinsddfhen how what...how to write the script? Man, I am not going to try that here [08:34] Hanyou: since xorg.conf is owned by user/group root, you'll have to launch an editor with root permission like this: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:34] how to use tsclient to remotely access one linux machine from another, [08:34] ! wireless [08:34] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:35] ArthurArchnix, the first time i had no problem. the second time around, i got that message and haven't gotten past partitioning. there is the option to ignore the error but i'm not willing to do that yet. could it be that i installed grub onto one of the drives which resized the filesystem? i don't think so since making a change like that would have aken much longer than installing grub did [08:35] well i shouldn't say i had *no* problem the first time [08:35] scguy318: I went into Synaptics to choose the following: but it was not listed: linux-restircted-modules 2.6.22-14 server [08:35] just not this problem [08:35] DPic didn't you say something about telling grub not to write to the mbr the first time? [08:35] a nice tutorial for ubunty 7.04 on dell D610 laptops is located at: http://diskdump.googlepages.com/fiestyond610 [08:35] yeah [08:36] mikebeecham, one other simple thing to try would be to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [08:36] Hanyou: if when you restart X, it should fail to start, then you should go to recovery console and invoke the command [08:36] Hanyou: cp /etc/X11/nameoftheback /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:36] DPic...I think that is what is causing the problem. I think the error is misleading...it isn't saying the drive partition is the wrong size...it is saying something isn't right here in the dir space [08:36] Hanyou: then reboot and start normally [08:36] RatThing: then reboot I guess? [08:37] DPic: I'm looking at your link for background. But to help you I (we) need to know what you WANT to do, what you've TRIED to do, and what's HAPPENED so far. Also, to save time, tell us about your setup (OS's, on Hardrives, with Paritions, and cool customizations, with INTstructions.) [08:37] but it specifically says that the filesystem is the wrong size "for windows to like it" [08:37] mikebeecham, simplest option yes. [08:37] Ok I will try that [08:37] I have a problem compiling the kernel. Please help me: http://pastebin.com/d11f9af5b [08:38] okay...that's a lot of information. i could just post a reply to my topic on the forum to make it easier [08:38] DPic: For example "The installation on the 40 GB drive got messed up and we got a new hard drive so there is now an installation on the larger drive as well but there were still some things that hadn't been moved from the old drive" doesn't tell me much. What are you currently usng this drive for? [08:38] thor: where can I find more info on internet connection settings in linux?? [08:38] DPic: Good idea. post a clarification there, you can edit your original post. [08:39] the old drive still had windows on it and files that hadn't been moved to the new drive [08:39] alright yeah, i'll edit the forum post and let you know when i'm done [08:39] acxoinsddfhen, what type of internet connection [08:40] acxoinsddfhen, what settings ?

[08:45] thor: he asked how to restart I think [08:45] thor: unless I'm mistaken [08:45] slavi1, and create symlinks to the files php5.confand php5.mod (if i remember correctly) from the avaialable dir to the enabled dir and then restart apache [08:45] oops...my bad [08:45] Hanyou: check yer DRI [08:45] lfs: they are enabled (links are there) [08:45] RatThing: I just went into it via sudo...and my second monitor is not even visible? [08:46] slavi1, then you have to tell apache to send .php files to php .. [08:46] hi all. my laptop acts strange after upgrade to gutsy. it's about the video driver, ati x300. with the "ati" driver, it doesn't display right and X resets from time to time [08:46] slavi1, gimme a sec to get the syntax [08:46] got a desktop today, got Gutsy with advanced desktop effects running well using a CRT monitor at friends house, bring tower home to use on my lcd with vga-in and the bottom 1/8 th of the creen goes mssing if AWN is running and my title bars are missing if advancded desktop effects are disabled [08:46] does apache2 read the /etc/conf.d/ directory for config files? [08:47] I installed fglrx but after logging it, I get only a blank screen (the wallpaper)... fglrxinfo says segmentation fault, as many others (glxgears...) [08:47] slavi1, i suppose it reads the /etc/apache2 dir [08:47] mikebeecham, press: ctrl+alt+backspace, login again and try again. [08:47] anyone an idea pls? dunno what to do next [08:47] mikebeecham, if that does not work then it can be pretty simple to fix by editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:48] ok RatThing...will login again...sec [08:48] slavi1, also , you have to make changes to the php.ini file [08:49] hmm [08:49] what do I have to change? [08:49] ArthurArchnix? [08:49] do anyone know how to install screenlets [08:49] ? [08:49] slavi1, check if engine=on in php.ini [08:49] k [08:50] It's up but it's acting godawlful sluggish. [08:50] And my compiz doesn't work either. [08:50] DPic: Yes? [08:51] RatThing....it did not work mate...when I go into nvidia-settings, I can open up two monitors and set the parameters for them. However, i cannot apply them as it is talking about metamodes, etc [08:51] so I am stuck in 800 x 600 on one monitor? [08:52] well, you asked me what i want with my drives...now what? [08:52] mikebeecham, that is a step closer at least. :-) [08:52] RatThing: yes [08:52] mikebeecham, are both monitors on the same graphics card or do you have two graphics cards? [08:52] at least my graphics are not corrupted now [08:52] I forgot what the test line was. [08:53] RatThing: the same card - nVidia geForce 7600GT [08:53] it is on [08:53] and it's been working fine for about a week now since new linux install [08:53] lfs: could it be related to mysql? (php code by itself works) [08:53] mikebeecham, nice card. Can you confirm that you are running nvidia-settings as sudo so: sudo nvidia-settings [08:53] slavi1, oh yes maybe [08:54] RatThing: thanks...I am running it right now [08:54] lfs: I had a similar problem on another server where the memory would dissappear [08:54] is this something related to mysql? [08:54] DPic: Oh man. That's your idea of making things more clear? Hehe. No worries. We'll get it solved. That's the royal we... meaning you and maybe me, but defintiatley somebody. [08:54] the reason I have just found out that I was stuck on 800 x 600 is that I was editing the wrong screen...I am now in 1280 x 1024...but I still cant produce twinview, as it is talking about failed metamodes [08:54] ArthurArchnix, 120 GB HD should contain an installation of windows. 40 GB disk should contain windows and ubuntu. [08:55] the mtab is always located in the /etc directory ? [08:55] Hi, I'm back again, and we downloaded the gparted iso getting ready to partition our HDD. It comes up with a menu and we are uncertain which of the many options to allow it to boot from, and are uncertain what the first one which states (auto configuration) means. We don't wish to make any changes to the HDD just yet but only to look at it. Is someone familiar with this program who can tell... [08:55] ...us what is safe to do? === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog === GNUdog is now known as GNUdog|away [08:55] slavi1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161149 [08:55] RatThing: Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'CRT-0: 1280x1024 @1280x1024 +1280+0, DFP-0: 1280x960@75 @1280x960 +0+0' (Mode 2560x1024, id: 69) on X screen 0 [08:55] Would you like to remove this MetaMode?

[08:55] that is the message I get === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog [08:56] lfs: would saying that phpmyadmin used to work help? [08:56] DPic: So... you want three OS's, 40GB has Windows/Ubuntu and 120 has Windows. This is your desired outcome.Can you explain this? It doesn't make sense to me. [08:57] DPic: What you're desired outcome is important in terms of what kind of solutoins I (or others) provide, [08:57] because i wasn't able to partition the 120GB drive for some reason. plus, we're going to get rid of windows on the 40 GB drive once we've moved out all the files we need from there, at which point i can let ubuntu have the whole drive [08:58] Ok... so let's make things simple. Let's boot 120GB windows and copy all our files from40GB. What happened with this attempt? [08:58] Ok, this is really bugging me. My deskbar doesn't work at all, as in using tracker live. [08:58] How is it that ubuntu can tell what commands are supplied by what packages if you dont have them installed? [08:58] Hey [08:58] I have a trubble [08:58] lfs, used to help? [08:59] slavi1, used to work ? [08:59] ArthurArchnix, well that seems like it might just complicate things even more. I can't boot anything right now. Doesn't it just make more sense to fix this problem. The setup we have now is unconventional but there's no reason it can't work [08:59] nevermind [08:59] I dont care [08:59] someone know about tv configure? [08:59] mikebeecham, at this stage it would probably be better to examine your /etc/X11/xorg.conf at least then we will both be on the same page. :-) Can you backup your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf: sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ [09:00] someone know about tv configure? [09:00] slavil , i'm enjoying some good whiskey .. so lot of typos [09:00] slavi1, ;) [09:00] mikebeecham typo... [09:00] squee: that feature is provided by bash-completion [09:00] can you help me to watch tv? [09:00] in linux [09:00] mikebeecham, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ [09:00] DPic: I dunno. I'm just saying the order I'd try things. So you're saying that you can't copy the 40GB to the 120GB because your computer with both HD's wont' boot? [09:00] RatThing: sec [09:01] ArthurArchnix, yeah. when the computer boots up it immediately says no operating system found [09:01] no bios or anything [09:01] RatThing: why use sudo there? [09:01] in tvtime it's give me a black screen. [09:01] lfs: yes [09:01] mikebeecham, bad habit on my part. [09:01] as in the older server when rebooted would work again [09:01] RatThing: not working....error message on that command [09:02] DPic: Do you see any options about pressing Fsomething for Bios, or Setup or whatever> Some times this is F10, F12 and so on. [09:02] mikebeecham, either way we should examine the copy not the active one. [09:02] stdin: alright, thanks [09:02] then the memory dissapeared and mysql related things would stop working [09:02] slavi1, sorry .. when did it stop working? [09:02] got a desktop today, got Gutsy with advanced desktop effects running well using a CRT monitor at friends house, bring tower home to use on my lcd with vga-in and the bottom 1/8 th of the creen goes mssing if AWN is running and my title bars are missing if advancded desktop effects are enabled [09:02] as if mysql leaks memory or something [09:02] ArthurArchnix there is no mbr...he told grub not to overwrite the mbr so now there is no windows mbr and no grub [09:02] today since I kep my system on all day [09:02] please help [09:02] mikebeecham copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your home directory. [09:02] ArthurArchnix no i don't see anything at all. the first and only thing that appears is that there is no OS. should i try hitting keys that might get me into the BIOS anyways? [09:02] RatThing: I have only been using linux a week...could youplease post the entire command [09:02] thor: Which would not affec the bios. [09:02] I am not familiar with Linux commands [09:03] ArthurArchnix not a bios problem...it is giving him an error about reading the drive [09:03] someone can help me!? [09:03] ArthurArchnix the whole thing was working til he tried to install linux [09:03] mikebeecham cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ [09:03] DPic: Maybe. It depends. Are you able to boot a live ubuntu cd. [09:03] SOMEONE!? [09:03] as if something keeps leaking memory or something [09:03] please? [09:03] mikebeecham, that does not work? [09:03] ArthurArchnix yes [09:03] Dpic? [09:03] RatThing: it does now yes...typo on my part [09:03] Man Yes [09:04] thor: I'm trying to understand the problem. If there's relevant info please paste. [09:04] slavi1, very strange [09:04] you know about tv configure? [09:04] slavi1, why dont you restart the apache 7 mysql servers [09:04] Man, sorry but no. I'm actually in here getting help myself. [09:04] mikebeecham, you need to open that file with an editor. [09:04] .......... [09:05] ciao a tutti [09:05] Man, have you tried the wiki? i can usually find any general information i need there [09:05] lfs: tried ... didn't work [09:05] mikebeecham it is in your home directory. a file called: xorg.conf [09:05] what wiki? [09:05] slavi1, did u restart the system? [09:05] i typed sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:05] that worked I think!!! [09:05] Man, wiki.ubuntu.com [09:05] restarting [09:06] well, still nothing about my home system [09:06] so what now RatThing? [09:06] i don't thinks it's will help beacuse but anyway... [09:06] 2 systems with same issues ... [09:06] DPic: So.. just so we're clear... you had two windows drives, which were working fine, then you tossed in an ubuntu 7,1 (gutsy) cd and installed. And ever since then you haven't been able to boot any os, except the live cd. Is that right? [09:06] RatThing: I have the xorg.conf open [09:06] mikebeecham, almost but instead of opening the one in /etc/... open the one in your home directory so: sudo gedit ~/xorg.conf [09:06] slavi1, it cant possibly leak that much of memory! [09:06] lfs: something is doing it [09:07] mikebeecham, we made a copy so we don't break the active one :-) [09:07] 8GB gone :( (according to top) [09:07] yes. i believe that me telling grub to install somewhere other than the mbr is the reason for that [09:07] RatThing: cool...that copy is now open...would you like me to pastebin the contents for you? [09:07] is there an applet or icon that goes with wifi radar [09:07] mikebeecham, good idea. [09:07] slavi1, can u connect to mysql using the mysql command line client? [09:08] IVTV can help me? i have pvr driver [09:08] yes [09:08] RatThing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46537/ [09:08] mikebeecham, for someone who has only been at this for a week you seem pretty competent. [09:08] slavli, you talk to me? [09:08] ArthurArchnix, is the GRUB/mbr and file system problem two separate issues? [09:08] * RatThing opens up browser... [09:08] DPic: Don't worry about it. It's the fact that you have two hard-drives and windows installed. Grub hasn't come close to mastering this yet. Let's go back to basics though, because at this point you may need to ask yourself if you've backed up your data. (press middle finger to skip this step).

[10:01] ack, I just reinstalled with 64-bit 8) [10:01] why when i want to add samba user...i get error --Failed to modify password entry for user kerbau [10:01] that worked thanks [10:01] * insmod sick http://2girls1cup.com/ [10:01] what was that [10:02] crzedmonk, It started metacity ( gnome's default window manager ), the problem you most likely had was that compiz crashed [10:02] Jordan_U: Yeah, it said I could use the amd64 install, but didn't disclaim that there's no winXP x64 driver available for use with ndiswrapper [10:02] awesome [10:02] thank you [10:02] crzedmonk, The "nohup" part at the beggining was just so that metacity wouldn't quit when you closed the terminal window [10:02] I am very new to this linux thing [10:03] hello! i have a problem setting up my leadtek winfast tv2000 xp global card... the card is not recognized and i get this from dmesg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46542/ i tried recompiling my kernel before but i just ended up screwing up my computer anyone??? [10:03] but it is better than windows [10:03] crzedmonk, np, If you have problems like this again you might want to turn off desktop effects in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [10:04] it is on normal [10:04] turn it off === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [10:04] adamonline45, So you weren't using madwifi in 32 bit Ubuntu [10:04] ? [10:07] Jordan_U: Well, I tried ndiswrapper, and couldn't get it working... So I tried madwifi, and it didn't take long to realize I should go back to trying ndiswrapper 8) Soon enough I got it close to working (it loaded all but a missing .ko) and learned I can run 64-bit version. So no, it wasn't working... Is there a gui that works with madwifi that you know of? [10:07] Ooo, wireless talk [10:07] Let me jump in here [10:08] Can someone help me setup my freeradius/802.1x/eap-tls? :) [10:08] adamonline45, Not quite sure what you mean, Madwifi is a driver, drivers don't have GUI's [10:10] Jordan_U: Ahh. That's true, but there was sure a lot of stuff to do to connect to an encrypted wireless network. [10:10] adamonline45: don't I know it! [10:11] adamonline45, Once it's installed madwifi should work with network-manager just fine ( should being the key word there... :) [10:11] I can't get ircd-hybrid to start, anyn takers? [10:11] qsheets: only if you can get my thing to work [10:11] s/anyn/any [10:11] siccness: whatcha got? [10:11] freeradius (eap-tls / 802.1x) [10:12] ... [10:12] /ignore join/part [10:12] Jordan_U: Alright, I'll give it another shot. I heard there were issues, though, according to the macbook guide. If I can get it visible in Network mgr, I'll surely be able to get it to work... [10:13] Why is swap being used when RAM is still free? I have 2gb of each and 30% of each is used right now. [10:13] i install ubuntu but i cant boot [10:14] Jordan_U: Oh, you know what happened? I could see it there, all greyed out and taunting me, but when I clicked 'administrator mode', I'd enter my password, and it wouldn't sudo me in to make any changes. [10:14] siccness: idk what you need? [10:14] hi [10:14] qsheets: i need it working :P [10:14] adamonline45, That is not network-manager, that is network admin [10:14] Jordan_U: That was one of the few things that made me feel ready for a reinstall... Oh, and I'm on Kubuntu, in case I didn't mention that [10:14] are there any other ps viewers besides evince? [10:15] postscript [10:15] adamonline45, Network manager is the little applet at the left of the top pannel ( top left of the screen ) [10:15] siccness: LOL ... that's what I need [10:15] has anyone gotten wacom "bamboo fun" tablet to work either on feisty or gutsy? [10:16] ttt-: GGv? [10:17] Jordan_U: Ooh, I found the network manager... It doesn't seem to be opening though... Hmm [10:17] adamonline45, Not opening in what way? [10:17] how can i see the grub os selecting screen. what i must do [10:17] how i increase my screen resolution from 65 to 85 in ubuntu? [10:17] How do you add another workspace in Gnome? [10:17] adamonline45, You need to set your card to "roaming mode" in network-admin for it to be seen by network-manager BTW [10:18] Hanyou: Right click on the workspaces and choose preferences [10:18] ankur: must be some crappy ass screen resolution if it's only at 65 :P [10:18] hanyou: just right click [10:18] Thanks [10:18] krim: i cant find that in the package manager [10:18] no body to help me [10:18] krim: oh sorry, i can [10:18] dont understand [10:19] screen resolution vs refresh rate? [10:19] Jordan_U: Got it. Yeah, when I click 'KNetworkManager', nothing happens at all. No wait icon, no bouncey icon, no instant window flash... [10:20] adamonline45, Are you using KDE? [10:20] Jordan_U: Yes, I mentioned that a few messages ago :) [10:20] i wanna boot computer with grub screen. how [10:20] OIM, Press escape at boot [10:21] i need 1024*768 resulution and 85 Hz refresh rate .How i do that? [10:21] Jordan_U, about romaning in network card; I have DHCP assigned automatically by ISP; I" deactivated *roaming* and the connection is working; what does *roaming* do anyway? [10:22] now my refresh rate is 65 that is too low [10:22] mafsi, "roaming" just means let network-manager deal with the connection :) [10:22] I havent had much success in changing refresh rate, I previously used the gtf modeline [10:22] Jordan_U, i c [10:23] With an ATI Mobility Radeon x700 on a Acer Travelmate 4400 should I have to use the fglrx driver for my video card? I tried using "ati" as the option in the xorg.conf and it made me have some serious issues. Any suggestions? [10:23] Hanyou, try this http://forlong.blogage.de/article/add_comment/796 [10:24] ok [10:25] why won't ircd-hybrid run [10:25] Is there a way to check how much every program is downloading and uploading? [10:25] qsheets: log file? [10:25] my usb not detect on vmware [10:26] meezfoghi: i think there's a limitation on some vmware products [10:26] that is a guess though, so dont take my word for it [10:26] ebtter to google and read up about it yourself [10:27] mafsi: My main issue wasn't on compiz it was getting my DRI to pass. No matter what I did I ended up with a no result. Do you think this could help my situation? If it helps at all the end result I'm trying to achieve is to play World of Warcraft under Wine. Problem is OpenGL keeps failing and the only thing I haven't shot down yet is the DRI failing. [10:27] siccness, when i using ubuntu festy it everyting ok [10:27] After asking for a while in this channel I was told it was fglrx that was giving me this issue. [10:27] siccness, but when i using gutsy and dowload vmware..boom [10:28] boom? [10:28] how i formate a drive? [10:28] siccness, my usb drive connot detect from vmware server [10:28] in ubuntu [10:28] Hanyou: i don't know what to say. i had problems with my ATI X1600 Pro Driver & i use the new one 8.42.3 and now i have Compiz + no rezolutions problems [10:29] weird [10:29] siccness: thx [10:29] LOL [10:29] mafsi: I will try that after what I'm about to try with Wine. I hope one of the two works. I have been at this since 11:00pm East coast U.S. Time and I'm starting to get sleepy. [10:30] why you people bothering me? ask the ops :) [10:30] !grub [10:30] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[10:36] i want to use xmms on ubuntu...but i dont know how on it [10:36] so it wnt fuck up ubuntu if i dont replicate the folders on the storage/personal partition [10:36] who has capitals on their directories? unacceptable. [10:36] rohan12121: no language. [10:36] haha [10:36] sorry bout language [10:37] rohan12121: the only thing you need to be worried about is if the storage/personl partiition youre using has conf files [10:37] is there anyway to change the directory system? like if i want my music folder to be in another folder? [10:37] hi [10:37] in whcih newer software breaks the old configs [10:37] especially on another partition [10:37] it wotn be too much of an issue i cant imagine [10:37] Could someone help me sort out my GRUB boot list? I can't figure out which partition ID my windows installation is on [10:37] well its a fresh install [10:37] but for certain piees of software, you never know. [10:37] so the existing home/user has nothing on it im assuming [10:37] cos i haven't put anything there [10:37] im happy toc opy what ever is in there [10:38] i use capitals in directories, otherwiseyouwindupwithunlegiblepaths [10:38] but i dont want to necessarily have to use the videos/documents/pictures directories if i dont have to [10:38] kitofhawaii: rubbish [10:38] this_is_a_directory [10:38] looks fine, works with everything, it's clean, simple and sexy. [10:38] Say, 802.11 wireless should work out of the box, right? [10:38] I have a really really wired problem. Does anyone know how the displaymanager influences the graphic-driver? With gdm I have fglrx, with xdm or slim just mesa, if I switch back to gdm I have flgrx again? What has the displaymanager with the drivers to do? [10:38] msikma: dependant on a few things buddy [10:38] I could have sworn that it worked before on this very computer, but now suddenly it does not seem to. [10:38] msikma: lot of variables in that, 802.11 is the wireless standard, wether your device works or not is the issue. [10:39] hm [10:39] is there a way to perhaps change the shortcuts on the 'places' shortcut to my existing folders on my personal/storage partition? [10:39] Device is recognized, no driver loaded, but I'm certain it has worked before... so I guess I'll do some searching [10:39] msikma: this personal storage thing of yours, is it an old /home/ part? [10:39] It's an Atheros wireless card found in recent MacBooks. [10:39] well no [10:40] its from windows [10:40] its just a fat32 partition [10:40] i use to store all my stuff [10:40] outside of operating system partitions [10:40] rohan12121: you cant replace /home with that [10:40] msikma: i think the atheros cards work, but not 100% sure, i sit at a desk [10:40] !wireless | msikma [10:40] msikma: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:40] siccness: typing an underscore takes just as much effort as shift-letter [10:40] msikma: wont work out of the box [10:40] I've just installed the ATI 7.11 drivers on my laptop, and after I rebooted, the external monitor I have connected via VGA out changed to 1024x768 from 1680x1050 with no change in xorg.conf... any idea on now to fix? Using Gutsy, x86-64. [10:40] IndyGunFreak: strange thing is that I distinctively remember using it with my wireless network. I installed something that I found on the MacBook Ubuntu page. [10:41] I actually have the MAC address of this computer in my router [10:41] if its a macbook produced after oct 2007 it wont work [10:41] c i dont want to replicate home with the fat32 partition [10:41] msikma: ndiswrapper?

[10:41] having to worry about intercompatibility and wall the rest [10:41] all the rest* [10:41] mount your fat32 part under /home/user/storage [10:41] and access from there [10:42] Is there multipayer games like Counter Strike for Ubuntu? [10:42] yes, eg, CS [10:42] so its not safe to mount it under /home/user? [10:42] it is [10:42] ubuntufreak: there's tremulous, but its not really like counterstrike. [10:42] !hibernate [10:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:42] but ti is multiplayer [10:42] but mount it at /home/user/storage [10:42] !suspend [10:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:43] you cant mount it at /home/user [10:43] just to avoid messing up the configs [10:43] IndyGunFreak: thanks [10:43] everthing will break [10:43] !sleep [10:43] ok [10:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:43] How do I add my bootable NTFS partition to menu.lst?

[10:47] yea [10:47] i know it doesn't have to b [10:47] but thats probably what i'll make it anyhow!! [10:47] Hanyou: I'm having problems too, what is your problem? [10:48] rohan12121: i can't really find a way to do it,.. what *I* would do, is right click the panel, Add to panel, Add a "Drawer" then add shortcuts to the folders you want, int he drawer. === basix_ is now known as basix [10:48] Hanyou: thanks, I'll have a look [10:48] Can't get DRI to work and when I turn on ATI drivers nothing works [10:48] Hanyou: what version of the drivers? [10:48] sweet [10:48] My issue started when I wanted to run WoW on wine. [10:48] create my own places so to speak! [10:49] rohan12121: sorta [10:49] No idea. I'm trying a couple of different things before I go back to pounding at the drivers some more [10:49] rohan12121: just add the drawer panel applet, then drag the folder you want to have a shortcut into there, [10:49] then when you need to get to it, click the drawer, and it will drop down, and choose the folder you want. [10:50] How do I identify which partition ID I need to add so I can choose to boot from it from GRUB? [10:50] Wooh, wireless works again [10:50] compwiz18: Right now I'm using fglrx though just so everything works. [10:51] msikma_: what did you do? [10:51] Cherubael: I think the first one is 0 , second is 2, etc from the start of the disk [10:51] For some reason, the madwifi driver I had installed had ceased to exist [10:51] Cherubael: sorry, second is 1, etc [10:51] I grabbed the latest snapshot, compiled it and installed it, then inserted it into the kernel [10:51] As per the Macbook instruction wiki [10:51] I've tried that, 2 isn't right even though GParted shows it as the 3rd partition [10:51] msikma_: link? [10:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [10:51] danke [10:51] Blindly followed instructions, works perfectly [10:51] Hanyou: I installed the driver the same way, and X hangs right after login. With the driver in the repos, I only had a blank screen [10:52] Cherubael, hd0 is ide0 and so forth, the number after the comma is the partition and the disks start at 0 [10:52] But still, it's strange that it would stop working like that. I guess I broke something at some point [10:52] IndyGunFreak: c the whole idea was to have common places, that the os would recognise as default!! sorta like how windows identifies my documents and all the rest as the default location for documents and the like === msikma_ is now known as msikma [10:52] is there a way to change X's resolution while in Gnome? [10:52] clau85: I'm about to give up on using ATI on Ubuntu and go get a Nvidia based laptop. Don't hear to many of those people complaining. [10:53] rohan12121: yeah, i see what you wanted, but i don't see how to make that happen, w/o actually using the folders assigned. [10:53] yeah thats the same problem with windows!! [10:53] Well, thanks for your help, time to get back to being productive [10:53] compwiz18, system preferences screen resolution [10:53] ompaul: I've checked all that, it all looks right. I've got /swap, /home, and then NTFS partition on hda, but hd0,2 doens't work [10:53] in feisty I didn't have this problems... maybe smtg went wrong during upgrade [10:53] ompaul: it doesn't list the resolution I'd like to switch too [10:53] i wish the developer guys would consider this sort of scenario [10:54] When somebody IP attacks your computer with ssh password cracking, what is beter (1) attack them back , or (2) block their IP in the firewall, or (3) both ?

[10:54] compwiz18: sysmlinks? [10:54] rohan12121: i'm sure there's a way to do it, i'm jus tnot sure how. [10:54] IndyGunFreak: yeah i reckon ur right [10:55] my usb not detect on vmware [10:56] anyways thanks a lot guys~! [10:57] rohan12121: you can *try* going through gconf-editor, and see if there's a way to modify the target of those folders, but that could take you a while... open a terminal and type gconf-editor [10:57] rohan12121, a clue is organise your data to suit both o/s's and just mount the directory from both expecting one to live with the others vagueness is just nuts - and most devs I know live in a single o/s world [10:57] ompaul: true [10:58] E: cupsys: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [10:58] ompaul: i agree with what your saying!!! im just ya know, from a useability and portability pov i reckon that wd add the icing to the cake!!!!

[11:01] * Loftroffle apt-get installs it first :V [11:02] !hibernate [11:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:02] !suspend [11:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:02] nope...lol [11:02] ompaul: i disagree, from a usability perspective, and furthermore in convincing ppl that linux is worth it (and versatile), u need not only for the thing to work but sometimes u gotta have the 'so-called' trivial extras!!! [11:02] !laptop | petr4 [11:02] petr4: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [11:02] i have searched this and there is nothing about suspending [11:03] ompaul: of course, the the functional operation of the OS is paramount- this much i cede~!!! [11:03] rohan12121, well we have established that no one here has the answer so I guess as it is support channel - to discuss it further is going offtopic ;-) [11:03] Linux doesn't blue-screen me, trust me, it can have nothing on it and it'll be nicer than *cough* [11:04] ompaul: the page does not do suspending [11:04] hahahah kkkk [11:04] once more thx for your help guys/girls! [11:04] ompaul: only for suspending for ubuntu 4.10 [11:05] lol, i'd say thats a bit outdated [11:05] petr4, ubuntu laptop suspend put that into google with which ever version you are looking at [11:06] hey [11:06] hey hey hey wait!!! [11:06] can someone tell me how can I change my proxy [11:07] 'places' are just nautilus shortcuts!! [11:07] tharis20, which proxy?> [11:07] thx compwiz18 for your suggestion! [11:07] I use "apt-get update" but keep getting "404 not found". I have changed several repos, and it is still the same. I get "wget" the files which are claimed to be "404 not found". any idea? [11:07] maybe i'll c if i can add this to a wiki somewhere [11:07] rohan12121: did it work? [11:08] rohan12121: did you figure it out?.. cuz i've wondered this before to. [11:08] compwiz18: yes!!! [11:08] cool :D [11:08] IndyGunFreak: change ur nautilus bookmarks to point to wherever u want them to! [11:08] ahhhh!!! this has made my day [11:08] I've changed my hostname and domain name using the gui admin tool. Rebooted. Now when I run hostname -f I get hostname: Unknow host when I expected the domain name? what have I missed? [11:08] hello [11:08] rohan12121: lmao, that was simple. [11:08] u know forever i have wanted to do this in windows and never figured out why they never implimented some way of addressiing this!! [11:09] rohan12121: I think if you use regedit you can do it (i've done it, actually) [11:09] yeah well ya know somtimes it's staring right at your face- besides i didn't even know what nautilus was till 5min ago!!! [11:09] ompaul, for example, to not have use my proxy, but, one of these http://www.samair.ru/proxy/ [11:09] poppyer, can you ping any server? say .. www.ubuntulinux.org? [11:09] yeah well i mean in a less potentially 'system-damaging' way [11:10] rohan12121: well, i knew what nautilus was, and it didn't dawn on me to check nautilus bookmarks. [11:10] poppyer, it is the same as using a web browser - if it says 404 it means the file / place you are pointing at is not there use this: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [11:10] zimon: sure, i can ping. not only what. I can wget http:/xxxxxx/Package.gz [11:10] no, ompaul, the browser is ok, the wget is okay, only the apt-get fail. [11:11] ompaul, i win, there are proxy-switchers, how can I switch in ubuntu? [11:11] IndyGunFreak: the only reason I though about it was because in my Places menu they are in a submenu called bookmarks cause I have too many :) [11:12] compwiz18: lol, well, i guess that would help [11:12] tharis20, in a web browser? then you want to know that (A) you trust the admins of that proxy and (B) from the menu -- edit / preferences / advanced / network settings [11:12] poppyer, do sudo apt-get update [11:12] Ok I typed sudo apt-get update and it works then tried sudo apt-get install cupsys says it is not fully installed and I get the following error statement [11:12] dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure): [11:12] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [11:12] Errors were encountered while processing: [11:12] cupsys [11:12] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [11:12] yes, ompaul, that is what I do.

(I don't have a livecd / physical access to the machine :) [11:36] poppyer, then that begs the question is there some networking issue with it [11:36] poppyer, is there a proxy server that wget is using and the apt-get is not [11:37] help [11:37] ompaul: seems not. very wired... maybe I should just reinstall apt-get, is it safe to download and dpkg -i?

[11:43] butn ot all. [11:44] so there isnt any solution or what [11:44] s_ its because some of the chips are built into each other - I'm fairly sure the modem and audio card are on the same chip thing, and I know in windows you have to install the drivers in a particular order to make it work... can't help beyond that though [11:45] no help than right [11:45] s_, do you have an intel hd audio?

Will it say that it's in drive mode? [12:38] pr0nGuy, then it should beep as it's starting up. [12:38] pr0nGuy, yeh it should look different in some way, i don't think the usual ipod interface comes up,, [12:38] pr0nGuy, sorry, forgot about holding in the center button [12:38] pr0nGuy, NET||abuse: he doesnt want it in drive mode does he? he's trying to access the music, not the file storage?

[13:06] Cherubeal, It looks like the mods can kill the join flood so why bother?? [13:06] my sound is not working, it is realtek high definition audio. is there a way dpkg way of reconfiguring alsa-mixer? [13:06] Hi All [13:06] Hobbsee, not too sure yet... [13:06] cp -a [13:06] ? [13:06] Seveas: 82.32.80.200.host.ifxnw.com.ar and others [13:06] my sound is not working, it is realtek high definition audio. is there a way dpkg way of reconfiguring alsa-mixer?

[13:07] tapas, I'd say dd [13:07] radeon 9200 [13:08] TomPurnell: could you please guide how to start debugging it? [13:08] jxxt: They keep switching hosts; IP addresses change, bans become ineffective... It could be stopped, but can't from where i'm sitting :D I'm just a lowly luser...

[13:08] TomPurnell: asoundconf list shows only card: NVidia [13:09] nm I'll try elsewhere [13:09] tani: what's your actual problem?

[13:09] Cherubael: I don't think it is [13:09] TomPurnell: no sound from the laptop speaker. in a movie, video plays fine but without sound [13:09] Cherubeal, Hmmnn!

[13:10] hey guys, can anyone help me. I wonder how i can import new icon themes on ubuntu [13:10] Most of AOL was just banned by the look of it.... [13:10] Cherubael: heh [13:10] it can also identify the laptop volume controls, i.e. when i turn the volume knob it increases and decreases the volume as shown in the notification area. [13:10] tani: have you checked your volume levels? PCM channel in particular [13:10] reddeath, 'man net' shows an awful lot of them [13:10] kane77: dd is for block devices.. [13:10] chazco, are they still on the internet? [13:10] TomPurnell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu only shows how to print to a printer attached to another computer, but the ALCX-11 Epson is a print server itself? [13:10] Amaranth: A +r and a +J 7,1 (or more restrivtive) would likely help [13:10] kane77: i need to cp, cause the target partition doesn not have the same layout [13:10] [that's why i copy ;)] [13:10] I was on Freenode, it suddenly said i was banned... not been able to connect until i got a non-AOL range IP [13:10] amidaniel: +J blocks regular users way too much, same with +r [13:10] TomPurnell: yes, they are both set to max [13:10] will try with cp -a and see what happens [need to upgrade grub etc.. will ask then] [13:10] chris3141: sorry, I can't help with that. sounds like a question for the forums [13:11] amidaniel: So we only set +r during an attack [13:11] for www.ubuntuquestions.org? [13:11] Seveas: I think they're filtering in slowly again [13:11] Amaranth: Well, you certainly need *some* join throttle [13:11] Amaranth: Decrease +L limit and increase update frequency... 20s updates, +5 on current total or something. Stop loads of bots joining at once?

[13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] You [13:14] *sigh* [13:14] Saw that coming [13:14] !attack [13:14] grr [13:14] !kill [13:14] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[13:15] chazco: We can only ban from channel, freenode staff is banning most of them from the network though [13:15] it seems he vbox modules only exist for the generic kernel [13:16] chazco, the server is banning [13:16] not the -386 one [13:16] hrmpf [13:16] Set revolving door for name with all lower case nicks + nick = name = ip only host [13:16] Ah ok... thanks for answering... perhaps they banned a range or something :) === owain is now known as Ziller [13:16] Cherubael: Bans are not that expressive :) [13:16] tani: can't really offer any more help without seeing some log files [13:16] That makes very little sense... o_O [13:16] my newly compiled kernel is having trouble accessing my encrypted root partition. Error is: "cryptsetup: Source device (uuid of the disk) not found". Old kernels still boot fine.

I have installed Ubuntu AMD64 Fiesty CD. is it missing something? [13:16] Seveas, whaaaa...? [13:16] here's the next lot [13:16] !staff [13:16] Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2 or Christel, I could use a bit of your time :) [13:17] yay for K-lined [13:17] can someone help me with importing icons? [13:17] GDhoore, I'd guess that a driver is missing, either for the device itself, or another device, so that the uuid changes [13:17] let's keep the +r for now [13:17] k-fed? [13:17] Seveas, what does +r do? [13:17] not sure whether this message made to the channel, hence re-posting: TomPurnell: what log files would you like to see? [13:17] when the bots get kicked in my client is says they left K-lined [13:17] Amaranth : i dont think its this one, i had something that was showing me all opened windows on the screen when i drag the pointer to the top-left corner, now i cant find, which plugin does that.\ [13:18] sethk, hopefully keep some of the bots out [13:18] Seveas, when I send one word, it's because I can't type. :) [13:18] kakoonia: scale [13:18] Seveas, ah [13:18] sec [13:18] Seveas: staff is already keeping an eye on things and klining as fast as possible [13:18] kloeri, I know, good job :) [13:18] dutchie86: That's the reason they've been killed. k-line is a hostname ban to stop them reconnecting. Trouble is the guy controlling the bots keeps switching hosts [13:18] what governs which applications are run when I start X / Xfce? for some reason, nm-manager opens thrice (each with it's own tray instance), and that's quite annoying [13:18] sethk: I'm fairly sure I have the appropriate drivers compiled. dm-crypt and its lot are there for certain. Let me go through the config again and see if I missed anything [13:18] kloeri: kline faster :) [13:18] hmm.. so what's the difference between !staff and !ops ? [13:18] aah ok, thanks Cherubael [13:18] Amaranth : ohh.. yeah.. :D thanks budd! [13:19] GDhoore, worth checking. [13:19] Seveas, Is there a read me me on how to hep in a silly flood next time?? [13:19] Hobbsee: hehe :) [13:19] kane77, staff can make network bans, ops only channel ones [13:19] kane77: !ops is the channel operators, !staff is the network operators [13:19] kane77: ops calls the channel ops, staff calls some freenode staffers [13:19] kane77, the people you annoy with it. If you abuse !staff, you can say bye-bye from the server :) [13:19] Now that i've got my Ubuntu mostly working, is there any way to make a custom "restore" CD which will install all my stuff & configure it next time? [13:19] tani: pastebin your dmesg output first [13:19] Seveas: *snort* [13:19] jxxt, best way to help is just stay calm, ignore as much as possible and let the ops/staff handle it [13:19] chazco you can image using dd [13:20] !cloning | chazco [13:20] Not really enough space... would prefer tweaking the liveCD/alt.CD if possible... just looking for a pointer in the right direction [13:20] chazco: 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 && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [13:20] chazco there is also an install script you can create [13:20] Seveas, OK thanks.. [13:20] Seveas, by no means am I going to abuse neither of those :) messing with ops is on top of my list of "dont's" [13:20] TomPurnell: http://pastebin.com/m6fd47cc3 [13:20] jxxt, duck and cover, and stay in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:20] !automate | chazco [13:20] chazco: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [13:20] Ah thanks... been trying to get that message to ubotu but it doesnt seem to get there [13:22] ppk|laptop, Ok Then I am on my way ovr to off topic..

It is the most horrible experience as I have been using Linux since 5.0 Redhat what's that 10 years... and I never know such instability.

[13:25] tifine: I dont hvae a resources.list that I can find [13:26] NewUserr: /usr/bin/firefox is a launcher script, but it isnt the firefox executable per se [13:26] NewUserr, it's not "user" files, it's "unix system resources" [13:26] caytchen: He's been answering my questions about GRUB so I don't think so! :P [13:26] TomPurnell: system/preferences/sound does not work [13:26] Doesn't Toshiba just rebadge Acer laptops?

(I'm new to Linux) [13:33] zanzer7, gnome i'm guessing, i've seen it do that [13:33] Aeonoris, you got normal ubuntu 7.10 installed? [13:33] Oh, yeah, gnome [13:33] bofh80, yeah, it happened to me too [13:33] Aeonoris, desktop effects enabled? [13:33] *normal*... [13:34] Bofh: Don't know, my dad installed it on this laptop and then gave it to me O.o [13:34] i am just keep getting this error whenever i try to enter this : sudo apt-get update and error: W: GPG error: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com feisty Release: Unknown error executing gpgv [13:34] Seveas: Nope, should they be? [13:34] hi, really stupid question. hwo do you change the default font in gutsy (gnome)? [13:34] Aeonoris, your window manager is metacity then :) [13:34] andrewmin, system -> prefs -> appearance [13:34] is there a sound-channel testing application? (eg play a tune out of a specified speaker) [13:34] Seveas, :S oop mybad hahahaha [13:35] Seveas: thanks [13:35] You sure? There's lots of gnome things on here.... [13:35] Aeonoris, metacity is the gnome window manager [13:35] metacity is the window manager for gnome [13:35] Seveas: Oh. [13:35] Aeonoris, yes he's being technical, however i'm not 100% that it looks after the ROOT windows, ie your desktop [13:35] i am just keep getting this error whenever i try to enter this : sudo apt-get update and error: W: GPG error: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com feisty Release: Unknown error executing gpgv [13:35] tifine, sudo by it self does not make any sense.. [13:36] Think of Gnome as being like Windows. Windows isn't the window manager; explorer.exe is :) [13:36] Seveas: But compiz is the Ubuntu window manager :) [13:36] So should it be on "normal", then? [13:36] It says "Desktop effects could not be enabled". [13:36] jxxt: sudo is with command [13:36] <_Dbug_> Hi. I'm on the Live CD right now, because I "broke" my Ubuntu installation when trying to select a new monitor in the screen configuration. Now when I reboot I have a "Ubuntu is running in low graphic mode" dialog, and whatever I change or try to change I finish by a black screen with the X cursor. I tried accessing the shell, but then I have a black screen without video. Any idea ? [13:36] Cherubael, please this could start a war, gnome isn't windows Xorg is windows. :( [13:36] Aeonoris: So you can't use visual effects [13:36] bofh80: Heh... Maybe that was my intent? ;) [13:37] Cherubael, hahahahaha [13:37] Amaranth: Do "visual effects" include stuff showing up on the desktop? [13:37] Aeonoris: Transitions and animations [13:37] tifine, what is example? [13:37] Aeonoris, you could just log out and in :) [13:37] how can i make volumes auto-mount in ubuntu gutsy? [13:37] _Dbug_: do you have any kernel parameters like "vga=792" [13:37] I'll try that, thanks [13:37] Aeonoris: So no [13:37] i am just keep getting this error whenever i try to enter this : sudo apt-get update and error: W: GPG error: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com feisty Release: Unknown error executing gpgv [13:37] or hit ctrl+alt+backspace [13:38] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, no idea ? Where can I check that ? [13:38] jxxt: i think u shud read whole question before start answering [13:38] in what file are the startup applications/commands defined? [13:38] Amaranth: Just pretty things I don't care about? K, thanks. [13:38] _Dbug_: have you tried running sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg in safe mode and just selecting the generic defaults.. then once you get your GUI back, you can fix your video driver [13:39] thats what *I* woulddo. [13:39] _Dbug_: in grub, select ubuntu then, press e.. after that remove "splash" and "vga=xxx".. then you'll be able to access the shell. there was a problem with gusty.. shell is a blank screen when booted with vga parameters [13:39] I logged out and in, nothing changed. [13:40] tifine, Sorry tifine i obviously missed something I will with draw from this. [13:40] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, I have only ubuntu on this machine and it runs fast, how can I avoid it to boot ? Is there a key to press to access the grub menu ? [13:40] join #indygunfreak [13:40] Aeonoris, what where you doing when things went *wrong* ? [13:40] s_: no quotes, and you're forgetting the / again.... "/join #indygunfreak" [13:41] anyone had any problems with Alsa? [13:41] ye [13:41] me [13:41] on my laptop [13:41] same.. [13:41] _Dbug_: i'm not sure about.. however, if you can boot into gnome with low graphics mode, you'll be able to fire up gnome-terminal and reconfigure X : "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [13:41] I think my xp MBR is messed up and trying to fix it with Gusty Live. Can anyone help me with that? [13:41] how can i make volumes auto-mount in ubuntu gutsy? [13:41] sandaru1: i was thinking that i only worked in safe mode. [13:41] alsa spits out: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [13:42] friedchicken03 you need to use the windows recovery tools to fix that [13:42] blahblahx depends on what kind of volumes they are, you fstab file is a usual place to use [13:42] IndyGunFreak: no, it works anyway [13:42] sandaru1: oh ok. [13:42] bofh: I was trying to get a game server to work, and then tried to connect to it, and my game client froze and wouldn't let me close it, so I logged out to kill it [13:43] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, when I select "continue" on the "low graphic mode" dialog box, all I have is a blank screen. So I will try what you said about removing parameters in start up, I just hope I can change that before it starts booting. [13:43] •dutchie86• What if i dont have a windows recovery disk, can I just use a retail copy? [13:43] dutchie86: right but i dont know much about that file. how do i add support to automount common volumes (dvd, cd, usb) [13:43] When i try to use teh SSH command in terminal it says the rsa host key has changed and won't let me in. Anyone know how to fix that? === Gr3G is now known as Gr3G2 [13:43] _Dbug_: then you can edit the grub config file [13:43] blahblahx ubuntu will normally already automount dvd cd and usb when you insert disk [13:43] CarpeDiem: have you tried running somthing as root? [13:43] Aeonoris, you still there? have you got the menus at the top and bottom still? if you goto places, then hit Desktop what happens? [13:43] _Dbug_: if you have mounted the hard drive in live CD, edit "/boot/grub/menu.lst" [13:43] bofh: Nothing [13:44] doxid, yes, why do you ask? [13:44] dutchie86: right but i built from the ground up so it doesnt [13:44] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, ha I can try that, thanks :) [13:44] friedchicken yes you can, boot into the set up and then go to the recovery console and type fixmbr or something similiar i suggest a google [13:44] Aeonoris, can't you get a filebrowser up at all? [13:44] CarpeDiem: i just ran RhythemBox as root and alsa seams to be working fine now. VLC still can't use the Alsa driver tho. [13:44] hmm [13:44] blahblahx you using ubuntu or another distribution because different distro have differents tools for this [13:44] My surround sound has degraded into stereo. I've tried running speaker-test and only front-right and front-left produce any noise. It still works in Windows, so I'm fairly sure it's not a hardware issue [13:44] Aeonoris, Applications > Accessories > FileBrowser ? does that work? [13:44] alsa does work on my laptop, but it only controls 2 of my 3 speakers [13:44] Flynsarmy: you can remove the keys at "~/.ssh/known_hosts" [13:45] the 3rd is a subwoofer and I cannot adjust it's volume [13:45] Hi people. im having troubles getting my 8800GTX workin with ubuntu 7.10 after a driver update. How can i revert?? [13:45] night all [13:45] Bofh: Not there [13:45] But I can't open "Computer", it seems [13:45] dutchie86: ubuntu (although it has some packages from the ubuntu-based linux mint). i built up from the ubuntu gutsy minimal install [13:45] Thanks. I tried that command in ubuntu, I thought it was for unbuntu, but guess not. thanks [13:45] mm 8800GTX on Ubuntu ;> [13:45] CarpeDiem: ah : ) well i get a memory error whatever i try to do with Alsa :P some pointer is wrong or somthing according to the log :P so be happy you can use it at all ;D [13:45] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, I guess I just have to add a '#' in front of 'hiddenmenu' ? and increase the timeout delay value ? [13:45] k doxid, I'm happy ;)) [13:45] :p [13:46] Aeonoris, menus System > Administration > System monitor [13:46] _Dbug_: can you paste the menu.lst in pastebin. I'll have a look [13:46] bofh: K... [13:46] blahblahx i would believe that even a minmal install of gusty would have plug and play, i would have a google or look in the forums for it [13:46] <_Dbug_> IndyGunFreak, sandaru1 can I not just copy the current video config of the live cd on the hard drive of the real installed system ? [13:46] !automount | blahblahx [13:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:47] _Dbug_: i doubt it. [13:47] Aeonoris, Processes > (do View ALL Processes) > click on Process Name to sort by name, find 'nautilus' [13:47] !8800 [13:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about 8800 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:47] _Dbug_: i'm not sure.. but probably it would be using "vesa" drivers.. so, it won't help you much [13:47] jxxt, are you still there? [13:47] I am unable to find a deb for code::blocks [13:47] _Dbug_: it's again low graphics mode [13:47] vb is it maybe a perl module? [13:48] bofh: There are nine of them, all sleeping but one that's running. [13:48] dutchie86: it doesnt mount usb or dvd, it does do cd actually. when i click on my usb stick to mount, i get the error message: mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [13:48] dutchie: perl module ? [13:48] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, I was thinking about the currently running config, since I'm on the same machine with a working video setup :) Not the file of the live cd, the detected correct configuration. [13:48] vb what do you need the code::blocks for? [13:48] Aeonoris, you only need one. if it's that bad, ie so many running, i would restart the computer :S [13:48] as a C/C++ IDE [13:48] Aeonoris, you could kill them all [13:48] Aeonoris, then run a new one and your Desktop will come back [13:48] does anyone here use Amarok to listen to music? [13:49] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, http://pastebin.com/m398185b4 [13:49] steve_b: yes [13:49] steve_b: Yes! [13:49] _Dbug_: hmm.. that have a fair chance of working.. worth trying running the config [13:49] do you know how I can remove all the music that I've deleted from my collection? [13:49] anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? [13:49] Bofh, I run a new one using the terminal, I'm guessing? [13:49] at the moment it is still there but greyed out [13:49] steve_b: do a rescan [13:49] steve_b: The collection will update itself every once in a while... Else there is a manual trigger for it [13:49] dutchie: where can I get its deb? [13:50] Aeonoris, uhm there's a run command from the menu i believe i thought oh, i think there's a hotkey [13:50] Bofh: I'll try restarting first, see if that helps [13:50] I did a rescan but the stuff still shows up... [13:50] hey ROOM, what's the hotkey in gnome for GTKRUN ? [13:50] ALT+F12 is the hotkeu bofh80 [13:50] _Dbug_: ok. you don't have vga parameters in menu.lst.. so, blank shell is not due to that [13:50] bofh80: Alt-F2? [13:50] :) [13:50] steve_b: strange [13:50] ciao [13:50] Bofh: Won't even let me use quit... [13:50] ooh actually I'm a retard [13:50] thanks blahblahx and MilhousePunkRock [13:50] it did work# [13:50] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, where is on the disk the x configuration file ? I can paste it also [13:50] they are just still on the currently queued up things [13:51] Aeonoris, have you ended all the nautilus ? [13:51] dutchie86: you still around? [13:51] anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? i tried xdtv but i cannot make it run :( [13:51] yeah i am [13:51] steve_b: :-) [13:51] Bofh: Oh, nope, should I have before I restarted? [13:51] _Dbug_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:51] blahblahx yeah i am [13:51] dutchie86: ok did you get my last message? [13:51] lol [13:51] Aeonoris, you restarted? what's happened? lol [13:51] no i didnt blahblahx sorry [13:51] dutchie86: it doesnt mount usb or dvd, it does do cd actually. when i click on my usb stick to mount, i get the error message: mount: can't find /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [13:52] steve_b: You can deletes tracks with the file management option in the context menu too, this way it will update the collection right away [13:52] How do I make a file execute automatically (instead of asking me whether I want to display or run it?) [13:52] blahblahx at any stage did you just pull out your usb key without safely removing it? [13:52] bofh: That's fixed it, thanks! [13:52] Aeonoris, cool :) [13:52] I guess I shouldn't log out and in so much :P [13:52] steve_b, yes i am my server had a rest :) [13:52] When I try and boot to Windows from Grub, it hangs with the message "Starting up..." and I have to cold restart. Any ideas on resolving this? [13:53] anyone knows a good program to watch life tv streams? i tried xdtv but i cannot make it run :( [13:53] dutchie86: this is the first time ive put in one. doesnt that error mean i need to add some entry for /dev/sb1 in /etc/fstab for it to mount? [13:53] jxxt, it was you I was talking to about my wifi probems wasn't it? [13:53] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, http://pastebin.com/m14f231e5 <- xorg.conf see anything wrong ? [13:53] Aeonoris, if you know much about windows explorer.exe = nautilus :) hangs occasionally :) . you have to do the same thing in windows with explorer.exe and the taskmanager when your desktop screws up :) [13:53] blahblahx normally ubuntu would add any entries it needs to automatically [13:53] Bofh: Okay, thanks a ton. I'm slowly learning Lunix [13:53] steve_b, yes But i know not much about the subject :( [13:54] NewUserr: Miro? [13:54] dutchie86: well do i need a special package installed or something? cuz i started with a tiny minimal ubuntu and have built up, so some default stuff isnt there im guessing [13:54] blahblahx :pull out the usb key and then open terminal and then put it back in then in terminal type in dmesg and have a look at the output for any erros [13:54] Aeonoris, big learning curve, worth it, distro's like this make it a hell of a lot easier :) [13:54] jxxt, I think I fixed it - all I had to do was uninstall the crappy network-manager [13:54] TomPurnell: Ok thnx i try that out [13:54] _Dbug_: everything seems to be weird.. it's failsafe graphics by default.. you can try running the config from live CD and copy that.. that's the best way i guess [13:54] how would one change the "Applications" icon in Gutsy? [13:54] how can I get a nightly build deb for code::blocks? [13:54] slm [13:55] hello [13:55] steve_b, Cool.. Did you put some thing else in the place of network manager?? [13:55] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, so I can probably copy the content of FileSystem/etc/x11/xorg.conf to Disk/etc/x11/xorg.conf I guess ? Any other file used for the graphic setup ? [13:55] alguem do brasil [13:56] Where to I set my default console editor? I want to use vim when running sudoedit? [13:56] _Dbug_: you should first run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"... then coping xorg.conf would be enough [13:56] jxxt, my friend came over the other day and showed my how to set up my network the way that you would do it on Debian. It wasn't really using network manager anyway. The thing is network manager kept trying to scan for available networks, which caused my connection to be dropped. [13:56] blahblahx did you get the message about dmesg? [13:56] slm [13:56] ghostknife: sudo update alternatives --config editor [13:56] <_Dbug_> sandaru1, great, will try that. Thanks :) [13:56] Where are the default apps for file type settings? [13:56] dutchie86: yup ill pastebin the output [13:56] jxxt, I'm still not 100% sure it's fixed - it was so random when it would drop out that I will just have to wait and see [13:56] jrib: ;> thanks [13:57] cheers blahblahx [13:57] dutchie86: youre leaving? [13:57] blahblahxL nope [13:57] ghostknife: setting the EDITOR environment variable might help too [13:57] Just wondering, if i use ubuntu would i still be able to play games like COD4, TeamFortress2, etc that was made for windows. Is there usually a work around? [13:57] does anybody here have any experience of using an iPod with ubuntu linux? [13:57] blahblahx: nope [13:57] !anyone | steve_b [13:57] steve_b: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:57] steve_b i have done it once or twice [13:57] friedchicken03: It is POSSIBLE for SOME games. [13:58] dutchie86: here ya go http://pastebin.com/m67fec165 [13:58] Linux won't recognise my iPod [13:58] friedchicken03: ...but not without a lot of tweaking and usually some bugs (crashes, poor performance, etc) [13:58] it used to and now it deosn't! [13:58] steve_b, My network is really flaky on wep so any thing you did learn please share with me.. [13:58] zd [13:58] jrib: this works fine, thanks. EDITOR works aswell though [13:59] jxxt: I dont think it was a wep problem at all - my card simply has bad support for scanning, and network manager kept trying to scan which messed it up [13:59] Does anyone know any USB 3G modem compatible for Linux ?? [13:59] friedchicken03, I'd not recommend trying to use linux that way. It's not impossible, but it's a lot of trouble and has very little return [13:59] !google | Varanger [13:59] Varanger: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux [13:59] dutchie86: and in /media/ there is cdrom, cdrom0, floppy0, and floppy but nothing to do with usb or dvd [13:59] I plugged in my ipod and it didn't detect the drive - does anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognise it? [14:00] steve_b, So you think network manager is the bad guy here??? [14:00] steve_b, you got your ipod on the USB ? [14:00] jxxt: for me yes definately [14:00] blahblahx it will create it on the fly, if you can create a folder in /media called test123 then in terminal type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test123 -t vfat [14:00] bofh80: yes it is on usb. Also i did lsusb and it is recognised [14:00] hi [14:00] steve_b install gtkpod [14:01] dutchie86: anything strange about my /etc/fstab? [14:01] steve_b, but it normally automounts to your desktop? [14:01] Oh awesome I got surround sound working for audio playback :D [14:01] Ubuntu 7.10 wont detect my Creative Zen Vision M [14:01] bofh80: Exactly! that's the problem - it hasn't [14:01] blahblahx probably not [14:01] steve_b, OK so it needs to die then.. Did you replace with something?? [14:01] steve_b, ok goto Places > Desktop [14:01] hi hans [14:02] jxxt: I just set my wireless network up the normal manual way, by editting config files [14:02] how do i convert .sifz to .swf [14:02] blahblahx did it work? [14:02] steve_b, have you got a places list in the left hand pane? [14:02] trying it now dutchie86 [14:02] !google | berent [14:02] berent: Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com - Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux [14:02] cool blahblahx [14:02] bofh80: yes I have [14:02] How do I specify default apps (to execute files) to .sh extensions? [14:02] dutchie86 : I have gtkpod but haven't had a lot of luck with it [14:03] steve_b, could you possibly tell me whats in the list? anything that could be your IPOD? gnome usually caches device names or connections here [14:03] kazol: extensions are meaningless. What do you actually want to do? [14:03] steve_b, anything that says removeable drive? etc? [14:03] dutchie86: ok i did that and my usb stick flashed but the command isnt done (i havent got the next prompt yet) [14:04] bofh80 : there is definately nothing in the list. My ipod has lost all of its music since last time I tried to synch it - maybe the harddrive's corrupt? [14:04] I turned on Ubuntu, and the screen was just flashing weird colors in horizontal lines, I had to load Windows to get on IRC [14:04] -.- [14:04] Creationist: Do you know of GMBMG.com? Strips the advert and marketing links out of google search results [14:04] Cherubael: Doesn't affect me. [14:04] steve_b, OK then thank you I will try doing it thet way. Nothing to lose as wep is too flakey with network manager.:) [14:04] steve_b, ipod's do have issues. have you tried the plugin in Rythmbox to sync to your ipod? [14:04] jrib: I have a file that needs to be executed. Each time I open it it prompts me whether I want to display or execute it. Is there a way for it to get executed automatically? [14:04] blahblahx open a new terminal windows/tab and see if you can cd into /media/test123 and see the contents of ur usb key? [14:04] When I try and boot to Windows from Grub, it hangs with the message "Starting up..." and I have to cold restart. Any ideas on resolving this? [14:04] steve_b, also in a terminal you can type dmesg [14:04] bofh80 : ryhthm box is what broke it in the first place! [14:04] Cherubael: Google needs to make money somehow... and I have Adblock anyway.. whatever GMBMG.com is is pointless. [14:05] nothing in there dutchie86 [14:05] kazol: create a launcher for it (or disable that prompt in nautilus' preferences, but I would not recommend this last method) [14:05] bofh80 : I just checked in gtkpod and it says there is no directory strucure on the ipod so I think it got corrupted somehow [14:05] <_Dbug_> arg.... Could not save the file /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. :-/ Should I run the text editor from sudo ? [14:05] steve_b, it's the system event log, if type it, then unplug and replug, and then type dmesg again, you should see any errors relating to the ipod at the bottom [14:05] blahblahx type dmesg and see if there is any errors [14:05] where do you put the "noatime" option in the /etc/fstab? [14:05] steve_b, ouch [14:05] yes plenty of em dutchie86 [14:05] Cherubael: check to see if the mount point for Win is right in /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:06] bofh80 : I think I will need to reboot into windows and reformat it [14:06] xevil: Mount point it correct AFAIK. /dev/hda5 = hd0,4 yeah? [14:06] dutchie86: im gonna try another usb stick [14:06] ok, no worries blahblahx [14:06] steve_b, people upgrade and change those i think too, so there should be a way to put it back to uhm, original, maybe someon else in the ROOM can help. i hate those things === amidaniel is now known as AmiDaniel_away [14:06] what does noatime do anyways? [14:06] Cherubael: that appears correct [14:07] ConstyXIV: why do you want to do it if you do not know what it does? [14:07] I turned on Ubuntu, and the screen was just flashing weird colors in horizontal lines, I had to load Windows to get on IRC [14:07] jrib: I got "there was an error opening a child window" [14:07] bofh80 : there are no error messages in dmesg [14:07] jrib: im running ubuntu on an eee, and someone reccomended turning on noatime to reduce writes to the flash [14:07] kazol: in what context? What did you do to get that error? [14:08] bofh80 : it recognised it as a usb hard drive [14:08] CrashOverride: Try loading Ubuntu in VGA mode. Hit escape when asked to access menu [14:08] steve_b, sounds like your ipod needs some TLC :) [14:08] blahblahx i just did a google and look around and do you have a service called autofs? [14:08] where can I get a deb for code::blocks? === javaJake is now known as javaJake_ [14:08] CrashOverride: Horizontal scrolling lines usually mean the resolution is set too high. Try turning it down. I don't know exactly how, though :D I'm new to this too [14:08] dutchie86: i actually cant find any right now. can i read you the errors i got with dmesg? [14:08] bofh80 : I agree. I have had to reboot it lots of times recently. I only bought it 2 months ago so I hope it's not dead! [14:08] ConstyXIV: read 'man mount' to know what it does. You can use /noatime to find the relevant part of the man page. If you decide to use it, it goes in the "options" column of your fstab [14:08] what you do, is find steve jobbs, and smake him the mouth with it [14:09] blahblahx go for it [14:09] dutchie86: hmm how do i check whether i have it or not? === javaJake_ is now known as javaJake [14:09] steve_b, did you buy it from a a retail outlet? [14:09] blahblahx dw about what i just said coz i dont have it either [14:09] vb: does it have to be a deb? [14:09] vb: code::blocks wiki has an ubuntu install guide [14:09] bofh80 : I bought it from Amazon.co.uk [14:09] jrib: I made a launcher to execute the App on the terminal with the path of "~/Access\ Samba.sh" [14:10] steve_b, fine, you are covered at the very least under the manufacturers 12 year guarantee [14:10] hello, i am trying to install Ubuntu in paralells on a mac - but i cannot make it boot (the liveCD) into 640x480 even using the F4 VGA option - it insists on using 1680x1050 which is just silly [14:10] kazol: try giving the actual path instead of ~ [14:10] dutchie86: here are the errors: 1.

[14:12] bofh80 : don't worry - I will try it. I'll be back in 10-20 minutes [14:12] JenKat, I don't know of one. That doesn't mean it can't be done, but how to do it isn't obvious. [14:12] See ya!

[14:13] how do I make the resolution go back to the default on ubuntu from recovery mode or from windows [14:13] if you run a script in sudo, and the script runs other commands, are those commands also run as sudo (if theres no sudo infront of the commands inside the script)? === tobias__ is now known as tobias [14:14] hacked_kernel, yes, it's a power management issue IIRC [14:14] i can only find GNU R version 2.5.1 in the Synaptics [14:14] dutchie86: oh i forgot to tell you, its a micro cruiser, which tries to mount as a cd and usb even tho its just a usb stick. could that be the problem? [14:14] siccness: yes [14:14] hmm [14:14] but repository listing on web says 2.6.1 available as -deb packages [14:14] that eliminates that issue then [14:14] * siccness ponders [14:14] dutchie86: although it is formatted in fat32 [14:15] thanks jrib [14:15] Anyone know how to reset the password for 'standard keyring' it askes me for a password when I login [14:15] And at other places aswell [14:15] blahblahx it shouldn't be as i have a U3 usb key as well and it works [14:15] siccness: btw from memory sudo ls > a.a ; a.a is writen as the ordinary user, not root [14:15] is there a way to set the ubuntu's screen resolution from recovery mode [14:15] dutchie86: uhh and i installed another linux on it (wolvix) could that be it? [14:16] so why is there a 640x480 option on the live cd if it does nothing? [14:16] dutchie86: hold on ill be back in a minute [14:16] blahblahx ok [14:16] chesty: hmm [14:16] there seems to be an underlying issue to why CA.all sucks [14:17] siccness: sudo -i and try again?

You can change the command run yourself though and make it do that. Use something like 'import' from imagemagick [14:29] is it possible to disable compiz for an individual program in ubuntu 7.10? [14:29] tich: usbcore (last line) is the important one, hci_usb, uhci_usb and ehci_hcd are the controllers, I think... I am no expert with that though... [14:29] I just downloaded ubuntu, and when I try to autoplay the disk, the ubuntu browser will not open, the splash screen shows but that is it. The disk will not boot either saying "corrupt Kernel" or something like that... ANYOEN HELP! [14:30] tich: USB audio device? [14:30] orwell19841234: Did you check the CD for defects? [14:30] hey I'm back! [14:30] MilhousePunkRock: no it is an external drive [14:30] I am unable to get Tracker to search my computer. It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results. I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a few times, then nothing. I'm searching with tracker-search-tool. Any ideas? [14:30] it won't let me. I also mounted the raw iso into daemon, but it is giving me the same errors. I think I need to redownload..... [14:31] abcde__: have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com? [14:31] <_Dbug_> Just wanted to confirm that the method of overwritting the HDD xorg.conf file with the ones of the running session when booting from Live CD works very well. X is working again :) [14:31] jrib: yeah i'm gonna file a wishlist bug report [14:31] jrib: will look into that [14:31] brianski: you stick it up then link me and ill second it :P [14:31] tich: And it's not working? [14:31] orwell: me too. there's a way to check the disc against hash files. not sure if it's part of the installer. [14:31] orwell19841234: are you trying to run it in windows? [14:31] This sucks I really wanna try linux!!!! [14:31] jrib, I didn't know about that site, I've been google-ing and checking the forums. I'll check now, thanks. [14:32] Yea, and boot it. Niether works [14:32] who was the guy I was talking to about my iPod? [14:32] orwell19841234: how did you burn it [14:32] his name ended in 80 [14:32] I used Nero. [14:32] hi everyone [14:32] bofh80? [14:32] Standard ISO burning process. [14:32] orwell19841234, you might have got the wrong system .have a look at your d/l and be sure that it suits your system.. [14:32] orwell19841234: burn as image or as data cd [14:33] yeah thats it [14:33] jxxt? Huh? [14:33] bofh80 you still there? [14:33] I have a "standard x86" comp that is the one I dl'd [14:34] orwell19841234, What have you done so far?? [14:34] jrib, I've found a few things about tracker, none seem to be the issue I am having though. [14:34] orwell19841234: burn as image or as data cd === Ch3rubael is now known as Cherubael [14:35] what is the type of file u r trying to put on disc? [14:35] irc://quakenet [14:35] orwell19841234, is your BIOS set to boot from CD, then from hard disk? [14:36] orwell19841234: as you go through the install process, there might be a way to check the integrity of the dvd. [14:36] when i try to play a dvd (i have libdvdcss2 and ogle installed) i get the error DVDSetDVDRoot:: Root not set [14:36] been a while [14:36] I've burned the ISO using Nero's typical burning settings. I tried to run the disk in windows, I get the ubuntu browser splash, but nothing happens and it disappears. I tried to boot from disk also, but I press enter on "start ubuntu" and nothing happens. I pressed escape and went to text mode and when ever I pressed enter it said bad kernel or something. I also mounted using Daemon tools and the daemon mount [14:36] abcde__: does the search fail in the terminal as well? [14:37] hi [14:37] hello [14:37] jrib, I don't know how to do tracker via terminal. [14:37] put the ubuntu disc in ur comp and restart it [14:37] I can hear the cd spin up then it stops when I am trying to boot from it. [14:37] your DVD is scratched... orwell19841234 [14:37] I want to install Ubuntu on my Macbook, but it just so happens that my ethernet is broken [14:37] make sure u have ur computer set to boot from disc and not harddrive [14:37] wondering if there is something like daemon tools for Ubuntu? [14:37] but the ubuntu menu thinggy opens up fine.... [14:37] hello....I have a problem with a video card nvidia...an old video card of 32mb of memory...I try to enable the 3d acceleration from the restricted drivers manager, but I have this output: "The software source for the package nvidia-glx-legacy is not enabled." ...Someone can help me? [14:37] abcde__: type tracker- (I don't have tracker installed) [14:37] orwell19841234: then you most likely burn as data cd and not as image [14:37] EtteSB: "mount" [14:38] I need help I can't get cupsys installed after the update How do I download the version before [14:38] mavi-: that does ISO's and the like as well? [14:38] EtteSB: sure [14:38] when i try to play a dvd (i have libdvdcss2 and ogle installed) i get the error DVDSetDVDRoot:: Root not set [14:38] mavi-: great :3. [14:38] EtteSB: mount -o loop /path/to/iso.iso /where/to/mount [14:38] I selected iso burn, and it does boot (kinda). It gets to the start screen. Even so, shouldn't mounting it in daemon work anyway? I think the download is corrupt. [14:38] jrib, I'm not against switching, if you are using something better. [14:38] so, I can't get online, because the Macbook wireless doesnt work 'out of the box' [14:39] !info nvidia-glx-legacy | artw [14:39] orwell19841234, Did you burn the c/d as suggested??

[14:43] kritzstapf: but if it's a problem with you actual drivers, might have better luck in the forums since it should be a common problem [14:43] soundray: as in the pc is just idle for that time, i don't know why [14:43] oj; well maybe you have a slow drive [14:43] I need help I can't get cupsys installed after the update How do I download the version before [14:43] orwell19841234: try downloading using torrent [14:43] All: Hi all.
