[00:34] Jangari: what do you mean by "terminal be able to search it"? [00:34] joerlend: yes. make sure you know how to go back to the old drivers if it fails. [00:34] I do. :) [00:34] using cd, ls, etc., [00:34] eVipere: How do i dl them manually [00:34] yeah.... [00:35] but it doesnt work with my speakers.... [00:35] Jangari: yeah so once you mount it, just go to the mount point in the terminal (if gnome is mounting it, it's probably in /media/" [00:35] list directories/files in a folder, i can only currently do that for my local files [00:35] ok then if your card is ok (or if you had sound come out of it before) then it should work in ubuntu. [00:35] ah, alright [00:35] Jangari: run "df" to see where things are mounted currently [00:35] pike: and 2.6.23.9 kernel. [00:35] it never has worked though [00:35] michael: That can be challenging sometimes. You'll have to look on some gaming sites for them. a quick google search of patch 2.x.x and WoW should yield something. [00:35] is it onboard audio? [00:35] will it be /media/"server"/"share"? [00:35] All i get when I plug it in is a /dev/sdb, no partitions on it [00:35] ok thanks [00:35] tuna: i never had a problem mounting it. i suppose worst case you could run xp in vmware or virtualbox [00:35] what??? [00:35] pike: don't have xp [00:36] pike: not stealing it [00:36] eVipere: Is there any kind of memory quota or limit i may have set, upon installation, it told me i didnt have enough memory [00:36] ok guys, thanks for your time. You are helping a former fedora user to conver to ubuntu [00:36] Jangari: mount it up, and run "df" and you'll see where it is [00:36] eVipere: I didnt ahve enough ram-- But i've played WoW on this computer with windows before [00:36] tuna: i hereby will you my old copy of xp [00:36] is it built onto your motherboard or is it a card you installed into a PCI/expansion slot? [00:37] Jangari: it also helps me if you put "kelsin:" at the front of you lines, should just need to type "kel" then hit tab if you have a good irc client [00:37] Pici> found it - `server is sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade;` [00:37] built in.

I'm trying to install on a usb drive, but the ubuntu installer is having a hard time partitioning my drive [00:37] its plugged into my headphones jack [00:37] pteague: there it is :) [00:37] then probably a bad onboard sound controller it's a common problem. [00:37] what should i do???? [00:37] rhsanborn: might have an easier time just using a nother live cd, like knoppix [00:37] tuna: sorry wasnt more help. not sure what the issue is i know you can fix it by redoing the partitions in inlinux but youd need to backup your music [00:37] LjL, that was much better. Thank you. :) [00:37] michael: sounds like a setting in wine/cedaga. 1G is enough. [00:37] get a pci sound card and install it === GIMPY is now known as GIMPY22 [00:38] something linux friendly, in the market myself. [00:38] but i dual boot and it works in vista [00:38] I see. [00:38] oh then it's probably a setting or conflict [00:38] Hello everyone, I'm having problems with the test command in Ubuntu. When I do something like test 1 -eq 1 it doesn't return any values, even when I do stuff like test --help nothing happens. Test does exist as verified by which test [00:38] so how do i fix??? [00:38] rhsanborn> try making it an ext2 & see if that works... only diff between ext2 & ext3 is 3 is journalized... otherwise ext3 uses ext2... afaik there isn't a windows app to create ext2/3 partitions... however there is a driver available that will allow windows to *read* them [00:38] is your BIOS set to non plug and play os? [00:38] eVipere: I checked for any of the settings, the cedega site said to clear quota or something they didnt elaborate on it [00:38] paste what sound card you have here from the hcl results [00:39] anyone know why test doesn't seem to work? === abc is now known as NeMo [00:39] 8086284b Yes Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller snd-hda-intel v2.6.21 [00:39] GIMPY22: test returns a value by it's exit code, after you run it you need to run "echo $?" to see it [00:39] oh, I figured it'd print the return value back to the screen. [00:39] what kind of audio you trying to play? [00:39] thanks I'll try echo $? [00:39] michael: Go figure... cedaga not being very useful... try just running wine: wine /path/to/WoW.exe may work better. [00:39] anything. movies music. i dont care [00:40] nothing works [00:40] will try it, thanks [00:40] My firefox bookmarks ran away !! WHAT can I do ?!? [00:40] michael_: wine is to a state that it usually equals or trumps cedega these days [00:40] eVipere: does wine need to be installed separatly [00:40] GIMPY22: and in scripts that is what "if" checks when you call "if [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then" etc [00:40] but i paid for cedega :( [00:40] check settings/mixer settings [00:40] k [00:40] Probably, cedaga is a hacked-up version of wine designed for better gaming..... [00:41] so you don't put the test command in the evaluation brackets? [00:41] so weird, in my fedora script I use if test q -eq k; then [00:41] does cedega have anything worthy of dling :( [00:41] GIMPY22: usually you might go ahead and and assign a variable the return value like RETVAR=$? then use that in your if later [00:41] or transgaming for that matter [00:41] wait.... how do i get to settings? [00:41] I see. [00:41] GIMPY22: yeah that works too, [ is an alias for test [00:41] tifine: you can do that too [00:41] ahhh [00:41] make sure your intel is selected in the drop down list of devices. I run xubuntu its applications for me [00:42] They may have gotten better, but last time I knew a while back, I was better off with installing wine from apt-repository, or just building it myself for better performance. [00:42] if you want a free release of cedega... go download & install eve-online for linux [00:42] pike_: what i can do that too ? [00:42] and echo $? just prints the return value of the last process that ran? [00:42] tifine: sorry wrong nick [00:42] yep $? always has the return value of the last process [00:42] where do i find that though. im running gutsy 7.10, gnome [00:42] cool thanks. [00:42] i'm not sure if it will let you play other games, but it downloads all the default settings for every other game... [00:42] Now, anyone know how to remove an mdadm array, when a drive is not attached physically to the PC anymore? [00:43] not sure I only ever run 6.06 and am new myself. [00:43] eVipere> comment the line or delete it out of /etc/fstab ? [00:43] how do you get to settings? [00:43] but I can tell you your card is supported and it's probably something simple [00:43] xvoltx: Dapper.. that was a nice release [00:43] pteague: um... no, the mdadm app doesn't rely on /etc/fstab. [00:44] I am always a little behind the times Jack_Sparrow [00:44] is there a way to get a "open command line here" type menu option in the file browser? [00:44] rather absolute stability vs newest features [00:44] eVipere> check /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf [00:45] pteague: completely commented out.... [00:45] xvoltx: Same here, let the others enjoy the fluffy features, I only need the basics. [00:45] eVipere> all i remember from setting it up was i had a funky time trying to get to specifically take the drives in a certain order... it apparently pulls drives from /proc/partitions [00:45] okay another question, do you have to define types in bash scripts? i.e I did t=2 test t -eq 2 and the terminal reports that t is a "bad number" [00:46] eVipere> oh & might also want to check /proc/mdstat [00:46] i'm having an issue with my triple-boot system [00:46] Guys, what can I use to play a kvcd once I've mounted an iso [00:46] anyone talk in here [00:46] I've tried gxine, but it tells me it has no plugin for vcd [00:46] GIMPY22: test $t -eq 2 [00:46] pteague: /proc is rebuilt everytime the OS is booted up, and it just displays the status of the md arrays. [00:46] i can't get ubuntu to load [00:46] mplayer doesn't work, I'm lost :S [00:46] ARRGHH LoL obvious mistake, thanks :-P [00:47] even though its the last one i installed [00:47] linux is hard to learn [00:47] yeah. I am trying out xubuntu 6.06 for the first time on a system with 256mb ram, and celeron 1.7 cpu. want to see if it can hack some audio playback and ripping/network monitor and web browsing/design [00:47] eVipere> yes, but it's something to check & see if, even though the drive has been removed, it's still *finding* the drive or assuming it's there [00:47] Hi all. Has anyone been able to get superkaramba to work in gnome? I know about gdesklets and screenlets, but I have some custom themes in superkaramba that I want someone else to use. [00:47] TerribleTickler: do you have a question we can answeR? [00:48] trimeta, bulmer "The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: * g++" when I try to apt-get install g++ it says "g" can't be found [00:48] drkfce, superkaramba is for kde [00:48] hope to use it to ssh into a web server 233Mhz box with a scsi drive [00:48] which means may have to remove it from /dev [00:48] CaptainMorgan: Maybe use quotes around it? I don't know. [00:49] well I need to link that can show me how to black list old madwifi or what ever so i can compile new madwifi [00:49] !blacklist [00:49] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:49] great.. I deleted the line and now it can't be found, at least when the line was there, it looked for it and then asked me for the cd [00:49] CaptainMorgan: sudo apt-get update [00:51] MasterShrek: Aramok is also for kde, but it works fine. I thought you could interchangebly install kde/gnome programs? [00:51] pike_, thanks! [00:51] amarok* [00:51] thank you [00:51] hmm, how do i mount from a terminal? [00:51] a server, that is [00:51] is there somewhere I can get a list of support or unsupported hardware? [00:51] drkfce, yuo can try it, but ive never heard of superkaramba in gnome [00:51] drkfce: sure you can, they're just slower to start up and overall you take up more memory [00:51] !hardware > robr (robr, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:51] Jangari, user the command mount [00:52] CaptainMorgan you install g and associated files by installing build-essential [00:52] thx [00:52] yes, MasterShrek, i'm getting the message "mount: can't find (server name) in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [00:52] thanks for the help though :) === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [00:53] Jangari, what kinda server? samba?

[00:54] does anyone know if the 2.6.22 kernel has Xen built into the kernel (So I don't need to get a modified kernel for dom0 and DomU?) [00:54] Jangari, if you need add to the end: -o username=,password= [00:55] well you need to mount it somewhere [00:55] CaptainMorgan right...it should install g++ if I am not mistaken [00:55] hi to all [00:55] hello [00:55] hi [00:56] #eeepc [00:56] ah crap === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:57] renegade420, /join #channelname [00:57] with python using a cairo.PDFSurface() can you generate multi-page pdf documents ?

[00:58] How exactly do I check to see if my graphics card is functioning properly? [00:59] What do I need to do in order to get Ubuntu 7.1 installed on a partitioned RAID5 alongside Vista? Hardware is Intel P965 with ICH8, Core 2 Q6600. The partitioner sees 4 drives instead of the RAID. [00:59] michael_: maybe use the mozdev website [00:59] matttis: look in ~/.mozilla/ [00:59] Pici: nothing there [00:59] matttis: itll be tough, im at work and they have a filter, but ill try, you know any commands? [01:00] Annirak, you need the alternate install cd to install on raid [01:00] astro76: I have the complete DVD [01:00] michael_: no, sorry. the name looks like an name of an extension [01:00] Annirak, that is supposed to have the alternate installer on it also [01:01] How exactly do I check to see if my graphics card is functioning properly? [01:01] Strangework: glxgears === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb [01:01] astro76: specifically, I have the "ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso" image. So if I use the alternate install available on the menu of that disc, it should work? [01:01] thanks juano_ [01:02] Strangework: np [01:02] Does anyone here have an Eeee PC?

[01:02] okay i need some serious amounts of help, i'm very close to swearing off linux entirely [01:03] Pici; firefox was an ubuntu upgrade, yes [01:03] my internet keeps behaving like a rabid wolverine [01:03] and the xchat default for ubuntu *starts* in the mains creen and shifts to #ubuntu usually while I am automagically entering in my /msg nickserv etc. [01:03] FangLiger You need to describe the problem a little more technically for us. CAT-5e does not generally grow fur. [01:04] irc.indymedia.org [01:04] michael_: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm maybe you'll something there [01:04] nny put your password in the nickserv box in the settings for the server [01:04] lol Annirak: it's wireless [01:04] Johnny? [01:04] MasterShrek, i'll check that out [01:04] What does a ~ after a filename mean? [01:04] i'm running a gigabyte 802.11b PCI card [01:05] jimjam: usually temporary [01:05] FangLiger Let me rephrase then. Air does not generally grow hair, teeth, and hydrophobia [01:05] juano_: I ran the glxgears program, it has given approx 880fps. What worries me is that every so often, every 4 seconds, the gears are 'interrupted', solid black boxes appear over the gears. What does this mean? [01:05] i read referance to the RT61 chipset having problems [01:05] matttis: thats where i was previously, what do i do with the bin files? [01:05] lol @Annirak [01:05] jimjam, some text editors save backup copies with ~ at the end of the name [01:05] jimjam: type 'echo ~' in a terminal and youll see [01:05] Strangework: glxgears is not a benchmark [01:05] it seems to randomly stop working [01:05] g'night folks [01:05] michael_: execute [01:05] Pici, excuse me? [01:06] danbhfive: Alright. So they'll get cleaned up as time progresses? I don't have to worry about duplicate files? [01:06] it still has connection it just wont send or recieve packets [01:06] FanLiger: you could try changing the channel that the wireless is running on, are you using ndiswrapper? [01:06] astro76: Oh, I hadn't considered that. [01:06] Pici, oh, I see [01:06] matttis: is this a command, or how do i execute [01:06] Strangework: Its not a benchmark, it means nothing. If anything, its drawing faster than your screen can display. [01:06] jimjam: i dunno, I've never really paid attention to them [01:06] michael_: ./file.bin [01:06] jimjam, they won't get deleted automatically [01:06] Danbhfive: i don't know what ndiswrapper is, i'm running channel 6 would that cause a problem? [01:07] ^j ubuntu/hu [01:07] astro76: Oh, ok. Thanks. [01:07] FangLiger http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Gigabyte [01:07] hello [01:08] well, these guys will be more helpful than me [01:08] Pici: Hm, well, I attempted running Nexuiz on Ubuntu, the FPS has dropped drastically compared to when I played it on Vista [01:08] I must go [01:08] grrrrr.....i wish i knew which one i was using off the top of my head [01:08] FangLiger: well, channel 6 is the default, if other networks are operating on the same channel, it can cause problems [01:08] anyone know a good media player to listen to streaming music that allows you to change the amount of buffer used? [01:08] Pici: What can I do about this? [01:09] i should be the only one in range, but i know occasionally i will pick up my neighbor's network at like 1% strenght that might explain the intermittant problems [01:09] matttis: is the file name the name it shows in my download box, youll have to break it down for meh, im extrmemly new at this [01:09] but i don't have that problem in windows [01:09] just in ubuntu [01:09] danbhfive: should rsync take forever? =P [01:09] matttis: its showing as a exe file btw [01:09] danbhfive: and why -aS?

This is built from the latest cut of the 1.7 branch in case anyone is wondering why this is tagged 1.7.7 when the latest "official" Mozilla is 1.7.6. [01:12] I tried to edit the xorg.conf file logged in as root, but when I try to save it, it tells me that I don't have permission [01:12] matttis: what is this you ask?? i have no clue-- its the link on the site, aside from that, it wont let me unzip it [01:12] is there a way to easily click on someone name for replying with "randomnickname:" at the start of the input ? [01:13] novice42: I presume you are using ubuntu, why do you use root ? Isn't sudo enough ?

[02:12] MasterShrek, casio1374633 no its just a little change. yeah i restarted with ctrl+alt+ (uhm the delete button) but no change [02:12] Zelofun: my suggestion is merge partitons, defrag, then run ubuntu installer and use the slider to resize the hard drive. [02:12] corruptionoflulz: data loss I mean (sorry used to it fro my work) [02:12] Bakefy, open a terminal and type: killall firefox [02:12] MasterShrek: maybe he just need restart X [02:12] apparently he already did [02:12] yepp [02:12] Bakefy: ps -e | grep firefox [02:12] uKKeMan: maybe you just need to restart your computer [02:12] corruptionoflulz: ok [02:12] uKKeMan, then whatever you changed didnt do it, keep searching, or make sure you have the correct syntax [02:12] Bakefy: MasterShrek: I believe it's "killall firefox-bin" [02:13] pkill firefox [02:13] mastershrek: i copy and paste the syntax of the wacom site [02:13] Zelofun: i guess it's good to do a defrag before intsalling ubuntu anyways [02:13] toodles, you are correct [02:13] pkill -9 firefox [02:13] but i give it another try [02:13] brb [02:13] hello [02:13] Does anyone have experince getting a Atheros AR5007EG working? [02:13] hmm [02:13] How do I check to see what driver is currently assigned to my graphics card? [02:13] Zelofun: for me I suggest use GParted from live cd session to modify yout partitions then start installation... GParted intreface has more functionality than in installer [02:13] so is this the chat room? [02:14] toobles! you are the winner! [02:14] Strangework, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [02:14] lol [02:14] toodles* [02:14] is there any need for me to register with a website? [02:14] Strangework, it will give you a few lines, but it will narrow it down [02:14] MasterShrek: I will check that out, thanks :) [02:14] or am I speaking into the wind? [02:14] corruptionoflulz: I will do this but to be honest I do not appreciate that much MS defragmanter [02:14] Thanks, MasterShrek, danbhfiv and toodles [02:14] evasive: No. You can register with nickserv if you want. You'll be able to 'own' your nick, and send private messages. [02:14] hi, does ubuntu support any hardware accelerated h.264 or other hi-def video playback? [02:15] Bakefy: You've welcome :-) [02:15] the wind blows in evasive's face [02:15] Zelofun: you don't really have to merge them, it just sounded like you were getting confused on what should be what [02:15] =P [02:15] MasterShrek: Driver "kbd" [02:15] Driver "mouse" [02:15] Driver "synaptics" [02:15] Driver "wacom" [02:15] Driver "wacom" [02:15] Driver "wacom" [02:15] Driver "i810" [02:15] this is what came out of it. how do I interpret it? [02:15] !paste | Strangework [02:15] Strangework: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [02:15] !paste [02:15] Zelofun: but i guess it's still a good idea to defrag your windows partition [02:15] Strangework, its the i810 [02:15] greetings everyone [02:15] How do I make a slideshow of jpgs and have music in the background so that someone can watch it in windows? What app am i looking for? [02:15] corruptionoflulz: ok [02:15] I"m a former Windows user, and I'm lost... [02:16] I had a command that used to work in an older version, but it stopped! now I know the new fix! my firefox does it alot it seems like? any reason why? [02:16] evasive, you'll find your way, what's up? [02:16] MasterShrek: i810, umm. What is i810? [02:16] craigbass1976, most picture viewers can do slideshow, and use your favorite music player for music :) [02:16] corruptionoflulz: thanks!! see u soon [02:16] I have an ATI graphics card on an AMD [02:16] Strangework, its an intel-based gfx card [02:16] MasterShrek, what do I use to make it though? [02:16] but ubuntu 7 will not install on it [02:16] Does anyone have experince with Atheros AR5007EG wireless? [02:17] is there anyway to bring the files back that I deleted from the madwifi directory? [02:17] Good evening guys! How could I have more than 2 desktops (under gnome), thanks [02:17] evasive: What doesn't work during the install? [02:17] if i want hardware accelerated video playback in ubuntu, should i buy an amd or an nvidia graphics card? [02:17] K_Dallas: you mean like, desktop environments? [02:17] MasterShrek, the whoel deal is this... I hate walmart. My mother-in-law and I banter back and forth about it. I won't even go into one. I was thinking of shopping there this year, taking funny pics, making a show, and setting it to music to give her for xmas [02:17] panfist: I don't know which codecs work, but I have played hi-def videos with the default player, Totem, and also with xine. [02:17] corruptionoflulz, yes [02:17] K_Dallas: you mean more than one workspace? [02:17] that is it :) sorry for the wording [02:17] evasive, ahh, never had that trouble. Someone in here knows though [02:18] craigbass1976, put the pictures that you want in the slideshow in their own seperate folder, and double click one, i dont know what program will open up, and since i dont use gnome i cant exactly tell you how, but there shold be an option to start a slideshow within that picture viewer [02:18] the machine will bounce back somehting like an "I/O error" repeting over and over [02:18] evasive: Have you verified the CD? [02:18] i know they will play as long as you have the right codecs but i have a slow cpu and i dont think it can handle anything at 720p or higher [02:18] craigbass1976, you could try setting that up and using xvidcap (making sure to use capture sound) and making a video file out of it all [02:18] Benalex, i used to have 4 back when i was using unix [02:18] MasterShrek, can I make a quicktime movie of something like that? [02:18] evasive, tried the alternate installer? [02:18] and on an intel it works fine [02:19] craigbass1976, possible, an mpeg or avi is probabyl easier [02:19] K_Dallas: gnome should have 2 workspaces in the bottom right by default.. [02:19] K_Dallas: in gconf, its /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces [02:19] MasterShrek, right. One of those [02:19] corruptionoflulz, the default is 2, right [02:19] Flannel, thanik you [02:19] K_Dallas: you can just right click the workspaces, and change the settings [02:19] will try that too [02:19] Is there anyway to trouble shoot my wireless to figure out whats going wrong? [02:19] panfist: In that case I don't know. I have a fast cpu and an intel card and have no problems. I don't know how graphics hardware is used when it comes to video playback. [02:19] K_Dallas: assuming you have the workspace switcher on the bottom right... [02:19] thank you all [02:19] well, thanks all and goodnight! [02:19] How i Can deleate partition witch padlock ????????? [02:20] corruptionoflulz, should be there if it is the default [02:20] Kavok, whats the problem? what kinda wifi card? [02:20] !wifi | Kavok [02:20] Kavok: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:20] owoc, you need root priviledges [02:20] MasterShrek: Atheros AR5007EG I had to use ndiswrapper, Its installed .. I can see networks, I can click connect, but it won't connect [02:20] whats priviledges [02:20] MasterShrek: Security being on or off doesnt seem to matter [02:20] !sudo | owoc [02:20] owoc: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [02:21] MasterShrek: I know the CD is good because I can install 7.10 on my laptop [02:21] Does anyone have a documentation about CVS instalation and configuration? [02:21] evasive, there is an alternate installer cd, that may work [02:21] toodles amd and nvidia cards can take over some of the duty or decoding the video as long as the proper software is used, in windows the software is pretty crappy but its coming along. i was wondering if such a thing existed yet for linux or if no one has bothered to work on it yet [02:21] its for a HTPC [02:21] Kavok, tried using the terminal to set it up? [02:21] Flannel: I had to download Ubuntu 6 and IT worked [02:21] MasterShrek: I have a forum thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632115 [02:21] MasterShrek what do you mean ? [02:22] i don't guess that the avivo stuff works on linux. no idea about purevideo [02:22] Kavok, tried connecting using terminal commands instead of the gui one? [02:22] MasterShrek: I have no idea how to do that [02:23] When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings? [02:23] Kavok, open a terminal. sudo iwlist ath0 scan this will give you a list of networks (assuming your wifi card is labeled ath0) [02:23] panfist: I'd like to know this myself. Sorry I'm of no help to you there. [02:23] also, are there any Gentoo users here? [02:23] Kavok, sudo iwconfig ath0 essid this will associate it with an access point [02:23] evasive: i bet there's bunches in #gentoo [02:23] Kavok, sudo dhclient3 ath0 this will grab an ip address (assuming there is no encryption) [02:23] evasive- yes but they are busy waiting for their source to compile [02:23] how do I get there? [02:23] LOL [02:24] sproingie and toodles the reason i ask is that i have an AMD 2800+ socket 939 so I really can't upgrade the processor right now. if i upgraded the processor i would also have to get a new motherboard and i was hoping i could make the system last a little longer by upgrading the video card [02:24] ohok: :) [02:24] so how do I go into that chat room? [02:24] evasive: /join #gentoo [02:24] evasive, type: /join #gentoo [02:24] When I make a change to .Xdefaults in order to change settings in xterm, how do I refresh xterm with these new settings? [02:24] evasive- how did you ever get *here* ? [02:25] will a 2800+ be able to playback 720p in linux very well? it handles most of it ok in windows [02:25] rpj8, close xterm and reopen it [02:25] MasterShrek: Ah. I must be doing something wrong then [02:25] panfist, i should think so [02:25] ohok: I just opened this chat program and here I am [02:25] actually i have an ubuntu not a gentoo question [02:25] evasive- hahaha [02:25] my question is where is gpm ? [02:25] rpj8, close all instances of xterm maybe? [02:25] I can see it in apt-cache search [02:25] but apt won't install it ! [02:25] MasterShrek: Pretty sure I did [02:26] rpj8: you might need to run "xrdb -load .Xdefaults" [02:26] ohok: have some sympathy, I'm a noob [02:26] MasterShrek: give me a min [02:26] rpj8: and I think the new place for this is .Xresources [02:26] just kiddin ya [02:26] Can anyone help me installing a CVS? [02:26] kelsin: I see. So I should dump my stuff in .Xresources then [02:26] didie, of what? [02:26] THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS! [02:26] thanks for all the fish... [02:26] damn dolphins... [02:26] =P [02:26] mastershrek can you point me to a guide or website that will help me find and install the most efficient decoder/video player? i want the system to be as lean as possible so i can minimize any lag when decoding [02:27] so anyone know why a package would be in apt-cache but apt wont instal it? [02:27] mastershrek i think there are like 2 decoding paths, gstreamer and something else? how do they compare? [02:27] panfist, well, you probably want to go with a leaner version of ubuntu, i would suggest fluxbuntu, i use xine for videos [02:27] rpj8: I think so, I think Xdefaults was dropped a while ago, the main issue is without restarting your xsession I'm pretty sure you have to run that command on the file [02:28] ohok: what package? [02:28] gpm [02:28] panfist, i usually install all the gstreamer plugins, as well as everything (aside from a few things like googleearth) from medibuntu [02:28] MasterShrek: It seems to be working now. If I had a LAN ethernet connection and a wifi connection going to the same DHCP router would that cause a problem? [02:28] !info gpm [02:28] MasterShrek have you ever installed a CVS? [02:28] gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-25 (gutsy), package size 372 kB, installed size 708 kB [02:28] When upgrading a kernel, how can I specify how many older options to keep ? It seems Ubuntu only keeps the latest 3. [02:28] Kavok, i dont think so [02:28] H0130 [02:29] MasterShrek: Well its working now and I have no idea why [02:29] ohok: I assume you have universe enabled? [02:29] ohok, you have universe enabled? [02:29] so do I shrek [02:29] but I spoze its worht a check [02:29] i was thinking of going with mythbuntu which runs xfce, or just regular ubuntu. the system has 1 gig of ram. does the desktop environment really use that many cpu cycles when it's playing video? [02:29] MasterShrek: The only difference was I had an ethernet cable plugged in before [02:29] hey that almost rhymed [02:29] what is aptitude ot apt-get saying, just that it can't find gpm? [02:29] panfist, with one gig of ram, i wouldnt worry about any of that === hollow_ is now known as nucky [02:30] it would appear my sources.list got borked [02:30] greetings, just finished compiling gnome 2.20 but it wont load on my gentoo server [02:30] evasive: I would check in #gentoo [02:30] !source-o-matic | ohok [02:30] ohok: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [02:30] hello [02:30] vmware-server upgraded today, now i cant login remotely via the vmware server console [02:31] evasive, if you are a noob, like you claim to be, why are you using gentoo? [02:31] damn i hate that :) [02:31] i tried the suggested pam changes from the wiki [02:31] no luck though [02:31] !codecs [02:31] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:31] still get username / password invalid [02:31] gutsy finds it automatically but when i try to configure it with the xorg conf its not working [02:31] nucky, is it listening on a different port than before? [02:31] the tablet [02:31] no [02:31] Shrek- clearly evasive is a gentoo mole. [02:32] it appears that way ohok [02:32] Is there a way I can MD5sum an entire directory and get back one value for the whole directory? [02:32] went from 1.0.4 feisty1 to 1.0.4 feisty3 build [02:32] Hi guys. My System Sounds loop non-stop once they start playing. For instance, if there's a login system sound set and I login, the login sound playsback endlessly until I restart the system. Please help ;-( [02:32] when I hit "startx" it gives me a lousy desktop made of 2 colors [02:32] MasterShrek where could i check for the port change [02:32] evasive: go ask in #gentoo [02:32] firefly2442, i doubt it, compress it to a tar.bz2 or something then md5sum it [02:32] lol kellsin [02:33] quit [02:33] nucky, not really sure, the settings or something in vmware (sorry havent used vmware in ages) [02:33] anyone here has an graphictablet working with the wacom on gutsy?` [02:33] port 902 [02:33] uKKeMan, do you get any errors? look in /var/log/Xorg.log.0 [02:33] Is there some technical reason why a directory can't be MD5ed? [02:33] yeah i get errors [02:34] I also tried disabling all the system sounds then restarting my system. When I started my system again then set a system sound for checking a box, it starting playing back nonstop after being initiated once [02:34] I have an Aiptek, but havent had time to install it yet... :| [02:34] firefly2442: well there are many different ways it can be done, it's not defined [02:34] MasterShrek: yeah, it sort of defeats the purpose though, I just want to check if two directories are the same without using diff [02:34] i think i found the error [02:34] firefly2442: why without diff? [02:35] firefly2442, what you got against diff? [02:35] the /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd file has the wrong path [02:35] kelsin: the directories are on two different computers [02:35] nucky, thatll do it [02:35] firefly2442: I think the tar gzip is your best bet [02:35] this /usr/sbin/vmware-authd no longer exists [02:35] anyone? [02:35] firefly2442: or just tar right into md5 [02:36] it's in /etc/pam.d [02:36] "tar -c dir | md5" [02:36] MasterShrek, the funny thing is.. it is working buuut not through the xorg.conf cause i get "device not found" errors there.. thats the point why setting the option isnt working there [02:36] anyone know how to enable X forwarding from a Ubuntu server box, I'm using ssh -X user@myserver and then type xclock but it says: Error: Can't open display: localhost:0 [02:36] hello. i am about to replace my video card with a nvidia geforce 7600. do i need to install any drivers before hand or do i just pop it in? [02:36] MasterShrek, but why does it work then?! if the init fails during start of X?! [02:36] kelsin, MasterShrek: alright, thanks for the help :) [02:37] uKKeMan- if you get it working in tty be sure to let me know... [02:37] hey all [02:37] ok, I have a question. my menus are screwed up, and I tried reverting it, but the Internet, and graphics menu no longer show. Anybody know how I can revert it to default? [02:37] i dont know uKKeMan, i have no experience with tablets [02:37] this is the second time doing an update has broken my wireless networking [02:37] any ideas [02:37] hi all - my wireless card can see all available networks in range but will not connect to any. any thoughts? [02:37] ohok: its funny its working already but not during xorg.conf [02:38] firefly2442: System -> Prefs -> Main Menu and check out what it's doing? I think there is a revert option that will remove custimizations in your home dir (as long as your actual system menu folders aren't ruined) [02:39] NYC- how many networks do you *have*? [02:39] nope i was wrong [02:39] kelsin: think that was meant for someone else :) [02:39] the /usr/sbin/vmware-authd is a binary file [02:39] NYCThomasB - also where in NYC are you ? [02:39] Does anybody know if there is a linux utility that can help configure high end mice like the logitech g7-g9 line? [02:39] firefly2442: yep, I've done that like 5 times tonight :-( [02:39] stupid updates [02:39] wtf [02:39] nucky, of course it is, its in /usr/sbin [02:39] Condoulo: System -> Prefs -> Main Menu and check out what it's doing? I think there is a revert option that will remove custimizations in your home dir (as long as your actual system menu folders aren't ruined) [02:39] Does anyone know of a good SEGA Genesis emulator? One that works with a game controller? [02:39] usb game controller saitek [02:39] Guys, a little help with the non-stop looping of system sounds. It doesn't happen with Pidgen or other sounds initiated by applications. [02:40] hey I want to install flash player [02:40] kelsin- I closed Menu editor, re-opened, and then the revert button worked. [02:40] but I'm stuck on the extracter thing [02:40] dhude, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:40] is there a channel for vmware on ubuntu? [02:40] thank you [02:40] anybody have any mixer recomendations? is there a mixer plugin for rhythmbox??

[02:41] nucky, i dont think its ubuntu-specific, #vmware may help...if its even a channel [02:41] NYCThomasB: it is possible those people use mac filtering, most routers come with that now... so it's *possible* that you're all set [02:41] nucky, it is [02:41] NYCThomasB- up on E 33 you may be *just* out of range of WiFiNY.net [02:41] anybody have any mixer recomendations? is there a eq mixer plugin for rhythmbox?? [02:42] too bad bc its like the best provider in the city [02:42] nucky: vmware has an active forum you can check www.vmware.com [02:42] ok [02:42] colin__, xmms has one [02:42] yeah wtf though i wanna use rythmbox [02:42] bazhang: ive just seen where in there they dont really support the package install [02:42] kelsin - i was thinking that. reinstall of 7.10 helped with last night's issue btw. [02:42] ohok: how would i try to connect to that? [02:42] Anyone know why evince may not be showing me my text in a pdf unless I highlight it? [02:42] nucky: what seems to be the problem? [02:42] hello. i am about to replace my video card with a nvidia geforce 7600. do i need to install any drivers before hand or do i just pop it in? i have googled and can't find anything [02:43] after latest round of updates...i have no more wireless network [02:43] any ideas [02:43] Crankymonky: bad text colors, is it a pdf that you made, or one on the internet somewhere? [02:43] you would have to go to their site, contact them, have them do a site survey [02:43] Crankymonky, can you change the default font in it? [02:43] however you most likely are outside the range [02:43] kelsin, from my university [02:43] ohok: oh, ok :) [02:43] Anyone want to help a newbie compile her first source code? :D Pidgin 2.3.0 === bobby is now known as epsssssss [02:43] defyence: any reason you don't want to use the package in ubuntu? [02:43] they go all the way out to Maclaren pool or whatever its called but there are no buildings in the way === epsssssss is now known as eps_ [02:43] just the east river [02:44] can you sell the right to see the source code of GPL software? [02:44] hey guys, i need a software that can record video of me programming under ubuntu [02:44] this exist? [02:44] andruk- no way dude [02:44] MasterShrek, I guess I could output the whole pdf into text and remake it, but that wouldn't be solving the problem:P [02:44] defyence, sudo apt-get install build-essential you need this for compilers and such [02:44] kelsin: I figured it'd be a nice start for getting used to the process [02:44] i'd like to put together some tutorials [02:44] oh ok. im off 2nd - close to river. will look into it, thx [02:44] Crankymonky, tried a different pdf viewer? [02:44] ax3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts [02:44] ohok: can you tell me how to get the source for baudline: http://www.baudline.com/source_code.html [02:44] Flannel, THANKS! [02:44] andruk- didn't you see the story today about the break the seal license ? [02:44] defyence: ahhh, read the README file and the INSTALL file in the pidgin code, and run "sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin" before you do it, should be all set [02:45] ohok: because it does not appear to be "free" as in beer...and no i didnt see that...? [02:45] MasterShrek, Nope. about to now [02:45] If bzr didn't finish - the connection was interrupted, is there any way I can get it to continue? It just complains that the folder already exists. [02:45] I have two computers with gigabit ethernet, connected through a gigabit hub. I only seem to be getting 13MB/s though. Is this a Samba thing, an ubuntu thing, or... should I quit my whining with 13MB/s? [02:45] Is anyone else having problems w/ gmail imap or msn [02:45] 13mb/sec is unacceptable [02:45] for gbit [02:45] how to set which user can use su or sudo with OWN password to become reoot [02:45] adamonline45, quit whining!

Any ideas? [02:46] just afetr installing the plugins [02:46] yes I just read that [02:47] i am very enw ot linux [02:47] ax3: Do you have any thoughts as to why I might be sufferiing so? I was thinking my downstream router (100Mb/sec) might be limiting it, but even so, 13MB/s is more than its capacity, so I don't think that's it...

[02:47] i dont noe what to do in that [02:47] i created a file i pasted what it said [02:47] MasterShrek: ok.. or add to a group right? [02:47] and i executed it with chmod [02:47] andruk: alert the FSF foundation, sounds like are not following the GPL since their price sounds more then the cost of them duplicating the code for you, but past that we can't help you get the code [02:47] now i cant seem to paste it [02:47] LimCore, yea [02:47] flannel: Thanks for the heads up, I dunno why I just think I'd like to learn things like this.

[02:48] http://www.linux.com/articles/56642 in this link.....its a code of a program that converts a FLV youtube files to divx [02:48] andruk- I will be interested in hearing what you find out === vmlinuz is now known as vmlinuz` [02:48] i dont noe how to copy the file to bin [02:48] andruk: see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html for how you report 'em [02:48] Ssam: what is the program's name?

[02:49] window size might be limiting you [02:49] flv2avi [02:49] its a code [02:49] i need help in compiling the program [02:49] andruk: it's not illegal to sell GPL source. [02:49] Ssam: why not just view it in flv? [02:49] mnetok- I think you are right, but at the same time.... [02:49] Thanks flannel!@ [02:49] andruk: it *IS* illegal to *ONLY* sell it [02:49] because i need to forward them at times [02:49] What program can I use to convert a .ps to a .pdf ? [02:50] andruk: but their version they offer on their site is NOT GPL. so I think they're fine [02:50] anyone could buy the baudline code and just give it away [02:50] and i sometimes want to view on xp [02:50] !info ps2pdf [02:50] which dosent have an flv player [02:50] Package ps2pdf does not exist in gutsy [02:50] and i dont want to install it [02:50] Ssam: flv's can be forwarded [02:50] people rnt allowed [02:50] mneptok: it is illegal to charge more than for the cost of distribution if they already distributed the software to you [02:50] Okay, so MasterShrek I just checked, loads fine in xpdf [02:50] andruk: the part I don't understand is once you buy it, how they prevent you from also distributing it... but I'm not a gpl expert by any stretch [02:50] kelsin: does this, "tar -c dir | md5" actually create the tar file and store it someplace or pipe it straight into MD5? [02:50] now if they didn't distribute the software at all to you, then they don't have to do jack -- they just can't stop anyone else from giving you the source [02:50] kelsin- don't they need to change their wording a bit? [02:50] firefly2442: pipe it strait in [02:51] so can u help me in what the site is saying? [02:51] !info clive | Ssam [02:51] ssam: clive: Video extraction utility for YouTube and Google Video.

[02:52] ie, if I have more than one user, and each wants a different language [02:52] not allowed to install anything at work [02:52] Cmon guys, how do I convert a postscript ( *.ps ) to a pdf? :) [02:52] ssam: VLC lets you save the stream as any format you want, but it's not very efficient [02:52] Ssam: don't need to [02:52] ohok: as far as I know is legal, the wierd thing is that once I (for instance) buy it, I think I would be able to modify and distribute for free if I wanted to... not sure [02:52] ghostscript works for me [02:52] any video it plays can be saved [02:52] or there is text2pdf [02:52] jsoftw: ps2pdf [02:52] kelsin: its not in 7.10 [02:52] Ssam: you can put vlc on a usb stick [02:52] okay i ahve vlc [02:52] jsoftw: I have it installed by magic then [02:52] how i convert videos from it [02:53] the former has greater power, the later is simplifioed for a single task [02:53] jsoftw, http://www.ps2pdf.com/ [02:53] lol but i need to convert it [02:53] kelsin: then why do they say "Purchase the GPL source code for the baudline signal analyzer." They are also listed on Freshmeat. I understand that people can dual-license, and therein may lie the problem, if there is one. Your thoughts?

[02:54] Ssam: first link on google [02:54] anyone have an idea how i can download torrents on a second computer on my network, while controlling it on the first one? [02:54] any ideas [02:54] IANAL [02:54] use vnc [02:54] ssh? [02:54] onats: ssh [02:54] nx? [02:54] vnc? [02:54] take ur pic [02:54] pick* [02:54] onats:use vnc [02:54] jsoftw: I have mine from the ghostscript package [02:54] is simple [02:54] nx > vnc [02:55] kelsin: ok thanks. [02:55] so its really some sort of remote access.... [02:55] anyone? [02:55] can no one answer my question? Is it possible to have different users use Ubuntu in a different language? [02:55] onats: use rtorrent [02:55] onats: vnc and rtorrent [02:55] Anio: Of course [02:55] onats: and ssh, and maybe screen [02:55] ok ill check that rtorrent [02:55] Anio, yes it is [02:55] Anio: yes [02:55] on another note, who's using apt-cacher here? [02:55] ax3: Alright, I'll check those out... Thanks 8) [02:56] im doing a preseed for a network install. can't figure out why the following wont work, i get no gui [02:56] tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard,edubuntu-desktop [02:56] Thank you. I wasn't sure it was possible, because Windows doesn't let you except for one version. [02:56] Anio, type in the username. change the language in gdm and log in, do the same with your other user and you're set. [02:56] onats: rtorrent lets you set a directory to "watch" and immediately start up torrent you place in it, so it can be as easy as scping a file over to the other computer, if you have rtorrent running in a screen session you can ssh over later to check on it's status [02:56] do some digging on the ubuntuforums or make a posting if you haven't already adamonline45 [02:56] hope that helps [02:56] Anio: your users can be in different timezones too. If you so desire. [02:56] they can even use different desktops and all [02:56] excellent [02:57] I'm finishing backups today, then formatting and installing Ubuntu tomorrow. Thanks for the info. [02:57] onats: if you want to use BitTorrtent on a remote machine, or from a shell, BitTornado is the way to go. [02:57] onats: and we use apt-cacher extensively, too [02:58] (not surprisingly) [02:58] any reason to not add the Gutsy repositories to a Fiesty install? [02:58] mneptok, how do i know if its working? i setup the repository on the other machine pointing to my 2nd machine, and it seems to be updating.. that works right?:D [02:58] gstory: yes, many. don't. [02:58] gstory, yes [02:59] gstory: severe breakage? [02:59] ok. I kinda figured that. [02:59] anyone here know much about wireless networking [02:59] gstory: Just upgrade. [02:59] gstory: the packages are all build on different versions of the toolchain [02:59] don_pucci, just ask [02:59] I want to update my Postifx server but the 2.2 version is only on the Fiesty respositories. [02:59] gstory: you can easily backport individual packages though if you only need a few [02:59] lol [02:59] stefano..i have like 8 times already [02:59] perhaps don_pucci why not ask something specific [02:59] Guess I need to get the deb packages then. [02:59] so..after the last set of updates i no longer have funtioning wireless networking... [03:00] !prevu | gstory [03:00] gstory: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [03:00] thanks [03:00] don_pucci: can you be more precise? [03:00] onats: if the machine is updatimg, it's working ;) [03:00] hey guys, does anyone here know how to stop System Sounds from looping nonstop? [03:00] don_pucci, what kind of adapter do you use, do you use a native driver or ndiswrapper, do you use network manager? [03:00] ok...iwconfig returns nothing on essid [03:01] i am using network manager [03:01] mneptok, alright..thanks! [03:01] it is an intel 2200bg [03:01] Flannel: I guess I'm confused but does prevu do any cool features? I thought backporting was already a two line process [03:01] onats: and it's BitTornado you want :) [03:01] worked fine up until these last updates [03:01] native driver [03:01] mneptok, ok will check it out also... i'm just used to using azureus... [03:01] mh.. [03:02] kelsin: It makes backporting as easy as apt-get [03:02] how do i download opera [03:02] onats: ping if you want config help. i'm one of the BitTorrent gurus for the company :) [03:02] Flannel: it already is "apt-get build-dep && apt-get source --compile " [03:02] don_pucci, seems to me that this bug is already filed in launchpad, look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/141205 and see if you can find some answers [03:02] navetz: i think they have a package in the partner repos [03:02] kelsin: No. That's not backporting. [03:02] mneptok, great, fantastic.. will try it out.. i guess it has to be built from source right? [03:02] Flannel: I see, what is that then? [03:02] onats: no [03:03] mneptok: i cant find it do you know the repo [03:03] What is a good Python IDE for Ubuntu? [03:03] well..the update was not in september but this week [03:03] kelsin: thats just downloading/compiling the packages from stuff already in the repos. Thats equivalent of apt-get install [03:03] onats: sudo apt-get install bittornado openssh-server python-crypto [03:03] or at least the best way to develop python on ubuntu [03:03] Flannel: not if you have the gutsy deb-src lines on a fiesty system [03:03] mneptok, ok thanks! saving that...

[03:29] i have fluxbox as my default WM. how do i get gnome-volume-manager to load in the background on startup? [03:30] what does gnome-volume-manager do? [03:30] mightyteegar: read the fluxbox man page, I think it's just a couple commands in one of their startup files [03:30] mightyteegar: meaning you add a startup command to run gnome-volume-manager [03:30] detects my attached usb drives and mounts them in /media/DRIVENAME [03:30] mightyteegar, shouldn't you just setup hal to do that? [03:31] how hard would it be to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 server to ubuntu 7.10 server? [03:31] defeats the point of fluxbox to have all of these bloated gnome hanger ons doing things that other apps do better [03:31] bruenig: i could but gnome-volume-manager is so much easier :) [03:31] does hal do automount? [03:31] hmmm adding "blacklist blah " to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist doesn't keep 'blah ' from loading. i guess i mean i want a way to forbit the insertion of a module, rather than i want to black list it. i can move the modules out of /lib/* but i hate to see the error messages that generates. [03:31] gnome-volume-manager I must assume is just a front end of sorts to hal [03:31] bruenig: yes [03:32] bruenig: and provides the gnome-volume-properties gui to edit it's settings (what to do when different types of devices are connected) [03:32] How can I give my user access to the CDRom drive(s) I need to be able to mount them on Vitual box for some reason they do not appear on the selection list (is empty) [03:32] guys, having an issue with totem on a x64 system. posted here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3900181#post3900181 if someone can help me out with it ? [03:32] Agent_bob: I may be very wrong about this, but it could be a nother module that is loading needs the first one? I don't know how blacklist behaves [03:33] i can load gnome-volume-manager as a daemon and it does all the hard work automagically, but if there's a better way i'll take it [03:33] kelsin yeah. me too. [03:33] Agent_bob: (and this is a stupid comment but make sure you wrong "blacklist " not just "" in the blacklist file [03:33] g-v-m is just what i know and it just works (tm) [03:33] indeed.

[03:38] don't think audacity can read wma but haven't used ti in a while [03:38] anyone here used msn-proxy ? or know of a good msn proxy progream that will log chats and contacts?

[03:39] waa [03:39] inzeo: downlod from amcroedia site and install using the sh file [03:39] FluxD: I don't know what can do the wmv reading, but definitely just bash + lame will handle massive scale conversion [03:39] oh well [03:39] FluxD: okay, let me try that quick === c9s_ is now known as c9s [03:40] kelsin: no clue :/ [03:40] sup everyone [03:40] FluxD: I'm getting a "Segmentation Fault" when I attempt to install from the sh file [03:41] I just rebooted without the CD. Booted normally into Windows, but got window "Ubuntu Uninstall" Do you wat to uninstall Ubuntu? Ubuntu will be uninstalled. - I cancelled that. When I start FireFox, I get the screen that Ububto is starting. But I can't see any difference from normal windows. [03:41] inzeo, have you installed flashplugin-nonfree ?

[03:48] How come Ubuntu is not loading the demo from boot from cd? [03:48] eyemean: any 3d party sources at all, either from synaptic or by editing sources.list [03:49] How come Ubuntu is not loading the demo from boot from cd? [03:49] anyone know how I can fix my audio? [03:49] mightyeengar, no i didnt add any at all, they came as standard [03:49] is anyone else having pidgin crashing issues with gutsy gibbon? [03:49] IRCMonkey: what is it doing? [03:50] ok you can go into synaptic, under Preferences > Repositories and add them back in that way [03:50] does anyone know if myspace supports ogg ... googling doesn't seem to be clear [03:50] Ok I set it to boot from cd [03:50] eido: no [03:50] then it gives me four commands [03:50] afaik [03:50] MasterShrek: when i attempt to install manually, it continues to say I'm not entering a valid path [03:50] after it loads calderia [03:50] or something such as that [03:50] mightyteegar: do you know of a good ogg to mp3 convertor in synaptic> [03:50] inzeo, use sudo ?

[03:52] eido_: just as a side note, it's best to convert from cd/wav/flac to ogg or mp3, converting from ogg to mp3 and vice versa loses quality [03:52] MasterShrek: therefore, that's why it wasn't viewed as being installed after downloading Ubuntu Restricted [03:52] TeslaDave: @localhost [03:52] TeslaDave-> ssh localhost [03:52] preceeded with ssh :-) [03:53] inzeo, done an apt-get update lately? [03:53] inzeo: known issue [03:53] hey guys, quick question about the Path variable, which file do I have to edit to add a directory to it? [03:53] inzeo: Adobe just released a new flash player yesterday [03:53] Chico2: systemwide: /etc/environment [03:53] I tried .bashrc but no luck [03:53] mightyeengar, but where do i get 3rd part list from pls? [03:53] scguy318: do you know how to fix this issue? [03:53] inzeo: manual install or copy older Flash tarball to /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree [03:53] ah alriight thankyou, why do distro always change this?! [03:53] when i tested it, it says ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused [03:54] kelsin: i ripped my fathers recordings that are n cda to ogg is there a better way to rip to mp3...from what I have seen ogg seems to be superior just not as supported [03:54] so its not on here out of the box then [03:54] rbil [03:54] Chico2: .bashrc will only do it if you "export PATH=blah", that could have been your program? [03:54] can someone help me fix my audio (it died after I went to 7.10)??? [03:54] eyemean: in synaptic, under Preferences > Repositories, is there a tab that says "Third Party"? [03:54] eido_: conversion to mp3? use ffmpeg [03:54] scguy318: manual install straight from adobe's site, correct? cause thats where it won't let me enter a valid path [03:54] kelsin: I used sound joicer [03:54] Chico2: but I edit mine in .bashrc [03:54] juicer [03:54] inzeo: yeah, or you could use older tarball, lemme link [03:54] mightyeengar, yes, but its empty and i dont know what sources i should add there [03:55] TeslaDave-> you can also test with lsof -iTCP to see if it is listening on port 22 [03:55] eido_: going from cd->ogg->mp3 will lose quality, it's better just to cd->mp3, I use banshee to rip cds right to mp3, but recently I've started ripping to flac so I've switched to soundjuicer [03:55] eyemean: the medibuntu ones are good [03:55] kelsin: does it check your .bashrc if you use sudo to run the program? [03:55] Hello, has anyone else ran into issues when setting up Gutsy Gibbon to use LDAP authentication? [03:55] eyemean: you'll have to add others manually, like if you need mplayer stuff you add theirs [03:56] inzeo: http://rapidshare.com/files/74380214/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz.html [03:56] Chico2: honestly have never tried, probably if you want sudo to see it and stuff like that, just easier to place in /etc/environment [03:56] inzeo: copy via sudo cp /path/to/tar /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree [03:56] >> are there .deb packages for nasm 2.00 yet? [03:56] why my ubuntu pc become slow when i connected to internet? [03:56] inzeo: then sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [03:56] scguy318: thanks, lemme try that quick [03:56] kelsin: Okay thanks I think that was the problem, going to test it right now [03:56] ankur, run top and see [03:56] why my ubuntu pc become slow when i connected to internet? [03:56] inzeo: that tarball passes MD5 checks for the current package, hopefully they should release updated package real soon, I believe they already have it uploaded to Hardy [03:56] Every time I update nsswitch.conf to include ldap as it's authentication option it hangs on boot.. any ideas? [03:56] mightyeengar, im new to linux, ,i just wanted to add the ones that came with ubuntu at fresh install, or does the list come blank at first [03:57] ankur do you expect gigabit speed?

I have an installation of Fedora 7 on a USB 3.5" disk that has photos on it and I'd like to mount the drive in Ubuntu to access the files, but only the boot partition shows up; can anyone help? [03:58] ankur what? [03:58] eyemean: to add others you need to add them to /etc/apt/sources.list on your own [03:58] what i need to see in there? [03:58] bulmer and others, thanks for the help, got it up and running, didn't have opensshserver installed [03:58] mightyeengar, lol, that explains it then, ok thanx for ur ehlp m8, much appreciated [03:58] ankur what are you expecting? [03:58] good luck :) [03:58] i run top programee [03:58] TeslaDave-> okay cool [03:59] ankur and did you see what you expected? [03:59] bulmer, one last quick question , to ssh from internet to my box, how would i do it, just ssh ip.ad.dre.ss [03:59] scguy318: it keeps trying to download from the internet and therefore giving me the MD5 error [03:59] Anyone know ho I can pull my audio settings from the pre7.10 ubuntu??? [03:59] inzeo: did you do what I suggested? [03:59] tesladave: yes, although if you have a router you might need to tell it to forward ssh traffic [03:59] I should probably also say that I have installed LVM2, but the Fedora logical volume does not show when I do df -h [03:59] TeslaDave: if you are a different user on this other computer probably need "ssh user@ip.ad.dre.ss" [04:00] inzeo: sudo cp /path/to/tar /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree then sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree? [04:00] TeslaDave-> yes, assuming you dont have nat and your pc is directly connected to the internet with its own routable ip address [04:00] scguy318: yes, that is what I typed, but I'll try again [04:00] inzeo: if the tar is in the local cache then it won't d/l [04:00] bulmer port forwarding is up, but do i need to throw in the -l login command or not [04:01] TeslaDave: if you're on a linux/unix box where you are the same username, no, if you are you either need -l or "user@address" [04:01] TeslaDave-> ssh -l username@remoteipaddress [04:01] scguy318: wait, there we go, I think it did it this time..sorry about that, definitely not questioning your genius :) [04:01] tesladave: you can but just user@host works too [04:01] perfect, bulmer do you know anything about wake up on lan [04:01] wow ubuntu is the shiznuts [04:02] thanks mightyteegar [04:02] Can anyone help with a problem with a logical volume not showing up? [04:02] TeslaDave-> that functionality is enabled on the bios [04:02] TeslaDave: if you want to run X apps remotely login like this: ssh -X user@host [04:02] kelsin: sorry...loaded banshee on my pc but i only see options to copy cd to image or burn straight to cd [04:04] There are a lot of people on this channel; doesn't anyone have any suggestions for dealing with an LVM problem? [04:04] inzeo: have you said anything? I dropped off [04:05] rbil, thats in linux right to see the actual programs run, but say remotely connecting from a windows machine, i just need an x-windows client for windows running on that machine [04:05] Can someone point me in the right direction on how to setup samba to work with os 10.4? I have samba installed on a U.Server 7.10 box. unless thats not the best way to file share. I had given Others [read and write] status and it worked, but everytime i looged into ubuntu it gave me an error about that. [04:05] scguy318: wait, there we go, I think it did it this time..sorry about that, definitely not questioning your genius :) [04:06] hey, does anyone know a partition editor that i can use without burning it to cd?

[04:06] skar, gparted [04:06] eido_: you're right, I was on Foresight linux when I used banshee, I honestly don't know why banshee doesnt' have mp3 importing available [04:06] MasterShrek, i've tried that, but it won't let me edit my ubuntu partition [04:06] chetnick i could but it gave me an error [04:06] inzeo: cool [04:06] MasterShrek, it has a lock symbol beside it [04:06] inzeo: glad it works :) [04:06] skar, boot of the ubuntu disk and it will, you cant edit it while its mounted [04:06] does anyone here know anything about acer-acpi or acerwificontroller [04:06] chetnick so i took it off [04:06] TeslaDave: you can install cygwin on windows to get a X server, there are also some pay-for x servers for windows [04:07] kelsin: ok I see that I can output files to pcm, flac, aac, and ogg, mp3 is a proprietary format does that mean I have to add the library ...pretty fresh nstall 7.04 [04:07] for ubuntu [04:07] scguy318: so will that still update by itself once they update the package in the ubuntu repos? [04:07] rbil all i have to do to lets say run gimp remotely is just put that -X command in there to all all X a programs to display like they should [04:07] inzeo: yes [04:07] MasterShrek, you mean use the live cd of ubuntu?

[04:09] TeslaDave: then restart the ssh servers with "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" [04:09] vee_: You need to change the share location in the /etc/smb.conf [04:09] any at all able to help [04:09] i tried the driver that came with 7.10 [04:09] TeslaDave: if you're running a GUI desktop in Gutsy, it's running X [04:09] and then tried the ATI Official one [04:09] So, I want to install gnome-do (http://do.davebsd.com/) because I am a LaunchBar whore from Mac-land.

[04:14] vee_: [04:15] inazad: looks like an MD5 hash [04:15] vee_: sure, go ahead [04:15] rudelerius the first user that is created during installation [04:15] rudelerius is that not the admin [04:15] rudelerius or is root the admin? [04:15] scguy318, ya but what it mean ? [04:15] rudelerius you can luagh now [04:15] vee_: in most other linux distributions that would be true, but in ubuntu, you just create a user [04:15] vee_: it's not a dumb question [04:16] inazad: well its just a hash [04:16] inazad: the output of hashing w/e it is [04:16] nextract: also, check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and make sure fglrx isn't being blacklisted on startup [04:16] inazad: you'll have to tell us the context :) [04:16] scguy318, kk [04:16] vee_: it's not the admin, but you can gain admin privileges by using the sudo command [04:16] I can't get xsenors to read the temperature sensors or the fan RPMs. It works correctly for the voltages. [04:16] vee_: the howto I sent you has pretty good step by step instructions [04:17] demon_spork: try detecting your sensors with sudo sensors-detect [04:17] Hm, so no gnome-do users yet? [04:17] rudelerius thanx. so none of the users that are on my computer so far are no different in status? [04:17] mightyteegar: cant see any [04:17] strange [04:17] vee_: that depends on how you created them, but if you did not stray from the standard, then no [04:18] nextract: no error lines at all in Xorg.0.log? [04:18] nextract: hrm [04:18] demon_spork: after detecting and committing its results to /etc/modules, you'll prob have to modprobe the modules manually [04:18] how do i close out of a '... | less' without using ctrl+z [04:18] demon_spork: or just reboot [04:18] ctrl+c [04:18] vee_: if you go to System>Users and Groups you should see a list of all users [04:18] done [04:18] rudelerius I installed the server edition of ubuntu, then put the xubuntu desktop on [04:18] is there a commandline utility for encoding and decoding base64? [04:18] well there where error lines [04:18] just no EE [04:18] scguy318, rebooting didn't work [04:19] rudelerius thats where i created other users so far [04:19] mightyteegar: thx [04:19] nextract: ok, next check just to make sure [04:19] robr: q [04:19] vee_: ok; well I don't know that much about the server edition, but there should be a user on your system named 'root' [04:19] nextract: what kernel are you running? [04:19] vee_: that is the only true super user on the computer [04:19] rudelerius i see it [04:19] scguy318: thx i'll try that [04:19] rudelerius i also gave him (ha) a pass that i created [04:19] vee_: all other users can have access to super user functionality, but it is not enabled by default [04:19] scguy318, xsensors won't even detect the sensor is there unless the module has been loaded, it is detecting the sensors but not reading any values from them [04:20] mightyteegar the latest x86 one [04:20] that came with gutsy [04:20] how do i change irc channels??? I want to access a cedega chat [04:20] michael: /join #nameofchan? [04:20] nextract: nvm, stupid question. what do you get if you run locate fglrx.ko? [04:20] rudelerius only one needs to have it.... if I can use root remotely then none of the others do [04:20] scguy318: ty for the help on adding support to sound juicer but it doesn't seem to let me edit a profiles stream it won't let me change GStreamer pipeline. is there anyone that has added this support to sound juicer, it appears that the app stops reponding after editing profiles? [04:20] michael, type /join #nameofchan [04:20] hey folks...... i have gutsy and i can't make my function keys work. can anyone help? [04:21] michael: do ... /join #channelname [04:21] they did work at one point [04:21] type /join in this text? [04:21] or termi [04:21] arooni________: what type of keyboard? [04:21] michael: in your wonderful chat box probably [04:21] michael, in this text [04:21] hehe [04:21] your wonderful [04:21] Hello, has anyone else ran into issues when setting up Gutsy Gibbon to use LDAP authentication? [04:21] it locates a few [04:21] 1 in kernel modules [04:21] demon_spork, microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 .... [04:22] all in /lib/modules [04:22] nextract: any in a volatile/ directory? [04:22] vee_: I am definitely no linux expert, but I believe you can remove access to sudo for other users, but if you wish to access super user privileges, you should definitely use sudo, and NOT login and work as the root user unless you absolutely have to [04:22] nope [04:22] none in that [04:22] rudelerius: you can, in fact only the first user created can use sudo OOTB [04:22] kelsin, rbil, mightyteegar and everyone else who helped, Thank You, i'm good to go, up and running [04:22] Thanks [04:23] demon_spork, any ideas ? [04:23] TeslaDave: good [04:23] rudelerius: you can also remove access to terminal all together i think [04:23] nextract: ok, there's a problem ... fglrx isn't getting loaded properly [04:23] is it possible to install PHP 5 with apt-get? [04:23] rudelerius no.... the only reason i ask about that is that when I set up my two hdd system.... no one can write to the second drive [04:23] hey does anyone know where the gui keyboard shortcuts stores the info [04:23] ? [04:23] i ran dkpg-reconfigure xorg-server [04:23] nextract: need to think for a min. :) [04:23] like what file? [04:24] rudelerius the mount point is ..... media/second [04:24] and chose fglrx [04:24] and rebooted [04:24] robr, aptitude search php5 :) [04:24] and thats the current stage i am at [04:24] ok np :) [04:24] rudelerius im not sure if that was the right thing to do [04:24] robr: apt-cache search php [04:24] robr: yes, apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 [04:24] rudelerius only root can rad and write to it [04:24] vee_: I don't know the reason that would be, other than the drive may not be formatted correctly, or it may not be mounted at startup, or the privileges may not be set up correctly [04:24] nextract: ok, as an absolute last resort we'll uninstall the driver from the repo and then clean up any stray fglrx.ko modules on your system, but before we do that... [04:24] thank you :) [04:25] rudelerius i wanted all users to be able to [04:25] hmm [04:25] vee_: you can do ls -l in the folder and see the permissions [04:25] rudelerius it says only root has all access [04:25] ank: in gconf, for example the metacity ones are in the apps/metacity/ keys [04:25] nextract: when you ran locate fglrx.ko, what exactly did it find? [04:25] u want me to paste in here? [04:25] anyone know the cedega channel? [04:25] nextract: no [04:25] =/ [04:25] kelsin: thanks [04:25] rudelerius how do i change these permissions? [04:25] vee_: it might be a lot to explain here, but you can change the permissions so that all users have read and write access to that folder [04:26] michael: "/join #cedega" [04:26] nextract: b/c they'll start with a / and the irc will complain :) [04:26] vee_: type [04:26] ok [04:26] ill type it then [04:26] vee_: type 'man chmod' in a terminal [04:26] nextract: type them out starting with a -, then the path name [04:26] rudelerius i will [04:26] vee_: chmod will allow you to change the permissions; you might try googling for a more intuitive how-to or tutorial [04:26] rudelerius ok... [04:26] ./lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko) [04:27] ./lib/modules/fglrx/fglrx.ko [04:27] ./lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.ko [04:27] ./lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/.fglrx.ko.cmd [04:27] ./lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/fglrx.ko [04:27] thats it [04:28] rudelerius is logging in with root a bad idea to change the permissions? [04:28] vee_: use sudo [04:28] vee_: it's ussually easier to use sudo on the command line, and safer [04:28] nextract: ok, that's a lot but doesn't nec. mean anything yet... one more thing to look at [04:28] ok [04:28] hi, i just formatted to ubuntu and i need some help setting up so i can compile things, like g++ is not set up [04:28] rudelerius ok.... sudo [04:28] sudo -i :) [04:29] c00ly: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" [04:29] thanks [04:29] not a good idea to use aptitude for meta-packages [04:29] why? [04:29] meta-package hell [04:29] use apt-get [04:29] nextract: /msg me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [04:29] ok [04:30] ok, so apt-get install build-essential? [04:30] sudo apt-get [04:30] * mightyteegar braces for the impact [04:30] English help wanted. What does it mean 'to hover sth. over'? as in "[tooltip] The user hovers the cursor over an item, without clicking it, and a small box appears with supplementary information regarding the item being hovered over." [04:30] rudelerius would it be sudo chmod 0777 /media/second ???

[04:31] vee_: that will work [04:31] i have heard of a few option [04:31] wicd madwifi and ndiswrapper [04:31] but what is the best for ubuntu 7.10 [04:32] so anyone have any help for me [04:32] mightyteegar, Dr_willis : Thank you for explaining. [04:32] even if it is a good wiki or howto [04:32] mediahunter: I thought atheros just worked in 7.10 [04:32] keep in mine i am still a neb [04:32] umm, what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [04:32] rbill if it does mine is not for some reason [04:32] i have a acer aspire 3680 [04:32] bullgard4: np [04:32] mightyteega i tried to DCC it [04:32] with a swtich and it does not lite up and i can not seem to see the wireless extension [04:33] if that doesnt work [04:33] ill put it on pastbin for ya [04:33] mediahunter: does it have a real switch to run it on or off? [04:33] nextract: ok, how do i get to pastebin? [04:33] hey folks! none of my function keys are working (i can hit f1 and help launches... but when i try to map the deskbar to f3 for example... i cant :( i have gutsy. at some point this worked... but now it doesn't :(. [04:33] !pastebin [04:33] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [04:33] Chico2: aptitude has a gui interface, apt-get is just commandline. aptitude is smarter about dependencies too [04:33] eido_: thx [04:33] does anyone know how I can install a certain USB mass storage driver on ubuntu? [04:34] sproingie: ah alright thanks [04:34] !lvm [04:34] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [04:34] mightyteegar ---> http://pastebin.com/m538cf1ad [04:34] it's a usb driver for a digital photo keychain [04:34] Chico2: however, apt-get has super-cow powers, aptitude does not [04:34] nextract: ok need a few mins to compare this one with my old working on [04:34] e [04:34] mightyteegar: just trying to give back [04:35] anyone? [04:35] ok, now i want to set up java, what repositories should i add? [04:35] * genii watches the super-cows fly over the fence into the next pasture [04:35] ok np mightyteegar ty :) [04:35] c00ly: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" [04:35] is that jre too? [04:36] c00ly: yes, it pulls in the jre [04:36] good night all [04:36] rudelerius that worked! great. when I installed the OS was it the right thing/wise to have a mount point of media/.... should have it been something different? im not quite sure why you bounce off a directory on the main drive to get to another. [04:36] :) teksavvy pwns [04:37] vee_: that is a logical place to mount a second drive (some might also use /mnt); it is like that because everything in linux is considered a file [04:38] * Freman curses ati [04:38] vee_: your hard drives are file; folders are files; your sound card is a file; your monitor is a file; everything on your system is considered a file [04:38] vee_: glad that you got it working [04:39] ïðèâåò, õâàòèò ìîë÷àòü [04:39] ïîìîùü íóæíà [04:40] nextract: ok, made some edits to the one you posted... now do this [04:40] i'm looking for a utility something like a linux-live cd but the comp i'm working no cannot handle a linux live cd [04:40] Can anyone help with a problem with a logical volume? [04:40] magic_ninja: why not? [04:40] nextract: back up your current xorg.conf -- cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.WORKING [04:41] ok [04:41] done [04:41] Chico2: its a damn p2 with reg sd ram like 396 mb [04:41] rudelerius that makes sense... sorta...everything stems from one central point [04:41] nextract: if for some reason this fails on the next part then just copy the .WORKING file back to xorg.conf [04:41] Chico2: its from like 97 [04:41] oh haha, well not even text will work? [04:41] ok np [04:42] vee_: everything is just a part of a single file system; the central point is the root / (not to be confused with the root user) [04:42] nextract: go to the pastebin url http://pastebin.com/m5d5c8605 , copy the whole thing and overwrite your existing xorg.conf [04:42] nextract: make sure you've backed up your current one first [04:42] nextract: i cannot stress that part enough :) [04:42] yep np [04:42] i have dont worry [04:42] :)# [04:43] :0 [04:43] we'll see if that's true in a few minutes :P [04:43] rudelerius makes sense form a programming side of things... i know AS3 and thats set up like that [04:43] Anyone got any helpful knowledge about logical volumes? [04:43] nextract: once you've edited your xorg.conf, hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X -- this will kill your desktop session, obviously [04:43] vee_: it probably has its advantages and disadvantages [04:43] nextract: before you do that... [04:44] rudelerius what other places would one mount a drive? [04:44] can someone recommend a mixer for me? [04:44] i have an audiophile 24/96 soundcard [04:44] xfce4-mixer doesnt seem to recognise it [04:44] nextract: if your X comes back up, log in and run fglrxinfo and tell me what you get [04:44] vee_: /mnt is a common place to mount a hard drive [04:44] nextract: and whenever you're ready, go ahead and restart X [04:45] ok [04:45] here goes [04:45] vee_: /media is now more commonly used for temporary devices like a USB flash drive or CD/DVD drive [04:45] echosystm: what sound engine are you using? (alsa,oss,etc.)? [04:45] rudelerius can i remount in that are? [04:46] whatever is installed by default [04:46] alsa i think? [04:46] echosystm: from a terminal, run alsamixer [04:46] sound works fine [04:46] i just want to change the vol [04:46] ok, does that have a taskbar icon? [04:46] vee_: you can, but it doesn't really make a difference if it is mounted in /media or /mnt; your system will function the same with it mounted in either place [04:46] still the same [04:46] echosystem: in a terminal run ... alsamixer [04:46] Still saying mesa [04:46] when i do fglrxinfo [04:46] nextract: any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [04:47] ill check [04:47] nextract: i've gone through this before with my radeon x300, so all of this is coming off the top of my brain :) [04:47] i know how to do that rbil, but im after something that runs in the sys tray etc. [04:47] does such a thing exist? [04:48] cool [04:48] thanks so much ur helping me [04:48] Can anyone help with a question about logical volumes? [04:48] :) [04:48] nextract: one day it magically worked, until i upgraded to gutsy and had to finally say goodbye to it :) [04:48] ok [04:48] http://pastebin.com/m6cd7d27d <---- xorg log [04:48] rudelerius kewl [04:48] echosystm: maybe this? http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/gvtray-a-volume-control-for-your-system-tray/ [04:49] nextract: errors! k, need to look this over and think a bit [04:49] vee_: was part of your problem also that you could not access the share from your mac? [04:50] rudelerius yes, i had two [04:50] how do i list file permissions as a number (066, 075) etc... for a given file or directory? [04:50] arooni: ls -l [04:50] vee_: can you at least find the machine from the mac? [04:50] kk np [04:50] :) [04:50] rudelerius let me try [04:51] I finally figured out how to install Pidgin (2.3.0), got it all done, did it by compiling the source code... [04:51] ...And it won't open. Any advice? [04:51] vee_: try pinging the IP address of the ubuntu server the share is on and see if you get a response [04:51] how do I find out what the default gateway for my computer is? [04:51] defyence: what did typing in pidgin show? [04:51] FluxD: "route" or "route -n" if it's slow, it's the gateway for the 0.0.0.0 address [04:52] thank you. [04:52] cloudpersona: try ip route show [04:52] FluxD: One second, I tried opening it my classic Windows-trained-brain way by double-clicking the icon... Lemme try it. :P [04:52] cloudpersona: system administration network [04:52] rudelerius i got it mounted on my desktop of my mac..... i imagine that i have to get SAMBA to work if I want to get to thst server remotely? [04:52] pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libpurple.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [04:52] kelsin_: I think u mean cloudpersona :) [04:53] Well, that helped. Now I know the problem! :D Thanks, FluxD [04:53] if i was running a game in a window [04:53] defyence: did u have that compile too? [04:53] FluxD: yeah, I must be really tired, been doing that all night when lines scroll as I'm finding a name :) [04:53] how would i get it to release the mouse? [04:53] FluxD: Nope [04:53] like, in windows you would just alt-tab [04:53] vee_: clarify; you do in fact see the share on the desktop of your mac? if so, presumably you just cannot access it? [04:53] cloudpersona: kelsin_> FluxD: "route" or "route -n" if it's slow, it's the gateway for the 0.0.0.0 address [04:53] defyence: did you run "sudo make install" yet? [04:53] nextract: ok, now we try the last resort [04:53] kelsin_: no problemo :) [04:53] kelsin_: Yes, I did === kelsin_ is now known as kelsin [04:54] nextract: this part's a bear [04:54] hrm.. can anyone see what's wrong with this mysql query im trying to add? http://pastebin.com/d42a13fe0 [04:54] nextract: don't do anything just yet, but here's what we're going to do: [04:55] zynergi: can you pastebin the error? [04:55] nextract: uninstall every fglrx driver on the system, uninstall everything to do with mesa and remove all those stray fglrx.ko modules [04:55] rudelerius i can access it and read.write [04:55] zynergi: probably ask in sql channel :) [04:55] rudelerius it works on my mac desktop and not the other way around [04:55] http://pastebin.com/d54860964 is the error [04:56] vee_: ah, ok, so your problem then is that you cannot write from your ubuntu server to your mac? is that correct? [04:56] zynergi: I didn't think alter table could take multiple adds, might try making two alter table statements, past that yeah you probably should ask in a db channel [04:56] rudelerius yes [04:56] mightyteegar: im not sure how to do all that, kindof a nix newb tbh [04:56] zynergi: also maybe adding a ; to the end of the first full statement [04:56] Hmm, trying to find the answer to this one still... [04:56] kelsin; doh [04:56] nextract: that's why i'm here :) it's actually not hard, just time-consuming [04:57] ok ty :) [04:57] vee_: ok, then I am not sure I can help you; the problem is likely with a setting on the mac; you probably need to set up the mac to allow access from remote machines and I don't have any idea how to do that [04:57] nextract: first fire up synaptic [04:57] kk [04:57] nextract: and search for "fglrx" (no quotes) [04:57] defyence, you are compiling pidgin 2.3.0 from source, correct? [04:57] vee_: unless the mac is running ubuntu as well... [04:57] ok came up with 2 things [04:57] Anyone got helps for me on logical volumes? (Yes, I'm still asking!) [04:57] nextract: xserver driver and what else? [04:57] Restricted Drivers manager [04:58] rudelerius it is set to share... where would i find the mac drive mounted on the ubuntu server [04:58] defyence: did you let it install in the default /usr/local? [04:58] and the ATI Driver [04:58] defyence, what ./configure options did you use? [04:58] nextract: ok, you need the rest. driver. mgr. so leave that. mark the ati driver for uninstall [04:58] done [04:58] kelsin: No, I put it somewhere... else.... [04:59] Hi I need some help with audacity and no one seems to be alive in #audacity... So my recording does not work at all... anyone here use Audacity on ubuntu? [04:59] [Gutsy, Gnome] In the main menu, clicking on 'Applications' will open a sub-menu. Is there in it a menu item 'Utilities'? Or what is the English name of it? [04:59] vee_: honestly, I am not sure. using the nautilus file browser in gnome, I navigate to ///network and I can find the other machines on my network [04:59] defyence: probably not a default library path place then and ldd can't find the libpurple library, if you know where it put it's libs you can temporailiy run "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/pigin/lib pidgin" to run it [04:59] rudelerius lemme try [05:00] nextract: next search for mesa [05:00] defyence, what configure options did you use when you compiled? thats the reason its not finding libpurple, you probably didnt use the right options [05:00] kelsin: I thought they all went to the same place... Then it's looking for it somewhere else? Thanks for your help, I'll try that. [05:00] all it found was GNUBik [05:00] nextract: and *write down* these packages (you may need to reinstall them later) [05:00] a game [05:00] vee_: you could also try typing in the name of the mac in the same manner; e.g. ///mac/shared_folder [05:00] rudelerius is Applications>Network the place to look? [05:00] defyence: it might be depending on where you told it to install [05:00] MasterShrek: I couldn't tell you exactly [05:00] nextract: when you searched for "mesa" you didn't get a whole bunch of results? [05:00] Look before you what now? :P [05:00] vee_: try Places>Network [05:00] no [05:00] only one [05:01] hi all [05:01] and it was a game called GNUBrik [05:01] vee_: not sure if XFCE has a "Places" [05:01] defyence: you normally should not install to /usr since that's where ubuntu packages often install to. Most source packages install to /usr/local/ which is good. If you put it somewhere other than those to then it might not know where to find the files [05:01] nextract: ok, that's fine, gimme a min. [05:01] rudelerius dont see it... ha [05:01] kk np [05:01] Hi schone [05:01] rudelerius has to be somewhere else [05:01] trying to get the emerald themer running but having problems installing svn, is there a certain method to do this? (sorry first time using linux) [05:01] Hello, I'm having a problem with the latest firefox update conflicting causing xml parsing errors. Anyone with similar problems? [05:02] vee_: I agree, but since I don't have access to XFCE, it will be difficult for me advise you where to go [05:02] defyence, i think you want ./configure --prefix=/usr [05:02] rudelerius how can if nautilous is installed?? [05:02] nextract: now, run sudo rmmod fglrx [05:03] MasterShrek: Trying that now, thanks :) [05:03] ok [05:03] vee_: it is just the file browser, like Windows Explorer; XFCE certainly has a file browser [05:03] nextract: now, run locate fglrx.ko again and delete every one you find [05:03] defyence, also there is a debian package out there, it would probably be easier/faster [05:04] defyence: remeber that --prefix /usr will conflict with the debian package should you install that too [05:04] Anyone aware of a script that will automatically replace a folder icon with the album art? [05:04] Schone, sorry but I can't help with the Emerald Themer; I don't know anything about it [05:04] MasterShrek: Yeah, but for some reason I felt motivated to try and figure out something that my friend said would be harder, since I have nothing to lose right now... [05:04] rudelerius ok.... well i can find Applications>Network.... but the ony things in there are firfox, mozilla thunder., and pidgin [05:04] I'm weird like that. [05:04] I still need help with logical volumes- can anyone help?? [05:04] DaveC: http://my.opera.com/sjosul/blog/2007/10/28/album-art-as-folder-icon-in-gnome [05:05] Hello, I'm having a problem with the latest firefox update conflicting causing xml parsing errors. Anyone with similar problems? [05:05] defyence, yea, its nice to know how to compile things, but thats kinda the point of ubuntu, to not have to do things like that [05:05] kelsin: Awesome! You rock. Thanks mate. [05:05] vee_: you should have a 'home' folder or a 'Computer' folder or icon [05:05] rudelerius i am in the Home folder. [05:05] gilgad: have not installed 3.0 yet; waiting for official release [05:05] DaveC: I've wanted to do that for a while too, :) glad it came up so quick in google lol [05:06] rudelerius: no, i'm talking 2.0.0.11 [05:06] kelsin: I suppose that I wasn't using the proper terms. Thanks again. [05:06] mightyteegar: all done [05:06] vee_: you should have an address bar or buttons that show where you are in the file system (if buttons, you can change in view or somewhere) [05:06] i did locate again just to check [05:06] Is there a good simple program that works well for ubuntu to convert .midi to .wav [05:06] it lists nothin [05:06] so all done [05:06] gilgad: oh. sorry; I haven't had problems, but only used sparingly so far. sorry [05:06] vee_: if it helps, the default explorer for xfce is "thunar" [05:07] rudelerius changed to location... whats next? [05:07] rudelerius: meh, thanks anyway [05:07] gilgad: thanks; I know next to nothing about XFCE [05:07] nextract: ok ... go to this address http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide and follow Method 2 [05:07] MasterShrek: This is just a diving board for me. I want to get used to it on an OS I can still function on regularly, and be given the option to do more advanced work while still being comfortable and functional. :) [05:07] nextract: before you do that [05:07] rudelerius: yea, installed it once, what does he need? [05:07] ok [05:08] nextract: i made a small change to that xorg.conf file, here's the new one: http://pastebin.com/m195b04ec [05:08] vee_: type in the name of the mac and the name of the shared folder e.g. ///macname/share [05:08] defyence, thats the reason i switched back off ubuntu, i didnt like how the advanced things worked, kernel compiles and such were just a pain in the arse [05:08] rudelerius now it looks more like exploror.... you can now type in an addy [05:08] ok [05:08] rudelerius ok [05:08] MasterShrek: Oh, really? Bugger. :P Lol [05:08] and i should rewrite the existing with this one? [05:08] =P [05:08] gigad: trying to find his mac share from his ubuntu; I know nothing about macs either! [05:08] nextract: follow that guide, use that new xorg.conf and tell me what happens [05:08] nextract: yep [05:08] rudelerius: yea, i'm no help there [05:08] hey can ne 1 help walk me thru setting up screen savers as backrounds in ubuntu gutsy 64bit i have tried like every tutorial out there and cant get it to work [05:08] ok will do [05:09] nextract: i'll be around for a bit, good luck :) [05:09] ne 1??? [05:09] anyone know how to set the default profile in firefox? [05:09] Can anyone help with problem with logical volume? Anyone have any knowledge on that subject?? [05:09] rudelerius: what's your lvm prob? [05:10] MasterShrek: It worked! Thank you so much for all your help. :) [05:10] I hate to come here and ask, but. I have nvidia 6800 GTOs (SLI) and ubuntu won't give me graphics from the livecd. [05:10] no prob defyence [05:10] rudelerius: logical volume as in partitioning? [05:10] mightyteegar: I have a 3.5" disk usb [05:10] I can't use CTRL+ALT+L/R to switch between workspaces(shortcuts are set to this) but I can click to other spaces or mouse wheel to them. Anyone know why this is? [05:10] why? shouldn't either the nv or even vesa driver kick in? [05:10] mightyteegar: i installed Fedora 7 on it [05:10] rudelerius: 3.5 floppy? [05:10] can any one help me with my problem?? [05:10] mightyteegar: nope; from my laptop that died [05:10] BernieMac: you using stock ubuntu? [05:11] rudelerius: oh hdd, ok go on [05:11] mightyteegar [05:11] small problem [05:11] mightyteegar: I want to access the Fedora install, but I only see the /boot partition [05:11] nextract: whats up? [05:11] yes, feisty, been a while since I was in ubuntu, currently installing 150 updates... [05:11] mightyteegar: the rest of the install is on a logical volume and I don't know how to mount it [05:11] when i tried to do "debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-generic" [05:11] i get an error [05:11] hello [05:12] gilgad: not partitioning really; need to mount a logical volume on a usb hard drive [05:12] ??\ [05:12] nextract: you need to put the \ at the end of that line [05:12] BernieMac: preferences > keyboard shortcuts have anything? [05:12] ok [05:12] nextract: debconf etc. are packages -- that's one large apt-get install command there [05:12] Hey guys, im packaging the closed source, but free to distribute game, Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory, is there any need to have the game engine and game data in separate packages when they are under the same license? And the included anti-cheat software; punkbuster is forbidden to redistrbute, and such should i remove it from the package? [05:12] rudelerius: sounds ugly [05:12] hello can any one give me a hand here?? [05:12] gilgad: i am taking a class on fedora, I wouldn't use it otherwise [05:13] ok well apparently i had them [05:13] it said 0 install removed and upgraded [05:13] rudelerius: do you have the common lvm tools installed? [05:13] Gilgad: the switch to workspace on left and on right are set to the default ctrl+alt+left/right [05:13] gilgad: and I took the disk on vacation and saved all my photos on the disk; now I want to mount the drive and get the pictures [05:13] worked it out rudelrius - had to edit the sources.list file [05:13] mightyteegar: I did install the lvm2 package and whatever other dep synaptic flagged [05:14] BernieMac: but it doesn't actually do that? and do you have compiz installed? [05:14] one more question - where can you get the latest nvidia drivers for a 8800 gts for ubuntu? [05:14] rudelerius: what does lvscan return [05:14] schone: under Administration>Restricted Drivers [05:15] Gilgad: correct doesn't do that. I installed the Feisty update from Gutsy, there are a lot of compiz updates that I saw that are currently installing. Beyond that I'm not sure [05:15] can some one help me setup animated backrounds in ubuntu gusty 64bit?? tried alot of things and cant get it to work....and im really new to the whole linux thing [05:15] [Gutsy, Gnome] In the main menu, clicking on 'Applications' will open a sub-menu. Is there in it a menu item 'Utilities'? Or what is the English name of it? [05:16] does the built in terminal for ubuntu do ssh? [05:16] Is there a channel related to packaging queries? [05:16] i got someone telling me it doesnt [05:16] mightyteegar: no volume groups found, but when I do fdisk -l, it shows there is a Linux LVM on /dev/sdd2 [05:16] is there a terminal based admin program? [05:16] what version of linux kernel use in gutsy? [05:17] can any help me with the above stated problem?? [05:17] What would the mount command to mount my second hard drive (one big ntfs partition) to /home/josh/data be? [05:17] waz: What do you consider an 'administration program'? [05:17] BernieMac: I'd wait till gusty is fully installed, then see whats up [05:17] rudelerius: before we talk tech -- what exactly are you wanting to accomplish? [05:17] rudelerius: pulling data from fedora? [05:17] vladtzu, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g (for read/write permissions) === mrpockets is now known as MrPockets [05:17] mightyteegar: I want to mount the logical volume from within ubuntu and pull jpegs from the drive [05:18] vladtzu, then: ntfs-3g /dev/xxxx /home/josh/data (replace xxxx with teh device name of the hard drive) [05:18] Thanks MasterShrek [05:18] rudelerius: and delete them from the lvm later? [05:18] Gilgad: I thought it was fully installed but it could be installing compiz now. done in 10 minutes I will let you know if anything changes. Thanks! [05:18] Can NE 1 help me ?? [05:18] mightyteegar: ultimately, yes; it is not important to me that they remain on the usb disk after I pull them down to the ubuntu machine [05:19] arooni: In a terminal, do 'uname -r' [05:19] Trying to get my wireless card working on my dell laptop, can someone help? [05:19] rudelerius: what i'm getting at is it might be easier to boot to fedora and move the jpegs to your ubuntu partition [05:19] mightyteegar: I use the fedora install for a class that I am taking on intro to linux === blackfox_ is now known as blackfox__ [05:19] rudelerius: my experience with lvms is that they can be testy on any system they weren't originally installed on [05:19] bullgard4: something like suse yast [05:20] hello?? [05:20] mightyteegar: understood; unfortunately, I cannot get the fedora system to boot on the machine; bios has not boot from usb device option and setting up the disk as the primary boot disk causes the system to stop in GRUB [05:20] arooni: It's 2.6.22-14-generic [05:20] gorath: explain "animated backgrounds" [05:20] MasterShrek: How would I figure out what the device name of the hard drive is? I would'v eassumed it'd be /dev/hdb, but I don't see hd anything in my /dev folder o.o [05:20] rudelerius: oh. ew. :) hrm [05:20] like setting a screen saver or video as your backround or skydome prefferble both [05:21] i install DirectX but cant find dxdiag.exe.how can i find dxddiag? [05:21] waz: I am not very much familiar with SuSE. I cannot help you finding a Yast equivalent in Ubuntu. [05:21] hi [05:21] mightyteegar: I'm sure I can find another workaround if you think I am unlikely to be successful; I can take the disk to work and boot from the machine there and burn the files to CD; that may be my best option [05:21] how can I make Firefox support Adobe PDF files? [05:21] bullgard4: thanks anyway :) [05:21] waz: no functional equivalent to yast in Ubuntu [05:21] how can I view PDF files in Firefox? [05:21] vladtzu, sudo fdisk -l will give you a list of partitions [05:22] Danke [05:22] rudelerius: can you mount /dev/sdd2 somewhere? [05:22] mightyteegar: I thought I might actually be able to do it from home and mount the logical volume on this machine; would save time and trouble; well, maybe time at lease :) [05:22] lest [05:22] least! [05:22] heh [05:22] where are programs usually installed to? [05:22] mightyteegar: like setting a screen saver or video as your backround or skydome prefferble bot [05:22] theAtom: Please do not try to use Firefox to view PDF files. There are other tools better suited. [05:22] /usr/bin? [05:23] echosystm, depends on the program [05:23] bullgard4, how do I view pdf files from firefox webpage? [05:23] gorath: ok, can't help you there, sry [05:23] echosystm, if you are looking for one: whereis [05:23] im compiling glest (a game) [05:23] mightyteegar: you know, I haven't tried yet; I was freaked out that I could not find any logical volume or group [05:23] it's asking me where to put it [05:23] pdfviewer should prompt u to open it automatically [05:23] where should i tell it to install to? [05:23] just download it to your desktop and double click [05:23] MasterShrek: You are both a gentelman and a scholar, it worked. XD [05:23] theAtom: I do notunderstand you well: What is a 'Firefox webpage'? [05:23] hello [05:23] echosystm, /opt is a good place for things you compile [05:23] Does anyone know what's happening when I type $cat /dev/input/event1 ? When I press keys on my keyboard, I see output; but it's all garbled. What IS that, and how do I use it in a script? I'm actually trying to get a remote that came with my computer to work. I can see it's sending signals to 'event3', but I don't know how to take that information and put it to use... [05:23] anyone here have experience getting sshd working? [05:24] rudelerius: try that and see if you can use your lvm tools to mount and recover [05:24] good news vladtzu :) [05:24] bullgard4, go away! you are trolling and wasting my time [05:24] thanks [05:24] firefox webpage is just reffering to a website.. like www.google.com/index.html [05:24] yup [05:24] jscinoz: maybe you could try the forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=44 [05:24] mightyteegar: mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt results in the following error- mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [05:24] mightyteegar: im lookin to set it up something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2HUgpMZiA tryed some tutorials on line no lucky ne suggestions [05:25] Hello, I'm trying to get the wireless working on my dell laptop, can someone help?

[05:55] well i run kde on my laptop, but my headless server has an invisible head which is fluxbox =P [05:55] Sefram, you normally dont enable both Xinerams and Twinview. [05:55] btw, so what apt-get remove do? is that just delete the package? but i'm curious when i did apt-get install wine, the installation so fast.. i think ubuntu save it somewhere.. [05:55] ok [05:56] CyberMad, it saves the actual pacakage i think, apt-get remove will remove the binaries, and docs and stuff, purge will remove all configuration files too [05:56] CyberMad- i was wondering about that too. been trying to figure out where it stores the install files.. because it doesnt take 2 seconds to download 60 mb [05:56] CyberMad: it "uninstalls" [05:56] Dr_willis: wich one it the better choice? I remember a TwinView setup working, but i lost my xorg.conf (head crash grrr..)... [05:56] /var/apt/cache or something [05:56] is this bad to see on gutsy: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root src 21 2007-12-05 21:05 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.23 [05:57] ty master =] [05:57] from /usr/src [05:57] how do you find out the mac address of an ubuntu machine?

[05:57] MasterShrek, i thought it was going to screw thigns up [05:57] vee_: open up a terminal, type ifconfig [05:57] vee_: ifconfig [05:57] it should be in there [05:57] vee_ iwconfig i believe [05:57] arooni, it shouldnt [05:57] i lose [05:57] vee_: ifconfig -a [05:57] Hi [05:58] MasterShrek so, apt-get install wine... will save the package to /var/apt/cache, then do apt-get remove wine just uninstall the program, but not delete the config and cache files,.. for complete removal / uninstallation apt-get purge wine, correct? :) thanks all guru! [05:58] cool then ill choose twinview. Is Xinerame for the nv driver poeple? [05:58] MasterShrek, is there a way to make sure the kernel is happy and installed & such ... without restarting and seeing if it fails (i hate checking this way) [05:58] Anyone willing to try to help me with a graphics driver issue? [05:58] bullgard4, allnightarockin i uused ifconfig [05:58] soudns right CyberMad, i dont know if purge will remove the saved package in cache, but apt-get clean will remove all the cached packages [05:59] arooni, well, did you install a new kernel? [05:59] Anyone? [05:59] bullgard4, allnightarockin whats the diff. between ifconfig and iwconfig?? [05:59] arooni, did you copy a kernel image and run a make_modules ?

[06:00] i mean make xconfig [06:00] or SysTrace? [06:00] Pandemic: what is the issue? [06:00] sorry Pandemic, i havent any experience with intel gfx cards, but im sure the forums have some useful info for you if you feel like doing a searcj [06:00] search* [06:00] !forums [06:00] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [06:00] bullgard4, allnightarockin is HWaddr the MAC address?

[06:01] Last week i sent a letter to microsoft saying i had a problem with windows xp and the people at Ubuntu Forums and the IRC were able to help me solve my problem quicker then the Microsoft support team.. it was pretty epic [06:01] English help wanted: In the main GNOME panel menu, clicking on 'Applications' will open a sub-menu. Is there in it a menu item 'Utilities'? Or what is the English name of it? [06:01] arooni, you can run that, make bzImage and make modules and still have no problems, after that youll start doing things that can potentially bork your system [06:01] OMGWTFBBQ! Msoft couldn't help? [06:01] Lol [06:02] windows is corrupt [06:02] MasterShrek, this is the other command i ran rm -rf linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.23 linux && cd /usr/src/linux [06:02] missing 2303098327549825.dll [06:02] Can't believe that. [06:02] arooni, that wont matter either, those are just source files [06:02] =] [06:02] bullgard4: what are some of the things in it? [06:02] MasterShrek, ok good... sounds like i'm OK [06:02] arooni, as long as you didnt mess with anything in /boot or /lib/modules youll be fine [06:02] no didnt [06:02] or /etc/init.d [06:02] youll be just fine :) [06:03] anyone know of a source code generating utility? preferably command line. I'm thinking similar to gnome's template files but more flexible (might contain variables for text replacement and such) [06:03] Pandemic: you still haven't asked an actual question :) [06:03] Yeah it was like a 3 page letter lol. Talking about everything i hate in microsoft/issues with it.. such as internet explorer being integrated into the core of the system [06:03] FluxD what does the "-a" part mean? [06:03] Ademan... im not sure. but i think GCC ???? someone clerify [06:03] Oh, well sorry, MasterShrek said he didn't have any experience with Intel cards, and no one else seemed to be interested in helping me. [06:03] vee_: I thought it did something but it seems to be same as ifconfig [06:03] In any case, my graphics driver won't load. [06:03] allnightarockin: not quite what i'm looking for but thanks [06:03] vee_, it means to list all the interfaces, whether they are enabled [06:04] or not [06:04] I should also mention that I'm using Mint 4.0, not Ubuntu. [06:04] FluxD yea, i didnt see a difference [06:04] Pandemic: pay better attention to your highlights :) [06:04] up or down, w/e [06:04] ademan yeah i misread it.. then was like wow i look like an idiot lol [06:04] FluxD good to know [06:04] haha don't worry about it [06:04] vee_, if you had a network interface down, ifconfig wouldnt show it, but ifconfig -a would [06:04] crdlb: Sorry, I'm also a bit of an IRC noob. [06:04] vee_: it does something check manpage [06:04] Pandemic, how do you like it? [06:04] FluxD, if you had a network interface down, ifconfig wouldnt show it, but ifconfig -a would [06:04] -a display all interfaces which are currently available, even if [06:04] down [06:05] robc4: Mint, I presume?

[06:25] Local Area Connection Or whatever connection is connected to the internet needs to have sharing enabled [06:25] thor: my Home PC and the only one [06:25] threefcata ^ [06:25] :) [06:25] vee_ here is a user manual: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.53b/htmldoc/ [06:26] rxndx where i go from hear is a mystery.... [06:26] Hi all, quick question: where does CUPS get it's login credentials when printing to an SMB printer share? It's not working for me and I suspect it's an authentication issue based on the errors in cups' logs. [06:26] arnuld-> man lppasswd [06:26] rxndx thanx [06:26] arnuld did you try using your username and password instead of 'root'? [06:26] vee_ you're very welcome ;) [06:26] bulmer: is there an lppasswd in ubuntu? My ubuntu box is offline right now and I am looking at a suse install [06:26] :) [06:26] what is a good program for converting .avi to dvd on ubuntu? [06:27] thor-> should be same in SuSE [06:27] thor: I tried both root and myself but no luck [06:27] robert: devede is what I use [06:27] i need help installing telnet server, i don't have "inetd" and i though i needed that service for enabling telnet, but not sure, instead i have inetutils-inetd not sure if it is the same thing [06:27] bulmer: I don't recall doing anything like that...must have been done in the install [06:27] ok, thanks man! [06:27] bulmer: might be a difference since suse defines 'root' in the install [06:28] arnuld: try entering a passwd using lppasswd [06:28] thor-> lppasswd is only for CUPS === amidanie1|away is now known as amidaniel|away [06:28] allnightarockin: i did it, now my local area connection have ICS enabled, but i doubt i have to add something like gateway or dns on my ubuntu, i don't if that's needed coz i read something like when you have ICS enabled DHCP is also enabled but i don't get DHCP, so i manually configure things except gateway and dns [06:28] robert: when I use it I have to mess with the interlace options in the gui so it looks good [06:28] niuq: install the package telnetd; that is a telnet server [06:28] thor: user -> "root" & passwd -> "lppasswd" [06:28] thor: ? [06:28] How can I list available computers on the workgroup in samba using the commandline? [06:29] ianmcorvidae: already did [06:29] arnuld: that should work [06:29] threefcata yeah if what you just said doesnt work just change it to automatic dchp configuration? [06:29] arnuld: check 'man lppasswd'...always a good idea before using a new command [06:29] threefcata i would think atleast [06:30] firefly2442-> i believe samba commands starts with smb...so type smb and press tab twice to see all smb related commands [06:30] thor: MAN page says, lppasswd ADDS, CHANGES or DELETES the password in CUPS digest file :( [06:30] firefly2442-> if not, windows uses "net use xxx" command style [06:31] thor: DIGEST usernames do not have to match the local UNIX usernames [06:31] thor: what that means ? [06:31] thor: let me try printer 1st [06:31] bulmer: the weird thing is I can ping the remote machine but I can't connect to it [06:32] I checked the workgroup in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and it checks out [06:32] arnuld: you can create users for cups that don't exist in linux...only in cups [06:32] allnightarockin: very true. and Network Manager is causing confusion as well, it is said now NM only manages those interfaces marked with auto or not appear in /etc/network/interfaces but i have all my interfaces in that file both marked auto AND manually configured..I the roaming mode of those interfaces are confusing as well.. [06:32] allnightarockin:i 'm running feisty [06:32] firefly2442-> you need to get authenticated on a domain to make a complete connection [06:33] thor: that "lppasswd" thing does not work >:-D [06:33] how do I tell if I used the right install disc (e.g. amd64 vs i386) the box has amd64 and I can't remember which disc I used. [06:33] threefcata: I really am not sure what u mean.. i would suggest starting a thread if the problem proceeds? [06:34] arnuld 'lppasswd -a root' and enter the root password when prompted [06:34] bulmer: do you know if there is a way to manually specify the IP address of the domain computer? (windows box) [06:34] allnightarockin: yeah, maybe.. we'll see... [06:35] is there a defragmenter for ubuntu 7.1? [06:35] firefly2442-> yeah type the numerics [06:35] MetalGear247 the linux file system does not require defragmenting [06:35] do u minde explaining why that the case? [06:35] that doesnt make sense [06:36] bulmer: sorry, I'm confused, can you be more specific? [06:37] thor: sorry, password rejected, it must be 6 characters long,, WTF, my root passwrd is 5 chars, then so WHAT ? [06:37] does anybody know if theres a GUI program for making iso's out of discs?? [06:37] firefly2442-> im confused too, what command are you referring to? [06:37] darkentity: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso [06:37] ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build avant-panel-menu [06:37] were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden [06:37] macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your [06:37] ACLOCAL_FLAGS? [06:37] darkentity: simple as that, why need a GUI [06:37] MetalGear: linux defrags itself automatically [06:37] any idea what this is about? [06:38] arnuld then use a longer password...it doesn't have to be the same one in both places you can use a different password [06:38] bulmer: well, if I need to add the domain computer, can I specify it with an IP address? it doesn't seem to be finding it automatically [06:38] darkentity just about any gui burning app can make an iso [06:38] Is there a program to view .chm files? [06:38] i see... arnuld does that work with dvds too? [06:38] Agent_bob: darkentity can even use "mkisofs" [06:38] darkentity: sure [06:39] arnuld he did specify GUI tho [06:39] ok thanks guys [06:39] hello [06:39] ima try it out [06:39] anyone?\ [06:39] firefly2442-> what is the command you are using? [06:39] Agent_bob: well, I do not see any usefull of GUI specific to this ISO making [06:39] I am facing some problems connecting to the Internet on my wireless adapter Broadcom 4328, help anyone [06:39] k3b burn progarm [06:40] i agree, i just try to give what they ask for arnuld [06:40] I was using smbtree -S and this lists the computers, I have one machine working and another one doesn't work [06:40] definitely dd is the way to do that. [06:40] Agent_bob: yes and I prefer to give solid thiings, GUIs are never good at error reporting. in the end you need to read"/var/log/" directory ;-) [06:40] agent bob...what specific program do u know of that makes iso? do u think the regular dvd/cd writer on ubuntu has that option [06:41] the commnad works arnuld thanks [06:41] darkentity xcdroast k3b gnometoaster and others i'm sure. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:41] darkentity: try to search/hang-on Gentoo forums for immense amount of knowledge :) [06:42] thanks guys [06:42] darkentity: I will leave now [06:42] ok gnite [06:42] thor: thanks [06:42] darkentity clone copy and make iso only with any GUI app. but dd is the bottom line on coping disks [06:42] * arnuld thanks Thoro [06:42] for his help [06:43] arnuld: did you get it all to work> [06:43] thor: nope :( [06:43] arnuld: did you get the lppasswd defined? [06:43] Agent_bob: as I said, for files on HDD he could use mkisofs [06:44] thor: yes, i did set a passwd, but then what to do next ? [06:44] arnuld and as i said yep return 0 [06:44] arnuld now go back to cups (localhost:631) and when it asks for username/password use 'root' and the password you defined with lppasswd [06:45] Ubuntu has been hanging a lot lately; hanging to the point I have to restart the entire computer. When it's happened, the only applications open (other than normal GNOME stuff) were Firefox and GNOME Terminal. Is there any way to tell whether the hangs were caused by Firefox or by the Ubuntu base system? [06:45] i got disconnected [06:45] when I installed I did not give any room for swap - is that ok or should reinstall? I have 4 gbs of RAM [06:45] Help with wlan problem anyone? [06:46] vasuvi: your best bet would be to start firefox and terminal each in a terminal, that way any errors should show up in the terminal where you started the app [06:46] vasuvi it happens to me quite often now, because of i/o ..wireless hangs [06:46] thor: it does NOT work >:\ [06:46] Agent_bob: return EXIT_SUCCESS :P [06:46] vasuvi: It depends ... what exactly do you mean by hanging ? No response from any part of the system ? Could you access a TTY by pressing Alt-F1 ? [06:46] thor: opening it in a terminal wouldn't help much with a hang ;) I can move the mouse, but nothing else is responsive [06:47] vasuvi, but if you have the terminal open in a corner, you would still be able to read it even if you couldn't click on it or anyhthing [06:47] dadehoog: first thing I tried; no go. though strangely, the Alt-Sysreq-RSEIUB method of rebooting works fine [06:47] vasuvi maybe alt+sysRQ+r then alt+sysRQ+e if that responds it's an app if not it's kernel level i/o maybe. [06:47] vasuvi: it would only be a way to possibly see an error indication for the hangup [06:47] thor: that's a possibility, at least if stuff really is responding, though at this point I'd doubt it [06:47] i need help enabling telnet server [06:47] vasuvi: indeed ... anything in X.logs ? [06:47] niuq: you better use SSH than telnet. [06:47] niuq: are you sure that you want to enable telnet ? What about SSH instead ? [06:48] vasuvi note that will kill everything. so probably ctrl+alt+del for a restart afterwards. [06:48] vasuvi i can emphatize with you, i have been experiencing this i/o hanging lately after an upgrade [06:48] niuq: Telnet send its username-paswd information all over the internet [06:48] dadehoog: it's just for a lab [06:48] Agent_bob that is I think the FIRST reference to the sysreq key that Ihave seen since the 70's [06:48] dadehoog: that's the odd part; I'd been getting weird stuff from Sidux, and the X logs were indeed screwy. Here, the X logs look just fine [06:48] arnuld: i'm not going to send it over internet, just will work on a lan [06:48] Sidux ? [06:48] dadehoog: (using proprietary nVidia drivers if that makes any difference) [06:49] hi everyone I finally got Ubuntu Installed. Now when my system boots up I see all the info of booting by changing to terminal interface 7. How come is this info not saved into a log file ? [06:49] niuq: then it will send the information over to every user on LAN. doyou want that ? [06:49] niuq why not use ssh ? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:49] do you need swap at all? [06:49] niuq: use SSH, the OpenBSD Secure Shell [06:49] dadehoog: a distrobution that pretty closely follows Debian Sid, and tries to "sanitize" it somewhat ;http://sidux.com/index.html [06:49] arnuld: yes it's not an issue, it's just for a lab [06:49] vasuvi: I've been getting similar lock-ups - but I don't know what's causing them ... [06:49] vee for hybernate only [06:49] niuq: I was juts trying to teach some good UNIX habits :) [06:49] Agent_bob: because it's for a lab, and the lab just request to enable telnet [06:49] dadehoog: and started just recently for you too? [06:49] I'm using the open source ATI drivers (radeon) [06:50] I only installed Gutsy three days ago ... [06:50] niuq ok. [06:50] dadehoog: so that means video drivers probably aren't the culprit here like on Sidux [06:50] but I've never has similar issues before [06:50] very odd [06:50] Agent_bob errr.... in didnt set up my machine with any... should reinstall? how much do you need? [06:50] and me neither === Un|Ko is now known as OzRiC [06:50] I will leave [06:50] now [06:50] niuq install telnetd - The telnet server should enable it [06:50] dadehoog: do you also use Firefox, and with lots of extensions? [06:50] arnuld: i appreciate it [06:50] * arnuld says final thanks thor [06:51] Agent_bob: already did, didn't work [06:51] vasuvi: I use firefox, but I've not enabled anything that isn't in the standard Ubuntu install [06:51] do I need to install bootlog daemon to get boot logs ??? [06:51] dadehoog: so it's probably not an extension thing [06:51] niuq i'v never used telnetd but the man page should be forth comming on howto [06:52] niuq-> you can use nc to create a temporary listening server..i forget the options how to do it though [06:52] niuq: Indeed, you'll probably want to configure xinetd to handle incoming telnet traffic ... [06:52] Agent_bob how much do you need? [06:52] dadehoog: I think we've narrowed it down to being either the vanilla Firefox running into an infinite loop or something, or something in the Ubuntu base system. Hopefully the former as it *should* be easier to find and fix. [06:53] im having troubles with "ccsm" could somebody help me? [06:53] vasuvi: I've had crashes where firefox _isn't_ running ... [06:53] dadehoog: I think we've narrowed it down to being either the vanilla Firefox running into an infinite loop or something, or something in the Ubuntu base system. Hopefully the former as it *should* be easier to find and fix. [06:53] dadhoog: ok that's a start point [06:53] vee_ ram size plus one [06:53] sorry for repeat [06:53] bulmer: what nc stands for? [06:53] dadehoog: so then it's probably in the Ubuntu base system, ugh [06:53] niuq: netcat [06:53] niuq netcat [06:53] vee_ it writes the entire ram to disk if i understand it correctly [06:53] vasuvi: Indeed ... likely the snazzy 3d graphics special effects stuff ... [06:54] Agent_bob i have 4gigs. do i make it 8gigs? [06:54] vee_ no. 4.1g [06:54] dadehoog: hmm; that would be easy enough to test by simply disabling Compiz. that's not a bad idea [06:54] bulmer: i'll try the man page for netcat [06:54] Agent_bob hehehe, thanx... do I have to write that in mb when it asks? [06:55] i need to quickly run a dhcp server. im on dapper. what do I do? [06:55] dadehoog: any other hardware similarities between us? P35 motherboard with AHCI hard drives and an Audigy 2 ZS here. [06:55] dadehoog: should i have a telnet package over xineted directory, shouldn't i? [06:55] vee_ i've not used the new installer but with the older ones no. [06:55] dadehoog: xinetd** [06:55] Hello, it's been forever and a half since I've installed ubuntu. And I'm not exactly that great with computers. I'm setting up ubuntu 7.10 desktop version and I'm creating a partition now, I'm using 150 GB of my 300 HD, but I was wondering What type of partiton should it be, primary, or logical, should it be located at the beginning or end. And what should I use it as. Ext3? [06:55] IBM Thinkpad T42 (Intel-based Centrino system) [06:55] Agent_bob i can just write 4.1gb [06:56] vee_ it will be in gparted at the time and if you have ever used that you can anticipate what to expect [06:56] niuq: SOry ? [06:56] *Sorry ? [06:56] ubuntu is cool and everything but it needs some major development. im glad they finally fixed the limewire problem i could play the files right off limewire [06:56] Agent_bob thanx [06:56] vee_ yes or just use the slider until the size is right [06:56] but the videos are another story they skip when i fast foward [06:56] dadehoog: i though i had to configure a file called telnet, just like in red hat [06:56] vee_ welcome [06:56] some vidoes dont even show the sliders properly they just stay in one place [06:57] Darius08x: You'll need two partitions (one swap and one /) Both can be primary partitions [06:57] dadehoog: or for a more complete listing: http://www.pastebin.ca/807111 [06:57] Agent_bob good stuff... i am going to reinstall tomorrow. for a second HD should i have it mount point in /media or /mnt? [06:57] the swap partition needs to be swap, and the / mounted partition can be ext2 or ext3, I'd recommend ext3 [06:57] dadehoog need ? it's reccomended. [06:57] Darius08x: Yes make the format ext3, or FAT32 if you choose, as far as location of partition, I'm not sure if it matters, someone else will have to answer that... [06:58] dadehoog: so probably not too many similarities... [06:58] dadehoog: that would at least tend to rule out hardware (I think) [06:58] Agent_bob: Indeed ..? I'm obviously behind the times ! [06:58] but i hoep in due time they fix that problem. its still great program...plus i wish they could include all those porgrams to customize the gdm, splash and mouse cursor themes. [06:58] vasuvi: It's got to be software-related ... and in a common package ... [06:58] Haha, I think I've only confused myself further by asking that question. [06:58] vasuvi: are you using 3d acceleration ? [06:59] So I should just make on, 150 GB, have it used as "swap" and then hit ok [06:59] vasuvi: and have you enabled compiz / special effects etc ? [06:59] dadehoog: i think it did not make any sense [06:59] dadehoog: yup. (Centrino implies Dothan, right?) [06:59] then make another one (how big?) and make it / ? [06:59] Darius08x: the Ubuntu installer should come with a partitioner which knows what to do [06:59] dadehoog: indeed; I have Compiz on [06:59] vee_ you can mount any fs just about anywhere, there are limitations such as using non-linux fs's in critical places / for example. wont work but if you are talking about storage media /mnt or /media or /home/your.name/storage or what ever. [06:59] vasuvi: my CPU is pre-Dothan, but still Centrino [06:59] Darius08x give serious consideration to three partitions...one for /, one for /home, and one for swap [07:00] Darius08x: sounds like I'm behind the times ... perhaps Agent_bob could point you to the current install docs ? [07:00] dadehoog: ok, so definitely no similarities there (a late Centrino 2 Duo could theoretically be the mobile eqiuivelent of P35-based) [07:00] dadehoog: ok, so disabling Compiz now; we'll see how that works [07:00] Darius08x with that kind of disk space I would leave 15-20G for /, maybe 2G for swap (2x ram) and the rest for /home [07:00] Agent_bob i want the second HD to be able to be shared by all users [07:01] dadehoog: though if it really is Compiz, I'm surprised everybody else isn't also running into these problems [07:01] dadehoog: mmm not sure what's happening, maybe you can help me installing ssh [07:01] the old "swap needs to be 2X your ram" should have died long ago when ram went above 16m [07:02] vee_ /mnt is a good place for that. [07:02] I think this comes with a guided install thing, that automatically does this for me. If I use that, and choose to install windows later (to dual boot) Will I be SOL, or will I still be able to do it? [07:02] I leave a gig for shits a giggles thats about it depending on the amount of ram [07:02] Agent_bob thanx again [07:02] excuse me, i just installed ubuntu gibbon, however i dont seem to have spticya [07:02] vee_ so is /media/ [07:02] synaptic [07:02] when i click on synaptic from system-admin [07:02] nothin comes up [07:02] but if you are running something like jedit.... lol [07:03] Darius08x, typically you want to install windows first(or so the story goes), something to do with the GRUB loader I believe. this is the way I did it and no problems... [07:03] Agent_bob currently its in media.... just didnt know if there was an advantage to it or it wAs merely cosmetic [07:03] vee_ cosmetic [07:03] sudo apt-get upgrade doenst seem to work either [07:03] Darius08x BernieMac is correct...you need to install windows first [07:03] Agent_bob thanx [07:03] glick: in a terminal type - sudo apt-get install synaptic [07:03] vee_ welcome [07:03] Ok, well, I was here last night with all tons of problems. I had windows installed, and it had been giving me random missingsystem32 file errors. [07:04] So I went to install ubuntu, only to get a dead device error or something like that. [07:04] vasuvi: ah joy ... that was one of those random lockups that we're discussing ! [07:04] Then i got GRUB 17 and 18 errors [07:04] nothing happens when i type that [07:04] Darius08x sounds like there is something else going on not related to either...maybe a hw problem? [07:04] then the partitioner couldn't locate any discs or what not. [07:04] dadehoog: ouch, that sucks [07:04] Neither could Windows. [07:04] Hi [07:05] did the install b0rk? [07:05] do i need to log out and log back in? [07:05] all I did was move from one screen to the other ... [07:05] I would like to ask an admin a question [07:05] dadehoog: if you didn't get it before it locked up, I said that I disabled Compiz and will see if the lockups stop [07:05] A friend of mine suggested I run something call Dban overnight (which I think just ultra-formatted my HDD) and it may detect it again [07:05] Darius08x what you are describing sounds like loose connection on either the ide or power cable to the drive [07:05] Which it is now. [07:05] AMedic: go ahead they are near [07:05] Ok [07:05] I took apart the case and checked all cables Bob. :/ [07:06] glick: I saw something about this earlier - brb [07:06] Darius08x that's still what it sounds like. [07:06] Hmm. [07:06] Darius08x: did you check all jumpers if ide drives. [07:06] bye all::: [07:06] hmm :( [07:07] Also, to let you all know, I'm in above me head here. I have no idea what you just said Jack. : D [07:07] Howdy! Anyone has some help for this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632957 [07:07] Darius08x: do you have ide or sata drives.. ide big ribbon cable plus power cable [07:07] Sata [07:07] dadehoog: running any taskbar applets? I have sensors-applet, timer-applet, and Tomboy running [07:07] Darius08x: ok, so no jumpers [07:08] dadehoog: (just trying to think if any non-default programs may be causing this) [07:08] vasuvi: system-monitor ... but only so that I can verify when it's locked up, and when it hasn't ! [07:08] vasuvi: it was definitely locking up _before_ that applet was added. [07:08] glick: type - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptic - and see what happens [07:08] dadehoog: ok, so that eliminates that at least :) [07:08] compiz or network-manager are my two top tips ... [07:09] Darius08x on some hard drives there are "jumpers" that allow you to select whether it will be listed as "master" or "slave" as well as some times other settings. he sujested that you check those too, i.e. if an hd is set to master and on the same cable a cd/dvd drove is set to master then you have problems. [07:09] dadehoog: (and I don't have system-monitor running anyway) [07:09] qwerty121, no idea! might want to try the #Ubuntu-effects chat(or another chat) for that... [07:09] ere4si: when i type that nothing happens i just get the prompt right back [07:09] dadehoog: so indeed, lower-level GNOME stuff and Compiz seem to be the only things left [07:09] Ok, and I'd check that out in the BIOS I'm assuming. I'm currently installing windows like you suggested, so I guess I'll wait for that. [07:10] can i use mouse gesture to switch desktop? [07:10] maybe i should restart? [07:10] BernieMac: it's driving me nuts. Can't maximize anything [07:10] Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll be back asking questions again in no time. [07:10] brb let me try and restart [07:10] dadehoog: (well, theoretically MySQL or Python, but those seem exceedingly unlikely) [07:10] Darius08x no. they are phisical "jumpers" on the device. [07:10] glick: k - still searching for that article [07:10] qwerty121, I can imagine, that would be rather frustrating [07:10] mornin` all [07:11] Oh. [07:11] BernieMac: The room you gave me is for compiz. But it's not bcoz of compiz [07:11] BernieMac: i dont use compiz [07:11] vasuvi: I'm also running MySQL ... [07:11] Darius08x small dubble contact plugs that slip over two small pins and thereby "jump" the two togather. [07:11] dadehoog: hmm; if it still locks up now that I've disabled Compiz, that sounds like a good next thing to try then [07:11] Ok, I understand now. [07:11] Darius08x the info is almost always printed on the drive it's self [07:12] qwerty121, I apologize, I thought maybe the guys in there would be able to help out more [07:12] dadehoog: (disabling MySQL that is) [07:12] does anyone know how to fix apt-get's version of php5-cli so that it supports readline()? [07:12] vasuvi: syslog is blank for the last crash ... Dec 6 15:39:11 queeg ntpd[5496]: Listening on interface #5 eth1, 192.168.0.3#123 Enabled [07:12] Dec 6 16:01:34 queeg syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart. [07:12] BernieMac: is there any way out to access all the desktop elements? [07:13] hi [07:13] !hi | Ein_ [07:13] Ein_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:13] Darius08x but in my openion, and that's all it is, so take it with a grain of salt; the things you described do sound like it will be an acutal hardware issue. i.e. loose/dirty cable most likely bad drive possably [07:13] qwerty121, I'm not sure. this is my first time back in Ubuntu in probably 3 months, not that I was an expert before by any means!! [07:13] my I ask? [07:13] What do I do with a .tar.bz2? [07:14] dadehoog: not seeing anything weird in my syslog either [07:14] anybody know how i can download maps into warcraft 3 and wine? [07:14] BernieMac: Ok, NP. [07:14] mikebot: it's a compressed archive ... you should be able to unpack it with file-roller ... [07:14] Darius08x, I would have to agree with Agent_bob, sounds like more of a hardware issue than anything else... [07:14] dadehoog: Does fileroller come pre-installed? [07:14] how I can run as admin root at terminal? [07:14] hi all, could someone recommend me a good tv program to please? [07:14] sudo -s [07:14] glick does typing - man apt - get a response? [07:14] you just don't have windows and linux both failing on one drive, and probono dismiss the hardware as good. [07:15] I'm taking it to a local computer shop to have it tested tomorrow. [07:15] mikebot: Open up a nautilus window and browse to the file's location, then right-click on it ... you should get the option to extract it [07:15] So I guess they'd be able to tell me for sure. [07:15] depends on how good they are. or how greedy [07:15] how do i mount a USB Flash drive? [07:15] hey can any of you guys watch this video i made? And yes im the girl [07:15] http://youtube.com/watch?v=eXdkyAyOcGo [07:16] could someone recommend me a good tv software please? [07:16] dadehoog: Thanks. [07:16] tv software? [07:16] joost? [07:16] Heh, oh boy. [07:16] * Agent_bob works on computers so he doesn't trust computer shops [07:16] mikebot: no worries [07:16] is a tv software for ubuntu? [07:16] yeah [07:16] Ein_: type "sudo -i", give your password [07:16] Hopefully they won't be. I think it's some nice old guy. Hopefully he won't be greedy [07:16] i have tv card [07:16] but i need the software [07:16] duno about that [07:17] Darius08x good luck with it. [07:17] dadehoog: It's all source code.. how do I compile it? [07:17] mythtv [07:17] anybody know how to download and play maps on warcraft 3? === Nematocyst_ is now known as Nematocyst [07:17] vasuvi: nothing in gdm logs either [07:17] THank you. [07:17] dadehoog: ditto [07:18] Mikebot: that's not a straightforward question ... what are you planning to compile ? [07:18] does anyone know have the annoying message of 'error gnome_screensaver_control( )' pop up when using gmplayer besides me? anyone know howto get rid of it? [07:18] thanks jack_sparrow [07:18] Hello I have another question... [07:19] anyone know how to disable pointing stick on dell c610? [07:19] np.. hope it works with your card [07:19] eek i'm not a gnome user but will turning off the screen saver not work ? [07:19] ztomic: Pointing stick? I have two C610's dont know what that is [07:19] hardware/software solutions welcome. [07:20] vasuvi: it's obviously NOT being logged anywhere ... so it's not an error that's using the standard error reporting .. [07:20] Jack_Sparrow: the blue button [07:20] Has anyone ever heard of an IP being unreachable for no apparent reason? [07:20] purple [07:20] im not using gnome either, hate to turn off my screensaver though ;/ [07:20] dadehoog: correct; I'm thinking (though not sure by any means) that it's some kind of infinite loop, though it has to be something that can bog down all cores (dual-core system here) [07:20] i.e., I can't reach linuxmint.com for some reason. [07:20] mikebot left the room alreay [07:21] already [07:21] ztomic: Duh.. sorry.. never knew the name of it. [07:21] ztomic: Cant it be turned off in the bios someplces [07:21] place [07:21] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in dialog that opens by selecting GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? [07:21] eek ah that might be the cause, it may be looking for the gnome screen saver control "thus the message" ... [07:21] Jack_Sparrow: my mouse goes wild... need a new keyboard i guess [07:21] Jack_Sparrow: nope [07:22] ztomic: easy enough to replace [07:22] Agent_bob, looks like ubuntu's mplayer has that compiled into it somehow [07:22] Jack_Sparrow: yeah but i never use it so i wish there was a software solution like in windows. [07:22] how to add some microsoft windows font on ubuntu? [07:22] what is apport exactly, and how does it relate to firefox ? I've had that max out my memory and CPU once ... [07:23] Pandemic i can pint linuxmint.com [07:23] can somebody help with dpkg deb file install howt0 [07:23] ping [07:23] hello [07:23] Jack_Sparrow: you don't have problems with your's? [07:23] ztomic: Since Dell and MS sleep together I would not hold out hope for a fix going back to that hardware. [07:23] yes [07:23] whys ftp so slow on ubuntu? [07:23] i have a deb file to install [07:23] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu is on dell now... where have you been? [07:23] ztomic: Never had any issues that I noticed. [07:23] Pandemic i didn't try to navigate there tho. can you ping it ? [07:23] Jack_Sparrow: would it not be possible to disable one or more buttons in the xorg config ? [07:24] howt0? [07:24] card of tv not install [07:24] deb file insall howt0?? [07:24] ztomic: I am aware... that they have Ubuntu now.. then they didnt.. and MS will still have an inside track on a lot of that hardware [07:24] jariep1_: Why do you have a .deb to install ? Isn't it available in one of the Ubuntu repositories ? [07:24] jariep1: in your menu should be gdebi package installer [07:25] jariep1_ sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb if you must [07:25] dadehoog: that would also kill the real mouse.. I dont see that ubuntu differentiates the two [07:25] thk u [07:25] Jack_Sparrow: MS is everywhere [07:25] dadehoog it java sun microsytem [07:25] Jack_Sparrow, I would have to agree, dell and MS have a much more intimate relationship [07:25] !vmware [07:25] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [07:25] goodnight guys.. [07:25] someone knows a good ftp software? [07:26] Jack_Sparrow: I can set options (eg. scrolling etc.) on my synaptics trackpoint/touchpad in xorg ... [07:26] kazil: gftp [07:26] Agent_bob: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your question. [07:26] !ftp > kazil [07:26] kazil: or filezilla [07:26] dadehoog java instll as deb [07:26] client or server? [07:27] kazil: ? [07:27] Pandemic was just trying to help you sort out the "site unreachable" issue that was you wasn't it ? [07:27] client [07:27] zilla [07:27] Agent_bob: Yes. It is. But I can't reach the site. [07:27] !virtualizers [07:27] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [07:27] Agent_bob: But I know that the site is up and running. [07:28] >.< [07:28] !VirtuaBox [07:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about virtuabox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:28] Pandemic open a terminal and see if you can ping it it might show some usable information if you can't. [07:28] Oh. [07:28] !VirtualBox [07:28] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [07:28] !pastebin [07:28] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:29] filezilla looks promising :) [07:29] the smallest twist on this laptop causes the mouse to go wild. disabling the pointing stick in windows solves the problem but I havent found a way to do that in linux. [07:29] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? [07:30] kazil looked at gentoo ? [07:30] no [07:30] anybody have warcraft 3 installed? [07:30] Agent_bob: Yeah, I received no packets back. [07:30] i tried gFTP but its very slow [07:30] gentoo does ftp [07:30] kazil: yup... filezilla looks nice... but I must admit, i've gotten very used to gftp, and it's actually a great little app, you can edit your files directly on the ftp and such, which I never managed to do with filezilla [07:30] 79 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 78018ms [07:30] Pandemic no glaring error messages huh ? [07:31] Nope. [07:31] Pandemic: It resolved the name to an IP though ? [07:31] billy: wine? [07:31] dadehoog: Well yes, although I didn't receive any packets back. [07:31] yeah on wine [07:31] dadehoog take over that one with Pandemic i'm pretty green on network issues. [07:31] WinterWeaver: my problem with gFTP is that its very slow... and its not for the connection. i used WinSCP under XP and its like 4 times faster [07:32] Pandemic: are there any other sites where you have a similar issue ? [07:32] mneptok, just like to ask, what's the advantage of bittornado over other clients? [07:32] I can't use CTRL+ALT+left/right arrow to switch between workspaces(shortcuts are set to this) but I can click to other spaces or mouse wheel to them. Anyone know why this is? [07:32] BernieMac: Have a check of your System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts [07:32] billy: I think i saw it in the appdb. have you tried running it in desktop or have you looked in #wine? [07:32] BernieMac: They may have been re-assigned ..? [07:33] Yes dadehoog, I know offhand that the same happens with ultimate-guitar.com [07:33] dadehoog, checked them, set to ctl+alt+left/right [07:33] dadehoog: But that's the only other one I know of. [07:33] BernieMac and even if they look right maybe reset them manually the keyboard may be sending something unexpected [07:33] Pandemic: what are you using to configure your network ? network-manager ? [07:34] kazil, have you checked the protocol that ur using? not sure but it could be the reason. I've not had slow gftp speeds,... yet lol... neway, if ur happy with filezilla that's cool ^_^ [07:34] ztomic: i can run it and all, but i just cant seem to download a map and get it to work [07:34] At the moment I'm just using the Network Monitor, dadehoog. [07:34] WinterWeaver: not the transfer speed. gftp itself is slow... or is it just me? :D [07:35] billy: reading the faq can solve lots. try a wine channel after that. [07:35] Hello [07:35] im banned from the wine channel :( [07:35] hoiwdy [07:35] Pandemic: what's the output of `route -a` ? [07:35] howdy even [07:35] dadehoog, Agent_bob: tried resetting, and also tried changing them to other commands to no avail [07:35] apologies, "route -n" [07:35] kazil: oh... lol... sorry.... hmm, It's not really been slow for me ever... I use it at work and home. [07:36] Lol, I thought perhaps hoiwdy was linux for hello :-P [07:36] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? [07:36] Wow tons of people here. Howdy! That's all for now :) [07:36] Iggz :) [07:36] I'm looking for a little help with a first time ubuntu install... [07:37] palembang [07:37] Anyone have any recommendations for a new sound card thats works well? [07:37] amel [07:37] just ask Iggz [07:37] hi everyone [07:37] I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) [07:37] Iggz: what's the problem? [07:37] or.. perhaps that should be.. "just ask, iggz" =) [07:37] Everything is fine - even with the new build but I am buggered if I can get out on the net [07:37] Iggz drop the cd in the tray and reboot :) it's just about that simple... [07:37] here I've got 2 DHCP server with 2 NIC [07:37] everything is fine... I've got 2 ip address [07:37] LOL [07:38] I tried - but alas no :P [07:38] Iggz oh network issue. wireless ? [07:38] Iggz: wireless? [07:38] I cannot install VMware Player. I just get a message saying: "VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" [07:38] Nop, cable modem - using an ethernet card - not usb [07:38] but the weird thing is, I only got 1 DNS server in my /etc/resolv.con. How can I have my /etc/resolv.conf fixed values ? [07:38] ran terminal commands ala help - but nothing [07:39] Iggz ifconfig -a is your card recognized ? [07:40] Oops, I dunno what I did there. [07:40] hello [07:40] dadehoog: What was that routing command? [07:40] Agent_bob, just curious, does running ifconfig -a give any different info than just ifconfig? [07:40] yes - at lest I think so - it gives it what appears to be the normal linux name - ie etho1 but then tells me its not ready - or something simplier - anyway, it is unable to get my ip addrees [07:40] ?? [07:40] am i in ? [07:40] BernieMac yes it will show cards that are not active but recognized. [07:40] Wow this is a busy channle [07:41] Agent_bob, ahh I see, thanks! [07:41] IC - any idea as to how I can activate it? [07:42] Iggz ok. what does sudo ifup eth0 assuming eth0 tell us ? [07:42] does anyone know why there's no network in my dchroot? what can cause it? [07:42] I have run Linux before - disc distros and have had no issue - same comp and card [07:42] dadehoog are you still there? [07:43] * Agent_bob doesn't think that's what ifup said.... [07:43] Well I have to sleep...I'll try to figure this out later. [07:43] Any suggestions for a new sound card? [07:43] nautilus froze and I had to kill it, but now my desktop is just white with no icons. how can I get it back without rebooting? [07:43] Blistok: alt+f2 and type nautilus [07:44] Blistok: should fix it [07:44] yakov__: resolve.conf [07:44] Sorry Agent bob, i will need to reboot into ubunt to check - I believe it is a message similar to card is not ready (something like that) this maybe due to an other process using it [07:44] marsmissions: just tried that, a window with my home folder popped up, but the desktop is still gone :/ [07:44] Blistok: restart? [07:45] marsmissions: ok, I guess I will, I was hoping I wouldnt have to as this happens like every couple days :/ === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [07:45] Blistok a bit more drastic ctrl+alt+backspace will reset the entire gui [07:45] Blistok: maybe you should reinstall nautilus?? something must be wrong. [07:46] marsmissions: how do I do that? [07:46] sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus ? [07:46] ztomic, that's it! thx! [07:46] agent_bob: ok, thanks [07:46] Hello, I need help getting my wireless working on my dell laptop === max231 is now known as max` [07:47] hi [07:47] shadowblade: what make/model of wireless? [07:47] is there ne1 here [07:47] ? [07:47] Blistok i'm not sure nautilus is a package name... don't thank me until you try it... [07:47] One thing - before I reboot this and have a look - I have assigned a psudo MAC address to my NIC - just playing around a few days ago to check out the proccess - might this make a difference with ubuntu? [07:47] dadehoog, Agent_bob: I changed my preferences in the pref>appearance>visual effects from normal to none and I can use the shortcuts to switch between workspaces now [07:47] agent_bob: alright, thanks [07:47] #help [07:47] Triskaidekaphobi: It's internal in my Dell e1505 [07:48] Blistok: you could search nautilus in synaptic to get the right package name, and then right click and click reinstall in there as well [07:48] IS THERE ANY WAY TO MANAGE FORUMS WITHOUT BROWSER IN UBUNTU [07:48] ?????????????????????????????????????????/ [07:48] hi everyone. How do I stop my Ubuntu get its nameserver list (/etc/resolv.conf) from dhcp server ? [07:48] marsmissions: good idea, thanks [07:48] Iggz indeed. [07:48] !caps | Ziddharth [07:48] Ziddharth: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:48] Iggz and you just steped out of my reach on that issue. ;/ [07:48] anyone ? [07:49] dinochopins: there is a setting somewhere [07:49] K THNX .. HERE I GO [07:49] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [07:49] plz tell me [07:49] if theres a way to manage forums like rss or mail [07:49] dinochopins: I've done it.. can't really remember where I found it.. [07:49] Slart, can you tell me wher ? [07:49] Slart, ah.. so it is possible [07:49] dinochopins: have you tried looking at "man resolv.conf" ? [07:49] Ziddharth wget/wput ? [07:49] shadowblade: ok, from a terminal, execute: "sudo lspci -nnv > delle1505" and post the file to pastebin then reply with the url [07:49] pastebin! | shadowblade [07:50] dinochopins: I'm not being all "rtfm!!!11!" on you.. I just don't remember what I did =) [07:50] not in command prompt [07:50] i mean [07:50] i need some gui [07:50] Bloody ideot I am - of course it might be - I have assigned the psudo nic by changing the windows reg - and my iop has assigned my ip accordingly - but in UB it must go back to my orginal MAC on my NIc - no bleeding wonder I cant get out :/ === pemudaharapan is now known as aNgeL_LaKnAD [07:50] Slart, yes... and I dont get it [07:50] i m new to linux [07:50] hey today i install ubuntu having two disk drives but when i m coping in these than its not showing paste [07:50] Ziddharth oh. idk then. [07:50] shadowblade | pastebin! [07:50] dinochopins: I'll look around in my files.. see if I find it.. hang on [07:51] shall i install the package idk then ??? [07:51] Agent BOb? Your are a star - I hope :-) Cheers [07:51] Triskaidekaphobi: sorry, when ran that command it didnt seem to do anything [07:51] Iggz welcome. [07:51] Iggz hope you get it sorted. [07:51] dinochopins: ah.. in your dhcp configuration you can add stuff like "prepend" [07:51] shadowblade: it did, it put the output into a file name delle1505 in whatever directory you were in... [07:52] hey there is 1 more thing i want to no guys [07:52] Me to - i look the look of this OS to be honest - and really want to dump xp - thank you :) [07:52] shadowblade: you can upload the file to the pastebin service [07:52] is it possible to install your bootloader on a seperate mobile memory card or pen drive to lock your computer [07:52] ? [07:52] !pastebin | shadowblade [07:52] shadowblade: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:52] Triskaidekaphobi: ... sorry I don't know how to do that [07:52] /etc/resolve.conf doesn't solve EVERY problem. [07:52] I'm trying to compile the Domino Style Engine from source (is there a package?) but, at the configure stage I get this error: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! ...... Does anyone know what this means? Oh, Kubuntu, 7.10 [07:52] Ziddharth ? "idk" acronym for "i dont know" sorry for the short hand [07:53] ohk [07:53] :) [07:53] understood [07:53] :) [07:53] Ziddharth, yes [07:53] Triskaidekaphobi: ok, I think I did it right [07:53] Ziddharth: I would assume that it depends on your hardware [07:53] bodhi_zazen .. that yes was for locking question ?? [07:54] but if someone has physical access that plan is easily circumvented [07:54] shadowblade: ok, what's the url? [07:54] i am buying a new laptop [07:54] what do you mean by locking ? [07:54] i'm trying to install virtualbox, i did ./configure and i get this message **g++ (variable cxx) not found) [07:54] ACER ASPIRE 4520 [07:54] dinochopins: I guess you want to use your own dns-server instead of the ones the dhcp-server gives you, right? [07:54] has anyone found a workaround for the classic nVidia HWCursor issue? [07:54] i want to use it with ubuntu [07:54] Triskaidekaphobi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47075/ [07:54] bodhi_zazen give me phisical access to any box, and i own it. simpe as that. [07:55] nd i was thinking to lock it with my mobile with memory card that is detected as pendrive on pc [07:55] via usb [07:55] Ziddharth: are there no other security methods? [07:56] Ziddharth, +1 on what Agent_bob said [07:56] there are but i need the 1 which leaves noone else able to start my pc without me [07:56] I don't know how you can lock a box if someone has physical access [07:56] without any password [07:56] No, that is not possible [07:57] you have to limit physical access or game over [07:57] hmmm [07:57] the screensaver can do that/ [07:57] but wouldnt it wrk if i install GRUB on seperate pendrive [07:57] *? [07:57] bodhi_zazen, how would you go about this? I am just intrigued by the topic now [07:57] during install [07:57] ? [07:57] Ziddharth: then you hjave to encrypt EVERYTHING and even that is no SURE thing. [07:58] even bios' that are password protected (i.e. wont boot without a password) are not secure. a simple bios reset and the password is gone. [07:58] BernieMac, live CD ? [07:58] who are you trying to lock out here, Ziddharth? The evil empire or your parents/wife/brother-in-law ? [07:58] match the effort to the opponent [07:58] bodhi_zazen, ahh, yes I suppose that would work. leave it to me to not think of the most obvious solution [07:58] i am living with some punks wher i work [07:59] so i dont want them to load there shit in my trunk [07:59] :) [07:59] shadowblade: ok, here's a great howto for your setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 [07:59] basically if i use account and password i will have to create their accounts too [07:59] Ziddharth: there are numbers of ways to protect data [07:59] Ziddharth: then I guess a bios password combined with an ok computer box should do it.. [07:59] anyone? [08:00] Narissa: I missed your question [08:00] Triskaidekaphobi: okay, I'll give that a try [08:00] Narissa !i [08:00] no actually if there is a password they will definately ask me .. what i want is that if they start it it shows no OS installed and i will just say its broke [08:00] ;) [08:00] ztomic: seeing if any fix for the hwcursor issue with nVidia had been fixed, or a workaround [08:01] Ziddharth, remove the hard drive [08:01] Agent_Bob 8) [08:01] Ziddharth: sure, they can open the computer box and reset the password.. but hey.. they can tie you up and beat the snot out of you and you'd probably tell them the password anyways =) [08:01] from laptop ?? i m afraid i will lose my warranty [08:01] :) [08:01] Narissa: oh! yeah i saw that. no clue here. [08:01] LOL [08:01] got the new drivers installed, but had to resort to SWCursor, except using flgrx apps or gaming gives me a cursor with a buggy box [08:01] and beating part is not true though bt may get close :D [08:01] Ziddharth remove all drives but a cdrom and use live CD [08:02] carry a pin drive for storage. [08:02] Over write the MBR with 000 or random stuff [08:02] Ziddharth: then just set the boot drive to some other drive.. and when you want to use it.. just set it to the right drive.. that will give you a ." NO BOOT DISK IN DRIVE" error message [08:02] boot from a live cd or floppy then [08:02] no cd = no bot [08:02] frnds it wont work they are not computer geeks but they can use windows so they know how to insert a cd atleast :D [08:03] Ziddharth: remove the power supply [08:03] guys slow down [08:03] ok leave it [08:03] Ziddharth: put a switch on the purple wire [08:03] slart's way is nice .. thnx bro [08:04] neway leave the security option [08:04] ummmm use the computer and when finished use an 8lbs sledge halt program to shut it down.... :) === jman is now known as noraf [08:04] hehe [08:04] is there a software that logs into forums applications and save you the trouble on keeping a track on whats seen and whats unseen [08:04] ? [08:04] :) [08:05] i [08:05] Ziddharth: nothing with a gui.. you could write something yourself with wget, curl etc etc [08:05] Ziddharth: nothing = nothing that I know of [08:06] well then how to use it .. what u r suggesting ?? [08:06] wget stuff === _dac_ is now known as _da61_ [08:06] Ziddharth: wget is a command line application for doing all kinds of web stuff... you could use it to upload logs to some ftp/web-site [08:07] !wget [08:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about wget - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:07] bah.. ubotu.. I'm most disappointed =) [08:07] okhe [08:07] !info wget [08:07] nice help [08:07] wget: retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard.

[08:08] ubotu is like the nerd in the class [08:08] :D [08:10] Does anybody know why in Linux, Picasa doenst have the Web Albums option for uploading/downloading available unlike in the windows version? [08:10] maybe google guys dont like lunux folks [08:10] :D [08:10] help, no sound, did some stuff in the forums and im worse off [08:10] linux probably doesn't pay enough [08:10] akorn: google isn't really into this internet-thingy? =) [08:11] Slart haha i'm sorry? [08:11] PEACEPIPJV : i have had same trouble during my entry in linux wrld [08:11] i tried everything [08:11] bt in the end 1 simple thing came to me [08:11] u can try it too [08:11] Hello. Does anybody here uses some Java Swing/AWT app (NetBeans, IntelliJ Idea, ...). I often loose focus from keyboard. After closing some dialog window, all keystrokes goes to /dev/null :( [08:11] akorn: this happens with a lot of applications.. linux versions lag behind on features etc.. compare linux skype with windows skype.. it's the same [08:12] i have a weird problem with FTP. using gutsy, I can't connect to a FTP server on the same switch with either curl or ncftp, but I can connect to any ftp on the internet. all other machines on the LAN can connect to the FTP server, including my old edgy server. [08:12] Slart oh i see...yea i just thought maybe there was a fix out there or something...pretty depressing, especially from a monster like google! haha [08:13] get alsa driver from alsa website and install your latest module [08:13] haha [08:13] akorn: well.. it'll probably catch up shortly... perhaps write an email to them and ask about it.. make some noise [08:13] mutable are you completely loosing the keyboard or does gnome simply reclaim the keyboard ? [08:13] those guys are buisy collecting money for the competition .. $10 M [08:13] :D [08:14] Slart haha yea, probably a bunch of complainers like me that aren't doing anything :P Alright Thanks for the help! [08:14] you're welcome, akorn [08:14] Agent_bob: I'm loosing keyobard just in that java app [08:14] hey guys is fedora better or ubuntu [08:14] for linux newbie [08:15] ? [08:15] !best [08:15] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [08:15] same goes for distros [08:15] Agent_bob: same in Java 1.6.0_02/03 === xarrrr is now known as xarann [08:16] Ubuntu is the easyest Linux I have used . As for Fedora Core I have not use it since 4.00 [08:16] how can i change my nick in here [08:16] ? [08:16] mutable ok that sounds like it's as simple as the focus not returning to the previous app but rather to the gui in general. i don't know what to tell you though. alt+tab maybe ? [08:16] Agent_bob: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/174281 [08:16] Ziddharth, "/nick new_nick" === Ziddharth is now known as si1 [08:16] Ziddharth: but I think both fedora and ubuntu will meet your demands.. but they are a bit different. === si1 is now known as ZID [08:17] hi..how change permissions from +i to-i?it show invalid operation when i using -i.. [08:18] hadiaziam: man chattr [08:18] hadiaziam: is +i a permission? [08:18] i like ubuntu better [08:18] but thers just 1 thing i hate about it [08:18] its that creepy color during splash [08:19] how can i change it [08:19] just 1? I've think I've got some more =) [08:19] i tried to edit gconf too [08:19] bt nothing [08:19] well slart u probably use more than me [08:19] :D [08:19] hello all! [08:19] ZID: I'm starting to think that the wonderful light brown-ish is hardcoded somewhere.. I've seen other people ask about it.. but no good answers [08:20] hello rxndx [08:20] ZID [08:20] disable the boot splash :) [08:20] its login splash [08:20] you still get your daily dose of ubuntu-brown =) [08:20] not boot splash [08:20] mutable if you can't get focus back with alt+tab i'm not a developer nor part of the ubuntu team, so i can't help you. good that you filed a bug on it. [08:20] I'm having trouble logging into my yahoo messenger account on Pidgin... something about error 29... and when I follow the link it provides, it takes me to a captcha image [08:21] any suggestions? [08:21] rxndx: give it the right password? [08:21] it's still doing this even after I upgraded to Pidgin 2.3 [08:21] gordonjcp yes [08:21] New GDM theme then [08:22] rxndx: have you googled the error message? [08:22] I just cleared my CMOS and need to reset the clock in Ubuntu. Is the command ntpdate? I don't remember. [08:22] I think it has something to do with the captcha image, but there is nowhere to enter one in pidgin [08:22] bodhi_zazen: still doesn't change that first image you get when starting gnome [08:22] tried everything .. it changed the bgcolor for GDM but everytime i log in that color always shows up midway :)) [08:22] gordonjcp yes [08:22] Agent_bob: yes, I cannot, I also find a similar thread on java.net and bug on sun, so i will append it to the bug, thx [08:22] moin [08:22] oic now [08:22] mutable sorry i couldn't do more there. [08:23] install ubunt from bootstrap, install fluxbox, startx [08:23] when i put a new network card in to ubuntu, it appears as eth1 (obviously to avoid conflicts) so how to I tell ubuntu that the old card is broken, and isn't coming back, and to use the new card as eth0? [08:23] Agent_bob: ok :) thx attention [08:23] rxndx: don't use yahoo messenger so I've never seen that error.. have you checked the pidgin site? perhaps they have forums? irc-channel? [08:23] i m afraid i will live with it rather than installing ubuntu [08:23] :D [08:23] whooo, I'm back and finally have windows installed. [08:24] again [08:24] rgt33467: got it..thanks [08:24] Slart good idea... I'll search IRC [08:24] ali1234: check the file /etc/network/interfaces .. might be something there [08:24] Slart it's crazy because this just started happening... never before [08:24] has to be on Yahoo's end [08:25] rxndx: well.. the im-people change stuff all the time.. they want you to use their ad-supported client of course =) [08:25] which package should i install to get manual entry for exec?? [08:25] Slart: heh heh :) [08:25] Now I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 desktop edition and sorta need some help on what exactly I'm suppose to do. I'm in the partition table and have device /dev/sda and /dev/sda type ntfs mount point /media/sda1 and 8MB freespace (which I think is eothing for windows) What I want to do is split my 300gb evenlyish to ubuntu and windows. So how does I do that? [08:25] Slart: be back in a few [08:25] Slart: Thanks! [08:25] rav1: "manual entry for exec"? [08:26] just shrink some window partition [08:26] Slart: yup [08:26] rav1: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev [08:26] thanks man [08:26] darius shrink it [08:26] ;) [08:27] aahhh.. I thought you wanted to enter something manually for exec.. doh.. [08:27] like on the keyboard or something..=) [08:27] zid... I'm very cautious about what I'm doing. I don't want to mess stuff up. And also, I don't really know exactly what I'm doing at all. D: === GeDaST is now known as amaroso [08:27] Slart: no, that's no use at all. [08:27] Do I want to edit an existing partition, make a new one, etc? I have no idea. :p [08:28] ali1234: yes.. that's what I thought too =) [08:28] hi, I just installed ubuntu amd64, every time I log into kdm it plays the intro sound and kicks me out back into the login screen any ideas? [08:28] has gutsy introduced some new default firewall settings that blocks ftp or something? or maybe when you get the auto eth1 it puts up a default firewall? [08:28] Darius08x: you'll probably want to shrink your windows partition so you get some free space.. then create a new partition in that free space for ubuntu [08:28] i've been complaining about the "reversed sign" in tzconfig (dapper LTS) for over a year. no fix in sight. and it's so simple. just reversing the GMT(plus/minus)# i'm tempted to do it my self although i don't know C [08:29] Darius: select some existing window partition that is in NTFS or FST [08:29] hi [08:29] and just shrink its size [08:29] ali1234: ubuntu has a firewall installed by default.. but it's disabled, kind of.. so it shouldn't be interfering [08:29] Well what do you know it works [08:29] well something is interfering [08:29] or u can use partition magic from inside the windows that is currently installed [08:29] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? [08:29] anyone knows where to set in phpmyadmin the user, password, onlydb, host parameters? can`t find it anywhere [08:30] Yeah, I don't think it's letting me do that. If I go to edit partiton all it does is leet me change the type of it [08:30] wait [08:30] didn't word that well [08:30] the firewall capability of linux is in the kernel [08:30] kazil: /etc/phpmyadmin/ if you installed the packages [08:30] r u havng windows installed ?? [08:30] lets me change the type like ext3, ntfs, etc, and also, change the mountpoint I see no way to resize it [08:30] no I already installed it [08:30] Is sharing interrupts between PCI devices any kind of performance degradation at all? [08:30] I"m in the partition table in the intall for ubuntu [08:31] did ubuntu suggested something to u .. ?? some default scheme for partition [08:31] ? [08:31] I hate to ask really daft questions in this channel but is there an absolute begiiners to linux channel where i can ask really daft questions? :-) [08:31] ali1234: you're running a ftp-client? or a server? [08:31] ali1234: if you want to check the firewall you can run this "sudo iptables -L" it will either print mostly nothing or 10+ lines of rules and stuff. [08:31] I'm in "manual" install instead of guided - use entire disk. Because I don't really want to use the entire disk since windows is on there. [08:31] anyone have ANY idea what's going on here: I have an nvidia video card, and I was running fiesty with no problems, although I did have to install the drivers from nvidia's site rather than from ubuntu. I just upgraded to gutsy, and had a hell of a time trying to get it to work, but eventually I figured out this much: I have nvidia-glx-new installed, and when I first boot up ubuntu can't find my video card and kicks me into low graphics [08:31] mode. But if I switch to a text vt and issue the following 3 commands gdm will boot up properly: sudo rmmod nvidia, sudo kill -9 , sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [08:31] Does anybody know how to completely disable SCIM ? [08:31] the ftp server is running on an embedded video player [08:31] Iggz: we do daft questions here too =) [08:31] I see some conf panel, but there some options... [08:31] ali1234: yeah i find that but its not the 'usual' config.inc.php (under usual i mean the kind like under windows) [08:32] Question - can any variant of Ubuntu be distributed via liveCD (smaller the better) with NTFS-write support? [08:32] as i said before, my edgy box can connect but my gutsy box cannot using the same programs. and all three machines are connected to the same switch [08:32] hmm [08:32] so how much free space is available o you now [08:32] ? [08:32] in current table [08:32] ? [08:32] wasme: nvidia.com drivers hosed your system after the kernel upgrade [08:32] ali1234: ah.. yes.. read that... it's weird.. but check the firewall.. that's a pretty easy thing to do.. [08:32] it says "free space" 8mb [08:33] Trogdor3634 is that an GNU-GPL question ? read the GNU-GPL short answer yes. [08:33] Trogdor3634: I would say yes [08:33] but on the partiton I installed windows, thats ALL I have installed so there is like 300ish gb not being used [08:33] LOL, fair enough - ok, well now that I have this thing running a few really daft questions starting with... [08:33] r u having ne partition other than ntfs or fat [08:33] ? [08:33] wols: so, uh, why would it work after removing the module and restarting X? Doesn't X just reload the same module anyway? [08:33] !u | ZID [08:33] ZID: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [08:33] is there a website that lists the essential linux prigrams? You know firewalls. VS, etc? [08:33] Slart: iptables -L shows that both machines have completely blank chains [08:34] My MMORPG, Eve Online, just pulled one of the biggest QA/testing mistakes I've ever seen. The default upgrade path deletes the windows file boot.ini on reboot, bricking the computer unless you have a recovery CD. I'd like to offer the tools to fix this, but I need a small distribution which has NTFS-write capability to make a new boot.ini - and may get a few linux converts while I'm at it. [08:34] *programs [08:34] ali1234: ok.. that's one possible reason out of the way... only one nic in the machine? [08:34] Is it possible to use dd to replace the first 20k in File 'A' with File 'B', which happens to be 20k in size? [08:34] crap, Need to go afk for a while guys. Hold on. [08:34] I don't care about the GPL, nor does anyone working on a termpaper who's now unable to reboot their computer [08:34] Well, don't hold on, dunno when I'll be bacvkc [08:34] Iggz: check out synaptic.. it's in system, administration, synaptic sometihng [08:34] yes, but, it is not the original install nic, so it appears as eth1 - in the none working gutsy box [08:34] back* [08:34] Iggz firewall and essential programs in the same sentance ? ... [08:34] Iggz: or you could look at the Applications menu.. Add/Remove [08:35] Thanks slart [08:35] Iggz what is the desired end ? [08:35] Does any existing Ubuntu-based live-CD capable distro have NTFS-write capability? [08:35] Trogdor : The latest Gutsy LiveCD will do it. I wonder if Puppy will as well? [08:36] Trogdor3634: check out that new distro.. jos I think it's called.. just enough OS.. it's ubuntu but just the bare essentials [08:36] Lol, well come on agent, i was the one kicking the ubuntu distro around because I couldnt get on the net yet i was the daft sod using a psud mac address :P [08:36] MukeEx: It will write as well? I thought it was just read on the default distro [08:36] Actually, Trogdor, every time I've done that it's been habit to apt-get ntfs-config , so I'm not sure if it's there by default. [08:36] sweet.. i did it :) [08:37] Looking to be able to post the tools tonight and have a fix self-contained, since people will be booting up tomorrow. [08:37] Agent BOb, good question - realistically I want to replace everything eventually form Xp to linux - but to be honest.... [08:37] does anyone know the maximum resolution for the intel 845G video card? i'm trying to install ubuntu on my old netvista pc, which is connected to a new samsung 931BW... no display shows after booting it. [08:37] ali1234: hmm.. could you pastebin the output from "ifconfig" and "route"? [08:37] Slart: Does it come with NTFS-write capability? [08:38] ...my main computor use is internet for research - well covered by FF, IRC, covered, it would seem by this program, and I am a big user of media - ie films and audio [08:38] wols_: so, uh, why would it work after removing the module and restarting X? Doesn't X just reload the same module anyway? [08:38] Trogdor3634: I don't know.. I just know that it's a small version of ubuntu.. [08:38] !jos [08:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about jos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:38] Morning :) [08:38] help, no sound in toshiba. tried some threads in the forums, updated alsa driver and stuff and im worse off [08:38] thx [08:38] Trogdoor : Sounds silly, but if you don't immediately find a fix, try just downloading gutsy, running the livecd with a usb drive, and aptitude download ntfs-config, and put it on the USB key if it needs to be downloaded. [08:38] again ubotu..I find your lack of answers.. .disturbing =) [08:38] Anyone of you really good with computers...? [08:39] wasme: what driver is your xorg.conf using? [08:39] and Mandriva Linux...or similar ? [08:39] !coffee [08:39] coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [08:39] nvidia [08:39] Slart: ok [08:39] er [08:39] peacepipejv, what's your laptop model? are you in dual boot? [08:39] wols_: nvidia [08:39] Slart: there's a web interface to ubuto that you can go in and fill in answers for [08:39] I'm pretty sure Gutsy has inate NTFS write support, but if it doesn't, that solution will work. [08:39] Darbus: really good could mean so many things.. try us [08:39] wasme: installing the PROPER ubuntu nvidia resttricted drivers should fix it again [08:39] !caffeine [08:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about caffeine - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:39] So, best firewall, AV, mdia player - movie and sound - at the momement [08:39] wols_: I did that already [08:39] yay, the coffee factoid was entered by someone who can spell [08:39] So will putting the LiveCD on a 1GB Flash drive and the ntfs-config package on the writable partition ;) [08:39] !NTFS [08:39] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:39] levander: huh? [08:39] wols_: I removed everything I could find nvidia related and reinstalled nvidia-glx-new over again. [08:40] wasme: then show us the xorg log from when it doesn't work properly on bootup [08:40] !NTFS-3G [08:40] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:40] Ok here goes... I do at this point have one Dell Latitude C160 laptop. With no OS working.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [08:40] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the dialog that opens by selecting in the GNOME panel menu 'System' > 'Quit'? [08:40] wasme: not nvidia-glx. ALL of the drivers. glx AND kernel module [08:40] onats: toshiba sat a105. xp, ubuntu, ubuntustudio [08:40] History behind this is : 1. I went from Win Xp to Mandriva Linux, and 2. I deleted the Xp partition...and 3. I then deleted all the remaining partitions... [08:40] Iggz: best firewall=only firewall.. iptables.. there are some gui's to configure it [08:41] Darbus: this is a ubuntu ONLY channel. ask #mandriva about mandriva problems. not us [08:41] Slart: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2501/ === _nuu is now known as nuu [08:41] !best | iggz [08:41] iggz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [08:41] peacepipejv, i had quite a similar problem before with my toshiba u205.. i noticed that if i muted it in windows, then booted to ubuntu w/o unmuting it there, it stays muted. you might want to try that [08:41] wols_: uh, the only drivers installed are nvidia-glx-new and restricted, which automaticly got removed when I removed nvidia-glx-new [08:41] Its not a Mandriva problem in particular...its a computer problem at first ^^ [08:41] wasme: dpkg -l |grep nvidia [08:41] since Mandrive in itself is no longer present :D [08:41] Trogdor3634! : The LiveCD/USB method might be yoru best bet, assuming you have a spare key lying about [08:41] Darbus: ew don't care. this is ubuntu ONLY: everything else is OFFtopic. please respect that [08:41] Iggz: media players are already installed.. I use vlc myself.. it does just about everything.. to play mp3's and such I use amarok... there are many others with different features/goals [08:42] Hey, I was trying to follow this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 and I got an error at step 13 [08:42] Iggz now. as to the firewall. iptables is the linux firewall and there are several apps for controlling it. firestarter comes to mind. media players are plentiful i like vlc [08:42] Darbus: there is ##linux, there is #hardware, etc. ask them, not us [08:42] so I think I found a script to use, and I downloaded it but I don't know what to do with it now... it's got a .c file extension [08:42] Ubo, indeed - perhaps I should have said recommended - in windows I know which get the best test results here I is a little less sure :-) [08:42] ali1234: what is the ip of that ftp-server? === macd_ is now known as macd [08:42] rxndx: that's source code. not a script [08:42] ycaptcha.c [08:42] Slart: 192.168.22.23 [08:42] wols_: just nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common [08:42] wols_ ah [08:42] Iggz here you just try them all and use what you like. [08:42] wasme: I told you what you need. if you want to ignore it: your choice. good day [08:42] ali1234: or if you want to keep it secret.. is it in the 192.168.XX range? [08:43] price is the same :) [08:43] lol [08:43] Slart: he just said so [08:43] Thanks Slart - didn't know VLC was linux supported - excellent, do you know if the web based DIVX player is also support on this platform? [08:43] wols_ how would I compile it into a usable form? [08:43] ali1234: ok, thanks.. everything looks good so far.. no obvious errors that I can see [08:43] MUKEX: I'm treating it as a linux evangelizing opportunity - I could just point people to a pirated windows admin boot CD. So the smaller the distro, and the less steps required, the better - if they have to open Terminal, they'll never try linux again. [08:43] Ok back again. Anyways. I just recently installed windows xp. Then went over to the live cd of ubuntu 7.10 desktop version. I'm in the manual install partition table, and don't know what to do next. I want to dual boot xp and ubuntu, but I have no idea where to go now. [08:43] Slart: and i can ping it... the ftp connection even gets packets back from it, but then it just stops. i have a wireshark trace if you would like to see it [08:43] ali1234: if you want to allow users behind a router to connect you need to assign and portforward a high port range too. not just 20,21 [08:43] onats: its not a mute problem, "no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found" [08:43] wols_: well.. the fingers move on their own.. =) [08:43] rxndx: gcc [08:44] wols_ thank you [08:44] wols_: the ftp server and the gutsy are on the same switch [08:44] where does firefox install to by default? [08:44] Bagent: thanks checking out now [08:44] wols_: and as I said I already did that. It didn't help. But I can see you've concluded I'm not listening, so I guess I should conclude I won't get any help here. [08:44] Darius08x: just install it. it will be able to dualboot automatically [08:44] peacepipejv, ah ok.. in that case i dont know.. [08:44] ali1234: hmm.. that just makes it even strangers.. no packets or all packets are the usual states..=) [08:44] oh. [08:44] anyone here using bittornado? [08:44] wols_ tons of errors [08:44] Iggz while you are just exploring linux you might also want to try out other desktop environments [08:44] wasme: as you just said you did NOT. no kernel module. now go away until you can answer the questions posed to you [08:45] rxndx: dó you think I'm psychich? [08:45] do I want to use guided - entire disk then? [08:45] -h [08:45] if I just hit forward her eit says... [08:45] Darius08x: do you have free, unpartitioned space on your harddisk? [08:46] Does anyone know where I can find a font like this: http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=61241&file1=61241-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Revelation+-+Domino [08:46] ali1234: and ping works even with bigger payloads? try ping -s 5000 [08:46] Final question, I know that Linux uses the NTFs file system, however, i notice that linux programs do not seem to come with an installer - but must be installed via the tools in the OS itself. if you have multible drives is it possible to choose which drive to install to? [08:46] amaroso: not nice.. please stop [08:46] Iggz kubuntu-desktop is a pretty popular meta package, it installs the kde "k desktop environment" along with the kubuntu default apps. [08:46] *multiple [08:46] Slart: ping -s 5000 does not work from either the gutsy or edgy box [08:47] Iggz: linux does not use ntfs. and in linux there are no "drives" or "driveletters" either [08:47] Iggz: hmm.. not really.. linux doesn't really work the same way as windows does.. [08:47] bAgent: thanks searching now :-) [08:47] Iggz: you have a / and all your disks are mounted as subdirectories to / [08:47] Uhhh, honestly I hardly know what I'm doing. So I don't know. I didn't see anyway to choose how much space to use in windows. So I just installed using the whole disk I suppose. In the partiton table I've got /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 which is 320062 MB, so I'm assuming all my space is right there. :/ [08:47] Iggz ??? I know that Linux uses the NTFs file system," linux can access ntfs filesystems but doesn't want to live there. [08:47] I'm very, very, new, so I'm sure I sound pretty dumb D: [08:47] wols_ thanks... going to search google to see if I can learn some programming [08:47] Darius08x: you need to resize the windows partition then first [08:47] wols_ take care [08:47] LOL [08:47] how can I set a monitor mode for 1024x1024@75 , the monitor driver for my CRT is wrong! [08:48] ali1234: it doesn't? that's odd.. I can ping with payloads up to at least 20000 here between my 2 gutsy boxes.. [08:48] How exactly does one do that? [08:48] chief: stop X. then in a terminal dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [08:48] 1280x1024 I mean [08:48] !ops | amaroso [08:48] amaroso: Help! Channel emergency!

[08:48] Slart: the ftp server is not running gutsy, not running linux... it runs RTOS [08:48] oh.. well it isn't an emergency really.. but amaroso is /msg spamming [08:49] Damn my typing is falling to bits - sorry very tired [08:49] Iggz: you can but you shouldn't really. especially since you don't know how it works. I guarantee you it won't work when you do it [08:49] ali1234: well.. it should still be able to pass bigger packets around.. [08:49] Slart: I'm not seeing anything [08:49] Iggz linux "by nature" uses ext2 file system and in later times ext3 which is ext2 plus a journel [08:49] Slart: next time: !Ops amaroso is spamming in msg [08:49] ah.. perhaps he's just spamming me then.. wow.. a personal enemy.. how nice =) [08:49] Slart: so ops already know what the "emergency" is [08:49] Slart: yeah. it should also open a listening socket before sending out the response to PASV command... but it doesnt [08:49] what [08:49] thanks wols_ didn't know that [08:49] wols_, thanks [08:49] Hello Hello! [08:50] Slart: thw only reason im trying to connect to the thing using curl is to get a debug trace to send to the people who made it [08:50] hi [08:50] WOLs, thanks. So the installer will simply look for free space in any of the subdirectories available? [08:50] Slart, not everyone gets all the PM spams :) [08:50] !fonts [08:50] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[08:50] !jeos [08:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about jeos - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:50] but i still cafnt play flash movies in firefox [08:50] Iggz: no. linux has a quite rigid way installing things. it installs things in the proper places which is the same place on all ubuntu installs [08:50] helllo room. limewire is just a blank screen. has anyone seen that before? [08:50] wols_: okay that worked. [08:50] ali1234: hmm.. can you ping something else on the network with a big packet size? [08:51] Slart: yes the edgy and gutsy boxes can ping each other fine with 5000 [08:51] can anyone play flash movies in firefox? [08:51] ali1234: if the ftp-server can't handle big pings perhaps it can't handle any big packets at all.. that would perhaps explain why it won't work.. [08:51] what do i need to install [08:51] wols_: thanks [08:51] Iggz: just like you can't just put your user's files anywhere. the only place you should put them is in your /home [08:51] Slart: makes no sense [08:51] Hello, I'm trying to get my wireless working using this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 and I'm getting errors at step 13, can someone help? [08:51] Iggz you seem to be asking about the "linux file system higherarcy" google know all about it. [08:51] Slart: but it works fine with edgy [08:52] what does restricted drivers mean by "nvidia-glx-new" is not enabled ? [08:52] ali1234: yes.. forgot about that.. [08:52] shadowblade: tell us about the errors [08:52] Slart: i can't even "telnet ftp-server 21" using gutsy [08:52] Slart, please PM me the spam messages you got [08:52] IC - I think -so if i partion part of my drive in windows - for the Ubunt install (i am presntly running off of the distro disc) it wont make any difference?

[08:53] Are there any Ubuntu Trade marks issues in printing ubuntu t-shirt , mouse mats ???? [08:53] wols_: i was just following the steps in the howto and it went well up until there [08:53] Iggz yeah wols is right, easy way is just free up some space that is not partitioned, the installer will make the partition with your permission of course. [08:53] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu AMD64. I've installed sun-java6-jre through apt-get. Obviously it installed the 64 bits java version, however i can't get Opera to work with java even if i point it to the correct java path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64. I assume this is because Opera is 32 bits version and java isn't. Should i install java for i386 then? and how should i do this? [08:54] WOLS really? I think I am getting this. So where as Windows goes looking for partitions, linux will simply ignore this and see only directories? [08:54] Iggz it doesn't even need to be on the first disk. [08:54] Hey, I need some help. [08:54] Just installed Ubuntu for the first time. [08:54] And I kind accidently borked it. :P [08:54] ali1234: then I'm out of ideas.. can't imagine why the gutsy box won't talk to the ftp-server.. if gutsy had some weirdness going on in its network part I'm sure we would have heard about it by now.. [08:54] zzap: Could you please describe the problem in more detail? [08:54] hi [08:55] The screen resolution is not right [08:55] Iggz: no. it sees directories. but ubuntu likes to create its partitions in its installers. not let windows create it for it [08:55] erm, it sees partitions [08:55] help, "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" error when i try to open volume controls. [08:55] Skello: there is no 64bit java plugin in existance. you can try nspluginwrapper [08:56] zzap: Ah. But, you said you somehow broke it -- that means it used to be correct, yes? [08:56] Iggz what you are "getting" is that when linux mounts a filesystem it is then just a subdir of the system. [08:56] i see what the problem is [08:56] !sound | peacepipejv [08:56] peacepipejv: 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 [08:56] Slart: i'm tending toward blaming IPCOP [08:56] for some reason there is a md5sum mismatch [08:56] Wols: got it thank you. can i keep IRC up on the same comp while the installer is running? just in case i get stuck? :-) [08:56] hi all... i have a q.... i have some troubble with the fps tremuous game... can someone help me?? or can someone tell me where I can find help on this?? [08:56] and it causes flash player not to install [08:56] ali1234: but the ipcop machine isn't between you and the ftp is it? [08:56] Iggz: of course [08:56] i have no idea how to fix it though [08:56] Iggz sure. [08:56] I set it up to the right resolution, sO I'm not sure what I did wrong. [08:56] anyone have the same problem? [08:56] ciacon: don't ask to ask, just ask [08:56] Slart: no, but that hasn't stopped it from completely screwing up the network before [08:56] Someone? [08:57] OK, her goes [08:57] glick_: check launchpad for the bug. adobe changed the download [08:57] glick_: there should be a wokaround [08:57] The screen resolution is not right. Like, when I boot up and it gets to the login screen, I see all these lines and stuff. I set it up to the right monitor and resolution. And it told me to log off and log back on for the changes to take effect. So I did that. But when I logged off it went all weird. [08:57] wols_: ?? [08:57] ali1234: oh.. I used ipcop on my former workplace.. it never misbehaved there [08:57] shadowblade: hm? [08:57] :wonders of and presses install - fingers crossed and fearing the cures of Bill gates [08:57] wols how launchpad?

[08:58] wols_: do you know what the problem is? [08:58] wols_ i believe that's true for Firefox. Opera uses and detects java directly, doesn't need a plugin. It just needs the proper path to libjava.so and that's in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/amd64. However Opera doesn't have a 64 bits stable version yet. So it's a 32 bits one. I thnink that's the problem. [08:58] zzap: Which video card are you using? [08:58] some of the aliens encountered in tremulous are 3x the size they should be.... tyrants are so big, that they are taller than the ceeling... that obviously is a grafics-error... didn't have it on my old pc... can anyone give me any hints?? [08:58] Darius08x: it's explained in the ubuntu docs [08:58] Darius08x gparted ? [08:59] Ah, I forgot about gparted. [08:59] shadowblade: did you download the correct driver (32 or 64-bit) listed above the steps? [08:59] shadowblade: does this file exist? yes or no? if no: make it exist. it's part of your windows drivers [08:59] It's a RADEON 9200 PRO, it seems, Fyda / wols_. [08:59] i dont see anything in launchpad [08:59] about it [09:00] Triskaidekaphobi: I tried those and the ones from the dell website, got the same errors with both [09:00] zzap: use the "ati" or "radeon" driver then [09:00] i guess thats a bug and ill just have to wait for the update [09:00] wols_: How do I get into that if I can't see anything on the monitor? [09:00] shadowblade: where did you extract the driver files? [09:00] Type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the recovery mode thing? [09:00] zzap: Could you please post the contents of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on a site like pastebin.com or pastebin.ca? [09:00] haha [09:00] but that would seem like a high priority bug i would think it be one of the first ones fixed [09:00] zzap: Yes, use the recovery console. [09:01] !flash [09:01] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:01] there are people out there who are walking around on the street giving out ubuntu disks to passer bys [09:01] hi there i am trying to start java.bin install how do i do it so i do not create deb i have ubuntu [09:01] shadowblade: they are both ZIP files and need to be UNZipped somewhere... [09:01] jariep1_: why don't you want the .deb? [09:01] Triskaidekaphobi: just into ~, the driver files from the dell site (that I'm trying now) are in ~/DRIVER [09:01] wols is ok [09:01] iKernel no wonder micro-soft hates linux [09:01] Fyda: I'm using Windows currently ... I don't think it can see my Ubuntu install. :/ [09:01] shadowblade: are you 32 or 64-bit [09:01] not necessary hurry i am in [09:01] anyone have the same problem with flash [09:01] or is it just me? [09:01] i am in hurry wols [09:01] wols_ also my problem is not only with Opera. I plan to install another 32 bits java application, thus i doubt that one will work with java for amd64 either. I need to know how to go about installing java i386 on the AMD64 architecture please. [09:02] jariep1_: it is not ok. why don't you use the ubuntu packages or at least use make-jpkg? [09:02] hi, i have a problem, when I tty to instal runit, it tries to do something with /etc/inittab, the problema is that inittab doesnt exist on my machine, and it gives me an error, any ideas? [09:02] how [09:02] wols_ how [09:02] Skello: use a 32bit chroot [09:02] !java [09:02] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [09:02] shadowblade: how many files are in ~/DRIVER? [09:02] Triskaidekaphobi: umm... I really don't know when I haven't built the computer :) [09:02] i cant watch youtube without flash [09:02] its important! [09:02] Fyda: So what would I do after I type in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [09:02] Triskaidekaphobi: 5 [09:02] !flash | ubotu [09:02] ubotu: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:03] Wols, sorry in prepare disk space which option should I chose? Ie, one auto selected is guided resize master partion hda5? new peartion size being min 46 gig [09:03] zzap: That command reconfigures your graphical server. If you were doing that from the recovery mode console, then you would type "exit" and it'd proceed to boot up into graphical mode. [09:04] Fyda: Ah, ok. And what, it would go back to the default 800x600, etc.? [09:04] wols_ you are a Linux master! [09:04] rxndx: I am not [09:04] Triskaidekaphobi: got the same error with the 64-bit inf [09:04] shadowblade: execute this in a terminal: "uname -a" and look to the end of the line... does in say i686 or x86_64 [09:04] wols_ to me... you have an answer for everything! it's awesome! [09:04] Or would the guided use largest continous free space be best option? [09:04] zzap: Well, I'm not at your computer, and I don't have your hardware, so I don't know what the exact result would be. But it would attempt to create a safe, working configuration. [09:05] Triskaidekaphobi: i686 [09:05] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the GNOME Quit dialog ('System' > 'Quit')? [09:05] Fyda: Alright. Thanks. I'll give it a try, and I'll be back if it doesn't go well. :P [09:05] Fyda: Thanks for your help. :) [09:05] shadowblade: ok, you're 32-bit, so you should be using the files from the 32-bit link... [09:05] wols_ i should uninstall the java for amd64 first right? [09:05] zzap: I'll be gone soon, so I hope someone else can help you if you still have problems afterwards. [09:05] Fyda: Alright. [09:05] Skello: no [09:06] shadowblade: did you extract both files (64 and 32-bit) to the same folder? [09:06] Bugger it. How much free space does ubuntu need for an install? :-) [09:06] Skello: why do you need a 43bit java for a java app? java uses a VM you know? [09:06] Iggz: there are docs which explain this questin [09:06] Iggz: why don't you read them? [09:06] Triskaidekaphobi: the dell drivers i'm trying now are all in the one folder [09:07] Iggz: For a clean install? 2GB I think [09:07] Inded, sorry WOLs -being very lazy - thank you :-) [09:07] wols_ i don't know. That's why i'm here asking. I said 'i assume i need the 32 bit version' to run a java app. Correct me if i'm wrong please :) [09:07] shadowblade: ok, not good, you need to re-extract the 32-bit driver ZIP to a separate folder, then verify the name of the INF file... [09:07] Skello: you are most certainly wrong. satisfied now? [09:07] how do I kill the login manager for a moment ? [09:07] so how does ubuntu keep the same ethN name for nics when you put in a new one? [09:07] chief: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:08] wols_: ta [09:08] ali1234: udev [09:08] wols_ of course. Thank you for your assistance. Much appeciated. [09:08] ali1234: it identifies them based on their MAC [09:08] shadowblade: if the name is not the same as in step 13, you need to substitute the INF name you found in that folder [09:08] ali1234: I think it assigns them in the same order it loads drivers for them [09:08] wols_: already found it [09:08] Slart: not anymore [09:08] Triskaidekaphobi: its the same [09:08] wols_: nice that crashed the entire OS [09:08] chief: what did? [09:09] ali1234: but I think you can specify which card gets which name in /etc/network/interfaces [09:09] Slart: no, that's how it used to work, and putting a new nic in your router could leave you without a firewall :/ [09:09] chief: define "crashed" please [09:09] VSpike thats what i thought I had read but when I chose guided option on partion tab it tells me there isn't enough free space continous that is - although I know I have at least 24 gig free in at least one of my (windows) partions [09:09] wols_: the moment I told gdm to stop [09:09] Slart: please don't answer when you are wrong [09:09] chief: define what you mean with "crash" [09:09] weird, gparted isn't letting me resize. [09:09] Slart: no no no, it's in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [09:09] wols_: well crash, as in computer not usable anymore [09:09] ali1234: no. it's in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules [09:09] bash doesn't seem to be reading in /etc/profile or ~/.profile anyone know why is this ? [09:10] someone: maybe not a login shell? [09:10] wols_: that file does not exist on my computer [09:10] someone: or a loginshell [09:10] Triskaidekaphobi: when i run ndiswrapper -l, it tells me it's invalid [09:10] wols_: basically I've got too press the reset button to get the pc back [09:10] ali1234: any file with "25" in there then? [09:10] If I double click on it to open up properties I get "warning" (random stuff) Accounting clusters. Cluster accounting failed at 6519 (0x1977); extra cluster in $bitmap over and over [09:10] chief: that's... odd [09:10] wols_: no [09:10] Iggz: Have your tried defragging the windows partition from windows first? [09:11] Iggz: it may be trying to tell you that it can't resize it successfully [09:11] wols_: very.. [09:11] What does that men? [09:11] chief: what videodrivers do you use [09:11] wols_ ok. [09:11] shadowblade: remember that linux is case-sensitive, be sure to use the proper case when using "ndiswrapper -i ~/ThIs iS cAsE sEnSiTiVe/DrIvEr.InF" [09:11] VSpike. thats what i thought but just finished a windows defrag in prep :/ [09:11] wols_: barebone defaults of what ever ubuntu choose to use for my nvidia geforce 7600gt [09:12] wols_: nothing beginning with "z" either [09:12] chief: that card should have good drivers. nv or vesa [09:12] mean* [09:12] Triskaidekaphobi: i've definitely got that right [09:12] shadowblade: true, if it hasn't installed any drivers, it can't list the installed drivers using the -l switch [09:12] ali1234: ok. must be a ubuntu/debian difference then [09:12] what is the name of the distribution gutsy such and such [09:12] Iggz: That's wierd then === YanchoAWY is now known as Yancho [09:13] wols_: I dislike both, I'd rather have the offical ones, but the docs on that sight are too geekified for me, so I thought I'd shutdown X and install the ones had already downloaded. [09:13] jariep1_: gutsy gibbons aka ubuntu 7.10 [09:13] wols_: this machine was upgraded from feisty [09:13] wols_thank you [09:13] indeed, I thought it was just me :-) [09:13] chief: don't. you break your ubuntu. ubuntu comes with perfectly fine nvidia drivers [09:13] shadowblade: try replacing '~' with '/home/YOURID/driverfolder/drivername.inf' after the -i switch [09:13] chief: the nvidia restricted drivers is what you should use [09:14] not from nvidia.com, not envy, not automatic [09:14] *automatix [09:14] Iggz: I think you can download a trial copy of acronis - you could try that to create a new partition, and then run the install [09:14] wols_: well I tried unstanding that tutorial and well, none of it makes sence [09:14] Iggz did you turn off windows page file first and then defrag ? [09:14] VSpike: don't create new partitions. let ubuntu create them [09:14] chief: what is the problem? [09:15] wols_: why? [09:15] wols_: for starters kmenu? that's kde I'm gnome [09:15] OPk, if I go for the guided installation - resize ide 1 I assume it will delete the windows partions and any data that exists there? [09:15] Triskaidekaphobi: ha that worked...wow [09:15] *OK [09:16] Triskaidekaphobi: thanks [09:16] chief: same thing tho. select restricted drivers, get nvidia drievrs there. done [09:16] shadowblade: excellent! [09:16] Iggz: not if it resizes [09:16] wols_: restricted drivers from where? [09:17] chief: System . Administration [09:17] Great - and it wont cause any difficulties in WIndows? ie with the windows registry looking for programs which will no longer be where it thinks they are? [09:17] wols_: nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. [09:17] chief: then "enable" it? [09:18] lol how ? [09:18] how do you install stuff? [09:18] Iggz: the resizing is transparent to windows, but backup any essential data first [09:18] become administrator, enable it [09:18] Iggz: it's pretty reliable, but any disk operation like that is fallible, e.g if the power fails half-way through [09:18] wols_: there is no package nvidia-glx-new in the package manager ;) [09:19] Thank you VSpike. [09:19] but in restricted drivers there is [09:19] not on this box [09:20] hai..lh..gabung [09:20] Anyway, I can always reinstall xp I suppose - as long as any other data is left in tact :-) [09:22] xfce will be upgraded to 4.4.2 or i have to w8 till HARDY? [09:23] Buongiorno a tutti. [09:23] kK, Last daft question - and its really daft I know - how long does ubuntu take to rezise the partion?

[09:23] peri_cantique [09:24] Iggz: depends on your harddisk size, speed, etc. can't give a number [09:24] barthj: you will have to wait [09:25] i see, thanks [09:25] wols_: so you can see why I'm a little confused then, seeing as things aren't where there supposed to be. [09:26] hi can someone tell me how to make gusty pick up my cpu correct reading? It shows I'm running at 2.80GHZ but that's wrong because my prescot is a 3.20Ghz [09:26] hey, what do you know. i set the nic back to eth0, updated the MAC on the dhcp server and now it works [09:26] What are 'QUIRKS' in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend-hybrid? [09:27] hello ppl [09:27] gotta quest [09:27] which is thwe vest torrent client for ybuntu gnome? [09:27] !best [09:27] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [09:28] Does anyone know where the contacts list for evolution is stored? [09:28] Pirate_Hunter: cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:28] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the GNOME Quit dialog ('System' > 'Quit')? [09:28] wols_: I mean good [09:28] Pirate_Hunter: what's there is the right value, no matter what you think [09:28] Can someone help me out with this problem: I cant add my JRE (which I just downloaded from Sun) to OpenOffice, it just says it isn't a runtime enviro. [09:28] wols_: ktorrent is not good for gnome [09:29] wols_: what about deluge or qbittorrent [09:29] wols_: like the restricted drivers software is suppose to have some sort of admin button, it doesn't exist [09:29] genericguy: why do you use download it from sun when ubuntu has a perfectly find package? [09:29] hi [09:29] how can i see my mainboard version ? [09:29] wols_: because it didn't work either:( [09:29] genericguy: You should not download it from Sun but rather from the Ubuntu repostories. This will work. [09:29] sasha_: usually you can't. you can try dmidecode [09:29] but it didnt [09:30] !torrent [09:30] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [09:30] wols_: ok will check it out it is just annoying that my cpu is running below the recommended spec and spikes when it reaches 3.20Ghz :( [09:30] genericguy: you sure openoffice (the ubuntu version!) is compiled with java support? [09:31] ok tnx [09:31] wols_: its the deb from the repos, installed using synpatic [09:31] (synaptic) [09:32] wols_: I can't open it, it keeps changing and asks me to reload si there a way around it [09:33] hi [09:33] good nigth [09:33] any here alive? [09:34] good morning :] [09:34] morning [09:34] that rackz0r dude didn't hang around long [09:35] does anyone know what is proposed updates is it ok for me to activate it or is it like backend ports or third party and should be left unticked [09:35] tnx dmidecode works :D [09:35] anyone knows how to install openbios? [09:36] shishirjha: whay? you most certainly don't have compatible hardware [09:36] and openbios is vrey offtopic in ubuntu [09:36] hello [09:37] is there anyway i can upgrade a pre-release gutsy to the final version, without reinstalling? [09:37] onats_: the update manager should do it for you I think [09:38] onats_: in other words, it should already have happened [09:38] vspike, it's telling me it can only do a partial upgrade... [09:38] sudo apt-get upgrade [09:38] onats_: There may be one package that's stuck or broken. Best to use the command line and you will see what the problem is [09:39] vspike, ill have it download 666 packages first, then i'll retry the upgrade using command line [09:39] How can I find out what program will be called if I press a button in the GNOME Quit dialog ('System' > 'Quit')? [09:40] onats_: sure - it will install what it can, the other packages will stay in the download cache [09:40] vspike, yeah... not sure how it works though.. i'm also testing my apt-cacher... should be cached int he server right? [09:40] hi! What root password is set on an installation made from the Install desktop icon ? [09:40] wols_: you could have said add/remove :P [09:41] onats_: it will be cached in the server and locally too, so your server won't even get hit when you retry from the command line [09:41] !sudo > valizas [09:41] vspike, you using apt-cacher? [09:42] Armored_Azrael: because I am asked administration password from the automatic update utility , after the main installation [09:42] Use your user password for that [09:42] Armored_Azrael: thank you [09:43] i only need the package "postgresql" in order to run the server, right? [09:43] because i have it [09:43] and nothing happens when i go /etc/init.d/postgresql start [09:43] or restart [09:43] or stop [09:43] onats_: not really, but I looked at it. Will get around to setting it up again [09:44] onats_: I installed it on one machine, but I'm not sure I did it right. Then I read that apt-proxy was meant to be better, so will probably remove apt-cache and try that instead [09:46] vspike, really? apt-proxy is better? i will take a look... === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [09:48] !reconstructor [09:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about reconstructor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:48] Is reconstructor officially supported? [09:49] hey all. is it just me or are the major issues trying to run an ubuntu gutsy host, with vmware 1.0.4 and just BOOTING a gutsy cd in a guest to install. all i get is the initramfs prompt and a lot of rejecting I/O to offline device errors. my iso's are fine [09:50] onats_: only going by what I read .. will try and find attribution. Hold on. [09:50] Hi evrybody - how / were can i make a bootshript - for Jack /qJackctrl automaticly startup with the boot? [09:51] onats_: OK, admittedly it was from the apt-proxy homepage :D [09:51] onats_: http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/ [09:51] onats_: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [09:52] onats_: It just says that of all the clones, only apt-cacher is still active and it's not as full featured as apt-proxy [09:52] onats_: given how mild that it, I'd suggest if you have it working, stick with it, but it's up to you [09:52] so you mean to say apt-proxy was the original? [09:53] can anyone point me to a suspend2 gudie for gutsy? [09:54] guide* [09:54] oh yes i'd like that one too [09:54] fethman, on a laptop? [09:54] yes [09:54] me too [09:54] me too [09:54] :) [09:54] that's still not working for me [09:54] suspend2 rocks === onats_ is now known as onats [09:54] onats_: according to that site, yes. But the original v1 was a shell script and rather slow, hence the clones I guess. V2 is a python rewrite, but is not released yet. So actually having read that maybe apt-cacher is a better choice right now [09:54] nobody even knows about reconstructor? [09:54] vspike, yes.. that's what i read.. the first one was shell script... [09:55] Morning, can anyone recommend a good torrent program, something like utorrent? tried Azure but it kept locking [09:55] Gmac: deluge [09:55] ktorrent isawesome [09:55] FluxD: Thanks [09:55] ktorrent is really good if you have kde installed [09:56] use to use Ktorrent, had to install the kde library's etc? [09:56] don't even if u use gnome [09:56] one other quick question - old Ubuntu use to have sticky notes? [09:56] now its got Tomboy? [09:56] I use pidigin without tabbed chats. New chat windows are always placed on top of the last created one. Is there a way to make the windows behave like other apps -> get placed on free desktop space. [09:57] Gmac: yeah if you don't have kde installed, or any kde apps, then the first kde app you install will pull in a bunch of kde libs. And the first kde app you run will load a bunch of kde libs [09:57] VSpike: right, will avoid KDE programs - they should have a split on the repo? [09:57] Gmac: if you have a reasonably fast machine, a large drive, and no obsession with purity or one true desktop, it's not a problem though :) [09:57] Hmm so maybe there is no guide for suspend2. I'll try to do it following the gentoo guide then I may write one :) [09:58] i use kde progs all the time, see no diffrence, ktorrent k3b, all good [09:58] only run gnome, ever [09:58] I'm using konversation and amarok, k3b, ktorrent [09:59] I don't notice any delay in loading [09:59] does anyone know why i can't even BOOT a gutsy cd oin vmware [10:00] Hi [10:00] psypher246: You need to give more detail on your problem before someone can help you--there aren't any issues with Gutsy and VMWare to my knowledge. It's most likely a vm misconfiguration [10:00] Hello. [10:00] I do see some odd things sometimes though. If I click a url in konversation, firefox opens up something like file:///var/tmp/kdecache-johncc/krun/30082.0.CommonQuestions [10:01] how r u? [10:01] k, running gutsy as host, vmware 1.0.4 server and trying to boot gutsy desktop in vmware as guest [10:02] What error does it give/at what point does it hang? [10:02] only boots initramfs, like the STOOPID jeos but in this case using ide does not work [10:03] mornin... where can I ask a question abouta wlan config issue? [10:03] get a lot of driev cache write through errors [10:04] Do you perhaps have a resizable disk image but not enough space on your drive for it? [10:04] Hi evrybody - how / were can i make a bootshript - for Jack /qJackctrl automaticly startup with the boot? [10:04] i think so [10:04] was bout to mention that [10:04] busy clearing space to see if thats the problems [10:04] btw, how do i quote yr name when i reply?

[12:04] its strange my system reports two ethernet cards when the only ethernet is two ports built-in to the motherboard [12:05] or can i fix the boot issue from my windows ?

[12:06] about six hours on my laptop [12:07] nomike: man interfaces [12:07] mohkohn, by forever, that means a long time [12:07] Debian takes about 3 hours to do that step so they are definitely doing some randomisation.

You should find what you need for windows too now [12:58] bullgard4: lot of work though, but seems easyer to me... you could do the "before-klick" output on terminal F1 ant the "after-klick" output in terminal F2, so you can switch by checking [12:58] DannyKing: then everytime when you boot, the driver will be loaded automatically. Otherwise you will have to do a sudo modprobe to load the module when you need it. [12:58] bullgard4, damaltor: assumes a new process is spawned though [12:58] !ccsm | FFighter [12:58] FFighter: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [12:58] bullgard4, jrib: yes, thats true. but worth a try i think [12:59] damaltor: sure, good idea [12:59] hi, I'm having problems mounting an NTFS partition, it used to mount fine before gutsy [12:59] I have shutdown windows properly and reinstalled the ntfs-3g drivers [12:59] dgjones, thank you [12:59] damaltor: I will give it a try although pressing some of the buttons is dangerous because the computer will restart or go to sleep. [13:00] bullgard4: what keys do you mean? [13:00] I thought linux has no virus ... but now i am troubled by a mouse virus ... each time when i start the system the mouse is clicking itself on random possitions causing lot of incovineance to me .. [13:00] Breetai, even though the pen still works to move the cursor, but just isnt being picked up by the gimp? [13:00] how to get rid of this prank virus? [13:00] <_nix_> hello everybody.. anyone know what I need to install to get ktorrent's web-gui working? It says php-executable not found in path.. [13:00] TooR4u: not a virus [13:00] TooR4u, are you sure your mouse isn't faulty, try plugging in a different mouse [13:00] i'm trying to make a share folder in virtualbox and i get this error when i mount it: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error [13:00] TooR4u: installing antivirus software? [13:01] so can anyone help me with my ntfs mounting problem? [13:01] damaltor: One button is 'Reboot', another 'Hibernate', a third 'Suspend', a fourth 'Shutdown'. [13:01] bazhang, not a virus? [13:01] !ntfs | peter77 [13:01] peter77: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:01] Breetai, sudo modprobe wacom didn't change it, any hints? :) [13:01] bullgard4: no need to klick them... [13:01] TooR4u: highly unlikely [13:02] !ntfs-3g peter77 [13:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-3g peter77 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:02] bazhang, thank you, ofcourse the first thing I forgot to do was look on the ubuntu site and forums after my ntfs drive refused to mount!!!! [13:02] okey ..... [13:02] !NTFS-3g | peter77 [13:02] peter77: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [13:02] damaltor: Well, but I try to analyze why there is a bug when I press the 'Hibernate' button. [13:02] DannyKing try lsmod | grap wacom to see if the module loaded. [13:02] bullgard4: aaah ok.. [13:02] hi, is anyone aware of a suspend2-enabled kernel repository for gutsy? the default suspend/resume is way too slow, and without suspend2 in the kernel i won't dare to upgrade to 7.10 [13:02] peter77: no worries :} [13:02] bullgard4: had that too, system lockup no? [13:03] I know what ntfs-3g is, I want to know why fuse is claiming that the device is busy [13:03] (|-_-|) [13:03] peter77: while mounting? [13:03] peter77: or while unmounting? [13:03] peter77, why dont u try through command prompt? [13:03] DannyKing: I would then do a sudo modprobe -r wacom to unload the driver then do a sudo modprobe -v wacom to load it and see if any usefull messages come up. [13:03] ok, I have set it to mount in fstab on mount [13:03] guys.. i have 7.04 installed in harddisk. its also running vista. [13:03] boot* [13:03] peter77, mount -t ntfs /dev/.... destination [13:03] but after a few days i also installed suse 10.1 .. [13:04] damaltor: No, It does not produce a system lockup. It produces the Gnome Unlock dialog prematurely. (This did not happen in Feisty.) [13:04] peter77, its good idea [13:04] when I run the mount command sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 === kit_ is now known as kitofhawaii [13:04] is there any microsoft visio type software where we can do enterprise or architectural designing? [13:04] I get the following error sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [13:04] its so happened that vista's bootloader got crashed/bugged after a few days.. i really dont know why... [13:04] this is the error fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [13:04] FUSE mount point creation failed [13:04] Unmounting /dev/sda1 (Windows) [13:05] so iam planning to keep my harddisk copy of ubuntu..and load the grub from cd [13:05] is it possible?? [13:05] DannyKing: Have you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151&highlight=wacom+touch [13:05] peter77, try this ... sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [13:05] bullgard4: ok.. was kinda like mine, in feisty there are a lot of things wprking great... but well. i trieds a lot but had no success in the end. some people say its an error in kernel but i dont really think so. sorry but i dont really have an idea [13:05] TooR4u, same error! [13:06] peter77: is the mount point created? [13:06] first unmount all .. i mean umount -a [13:06] yes [13:06] guys... is it possible to boot ubunu in harddisk from grub in cdrom??? [13:06] then try the above command [13:06] tried that, no luck [13:06] Breetai, yeah I've read that and many others, thanks! It *was* working great last night. I just tried unloading and reloading the driver - no output ata ll [13:06] peter77: try the command again, with sudo [13:06] *at all [13:06] already have done [13:06] peter77: make the directory first... mkdir /mount/sda1 then try [13:06] Something has gone completely out of whack with my wried nic, i can't plugin and get an ip, was working thismorning, but about an hour ago, it just lost it's connection, i unplugged and let wifi kick in, but i plug back in, get flashing lights, it's trying to connect but it fails... i don't know why... [13:06] peter77: ah ok [13:06] I've been through a lot of the tutorials and forum posts [13:07] peter77: sorry... mkdir /media/sda1 [13:07] this is really bad as i need my ethernic to work [13:07] DannyKing: Try restaring x ctrl-alt-backspace will do it. The driver might need to be loaded BEFORE xwindows starts to be available. [13:08] kitofhawaii, already created, I did mention I had ntfs working in the previous ubuntu release [13:08] tried restarting X with no luck, how can I try to load it before xwindows starts? [13:08] peter77: and it's empty? [13:08] aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [13:08] yep [13:08] peter77: does read-only mounting work with "mount"? [13:08] my windows shares are mapped to my samba hostname, and now the bloody window's box isn't able to connect to me :( [13:09] hi, i'm having trouble accessing /dev/video0 (owned by root). progs like camorama say they don't find my webcam UNLESS i start it with gksu. what's the deal? [13:09] pipit: do you have a support question? [13:09] ALO KOJ IMA N OVOJ KANAL A [13:09] ochosi: deal is, chmoding the device to 666 or sth [13:09] change th permisions on vvideo0 to allow you as normal user access, [13:10] AMA ZEMSKO D ASE PRIKLUCI AMA STO E ZENSKO NEKA SE KAZIT [13:10] damaltor: alright, didn't know i could actually chmod a device... [13:10] DannyKing: make sure that wacom is loaded i.e. lsmod | grep wacom shows that it is loaded. Then log out. When you are at the login screen do the ctrl-alt-backspace. The screen show go blank for a moment and then come back up. At that point the xserver will have restarted [13:10] i want to listen to radio1 online is there an alternative to realplayer that will let me do this? (i can use the wmp stream but not catchup) [13:10] ochosi: its just a file as well [13:10] :) [13:10] damaltor: so is this ownership (if i use chown) remembered if i disconnect and reconnect the webcam? [13:10] !mk | pupe [13:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about mk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:10] ochosi: think so, yes [13:10] try [13:11] * void^ stabs ubotu. [13:11] damaltor: alrighty, thanks a lot! [13:11] ochosi: if you disconnect the cam, is the file still there? [13:11] hey i was wondering if anyone knew how i would go about changing the default font size and such i am running gnome but the text is huge, can i change it in the X config somewhere? [13:11] peter77: do you have package libntfs-3g12 installed? i think i had to add it manually for gutsy [13:11] ochosi: then itll probably be rem'd [13:11] DannyKing: dmesg | grep -i wacom to see where the device shows up at [13:12] is here someone who have ati radeon xpress card and know how to activate the compiz effects ? or which effects i can use with my VGA.any ideas ? [13:12] Hello guys..does any1 know a nice distribution which works on a ibm 133Mhz 128MB but with a nice interface like xfce ? not damn small linux... thx ! [13:13] YgorSpain: you could have a try w/ xubuntu... but will be hard to do anything though :) [13:13] i want to install grub on "cdrom"..but load the linux from harddisk [13:13] I'm stuck: after Network Manager update, error: use dpkg --configure -a manually. But that hangs. What do I do? [13:13] can anyone give a hint?? [13:13] can I use apt-get to install fluxbox in ubuntu? [13:13] bloon1: yes. [13:14] bloon1: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [13:14] k [13:14] sweet [13:14] [damaltor]: yeah its going to be a laptop just to wash movies and music...

[13:14] DannyKing: grep -i wacom /var/log/XFree86.0.log look inside the XFree log and see what it says about the wacom driver loading. That was 5.4 on this page http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index.php/howto/all [13:14] YgorSpain: well why not damnsmall? [13:14] ochosi: ok thats a solution too :D [13:14] YgorSpain: looked at arch linux? [13:15] Breetai, hmm - restarting x dosn't help. I'm not sure it's a problem loading the module because the actual tablet interacts with the laptop (i.e. moves the cursor) but the gimp and inskcape can no longer see it. dmesg said that it's at /class/input/input3 [13:15] damaltor, what would be the command to mount a partition read only? [13:15] damaltor: so thanks, bye! [13:15] peter77: wait a sec [13:15] ochosi: np [13:15] YgorSpain: you can also make your own distro.. linux from scratch [13:15] Breetai, thanks for all the help by the way [13:15] peter77: think was just like usual... mount /dev/device /folder/target [13:16] kitofhawaii: arch requires a p2 [13:16] peter77: had no ntfs here for loong time =) [13:16] everything seems fine grepping through my xorg log (I don't have xfree) [13:16] peter77: itll correct you if not [13:16] nope, still giving the error message [13:16] peter77: could you post the error msg again?

[13:39] is there any way to put a password on a file so other ppl that may use my comp cat open it? [13:39] and it even may not affect the server performance [13:39] BrianB04: think i can help u [13:40] BrianB04: but wait a sec [13:40] damaltor: Sure thing, got time:) [13:40] Herbo: umm no [13:41] I installed kde just to try it, but how can I remove it? I did "apt-get remove kdesktop", but still its showing the kubuntu splash screen when I reboot.. [13:41] Herbo: ask yahoo or google or canonical about it see what they say [13:41] BrianB04: could you paste the file /etx/X11/xorg.conf to nopaste.com? [13:42] guys is there a difference (even if minilam) between installing a command-line system with the alternate CD and installing it from the server CD ? [13:42] minimal* [13:42] damaltor: Unfortunetly I'm at work, so I don't have a copy with me. [13:42] ah oh well [13:42] BrianB04: you will have to edit the file [13:42] WHich I have done before. But I didn't see anything unusual [13:43] BrianB04: you have to set color depth to 24 and you have to add the line >>Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP<< in the device section [13:44] damaltor: What does DFP stand for? [13:44] BrianB04: lost a " in the end of the line by asting [13:44] I figured. [13:44] BrianB04: if im honest i have no idea, but worked well on three pcs now [13:44] bloony, do this: sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-ubuntu [13:45] BrianB04: the "other" option of the line was CRT so i think it has something to do with screens [13:45] is there a way to turn off the window previews in the application switcher? (so there would be icons instead) [13:46] I think I read yesterday that I can put a .something file in my home directory to prevent XGL loading instead of xorg - how do I do that again? [13:46] guys is there a difference (even if minimal) between installing a command-line system with the alternate CD and installing it from the server CD ? [13:46] anyone a networking/ssh expert in here? [13:46] verb3k: k [13:46] lots of questions :) [13:46] damaltor: And that actually goes under the video card device section? [13:47] BrianB04: wait ill have a look [13:47] verb3k: i thought the alternate cd was the server cd === joerlend is now known as XiXaQ [13:47] You know though, that would make sense that it's just not sending it to the right type of monitor. Looks like it's used for twinview [13:48] IdleOne, no , the alternate also installs ubuntu Desktop [13:48] kitche, k what then ? [13:48] I have problems mounting my full disk: [13:48] Herbo: what? [13:48] BrianB04: sorry no, must be directly under DefaultDepth 24 [13:48] verb3k: I think you are confused. alternate install a cli system no GUI [13:48] using xserver it says :wrong fs ... [13:48] !alternate | verb3k [13:48] but can be done using command line [13:49] verb3k: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD.

[13:53] related to HAL? [13:53] IdleOne, there must be some small differences [13:53] Sharpie: I'm not sure of the actual plugin that controls it or you could just use gconf-editor to do it.

[14:04] My Sansa doesn't even work with Linux. [14:04] verb3k, yes [14:05] maybe it has something to do with the way linux handles folders and directories === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [14:05] BrianB04, there was somebody asking about Sansa yesterday, i think they had to change a setting on the player for the USB mode, can't remember the details, give me a minute & find what was said [14:05] I have the same problem ...when I create a folder on a flash drive , the folder is not visable to windows [14:06] verb3k, is there any good linux software for synchronizing my mp4 player with my computer? [14:06] romantik, I don't have an mp4 player so I can't help , sorry [14:07] anyone screening that has an mp4 player? [14:07] void^, you here? [14:09] anyone tried google desktop on ubuntu? I have a problem. [14:09] hello [14:09] yes, what do you need. [14:09] BrianB04, there was something said about changing the USB mode from either MSC to MTP mode do that Ubuntu would see it as a removable drive (it could be the other way round from MTP to MSC depending on whats its set as to start with) [14:10] zoli2k: I have used it before [14:10] dgjones, I guess you're talking to romantik , am I right? [14:11] e ae?? [14:11] verb3k, yes, looks like it, i also saw BrianB04's comment about their Sansa not working in Linux, thats what confused me [14:11] dgjones, i have the USB Mode set to MSC [14:11] k4k-shell, If I open preferences or any google desktop option from its menu it simply opens a blank page in the default browser. Changing default browser to opera or firefox doesn't change this behavior. [14:12] i can transfer files with an ease [14:12] dgjones: I don't know if the Views have that ability to tell the truth. The only mention I found of someone using it in Linux gave me a 404, so. [14:12] zoli2k: do you have a gmail account? [14:12] can anyone tell me where to get the plugin SnowGlobe mentioned here http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/compiz-fusion-community-news-for-decemeber-5-2007-keep-those-plugins-coming/ [14:12] hello can someone help me regarding wireless driver set ups [14:12] yes [14:12] k4k-shell: yes [14:12] !anyone | wazeem [14:12] wazeem: 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? [14:12] the problem i encounter is the appearance of pictures in the Photo section of my player [14:12] romantik & BrianB04, I haven't got one, so don't if it worked, but that seems to be the suggestion I've seen in a couple of google searchs [14:13] zoli2k: you should be able to login to your gmail account and look at the top of the page somewhere and see an option for "Desktop" that will set your preferences as well, that's where it takes you when you click preferences on the actual app [14:13] ok my ubuntu install can detect wireless networks but wont connect to any (when it should) [14:13] how can i fix this problem [14:13] wazeem: what wireless card do you have [14:14] i have a usb belkin adapter the cd that came with it has the rt2500 driver (or rather "system file" on it) [14:14] * genii sips a coffee [14:14] hello. How is it possible to open a .pptx file in linux? [14:14] i am baffled... there were some pictures on the player by default when i bought it... they were all listed in the player and correctly displayed... when i load my own pictures, they're not listed in the player... what could be wrong? [14:15] romantik: The only thing I can think is it's just the way Linux deals with files...or that that feature requires the Windows client to do it properly. [14:15] k4k-shell: There is no such link on my gmail page [14:16] BrianB04, so you're saying i can't have pictures on my device? [14:16] any ideas?

Do you have a windows machine anywhere nearby?

[15:07] mame_ if you mv it to KXXgdm then gdm shouldn't run on startup [15:07] annemarie: and the 2600n as working perfectly [15:07] would removing it via synaptic have the same effect? [15:08] Hey, maybe someon can answer this for me. I finally got my laptop to go into suspend when I close the lid, however, when it wakes back up, none of my network interfaces are active according to network-manager [15:08] mame_ if you want to boot to a command line investigate the run levels. They are different for ubuntu and suse so I can't tell you the specifics, but you just need to change the run level for bootup [15:08] annemarie: and the 2600n as working *mostly* [15:08] what's the difference between the desktop kernel and the server kernel in ubuntu ? [15:08] thor I have been and cant figure it out yet [15:08] how can I get MP3 support for Rhythmbox? I tried googling and found info on the forums, but it was from a couple years ago and the package they said to get no longer exists. [15:08] !mp3 | JerekDain [15:08] JerekDain: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:09] verb3k: likely the modules loaded on boot, I know that my ubuntu server loads a lot more modules at boot then my desktop does [15:09] Anyone able to help with a user permissions problem? [15:09] mame_ you want gdm not to start at boot time rigth? what do you want to run instead? [15:09] xstat I want to boot into advmenu [15:09] k4k-shell, you mean the desktop one is more minimal ? [15:09] mazatapec: Please just give your problem. If someone can help they will. :) [15:09] mame_ well, be very careful about changing the scripts in rc.d. I think if you investigate you will find they are symlinked to rc2.d or rc1.d...that is how they determine what gets started/killed in each run level [15:10] !anyone | mazatapec [15:10] mazatapec: 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? [15:10] verb3k: not so much more minimal as it just doesn't load the /same/ modules, like you don't need PHP and apache on a desktop, but you do on a swerver [15:10] mame_ my ubuntu computer is packed for shipping so I can't tell you specifics....running suse on this one [15:10] er...server* [15:10] verb3k: I can't really say for sure, I'm only going on assumption here [15:11] k4k-shell, thanks for the help [15:11] :) [15:11] swerver. i think that's a good name for our servers, as in "dev03 just swerved off the network again" [15:11] thanks, ubotu [15:11] I unchecked the "Administration Privileges" box in the System -> Administration -> Users and Groups for my only user account that I have. I have my root password but don't know how to get back to give the permissions back to my main user account. Now when I go to System -> Administration I can't even see the "Users and Groups" category. [15:11] well i just removed the gdm and will reboot [15:11] bb in a min [15:11] lol spoingie. Do you work for the same hosting company I do? [15:11] sproingie: LOL, good call [15:12] mazatapec: you enabled the root account? [15:12] hola [15:12] !es | andres1 [15:12] I have the root account password [15:12] andres1: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [15:13] I can get into the root account through the terminal, just don't know how to change permissions for my user account that way [15:13] mazatapec: then as root do 'adduser admin' [15:13] !root | mazatapec [15:13] mazatapec: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:14] Wow, that was very zen [15:14] mazatapec: enabling the root account is discuraged and no supported configuration [15:14] mazatapec: once youir user is in the admin group she will be able to use sudo to do everything [15:14] hello people anyone has successfuly installed kxdocker on kubuntu gutsy ?? [15:15] yo [15:15] erUSUL: That's how I had it originally, needed to go back to that, thanks :) [15:15] alexborsova: you have kxdocker installed??

[15:17] Yep, that fixed it, thank you erUSUL :) [15:17] i dualboot with windows xp....and apparently after 2 months of xp usage, it now comes to the conclusion (naturally without any reason or warning) that corrupting hal.dll is a great idea... [15:17] why? googling tells me that this happens if you dualboot... [15:18] "you cheating on me!?" [15:18] lol [15:18] haha [15:18] hi [15:19] i need some help with something [15:20] Verb3k - Thank you. That - so far - seems to have done the trick :-) [15:20] iSE, go somewhere and ask somebody [15:20] Iggz, good :) [15:20] iSE could help talking a bit more about it [15:20] holicow, i came here [15:20] was just readin the common questions [15:20] make sure im not askin somet thats been asked before [15:20] iSE, you made me happy :) [15:20] holicow, i like to please ;) [15:21] iSE, just ask your question, if somebody knows and is around, they'll answer you [15:21] ok, basically, i have a TV connected to my PC, i watch dvds n things n output it through my TV, meanwhile i can continue chattin, surfin the net etc etc with my monitor. [15:21] The problem [15:22] Is the sound [15:22] hi~I want to boot LFS livecd from my harddisk, I rewrite the menu.lst like this :kernel /boot/lfs/linux64 root=iso:/dev/sda4:/home/niufox/Iso/lfslivecd-x86_64-6.3-r2145.iso rw initrd /boot/lfs/initramfs_data64.cpio.gz .But it can't work~~~ [15:22] Normally i use xine, which allows me to configure my second soundcard to output to the TV [15:22] So i have my stereo plugged into my soundblaster, for listenin to music n general sounds [15:22] who can help me ? [15:23] How do I configure Totem movie using gstreamer to ouput its sound to the Realtek inbuilt soundcard? [15:23] which my tv is plugged into [15:23] niufox: what is your question? [15:23] hi~I want to boot LFS livecd from my harddisk, I rewrite the menu.lst like this :kernel /boot/lfs/linux64 root=iso:/dev/sda4:/home/niufox/Iso/lfslivecd-x86_64-6.3-r2145.iso rw initrd /boot/lfs/initramfs_data64.cpio.gz .But it can't work~~~ [15:23] ba [15:24] bazhang, hi~I want to boot LFS livecd from my harddisk, I rewrite the menu.lst like this :kernel /boot/lfs/linux64 root=iso:/dev/sda4:/home/niufox/Iso/lfslivecd-x86_64-6.3-r2145.iso rw initrd /boot/lfs/initramfs_data64.cpio.gz .But it can't work~~~ [15:24] iSE, great presentation ....but you sould wait for the answer (not from me) [15:24] niufox: linux from scratch? [15:24] bazhang, yes~ [15:24] niufox: a live cd should boot itself? [15:25] niufox: there perhaps is a lfs channel; this is #ubuntu :} [15:25] iSE: System->Preferences->Sound->Music and Movies [15:25] eracc, I know~ but I want to boot it from my harddisk~ [15:25] how do you install the screenlets on ubuntu [15:25] Question, given the noted issues with AMDs graphic drivers and Linux - I changed my 1600 back to a geforce 6200 - are there any moded AMD drivers you would recommend? [15:26] bazhang, I know~ but I use the ubuntu system ~ [15:26] iSE: sorry, that's not right, 1 sec [15:26] toodles, yes but i want the music n movies to go to two different soundcards. I want music to go through my soundblaster (default) as with all other sounds. I want JUST the movies, JUST totem to go through my inbuilt one [15:26] niufox: okay :} [15:26] How do i connect via Wi-Fi to a hidden network with a wep 128 ascii encryption where i have to select the channel to CH3? [15:26] I cud just change to using xine like i do with other KDE distros, but id rather use gstreamer as its the ubuntu way as it were === robeph_ is now known as robeph_asteriasg [15:27] bazhang, I just want to slove this question under the ubuntu os~ [15:27] iSE: I don't think that's possible because totem relies on gstreamer for it's settings. [15:28] can I install ubuntu on a mac [15:28] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/documentation.html might be a good place to start niufox [15:28] so can i not change the settings of gstreamer just for totem, or wud that effect the music [15:28] tattoo_: yes [15:28] real simple, i dont get a graphical login after installer ubuntu server 7.1, how can i get one? [15:28] tattoo_: intel or ppc? [15:28] installing* [15:29] how can i see my gpu's temp? (i can see it in nvidia-settings but i want something simple like hddtemp) [15:29] iSE: That would also effect your music. As far as I know it's just a single set of settings for gstreamer. [15:29] r3zon8: I'm guessing probably because the server install is a stripped installation and doesn't include an X server by default [15:29] iSE: let me just check something [15:29] bazhang, yes ~ I have print it . but ~ U know, I can't find any usefly info. [15:29] Hence why it's half the size of the desktop installer [15:29] intel [15:30] bazhang, I have also read it ~ [15:30] toodles, is there no way i can copy the gstreamer settings into a folder say $HOME/.totem n get totem to read from them instead of the general ones? === _Sisco is now known as Sisco [15:30] niufox: they do have their own irc channel as well--just a suggestion as I think it will elude most here (at least me) :} [15:30] hi, anyone has any experience connecting to internet trough motorola v3xx? Tutorial links appreciated, tnx === robeph_asteriasg is now known as robf[AsteriaSGI] [15:31] bazhang, ok~ thanks a lot ~~~ [15:31] tattoo_: dual boot or wipe os x [15:31] you are a kind man~ [15:31] addendum, my wifi is a broadcom btw [15:31] any kxdocker user here ???? [15:31] b4d: that a cellphone? [15:31] iSE: just checking now [15:32] i want to wipe os x [15:32] toodles, thanx it is appreciated [15:32] bazhang: yes [15:32] b4d: have the precise model number? === apecat_ is now known as apecat [15:32] bazhang: razr v3xx [15:32] n/a yet [15:33] toodles, i spend ages configuring xorg.conf to as per usual to get it configured correctly the way i want it, but now its just the sound, somet i've never had a problem with before. I can always change totem to use xine, im just curious if its actually possible in gstreamer [15:33] tattoo_: you can use the x86 iso; though you should do some reading first--www.ubuntu-tutorials.com is a good place to start [15:33] a friend ask because he seen my ubuntu on the this machine [15:34] b4d: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343989&page=11 [15:35] tattoo_: the one area to watch out for will be wireless--is this a laptop? [15:35] iSE: I understand. I've looked though the man pages and gconf settings for totem and can't find anything on it. I guess for now you'll have to use xine/mplayer/vlc. I believe that the sound system is being changed for hardy (ubuntu 8.04) and will allow more advanced behaviour. [15:35] yes [15:35] bazhang: thx, I'll take a look [15:35] hi there again [15:35] b4d: no worries :} [15:35] is there anything to setup to get crontab working properly? [15:35] after rebooting and not getting anything to work in the FB of the system I am getting frustrated. [15:36] in gutsy gibbon [15:36] mame_ are you still trying to boot to a command prompt? [15:36] tattoo_: then that link I showed you upthread will be a good place to look first [15:36] where do i find a decent antivirus for ubuntu? [15:36] thank you [15:36] is it neccessary anyway [15:36] ? [15:36] !virus | arbri [15:36] arbri: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [15:37] toodles, thankyou for ur help. Im just going to install totem with the xine backend. is there much difference between gstreamer n xine newayz? or is it just a case of personal preference? [15:37] iSE: In case you're interested in reading up on it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/CleanupAudioJumble [15:37] thnx [15:37] arbri: are you running a mail server with windows machines? [15:37] no just [15:37] ubuntu [15:37] toodles, thanx i'll take a look now [15:37] arbri: then probably not necessary [15:37] dont i risk getting infected [15:38] Doesnt ubuntu use the inittab? [15:38] how not to install linux: http://www.start.no/tegneserier/m/mstriper/m20071206.gif [15:38] haha [15:38] arbri: you should read that link upthread [15:38] ok thn [15:38] x [15:38] hey is there a way to bridge two broandband connection with ubuntu with two NIC's to improve bandwidth? [15:39] sudobash nope...don't think that will work [15:39] sudobash: if you find out, please report here :} seems unlikely though [15:40] What about bridge-utils? [15:40] sudobash besides...you will never reach full i/o on your broadband connection as it is...there are almost always bottlenecks downstream [15:40] hi. How come, in my gutsy gibbon system, there's nothing in /proc/bus/usb, even though I have a usb device attached? [15:41] but its two seperate ISP's [15:41] ADSL and COMCAST [15:41] Aroo? [15:41] Yea, on that end no I got nothing [15:41] maybe OpenBSD could do it? [15:41] cens0red: To see your attached devices type: lsusb [15:42] hi, i have an hal problem with kubuntu: i cannot eject cd nor mount keys with kio and hal is running [15:42] sudobash: unlikely, but please tell us if you succeed [15:42] distro: gutsy [15:42] ok [15:42] sudobash for a single isp I know bridge-utils is what you need. For dual isps I honestly have nothing and that honestly sounds insane [15:42] sudobash and how are you going to get the other end (wherever it is) to split the data into two streams addressed to two IPs? [15:43] yeah true [15:43] Update Manager gives me this: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [15:43] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I tried that, but machine hangs. [15:43] toodles it's harder than that, because I have to find some way to link them, as with this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122#head-b1eaf5e95be3998a41e9de3f88cfc809648ba15c [15:43] you would need and app the utilizes both Bandwidths seperatly [15:44] cens0red: try /dev/bus/usb [15:45] toodles ty. [15:45] sudobash: the problem with what you are wanting to do is this. You would have two different ip addresses requesting the same information. Therefore the receiving end would be handling two requests and therefore giving two sets of data. You would ultimately not experience a bandwidth increase because each nic would be receiving the same amount of data (ie a full download) and would then have to somehow figure out how to merge all that informa [15:45] hi, does anyone know how to fix this gnome-panel bug the one where it has dotted lines around menu panel? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=525380 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308632 [15:46] How do i connect via Wi-Fi to a hidden network with a wep 128 ascii encryption where i have to select the channel to Channel 3? its a broadcom device Ive read a guide, so i got the drivers installed, but i cant seem to get connection to the network entering the code, it just goes trying to connect and then abbandons it, and reverts back to the rj 45 conection [15:46] so write an app that decides which NIC to use for Which connections depending on what ports connection and bandwidth needs [15:46] Calibre: I'm only curious, what happens when you press Tab? Do the dotted lines move? [15:47] where can i download firefox 1.5 for speed on my machine? [15:47] #linux says its possible [15:48] toodles: nope, dotted lines stay.

[16:03] I dont get any error [16:03] Calibre: it's probably on their IRC server [16:03] Firefox is waiting [16:03] Calibre: iirc irc.gimp.org [16:03] guillaume__: and never times out? [16:03] gordonjcp: ty :) [16:03] i hate people that don't read.... [16:03] try it: www.arxtechcanada.com [16:03] SMACK* [16:03] No [16:04] Hi any there know Mercury IM? [16:04] guillaume__: it's either broken or very slow for me, too [16:04] other machine on the same local network [16:04] Ax3, no need to be rude [16:04] Kinda need to configuere so it says a sound when people writes [16:04] Very fast on other machine [16:04] guillaume__: looks like the server isn't serving [16:04] but why it pingÉ [16:04] ? [16:04] and maybe a pop when people are login on... [16:04] Ax3: you should love them. great consultants know how to use a help file, customers don't :) [16:04] lusepuster, im far from being rude, unless we hail from completely different cultural backgrounds... [16:05] I've diabled Ipv6 in firefox [16:05] the man pages are the repository of all human knowledge [16:05] guillaume__: just because it can respond to ping, doesn't mean it's actually running an http server ;-) [16:05] changed tcp window scaling to 0 [16:05] kitofhawaii, agreed [16:05] No. When I try to drag nothing happens. Also right click does not bring up configure. [16:05] but why windows or mac can acces it [16:06] guillaume__: mac can't access that server, either [16:06] http://xkcd.com/294/ <--- What happens when you don't rtfm [16:06] realy? [16:06] not a lot of people is having this trouble [16:06] whoops, wrong one [16:06] guillaume__: not from here... [16:06] kitofhawaii, this place should really be stop number 3 for people, 1) man pages 2) ubuntuforums.org or google 3) #ubuntu heh [16:06] i have google analytic on this web site [16:06] guillaume__: I suspect you've got dodgy routing somewhere [16:06] and on windows machin can access the stats [16:07] Ax3: stop four imo; first should be teh google [16:07] dodgy? [16:07] http://xkcd.com/293/ = read the man pages [16:07] bazhang, well you get the general idea ^^ [16:07] Ax3: Ithink the issue was that I was doing rar -a instead of simply rar a [16:07] Ax3: yup :} [16:08] komputes, yea rar would have shown you that... lol ^^ [16:09] what does it mean dodgy? [16:09] bouncy? [16:09] guillaume__: it means somewhat troublesome [16:09] lol yea "not good" [16:09] anyone with windows here can access www.arxtechcanada.com [16:09] or www.ceradyna.com [16:09] komputes: yah a lot of the older commands have some interesting command lines...but Ax3 has a point, man pages are the best places (though the rar man isn't all that good in my opinion) [16:10] kitofhawaii: Ax3: yeah, I spend 30 minutes on man page before coming here, but thanks for the help [16:10] OPTIONS [16:10] After the program name comes a command and then optional switches with dashes [16:10] before them. [16:10] lol it's cleary there, that's all im saying :p [16:11] it is possible to make script start running once someone logs in, say in the .profile? [16:11] pegger: yes why not? [16:11] Anyone know how to enable menubar and hide join/quits in LostiRC? [16:11] kitofhawaii: I know tar is recommended over RAR, but it's just for compatibility/standardization [16:11] Ax3: true, but with rar you don't use dashes for the major op's :) [16:13] erUSUL: you fimilar with the script command, I want it to start running once a user logs in, I am not tyring to do somethign evil, it is just a contractor I want to see how the install is done [16:13] lusepester. no it does not react at all. [16:14] fg [16:14] kitofhawaii, major ops are in this case called commands, so the docs are correct, you don't need dashes correct, only for additional options [16:14] does anybody know how to disable spell check in pidgin? it's driving me nuts, and no one on the forum answered [16:14] how can I confirm that is not my machine the problem [16:15] anoneknewmoose: it should be under plugins in the buddy list [16:15] why can i get this to work [16:16] hy all [16:16] hi [16:16] Ax3: aye...but you'd admit you're more tech savvy than most as well, so be happy you can understand that first read, while others can't all i'm saying :) [16:16] Ax3: what should i do next [16:17] hi how you repiar tcp/ip in ubuntu [16:17] kitofhawaii, hehe [16:18] ray_: what's not working? [16:18] hi how you repir the tcp/ip in ubuntu [16:18] what's not working guillaume__ [16:18] kit tcp/ip i need to repirt it [16:18] how do i in ubuntu [16:18] Access the web site [16:18] thanks [16:18] on windows to get here to ask [16:18] hi all. how do I to know if my shript was acepted? [16:19] that very strange [16:19] ray_: as in replace the stack? is it not getting an address? [16:19] kit yes [16:19] i've tried so many things [16:19] as in repair it as windows user call it [16:19] disable ipv6 [16:19] safe mode on FF [16:19] any hints for debugging a dpkg failure? [16:19] routing issue with your ISP? [16:20] dpkg.log says "half-installed" then "not installed" [16:20] kit still with me [16:20] ray_: *scratching head a bit* i guess i'm not quite sure how things are breaking so much [16:20] kit o ok [16:20] ray_: in windows, i know right click repair, but that basically flushes the information and reconnects. it sounds like you have a worse issue [16:20] kit you know how to repair the tcp/ip in ubuntu [16:20] and "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-player_1.0.2-2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 10" [16:20] i feel like we're talking to bots sometimes [16:20] lol... [16:21] i followed
