[00:00] ikonia, I considered contacting the technical support, but then I figured if it's the same connection, same MAC address and same card, they probably wouldn't get any extra details at their end (ie then don't know which OS I'm using), so it was probably a ubuntu issue [00:00] soundray_: thats plausable but it appears to be some sort of credentials auth thats being offered [00:00] Stwange: they will get info as they may see things change in their logs [00:00] im away for a while [00:00] Stwange: but really, I think your network support people should know what you need to do. [00:01] Stwange: unless they are a stubborn blockhead MS shop, which universities fortunately tend not to be. [00:01] thanks ikonia and soundray_. I'll try contacting them, but there's usually limited support for linux [00:01] yeah :) [00:01] Stwange: it won't matter your OS, your interested in their access logs [00:01] Stwange: shouldn't matter what OS you have, more a case of what's changing in their logs [00:01] Stwange: you just need to find the nerd who's on your side then ;) [00:02] Should I use 64 bit? I am using hardy. flash isn't too neccessary. [00:02] also I am using gnome. [00:02] FireHazard17: 1.) why are you using hardy 2.) why do you want 64bit [00:02] FireHazard17: if you have to ask that, I would strongly advise against trying hardy [00:02] hi i have intel 3100 and when i strat movie in fullscreen he laginig [00:02] FireHazard: 64 bit, is basically a headache, especcially wouldnt try it in hardyy.. [00:02] enybody help me? [00:03] wow you guys are negative [00:03] thanks ikonia and soundray_. I've gtg, but if they don't fix it I'll be back Schwarzenegger style ;) [00:03] FireHazard17: no, we are realistic in offering sound advice [00:03] Exactly [00:03] FireHazard17: 32-bit gutsy would be a more ... pleasurable experience =).. less bumps on the way.. [00:03] slimaq: please ask your question [00:03] i have intel 3100 and when i strat movie in fullscreen he laginig [00:03] If it wasn't for trying new unstable thing 7/10 of us wouldn't be using linux [00:03] FireHazard17: no, we just hear the squeals of people who have burnt themselves with alpha software everyday. So any pre-alpha software will probably be worse. [00:03] slimaq: is the movie hd [00:03] anyone here uses ipv6? i just started using tunnelbroker, i cant semm to ping6 another ipv6 address..you have one I can test to ping? [00:04] no [00:04] avi [00:04] soundray_: ok [00:04] FireHazard17: thats nosense [00:04] how do i exit xserver and kill opengl [00:04] ikonia: oh really? [00:04] FireHazard17: yes, really [00:04] <|rly|> the wiki doesn't help a bit [00:04] timewriter:can u help me out? [00:04] ok then [00:04] FireHazard17: but if you don't mind tinkering.. compiling.. bug-reporting and such.. go ahead with 64-bit hardy [00:04] FireHazard17: unfortunately your question indicates that you're not one of the select few who will negotiate the hurdles successfully. [00:04] Templar-> you can /etc/init.d/gdm stop? [00:04] FireHazard17: use what you want, but remember you will get no support for hardy as a user [00:04] Slart: I love doing those things [00:05] FireHazard17: you have the warnings and the options, do with it as you will [00:05] FireHazard17: Give it a shot!! Just create a new partition and you can leave an existing partition available for fall-back. [00:05] FireHazard17: then don't let us stop you.. go install 64bit hardy [00:05] FireHazard17: go ahead then, and remember the IRC channel is #ubuntu+1 [00:05] 60% of my software is compiled from source anyway [00:05] FireHazard17: then you will break your package manager. good luck [00:05] Then you are welcome to try firehazard! [00:05] Haha, oh wow [00:06] ikonia: I agree, we are negative ;) [00:06] having a package manager conflict in a fast changing development release = doom [00:06] * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ ikonia [00:06] FireHazard17: just out of curiosity.. why ubuntu.. why not slackware.. fedora centos.. or something else where you get to do all that stuff.. [00:06] I don't know [00:06] ikonia:can i set my status away in bitchx? [00:06] never took the time to switch [00:06] n15t0: thats not allowed in #ubuntu [00:07] Slart: add Debian Sid to the list ( FireHazard17) [00:07] FireHazard17: or one of those.. "build if from the ground and up"-distros [00:07] ikonia:okay but just that i know how can i do it? [00:07] n15t0: you can [00:07] ikonia:i wont do it in this cahnnel [00:07] n15t0: its server wide, you can't set it on a per-channel basis === tobel is now known as ihix [00:08] ikonia:okay thx [00:08] Can anyone tell me why in Bluefish the tabs aren't draggable but this says they are: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TabConsistency ? [00:08] Debian.. are they still at Sid? sheesh I used sid.. must have been a couple of years ago [00:08] ikonia:and can i save my settings in bitchx? like the name and the server? [00:08] n15t0: for the 10th time, yes [00:08] n15t0: you've asked that about 10 times [00:09] n15t0: either learn to listen and make notes, or stop asking the same question over and over [00:09] * Slart install bluefish [00:09] its my second time [00:09] because i didnt get an answer [00:09] n15t0: no its not [00:09] n15t0: 5 people answered you, and you thanked 2, I have it in my logs [00:09] well then i was away [00:09] do you guys recommend using Bluefish in ubuntu or nvu? [00:10] join #compiz-fusion [00:10] sry [00:10] kev_b: hmm.. I can't drag my tabs either.. let's check that link.. perhaps it's for a newer version [00:11] -c <#ubuntu> [00:11] n15t0: asking for help, then ignoring the help is incredibly rude. Being "sry" is not enough. [00:12] BitchX has a large # of web sites covreing its ussage also. [00:12] This makes cheery reading : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring [00:12] i am just looking for the infos i get [00:12] i cant be at 2 different shells at one time [00:12] n15t0, with 'screen' you can. :) [00:13] !info screen [00:13] screen: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation.

[00:14] amir__: use the package manager, such as "synaptic" [00:14] autocad [00:15] -c [00:15] n15t0: why do you keep saying "-c" [00:15] amir__: forget it, it won't run on Linux. Stick with Windows or Mac OS [00:15] how do you edit what services are running, like ssh, ftp, etc [00:15] anyone have any success with compiz in xubuntu with a mobility radeon m6? [00:15] <|rly|> I cannot be heard on skype, I've tried all that comes in the wiki... nothing works [00:15] amir__: I don't think autocad is available for ubuntu.. there might be an open source alternative.. I don't know [00:15] thank u very much [00:15] zaxius: netstat -a |grep LISTEN [00:15] another question [00:15] zaxius: ps -ef | more [00:15] amir_: there was a recent article in LXF about cad on linux [00:16] wireless...how can i intall the driver [00:16] because in the man bitchx stands that -c channel then i can automatically join the cahnnel [00:16] ikonia: no but how do you edit them? like if i want to make the ssh daemon run by default at bootup [00:16] !info qcad [00:16] qcad: A professional CAD System.

[00:16] wireless problem [00:17] n15t0, its a COMMAND line option to BitchX [00:17] iknoia:in which window then? [00:17] hi all [00:17] n15t0: one that BitchX isn't running in [00:17] dablueman: Ubuntu devs don't usually hang out here I think [00:17] k [00:17] very well, why is it that only security bugs get fixed in ubuntu and not other bugs [00:17] scguy318: there are a few in [00:17] some help with wireless problem [00:17] ikonia, do you know? [00:17] dablueman: bugs do get fixed [00:17] dablueman: All get fixed. [00:17] thats what backports is for. [00:17] oh yeah, like what [00:17] dablueman: security ones will get a higher priority normally due to it being a security issue [00:17] isent it. [00:18] dablueman: go into launchapd and view closed bugs [00:18] i need help with the wireless [00:18] for example [00:18] can anybody suggest me a good guide for shell scripting? Thanks [00:18] hi, my Appearance Preferences have been "Extra" enabled, how do I get the CUBE to function? my windows get the enhanced effect, but i cant get the CUBE to work [00:18] dablueman: have a look on the bugteacker, there are many non-security bugs fixed [00:18] slow dns lookups in every aplication that uses net work [00:18] sidelil: http://www.tldp.org - good guides [00:18] sidelil: /join #bash and read the topic there. [00:18] the cube [00:18] dablueman: where is that bug logged [00:18] i will check this launchepad [00:19] sidelil: google for advanced bash scripting guide [00:19] dablueman: wasn't that a ipv6 issue? seem to recall something like that [00:19] it is on there [00:19] dablueman: dns lookups are very quikc on my ubuntu machines, please post the log [00:19] dablueman: most of us don't actually memorize thousands of bug ID numbers, believe it or not. [00:19] has it been committed to the main ubuntu tree [00:19] tonyyarusso: speak for yourself mortal [00:19] amir: yea the ubuntu cube effects [00:19] thank you all! [00:19] ikonia: Sorry, that space in my head is keeping track of irssi windows. :P [00:19] can we go private devs to speak of this [00:19] dablueman: please show me the bug [00:20] dablueman: no, speak in the channel [00:20] ok wait 30 secs [00:20] dablueman: they fix bugs.. they might not fix a specific bug right away.. but eventually they'll get to it.. if you want it fixed, have a go at it yourself.. or if you've got lots of cash hire someone to do it.. [00:20] okay,so thx to all who helped me with my problems [00:20] gn8 everyone === MarcoZ is now known as MarcoZ[OFF] [00:21] good night n15t0 [00:21] and have fun with ubuntu [00:21] good night Slart [00:21] cya all [00:21] in ubuntu 7.10, what is the cube keystroke?

I created a launcher with the command ssh -X foo@foo.com and it throws up a dialog for the password then nothing opens after that . . .

[00:24] next release!!??? [00:24] hello I have a problem with my sound. At random times my sound does not work. It may be from certain running software but it seems that my drivers are broken. When I change the sound volumes, the icon shows that its being muted and unmuted. Any help? [00:24] you mean hardyheron [00:24] dablueman: yes [00:24] I have to wait that long for this to be fixed? [00:24] heatmzzr: what media player are you using? [00:24] dablueman: yes, it may get back ported [00:24] dablueman: there is a work around detailed in that bug report [00:25] Just FYI, I already fixed it for me, but what about every other Ubuntu user out there? [00:25] They are being plagued by this. [00:25] dablueman: there is a work around in the bug report and a fix is being released and back ported [00:25] Dr_willis: yeah gnome had it . . . *shrug* -e works fine thnx :) [00:26] Yes, I understand, but why doesn't it get updated by the little update tool that I have installed on my system :( [00:26] Question, I have just installed Ubuntu 7.10, my ATL Raedon 9600 card is running the latest drivers and i have xerver-xgl installed, however under System > Pref > I dont have the "Desktop Effects" option to enable Desktop Cube, help?

[00:28] Hi. When I try to use emule it reports that I am behind a firewall. I know that the router has a firewall turned off. Is there one in Ubuntu hidden? [00:28] tupson: you can do "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" [00:28] dablueman: I'm not interested in your fix [00:28] not really my fix, but I did contirbute [00:28] dablueman: update the launchpad bug [00:28] very well [00:28] dablueman: you will have another work around, not a fix [00:28] i'm runnig ubuntu server and i need to open a port on my firewall, whats the best way to do that? [00:28] dablueman: the fix is pending, if you read ht ebook report [00:28] whileimhere: there is a firewall in linux.. but it's usually "disabled". [00:28] robr: what firewall are you using === mpatters is now known as hudyx [00:28] Slart how can I check it? [00:28] a workaround it is then [00:29] ikonia: i don't know the default? [00:29] dablueman: there is already a work around in the bug report [00:29] whileimhere: you can check by running "sudo iptables -L" if there are more than about 3 lines of output it's probably active [00:29] robr: there is no firewall running by default [00:29] very well === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:29] ikonia: ok thanks for the info [00:29] Slart there are about well 3 lines [00:30] do ubuntu developers get paid to work on ubuntu [00:30] dablueman: some do [00:30] whileimhere: then the firewall is just letting everything through.. disabled if you want [00:30] really [00:30] dablueman: yes [00:30] how come they get paid, are they special or something? [00:30] dablueman: companies sponsor them, but this is offtopic [00:31] offtopic, its about ubuntu [00:31] ubuntu support [00:31] :) [00:31] whileimhere: are you behind some kind of router? perhaps you need to setup some kind of forwarding rule.. [00:31] I have the feeling that I'm bugging you, so I'll stop talking to you for a while. [00:32] dablueman: this is a support channel, not a chat channel [00:32] very well [00:32] Slart: I set up the port forwarding just like normal with GTK-GNUTELLA but amule says I am firewalled. I double checked the prefs as well [00:32] Hello every body [00:32] whileimhere: it is probably your router [00:32] how do you get your windows to have different effects when they vanish [00:33] is there an mplayer key combo for disabling subtitles [00:33] whileimhere: aMule probably uses a different port which you have to forward, or am I misreading your issue? [00:33] Do you konw a little bit about alsa and external sound card ? [00:33] When I log into the router (aka my DSL modem) I check the firewall settings and they say that the firewall is off and allowing all traffic. [00:33] whileimhere: hmm.. perhaps you forgot some ports? forwarded the wrong ones? didn't apply your changes? what ports are we talking about btw? under 1024? [00:34] whileimhere: you probably need portforwarding [00:34] can someone plz hlep me. At random times my sound driver becomes unable to open and unknown [00:34] whileimhere: but the forwarding rules still need to be established, else how can your router map outgoing connections to internal endpoints? [00:34] Scguy318 no I want to use amule which I set up for port 5000 [00:34] whileimhere: *incoming [00:34] whileimhere: you probably need to add a forward entry for that port if you haven't already [00:34] ping: you can change this in the compiz settings thingy.. System, preferences, appearance or Advanced Desktop Effects settings [00:35] * Pelo spots freshmeat [00:35] Slart: thanks that worked! [00:35] ok thanks slart my buddy just helped me with it i thought that was where it was i just didn't know what to do [00:35] i deleted an image by accident... how can i recover this? [00:35] ubun00b: nope its gone unless it's in your trash bin [00:36] tupson: great.. you're welcome.. now stay around and tell the same thing to the next person that asks that question ;) [00:36] ubun00b, is itstill in the trash can ? [00:36] hehe, i am documenting it now :) [00:36] ikonia: it seems it was to big to go in the trash [00:36] ubun00b: then it's gone [00:36] to=too [00:36] aarg [00:36] ubun00b: that must have been a very big image [00:36] ping: you're welcome.. always good with live help sitting next to you =) [00:36] over 3gb to be too big for the bin [00:36] ikonia: about 4GB [00:36] Does anybody know if Gutsy can be loaded on the Asus EEE yet? There were problems with the acpi drivers not being GNU compliant and warrenty problems about removing the version of 'Asus linux'. [00:36] ubun00b, I wasn't aware that the trash in linux had a size limit, it's not lke the recycling bin in windows , [00:37] when it was first released anyway [00:37] how do I theme synaptic? [00:37] Pelo: 3.$something gig [00:37] heartsblood: there is a UK company that sells it with Gutsy preinstalled [00:37] heartsblood, there was an article about it on diggs a few days ago , I think they did it [00:37] J-_: its gtk themes [00:37] ikonia, that sucks [00:37] J-_, its ran as root, so you need to run the theme tools as root... that will set the theme for synatpic [00:37] ikonia: i tried to delete the rar files with the command 'rm *.r**' [00:37] soundray_, you wouldn't happen to know the name of the company do you? [00:37] ubun00b: you told me it was an image, not a rar file [00:37] ikonia: somehow the image file was deleted in the process [00:37] ikonia: I have a murrine theme, installed it. I'm using it currently, but synaptic isn't themed proper. [00:38] heartsblood: I can look it up [00:38] ubun00b, thats a lot of *'s :) [00:38] ubun00b: its gone now [00:38] ikonia: well, i had extracted the iso file from the multiple rar files [00:38] J-_: it runs of the same gtk engine as gnome [00:38] ubun00b, cd to ~/.Trash , see if it is in there , the command is ls [00:38] I just installed alltray. But i can't figure out how to make it work. [00:38] * Dr_willis wonders if ** is different from * in a filetype glob. [00:38] ubun00b: it's gone if its not in the bin [00:38] what are the better distros, other than ubuntu? [00:38] heartsblood: http://efficientpc.co.uk/laptops/ [00:38] heatmzzr: thats personal opinion, and quite argumentative to ask in #ubuntu [00:38] heatmzzr, it depends on your needs. Ive seen very few that are better. [00:38] Pelo: i have, it seems it's gone... arg [00:39] Dr_willis: in zsh, **/ will be recursive [00:39] heatmzzr: I like Puppy Linux [00:39] heatmzzr, gentoo seems popular, opensuse is also well liked, and there is always debian [00:39] how do I turn on highspeed usb for usb2.0 pls?? I am getting about 10MB/sec transfer with my usb hard drive [00:39] PuppyLinux is darn handy. [00:39] anyone especially bored and know their way around usb wireless connecitons? [00:39] Pelo: found the article you were talking about, ty. [00:39] ubun00b, you've been in denail, no you are ready for anger [00:39] soundray_, looking at it now [00:39] Pelo, that would of been funnier with out the typos. :) [00:40] BSG75, it should be turned on by default [00:40] Hmm I have port 5000 forwarded on TCP and UDP [00:40] how do I check whats using my sound card? [00:40] Dr_willis, most of what I write would be better without typos ;( [00:40] BSG75: that isn't enough? sounds reasonable for a hard drive or something [00:40] BSG75: USB HD transfer rates are limited to 30MB/sec, so you're not that far from the optimum [00:40] Pelo: denial you mean? i sure am kind of pissed now, yes :-) [00:40] ubun00b: please watch your language [00:40] Pelo: it is doing a real poor job .. hdparm -t -T shows 28MB/sec .. however it is nowhere close to that in RL copy/paste [00:41] BSG75: it's a hardware limitation [00:41] ubun00b, give it a few minutes and you'll be ready for acceptance [00:41] any site with screenshots of ubuntu running compiz? [00:41] ikonia: it was said with a smile... [00:41] ubun00b: so ? that doesn't make it any less offensive language [00:41] Extravert: I'm not sure about this.. but perhaps lsof will show you something.. don't know if soundcards are files in linux..but perhaps [00:41] Slart: thanks [00:41] BSG75, I can't help you get any better, my own usb stuff seems a bit slow on copying to, copying from usb is much quicker [00:42] ikonia: well, everything should be viewed in it's context [00:42] ikonia, give the kid a break, he just lost 4 gig of data [00:42] i think anyway [00:42] how can it be hardware limit when the same drive on the same machine on winXP gets 27MB/sec?? :( [00:42] Pelo: I will try an discrete usb card .. turn off usb onboard [00:42] ubun00b: I'm not aruging, please just watch your language [00:42] X fingers and pray [00:42] ikonia: oki [00:42] what's the program called that themes gtk? I want to gksu the command so th window pops up as root and theme everything, see if that helps. [00:42] thanks guys [00:42] J-_: that won't help. [00:43] J-_: gnome as a desktop applies the theme [00:43] BSG75: 30MB is a hardware limit [00:43] o/ [00:43] BSG75, best of luck let me know if you figure things out, also check in the forum for other stuff ppl have treid, www.ubuntuforums.lorg [00:43] thanks Pelo.. thanks Soundray [00:43] ikonia: then how can I make synaptic and other root windows use a theme? [00:43] .lorg [00:43] is that new? [00:43] J-_: I'm surprised they are not [00:44] kappakappuccino: probably just a typo.. .org [00:44] yeah ;[ [00:44] ikonia: it's happened before, I forget what I did to get them themed. [00:44] hello, Firefox 2.0.0.11 hangs up and is really choppy when viewing a Javascript Fade Image slideshow. Is this normal..? Any fix for this? (no one was helping me in the Official Firefox support channel) [00:44] t'was a long time ago. but yeah, I'll google I suppose [00:44] rte [00:44] hey [00:44] junkeR: do you have an url? [00:45] soundray_, 30 mb/s means I should be filling up my 2 gig flash in 68 secs ? is is 30mB or 30mb /s ? [00:45] Pelo: gigabit not gigabyte [00:45] megabit not megabyte sorry [00:45] ikonia, thanks [00:45] thanks [00:45] so 8 x more time [00:45] found it! firefox breaks my sound [00:46] #debian [00:46] ikonia: ah hah! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60350 thanks anyway! [00:46] so 8 min more or less to fill up 2 gig, I'M not even close to that , takes me over 30 min [00:46] J-_: well done [00:46] Extravert: lsof worked? [00:46] Pelo (ikonia): 30 megabytes per second is what I meant. Your arithmetic isn't quite right. [00:46] Slart: well lsof | grep "alsa" [00:47] Slart: but my sound is still broken =( [00:47] Extravert: sweeet.. I'll remember that for later... so firefox eats your sound.. flash? [00:47] Slart: probably [00:47] soundray_, 30 mB ? ok my arithmetic is 2 gig x 1024 meg / 30 meg/s = 68 sec [00:48] Extravert: any special site? url? [00:48] * Pelo is gonna start a flame war with soundray_ over this, I hope he is ready [00:48] http://www.couloir.org/ This one is Ajax but performs just like the javascript ones [00:48] anyone have experience with the EVMS bug? [00:48] harking_: which bug is that [00:49] guys .. I downloaded the file with format tar.gz ... how to install it? [00:49] junkeR: well.. it isn't smooth.. but it's still usable.. [00:49] Slart: well I have two problems : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/150129 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/136837 [00:49] http://www.couloir.org/js_slideshow Here is another and performs poorly. These all performed well on a Windows machine [00:49] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/115616 [00:49] evo7, go back to the site whre you got it , see if you can't get a deb file instead, otherwise we'll tell you how to compilie manualy [00:49] I know they're usable but is this something I'll just have to live with? [00:49] ikonia, just wondering what i should do, because i can't remove EVMS without my raid breaking [00:49] :( [00:50] junkeR: the last one was better.. don't know why though.. [00:50] l [00:50] k [00:50] j [00:50] h [00:50] Pelo: I take it all back. You are right. If you do get 30MB written to the disk in a second (which is possible on USB2.0 with recent disks), then you will indeed fill up your 2GB in 68 seconds [00:50] limac, please stop that [00:50] junkeR: hard to tell if it's lagging when you don't have anything to compare with [00:50] i'm trying to install cdemu. i think i got it, except the final 'modprobe' step... can somebody please help? [00:50] Pelo: srry [00:51] * Pelo pats soundray_ on the head [00:51] hello [00:51] harking_: bug is still open [00:51] Opera, Epiphany, Firefox all suffer from it. Flash-based galleries don't suffer. Well I tried a ton of various code examples. Once I would get to a medium sized image it would choke up. It handles small images perfectly htough [00:51] anyone here using apache web server in gutsy? [00:51] ikonia: lol, is the ubuntu bug page your homepage?..lol [00:51] harking_: there is a fix release for the ubuntu update-manager [00:51] * soundray_ grabs Pelos arm and twists it on his back [00:51] IndyGunFreak: its a bookmark [00:51] IndyGunFreak: I use it a lot [00:51] How do I start an app in maximized mode? [00:51] Extravert: haven't run into either of those bugs so far.. perhaps there will be a fix soon.. [00:51] ikonia: i can tell, i don't think i've ever saw a bug mentioned, that you didn't know about, and i'm serious about that. [00:52] evo7, how are you doing , finding a .deb files or do you think we will have to teach you how to compile ? [00:52] ha ha ha [00:52] hey guys was wondering if anyone around was familiar with setting up apache virtual sites, I keep getting 403 errors on my config, I've checked my permissions and all and set them to be 755, so I'm not sure why I keep getting the 403 [00:52] http://creative-wood.com/tempsite/index.php here is a temporary site I'm working on that has a flash and javascript one. It severely lags on the scripting one [00:52] Slart: I bet wine could have caused it [00:52] * Pelo 's typing seems to improve with just the one arm [00:52] * rmaj declares ubuntu officially useless (for people with internet) [00:52] Extravert: wine does strange things to my computer.. I could totally believe wine eating the sound.. [00:52] rmaj: ok, thats great. Thanks for using [00:52] Slart: bullseye [00:52] * IndyGunFreak doesn't want to know what Pelo is doing with the other arm. [00:52] ikonia, i tried removing evms, but the raid broke [00:52] I just installed ubuntu gutsy but X failed to start with an ATI Radeon X700, I just solved the problem and it is not well documented. who should I report the bug to? [00:52] rmaj, we are all on the internet here ans we tend to disagre [00:53] i thought the patch for update-manager was just to allow the removal of evms cleanly [00:53] Slart: wine takes over the sound [00:53] harking_: yes, it will as the volume manager controlls the raid gorup [00:53] Pelo: inet stoped working, and noone can fix this [00:53] group [00:53] junkeR: that last one works nicely.. smooth and nice.. [00:53] rmaj: slating the product won't help you get support [00:53] rmaj, what kind of connection ? [00:53] Pelo, it is better to teach me how to compile the tar.gz file. [00:53] my network doest work (routing table is always empty, even after route add default dev eth0) ... simple DHCP network, worked always... anybody can help? [00:53] evo7: no it's not [00:53] well the top one is flash but the bottom one is javascript. The javascript performs poorly on my PC [00:53] ikonia: asking for solution didn't lead to any solution as well so far [00:53] evo7: not really... its best to stick w/ whats in the repos, only compile if absolutely necessary, [00:53] evo7, ok join me in #pelo , so we can have some quiet time [00:54] is there a gui for building an ipsec turnnel [00:54] Has the flashplugin-nonfree package in the repos benn fixed? [00:54] rmaj: your current attitude won't get you help either, detail your problem and ask politly [00:54] *been [00:54] Odd-rationale: no not yet [00:54] Odd-rationale: hardy back port is being progressed [00:54] junkeR: javascript.... is javascript affected by your jre? [00:54] * Odd-rationale sigh [00:54] How is the redesign of the web site??? http://www.linux.melkor.cl/ [00:54] Odd-rationale: the hardy package has the correct checksums [00:54] evo7: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #pelo" [00:55] what do i use to build a server for ubuntu? [00:55] I don't have a JRE installed that I am aware of. [00:55] drakode: this is an ubuntu support channel [00:55] ikonia -> Why? FYI, I downloaded themes for gDesklets but it in tar.gz format [00:55] krammer: the ubutnu server cd [00:55] Too soon will be in English and other languages [00:55] ikonia, so i guess i need to know if there is a way to keep evms installed and have udev not freak out [00:55] IndyGunFreak, yes yes. TQ [00:55] harking_: thats the bit thats not fixed at the moment [00:55] ahh, [00:55] evo7: i think pelo was talking to you [00:55] How soon do you think it will take for it to get working again? [00:55] evo7: it looks like a fix has been ported for suse, but not released [00:56] I guess I have java 1.5.0 I didn't know Ubuntu shipped with a runtime evironment [00:56] junkeR: I'm not sure about this.. but you could try installing suns java runtime.. perhaps it will improve things.. [00:56] Odd-rationale: very quickly, I'm surprised its not done yet, however I understand why [00:56] it is a web of support, contains manuals and faq's [00:56] drakode: this is ubuntu operating system support channel only [00:56] I'll give that a try.. it's not the biggest issue, but thanks for your help [00:56] ikonia: OK Thanks! I'll wait for tomorrow... [00:56] Odd-rationale: I'm following the bug myseld [00:56] myself [00:57] Will hardy use Gnash you think? [00:57] junkeR: you're welcome to the little help I had to give.. don't know a lot about java =/ [00:57] Odd-rationale: depends on it's progress, there is an adobe package so I guess it will be the same options as gutsy [00:57] ikonia ok, np [00:57] how do you find out when a package was first installed? [00:57] does anyone know of a web server that will support multicasting?

[00:59] rmaj: your asking the wrong person, I'm helping people who have manners at the moment [00:59] ikonia: DHCP inet; works on debian box; worked on THIS ubuntu but suddenly stoped (after another reboot) [00:59] nautilus-cd-burner is stuck in a 'calculating' state after dropping some folders for burning.

[00:59] you started it [01:00] rmaj, you should have made a backup [01:00] harking_: yes, I understand that, there is an issue as you rightly pointed out between evms and udev controlling device nodes, there has been a fix pulled from opensuse from what I've read but that looks like it's been in testing [01:00] slimjimflim: a backup of what ? [01:00] the hard drive [01:00] hello does anyone know why i cant install anything with 7.10 installed? [01:00] slimjimflim: why ? [01:00] slimjimflim: what would that do ? [01:00] slimjimflim: what? [01:00] super-6-1_desk: can you explain the problem [01:00] it'd undo whatever he just did [01:01] rmaj: I'll be with you in a minute [01:01] slimjimflim: how do you know he did anything, dhcp could have died a tthe server ? [01:01] DHCP server is on router of course, and I did nothing to this box [01:01] ikonia: thanks for the info, i'll subscribe to the bug. [01:01] harking_: understood [01:01] how do i check mount points? [01:01] ikonia: when ever i go to add/remove it always asks to reload and it never stops asking [01:01] rmaj, how are you connected it dhcp is down [01:01] myusrnm: mount [01:02] slimjimflim: he's not, thats the problem [01:02] super-6-1_desk, do: sudo apt-get update in a terminal and pastebin the output [01:02] super-6-1_desk: it keeps asking you to reload ? [01:02] does anyone know howto access windows shares that were created using the gnome desktop [01:02] ikonia: yes [01:02] slimjimflim: dhcp works fine. ubuntu box even gets the IP from DHCP, but it doesnt set up default route [01:02] rmaj, does the router have a public ip? [01:02] lkonia: i think this the bug [01:02] super-6-1_desk: follow MasterShreks's advice [01:02] hi guys [01:02] ikonia: ok [01:03] rmaj: so dhcp doesn't appear to be offering a default route ? [01:03] what's the standard-package-manager for ubuntu? [01:03] apt [01:03] how do you find out when a package was first installed? [01:03] tomboy64: dpkg with apt / synaptic front ends [01:03] MasterShrek: is that gui? [01:03] ikonia: and DHCP works as Im getting IP address, only my ubuntu box doesnt have any routing set up for itself (route command) therefore it is probably softeware problem in ubuntu box [01:03] ahhh, synaptic! [01:03] synaptic is gui tomboy64 [01:03] rmaj: no, your route should be offered via the dhcp server [01:03] adept for kde [01:03] ikonia: it is offering, other boxes are using it [01:03] great, thx :-D [01:04] all these names @_@ [01:04] !paste [01:04] 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) [01:04] rmaj: ok so you get an ip address and the correct subnet mask, yes/no [01:04] ikonia: all other boxes connected to it (debian) Just Work. It looks like if "route" command on this ubuntu stoped working [01:04] yes I do [01:04] rmaj: what ?? don't make random guesses [01:04] rmaj: ok, do you get dns servers ? [01:04] I am trying to get the Live CD of 7.10 working on my Mac Mini. It's plugged into a 17" TFT TV but it's a bit funny with the resolution detection. I've tried setting the xorg.conf to 1024x768 but I can't seem to get anything to work. It justs displays a blue screen on screen 7... Any ideas? [01:04] noob question, i am downloading torrents, but i would like at the same time be on a low power comsumption profile, if i hibernate my ubuntu, will my torrents continue seeding ?

Do I need aptoncd installed in order to do this? [01:05] Tuche_, i very much doubt that.

[01:05] shut down monitor only ? [01:05] rmaj: for your machien, I should say [01:05] JarG0n: random guess: I would try to use k3b [01:05] JarG0n, try gnomebaker instead [01:05] Tuche_: press the power button the on the monitor [01:05] Tuche_, there really is no option.. seeding is accessing the hard drive and so forth.. [01:06] ikonia: correct IP address, 192.168.44.x where x is fro example 132 the same way it works for other boxes [01:06] Thanks Mates.

[01:13] is this channel baby-rated? [01:13] rmaj: was that not in /etc/network/interfaces ? [01:14] .mp3 [01:14] ikonia: no it wasn;t [01:14] rmaj: what was ? [01:14] ikonia: I thought doing by hand "dhclient eth0" was as good as putting "eth0 dhcp..." into ifaces file? in ifaces file there was nothing about eth0, only lo [01:14] rmaj: no no no no no [01:14] O_o [01:14] rmaj: it works different [01:14] then why no warning or something? :[ [01:14] Wifi-Phreak, are you copying the mp3 as files or are you encoding them as music for regular cheap ass cd player ? [01:15] rmaj: ok, so your sorted, it was user error, not "ubuntu is rubbish" after all, nor was "route" broke [01:15] rmaj: it assume people read the docs [01:15] like... dhcp: I cant add route, since eth0 not present in interfaces [01:15] hi [01:15] ikonia: oh yes. BUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA [01:15] ikonia: seriously :) [01:15] Copying as mp3 [01:15] MasterShrek: i really dont care of you beleave i am but hay im stil working on PSPLinux and it wont be out for a bit pubicly [01:15] ikonia: people should, yes, but they dont [01:15] I want the disc to play in an in car cd player [01:16] super-6-1_desk, and you are basing it off ubuntu? [01:16] ikonia: I thought ubuntu aims to stop with the GNU/Nerdy approach "I spend 24/24 with my computer, so you should too - reading manuals" [01:16] rmaj: it does [01:16] Wifi-Phreak, ok first you will need to install mp3 support, if it isnt, done already and then you will use Serpentine from the sound/image menu in applications [01:16] I wonder if anyone can help? My Ubuntu Server has a process running every 20 minutes which places the text "-- MARK --" in my /var/log/messages [01:16] MasterShrek: well one version is and one is on YDL [01:17] reaxion: that is a log check [01:17] ikonia: in my case, a hint from "route" or "dhclient" that it can not assign route because device is not present, would be very helpfull [01:17] ikonia, what process might be checking? [01:17] reaxion: it's normal [01:17] reaxion, check in crontab [01:17] I did [01:17] rml__: you can't account for every possible senario [01:17] nothing every 20 mins [01:17] reaxion: log watch I think [01:17] could it be log rotator? [01:17] * rmaj slaps self for not finding this obvious sollution before [01:18] MasterShrek: fyi dont go down to any other fw if so you well see un normal utilitys on your psp [01:18] Just filling my log up with the MARK text [01:18] is there any multisync user here? may you post a copy of your .multisync/1/localsettings file? :) [01:18] * Pelo slaps rmaj just for the hell of it [01:18] reaxion: I thoink its normal.. why not? [01:18] super-6-1_desk, what do you mean? [01:18] * rmaj slaps Pelo with vista cd [01:18] I'd just prefer my log had meaningful messages, rather than that every 20 mins [01:19] reaxion: then do something to generate traffic [01:19] * Pelo shows rmaj his @ and tells him not to annoy him any further, he was told earlier to review all the basic stuff [01:19] reaxion: if computer dies, you know it was alive at this time; also it compreses to nothing basicly by logrotate [01:19] Pelo: How d I install mp3 support? [01:19] !mp3 | Wifi-Phreak [01:19] Wifi-Phreak: 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 [01:19] MasterShrek: well as i make new CFW i see that the newer updates hold new flashes. and the downgraders dont target these and dont see them so when you do go to a new CFW be sure you upgrade [01:19] Pelo: I seen this lack of eth0 before, but I thought interfaces entry was needed only for automatic configuration [01:19] rmaj: I understand it would, just find it a bit annoying. [01:20] super-6-1_desk: can you take the psp discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [01:20] ikonia: thanks [01:20] rmaj: welcome, next time, try a smidgen more manners a tad less critical and we'll get there faster, I promise [01:20] ikonia: sorry my bad i didnt mean to get off-topic [01:20] super-6-1_desk: no biggy [01:20] Okay folks. Thanks. [01:20] yooohooooo... any multisync user out here? :) [01:20] I wonder can Ubuntu add own patches to add error messages and make them more user friendly? [01:21] wers: just ask in clear english, drop the noise [01:21] ok thats weird i cant login to my photobucket page i AM reg'd and i know i pw anyone else have issues with photobucket not accesible using firefox in linux [01:21] wers, be patient, and ask more specificaly periodicaly, yooohooo won'T get you much [01:21] ooops. sorry [01:21] interesting super-6-1_desk, ill keep it in mind, but i dont really have any reason to downgrade my cfw, so i think ill be aight. btw did u get your sources thing working? [01:21] rmaj: that would mean patching every gnu util for every possible error [01:21] rmaj: better if you just understand the processes more [01:21] original burner ? whats that I use k3b [01:21] ikonia: sounds like fun; and tech message simply makes learning easier [01:21] MasterShrek: im still getting the refreash thing again [01:21] rmaj: too much effort to do and maintin [01:22] maintain [01:22] ikonia: what if I would [01:22] any one know if it is possible to remove all panels in gnome ? [01:22] hmm, getting any errors when you do: sudo apt-get update ? [01:22] then upstream could adapt this even [01:22] MasterShrek: ill look [01:22] rmaj: you're going to maintain every gnu package with hints for every possible error [01:22] MasterShrek: the same things [01:22] not every, but some to start with... and basic tools are rarerlly changed I guess [01:23] rmaj: its not worth the effort, people who want to tinker, should know, others should use the tools (like network manager) provided by ubuntu [01:23] lego: Yes just right click on them, and remove them! [01:23] super-6-1_desk, and you saved that file with the cdrom line commented out? [01:23] any good autoresponders that handle IMAP and follow ups for Ubuntu? [01:23] ikonia: I even straced route to see if it is accessing any config file (it didn't)... [01:24] MasterShrek: there was nothing in there and i put the reps the auto reps gave me [01:24] rmaj: over kill [01:24] Zionad_: but the last one has the "delete this panel" label greyed out [01:24] super-6-1_desk, they didnt give you a cdrom repo did it? [01:24] MasterShrek: no [01:24] MasterShrek: it was like it was a new file [01:25] but sudo apt-get update is still giving you cdrom errors? [01:25] is there any multisync user here? I need to see a /home/user/.multisync/1/localsettings file [01:25] lego: you can always run, killall gnome-panel [01:25] timothywcrane__, did hyou check in synaptic ? do a search for imap or autoresponder or other related keywords [01:25] nvidia fx 5500 does not giving me effects? [01:25] 256mb [01:25] MasterShrek: yes [01:25] Trying to install ubuntu for the first time, i set it up on a software raid and had a seperate /boot swap etc... upon first reboot i get grub error 21 [01:25] jv_: have you enabled desktop effects ? [01:25] Zionad_: true.. should have been able to come up with that myself :) [01:25] Synx_hm: what type of software raid ? [01:25] lego: its ok, we are always here for help! [01:25] that doesnt make any sense super-6-1_desk, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [01:25] MasterShrek: ok [01:25] How come the scripts in if-pre-up.d aren't executed when network interfaces are brought up? [01:26] !paste [01:26] 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) [01:26] telexicon: "pre-up" [01:26] Synx_hm: You may need to put boot off the RAID. Although I dont know for sure. I know /boot can't be on LVM [01:26] ikonia, i think kernal, i use the text installer to select the physical drive raid then configured software raid [01:26] using think so..using experimental geubuntu..after rebooting gives error..how in the comand line can I verify if beryl is enabled? [01:26] yes, but there is nothing in te repository. Prob have to go 3rd party. Autorespond is really limited and the others avail are simple vacation responders [01:26] hmm.. the gnome-panel thingie restarts when killed... damn it is a sticky thing [01:26] Flannel, i configured one drive so that it had 3 partitions one /boot one swap and one for the softraid, so the raid while technically is on both drives, its only on two partitions [01:26] ikonia, ? [01:26] Synx_hm: ok, thats a good start, Synx_hm it looks like grub has not installed to the correct disks. Try manually installing grub to your boot sectors of your primary drives [01:26] lego: one sec, i can fix that [01:26] telexicon: they are executed before the interface is brought up [01:27] hello, is xgl meant to use so much processing power? [01:27] timothywcrane__, you can try an look here www.getdeb.net , no garranties , otherwise it's google [01:27] eyemean: depends on your card/cpu [01:27] ikonia, right [01:27] ikonia, im back in the text install cd and it wont let me... mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot [01:27] ikonia, thats fine.. thats what i meant [01:27] ikonia, they arent executed at all [01:27] ikonia, thats the problem [01:27] thanks, been googling all day [01:27] telexicon: really ? [01:27] telexicon: what type of card [01:27] Synx_hm: what does it say [01:27] ikonia, i got radeon 9550, 1.7 GHz cpu and 1Gig ram [01:27] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47643/ here MasterShrek [01:27] ikonia: lmao... i just want you to know i caught that. [01:27] eyemean: ahhh ati, I've no idea [01:27] ikonia, my network works.. its just I made an iptables-restore script.. but it doesnt restore [01:27] timothywcrane__, doing a search in the forum might also yeild some results, www.ubuntuforums.org [01:28] ok, compiz is installed... [01:28] I got to run at 9MB/s transfer almost on avg [01:28] IndyGunFreak: caught what ;) [01:28] ikonia, invalid argument, is there a full shell under the install cd? [01:28] lol [01:28] BSG75, waht did you do ? [01:28] ikonia: that was pretty subtle though..... but i doubt he got it. [01:28] telexicon: thats not done in the pre-up scripts [01:28] do we have a compiz manager like in beryl? [01:28] Pelo: I had a setting in my BIOS that said .. disable PCI 2.1 latency compliant [01:28] ikonia, where is it done? [01:28] ikonia, yeah tell me about if i knew ati would of been such a problem i would of got Nvidea, hahah [01:28] Zionad_: i solved it, thank you.. (this was the needed command 'gnome-session-remove gnome-panel') [01:28] what does it mean when a monitor is "vista compatible"? i thought monitors were operating system independent like hard drives? [01:28] telexicon: that should be done in an init script [01:29] super-6-1_desk, that first line is supposed to be commented right? also you may have to pastebin the output from sudo apt-get update, this is really puzzling me [01:29] eyemean: there are a few guys in here that know ati well [01:29] lego: Go to Prefrences -> Sessions then click on current session and remove gnome panel, then go to session options and click remeber currently running applications [01:29] I'm not one [01:29] and I moved to slot 3 pci on my motherboard [01:29] lego:" that will save it everytime [01:29] I am not sure which one did it .. but I am not touching it .. just incase :) [01:29] thank you very much [01:29] BSG75, I donT, think I have that one, but I'll check it out later , I think I have full speed and hi speed, kind of ambiguous [01:29] MasterShrek: its the same as the last [01:29] ikonia, how come ubuntu/debian doesnt come with an iptables script by default? It seems like a common thing to have [01:29] calling all ati user knowledge buffs, hahaha [01:29] nothing on get deb or forums, but thank you [01:29] If I were to get an Emerex PC, could i buy a Nvida graphics to run compiz and emerald running. I really want to get my brother a computer [01:29] * IndyGunFreak fixed his ATI card by removing and buying an Nvidia card [01:29] telexicon: its a custom thing to have, there is an init template you can hack to use your own [01:29] * nickrud thinks IndyGunFreak is a cheat [01:29] LOL full speed and high speed .. I like those choices :) [01:29] BSG75, no pci slots for me , they are onboard [01:30] :) [01:30] super-6-1_desk, it cant be, theres no reference to your cdrom in that file, theres no reason it shold be erroring on it [01:30] I hope one of those options in the bios will do it for u [01:30] MasterShrek: i think its a bug [01:30] i have a radeon 9550, but seems xgl is in high usage, can any1 help pls? [01:30] what's the success rate doing a distribution upgrade from feisty to gutsy? [01:30] IndyGunFreak: isnt ATI linux friendly now [01:30] I am getting 9-7 MB/s constant now [01:30] nickrud: dual screens was just to freakin hard w/ ATI... [01:30] Hi, can someone take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/d78bb2d06 [01:30] rmaj: maybe now, i don't know, this was like a year or more agbo. [01:30] much easier when u need to move 1TB data :) [01:30] ago. [01:30] eyemean: shouldn't you use frxgl [01:30] ATI is a hellhole with linux.. heh [01:30] Thats why i went Nvidia [01:30] rmaj: it won't be for a long time [01:30] IndyGunFreak, heh, thanks for the warning. I'll put off buying that third one [01:31] anyone? [01:31] BSG75, I'll hav eto look a bit more into it , I think I tried to change it while back and it didn't do much difference so I put it back the way it was, don'T remember what it is at now [01:31] Zionad_: I'm struggling as it is with this VIA onboard stuff [01:31] nickrud: lol, so you got dual screens working w/ ATI?.. i tried for a couple months and gave up. [01:31] Qjimbo: Oh man i couldnt imagine, via isnt nice either hahah [01:31] ikonia, i am as far as i know, but i think its listed as xgl in system monitor [01:31] How do I setup TeXMacs for Maxima? [01:31] nickrud: that was back in Dapper though, so almost 2yrs ago..., and ATI's driver i believe has came a long way since then [01:31] IndyGunFreak, no, that was sarcastic wishful thinking. Right now I'm recompiling my kernel, see if I can get suspend with fglrx. [01:31] ikonia, sorry i meant as far as i know thats wat im using [01:31] lol [01:31] I have nv34 geforce fx 5500 256mb and need to troubleshoot compiz from the terminal...anobody? [01:31] lbakalinsky, depends if there is a agp or pci slot available on the mobo [01:31] tia [01:32] eyemean: I understand [01:32] Pelo: good luck ..

[01:40] * nickrud shuts up, he came in late (again) [01:40] IndyGunFreak: nope [01:40] nyce_: wine support in in #winehq [01:40] nyce_: whats it asking?

[01:42] i understand [01:42] nickrud: how do I boot Vista if I only hibernate Ubuntu? Don't I have to shut down/restart to get to the GRUB menu to boot Vista? [01:42] sorry [01:42] nyce_: whats the others [01:42] Junkie`: and changing the boot ini tab didn't work? [01:43] hudyx: yes you do :) [01:43] hudyx, if you hibernate, it does shut down. You can then reboot into windows, or linux later [01:43] all right thanks everyone for the help [01:43] what are the commands that would be the same as going to System - Preferences - Appearance - Disable Compiz or Enable Compiz? [01:43] sainzeo: use the gui [01:43] hudyx, hibernate is not suspend [01:43] Junkie`: look at #16 http://www.ethicalhack.org/howto/triple_boot_howto.html [01:43] But hibernate saves the current condition, it doesnt run post, or allow you to see the grub bootloaser [01:44] ikonia: i would like to create a script to enable/disable compiz more quickly - do you know these commands? [01:44] it goes directly to the saved condition [01:44] sainzeo: use the gui, it is not practicle to script [01:44] ikonia: sorry, but I would like to script this, are you saying then you don' tknow? [01:44] ikonia, plz tell me again what i need to do to ckeck compiz [01:44] sainzeo: I'm saying it is possible but not practicle [01:45] Zionad_: so there is no way to do what I want to do? save the Ubuntu state while I go into Vista? [01:45] beryl had a beryl manager command that would bring up the interface to control beryl [01:45] ikonia: okay fine, it's not practical, what are these commands anyways? [01:45] Hudyx, I do not think that is possible. [01:45] sainzeo: its not "commands" you'll have to detect states and things like that [01:45] sainzeo: its just just 2 commands === u^A is now known as u^A_ [01:45] can someone tell me why i cant compile MPlayer with my ubuntu distro? probably has something to do with libc? when i ./configure i get "Error: Cannot find header either inttypes.h or bitypes.h. There is no chance for compilation to succeed." [01:45] ikonia: isn't there like metacity --replace and compiz --replace? [01:45] hmm... On one of my harddrives it says root is owner,... so I can't create any folders or do naything on it... how do I add a user to the restrictions? [01:46] sainzeo: that is just part of it [01:46] piedoggie: are you still there? [01:46] zlk: why are you compiling mplayer [01:46] because synaptic wont install it [01:46] zlk: the error message is quite clear that it can't find the headers [01:46] ikonia: okay, what else would i need to do in order to successfully script it? [01:46] sainzeo: I've just said, its not straight forward [01:46] zlk: just sudo apt-get install mplayer [01:46] sainzeo: its not practicle [01:46] piedoggie: I installed 7.1 with eqmu, and still got the same issue: ubuntu stops at /etc/rc.local [01:46] sunogbaga: E: Broken packages [01:46] ikonia: you may not think its practical, and maybe it isn't, but i would like this knowledge, therefore, do you actually know the commands to run or not? [01:47] it says it relies on liartsc0, libfaac0, liblame0, etc. [01:47] and says "but is not installable" [01:47] sainzeo: why are you not listening, its just just "commands" [01:47] anyone knows why a fresh install will stop booting after /etc/rc.local [OK] ?? [01:47] next to those packages [01:47] zlk: you'll need to enable additional repo's [01:47] how do i go about doing that? [01:47] ikonia: i am listening, but there must be a way to script figuring out states and what not, like you had previously said [01:47] sainzeo: www.compiz-fusion.org has all the docs [01:47] sainzeo: had a read through them [01:48] ikonia: ok thank you [01:48] zlk: system --> preferences --> software sources [01:48] zlk: its actually system --> administration --> software sources [01:48] im using ubuntu 7.04 feisty. i dont seem to have that option in preferences [01:48] sainzeo: thank you [01:48] zlk: did you see that [01:48] ah ta [01:48] ikonia: you're welcome [01:49] what about gutsy? also uses compiz-fusion? [01:49] jv_: gutsy comes with compiz-fusion already installed [01:49] I can't figure why compiz won't start.... [01:49] maybe I can get a lower version of ubuntu, where can I get 7.04? [01:49] Zionad_, just did a hibernate, boot into windows, and then back into my hibernated desktop. Worked as expected [01:49] buddhaboy: is there a reason you want 7.04 over 7.10 ? [01:49] where to find pidgin for 6.06? [01:50] sec_: it doesn't exist [01:50] sec_: 6.06 uses gaim [01:50] ikonia: yes, i install a fresh boot, and the screen gets stuck on: /etc/rc.local [ok] wont' go further, unless i hit enter [01:50] what is the module name for compiz? compiz-fusion? [01:50] sec_ i'm sure you could build from sources but it isn't in repos [01:50] ikonia: yes, i had gaim on 6.06; want to try pidgin [01:50] buddhaboy: press enter and check your rc.local file [01:50] sec_: you may be able to compile it yourself successfully though by downloading the source from www.pidgin.im [01:50] jv_: just system-preferences-desktop-effects [01:50] sec_: pidgin is not available [01:51] <_ope_> i need help with vmware. i only get a display if im running the vm in debug mode [01:51] ikonia: I've been on the forum, I don't have any isues with my rc.local file [01:51] sainzeo: I don't think it will run due to tls dependencies on 6.0.6 [01:51] nickrud: i have never seen a hibernate do that.. ever.... [01:51] buddhaboy: what is in it ? [01:51] hello everyone [01:51] I mean, Its not supposed to [01:51] why ubuntu dislike pidgin? [01:51] its supposrd to save your session [01:51] sec_: they don't [01:51] what do you guys recommend reiserfs or reiser4? [01:51] and boot into it!, thats why it uses hd space [01:51] sec_: 6.0.6 was release long before pidgin existed [01:51] quick question, how do i mount a .img file on my desktop? [01:52] Aztec007: resiser FS is a debatable topic for long term support [01:52] sec_: i would try compiling it from source first - it may not work, but probably won't hurt to try [01:52] Does anyone know if there's a way to set up VNC to allow me to 'share' my current desktop on a custom port, and like tightvnc for windows, have one password be full-control, and one be view-only? [01:52] Aztec007: resierfs because of that issue [01:52] <_ope_> can anyone help? [01:52] ikonia: LTS means: not add new software? [01:52] ikonia: it only has "exit 0" [01:52] Zionad_, it does write to hd, thats the point. The image is there to go back to at any time. [01:52] sec_: not official, but yes [01:52] <_ope_> i also get this error when i try to full screen in vmware [01:52] <_ope_> Unable to find an appropriate host video mode. [01:52] <_ope_> Adding the guest mode to the 'display' subsection of the 'screen' section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config and restarting X is likely to help. [01:52] <_ope_> Failed to switch to full screen SVGA mode. [01:52] ikonia: its a fresh install [01:52] buddhaboy: ok, so look at the last scripts that excute before that [01:52] has anyone installed original enemy territory on ubuntu? [01:52] buddhaboy: [01:52] how do i mount a .img file?? [01:52] ikonia: yeah, thats what I heard I just figured that it may be working now [01:52] sunogbaga: that's the thing..i have gnome with elive..I go to appearnce and then I turned desktop effects [01:52] nickrud: i see.... thanks for informing me of that! =] [01:52] deniz_, gmountiso [01:52] told me to reboot which I did [01:53] Zionad_, the only thing that might be different is I do use a bios password, but don't think that should matter [01:53] marupa, its not an iso [01:53] i don't want to install gcc, *-dev on my only machine desktop [01:53] deniz_, convert it? [01:53] now it says "desktops effects cannot be enabled" [01:53] ikonia: ok fine. and I do a noshow, and remove quiet from boot to see message start ups, right? [01:53] anyone find that firefox can sometimes be a hog on ubuntu 7.10? [01:53] Aztec007: nope, not while the owner is being prosicuted for murder [01:53] I'm having some compiz problems again [01:53] how or with wat? [01:53] ikonia: where would I see in the logs? what log file? [01:53] Zionad_, eh, I can be obtuse and assuming about knowledge, don't mind me [01:53] buddhaboy: thats an excellent idea [01:53] yeah [01:53] marupa, how or with wat? [01:53] I have glx [01:53] buddhaboy: remove the splash image from the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:53] ikonia, hrm i did something lol, now no grub at all, my mobo is trying to boot over the network now doh! [01:53] How do I set Maxima package for TeXMacs? [01:53] nickrud: hahah its fine [01:53] ikonia: I already did the nosplash, and remove the quiet [01:53] so, anyone has that deb for pidgin? [01:53] deniz_, That I cannot remember, unfortunately. I recall that I found the howto on google though. [01:53] 267.888 [01:53] ikonia: everything was "ok" before that [01:53] ikonia: who's the owner? [01:53] any specific app? [01:54] marupa, any specific app? [01:54] sec_: I've told you "it doesn't exist" [01:54] ikonia: its like everything just stops: so maybe there is a log file? [01:54] buddhaboy: no boot log [01:54] deniz_, Nope. Just look for 'img to iso convert ubuntu' or somesuch. [01:54] ikonia: hmmm :$ [01:54] k, ill do so later [01:54] How to setup a start up? I mean some program will run automatically once I log in. [01:54] thx [01:54] jv_: probably haven't installed restricted drivers [01:54] evo7, system->prefs->session [01:54] ikonia: i see, it's not in official. [01:54] compiz won't allow me to select extra or anything else it gives me the error: The composite extension is not available [01:54] ikonia: nope nothing is in it [01:54] nickrud: Thank you. [01:55] sec_: did you get my PM? [01:55] ikonia: /var/log/boot [01:55] sunogbaga: yes, they are enabled [01:55] buddhaboy: you won't get anything out of that [01:55] <]RandoM[> what do you people use to write data dvds? [01:55] sainzeo: let me check [01:55] nvidia and atheros [01:55] Zionad_, I forgot I was running a kernel compile, if it's bad I'm blaming you ;) [01:55] for wifi [01:55] ikonia: see there's this same error in the forums, they complain about going to the /etc/even.d and looking in there.. but everything is fine [01:55] nickrud: hahah, I will take any and all responsibility! hahaha === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:56] buddhaboy: have you installed ANYTHING scince the default install [01:56] ikonia: and this is a fresh install: both on vmware, and on qemu [01:56] ikonia: nope, nothing [01:56] oooh virtualisation [01:56] ]RandoM[, I'be been using gnomebaker, I've also used k3b [01:56] buddhaboy: hardware detection on some virtualisation can cause a hang [01:56] hey guys, I'm having trouble connecting to security.ubuntu.com [01:56] any ideas why this might be? [01:56] sainzeo: got my reply pm? [01:56] ikonia: yep. i thought so, so i said ok, maybe vmware has an issue, but then i tried qemu [01:56] ikonia: same thing.. [01:56] my computer just locked up and crashed so I had to restart, how can I check system logs to see what caused it? [01:56] buddhaboy: still virtualisation [01:57] talcite, could be proxy, dns, or relay issue. [01:57] <]RandoM[> nickrud: thanks i'll try that.. the dvd writer built into nautilus hasn't been working well for me. [01:57] !pm | sec_ [01:57] Anyone knows how to configure a package for TeXMacs? [01:57] sec_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [01:57] ikonia: i'll try tomorrow with another machine I guess [01:57] buddhaboy: you'll have to play with your vm settings [01:57] IndyGunFreak: i did as it said, but holding down c did nothing and it just went to the windows boot loader [01:57] marupa: well the other system on the same network has no problem connecting to it though 0.lo [01:57] Junkie`: i really don't know... sorry. [01:57] talcite, then probably dns or proxy. [01:57] ]RandoM[, the only thing I don't like about it is not telling me how much space I've reserved [01:57] ikonia: yea that will take forever, i'm just gonna do it on a real system I guess [01:57] damn...can't undertsand this stuff... [01:57] what is the best flash plugin for firefox? [01:57] buddhaboy: ok [01:57] marupa: any idea how I'd be able to check which one it is? [01:57] jv_: now I don't have ideas., others might be able to help [01:57] ikonia: thank for the time though! [01:57] talcite from the one that works, ping it, and try connecting to the IP. [01:57] evo7: there is only one, the adobe one, but the package is currently broke [01:58] marupa: does ubuntu server use dhcpcd? [01:58] talcite: its up to you if it does [01:58] that's fine..tx [01:58] talcite, most probably. [01:58] talcite: depends how you set it up [01:58] glen, System -> Administration -> System logs [01:58] ikonia: I see... hmm I can't remember what I selected for options =P [01:58] talcite: then look [01:58] marupa: let me give it a shot, brb [01:58] ikonia: so how to download? how about gnash? I tried but it not performs the best. :( [01:58] lulu: hmm on xubuntu guess I'll try gnome-system-log instead [01:59] evo7: gnash is still in early development [01:59] i installed ubuntu on one 10gb partition. now i created a second partition which has to contain my /home directory. how can i setup that without reinstalling ubuntu? [01:59] IndyGunFreak: I added it and when i select it i get an error saying it didn't have access to the harddisk [01:59] marupa: hmm it might be DNS... there's no response to pings [01:59] Alp-: copy the data from /home to the partition then mount your new partition on /home [01:59] ikonia: so now I cant download any flash plugin for firefox? [01:59] glen, you can always check logs looking at files in /var/log [01:59] To the boot.ini, that is [01:59] Junkie`: i don't have the first idea.. sorry [01:59] evo7: not at this exact second [01:59] no worries [01:59] thanks anyway [02:00] ikonia, ive tried a number of things doing the manual grub install, using /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda1 and none work, i have no mbr i think because it keeps going directly to network booting [02:00] !font [02:00] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [02:00] Synx_hm: enter the grub shell and do it from that method [02:00] ikonia: dhcpcd isn't installed... =/ what else would I be using? [02:00] ikonia: ok thank you. [02:00] ikonia, ill do that one more time because i think the dvd drive might be hd0 [02:00] dhclient? [02:00] talcite: thats a server, you'd be using dhclient [02:00] ikonia: it's that easy? just adding a line to fstab? [02:00] Alp-, add a line like /dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 0 1 to your /etc/fstab [02:00] Alp-: it certainly is [02:01] nickrud: gutsy uses uuid [02:01] nickrud, ikonia: thanks alot [02:01] ikonia: ahh crap I remember what I did now... I'm using a static IP... [02:01] ikonia, yes, but recognizes the other as well. I'm not affected by libata, keep forgetting that [02:01] nickrud: it has to be /dev/sdX has hdX is retired [02:02] i download the flash plugin in website but it came with tar.gz format. how to install it? [02:02] ikonia: is there a way to configure resolv.conf without manually copying over the data then? [02:02] evo7: don't [02:02] evo7: wait for the ubuntu package to be fixed [02:02] talcite: edit the file [02:02] how do i roll back my nvidia driver? [02:02] ikonia, works here, but I'm gonna stop mentioning it === reconnect is now known as recon [02:02] domas: roll back to what [02:02] nickrud: really ? [02:02] a previous version [02:02] ikonia: but how can i delete my old home folder after mounting the new one? [02:02] nickrud: do you have /dev/hdX on your gutsy install [02:02] ikonia: Ok. Thank you. :) [02:02] ikonia: yeah, I mean is there a way to automatically update resolv.conf? [02:02] evo7: are you trying to install flashplayer for firefox? [02:02] Alp-: copy the data over then delete it [02:02] talcite: no, thats dhcp [02:02] ikonia: =/ [02:03] ikonia, yes (or at least as swap, I have that set on my i386 install) [02:03] Can anyone recommend a way to get wicd for wireless connection to work in Gusty? [02:03] when restarting ubuntu, do u have to restart the pc, or can u just ctrl alt del then login again? [02:03] nickrud: on gutsy [02:03] ikonia, yes [02:03] eyemean: that restarts the xserver [02:03] nickrud: I need to investigate that as you shouldn't get it [02:03] ikonia, now you make me wonder if my swap was working on that one :) [02:03] nickrud: thats a good question [02:04] ikonia, sorry im new to linux [02:04] !xserver [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:04] eyemean: thats fine, no need to apologise [02:04] I have a printer attached to ubuntu and can print a test page just fine. On my samba network the windows computer sees the ubuntu box, but not the printer attached to it. In Administration- Printing I DO have it set to share and to not restrict any users. Is there something else I need to do? [02:04] eyemean: the xserver is your "gui" [02:05] ikonia, oh right, so basically if pc ubuntu getting slow, have to do full reboot? [02:05] eyemean: it shouldn't get slow [02:05] ever [02:05] sunogbaga: yes. I want to install flash plugin for firefox. :) [02:06] evo7 is pretty easy [02:06] how can i get the uuid of my partition? [02:06] ikonia, it does someties, like now for instance the cpu is working flat out, it didnt used to be like this [02:06] Alp-: blkid [02:06] eyemean: are you running froma livecd or a hard disk insall [02:06] install [02:06] ikonia, hd [02:06] eyemean, what process is taking up that much cpu usage? [02:06] evo7: just sudo-apt get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:06] eyemean: use top to see what is eating your cpu [02:06] sunogbaga: the flash package is currently broke [02:07] eyemean, if you open up a console and type ' top ' into it [02:07] Can anyone point me to a howto to get tightvnc to work (or some method to share a current desktop session, not create a new one) [02:07] eyemean: do not do that command yet [02:07] Sigh, I figured that question might be above the help level here :( [02:07] ikonia, nada, ive got the drives setup as follows... /dev/sda1 (boot) /dev/sda2 (swap) /dev/sda3 (software raid) /dev/sdb1 (software raid) /dev/md0 (raid 0 with sda3 and sdb1) [02:07] eyemean, it will show you what processes are using so much cpu time [02:07] kkathman: as your question [02:07] Synx_hm: raid 0 ! [02:07] ? [02:07] Synx_hm: I thought you said raid 1 [02:07] kkathman: I didn't see your question [02:07] ikonia, forefox at the moment, it hits 70 at times [02:07] sunogbaga: ok I try [02:07] k [02:07] evo7: don't [02:08] evo7: the package is currently broke [02:08] eyemean, what cpu do you have? [02:08] ow [02:08] ikonia: that doesnt show me the new partition [02:08] ikonia, i dont think so but i might have [02:08] Synx_hm: I may have miss-read [02:08] ikonia, athlon xp200+ - 1.7Ghz [02:08] Synx_hm: is /boot on a raid partition [02:08] eyemean, that would probably be why [02:08] eyemean, i mean that cpu is getting older [02:08] can someone recommend some software like jinzora, but will play the music via the web browser ? [02:08] kinda like pandora [02:08] eyemean, they don't have alot cache on them either [02:08] ikonia, its own partition [02:09] Alp-: man uuidgen [02:09] teknoprep, but i didnt have this problem last week [02:09] ikonia: what happens when u do? [02:09] Synx_hm: ok, this is going to get complex, [02:09] eyemean, what did you change? [02:09] hi all [02:09] Synx_hm: basiclly you'll need to update you initrd to include support for raid0 [02:09] teknoprep, nothing, lol [02:09] sunogbaga: it installs the meta package, but not the actual plug [02:09] plugin [02:09] ikonia, i used the text based install to do the software raid setup [02:09] anyone know how to set up an asus eas1600 silent video card with ubuntu? [02:09] eyemean, thats impossible.. things don't change unless you tell them too [02:09] eyemean, unless you have a hardware problem [02:10] i can't get any driver to make it work [02:10] macandcheese, modules not drivers [02:10] eso te pasa por estar enamorante a distancia en internet , no aprendes , [02:10] teknoprep, it look slike firefox is the problem, its use alot of cpu at times [02:10] eyemean, try purging it then reinstalling it... see if it does the same thing [02:10] eyemean, you can try this ' apt-get purge firefox ' [02:11] why ? [02:11] why re-install something for no reason ? [02:11] why what [02:11] teknoprep, im new to linux, but im sure i havent changed any settings [02:11] ikonia, well if he thinks its the problem why not [02:11] because it's pointless [02:11] ikonia, I just did a test here, and /dev/hda8 /media/i386-home ext3 defaults 0 2 works as expected [02:11] teknoprep, is it best to save my favourites first? [02:11] ikonia, the key problem is anyways that grub is not installing on the mbr at all... [02:11] nickrud: I'll look into that, thank you [02:11] eyemean, have you installed and extensions that may be causing firefox to do that? [02:11] eyemean, you should use google browser sync [02:11] Synx_hm: thats easy to fix, the root file system problem is not [02:12] eyemean, but yes you would have to fix it [02:12] mastershrek, i do have extensions installed on firefox, but havent installed any for ages [02:12] ikonia, ive got two 400gb sata drives, one had 3 partitons on it, one boot one swap and one for the raid, the other drive is one partition all for the raid, i used the text alternate install cd to set it up and it seemed to work just fine, i assume it would have setup with kernel software raid (not fakeraid) support [02:13] eyemean: you probably just have too much running, too many tabs, busy website with flash etc [02:13] eyemean, what exactly is the problem tho? [02:13] teknoprep, what is google browser sync for? [02:13] Synx_hm: yes, thats right [02:13] eyemean, it syncs your browser to your gmail account.. that way you never loose your bookmarks / whatever else firefox saves [02:13] Synx_hm: did you not understand what I said about having raid 0 as your root file system [02:13] ikonia, any ideas why grub wont install then, ive tried both manual and automatic modes [02:13] teknoprep, high cpu usage of firefox, i cant watch tv properly on pc now without it screen slowing down from tv [02:14] Synx_hm: your not using the correct grub options, or your motherboard is not booting off the right disk [02:14] eyemean, things don't just happen tho man.. you had to have done something [02:14] teknoprep, that sounds cool , neverknew about that [02:14] how do i change folder permission to all [02:14] ikonia, ya i do, but my understanding of software raid and not fakeraid (bios software raid) was that kernel support was automatic [02:14] Synx_hm: kernel support IS, initrd is NOT [02:15] teknoprep, well i havent been brave enough to do anything new or weird incase i messed up ubuntu [02:15] ikonia, ahh so the install cd will not set that up for you if you select software raid as the partition for / [02:15] Synx_hm: I don't believe so [02:15] ikonia, sorry this is all a bit new to me [02:15] goldfire [02:15] poop === f0o is now known as F0o [02:15] Synx_hm: thats fine, raid 1 = yes, raid 0 I don't know, nor do I think so [02:15] eyemean, i purposely skrew things up so i learn how to fix it [02:15] eyemean, took me awhile but i figured out why my laptop's hibernate doesn't work after i do an update with ubuntu [02:16] eyemean, and it was worth it to do this too [02:16] what's the shortcut key for the terminal console? [02:16] ok I figured it out [02:16] eyemean, simple things you skrew up... will help you in the future.. now i have a better grasp on how acpi is implemented into linux [02:16] cizarr, ctrl+alt+f1-f6 ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to your gui [02:16] teknoprep, i havent been on ubuntu for long so i wont risk it, plus i dont have time to do that at the moment [02:17] eyemean, you still have a large learning curve.. sure you can enjoy ubunut.. but you should still learn it [02:17] eyemean, linux has stupid amount of options [02:17] thanks MasterShrek [02:17] teknoprep, ur right though, its the only way to learn, but when i have more time, i got too much diy to do these days at home, hahaha [02:18] ikonia, well the bios is not finding any mbr at all so i at least need to fix grub first and then see what happenes from there [02:18] ikonia, i did root (hd0,0) which should be /dev/sda1 and setup (hd0) [02:18] Synx_hm: you know what happens, it was failing last time [02:18] Synx_hm: it couldn't find the root file system [02:18] What application could I install that'll change html to text? [02:18] ikonia, it didn't give me a boot menu at all, just error 21 [02:18] david_J, notepad ? [02:18] ok... [02:19] <]RandoM[> nickrud: gnomebaker worked like a charm for me. [02:19] Synx_hm: that was before, you said it couldn't find root file system first time [02:19] ikonia, i figured it was an actual mbr error [02:19] Synx_hm, maybe try sd0,0 [02:19] david_J: html *is* text [02:19] david_J: any text editor would do that [02:19] MasterShrek: please don't talk nonsense [02:19] ]RandoM[, good to hear [02:19] danc3: no it aint...I mean without the html tags [02:19] ikonia, never got that far [02:19] MasterShrek, wilco [02:19] ikonia, sorry, i didnt think of it as nonsense, im not using grub but i thought i remembered doing that once... [02:19] david_J: you could use awk/sed [02:19] I know there are tools out there that can do it [02:19] teknoprep, where in gmail do i go to sync bookmarks pls? [02:19] MasterShrek: you've never dont that, that option doesn't exist [02:19] forget it bye [02:20] Synx_hm: that option doesn't exist [02:20] i didn't think so hehe [02:20] ok ikonia, my mistake [02:20] eyemean, just goto www.google.com and search for google browser sync [02:20] MasterShrek: no problem [02:20] ikonia, find /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't work btw [02:20] ikonia, but i am able to see /boot and all thats on the /dev/sda1 partition [02:20] Synx_hm: hang on, so your /boot partition is sd1 ? yes/no [02:20] ikonia, yes [02:20] man this is ridiculous [02:21] talcite, what is? [02:21] Synx_hm: ok, so your root option is (hd0,0) and your setup option is (hd0) is that what you are using ? [02:21] teknoprep: I got the DNS servers working and the NTP servers kicked in [02:21] ikonia, yup [02:21] teknoprep: I'm now locked out of sudo [02:21] I'm trying to report a bug. when they ask you to add the output of uname -a, sudo lspci -wnn and sudo dmidecode, how do i get those in the form of a file instead of just in the terminal [02:21] Synx_hm: and in your /boot/grub/device.map that is the correct mapping hd0 is sda ? [02:21] teknoprep: the time stamps are too far in the future, I can't kill sudo, I can't validate it either [02:21] ikonia, let me check [02:21] Synx_hm: s/sda/hda [02:21] talcite, you have to update all of your files [02:21] when i type sudo dmidecode, for example, the output appears to be too large for the terminal and i don't even get all of it, just the end [02:21] ezzieyguywuf: COMMAND > /path/to/file [02:22] teknoprep: I tried logging out but it didn't work. I can't shutdown or reboot because I need to be root [02:22] talcite, i forget what it is brb [02:22] teknoprep: what do you mean? [02:22] jrib: thank you [02:22] teknoprep: sure [02:22] ezzieyguywuf: that will overwrite anything in /path/to/file if it already exists by the way [02:22] xlcfg -g or xlcfg -gtk [02:22] upon opening azures, it closes [02:23] myusrnm: I have the same problem actually! [02:23] ikonia, ohh ... (hd0) is /dev/hdb (my dvd drive) doh and hd1 is the /dev/sda ill try that [02:23] jrib: do i specify a file type, ie .txt? [02:23] Synx_hm: there you go [02:23] so you want hd1,0 [02:23] hey howcome bittorent, ktorrent, and bittornado all do a horrible job of dowloading my torrents, like uber s low, and i used to be able to dl them real fast on windows... is it something with my ports/ [02:23] and hd1 as a setup [02:23] ikonia, however grub seems to be confused, because when i do root (hd0, it lists all the partitions on sda1 [02:23] after pruging firefox should i restart then install again? [02:23] Nighthawk420: might be [02:24] i need help with my azureus problem, upon opening azureus it closes. Has anybody heard of this problem and know what the cause / solution might be [02:24] Synx_hm: because sda1 is correct [02:24] ? [02:24] Nighthawk420: under nat maybe... [02:24] Synx_hm: but grub wants hd1,0 and hd1 [02:24] should it be under nat or not on nat? [02:24] ikonia, ya but im saying grub thinks sda1 is hd0 when it is infact hd1, no? [02:24] Nighthawk420: if youre under nat, should probably try port forwarding [02:24] Synx_hm: because the device map is overriding [02:25] I want to add gDesklet in start up but I do not know the application name to put. How to check it? [02:25] sunogbaga, cant i just as easily disable nat settings [02:25] ikonia, so what do i need to edit? [02:25] I tried gDesklets but it didnt work. [02:25] Synx_hm: I've told you, re-install grub to root hd1,0 and setup hd1 [02:25] evo7: system preferences sessions [02:25] ikonia, because it wont install to hd1... setup (hd1) Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [02:26] Nvm, apparently deleting .azureus seemed to work [02:26] Synx_hm: exactly what commands are you using ? [02:26] sunogbaga: yes I know it. But we need to put the name of application inside. I do not know the name of it [02:26] ikonia, root (hd1,0)... setup (hd1) [02:26] put any name, just put the right command [02:26] Synx_hm: in the grub shell ? [02:26] ikonia, yes [02:27] sunogbaga: I do not the the command for gDesklets. I tried put gDesklet but dint work. [02:27] wow I discovered a bug in ubuntu... first time ever =D [02:27] Synx_hm: something is very wrong here [02:27] ikonia, also tried 'sudo /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda1 [02:27] ikonia, i agree hehe [02:28] haven't install gdesklet yet, try gdesklets .. no caps [02:28] Synx_hm: I can only think your raid config has messed up your drive layouts [02:28] evo7: try it on the terminal first [02:28] sunogbaga: ok. I try. [02:29] ikonia, heres what fdisk -l has to say... /dev/sda1 bootable (/boot) /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb1 Linux raid autodetect [02:29] sunogbaga: yes. it's working. [02:29] sunogbaga: Thank you man. [02:29] i guess the timestamp is to far into the future [02:29] does the live cd have the RT8187 drivers on it? [02:29] Synx_hm: I'm afraid its bed time for me [02:29] Synx_hm: but that all looks normal [02:30] ahh thank goodness for tty... [02:30] I'd be boned without it [02:30] ikonia, cool thanks for your help though :) ill figure this ish out hehe [02:30] atleast for an hour anyways [02:30] evo7: no problem [02:30] Synx_hm: you may want to correct your device.map to make things easier [02:30] ikonia, will do thanks [02:30] Synx_hm: ahhhh [02:30] Synx_hm: its just hit me [02:30] Synx_hm: got it [02:30] sorry, I was being slow [02:30] huh? [02:30] Synx_hm: your doing this from the livecd yes/no [02:31] yes [02:31] !device.map [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about device.map - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:31] Synx_hm: ok, stop me if I confuse you [02:31] hey talcite [02:31] talcite, you still there [02:31] Synx_hm: the livecd has "probed" your disk, so /dev/sda IS hd0 on the livecd, which is why you can't install to hd1 [02:31] talcite, do this... ' sudo -k ; sudo -K ' [02:31] ikonia: what is device.map? [02:31] Synx_hm: follow so far [02:31] daks: I'll get back to you [02:31] ikonia, ikonia ya [02:32] can anybody help me wit an ipod issue..or am in the wrong place [02:32] teknoprep: yup, I'm here [02:32] Synx_hm: however when you boot from your hard disk the device.map is probed to get the disk layout which says sda = hd1 not hd0, so menu.lst can't be found so grub won't init [02:32] teknoprep: believe it or not, it was a bug in ubuntu 0.o [02:32] Synx_hm: make sense ? [02:32] talcite, did you fix it? [02:32] ikonia, ya [02:32] teknoprep: I had to log into tty2 and delete the sudo file for tty1 [02:32] <_patbam> hi, is it normal for apt-get to ask me to put in my gutsy cd when i try to install things? [02:32] teknoprep: yup =D [02:32] ikonia, i figured something like that was happening [02:32] Synx_hm: fix your device.map on your disk, and re-install grub onto hd0 on the livecd and you'll be fine [02:32] teknoprep: thanks =D [02:33] Synx_hm: sorry, took me a moment for that to click [02:33] hey guys, how do you perform a dist-upgrade on ubuntu server? [02:33] ikonia, ok ill do that, thanks! [02:33] _patbam: remove the cd source line from /etc/sources.list [02:33] I'm still running feisty [02:33] _patbam: /etc/apt/sources.list [02:33] Synx_hm: sorry, I was missing the ovious [02:33] obvious [02:33] daks: device.map is a grub file used to map physical disks to grub device identifiers [02:33] <_patbam> ikonia: thanks. [02:34] how do you enable repos via konsole [02:34] I really need this to work, guys...I'm trying to share my ubuntu desktop with other users, but use a custom port. Is there any way to do that? [02:34] lovedeatm: uncomment them in /etc/apt/sources.list === _patbam is now known as patbam [02:34] lovedeatm, konsole is kde [02:34] ikonia, one quick question seems i cannot force write to tha file (w!) [02:34] hi, can anyone recommend me software to author dvd videos? [02:34] lovedeatm, are you using kubuntu ? [02:34] sexcopter, kino [02:34] Synx_hm: mount -o remount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot [02:34] thanks [02:34] Synx_hm: remount read/write [02:34] ikonia: don't ih ave to do an apt-get update or some such after editing that file? [02:34] lovedeatm, but you want to doit from the console... sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [02:34] patbam: you do [02:35] marupa: thanks [02:35] Synx_hm: bed time now [02:35] sexcopter, welcome. [02:35] ikonia, thanks again [02:35] Synx_hm: hope everything works out [02:35] thanks and yeah i am using kubuntu [02:36] ikonia: thanks again :) [02:36] but it was a general question and thanks [02:36] kde sucks [02:37] teknoprep: long live kde beats gnome :) [02:37] are there any fixes to the crash with latest nvidia drivers and video playback (ex sometimes when i open movies they are just green blobs and don't render until i restart computer) [02:37] how do you make a tarball of a directory in the terminal window? [02:37] where can i find the list ( and code ) of the ubuntu patches for the kernel? [02:37] julio3patas, you crazy? kde is horible [02:37] ezzieyguywuf, tar -cf somefile.tar thedirectory/ [02:37] ezzieyguywuf, tar cf .tar /dir [02:37] kde vs gnome fistfight behind the cafeteria! [02:37] thanks guys [02:38] teknoprep: must be the rum&cokes i had tonight [02:38] julio3patas, vodka cranberry here [02:38] julio3patas, but you are still nuts [02:38] julio3patas, kde is more bloated then windows [02:38] the gnomes will break the trolls knees [02:38] teknoprep: my ex'es will agree with you [02:38] GNOME Rules! [02:38] julio3patas: sissy gotta go with the straight up irish whiskey :) [02:39] SirBob1701, nothing wrong with mixed drinks [02:39] teknoprep: sure if your a chick haha [02:39] cairo_dock + gnome = beautiful [02:39] SirBob1701: had a chance to go thru ireland and picked up some private reserve jameson, boy that is good stuff [02:39] SirBob1701, now you attack my manhood because i like a mixed drink? [02:40] julio3patas: aw i can only imagine [02:40] teknoprep: sure why not :) [02:40] where can i find the list ( and code ) of the ubuntu patches for the kernel? [02:40] SirBob1701, i must be ghey... i am going to go in the corner and cry.. someone on irc insulted my man-hood [02:40] ( sorry for the re-paste ) [02:40] !offtopic | SirBob1701 teknoprep [02:40] SirBob1701 teknoprep: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:40] IdleOne, does it really matter? [02:41] i download cpu meter for gdesklets .. how to install it? .. i tried in /usr/share/gdesklets/display but i din work. [02:41] teknoprep: yes [02:41] teknoprep: np manhood means nothing [02:41] agreed [02:41] is there a way in ubuntu to leave the graphics and go to command line, not as shell? [02:41] Anyone know how to customize what port ubuntu's remote desktop listens on? [02:41] heatmzzr, Ctrl+Alt+F1 [02:41] heatmzzr, ctl-alt-f1 ? [02:41] thanks folks [02:42] Is there a Thunderbird to Evolution converter? [02:42] hello. i've been using various versions of ubuntu for about two years now, but still can't get samba working consistently for the life of me. it seems to work for about a day every two months, but then its back to not being able to connect (btwn two ubuntu systems; i use samba cuz sometimes there's a winpc on the network). anyone have any pointers? [02:42] hmm... does anyone know if systems with non-matching times would affect SSH logins with RSA keys? [02:42] SpookyET, converter of what [02:42] account [02:43] I don't feel like redownloading everything via GMAIL's slow IMAP [02:43] SpookyET, for email or your contacts? [02:43] SpookyET, its not that slow [02:43] no contacts. email [02:43] I'm finding 7.10 very buggy on my rig - I am aware that there have been issues for some and it appears that I am one of them. However, I do like the OS and want to stay with it. While waiting on hardy I'd like to stay with ubuntu. So, which version would you suggst - 7.4 or 6.10? [02:43] i download cpu meter for gdesklets .. how to install it? .. i tried in /usr/share/gdesklets/display but i din work. [02:43] SpookyET, also imap only caches on your localhost... your going to have to get your emails downloaded again no matter what [02:44] Iggz: try 6.10 if it works well then !upgrade to 7.04 [02:44] how do i find the size of each installed program? [02:44] teknoprep: not if you make it sync and download everything. [02:44] my /root folder is being used up [02:44] anyone know status on new nvidia drivers? [02:45] yan_: in synaptic you can see sizes of installed programs [02:45] IdelOne: Thank you sounds a good idea. Can you do a download upgrade by the way otr is it a fresh installll everytime? === sabayonuser is now known as sabaya [02:45] SirBob1701, why do you want new drivers? [02:45] yan_: however, there are no installed programs in /root [02:45] I mean in the root partition [02:45] teknoprep: the current ones crash on video files sometimes and require a restart to play correctly. [02:46] well open synaptic, go to settings and make sure the column for installed size is enabled, then go to installed packages, and sort by installed size [02:46] that's the recipe :) [02:46] SirBob1701, you sure thats nv drivers and not just your divx / decoder ? [02:46] teknoprep: reinstalled them several times already to see if it was them [02:46] hey guys, where's the NTP server file kept? [02:47] talcite, what NTP server file? the conf file ? [02:47] engla_, thanks. How do you deframent a disk? [02:47] talcite, do this ' sudo updatedb ' [02:47] talcite, after that finishs do this ' sudo locate ntp | grep conf [02:48] yan_: should normally not be needed; I don't know [02:48] teknoprep: thanks [02:48] i updated to the new hardy systems seems to be running just fine tho [02:48] is there a way i can view/edit upnp devices on my network, like my router? [02:48] * nickrud boggles at hardy now [02:49] nickrud: that good or bad? [02:49] SteveScum, there are programs that use upnp to open ports on routers but the best way to update your router configs is best through the web configuration [02:49] IdleOne, I grew up in linux running debian unstable, but ubuntu betas more than a month or so before release? I like to get things done :) [02:50] SteveScum, most torrent programs have a upnp plugin tha tworks with upnp enabled routers [02:50] yeah, its not for my router, and the only way i can access it for the first time is upnp, but i dont know a program to access upnp [02:51] its another device i mean [02:51] what is it? [02:51] sounds like a shitty device [02:51] hi , I'm on dial up , can some one tell me how to deal with ubuntu updates ? ( 88 mb one week , 82 mb the next week ) [02:51] ohioguy, don't update [02:52] in ubuntu can you login as root? [02:52] heatmzzr: no [02:52] ohioguy, enable your firewall... and don't allow anything to directly access you computer unless you request it.. then ... don';t update [02:52] ohioguy go to starbucks and download them [02:52] hi guys. i'm trying to install ubuntu onto a partition that I have already created under windows. i have chosen the 'manual' option, and when i select my partition and click forward it says 'no root file system specified'. what am i doing wrong? [02:53] MiLK, make the mount point / [02:53] MiLK, also youll prolly want a swap partition [02:53] ohioguy, I have a couple of one liners I used to use, no error checking but they work, I'll put them on a pastebin === JonathanD is now known as JonathanDS [02:53] hmmm ,, starrbucks is about 50 miles away ,,, and I don't drink coffee ,,, lol [02:53] network print router, for some reason i cant access it, and in the manual it says another way to access its setup is through upnp, but i dont know of a way of doing it on ubuntu === JonathanDS is now known as JonathanD [02:53] ok thx MasterShrek - how do I add a swap partition? [02:54] hello, has anyone had a problem with 64-bit OS livecds like ubuntu and leopard kernel panicking [02:54] are there any other audio recording/editing programs that are free, besides audacity? [02:54] do i do it via 'edit partition'? [02:54] MiLK, generally you want to make the swap partition of size equal to the amount of ram you have, although i cannot exactly tell you how to do it (since i dont have the installer right in front of me) it shold be pretty straight forward [02:54] i have a ecs board with intel core 2 duo i think 1.86Ghz [02:54] ohioguy 50 miles closer waiting, hmm i think the later advice was better dont update [02:54] ok thx [02:55] hello everyone [02:55] Is there a utility for watching a directory for changes (add/remove files, etc)? [02:55] ohioguy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47649/ , I'd run these overnight, the first if I wasn't already on line, the second if I was [02:55] but I don't like the idae of not getting security updates , [02:55] what format should the swap partition be MasterShrek? [02:55] Anyone else got a regularly-broken back button in swiftfox 3.0b2pre? [02:55] can someone help me out with "seahorse-agent" [02:55] MiLK, it shold be swap or maybe its called linux-swap [02:55] MiLK: the type/format is swap [02:56] ah, im hguessing 'swap' lol [02:56] yes [02:56] modoc: look into gamin, inotify [02:56] im having difficulty installing libdvdcss2 & w32codecs [02:56] Hey, I'm partitioning for 7.10, should this be logical or primary? Also, the mount point should be just "/" (without quotation) right? [02:56] my bad :P [02:56] anyone know what to do? [02:56] !medibuntu | jaypro [02:56] jaypro: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:56] jrib: will do, thanks [02:56] ohioguy, you can drop the y from the -dy options if you don't want to manually do the actual upgrade install [02:56] ohioguy, I mean do want to [02:56] I'm setting it up to Dual boot Vista/7.10 [02:56] bbardlbradd, primary [02:56] that was quick... thanks for the link MasterShrek [02:57] bbardlbradd, coorect, just a / no quotes [02:57] np jaypro [02:57] yeah is there any good reason to use anything but primary these days [02:57] what format should my main linux drive be? [02:57] if you want more than 4 partitions [02:57] ext3 MiLK [02:57] thx [02:57] Mastershrek, Thanks so much! Oh, and how much VM does 7.10 usually use? [02:57] Hello. I have a friend who is blind. She has very little vision. Is there an Ubuntu setup that she can download that is already set up for the blind or will I have to customize one for her? [02:57] I can't create SSH keys via "Seahorse", its missing. I can only create "PGP keys". Does anyone know the fix?? [02:58] bbardlbradd, it depends on alot of factors, are you worried about how much ram you have? [02:58] modoc: just read about incron, but depends on what you want to do [02:58] MasterShrek, I have only 1Gb of memory and GPU shares it. [02:58] * stemount pokes kbrooks [02:58] :0 [02:59] bbardlbradd, youll be just fine, thats how my machine is set up [02:59] jrib: I'd like to have something watches a directory periodicly and updates a playlist. [02:59] can someone help me out?? [02:59] bbardlbradd - with 2gb of RAM, ubuntu uses none of my swap here. With 512MB it uses something like 30MB [02:59] nickrud , thanks for the info ,, I'll try that , [02:59] modoc: yep, you can do that with any of the three. incron works like cron though [02:59] I have 36Gb @ my disposal, I plan on putting Leopard on the smallest patrician... just b/c i know it'll be a while before I work it all out right... [02:59] bbardlbradd unless you are gaming or running compiz with all the perks up high the gpu shouldn't use much, it kind of depends on what programs you are going to be running [03:00] HoboBen, orly? interesting. [03:00] so, does anyone know if there's a blind-friendly ubuntu already set up? [03:00] anyone have a laptop with nvidia card that is capable of suspend? [03:00] kidugar, what do u need? [03:00] i have a gig of ram in this one im on and ubuntu uses none of my swap [03:00] ohioguy, looking at that, I used the old method of getting a ppp connection, you'll also want to set up your dialup with pppconfig , it can coexist with the networkmanager version [03:00] should a swap partition be logical yeah? [03:00] nah [03:00] Elizabeth, I won't be doing much w/ it... Just internet things and typing... basic sh*t [03:00] lbakalinsky: I can't create SSH keys via "Seahorse", its missing. I can only create "PGP keys". [03:00] make it primary MiLK [03:00] but i have 2 gig swap [03:00] primary? [03:00] ok [03:01] jrib: I see gamin and incron in the repos so I'll start there. [03:01] and the location should be beginning or end? [03:01] MiLK, doesnt matter, i usually put the swap at the end [03:01] ok cool [03:01] i resumed my comp from hibernate and now the screen just flickers the cursor (nothing else) when i move the mouse [03:01] MiLK - end is faster, as it physically spins faster on the disk [03:01] what are the open source nvidia drivers called? [03:02] peepsalot, nv [03:02] jrib: I'm thinking of creating an audacious plugin with this. [03:02] cool HoboBen [03:02] milk, i usialy put swap on the end, because thats the fastest part of the drive [03:02] nickrud ,,, I don't dial out from ubuntu , at the moment I'm dialing out with winxp (with int connection shareing ,) then through a linux router to my home network [03:02] modoc: then yeah, you want gamin or inotify [03:02] i can't find anything online why 64bit OSes all crash, but not 32 bit, i know my board/processor support them, can anyone think of a reason [03:02] lbakalinsky: I'm running seahorse 2.21.3 [03:02] Now it's asking me about swap space, it doesn't do this automatically I guess... should I make a new partition specifically for swap? How much should I dedicate to swap, like 2Gb? [03:03] can anyone tell me how to install firefox 2? i downloaded and extracted the tar gz folder.. do i need to use the tar in synaptic? or use the extracted folder somehow [03:03] and does the swap partition need a mount point specified? [03:03] could it be my geforce or sound card, like it won't work if they are even installed [03:03] milk, no [03:03] bbardlbradd, 1 gig, if thats how much ram you got [03:03] ok thx steve [03:03] bbardlbradd: 2x ram [03:03] Elizabeth - apparently it's because a lot of the drivers aren't 64bit. Something like that, I heard [03:03] kevinkokesh, why not just use the firefox that comes with ubuntu? It gets security updates regularly [03:03] bbardlbradd, and yes, create one for it [03:03] I just did a fresh install of Gutsy, and now flash seems to be not working. I installed it through firefox, (flashplugin-nonfree or whatever the package is called) but websites say that I need to install flash, also the missing plugin thing pops up in firefox still. Any suggestions on how to get flash to work would be appreciated [03:03] nickrud: i am using ubuntu 5.1 and my updater thinger doesn't work?? [03:03] kevinkokesh: i believe the firefox that comes with ubuntu is ff 2 [03:04] andruk: i have ff 1.0.5 , im on ubuntu 5.1 [03:04] kevinkokesh, oh, that would be a good reason. The issue of security remains, though. just cd to the firefox folder, and type ./firefox in the terminal [03:04] jared: have you restarted firefox after installing flash? [03:04] Kidugar, i've sent you a message via a private window [03:04] andruk, yes, and I just tried restarting my whole comp just incase it was something weird like that... [03:04] Where would I go to troubleshoot for power management (Gnome) when my LCD monitor will only sleep once after boot then stays on indefinitely? [03:04] kevinkokesh, 5.10 (my favorite) doesn't get security updates anymore [03:05] What does it mean when it asks "Location for new partition" and has "Beginning" and "End" [03:05] ? [03:05] Should Swap be logical? [03:05] no bbardlbradd [03:05] primary === mojo__ is now known as mojo [03:05] nickrud: can't i install ff manually ? i downloaded it from mozilla's website [03:05] and put it at the end :) [03:05] no bbardlbradd assume primary [03:05] Hello all [03:06] I am having trouble playing a DiVX mpg file in VLC [03:06] I get no picture [03:06] MiLK, why? I put the EXT3 partition @ Beginning, should I change it? [03:06] I don't even know what that means... so I'm lost [03:06] Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong? [03:06] how do i install downloaded software i tryed synaptic [03:06] hi folks === lee_ is now known as Cueball|Laptop [03:06] bbardlbradd, the ext3 at the beginning is fine [03:06] i need help [03:06] bbard its just the location on the hard drive, in relation to other partitions, this is important if you have to resize shrink etc. [03:06] i dont think it matters [03:07] bbardlbradd, put the swap at the end, both of them should be primary [03:07] kevinkokesh, it's already ready to go. You can move the whole folder to /home/ , then system->preferences->preferred apps, and change web browser to /home//firefoxfolder/firefox [03:07] lbakalinsky: I dint get your msg. I also sent you PM now, did you got it? [03:07] name a good file manager? [03:07] kevinkokesh, but you can't add it to the apt package management [03:07] how can i restart a session of X when i change pressiong ctrl+alt+f3 [03:07] nickrud, thank you. i thought that might be the case but I didn't know where it went. i'll try it, thanks [03:07] sander__, from the terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:07] linuxuser: what are you trying to install? In general, you do not download things yourself, you install from the repositories using a program like synaptic. [03:08] MasterShrek: and if i dont have gdm ? [03:08] trying to install eclipse [03:08] sander__, what do you have? kde? [03:08] use kdm then [03:08] MasterShrek: ok i will test here.. thanks a lot [03:08] !info eclipse | linuxuser [03:08] linuxuser: eclipse: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE.

I turn every effect off but they still won't run properly. I think I have a problem with OpenGL [03:11] Should my partition list be Vista, Linux, Free space, and Swap... in that order??? [03:11] eyemean: #ubuntu-offtopic is better [03:11] jrib, thanx for ur help, much appreciated [03:11] bbardlbradd i really don't think it matters [03:11] bbardlbradd, the order isnt extremely important [03:11] I think it should be Vista Linux Swap Free space but i am not sure [03:11] k:) [03:11] bbardlbradd, so youll be fine :) [03:11] tyronepolleri, it doesnt matter [03:11] jrib, do you think that it would be better to just wait for the update? Theres not really any urgency, I just did a clean install though, and was trying to get it working again [03:11] I can't create SSH keys via "Seahorse", its missing. I can only create "PGP keys". Does anyone know the fix?? [03:12] as long as freespace is at the end or beginning is all [03:12] i dont think that matters either Elizabeth [03:12] MasterShrek, thanks, and can you help me with my video problem [03:12] the partitions are labeled either way, no matter where the free space is [03:12] jared: well, as long as you understand what you are doing it doesn't really matter [03:12] hi there, how to I get php to function with mysql, i am currently getting call to undefined function mysql_connect(); I have removed php5 and installed php5-mysql [03:13] jrib, alright, thanks for the help [03:13] not really tyronepolleri, i dont use compiz, im against it [03:13] Does anyone know of a good use for the "Notes" feature in Nautilus? [03:13] MasterShrek, but the problem I think is opengl not compiz because i turn it off [03:13] If when i try to connect to freenodes aqsis channel it says i need to be identified what does that mean?

[03:21] LimCore, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:21] MasterShrek: ^ [03:21] a reboot wont help you for this [03:21] MasterShrek: what more is needed then installing flash and flash plugins [03:21] ideally, you only ever need to reboot when your kernel gets upgraded [03:22] LimCore, that should be it i believe, are you using 64 bit ubuntu by chance? [03:22] MasterShrek: yes [03:22] sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper [03:23] flash is not supported in 64 bit, so nspluginwrapper uses the 32 bit plugin [03:23] please help me. I get in the terminal you are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration) what can I do ? :( [03:23] I have it already [03:23] !flash64 [03:23] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:23] kidugar check the private IM [03:23] lbakalinsky, he wont get it unless your nick is registered (just so u know) [03:23] has anyone here had success installing the 1.5.x lighttpd from source on gutsy?

[03:24] MasterShrek: looking to play around with some lighttpd modules and use something in a smaller footprint [03:24] LimCore, no, but you can [03:24] any other gui's for iptables besides firestarter. firestarter does not seem to support 3 nics [03:24] esoterik, having problems compiling it or what? [03:25] Bawbatos, i have not heard of one [03:25] uhg. [03:25] 3 nics. it is so basic. [03:25] doesnt mean there isnt one [03:25] !firewall [03:25] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:25] the compile process seems to go fine (new to it though, no major errors) but adding it to runit gives me errors, so I'm having trouble getting it to start [03:25] I have nspluginwrapper, and flash adobe packages... what more?

[03:26] cool sander__ good to hear :) [03:26] * MiLK has successfully installed ubuntu [03:26] hmm, i just installed ubuntu from the alternative install cd, and it looks like it didn't make any changes to my mbr, so now I can't boot into my install (had windows installed w/ acronis bootloader on the mbr before). how do i fix this? [03:26] :D [03:26] * MasterShrek applauds MiLK [03:26] how do I confirm what graphics driver I have installed? [03:26] MasterShrek: what should i be entering into rc.local, havent used it before [03:26] MasterShrek: its will serve for many things hehehh [03:27] MasterShrek: thanks, see ya... [03:27] without destroying my windows partition this time as well :) [03:27] does anyone know how I can get my asus eax1600 silent video card to work fully with ubuntu??? [03:27] MasterShrek: I did thoes steps, still doesnt work [03:27] LimCore, did you restart firefox afterwards?

[03:30] I'm having trouble installing drivers for nvidia on Feisty [03:30] does anyone know how I can get my asus eax1600 silent video card to work fully with ubuntu? where can i find a working module? can anyone help me out? [03:30] Mastershrek for some reason I feel the info logges on CTRL-ALT Terminals is not captured inside my dmesg or messages or syslog files [03:30] tehdave: you can use the wiimote on your pc? [03:30] groovy: have you tried envy? [03:30] LimCore, not really sure, i havent set up nspluginwrapper in awhile, and i dont really remember how to [03:30] Has anyone seen the following message when running smbtree: "Server requested plaintext password but 'client use plaintext auth' is disabled" [03:30] esoterik, I'm just trying this out... my friend gave me a CD [03:30] drgeb, that info should be logged somewhere though [03:30] Burlynn: The Wiimote is a bluetooth device, so yes, yes you can XD [03:31] How do I set Vista as first on GRUB list??? [03:31] okay, i'm using the rescue cd to boot off of the install, my screen goes blank, there's hard drive activity, and i can't seem to change out to a different vtty? ideas? i have an 8800gts ... [03:31] tehdave: for your mouse huh? thats crazy. gotta look into that [03:31] bbardlbradd: chainloader [03:31] we hope you like it groovy2shoes [03:31] bbardlbradd, move the vista section to the top of the list in /boot/grub/menu.list [03:31] LimCore, what's that? [03:31] what version of fglrx does gutsy come with? [03:31] groovy: either download the new ubuntu live cd (gutsy) as nvidia worked flawlessly out of the box, otherwise google 'envy ubuntu' and download the script. it will auto setup the drivers for you in feisty, but requires an installed system i believe. [03:31] MasterShrek, that's it? [03:32] !info fglrx [03:32] Package fglrx does not exist in gutsy [03:32] thanks, esoterik :) [03:32] bbardlbradd, yeap, dont move it to the top of the file though, just put it above the first ubuntu entry [03:32] Burlynn: there's a few different things I've found, but what seems to make the most sense for me is something called WMD, which is actually a python script...but noone seems to have a mirror of it, just the main site (which is down) [03:32] tehdave, see if you can get to it using google's cache feature, they may have mirrors on there [03:32] MasterShrek, ok... if I'll look into it in a min. If it's not apparent, I'll ask more. [03:33] okay, i'm using the rescue cd to boot off of the install, my screen goes blank, there's hard drive activity, and i can't seem to change out to a different vtty? ideas? i have an 8800gts ... [03:33] Mastershrek is there away to force all messages to tty's to be pushed into a file ? [03:33] anybody to help me please? [03:33] drgeb, maybe, i wouldnt know how to though [03:33] floydian: whats up? [03:33] does anyone know how I can get my asus eax1600 silent video card to work fully with ubuntu? where can i find a working module? can anyone help me out?

[03:36] LimCore: there is no root password [03:36] i've got problem with wine and probably combiz as well.. i'm noob in linux, but everytime i lunch WoW trough Wine it freez the game every 2-15 minutes random. Any sugestions? [03:36] i dont want anything firefox, that stuff is lame... [03:37] LimCore: the root account is locked [03:37] Cpudan80 - if you haven't tried this already, look for packages like "restricted extras" inside Applications > Add/Remove [03:37] If anyone has any suggestions... I'd appreciate it [03:37] macogw: there is, I de-noobified ubuntu by sudo passwd root [03:37] does ubuntu have concept of bootlogd for gutsy version that is [03:37] HoboBen: Got that one [03:37] LimCore: you'd want the person to not be a sudoer then and just let them type su [03:37] LimCore, ah, that's not something sudo can do, it always auths against user password [03:37] nickrud: huh? I want simply to allow user to type sudo foo and then type ROOT password (not user password) [03:37] * nickrud is hurt, he's used sudo since 2002 [03:38] Does anyone know if the Belkin Wifi cards work in 7.10? It's detecting networks and asking for keys, but it's not connecting... is this common? [03:38] LimCore: thats not what sudo is for [03:38] LimCore, precisely, you can't [03:38] this sucks [03:38] LimCore: you'd have to have them just use su [03:38] LimCore: thats how sudo always works [03:38] was sudo written by microsoft or what [03:38] just installed ubuntu the other day and im wondering why we have to update the kernel? [03:38] LimCore: no it was written in 1985 [03:38] LimCore: the sudoers man page explains the option you want, but I'm really curious as to what the purpose is? [03:38] Cpudan80, sorry then - I can't remember what to do. It's ages since I configured my other distros with multimedia stuff [03:38] by nerds? [03:38] LimCore sudo doesn't use root password unless root is the one calling and that would be redundant [03:38] It's ok [03:38] CaRtz: adds & updates drivers and gets rid of security vulnerabilities [03:38] maybe someone else has an idea? [03:38] LimCore, sudo is designed to give users some root privs, if someone knows the root password, why use sudo? [03:39] ??? [03:39] macogw: so that's why. thank you. [03:39] the problem is, that entire ubuntu is using gsudo and shit, and I need this to ask root password, since asking user password is horribly insercure [03:39] LimCore: why would you want to give them the root password anyway? [03:39] it's so insecure like vista [03:39] LimCore: no. opposite [03:39] macogw: nope [03:39] LimCore: the reason we lock root is so that someone can't know "root" then brute force the password. they need to know the usrname too [03:39] LimCore: only users in the "admin" group can use sudo [03:39] balikpapan [03:39] LimCore, only users that are allowed to use sudo are allowed to do that [03:40] LimCore: then add on that you can see WHICH user did the stupid thing that broke it [03:40] LimCore, so don't add a user to the admin group, voila, no gksudo [03:40] LimCore giving users the root password is just as insecure [03:40] macogw: user X clicked FireFox install flash plugin; now what is more secure: a) he have to input own password and then he can change system -or- b) he have to call admin to have root password [03:40] Does anyone know if the Belkin Wifi cards work in 7.10? It's detecting networks and asking for keys, but it's not connecting... is this common? [03:40] LimCore: and that you dont have to find some way to make a user forget the root password [03:40] oioi [03:40] balikpapan [03:40] LimCore, see my last, that's how you secure sudo. [03:40] elband, me? [03:41] holy cow! pidgin is using 54k in memory right now [03:41] kappakappuccino what a hog. [03:41] this can't be right [03:41] LimCore: to revoke a users sudo rights does not require that things change for anyone else. if you want someone to not be able to touch the system after they know the root password, you either need to make them forget the password (yeah, thatll work) or change it and make everyone else go memorize yet another password [03:41] 54k? why wouldnt that be right? [03:41] nickrud: but if user clicks firefox install p;ugin (that runs gksudo) and he calls admin, and admin inputs password for him, then its what I need also [03:41] bbardlbradd: this laptop has a belkin in it right now [03:41] doesnt sound too out of the ordinary, 64m maybe [03:41] the root pass is all or nothing, sudo allows you to go somewhere in between [03:41] macogw: or admin type it for user [03:41] hi, i'm missing my firefox menu entry in gnome. the .desktop file is still in /usr/share/applications/ . any ideas? [03:42] LimCore, ah, well, I'd expect the admin to set up the machine ahead of time [03:42] well firefox is using 83,xxx k right now [03:42] drafael, thanks for the reply, I got it working. Sorry for the waste. [03:42] and pidgin close 2nd at 54,xxx k [03:42] nickrud: its not my use case [03:42] that's pretty high for a chat client [03:42] bbardlbradd: ah, np - glad to hear it [03:42] LimCore: for gksudo (but not regular sudo) you can change the behaviour in gconf-editor. ive seen it on debian [03:42] LimCore if you want all users to be able to run one command as root them add a line like this example to the sudoers file. ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD : /sbin/modprobe * <<< exapmle only. but allows all users to modprobe at will without any password and does not compromise anything else [03:42] LimCore, I can imagine, like a school lab or such [03:42] and even for one machine, account password can be like "foobar", but admin password can be something real [03:42] drafael, goodmorning :P [03:42] jesus sudo is so useless [03:43] Hi again i can not turn on my 3d acceleration I have an intel 965 can anyone help me? [03:43] different_reality: aaah! I have something important to tell you about my script, don't use it x_x [03:43] greate now I have to read PAM manuall, linux - its free - if your time is worthless [03:43] LimCore only to those that don't understand it. [03:43] LimCore: no, it's not [03:43] hahahaha [03:43] LimCore: you only give admins the ability to sudo, not every user on your system... [03:43] drafael, ok :P [03:43] LimCore: it means "super user do" and it is only meant to be a simon-says for regular users to be elevated. if you already have root access, you dont fscking need it [03:43] <_seanc_> I have a question about battery life on a laptop. I currently have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and when I had Vista installed it allowed me to throttle the processors (Balanced, Power Save, Performance) to prolong the battery life. Is it possible to do this in Ubuntu? I've been googling and have found nothing useful. [03:43] any of you had experience with Wine and Compiz?? [03:43] LimCore: ANYWAY though, as i said, you can change a setting in gconf-editor so that the GUI asks for root's password [03:43] macogw: I want my user to have normall password "foo", and have 2843ugqjerg825yg for root password [03:43] LimCore: fine. so set that. [03:44] different_reality: if you look at one of the lines it deletes files with the name archive.* so if you extract something with the same name from the archive but a different extension, you'll lose it [03:44] macogw: ok I will look inoto that option [03:44] different_reality: also, good night o_o it must be late there now [03:44] heh [03:44] actually.. it's almost 6 am :p [03:44] !info fglrx [03:44] Package fglrx does not exist in gutsy [03:44] Has anyone seen the following message when running smbtree: "Server requested plaintext password but 'client use plaintext auth' is disabled" [03:44] ...if you get up that early.... -_-;; [03:44] LimCore: open gconf-editor then click apps > gksu and turn off "sudo mode" [03:44] drafael, you'll be wondering what exactly i'm doing online at that time [03:44] hmm get up? [03:44] LimCore: then itll act like su instead of sudo [03:45] i haven't slept yet :PP [03:45] LimCore: here is how your example works: user without ability to sudo tries to install flash. Cannot do so, so calls admin. Admin logs in and installs flash. [03:45] I was hoping that was the case lol.. After my late night, I got up at 2:40pm x_x (don't kill me) [03:45] hahahahaha [03:45] i won't :P [03:45] LimCore: dont know if youve ever used any other OS, but OSX *also* uses sudo [03:46] jrib: the thing is, I want to do it exacly using firefox -> gksudo -> ... and NOT by loging as root, aptitude install etc since Im debugging some problem [03:46] it's not necessary to use sudo for installing flash plugin, it's installed in ~/.mozilla/plugins you don't need root rights [03:46] that's probably the time that I will be waking up too.. even though I'm under the impression that my mom is gonna come tomorrow first thing in the morning.. and wake me up :(((((((((( (She's supposed to come and see me ) [03:46] common guys, nobody to help me? What's the linux about? [03:46] uhci_: not true for installing the ubuntu package [03:46] floydian: whats the problem [03:46] floydian: it's a kernel [03:46] LimCore: well ok, you've been given the solution, but I still believe this is not the correct thing to do [03:46] uhci_: no, flash fails at ubuntu === different_realit is now known as differentreality [03:47] jrib: its correct for my usecase [03:47] LimCore: you need flashplugin-nonfree, by the way [03:47] oh no D: barricade the doors and windows [03:47] macogw: have it [03:47] LimCore: the flash package currently does not install flash [03:47] still doesnt work [03:47] the problem is between Wine and Compiz.... :( [03:47] jrib: uh, what it does then [03:47] jrib: huh?? [03:48] floydian: turn off one or the other then [03:48] macogw: adobe updated flash so md5sums on the package do not match [03:48] oh yeah...is there a reason viewing flash objects seems to like making Mozilla crash in Linux? [03:48] jrib: nswrapper.. and ...-nonfree and all adobe flash players/plugins... and doesnt work [03:48] drafael, hahahah can't do that you know... I've hurt my leg.. a week now.. can't walk.. she needs to come :P I've got, shopping, housework.... many many things need to be done :P [03:48] jrib: why it takes so long to relase new version of script [03:48] jrib: ooo right [03:48] LimCore: go download it direct from adobe's website [03:48] i installed flash plugin using firefox on 7.04 using navigator's procedure [03:48] LimCore: adobe updated flash so md5sums on the package do not match. You need to either wait for the package to be updated or grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so manually (preferrably to ~/.mozilla/plugins/) [03:48] uhci_: version change [03:48] it' was functional for me [03:49] LimCore: feel free to volunteer your time to make the package updates take less time [03:49] differentreality: that's terrible :( in that case, welcome your enslaved mother with open arms, haha. I hope it's not too severe [03:49] "linux is so stupid" reasoning behind that "because some non-free app doesn't work in linux" [03:49] uhci_, that used a different method of installing flash than gutsy did; direct from adobe into your home, gutsy uses packagemanagemet [03:49] hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 desktop amd64 on my dual core 2 duo system, and the installer hangs when I select "start or install ubuntu", or anything else for that matter === broken is now known as __broken [03:50] are you using the x64 isntaller? [03:50] drafael, heh.. yeaaaaah... and the thing is that i have a list of things i need from the supermarket... so I have to be nice to her, so that she goes and get it all!! [03:50] I don't know, how do I tell? [03:50] LimCore: which would probably mean donating a server and a LOT of high-speed bandwidth [03:50] kappakappuccino: I'm just selecting the option from the menu it presents me [03:50] toastjam: before you debug your problem, are you sure you want the 64bit version of ubuntu and not the 32bit one? [03:51] yeah, I'm going to use this as a server machine [03:51] differentreality, I'm sure she will ^^ I need to go out and be active myself soon D: [03:51] hi there [03:51] pls stop thinking about 64bit version... it's useless [03:51] i have some questions on installing ubuntu [03:51] so I hear [03:51] toastjam: you know hat 64bit addresses mean everything uses roughly twice the mem, right? [03:52] I checked the md5sum on the iso and that was fine... I can't verify that the cd is defect free due to the hanging, though [03:52] toastjam: unless you're doing video rendering...not sure its really necessary [03:52] Hey, when I scroll on the desktop w/ my touch pad (by accident) it changes workspaces, how do I shut this off? [03:52] drafael, I am NOT so sure :P It will still be a miracle actually if she comes... she never does... and I live only 1.5 hour away... [03:52] macogw: I'm pretty sure that's wrong about the mem >_> [03:52] I have 4gb of ram in the machine, so I need a 64bit address space [03:52] toastjam: ah ok [03:52] hj does anybody have a VMware workstation for Linux serial?? or do you know where to find one for Linux??? i have some but for windows an them doesnt works... [03:52] hmm [03:52] "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" [03:53] I'm going to be doing a lot of computations on the machine... anyhow, where should I start to find the cause of the lockup? [03:53] toastjam: you can verify the cd from the menu that says "start or install ubuntu" [03:53] drafael: well an int in 32bit is 32 bits. you cant use less than one "word" of memory, so an int would then be 64bit, i think. i can double check. [03:53] Hey, when I scroll on the desktop w/ my touch pad (by accident) it changes workspaces, how do I shut this off? [03:53] jrib: yes, I tried that, but selecting that option makes it hang too :/ [03:53] differentreality, ...I don't know what to say :( [03:53] toastjam: what speed did you burn at? [03:53] bbardlbradd, do a barell roll [03:53] j/k [03:53] earlmred bad info in the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/devices.map is normally the cause of that [03:53] i have a partition on my computer, a C and D drive, if I wipe the c drive can i install ubuntu on the C without hurting the D partition? [03:53] drafael, well don't thing there is anything to say :/ do you live alone or with your parents ? [03:53] Kappakappuccino: ouch [03:54] macogw, I just remember reading something saying that that wasn't the case when investigating 64-bit kubuntu. It didn't really work out though -.-;; [03:54] I was actually wondering the same thing about mousewheel scrolling and changing workspaces...and whether you can disable it [03:54] Hi guys, I just setup ip masquerading and ping -I eth1 192.168.1.200 works. On the clinet computer I set up the tcp/ip settings and it connects. But when i go to ping the server to see if they are talking. It timesout [03:54] any ideas? [03:54] jrib: don't remember... I'm sharing one cd drive between machines or else I would have tried reburning already [03:54] differentreality, I'm with my mother for the next year, then moving out (!) [03:54] thought I would check to see if there were any known issues with amd64 install hanging though [03:54] drafael: im sitting in the engineering dorm. ill go ask some of the other students [03:55] drafael, nice :) you are going away to study ? [03:55] macogw: I'm probably wrong ^^" [03:55] toastjam: I installed amd64 with no issues. I'd suggest burning again at 2x or 4x. Also, consider using the alternate cd (text-based install) [03:55] Anybody who's got experience with Wine and Compiz at the same time? [03:55] also, why cant I ftp to the clients computer with gftp , yet I can ping the clients computer with ping -I eth1 192.168.1.200 [03:55] ? [03:55] HOW DO I TURN OFF STICKY KEYS? [03:55] MirrorImage: please don't use all-caps [03:56] differentreality, don't want to spend all of uni at home :P I've planned for flatting with some friends so yeah - they all want to wait until second year though so I will too [03:56] ITS THE STICKY KEYS [03:56] rlfol, a real reason [03:56] hj does anybody have a VMWARE workstation for Linux serial?? or do you know where to find one for Linux??? i have some but for windows an them doesnt works... [03:56] oh i see :) second year works just fine i think :) so now you are in the first year of university ? [03:56] Can anyone tell me what " 10:45:20 PM: xine: couldn't find demux for >/home/matt/Graduation_2005.avi<" indicates? [03:57] i just isntalled 7.10 and when i enabled the restricted drivers i lost xgl support on an ati mobility radeon 9600 m10 how can i get it back? [03:57] cocox: do _not_ discuss wares here [03:57] more importantyly, how to fix it. [03:57] cocox: this isn't a warez channel [03:57] cocox: serial as in a key so you dont need to pay... that is NOT [03:57] differentreality, I'm on the *have finished school but haven't started uni* time - this is our summer so summer holidays [03:57] have a partition on my computer, a C and D drive, if I wipe the c drive can i install ubuntu on the C without hurting the D partition? [03:57] MirrorImage, system-prefs-universal accessibility - keyboard [03:57] I would assume so sw58 [03:57] drafael: ok the hardware kid says that yes, it would theoretically use twice the memory, but that it's possible there are optimizations to compensate for things like that [03:57] sw58: what is on D [03:58] drafael, i see :) and how old are u ? [03:58] Anybody who's got experience with Wine and Compiz at the same time? [03:58] MirrorImage: Press Shift 5 times in a row? [03:58] okay, if i boot off of the rescue cd and say boot off of first hard drive, it works fine, if i try to boot off grub on the mbr, i get error 17. any ideas? [03:58] Jack a lot of files, music pictures [03:58] matt__ try "sudo apt-get xine xinelib" then "sudo apt-get install xine xinelib" [03:58] randoman i'm not a networking guru my anymeans, but if no one else is trying to help you. route add default gw 192.168.1.200 <<< if that's the server end. on the client end of things might help you. also is ipv4 forwarding enabled ? edit /etc/sysctl to enable [03:58] differentreality, 17.. my birthday is the day before first semester starts lol [03:58] sw58: Just wanted to make sure it wasnt another os [03:58] hahahah [03:58] wine and compiz at the same time is no prob for me [03:58] no not an OS [03:58] sw58: will be fine [03:59] macogw, oh, I see - I didn't realize x_x I use 32-bit mostly anyway though, gave up on kubuntu64 [03:59] drafael, hmm you are done with school earlier than we do... here in greece we finish school at 18, hopefully go to uni... I am in 3rd year now... (20 years old) [03:59] will ubuntu be able to "see" the D drive? [03:59] sw58: yes [03:59] chal : how do you do tha? [03:59] chal : how do you do that? [03:59] Ok so [04:00] okay, if i boot off of the rescue cd and say boot off of first hard drive, it works fine, if i try to boot off grub on the mbr, i get error 17. any ideas? i have 4 other hard drives in the system as md0, and then i have a highpoint IDE controller that is not being used for anything right now plugged in [04:00] When playing videos, I get the errror "Your system is too slow to play this file" [04:00] differentreality, I'm fairly young for my year.. What are you studying? [04:00] It's an ATI card... [04:00] drafael, oh i c... informatics and comminications [04:00] Im wondering if anyone has any ideas [04:00] drafael, what are you gonna study ? [04:00] !journal [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about journal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:00] /dev/sdc1 is my /, /dev/md0 is /home [04:00] differentreality, hopefully mechatronics engineering [04:00] lighttpd or apache, discuss (for small development sandbox) [04:01] earlmred yep get grub and menu.lst to agree with bios on which drive is where [04:01] k thanks intelikey ill look into those thanks [04:01] drafael, you don't know yet? you haven't decided ? [04:01] intelikey strange that i can boot off the rescue cd though ... maybe i should rip out the highpoint IDE card [04:01] what file do I look into to find the characters that clear the screen in a specific terminal type? [04:01] how to uninstall netbeans in gutsy, i install it from other source (not from repository) [04:01] earlmred i.e. if you reorder drives in bios then you have to adjust grub accordingly [04:01] differentreality, first year is general for us: we don't specialize until second, unless you get into an accelerated course [04:02] oh i c :) [04:02] can anyone help me get xgl support with my radeon 9600? [04:02] compleeeeeeetely different educational system drafael .. [04:02] soma2 do you installed it fron source? [04:02] soma2: undo however you installed it. was it a deb? [04:02] how do I determine what version of Python I have installed? [04:02] jrib: yeah, I moved the cd drive over to my amd computer (this one) and tried running the installer there just to check... and it did the same thing here. So I guess it's either the drive or the cd [04:02] differentreality, haha - have you heard of NCEA? we don't get numerical marks in school :D [04:02] soma2: if it was deb, you can remove it with synaptic still. if it was compiled...umm its java so probably not make uninstall....if you still have the jar it may have a way to do it [04:03] hi there - have an interesting question about ubuntu - on mac osx lepoard in ichat 2 people can present stuff to one another as keynote presentation and work remotely on the other person mac i.e. to edit a project etc. anything like this in the pipelin for ubuntu / linux [04:03] how do i make wine act like windows xp and not an earlier version of windows? [04:03] drafael, when we finish school we have exams... the grade of these exams define in which universtity and which field we are gonna study.. [04:03] earlmred linux uses phisical addressing, grub uses bios addressing kinda a throat cutting contest there. one alternate solution might be to use UUID addressing in grub [04:03] drafael, NCEA? no... tell me about it [04:03] deniz_ It should be under winecfg [04:03] intelikey my grub shows UUID addresses, this is a fresh install. [04:03] uhci_: yes, i install it from source not from synaptic [04:03] jrib: so I'm burning the iso to a dvd this time, at 1/4th max speed, hopefully I'll have better luck with it [04:03] intelikey i just pulled out the raid IDE card, same problem, cannot mount selected partition. [04:03] tehdave: python --version [04:04] differentreality, you achieve a standard by passing it, and then higher levels of work get "achievement with merit" or "achievement with excellence" [04:04] anyone here use remote desktop for gusty gibbon [04:04] tehdave: you can put --version after pretty much anything [04:04] macogw: oh no, i install it not from synaptic [04:04] macogw thank you [04:04] soma2: was it from a jar? [04:04] Anyone had problems installing ubuntu on an Nforce4 board, it wont install grub at all, ive tried sofware raid, dmraid fake raid setup, and even without the raid at all, nothing will work, grub just wont install to the mbr, my mobo keeps going to the network boot mode [04:04] toastjam: hmm, no spare cd's? Is it the dvd iso? [04:04] drafael, i see :) [04:04] drafael, does this system work good with students ? [04:04] i heard you can access your desktop from a browser anywhere in the world [04:05] differentreality, well, it's really, really easy haha - there's heaps and heaps of criticism [04:05] tehdave, thx [04:05] differentreality, I find it fairly impossible to fail [04:05] macogw: it's from a .sh [04:05] soma2: thats a shell script. you can look inside and see what it put where, then remove them [04:05] hmm i c :P [04:05] Anybody who's got experience with Wine and Compiz at the same time? [04:05] differentreality: edubuntu is made for in schools [04:05] I like it anyway [04:05] :) [04:05] it's pretty difficult here... [04:06] anyone available to advise me on remote desktops for gusty [04:06] differentreality, drafael: please stay on topic, or move to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:06] differentreality, I imagine D: I like my way [04:06] heh [04:06] ok then [04:06] Templer: what kinda of remote desktop do you need [04:06] tritium, ooooook [04:06] differentreality: it's regular ubuntu with some educational games and maybe dansguardian (blocks inappropriate websites) [04:06] jrib: I have plenty of spare cds, but I don't want to troubleshoot CD quality/drive CD reading flakiness/burn speed as possible causes just for a one time install. so I figure I'll change as many variables as possible [04:06] soma2 go to sources folder and type "sudo make remove" it should work, else you will need to inspect a file named "configure" and search named path's in it and erase files manually [04:06] macogw: all of the folder content ?? is the setup put all the file in the installation folder ?? [04:06] also any one know if Dell will be release and higher end laptops for ubuntu [04:07] macogw, i c :) nice... i didn't know that ebuntu existed [04:07] well, later [04:07] well want to be able to work on projects with a friend i converted to ubuntu remotely without having to email files over and back [04:07] grr [04:07] soma2: they might be spread around a bit because libraries and different things go in different places [04:07] grub is a dirty slut. [04:07] rm is the command to remove a file...what's the command to delete a directory and its contents? [04:07] lol earlmred [04:07] toastjam: k, I have no experience burning the cd iso to a dvd, but I guess it should work [04:07] soma2: the sh probably has a "sh whatever.sh --uninstall" or something [04:07] tehdave rm. [04:07] tehdave: rm -r [04:07] earlmred: keep the channel family friendly, please [04:07] rmdir? [04:07] !cli > tehdave (read the private message from ubotu) [04:07] tehdave: rm -r [04:07] tehdave, rm -rd [04:07] fuk halflife ruined my taskbar [04:07] jrib: hope so, off to try it now [04:07] tehdave: deletes recursively [04:08] hm.... ic [04:08] all my icons r on the right insted of left [04:08] macogw, i was told -rd [04:08] am i wrong?

[04:08] digerati: that'll work [04:08] !language | ubotu [04:08] ubotu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:08] hah. [04:08] digerati: you can do "man rm" to see what different flags do === chal is now known as wallabee [04:08] ok im sry lol [04:08] is it called shadow remote access or something [04:09] macogw, or rm --help [04:09] :) [04:09] . [04:09] is there skype for 64 bit? [04:09] okay, who wants to try to help me with grub hating my system [04:09] onats, why ask that in an ubuntu room? [04:09] digerati, because i'm running 64 bit ubuntu version [04:09] coll.... [04:09] xD === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [04:10] onats: i dont think so [04:10] onats: check their website though. [04:10] Anybody who's got experience with Wine and Compiz at the same time? [04:10] What is the best way to share internet to 2 NICs on the same machine? Bridge them or would I have to route NIC 2 to 1 and have 1 go to 0 since the internet is on 0? [04:10] macogw, yeah i checked.. can't find any links to it.. [04:10] onats: then no. but you can use 32bit software on 64bit os's just fine [04:11] macogw, uhci_, thank's there is the uninstaller shell script on the installation folder, it's solved [04:11] I want to agree beryl to my O.S. [04:11] but I don't know how... [04:11] nominal: if you have gutsy, you want compiz-fusion, not beryl (it's more up to date and stable) [04:11] nominal: compiz-fusion is enabled by default in the latest stable version of ubuntu (7.10) [04:11] okay so i do: grub; root (hd2,0); setup (hd2) [04:11] and it installs fine [04:12] when i reboot, i get error 17 cannot mount selected partition. [04:12] if i install ubuntu on my "C" drive and its able to "see" the D drive will I be able to see/or use the files on that partition? [04:12] sw58: sounds like you're using windows since you call them that. yes, if you're using gutsy, ntfs partitions should be handled fine [04:12] nominal : Why don't you install ubuntu 7.10 with Compiz ? [04:13] I don't know why... [04:13] cool thatnks... last question... [04:13] you have to try it mate ;-) [04:14] anyone here used gstm? [04:15] on my desktop i have to install 3rd party scsi drivers because im running raid disks when i install winblows i have to instal the drivers from a floppy disk.. will ubuntu require the same? === max33 is now known as max [04:16] Who's playing WoW on Linux? [04:16] sw58: um if you google a bit you can see if your raid card is supported [04:16] hmm [04:16] floydian: lots of people who aren't me [04:16] i have a feeling acronis screwed with my mbr [04:16] cool thanks for the help i am looking forward to try this ubuntu out [04:16] doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=512 now [04:16] see what happens. [04:17] earlmred don't forget count=1 [04:17] anyone here used gstm? [04:17] intelikey what's count=1 going to do for me [04:17] where is the DNS information set in ubuntu? it's still in /etc/resolv.conf and set as nameserver 10.0.0.1 ? [04:17] earlmred: thatd zero-out your 3rd hard drive [04:17] 1 wipe? [04:17] macogw that's fine, there's nothing on it. [04:17] trying to figure out how to use it [04:17] earlmred keep it from writing zero to the whole disk [04:18] earlmred: ok. just checking. htere's a reason people call dd "disk destroyer" [04:18] earlmred maybe you better man dd [04:18] y r there so many linux distros? [04:18] deniz_, because no one distro is perfect for everyone? [04:18] macogw : thats great mate ;-) But anyway, do you know, hot they are play the game? I mean, trogh Compiz and Wine or something else? [04:18] anyone available to assist me with remote desktops [04:18] specially ubuntu :P [04:18] !best | deniz_ [04:18] deniz_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [04:18] advice [04:19] well there could be one that has all features of each and u choose during installation [04:19] Templer, not if you don't ask your question [04:19] Templer: just shoot and be patient man. [04:19] jrib: yep, that did the trick, was probably just a bad cd. thanks for the help [04:19] lol @ Thug-life What a name....... [04:19] well want to be able to work on projects with a friend i converted to ubuntu remotely without having to email files over and back [04:19] deniz_, but some people want one that's stripped down and nothing but the bare minimum [04:19] any suggestions guys? [04:20] floydian: just wine, i believe. compiz doesnt have anything to do with it, but i think its a fullscreen game, so youd want to turn off compiz anyway. itd be getting in the way of rendering the game [04:20] well wtv, im happy with ubuntu :) [04:20] Templer, depends on the project but I would suggest setting up a source control system (such as subversion or similar) [04:20] deniz_, you and me both :) [04:20] Templer: set up a server on whichever comp stays on all the time [04:20] remote desktops and revisions systems, i'm so lost,lol [04:21] well say i want to work on a presentation eg powerpoint openoffice after he has done his bit [04:21] macogw : Soo, the windoved mode is tha main problem od the random-time freezing? [04:22] if it's just a single file then I would say just email it :) [04:22] why not use google docs? [04:22] floydian: possibly. when i try fullscreen games they tend to "pop out" [04:22] both can be changing everything there "remotely" [04:22] floydian - I run WoW through Wine with nothing else changed when I play, set to fullscreen, and only have an issue with it when I switch desktops, in which case WoW dissapears [04:22] i just need to get the same view of his desktop that he has on mine [04:22] tehdave: that's why i use cedega [04:23] is vnc any good [04:23] Templer, yes [04:23] hmm [04:23] since i have 500GB drives [04:23] do i need to setup a separate /boot partition? [04:23] Templer: yeah its a standard. but you know that remote desktop is damn slow right? [04:23] BadHorsie: It only happens once in a while, and now that I've figured out what does it (not having any other windows open and trying to get back to the desktop), I can prevent it from ever hapening [04:23] or can grub deal with /boot being on a 500GB / ? [04:24] Templer: you could also try using gobby. it's a collaborative document editor [04:24] hi all! can anyone tell me how to integrate gpg-de-/encryption as nautilus-action in gnome !? [04:24] gobby hmmm sounds good [04:24] hmm... thx, thats a posible solution, but anyway, do you know what's make the freeztime or what it can be? [04:24] I filed a bug report but no one else looked at it [04:24] what did I do wrong ? [04:24] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/173790 [04:25] Templer: gobby is how people who cant get to ubuntu developer summits get their say on the specs being written up [04:25] where is the DNS information set in ubuntu? it's still in /etc/resolv.conf and set as nameserver 10.0.0.1 ? [04:25] BlackDiamonds: you ended up at the end of a LONG list of bugs [04:25] macogw, is it simply time then ? [04:25] pitty its not a simple as via ichat on leporard [04:26] macogw, how do people get their say in how specs are being written up ? [04:26] BlackDiamonds: basically. there's more bugs than can be attacked simultaneously. itll probably be looked at for hardy [04:26] BlackDiamonds: using gobby you can virtually "sit in" on developer summits [04:26] macogw, I filed it under gutsy though [04:26] is there a nautilus action-script for encryption of files via GPG? [04:26] BlackDiamonds: it will not be fixed in gutsy. gutsy is stable. it will be fixed in hardy. [04:27] BlackDiamonds: or "should" be fixed in hardy [04:27] ok im being kicked off irc to learn rails [04:27] bye [04:27] should I change the filing to hardy ? [04:27] bye [04:27] BlackDiamonds: only if you tested it in hardy alpha 1 [04:27] hey guys, i just setup ip masquerading, I can ping the client computer from the server with ping -I eth1 192.168.1.200. But I can not ftp or anything to the client computer. Any ideas? I did enable ipv4 in the sysctl.conf file also [04:27] are linux system words encoded in ust8 or ascii? [04:27] are linux system words encoded in utf8 or ascii? [04:27] BlackDiamonds: you can file that it doesnt work in gutsy, but if its marked for fix/release, it wont be for gutsy updating, itll be for hardy release [04:28] ciclo_: utf-8 usually, i think [04:28] ciclo_: try to do as much in utf8 as possible [04:28] lammy, seahorse will setup right-click items in nautilus for gpg [04:29] !info nautilus [04:29] nautilus: file manager and graphical shell for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.20.0-0ubuntu7 (gutsy), package size 630 kB, installed size 1520 kB [04:29] macogw: if the system's words use ascii, can it save more space? [04:29] : ah thanks - i will try it ... [04:31] anyone here used gstm? i'm trying to figure out how to use it. [04:34] timboy: I've used it before [04:35] so can anyone answer a quick Q about the technical side of this distro ? what is ubuntu's upstream source ? [04:35] or has it now become "a source" [04:35] timboy: however, I actually would suggest that you learn the command lines for tunneling, it's actually easier in the long run. [04:35] timboy: I can help you a little with that if you want [04:36] rubbs, i've got a computer on another network and in it's network I want to use it's https port... is there a way to do that? [04:37] what might be wrong if "sudo ifup eth0" says "no such device" (but i know there's a network adapter, it was working the other day... [04:37] in a terminal how do you navigate to certain places? [04:37] narothepharoh: cd /path/you/want/to/go [04:37] is there any way to put focus on a desktop icon without using the mouse? [04:37] oldmanstan module not inserted [04:37] timboy: I'm sure there is... but I'm still a little new myself. I can try to walk you through what I do incase it can help a little [04:38] oldmanstan ifconfig -a should list the device if the module is inserted [04:38] I'm trying to run the graphical installer with a keyboard but no mouse and don't know the key commands to select the "install" icon [04:38] ok shoot rubbs [04:38] intelikey: oh crap, ya know, it's listed as eth1, why would it change suddenly? [04:38] toastjam: if desktop has focus arrow keys should work [04:38] I'm basically mashing keys and nothing happens, unless I hit the screenshot key [04:39] oldmanstand: right, but how do I focus on the desktop? [04:39] oldmanstan the order in which the hardware is recognized is the order it's listed as [04:39] i installed screensaver plugin on compiz fusion but in ccsm it shows a question mark.... [04:39] timboy: I first will type in 'ssh username@server.com -D 9999' That will give you a proxy using the port 9999. This means that when you direct something to localhost:9999 it will go through that port to your ssh server and then out to the internet on port 9999 [04:39] oldmanstan there is an app to change it tho [04:39] ethtool or some such [04:39] timboy: For example: I need to get around a firewall to use bittorrent [04:39] oldmanstan: hmm hit some alt-combo and got it [04:40] intelikey: thx! [04:40] oldmanstan d'nada [04:40] timboy: so I will ssh to my computer at home with the following command 'ssh rubbs@myserver.com -D 9999 -R 9876:localhost:6789' [04:41] rubbs, yeah I get that. what I want to do use port 80 on another computer in the network... [04:42] timboy is apache or another web server running on that "other computer" ? [04:42] hey everybody [04:42] timboy: ok... easy "ssh username@othercomputer -R portYouWantToConnectLocalhostTo:localhost:80 [04:42] timboy: in the -R the ports might be switched... I have to look it up again [04:42] i mounted an iso earlier. how do i unmount it? [04:43] j0hn__ umount file.iso [04:43] j0hn__ if it's on the desktop right click it [04:43] can anyone help me with a problem i have with a disk... one jfs partition, i tried to repair it with gparted but didnt work: Unrecoverable error reading M from /dev/sdb1. CANNOT CONTINUE. [04:44] This would be my desktop right? narothepharoh@narothepharoh-desktop:~$ [04:44] rubbs, ok lol you've lost me... what is the difference in -D and the -R [04:44] intelikey: thanks, i'll give that a try [04:45] timboy: oh sorry... ok so the -D is the SOCKS proxy part, but the -R means "Remote forwarding" it means that the port originating form the server, will be forwarded to a computer (localhost) across the second port [04:45] can anyone help me with a problem i have with a disk... one jfs partition, i tried to repair it with gparted but didnt work: Unrecoverable error reading M from /dev/sdb1. CANNOT CONTINUE. please.. i dont know what to do [04:46] Hey, when I scroll on the desktop, the workspaces change. Is there a way to turn this off? I don't want to be switching workspaces every time I bump the scroll wheel... [04:46] Hey guys, I have ip masquerading setup, i can ping the clients computer which is a windows machine. but when I go to the clients computer I cant ping the server or get on the internet [04:46] any ideas [04:46] intelikey: thanks, that worked :) [04:46] rubbs, i've got to sit here and think to get it right in my mind.... === DiCha_cHa-Cha__ is now known as cEW_gaOL [04:47] do you know servers in wich i can get some help with disk or partition problems? [04:47] timboy: I understand... It took me a while to figure it out. but once you get it... it helps a lot... one of the best ways to figure it out is to first use "man ssh" [04:47] This would be my desktop right? narothepharoh@narothepharoh-desktop:~$ [04:47] timboy: That will tell you the specific syntax of ssh [04:47] narothepharoh: that's your home folder...your desktop folder is ~/Desktop [04:48] How do I change how I move between workspaces??? [04:48] randoman ##windows might be more helpful seeing that it's probably the client that needs work. [04:48] timboy: I'm guessing that you want to serf the web but going through another computer before going to the internet right? [04:48] tehdave: how do i navagate there [04:48] cd Desktop or cd ~/Desktop [04:48] rubbs, so if i do this command 'ssh rubbs@myserver.com -D 9999 -R 9876:localhost:6789' port 9999 will be port 9876 and port 6789? [04:48] randoman i don't do windows, but you need to set the linux boxes ip as the default gateway [04:49] ok [04:49] with the route command? [04:49] on the client windows box ^ [04:49] yeah I have that done on the windows computer [04:49] well actually. I'll post my question from the vmware section. I have a network with esx on it and i have directed to one of the vm's an ip with ubuntu and ssh. my esx server on the local net is .5 and my ubuntu on local net is .17. I was wondering if I could tunnel through onto my ubuntu box using gstm and access the web interface from here on remotely.? [04:49] rubbs, ^^^ [04:49] the default gateway is 192.168.1.104 [04:49] if you have ipmasq running on the linux "server" box and ipv4 forwarding enabled then the rest is up to the client [04:50] ok [04:50] I want a program for ubuntu that will simulate simple analog circuits with capacitors and inductors and stuff like that. [04:50] its weird that I can ping it [04:50] timboy: if that's the case here's a simple way to do it. "ssh username@othercomputer -R 80:localhost:8080" [04:50] Any recommendations?> [04:51] hi I am trying to mount a folder from a debian server with my ubuntu [04:51] I type this: [04:51] sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.117/shares /mnt/share [04:51] randoman well one other thing to consider iptables if you have things firewalled out you may be blocking the lan as well as the world just a thought. [04:51] I am on desktop. how do i run a program from there? [04:51] hummm [04:51] and it says this: [04:51] Anonymous login successful [04:51] 11182: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) [04:51] yeah very true [04:51] rubbs, ok and that will do what? i'll be able to go to localhost port 80 and it will be .5's port 80 on the network? [04:52] How do I go about changing how I switch between workspaces? I don't want to be accidentally switching via scroll all the time... [04:53] install imwheal [04:53] timboy: no... you will set your browser to connect to localhost port 8080 and then all your information will be forwarded through the server's port 80 [04:53] timboy: at least that's what I understand it as. [04:53] timboy: admittedly I'm still somewhat new at this [04:53] bnalohim, me? [04:53] I am on desktop. how do i run a program from there? [04:53] narothepharoh: what program are you trying to run? [04:53] hey [04:54] I'm having problems installing VM player [04:54] narothepharoh, alt+f2 [04:54] ok thx rubbs i'll give it a whirl. thx! ;) [04:55] I have an error installing the actual OS. I'm using the alternate text based but it cannot detect and mount my external CD/DVD/BURNER. [04:55] timboy: no problem... sorry if I got something a little wrong...but if you read the man pages and sit and think it will work for you... that's how I figured it out [04:55] MasterShrek: thank you for teaching me the "run" command XD [04:55] timboy: let me know how it goes [04:55] Chris_Pikul, how new is the hardware? [04:55] tehdave, =D [04:55] tehdave: i downloaded flash player from adobe in the tar.gz i unpacked im in desktop where i extracted and im writing what it says to write on the website but no work [04:55] Hold on.... [04:56] Quick question... hope someone has an answer.. :) Does anyone know a command that will allow me (in terminal) to view current connections of the computer (like netstat) but also see the in/out transfer speeds to each connection? [04:56] LG Super Multi External, dated for November 2006 [04:56] Chris_Pikul, try checking the cd for defects (one of the options at the cd boot menu) [04:57] narothepharoh: it gives you an error when you try to use ./configure? [04:57] Check the CD-TOM integrity was tried but it cannot mount the device and theres the PCMCIA Dialog first. [04:57] tehdave, you dont ./configure the flash plugin, it doesnt come with source code [04:57] narothepharoh, just install the flashplugin-nonfree package, it's already in ubuntu (sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree) [04:58] MasterShrek: ah, was unaware...I've been using the flashplugin-nonfree -_- [04:58] Chris_Pikul, try burning another copy maybe, other than that i dunno what to tell you [04:58] Hi, what's the best voip client software for ubuntu ? [04:58] I'm learning XD [04:58] narothepharoh, why not just use flash from the repositories? [04:58] dmakalsky, ekiga comes installed by default [04:58] Well it seems to be hardware issue, because its a USB external and it fails on finding Hardware. [04:58] grr [04:58] this grub thing is killing me [04:59] now i just have a blinking cursor [04:59] oh, usb external...hmm, not really sure on that Chris_Pikul, never installed using one of those before [04:59] Yeah thats the problem lol. Cause my internals broken. [04:59] Chris_Pikul, pull the external out of its case and put it in your pc for the install =P [05:00] astro76: it says its the newest version but yahoo is still asking for the adobe plugin [05:00] timboy: I don't know if this will help, but I just remembered something: -R means that the data will start at the remote machine and end where you point it (in our cases it's the localhost part), -L means that the port originates on your machine and gets forwarded to the server. If you're trying to get information from the Internet that you want to go through the server use -R if you are trying to send something out to the internet from your computer us [05:00] e -L [05:00] narothepharoh, where, have a link? [05:00] i installed something from an extracted package from sourceforge (using "make install"), how do i uninstall it? [05:00] timboy: somewhat complicated, but it might help a little [05:00] make uninstall [05:01] oh [05:01] lol [05:01] j0hn_: make uninstall [05:01] thanks [05:01] j0hn__: sudo make uninstall [05:01] Lol. RIGHT! As if that would work. Anybody have anyideas on the PCMCIA Rescource range? [05:02] <`blackmk4> what would cause extremely slow lan transfer speeds? [05:02] <`blackmk4> i can only get 400k/s from one to the other [05:02] Chris_Pikul, how about is there a way to disable pcmcia from the kernel line? [05:02] <`blackmk4> but both are able to pull 2mb/s off internet downloads [05:02] astro 76:I mean comcast is giving me the error here is the link but i dont know if you will see it because its my login page [05:02] http://www6.comcast.net/a/ [05:02] Chris_Pikul, check f2, f3 and f4 from the cd boot menu and look for something to disable that [05:02] Theres a way to add to the rescource range. [05:03] rubbs, ok i'll keep trying thanks a ton!!! [05:03] did the ubuntu dev team add any mmc improvements to the kernel? [05:03] I can execute shell, but I wouldn't know what to add. [05:04] say, I have the java runtime environment installed via synaptic, but firefox isn't wanting to admit it [05:04] oh, uh, let me try restarting [05:04] jrib: this method of installing flash failed [05:05] jrib: basing on libflashplayer.so .mozilla/plugins/ firefox still complains it needs plugins [05:05] nope, still not seeing it. where do I go to enable it or what's needing to be done? [05:05] * LimCore bitchslaps adobe devels [05:05] timboy: no problem. I found some of the websites I used too : http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2001/02/23/wep.html and http://realprogrammers.com/hack/SSH/tunneling.html [05:05] LimCore: What version are you using? [05:05] Gutsy? [05:05] narothepharoh, I can login too actually, seems to be working [05:06] Cpudan80: 7.10 on amd64 [05:06] timboy: there were a few others... but these were the most helpful to me. [05:06] LimCore: Flash is always iffy on x86_64 [05:06] Oh by the way PCMCIA shouldn't matter cause I'm not using a laptop. [05:06] okay, can somebody help me out with grub? i can only boot via the rescue cd, i've tried lots of combinations for root() [05:06] LimCore: Did you install restricted extras ? [05:06] LimCore: yeah, because you need to use nspluginwrapper on amd64. You should use 32bit ubuntu if you do not have a good reason to use 64bit [05:06] but i either get "cannot mount selected partition" or "partition does not exist" [05:06] !flash64 > limcore (read the private message from ubotu) [05:06] jrlb: Wrong [05:07] You SHOULD use x86_64 [05:07] Flash works fine in Gutsy -- didn't work right in Fiesty [05:07] Cpudan80: you can tell me why you believe so in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:07] jrib: I tried following steps there, and it also failed [05:07] Cpudan80: yes I have [05:07] LimCore: you need to be more specific since that wiki has more than one way to install flash [05:08] jrib: nswrapper and installed all "flash"+"adobe" packages from synaptic, and still firefox asks me to install missing plugins, I click to install them, I choose real flash (adobe), and click OK, then firefox says it is already installed. repeated several times with closing all firefoxes in between [05:08] LimCore: How about flashplugin-nonfree ? [05:09] LimCore: did you run the nspluginwrapper commands? [05:09] jrib: of course not [05:09] do I look like a mind reader? [05:09] jrib: I really don't think that is required on Gutst [05:09] Gutsy [05:10] It was definitely required in Feisty... [05:10] LimCore: you don't have to be sarcastic, especially since the wiki page tells you to run them [05:10] * LimCore ohyeahthatisuserfriendly [05:10] LimCore: please be courteous [05:10] Cpudan80: atm it is because flashplugin-nonfree is broken [05:10] * LimCore runs the magic command [05:10] Why does ubuntu insist on pushing 64 bit firefox?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:12] thanks [05:12] jrib: cu [05:13] balzac: just follow the steps, should work ok -- it's not hard to setup [05:13] okay, trying install again, with all drives unplugged, and boot drive plugged into SATA1 [05:13] if that doesn't work i'm giving up [05:13] Is Ubuntu 7.04 the latest? [05:13] I've already got all of that installed, I'm just trying to figure out how it's configured so I can use it. [05:14] I haven't used Linux in a while [05:14] I have just installed ubuntu, during bootup after the loading bar gets past 100%, my screen shuts off like the system is going into standby [05:14] MrObvious, no.. Ubuntu 7.10 is the lastest [05:14] Also, I don't see phpmyadmin anywhere... [05:14] anyone know how to fix this? [05:14] <_MattB> what tool do you use to create a software raid5 array that can grow later by adding disks? [05:14] _MattB mdadm [05:14] Okay, so can I update or do I have to format? [05:14] I'll do some reading, but it's not a very user-friendly installation for apache beginners [05:15] what is the irc command to leave a server but not the client? [05:15] balzac: You have to add phpmyadmin seperate [05:15] balzac apt-get install phpmyadmin [05:15] balzac: Real men execute the SQL from the terminal [05:15] I think I already did that through synaptic [05:15] heatmzzr: It might be /disconnecct [05:16] *disconnect [05:16] or you can do uh [05:16] <_MattB> thx [05:16] apt-get install xampp [05:16] balzac: It installs to http://localhost/phpmyadmin I think [05:16] if you want all of that stuff already installed [05:16] thanks Mr [05:16] might be phpMyAdmin [05:16] YW> [05:16] not that i'd use xampp. [05:16] heatmzzr generally close the window that's connected to that server /close [05:17] intelikey: I win. lol. [05:17] hello is this where I can ask a ubuntu question [05:17] no [05:17] theremper: yes [05:17] MrObvious was there a competition ? [05:17] * tritium scolds esoterik [05:17] theremper: Yes......

[05:18] MrObvious then you win, i don't compete [05:18] balzac you're only going to be updating the various components when xampp makes a new release. [05:18] balzac rather than being able to do them individually [05:18] I think that most people are going for Apache, PHP, MySQL and they want phpmyadmin too [05:18] what is the command to mount a drive? [05:18] Can anyone help with: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47657/ ? [05:18] intelikey: I'm just kidding. :) [05:18] balzac so apt-get install apache php mysql phpmyadmin === DiCha_cHa-Cha_ is now known as DiCha_cHa-Cha [05:18] cool ok I installed a new graphics card and was able to setup the driver but the login screens resolution is not right what can I do [05:19] how small can I get an ubuntu installati tno be? (I want to install it on a hd that has only 250MB) [05:19] makuseru mount /dev/ [05:19] is there any software that makes it easy to sync up settings between a laptop and desktop? [05:19] earlmred, that's too much responsibility for me to keep up with, plus piecemeal updates will break your applications [05:19] intelikey: thanks [05:19] I have just installed ubuntu, during bootup after the loading bar gets past 100%, my screen shuts off like the system is going into standby [05:19] is 32 linux for amd64 fucked up? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47657/ [05:19] theremper: Rebuild your xorg.conf file [05:19] anyone know how to fix this? [05:19] balzac uh, if you write crappy code, then yes. [05:19] LimCore: no [05:19] makuseru depending on the fs type you may want to man mount for options [05:19] hmm how do I do that [05:19] Nvrnight: perhaps try some forum, or file a bug? [05:19] balzac and you can't keep up with run apt-get update; apt-get upgrade nightly? [05:19] scguy318: then wtf is that [05:20] theremper: Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look at the info at the top [05:20] balzac run a script to do it :) [05:20] Should say something about it being a temp one, and to run some command [05:20] !ohmy @ LimCore [05:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy @ limcore - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:20] !ohmy [05:20] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[05:20] peepsalot it the pipe symbol not the at sign [05:20] it said permission denied [05:20] LimCore: that's probably a reason why aptitude suggested the action [05:20] scguy318: why / how to fix it [05:20] !language | peepsalot [05:20] peepsalot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[05:21] Cpudan80 ok now what do I do [05:21] alright, last try on ubuntu for the night [05:21] sigh. [05:22] esoterik, I hope so [05:22] unplugged my 4 other drives that were going to be the raid array, put the boot drive on sata 1 [05:22] theremper: Does it say "This is an emergency configuration file, run .... to update? " [05:22] balzac: it would have popped up a blue screen and had you select your apache version to configure automatically [05:22] Should say it in a comment (#) block near the top [05:22] E325: ATTENTION [05:22] Found a swap file by the name "/etc/X11/.xorg.conf.swp" [05:22] owned by: root dated: Sat Nov 10 20:13:02 2007 [05:22] file name: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:22] modified: YES [05:22] user name: root host name: theremper-desktop [05:22] process ID: 6628 [05:22] While opening file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" [05:22] dated: Sat Dec 8 13:28:05 2007 [05:22] NEWER than swap file!

I accidently renamed my entire mp3 folder f***ed up characters and now I cant delete them because it says it cant read the info... doing an ls on the directory looks like ascii art... thats how bad i screwed the pooch. How do i delete these files? rm -f * doesn't work, rm * doesn't work either [05:24] j2daosh: why not rename each of the files back to something useful? [05:24] j2daosh: Can you just remove the whole directory? [05:24] nope, won't let me remove the directory [05:24] cant rename them because it cant open them [05:25] j2daosh: what can't open them? [05:25] hi, anyone help me? [05:25] anything [05:25] j2daosh: rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty [05:25] windows/linux, nothing [05:25] j2daosh: not likely anything [05:25] j2daosh put the name in quotes. [05:25] ok ill try that dan [05:25] tritium: Can you unquiet theremper ?

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) [05:26] ok now I am lost [05:26] theremper: why? [05:26] Here's another thing I'm confused by - the "sites-available" and "sites-enabled" directories [05:26] when i tried to connect to remove server using gftp, "Error: Could not read from socket: Connection reset by peer " comes. kindly suggest me [05:26] root@Dark_Tower ~ recent ~ 11:20 PM$ rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty [05:26] balzac sites-available is the config for all of your sites. [05:26] opps [05:26] ok I opened the config file now what do I do [05:26] ok [05:26] balzac making a symlink to one of those sites from sites-enabled, enables the site. [05:27] how to install opera on ubuntu amd64 [05:27] root@Dark_Tower ~ recent ~ 11:20 PM$ rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty [05:27] rmdir: missing operand [05:27] Try `rmdir --help' for more information. [05:27] thats what it gives me dan [05:27] j2daosh you need the name of the directory there too. [05:27] so I need to dupe that file and replace all the parameters for a new directory ? [05:27] oh crap [05:27] j2daosh: You gotta give it the name of the directory [05:27] lol [05:27] <_MattB> how can i setup an iSCSI target on ubutu desktop? [05:27] j2daosh: what is the name of the directory?

[05:28] j2daosh: or - do ps -ax | grep /music/recent/ and kill the process holding that open [05:28] i still need to sudo if im root? [05:28] j2daosh rm -f /music/recent/ [05:28] ps -ax|grep /music/recent [05:28] j2daosh: no [05:29] j2daosh: No, running as root is dangerous [05:29] !root [05:29] 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] oops, wrong window [05:30] ok how do I reconfigre xorg [05:30] theremper: It tells you at the top of the file [05:30] j2daosh device is busy either there is something still accessing it. or... something is still accessing it... [05:31] the sudo thing [05:31] nothing is accessing that directory though [05:31] theremper: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:31] j2daosh ps -ax | grep music [05:31] earlmred no dash there [05:31] earlmred probably still works but it gripes about it. [05:32] intelikey it'll work either way. [05:32] root@Dark_Tower ~ recent ~ 11:26 PM$ ps ax|grep music [05:32] Anyone might have an idea as to why ubuntu is sending the machine into a blackscreen of death after the initial loading screen after selecting install? [05:32] 25835 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep music [05:32] root@Dark_Tower ~ recent ~ 11:26 PM$ [05:32] j2daosh not for much longer tho. [05:32] ram issue? hdd? bad cd? [05:32] j2daosh are you trying to remove the ~ recent ~ directory? [05:32] yep [05:32] j2daosh you know, the directory that you're INSIDE of?

[05:54] some_idiot or debian etch server [05:54] Drakaen: no [05:54] RYsh, what version of Ubuntu are you using [05:54] Drakaen: What wireless adapter do you have? [05:54] Kr0ntab, gutsy [05:55] RYsh, in Gutsy by default, you use NetworkManger... are you using server or desktop? [05:55] Kr0ntab, and when I do dhclient - it receives [05:55] greetings all, is there any windowed wifi statistics program? [05:55] MrObvious: Trendnet TEW-424UB [05:55] Kr0ntab, desktop, but I manage it via ssh [05:56] Kr0ntab, it's not convenient for me to use any gui tool to confic networking [05:56] i cant seem to get the driver instaklled and ndiswrapper isnt on my distro [05:56] *config [05:56] RYsh, thats fine... but if you are using NteworkManager.. you do not need to modify anything in /etc/network/interfaces.... [05:56] thats fine... [05:56] Drakaen: ndiswrapper is in Ubuntu [05:56] Drakaen: do you have your universe repo enabled? [05:56] Kr0ntab, what is NetworkManager? Is it gui tool? [05:57] i dont know... [05:57] Drakaen: Can you hook the device up via an ethernet cable temporarily? [05:57] Drakaen: System -> Admin -> Software Sources and see [05:57] not at the location here... [05:57] Drakaen: explain [05:58] yes... RYsh, can you paste the contents of /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [05:58] in pastebin please [05:58] i have network manager, for windows... shows me what devices are on my network,,, router, compers, cableboxes, etc... ip addresses macs [05:58] scguy318: I think he was answering my question. [05:58] im running vista here now.... my system is to far from the wireless router to connect via ethernet cable [05:58] MrObvious: what was it? I saw that Drakaen was asking about ndiswrapper and a driver [05:58] Shumbudy halpz! Trying to install something not found in synaptic (trying to get my wacom tablet to work), I can configure everything fine (sudo ./configure) but when I attempt command: make I get this: ----> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47663/ [05:58] scguy318: I asked if he could hook up an ethernet cable. [05:58] Drakaen: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto for offline install [05:59] RYsh, and also /etc/network/interfaces in pastebin... [05:59] MrObvious: ah [05:59] Thoughts, anybody? [05:59] Kr0ntab, second.. [05:59] Drakaen: After doing the whole NDiswrapper offline thing, do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2077497 [05:59] k... [06:00] Hi all, can I upgrade directly from 6.06 to 7.10 [06:00] mnemonica: What are you trying to compile? [06:00] pdroy: No, 6.06 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 [06:00] pdroy: And that may not work 100% [06:00] MrObvious, expresskeys [06:00] Kr0ntab, http://cut.and.paste.org/index.php?id=1704 [06:00] Drakaen: personally I would just stick with the wiki guide [06:01] pdroy, also 6.06 to 8.04 will be a supported upgrade path [06:01] astro76, is that for sure? [06:01] mnemonica looks like you need to install xserver-xorg-dev maybe that the name ? [06:01] i never heard one way or another if it was actually going to happen, i heard they were going to try to or something [06:01] MasterShrek, that's what I'm told, it makes sense to need to support upgrade from LTS to LTS [06:02] i agree astro76 [06:02] thanks MrObvious and astro76 [06:02] mnemonica: Did you follow this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2418144&postcount=4 [06:02] astro76: When in is 8.04 due out? [06:02] pdroy: YW. [06:02] Cpudan80: April 08 [06:02] Cpudan80: I'd guess April. [06:02] also... is there a way to run windows within ubuntu if there is a copy of widows on the HD? [06:02] Drakaen: sure, a VM product like VMware or Virtualbox [06:02] Drakaen: You can VM it, but that's about it [06:02] Drakaen: qEMU, but you'll have to install to another location. [06:02] intelikey: Yeah, just looked that up in synaptic... Not installed... installing. I'll let everyone know how it goes. [06:02] Drakaen, vmware or virtual box can sort of do it.. but it may not be a good idea [06:02] !qemu [06:02] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [06:03] RYsh, yer configs look good...

[06:03] Dr_willis_: no, that's wrong [06:03] MrObvious: Thanks anywho. :) [06:03] mnemonica: YW. [06:04] You can rip an OEM license off the computer and stick it in a VM on the same physical box [06:04] Cpudan80, which part? Ive had xp get very confused when doing chang4es like that. [06:04] I have inherited a Hitachi HDD, but it's locked and I don't know what kind of lock. Any ideas about how to brute-force a HDD lock so that I can format it and use it? [06:04] what are oplocking in samba are for? [06:04] OEM licenses are the only one with that problem, retail licenses can be freely transferred [06:04] RYsh, is yer dhcp server a "known good"? I mean other workstations obtaining gateways? [06:04] Kr0ntab, I have 4 ubuntas, and problems are with one of them ;-/ [06:04] Cpudan80, it hasent worked for me that way... well its had to reactivate.. and so forth.. so it was a hassle. [06:04] ah ok.. [06:04] Greetings everyone [06:05] who here uses qemu ? [06:05] intelikey: Rawr... Didn't work.. I'm getting the previous postbin'd error when I attempt to ./configure, by the way. [06:05] of course if ya reboot back to the actual machine.. it then wants to redo the stuff.. so i dont bother any more. [06:05] Dr_willis_: if you do it a lot it might complain, but removing windows then placing it in a VM within distro X will work [06:05] I'm trying to mount my cdrom but gentoo says that "cdrom0" does not exist [06:05] 10.11.0.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.11.0.199 [06:05] 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link metric 1000 [06:05] Kr0ntab, here's what it receives after reboot [06:05] why wont it mount?

[06:05] mnemonica hmmm let me revisit the postbin [06:05] RYsh, very weird... pastebin please [06:06] Boohbah: xlib-dev maybe [06:06] MrObvious: Well yeah, but then you lose your ability to look up local things by DNS name [06:06] nick completion failure [06:06] Unless you leave the local DNS in there [06:06] Cpudan80: True. [06:06] the ubuntu forum deal for the trendnet has a dead link to the svn distro [06:06] oh that was neat. [06:06] Kr0ntab, pastebin what? [06:06] Cpudan80: If you use your ISP DNS (like I do) then it's a good idea. [06:06] did sudo killall gdm from inside of X, and now it won't let me get to a vtty [06:06] oh thought you were going to paste some output [06:06] wtf. [06:06] MrObvious: sure [06:07] mnemonica oh xlib-dev i think sorry i was hasty on the first reading, however i do not promise that that's the package you need... heh [06:07] Cpudan80: I have AT&T and their DNS has been crapping out lately. I had to do it so it would browse faster. [06:07] Kr0ntab, ok. [06:07] MrObvious: who runs that DNS server? [06:07] Google? [06:08] hi, i recently switched to gnome from kde and i'm wanting to remove the text from icons on the toolbars. [06:08] And wouldn't it depend on network distance to those DNS servers, with regard to speed? [06:08] Cpudan80: Verizon. [06:08] oh [06:08] Cpudan80: It's a very well run set of DNS servers. [06:08] mnemonica it should be something with a -dev ending and have xlib in it's name [06:08] i've searched and found that i need the menus and toolbars section of preferences but I don't have that [06:08] in my prefs section [06:08] There was one of them that was run by google [06:08] Verizon... #3 on the list of people wanting to promote warrantless wiretapping and anti-net-neutrality.

[06:09] the end of net netruality, will be the end of the net... [06:10] RYsh, yeah if 3 other machines on the network are getting default gateways on the same subnet, and this machine is not... thats pretty atypical. you could try performing a tcpdump on the card as you bring it up to see if the packet payload details of your dhcp exchange... [06:10] sunogbaga: that's what I thought. I don't have that option in my system>prefs [06:10] Kr0ntab, ok, I will. I need to go there for doing it.. [06:10] i have main menu and mouse - that's it for prefs starting with "m" [06:11] RYsh, do you have more than one dhcp daemon running? [06:11] ps -ef | grep dh [06:11] varaonaid: gnome-ui-properties on terminal [06:11] sunogbaga: thanks, i'll try that [06:11] I've been searching the internet for a fix for my problem and only found one post where a guy had the same problem as me but no one ever replied [06:12] So I know exactly how to install Ubuntu onto a partition [06:12] RYsh, yeah I'd hate for you to reboot... and then not be able to remote control it because of def gw issues... :-P [06:12] Has anyone gotten 1280x800 console to work at ALL? I'm using intel chip on Dell e1505n new laptops [06:12] The only problem is partitioning [06:12] is it *impossible* for all time? [06:12] sunogbaga: it said "command not found" [06:12] Anybody know any free parition programs that don't require removable media? [06:12] do I need to install it? [06:12] Patition, I mean.

[06:13] Weng: what are you options? I've tried everything in the book; I'm on linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic [06:13] There are a couple of commercial programs that do it within the windows interface [06:13] Izidune, i tend to use gparted for my needs from various gparted live cds [06:13] varaonaid: it should have come with ubuntu-desktop install [06:13] intelikey: Sorry... got away from myself for a moment... looking up int synaptic... [06:13] honk: Whatever it came out of the box with. [06:13] they just work better from a live cd. :) [06:14] Nvrnight that's a vidio driver problem i believe. you might try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 after it does that and then turn the monitor off/on manually to confirm [06:14] could someone help me out with an error im getting after i install ubuntu on my ps3? [06:14] varaonaid: well since it's not there you might need to install it [06:14] Weng: well that's lucky for you; mine didn't :) [06:14] honk_: It's also done a 7.10 liveCD fine, which probably means you've got some wack driver issues :( [06:14] RYsh, I would just make sure you don't have multiple dhcdbd and dhclient processes, which can conflict and "get in the way" of eachother... but other than that... it will be difficult to do frther troubleshooting without you being able totake down interfaces... [06:14] sunogbaga: what package? I searched for gnome-ui-properties but there wasn't one [06:14] what are u doing installing ubuntu on a PS3? [06:14] Well [06:14] The problem is that my CD drive doesn't burn [06:14] Weng: I should try booting with the gutsy livecd to double check; I'm pretty sure it didn't work then though... [06:14] cause i like ubuntu [06:14] how can it run the games? [06:15] Weng: what's your graphics chip? [06:15] RYsh, I must jet... but feel free to drop me a line... email in direct msg [06:15] ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing and I turn it off and on and still doesn't do anything [06:15] Izidune, well the various parted tools only want to work on unmounted disks/filesystems.. so booting linux then changing its partition layout may be a bit tricky [06:15] Psuedo-proprietary version of the GeForce 4 MX. [06:15] anyone know any good program to see cpu temp/fan speed/voltages... === RYsh is now known as [RUsh] [06:16] varaonaid: try sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center [06:16] Well [06:16] Looks like I get this: [06:16] I'm out of ideas then [06:16] Bah [06:16] [ 251.348000] intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( LVDS port ).

[06:17] Nvrnight if it's paniced/locked up thight then that key combo will do nothing.

[06:25] eek_teh_cat, yes [06:25] Ubuntu system response is great ... SLED ..boot up is bit slow.. but good functionality.. the gnome menu is what I love... hardware fully supported.. so now what to do ? [06:25] I am actuallly rather curious about the thinking of the design of this OS. Alot of things strike me as "YES, FINALLY!" and other things strike me as "Why oh why???" [06:25] lim: i have been having trouble since moving to 64 bit with stuf flike that, gnash is horrible buggy [06:25] LimCore_, have you tried nspluginwrapper --help to see what ways to use it? [06:26] hey guys, is there an ubuntu gaming channel? [06:26] guess not, anyone know any good games for ubuntu? [06:27] I just stick to windows when I want to game [06:27] long: i don't any, i still keep a version of windows for gaming [06:27] MasterShrek: the output is: 00:50.0 Nwtwork controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g wireless lan controller [06:27] You can run alot of windows games with WINE.. too bad I haven;t figured it all out yet. [06:27] * intelikey doesn't know any good windows games [06:27] when it comes to games I just want it to work [06:27] same [06:27] I have enough problems on windows machines with games [06:27] sunogbaga: i also am missing the advanced desktop properties (in system>prefs) for custom settings for compiz. i have no control over compiz [06:28] http://appdb.winehq.org/ [06:28] Longfellow: Armagetron will consume copious amounts of time. [06:28] Tendervittles, have you enabled the driver in System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager? that should be all that's necessary [06:28] me either vara [06:28] i'm really hoping virtualization will soon work well with graphics accelerators [06:28] Tendervittles, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv download that file, then let me know [06:28] sunogbaga: didn't know if it was related. [06:28] Tendervittles, follow astro76 's advice first [06:28] there is always wine and cedega if you really want to pursue linux gaming [06:28] is it possible to partition some of my HDD for windows, i already have Ubuntu installed taking it all, can i break some spear HDD space into a new partition for XP? [06:28] Tendervittles, it may be easier [06:28] Tendervittles: do you have system>prefs>menu and toolbars? [06:28] Tendervittles, MasterShrek, I have the bcm4306 also, should just work [06:29] i have a Linksys Card though [06:29] rico boot a live cd (gparted CD maybe) and try it. [06:29] rico: Boot from a gparted liveCD, resize your Ubuntu partition, install Windows, and then repair Grub. [06:29] I heard news that ati was going to (or has??) fully support linux with their drivers. (I guess to keep up with nvidia) [06:29] Tendervittles, it has a broadcom 4306 [06:29] chipset [06:29] so not all games run on ubuntu? [06:29] rico, no, but alot will using wine [06:29] intelikey: Nope, still didn't work. [06:29] !wine | rico [06:29] rico: 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. [06:29] No, not all games run on ubuntu. [06:30] rico be advised that windows is very much a first primarry partition hog. [06:30] rico: Windows install WILL smash Grub, so you will have to fix it, unfortunately. [06:30] sveiki [06:30] ah k, so easier to just format and start from scratch? [06:30] Rico: Although you can get alot to run using WINE. And you can find a bunch of free game sunder Applications --> Add / Remove [06:30] MasterShrek: it seems nspluginwrapper comes installed by default, so unless i need to tweak something, i don't know if adobe's flash player will work with 64bit ubuntu [06:30] hi [06:30] install Windows, then install Ubuntu? [06:30] i have this error [06:30] rico: Really, yes. Starting from scratch is the best idea. And Windows should always be the first OS you install. [06:31] <-- INstalled Windows, then Ubuntu. Ran smoothly [06:31] User sasha may run the following commands on this host: [06:31] (ALL) ALL [06:31] (ALL) ALL [06:31] gay MS [06:31] what i must do [06:31] rico if you want the path of least resistance. resize your install make a new partition for linux migrate to that partition and install windows on the old "first" partition. imo that's the easiest. [06:31] (Followed by your Unixes, with OSX at the end, if you're one of the crazy people like me that simply must have a Grub menu 10 miles long) [06:31] eek_teh_cat, youll have to tweak something, you have to find where the flashplayer plugin was installed to, and run: nspluginswrapper -i on it [06:31] ah [06:31] lol [06:32] can some one help [06:32] me [06:32] i was type [06:32] sudo -l [06:32] so how do i break some of the spare HDD into a new partition? [06:32] and password [06:32] !enter | Guza [06:32] Guza: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:32] MasterShrek: thanks i'll try that out immediately [06:32] astro: when i try to enable it under restricted drivers it says no software source, same for my graphics card [06:32] put the ubuntu cd in or is it a program i need to DL? [06:32] is it safe to use synaptic to remove gnome-control-center then reinstall or will it bork my system? it seems to be broken [06:32] ok [06:32] I personally would like a friendly, cross platform / cross-computer data storage system. A data layer that would make what computer I am on and what OS I am using more irrelevant. [06:33] 这里好玩 [06:33] varaonaid, well, reinstalling things usually doesn't fix anything anyway (that's a windows kludge) [06:33] i think ill just start from scratch, i havent got anything on this that aint irriplaceable.... yet :P [06:33] so can someone help me with sudo privilages? i can enter as root in my system [06:33] astro76: i [06:33] eek_teh_cat, the file you are looking for is: libflashplayer.so [06:33] Tendervittles, hmm? are you unable to install software through synaptic also? what is the error exactly? [06:33] I've got a question. I'm running ubuntu server and have added a usb drive. How would I mount this drive so I can use it for backup? [06:34] god i hate windows atm [06:34] 'm missing a package that should have been in that but I don't have it [06:34] 我不懂英语，谁懂中文啊 [06:34] i have installed ndiswrapper through synaptic [06:34] Alright. So. I have 4 displays up now. Is there anyway to make the GDM *NOT* stretch out across all of them? Or am I going to have to make my own custom GDM? [06:34] i think [06:34] LimCore_, you want to run nspluginwrapper -i libflashplayer.so on the flashplayer plugin file, im not sure exactly where its located but eek_teh_cat is looking for it too, so you two help eachother :) [06:34] so Wine will run SOME games but not all? [06:34] hmm [06:34] * MasterShrek isnt using ubuntu, otherwise id help you two find it [06:34] Anyone willing to help mount a usb drive? [06:34] rico: yes some but not all [06:34] on ubuntu servr [06:35] server* [06:35] intelikey: I got it to the file: /etc/X11/xorg.com, what do I do now that this screen is up [06:35] matkix: is your usb drive ntfs formatted? [06:35] so any idea why VMplayer wont work? [06:35] rico: If it's DirectX-only, it's safe to assume it won't work. If it's OpenGL, it's usually safe to assume it will work to at least some extent. [06:35] and ty btw, never made it this far without the screen going off [06:35] matkix: install ntfs-3g [06:35] chronosx: not sure, I just picked her up at officemax. [06:35] coz i initially wanted to run a virtual machine, got the machine ready but need VM player to well, play it :P lol [06:35] what's that little * mean [06:35] rico, i think virtualbox will play it too, and its probably easier to install [06:36] worth a try [06:36] is ti free? [06:36] it* [06:36] yes, its in the repos [06:36] !info virtualbox [06:36] chronosx: how would i run the package manager from shell to install ntfs-3g? [06:36] Package virtualbox does not exist in gutsy [06:36] lies! [06:36] !virualizers [06:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about virualizers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:36] !vm [06:36] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [06:37] VMWare under Linux is a magical, magical thing. Getting it installed is almost like a Linux IQ test. [06:37] Hey guys, im trying to install steam with Wine and when I open the install file with wine i get nothing [06:37] matkix: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [06:37] Astro: the exact output is: The Software Source for the package: bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled. [06:37] installing flash form mozilla isn't putting a libflashplayer.so anywhere, but i believe the packagemanager will, and from that we should be able to nspluginwrapper it. [06:37] ive found its install [06:37] ok =P [06:37] chronosx: now how might I go about the mounting of this drive? [06:37] # linux [06:37] join/# linux [06:38] matkix: it is already automatic on ubuntu [06:38] So what would it be named? / how can I access it? [06:38] matkix, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxxx /mount/point [06:38] yay, this 1 is INSTALLING :D lol [06:38] matkix, sudo fdisk -l will give you the /dev/xxxx name, and just mount it whereever you want, making sure there is a directory there [06:38] unlike VM player :P [06:38] it will appear as hard disk icon on the desktop, the name is based on the volume name of the drive [06:39] chronosx, hes running server [06:39] i am having a problem getting my a atheros wireless card to work with ubuntu can anyone help me ????? [06:39] chronosx: no desktop / server [06:39] MasterShrek: i thought the only difference with ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server is lamp stack :-) [06:39] Can anyone help me get on my wireless network with ubuntu? i have a WMP54G from Linksys and it works correctly in XP on the same machine [06:40] <`slushpuppy\> Hi, I have a problem with scroll lag in ubuntu [06:40] nope, server has no gui by default [06:40] bosco: You'll need to install madwifi for an Atheros board. [06:40] haven't yet tried lamp, i like postgresql better :D [06:40] chronosx: I got no option for a gui. Not that I need one. This is a nagios / backup box! [06:40] :) [06:40] Got an error... any help here? [06:41] Weng, did that and still ran into problems dont know what it is can you help me further [06:41] Tendervittles, system > admin > software sources and enable universe and multiverse then try that process you were doing before [06:41] well it seems to have installed, so where is it hiding? [06:41] Hi, I'm an artist and using Ubuntu, got my tablet working, however...whenever there's ANYTHING on the clipboard, whenever I tip-down it tries to paste the contents of the clipboard, leading to annoying errors in gimp, and problems with programs. [06:41] Looking for a software to reduce the size of my digitcal camera pictures. I have to put them in an OO document. [06:41] Filled-void, imagemagick [06:41] So I found the drive to be /dev/sdb1, now if I wanted to mount that as backup.... I would need to first make a directory nameb backup and then run the command to mount it there? What might that command look like.... and how can I get this to mount to this on every boot? [06:41] matkix: if it doesn't automount on /media folder, try: sudo mkdir /media/your_preferred_volume_name_here. then sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb /media/your_preferred_volume_name_here [06:41] marupa, is Emulate3Buttons enabled in your xorg.conf? [06:41] marupa, Thanks will check that out [06:41] Any help on a weird error? [06:42] MasterShrek, Yes [06:42] matkix, first, yes make sure there is a folder where you plan to mount it [06:42] !tablet [06:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about tablet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:42] marupa, disable it [06:42] bosco: Does ifconfig list an ath0 and/or a wifi0? [06:42] RedHeron you'll have to post it before you will get any help on it. [06:42] Master: they were already checked [06:42] The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support [06:42] MasterShrek, Won't that disable my scrolling? [06:42] matkix, next, you can mount it by: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /backup (it was ntfs right?) [06:43] marupa, i dont think so [06:43] MasterShrek, Mkay, I'll try it. [06:43] marupa, no promises though :P [06:43] RedHeron ah nice. you build that kernel or is it stock ? [06:43] Stock [06:43] Weng, no it does not just "eth0" which is my ethernet and "lo" which is me [06:43] MasterShrek: yeah yeah :) office max special, need a 500 gig backup drive. [06:43] hmm [06:43] Gutsy on AMD64 w/ nVidia chipset [06:43] so i installed the official nvidia drivers [06:43] everything was working [06:43] i rebooted [06:43] and X is in low-graphics mode. [06:43] RedHeron you may need to fetch another one or roll your own. [06:44] I want my automount demon to NOT automatically remove devices when the external hard drives spin down, is there a way? [06:44] How? [06:44] matkix, also, you can put this line at the end of your /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /backup ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [06:44] MasterShrek: Ooops, its fat32.... what do you think I should do? [06:44] intelikey: Do you mean recompile my own? [06:44] RedHeron what is burping out that error message anyway ? [06:44] matkix, use vfat instead of ntfs-3g [06:44] RedHeron yes. [06:44] bosco: lsmod | grep ath_hal [06:44] lim: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz contains libflashplayer.so [06:44] intelikey: hdparm is, because I'm trying to unlock/erase a HDD and I don't know WTF I'm doing. [06:45] eek_teh_cat, use the entire nick, so they notice you :) [06:45] MasterShrek: So then just add this to the /etc/fstab? [06:45] Can anyone help me connect to my wireless network? i am using: Ubuntu 7.10 and a WMP54g Linksys wireless NIC [06:45] <`slushpuppy\> Hi, I have a problem with ubuntu, ever since i switched computers and did: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -xserver-xorg, scrolling became very very slow [06:45] hmm [06:45] matkix, yes, that last one i sent you, except use vfat instead of ntfs-3g obviously [06:45] "failed to initialize the nvidia kernel module" [06:45] oh, heh k [06:45] Weng, NO OUTPUT [06:45] RedHeron oh. ok. trying to totally blank a disk ? [06:45] matkix: after you do the instruction gave by MasterShrek, then type: sudo mount -a [06:45] intelikey, yes. [06:46] intelikey: it got given to me and I got told they forgot the password so I'd have to "figure it out" to use it. [06:46] Is there an app for creating flash files in Linux? [06:46] where can I get a wine tutorial for a total wine NOOB? [06:46] !wine | TheOnlyMerlin [06:46] TheOnlyMerlin: 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. [06:46] MasterShrek, Didn't work. [06:47] RedHeron have you tried just using cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda where hda assumes first ide primary master [06:47] MasterShrek: Thanks! Now I just want to know what you think would be better for large web to server file transfers? FTP, or NFS? [06:47] marupa, umm, sorry, i dont know gnome very well, there should be something around there, maybe in your mouse settings to disable middle clikc to paste things, im pretty sure thats whats happening [06:47] RedHeron as root of course [06:47] weird, did init 1, then init 2, works fine. [06:47] sigh. [06:47] intelikey: subbed /dev/hdb and just trying it now. [06:47] meng [06:48] MasterShrek: nspluginwrapper says the plugin is not a valid NPAPI plugin [06:48] matkix, are you transferring outside of your subnet? [06:48] bosco: dmesg | less and look around for any mention of ath_hal [06:48] i am having a problem getting my a atheros wireless card to work with ubuntu can anyone help me ????? [06:48] RedHeron can't use sudo cat because the shell has to be owned by root for root to redirrect the output. just incase you didn't know that. [06:48] Weng, [06:48] srry [06:48] eek_teh_cat, hmm, thats how i did it, let me check on something for you really quick... [06:48] MasterShrek: Yup, its from my colo in atlanta to my network at home. [06:48] MasterShrek: sure, thank you [06:48] intelikey: I do most hardware-level things as root because it won't allow it otherwise. [06:48] matkix, i would use ftp [06:49] RedHeron assuming that works, you should be able to simply partition/format the thing. [06:49] intelikey: that would rock! (it's still running) [06:49] bosco: google about ndiswrapper [06:49] i cannot get ndiswrapper to work [06:49] RedHeron it will take a while to write that many goose eggs [06:49] eek_teh_cat, try this: nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [06:49] apt-get upgrade shows a new xen-image-2.6.19-4-server package. How do I figure out what changed before I install it? [06:50] MasterShrek: The best way to configure ftp in Ubuntu server is? [06:50] MasterShrek Ok [06:50] intelikey: I'll check back in about 6 hours... ;-) === matthijs is now known as Ilovejump [06:50] chronosx: ndiswrapper sucks pretty hard, and the entire point of an Atheros card is prettymuch to avoid having to use it :P [06:50] :) [06:50] matkix, proftpd is what ive used [06:50] !ftp [06:50] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [06:50] !ftpd [06:50] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:51] Meng Nothing poped up [06:51] Weng: yeah, i knew, if there's no other option, just use it :-) [06:51] still the same thing [06:51] MasterShrek: What one comes pre-installed on ubuntu server? [06:51] argh [06:51] Weng, nothing poped up [06:51] matkix, im not sure to be honest [06:51] MasterShrek: Hmm. so weird, i can't believe 64bit just can't emulate 32bit programs, or something like that [06:51] Weng, about athoros at leaste [06:51] Hello everyone, is it possible to install the server edition of Ubuntu off of a Live CD? [06:51] eek_teh_cat, try that command with sudo maybe, but i doubt thats going to work [06:52] AirstrikeIvanov, no [06:52] hey, i just installed something and i'm having some problems getting it to work. could somebody please help me? [06:53] MasterShrek: I actually think it's something stupid like me not typing it in correctly [06:53] bosco: Is this a PCMCIA board, or miniPCI? [06:53] j0hn__, What did you install? what kinda problem are you having with it? [06:53] what's the best gui admin for vsftp? btw, i'm using proftpd because of easier admin tool (gproftpd). is vsftpd really faster than proftpd? i haven't seen any much benchmarks pitting the two [06:53] MasterShrek: I just did something simililar with a non existent file and i get the same error [06:53] eek_teh_cat, try: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk linux32 lib32asound2 [06:53] eek_teh_cat, then try again [06:53] intelikey: what, no "dog" command? ;-) [06:53] Can anyone help me connect to my wireless network? Ubuntu 7.10 WMP54G Linksys wireless NIC [06:53] Weng, it is a acer laptop so i am usuming it is minipci via it being a laptop [06:54] System load average: 13.1 [06:54] System load average: 13.26 [06:54] bosco: You've tried using restricted-manager, right? (I can't talk you through that because I'm running a custom kernel and r-m is broken as a result) [06:54] 13.32 [06:54] eek_teh_cat, apparently its supposed to auto wrap the plugin though, i dont know why its not working... nspluginwrapper -l give you any output? [06:54] I have other computer with a ftp server on it . I don't have a router ,but I do have cat 5 cable to connect them both. What do I to ftp to the other box? [06:54] What is "load average" measuring? [06:55] MasterShrek: i'm sure it has something to do with the file not being there, i just checked, but instead informing me of invalid file location it just gives that useless error [06:55] Weng, can you talk me through doing that [06:55] How do I perform the WriteOut after I have edited the file, it says ^O for writeout but what exactly does that mean [06:55] tarelerulz, you will need a crossover cable if you are going straight from NIC to NIC [06:55] Weng, can you talk me through doing that [06:55] Tendervittles, that card is supported in the kernel, if you would have listened you would have it installed already, without messing around with ndiswrapper, which is a crude hack adn should be avoided if possible === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:55] When i set my resolution in Ubuntu to 1680x1050 everything is too big for the screen and wont all fit...that is what my monitor calls for, works fine in 1440 [06:55] eek_teh_cat, but the file is there isnt it, you just downloaded it right? [06:56] MasterShrek: listeed to what? [06:56] listened** [06:56] Tendervittles, using the restricted drivers manager to install the card [06:56] MasterShrek: it's on my desktop, but not in the usr dir [06:56] bosco: Unfortunately no :( I've never actually seen the thing [06:56] Mastershrek, yes i tried this and it would not work [06:56] mastershrek, and then i checked the boxes you said to check [06:56] eek_teh_cat, extract the files, and move them to /home/user/.mozilla/plugins [06:56] jb0nd38372: i'm trying to install cdemu. the website is http://cdemu.sf.net - but a new version forked from them which i downloaded here: http://kabelkaos.net/cdemu/cdemu-vhba/userspace-cdemu-2007-08-23.tar - i extracted that and all those inside of it. installed everything. now i try running cdemud and i get an error saying "failed to open control device /dev/vhba_ctl!" [06:56] MasterShrek: ok [06:56] Tendervittles, I believe you were having an issue with apt, you should paste that exact error and try to get that fixed [06:57] Anyone else have any ideas on how to get rid of the problem with my tablet that I'm having? [06:57] It doesn't seem to happen at all when I use a mouse, just my tablet. [06:57] Astro76 how do you tell which is which ? crossover cable or cat 5 ? I think I have done it with cat 5 cable before ,but that was with windows. I set this computers ip to static ,but I don't know ubuntu [06:57] i cannot paste, i am on another comp because i cannot get online with the ubuntu machine [06:57] Weng so what am i going to do [06:58] hi, what socket error means [06:58] Weng [06:58] tarelerulz, regular cat5 will have all 8 wires the same on each end [06:58] tarelerulz, unless one of them can auto-detect, if you did it before then it should be ok [06:58] jb0nd38372: vhba is one of the things to install with the package in the link above... i did the "sudo make install" and it worked. what else should i have done? [06:58] tarelerulz, crossover will have a few switched, i cant remember which ones exactly [06:58] jb0nd38372: do you think you'll be able to help me? [06:59] Master, do you have any other suggestions on getting the restricted drivers manager to work? [06:59] Can someone tell me how to save the change that I have made to the xorg.conf file using nano? [06:59] How do you add a user and set a home directory? [06:59] Tendervittles, that machine must be online to get that working, can you plug it in for like 10 minutes? [06:59] <\`slushpuppy`\> Hi, I have an issue with scrolling lag on ubuntu [07:00] Does anyone have 1280x800 console working with Intel 945GM (or more specifically, Dell's newer e1505n Ubuntu Laptop)? [07:00] What does "load average" measure? [07:00] Anyone? [07:00] Anyone at all? [07:00] i am having a problem getting my a atheros wireless card to work with ubuntu can anyone help me ????? [07:00] Mastershrek, no i cannot, not at this moment, but when i can plug it in what do i need to do? [07:00] RedHeron, load average explanation: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001 [07:00] it says cat 5e on it and it has 8 wires with the same collars on each end . Now I don't know what to do with Ubuntu's part ? any ideas [07:01] Tendervittles, youll need to go to the restricted drivers manager and enable your card, after that it should work just fine === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [07:01] anyone checked out linuxmint? [07:01] astro76: I can't open any new programs right now. [07:01] Master, does it get the driver online? [07:01] RedHeron, ok [07:01] astro76: load average 18.92 [07:02] Tendervittles, essentially, if you want to get technical, it already has the driver, it just needs the firmware off the internet [07:02] RedHeron, type top and see what process is using up the cpu [07:02] can somebody please help me? i just installed something and i'm having an issue getting it to work [07:02] !ask | j0hn__ [07:02] j0hn__: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [07:02] astro76: already know... blanking a HDD [07:02] Master, thank you, i will attempt this tomorrow [07:02] hi... what does it mean when i get this in terminal: :~$ sudo apt-get install x; sudo: must be setuid root [07:03] hey.. is rootkit is infecting linux ? i think some of the files in my samba not updating the timestamp while im saving the file...

[07:03] MasterShrek: this is just too frustrating right now, i'm going to work on it later, thanks for the help [07:03] np eek_teh_cat [07:03] Also, 1680x1050 does not work with my ubuntu, everything is too big for the monitor, can anyone help? [07:03] good luck [07:03] Lumpy^, that's a pretty crazy leap to make, your samba problem is probably not due to a rootkit [07:04] MasterShrek: yeah i am kinda the only user of this computer and i have created this account while installing Ubuntu [07:04] MasterShrek: http://rafb.net/p/FNHmQj18.html [07:04] rebrain, what's the output of: ls -l /usr/bin/sudo [07:04] <\`slushpuppy`\> Hi, I have an issue with scrolling lag on ubuntu [07:04] i also can not get the installer working, auto update finds the new updates but after i click UPDATE it does not make anything.

[08:30] hmmm [08:30] that obviously doesn't work [08:31] DoHi: find a windows disk, boot to cmd and type "fdisk /mbr" [08:31] tried that [08:31] didn't work [08:31] DoHi: start winxp recovery console and run fixmbr and fixboot [08:31] DoHi: use the windows cd,. choose rescue mode, type fixmbr [08:31] DoHi: boot with the windows cd into the recovery console and do 'fixmbr' [08:31] i would not fdisk the mbr [08:31] did that [08:31] as the bootloader will be removed [08:31] it didn't work [08:31] hmm [08:31] first what os (s) do you have installled [08:31] bulmer: at least RHEL has no tools for limiting user changes to OpenOffice, Thunderbird, Firefox. So I am looking for opinions and experienced admins. [08:31] that error is only supposed to come up if other partitions are mounted on that disk [08:31] I will try again if that's the only idea [08:31] but nothing is mounted [08:31] Spartan-X: fdisk /mbr replaces the mbr with windows bootloader [08:32] like fixmbr does [08:32] mavi-: sorry not much of a windows user :D [08:32] DoHi: if it didn't work complain to microsoft not here ;P [08:32] DoHi: that's the solution,. [08:32] DoHi you could boot with knoppix and use dd to null boot sector === Owner_ is now known as smmagic [08:32] no my issue is... complicated [08:32] DoHi: where'd you install GRUB? [08:33] i want the grub gone so I can start again [08:33] I'll try fixmbr? and see what happens now [08:33] DoHi: well, wherever GRUB is., just fixmbr [08:33] I currently get an error 17 [08:34] dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/{harddrive} bs=512 count=1 [08:34] DoHi: you have to replace grub with something a null boot sector is a dead disk [08:34] DoHi: if yo do dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/ and let that run for a while, everything on the disk will be overwritten by 0's [08:34] yeah I tried installing UBUNTU and it still came up with my OLD GRUB [08:34] Terrasque: that's why you go bs=512 count=1 [08:34] if i change /boot/grub/menu.lst do i need to re-run grub-install ? [08:34] just erases the boot sector [08:34] earlmred: no [08:34] earlmred: nope [08:35] k thanks [08:35] lespea: I know, but sometimes windows act weirdly if the disk is not as it expects, ive noticed :p [08:35] hi, I'm trying to get files on/off my USB mp3 player but it doesn't work, can somebody help me? [08:36] lukasl: how are you doing it? [08:36] I just plug in the player in the USB connector and I expect to see some popup that tells me it's connected. [08:36] instead in dmesg, I see messages like [ 1542.156000] usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 [08:36] [ 1542.564000] usb 2-2: device not accepting address 12, error -71 [08:37] lukasl, what type/model is it? [08:40] lukasl, it should create device /dev/media/USB or similar [08:41] unless its an mtp device [08:41] cheers ppl [08:42] off to screw up my boot sector [08:42] hi, i am searching for mono 1.2.5 .deb packae, do you know where i can find more .deb packages ? , i tried getdeb [08:43] you actually have been very helpful [08:43] I may get it right this time [08:43] how do i find out which package provided /usr/bin/ld ? [08:43] Hmm [08:43] sunogbaga, sorry I got disconnected [08:44] sunogbaga, I just insert the MP3 player into an USB slot and expect to get some popup. Instead I get messages like [ 1542.156000] usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 [08:44] [ 1542.564000] usb 2-2: device not accepting address 12, error -71 [08:44] in demsg [08:44] dmesg even [08:44] lukasl, can you find the device if you do lsusb? [08:45] does anyone have widescreen 1280x800 framebuffer console working with Intel 945GM? [08:45] has anyone ever seen this from mdadm before? "device or resource busy" for a partition that isn't mounted? [08:46] hangthedj, nope, I see Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 and that three times [08:46] for Bus 001, Bus 002 and Bus 003 [08:46] lukasl, i have an mtp mp3 player and dmesg gives me accepting address 8, error -71 [08:46] is there a program that can flash LCD pixels quickly to fix dead/stuck pixels? [08:46] lukasl, what kind of mp3 player is it? [08:47] #jakarta [08:47] it's just an el-cheapo 1GB player, brandless. FYI, it works on my Debian server. [08:47] lukasl, there is nothing in /media/USB ? [08:47] could it be the USB hardware of this PC is too old somehow? [08:48] hwilde - nope. [08:48] How do I install the OpenGL Python bindings? [08:49] thalita [08:49] lukasl, just for fun do you have libmtp installed? [08:49] or does it show up in rhythmbox? [08:50] lukasl@nova:~$ dpkg -l|grep mtp [08:50] ii libmtp6 0.2.1-0ubuntu3 [08:50] so yeah libmtp is installed. [08:50] #jammaah [08:51] it doesn't show up in rhythmbox [08:51] if you do ls /dev/sd*, is there more than sda like maybe sdb? [08:51] hi [08:52] there are none. [08:52] lukasl: does dmesg say anything when you plug it in? [08:52] maybe its just an el-cheapo 1 gig mp3 player :p [08:52] yeah it is not recognized as a file system basically [08:52] otherwise it would mount [08:52] anyone think to check if that particular player needs a specific kernel module loaded? not everything is included in the stock kernel [08:52] but if it works in Debian you just need that package [08:53] Terrasque, yup, it says things like [ 2247.608000] usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14 [08:53] [ 2247.728000] usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [08:53] [ 2247.952000] usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 [08:53] in Debian do lsmod and see what module it is using [08:53] then install that package [08:54] exactly what i was thinking hwilde [08:55] Hmm [08:55] terrasque I tried it man still the problem persists........ [08:56] I'm having trouble getting WPA wireless support to work with my Dell latitude D630. Can someone help? [08:56] emm, seems everyone in the fedora channel is ideling, anyone here know anything about sticking fedora 8 ppc on a PS3 and getting the error message "Attribute error: device instant has no attribute 'pcidom'" [08:56] how can I auto enter the system in text mode [08:56] hi all [08:59] quick hardware question, for my RAM timings is 5-5-5-15 or 5-5-5-9 faster? [09:00] can anyone help with configuring a net connection [09:00] Inverse, ask in ##hardware , but smaller is faster [09:00] can any one help me? [09:00] It's kind of hard to accept that something as desktoppy as plugging in an MP3 player in the USB port would work without a problem on Debian but not on Ubuntu. [09:00] astro76, thanks [09:01] wroklife: what's wrong? [09:01] sunogbaga i have a cablenet connectio with a static ip and a gateway and netmask as 255.255.255.240 [09:01] Hey [09:02] are there ubuntu SVN or very up to date packages available for ubuntu? === Budda is now known as Budda| [09:02] cant configre to get to the internet ......i tried ifconfig stiil [09:02] I'm trying to avoid compiling things from source as much as possible [09:02] !hardy | df00z [09:02] df00z: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [09:02] olaa [09:02] but the version 7.10 uses is months old [09:02] AGH. Anyone have any idea how to fix the Mesa issue with the graphics driver? [09:02] I need help with LVM [09:03] Nothing I've tried will make it read as ATI [09:03] Are there backports for 7.10? [09:03] i recently upgraded my ram from 2GB => 4GB.... when i run top... it says 3.9GB of swap is unused.... when i originally partitioned, i think my swap partition is only 2GB... is this gonna be a problem? i'm thinking the OS thinks it has 3.9GB of swap to write to, but it only has 2GB... ideas? [09:03] morning all. I'm configuring SAMBA. how to 'share' on more network interfaces? how to specify mode than 1 ip class in "remote browse sync" paramter? thank you. [09:03] I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, and I'm having some troubles with my wireless networking. It conneectes to the network for about 5 or 10 minutes, then just randomly disconnects, and won't reconnect until I restart the Pc. Anyone know why? [09:03] connects* [09:03] hi i need help. i'm trying to install DLink DCS110 Webcam [09:03] df00z, you can enable backports in Software Sources [09:03] if I am creating a debian package which need to overwrite a file created by any other package, then I am facing a problem, like, couldnot overwrite the file alacarte.mo creating by alacarte package. [09:03] and it doesn't recongize it [09:03] Any ideas? [09:03] how can I remove his conflict ? [09:04] DSB110 to be more exact [09:04] indraveni, try asking in #ubuntu-motu [09:04] Anyone use LVM or know how to use it ??? [09:05] thankyou astro76 [09:05] I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, and I'm having some troubles with my wireless networking. It connects to the network for about 5 or 10 minutes, then just randomly disconnects, and won't reconnect until I restart the Pc. Anyone know why? [09:07] any one here has ever used a usb mic === xok`` is now known as x0k`` [09:07] hai [09:07] Budda|: That happened to me a few times. Using a Linksys WUSB54GS. Has been stable for 16 days now though. Not sure how to troubleshoot it, because it also made lsusb hang indefinitely. [09:07] astro76: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-backports/ I don't see any package for mplayer here? [09:07] df00z, that's likely [09:08] Any idea if there are packages for mplayer that are more up to date? like SVN weeklies or something? [09:10] id like some feedback about getting ram installed on my asus p5n-e sli.... basically it was working great when i had 2gb of crucial pc6400 memory. i bought a 2gb pack from frys today a-tech pc 6400.... and every configuration i can think of fails memtest (has > 1 error) ... and sometimes computer just shuts down........ ok anyways, so i found a config that boots up and lets me run.... but top reports that 3.5 of 3.6 gb is used, b [09:10] ut the system monitor says only 472MB of memory is used. .... what should i do? [09:11] astro76: ? why was it likely, anyway? [09:11] arooni__, you should buy crucial memory duh [09:12] df00z, there's really not that many backports and not unless for a good reason... is there a reason you need a mplayer version newer than gutsy's? [09:12] well 1, you went to Frys, 2 your mobo might not support the amount you have [09:12] there is a reason it costs more : bc it works [09:12] astro76: threaded h264 support, etc [09:12] they're always doing updates [09:12] try BUFFALO RAM its great [09:13] hwilde, well i cant get it ultra cheap at frys... plus atech is listed as an accepta ble memory from my asus mobo manual [09:13] I can compile it from scratch..but like [09:13] df00z, well if you want to remain bleeding edge, get the source from mplayer and compile... if you plan on doing this for lots of things, you might consider a different distro that is not time-based releases [09:13] honestly, i've used frys ram too, its usually fine, but not perfect, and check your mobo specs, it might not support 4gig [09:13] astro76: can't mplayer break when ubuntu updates? like, library dependencies and such [09:13] arooni__, you bought cheap ram and now it doesn't work and you wonder what is the problem... buy good ram ok [09:14] cawaker, mobo suppots up to 8gb [09:14] df00z, sure [09:14] Newegg.com is the best choice, if you are willing to wait for shipping [09:14] Yeah..i want to avoid that -_- [09:14] ubajaz: So theres nothing I can do? But keep restarting? [09:14] should memtest 86+ succeed with no errors ? are some memory errors acceptable? [09:14] no errors!! [09:15] df00z, you can't have it both ways, if you want stability, you use a distro which has discrete releases.. if you want bleeding edge, you sacrifice the tested stability of a distro release [09:15] you can still use the memory if it comes up with one or two errors, but there is no point [09:15] if you just purchased it, return it or use it as credit for an upgrade [09:15] df00z, maybe check out gentoo [09:15] df00z, or archlinux [09:15] I was running gentoo, I found myself compiling stuff outside portage, because it's not always up to date, even ~x86 [09:15] hwilde, what happens if you get errors [09:15] if the memory is bad take it back to the store and get a refund [09:15] So my system would always rot over time, heh [09:15] i can take it back no problem [09:16] df00z, so if you found a distro that was completely up to date on every piece of software, what would you waste your time on? :p [09:16] take it back and get some better stuff, I recommend BUFFALO i have 4GB of their ddr2 800mhz running at 1023Mhz with no problems at all [09:17] should i try to tweak the speed or voltage? [09:17] arooni__, if you get errors you go buy good ram [09:17] before returning [09:17] Crucial is also pretty decent [09:17] do NOT touch the voltage [09:17] going to frys is about an hour trip at minimum [09:17] astro: if I make a custom deb for mplayer, and say, it needs libasound.so.2.0.0, and synaptic updates libasound down the road [09:17] So buy the right ram the first time you can't skimp on cheap ram! [09:17] will it uninstal mplayer, or warn me somehow? [09:17] just take it back arooni, dont waste your money on cheap hardware it will burn you in the end [09:17] you can save money on other parts but your ram is bad your system is dead [09:17] if you are having issues at stock voltage and timing, messing with them won't fix anything [09:18] ok this is great feedback [09:18] yeah make fun of me, but i buy Apple hardware for a reson [09:18] lol at apple [09:18] #linux [09:18] did apple get anything faster than 667Mhz yet? [09:18] As an ex Apple tech, they used to send us three or four bad mainboards a week. [09:19] however... their shipping was overnight and they eventually got us the right part. [09:19] gee 3 or 4? vs the 10 or 20 i have to send back of dells monthly for my job? [09:19] 3 or 4 for ONE machine [09:19] not to mention the blanket recall we had to handle [09:20] Isn't the volume of received motherboards relevant? I see no numbers. [09:20] astro76: if I make a package for mplayer, and I build it with libasound 2.0.0, and synaptic updates libasound in the future, will it warn me about the package having dependencies not met? [09:20] Or will it just break? [09:20] at least half of the parts we ordered came up bad [09:20] they always made it right in the end, though [09:21] Buggy software, faulty hardware. This is the world I live in! [09:21] what kinds of things would you notice if you had bad memory [09:21] that failed the memtest86+ [09:21] Shit generally not working, lol [09:21] heh [09:21] and hard to repro i bet [09:21] You can get some pretty awesome behavior (if the system actually loads) [09:21] The_K, like ? [09:22] arooni__: with bad mem, basically anything can happen :p [09:22] does anyone else experience random reboots when using firefox? [09:22] it could be awesome [09:22] bachstudies: Definitely not. [09:22] opera seems to work just fine [09:23] or..I wonder if I could just statically link it [09:23] heh [09:24] hmmmm if memtest86+ runs one or two tests and then shuts down.... this is an indication that the memory is bad yes? [09:24] shuts down = computer shuts down [09:25] arooni__: from one program not functioning, to the machine going really slow, to weird textures in games, to one function returning bad result, to machine rebooting, to random data errors, to.. well, you get the idea :p [09:25] arooni what are you trying to do? [09:25] Wonder what could be wrong with a laptop that reboots during XP setup, and hangs for hours switching from "step 1" to "step 2" in the Ubuntu install, after taking a bloody long time to get there. [09:25] see whether th echeap atech memory i bought at frys will work [09:25] Inverse, that was for u === ubajaz is now known as jbs [09:26] ubajaz: faulty hard drive, cd drive or or pata/sata controller? [09:26] if its working it works, if you dont get strange behaviour then it would appear to be working, do the mem test with individual sticks, see if it reproduces errors === jbs is now known as ujabas [09:26] after a while my line drops, i wanna redial automatically, is it possible? [09:26] but my advice would be to take it back and spend a bit more getting better hardware [09:27] VSpike: Yes, I assume those are strong candidates. [09:27] Hey, I've installed Flash for FF and videos @ YouTube don't work right... Is there a common reason for this? [09:27] anyways, work time now, chow for now [09:27] jubilee: Flash or Flash Player? [09:27] Player* [09:28] arooni__: why would you inflict cheap RAM on yourself? :) [09:28] YouTube videos appear like an empty plate? [09:28] Also, In FF when I scroll up or down, and I get to the top of bottom of a page, rather than not scrolling anymore, it goes to the page before or after... If there a way to turn this off? [09:29] Parsi, no, all of the buttons are all mashed together and the windows sized wrong... [09:30] VSpike, cuz i'm chronically cheap.... about everything :( [09:30] hello , how can I mount a partition automaticly on boot ? using fstab file ? if yes is the next syntax correct ? : "/dev/sda1 /mnt/mountPartition ext32" ????? [09:30] Devyll, man fstab [09:30] jubilee: re-install flash player! [09:30] Devyll: mount -a [09:30] I have an issue with my Virtual machine, its not picking up my video card as an ATI card [09:30] Parsi, k then... do you know anything about this scrolling thing? [09:30] or go to /media [09:30] aaaa [09:31] shit, I'd just remove then install FF, unless you've played around with it too much [09:31] i had this problem, but it fixed itself! [09:31] Parsi, which? [09:31] scrolling [09:31] how do I achieve this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47668/ [09:31] can someone help me, i lost my bar for taskbar [09:31] hi [09:32] Parsi, what about when you're on the desktop, how if you accidentally scroll it starts switching workspaces? [09:32] arooni__: With some things, that only works if you don't value your time. Sometimes you need to spend more to save, seems to me [09:32] hello [09:32] how do I rebuild the kernel? [09:33] it's not entertaining, not in the least. [09:33] jubilee: stars? [09:33] arooni__: Mind you, if we didn't like wasting hours on a computer, why would we use linux? :) [09:33] VSpike, i agree with you........ and i do value my time [09:33] Vspike, agreed [09:33] Parsi? [09:33] i need to spend a bit more sometimes [09:33] jubilee. aha [09:34] only when mouse goes to desktop sides! [09:34] and i don't know how to disable it! [09:34] draken, add a new bar to the bottom of the screen, and right click it and add the task bar to it [09:34] Parsi, if I scroll with desktop @ front, it'll switch workspaces... I don't know how to shut this off... It's really annoying, that I should fear accidentally scrolling too far or in the wrong places... [09:34] I don't have a GUI readily available, but thats essentially it [09:35] jubilee, me to! [09:35] Parsi, so do you know where I might... find some prefs for this? [09:35] jubilee, if you found a way to shut off teach me! [09:35] I have an issue with my Virtual machine, its not picking up my video card as an ATI card [09:36] what VM software are you using? [09:36] and in my experience, most VM's won't pick them up.. it will give you a generic VGA adapter driver [09:36] guys, what is the best VM software out there ? [09:36] WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!? [09:36] !caps [09:36] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:37] Virtual box [09:37] hey guys, is there an option to redialing on line drop??? [09:37] Well, read caps, for I am angry and I'm trying to get this across... I'm not asking how to rewrite the whole OS w/out the frickin scroll issue... [09:38] quick and dirty solution... remove the scrollwheel from your xorg.conf file [09:38] I just know that it wasn't that way is Feisty, and now it is... and there is no way to just shut this crap feature off??? [09:38] It's a track pad [09:38] ...ouch [09:39] I feel your pain on that one. My laptop has decided that half my trackpad is the scrollwheel === cawaker is now known as psychoB [09:39] yeah, I accidentally hit it all the time... if only they'd do the AAPL thing where two fingers are needed to scroll [09:39] Ah, in that case [09:39] Solution may == USB mouse [09:40] anybody in here have experience with mdadm? [09:40] It's my girlfriends computer, not mine, but it annoys both of us, and she doesn't, for whatever reason, like to use a mouse [09:40] hi [09:40] hm [09:40] or she... likes to use her fingers instead... which doesn't worry me. [09:41] mdadm keeps giving me "device or resource busy" when i try to create an array [09:42] how can i know the symbolic links for a knowen file? [09:42] redblack: You mean the extension? [09:43] non [09:44] irreducibilis, i should entre a file name to the find cmd + parametres that destinct the symbolic link for the file a want [09:44] ah... no clue then [09:45] My volume is very low... When I set it to 50% it's unhearable and when it's on 100% it feels like it's actually at 25% volume. What's causing this and/or how can I fix it? I know the volumes aren't correct because I used to be on Windows. [09:45] alsamixer [09:45] irreducibilis, thanks any way [09:46] :) [09:46] start there [09:46] where would i find it [09:47] Richard51684: run it from a terminal [09:47] ok [09:48] Hy, I Dont Know why but firefox eats up 23% CPU in ideal state just with the igoogle website opened.... Flash movie players also tend to lag... adn all the CPU is used by firefox (dual PIII server) === Owner_ is now known as smmagic [09:48] Richard51684: just turn everything to max, and try toggling some of the options too, especially if you have anything like "external amplifier" or similar [09:48] is there any way to fire up a shell with network tools like ssh/ftp when booting to an ubuntu installer? [09:49] Hello , I would like to know that Apache has the gui configure or not ? If yes , what is the name of that program. [09:49] I think you are stuck with whatever is on the LiveCD [09:50] sunogbaga, are you looking for a temporary toolkit? If so, try Knoppix [09:50] The_K: Problem is i don't have a live cd, all i have is a ubuntu server installer [09:51] huh... no way to get a LiveCD? [09:51] i tried that alsamixer utility and all options [09:51] didn't help [09:51] The_K: not now.. [09:51] Richard51684, did you see how to "unmute" things in alsamixer? [09:51] yes [09:51] The_K: i can get it at later, but i'm wondring if it's possible [09:51] my avi videos are going all green ? :< [09:51] Rickard, press M, I believe... or Enter, actually [09:52] sunogbaga, I don't think it is. [09:52] alsamixer [09:52] Good morning everyone [09:52] Richard51684, i guess you raised the level for pcm too [09:52] what deb can i use to install beryl-manager for gutsy amd64 [09:52] !beryl | root [09:52] root: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [09:52] yep [09:53] i raised all the possible levels [09:53] The_K: thnx,. it would be helpful, coz my officemate's pc just crashed, we have no way to back-up..just through network(i guess) [09:53] !compiz [09:53] 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 [09:53] Richard51684: is alsa selected in System > preferences > sound [09:54] The_K: i have to get myself that live cd [09:54] does any of you know a Ubuntu version ready for server purpuse (Just local server with PHP, Mysql, Apache, SVN, Maybe some Bittorent?) [09:54] i have been using the heck out of systemrescuecd lately [09:55] jck_true, they have a server version on the website [09:55] I'm running on it right now [09:55] root: install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:55] ok so when I run compiz --replace I get a white screen [09:55] jck_true: the desktop version will work fine for that [09:55] jck_true: yes Ubuntu Server. at install, you can choose roles as LAMP for instance [09:55] sunobaga, Knoppix is pretty bueno... I haven't played with ut un a whule [09:55] The_K: Does that version include PHP and other goodies? [09:55] jck_true: yes [09:55] jck_true: you have no need for server version for your requiments, the desktop version will do exactly what you ask for [09:55] Thanks [09:56] !lamp > jck_true [09:56] my avi videos are going all green ? :< [09:56] jck_true: the desktop version will also be much easier to maintain and use [09:57] that begs the question... why bother having a server version? [09:57] How can I make gnome not show window contents while moving or resizing? [09:57] my avi videos are going all green ? :< [09:57] all of a sudden [09:57] Not running effects [09:57] The_K: for people who actually need server platforms [09:57] Hello , I would like to know that Apache has the gui configure or not ? If yes , what is the name of that program. [09:57] jck_true: I assure you the desktop version will be fine, work easier and be a much better platform for your personal needs [09:57] skywalking: no idea. Google might pull something up, though. [09:57] hmm [09:57] sure does take awhile to format 1.5TB [09:57] skywalking: no gui that I'm aware of [09:57] The_K: I use server version install a lot :) [09:58] any ideas or which log I can look at why I get this white screen ? [09:58] root: xorg.log, gdm.log [09:58] root: x.0.log [09:58] root: syslog, messages [09:59] I have been looking all night at these files but I don't see anything strange [09:59] root: at what point do you get a white screen [09:59] immediately [09:59] when [09:59] as soon as I run compiz --replace [10:00] root: ok - so lets step back. Does it work without compiz ? [10:00] heh ircing as root? :) [10:00] Good Morning Ikonia [10:00] <_ruben> not working as root would be a first step [10:00] The_K: morning [10:00] oops [10:00] if I type metacity --replace I am ok [10:00] ikonia: can't tell anymore [10:00] TexasTaz: good morning [10:00] root: thats not what I asked === riccio is now known as riccio_sub [10:01] root: your running fine with no issues without enabling compiz ? [10:01] does the ubuntu livecd have the adobe flash plugin installed on it? [10:01] JewishMan: no [10:01] :(( wah. [10:01] yes [10:01] JewishMan, can't legally do that [10:01] ikonia yes seems ok [10:02] root: right, so how do you enable "desktop effects" [10:02] The_K im surprised, i'd think adobe would WANT that [10:02] JewishMan: no [10:02] whats their problem? [10:02] JewishMan: restrictive license [10:02] ikonia yikes I am not sure I guess I had this before upgrading from feisty and when I was using beryl-manager [10:02] you guys should try sending hired goons over to the Adobe headquarters [10:03] JewishMan... no idea, but no OS ships with it. It's a distribution of code issue.. they want a cut of the sales [10:03] root: ok - so there is a potential problem have you removed all the beryl stuff before upgrading ? [10:03] how do they make sales off of a player? [10:03] My screen is all garbage when I boot up. How do I change to vesa mode [10:03] !offtopic >JewishMan [10:03] never mind. Jesus [10:03] I'm not jesus [10:04] ikonia let me do a dpkg -l | grep beryl [10:04] ...wasn't he Jewish? [10:04] heh [10:04] [10:04] Hello ubuntu people. [10:04] root: did you read the upgrade info about disabling all 3rd party product/repo's ? [10:04] hi DosKey [10:04] ikonia that came up empty so my guess is I don't have beryl [10:04] Good evening/morning [10:04] root not any more [10:05] root: but did you leave it enabled while upgrading ? [10:05] ikonia nope did not se it [10:05] root: to be honest, I would do a clean gutsy install as you've not followed the procedure [10:05] Is anyone here using elisa? [10:05] root: it will be easier to resolve than troubleshooting a mix match system [10:05] ikonia ooo nooooo [10:05] root: and I'll put money your problem goes away [10:05] err [10:05] root: don't log in using root. Please. Use sudo or su if you must, heh [10:05] root from HTS? [10:06] ikon ok [10:06] has anyone here managed to get javaws to work, i've install jre1.5 as i need that version for a specific applet however when i go to run javaws it is looking for javaws.jar file which doesn't exist [10:06] ikonia what is the best way to capture all my configuration information of my system if I am going to rebiuild from scratch ?? [10:07] root: your home directory contains most of your personalisation config files [10:07] Slap_stick: What is output of 'ls -l /etc/alternatives/javaws' [10:07] i have my home on a seprate drive [10:07] root: thats excellent [10:07] root: that should make a clean install much easier [10:07] * magnetron awards ikonia a golden star for good IRC support [10:07] root: well done [10:08] magnetron: ha ha [10:08] ikonia: you deserve it! [10:08] my main worry is all the work I did to get hdtv pinnacle mythtv mysql apache and all other stuff installed [10:08] how do I fix my screen that displays crap when i boot up? [10:08] root: ok - so your tv setup will have to be re-done, no real way around that. [10:08] Where can I find MP3 codecs??? [10:08] root: backup your apache config files [10:08] mips, what do you mean... 'Crap'? [10:08] root: dump your mysql databases for imports to preserve grant permissions [10:09] hi, where can i edit the enviroment variables? [10:09] root: then your fine and ready to go [10:09] mips: editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:09] !codec > jubilee [10:09] simion314, from shell.... [10:09] simion314: envionment vaiables are edited from the shell eg: TEST=12345 [10:09] eh? [10:09] y0y0y0. [10:09] Doskey, I cannot see anything its just stripes when it gets to the login part [10:09] i want to remove something, i prefer editing a file [10:10] DerangedDingo, what do I append to the kernel line ? [10:10] this is painfull I wish there was a betterway to keep track of things [10:10] hullo? [10:10] mips: that's a different story [10:10] simion314: how does an enviornment varaible effect removing something [10:10] x server has f***ed up.... [10:10] jubilee: just saying hi'z. [10:10] DosKey: thats a terrible way to get support [10:10] Stevethepirate: hi'z! [10:10] DosKey: remember this is a family friendly channel, so no swearing, and your initial comment didn't even warrent any form of bad language [10:10] magnetron: lulz hi'z :P [10:10] mips: i thought you meant the 'verbose output' [10:10] DosKey: just speak politly and you'll get support [10:10] ikonia: hello as well. [10:10] lol..... [10:10] or whatever it's called [10:10] Stevethepirate: hi [10:11] DosKey: I'm not laughing [10:11] I'm not after support.... [10:11] I'm looking for MP3 Codecs for Rythmbox [10:11] Sorry :S === max642 is now known as max [10:11] !mp3 > jubilee [10:11] DosKey: then please moderate your own language [10:11] Sorry :S [10:11] jubilee: read the private message from ubotu [10:11] OIC! [10:11] DerangedDingo, I have a nv6600 card, is there not something I can add to the boot parameters untill I install the nvidia driver? [10:11] thx [10:11] mips: what point are you getting garbled text ? [10:11] mips: what a name.. that language pwnt me for like 1/2 year... [10:11] is it possible to use 7.10 apt but then my own kernel in grub.conf (i need to use 7.04 one bc newer one doesn't work) [10:11] or will ubuntu get mad at me [10:12] dancor: it is possible, but its a lot of effort to do and maintain and you'll lose ubuntu supportability [10:12] ikona, lines on his GUI at login [10:12] ikonia: hi, i tried to install mono from a installer, it faield some how, and i have some incorect path and other variables, i do not know exactly how to modify them, i prefer looking at the file [10:12] ikonia, the loging part, basically where X11 starts [10:12] xserver [10:12] simion314: which installer ? [10:12] dancor: How do you plan to install the old kernel? It should be possible but we need to know more details. [10:12] well you should load the nv driver by default.. as ordered in your xorg.conf i believe, so, the problem should be there [10:12] Stevethepirate, they were good cpus [10:12] ikonia the linux installer [10:12] I need a way to bridge 2 network cards so that anyone on network 1 can talk to anyone on network 2 through the bridge.. one network is DHCP, the other is static.. anyone know any guides or point me in a general direction? [10:12] slytherin: it's still there in /boot, i just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 [10:13] ikonia is a installer for this program [10:13] mips: ok - here is what to do. Boot into safe mode or from the livecd. Mount your file system, and edit /etc/xorg.conf to say "vesa" where it currently says "nv" [10:13] simion314: what installer ? you should be using the ubuntu package manager via apt/apttitude or synaptic [10:13] i'll try it, i just wanted to know if it would def not work [10:13] thansk [10:13] dancor: Then it should work. [10:13] mips: I don't think that was meant for you, your not having X11 problems are you [10:13] ikonia: there are to old [10:13] the 7.10 packages are very up to date [10:14] mips: yeah, I did SPIM for a Comp sci elective.. was luls. [10:14] ikonia i will try now to compile from source but i must clean the path and other variables [10:14] Is there a way to disable to display of known file types when viewing files as in Windows? eg. .txt .odt etc. [10:14] ikonia i need the recent version [10:14] ikonia, i have gfx driver issue [10:14] simion314: you shouldn't be compiling thigns like mono from source unless you are %100 confident in what you are doing, which you are clearly not due to being unable to set environment variables [10:14] He was telling you what to do... [10:14] ikonia, would love to get my hands on a mips based pc, just for giggles [10:14] z9999: you mean like "Hide file extensions of known file types" in windows? [10:14] mips: ahh then it was for you. Did you uderstand my message [10:15] mips: is it clear what I suggested on how to resolve your issue ? [10:16] ikonia i have no choice, i alreadi instaled some addins from svn, only to use some debian packages but it could be unsafe [10:16] simion314: you shouldn't be using debian packages either, they are not meant for ubuntu [10:16] ikonia, i understand, what is the exact location of xorg.conf? [10:16] simion314: it sounds like you've made a real potential mess of your system [10:16] mips: /etc/X11 [10:16] Stevethepirate: Yes. [10:17] How can I make gnome not show window contents while moving or resizing? Not running effects [10:17] Also would like to disable the minimize/maximise animations [10:17] ikonia: i know but i have no choice the ubuntu maintener of this packages is not maintain them up to date [10:17] VSpike: in one of the visual menu's there is an option that saws "show contents while dragging" [10:17] z9999: hmm, never really liked that feature TBH.. soz. [10:17] simion314: why do you need later than 7.10's package. 7.10's are almost bleeding edge [10:18] ikonia: visual menus? [10:18] VSpike: desktop appearence, [10:18] VSpike: themes, that sort of thing, one of the menus that edits teh visual effects [10:18] ikonia: i need to compile some programs, like monodevelop, and it has this dependences === oediv_ is now known as oediv [10:18] simion314: monodevelop is in the repo [10:19] simion314: ubuntu has one packaged for you [10:19] ikonia: I can't find it [10:19] Stevethepirate: Any idea how to hude them in ubuntu? [10:19] simion314: monodevelop - C#/Boo/Java/Nemerle/ILasm/ASP.NET Development Environment [10:19] ikonia: i want to implement something in MD, in the repositories is the version 0.14 and now the stable si 0.17 [10:19] z9999: no, just said so.. soz. [10:19] can i use the graphical installer to set up an encrypted environment? [10:19] simion314: thats not far behind, [10:19] simion314: what specifcly do you need out of 0.17 [10:20] boguh: not that I'm aware of [10:20] Andy [10:20] boguh: no. [10:20] how do I rebuild the kernel in ubuntu? [10:20] kerny..... [10:20] kerny: if you have to ask, you should n't be doing so [10:20] kerny: why do you want to rebuild the kenrnel ? [10:20] cause with the alternate install cd i could mind my swap sace on an encrypted partition [10:20] kernel even [10:20] I have to [10:20] kerny: why [10:21] I need a way to bridge 2 network cards so that anyone on network 1 can talk to anyone on network 2 through the bridge.. one network is DHCP, the other is static.. anyone know any guides or point me in a general direction? [10:21] ikonia: listen i want to run Monodevelop inside monodevelop to add some component, and i need to use the SVN versions that has now dependencies [10:21] to you a driver for my tv card [10:21] use* [10:21] ikonia, thx, sorted, i have a visible desktop. Now I can upgrade to nvidia driver [10:21] Then just install a kernel Module. [10:21] simion314: then that is not an ubuntu issue [10:21] I need CONFIG_I2C=m, CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m and CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m [10:21] Stevethepirate: turn your computer into a router? [10:21] Then just install a kernel Module. [10:21] for the kernel [10:21] ^^^^^^ [10:21] Kerny [10:21] kerny: thos modules should be in the kernel [10:21] Stevethepirate: isn't that what a router does, connects two networks together? [10:21] don't I have to install those things? [10:21] !kernel > kerny [10:22] Schalken: well, I need to run some services [web, ftp, DC, etc] on this PC, but yeah, basically need to route as well. [10:22] No need to recompile.... Just install a module. [10:22] kerny: no, they should already be modules in the default uubntu kernel [10:22] enabled by default? [10:22] There was on mine..... But i had to installl different Modules. [10:22] if so, great! [10:22] Stevethepirate: actually, im not sure if you actually need to "route" or if you just need to make your computer connect the two networks together to make one network. [10:22] kerny: yes, you may need to modprobe them, but other than that, ready to go [10:22] *Install [10:22] http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ [10:22] Stevethepirate: is there a difference between a router and a birdge? [10:22] go to the bottom of that page [10:23] Schalken: there is.. [10:23] kerny: why, we have answered your question [10:23] ok then [10:23] Stevethepirate: using LAMP? [10:23] ikonia i tried loading MD in the 0.14 version of monodevelop but it faield, it would be better to use the latest versions, i have some instructions to install parralel versions of mono, i prefered using .deb packages but if they are not, belive me i was thinking to install open SUSE to use latest mono and monodevelop because they release they r code in rpm format for suse [10:23] Stevethepirate: is a bridge what you need? [10:23] someone said I need a kernel module [10:23] but you said its in the kernel already [10:23] simion314: again, thats nothing to do with ubuntu [10:23] kerny: what are you trying to do? [10:23] is there a reason why i can't see a shared drive on my network? it's been run off a airport extreme. i have all the samba services running and i can already access networked windows folders [10:24] kerny: it's already compiled [10:24] ok [10:24] What's the diff between the GLDesktop thing in the preferences menu and the compiz/effects stuff? [10:24] Like, at university we have network points in our rooms. [only 1]. So I have 4 PC's.. so i'm gonna plug the server into one [the wall] then on the other network card on it, plug into a switch with the other PC's on it. [10:24] simion314: Use debian unstable. you will get new packages everyday. But then it can crash your hard disk or kill your cat. :-P [10:24] kerny: just load the module [10:24] what module? [10:24] the driver? [10:24] for my card? [10:24] yeah [10:24] ok [10:24] kerny: which card? [10:25] Stevethepirate: just buy a switch. Should work, unless you get one IP per port [10:25] One IP per port, MAC filtered.. :( [10:25] Stevethepirate: you've lost me. anyways, you proly know more about networks than i do. and to turn your computer into a router or a bridge im pretty sure you need some l33t hacking on iptables. but there might be an easy to use gui that will do that for you, as well. [10:25] ikonia: yes, i will clean the enviroment variablea and compile from source [10:25] iptables is not rocket science [10:25] And I have a switch already. [hence the method of connection to the other PC's] [10:26] Suva: 'lo [10:26] Definately some iptables. There should be plenty of guides online for that. [10:26] You don't need to be l33t hacker to hack it. You just need to read some manuals and background information on networks [10:26] <[AA]dev-null> hi everybody. how i can add local ru_RU.KOI8-R in my ubuntu? [10:26] Stevethepirate: firestarter can help you setup ubuntu as a router [10:26] Stevethepirate: you need to do NAT routng right? [10:26] [AA]dev-null: Wouldn't it be smarter to just use UTF russian locale? [10:26] [AA]dev-null: local wha? [10:26] Yeah.. I'm looking for a simple solution though, I need to explain this to non-l33t linux noobs who are also on the residence sub-com [10:26] VSpike: perhaps. [10:26] [AA]dev-null: whats ru_RU.KOI8-R? [10:27] Should i draw a picture on paint to explain the situation? [10:27] Might clear up. [10:27] Schalken: Locale [10:27] Stevethepirate: firestarter can help you setup ubuntu as a router [10:27] * Stevethepirate goes to draw it quick.. bbias [10:27] Stevethepirate: Oh god, please do! [10:27] The_K: indeed. :P [10:27] <[AA]dev-null> Suva: no i nedd koi8-r . i try to start WOW with russian language. else dont work [10:27] Stevethepirate: firestarter can help you setup ubuntu as a router [10:27] [AA]dev-null: Ah, I see [10:27] Stevethepirate: yes, you do. If you have a spare old PC, use smoothwall [10:27] [AA]dev-null: Have you tried installing Russian language support? [10:28] Stevethepirate: firestarter can help you setup ubuntu as a router [10:28] magnetron: i thought firestarter only configured your filtering/firewall [10:28] Schalken: it's al just iptables [10:29] <[AA]dev-null> slytherin: allready installed (sory for my english) i have learn germ [10:29] [AA]dev-null: You need to run some dpkg-reconfigure thing, generate appropriate locales (do not set as default, just generate them) and use: export LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R [10:29] magnetron: but firestarter isnt a generic iptables gui, it just configures the part of iptables relevant to firewalling. thats what i thought, anyway. [10:30] <[AA]dev-null> Suva: just write export LC_ALL=ru_RU.KOI8-R and start> [10:30] <[AA]dev-null> ?)) [10:30] [AA]dev-null: In the same terminal, before launching WoW [10:30] Stevethepirate: http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/5/28/ [10:30] <[AA]dev-null> Suva: ok thanks a lot [10:30] linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h: No such file or directory [10:30] how do I fix that? [10:30] [AA]dev-null: I can't give you exact command lines right now, because I am not behind linux computer [10:30] does anyone knows where are the enviroment variables set? i need the name of the file not the shell commands [10:31] simion314: they are set in your shell [10:31] simion314: you edit them by using the shell VARIABLE=1234 for example [10:31] dvb-kernel/build-2.6/dvbdev.h:30:35: error: linux/devfs_fs_kernel.h: No such file or directory [10:31] simion314: you can set them on a regular basis using your bash profiles [10:31] how do I fix that? [10:31] simion314: for user level ~/.bashrc [10:31] kerny: why are you building additional modules ? [10:32] simion314: Depends, /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc ... [10:32] simion314: it should not be set in /etc/profile [10:32] Flip i hate paint... [10:32] I need to install this: The LinuxTV project DVB code, with my version of mt352.c installed in place of the distributed version. This snapshot from CVS should build out of the box (and includes my mt352.c); [10:32] Stevethepirate: MS Paint? [10:32] The_K: unfortunately. [10:33] is there any adblock-plus extension for firefox? [10:33] kerny: do you actually understand what your doing ? [10:33] MS Paint and Notepad are the two greatest pieces of software to ever come out of Redmond [10:33] yeah, just type make in the dir [10:33] Stevethepirate: you could try the ubuntu firewall program at http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/2/1/ and the howto i linked above [10:33] coz whenever i go to the mozilla site and try to install add-ons they never work [10:33] right? [10:33] Richard51684: yes [10:33] kerny: no, thats not understanding what your doing [10:33] The_K: thats not saying much [10:33] hy everybody [10:33] I'm compiling source code [10:33] VSpike: no.. not a firewall.. [10:33] http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7670/topologyvy5.jpg <-- topology [10:33] Stevethepirate: it has a setup for ICS and NAT routing [10:33] kerny: what do you actually want to achieve as an end solution ? [10:33] ow can I get my old search function back? strigi is not doing what I want [10:34] Stevethepirate: read the article [10:34] I'm trying to install modules [10:34] what's a module? [10:34] Richard51684: they never work--do they install? [10:34] Stevethepirate: yes what you want is NAT routing, sometimes called ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) [10:34] for the kernel? [10:34] or for linux? [10:34] kerny: no, what do you want to archieve as an end solution (what do you want to be able to do_ [10:34] nope [10:34] ) [10:34] i try to download them and they don't even start, timeout [10:34] I want to use my TV card [10:35] VSpike: if i wanted ICS, i would use tinyproxy. [10:35] PCI slot card [10:35] FusionHDTV [10:35] I'm talking -all- port sharing. [10:35] Stevethepirate: the reason for all the mentions of firewalls is that the same kernel modules and software are used for both purposes [10:35] Richard51684: are you installing them through the get extensions via firefox? [10:35] kerny: ok, there are many TV viewing applications ready to use in ubuntu without you having to build kernel modules and source code [10:35] yes [10:35] for fusionHDTV? [10:35] VSpike: i've read that before. [10:35] then i tried downloading the .xpi files [10:35] Stevethepirate: proxy and NAT are not the same thing [10:35] i couldn't even do that [10:35] I know that. [10:35] hoho [10:35] Richard51684: which version of firefox? and ubuntu [10:35] 2.11 7.10 [10:36] kerny: that is just a physical card as I read about it [10:36] But that firewalling thing is not what I'm looking for. [10:36] Stevethepirate: I guess I missed an important part of the discussion then... so what are you trying to do? [10:36] Stevethepirate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router === fnord is now known as ganjamaniac [10:36] high [10:36] i got a problem [10:36] ganjamaniac: hi [10:36] Richard51684: do you have block popups disabled? [10:36] no [10:36] the problem is: i can't re-install wine [10:36] ganjamaniac: perhaps the ATF could help you. [10:36] It's a high definition TV card though [10:37] will ubuntu support it? [10:37] ganjamaniac: sudo apt-get remove wine && sudo rm -rf ~/.wine/ && sudo apt-get install wine [10:37] Richard51684: you have to allow those extensions to load, popups iirc [10:37] might work [10:37] might break === jimmacdonal is now known as os2mac [10:37] kerny: ok, looking at this document http://www.kjglobal.co.uk/acatalog/Fusion_HDTVD.html it looks like there is a supported chipset for it, but I can't be certain [10:38] ill try that [10:38] kerny: although that is the usb version [10:38] wine: [10:38] Hängt ab: ia32-libs but it is not going to be installed [10:38] Hängt ab: lib32asound2 but it is not going to be installed [10:38] Hängt ab: libc6-i386 but it is not going to be installed [10:38] i tried to in stall wine [10:38] ganjamaniac: are you using ubuntu64 bit ? [10:38] yes [10:38] it was working before [10:38] ganjamaniac: wine is not available on 64bit [10:39] ganjamaniac: wine is 32bit only [10:39] hmm it worked before [10:39] Stevethepirate: Smoothwall, or Clarkconnect. Might be easier to set up. [10:39] ganjamaniac: are you sure, wine is only available as 32bit package [10:39] i click the install now button on this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 [10:39] ia32-libs are for emulating ia32 on 64bit [10:39] and nothing happens [10:40] ganjamaniac: no, they are not for emullation, they ARE 32bit libraries [10:40] ikonia, it worked before [10:40] i messed up a thing [10:40] ikonia: he might have had 32-bit OS installed perchance? [10:40] with a debian package [10:40] ganjamaniac: as I said, are you %100 sure as wine is only available in 32bit code [10:40] I have a FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus [10:40] thats the exact model [10:40] of my card [10:40] Stevethepirate: yes, hence why I'm asking [10:40] any ideas? [10:40] how do I start using it? [10:40] ikonia: i thought we went through this last week? [10:40] kerny: it looks like there is supported chipsets [10:40] Stevethepirate: I think we did [10:41] Richard51684: you went there via the extensions and have enabled popups (ie not blocked them)--not just surfing over to mozilla website [10:41] i disabled blocking popups [10:42] so if it is supported, is the driver installed already? [10:42] or I have to apt-get something? [10:42] VSpike: router is not what is happening. [10:42] kerny: there is a module that appears so support it [10:42] kerny: I've never used it / read about it before though [10:42] where can I download it? [10:42] that's fine [10:42] I want to recompile my kernel (gutsy). I did apt-get source linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic. It gives me a diff.gz file. How do I apply those diffs against the kernel source tree? [10:42] kerny: I don't believe you have to download it [10:42] Sorry, magnetron. [10:42] Upayavira: why do you want to build your own kernel [10:42] Upayavira: if you do so you will lose ubuntu community support [10:42] SLUB->SLAB [10:42] so how do I use it, if I may ask [10:43] I'm well aware [10:43] Richard51684: very odd--I have added tons of extensions from the tools--addons-get extensions in firefox browser, and I have the same versions [10:43] Upayavira: no problem then [10:43] I have no experience in ubuntu [10:43] kerny: you need a TV viewing application, there are many in the ubuntu repos [10:43] Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to add a non source file to src directory in a kdevelop project and have it copied to debug and distribution [10:43] magnetron: that example is like 'Comp A' has internet and "Comp B->Z" need it.. [10:43] why is "I want to build my own kernel?" always answered with "Why do you want to build your own kernel?" ? [10:43] ikonia: was recompiling kernels back in '94, just not ubuntu ones! [10:43] crweb: because most people don't uderstand the implications [10:43] Building your own kernel is bad, mkay [10:44] is there a command to download a file? [10:44] crweb: because some doesn't need to [10:44] wget [10:44] Richard51684: wget [10:44] Richard51684: wget [10:44] magnetron: s/some/most [10:44] so, given I'm evil :-), does anyone know how to apply this kernel patch? [10:44] k [10:44] should I download MythTv? [10:44] !kernel > crweb [10:44] Upayavira: Patch is the command [10:44] kerny: why are asking us? :p [10:44] well it will work? [10:44] kerny: yes :} [10:44] kerny: myth is an excellent tv/multimedia package [10:44] kerny: what do you want it to do? [10:45] ikonia: yeah, I did patch -p0 -v < linux......diff, but that didn't apply it, it just gave loads of "already applied" warnings [10:45] hmm [10:45] magnetron: thanks, but i'm very well aware of how to do so ;) [10:45] I want to use a FusionHDTV DVB-T [10:45] Upayavira: is it already applied then ? [10:45] PLus [10:45] FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus [10:45] ikonia: lol. that's what I was just wondering. Let me check... [10:45] Upayavira: I think you may find it is [10:45] kerny: tv out? [10:45] ??? [10:45] I want to watch TV [10:46] kerny: media center? [10:46] and play Wii [10:46] kerny: ubuntu can't play wii [10:46] no, I hooked up my Wii to my TV card [10:46] I can select Input source as compsosite [10:46] kerny: that may be quite a complex solution [10:46] To record your Wii'ing? [10:46] I have it working [10:46] ikonia: lol. It is already applied. And how much time I've wasted on that one! Thx [10:46] in Windows that is [10:46] Upayavira: no problem [10:46] Upayavira: apt-get source does the patch applying for you. you don't have to do anything special [10:46] how can i link the binaries? [10:47] kerny: that may be very complx in linux [10:47] depend: libc6 (=2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-4 is to be installed [10:47] kerny: good chance of lag doing that, but I hope it works! [10:47] slytherin: ahhhh, thx [10:47] ln libc6 2.61 274? [10:47] ikonia: what module supports kerny's card? [10:47] ganjamaniac: why do you want to link the binaries ? [10:47] kerny: i play my wii on my linux machine [10:47] http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ Apparently that is not laggy [10:47] i link the old version [10:47] kerny: its all dependant on your card and driver. [10:47] slytherin: it looks like the win-nova compatible modules will play it, there is also a 3rd party module for extended functionality, lookinat the docs [10:47] crweb: how would I get a FusionHDTV DVB-T plus working? [10:47] crweb: really? :o [10:48] where does wget save a file? [10:48] ganjamaniac: 32bit is our problem [10:48] i got 2.7-4 of libc6-i386 [10:48] Richard51684: current working dir [10:48] Richard51684: home folder [10:48] FluxD: yeah. not an issue. You want a framegrabber card, not a hardware encoder [10:48] apparently there is this website http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/ [10:48] ikonia: IT WAS RUNNING BEFORE! believe me, i messed up something with a installer yesterday night [10:48] crweb: any links I could take look at [10:48] mythtv is like tivo kerny [10:49] ganjamaniac: it will run, but you need a 32bit environment to run it [10:49] FluxD: for hardware? or setup? I just use a cheap $20 card from newegg and tvtime [10:49] libc-i386 is a part of the 32bit environment for 64bit systems [10:49] crweb: ah got it [10:49] ganjamaniac: libc-i386 is the 32bit libaries, full stop. [10:50] ibc6-i386 [10:50] GNU C Library: 32bit shared libraries for AMD64 [10:50] yes ? [10:51] kerny: nobody is giving you the run around. Its a really hard question to answer. Very likely no one else has your tv card. [10:51] kerny: your best bet would be to google for "linux " and see examples of what others have done to get it to work. [10:51] ciao [10:52] i think i re-install the whole ubuntu [10:52] ganjamaniac: maybe use the 32bit os ? [10:52] i use 64bit [10:53] its 64bit time [10:53] consider 32 if wine is critical to your needs [10:53] hi i'm alexander good morning [10:53] i just have to run synchronet on wine, until i compiled it against gcc [10:53] yeah, if you need wine, cedega, or crossover, you should use 32bit [10:54] the gains from 64bit i don't feel outweigh the lack of software and support.

[10:59] lol [10:59] ljsmithx: some people do. I dont give damn about it [10:59] ljsmithx: Do you want to smash him? :-D [10:59] *a damn [10:59] you need to consider depeche mode [10:59] Nio [10:59] ljsmithx: be specific [10:59] He loves microsoft [10:59] What program can I use to measure my typing speed? [11:00] ljsmithx: usually a baseball bat, or a /ignore works best. [11:00] Mis msn nick is "Mr. Microsoft" [11:00] a stop watch ?

It is possible the module loaded without firmware [11:01] passbe: try unloading the module with -r, then load it again and check dmesg [11:01] passbe: Are you sure the module is loaded? You can try looking at output of 'dmesg' and see if that device node was created. [11:01] does anyone know a good download accelerator/manager like flashget?

[11:05] SmSpillaz: well, 61C cpu in a core 2 duo/pentium-d laptop isn't bad.. [11:05] sunogbaga: Yes, you're right, but vncviewer has a "-listen" option (port 5500). I just can't find the corresponding "connect to listening client" option in vncserver ... [11:05] I can no longer see the partitions. [11:05] where ? [11:05] passbe: i'd reboot, disconnect. check dmesg, then plug it in and check dmesg again [11:05] sunogbaga: I can't do it the normla way here, because of NAT/firewalling [11:05] passbe: of course [11:05] nrmal* [11:05] lol ok brb [11:05] and one partition (ext3) gives me a "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000" [11:05] normal*, even [11:06] cyrax: look in /etc/passwd for what has a uid of 1000 [11:06] where - dolphin [11:06] Hey all I was wondering if anyone who used tf-b4rt along with azureus could help me.

[11:15] ikonia, don't you favour linux over windows? [11:15] kbrooks: I don't use windows, I am %100 linux [11:15] I hoped that I can finally suggest moving all of our computers from windows to Ubuntu. Now I would have to re think. Maybe end up with Mac or if worse comes to worst Vista. Just saying that sends shivers down my spine. [11:16] kerny: why? tzap is in the repositories [11:16] how can i run vb files? 0.o?

[11:19] Anyone here ever ran a dedicated counter strike server off linux? [11:19] kerny: depends if your adapter creates a device file [11:19] how do I check that?

I thought it was ctrl-alt-esc but that doesn't work here [11:20] kerny: we are going around in circles [11:20] ok [11:20] start at the beginning [11:20] I also had a feeling that ctrl-esc usually brought up a process table but that doesn't work either [11:20] kerny: please consider using an operating system (windows) that has full support for your card. [11:21] so I can't use it? [11:21] passbe: very strange. Sorry i'm unable to continue with you. If you do not get it solved come back sometime around now tomorrow :) [11:21] kerny, we're not saying you can't [11:21] kerny: I dind't say that, but you seem unable to follow things through to the required effort to get things working on this level of supported hardware [11:21] crweb: thx for your help anyways [11:21] kerny: or ebay the card and buy another which is known to be supported [11:21] kerny: where as windows I suspect it will work out of the box [11:21] crweb: atleast ubuntu recognises it straight away [11:21] I can get it working [11:21] a step forward [11:21] I'll try and do it [11:21] just give me instructions [11:22] please [11:22] kerny: no [11:22] kerny: it's not a matter of giving instructions [11:22] kerny: 1.) you don't listen 2.) you don't understand 3.) your not at alevel where you understand what your doing [11:22] ikonia: When has windows worked "out of the box", never, always have to faff around with driver discs. [11:22] true [11:22] Cap_J_L_Picard: there is a supported drive on windows, that is out of the box [11:23] ok so I have to install the kernel source to install modules [11:23] please tell me the apt-get command to get the kernel source please [11:23] I read above [11:23] kerny: as far as the ubuntu kernel is concerned there is a partially compatible driver available (from what I've read) or a 3rd party module that is not supported, nor anything to do with ubuntu, so this channel has nothing to do with it [11:23] ok. Thank you all fr the help. [11:23] kerny: magnetron has sent you a link 3 times detailing information on the kernel, its source and how to build. [11:24] !kernel > kerny [11:24] calc question: How do u split a worksheet so that the alignments of columns on the top half is different to the sizings of the bottom half (possible in excel). [11:24] ?? [11:24] dmg46664: you may get better support in the open office irc channel [11:24] does tightvnc server come with the ubuntu installation disk ? [11:25] can i configure evolution handle web based email like yahoo or hotmail? [11:25] dmg46664: or soemone in here may know [11:25] gvsa123: yahoo has a pop3 service, as does hotmail, but I think you have to pay for hotmail [11:25] I just enabled compiz-fusion, and to make it work like I want I need to enable the driver for my graphics card. However, when I go to do so, it doesn't let me. Anyone know why? [11:25] ikonia: In some cases you have to pay for yahos. [11:25] Budda|: define "won't let me" [11:25] hi all. I like unistall SAMBA and reinstall cause dont work well. I would like restart. it's possible with SynapticPackageManager? thank you. [11:25] Cap_J_L_Picard: thank you [11:25] ikonia: so that means it's not possible? [11:25] ikonia: Sec... [11:26] maxsoft: uninstalling and re-installing won't fix anything [11:26] gvsa123: no, evolution will work with pop3 accounts, but you have to pay hotmail/yahoo to enable pop3 access for your account [11:26] Hey all I was wondering if anyone who used tf-b4rt along with azureus could help me. I am getting errors on private trackers which seems to be the result of bit tornado so I installed azureus then I try and run a torrent and I get the error. fluazu not running and I dont know where to go from here! [11:26] ikonia: thank you. do you know how to reinstall the defautl configuration file? [11:26] ikonia: I click Enable Driver, then I get a response "The package for driver nvidia-new is not enabled" [11:26] maxsoft: ahhh the default configuration file, apologies, yes a package re-install is the best for that. My mistake [11:27] thank you. [11:27] Budda|: have you got the non-free repo's enabled in system ->administration -> software sources [11:27] ikonia: i see... thanks... i better read on different types of email accounts then... would you care to give me a quick description of them? [11:27] sec [11:27] gvsa123: not really [11:27] ikonia: lol... thanks still... [11:27] gvsa123: welcome [11:28] how can I defrag a vfat partition? [11:28] maxsoft: you could try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure samba" and see if that does it [11:28] whois GpoNsU [11:28] VSpike: thank you very much. [11:28] I try [11:28] dooglus: I'm not sure if you have to use a windows tool for vfat framention, one moment [11:28] dooglus, do it from Windows [11:28] ikonia: Still doesn't work [11:29] kbrooks: I don't know how. Windows is all in a foreign language. [11:29] dooglus: you should be able to fsck it [11:29] ikonia: it's not fsck'ed, just fragmented [11:29] Budda|: please show me the output of "apt-cache search nvidia" [11:29] dooglus: thats as far as the linux tools will allow you to go [11:29] ikonia: fsck won't defrag a volume, just sanity check it [11:29] dooglus: I know this === max797 is now known as max [11:30] hmm [11:30] this is nice. [11:30] "desktop effects could not be enabled" [11:30] why Samba is not an UBUNTU software? is it not secure? [11:30] with an 8800gts, running nvidia driver. [11:30] sigh. [11:30] ikonia: so I need to buy a copy of windows? that's kind of weak [11:30] maxsoft: samba is in ubuntu's software repo's [11:30] If I install windows over linux, how do I get grub back so I can dual boot? [11:30] dooglus: your using a windows file system, not really weak [11:30] !grub >kerny [11:30] hmm [11:31] emerald core dumps. [11:31] hello, i need plz help, when i typed on the terminial : sudo apt-get install tightvnc . i get an error msg : E: could'nt find package tightvnc ? [11:31] ikonia: it's not a windows filesystem - it predates windows [11:31] Guest16155: that package doesn't exist [11:31] ikonia: Still doesn't work [11:31] dooglus: ok, a prodominatly microsoft based file system. Does that make it a little better [11:31] Guest16155: sudo aptitude search vnc [11:31] Budda|: I didn't say it would work, I asked you for the output of apt-cache search nvidia-new [11:31] ikonia: it's an ISO standard filesystem isn't it? [11:32] dooglus: no idea [11:32] hmm [11:32] i guess compiz hates xinerama [11:32] dooglus: the bottom line is linux doesn't have tools to defrag it [11:32] ikonia: I was told that it's well supported by both windows and ubuntu - that's why I used it. now I find it is getting incredibly slow due to fragmentation [11:32] the bottom line is that ext3 is not BS like ntfs so doesn't need degrag [11:32] *defrag [11:32] dooglus: its supported for read / write access in linux [11:32] dooglus: thats as far as it goes really [11:33] dooglus: its a very limited file system [11:33] ikonia: that is all I use it for, read and write in linux, yet it is becoming slower and slower [11:33] what file system is best for mdadm raid5? [11:33] dooglus: because its fragmented [11:33] ikonia: no output? [11:33] earlmred: doesn't matter [11:33] Budda|: you got zero lines of output [11:33] i installed the tightvnc server package how can i know whice port the vnc is using ? [11:34] MS used to say that NTFS didn't need defgragging [11:34] hi, i installed 7.10 tonight and the install went fine, but when i went to boot up for the fist time it loads grub then says "error: 22 no such partition" how can i fix this? [11:34] Budda|: you are using ubuntu 7.10 [11:34] ubuntu_ how many hard drives are in your machine? [11:34] 2 [11:34] Guest16155: look in the configuration file [11:34] ubuntu_ using both for 7.10, or just one? [11:35] no OS on the other [11:35] my memory sticks, camera, ipod also use vfat format. [11:35] ikonia: what is the loacation of the configuaration file ? [11:35] its just for storage [11:35] Guest16155: no idea [11:35] Guest16155: /etc/$somewhere [11:35] ubuntu_ i had the same problem earlier tonight, i had to unplug my 4 other sata drives and pull out my ide raid card before grub would boot properly =\ [11:35] ubuntu_ and reinstall grub. [11:35] hello all, i've notived that wen im watching tv with tvtime cu usage is very high, but when i minimize it cpu usage drops, is that normal [11:35] ubuntu_: grub has probably installed to the wrong drive [11:35] how do you set up apps to be ran at startup? [11:35] earlmred: my main drive is sata and the slave is IDE, if that helps any [11:36] eyemean: yes, no on-screeen rendering is needed [11:36] i have radeon 9550 , 1.7GHz cpu, 1Gig ram [11:36] well how can i get it to install to the correct one [11:36] ubuntu_ grub probably installed on your IDE drive or something [11:36] ubuntu_: you have 2 drives yes ? [11:36] !tightvnc [11:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about tightvnc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:36] ok thanx ikonia [11:36] when i go to edit it in grub it says the drive is (hd1,1) but my sata is sdb2 i believe [11:36] hi guys [11:36] ubuntu_ boot off the rescue cd and choose boot off first hard drive [11:36] Guest16155: tightvnc [11:36] ??? [11:36] is like. [11:36] ubuntu_: grud addresses drives differently [11:36] earlmred: i get the same thing, ive tried that [11:36] Budda|: you are using ubuntu 7.10 yes ? [11:37] a program name [11:37] ubuntu_ hmm, that worked for me. [11:37] its like saying winscp [11:37] it uses a common protocol [11:37] ikonia, is that the same for every tv software? [11:37] ubuntu_ disable your ide drive in the bios and see if you get grub, if not, you know it installed grub on the ide drive [11:37] eyemean: for anything visual, it if has to actually "show" something thats harder work than "not showing" something [11:37] you just need a client [11:37] earlmred: ill restart and try that [11:38] how do you set up apps to be ran at startup? [11:38] Stevethepirate avast! [11:38] Richard51684 in X or services or ? [11:38] sweet michael vick is getting sentenced today. [11:38] i don't know, im not very good with linux [11:38] does someone know where is the configuration file of tightvnc server ? [11:38] ikonia, ok thanx for letting me know, cheers [11:38] i just want specific apps like firefox for eg. to load at startup [11:39] Richard51684 http://www.howtoforge.com/make-desktop-applications-start-automatically-gnome [11:39] thanks [11:40] whats the name of compiz-fusion settings manager? [11:40] In which package does SSHD comes? [11:41] gaurish: openssh-server [11:41] whats the name of compiz-fusion settings manager? [11:41] gaurish: the ssh package [11:41] yes [11:42] gaurish: it's named --h [11:42] ss [11:42] magnetron: its openssh-server for sshd [11:42] ikonia: Did you suggest anything while I was lagging out? [11:42] ikonia: ssh works as well [11:43] hi all. can you suggest me a GUI GTK for SAMBA? [11:43] mamagnetron so it does, thats an excellent addition [11:44] maxsoft: swat is the only real config tool [11:44] ikonia: Any ideas on how I can get my graphics card working on ubuntu? [11:44] ikonia, should a website have the same effect? high cpu usage [11:44] for very low values of "config! [11:44] eyemean: depends on the content, flash for example, yes [11:45] Budda1: yes, show me the results of apt-cache search nvidia-new [11:45] thank you all [11:45] if i post the site can u see if you have the same effect? or is that against the rules here? [11:46] eyemean: why, my system is different, so it's a pointless test [11:46] hey all [11:46] ikonia, oh ok, lol [11:46] I am about to kill something [11:46] hmmm... is there a basket notepads alternative for gnome? [11:47] wersdaluv: "basket notepad"? please elaborate, i don't understand [11:47] I'm getting an error when I './configure' a source.. says gtk2.0 isn't met.. and I'm pretty sure I installed it.. could this be a problem in a path? how would I check where gtk2.0 is? [11:47] basket notepads, the KDE app [11:47] para_dox: gtk maybe installed, it may be looking for headers or libaries [11:47] the amazing kde app [11:48] ikonia- is there a quick way to reinstall it all? with headers/all libraries? [11:48] para_dox: what are you building ? [11:48] para_dox: to compile, you need the gtk2-dev [11:48] gmudix-1.0 [11:48] ooh the mud client [11:49] heh.. yeah I'm one of those :P [11:49] para_dox: have you tried gnome-mud ? and gmoo ? [11:49] I prefer gmudix scripting personally [11:49] I had it working a few months ago.. I think I had this exact same problem.. forget how I fixed it [11:49] course, I was on FC5 then I think [11:49] para_dox: sure, just offering you a supported altnernative. download the gtk-dev and lib packages [11:49] ok, I'll try that first.. thanks for the help [11:52] I am about to kill something === Budda is now known as Budda| [11:52] sweet, you rock ikonia :P [11:52] Budda: I've attempted to assist you to debug, but you keep ignoreing it [11:52] para_dox: your welcome [11:52] I didn't figure I needed the -dev one [11:52] ikonia: I'm not ignoring it [11:52] I never see the messages [11:53] I'm back on Windows now [11:53] Budda|: so what is the output from the commands I've asked you to run 3 times [11:53] is that a general way to fix dependency issues if I know I have the package installed? always install the -dev ? [11:53] Budda|: then I'm unable to help you if you are on windows [11:53] para_dox: the -dev packages normall contain development requirements such as headers [11:53] ikonia: The command I _did_ see, I ran, and there was no output [11:53] Budda|: ok, then we need to check your software sources [11:54] hayyy!!!!!! [11:54] How would I do that? [11:54] earlmred: i think it did like you said and just installed to the IDE and not the SATA drive [11:54] how can i install grub to the SATA? [11:54] boleh kenalan g??? [11:54] Budda|: give me a shout when you back on linux [11:54] Also, is there a way to install a better driver for my wireless card, it keeps randomly disconnecting me from my network while on ubuntu [11:54] Budda|: thats all in the same thing potentially [11:55] Ugh [11:55] armyboy: english might work better [11:55] Alright, I'll try linux again, but if the network card fucks up one more time, I think I might smash my screen [11:55] brb [11:55] Budda|: wait [11:55] ubuntu_, http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/ [11:55] ?

[13:06] aniac: join #bash [13:06] i think it's easy but don't know anything about scripting yet... [13:07] aniac: man find [13:07] aniac: and read the bash basics on http://www.tldp.org [13:07] aniac: you could rely on the fact that 'rmdir' won't delete dirs which aren't empty: find . -type d -exec rmdir {} ';' [13:07] aniac: if you don't need recursion, a simple "rmdir *" will do === asda is now known as supaneko [13:08] aniac: I wouldn't suggest using bash scripting though - find is sufficient [13:09] dooglus I need recursion because some subdirs may have other subdirs.. [13:09] me4u sudo apt-get install edubuntu-artwork and you will have the theme > iknoia don`t know about google [13:09] thnks for your help! [13:09] aniac: right. you might want to use -depth too, so it does the deepest dirs first [13:10] aniac: see 'man find' for details [13:10] ok, thanks ;) [13:10] dooglus, thanks dude. rena makes my life alot easier ... :-) [13:11] how do I change a user's defualt session type? [13:11] anyone Nvidia 169.04 kernel 2.6.24 tested ?! [13:11] aniac: the question is: if directory 'a' contains only directory 'b', and directory 'b' is empty, do you want both 'a' and 'b' deleted? or only 'b'? 'a' isn't empty, but it will be once you delete 'b' [13:11] StrictProduction: that is nothing to do with ubuntu, please take this to a more appropriate place [13:11] thanx StrictProduction [13:11] I did a apt-get upgrade and it broke htop, getting Stack smashing detected warnings, any idea's how to fix this ? [13:12] babo: I use GNU Emacs and wdired mode with TRAMP.

[13:12] dooglus in fact I want only directories whitch contain files not to be deleted... [13:12] StrictProduction: pardon ?

[13:14] babo: did you see wdired mode? [13:14] Does ubuntu support Turbocache? [13:14] ok i see i go to ubuntu+1 [13:14] Like. well? [13:14] ;) [13:14] aniac: you need find -depth then - so it deletes the deepest dir before looking at the parent [13:14] StrictProduction: not ubuntu+1 [13:14] babo: (define-key dired-mode-map "r" (quote wdired-change-to-wdired-mode)) [13:14] StrictProduction: ubuntu-offtopic for non-ubuntu chatter [13:14] hmmm ok, I'll look also at the man, thanks ! ;) [13:15] ikonia looks you are paid to say that [13:15] robotic language [13:15] birocratic [13:15] What the floop [13:15] [13:15] Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100 [Included in Price] [13:15] [13:15] [13:15] 128MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS [subtract R43,604.00] [13:15] StrictProduction: I'm not paid at all, I'm directing you to the correct place [13:15] [13:15] [13:15] 256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600M GT [subtract R43,184.00] [13:15] oops [13:16] Soz.

I just figured I'd give this channel you posted a shot [13:28] thx [13:28] dooglus: it doesnt show them [13:29] no i cant be on dhcp bcos my cablenet uses static ips [13:29] udinesh5: ok then, gnomebaker --help [13:29] dooglus: lemme try [13:29] wroklife: your cable may, but your router may require dhcp [13:29] udinesh5: I don't know why the GNOME programs generally don't have manual pages like everything else [13:30] ikonia: i tried with dhcp but my lan is connected thru switches so it definately requires a static ip [13:31] wroklife:you have no router ? [13:31] dooglus: yep only help options n appl options [13:31] dooglas:no other stuff [13:31] udinesh5: there's nothing under 'help options' about how to display all the options? [13:32] dont know man i am newbie to this.....but i cant get to router either [13:32] dooglas: yes [13:32] wroklife: your router has a static ip, but your workstataions may need dhcp asssigned addresses from your router [13:32] dooglas: no options there [13:32] wroklife: if you can't get to your router though your network setup is wrong [13:32] udinesh5: what are you looking for? [13:33] dooglas: i was looking for commandline options so tat i could specify all cd writing job jus keying in [13:33] dooglas: nothing specific other than trying to use commandline interface [13:33] udinesh5: I don't think GNOME applications are supposed to be very useful - they're for newbies moving from Windows who like things to click on. there are command line cd burning programs if that's what you're looking for [13:33] ikonia: ok but i have been given a gateway and have a php webpage to authenticate my cablenet account.. and else nothing just subnet mask and a static ip... cos if i change my ip i get problems with connecting during authentication itself [13:34] wroklife: that should be setup on the router, not your workstation [13:34] udinesh5: look at 'cdrecord' for instance [13:34] ikonia am i allowed to help people? it seems I still have a lot to learn.. [13:34] dooglas: yep i am a newbie jus trying to move on to linux ! i am using ubuntu dapper [13:34] no no its my workstation setup [13:34] suno6ba6a: if you know the answers, of course help [13:35] dooglas: sure ! [13:35] wroklife: contact your isp then, as thats an unusual setup [13:35] udinesh5: type "man cdrecord" in a terminal and it will give you more options than you want :) [13:35] ikonia: ok thnx [13:35] dooglus: thanx dude !:-) [13:36] dooglus:logging off bye :-) [13:36] udinesh5: bye === udinesh5 is now known as dinesh86 === root is now known as root__ [13:37] !rootirc > root__ (root__, see the private message from Ubotu) === root__ is now known as root_ [13:38] how to ask ubotu? can any one learn me !!

[13:41] /msg NickServ IDENTIFY [13:41] huss: try without leading spaces, and with an actual password [13:41] mbl: does your hardware support hot swap ? [13:41] yes, it should [13:41] mbl: does it though, not "it should" [13:42] promise tx2300 sata-ctrl and sata2 drives in a bay [13:42] mbl: I've not seen a promise controller that supports hot swap [13:42] ? [13:42] is says so in the manual [13:42] hang on === suno6ba6a is now known as sunogbaga [13:43] mbl: the manual suggests the hot swap functionaly is driver dependant, not hardware enabled [13:44] could anyone tell me how to ask ubotu ? [13:44] huss_: you've been told [13:44] ikonia: where does it suggest this? [13:44] http://www.promise.com/marketing/datasheet/file/FT_TX2300_DS091406.pdf [13:45] anyone know the name of the program that is compatible with teamspeak servers/ventrillo servers ? [13:46] Ximal: isn't there a team speak client for linux ? [13:47] aye .... i have it... but the inpute and other stuff is erronous [13:47] i figured a linux built native program be best.. [13:47] ikonia, I'm sorry I couldn't read it [13:48] !boot [13:48] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [13:48] is it better to use Opera with WINE a windows opera or a ubuntu opera ? [13:48] abdulla: wine uses windows executables only [13:48] because opera in ubuntu is very weird some times the video just greys out and i must refresh the page to start fromt he start [13:49] i hope they update and fix this problem . [13:49] ikonia: where did you find the information about the driver dependancy? [13:49] mbl: google [13:49] mbl: the driver is not open source [13:49] mbl: you'll need to use the promise propritary driver to get functionality [13:49] btw ikonia is ATI x1800 ok for ubuntu ? i have a geforce4 mx440 somewere ? which you recommend? [13:49] mbl: it's basiclly a form of fake raid for what I'm reading [13:50] abdulla: personal preference always makes me lean towards nvidia for the moment [13:50] why do wine hang up my desktop ? and also cxoffice [13:50] ok I've copied audiere to a directory and did a ./configure, make and make install.. where is the linkage? [13:50] ikonia: i don't need the raid features though, just hot swapping [13:50] drarem: linkage ? [13:50] the mx440 is 64mb lo [13:50] mbl: the hotswap is part of the raid [13:50] isnt 512mb better? [13:50] mbl: as I read it [13:50] the audiere library I need to link to [13:50] drarem: link to it ? you specificed an install tree in ./configure [13:50] hello, i am ooking for a font that looks like the letters the Military uses for a spraying project, but cannot find anything under Military Font [13:51] any suggestions [13:51] ikonia, but if i start ubuntu with the x1800 will it work? i mean xgl aswell [13:51] abdulla: debatable [13:51] :( [13:51] ikonia: i found various different information on that...but no one ever seemed to have tried it actually [13:51] mbl: I don't think it will work [13:51] mbl: the advanced functions seem driver dependant [13:51] mbl: promise make weak controllers for raid/raid functions [13:52] ikonia, can i use mx440 then after somewhat ubuntu figures out something for ATI cards then i remove the nvidia and put the ATI will the system recognize such steps ? [13:52] abdulla: sure === max825 is now known as max [13:52] ikonia: yes but great for limited bugeds normally [13:52] mbl: I disagree [13:53] ikonia: could you suggest a goood controller supporting hotswap under ubuntu? two channels would be enough... [13:53] mbl: not of the top of my head, but anything with native linux support is good [13:53] wine and cxoffice always hang up my ubuntu do anyone know why? [13:53] hi [13:53] huss_ low mem i guess [13:53] sunogbaga: why ? [13:54] ok anyone can help? video playback is too dark in every program and i dont know how to fix it [13:54] If i have a laptop with Turbocache memory... will Ubuntu support that at all? [13:54] how much ram do you have? and how many apps do u usually run at the same time? [13:54] ikonia: native linux support is not that wide spread in the low buged [13:54] mbl: true [13:54] Well, 2gig ddr2-667 and 1gig turbocache [13:54] how do I type special characters with ubuntu? Holding the alt key does not work [13:55] sunogbaga, 1 giga I don't think so ,or what do u mean wz mem [13:55] But i'm talking about wining games for example. [13:55] anyone can help?i'm a beginner,who can tell me how to use wine? [13:55] 5 [13:55] ikonia, does ubuntu use more power? because my laptop heats quick and loses alot of battery power [13:55] abdulla: shouldn't [13:55] zhn: google can.. or #wine [13:55] zhn: /join #winehq [13:55] zhn just wine [13:55] ikonia: you haven't built the promise driver for linux, have you? [13:55] abdulla: more than what? [13:55] ikonia, ?what you guessing? [13:55] I have a while ago [13:55] 5??what does it mean? [13:56] abdulla: no, it shouldn't use more power [13:56] wols_, my 3 hour battery dies in 1 hour 20minutes === Numarul7 is now known as StrictProcution [13:56] does anyone know about video playback being too dark and not ebing able to fix it === StrictProcution is now known as StrictProduction [13:56] abdulla: answer my question [13:56] wols_, with windows it stays for 3 hours [13:56] iconia: because there is just one file in the package containing c code...no readme, no manual... [13:56] jarryd: Which program? How have you tried to fix it? [13:57] mbl: not done it for a while, as I recall they have a support mailing list [13:57] every video playback VLC and totem [13:57] good mornign all [13:57] mbl: is it just a .c file ? [13:57] how to install fluxbox on ubuntu [13:57] ? [13:57] sudp apt-get install fluxbox [13:57] wols_, the system heats up and i can feel under the laptop its very hot + laptop battery doesnt stay long as it should [13:57] sudo* [13:57] and i tried to fix it by installing gxvattr but it doesnt remember any settings [13:57] sudo apt-get install fluxbox [13:57] jarryd: In preferences in Totem you can change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, didn't that work? [13:58] well i can try [13:58] but the native setting is to dark [13:58] abdulla: check if your acpi works, if the cpu clocks down,etc [13:58] ikonia: the file's name acualle is "1_ft tx2300 and tx2200 linux kernel 2.6 psc v.2.6.0331-2" [13:58] abdulla: well. linux does cache a lot more, and more efficiently than windows. [13:58] abdulla: kol khara [13:58] abdulla: use powertop [13:58] anyone can help?i'm a beginner,who can tell me how to use wine? [13:58] so it could be over caching. [13:58] i have that [13:58] cant i fix that since i belive its not the playback programs but the acutal video card [13:58] or driver or something [13:58] good that you have it [13:58] zhn just wine [13:58] zhn: type "/join #wine" and ask in there. [13:59] sunogbaga: he probably wants to wine a game. [13:59] that's quite new [13:59] Zemp_, I did but that fluxbox is so hard to use and I've seen it so easy wz some friend so what is that deference? [13:59] wols_, acpi ? what you mean [13:59] jarryd: I don't know, you could check if you have the latest drivers for your video card, but why not just change the settings in Totem? [13:59] !acpi [13:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:59] yeah i didnt realize that chaning it in totem would affect VLC too [13:59] that worked [14:00] thanks! [14:00] my sound isn't working.. any suggestions on where to start? .. it was working before.. then just stopped... also.. i have 2 sound cards and i'd like to have both working [14:00] somebody said acpi was Advanced Configuration and Power Interface -- a power management interface that gives more control to the BIOS, or horribly horribly broken. for suspend software check http://sourceforge.net/projects/swsusp/ , or "run this arbitrary code in ring 0", or http://acpi.sf.net/, or generally better than APM but see also swsusp, or for a list of [14:00] supported systems/BIOSes, see http://acpi.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/InstallationReports [14:00] !sudo [14:00] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [14:00] wols_, in powertop this what it says cond : 208.0 interval: 15.0s [14:00] no ACPI power usage estimate available [14:00] ikonia: sorry, my fault, i extracted the file the wrong way [14:00] ikonia: there is a readme [14:00] how do I do recursive chmod in ftp in terminal? [14:01] wols_, should i remove the adapter to see how it is in battery mode? [14:01] how do you send private on IRC ? [14:01] ikonia: I will give it a try, thank you so far! [14:01] use /query nickname [14:01] ok thanks.

[14:03] huss_: no [14:03] best bet is backup your /home and then do a fresh install [14:03] heihei [14:04] wo de lp [14:04] 我的老婆不要我了 [14:04] what is the deference between ubuntu and debian ? [14:04] !debian | huss_ [14:04] huss_: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [14:04] huss_: debian hasn't got as many U's in the name [14:05] Howdy [14:06] got any Lineage 2 players here? [14:06] hello [14:06] How are you? [14:06] pici, yes debian is it .....!! [14:06] any hints on where to start looking if my sound isn't working? [14:07] zarac: speakers plugged in? [14:07] ;-) [14:07] yes they are [14:07] =D [14:07] mixer not muted? [14:07] it was working abefore.. i dunno what happened.. the computer speaker does its beep instead [14:07] not muted [14:08] =/ [14:09] a question: my computer just crashed and I was editing a text in gedit. does gedit maybe have a file where i could recover the text i was editing? [14:09] can any one help me get my webcam working? [14:10] 'speaker-test -t wav -c 2' gives me no sound [14:10] zarac, if its a PC try to plug the speaker cord to the motherboard built in sound card rather then PCI card [14:10] i have a problem with ubuntu http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47685/ [14:11] dakira look for swap files... vim always do that [14:11] hmm i guess.. i haven't actually tried that.. i have 2 cards.. and i want both working.. i don't think the internal one is even installed though [14:11] i am trying to start a new ad-hoc network [14:11] actually i have tried it =D got both speakers on [14:11] >=D [14:12] zarac, but you still want to use PCI card right> [14:12] does anyone have evolution 2.21 running on gutsy? [14:12] yes i do.. and the internal one [14:12] i want both working [14:12] at the time.. neither works [14:12] sunogbaga: yeah.. joe does it, too.. gedit apparently doesn't ;( [14:12] zarac, you mean neither one works right now? [14:13] exactly =D [14:13] with My PC sometimes it works on the internet sometimes on the PCI , in every restart it chooses what it wants lol [14:13] dakira too bad then.. [14:13] dakira: thought it did something like .filename~ [14:13] Anyone play any pc games? [14:13] Daeshim mines [14:14] Daeshim, yes we do !!! LINUX GAMES 4 EVA [14:14] abdulla: calm down [14:14] hi ! [14:14] jrib: it does that only if you overwrite a file with a new version [14:14] Daeshim, QuakeWorld , Quake2 , Quake3 , Quake4 , Doom3 , ... [14:14] nothing is muted.. and no sound =/ [14:14] dakira: ah [14:14] Sweet [14:14] I play Lineage 2 [14:14] I have an Ubuntu box that I installed MythTV on, but cannot get to work properly. The Capture card is a SiliconDust HDHomerun. I can get it to stream to VLC fine, but have problems with the stream on Myth. I think it is a decoding problem, as a approx 4:3 box is filled with random colors when I attempt to stream. Any suggestions? [14:14] It's not cartoonish like WoW is [14:14] Hello someone can tell me how to set a my own vhost for a psyBNC i run the psybnc from my own box and i have domain can someone tell me a ? [14:15] is there some simple way to mount a smb share and have access to it via a console ? [14:15] stefko: DNS [14:15] Daeshim, i might go back to PoQo [14:15] stefano: reverse dns or use ipv6 tunnel [14:15] Daeshim, Prince of Qin Online [14:15] neko_: mount -t smbfs [14:15] stefko: [14:15] neko_: yes, no problem, just mount as a normal file system and access through the directory structure [14:15] wrong person [14:15] okey no other way so [14:15] bash: DNS: command not found [14:15] :S [14:15] like /dns storm.mkhost.org [14:15] on the psybnc [14:15] stefko: dns is not a command [14:16] VHOST [14:16] ohh [14:16] ikonia, can Ubuntu be installed in PS3 or Nintendo Wii or Xbox or Xbox360? [14:16] so have some commands ? [14:16] stefko: DNS is the domain name system. you have to enter it with your DNS server [14:16] i will make me some little script to mount this it seem a good solution [14:16] abdulla: an ps3 but its is very limited [14:16] limiteed? [14:16] If you are on residental connections reverse dns won't be possible because most isps won't allow it [14:16] wols_: aha so how i can set it a ? [14:16] stefko: there is no command unless you serve your own DNS which is unlikely [14:16] when I boot my system the first line I see is "pci bios bug" [14:16] you would be better off finding an ipv6 tunnel broker [14:16] how come not the xbox :9 [14:16] limited yes, very little direct hardware access [14:16] is that normall? [14:16] abdulla: not compatible [14:17] stefko: same way you set the DNS for mkhost.org [14:17] yes [14:17] ikonia, is Ubuntu releasing a UbuntU mobile edition any time soon? [14:17] hi i just installed gutsy and tried to install flash plugin for firefox. when i did the command in terminal. Can someone tell me if this is normal? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47686/ if so then why is firefox telling me i need to install the plugin when i go somewhere like youtube? [14:17] try dns /dns inqognito.com [14:17] this one is the SITE [14:17] i have just domain [14:17] nothing else [14:17] and psybnc [14:17] and i want to make a vhost my own [14:17] can i do that ? [14:18] what do you mean with "vhost"? [14:18] abdulla: there is a mobile edition, or "embedded edition" I'm not sure of it's current release statment [14:18] /whois stefko [14:18] abdulla: release status sorry [14:18] <_ruben> stefko: no, unless you have some spare unused ip addresses you could use for it [14:18] * [stefko] (n=stefko@79.126.193.181): stefko [14:18] The IP [14:18] ikonia, for Mini-Tablets or iphone and imate .. and maybe the new system phones or ZeuX Microsoft mp3 player . [14:18] rinaldi_ flashplugin-nonfree is broken., righ ikonia? [14:18] stefko: fix your reverse dns [14:18] sunogbaga corry [14:18] wols_: where to go ? [14:18] :/ [14:18] abdulla: thats the idea [14:18] stefko: again, your DNS server [14:18] sunogbaga: sorry, ses [14:18] sunogbaga: yes [14:19] stefko: DOMAINCONTROL.COM [14:19] inqognito.com has address 208.109.181.171 [14:19] u see [14:19] i have just domain [14:19] nothing else [14:19] :S [14:19] hey stefko [14:19] sunogbaga: well i had it working in my last installation but i did a reinstall, should i have installed anythiing else or should i just do gnash [14:19] stefko: I told you where to go [14:19] rinaldi_: the flash plugin currenlt has an installation issue that is being fixed [14:19] wols_: where ? system > application a ? [14:19] user have no right to mount smbfs share :( [14:20] stefko: not on your ubuntu at all [14:20] <_ruben> stefko: if all you got is a domain, then you cant make a vhost with it [14:20] ikonia: ok thanks [14:20] wols_: so where ? [14:20] sorry [14:20] i mean ikonia or wols [14:20] You only have forward dns [14:20] stefko: for the LAST time: to your DNS provider which is domaincontrol.com apparently [14:20] not reverse [14:20] neko_: use sudo [14:20] So it can't reverse to your hostname [14:20] Hey, I was messing around with some boot splash stuff... Now I'm getting this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47687/ on startup... Any ideas as to how I can get rid of it? [14:20] neko_: use sudo [14:21] ah damn i would have a script to automate this [14:21] gksudo is the way ? [14:21] ikonia, are you a webdesigner [14:21] mnemonica: you've meessed up your "vga" option as a kernel boot argument [14:21] abdulla: no [14:21] neko_: gksudo is not terminal or commandline. I said sudo [14:21] ikonia: Mmmmk... So how do I fix that? [14:21] mnemonica: you could try vga=ask to find the correct option through trial and error [14:22] ikonia: Well, when I choose one it just changes the font or whatever and then loads. Every time I boot. If I do vga=ask, will that "solve" it, or just help figure out what's wrong? [14:23] a good Hardware RAID card for linux, anybody has an advice? [14:23] mnemonica: what's wrong is y ou have the wrong option, ask will give you trial and error to work out the right option [14:23] bentob0x: get an expensive one.. those are usually good =) [14:23] bentob0x: 3ware [14:23] bentob0x: any true hardware card with a native linux driver, expect to pay a minimum of $350 [14:23] ikonia: Hmmf. Ok. I'll be back. [14:23] <_ruben> bentob0x: software raid outperforms most hardware raid controllers, unlike you put down some major bucks [14:23] bentob0x: 3ware or lsi [14:24] does ubuntu work good on mac? [14:24] SmoothOp: yes, a mac is just an intel pc now [14:24] i realize that [14:24] yes I don't want fake/software raid [14:24] why doesnt :colorscheme work on ubuntu? [14:24] bentob0x: softrware raid (not fake raid) is excellent [14:24] I don't mind paying > 300EUR , it's for a server [14:24] SmoothOp, on mac some things are difficult... [14:24] Sorr, :colorscheme on vim [14:24] hey guys any ideas on how to get sudo rake to work ? [14:25] depends on which card then ikonia [14:25] <_ruben> praveer_fedora: sudo apt-get install vim (the default (vim-tiny) is rather limited) [14:25] _ruben, ok thank you [14:25] bentob0x: get a reliable brand name.. one you know will be around as long as you use the raid-card.. it's quite upsetting to have a dead raid-card you can't replace and tons of data you can't get to any more.. [14:25] bentob0x: 9/10 it will be stunning as long as there is basic jbod support [14:25] hey, it seems like most of the software in the repositories are outdated (there are new versions coming out and the repos versions aren't updated). whats the best way to update these software? [14:25] i've been usually compiling from source [14:26] ikonia: depends on the kind of server, if simple fileserver or DB server [14:26] it's for raid 0+1 [14:26] _ruben where can we get this software? [14:26] buntu-pl [14:26] wols_: yes, certainly [14:26] ikonia: you don't want to run software raid on a DB server [14:26] #Ubuntu-pl [14:26] wols_: I have done it without issue in the past, but the users need is key [14:26] sake: /join #ubuntu-pl [14:26] ikonia: and the budget [14:26] rico: actually the thing is that ubuntu stays with stable builds and doesn't update everytime a program upgrades to a newer version [14:26] very key [14:27] rico: wait until there is a new version of ubuntu?.. compiling and installing software yourself kind of breaks the idea of having a software repository === cron_ is now known as cron [14:27] ikonia: Hey... Tried to put vga=ask, but it won't let me. It's only allowing four characters. So I get to vga= and then what I type doesn't actually enter on screen. [14:27] hello [14:27] mnemonica: where are you putting that [14:27] mnemonica: where do you type this exactly? [14:28] ikonia: where it was asking me to an option.

[14:29] well sudoing mount a folder is cool but well, the user have no right on the mounted folder [14:29] ikonia: Like, in the pastebin, after the Video adapter: VESA VGA part and all of the options, it asks me to select an option [14:29] Guest16155: sudo apt-get remove vncserver? [14:29] (sorry for my english) [14:30] Guest16155: you've been told before a few times now [14:30] apt-get remove [14:30] Guest16155: use synaptic, search it and remove it completely [14:30] neko_: put the share in your fstab and give it the option "users" [14:30] that's the way i already knwo [14:31] anyone use nicotine [14:31] ?

Also see !patience [14:32] oh so you dont want to install nothing [14:32] okey and if the share is not accessible [14:32] neko_: then it should be ok for normal users [14:32] dinesh86, use partition magic [14:32] it will not go mad ? [14:32] i did "sudo apt-get remove vncserver" but still when i typed on the terminal "vncserver" it still exists ? [14:32] no need [14:32] hello, I'm having trouble connecting to my work's vpn, it's over PPTP and I've installed the networkmanager-pptp extension, I can create the profile for the VPN connection but I can't find a place to tell the computer to connect [14:32] neko_: if the share isn't available, it just won't mount it [14:32] because in the past i did this go in loop [14:33] abdulla: i want to edit grub info now [14:33] neko_: it might wait for a while to see if it comes up [14:33] i give it a try [14:33] !parition [14:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about parition - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:33] Guest16155 how do you know it exists? [14:33] Guest16155: perhaps it's not "vncserver" that you have installed but another package providing that? [14:33] gordonjcp: without "auto" it won't even try as it should be [14:33] !partition [14:33] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [14:33] again if it doesn't make the whole system go silly [14:33] Guest16155: try « dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncserver » [14:33] Guest16155: dpkg -l |grep vncserver [14:33] !diskmounter [14:33] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [14:33] thanks for the advice [14:33] guys [14:33] dinesh86, !partition [14:33] hello [14:34] u there abdulla ?

[14:34] Guest16155: please run dpkg -l |grep vncserver [14:34] i am using ubuntu live cd now [14:34] he wants to edit partitions maybe he needs more space in windows or dunno. [14:35] i want to edit the grub info using live cd [14:35] wols_: that's not necessarily the best way, since for instance "vncserver" is also provided by "vnc4server" [14:35] dinesh86 It seems u don't need help on partitioning anymore === dphillips is now known as DSpair [14:35] LjL: i get this msg : dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncserver [14:36] yes suno, i want to edit my grub using live cd [14:36] can i ? [14:36] i have a program which runs in the taskbar but i want it to show an icon up in the system tray so i can hide it any ideas ? [14:36] Guest16155: message? that's the *command* you typed, isn't it [14:36] hello there [14:36] dinesh86: yes. what exactly do you want to do? [14:36] dinesh86 yes you can [14:36] i have a question about firefox in gutsy [14:36] LjL: sorry fix .. : dpkg: /usr/bin/vncserver not found. [14:36] abdulla: alltray [14:36] Guest16155: dpkg -S `which vncserver` [14:36] my partitions have not been mounted [14:37] Guest16155 then vncserver is uninstalled [14:37] and not visible [14:37] abdulla: i don't remember if its only for kde though... try checkin it out from the repos [14:37] I couldn't find Ion window manager on gutsy repos. Is it just me? Or does it really not exist? [14:37] Guest16155: yes, what wols said, i thought it was in /usr/bin but i guess it isn't [14:37] abdulla: alltray [14:37] dinesh86: not a grub problem [14:37] hi all. wich is the easiest way to share folder with windowsUser ? [14:37] dinesh86 you will have to mount them manually [14:37] LjL: he played around with realvnc before [14:37] ikonia: Hello? [14:37] wols: i want to edit my grub now using ubuntu live cd [14:37] mnemonica: can you answer my question please [14:37] LjL: wait i will pastbin the output of the terminal when i typed "vncserver" [14:37] thanks juano__ [14:37] _ruben, even after installing vim though colorscheme is working but the colors of the text arent changing, like this http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdg3.png [14:37] dinesh86: partitions that aren't mounted is no grub problem [14:37] wols_: ah wait *no* package provides a "vncserver" executable. it's probably just a link created by postinst scripts. [14:38] abdulla: your welcome [14:38] if i go to some "hard" page i mean lot of css and images it stacks for time ... when page loaded it goes .. any1 know where is problem? [14:38] Guest16155: dpkg -l |grep -i vnc [14:38] _ruben, how do I make the colors appear even in the script/program? [14:38] hi [14:38] suno and wols:pls wait [14:38] I can't get my wireless adapter to work. [14:38] i have a question about mplayer... can you help me ? [14:38] wols_: It asks me to select an option (which, if you look in the pastebin I posted, my options range from 0-8). ikonia said to put vga=ask, but I can't. [14:38] i want to know if compiz fusion will work with my new dell vostro 1400's X3100 graphics card [14:39] hard to google an answer to this one: What is the prefered ubuntu key agent? ssh-agent, gpg-agent, seahorse, what? [14:39] mnemonica: you get a prompt for inputting something, fine. but what do you do to get this prompt? [14:39] what is the url for full image of ubuntu DVD with all dev and utils? [14:39] wols_: I hit enter [14:39] !gpg > fsp_dan (fsp_dan, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:39] wols_: I have to either hit enter or space. [14:39] mnemonica: hit enter WHERE? [14:39] I mean...which codec is better gl or gl2-multi texture? [14:39] goddamnit... hold on... reposting pastebin [14:39] suno: i am not able to mount [14:40] mount: can't find /media/hda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [14:40] mnemonica: use mode 0 [14:40] mount: can't find /media/hda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [14:40] I'd use Ubuntu if I could freakin get online >.< [14:40] wols: here is the link to my pastbin on the command u gave me : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47692/ [14:40] dinesh86: that's NOT grub [14:40] praveer_fedora edit /etc/vimrc add syntax on [14:40] is there any dvd version of gutsy which contains all the dev packages ? [14:40] wols_: here is the link to my pastbin on the command u gave me : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47692/ [14:41] Guest16155: what does which vncserver say? [14:41] wols:say i want to look into my linux partition from live cd [14:41] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47687/ <<<<<----------- There... After that I get a prompt. And I've -tried- that. and although it allows me to continue to boot, it still comes back when I reboot. I DO NOT want to see this option. I don't want to think about it. It only presented this option to me after I messed around with some boot splash stuff. [14:41] dinesh86: it should be already mounted. run simply "mount" [14:41] Why does kacpi take so much CPU ? http://pastebin.ca/810991 Infact, the system hangs so many times. Please help. [14:41] mnemonica: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:42] sunogbaga, thank you, its working [14:42] wols: they are not ! i am using ubuntu dapper no partitions visible [14:42] dinesh86 use mount /dev/hdx /media/blah/blah [14:42] dinesh86: fdisk -l [14:42] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47693/ [14:42] Guest16155, he said "which vncserver" [14:42] Guest16155: I said "which vncservre" [14:42] Guest16155: I said "which vncserver" [14:42] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47694/ Tada. [14:42] does anyone see slow performance due to acpi ? === max43 is now known as max [14:43] wols_: /usr/local/bin/vncserver [14:43] mnemonica: see the "vga=795"? change it to vga=792 [14:44] Guest16155: then you installed it manually, without using the packaging system... in this case, only you should know how to remove it. [14:44] wols_: Mmmk. [14:44] I'm just not cut out for Linux. [14:44] if you don't, well i suggest next time you use the packaging system rather than fiddling with things you don't know [14:44] Guest16155: this is your former realvnc installation, not any ubuntu software [14:44] i'm trying to build a package using the following command : bash .run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy but it keeps telling me that the package is not supported. When i use the command --listpkg, the Ubuntu packages ends at feisty or 7.04 . what do i need to update to get support for gutsy packages? [14:44] mount: mount point /media/hda5 does not exist [14:44] Guest16155: ask realvnc how to unisntall [14:44] sunogbaga: mount /dev/hdx is NEVER right [14:44] dinesh86: what did fdisk -l say? [14:45] suno: tell me the syntax then [14:45] ezzieyguywuf: why don't you just use the ATI driver that's in the standard, official gutsy repositories? :) [14:45] wols:wait [14:45] wols_ why? [14:45] yup show us fdisk -l [14:45] sunogbaga: hdx is no partition. while you can format a whole disk with a filesystem it's bad [14:45] wols_: can't save it... don't have permissions... how do I open it using sudo? [14:45] wols:fdisk dint print anything [14:45] mnemonica: sudo nano [14:46] wols_: awesome. thank you. [14:46] wols_ i just used x to refer to the hdd partion number [14:46] dinesh86: dmesg output. paste it to a pastebin. all of it [14:46] can someone confirm, that Ubuntu has a kernel bug related to the RTL8185 chipset used in some network cards? [14:46] LjL: i'm trying to fix my suspend, so i recompiled a kernel with Slug instead of SLAG (or whichever one is older, can't remember). i'm following the howto from this website (http://blog.vaxius.net/?p=19#comment-133). do you think your solution is a valid alternative to that step? [14:46] sunogbaga: hdx is a disk, hdx# is a partition. see the difference? [14:47] wols_ aigh't i'll be careful next time [14:47] hi i have a skype problem, no microphone, not sure what to do... === gijs is now known as snk00sj [14:47] jonah: does mic work in other programs? [14:47] I'm trying to install the drivers for my Netgear WG311v3 wireless PCI adapter. It says it wraps it ok, but when I ndiswrapper -l it says wg311v3 : invalid driver! [14:47] any kind souls wanna help me get something to connect to icecast server to play my tunes out? [14:47] sean__: what chip is this netgear using? [14:47] ezzieyguywuf: uhm no, but i suspect those instructions are likely to break other things even if they might fix your suspend. the road *i* would follow is to post a detailed bug report (if there isn't one already, or if there is one already, post a more detailed comment) [14:47] I don't know. How do I find out? [14:48] wols_, not sure, is there any test i can do? [14:48] sean__: lspci [14:48] i guess this is wat required mount: mount point /media/hda5 does not exist [14:48] jonah: audacity [14:48] dmesg output [14:48] hello, I'm having trouble connecting to my work's vpn, it's over PPTP and I've installed the networkmanager-pptp extension, I can create the profile for the VPN connection but I can't find a place to tell the computer to connect [14:48] sorry [14:48] LjL: what do you think would get broken. I believe the only change made was using SLAG instead of SLUG [14:48] dinesh86: no. when there is nothing shown in fdisk -l, ubuntu doesn't recognize anything to mount [14:48] Marvell [14:48] is anybody have that problem : enabled compiz and mplayer= movie is blinking? [14:48] wols_, ok just opened up sound recorder and no my mic doesn't work in that [14:49] dinesh86 create a dir under /media named hda5 if you have that format [14:49] jonah: unmute it with a alsa mixer app maybe (I guess sound itself works?) [14:49] hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > [14:49] dinesh86: then why would sudo fdisk -l ? [14:49] wols_: When I do "sudo nano menu.lst there isn't anything there. it says its a new file [14:49] dinesh86: but as dinesh86 said. mkdir /media/hda5 [14:49] dinesh86 it's mounting on a nonexistent dir. see man mount [14:50] mnemonica: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst full path [14:50] wols_: Eh... should've figured... [14:50] wols_ i didn't see that post [14:50] hey how do i get desktop effects to work on gutsy on X3100/Intel 965??? :( [14:50] <_coredump_> Tyczek, yes, disable Xv video rendering to x11 in mplayer preferences [14:50] !icecast [14:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about icecast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:50] sunogbaga: my mistake. didn't say "sudo" stupid ubuntuism :P [14:51] hello, how do i play region 2 (europe?) dvds? :s [14:51] wols_: Rebooting. See you in a bit... [14:51] JimmyDee: state your problem more concisely. what did you do, what did you expect, what didn't work as intendd? [14:51] _coredump_, I'm using gl2, cause on full screen movie looks better [14:51] !dvd | kex [14:51] kex: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [14:51] i have wide lcd-laptop screen ;/ [14:51] wols, thank you :) [14:51] <_coredump_> Tyczek, nvidia or ati graphics? [14:51] ati ;/ [14:51] kex: medibuntu has some package with the name "regio" in it to change region codes [14:51] I need help connecting audacious or something like it to icecast-server as a source [14:51] wols: it worked ! i mkdir n ounted [14:51] how do I disable kacpi ? [14:52] akhilesh: acpi=off [14:52] wols_, but i have ubuntu not medibuntu :s [14:52] kex: but you will need medibuntu repositories or you cannot watch DVDs [14:52] hey guys, how can I configure my screensaver settings like the old screensaver manager? [14:52] !medibuntu | kex [14:52] kex: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:53] JimmyDee: google oddcast [14:53] wols_ aha ok ^^ [14:53] wols_: where do I do that ? [14:53] kacpi = off ? [14:53] <_coredump_> Tyczek, its a known bug with compiz, you have to switch to x11 video output, mplayer or gstreamer-settings if you are using gstreamer-player [14:53] akhilesh: kernel parameter. your /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:53] akhilesh: do you have a notebook or a desktop? [14:53] _coredump_, ok I'll test [14:53] akhilesh: I didn't say kacpi = off [14:54] akhilesh: read more carefully. again: desktop or laptop? [14:54] wols_: nope. No luck. [14:54] desktop [14:54] wols_: I'm assuming I've gotta change that vga option to something else. Any other ideas? [14:54] mnemonica: remove the vga option [14:54] <_coredump_> Tyczek, or disable compiz effects and use the default desktop setting, thats should work too [14:55] akhilesh: then acpi is not needed. acpi is for powersaving, which is important on notebooks [14:56] _coredump_, It only works on ximage/shm, but in full-screen image is scalling and setting center... i think disabling compiz and the movie-time is the best option right? [14:56] at* [14:56] wols_: rebooting... "Aall beh baak" [14:56] hey all [14:57] <_coredump_> Tyczek, yes think thats the best option [14:57] and last question... wchich is output is better- gl or gl2? [14:57] before reboot i watched some movies and listened to some music, after reboot...no sound [14:57] any ideas on what it could be? [14:58] <_coredump_> Tyczek, on my system switching to the latest nvidia drivers fixed the problem...dunno if there are ati-betas available [14:58] Any ideas wols_? [14:58] hi [14:58] _coredump_, I think there isn't betas ;/ [14:58] when i press the volume control it says that the either is no device or the gstreamer plugin is missing [14:58] arent* [14:58] sean__: no since I don't have a marvell chip [14:58] dont know why either would go missing because of a reboot... [14:58] <_coredump_> Tyczek, ati and linux is still a mess [14:59] linduxed: new kernel since last reboot? [14:59] _coredump_, Yeah... but I think it'll change... I can't switch to my crt monitor... [14:59] Oh well I'll just reinstall Windows until my 100ft ethernet cable arrives. Thanks for the help. [14:59] It is messing my xorg... [14:59] wols_: oh yeah i think there was an optional update that had been checked automatically [14:59] wols_: No luck. What next? [15:00] !sound | linduxed [15:00] linduxed: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:00] how do i do this "3. install the theme in KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> kdmtheme"? cant seem to find that [15:00] mnemonica: in what way did you mess? [15:00] with your splash image I mean [15:01] _coredump_, Thanks for help ;) [15:01] http://www.disturbingenigmas.com/~daiden/ [15:01] <_coredump_> Tyczek, yw [15:01] wols_: Yeah. I was just loading different boot splashes... *shrug* I didn't really change anything except which boot splash I was using. [15:02] mnemonica: sudo /sbin/update-grub [15:02] hi. I've a question, an easy one, I think. I'm using nicotine+ (a soulseek client) on xubuntu. [15:02] wols_: Leave the vga options out of menu.lst? [15:02] mnemonica: and I don't see any bootsplashes in your menu.lst [15:03] I'm not using the one from the repositories, but the latest version, download from its official website. [15:03] mnemonica: update-grub recreates the menu.lst [15:03] wols_: huzzah. [15:03] I've dropped the folder on my desktop and run the program by invoking "python ./nicotine" [15:03] now, I want to move the folder of this "standalone" program to a more conventional place on the linux filesystem [15:03] so, my question is: where is that place? where should I, by convention, put that folder? [15:04] wols_: Done. Try to reboot? [15:04] Mannequin: /opt/ [15:04] mnemonica: /usr/local [15:04] wols_: Eh? [15:04] mnemonica: yes [15:04] mnemonica: srry [15:04] thanks, genii. [15:04] Mannequin: /usr/local [15:04] wols_: :) it's all good. [15:04] wols_: rebooting... [15:04] ops, now I have another answer by wols_ [15:04] should it be /opt/ or /usr/local ? [15:05] it is an "standalone" program. [15:05] is there a way to run a command using shell and before that switch to root? when i do >> sudo /etc/mycmd restart its promt me a password.. can i do >> sudo adminpassword /etc/.... ? [15:06] Mannequin /usr/local [15:06] and then, how I add it to the path? by adding a symlink from /usr/bin/? is that the conventional way? [15:06] Mannequin: you don't. /usr/local/bin is already in your path and there is where the binary (or symlink) should go [15:06] wols_: Excellent. Booted up nicely.

[15:07] wols_: I have to move the whole program folder to /usr/local/ and then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin? [15:08] Chinaski1: you could try unloading the module, then reloading it [15:08] Chinaski1: error message when you try to mount it and it doesn't work [15:08] remember that I have to run it by invoking "python ./nicotine" [15:08] Mannequin: not a bad idea. makes it easier to remove it again if needed [15:08] Mannequin: write a small script [15:08] ok, ok. i will try.

Forgot about this one.... ---> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47698/ I think I'm missing a package or certain file or... something. Can't figure out what though. [15:11] Hey all, I need help on some terminology. In the Windows world, and Outlook in specific, there are archive folders. It retains the folder structure of the regular emails, but it keeps more recent emails from being lost in very old yet still important emails. How do I do this in Evolution? [15:11] wols_ the disk is not on /dev/.... [15:11] hi all. I've configurated SAMBA. I've a WindowsServer 2003. I would like map the fodler at startup (with no login). is it possible? thank you.

[15:12] Anyone have any ideas? [15:12] dinesh86: man mount, what filesystem is on that partition? [15:12] ubuntu [15:12] ext3 [15:12] is it extfs [15:13] dinesh86: and what is the problem mounting it? [15:13] Chinaski1 try fdisk -l [15:13] wols_ the disk is not listed [15:13] its asking for type of fs [15:13] dinesh86: pastebin your commandline [15:13] Chinaski1 what type of fs is it? [15:14] ubuntu@ubuntu:/media$ sudo mount /dev/hda6 /media/hda6 [15:14] /dev/hda6 looks like swapspace - not mounted [15:14] mount: you must specify the filesystem type === acuster is now known as desruisseaux [15:14] sunobaga i did sudo fdisk -l and i have got only sda partition of my internal hd [15:14] *partitions [15:15] Chinaski1 afaik sda is a usb drive [15:15] dinesh86: duh. why would you mount swap? [15:15] Hi, I cannot seem to modify my sound.... the sound icon indicates the volume is all the way down, and i even muted the sound [15:15] Chinaski1 can u pastebin fdisk -l [15:15] yet sound is still loud [15:15] ok [15:15] how can i fix this? [15:15] !pastbin [15:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:15] sunogbaga: after libate pretty much all disks are using sd* [15:16] wols:wait [15:16] wols_ i'll take a look at that [15:16] the link for pastebin? [15:17] Chinaski1 yes [15:17] sunogbaga: sdX is the old scsi subsystem of old. by now sata, usb and firewire and most IDE drivers use it too [15:17] !pastebin [15:17] 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) [15:17] i dunno were to paste, k thanks wols_ [15:18] Okay... got a slight problem: The running kernel lacks CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL support. That's a stock kernel from the Gutsy install on a AMD64, so I don't know what I need to do to get that support in there. [15:18] RedHeron: what for? [15:18] Blanking a locked HDD that someone gave to me so I can use it. [15:19] wols so now how do i differentiate from ata sata usb and firewire then? [15:19] some IBM harddisk? [15:19] wols_: Hitachi [15:19] sunogbaga: you don't [15:19] DeathStar... er, I means DeskStar [15:19] RedHeron: ibm sold their hdd division to hitachi [15:19] RedHeron: boot an older kernel? [15:20] wols_: this drive says mfg was in 2003, and how do I do that without losing data? [15:20] oh. kernels have it. then you might have to build your own [15:20] wols_: how do I do that? [15:20] what command i should write to apply sudoers changes? [15:20] install kernel-package, and check its docs in /usr/share/doc/ [15:21] Lumpy^: an editor? [15:21] wols: success [15:21] i did changes [15:21] wols_, sunogbaga http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47699/ [15:21] i need to refresh or somthing [15:21] wols:thanx ! [15:21] can anyone tell me how I can let /dev/md0 (witch is a raid 5) to automount on boot? (fstab or so?) [15:22] wols_: Apologies, never done this before... apt-get install on that? [15:23] gordonjcp says to try unloading and reloading the firewire module, do you know how to do it? [15:24] I had an ubuntu installation. I installed compviz for desktop effects. Now when I uninstalled it, now I don't have window frames and title bars :( Seems like no window frames. What do I do now ? [15:25] RedHeron: yes [15:25] wols_: tried to `cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdb` but that didn't fly because of the IDE lock. [15:25] wols_: thanks [15:25] akhilesh: system ---> preferences ---> appearance ---> visual effects, select NONE [15:28] what is the /tmp folder on ubuntu ? temp folder ? can i erase the files inside ? [15:29] Guest16155: you should be able to safely delete the files, but its not nessicary, unless you absolutely need the hard drive space [15:29] visual effects are already None. [15:30] But I still cant see the window frames. As a result, I cant move windows even when they overlap :(( [15:30] akhilesh: alt+f2 and type: metacity --replace [15:30] Can anyone assist me with my sound problem? [15:30] Guest16155: Those files are cleaned out automatically, and files for system processes sometimes get stuck there. You shouldnt modify or delete the contents manually. [15:30] MasterShrek_: what is the command line for delete the all /tmp including folders inside ? [15:31] Guest16155: rm -rf /tmp/* [15:31] but dont do that [15:31] Guest16155: as Pici suggested, you probably shouldnt delete those files [15:31] dangerous! [15:31] infact, its behaving like failsafe. [15:31] the term gets focus if the mouse cursor hovers over it. [15:32] seems that the only solution is to restart computer with firewire plugged sudo modprobe -r ieee1394 gives error [15:32] mavi-: dont suggest it if you know its dangerous then. [15:32] how do I get my windows back ? [15:32] akhilesh: did you do what i said? [15:32] what did u say ? Please be a little slow, I have to switch between test screen and X. [15:32] Pici: it isnt "dangerous", just "stupid" =) [15:32] I did visual effects = None. [15:32] akhilesh: alt+f2 and type: metacity --replace [15:33] ok, one sec... let me do that. [15:33] Hey guys how do i open a .daa file in Ubuntu? [15:33] "window manager error: unable to open X display" [15:33] Arelis: i think you have to convert it to iso [15:34] MasterShrek_: how? [15:34] akhilesh: you do that from your gui, ctrl+alt+f7, then alt+f2 metacity --replace [15:34] Arelis: one sec.... [15:34] Arelis: you can only do it with a windows-program iirc [15:34] ok, [15:34] Arelis: poweriso for linux [15:34] there is a poweriso for linux now [15:35] wow [15:35] yep [15:35] i alwasy run the windows-version in wine [15:35] Arelis, http://www.poweriso.com/poweriso-1.1.tar.gz [15:35] must have left, i got join/part hidden [15:35] MasterShrek_ thank you :) [15:35] ah [15:35] yep [15:36] How can I check what processor I have? And what is the difference between i386 and i686? [15:36] askand: what is your processor? [15:36] MasterShrek_: pentium M [15:37] cat /proc/cpuinfo [15:37] you should be able to use i686, its just designed for faster processors, at least thats what ive gathered, but i386 will run just fine too [15:37] MasterShrek: I did that in GUI and it gave me frames. But when I logged out and again logged in, then again it was the same frameless environment. [15:37] what do I do to make it permanent ? Where should I add metacity --replace ? [15:37] askand: the -generic kernel will run just fine. [15:37] How do I make archive folders in Evolution? [15:37] akhilesh: yea i know, i just wanted to make sure that was your problem, to get them all the time go: system > preferences > sessions and add an entry for that command ( metacity --replace ) [15:38] : in your session add it in startup [15:38] hi [15:38] hello cocox_ [15:38] ok [15:39] MasterShrek_: Thanks, that worked :) [15:39] thanks wols_, genii and sunogbaga, I finally move the folder to /usr/local/, then added a small script invoking python to run nicotine [15:40] and finally, created an icon on the task bar, using launcher [15:40] dunno what is wrong... now I have gl output... And after 2 minutes movie is freezing and continuing... On XV/X11 quality is very bad... ATI drivers ;/ [15:41] Is there a way to redetect my keyboard layout from within X11? [15:41] MasterShrek: added that to sessions [15:41] now what ? [15:41] I think I am using the wrong terminology or something. I cannot figure how to archive old emails in Evolution. Can this be done? [15:41] akhilesh: now you shouldnt have anything to worry about, whenever you log in it should come up [15:41] nah, its not comming up :( [15:41] guys any info on metacity as the compositor? [15:42] akhilesh: is it saved in there? go back to your sessions and see if its still there, also remove an entry for compiz if it exists in there [15:42] !metacity [15:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about metacity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:42] akhilesh: have you been able to fix the problem ? [15:43] akhilesh: or are frames still not showing up ? [15:43] hi [15:43] one sec.. let me check [15:43] can anybody help me with a topic in ubuntu? [15:43] !someone | tovarna [15:43] tovarna: 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?

(someone help me i dont know the name of gnome's user management program) [15:48] reya276: try reloading the library... sometimes it happened to me when i had songs from windows partition folder and it wasn't mounted... though im not sure that this is the case [15:48] any TID out there that can help me with figuring out how to turn my sound down?

[15:52] where do I write "metacity --replace" ? [15:53] Well, I give up on the Evolution help. [15:53] with hipens says it can't find the file [15:53] reya276: try music ---> import folder, try importing your music folder again [15:53] akhilesh: system > preferences > session is where ive done it [15:53] i just want to know if by the terminal i can give administration privileges, like install programs to my user [15:53] Ok... so I backed up my entire home drive (including hidden files), reinstalled ubuntu (7.10), and put my home drive back. Everything works great, except that Firefox won't install flash. It will say it's already installed... if I remove it, it tries to install and the installer script (for the aptitude package) errors out when the md5 of the adobe file doesn't match [15:54] because i cant do it now with the graphic way (sorry for my english) and thanks [15:54] !ntfs [15:54] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:54] tovarna: use sudo for that, as in sudo apt-get .....
