[00:00] LiMaO, don't put me in trouble :) [00:00] bruenig: I guess so :) I thought those were the same thing... Whatever does :) [00:00] Pelo never thought of that [00:00] Ashfire908: are you using PPP as in dialup, or PPP as in broadband? [00:00] lwizardl: check your logs, maybe the hfs partition isnt clean. thats why it comes RO [00:00] kitofhawaii, it's a dialup connection via a cell phone in "high-speed" data packet mode [00:00] radio_gaga42: Ubuntu uses there own patches... So if you are using a vanilla kernel be wary that other stuff may not work.. Best bet is to get the source tree Ubuntu used and try to patch... [00:00] kitofhawaii, dialup [00:00] Pirate_Hunter, that's why they pay me the big bucks [00:00] adamonline45, killall X should do it [00:00] radio_gaga42: if the patch works the just recompile it... [00:00] AprilHare: i'm just curious. never thought there was this much different from aussie to american/british english :) [00:00] Sepheebear, what log? [00:01] bruenig: ty :) [00:01] kitofhawaii, gtg eat [00:01] lwizardl: /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log IIRC [00:01] LiMaO, closer to british english [00:01] Ashfire908: 17.8KB/sec's pretty fast for cell phone. that's 144kbps. i think most cell phone dialups top out at ~168kbps [00:01] Pelo: send me some plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [00:01] david_j: tried ubunto does not boot on my notebook, so i filed a bug on kernel.org, the guy from ibm hen sent a patch for me to try [00:01] hi [00:02] AprilHare: i speak british english. even though i don't keep the accent =P [00:02] radio_gaga42: Ugh joint #ugh and I'll try to explain... [00:02] LiMaO,that is, from american english [00:02] lwizardl: i think even dmesg might have something in it too [00:02] Pirate_Hunter, you cna do that now if you want, you just make a sperarte partition formated in ext3 , move your /home folder to it and add an extra line in fstab to mount it [00:02] david_j: thanks, will try [00:02] Hey guys === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home [00:02] kitofhawaii, i said ~17 KB/s. it's usally in the 16 KB/s range. if it gets to 17, it's like 17.0 or 17.1. [00:02] LiMaO, ic - not in britain? [00:02] AprilHare: btw, 'aussie' isn't considered to be a polite word, right? [00:02] dude [00:02] AprilHare: actually i'm brazilian, thus in brazil ;) [00:03] Pelo: no i meant the bucks but thanx for the info [00:03] LiMaO, aussie fine by me [00:03] Sepheebear, nothing I guess I could log into windows and see if macdrive reports it as damaged [00:03] I'm on a live cd, I can't burn a disk [00:03] kitofhawaii, ok gtg. [00:03] supergrub [00:03] Ashfire908: that's pretty typical. i think you're maxing out, if you want faster you have to go to EDGE or another high speed cell connection (ttyl have fun) [00:03] !sgd [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:03] if the Desktop was moved into the trash (don't ask me how my mother achieved this XDD), how can it be brought back to ~/? fo [00:03] LiMaO, who told you aussie is bad? [00:03] RainCT: move it back out of the trash? [00:03] I think kaffene will do the trick [00:03] T70K5: you can burn a CD under live cd...i did exactly this this morning [00:03] thanks [00:03] gordonjcp: it goes back there :S [00:03] I have a usb jump drive [00:03] T70K5, if you want youcan put supergrub on a usb drive, assuming you can boot from usb, super grub cd is less then 50 megs [00:03] RainCT: it's important to remember that both Desktop and .Trash are just directoris [00:04] is ubuntu base on windows? [00:04] yes I know [00:04] RainCT: you might need to do it from the command line [00:04] perlsyntax: no [00:04] its like 3mb [00:04] * bastid_raZor laughs [00:04] perlsyntax, no based on unix [00:04] yeah, supergrub is 3MB [00:04] perlsyntax, no it is not , ubuntu is a linux distro [00:04] ok [00:04] AprilHare: i don't remember who it was, but someone once told me it was a bad way to refer to australian people [00:04] lwizardl: yeah the only way i could fix an hfs partition was with the OS X version of fsck [00:04] i plan to get this for my mother for the hoildays. [00:04] and linux is a unix clone [00:04] gordonjcp: I also tried with mv... but if I try to place a symlink there it goes back to the trash [00:04] theremper: no, it's a Unix work-a-like [00:04] strange.. [00:04] perlsyntax: lol, its free you know [00:05] RainCT: weird [00:05] i know that [00:05] LiMaO, the natives don't mind it :) it might depend on how it's pronounced though - the way an american says it gives me the (whoops nearly 'swore' again) :D [00:05] Does anyone know how I can get the size, shape and X,Y coordinates of a window? [00:05] does dell support good with ubuntu? [00:05] perlsyntax, ubuntu is based on linux the same way windows is based on dos , it's a different operating system with it's own set of applications , and unlike windows it is FREE [00:05] ok ok. gordon your right [00:05] can someone guide me through this installation? [00:05] perlsyntax: dell supports linspire [00:05] Sepheebear, the only reason i need an hfs+ drive is for my 360 to playback wmv hd videos [00:05] T70K5: sure [00:05] putting this on a jump drive [00:05] Yaz: xwininfo [00:05] gordonjcp: Exactly... bsd is a unix clone, linux is a unix-like operating system [00:05] penguin42: thank you very much [00:05] dell sells ubuntu laptops [00:05] Sepheebear, stupid ms doesn't support ntfs on the 360 (their own product) [00:05] Perlsyntax, I don't advise pushing Linux onto an older family member. It's difficult to adapt to a compeltely new environment to begin with, let alone when you'vce been used to Windows for decades. [00:05] i lookon the web site they support ubuntu and freedos. [00:05] T70K5, just unpack the ,iso , and copy it to the usb drive [00:06] loke: why not? [00:06] oh ok [00:06] lwizardl: What filesystem is it using then? [00:06] lol [00:06] hold on [00:06] perlsyntax: actually..scratch that...dell supported it and then linspire told them not to use it anymore :) [00:06] lwizardl: a MS product uses hfs???? wow! [00:06] loke: there is no practical difference for most users [00:06] T70K5, you may need to use gparted to make your usb drive a boot flag [00:06] my dad is upset becuase of the new windows that out. [00:06] hard to find xp. [00:06] LiMaO, does everyone learn british english in brazil? [00:06] hmm [00:06] genii, for playing back files from USB devices the drive must be either fat32 or hfs+ [00:06] loke perlsyntax Kubuntu may be an easier transition from windows to *buntu [00:06] vista is horrendous... [00:06] imo [00:06] the new windows is why I switched [00:07] perlsyntax, what do you mean hard to find xp ? just dl the ubuntu live cd and show it to him [00:07] lwizardl: Weirdness [00:07] same [00:07] gordon, it's hard to get used to. Having to search for functional alternatives (like MSN, where no decent webcam support is offered). Something as simple as fonts could confuse and bother some. [00:07] i use ubuntu and look and feel like windows. [00:07] perlsyntax, www.ubuntu.com [00:07] my Mum has absolutely no trouble using Ubuntu at all [00:07] Yaz, Vista is the New Millenium Edition [00:07] loke: no, it's not [00:07] AprilHare: nah. not a common thing. i myself studied it for 9 years in a british school [00:07] lwizardl: exactly [00:07] it says I don't have permission to write to my usb drive [00:07] lwizardl: i didn't think anything could top ME, but I was wrong [00:07] sorry I'm a linux newbie [00:07] Yaz, microsoft windows vista is the operating system of choice for self flagellationists [00:07] loke: it's no harder to get used to than switching to a different make of car with the light switch on the other side [00:08] gordon, I disagree completely. It would be more like switching from an automatic to a standard. [00:08] T70K5: you really should be able to burn a CD [00:08] hello [00:08] Yaz, give it another 2-3 years and they will make something even worse [00:08] loke: rubbish [00:08] perlsyntax, the gui environnement of most computers today are pretty similar and familiar from one OS to another, differences are more under the hood then upfront [00:08] I would do that, but I can't eject the cd while I'm running an OS off of it [00:08] I have a question, I have ubuntu on my pc, connected through a crossover cable to this laptop which runs windows, I've enabled internet connection sharing on the windows machine [00:08] gordon: rubbish isn't a defense, you're avoiding what I said. What don't you agree with? [00:08] T70K5: burn the CD, reboot, eject CD while it's booting, insert supergrub cd [00:08] Evening all [00:08] i was under the impression from one of our last partner meetings microsoft's offering fulfillments for new vista owners to downgrade to xp now [00:08] how do I configure the linux machine to access websites [00:08] T70K5, don't burn, unpack , right click , extract here [00:08] loke: my Mum's using Ubuntu with no problems at all, and she's so incredibly non-technical that I need to drive over to her house to reset breaker switches if they trip [00:09] I did that already [00:09] Qjimbo, what do you mean browsing website ? [00:09] as in, access the web [00:09] with dns and all that jazz [00:09] loke: it's not any harder to use for almost everything the average "older user" would do [00:09] gordon: everyone's different, some people will have an easier time of it. Some, also, do more in-depth work requiring them to search for alternatives. [00:09] gordonjcp: haha! Good stuff 8) [00:09] got ubuntu installed on my new mac mini [00:09] T70K5, jsut copy the files from the unpacked folder to the usb drive [00:09] * daxroc jumps with joy [00:09] gordonjcp:: atleast if ubuntu has issues you won't have to drive over.. just ssh in [00:09] right now I can't even ping this laptop [00:09] I can't do that Pelo, it says I don't have permission [00:10] adamonline45: I kid you not, I've driven a 500-mile round trip to reset a breaker about half a dozen times now [00:10] how can I do it via terminal su? [00:10] gordonjcp: omfg [00:10] Yaz: my Mum is *very* non-technical [00:10] T70K5, open the terminal , sudo tar /Desktop/filename ( remember linux is case sensitive) [00:10] gordonjcp: I guess so! :) [00:10] T70K5, which part don't you have permission for ? [00:11] r/w the usb drive [00:11] Faceoff :) [00:11] loke: admittedly she wasn't particularly used to Windows to begin with [00:11] yes on linux desktop & Desktop are two completely different folders [00:11] gordon: my parents aren't very computer savvy either, and they couldn't get used to it. Like I said, it's different for everyone. [00:11] loke: what's so hard to get used to? === gsr is now known as Layne4 [00:11] gordon: my parents have been using Windows at home and at work as long as they've been using computers, so it's a big shock. [00:11] how can I copy the folder and paste it onto the usb drive as root in terminal? [00:11] what would be an alternative video player to totem? [00:11] T70K5, sudo cp /Desktop/foldername/* /mountpoint/usbdrive ( probabaly /media/"labelonthedesktp" [00:11] loke: hm [00:11] ok i'm going to reboot into xp and test this hfs+ drive [00:11] thanks for the help guys/gals [00:11] ok, h/o [00:11] T70K5, what format is the usb drive ? [00:12] not sure [00:12] ntfs I think [00:12] gordon: codecs not installed by default, lack of a messenger with webcam, cameras not automatically downloading images, etc. [00:12] loke: a big shock is buying a laptop with 1GB ram, booting up vista for the first time and seeing it's using 75% of physical memory :) [00:12] gordon: it's mostly the little things. [00:12] hi, i need help!! im begginer in Linux. I looking for a APT to install GCC, may any one help me? [00:12] need frontend for rar dvd movies. "package manager" cant see *.rar [00:12] loke: then you're using broken or obsolete things [00:12] anyone have an idea why i can connect to internet trough my wireless router, but not see my router or LAN? [00:12] loke: if you plug a camera in, it just plain works [00:13] T70K5, ok ntfs will be a problem ( a solvable one) try the command first , if it is not enough we'll tell you how to remount the ntfs driver for wriite access [00:13] Does anyone know how would you have Linux execute a script on bootup? [00:13] UserUbuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:13] richo: you need to install the unrar package so fileroller can unrar them [00:13] gordon: Up until recently, my camera wouldn't funciton in Ubuntu. [00:13] ok, i will try. [00:13] gordon: I have to mess with some modules and configs, not sure what actually got it to work [00:13] loke: if you try to do that with Windows, you've got to go and find a driver, update all the other drivers, install it, reboot a few times, run a virus scan, maybe find a few more updates for the driver, and then eventually it might let you get your pictures [00:13] or does anyone know if there is a way to change consoles in init 1? [00:13] GIMP22: depends on the script. what're you trying to execute? [00:13] Sepheebear: hmm ok so search for rar and fileroller in synaptic then? [00:13] loke: Windows is just too hard for normal users [00:13] GIMP22, put a launcher for it in ~/.config/autostart [00:14] gordon: As a beginner, yes, but not for someone who's used to it. [00:14] gordon: my parents know how to run a virus scanner, all of that, out of habbit. [00:14] gordonjcp, windows is just to hard "on" normal users [00:14] Can someone help me? I have just installed Unbunto, new to linux, trying to install nvidia drivers, and I get an error message I must be logged on as root. How do I do this? [00:14] richo: search "unrar" or in terminal "sudo aptitude install unrar" [00:14] using the sh command [00:14] Joachim_Joe, install with sudo if you in command line [00:14] Joachim_Joe, run the command with sudo , ei type sudo command in the terminal [00:14] sudo sh *.run [00:14] joachim: sudo su [00:14] loke: my Mum doesn't know how to run a virus scanner, and shouldn't have to know [00:15] Sepheebear: yeah but how to make fileroller use it ? [00:15] i'm downloading, thank you! [00:15] Schalk? [00:15] kitohawaii, I want to run some benchmarks in init 1 for a Xen VMM (so I don't want to have extra stuff running in init 3 +) so I want the VM to boot up execute the benchmark. But under init1 I can't ssh into the VM [00:15] Pelo, thanks [00:15] is there a virus checker for ubuntu? [00:15] cause there should be at this rate. [00:15] Pelo [00:15] richo: once installed file-roller "automagically" uses it [00:15] loke: with Ubuntu it's simple, I told her "If you see a little orange and white flower thing in the top right, click it and put your password in, then go make a cup of tea" [00:15] soldats, pelo, thanks.. I am in the terminal. I just type sudo [00:15] just reopen fileroller [00:15] AprilHare: why? [00:15] AprilHare, several, clamav is a native one but you can also get a linux version of avast from their seite [00:15] Sepheebear: wow impressive [00:15] Joachim_Joe, yes, i hope you figure it out [00:16] gordon: I understand what you're saying. I'm not syaing Windows is easier for everyone, I'm saying it's easier to CONTINUE with it once you've been learning it for years. [00:16] AprilHare: it's useful if you're scanning mail for Windows clients [00:16] T70K5, hmm yessss ? [00:16] loke: it depends [00:16] true [00:16] gordon: I don't think it depends at all. [00:16] Pelo, I'm also trying to do this under root. Would I just create an autostart directory in /root/.config and place my script in there? [00:16] loke: as soon as you switch Windows versions, the game changes completely [00:16] I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive [00:16] however its only a matter of time i suppose before linux gets viruses [00:16] gordon: the basics are there. [00:16] AprilHare: nope [00:16] Windows is nothing but a pain in the ass. [00:16] gordon: the foundation is consistent in its inconsistencies. ;) [00:16] soldats, ok it is telling me the different ways of using sudo [00:16] can I somehow free ram memory manually? [00:16] windows is great for gaming [00:16] shared network connections certainly are [00:16] GIMP22: xen...i dunno i'm sorry, i haven't used it yet, so i'll have to defer to someone else (sticks to vmware in general) [00:16] loke: the basics are just the same as the basics of any GUI desktop though [00:16] I have the nvida file in the home directory [00:16] gordon: Windows is easy when used out of habit, but to expect them to re-learn everything they know is asking a lot. [00:17] GIMP22, I don,t know if there is such a folder, but you can probabaly add the script or a link to it in the init.d stuff , but I'm not leet enough to talk you throught that [00:17] loke: but if they change to a different version of Windows, they'll have to re-learn everything from scratch anyway [00:17] windows is the best gaming platform out there...all the consoles dont even come close [00:17] Yaz: yea because they bought all companies to produce their games in directx [00:17] man.. [00:17] T70K5, you called earlier ? [00:17] Joachim_Joe, this may hepl you it says dapper but all the commands should work [00:17] yes [00:17] adac2: yeah [00:17] Joachim_Joe, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Graphics_Driver_.28NVIDIA.29 [00:17] kitofhawaii, thanks I'm not using VMWare because oprofile can't do much in terms of VMWare (I have to switch between Dom0 and DomU but can't do this in init1 since it doesn't support multiple consoles) [00:17] T70K5, well ? what is up ? [00:17] thanks Pelo [00:17] gordon: it's not an immediate shock, it's a progressing thing that comes with time. You're still using the same apps, just newer versions. [00:17] (12:16:22 AM) T70K5: I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive [00:17] (12:16:22 AM) T70K5: I need that command again... Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES is the folder and /media/disk-3 is the jump drive [00:17] adac2: and i love gaming, and i think consoles stink [00:17] Yaz, that is because the games are MADE for Windows. [00:17] sorry [00:17] Pelo, any chance you know the location of init.d? [00:18] i know...which is why it's great for gaming [00:18] :D [00:18] T70K5, hold on [00:18] AprilHare: there aren't any viruses for Linux, and it's unlikely that there will ever be a practical virus with the same impact as *any* Windows virus [00:18] ok, thanks [00:18] hey! is there anyone more then me who has a broken firebug? [00:18] GIMP22, init.d is in /etc [00:18] Sepheebear: Archive type not supported. NOT supprises... synaptik and unrar free version installed. [00:18] thanks [00:18] Yaz: yea smae here [00:18] *same [00:18] Sepheebear: *synaptic [00:18] Can anyone help with sound drivers in Gutsy? [00:18] soldats, when you message me I keep seeing a yellow border around my name, do you send your message just to me or what does that mean? Thanks, looking into it [00:18] T70K5, sudo cp /Desktop/super_grub_disk_0.9763.iso_FILES/* /media/disk-3 [00:19] T70K5, that should be it , assuming you can write to the drive [00:19] Joachim_Joe: gratuitous highlight [00:19] gordon: there are viruses for linux, just not any that can spread on their own. You'd have to physically initiate it with super user priveleges. But, in essence, it is a virus. [00:19] GIMP22: well i'm with you on that. we're looking at xen since citrix purchased it (we're a citrix partner so we have to ultimately know it inside and out) [00:19] loke: not really [00:19] Joachim_Joe, it means your name or the text will be highlighted everyone else can see it as well bu it makes it easier for you to spot [00:19] gratuitous highlight [00:19] richo: unrar is in the Universe repository. if youre in synaptic, you'll have to go into preferences and enable universe [00:19] loke: it doesn't exhibit viral behaviour [00:19] I installed Ubuntu 7.10, it has yet to become usable. After startup (the ubuntu logo with the progress bar) where there should be a login screen, there is a blank screen. [00:19] gordon: and by that you mean...? === orangePnut[] is now known as orangePnut [00:19] Joachim_Joe: if I start a sentence with your name, it will highlight in your IRC window [00:19] ping [00:19] oh so when you type my name it will highlight it [00:20] AlReece45, waht is your video card ? [00:20] yes [00:20] loke: well, it can't spread by itself, or alter other files to help itself spread [00:20] Sepheebear: worked through terminal. thx [00:20] kitohawaii, good luck I'm using an older version and haven't done much more than the benchmarking stuff. Seems neat but doesn't have half the bells and whistles VMWare does. [00:20] :) how nice, I did not see this IRC before and used it alot before [00:20] loke: you could potentially do some sort of scripting worm [00:20] if you were working for yourself and asked in here, would you use 'we' or 'I'? [00:20] so again: is there a program that can free ram memory? [00:20] Joachim_Joe, type a few characteers of a name and press "tab" key and it should auto complete [00:20] gordonjcp, never say never wrt virii [00:20] Pelo: nvidia geforce go 6100 afaik [00:20] viri aren't as verile on linux cause verbose verification validates various administrative commands [00:20] Sepheebear: worked through terminal. thx. Dont know why synaptic version of it didnt do the trick. i know about multiverse etc. [00:20] cp: cannot stat `super_grub_disk_0.9673.iso/*': Not a directory [00:20] kbrooks, we if you are royalty [00:20] soldats: IS THIS A NEW irc feature or just of this server? [00:20] soldats: nice :) [00:20] Pelo, are what? [00:21] Joachim_Joe: always been there [00:21] Joachim_Joe, its donr this for a long time [00:21] gordon: with super user permissions, you cold easily write a script that functions such as a virus. [00:21] GIMP22: true that...:) $1000 for an enterprise xen license vs $5750 for an ESX enterprise license does make xen look very appealing :-D [00:21] AprilHare: it's basically too difficult - the reason Windows has so many viruses are purely because of design decisions in Windows [00:21] could*, rather. [00:21] loke: that's what I just said ;-) [00:21] loke: you *could* [00:21] kitohawaii, hopefully VMWare will still win out. I have VMWare shares :-D [00:21] Sepheebear: xarchiver installed also now. works there also. [00:21] richo: havent used synaptic in a while but IIRC you could just search unrar by package name [00:21] cp: cannot create regular file `/media/disk-3/super_grub_disk_0.9673.iso': Read-only file system [00:21] loke: one vector would be a malicious Makefile [00:21] AlReece45, reboot your comp, from the boot menu select the recovery mode then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg when asked select the vesa driver , for everthing else, if y ou donT, know for sure use the provided defaults or donT' put anything in [00:21] kbrooks, never mind [00:21] !modem [00:21] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [00:21] Sepheebear: yeah and i found but that one didnt do the trick strangley. [00:21] gordon: so, as I said, in essence, there are viruses for linux, they just don't work as intended. [00:22] !nvidia [00:22] man this sucks [00:22] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:22] GIMP22: lol vmware's not going anywhere...definitely not. next shareholder meeting tell them to fix their darn flexnet licensing so it works right :-D [00:22] Sepheebear: but through terminal it worked?! also xarchiver looks ok so now i have 2 options to do it ;) thx alot [00:22] soldats: :) I see. BTW, followed the manual, getting the message: nvidia-glx is not available or is missing from the package. [00:22] T70K5,do you have some free space on this comp ? [00:22] soldats: should it be included with Ubunto? [00:22] kitohawaii, I'll be sure to do that :-) [00:22] yes, quite a bit [00:22] gordonjcp, imho it may be due to the ubiquity of windows that so many virii exist for it [00:22] Joachim_Joe, i think it should try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [00:23] What multimedia pc-tv cards work with Ubuntu? [00:23] soldats: one more question: I have an intel64 pc, but am using the 32-bit version, would it be better to install the 64bit version? [00:23] AprilHare: nope [00:23] richo: that is strange but i use aptitude to manage and for some reason installs are much simpler [00:23] #Ubuntu-pl [00:23] I want to watch tv and edit video on my Ubuntu PC [00:23] Joachim_Joe, you "should" be fine but the 64 bit may be better choice [00:23] come on [00:23] AprilHare: that helps, but the fact that Windows is designed to basically be wide open to anyone who wants to exploit it is the major thing [00:23] someone must've used a crossover cable with ubuntu [00:23] heeeelp =( [00:23] Sepheebear: ok ill try to remember that. thx again. saved ALOT of time ;) [00:23] T70K5, ok resize your / partiton, make a new ext3 partiton from the freespace, copy your /home folder to it , the reinstall ubuntu , when you get to the partiton selection section , use manual and tell the installer where to find your /home folder [00:23] hello all, i'm having a problem. I install dnsmasq and modified the config so what when i go to "intranet" it will take to a local web server, when i do dig intranet it comes up right, but then when i try to do it in firefox it does a google search for it, how can i turn that off so it sends the dns request and does it like a website [00:23] AprilHare: no version of Windows can be adequately secured [00:23] Qjimbo: what about a crossover cable? [00:23] Having trouble playing DVDs. Totem is giving "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?" GXine gives " Error reading NAV packet." Anyone else seen these errors? [00:23] gordonjcp, that makes it easier :) [00:24] Qjimbo: plug the crossover cable into each PC [00:24] I have done [00:24] soldats: that means reinstalling everything right? [00:24] Qjimbo: you set an ip on both sides? [00:24] that should be you, then [00:24] soldats: package nvidia has no installation candiate. [00:24] hola! [00:24] what settins do I do on the linux box? [00:24] akincer, half the known universe may have - you need libdvdcss to play most dvds [00:24] * Pelo will only answer questions he has knowledge about , which isn'T much [00:24] I just tried reinstalling it [00:24] kitofhawaii: it should set a 169.x.x.x IP addy by default [00:24] the windows one has configured itself to 192.168.0.1 [00:24] !nvidia | Joachim_Joe [00:24] Joachim_Joe: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:24] but I still can't boot it [00:24] Qjimbo: ok [00:24] AprilHare: I've _got_ libdvdcss installed [00:24] Qjimbo: set the Linux one to a free address in the same range as the Windows one [00:24] T70K5, are you installing ubjntu on the same hdd as your vista install or on an other one ? [00:25] right [00:25] it's part of restricted extras which I have [00:25] same hdd [00:25] hmmmmmm [00:25] akincer, can't help you then :) [00:25] Qjimbo: qjimbo: 192.168.0.1...that's a bit odd. are you running internet sharing on the xp box? [00:25] T70K5, hmmm, cna you still boot vista ? [00:25] no [00:25] Mplayer will play this disk, but the audio and video are WAY out of sync [00:25] soldats: huh did I spell nvidia wrong? [00:25] ubotu: thanks [00:25] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [00:25] maybe [00:25] Qjimbo: if you're running internet sharing, just plug the crossover cable in then "sudo dhclient " it'll pick up an address from the xp box [00:25] yeah I'm talking to you from an XP laptop that I'm borrowing [00:25] can you get to another computer and ask a freind to dl and burn the supergrub iso ? [00:25] ubotu, soldats: info coming up [00:25] oh cool [00:25] not right now, no [00:25] hey everyone. my dsl connection seems to be dropping randomly about 5-6 times a day which is starting to get pretty annoying. does anyone know of any way to keep this from dropping? [00:26] Quick question. I have two sata drives that were previously formatted ntfs in a fake raid0. I have disabled them as raid in the bios and want to set them up as software raid in linux. Installed ubuntu on a 3rd drive. When I run fdisk -l I don't see the two other drives. Any other command available to find them? [00:26] Joachim_Joe, you dont need to respond to ubotu because it is a bot [00:26] ubotu: you are a bot?

[00:26] hehehe [00:26] oo here we go [00:26] yes, sudo fdisk l [00:26] T70K5, I'M out of ideas atm, you might want to give the forum a saerch , I know there were some issues dualbooting vista when it came out , maybe some of the answers about that might help with your current situation [00:27] Qjimbo: "ifconfig" will give you a list of interfaces [00:27] it's doing something [00:27] DHCPDISCOVER [00:27] It's ok Pelo, I greatly appreciate the help [00:27] hmm no DHCPOFFERS recieved [00:27] very odd [00:27] maybe they aren't showing up because they are formatted ntfs? [00:27] later foks , I need a break to recover from my most recent failure [00:27] Qjimbo: you probably aren't running a DHCP server on your Windows box [00:28] Qjimbo: you getting a light on your ubuntu's network card? [00:28] yeah the light is on [00:28] Qjimbo: so the lack of DHCP isn't surprising me [00:28] is anyone able to help me share my internet? [00:28] T70K5: I was afk, were you not able to do it? [00:28] hmm [00:28] no [00:28] I thought with crossover dhcp wasn't needed [00:28] gordonjcp: it sound like he is...from the config it sounds like he's running internet sharing on xp (which runs dhcp) [00:28] T70K5: where are you in the process? [00:28] can you help via Yahoo? === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes [00:28] Qjimbo: crossover doesn't make a difference === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [00:28] right [00:28] techno-wil that doesn't mattor they must be unplugged or something [00:28] hi there [00:28] the same place I started [00:28] Qjimbo: oh...yah, you have to run dhcp... [00:28] Qjimbo: all that does is remove the need for a hub [00:28] i want my xubuntu computer to share it's ath0 interface, via eth0 to my windows computer [00:28] AprilHare: OMG. I fixed it. Wanna know what it was? [00:28] I have google talk T70K5 [00:28] are there any gui tools i can do this with? [00:28] * T70K5 @yahoo [00:29] yeah but I thought XP internet connection sharing had dhcp [00:29] hmm [00:29] question: i am unsure what graphics card i have in my pc. i have a nvidia motherboard. i typed 'lspci | grep -i nvidia' and got lots of information back including '03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3)' - does this mean i have a geforce4 card and can i install specific graphics drivers for it? [00:29] Qjimbo: are you trying to share your internet connection between your Windows PC and your Ubuntu PC? [00:29] akincer, yes. yes i do. :) [00:29] echosystm: firestarter [00:29] * akincer bangs his head on his desk [00:29] gordon: yes [00:29] thanks soothsayer [00:29] Qjimbo: it should...if you selected the defaults for setting up internet sharing, it should [00:29] AprilHare: Fingerprints on the disk [00:29] hmm [00:29] akincer: yes, and yes [00:29] soldats: the nvidia site says IJ ust need to type: sh nvidia-linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run [00:29] AprilHare: yes, and yes [00:29] Qjimbo: Samba the solution? [00:29] akincer: mistab, sorry [00:29] np [00:29] Joachim_Joe: don't do that [00:29] Joachim_Joe, hmm that should work then id try it if i was you [00:29] !nvidia > Joachim_Joe [00:29] ah!

[00:31] Joachim_Joe: Ubuntu has a fairly specific way of installing the binary drivers [00:31] gordonjcp the bot spoke not [00:31] is there a way to turn an existing install into an OEM? i did not know it existed until it was too late :( [00:31] hi all maybe somebody can help me with the setting for a external monitor with twinview [00:31] hmm still no joy [00:31] Hi.

[00:32] *joke [00:32] Pelo: I tried what you said, setting the xorg driver to vesa, and that didn't solve the problem. However, if I start it manually in rescue mode, /etc/init.d/gdm start it starts up (it does it with the nv driver as well). The problem seems to only occur when starting gdm automatically (or at least not manually in rescue mode) [00:32] enigmata: some poor sod is going to google for that now [00:32] enigmata: I hope you're pleased with yourslef [00:33] which twinview setting does the main and secondary screen?

I try to change it to nvidia, but it keeps going back to vesa. [00:36] grrrr "The software source for the package nvidia-glx is not enabled." [00:36] Fezzler: why? [00:36] this really sucks [00:36] gordonjcp: my laptop has two graphic cards, I think it's using the intel and that's why I can't enable the nvidia [00:36] Joachim_Joe: that would do it [00:36] what exactly *is* the source?

No issues that I've found. [00:49] great loke.. then i will go ahead and buy it [00:49] What line would I need to add to fstab to mount an ext3 partition at /dev/sdb1 to /home/josh/data ? [00:49] my ubuntu 7.10 works well with my ATI x1400 [00:50] sam_: I hope you enjoy it. However, if you have use for it, and can afford it, I suggest the 8800GT. It has the best performance to price ratio. [00:50] Ashfire908, thanks that helped [00:50] oh [00:50] re [00:50] Joachim_Joe: in the tab "Ubuntu Software", what checkmark boxeds are checked under "Downloadable form the Internet"? [00:50] sam_: most people have best luck with atheros chipset wifi cards, since there's good support (madwifi) [00:50] i'm surprised what a difference this nvidia driver has made [00:50] i didnt use 8600 GT i am just taking expert advice [00:50] Ashfire908... and during install some files were nto installed, it made a log file, where would I find this? [00:50] Joachim_Joe, oh you already enabled it? [00:50] armagetron advanced still looks crap though [00:50] not sure why [00:50] atheros wifi? [00:50] ok [00:51] Joachim_Joe, when did you get that message? [00:51] do u know which model of aethros ? [00:51] the room background isn't present [00:51] so that I can be precise when i order [00:51] Shoudln't new HDD's be listed in /media automatically? [00:51] Okay: After fresh (or near fresh) install, when gdm is supposed to start, the computer sortof blanks out. The screen is black, I have already tried changing the driver from nv to vesa, but that did not solve the problem. In recovery mode, I am able to start gdm manually `/etc/init.d/gdm start` and it comes up correctly for both drivers, it only seems to not work when starting up normally. [00:51] Joachim_Joe, one sec. i need to restart compiz i think. [00:51] Ashfire908, I can't rembember.. something about software updates. I think it's because my notebook was not connected to the Internet. [00:51] Ashfire908, ok [00:52] bbl [00:52] sam_: atheros is a chipset...they only make the chip. manufacturers put them in the cards [00:52] Hi, I installed kde through synaptic. Where is the button I press to switch from gnome to kde pls? [00:52] sam_: You'll want to look at any wireless cards and verify that they have the atheros chipset. [00:52] Logout, choose 'KDE' on the login window, then login. [00:52] RootyRootRootWoo: at the login screen you change your "session" to kde [00:52] thanks both / logging out [00:53] loke .. u r right [00:53] sam_: kitofhawa is the one who is right, I'm just re-inforcing his/her point. =] [00:53] when i bought this dell inspiron 6400 in the beginning of this year i didnt look much as it was necessary for my education i had to buy urgently but now i am just taking time before i can fix [00:54] sam_: Patiently researching compatible hardware is a good idea. [00:54] Shoudln't new HDD's be listed in /media automatically? [00:54] yes [00:54] especially if it has to work with linux [00:54] research is important [00:54] Joachim_Joe, then that means whatever that was installing didn't because it couldn't download the package. there should be no issue, as it was in the downloading phase and shouldn't of done anything wrong. [00:54] that is how i came across sabayon also [00:54] reallyjoel, they need to be mounted in order to see them in /media [00:55] sam_: http://www.atheros.com/news/Retail.html check out the cards there but confirm the one you get has an atheros chipset (check revision etc) before you get it [00:55] yes let me check it [00:56] soldats, how do i mount? [00:56] which one are u using kito? [00:56] reallyjoel, right click on drive and choose mount [00:56] Need help: I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? [00:56] drive..? it's the drive I dont have.. [00:57] I want to clean install Ubuntu but I don't want to kill my home directory (I forgot to put it on another partition). [00:57] reallyjoel, if you want them to auto mount everytime you need to add them to /etc/fstab [00:57] Anyway, is anyone from the Boston area? [00:57] How can I clean install without killing mah home directory [00:57] --my [00:57] ok,I have a Gateway 832GM, xp completely crashed and it didnt come with a disk, so im trying Ubuntu..but im getting hardware erros..i cant read them because they go too fast..i read up and everything i have read seemed like my computer would work fine.. [00:57] Ashfire908: hope so, I could not really check the error messages at that time. [00:57] sam_: me? cisco :) but that's because i use it for work. (it's a bit pricy) [00:57] Randomist: You'll have to create a backup, as installing ubuntu requires you to format the main partition, which includes the /home directory. [00:57] circaen: shift-page-up ? [00:58] lol kito.... [00:58] i am using dell laptop [00:58] Ashfire908: also thank you for your help :) One final question. Is it possible to install use KDE with Ubunto and what are some good sites to start learning about Linux in general? [00:58] pgdx, someone else told me to use caps lock, but ill go try Shift [00:58] and i am planning to buy dell inspiron 1521 [00:58] sam_: have you checked to see if dell offers minipci cards for your laptop? [00:58] yes [00:58] it offers minipci cards [00:58] Joachim_Joe: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:58] Joachim_Joe: check out kubuntu [00:58] the one i have now is dell 1390 mini [00:59] it is not compatible with ubuntu [00:59] so i get disconnected frequently [00:59] help, i need install gcc in ubunto, i tried "sudo apt-get install build-essential", but continues "gcc: no input files" [00:59] does anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on the new lenovo thinkpad x61/x61s? [00:59] and it doesnt connect to all access points that easily [00:59] unless the signal strength is 80 or more it doesnt connect [00:59] sam_: minipci is relatively "universal" so you should be able to find an atheros minipci card that dell supports [00:59] yes [01:00] i will ask them ...if they have one .. [01:00] onats, are you having an specific problems [01:00] UserUbuntu: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2 [01:00] sam_: and you won't have some pc card with a flimsy antenna hanging out the side of your laptop :) [01:00] thanks i will try it; [01:00] infinitycircuit, no, but am planning to buy these, if i dont get any information re. problems.. lenovo's on sale [01:00] i know [01:00] but still [01:00] I'll repeat my question in case someone missed it: I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? [01:00] one of these that is.. [01:00] hi everybody. Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the download speed when downloading updates in update manager on gutsy? [01:00] it is so hard for me to connect to any access point [01:00] onats, thinkpads have excellent support for linux. you should have no problems [01:01] sam_: if you do get a pc card...i recommend spending the extra $5 for card insurance, so when you bust the antenna, wherever you get it will replace it for free [01:01] onats, but you should think about which network card you install [01:01] impossible find gcc-4.2 [01:01] pgdx, it works until it gets to the end of the list of errors..is there a way i can pause it from going so fast? [01:01] great...kito..i will remember that... [01:01] Yaz, is Kubuntu a proper release? [01:01] onats, atheros works well but the support for the newer intel chipsets improves all the time [01:01] Q: Would it be possible at all to make my Epson-pinter (scanner-fax) CX5800F work under Gutsy? Right now, x-sane doesn't recognize it neither cupsys. Thank [01:01] I just would like KDE [01:01] sam_: compusa offers it :) [01:01] hahahhaa [01:01] circaen: try this: less /var/log/messages [01:01] UserUbuntu: You might have an older version. Try sudo apt-cache search gcc|grep gcc [01:01] circaen: or: dmesg | tail [01:01] ehm, no: dmesg | less [01:01] where do i put that? [01:02] infinitycircuit, but the support for the intel chips come from? the community? [01:02] Ashfire908, what was that command againß [01:02] write it after you log in [01:02] UserUbuntu: Look for the last one, it should be something like...gcc-4.2, or gcc-3.4, or similar. [01:02] what other linux distributions do u use apart from ubuntu? [01:02] kito.. [01:02] oko [01:02] dammit.. how can i order this without windows [01:02] Joachim_Joe, sorry [01:02] sam_: centos, opensuse [01:02] ok [01:02] jeez... [01:02] is anyone else getting bounced? [01:02] how do i upgrade my feisty to gutsy? [01:02] Ashfire908: Could not open file, open 13 permission denied. [01:02] ls [01:02] CppIsWeird: apt-get dist-upgrade [01:02] i have installed open susie in virtual box [01:03] hi do you know how to change the color of the text in the terminal to white? [01:03] it seems like xhat-gnome just disappears when i get dc'ed [01:03] but i couldnt get desktop effects work [01:03] pgdx,where do i put that? [01:03] But preferably with the gui package manager [01:03] sam_: Open susie? :D [01:03] Joachim_Joe, KDE on ubuntu is kubuntu. [01:03] yeah? [01:03] sam_: I'm pretty sure you'd have to pay for that [01:03] how many plug-ins are needed to use video players on ubuntu? [01:03] hey guys, I am trying to set up some wpa_encryption, and I am having trouble getting it to work with Intel wireless card [01:03] infinitycircuit, is the 3945ABG good/ok already? [01:03] !kde > Joachim_Joe [01:03] circaen: after you log in, in a terminal [01:03] i installed free version [01:03] !kde > Ashfire908 [01:03] circaen: you have logged in, right? [01:03] which ever is available on their website [01:03] sam_: Sorry, bad joke. It's "Open Suse" [01:03] anyone have any ideas of what I should do [01:03] !kde [01:03] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [01:03] hahaha [01:03] :D [01:03] sam_: it's a pain...opensuse doesn't have as good package handling so anything outside of yast is hit or miss [01:03] Joachim_Joe, i really don't know any good linux sites :( [01:04] ok thank god... i used it as virtual machine [01:04] I cant log in, it gets to the loading screen and stops on three bars, i have tried Ubuntu and freespire [01:04] linux.org :) tldp.org are good.. [01:04] i am happy with ubuntu 7.10 [01:04] sam_: I personally can't stand yum or yast...or whatever the others use. I stick to debian based distributions. [01:04] circaen: try pressing alt-f2 [01:04] no major issues [01:04] Ashfire908, thanks :) could not find package kubunto desktop.. download it first? Okay about the Linux sites [01:04] Joachim_Joe, you have synaptic, apt-get, or aptitude running somewhere. turn it off before you do try whatever you did again. [01:04] :d yum or yast yes...u r right they are very painful compared to what i saw in ubuntu [01:04] it is so easy here [01:04] Joachim_Joe, i really don't know any good linux sites :( [01:04] Joach: It's ubuntu, not ubuntu. sudo apt-cache search kubuntu-desktop [01:04] no wonder it is famous [01:04] and widely used [01:04] Joachim_Joe: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. It's written with u's, no o's [01:04] loke: I agree. Until trying Debian I never realized what it was that I didn't like about other distros/linux === Jean_ is now known as jcoiron [01:04] I have a couple annoyances I was hoping to get help with, first all new windows open as minimized but are the whole screen like a maximized window, any way to fix that? [01:05] loke: packages! [01:05] Joachim_Joe, it's kubuntu-desktop [01:05] even the commands make so much sense....i am able to understand them...here [01:05] Yaz: YES!!! RPM's are a pain, but for that, we have alien! [01:05] Ashfire908, lol ok [01:05] hahaahh :d who is the alien? [01:05] AShfire908: silyl me, what's that about snypatic? [01:05] loke: agreed 100% [01:05] Ashfire908, is there a stask manager? lol [01:05] does anyone know how to change the color of the text in the terminal please :(? [01:05] god ...yum was horrible when i used fedora 8 .. [01:06] sam_: Alien is another "package" to handle rpm's (native for fedora, whereas we have .deb). [01:06] loke: lol...alien. alien kicked my puppy a few times :) aka if it works great, when it doesn't *ouch* [01:06] hello everyone, Will Hardy Heron still run good on 256MB RAM systems? Anyone use it yet or have any info? [01:06] tyronepolleri: yes [01:06] tyronepolleri: gnome terminal? [01:06] AShfire908, graphic card is working... :) that's the first major thing in Ubunto .. working now, with effects [01:06] yeah ....fedora 8 [01:06] tyronepolleri: man console_codes [01:06] god no...people will hate linux if they use it [01:06] Joachim_Joe, system administration system manager [01:06] tyronepolleri: edit currentprofile [01:06] Yaz, yes [01:06] tyronepolleri: Right click in the terminal, click "Edit Current Profile". Click the colors tab and go from there. [01:06] tarzeau, tell me please [01:06] ? [01:06] I'll repeat my question in case someone missed it: I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? [01:06] tyronepolleri: right click in the terminal window and select 'Edit current profile' [01:07] loke, the color tab changes the background not the text [01:07] tyronepolleri: then select the color tab [01:07] hi [01:07] tyronepolleri: above the background color selector is the text color selector [01:07] Yaz, is that for the text or only for the background [01:07] i have a question [01:07] tyronepolleri: There's a "Text Color" option. It's oner of the first. [01:07] Joachim_Joe, Synaptic is the Package Manager [01:07] hi wisa [01:07] hello to all [01:07] goodness, my cpu is so low as it's never is with windows [01:07] 1% [01:07] i have a question in regards to my wireless connection.... [01:07] I got it thanks everyone [01:08] :) [01:08] bmt2: fire at will [01:08] tyronepolleri: No problem! [01:08] loke: a little late, there :p [01:08] when i am at my brothers house, and he has a wireless network....i can not see his connection [01:08] please...who can tell me where i find the german ubuntu chat called irc.ubuntu24.de ? [01:08] I have a couple annoyances I was hoping to get help with, first all new windows open as minimized but are the whole screen like a maximized window, any way to fix that? [01:08] bmt2: but elsewhere? [01:08] Joachim_Joe, that error is because either apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic is running and you then tryed to run one of those programs. [01:08] how do i "show" possible wireless connections [01:08] Joachim_Joe, only one can be running at a time [01:09] bmt2: well, by clicking the network icon up to the right [01:09] haha my screens wobble when I maximize minimize [01:09] i do that, it does not show me a listing of possible wireless connections [01:09] bmt2: or writing iwlist scan eth1 or wlan0 or something in termnal [01:09] Joachim_Joe: That's compiz. Enjoy it! [01:09] Ok, I am in that package manager, Ashfire908, do I enable it? [01:09] it just shows me "connection properties" [01:09] loke: lol [01:09] for installing wireless ----ndiswrapper steps in ubuntu forum is that enough? [01:10] pgdx: just type my wireless interface in a terminal ? [01:10] bmt2: Do you happen to know the name of the interface? eth1? wlan0? Does it work at other places than at your brother's? [01:10] Joachim_Joe, ... [01:10] * Ashfire908 screams [01:10] bmt2: yep [01:10] i know there are restricted drivers opton in "system"but other than that to install manually... [01:10] loke, is that what they show in the Novell ads? [01:10] hello everyone [01:10] Joachim_Joe, what are you trying to do right now [01:10] i'm having a bit of trouble with sshd [01:10] Hey, I can't save the file: /usr/bin/compiz It says I don't have permissions... How can I access it as superuser? [01:10] it segfaults when i connect [01:10] AShfire908, add the KDE [01:10] steven_: auch [01:10] I am trying to close whatever you say is open AShfire908 [01:10] it's not pretty [01:10] i've never had this happen before [01:11] hey guys - i accidentily dragged my Desktop folder to the garbage bin - how the hell do i get it ou? [01:11] Ashfire908, and then it's bed time lol [01:11] mnemonica: sudo ... ? [01:11] I had downloaded an imagem but not by extension .iso and so .nrg ( nero for win ) someone knows some program who can I write an imagem on CD? [01:11] pgdx: let me try that [01:11] mnemonica, why are you trying to save over that file??? [01:11] gladier: lol [01:11] Dec 8 17:08:44 puffin kernel: [ 1398.007009] sshd[7511]: segfault at 00005555557e6710 rip 00005555557e6710 rsp 0000000040ffe378 error 15 [01:11] pgdx: ok that didn't work ! lol [01:11] because I need to change a memory setting from 64mb to 32 [01:11] gladier: that's something that will probably happen to me too, new at this [01:12] i cant believe i hit delete ... theres no restore option ... which is what im currently looking for [01:12] ashfire908: Because I need to change a memory setting from 64 to 32. [01:12] mnemonica, and why are you then trying to overwrite the compiz program? [01:12] bmt2: ifconfig -a gives you three or more listings? lo, eth0 and ... ? [01:12] i'm up to date (just checked) and running gutsy amd64 [01:12] any ideas? [01:12] Hey, does anyone know of a program where I can convert my songs to different formats? [01:12] Ashfire908: Because I get "cannot enable desktop effects" when I try to enable them. Any of them. [01:12] Also, movies to different formats [01:12] gladier: open nautilus, navigate to your home folder. open trash, drag your desktop into nautilus [01:13] gladier: try a terminal and ls .Trash [01:13] graphical disk map is neat-o [01:13] gladier: perhaps cp -R .Trash/Desktop . [01:13] mnemonica, ... [01:13] ok this is weird, I have my computer plugged directly into the router, however I can't ping the router or anything, and the lights are lit up on the socket so it's definitely connected [01:13] mnemonica, are you trying to change the compiz settings? [01:13] pgdx: no pgdx...that is not what i am talking about.....for instance in windows you can right-click on the wireless interace, and it will say : "Show Available Wireless Networks"....or something of that saying.... [01:13] ubuntme: mencoder or transcode [01:13] that is what i am talking about [01:13] Qjimbo: do you have an IP? [01:13] kitofhawaii thansk that worked ... i tried cutting it before but that was greyed out [01:14] bmt2: do you know if the drivers work ...= [01:14] ? [01:14] ashfire908: Sure. I suppose. but I know that what I need is in this file. I need to save it, if it doesn't work I'll just go back in and change it back to a 64. [01:14] gladier: np :) [01:14] ashfire908: So would you be so kind as to inform me on how to save it? [01:14] mnemonica, it's not. [01:14] mnemonica: sudo nano /usr.....file [01:14] pgdx,i got error_code+ox72/0x80 task_rq_lock+0x4a/0x80 [01:14] pgdx: i am not 100% on that...because i have had problems where my wireless network at home will work, and then it will not work [01:14] and some more [01:15] Last try ... I'm trying to make my own install cd based on the Ubuntu 7.10 server. I followed a manual on the net, but there is no such file as ./casper/squashfs.filesystem. Doesn't the server CD have squash? [01:15] Ashfire908, I typed sudo apt-get install kubuntu-destkop, am I rite or wrong? [01:15] mnemonica, /usr/bin/compiz is a program, not a settings file [01:15] ashfire908: Then could you inform me as to where it -is-? Because that's the file that came up when I issued the prompt command [01:15] anybody have any suggestions as to what to do when openssh-server crashes on attempted login? [01:15] Joachim_Joe: right [01:15] Joachim_Joe, that is right. [01:15] pgdx: and, thank you. [01:15] steven_: restart the server [01:15] mnemonica, what prompt command? [01:15] somebody that help me please!!! [01:16] when you have a kernel panic, is not possible to recover the O.S? [01:16] steven_: as in /etc/init.d/ssh restart [01:16] Does anyone has a link where it is explained, why you shouldn't use sudo instead of gksudo with GUI applications? [01:16] pgdx: according to the network settings I have DHCP enabled [01:16] Ashfire908, cool.. now I logged off and on again to get rid of any open process but now it says, can't find package [01:16] pgdx: i've tried that [01:16] i even ran it with debug mode on [01:16] steven_: still crashes -> fix /etc/ssh/sshd_config [01:16] and ifconfig shows that stuff ahs been transmitted [01:16] it doesn't give any enlightening error messages [01:16] it's a fresh install [01:16] just 10 seconds ago [01:16] haven't customized sshd_config [01:16] when will firefox3 be released? [01:16] Qjimbo: tried ifconfig in terminal? [01:16] do i have to do kernel update in ubuntu? [01:16] is it required? === Tribes_ is now known as Tribes [01:17] okay now, anyone know why ubuntu would have just completely crashed on me? [01:17] if yes then how? [01:17] steven_: but you have installed openssh-server [01:17] pgdx: yeah thats what I did to see [01:17] was just browsing and messaging [01:17] yes [01:17] and it shows that packets have been sent and recieved [01:17] i haven't changed the sshd config from the defaults [01:17] Someone knows some program to Burn a Imagem on CD, by extension .NRG? [01:17] i just apt-get installed it [01:17] tried to log in [01:17] steven_: sounds like a bug which needs to be reported to launchpad [01:17] and it crashes [01:17] Biohazard: Using sudo for GUI applications could cause minor problems like Firefox not keeping extentions, or serious problems such as not being able to log in anymore. [01:17] sigh [01:17] *sigh* Didn't work either way. lol [01:17] i was afraid of that :/ [01:17] STcom, not sure, any other pertinent info? [01:18] mnemonica, DO - NOT - EDIT - /usr/bin/compiz [01:18] captmorgan: sadly, not [01:18] Where can I find 'screenlet manager'? [01:18] Qjimbo: What about an IÅ address? [01:18] IP [01:18] Biohazard: It could possibly change the permissions in the .ICEauthority file. [01:18] captmorgan, it just shut off [01:18] #Ubuntu-pl [01:18] captmorgan, and wouldn't allow me to log on for the first 3 times [01:18] Biohazard: And since you asked for a link...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96661 [01:18] mnemonica, *sigh* editing it is like trying to edit a .exe file in windows. [01:18] ashfire908: I already did... It didn't do anything. I'm going to change it back now... Why was it SO important that I don't edit that file? [01:19] loke: thanks a lot [01:19] STcom: is this just a one time thing how long have you had ubuntu? [01:19] Biohazard: Not a problem. [01:19] ashfire908: Right. And what I wanted to do was restrict it from using anything over 32mb of memory. [01:19] :( just hibernated the first time with Ubuntu [01:19] nice ugly screen [01:19] captmorgan, i've had it for a couple of weeks, and it's shut down occasionally, but nothing that didn't allow me to log back in [01:19] pgdx: it appears I have an ipv6 address [01:19] colourful lines [01:19] mnemonica, IT"S NOT A SETTINGS FILE! IT"S A PROGRAM EXECUTABLE! [01:20] mnemonica: I don't think you understand how it works. You can't directly limit the memory usage. [01:20] looks like clouds [01:20] is there a command that i can do in a terminal that will show me avaiable wireless networks [01:20] on top of colors [01:20] Ashfire908: Although, there are legitimate Windows tweaks that involve a .exe and a hex editor. The analogy doesn't transfer though. [01:20] Qjimbo: try sudo dhclient eth0 [01:20] mnemonica: and /usr/bin/compiz is kind of like...msn.exe. You can't "edit it" like that. [01:20] bmt2: i told you ... iwlist scan eth1/wlan0 [01:20] I edited usr/bin/compiz when emerald was giving me problems [01:20] is there a configuration file for compiz that is editable? [01:20] it was just a text file [01:20] ashfire908: I did that, but it didn't resolve the issue that I'm having with my video card. So thank you for attempting to help, but I have multiple sources that said contrary to you. Maybe I don't understand it, but I'm sure that the several individuals that posted guides did... It didn't affect anything anyway, so I don't really care now. Once again, thanks for the effort. [01:21] tonyyarusso, it's the smae basic thing. don't edit it's not a settings file [01:21] bmt2: but if your wireless card doesn't show in ifconfig -a you've got a driver issue [01:21] Yaz: I think that's how compiz used to be. Not sure how it is now. [01:21] Ashfire908: Thanks a bunch! Gonna try this KDE thing tomorrw, I think you answered enough of my questiosn :P [01:21] is there a program for linux that i can use to create multi-page pdfs from scanned documents? [01:21] Bye everyone! Happy 2. Advent [01:21] mnemonica, fine. go *** up your system. [01:21] onats: open office? [01:21] pgdx, which prog in open office? the word processor? [01:22] Ashfire908: let mnemonica try [01:22] onats: writer [01:22] Ashfire908: Under all normal conditions, right. (For example though, changing the text of the "Start" button I believe involves editing explorer.exe) Not for the faint of heart though, flat-out stupid when you have the source anyway, and completely useless when it's not even the right file :P [01:22] eech, some process called "IRQ-16" is using all my CPU [01:22] hi Guyz [01:22] hi. I need help setting up my wireless connection, but I use Xubuntu. Would the procedure be the same for both flavors, ie can I ask here? [01:22] mnemonica: That's not a file you edit unless you're SURE of what you're doing. Since you're asking how...I'll assume you're not sure. [01:22] ashfire908: Don't be a jerk. I ALREADY EDITED THE FILE. IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. I CHANGED IT BACK. NO HARM DONE. Go eat a sock. [01:22] mnemonica: A simple typo could cause compiz to no longer work. [01:22] what's the easiest way to install vmware-player in gutsy? [01:22] Rafabe: know your way around a terminal? [01:23] pgdx: nope, first time using linux [01:23] although, I know OF it [01:23] if it's just a command that launches a wizard, I can take it from there [01:23] pgdx, is there a ubuntu server channel? [01:23] pgdx, are you aware what mnemonica is doing? [01:23] Rafabe: well ... wireless is wireless, but Gnome has some tools XFCE doesn't. But if you have install xubuntu, there's no problem installing Gnome programs [01:23] god, i keep DCing [01:24] *is/trying to do? [01:24] anyway...i edited /usr/bin/compiz [01:24] lovedeatm: eh, why do you ask? Don't know, my first time here [01:24] it was just a text file [01:24] when you have a kernel panic, is not possible to recover the O.S? [01:24] loke: I understand that. It already doesn't work, I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. There is a line in that "file" or "executable" or whatever the hell it is, that has something to do with NVIDIA's memory. The value is normally 64, but some cards can only handle compiz if the value is 32. I don't know why, but it doesn't mater. [01:24] Yaz: Thank you... jeez [01:24] sebasianffx: you can get your data if that's what you want [01:24] huh [01:24] lol [01:24] sebasianffx: and, so, yes [01:24] pgdx, i have server issues and question [01:24] I know of one command: ifconfig, and running it shows that it detects my wireless card, and the "RX" packets keep increasing. Therefore it seems to work, I just need to enter a connection. Everything is disabled (greyed out) in Apps > System > Network, so I need to figure out how to enter my WPA key and SIID [01:24] SSID [01:24] sebasianffx: I think if you boot off the unbuntu cd there's a "rescue broken install" or something [01:24] hi, xserver-xorg fails on ATI Radeon X700 (gutsy), any ideas on how to solve the problem? [01:24] lovedeatm: fire at will [01:24] *ubuntu [01:25] I saw in launchpad that it was solved , but my card fails [01:25] mnemonica: Yes, there is such a line. "cat /usr/bin/compiz | grep 64 [01:25] mnemonica: outputs... "NVIDIA_MEMORY="65536" # 64MB [01:25] pgdx, i am going to set up a server that does RTASS [01:25] " [01:25] I need some help please [01:25] loke: yes. [01:25] loke: or: grep 64 /usr/bin/compiz :p [01:26] I have Ubuntu Fiesty installed...and..I can get an IP, and nameservers...but I cannot ping anything (not even my router), nor connect at all... [01:26] loke: that was the line of code that I changed. all I did was change the 64 to 32, it didn't do ANYTHING noticable. I changed it back. [01:26] gdm fails to start when booting ubuntu normally. What would prevent it from starting or how can I get it to work as expected? [01:26] pgdx, i need to know what kinda of setup to use (ie lamp) for such purposes (RTASS means audio streaming) [01:26] lovedeatm: Well ... icecast? [01:26] xiven: I have the EXACT same problem! [01:27] AlReece45, bad xorg.conf configuration, did you have desktop running at least once? [01:27] and I can't figure out what the bloody hell is going on [01:27] My internet, is wireless broadband, although, up until the Modem itself, its wired. [01:27] lovedeatm: Are you asking which distro to install, or what packages under Ubuntu? [01:27] mnemonica: If you're trying to make it 32mb, then the number would be 32768 [01:27] lulu:afer booting to recovery mode, I can start gdm manually. [01:27] I just installed screenlets, but how do I run it? [01:27] loke: The guide said to simply change the value "64MB" to "32MB" [01:27] interesting xiven, my network is also wireless, though at the moment I've got the computer plugged directly into the router with ethernet [01:28] what differs ubuntu desktop and server edition? [01:28] pgdx, weh you pop in the installation CD i get 2 choice of installation [01:28] loke: Ah. I see now... The 64 is noted. [01:28] xiven: perhaps a driver problem? [01:28] mEck0: a lot, no GUI in server [01:28] mnemonica: The "64MB" part is commented, so it's not directly part of the config. The 64xxx is what needs to change [01:28] lovedeatm: ah, well ... What are those? [01:28] LAMP and? [01:29] pgdx, you get lamp and something else...i don't know which will suit my needs and there is another issue in volve brb let me get you a link to my full question [01:29] loke: Awesome, thanks. I'll change that and see if it helps. [01:29] AlReece45, uhm, so it looks like its not xorg.conf fault, I'm clueless, sorry [01:29] How do I enable extensions for Epiphany in Ubuntu? [01:29] mnemonica: No problem. [01:29] Qjimbo> Who is your Wireless provider? [01:29] PirateHead, epiphany does not have extensions like firefox does, there are a few plugins, check in the about screen for the link to the epiphany website [01:30] Pelo: You are incorrect. There are extensions for Epiphany just like Firefox. I'm just wondering how to enable them. [01:30] mnemonica, I"M (*(*^#*^ SORRY FIRST REACTION TO SOMEONE EDITING /usr/bin/* OR THE LIKE IS THAT THEY ARE EDITING A EXECUTABLE FILE SO I"M %$@%$&^# WRONG CONGARTS YOU ARE NOT A RETARD I AM GO SIT ON YOUR PEDICAL WITH YAZ WHICH I SUSPECT IS ACTUALLY YOU DUE TO THE TIMING. [01:30] pgdx, http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19501 [01:30] xiven: oh you mean wireless wireless, I meant my router has wifi [01:30] PirateHead: Pelo is implying that the extensions are different. [01:30] PirateHead, check the epiphany website [01:30] ashfire908 wtf dude [01:30] loke, not implying, saying outright [01:30] chill [01:31] Will I get kicked off the server if I dont have a registered nick? xchat keeps crashing [01:31] AlReece45, did you check the logs already? [01:31] !divx [01:31] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:31] Yaz: My nick isn't registered. [01:31] lulu: which logs should I check? [01:31] pgdx, ok, because I want to install ubuntu again after I've tested archlinux for a couple of days. I think it is faster than ubuntu, but maybe to much to configure... which wm should I install ubuntu with do you think? [01:31] Well my internet is wireless...but i have it wired all the way up to the Modem itself. [01:31] Pelo: From the Epiphany website: "Epiphany runs all the same popular plugins that run in Mozilla." [01:31] lovedeatm: if you don't want Apache/Mysql/PHP, don't choose the LAMP. It depends what you want from your server. If you just wish to stream aufio from it, just apt-get install icecast and ices [01:31] AlReece45, probably xorgs, and I don't know if gdm dumps logs too, you can find them in /var/log [01:31] loke: Meh... Didn't affect anything. I still can't enable desktop effects [01:31] PirateHead, then the website should tell you how todo it [01:31] WIndows connects fine as you can tell. But, Ubuntu refuses to do more then get teh IP and DNS [01:32] What's the command (smbaddusr)? [01:32] xiven, maybe the ppl in #networking can advise you [01:32] mnemonica: Perhaps it would be best to go to the ubuntu forums. The information we would need takes up an excessive amount of space. [01:32] is there a way to revert back to a previous configuration point in ubuntu? [01:32] Pelo: It says that the extensions package should be available through your distro, at which point I came here and posed my question. [01:32] does ubuntu come with ndisgtk? [01:32] mEck0: whatever you like. Gnome is to Ubuntu as KDE is to Kubuntu. If you don't like Gnome after a while, just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, you can test KDE [01:32] Hello all [01:32] loke: Alright, thanks. [01:32] I have a DiVX encoded avi file -- that doesn't playback in VLC [01:32] I hear the sound - but dont see the picture... [01:33] Cpudan80, thats odd.. Where did it come from? [01:33] PirateHead, check in synaptic search for epiphany there is possibly a -pluggin package [01:33] Cpudan80: what codec do you have? [01:33] synthase: ehh no idea [01:33] Does anyone know how I might fix the problem? [01:33] pgdx, ok, thx [01:33] The file info says Divx [01:33] Cpudan80, right click on it - select properties. check the tabs for detailed info [01:33] Cpudan80: You prolly need the codec ffmepg try mplayer [01:34] btw --- if you install icecast, just know that something has to stream the music to icecast for icecast to stream to other users [01:34] pgdx, ok, do you kwhat a standard config would be? if not or if its to detailed dun worry about it [01:34] Dr_willis: It says ehh Mpeg-4 divx [01:34] PirateHead, sudo apt-get install epiphany-extensions [01:34] i have no wifi connectivity icon in my menu bar anymore [01:34] version 3 [01:34] lovedeatm: Standard server install? Or regarding to the streaming stuff? [01:34] how can i get it back? [01:34] * xiven wishes he could figure out the problem [01:34] Pelo: I found it in synaptic. I had been looking for it in Add/Remove programs. Thanks though. :-) [01:34] http://web.comhem.se/~u51024107/ [01:34] nyone? [01:34] bconnolly: the same way you find your wallet when you have lost it. Remember what you did to remove it [01:35] pgdx, standard server install [01:35] i think i removed the panel [01:35] Can anyone help me with setting up a wireless network? I want to use ndisgtk (which was supposed to come with ubuntu), but I can't even get the program to install [01:35] lulu: Would "Screen 0 is not DRI capable" cause any problems relating to startup? [01:35] PirateHead, add remove is only good for apps not for libs or extras [01:35] what should i chose between k3b and brasero ? [01:35] but it's not a choosable panel to add [01:35] so i can't get it back [01:35] Does anyone know why samba might not be broadcasting to XPs network neighborhood? [01:35] titi, try them both.. use what you like. [01:35] david_J: ahh ok - I didnt have that one for some reason [01:35] thanks [01:35] adamonline45, you did enable some samba shares? [01:35] lovedeatm: No, unfortunately. But enough. SSH and all other needed GNU-utils. No GUI, though. So you need to know your way around the terminal [01:36] meanjean, isn't ndisgtk just a frontend for ndiswrapper ? [01:36] Cpudan80: np [01:36] thanks [01:36] !wifi | meanjean [01:36] meanjean: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:36] lovedeatm: Or, at least manage to apt-get install iceast2 ices / mpd [01:36] meanjean: What card? [01:36] Pelo, yeah it is, i used the guide that came with ubuntu that said i could find it with synaptic, but i didn't show up [01:36] dhcp discover just is not working [01:37] david_J, belkin f5d7050, i have a few guides for installing it [01:37] lovedeatm: and, btw, VLC can also stream, but I think, if you wanna set up a radio station, that icecast is more suited [01:37] adamonline45: it's a thing that I have noticed, Ubuntu fresh install, see the XPs network neighborhood, when you want to share a folder it wants install Samba and then it'll be more time to see the others XP computers [01:37] meanjean: never used one... === MarcoZ is now known as MarcoZ[OFF] [01:37] meanjean, did you spell it right ? is y our computer connected to the interenet (wired) ? that might help you get the extra stuff, the gtk package might not be on the cd [01:37] hello [01:37] pgdx, ok thanks [01:38] how do i upgrade my system from 7.04 to 7.10 ?

[01:39] lulu: It has EE next to it. [01:39] Cpudan80: prolly mispelled... [01:39] Pelo, the card is a usb adapter...worked fine with windows i just can't get the drivers instaled, I'm new to the terminal with ndiswrapper...so i'd rather use ndisgtk [01:39] Dr_willis: I have it set to security level user... Doesn't that automatically share each users home directory? [01:39] Cpudan80: I can play divix just fine [01:39] david_J: I installed the ubuntu-extras for restricted formats [01:39] zeroc00l: I'll check it out, ty :) [01:39] adamonline45, i do not think it does.. check the smb.conf - see if the home definitions are commented out. [01:39] meanjean, it will proabaly be easier if you use the computer the pacakge is to be installed on and wire it to the router for this task then relaod the packages in synaptic and search again for the package [01:39] AlReece45, so try looking for the error in google :), I never have dealt with that error [01:39] Cpudan80: google medubuntu [01:39] is it possible to access the setup options from within the installed ubuntu os (I used ubuntu studio with the text based installer) [01:40] lulu: okay [01:40] got this dell dimension case i want to reuse. it's got a motherboard in it with those hooks and i can't figure out how to get it out. anyone know the secret?

[01:41] Pelo; yes i have and theres no help there [01:41] : ePSXe is not executable you have to unpack it to get the executable [01:41] uncommon: what do you mean? [01:41] meanjean, to use ndiswrapper you need to get the .inf file for the windows driver, put it somewhere convinient on your ubuntu partiton then start ndiswrapper from the command line and point it to the .inf file [01:42] david_J: Are you playing it back in VLC? [01:42] : ePSXe is not statically link to any shared library yet you have to unpack it you have to download something i forgot the name [01:42] Cpudan80: never install vlc... I use mplayer [01:42] oh [01:42] Is there an Epiphany extension to add a search bar like the ones in Mozilla, Opeara, IE7, etc? [01:42] Pelo, that's where i get lost...how do i 1)start ndiswrapper from the terminal and 2)tell it to use those drivers? [01:42] how can I reinstall all the packages associated with network support(wireless card drivers, ieee802.11, etc) in gutsy? [01:42] uncommon: what do you mean unpack? [01:43] super61, from what I can remember , and there isn't much, you also need to dl a bunch fo virutal machine packages, from further in inside the site and load those virutal drivers in the epsxe prog, I suggest you google for a how to [01:43] pgdx, i know on windows i could install mac stuff on to windows if i install it in a mac enviorment..can i do the same with linux i guess is the important question..then just set permissions on linux to that folder. can i do that [01:43] : do you have the ePSXe ? the main application file? [01:43] uncommon: yes i do [01:43] meanjean, do you know how to open a terminal ? menu > applications> accessories > gnome-termnal [01:43] pelo, yep i can get there, just don't know what to type [01:44] : have u tried invoking it trough terminal like so "./ePSXe ? does it run? [01:44] meanjean, then just type sudo ndiswrapper , the rest should be self evident I thnk , never actualy done it [01:44] they really should make the terminal more accesible [01:44] uncommon: yes i have and nothing happens [01:44] : if it doesn't you have to unpack it... [01:44] ok, i've been typing sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper...and it tells me it can't dinf the directory [01:44] *find [01:44] <\`slushpuppy`\> lazarus_lupine , there's keyboard shortcuts :| [01:44] lazarus_lupine, set it to open when I press the windows key on my kb [01:44] uncommon: what do you mean unpack?

[01:45] I use yakuake Pelo [01:45] meanjean: ndiswrappwer -i *.inf [01:45] meanjean, follow david_J 's advice he seems to know more about this then I do [01:45] : try this first "ldd ePSXe" [01:46] ok, thanks [01:46] * Pelo assigns david_J to help meanjean [01:46] : what does it tell you? it can't be identified isn't it? [01:46] uncommon: ldd? im still a little new with ubuntu\ [01:46] david_J, so all i need to do is start ndiswrapper in the terminal (sudo ndiswrapper) and specify the driver? [01:46] : invoke it trough terminal type this "ldd ePSXe" and press enter [01:47] meanjean: yeah but your stuff wont stick when you reboot [01:47] uncommon: ok hold on [01:47] david_J, how do i add it to the kernel?

[01:49] david_J, thanks for the help...I'll try it out and if i have any problems I'll talk to you about it [01:49] : if your ePSXe is in your desktop you have to be in it like so "cd /home/yourusername/ePSXeFolder" [01:49] pelo, but windows is faster at this right? [01:49] ok hld on [01:49] : then "ldd ePSXe" [01:49] : same folder [01:49] eyemean, I don't remember I haven't bothered with windows in a long time [01:49] : back up the main application file not the folder ok [01:49] eyemean, but I don't think so , I seem to recall it was slow as hell as well [01:49] meanjean: sure.. But I never had any luck with ndiswrapper that's why I get a madwifi card [01:50] pelo, lol,, i haveent been away from windows to long yet, new to linux, but im loving it, hahaha [01:50] eyemean, how much time did it take ?

[01:51] can someone tell me what the last package upgrades were for Ubuntu? I just did the automatic package update and it's broken my sound [01:51] peddy: Deluge allocates the space for the file before it gets all of it [01:51] Peddy, the bittorrent protocol preallocates the space on the hdd in order to reduce the rewrites that is perfectly normal === dlunch_ is now known as dlunch [01:51] : now install upx-ucl or the beta which ever is available [01:52] 谁说中文？ [01:52] uncommon: use the terminal right?

[01:56] I'm *really* tearing my hair out about a problem now, and nobody seems to want to reply to me anywhere :(. Is there a known problem which would prevent me from disabling the display suspend feature? Even though I've turned it off everywhere I can find it, my display still suspends after 10 minutes of idleness, which is pretty frustrating. Thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633476 [01:56] IamReck, look in synaptic for recordmydesktop [01:57] Thank you Pelo, that did the trick! === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:57] Laney, how about you just state the problem I can'T make heads or tales of your post [01:57] : minimize your synaptic because you will goin to use it when you're missing a library [01:57] uncommon: ok then... [01:57] Pelo: Didn't I? [01:58] : now go back to your terminal and go to your ePSXe folder "cd /home/username/Desktop/ePSXe" [01:58] Pelo, actually, i don't think i've gotten an answer in here for over a year or two now :) [01:58] ok [01:58] Pelo: My display still suspends even though I've turned off every option which would cause it to.

[01:58] Laney, much better, I can'T helpyou much with this, did you "search" in the forum for possible solutions ? [01:58] Pelo: Yes. [01:58] can I forbidden update-grub to use UUID? better to forbidden UUID in fstab also [01:59] right now, I rely on "chattr +i", but it's nasty [01:59] Pelo: Which is when I decided to make a post. I feel entitled to be a little bit frustrated here. [01:59] Laney, I assume this is a laptop ? [01:59] Pelo: No, it's a desktop. [01:59] : now try this command in your terminal "upx -d ePSXe" the ePSXe <---- is your application file [01:59] Where should I put applications that I compile myself? [01:59] Laney, slightly less usualy but still possible that the problems is located in the bios powersaving settings, did you give those a look ? [02:00] adamonline45: somewhere that a ubuntu package won't ever put it. /opt or /usr/local [02:00] uncommon: ok [02:00] adamonline45: or make your own deb package. or use gnu stow [02:00] tarzeau: That's what I figured... /usr/local/bin ok? [02:00] Pelo: I did, nothing seemed to stand out. [02:00] adamonline45: depends on the software, but yes sounds good [02:00] Pelo: Would some log somewhere have noted when it suspended? [02:00] (I'm not sure where the package manager puts things) :) ty!

[02:02] eunia, if no one here has advice I suggest you look for wpa and intel in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:02] VLC plays the audio - but no picture [02:02] eunia: You need a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf [02:02] Laney, have you checked the monitors own settings as well to make sure it isn't hardwired to turn off [02:02] uncommon: one its /lib/ld-linux.so.2 [02:02] Pelo, thanks [02:02] infinitycircuit: Where would I need to check?

[02:03] eunia: maybe go to the wpa_supplicant website... Well that is if you have the driver installed correctly... [02:03] uncommon: nothing says missing [02:03] eunia: Can you see the device? [02:03] yeah [02:03] pelo, ok thanx m8 [02:03] Laney, if you never want to blank the screen, you should be able to comment out the line that says "Option "DPMS"" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:03] eyemean, mind you I'm going from memory here, I havne't had to unpack one in a couple of weeks [02:03] eunia: assign it a ip address?

[02:06] uncommon: it says undefined symbol for plugins [02:06] super61 : if you have problems with plugins there are plenty just google it or you can install the one on the synaptic you can install it by finding the word "psx" in synaptic [02:06] infinitycircuit: Well I was just going to try getting rid and seeing if the problem went away. I see some option called LM_AC_TERMINAL_BLANK_MINUTES=10 which looks like it could have something to do with it. CONTROL_DPMS_STANDBY is 0 though. [02:06] uncommon: ok [02:06] Pelo: yes, but it was giving me errors when i tried to install other stuff, so I had to remove it temporarily [02:07] Laney, yeah if CONROL_DPMS_STANDBY is off it won't cause any problems [02:07] Pelo: its all really weird [02:07] ctothej, did you try the manual install of the nvidia drivers the debian way? [02:07] super61 : you have to have plugins... and bios but for the bios i can't help you have to own a PS1 and dumped a bios from there...

[02:07] uncommon: can psx emulate psp games? [02:07] Pelo: everything works fine when i remove cupsys, but as soon as i try to install it again, i cant install anything else [02:08] infinitycircuit: i downloaded the .run file from nvidia's site and installed from that with the new kernwl [02:08] : i really dunno but it was design to load the PS1 bios only... [02:08] infinitycircuit: it had to recompile for that kernel, and it seemed to do so just fine [02:08] DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 [02:08] shadowblade, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu or xubuntu, which ever you are using , see if it fixes the probelm , should reinstall everything that is part fo tth default install [02:08] uncommon: ok [02:09] uncommon: its funny how they lost the source code for epsxe [02:09] * Pelo gives FloodBot3 a cookie [02:09] hi, amy grub experts?

I was told I could switch to french at the logon screen, but I only see English as an option (various English locales) [02:22] ctothej, http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=10812 except replace "nvidia-glx" with"nvidia-glx-new" [02:22] uncoomon: ok [02:22] Has anybody come across gedit spitting out floating point exceptions?

[02:32] AprilHare, you can boot into an existing windows installation with vmware player, there are guides on the forum that explain how to do it [02:32] : you can do that in Add/Remove programs in Application and type firewall or through synaptic and type firewall or firestarter [02:33] infinity, in the future, can I grant myself rights without using the console? Like if I'm browsing my files, and I decide I want to edit one...can't I give myself the priviileges without having to go type gksu gedit? [02:33] can sum1 plz tell me if ubuntu can burn .img files??? [02:33] how do i make my motherboard not to beep everytime ? [02:33] infinitycircuit, thankyou - however vmware refuses to install here [02:33] infinitycircuit, so you dont have to convert this existing installation into a vm ? [02:33] fantum13: try again using legible words [02:33] Varka : uncommon : is it ok to use ubuntu 7.10 desktop for server? [02:33] spzatt: type "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" at the terminal and add the line "blacklist pcspkr" [02:33] "VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" [02:34] i am using an athlon xp 1600+ processor [02:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47487/ [02:34] can anyone tell me why? [02:34] Kalamansi, its ok but not recommended as you have a lot of stuff running you dont need on a server, first of all the xserver [02:34] MarcoRamius: Yeah alright jackass, can I use nautilus or K3B or Braesero to burn a mac image file? [02:34] AprilHare: did you download the 64bit version on accident? [02:35] manad, you can always use the gksu line from the run prompt reached by alt+f2 [02:35] soothsayer, no - this was reported by the Add/Remove menu [02:35] fantum13: you could change the extension to .iso [02:35] it is strange behaviour [02:35] manad, it is dangerous to indiscriminately give yourself root privileges and is highly discouraged [02:35] anyone know of a good music sharing program-- ie sharazaa for linux? [02:36] where should i put it Kalamansi? [02:36] guys do we need to file a love letter and court every Major and indie game developer around the world just to convince them how great the linux is for gaming.. No i don't think so.. What I think they all know how great linux is for gamin I just don't seem to get why none of them or very few them is interested. [02:36] infinity: got it...I meant easy GUI access to granting myself privileges [02:36] uncommon: if people used linux more then windows then devs would make more games for linux [02:36] there's nothing wrong with booting to windows to game [02:36] it's no different than turning on an xbox [02:36] Varka : im not good in "type" thing in terminal..so is it okay to use ubuntu 7.10 desktop as server with x window?take note that this server is just a server only.no surfing/downloading/etc/ once i finish install firewall and other packet filtering and limiting bandwidth with a certain user who always use "youtube" [02:36] Kalamansi, where to add blacklist pcspkr ? [02:37] yea but windows is so open its not even funny [02:37] Spzatt: put a what? [02:37] manad: The second you do that will be the second you irreversibly break something. The reason why linux is more secure than windows is that in windows, you're _always_ root [02:37] super61 : i'm not talkin' about monopoly i'm talkin about availability and portability... if the issues here is about license linux is very flexible... [02:37] im inside the blacjlsit file [02:37] blacklist * [02:37] MarcoRamius: I have linux on my Xbox, its dual-booted with OpenBSD [02:37] Spzatt : i think im not a right guy to answer you...im a first timer...i was asking help also [02:37] fantum13: good for you [02:37] k [02:37] fantum: fair enough...but I'd still have to enter my password if I had easy GUI access to higher privileges, so it's not a security risk [02:38] Spzatt: you add "blacklist " to the end of the file. [02:38] Well folks you guys wanted my paste to help me with locating my old C: drive , here is it : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47487/ [02:38] manad: any privilege escalation is a security risk. [02:38] i searched for the package with apt and it finds vmware-server but not vmware player [02:38] test [02:38] uncommon: i saying tho yea more people use windows but if windows never came around linux would be in control. plus linux it under GUP liseance right? [02:38] uncommon: GPL [02:38] Spzatt, you need to add the line "blacklist pcspkr" to etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:38] infinity, didnt work. [02:39] Spzatt: Your drive doesn't seem to be mounted. [02:39] How do i mount it ? >.< [02:39] Spzatt, it will work on reboot, you can get it to work now by just typing "sudo modprobe -r pcspkr" [02:39] Anyone know of a good music file sharing program for linux IE. shareaza [02:39] by the way, having just finished installing Ubuntu, I checked for updates, and there's 79 updates in the Update Manager. I'm not sure what I should update or not...are they all important updates? [02:39] Spzatt, please pastebin the result of "sudo fdisk -l" [02:39] mrdinkles: try aMule, an open-source emule client [02:39] isn't there limewire for linux? [02:39] manad, you should let everything udpate [02:39] manad : windows is monolithic ... if Maria is for Juan and Elena is for Pedro in the worl of windows it isn't like that it's like Maria and Elena is for Juan and even Juan is for Pedro even the gender doens't matter as long as it can be stick anywhere though anywhere as long as there is a hole... lolz [02:39] Kalamansi, just as i said, its you have all functions and abilities in the desktop package as in the serverpackage, but also a lot stuff in addition you wont need. so if that is ok for you, its also ok for you to use the desktop version as a server === omninek is now known as supanek0 [02:39] Yes there is limewire for linux [02:39] Spzatt, "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows" [02:40] technically linux is monolithic as well [02:40] infinitycircuit: "nvidia.ko failed to build" is the message i get when trying to compile it the debian way [02:40] super61 : right.. [02:40] Anyone know how to edit the places menu? I want to add a mountpoint to it. [02:40] you can probably just sudo apt-get install limewire [02:40] k [02:40] What does it mean if a package is not verified? [02:40] ctothej, that's weird well sorry i can't help you at this point since i have intel graphics cards [02:40] Spzatt, if it works, you may add it to your fstab [02:40] emma, my comment is in relation to a call for a decent music sharing package for linux [02:40] fstab? [02:40] techno-wi1: open nautilus and edit places in sidebar [02:40] emma, thanks for letting me know though :) [02:40] Oh sorry :) [02:40] Spzatt, he is referring to /etc/fstab [02:40] AprilHare: For a way better protocol, try using bittorrent with the Deluge client [02:40] ount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: [02:41] emma, not there [02:41] fantum13, deluge? [02:41] I have limewire on my comp but I don't remember how I got it. Maybe I installed it myself. [02:41] torrents are normally for large files [02:41] techno-wi1, If you only want to add something to it, browse to what you want to add, then press ctrl+d too bookmark it and it will appear there. [02:41] Yes deluge is a nice bittorent ap. [02:41] well linux is still getting devoloped. it well be as good as windows soon [02:41] It's the one I use. [02:41] Spzatt: NTFS is a proprietary file system and all linux drivers for its use have been reverse-engineered. You should only use NTFS on linux with caution [02:41] what's the torrent client of choice on linux? I used uTorrent on Windows. [02:41] You can probably sudo apt-get install deluge [02:41] AprilHare: yes, and discographies are large files ;) [02:41] But then you have to use google to search for your torrents. [02:41] Spzatt, pastebin the error message [02:42] manad: try Deluge or Azureus [02:42] Thanks! [02:42] fantum13, how much music do you really need? ;) [02:42] i did [02:42] AprilHare: more than I could ever possibly store [02:42] super61 : linux is even better than windows it's the vendor support that's lacking and other third parties... [02:42] manad: i use transmission [02:42] Failed to mount '/dev/hdb1': Operation not supported [02:42] Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: [02:42] Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by [02:42] clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows [02:42] taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. [02:42] Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for [02:42] your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: [02:42] mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows -o force [02:42] Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: [02:42] chris@chris-desktop:~$ [02:42] shit [02:42] sorry [02:42] spzatt you are flooding. [02:42] Spzatt, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/Windows [02:42] pasted the wrong info [02:43] manad : i would recommend deluge and transmission but deluge is better as it is much more like uTorrent [02:43] ubotu: !paste [02:43] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [02:43] I feel so embarrassed for Spzatt now. [02:43] uncommon, super61, its not better or worse, its just different for a different type of users and thats good as it is [02:44] Varka : ok i second that... for world peace not war... it's even better than religion [02:44] I need to buy a wireless router and adapter, preferably cheap that will work with xubuntu 7.10? [02:44] ANyone have any ideas? [02:44] NullName: any router should work decently, try getting an adaptor with an Aethros chipset, those are typically good [02:44] Varka: yea thats true. but games like us that like linux have to dual boot with windows. its a little frustating and sucks [02:45] NullName, router have http admin interface, should be os independent [02:45] super61: I game and I haven't used windows in years [02:45] if you're desperate for games on linux try emulation (SNES/N64/PS1/etc) [02:45] NullName, the router doesnt depend on what os you are using, you can concentrate on the adapter. i can give you a detailed hardwarelist, but its german if you dont mind [02:45] manad: there are plenty of FOSS games or just linux games [02:45] some of the best games ever made were for old consoles...beats playing the latest WW2 shooter [02:45] Varka but right now : I can say windows has better support in gaming bill really knows how tickle young people and those young at heart is it brainwashing? I know because I was... even most of the school was... [02:46] fantum: how many are any good though? Tux Racer isn't really a game. I can only think of Battle of Wesnoth as a decent free OSS game [02:46] Varka: THanks, but I don't need the german list. Okak So I will focus on the adapter...I need to use usb...does that matter? [02:46] and of course the Star Control 2 remake [02:46] manad: try vendetta online, a cross-platform MMORPG [02:47] super61, uncommon, its not windows that supports the games, its the games that support windows [02:47] manad: most games from ID software are on linux, as well as Neverwinter Nights and EVE online [02:47] NullName, I know zd1211 works great, I have one [02:47] thanks dli! [02:47] NullName, and cheap too [02:47] Varka : yes that's what i mean ... third party support... [02:47] uncommon: what are install-sh for? its been a bit [02:48] Does anyone have a list of compatible usb adapters? [02:48] NullName: for wireless? [02:48] Hello. What is the easiest way to transfer files between someone who has Ubuntu and someone who has Windows? [02:49] NullName, yes, let me find the official list [02:49] back [02:49] thanks dli!!!! [02:49] most student my country things windows is the most advance os there is.. and 90% of them knows that MSWord is the only word processor there is even anything that resembles MSWord but now word and yet they called it word ... Even those stuff that we all guys here knows who copied who what copied what... Students here in my country thinks windows has originality [02:49] well, people, explain once again how to locate my old C: drive [02:49] super61: yes fo wireless..a usb wireless adapter [02:49] Can anyone help me download Ubuntu on a mac? [02:49] I mean, install. [02:50] NullName: what wireless adaptor are you useing? [02:50] NullName, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported#head-603c9481d6c6288b6b674cc50132d21f6d539c53 [02:50] NullName, http://zydas.rapla.net/ , I think there's a newer version also [02:50] uncommon, what country are you from? [02:50] Varka beat me to it [02:50] super61 I want to buy one from staples.com zipcode 97405 [02:50] NullName: ok [02:50] uncommon: It is quite clear that years of Microsoft producing nearly universally adopted software has affected those who have been on the fringes of the computing community [02:51] NullName, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices [02:51] Spzatt, i was afk, did you get a chance to pastebin the results of "sudo fdisk -l" [02:51] thanks guys!!! [02:51] uncommon, out of interest, where are you? [02:51] Anyone? Please? [02:51] NullName, the fsf.org list (for rt2500), http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html [02:51] How customizable is Emerald compared to GWD? [02:51] Varka : can you give me some advice on how to detect my isp or connect my isp using ubuntu 7.10 desktop? ok, my isp gave me a login and password so that i could connect to the internet..how to setup in ubuntu an auto connect so that i will not put user/pass and dial everytime i want to connect the internet...thanks.speed 2.2 mbps adsl broadband [02:51] And can Emerald use Metacity themes? [02:51] spolvid, are you having a particular problem or do you not know where to start [02:52] well, people, explain once again how to locate my old C: drive [02:52] I don't know where to start. [02:52] when a programmer makes a GUI program for linux, does he have to make a separate version for each Window Manager (Gnome, KDE, XCFE)? Or do they all interpret the same libraries/code? [02:52] I downloaded 7.10 amd6. [02:52] Philippines... ( don't hate for that ) [02:52] Kalamansi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [02:52] manad: primarily, the same code [02:53] uncommon, what do you mean don't hate for that? [02:53] Spzatt, most likely, your ntfs partition need a fsck (scandisk) [02:53] Spzatt, did you get my request? [02:53] there are libraries, but they work in all of them; it means you can have a lighter system if you keep with programs specifically 'for' your wm, but you can use anything with the right libraries [02:53] well the Phillipines isn't the only country like that [02:53] manad: well, first pick your language. C/C++, Python, Mono. Then the GUI toolkit (GTK, wx, Qt, Tk). And then optionally desktop specific libs. But they still all run together its not like they are different systems. It'll be mostly cosmetic (GTK looks odd in KDE and vice versa.) [02:54] I didnt, im afraid [02:54] onats : sorry it's ( don't hate me for that ) it's just nothing more than saying in my thoughts [02:54] please join #spzatt [02:54] Oh, are people actually using Mono for Linux projects? [02:54] manad: Tomboy and Beagle come to mind. [02:54] Spzatt, could pastebin the result of "sudo fdisk -l" [02:54] actually the worst place for lack of desktop diversity would be North Korea [02:55] thanks Varka.i will read this [02:55] they're all Microsoft bound [02:55] manad : mono are great and are makin' progress really fast and yet not that stable ( my opinion though you could hate me for that ) example fspot keeps on crashing... [02:55] dli, please join #spzatt [02:55] uncommon: i found a mame eumator and need help installing it :) care to help? [02:55] any country with no piracy checks is going to use Microsoft [02:55] AprilHare: I thought commy countries were all for GNU cause they can't afford Windows. [02:55] cello: they pirate it [02:55] If i compile my own kernel, will I need to compile new fuse modules? [02:55] ctothej: prolly [02:55] Hey, my sound decided to up and stop working today - I think after some updates. It still works fine in XP, though. No settings appear to have changed and I don't see anything that seems our of the ordinary. I'm using the onboard sound on an nforce 4 chipset. Any ideas? [02:55] cellofellow: "can't afford" and "actually paying for it" are two different things :) [02:56] makes sense, but I thought Castro liked linux. [02:56] has anyone ever had a nightmare where they deleted / ? [02:56] cellofellow, this is true - but NKorea is so insular that they haven't got on board out of fear for what might be in the source code [02:56] super61 : if you found it in Add/Remove it means it's ok install now and then play.... but as for the roms.. you're on your own... [02:56] cellofellow: that also goes for sound and any other drivers? [02:56] uncommon, now why would someone hate you for coming from the philippines? [02:56] Anyone have any favorite linux games? [02:56] uncommon: i didnt find one in Add/remove or the package i got it off the internet [02:56] ctothej: unless they are "userspace" drivers, they're in the kernel. [02:56] ctothej: a handful of Xorg drivers are in that category. [02:57] super61, sdlmame? [02:57] uncommon, if you were in Iran for instance, we might look at you twice, but not the Phillipines. Phillipinos live in australia [02:57] Niriven: warsow, warzone2100, frozen bubble. [02:57] astro76: hmm? [02:57] Is there a way to adjust screen brightness or gamma in KDE? [02:57] aolaus, i haven't had a nightmare about it, but i have done it before [02:57] cellofellow: ahh ok. thanks [02:57] AprilHare: apparently you'll be happy to know north korea, south korea, and china are joining together to create their own linux distro "hana linux" :) [02:57] super61, this is the one you should be using http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163 [02:57] super61 : my recommendation is... look in Add/Remove if didn't find what you're lookin for second would be "Synaptic" .. internet would be just your "Last Resort"... [02:57] I thought it was real, and I freaked [02:57] * cellofellow just uses aptitude [02:57] kitofhawaii, oooo evil linux (TM) :D [02:58] My resolution is doing weird things... Every time I log in, I have to use aticonfig -f --initial --resolution=0,1440x900 to reconfigure xorg.conf and then kill x-session-manager. It will then go to 1152x768 and I have to change it in displayconfig-gtk to get it to 1440x900, my desired res. It then works fine, but I have to repeat that every time I reboot. I'm using a 20" Intel iMac with an ATI Radeon x1600. [02:58] then somehow the dream transitioned to zombie apocalypse [02:58] uncommon: true... [02:58] astro76: how behind is mame in linux [02:58] HI [02:58] anyway [02:58] AprilHare " it's Filipinos" :D [02:58] AprilHare: which in korean...means (kinda) #1 linux. old style korean [02:58] chronic1, it is now an officially supported platform, vis-a-vis sdlmame http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163 [02:58] infinitycurcuit, did you see my responce? [02:58] chronic1, so not at all [02:58] uncommon, hey feel grateful i can type at all :D [02:58] spolvid, no i did not [02:58] Ah. [02:58] worthawholebean: is this a new thing, or always? [02:58] AprilHare : hehehehe greate community "linux"... [02:58] I don't know where to start, I said. [02:58] cellofellow, always [02:59] astro76: umm.. where can i download? [02:59] spolvid, do you have a ppc or intel architecture mac [02:59] intel. [02:59] cellofellow: will I be able to compile userspace modules after compiling the kernel and then install them as modules without recompiling the kernel? [02:59] super61, I linked it twice ^^ ;) [02:59] worthawholebean: ok, I was gonna suggest using the backup xorg.conf files (they worked for me.) [02:59] Hi All [02:59] lol [02:59] Running 10.4 [02:59] i know [02:59] ctothej: never heard of a userspace module. [02:59] the move to 10.5 has moved me to ubuntu [03:00] cellofellow: so ill have to recompile the kernel... [03:00] spolvid, in that case it's relatively simple [03:00] Ubuntu 710 noob here with a srious problem that I can replicate on three completely diffferent computers of completely different hardware. Wondering is will to help? [03:00] ctothej: you don't necessarily have to compile the kernel to match a module, but you do have to compile modules to match the kernel (that's what the header packages are for.) [03:00] astro76: is the psx2 eumator geting there for linux? [03:00] Sinpahltimus, tell us your tale of woe [03:00] cellofellow: right... ok [03:01] Yes? [03:01] spolvid, have you gone through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493393 [03:01] ctothej: did that answer your question? [03:01] Sinpahltimus, what is the problem? [03:01] Ah, no I have not. Thanks. [03:01] Sinpahltimus: yah what's breaking? [03:01] web videos freeze my computers. youtube, myspace etc... web based vids all freeze my systems running U7.10 [03:01] cellofellow: yes thanks [03:02] hello [03:02] what version of flash are you running Sinpahltimus [03:02] super61, dunno [03:02] Sinpahltimus: just Flash, or all videos in the browser (like Quicktime stuff)? [03:02] : there is pcx2 for linux.. but never tried it though... [03:02] astro76: ok [03:02] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree complains about a not-matching md5sum ... anyone else have this problem? [03:02] cellofellow: i just wanted to know if I could basically download the fuse-source, compile just that package into .deb and then install [03:02] uncommon: i guess thats where i come in :) if i get it working il let you know [03:02] Well, I have tried two different things. i don't know the version. I installed it once from the synoptics PM and twice via the pop up in mozilla. [03:02] hey all [03:03] ctothej: sure, as long as you've got the right headers for the kernel you'll be using. [03:03] im having trouble getting my ipod classic to work with amarok [03:03] some_idiot: there's an active confirmed bug report out right now. the repo's are having a problem (adobe just released a new flash player) [03:03] It seems the adobe flash player is not enough. After installing it, FF says I still need a plug in, so I have to install gnash also. [03:03] some_idiot, i discussed my issue in here earlier [03:03] cellofellow: that I do, as I am compiling it as we speak [03:03] Sinpahltimus: that ain't right. [03:03] : great.... let me know then so i could try it my box... [03:03] AprilHare: is it loged anywhere? [03:03] some_idiot, so everyone :) [03:03] Sinpahltimus: don't install through firefox [03:03] erm [03:03] errrm [03:03] hahahahahahahaha [03:03] not here [03:03] The I restart FF again and I don't get the plug needed notification but after several seconds FF Freezes then the entire computer freezes [03:04] uncommon: box as in xbox? [03:04] Sinpahltimus: the Adobe player is proprietary, buggy (but up to date). Gnash is FOSS, quality, but still Flash 7 compatible. [03:04] super61 : nope : box as in my linux box [03:04] Sinpahltimus: and you can only use one Flash plugin at a time. [03:04] hey someone use vlc mozilla plugins for playing stage6 video ? [03:05] uncommon: oh [03:05] Sinpahltimus: where's the symbolic link "flashplugin-alternative.so" linked to? under /usr/lib/firefox/plugins === narg_ is now known as narg [03:05] okay, so what is the current best fix for this? [03:05] (flash nonfree not wokring that is) [03:05] on two machines I tried via FF the thrd machine I installed the flash non-free via ubuntu package manager, mozilla still reported a missing plug in. Gnash seemed to clear that but the freeezes start. [03:06] I'm at a disadvantage because I do not have access to those computers right now. [03:06] : it's ok to use vlc plugin though i would recommend you to use MPlayer and the mplayer plugins for mozilla as it is much better in terms of streaming... because it's not streamed in buffers it also copies the file physically in your desk [03:06] Sinpahltimus: remove the adobe player (flashplugin-nonfree) and just use Gnash, and see if that helps. [03:06] ah well [03:06] Ok, I was here a couple of days ago and earlier today (the person who was helping me today left)...I had to remove cupsys because it gave me an error when I tried to install anything else....now I need to get cupsys installed and working again - I need to get my printer set up [03:06] i will switch back to mplayer [03:06] cellofellow - I will try that. [03:06] but i have problem with mplayer not having codecs [03:06] that is strange [03:07] neko: I like mplayer better as a browser plugin, and it will use any codec you throw at it. [03:07] not on mine because of some strange problem [03:07] I normally have VLC and MPlayer both. [03:07] but i have found a fix [03:07] But only mozilla mplayer plugin. [03:07] neko : you can't have both plugins for vlc/totem/mplayer installed because only one of them will work and the others will just confilicts the others like if you have vlc and totem plugins installed only totem play be used so if you want to use MPlayer's plugins remove the other except mplayer [03:08] this is probably a "are we there yet?" sort of question however: when will firefox 3 be released? [03:08] yep i know this [03:08] Can some one help me get a logitech rumble pad to work on the SNES emulators? When I use SNES9express and try to configure map buttons it says no such file or directory. [03:08] i was using mplayer plugins before [03:08] * NineTeen67Comet I'm still looking for the codec I can throw at mplayer/movie player/xine or vlc that will play some of my new DVD movies I got (Hairspray to name one)... I did ubuntu-restricted-extras with no avail .. [03:08] AprilHare: probably in time for Hardy. [03:08] sweet [03:08] cellofellow, when's that? :) [03:08] my problem with mplayer is way more strange [03:08] heh [03:08] brb - on phone with soeone who has access to one of the computers, gonna have him uninstall the flash and try again. [03:08] AprilHare: next release of Ubuntu. [03:08] as it don't found codecs folder or something like this [03:09] AprilHare:aprilhare: "estimated early 2008" [03:09] : i second that ... but i'm also excited for webkit based webbrowser for linux it's good to have a lot freedom of choice... [03:09] grin .. I'm installing Alpha 1 right now (server edition) .. [03:09] when i try playing some common divx files [03:09] neko: you try Medibuntu? You can get w32codecs and libdvdcss there. [03:09] Anyone? [03:09] !medibuntu | neko [03:09] neko: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:09] brb gotta run for a but [03:09] AprilHare: aka...wikipedia is your friend for future releases :) let someone else keep an eye on when things are coming out :) [03:10] : when i mean removed the other i mean the plugins only not the player VLC/Totem/MPlayer are good players so keep them in your box... [03:10] kitofhawaii, i thought that encyclopaedia had more uses than just for looking up star trek info :) [03:10] shadowblade: what's your issue. Sorry I missed it. [03:10] oh wait [03:10] AprilHare: with as much contention there is for "being first with the latest news" i find it's fairly reliable :) [03:10] if i am given a generic package for linux...how would i compile and install it? [03:11] is the w32codecs was remove recently from the main repository ? [03:11] frost0 : you have to have all the development libs and tools installed.... [03:11] neko, was never there, it's available in medibuntu [03:11] neko: if you mean recently by at the dapper release, yes. [03:11] neko, ah [03:11] hi, i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and its not picking up my lcd correctly. im stuck on 640 and everything is fuzzy. help? :) [03:11] cellofellow: I had to remove cupsys b/c it gave me an error whenever I tried to install anything else, now I need to get it install again [03:11] yep [03:11] uncommon, if you could take a look at the package...it might be special...idk [03:11] that what i mean [03:11] shadowblade: ok... [03:12] uncommon, link: http://hem.bredband.net/b400150/etswitch/etswitch-0.1.14.tar.gz [03:12] !medibuntu | neko [03:12] neko: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:12] cellofellow: cupsys gives me errors whenever i try to install it [03:12] cellofellow: forgot that part :) [03:12] that the reason of the strangeness [03:12] jed: try installing proprietary graphics card support [03:12] : im lookin at it now [03:12] uncommon, thx [03:12] shadowblade: try 'sudo aptitude purge cupsys' (and various other CUPS packages if needed) to remove configuration files. [03:12] okey that's it [03:13] aprilhare: i dont see that in add/remove applications [03:13] cellofellow: k done, try to install it now? [03:13] heres the strange part: it worked somewhat fine off the livecd, just stuck on 640 on the install [03:13] shadowblade: yeah, with install instead of purge on the command line [03:14] jed: nvidia or ati? [03:14] jed, thats not there - try system-administration-restricted drivers manager [03:14] frost0 : have u installed the libs and dev tools ? and u need xpm for this stuff... [03:14] you'll also need to include the restricted drivers as a installation source [03:14] uncommon, i guess we'll find out. [03:14] I'm trying to install Ubuntu, but I can't get my Vista machine to boot from the LiveCD, any answers? [03:14] talking about stream [03:14] uncommon, i just don't know where to begin...via the terminal [03:14] cellofellow: putting the output on pastebin.... [03:14] mplayer plugins is not seek capable ? [03:14] frost0 : awkie... i'll help with that === reconnect is now known as recon [03:14] neko: not with QuickTime. :( [03:15] [question] how can i install SSL for RubyGems? It says I don't have it installed [03:15] neko: annoying, huh? [03:15] with nothing you mean :) [03:15] frost0 : first you'll have to install the build essentials and some dev tools use synaptic... [03:15] yes a little, a lot [03:15] neko: works with everything but Qt for me, but that was feisty haven't tried Gutsy (my Gutsy laptop is clean except for the nvidia and flash stuff.) [03:15] uncommon, i can't do it via terminal? [03:15] aprilhare: "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" [03:16] uncommon, install those packages? [03:16] cellofellow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47490/ [03:16] jed: what brand? ati? nvidia? [03:16] jed, well then you are beyond my help [03:16] cello: ati mobility 7500 [03:16] jed: not mine I bet [03:16] What do I do with a binary after I download it? [03:16] frost0 : it would be good to use synaptic because there are many libs and dev tools required would you rather type them in manually? [03:16] cello: i think its picking up the video card just fine, its the lcd thats having probs [03:16] jed: install the fglrx package from synaptic manually. [03:16] i mean by seek not only move in part of a movie already downloaded , i mean also move in part of the stream not yet loaded [03:16] !ati | jed [03:16] jed: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:16] SpeakerMania, it depends... what is that binary intended for? [03:16] uncommon, if possible...i have had problems with synaptic lately. === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer [03:16] frost0: You can do it from terminal, via apt-get or aptitude [03:17] It is a program. HandBrake. [03:17] neko: what media player can do that? [03:17] uncommon, its having some issues with firehol [03:17] uncommon, idk why...maybe something to do with gutsy.. [03:17] cello: ok, checking that out [03:17] SpeakerMania, you usually run programs with "./name_of_binary" from a console... double-clicking on it on X [03:17] frost0: aptitude has a GUI (curses) mode, as well as a proper CLI mode. apt-get is CLI only [03:17] windows media player ? media player classic [03:17] frost0 : did you made a fresh install or upgrade from feisty to gutsy? [03:18] uncommon, upgrade (wince) [03:18] uncommon: do you have AIM? [03:18] for most of video stream the head of the file containing specification of how read the stream is necessarry [03:18] : ym only and skype [03:18] neko: sounds weird. How can a player play something it hasn't download? [03:18] J2K, ah. Thanks. :) [03:18] I have a friend coing on shortly, he is on a laptop that freezes when running youtube videos, i had him uninstall the adobe player and try again, still crashes laptop. He'll be on shortly as PNZ [03:18] uncommon [03:18] uncommon: [03:18] i mean not load the whole file to read only the end [03:18] grr [03:18] super61 : yes... [03:19] uncommon: ok [03:19] shadowblade: something looks odd with libdns [03:19] cello: my video card doesnt meet the requirements for binary drivers. they're saying that i need ati 9500+ for it, i only have a 7500 [03:19] jed: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide i always direct people there (it's very thorough) [03:19] : i'll try my best to help you with your prob bu i cannot gurantee things will work though... [03:19] cellofellow: ok? [03:19] have a look of how youtube (recently) handle video seeking [03:19] jed: then you'll just have to use the free radeon driver. [03:19] notice that not all format can handle this way of stream vido [03:20] neko: last time I checked still had to wait for the stream to load before it could be played. Maybe it's just my slow connection. [03:20] : still there? [03:20] neko: I wouldn't expect a lot of containers to support this. Ogg, ASF maybe. [03:20] ues [03:21] ? [03:21] yes [03:21] I'm getting this error whenever I try to install anything: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47491/ I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling openoffice, but can't get the error to go away. Any ideas? [03:21] neko: you got two kinds of multimedia formats: containers and streams. Ogg is a container, Vorbis is a stream. AVI is a container, MPEG-4 is a stream. MP3 is a stream that can work within or without a container. [03:22] can I somehow get a list of the users created by programs like apache and mysql etc.? === Thecks_ is now known as Thecks [03:22] BubblegumTate: like maybe open /etc/passwd ? [03:22] opps wrong channel [03:22] : still interested to compile your package?

[03:23] uncommon, sorry phone [03:23] Hey, how would I go about enabling 3D graphics for 7.10? [03:23] <`blackmk4> what would cause ubuntu to detect my wifi card but not see any networks? [03:23] captmorgan: turn off effects..add desktops...turn effects back on [03:23] captmorgan: just a sec... [03:23] uncommon, i understand there is a risk...let's do it though.. [03:23] `blackmk4, that probably means it's missing the firmware [03:24] <`blackmk4> what is missing the firmware? [03:24] mnemonica: have you gone through the link on fixing !res [03:24] thanks guys about the medibuntu trick [03:24] : ok [03:24] captmorgan: or install compizconfig-settings-manager and it's in General -> Desktop Size. [03:24] cellofellow: so what do i do? i tried reinstalling libdns with synaptic just now, then tried installing cupsys again, still didnt work [03:24] my mplayer work again :) [03:24] Jack_Sparrow: I don't even know what that is.

[03:26] hello [03:26] coshx: dosent look bad other than that jedit stuff.. I have seen issues with people that used it before [03:26] yahoo work on ubunto [03:27] Jack_Sparrow: Didn't do anything. [03:27] shadowblade: I'm not really sure what to do though. [03:27] pindoelive, yahoo messenger? [03:27] ya [03:27] !dosentwork [03:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about dosentwork - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:27] !doesntwork [03:27] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:27] pindoelive, sudo apt-get install pidgin [03:27] be for u too [03:27] cellofellow: is there another way i can use a printer without cupsys? [03:27] : lemme check what other tools are needed [03:27] uncommon, didn't work...this error: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [03:27] Errors were encountered while processing: [03:27] firehol [03:27] Jack_Sparrow: the jedit stuff should be commented out. [03:27] Thanks... [03:27] SOLIAM - Welcome. Try explaining the youtube issue to folks here I'm sure someone can help you. Remember if you try to watch youtube again it will crash you and kick you from here so be careful [03:27] whats the easiest way to open ftp in ubuntu? is there a way with nautilus? [03:27] no thre other chat [03:27] shadowblade: there's the antiquated ways I've never tried. [03:27] shadowblade: what type of printer? sorry if asking something redundant. i've been washing laundry [03:27] Could anybody please help me out? I just formatted a HD to EXT3, init 6 the box, and fdisk is still showing it as a NTFS/HPFS. [03:27] does anybody know how to get good Chinese fonts [03:28] coshx: yes, but you probably installed it which was the problem the other guy had === xp_prg is now known as xp_gone [03:28] hey guys [03:28] ]not x chat but [03:28] coshx: YOu might try purging oo and then trying to reload [03:28] frost0 : you definitely have problems with synaptic .. can you do pastebin your errors if there are any? [03:28] how can I have Ubuntu in french? Before installing,. I was told I'd be able to have one user have a french-language Ubuntu. [03:28] uncommon, certainly [03:28] pindoelive, pidgin is a program that supports many im protocols, yahoo, aim, msn, etc [03:28] only irc works now [03:28] cellofellow: unfortunately its a dell printer (it was a gift - works really well in windows, unfortunately windows sucks at life) [03:28] coshx: have you installed much manually that you got off the internet? [03:28] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think my upgrade to gutsy from feisty ever completed, which might have something to do with it? (computer overheated when it said I still had 3 hours left). I've updated all the packages I can, but that only took about 5 minutes. [03:28] lordlimec: yea.... ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx: should work fine [03:29] is there someone who knows why Ubuntu Mozilla locks up when you attempt to look at videos on youtube?? [03:29] shadowblade: what model dell? [03:29] shaowblade: Bet it works great with CUPS if you can get it working. [03:29] sorry last message @ kitofhawaii [03:29] they hack windows [03:29] Jack_Sparrow: no, other than the issue upgrading, I've done everything through packages. [03:29] coshx: ugh.. yea.. that would do it.. [03:29] cellofellow, if you have problems with cups, it's unlikely you'll be able to get it work without cups, because it's much more difficult to configure. [03:29] uncommon, http://pastebin.com/d5e52fa2e [03:29] ports all open [03:29] Jack_Sparrow: any suggestions how to fix the issue, other than doing a fresh install? [03:29] sethk: not me, shadowblade. [03:29] in windows [03:29] ie [03:29] cellofellow, sorry, you answered him, I got confused. :) [03:29] kitofhawaii: all-in-one photo 966 - i just need the printer functionality right now, i can get scanning, etc later [03:29] whit paltalk [03:29] shadowblade, if you have problems with cups, it's unlikely you'll be able to get it work without cups, because it's much more difficult to configure. [03:29] SOLIAM - did ya get that? [03:30] shut down [03:30] is it just me or does kubuntu look a LOT like Windows? Is that done on purpose? [03:30] manad, it's just you [03:30] no sence [03:30] no get what?? [03:30] coshx: great choice.. but the overheating during the upgrade ...and crashing.. there is a way to -f for force things but I am way too tired to remeber it. [03:30] manad, there is a window manager, IceWM, that looks like windows [03:30] SOLIAM - Welcome. Try explaining the youtube issue to folks here I'm sure someone can help you. Remember if you try to watch youtube again it will crash you and kick you from here so be careful [03:30] manad, KDE looks nothing like windows. [03:30] frost0 : you have problems with firefol i can see that [03:30] manad, X has a wide variety of window managers, and thus look and feels. That's its beauty. [03:30] http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=terminalinkdeth0.png you're telling me this doesn't look almost identical to the Windows start menu? [03:31] manad, If you don't like KDE, there are lot's of others to try [03:31] manad: I've gotten XFCE (Xubuntu) to look exactly like Windows 98. [03:31] Jack_Sparrow: no problem, i'll just keep playing around. it's mostly working now anyway, and packages still install. [03:31] manad, yes, that's what I'm saying. [03:31] I've never used KDE, I just saw a screenshot on a Ubuntu page [03:31] coshx: from a term type man dpkg it might have info you can use [03:31] Well, if you ignore the Start menu is a little different. [03:31] the newubutoo dont in the new yahoo [03:31] frost0 : you have considered using firestarter when you realized you have problems with firehol? [03:31] Jack_Sparrow: thanks :) [03:31] np [03:31] wasn't criticizing or anything, I was just struck by the resemblance [03:31] When ever i attempt to view a video my system locks.. not when i enter the site but only when i try to view the video [03:31] cant log in [03:31] manad: only cause the main panel is on the bottom and the main menu is on the bottom left. Only resemblance. [03:31] uncommon, never use firehol..i just use firestarter [03:31] only irc [03:31] hey, I want to move my linux partition/drive over to another different sized partition/drive. What tools should I use to do this? [03:31] manad, besides which, so what? If you don't like it, there are eight other desktops available [03:32] cellofellow - Saliam is here and he is having the same youtube issue, he hs already uninstalled adobe and just using gnash with same freezing. [03:32] I was thinking\ about using rsync and then updating grub [03:32] does anyone here use gaim latex? [03:32] :/ [03:32] mikedep333: dd but you will need to do some serious editing for grub, fstab etc [03:32] I need help with Grub [03:32] finally git GNUMP3D to work! [03:32] this channel is too big, too many ppl, you can't even ask a question lol [03:32] compile new pagage [03:32] manad, but it certainly doesn't look much like my windows box. [03:32] seth, like I said, I wasn't criticizing. I've never even used KDE. [03:32] my be [03:32] does anyone here use gaim-latex? [03:32] jack_sparrow: yeah I can edit grub and fstab [03:32] Sinpahltimus: I'd try installing Flash manually from the Adobe website. [03:32] Sier, it can be noisy. Try #linuxhelp if you can't get anyone's attention here. [03:32] anything else I would need to edit? [03:32] too ask for captuer [03:32] frost0 : try "sudo aptitude remove firehol" [03:33] ice109: I played around with it a couple years ago. [03:33] for yahoo [03:33] shadowblade: that printer is listed by dell as "compatible" with linux [03:33] What would be the easiest way to do a automated backup of a windows folder to a Ubuntu server? [03:33] hi!, when i try to boot ubuntu i got a black screen (after selecting the kernel on the grub screen) and it gets stuck, is there any way i could fix it? or how could i diagnostice the problem? [03:33] coshx can you help me get it installed [03:33] mikedep333: I use dd to copy partitions see the link on backing up below [03:33] !backup [03:33] so [03:33] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [03:33] I can't boot into Ubuntu or Vista, someone here deleted my linux partition from Windows and now I can't boot into either OS [03:33] thanks [03:33] hello all, i'm having a problem. I install dnsmasq and modified the config so what when i go to "intranet" it will take to a local web server, when i do dig intranet it comes up right, but then when i try to do it in firefox it does a google search for it, how can i turn that off so it sends the dns request and does it like a website [03:33] ya [03:33] kitofhawaii: shadowblade: probably means compatible with CUPS (which is also on Mac OS X). [03:33] cellofellow - I was going to do that when I realized I completely forgot my linux terminal commands and could even navagate to the directory. I am going to try all that tomorrow morning after a refresher reading [03:33] kitofhawaii: well by default, doesnt it still need cups? [03:34] T70k5: boot your windows cd and fixmbr or fdisk /mbr [03:34] ice109: it's probably changed since I used it. I just installed it manually. I remember it being buggy and giving up on it. [03:34] knix_, share the windows folder from the windows machine, mount it on the ubuntu server, and create an rsync cron job to back it up how ever often you want it to [03:34] just boot into command prompt? [03:34] ivx: are you just using dnsmasq locally, not serving a network? [03:34] yes DOS prompt [03:34] MasterShrek, sounds easy enough. TY [03:34] yup [03:34] !fixmbr [03:34] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:34] hi can somebody help me install flock? [03:34] thanks! [03:34] :) [03:35] no NOT DOS prompt, UNIX shell == DOS prompt to the tenth power. [03:35] cellofellow, i have a server with dnsmasq and apache on my network, then 2 clients [03:35] np [03:35] goood night [03:35] shadowblade: well it is uhm...i dunno, i have found some pretty miserable workarounds to print to it :) [03:35] kitofhawaii: yea, their website has no linux drivers [03:35] uncommon: i have so errors on a make file is that ok or no? [03:35] cellofellow: what are you talking about [03:35] uncommon, removed it..now running previous script. [03:35] SALIAM - it seems the next thing to try is to uninstall gnash - then I will need to install the flash player download - the thing I was going to do when I realized I forgot how to do it. [03:35] uncommon, that one worked now. [03:35] uncommon, thx...now what? [03:35] kitofhawaii: what do you mean by miserable? [03:35] ivx: dnsmasq will automatically read the /etc/hosts file. Set the redirect in there. That's what I do. [03:35] cellofellow: what are you talking about [03:36] shadowblade: right. the engine is made by lexmark and lexmark doesn't make many consumer level print drivers [03:36] cellowfellow, could you explain that [03:36] frost0 : i manage to compile your etswitch look http://pastebin.com/d25c7cc0 is this a game or something? [03:36] gnite all. I'll follow up tomorrow [03:36] Jack_Sparrow: just that associating the shell with DOS puts a bad taste in peoples mouths so don't. [03:36] cellofellow: If you READ... he will be booting Windows disk to a DOS prompt [03:36] uncommon, a minimizer for the a game [03:36] uncommon, why? [03:37] astro76: can you help me install that one mame? [03:37] frost0 : i'm curious though for what it is for havent' read the readme file yet :D [03:37] ivx: in /etc/hosts, put a line like 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX intranet' and restart dnsmasq. [03:37] shadowblade: that printer might support a generic "PS" lexmark driver though. if you can get a generic PS driver to work in windows, try that in cups (there are a lot of lexmark generic drivers avail) [03:37] ich habbe eine frage [03:37] ivx: where all the X's are your servers IP address. [03:37] Hey guys, Somewhat new Ubuntu user here and I just set up 7.10 on my Dell E1505. I have everying working flawlessly except my wireless. It is able to scan and when I go to connect to my home wireless, I keep getting propmted over and over again for the WEP encryption key. I have entered it numerous times and I am positive that I am entering the correct key. Anyone have this problem or would know the steps to take to get it [03:37] working? [03:37] *habe [03:37] uncommon, so how do i install then :) [03:37] kitofhawaii: cups doesnt even install [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: sorry. [03:37] i need some help ppl, i have installed ubuntu and everything is working, how can i stop the hardware checks on boot as my hardware wont change, i want a faster boot :) [03:38] cellofellow: np.. just if you are going to correct someone.. you need to be right.. [03:38] frost0 : wait a sec lemme get the list of tools for you [03:38] travis, where are you entering the password ? [03:38] travis, can you live without wep? like mac filter [03:38] uncommon, alrighty then [03:38] Jack_Sparrow: how true. [03:38] well, its my rents house, so I dont know if that is gunna fly [03:38] shadowblade: well that could be a problem. i'm sorry i'm really slow at the moment so i missed the rest of the conversation [03:38] or possibly wpa. [03:38] I would have to talk to them [03:38] cellofellow: thanks for helping in channel [03:38] is something wrong with WEP? [03:38] kitofhawaii: no problem [03:38] shadowblade: so don't mind me if i ask if you could repeat the error you're getting installing cups? [03:38] it's really easy to crack for one [03:38] kitofhawaii: here is shadowblade's errors. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47490/ [03:39] travis, just to save yourself some trouble [03:39] cellofellow: I am in a bit of a mood... way too tired.. didnt mean to snap at you.. goodnight people [03:39] can somebody help me install flock (web browser) on ubuntu 7.10 [03:39] cellowfellow: thanks :) [03:39] !wep [03:39] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:39] danny: try getdeb.net [03:39] dli, I don't use mac filtering, but can't people see what you're doing online if all you're doing is mac filtering ? [03:39] VashTSPD: yup [03:39] shadowblade: hang on *reviewing the pastebin* [03:40] Danny: Check otu this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268273 [03:40] out* [03:40] kitofhawaii: ok [03:40] hi [03:40] VashTSPD, if wifi can leak it, you are already doomed [03:40] Well it really isn't my choice to use it, is there any way for me to connect to it? [03:40] ivx: did the /etc/hosts thing work? [03:40] also, they could just see what your mac address is, change their mac to that and they're on [03:40] frost0 : install the autotools, autoconf autotools-dev autogen libtool [03:41] VashTSPD, I don't understand why people would rely on wep for their security. no, not wep, use SSL [03:41] travis, do you use network-tools ? [03:41] travis: this site is great!!! They have deb files!!! THANKS!!!!! [03:41] frost0 : i forgot the make [03:41] Travis, I mean network-admin [03:41] uncommon, so what do i type? [03:41] shadowblade: did they have you try "sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/mime" before trying to install cups? [03:41] not a problem danny, A quick google search of "How to install flock on 7.10" brought that up [03:41] kitofhawaii: nope, ill try it now [03:41] hi everyone [03:41] * cellofellow is weird. Has a WPA network and an unencrypted network for the laptop with the legacy card and no encryption support. [03:42] no I dont use that, just the network manager in the top right corner is all I've been using [03:42] frost0 : those things but if your synaptic is workin now maybe you could try it === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip [03:42] well, open a terminal and type sudo network-admin [03:42] Can anyone help me, my labtop's cpu fan doesn't turn on [03:43] sounds like a real bugger there remote_matrix [03:43] ok, my mistake, yes I've used that [03:43] VashTSPD well, its weird the CPU fan goes on when turn it on but right before grub it turns off [03:43] move to minnesota? it's cold enough here you don't need a cpu fan.. [03:43] kitofhawaii: with cupsys removed, that folder already exists...contains a file "pstoraster.convs" [03:43] lol I live in toronto, canada its no difference [03:43] but on my lap... now thats a problem [03:43] cellofellow: thanks !!!! [03:44] travis, what doesnt work when you try to connect ? [03:44] kitofhawaii: other folders in /usr/share/cups are charmaps, charsets and locale [03:44] VashTSPD: It's not that cold - it's 9 degrees F right now, not even below zero yet. [03:44] its keeps prompting me for the WEP key over and over again [03:44] uncommon: ill work on emulator if your on again ill tell you peace everyone and thanks for the help [03:44] uncommon, done [03:44] frost0 : done installing it? "sudo aptitude install thepackaname otherPackage name and so on delimited by space" [03:45] I cant figure it out, the CPU fan should turn on after too much heat automatically but it doesn't and my CPU crashes often [03:45] frost0: good now open terminal and go to to etswitch folder and if you havent you have to unpack it first [03:45] kitofhawaii: charmaps has a bunch of .txt's in it, charsets has a bunch of files starting with iso and no extensions, locale has a bunch of folders with language codes [03:46] Q. i was wondering if anyone in here knew anything about cpanel for ubuntu or plek? [03:46] Sometimes when I try to start audacious I get a beep and a message that says 'disabling IRQ whatever' this usually kills my internet too. Can I fix this? [03:46] plesk [03:46] how much swap is recommended with a core2 duo and 2GB of ram? 4gb? [03:46] frost0: i forgot you have to install libgd2-xpm and libgd2-xpm-dev [03:46] is it supported well in ubuntu, because i want to run my own server from home :) [03:46] beerfan, 2 gig is fine [03:46] beerfan, you really don't need any swap, it's just tradition more than anything [03:46] yeah [03:46] frost0: sorry so many packages can't seem to remember [03:47] with that much u dont relly need any swap [03:47] uncommon, done [03:47] thanks. I'm used to systems with less ram ;-) [03:47] shadowblade: i'm trying to review that stack check failure right now...it's a g++ error [03:47] uncommon, no prob...your the one doing the work :) [03:47] kitofhawaii: ok [03:47] Does anyone know why an image created in GIMP in Linux would look darker when viewed from WinXP? I checked the monitors with a couple full-screen colorings, and they seem to be calibrated to eachother... [03:47] is there a channel in freenode that deals with security/network related? [03:47] adamonline, is it png? [03:48] green_tea: No, it's actually .gif... [03:48] beerfan, not much [03:48] maybe 256 mb ? [03:48] shadowblade: which source package do you have installed? [03:48] green_tea: I'm so bummed, my first image in GIMP and I love the app! [03:48] shadowblade: also are you running 64 bit or 32 bit kernel? [03:48] beerfan, there is a myth that the amount of swap has something to do with the amount of real memory. This has been nonsense for at least 15 years. [03:48] uncommon, k now what..i'm in the directory [03:49] uncommon, via terminal [03:49] kitofhawaii: 32 bit [03:49] beerfan, It was true with minicomputers in 1985, but it's totally irrelevent now [03:49] adamonline45, i know that windows likes to use hidden data in png files to try to match colors, but i don't think that's the case with gif [03:49] frost0: now go to your etswtich folder using terminal and type this "./configure" then press enter read the result carefully and take note for the missing libs if configure successfully configured all the scripts to build it will show somthing like these if it is successful http://pastebin.com/d25c7cc0 [03:49] sorry im new ta irc...does anyone now how i could get inta the #edubuntu room? im using xchat... [03:49] i always put 512mb swap partion on all my hd's just in case I ever use a live cd. :) they niormnally can find/use it.. [03:49] green_tea: Hmm... Oh well. I guess I'll... Draw my stuff lighter 8) heheh [03:49] sethk, I'm sure it has a lot to do with particular usage. double the ram was just a guideline [03:50] Q. My CPU Fan doesn't turn on whatsoever, it works right before grub but doesn't turn on at all and it causes my CPU to crash any ideas? [03:50] emmet, do /join #edubuntu [03:50] beerfan, no, it isn't just a guideline, it's utter complete nonsense [03:50] future OS with the same amount of RAM might well need much more swap [03:50] onats, there's #ns&h (network security and hacking) but that's in moo.slashnet.org [03:50] I have DVI double link on my graphics card, I suppose it is safe to use 18+1 single linked cable with that? [03:50] beerfan, if you put 32 meg in, would you make your swap 64 meg? [03:50] sorry adamonline45...can't find anything online either, but i don't think it's gimp's fault [03:50] vashtspd, ok thanks, will connect to that server..:) [03:51] sethk, if my apps run out of ram, well yes [03:51] uncommon, exact same as yours [03:51] or much more [03:51] adamonline45, im not sure about that problem it has never happened to me [03:51] uncommon, now what? [03:51] beerfan, there is no logical or rational basis for such an idea or rule. [03:51] howdy. [03:51] beerfan, or much more, that I can agree with. :) [03:51] : type "make" [03:51] when i try to isntall my nvidia drivers, i get this error : ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root [03:51] How do i make myself admin? [03:51] Spzatt, sudo -i [03:51] like I said, swap is dependant upon your particular usage [03:51] Ive got some hardcore networking questions if anybody is feeling especially helpful tonight.

[03:52] adamonline45, it could be not sure though [03:52] hi my system wont upgrade anymore [03:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47496/ [03:53] any help appreciated [03:53] uncommon, install [03:53] worked before :/ [03:53] shadowblade: the problem's related to apparmor...can you check to see if you have "apparmor-profiles" (i'm assuming gutsy) [03:53] frost0 : sorry there's no test configured for etswtich so your only option is to install so do this "sudo make install" and you're done [03:53] guys need a little help here .... please ... i've installed gutsy desktop. after a while the network card stops comunications and only with reboot works again it's doing this constantly. so I removed gnome-network-manager and installed wicd that is a substitute 4 the 1st one. but can't configure as a client in a w|nd0ws domain :( [03:53] kitofhawaii: how exactly would i check that? sorry [03:53] shadowblade: sudo apt-get install apparmor-profiles [03:54] anyone know of a command line copy program that will show copy progress etc .. other than mc? [03:54] kitofhawaii: ok...it looked like it installed something [03:54] what's the op/admin channel in freenode? [03:54] tehlam3, did you add any repositories or anything other than offical stuff? [03:54] kitofhawaii: need the full output? [03:54] BSG75-> scp shows progress [03:54] bulmer: thanks [03:54] shadowblade: naw...as long as it installed something. [03:55] kitofhawaii: ok, try to install cupsys again? [03:55] shadowblade: try installing cups again...and then if that doesn't work, we'll temporarily disable apparmor [03:55] kitofhawaii: ok [03:55] im getting this error : ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [03:55] installing.

[03:56] sethk buddy are you out there? [03:56] Spzatt, ctrl+alt+f1 log in, and do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (run the same command when you are done with the nvidia installer except use start instead of stop) [03:56] astro76, thanks [03:56] frost0 : no problemo amigos [03:56] X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [03:56] Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) [03:56] Resource id in failed request: 0x3000007 [03:56] Serial number of failed request: 13 [03:56] Current serial number in output stream: 15 [03:56] shadowblade: reload the apparmor profiles and try again "sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload" [03:56] please help me [03:56] tehlam3, it sounds like you caught apt in the middle of a configuration process, which is making it mess up now [03:56] try 'sudo aptitude purge libpam-runtime' [03:57] then reinstall it [03:57] did ypu mean me ? [03:57] whoops, 'sudo aptitude --purge remove libpam-runtime [03:57] kitofhawaii: same errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47497/ [03:57] green_tea you meen me ?

[03:59] graphically [03:59] oh [03:59] nwn question. I've downloaded the installer from http://icculus.org/~ravage/nwn/, i've chmod'd it +x, and when I run it, it says Verifying Archive Integrity - All Good, then says Uncompressing NWN 1.29 for linux, then nothing happens, I just go back to the prompt [03:59] i use imagemagic myself [03:59] but this is for my "linux challenged" room mate [03:59] kitofhawaii: same - it says its reloading the apparmor profiles in the output still [03:59] * magick [03:59] botoxx, are you running wine? [03:59] imagemagick ftw [03:59] yes geen tea [03:59] gimp ? [04:00] it's so big for just resizing though [04:00] shadowblade: well...ok first "sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor kill" then "sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove" [04:00] uncommon, i installed vmware a while back and gave a partition to it....i decided i want my space back...how would i go about doing that? [04:00] need a lil help [04:00] VashTSPD, maybe but it's installed by default [04:00] frost0, find where the virtual machine's hard drive was and delete it [04:00] botoxx, i'm guessing it's a wine issue...what game are you trying? [04:01] shadowblade: to put it back afterwards "sudo update-rc.d apparmor start 37 S ." [04:01] abc, whats up? [04:01] MasterShrek, via fdisk or somethign? [04:01] Guild Wars [04:01] shadowblade: (after trying to install cups again that is) [04:01] kitofhawaii: so do i leave it off for now? [04:01] holy crap,. hello all, man this wasnt too bad at all to install, [04:01] my update manager is giving me an error [04:01] Can someone please help me, my CPU fan doesn't turn on [04:01] Don't know if anyone can help with this "odd@ problem. I have two sound cards on my PC - one onboard and one added card. For some reason, and with no reason, under ubuntu - the sound source will switch between this cards :/. An odd problem. Under windows if this happened - not that it did - i would simply uninstall /disable the onboard sound card. Is there a way of doing this under ubuntu? [04:01] kitofhawaii: sry, didnt see that most recent message [04:01] frost0, no, just find the file, you shold be able to find out where vmware is storing them in vmware's preferences or something [04:01] botoxx, i know that game works (i have it), so i have no idea what that error means, sorry [04:02] Iggz, see if you can disable it in the BIOS [04:02] frost0 : sorry can't help u with that as I haven't been using vmware for quite a while now... but i believe there should be a tool for that included [04:02] hey folks [04:02] shadowblade: yah leave it off for now, so we can see for sure if it's apparmor that's blocking it (possible you're getting a cups that's not conforming to the apparmor profiles) [04:02] Iggz, find otu exactly what kind of card it is, and figure out which kernel module is being used for it, then do sudo rmmod [04:02] I want to limit what my torrent box can download during the day because I'm using australian broadband! [04:02] astro76. Thanks - you know I didn't think of that lol. [04:03] wow neverwinter.... [04:03] i need help with installing my nvidia, anyone? [04:03] MasterShrek, i deleted the application..yet the space is still there [04:03] i need help my update manager is giving me an error [04:03] Is there any way to limit a ethernet devices' incoming rate on a schedule? [04:03] kitofhawaii: ok, got the same thing and it still reloaded the apparmor profiles [04:03] kitofhawaii: this is really weird [04:03] No longer a sudoer, How to recover? [04:03] quik__: just use a torrent client that has scheduling features [04:04] mastershrek. Interesting. How would I find out which kernal was responsible?. Sorry, still very new around here [04:04] beerfan: no go. I'm using torrentflux so that I have a web interface [04:04] Authentication failure [04:04] ? [04:04] shadowblade: yah...fun, isn't it :) i dunno it looks like apparmor's the problem. it's not liking the cupsys package you're getting off the repo [04:04] quik__: then write a script... [04:04] jc, logon to root and use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers? [04:04] Iggz, well, lsmod will give you a list of currently loaded modules, lsmod | grep snd should narrow it down quite a bit [04:05] nuvan: How do I logon as root? [04:05] beerfan: how would one go about it? [04:05] kitofhawaii: so...any more ideas? [04:05] MasterShrek. Thank you :-0 [04:05] * ;-) [04:05] quik__: no idea. I'd just find a client which does what I need without the extra work. [04:05] hi, ubuntu noob here [04:05] nuvan: Some sort of "safe mode" ? [04:05] how do I get synaptic to update its version listing? [04:06] EdBoy, whats up? [04:06] beerfan: you have a pretty defined opinion considering your knowledge is limited [04:06] Reboot into a "safemode"? or something of the sort? [04:06] jc, easiest probably to hit CTRL+ALT+F1, then just give root as the username. password should be the password set on your first user account [04:06] yeah [04:06] EdBoy, hit the update button [04:06] it says pidgin is still 2.2.1, but it's not === onats is now known as onats_ [04:06] EdBoy, what is it? [04:06] !info pidgin [04:06] pidgin: graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1 (gutsy), package size 589 kB, installed size 1720 kB [04:07] yeah [04:07] it's at 2.3.1 [04:07] my update manager is giving me an error, can someone help? [04:07] so they just never updated it? [04:07] quik__: it's not "exactly" no idea. If bittornado (the torrentflux back-end) supports bw limiting then you'd write a cron job which kills the process and restarts it with different options [04:07] on pidgins website it is [04:07] they just havent built a new ubuntu package of it i spose [04:07] quik__: but that's just a guess [04:07] you could build one yourself if you wanted to, but its probably not that big of a deal [04:07] I don't know how to build it [04:07] that's the issue [04:07] kitofhawaii: good idea to try the 1.4 version of cups or not? === onats_ is now known as onats [04:08] its probably more hassle than what its worth, if it works now why try to break it? [04:08] well [04:08] it freezes all the time [04:08] how do i open terminal as root? [04:08] abc: open the root terminal? [04:08] abc, sudo -s [04:08] shadowblade: eh you can...which linux headers do you have installed btw? [04:08] that too I suppose [04:08] changes to root.. [04:08] how do i find out what's using my sound card? [04:08] !root [04:08] 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 [04:08] anyone here know why the graphical NWN installer from http://icculus.org/~ravage/nwn/ would appear to work, not give any error messages, but completely fail to do anything? [04:08] kitofhawaii: sorry dunno what you mean by that :) [04:09] EdBoy, well first you need the build-essential package, so oyu have compilers for it [04:09] shadowblade: open synaptic do a search for "linux-headers" === efer is now known as Ashfire908 [04:09] * uncommon is away: be right back [04:09] masterloki: got it [04:09] er [04:09] EdBoy, also get the source package for pidgin off their website, and remove the piddign package from your install: sudo apt-get remove pidgin [04:09] thank you all [04:09] MasterShrek: [04:09] got it [04:09] okay [04:09] shadowblade: i noticed it was throwing back "i386" in your pastebin...so i'm curious [04:10] Can i jsut say that "Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password." is the most zen stament I have ever heard. is ubotu a ZEN bot? [04:10] grag [04:10] kitofhawaii: 2.6.22-14.46 ?that right [04:10] I don't even get what it needs from my ubuntu disk... sigh [04:10] how do you find out if your nickname is currently used and how do you set the password? This is for freenode. [04:10] Sorry, couldn't resist [04:10] * Iggz leave the room quickly, Yodo in tow [04:10] EdBoy, after you decompress the source tarball open a terminal, cd to the folder and run: ./configure [04:11] amarok can't play audio right now, xine says device is busy. how do i find out what's controlling my sound device?

[04:42] onats: where in ubuntu you just get precompiled programs [04:42] broken, i see... [04:42] first linux I ever installed, and the onyl one Im comfortable with. [04:42] thanks appreciate it.... [04:42] Chumby: oh, i see... that is reasonable. My next inclination is to look at xorg.conf. [04:42] hey, I have a glib error, but when I try and apt-get glib, it says it cant find the package... I cant ,/configure anything though, says its missing, and to top it off I have the build essentials package installed [04:42] ashfire908, so what would be the advantage if each program is compiled..? [04:42] kitofhawaii: its asking me the kind of printer? or supply a ppd file? === izprince is now known as izanbardprince [04:42] HeatMzzr: there is always a good amount that is supported but with computers nothing is 100% certain except have a change to mess up ;p [04:42] invisible_ubuntu: how would I figure my refresh rates and stuff [04:42] yea ubuntu is hot [04:42] evfan42: that is listed in your users manual or found on our monitor website after some digging [04:42] thanks jackaesop - how do i do that from the terminal? [04:43] onats: it runs faster, but compiling requires the computer to build the programs from source which can be slow. [04:43] They are built for your specific architecture though. [04:43] Ashfire908, true and when i had gentoo the compiling was so slow i switched back to ubuntu [04:43] So in theory they should run faster. [04:43] shadowblade: did your printer show up? [04:43] ashfire908, alright.. no need for that now for me then... [04:43] But speed isn't an issue with modern computers. [04:43] Chumby: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:43] There are bins for the large packages. [04:43] kitofhawaii: yea...but now its asking me what kind [04:44] firefox, open office. Its not only a source based distro... [04:44] shadowblade: this is where there's a bit of art... [04:44] Chumby: that will let you edit the file, but I hate to send you in there without any specifics. I just can't really guess whats going on with out looking at that file. [04:44] ok jack - am in now. What next? [04:44] kitofhawaii: heh [04:44] shadowblade: you can try some of the generic PCL5 drivers [04:44] broken not everyone has the cpu power to do that. [04:44] chumby: here are some useful things for trouble shooting... [04:44] yeeks.. im in [04:44] Chumby: oh, great [04:44] Ashfire908, what exactly? [04:45] broken, compile. [04:45] shadowblade: at least from what I know about lexmarks, they tend to be PCL friendly [04:45] kitofhawaii: the options in the given list ar Dell M5200 Foomatic/Postscript and Dell S2500 Foomatic/Postrcipt [04:45] I downloaded the sqlite-doc package, but I can't seem to find where it installed to... [04:45] Ashfire908, Hey, the effects, could it be because it shows that both graphics cards, integrated and my radeon, are both on? [04:45] hdevalence: "dpkg -K sqlite-doc" [04:45] I don't know how you got that from what I said, but ok. [04:45] hdevalence: sorry that was wrong "dpkg -L " [04:45] Chumby: jump down to the device section. there might be two since you have two cards installed [04:45] godemonite, huh? [04:46] shadowblade: unfortunately since we don't have an exact driver, it's a throw a few bricks at it until something works kind of thing [04:46] godemonite, if effects are set and show as off, they are off. [04:46] kitofhawaii: ok [04:46] Ashfire908, ok, sorry [04:46] all I see on the screen is a blank editor - Nano? No code in there at all... [04:46] kitofhawaii: what would a ppd file be? [04:47] broken: if i understand right you don't really even get a kernel [04:47] Chumby: oh, we must have opend the wrong file. the unix file system is case sensitive, so be sure you typed it in exactly [04:47] hey how do you get glib? I have build essential installed, but when I try and ./configure it says its missing, and when I try apt-get it says it cant find it [04:47] What? [04:47] problem im stuck with a command line for grub need to get back to os any suggestions? [04:47] hi whats a good IRC client for ms dos? [04:47] shadowblade:description of what your printer can handle [04:47] whereswaldo: install libglib1.2 and libglib1.2-dev [04:47] shadowblade: is it asking for one? [04:48] dopievoli, i think you may want to google for that..... [04:48] krammer, startx [04:48] i get a seg fault intermittently with gcc "The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem." using 7.10 gutsy, gcc 4.1.3. it says its a hardward problem...is this true do you think? maybe corrupted memory? has anyone else been he bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.getting this when upgrading to gutsy? any other suggestions? [04:48] dopievoli: what?? Dos? yeah, not quite the right channel [04:48] broken: i was told by my friend you have to compile the kernel as well as programs [04:48] kitofhawaii: no it was just an option at the last page [04:48] Ashfire908, you mean installing gentoo? Depends how you do it. Live CD or CLI install. The CLI method is considered better, as it actually works and you learn more. [04:48] unreconnized [04:48] But yea yo pull in the kernel sources and compile it. [04:48] After you've done a few its a piece of cake. [04:48] hey thanks [04:48] krammer, do you have a windows manager [04:48] broken: i could never do that here lol i have dial-up [04:49] :( [04:49] i have grub> thats it [04:49] watch u c is all i have [04:49] * broken rememebers living on dial up for 8 years.. [04:49] ok jack - sorry about that - I am in there now [04:49] * broken shudders [04:49] Chumby: ok, cool [04:49] Chumby: jump down to the bottom of the file. [04:50] !world of warcraft [04:50] broken: lol yeah, parents didn't get dsl at home until after I graduated from college, I HATED visiting home from college :) Wasn't able to install any linux till freshman year really due to that :-( [04:50] krammer, when you restart the machine it doesnt boot to a gui windows manager [04:50] shadowblade: mind you those two dell drivers are only monochrome... [04:50] nope [04:50] durr, how did i get that wow support site again? [04:50] yep... down there now [04:50] Hehe bummer. [04:50] just grub> [04:50] Chumby: you should see some device sections that describe your cards, after that, a section screen that describes wich card to use [04:50] kitofhawaii: wow thats great [04:50] Chumby: is the default screen using the right video card [04:50] shadowblade: did it print? [04:51] kitofhawaii: not yet - im trying the 2nd driver [04:51] kitofhawaii: 1st one didnt work [04:51] anyone know how to get MSN to work on ubuntu ? [04:51] hey all, I have a quick question. I am trying to install ubuntu server 6.01 (i believe) but I need to install with the vga=771 deal, how do I enter that in? [04:51] krammer, so you have no gdm installed correct? sudo apt-get install gdm [04:51] shadowblade: i'm not really surprised...its really hit or miss here with lexmark [04:51] Spzatt, msn messenger? [04:51] hi all - I have a question... I was wondering, how and if, I am running the core2duo @ it's max... I found out that by running "cat /proc/interupts" I could see the activity of each cpu... one has be doing loads (cpu0) but the other (cpu1) only has a batch of zeros... anyone got any hints? [04:51] Spzatt: msn messenger? [04:52] soldats: messed up somewhere but deleting a partition also in my bios ide hard drice is not present [04:52] kitofhawaii: yea, 2nd one isnt working either, should i try telling it its a lexmark printer instead of dell? [04:52] lol, sorry shrek, didnt see ur response [04:52] shadowblade: the workaround i've seen a lot is 1) install vmware 2) install a winxp vm 3) install the printer in the vm (map the usb to it) and share 4) map your linux box to the share (now that's ugly) [04:52] does update-alternatives --set java {path} also change the java-plugin for firefox? [04:52] I'm offically running my dual core 3.2ghz stable. [04:52] yep .. I just see one device, monitor, screen... [04:52] shadowblade: yah you can try the lexmark drivers. i'm not sure which it is, but dell is an oem'd lexmark printer [04:52] !core2 [04:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about core2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:53] Chumby: and it's the intel? [04:53] kitofhawaii: ive still got vista dual booted...i suppose i can just boot into that hen i need to print [04:53] Device = Intel [04:53] I have a question about install of Ubuntu 7.10 [04:53] !ask [04:53] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:53] krammer, your problem seems to be pretty messed up, if you only have grub and want a gui windose manager get "gdm" or is it too late to reinstall the linux OS ans install the window manager [04:53] michaelpatterson: just ask =) [04:53] kitofhawaii: well thanks a lot for all of your help [04:54] i tried booting into xp and fedora [04:54] shadowblade: yah...well, there you go. print to a pdf file, save it to your vista partition and print there...but really you should fix cups right :) this might've been a lot easier with it installed and not broken (we get more options) [04:54] keeps going back to grub> [04:54] Chumby: you may need to specify another driver to use with that card, you might search on the specific model with google, crossed with linux... [04:54] shadowblade: sorry i couldn't get you further [04:54] kitofhawaii: i can play around with the different cups drivers [04:54] If I am dual-booting Ubuntu with Vista, during the Ubuntu "Ready to Install" window, should I be worried if 'Windows Vista' doesn't show up under Migration Assistant? [04:54] krammer: you keep trying to select a choice at grub and none of them load a OS? [04:54] Chumby: something else we can do is fire up the X server and look at the logs to see what goes on... [04:55] kitofhawaii: you help a lot, thanks [04:55] michaelpatterson, not really, you can always add it to grub later [04:55] anyone else freeze up constantly in gutsy? [04:55] shadowblade: yw...good luck with it :) [04:55] krammer, hmm that may be beyond me right now since im extremely tired [04:55] SeabassTKE, probably overheating [04:55] ok thanks [04:55] Chumby: switch to the second Virtual terminal and type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:55] i don't think so [04:55] ok... it does give an error messgae.. X server did not start - EDID was not installed... [04:56] i *think* i got it kevin, but we'll see [04:56] jack... how do I get to the 2nd terminal? [04:56] Chumby: edid? what is that? [04:56] i keep an eye on temps and no warnings or anything [04:56] Chumby: oh, ctrl-f2 [04:56] ?Since i installed ubuntu 7.10 I can no longer access my hotmail account with evolution, is this a coincidence? [04:56] MasterSkrek: Its not going to like overwrite my Vista install or anything like that? [04:56] no idea jack... will do that jack [04:56] michaelpatterson, as long as you make sure you know what you are doing at the partitioner step [04:56] Chumby: you have virtual terminals from f1-f6, f7 is the graphical server. [04:57] that and my laptop still feels reasonably cool [04:57] invisible_ubuntu: alright I found a pdf of the manual, and I found the refresh rates, now how do I update with those? [04:57] hmmm not working jack cntrl f2 does nothing [04:57] Chumby: oh, i think it's alt-f2, and ctl-alt-f# when running X, sorry [04:57] MasterSkrek: let me get to that step, and I'll ask you what's up [04:57] if that works? [04:58] Chumby: it's funny, once your fingers learn it, the brain forgets. [04:58] sure [04:58] evfan42: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf === [r00723r0] is now known as r00723r0 [04:58] evfan42: that will get you in your xorg config file.. go to the bottom where it talks about what Resolutions/refresh for your monitor and out it in there.. [04:58] alright [04:58] jack.. I do alt f2 and all I get is a flashing cursor top of screen [04:59] ?Since i installed ubuntu 7.10 I can no longer access my hotmail account with evolution, is this a coincidence? [04:59] uncommon, my friend is installing ubuntu as we speak..(w00t)...and is trying to commit 6gb to the install [04:59] Chumby: really? same for all the virtual terminals? [04:59] evfan42: looking for this Section "Monitor" [04:59] frost0, i woulda told him to use more than 6 gigs [04:59] lol, i remember having so many probs with graphics [04:59] MasterShrek, that is all he has [04:59] MasterShrek, he just wants to goof around and maybe play one game [04:59] ic [05:00] anyone mastered getting freenx working in ubuntu? [05:00] MasterShrek, nothing serious [05:00] i'm getting authentication errors [05:00] all... if I hit alt-f1 I get back to the original terminal [05:00] MasterShrek, do you think it will work with 6gb? [05:01] Chumby: must be a recovery mode thing... did you try to start X already and if gave you that weird EDID error? [05:01] MasterShrek, that is all he can give [05:01] frost0, oh it will work, thats just not alot of wiggle room for installing stuff, but it will work [05:01] evfan42: I'll be doing something along that line in a day or two when I'm done ripping my music I'm going to get my video properly working and setup my dual monitors [05:01] trumpetmic, both machines need to be a *nix based [05:01] MasterShrek, he wants to give it 6gb but the guided partitioner doesn't go that low [05:01] Is there a site with a decent navigation for themes, gdm, icons, grub, etc? [05:01] MasterShrek, and i don't know how to do manual [05:01] frost0, have him do it manually [05:01] heh [05:01] no havent done it yet... what do i type in again? [05:01] invisible_ubuntu: alright I updated the refresh rates, and saved it, now I just try again? [05:02] MasterShrek, he doesn't know what to do [05:02] soldats: even though there's a windows client? is that supposed to be just a ubuntu problem?

[05:16] jb0nd38372: have you tried downloading the source from adobe.com? [05:16] jb0nd38372: SWF and Flash is diffrent both players should be installed [05:16] Invisible_Ubuntu, Oh I thought gnash was the opensource "replacement" for adobe's version of flash [05:16] yep internet OK. vesa driver? Not sure [05:17] jb0nd38372: it is.. but its far from perfect, i don't think it works with Youtube to be truthful, but ic ould be wrong. [05:17] jb0nd38372: had the same problem as you, thought the same installed both and bam it worked [05:17] IndyGunFreak, Is there a howto somewhere.. i'm new, so im not to adept at compling source yet [05:17] Chumby: just a thought, under the device section that described the card, where it says driver... we might be able to get you going with the basic vesa [05:17] jb0nd38372: the instructions to isntall it from source is on their website.., its not hard. [05:17] jb0nd38372, download the source and install from adobe, had the same problem, type ./flashplayer-installer, to install [05:18] Chumby: otherwise lets install read-edid with: sudo apt-get install read-edid [05:18] ok.. i am back in the xorg file - driver is "intel" [05:18] ok thanks buttercups , IndyGunFreak and Invisible_Ubuntu I'll try the above sugguestions :) [05:18] Chumby: you can comment out that line by putting a # in front of it [05:19] Chumby: then copy it but change intel to vesa and see if that works... [05:19] do any SATA port multipliers work on Ubuntu 7.04 ? [05:19] Do I need to worry that there are two "Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)" under "Other operating systems:" in the GRUB [05:19] ? [05:19] michaelpatterson: not really,k figure out which one works, then boot ubuntu, and remove the one you don't need. [05:19] ok... hmmm.. how to copy? [05:19] can someone help me out with ftp and netrc? [05:20] Hey everyone, sorry to interrupt but I have an issue with the nm-applet. After I woke it up from standby mode it stopped displaying wireless networks and only displays the wired network option. Have rebooted the computer and the applet but the issue persists, any ideas? [05:20] Indy: so, try the first, then try the second? remember which one works, then reboot and go into Ubuntu? [05:20] oh, i don't use nano so I don't know if it has a copy... do you have the use of your mouse? [05:20] MasterShrek, the guided partitioner keeps failing..whats up with this? [05:20] guero: are you using ndiswrapper? [05:20] yes, nano has copy [05:20] kitiofhawaii: no i'm not [05:20] aolaus: can you tell Chumby how.. [05:20] no mouse...just keys. I wil just change it to vesa... [05:21] i'm using a dell [05:21] MasterShrek, can i do this manually? [05:21] inspiron [05:21] hi [05:21] yo [05:21] LiMaO: are you there kind sir. [05:21] anyone knows how to translate gnome-app-install ? [05:21] it's not copy per se [05:21] and it had built in wireless configuration [05:21] ctrl k [05:21] !anyone | nowald [05:21] nowald: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:22] Chumby: ctrl k is the "cut" function [05:22] how do I force ubuntu to auto detect video settings (I screwed them up and now I get jibberish) [05:22] it will take all the text from your cursor up until the end of the line [05:22] delete it and store it in a buffer [05:22] yes frost0, but its hard for me to explain it cuz im not sitting right there, i dont know what the partitioner looks like and without that its tough to explain it [05:22] guero: you try "/etc/init.d/networking restart"? could be your wifi card isn't standby aware [05:22] guero: well, the driver at least [05:22] you can then "paste" it as many times as you want with ctrl u [05:22] MasterShrek, i understand...thats my problem with my buddy.... :) [05:23] ok... have saved the drivwer as vesa now jacksop [05:23] aolaus: thx [05:23] will try to reboot... also thx jacksop [05:23] Chumby: save the file and try to start gdm again... [05:23] kitofhawaii: and i type that in the terminal? [05:23] right [05:23] ? [05:23] can anyone help me mount an encrypted external drive that was set up under a previous install. I installed cryptsetup again but when connected it asks for a password and then does nothing. [05:23] I selected the first Windows OS from the GRUB, but the "Vaio Recovery Center" is on my screen now??? [05:24] michaelpatterson: ok, reboot, and try the second one. [05:24] how do I reboot from this? [05:24] guero: well "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" it's more than likely your standby/resume scripts don't do anything to your wifi nic [05:24] does anyone have experience with scripting ftp? [05:24] michaelpatterson: control alt delete? [05:24] guero: and yes, do that in terminal [05:24] OK jacksop.... did that and it said starting GNOME Display Manager.... [OK] [05:24] Chumby: and... [05:25] nothing else has happened though. Should I reboot back in normal mode and see if it now works? [05:25] IndyGunFreak: that doesn't do anything? [05:25] michaelpatterson: so hitting control alt delete doesn't reboot your PC? [05:25] Chumby: yeah, you might... [05:25] is it frozen up? [05:25] Chumby: you could try startx too [05:25] Anyone know why Ubuntu would get an IP, and DNS info..but not be able to connect to anything, or even ping the router? [05:25] Chumby: that way if it doesn't work we can try the other thing [05:26] ok doing reboot now jacksop [05:26] kitofhawaii: okay i tried it and so far it's showing a lot of text [05:26] nope... [05:26] xiven, bad cable? [05:26] anyone uses e17/enlighment? [05:26] IndyGunFreak: it tells me to choose a program, I have Windows System Restore...Vaio Hardware Diag...Restore C:...Rescue Data [05:26] I've tried a new cable [05:26] now it's done [05:26] Chumby: didn't work? [05:26] and nothing seems to have changed [05:26] It get IP and DNS anyway like I said...just can't do anything [05:26] need a restart? [05:26] Chumby: can you ctl-alt-f1? [05:26] IndyGunFreak: or I can try hitting an 'X' in the top right corner [05:26] guero: well, a restart works but since it's broken at the moment...let's see what's not working [05:27] help: i am installing edubuntu on machine A, and am going to boot machine B directly from it with a cross cable. the point is i need machine A (server) to also have a usable edubuntu setup. how do i do this? [05:27] michaelpatterson: ok, try that, see what happens [05:27] guero: if you ifconfig and iwconfig from terminal, do you see your wireless nic? [05:27] hey... jacksop... some success... I can see a login screen with graphics now.... [05:27] someone? [05:27] how do i install MSN on ubuntu ? [05:27] !msn [05:27] kitofhawaii: wouldn't he be able to get the wireless working by going to sleep and coming back at this point? [05:27] Chumby: oohh, resolution look right? [05:27] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !kopete [05:28] !amsn [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:28] IndyGunFreak: Sweet, the GRUB loaded again, so try the second one? [05:28] michaelpatterson: well, since hte first didn't work, thats what i would do. [05:28] kern.log prints on (almost) every row two timestamps. What do they refer to? [05:28] !gaim [05:28] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !kopete [05:28] resolution looks OK... but refresh looks bad... lines running through the icon etc... what do i type in here to get in? [05:28] aolaus: well it appears the standby/resume scripts aren't working properly...i'm wondering if the interfaces are there now at all (all the resume script does is ifup anything that's down) [05:28] kitofhawaii: ifconfig shows a lot of text while iwconfig tells me that lo and eth0 have no wireless extensions while eth1 shows my current connection [05:28] aolaus: it supports a few more clients than that now. [05:29] how do i get under the root account ? [05:29] !root | ziggy [05:29] ziggy: 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 [05:29] Why would Ubuntu get IP and DNS, but not be able to ping? [05:29] guero: ok so eth1 shows up in iwconfig, but do you see eth1 under ifconfig? [05:29] is there a button I can hold or something to force ubuntu into safe mode. I am having graphix problems [05:29] anyone uses e17/enlighment? [05:29] kitofhawaii: yes i do [05:29] I have a game that requires xml support, how do I attain this? [05:29] MasterShrek, thx for help. [05:29] Chumby: you might be able to fix that from within gnome with the display manager thingie [05:30] JamoSmith, when you boot in, get into the GRUB menu, it hs a safe option [05:30] IndyGunFreak: do you know how to get ident working with gaim/pidgin? [05:30] ident? never heard of it. [05:30] IndyGunFreak: Nice! Vista loaded what seems to be normal. Boot back into Ubuntu now? [05:30] guero: when you right click the network manager applet, do you see enable wireless and does it have a check next to it? [05:30] michaelpatterson: yes, boot back to ubuntu [05:30] Chumby: do want to try to get the intel driver working with that edid package? [05:30] K_Dallas: THX [05:30] mp [05:31] ok... cool thanks heaps jacksop. what is the display manager? [05:31] kitofhawaii: when i right click i see enable wired networking and that has a check on it [05:31] but no wirelss [05:31] *wireless [05:31] I run both a desktop system as well as a server, both Gutsy boxes, both with same R8169 gigabit NIC's, desktop NIC works server dosen't, even swapped NIC around, same error? any ideas? [05:32] So I just noticed that the gnome metapackage apparently isn't dependent upon xorg [05:32] Is there an answer to my question? [05:32] Weng, it isn't dependent on coreutils either or the kernel, whatever are we to do? [05:32] Or is it unknown? [05:32] guero: you shouldn't see "wired networking"...just to confirm it says "enable network" or "wired networking"? wired networking at least for me shows up when i left click [05:33] Chumby: I'm not running gnome so I'm not exactly sure where it is, but look at the top right->system->admin...? [05:33] whoops, wrong channel [05:33] asses === kramer3d is now known as kram_ [05:33] N TIDDIES [05:33] Thanks heaps jacksop - I will have a play around with it. You have been a great help!!!! [05:33] hi, anyone got a 8600GTS here ? [05:33] !language | kramerq [05:33] kramerq: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:34] kitofhawaii: when i right-click it displays 'enable networking' and the 'about' option [05:34] !anyone | naiv [05:34] naiv: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:34] !language | kram_ [05:34] I was getting ready for the complete uninstall - you have saved me! [05:34] kram_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:34] I'm still having trouble with opengl. I've tried nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy, nvidia-glx-new, and I even installed the nvidia binary from nvidia's site (I have GeForce4 MX) which really screwed things up. I reinstalled xubuntu and am back where I started, using nvidia-glx. [05:34] Chumby: glad i could help. have fun! [05:34] lastlog bullgard4 [05:34] at first it displayed the 'enable wireless' option but now it doesn't and that's why I'm here [05:34] * IndyGunFreak wonders where ubotu learned to type so fast [05:34] Previously I used ubuntu/gnome, and I believe it was the legacy driver that worked fine with opengl. The legacy driver now doesn't do me much good, though; it won't even let me run 1024x768. [05:35] I am totally new to LINUX jacksop but it all looks great! [05:35] I run both a desktop system as well as a server, both Gutsy boxes, both with same R8169 gigabit NIC's, desktop NIC works server dosen't, even swapped NIC around, same error? any ideas? [05:35] bruenig: Well, technically it doesn't need either of those, since X can run on multiple platforms which may or may not even be Linux. [05:35] astro76: how about abbreviations like "wtf"? [05:35] IndyGunFreak: In Ubuntu, what to do now? [05:35] kern.log prints on (almost) every lin two timestamps. What do they refer to? [05:35] What can I do to get opengl to work properly in light of these events? [05:35] Chumby: yeah, it's almost a love affair with me. just so cool! [05:35] michaelpatterson: open a terminal, type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [05:35] hi, anyone got a 8600GTS here ? my computer crashes after 5-30min of playing with nexiuz, i'd want a person to look if it's the same for her [05:35] guero: try "sudo ifdown -a" then "sudo ifup -a" (it'll disconnect you from here if you're using a wired connection) [05:35] Has anyone heard of my issue before? [05:36] guero: if that works, then i have a workaround for you [05:36] jeremyb, also not allowed in here :O [05:36] do you use windows at all - or can you do everything you wnat though LINUX? [05:36] Chumby: rember where you changed that driver line, and the package you want to install... read-edid. [05:36] wt*?! :( *runs away* [05:36] Chumby: I had a foot in both worlds for a couple of years, but completely left windows behind a little over a year ago... [05:36] ok... how do I do that install again...I'll write it down [05:36] hey K_Dallas, this might be a stupid question, but why does your hostmask have i=K_Dallas, when most have n= ? [05:37] xiven, what issue are you having? [05:37] Chumby, I just put Ubuntu on my laptop. Just got rid of windows. [05:37] Chumby: I've encountered very few things that I can't do under Linux. BIOS hacking with specialized tools, for instance. But in every day life, Linux will do you just fine. [05:37] little nervous [05:37] michaelpatterson: figure it out? [05:37] Chumby: from the command line: sudo apt-get install read-edid [05:37] thanks for the encouragement there guys [05:37] IndyGunFreak: it asked me for a [sudo] password [05:37] michaelpatterson: right, enter your passwrod [05:37] kitofhawaii: so far it's showing a lot of text and it's 'sending' a lot [05:37] is there another way to start an adsl connection without going to thet terminal and typing "sudo pon dsl-provider" ? like the one in windows where i could just place a shortcut in the desktop and double click it whenever i need to connect. [05:38] Chumby: to edit that file again, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:38] kitofhawaii: and now it's stopped [05:38] got it Jacksop... thx. What does that line actually mean, word by word? [05:38] Chumby: you can replace nano with gedit if your in gnome [05:38] can anyone help me installing flashplayer9? [05:38] !sudo | michaelpatterson [05:38] michaelpatterson: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [05:38] guero: you did both...? [05:38] mushashi> I have an IP and DNS,ect...but I can't ping anything, and can't connect to anything. [05:38] quit [05:38] Chumby: sudo - "super user do" gives admin privilages to what comes next [05:38] guero: the ifdown -a and the ifup -a [05:38] IndyGunFreak: cool, its up...? [05:39] xiven, wired or wireless? how do you know you have an IP? [05:39] ok .. and apt-get? [05:39] kitofhawaii: yes sorry I did both [05:39] wired, up to the Wireless Modemn. [05:39] Chumby: apt-get is the command line interface to aptitude, there is also a graphical interface synaptic in your admin tools. [05:39] *sorry for the delay [05:39] ok ... i get it... [05:39] michaelpatterson: ok, there should be a bunch of stuff in there to customize grub, but what you're looking for, is scroll down to the very bottom, and you should see your menu entries(1 gutsy kernel, 1 gutsy safe mode kernel, memtest, and 2 vista entries)... [05:39] Chumby: aptitude is the package manager, [05:39] I checked ifconfig, and I have a correct IP address..and it shows nameservers/DNS correctly too. [05:40] Chumby: i found read-edid by searching with: apt-cache search edid [05:40] ok well i read up on this and its asking me to come to you i'm trying to install cpanel on my pc but its acting like i don't have root accsess [05:40] guero: "sudo killall nm-applet" then alt-f2, "nm-applet" (last ditch effort) [05:40] xiven, wireless modem? you mean for like wireless internet service? [05:40] Yes. [05:40] ok well i read up on this and its asking me to come to you i'm trying to install cpanel on my pc but its acting like i don't have root accsess [05:40] thanks again... funny thing happened as I was typiong this in... fuzzy lines just stopped on Linux machine has started to download updates [05:40] michaelpatterson: see it [05:40] ? [05:40] Wireless Internet Service, but wired connection until the Modem. [05:40] IndyGunFreak: yes sir [05:40] guero: if that doesn't work unfortunately nm-applet's not seeing your wifi, even though it's there. [05:41] The Modem's wireless receiving is the only Wireless part to my internet [05:41] Chumby: the graphics problem went away? [05:41] michaelpatterson: ok, now if i recall, you said the second one worked, so in front of the first one, where it says "Title".. WIndows Vista, whatever.. put a # sign. [05:41] kitofhawaii: no it didn't work [05:41] xiven, do you know the internal ip of the modem like for setting up and such? [05:41] thanks you [05:41] ok well i read up on this and its asking me to come to you i'm trying to install cpanel on my pc but its acting like i don't have root accsess [05:41] Help please [05:41] What do you mean the internal IP for the Modem? [05:41] it seems to have... looks like i have a normal 800*600 res screen [05:41] !repeat | ziggy [05:41] ziggy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [05:41] I get an IP from my router. [05:41] IndyGunFreak: cool, it reads #title Windows vista...blah [05:41] Chumby: is 800x600 what it's supposed to be? [05:41] guero: i'd go with rebooting at that point...have you tried hibernating instead of going into standby? your wlan nic driver doesn't appear to work with standby (i assume this is chronic) [05:42] !sudo | ziggy [05:42] ziggy: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [05:42] xiven, most modem and routers have an ip like 192.168.1.1 or similar for accessing a web set up [05:42] Hallo [05:42] Ohh yeah [05:42] michaelpatterson: yep... save the file and exit.... its always best to use the #sign, and not delete entries, just in case you need to retrieve them for some reason, the # sign, tells grub to just ignore it. [05:42] My router's addres is like that [05:42] kitofhawaii: thanks i'll try the reboot [05:42] I dont think so... (1024 * 768) I think I set it to [05:42] sorry 4 the trouble [05:42] Hi. Can somebody help me get Ubuntu to find the bluetooth hardware in my machine? It simply don't find any devices. This is a Dell D620 laptop [05:42] I tried to ping that, and it said destination host unreachable. [05:42] michaelpatterson: in the event for some reason you needed that entry again, you would only go to edit menu.lst again, adn remove the # sign, and it would be back in your list [05:42] Anyone around who can help the Extremely Clueless? [05:42] can anyone help me with installing flashplayer9? [05:42] xiven, so is there one for the modem too? [05:42] IndyGunFreak: cool thanks! [05:42] Umm...I have no idea [05:43] !ask | shweta [05:43] shweta: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:43] michaelpatterson: np [05:43] Chumby: that is easy to change in the xorg.conf file, but i think you can do it through the gui too. if not you can def change it in xorg.conf [05:43] I believe that everytime I have connected directly to the modem, the IP was the same thing. [05:43] xiven, first step is figure out where the connection dies. could be a router issue, a modem issue an ISP issue or a OS issue [05:43] * cafuego grabs the cluebat and edges towards shweta [05:43] eek! [05:43] Arright. So I recently updated and my wacom tablet no longer works. Could anyone help me figure out why? [05:43] cafuego: lol [05:43] ok no probs... what was that command again to edit the file? I will write it down [05:43] hi, i just installed gentoo on my laptop and my screen is really fuzzy and im stuck on 640x480 [05:44] I'm looking here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 and have tried the suggestions there, and nothing's helping. [05:44] It works like a mouse, not like a tablet. [05:44] alex__: you do realize this is an Ubuntu support channel... try #gentoo [05:44] er [05:44] i meant ubuntu :) [05:44] I have tried it without the router ,and had the same problem. I have tried reinstalling and nothing changed. and the ISP said that, it should work Out-Of-The-Box. [05:44] alex__: gentoo has absolutely NO similarities to Ubuntu [05:44] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:44] This live CD is taking so long to install its not funny [05:44] or: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:44] maybe 256mb of ram is not enough [05:44] IndyGunFreak: i installed ubuntu, gentoo was my last distro so everything is messed up in my head [05:45] IS it bad to install in Safe Graphics mode? [05:45] Gluesticky; mine took about an hour and a half, amybe longer with 128 mb ram-but it runs pretty good [05:45] i'm assuming you have an internet connection through that modem to something else that you are currently using? [05:45] Gluesticky: the install page says you need 328.. so you shouldn't be confused [05:45] is there another way to start an adsl connection without going to the terminal and typing "sudo pon dsl-provider" ? like the one in windows where i could just place a shortcut in the desktop and double click it whenever i need to connect/dc. [05:45] Gluesticky: why not use the alternate install CD [05:45] go it! Thanks for the help jacksop - I wil play around for a bit now and leave you alone! [05:45] Chumby: it should be obvious where the resoultion is defined and how to chang it. [05:45] kern.log prints on (almost) every line two timestamps. What do they refer to? [05:46] Chumby: I'm fine, just sitting here watching my wife play zelda and helping you... === impakt is now known as ddddd [05:46] opps, for xiven i'm assuming you have an internet connection through that modem to something else that you are currently using? === ddddd is now known as ddd222 [05:46] Chumby: if you want to dig in i'll be happy to assist [05:46] xiven, so we know that the modem is set up and working fine with something? [05:46] I am running a Windows boot right now, if thats what you mean. [05:46] By the way, what's the largest number of displays anyone's aware of getting Compiz running nicely on? [05:47] (I'm looking at approximately 9 displays) [05:47] bullgard4, can you give an example of two timestamps? usually 1 time stamp, like Dec 1 20:30:20 in my logs [05:47] haha... thanks jacksop - I was ment to do the lawns, but it is raining here (hobart, tasmania) so I thought it mat be good to try and fix this.... [05:47] Weng: like 9 different monitors? [05:47] Weng: that's uh...a lot of monitors :) [05:47] so windows can connect to the router, the router is connected to the modem and the modem is working fine? sorry, but just need to get a picture of what is going on [05:47] Yes, 9 monitors. [05:47] buttercups: mom [05:47] hi, i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and my screen is really fuzzy and im stuck on 640x480... anyone want to help me figure it out? [05:47] that must be a big freakin desk., [05:47] mean-jean: I am using the live CD and its taken hours and it is still not installs, even the setup menu's work very slowly for me, it was a hassle just selecting my timezone [05:47] Chumby: tasmania! cool! [05:47] maybe it is because of my cd drive? [05:47] !resolution | alex__ [05:48] It's more a room than a desk. [05:48] or very small monitors, IndyGunFreak :) [05:48] jackaesop.. where are you? [05:48] shweta: lol, i guess that could be tol. [05:48] Chumby: I'm in oklahoma city, oklahoma [05:48] alex__: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [05:48] !res | alex__ [05:48] Did my question on the wacom tablet get lost, or did I miss someone answering, or does nobody know? [05:48] Chumby: US === tino_ is now known as tino_work [05:48] I'm Very Clueless and might've just done something stupid while trying to follow directions. [05:48] OK... nice...yep have heard of the place [05:49] ??? [05:49] shweta: i have dual 19in screens, and i couldnm't imagine having 3.. of course, when i had 1, i couldn't imagine 2... now i coudln't be w/o it..lol [05:49] You pretty much have it correct. [05:49] Ubuntu's not connecting, even though it has the IP and DNS, is the only issue, to the entire setup [05:50] IndyGunFreak: I'm a 1-monitor kinda gal. I'm easily confused. My husband has 2 for his desktop, and it makes me cross-eyed [05:50] lol [05:50] xiven: this brand new install? [05:50] bullgard4, mom is your example? [05:50] Basically [05:50] Me being here is all my husband's fault. He's the linux guy. "I'll help you", he says, and then I have a problem and he's off to the gym. Grr. [05:50] Thats a good one [05:50] See, I have this terrible obsession with screen real estate. [05:50] He is helping you learn! [05:50] buttercups: "Dec 9 05:45:03 MD97600 kernel: [65786.900000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.2 disabled" [05:50] heee [05:50] I fresh installed like 3 days ago..but i havent done anything with it, but troubleshoot [05:51] xiven: "ip route" did it show you the right routes/ [05:51] Umm never tried that. [05:51] Nothing beats being thrown into a jungle and letting you fend for yourself [05:51] xiven, it's going to be kind of hard to troubleshoot if you are running windows now - unless it's a diferent computer. [05:51] NOt even sure I'd know how to read that [05:52] Gluesticky: I think I'm failing the learning experience so far. I can't do anything to make this damn tablet work as a real tablet. It's clearly working as an input device, only... not the right kind of input device. [05:52] xiven: that'll show your routing table, so if that shows a) your local subnet to your router and b) a default route to your router, then it'd be the next step to check [05:52] The pen is not tracking unless it's actually touching the tablet, so it's acting like a bad mouse. [05:52] okay. [05:52] I'm not really a computer geek, I'm an art geek, and all I can say is, this is no use for drawing... [05:52] I unintalled tracker. How do you make nautilus to use classic slow search or use google desktop [05:52] Let me reboot and check it [05:52] how can i change my keysettings to dvorak in e17/enlighment? [05:52] bullgard4, thats 1 timestamp, Dec 9 05:45:03 = Dec 9 5:45 A.M [05:52] xiven: like mine shows "192.168.253.0/24 dev wlan0" and "default via 192.168.253.1 dev wlan0" [05:52] Er so what is it actually doing? [05:52] Right now it gives an error if i want to search for something [05:52] xiven: wait wait! ahh...i had more troubleshooting steps [05:53] Gluesticky: me? :hopeful look: [05:53] buttercups: No there are two. The other one is [65786.900000]. [05:53] Ok maybe you should stick to other tablets [05:53] what are u doing? [05:53] kitofhawaii, keep going. maybe i can learn something :) [05:53] I am not sure if tablet notebooks are up to that standard yet [05:54] gogo gadget kernel panic! [05:54] Gluesticky: I've been using this (wacom, intuos 3, USB connection) for 2 years now. It worked before. [05:54] oh right [05:54] It worked on my old computer, which ran Debian, and it started out workin gon the new computer, which is running ubuntu [05:54] Until I hit yes on updates. [05:54] musashi: lol well we use traceroute at that point to check...first local nic, second to the router, then beyond the router. [05:54] And then, as far as I can tell, it Suddenly Stopped Working. [05:54] What kind of PC notebook is it I am curious [05:55] I always wanted to get a tablet notebook [05:55] musashi: assuming the routing table's remotely correct [05:55] Gluesticky: me? Not a tablet notebook. I've got a thinkpad laptop and a USB-connected tablet. [05:55] Tablet notebooks are expensive. [05:55] oh [05:55] Do you think they are any good though [05:55] kitofhawaii, that is kind of what i was hoping to build too but he was running in win so hard to have him do anything. maybe he's rebooting [05:56] Gluesticky: the notebooks or the USB-connected tablet I have? [05:56] shweta: well, scrolling up, i can't find your original question, can you repost it, i'll try to help, but i've never setup a tablet before. [05:56] i can't stand tablet notebooks...all the ones we have at the office everyone winds up using a usb mouse anyway [05:56] The notebook [05:56] * IndyGunFreak hates touchpads... has to use a mouse [05:56] kitofhawaii, although your approach sounds better. mine would have been a hack approach [05:56] IndyGunFreak: thanks :) The question is, what might be causing my USB-connected wacom tablet to act like a second-rate mouse instead of a tablet [05:56] woah, ubuntu kicks arse [05:56] what's the grub syntax for specifying a kernel option again? [05:57] Gluesticky: I've seen some awesome stuff done with a tablet notebook, but not by me. [05:57] shweta: well, that sounds like a xorg error... what model tablet is it? [05:57] It would kick ass on my laptop too if it actually could install instead of waiting around for hours [05:57] IndyGunFreak: Intuos 3, wacom [05:57] Yeah I have seen some of those photoshop video tutorials [05:57] Why is there a need to update the kernel? [05:57] Model PTZ-930 [05:57] Hello, how can I use nautilus to browse files on my cellphone using bluetooth ? [05:57] !bluetooth [05:57] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [05:58] Gluesticky: if you're interested, this is done with the Gimp and my little tablet -- http://shwetambari.deviantart.com/art/Ganesha-playing-trombone-38762211 [05:58] musashi: a hack? :) static addressing? [05:58] IndyGunFreak: I was looking at this page -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 [05:59] Yeah I should probably read up on gimp, I can use it but nowhere near good [05:59] I did follow steps 1-3 [05:59] shweta: ok, and what happened then? [05:59] kitofhawaii, no, just working step by step from nic to router to modem - basically manually doing what traceroute probably does - never used it before [05:59] Hey thats pretty good [05:59] I couldn't figure out step 4, which might be the problem, IndyGunFreak [05:59] kern.log prints on (almost) every line two timestamps. What do they refer to? [06:00] My eyes sort of crossed. [06:00] shweta: adding the lines to the serverlayout section? [06:00] Yeah, I couldn't figure out if I should add the black ones or the blue ones. [06:00] musashi: traceroute's useful...basically it goes through each step by setting a short TTL to determine where things are going [06:00] (I told you I was clueless) [06:00] kitofhawaii, based on his description i kind of figured the nic wasn't configured and he wasn't clear about what ip he was seeing. [06:01] shweta: lol, i'm guessing the black... [06:01] Also I didn't know if I was doing something that would make my computer explodify, IndyGunFreak, so I wanted a bit of handholding. Silly as that sounds. [06:01] shweta: probably wouldn't make your computer explode, but if you hose xorg, you'd have to reconfigure it. [06:01] IndyGunFreak: okies. And it should be fine if I just comment out the unwanted lines, yes? [06:01] shweta: what unwanted lines?.. [06:01] IndyGunFreak: if I hose xorg, I'm making my husband reconfigure it. :D [06:01] Too much Die hard 4 [06:01] lol [06:01] kitofhawaii, yeah, i'm looking at the syntax now :(. if he comes back i watch and learn [06:02] musashi: yah i kind of broke in a little late, but taking him at his word (though ip route'll determine if the right information's in there) [06:02] IndyGunFreak: mind if I pm you? I don't want to post xorg blorp into the channel proper, and dunno how else to explain what may be my completely wrong understanding [06:02] shweta: you can only pm if your nick is registered... [06:02] !pastebin | shweta [06:02] shweta: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:03] * IndyGunFreak thinks RedHat- is lost.. ;) [06:03] redhat as joined ubuntu...hmm...i'd have to switch to suse :) [06:03] hello [06:03] kitofhawaii, curious. i tried the ip route to see what it would do and it shows 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link metric 1000 in addition to the stuff i expected. what is that 169 address? [06:04] kitofhawaii: lol, i think he missed his floor on the elevator, [06:04] * IndyGunFreak hates RH based distros [06:04] hello [06:04] hi ! [06:04] musashi: the default self-addressing. 169.254 addresses are default locally assigned addresses (they don't route) and wide enough for interfaces to just randomly pick an address (kinda like poor man's dhcp without a dhcp server) [06:05] i`m using ubuntu desktop 7.10.. why i can compile my ircd? [06:05] IndyGunFreak, but they have yum. that sounds so delicious [06:05] i`m using ubuntu desktop 7.10.. why i cannot compile my ircd? [06:05] IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47501/ [06:05] Also, the paste thing is awesome. [06:05] shweta: ya, that looks right. [06:05] The pastebin. Is it an easy thing to set up? I can think of another channel (a writers' channel) that could use a pastebin. [06:06] kitofhawaii, okay. didn't know there was something else behind the scenes. figured it was all 192. [06:06] IndyGunFreak: oh good. Thanks :) [06:06] aloo [06:06] help me please.. ;) [06:06] * shweta adds the step 5 lines in black [06:06] RedHat-: ask your question... [06:06] um, step 4 [06:06] i`m using ubuntu desktop 7.10.. why i cannot compile my ircd? [06:06] RedHat-: i don't know, why can't you? [06:06] musashi: yah, if you have another address (192.168.x.x for example) it doesn't use the 169.254 route. it's a fallback defined in ipv4 [06:07] Chumby: fyi, you can restart the graphical server with ctl-alt-backspace, do this after you edit that file and save [06:07] !repeat | RedHat- [06:07] RedHat-: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [06:07] shweta: what about step 4? === dosnubbie_ is now known as dosnubbie [06:07] I downloaded a .run file from ATI's website (a latest driver) when I try to execute it via firefox it says it can't be ran. How do I execute this file :) [06:07] IndyGunFreak: I meant step 4, step 5 being "reboot". Typoed, sorry [06:07] !ssh [06:07] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [06:07] shweta: oh, ok. [06:07] kitofhawaii, ah, cool. i almost finished the day without learning something new :) [06:07] JamoSmith, In file properties [06:07] shweta: before you reboot. [06:08] IndyGunFreak: Yessir? [06:08] shweta: before you reboot, i would familiarize yourself witht he reconfigure xserver command, in case you screwed something up. [06:08] musashi: lol well then glad i did something useful today :-P [06:09] kitofhawaii, doubt it was your first [06:09] shweta: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:09] okie [06:09] What's that do? [06:09] just in case something gets wonked up to the po0int xorg won't load, thats the command to run from recoverymode to fix it(just take generic defaults) [06:09] musashi: you're right...i did laundry. that's pretty useful :) [06:09] lol [06:10] happy birthday to me motherfuckers [06:10] How do you enable gnome search tool in nautilus instead of tracker? [06:11] How do i display the size of /usr ? [06:11] what do I open the .run file with? [06:11] I know that if you had beagle installed it would go back to it after deleting ".beagle." i deleted ".cache" but nothing [06:11] howto add the new user to sudoers kevin__ ? [06:11] sorry, wrong channel [06:11] kern.log prints on (almost) every row two timestamps. What do they refer to? [06:12] anyone here familiar with firestarter? my local copy just quits without prompting any error messages every 5 minutes [06:12] okay, i tried helping someone else so my karma should be good.... i have an encrypted external drive that was set up under a previous install. I installed cryptsetup again but when the drive is connected it asks for a password and then does nothing. what do i need to do to get it to actually mount? i think i added it to the /dev/mapper but maybe i did something wrong. [06:12] how to switch keyboard layout from the command line? [06:13] IndyGunFreak: Thanks! I'll hopefully be back soon to say that I didn't kill xorg and my tablet magically works :) [06:15] musashi: after typing the password, "sudo fdisk -l" does it show up? [06:15] What is the chmod command syntax to give read right to a file to the current user? [06:15] bullgard4, chmod u+rw [06:15] musashi: and "df" check see if there's any new mountpoints you don't recognize [06:15] It works! [06:15] * shweta high-fives IndyGunFreak [06:15] Thank you :) [06:16] Hi [06:16] kitofhawaii, it shows up but it also shows up before typing the password. [06:16] shweta: lol, don't thank me, thankt he guy who wrote the FAQ.. [06:16] It's aliiive. [06:16] musashi: what about under df? [06:16] kito, i.e. it's seen but doesn't mount [06:16] I have an issue with the Wireless drivers on Ubuntu 7.10, mainly, the wifi icon my my latop does not turn on or off anymore. [06:16] My husband just came home. He goes "It works? Good. Well, you know where to go next time you have problems." Heartless sob. Grmph. [06:16] kitofhawaii, actually, df doesn't see it [06:16] * shweta grins [06:16] This is a big probelm because the wireless notifcation thing still shows wifi as on when it is not [06:16] shweta: lol [06:17] How do I fix that? [06:17] what do I + Add to the 'Open With' screen of a .run file to open it. lofl [06:17] IndyGunFreak: so thanks to the guy who wrote the FAQ, and thank you for helping with my clulessness and holding my hand and making sure I didn't make anything go explodey. :nodnod: [06:17] lol [06:17] And I'm off to draw now. [06:17] kitofhawaii, it's labeled /dev/sde with two partitions sde1 is just a fat32 and sde2 is the encrypted. only sde1 shows on df [06:17] Anyone? [06:17] have fun [06:18] Will do. Bye! [06:18] so hard to run a file I downloaded :| [06:18] <[n0c]> what is the syntax for scp? [06:18] astro76: Your answer is not correct. Ubuntu responds now: "You have not the required rights to open this file." [06:18] Can anyone tell me now to get the Wifi icon to work? [06:19] bullgard4, come on now it's at least partially correct... of course if the current user does not already own the file, you need sudo chown user [06:21] anyone? [06:21] !wireless [06:21] what is it, Ttech? [06:21] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:21] musashi: http://feraga.com/library/howto_use_cryptsetup_with_luks_support_0 dunno much about crypt so hope that helps (check section on mounting existing encrypted container) [06:21] Ok. Need halps. I'm currently in irssi, I can't get to pastebin but I need to paste a couple of lines of text so someone can try and help me figure out what is going on. Is that possible? [06:22] gadren astro76: Its the icon on my laptop lid, it does not work [06:22] does not light up when wifi is on like it is supposed to [06:22] mnemonica: if it's just a few lines then it's not a problem to paste in the channel [06:22] kitofhawaii, thanks. i'll check it out. fwiw, i used this how to when i first set it up. http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7-steps-to-an-encrypted-partition-local-or-removable-disk/ now with a new install i gotta figure out how to access it again :) [06:22] Ttech: what computer? [06:22] Ttech, does wifi work otherwise? [06:22] jackaesop: It's eight lines, to be exact. [06:23] mnemonica: are you in the terminal without X? there is a great CLI browser you could use... [06:23] mnemonica: sudo apt-get install elinks === C is now known as Arjuna_Cari_Cewe [06:23] Yes, gdm doesn't load... issue. [06:23] !info pastebinit | mnemonica [06:23] mnemonica: pastebinit: command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 84 kB [06:23] Yes the Wifi Works, but the idsable wifi keycommand works too, so if you disable Wifi using the command,m it does not notify you, it still trys to connecto r says no wifi found, I have to use the ocmmand line to check [06:23] mnemonica: or links might already be installed, I think 8 lines is probably rude to paste into the channel... [06:23] Its quite important since the wifi icon in Ubuntu is a bit wacky with the key command [06:24] its a dell Inspiron 6000 [06:24] How do you remove Tracker from nautilus? [06:24] Ttech: in thinkpads there is a tool for this--not so sure about dells though [06:25] url for pastebin? [06:25] Ttech: what exactly is not working? [06:25] ubotu: thats awesome! [06:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about thats awesome! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:25] a light [06:25] the wifi light on my laptop [06:25] jackaesop: ubotu is a bot. [06:25] How do I install/activate the security updates after installing 7.10 for the first time (now that I'm on my network)? [06:25] url for pastebin? [06:25] Ttech: are you manually using iwconfig essid key ? [06:26] michaelpatterson: have you uncommented your apt sources? [06:26] i always wanted a robot for a friend, ever since i was 8 [06:26] No olny to see if the wifi is on or not. Is there a way I can write or have someone write the app and using somehting like iwconfig to chekc if wifi card is eanbled and turn on the light [06:26] gadren: I don't know what that is? [06:26] michaelpatterson, it should already be set and you will start receiving update notifications, or you could go to system > admin > update manager and click check [06:26] mnemonica: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [06:26] jackaesop: Thank you. [06:27] thanks, astro76 :) [06:27] mnemonica: no prob. [06:27] haha, thanks guys. I already did that. I wasn't sure if that's all there was to it [06:27] haven't used gnome in a while, so i forgot about that [06:27] hi pals, im just installed ubuntu 7.10; im trying to compile a little prog using gcc, but im receiving some warnings adn errors, could anyone help me? [06:27] ttech: so you're trying to see the light on your laptop for the wifi. that depends on the driver, some don't show the light [06:27] gadren, no prob, fyi 7.10 now has all repos including universe and multiverse enabled by default [06:27] i might be able to help, matrix0a (might :P) [06:28] what are the errors? [06:28] warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘exit’ [06:28] 0: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory [06:28] that kind of erros [06:29] Hi [06:29] hi [06:29] Ttech: so you're trying to see the light on your laptop for the wifi. that depends on the driver, some don't show the light (resending since you left) [06:29] So, did I miss anything? My laptop power died. [06:29] what i must do? [06:29] Thanks [06:29] Ah, is there anyway I can get this to work? [06:29] Ttech: are you using ndiswrapper...or...? [06:30] kitofhawaii, i think this is the issue --> special device /dev/mapper/data does not exist -- i guess i'm not getting it added to /dev/mapper [06:30] you see it gadren ? [06:30] matrix0a: are these "stow-stopping" errors? [06:30] musashi: makes sense :) [06:30] show* [06:30] ndiswrapper [06:30] out of the box [06:30] ttech what's wrong? [06:30] that is, do they prevent compilation, or are they just warnings? [06:30] The wifi light [06:30] doesn not work [06:30] Ttech: try a different device driver...win98 if you can find it [06:31] what is the best program to use to delete and resize partitions? [06:31] Huh? [06:31] my laptop wifi light was acting strange until i compiled ndiswrapper [06:31] !gparted | kanuha [06:31] kanuha: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [06:31] I only use XP before thsi [06:31] Ttech: what chipset is your wifi card using? [06:31] Well it does not work atall [06:31] the precompiled ndiswrapper didn't work [06:31] :( [06:31] WEll, [06:31] Ttech: ok...what type of card is it? do you know the chipset? [06:32] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) [06:32] kitofhawaii, but -- sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sde2 data -- returns "successful" so i don't know what i'm missing [06:32] gadren, they prevent compilation, the output object isnt generated [06:32] astro76, thx, I installed gparted, but was unable to do anything to the partition Ubuntu was active on. The live CD should solve that. [06:32] I'm happy when a laptop gets wireless at all [06:32] I get wifi, but the light is not wokring [06:33] musashi: yah...i dunno, i don't use encryption unfortunately at least not with cryptsetup so i dunno (out of my league) [06:33] ttech: have you compiled ndiswrapper yourself? [06:33] matrix0a: does the code have #include ? [06:33] No [06:33] Is there a driver for that [06:33] ? [06:33] my card? [06:33] ttech: that is what worked for me when i had the same issue [06:33] intel 2200 is supported, you dont need ndiswrapper for that [06:33] kitofhawaii, no worries. just helps to share my pain :) [06:33] gadren, i try to quit the include directives, but still the warnings for strcpy and exit stoping the generate of the object [06:33] Is there any other way? [06:33] !static ip [06:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about static ip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:33] I'm not good at compling [06:33] !static [06:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about static - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:33] kanuha, yeah, the partitions must be unmounted, gparted livecd will help [06:33] gadren, yes, but i prove that i tell you too [06:33] !ip [06:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about ip - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:34] stupid that the bot doesnt have a link to that [06:34] ttech: there is an insanely simple site that shows how to do it in like 2 steps. it has a script for it [06:34] who can show me a static config for a network interface? [06:34] ttech: i will find it real quick [06:34] Arrick, ifconfig --help [06:34] Will it work the same if not better? [06:34] thanks [06:34] gadren, maybe for this program i can prove o delete the headers directives, but i need these function for the future in more complex program from now [06:34] Can I distroy my system doing this? [06:35] might lose your wireless Ttech [06:35] ttech: sorry, the guide was for a different chipset [06:35] :( [06:35] Hmm. [06:35] MasterShrek, that doesnt give an example, it gives all the differnt commands that can be done with ifconfig [06:35] matrix0a: heh, i think this is going over my head, but i'm reading that you might want to try -fno-builtin-exit as one of your parameters [06:36] I'm going to talk to Dell, they have the PReinstal stuff with Ubuntu [06:36] got to have a fix [06:36] Arrick, yes, and you use some of those to set a static ip [06:36] ttech: i'll search for your chipset real quick [06:36] gadren, i just installed ubuntu 7.10, i downloaded it from the ubuntu site, how can i be sure that the ubuntu default installation have this headers and else... [06:36] hiiiiiiiiiiii [06:36] Arrick: temporary or permanent? [06:36] MasterShrek, you edit /etc/network/interfaces to set a static ip [06:36] I know that, i cant remember the setup though [06:36] kitofhawaii, permanent [06:37] ok [06:37] gadren, wait a second im going to pastebin this simple code... [06:37] Arrick: you have to do that under /etc/network/interfaces [06:37] Ttech: the dell folks have been just slapping ubuntu on their laptops--seriously doubt that they will help you more than here [06:37] yeah, I need the setup of that page for a single static kiti [06:37] Okay..I'm back [06:38] kitofhawaii, ^ [06:38] andymushu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel_4965_AGN_WiFi_Driver/Fiesty?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29 [06:38] I got a warrenty [06:38] :) [06:38] The 'ip route' command gave me 192.168.1.0/24, 169.xxx.x.x, and 127.0.0.1 [06:38] Seems to me, that the 169, should also be a 168 [06:39] kitofhawaii, hey, figured it out, sort of. i just mounted the luks_crypto_blah and it worked. i guess the problem is that it's not recognizing the short name. [06:39] ttech: that guide looks good. if that doesn't work, i found a forum thread with your exact issue and chipset [06:40] i'll keep looking through it [06:40] Arrick: "man interfaces" it'll explain it for you [06:40] thanks [06:40] kitofhawaii> Did you get my post? [06:41] kern.log prints on (almost) every line two timestamps. What do they refer to? [06:41] xiven: the 169 route is fine... [06:41] xiven: did you have a "default" route? [06:41] can the switchable desktops contain different backgrounds? [06:41] heatmzzr, sadly, no [06:42] yeah [06:42] xiven: also, is 192.168.1.0 your home network? [06:42] 192.168.1.1 [06:42] !screen [06:42] screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [06:42] thanks nickrud [06:42] jackaesop - are you still around? [06:42] gadren, look: http://pastebin.com/m2384a8ab [06:42] every computer behind my router should have a 192.168.1.x ip address [06:42] xiven: yah you left a bit soon...i had some more things for you to try...are you unable to ping 192.168.1.1? [06:42] ttech: i found this on that forum thread. looks like it should work, but i suggest making a backup of the file first, just in case [06:42] echo "options ipw2200 led=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options [06:42] Yeah it always says destination unreachable [06:43] xiven: what about if you ping yourself? [06:43] xiven: whatever the address is you get from ifconfig... [06:43] Chumby: still here, how's it going? [06:43] matrix0a: wait, why exactly are your includes commented out? [06:43] gadren, why this simple prog doesnt compile? [06:43] Hi everybody. [06:43] I can ping 127.0.0.1 [06:43] hi rabi [06:43] matrix0a: well, what's the build error? [06:43] Ok, I just tried to pastebin using elinks from console and it didn't work. [06:43] xiven: that's my IP address! :P [06:43] gadren, for proving man, with and without they [06:43] I cannot ping my own IP from the router though [06:43] getting through it mate... haven't rebooted yet - just doing the settings. Do you use evolution nfor mail? [06:44] what's pastebin? [06:44] Can I post eight lines in here? I know it's rude, but I don't know what else to do. [06:44] !pastebin | andymushu, mnemonica [06:44] andymushu, mnemonica: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:44] I'm going to do a full backup andymushu [06:44] I am facing problem while setting Hotmail POP3, can anybody help me? (I am using hotway) [06:44] mnemonica: uhm, probably not [06:44] xiven: what about pinging your own IP from the router...the 192.168.1.x address your machine has. [06:44] For goodness' sake, then can someone make another chanel or something and help me out? [06:44] thanks [06:44] ttech: you mean a full backup of your whole install? [06:44] !ask | rabi [06:44] rabi: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [06:44] I can't even get into gdm [06:44] mnemonica, install pastebinit , it will paste from a console [06:45] xiven: i mean..your own IP from your computer. sorry was reading your post as i typed [06:45] phooey, put a pc together, went to install gutsy and the cd hangs [06:45] gadren, the build error? there are warnings, i put them in the pastebin [06:45] scguy318: how to properly setup hotway in ubuntu gusty? [06:45] how do i transfer music to a phillips mp3 player [06:45] nickrud: i just tried to install pastebinit and couldn't get it to work... have you had success with this? [06:45] ttech: i don't think a full system backup is necessary here, if that's what you meant [06:45] rabi: well, what's the issue you're encountering? [06:45] I'm going to anyway, :D [06:45] Just in case. :) [06:45] i just discovered that my /home/myusername/Document folder contains another 'home' folder. how is that? and /home/myusername/Document/myTiddlies contains het another 'home' folder. is it by design or by corruption? [06:45] ttech: i think a simple copying of the modprobe file would be quite sufficient [06:46] xiven: did you give your nic a static address? [06:46] scguy318: setting hotmail pop3 in evolution. [06:46] Jay-Oh-En: is it a usb device? [06:46] sysrescuecd does too :( and puppy linux. wonder what i've got dorked up [06:46] Hi guys... [06:46] jackaesop, in the past, yes. I'm reinstalling [06:46] I am planning to setup a web server with Slackware. My hardware config is Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB ram and 40GB HDD. And the speed of the internet connection is 256kbps. Will I be able to run a decent web server and sustain a site with about 10 million hits a month? [06:46] scguy318: the package name is hotway. [06:46] rabi: what guide are you using? i have one [06:46] kern.log prints on (almost) every line two timestamps. What do they refer to? [06:46] rabi: *a guide [06:46] nickrud: thanks, i would like to know how to use this. [06:46] ttech: did you try that command i posted? [06:46] scguy318: can u give me the guide. [06:46] david_J: yes [06:46] lol @ singalong [06:46] Arrick: there's an easier way for setting up static ip btw, system -> administration -> network [06:46] IRC is cool [06:47] rabi: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/send-and-receive-your-hotmail-messages-through-evolution.html [06:47] matrix0a: i'm not too familiar with this sort of code, but what happens if the includes aren't commented out? [06:47] mnemonica: this is a busy channel, i don't blame these guys for insisting. 8 lines would nearly blow the conversation off the page. [06:47] Jay-Oh-En: do a dmesg | tail -n 50 [06:47] rabi: if you like Thunderbird you can try the Webmail extension [06:47] andymushu what command? [06:47] gadren, ok, wait, look... [06:47] I am planning to setup a web server with Ubuntu. My hardware config is Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB ram and 40GB HDD. And the speed of the internet connection is 256kbps. Will I be able to run a decent web server and sustain a site with about 10 million hits a month? [06:47] scguy318: failed, I have also tried based on that. [06:47] No..there is no static address [06:47] Jay-Oh-En: see if the kernel recognizes the device [06:47] ttech: hold on, i will post it again [06:47] ttech: it should turn on the wifi led on your computer at boot time [06:48] scguy318: I am now using hotmail pop3 from freepops program, but it doesn't provide the facility of smtp. [06:48] Jay-Oh-En: may have to plug it now and replug [06:48] Jesus this is rediculous..I've been trying to fix this problem for two months [06:48] nout=out [06:48] ttech: echo "options ipw2200 led=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options [06:48] gadren, ejem, in fact that output is for the uncommented version of the source, i copy the output from the uncommented version [06:48] Hey, i'm begginer in linux world, and i installed xmms-1.2.11 but i don know how execute, like in windows .exe, anyone may helpme? [06:48] ttech: just put that into a terminal [06:48] How do I use pastebinit? [06:48] help please..... [06:48] UserUbuntu: xmms [06:48] UserUbuntu: in Terminal, though there probably should be an entry in your Applications menu [06:48] xiven: is this a wired or wireless connection? i'm sorry it's taken months, hopefully we can fix it today :) [06:49] kitofhawaii, I wouldnt run a gui as slow as the ubuntu one if my life depended on it, thats why its a server install [06:49] david_J: want me to pastebin.com it? [06:49] I've had Ubuntu as my OS for bout an hour now and I dig it quite a bit, actually thought it would be alot tougher to implement. [06:49] it does nto work. :( [06:49] How do I use pastebinit? [06:49] It is wired, except for the fact that the Modem Receives its signal from the ISP Wirelessly [06:49] thank, you. it's so easy, i promise i will study linux, a lot!!!!! [06:49] Jay-Oh-En: If you cant read it yourself [06:49] Arrick: then you're going to need to do it from /etc/network/interfaces ...hope that file helped [06:49] lololol [06:49] ttech: did you try to reboot? [06:49] mnemonica: i've installed pastebinit and am trying to figure it out too [06:49] gadren, the type of program doesnt care, the problem is that it isnt "reconizing" the strcpy and exit functions... [06:49] heatmzzr, its all i run at home now, on 5 machines [06:49] it did kitofhawaii [06:49] jackaesop: thanks. [06:49] xiven: that's fine. what do you have clearwire? [06:49] ttech: that command only works after you boot [06:49] Actually Yes. [06:49] I just had to edit a file and add 3 lines [06:49] anyone help please [06:49] huh? [06:50] it says command not found [06:50] matrix0a: hmm... i'm wondering if you have a gcc version mismatch or something [06:50] ttech: echo "options ipw2200 led=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/options [06:50] ttech: copy and paste that directly into the terminal [06:50] jlsolutions, how did you just highlight your name to me, that would be useful [06:50] SingAlong: on slackware? this is #ubuntu you know [06:50] SingAling, what kind of website are you setting up? [06:50] ArthurArchnix: I am planning to setup a web server with Ubuntu. My hardware config is Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB ram and 40GB HDD. And the speed of the internet connection is 256kbps. Will I be able to run a decent web server and sustain a site with about 10 million hits a month? [06:50] kern.log prints on (almost) every line two timestamps. What do they refer to? [06:50] the new gutsy update seems to fuck things up. is there a known workaround? [06:50] !language [06:50] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:51] heatmzzr, i iddn't do anything to highlight it, your client probably did that [06:51] xiven: yah we have clearwire here (for backup for cable modem at the house) [06:51] SingAlong: you can also check in #ubuntu-server if you don't get an answer here :} [06:51] scguy318: may i acces fat [06:51] Do you have the same problem with your clearwire>? [06:51] ok\ [06:51] what is the best file server for ubuntu? [06:51] I see, yeah I got you... [06:51] I'll try it [06:51] I must be off [06:51] scguy318: may i acces fat32 by xmms? [06:51] I also can't get pastebinit to work, any ideas? [06:51] ttech: k, good luck [06:51] thanks [06:51] mnemonica: do you have a jabber account? [06:51] Tahnks for the help [06:51] xiven: no. it works fine [06:51] jackaesop: No. [06:51] Hmm [06:51] UserUbuntu: yes [06:51] ttech: sure, no problem [06:51] gadren, i just do apt-get install gcc and tell me that is the last version [06:51] Right out of hte box? [06:51] bye [06:51] mnemonica: gmail? [06:52] jackaesop: yes. [06:52] jackaesop, the default pastebin site is not working ;( [06:52] xiven: well...we did configure it on a vista box before we went to work on it. like registering and whatnot [06:52] nobody else has the problem with gut*y? [06:52] ok, i will try. [06:52] dooglus: which is? [06:52] mnemonica: ah, yeah, won't work for me either, and it doesn't want to accept the ubuntu site. [06:52] dooglus, do a clean install [06:52] !packages [06:52] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [06:52] thats my advice [06:52] matrix0a: well, i guess i don't have a solution. sorry :( maybe try asking on the forums? [06:52] scguy318: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/gutsyupdatefckup.png [06:52] mnemonica: do you want to private chat. I'll try to help you with your gdm problem... [06:53] jackaesop: Ok... This might help. What file is stuff like Section "drivers" blah blah EndSection? [06:53] j1solutions: don't be stupid [06:53] scguy318: thanks very easy. [06:53] whats the name of the 6.06.1 version? [06:53] jackaesop, you would do something along the lines of sudo apt-get -f install | pastebinit , or pastebinit -f (if paste.straber.org was up) [06:53] jackaesop: that'd be awesome if you could. [06:53] !dapper | Arrick [06:53] Arrick: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [06:53] kitofhawaii> Same here..only XP. But Linux has been fighting like bloody hell. [06:53] thanks [06:53] I've reinstalled 3 times [06:53] nickrud: thx, I guess the site is just down? [06:53] mnemonica: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:54] i lost connection and hence i would repeat my question. My /home/myUsername/Documents folder contains another 'home' folder which again contains Documents folder(empty). What is this? has anyone else seen this happening? [06:54] Arrick: Edgy I think [06:54] jackaesop: How would I acces that in console? [06:54] xiven: it shouldn't, hang on i need to switch a load of laundry real quick :) [06:54] access* [06:54] nanbud1: i've never seen it, and it is definitely not normal [06:54] does anyone know how to start a private conversation in irssi? [06:54] xiven: what's your question? [06:54] How do I launch the debug console for IcedTea-Java7? [06:54] mnemonica: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:54] jackaesop: /query jackaesop [06:54] dooglus: thanks [06:54] gadren, ok, tnx [06:55] nanbud1: i haven't seen that exact thing happen, but i wonder if it's a result of you accidentally copying something, or ubuntu somehow importing old files incorrectly [06:55] Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu on a Mac without erasing the contents of the disc it's being installed on? [06:55] hello, please, i make download of firefox lastest version of de original site. now are firefox-2.0.0.11.tar.gz, how i install ? [06:55] spolvid: you repartition in the installer [06:55] spolvid: make sure to backup before installing [06:55] spolvid: what version of mac? [06:55] thamhki: why do you need to do that? [06:55] nanbud1: i would just try deleting a few items, and checking to make sure it didn't remove their clones [06:55] thamhki: double click that tar.gz file, then in the window that pops up hit extract [06:55] I don't have anything to backup to though.. :( [06:55] spolvid: you can also run it in a vm [06:55] dooglus: mnemonica: how would someone accept the private conversation in irssi [06:55] every time this irssi terminal window scrolls up a line, the music I'm listening to skips. is there a more efficient terminal program I can use? [06:55] Running 10.4 [06:55] andymushu: and after extract ? [06:56] nanbud1: and if the files aren't "linked" in some way, just go ahead and remove the extras [06:56] spolvid, yeah, i did that. you have to use the mac tools to partiton first like for installing windows [06:56] thamhki: then go into the directory that it made and run the file [06:56] jackaesop: you need to be registered to send a private message on freenode [06:56] how do I check the size of directorys? [06:56] jackaesop: alright.. I'll be right back. This might have fixed it. [06:56] thamhki: hold on, let me see which file it is you run [06:56] jackaesop: type /msg nickserv register pa$$word [06:56] spolvid: boot camp for an install [06:56] andymushu: only this? not need copy file for other directory ? [06:56] Yes, but partitioning will erase what's on the disc, right? [06:56] my 3d windows plugin in Compiz Fusion is not working. Can anyone please help me? [06:56] thamhki: sorry, i didn't understand your question [06:56] spolvid: if you resize you don't [06:56] dooglus: same goes to accept a private message? [06:56] spolvid: but make sure to backup anyway [06:56] jackaesop: the other person needs to do the same before they can reply [06:56] spolvid: not with boot camp [06:57] xiven: ok i have a couple things that'll help me understand what's not working i need you to try and come back with the errors/responses [06:57] Hm. [06:57] dooglus: thanks, that helps [06:57] jackaesop: they can accept it fine without registering, but can't reply [06:57] Quick question.. I installed a new drive in my system, and formated it to ext3 using gparted, How do I get it to mount and sow up on the desktop? -> Gutsy noob <- [06:57] andymushu: I SORRY, not have good inglesh and my suporte channel, are all sleep LOL [06:57] jackaesop: next time you connect, /msg nickserv identify pa$$word [06:57] spolvid, try http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/02/installing-ubuntu-on-a-macbook-tutorial-beta/ [06:57] jb0nd38372: you probably need to add a line in your fstab [06:57] I don't have anything to backup onto is the thing. [06:57] thamhki: it's ok, it's a really easy problem [06:57] jbond: add it to fstab [06:57] thanks guys for all the input. i shall try removing them. But smell something fishy cause i think i have not accidently created them. Thnks a lot [06:58] spolvid: then vmware fusion is your best bet [06:58] spolvid, you don't "need" to backup. the boot camp stuff should work. but if it doesn't well... [06:58] What arguments do I have to the mount command to let the mounted drive be read and written to by normal users? [06:58] jackaesop - have been into gnome, messed around with the screen res and drivers etc... just booted and now back to the orginal problem again. Yeeks [06:58] Ah. [06:58] thamhki: after you extract it, just go into the firefox directory and run "run-mozilla.sh" [06:58] scguy318, Can you tell me the formatting of the line to add, the device is /dev/sdb1 its formatted to ext3.. Was that right? I just want it for storage of downloaded software and what not [06:58] cdm10: what filesystem? [06:58] Can you thing of anything else to use? [06:59] Chumby: you changed it back to the intel drivers? [06:59] ok [06:59] jrib: vboxsf (VirtualBox shared folder) [06:59] jb0nd38372: gimme a sec [06:59] dooglus: thanks that will be helpful in the future [06:59] ok thanks you scguy318 [06:59] jackaesop: Didn't work... Care to private chat now? try to trouble shoot this...? [06:59] spolvid: you are better off using the mac software to do this first [06:59] hi [06:59] jrib: i can mount it fine, but it's only writable to by root [06:59] jb0nd38372: where do you want to mount it? [06:59] spolvid, i followed that how to (or maybe it was the one in the wiki) and it worked fine. first step is let OSX create the partition. second step, don't install ubuntu on the first partition :) [06:59] UUID=33d94498-dae6-40ab-a07c-656acae2ca7b /media/sdc3 ext3 defaults 0 2 [06:59] thamhki: did that solution work? [06:59] mnemonica: sure, but apparently you need to register your nick [07:00] is there any program that can monitor file system?? i want to see what program access what files.. [07:00] kitofhawaii> You back? [07:00] scguy318, Where ever it would be accessable by atleast myself, i'm the only user on this machine if that makes a difference [07:00] cdm10: erm... no idea. If it stores permissions, use chmod/chown appropriately. Otherwise, you need to consult the documentation for vboxsf [07:00] jackaesop: Ah... great. I'm assuming that costs money that I don't have. [07:00] jackaesop... sounds funny but not sure. I was trying to set up the two screens ... i have an LG and a Dell. I have looked in the xorg file and there are lots more entries [07:00] jb0nd38372: what do you want to call the mount point? [07:00] jackaesop, you and mnemonica can just join #jackaesop , no pm's needed [07:00] musashi, you mean making the partition in Boot Camp, right? [07:00] andymushu: not know, extract, my personal dir, more not know whats file run [07:00] jrib: [07:00] jrib: shoot, sorry 'bout that [07:00] jrib: thanks [07:00] scguy318, well it's a 500gig sata.. so, would 500sata be too hard? [07:00] vinboy: look into AppArmor [07:00] nickrud: thanks [07:00] thx cdm10 [07:01] spolvid, yeah, use boot camp to set it up. it thinks you are going to install windows. ignore that. just create the parition and then install ubuntu to THAT partition [07:01] what do I look for to get vesa working? [07:01] so join #jackaesop?

[07:01] thamhki: ok, first extract the file. then close that window and go to the folder that it made called "firefox". then double click the folder, then double click the file run-mozilla.sh [07:02] xiven:....realtek...do you know what model? *head starts hurting* :) [07:02] The thing is..that the system worked fine before I got ClearWire..and Ive tried a fresh install 3 times.. [07:02] Hm. This might be tricky, I don't have Leopard and I never installed Boot Camp when it was public. I'll figure something out. [07:02] nickrud: Thanks! [07:02] Thanks though. [07:02] Bye. [07:02] spolvid, i did it with 10.4 [07:02] yeah [07:02] kitofhawaii: what is xiven's issue?

[07:03] kitofhawaii Realtek RTL8139/810x [07:03] xiven: ok i have that on this laptop...tell you what...i'm going upstairs and i'm going to plug this laptop into the clearwire connection and see if it works [07:04] thamhki: you're welcome [07:04] Peddy, /usr/share/icons [07:04] xiven: in fact i have that exact card. hang on. brb [07:04] ok [07:04] jb0nd38372: /dev/sdb1 \t /media/500sata ext3 \t defaults,errors=remount-ro \t 0 \t 1 === steven_ is now known as SteveScum [07:04] jb0nd38372: \t = tab [07:04] andymushu: no, its just that ages ago I installed a cursor theme, now when my login splash screen pops up, my cursor goes black. [07:04] jb0nd38372: like, fill in with tab separator [07:05] xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal both cause my music to stop each time someone talks here [07:05] xterm doesn't, but isn't multi-tabbed [07:05] smbmount should give me an error when it's not able to mount the smb-share, isn't it? [07:05] bazhang: ? [07:05] andy, run in console? [07:05] is there a multi-tabbed terminal emulator that doesn't eat loads of CPU? [07:05] peddy:ah. sorry to say i have never seen that issue. [07:05] thamhki: no, just hit run [07:05] thamhki: don't run it in console [07:06] andymushu: thx though :) [07:06] xiven: (waiting for roommate to free it up) [07:06] Okay [07:06] andy, when double clicka, show much options, read, run in console, cancel.. [07:06] I'm soo glad you're able to help out..i've been spending hours fighting this every day, for like two months [07:06] andymushu: okkkk i see! thx [07:06] thamhki:there should be one other option [07:06] thamhki: sure [07:07] is there an easy way to bridge ath0 and eth0 interfaces? [07:07] peddy: you should be able to go into the command line without ever going into the gdm and just deleting the cursor out of the directory manually [07:07] kitofhawaii: Clearwire is wireless Internet service? [07:07] peddy: that's what i would try first [07:07] kitofhawaii, xiven shouldn't the modem/isp be irrelevant since he has a router in between? if you can't ping the router the problem is closer to home [07:08] andymushu: now are right!!! XD THX, you know about install counter strike steam! ? [07:08] xiven: if the wireless device is the issue I would just use ndiswrapper to work around the crappy kernel modules [07:08] !wine | thamhki [07:08] thamhki: 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. [07:08] thamhki: that is what you need, and the AppDb [07:08] andymushu: I forgot what it was called though.. do you mind telling me what is in your /usr/share/icons? [07:08] thanmhki: to install counterstrike and steam you need wine [07:09] ok!! THX! all [07:09] peddy:ya sure, hold on a second [07:09] Jesus CHRIST! [07:09] This worked JUST FINE on CHARTER.

[07:12] A LinkSys [07:12] xiven: weird...and it doesn't work plugged directly in to the clearwire? [07:13] Nope. Tried that too. === jared_ is now known as KI4IKL|Laptop [07:13] xiven: what's up?

[07:15] DHCP === auskadi is now known as aussieman [07:16] wb kit [07:16] xiven: did i miss anything while switching over? [07:16] Nope [07:17] when I run "man ifconfig", it takes half a second or so to page up each time I hit the space bar. why the delay? it's just running 'less' - that should be fast [07:17] xiven: see this is rough...since you're not in ubuntu...so i mean it's normally a couple of things i need you to try, but lemme finish this pastebin [07:18] Tell you what..if you'll give me a minute..I'll use my fiance's machine to be online, and i can boot this into Ubuntu [07:19] hello every one [07:19] xiven: awesome :) [07:19] is apt-file, the ubuntu equivalent of pkg_which in FreeBSD? Because it doesn't seem to work.. [07:19] i am a newer [07:19] oediv: you need to 'apt-file update' before it'll work [07:19] oediv: I don't speak bsd [07:20] i want study english,who can help me?thanks a lot [07:20] dooglus: tnx [07:21] dooglus: apt-file is what? [07:21] apt-get? [07:21] aBound: what I was thinking [07:21] essayer: this channel is only for Ubuntu support, try #ubuntu-offtopic [07:21] same herescguy [07:21] maybe looking for apt-cache [07:21] scguy318: it's a command. it searches all the packages for files, whether you have them downloaded and installed or not [07:22] dooglus: I think you mean apt-get... [07:22] scguy318: say you want to find curses.h but you don't know which package it's in. [07:22] scguy318: I think I know what I mean [07:22] dooglus: yeah you must mean "apt-get update" [07:22] thank you scguy318 [07:22] aBound: I don't. [07:22] dooglus: you're correct [07:22] dooglus: thanks for the clarification [07:22] doolus: as far as I can tell "apt-file update" doesn't work nor exist in my Ubuntu [07:22] aBound: because it's not installed by default [07:23] aBound: you need to install apt-file before the apt-file command will work [07:23] scguy: Well now that makes sense [07:23] aBound: which package provides a file called segment_icon.png? can apt-get tell you that? [07:23] dooglus, dpkg -S file [07:24] * nickrud bites his tongue [07:24] astro76: that only works if the package is installed [07:24] indeed [07:24] didn't really read up ;) [07:25] astro76: so your answer doesn't help much :) I want to find segment_icon.png, I don't have it. which package do I need to install? [07:25] that's what apt-file is for [07:25] I find that packages.ubuntu.com works faster most times, though [07:25] scguy318, try apt-cache search name [07:25] nickrud: that's ok if you're online [07:25] musashi: I don't need to search for packages right now...:P [07:25] Hello. Is /tmp cleaned upon every reboot? [07:25] antdedyet: yes I believe [07:25] Ubuntu 7.10 [07:26] scguy318: great. :( [07:26] antdedyet: yes, and also anything mounted into it. I lost my entire root partition due to that once [07:26] scguy318, hey im sorry about loosing connection, my isp decided to do maintenance rigght at midnight [07:26] dooglus: synfigstudio contains that file (google helps where others can't :) [07:26] scguy318, no, that might be what you are looking for in order to find all the packages with a certain file. or maybe i misunderstood what you wanted to do [07:26] rlol [07:26] kitofhawaii: correct! [07:27] jb0nd38372: np [07:27] musashi: I didn't want to do anything [07:27] musashi: you're addressing the wrong person I think [07:27] i want study english,what kinds of chat ishould injoy [07:27] scguy318, do you still have that line handy I need to use to mount my drive? [07:27] jb0nd38372: yes gimme a sec [07:27] ok thanks [07:27] Okay, im on a seperate box now. [07:27] hi [07:27] scguy318, oh, sorry [07:27] essayer, none, you should read books and other writing which use proper English [07:28] essayer, #ubuntu-offtopic is fun sometimes [07:28] musashi: np [07:28] jb0nd38372: /dev/sdb1 \t /media/500sata ext3 \t defaults,errors=remount-ro \t 0 \t 1 [07:28] jb0nd38372: \t being tab spacer [07:28] nickrud, thank you [07:28] kitofhawaii?

[07:29] thanks scguy318 working on that now [07:29] Romina: md5sum is probably what you want? [07:29] Romina, you mean md5sum [07:29] same goes for "dolphin" which should already be in Feisty Fawn [07:29] oh, by the way I use 7.04 [07:30] Romina: if you want sleuthkit, you'll need to enable the universe repo [07:30] Hi all! how can i change the password of my a/c?

You are right [07:30] qwerty121: then follow instructions [07:30] nickrud, md5sum is what I've been looking for [07:31] thnx, dooglus [07:31] any idea if there is pxe server that I can do boot from ISO file?

[07:36] unikon, it's not a desktop operating system [07:37] it's for embedded systems [07:37] ahh [07:37] Just Enough OS ;) [07:37] whats the purpose then [07:37] for embedded devices [07:38] what's the shell command to bring up a nautilus browser without loading *all* of nautilus? I'm running fluxbox and wanna setup my menu [07:38] say for example, an mp3 player [07:38] or whatever [07:38] as in I want to launch a file browser without the whole desktop [07:38] thanks for clearing that up astro [07:38] rabidweezle: you don't need nautilus to edit a text file [07:38] I'm not editing a text file [07:39] I want to make a command to launch the nautilus file browser without loading the desktop side [07:39] rabidweezle, nautilus is nautilus, you want a file browser window you get the whole enchilada [07:39] rabidweezle: nautilus --no-desktop will run nautilus without managing the desktop [07:39] thanks [07:39] nickrud: 'man nautilus' disagrees [07:40] dooglus, true about the desktop, I was thinking about all the infrastructure [07:40] * rabidweezle loads fluxmenu and adds it [07:41] dooglus, the vfs and all that stuff [07:41] scguy318, last question... I made "sudo mkdir /media/sata500" and added the line you pasted to me in my fstab, I now show the drive on my desktop, but I dont have any premissions to use it. What do I need to do to fix that? [07:41] nickrud: sure. nasty. [07:41] woot, that worked good, thanks dooglus [07:41] nickrud: Do you remember who ended up helping me earlier? [07:41] mnemonica, jackaesop [07:41] nickrud: I use xfce to try to avoid all that crud, but still things are very slow [07:41] nickrud: Thank you [07:42] dooglus, I do use nautilus, infrastructure and all. I'm too lazy to set up a desktop anymore, I've become assimilated ;) [07:43] oh noes [07:43] jackaesop: It works, I'm in X. [07:43] nickrud: this pc is a new, fast, dual core beast with 2GB RAM and nothing much running. yet every time someone speaks here, everything freezes for a split second, pausing music, movies, whatever's running [07:43] any fluxbox users wanna tell me what directory (if any) I can drop themes in for it in ~? [07:44] How can I set permissions on a newly mounted drive? I can see the drive but have no access to it, cant unmount, add files or anything [07:44] I'm guessing it's ~/.fluxbox/themes but I could be waaay wrong [07:44] hey, is there a support chat or some kinkd of channel for fruity loops studio? [07:44] dooglus, I was getting slowdowns myself, not as drastic as yours. Seemed as good a reason as any to try 64bit again. I really should stay away from betas since I don't want to spend time doing a lot of troubleshooting [07:44] *anymore [07:45] nickrud: I'm using gutsy. it's not officially a beta I don't think. Just not very well tested by the looks of it. [07:46] dooglus, what problems you coming across? [07:46] help X is frozen :( [07:46] dooglus, I started with tribe 4, and just kept updating. My fault. Breezy was the last one that I had absolutely no issues with, but gutsy is still better than any other's I've tried recently [07:46] rabidweezle: I have hundreds :) [07:47] PyChild, really froze? if so, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:47] in gutsy how do I enable full write access to external drives? because I can drag an drop folders & files perfectly but i can not right click new folder in the root directory of the drive. they are grayed out' [07:47] im running ddrescue so i have my doubts about hard rebooting [07:47] wuld i have a prob with this install? [07:48] rabidweezle: to do that i need to be able interact with my ubuntu [07:48] rabidweezle: only 2 of 3 speakers work. wireless performance drops to around 5% of capacity under heavy load until I restart it. irssi running in a remote screen freezes audio & video playback, rhythmbox freezes when I drag the slider sometimes, writing a 5k file to disk sometimes takes over a minute [07:48] Has anyone have a prob with dell pc? === gadren_ is now known as gadren [07:48] rabidweezle: sometimes the disk starts clicking every 5 seconds and causes the hard drive to fail.

(from 16.094052 to 5.352000) [07:48] guys can anyone help me run band in a box under wine here....i'm getting no sound? [07:49] so im basicaly here for three reasons, 1)knowung what damange i can get from hard rebooting while running ddrescue [07:49] 2) asking why it frezzes up anyway [07:49] 3) what else can i do when ctrl+alt+back fails? [07:50] do it more then one time :) [07:50] how do you write a newline in the IRC? [07:50] and hope for the best :P [07:50] the better is the 2nd one, why does it lock up anyway, linux should not do that!!! [07:50] PyChild, gimme a brief description of your computer [07:50] is it a laptop? [07:50] PyChild: I guess it's locking up because the disk you're reading from is damaged - doesn't it eventually give up? [07:51] and dooglus that really sucks man [07:51] PyChild: I guess it won't cause any damage, if you're writing to a journalled fs [07:51] how do you make a new line in internet relay chat (when writing the same message)? [07:51] PyChild: did you try ctrl-alt-f1 and logging in there? [07:51] How to interpret the time stamps in kern.log? In http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/19628 time stamps of the format [ 10.687641] originate from dmesg. Where do the timestamps of the format 'Dec 9 06:21:59' originate from? Why does the dmesg-originated timestamp jump backwards in line #213? (from 16.094052 to 5.352000) [07:51] actually I did just that [07:51] PyChild: (ctrl-alt-f7 or f8 or f9 to get back) [07:51] and x kind of stalled [07:52] mbpro96 if you make a newline it the same as pressing enter key every end of sentence it will flood the channel [07:52] before try ctrl-alt-f1 the mouse still responded [07:52] are all your fans working PyChild ? [07:52] PyChild, once in console try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [07:52] dooglus: silly question, but if the drive is damaged, shouldn't that be a sign of imminent data failure? [07:52] but after try ctrl-alt-f1 x locked up [07:52] PyChild, I get that too, that's something to do with the nvidia driver I think [07:53] scguy318: i don't even think the drive is damanged, its just the file system that got trashed [07:53] Change of thought. Apparently, when I install nvidia-gfx-legacy, after I reboot, ubuntu isn't recognizing the driver. (e.g., gfxinfo gives a lot of errors.) How do I make it load the driver properly? [07:53] PyChild: sometimes I just have to hold the power button for 10 seconds 'til the laptop does a real power down. it sometimes brands the power icon into my fingertip, 'cos it gets quite hot. I guess that's another ubuntu bug I forgot - it doesn't scale the cpu frequencies down when idling [07:53] PyChild: ctrl-alt-F1 should get you away from x [07:53] I can pastebin my xorg.conf file if that would help. [07:53] scguy318: my drive? I don't think I get your question [07:53] dooglus: doesn't scale the cpu frequencies down when idling <-- WOW explain futher please!! [07:53] dooglus: you said something about PyChild's drive having issues? [07:54] hey, is there a support chat or some kind of channel for fruity loops studio? [07:54] PyChild: this laptop gets VERY hot, even if I leave it doing absolutely nothing for a few hours. [07:54] sjovan: yep that's the last thing i could do before the grand lock up [07:54] PyChild: if I do the same in Windows, the laptop cools down nicely [07:54] my laptop freezes up hard, but it's fan system doesn't work right without running gkrellm and a special plugin made for my laptop's fan system... [07:54] is not a laptop [07:54] hda is ext3 hdb is ntfs [07:54] PyChild: I guess ubuntu should turn the speed of the cpus down or put them into a cooling idle loop or something, but it doesn't [07:54] question [07:54] PyChild: wow... that ahve never happend to me. could be some HW errors [07:55] scguy318: he's running ddrescue... [07:55] dooglus: oh, missed that tidbit :) [07:55] or if I goto a tty I get screen lockup for some reason with my nvidia driver, nothing a /etc/init.d/gdm restart can't fix though [07:55] why is a process able to take down my LINUX machine? [07:55] scguy318: from what he says, he has a corrupted ext3 partition, not a damaged disk [07:55] Dooglus: i have to many HD vs fans and a shoty cpu fan. my computer have been on for more then a month with out any problems. what are you talking about? [07:55] that's so windows [07:56] sjovan: I'm talking about my computer, not yours [07:56] dooglus: good point in fact :) [07:56] isn't there a way to tell my system (ubuntu 7.10) not to use all of its memory? [07:57] PyChild: skype seems to be able to regularly crash x.org here [07:57] dooglus: that awful app, if it wasn't required by my employers... [07:57] PyChild: how do you video conference with vista users without skype? [07:58] Should I do "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"? [07:58] PyChild: "man bash" and search for "ulimit" - that allows you to limit memory usage per process [07:58] dooglus, what webcam do you use? [07:58] nickrud: it's a logitech quickcam pro 9000 maybe? [07:58] mikedoty2: if you run 7.10 go to the homepage for compiz fusion. some good faq's for installing drivers there [07:58] nickrud: something like that [07:58] nickrud: uvc drivers? [07:59] dooglus, I'm collecting anecdotal info about webcams, trying to find one priced right and working with a known user [07:59] Ok, I"ll take a look and see what I can find. Hopefully I get this fixed. Thanks =) === miki_ is now known as MuNzE_ [08:00] nickrud: I don't know if there are any that work well with skype yet. this one sends a few frames of the full image, and then gradually sends smaller and smaller frames until X crashes [08:00] nickrud: I blame the skype app though, of course, not the cam [08:00] when my ubuntu boots up.. it doesnt show the startup loading screen after login... anyone knows how to fix it? [08:00] lol, dooglus that's a very useful anecdote ;) [08:00] nickrud: what I tend to do now is stream the webcam to a port and have the remote user visit a webpage with a java app on it that show the video [08:01] dooglus, and audio? [08:01] nickrud: skype for audio, and for incoming video. web stream for my outgoing video [08:02] nickrud: skype still takes X down quite regularly with just incoming video, but I don't know where I'd start getting an unsophisticated vista user to use something else [08:02] also how do i automount ntfs under ntfs3g [08:02] to [08:02] to [08:02] to [08:02] to. [08:03] dooglus, I'm still in the phone age, so it's no hurry for me [08:03] whartts up [08:03] I'm drink bitch [08:03] nickrud: when I first got the cam and was trying all the various apps I could find in the ubuntu repository I found almost none of them worked [08:04] morris84: #ubuntu-offtopic please [08:04] does anyone who use skype want to help me with my english [08:04] nickrud: then someone here told me that there's a program to select 'v4l2' instead of 'v4l1' as the input type, which might well make everything work. but the program is disabled in the default ubuntu menu, and not available at all in the xubuntu menus [08:04] nickrud: the program is gstreamer-properties [08:05] : this is ubuntu support forum.. :D i was really wondering why keep on asking for english help... hehehehe [08:05] hello [08:06] * i mean channel [08:06] ? [08:06] i just installed pulseaudio following the guide here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio how do i double check that it is working? [08:06] dooglus, ah, multimedia properties. I have than enabled, but I ran it from the command line this time. I wonder what qcamsrc is [08:07] nickrud: I just tried it - selecting 'v4l2' then 'test' hangs the properties dialog. another partial success... [08:07] dooglus: sorry im back, ok ill grep for ulimit [08:07] listed as an unavailable plugin, but that's promising for research [08:07] dooglus: so its hard reboot for me isn't it? [08:08] nickrud: why is that promising in particular? I see a list of 7 missing plugins here [08:08] PyChild: "man bash" then type /ulimit and hit return to search the man page for ulimit [08:08] dooglus, it vaguely reminds me of some brand, may be mistaken, but if someones written a specific one the odds seem better [08:09] dooglus: iknow :P it was just an expression [08:09] got a screen issue... any one that can help out? <---- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=635599 got a telnet issue, some one that can help ----> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=635611 [08:09] PyChild: don't hard reboot. Hold alt-sysreq and type REISUB [08:09] Why does the time jump backwards in kern.log? In http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/19628 time stamps of the format [ 10.687641] originate from dmesg. Where do the timestamps of the format 'Dec 9 06:21:59' originate from? line #213 (from 16.094052 to 5.352000) [08:10] how can i check if my graphics drivers are installed properly and working? [08:10] for full acceleration. [08:10] http://george.bullettimes.com/ftpserver/Screenshot-GPROFTPD%208.3.2.png <-- how come with this setup, my user cannot see the /media/ServerD/FTP folder, and can only see his ~? [08:11] * rabidweezle keeps playing around with fluxbox [08:11] can anybody help me with recovering a hard drive partition? [08:11] hi! my gnome panel has dissapeared [08:11] szundi, try alt-f2 , gnome-panel [08:11] hi all [08:11] i have a big problem [08:12] Hey guys... [08:12] Got a quick question, anyone active on here? [08:12] how do i check what sound server i am using? [08:13] I believe it depends on the program sometimes... [08:13] how i can log on as a root to the ubuntu - i mean not in console only. thanks [08:13] nickrud: it won´t come up... I just pressed the hide arrows on it and it permanently dissapeared [08:13] Hey, grindcore... [08:13] edellingh: just post the question. if any one has the awnser they will help [08:13] edellinngham yes ? [08:13] ok can someone tell me why there is no media player for ubuntu that is like wmp that it will play your music liberty and videos and everything [08:14] grindcore: you can't, it's that simple realy :) [08:14] how can i check if my graphics drivers are installed properly and working? for full acceleration [08:14] Press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login as root and then type startx [08:14] That should work for ya' [08:14] i plugged my external hard drive into my network hard driveand it initialized it before i could stop it. It only took a second to do, but now i cant see my data. [08:14] : due to legal issues... [08:14] !medibuntu [08:14] edellingh: dam, haven't though about that before, but why would any one log in as root any way.... [08:15] is there any way i can reset my boot sector so it will read again? [08:15] Flannel: hello, what do you mean alt+sysreq? [08:15] edellingh : that's dangerous [08:15] edellinngham and i will be in the graphic enviroment - because i need to setup something and in console is impossible for me to do it [08:15] Is there still an easy way to change to a better kernel version, or should I compile one for my exact architecture? I've read a lot about people having good luck going from a generic kernel to a 686 specific kernel and getting some improved speeds. [08:15] PyChild: hold the alt key and the sysreq key [08:15] i don't want a OS i just want a media player that will play videos and my music so i don't have to have three players to do that [08:15] Flannel: the sysreq key? is that like the any ey? [08:15] szundi, alt-f2 , gconf-editor : navigate to /apps/panel/_panel_screen0 , untick enable_button in right window [08:15] BUDD}{A: mplayer plays pretty much everything [08:15] Well, I know that...I was just answering...what are you trying to do exactly? [08:15] !medibuntu [08:16] PyChild: no. It's next to scroll lock. print screen shares a key with it [08:16] Flannel: is it the break key? [08:16] Can't you just open a terminal and sudo the program? [08:16] PyChild: other side [08:16] Flannel: let's see [08:16] all the sudden 'bmon' -- gives me a huge number of network interfaces, some named rose0.. : http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5144/bmonal2.png [08:16] what are all those interfaces? [08:16] i will look into it [08:16] edellinngham i tried, but its not working [08:16] i mean in the terminal straight [08:17] BUDD}{A: VLC and XMMS, what's wrong with that? [08:17] : just because there is a "buntu" at the end that doesn't mean it's a complete new distro [08:17] Do you have sudo rights? [08:17] anyone know if there's a channel or something for dvd::rip? [08:17] ic [08:18] flannel! oh i see it IS the print screen key!!! so its alt+printscreen? or you mean alt+shift+printscreen?? [08:18] edellinngham this is the problem - i tried something and i turn off all my rights :( [08:18] Flannel: that's a cool rick i didn't know, thankyou so much [08:18] is there a panel app that works like osx's bottom panel? [08:19] Interesting... [08:19] rabidweezle: you mean the dock? [08:19] yeah [08:19] rabidweezle you mean like dock? [08:19] edellinngham this is the problem - i tried something and i turn off all my rights :( and i need to turn on again [08:19] hey, is there a support chat or some kind of channel for fruity loops studio? [08:19] Flannel i mean trick [08:19] rabidweezle: avant-window-navigator is kind of like it [08:19] rabidweezle: avant-window-navigator [08:19] grindcore: so why don't you just fix it in the terminal? [08:19] thanks [08:19] sjovan - how to do it ? [08:19] ok how do i install that medibuntu [08:19] flannel thankyou flannel [08:19] rabidweezle : there are plenty to choose from ranging from you don't need a compositor dock to you really need a compositor dock [08:20] nickrud: okay:) i think i fixed it. thank you [08:20] for me to get compiz-fusion setup.. do i need to install compiz-fusion and ccsm? etc. or is it already all installed? [08:20] szundi, that worked? good :) [08:20] I *don't* want one requiring compositing [08:20] Ademan: This channel is also for discussing to rip DVDs. [08:20] grindcore: when you are at the login screen, just ctrl-alt-F1, then you su if you have made a root account [08:20] Hey guys, im having some graphics issues. i have an ati x800 gto card. Every time i try to set up my monitor, it doesnt go through. and now my restricted drivers wont work. I have them installed and checked, but now they say they arent in use. anyone have any ideas? [08:21] uncommon, is there a list of em somewhere? [08:21] If you have any concern about being logged in as root...d/c from the net. [08:21] rabidweezle: well avant-window-navigator is by far the best, and it requires compsiting, but you know you can run 'xcompmgr -c -C' in a terminal and you'll have compositing turned on [08:21] can you composite fluxbox though? [08:21] ok guys - i go to try :) [08:22] rabidweezle: xcompmgr works no matter what window manager you're using, it's pretty nifty [08:22] thanks for a help :) [08:22] suttin...are you doing it manually or with an app? [08:22] avant isn't showin up [08:22] :/ [08:22] rabidweezle : i don't know of something but if you're running compiz/beryl or the fusion you can have to options the Avant Window Navigator or the Kiba Dock [08:22] for me to get compiz-fusion setup.. do i need to install compiz-fusion and ccsm? etc. or is it already all installed? [08:22] rabidweezle: well, i figure like xcompmgr + compiz wouldn't work out though lol [08:22] tried to load blogtv.com and firefox wont load the page? [08:22] rabidweezle: did you have xcompmgr running before you ran avant? [08:22] grindcore: NP [08:23] edellingham: im trying to set up my monitor with the screens and graphics app in system -> administration [08:23] let me rephrase my question, how do i restore a broken partition table [08:23] Ademan, it's not that, it's the fact the repo isn't letting me have it [08:23] :/ [08:23] rabidweezle: ah! well one sec [08:23] Are you changing the monitor type...or the resolution type...or both? [08:23] just the monitor type [08:23] With mine...if I didn't choose the right monitor...my resolution was always jacked up. [08:23] rabidweezle: last I heard, avant-window-navigator wasn't part of ubuntu [08:23] I see. [08:23] Interesting [08:24] rabidweezle: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1621 they've got debs for a lot of stuff that isn't in the repositories [08:24] got ya [08:24] I been there a few times [08:24] : AWN and Kiba is on another third party repo [08:24] edellingham: let me check and see if i read the type of monitor right, hold on [08:25] thanks [08:25] I am trying to put streamripper in my crontab [08:25] but it's not working [08:25] when will they ever release the metacity as a window compositor? [08:25] been researching does ubuntu underclock/scale the cpu by itself? if so than it would explain why my cpu is running at 2.8ghz and if i wish for it to run at normal speed what can I do? [08:25] I'm not sure what's wrong [08:26] edellingham: its the right one im trying, dell p1110 [08:26] Pirate_Hunter: apparently on some hardware it does, and on other hardware it doesn't [08:26] I choose a generic LCD monitor with the proper resolution...have you tried that instead of being so specific with the monitor? [08:27] ill try that [08:27] Otherwise check out http://opennfo.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/compiz-fusion-with-ati-radeon-x800-gto-on-ubuntu-gusty/ [08:27] He has a documented experience with your card. [08:27] should i find the max resolution for it? [08:27] for my monitor [08:27] dooglus: well compared to feisty gutsy is doing it to my hardware which is annoying, so do you know how i can fix this, adding noapic to menu.lst didnt work just stopped the annoying message from bug 8254 [08:27] now, what about shutting down my computer on ubuntu?: / ¨sudo halt¨ won´t do it either. the screen just turns black and nothing else... [08:27] I would just shoot for whatever you plan on using. [08:28] anyone? crontab? [08:28] ok [08:28] thank you edellingham [08:28] I aim to please...I'm just trying to help with my experience...with a completely different card LOL. [08:28] Hey, i having problem to install java plugin in the Firefox, i download it from sun site. Then installed like instructions, but why i acces a site que need the plugin, the browser show massage saying that i don't have it. [08:28] Nah, don't do that UserUbuntu [08:28] oh dear...why do i have so many problems with gutsy:/ older versions workes just fine.... [08:28] *ed [08:28] what's the command to turn off compositing with xcompmgr? [08:28] Go into Synaptic and do a seach for jre [08:29] Can someone walk me through this set up process.. I'm very aggravated attempting to install ubuntu.. Dual boot.. These are the steps I have taken ... [08:29] anyone who's used dvd::rip know what a good value is to set "BPP" to? (also wtf does it mean? i don't expect it's bits or bytes per pixel since it's between 0 and 1, but i guess i could be wrong) [08:29] : did you made a fresh install or upgrade from feisty to gutsy? [08:29] UserUbuntu...seach java and jre...download the newest versions of both...should work right away. [08:30] I partitioned 50GB using partition magic for Ubuntu Iso image .. [08:30] how can i check if my graphics drivers are installed properly and working? for full acceleration [08:30] Ubuntu has the best repositories anywhere...I've tried so many distros...always come back because of the repo's [08:30] UserUbuntu, try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [08:30] Yeah...that too LOL [08:31] edellingham, yeah, the repos, they always suck me in :) [08:31] Yep, yep [08:31] uncommon: no, I didn´t upgraded from feisty, I installed it from the beginning. I just know how feisty worked.. [08:31] When I clicked /dev/sda5 41940 MB unknown I believe this is the partition I made it reads no root file system is defined [08:31] Tarkus, glxinfo | grep direct , and hope for yes [08:32] edellingham: I did, i download this file "jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin", now i will try what nickrud said., take a moment. [08:32] I'm actually running Mint with XFCE installed myself...it's so beautiful *sniff* [08:32] No...don't mess with the bin [08:32] Do it with the repositories [08:32] uncommon: with gutsy I can´t even see the loading bar when ubuntu starts [08:32] edellingham : it's an install script [08:32] UserUbuntu, what nickrud said is the ticket [08:32] Hooray! I finally got it working. [08:33] I tried it...never worked for me. Hit the repo's and got java..worked right away. [08:33] Nobody ? [08:33] I wanted to mention what I needed to do in here in case more people come in with a similar issue. [08:33] Xenobyte: he said " try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin". [08:33] szundi, what kind of graphics chip? [08:33] Type that and your set bro [08:33] I had to add these two lines to the xorg.conf file: [08:33] Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True" [08:33] Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "True" [08:34] been researching does ubuntu underclock/scale the cpu by itself? if so than it would explain why my cpu is running at 2.8ghz and if i wish for it to run at normal speed what can I do? [08:34] pythondasnake, you have a partition, now you need a file system [08:34] * uncommon is away: for a while [08:34] Pirate_Hunter, my dual amd gets scaled, sorta, half and full [08:34] Anyone try out e17? [08:35] nickrud, nothing happens. it doesnt output anything [08:35] pythondas: so format it then [08:35] They're really pulling some cool stuff together...and it's so fast. [08:35] Xeobyte: ok so what is the next step [08:35] nickrud, oh, nvrm i put a typo.. [08:35] nickrud: s3prosavageddr video card. In the beggining I had big problems with it. I couldn´t see anything on the screen. I fixed it, but still having some monitor problems [08:35] Xenobyte: nickrub: i get it, plugin work know. thankx [08:35] nickrud, it says direct rendering: yes [08:35] UserUbuntu, cool [08:35] nickrud: the problem with me is that i have a desktop and i dont need it to be scaled thats why i want to fix it, its nice to know it saves more power at the cost of speed [08:35] Tarkus, then you're good, you have 3d accell [08:35] Listen I'll be honest, I just don't know what I'm doing [08:35] LOL [08:35] nickrud, nice. [08:36] nickrud: would you know how to turn it off [08:36] pythondasnake, if you need to create a file system you can use mkfs, man mkfs... there's probably a graphical way I don't know about [08:36] does anybody have simple problem? [08:36] pythondasnake: gparted, qtparted will both make a fs graphically [08:36] I am ready to solve it. [08:36] pythondas: i think the grfical solution was named gparted or something like that [08:36] i have a problem with being simple [08:36] szundi, oh, I don't know much about that chip, but for my ati I removed the splash vga=791 from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst. Gives the text startup, at least I see something happening [08:37] It asks me use as: and Mount point [08:37] yeah i knew i was overlooking something :-) [08:37] Pirate_Hunter, no, sorry [08:37] Xenobyte: what is the problem? [08:37] rabi, i'm just joking around [08:37] Anyone familiar with the prefetch kernel? [08:37] I chose ext2 for Use as.. I don't know what to choose for Mount point [08:37] pythondas: sudo apt-get install gparted <---that prog will help you out. it's realy easy to use [08:37] nickrud: np i'll just keep asking hopefully someone will know, i hope i dont have to this again its been 2 days now without a response :( [08:38] pythondas: use ext3 ffs! [08:38] ok [08:38] pythondasnake, you are in ubuntu install now? [08:38] Yes I am [08:38] how many partitions do you wish to install to? all in one? do you have a swap partition? [08:39] pythondas: ah jesus... i thiugh this was a new disk [08:39] pythondasnake, i agree about ext3 [08:39] Xenobyte this is exactly what I did.. [08:39] *agree with sjoerd [08:39] *er, sjovan [08:39] pythondas: you need a swap, home and 15 GB for the file system. that should be enough [08:39] is this dual boot or just ubuntu? [08:40] Hi... People... Can somebody help me with Mad wifi... It is not working even after installation... Im a newbee... [08:40] I partitioned 50 GB with partition magic in xp for the OS [08:40] I retyped the mount point as follows [08:40] my awn-theme doesnt show awn-curves even tho i compiled it.. [08:40] ... /media/sda2 [08:40] :/ [08:40] When I click forward on the install it say no root file system [08:40] pythondas: donæ't use partition magic. it can f*ck up your HD [08:40] I don't know how to correct that [08:41] sjovan well already done [08:41] good old norton [08:41] pythondasnake, the mount point you want to use is: / . That is the 'root' of the file system [08:41] says please correct this from the partitioneing menu [08:41] Ok.. let me try that [08:41] wifi help for newbee... please... [08:42] pythondas: that's because you have to make it. like i said 15 GB for the root system, you need a swap nad the rest should be home [08:42] is anyone successfully using pulseaudio? [08:42] pythondas: if you are on the live cd, just use the gparted tool' [08:42] is it possible to use gparted to correct all his partition problems? [08:42] ok .. it says the follwoing [08:43] pythondasnake: are you planning to keep XP on that computer, or just switching to linux entirely? [08:43] sorry for the lengthy post.. You have not selected any partions for use asswap space. Enabling swap space is recommended so that the system can make better use of the avaialabe physica memory, and so that it behaves better when physica mem is scarece. you may experience installation problems if you do not have enough phys.. mem. [08:43] again sorry for long post.. [08:43] yeah, you need a swap space [08:43] aolaus I want to dual boot [08:43] keep xp [08:44] um.. I am not sure how this works [08:44] but you want to be careful to preserve your xp data [08:44] I know that is why i'm nervous about continuing [08:44] pythondasnake, if you use gparted or so to split that 50GB partition, as sjovan says, into a 15GB for /, a swap, and the rest for /home, you'll be in good shape [08:44] if I recall it's rather easy to lose all your data when gparted does its work [08:44] because xp can't find itself [08:44] If I lose the code I have written in xp I lose job and life hence jump off balcony and leave note :) [08:44] oh shit.. is it possible [08:44] oh, then never mind :) [08:44] any one on ubut run mail server [08:44] to just back everything up? [08:44] hmm, whats normal resolution for a 15.4" notebook display? [08:45] it's XP. if it gets destroyed, you have no reason to not just use Ubuntu anyway :-) [08:45] aolaus, please watch your language [08:45] :) [08:45] i get 1280x800 by default.. [08:45] pretty sure it can be higher [08:45] true true [08:45] once you back up your data [08:45] Tarkus: My old one does 1024x768 [08:45] Hey, how do I change default programs in XFCE? [08:45] you don't have to care about messing up your old OS [08:45] how to increate transparency of a window in compiz [08:45] Please help me.... [08:45] Wifi is not working on ubuntu... [08:45] actually that's probably waht you want to figure out how to do next [08:45] hi i am looking for a media player that will index my music like rhythmbox does but will index all my media music and videos is there such a thing [08:45] pythondasnake, if you are comfortable with partition magic, go back to it and make 3 partitions: 1 15gb (that will be / ) , another that's about 2 times your ram (that will be the swap) and the rest will be /home [08:45] |||||||| CAN THE SWAP PARTITION be used for sharing files between Operating Systems (like saving a file in /swap in ubuntu livecd, and then pick it back up in FreeBSD)? [08:45] Tarkus: You could try 1440x900 [08:45] BUDD}{A, amarok [08:46] mbro96, no [08:46] hmm [08:46] nickrud not that your advice is not valid.. I don't understand why I would have to make 3 partitions.. [08:46] mbro96: You could just mount the ext3 partition in freebsd or the ufs partition in Linux, though. [08:46] Not that you're wrong.. I just don't understand why I would do that [08:46] Oh sorry, never mind. [08:46] amarok will index video and keep track of the library of videos like it does for music? [08:46] WiFi help on laptop for newbee... [08:47] BUDD}{A, yes... check library options [08:47] pythondasnake, a separate swap partition will greatly boost system performance [08:47] ok [08:47] I'm thinking I build new machine and install ubuntu on it and forget this lol :0 [08:47] pythondas: because you want a separate file system, you need swap and a separate home. that's why [08:47] as for the other, most ppl like to separate out /home from /, basically everything else [08:47] Hey, how do I change default programs in XFCE? Like...I want VLC to open AVI's opposed to Totem [08:47] I just have / [08:47] nickrud: i just can't figure out how to store retrieve a file from one OS, and get it in my primary OS wtihout burning a darn CD, or buying a thumbdrive, usb HD, etc. [08:47] pythondasnake, you can get by with 2. Swap is the same as the swap file in windows, linux uses a partition instead. The third (optional) partition, /home , is equivilant to Users in Vista. Useful for reinstalling without losing data [08:48] people have to realize this...if you are going to install linux with windows, you have to have a general idea of how to partition [08:48] Well actually you can get by with one, you just can't suspend to disk if you do. [08:48] so If I continue with the current warning I will be ok nickrud? [08:48] mbro96, create a vfat partition, both os's can read/write that safely [08:48] pythondasnake, no, you really, really need that swap partition [08:48] yes, swap and / at the minimum [08:48] amarok will play movies too? [08:48] mbro96: linux has ntfs suport, shouldn't be any problem mounting your NTFS sh*t in ubuntu [08:48] Working with Wifi is so difficult? [08:48] then you can copy paste and do what ever you want [08:48] pythondasnake, just use partition magic to take one little slice out of that big partition for your swap [08:49] nickrud: Unless he has low ram, he can make a swap file on / or /home later on. [08:49] wow, my roomate from college just got expelled today :x [08:49] Nobody knows or is it obvious and nobdy wanna tell it? [08:49] http://apcmag.com/6101/dualboot_windows_xp_and_ubuntu [08:49] Ok.. I will try and if that doesn't work.. I think I go buy a machine with vista on it delete it and install ubuntu lol [08:49] can someone help me setting up dual monitors between laptop lcd and external tft, intel x3100 gfx. [08:49] deepak, i don't know from wifi, sorry [08:49] here is one of the guides I used to triple boot my system [08:49] ?wtf did you just say [08:49] swap is _NOT_ needed IF you have enought ram. [08:49] cafuego, true, but not something I've done, so I'm not comfortable recommending it. [08:49] sjovan, why not just say 'stuff' instead of swearing (it's still swearing even if it's obfuscated) [08:49] 2GB ddr [08:50] elkbuntu: good point. sorry [08:50] Thanks Xeno... Atleast I gotta reply... [08:50] :) [08:50] Nevermind...figured it out [08:50] nickrud: THANKS! i love that idea! (if that is true, don't know much about partitioning schemes). That would be perfect. because i have NO internet on bsd, so i need to get files using /something/ and then use it in primary BSD os [08:50] nickrud: It needs to be done manually and would prevent swusp from working, so not ideal for laptops. [08:50] nickrud: Otherwise, dead easy. [08:50] In general are people happy with Ubuntu for everyday tasks over XP? [08:50] h4x? [08:50] pythondasnake, yes [08:50] As long as you don't make the fatal mistake of making a sparse file :-) [08:51] pythondasnake: what do you typitcally do? [08:51] sparrse file? [08:51] pythondasnake, I used linux exclusively for years, until work forced otherwise [08:51] important to ask that question before ansewring ;) [08:51] any one here run ubutu in server box [08:51] I program in Java and I program in python for fun nickrud [08:51] nickname632: No, one 'r'. [08:51] ? [08:51] cafuego, I think I actually know what that means :) [08:51] yeah, linux is pretty good for programming [08:51] pythondas: not advanced music and video editing. that's the only thing linux is lacking. and directX10 games ofcourse [08:51] nickrud: it makes 'mkswap' very *very* unhappy :-) [08:51] pythondasnake: if you mostly program then you'll be happier in linux than windows, I'd say [08:51] I am nervous about it though you know.. I have always used xp.. But for years I have heard about linux this linux that .. so I just wanted to try it [08:52] were do i find library options [08:52] pythondasnake: if you mostly play directx games and watch microsoft drm'ed movies then you won't [08:52] and XP's command line doesn't let me do anything [08:52] I don't play any games [08:52] sjovan, i installed ubuntu studio about three weeks ago--i have some demos almost done, Ardour2 is pretty cool for multitracking as long as you save often ;) [08:52] I play chess that's about it [08:52] pythondasnake: try a linux live cd and see how it goes [08:53] nickrud: one more thing. could i just do this: #fetch n /what/what/? in BSD to get file from win32/vfat partition? [08:53] pythondasnake: hex is a fun board game [08:53] Well dooglus I am currently running Ubuntu off an iso image I burned.. (as wee speak [08:53] pythondasnake, just put Ubuntu on my machine tonight and i love it so far... used windows since 3.11, (god Im old) [08:53] one of the cooler things about linux is the ability to automate stuff [08:53] with crontab [08:53] it's how sysadmins survive their day [08:53] on linux ubutu can i do web server [08:53] Oh please, keep the wee in the bathroom. [08:53] Xenobyte: well i'm no expert, but i doubt any pro. would use linux for music and video [08:53] lol heatmzzr [08:53] How hard is it to configure a relay smtp mail server? [08:53] Thanks all... Bye... [08:53] sjovan, prolly not, but it's coming along nicely is all [08:53] mbro96, don't know bsd much, but I'd be flabbergasted if you couldn't simply mount the vfat partition in the file tree and read it directly [08:53] RCOMALTA: Yes. [08:53] amarok dosen't play videos i just tryed [08:54] sjovan, it's fun anyway :) [08:54] Xenobyte: that's nice. don't doubt that at all :D [08:54] aolaus, but, that takes away the magic all the suits see [08:54] nickrud/mbro96: yes, you can. [08:54] Now do some of the IDE's work for Ubuntu? Say eclipse, netbeans ?? [08:54] pythondasnake: yes [08:54] !info eclipse [08:54] eclipse: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-3ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 125 kB, installed size 412 kB [08:55] pythondasnake: both are available [08:55] pythondasnake, I just did a fresh install, eclipse was the second thing I added [08:55] i think next year i might actually be windows-free. i'm currently pinching myself. [08:55] nickrud: just write a program that uses markov chains to produce random text [08:55] to [08:55] and I like Textpad as well for some things [08:55] they'll think it's the bee's kneews [08:55] for ubutu there is any way to make mail server smtp and pop3 setup web or gui [08:55] Ok I think what I will do is buy /build a machine and just install Ubuntu as the primary OS [08:55] pythondasnake, at work we got ubuntu machines for netbeans as it's much faster compiling than windows [08:55] RCOMALTA: Well... kind of... but I can't really recommend any. [08:55] pythondasnake, well no textpad but no shortage of text editors [08:56] !info gedit [08:56] gedit: official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.3-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 780 kB, installed size 2752 kB [08:56] But lightweight text editors nonetheless [08:56] !info nano [08:56] nano: free Pico clone with some new features.

Nothing when looking at it really pops out at me that says buy me over xp .. I don't really understand what new capabilities it has other than it's bigger [08:57] good night, to everybody [08:58] pythondasnake, ot... but yes it's a nightmare and looks to be their first failure [08:58] i hate vista with a burning passion [08:58] :D [08:58] astro76, first? you've forgotten about ME? [08:58] it's shiny though, you gotta admit [08:58] türkşh [08:58] elkbuntu, true, but people actually bought that one ;) [08:58] Well I don't hate it I just don't know why it's better than xp.. There is nothing that says WOW this is really an upgrade from xp [08:58] has anyone looked into developing those dashboard widgets? [08:58] you know everyone hates vista [08:58] bende sizin [08:59] but i must use it [08:59] yes, but my hate is special :p [08:59] how come [08:59] pythondasnake: most of the improvements are not for you, but for ms and the media companies [08:59] one advantage xp has over ubuntu is battery life [08:59] Well I think I will install Ubuntu on another machine and mind you for the next six months i you guys answer some very noob questions lol [08:59] aw, it's a long sad story. :) I'm sorry you have to use it [09:00] if * [09:00] but xp has f*$#ing GrabIt that I need [09:00] but ubuntu doesent [09:00] aolaus, please don't spread truth [09:00] any alternatives? [09:00] pythondasnake, it's a deal ;) [09:00] i would erase windows than [09:00] i just use it becouse of grabit [09:00] i must use binaries [09:01] erm, klibido, if you install kde--and i've run grabit in wine before on slackware, it mostly worked ;) [09:01] ok lol thanks astro76 [09:01] thx [09:01] pythondas: like google have some realy good howto install ubuntu, just so you know it [09:01] im pretty new [09:01] :D [09:01] can look at pan, it's no grabit but it's not bad [09:01] so thanx [09:01] sjovan I have been through the basics of them like 10 times.. [09:01] np :) [09:02] There is just something I don't get or am not doing right.. I can't say anything more than tht [09:02] pythondasnake, a really good place to search stuff is www.google.com/linux [09:02] klibido then it is? [09:02] yah [09:02] well pythondasnake [09:02] the most important thing is partitioning correctly [09:02] Matt17: vista turned me into a fulltime linux user...i can concur. i refuse to run it so if i need windows i remote into the office *microsoft, how i championed your cause for 15 years and then you slap me in the face* [09:02] and perhaps figuring out the boot sequence [09:02] hi [09:02] other than that it's all automated [09:02] pan is gtk, but more of an all-around news reader [09:02] Does anyone else have awful static sounds when using Real player? [09:02] I'm trying to install ubuntu in a raid, so I've downloaded the alternate install cd, but it installs X, is there other CD that can install to raid, but without X? [09:02] pythondas: then i sugest you refer to the step in the howto that you don't understand. that would make it much easyer for us to help you- [09:03] lol kit [09:03] rgl_, server install I believe [09:03] rgl_, there's a server cd, release.ubuntu.com/7.10 [09:03] rgl_, erm, releases. etc [09:03] ah thanks. gona try it! [09:04] ok.. [09:04] Does Ubuntu read NTFS files ? [09:04] rgl_, I wonder if minimal install cd can install to raid [09:04] yes it does [09:04] pythondasnake, read/write [09:04] how do i connect to a printer on the network?? [09:04] eclipse is the dumbest code editor i've ever seen :(. just thought you guys should know [09:04] lwells: depends how this printer is made available [09:05] AgentHeX: that you for your valuable input [09:05] over a wireless network [09:05] * nickrud thinks AgentHeX hasn't seen qedit [09:05] ikonia: that's irrelevant [09:05] Does anyone know how to fix static sounds when using Real player? [09:05] Well I'm excited lol.. I think I will gobuy a machine and learn it all [09:05] wols: any time. gunna look up qedit now [09:05] lwells: system -> administration -> printing (assuming you're running gnome) then "new printer" [09:05] ok i am there [09:05] lwells: CIFS or IPP? [09:05] lwells: is it a windows box, or just a printer with a nic? [09:05] wols: you would think that an IDE would have some way of importing source files not created with itself, but no... [09:06] gary: in wine? [09:06] apple wireless network [09:06] AgentHeX: then you are simply not bright enough to use eclipse [09:06] lwells: the printer you're trying to connect to [09:06] wols: apparently not. [09:06] yes, it is connected to a airport express [09:06] whoop, i gotta split [09:07] damn [09:07] klibido is bit too confusing for me :S [09:07] back :) [09:07] lwells: ok...it has its own ip address or what? how is it hooked up to your network? like...plugged into another computer, wireless with an ip address..? :) [09:07] wols: not a menu option i could find to do it. uninstalling eclipse now [09:07] how to install this thing [09:07] matt17, did you grab klibido? [09:07] wireless with an ip [09:07] AgentHeX, I just used cp , worked fine [09:07] i downloadet it [09:08] lwells: it's the IP of the apple box right? [09:08] Matt17: man dpkg [09:08] Real player in wine? No, no. The linux version [09:08] well yea [09:08] Hi all. I found that with fglrx, everything works better, from gaming to 2D stuff. I have an ATI Radeon 9600. Problem is, i'm, right now, unable to switch on the desktop effects.. and i have the Option "Composite" "Enable" in the Xorg.conf.. am i forced to use XGL? [09:08] Matt17, try sudo apt-get install klibido [09:08] nickrud: ? i put my source files in the project path, and it didn't see anything. i've had to delete not only the project path but the .metadata folder as well to be able to re-create a project. [09:08] ok [09:08] I'm runnng a 64bitAMD [09:08] Arelis: yes [09:09] any particular reason you need real player? [09:09] wols: Is XGL bad to use, or does it run just fine? [09:09] lwells: so the printer has a wireless card built in right, not plugged into a mac or something? (just trying to envision) [09:09] do i need to type in the ip address or will ubuntu see it on the network [09:09] AgentHeX, hm, created a project, moved the stuff in. wfm [09:09] Arelis: imho it's simply crap. ubuntu likes to differ. their choice [09:09] no, the printer is connected directly to the wireless router [09:09] wols: What do you mean by that? [09:09] nickrud: we're still talking about eclipse, right [09:09] To watch .rm and .rmvb files, of course. [09:09] lwells: i would try IPP first (maybe your printer supports it) if not, try appsocket/hp jet direct [09:10] xenobyte thanks [09:10] it seems it works :D [09:10] Unless there's a way to convert the files to .avi or use another program? [09:10] Im such a noob :( [09:10] Matt17, excellent >:) [09:10] lol [09:10] hmm, never heard of those filetypes [09:10] :D [09:11] so it would be similar to grab it? [09:11] erm--not *that* similar :D [09:11] but it should do ya [09:11] I mean it should do the sam thing [09:11] yeah [09:11] it's all about sucking down the binaries [09:12] well I cant wait [09:12] I really now think of fomating my windows patition [09:12] AgentHeX, yes, html/php [09:13] how do i find out the network i am connected to [09:13] AgentHeX, got my text replace back, Works for Me™ :) [09:13] file types? Those are pretty standard Real file types. [09:13] that will make the world a little better place [09:13] gary: google "rmvb ubuntu" [09:13] apparently you can use mplayer to play rmvb [09:13] as well as convert rmvb to avi [09:13] praise FSM === ubuntu is now known as csh [09:14] Bonjour [09:14] lwells: the subnet? what information are you looking for? [09:14] imule [09:14] nickrud: it seems you have to refresh the project for it to rescan the folder. got it working, but that's just stupid. closing and re-launching eclipse went nowhere. [09:15] Why does the time jump backwards in kern.log? In http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/19628 time stamps of the format [ 10.687641] originate from dmesg. line #213 (from 16.094052 to 5.352000)? [09:15] AgentHeX, ah, well, all software has it's awkward points. I like eclipse because I'm lazy, really [09:16] But the problem isn't with the file type, but with the choppy/static sounds. [09:16] nickrud: and you think i downloaded it to work harder? [09:16] AgentHeX, lol [09:16] GDM takes different resoliton, and my screen is elongated? anyone now about this? [09:17] kitofhawaii, you seem to pop up when it comes to network issues, can you recommend some reading? [09:17] gary: I have no clue what could be causing it, I'm sorry [09:17] bullgard4: you have to remember things don't necessarily post to kern.log immediately [09:17] nickrud: if it's set to "autobuild" do i need to do anything but hit the green arrow button? [09:18] AgentHeX, in what context? java, c, php, other [09:18] etc_: do you have a widescreen monitor? [09:18] nickrud: in general, or specific to linux? im a network engineer [09:18] nickrud: c++ [09:18] wols, no, its a cheap 15inch crt [09:18] It's ok. Thanks a lot. I'll try the forums, then. [09:18] kitofhawaii, in general, then networking linux/windows [09:19] etc_: check your xorg logs then why it'd doing it [09:19] wols, the thing is GDM is weird, but once logged in its fine resolution [09:20] nickrud: cisco univercd is fantastic (online and freely available) to cover a lot of general topics [09:20] kitofhawaii: Are you going to tell me that the events depicted in line #213ff occurred earlier than the events in lines with numbers < 213? [09:20] wols, been trying setting and removing diff settings in xorg.conf but it seems that gdm isn't getting resolutions from xorg.conf [09:21] how can i find out what video card im using? [09:21] nickrud: n/m. it seems g++ wasn't installed. i had g++4.2.something, and it didn't map right. [09:21] !hardware [09:21] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [09:21] etc_, supposedly gdm uses the first resolution listed on the line in xorg.conf [09:21] kitofhawaii, thanks [09:22] bullgard4: they could've started before...we're talking milliseconds here. kernel issues a call, the kern.log doesn't order the entries [09:22] Modes "800x640" is the only line in my xorg [09:22] lemme restart though, i just did a gdm update from repo [09:22] wait up guys :D [09:23] kitofhawaii: No, we are not talking milliseconds here. You are not well-informed. [09:23] bullgard4: which column are you looking at in kern.log? [09:23] * Xenobyte waves goodbye [09:24] kitofhawaii: The column having the format [16.094052]. === rgl_ is now known as rglk [09:25] Any australians here know how to set up the GA repository for gutsy? [09:25] bullgard4, like I said, 1 time stamp the other numbers refer probably to a specific location, #linux-kernel.

Full stop. Have you ever analyzed dmesg? -- Why do you mention '#linux-kernel'? [09:30] bullgard4, [16.094052] is not a time stamp, its common sense why i referred you to #linux-kernel for a kernel.log question [09:31] buttercups: What is [16.094052] then, if it is no time-stamp? [09:31] bullgard4, the output of dmesg does not contain any timestamps what so ever [09:32] Anyone know how to enable the GD libraries in the default LAMP installation? [09:32] buttercups: Common sense has led many people in false directions. I have checked the activity in #linux-kernel. It appears to me that you have not. [09:32] apt-cache search gd |grep php [09:33] Is there a program I can run that automatically sets up fstab? [09:33] buttercups: Can you prove your statement. [09:33] bullgard4, easy, this is not a debating society, it is a mutual help group [09:33] bullgard4: kernel.log is not dmesg [09:34] damn bullgard, lighten up dude [09:34] nickrud: Your message is not helpful. [09:34] bullgard4, prove what? that dmesg does not contain time stamps? [09:34] bullgard4, not meant to be helpful, but informational. [09:34] I found that fglrx works much better than the open-source 'ati' driver here. With gaming, and 2D things. But i'm unable to turn on the desktop effects. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9600 and my operating system is Ubuntu Gutsy. Can anyone please help? [09:34] buttercups: yes. [09:34] !xgl | Arelis [09:35] Arelis: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [09:35] nickrud: can't i use it with aiglx? [09:35] Arelis: I already told you: no [09:35] Arelis, if you install the ones from ati [09:35] bullgard4, do you want people to help you or would you rather question there answers? [09:35] not with fglrx [09:35] their* [09:35] wols: Alright. Someone else told me i could, so that's why i doubted those words. [09:35] nickrud: even the new ones don't work well with aiglx apparently [09:36] nickrud: Is XGL safe to use, and does it play nice with games? [09:36] I am planning to setup a web server with Ubuntu. My hardware config is Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB ram and 40GB HDD. And the speed of the internet connection is 256kbps. Will I be able to run a decent web server and sustain a site with about 10 million hits a month? [09:36] no [09:36] SingAlong: your connection speed is too low, but: #web [09:36] 256k is horrible [09:36] I am on a laptop, but do not see any batter level indicator, how do i get that?? [09:37] buttercups: Please prove your statement that dmesg does not contain timestamps. [09:37] Arelis, yes to the former, and no knowledge of the latter [09:37] bullgard4: how about running "dmesg" [09:37] * jeremyb smells bullgard4 and buttercups running in a circle... [09:37] jeremyb.... Atleast 1 million hits a month? [09:37] wols, I kept it for about 2 hours, but I thought it was just me [09:37] i'm having difficulty getting my logitech webcam to work, has anyone here made a logitech quickcam notebook pro work on ubuntu? [09:37] bullgard4, prove it to you? It simply does not contain timestamps [09:38] SingAlong: hits a month is really irrelevant. and this is the wrong channel as wols said [09:38] nickrud: recently (mnmeonica) had a big problem with XGL. prevented his X from working at all btw [09:38] and IIRC XGL and games don't mix at all. either/or, not both [09:39] egs_: check what usb chip it uses, google for it and you will know [09:39] jeremyb: ?? which channel is dedicated to ubuntu server edition on freenode? [09:39] I cant seem to get my graphics worked out. I have an x800 card with my drivers installed, but i cant go past an 800x600 resolution. The restricted drivers are checked, but they say they aren't in use, anyone know whats going on? [09:39] buttercups: Tell me what the information content of [16.094052] is. [09:39] buttercups: I can see timestamps in dmesg [09:39] SingAlong: it has nothing to do with ubuntu... wols suggested #web [09:39] SingAlong: it's no ubuntu support question, hence why no ubuntu channel is on topic for your question. I told you: #ewb [09:39] bullgard4, kern.log does , dmesg does not include them in the output [09:40] SingAlong: but as jeremyb already said: hits are irrelevant and 256k is always too low for any serious webhosting [09:40] ok sorry guys..... [09:40] hits are relevant but hits per month aren't really [09:40] buttercups: I just typed dmesg and I can clearly see timestamps [09:41] sigh [09:41] i was typing... [09:41] gordonjcp: /bin/dmesg ? [09:41] Is there some default root password when I first install ubuntu? [09:41] ok, how do i disable the "X has joined #ubuntu" and "X has quit" messages in xchat? [09:41] wols: yes [09:42] Gluesticky: no, there is no root password at all [09:42] er ok [09:42] hiho, I have a problem: I just changed from Xubuntu to Ubuntu and I don't get the window decorations in Compiz anymore. I can't resize windows, I can't move them.... any suggestion? [09:42] buttercups, bullgard4 this may not be definitive, but http://kerneltrap.org/node/8375 [09:43] !sudo | Gluesticky [09:43] Gluesticky: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[09:43] <_gpg_> when i run Assaultcube the characterSet isnt readable can any one help me to change it please ? [09:43] egs_: nothing with the driver... cube and all the other stuff works [09:43] I cant seem to get my graphics worked out.

[09:44] egs_: just not the window decorations [09:44] Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on my friends self-made computer. When he loads the CD it goes to a initramfs prompt. I googled this extensively and could find no solutions -- can anyone here provide insight? Thanks! [09:44] Hyper_Mam: ok, I see, no idea then. [09:44] suttin: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:44] wols, I had no problems with xgl, but dropped fglrx for suspend with the new kernel. [09:44] hey, i'm completely new to this, i have downloaded the iso and burned it to a cd, but is this just an installer or will it run live aswell? [09:45] wols: you want me to paste it? [09:45] aceedevil: it's both. [09:45] aceedevill: will run live as well [09:45] aceedevill, if you got the 'desktop' cd, it's live and an installer [09:45] is there a menu i have to choose from? [09:45] anyone using xchat here? [09:45] egs_: same here... that's why I thought I'd ask in here [09:45] speck: tell us the error(s) [09:45] If I install kubuntu-desktop, will it give me an option in the login screen to choose? [09:45] FluxD: yes, kdm [09:45] egs_: yes [09:46] oh, and does anyone know the boot screen key for an hp [09:46] wols: Are the errors in a log? There were no errors on the screen along with the initramfs prompt. [09:46] FluxD, it'll be under the options button, look at sessions there [09:46] speck: there was an error on screen [09:46] wols: I mean all I do is install it and I can logout and login and switch to the KDE internface? [09:46] how can I suppress the "X has joined #ubuntu" announcements in xchat?

Will you be around for the next hour or so and is it OK if I PM you? [09:46] egs_, right click the #ubuntu on the left, and tell it to stop [09:47] egs_: what nickrud sai :p [09:47] nickrud: awesome, thank you!

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [09:47] suttin: and you are an *unspeakable* for pasting in here [09:47] sorry fluxd, i forgot [09:47] oh, and does anyone know the boot screen key for an hp [09:48] aceedevill: #hardware [09:48] thanks [09:48] wols: what should i do? [09:48] you should not paste in here [09:48] wols: i sent him back here now that he's asking about machine endurance/uptime/etc. :) [09:49] wols: other than that :( [09:49] hy [09:49] is there a forum for video or for webcams?

[09:50] wols: and he /quit... welp don't think we would have gotten him thinking straight anyway :-/ [09:50] they aren't giving me anything [09:51] :\ [09:52] drafael: sed s/[^A-Z0-9_]string[^A-Z0-9_]/replacement/ [09:52] hey i need some help setting up my monitors [09:52] thanks, I'll try that [09:52] :) [09:52] I heard there was a way to get VPNC in the network drop down list in the taskbar. Does anyone know how? [09:53] i attached a monitor to my laptop via vga, then it found the monitor and displayed the same desktop on both screens. i changed the settigns it said i needed to log out, the computer stalled and restarted in low graphics mode and my resolution right now is quit bad [09:53] wols: do you have any ideas?

But social engineering could get onto some machines, but it's not productive [10:00] I'm a complete noob in this area [10:00] but wouldn't the various kernels retard the growth of any virus?

The one that has penguin on top and show all the all the things what would being done on boot [10:07] hello [10:07] I have problem with screensaver in recent ubuntu [10:07] it causes X crash when trying to enter screensaver settings [10:08] tarelerulz, you'd have to set up your framebuffer with a logo; to just see the text fly by remove quiet splash vga=xxx from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:08] nickrud: last time novell released a finished product was netware 5.1. ever since then, you never have any idea what they're going to release. going through netware 6.0 and 6.5, i still have nightmares about consoleone [10:08] is it known bug? [10:09] kitofhawaii, ah, that part of novell. I remember using it in the 80's (no sneakernet!) but don't know enough to have any opinion [10:10] Well, Nickrud , I ill have to do that. Thanks for the help. It is not something that needs to be done to my system. I just have all ways liked how it looked. I had it on all my other Linux systems [10:11] well i meant 0.6 [10:11] compiz-fusion 0.6.0 [10:11] tarelerulz, yeah, it does look nice. Had it set up when I really used the console, the extra real estate was really nice [10:11] ricanelite, what ubuntu-version are you using?

[10:13] Nickrud when I started out on Linux on the Xbox and other computer it was one of the things that made it different . Windows just showed a bar and did not tell you anything . [10:13] i need some help [10:14] ricanelite, so you should have 0.6.0 already .. if not, do an upgrade [10:14] ok [10:14] thanks [10:15] jeremyb, i was never ill. [10:15] how do i kill a program or window like the "About Me" I cannot close it [10:15] how can I kill that Window [10:15] without restarting x? [10:16] i have filled two tags for my mp3s (the Artist and the Song Name) but those files are displayed in the form of somename.mp3 and not as Artist - Song Name [10:16] how can i check free space on my partitions in cli? [10:16] ricanelite, alt-f2 : xkill , click the window [10:16] I have SanDisk Sansa e260 mp3 player [10:16] please help [10:16] Ax-Ax: df -h [10:16] ok [10:16] who mentioned my name? [10:16] ricanelite: "sudo killall processname" or "sudo kill processid" which you can get from system monitor [10:17] duudii, help [10:17] I have SanDisk Sansa e260 mp3 player [10:17] i have filled two tags for my mp3s (the Artist and the Song Name) but those files are displayed in the form of somename.mp3 and not as Artist - Song Name [10:18] what can i do that my mp3 pšlayer will display my mp3s in the form of, for example, Linkin Park - In the End (and not as linkin_park.mp3) [10:18] ??? [10:18] anyone, help [10:18] please [10:19] romantik: you check your sansa user guide? [10:19] yes [10:19] there's no help on my problem [10:19] how did yo ufill those tags? [10:19] there's also no help on my problem in any forums [10:19] i have filled these tags with EasyTAG [10:20] romantik: i dunno, i have a zune. it works. :) [10:20] with any game i run like Nexuiz I should turn off 3d desktop effects? [10:20] is it for linux? [10:20] yeah.. probably something with the easytag program [10:20] i have Ubuntu 7.10 [10:20] if this program is supposed to name all your files [10:20] and you didn't configure it the way you wanted [10:20] If VLC does not play 'FLV' files what codecs am I missing?? [10:20] I am guessing that this is the result [10:20] ricanelite: yes...alt-f2 "metacity --replace" in gnome, and then alt-f2 "compiz --replace" to get it back after playing your game [10:21] hiho, where can I change the default image viewer? when I right-click and select "open with" it works but I can't assign another default [10:21] try to see if easytag has an alternate way of naming files [10:21] aolaus, what do you mean by 'alternate'? [10:21] ricanelite: assuming you're using gnome...i think it's "kde-window-manager --replace" for kde...but i don't run it [10:21] um well [10:21] some programs let you specify [10:22] Hyper_Mam: properties of the file-type you want to change default [10:22] exactly how you want the filename to appear [10:22] which sounds like what you're looking for [10:22] for example, streamripper [10:22] aolaus, aha [10:22] lets you format the filename [10:22] sjovan: how do you do that? [10:22] any way you want [10:22] but I don't know how this easytag thing works [10:22] aolaus, is streamripper for Ubuntu? [10:22] sure [10:22] im using Gnome [10:22] sudo apt-get install streamripper [10:22] aolaus, and for GNOME? [10:22] Is it at all common for pidgin and firefox to crash on 7.10 ? [10:23] Hyper_Mam: right-click --> properties maby? [10:23] but.. streamripper is a program to save internet streams to hard disk [10:23] it is not an mp3 labeling program lol [10:23] vladtzu: NO! [10:23] ricanelite: then alt-f2 "metacity --replace" kills compiz. alt-f2 "compiz --replace" brings it back [10:23] aolaus, i've tried amarok but this did not found my device once it was plugged in [10:23] I've never used amarok [10:23] ricanelite: (play game in between the commands) [10:23] sjovan: I didn't imagine. Both of them have been crashing on me on occasion, and I really have no clue why. With firefox, the flash plugin caused it the most, so I got rid of it, but I have no clue why pidgin is. [10:23] sjovan: that's not so obvious...I did right-click --> open with --> and in xfce, kde, windows you'll get an option to assign the new open with program as default [10:24] try googling sansa e260 amarok [10:24] aolaus, i want to have a good mp3 labeling program that works on Ubuntu and GNOME [10:24] maybe you'll find a solution [10:24] you burn mp3s from cd or something? [10:24] aolaus, i have tried amarok... it did not recognised my device at all [10:24] why not just name the files yourself? [10:24] romantik: easytag is decent [10:25] egs_, yes but then the Artist and Song Name are not displayed in the mp3 player [10:25] egs_, only the filename is displayed, which is not my preference [10:25] vladtzu: how does opera work then? if it workes then problem solved, cause it's much bether then firefox :D try out finch. it's a text-based pidgen. you can screen it and use it remotely like i'm doing now [10:25] easytag should be able to extract those names and set them in ID3v2 tags. [10:26] I have used it many times to do precisely that. [10:26] aolaus, it does [10:26] wow thats for that tip kitofhawaii [10:26] egs_, it's just that sansa e260 does not, somehow, recognize those two tags [10:26] romantik: are you aware that there are two types of id3 tags, id3 v1 and id3 v2? maybe the sandisk player supports only one type and cannot read the other. [10:26] ricanelite: yw [10:26] vladtzu: maby #pidgin can tell you seomthing about your problem... do you have any errors with firefox or? [10:27] I need an advice regarding linux installation, should somebody telle me if ubuntu is a valid choice to do a web server, has somebody adopted VNC [10:27] hey can anyone help set up dual monitors [10:27] ec34534, i am aware of that [10:27] romantik: so can you check which id3 tag type you have set with easytag? [10:28] I suspect your player expects ID3 version 2 tags, and you have version 1 tags attached. [10:28] is there a site where they have tips and shortcuts like using commands, terminal help [10:28] i don't know how to retrieve that particular info [10:28] sjovan: No errors, flash in particular just made it lock up from time to time. I got rid of the flash plugin, but it still does on occasion. PIdgin never gives any error message just locks up completely at random every now and again. I'll check out #pidgin. I wouldn't mind switching either one, so I probably will, I was just worried about them being symptoms of something else. [10:28] Hyper_Mam: it's bloody obvious when i say properties of the file-type ypu want to change.... anyways, a thanks would be nice [10:28] im trying to make my vga monitor become the primiary monitor instead of my laptop [10:28] because EasyTAG is poor in displaying the info of tha tag it was created [10:28] i change it in settings it says i must log out, and it screws up without fail everytime and my laptop is primary monitor [10:29] it does the job but it's kinda poor [10:29] sjovan: The only thing suspect I can think of with my setup is that my hard drives are listed as sda and sdb in /dev even though neither one is scsi [10:29] romantik: i don't use easytag at all. my choice is the command line tool id3v2 (which can set either tag type) [10:29] romantik: esaytag > Settings > Preferences > ID3 Tag Settings [10:29] I have no clue what that would have to do with it though lol [10:29] romantik: make sure v2 AND v1 are both checked. [10:29] romantik: alright, listen to egs_ [10:29] !monitor [10:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about monitor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:30] egs_, i don't have that menu choice ID3 Tag Settings [10:30] !dualhead [10:30] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [10:30] vladtzu: that's just the way it is on ubuntu. it supos to be that way [10:30] supose* [10:30] romantik: easytag > Help > About - what's the versoin of easytag? [10:30] ricanelite, Yes there is I am away from my home country at the moment so I cannot remember them but start with the ubuntu links [10:30] I've had some luck with "echo antigens gen | sed "s/[^A-Za-z0-9_]gen[^A-Za-z0-9_]/replace/g" (as an example) - it doesn't pick up antigens (hooray!). how would I make it pick up gens though? thanks [10:30] vladtzu: so it's almost a fresh install? maby sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade could help you out. <---that's a big maby [10:31] ok [10:31] i do some searching around thanks [10:31] egs_, the version of easyTAG is 2.1.2 [10:31] by me [10:31] romantik: look more carefully, it's a tab labelled "ID3 Tag Settings" [10:32] egs_, aha! [10:32] sjovan: Yeah, only about 4 days, but I've ran the update each day. I guess it could be the two programs are my most resource intensive applications. I have plenty of ram and cpu power, but I overheat sometimes. Still it seems like if they were causing hardware problems, the whole system would crash eh? [10:32] egs_, found it [10:32] now what? [10:32] romantik: check automatically convert old v2 versions [10:33] romantik: check write ID2v2 tag [10:33] romantik: check write ID3v1 tag [10:33] egs_, it is [10:33] egs_, i think i know what the problem is [10:33] romantik: all three are checked [10:33] romantik: what's the problem? [10:34] egs_, i have read in some forum that sansa e260 cannot handle ID3v2.4 but only ID3v2.3 [10:34] romantik: excellent, then uncheck "automatically convert old versions" and select "v2.3" instead of "v2.4" [10:35] egs_, i'll test all settings [10:35] egs_, i'll test all combinations of the settings [10:35] egs_, it'll last a long time but i'll do it [10:35] romantik: great, happy listening. [10:35] thank you [10:36] thank you all [10:36] be well [10:36] ;) [10:36] bye [10:36] romantik: that's what happens if a format isn't standardized well [10:36] yeah :) [10:36] egs_, thanks [10:36] bye [10:38] I have problem with 7.10 - install hangs at 9X% on "detecting hardware" (Athlon XP CPU w nForce2 mb) [10:40] Hi.

[10:44] !root | sjoerd [10:44] sjoerd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[10:45] guest accounts are bad ;-) and there is no access to root - as our friend has discovered [10:45] i just need to fix it as quick as possible because i need to burn one dvd and go out [10:45] Hey guys, how can I use an unsafe password for my account? passwd keeps complaining my password is too simpe.

[10:47] Hi, what is the difference between the nv and the nvidia driver? [10:47] egs_, as someone said you know now ;-) [10:47] ompaul - and what i need to select - recovery ? [10:47] hi. did anyone install ubuntu on hp 6720s? [10:48] sjovan: even without a password set for the root accout you can have a permanent root shell [10:48] grindcore, no just reboot with the live cd and when you get your desktop join us [10:48] ompaul - ok :) [10:48] when I use pidgin to connect to this channel, it requires a password. where do i get that password? [10:48] ec34534: huh? [10:48] nyoro: nvidia one is clsoed sourec and does 3D [10:48] egs_, there is no password [10:49] sjovan: i guess you never read the sudo manpage [10:49] any suggestions on using sed to find and replace something like "gen" but not "antigen5" without removing characters either side of "gen" using sed? [10:49] wols: ok [10:49] ec34534: nope, i never did :) maby it's time i do it [10:49] sjovan: otherwise you'd know the -s option [10:49] !rootsudo | sjovan (strongly suggest you read the web page here - it tells you lots and lots) [10:49] sjovan (strongly suggest you read the web page here - it tells you lots and lots): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[10:49] then I guess I'm having difficulty connecting here through pidgin.

[10:51] I've enabled the proprietary driver in restricted drivers settings. However whenever i try to set the driver to nvidia in screens and graphics it jumps back to the vesa driver upon logout. What do I need to do? My card is a 8800 GTS. I've seen the pages from obuto, it didnt help. [10:51] Hi, is there a simple whay to install ubuntu without a disc? Either cd or dvd? Obviously, I do have the disc image :-) [10:51] differentreality: you could make a simple script and mark executable + put it in libraries [10:51] differentreality: not according to the man page, but that's not surprising (i doubt the function to delete the rar would be built into unrar, what would happen if the unrar failed?) [10:51] sjovan: in that case you can always boot with init=/bin/bash on the kernel command line and fix it [10:52] !install | Ihatefeckingcd (you got a working cd seems like a waste) [10:52] Ihatefeckingcd (you got a working cd seems like a waste): Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [10:52] drafael, mh .. you could filter antigen5 before replacing gen .. [10:52] ompaul so I'm here again :) [10:52] ompaul - what i need to do now ? [10:52] ec34534: how can you fix any thing if your account is damaged? [10:52] kitofhawaii, no there would be some checking, the deleting would only occur if unrar was successful [10:53] sjovan: init=/bin/bash on the kernel command line will give you a root shell after boot [10:53] zimon, it's for a script I'm making - it's going through C code and replacing variables which I can then redeclare, mainly to prove a point :) [10:53] If I download a package from the gutsy repo, like opera, will it still get updated during system updates? [10:53] grindcore, applications accessories terminal - in there do sudo -i [10:53] drafael, it's just that i'm not so familiar with linux yet... that's why i'm askig if there is already anoption [10:53] hi [10:53] test [10:53] sjovan: the kernel starts a shell instead of the /sbin/init binary [10:53] ompaul - alas I have the downloaded iso but no cd to burn it on. It's sunday here - in the middle of nowhere and not a cd shop in site :-) [10:54] egsegsegs: ...failed :) [10:54] ec34534: like you loose all your priv. for some strange reason... [10:54] ec34534: pluss the colors in the terminal is so nice when you su :D [10:54] ompaul - yes and i've put my password :) whats next :) [10:54] thanks all, i got pidgin to work. [10:54] differentreality: if you attach " && rm file.rar" to the end of your command it'll remove it anyway if unrar completes successfully [10:54] ec34534, you too! [10:54] but ubotu - the only bot I actually like - comes to the rescue ;-) [10:55] grindcore, type this: fdisk -l (that is a lower case L) [10:55] differentreality: that's why I suggested a script something like "#!/bin/bashunrar -options $1 && rm $1" [10:55] is not good to install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu? [10:56] grindcore, have you many partitions with the word "linux" against them ? [10:56] drafael, the thing is that i have rar files in parts... when i unrar file1.part1.rar it automatically goes to the next part .. [10:56] dont they need to prefix fdisk -l with sudo? [10:56] * riotosaurus shuts up [10:56] sto my input to unrar is only part1.rar [10:56] riotosaurus, not the way I have em doing it [10:56] SUP! [10:56] but i want to delete all parts used. [10:56] drafael, well .. you need some special characters (like whitespace) around the "gen"s you want to replace .. otherwise you can't express that in a regular expression [10:56] ompaul: i should have known. :p [10:56] !enter | differentreality [10:56] differentreality: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:56] Well, get a bigger hammer [10:56] How can I solve this error? XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0 [10:57] !offtopic | josh__ [10:57] josh__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:57] drafael, maybe you should use perl :-) [10:57] zimon, drat... I was hoping I could avoid forcing a non-cramped coding style :[ [10:57] zimon, haha, I'm starting early on C because I probably need to know it at uni next year for engineering [10:58] Hey, I've got a webcam question, anyone here familiar with that area? [10:58] drafael: relish it. when i went to engineering school i got stuck with fortran [10:58] !webcam | intrepidlytrite [10:58] intrepidlytrite: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [10:58] ? [10:58] differentreality: well, If I were you I'd make a couple of dummy parted rar files and play around with a script until you get something that works [10:58] kitofhawaii: am I very ignorant in not knowing what that is x_x lol [10:59] intrepidlytrite: i've been trying to get my webcam to work as well [10:59] :) [10:59] h [10:59] drafael: uhm...great...now i feel old :) thanks :) [10:59] differentreality: for scripting, I found this a great place to start: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html - you won't need anything too complicated anyway === matthijs is now known as IlovejumP [11:00] thanks for the triggers, but I've been through all these...the thing is, my cam is supported, dmesg says it's initialized ok...but screens in all apps are black [11:00] kitofhawaii, fortran is still learned by engineers ... never heard of anyone learning c. [11:00] drafael, tnx a lot :D i'm goint to check it out now! [11:00] kitofhawaii: haha sorry :P I'll learn [11:00] differentreality: np, hopefully you get a solution easily enough ^^ [11:00] zimon: thank you...now i feel better :) now what about my vax/vms assembly classes? [11:01] what kind of cam? [11:01] hitane, I upgraded to 7.10 and everytime I boot, boot process stops with some error. I have to add /usr/bin to the path and ctrl-D to continue the booting... how can I avoid this? I have already put export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin in /root/.bashrc but no change. [11:01] ompaul - can we continue ? [11:01] grindcore, have you many partitions with the word "linux" against them ? [11:01] zimon: I'm guessing mostly on what friends etc say, and I used C for some demo a uni did - anyway, can't harm me haha [11:01] kitofhawaii, well, i'm not going to be an engineer, but i know they learn fortran and java at my university :-) [11:02] grindcore, I asked you to do something and then report the result [11:02] i have just one ext3 partition and then another one on vfat [11:02] intrepidlytrite, what kind of cam do you have? what's the name you see when you do "lsusb" and look at the device descriptor? [11:02] can i run amarok on gnome? [11:02] grindcore, so that ext3 partition what is it called [11:03] intrepidlytrite, you need also a driver for the device to work [11:03] one more thing, if unrar is successful don't i get $? equal to zero ? [11:03] ricanelite, yes [11:03] kitofhawaii: do you really have to type in allcaps -_-;; [11:03] do i need to also install amarok engines? [11:04] egs, it's a microdia, in the list of supported cams for skype that's in the ubuntu wiki, it is marked as working [11:04] differentreality: if unrar uses reasonable exit codes, yes [11:04] drafael: *scratches head* in VAX? yes. my VAX professor emailed us in all caps. paragraphs of it [11:04] ompal my ext3 partition is called filesystem in computer look [11:04] velko, my dmesg output tells me it's been initialized, using a certain driver...shouldn't that be enough? [11:04] i have a problem: I would like to have a program with which i could watch real media rtsp streams, I right now use Helix/real player cause thats the only one i have found that allows me to fast forward in the video(mplayer doesn't). But the problem with helix is that i cant chose Alsa and therefore it seems to "lock" the sounddriver to it self, which is not the case with mplayer. so if anyone know how i can get helix to work with Alsa i wo [11:05] kitofhawaii: "/kills self" - If if have to I'll probably just make myself an allcaps conversion script lol [11:05] grindcore, type this: fdisk -l (that is a lower case L) -- I want that result [11:05] intrepidlytrite, which video driver are you using? uvcvideo? [11:05] differentreality: $1 is the first argument, e.g if you typed scriptname -x, $1=-x [11:06] intrepidlytrite, i was able to see my webcam trough "sudo lsusb" and in dmesg but wasn't able to use it until i loaded the kernel module "gspca" (it's a logitech webcam) [11:07] velko: having trouble with a logitech webcam here. how did you load gspca? every time i plug in, uvcvideo gets loaded. [11:07] drafael: nah...actually VAX assembly language was a higher level programming language than C++..i never got over programming machine code using something that looked like basic [11:07] ompaul - doesnt show anything :( [11:07] drafael, yes i know $1 :) (one of the little things i do know..) the thing is how I will be able to check if unrar was successful.. [11:07] differentreality: $? [11:07] egs, how do I find that out again? [11:08] ompaul: i cannot answer your query, i am not registered at the moment [11:08] "lsusb" [11:08] oops, "lsmod" [11:08] i type $? press enter and get the msg bash: 0: command not found [11:08] differentreality: echo $? [11:08] egs_, i either use the precompiled gscpa modules for my current kernel or the gspca sources (and compile them against the kernel with module-assistent) [11:08] grindcore, you are not doing it right, Q1 have you a terminal open? Q2 did you type sudo -i in it Q3 fdisk -l << where that l is lower case) [11:08] ec34534, try it I am open to messages from anyone [11:08] differentreality: && should mean "only do the next statement if the previous was successful" although someone correct me very fast if I'm wrong here [11:08] right :))) ( i get though 127 !! ) [11:09] hahaha [11:09] egs, I've got two loaded, one is the gspca and the other the sn9c102 [11:09] differentreality: $? is exit code of last command. Try "echo $?" [11:09] velko, i have gspca compiled and installed. but when I plug the cam in, it loads uvcvideo instead [11:09] drafael, i hope you are not cause i'm gonna try do this script really soon :P [11:09] differentreality: for the love of love, test it first x_x [11:09] egs_, strange. on my machine uvcvideo is not loaded at all [11:10] MZM, no that doesnt work.. echo $? does work... it's just weird that i get 127 instead of 0 since the unrar was successful... [11:10] drafael, i will :) [11:10] ompaul - i've done everything how u said and now i tried again - doesnt show nothing [11:10] egs_, gscpa uses videodev, v4l2_common and v4l1_compat [11:11] grindcore, it has to - thats the law [11:11] differentreality: try this: "nonexistingcommand" enter "echo $?" enter "echo $?" enter [11:11] *cough*prefix with sudo*cough* [11:11] kitofhawaii: well, I like what little C I know so far anyway, whatever the future may bring - it seems pretty easy to understand, and there are no .'s which I despise -_-;; [11:11] kitofhawaii: or random capitalization [11:11] grindcore, so one quick question, what does it say in that terminal, what are the words on each side of they @ [11:11] velko, which logitech cam do you have ? mine is a logitech quickcam notebook pro. [11:11] s/they/the [11:11] yeah.. that works fine.. i get 127 and then 0 [11:11] hi folks [11:12] hmm.. [11:12] let me try it with unrar one more time [11:12] egs_, did you tried to blacklist uvcvideo in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local? [11:12] oh. root terminal. [11:12] velko, didn't know about that, let me try it... [11:12] differentreality: look for bash built-in exit codes. IIRC 127 was command not found... [11:12] drafael, c is fun .. but you should get used to segfaults, once you're playing around with pointers [11:13] one more thing.. i've got some filenames that contain space ... [11:13] drafael: well just one suggestion. comment. when in doubt comment. over comment. or else you'll lose your hair debugging [11:13] differentreality: "\ " [11:13] zimon: I'm still in VERY early stages lol, but okay :D [11:13] Hi [11:13] egs_, the format is "blacklist uvcvideo". by the way i have blacklisted "snd_usb_audio" [11:13] hi [11:13] hi manny [11:13] I use the gutsy+gusty-updates repository [11:13] wols, tnx tnx tnx :) [11:14] gutsy-updates provided a libqt4 update: 4.3.2-0ubuntu3.1 [11:14] ompaul grindcore@hp:~$ [11:14] now, trying to install qt4-dev-tools yields " qt4-dev-tools: Depends: libqt4-core (= 4.3.2-0ubuntu3) but 4.3.2-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed [11:14] " [11:14] kitofhawaii: haha, ok - that script I was trying to get a working sed expression for replaces my terrible variable names throughout the script if I comment them in when I declare them, which I prefer doing [11:14] egs_, my model is some sort of quickcam also. but can't remember which exactly [11:14] I've got a little problem with name resolution on my local network.

But it seems that 1st partition has to be M$ compatible sto windows will install. What can I do? thinking of moving linux partion from 1st to 2nd but don't know how [11:52] grindcore, so your instuctions are, (A) init=/bin/bash (B) mount -o remount,rw / (C) adduser yourUserName admin (D)mount -o remount,ro / (E) reboot and enjoy [11:52] differentreality: there are no stupid mistakes, just stupid bandaids :) [11:53] grindcore__, reboot is an instruction [11:53] heh ok :)) [11:53] ompaul - ok i go to try :) [11:54] sorry this might be a stupid question but why do I get E: Couldn't find package apache 2 when i did 'sudo apt-get install apache2' ?

[12:04] differentreality: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47523/ [12:05] steve_b, me.. but in windows :P so.. i'm not gonna be of much help [12:05] drafael, run away? hahaha [12:05] I'm trying t oget Windows XP running on vmware server and all I see is a black screen [12:05] ompal - can u put again this instructions there please - i lost connection :( [12:05] I've set up several vmware servers in windows [12:05] the bit of windows setup that was in text mode worked, but once it get past that onto the graphical bit I can't see anything [12:06] ompaul - can u put again this instructions there please - i lost connection :( [12:06] Locksm: 7.04 -> feisty fawn, 7.10 -> gutsy gibbon [12:07] grindcore, so your instuctions are, (A) init=/bin/bash (B) mount -o remount,rw / (C) adduser yourUserName admin (D)mount -o remount,ro / (E) reboot and enjoy [12:07] Hehe, ok, then ill have to report to this danish forum, cuz then their misleading folks! [12:07] thx for the quick info [12:07] has anyone ever got iTunes to work on Ubuntu? I have been trying to get it working under a virtual machine with no luck... [12:08] ompaul and this init... i'm writing in edit of root - grub edit> root (hd0,0) ? [12:08] steve_b: running wine? [12:08] differentreality: did you get that? [12:08] grindcore, you are doing it from recovery [12:08] brb [12:09] ompaul - i select e when i point on recovery but then is 3 lines there - root; kernel; initrd [12:09] drafael, no what ? [12:10] grindcore, kernel [12:10] differentreality: PM [12:11] hi [12:11] hi, i need help with the path for the sudo command... === amil_the_swimmer is now known as AHSSAKI [12:12] toro1: what? [12:12] ompaul - and select this kernel with 'e' aswell or with 'c' ? [12:12] toro1: explain === nand_ is now known as nand [12:12] hey. i got wierd problem, i connect to a computer from windows and edit file in the 2nd computer in lan (ubuntu) with samba.. its saves me the file only when i quit from the file, if i do ctrl+s its not saves it... only when i close... anyone have a clue what i could be the problem ? (the chmod is 664) [12:12] drafael, i said ur script is a little long :p [12:13] sudo works fine with the general set of commands (ls, cp, mv etc.) However, I just installed texLive and sudo for some reason cannot reach the texLive commands, even though I have added the path. [12:13] grindcore, you want to edit it with e -- follow the onscreen instuctions [12:13] differentreality: :P [12:13] but it's good :P [12:13] is there a beginners ubunto chat room I can get into somewhere? [12:13] Anyone good with airodump? [12:13] grindcore, at the end you want to do something like [12:13] grindcore, boot the box and then you want to do the add user stuff [12:14] differentreality: I'm putting the whole thing in a for loop to try get you multiple input files [12:14] PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH is what I did to add the texlive directory to path. [12:14] drafael, and i guess works better with people who are not familiar with the script... i mean i know what i wrote in MY script and what input i have to give.. [12:14] drafael, yeah that would be my next step as well :)) [12:14] differentreality: oh, ok, sure [12:14] Lumpy^: i'm a bit confused...you're editing it in windows or ubuntu? [12:14] hi [12:14] Lumpy^: maby it's ctrl+w or something in the prog. you are in. as long as you can save it has nothing to do with chmod [12:15] 1 computer have that file and im editing it with windows xp [12:15] its lan [12:15] remote access... [12:15] Lumpy^: ah, i windows. sorry then i don't know [12:15] differentreality: in that case, these may help: $# counts no. arguments, and you can use "for i in `seq 1 $#`" to iterate the number of times that there are arguments [12:16] ompaul - when I select edit the kernel there is long command line - when i put on the end this init... nothing happen - i should delete all line and then put ? [12:16] Lumpy^: sounds like the app. try file -> save and see if that works [12:16] differentreality: alternately, you can do everything on the $1 argument, "shift" every time you're finished and reiterate until $# = 0 [12:16] i tried zend, notepad, dreamweaver... [12:16] any editor [12:16] differentreality: there are probably other ways, but yep [12:16] its saves me it with delay, or just saves it once i close [12:16] grindcore, yeap [12:16] !airodump [12:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about airodump - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:17] toro1: added what path?

( i've already reinstalled ubuntu) [12:17] drafael, heh ok :)) [12:18] yabuk: they're putting linux on blenders now? crazy :) [12:18] sjovan: I am not sure I understand the question, but, I ran PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH on the terminal to access the files in the directory without being in the directory. I can do it from the terminal. For instance: if I run texconfig, it works (without being in the directory). But sudo texconfig gives "command not found" [12:19] тут є дівчата? [12:19] hi! I have not sound in my kubuntu 7.04, what should I do? [12:20] kitofhawaii: linux on blenders?? [12:21] hello! I have a wierd problem: I'm using Gutsy i386.

There's several good distros out there, but I tend to .ike Debian/Ubuntu. [12:24] kitofhawaii:please, write again the command [12:25] Dual question! I have a bunch of flacs wich do not have the MD5SUM set in STREAMINFO meaning flac -t doesn't work. 1) Can I verify their integrity some other way? By making flac go through them for errors or so? 2) How do I add an md5sum to their STREAMINFO? [12:25] yabuk: sudo apt-get upgrade blender [12:25] hi [12:25] thanks [12:25] yabuk: might be easier in synaptic, see all the packages you'll need to upgrade after the upgrade [12:25] hi folks [12:26] anybody using gdesklets here?

[12:27] steve_b: you can run it w/ wine.., but i think its succcess varies. [12:27] !itunes | steve_b [12:27] steve_b: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [12:27] bidossessi: *looks for it* i'll fire it up [12:27] anyone know how to start liferea so it just apears in the tray? [12:27] steve_b: what do yuou use itunes for?.. [12:27] IndyGunFreak: Until trying Debian, I had no idea what it was I didn't like about "linux"... [12:27] IndyGunFreak: it was packages the whole time! [12:27] i just went to the nasa tv page, and it automaticcly opened a full screeen page that seems to be the live feed, is this full screen page what i think it is?? and how does it do it, because realplayer does not work.?? [12:28] MarcoRamius, this is a support channel - chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:28] IndyGunFreak so that I can use my iPod. It's the latest generation of ipods and since I tried to use it with linux it is basically £160 worthof paperweight [12:28] MarcoRamius: lol, yeah. Debian is a great distro, and apt-get/synaptic is far superior to anything RH could dream up. [12:28] steve_b: use amarok... sudo apt-get install amarok. [12:28] sjovan: this is also somewhat of a curiosity... why doesn't sudo work with the PATH? does it have its own PATH definition somewhere? can it be edited? [12:28] ompaul - i'm so stupid with console,... i need to learn lot of :( [12:28] IndyGunFreak I tried that - it killed my ipod [12:28] kitofhawaii:blebder doesn't work yet :( === desti_T2 is now known as desti [12:29] steve_b: then you did something wrong, I've used Amarko w/ my IPODs for about 2yrs, no issues at all. [12:29] differentreality: I have something that seems to work [12:29] IndyGunFreak Amarok only supports up to 5.5 gen iPods, mine is 6th gen [12:29] differentreality: although I've only tried it for the scenario where the filenames are correct [12:29] steve_b: i've got a 6th gen video... no issues. [12:29] bidossessi: sorry, don't have it or dependencies... [12:29] Is it possible to let every flash file start in medium quality (instead of high) ? [12:29] grindcore, get an older CD from anywhere backup your data and reinstall your base o/s [12:30] never mind then [12:30] IndyGunFreak really? and it works? Mine was literally called 'iPod Classic' and it doesn't work very well with linux [12:30] drafael, i need to try a couple of things... if you want show me urs === Hirvinen_ is now known as Hirvinen [12:30] differentreality: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47526/ [12:30] Hi! I know this probably is side-topic, but Ubuntu people must definitely know. What is the $Id: replacement in BZR? [12:31] (and bazaar channels are empty :) [12:31] ompaul - i have idea, but dont know if i can do this - can i logon like a root someway and open k3b a burn this dvd ? [12:31] steve_b: try sudo apt-get install gtkpod [12:31] hello [12:31] IndyGunFreak I tried that too! rust me I tried everything - nothing works with iPod lcassic. [12:31] steve_b: very weird, [12:31] steve_b have you tried gtkpod? [12:32] grindcore, if you can't do what I gave you do to then you can't get there either - it is the same path [12:32] steve_b: i suspect you're doing something wrong... not the the other way around. [12:32] IndyGunFreak it's becasue the new ipod classic uses encrypted databases - and no one has released driers to decrypt them yet on linuix [12:32] steve_b: i see... [12:33] IndyGunFreak Apple have done it on purpose - to stop anyone accessing their iPod with anything other than iTunes [12:33] grindcore, I have to go for a bit - back as soon as possible [12:33] steve_b: sounds like it. [12:34] ompaul - i just open the users and groups :) i dont know how its possible but i can open -:) yes yes yes yes [12:34] k9copy crashes [12:35] in advanced setting of my account in the shell line should be this ? : 'bin/bash ?

[12:39] * IndyGunFreak never gets caught in the nijck collisions [12:39] ............ [12:39] sharperguy: flux is a completelydifferent menu system setup. [12:39] sharperguy: fluxbox requires you to manually do it using a text editor iirc [12:39] it requires editing some file, but im not 100% sure. [12:39] oof [12:39] isnt there a generate menu script:? [12:39] steve_b: what did you want to know? [12:39] I've lost 'Menus & Toolbars' from under System > Preferences ... How do I get it back? [12:40] hi [12:40] neuro_: he can't get a 6th gen IPOD working w/ Ubuntu... seems its a well known problem with no solution as of yet. [12:40] neuro_ I have installed vmware and set up a virtual machine. now I am stuck [12:40] neuro_ I could do the text mode part of windows install, but now it has got to graphical part and the console screen is just black [12:41] steve_b: did you get the virtual machine booted? [12:41] erb_: is it under appearances maybe? errrrr if not, try menu editor, or alacarte [12:41] IndyGunFreak yeah it booted, but I can't see any graphics so I can't even get windows installed [12:41] vmware player? server?

[12:42] neuro_ Windows XP Professional [12:42] MikeH, yeah, its not install in fact [12:42] IndyGunFreak I tried virtual box and it worked but there was no usb support [12:42] steve_b: vmware server might work but i've heard there's issues with usb 2.0 and syncing devices [12:42] ok. [12:43] In /etc/sudoers, is there some sort of variable, to represent the username running the sudo? [12:43] kitofhawaii what do you recommend - I need to run iTunes and access my iPod [12:43] steve_b: well...you can set your usb to 1.1 [12:43] steve_b: hardly a workaround [12:43] steve_b: just doing some googling, I've saw where some people have downgraded their firmware, or used Roxbox firmware, to make their 6th gens work, but it hink that would be a bit extreme.

[12:53] IndyGunFreak I finally got fed up with crappy windows xp and decided to get rid of it just after buying my ipod. Actually I was intending to dual boot but then my windows disk broke [12:53] steve_b: i see.... [12:53] steve_b: steve_b: do you have xen installed as well? [12:54] kitofhawaii no [12:54] niteye: sorry.. it has nothing to do with the filesystem.. just that it's a linux partition.. look here for a long list of id's http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html [12:54] steve_b: look at the very last post on this page, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=549141&page=5 [12:54] WHAY [12:54] EC [12:54] steve_b: and i thinkt his is the program he's talking about... http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ [12:54] niteye: luksOpen? what is that? [12:54] hi someone please help me abt my kubuntu problem [12:55] a part of cryptsetup to create encrypted partitions [12:55] samali: caps lock.. or broken shift key.. fix it [12:55] WHAY EC34 [12:55] !caps | samali [12:55] samali: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [12:55] IndyGunFreak cheers - I will look at it now and let you know if I have any luck [12:55] steve_b: ok.. i'm curious.. so get back to us. [12:55] !grub [12:55] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:56] niteye: ah.. never used that.. but if it's not working I think you'll have to look for another reason than the partition id.. [12:56] IndyGunFreak don't worry - I'm not going anywhere for a while. I'll let you know if I resolve this [12:56] lol [12:56] ompaul, smali is a mild troll. please take a look at his comments - only offtopic and all caps [12:56] IndyGunFreak also if this works I'm gonna make a donation to their project too becasue I've been tearing my hair out for days over this [12:57] steve_b: you'll be hapy to know you're not alone apparently in having a black screen... [12:57] steve_b: i would say that would be good. [12:57] steve_b: you use compiz by any chance? === _ELGOD is now known as ELGOD [12:57] Can somebody please tell me how to launch 'Menus & Toolbars' without going through 'System > Preferences' as my icon has been deleted [12:57] kitofhawaii yes i do - is that the problem? [12:58] What is the virtual server of choice for gutsy? wasn't there something released with gutsy? [12:58] steve_b: well i'd try it without it real quick...see if it's that [12:58] erb_: I don't have a "Menus and toolsbars" but "Main menu" launches "alacarte" [12:59] kitofhawaii I'll try that in one minute - I need to try something else quickly first [12:59] TheMafia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen === recon0 is now known as recon [12:59] TheMafia: i use vmware server peronally [12:59] erb_: Actually that whole thing has been deleted, not just the icon. It was decided that since most apps don't listen to the settings in there anyway there was no point in having it [12:59] Thanks sharperguy [13:00] kitofhawaii, is vmwareserver installable by apt? [13:00] IndyGunFreak my ipod wont even mount now - it's completely messed up [13:00] IndyGunFreak I think this yamipod thing might work but I really need to use iTunes first to restore my ipod [13:01] steve_b: i see what you're saying,.... [13:01] OK, I accidentally removed or moved the 'Internet' menu from under the 'Applications' menu with alacarte. How do I get it back? [13:01] why won't your IPOD work now? [13:01] IndyGunFreak brb [13:01] kitofhawaii brb - trying to disable compiz [13:01] erb_: Click the "Revert" button [13:01] TheMafia: yes, but make sure to read the install guide for it on vmware's site...it can be tricky if you don't know the options when it prompts you for them [13:02] steve_b: if you're using gnome, alt-f2 "metacity --replace" [13:02] shiiiiit why isn't my data partition accessible anymore, yesterday it worked aaargh [13:02] Amaranth: I've already tried revert and it didn't work. [13:02] erb_: rm -rf ~/.config/menus/* [13:03] * IndyGunFreak looks at yamipod thats a pretty cool program actually... [13:03] can I install windows xp through xen? [13:03] kitofhawaii: i think yamipod will fix his issue. [13:03] IndyGunFreak I have messed up the filesystem by keep disconnecting it without ejecting [13:03] TheMafia: however, i use esx server at the office, so i'm a bit jaded about my choice in vm
