[00:00] Hmmm, I for some reason can't resize my partition. :/ [00:00] ah [00:00] Darius08x: Is it mounted? [00:00] i've used ubuntu [00:00] achtung, but if you want to chat #ubuntu+1 is very active [00:00] !offtopic [00:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:00] ok [00:00] achtung, err #ubuntu-offtopic [00:00] I just recently got done doing chckdsk /f about 49738 times in windows and finally got rid of some stupid error. But when I finalyl went to resize it..it just says it can't do it. [00:01] but i still use windows because of lack of native linux games [00:01] Uhhh, hold on, dunno. xD [00:01] does anyone use phpmyadmin? [00:01] !games | achtung [00:01] achtung: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:01] Darius08x,you can'T resize a live partiton, if you want to resize your ubuntu part you need to use the live cd, use the 7.04 one or earlier the gutsy one is buggy for that [00:01] ok [00:01] olá pessoal [00:01] !br | pri [00:01] I am brazilian [00:01] !pt [00:01] pri: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:02] Ah, I'm using 7.10 So I have to go and download 7.04 or something? ): [00:02] Darius08x: or the gparted livecd.. that always works great.. [00:02] !gparted [00:02] GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [00:02] Darius08x, just get gparted livecd [00:02] hello astro [00:02] Didn't work either JAck. :/ [00:02] Darius08x, you can try with 7.10 , but be warned [00:02] Pelo: thanks anyhow. [00:03] Oh, is gparted livecd diffrent then the gparted that comes on the 7.10 cd somehow? [00:03] hey everyone. i can't seem to get my sound working properly. the speakers are fine (i hear system beeps and whatnot) and i seem to have sound working in totem but there's no sound from firefox (youtube, etc.) and no sound from skype. any ideas? [00:03] Can anyone asit me with the phpmyadmin i just installed on ubunutu server? [00:03] Darius08x: yes.. it is different.. stand alone... nice gui [00:03] Darius08x, gparted live cd is another cd from the gparted ppl, ubuntu live cd is from canonical and is a complete os [00:03] so if i cant talk here [00:03] can i just hang around? [00:04] achtung, yes [00:04] k [00:04] any hints on how to force a package installation when app manager says it's not supported on my hardware (I doubt thunderbird won't run on i386 :))? [00:04] achtung: feel free to watch and learn.. [00:04] hello boys [00:04] * IndyGunFreak highly recommends GParted Live.. Or PartedMagic... take your pick [00:04] Oh, okay, guess I'll try that in a second. [00:04] vee, there aren't always ppl around that know about everytype of issue, you might want to give #networking a try for this question or even ##linux [00:04] pelo thanx [00:04] vee: what do you need help with? [00:04] So, it seems that at random, I got 100% CPU usage.... and it stays at that level till I restart. [00:05] Downlaoding it now, hope that works. [00:05] downloading [00:05] xTheGoat121x, got some java app working ? [00:05] Darius08x: much faster dl than a full desktop cd.. [00:05] DrUnKnMuNkY cant get to it using http://localhost/phpmyadmin is this the wrong way to get to it? [00:05] I need help with My install please [00:05] xiven, we need specific questions [00:05] Yup. [00:06] xiven whats the problem? [00:06] It won't get internet [00:06] pelo... nope. The only things that would be running are python apps... screenlets, to be exact... and I've already narrowed it down, not then. [00:06] vee: did you install it using apt-get or some other package manager or manually? [00:06] It gets an IP, but no internet [00:06] Windows works fine.. [00:06] DrUnKnMuNkY sudo get-apt install phpmyadmin [00:06] does anyone know what this header is a part of: openglwidget.h [00:06] I have a wired connection to a router, with a wired connection to the modem. The modem has a wireless connection to the ISP [00:06] I've finished my English final essay. [00:06] yay. [00:06] \0/ [00:07] xTheGoat121x, you are confusing me, when you get 100% cpu , open a terminal and type top, see what process is on top of the list [00:07] xiven open up System>Network [00:07] btw [00:07] I'm actually on ubuntu right now (I have NO idea what version put it on my laptop a little while ago) Does it come with any .iso burning stuffs. Or would it probably just be easier for me to but it on a usb drive and burn it from windows? [00:07] vee: i'm assuming you have apache installed on the machine. open a terminal and type cd /var/www. do you see anything called phpmyadmin? === orangePnut[] is now known as orangePnut [00:07] has the problem with ubuntu killing laptop hard drives been fixed? [00:07] DrUnKnMuNkY yes i do... ap2... lemme try that [00:07] achtung: that isnt really like being quiet and reading along [00:07] Darius08x you running gnome? [00:07] can somebody tell me how to log out from superusers powers, (instead of waiting 15 mins)? [00:07] heheheh [00:07] i know [00:07] Pelo, that's the thing. there's nothing listed in top that's eating CPU cycles... it just seems to be unrelated to ANYthing [00:08] Darius08x, yes you can right clic k and burn to cd, but I prefer gnomebaker myself for that , just sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [00:08] why in the world is firefox slow in Ubuntu 7.10? [00:08] xTheGoat121x, try with sudo top , might bring up more processes [00:08] DrUnKnMuNkY no such dir. [00:09] DrUnKnMuNkY under /etc i see it [00:09] I have opened System.NEtwork like 9 times [00:09] vee: what is your root apache directory? [00:09] unikon, might have to do with how many plugins you have [00:09] jacob__: sudo -K whould do it. [00:09] But, what do you want me to do? [00:09] does anybody konw why ubuntu is shutting down (or hibernating or suspending, i'm not sure which of the three is doing), all of a suden? i thought i was pressing some key combinations but i realized it was doing it by itself too.. [00:09] Pelo, I don't mean to be difficult, but I've tried that. [00:09] rob_p: thx [00:09] jacob__: welcome === broady81_ is now known as broady81 [00:09] * Pelo thinks xTheGoat121x is just goating him [00:09] DrUnKnMuNkY /var/www/apache2-default [00:09] ticky: an overheat maybe? [00:09] DrUnKnMuNkY thats it right? [00:10] kitche: i don 't think so. the funs are not loud. [00:10] xTheGoat121x, could it be the display that is wrong ? is your system behaving as if is it using 100% cpu & [00:10] does anybody know why when i try to download the dota map, it doesnt show up when i play with it using wine? [00:10] ? [00:10] xiven you have to find where the network system window is to see if the settings are correct [00:10] is there a log where i can check the signals / messages? [00:10] vee: just /var/www is the root of the webserver folder. type this command while in /var/www: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin [00:10] kitche: fans not funs [00:11] ticky: that doesn't mean anything could still be an overheating problem [00:11] Pelo, now THAT sounds like a very good possibility! In top and sudo top, nothing shows as chewing up 100% CPU, but in gnome-system-monitor, it shows 100% CPU usage w/o any apps eating that much CPU [00:11] kitche: how can i check that then? [00:11] anybody here play wc3 dota on wine? [00:12] rob_p: that didn't work [00:12] Maybe you guys would know about a common problem with Clearwire internet and Ubuntu [00:12] ticky: just have to watch your sensors [00:12] but i don'tthink it is that. it is not powering down like if there was a black out. it is shutting down like if i have chosen it [00:12] xTheGoat121x, in system-monitor when you turn it on , the sys-mon itself does take quite a bit of cpu to get running , but it tends to go up and down for a while [00:12] jacob__: Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do. [00:12] ticky: yes some systems will powerdown like a shutdown [00:12] rob_p: i want to graphically log out from superuser powers [00:12] kitche: you mean phisically, or in some program in the computer [00:12] Pelo, alas, it's not just with system mon. [00:12] *reading* [00:13] ticky: well program lm-sensors [00:13] jacob__: You mean you logged in graphically as root? [00:13] xTheGoat121x, there is a pannel app you can use to monitor your cpu and mem and a bunch of otehr suff that you can basicaly ahve on all the time, that might give you a better idea === miguillo is now known as miguillo_a [00:13] kitche: installing it right now [00:13] xTheGoat121x, sensors-applet might need to apt-get it first [00:13] DrUnKnMuNkY ok i did that... what did that do... and i see a bunch files listed [00:14] Pelo, all right. I'll look into it [00:14] any other idea? [00:14] rob_p, I think he means that when you type in your password (e.g. synaptic) the system will still have you as root for a couple of minutes [00:14] * Pelo needs some junk to much on , later folks [00:14] vee: that creates a symbolic link in your apache directory to the phpmyadmin directory. try going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin now [00:15] Jupp2: Yeah. That's what I thought initially too. If that's the case, "sudo -K" should have forced an expire of sudo privs. [00:15] anybody here have wc3 dota working? [00:15] anyone knows if lineag2 can run on ubuntu some way? unreal engine2 support? [00:15] DrUnKnMuNkY doesnt work === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV [00:15] rob_p: i loged in as the main and only user i have in the system, i want to grant access to superuser powers, but how can i log out of it so i can have standard powers [00:15] dota sucks!!!! [00:15] ugh [00:15] asdsadasd: check wine appdb or cedega's if you want to pay a few bucks to get a good working system sicne their cvs doesn't run [00:15] DrUnKnMuNkY did i install it wrong? [00:16] i cant get any downloaded maps on wc3 to work === asdsadasd is now known as [n00b]Shadow [00:16] billy: then you most likely have them in the wrong spot but that's more of a wc3 problem then a ubuntu one [00:16] well i duno where to put them to get them to work with wine [00:17] so im just wondering if anybody has them working in here [00:17] billy: try asking in #winehq [00:17] rob_p: do you know how to do that? [00:17] im banned :( [00:17] jacob__: If you are logged in as the normal user, you don't have super user access without using sudo (or gksu, gksudo, etc.) before whatever you want to run with super user privs. [00:17] billy: Somehow, I am not surprised [00:17] hi there, if i want to delete a protected folder how do i do in command pls? [00:17] billy: in the wc3 folder under ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ or whereverer wc3 is installed to [00:17] kitche: i cannot make it run, i have run sensors-detect and i still get "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are." when i run `sensors` [00:17] i have the map placed into the maps folder, but it doesnt show up when i play [00:17] eyemean: use sudo for cli or gksudo for gui apps [00:18] vee: i'm not sure. i just installed it using apt-get and it worked fine out of the box. try completely removing it and installing it again. sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin and sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [00:18] 7.10 install, hp dv600 with nvidia card, the machine just hangs on a black screen, probably X, what could one do to get it running? [00:18] rob_p: i understand that, but how can i log out after i type (gksu, sudo, etc) [00:18] how do i get unbanned from winehq? [00:19] vee: you may also want to reinstall apache2 in a similar manner [00:19] rob_p: grant persmission as a normal user after granting superuser powers [00:19] billy: depends on what you did.. but that is all offtopic for this room [00:19] kk [00:19] DrUnKnMuNkY i am running 7.10 server edition and installed LAMP i the beginning of the install [00:19] where can i get the messages for my system to find out why it shut down for the last time? [00:19] DrUnKnMuNkY then today i used apt-get to put phpmyadmin on.... was it on already an i double installed? [00:20] BRB [00:20] jack_sparrow, sorry but im new to linux, can u pls give example if i want to delete , say /opt/hvirtual [00:20] you would use sduo for root priv then the rm command to remove the item [00:20] jacob__: If you used sudo, then you can force an expire of the session by issuing, "sudo -k" at the command prompt. [00:20] !rm [00:20] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:21] Hallo [00:21] ticky:/var/log/syslog [00:21] thanks pezz31 [00:21] eyemean: you can do... hold your breath... gksudo nautilus ... then exit nautilus asap [00:22] jacob__: after you used sudo once, all the other commands you run (that don't include the command "sudo") will still be run as a normal user [00:22] rob_p: that didn't do it, i can still access the network settings in the gnome desktop environment [00:22] hello. I have a little battery pb ; It doesn't charge and the "acpi" command replies : "Battery 1 Charged, 0%" ; any idea? [00:23] what is a must have security software for linux? in your opinion? tripwire? [00:23] jacob__: that is a convenience feature. it will remember your sudo password/session for 15 minutes and will automatically expire. All other commands and applications you use however will still run as a normal user. [00:23] vee: go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [00:23] friendlys: no since tripwire can actually mess up the system it's installed on horribly [00:23] friendlys: wHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM? [00:23] vee: what files are listed in this directory? [00:23] friendlys: Sorry for the caps [00:24] jacob__: gnome's network settings automatically use sudo to grant superuser privileges that expire [00:24] DrUnKnMuNkY im in the dir. [00:24] pelo currently i have 15 plug ins [00:24] DrUnKnMuNkY only 000-default is in there [00:24] vee: open 000-default [00:24] DrUnKnMuNkY ok [00:25] * KTrigger is away: food and beer... necessities [00:25] DrUnKnMuNkY what am i looking for? [00:25] vee: what is listed beside DocumentRoot? === ConstyXIV_ is now known as ConstyXIV [00:26] DrUnKnMuNkY /var/www/ [00:26] vee: ok. try reinstalling phpmyadmin i don't see why it wouldn't work [00:26] DrUnKnMuNkY ok lemme try that [00:27] jacob__: to remove privileges run "sudo -k" in the gnome run dialog (so it runs in the gnome env, not your new terminal environment that you get in a term) === noraf is now known as jman [00:27] <_mastro_> hi all.. i've ubuntu feisty with ati proprietary driver (almost last ones)... i've installed compiz fusion "just for fun" but keep it disabled by default.... when i log in compiz fusion is enabled then after a while (some second) it shutdown itself and metacity come up again.. automatically! can you help me understanding what launch compiz entering gnome? [00:27] jacob__: I think that's alt-F2 by default [00:27] vee: once it's installed check in /var/www for anything that says phpmyadmin. i've gotta head out but all i have is a link linking to /usr/share/phpmyadmin. that should be all you see in /var/www [00:27] DrUnKnMuNkY after i purge do exit then restart terminal [00:27] <[Neurotic]> Hi, does anyone know what *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', error message would refer to when compiling a kernel? I assume I am just missing a package? [00:27] vee: shouldn't need to [00:28] ok [00:28] thannnnx === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:28] Why is it that my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file has _no_ ip addresses in it? [00:28] What is going on ? [00:28] vee: I didn't hear the beginning of this, but phpmyadmin is installed not in /var/www and the config is in /etc/apache2/conf.d [00:28] its replaced with some gibbereish [00:28] jsoftw: have you ssh'd as your user to other machines? [00:29] kelsin just purged it! [00:29] kelsin: how can i access the gnome run dialog [00:29] kelsin: yes I have. [00:29] jsoftw: because that's the way that it's suppose to look [00:29] jacob__: I just said I think it's alt-F2 by default [00:29] kitche: no its not . [00:29] it encrypts the hosts jsoftw [00:29] oh sorry [00:29] i missed that [00:29] kitche: no no, there are no _IP_ addresses. [00:29] jacob__: I've keybinded mine, but I'm pretty sure that's it [00:29] I realize there is supposed to be a dsa key and all that, but in ubuntu there is no ip address. [00:30] jsoftw: want me to show you my file from freebsd I have no ip addresses in that file either [00:30] Anyone wanna help me with gparted livecd thing? [00:30] kelsin when I install it do i have to be in a certain directory? [00:30] kitche: :\ [00:30] jsoftw: yeah that's what ubuntu does, encrypsts the whole thing [00:30] kitche: are you _sure_ about that? [00:30] vee: when you install phpmyadmin from the package? [00:30] Darius08x, are you in the live cd now ? [00:30] kelsin: ubuntu is the only thing I have ever seen it happen with [00:30] kelsin yes [00:30] Yeah, an the very first screen. [00:30] I'm having an issue with /dev/sdb. Unknown file system, and I cant repartition it :( [00:30] kelsin using terminal [00:30] It wants me to choose which version I guess. [00:30] Darius08x, use my nick in each so I know you are talking to me [00:31] Darius08x, a verson of what ? [00:31] Pelo: Ok, sorry [00:31] jack-sparrow, cheers gksudo nautilus did the trick, i see wat u mean by hold ur breath, hahaha [00:31] vee: then no, apt-get installs where it needs to no matter where you are when you run it [00:31] Darius08x: tab will complete the nick you want to talk to [00:31] kelsin: show me the first part of a line out of known_hosts from freebsd then. [00:31] jacob__: I just tried it. Apparently it only works when invoking sudo from the command line, not graphically. Not sure why. [00:31] kelsin sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin .... do i have to cd/ swtich into the dir. i want it in??? [00:31] kelsin thanx [00:31] Pelo: It's listing things like Gparted-liveCD 0.3.4-10-beta (auto-config) and all sorts of stuff like that [00:31] kelsin im installing it now and will let ya know what happend [00:31] eyemean: It is a huge bloated program and can be dangerous to your permissions and is unforgiving if you make a mistake. [00:31] Darius08x, the live cd boot menu should show you stuff like star/install , oem mode and stuff like that [00:32] Darius08x, is this the ubuntu live cd or the gparted cd ? [00:32] Pelo: gparted. [00:32] gparted has a live cd? [00:32] eyemean: You might consider thunar as an alternate file manager.. lighter etc [00:32] devyes [00:32] like bash [00:32] :p [00:32] devyes [00:32] Darius08x, I've never seen that one, just pick the highest nuber that is not a beta taht would be my guess [00:32] vee: no it installs to the same place regardless of where you are [00:33] help, how come after uninstalling wine .. and removing the .wine folder ... its still visible under "all applications"?????? anyone? thx [00:33] jack-sparrow, yeah i wont be using gksudo nautilus much, hahaha, will give thunar a try [00:33] kelsin i installed it but dont see it in /var/www [00:33] dev_noob, gparted as a cd, don't know it if is live but yuo can boot from it , no idea if it is gui [00:33] probabaly is [00:33] vee: I just said when I joined this convo it installs somwhere else and the config for it is in /etc/apache2/conf.d [00:33] eyemean: it works, but I hate to give that command without a word of caution.. hope you understand [00:33] help, how come after uninstalling wine .. and removing the .wine folder ... its still visible under "all applications"?????? anyone? thx [00:33] Pelo: Now it's asking me to select a keymap. o.o [00:33] vee: "dpkg -L phpmyadmin" to see where it placed files [00:33] Pelo: NEver mind about that. xD [00:33] Darius08x, keymap is yoru keyboard type [00:34] kelsin k... lemme type it [00:34] * Pelo will kick Darius08x if he asks about selecting a language [00:34] Pelo: Thanks I figured it out as soon as I was done typing it. xD [00:34] Pelo: Do I want english?

[00:36] billy: I told you what you need to do [00:36] Darius08x, then find the partiton you need to resize and right click, should be self explanatory, apply after each command is my recommendation [00:36] Pelo: it is similar, [00:36] kelsin: you mean reinstalling wine???? [00:36] Ok, I just clicked resize/move, and resized it to half it's original size. Now I've got "An error occurred while applying the operations" [00:37] kelsin and etc/phpmyadmin [00:37] :/ [00:37] whabo: no "sudo apt-get purge wine" does not install it, it purges which means removes the packge including any files marked as config files [00:37] Darius08x, any info on what the error is ? [00:37] vee: there you go [00:37] kelsin: i have the map downloaded, and its in my wine c: drive in the maps folder, but when i try to play the game, the map doesnt show up [00:37] Darius08x, what FS is this partition you want to rezise ?

[00:39] Pelo: smaller [00:39] kelsin: yes warIII has the newest patch [00:40] Darius08x, are you tring to make it smaller then the size need for the data on it ? if you get my meaning [00:40] * Pelo is embarassed about his last sentence [00:40] Pelo: Trying to dual boot it and ubuntu [00:40] Pelo: No. :p [00:40] Darius08x, how much data is on the ntfs drive ? [00:40] Darius08x, never mind the last one [00:41] i just had a wierd untitled, empty window pop up on my screen. how can i figure out what it s? [00:41] Pelo: okey [00:41] Darius08x, boot back xp run a scandisk and then run defrag twice at least, then try the gparted cd again [00:41] when i focus it, it shows whatever is behind it [00:41] er, what was behind it at the time, actually [00:41] I've already done chkdsk /f and defraged a BUNCH of times. [00:41] vee: did you restart apache? and choose the right apache version when you installed phpmyadmin? [00:42] Darius08x, ok , still in gparted ? [00:42] I was getting some cluster error thing and that got fixed. But now it won't resize. [00:42] Yes. I am. [00:42] vee: (restarting apache shouldn't be a problem, but it might have screwed up somehow) [00:42] kelsin no, and I choose apache 2... as i think thats the version that comes with u.server 7.10 [00:42] Darius08x, refresh the gparted view, I know that in 7.04 it would occasionnaly tell you there was an error but it would still do the job [00:42] vee: you have the myphp conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d correct? [00:43] kelsin lemme check [00:43] ... Now my mouse isn't working [00:43] vee: and you don't have any other websites that overight the alias? you can try disabling all sites in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder [00:43] Darius08x, reboot the cd [00:43] Pelo: I am. [00:43] billy: don't know what to tell you :-( works for me just fine, try putting it into the downloads folder inside maps just in case that matters [00:44] Darius08x, the only other thing I can suggest, would be to backup your xp data, whipe the hdd make two partition install xp on one and then install ubu on the other [00:44] kelsin i see charset in that directory [00:44] kelsin: when i make the downloads folder, it doesnt even show up [00:44] kelsin no other sites [00:44] bleh. So just reformat completly. And before installing either go ahead and resize it? [00:44] pelo: how do I run a terminal as root? [00:44] vee: did you just hit enter over apache2 when installing phpmyadmin or did you hit space so the * appeared next to apache2 then selected [00:45] !sudo [00:45] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [00:45] vee: if you don't know then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin" to do it again [00:45] narothepharoh, you donT run terminal as root you run commands with sudo [00:45] billy: try making "Downloads" [00:45] i had it highlighted red, then hit enter [00:45] kelsin: ok [00:45] kelsin look above [00:45] Darius08x, that was a last ditch way to do it , if you can't manage to resize [00:45] billy: if that doesn't work go and join a b.net game to make war make the folder then place your map in it [00:46] !root > narothepharoh check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:46] vee: make sure to hit space to make the * appear, run that dpkg-reconfigure command and do it again [00:46] kelsin ok [00:46] kelsin: kk i got it to work, thanks a lot [00:46] hi [00:46] billy: was it "Downloads"? [00:46] hello fenris [00:47] kelsin: no it was that i copied the folder with the game, and i put it else where, and i thought the maps were in there, but then it was in the original folder [00:47] billy: ok didn't understand that at all, but glad you got it working [00:48] i'm getting empty untitled windows popping up on my screen at random. can anyone help? [00:48] ok where might i find info about specifically putting ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386 onto a flash drive so that i can boot it live and fix some partitions? === T1m0thy_ is now known as T1m0thy [00:48] tanath, are you sure you are using ubuntu and not windows ? [00:49] MikeyMike: I gave you the link in the other channel [00:49] i was told to go to pendrivelinux but is there something on ubuntu's website? [00:49] Hi there. [00:49] Pelo, lol, funny === Drac[Away] is now known as Draconicus [00:49] Jack_Sparrow, is there something on ubuntu's website that tells me how? [00:49] tanath, did you put anything in crontab ? [00:49] i'll check out pendrivelinux.com [00:49] kelsin YOU GOT IT..... i got to eager and didnt bother pressing ... ok now how do you get the user and pass for it? [00:49] !installing | MikeyMike [00:49] MikeyMike: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues [00:49] thanks kelsin [00:50] they looked about the right size/shape for amsn chat windows, so i thought it was that, but it didn't go away when i closed it [00:50] vee: it's whatever user and password you setup for mysql [00:50] Pelo, nope [00:50] tanath: do you have effects enabled? [00:50] hm, i have a dualcore cpu, shouldn't /proc/cpuinfo report two cpus? [00:50] tanath, any info in them or just blank windows ? [00:50] I upgraded to Gutsy, and then mpg321 stopped working... [00:50] Jack_Sparrow, using CF [00:50] Any ideas? [00:50] vee: I think ubuntu's default is root/password [00:50] at least it did some time ago [00:50] tanath: I got that when I ran a kde app in ubuntu with compiz running [00:50] Pelo, no, they show what was on the screen behind the window at the time of appearance [00:50] Draconicus, reinstall from synaptic [00:50] MikeyMike: that first link has a "Without CD" section that I think explains it [00:50] Jack_Sparrow, not running any kde apps at the moment [00:50] Same with mpg123 [00:50] kelsin, ok thank you [00:51] Pelo: Thought as much. >.> [00:51] tanath: if you turn off effects the problem goes away? [00:51] Jack_Sparrow, wasn't really doing anything in particular except using epiphany [00:51] tanath, try turning off compiz , run a while without see if the problem still occurs [00:52] ugh, i'd rather not. i use the negative plugin to invert the colours... everything is bright & harsh on the eyes without it [00:52] Pelo: Looks like I'm gonna have to format entirely. [00:52] is there some way i can figure out what app these windows are from? [00:52] kelsin ok.. can i reset it somewhere? [00:53] Darius08x, well partition before hand make one fat32 and one ext3 , makethe fat32 first you can tell windows to instlal and reforma it to ntfs [00:53] ok [00:53] vee: from inside phpmyadmin you can, or using the mysql command line tools, it wouldn't have changed unless you changed it, if I'm even correct about the default, I don't know if I am [00:53] aha! it's something from epiphany. java or something [00:53] aand there goes my mouse again. [00:53] Darius08x, it's probabaly for the best, if you can't resize it , there is probably some thiny little someting wrong with it [00:53] Pelo: Thanks, I'll get back to you if i have any other troubles. :p [00:53] kelsin hhmMm [00:54] i clicked a link when the window popped up, and when i went away from the page (reloaded in this case), the window disappeared [00:54] * Pelo runs away and hides from Darius08x :"I can'T deal with anymore trouble.... ahahahahaha !!""" [00:54] it's java or flash [00:54] and it's not working [00:54] Pelo: first round is on me... see you tomorrow... [00:54] I've been having a heck of a time with my wireless card, would anybody be able to help me out? [00:55] luciddr34m3r: just ask your questions [00:55] This is nothing Pelo. xD you should have seen me when I first installed ubuntu and treid to get a LAMP server running. [00:55] If i add the backports like this to my sources list: [00:55] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-backports main universe multiverse restricted [00:55] Dont i need an authentication key? if so where do i find one and how do i add it? [00:55] My god it was pathetic. Even more so then now [00:55] Darius08x, I was just kidding [00:55] Well, I have a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop, and I cant see any wireless networks. My roommate uses the same exact laptop and he doesnt have a problem. I may have used a slightly more recent version... [00:56] theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved? [00:56] I know. :p [00:56] We are using the same drivers, so I assumed it would work for me too. [00:56] Darius08x, I'm usualy very good at holding hands , I'm just disapointed that you will have to reinstall xp, I know how long that takes, and how insanely teidious is it [00:56] how do i set up aptitude to use a certain repo for only a couple packages? [00:56] I don' t have any sounds, system or speaker.......any suggestions? === encryptz is now known as atoponce [00:57] Has anyone here worked with ACPIs? More specifically, with iasl? [00:57] alevine check into "apt pinning" [00:57] Pelo: This is probably about my 6th time reinstalling it in the past month. [00:57] sn0: exactly what i wanted thanks [00:57] np [00:57] Darius08x, why not ditch xp altogether [00:57] Darius08x: once you get XP back on... and then ubuntu... make an image of your boot sector with dd .... it comes in handy when I reinstall mine [00:57] aladdinsane: the key is identical to the existing archive one (Ubuntu Archive Signing Key, 437D05B5) [00:57] Ubuntu auto detected my wireless driver, but I still can't see any networks. Google wasn't able to help either. [00:58] afk [00:58] Jack_Sparrow: Do what now? [00:58] * lalyta hi all [00:58] I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a way to change my default gcc to 4.2 in a way that is "ubuntu" (I could manually change symlinks, but this seems wrong...) [00:59] Pelo: I use it for games, and also I've always used windows. It's easier for me. [00:59] Hi guys. This is my partition table: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/computerex/gparted.png does anyone know how I can get some more space to hda5? [00:59] Darius08x: after you get xp and ub installed.. make a backup of the drive boot sector to save you time later when XP needs to get reinstalled [00:59] um an "ubuntu" way would be no gcc at all so I wouldn't worry about it [00:59] Pelo: If I get use to linux enough...maybe. [00:59] Pelo: Dunno if that'll happen though. :p [00:59] Darius08x: I need XP since it helps pay the bills [00:59] bruenig: That's a lame answer. Ubuntu doesn't say you can't compile things, it just doesn't make you. It does however, give you packages for gcc, it should give me a way to select which to use. [01:00] anyone know how to disable mousekeys (mouse movement with the numpad) [01:00] Jack_Sparrow: >.> Dunno how to do that at all.. : D [01:00] I'll just worry about one thing at once. [01:00] greetings, can anyone walk me through installing ruby 1.8.5 on ubuntu (using aptitude?) i can't seem to find it (1.8.6 is the current ruby version but it has a bug i need to downgrade) [01:00] I'm guessing not, then [01:00] I'm getting an unusual error installing flash. Can anyone help? [01:01] Darius08x: sudo su ... cd Desktop .... dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=446 count=1 [01:01] anyone on dapper? [01:01] my wireless card really should be working i think... i just cant see any networks, but i'm sitting a foot away from my AP [01:01] kelsin err i cant get into it [01:01] Animortis: well what is the error then maybe we will help can't help really without knowing the error [01:01] Darius08x: assuming sda is your drive.. [01:01] tilgovi, the concept of an "ubuntu" way is a lame one to begin with, I was merely demonstrating that [01:01] kelsin i wrote it down but it doesnt work [01:02] luciddr34m3r, you did read the wifi documentation from ubuntu right ? [01:02] tilgovi, do what you want so long as it works [01:02] luciddr34m3r: did you ever identify your hardware/card? [01:02] When done downloading flash from Synaptic, the console view displays the following message: md5sum mismatch install flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [01:02] tilgovi: the "ubuntu way" which is the "debian way" is to use update-alternatives for these things, but it can only be used if the packages are available, of course. [01:02] when I start my Ubuntu, it loads three bars and then just stalls? its a dedicated Ubuntu machine. [01:02] crimsun: ok so does that mean i dont need to add a new key then, just uncomment the backports line in my sources list? And another question, reading about the backports repo, i understand it can have some security issues using it, how bad/serious is that really? [01:03] Animortis: sounds like you need to update the repos by refreshing synaptic [01:03] circaender, canyou boot the recovery mode ? [01:03] kitche: ... Ah, okay. One sec... [01:03] aladdinsane: that's correct. It can be serious, though the community attempts to keep it free of serious security issues. [01:03] void^: Right...I thought as much. I don't see an update alternatives for the toolchain though [01:03] luciddr34m3r: Which card is it? [01:03] pelo- no, and i can't see any but one error in text mode.. [01:04] I read as much documentation as i could, and no luck. I'm using a broadcom wireless card. Ubuntu decided to use an Atheros driver, but thats even whats listen on HP's site. [01:04] Jack_Sparrow: Ah, welll, I'll ask you for that again later. I just need to install xp first at least. [01:04] circaender, and what is the error ? [01:04] np [01:04] tilgovi: well, the gcc-defaults source package generates binary packages that set c{[c{,pp}89],++} [01:04] luciddr34m3r: which model? [01:05] kitche: No dice. [01:05] ick, boog in my regex [01:05] crimsun: ok but how serious is it, i mean is it worth using or should one better keep away? [01:05] luciddr34m3r, look up the exact model in here there might be advice https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [01:05] Refreshing the repos did not work. [01:05] pelo, error_code+0x72/0x80 theres stuff after that..but if they are errors too, then there is a huge list and i cant see all of them. [01:05] aladdinsane: you use it at your own risk. Please consider that. [01:05] i have reinstalled 3 times.. [01:05] Animortis: then the package is corrupted or something else [01:05] ok hold on i'll find the model number again... [01:05] circaender, can you boot any of the previous kernels ? if you have any [01:06] kelsin i cant get in [01:06] luciddr34m3r: My hp came with a broadcom bcm43xx [01:06] Well, it downloads it every time. Is there a problem with the repos right now? [01:06] um, im really new to this..so im not sure what you mean? === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca [01:06] buenas [01:06] tilgovi: well, there's also the generic way of setting CC [01:07] Thats probably it. I run an NW8000, and that number sounds right. I found instrustions for that though and they didnt help. I'm 99% positive the driver is right though. [01:07] circaender, when you boot the comp, do you get a boot menu ? if not , reboot and type the esc key right after the bios stuff is done, that will get you the grub boot menu, you can boot in recovery mode or previous kernels from there ifyou hve any [01:07] !broadcom [01:07] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx === tonyy is now known as tonyyarusso [01:07] crimsun: yes i get that, im just trying to get a picture of how big that risk could be. put it like this, are u using it? and/or would u recommend a friend using it? [01:07] luciddr34m3r: IS that the help you used? [01:08] Jack_Sparrow: hey I was arvin_ a while ago, on my friend's pc [01:08] yes, i have been there before. i have the main kernal,the recovery one and somethign else after that. [01:08] the first two, just go to the load screen.. loads three of the bars and stalls in the same place every time. [01:08] theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved? [01:08] speedhunt3r: Ok.. I am already late.. so I must leave.. hope things are working for you [01:09] circaender, ok I'll assume you tried them all, with this kind of error I would boot the live cd, try and backup my /home partiton and then just clean install [01:09] Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M_2 Gigabit Ethernet is my card [01:09] so its not the 43xx [01:09] I don't seem to have ACPI implemented in my system... maybe my DSDT is messed up? [01:09] take care [01:09] luciddr34m3r: ndiswrapper [01:09] luciddr34m3r: hmm that might not work not sure though [01:09] can any one tell me how to get/install xwinwrap for gusty please? [01:09] Hello People! === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [01:09] gorath, did you look in synaptic ? [01:09] ouch! [01:09] Hi Bored1ed [01:10] i tried ndiswrapper [01:10] Hi Sonic, whats happening? [01:10] pelo: yes nothing comes up when i search [01:10] is it possible to downgrade packages in ubuntu? or do the old packages just get phased out over time [01:10] The live cd does the same thing, and i checked it for errors? I looked up my motherboard and it said it was compatable and everything.. [01:10] buy an atheros based card... all mine work perfectly. [01:10] i think i might be at a loss. [01:10] * Animortis is still not sure why apt-get can't download the flash player. [01:10] from selecting ubuntu from my grub loader till the log in screen, my monitor turns off while booting up..anyway I can fix this? [01:10] Pelo: now it's working great, I just needed to set the min and max values in the file you talked about which no guide was explaining about but it was comments in the file. [01:10] workdammit: yes and yes [01:11] gorath, google for the website , on there look for a deb file , it you dont, find any get the source and come back , we'll tel you how to compile it [01:11] Animortis: it's corrupted on the repos or your local hashes are wrong but I'd say the package is corrupted [01:11] pelo: ok thanks [01:11] circaender, if you can't even boot the live cd, consider it might be an hardware issue [01:11] jrib: do you know how to specify aptitude to grab a particular package? [01:11] The driver is good though. My roomate uses the same exact driver. I know at least 4 people with the same model laptop and the card worked out of the box (and i confirmed the driver to be identical to mine) [01:11] workdammit: aptitude install PACKAGE=VERSION [01:11] netsrot, I knew it was there but It's been so long I didn't remember much about it [01:11] netsrot, congrats [01:12] workdammit: apt-cache policy PACKAGE to list [01:12] luciddr34m3r: If you can identify the chipset as being supported then you may want to try manual setup. If not then ndiswrapper should work if you have the windows driver. the other option is to buy a new card. [01:12] speedhunt3r: you have an onboard video card? also, have a card with both DVI and VGA? [01:12] Pelo: it seems to respect the available stepps as well. [01:12] jrib, stop pressuiing the noobs [01:12] jrib thanks! [01:12] kitche: I've done a sudo apt-get clean' [01:12] kitche: and that didn't change the result. Any other suggestions? [01:12] Animortis: well that just cleans the cache of packages [01:12] netsrot, I don'T know how it could do otherwise [01:13] kitofhawaii: yes i do have onboard, but I am using my PCI-ex card.. I think the PCI-ex has both dvi and vga [01:13] ola todo mundo! [01:13] Animortis: after adding the restricted repo's did you do an update? [01:13] Yea, the hope would be the new package would download safely. This is a fresh Ubuntu install...

I'll do it again for safety sake... [01:13] if i looked up my motherboard and it said it was supported, is there still a chance its that? [01:13] *sigh* ok i'll play around with it for awhile again. i may be back [01:14] speedhunt3r: have a spare monitor handy to plug in while seeing if it comes up over on one of them? [01:14] Hey, this is the first time I've used IRC! Am I working ok? [01:14] circaender, did ubuntu work well before ? [01:14] Personally, I never had good luck with ndiswrapper. I could connect but it was slow and dropped connection a lot. [01:14] GeddiGuy: yes [01:14] Animortis: what's the msg you're getting? [01:14] yes guy [01:14] KEWL! Thanks jrib [01:14] kitofhawaii: you mean on my video card that's not being used? [01:14] no, this is my first time trying. [01:15] speedhunt3r: yah, on one of the other ports, to see if any are "misbehaving" [01:15] circaender, maybe you should try with the alternate install cd it is less picky about hardware when it installs [01:15] speedhunt3r: also, confirm in bios that the onboard is off and deprived an IRQ [01:15] kitofhawaii: yeah i do have a spare, suppose the display goes on to that monitor, then what do i do? [01:15] kitofhawaii, md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz / The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [01:15] The program doesn't start fully because when it starts it tries to update and write files i believe, and thus since SU doesn't really exist in ubuntu, it can't update and thus can't start, is their a place where i can install it so that i don't have to worry about sudo or su [01:16] Pelo: great thanks, now it's only my cdrom drive making noices, I hope that cdemu will release a stable version soon but development seems dead.

[01:19] dewdude: i've heard of companies that will take your dead hard drive and get as much data for u from it as they can [01:19] kitofhawaii, A repo difficulty? I'll take a look or wait for it to fix. [01:19] no no [01:19] you totally misheard me. [01:19] dewdude, if hyou have some free hdd space, resize to make a new partiton from that free space and copy your /home folder to it [01:19] Pelo: ok i belive i have the source now for xwinwrap how do i compile [01:19] the drive that died..had nothing on it [01:19] i don't care [01:19] oh [01:19] sry [01:19] it had suffered a problem with data loss before and i was a fool for trying to use it [01:19] dewdude: one tip u could try to get allow getting some data back from the drive if u need it, is place the drive oin an external drive caddy, and put it in the freezer in a well sealed bag [01:19] but i wasn't sure if that was the issue with the thing. [01:20] nah [01:20] is there a way i can find out if its my hard ware? i checked my motherboard and it said it was compatible..im not sure what else it could be..i have a Nvidia g-card [01:20] the dead drive is in the trash already [01:20] gorath, first you need to install the compiling software, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:20] Animortis: the other thing you can try is "sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree" and then try the aptget again [01:20] now what was ur question? [01:20] dewdude: I like Pelo's idea. [01:20] How can i create a shortcut for a new subfolder under applications??? its for WINE and the programs in it .. anyone ??? PLZ HELPP .. THANK YOU [01:20] i thought about trying that. [01:20] sry whabo, wish i knew [01:20] leaving it in the external caddy/bad, allows you to actually run and access it while it is still in the freezer! can allow short term access to apparently totaly dead drives! [01:20] i know that [01:20] pelo: ok [01:20] circaender, ifyou hve anything nvidia on your comp , use the alternate install cd , not the live cd , youcan get it from the ubuntu.com site, fromteh dl section , just check the box bellow the download button [01:20] kefurd06: its ok thx :) [01:21] gorath, done ? [01:21] pelo:yep [01:21] the point is...i don't care about the dead drive..i'm jsut wondering should i try to reconfigure the ubuntu install on the "new" drive or reformat after getting the /home stuff backuped somehow [01:21] gorath, ok is the xwin... source package on your desktop ? [01:21] kitofhawaii, Didn't work. I'll look for that workaround. [01:21] Anyone have any download recommendations? Im quite bored. [01:21] it's booted up in console since X wouldn't start..and my wifi is working......i jsut didn't know if there was some easy way to do it [01:21] stick the drive in the freezer and try it again - [01:21] marl: looks to me like the REDIRCT table doesn't exist, I could be very wrong about that [01:21] Thats how i got it to install, and it all installed fine and detected all my hardware and everything..and it told me to take the cd out and reboot..so i did, and it just loaded up three bars and stalled. [01:22] I have a question regarding installing a program that needs root su access everytime it starts, is there a place where it can be installed to get around the sudo / su differences ubuntu has? [01:22] gorath, join me in #Pelo please , this place is a bit to noisy for this tutorial [01:22] Animortis: it involves getting it directly from adobe (works good...can confirm that's a viable option, though it won't be managed, so keep an eye on the repo's) [01:22] dewdude: not really important. you can reconfigure X and other things. But then again a new install is pretty quick. [01:23] marl: n/m it's a builtin, shows what I know :) [01:23] kitofhawaii, I'll take a look. Considering the security vulnerabilities involved, I will probably just use Gnash for a few weeks... [01:23] afk brb [01:23] Animortis: also, are you using 64-bit ubunti? [01:23] i recently deleted the folder wine from application ( by mistake) and i removed wine to try and reinstall it and see if it comes back .. no luck .. any help would be appreciated [01:23] *ubuntu [01:23] Thats the good thing about Linux as oposed to windows [01:23] yeah [01:23] kitofhawaii, No, 32. [01:23] i just didn't wanna lose my copy of The Aristrocrats [01:23] theres a dir where all the Menu entries are saved? [01:23] Animortis: ok then that workaround'll work for you :) [01:23] right now i need to figure out of i put the wrong drive, cuz it's only detecting 40 gigs [01:24] I dunno what that is. [01:24] Animortis: oh ok yah use whatever works :-D [01:24] dewdude: u can ssh into ur machine pull what u want out of it then reinstall [01:24] kitofhawaii, Thanks [01:24] Tesla: i have physical console access to it [01:24] Is there a way to queue files in rtorrent, i.e., download one torrent at a time automatically, instead of download them all at the same time? [01:24] i'm just not sure of the best way to move everything over console [01:25] i figured maybe someone in here knew a shortcut [01:25] where can i get the mkv(h264) codecs for mplayer? [01:25] dewdude: if you need a graphical environment, boot a livecd. [01:26] i don't have wifi on liveCD [01:26] dewdude: then reconfigure X [01:27] dewdude are you just trying to copy a directory [01:27] dewdude: I must not understand something about what youre trying to do. [01:27] I'm trying to export an NTFS usb-drive with NFS. It's not supported, but I read that it can work with FUSE (http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#nfs); can anyone help? [01:28] specifically, i only want like, one or two files. [01:29] i'm just gonna FTP them to my desktop [01:30] Anyone here deal with RAID on regular basis? [01:30] I just reformated my HDD to fat32 like pelo suggested. But it still says I'm using 149 MiB..how is that? [01:30] Hey guys, i have a problem downloading this http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon [01:30] xsystemx: software or hardware? [01:30] kitofhawaii - software [01:30] Can someone help me install VLC? [01:30] Darius08x, how big is the hdd ? [01:30] 0 1 or 5 [01:30] 0 [01:30] Pelo: 300GB with 297 unused [01:31] ok [01:31] xsystemx: ah...i don't use that...just hardware, sorry [01:31] Darius08x, did you apply the command ? [01:31] Darius08x: that's normal [01:31] Pelo: yes [01:31] Darius: formatting a hard drive takes space...you never get the full advertised amount. [01:31] did oiu lose a drie\ve [01:31] kito - how can I confirm certain module is loaded in memory? [01:31] Darius08x, wols will hlep you on this, I busy else wehre atm [01:31] xsystemx: lsmod [01:32] Ah, okey dokey you two. Thanks. [01:32] anyone run the icedtea-java7-plugin? [01:32] dewdude: samba? ftpd? sshftp? [01:32] Darius08x: 300GB = 300 billion bytes in harddisks, which is not300 GiB [01:32] also the meta data like the FATs and root directoriey need some room too [01:32] Anyone have familiarity with installing VLC? Also wouldnt mind helping a Linux newb? [01:32] i'm jsut gonna do the FTPD thing... [01:33] hello can ne1 tell me why when installing ubuntu, it hangs at 66%? [01:33] wols_: I don't quite understand that really. But thanks. xD [01:33] !anyone | GOdFAThe1 [01:33] GOdFAThe1: 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? [01:33] apt-get install VLC [01:33] but first [01:33] google medibuntu [01:33] I get dependency issues [01:33] dewdude: why cant you just copy the files to a usb drive or floppy. that would be a lot less trouble. [01:33] add 2 lines with repository [01:33] well... [01:33] dewdude: that's definitely a viable way of getting it over..your desktop a windows box? you could just share out a folder [01:33] got it? [01:33] floppy is out of the question...a floppy can't hold that much [01:33] Bored1ed: for a harddisk maker 300GB is 300x1000x1000x1000 bytes. for linux it is 300x1024x1024x1024 [01:33] add 2 lines with repository? [01:34] i don't have a GUI..i can't get wifi working with liveCD...i don't know how to share folders with samba through command [01:34] why does ubuntu fiesty fawn 7.06 hang at 66% installing? [01:34] u will find there what u need [01:34] just google...medibuntu [01:34] i also don't ahve any USB sticks. [01:34] ok [01:34] thanks [01:34] slic1: did you check your cd for consistency? [01:34] np [01:34] ill be back if I have any issues [01:34] kito: no how do i do that? [01:34] I try to download this http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon but when i put in the respositories or whatever, and then put in the command, this comes up [01:34] gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. [01:34] luke@luke-laptop:~$ [01:35] g'night folks [01:35] slic1: when you boot up the cd it should give you the option (one of the first screens that comes up) [01:35] ok ill try it, will it take long? [01:35] slic1, how long is the hang so far [01:35] slic1: burning os disks, i generally recommend going half or slower the rated speed of your cd burner === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:35] slic1: depends on your system, 5 minutes to 20 [01:36] well at 66% it wont let me doing anything else [01:36] ok [01:36] brb [01:36] dewdude: sshftp would be easiest [01:36] I have a problem with my applications menu not activating the applications.. can someone help me [01:36] will someone help with my question plzz [01:36] ok dumb question. what do i do if I am not running compiz and I have no borders :_ [01:36] fsckr: you can try running "metacity --replace" to get metacity back running [01:36] thx kelsin lemme try that [01:36] I'm trying to check a log for which users logged in and did what... which log should I look for ?

[01:37] akorn: depends how you installed it [01:38] akorn: easy use a package managment software to remove it unless you used their .run file [01:38] CaptainMorgan: auth.log perhaps [01:38] akorn: you have to run /opt/..../cxoffice/cxremove [01:38] akorn: or something like that... with sudo [01:38] wols_ i used the .deb file to install it, any idea? i can't find any folders and if i use locate crossover i find nothing, bu tit's there becuase i used it to install a program! [01:38] CaptainMorgan: you can use last command for last logged in users [01:38] CaptainMorgan: the last command will help "last" [01:39] mttr should tha tbe under /home/username ? because i dont see it there (and yea, i have show hidden files checked) [01:39] Do you need to add repositories for VLC in the souces.list to install it without dependency issues?

I want aMSN to start up with my machine, but not until the tray loads or I don't get the icon for aMSN. So just a little bash script will do the trick I think. [02:23] ronnies07: what video card?

Have you searched the web for your computer model and "stand by" or "hybernate"? [02:41] kelsin, ok i had the gparted live usb and i tried to resize my 332 gig windows partition using it. I was using half of that 332 gigs for windows and the other half was empty. I wanted to resize it to have half unallocated... so 160 gigs or so for windows (maybe 3 gigs free just in case i have to run windows again) and the other i was going to reinstall another version of windows on with a new motherboard and cpu and video card that i got. when i resized th [02:41] e partition to half roughly it gave me this error, ERROR: Extended record needed (1048 > 1024), not yet supported! Please try to free less space. [02:42] IndyGunFreak, is there any particular reason i should not install cairo-dock?

Maybe resizing to like 50 gigs free if enough to move your files, then do your deletion / growing thing? [02:43] kelsin, well... 50 gigs isnt enough.... how can i find out the limit? [02:43] gbw: well that wasn't the question you posed that i responded to, regardless, gdesklets is generally stable for me, but thats all ic an tell you. [02:43] scguy318, i just analyzed my partition and it says i do not need to defrag [02:43] MikeyMike: don't know, but it might not error on a smaller amount [02:43] kelsin, right [02:43] MikeyMike: are you running vista? If so does the resize tool in vista not get the partition small enough? [02:44] Hola [02:44] kelsin, windows xp [02:44] professional [02:44] hi does anyone kow how i can make thunar the default file manager on gutsy pls? [02:44] kelsin, you can resize the partition in vista? wow... i'm impressed lol [02:44] but no i'm using xp pro [02:44] MikeyMike: well you can resize them completely stupidly, afaik it doesn't ever move data, but if you aren't technically using the end of the disk (by chance) it can shrink it [02:45] kelsin, right.... i'm using the front half of the 332 gig partition.... i was going to resize to give my current windows barely any free space. then install my new hardware and install into the new partition. copy stuff from the old partition... then erase the old stuff and have my full 332 gigs again :) [02:46] I just double checked, I have switched between alsa and OSS and I am having a problem on audio transitions. Anyone knowledgeable with audio problems? [02:46] hi guys, my soundcard loops system sounds endlessly. other sounds, like those generated by pidgin/media players/etc are ok though.

[02:46] kelsin: not Best Buy :( :P [02:46] scguy318: Oh, then should I have everything on ALSA or autodetect?

[02:49] and yes I do mind [02:49] scguy318: i'll give it a try, ok [02:49] Vad1: basically Firefox on Wine :S :P [02:49] help my usr/applications will not start any more.. the permissions seems ok.. can only get them to work when i sudo them in terminal [02:49] wols, oh okay... is there anywhere i can get more info on this? [02:49] so i can stop bugging you lol [02:49] Fun I'm back... I had had a second (PCMCIA) audio device connected, so I logged out, disconnected it, and logged in again, just in case that was the problem, but it didn't affect things. With Amarok at Autodetect, it still zooms silently through the playlist then gives the "device unavailable" error. [02:49] wols, i'm not exactly sure what to search for to find more info about this [02:50] scguy318: could the fact that I have Amarok installed be causing the popping sounds? Maybe xine conflicting with gstreamer or something? [02:50] robrrr: I'm confused, if you've read the useradd man page you'd see that there isn't a --quiet flag [02:50] kelsin: lemme try that [02:50] BigDaddy: perhaps, but prob not [02:50] robrrr: I don't think useradd normally asks questions [02:50] ok i'll try again thanks [02:50] kelsin: the hard drive has windows on it and that is shot up and wont boot.. [02:51] scguy318: This just started (that I noticed) last night while I was trying to get DVD ripping and music playback. Never got the DVD ripped but I got Amarok working fine [02:51] kelsin: you're right i must have used a different command before, thanks for the help [02:51] BigDaddy: mm, unfortunately I don't know too much :( [02:52] MikeyMike: I don't know. there is not much to it. I told you all you need to do it === mrAshley is now known as mrAshley_is_eati [02:52] rename program files, windows, documents and settings. that's it? === mrAshley_is_eati is now known as mrAshley_afk [02:52] is vmware player available in some repo?

[03:08] mttr: type nautilus at the command like/... [03:08] *line [03:08] rpm based distros call db4-devel by that name I can't find the correct equivalent for Ubuntu [03:08] skar: the multiverse repo if you dn't have it [03:08] desertc: just moving a window raises my cpu usage to 25% even with compiz off. [03:08] Hmm. System monitor says that nothing in /dev/snd/* is open. Or should I be looking at something else? [03:08] kitche, i have it [03:08] routerl: 25% means 75% available! [03:08] my floppy drive is detected but i am unable to mount a floppy disk (the disk light is on, the disk is detected and the floppy is brand new) [03:09] nothing happens [03:09] anyone know if rsync -a for archive will overwrite files automatically? [03:09] if not in root [03:09] mttr: What do you mean, "nothing" [03:09] anyone have any luck booting an existing vista install (physical disk) in vmware in linux? [03:09] mttr: nothing never happens [03:09] routerl: I dont care if it spikes to 100 ... Unused cycles are wasted. [03:09] skar: then you should have the package did you update your package manager by chance that you use or refresh [03:09] It connects on half, but it keeps looking for a network key, and even though I give it the right key, it doesn't connect, just times out. [03:09] this is what shows up [03:09] main@main-desktop:~$ nautilus [03:09] main@main-desktop:~$ [03:09] kelsin: I need it to be automated and perfectly stop at halfway (1/2, 1/3, whatever) [03:10] it like a permission is messed up [03:10] Jack_Sparrow: Sure, but when I'm trying to use them (i.e. write a damn text file or something) everything is too slow to be usable [03:10] kitche, yes, i updated using 'apt-get update', but when i try to install vmware-player, it says "package has no installation candidate" [03:10] mttr: have you used sudo to run gui programs? like gedit etc [03:10] mttr: is there a core dump in your directory? [03:10] try this find . chown -R root:root /usr/bin.. amd main:main and main:root all don't work [03:10] routerl: first off, watch your language in here.. thanks.. [03:10] Jack_Sparrow: he says it works when he runs it with sudo [03:11] desertc: but that does not tell me what I asked [03:11] actually gedit worked [03:11] how do i add network-manager-gnome to my panel? [03:11] but not nautilus [03:11] mttr: have you used sudo to run gui programs? like gedit etc instead of gksudo which would protect your permissions [03:11] tomd123: might be able to play with the download quota for wget, try to fake it out to only download 1/2 of the file that way, have to download two files though for that to work so it will take a sec [03:12] Hello, is there a way to make the terminal not show my full username@computer and just the $ and folder path instead? [03:12] blahblahx, run nm-applet [03:12] Jack_Sparrow: oooh, I see what you're saying [03:12] :) [03:12] Jack_Sparrow: Pardon me, I think that was a misunderstanding. "Damn" wasn't meant to be hostile, just to express that any program as simple as gedit becomes nearly unusable because my CPU is peaking. [03:12] routerl: Still NOT appreciated... [03:12] well i don't usual use gksudo.. but that is what the application applet use.. so i tried from terminal to simulate the function [03:13] MattJ: so you have used sudo to run gui apps...? [03:13] Jack_Sparrow: Than I apologize in the absolute. Still, do you have a clue as to what can be happening? [03:13] routerl: sorry... busy atm [03:13] when i use main@main-desktop:~$ sudo gedit [03:13] sudo: must be setuid root [03:13] shadowblade: do you want to set it for everybody on yoru system or just you? [03:13] i get must be in setuid root [03:13] robdig: probly just me [03:13] mttr: he is saying that you should NOT use sudo -- use gksudo [03:13] mttr: doing that can cause the exact problem you are having now [03:13] any1 here get a aircard working with ubuntu????? [03:13] ok [03:14] mttr: gksudo gedit is the proper way to do it [03:14] mttr: sudo nano or vi etc is fine [03:14] mttr: he's saying that by using sudo gedit, you may have messed up permissions [03:14] desertc: sorry, wasnt trying to step on your toes.. [03:14] Jack_Sparrow: Yes [03:14] i suspect that is correct [03:15] Jack_Sparrow: I appreciate the help, because I have no idea [03:15] shadowblade: edit your ~/.profile, and add a line that says PS1=$ [03:15] How do I add a last.fm jounal account in scribefire? [03:15] but i can't seem to change the permissions back [03:15] desertc: np.. we all help each other.. [03:15] Jack_Sparrow: I do not have much knowledge of how modern gdm's operate [03:15] shadowblade: you will need to restart your terminal to take effect === xp_prg is now known as xp_gone [03:15] Hm. Google and dogpile don't bring up anything that I haven't already tried in getting xine to play audio once Firefox has done so, [03:15] i believe the programs are in /usr/bin [03:15] i [03:16] mttr: undoing it isnt all that easy, we would need to know what all you did as sudo in gui etc... [03:16] i've try to change permision with chown but no luck [03:16] shadowblade: or you can type source .profile (i think) [03:16] outch [03:16] mttr: so you tried sudo su then pass then chown etc === ice______ is now known as ice [03:17] rodbig: hm...doesnt seem to be working [03:17] oh well, its not a real big deal [03:17] did i need to restart my whole computer or just the terminal window? [03:17] yes.. what ever comands are on the appliction applets (top) bar.. all seem to be messed up [03:17] mttr: Sorry, but I am out of answers for today... Hope I can come up with more for tomorrow [03:17] with permissions that is [03:17] shadowblade: just the terminal window...you are running bash as your shell, right? [03:18] thanks for your help [03:18] may have to reinstall [03:18] np.. sorry it wasnt an easy fix [03:18] rodbig: ... dunno, sorry [03:18] So it appears that if I'm to listen to non-firefox audio while keeping firefox open, the solution is to boot into Windows. *sigh* [03:18] Does anyone in here know if scribefire can be set up with a last.fm journal account? [03:18] mttr: remember after you get it reinstalled to do a backup.. [03:18] rodbig: again, its not a big deal, i thought it might be a quick change kind of thing [03:19] mttr: also.. if you burn var/cache/apt/archives to a cd you can save a ton of dl time later [03:19] shadowblade: if you haven't changed it then it is bash. try putting it in ~/.bashrc, that's what i meant to say...sorry [03:19] can't someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder [03:19] rodbig: that worked, thanks [03:19] well i lease my home folder is on seperate drive [03:20] can someone do a ls -l on there /usr/bin folder [03:20] goodnight [03:20] Sounds like on of those, "Oh, so that's why everyone says not to run programs as root user..." [03:20] moments [03:20] shadowblade: sorry for misdirection first, at work use ksh, which uses .profile...anyway glad it worked for you [03:21] Looking at QAmix doesn't show anything revealing. [03:21] mttr: Reinstall your root directory, and you should be all set [03:21] about 30 min haha [03:22] what folder in root should i back up before i reinstall [03:22] how do i remove kernel modules?

Evolution does not notify me of mail until i launch it.... is there anyway to have the notifier launch with my session? [03:35] FunnyLokinHat: thanks, just comment out that one cdrom line? [03:35] I need help getting my wireless thing to work on ubuntu 7.10. It worked on the live cd, but not now. ?_? === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as ce_hehe_cr_bnyx_ [03:35] i just copy the 'hello word' from open-cobol [03:35] mnereson8, yup, then do control + x to exit and make sure to hit yes for save [03:35] mnereson8, then you have to sudo aptitude update and then you can install your program : ) [03:35] FunnyLokinHat: awesome, its going now - thanks a ton mate [03:35] http://tinyurl.com/3blqj5 [03:36] any ideas? [03:36] mnereson8, no problem : ) [03:36] cvd: so try removing the first line and see what it does... [03:36] !netsplit > quanticle [03:36] Darius08x, what do you mean worked? the wireless card or the internet connection ? [03:37] meoblast001, with the email notification, I'm not sure of a way to do that with evolution, sorry [03:37] ok [03:37] tntCry: ...Both? I could connect wireless and everything [03:37] any ideas for the WINE problem? [03:37] cvd: ah, * is in wrong column in your pastebin...compare to sample [03:37] meoblast001, with the .EXE files, you can set the default when you right click a .EXE - Choose Open With - Open with Other Application --- Just type in wine and check the box to make it default [03:38] Darius08x, so you mean ubuntu havent detected your card ? [03:38] Yeah [03:39] Does building a custom kernel actually make the system faster? [03:39] still the same :-) [03:39] :-( [03:39] FunnyLookinHat: i dont have that option [03:39] im the wrong person to help you with Darius08x , but if its an internet problem that means if your card works and your connected to your router and erverything but your internet isnt working it means you cant surf or log in msn ect.. that is a problem i can help you with. [03:39] tntCry: Thats not my problem, it's just not detecting the card. ): But it did in the live cd which is odd [03:40] cvd: try deleting the first line and see if it will compile [03:40] hmm [03:40] did you type dmesg? [03:40] meoblast001, Ahh, so it isn't there... hold on, I forget how to do it [03:40] meoblast001, give me a sec, I'll find it for you [03:40] intrminal Darius08x [03:40] nope hold on [03:40] after deleting the first line http://pastebin.com/d3af8d0c7 [03:41] and see if you find the name of your WIcard theyr Darius08x [03:41] does anyone use DEVEDE? [03:41] meoblast001, hmm.. I'm not totally sure. You should google for it. When I installed WINE, it automatically set the default for .EXE files to be WINE [03:41] Does building a custom kernel from source actually make the system faster? [03:41] tntCry: Don't see it [03:42] will reinstalling Wine destroy all my previous settings and files? [03:42] maybe there something wrong with the terminal? [03:42] meoblast001, probably not, you can make sure it doesn't by doing this in a console [03:42] meoblast001, mv .wine .wine_backup [03:42] cuz sometimes i cant use the su at all [03:42] meoblast001, then once you reinstall wine, do this: mv .wine_backup .wine [03:43] dirst of all Darius08x what is it a laptop? built in wireless with mobo or a PCMCI laptop card or a PCI slot for PC. [03:43] PCI slot for pc [03:44] Is it true that there is a maximum of 2GB for swap in Linux? [03:44] you know Darius08x if i was you i would remove it and put it in another slot [03:44] Ok, thanks I guess i can try [03:44] and try booting ubuntu again . this may cause of conflict that is 1 of the 80 reasons [03:44] but the other reasons is you must get some files and stuff but that is also recommended if my way didnt work . [03:45] cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob [03:45] cvd: that will allow free format cobol [03:45] i always start with basics Darius08x before i go with the hardcore setting [03:45] Ok, thank you, gonna go try that out, bye for noe [03:45] now [03:45] i want to make a ubuntu commercial for Albino Black Sheep because Canonical doesnt make commercials [03:45] no more netsplit! [03:45] good luck [03:45] :) [03:46] hey guys has anyone checked out GEubuntu [03:46] pls what is the comibation keys for kill command [03:46] Alyxander, heh, gebuntu. Allways new flavours. [03:46] ajeet: to kill an application use System > Administration > System Monitor [03:47] i wish there was a list of them. _all_ of them. [03:47] ajeet: there you will be able to right click on the name of the process and click kill [03:47] is there a key combo [03:47] Zhaozhou, yup Gnome mixed with E17 very nice very very nice [03:47] ajeet: you can make one [03:47] like in suse [03:47] Alyxander, e17 <3 [03:47] ajeet: No, but you could set one or create a launcher for 'xkill' [03:47] ajeet: first install the program xbindkeys [03:48] Im thinking of getting e17 on my box. e17 is really keyboard-friendly. [03:48] cvd: i don't remember, does cobol statements start in column 7 or 8? been too long...either way, for the warning, try doing cobc -free hello.cob [03:48] cvd: as far as the ld error, looks like you need to install ncurses [03:48] ajeet: Fyda's idea sounds a little easier [03:49] Zhaozhou, its hot the only reason i switched fro xubuntu with e installed was to see if they got it right with wireless and yeah they did [03:49] cannot find -lncurses [03:49] Alyxander, :D nice! [03:49] Hi all. my apache wont start with /etc/init.d/apache2 start [03:49] Alyxander, what wireless card do you have? [03:50] meoblast001: ajeet left :( [03:51] Fyda: he did? [03:51] im always late on that stuff [03:51] cvd: you need to install ncurses, the open cobol web site says 5.2 or later, not sure i see that, but try this...sudo apt-get install libncurses5 [03:51] i have intalled the libncurses5, libncursesw5,libncurses-base,ncurses-bin [03:52] cvd: did you install open cobol from the ubuntu repositories or from their website? [03:52] from synaptic [03:52] and all the requirements [03:53] cvd: then it should have downloaded everything you need...suggest you open a bug on it [03:55] does anybody know what could cause gnome to start slowly, displaying the ubuntu splash screen for an extended period? [03:57] jkgkj [03:57] whats wrong w/ this? is this slow or just me? [03:58] devede question? please [04:00] anyone else having issues with any application obeying sound settings set via the taskbar applet? [04:00] my volume is muted, but firefox and totem are still loud as all hell. [04:00] even when I turn the volume all the way down on totem, it's still loud as all hell. [04:00] .... [04:01] then I did 'test' under "Sound Preferences" and it's loud as all hell... with everything muted! [04:01] jonesy: But what about the sliders? Have you turned them all down to 0%, too? [04:02] Fyda: the volume indicator on my panel says it's muted. [04:02] if I click on it, it's all the way at the "-" [04:02] jonesy: Yes. But look at the other channels in the mixer. [04:02] yeah, that's where my confusion is. [04:02] wtf is going on? [04:02] I know it's inconsistent, and would like a fix as well. [04:03] if I turn "PCM" down (wtf is that?) the volume goes down. [04:03] jonesy, you have to open the mixer and make sure alll the controls are at minimum [04:03] I used easyvmx.com to make an XP machine, and tried to use vmware-player to run it, but when I power up the machine, it gives me an error: "VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) [04:03] Failed to allocate page for guest RAM!" [04:03] this is an area where instead of having 15 different sound systems to choose from, it would be nice if linux had *one* that worked with the major desktops in some kind of seamless way. [04:04] jonesy: if changing pcm (pulse code modulation?) , right click the volume control and tell it to control pcm [04:04] *works, that is [04:04] PCM typically corresponds to most sound output from most apps, at least as far as I can see. === OSUKid7_ is now known as OSUKid7 [04:04] Fyda, you are right [04:05] I've been using linux for many years, and the only thing about it that sucks more than sound is printing (but that's any os) ;-P [04:05] thanks Fyda [04:05] I used easyvmx.com to make an XP machine, and tried to use vmware-player to run it, but when I power up the machine, it gives me an error: "VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) [04:05] Failed to allocate page for guest RAM!". How do i fix this? [04:07] how can i make it so that the the root account can't be used to login? ie must su to root [04:07] how do i change the permissions on my other partitions? [04:07] skar, have you tried googling that error? [04:07] robrrr: by default, ubuntu has root disabled...the recommendation is to use sudo or gksudo for root access [04:07] nickrud, oh, actually i haven't, thanks for the advice, hehe [04:08] robrrr: passwd --lock [04:08] hi can someone help me with my wacom tablet?? [04:09] nickrud: thanks, will that stop the account from being used or just mean that i must su to root? [04:09] :-) [04:09] robrrr: sudo will work, su shouldn't [04:09] nickrud, a solution mentioned setting something to false in the "vmx", how do i edit the vmx? [04:09] Hey guys, quick question... How can I disable the speaker beep when you backspace to far in terminal, or doing an illegal key stoke. [04:10] skar: with a text editor :) [04:10] nickrud, ah hehe, thanks [04:10] juanbond: That's the system bell. Try looking in the Sound settings. [04:10] Sounds good. [04:10] Thanks! [04:10] gutsy wont start [04:11] it just gives me a blank screen [04:11] juanbond: on the terminal, edit->current profile, untick system bell [04:11] after grub loads [04:11] Neodudeman: Try pressing Alt+F2 when it's at the black screen? [04:11] ok, then? [04:11] I'm looking for the "info" pages, and I don't see many of them in 7.04. Is this common within Ubuntu? [04:11] Neodudeman: I have seen 2 people with the same issue -- it turns out they have no splash screen, and Ubuntu won't finish booting unless they switch to the virtual terminal. [04:12] weird [04:12] Neodudeman: That shortcut switches to the VT. It seems that this allows the system to finish booting up. I do not know of a solution. [04:12] what should i do in the virtual terminal? [04:12] any commands that need be typed [04:12] Neodudeman: Wait for it to finish booting up :) [04:12] where can i ge helh a wacom tablet?? [04:12] oh [04:12] lol [04:12] ok, thanks, i'll try it now [04:15] troythetechguy: you probably need to install them...usually in packages that have a -doc on their name...there aren't a lot installed by default [04:15] Hello, is is possible to use emerald themes along with compiz fusion> [04:15] ?* [04:16] QQ: I've followed to docs on ubuntu.com to get DVDs, but when I apt-get install libdvdplay0, the package doesn't exist. [04:16] robdig, are the info pages more current than the man pages? [04:16] And it appears taht gxine won't play DVD's without it. [04:16] troythetechguy: in my experience, no...many times they are exactly the same :( === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:17] robdig, Thanks for the information.

[06:32] IS there anyway to find the origin of my crashes/lockups? [06:32] nickrud: yep, that's the only thing that ubuntu does not automatically take care of for you. There are some windows movie codecs too that you only get from w32codecs [06:32] automatix2 [06:33] !automatix | nickname6243 [06:33] nickname6243: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

Using this seems to work but [06:33] is NOT recommended. Do you want to use this? [no] [06:33] what should i do? [06:33] nickrud: Arg... dident work.. Oh well, thanks for helping me. [06:34] ssam: umm, there is no such thing as 6.04. What docs are these exactly? And what version of ubuntu are you using?

[06:37] on ubuntu i cant see them let alone access them [06:37] guys, i am currently installing Flash on my Mozilla and it has two options which will i pick: the Gnash SWF player or the Adobe Flash player... ? [06:37] ssam: where are you looking [06:37] !who | ssam [06:37] ssam: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:38] guys, i am currently installing Flash on my Mozilla and it has two options which will i pick: the Gnash SWF player or the Adobe Flash player... ? [06:38] jrib: i cant seemt o see my partitions on ubuntu GUI though fdisk -l makes them visible on the terminal there not mounted it says [06:38] Hey you know wha't sucks? [06:39] shishio: no need to repeat. gnash is open source and adobe is the official adobe one. Trying to install adobe's at the moment will probably fail, so if you want that one, you should download the tar.gz from adobe and install it manually to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [06:39] ssam: ok, use ntfs-config then [06:39] alright [06:39] jrib: what was that path [06:39] gvsa124: path for? [06:39] jrib: oh there you go.. someone has the same problem as i do [06:39] jrib: so i can choose the adobe flash player riht>? [06:39] rught*? [06:39] jrib: the mozilla plugin [06:40] jrib: one more thing.......do you know how to compile a code? [06:40] jrib: do i have to uninstall the adobe i got from the plugin finder? [06:40] shishio: I just said it will probably not work at the moment because adobe has a new version and the package has not been updated. But you can try of course. I recommend installing manually to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ until the package is updated. [06:41] jrib: okey [06:41] gvsa124: doesn't matter, but if you leave it installed, you will be notified of the updated package when it arrives [06:41] !compile > ssam (read the private message from ubotu) [06:41] thanks [06:41] ssam: it is very rare that you will need to compile something on ubuntu [06:42] jrib: even if i manually install the flash player 9... it will update and fix itself automatically?

[06:45] ssam: I would recommend opening it in a text editor and reading it first to make sure it is safe. You can execute it by making it executable first (chmod +x FILENAME.sh) and then executing it (./FILENAME.sh). Or, just have the shell read it (sh FILENAME.sh). You need to be in the directory where FILENAME.sh is located [06:45] !cli > ssam (read the private message from ubotu) [06:45] does anybody has the link to "fashion desktops" in ubuntu forums?? i used to but now is lost i have been searching and i cant found it [06:45] ssam: make sure you read the extra links at the bottom [06:47] How do I install 3 packages at once and ignore dependancy errors?

[06:52] but now on firefox it cause it to freeze ubuntu [06:52] subzero800: then finally you give a command "sudo apt-get -f install".

[07:17] can someone please help me get my atheros wifi card to work [07:17] Is anybody able to install anjuta in gutsy? [07:17] indhu: usually the projector cable ends with a jack that is similar to a monitor cable jack. Plug it in where you would usually plug in a monitor cable into the computer [07:18] slytherin : i did [07:18] slytherin: sudo apt-get install anjuta. or you can just install it from add/remove programs [07:18] indhu: then with some computers you have to push Fn+F7 [07:19] spongebob: Fro official repositories? I am getting error. [07:19] : what error? [07:19] rabi: Thanks. I know how to install packages. Problem is beyond that point. [07:19] spongebob: Package anjuta has no installation candidate [07:20] !python [07:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:20] slytherin: add repositories [07:20] GOdFAThe1: yes I have installed q3 a few times in linux. [07:20] mediahunter: have you checked that it is supported - see the list linked from the Networking & Wireless sectio fo the Ubuntu forums [07:20] : maybe there's no link for the package fro the repo [07:20] Hmm. Sudo apt-get install apache2 didn't work. It was saying could not find package or something. I googled the program made a apt.conf file, and now it says E: syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf:2: Extra junk at end of file. [07:20] sunogbaga: I have all repositories active. [07:21] What exactly am I suppose to put there? [07:21] : got to the anjuta website and copy their repository address [07:21] supported by wht utilites [07:21] it is supported by both ndiwrapper and madwifi [07:21] i just cna not get it to work [07:21] spongebob: Yes, I can do that. I was just wondering is this is known bug. [07:21] Darius08x, you messed your apt.conf [07:22] D: ketrox I didn't have a apt.conf before. [07:22] unless it's hidden [07:22] >.> [07:22] : no it only happens if the link to package is broken try sudo apt-get update [07:22] slytherin: did you apt-get upgrade? [07:22] i mean update [07:23] Darius08x: Which versio of Ubuntu are you using? [07:23] Darius08x: not hidden, just parted out in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d . Delete the apt.conf you created, run sudo apt-get install apache2 again, and paste the complete error on paste.ubuntu-nl.org [07:23] : sunog baga ka dyan [07:23] pg: 7.10 desktop edition [07:23] spongebob: hahah pinoy!! [07:24] GOdFAThe1, im here. (: [07:24] : shhhhh secret [07:24] so no help [07:24] hi. my monitor is 1280x1024, yet my screen res is 1792x1344 and it won't change. Any ideas? [07:24] sunogbaga: Found the problem. I had some preferences set in /etc/apt/preferences regards to anjuta. Looks like they got carried from feisty when I was using their repository instead of official repository [07:24] Darius08x: then you should not need an apt.conf file. apache2 is in the repositories. [07:24] spongebob: cge.. pm === root_ is now known as BobSapp [07:25] pg: I'm just doing what googled said. I deleted the file now though. It still says reading package lists, bulding tree..reading state info, then goes to say E: couldn't find package apache2 [07:25] : you did the dist upgrade from feisty to gutsy? [07:25] this is strange, normally ubuntu says it cant find the nvidia kernel driver, but when i boot into rescue mode it can startx? [07:26] mediahunter: do you have madwifi module loaded and ndiswrapper unloaded? [07:26] spongebob: Yes, I did [07:26] : the anjuta website has an info and there's is a particular file you need to delete as it is no longer needed check their website for more info [07:26] Darius08x: applications->add/remove, preferences button, make sure all the sources are ticked. Then, close, close, and try the install again [07:27] nither [07:27] i was trying the acer-apci [07:27] acer-acpi [07:27] i mean [07:27] it does not seem to work or i can not fig it out [07:27] does anyone know how to install the latest ATI mobility drivers? [07:27] spongebob: Yes. Solved my problem. Thanks for all the help. [07:28] so the next best thing i guess madwifi is beter then ndiswrapper [07:28] hi does anyone here knows a good .kar and .midi player for ubuntu that supports "channel" editing. I know pykaraoke exists and it's a good one but you can't edit or view the channelds. KMid exists but to tell you guys the truth it's crappy and useless pykaraoke are a lot better but i'm lookin for midi/kar player that supports channel viewing and editing.

[07:34] scottux: describe your problem and if someone knows they will help you [07:34] ketrox: The terminal says I am using software acceleration innstead of hardware after I run those commands, any thoughts? [07:34] anywho, my problem is not at all with using my network accessible storage drive, more with how to figure out what the ip address it is [07:34] from there I think I could figure my own way out of my problems [07:35] GOdFAThe1, you used method1 or method2 ? [07:35] method1 [07:35] scottux you can see the ip address of the server by opening a terminal and typing 'ifconfig' at the prompt [07:35] scottux but you should really set a static ip address for an NAS server [07:35] such as ifconfig eth0(my ethernet) [07:35] GOdFAThe1, try the scond the first wont install the lastest drivers [07:36] thor: I don't exactly know how to do so...any pointers? [07:36] ok brb [07:36] scottux: ifconfig [07:36] scottux: see thor's messages [07:36] ketrox: is there a way to get a device listing in linux?

[07:40] shishio, sudo apt-get install wine [07:40] ifconfig isn't giving me any useful ip addresses. I have a wireless card (internet connection) and a gigabit ethernet card connected directly to my NAS server [07:41] kk ill try [07:41] scottux: ifconfig.. find the line that says inet addr. [07:41] scottux are you running ifconfig on the server? [07:41] ketrox: after installing how do i use this? [07:42] scottux: do this on the remote machine [07:42] shishio, wine somefile.exe [07:42] inet6 addr has a funky hex code, not a familiar ip address [07:42] shishio: wine config [07:43] sunobaga: the remote machine is a self contained linux based NAS drive. no screen, no ssh, just an ethernet port [07:43] shishio: wine [07:43] ketrox: do i need to locate the file location on that ? [07:43] ow [07:43] *sunogbaga [07:43] sunogbaga: same to u === Noir__ is now known as Noir56 [07:44] shishio: from the repositories. From the system menu, choose System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager. Then from the list of packages, find "wine" and install it. [07:44] scottux do you have the docs on the drive? There should be a way to address the box to configure it...maybe via a web interface? [07:44] rabi: tell me exactly what it says [07:44] shishio: are you running an installer? [07:44] thor: yes, web interface is the usual method, but typically that's accessed via windows machine at address \\mybookworld\ [07:45] thor: and I can't manage to get there from linux [07:45] pg: it downloads: the file from server, then says md5 checksum error, flashplugin-nonfree not installed. [07:45] sunogbaga: i am trying to run one of my windows xp programs [07:45] ketrox: ok lol I did the flgrxinfo and it reloaded my session lol [07:45] scottux: can you access it using windows box? via web interface? [07:46] shishio: i suggest you install it first using wine [07:46] What DNS server software is recommended for someone with simple needs on Ubuntu 7.10? [07:46] scottux if that is what you are using in windows it should work in linux...assuming you are on the same network [07:46] rabi, have you tried apt-get remove --purge flash-plugin-nonfree and then reinstalling? [07:46] sunogbaga: ultimately if it comes to that, I suppose. I was attempting to leave the awful thing behind completely [07:46] shishio: run wine [07:46] thor: I am. The same computer even. [07:46] scottux if nothing else, you should be able to ping mybookworld and find the address [07:46] Player: dnsmasq [07:46] ketrox: I assume that is what is supposed to happen eh? [07:46] lazarus_lupine: yah i tried it, but not succeed. [07:46] slytherin, thanks [07:46] sunogbaga: are you pinoy? can u help me [07:46] hmm [07:46] thor: i"ll give that a shot [07:46] I am trying to connect to my ubuntu via vnc viewer (Preferences->Remote Desktop).

[07:49] unfortunately it returns: "unknown host mybookworld" [07:49] scottux: should your device supposedly has a default ip when connecting to a network?? (just a guess) [07:49] rabi: i got the same problem too [07:49] owen1 you will be prompted for the password when you connect [07:49] shishio: yes i am [07:49] sunogbaga: reply ka naman pm ko [07:49] shishio: what software are u using? [07:49] thor: I get "connection refused" immediately. [07:49] hi does anyone here knows a good .kar and .midi player for ubuntu that supports "channel" editing. I know pykaraoke exists and it's a good one but you can't edit or view the channelds.

[07:49] shishio: registered ka ba? i can't receive you p [07:49] thor: (with or without password) [07:49] sunogbaga: supposedly, yes. [07:50] sunogbaga: im non registered...

[07:50] owen1 and do you have 590x open to the ubuntu box [07:50] thor: i went to preferences->remote desktop. is it enough? [07:50] owen1 if you are using :1 for the server you need port 5901 open [07:50] shishio: wat software are you trying to run? [07:51] rabi: the deb package jsut downloads the file from Adobe and installs it. The message you got was that the file was not downloaded correctly. [07:51] : actually you can just copy the xpi and other .so to mozilla plugins dir [07:51] Whats faster ndiswrapper or the built in drivers in the kernel? [07:51] scottux: but?

[07:52] sunogbaga: okey [07:52] owen1 in a terminal type 'ps ax | grep vnc' and see if vnc is running [07:52] scottux: the manufacturer should have docs for this [07:52] thor: ok, 1 sec [07:53] rabi: an rpm package would probably do the same thing, though I'm not sure. You can download the installation file yourself from Adobe and install it, but then you have to remember that it is installed, where it is installed and what version it is/ [07:53] sunogbaga: u have a YM>? can i pm u in YM>? OMG thanks i finaly seen pinoy on ubuntu [07:53] shishio: erwin003 [07:53] spogebob: yah i will convert it to deb [07:53] sunogbaga: they do, but I swear they're the worst docs you could possibly ask for [07:53] thor: yes.

[08:20] rabi:sudo: ./flashplayer-installer: command not found [08:21] zeay: State your question [08:21] AgentHeX: Normally, they are to be seen there in the lower right. If not so on your system, then there is an error. Try to find an error in kern.log. [08:21] shishio: Are you trying to install flashplugin? [08:21] cannot detect my sound card but if i type lspci it states ali corp m5455 [08:21] slytherin: i don't know. i don't remember changing any setting that have to do with that. i've been fiddling with my power options panel, but i never saw an option for that, and i've looked there. [08:21] slytherin:yes [08:21] hey zewb, pop by the FR channel sometime, will ya ;) [08:21] shishio: don't sudo: ./flashplayer-installer, only sudo ./flashplayer-installer [08:22] shishio: Why not install flashplugin-nonfree from repositories? [08:22] it's just when i hit System->Quit..., i don't see options for restart or shutdown. i have log out, lock, suspend, hibernate, and one more i can't remember, but i can't see shutdown or restart [08:22] "detlef@MD97600:~$ s2ram; bash: s2ram: command not found" although the uswsusp package is installed. Why does Gutsy provide no program package which includes s2ram? [08:22] rabi: command not found [08:22] slytherin: we've been experiencing problems from adobe's nonfree plugin. there was an old version floating around here recently, lemme check my chat logs and i'll see if i can find it [08:23] Does anyone know the command string to rename a file? [08:23] AgentHex: I've never seen syspend or hybernate under the system menu. They always appear under the power applet, thought. You can make that appear in your panel from System -> Preferences -> Power options -> General [08:23] GOdFAThe1: mv [08:23] shishio: ohhh. can you go to the extracted folder?

[08:26] eNons3nse: you should have a network icon in the top right. click that and manually configure.

[08:38] CyberMad: my radeon 9200 works but not sure what that SE is [08:39] SE is the low-end edition of the card [08:39] does compiz automatically installed and active when install ubuntu 7.10 ? [08:39] AgentHeX: Of course. I all did this. Others did too. But the bug is not processed. The bug fixing process seems to be totally broken from my point of view. Whom can I talk to? [08:39] CyberMad: no. you have to enable extra effects once the restricted driver is installed [08:40] AgentHeX how to enable it? [08:40] Gropi: don't know. what's the link to the bug? [08:40] My thinkpad laptop no longer suspends or hybernates since a few days ago. Here is the relevant part of /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/da0447de . I suppose some upgrade caused this.

But it won't be easy enough for ordinary users. And the bug is still present in Hardy. [08:42] sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:42] try adding acpi=off to the module line including your kernel near the bottom of the file.

[08:58] owen1: yup putty [08:58] Triskaidekaphobi: yes, that's true, except there was no second question, i wanted to know a way to program as if i was using masm... [08:58] pg: If you can go back to an old kernel which functioned all right, then do it. I could not use my old functioning kernel after I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy. [08:58] CyberMad: what'd you do? [08:58] if i get udp open|filtered unknown that means something blocks it? [08:58] Ademan: not sure what you mean by "as if" you were using masm [08:58] i need to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from recovery mode [08:58] if i can put a DDR1 512 MB and a DDR2 1G in my motherboard, will they work together ? and if so, will it be on the slowest speed ? [08:58] then i re-set the hardware [08:58] CyberMad: nice work [08:58] wols, AgentHeX, the thing is last time i checked masm doesn't run on ubuntu... and i don't care to run it in wine [08:59] AgentHeX i'm very happy :) [08:59] quick question, searching hasn't helped much. I'm trying to set up apache2, but whenever I try to access a CGI script i've got placed in /usr/lib/cgi-bin, my browser tries to download it instead of the server running it. [08:59] Ademan: linux is a 32bit system [08:59] slytherin: what do i do witht he file [08:59] Ademan: check out nasm perhaps [08:59] gutsy is so ucked up and nobody seesm to care [08:59] bullgard4: I thought the kernel might be the problem. It was updated in feisty recently. [08:59] bullgard4: that's why I avoided upgrading to gutsy. [08:59] the directory is ScriptAlias'd, and i've tried adding an AddType directive,and uncommented the AddHandler directive, but neither helped [09:00] i've also chmod'd the file to make it globally executable [09:00] what is the best desktop search for ubuntu? i just found beagle... [09:00] wols: well that's the thing, nasm doesn't have the same syntax as masm, and this is for school, i can't very well turn in code written for nasm when they want masm syntax [09:00] yes well lucky nuvan i have to back up kill gutsy and reinstall fiesty [09:00] CyberMad: *best* is subjective, but tracker was included by default in gutsy, so i suppose you could say that ubuntu developers think tracker is the best [09:00] ubuntu corporate wankers ...we dont all own a dell [09:01] Ademan: so stop the whining and use masm [09:01] bullgard4: where do you get s2disk? Universe and Multiverse are enabled, but I don't see it. [09:01] Ademan so what is that? [09:01] wols: is there some magical linux port of masm that i haven't heard of? [09:01] CyberMad: find / -name '' FOR THE WIN [09:01] Ademan: no [09:01] CyberMad: tracker? it's a desktop search applications. [09:01] ok thanks [09:02] pg: Yes, i agree that the Feisty kernel might be your problem. On the other hand, the Gutsy kernel has brought about other suspend/resume problems, as I experienced myself. [09:02] wols: then how, pray tell, will i be using it? [09:02] Ademan: dosbox for example [09:02] should i paste a shell into the bin if so how? === assasukasse_ is now known as assasukasse [09:02] Ssam: bash is a shell, ksh is a shell, what you have is a shellscript. totally different thing [09:02] pg: s2disk is part of uswsusp. [09:02] www.freepenguin.it/index-en.html [09:03] wols: that's actually a pretty good idea, that's the sort of thing i was looking for in the first place, thanks [09:03] auskadi: what is wrong with gutsy? [09:03] Ademan ahh i get it.. so there is utility name Tracker :) [09:03] wols i have no idea what i am doing man........how do i work this? [09:04] so what do you think, about using Beagle... in your opinion [09:04] so i typed chmod 755 file.sh [09:04] Ssam: Have you created .sh file? [09:04] Ssam: xreate a file and put that script in there [09:04] which makes it executable [09:04] CyberMad: yeah haha, sorry, someone should tell them not to name their applications after common nouns [09:04] yes i have [09:04] Ssam: so now run it [09:04] i pasted the text into an empty file then renmaed it flv2avi.sh [09:05] why won't nautlus show one of my local mounted drives? it shows every other one, except for my "winshare" drive. is it because it's fat32? [09:05] i chmod 755 flv2avi.sh first [09:05] ? [09:05] CyberMad: unfortunately I really don't have an opinion, i haven't used either very much, but I like the *possibilities* with tracker, in the near future tracker could become a whole lot cooler, but for now i don't think there's any noticable difference [09:05] Ssam: you said you already have [09:05] gaten: probably. if you made it skinny32, it might want to see it. [09:05] Ssam: yes and now from terminal go to directory that contains the file and do ./flv2avi.sh [09:05] i have i was just asking if i did the right thing [09:05] ok :) [09:06] AgentHeX: anyway to force it to show up? [09:06] done Usage: ./flv2avi.sh {-divx|-xvid} list_of_flv_files [09:06] gaten: you could try to mount it manually. check "mount --help" [09:06] geez.. there is weird behavior with compiz on ubuntu 7.10 with Radeon 9200 SE [09:06] does the flv have to be in the same folder as the shellscript [09:07] AgentHeX: it mounts fine. it just doesn't show up in Nautilus [09:07] gaten: something like "mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/windows" or whatever where X is the partition number. [09:07] gaten: oh === sdkjfh is now known as Phenom [09:07] gaten: uh... where is it mounted? [09:07] CyberMad: #ubuntu-effects might be able to help you, but compiz has never worked well for me [09:07] AgentHeX: /media, like everything else [09:07] ok thanks [09:08] type "mount" and check to make sure it's mounted. can you verify it?

[09:10] I feel like my system has gotten slower. What can I do to figure out the cause? [09:10] wols: yes i am, but it is odd that it is the only mounted drive in /media that is a member of plugdev, everything else is root [09:10] AgentHeX: correct [09:10] are you able to see it on the cli as the user you're logged in as and not root? [09:11] AgentHeX: yes, for all intents and purposes, it works perfect. wait, let me amend my problem. it doesn't show up on the left hand side in nautilus, in the "shortcut" tree menu. i can browse to it by going to /media, but i can't see it listed in the shortcuts [09:12] how to convert pdf to jpeg ?

[09:41] Feracon : go to System >Administration > user and group [09:41] I recently installed Ubuntu 7.10, and I got my WUSB300N wireless card working on it. However, after logging out and back in ever sinse it hasnt worked [09:41] ICQnumber, that didn't work btw >_> [09:42] Im chatting here through XP unfortunatly =\ [09:42] can I install ubuntu to a virtual pc? [09:42] Enos: yes [09:43] I even reformatted my linux partition and reinstalled the NDISWrapper and NIC drivers [09:43] and still it will not work [09:43] Feracon: hehe shame on you... :) [09:43] I want to install it to Connectix Virtual PC in windows [09:43] Enos: it's actually owned by Microsoft now. [09:43] Ive only spent about 30 minutes in the Ubuntu OS and its addicting i want my internet to work on it >< [09:43] Enos: and it's free. [09:43] Feracon: unless you give us error messages we cannot help. does the wlan interface show up in ifconfig -a? what does dmesg say, etc? [09:44] AgentHeX: yes I know, I have an old version [09:44] I am getting no error message thats whats so diffucult about this [09:44] which is connectix [09:44] Feracon, did you try opening up a terminal and Feracon, did you try sudo modprobe -r -f sudo modprobe [09:44] Feracon: have you turned on restricted drivers? [09:44] It is stuck on receiving key from wireless router, and will not let me perform any action [09:44] Is it okay to run ubuntu desktop 7.10 as server? [09:44] Feracon: Well i give up getting my software RF kill switch to work in linux, and went online used 25$ and got me a out of the box working PCMCIA card.... [09:44] No peter [09:44] Enos: other VM solutions include VMware, VirtualBox, Qemu (and kqemu), and Parallels (if you have Intel VT or AMD SVM extensions on your CPU) [09:45] also if you're trying to access the internet by wifi then its more than likely you need wifi drivers for your computer! [09:45] I tried to install ubuntu in connectix but I failed [09:45] I have the WUSB300N.tar driver set [09:45] Enos: of course, you could go crazy and install Xen running Ubuntu as dom0 and try to get WinXP as domU, but that's just more trouble than it's worth :-P [09:45] they worked the first time [09:45] Enos: then download Virtual PC from Microsoft. again, it's free. [09:46] Does anyone know a easy way to get the system to run in level 1 ? [09:46] Feracon: so it is your wifi card that isn't working? [09:46] AgentHeX: I will, when I have better connection [09:46] Or maybe its 3, which ever level it is that stops it from re entering X after you exit it [09:46] Feracon: do you mean runlevel1? [09:46] yes! runlevel sir [09:46] AgentHeX: I even had to order the ubuntu cd [09:46] I need to get out of X in order to install Nvidia drivers [09:46] AgentHeX: I have 7.04 [09:46] Enos: you on dial-up or something? tin cans and a string maybe? [09:47] Enos: :-D [09:47] Feracon: echo "false" >/etc/X11/default-display-manager [09:47] AgentHeX: yes I'm [09:47] Wols: thankyou, will that permanently stop it from auto re entering X ? [09:47] wols: That'll make X start then immediately exit [09:47] yes [09:48] Enos: if you tighten the string, you will get less packet loss. [09:48] what string lol [09:48] hi, im having some problems with the sound on ubuntu 7.10 .. im a linux newbie, but iv had help from others, and they cant figure it out.. When ever i have Rythmbox open, i cant get sound to work in VLC.. and vice versa.. only one program that uses sound can be runnin at the time.. anyhone know what could be wrong ? [09:48] Amaranth: why would it? [09:48] Enos: between the tin cans [09:48] btz: no dmix or other software mixer [09:48] wols: Because it'll start X, run 'false' under X, then when false exits X will exit [09:48] AgentHeX: do u have any junk hardware lying around? [09:48] Enos: tons [09:49] AgentHeX: why don't u send me some :) [09:49] wols, so i have to install dmix? or what? i dont know what that is. as i said, im totally fresh to linux, im still learning :) [09:49] Enos: old stuff [09:49] AgentHeX: I need old stuff [09:49] Enos: PII 233MHz with no RAM [09:49] nothing better?

[09:51] AgentHeX: why don't send me, hey [09:51] Enos: truth is i'd never follow through. there's sentimental value in the crap i have. [09:51] Enos: but i hate mailing stuff [09:51] Enos: i hate mail [09:51] Feracon: Uninstall it [09:51] Enos: hate mail [09:51] Enos: hate [09:51] Uninstall what?

I know it provides its own implementation of the compiler, etc. [10:59] /usr/bin/java [11:00] amidaniel|away: it might use jikes, but it certainly doesn't provide its own java runtime library [11:00] hangt thanks! [11:00] any one [11:00] plz help [11:00] probably not that much help these days with samba, usually only have to copy a couple files, so i use scp [11:00] wols: but i step aside if you are willing to guide her through manual instalation of the ati.com driver (something she will have to do every time the kernel, mesa, or the x server updates) [11:00] wols: No, it doesn't provide the runtime, just a compiler (and a bad one at that ...)

[11:36] GOdFAThe1: no sound in Quake 3? [11:36] GOdFAThe1: can you expand on the problem [11:37] When I try to run q3 the screen is blank, I printed the log and it shows a sound initialization issue [11:37] GOdFAThe1: sound shouldn't stop the screen from launching [11:37] GOdFAThe1: that's not the usual problem, pastebin the error? [11:37] evo7, open your firewall and it should be under policy or traffic rules something similar like that, in pidgin open accounts, click the account you are having problems with and click modify on the advanced tab it shows the port pidging is using to connect to the IM service [11:37] ikonia: it does. old known problem in quake3 based games with alsa [11:37] ok brb [11:37] Hello [11:38] wols: I'm certainly not aware of it [11:38] GOdFAThe1: google for "quake3 direct no sound" ;-) [11:38] LinuxJuggalo -> ok tq man .. i will find out [11:40] ikonia: I remember it frm enemy territory [11:40] hello [11:40] gordonjcp: do you know how to solve it yourself? I found some stuff online but if you know the answer might save me some time ;P haheh [11:40] hello [11:40] GOdFAThe1: no, because I don't know specifically what the problem is [11:40] I have question regarding crossover office [11:40] GOdFAThe1: but if you google for what I said, the first hit tells you how to fix the most common problem [11:40] ok ill see what happens [11:41] ciao [11:41] !jfgi | gordonjcp [11:41] gordonjcp: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

[11:42] does crossover office work better on certain distros? and if so, which? [11:42] him: I think its pretty imparcial [11:43] him: there may be incompatabilities between distro's component versions (glibc / X11 for example) [11:44] I am using ubuntu and it has not performed as I would have hoped... [11:44] magnetron: stop that, please [11:44] gordonjcp ? [11:44] ikonia: the !jfgi [11:44] him in what way, cross-over's support groups may be the best palce to ask [11:44] wols: I can't see it, [11:45] I haven't got time to sit and hand-hold people through fixing a simple thing, and I can point them to a whole raft of help that *will* fix their problem [11:45] magnetron: perhaps you've got the time to help him? [11:46] 12:41 < magnetron> !jfgi | gordonjcp [11:46] I do not wish to be a burden [11:46] wols: I don't have him on ignore yet I can't see him speak [11:46] is anyone implementing the apt-cacher with Acquire::http:Proxy? [11:46] him: burden to who ? [11:46] do you know what, maybe I just don't have time to help anyone at all any more, if that's the sort of thing people are going to come out with [11:46] !ask | him [11:46] him: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [11:47] whats a really good program for video conversion in Ubuntu? [11:47] zetheroo mencoder ? [11:47] is that a program? [11:47] zetheroo: yes [11:47] zetheroo: avidemux install it with add/remove applications [11:47] zetheroo: yes. ffmpeg too [11:47] heller? [11:47] zetheroo: mencoder or ffmpeg [11:47] I need something with a good easy to use GUI [11:47] zetheroo: What exactly are you trying to do? [11:48] Where can I get libpangoxft? Its not avalible at http://packages.ubuntu.com/. [11:48] zetheroo acidrip can be used as a front end to mencoder, not sure about ffmpeg [11:48] zetheroo: avidemux [11:48] dbe: pango should be build against xft in the pango package [11:48] I would like to be able to take my videos and convert them to smaller more compact files [11:48] zetheroo: avidemux will probably help you with that [11:48] ikonia: How can I check if its installed? [11:48] I don't use it, because I find the GUI really hard to use [11:48] dbe: dpkg -l | grep pango [11:49] mencoder is a command-line tool, and much easier [11:49] I think there were some problems in last upgrades.. I can't run any gtk app anymore [11:49] hmmm [11:49] ok [11:49] thanks all [11:49] zetheroo: what are you converting from and to? [11:49] I'll give avidemux a try [11:50] gnome doesn't start at all, gdm crashes when I click on preferences, gnome-terminal segfaults, XFCE doesn't start, Inkscape crashes when I open the save dialog [11:50] well... I want to convert many formats [11:50] all worked fine before last upgrade.. [11:50] ogg to mpg [11:50] ikonia: ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.2-0ubuntu3 Layout and rendering of internationalized te [11:50] ii libpango1.0-common 1.12.2-0ubuntu3 Modules and configuration files for the Pang [11:50] if you've got more than a couple of videos to convert, it's actually much faster to use a command-line tool and write a script to do it [11:50] mov to mgp [11:50] Crossover office works as advertised... with two minor problems... I can input English just fine, but when i attempt to input japanese it gives me question marks. So I boot into japanese and it solves that problem... the input is still alittle strange but works. The second problem is more troubling. I get parts of my word documents appearing in a huge font blown up on my screen. If I minimize work the large text still remains for a breif [11:50] period [11:50] etc [11:50] ikonia: I cant see libpangoxft there. [11:50] dbe: thats because it may not be a pacakge, pango should be built against xft as I said earlier [11:51] ikonia: Ok [11:51] him: I'd take that up with cross-over support groups [11:51] Anyone had this problem? [11:51] dfd: if gnome is segfaulting, I'd re-install ubuntu [11:52] dfd: you could go around the houses trying to trouble shoot that === desti_T2 is now known as desti [11:52] ikonia, it started segfaulting from the last upgrade.. I'm using stable.. I can't see what I did wrong [11:52] ok, thankyou. I will have to do that. I would be totally willing to use openoffice if it did not handle footnotes soo poorly [11:53] is there an easy way to make another ext3 partition on another hdd while installing ubuntu [11:53] at the moment I installed KDE to have a desktop environment, but I need to use inkscape for my work [11:53] dfd something has not gone well, but as I said, a sefault can take a while to gor through, your probably best just re-installing ubuntu unless it's critical [11:53] and also firefox crashes when I open a save dialog.. [11:53] dfd: what are you doing, gnome/xfce/kde all on the same box ? [11:53] I used only gnome [11:53] dfd: how are you using firefox if you can't load a desktop ? [11:53] dfd: then why are you installing kde and xfce [11:54] ikonia, to have a desktop, since gnome doesn't start anymore [11:54] dfd: ok, so kde is a work around [11:54] yes, it is a workaround for gnome, but I still need to run firefox, inkscape, etc [11:54] they all crashes when I open save dialogs [11:54] dfd: I would re-install ubuntu unless you have mission critical data on [11:55] couldn't I just reinstall broken packages? [11:55] dfd: which package is broke ? [11:55] eh.. I would like to know [11:55] dfd: EXACTLY ! [11:55] I'm trying to install a usb accessrunner modem, in ubuntu.com says to excecute cxacrufw-extract ~/CnxEtU.sys ~/cxacru-fw.bin but i get the message cxacrufw not found.. what am I doing wrong ? [11:55] dfd: it can takes ages to work through a segfault [11:55] dfd: something as big as gnome will take a while, hence why I said it is probably easier to re-install [11:56] I could try reinstalling all gtk packages [11:56] dfd: do you think it's a gtk problem [11:56] yeah.. since every app using gtk crashes [11:56] Where can I get gtk+-2.0? [11:57] is there a way to uninstall/reinstall a package without having to uninstall all its dependent packages? [11:57] dfd: yes. man dpkg [11:58] ok [11:58] dfd: Just apt-get remove package && apt-get install package [11:58] dbe, but that would remove all packages on which package relies on as well [11:58] hi, i just tried to install ubuntu 7.10 64bit on my new laptop (dell vostro 1500) however when i hit enter at the first menu, my screen just turns off (not goes black, the backlight and everything turns off). help? === different_realit is now known as differentreality [11:59] dfd: Not that I know of. [11:59] does the AMD64 version of ubuntu allow for executing 32bit binaries ? [12:00] chief: yes [12:00] dbe, yes it does, I'm trying :-| [12:00] chief: but you will need the 32bit libs the 32bit program needs [12:00] chief: not without a 32bit environment installed too [12:00] chief: yes [12:00] so I have to install the 32bit env as well ? [12:00] chief: yes [12:01] I take it, it doesn't install by default like that ? [12:01] chief: no [12:01] chief: do you have a reason to use 64bit ? [12:01] bother [12:01] ikonia: other than ego, and because I can, no. :) [12:01] chief: then use 32bit [12:01] how come my ubuntu in gutsy alpha isn't upgraded to final release... i already updated everything using update manager... [12:02] it still looks like the alpha version, with the search icon [12:03] halp! [12:03] ikonia: I'd rather not do a total reinstall :) [12:03] onats: lsb_release -a [12:04] chief: unless you have a reason to use 64bit, you'll find it more hassle, and no benifits [12:04] ai [12:04] aii [12:04] ikonia: maybe, but I notice a performance boost while using 64 bit os. [12:05] chief: really ? where ? [12:05] erusul, it just states 7.10.. does the alpha version have an 'a' as in 7.10a? [12:05] ikonia: video / audio authoring work :) [12:05] chief: thats understandable, so you do have a "reason" [12:05] lol [12:05] ikonia: not something I think about :) [12:06] well I installed avidemux .... but it does not even open .ogg files [12:06] chief [12:06] chief: it's one of the area's 64bit shines [12:06] ikonia: indeed ;) [12:06] zetheroo: have you installed the codecs to be able to play ogg files [12:06] ikonia: I just played this ogg file [12:07] ikonia: it's only for 1 application, I'm sure I can find something equal to it somewhere.. Skale ( for composing tracker music ) [12:07] onats: if you upgraded with the update manager you are on the final version already [12:07] Anyone know why my mic would be skippy when using ventrilo with ALSA, but fine when using OSS? [12:07] erusul, ok thanks.. i'm just wondering why the search icon didn't disappear.. [12:07] erusul, you familiar with apt-cacher? [12:07] onats: the deskbar applet? [12:07] how to start clonezilla? any one? [12:07] erusul, yeah [12:08] that small magnifying icon on the top right [12:08] onats: i comes with the final version by default too [12:09] Hi all. I'm having connection issues in Pidgin. It refuses to connect to MSN (writing error) and AIM (connection reset by peer). I've apt-get remove --purgeed and reinstalled it and still the same.

[12:15] dissident: that depends on the questions I've just asked [12:16] ok [12:16] dissident: fixmbr on winXP [12:16] I need to play a sound file (anything really, a silent works too) in order to remove a scratching sound that is created when ALSA initiates. How can I automate this? I put "aplay silence.wav" in rc.local but that didnt help. If I execute it manually after boot it works fine?

[12:20] sebrock: but that doesn't appear to be working for you [12:20] sebrock, put the full path to the file ie "aplay /path/to/file/silence.wav" [12:20] ikonia: strange is that I can manually open a terminal and to it right after boot without problem [12:20] sebrock: have you put in some debug to make sure it actually runs the script, just a say "touch /tmp/worked" line in the rc sciprt [12:20] brobostigo: the forums didnt help.. search key words had no matches [12:20] noiesmo: thats what I have, without the quotes in rc.local [12:21] ok, i dont know how to help anyfurther, sorry bobba/ [12:21] sebrock, I put "aplay silence.wav" in rc.local what you said above [12:21] I need help copying a directory and its contents into an already existing directory with its own contents [12:21] sebrock: has /etc/rc.local execution bit on?

[12:39] wols yes [12:39] differentreality: there you have it. now use your brain for a second [12:39] wols I think it's on his desktop and he's not in the desktop dir [12:39] i am [12:40] ikonia: he tries to run a unecessary command since he is unable to use one of his 2 remaining braincells [12:40] wols: I've not followed the whole post [12:40] wols: if your having a bad day or maybe just a litle tired of doing tech support perhaps you need to take a break. being rude and insulting does not help anybody [12:41] wols how am I exactly supposed to know if it necessary or not since i'm not familiar with linux and I 'm trying to learn ? [12:41] IdleOne: suit yourself and help him then [12:41] isnt this the same guy who was nasty to some guy for his english the other day. T: [12:41] did anyone try ntfs on linux from paragon company ? [12:41] riotkittie: !ops is the command if you feel like it [12:41] dissident not from paragon [12:42] dissident: the ntfs-3g drivers are included [12:42] dissident: why would you when there is ntfs-3g in ubuntu [12:42] * elkbuntu looks at wols [12:42] wols: I dont know his issue and probably cant help him. I am not telling you to not help i am saying that I have noticed for the past few days you being rude to a few users and honestly that is against #ubuntu channel rules and the CoC. [12:42] is ntfs-3g that good ? [12:42] err #ubuntu [12:42] dissident: its becoming more acceptable === ConstyXV is now known as ConstyXIV [12:42] ah ha, so it *is* that guy ;) [12:42] dissident: I still don't use it, but most people who are using it report well of it [12:43] riotkittie: yes as a matter of fact [12:43] dissident: it seems to be okay. i use it sparingly as i really dont use NTFS. [12:44] dissident: just remember it "can" cause corruption, but reports of those issues semm much less [12:44] ^ yea. and i'd be wary of using it if you dont have a win OS installed... or use it on a portable drive and have access to a win OS [12:45] I'd be more wary of the paragon software [12:45] is it safe for production server to upgrade from feisy to gusty? [12:45] I think is also a fair comment [12:45] qiyong: thats your call if its production [12:45] will paragon be better or worse then, cause i have a sata disk with old game roms (you know them) and i want to use them on an emulator [12:45] dissident: contact paragone for support questions [12:45] differentreality: to run a binary file on the same directory you are on you have to call it like this ./cxacru-fw.bin [12:45] dissident: netfs-3g is in ubuntu, paragon is not [12:45] dissident: its going to be personal opinion [12:46] erUSUL: if only it were a bianry to be called [12:46] and i am not planning on using a windows os ever again [12:46] erUSUL it says that cannto execute binary file [12:46] dissident: then why do you keep ntfs partitions around? [12:46] so that is why i want it to be ok [12:46] dissident: then use the ntfs read only driver and copy them off [12:46] differentreality: try chmod +x cxacrufw-extract [12:47] for simply copying over the data to somewhere else you can just as well use ntfs kernel support which is read only [12:47] how large is this drive? why not copy things over and format it to a linux friendly file system [12:47] erUSUL: have you read the howto he linked to? [12:47] wols: nope [12:47] erUSUL: it shows [12:47] that seems usefull [12:48] erUSUL i tried chmod +x cxacru-fw.bin and then i got the message i told you... as far as what u say is concerned i get th emessage cxacrufw-extract: no such file or directory [12:48] dissident: your missing a dir it wants [12:48] dissident: I've not read your how to, but the error is saying " I can't find the directory cxacrufw-extract" [12:48] oops [12:48] differentreality: i have to go for a few minutes sorry [12:48] not dissident [12:48] :/ [12:48] differentreality: I've not read your how to, but the error is saying " I can't find the directory cxacrufw-extract" [12:49] differentreality: your missing a dir it wants [12:49] ikonia: it isn't saying that either [12:49] he is not [12:49] :-( [12:49] wols: the error "no such file or dir" seems a reasonable warning [12:49] wols: am I missing something from his howto ? [12:49] ikonia: xcacrufw-extract certainly isn't a directory [12:49] wols: another propriatary binary ? [12:50] is this possible : in windows xp creating a linux partition on another hdd [12:50] it's a (in this case) unneeded script/program [12:50] dissident: not really [12:50] copy all my stuff over there [12:50] wols: ok so he's missing a file rather than a directory [12:50] dissident: yes [12:50] ikonia: why wouldn't it be possible [12:50] dissident: but why you'd want to creat one I don't know [12:50] wols: unless he's using fat32 he'd have to use tools like the ext2 drivers [12:51] creating a partition can be done with any fdisk [12:51] wols: he doesn't actually mean partition, he mines file system that can be accessed [12:51] because then i copy my files to linux part and then i delete my windows and replace it with linux os [12:51] wols: although he said the word partition, his previous posts suggest he wants a file system [12:51] creating a filesystem in that partition is something else. but even that can be done afaik (partition magic should be able to for example) [12:51] i have to modprobe one of my devices manually every time i boot, is there any way to automate this task? [12:52] i have an extra hdd you see [12:52] is ther person [12:52] Cyclopes: man modules [12:52] that was help me in here [12:52] i sure hope so plz are u here [12:52] !ask | CRoWsNeST [12:52] CRoWsNeST: Don't ask to ask a question.

[12:57] dissident: doesn't make sense. copy the files you want to keep to a backup. format the windows partition. done [12:58] dissident: all can be done under ubuntu. what you can and should do under windows if you wish is of no concern of this channel. ask ##windows instead [12:58] yes but that back has to be better ext3 or not ? [12:58] if you want to do something under windows that is [12:58] no it hasn't [13:00] ok, so getting thing and reading is no problem , i don't need something fancy then, cause when i was in ubuntu i couldn't read my windows hard drive [13:00] hey guys, quick question, how do i kill a window in irssi ? [13:00] lol [13:00] /window close ? [13:00] hi could anyone point me in the right direction to getting my scroll arrows to work, ie, you hold you scroll button down and then a cross hair apears and you can move the window up, down, left and right [13:01] ah [13:01] ty [13:01] when i press the quit button it freezes my entire desktop [13:01] yw [13:01] dissident: we gave you over time at least 2 ways to read it. and we're vers sure they worked in ubuntu for several versions now [13:01] ibanez, i dont use irssi, but irssi.org has lots of info and stuff, it might be useful you look there to find out all there is to know :) [13:01] i use xchat [13:01] lol [13:01] but i am playing with irssi [13:01] cause im bored [13:01] i've checked out their site and read [13:01] it's nice [13:01] ibanez: welcome to the light [13:01] but never told me that i don't tink :P [13:01] lol ty [13:02] ok thanks [13:02] does the flash plugin work in amd64 firefox properly? wondering whether to put amd64 ubuntu on my laptop or i386, but I need to have flash, and also wine must work properly [13:02] ibanez, there is also #irssi here on freenode :) [13:02] oh nice [13:02] ty elkbuntu :) [13:02] simmerz: there is no 64bit flash [13:02] it wasn't listed on their site [13:02] afternoon [13:02] only efnet and ircnet [13:02] when i press the quit button (the one that shows the shutdown options), it freezes my entire desktop. anyone know how to fix this? [13:02] wols: no, but the flashplugin-nonfree package is available for amd64 [13:02] simmerz: no [13:03] wols: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=flash&searchon=names&subword=1&version=gutsy&release=all [13:03] slight Gnome problem :) ive got some menu entries in Applications/Other which doesn't seem to want to delete via the menu manager?

[13:03] gday everyone [13:03] want to up to 4GB [13:04] simmerz: the pros of running 64bit are very marginal. it's propably a good idea to go for i386 in desktop-oriented installation as a general rule [13:04] simmerz: i386 can only use up to 3.5GB per process at most [13:04] I'm having some trouble getting Flash to work in gutsy, especially with sound [13:04] the sound is working in everything else [13:04] what is the best/recommended codec for streaming video? [13:04] anyone have a guide/howto to installing flash [13:04] wols: that's fine, but the system as a whole can address the whole 4GB? as in, 4GB is visible to the system [13:04] ? [13:04] shiester_miester: run the browser from an xterm, check for any messages in the xterm when you play flash with sound [13:04] good idea [13:04] when i press the quit button (the one that shows the shutdown options), it freezes my entire desktop. does anyone know how to fix this? [13:05] also the adobe plugin won't install, just the open source one\ [13:05] :/ [13:05] can you shut down from the command line Sharpie? [13:05] its installed, but not [13:05] xvoltagexx: yes [13:05] shiester_miester: gnash is far from usable and flas from adobe is currently borked [13:05] could be your video card [13:05] oh is it [13:05] so both aren't good atm? [13:06] xvoltagexx: why the heck would my video card freeze 1 specific dialog? [13:06] wols: is that correct? [13:06] whats wrong with the adobe one? [13:06] Heyall [13:06] shiester_miester: mine works fine... [13:06] shiester_miester: can't be downloaded cause md5 is wrong [13:06] since adobe updated theirs [13:06] oka then [13:06] that is a video card intensive action [13:06] :/ [13:07] xvoltagexx: if my video card can handle bioshock, it can handle that dialog [13:07] xvoltagexx: also, i've been on ubuntu for about 2 monthes now and it started yesterday [13:07] What is the main differende between a kernel module and a program? [13:07] shiester_miester: did you do this? http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux [13:07] kernel module runs in kernelspace, programs in userspace [13:08] not sure what to tell ya Sharpie [13:09] Sharpie: what changed yesterday or the day before? and: does shutting down from the commandline work? [13:09] GOdFAThe1, yeah i tried to run the rpm with no success, lol [13:09] should I do the tar or the YUM? :/ [13:09] shiester_miester: tar [13:09] tar [13:09] k [13:09] lol [13:09] :P [13:09] shiester_miester: if you really must download it from there (which is bad) [13:09] wols: worked fine for me?? [13:09] why is it bad? [13:10] I have some trouble with my soundcard in ubuntu 7.10.. i can only have one program open at a time that uses sound. if i have rythmbox open and then open VLC, vlc gets no sound.. and vice versa.. anyone know what this might me ? [13:10] !worksforme [13:10] be [13:10] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [13:10] cause it bypasses your package management [13:10] wols, what would you recommend? [13:11] i installed it with apt-get, but its like it wasn't recognised by firefox [13:11] shiester_miester: checking postinst files for flashplayer-nonfree, however I dunno if you are able to correct the md5 problem there [13:11] shiester_miester: what exactly did you install? [13:11] xvoltagexx: fixed it -_- [13:11] sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [13:12] xvoltagexx: it's because i removed gnome-power-manager from startup because i thought it was unnecessary :/ [13:12] and then i installed gnash which /sort of/ worked [13:12] but it didnt have any sound and killed the cpu [13:13] can anyone give a recommendation on whether I should use powersaved or powernowd? which one is the default manager in Ubuntu? [13:14] Anyone able to help with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 - Further info is that it also affects XP (or other OSes) under VirtualBox on 7.10, but not when ran by themselves.

I have a little question. can some one identify that packages ( i mean driver packages) that relate to it specifically? [13:14] Actually I want to module these drivers for Slax to enable it to run this wireless mode. Any ideas? [13:15] help please... i can't get to the GUI of firestarter... i have sudo firestarter --start-hidden in start up, but no icon appears in the system tray... nor can i get to the GUI via system>admin>firestarter... i can see that it's running though through sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status [13:15] gvsa123: what happens when you try to start its gui? [13:15] wols: nothing... \ [13:16] chazco: have you tried firebug? [13:16] what does it say if you write firestartar in the console? [13:16] Probably... not firefox though, also gets IE in the Virtualbox on 7.10 [13:17] what is user folders update? (in Sessions) [13:17] wols: it's still running though... i've also tried replacing the start up command with gksu, with -s and --start, with /usr/sbin/firestarter start, but still no GUI [13:17] any one know what that room campiz-fuison is called [13:17] i need in there fast [13:17] gvsa123: open an xterm and try to start it from there [13:17] wols, running the installer from the tar worked, but it still doesn't have any sound :( [13:17] chazco: I responded on the forums [13:18] CRoWsNeST: #compiz-fusion ? === cassidy_ is now known as cassidy [13:18] compiz-fusion [13:18] shiester_miester: I told you what to look for [13:18] oh yeah i did run it in a terminal, it spat out a bunch of error messages\ [13:18] cleaton: with plain firestarter, i get insufficient priviledges...

In the instructions it's telling me to add some drivers, or to configure a driver. Something dealing with OSS - which is some sort of sound utility??? - I dunno. Anyone know about "configuring OSS" or what this is? [13:22] CRoWsNeST, do you mean #ubuntu-offtopic? [13:22] shiester: no specifically, but sound in general [13:22] no [13:22] CRoWsNeST: would you like a list of irc channels? [13:22] shiester: what version ubuntu you running? [13:22] 7.10 [13:23] do you know much about the sound drivers installed? [13:23] wols: must be something with my gutsy install since i never had problems with edgy and feisty and i have all the same configs following the steps in their website [13:23] it was like campiz fusion [13:23] or somthing [13:23] like 'alsa' or 'oss" ? [13:23] compiz-fusion [13:23] CRoWsNeST, that has absolutely nothign to do with ubuntu whatsoever [13:23] #ubuntu-effects? that channel's dead, AFAIK [13:23] #compiz-fusion [13:24] forwards there, if it still forwards. yea. [13:24] riotkittie: it forwards to compiz-fusion [13:24] grrrrrrr i lost it [13:24] sheister: i've heard of youtube vids not playing sound sometimes - which i believe uses the Flash player. Related perhaps? I dunno... [13:24] wound you say the main difference between a kernel module and a user program is that a module doesnt run sequentially? [13:24] CRoWsNeST: what do you need help with? [13:25] rssde: kernel module supports the Kernel - the runtime operating system. User Program runs ON TOP OF the Kernel. [13:25] rssde: do you mean that the kernel is multi-threaded? [13:26] scowby, thats the biggest difference? [13:26] Trying firebug now, not having any luck :( [13:26] scowby, just read that modules dont run sequentially. [13:26] er, no luck? [13:26] It doesnt seem to work unless the page actually loads [13:27] yeah, exactly [13:27] Which means i cant get any info from it [13:27] the page doesnt even load? [13:27] Not fully... it gets a little way then stops [13:28] Only does this on Ubuntu 7.10 [13:28] well, firebug will still work [13:28] If i click "Stop" then it displays some info [13:28] when I run sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss I get a permission denied eventhough I have dwrx permission for all item [13:28] 55 requests, 1.2 minutes (it hadnt loaded by then when i clicked stop) [13:29] er, at least it has in the past, try opening a new tab, open firebug, and go to the NET tab, THEN put in the address and load the page [13:29] When i clicked stop it showed more stuff... everything seems to have taken ages to load compared to other sites [13:29] gvsa123: you need gksudo, not sudo [13:29] #edubuntu [13:30] hello [13:30] anybody see me?!? [13:30] hey dreaper [13:30] chazcoL did it work?

[13:30] hello dreaper [13:30] danbhfive - same as before [13:30] do you speak polish [13:30] chazco: what do you mean? firebug shows nothing? [13:30] ??!?! [13:31] It does when i click stop to interupt firefox [13:31] GOdFAThe1: sudo bash then "echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" [13:31] rssde: what do you mean sequentially?

What does this indicate? [13:32] chazco: well, do you see anything taking a long time to load under the net tab? I don't think I, or possibly anyone else, can help much without knowing the webpage [13:32] scowby, I was just currious what the biggest difference was, found a page that said "kernel module doesn't run sequentially" [13:33] Kamilion: kernel crash [13:33] Do the lights mean anything specific? [13:33] chazco: but firebug shows something, right? [13:33] Nothing seems to be causing it in particular :( I've heard that before, but i cant get a temp loging or anything [13:33] wols: Thanks, what did "sudo bash" actually do, forgive me for being new at this [13:33] GOdFAThe1: starts a root shell [13:33] I checked /var/log/*, but the kernel must have crashed hard. [13:33] can anyone tell me where to copy the bootstrap files for windows xp if I want to do a PXE lan setup? [13:34] chazco: is this a banking site? [13:34] This is particularly annoying because even virtualbox cant help... so I need to duel-boot [13:34] GOdFAThe1: sudo doesn't work very well on its own with echo > /to/some/proc/setting [13:34] Nope, university [13:34] only system change recently was installing virtualbox today. Could it's /dev be causing problems in my kernel or otherwise tainting it? [13:34] chazco: tried it in IE yet? [13:35] wols: Will I need to return it to the way it was before running sudo bash as I noticed the symbols changed from $ to # [13:35] how do i install this sun-java6-plugin [13:35] On a normal XP - it works... on virtualbox + XP under 7.10 it doesnt [13:35] oops wrong thing [13:35] wols - On a normal XP - it works... on virtualbox + XP under 7.10 it doesnt [13:35] GOdFAThe1: might be a good idea. "exit" [13:35] never mind i got it [13:36] wols: Thanks [13:36] can anyone tell me where to copy the bootstrap files for windows xp if I want to do a PXE lan setup? [13:36] speedhunt3r: how is this ubuntu related? [13:36] wols: it's not except i installed ubuntu using the same setup and i need to install xp on a laptop with no floppies and the cdrom isn't working [13:37] So... i have two choices afaiks... use 7.04 (which doesnt work well with my laptop) or dual-boot XP (not enough space really) [13:37] hey. I have a LVM raid0 set up on 2 of my raptor HDDs. I just did some benchmarks (hdparm -t) which concluded that each drive has a read speed of ~65-70MB/s. however, when I do the benchmark on the combined raid0, I get the same speeds as on the single drives. any ideas what might be causing the 100% slowdown?

[14:35] bonkers-matt: you're running gutsy right? was the computer already running when you plugged in the drive (hotplug) or did you start up the computer with the drive attached [14:35] rgnr: dpkg -L rtorrent will tell you, but why do you need to know? [14:35] jrib: got an error Could not read resource file: ~/.rtorrent.rc [14:36] gordonjcp the usb is ext3 and the linux partition in my laptop also [14:36] bazhang, sorry, yes gutsy, yes computer always running . its also a server so i dont turn it off [14:36] cze [14:36] rgnr: that is not an error, it is just telling you that you have not written a .rtorrent.rc [14:36] bonkers-matt: not sure what new drives are formatted in these days--could it be ntfs?

[14:38] manually [14:38] bonkers-matt: well you can use a command line method to format it [14:38] rgnr: why did you not use the repositoriesL [14:38] like i doled files to desktop [14:38] how can you finde out what gateway you use? [14:38] the info is not on ifconfig or iwconfig [14:38] bazhang, yes im looking at the man page for mkfs now [14:38] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47221/ can someone look at that and talk to me? [14:38] jrib: cuz they say u need stable version [14:39] hi, how the weather auskadi? [14:39] pues mal [14:39] rgnr: what exactly is wrong with the version in the repositories?

[14:41] BFC: resize2fs [14:41] bonkers-matt: err sorry--cfdisk (ncurses based) might be easier I defer to brobostigon for the -t vfat question [14:41] m0dY: move your mouse around [14:41] Moniker it arose when i tried to use googleearth [14:42] How can I install Pidgin on Dapper Drake? [14:42] there is no pidgin via apt-get [14:42] bazhang, thanks ,btw what is 'ncurses' it recently came up when i was trying to compile a debian kernel [14:42] Oh the man page sounds good [14:42] Moniker42, it arose when i tried to use googleearth [14:43] rhythmbox keeps saying "Could not open resource for writing" then doesn't play the track [14:43] thanks gordonjcp [14:43] bonkers-matt: depending on what format you want the partition to be you use mkfs -t format, so it could be -t ntfs or -t ext3. [14:43] anyone know whats causing that? [14:43] brobostigon, i want FAT32 [14:43] jrib: ok got it from repos [14:43] --t vfat then. [14:43] IanLiu go to pidgin.im and download it [14:43] My kernel after install on VMware is (-generic). My CPU is Interl Core(TM)2, so should I be using -386 or x86/64 kernel? [14:43] anyone knows about WUBI ? [14:43] brobostigon, is it -t vfat or -t fat32? [14:44] vfat [14:44] jrib: tells the same cannot find rtorrent.rc [14:44] Twinkletoes, 386 is x86 [14:44] brobostigon, thanks! [14:44] welcome [14:44] bonkers-matt: ncurses is kind of a beefy version of cli where you can tab through choices [14:44] my ubuntu Gutsy laptop works great, but sometime around every 5-20 minutes it will freeze for 5-30 seconds, then come back. When it comes back, I see on the system monitor that the CPU was maxed out during the freeze. How can I diagnose this? [14:44] 64bit is awkward atm if you neeed to use things like flash plugin, wine etc i would not recommend it [14:44] jrib: where do i have to create it [14:44] bazhang, thanks - good explanation !

[14:44] EdgEy: SO should I move away from the -generic kernel and get all the -386 stuff? [14:45] the menu fonts in photoshop running under wine look like crap.. is there a way to fix this? [14:45] EdgEy: I run 64 bit and flash etc just uses the IA32 libs. It [14:45] auskadi, i don't know sorry [14:45] bonkers-matt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses for a better one :} [14:45] rgnr: like I said, that is not an error. It is just telling you it did not find one. You don't *need* to create one. You just put custom settings you want in ~/.rtorrent.rc if you want so that everytime you start rtorrent, it will read the file and load your settings [14:45] yep this is the problem - i think it is badly compiled maybe [14:46] ok ill reinstall fiesty MO [14:46] ok ill reinstall fiesty Moniker42 [14:46] rhythmbox keeps saying "Could not open resource for writing" then doesn't play the track. anyone know whats causing this?

"alsa" or "oss" or "arts" or "esd" are common ones. The first two access sound modules directly. The second two connect to two common sound daemons (that interface to the modules directly).

It's just a kernel module that loads and presents a unified sound interface for programs to use (and share) the sound hardware.

I just got this machine as a gift [17:17] ah yes [17:17] i see [17:17] how can I fix that [17:17] how do you check the encoding of a file in linux and hten change it to utf8? [17:17] Ciao a tutti ! [17:17] i would say delete sdb1 first... :) [17:18] ArsHermetica: are you on the machine right now? running Gutsy? [17:18] bobgill, you DONT want to keep any data?

Heh. [17:18] ArsHermetica: can you presently access the machine? [17:19] Bazhang: Yes I can [17:19] Then make a new one.. this will trash all data on sdb1 and sdb2 [17:19] Dr_willis: what's the command? fdisk /dev/sdb1? [17:19] ArsHermetica: open up the terminal and see what lspci says [17:19] fdisk /dev/sdb :) sdb1 is not the drive. [17:19] bobgill, you want to keep sdb3 correct? [17:19] Dr_willis: yes definitely want to keep sdb3 [17:20] HI, is there anyway to change the short cut keys in desktop cubes? Ie away from alt/ctrl?

[17:21] ah, understood [17:21] ApacheBBQ: once you are at it install all the other gstreamer plugins [17:21] Is there a way to mount a drive so it turns up like a normal drive in nautilus/thunar, right now i have it mounted like this (fstab): /dev/sdc1 /home/alado/!HDD2 ext3 rw 0 0by which the drive of course mounts as a folder under alado. It would be nicer to have it in the left pane as a drive rather than, as i said, as a folder. [17:21] bobgill, if you manually delete 1 and 2. and carefully make a new partition with the start end of 1 5099 - it should make a new single partition. [17:21] ok, opened terminal, how do I enter that command? [17:21] Bazhang: Thanks :) [17:21] ApacheBBQ: probably you need to enable the multiverse repo [17:21] erUSUL, How is that done..I am very new to this. [17:21] aladdinsane: switching to uuid can slove a lot of those issues [17:21] hi trying to apt-get install amarok, but its trying to install ruby, which i don't want since i already have custom compiled ruby on my machine.. is there any way to avoid this? [17:22] ApacheBBQ: go to System>Admin>Software Sources and check all the repos from the first tab [17:22] ArsHermetica: just type lspci and tell what the last line or so says (better not paste it in the channel though) [17:22] ok [17:22] Dr_willis: ok, I did sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 [17:22] ApacheBBQ: also read the link ubotu told you [17:22] Iggz: no worries :} [17:22] hi [17:22] hi gidna [17:22] not found [17:22] oops, bazhang: not found [17:22] what I do if write ls << ciao on a console? [17:23] bobgill, hit 'h' to read the fdisk help. :) [17:23] bobgill, note that NO changesd are made untill you actually 'w' write the changes to disk. SO if you mess up. just exit. dont write [17:23] gidna: nothing usefull [17:23] ArsHermetica: you opened the terminal and typed in lspci? [17:23] Dr_willis: ok I hit "d" but it keeps saying "no partition is defined yet" [17:23] I want to know.. [17:23] bazhang: yes [17:24] bazhang: sorry I typed 1 not l [17:24] bobgill, use 'p' to print the layout [17:24] ok [17:24] bobgill, ALSO - i recall on some systems you can delete partitions/chagne the disks.. but then the kernel dosent see the changes till you reboot.. some sort of bug/quirk. [17:24] gidna: i have tried the shell thinks it is an unfinished command becouse it is bogus [17:24] bobgill, that may be your issue. [17:24] bazhang: it shows ALOT of stuff, what should I tell you? [17:25] well I can't seem to delete it [17:25] before I chase my tail too far into the woods, I have a question. Why couldn't I set up a VPN across the internet between my Ubuntu laptop and the Windows XP pc's I need to support, and and then simply use rdp for remote control. All the connection points have at least 512k dsl or cable connections. [17:25] bobgill, so i would say.. reboot and try it again. [17:25] ArsHermetica: the last line or two--maybe realtek, ralink, intel, something along those lines (but don't paste in channel) [17:25] gidna: ls >> ciao on the other hand will create a file ciao with th output of ls in it (overwritting ciao if it alrady exists) [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: so it is an issue? i just thought i set it up wrong? So what would be a possible solution then? [17:25] Dr_willis: but I haven't done anything yet.. there are no changes for it to see ? [17:25] bazhang: ok, where should I tell you? [17:26] bobgill, the earlier changes from cfdisk may be needing a reboot to see the changes. [17:26] ArsHermetica: ralink? realtek? what card for wireless [17:26] !uuid [17:26] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [17:26] no.. [17:26] Dr_willis: right but I didn't make any changes in cfdisk, I couldn't get it to go [17:26] I don't see this effect [17:26] Ricoh === MainFrame is now known as Recession [17:26] bobgill, ive seen this issue befor - had to reboot some of my systems during the isntall for the partitions to get seen. If thats not the case here.. im at a loss as to what to do. [17:27] ArsHermetica: ricoh wireless card? is there a number associated with it? [17:27] R5C843 [17:28] bazhang: I thought for sure that laptop had a broadcom 57 something [17:28] Or am I looking for network controller? [17:28] erUSUL, I get an error. Dependacy is not satisfiable. [17:28] bobgill, if fdisk cant delete the partitions.. well - thats scary. :( [17:28] bbl [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: I think you are right [17:28] Dr_willis: ok I will reboot in a minute and be back.. then we will see, thanks for the help [17:28] good luck [17:28] ArsHermetica: is there a listing for broadcomm as well? [17:29] bobgill: you might want to try gparted live to rework tose partitions [17:29] bazhang: the last few lines have Network controller, ethernetcontroller, generic sys periph, and sys periph [17:29] broadcom BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [17:29] yea [17:29] I apologize if i'm being a hassle [17:30] np [17:30] ArsHermetica: I am installing gutsy on a Dell C640 atm [17:30] * ArsHermetica chuckles. I loathed vista on this lappy but a friend put ubuntu on here for me, swore he'd help me figure it all out, and then got deployed [17:30] ArsHermetica: hassle is what we live for! [17:30] How do I convert a file from ISO-8859 to utf8? [17:30] baz and jack: lol, thanks [17:31] ArsHermetica: the broadcom is the one let me check it may take a moment [17:31] <^^SSM^^> test [17:31] bazhang: no problem, thank you [17:31] bazhang: thanks for helping him/her...

All the windows boxes can see the aliases and the proper shares. A linux box sees the aliases, but only the share of the main servers hostname. what gives? what did i do wrong? [17:37] yeah, but with an o pls :) [17:37] bruenig: she only said "downloaded a bz2 file" not tar.bz2 or *.tbz [17:37] ^ samba [17:37] Bazhang: lemme check [17:37] erUSUL, Okay I got it working.
