[00:00] * nickrud was wondering what humorous thing to write about umbuntu, but soundray_ cut to the chase :) [00:00] its not that hard to spell, given you're using a keyboard [00:00] or a brain [00:00] littlebear72: skills? no, lucky encounters? perhaps haha [00:00] umbuntu [00:00] lol [00:00] hmm some people are getting mean these days [00:00] lol [00:01] answer all your questions [00:01] i don't think thats mean [00:01] no such thing as mean [00:01] hah i was kidding [00:01] just absence of kindness :P [00:01] I have a broken software RAID1 that drops to BusyBox upon boot. Does anyone have any suggestions/urls that might help? [00:01] TigranG, yes [00:01] i have tried it 3 times now and each time something went wrong in my life and i did not have time to learn ubu / nix and needed the comfort of a simplistic program like windoze lol [00:01] can someone reccommend me a good download manager other than Kget? something as good as free-download-manager on Windows in case anyone's heard of it [00:01] soldats: arithmetic, harmonic or geometric mean? [00:01] soundray_: HOw can I change the sample rate in audacity then... I should probably restart to clear whatever is using the soundcard and start from there [00:01] i knew windoze well so i use it when my life runs amok [00:02] finally fixed my apt-cacher! whew! [00:02] bamsamba, Downthemall [00:02] read those books and you will be aswering all the questions [00:02] littlebear72: my main desktop runs windows, my laptop ubuntu - desktop does....games...thats it haha [00:02] * TigranG tried to compile a kernel yesterday and learned he's dumber than he thought [00:02] when i get to login screen the font size is really big, cant read ok, after login ubuntu prompts a window saying that the X-conf and the GNOME-conf files have different keyboard values.. Do you know ehat goes wrong? [00:02] soundray_, hah you got me [00:02] littlebear72: use my laptop for everything else, including work stuff (in a windows environment) [00:02] * nickrud thinks compiling a kernel is not a measure of intelligence, but of perseverance [00:02] littlebear72, i run it on virtual box :P [00:02] aleka: sounds like a good plan. Sorry, I'm not the best guy to advise on audio issues, contrary to what my nick might be seen to suggest [00:03] nickrud: well I got it lol, wasn't hard actually, just took forever [00:03] Heh.. that is what led me to believe you would be the 'perfect' person to bother :) [00:03] and then I was too lazy to build ndiswrapper for my wifi so I just went back to 2.6.22 [00:03] the one real sound expert doesn't come around much anymore ;( [00:03] crimsun: would you mind having a look at aleka's issue? [00:04] IamReck, well isnt downthemall a firefox ext? i can't find that using apt-get [00:04] bamsamba, yes it is, it runs with in firefox and its amazing. [00:04] aleka, what was your initial problem [00:05] Hi, installede the kde desk-top but didn't like it - anyway, this caused umbutu to upgrade itself to kumbutu - login screen, duel desktop log, etc. How to i return it to the single boot, one desktop state? I am assuming a long command line. Anyone help? :-) [00:05] heh, ok, lemme try [00:05] * bascule knows compiling kernels is easy, configuring them takes practice and knowledge [00:05] soldats: What is a good application to record stereo output from my soundcard other than Audacity? For some reason audcacity is not working for me and am wondering what other options there are... [00:05] soundray_: I lack backscroll. What's the summary?

[00:09] i followed the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile to compile [00:09] hiya folks. got an interesting little tickler for you. I've got a gutsy install I've been trying to convert to netbooted - so far it's gone pretty well.. the pxelinux.0 is doing its thing and the kernel with initrd image is loading. But during boot the kernel panics. just before that I see http://www.pastebin.ca/808879 - so I think maybe it's trying to initialise eth0 when it doesn't have to and is consequently losing /. [00:09] fabio_: you don't really need headers if you have the complete source [00:10] hmm but nvidia-installer is complaining [00:10] has anyone used azureus html web gui here? doesn't seem to be working on my installation [00:10] that it can't find the include/linux/version.h file [00:10] i used --kernel-source-path pointing to my source [00:10] my usb pads show up in device manager but dont respond in gxmame can somebody help please [00:11] aleka, have you tried jokosher [00:11] its more advanced but im not sure why audacity isnt working [00:11] why does rsync start as a service on startup? [00:11] soldats: Will do...didn't think it was stable enough last time I looked at it... Thanks~ [00:11] sharpie: because it's a service] [00:11] kitche: but it's run manually [00:11] aleka, hmm i heard it was stable but id look into it if you really want to edit music [00:12] sharpie: umm the client does [00:12] sharpie: but it's also a daemon [00:12] kitche: that does..what? [00:12] sharpie: so rsync the client can be used to rsync files [00:13] soldats: My basic need right now is being able to record playing music (kinda like replay radio in windows)... have stuff on my rhapsody playlist I want to record [00:13] question...i have just installed ubuntu...and im stuck in 800x600 and i wanna chuk my monitor out the window [00:13] aleka: You can try Sound Recorder [00:13] dyerotic: Hold off on that option for a few [00:13] aleka: it comes with ubuntu [00:13] what do you mean Jack_Sparrow?? i cant stand 800x600 and i tried that guide on the website and it didnt help [00:13] dyerotic: from cli.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:13] kitche: so..if i disable it, i won't be able to rsync? [00:13] ive done that i believe, and it still messes me up [00:14] dyerotic: Vesa driver will get you 1024x768 if you get locked out [00:14] im gonna do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:14] and see how it goes [00:14] sharpie: you can use rsync without rsyncd, but with reduced capabilities [00:14] soldats , TigranG >> Thanks [00:15] soundray_: what do you mean by "reduced capabilities"? [00:15] ok so i should choice vesa Jack_Sparrow? [00:15] soundray_: what won't i be able to do? [00:15] sharpie: no you will be able to but you just can't rsync files from that computer to another [00:15] aleka: What I did to get recording working is in Volume Control increase the 'In Gain' [00:15] aleka, ahh i get what you need. im not too sure but i think jokosher should suffice for now if it works. i do recording for bands but i use more professionla recording eqiptment for tha [00:15] dyerotic: try to setup your video card and monitor to their specs, but if you cant get it go to veas to get back here [00:15] kitche: oh, meaning that if i only rsync locally between drives, i can cancel the daemon? [00:15] compiz fusion is working in my gutsy, how can i customize it [00:15] None of those links did anything, I've already ran through the troubleshooting before. [00:15] why does my screen go black for a second, everytime i start a video? [00:15] ati video card+fglrx drivers [00:15] ok ill try [00:15] sharpie: rsync with rsyncd can sync files by transferring only the differing parts, for example.

[00:16] hahahah [00:17] soundray_: so if i only rsync locally, can i safely disable rsyncd? [00:17] lol [00:17] onats: I think there is [00:17] sharpie: it's safe to disable it in any case [00:17] onats: with VLC player [00:17] justinh: why dont you need the network?

It's a tough problem. As long as the ubuntu community asks people to do things "by hand" we aren't really offering any real alternative to commerical OSes...so maybe there'll be a better solution soon....

[00:42] um, reading that link doesn't answer my question- it's probably something really basic, but... I'd rather not make a mistake here. [00:42] I prefer the simpler method, and refuse any hardware I cant recomplie the drivers for [00:42] hairs2long: I'll have another play with initrd & see how I get on. if not, then I'll go with building my own kernel for a trip down memory lane. and if that doesn't work I could always buy a big usb stick ;) [00:42] Zog: well, we aren't mind readers.

Now i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.9 (not 100 percent on the version), and i'm at the partitoin screen. Need to know what I do to make sure it installs on the second 10 gig partition, and the format the third partition as ext2 [00:44] * [00:44] anybody had experience using "3" wireless broadband internet, the modem is a merlin xu870, and ubuntu does detect it when its inserted. the problem is that a wireless connection doesn't appear in the network settings app [00:45] * [00:45] check out whirlpool forums gunspoja that has prolly got a better more australian list of experience i am assumeing yoru a aussie [00:45] hey all. can someone tell me why the super+C command doesn't work in amaroK in 7.10? why am i being ignored?

[00:46] Zog: just need to do the partitioning using the "manual" method (at least that's what it is in current installers), and then set up your partitions how you want [00:46] you been to whirlpool forums ? [00:46] xcst: sure emerald is in gutsy might have ot install it though [00:46] Zog: what vesion of ubuntu are you using?... 6.9 doesn't exist..look Help/About Ubuntu [00:46] !anyone | MLeBlanc [00:46] MLeBlanc: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[00:47] MLeBlanc: perfect, you run in opengl, if you have a good graphics card and working drivers then it runs fine [00:47] soccer_hawk10, i thought the spacebar does that. try looking at the preferences menu i believe there is a key config menu for it. if there isnt im not sure. i haven t used it in a while [00:47] kelnsin: Might a 6600GT qualify as a good graphics card? I know it's a bit old. [00:47] MLeBlanc, depends on your system [00:47] ciao [00:47] okay, after manual, I'm guessing I set the bootable flag as on- and... then what do i need to set? ext2, or ext3? [00:47] How do I use S-Video out with Ubuntu? [00:48] :list [00:48] soundray_, in dmesg, there are a bunch of messages saying that it detected a GSM modem [00:48] MLeBlanc: if it runs wow in windows good enough for you, then it will do the same with linux [00:48] w0ot fixed my hibernate [00:48] xcst: i didnt understand the question... you can us the normal compiz gtk decorator [00:48] just changed how it put the computer into hibernate [00:48] soldats: What would you say about Xubuntu on an AMD Athlon 2600+, 1GB ram, nVidia GeForce 6600GT [00:48] soldats: nah, this is universal. it controls amarok from any screen. using the Super+B command, for example, skips the song even if i'm using firefox or any other program. i tried to change the shortcut key, but none work [00:49] hello...I am installing linux for the first time, Ubuntu 7.10 on a P3 1GHz with 256mb of RAM. On the install screen , I looked at the help and it said I needed 384 mb of RAM to install it. I googled for more info, and supposedly I can use other memory managers than Gnome, but how do I install the OS in the first place so I can replace Gnome? [00:49] Just reinstalled - wasn't there an art manager once? [00:49] amarok owns [00:49] kelsin: I am considering this for an install on an old PC, I have never tried running WoW on it. [00:49] weith, most software is 32bit anyway [00:49] gunspoja: I see -- in that case you shouldn't be looking for a wireless interface. Configure ppp instead. [00:49] MLeBlanc, hah that should run pretty good as far as i now but i think WOW prefers to run with 2gigs of ram [00:49] soundray_, how do i do that? I've never used wireless before :( [00:49] Zog: i dont' usually use the Live CD, but is there an option to like, "Use free space" or something like that [00:49] soldats: Alrighty, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot! [00:49] Rafabe, the reason you need 384 is becuase the cd is a live install... i would suggest installed xubuntu on that machine [00:49] rafabe: you might want to consider a different distro or an older version of ubuntu [00:49] Rafabe: download the alternate cd and use that to install a command line system, or just to complete the normal installation. At either point you can then install any other packages you want (including other light wight windows managers) [00:49] gunspoja: System-Administration-Network-Modem connection [00:49] tek: will it give me the option to use Xubuntu on the installation if I proceed? [00:50] soccer_hawk10, hmm sorry i havent used it in a while if the commands or config dont work id try the amarok main site [00:50] errr...huh [00:50] soldats: alright, thanks [00:50] erUSUL, how about the themes? how can i install it? the theme files are all .emerald [00:50] is that a program or something i need to run in a terminal? [00:50] DIL: that's only true for closed source software [00:50] gunspoja: does dmesg give you any indication of the device name? [00:50] whats the command if i want to uninstall an application? [00:50] timotimotimo that is borderline ridiculous advice to Rafabe [00:50] kelsin: so no way to get this standard Desktop CD to install? I have to download a different version? [00:50] Rafabe, dunno never installed it.. but its basically the same thing as ubuntu just using xfce4 for its windows manager [00:50] is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, it have a problem with my memory ? [00:50] MLeBlanc, WOW is pretty big and always wants a lot of memory so im only saying it might not run so smooth [00:50] waseem: "sudo apt-get remove " or "sudo apt-get purge " to remove config files as well [00:50] gunspoja: are you using Ubuntu? [00:50] Rafabe: no no no... you'll need to do one of two things... add ram, or download the alternate install CD. [00:51] k thanks [00:51] k [00:51] xcst: the themes for emerald can only be used with emerald of course the default compiz uses metacity themes afaik [00:51] soldats: Understood. [00:51] Rafabe: *Alternate* desktop cd, it's a checkbox at the bottom of the ubuntu download page [00:51] Rafabe: you can also look into Xubuntu [00:51] Allright, so I'll download the other version then. Thanks. [00:51] hey whats up everyone [00:51] kelsin: would you say purge is better when planning to re-install a different version of the app? [00:51] is it safe to say that If my computer has atleast 3 errors in memtest86, I have a problem with my memory ? [00:51] Rafabe: same version(gutsy 7.10) [00:51] Rafabe: you just want a different installer, you want the Alternate Install CD [00:51] gunspoja: see the menus in the upper left corner? [00:51] Rafabe: yeah it doesn't use the livecd system, just gives you the standard (just as easy) text mode installer, will install fine, then you can install whatever you want (plenty of light choices out there) [00:52] that's what I meant...the "alternative" 7.10 version [00:52] is ext3 preferable to ext2? [00:52] Zog: yes [00:52] ye [00:52] I understand what you mean [00:52] just making sure [00:52] im not sure what im looking for in dmesg. it says its attached to ttyusb0 and 1 [00:52] Zog: same internals, but uses a journal to help reliability [00:52] its just called "GSM modem" :/ [00:52] k thanks [00:52] Zog: yes [00:52] Who knows how to apply this patch: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd [00:52] erUSUL, how about the lookingglass what is that [00:52] soundray_, yeah I'm running ubuntu gutsy on the laptop, and feisty here on my desktop [00:52] the laptop is the one with the wireless adpater [00:52] gunspoja: you can do "dmesg | -i gsm" then to help filter the output to only things that have gsm (case insentive) in it [00:52] *adapter [00:53] gunspoja: good. Do you see the three menus on the left side of the top panel? [00:53] gunspoja: I did that wrong (tired) "dmesg | grep -i gsm" [00:53] yeah [00:53] okay, and i would want to mount it as root, since i'm going to keep my personal data on a seperate drive, right? [00:53] xcst: dunno sorry [00:53] REWARD: A dollar to anyone who can figure this out: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel/rev/958b39f3e8dd [00:53] Zog: the partition you mount at root is your main one with all of the system software on it [00:53] enigmata: are you going to install alsa from source? [00:53] kelsin: that's what i thought. [00:53] gunspoja: click on System, then Administration, then Network. Choose Modem connection and click Properties [00:53] thanks [00:54] noname6243: yes. try less aggressive timings in the bios. [00:54] : This is supposed to be the patch for my sound issue. [00:54] ok done [00:54] void^, what do you mean? [00:54] what am i doing with the modem properties? [00:54] enigmata: yeah but you have to install alsa from source to patch. [00:55] Know ho [00:55] *how? [00:55] gunspoja: on the Modem tab, select /dev/ttyUSB0 as the port -- case does matter [00:56] hi I have a problem with emerald working on compiz-fusion. are they compatible? [00:56] gunspoja: with the provider and account data, I can't help you. [00:56] : Yes, they work hand in han [00:56] enigmata: Im no expert so I can't walk you through it but: Download or install alsa source, apply the patch with #patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here. compile and install. [00:56] Make sure emerald is properly installed. [00:57] oh ok thanks [00:57] brb, trying that [00:57] enigmata: how should I install it properly? [00:57] Use Synaptic [00:57] void^, ?

[00:58] noname6243: eh? you were asking if a number of errors in memtest was a problem - yes it is. [00:58] is there a way to fix nautilus from crashing every few minutes?

[01:03] belorix: what do you get from 'lspci | grep -i ethernet'? [01:03] no suer elol [01:03] aBound: You should look for a blinking cursor on your terminal instead of your shell. If you use gnome-terminal use Edit->Current Profile and set "Cursor blinks" on the "General" tab. [01:03] im on windows [01:03] >< [01:04] and swap are set as logical partitions, not primary?

I am so used to this feature in MsWord and it is quite convenient to use that to enter special character that I cannot type it directly on keyboard...

For example, if I type --- then it convert to an "em" dsah for me/ [01:04] does setting up the partition for /home matter? [01:04] enigmata: ok I am in windows decoration how do I enable emerald?

[02:10] tyronepolleri, as far as I know you should be able to run at least the basic desktop effects with an intel card, mine can handle them and it's a 865, anything over that is a bit over my head, you should try asking in #compiz-fusion, I don't think you will need to install any beta of anything, but I might be wrong , they will be able to tell you [02:10] I'm running ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic with 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller, and need the patch applied to get sound on my Lenovo laptop. [02:11] how many damn floodbots do we need in here ? [02:11] enigmata: That patch doesn't come close to fitting anything before a 2.6.23 kernel. [02:11] Is there any program out there that can send an SMS message via console? So that I could use it to notify me of things, such as setting "blahblahcompilecrap && smsdoohickey" to send me a text when my computer finishes a task?

[02:12] Kalamansi, I don't think you can do that, the other pc will need to do it's own updating [02:13] Pelo: I'll look into that [02:13] Babble, try with gnomebaker [02:13] enigmata, know you dont need a patch [02:13] Pelo: you mean i will download one by one and pc by pc? [02:13] help! [02:13] Then why can't I get ANY sound? [02:14] enigmata, you need the right options passed to the module and perhaps need to compile the latest alsa-driver from the alsa site [02:14] enigmata: If your hardware really needs a kernel with that patch then you need a newer kernel or a major backport. Do you really know that you need that patch? Or are you guessing? [02:14] Kalamansi, I mean each pc will update indiviualy whenyou plug them into thenet, I don'T thnk there is a way of exporting updates from one pc to the other, there might be if you kind of created your own mirror of the updates but I think that might be a bit of work [02:14] how to get dns domain? [02:14] enigmata, I have the same chipset [02:14] i need free dns domain [02:14] Pelo, does it do .iso? [02:15] Babble, it burns images [02:15] enigmata, I upgraded the alsa-driver and edited ...

[02:18] Babble, check in /menu / system / admin / users , see if your user has parmission to write cd, and consider that the drive might be defective [02:18] reinstall always works well,just a time thing [02:18] danc3: lol [02:18] i know [02:18] Pelo: ubuntu is installed on another partition.. seperate [02:18] enigmata, type in that last line and change your model to leveno [02:19] Pelo: how to install .exe file?

[02:20] Kalamansi, .exe files are generaly for windows applications, they don't work natively on linux, consider using wine to use them [02:20] !wine | Kalamansi [02:20] Kalamansi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [02:20] Pelo, there is an option for use CD_ROM drives.. don't see anything for writing.. I'm assuming that use is read and write [02:20] enigmata, you may just want to start with the drivers and see what happens.. I forgot to bookmark the site I got the info from [02:20] god,i must not ever give advice after many pints of brown ale [02:20] How do you do all this? [02:20] quack, Irish ale?

[02:22] danc3: because I want to install neewer plugins [02:22] Can I just save your /etc/modprobe.d/alias-base as my own? [02:22] Babble, if it was a long time ago the drive might have gotten dirty on the write head [02:22] abadtooth: I don't know then... you'll probably have to compile from source [02:22] !ask | hereurbooks [02:22] hereurbooks: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:22] Babble, real the label onteh drive, burner usualy say so -rw for some [02:22] enigmata, you can try it but I doubt it'll work I have a acer laptop [02:22] enigmata, you said leveno [02:22] danc3: that sucks..

Does anyone know what I have to do to get a good rip? Or is this an .avi codec issue?

[02:23] adamonline45, dvd2avi I think will do it [02:23] enigmata,g ooogle alsa and get latest source code for the drivers [02:24] I'm tired folks, good night [02:24] Pelo: Haha, I just installed k9copy because k3b wasn't ripping 8) Maybe the third time will be a charm... [02:24] danc3: will it take under 30 minutes...? [02:24] enigmata, I'd back up the l old module and delete it first.. You'll need the kernel headers [02:24] Pelo : is there any command to type in terminal directly for wine installed? [02:24] abadtooth: to compile it? I would think so, but not certain. [02:25] abadtooth: depends on your hardware, largely. [02:25] hi [02:25] enigmata, there's a readme inside the source telling you how to compile [02:25] danc3: top end here... [02:25] enigmata, What wireless card ya have? [02:25] hi. is there a recommended backup software for small businesses ? [02:25] ah, upgrading my sources to gutsy sources and running update/upgrade/dist-upgrade seems to be the trick [02:26] dumb question perhaps, but can you download and install software while using a live cd? [02:26] benzs_s, depends [02:26] with usb stick posible benzs_s :) [02:26] benzs_s, if it is precompiled and is a binary with all the libs yeah [02:27] can you add a repo and download from it for example [02:27] apt-get [02:27] Intel mobile w/ a partially disfunctional Ubuntu driver [02:27] guys i really need some help with ubuntu i`m using a automatic DHCP and i cant seem to make ubuntu to work on this connection [02:27] enigmata, ipw2200 or something? [02:27] keb : I have simple backup [02:27] keb: there is a ton of software that can be used to backup. Alot of the best ones (imo) are command line oriented, but I would suggest checking out rdiff-backup [02:28] benzs_s: think no [02:28] anyone know how to get an Mp3 player to be recognized as a drive? [02:28] hi [02:28] Morgan555: plug it in [02:28] Morgan555: what player?

[02:29] huh, I plugged it in via the USB but itdid not moun [02:29] Morgan555: I am unfamiliar with that one but I know on my sansa it has an option to put the usb mode either into the windowsmedia player mode or the normal usb drive mode, might need to check it's options [02:29] enigmata, you might want to see if it is the latest one [02:29] Morgan555, dmesg | tail -n 50 see if it is recognized [02:29] Morgan555, find out what device it might be [02:29] is there a fix for the gutsy command line sound issue? [02:30] IndyGunFreak, it is in .tar.gz [02:30] HI, what is the Ubuntu equivalent to alt+tab to switch between programs? [02:30] RootyRootRootWoo: alt-tab [02:30] thanks mneptok [02:30] ok so a hypothetical situation: someone wants to retrieve files from their HDD, and they don't have a working OS. So they put a live CD in and find they can't access the ntfs HDD. can those files by accessed withouta dding a repo for ntfs-3g? [02:30] Morgan555, and try to mount it as root. if you can it is prolly a udev rule or hal that is stopping this [02:30] xcst: is it an icon set from GNOME or GNOME-look? [02:30] I ripped a DVD with k9copy, but it only plays sound, shows a static image, and when i try to navigate through it, it jumps back to the beginning...

You might try that. There are a lot more choices as well, obviously. Perusing synaptic might be good [02:34] how do you use cairo clock [02:35] !wm [02:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:35] xcst: read the documentation?

Ok. :) [02:57] huh: I got madwifi-tools installed [02:57] Kalamansi, yes i understand but for what purpose do you NEED photoshop for, if you want to edit raster graphics or edit or create vector graphics [02:57] I get this error when I try to test my recording under the sound settings before it freezes: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [02:57] any program [02:58] How do I restart the screen thing? My resolution is restricted to 800x600 (once again) and I don't have an option for any larger ones. [02:58] reportingsjr: ctrl + alt + backspace [02:59] reportingsjr: You may have to manually enter the resolutions in xorg [02:59] soldats: creat logo [02:59] reportingsjr, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is a way to do it in the terminal but if you do it this way you need to read the pagers carefully and use default on most things [02:59] qt-x- I am not 100% sure, but on the preferences for an IRC server you connected to (FIle preferences on Chatzilla I think), there is an option to enter a port number. I am not 100% sure because I don't have Chatzilla extensions installed. [02:59] Does anyone use adesklets ? [02:59] That did.. nothing, except log me off. [02:59] luks is cool [03:00] Anyone know what the the icon for "homefolder" and "desktop" are called? [03:00] I can hide stuff [03:00] anyhow [03:00] I can't get adesklets to work [03:00] I installed the gutsy package [03:00] and ran adesklets_installer -t and I get an error [03:00] then with -n and -r [03:00] when i restart the network settings at some point finds some DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 but at the end i get no DCHPOFFERS (No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.) [03:00] this irc client was a fast solution for now but o other computer i have access only on those ports [03:00] -t is for Tk -r for Raw terminal and -n for ncurses [03:00] !vnc [03:00] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:00] but I keep getting some python tracebacks [03:01] What's a good codec to use in k9copy for ripping a dvd? And a good bitrate? I'm a DVD noob 8) [03:01] can freenx be used to access windows apps from linux [03:01] ? [03:01] mneptok eny ideas? :| [03:01] or just the opposite? [03:02] Kalamansi, ok well when doing logos its best to do it in a format that lets you resize it to whatever size you want without pixelating the image. so for you i woudl suggest inkscape because it is a vector program specifically for logos and vectors. you may use "the GIMP" as well for logos since it is a very advanced program for photo editing and is simialr to photoshop. the only difference between GIMP and photo shop is photoshop can handle [03:02] vectors and GIMP cant. but if you use the gimp and inkscape together you should never need another photo program [03:02] I'm having trouble with gparted. It scans for devices and never stops, and then I get an error about /dev/fd0 being mounted read-only, but I don't even have a floppy. Any ideas? I just installed a new 750GB HDD and tried to do it manually but...that didn't work out like I thought it would. [03:02] hi, does anyone know hot to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? [03:02] compiz shouldn't break mplayer [03:02] nope, mplayer runs fine for me [03:03] so ther is a method that i do not know without connecting to an ssh server on this port ? [03:03] Pulshion: try removing and reinstalling it [03:03] it doesnt break it, no video, but sound works [03:03] is there anyway i can login/startup an ubuntu pc, remotely? [03:03] will it be via vnc? [03:03] when i disable the compiz then everything works fine [03:04] Hi, what is the tool used to remaster Ubuntu? [03:05] soldats : where to get inkscape? thanks [03:05] when I try /etc/init.d/networking restart I get No DHCPOFFERS received for the atheros wifi [03:05] so i cant use ubuntu on a DHCP automatic connection right? [03:05] Kalamansi, sudo apt-get install inkscape [03:05] d3MMoNuL`: yes you can [03:05] Martin___ i get the exact same thing on my cable connection [03:05] d3MMoNuL`: did you pastebin the file?

[03:06] me too === z9999_ is now known as z9999 [03:06] my modem is a Thomson TCM420 [03:07] soldats: Did I hear you say the GIMP doesn't support vectors? Wow maybe that explains the trouble I had with it, hahaha [03:07] Ok so i got the recorder to stop getting stuck... but now it doesn't record any sound... [03:07] cant understand why in windows everything works fine and when i`m on the ubuntu live cd doesnt work === David|V is now known as kraeutermann [03:08] hi, does anyone know how to make mplayer work if you have compiz running? If i switch video output to x11 it works, but on default xv it doesnt work...is x11 good or bad? [03:08] d3MMoNuL`: it sounds like you don't have the correct drivers installed for your wifi. this can be a problem with livecd versus local install. [03:08] adamonline45: If you want to do vector stuff, you should check out inkscape. GIMP is a raster based program. [03:08] adamonline45, yes it very much supports layers but as i recall it does not support vectors inkscape is a far superior program for them. i tend to use gimp in accordace with inkscape for my needs in logos and other designs [03:08] list [03:09] │Retrieving data online... │ [03:09] │!!!

[03:11] where can i find a opensuse channel? [03:11] jacob_: have you tried #suse? [03:11] soldats, whats is the difference then? [03:11] Pulshion, compiz seems to have many problems with that sort of stuff [03:12] d3MMoNuL`, stuff usually on a livecd is permanent... it is read only [03:12] d3MMoNuL`, You need to edit it on a hard drive and remaster the image.. [03:12] soldats : downloading it now.first time tho..what about alternative for dreamweavercs3? [03:12] Pulshion, for some reason i see many people having confusion with compiz for video desktop effects and audio codecs, it seems that you may need to do a thurough search for codecs for your needs [03:13] What is the proper way to setup a firewall policy to load on boot?

[03:32] meoblast, it will work.. it just takes a little tweaking [03:32] huh: so am i SOL? [03:32] TheSohnly, I may get chastized for this, but uh I go to www.gentoo.org and click on the forum link and search there [03:32] there has to be a way [03:33] tweaking? [03:33] TheSohnly, I run gentoo on another machine [03:33] ... [03:33] forget another version of linux [03:33] TheSohnly, You need to know what you can apply to ubuntu though [03:33] im having too much trouble with this one [03:33] ashfire908: im right? if i instal motherboard drives chipset drives on windows the ubuntu detect [03:33] adamonline45, i browse at least 10 to 15 different mssg boards so i am not sure as to exactly which one but ill look into that as soon as i can and ill let you know, i must assure you that it may take a few days. if your on this channel a lot then if i see you again ill let you know for sure [03:33] meoblast, didyou try that command?

[03:36] Bug here (Well possibly): Icons for Home folder and Desktop have two names which the system uses: user-desktop.png, fs-gnome-desktop.png, gnome-fs-home.png and user-home.png - this seems weird and like a mistake. The FS stuff is, as far as i recall something from older versions. this makes it hard for icons-themers... Oh well... [03:36] fabio: uh... you don't know how to access the bios setup screen?

Thanks for the pointer. === stdin_ is now known as stdin [03:39] shredder_: it's up to you where that is [03:39] Shredder: /home/music? [03:39] when someone has time, i would like help installing [03:39] Just installed Ubuntu on a Slave HD, located on the second IDE slot with the Master HD removed... Once Ubuntu is installed, it does not boot [03:39] im gonna do screen recordings now [03:39] cya [03:39] hello all [03:39] I dont know any sites to get files [03:39] as a matter of fact it says something to the tune of No OS detected [03:40] Brantis: any error messages? [03:40] Brantis, it is a slave so it weill not boot first in the sequence [03:40] no install goes smooth [03:40] evne with no other hd installed? [03:40] Brantis: grub error? [03:40] when connecting via VNC, do i expect to see exactly the same as if i'm on the remote machine? [03:40] shredder_: Well, you are supposed to pay for music files, free software doesn't come with a free music license, if that's what yu mean? [03:40] I have a hideous APT problem. It seems to be broken. Can anyone help? [03:40] Brantis, you should be able top set it to a master hdd [03:40] it just shows me a terminal window, which i accidentally closed, and now no longer appears [03:40] no [03:40] sometimes the color is toned down [03:40] otherwise, yes [03:40] dsnyders: And personally I suggest Maildir for your local mailbox format, but that's just me. There are lots of resources out there for both getmail and procmail. You should have no problem finding a tutorial sorta thing. But be sure it ask if you are. [03:41] So, It should be installed as the Master drive, and my XP drive should be set to Slave? [03:41] Brantis, if you want to boot linux first yes [03:41] Brantis: Doesn't matter, as long as GRUB is on the drive that you boot to. [03:41] * Brantis is new [03:41] I just want to be able to choose which OS i want to boot to [03:42] Live CD is not cutting it because of the lack of ram [03:42] Brantis, ahh you need to dual boot [03:42] Brantis: Your BIOS picks a harddrive's MBR to boot to. GRUB needs to be installed so the BIOS boots to it. From the sound of it, if you have no other drive in when you installed, your BIOS isn't booting to the slave. [03:42] Every time I try to use APT for anything, I get the following error message: file for package `coreutils' is missing final newline [03:42] bulmer, not nmap ? [03:42] user01 any tools that will work, i happen to like lsof === difekta is now known as broken_ladder [03:43] Brantis, try usin 7.04, it needs only 128 mb or so [03:43] i just upgraded to gutsy and some of my avi files wont play, but others play why is it like that?

Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again [03:43] onats: depends, if you use vino (that's what the builtin desktop sharing in ubuntu uses) or x11vnc you get the very same desktop. more commonly you run an independent vnc server, though - higher performance and it persists when you logout. [03:43] brantis, you might want to download the alternative image and use the text installer [03:44] user01 lsof -iTCP [03:44] ashfire908 means i load the normal settings [03:44] Flannel: I'm going to go with fetchmail, as there is a webmin module for it. I'll take the maildir format suggestion as well. [03:44] void, which installations/programs do you suggest? [03:44] fabio: and?

[03:46] xcst, are you sure you have added the medibuntu repository? [03:46] and then afterwards all the required codecs? [03:46] oowww [03:46] whats the medibuntu repo [03:46] xcst: xvid or other? [03:46] http://medibuntu.org/ [03:47] im using mplayer movie player [03:47] avi files [03:47] onats: depends on what you need - if it's for support/technical assistance, use vino. if you just need to access your desktop from the next room for a moment, use vino. if you want to run azureus in vnc, for example, it's better to use a standalone vnc server. and if you access it over the internet or any unreliable network, use ssh tunneling.

"Thank you, again!" [03:48] xcst: try installing a couple of packages (not the repos) from medibuntu and see if that does it [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] xcst: you know how to install stuff from the terminal? [03:49] yes [03:49] anyone ever hear of a "phases of the moon" app? i have gdesklets and am on my way to check there [03:49] Does anyone have a second to point me in the right direction of fixing a botched package upgrade? Network Manager refuses to completely upgrade. apt can't restart the Network Manager service, which completely hangs the system, with the reset button being the only option to make the system functional again. I can't upgrade or install anything without having to reset the pc [03:49] xcst: then you want win32codecs and libdvdcss2; the instructions are on the site how to install those packages (not the repos) via command line [03:50] I've used debian sid for years, but only dabbled lightly with ubuntu. Is ubuntu+1 considered your flavor of unstable? or it that testing? This is all for use in a non-production isolated virtual server (easy to throw away). Thanks. [03:50] xcst: you also want ubuntu-restricted-extras from ubuntu repos [03:50] apparently there are no screen recorders that record to common formats so how do you convert a .ogg video to a .avi video?

[03:50] void, i'm trying to eliminate my KVM switch here [03:51] Hey guys!! Hardware question. Have here a Asus P4C Deluxe motherboard. Aparently its working fine. It's now with a 2.0 Celeron, and a 300Wmax PSU. This setup works perfectly. Now.. if i put it with a P4 3.0, the motherboard behaves erraticaly. Some times it doesn't boot at all, some times, it boots and starts with "BIOS Checksums" problems. [03:51] Supaplex: that is the next release [03:51] Supaplex: unstable [03:51] Question is... can it be the PSU? [03:51] Aww, crap, my tooltips in GIMP are white on white... They're also that way in the compiz effects-settings menu... If they're okay in the rest of my applications, what should I look into for fixing it in these situations? [03:51] Can it be too unpowerfull? [03:51] or do i have a 3.0 defective? [03:51] killerbeesateme you could probably start ubuntu with a an option to disable networking and network manager, then purge network manager and try again? [03:51] daedric: unpowerful? [03:52] bazhang, i know :D [03:52] the word doesn't exists. [03:52] Not powerfull enough. [03:52] underpowered maybe [03:52] killerbeesateme-> you can not get to the internet? what kind of connectivity do you have? [03:52] hairulfr: i ran "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager remove" but it still hangs on doing the update [03:53] deadlock: It's offtopic for here, but: bent pins? no heat transfer gunk? [03:53] onats, english is my second languange. Some times its impossible to use a word existing in my natural language and "translating" it intop English. [03:53] bazhang, i installed libdvdcss2, w32codecs [03:53] adamonline45, sounds like you need to use the defaults for compiz and find out a good color scheme to use that works with all applications [03:53] hairulfr: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs [03:53] xcst: how about the ubuntu-restricted-extras? [03:53] !! offtopic [03:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:53] :D [03:53] GOing to another chan [03:53] brb :D [03:54] onats: on your local network you can also do neat things like xdmcp logins that require almost no extra configuration (just have to tick a checkbox on the server side) and work directly from your local login prompt (gdm) or in a nested x server (Xephyr, Xnest) [03:54] bazhang, not yet [03:54] killerbeesateme-> that only removes entries from the init.d so remove entries there [03:54] hairulf: the system will recognize keystrokes but thats it. I have to hit the reset button to get the system functioning again [03:54] bulmer: I'm actually on the system now. Everything runs fine, unless i do anything upgrade/install wise with apt, then the system hangs [03:54] xcst: that should set you up in that regard--easiest way is through synaptic--need to add more repos there [03:55] killerbeesateme-> if everything is fine, what is the issue? [03:55] killerbeesateme: try sudo apt-get remove [NetworkM] then sudo aptitude remove [NetworkM] and sudo apt-get remove --purge [Netwoek] sudo aptitude pnetwork - if you can? [03:55] bulmer: I can't install or upgrade any packages. I normally wouldn't mind, but doing a reset via the button to install packages is not the greatest way to go [03:56] flash for 64 bit yet? [03:56] natively [03:56] killerbeesateme: The horrible things at the end of each command is the package name [03:56] !flash64 | dmb062082 [03:56] dmb062082: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:57] hairulfr: I'll give it a shot. hopefully I won't have to do a reset. be back in a second if I lock up. [03:58] bazhang, whats ubuntu-restricted-extras for? === kennny is now known as wapo20cam [03:58] hairulfr: trying to remove NetworkManager, this spits out at me "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I've installed everything I can think of, but no go. (I'm on 64bit) [03:59] hey, how do you get the task manager or ubuntu equivalent to kill a process up? [03:59] do those include dvds? [03:59] hairulfr: it didn't crash, but if I run that command I'm 99% sure I'm going to hang. It's asking me to configure that package which isn't fully installed...i think at least [03:59] soldats: Kino [03:59] bazhang, do those include dvd? [03:59] soldats: it crashes my computer [03:59] Dante123, huh be more specific [04:00] killall [04:00] What is a .cdr file and how do I burn it? [04:00] xcst: that would be the libdvdcss2 you installed [04:00] soldats: after 5 minutes through the process of importing large files [04:00] ok thanks [04:00] meoblast001, pitivi video editor [04:00] meoblast001, goole it [04:00] Dante123, open a terminal and use killall [04:00] google [04:00] hairulfr: I ran into this problem a day ago on a debian box, where a config file was missing an option. I was able to fix that by adding the option, but in this case, I'm not sure what I can do [04:00] soldats: how do you cut, zoom, and add music in pitivi? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:00] is there something akin to ctrl-alt-delete that brings up some kind of task manager gui? [04:00] you can look at top if you need to know the name [04:01] meoblast001, not sure i heard it was recommended for ubuntu [04:01] hairulfr: there's a thread posted on the forum as well that details what i'm getting while running apt. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3906679#post3906679 [04:01] killerbeesateme: Hmm, well, you could try? I'm sorta at my wits end at this, the only option is might be manually removing every bit of it, but, uhm how to go about removing every bit im not sure. [04:01] hey fellas, does anyone know how to execute .jar files? [04:01] bazhang, installing the 3 lib, w32, and ubuntu restricted should almost all media would play?

I got it! :O Had to restart GIMP 8) hehheh... Now to see what breaks 'em again... [04:07] bazhang, i have finished installing but still some wont play [04:07] FlyingSquirrel32, there should be a hot key in the rhythm box config in the gui app you should remove the hotkey and use it for the totem config [04:07] huh i'll show you the error message i get... [04:07] im using mplayer, but in totem they are working [04:07] mattycoze, what ya trying to run?

[04:10] xcst: you just need to get the player that plays the majority of stuff best for you--mplayer might be for most stuff--and vlc for the rest, have to experiment there :} [04:10] huh, im using the alternate cd now for ubuntu PPC for my mac g5, and it did not change anything, the smae problem still occurs. [04:11] dang it [04:11] bazhang, in the mplayer maybe it has something to do with the preferences? [04:11] hairulfr: well here's what happened. the command that apt asked me to run went fine. so, i proceeded with your instructions to apt-get remove network-manager. it wasn't able to stop the network manager (which shouldn't be running, since i disabled it). so it failed. I was still able to run commands under my normal user, however, any sudo commands freeze [04:11] FlyingSquirrel32, when you go to keyboard shortcuts does it ask you to enter a command, if so try to enter "totem" and if that works enter the key controls you want for it [04:11] i need a screen recorder that writes to AVI... not OGG.... A..... V...... I..... [04:11] anyone know of a good java chatroom? [04:11] !screencast [04:12] Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.

Like "sudo nautilus" freezes the system? [04:12] killerbeesatem: No, that sounds very very strange [04:13] oh soory i dont usually screen cast but im almost positive if you screencast in ogg you can make it into whatever extension you want [04:13] hi all [04:13] xcst: could be but I doubt it; try vlc or totem for example [04:13] I am trying to crate a directory [04:13] I want to get a source code ,eva ,can i do like this sudo apt-get source eva??

[04:14] xcst: good news [04:14] SpeakerMania, ok cool [04:14] hairulfr: So, when i tried your instructions to remove it, it freezes on trying to stop the Network Manager. which is the same thing that happens when i upgrade the system [04:14] Hi. Is there any trick to activate the dictionary on Gutsy or it's just broken? [04:14] genii, also it is gksudo nautilus is the proper way. :) [04:14] hey can anybody help me fix my ubunto 7.10 ppc on my mac g5 [04:15] super-7alazoune: If this is not the first username that was made when ubuntu was installed make that name a user with admin/sudo rights from a username that DOES have sudo rights [04:15] can anyone help me out with wine, and where it's located? [04:15] killerbeesatem: Have you tried killing it? [04:15] <-- seeking help, problem #2... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers... Present State: after OS loaded I pressed alt+cntrl+F3 and I am at a fullscreen terminal prompt.... I am noobish, but somewhat capable (of screwing up syst [04:15] em every 3 monthes). I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... umm... help? [04:15] !wine [04:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:15] "Ubuntu for example is capable of playing OGG/Theora/Vorbis video out of the box." ..................... yeah right =D *laughs* [04:15] SpeakerMania: Yes, gksudo and not gksu [04:15] hairulfr: after failing at trying to stop the networking manager, thats when sudo becomes worthless. also networking completely dies [04:15] where is wine located on my harddrive [04:15] how so? [04:15] Totem kills when i play OGG video [04:15] from thr CLI [04:16] Hi. Is there any trick to activate the dictionary on Gutsy or it's just broken? [04:16] linuxftw, "whereis wine" in terminal [04:16] maybe [04:17] meoblast001, hmm i wish i knew more about ogg video to help you but i only use ogg audio [04:17] bazhang, how do i set totem to be the default player [04:17] hairulfr: do you know an easy command to check if the network manager service is running? [04:17] bazhang, ill use it then since its the one who works with all [04:17] i only use ogg audio [04:17] and then they through this whole ogg video at me [04:17] i like AVI [04:17] and MOV [04:17] and MPG [04:17] Flannel, you there? [04:17] ya i prefer avi [04:17] why cant they use that? [04:17] super-7alazoune: login with a name that does have sudo. Then edit file /etc/sudoers to add the name you want to have these rights. Examples can be examined by: man sudoers [04:17] hello, is the gutsy having a big upgrade now? [04:17] killerbeesatem: top then look through the list or in system - preferences - sessions [04:17] xcst: ah, not sure about that as I'm on kubuntu :} perhaps in the settings? [04:17] hairulfr: I removed it from the init, using "sudo update-rc.d NetworkManager remove" yesterday, and I've done several reboots since then [04:18] meoblast001, just download the codecs for avi mepg etc [04:18] killerbeesatem: Then you could try killing it [04:18] HMGM [04:18] bazhang, thanks [04:18] the program still wont write to AVI [04:18] hairulfr: I also don't see it running in the gnome task bar [04:18] <-- seeking help, problem #2...

[04:19] How do I set a folder to share over my network for access via Windows computer? [04:20] at startup i get init: rcS process 2030 killed by signal 11 and rc-default process 2032 killed by signal 11 anyone know how to fix this? i have searched google for hrs with no fix? is there anyway to just recopy the /etc/init.d folder or will that mess everything up? [04:20] SpeakerMania, right click and do folder share over network [04:21] hairulfr: no, this was my first stop. [04:21] soldats, can you be more specific? [04:22] killerbeesatem: I'm simply not sure what to do. [04:22] hairulfr: the thing that drives me nuts, is network manager is not running, so why would apt have a problem, or even try to stop it?? the package is in limbo, and i really wish I could make apt forget pending actions, so that I can just forget about it. I don't even use the network manager [04:22] is there a easy way to get the diffs for all the packages that can be updated? [04:23] Ashfire908: Not yet but this method of updating is in discussion/development [04:23] <-- seeking help, problem #2...

[04:23] killerbeesatem_ Yeah, that's where i get stuck too, , and "limbo" is a pretty description, I think :) [04:23] hairulfr: you don't know how to force apt to forget about packages that aren't in a fully installed state would you? [04:23] is there an xorg.conf directive that signals a monitor to be widescreen? [04:23] when booting ubuntu, I don't get the splash screen, and if I hit escape, I see the message 'usplash setting mode 1152x864 failed'. How do I fix this? [04:23] evenin' ior morning all [04:23] apt-cache policy [04:24] is there any way of changing usplash's mode? [04:24] SpeakerMania, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_share_folders_the_easy_way read through this it may help also scroll to the top and maybe there will be a more specific way. [04:24] ok here is my issue... all new windows that open ... open at about position 0, -10 so that the top bar is off the screen [04:25] soldats, thanks. :) [04:25] maxo, did you change the resolution for usplpash? [04:25] ps is this the correct channel to be in for this issue [04:25] sobbie, i had the same problem i never figured it out [04:25] Atomic_UE, no, how can I do that? [04:26] I just did an upgrade to 7.1 could that have cause the isue [04:26] killerbeesatem1: Nope, I don't, I'm sorry, but I'm actually pretty interested in what it might be, but I simply don't know enough to figure out what i "means", what happened and how to fix it. [04:26] sobbie, the only way i fixed it was to make a new user account [04:26] killerbeesatem1: You should try #linux, they might know [04:26] Go to Applications > Add/Remove Applications [04:26] soldats... THANKS!!! :) maybe I will give that a try... although that is kinda a pain [04:26] :) thanks again [04:27] hairulfr: I just tried google, and I didn't really find anything [04:27] killerbeesatem1: [04:27] maxo, go to Applications > Add/Remove Software, select All Available Applications from the drop down in the top right [04:27] sobbie, yea i know but when i upgraded it didnt do that it happened more recently also you might want to try to go to accessories > settings > window manager tweaks [04:28] maxo, search for and install startup-manager [04:28] genii: any non-easy way? [04:28] hairulfr: I FOUND IT!!! for future reference, if you go to Synaptic, go into the status page, then go to "Not Installed (residual configuration)" or something like that, then mark it for complete removal, it will actually purge the frickin thing [04:28] am I the only one who sets their panels up like the windows task bar? [04:28] How do I find out how much free space I have on / [04:28] Ashfire908: Not that I know of yet [04:28] killerbeesatem1: The Network Manager setup files? Didn't we try that?! [04:29] killerbeesatem1: Well, good for you :) [04:29] soldats: Well, I've determined that changing my KDE color scheme will let me see the tooltips. When editing my colors,though, I don't see anything relating TO to tooltips... Do you know what I'd have to change? I presume the color's tied to some other entities color... Oh, I'm in KDE, btw... [04:29] hairulfr: I couldn't purge it via apt, but synaptic did it [04:29] is there program that can be used to recover deleted stuff ? [04:29] How do I find out how much free space I have on / [04:29] Atomic_UE, ok I'll try that === Bawbatos is now known as Bawbatos_Away [04:29] thinsoldier: df -h [04:29] killerbeesatem1: Cool and strange, you installed via synaptic, and that godt stuck? [04:29] maxo, ...i should of asked, Ubuntu actually does start up fine doesn't it? [04:29] ok, now where to find that in a gui so my grandma can do it? [04:30] Atomic_UE, yes, no problem otherwise [04:30] oh wow, this channel is growing like crazy... gutsy catching on a bit more than previous releases? [04:30] does your grandma need to know how much free space she has on / [04:30] yes [04:30] silent, this channel is not as full as it was even after dapper [04:30] xcst: you can right click and choose open with, or check properties and set what it opens with--the real answers will be found at ubuntuguide or ubuntuwiki--a good place to read through to get a feeling of all the things you can do--sorry not to give a better answer [04:30] thinsoldier: make her a shortcut :P [04:30] hairulfr: I actually purged it via synaptic. its got a section for packages that are in limbo. so I just did a complete removal there. it managed to stick... [04:30] <-- still seeking help, started this morning... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers... Present State: mouse unplugged, after OS loaded I pressed alt+cntrl+F3 and I am at a fullscreen terminal prompt.... [04:30] owww [04:30] I am noobish, but somewhat capable, I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... umm... help? [04:30] adamonline45, im not too familiar with kde since ive never used it but maybe just leave the kde settings the way they are so you can see the tooltips until you are comfortable with them and then change them back, sorry its not a better answer but im not familiar with kde [04:30] bruenig, really? perhaps that's a good sign.. maybe things are 'just working' now [04:30] seriously? there's no other way to check how much free space you have? [04:31] silent, I think people are switching to pclinuxos [04:31] - install baobab [04:31] what can I use to recover accidently deleted data ? [04:31] I have to install something to see how much free space I have? wtf? [04:31] seriously? [04:31] bruenig: dont believe distrowatch [04:31] bruenig, never heard of it, I'll look into it... i started out with debian, what base is pclinuxos built on? [04:31] maxo, cool. So when the Startup-Manager app is installed, run the thing (System > Administration > Startup-Manager) and let me know when you get that far [04:31] well it might be there [04:31] soldats: Ooooh, it's workable though :) I'll ask in #kubuntu... Thanks :) [04:31] thinsoldier, "du" in a terminal [04:31] hairulfr: i found a thread for not fully installed packages, and someone recommended doing that. so, it didn't really fix it, but I didn't need the network manager anyway. I'm just glad my apt works right [04:31] thinsoldier: df -h [04:31] bazhang, I shall believe it [04:31] silent mandriva [04:31] look under acesssories [04:32] silent, pclinuxos is like ubuntu but better [04:32] soldats: where is the gui option? why can't we just right click on the drive icon in the side bar or something? [04:32] adamonline45, ok cool that seems better for that situation [04:32] thinsoldier: Sorry, that's the best I know, I'm in KDE... [04:32] thinsoldier: I use thunar file manager and it shows free space on any selected drive.. or where you lookng for cli answer [04:32] killerbeesatem1: Yeah, it's super frustrating, [04:32] thinsoldier: Nautilus is another option [04:32] thinsoldier, you should be able to try to open the system monitor [04:32] hairulfr: thanks for all your help tonight. It was driving me nuts... and now I can finish the thread someone else started with some kind of advice. [04:32] and again with the cryptic commands. Someone please tell me what the "DF" stands for? [04:32] or go to Places>My Computer [04:32] bruenig, oh well, I like the ubuntu community, and I have this gutsy install working fine now... Linux is linux imo... there will always be an infinite number of choices, I'll stay with ubuntu [04:32] it would be less alien If i understood what the letters were an abbreviation for [04:32] then right clieck on filesystem... and go to property [04:32] killerbeesatem1: But good you made it work. Yeah, no problem, didn't really do all that much, you fixed it yourself :) [04:33] silent, I am just kidding, I don't know how good pclinuxos, I imagine it is probably the same as ubuntu/fedora/opensuse which are pretty much identical [04:33] thinsoldier, "du" in terminal it stands for disk usage [04:33] df -h is a command at a xterm [04:33] thanks sobbie [04:33] ;) [04:33] thinsoldier, also du -h means human readable [04:33] bruenig: phew [04:33] thinsoldier: you can type man df [04:33] been at it for 10 minutes and didnt see that [04:33] <-- still seeking help, started this morning... OS: Ubuntu-feisty, Symptom: after loading OS, gui freezes/locks as soon as mouse/cursor is moved, Suspected Cause: last thing I did before rebooting and discovered reoccuring sympom was use "Add/Remove Applications" and added Nvidia drivers...

[04:34] thanks soldats [04:34] thinsoldier, I would guess df = disk free [04:34] bro_man, what do you need [04:34] this may sound crazy but I'd rather type "disk usage" than "du" [04:34] bruenig, doesn't fedora push the non-proprietary policy though? I think I remember it not being able to play mp3's default, only ogg...? [04:34] its more user friendly to a noob I think [04:34] silent, not true [04:34] thinsoldier, the bash shell doesnt work that way [04:34] hi all, i installed vmware workstation on my ubuntu box and when i restarted all my fancy compiz went away, i see it's not in the startup list anymore...does anyone know the command to start it? [04:34] thinsoldier, Places > Computer, right click on a thingo and it should say how much is free/used [04:34] thinsoldier: man and almost any command will bring up the manual for that command [04:35] ok uh i was using xchat, and all of a sudden, the load average for the system raiply climbs and aplay processes lock up and don't play anything and refuse to respond to signal 16 to kill. or a SIGTERM. [04:35] crshman: you have ccsm installed? [04:35] pro_man... unsintall nvideia driver... [04:35] silent, well ubuntu can't play mp3's by default, no distro can except the lindows/linspire/mepis's of the world that pay to be able to include them [04:35] thinsoldier, no, I would much rather type du, it being much easier [04:35] broman [04:35] hairulfr: hey, i would have never of thought of googling what i did without us going back and forth. [04:35] :( 1 gig free [04:35] thinsoldier, also Nautilus should say X Free Space in the status bar [04:35] this has happened before. load average is at 58.16 and rising. [04:35] soldats: I need to use my system without wiping my boot... everything is right there... [04:35] bazhang: i should, i didn't uninstall anything i think some config files just got overwritten [04:35] hi all [04:35] i'm running gutsy, so it *should* be installed already [04:35] bro_man, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:35] bro_man, sorry what do you mean by wiping the boot [04:36] maxo, how's it going? [04:36] bruenig, true enough, but I like how synaptic works though.. makes installing further software a breeze [04:36] crshman: alt-f2 compiz --replace [04:36] Ashfire908: If firefox is open with some Flash animations playing, close it [04:36] well i also needed to know the total capacity [04:36] Atomic_UE, ok, yeah I just installed startup-manager, interesting though, it reckons my resolution is set to 640x480 with 8bit at boot [04:36] thinsoldier, in your file manager it should tell you everything [04:36] it's a winduhs termm... to wipe the drive [04:36] awesome, thnx [04:36] killerbeesatem1: Cool, well, glad you got it working :) It was quite interesting, never really seen that happen, much else, but not that :P [04:37] silent, yeah they all have graphical package managers [04:37] maxo, well that answers my next question [04:37] sobbie ? [04:37] thinsoldier, du -h should tell you everything [04:37] any one know about boot network card? [04:37] lgc: What's up? [04:37] maxo, what size monitor is plugged in? [04:37] Is there an equivalent to "defrag" in linux? [04:37] bruenig, looking at the screenshots, pclinuxos looks like any other kde-based linux with some nice themes [04:37] FunnyLookinHat: ext3 doesn't need it (it does it as it goes) [04:38] maxo, 15, 17, 19, 21 inch? [04:38] FunnyLookinHat: Or rather, it keeps itself unfragmented, is a better way to put it. [04:38] silent, ubuntu looks like any other gnome based distro with an ugly brown theme [04:38] how can i force mount an ntfs drive? [04:38] genii: no this is not firefox related [04:38] heh [04:38] bro_man... thought it said you install driver... then problem happend...

[04:38] bruenig, ahaha, I never use the default theme [04:38] silent, I don't know that anyone does [04:38] Atomic_UE: it's a laptop 1024x768 lcd screen [04:39] sobbie: yes, correct. [04:39] genii: i shut it down. aplay does not respond. load is 96. [04:39] Hi [04:39] I do not know any commands but I can follow directions... [04:39] How can you make gnome show the contents of windows when they are resized? [04:39] thinsoldier, do "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal and whatever hdd you want to boot do "sudo mount -a /mount/point" [04:39] maxo, try setting the resolution to 1024x768 and turn the colour depth to 16 bit [04:39] Flannel, sweet, so if I resize the drive it'll probably preserve the data, yeah? [04:39] Atomic_UE, ok, I'll try that now. have to reboot tho. brb :-) [04:39] !xconfig | bro_man try this [04:39] bro_man try this: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [04:39] maxo, no worries :) [04:40] hi... so i just installed 7.10 a couple of days ago on a laptop with no internet connection, and i remember it saying something about updates. Since then i installed wifi-radar and internet works, and i try to use the update manager and it searches for updates but doesn't find any and says i'm up-to-date, even though i am sure i am not. am i stupid? [04:40] mmm3, you're probably up to date [04:40] how can i make and play a virtual cd rom/ [04:40] how can i make and play a virtual cd rom? [04:41] do the download iso's get updated? [04:41] xcst, mounting an iso? [04:41] xcst: you mean an iso file? [04:41] silent, yep [04:41] bazhang, yep [04:41] erm... I cant remember the filesystem name [04:41] mmm3: no, there will be updates waiting, are you sure you didn't update? [04:41] Ashfire908: No other immediate ideas come to mind [04:41] bruenig: so the exact command is " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " (without the quote marks ? [04:41] sure [04:41] xcst, I'll look it up [04:41] xcst - mount -loop something [04:42] bro_man, yes [04:42] mmm3: from the command line, sudo apt-get update [04:42] it says my drive is /dev/sda but when i try to mount that it fails [04:42] Ashfire908: top is showing aplay as most resource hog? [04:42] can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:42] mmm3: once it's updated then, sudo apt-get upgrade [04:42] bro_man yep that is it [04:42] xcst, sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop [04:42] thinsoldier, do you want it to mount everytime at boot [04:42] genii: one sec [04:42] no just this once [04:42] external drive [04:42] xcst, if you're not familiar with mount, man mount [04:42] no [04:43] owww [04:43] thinsoldier - use part command to find partition [04:43] hi, I just installed gutsy in my desktop PC, but gdm couldn't be started, I just watched xorg log, and I have 3 errors: 1:Cannot find empty range to map base to, 2:Vesa(0): Cannot read v_bios(3), 3: Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration [04:43] can anyone help me? [04:43] genii: i just tried restarting alsa. [04:43] Ashfire908: What IS top resource hog? [04:43] thinsoldier, so if you unplug it and plug it back in it doesnt auto mount [04:43] bash: part: command not found [04:43] genii: it locks up. [04:43] I have an ati radeon x700 [04:43] it wont auto mount cuz its an ntfs and the error message says windows didnt shut down properly (which is hasn't in 3 years) [04:44] lulu, try a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:44] genii: xorg compiz, gnome-system-monitor, it varies [04:44] sorry cfpart or parted [04:44] Ashfire908: I would suspect something in compiz. [04:44] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html xcst [04:45] genii: besides no sound and a load passing 165.23, nothing else says anything is wrong [04:45] silent, and which driver should I use?, this is a fresh install [04:45] thinsoldier, i auto mount an ntfs everyday i wonder why it doesnt work you could also add it to the /etc/fstab file and it will mount everytime and if you want to unmount it right click and choose unmount [04:45] vesa is good for compatibility [04:45] though you can try ati [04:45] Ashfire908: Laptop? [04:45] genii: it's at normal resources. [04:45] * thinsoldier runs off to buy a hard drive, install windows, boot, plug in external drive, shut down windows properly, restart in ubuntu, mount external drive :( see ya later, thanks [04:45] genii: no. [04:45] sudo apt get update fetches 1B in 0 sec reading package lists and then done [04:46] why doesnt totem play OGG Video? [04:46] doesn't seem to have udated anything [04:46] Ashfire908: Rules out cpu scaling making it seem like unusually high load then [04:46] genii: right now, i just want to kill aplay. [04:46] or what plugin is required to play it? [04:46] it seems that thinsoldier is impatient and it also seems he doesnt want to learn to use linux [04:46] meoblast001, you're missing codecs [04:46] hi, could anyone recommend me a package for transcoding audio, eg from mp3 to ogg? [04:46] meoblast001, just get vlc [04:46] endru cabul [04:46] genii: the issuse appear to be comming from alsa itself. [04:46] i have vlc [04:46] then use it [04:46] silent, well, I'm using vesa, I didn't modify anything :S, install app chose vesa [04:46] VLC dies too [04:46] lulu, try the reconfigure [04:46] Ashfire908: sudo kill `ps ax|grep aplay|cut -b1-6` [04:47] meoblast001, have you tried to play the video in any other OSes? [04:47] genii: the kernel modlue is in the kernel/loaded. no scaling is taking place. [04:47] Atomic_UE, no luck, says I passed an undefined video mode. I guess I'll just have to live without pretty splash screens :-( [04:47] mmm3: there won't be any lists to grab if you're up to date [04:47] meoblast001, are you sure the file is intact? [04:47] mmm3: did you upgrade too? [04:47] genii: no output. [04:47] silent: i dont know... the recommended Ubuntu ScreenCast programs made these files [04:47] maxo, an undefined video mode? that's one i ain't heard of [04:47] i really wonder if anyone has ever googled "learn linux" and actually read some web pages. it seems to me that there is a lot of information in those pages. a lot of the problem i see on this channel would be easily described and or fixed if someone were to read up on it [04:47] Ashfire908: ps ax|grep aplay [04:47] mmm3, you may have to check your sources in synaptic.. make sure you have repos enabled [04:47] genii: 202+ load. [04:48] yes i ran sudo apt-get upgrade [04:48] How can I send resize2fs a size in MB rather than sectors for a partition resize? [04:48] maxo, try a lower/other resolution [04:48] soldats, I learned by diving in... it's been a few years now [04:48] Ashfire908: Sounds like some memory leak [04:48] reading the dist wiki is another good way to learn how to work the system the way you want to [04:48] "if you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts...." [04:48] Atomic_UE, thanks for the help anyway, I'll fiddle around a bit more, and maybe who knows... [04:48] mmm3, I'm not really a big fan of upgrades [04:48] 0 upgraded 0 newly installed [04:48] maxo, ok [04:49] hello [04:49] mmm3, oh, nvm [04:49] I need some help [04:49] Atomic_UE, thanks :-) [04:49] bye [04:49] silent, yea me too its been a few years but i have also read many many pages on the stuff and have learnt a lot from that [04:49] genii: memory is normal. ram and swap [04:49] i installed from a 7.10 cd so i shouldn't need to upgrade? [04:49] maxo, no worries, cya [04:49] soldats, yep [04:49] genii: buttload of stuff. [04:49] silent:? [04:49] mmm3, upgrade is just upgrading packages [04:49] ... [04:49] Hmm [04:49] mmm3, dist-upgrade upgrades the distribution release [04:50] o right... [04:50] mmm3: did you set up a connection and upgrade during the install maybe? [04:50] mmm3, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:50] any suggestions? There must be something out there for converting audio [04:50] it's just wierd because i have a desktop with 7.10 on it since release, and have updated it successfully [04:50] Ashfire908: I'm out of immediate ideas again, and food has arrived to my door [04:50] genii: i tryed to stop alsa. it won't shut down. [04:51] sexcopter: Just a second, I'll find it for you [04:51] I wish to modprobe snd-serial-u16550 and am running into an error message 'No such device'. Can someone help? It doesn't seem to be covered at the forums or wiki. [04:51] but this recent install on the laptop hasn't 'updated' anything... === makk is now known as kam [04:51] hairulfr: thanks muchly [04:51] Wingless-Archang what kinda help? [04:51] sexcopter, audacity [04:51] meoblast001, it's unlikely that vlc is the problem.... try playing a sample ogg video [04:52] genii: i can't stop the stopping of it either [04:52] i tried ati, fglrx, and radeon drivers from repository without luck, do you recommend to use ati's website binary package?, my card is an ati radeon x700 [04:52] Ashfire908: Before I leave to eat, perhaps use the kill -9 [04:52] sexcopter: lame programs [04:52] soldats: ok, i didn't even know it existed for ubutnu, i've used it before for windows, so that's an ideal solution. thanks! [04:52] genii: doesn't respond. [04:52] Ashfire908: Is there some window open in the gui that is nonresponsive? [04:52] is there a way to tell what 'updates' are installed? [04:53] !video [04:53] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [04:53] sexcopter: What do you need to convert, btw :) I forgot the name of that oter program, but depending on what it is you need to convert [04:53] hey, I can't run "Alfred Teach Yourself Guitar" under Windows XP because Adobe bought Macromedia and now it crashes with Adobe's player. (This is an Executable, not webbased) Will crossover or WINE work? [04:53] this is for a serial MIDI interface and the only solution I found involved adding a demudi repo to the apt... didn't seem right [04:53] genii: nope. [04:53] is vlc a nice player for dvds? [04:53] mmm3, no idea, things just work on this end... have you looked in the synaptic settings for repositories? [04:53] Ashfire908: Ok. Leaving to get nourishment. I hope someone esle will assist [04:53] silent: so all the other programs involved are the problem [04:53] mmm3: you could check out the log [04:54] silent: EVERY SINGLE ONE? [04:54] hairulfr: i have some mp3s and want to convert them to ogg, i see there's a package mp32ogg, but i'm guessing it's very minimal and requires some clever knowledge i don't have! :p [04:54] anyone know how to force a process to end? [04:54] mmm3: /var/log/apt/something [04:54] I suspect there's a better way than just installing a kernel from a different distro... just to... build a serial interface module?! [04:55] sexcopter, cool [04:55] killall [04:55] sexcopter: you will loose sound quality going from mp3 to ogg, there really isn't any reason to do this [04:55] like destory the process? alsa, aplay, and alsactl do not respond to signal 15 or 6. [04:55] meoblast001, I'm not familiar with linux encoding software, but if the video doesnt play in vlc, and doesnt play in totem with the proper codecs installed, then I'm afraid you might have a corrupt file on your hands [04:55] I just tried using the devices from a QEMU/Win2k MIDI program... works :) So I know the hardware's good. and the port's working... but I need the ALSA driver to use snd_serial_u16550 I think [04:55] silent, true [04:55] Ashfire908, if it's got a GUI window you can see, Alt+F2, type/run xkill, click on the evil window [04:56] silent: how do i get those codecs... which one do i need in synaptic? [04:56] The gpsd manual is inscrutible. How do I figure out how to get it to connect to my GPS device? I'm connecting through a USB port. And how do I know once it's connected? [04:56] lazarus_lupine: nope. [04:56] try to play the file on windows or download a sample ogg video file and see if it plays [04:56] Ashfire908, pgrep kill [04:56] Atomic_UE: nope it's aplay. [04:56] Ashfire908, otherwise System > Administration > System Monitor. Find the program and END it, if END doesn't work, right-click and KILL [04:56] Help!!! Can anyone help me solve this eclipse issue, It wont run on Ubuntu Gutsy I have reinstalled it several times checked my Java version and nothing. Can someone take a look at my eclipse error log here: http://www.pastebin.org/10869 [04:56] sexcopter: http://www.perturb.org/display/entry/687/ this is on the mp32ogg, someone made a scrip so it can convert a ton of files :) you can also try audacity (sudo apt-get audacity) [04:56] Hey all, for some reason none of the settings that i change in gnome are being saved. I reboot and the resolution drops back to 800x640 [04:57] sexcopter: sudo-apt get install [04:57] lgc: There are several dictionaries with Gutsy. Which one do you refer to? [04:57] Ashfire908, "pgrep aplay" then do "kill Hi, could anyone help me with GIMP. When i set the dimensions, and press scale, nothing happened [04:57] Is there a better channel for kernel module questions? [04:57] Atomic_UE: does not respond to either. i've tried that 20 times. [04:57] for video ediing which is better and easier pls cinerella or blender? [04:57] <\`slushpuppy`\> I am doing an image scale better [04:57] <\`slushpuppy`\> I am doing an image scale btw* [04:58] \`slushpuppy`\, sometimes that happens if your not on the correct layer (if you have layers that is) [04:58] Ashfire908, ah a zombie....restart? [04:58] @asik [04:58] ernie: I am afraid, there is not. There are channels where kernel develpers communicate but they will not talk to you. [04:58] vlc includes the codecs in its install for its use... for totem you'll need.... try libtheora0 [04:59] bullgard4, :) OK. I'll just lurk for awhile... repost... lurk... that OK in here? [04:59] eyemean: Open Movie Editor: http://openmovieeditor.sourceforge.net/HomePage [04:59] there is no 'setting up' or 'updating' of any packages (other than ones i have installed) in /var/log/apt/term.log [04:59] silent, what do you think is the best player for ubuntu? just like wm player for windows [04:59] eyemean: blender is more of a 3d modeling app, what are you trying tod ? [04:59] \`slushpuppy`\, also sometimes it may scale an image but it zooms in so you may not notice a difference these are the problem i encountered with gim if those dont work im not too sure about your problem [04:59] Hi, I want to use bcp (associated with the boost libraries). But some examples from the manpage only work with --boost=/usr/include and the others don't work at all. Is anybody really using bcp? [04:59] mmm3: i'm at a loss... [04:59] ernie: I do not know the word 'lurk'. Say it in other words, please. [05:00] soothsayer, trying to edit an engagemtn video for friend [05:00] why ubuntu is so vulnerable? [05:00] xcst, windows media player is the second largest piece of crap media player ever made... the first being itunes [05:00] rmaj: its not [05:00] bullgard4, lurk means to remain silent and only read the other conversations [05:00] rmaj: vulnerable to what? [05:00] silent, i cant play my dvd cd properly in totem [05:00] silen: hahaha [05:00] xcst, rhythmbox for music, vlc for video [05:00] eyemean: if you just need to cut parts out and recompress avidemux is pretty good [05:00] how, i want to use sawfish instead of metacity. but i try "killall metacity" but it just comes back a second later.. what do I do? [05:00] silent, ok thanks [05:00] bazhang: it is [05:01] deadlock: to: memtest 2000M [05:01] rmaj: please stop [05:01] Long story short, can I have an ati card *and* nvidia on feisty? [05:01] wat if i want to make snazzy transitions from scene to scene stuff like that, add tetxt etc [05:01] rabiddachshund, that's worse than dividing by zero [05:01] do you recommend using ati's website binary to install ati radeon x700 video card?, I just tried ati, radeon, and fglrx driver without luck, they tell me they can't find any screen [05:01] soldats: i've given it signal 6, or SIGABRT a core dump signal. using "kill" alone did what i expected. nothing. [05:01] soothsayer [05:01] i wish i could remember the message i got during install about updates or something...some file in /etc [05:01] hahaha [05:01] crap. [05:01] matthew_, sudo /etc/init.d/metacity stop [05:01] rabiddachshund, it's probably possible [05:02] rabiddachshund, ive heard of it being done befor. [05:02] ernie: My advise would be post your module question here. If nobody answers re-post your question after a quarter of an hour and do this again and again until some new aspect of the matter arises. [05:02] I guess I'll just remove one. [05:02] deadlock: did it worked for you? [05:02] rabiddachshund, good choice [05:02] Which is supported better, ati x600 or walmart nvidia? [05:02] soldats: command not found [05:02] matthew_: sawfish should have a replace command as well, "sawfish --replace" maybe? THen save you're session after. Maybe also you can "killall metacity && sawfish" [05:02] Ashfire908, "pgrep aplay" then do "sudo kill -s 9 " [05:02] Ashfire908, ok well what i meant was pgrep the app name and it will show the process id and then do another command like "kill process id [05:02] rabiddachshund, always nvidia, but if the ati is more powerful, try it first [05:02] nvidia [05:02] bullgard4, :) right, then. thank you [05:02] Atomic: not a zombie. "uninturtible. i've gotten this error before. last time i ended holding the power button after like pressing it a bunch of times and the system failing to shutdown. [05:02] kthanks [05:02] kelsin: sawfish --replace doesn't work. [05:02] No bcp user around? Too bad. *sigh* [05:03] bazhang: install program memtest and run memtest 3000M to prove me wrong. save all open documents first, since ubuntu will crash (well, freez) [05:03] matthew_, if you run system monitor does it show up if it does then try to end it [05:03] kelsin: neither does the other suggestion === phoenix999 is now known as _phoenix_ [05:03] matthew_: you can also go into the session manager and tell metacity not to restart as well, then kill it, then start sawfish [05:03] rmaj, who run's memtest within linux? [05:03] matthew_, if that doesnt work then you will need it to not run on startup [05:03] soldats: kills it, but it comes back a second later [05:03] *scratches chin* [05:03] atomic: nope. [05:03] silent: guys that write this utlility; or use any program that needs lots of memory [05:04] matthew_, do what kelsin suiggested [05:04] Ashfire908, evil process indeed :S [05:04] rmaj, memtest86, test all your memory, not just that which isn't occupied by operating programs [05:04] silent, i run memtest86 [05:04] only when i need it [05:04] hwo can you make gdesklets work on startup? [05:04] silent: sigh, the goal is that user space application can easy crash system [05:05] soldats, kelsin: that seems to have worked, thanks. [05:05] soothsayer, wat if i want to make snazzy transitions from scene to scene stuff like that, add tetxt etc [05:05] xcst, i believe there is a config file for it im not sure [05:05] ahha looks like stuff was commented out in /etc/apt/sources.list by the installer [05:05] rmaj, it's easy to create programs that will crash a system. Fortunately, that's the opposite of the goal! [05:05] rmaj: you have a support question? [05:06] silent: the goal is to have system that can't be crashed [05:06] rmaj, not possible [05:06] rmaj, any system can be crashed [05:06] rmaj: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:06] silent, soldats: right. crash freebsd [05:06] rmaj: do like OLPC and devise a system where every app is virtualized [05:06] bazhang: how to make my ubuntu not vulnerable to this [05:06] rmaj: def not crash proof, but closer [05:06] eyemean: i've never done anything like that in linux, try cinelerra maybe, but i think it only takes dv input [05:07] rmaj, I could very easily crash bsd, but I'd have to use a hardware hack... I call it the power button [05:07] flash is all screwed up in 64 bit 7.10 [05:07] kelsin: fork bomb are really lame attack to which ubuntu should be resistant... its also quite easy to fix [05:07] I know that when I delete something on an NTFS Drive it goes to .trashes on the root of that drive. Now, how do I ACTUALLY delete the file from inside of .trashes? [05:07] silent: and can user space application crash entire system? [05:08] ok who was helping me when my nick was ashfire908? [05:08] soothsayer, ok thanx [05:08] rmaj, from your trolling in #linux you clearly know that this is something inherent in linux perhaps, and not just Ubuntu... so why bother us about it? [05:08] rmaj, run this in a terminal on any *nix based system ":(){ :|: };:" it will certainly crash it [05:08] hi all [05:08] what does the 64 bit flash package actually do, cause I thought there still wasn't an adobe 64 bit release? [05:08] is anyone know the download manager for linux which can stop the PC after complete the download [05:08] thinsoldier, the file managers normally have a 'delete dont trash' shortcut some how. or just find the .trash* dir and delete it (dont move it to the trash) :) [05:08] thinsoldier, Shift+Delete on .Trash [05:08] kill_u_: stop the pc? [05:08] i turned on show hidden but still dont see a .trashes [05:08] if i go into windows i can see it [05:09] yes [05:09] kill_u_: "wget file && sudo reboot" as long as you can sudo the reboot without a password [05:09] astro76: bug is in kernel, but some distros fix it a bit by default.. apparently not ubuntu; and yes, poiting out any problem in god blessed linux is basicly trolling [05:09] kelsin, is that the GNU version maybe? [05:09] Ashfire_Server, I don't know about helping, but trying to seems more accurate :P [05:09] Anyone have a waffles.fm invite? if so plz PM me. :) [05:09] kill_u_: no idea what that means :} [05:09] soldats: orly> [05:09] sudo want pass [05:09] if i sleep at 5 o'clock which will give the pass [05:09] atomic_ue: i sent aplay evey core dump signal. then compiz showed pidgin locked up [05:09] soldats: it doesnt crash my other box [05:09] ignore this text [05:09] rmaj, I'm sure if you went to the top programmers in the world, hackers, malware writers, I'm sure they'd bring bsd to it's knees by running an application. Nothing is invincible. [05:09] rmaj, no this is a help based channel you shouldnt come here telling people about how it sucks or there is a lot of bugs in it [05:09] !bugs | rmaj [05:09] rmaj: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/ - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots [05:10] rmaj, is it *nix based running BASH [05:10] ernie: flashplugin-nonfree is available on 64bit in gutsy, which confused me, I guess I should just look at the package [05:10] Ashfire_Server, do you know what spawnd the aplay command? [05:10] rmaj; pay canonical for support and they'll listen to you complain [05:10] rmaj, regardless, this isn't the place for bsd talk, if you would like to make ubuntu resistant to fork bombs, do it up [05:10] hey how can I unarchive a rar file? [05:10] rmaj: please stop [05:10] bazhang: this means that sudo will want password [05:10] silent: some bsd's are. there are probably high prices, but it can't be broken. common it's not windows, be optimistic [05:10] Ashfire_Server, and perhaps why aplay is still waiting? I'm assuming for some device [05:10] shaan, apt-get unrar or similar [05:10] !rar | shaan [05:10] shaan: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [05:10] thanks [05:10] Atomic_UE: i did a gui shutdown. nothing happened. i did ctrl-alt-backspace. xorg reset, the system tryied to shutdown, but failed at stopping a alsa and i held the power button down. [05:11] rmaj, OSX isn't windows either, but I've seen it crash [05:11] and it's a bsd derivative [05:11] soldats: yes, my box is immune to forkbomb. your can be to with ulimit (well its harder with it) [05:11] please keep on topic [05:11] Atomic_UE: xchat spanwed it. [05:11] kill_u_: not sure what you are trying to do [05:11] is there a linux IM client that can accept files across msn messenger? [05:11] thinsoldier, try amsn [05:11] amsn [05:11] thinsoldier, pidgin [05:11] thinsoldier: pidgin [05:11] soldats: my question was, is there some clever way to prevent this bug in ubuntu [05:11] thinsoldier: pidgin works for me [05:12] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. [05:12] rmaj, what bug exactly [05:12] !ot | rmaj [05:12] rmaj: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:12] kill_u_: you could always allow your user to shutdown the system via sudo without password, so that you can script it [05:12] hi, i just installed amd catalyst 7.11, configured xorg.conf for composite, and compiz won't work. [05:12] soldats: running program that uses lots of memory freezes the system [05:12] I try to download file and after that i just want to stop the machine [05:12] kill_u_: wget ..... && shutdown -h now [05:12] kill_u_: as root probably [05:13] this not work [05:13] Ashfire_Server, kill xchat? but i assume that's already been tried seeing as you've done the ctrl+alt+backspace [05:13] rmaj, if a program uses lots or memory it is due to the developer who designed it not the OS [05:13] i'm trying to install some brother printer drivers... tried installing, didn't work, so i wanted to remove it and try again, but now i can't get it to remove. [05:13] kill_u_, you could always 'suid' the shutdown or halt command. then any user could use them to shut down. :) (not a good idea for security howevber) === Bawbatos_Away is now known as Babatos [05:13] as root the file will be changed and cannot be read from users [05:13] rmaj, if its a problem try using a defferent program [05:13] squarebracket: Try making it work without driver first, just tell CUPS to find it, [05:13] kill_u_: then do what I said and make it so you can sudo shutdown without a password [05:14] I am not able to downlaod sources using svn co [05:14] nevermind, compiz.real works *sorta* [05:14] rom11: what error ar eyou getting? [05:14] soldats: you actually belive this nonsense you are saying? ok, IE6 is as safe as firefox, if crash installs a virus via IE, its the site fault, not the application nor sytem... jesus [05:14] it is asking for the password [05:15] hairulfr: didn't work... i installed it via localhost:631 or whatever, went with whatever driver it thought i should use, and the print test page didn't work.... [05:15] speaking of, how stable is Ubuntu's version of ffox3 ? [05:15] rom11: what sources are you talking about? [05:15] but I can go through the webbwowser [05:15] rmaj: this is a support channel [05:15] then it do now ask for password [05:15] what's the command for switching workspaces? [05:15] Ashfire_Server, the only thing i can suggest for your problem is the Reset button [05:16] Ashfire_Server, other than that i'm out of ideas [05:16] Atomic_UE: already did. [05:16] Atomic_UE: had to hold it down. [05:16] I am doing practice on embedded systems, so I am downloading from opwnwrt siye [05:16] site [05:16] hello [05:16] hi AprilHare [05:16] !info webkitgtk [05:16] Package webkitgtk does not exist in gutsy [05:16] Ashfire_Server, That sounds like power button [05:16] ramon, your talking about a virus not mem usage [05:17] Atomic_UE: yes, [05:17] *. [05:17] Ashfire_Server, but still anything that just resets the computer to start it up again is all i can think of [05:17] rmaj, firefox has never crashed for in ubuntu [05:17] Ashfire_Server, It happens everytime you run xchat? [05:17] hi kelsin [05:17] step 1) hold power button for 4 seconds... step 2) ???? ... step 3) Profit [05:17] i installed a third party application under ubuntu. it does not particularly know anything specific about ubuntu (it installs itself with a shell script) and the only way to run it is via shell script. is there any way to add it to the applications menu, or as a shortcut on the desktop? [05:17] how to resent my ubuntu box? [05:18] rmaj: reset? [05:18] yes [05:18] rmaj: hahah. Make it do naughty things! [05:18] default kernel dont include sysrq [05:18] rmaj: what is the issue? [05:18] system -> quit [05:18] rmaj: yes it does. [05:18] silent: mouse cursor do not work [05:18] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml: "In orded to try µswsusp you must run a recent -mm kernel or mainline 2.6.17-rc1." What is an '-mm kernel'? [05:18] i'm also getting a "package corrupted or improper permissions" dialog from gdebi when trying to use the .deb package that worked before.

[05:18] rmaj, ctrl+alt+f1 [05:19] sudo shutdown -r now [05:19] what was sequence for sync, unmount, reboot? and what was for free memory [05:19] silent: switch to VT doesnt work [05:19] bazhang: mathematica [05:19] svn co is not working for me [05:19] silent: caps lock doesnt work, mouse cursor move once per 3 minutes [05:19] it is asking for the password [05:19] rom11: whats teh problem? well give the password [05:19] AprilHare: just a moment--checking [05:19] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. [05:19] AprilHare: right click on the ubuntu icon, edit menu [05:19] but there is no password [05:19] rmaj, what are you doing to your box that it can't respond? [05:19] Naisenu: try various players; vlc mplayer kaffeine [05:19] bullgard4: -mm kernel is a development where new features are often tested before being imported into the main kernel tree [05:20] I can browse the files using browser without any pasword [05:20] rom11: You'll have to take that up with the place you are getting the svn from, theres nothing we can do about it [05:20] rom11: svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/kamikaze_7.09 [05:20] silent: well I run memtest to test memory, I should be arrested [05:20] rom11: I just ran that and was able to download, don't know what version you're trying but it's not asking me for a password [05:20] soothsayer: Ah! Thank you for explaining. [05:20] rom11: that command was found on this page: https://dev.openwrt.org/ [05:20] whats sysrq to kill memory? [05:20] rmaj, tried ctrl+alt+backspace? [05:20] Hello all. How does one instantly and automatically arrange icons on the desktop? Thank you for any help. [05:21] silent: nothig; with caps lock not working Im not too optimistic [05:21] how do I kill a process if sudo kill is not working? [05:21] CaptainMorgan: kill -9 it ass [05:21] CaptainMorgan: you can try "sudo kill -9 " [05:21] rmaj, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds [05:21] silent: and corrut fs? [05:21] *corrupt [05:21] why would it corrupt the fs? are you writing massive amounts of data? [05:22] I think my aMSN skin should replace the current default Ubuntu one. [05:22] soothsayer: Do you know where the letters 'mm' stem from? (So that I can better remember them.) [05:22] yay many thanks [05:22] thanks rmaj kelsin [05:22] AprilHare: you want to run it from the run command, or add a gui menu item? [05:22] silent: brillian kernel is using hard drive all the time last 20 minues, I think it tries to swap out the kernel code for swapping or somthing equally stupid [05:22] !language | rmaj [05:22] rmaj: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:22] CaptainMorgan: -9 is the kill signal, not the ask the proces to stop politely signal :) [05:22] hi kelsin [05:22] rmaj, that's just swap, kill it [05:22] bazhang: i just added a gui menu item [05:22] it i sasking me for password [05:23] AprilHare: good news [05:23] is it really need to Sudo [05:23] anyone know a iso buner for ubuntu ? [05:23] OH JESUS CRIST [05:23] rom11: then you need to write the openwrt people, cause it really has nothing to do with ubuntu if you're running the right command and getting a password. It has to do with their svn server [05:23] linuxftw, it's built in, right click the iso [05:23] it took just 20 minutes to react to my alt+ctrl+del! yee heew [05:23] ooh! kk :) yhnx silent [05:23] linuxftw: xacetone iso [05:23] linuxftw: right click burner [05:23] howcome you are able to dwonload [05:23] rom11: no you don't need to sudo, why are you running sudo, install the code in your home directory and use the commands listed right on dev.openwrt.org [05:23] rmaj: don't use the Lords name in vain. wait until you really stuff things up [05:24] :D [05:24] bullgard4: wikipedia says it was originally used to test memory management code [05:24] haha [05:24] your lord, not mine [05:24] Is there a working repository for Cinelerra on Gutsy? [05:24] soothsayer: You are really helpful. Thank you very much. [05:24] silent: what gave you that impression? [05:24] rmaj: I suspect its a hardware issue [05:24] HI ppl [05:24] hi QuickRider [05:24] AprilHare, silent: lets drop it please [05:25] bazhang: no, just kernel sucks [05:25] rmaj: PLEASE WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE! [05:25] jrib, true enough, not even worth debating [05:25] kam: oh damn, I said sucks [05:25] oh shit I said damn! [05:25] rmaj: AND ASS [05:25] uhoh [05:25] Atomic_UE: sometimes. there seems to be no pattern [05:25] you said ass! [05:25] OH NO [05:25] stop... [05:25] *I* said ass! [05:25] uh oh [05:25] hai.. [05:25] hai... [05:25] ok, I'm running a live disk since my laptop hard drive blew out, is there a way to boot the desktop live disk to a shell only so I can save memory and load mu internet connection sharing? I run out of memory whenever X runs cause it doesn't have enough to download dnsmasq and ipmasq into ram [05:25] jrib: ok ok no need to be grave serious? [05:26] hi.. [05:26] now ubuntu lunched 150 KSnapshot applications for me, I am so happy [05:26] hi danker [05:26] technically and ass is just a donkey [05:26] rmaj, kam: you need to keep the channel family-friendly and, most importantly, on-topic [05:26] an* [05:26] RabidWeezle, ya could download the packages to a usb/thumb drive.. I guess. never tried to tweak the live cd that much. [05:26] 155, and counting... how to FORCE the shutdown _now_, using mouse only, in kde? [05:26] Danker- ASL [05:26] or is there a way to have it mount a flash drive and use it for downloads? [05:27] hi... [05:27] hello danker [05:27] RabidWeezle, when it downloads them they go to /var/cache/apt (i think) ya could move them from there to a USB drive [05:27] did you get the message "the certificate hostname does not match" [05:27] RabidWeezle: you could do as Dr_willis suggests pendrivelinux dot com has much more on that front [05:27] rom11: no [05:27] Dr_willis: is there a file I can edit to change where they are downloaded to? [05:27] RabidWeezle, if you really wanted to go hard-core ya could also put a swap file/partition on a usb drive. [05:27] rmaj, power button, 4 seconds [05:27] Dr_willis, thats what I'd do [05:27] does it require any ssl package to be installed [05:28] RabidWeezle, no idea on there. download them. copy them over.. then ya can isntall with sudo dpkg -i whever.deb [05:28] k, it was hard enough to download ubuntu live disk on a psp at the hotspot lol [05:28] rmaj: a click of the power button should shut it down. ctrl-alt-backspace restarts xorg [05:28] ok [05:28] The Ubuntu live cd - is a bit lacking in ways compared to other live cd's out there. [05:28] I can probly download the packages using my psp [05:28] Ashfire_Server: I had to sysrq-b it [05:28] Dr_willis, I dont even download the live cd anymore... alternate ftw [05:28] * RabidWeezle gets his psp [05:28] rom11: don't know, if it did then I must have it, seriously goto your home dir and type "mkdir src; cd src" then run the checkout command on dev.openwrt.org and you should be fine [05:28] for a low end system DSL, or PUPPY Linux - are darn nice live cd's [05:29] rmaj: that button actually does something? [05:29] Ashfire_Server: I hit combination... one rebooted [05:29] silent: same here :) [05:29] Dr_willis, they are meant to be live distros, ubuntu works best on a hard drive [05:29] Dr_willis do they do laptops well? [05:29] What is the advantage of the alernate? [05:29] and corrupted my FS \o/ hurray for ubuntu, almost secure system... [05:29] and dsl uses 2.2 or 2.4 kernel with fluxbox and a few tiny apps [05:29] Hello guys. I am on my wife's laptop currently, which I put ubuntu 7.04 on quite a few months ago. Yesterday however, I decided to open adept package manage and do a distribution upgrade. It got to the point where it was installing packages, then asked to remove some so I chose okay, at which point it crashed. It is usable, but I don't really know what happened or how to continue the process.. I haven't experienced bugs, but I [05:29] don't think this is a complete upgrade since it stopped about halfway through. What can I do? I tried updating packages and stuff, but there was nothing to, and it won't let me finish dist upgrade because it says I am on 7.10 now [05:29] its not even a fair comparison of performance [05:29] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:30] Sulo_: have you tried sudo apt-get upgrade? [05:30] outside of the package manager? [05:30] is there a way to initialize a command from a console and not have the console wait for it to finish? [05:30] presumably latest releases are unstable [05:30] Sulo_Seppa: everything running okay? [05:30] I've had synaptic shit the bed on me a few times [05:30] squarebracket: add a & at the end [05:30] there's gotta be a way to boot straight to console though on the live cd though right? [05:30] ohmy [05:30] Sulo_Seppa, you may want to try an upgrade -fix [05:30] sweet, thanks [05:30] err fix missing, something like that [05:30] RabidWeezle, they work good on the laptops ive tried them on [05:30] looking for an alternative to google deskbar search [05:31] anyone know of one [05:31] cool [05:31] ice9_, www.google.com works pretty well [05:31] ice9_: tracker? [05:31] no for index searching on your system [05:31] internal searching [05:32] ice9_: tracker and beagle seem to be the popular ones [05:32] k thx [05:32] * genii slips in and sips a coffee [05:32] ok guys, I'm gonna fork bomb my laptop [05:32] silent: you mean apt-get upgrade -fix? [05:32] brb, maybe [05:32] fix-missing I think [05:32] Ashfire908: Get anywhere with that aplay/alsa issue? [05:32] google it [05:33] bazhang: well, it runs okay, but I don't know if it is complete or not [05:33] I think the ubuntu live would be better if it had a stripped down version aswell, like no firefox, pidgeon, that stuff, just lynx basic X with a xterm option [05:33] it will usually tell you if you need a fix-missing [05:33] silent: try real os like freebsd, or some hardened linux, for such stuff [05:33] silent, :(){ :|: };: [05:33] i know [05:33] got it on the clipboard right now [05:33] hahahaha [05:33] rom11: I wish we have a live cd that had options like that (or full blown desktop) and then a separate isntall cd that had graphical install (not full live cd), text install and cli on one cd [05:33] it starts with a sad face [05:33] rom11: wrong name that was meant for RabidWeezle [05:34] sad face of kernel doom [05:34] rmaj, i'm feeling adventurous [05:34] here we go LEEEEEROOOY JENKINSSSS [05:34] Sulo_Seppa: if it works and there are no fix missing warnings in the terminal then it may be alright--have you tried to install other stuff as a test? [05:34] for sure, I think debian has had such live cd's [05:34] silent, lol [05:34] * rmaj <--- silent had quit (my lame kernel can't protect self from too many threads at once) [05:34] syntax error [05:34] lame [05:34] silent: ulimits protects agains it I think right? [05:34] probly the best live cd though is the one you make yourself lol [05:35] RabidWeezle: kanotix thorhammer [05:35] rmaj, yea usualy but i think you have to set that yourself [05:35] soldats: yes, this is waht sucks [05:35] what? [05:35] lol [05:35] k its going i think [05:35] this is what people should change, when bazhang comes in with boring "its a support channel -> thinking prohibited here" [05:35] I wish this laptop could boot off a thumb drive though [05:36] what's a good, easy to set up FTP server? [05:36] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:36] RabidWeezle: hmm it can't boot from usb? [05:36] rmaj: you blaming me for the guidelines? they were here long before I arrived [05:36] older laptop... 1ghz. dell c610 [05:36] silent, :(){ :|:& };: [05:36] * rmaj throws godwin style reference @ bazhang [05:36] silent, i typoed [05:36] cellofellow, vsftpd [05:37] bazhang: yes I can install other stuff.. but I think I am missing some stuff that is on 7.10.. maybe I am just paranoid. [05:37] Kr0ntab: ok, thanks. [05:37] np [05:37] Sulo_Seppa: naything you really need seem to be missing? [05:37] I am running the command 'ffmpeg -i file.flv music.mp3' to rip the audio form flash movies. When the audio come sout though it sounds crappy compared the movie. How can I define the bitrate I want to audio at? [05:37] hay can someone help me install bluez-libs? [05:37] how do you execute a java (.jar) file? [05:37] silent, did you do it! [05:38] SudoKing: java -jar file.jar [05:38] bazhang: I am not too sure.. I think there is supposed to be some proprietary driver tool in 7.10 right? I don't use ubuntu on my computer, so I am not too sure [05:38] thanks [05:38] wish they made a bios update for this, but the funny part is if they did, I'd have to find some way to make a bootable dos cdrom [05:38] SudoKing, you need java support as well i believe [05:38] Sulo_Seppa: you want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, as well as two packages from medibuntu.org--will help out if you need [05:38] SpeakerMania: -ab [05:39] is there some software to replace activesync for linux? something to sync a pocket pc phone edition to my ubuntu gutsy desktop [05:39] does anyone know if you can transfer from a linux box onto an r4 chip? [05:39] uh, I got the error: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from pircbot.jar [05:40] rich1: what is an r4 chip? [05:40] soothsayer, so ffmpeg -i -ab 224 movie.flv audio.mp3 woudl that work? [05:40] soldats, what java files for support? [05:40] SpeakerMania: yep [05:40] SudoKing: then the pircbot.jar file doesn't define a Main class to run, you probably need to somehow run the bot like "java -cp pircbot.jar SomeClass" but I have no idea what that someClass should be [05:40] bazhang: it's a storage device for the nintendo ds. [05:40] soothsayer, thanks [05:41] * rmaj lols @ silent crashed computer [05:41] arooni, multisync and synce [05:41] that was fun [05:41] silent: reseted X ? [05:41] rich1: you wnat to boot ubuntu on your dreamsphere? [05:41] silent, did it work [05:41] power button, 4 seconds [05:42] silent: you lie [05:42] hi [05:42] arooni, one how-to that might help. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/pocket-pc-syncing-with-evolution-in-ubuntu.html [05:42] silent: you booted up back in few seconds? [05:42] how do you truely kill X on a livecd? [05:42] shit locked up... did my message go through? [05:42] soothsayer, when I run the command with -ab 224 it says the input file is corrput; without it is goes fine [05:42] hey hey [05:42] "oh my god its raping my computer!" [05:42] I want to test Evolution with GMail, but I can't figure out how to map Trash Spam, Drafts, etc. to [Gmail]/Trash... [05:42] bad language.. [05:42] silent: no [05:42] Hey [05:42] hmm [05:42] * Ashfire_Server gives rmaj a system with a run-away alsa and 15 non-responding aplay processes. [05:43] hay can someone help me install bluez-libs? [05:43] yea my cpu fan kept speeding up... massive swap writes [05:43] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ [05:43] RabidWeezle, ctrl+alt+backspace or got o terminal and type exit [05:43] SpookyET, I don't believe you can [05:43] power button, 4 seconds [05:43] bazhang: no. the chip/card comes with software to transfer files from a computer to the chip/card. like the software that comes with a digital camera. [05:43] at least the trash... [05:43] Ashfire_Server: advanced kernel limiting of resources would fix it [05:43] my laptop is fairly speedy so restarting wasnt very time consuming [05:43] Okay update, i have totem, ffplayer, and vlc ... none of them give sound on the 3gp file i'm trying to play === chris__ is now known as MirrorImage [05:43] bazhang: Thanks. So just add the medibuntu to my repositories and then find the packages for my hardware? [05:43] ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X, exit will logout of a terminal [05:43] SpookyET, Thunderbird of course you can... works very well [05:43] bazhang: i'm wondering if that software will work with linux/ubuntu. [05:43] ctrl+alt+backspace/f1 didnt work [05:43] sorry i should explain the http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ was my output for make && make install commands of that installation [05:44] Kr0ntab: I know. But thunderbird is so alien on gnome. Tracker does not index it... [05:44] SilenceGold, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [05:44] RabidWeezle, hmm then im not sure about live cd sorry [05:44] I want to free up what little ram I have lol [05:44] oops [05:44] silent, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [05:44] Sulo_Seppa: if you want to add all the repos you can, generally I just add dvd support and codec support--howtos on the site medibuntu.org [05:44] you know I tried that and it restarted lol [05:44] Kr0ntab, entire system was locked up, fork bombed myself [05:44] I am not kidding Kr0ntab lol [05:44] rich1: will check, just a moment [05:44] no access to a terminal [05:44] my music stopped playing [05:44] RabidWeezle, well for me i usually only use cli when i boot and i use terminal apps for everything like finch for aim irssi for irc and w3m or links2 for www [05:45] how do you use cli on a live cd? [05:45] SpeakerMania: try like this ffmpeg -ab 224 -imovie.flv audio.mp3 [05:45] I'm ussing irssi/lynx, but X won't die lol [05:45] whoops ffmpeg -ab 224 -i movie.flv audio.mp3 [05:45] RabidWeezle, see that i dont know how to do, i thought it gave you an option when it booted [05:46] wonder if the server cd is a live disk? [05:46] RabidWeezle, does ctrl+alt+del do it [05:46] Can someone help me install bluez-libs on Ubuntu 7.10 - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47316/ was my output for make && make install commands of that installation [05:46] soldats: I selected the "auto configure" option in xserver-xorg for my video card, Nvidia geforce 4 MX 4000, and it is asking me what my video cards bus identifier is... it says PCI:1:0:0_______ there is a blinking cursor after the last zero... is this a pre-inserted answer or am I to insert data there? [05:46] leave it bro_man [05:46] just press enter [05:46] rich1: can't find anything--you might check ubuntuforums gaming section for more :} [05:46] Is freedb dead? [05:46] mattycoze: does sudo aptitude install libbluetooth-dev not work for you? [05:47] soothsayer, it comes out as 48 second slong wiht no audio [05:47] bazhang: ok. thanks for the help. [05:47] or tab->enter if it has it's box there [05:47] bro_man, usually leaving it blank will default it but if you go into your bios on boot you should be able to find out the path [05:47] kelsin i haven't tried it... i'll have a check - i might have already installed it, what is that anyway? [05:47] "incorrect format for the bus identifier" [05:47] mattycoze: bluez libs [05:47] Hi. Trying to play a 3gp file from a friend. I added the mediubuntu gusty repository to SPM and installed ffplay. Also have the w32codecs installed. I get video but no audio. Update is that i installed vlc, totem, and still no go. [05:48] mattycoze: well the development libraries for them, you need libbluetooth2 for the actuall library [05:48] bro_man: you running like dual video cards or something (just wonderin) [05:48] soldats: where would it be in the bios ? [05:48] random third party codecs? must be porn [05:48] or do you have your onboard enabled? [05:48] or is 3gp some video phone format? [05:48] bro_man, pci devices list [05:48] i think [05:48] kelsin i've already installed libbluetooth-dev [05:49] abcde stopped working. so I ran it with "-V" switch and it gets stuck when checking for freedb status... anyone knows if freedb is dead? [05:49] mattycoze: (At least according to the description in synaptic, might be different then what you need, don't know) [05:49] silent/soldat: phone video and not porn [05:49] pr0n? [05:49] the audio is ARM according to the properties [05:49] soldats: no, just the one... the video port5 that came on the mobo is dead or crap... I dont remember... [05:49] Naisenu: you have to convert them to mpeg [05:49] Naisenu, I'm not sure I believe you [05:49] serious o4o :{ [05:49] post video for proof plox [05:49] hmm - well i'm just trying to get my bluetooth card to work with my phone the k610i [05:49] Naisenu, huh [05:50] brb [05:50] bro_man, hmm im not too sure im sure someone is more experienced than i on that subject [05:50] http://suspend.sourceforge.net/download.shtml differentiates between 'Official releases' and 'Latest release' of µswsusp. (I need s2ram.) What is the difference? [05:50] sorry [05:50] soldats: but I disabled the mobo video in the bios... [05:50] kelsin, i know it works, i can establish some sort of a connection, but i haven't got any apps to work with it yet [05:50] ... so i'm just really experimenting i guess [05:50] * RabidWeezle gets an idea [05:51] bazhang: I have not converted to MPEG. I am not certain if you were suggesting this or asking if I had done it. [05:51] Naisenu, make theora, not proprietary [05:51] kelsin, i was reading this http://pratyeka.org/rfcomm/ [05:51] mattycoze: well if you must install from source the error you're getting is that 99% of the time make install will fully install files on your system so you need to be root, so commonly you run configure and make as normal user, then run sudo make install [05:51] silent: And this would be done how? [05:51] hi bullgard4. Offical releases mean just that, the official releases. In this case the 'latest' is the latest official release [05:51] bro_man, RabidWeezle idea??? dont you mean a headache with pictures [05:52] oops [05:52] Naisenu, why in Windows of course, where the majority of third-party codecs exist [05:52] for future reference, what signal do i use in place of the gnome terminal's kill process? [05:52] okay well i'll have another try kelsin brb [05:52] soldats: no worries, man... thats more help than I have had in awhile... and you keep pointing me in the right direction... [05:52] silent: I really dislike Windows. There is no way to do this in Ubuntu? [05:52] nickrud: Thank you very much for explaining and your interpretation. I appreciate that. [05:52] same thing [05:52] SpeakerMania: mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile audiofile i.flv will get the audio out, maybe you can convert it afterwards [05:52] bazhang: thanks. also, another thing about this. Ever since I upgraded when using 7.04 a few months ago, the "power manager" utility doesn't work correctly. Such as, when I hover over it, it shows "Battery: not present. CPU Frequency: 0 MHz" [05:53] bullgard4: I remember that english is not you first language ;) [05:53] is there an ftp client for linux that will allow me to extract passworded rar files on a server i have full rights to? [05:53] Naisenu, I'm sure some one's raised the question somewhere... the question is, do you want to spend 5 minutes in windows to convert the file, or 5 days browsing the net and messing with system files? [05:53] bro_man, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 [05:53] wckdkl0wn: I'm confused, you're end goal is to copy a file and unrar on a server you have an account on? [05:53] Silent: Can I convert it here? Or can you recommend a program to convert it? [05:53] wckdkl0wn, winrar has a linux release [05:54] nickrud: Yes, that is correct. My mother's language is not English. But this was not important when I put this question here. [05:54] Naisenu, I'm not sure, you can try the windows video editor, or "obtain" *cough* a copy of sony vegas [05:54] kelsin, i just uploaded like 20 rars to my webhost but now i need to extract them on the server. it was easier to upload the rars instead of the thousands of files [05:54] wckdkl0wn: do you have ssh access? [05:54] you'd have to look for the codecs, however [05:54] they say i do but i cant connect to it [05:54] wckdkl0wn: so you can log in and run unrar (if they have it installed) [05:54] jailed ssh access [05:55] maybe i am doing something wrong with ssh i dont know [05:55] I'd think the phone company would have utilities to convert their video files to something a bit more mainstream [05:55] soldats:... ok, got the link ... do you think it will make a difference if OS is feisty ? [05:55] wckdkl0wn: well you're first step to being able to work on the server (not just copy and move files) is to get a shell account, after that you won't be so stuck, but the ftp protocol (afaik) doesn't allow you to run random programs on the host, so you'll need to unrar locally then upload === z9999__ is now known as z9999 [05:56] wckdkl0wn: just "ssh user@whatever.com" unless they do crazy other stuff [05:56] kelsin can i pm you? [05:56] reguarding the ssh [05:56] wckdkl0wn: no [05:56] !pm [05:56] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [05:56] for future reference, what signal do i use in place of the gnome terminal's kill process? [05:56] bro_man, no i dont believe so ive used this wiki for a little over a year and ive had no problems most commands are the same [05:56] hey it work === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [05:56] they say in the email to make sure i use port 2222 [05:57] Ashfire_Server, what [05:57] "ssh -p 2222 user@system.com" [05:57] wckdkl0wn: looking at rar, it appears to depend upon nothing, so you should be able to upload it [05:57] soldats: ok... coolness... [05:57] bro_man, i hope it help if not ill look again tomorrow and ill see if your online [05:57] kelsin ty that worked i was able to connect then [05:57] ty [05:58] soldats: what signal number does the gnome-system-monitor use for the "kill process" option? [05:58] something just made a loud noise [05:58] am I being robbed? [05:58] excuse me, lol [05:58] brb [05:58] !ot | silent [05:58] wckdkl0wn: so if they have the unrar ultility you're all set, otherwise might not be, if that's the case maybe you should unrar locally all of the files, then tar them up and copy them up to the server [05:58] Ashfire_Server, do you mean a pid for a certain app [05:58] silent: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:59] Ashfire_Server, if you open system monitor and look for the process id you can type "kill "id number"" and it should kill it [05:59] soldats: no. what signal dos gnome-system-monitor use for "kill process" [05:59] * silent calls out into the hallway, "it's free software, I swear, just go to ubuntu.com!" [05:59] wtf [05:59] soldats: ok... it will probably work then, providing I dont misconstrew it... I have a different problem for tomorrow with my backup system, Xubuntu... screwed that one up too... [05:59] man [05:59] :/ [06:00] think I'm running outa ram already [06:00] bro_man, ill be on at somepoint if i see you ill try to help as much as i can [06:00] but seriously i'm going to check it out [06:00] *grabs knife* [06:00] ya, be safe [06:00] silent: I hope you don't live on a hill [06:00] ok, so i used utorrent.exe to download a OS and it was saved inside wine, is there any way to first) unpack the .rar file, then burn it inside the wine folder?? [06:00] lol [06:00] nickrud: hah [06:01] or a... nvm [06:01] Ashfire_Server, what exactly do you need to do with the kill function [06:01] soldats: ok, coolness... here's hoping that all you do, deserves you. [06:01] to unrar in ssh i use the tar command right? [06:01] there are few things quite as awkward as forgetting it's not yet late, and walking out into the living room holding a knife while your family is watching tv [06:01] weird [06:02] ok, so i used utorrent.exe to download a OS and it was saved inside wine, is there any way to first) unpack the .rar file, then burn it inside the wine folder?? does anyone know a solution to my problem? or am i going to have to redownload the file? [06:02] wckdkl0wn: no, you would use unrar or rar , hopefully they have it installed. Otherwise, you can install rar on your machine, then transfer the binary to your server [06:02] wckdkl0wn: ssh is JUST like the teminarl on your computer, so saying "in ssh" doesn't apply for that question, and unfortunatley no. Tar handles tar files (and can handle gzipping and bzipping the tar files for you) For rar you need unrar afaik [06:02] soldats: ust forget it [06:02] linux4me, unrar [06:02] damnit [06:02] linuxftw, unrar [06:02] it's inside WINE tho [06:02] <--- BBL [06:02] can't do much in wine [06:02] ok, so i'm trying to remove a package, but it tells m,e i need to reinstall it first, and when i try to reinstall it, it gives me errors... any ideas on how to get past this? [06:02] then cd to the directory dood [06:02] well the C:\ browser atleasr [06:02] Ashfire_Server, sorry i just didnt understand the "signal" issue but maybe im too drunk [06:03] linuxftw: still means the file is in like .wine/drive_c or something like that [06:03] lol i am really bad at cd locating [06:03] linuxftw, do not utter "C:\" here... it is taboo [06:03] linux4me: cd .wine/drive_c , then you are in C:\ :) [06:03] linuxftw, type ls -a to see all file [06:03] linuxftw: if your wine is setup nicely should have a z: drive or something that's actually your home dir [06:03] abcde stopped working. so I ran it with "-V" switch and it gets stuck when checking for freedb status... anyone knows if freedb is dead? [06:04] what's that wine gui config? that utility is very nice [06:04] is there a command to eject a cd? [06:04] winecfg [06:04] burepe: eject [06:04] linuxftw: If your file is in a subfolder but you don't remember which one, you can use find and grep to search for it. [06:04] thanks [06:04] that's the one... very nice [06:04] lol [06:04] burepe: sometimes you will need sudo eject [06:04] nickrud, what do u mean by transfer binary to the server? [06:04] I used to run utorrent/foobar2000 through wine [06:05] sudo eject /media/cdrom [06:05] what java package do i install [06:05] I've since learned the error of my ways [06:05] i recently installed xserver-xgl and then removed it, but now whenever i start a gnome session, it tells me that there is a conflicting keyboard config (configured as pc101, but gnome settings saved as 105), how do i get rid of this annoying start up message?

I am looking for just basic editing, advanced editing isn't required.. [06:36] [06:36] i come from pf and iptables is an abortion to me [06:36] silent can i show what i have in pastbin ? [06:36] how do i check which cards are support with ndiswrapper [06:36] astro76, mojo : Thank you very much for advising. [06:37] deadlyallance790, sure [06:37] Babatos: firestarter [06:37] it's been a while though [06:37] what is the command to install bison [06:37] deadlyallance790, aftet you paste in your stuff and save it, the new page it shows you .... copy that URL and paste it in here [06:37] dell_lin, first check if card is supported *without* ndiswrapper, i.e. by native drivers, if not then you can use ndiswrapper for anything with a windows driver [06:37] mojo: ok, you're getting into stuff I know of (theoretically) , you would use showkey to get the scan code of the key, use setkeycodes to give it a code that xev will see, then either map them directly using keyboard shortcuts or write some stuff for xkb. Theoretically [06:38] Sulo_Seppa: that's a hard question to answer cuz lol most programs arn't too good, try googling something like video editing software .deb [06:38] rom11: apt-get install bison ? [06:38] don';t forget sudo.. [06:38] astro76: yes dear freind i am using this card with wireless and card provider didnt porivide drivers for that [06:38] or sudo su for ease of use [06:38] Sulo_Seppa, the package names are bison and gawk [06:39] in b4 flamefest [06:39] nickrud, that is helpful... i had a feeling xev only recognized configured keys in x. i'll check showkey and setkeycodes... :D [06:39] yes [06:39] dell_lin, what is it? [06:39] ok silent mind helping me burn the iso? or can you give me name of iso 7.10 came with so i can try piece togeather? [06:39] the burner soft's [06:40] raulh, right click the iso file [06:40] silent, sudo -i is better, but no big deal [06:40] it's stll in wine..] [06:40] dlink 510 has only driver with windows not with linux so i have to use ndiswrapper [06:40] sudo -s [06:40] how to get awk [06:41] rom11, install gawk [06:41] mojo: one other thing: remember that some keyboards require software to use the keys, they have no normal key codes at all [06:41] astro76: is there list /database of cards supported by ndiswrapper [06:41] sudo apt-get insatll gawk [06:41] is the right command? [06:41] raulh, if you need to get to nautilus to burn (I don't know the command for burning) type nautilus . [06:41] it will open up a window for ya [06:41] dell_lin, you seem to have ignored my first two statement/questions [06:41] nickrud, thanks... um, where do i find those programs? know what package? i found xkbutils but they aren't part of that (according to apt-cache show) [06:41] mojo: on windows, mostly [06:42] yes i undesrstand but its not working some how [06:42] dell_lin, what is it? [06:42] mojo: , oh, doh, one sec [06:42] what is the use of bison and gawk [06:42] is pastebin not working right ? [06:42] dell_lin, i.e. what does lspci | grep -i wireless tell you? [06:42] good bye I' going to windows xp [06:43] deadlyallance790, try pastebin.ca [06:43] eses enjoy [06:43] nickrud, you can get the linux superhero award for the day if you can also point me in the directon of a program that can toggle the message LED ;) [06:43] mojo: message led? [06:43] I have 1100 ebooks but I want to be able to search for keywords of the titles to be able to fine the correct one is there any kind of program that could help me [06:43] mojo: they're in console-tools, that's already installed iirc [06:44] silent http://pastebin.ca/809094 [06:44] how to install zlib [06:44] groovy [06:44] rom11: what for? [06:44] im drawung a blank here, how do i mount a ntfs sata drive (sda1) at /mnt/ms [06:44] any .deb that needs it will install it via dependencies [06:45] oakxx: man mount [06:45] building openwrt kernel [06:45] I have 1100 ebooks but I want to be able to search for keywords of the titles to be able to fine the correct one is there any kind of program that could help me [06:45] also, if my drive is plugged in and its not showing up @ /dev/sda1 is there a way I can scan for that device? [06:45] mojo: if you mean the led's on the keyboard, xset led 3 will turn on the caps lock led [06:45] hey, umm wow silent lol umm dude i was kinda dumb.. [06:45] rom11: zlib is already installed [06:45] i should've just gone to my home drive and gone from there [06:45] oakxx: no [06:45] easily right-clicked the file D: [06:45] i am so surprised that ubuntu does not use s2ram [06:46] nickrud, the kbd is an HP Multimedia keyboard. back/playpause/stop/fwd/eject, vol knob, and mute across the top. those work. then there are 12 rubber keys above the number pad, and a LED to the left of the first rubber key (messages key). messages/phone/Internet(works)/suspend on first row, shortcuts 1/2(works)/3 and "information" on bottom row. [06:46] I'm running ubuntu-server gutsy, I've added one user with "adduser rxkaffee" executed from root account(I know root account login isn't the norm for desktop ubuntu, not sure if this is the case normally in ubuntu-server or not, but I only had root) Any other users I try to add via the same method I recieve the error "adduser: Could not find program named 'groupadd' in $PATH." but I can run groupadd manually just fine [06:46] its actually in the kernel now its so stable. [06:46] does anyone know how to burn .iso images with original burner? [06:46] raulh: "with original burner"? [06:46] nickrud, DOH i meant 8 rubber keys. Only two are working as of now [06:47] any idea why adduser can not find the groupadd program? [06:47] came with 7.10 [06:47] nickrud, and the LED is in addition to the normal numlock/scrolllock/capslock lights. it has a fourth (messages) light. [06:47] wait is it "file image" [06:47] mojo: I had a microsoft keyboard, had some keys that weren't recognized in xev. What I'm telling you about is what I was researching getting those keys working; I lost the keyboard before I finished, so I stopped looking [06:47] on cd/dvd creator [06:47] nickrud, i will play with xset, i have that i think [06:48] lost a keyboard? is it under the couch? :) [06:48] nickrud, your help is definitely appreciated. searching the web was not getting me anyhere, just forum posts from other seekers [06:48] deadlyallance790, no idea dude, that swf is pretty slick tho [06:48] I like it [06:48] it is saying missing libz.so or zlib.h [06:48] Dr_willis: no, I moved, and somehow it didn't get packed [06:49] nickrud, i bet its in that big box in the garrage labeled 'underware' :) [06:49] rom11: openwrt uses another CPU arch (ARM). Ubuntu doesn't support ARM [06:49] laptops make losing keyboards impossible === leob is now known as leobru [06:49] nickrud, i lost thekeyboard to my serial terminal.. for 10 years.. then i tossed out the terminal and fond the keyboard the NEXT day! :) === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:50] Good old WYSE terminals.

[06:50] Dr_willis: lol, that happened with my best pair of running shoes [06:50] me fabio [06:50] vmware D: [06:50] !best | fabio [06:50] fabio: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [06:50] lol [06:51] wtf [06:51] fabio thats true but vmware is good :p [06:51] virtual machine [06:51] is not compatible to my pc [06:51] vm is just another program [06:51] vmware, or virtual box - depends on your needs however. [06:51] vmware is a virtual machine.. [06:51] dosbox ! :) [06:51] ulz! [06:51] i wouldnt say machine but perhaps program [06:52] i made a live dos cd.. [06:52] looks like freedb is dead.... [06:52] I thought FreeDos had a live cd. at their site. [06:52] Someone called linux a bastardized dos today === _mookid is now known as mookid [06:52] 0_o wha [06:52] nickrud, amazing what some people say eh.. :) [06:52] jealousy disrupts the mind [06:53] I'm almost never speechless, but ...

[06:53] nickrud, organ donor? [06:54] enjoy [06:54] ahhh [06:54] it was the jumper on the hard drive [06:54] the directory is not correct is /media/cdrom0 [06:54] how to change [06:54] nickrud, i saw a letter in a pc mag stating that OS-X was 'openBSD Linux' [06:54] :) [06:54] Dr_willis: no, the prez was walking her through our offices, introduced me as the 'IT Department' (oxymoron when applied to me) and I mentioned I was shifting a lot of stuff to linux, and that was the response [06:55] openbsd linux? um. vista is NT DOS too [06:55] Dr_willis: heh. PC Mag, what do you expect? It's not Compute [06:55] nickrud, the editors could of at least corrected the mistake in the comments. :) [06:55] ok thanks everyone for helping me :D [06:55] bye! [06:56] again, PC Mag ;) [06:56] be back soon to bother yallz d: [06:56] then again when 7 out of 10 of the letters to the mag printed were discussing Linux.. thats a good sign. [06:56] ahh the world of it. I think I want a shirt that says simply "Are you stupid?" [06:56] Well night all. [06:56] night Dr [06:57] What is the command that I can use to format my /media/disk device as ntfs [06:57] b14ck: mkfs.ntfs? [06:57] and you don't format /media/disk [06:57] b14ck: you can't [06:57] mkfs.nfts: command not found [06:57] some one talked to me, my thing is blue [06:57] Hey. I just removed Wine but the menus are still left and I can't delete them. [06:57] media/disk is a mount point. not a device. you also need the ntfstools installed [06:57] I KNOW that I can format it to ntfs [06:58] TigranG: /usr/share/applications? [06:58] b14ck: if you know, why do you ask? [06:58] Becasue I don't know how, obviouysly [06:58] I know it can be done though [06:58] I've done it before on debian. [06:58] b14ck: install ntfsprogs, and use mkntfs [06:58] nickrud, I like this keyboard a lot, since i touch type and have used computers for 25 years, feels good to me. But i have thought about one of those Logitech Wireless USB keyboards, the iTouch ones with sevral buttons and volume sliders, if i could get THAT to fully work. [06:58] Hi .. how can I to change the poscition of the panels of GNOME? [06:58] nickrud: i'll try that ty [06:58] is there some software to replace activesync for linux? something to sync a pocket pc phone edition to my ubuntu gutsy desktop === pemudaharapan is now known as fero [06:59] rhys: Nothing there [06:59] rhys: Well nothing there left by Wine [06:59] nickrud: how do i find out which device i have is mounted as /media/disk? [06:59] * mojo wishes this kbd were wireless. it would rock. [06:59] mojo: I do love a good keyboard, but don't expect all the keys to work anymore. [06:59] nickrud: so that i can format the drive itself [06:59] TigranG: then its in your home directory. pretty sure thats where wine puts it [06:59] TigranG: search for *.desktop files in your home dir [06:59] rhys: Did that [07:00] nickrud, frustrating. i know the signals are there somewhere on a wire. just... support... aaaagggghh!!! [07:00] b14ck: run "mount" with no argumetns? [07:00] b14ck: cat /etc/mtab? [07:00] b14ck: that does it, yes. Myself, I do all that ntfs stuff in windows, they know all the bugs they have to work around and don't tell anyone about [07:00] TigranG: nothing? severely odd. [07:00] an open question... in 'xserver-xorg'..... is there a way or keystroke to go back a page/option ??? === daedrik is now known as Daedric [07:01] bro_man:do you mean dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? cause as posed you question makes no sense [07:01] rhys: K now it did. I installed again and then uninstalled [07:01] bro_man: you mean while dpkg-reconfiging? I vaguely think escape does that [07:02] nickrud: I'm doing it ebcause right now I have BSD4.4 on my external drive, and I want windows to recognize it. But when I plugged it into my wnidows box it completely ignored the device since it wasn't ntfs/fat32. So I am formatting it to ntfs, then i'll connect it to my windows box, then i'll format it again [07:02] Ubuntu questions are so much fun. Its like the different levels of tech support. But all is good in open worl. [07:02] b14ck: why not just connect it and format it. windows can do that [07:03] Hi to all .. how can I to change the poscition of the panels of GNOME in ubuntu? [07:03] rhys: I just explained why not. It doesn't recognize the device, and won't even recognize that it is plugged in. [07:03] zion, you have to use your mouse [07:03] wols: I am already in xserver-xorg... I tried to scroll down the page and somehow selected whatever was on the screen and it advanced to the next page... thus, I ask, is there a way to go back a page? [07:03] b14ck: it doesn't completely ignore it. simply go into the ...whatever is it called. there is a disk manager [07:03] it should have a couple buttons on it [07:03] zion: you just grab them (shift left-mouse) and drag [07:03] b14ck: just because it doesn't create a device in "my computer [07:03] rhys: I know how to format a drive, but I'm telling you. It wasn't even listed in the hardware manager. [07:03] It was just listed as an incmopatible USB driver. [07:04] bro_man: you are wrong. there are no "pages" in xserver-xorg. xserver-xorg is is X server. that stuff that paints pretty picutures on your screen [07:04] I've done this before, and had the same problem. [07:04] b14ck, sorry to disapoint. [07:04] Could not load the settings file '/root/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml' (VERR_OPEN_FAILED).

[07:04] Windows reconizes ANY drive... regardless of the partitions/filesystems. IF you have an incmopatible USB driver., the problem is elsewhere... [07:05] rhys, what do you mean by disk manager [07:05] what seems  to be the problem? [07:05] b14ck, left click on my computer, manage [07:05] sigh.

So, you shouldn't need to reboot [07:15] ok, thanks guys[linux rules!!] [07:16] nickrud: The last item of the list is separated from the list items proper. It gives the name of the list indirectly. Does this last item read in English "Clear the list of lastly opened documents" or how does it read? [07:16] zeay: what soundcard?

[07:56] TigranG: zanpakatou: wols_: nickrud: thanks for all your help, i should figure it out eventually, i fluked it a few monthes back using edgy, but that harddrive clicked out, thanks again [07:56] astro76: so any ideas about icons & fonst size in nautilus? [07:56] StEaLtHtHiEf: I dont know, thats odd. It is working for me. Double check spelling lol? [07:56] Kostya: I dont get what you want [07:57] Kostya, I had asked if that worked, I guess not? [07:57] hi... [07:57] TigranG: have a look here in this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=632989&highlight=nautilus [07:57] astro76: nope, that did not helped [07:57] hmmm, no ideas then? I might just my the CD somewhere. [07:57] ugh, I can't figure out pm but yeah, spelling is ok. Kostya, do you mean set my start page to ubuntuforums or is my start page set to.... ? [07:57] hello [07:57] Kostya : afaik if you change it trough fonts in preferences you'll be changing the global settings... and as for the icongs... personally i would try to find a good themes that would suit my needs ... [07:58] astro76: this will increase font size all over the gnome... [07:58] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [07:58] how do i change permissions on a secondary hdd? [07:58] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [07:58] mitchbones: what permissions? [07:58] doh. he left [07:58] Kostya, yeah I dont' understand what you want either, because if you want the font bigger, just zoom to 50%, since the font takes up more room, the larger icon isn't wasting space [07:58] munk_ : how do you intend to change the permission ? on boot or manually? [07:59] so what does " libdvdcss2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed" mean to me? [07:59] wols_, what?! [07:59] oh you hit m and tab i guess [07:59] bluefoxx: it means you download from the wrong repo [07:59] bluefoxx: download the package from a feisty repo not a gutsy one [07:59] When you install ubuntu, does it install Grub on Windows or your Ubuntu partiton? [07:59] Kostya: I dont know of anyone way, in nautilus the font size depends on zoom level and font size in Apperance [07:59] bluefoxx : it means you have a different version which means you have to replace it supported one... you have to know what distro yous is and compare it to the one you downloaded [07:59] mitchbones: stage2 is installed in /boot/grub/ [08:00] ty [08:00] so how do i do that? [08:00] astro76: bit it's not logical, the control tells me to make icons size smaller, why does it makes font size smaller too....??? [08:00] bluefoxx: you've been told how to get the proper one [08:00] zanpakatou, on boot...i just want to be able to share the hdd over samba and be able to access it cuz right now its only set to plugdev group... [08:00] I wanted ot uninstall ubuntu on this HD and just have it on a seperate one...that is for another day I guess [08:00] bluefoxx : it only happens if you put a repository which is not for your current distro [08:00] Kostya, it says nothing about icon size, just zoom [08:00] mitchbones: you cannot uninstall. but you can overwrite [08:00] TigranG: that is what I want to know. so basically there is no ways to configure this settings separately.. [08:00] mitchbones: GRUB is installed on the MBR [08:00] mitchbones: to answer that questino you posed [08:01] Thats what I mean't [08:01] Kostya: Not that I know/think of [08:01] mitchbones: ah, then wols_ addressed it :) [08:01] mitchbones: sorry to bug [08:01] scguy, np! [08:01] TigranG: ok, thanks guys [08:01] astro76: ok, thanks guys [08:01] Kostya, so if somehow the icon to font-size ratio is not acceptable to you, you need to find a new theme or modify yours [08:01] bluefoxx: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 [08:01] munk_ : we have similar problems before ... I solved mine by reinstalling my ubuntu... can't help you with that... because if you try to change the ownership it will not permit you to do so.. even if you're sudo [08:01] i have 2 partitions in the first i have win witch partition method i must use to install ubuntu in the 2 partition? [08:01] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [08:02] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [08:02] Kostya, no prob ;) [08:02] can tis be modified in the theme? I think it should be in the sources of nautilus... [08:02] Kostya, I would think the theme [08:02] munk_ : i'm guessing it's fat32 partion u have problems on [08:02] zanpakatou, i dont want to change ownership to something else only group or others.. its a ntfs ....worse than fat:( [08:02] munk_: put it in fstab to be mounted on boot. nothing to do with permissions at all [08:03] munk_: what's the fstab entry for the partition? [08:03] astro76: well, I cannot see any fonts related settings in the gnome/gtk themes... I still think it should be in the sources. say for example when zooming, decrease the font size less than it's at the moment.. [08:03] my laptop's screen just blew up i think what do i do [08:03] or it just failed and every thing stoped working [08:03] wols_ i havent looked into fstab yet let me take a peak [08:03] munk_ : there is however you could do.. there is an unofficial guide somewhere that will answer your problem.. try googling this "unofficial ubuntu guide" [08:03] peek* [08:03] chilli_: ctrl+alt+f1 [08:04] Kostya, gnome strives for simplicity so I don't see that happening :P ...but perhaps something in gconf [08:04] astro76: ok, anothe question :) is it possible to make places icons bigger? say like on macosx in finder? [08:04] chilli_: if that doesn't work: reboot. if you don't get a picture on the screen on reboot (no BIOS e.g.): not a ubuntu problem, but buy a new laptop [08:04] wols_ UUID=80C2F69090FA0800 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 thats what i have [08:04] how do i type Japanese in ubuntu? [08:04] Kostya, there are many unexposed settings available in gconf [08:04] its not running ubuntu [08:04] munk_: is the partition mounted at boot? [08:04] astro76: I checked gconf many times, nothing there... :( maybe some hidden options :) [08:04] and its brand new 2 grands [08:04] wols_ oh and a 1 at the end.. [08:05] iro: Applications->Access->Character Map? [08:05] ??? what is "kernal framebuffer device interface" ???? [08:05] yes it is...but its not a partition its another hdd i have on.. [08:05] Kostya, places icon where? [08:05] astro76: would be cool to find all gconf settings documented, including unpublished ;) [08:05] munk_: sda1 is a partition. and you don't mount harddisks, you mount partitions [08:05] TigranG, and how do you want me to TYPE Japanese there? [08:05] munk_: so if it is mounted on boot what is your problem? [08:06] astro76: say, if you got places on the left panel, is it possible to make icons bigger there? [08:06] munk_ : check this please http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [08:06] iro: Ive seen some other languages there, just told you to check it out. I'm not sure [08:06] bro_man: kernel framebuffer device. why do you want to know? what for? [08:06] !list [08:06] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:06] Kostya, dunno [08:06] astro76: ok :) [08:06] wols_ true sorry yeah...but what i was wondering is....the problem is that the owner is set to root and whenever i share this through samba it asks me for a password and user name and whenever i put mine in it doesnt work.... [08:06] astro76: propably I should as it on nautilus channels :) [08:07] wols: it is an option in configuring the xserver-xorg... [08:07] munk_: man smbpasswd. samba passwords are not the same as the system passwords [08:07] anyone now if it is possible to change the location of the tmp file in lynx? [08:07] iro: or do you want system wide Japanese? [08:07] bro_man: ignore it [08:07] astro76: ok, the last questions. is it possible to disable spell check in pidgin? I'm talking russian and this is making me crazy :) [08:07] wols_ but i dont have a smbpasswd set up.. [08:07] Kostya: lemme look [08:07] munk_: then do it [08:07] everything else i share works except this.. [08:08] Kostya: yes, Toosl -> Prefs -> Conversations [08:08] i messed with my resolution, and now alt+tab makes the screen go white. how do i fix this? [08:08] how is it shared? [08:08] Kostya: uncheck highlight misspelled words [08:08] what's the smb.conf entry for it? [08:08] TigranG, yeah i want the latter one [08:08] Kostya: though the real solution may be to change the dictionary file to Russian [08:08] Kostya: if you wanted spell checking for Russian [08:08] System->Admin->Language Support [08:08] ive added the language, but i dont know how to start typing in it [08:09] wols_ but i was wondering what the umask code i should have...its at 007 now but when i had gentoo on it was set at 0000 so im not sure if that has anything to do with it or not... [08:09] okay, so i finally got libdvdcss2 to install, but dvds still wont play [08:09] scguy318: thanks! :) how did I missed this setting...I was looking for something like spell check... [08:09] iro: Is it the default language? [08:09] no, should it be? [08:09] munk_: if you can access it locally as normal user: it doesn't. you can also change its uid from root to your user with uid= [08:09] scguy318: it's too hard to find dictionary with russian slang ;) [08:09] iro: I'm guessing, or let me see if theres any way to configure the keyboard to a language [08:10] iro: yea [08:10] wols_ would that change the owner ? [08:10] munk_: yes [08:10] Kostya: lol :) [08:10] iro: System->Pref->Keyboard [08:10] help with adi1888 soundcard [08:10] wols_ alright ill try thanks ill be back if i have any other questions.. [08:10] iro: then Layouts and check Japanese as default [08:10] zeay: lspci. pastebin the output [08:11] please help me join [08:11] why default? i need not to have Russian default to type it [08:11] yellow__: join what? [08:11] Dont make it default the, but select it [08:11] iro : if you have troubles with any configuration or settings try checking the control center first or through the "system -> preferences " and see it if will fix your problems or you could try the builtin help in ubuntu [08:11] also, is there any nice video editing program ( free/gpl ) to make movies? Kino does not have any functionality to make titles, etc...also it's not possible to produce ready DVD with menus there... [08:11] join to chat [08:11] Kostya: Kino [08:11] i did select it, TigranG [08:11] yellow__: what chat? ýou already are on irc [08:12] Kostya: didnt see you just said except kino :P [08:12] Kostya : lives... [08:12] TigranG: Kino is just to edit the scenes, but how to make titles there? [08:12] Kostya : i'm not so sure [08:12] iro: never done this before, let me try installing it [08:12] can i get some help with displayconfig-gtk please? [08:12] Kostya: google :) [08:12] zanpakatou, if you are willing to help read the question first. i did select the language, now i want to actually type in it [08:12] Kostya: look in Ubuntu Studio packages [08:12] zanpakatou: lives? is it QT based? [08:12] !ask | ozzloy [08:12] ozzloy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:12] Kostya: they're merged with the Gutsy repo me thinks [08:12] TigranG: yeah! google is the best! :) [08:12] hehehe,sory,im very blank of computer [08:13] hi i am running compiz-fusion and emerald i changed my pointer but whenever it goes into a menu it turns white again how can i fix it? [08:13] Kostya : you want Qt based? [08:13] it happens in some windows too [08:14] zanpakatou, having such a nickname you prolly know the tricks. windows ime waits for Alt-tilde to switch to kanji input mode.. annything similar in Ubuntu? [08:14] zanpakatou: nope. I'd prefer GTK/gnome apps, as I'm using ubuntu... [08:15] iro : wait a sec [08:15] http://rafb.net/p/1n7wbC33.html please, someone help? [08:15] What would cause an error 404 after installing phpmyadmin on Ubuntu? [08:16] iro: you're asking how to dynamically switch between input modes in SCIM? [08:16] I have apache2 installed with the above also [08:16] wols_: that is my question. i'm not asking if i can ask. i'm asking for help [08:16] ozzloy: you use the wrong tool. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:16] Kostya : hm... im not so sure if it's Qt though but i've read the features... i found subtitle there [08:16] Filled-void: index.php or index.phtml is not set as a start file? [08:16] Kostya, I have no files in /var/www thats whats bugging me :( [08:17] wols_: giving it a shot [08:17] scguy318, err, possibly. what's SCIM? [08:17] Kostya, I was able to get vnstat fromt end to run it previously. I moved the vnstat into a new folder and then did the install [08:17] zanpakatou: yep. it looks promising. will give it a try. remember a year ago when I was trying to switch to ubuntu, lives was like a "set of bugs" :) [08:17] Kostya : check the features on this website http://lives.sourceforge.net/ and see if the tool you need is in there... [08:18] iro: its the IME program that's installed when u do the Language Support thing [08:18] i'm a complete linux newbie. during my whole life the only thing i've done in lunux is made some cgi scripts on some shell [08:18] Kostya : set of bugs .. hmmm maybe back then it's unstable... hmmm i was also lookin' for great movie editor for linux though... [08:18] iro: are you asking about how to use the IME? :) [08:19] scguy318, err. i added Japanese as an input language. it is selected right now, thou i can type English only. since i have it selected, i must have that SCIM or whatever IME installed, right? [08:20] iro: yes [08:20] great. then yes, i want to know how to use IME :) [08:20] iro: to switch between input modes, I think it's Shift + Space [08:20] iro: then I think to actually enter something [08:20] iro : i have a quite dirty solution to your IME problem [08:20] iro: Did you get it? [08:20] zanpakatou: movie editing was the showstopper for me to move to ubuntu from windows... [08:21] iro: I figured it out [08:21] iro: listen to them :) [08:21] scguy318, that did not work [08:21] hi i'm having trouble getting my sound recognized, I have two cards on onboard and on SBLive. I want sound output via SBLive. Ubuntu seems to randomly not find this card. [08:21] okay skype now has video on linux support now umm anyone have way to install it on 7.10 under 64bit [08:21] iro : you could create an IME for you self though [08:21] iro : i found a list with sample code on it... [08:22] iro: Go to System->Pref->Keyboard then Layouts and click Add. Find Japanese and add it [08:22] zanpakatou, scguy318 said i have already installed something [08:22] wols_: ok, now i'm guessing i have to restart the xserver. wish me luck! [08:22] TigranG, yeah, i have already done it [08:22] Ok [08:22] I did modprobe snd-emu10k1 since the module wasn't loaded and then /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but still no luck [08:22] iro: Now right click on a panel and add an applet called Keyboard Indicator [08:22] now i have it selected, but the output is English [08:22] TigranG, this done, too [08:22] iro: It will let you choose with language to type with [08:23] iro: then you have a problem, works for me [08:23] TigranG: I believe he's already have the indicator, but I think he's wondering how to start typing :) [08:23] precisely :) [08:23] scguy318: Yea, you choose the language from it and type [08:23] lol [08:24] its pretty simple [08:24] TigranG: I know, but Japanese takes a little more effort :P [08:24] :D [08:24] iro: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput [08:24] whys that [08:24] /proc/asound cards only shows the onboard card [08:24] funny thing is yesterday it worked [08:24] TigranG: different character types in the language, don't quote me, I know nothing :) [08:25] scguy318, thanks, reading [08:25] scguy318: ok haha [08:25] Hello? [08:25] scguy318: I tired it with Armenian worked right away, don't get why Japanese should be any different [08:26] Shouldnt there be a phpmyadmin folder under /var/www if I installed phpmyadmin? [08:26] Excellent! I'm assuming that I've successfully connected to the channel. [08:26] iro: I'm gonna go ahead and do what I did with Japanese now, wanna see if it works, cause I dont understand why it shouldnt [08:26] Is this the correct place to come for help with Ubuntu? [08:27] yes [08:27] mnemonica_, yes [08:27] hi, which player can handle .mov files? [08:27] TigranG: you probably know more in such matters, so ignore me [08:27] ttt-: mplayer, VLC, etc.? [08:27] thanks [08:28] how can i make/enable a "send" button in gaim? [08:28] ttt: you need the gstreamer codec first [08:28] TigranG: well, not with those players :P [08:28] TigranG: since they do not use GStreamer API anyway [08:28] TigranG: but you are correct when using Totem and such :) [08:28] Excellent. I have a pretty bad problem. I've posted in several forums, but no help. I was trying to uninstall compiz-fusion and was deleting some repositories or something (I'm really new to this) and now I can't login normally. I can login to failsafe GNOME and the terminal but nothing else. Help? [08:28] scguy318: you probably know more in such matters, so ignore me ;) [08:28] TigranG: lol :) [08:29] mnemonica_: reason is, you've probably removed XGL, and your login script spawned XGL [08:29] Oh, and when I try to login normally, it goes to the desktop for a breif second (the brown screen) and then flashes black and drops back to the login screen. [08:29] And, ok... How do I fix it. Or do I? [08:29] Sigh reinstalling phpmyadmin works now :) [08:29] hw c [08:29] mnemonica_: well, you could stick to failsafe or reverse the edits you made to your login script, I'm afraid I can't really help with that :( [08:30] how can i enable writing on my sd card with ubuntu ? [08:30] tried with v [08:30] MOTZ: how is the card mounted? [08:30] MOTZ: if you insert it does it not auto-mount and permit write? [08:30] chmod a+w /media [08:30] mnemonica_, what exactly did you do to uninstall compiz-fusion? [08:30] MOTZ: run mount. pastebin its output [08:31] mountpoint u mean ? [08:31] : it is possible that your compisiting is still enabled... or metacity wasn't set as your default manager... [08:32] no. I mean you should do what I told you [08:32] wols_: lol [08:32] I don't exactly remember... I to know that I was doing something with fgxl or something like that and then hit ctrl+alt+backspace and it logged me out (I'm guessing?) and then it didn't work. [08:32] lol [08:32] ok [08:33] i never donee that ;) [08:33] mnemonica_: did you uninstall compiz or did you mess with fglrx? which one is it? [08:33] he messed with fglrx whiel uninstalling compiz [08:33] Both? Everything I was doing I was doing by following along some guides I found via google. I'm really new with this stuff, so I'm not sure. [08:33] TigranG: that is nonsense [08:33] tell him [08:33] mnemonica_: pastebin your xorg log [08:33] lol [08:34] mnemonica_: as I said before, check your login script based upon what you told me [08:34] wols_: How do I do any of that? [08:34] i want to chat with someone please [08:34] mnemonica_, can you post the address of this guide so we can get some idea what you were doing? [08:34] yellow: what sort of chat? [08:34] : it is probably save in your session including the the stuffed you screwd that's why you couldn't login to your normal session... [08:34] yellow: you already are. this is a ubuntu support channel, not a general chat one [08:34] yellow: more than 1000 ppl here to chat with, pick one [08:35] yellow: do you need support with ubuntu? [08:35] anything,im new,looking for a new friend [08:35] yellow: go to #defocus [08:35] yellow: this isnt a social place [08:35] I don't know where anything is. I don't know what a login script is, or where to find it, or what a pastebin is or what a xorg log is or where to find it. [08:35] I really really really want to do what you're telling me, but I don't know how. [08:35] yellow: or #ubuntu-offtopic [08:36] Throw me a bone... lol [08:36] mnemonica_: ok, so link us to the guide that you were following when you installed Compiz :) [08:36] why doesn't a disk mounted with the ramfs filesystem show up in df? is this normal? [08:37] what do i have to do to make alsa find a card? just modprobe the necessary module and restart alsa-utils or will i have to do something else? [08:38] hey wol where can i find out the mountpoint should it be media/Cardname ? [08:38] Sorry, had to search around... I think it was this ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533201 and when I did the second thing, it started acting weird. [08:38] dbr_: pretty much modprobing the driver should be enough [08:38] The second code, I mean. [08:38] MOTZ: the mount point is a directory of your choosing [08:39] did that, no luck [08:39] and the device name is only in my case" NDS" i think [08:40] MOTZ: answer my question [08:40] MOTZ: how is the card mounted? [08:40] where can i see that? [08:41] aI told you already what to paste [08:41] the module is loaded and i don't see any complaints in dmesg but alsa only sees my onboard card [08:41] oh really ? [08:41] dbr_: how did you check? [08:41] wait [08:41] lsmod [08:41] Sorry, had to search around...

[08:55] @find ciao [08:56] dbr : i c thx [08:56] dbr_: if you do a rm -rf * somewhere, it won't work if the glob catches too many files since then the bash commandline is exhausted [08:56] wols_ thx [08:57] wols_, ok i see.

[09:01] hi, I screwed up the default file permissions on my system .. is there a quicker method to restore it than manually resetting permissions? [09:01] opsyde: you could reinstall, if you had hosed the permissions for say /etc [09:02] i don't want to lose my configurations, drivers, installed apps, etc. [09:02] opsyde: well what exactly did you do? [09:02] can someone tell how the change the language on the main panel [09:02] Jimnastics, most likely sed can do this. [09:02] chmod 777 /* -R [09:02] opsyde: reinstall [09:03] opsyde: oh, that's bad [09:03] hehe [09:03] opsyde: what wols_ said, and don't do that please [09:03] i've got root access on a console though [09:03] opsyde, you don't need root access [09:03] opsyde: forget it, cuz changing permissions back to normal == faster to reinstall [09:04] there are some websites hosted on this root, i want to get into httpd.confand then i want to change the source for all [09:04] opsyde, lol [09:04] yeah, but don't i lose all my stuff?

[09:07] Damn I'm sick of hearing generic crappy management quote Gartner! [09:08] opsyde: nope, and there really isn't a default per se, unless you're talking about file creation? [09:08] Think you can set that with umask, can't you? [09:08] Gartner is prof that people can't think for themselves [09:08] na, i mean the files in /etc .. i set sudo to 440, and i could use it [09:09] *in /etc, for example [09:09] you aren't the owner of this folder [09:09] and oh, i realized what i did, and terminated the command .. i'm sure most of the original permissions are intact [09:10] Does anyone have any experience with getting a dual-head configuration up and running? I've tried like, 4 tutorials and none of it's working [09:10] =/ [09:10] Why do my monitor speakers and headphones both play when I plug in my headphones and how do I fix it? [09:10] opsyde: perhaps, but honestly a reinstall would be faster [09:12] Lleumas: How are your devices connected? [09:13] dbr: I did what you suggested and it asked for the original 7.10 install disk... Glad a made an isntall disk for 7.10 when I upgraded from 7.04... Because it asked for it just now. ... Still installing stuff. [09:13] Monitor is through the audio cord in back of my computer and I plug my speakers in through the front one [09:13] user [09:13] star [09:13] Lleumas: try double clicking on your volume icon ( in gnome) and messing with the levels. try changing the "Headphone" and the "Mono" settings [09:14] user [09:14] star [09:14] hmm. I have the same configuration, and I get the same result, but I just turn off my main speakers and the headphones work [09:15] is there something else than fdisk that will give a simpler output for listing all disks available? [09:16] Alright... it installed everything that the guide undid (I'm guessing) what now? [09:17] Josiah: My main speakers are built into my monitor. I don't have the headphone options in the volume levels only thing I have that includes headphone is in switches to tick it on or off. [09:17] damn, thanks anyway [09:17] mbithy [09:17] sss [09:17] Gotcha [09:18] dbr? I finished doing what you suggested, it installed everything... What now?

Is there any other settings in the BIOS that would make Ubuntu hang? [09:23] Nope. Didn't work. Still have the same issues. The only thing that I notice that is different is that now I have "custom" to select when looking at my visual effects options. But when I select anything other that "no effects" it tells me that it cannot enable desktop effects... I was using effects like the rotating cube thing before all of this... So I know my computer can do it. Any ideas? [09:24] Anyone running ubuntu on a laptop? what's "cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode" say? [09:24] how i can to backup OS? [09:24] !backup [09:24] There are many ways to back your system up.

[09:26] So.... here's a question. [09:26] a gui editor of course, not a command line editor like pico, vi, etc.. [09:26] Vim sort of grows on you [09:26] ah nice [09:26] psilo [09:26] I hear Bluefish is nice too [09:26] indeed. I like vim. Kate is much like notepad++ from windows [09:26] Actually, Netbeans has a pretty good HTML editor too [09:26] dbr: Nope. Didn't work. Still have the same issues. The only thing that I notice that is different is that now I have "custom" to select when looking at my visual effects options. But when I select anything other that "no effects" it tells me that it cannot enable desktop effects... I was using effects like the rotating cube thing before all of this... So I know my computer can do it. Any ideas? [09:26] You know how, when you change the volume, you get that popup that shows what volume your system is at? [09:26] help me .i can`t auto mount my swap [09:26] yang@new:~$ swapon -L /dev/hda5 [09:26] swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-label/\x2fdev\x2fhda5: No such file or directory [09:27] Got a little Problem here: openoffice, avidmux, kino and audacity crash with a segmenation fault.

[09:28] \x2f is 0x2f is / [09:28] imitation: I think thats slightly more than a small problem. seg faults are _extremely_ hard to diagnose and fix. I recommend you try the 32bit version of ubuntu [09:29] xTheGoat121x: you can adjust your volume using alsamixer via CLI, or kmix if you're running kde (or the kdelibs) [09:29] can.anyone.tell.me.how.to.map.my.left.alt-key.(keycode.64).to."space space".because.last.night.my.spacebar.key.died?:(.no.this.is.not.a.joke [09:29] mnemonica, what graphics card do you have?

[09:39] hemcar_: fix your sources.list [09:39] yes, how to do it please ? [09:40] hemcar_: You'll need to comment out the CD from your sources.list, that'll stop it from asking [09:40] by removing the entries for the CD and making sure the ones for the repos are in [09:40] hemcar_, open /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor [09:40] hemcar_: The CD line will be obvious. [09:41] Alright.. I copy and pasted what I got from the terminal to the site. I filled out my name and hit paste. Now there's the same text in a red box. What do I do? [09:41] mnemonica: give us the url [09:41] Trying to enable mike boost with following command failed. Why ?

[09:53] Mnemonica are you trying to use compiz on 7.10? [09:54] Lleumas: Yes, and now I can't access my normal login... [09:54] check for asnd .xsession* files in your home directory [09:55] !root [09:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:55] iro: see that [09:55] s/asnd/any [09:55] mnemonica: look for .xsession* [09:55] well, it's already installed on gutsy, all you have to do is from fresh install go to synaptic and install "compizconfig settings manager" [09:55] hellow [09:56] i use LAMP [09:56] are there any how-to things that can be recomended on networking linux distros [09:56] my language is supported but it doesnt work:( [09:56] wols_: What do you mean "look for it"?

[09:57] i wanted to type jan [09:57] for user name [09:58] bluefoxx: no hdd and boot from disk is contradictory [09:58] wols_: Thought I knew where that was... But apparently I don't. How do I find my home directory [09:58] ? [09:58] mnemonica: "cd" [09:58] wols_: i meant boot from cd type disk, i use "disk" as slang for "cd" alot, my bad [09:59] something like /home/mnemonic [09:59] dbr_: seems like one of those wierd things what we have to do in linux that we shouldn't have too.

I'm looking through everything I can think of. Can you tell me exactly how I need to access what you need to know? [10:03] so how can i do my language work?

[10:55] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47348/ [10:55] Wols: I know, but that means downloading everything and here in Belgium we have strict D/L limits [10:55] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47348/ [10:55] wher i can find info about wine donwload and installation? [10:55] mnemonica: then add the cd to your sources list and upgrade that way [10:55] neumind: aptitude install wine [10:55] winehq.com [10:55] wols_: How would I go about doing that? [10:55] zetheroo, i have got it working in the past.. dont remember it being this involved [10:56] hello, i have a multiboot system windows+gutsy: is it possible to access 2 hard drives i have in RAID1 from both windows and linux ??? === matthijs is now known as IlovejumP [10:56] would be nice to have dvd playback on a fresh install :-/ [10:56] mnemonica: the date on the file is the same? and did you reallc choose to load xfce in gdm?

[10:56] msingh: blame the MPAA and MPEG-LA [10:56] neumind: then wine is installed [10:56] msingh: well its never been anything more for me than installing the medibuntu libdvdcss2 and setting the region to 4 [10:56] wols: newbie question: how do I add my CD to my sorce list + upgrade afterwards? [10:56] zetheroo I think I can talk you through it now [10:56] CrittiX: I believe you have to fresh install via CD. I don't believe you can just update. [10:57] wols_, wher i can find it when installation is done? [10:57] guardian: yes [10:57] msingh: those 2 steps I have used on over a dozen machines without a hitch [10:57] neumind: dpgkg -L wine |grep bin [10:57] neumind: dpkg -L wine |grep bin [10:57] rothchild: would you know how to use Avidmux as well? [10:57] wols_: does it suppose i have to find the corresponding linux drivers for my controller ? it's an old promise controller integrated on an asus main board [10:57] wols_: I chose to load xfce from login... I'm assuming that's gdm. And what date on what file? [10:57] guardian: but beware if you use software raid (like the one on nForce boards...that only works relaibly in Windows [10:58] Lleumas: it can be done via the alternate CD, but not the live disc. [10:58] guardian: you want to use software raid anyways. since it's not a raid card waht you have [10:58] hmm i'm afraid of touching the discs from linux :( [10:58] possibly it's all principles rather than me being a power user, I've just enough knowledge to be dangerous! ;-) [10:58] i guess i'll buy a NAS thing [10:58] and put the discs inside [10:58] guardian: linux software raid and windows software raid [10:58] Ah. That's nice to know [10:58] in kino you can use the edit tab and set the play maker to where you want your clip to end [10:59] wols_, i installed and i cant find wine [10:59] neumind: I gave you the command to use [10:59] then split the scene and you'll see another thumbnail appear in the lift hand pane [10:59] lol wine must be executed like this [10:59] wols_: yeah i understood lately that my raid was software raid achieved by the windows driver, however i don't know exactly how the windows driver does it, and i'm afraid it does not correspond to linux's way of doing raid 1 [10:59] wine windows executable.exe [10:59] wols_, that command do nothing.. [10:59] wine has no gui of its own [10:59] you can delete that (select it and cut) you are then left with your edited clip which you can export [10:59] (well, winecfg) [11:00] wols_: I chose to load xfce from login... I'm assuming that's gdm. And what date on what file? [11:00] rothchild: ahhh .... ok [11:00] rothchild: well I am trying to figure out Avidemux now..... [11:00] rothchild: an experience there?

[11:01] yes [11:02] if yes, paste a fglrxinfo [11:02] 8.42 [11:02] neumind: stop that pasting here [11:02] then it's supported [11:02] boris: thank you Boris [11:02] (badly) [11:02] boris: it doesn't [11:02] wols_, then why u cand tell me normal what i need to do?

[11:03] neumind: ls -al .xsession-errors shows you the timestamp. just press ctrl+alt+f1 that brings you to a text console [11:04] with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop you stop the login manager and then you can start X with startx for example. it might give you some errors [11:04] to get the login manager back you use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog [11:05] Neumind: Just download in synaptic [11:06] hi, I would like to install ubuntu on my mum's laptop, but I had actually some problems with networking, solved by this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522139&page=2 , but I can't reboot cuz I'm on livecd and all the things will have to be configured again, and it seems that the only working thing in networking is ping to some IP's, even ping google.com gives "unknown host" error. what to do, install without real connection and then [11:06] configure it again, and get polish translation packages, or maybe you'll have any solutions? [11:06] why is it possible to access my ubuntu via putty/ssh_winXP without having a key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys [11:06] matmax, uh, i'll install then configure it [11:07] you probably have wrong DNSs if any, since it does not ping google [11:07] MarcoZ: fix your DNS. put the proper nbameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [11:07] editing a live would be a waste of time imo [11:07] wols_: 2007-12-08 05:52 <--- what I got when I used ls -al .xsession-errors... Going to do the other stuff you suggested [11:08] good morning everyone.

[11:36] <]Spectre[> stefano,http://www.asus.it/products.aspx?l1=5&l2=26&l3=525&l4=0&model=1630&modelmenu=2 [11:36] _Dbug_, i would recomment to check everything very preciesly before spending a lot of money. maybe you should go to a local hardware dealer, they usually allow you to pop in a ubuntu cd [11:38] ]Spectre[, i have a very similar notebook by hp and the battery lasts about 1:15. The Celeron M processor really is no good when it comes to power consumption.. unfortunately [11:38] <_Dbug_> stefano, sounds like a good suggestion. Would be cool to have somewhere a page where people can indicate which hardware configuration worked/failed, a bit like WineHQ app list, but for hardware. [11:39] hi... how can i configure the system clock to be the correct time with my particular time zone? [11:39] <]Spectre[> thanks for the comparison stefano,so i think that's ok :) [11:39] _Dbug_, the german ubuntu website has such (called hardware database) [11:39] youre welcome spectre [11:39] <_Dbug_> ok [11:40] _Dbug_, maybe there is something like that in the ubuntu-wiki? [11:40] <]Spectre[> bye [11:41] wols_: Are you still there? [11:41] _Dbug_, the problem is really, that some pcs _only_ work with vista these days. it is horrible..then you sometimes don't have the right drivers for SATA so ubuntu won't recognize your hard drive and you can't install. if you really want to spend a lot of money on something like an XPS, you should be sure to check out if everything works for you [11:41] <_Dbug_> stefano, then it probably means it's even possible that I cannot install XP on it. [11:41] _Dbug_, it is possible [11:42] "the problem is really, that some pcs _only_ work with vista these days." I don't believe this [11:42] _Dbug_, you could build your system yourself though [11:42] <_Dbug_> stefano, these days I consider XP as a good OS, and Ubuntu as a thing good enough to me on my harddrive as my main os (xp is for gaming), but I hate Vista. [11:42] <_Dbug_> stefano, I'm having "home pc" deals with my company. They work only with few retailers. [11:43] i see [11:43] the main things to look for is wireless chips - don't get broadcom, generally the more intel stuff it has in it the more likely you are to have a good time with linux [11:43] Hi guys, I have a problem. I am in Ubuntu safe mode right now. Accessing the default session gives me an "your session lasted less than ten seconds" error. Can someone please help me, as this is my productivity machine? [11:43] _Dbug_, well i hope you find a retailer who is kind enough to let you put a ubuntu live cd into their machine to check out if everything works. but if youre to spend a lot of money, they are usually pretty kind :-) [11:44] gotta go, have a nice day everyone [11:44] hello folks === Pseudo is now known as Lleumas [11:45] hi [11:45] i have some problem with my ubuntu 7.10 and would like som help (newbie problem):P [11:45] wols_: I'm assuming not. So, thanks for all of your help. I really didn't get anywhere, but that's my own damned fault for messing with things in the first place :) Thank you for your time. I've been up literaly all night though, so I'm going to pass out now and work on this later. Bye. [11:46] vong10 try a reformat [11:46] Hi guys, I have a problem. I am in Ubuntu safe mode right now. Accessing the default session gives me an "your session lasted less than ten seconds" error. Can someone please help me, as this is my productivity machine? [11:46] vong10: what's the issue? [11:46] its not like that. but everytime i click the restart button the system shuts down instead [11:47] compuman: run df to see if any of your filesystems are full [11:48] Can I upload a newer version of existing package in ubuntu to my PPA? [11:48] 5%, 1%, 0%, 1%, 28%... what doess all of that mean?

[11:49] adamonline45, thanks [11:49] apt-get is upgrading, its updatting a package called linux-ubuntu-modules(uname -r)what is tis package for, i would assume its some kernel modules??? [11:49] compuman: Use% at 100 [11:49] vong10: I'm sorry, I'm at a loss on that... But really, how often do you restart? I wish that were MY biggest issue 8) [11:50] usually I restart when i want to use Windows XP [11:50] vong10: if you run 'sudo reboot' in a terminal, does it shutdown or reboot? [11:50] xcst: np! [11:51] yes, the system shuts down also when sudo reboot:S [11:51] lots of updates recently [11:51] SoundRay, it's not there. It's 28% or less. [11:51] vong10: ooh, gotcha... Hmm... Yeah, I'm sorry, I wish I could help more! Have you tried (i think) sudo shutdown -r now [11:52] compuman: good, it's not that then. Look at your .xsession-errors file -- it may contain a hint. [11:52] where is that located? [11:52] compuman: in your home directory [11:52] adamonline45, i also want to change the controls [11:52] adamonline45: does shutdown -r restart the system? [11:52] adamonline45, not the window border only [11:52] Hi [11:53] vong10: 'shutdown -r now' is essentially the same as reboot [11:53] process:5335): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.

Even if not, I know shutdown provides a restart option, and it possibly might provide a new outlet for restarting that works mroe predicatbly... I'm afraid that's the best I can offer 8) [11:54] vong10: I mean, I don't believe it will solve your problem. === nuu is now known as nu === nu is now known as nuu [11:54] compuman: do not paste error messages here [11:54] SoundRay, any clue what the error message means?

[12:06] it com with a desktp one not a server. [12:07] come [12:07] gluonman: paste into a directory where you have write permissions, like your $HOME [12:07] Would it be easy for my mother to use? [12:07] soundray, is it impossible to paste it in usr? [12:07] soundray: <3 [12:08] gluonman: no, but I would recommend strongly against it. What kind of data is it? [12:08] soundray, it is information that I'm taking from the computer I'm on right now. The other computer has no internet access, so instead of downloading something from the repos I am trying to build it by copying and pasting it from this computer. [12:09] soundray, which is why some things will belong in usr and places like that. [12:09] hi all [12:09] can anyone tell me what would be the best sollution for a server for a noob? [12:09] !aptoncd | gluonman [12:09] gluonman: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [12:09] soundray: What is rs232? [12:09] gluonman: much better to transfer the .deb packages and install them properly [12:09] x_zeuss, the server install cd found at www.ubuntu.com might help there [12:10] adamonline45: a protocol standard for serial communications [12:10] soundray, where are the .deb packages? [12:10] x_zeuss: Probably ubuntu with a LAMP install... [12:10] adamonline45: good for old modems and lab equipment [12:10] Is there an opensource virusscanner that runs on linux but detects windows viruses? [12:10] gluonman: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [12:10] ompaul: i've heard that ubuntu is not the best sollution for a server [12:10] x_zeuss, then why ask here [12:10] soundray, thanks.

[12:12] kylk, yes, there are several av for linux... from the opensource clamav to versions of AVG, Avast, etc [12:12] x_zeuss, some of it is on dapper and some of it I have on fiesty [12:12] Hello, there! Is there a program that I can use in text mode (terminal) to view images? [12:12] x_zeuss: True, many of us are probably biased here... But I assure you we've got our reasons, so does that not count for objectivity? ;) [12:13] francesco_: Ascii images? [12:13] No! I just don't want to pas through GNOME or KDE. [12:13] pas=pass [12:14] francesco_: eog, display (from imagemagick), gqview [12:14] Do these programmes allow me to modify images? [12:14] adamonline45: so what do u recomand for a noob server? [12:14] "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. [12:14] This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper [12:14] program instead."

[12:15] Soundray, I cannot use my computer without safe mode. [12:15] francesco_: yes [12:16] compuman: your original question was much better - more precise. Don't address me, I don't know how to solve it. [12:16] compuman: do mention that none of your filesystems are full [12:16] Excuse me, but can I use Synaptic only in GUI mode, is there a program in text mode (terminal) too? Or I only can use apt-get? [12:17] francesco_: aptitude [12:17] francesco_, sudo apt-get install zgv [12:17] No! I want to view the list of all programs like in Synaptic. [12:17] I receive the error message "This process is currently running setuid or setgid. [12:17] This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper program instead." None of my filesystems are full, and this error message forces me to boot in safe mode on my productivity message. I'd appreciate your help, please. [12:17] x_zeuss: Ubuntu 6.06 server (longest support until Hardy comes out), with the LAMP install option. It's worked quite well for me, and I'd still use it if I didn't feel like workin' too hard on an install... :) [12:17] francesco_: use sudo aptitude [12:18] Holy moly... Hiccups = bedtime... G'night all! [12:18] francesco_, the console is an alternative to the gui don't expect to get all you get on one to be as easy to use on the other [12:19] adamonline45: dapper will be supported beyond the next LTS release [12:19] I mean, when I used DOS, there was DOSshell that was similar to "file manager" in Windows 3.1. [12:20] I'm looking for something like that. [12:20] francesco_: do you read me? [12:20] soundray: Yes. [12:20] francesco_: for the third time: use sudo aptitude [12:20] francesco_, you have been told by soundray how to do this [12:21] Thank you very much. Goodbye.

I may easily be mistaken though... [12:22] is possible to use hfsplus in write mode with ubuntu 7.10 ? [12:22] adamonline45, na dapper is desktop june 09 and server june 11 [12:22] !lts | adamonline45 [12:22] adamonline45: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [12:23] toplok: yes [12:23] toplok: I don't think hfsplus with journalling is supported, though [12:24] thx [12:24] ompaul: Oh cool!

Morning Coffee. :P [15:01] gvsa123: ok... so maybe "video" group is what he needs? [15:01] what is the package with ls command and such ? [15:01] diego-luiz, what do you mean?

[15:03] bonsoir :) [15:03] FrankLakatos: do you understand what you need to do? [15:03] jrib: something like cat initrd.img | cpio > something [15:03] jrib: whooops... i can't find the 'video' group in the gui, but i see it in the commandline.. how do i add them via terminal? it's not chgrp isn't it? [15:03] mirak: heh... [15:04] gvsa123: sudo adduser USER GROUP [15:04] jrib: problem is that it's ppc binaries.

But I can listen to the music anyway [15:06] jrib: done... i'll check it out... but one more... i checked the man for adduser... if adduser USER GROUP adds the USER to a GROUP, how does addgroup work? [15:06] uncommon: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-boston-2007/+roadmap though this is better asked in #ubuntu+1 [15:07] gvsa123: same. Though you can also do 'adduser USER' to create a group or 'addgroup GROUP' to create a group [15:07] any idea? [15:07] Lets try that again. when i try to start synaptic i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47381/ [15:07] better?

[15:30] wazeem: I do not know anything about wireless, but I will send you the documentation. Best to just state your issue or ask your question in a single to the channel [15:30] !wifi > wazeem (read the private message from ubotu) [15:31] then i restarted the comp and it stopped working or responding at all [15:31] someone here told me the command sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and that fixed it again [15:31] jrib, is the folder /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox? i have both folders [15:31] but when i restarted it stopped. but this time the sudo modprobe command dont work either [15:31] j [15:32] jramsey: neither, you want ~/.mozilla/plugins/ unless you know why you do not want it :) [15:32] wazeem: have you tried installing windows 95, it better than ubuntu..

[15:35] does anybody know how to associate apt protocol to firefox? [15:35] wols_: Yeah it's fglrx [15:36] har en fråga om Gutsy, hur fungerar ATI-Radeon-korten där? I Feisty var det ibland ett jävla strul. [15:36] phoenix__: there is no apt protocol [15:36] wols_: Any idea if I can somehow get higher resolution? [15:36] xoqrps: yes it can do higher. higher than vesa for sure [15:36] jrib, that works; txs for ur help [15:36] Yeah but 1400x900 is the highest I can do with fglrx [15:36] How can I find out the origins of my keyboard shortcuts? I have for example 0xa1 under the settings, but I have no idea which button this might be! (And I can't see many special buttons on my laptop.)

[15:37] wols_: I've tried it once or twice, and once it ended up with me having to reinstall my computer :;p [15:37] jrib: so if i want all users to have the same plugins as i do (for ease of use of FF), but i don't want some of their plugins in my account (for security like foxfilter) i can do sudo mv ~/.mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? [15:37] nagyv: Try 'xev' in a terminal in an X session. [15:37] xoqrps: just backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:37] jrib: or should it be *.*? [15:38] wols_: How do I backup and, restore to the backup? [15:38] wols_: I'm quite new to ubuntu, and linux [15:38] gvsa123: well plugins are things like flash, java, and a movie player. Is foxfilter an extension? [15:38] xoqrps: by copying the file to somewhere else and copying back if needed [15:38] wols_: Ok, but how do I import it later? [15:38] jrib: oh yeah... i believe so... then that would be a different case altogether? [15:38] hey [15:38] wols_: really, when I type in firefox apt://program_name browser answers with: firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because there's no a program associated with this protocol (apt) [15:39] as i said: by copying it back [15:39] jim288: can u try to comment out line 53? [15:39] my computer hangs when it tries "Setting up java-common (0.26ubuntu1) ...". Does anybody know what the problem could be? [15:39] wols_: Should I copy it via the terminal? Cause that I do not know how to do [15:39] phoenix__: there is no protocol apt://. which program would you want to use with it? [15:39] xoqrps: yes. man cp [15:39] gvsa123: yeah, it's probably best to just set that up by account [15:39] mrtimdog: I tried it already, but it just gives me decimal codes. Are these the same codes in hex? [15:39] Ok [15:39] hi [15:40] jrib: you mean install the extensions one by one? [15:40] hi [15:40] foobar:sry am an idiot, what should i do?? [15:40] can anyone help me - i've just installed ubuntu 7.10 freshly and now need to get my intel pro/wireless (211b) card working .. i hear this is ar estricted driver, is there an easy/painless way to get it workin in ubuntu? [15:40] wols_: i got firestarter to work by commenting out #Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn and adding Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,env_reset,env_keep+="DISPLAY HOME XAUTHORIZATION" [15:40] nagyv: It should give the hex too: eg. (keysym 0x6a, j) [15:41] wols_: cp --backupp[/etc/X11/xorg.conf] ? [15:41] wols: I just want use apturl , and it can be used typing in firfox address bar this-----> apt://(and here the program name) [15:41] mrtimdog: thx, I see it now! [15:41] wow thats awesome. cs 1.6 runs better through wine then windows 200 [15:41] lol [15:41] jrib: so extensions don't work like the plugins where you just move the file to the right folder? [15:42] gvsa123: well extensions are a little trickier. You can see that you have a default profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox/. That is where extensions end up, but I'm not sure it is a simple case of just copying something over. You can play with it I guess, but I don't know exactly how it works [15:42] jim288: well, you just open /etc/apt/sources.list, and comment out line 53, meaning you put this // in front of that line [15:42] wols: but firefox says there's no program associated [15:42] kk [15:42] phoenix__: it cannot since there is no program that understands this "apt://" protocol of yours. end of story [15:42] and firefox will say the same when your do stuffphoenixmadeupinhisbrain://blah [15:44] How do you change the opacity on your terminal window or the style? :;P [15:44] jrib: yeah... i checked the files of ~/.mozilla/firefox and there's one file with a little padlock icon.. so i guess permission problems might be encountered with simple moving of files and directories...

[15:48] Tracker sucks (at least the version that comes with 7.10), Beagle is a resource hungry whore, not to mention, slow as hell (nice GUI, though), and Strigi has no Gtk client. The only option, is to install Google Desktop Search for Linux, which isn't that great. It doesn't give relevant results and takes 2 hours to index what Tracker indexes in 10 minutes.

I've actived XDMCP on the Ubuntu machine. Then I went to the Xubuntu machine login screen and chose the remote login via XDMCP option.

[16:02] richo, printer has built in ethernet? when you add a printer, use IPP [16:03] I don't really know how to explain this problem but; My installation of linux is working fine for most parts except that some random parts of texts get dizzy/fuzzy/miscolored [16:03] astro76: NO! router got built in print server [16:03] richo, if it's on the network already ubuntu should auto-detect it [16:03] so its not the same [16:03] richo, ah [16:03] richo, still should be IPP [16:03] and it works superb from win ;) [16:03] I do get 2 warnings in my x.log; "Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)" and "Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1" [16:04] astro76: ok ill test some more [16:04] richo, scratch that, it would probably be what is called AppSocket/HP JetDirect, but you will need to look up info on your router [16:04] Is the new celly bk3 bluetooth dongle supported?
