[00:00] I have a question--I installed awn..saved it in my session..and now I can't boot back into Gnome in my regular ID..what do I need to do [00:00] for tragic reasons (hdd failure), i'm using ubuntu live usb to keep up with email. Is there a way to prevent myself from losing my settings every reboot -or- a way to restore them? [00:00] mindy go to a pastebin and paste the text in the /var/log/X0rg.0.log file [00:00] mindy: or you can just upload it from the page at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [00:00] kling0n: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48014/ [00:00] I want to watch mpg at full screen what is the best aplication to be able to do this from online? [00:01] klng0n: I think... [00:01] I have question about the 64 bit and the 32 bit version of ubuntu. [00:01] any one [00:01] huss_: ps x|grep avant-window-manager check if its even running) [00:01] TCHP: eh? [00:01] chapium: I think the knoppix distro has a usb pendrive solution that fits the bill [00:01] jensiendied: I have a question--I installed awn..saved it in my session..and now I can't boot back into Gnome in my regular ID..what do I need to do [00:01] huss_: erm [00:01] huss_: avant-window-navigator [00:01] hello guys? [00:01] kling0n: i already have the drive setup [00:02] lds you could remove the session from your $HOME/.gconfd/saved_state [00:02] Klingon: cool..thanks.. [00:02] has the flash plug in been fixed yet? [00:02] chapium: what is the problem then? [00:02] Bryan: I guess the topic will change then. [00:02] exit [00:03] kling0n: particularly, i'd like to just retain some common settings like gnome desktop configuration, firefox settings, and pidgin. I can figure out firefox and pidgin, but i'm not sure which hidden files i need to save (ala email to self) to keep gnome happy [00:03] is it my turn yet? [00:03] thank you all for my help [00:03] your help* [00:03] hehe, very tired [00:03] hehe [00:03] chapium: if nothing else, you could softlink your $HOME/.gnome2 and $HOME/.gnome2_private to the appropriate directories on the usb drive [00:03] !ask | Avt [00:03] Avt: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) === bjbummer is now known as bjbum [00:03] * anne_ goes to bed [00:03] anne can you help me [00:03] jensendied, how to know that it is working? i typed the 2 orders [00:03] yeah? avt [00:03] chapium: provided you have the space for it of course [00:03] quickly [00:03] help to self help. :) [00:03] i´ve got to run [00:03] phibxr, :x sorry. okay, thanks for the answer [00:03] ah, ive got one more question [00:04] chapium: that would mirror all the fetched email too [00:04] anne_: yes?

[00:05] jensendied, you still there !! [00:05] did you guys see my ? [00:05] Saskel: Webpages aren't OS dependant. [00:05] huss_: the first one i typo'd `ps -x |grep avant` is what we basically wanted. [00:05] Avt: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer [00:06] hey guys i need some desperate help. how do i reinstall i guess screens and graphics? basicaly every time i select it it does not open, and my screen size is totally buggered! it happened while trying to connect an lcd monitor as secondary. but, whatever, ill do tht later, i just need to resize my desktop! [00:06] k thx [00:06] zgmf-x20a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:06] zgmf-x20a: I believe that's what you're after. [00:06] kling0n: were you able to view my pastebin url ? [00:06] Soskel: define "works on ubuntu" please [00:06] zgmf-x20a: It'll restore your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the default. [00:07] mindy: hang on [00:07] kling0n: runs on ubuntu without error [00:07] I think it's a pretty straight forward request [00:07] jensendied, I had this massage "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [00:07] 9545 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep avant" [00:07] kling0n: sorry...no rush. "nv" driver okay for now. [00:08] mindy: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [00:08] mindy: more info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [00:08] 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) [00:09] Personally, I prefer to simply install Envy. I've spent too much time trying to manually install the driver. [00:09] kling0n seems the same thing is happening should I uninstall a plugin? [00:09] kling0n: it may help to mention that I'm running the 2.6.17-11 image...not 2.6.22 [00:09] Soskel: the webpage renders just fine with firefox for me :) [00:09] ok I got an answer I was looking for from the faq... [00:09] When is ubuntu going to release 2.6.24 kernel with cfs? [00:09] Avt: check about:plugins in firefox to see which plugins you've got [00:09] loke: cool thank you ill give that a try! :) [00:09] zgmf-x20a: Not a problem. [00:09] Avt: I personally removed other media player plugins on my installation in order to use mplayer [00:09] but then last time I had ubuntu I had a very hard problem running my raid HD [00:10] Avt: although i'm sure there's a neater way of ndoing it, that seems to work for me :) [00:10] is that any better now in 7.10 [00:10] jensendied, I did and that was the result "avant-window-navigator [00:10] Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositi" [00:10] huss_: You'll need compiz or xcompmgr in order for awn to display properly. [00:10] 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] page [00:11] sorry but i gtg [00:11] huss_: ic, seems like you either need to change WM's or possibly X settings [00:11] Could someone please see if the application from http://imageprocessinglab.com works in ubuntu? [00:11] Soskel: Several people have confirmed that it functions. [00:11] hey, i was wondering if any of you know any way to make the volume control in gnome control more than one source at once (ie control the master and the headphone at the same time) [00:11] kling0n: i'm cool with that, but won't i need sources for 2.6.17-11 installed on my Gutsy? [00:12] iam using virtual box to run winxp . how to share files and folders in win xp? it only shows c: . (in linux virtual box tells me to use "net use x:\\vboxsvr\shareedfoldername" ) didnt got it. [00:12] loke: I am not asking if the web page loads fine [00:12] mindy: Why not use the latest kernel? [00:12] soooooo what should I do guys plz I don't know [00:12] loke: it won't boot with my USB keyboard connected...not sure why. Hangs at io scheduler [00:12] mindy: Interesting. I would certainly look into "Envy". [00:12] loke: Envy ? [00:12] mindy: It's an automatic installer for the nvidia drivers. [00:13] hmmm... [00:13] what do I need to install to get the Add/Remove thing? [00:13] loke: thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. [00:13] huss_: glxinfo |grep rendering [00:13] kling0n heres the pic http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotaboutpluginsmxf0.jpg [00:13] mindy: Quite welcome. There should be a guide on the ubuntuforums. [00:13] Avt: I believe Klingon left. [00:13] loke can you help me? [00:14] is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. [00:14] Avt: It's unlikely. I'm tending to simple questions as I'm pre-occupied. [00:14] jensenDied: it is "direct rendering : Yes" [00:14] mindy: yup, if you compile it you will need the headers [00:14] who can help me? [00:14] Kling0n! :D [00:14] * Pelo mutters something about not getting paid enough for this and punches in [00:15] Avt: you might want to remove the totem mozilla plugin [00:15] ook ty [00:15] kling0n: Don't forget to mention the mod he/she'll need to make in order to not have to re-install the drivers after every reboot. [00:15] Soskel: running the app with mono iplab.exe gives me a crash [00:15] Hello all, I was curious to know if there was a good resource for pre-configured themes, I cannot seem to figure out how to customize my task bar color to resemble my window color scheme. Thank you in advance for any assistance. [00:15] kling0n: can i apt-get those? [00:15] jensenDied: it is "direct rendering : Yes" is that good or not ?

[00:17] mindy: i'd suggest putting some effort into getting ti working with packages first [00:17] Voyage__, I think you'll havwe to ask in the #vbox channel [00:17] mindy: there are a number of issue in connection with running your own build inclusing having to rebuild the module each time you upgrade kernel === etotheipi is now known as _etotheip [00:17] huss_: looks like you want to follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/InstallingCompiz [00:17] mindy: have you done a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ? [00:17] Avt, try a different site or file, some just don't work well, specialy some versions of wmv [00:18] o [00:18] kling0n: yea..it's downloading the 2.6.22 kernel image at the moment [00:18] mindy: btw disabling usb keyboard/mouse in your bios might remove your boot issue :) [00:19] jensenDied: thanks so much I hope it works [00:19] evanotten, on www.gnome-look.org , you will see themes and theme parts, and other eyecandy stuff, you get categories on left hand side of the webiste, emerald themes is what you want for compiz-fusion [00:19] awesome thank you [00:19] * Pelo is awesome [00:19] * Pelo must be in the wrong channel [00:19] What do I need install to have the Add/Remove application thing? e.g. did minimum install and don't have it by default. [00:20] is there some particular reason while, under windows, I get 54 Mbps and under ubuntu I get around 24? I have broadcom 43xx on a dell inspiron 1520. I'm using the restricted drivers. [00:20] I want something that just works period.... [00:20] Odd-rationale, do you have a gui at all ? [00:20] Bryan: What are you using to test your Internet connection? [00:20] mindy: I'm going to go to sleep pretty soon... please focus on getting the precompiled modules to work for you first unless you are comfortable compiling and disabling specific modules from the modprobe sequence [00:20] loke, the "connection information" button lol [00:20] Pelo: Yes. I aslo have synaptic. just want the add/remove thing. [00:20] Avt, did you install mplayer-mozilla and remove mozilla-totem ? [00:20] loke, but i've also used speedtest.net and I get different speeds there too. [00:20] Bryan: Compare your speeds by using an online tool, such as speedtest.net [00:21] Ah. [00:21] and I mean different by like 5 mb/s [00:21] hello [00:21] Odd-rationale, look in menu > system > prefs> main menu , maybe you just need to check the box to see the menu item [00:21] hello yavuz_ [00:21] at first I thought It was because I was on the campus wifi, but then I went home over thanksgiving break and it was still maxing out around 24 [00:21] will i need to install an app like wine to run yahoo messenger on? [00:21] * kling0n goes to bed now [00:21] cyas [00:22] Pelo: I don't have the gnome DE I have fluxbox. [00:22] evanotten: There are linux alternatives. [00:22] Bryan: Sorry, not sure how to help you from there. [00:22] hmm [00:22] evanotten: Look into "Pidgin" (formerly GAIM) [00:22] well, is there anyway to update the restricted drivers? [00:22] Odd-rationale, add/remove is a gnome thing, yo can always try with , sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install maybe that will install the package you need to have it [00:22] ok will do thanks again sorry to bother you guys [00:22] or to check if there is an update for the restricted drivers [00:22] only english [00:23] another langues [00:23] Bryan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -- in the terminal to get the official updates. [00:23] evanotten, no bother this is what we come here for, we like showing off our knowledge of ubuntu [00:23] Pelo: OK I'll try. Xubuntu has it by defualt, though. [00:23] yavuz_, what is your native language ? [00:23] its much appreciated [00:23] is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? [00:23] loke, so that gets the restricted driver updates as well? [00:23] turkey [00:23] is there some software to linux thta show the bitrates of the mp3 and this information? ... in nautilus ... ou something ... to list ... [00:24] Odd-rationale, xubuntu runs some gnome items to compasate for xcfe's uther lightness [00:24] Bryan: If you have the universe repository uncommented, then it should.

[00:24] Odd-rationale: since it's just ANOTHER front end for apt-get (like synaptic) and fluxbox is meant to be minimal it makes sense that it doesn't install it by default [00:24] ok I am very new to linux and I have NO clue how to install any program and I've been pulling my hair out for an hour trying to install java. Can't you simply double click to install something?!? [00:24] chd176: just type " [00:24] Bryan:after an update/upgrade and restricted driver manager not normally running, then alt-f2 restricted-manager [00:24] I'm trying to get a logitech camera working in Gutsy. I ran lsusb and found the camera. I checked /dev/video0 and that has data. Camorama can't connect to /dev/video0. Any ideas?

[00:24] kling0n: if I disable USB support, I actually get to a splash-screen but it still hangs. [00:24] oh ok in the terminal thing? [00:24] kelsin: I understand that. That is why I want to install myself :) [00:24] is there a wild card cmd to look for a folder on your drive not knowing the full path? [00:25] how to fix ubuntu to make it run more quickly anyone [00:25] chd176: yep, you can also run synaptic from System -> Admin and search for sun-java6-jre and install it that way [00:25] Kuropon: locate folder [00:25] dolphin_noel, it use to but it got left of at some point, you can see those info by rightclicking hte file in rythembox and going to properties, or if you want a seperate app to do It easytag also displays them [00:25] used envy already for drivers [00:25] thomas_: Quickly in which respect? [00:25] alright thanks guys :o guess i'll just have to deal with my slow wifi ^_^ [00:25] thomas_, reinstall the drivers manualy [00:25] or, wait for an update [00:25] !ati | thomas_ [00:25] thomas_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:25] thanks >_> [00:25] the last issue i had a question on was that i am currently on a wireless network at home here, and it seems when i boot in xp my browsing is much faster than in kubuntu, i am not sure if this is right but i had an idea that i may need to disable IPv6 and try a config tweak in firefox.. Does this sound like it may resolve the slow browsing speeds? [00:25] programs load slowly and freeze [00:26] yeah just tried it and it didn't work [00:26] got an error saying its not available [00:26] evanotten: IPv6 should make little differnce. [00:26] evanotten: disabling ipv6 won't make a difference. [00:26] chd176: need to enable the universe repo I think [00:26] Pelo well i was just think that was sme software tha show this in nautilus like ... we see the size file we can see the bitrates frm mp3 :x ok thank you very much :) [00:26] i was wondering that..

[00:36] chd176: no just install flash from synaptic or download it from adobe just like in windows :) [00:36] apt-get install cc :S [00:36] 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: You mean gcc? [00:36] rofl [00:36] Pelo: thank you :-) [00:36] WildnQIk: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [00:36] ok cool [00:36] thats the one [00:36] cheers kelsin [00:36] Kuropon: when you get a chance... do man tar in a term [00:36] MrLint, did you get the ppc live cd ? [00:36] loke, well wget defaults it to my /cache dir.. is it ok to extract stuff in there? [00:36] Kuropon: You mean /tmp? [00:36] 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] pelo : Im pretty sure i did, the boot screen saya live is the default option. [00:37] JensenDied, do you still here? [00:37] chd176: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:37] Kuropon: If you're running it from the command line (terminal), it'll download it to the current location. [00:37] MrLint: at the first menu hit F6 then noapic if that dosent work there are other options to try [00:37] 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] huss_: yeah somewhat [00:37] loke, /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [00:37] is the location of it [00:37] jack : ok i'll give that a shot, i tried the no OF vid thing but that ended with the same result. [00:37] chd176: restricted formats have support for lots of file types, like mp3, mp4 .. [00:37] Kuropon: You can extract it there if you'd like. It makes no real difference. [00:38] * Pelo sees Jack_Sparrow rushing to MrLint 's rescue and decides to but out [00:38] heh :) [00:38] * loke will return in less than 5 minutes. Do not fear! [00:38] :) [00:38] JensenDied, compiz did put the same massage for the "avant-window-navigato" [00:38] 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] oh ok cool [00:38] the mplayer i just install still is stopping mpg after I uninstall totem firefox can someone please help me with this issue? [00:38] huss_: you might need to restart X in order for compiz to run when you login [00:39] Avt, cna yo try downloading the file and try it out from your pc ? [00:39] I did but "Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager" [00:39] for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [00:39] whats a good program to use on ubuntu that has webmail ? [00:39] 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] 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? [00:40] * 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] WildnQIk: do you mean you want to run a webmail server? [00:40] yeah [00:40] loke, doing an apt-get clean in a later date would get rid of it right? [00:40] whoops i forgot i wasnt on irc in shell in that window:) [00:40] chd176: they pay patent fees to whatever comapnies to support it [00:40] chd176, copyright issues, apple and ms can afford to pay thomson for the rights [00:40] chd176: if you want a legal mp3 decoder you can get one free from fluendo [00:40] Pelo: they shoud have the installer fixed soon [00:40] pelo I will try it [00:40] Kuropon, loke is afk atm , wait a bit and ask again when he returns [00:41] Avt: Perhaps install package totem-mozilla [00:41] genii, we just had him remove it [00:41] WildnQIk: squirrel mail is a nice webmail client, also there is a project called "Bongo" (picked up where Hula left off) that includes mail / calendar stuff like that [00:41] also while install java I got an error that the installer was corrupt do I just need to try it again? [00:41] WildnQIk: I have no experience running these on ubuntu though, so I don't know if they're packaged etc [00:41] where would i obtain squirrel mail [00:41] chd176, how did you try to install java ? [00:41] found it [00:42] JensenDied, k then, do you think it might be a vega card prob? [00:42] Pelo: So xmms- something then for the player? [00:42] Is there a one-line commander where I can disable my connected monitor? And turn it on again? [00:42] I went to the synaptic package manager and searched for java and installed the .jre file and also the plugin [00:42] jack di dyou say f6? [00:42] this is the error I recieved [00:42] I have an nvidia card. [00:43] I was told to uninstall totem-moz for mplayer moz to work [00:43] should I just put back totem moz [00:43] huss_: i dont think so. just pull up the run dialog (alt+f2): compiz --replace; avant-window-navigator [00:43] genii ' he's having difficulties palying mpeg in FF , he tried totem , he installed mplayer, we had him remove totem , now he's gonna try dling hte file and urnning it from the comp, I think the file is borked personnaly [00:43] E: sun-java5-jre: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [00:43] MrLint: at the start or install screen yes F6 [00:43] * nickrud thinks Jack_Sparrow is just dealing with reality [00:43] Pelo: Yeah one of those shoulda worked [00:44] guys should I put back totem moz and uninstall mplayer? [00:44] Avt: Not yet I would say [00:44] Avt, try it [00:44] the mplayer movie plays offline but not with the plugin [00:44] I need to get mplayer plugin workin [00:44] Pelo: I'll just observe to make things less confusing LOL [00:44] Avt, there is also a vlc-mozilla you can try [00:45] mozilla-plugin-vlc [00:45] genii, I'M sorry, we're just not in sync on this one [00:45] Pelo: Yup [00:45] Hi, I just deleted one folder, and I cant see it in the trash, any way I can get it back? [00:45] Alloosh: did you delete it as root.. that is a dif folder [00:45] * loke has returned [00:46] JensenDied, you know what it seems like I don't have luck, anyhow never mind and thanks a lot for you [00:46] mpg with vlc looks grainy :( [00:46] Jack ok i dont think im getting that far, Im at the YAboot screen and when i type "live" i get a little it of stuff then "Loading please wait" and then the black screen with a lone cursor in the upper left [00:46] * Pelo was afraid loke would return and his fears are confirmed [00:46] loke from anandtech forums? [00:46] well I have to go for now [00:46] thanks to all who helped [00:46] Jack_Sparrow: I am not logged in as root, but the file owner is the user iam using now. [00:46] * genii sips a coffee and thinks about Mac Yaboot linuxes [00:46] I will try to get it later [00:46] huss_: =[ its probably something simple im missing [00:47] Alloosh: How did you go about deleting the file? [00:47] Alloosh: Did you use sudo to delete it? [00:47] I'm havin' issues with flashplugin-nonfree [00:47] Viper550: MD5 issue? [00:47] Does anyone know how to temporarily turn off/disable your monitor from command line with a nvidia card? [00:47] genii: no its a folder not a file, I deleted it by selecting it and pressed delete. [00:47] JensenDied, may be, I'll try in any other time may be I got much better chance [00:48] why is this such a problem playing mpg in firefox? [00:48] loke: no I did not. [00:48] any kind of mpg [00:48] Avt, it usualy isn'T [00:48] actually. I'm under a 2nd user account. My first user used the option to install Flash on his account with Firefox [00:48] pelo hm?

[00:54] Pelo ah, thanks [00:54] i thought you said gparted instead of parted [00:54] Zylstra555: you need a / (root) partition that could be in example: ext3 [00:54] (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] Zylstra555: and a swap partition [00:54] 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] 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 [00:55] juano__: Okay, so, currently, I am in the installer.

[01:08] kitofhawaii: I agree... you need to keep them cool... but not in a freezer [01:09] ok i have successfully installed emeral themer [01:09] pelo whats the rest of it? [01:09] and imported dark ice theme [01:09] Pelo, Jack_sparrow, genii, and everyone else, thanks for the help [01:09] how do i apply it [01:09] ? [01:09] np [01:09] * Pelo does the dance of joy in honnor of evanotten [01:09] lol ty [01:09] evanotten just select it then restart X [01:09] evanotten, drag drop the tar-gz file on the theme manager , the emerald theme manager I mean [01:10] i am using a dynamic tunnel through SSH, i used freecap in Windows Vista, but I don't like using windoze to play if I don't have to. I want to socksify World of Warcraft in ubuntu. Is that possible? [01:10] naes: You don't restart x to apply a theme. [01:10] yea, but mine does .. [01:10] pelo? [01:10] kitofhawaii: It's usually a last-ditch attempt at that point anyhow so I don't really care much if it lives longer than 1/2 hr or so [01:10] the windows borders dont show up until i restart x.. [01:10] evanotten, btw for compiz related stuff , you get better help in #compiz-fusion [01:10] restart x, ? [01:10] naes: Then you're in the right channel to get support for that. =] [01:10] Avt, just clean install first [01:10] yeah my bad [01:10] thanks for your patience guys [01:10] evanotten, to clean isntall x crtl_alt_backspace [01:11] this was a clean install two hours ago see how long it took and I still fobar my mpg stuff so whats the rest of the stuff [01:11] how do I disable certain hardware? [01:11] when you "suspend" your computer what all exactly is it doing? [01:11] whenever my computer does something fullscreen, like a game or even screensaver, i can see the blocky outline of my panels and any semi-transparent windows... anyone else get that? [01:11] nilihanth: blacklist [01:11] hmm [01:11] Dethlok, ti copies your ram to the swap and turns of fthe cpu more or less [01:11] Dethlok: i believe turning off monitor, lowering power to hdd [01:11] im leaving pretty soon so I want to get this goin [01:11] does anyone play World of Warcraft over a firewall? [01:12] spiffman, running compiz ? [01:12] pelo, yes [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: what is "blacklist"? [01:12] loke and genii: fair enough, but usually we use peltier plates to accomplish that, not a residential freezer [01:12] is it good for your computer to use that when you are afk for long durations or just leaving it run normally? [01:12] spiffman, turn them off and see if it still happens [01:12] pelo can I repair install so it keep my background ect [01:12] Avt, jsut backup yoru /home folder [01:12] o [01:12] Dethlok: it is actually for that [01:12] pelo you mean the panels and windows? if i close them, there's no problem [01:12] Dethlok: when you don't want a full power-off [01:12] 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] nilihanth: not sure if that is what you want but... To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add " blacklist " to the end of that list - [01:12] Dethlok: I think the only benefit is that you don't have a noisy computer, or kill a laptop battery. [01:13] greetings [01:13] pelo, i just did something and i am back lol i am so confused man [01:13] Who plays World of Warcraft? [01:13] spiffman, I mean turn off the desktop effects , and see if it still happnes [01:13] so the cpu, ram and hdd's never actually shut down they just slow down [01:13] i play world of warcraft [01:13] evanotten, what did you do ? [01:13] do you play on ubuntu? [01:13] yep [01:13] over a firewall? [01:13] clean install buttons [01:13] flawlessly [01:14] wow i am cool [01:14] Dethlok, over a socks proxy before? [01:14] a firewall, i dont think, i never set one up so im guessing no [01:14] Jack_Sparrow: I dont see a "my_blacklist" file, but I do see a couple others with "blacklist" in the names [01:14] oh, im at school trying to play [01:14] so yeah no luck on the install of the new theme guess i should go to compiz irc? [01:15] i know of only one way so far and that is OpenVPN [01:15] evanotten, the compiz ppl will know exactly how you install an emerald theme yes, #compiz-fusion [01:15] nilihanth: Perhaps a description of the probem you are trying to fix.. [01:15] i only have OpenSSH install [01:15] evanotten: do you have the emerald themes manager installed? [01:15] hmmm, im guessing the firewall won't let you connect to the game? [01:15] yea [01:15] yeah just installed it but it doesnt show up [01:15] only ports 80 and 443 out [01:15] !firewall [01:15] 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] it downloaded from synaptic [01:15] noob ftw [01:15] 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] evanotten: press alt+f2 then type emerald-theme-manager in the box [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: sometimes it locks up my machine even [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: I found a file called "blacklist" in /etc/modprobe.d/ [01:16] pelo, if i turn all effects off, it works fine [01:16] k i got that up [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: it has things like "blacklist snd_intel8x0m" in it...is that what I want? [01:17] evan all you do is drag the emerald theme into the emerald theme manager [01:17] 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 === bruenig is now known as Evanlec_ [01:17] ok i see a screenshot of the them and the info i.e engine is pixmap [01:18] Sorry to spam - but anyone help quickly with a graphics driver problem? :-) [01:18] Pelo, thanks! i don't quite know why the panel would show up, the parts that bleed through are not semitransparent, but i'll just ask there i guess === Evanlec_ is now known as bruenig [01:18] yep, then you just select it [01:18] >loke === Synx_ubuntu is now known as Synx_hm [01:18] Iggz, we need to know the problem first [01:18] evanotten: click the theme and it should apply. [01:18] nilihanth: Yu are in an area I know little about... here is a link that MAY help.. not sure.. http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/10/24/ubuntu-gutsy-internet-help/ [01:18] Sorry I can't guide you step by step, as I can't run emerald or compiz here. [01:19] Jack_Sparrow: can you quickly tell me how to find out my module's name? [01:19] evanotten, go ansd ask in #compiz-fusion [01:19] no just has an option to clear, refresh delete import or quit at the bottom, when clicked it highlights but no action [01:19] k i will check it out [01:19] Is it a problem that when i use "dmesg | grep fglrx" it gives me fglrx 8.37.6, yet when i look in synaptic it shows that i have 8.44.3 installed? [01:19] how do i edit my ports for what is open ? [01:19] evanotten: Click the theme on the list on the left, it should apply automatically. [01:19] need some help setting up a nfs share and mount [01:19] chaosrl, did you manually install newer fglrx, not from the repositories? [01:19] If not, perhaps emerald isn't running. In which case. alt+f2 then type "emerald --replace" [01:20] does anybody know how to solve this bug with loading the "young" theme for edubuntu [01:20] Pelo: On login I now get a message that umbutu cannot connect to xserver. and taken to commnd line. I impute startx gnome but get error message unable to find nvedia - i assume graphics driver.... [01:20] xtknight: yes, and now i can not login as anything but failsafe [01:20] xtknight: From AnandTech? ;) [01:20] I assume this is a corrupted driver? it came after a crash - grphics related [01:20] loke, indeed lol i asked u the same thing an hr ago, u must have missed it [01:20] nilihanth: sorry , I was reading.. you mean like lspci or lsusb [01:20] xtknight: Sorry, I'm easily distracted. :D [01:20] Iggz, boot recovery mode type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select yoru driver again, for everthing else, pick the default provided unless you know for sure , the restart the comp [01:21] i have share an nfs folder and trying to mount it on a different machine i get permission denied. on the host i have added a line in ext/exports and use exportfs -ra afterwards but i still cant access any clue? [01:21] ;) [01:21] Pelo: thank you very much :-) [01:21] should i have installed from the repos? [01:21] xtknight: No longer from AT, though. Recently...re-banned. [01:21] lol [01:21] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I did lspci but I cannot tell what the name would be of the module...the name I'd type in "blacklist " [01:21] Can anyone point me to a document that shows the exact steps during the boot process of V7.10 ? [01:21] chaosrl, you should always install from the repos [01:21] chaosrl, want to revert to normal driver for awhile? [01:21] Pelo: I usually try the config with startx ... is that wrong.? [01:21] chaosrl, but yes use restricted manager for drivers [01:22] how would i do that? [01:22] Is ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso a livecd? [01:22] i'm currently using the restricted driver i think [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: Here is the line from lspci that describes the problematic device... [01:22] Jack_Sparrow, reconfigrueing will /should re-enable the autostart of X [01:22] loke, well im on ubutnu forums too, just not as often sometimes [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: 01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX [Linksys EtherFast 10/100] (rev 25) [01:22] logankoester: Yes. As long as "alternate" isn't in the filename, it's a liveCD. [01:22] thanks loke [01:22] Jack_Sparrow: is it "LNE100TX" ? [01:22] logankoester: You're welcome. [01:22] chaosrl, youre using fglrx from ati.com right now but we can uninstall this [01:22] afk [01:23] nilihanth: I am brain dead today... but yes.. that looks right... [01:23] chaosrl, do you remember downloading a .sh file? [01:23] Jack_Sparrow: lol, ok I'll try it...thanks! [01:23] xtknight: no, i had a .run file [01:23] chaosrl, ok that's good too [01:23] xtknight: if it helps, i used the guide from "mylittleubuntuguide" to try to get suspend/hibernate [01:23] which didn't work either :P [01:23] nilihanth: make a backup of your old file [01:23] chaosrl, hmm so it told you to install official fglrx to suspend? [01:24] i thought it was kind of wierd, but i guess so [01:24] anyone know if the ATI linux .run drivers support --uninstall from command line? [01:24] how do i set my time and date up manually ? === Evil is now known as embed [01:24] xtknight: here's a link to the guide: http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/2007/10/21/gutsy-suspend-hibernate-workingat-a-cost/ [01:24] nick fong [01:24] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, I will === onats is now known as fong [01:25] chaosrl, oh boy.. looks like we've got some stuff to revert. === fong is now known as onats [01:25] need help understanding the Ubuntu boot process - anyone familiar w/ this ? [01:25] chaosrl, ok, one sec [01:25] xtknight: i've uninstalled the packages from the first step (purged) [01:25] !grub [01:25] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:25] which then told me it needed libcairo+some other things again, which i allowed [01:26] chaosrl, ok, well the first pkgs are harmless, you can keep those. in fact you might want them. they are just build tools [01:26] how do i set my time and date up manually ?

I know this sounds weird, but I am using a powerline networking device, since I don't want to buy wifi for everything in my room. I think since the adapter is rated for 85mbps, the switch I have here might be setting it to 10mbps. Any one know how I can find out? [01:27] WildnQIk: Right click on the clock -> adjust time and date. Make sure you choose "manual" instead of synchronized, then adjust as you see fit. [01:27] Sorry, I meant after GRUB/LILO - I don't understand what happens (and how) when "init" is called [01:28] xtknight so use that line of code you just said?

I don't know the startup order but the upstart jobs are in /etc/event.d [01:40] xtknight: i'm getting E: Unmet dependencies. Try "apt-get -f install" with no packages (or specify a solution).

[01:41] !pastebin | chaosrl [01:41] TheMasticator, crossover is propriatary, apt is only for free stuff, you can get wine from apt-get [01:42] rockoman, you need to change the horiz sync values in your xorg.conf file to match that of your monitor [01:42] oh gotcha! Photoshop in Wine keeps telling me I am missing personalization information [01:42] rockoman: that means that your monitor is trying for a resolution your card is not set up for or does not support [01:42] I read that online, I dont know how to change it ;/ [01:42] xtknight: like this? [01:42] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48026/ [01:42] TheMasticator: have you check the wine appdb to see if there is a solution for that?

[01:44] chaosrl, nope [01:44] chaosrl, just the last one [01:44] i also used to alternative iso [01:44] rockoman, you can try from the alternate isntall cd , it is text based and is usualy less touchy about hardware when installing [01:44] xtknight, i've purged the last one now [01:44] because the live CD would freeze before it would get me to the live desktop [01:44] bjbum, restricted drivers [01:44] * Pelo is getting annoyed at rockoman [01:44] synaptic [01:44] chaosrl, sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [01:44] ok now try this [01:45] chaosrl, i gues if thats what u meant by last cmd, ya [01:45] rockoman, is this a laptop ? [01:45] nope [01:45] rockoman, older pc ? [01:45] i installed ubuntu fine on my laptop [01:45] about a year old [01:45] rockoman, what videocard ? [01:45] xtknight, it's finished [01:45] radeon 1300 series [01:45] chaosrl, ok, do you know how to configure your xorg to use fglrx? [01:45] rockoman, can you get the command line from anywhere ? [01:46] Does anyone know of a better Gnome (Ubuntu) menu editor? [01:46] xtknight: not really? i've been through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg a couple of times, but niether time went very smoothly [01:46] chaosrl, ok [01:46] let me see [01:46] chaosrl, try "gksu restricted-manager" now [01:46] how do i exit and save changed in iv? [01:46] Ttech, Itink that main-menu is it [01:47] localgod11, try crtl x or q [01:47] the menu editor? No other programs to edit the menu? [01:47] no [01:47] xtknight, it shows the same two as before, but now the ATI accelerated graphics driver is Enabled, but Not in use [01:47] 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] when im at the bootscreen and i press "ESC" i can press C to get to a command-line [01:47] thats about it [01:47] Ttech, not that I know of [01:47] chaosrl, ok that's good. try enabling now and you should be good [01:47] i do that sand it says ^mode [01:47] chaosrl, in the future always use restricted manager to install proprietary drivers, (if) possible [01:47] rockoman, ok sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sselect the vesa driver and for everthing else stick to the defaults [01:47] X^mode [01:47] xtknight: should i uncheck the enabled box and then recheck it? [01:48] i've compiled the latest asla as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:48] but still no go :'( [01:48] Error 27: Unrecognized Command ;'/ [01:48] chaosrl, hmm i guess? is there a way to tell it to use the driver? [01:48] chaosrl, i cant remember, im not using restricted right now [01:48] xtknight: yah, i'll probably not mess with my install until hh or a sure fix for suspend comes out [01:48] bjbum, menu > system> admin ( or prefs ) sound > check to make sure you card is selected in for all the kind of sounds [01:48] chaosrl, unenable and then reenable, then see if it notifies you of anything like "reboot to try your new restricted drivers" or whatever [01:49] xtknight: yeah, i'ts asking for a reboot [01:49] chaosrl, ok , well, reboot ;) [01:49] rockoman, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , just incase I misstyped earlier [01:49] i guess i'll go ahead and reboot and come back and let you know. thanks though! [01:49] should be fine after that [01:49] yea [01:49] ok [01:49] same error [01:49] its at a grub> command thing [01:50] rockoman, hmm [01:50] rockoman, I give up [01:50] ;/ [01:50] sorry [01:51] 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] i cant figure out why [01:51] live cd do not include ati or nvidia drivers because they are propriatary and livecd only include FOSS stuff [01:51] Pelo, i've tried them all on oss, asla. still doesn't work :( [01:52] bjbum, did yo try with the !sound troubler shooti8ng guide first ? [01:52] if it helps i cant access a Shell prompt when i use the alternative cd [01:52] *i CAN === jugh3ad is now known as jughead === reconnect is now known as recon [01:52] if that helps? [01:52] 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] xtknight: Success! Thank you so much! [01:53] chaosrl, glad i could make it a success ;P [01:53] those are always good words to hea r [01:53] i tried that already too ;/, i didnt even see the configure for the video when i installed [01:53] xtknight: i actually had one more question: what does gksu do? [01:53] 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] chaosrl, it is the graphical version of sudo, aka gksudo and gksu... same thing. they should be used when running GUI programs thru sudo [01:54] can somebody help me with connecting from an ubuntu comp to windows, via vncviewer [01:54] How do I "include '/usr/games' in the PATH enviroment variable? [01:54] so sudo gedit would be the same thing as gksu gedit, right? [01:54] the windows comp has a password [01:54] rockoman, you don'T get a configure for the video when you install from the alt cd or the live one [01:54] r3n0c: are you getting an error? [01:54] but vncviewer doesn't allow for a password [01:54] +n [01:54] 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] (hint: sudo is probably fine0 [01:54] oh ;/ [01:54] haha, ok [01:54] kelsin, i just don't know how to input a password into the vncviewer [01:55] r3n0c: if you just do "vncviewer " it will ask for a password if it needs one [01:55] 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] kelsin, it totally doesn't tho [01:55] 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] rockoman, where does the install stop ? [01:55] kelsin, it says no matching security types [01:56] r3n0c: that's because you're using the free enterprise realvnc on windows [01:56] r3n0c: go download the tightvnc for windows vncserver, it will work [01:56] kelsin, it is not the freeversion... full version [01:56] r3n0c: well then that's def the reason [01:56] 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] and i try to goto a command, but the command terminal wont show up under recovery [01:56] 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] rockoman, when you get the hout of range error, do you get a command line prompt ? [01:57] r3n0c: I don't think their current client is packaged for ubuntu at all [01:57] nope, just a black screen that says out of range [01:57] rockoman, how do you try to get the recovery mode ? [01:57] i press during the GRUB countdown [01:58] rockoman, press what ? [01:58] esc [01:58] kelsin, o ok, so if i dl tightvnc on the windows box it'll work? [01:58] rockoman, ok [01:58] 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] Woh, Photoshop 7.0 works SO fast using Wine... I never would've imagined [01:58] is there something i can edit the commands before booting? [01:59] TheMasticator: 7.0 is pretty old [01:59] 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] 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] TheMasticator: hence wine able to run a lot of games just fine [01:59] TheMasticator: CS2 is the newest [01:59] k give me a minute [02:00] yeah, I know 7 is just all I have [02:00] and it runs faster in linux using wine than windows XP or Vista [02:00] rockoman, you do realise that I am making this up as I go at this time [02:00] juano__ there's cs3 now [02:00] TheMasticator: heh [02:00] lol ;/ [02:00] spiffman: yep CS3 [02:00] spiffman: your right [02:01] Hi,can anyone tell me if there is a cammand line to disable 3d desk-top effects from the recovery screen? :-) [02:01] when i use the CD should i select "install a command-line system"? [02:01] rockoman, I'm in heavy troubleshooting mode ATM, try stuff and see if you can get a way to fix the problem [02:01] *command [02:01] spiffman: didn't know it was completely out in a stable version though [02:01] Iggz, the ppl in #compiz-fusion probably know [02:01] juano__ it is, well for windows... haven't tried it in wine yet [02:01] pelo: thanks [02:02] rockoman, I thnk you can run a command line from the cd , witouht installing, [02:02] spiffman: i see, i tried dreamweaver with wine and flash, none worked [02:02] http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_03.shtml rockoman for dapper but should still apply for gutsy [02:02] i dont see it anywhere [02:02] 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] 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] juano__ what happened when you tried to run/install them? [02:03] bazhang, i already saw that site, thank you, but i cant get to a command [02:03] rockoman, following me one this ?

[02:03] 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 [02:04] rockoman, I'mgoing to bed in 30 min , I'll wait for you as long as I can [02:04] k thank you === mere is now known as marya [02:04] kelsin, sorry back, how do i remove the vncviewer that comes wiht ubuntu?

[02:05] kelsin, i just dl'd the enterprise edition of vnc on the linux box, supports the 128bit encryption which is on the windows one [02:05] kelsin, and it connects fine [02:05] yep [02:05] evanotten, go back into appearsnce, select the theme tab , customise button at the botom, check under controls [02:05] evanotten, there is an ubuntu cygwin forum [02:05] juano__ dang... i haven't tried very large wine apps, except worms armageddon :P which did some strange things [02:05] evanotten, on irc [02:05] r3n0c: so now you just want to remove the one on ubuntu? [02:05] Hello [02:05] i have an osx one right now [02:05] what kind of phone do you have? [02:05] kelsin, yeah, b/c i wanna install the enterprise edition [02:06] and have you googled for one? [02:06] but autoremove vncviewer doesn't work [02:06] r3n0c: so you havn't installed the enterprise edition yet? Does it overwrite the ubuntu one or something? [02:06] its a nokia 6555b [02:06] 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] kelsin, i didn't install it, i just extracted it to desktop, it is a standalone app [02:06] yea, the one i found was just an ubuntu symbol with the previous theme [02:06] papuccino1: trying the alternate text-mode installer is always a good idea for stalls on the live cd version [02:06] kelsin, but i wanna make it so tat i can type vncviewer in terminal to run it [02:07] an dit is currently pointing to the free version [02:07] papuccino1, yes [02:07] Thank you very much kelsin. Downloading it right now from the torrent. =) [02:07] r3n0c: i would place it in /usr/local/bin, that comes ahead of /usr/bin in the path [02:07] kelsin, yeah, but how do i get rid of the vncviewer that came with ubuntu [02:07] Ok, see ya later. [02:07] 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] kelsin, they are both called "vncviewer" [02:07] Yeah, I read in this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/I386 [02:08] 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] Thank you again. Ubuntu rocks so far. I love it. =D [02:08] kelsin, thanks [02:08] spiffman: i think wine is a bit worse then they put it... never really *worked* for me [02:08] wordi love ubuntu [02:08] r3n0c: you can also do "dpkg -S /usr/bin/vncviewer" I think to find which package owns the ubuntu one [02:08] juano__: wine is still in beta [02:08] 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] or is that not a Series 40? [02:09] juano__: still in beta like debaser said but even so it runs all my blizzard games, so I'm happy [02:09] i don't know much about nokias [02:09] kelsin, the second one dpkg... is not found [02:09] i think its series 60 [02:09] debaser: kelsin yeh, ive been able to run some games though thats true [02:09] juano__ yea, i think it was more directed towards specific apps, like photoshop, rather than every windows app [02:09] it doesnt recognize .sis files, the more common ones [02:09] spiffman: i agree [02:10] juano__, kelsin: that's mostly a "courtesy" from the developers, only technically is still in beta [02:10] kelsin, found it, the built in one is called xvnc4viewer [02:10] 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] How can I make my Leadtek WinFast 2000/XP Global work? This is the lspci output: http://pastebin.com/m6950a479 [02:10] i have a couple of network interfaces that i want to remove, although there is nothing about them in /etc/network/interfaces , is there anywhere else i should look for? [02:10] papuccino1 yes [02:10] Oerllikon: have you tried this? http://series-60-theme-studio.en.softonic.com/symbian [02:10] kelsin: did you have to install directx 9 under wine or is it better not to ? i really can't recall that and was wanting to install some games [02:10] in a preseed file how do i specify a nfs point for the installation medium? [02:10] Ah cool. Thanks Naes. [02:11] juano__: all my games run in opengl mode, so I wouldn't know [02:11] papuccino1: it would run nicely on that system [02:11] kelsin: i see [02:11] This IRC > The forums.

[02:11] hi all [02:11] thanks, i thought about that, but i figured it would be over my head [02:12] r3n0c: ahhhh ubuntu uses alternatives to handle the vnc binary so yeah it doesn't find vncviewer, oh well, glad you found it [02:12] kelsin: i like Nexuiz though, and some other native linux games [02:12] How to change font in "shell output"?

[02:46] 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?

[02:47] k [02:47] i'll let u know when its done [02:47] eshaase: tcpdump collects packages, and wireshark seems to be the favorite gui client [02:47] Yes! @ Kelsin. [02:48] does anybody know of a program for linux to do text substition at the Window Manager level [02:48] I installed some lm tempatures thing but how I read it? [02:48] 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] dafyre: tcpdump doesn't actually analyze packets though no?

[02:49] rexus, system > preferences > desktop effects [02:49] anyone know how to track down the cause of modprobe failures when trying to boot Ubuntu from the live CD? [02:49] rexus compiz was in my updates so probly [02:49] eshaase: If you want to Analyze the packets, Wireshark is the way to go. [02:49] I use tcpdump for actually doing the captures. [02:49] but i'm looking for something installed by default [02:49] 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] (less cpu intensive). [02:49] marc: if it finds any errors, then memory is most definitely the culprit [02:49] You can install tcpdump & wireshark from apt-get [02:50] hey I have a noob question-- which version of ubuntu can I download so that it will work on an old mach powerpc G4 laptop? [02:50] rexus: yes, gutsy comes with built-in compiz [02:50] eshaase: well ubuntu isn't the type of distro to include tcpdump by default, it's one line away [02:50] help me read temps of lm temeratures [02:50] rexus: se !compiz [02:50] eshaase: there are many live cd's out there that come packed with network/security software on them [02:50] !compiz | rexus [02:50] rexus: 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 [02:50] Avt: I assume you mean lm-sensors.

[03:54] sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda |grep -i load produces a count of 20,509 and thats over the course of a year [03:55] sometimes as low as 3-5 seconds [03:55] zenrium: yeah i am using nvidia and have tried the nvidia-settings and tired editing the xorg.conf file as well [03:55] smartmon tests all passed a-ok [03:55] forcing power management to 255 and 254 did nothing to change it as well [03:55] kitofhawaii: no....I think i need to find a guide on this. I thought I would like the extra security of the 'server', not so sure now :) [03:56] is it doing it right now? [03:56] Yes. [03:56] nova: try the third one I mentioned then... there is a possibility that in system - preferences - settings you have the command nvidia-settings --config-only which would cause this too I think [03:56] hello :) [03:56] i miss my beautiful ui [03:56] how do i run the x config wizard from command line?

When I use the rt kernel, it causes anything that plays through the TiMidity++ daemon to freeze. [04:24] But the generic kernel works fine.

[05:38] hmmmm [05:39] anyone know why xchat isnt even using the nickserv password [05:39] what is the point of using sudo, eg, it seems that a sudo user has the same rights as root? [05:39] it does [05:39] j1solutions: same here :( [05:40] kitofhawaii: nope, just the button on the upper right corner of the screen [05:40] Jeriath, are you going into freenode? I think sometimes it takes a little time? [05:40] ramza3: thats teh point of sudo...so you can have admin rights... [05:40] ramza3: ofc, but only ONE time (when u use the command) [05:40] ramza3, because it's not good to be careless with root, using sudo provides more controls over when and how the root access is used [05:40] jrgotti, I know, but does it buy you any extra protections over root [05:40] ramza3: it doesn t left an "open" superuser account ... [05:40] ok [05:40] Hi all: Does anyone have any experience with using Festival on Ubuntu? [05:41] hajiki: What is the text of your /boot/grub/menu.list > current kernel text line starting with 'kernel'? [05:41] hajiki: are you getting nothing at all (blank screen) or text? [05:41] When I try and run a text-to-speech program, I get an error accessing /dev/dsp [05:41] ramza3, it doesnt do it in any of my networks [05:42] But I'm not sure why /dev/dsp can't be used if I can play sound normally with mplayer [05:42] kitofhawaii: black screen [05:42] ramza3: when you use sudo...you only have root for the command you put sudo in front of....so if i were to type sudo cp file1 file2...it would copy with root. if i immediately were to type 'rm *' 9bad idea) i wouldnt have root because i didnt put "sudo" in front. [05:42] bullgard4: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=8f1f3322-9ce3-49ac-8086-09e4b4a5f66b ro quiet splash [05:42] wheres if your logged in as root [05:42] ANYTHING you do has root priv.

[05:43] loke: thanks! is there any command to check that automatically? [05:43] jrgotti, I thought it was if you don't close that terminal session. eg, once you sudo, you could do sudo once and then do "rm *" [05:43] pooria: gdb [05:43] lsof /dev/dsp [05:43] hajiki: do you have an onboard video card in addition to an add-on video card? also...i'd be curious to see if you are getting anything if you issue a terminal shutdown [05:43] ramza3: nope. =] [05:43] hajiki: i.e. "sudo init 0" for shutdown, or "sudo init 6" for reboot [05:43] pooria: when you compile, you put some gdb tags in your bin you can trace later one [05:44] loke: comes up blank; does that guarantee nothing's using it? [05:44] hajiki: You have 'splash' in it. So this text line is okay. -- But I do not know why your computer does not show usplash on shutdown. Sorry, I cannot help you. [05:44] kitofhawaii: no i dont have another video card [05:44] robotic: It does, which is..odd. =p [05:44] i cant get sound working on boson [05:44] I'm not going to compile anything - I wanna see what values are in CPU's registers right know [05:44] jrgotti, ok, but I dont have to enter my password [05:44] gutsy [05:44] bullgard4: thanks anyway [05:44] jrgotti, reenter on the second sudo cmd [05:44] loke: OK, let me try quitting everything to see if that frees it up somehow. [05:45] k...kinda works now [05:45] kitofhawaii: i can try shutting by terminal [05:45] how can i watch videos in youtube with opera? [05:45] just doesnt like to save the information when i change it is all [05:45] ramza3: correct. it leaves you with a 15 minute window (by default). again, however, you still have to conciously enter "sudo" to run a command as root, virtually eliminating stupid errors. [05:45] ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1268:(snd_pcm_direct_set_timer_params) unable to set timer parameters [05:46] peterretief: Wuhhh, a nice compilation error. Have you tried launchpad ? [05:46] hey everyone [05:47] i just installed ubuntu, and i'm loving it [05:47] however i seem to be having one problem [05:47] ufarooq: good start [05:47] qwerkus: what would i do with launchpad? [05:47] ufarooq: welcome, and of course you are. it wouldnt be linux otherwise :P [05:47] peterretief: check if someone else noticed your probe - and perhaps find an answer ... [05:48] qwerkus: sorry for the dumb question? [05:48] ah ok [05:48] working now :D [05:48] w00t [05:48] jrgotti: i didn't have any problems when first trying out linux :P [05:48] Poisonkiller: i envy you. then again, the first distro i tried was gentoo. talk about dreaming in technicolor. [05:49] sorry for the intro, felt it was important, anyways, the problem im having is with my usb soundcard, ive got a soundblaster i think its 16bits. i can get sound ot of it, however when i change the volume in the mixer, it is really weird, the two channells dont stay linked, and by pressing the volume up button it doesnt always go up, sometime it goes down, sometimes it goes up, its weird, i dunno if anyone can help === ubuntu_ is now known as IdleOne [05:49] qwerkus: i think its since ubuntu updated its ui from mesa - boson is just a game i guess [05:50] ufarooq: your best option is to check out the homepage / forum of the team developping the driver you use [05:50] i see, and how do i find out what driver im using, it just seemed to work out of the box so far [05:50] what's a good IRC program for ubuntu [05:50] ? [05:50] irssi [05:50] or xchat [05:51] xLE: im using opera's built in IRC client [05:51] Poisonkiller: Same here [05:51] hajiki: did you get anything? [05:51] do you have to compile xchat [05:51] i never even noticed opera had one [05:51] !info xchat [05:51] loke: depends on your love: gui or cmdline [05:51] I found it on accident [05:51] xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB [05:51] kitofhawaii: nope [05:51] I prefer cli so I chose irssi =] [05:51] xLE: pidgin!

[05:53] quad core..duos? [05:54] either way the answer is yes [05:54] It should andrew [05:54] awesome lol [05:54] hajiki: "sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf" and change it to something your monitor can handle, like xres=1024 and yres=768 [05:54] must have been the bad ram causing my problems before [05:54] peterretief: you can always try to out the ready-to-use package from ubuntu, by reinstalling it [05:54] excuse me what do i have to install to get django orking with apache? [05:54] kitofhawaii: ok, Done [05:55] qwerkus: i guess - [05:55] hey everyone [05:55] hi [05:55] hajiki: i'd hate to say it but try a reboot [05:55] anyone experienced with installing compiz fusion? [05:55] kitofhawaii: hehe, ok [05:55] hajiki: actually...hold on.. [05:56] kitofhawaii: ok [05:56] elinsurrecto which version of ubuntu [05:56] hajiki: try this...from terminal, type "sudo usplash"...to get back here, ctrl-alt-f7 [05:56] i have 7.10 32bit [05:56] hajiki: see if usplash comes up [05:56] elinsurrecto: 7.10 has fusion installed by default. [05:56] elinsurrecto it comes build it.. just enabled the 3d stuff in apperances :) [05:57] i just did the sudo usplash and got the normal black screen [05:57] i got to visual effects right? [05:57] woo @ kitofhawaii thanks for that uspalsh thingo :P been pissing me off for a while.. stupid i810 [05:57] AndrewB: lol [05:57] kitofhawaii: nothing just a black screen [05:57] when i choose extra and click preferences it wont do anything [05:58] hajiki: ok try putting a lower resolution, heck go all the way down to xres=800, yres=600 [05:59] just wondering: how many of you use the "automatic update" feature of ubuntu ? [05:59] kitofhawaii: OMG it worked with 800x600!!! [05:59] there is an automatic update feature? [05:59] I do .. but I always review [05:59] I simply can t stand auto-stuff - and always do it the old way ... [05:59] hajiki: lol well try rebooting now [06:00] apt-get update && apt-get upgrade is roughly automatic? [06:00] ok [06:00] i just get normal effects [06:00] qwerkus: i do it all the time...helps me keep up on when something breaks in case a client calls about it :) [06:01] well; i was just tired about the "gosh, where is that nice feature of app xy i used to love ???" [06:02] i think, for a proper end-user update, one should first read most of the release notes [06:02] kitofhawaii: IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:03] kitofhawaii: Thank you SO much! [06:03] How can I search and add wireless networks on Ubuntu (gnome). I also want to add some network as 'favorites' if it possible. Thankful for help! [06:03] hajiki: hurrah hurrah :) [06:03] loke: thanks for your help. I quit Firefox and suddenly dev/dsp is free [06:03] eifzon: use a tool called wlanconfig [06:03] makes life easy in Wifi [06:03] qwerkus: ok, is it just to apt-get ? [06:03] loke: apparently Firefox doesn't report its usage of /dev/dsp, or possibly flash player is to blame [06:04] Ah, odd. [06:04] yup [06:04] howdy [06:04] Oh, flash very likely. [06:04] Flash is...annoying relating to sound. [06:04] eifzon: apt-get install wlanconfig [06:04] not found [06:04] thanks for the assistance [06:04] Np. Glad you got it worked out. [06:05] I can make ubuntu desktop server nfs and samba and printers,....right? I don't need to use servers for this [06:05] serve* [06:05] tubetop: Server edition is just a bare install, the desktop edition is the same with additional packages and a GUI. [06:05] any way to enable the 3D effects i cant get it to work [06:05] >.< [06:05] i like guis [06:05] depends on your card and system :) [06:05] ;) [06:06] eifzon: STOP [06:06] tubetop: yes you can use ubuntu desktop to serve out nfs and samba [06:06] eifzon: it is wifi-radar [06:06] does anyone know the program to have your windows sit on your desktop and we you move your curser over one it comes forward [06:06] eifzon: wlanconfig is the atheros driver tool; sry ! [06:06] pingu, that's likely a compiz plugin [06:07] qwerkus: ok, do you know anything other? [06:07] hiya peeps. I need some help setting up vnc to control a pc at work [06:07] eifzon: well; i do it via scripting [06:07] using iwconfig [06:07] how do i check if a movie .avi file is actually an .avi file not just data named as an avi file before i finnish downloading it? [06:07] ok, but how can I do this the easy way? [06:08] I set the pc at work as a host [06:08] kitofhawaii: this was abaars, but it was taken...LOL. I got the two shares up, I can see them, but when I copy into them from windows I get an error about permissions. For the samba users I add I want the shares to act just like an attached USB HD [06:08] and can use vnc with local computers (on the same network) [06:08] pingu_: system -> preferences -> windows, check the button "select windows when the mouse moves over them" [06:08] eifzon: easy way: wifi-radar [06:08] but not at home [06:08] gtkwifi is better than wifi-radar [06:09] Anyone run xen here? [06:09] qwerkus: ty, will try it [06:09] eifzon: less easy way, adding a #!/bin/bash script in your /etc/inid.d directory [06:09] boontoo, could do 'file whatever.avi' [06:09] * loke is sleeping now. No more questions!! [06:10] so if I go to ubuntu desktop and I want to do DVD burning of movies...would KDE or Gnome based ubuntu be better...any preferences in the crowd? [06:10] thanks qwerkus [06:10] tubetop: No difference. You can install packages from either. [06:10] I like Slax. [06:10] * loke is sleeping for real this time. [06:10] eff this game! you win grandma! its 4 in the morning and im stuck on baltic with crack! [06:10] kitofhawaii: thats kinda it but instead of just having them anywhere they line up and shrink [06:10] (going to sleep) [06:10] Dr_willis it shows as : Data, that means that its a fake avi? or do you need to wait for it to finnish downloading as maybe all files are data until they are complete? [06:10] tubetop, proberly wont matter. :) Of course finding the proper tools to do the video burning may be a bit harder. [06:10] you kinda have to see it [06:10] Please i need some help with StreamTuner, thread here, thanks http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3937867#post3937867 === jrgotti is now known as jr|sleep [06:10] pingu_: beyond that...i do not know of another solution offhand [06:10] one of my friends has it but cant remember where he got it [06:10] let's try this...

[06:14] loke: ah... [06:14] i installed gutsy new and now have problems, before my streamtuner worked fine, but i changed to SUSE inbetween === boontoo is now known as libqt4 [06:14] tanka_001, go to http://erusan.googlepages.com [06:14] hi [06:14] it has all the codecs and how to install them [06:15] I have a question [06:15] or should I install from desktop cd install [06:15] pingu_: loke's right. i have my compiz fusion set up to scale when i move the mouse to the upper right hand side of the screen. it shrinks all the windows and hovers them until i pick one [06:15] tanka_001: sure, try greentel's suggestion [06:15] tubetop, try installing ubuntu-desktop [06:15] pingu_: i guess i didn't recognize it by the description (kinda used to having it there :) ) [06:15] tanka_001: the program easyubuntu does automatic codec downloading, I believe, as well [06:15] Ubuntu desktop is a meta-package. try gnome-desktop [06:16] logankoester: I take it you tried sudo, which is the obvious thing to do [06:16] robotic: Yeah [06:16] logankoester: can you paste your exact message? [06:16] k...thanks so ubuntu desktop has gnome-desktop in it right? [06:16] easyubuntu where do I find that?? [06:16] robotic: I can't even get firefox to start, it segfaults now [06:16] robotic: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a dpkg: failed to write status record about `dash' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device [06:16] lol [06:16] ubuntu-desktop is what you get with a normal desktop install, so yeah, it includes the complete gnome package [06:16] i'm in XCHAT, how do I get rid of the red line? [06:17] tanka_001:did you try to search for "codec" in synaptic? === greente1 is now known as greenT [06:17] robotic: $ sudo apt-get remove openoffice E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [06:17] tanka_001: that should give you the gstreamer codecs [06:17] The red line is good. :) err. what red line? [06:17] where is the synaptic [06:17] logankoester: is your disk full? [06:17] it separates text, in the chat. [06:17] robotic: my hdd no, but I'm running from the livecd [06:17] nm I found it [06:17] the problem is that he has to add medibuntu if he wants codecs, so simply searching repos won't show anything [06:18] xLE, yes.. thats a feature. :) to let ya know when ya left/lost focus/stopped watching a channel.. its in the settings. [06:18] greenT: can he download the medibuntu package? [06:18] how can I make the window borders smaller [06:18] ? [06:18] it's an entire repository where codecs are kept, since ubuntu can't host the codecs it has to be added manually [06:18] logankoester: OK, then it's trying to write things locally to the hard drive, but can't because the 'hard drive' is the boot drive, the CD [06:18] u can't download and save a big pack on the live cd will not work [06:18] there are instructions for installing all the codecs at http://erusan.googlepages.com [06:18] tanka_001: did you catch that? you'll need to add a repository to get the codecs [06:19] oh is it [06:19] cool, i'll try and get used to it now. [06:19] tanka_001: see the page greenT just posted [06:19] tanka_001: it will explain it [06:19] robotic: What would the solution be, then? Obviously I can't free up space, because I can't use apt-get [06:19] xLE, open 2 or more channels.. then when ya switch - the red line gets drawn where you left/switched :) [06:19] it's cut-and-paste, only three lines, and you'll be able to play everything [06:19] logankoester: just so I understand your config - you have a local windows drive, and you livebooted to ubuntu?

[06:21] Firefox segfaults, Install segfaults.... [06:21] logankoester: is rebooting an option? [06:21] nothing works, because the ram is full [06:21] yea i guess [06:21] logankoester: how much RAM do you have? [06:21] i have the compiz fusion icon in the top of the screen [06:21] I guess I could reboot [06:21] but when i click setting manager it wont do anything [06:21] tubetop: 7.10 is feisty [06:21] not a fun solution though [06:21] How can I burn a bootable ISO in ubuntu?

[06:23] xLE, look for 4 little dots on the right hand side. :) thats the grabber handle.

[06:23] jq: :( [06:23] thanks [06:23] mhm [06:23] robotic: nothing is eating up ram, the problem is that the "disk" is full... but the disk only exists in ram, because it's a livecd [06:23] jq: any idea why it wasn't bootable? gnomebaker should do it [06:24] greenT i have a trendnet tew-423pi [06:24] xLE, heck - im used to not seeing it.. with 1000+ users.. its not too handy :) [06:24] yeah haha.

I used the "Burn Image CD" tool in gnomebaker and it's just not booting. And i've tried booting other bootables and it works. [06:24] tubetop: software or hardware?

I don't want to use the latest version for any other apps, other than git. [06:25] *It's a drum controller. [06:25] jq': Hmm, I think you have to select a specific option to "make bootable" somewhere in gnomebaker [06:26] robotic: I couldn't find anything like that :/ [06:26] wot is the winamp of ubuntu? [06:26] I know they've already gotten it to work on Mac and Windows (the PS3 one, anyway) but I figured Linux would be easier or at least more customizable as a midi controller. [06:26] godzaii: audacity, mplayer, or rhythmbox [06:26] jq': OK, let's ask around [06:26] which one has a strem riper? [06:26] Does anyone know if you have to make a CD explicitly bootable? [06:26] stream [06:27] streamripper for ubuntu? [06:27] booster614, if you have the windows driver cd, it should be easy [06:27] Hello, I was just using Firefox, when X just restarted for no reason, does anyone know why X would do this? [06:27] greenT i have the cd [06:27] ok, here are instructions from ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [06:27] but i think i can break it down for you [06:27] tubetop: To burn DVDs, you can use gnomebaker, or just do it inside Ubuntu by dragging the files to a DVD (I think) [06:27] Also, I had evince open. [06:28] howd do i rip streams in ubuntu? [06:28] robotic: Unless you know how to repair a dvd so I can use the original disk :/ [06:28] Anyone run xen here?

[06:28] jq': believe it or not, scrubbing with toothpaste sometimes works [06:28] booster614, copy the .inf and .sys files from the driver cd (should match) to your home folder, install ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils, then run ndiswrapper -i FILENAME.inf [06:28] robotic: Tried the toothpaste already :P [06:28] and then modprobe ndiswrapper [06:28] Hey guys.:) [06:28] Is there a program for trying out sql commands?

[06:29] is the only issue that it won't boot up when you put it in? [06:29] I don't wanna download the entire oracle file so I was looking for *lite alternatives [06:29] well it doesn't matter where you put them, you just need to access them, and home folder is easiest to get to [06:29] robotic: Yes.

[06:31] thanks botutu [06:31] jq': what's the ISO you're trying to burn? === fideas_ is now known as iBsEe [06:32] jq': maybe the ISO itself has to be a bootable ISO [06:32] tanka_001, i belive the basics are enabling the medibuntu repositories and installing the libdvdcss2 package.

[06:36] booster614, pidgin doesn't let me do private irc chats...do you have a jabber or aim account?

[06:48] noname6243: mac hardware uses EFI which means installing GRUB to be able to boot Ubuntu is slightly more annoying than on commodity hardware. if you're abandoning OSX completely anyway, it's not worth bothering with. if you want OSX still though, then yeah go for it [06:48] just got this torrent: "Cooking the Japanese Way" http://www.mininova.org/tor/1003868 but it's password protected, is there a way that i can crack it?

[06:50] noname6243: i recall being told by a mac user that you have to use LILO instead of GRUB, but i think there are GRUB extensions to do EFI. in that case, i think you need to use the Super GRUB Disk, but as i dont own/need/want a mac, i've never had to do it myself [06:50] xLE: I'm willing to learn with you -- do you have any idea how to start on setting up a chroot jail? [06:51] noname6243: i think you use bootcamp for dualboot and lilo alone for single-linux-boot [06:51] yeah it would be dualbooting [06:51] How do I automatically run a script at bootup?? [06:51] robotic, i have absolutely no clue.

[06:52] fxfitz, go to Sytem > Preferences > Sessions [06:52] hrmm, the first time he ever tried linux, and he invented unix? [06:52] that doesn't make much sense [06:52] mozart: unfortunately, I think you're in the wrong channel for that! [06:52] i'll have a look for it. [06:52] noname6243: he used unix before then [06:52] xle: sure [06:53] noname6243: probably bsd unix [06:53] fxfitz, then add a new command in the form of 'sh /path/to/script.sh' [06:53] fxfitz, then it will run the script when you boot [06:53] yeah.

[06:54] how do I specify wifiX as interface <---- short version of the question =) [06:55] bullgard4: adding to what robotic said, examples of "access rights" would be that they can make sound come out of the speakers or access your cd rom drive [06:55] does anyone know how to make the video's on nfl.com to work? i just get a blank screen when i press play. thanks [06:55] jones, do you have flash? [06:55] jones: can you access videos on other sites? ie, youtube? [06:55] jones, like the one right on the main page? [06:56] anybody know how to specify wifiX as interface? I'm using madwifi-ng and I need to do that... [06:56] is this a good place to ask ati/fglrx config questions [06:56] how do I create a file and also the path. I thought I might use "touch a/b/c/a.txt" but the paths have to exist === esoterik is now known as [esoterik] [06:57] ramza3: not sure about with touch, but if you want to make a longer path than just 1 directory, you can use mkdir -p /first/second/third/fourth/ === ubuntu_ is now known as logankoester [06:58] macogw: yea but I thought there was a way to create a file and those directories [06:58] ramza3: you can string together two commands on the command line... although that's not quite what you want, I assume [06:58] anybody know how to specify wifiX as interface? I'm using madwifi-ng and I need to do that... [06:58] robotic: Thank you for explaining. I need to further investigate, though. -- But I do know now in what direction to look out. Thank you. [06:59] Is there any way resizing an NTFS partition from 190gb to 160gb (only 63gb is in use) with the ubuntu installer could damage data? [06:59] ramza3: ie mkdir a/b/c; touch a.txt [06:59] is there an ubuntu wifi channel or something? [06:59] because I need to specify wifiX as interface, and I have no idea what that means... [06:59] logankoester: if you didnt defrag first and resized over a chunk of data, yes [06:59] bullgard4: No problem, good luck! [06:59] louist/robotic/greent: yes i am able to watch all other videos no problem. the on eon the front page works. not this one though [06:59] http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d804f7e5f [07:00] robotic: or mkdir `basename $abc` ; touch $abc [07:00] Iogankoester: yes, if your machine powers off, or something happens... [07:00] hmm. works for me. i dowloaded all of the restricted codecs with Automatix, jones [07:00] Iogankoester: its the risk of partitioning, a good idea to backup [07:00] logankoester: scguy318 was at you [07:00] !automatix | louist [07:00] ramza3: won't that create the files and those directories? [07:00] louist: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [07:00] I can't really reccomend automatix, but there you go [07:00] macogw: Thank you for your comment. I know that Unix groups are used for accessing sound or my cdrom. Is this here a 'group' feature too? [07:00] macogw: hmm, I didn't defrag first.... but I don't exactly have 2 years to wait for the machine to defrag [07:00] scguy318. thanks [07:00] scguy318: that's a little L [07:00] scguy318, please go ahead and read what I post next time ... [07:01] macogw: ah, my font renders I and little L the same [07:01] anywhoo... [07:01] louist: ? [07:01] jones, i'm getting a blank video area as well...it's flash, so it's not like you're missing anything, it's probably just the site having problems with finding the video [07:01] nvm lol [07:01] no offense meant [07:01] louist: none taken [07:01] Do I need the My SQL server installed to get the front end for PHP which allows to view internet usage ? I have apache2 installed and php5-gd and libapache-mod-php [07:01] scguy318: -autocompletion :) only one of them will auto-complete: the right one [07:02] filled-void: Could you be more specific on what you mean by "internet usage"? I'm not sure I understand. [07:02] louist/greent: i would rather not use automatix. it is always thos way. if u choose any of the game clips on the right side of the main page none of them will work. is there a wa y to cross reference what i have vs. one of u 2? [07:02] jones: what's your issue? [07:03] does anyone know how to make the video's on nfl.com to work? i just get a blank screen when i press play. thanks [07:03] scguy318: a specific site's flash fails for him, but every other flash works [07:03] jones: looks like the problem might be server-side. i have the latest flash and it doesn't work for me either [07:03] jones: lemme test [07:03] robotic, I use vnstat to monitor internet usage. Theres a front end available in php. Which shows you basically what you see in vnstat but in the browser [07:03] anyone know how to specify wifiX as interface? [07:03] the flash in gutsy is a little outdated already [07:03] louist said that he is able to view it no prob [07:03] jonoes, it's not an issue with anything on your computer...it's a server problem [07:04] Hi. Is there a way to switch all of the java alternatives on my system from gcj to Sun's? [07:04] louist: i would give a little more detail about what u are trying to do and someone may be able to help [07:04] jones, it's only flash that you need, not any codecs (it's a flash video) [07:04] filled-void: OK, what makes you think it will need mysql? [07:04] I'm trying to get my logitech g5 mouse working with 7.10. How do I restart imwheel without restarting my whole machine [07:04] blahdeblah2: sudo update-java-alternatives [07:04] marko: is that a driver? [07:04] marko: if so "sudo modprobe -r imwheel && sudo modprobe imwheel" [07:05] robotic, Im not sure just curious if apache2 needed it to display the data within the vnstat database [07:05] imwheel is the application that handles the extra mouse buttons [07:05] marko, do 'killall imwheel' [07:05] then just type imwheel again [07:05] jones: I presume you've installed or attempted to install flashplugin-nonfree? [07:05] I just patched my wifi driver with madwifi-ng, and the site says that in order for it to work with aircrack, i have to specify wifiX as interface (whatever that means). I tried running aircrack, and it has an error saying I need to do the same thing [07:05] louist: did u say that u were able to view the nfl videos's? [07:05] jones: when I went to the NFL site and clicked Videos, some US Army ad played [07:05] scguy318: i am pretty sure let me go look [07:06] jones: so it seems to work [07:06] scguy318: cant do that anymore. have to install it from sun's site. that package downloads it and the md5's dont match because sun updated theirs [07:06] Can anyone tell me the suggested ubuntu way of upgrading my kernel to 2.6.23? (I downloaded the tarball, made a kpkg, but that's where things went awry...) [07:06] macogw: you mean Adobe :P [07:06] scguy318: sure...then [07:06] filled-void: I don't think so -- it looks like vnstat uses text databases, not mysql [07:06] jones, yes, on my other computer (also ubuntu) [07:06] macogw: there's a package in proposed, and bug page has a package [07:06] scguy318: i mean "sure....them" [07:06] macogw: for latest [07:06] macogw: moment [07:06] robotic, thanks for confirming :D [07:06] scguy318: most people dont enable proposed, i dont think [07:06] macogw: i know, but lemme link [07:06] louist, can you view the other link he sent? the front page one he can see, but not the other link he sent [07:06] macogw: there's a few debs on the Launchpad bug [07:07] scguy318: i have proposed enabled for me [07:07] greenT, no. Odd... [07:07] Mondragon: not sure there is an "ubuntu way"...just compile it [07:07] filled-void: Sure thing! [07:07] Well, apparently something changed in initrd.img between 2.6.xx and 2.6.23 [07:07] and I can't get the thing to install [07:07] Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53 [07:07] Mondragon: i guess maybe you can checkinstall instead of make install so you can remove it from apt [07:07] jones, louist can't view the video either. it's only a server issue, not an ubuntu or flash issue. in other words, you can't view the video because nfl.com is messed up, so you just plain can't see it right now [07:07] Is there a command to recursively set all files to 0644 and all directories to 0755? [07:07] anybody ever use the madwifi-ng patch for Atheros wifi drivers? [07:07] well I killed all imwheel and it did not do what I wanted :( [07:08] er, find . -type d -exec chmod 0644 {} \; [07:08] probably [07:08] Mondragon: ah idk then [07:08] er [07:08] what did you want it to do, marko? [07:08] I want to set my thumb button as my browser back button [07:08] scguy: i searched in synaptic and it did not find it. is that in mediabuntu repors or somewhere else? are u able to play this clip? http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d804f7e5f [07:08] oops, backwards, but that should do it [07:08] and the tilt left and right to switch tabs [07:08] find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \; [07:08] and [07:08] find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \; [07:08] greent: hmmmm. it has always been this way though. for weeks and weeks [07:08] jones: flashplugin-nonfree is in universe [07:09] jones: its in universe, i think [07:09] macogw: Thanks - i thought i'd already done that, but it seems to be fixed up now... [07:09] jones: enable the "community supported" repository [07:09] so sudo apt-get install flashplugin-jnonfree right? [07:09] jones, it happens...but i just tried it on a windows pc, too, and it's not working. it's definitely a server issue they're having [07:09] greenT: I have a logitech g5 mouse [07:09] jones, if you can see the front page video, you have flash installed [07:09] jones: without the j yes [07:10] marko, i don't know about your specific mouse, but try the instructions at http://erusan.googlepages.com/archhowto.html [07:10] greenT: I tried various things in the forums but they set up the mouse to have the tilt wheel go back and forward in a browser [07:10] they explain how imwheel works [07:10] * smilodon would like ubuntu with a different color scheme [07:10] macogw: for your information, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb for 32-bit [07:10] jones: can't play, I suspect server side [07:10] jones: install what scguy linked [07:10] jones: Flash loads, server fails [07:10] can anybody give me a hand? I'm trying to figure out how to crack WEP encryption, and I'm stuck trying to patch my wifi driver === dfletcher is now known as dfletcher|Zzz [07:10] which probably isn't a very good start... lol [07:10] im using ubuntu 7.10, how do I open port 49125 UDP ? [07:11] I have installed tint (ttm, a panel, I'm running openbox) and the transparency of the panel is really bad. how to fix? [07:11] macogw: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10804892/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb for 64-bit, just reference [07:11] jones: the one in the regular repos (unless you enable proposed updates) doesnt work with adobe's site [07:11] norty: in your router? [07:11] sure [07:11] has anyone else been getting libcairo updates the last few days? [07:11] smilodon: will themes do it? [07:11] norty: are you direct connect to the internet? [07:11] jones: it tries to download but fails because they changed the file [07:11] flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [07:11] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. [07:11] orange and brown doesn't do it for me :P [07:11] macogw, he has flash installed, it's a server issue on their part, no one else can play the videos, either [07:11] looks like i already have it [07:11] scguy318, I am connected to a wireless router linksys 54g [07:11] greenT: I'll take a look at that [07:12] robotic probably [07:12] Hi.. Firefox isn't starting for me .. I get this error in a terminal "Segmentation Fault (core dumped) ... what can I do? [07:12] norty: no ports are being listened to on ubuntu by default, but theyre also not something you need to manually open. if you install a service to run on that port, it will open [07:12] norty: ah, then you should go to http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 and entr eyour oruter configuration [07:12] well everyone i really appreciate the help. it is off to bed time. [07:12] seamus7: yay C++! [07:12] can anyone help me with compiz? [07:12] I forgot what file includes all Unix groups my computer maintains. 'apropos group' did not enlighten me as it outputs too much stuff. Similarly, the GNOME Search Tool. [07:12] dr_willis: you helped me install skype on mom's desktop a few mins ago. now i am having a problem installing linspires cnr plugin on this laptop. getting the following msg: [07:12] Dependency is not satisfiable: libapt-pkg-libc6.4-6-3.53 any idea what i should do? [07:12] marko, try installing xev [07:12] im trying to use Azureus and it says i need to open that port [07:12] macogw: huh? [07:12] seamus7: c++ segfaults more than c :) segfaults are the wonderful, useless errors c and c++ give [07:13] it tells you what the button numbers are so you can set up imwheel properly [07:13] i'm trying to install an nvidia graphics card but after the grub boot screen, the screen goes black [07:13] seamus7: try uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. it may have gotten corrupted [07:13] can anyone help? [07:13] macogw: the real story is that a segfault is the result of dereferencing a null pointer or a pointer to a page that does not belong to a process [07:13] seamus7: that worked when i had it happen [07:13] walla, what card do you have? [07:13] macogw: this can happen in any compiled program [07:13] seamus7: firefox is good but it doesn't always work the first time [07:13] norty, you have to get into your router and open the port in there [07:13] nvidia geforce 4 [07:13] macogw: oh ... I'm on Gutsy with the latest firefox in the repositories ... I reinstalled firefox yesterday and it corrected the problem but it just happened again [07:14] i used to have it working with feisty [07:14] walla, have you tried the restricted manager? [07:14] jones: I don't think it's your Flash, the video is broken apparently [07:14] scguy318: yeah but that makes 0 sense to end-users, and is still a useless error message. "something got free() before i was done with it. the darned thing wont tell me WHAT though" [07:14] i can't get that far [07:14] macowgw: I tried starting it as root and that fixed the problem yesterday [07:14] can anyone help with a (lack thereof) sound problem? [07:14] How can I get the operating system and version number via the command line? [07:14] seamus7: WEIRD [07:15] macogw: oh well I'll just reinstall again [07:15] seamus7: sometimes I have to start firefox several times [07:15] seamus7: um rename your .mozilla directory (inside home) and see if that fixes it. you might have screwed up settings maybe? [07:15] fitztrev: lsb_release -a [07:15] walla, you mean you're trying to install the driver, or you're physically trying to install the card in the machine? [07:15] if i plug in the graphics card it screen goes black, and if i try and access retricted manager without the graphics card plugged in it tells me i don't have any hardware that needs the restricted manager [07:15] driver [07:15] anybody know what it means to sepcify wifiX as interface? [07:15] i installed nvidia-glx before i plugged the card in === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [07:16] then i shut it down, inserted card, and then got a black screen after grub menu [07:16] walla, try changing the video driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to say "nv", which is the free nvidia driver [07:16] having a problem with sound. There is no sound since last update. anyone else know how to fix this? [07:16] then the pc should boot with the nvidia card [07:17] louist: dont know how, but it means add something thats like eth0, eth1, ath0, etc. and make the first be wifi0, 2nd is wifi1, etc. and has something to do with /etc/network/interfaces [07:17] but how do i get to that without being able to login? [07:17] walla can you hit ctrl alt f1 and use the command line? [07:17] walla, when grub comes up, hit the E key to edit the grub line [07:17] is there a simple way to resync the linux users with the samba users after adduser? [07:17] macow, is that like defining which card to use or something? [07:18] and add the word 'single' to the end of the line, then boot from that line and it will put you into a command prompt [07:18] louist: something like that [07:18] you can use nano to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [07:18] fen, modify your useradd script to create a smb user [07:18] macogw, any idea where I could find out more? [07:18] ok, i'll try that [07:18] louist: for me, eth0 is my wired connection and eth1 is my wireless. people with atheros-based cards get ath0 for their wireless i think [07:18] scguy318: thank you [07:18] rtt [07:18] macogw... yeah I think that's what it is right now, but I need to change it to wifi0 or something [07:19] i have no sound since last update with gutsy, anyone help? [07:19] well it says wifiX ... whatever the heck that is [07:19] louist: X is a variable [07:19] honeking, are you on a laptop? [07:19] desktop [07:19] macogw ... oh yeah. duh. lol [07:19] my laptop's sound works [07:19] i have gutsy on both [07:19] What file contains the Unix groups which my computer maintains? [07:19] do i add a new line after quiet? [07:19] louist: you'll sometimes see /dev/sdX which means /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/WhateverTheHeckYourHardDriveIsCalled [07:20] bullgard4: /etc/group [07:20] walla, don't add a new line, just a space then the word 'single' [07:20] on a different note, does anybody know of linux driver for a connexant modem? [07:20] it boots into single user mode, which is just a root terminal [07:20] i've searched far and wide... lol [07:20] louist: i think the winmodem driver is there by default [07:20] what would it matter if it was a laptop? [07:20] macogw: in ubuntu? [07:21] laptops have issues with the alsa driver messing up their sound cards [07:21] everything worked fine until i updated this morning [07:21] does it need to be configured in any way? [07:21] then my sound doesn't work [07:21] what if i boot into recovery mode? [07:21] i would just suggest checking all your settings (making sure it's not muted, making sure all yuour inputs are volumed up, making sure you're using digital/analog according to your speakers, etc) [07:21] the controllers work and everything on screen says it's working [07:21] scguy318: Thank you very much for helping. [07:21] just no sound [07:21] doesn't that give me command line? [07:22] i already checked all that [07:22] bullgard4: np [07:22] walla, i think recovery will boot you into a gui, right? if it boots you into a prompt, that will work fine [07:22] greenT: Recovery Mode gives you single-user prompt [07:22] macogw: I reinstalled firefox and it enabled me to start firefox ... but I rebooted firefox and now it's doing it again .. nothing [07:22] well then recovery mode should work just fine [07:22] it doesn't work with oss either [07:23] yup recovery mode work [07:23] honeking, i don't know...i would ask on the forums [07:23] I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation [07:23] greenT: okay, thanks [07:23] and i ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:23] did it work? [07:24] no, it still lists my driver as intel (motherboard) [07:24] I'm installing ubuntu and i'm a bit confused about the partitioning: what does a /boot partition have on it? [07:24] what does Xorg -configure do? [07:24] as opposed to / and /home? [07:24] i know /home is the user files [07:24] but doesn't / usually have the boot stuff too? [07:24] Hi, is there any way to have opengl apps run smoothly with Compiz enabled? I'm getting very low frame rates. [07:25] nite all [07:25] command not found [07:25] hi. how can I change options available in the logout dialog? the hibernate option disappeared and I want to restore it. [07:25] oops missed the space [07:25] Anyone else having issues with Firefox not booting ... I have reinstalled but that fix is only temporary ..? [07:25] oh nope, still bad command [07:25] louist: you don't need a /boot if you don't want it. it's typically a small partition for booting linux, but you don't need it, so long as your root partition is readable by the kernel [07:25] somebody using conky and willing to give me a hint? [07:25] try just manually editing the xorg.conf file to say 'nv' for the driver if you have to...it's the free driver for nvidia cards [07:26] greenT: nevermind, i fixed it. thanks again for trying [07:26] dooglus, what advantage does a /boot partition offer, then? [07:26] glad it's working [07:26] i can leave the identifier as the intel thing thought right? [07:26] multiple kernels or something? [07:27] im using an isa sound card (sb awe16) but i'm not getting any sound. sometimes i do but sometimes i don't anyone know what is causing this? im using feisty [07:27] yeah, identifier doesn't really matter [07:27] dooglus, I plan on dual booting with xp, so should I specify a /boot or just forget about it? [07:27] it's just a name for X to refer to [07:27] louist: if you want your / partition to be encrypted maybe? or maybe you want to use a filesystem like reiser4 [07:27] tylerjgilles: whoa...classic. is that awe32 or sb16? [07:27] before the screen goes black it says "Cannot Display This Video Mode" [07:27] if that helps [07:27] louist: I dual boot XP without a separate partition. I only have 2 partitions: a huge / for linux (including /home and /boot) and a huge C: for windows [07:27] oh the changing the driver to nv, fixed it, thanks a bunch [07:28] whats main difference between desktop and server editions? I want Xwindow but im going to from lots of daemons.. [07:28] glad to help, walla [07:28] kitofhawaii: not sure how do i check? [07:28] louist: I don't reinstall ubuntu from scratch, so I don't care about having a separate /home [07:28] dooglus: cool thanks, mate. Do you happen to know how to encrypt ubuntu? I've done it via LVM with the alternate install CD, but only the live cd works in this computer [07:28] tylerjgilles: do you remember what the card looked like when it went in? did it have slots for memory on it? [07:28] louist: I've never tried. there are various web pages out there though. try the ubuntu wiki thing [07:29] !encryption [07:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:29] louist: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto maybe? [07:29] dooglud: right on. thanks mate. [07:29] kitofhawaii: it says CT1745A on it [07:30] kitofhawaii: doesn't look like theres any place to put memory [07:30] any1 out there [07:30] Hyperblade: no of course :P === antdedyet is now known as jtraylor [07:31] tylerjgilles: ok sounds like sb16 i'd guess...awe32 had memory slots on it === firekool_ is now known as firekool [07:31] How can I start a new x server [07:31] kitofhawaii: it says awe on the card. is ab16 awe? === jtraylor is now known as antdedyet [07:32] dose any1 know ov a good download site? [07:32] kitofhawaii: s/ab16/sb16/ [07:32] TylerJGillies: it might be an sb32... [07:32] TigranG, if you just need to restart, hit ctrl+backspace., or try ctrl+f4 for a new server (f keys switch between servers) [07:33] I've installed JeOS and now I can't login since the keyboard isnt working. It worked during the installation. [07:33] ctrl+f4 doesnt work [07:33] TylerJGillies: in terminal, type alsamixer and tell me if it comes up [07:33] sorry, i meant ctrl+alt+f4 [07:33] kitofhawaii: it comes up [07:33] tylerjgilles: i.e. what info it says [07:34] kitofhawaii: sb16 === antdedyet is now known as jtraylor [07:34] TylerJGillies: can you turn up the PCM and Front vols all the way? [07:34] <_a3_> How do you replace windows XT with Linux, I can't seem to get the bios set to boot CD/ROM first [07:34] <_a3_> XP... [07:35] TylerJGillies: and i'd assume 100% you have the speakers plugged into the right puka right? (just to confirm) :) [07:35] greenT: thanks, and my problem is that when I run compiz when playing a game (more like testing a game as I'm making one currently), i get very low frame rates. So I wanted to know if I can run compiz but still get my game to work at the same time. [07:35] kitofhawaii: yeah they were working earlier. the sound works sometimes it just stops working sometimes and i don't know why === jtraylor is now known as jonathant [07:35] How can I give pop3_unseen different colors in conky? 0=white, everything else red [07:35] kitofhawaii: the sound controls in alsamixer are acting all bus up [07:36] _a3_: check your mother board manual, some board requires you to press a key to select a boot media. mine is === jonathant is now known as jtraylor [07:36] <_6502_> Hello.... it has been a few days now that every time I boot my PC (gusty) adept update downloads and installs an update of libcairo2. I'm thinking that they're not really releasing a new version daily, so what could be wrong and how to fix it ? [07:36] <_a3_> okay ty [07:37] samba is driving me insane! [07:37] TylerJGillies: it might just be old/breaky...that's a classic card though :) [07:37] I just want it to recognise a new user [07:37] TylerJGillies: i retired my sb16 12 years ago and my awe32 8 years ago :) though the awe32 came back in service for midi [07:37] kitofhawaii: blah computers get outdated too fast. my video card is like 10 years old === jtraylor is now known as antdedyet [07:38] hello [07:38] is anyone else having problems with python-setuptools ? [07:38] I am [07:38] pkgremove: package python-setuptools is not installed [07:38] it won't remove [07:38] won't reinstall [07:38] and everytime I try to install anything, it complains about it [07:39] usually, something like subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [07:39] TylerJGillies: i'm with you on that :) but that card has been around long enough for linux drivers to work (heck they worked for me on debian in '96, so i'm sure it's not the driver) [07:39] kitofhawaii: i know its notthe drivers. i think something is hoarding it, i just can't figure out what [07:40] kitofhawaii: gnome sound properties keep saying its busy [07:40] TylerJGillies: ISA is chatty irq wise [07:40] kitofhawaii: gotcha [07:40] kitofhawaii: i reserved irq in bios, does that matter? [07:40] hi... [07:41] TylerJGillies: is your card pnp or does it have jumpers? [07:42] TylerJGillies: do you have windows installed too? [07:42] TylerJGillies: windows can f with the irqs so that linux cant find it after a reboot [07:42] how do i disable the leave/join message from pidgin irc. it's driving me nuts [07:42] nantax: i think thats in one of the plugins [07:42] kitofhawaii: pretty sure its pnp [07:42] macogw: nope linux only [07:43] TylerJGillies: have you tried it without the irq's reserved? [07:43] macogw: how do i do that? [07:43] kitofhawaii: i don't think so. theres something at the base of the pins on here but i don't know if they're jumpers or just what connects the pins to the board [07:43] so does anyone know how to suppress the join/leave msg? [07:44] whats better fewer but wider tables or many but narrower tables? [07:44] i have a backup disk with a bunch of backup sets that are mostly hard links to save space. if i want to replace that disk with a new one can i just do cp -a and it will preserve the links? [07:45] TylerJGillies: well you'd see two or three sets of jumpers, with IRQ and INT next to them, if it weren't pnp...though on an isa sb card, you may have a jumper for pnp [07:45] flash player doesn't work for 64bit system yet. I wonder how many things are currently broken for 64bit [07:45] nantax: you could use a decent irc client [07:45] hmm what if i store alll the possible attributes as flags in an integer [07:45] or bit string [07:46] hello [07:46] then i can serch using masks on that string [07:46] someone use bluefish?? [07:46] nantax: but in seriousness, in the last or 2nd to last menu in pidgin, there's plugins. check them out [07:47] TylerJGillies: does it look like this? http://www.dearhoney.idv.tw/SoundCard/PCISoundCards/sb16-1.jpg (ignore the pci part, that is an isa board) [07:47] What's the use of the 'dictd' group? lastlog shows that it never has been used. [07:47] ls [07:48] bullgard4: dictionary? [07:48] hi! Who have ATI video-card? How to solve hibernate with fglrx driver problem? [07:48] Stafilacok: blacklist it [07:48] hello i am working on a project for school does anyone have a really eye candy snapshot of ubuntu i can use in my presentation? [07:48] I was trying to change to glslideshow screensaver but can't specify which pictures for it to display... how do I do that? [07:48] kitofhawaii: similar not really though [07:48] keoni: i can take one [07:48] macogw, you mean driver? but i need it [07:48] macogw: thanks... lol, i would use xchat but that would make me open two clients, i prefer pidgin [07:48] TylerJGillies: well more so all those jumpers down by the pins [07:49] macogw: Can you elaborate. Of course there is some connection with the word 'dictionary'. That's trivial. [07:49] very eye candysh [07:49] kitofhawaii: on the left hand side? [07:49] does /usr/local/share/icons override /usr/share/icons? [07:49] I did not see the plugin option before because i was looking for it in the buddy list, thank you very much for pointing the right direction [07:49] anyone know if there's like a "bandwidth allocation daemon" ? [07:49] anyone remember the syntax of how to redirect stdout to an open file with dup2? [07:49] TylerJGillies: on the bottom... [07:49] hello [07:50] hello [07:50] kitofhawaii: nope justa couple capacitors [07:50] hi, i'm using ubuntu 7 and when trying to mount using fstab i'm getting : cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. [07:50] riaal: you might have better luck in #bash [07:50] TylerJGillies: the one on the right is for older cdrom support, the pins on top are generally for media connections [07:50] I Hate ATI and this drivers :( [07:50] Ademan, You might be able to do something with squid proxy [07:50] someone use bluefish?? please!! [07:50] keoni: fire, water, cube, reflection, skydome...that enough eye candy? [07:50] Hello, my windows portion of my hard drive is infected with a virus, i need a linux virus scanner to clean my windows portion.. any ideas? [07:50] ya can you get it all on one shot? [07:50] TylerJGillies: ok you probably have an sb16 pnp..maybe try it without the irq reserved [07:50] Stafilacok: start > system > restricted drivers [07:50] keoni: just did [07:50] Jordan_U: ah, well i was considering implementing one, just i'd hate to reinvent the wheel lol [07:50] sweet [07:51] keoni: pm me your email address [07:51] Luke, There is clamAV and AVG free [07:51] Luke, ClamAV [07:51] Stafilacok: yes I agree ati sucks no matter what system or device you use, that is very close to fact [07:51] kitofhawaii: ok thanks for the info [07:51] TylerJGillies: irq collision with other pnp devices is possible (since you have a mb with an ISA slot its from a generation of unreliable IRQ) [07:52] Luke, The former is Free ( as in freedom ) software, though it's made for things like linux mail server filtering, so I think it only detects viruses, not removes them [07:52] Luke, The latter is the same as AVG free for win AFIK [07:52] someone? [07:52] TylerJGillies: in those cases it's always better to let the OS take care of assignment...if that doesn't work, it's probably questionable [07:53] kitofhawaii: cool. thanks again [07:53] how can i make ubuntu pretty? [07:53] aurax: have you been able to mount it with just a simple mount command?

[07:55] shay_, Pidgin and AMSN, possibly others also [07:55] shay_, Pidgin - cool [07:55] Jay-Oh-En: use metacity search on gnome look, metacity themes is what you are looking for, and icon sets [07:55] gdm themes too [07:55] Jay-Oh-En: if you got compiz running, try emerald if you're looking to make it ultra purty :) [07:56] something like: [07:56] __ //192.168.0.1/linux /mnt/linux smbfs username=myusername,password=mypassword,uid=500,gid=100,dmask=770,fmask=770 0 0 [07:56] ignore the two __ [07:57] why not use cifs in your fstab entry? [07:57] Jay-Oh-En: and compizconfig-settings-manager to get nice fun ettings [07:57] if you mounted it with that [07:57] shay_: kopete as well [07:57] kitofhawaii: i dont want that stuff [07:58] cifs is slow as hell [07:58] MasterShrek: ill try :( i hate doing this kindof stuff alone [07:58] Jay-Oh-En: then you're stuck with metacity themes...search and hunt there's a huge number out there :) === _MinusSeven is now known as MinusSeven [07:58] themes are overrated. [07:58] does it possible to remote the ubuntu desktop from other computer with windows xp system ? [07:59] shay_: vnc [07:59] shay_ yes [07:59] woh my nick highlight is being triggered :< [07:59] oh well [07:59] kitofhawaii: ok [07:59] Jay-Oh-En: is it a linux samba server you are trying to connect to? did you set a samba password for that user? [07:59] i am new to ubuntu , does this software "vnc" can be installed from the synaptic ? [07:59] "pmi capabilities" doesn't list hibernate. how do I fix it? [07:59] Is there any way I could have the ability to switch between ubuntu and xubuntu on the same system? [07:59] aurax** [07:59] sorry lol [08:00] Proteus: using grub? === Bawls is now known as D|Chem [08:00] masterloki it's windows terminal server and yes i'm using the administrator password [08:00] I cant just have the login screen start a different windows manager? [08:00] Proteus: or just load the xfce window manager...you can switch between the two [08:00] shay_: vnc is a protocol, i think. search in synaptic. you need a vnc server on whichever computer will be controlled and vnc client (tightvnc comes to mind for windows) for whichever does the controlling [08:00] MasterShrek: i don't even know how to debug it, is there a change that the server rejectes smb? [08:00] Proteus: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [08:01] Proteus: exactly :) [08:01] I used to have hibernate, but now it's broken [08:01] aurax: does it work from a windows client? [08:01] Proteus: or find xubuntu-desktop in synaptic [08:01] right, I'm using a xubuntu system, but I'd like to try out ubuntu without a lot of hassle. I'm on an older system and want to know how well it can handle ubuntu [08:01] MasterShrek i guess that yes [08:01] Proteus: oh then install ubuntu-desktop [08:02] macogw, ok [08:02] macogw: and then what do I configure to be able to switch between the two? [08:02] Proteus: if it came with windows 98, it can run ubuntu better than it runs xp, but not well, if that helps any [08:02] Proteus: when you login, click "sessions" and pick GNOME for ubuntu and Xfce for xubuntu [08:03] macogw: ah. As easy as that. Nice! [08:03] I just installed mysql-client-5.0 how do I use it? [08:04] aurax: ive dug up that youll have to use cifs i think [08:05] i installed tightvnc server, does someone knows how i am starting to run the server ? [08:05] aurax: do you have access to the server? you can disable the smb signature thing [08:06] that would prolly do it, i found a forum u can look at [08:06] aurax: http://www.techiesabode.com/forum/posts_w.php?forum_id=1 [08:06] Slow night === dsbfjlbdsj is now known as spartan [08:07] good, time for me to reinstall my xp vm [08:07] shay_: i dont know how to use it, but are the ubuntu and windows computers behind the same router or different ones or none at all? [08:07] hello everybody [08:07] good evening [08:08] macogw: in the same router, (but i am planing also to remote the ubuntu desktop from other places ) [08:08] shay_: you'll have to set up port forwarding on the router to access it from elsewhere [08:08] shay_: you want to be able to remote desktop? [08:08] from outside the router? [08:08] MasterShrek: yes [08:09] MasterShrek checking it atm [08:09] hey folks is there any software which prevents us frm being tracked? [08:09] yea, just get the ports working inside your network, then forward ports from your router [08:09] heard about apple [08:09] macogw: so I'm installing ubuntu-desktop now. I see that it's installing a lot of things like compiz that can't possibly run on this system ..... also, will installing this in any way affect my xfce workspace? [08:09] get the program working [08:09] is it true? [08:10] * MasterShrek needs sleep, cant even type straight [08:10] Proteus: the programs will likely be listed in your menu. compiz will only be enabled if it is possible to run on your system [08:10] spartan: theres tor and moblock which are pretty good afaik [08:10] macogw, Cool! Thanks for the help, man. [08:10] tor is like a proxy or something, and moblock is ip filtering [08:10] wer frm can i get em? [08:11] wo0t [08:11] google, i highly doubt they are in the repos [08:11] * MasterShrek isnt on ubuntu [08:11] MasterShrek➲ Have you tried ipblock? [08:11] nope [08:11] mine is dynamic ip [08:11] will i still be tracked? [08:11] Well I finally got Dualboot to work with Ubuntu at the expense of erasing my C drive lol [08:12] spartan: your isp knows your ip address [08:12] MasterShrek: noppers. [08:12] so u mean they can track me? [08:12] With simple things like printers.. Ubuntu seems to know what printer I have but won't print anything... Does it need drivers just as xp would? [08:12] In fact in the vasy majority of cases they allocate it :) [08:12] MasterShrek➲ http://iplist.sourceforge.net/ [08:12] im downloadng movies [08:13] pirated ones frm torrentspy and othr sites [08:13] spartan➲ http://iplist.sourceforge.net/ [08:13] so.

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [08:13] Ugh... I've screwed up Ubuntu so much. [08:13] MasterShrek: please help me , what is the simple way to remote ubuntu desktop from windows xp system ?\ [08:13] aurax: you followed that bit about disabling the smb signatures? did you reboot the windows server? [08:13] So use an encrypted network like Waste but that's ot for this channel I would imagine [08:13] shay_: vnc [08:14] Would anyone here advise me to switch to Gentoo? [08:14] sploodge➲ why ? [08:14] sploodge not if you are having problems with ubuntu [08:14] I joined here by mistake sorry - Bye! [08:15] hmm need to reboot it ... ? [08:15] I screwed up Wine, screwed up TiMidity, screwed up Compiz, and screwed up everything. [08:15] sploodge: in #gentoo they would [08:15] Heh. [08:15] how do i enter commands into mysql-client-5.0? [08:15] sploodge well...one by one you fix them...you fix linux, it isn't like windows [08:16] aurax: for any windows machine, a reboot is always needed [08:16] Uh, I'm at a dead end here. [08:16] MasterShrek: how do i get the suspend from gnome to kde so i can suspend on my kde [08:16] I've apt-get remove --purge wine, and it's still broken. [08:16] sploodge: there's always command line if u run into probs with x ;) hehe [08:16] I've rm -r ~/.wine [08:16] MasterShrek: cause hibernation doesnt work only suspend [08:17] Jay-Oh-En: no idea about things like that, suspend and hibernate dont work well in linux afaik [08:17] is there any GOod Ubuntu twitter client [08:17] but suspend works for me [08:17] on gnome === Varka_ is now known as Varka [08:17] like twitterffic in macOSX [08:17] sploodge well..if you have removed as much as possible reinstall it all and then start fixing it. you probably just have a config file you have not yet take care of. [08:17] but i dont know how i would run suspend on kubuntu [08:17] sploodge: is the program even compatible with wine? [08:17] Yeah. [08:17] Wine just suddenly stopped working. [08:17] It worked before [08:18] sploodge but to move to gentoo...it is much more techie than ubuntu and would be harder to get working [08:18] Yeah, but I've used it before :p [08:19] MasterShrek: fixed... [08:19] Hello, my windows portion of my hdd is infected with a virus, what is a linux virus scanner that will rid me of the virus? [08:19] Gentoo's not that hard. emerge this and emerge that.

[08:21] avg should do it from what i heard before [08:22] if i can even get into windows [08:22] its soooo laggy [08:22] its also possible you didnt kill it before [08:22] espicaly cuz im using vista [08:22] some viruses hide while windows is booted [08:22] install avg and give it a try [08:22] i have -.- [08:22] well waht are you expecting?

[09:46] Pirate_Hunter gotta use sudo [09:46] gonzoism: is it fdisk /dev/sda1 to check the partition and no i didn't sudo lol dont worry will try again [09:46] Jay-Oh-En, Wallpapers > 1280x1024 then select highest rated , [09:46] pyrohotdog: do a search in synaptic for linux [09:47] pyrohotdog: it will come up if it dont enable universe repostiorys [09:47] gonzoism: yup it worked its sda1 but now how do i check it for errors [09:47] Help? [09:47] anywho......... I have another issue [09:47] Pirate_Hunter i did look for the way to force fsck on reboot, but didn't see it. [09:47] kousotu➲ I bet Windows would still have it's problems if you fdisk /mbr (dos fdisk) [09:47] I need to complie a program that doesn't have a "makefile" [09:47] Pirate_Hunter should be able to sudo fsck /dev/sda1. important, make sure it is not mounted. maybe sudo umount /dev/sda1 first just in case [09:48] kousotu➲ and fdisk /mbr would kill grub. [09:48] gonzoism: np but now that i know the partition that is is on how do i tell ubuntu to check it with fsck what is the command [09:48] kahrytan: I highly doubt that, but I want to run Ubuntu as well [09:48] t [09:48] gonzoism: lol ur quick [09:48] Hello. Is there an easy way to install some blackletter fonts? Does anyone know packages available? [09:48] whats main difference between desktop and server editions? I want Xwindow but im going to from lots of daemons.. [09:48] Pirate_Hunter :) got a big internet lag here too.... [09:48] i ment /s/from/run [09:48] kousotu➲ and if it doesn't boot windows xp/vista, then its not grub issue. but windows. If it [09:49] kousotu➲ but it does boot them, you can use ubuntu live cd to reinstall grub [09:49] well, I know vista has an issue === progra is now known as averno [09:49] alright guys [09:49] my dogs keep barking outside. been barking for hours. [09:49] vista refuses to see XP [09:49] any nice hardcore ubuntu users here who can help me really fast? [09:49] if they don't stop, i'm gonna go out there and kill whatever they are barking at, unless it is cows. [09:49] kousotu➲ then visit #windows [09:49] i bet its a skunk or armadillo or something. [09:49] and hence I have th ever-annoying "tri-boot on grub" issue [09:50] I've tried the ubuntu forums without much luck [09:50] kahrytan: I'd rather just keep the 3 seperate as I have had them for a while now [09:50] kousotu➲ sounds like XP won't boot because of Vista [09:50] rsvampire how long has ubuntu been around ? [09:50] I need to complie a program that doesn't have a "makefile" how would I do so [09:50] gonzoism: fsck dont work for that partition it cna't find it, i dont know what happened all I did last on my xp as an update and disk defreg and now i cnat boot into it got any ideas what i could try? [09:50] hi all. someone have installed Ubuntu on a MicrosoftVirtualServer2005 vm? [09:50] I've been using Gutsy for a couple months now, and I'm a nerd so I'm not totally clueless and all about desktop bling [09:50] kahrytan: it won't boot through Vista, yes [09:51] HELP?!? [09:51] but I'm working on booting it seperatly [09:51] kousotu➲ what you use xp for? [09:51] kousotu does it have autoconf or automake stuff for making it ? is it perl stuff ? is there a readme or install or similiar ? [09:51] kahrytan: XP-only stuff [09:51] kousotu➲ games? [09:51] Pirate_Hunter did you sudo fsck it ? [09:51] kahrytan: yes, that and other things [09:51] gonzoism: the app? lemme check [09:51] kousotu➲ cuz Vmware can run entire partitions in emulation mode [09:52] ok well whatever, I'll type out my problem anyways and see if anyone wants to help me [09:52] gonzoism: nope [09:52] its all cold and rainy outside. [09:52] what is a good activesync replacement (that makes it easy to sync files & such....... but also install programs to)......... ideas? [09:52] kousotu hmm... small program ? few files ? maybe just run gcc on it. [09:53] Ubuntu is detecting my onboard soundcard (VIA 8237) and also my Sound Blaster card [09:53] gonzoism: it's secondlife [09:53] it's not small [09:53] kousotu gcc -i whatever.c++ -o whatever_you_want_bin_name_to_be [09:53] and it'll load the sound card it detects first as the default... even though I've set asoundconf to use my sound blaster card as default [09:53] gonzoism: yup it dont work fsck cnat seem to ccheck it [09:53] I have a boot problem here [09:53] some programs (mainly WINE and Ardour) are still using the primary reconized card [09:54] kousotu oh. there should be build instructions somewhere, or a linux folder, or a howto on a the net or something. check for a docs or Documentation folder too. maybe builds folder will have a linux script [09:54] Pirate_Hunter [09:54] Pirate_Hunter ah. what format is on it ? [09:54] is there anyway for me to permanently disable my onboard sound? it's already disabled in the BIOS so I'm not sure why Ubuntu is detecting it [09:54] Pirate_Hunter ah.... i bet ntfs. [09:54] and I can't seem to just get rid of the darn thing... so anybody got any ideas? [09:54] gonzoism: /dev/sda1 is my NTFs partition [09:54] Pirate_Hunter maybe that is the deal ? cause i hear linux doesn't like ntfs a lot. a bunch of people gripe [09:55] I'm running on a LiveCD and need help! [09:55] gonzoism: hm.. seems to already be compiled, according to Lindinlabs [09:55] gonzoism: youre ahead of me lol yeah but i need to boot to that partition lol it is actually important it holds work material [09:55] but it freezes the entire PC [09:55] hey guys, we have a quad proc, eight core server running CENT OS right now and we're quickly becoming an Ubuntu server house and wanna transition but one of the guys on our team asked the question, will ubuntu server work and take advantage of our 8 cores out of the box? Will we need to manually install/compile a new kernel? I can't seem to find any documentation on SMP stuff with ubuntu. [09:55] Pirate_Hunter ah. well. hmm.... well, you can get one of those rescue disks off distrowatch.com and maybe that will work ? or a windows disk to run ckdsk or whatever disk checker on it. [09:56] Pirate_Hunter any idea how it got messed up ? [09:56] I have a spreadsheet in Openoffice that contains student homework grades. Each row corresponds to a student, and each column corresponds to an individual homework assignment. I need to take the sum of each row, but I need to exclude the two lowest values in each row (each student's two worst scores are excluded from their final grade). How can I do this? [09:56] kousotu is there a bin/ directory ? [09:56] gonzoism, Pirate_Hunter: I use NTFS mounting on linux [09:56] \join channel #gutsy [09:57] can anyone tell me if the ntfs-3g driver is available on ubuntu's live CD or DVD? [09:57] gonzoism: yes [09:57] that is the executables. [09:57] in there [09:57] kousotu ^ [09:57] gonzoism: all i did was an update and disk defrag and today i cnat boot its really unnusual [09:57] Nemoder: it is on gutsy's live CD, I use it alot [09:57] kousotu: ok thanks [09:57] Nemoder: yeah, gutsy (7.10) has ntfs write built in [09:57] Pirate_Hunter hm... defrag from inside of windows ? (i hope [09:58] kousotu: dont need that gutsy mounts it by itself but last night i was working on it and today i cnat boot into it [09:58] is it normal behavior for you to have to move your mouse cursor off of a dialog box then back on it to activate a button? I'm constantly having to do this. [09:58] gonzoism: lol yeah inside win not from linux rofl im not that crazy [09:58] I Need Some Help Here As I Have A Boot Problem And I Am Running On The LiveCD [09:58] Pirate_Hunter man i am the wrong person for windows problems.... i'll look up a rescue cd for you real quick. [09:58] Should virtualbox be able to install Ubuntu gutsy 64 bit (amd64) without any hitches. I get the error that your cpu doesnt support the install [09:58] gonzoism: thank you very much [09:59] Pirate_Hunter lol, you never know. :) if i were gonna do it, i'd have more faith in a linux defragger for ntfs... :) [09:59] Pirate_Hunter: you cn't boot windows? [09:59] mikea [09:59] mikea [09:59] man my net sucks tonight [10:00] hm... [10:00] gonzoism: question... [10:00] why does a linux executable load in wine? [10:00] hmmmm... can anybody help me out with an issue I'm having in Gutsy? [10:00] rsvampire: what's the issue? [10:00] Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? [10:01] Can anybody help me with an Ubuntu boot issue? [10:01] docgnome: here's my problem [10:01] Pirate_Hunter http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=systemrescue i would start with that maybe ? but you might want to ask some windows people if you know any.... maybe because i don't know about windows. that cd does do ntfs though.... [10:01] Hello! I recently tried this guide http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/no-volume-control-gstreamer-plugins-and-or-devices-found-no-sound-or-voume-control-bug-on-ubuntu-p31/ to fix my sound problems (no sound, exactly as in the guide) suddenly problems arouse. When I executed the commands "chmod -R a+rwx /dev/snd" and "sudo usermod -G audio " as root, the Update Manager stopped to work. [10:02] When I try to launch the Update Manager a particular error message appears: Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window' '--non-interactive' '--parent-window-id' '41943043' '--update-at-startup' as user root. [10:02] gonzoism: np will look into it now and will ask as well thanx [10:02] Also "The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator" [10:02] kousotu dunno... you can run the command, file bin/filename on it and see what kind of file it is. [10:02] Volvagia356: What's the issue? It's better to ask the question than to ask if you can ask a question [10:02] docgnome: my onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS but Gutsy still detects it and sometimes wants to use it as the default sound card. I have my Sound Blaster card set in my asoundconf to default [10:02] rsvampire: wow. I had that EXACT problem [10:03] docgnome: so when I first boot Ubuntu sometimes the login sound doesn't play (it detects my onboard sound first) and once I log in and the asound is set it'll use my sound blaster card [10:03] Can anybody help me with an ubuntu boot issue? [10:03] docgnome: so programs like WINE and Ardour will try and use my onboard sound because it detected it first and will default to those settings no matter waht [10:03] rsvampire: I don't remember exactly what I did... hang on [10:03] Volvagia356: as long as you dont tell us the problem nobody can help you [10:03] And other strange this too, some menus from the System -> Administration menu disappeared. And when I try to add these back via the Main menu setting the just uncheck themselves from the tickboxes after I've ticked them. [10:04] my acer aspire 5600 freezes up on me for a few minutes at random intervals..... anyone ? i think it has to do with it polling the drives to see if any new media has been put in it, like the cdrom and usbs. [10:04] docgnome: so I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of that driver or somehow tell Ubuntu to load my sound blaster card into Slot 0 all the time... it's detecting based off IRQ settings [10:04] docgnome: alright [10:04] Volvagia356 no. try just asking your question. or state your problem, and then ask for help. its hard to drag information out of people.. [10:05] gonzoisme: It's a complicated question [10:05] rsvampire: it's such a pain. I mean for crying out loud the card is disabled in the frickin bios! why does it use it? *grumble* [10:05] Volvagia356 if you never ask, i bet you never get an answer. [10:05] Volvagia356 :) [10:06] rsvampire: hang on, lemme turn my ubuntu box on [10:06] docgnome: exactly! and I'm tierd of the forums because I wait 3 days for someone to say "disable it in the BIOS" after I already posted I did! grrr... [10:06] docgnome: cool, thanks [10:06] gonzoisme: Look at this thread: gonzoisme: [10:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637770 [10:06] when I boot ubuntu, it spruts out multiple errors and fails to boot [10:07] The entire file-system is read only [10:07] Anyone familiar with my issue? [10:08] rsvampire: I _think_ what I did was set it as default by doing 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card cardname' [10:09] rsvampire: it says something about that having unintended consequences, but it worked for me as I recall [10:09] oh.. ppl lest :( [10:09] left* [10:09] Volvagia356: did you try any of the ideas mentioned in the thread you posted? [10:09] Volvagia356 the fsck and fstab question was a good one. did you fsck and is /var seperate ? [10:10] docgnome: yeah that works for me... but like I said... it'll still detect my onboard sound when it loads GDM [10:10] it won't run the asoundconf file until AFTER you log in [10:10] but programs will still use that first intented card [10:10] rsvampire: you used sudo to do it? [10:10] i fsck already and my /var is not seperate [10:10] docgnome: oh yeah of course [10:10] that should set it for everyone not just your user. [10:11] Volvagia356 cool. can you /msg fstab to me ? or does fstab look right to you ? [10:11] what? [10:11] rsvampire: hrm... Not sure. I really need to get to sleep, it's 2am here. If you still have the problem tomorrow I'll try and give you a hand with it. [10:11] Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 64 bit on Virtualbox ? [10:11] Volvagia356 the file /etc/fstab, have you checked it ? [10:11] docgnome: dude it's totally 2 am here too where are you? [10:12] I set up a new (custom built) kernel (based on ubuntu feisty sources off git). can I still use the binary modules for nvidia and the likes? [10:12] rsvampire: Washington State, USA [10:12] rsvampire: you? [10:12] rsvampire how did you know it is 2 am ? China... [10:13] How in the world are you two in the same time zone :O [10:13] docgnome: San Jose, Ca [10:13] did i say china ? err. i meant pakistan. those keys are so close together.... [10:13] * docgnome nods. [10:13] gonzoism: lol [10:13] gg [10:13] Um im fron India its only 3:43 here [10:13] gonzoism: because it's not 2am in China? lol [10:14] nm [10:14] i am from Ukrain and it's 12:14 on my clock ) [10:14] i'm really in TEXAS. waco [10:14] is there a way to find out what color is under the cursor? [10:14] and my dogs finally quit barking. they had been barking for hours.... [10:15] gozoism: I already sent it to you [10:15] keoni if you use the command, unclutter, you can turn the curser invisible after it stops moving, or if you want like the exact color name/number, you can use "gimp" and use that grab color thingie... i use that a lot. [10:16] 4 am here [10:16] well once i move the suction thing outside of the gimps window i get normal cursor [10:16] Volvagia356 you sent me /etc/fstab ? [10:17] yes [10:17] Volvagia356 i missed it [10:18] Volvagia356 will you send it again ? [10:19] * gonzoism wonders why it got so quiet. and hates his connection when it acts up... [10:21] Volvagia356 if it were me, i would reboot from the cd, open up the console, fsck the linux partition(s), if they were ok, i'd mount them, like this:sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt [10:22] Ive recovered a partition and got 50k files. Lots of txt. Is there an app that can organize all the files depending on extension? [10:22] Would really be great to get all .doc and .jpg into their own directories [10:23] ramvi: shell script should sort that out [10:23] ikonia: anything finished to use? [10:23] Volvagia356 then i would chroot to them: sudo chroot /mnt then i would mount everything. sudo mount -a then i would update again. then try rebooting like normal, and if that didn't work, try the alternate grub entry for the last kernel, and see if that works. also i would take a quick look at /etc/fstab and make sure that whatever the / partition is, gets mount ro, similiar to this : [10:23] # /dev/sda1 [10:23] UUID=333ae886-7ea8-49e5-9464-d07cdd54d276 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [10:23] yeppers. [10:23] ramvi: mv *.jpg /directory ? [10:24] ikonia: I like you [10:24] Volvagia356 but i don't think you are in here anymore... maybe you will come back and see what i typed. [10:24] hey anyone have a windows machine or a dual boot set up, i'm looking for someone to help me out for a few min [10:25] anthonylicari: just awk the question [10:25] anthonylicari just ask. always just ask. its faster that way. [10:26] I've got an indesign file (.indd) and I need it converted to a .pdf , I can't get the trial version of indesign to run under WINE so if someone could help me out here and convert it, i would be very appreciative [10:26] anthonylicari: you'll get better support for wine in #winehq channel === surfr is now known as jbache [10:26] I don't think you understand [10:26] I don't care about indesign [10:26] I don't want it to run [10:26] you want to convert it [10:26] I know [10:27] but as indesign doesn't exist on ubuntu [10:27] anthonylicari: ill try it as im on xp currently [10:27] thank you msbhvn [10:27] anthonylicari: seems i need an adobe account to get the trial dl, will take a few [10:28] anthonylicari: your best bet is trying somethink like inkscape to read it [10:28] but I doubt it will [10:28] It's for our magazine www.cultureloungeonline.com , I converted issue 1 and 2 when I was on windows but forgot to do issue 3, now I've done issue 4 on ubuntu but kind of feel odd about releasing it before issue 3 [10:28] anthonylicari: then join #winehq to get it running under wine and converted to a more usable format [10:28] anthonylicari: well done with a sly promotion of your website that was totally uncalled for [10:29] holy cow its 470MB [10:29] i mean 437MB but still, damn [10:29] msbhvn I can put a link to your site on ours for helping me out here [10:30] anthonylicari: cool, anyway you have the file you want converted? [10:30] what's easiest for you, email or ftp? [10:31] I just installed Limewire and it won't load when i try to run it [10:31] anthonylicari: whats the filesize? [10:31] 10mb [10:32] well wait [10:32] I better zip it and just do ftp, I forgot it's indesign and it has all the links in it === _ziyax is now known as ziyax [10:33] I am getting this message when I try to load my newly installed Limewire : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48067/ [10:33] ikonia: thanks for the promotion, make sure you buy a t-shirt. [10:35] Can anyone help? [10:35] mihai1: it looks like you are using the wrong version of java for compatability with limewire. Where did you get limewire [10:36] Read my comment to see my problem which I need help with http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/no-volume-control-gstreamer-plugins-and-or-devices-found-no-sound-or-voume-control-bug-on-ubuntu-p31/#comment-37 [10:36] fi0na: please just summerise the bug [10:36] I did above [10:36] ikonia : I got it from the official website. How do I upgrade Java to a newer version? [10:37] mihai1: you can't upgrade java to a newer version, but there are multiple versions in the ubuntu repo's. We can't really support limewire though as it is not packaged/built for ubuntu [10:37] ikonia: do you see it? [10:38] thanks ikonia [10:38] where are you from? [10:38] Hi, I'm trying to switch to ubuntu from SuSE [10:38] fi0na: no - I'm not reading that, as I said. But never mind [10:38] mihai1: your welcome. Doesn't matter where I'm from. [10:39] I've installed 7.10 on a new partition (leaving my home intact) [10:39] hey guys [10:39] Because I want to try it out first [10:39] when i install ubuntu it stops at 82% [10:39] whois ikonia [10:39] it says configuring apt, scanning the mirror [10:39] I decided not to install the boot loader because I didn't want to lose my SuSE grub config (in case there is a problem) [10:39] can i skip that or something? [10:39] now, how can I boot Ubuntu? [10:39] There is no menu.lst in /boot [10:39] no /boot/grub either... [10:39] <_evo_> hi there is a script im trying to find that allows you to take a tutorial to learn man does anyone know whats its called or where i can find it? === jimmy__ is now known as zondor [10:40] I can edit my menu.lst in suse, but I don't know what to put there [10:40] Kodomut: I'm not sure if the standard desktop install allows you to skip grub install [10:40] ikonia: It's in the advanced box at the very end [10:40] JacobSingh: thank you Kodomut did you see that [10:41] <_evo_> can anyone help with my previous question? [10:41] ikonia, not skip grub install, i want to skip the "scanning the mirror" part [10:41] it is still at 82% after 15 minutes [10:41] _evo_: learn man ? [10:41] Kodomut: scanning the mirror ? [10:41] yeah, at the install [10:41] at 82% [10:41] oooh [10:42] no, I think it auto checks for updates [10:42] <_evo_> yeah [10:42] <_evo_> learn man [10:42] _evo_: whast do you mean learn man ? [10:42] _evo_: learn what about it ? [10:42] but 15 minutes just for that? and no lights are blinking or anything [10:42] Kodomut: thats frustrating, that sounds like the install is hung === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [10:44] !away > ajmorris_|AFK [10:45] <_evo_> anyone heard of the man tutorial script? [10:45] _evo_: what are you talking about ? tutorial script ? [10:45] _evo_: what do you want to know ? === doofus1234 is now known as doofus123 [10:46] Does anyone know how I can get the ubutnu grub settings? [10:46] <_evo_> ikonia: it just is a script that as your reading the man allows your to edit it so you can learn on the fly as you read [10:46] http://www.linux-tutorial.info/manpage _evo_ [10:46] _evo_: you want to edit man pages ? [10:47] !ping [10:47] pong [10:47] Thx [10:47] ( : [10:47] <_evo_> learn to use man pages [10:47] _evo_: the command is "man $command" [10:47] _evo_: or for more information "man man" [10:47] <_evo_> kk thanks guys [10:48] _evo_: there is the link I gave you [10:48] hi everyone - I think about packaging the current Squeak beta - is there a way to find out, if there is already a package in a ppa or wherever?

[10:50] _evo_: highlight their name by using their nick(name) [10:51] where vi == vim [10:51] learning curve is a bit high just to edit html though [10:51] ikonia, ppa = personal package archive? or ppa = power pc architecture? [10:51] well what i'm looking for is something like dreamweaver [10:52] <_evo_> bazhang: like this? [10:52] ikonia, I am a but confused by what you say (am not a native speaker). [10:52] _evo_: precisely :} [10:52] meshuggah99: have you tried any IDE's before? [10:52] <_evo_> bazhang: hey thanks! is there a way to add people as friends? [10:52] i have the bluefish [10:53] _evo_: not that I know of, at least in a support channel :} [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang:are you on the ohloh.net social network? [10:53] i've used IDE for c++ [10:53] uhm.. wtf? [10:53] there's a process called ld-linux.so.2 on my system, eating memory like candy and hogging the CPU... [10:53] meshuggah99: I just got Netbeans running on Ubuntu pretty smoothly, works great for everything [10:53] anyone ever run into that problem? [10:53] _evo_: no, but this is way #offtopic :} [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang: you should get on, its for people involved in open source [10:53] <_evo_> bazhang: ok well thanks ttyl [10:54] quick, it's about to crash when it reaches 3 GB memory usage... [10:54] =) [10:54] netbeans huh? [10:54] hello [10:54] hello [10:54] meshuggah99: well if it's just html you definitely don't need Netbeans [10:54] thanks [10:54] am still using dapper :( [10:55] hmm [10:55] meshuggah99: but it does have features much like dreamweaver of managing all your projects from within the IDE [10:55] Hello. Is there an easy way to install some blackletter/gothic fonts? Does anyone know packages available? [10:55] bobby: you may want to try a livecd of a more recent release in that case :} [10:55] meshuggah99: If you are looking for something WYSIWYG then Nvu might be a good solution [10:56] thats cool i'm checking it out now, looks powerful downloading the biggest bundle [10:56] when I install the NVidia package (downloaded from the nvidia website) all works fine, but when I re boot the laptop .. I have to run the script again .... any idea? [10:56] bazhang: i want to upgrade. but cant afford the costly download process of installing all the apps again [10:57] bobby: you want to upgrade how far? to the most recent release? or earlier [10:57] ikonia: still there? [10:57] latest release, i downloaded the gutsy alternate cd, but dont know how to update [10:57] bobby: are you backed up? [10:58] bazhang: nope [10:58] :( [10:58] bobby: then it will wipe your stuff, unless you have a seperate home directory [10:58] :( [10:59] Ive recovered a partition and got 50k files. Lots of txt.

[11:00] my sound card needs a driver [11:01] bobby: alot to back up? this is why I suggest using the livecd to see if it is worthwhile for you to upgrade right now--Hardy Heron is coming early next year, and it is a long term support (lts) release [11:02] can anyone in here give a noob a lil help with a sound card issue?? [11:02] ive never had to install a driver for anything other than my wifi card....so im stuck [11:03] bazhang: yeah, thats wht i was waiting for. i installed 7.04 once, dint run properly, so reinstalled dapper. ill install hardy then. [11:03] bobby: I'm running it now, and so far it is very stable [11:04] hey what is gmake? [11:04] bazhang: 7.04 was not booting into GUI. it was hanging. i had do Alt+F1 to go to text mode, then give the gdm command to start the GUI, was really painful :( [11:04] some one please tell me the basic commands for installing a driver?? === dennis__1 is now known as Snow [11:05] bobby: thank goodness for livecds :} [11:05] booster614: which driver?

So I'd rather wait for sometime when there isn't any compatibility issues [12:31] Moreover, it seems that 64bit isn't much better than 32bit yet [12:32] wy: if you're running a desktop and don't like configurations you're probably better off just running 32bit [12:32] wy, most people will not see a benefit, indeed [12:32] Considering that I've just installed this 64 for two days. It's not very costly to go back [12:32] gyache user here? [12:33] wy: you're still getting a lot of benefit from the chip even running everything in 32bit mode, unless you're really running science apps that make use of 64bit at the application level I would recommend just using 32bit [12:33] kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. Note that Umask can only be used to "take away" permissions granted by the base mode; it cannot be used to add permissions that are not there. --> http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Umask.html [12:33] Someone ask a stupid question [12:33] kelsin: in my proftpd, the default directory mask is 755, how can i make it automatically 775? [12:34] chronosx: yeah so proftpd can't make files executable, so you can still solve your problem by making the proftpd umask 0002 [12:34] kelsin: I looked at the comparisons. It seems that only cryptography programs are much faster. That's because they use integer arithmetic a lot [12:34] hi [12:34] kelsin: ok ignore the "x", at least make the rw for group also set. at least 664 [12:35] kelsin: wait, i'll read further :-) [12:35] chronosx: yeah so with umask 0002 proftpd will make new files 664 and new dirs 775 (at least from that document, I don't use it myself) [12:36] wy: yep, which makes sense, so it's fully up to hassle of closed source parts (flash etc) vs speed of things like that === vampiros is now known as Vampiro [12:36] Âñåì ïðèâåò =) [12:36] hi i have a little problem i cannot see other computers in network [12:36] kelsin: But surely 64 bit is nicer looking: 0x2afb83217000 [12:36] they were there before now they are gone [12:36] chronosx: depending on your system you can also set the global umask in /etc/profile but clearly this leads to other security implications and I honestly don't know if proftpd resets it anyway [12:37] kelsin: there i see it now in gproftd configuration. Umask 022 [12:37] wy: hassle vs pointer beauty :) you decide [12:37] chronosx: make that 002 and you should be good [12:37] help my network does not show any computers [12:37] kelsin: I'd love it if I'm a low level developer ;-) [12:37] asjad: did you do anything -- make changes to configuration somewhere? [12:37] nothing [12:38] yeah i did one thing i shared a folder [12:38] do anyone help me with a problem? [12:38] asjad: are you talking about windows computers on your network? [12:38] riotkittie, from shared folders [12:38] and how are you trying to attempt to the other computers? [12:38] But most of the time I'm using high level language like Haskell or Java. So I guess that won't make any difference. [12:38] kelsin, yes [12:39] how can i install some compiler file, like make install, ./configure? [12:39] So I decided to go back :-) [12:39] asjad: can you still see them by going to "Windows Network" (meaning are they only gone from the first "Network" screen, or are they gone all together? [12:39] my linux didnt find them [12:39] kelsin: Are you using 32 or 64? [12:39] wy: I don't have any 64 bit machines [12:40] dctv ghbdtn! [12:40] camilo_cedetec: what do you mean, do you have software that you need to install from source? [12:40] kelsin: You don't have core 2? [12:40] âñåì ïðèâåò! [12:40] wy: no [12:40] kelsin, i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:40] kelsin: what is the name of the variable mode? i can't seem to find it in configuration file, i only found the variable Umask 022 in the config file, "Thus, with a mode of 0666, and a umask of 0022" [12:40] kelsin: Those are quite old machines [12:40] kelsin, but the network shows nothing [12:40] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:40] i woultd like to learn how to compile some source.... [12:40] asjad: normall when you goto network you have an option called "Windows Network" as well as showing other computer directly, can you still access the windows computer by browsing through that or does that not show up? [12:41] camilo_cedetec: ok, for starters, what you want to compile isnt available in teh repos? [and you've enabled the multiverse/universe] + [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] kelsin, yes windows network is there [12:41] ëþäè! åñòü òóò ðóññêèå? [12:41] asjad: nothing at all?? ... hmmm I was wondering if your workgroup was changed when you started sharing, which is possioble but probably wouldn't cause that [12:41] Pashka[k45], no [12:41] just to let people know I think that using thunderbird with lightning 0.5 in linux mint sometimes causes a computer restart when sending attachments [12:41] anyone know what Pashka[k45] is speaking? [12:41] kelsin, i double click it but nothing is inside [12:41] i removed lightning and everything is ok now [12:42] kelsin: The proftpd daemon always starts with a base mode of 0666 when creating files. 777 for directories. hmm.. "always" seems this is by design? cannot be changed? :-) [12:42] camilo_cedetec: if you need to compile from source and not use repos then install the "build-essential" package with synaptic or apt-get [12:42] Pashka[k45]: please do not do that [12:42] camilo_cedetec: that gives you the basic compiler and libraries, depending on the software you might also need to install other *-dev packages for different libraries [12:42] chronosx: that's what that document says, like I said I don't use proftpd so I wouldn't know [12:42] RichiH ~»do you speak russia? [12:43] Pashka[k45]: no, sorry [12:43] i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:43] asjad: I would double check that your Domain Workgroup (the second tab of Shared Folders) is set to the same thing as the windows computers [12:43] !ru | Pashka[k45] [12:43] Pashka[k45]: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke [12:44] does anyone know how to update to a certain kernel version with apt-get? [12:44] salve a tutti [12:44] kelsin, yep it is same MSHOME [12:44] kelsis: i want to install emerald [12:44] sorry if im being rude, im just frustrated with linux lately. [12:44] but, i dont have a especific software to install [12:45] just to learn [12:45] Pashka[k45], speaks russian... oh, damn [12:45] i want find english friend... [12:45] i would like to learn how use the make install and ./configure [12:45] i very bad speak english) [12:46] however, i need to install these files [12:46] fair effort of english however... [12:46] kelsin, so man any siggestions :? [12:46] ~yawn~ [12:46] i just got the gcc compiler.... [12:46] bazhang - im back ... dunno if you are :P [12:46] how can I view which ports a certain program is connecting on? [12:46] is it safe to delete everything in /var [12:47] asjad: unfortunately no, don't know enough about samba, and unfortunately havn't had that problem [12:47] kelsin, thanks anyways man [12:47] skyfalcon866: I highly doubt it [12:47] well i have 583MB left on my / [12:47] help anyone i am using ubuntu and when i go to network now i cant see other computers on my network but i can still acces them if i type smb://IP_ADDRESS [12:47] camilo_cedetec: did you get the gcc compile by instlaling it or by installing "build-essential"? [12:48] skyfalcon866: you should read the docs for ceratin packages to find out if their data in /var is safe to delete [12:48] skyfalcon866: like you probably don't want to blow away the db of what software you ahve installed, but deleteing the cache of debs that are saved after downloading is probably ok, stuff like that, it's up to the individual software, I wouldn't blindly delete /var though [12:48] kelsin: i got it with the synaptic [12:49] camilo_cedetec: by installing the gcc package or the build-essential package? [12:49] asjad - what are the other pcs? and are they in the same workgroup as you? [12:49] kelsin:ok [12:49] !samba | asjad [12:49] asjad: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [12:49] Guest047, yep other computers in my workgroup they are all running windows [12:50] i dont know, i selected many file with calling gcc... and installed them [12:50] camilo_cedetec: do you want to learn how to compile and install software written by others? or do you want to learn how to use gcc, make etc to write programs of your own? [12:50] asjad - is the ubuntu box in the same workgroup? [12:50] camilo_cedetec: ok then, the first step would be to do what I originally told you to do. Install the "build-essential" package, it installs the compiler and other libraries / programs you need [12:50] just to install [12:50] Guest047, yep [12:50] camilo_cedetec: after that it's up to you to find software out there, and try to install it if you're point is to learn [12:51] asjad - what are the other machines? xp? ubuntu? etc [12:51] kelsin: i freed up 2.3GB by deleteing apts cache ty [12:51] Guest047, mine is ubuntu the other 7 are xp [12:51] sp2? [12:51] Guest047, yep [12:51] camilo_cedetec: take a look at the wine wiki for example.. there is a howto on how to install it from source.. I think the wiki is at http://wiki.winehq.org [12:51] kelsin: i tryed to install some file that i downloaded from internet and ocurred some errors..... [12:52] camilo_cedetec: after you've done what kelsin told you [12:52] asjad - can you browse the workgroup from other xp machines [12:52] \identify [12:52] Guest047, yep [12:53] Sylvarant: forward slash.. /identify [12:53] Guest047, it is only the ubuntu machine which does not show the other computers i have to access them via ip addresses [12:53] Guest047, for e.g. smb://192.168.1.4 [12:54] asjad - i do windows network engineering for a living so i understand whats going on - just dont understand why you cant browse the workgroup [12:54] camilo_cedetec: ok, I am done talking to you unless you do what I tell you and INSTALL THE build-essential PACKAGE. Software compiling doesn't ONLY depend on gcc, they use make and other tools (autoconf, automake etc) you NEED the build-essential package so go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [12:55] Guest047, wow, but i can browse it via ip addresses though. [12:55] Hello [12:55] Guest047, the names are gone [12:55] camilo_cedetec: after that you need to read the documentation for the software you're trying to install. It might depend on other libraries which means you need to install the -dev packages for those libraries as well. [12:55] asjad: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278992 [12:56] Guest047, asjad: doesn't samba have some kind of name resolution of it's own.. netbios? nmdb keeps popping up in my mind.. just a thought [12:56] hi [12:56] kelsin: thanks.... [12:56] Guest047, thanks but somehow is it possible to get my system the way it was [12:56] kelsin: i'll install them [12:56] can sombody give me the channel for the new ubuntu in development?

[12:58] joejoe: lilo, but why don't you think you can use grub? [12:59] kelsin did you not see my first post ? [12:59] joejoe: the one like ten lines ago? I don't fully understand your question from it [12:59] kelsin i formated my c drive ext3 and copied ubuntu onto it. [13:00] joejoe: and did you try installing grub on that drive yet? [13:00] joejoe - by using what tool? the livecd or the ubuntu windows installer [13:00] does anyone know how i can install kernel-2.6.20-10 with apt [13:00] kelsin no i don't think it can be done.

I can only use about 10% of my internet connection? [13:02] joejoe: you can also follow the dir for "lost grub after installing windows" cause you're dealing with the same thing, a drive without grub on it, but with a ubuntu install [13:02] kelsin i didn't say. reformatted you did [13:02] anybody help! i just attached a new harddisk of a friend, but am not able to mount it. i can see the partitions using fdisk but there is no /dev/hdb5 or /dev/hdb6. only /dev/hdb [13:02] help please [13:03] Slart no. i did not.

[13:03] ok [13:03] joejoe: then please restate what you did, since what you previously said is wrong [13:03] joejoe: " formated my c drive ext3 and copied that installation".. that sounds like a ext 3 partition to me [13:03] Slart, I can get around 800Kb/s on my Laptop (with vista) but only 80Kb/s on this Computer (ubuntu 7.10) [13:03] its fat32 [13:04] kelsin and Slart "i formated my c drive and copied ubuntu onto it" [13:04] BB882: using what kind of transfer? udp ping? tcp/ip? samba?

[13:07] i installed gparted and saw that both the partitions are fat32 [13:07] joejoe: ok then you're doing stuff with your drive way more advanced then this channel can help you with, or you're just not listening to us, I would suggest installing grub onto this drive with "grub-install /dev/" if it doesn't it won't wreck anything and then you can do some reading about partitions and drives and figure it out on your own [13:07] bobby - so you have two partitions that are fat32? [13:07] joejoe: then I don't think anyone here can help you... you've managed to do something noone else has.. putting files on a hard drive without a partition.. amazing [13:07] could it be software issue or hardware issue cause it used to work on my laptop on this new updated ubuntu version gusty [13:07] Guest047 - yeah, 2 partitions on the new disk which are fat 32 [13:08] bobby - what size are the partitions? [13:08] BB882: sorry.. got carried away with the hard drive stuff.. =).. I have no idea why your ubuntu box would be 10 times slower than a vista machine using regular http traffic.. [13:08] Guest047 - 39.07GB and 15.92 GB [13:08] bobby - the 39 gig wont mount because fat32 has a 32gb limitation [13:08] Slart linux doesn't need a partition to make a file system. anyone can do that. mke2fs -j /dev/hda and blam you have what i have. [13:09] BB882: how did you measure the network traffic? [13:09] I know, it is bizarre. If I am doing something remotely "network intensive", then my internet suffers. [13:09] Guest047 - but i mounted it in an another ubuntu system [13:09] how is that possible [13:09] bobby - im willing to bet you have corrupted the fs by mounting it [13:09] :( [13:09] Well I am downloading a torrent, it is going around 86kb/s, when in theory, the speed of the current torrent is 18mb/s, and has around 200 seeders, with 10 leechers. So in theory, I should max out. [13:09] kelsin ok. thank you for responding. and i'm thinking lilo will work ok. [13:10] joejoe: that is not the recommended way to isntall anything onto a drive. Again you're doing stuff that is not supported or recommended. You can play with doing that all you want, but it's up to you to read grub or lilo docs and figure out how to install a bootloader yourself [13:10] ok [13:10] let me see what i can do [13:10] thanks for the help guys [13:10] bbye [13:10] bobby - open a terminal and type in "cat /var/log/messages |grep fat" and you should see a message about unable to mount and it will give you a reason [13:10] ok [13:10] Guest047 - 1 min [13:11] Guest047 - nothin there [13:11] kelsin confession time. i already know all about how to install lilo, and already knew that grub can't install there because of it not having a partition. just thought i'd educate anyone that might "think they knew" hope that wasn't to offencive. :) [13:12] sudo apt-get ghc6 < what verison is that? 6.6.0? 6.6.1? 6.6.2? [13:12] xLE - have a look in synaptic or there should be a flag you can put through apt to find out [13:12] !ghc [13:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ghc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:12] joejoe: educate people on how to do something they shouldn't be doing? and then how to fix it??? This is a support chanell for helping people, OBVIOUSLY we're going to respond as if you didn't force creation of a file system on a blank drive device, casue we assume if you're doing that you know what you're doing [13:12] joejoe: go waste time somewhere else please [13:13] which driver should be installed for fat32? [13:13] bobby - no such thing as a driver in ubuntu -its a module ... whats the error message [13:13] kelsin no educate them to the fact that "if someone tries that, and they do. you can know in advance that you can't use grub there." [13:13] Guest047 - no error message is there. [13:13] cat + grep fat returned nothing [13:13] joejoe: we would NEVER have someone do that ever, and if they did by accident we would fix it, it not anything new and now you've wasted my time, thanks and good day [13:14] bobby - what about grepping for FAT or Fat [13:14] which module should be present for reading fat32? [13:14] i am trying to boot the live 7.10 cd on my machine, but i can't get to the graphics mode [13:14] thanks Guest047. [13:15] kelsin your time is cheep. you violenteer here.... ;/ and good day. [13:15] actually i have other fat32 partitions on my first hard disk mounted, and working fine [13:15] its just the second hard disk fat partitions that are giving me the problems [13:15] bobby also dmesg | grep sdb [13:15] wt is the meaning of this log and how to solve it ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48074/ [13:16] I have an external hard disk which uses ntfs. Is there any partitioning tool for ubuntu that can create an ext3 partition from the free space on it, without losing data? [13:16] is there any way to make Gnome lighter??

The problem is when i try to stay up-to-date, it seems that ubuntu cannot get connected to the net due to fail when authenticating with the proxy server. I tried to fix this on system > preferences > network but it didnt work. Is there some way to get my ubuntu connected with the domain, so [14:53] the system can stay up-to-date and i could share some files and access shared printers...?

[14:54] hi [14:54] man all of u guys are programmers for ubuntu? [14:54] Zlomp: no [14:55] or a fan club?

[14:56] Zlomp: please join #ubuntu-offtopic [14:56] sorry [14:57] Jay-Oh-En: It was rar but non-free .. looking now [14:59] Jay-Oh-En: Try synaptic and search for rar.. it mentions non-free but doesnt list it... there is a free which might imply the other is non-free [15:00] When running sleep.sh kern.log includes a line "kernel: [19716:296000] PM: Preparing system for mem sleep."

[15:08] * fredl frowns [15:08] is there some weird dependency? [15:08] fredl: because you installed it before adobe updated the version on their site [15:08] aha! I see [15:08] 5 minutes from starting computer till desktop appears, after that, opening terminal cost around 40 second. NICE ubuntu!!!! [15:08] fredl: the package downloads the tar.gz from adobe and checks the md5sum [15:08] thanks jrib, that's helpfull. [15:09] mosno: I have an alternative grep command at hand that resembles yours. In the past both did their job and I could not find big differences in their results. -- So probably the culprit is somewhere else.

[15:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48080/ [15:36] ipx: Please turn off scripts like that in this channel. [15:36] I will [15:36] Worst fucking script ever [15:36] sry for swearing [15:36] it automatically sent info as soon as i changed song to all channels [15:37] profanephobia found one reference to my problem using google, where a guy says "Wipe out the python modules and reinstall" [15:37] is there a shell command for changing my VNC password [15:37] obry obry [15:37] I'm having a little problem with cups printing on a new ubuntu install..Ive got an old parallel printer plugged in with a usb-to-parallel conversion cable. the usb subsystem has correclty added a /dev/usb/lp0 printer, but cups cant find it in the printer setup on the *:631 web page for cups admin [15:37] Picchio, im lookin it up right now, see if i can find anything [15:38] How do I make a icon that will run less to a file in gnome-terminal? [15:38] permissions are the same as for the /dev/lp0 device that is working [15:38] illo k pasa loko [15:38] or a xterm?

[15:52] Jesus|Freak, it should [15:52] Before my last reboot my wireless card showed up in iwconfig, now it doesn't. Anyone have any idea on how to start troubleshooting? [15:52] It was installed with ndiswrapper [15:52] profanephobia that did nothing [15:53] barongas: add modprobe ndiswrapper into /etc/modules [15:53] c'mon it'll take 30 seconds of someones time to just listen to an mp3 for a moment off my media server. I want to know if it buffers properly over the net [15:54] Picchio, it was a long shot.. well im not really sure.. if you cant find help here for this try asking in #linux as well... theyve helped me in the past [15:54] ndiswrapper on its own. then when linux boots it will load that module. [15:54] mcquaid , give me the link [15:54] k [15:55] brobostigon: It is there, modprobe however freezes when I do it with modprobe ndiswrapper so I used ndiswrapper -m instead...

Just ask your question :) [16:06] !lastlog ajul [16:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about lastlog ajul - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:06] is there anyone who has got some real knowledge [16:06] !transmission [16:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about transmission - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:06] ajul: are you capable of asking for help? [16:08] ok i installed ubuntu 7.10 using text based installer as the cd was really slow and now i can't see my ubuntu partition from windows as there is no drive letter assigned do it. how do i assign one? [16:08] #kubuntu [16:08] ajul: what filesystem does your ubuntu use? [16:08] yoou cant, because linuxs partition is in foprmat windows cant understand [16:08] ajul, you dont, windows doesnt see the drive becuase the ubuntu partition is not a dos/ntfs partition that windows understands how to work with [16:08] brobostigon: there is a driver for it [16:09] !ext3 | ajul [16:09] ajul: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [16:09] ajul: That's not quite how it works. You'll need to install something like explore2fs [16:09] it uses something like ext3 [16:09] ajul: use fs-driver.org [16:09] thanks for the help. [16:10] the immaturity was because i am a really new user and using this irc first time [16:10] hope your advice works for me [16:11] What's the domain name for counry united states of america ?

[16:12] I.e Pigdeon, Kopete, Thundebird etc. [16:12] My ndiswrapper problems seem to arise from irq assignments, checked my acpi log and from what I read I think it might be colliding with a usb hub, as you notice I am a layman and don't know what the next step would be. I want to be able to help myself though but if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction I'd be grateful. [16:13] aladdinsane: you can put a full ubuntu on the stick [16:13] barongas: PCI devices can share IRQs just fine [16:15] i dont know if ive ever seen this place so dead [16:15] mwhahahaha [16:15] fuey [16:15] wols I first read that ndiswrapper could have some problems, when i checked kern.log I thought it seemed right, maybe it was just wishful thinking from my side to find the problem :( [16:15] Microsoft is still sending me e-mail. ;( [16:15] I guess all the problems in ubuntu have been fixed and this is how it looks like :) [16:16] Have we reached the end of the Internet? [16:16] I heard there was supposed to be a boss. [16:17] ndiswrapper is a hack, its not the way things are supposed to be done in linux, so its not going to be 100% smooth [16:17] Would anyone here know about the Ubuntu LiveCD i386 iso?

[16:20] MasterShrek: I know there is one available, but it only includes XFCE/KDE (not Kubuntu/Xubuntu) [16:20] barongas: you got it working with ndiswrapper, now you have to make sure that ndiswrapper loads it each time you reboot, or go through the process everytime [16:21] hi [16:21] barongas: /etc/modules ??? [16:22] can someone help me with an install issue? [16:22] Anyway, anyone know where the DVD is that has all 3 and I can choose to use 1 of them (pure, not mixed together)?
