| loke | zgmf-x20a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:06 |

|---|
| kling0n | Soskel: define "works on ubuntu" please | 00:06 |

| kling0n | mindy: hang on | 00:07 |
|---|
| Soskel | kling0n: runs on ubuntu without error | 00:07 |

| kling0n | mindy: more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 00:08 |

| JensenDied | huss_: well, if thats the only result then its not running right now, run `avant-window-navigator` in a terminal (you dont need the backticks, thats just to seperate the command) | 00:08 |
|---|
| loke | Personally, I prefer to simply install Envy. I've spent too much time trying to manually install the driver. | 00:09 |
|---|
| Avt | kling0n seems the same thing is happening should I uninstall a plugin? | 00:09 |
|---|
| mindy | kling0n: it may help to mention that I'm running the 2.6.17-11 image...not 2.6.22 | 00:09 |
|---|
| kling0n | Soskel: the webpage renders just fine with firefox for me :) | 00:09 |
|---|
| TCHP | ok I got an answer I was looking for from the faq... | 00:09 |
|---|
| warriorforgod | When is ubuntu going to release 2.6.24 kernel with cfs? | 00:09 |
|---|
| kling0n | Avt: check about:plugins in firefox to see which plugins you've got | 00:09 |
|---|
| zgmf-x20a | loke: cool thank you ill give that a try! :) | 00:09 |
|---|
| loke | zgmf-x20a: Not a problem. | 00:09 |
|---|
| kling0n | Avt: I personally removed other media player plugins on my installation in order to use mplayer | 00:09 |
|---|
| TCHP | but then last time I had ubuntu I had a very hard problem running my raid HD | 00:09 |
|---|
| kling0n | Avt: although i'm sure there's a neater way of ndoing it, that seems to work for me :) | 00:10 |
|---|
| TCHP | is that any better now in 7.10 | 00:10 |
|---|
| huss_ | jensendied, I did and that was the result "avant-window-navigator | 00:10 |

| huss_ | Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositi" | 00:10 |
|---|
| loke | huss_: You'll need compiz or xcompmgr in order for awn to display properly. | 00:10 |
|---|
| kling0n | mindy: another alternative would be to remove all nvidia related packages and build it by running the install script directly from nvidia's home apge | 00:10 |

|---|
| kling0n | sorry but i gtg | 00:11 |

Does this sound like it may resolve the slow browsing speeds? | 00:25 |

| Pelo | dolphin_noel, there is a package you can add to enable sound preview in nautilus, that might also give you the info you want in a right click properties, mpeg123 I beleive is the pacakge might be mpeg321 | 00:27 |
|---|
| juano__ | evanotten: ipv6 problem for sure, you need to disable it | 00:27 |
|---|
| chd176 | All of this to install something as simple as java? | 00:27 |

| evanotten | kitofhawaii seems to think it wont help | 00:27 |
|---|

| kitofhawaii | evanro: i'm willing to be wrong :) | 00:28 |
|---|
| kelsin | chd176: ... you have to enable the repos once, ever, just to open up the unsupported packages, once that's done it's one command | 00:28 |

| kelsin | chd176: and enabling them is a few clicks | 00:28 |

|---|
| evanotten | cool thanks | 00:28 |
|---|
| chd176 | ok I'm confused...again | 00:28 |
|---|
| juano__ | evanotten: follow ubotus link to disable ipv6 | 00:29 |
|---|
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, if you want those info in the regular nautilus window try searching google for nautilus scripts , you might find something that does it | 00:29 |
|---|
| loke | kitofhawaii: I've had it disabled and enabled and the differences are negligible, so I believe you're correct. | 00:29 |

| aladdinsane | is it possible in some way to direct an application to a specific system tray, assuming im using two system trays, I.e. when using "alltray"? | 00:29 |
|---|
| Pelo | chd176, I got confused I thought you needed to install java, not ath you were complaining | 00:29 |
|---|
| loke | But I must re-itterate, having it disabled can't hurt as it's not yet supported. | 00:29 |

|---|
| genii | loke: try instead tar xvzf | 00:30 |
|---|
| juano__ | loke: yea it won't.. but in my experience it is the cause of slow browsing | 00:30 |

| Kuropon | kelsin, I saw what loki said.. but what do you mean by '-O -' | 00:32 |
|---|
| Pelo | chd176, open menu > system > admin > software sources, check all the boxes on the first tab and the backport one on the third tab , then exit that dialog and reload the packages when asked then go in menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager, use the search tool to looko for java , install sun-java6-jre the -bin and the -plugin packages , apply and be happy | 00:33 |
|---|
| kelsin | Kuropon: I thought you meant pipe the output of wget to the tar command, not just run both on one line | 00:33 |
|---|
| Pelo | afk | 00:33 |
|---|
| Kuropon | kelsin, don't they both have the same outcome? | 00:33 |
|---|
| kelsin | Kuropon: -O - sends the output of wget to stdout, and since tar reads stdin you can do "wget -O - <address> | tar xz" and have it untar right were you are without saving the file | 00:33 |
|---|
| kelsin | Kuropon: same end result except with his you also have the file saved as well, I thought you were asking something different technically | 00:34 |

| chd176 | so do I need to do something special to install flash? | 00:35 |

| Zeddie | <Zeddie> hmm how do i change the default applications? I've currently got a problem with a few bit torrent clients <--- I solved my own problem , right click on properties on a file of that type in nautilus and change the open with file :) | 00:35 |
|---|
| loke | Kuropon: It'll extract it to the current directory unless you change it. | 00:35 |
|---|
| WildnQIk | whats the command to get cc installed? | 00:35 |
|---|
| loke | Kuropon: type `man tar` in the terminal | 00:35 |

| Pelo | WildnQIk, cc ? | 00:36 |
|---|
| juano__ | chd176: no just install flash from synaptic or download it from adobe just like in windows :) | 00:36 |
|---|
| HellMind | apt-get install cc :S | 00:36 |

| MrLint | Pelo : ok well on a lark i thought id try the desktop 7.1 on my old g4 mac.. and after the inital startup when its suppose to go into live mode i just get a bkacl screen with a cursor. | 00:36 |

|---|
| WildnQIk | thats the one | 00:36 |
|---|
| WildnQIk | cheers kelsin | 00:36 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | Kuropon: when you get a chance... do man tar in a term | 00:36 |
|---|
| Pelo | MrLint, did you get the ppc live cd ? | 00:36 |
|---|
| Kuropon | loke, well wget defaults it to my /cache dir.. is it ok to extract stuff in there? | 00:36 |
|---|
| loke | Kuropon: You mean /tmp? | 00:36 |
|---|
| chd176 | now the only other issue I may run into is the MP3 support. I checked out the links but I'm confused it said something about having to convert the files? | 00:36 |
|---|
| MrLint | pelo : Im pretty sure i did, the boot screen saya live is the default option. | 00:36 |
|---|
| huss_ | JensenDied, do you still here? | 00:37 |
|---|
| juano__ | chd176: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:37 |
|---|
| loke | Kuropon: If you're running it from the command line (terminal), it'll download it to the current location. | 00:37 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | MrLint: at the first menu hit F6 then noapic if that dosent work there are other options to try | 00:37 |
|---|
| Pelo | MrLint, I thinkt that the macs that run the intel chip need the i386 cd , but I'm not sure what I am talking about here | 00:37 |
|---|
| JensenDied | huss_: yeah somewhat | 00:37 |
|---|
| Kuropon | loke, /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 00:37 |
|---|
| Kuropon | is the location of it | 00:37 |
|---|
| MrLint | jack : ok i'll give that a shot, i tried the no OF vid thing but that ended with the same result. | 00:37 |
|---|
| juano__ | chd176: restricted formats have support for lots of file types, like mp3, mp4 .. | 00:37 |
|---|
| loke | Kuropon: You can extract it there if you'd like. It makes no real difference. | 00:37 |
|---|
| * Pelo sees Jack_Sparrow rushing to MrLint 's rescue and decides to but out | 00:38 |
| MrLint | heh :) | 00:38 |
|---|
| * loke will return in less than 5 minutes. Do not fear! | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 00:38 |
|---|
| huss_ | JensenDied, compiz did put the same massage for the "avant-window-navigato" | 00:38 |
|---|
| MrLint | actually let me go over to that box and try that now.. one moment. | 00:38 |
|---|
| * Pelo is afraid that loke will return | 00:38 |
| chd176 | oh ok cool | 00:38 |
|---|
| Avt | the mplayer i just install still is stopping mpg after I uninstall totem firefox can someone please help me with this issue? | 00:38 |
|---|
| JensenDied | huss_: you might need to restart X in order for compiz to run when you login | 00:38 |
|---|
| Pelo | Avt, cna yo try downloading the file and try it out from your pc ? | 00:39 |
|---|
| huss_ | I did but "Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager" | 00:39 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 00:39 |
|---|
| WildnQIk | whats a good program to use on ubuntu that has webmail ? | 00:39 |
|---|
| JensenDied | huss_: i closed the page but it probably didnt have you launch compiz, just set it as the default. anyway alt-f2 type compiz hit ok | 00:39 |
|---|
| chd176 | This isn't really an important question I am just curious as to how MAC OS and Windows can enable MP3 support by default. Is this because linux distros are open source an the other OS's aren't? | 00:39 |
|---|
| * Pelo thinks Jack_Sparrow just lost his mind, we do not want to deal with this until they make a bin or a deb | 00:40 |
| kelsin | WildnQIk: do you mean you want to run a webmail server? | 00:40 |
|---|
| WildnQIk | yeah | 00:40 |
|---|
| Kuropon | loke, doing an apt-get clean in a later date would get rid of it right? | 00:40 |
|---|
| MrLint | whoops i forgot i wasnt on irc in shell in that window:) | 00:40 |
|---|
| kelsin | chd176: they pay patent fees to whatever comapnies to support it | 00:40 |
|---|
| Pelo | chd176, copyright issues, apple and ms can afford to pay thomson for the rights | 00:40 |
|---|
| kelsin | chd176: if you want a legal mp3 decoder you can get one free from fluendo | 00:40 |

| Pelo | famicon, pre partition the hdd with gparted in the admin menu from the desktop, ;make 5-10 gig for / in ext3, 2xram for swap in linux swap and the rest in ext3 for /home during hte isntall select manual partitionning and assign each partiton to the right folder, that will cut down on the formating | 00:52 |
|---|
| famicon | Pelo I'm using the CLI installer | 00:53 |
|---|
| Avt | Pelo thankyou buddy; I will try it out :D | 00:53 |
|---|
| scguy318 | Viper550: I think the newest is in proposed | 00:53 |
|---|
| Pelo | famicon, use parted to do the same , and then you will select the manual partitionning from the installer as well , just no pretty interface | 00:53 |

| Zylstra555 | Hello, I am in the Ubuntu installer at this very moment, and am about to create a new partition | 00:53 |
|---|
| Zylstra555 | I need guidance, I would like to dual boot, what am I to do? | 00:54 |
|---|
| famicon | Pelo ah, thanks | 00:54 |
|---|
| famicon | i thought you said gparted instead of parted | 00:54 |
|---|
| juano__ | Zylstra555: you need a / (root) partition that could be in example: ext3 | 00:54 |
|---|
| Zylstra555 | (I currently have Vista as my second OS, I just need to use Ubuntu to move my data around, so I can get rid of Dells junk) | 00:54 |
|---|
| juano__ | Zylstra555: and a swap partition | 00:54 |
|---|
| morphir | I'm printing out a large scale drawing (.png) which will require several A4 sheets (5 or so).. but gqview scales it automatically down to one A4 sheet | 00:54 |
|---|
| Pelo | Zylstra555, just rezise your existing ntfs partition to make room for ubuntu you need at least 10 gig to install ubuntu, more is better, after that just proceed with the install , guided I think , the dual boot part wll take care or itself | 00:54 |
|---|
| Zylstra555 | juano__: Okay, so, currently, I am in the installer. How do I ago about doing that? | 00:55 |
|---|
| Zylstra555 | Pelo: Resized it, I have 19GB unallocated. | 00:55 |
|---|
| juano__ | Zylstra555: ^^ see Pelo comment | 00:55 |
|---|
| juano__ | Zylstra555: ok | 00:55 |
|---|
| Pelo | famicon, I did say gparted, I it's the gnome gui frontend for parted, qparted is the kde version, in command line use parted | 00:55 |
|---|
| morphir | is there a proffesional printer software out there for linux? | 00:55 |
|---|
| Pelo | Zylstra555, just proceed with guided partitonning when you get to it then | 00:55 |
|---|
| juano__ | Zylstra555: well in the free space, make a / partition and a swap partition of bout 1 GB | 00:55 |
|---|
| Pelo | morphir, what do you mean by professionnal ? isn'T cups good enoug for you ? | 00:56 |

| kitofhawaii | loke and genii: fair enough, but usually we use peltier plates to accomplish that, not a residential freezer | 01:12 |
|---|
| Dethlok | is it good for your computer to use that when you are afk for long durations or just leaving it run normally? | 01:12 |
|---|
| Pelo | spiffman, turn them off and see if it still happens | 01:12 |
|---|
| Avt | pelo can I repair install so it keep my background ect | 01:12 |
|---|
| Pelo | Avt, jsut backup yoru /home folder | 01:12 |
|---|
| Avt | o | 01:12 |
|---|
| juano__ | Dethlok: it is actually for that | 01:12 |
|---|
| spiffman | pelo you mean the panels and windows? if i close them, there's no problem | 01:12 |
|---|
| juano__ | Dethlok: when you don't want a full power-off | 01:12 |

| Iggz | HI. on loging in I get an error message regarding xserver being unble to be reached. startx gnome on the command prompt produces an error message saying unable to find nvidia - graphics driver I assume. I suppose this m,emans that the driver is currupted? And if so what is the commandline to pull and reinstall it? Or is there a simpler solution? :-) | 01:12 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: not sure if that is what you want but... To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add " blacklist <modulename> " to the end of that list - | 01:12 |
|---|
| loke | Dethlok: I think the only benefit is that you don't have a noisy computer, or kill a laptop battery. | 01:12 |

| evanotten | pelo, i just did something and i am back lol i am so confused man | 01:13 |

|---|
| Pelo | evanotten, what did you do ? | 01:13 |
|---|
| yumbaman | do you play on ubuntu? | 01:13 |
|---|
| Dethlok | yep | 01:13 |

| evanotten | clean install buttons | 01:13 |
|---|
| Dethlok | flawlessly | 01:13 |
|---|
| evanotten | wow i am cool | 01:14 |
|---|
| yumbaman | Dethlok, over a socks proxy before? | 01:14 |
|---|
| Dethlok | a firewall, i dont think, i never set one up so im guessing no | 01:14 |
|---|
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: I dont see a "my_blacklist" file, but I do see a couple others with "blacklist" in the names | 01:14 |
|---|
| yumbaman | oh, im at school trying to play | 01:14 |
|---|
| evanotten | so yeah no luck on the install of the new theme guess i should go to compiz irc? | 01:14 |
|---|
| yumbaman | i know of only one way so far and that is OpenVPN | 01:15 |
|---|
| Pelo | evanotten, the compiz ppl will know exactly how you install an emerald theme yes, #compiz-fusion | 01:15 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | nilihanth: Perhaps a description of the probem you are trying to fix.. | 01:15 |
|---|
| yumbaman | i only have OpenSSH install | 01:15 |
|---|
| MasterShrek | evanotten: do you have the emerald themes manager installed? | 01:15 |
|---|
| Dethlok | hmmm, im guessing the firewall won't let you connect to the game? | 01:15 |
|---|
| yumbaman | yea | 01:15 |
|---|
| evanotten | yeah just installed it but it doesnt show up | 01:15 |
|---|
| yumbaman | only ports 80 and 443 out | 01:15 |
|---|
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 01:15 |
|---|
| ubotu | 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). | 01:15 |
|---|
| evanotten | it downloaded from synaptic | 01:15 |
|---|
| evanotten | noob ftw | 01:15 |

| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I have 2 LAN controllers and one gives me problems but it is the first that the NM wants to connect to. | 01:15 |

| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: I found a file called "blacklist" in /etc/modprobe.d/ | 01:16 |
|---|
| spiffman | pelo, if i turn all effects off, it works fine | 01:16 |
|---|
| evanotten | k i got that up | 01:16 |
|---|
| nilihanth | Jack_Sparrow: it has things like "blacklist snd_intel8x0m" in it...is that what I want? | 01:16 |
|---|
| naes | evan all you do is drag the emerald theme into the emerald theme manager | 01:17 |
|---|
| Pelo | spiffman, I think you need to ask in #compiz-fusion if there is a way to turn off windows transparency whn you have something running fullscreen | 01:17 |

| chaosrl | xtknight: i have 2 drivers listed: ATI accelerated graphics driver and Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) and both are enabled and in use | 01:38 |
|---|
| Pelo | embed, that has nothign to do with grub, and in init.d I beleive is what you need | 01:38 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, hmm ok go back to console, type "sudo rmmod fglrx" a couple times to make sure current fglrx is gone | 01:39 |
|---|
| kelsin | embed: ubuntu uses upstart now, but the init starting order for unlevel too is by file order in /etc/rc2.d | 01:39 |
|---|
| chaosrl | ok, the first time it just gave me a new command line line, and the second time it told eme the moduel doesn't exist | 01:39 |
|---|
| embed | pelo, so when "init" is called does it execute all the scripts in "init.d" ? | 01:39 |
|---|
| * Pelo thinks embed better listen to kelsin | 01:39 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 01:39 |
|---|
| Pelo | embed, Ithe rc levels , which are jsut symlinks for the stuff in init,d | 01:40 |
|---|
| embed | pelo, i just dont understand | 01:40 |
|---|
| kelsin | embed: ubuntu now uses upstart, google it for the small amount of info on the web there is. I don't know the startup order but the upstart jobs are in /etc/event.d | 01:40 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: i'm getting E: Unmet dependencies. Try "apt-get -f install" with no packages (or specify a solution). | 01:40 |
|---|
| onats | whats the command to resolve the hostname of an ip? | 01:40 |
|---|
| rockoman | hey can somebody help me? | 01:40 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, can you paste the whole thing on pastebin ? | 01:40 |
|---|
| Pelo | embed, this isn'T realy my thing, I think kelsin understands this stuff better | 01:40 |
|---|
| kelsin | embed: once the rc2 job is started though the script in /etc/rc2.d get called in alpha order | 01:40 |
|---|
| embed | ok thanks | 01:40 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: sorry, what's pastebin? | 01:41 |
|---|
| xtknight | !pastebin | chaosrl | 01:41 |
|---|
| ubotu | chaosrl: 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) | 01:41 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, can you ask an actual quesiotn ? | 01:41 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | can I apt-get crossover? | 01:41 |
|---|
| rockoman | i just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop, and when it attempts to load i get a "OUT OF RANGE" error. Can someone help me? | 01:41 |
|---|
| det4100 | How does one get nmbd to run at startup, instead of starting it up manually after logging on to session? | 01:41 |
|---|
| chaosrl | !pastebin | chaosrl | 01:41 |
|---|
| Pelo | TheMasticator, crossover is propriatary, apt is only for free stuff, you can get wine from apt-get | 01:41 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, you need to change the horiz sync values in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor | 01:42 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | oh gotcha! Photoshop in Wine keeps telling me I am missing personalization information | 01:42 |
|---|
| bazhang | rockoman: that means that your monitor is trying for a resolution your card is not set up for or does not support | 01:42 |
|---|
| rockoman | I read that online, I dont know how to change it ;/ | 01:42 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: like this? | 01:42 |
|---|
| chaosrl | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48026/ | 01:42 |
|---|
| kelsin | TheMasticator: have you check the wine appdb to see if there is a solution for that? | 01:42 |
|---|
| kelsin | !appdb | TheMasticator | 01:42 |
|---|
| ubotu | TheMasticator: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 01:42 |
|---|
| bazhang | rockoman: and listen to Pelo on this | 01:42 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, boot the recovery mode, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf look for the horiz sync line and cange the values, you probablay only need to change the high value | 01:42 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | thanks guys, I haven't only googled it and found nothing | 01:43 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, check the label on the back of your monitor fo rthe info or the manual or the maker's website | 01:43 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, apparently one pkg slipped thru our hands: fglrx-kernel-2.6.22-14-generic | 01:43 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo dpkg --purge --force-all fglrx-kernel-2.6.22-14-generic | 01:43 |
|---|
| * Pelo is batting 1 tonight | 01:43 |
| rockoman | when i boot to recovery mode, it stops loading after it shows "101.606024 ====================" | 01:43 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, is this a clean install ? | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | (that's a timestamp) | 01:44 |
|---|
| rockoman | yeah | 01:44 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, install again | 01:44 |
|---|
| bjbum | hello all. this is my 2nd day of ubuntu linux (longtime mac user). having trouble getting sound to work (gutsy 64, intel hd audio controller) :'( | 01:44 |
|---|
| rockoman | i already did that ;/ | 01:44 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: ok. should i retry the command you sent earlier? | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, nope | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, just the last one | 01:44 |
|---|
| rockoman | i also used to alternative iso | 01:44 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, you can try from the alternate isntall cd , it is text based and is usualy less touchy about hardware when installing | 01:44 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight, i've purged the last one now | 01:44 |
|---|
| rockoman | because the live CD would freeze before it would get me to the live desktop | 01:44 |
|---|
| Ttech | bjbum, restricted drivers | 01:44 |
|---|
| * Pelo is getting annoyed at rockoman | 01:44 |
| Ttech | synaptic | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | ok now try this | 01:44 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, i gues if thats what u meant by last cmd, ya | 01:45 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, is this a laptop ? | 01:45 |
|---|
| rockoman | nope | 01:45 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, older pc ? | 01:45 |
|---|
| rockoman | i installed ubuntu fine on my laptop | 01:45 |
|---|
| rockoman | about a year old | 01:45 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, what videocard ? | 01:45 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight, it's finished | 01:45 |
|---|
| rockoman | radeon 1300 series | 01:45 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok, do you know how to configure your xorg to use fglrx? | 01:45 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, can you get the command line from anywhere ? | 01:45 |
|---|
| Ttech | Does anyone know of a better Gnome (Ubuntu) menu editor? | 01:46 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: not really? i've been through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg a couple of times, but niether time went very smoothly | 01:46 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok | 01:46 |
|---|
| rockoman | let me see | 01:46 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, try "gksu restricted-manager" now | 01:46 |
|---|
| localgod11 | how do i exit and save changed in iv? | 01:46 |
|---|
| Pelo | Ttech, Itink that main-menu is it | 01:46 |
|---|
| Pelo | localgod11, try crtl x or q | 01:47 |
|---|
| Ttech | the menu editor? No other programs to edit the menu? | 01:47 |
|---|
| localgod11 | no | 01:47 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight, it shows the same two as before, but now the ATI accelerated graphics driver is Enabled, but Not in use | 01:47 |
|---|
| bjbum | Ttech, is restricted drivers a package in synaptic? because the restricted drivers manager thing from the system menu, nothing shows up. only my graphics card and wireless card (both proprietaries are being used) | 01:47 |
|---|
| rockoman | when im at the bootscreen and i press "ESC" i can press C to get to a command-line | 01:47 |
|---|
| rockoman | thats about it | 01:47 |
|---|
| Pelo | Ttech, not that I know of | 01:47 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok that's good. try enabling now and you should be good | 01:47 |
|---|
| localgod11 | i do that sand it says ^mode | 01:47 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, in the future always use restricted manager to install proprietary drivers, (if) possible | 01:47 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, ok sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sselect the vesa driver and for everthing else stick to the defaults | 01:47 |
|---|
| localgod11 | X^mode | 01:47 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: should i uncheck the enabled box and then recheck it? | 01:47 |
|---|
| bjbum | i've compiled the latest asla as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 01:48 |
|---|
| bjbum | but still no go :'( | 01:48 |
|---|
| rockoman | Error 27: Unrecognized Command ;'/ | 01:48 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, hmm i guess? is there a way to tell it to use the driver? | 01:48 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, i cant remember, im not using restricted right now | 01:48 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: yah, i'll probably not mess with my install until hh or a sure fix for suspend comes out | 01:48 |
|---|
| Pelo | bjbum, menu > system> admin ( or prefs ) sound > check to make sure you card is selected in for all the kind of sounds | 01:48 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, unenable and then reenable, then see if it notifies you of anything like "reboot to try your new restricted drivers" or whatever | 01:48 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: yeah, i'ts asking for a reboot | 01:49 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, ok , well, reboot ;) | 01:49 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , just incase I misstyped earlier | 01:49 |
|---|
| chaosrl | i guess i'll go ahead and reboot and come back and let you know. thanks though! | 01:49 |
|---|
| xtknight | should be fine after that | 01:49 |
|---|
| xtknight | yea | 01:49 |
|---|
| xtknight | ok | 01:49 |
|---|
| rockoman | same error | 01:49 |
|---|
| rockoman | its at a grub> command thing | 01:49 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, hmm | 01:50 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, I give up | 01:50 |
|---|
| rockoman | ;/ | 01:50 |
|---|
| Pelo | sorry | 01:50 |
|---|
| rockoman | ive tried to install different linux's also and it freezes on the live cd ;/ | 01:51 |
|---|
| * Pelo feels like the total and uther failure that he is , | 01:51 |
| rockoman | i cant figure out why | 01:51 |
|---|
| Pelo | live cd do not include ati or nvidia drivers because they are propriatary and livecd only include FOSS stuff | 01:51 |
|---|
| bjbum | Pelo, i've tried them all on oss, asla. still doesn't work :( | 01:51 |
|---|
| Pelo | bjbum, did yo try with the !sound troubler shooti8ng guide first ? | 01:52 |
|---|
| rockoman | if it helps i cant access a Shell prompt when i use the alternative cd | 01:52 |
|---|
| rockoman | *i CAN | 01:52 |
|---|
| === jugh3ad is now known as jughead |
| === reconnect is now known as recon |
| rockoman | if that helps? | 01:52 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, try installing from the alternate install cd again, see how far you get, make a note of the dpkg-reconfigure line and run that after you have finished the install | 01:52 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: Success! Thank you so much! | 01:52 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, glad i could make it a success ;P | 01:53 |
|---|
| xtknight | those are always good words to hea r | 01:53 |
|---|
| rockoman | i tried that already too ;/, i didnt even see the configure for the video when i installed | 01:53 |
|---|
| chaosrl | xtknight: i actually had one more question: what does gksu do? | 01:53 |
|---|
| naes | rockoman sometimes when i install it hangs up in the installation process if you wait it will usually go through though it seems it wont, or just start it over, evertime it has "hanged" on a comp for me it has eventually gone through or gone through after restarting | 01:53 |
|---|
| * Pelo congradulaes xtknight for getting his noob back on track | 01:53 |
| xtknight | chaosrl, it is the graphical version of sudo, aka gksudo and gksu... same thing. they should be used when running GUI programs thru sudo | 01:53 |
|---|
| r3n0c | can somebody help me with connecting from an ubuntu comp to windows, via vncviewer | 01:54 |
|---|
| Odd-rationale | How do I "include '/usr/games' in the PATH enviroment variable? | 01:54 |
|---|
| chaosrl | so sudo gedit would be the same thing as gksu gedit, right? | 01:54 |
|---|
| r3n0c | the windows comp has a password | 01:54 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, you don'T get a configure for the video when you install from the alt cd or the live one | 01:54 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: are you getting an error? | 01:54 |
|---|
| r3n0c | but vncviewer doesn't allow for a password | 01:54 |
|---|
| ilfat_g | +n | 01:54 |
|---|
| xtknight | chaosrl, well gksu is safer to use. sudo could potentially do something bad, i dont know, at least that's what they say | 01:54 |
|---|
| xtknight | (hint: sudo is probably fine0 | 01:54 |
|---|
| rockoman | oh ;/ | 01:54 |
|---|
| chaosrl | haha, ok | 01:54 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, i just don't know how to input a password into the vncviewer | 01:54 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: if you just do "vncviewer <windows.ip>" it will ask for a password if it needs one | 01:55 |
|---|
| rockoman | naes, i've tried three different linux's and they all stop at the same place, i'ved waited for it to kick back up, but it doesnt ;/ | 01:55 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, it totally doesn't tho | 01:55 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, the alt-cd insatlls all theway thought then reboot , if you get the desktop fine, if you dont, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and selesct the vesa | 01:55 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, where does the install stop ? | 01:55 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, it says no matching security types | 01:55 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: that's because you're using the free enterprise realvnc on windows | 01:56 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: go download the tightvnc for windows vncserver, it will work | 01:56 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, it is not the freeversion... full version | 01:56 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: well then that's def the reason | 01:56 |
|---|
| rockoman | when i use the live cd, it freezes BEFORE the desktop comes up, i used the alt CD and it finishes installing, but when it goes to load Ubuntu, it shows me the "Out of Range" Error | 01:56 |
|---|
| rockoman | and i try to goto a command, but the command terminal wont show up under recovery | 01:56 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: they don't let anything but their client connect, so you'll need to install their linux client, or use another vnc server on windows | 01:56 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, when you get the hout of range error, do you get a command line prompt ? | 01:56 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: I don't think their current client is packaged for ubuntu at all | 01:57 |
|---|
| rockoman | nope, just a black screen that says out of range | 01:57 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, how do you try to get the recovery mode ? | 01:57 |
|---|
| rockoman | i press during the GRUB countdown | 01:57 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, press what ? | 01:58 |
|---|
| rockoman | esc | 01:58 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, o ok, so if i dl tightvnc on the windows box it'll work? | 01:58 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, ok | 01:58 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: yes, I do know for sure that the error you got is due to using a free client on windows trying to connect to the enterprise realvnc server on windows | 01:58 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | Woh, Photoshop 7.0 works SO fast using Wine... I never would've imagined | 01:58 |
|---|
| rockoman | is there something i can edit the commands before booting? | 01:58 |
|---|
| juano__ | TheMasticator: 7.0 is pretty old | 01:59 |
|---|
| kelsin | TheMasticator: wine isn't an emulator, what it's doing shouldn't result in a speed slowdown, just a "a lot of things don't work" problem | 01:59 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, boot he alt cd, select eh command line, mount the ubuntu partition, ( sudo mkdir /mnt/ubu /dev/hda1 , or whatever it is ) then, cd /mnt/ubu/etc/X11 , sudo nano xorg.conf , find hte horiz sync line and change it for the range of your monitor | 01:59 |
|---|
| kelsin | TheMasticator: hence wine able to run a lot of games just fine | 01:59 |
|---|
| juano__ | TheMasticator: CS2 is the newest | 01:59 |
|---|
| rockoman | k give me a minute | 01:59 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | yeah, I know 7 is just all I have | 02:00 |
|---|
| TheMasticator | and it runs faster in linux using wine than windows XP or Vista | 02:00 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, you do realise that I am making this up as I go at this time | 02:00 |
|---|
| spiffman | juano__ there's cs3 now | 02:00 |
|---|
| juano__ | TheMasticator: heh | 02:00 |

| Iggz | Hi,can anyone tell me if there is a cammand line to disable 3d desk-top effects from the recovery screen? :-) | 02:01 |

|---|

| chaosrl | i guess since i'm here and procrastinating studying for finals, does anyone know how to get battle.net for starcraft to work in ubuntu? | 02:02 |

| Pelo | rockoman, but if you want you can try installing a command line system and if that goes whell we can try intalling a desktop ontop afterwards | 02:02 |
|---|
| spiffman | juano__ what happened when you tried to run/install them? | 02:02 |
|---|
| rockoman | bazhang, i already saw that site, thank you, but i cant get to a command | 02:03 |

| juano__ | spiffman: eemm... i installed fine, but then i tried running and nothing it just didn't do nothing at all... , but there was a waring message at installation sayin dreamweaver needed IE4 or something like that, but i read that you can ignore that and it won't affect running | 02:03 |
|---|
| Pelo | rockoman, I'mgoing to bed in 30 min , I'll wait for you as long as I can | 02:04 |

| kelsin | r3n0c: so you havn't installed the enterprise edition yet? Does it overwrite the ubuntu one or something? | 02:06 |
|---|
| Oerllikon | its a nokia 6555b | 02:06 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Just wanted to ask one quick question: If my Live CD installer get's stuck on language selection on my laptop is it because of the small RAM I have? Would the alternate (text-based) installer work? | 02:06 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, i didn't install it, i just extracted it to desktop, it is a standalone app | 02:06 |
|---|
| Oerllikon | yea, the one i found was just an ubuntu symbol with the previous theme | 02:06 |
|---|
| kelsin | papuccino1: trying the alternate text-mode installer is always a good idea for stalls on the live cd version | 02:06 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, but i wanna make it so tat i can type vncviewer in terminal to run it | 02:06 |
|---|
| r3n0c | an dit is currently pointing to the free version | 02:07 |
|---|
| Pelo | papuccino1, yes | 02:07 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Thank you very much kelsin. Downloading it right now from the torrent. =) | 02:07 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: i would place it in /usr/local/bin, that comes ahead of /usr/bin in the path | 02:07 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, yeah, but how do i get rid of the vncviewer that came with ubuntu | 02:07 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Ok, see ya later. | 02:07 |
|---|
| kelsin | papuccino1: the installer steps are identical so it's just as easy (imo) but will get you a system to debug if there is an issue | 02:07 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, they are both called "vncviewer" | 02:07 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Yeah, I read in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/I386 | 02:07 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: "sudo aptitude search vnc" to find which vnc packages are installed, then remove them like you were doing with the right package names | 02:08 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | Thank you again. Ubuntu rocks so far. I love it. =D | 02:08 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, thanks | 02:08 |
|---|
| juano__ | spiffman: i think wine is a bit worse then they put it... never really *worked* for me | 02:08 |
|---|
| Oerllikon | wordi love ubuntu | 02:08 |
|---|
| kelsin | r3n0c: you can also do "dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncviewer" I think to find which package owns the ubuntu one | 02:08 |
|---|
| debaser | juano__: wine is still in beta | 02:08 |
|---|
| chaosrl | Oerllikon have you tried making your own? http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/7e78403b-ce27-42c3-ba3c-d8629da7622a/Nokia_Series_40_Theme_Studio.html | 02:08 |
|---|
| * Pelo just sits here and soaks up the love | 02:08 |
| chaosrl | or is that not a Series 40? | 02:08 |
|---|
| kelsin | juano__: still in beta like debaser said but even so it runs all my blizzard games, so I'm happy | 02:09 |
|---|
| chaosrl | i don't know much about nokias | 02:09 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, the second one dpkg... is not found | 02:09 |
|---|
| Oerllikon | i think its series 60 | 02:09 |
|---|
| juano__ | debaser: kelsin yeh, ive been able to run some games though thats true | 02:09 |
|---|
| spiffman | juano__ yea, i think it was more directed towards specific apps, like photoshop, rather than every windows app | 02:09 |
|---|
| Oerllikon | it doesnt recognize .sis files, the more common ones | 02:09 |
|---|
| juano__ | spiffman: i agree | 02:09 |
|---|
| debaser | juano__, kelsin: that's mostly a "courtesy" from the developers, only technically is still in beta | 02:10 |
|---|
| r3n0c | kelsin, found it, the built in one is called xvnc4viewer | 02:10 |
|---|
| papuccino1 | One more question please: What are the absolute specs needed for Ubuntu 7.10 to run decently. I don't need the extra compiz, just the normal with a little animation going on. Nothing too fancy. Would it run ok on: 256Mb RAM, 1.2Ghz processor, 20Gb hard disk laptop? | 02:10 |

| fimmtiu | Pidgin. | 02:34 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: if it's done via that synaptic interface it probably means both can't be installed at once, so does forcing the gutsy version solve the issue? | 02:34 |
|---|
| PSPJunkie_ | pidgin | 02:34 |

| Fawkesfyre | so i try to install ubunty on hdb.. and the system hangs before grub loads | 02:34 |
|---|
| Fawkesfyre | yay | 02:34 |
|---|
| SpookyET | kelsin: Yeah, I'm running the gutsy version. My question is how do I remove the hacked up version from the database. | 02:35 |
|---|
| osqay | my ubuntu did not detect my notebook webcam, Sonic....anybody here can help me plz.. | 02:35 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: you have to wait a bit | 02:35 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: how did you install it in the first place? | 02:35 |
|---|
| SpookyET | deb | 02:35 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: until Ubuntu finishes loading, since getty for tty1-9 hasn't started | 02:35 |
|---|
| kahrytan | evanotten➲ not to be confused with pigeon | 02:35 |

| scguy318 | marc: eventually you should get a login prompt | 02:35 |

| sieben | is there any way to compile a C# project from visual studio in ubuntu? | 02:35 |
|---|
| IanLiu | I installed eclipse via apt-get, but it is saying I need JRE... don't apt-get install all necessary stuffs? | 02:35 |
|---|
| scguy318 | sieben: using Visual Studio? not at all | 02:36 |
|---|
| scguy318 | sieben: you could possibly compile via Mono tho | 02:36 |
|---|
| spiffman | Fawkesfyre your boot order in bios is correct? i plugged in an external and it wouldn't load grub, it was trying to boot from THAT drive | 02:36 |
|---|
| sieben | yeah im trying to get it to run in mono, but i need to fix something | 02:36 |
|---|
| SpookyET | kelsin: deb, but they are not listed as 2 separate debs. they are listed under the same package, but it allows you to choose between the versions | 02:36 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: oh like individual deb? not adding a 3rdparty repo? | 02:36 |
|---|
| sieben | but i need to recompile | 02:36 |
|---|
| scguy318 | sieben: Visual Studio 2003 and above simply do not work on Wine unfortunately | 02:36 |
|---|
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman hmm could be | 02:36 |
|---|
| SpookyET | kelsin: Yeah. individual deb. | 02:36 |
|---|
| juano__ | IanLiu: you need to install sun-jre-6 package | 02:36 |
|---|
| elrics_fate | #0 | 02:36 |
|---|
| sieben | ok, i guess i have to reboot, fix it, reboot and test =/ | 02:36 |
|---|
| elrics_fate | join #0 | 02:36 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: and it's still there after you "Reload" in synaptic? | 02:36 |
|---|
| IanLiu | juano__: ok, I will try, thanks | 02:37 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: also try search for the deb file on your system and removing it from the apt cache | 02:37 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: just "======..."? | 02:37 |
|---|
| marc | yep | 02:37 |
|---|
| SpookyET | Yeah it is, because it is installed. | 02:37 |
|---|
| leachim6 | Hey | 02:37 |
|---|
| leachim6 | I just installed ubuntu gutsy desktop last night | 02:37 |
|---|
| leachim6 | and when I boot up I get a progress bar | 02:37 |
|---|
| juano__ | IanLiu: sun-jre-bin6 somethin like that can't recall the exact name, but search for the similarity in synaptic | 02:37 |
|---|
| leachim6 | How can I get a verbose boot ? | 02:37 |
|---|
| marc | ive tried downgrading ubuntu and i get the same thing | 02:37 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: remove quiet splash flags | 02:38 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: in menu.lst | 02:38 |
|---|
| Iggz | Another daft question: How do you finsd what graphics driver you are using in 7.4? | 02:38 |
|---|
| leachim6 | in grub ? | 02:38 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: yeah | 02:38 |
|---|
| Iggz | *find | 02:38 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: just find the line that says | 02:38 |
|---|
| SpookyET | kelsin: I don't see apt-cache remove | 02:38 |
|---|
| IanLiu | juano__: I found it. sun-java6-jre | 02:38 |
|---|
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman nope didnt fix anything | 02:38 |
|---|
| IanLiu | juano__: Thanks | 02:38 |

| fimmtiu | I'm unable to compile working programs on a new gutsy desktop install, because malloc() keeps scribbling on the stack of anything I compile. Very small test case: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48034/ At the very least, if someone could try it on their system and see whether it's just my box, I would be grateful. | 02:38 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: I meant remove the deb package from the place on the filesystem where apt stores debs, not anything to do with the apt-cache command, looking for the path now | 02:38 |
|---|
| leachim6 | which file do I edit...i know I can do it from the grub menu...but I don't feel like rebooting right now | 02:39 |
|---|
| osmosis | how difficult is it for me to setup some sort of local smtp server so I can send msgs without needing someone elses smtp. | 02:39 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: # defoptions=quiet splash | 02:39 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: and remove quiet splash | 02:39 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: save, then sudo update-grub | 02:39 |
|---|
| spiffman | Fawkesfyre you booting more than one os on this drive? | 02:39 |
|---|
| scguy318 | leachim6: make sure to edit menu.lst as root by doing gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:39 |
|---|
| kelsin | SpookyET: if the deb is in /var/cache/apt/archives remove it, then reload and see if it's still an options | 02:39 |
|---|
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman: no i just put xp on hda | 02:39 |

| scguy318 | marc: you might have bad memory | 02:42 |
|---|
| Fawkesfyre | spiffman: thanks ;) | 02:42 |
|---|
| rexus | can you guys provide some links? | 02:42 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: I had issues like this on a machine, that's what the cause was | 02:43 |
|---|
| kelsin | rexus: ubuntu maintains all packages that are official and you can search on packages.ubuntu.com | 02:43 |
|---|
| naes | there are instances where systems get "broken" | 02:43 |
|---|
| marc | oh ;/ | 02:43 |
|---|
| leachim6 | I thought it was in /boot/grup | 02:43 |

|---|
| dafyre | Howdy all. | 02:43 |

| rexus | is it gutsy? | 02:46 |

| kelsin | fimmtiu: I get the same results as you but I don't know near enough about c to know what's wrong | 02:46 |

|---|
| juano__ | rexus: yes 7.10 is ubuntu's gutsy gibbon release | 02:46 |

| rly | hey, how to install a printer/scanner? | 02:46 |
|---|
| Zikiti | I am on a very limited net connection and wanted to do a clean reinstall of gutsy. So I copied my /var/.../apt/cache and did "apt-ftpcahce..." to create a personal update repository to avoid having to redownload all updates. BUt some of the packages have a "%" sign in the file name and synaptics then reports that it can't find my update even though it'sthere. Am I missing something during the repository creation? | 02:46 |
|---|
| dafyre | Ubuntu 7.10. | 02:46 |
|---|
| eshaase | is there such thing as a standard packet tracing tool included by default in linux distributions? | 02:46 |
|---|
| dafyre | Runs great... until I start using it. | 02:46 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: let it run for a while | 02:47 |
|---|
| dafyre | eshaase... I prefer Wireshark or tcpdump. | 02:47 |
|---|
| marc | k | 02:47 |
|---|
| marc | i'll let u know when its done | 02:47 |
|---|
| kelsin | eshaase: tcpdump collects packages, and wireshark seems to be the favorite gui client | 02:47 |
|---|
| dafyre | Yes! @ Kelsin. | 02:47 |

| JT-SMC-OE | does anybody know of a program for linux to do text substition at the Window Manager level | 02:48 |

|---|
| wy | any ideas about how to get the default size of emacs-gtk in the newest version of Ubuntu? All my former ways failed | 02:48 |
|---|
| eshaase | dafyre: tcpdump doesn't actually analyze packets though no? | 02:48 |
|---|
| JT-SMC-OE | I have a helpdesk where I put ticket template text into tickets.. but cant find anything for gnome | 02:49 |
|---|
| rexus | does gutsy have the composite of compiz and beryl? | 02:49 |
|---|
| PriceChild | rexus, system > preferences > desktop effects | 02:49 |
|---|
| brennanos | anyone know how to track down the cause of modprobe failures when trying to boot Ubuntu from the live CD? | 02:49 |
|---|
| Avt | rexus compiz was in my updates so probly | 02:49 |
|---|
| dafyre | eshaase: If you want to Analyze the packets, Wireshark is the way to go. | 02:49 |
|---|
| dafyre | I use tcpdump for actually doing the captures. | 02:49 |
|---|
| eshaase | but i'm looking for something installed by default | 02:49 |
|---|
| kelsin | fimmtiu: this is very odd, but if I add a print statement to print argc right before the return statement, I don't get that happening... | 02:49 |
|---|
| dafyre | (less cpu intensive). | 02:49 |
|---|
| scguy318 | marc: if it finds any errors, then memory is most definitely the culprit | 02:49 |
|---|
| dafyre | You can install tcpdump & wireshark from apt-get | 02:49 |
|---|

| Sande1 | Following problem, just installed Ubuntu 7.10 form a live cd on a free slave harddisk of 80 gigs, primary hd has Vista on it | 03:29 |

| Sande1 | Now I get with starting up Grub error 17 | 03:30 |
|---|
| zenrium | memorylenin : this is a wireless network I presume? what does your ifconfig show? and theres prob some info in sudo tail /var/log/messages as well | 03:30 |
|---|
| Sande1 | Third harddisk is a SATA harddisk of 160 gig, not used... | 03:30 |
|---|
| whatevr | I just installed ubuntu 7.10 no a machine, and when ever the gui starts, it mucks up and all I see is a navy blue screen with horizonal lines across the screen | 03:30 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | im using gaim..is the anyway to have it sense a message that has been sent and have it react to that message. so for instance if someone said hey that woudl tell gaim to shutdown? | 03:30 |
|---|
| Sande1 | master and slave are PATA | 03:30 |

| whatevr | I am suspecting it is a driver issue... how can I fix this? | 03:30 |

| tony_math | zenrium: The solution you gave me worked. I typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and went through the prompts to reconfigure X to be consistent with GNOME. The error message that I was getting about X keyboard settings being different from GNOME has gone. Thanks! :) | 03:31 |
|---|
| LiMaO | lovedeatm: there's a way to do that, just browse thru the menus and you'll find it | 03:31 |

| * Sande1 is following link of zenrium - Thanks! | 03:31 |

| KyleS | lol | 03:31 |

| KyleS | yah, automatix2 | 03:31 |

| LiMaO | wy: open up a browser window and load folder fonts:/// | 03:32 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | limao, the only thing i see closest to that is prepend to string | 03:32 |

| LiMaO | wy: then just copy the fonts you want to install to that folder | 03:32 |

| bjbum | anyone here ever install djmount? | 03:32 |

| LiMaO | wy: yeah, file browser window, sorry | 03:33 |
|---|
| Sande1 | Zenrium, I'll be right back to try the bios sollution, not sure if it will help as I can't detect the SATA harddisk in BIOS as it has its own bios | 03:33 |
|---|
| Sande1 | brb | 03:33 |

| zenrium | whatevr: I think for the third time today I might have a possible solution with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org | 03:33 |

| memoryLenin | i'm using a wireless network, but when i turn on my computer, sometimes it'll connect and die shortly after, and sometimes when it doesn't i'll try to connect and it will take a long time and eventually quit trying to connect. I set my wireless network to roaming, and it shows it when i left click on network manager as 61% strength. | 03:34 |
|---|
| memoryLenin | any advice anybody | 03:35 |
|---|
| memoryLenin | ? | 03:35 |
|---|
| wy | LiMaO: What kind of file manager are you using? I'm using the default gnome one. | 03:35 |

| zenrium | memorylenin - sorry but no use to you I dont think.. not done much in the way of wireless with ubuntu yet myself :( | 03:35 |

| tarelerulz | Wireless with ubuntu is still hard. I got the card to work ,but have yet to try wep or any other encrytion | 03:36 |
|---|
| naes | lenin search for your lspci output for you w/less card in the forum, sometimes with certain wireless cards drivers have to be blacklisted or something | 03:36 |
|---|
| TigranG | Is 40 C hot for a hard drive? | 03:36 |
|---|
| zenrium | Voyage__: one way to try to find out why is to right click the icon on the sys tray - select properties - copy and paste the command it runs to start the program into a terminal window so the output when it bombs is displayed in the terminal window to giv eyou some insight | 03:36 |
|---|
| gvsa123 | Voyage__: sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter status to see of it's running | 03:36 |

| tarelerulz | Kyles is wpa new? My router that I am trying to connect says wep . How do you know what you have | 03:37 |
|---|
| memoryLenin | when i installed my driver | 03:37 |

| gvsa123 | Voyage__: did you comment out this line in the sudoers: #Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn | 03:38 |

| memoryLenin | i had to blacklist the one it loaded by default | 03:38 |

| TigranG | NotSoGutsy: just click that applet | 03:39 |

| zenrium | notsogutsy I must be misunderstanding you... the system monitor shows all processes running and you can sort them by CPU load | 03:39 |

| zenrium | notsogutsy : no doubt its rounding off all the other ones that are doing little bits but giving you a grand total on them all | 03:42 |
|---|
| TigranG | NotSoGutsy: What kind of apps are you running? | 03:42 |
