[00:41] vocx: relatively small, it's my home directory [00:41] blizzo1, oh, I think the package is "linux-source-" or something [00:41] vocx: but all the backup sets combined are about70GB [00:42] But I still can't find the cx88_alsa.c file to patch. [00:42] vocx, thanks. === allbert is now known as allbert_ [00:43] vocx: I found out how to reset the display resolution! CTRL-ALT and the number pad + or - [00:43] desertc, I have a crappy video card, so I can only play rrootage for a few minutes before it crashes, and if I'm in fullscreen the screen ends up with 640x400 as you said. [00:44] Hi, until recently, my wireless card would connect to all networks. Recently it stopped connecting to the network I need it to connect to but will connect to others. Any suggestions? [00:44] Hello === lumpy__ is now known as lumpy [00:45] desertc, it's a good game, I wish I had time (or the guy at Programming Talk in the forums) to hack the code, add different modes, bosses or something, and better music, or a playlist-whatever. === lumpy is now known as lumpster [00:45] heya can anyone suggest a lightweight programming editor? [00:45] Say I want to listen to a live audio stream, but I have to stop listening to it every now and then for whatever reason. Is there a program I can use that would record the stream into a buffer as it's playing, and let me play/pause the stream whenever I need to? [00:45] vocx: Did you see my fix for the video ? [00:46] renegade420, basic text editor is a programming editor like gedit,vim, geany. Just pick one. [00:48] vocx, cool thanks. Is geany easy to learn? [00:48] desertc, I did. Now I recall I had read it somewhere before. Not sure if it's an X or gnome specific shortcut. [00:48] hey i have a question about ubuntu [00:48] what? [00:48] when i boot from my cd, the desktop isnt oriented right [00:48] is the question? [00:49] the toolbars are a third of the way up the screen [00:49] like the bottom and the top arent oriented right [00:49] renegade420, I would be lying. I haven't used geany because I'm pretty happy with gedit and vim. But others seem to recommend it a lot, because it is lightweight. [00:49] anyone got any ideas? [00:50] f343f34, I believe there is a way to set the screen resolution in the Live CD when booting. Have you tried different resolutions? [00:50] can't help you, sorry === swombat_ is now known as swombat [00:50] hmm [00:50] no i havent tried that vocx [00:50] f343f34: If you have some reason to not actually install it, you should get a USB drive and use persistent mode [00:51] vocx, I would probably opt to trying geany [00:51] vocx, because i am running an eeepc [00:51] where do i go to add an icon package? [00:51] wait [00:52] Okay, I've figured out a workaround.. Open the stream in VLC, use the advanced options to save it to a file, then listen to it in another VLC instance at the same time. I thought that it would only play up to the point that it was at when you opened the file, but it keeps going as the stream is being downloaded. [00:52] hey p_quarles how to i use persistent mode? [00:52] or how do i enter that mode [00:53] how do i add icons in ubuntu? [00:53] would changing the screen resolution not work [00:53] ? [00:53] renegade420, what is that? SOme sort of alien technology?

[00:54] thanks [00:55] quaal: K3B does it [00:55] How do you get rid of nm-applet? As in, stop it from running on boot [00:55] desertc, it just failed [00:55] I got my network card working without it [00:55] would 512 ram 500 mgz machine be good enough for 7.10? [00:55] quaal: cdrecord -dao cuefile=FILE.cue [00:56] quaal: I'm just using Google, by the way [00:56] but do u know why the toolbars would be 1/3 the way up the screen? [00:56] NetLarIrvine, maybe Xubuntu [00:56] is it the resolution is wrong [00:56] ? [00:56] toolbars 1/3 the way up the screen = gay [00:56] So what is minimum requirement for 7.10 ubuntu?

Next time, buy a computer with Ubuntu preinstalled and supported [01:09] NetLarIrvine: if you're having trouble with ubuntu, you may try Solaris 10. It is a bit easier to get going [01:09] solaris!

[01:19] heat, yes [01:19] adelie, I've typed my problem [01:19] SniperFromHell: I have a good irc client that hilights the msg if my name is caps or not, and you couldn't find the printer by browsing? You should ask the network manager where to find it, and maybe just type the path in [01:19] YannTech, unfortunately, that also uses the wrong interface.

[01:22] adelie, yup [01:22] YannTech, you told me to try mplayer? [01:22] adelie, volume is there but with low sound [01:22] Herbo: Have had the same problem. do you possibly have a volume control on your keyboard? (how it has happened to me) [01:22] YannTech, there is no setting to choose sound card in vlc, as far as I can tell. === jared_ is now known as tofaffy|Laptop [01:22] qualcuno mi aiuta [01:22] adelie: if you triple boot, with windows, linux and solaris, only the solaris GRUB version understands all 3 operating systems.

[01:23] XiXaQ, VLC permit to select wich sound card you want [01:23] adelie, What does it supposed to be ? [01:23] how? [01:23] Herbo: most applications, particularly media players, can set their own volume, than I am sure there is your speaker volume. There is also a sound driver volume, AND a system master volume [01:23] Law506: the desktop cube is drawn by the windows manager (compiz or beryl if you're using an old system), emerald is the part that draws windows borders, so yes [01:23] YannTech, I've searched for it for months. [01:23] hmm [01:24] adelie, would like to see any info because I can't figure it out [01:24] hence, it seems like ubuntu does a check everytime there is a install or upgrade using apt-get which installs the ubuntu GRUB version thus hosing the solaris one. Then the person needs to go with a solaris boot disk to reinstall the one they want.

Thanks :) [01:27] herbo: are you sure the speakers are plugged into the microphone out and not the line out? line out required powered speakers (amplifier) [01:27] adelie, then its not a hardware issue [01:27] Law506: so it's not giving you any messages when you click the checkbox next to the cube, just doesn't select it? [01:27] no problem XiXaQ ;) [01:27] adelie, its a system issue i persume [01:28] Harbo: same problem between windows and ubuntu? [01:28] kelsin: correct [01:28] Law506: can you trying runnig it from the terminal with "ccsm" and see if you get any errors when trying to select desktop cube? [01:28] Harbo: the speakers can be in the wrong port and you will still get sound, specifically line out [01:28] adelie, what I've mentioned Its working normally in windows and hear no sound in Ubuntu " to be honest hear a very low sound " === test_ is now known as hhhhh [01:28] kelsin: k, hang on [01:29] So are there kde4 packages in gutsy-backports, a page on the site says there is supposed to be, but I don't think its accurate? I just want to test out KDE4 on my pc [01:29] jimmygoon, I downloaded them a while ago from backports, didn't work (didn't try hard either) [01:30] it's the time to sleep ( 02:30 AM ) [01:30] adelie, lets fix the issue likewise I've no sound recognized at all [01:30] bye bye [01:30] Harbo: ok, caught up. try the sound test in system -> preferences -> sound? there you can try different drivers / setups and try to play test sounds [01:30] I have a problem with my xserver. I got it running but it's in 1024x768 and I don't want to ruin it again by trying to up it to 1280x1024. Thanks a lot. [01:30] adelie, could you consider that instead ? [01:30] nickrud, hum, maybe I'll see if someone else has a more "reliable" repo up [01:31] kelsin: nevermind, i had deselected Automatic Plugins and it took awway the cube, I got it now, thanks for the assist though [01:31] jimmygoon, could be better now, there were conflicts with multiple packages having the same file in them [01:31] Hi every one ,, i got a problem with installing xine-lib saying missing cdrom ioctl ,, is there a way to avoid that ? [01:31] take your computer [01:31] and bash it against your head [01:31] Alphamonkey, you must have a mac [01:31] that usually fixes most problems [01:32] does it ? [01:32] yup [01:32] works everytime [01:32] Harbo: ?? Sorry I didn't get what you probably explained before I got here just a bit ago, but from what you have said now, if it works in windows, and not in ubuntu, you should be able to resolve the issue through the config test in the sound preferences panel [01:32] you do it ? [01:32] I find taking the office space approach to electronics works... sometimes [01:32] yeasssssssssssssss [01:32] anyone could help me install urban terror?

[01:33] does anyone know if the Restricted Drivers Manager installs the very latest stable proprietary drivers like Envy does? or if they're slightly dated? [01:33] cdrom ioctls ,, anyone ? [01:33] adelie, It can't be fixed from the config test because Its working but like you've reduce your sound volume but its not anymore [01:33] bjbum, for gutsy, it 8.37 something [01:33] RoAkSoAx: ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbons) [01:33] Does anybody know how I can change how Firefox in Ubuntu 7.10 handles IRC Server open requests? [01:33] yeah i have the install script on my desktop just can't get it running [01:34] n00bie gutsy should recognice ipw2200 [01:34] i'm running ubuntu gutsy gibbon with all the updates but my cpu runs extremely hot [01:34] nickrud, ahh. So if I used Envy it should give me newer drivers? [01:34] 77C [01:34] i have hp dv5000 and i'm googled everything i could and haven't found anything that works [01:34] ricanelite: you'll need to run it in the shell. go to the directory, and type ./name_of_script [01:34] what flag do i need to add to rsync to make it delete stuff on the destination directory that's not on the original? [01:34] well it is sitting on my desktop [01:35] i have terminal open [01:35] Harbo: well, other option, if you left click on the sound applet, there is a "open volume control". certain setups have very low volume by default. I get that with my optical sound [01:35] RoAkSoAx: how can i verify this? (bare with me, i'm new to this :) [01:35] jals: the flag for that is --delete [01:35] n00bie try iwconfig in the command line [01:35] ricanelite: so, move it the script to your home directory [01:36] RoAkSoAx: http://pastebin.com/d5f92d1fa [01:36] okay [01:36] what else? [01:36] adelie, everything is maxed in playback [01:36] n00bie you using network-manager right? [01:36] bjbum yes, but don't expect much support here for envy [01:36] RoAkSoAx: hmm, no [01:36] ricanelite: run the script -- type ./name-of-script [01:37] can anyone tell me why I cant save a profile in network manager? [01:37] n00bie: on the right top corner is there anything to manage networks? [01:37] adelie, can we try to reload the snd modules [01:37] thanks p_quarles [01:37] Herbo: there is nothing else to turn up? [01:37] right now im in ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$ [01:37] byebye everyone [01:37] do i need to move to my home? and if so how? [01:37] ipv6 power ;-) [01:37] hi everyone [01:37] adelie, perhaps there's something wrong with the modules or sound driver configuration [01:37] that is your home directory [01:38] adelie, or there's nothing to do with it at all [01:38] Herbo: dpkg --reconfigure alsa will let you manually configure it, if you really want to try that. [01:38] RoAkSoAx: well, there's an icon where i enable/disenable both 'Networking' and 'Wireless' [01:38] RoAkSoAx: both are checked [01:38] ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$ ./urt40-linux-installer.sh [01:38] bash: ./urt40-linux-installer.sh: Permission denied [01:38] RoAkSoAx: +can somewhere in there [01:38] I'm trying to get compiz working on Dell D610 with intel graphic card, can anyone help please [01:38] n00bie ok soy give a left click over that icon and what do you see [01:39] !mp3 [01:39] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:39] ricanelite: sudo chown ricanelite urt40-linux-installer.sh [01:39] ?? [01:39] im sorry [01:39] if you run that command, it will allow you to run the script [01:40] Herbo: but it is really hard to say what it could be without actually witnessing the symptoms. I have about covered every problem I have seen and its fix. the `dpkg --reconfigure alsa' I have never had to do to get sound to work, but... as long a it already doesn't work, why not. [01:40] RoAkSoAx: 'connect to other wireless network', 'create new wireless network' and 'manual configuration' [01:40] it went right back ricanelite@ricanelite-desktop:~$ [01:40] adelie, --reconfigure is not the correct option [01:40] Herbo: oh, btw, are you using alsa or oss? [01:41] n00bie ok, so it seems that you can connect to wireless networks, do you have any specific one that you want to connect? [01:41] herbo: hmm... sec [01:41] Herbo, don't know , how do I know ? [01:41] ricanelite: it will allow you to run the script -- you still have to run the script manually [01:41] okay [01:41] how? [01:41] with the command I gave you earlier [01:42] how do i run commands and put them in background mode? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [01:42] onats: use nohup [01:42] RoAkSoAx: yes, my own access point, though it isn't set up yet === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [01:42] Herbo: sorry, `debconf --reconfigure alsa-base' === _max is now known as max [01:43] p_quarles, it still doesn't run in the background [01:43] n00bie: ok so click on 'connect to other wireless network' and enter the information of your wireless network/AP [01:43] RoAkSoAx: in windows i know i had to push the dedicated wireless button to enable wlan, but that button doesn't work in linux [01:43] doe's anyone know how to get compiz working on a dell D610 [01:43] onats: what command are we talking about here? [01:43] emerald --replace [01:43] adelie, how do I know about alsa or oss ? [01:44] n00bie: you have to enable wireless card by pressing that dedicated button and after that you have to setup your wireless network with 'Connect to Other Wireless Networks' [01:44] p_quarles, nohup gedit & for example, you can even close the terminal you ran it in [01:44] adelie, btw Unknown option: reconfigure still now work [01:44] n00bie: you will be asked to enter the information of your network [01:44] my fullscreen application suddenly turns window and locks my system, only ctrl+alt+something works... anyone knows ow to figure that out? [01:44] sudo chown ricanelite urt40-linux-installer.sh [01:44] ? [01:44] adelie, not* [01:44] Herbo: If you had checked out System -> preferences -> Sound, it will tell you what sound driver is being used for each sound device, and lets you change it. [01:45] erm, onats nohup gedit & for example, you can even close the terminal you ran it in [01:45] RoAkSoAx: well, i don't really have a name for it yet... i tried 192.168.0.1, but that didn't work [01:45] I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin and it's freezing at "Detecting Hard Disks and Other Hardware".. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine. [01:45] onats: so, you want to run that command repeatedly? rather than just at startup? [01:45] wait, why are we using "nohup" for?

I have set the window to open with a title and created a rule to match on that tile. However, when I launch the application it places the window about 200 pixels higher than where I have instructed it to be placed. [01:45] adelie, everything is autodected [01:45] jimmygoon, for the ability to disown the app from the terminal [01:45] adelie, except sound capture [01:46] n00bie you have to setup your AP to have an SSID, then you will have to setup the network configuration, it will ask you to enter the SSID and if it has an authentication method and so on [01:46] Xsss4hell, depends on mirrors you download from. [01:46] please can anyone help me with compiz on Dell D610 [01:46] All my other placement rules are working except in this area of the desktop [01:46] nickrud, is that really required? why not just do "gedit &" (I really don't know any different) [01:46] adelie, debconf --reconfigure alsa-base .. --reconfigure still unknown option [01:46] !anyone | alphaiceman [01:46] alphaiceman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[01:48] adelie, can you give the correct command to reconfigure alsa [01:48] anyone know Quicksilver (for Mac)? [01:48] onats: can you just run it in the session startup sequence?

I only use it to fix video problems. try googling debconf for howto's [01:49] herbo: gotta go unfortunately. best luck [01:49] n00bie so that means that the functionallity of thaat button is not working but it doesnt mean that your wireless card is not working [01:49] onats, often I run gedit & (or some other app) in a terminal, then want to close the terminal and keep gedit. I would then type disown , then I can exit the terminal and keep the app [01:49] I have Gutsy [01:49] Slynderdale, it is possible to do a network install with ubuntu, though I've never done so [01:49] Quicksilver for linux (soon) : http://groups.google.com/group/JQuickSilver/web/jquicksilver---new-features-29-11-07 [01:49] onats, not sure if that's what you're after, what is your use case? [01:50] nickrud, where do you type the disown? in the same terminal? [01:50] alphaiceman, so you know ubotu is a bot [01:50] RoAkSoAx: well, maybe not... [01:50] n00bie just try to connect to the wireless network dont pay attention to that button [01:50] jimmygoon: Do you know where I can information on it?

[01:51] nickrud, ok.. here's the scenario. right now, i don't have titlebars in my windows (bug, can be fixed by restart, but don't want that option).

[01:52] nickrud, the titlebars remain...

Once you boot into it it'll download the necessary files and install.

[01:53] Can somebody tell me why Ubuntu makes my internet download experience bad? It gives me only 4Mbit instead of possible 16Mbit, NO WINDOWS gives me the full speed. I'm surfing through eth0 so, it's not due to wlan distortions. Can somebody tell me howto make Ubuntu optimize for DSL? [01:53] hi all, where is the best way to download ebook?

[01:53] Slynderdale, look at the section titled "Server and Network installations" : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation?highlight=%28install%29 [01:53] nickrud, so i take it if i close this term, it will also terminate that job?

But: you can also say disown (iirc it takes two) , and then close the terminal without losing emerald [01:54] I am having trouble sorting out permissions for Virtualbox-OSE from CVS.

I am already a member of vboxusers. [01:58] KinPumpkinKing: to me that doesn't sound like a graphics card issue (honeslty I have no idea though), have you tried running them in a differen Xserver? It's kindof complicate but can lead to less problems [01:58] mohkohn: no, vboxusers is enough. have you rebooted after installing virtualbox?

I would obviously try to limit what else is running while playing a game [02:00] I cant seem to convince Ubuntu to keep my display resolution settings intact between logins... it always reverts back to 1024x768 [02:00] KinPumpkinKing: no no no, you can run a second X windows server with only the game running. People did it a lot with quake III and unreal etc [02:00] mohkohn: uh... i'm missing a lot of things. 1) what are those question marks? 2) why do you have a "vbox" directory in your home, and what is it? 3) well, not a question, but use "sudo -i" rather than "sudo su" [02:01] KinPumpkinKing: so like you can hit ctrl-alt-F1-6 to get to the consoles and 7 to get the the gui, you can then do F8 to get to the game [02:01] kelsin, hmm, but I did run with nothing else open but it still did the same thing [02:01] KinPumpkinKing: but it's not the easiest thing to do, just would make it so something else can't "grab" the screen away from the game [02:01] anyone here know how to change a user SID in samba besides with pdbedit -U (isn't working) [02:01] KinPumpkinKing: if F8 doesnt work, try F9 [02:02] kelsin, I see... I'll try that now, thanks [02:02] How do I access my Linux partition on a Mac? [02:02] KinPumpkinKing: I would google a bit to find out if others are having that issue, but it def doesn't sound like a graphics card thing === jared_ is now known as tofaffy|lappy === tofaffy|lappy is now known as tofaffy|rawr [02:02] kelsin, oooh, except I need to run XQF to play the game... [02:02] KinPumpkinKing: I would also run the games from the terminal redirecting output to log files [02:02] LjL, It is built from CVS. The question marks come when I ls -la as a user. as root it ls -la is normal. [02:02] kelsin, yeah, I'll try with the terminal now... [02:02] KinPumpkinKing: "game-commands 1> stdout.log 2> stderr.log" to see if any errors happen [02:03] KinPumpkinKing: so even if it crashes you mgiht be able to see an erro in those two files after reboot [02:03] kelsin, actually I found a way of not having to reboot, I just hit ctrl+alt+backspace, that still works... [02:03] no Kelsin it doesn't return anything [02:04] Install freezes at "Detecting Hard disks and other Hardware" - I'm installing Ubuntu (From Fedora) with Unetbootin. I've had Ubuntu before (Though with Wubi) just fine. [02:04] hmm... [02:04] i need some guidance on how to set up wlan in ubuntu... my wlan card is a Intel proset 2200bg... i have a dedicated button for enabling/disabling the card, but this doesn't work [02:04] Ose: can you do Unetbootin from another OS, or use a CD? [02:04] alphaiceman: you don't have the composite extension enabled, make sure you have the composite section in xorg.conf, one sec, finding it [02:04] My CD drive is borked and all I have installed is Fedora. [02:04] kelsin, I'll google a little... thanks for all your help [02:04] ty Kelsin [02:05] alphaiceman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84711 [02:05] Can somebody tell me why Ubuntu makes my internet download experience bad? It gives me only 4Mbit instead of possible 16Mbit, NO WINDOWS gives me the full speed. I'm surfing through eth0 so, it's not due to wlan distortions. Can somebody tell me howto make Ubuntu optimize for DSL? [02:05] alphaiceman: don't need to read the whole thing but make sure those three lines enabled composite are in your xorg.conf (have to sudo edit, like "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [02:06] maybeway36: My cd drive is borked and all I have installed is Fedora 8. Would that make a difference? I thought all it did was initialize the download and install? [02:06] Ose: I had trouble with IDE installing Ubuntu just recently. I had to enable to enable the generic IDE driver in the boot parameters [02:06] Ose: I'm not really sure [02:06] brennanos: Hmm. How would I do that? [02:06] kelsin, do you know what's OpenGL's flipping? [02:06] ty Kelsin, I'm going to try that [02:06] KinPumpkinKing: nope :-( [02:06] Ose: generic.all_generic_ide=1 as a boot parameter [02:06] j [02:07] Ose: not sure where or when you have the chance to do boot parameter the way you are installing [02:07] brennanos: Not sure how to setup boot parameters.. First time on Linux, mostly. Hit e on UNetbootin in GRUB? [02:07] Ose: yes [02:07] anybody know why tools such as nmap, scanrand, paratrace, etc always fail or just don't do anything? i have used them before on a default ubuntu installation, and they worked without me having to tweak anything [02:07] Anyone know to which directory povray textures go? [02:07] then there will be like three lines of "stuff" [02:07] Brennanos: Okay, I'll try that then. Thanks! [02:07] but on this laptop that doesn't seem to be the case [02:07] hey.. im at the archive url to download the kernel source to install programs like my nvidia drivers and kppp what to i need to download? the generic headers, rt headers, generic image, the hole orginal source, or any combo i just mentioned? [02:08] then you pick a line and hit 'e' again, then stick that string I gave you at the end [02:08] paynegod: shoudl be able to just install the linux-headers package [02:08] just the headers? [02:08] paynegod: and the nvidia driver, any reason you want to use the nvidia one instaed of the nvidia-glx-new package? [02:08] paynegod: most packages just need the headers, but it does depend on what you're installing (nvidia just needs headers, don't know about kppp) [02:09] kelsin: i get extremely poor performance with my os on my linux machine [02:09] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: munin-node is broken or not fully installed Any ideas ? [02:09] all i did was a normal apt-get install munin-node [02:09] on a clean system [02:09] kelsin: the frame rate i imagian is like 10 ish "guessing" just opening a program is a waiting game [02:10] i need some guidance on how to set up wlan in ubuntu... my wlan card is a Intel proset 2200bg... i have a dedicated button for enabling/disabling the card, but this doesn't work [02:10] paynegod: did you install the nvidia-glx-new package and did you check that direct rendering was on? [02:10] #jakarta [02:10] mohkohn, uhm, i use the official Ubuntu package... wouldn't that be a better idea? :| anyway, the vbox directory seems to not be executable (directories should be), so try sudo chmod u+x ~/vbox [02:10] kelsin: direct rendering? [02:10] paynegod: you can run "glxinfo | grep direct" in a terminal [02:11] LjL the official package works for the official kernel. My laptop doesn't boot with the official kernel. I will try your suggestion. thanks. [02:11] n00bie: the button probably won't do anything in ubuntu without other work (most likely, it depends) but the 2200 should be enabled and working by default, do you not see a list of wireless networks when you left click on the network manager applet int he top bar? [02:11] hey, sweet, the adobe flash plugin actually works [02:11] kelsin: ok il lgive that a try [02:12] kelsin: would it give me the option to turn it on if its not? [02:12] no it will just tell you if youre 3d acceleration is on or not [02:12] can somebody help me to install packages to play DVD movies and divX and Xvid [02:12] ah ok. [02:12] paynegod: either way I would still recommend using the ubuntu package for the nvidia drivers rather then installing the nvidia one [02:13] test [02:13] kelsin: i assumed the drivers packed with the cd were faulty when i checked the restricted drivers manager it said it wasnt on [02:14] kelsin: no, i don't... and there are several wireless networks around me [02:14] paynegod: did you try to enable it from the restricted drivers manager? [02:14] hello? [02:14] n00bie: does "iwconfig" config in the terminal list your card? [02:14] kelsin: yea but it didnt do anything it stayed off [02:14] paynegod: with no messages or problems at all? [02:14] paynegod: I would try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" to see if it can actually install [02:15] kelsin: no the window flickered and showed me it was still off [02:15] kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d5f92d1fa [02:15] kelsin: i tried it a few times in a row with same results [02:15] where can I find commands to install packages [02:15] n00bie: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces [02:15] Can I get some help installing flash for firefox? I do the install, and it asked for my mozilla path, and I tell it /usr/bin/firefox and it tells me it is not a directory, but which firefox tells me to use that [02:15] and where do I get these "packages" such as libdvdnav4, lidvdplay0, and libdvdread3 from? [02:15] shamas: man apt for apt-get [02:15] !dvd [02:15] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [02:15] shamas: for DVDs, follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [02:16] Joshooa: does running "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" not work for you? [02:16] kelsin: No, it downloads it but says it's not installed [02:16] kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d5c86c7d3 [02:16] kelsin: I tried that first [02:16] kelsin: the installer for flash has been broken since the last upgrade. [02:16] Joshooa: I just installed that plugin [02:17] Joshooa: like 4 minutes ago [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: I thought it was fixed recently [02:17] Joshooa: it installed in ~/.mozilla [02:17] Brennanos: No luck.. Stalled again. Any other ideas? [02:17] n00bie: if you right click on the network manager applet do you have wireless enabled? [02:17] thanks guys I'll check it out :) [02:17] is there a good linux/windows benchmark program? [02:17] kelsin: I thought so too, but had problems again today.. the installer has not been updated for the recent flash udate. You need to grab the tar.gz from adobe and install the .so to your ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [02:17] Ose: that sucks [02:17] brennanos: Well it says, Download Done. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [02:17] kelsin: yes, i do [02:17] LjL, thanks that sorted the permissions. I will note in my Tomboy notes. [02:18] hi, what should I do to install the java plugin on 64bit?? [02:18] Joshooa: I would listen to Jack and put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:18] Joshooa: yeah, I got that too, yesterday. I went directly to Adobe's download site and got it there, then ran the installer [02:18] ConstyXIV: you cant compare / benchmark them against each other. It is like comparing Apples and oranges. [02:18] n00bie: does "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" give you results? [02:18] Joshooa: but yeah, it appears that just the .so needs to be in ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:18] Brennanos: Last time I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on Windows and then transfered it to its own partition.. And *then* updated to 7.10. That should be the same, right? [02:19] Ose: not sure [02:19] hi [02:19] kelsin: eth1 No scan results [02:19] Ose: wubi is a bad idea [02:19] kelsin: assuming i cant get 3d acceleration working with the packaged drivers witch header package do i need to get the nvidia package to compile? [02:19] I don't have ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:19] Joshooa: odd [02:19] paynegod: normall linux-headers will get what you need [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: That's what I figured.. I hadn't discovered UNetbootin at the time. I used UNet for Fedora, but I'd like to switch back to Ubuntu. [02:20] kelsin: generic? [02:20] Whatever i put for Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, [02:20] or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): wont work [02:20] Joshooa: hold off for a day or so. they will get it straightened out [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: It freezes at detecting hardware, though. [02:20] good evening/day/morning :) [02:20] paynegod: there should be a packaged called "linux-headers" [02:20] Joshooa: try downloading the installer from Adobe... it should report your Firefox install directory [02:20] paynegod: a virtual package pointing to what you need [02:20] brennanos: I am currently using the installer from adobe [02:20] paynegod: so a "sudo apt-get install linux-headers" should suffice [02:20] theres several types labled generic,rt,virtual,server ect. === dfletcher_ is now known as dfletcher [02:20] Ose: use the alt cd or F6 at start - install then boot options. [02:20] can anyone remind me how I can restart my init.ds stuff, as in if I make a change, how can I set it in motion [02:21] Hi Kelsin, when I perform a sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf I got an empty file? should there be something? [02:21] kelsin: my linux system isnt internet able right now im flash driveing everything to transfer over [02:21] Joshooa: if you're trying to install to /usr/lib are you running as sudo? [02:21] cylence: sudo /etc/init.d/program-name restart [02:21] Joshooa: and where does it tell you your FIrefox install is? [02:21] brennanos: It wants my installation path, and I can't find it. I tell it what which firefox says, it says no, I try /home/joshua/.mozilla, it says no, I try /home/joshua/.mozilla/firefox, it says no [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: WIth Unetbootin? My CD drive doesn't work so I'm stuck with this method. [02:21] cylence: sudo /etc/init.d/ restart [02:21] kelsin: I am running it as Sudo now, have tried it non root and as root [02:21] !install | Ose [02:21] Ose: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:21] which firefox gives me /usr/bin/firefox [02:22] Joshooa: and you dont have a .mozilla directory in your home folder? [02:22] alphaiceman: by default nothing is there, it uses defaults, try adding on ly those lines, if that doesn't work obviously remove them to get back to normal [02:22] brennanos: No I have .mozilla [02:22] jdw: thank you!!! geesh lol [02:22] ok [02:22] Joshooa: but no plugins folder? [02:22] brennanos: Then firefox in that [02:22] brennanos: No, no plugins [02:22] thanks [02:22] cylence: no prob [02:22] paynegod: most likely you need the generic if you're running the generic kernel which most likely you are [02:22] make a plugins folder [02:22] jdw: is there a way to restart pretty much everything in that way? [02:22] then copy that .so file into it [02:22] brennanos: In firefox, I have pluginreg.dat, but that's the only reference to plugin I can find [02:22] everything = in the init.d dir [02:23] cylence: Not really. I would think rebooting is the quickest way to restart everything. [02:23] brennanos: And I had gnash installed, and about:plugins showed me it was installed, but it wouldn't work, firefox kept telling me to download plugins [02:23] !java [02:23] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

That will kind of do wha you want... [02:24] hi [02:24] anyone here [02:24] Q? PLS? [02:24] !anyone | muuluu [02:24] muuluu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:24] !ask | muuluu [02:24] muuluu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:24] kelsin: what should i do then? i'm desperate to make wlan work :-) [02:25] ok [02:25] thanks [02:25] jdw: not sure about ubuntu, but very good point! [02:25] kelsin: would have ben nice if the headers were pre-packaged in the distro cd [02:25] jdw: thank you, it's been a while since I worked in linux at all ;) so that helped a lot [02:25] cylence: glad to help [02:25] Where else could i try for a valid installation path of firefox? [02:25] paynegod: What you have them take out to put the headers in? [02:26] n00bie: does "dmesg | grep -i eth1" give anything alarming? [02:26] paynegod: most people don't need them on the cd, there's only so much space [02:26] what types of hardwares are compotable with ubuntu? Mine is core to 2 duo 6600 Geforce 7300 gs asus MB? [02:26] anybody know why tools such as nmap, scanrand, paratrace, etc always fail or just don't do anything? i have used them before on a default ubuntu installation, and they worked without me having to tweak anything [02:26] muuluu: you should be fine [02:26] kelsin, I get an error, file doesn't exist can't save file, what do I do? [02:26] swisgard: what are the errors? [02:26] Jack_Sparrow: i dunno.. maybe overburn it at the end of the cd maybe?? ;-) [02:27] but any type of linux has freezing problem [02:27] alphaiceman: what do you mean? what exactly are you doing when getting that error? [02:27] kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d3b98bc2b [02:27] jdw: with paratrace and scanrand they just sit there and never do anything. and nmap usually gives a "connection reset by peer" flood of messages and then says that all ports are open [02:27] muuluu: what? [02:27] paynegod: IT is a subject for offtopic.. not the help room === u^A is now known as u^A_ [02:27] i asked here and google can't find the reason? [02:27] paynegod: most of people don't need them [02:28] Mudkipz: are you saying you have ubuntu install and are getting freezes a lot? [02:28] !hardware | muuluu [02:28] muuluu: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:28] all the linux has freezing problem on my machine like ubuntu mandriva suse fedora [02:28] swisgard: OK, dunno about paratrace and scanrand, but the nmap thing sounds like a network issue. Are you nmapping a server that may have a firewall on it? [02:28] well I do a sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf then I copy and paste those three lines to enable compsite and perform a save [02:28] uhh if i delete something on a mounted nfs drive were does that go lol [02:28] jdw: yes. but i've been able to nmap the same stuff before. [02:28] ch8ind: deleted it with the gnome file manager? [02:28] swisgard: have you tried the -p0 option with nmap? [02:28] jdw: and paratrace is for that purpose, mapping firewalls. [02:28] jdw: yes [02:29] i selected it and sent it to the trash [02:29] its not in the trash can [02:29] but I get an error saying that the file doen't exist and that I can't save it [02:29] alphaiceman: that is a bad command to use.. it can really mess up your permissions... use gksudo gedit ... gksudo for all gui apps [02:29] Does it matter where I run the installer from? [02:29] jdw: i am behind a router, but i don't see why that would be holding it up. also tor and privoxy don't work. [02:29] is there anyone can say what the problem is? [02:29] alphaiceman: yeah try what Jack_Sparrow says and use gksudo [02:29] alphaiceman: and note X11 not x11 [02:29] what's a good keylogger program? [02:29] yes thanks guys [02:29] np [02:30] or the hardware to recoomend? [02:30] sorry recommend [02:30] n00bie: can you pastebin "lsmod" [02:30] hnm noone answer again!!! [02:30] swisgard: Hmmm...well, I guess the logical thing to do next would be to bypass the router and try these tools. That would at least eliminate the router as a problem. Seems to me it must be something on your end, though, if you can't use these tools on any remote host [02:30] Joshooa: have you tried just manually copying the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins? [02:31] Joshooa: just create the plugins directory yourself [02:31] No Ij ust got it [02:31] woot found it [02:31] i was scared for a moment [02:31] muuluu: have you tried disabling acpi with any of these distros? [02:31] :D [02:31] brennanos: I exited and did it again, and this time it just said, "Do you want to install it here?" and I said yes, and it did it [02:31] kelsin: http://pastebin.com/d2251de95 [02:31] jdw: another possibility perhaps is that i'm just using an internal wireless antenna, rather than a wired connection like i used to have. i know this obviously makes a difference for sniffing (no wire to sniff from) but for these kinds of tools should not make a difference should it? [02:31] muuluu: I showed you the link for supported hardware... Did you read it? [02:31] yes i tried that [02:32] People..goodnight, I am too tired to continue... play nice.. [02:32] ok i'll red it [02:32] brennanos: I wonder wtf happened, I've been trying to get flash going for days [02:32] n00bie: try a "sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200" [02:32] thansk jack [02:32] brennanos: Anyway it works now! On to youtube! [02:32] swisgard: It won't for nmap (not sure about the other tools). I use it on wireless all the time. [02:32] goodnight [02:32] n00bie: and then the "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" again [02:32] Joshooa: excellent [02:32] brennanos: And now there is a plugins directory [02:33] kelsin: eth1 No scan results [02:34] n00bie: try "sudo iwconfig eth1 txpower on" [02:34] n00bie: then that list command again [02:34] help!

[02:59] is there any full featured video editor for linux ubuntu ? [02:59] n00bie: some people say their bios's have an option to turn off the wireless on/off switch, I would try doing that as well, so that you CAN'T turn it off etc [02:59] any time i don't really know any application anytine [02:59] kelsin: it's a shortcut button (intended for windows i guess) [03:00] I need a little help.

[03:00] but not long very soon about max time 15 min [03:00] kelsin: it's an aopen tundra 1557e [03:00] n00bie: I would def check in the bios and see if you can turn the wireless switch off [03:00] would I install 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu for Intel Core Duo (iMac)? === Ttech2 is now known as The [03:01] whyameye_: I always recommend installing 32bit no matter what === The is now known as The_Doctor_ [03:01] whyameye_, Do 32. You can do both but 64 has compatability issues. [03:01] whyameye_: just imo 64bit is more trouble then worth for desktop use [03:01] kelsin: ok, i will try that [03:01] kelsin: thank you for now [03:01] but there is on google most of the problem bug is with 64? [03:01] n00bie: but that is your issue, obviously solving it is not trivial, but your wireless card thinks it's off somehow :-( [03:01] kelsin: but it will run 64, huh? I've installed 64 on other machines with the ia32 libs and if I have trouble I just install the 32 bit apps and am fine. [03:02] whyameye_: honestly I don't know :) sorry [03:02] Menisk: 64 has compatibility isssues with core duo or Imac specifically or just in general has compat issues? [03:02] whyameye_, Don't use 64bit unless you have a good reason. For everydays stuff there is no beneifit and it has compat issues. [03:03] whyameye_, It has issues because more dev focus is on 32 as it s used more. [03:03] whyameye_, 64 will become better when more people use it. [03:03] come on there must be a video edition lover at here. dont disappoint me ! [03:04] but I am confirming core duo is a 64 bit processor? That's the part I didn't know... [03:04] whyameye_, Core 2 duo is 64bit. [03:04] hnm when i talk about freezing thing everyone run away from me??? [03:05] please videoLover tell me a full featured video editor for my ubuntu! im gettin crazy [03:06] anyone recommend me a good text-based CD ripping software that I can use with my Ubuntu 7.10 server edition? Thanks! [03:06] there is bound to be one [03:06] how determine my x version [03:06] freezing problem anyone can help? [03:06] muuluu, We can't help when you're not specific about it. [03:06] cristhian: cinelerra is the only one I've ever heard of [03:06] ;( [03:06] mzracer360: cdrdao [03:07] mzracer360: sorry I misread. I don't know about ripping. [03:07] Anyone here using a Logitech Access keyboard? [03:07] muuluu: you have an EXTREMELY generic issue. without more info we've said everything we can, check the ram, check the power supply,, check your graphics card, try acpi etc [03:07] thnx at least i have an idea now [03:07] can't isntall it on my HP Pavillion laptop [03:07] Well i'll start everything with hardware [03:08] does that really work on hp laptops? [03:08] i use a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse [03:08] How can I edit the default programs that are associated with .mp3 opening? [03:08] Hi Guys, I'm trying to customize my own kernel. I was wondering if the info about a setting is not enough about what it does, where can I find out what it does? [03:08] BB88: right click on an mp3 and goto propertire and then the openwith tab [03:08] Kayce - Does your keyboard have Vol +/- keys? [03:08] does mdadm have any settings that can be tweaked or something [03:08] thejinx0r: the source unfortunately, or just googling it [03:08] yes, need setpoint for them to work [03:08] kelsin: Thank you. [03:09] in which Logitech doesnt suport Linux [03:09] kayce - Setpoint, is that a program? [03:09] with setpoint at least [03:09] mdadm is installed, but it will not recognize my raid stripe setup [03:09] for wireless as far as i know, yes [03:09] kelsin: oh well, google hasn't been too friendly with me in the past couple days with kernel customization. Thanks anyways. Maybe I'll hit break with google soon enough :) [03:10] thejinx0r: yeah there really isn't a one stop shop for random kernel config settings unfortunately [03:10] wired may have its own program, but Logitech still doesnt support Linux, unfortunatly [03:10] thejinx0r: (afaik, that I've found) [03:11] kayce - Well mine isn't wireless, but the volume buttons work very oddly. Regardless of the current volume level, Volume Down mutes, and volume up unmutes but leaves the volume at 0%, regardless of how many times I press it. [03:11] c0mp13371331337_: did you try System -> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortcuts and reassigning the keys to volume up and volume down again? [03:12] anyone else know of a good text-based CD ripping software that I can use with my Ubuntu 7.10 server edition? [03:12] Anybody know if Wine Emulator will allow Visual Basic 6.0 to run? [03:12] mzracer360: I think abcde is good, I havn't used it though [03:12] kelsin - oh yes, been all through the keyboard shortcuts, keymaps, etc. It all points keys correctly, but doesn't seem to work. [03:12] BB88: Wine is not an emulator! (Sorry I actually don't have any useful info about your question, probably should check the wine appdb) [03:13] hm.. [03:13] what is a light good app to open .rar files? [03:13] abdulla: if you install the rar package then the gnome file-roller app can open them like tar.gz and zipfiles [03:13] kelsin: The title in the depositories is quite misleading 'Wine Windows Emulator', but thank you nonetheless. [03:14] where is rar package ? in add/remove or synaptic kelsin [03:14] BB88: yeah I know :-( even though the title contradicts that title :-( [03:14] How can I tell which package is providing a file? [03:14] i wan't to study Gimp so i open the home page of gimp.org [03:14] abdulla: search synaptic for rar, I just normally install the rar and unrar-free packages [03:15] wy: Install the apt-file package and run apt-file search [03:15] thanks kelsin [03:15] i have custom built Machine with GPU: Geforce 7300GS CPU: Core to duo 6600 MB: Asus P5ND2 SE first Mouse freezing, i tried UBS Legacy off on Bios settings Desktop freeze, tried ACPI=off Desktop freeze with any applications running random time changed graphinc drivers from Nvidia site, Ad or Remove Synaptic package MGR, With all types of Linux(Suse Fedora Ubuntu Mandriva) ?

[03:22] Rodietze: Get the ALTERNATE cd [03:23] guys.. I only was reading along while getting my mail... good luck [03:23] Jack_Sparrow oh I got it, I thought I could use the regular cd just typeing some command...

[03:27] wy: I think that's a known issue, a lot of people are PISSED about those drives [03:27] wy: google a bit, I think you'll find stuff pretty quickly [03:27] kelsin: Thanks [03:27] jBOD? let me see [03:27] Rodietze? [03:28] Anybody here know which package contains the C C++ libraries in Gusty?? [03:28] kshl_m: just install "build-essential" [03:28] man It is unaceptable why do we need to CDS just to have an OS installed [03:28] no, i dont think there is [03:28] that's ridiculous [03:28] kshl_m: comes with all the base stuff needed for compiling [03:28] use synaptic to search [03:28] kshl_m, g++ [03:28] im on the live cd atm [03:28] libstdc & libstdc++ [03:28] kelsin: 10x [03:29] Rodietze?

JBOD is 'Just a Bunch Of Disks" which is one way to logically put a bunch of disks together. Google for setting up a RAID - there's at least one tutorial out there that I know of [03:29] and libstdc++6-4.1-dev [03:29] kelsin: yes siry bob [03:29] n00bie: sweet, enjoy your wireless internet freedom [03:29] MY DESKTOP http://img28.picoodle.com/img/img28/5/12/13/alsheeba/f_mydesktopm_582c78c.png please rate :P [03:29] also 4.2, dunno why that's not default [03:29] kelsin: i will, tnx again [03:29] (stability?)

[03:30] Ose: probably not, it tells you in detail what it's doing [03:30] that is weird first time in 1 thousand that it isn't working.... in my brand new laptop [03:30] Ose: if you drop down the detail tree enough [03:30] with gparted your best bet is just to be patient [03:30] i only have 2 250gb hard drives thow, and i though jBOD needs 4 or more? not sure [03:30] Rodietze: yes. [03:30] Kelsin: OH! Didn't see it went further.. Thanks. I'll check it out. [03:31] hehe even doesn't work with desktop [03:31] crimsun man how did you do when the Installation fails coz the X server? [03:31] Ose: wouldn't advice stopping it, but you can see exactly what command it's running, pretty neat [03:31] Kelsin: Ahh, it's moving the file system over.. That would be why it's taking a long time then. And yes, it is really neat. Thanks. [03:31] muuluu heh yeah man try debian [03:31] does anyone know how do i find my pc's port [03:31] it installs at least[ [03:31] hehe lol] [03:32] but has the some WEIRD problems like not being able to recognize the CD ROM drive nor the screen too [03:32] most of the destro's i tried none of them works [03:32] Rodietze: it doesn't fail here. My model (DV6205US) has an i945GM. [03:32] but freezing same [03:33] does anyone know how do i find my pc's port?? [03:34] Jude: what do you mean by port? [03:34] how to check and fix if i have HDD error [03:35] is there a repository with envy? [03:35] Hi guys, i am having a little problem with Compiz on ubuntu 7.10 "gusty". === jopie is now known as bernardt [03:35] kelsin, like the pop mail port is 110, how do i find mine?? [03:35] ? [03:35] Jude nmap [03:36] Jude I think you want nmap, just google for it or apt-get install nmap [03:36] Rodietze, what is nmap?? [03:36] how to check and fix if i have HDD error [03:36] Jude: do you mean find which ports are open on your computer? [03:36] jude: do you mean ip, or port? [03:36] Hi guys, could you please help me? I am having a little problem with Compiz Fusion on Ubuntu 7.10 "Gusty". [03:37] kelsin: Got a workaround to disable to power management. [03:37] Jude: "computers" don't have ports, each type of programs have ports, you can connect to your computer (via your ip) on any port you want, you need to be running a server on a certain port for it to work though [03:37] kelsin, yes [03:37] theelbermungster - Don't ask to ask.... just ask! :-) [03:37] I just bought a new keyboard with media buttons. The play, next, prev, buttons work but volume controls and mute bring up a volume thing on the screen but have no effect. What should I look at to fix that? [03:37] Jude: yeah the nmap program is a program that finds open ports (like Rodietze said) [03:37] speeves, port [03:37] kelsin: But now it can't show up in the file browser once I unplugged it. [03:37] yo kelsin ... i'm not getting mpd + sonata working.. sonata connects to the mpd but i don't see any files.. i've thrown in some tracks to the directory in the mpd.conf though.. =/ [03:37] hey. [03:38] zarac: there is a comand to make mpd create the db, I don't remember it offhand [03:38] zarac: "man mpd" will probably find it [03:38] does the desktop edition have all the software available to install, as the server edition? [03:38] beerfan - I was discussing a similar issue not too long ago. For me, volume-down mutes and volume up unmutes, but leaves the volume at 0%. Are you getting the same thing? [03:38] jude: kelsin has a good explanation [03:38] kelsin, i have rythmweb installed so i need the port to connect to it using a browser [03:38] limpc: yes [03:38] zarac: once created sonata has a right click menu to update the library when you add new files [03:38] kelsin: I get a package not found when I try to install Build_install [03:38] every time I turn Compiz on the window border suddenly dissapears, and I am forced to use Emerald. [03:38] can anyone help a newbie real quick, whats the CLI command to add a respitory to the list? [03:38] jude: is rhythmweb running? [03:38] Jude: you'd have to look in the rythmweb help [03:38] how to check and fix if i have HDD error [03:38] speeves, yes [03:38] Jude: or google for it, most of us don't have every standard port memorized, just the common ones [03:38] Jude: ports has to do with the application layer, where any high level connection in a network has a port. a machine has just an ip assigned to it, and to this ip connections can be made with many ports [03:38] svladcjelli: - hmm, why are there 2 versions of ubuntu then? [03:38] c0mp13371331337_: I don't believe so. The on screen volume indicator moves but there's no change. Same with mute. [03:39] Jude: if so, netstat -anp should show you [03:39] kelsin, it gives an example [03:39] kelsin, .. i don't find this update =/ [03:39] Hi guys. How do I reinstall grub? [03:39] theelbermungster - Are you using Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, or Xubuntu? [03:39] jude: sudo netstat -anp [03:39] Can anyone help me with loading universe and multiverse repositories. [03:39] last time i used mpd i didn't have to update any database .. =/ [03:39] limpc: for package selections among other things, it is well explained on web site === kshl_m is now known as kinGk0nG [03:39] how to check and fix if i have HDD error [03:39] svladcjelli: - not really [03:39] Ubuntu 7.10 "gusty" to be exact. [03:39] I'm kind of new to Ubuntu. What method should I use to back up to my external HD? [03:39] speeves, i ran it without sudo [03:39] tehm0nk: System > Administration > Software sources [03:40] How to change usplash theme??? Anybody know [03:40] svladcjelli: it just says "more info" for the server and desktop editions which gives a generic go-over.. but doesnt say explicitly what the difference is or provide any sort of comparsion chart [03:40] jude: sudo should show which processes are using which port [03:40] beerfan - That SOUNDS like an easy fix. Right-click the audio applet in the panel, click Preferences, and try all of them til you find the one that the volume buttons work with. [03:40] limpc: they are the same, one has a gui one does not, to put it simply [03:40] speeves, yea i got the ports listed [03:40] zarac: it's RIGHT in the mpd man page, "mpd --create-db" [03:40] c0mp13371331337_: yeah, that's the first thing I tried [03:40] svladcjelli: hmm okay. thanks [03:40] beerfan what do i do int here? [03:40] Can anyone help me out with loading a chat site java applet on Ubuntu Firefox? [03:41] How do I reinstall grub? When I get into the grub shell, and type "root (hd0, 0)" I get "error 21; selected disk does not exist" [03:41] hi guys [03:41] tehm0nk: check the sources you want. It will have you reload the repo cache [03:41] i'm trying a walkthrough on raid0 but it just says "tart up the Gutsy Gibbon or Feisty Fawn Live CD, open Synaptic and add the universe and multiverse repositories." [03:41] beerfan - Oh darn, like I said, SOUNDS like an easy fix. Well sorry, can't help ya then. Best of luck though! [03:41] rixth: does "root (hd" generate anything? [03:41] is there any reason i shouldnt get the 64 bit version? [03:41] I have a dual-core AMD64. [03:42] kelsin: nope [03:42] no [03:42] ive heard horror stories about having to recompile stuff to work with 64 bit.. [03:42] limpc: lots of reasons [03:42] low compatability wth some programs [03:42] u can get 64 [03:42] I'm using the live CD, and I'm chrooted into the install [03:42] Wait, that's probably the issue. Duh. [03:42] 64bit edition works fine [03:42] Does anyone have a preferred method of backing up their Ubuntu computer? [03:42] limpc: depends, if you do a lot of multi-media stuff, though it is getting much better [03:42] rixth: did you run grub as root too? [03:42] limpc: Do you crunch numbers (SETI, F@H)? [03:42] kelsin: yes sudo grub [03:42] you can do anything on 64 you can on 32, and ubuntu makes it easy [03:42] i write software.. do realtime video encoding [03:42] theelbermungster - There should be an option to use Ubuntu's default window manager, Metacity, rather than switching to emerald. Hold on, I'll see if I can find it. (I don't use Compiz at all cause it doesn't work on my 3200x1200 monitor setup) [03:43] Yes, go for it. [03:43] almost* anything [03:43] hmm okay.. [03:43] you can run any 32bit app [03:43] so anything [03:43] 32bit is generaly supported more then 64bit [03:43] limpc: video encoding, I would recommend 32bit for now [03:43] kayce: I can't agree with you. [03:43] uh do any of you run 64bit? :) [03:43] limpc: until microsoft starts to support 64-bit codecs better [03:43] kayce: You can run 32bit apps in a 63bit environment. [03:43] i have been for years [03:43] ive run into a couple programs i couldent get to work on 64bit [03:43] Can anyone help me out with loading a chat site java applet on Ubuntu Firefox? [03:43] is there any performance degradation when running 32 bit on 64? I'm assuming some emulation would be going on [03:44] svladcjelli: not anymore, I need to run a 32-bit vpn client from nortel :P [03:44] My only judge is by how many people come in here asking for help with for 64bit... I don't see the benfit on a desktop machine [03:44] kelsin, i've done that though.. it doesn't help =/ [03:44] limpc: no [03:44] hum. okies. thanks [03:44] beerfan: thanks dude [03:44] how to check and fix if i have HDD error [03:44] Hello, anyone know a good irc channel to ask some questions about asp.net programming? [03:44] speeves, i got the rythmbox port but when i point it in the browser i don't get it. it shows me "Unable to connect". i have the webcontrol running [03:44] tehm0nk: yw [03:44] i actually got a reply in here lol [03:44] zarac: that's really odd, don't know what to tell you, I could double chech about the chroot of course [03:45] jude: what port is it? [03:45] the benefit comes when you are positive you need a ton of ram, mostly. [03:45] i'm so lost with this stuff lol [03:45] speeves, 5389 [03:45] first time with ubuntu [03:45] if anyone has a broadcom wireless card and would like to give me a hand setting it up for Feisty please contact me on AIM at Jeenyus1134 Thanks much :) [03:45] Jude: what are you typing into the browser? [03:45] if the benefit outweighs the pain then go for it, else no [03:45] jude: what is your url in the browser? [03:45] kelsin: :P [03:45] tehm0nk - my first time too [03:45] how to check and fix if i have HDD error? [03:45] tehm0nk: just hang around, it'll come [03:45] even xp64 is a major pain. [03:45] kelsin, speeves, http://you-rb-host:5389/ [03:45] (windows) [03:45] Has anyone had experience moving from Gnome to XFCE desktop? Im interested in copying my startmenu over ? [03:45] jude: telnet localhost 5389 [03:45] even? only windows64 is a pain :L [03:46] jude: what does it say? [03:46] muuluu: - chkfs [03:46] Jude: try "127.0.0.1:5389" [03:46] windows* is a pain [03:46] >_> [03:46] ok that's not what i meant to say. [03:46] stop thanks [03:46] ubuntuisloved: Yes I have. [03:46] :| [03:46] limpc: thanks [03:46] how can i stop doing a apt-get if i've already closed the terminal? [03:46] Java works fine under Opera (Slow, of course) but nothing is displayed for Firefox or Epiphany. [03:46] Odd-rationale: what did you use to copy the info over so i dont have to hand build the menu items [03:46] muuluu: wait i think thats wrong [03:46] xLE: if you didn't run it in screen it should be stopped [03:46] sorry its fsck [03:46] xLE: ps -ef | grep apt; kill [03:47] ubuntuisloved: Configuring your menu in xfce (xubuntu) menus is a bit different than gnome's [03:47] !fsck [03:47] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [03:47] righto [03:47] kelsin, speeves, both the suggestions show "Unable to connect" [03:47] Jude: then you don't have the web panel running on port 5389 [03:47] ok [03:47] kelsin, it [03:47] jude: netstat -an | grep 5389 [03:47] Odd-rationale: is there a way to convert my items from gnome to xfce for the start menu? [03:47] is [03:47] Java isn't working, it works fine under Opera (Slow, of course) but nothing is displayed for Firefox or Epiphany. [03:48] ubuntuisloved: You don't have a separate Places and System menu. Inother words, System is a submenu of applictions. [03:48] ubuntuisloved: do you plan to install xubuntu? [03:48] Jude: it's not :) either you have the wrong port, or it's not running on your computer, or there was an error or something, but unable to connect means that there isn't anything on that port [03:48] thanks [03:48] no i had ubuntu and wanted to experience the xfce as its lighter on mem [03:48] ubuntuisloved: Or do you want xfce on top of your ubuntu installation? [03:48] speeves, it gives me nothing [03:48] jude: kelsin is right [03:49] Odd-rationale: Ive already installed xfce on top of ubuntu im in it now [03:49] kelsin, it shows that it is rythmbox running on that port [03:49] Jude: what does? [03:49] Odd-rationale: I need to get my menu items over from gnome menu [03:49] kelsin, netstat -anp [03:49] Jude: try disabling daap in rhythmbox [03:50] ubuntuisloved: I'm afraid your menus will have to edited pretty much by hand. How is your xfce menu now? Is it OK? [03:50] beerfan, ok , hold [03:50] Odd-rationale: just empty right now ive got a ton of programs to put on it [03:50] Is there a better was to edit the menus a faster way, to edit and move items a different app or bring back the "applications://"/ [03:51] beerfan, does not help [03:51] hi [03:51] Hi I just put a hard drive in my server from my older server, the data on it is in a format called LVM2 MEMBER, because my old server was LVM, I just need to get the data off it for my new server? how do I go about this? [03:51] Java isn't working, it works fine under Opera (Slow, of course) but nothing is displayed for Firefox or Epiphany. [03:51] whats the pros and cons of having a ubuntu usb thumb drive [03:51] ubuntuisloved: Oh, I see. Do you have a ~./config/xfce4/desktop/menu file ( i think that is the correct path)? [03:51] Jude: I think I thought you were trying to do something you aren't. I'm not sure what you are attempting. [03:51] unikon: sticking things into computers is tiring [03:51] how to make windows appear when i go to a desktop edge with compiz config please [03:52] unikon: pros faster, cons computer may not be able to handle booting from it [03:52] theelbermungster - Okay, not 100% on this one, but open the gconf Configuration Editor, go to apps > compiz > plugins > decoration > allscreens > options and change the value of the key named 'command' to 'metacity'. May need to restart compiz, not sure. [03:52] What filesystem do i use for Linux? ext2? [03:52] ext3 [03:52] ok [03:52] beerfan, i am trying to access webcontrol through firefox [03:52] and what kind of partitions should i do for the partitions [03:52] How do I reinstall the default ubuntu sounds? I installed (and then uninstalled) ubuntu studio it took the sounds with it. :( [03:52] if i could get someone to help me out with my partition setup that would be greatly appreciated [03:52] beerfan, its a web app to control rythmbox [03:53] tehm0nk, sure [03:53] tehm0nk: what do you want to accomplish? [03:53] tehm0nk, whats your hd size? [03:53] ubuntuisloved: Find it? [03:53] never [03:53] Jude: I see. I'm not familiar with that. [03:53] Ttech: 240 gigs sata raid0 [03:53] tehm0nk - Piece of advice: put your /home folder on a separate partition. Makes reinstalling MUCH easier; all program settings and files are saved, you just need to reinstall the OS on the / partition. [03:53] Ttech: just got the raid0 recognized [03:53] Odd-rationale: looking now sorry [03:53] hmm [03:54] c0mp13371331337_ , how do I open gconf? [03:54] What can I do if I have two conflicting libGL installed? libgl1-mesa-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx both have libGL, and they are referred by libglut.so. So I got flickering display. [03:54] Ttech: there is 2 existing partitions that i care about. [03:54] I got a graph [03:54] Hmm [03:54] tehm0nk: c0mp1337 is right - that's one of the smartest ways to go [03:54] That could be a bit difficult [03:54] Is your raid config done in your mobo setup? [03:54] theelbermungster - at a terminal: gconf-editor (Alternatively, use the Run box) [03:54] katakaio: Is there a way to help people who were stupid (I wasnj't thinlking I didn't do my usual manual setup for partitons)? [03:55] c0mp13371331337_: i haven't a CLUE how to go about that [03:55] i found what i need thanks [03:55] tehm0nk - You're not doing anything crazy like installing linux around an existing Windoze partition, are you? [03:55] tehm0nk, The Doctor: you should download a live CD called gparted [03:55] right now my partitions are: 1. 2.5gb vista swap file - 2. vista - rest WAS storage but i backed that up... [03:55] yes comp i'm trying lol [03:55] katakaio, ok, that sounds good. :) [03:55] ubuntuisloved: Here's a script i used. It might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620215 [03:56] tehm0nk - ohnoez! [03:56] LoL [03:56] It's the best partitioning software that I've tried [03:56] katakaio: yes [03:56] katakaio: isn't it the same as what's on the ubuntu live cd? [03:56] You can set up partitions on a clean install of Ubuntu, but it's smart to have gparted on hand [03:56] cool thanks [03:57] beerfan: You're right, but I've had the ubuntu partitioner screw things up for me before [03:57] katakaio - Doesn't the live CD come with gparted? [03:57] i'm sorta in the ubuntu live cd :-/ [03:57] and yes it does [03:57] OK, then roll with that [03:57] NVM, didn't see beerfan's post! [03:57] that is how i was going to mess with the parts [03:57] If things go south, use the gparted CD [03:57] katakaio, so.. hmm [03:57] i have another box with net so i'm not completely messed up [03:57] lol [03:57] c0mp13371331337_ , there's nothing inside the "options" folder [03:57] OK, perfect [03:58] If my computer is set to Sleep after x minutes, will it still honor my "when battery is critically low" setting? Or is it not aware of that while asleep? [03:58] Hello all, having issue with nvidia binaries [03:58] i just dont know how i'm going to get the partitions setup correctly [03:58] i wanted to put in a linux swap partition [03:58] Ideally, you would have (for Ubuntu) a swap partition, a home partition, and a root partition [03:58] Followed the directions as per http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/hardware/C/video.html#nvidia, but Xorg.0.log is giving me an "Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module!" error [03:58] How can I fix this? [03:58] ok that works for me... [03:58] Java isn't working, it works fine under Opera (Slow, of course) but nothing is displayed for Firefox or Epiphany. [03:59] It's nice because you can do clean OS installs without losing your data [03:59] Evening all [03:59] ok [03:59] sup xTheGoat121x [03:59] so can i put all 3 of those partitions ... AFTER the vista partition? [03:59] tehm0nk: are you in the Ubuntu setup now? [04:00] or is that screwy? [04:00] theelbermungster - Oh... wow.... huh. Well that was unexpected. Try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:00] tehm0nk, just fine [04:00] I use the restricted nvidia drivers. How do I get video out via VGA from my notebook? [04:00] If by "after" you mean at the end of the disk, then yes [04:00] Nighthawk420, not too much, how's it goin [04:00] not in the setup but i'm trying to get to there [04:00] rush [04:00] i was gonna set the partitions then install [04:00] Phurion: you may need to install the firefox java plugin j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin [04:00] tipsy... ya xTheGoat121x ? [04:00] katakaio, can that be used for 2 250gb hdd's while in ubuntu setup from the live cd? [04:00] rixth, for my laptop and others ive seen you need to enable twinview. to use both displays, OR you may try whatever keys on your laptop 'switch' the video outputs. [04:00] nautilus [04:01] Nighthawk420, I wish I were. [04:01] tehm0nk, that's a good way to do it. Get it done beforehand. [04:01] yeah, i already have ccsm installed [04:01] beerfan: I'll try that and get back to you. [04:01] kayce: if the two hard drives are set up in the bios/motherboard for raid, then yes === billenium is now known as BilleniumZzZ [04:01] Dr_willis, I leave me desk frequently though, TwinView requires X restarts? Fn+F8 does not work =( [04:01] Ubuntu will see them as a single hard drive [04:01] ok, thank you [04:01] np [04:01] Ubuntu is smart like that [04:01] lol [04:02] rixth, it all depends on what you want to do exactly. What does leaving your desk have to do with anything? You confiogure twinview, and its enabled when X starts up. [04:02] beerfan: Do you know exactly how I can go by installing this plugin? [04:02] i had to go through hell to make it see my raid setup lol [04:02] how do i compile a c++ file? [04:02] took me a few hours now cause i'm a boon. [04:02] is there anything else i would need to add for partitions? [04:02] search for "firefox" in the add/remove programs window [04:02] Phurion: ^ and scroll down to the java plugin [04:02] kayce: the Ubuntu install CD can partition, but the best IMHO is gparted [04:02] hello, does anybody here know if it's possible to write enside of a textbox in a w3m console borwser ? [04:02] beerfan: I'm fairly certain I've installed the plugin once or twice before, with no luck. [04:02] ok [04:03] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:03] Ubuntu Restricted Extras is a new way of getting common "restricted" codecs, etc. See !RestrictedFormats [04:03] gparted is a live CD, which is the safest way to go [04:03] katakaio: what kind of sizes do i need to make the partitions? [04:03] Dr_willis, basically, it there a way to detect if an external monitor is plugged in? I start X, and it's on the laptop screen. I connect external screen, it switches to that (no X restart required). Disconnect external screen, X switches back to laptop screen [04:03] Guys, opinions on tehm0nk's partition sizes? [04:03] I would go 1GB swap, 6 GB root, rest as home [04:03] same for me please? [04:04] how much for home will i really need? [04:04] tehm0nk: I wouldn't go higher than 15 or 20gb for root. home can be the rest [04:04] 2 250gb hard drives [04:04] Home is for all of your non-system files [04:04] i have 100 gigs and i'd like to have a backup area for vista still haha [04:04] katakaio - I tend to be a little more liberal with my root partition (but then again, I'm the type that installs a bunch of programs to see what's out there. [04:04] how do i make an initrd image [04:04] how do I compile a c++ file? [04:04] c0mp1337: I hear ya [04:04] I've currently got a 20gb root, about 10gb free. [04:04] I own a laptop, so I'm stingier [04:04] c0mp13371331337_ , but i already have ccsm installed [04:05] beerfan: Do you know what the java application is I'm to install, there are so many. [04:05] c0mp13371331337_: yeah, I've never hit 10GB on / [04:05] linux swap is a primary ? [04:05] rixth, enable clone and see if it works that way. Normally the monitor needs to be plugged in when the pc boots up or ive seen that the nvidia card ignores it. [04:05] theelbermungster - Okay, try setting in in there. Window decoration is the place to be, and type metacity in the Command field. [04:05] tehm0nk: I'd put linux swap in extended [04:06] katakaio: any advice on partition sizes for my hard drives? [04:06] how do I compile a c++ file? [04:06] Dr_willis, a simple clone is not good though, cause laptop screen is 1440x900, external is 1920x1200 [04:06] Phurion: if java works in Opera then you already have a JVM installed [04:06] kayce: did you say you had two separate hard drives, or were you RAIDing them together? [04:06] got it [04:07] rixth, sounds like you got some tweaking and thinking about how you want to do things to do. [04:07] i have 2 seperate hard drives at this time, i want to raid them togeather tho [04:07] xLE: one that you wrote or a package you want to install? [04:07] Dr_willis, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#Connecting_a_second_monitor_after_X_startup looks promising [04:07] beerfan: That's what I thought, but I don't understand why it will not work. [04:07] rixth, may want to check the forums and google for your specific laptop and linux. see if thers a way to get the hotkeys working. [04:07] kayce: can you raid them on your motherboard (i.e. in your BIOS) ? [04:07] p_quarles, one i wrote. [04:07] yes, no problem at all [04:07] I accidentally put Tremulous in Windowed mode.. How do I put it back? [04:07] rixth, i normally have a tv as my 2nd monitor. So what i do is a bit different from your needs. [04:08] kayce: do they have data/operating systems on them currently? [04:08] install sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin [04:08] A8N-SLI Premium mobo [04:08] and no [04:08] rixth, i DO think the nividia-settngs tool enabled the 2nd monitor on the fly for me once. :) [04:08] Phurion: ^ [04:08] they do not [04:08] do I need to restart compiz, c0mp13371331337 ? [04:08] im on the live cd at the time [04:08] kayce: good and good :-D [04:08] xLE: Gotcha. Not a programmer, so I could help you more with the other. I believe that a no. of IDEs come with this function -- geany for instance. [04:08] argh ok i'm confused with the type of partitions to be making now... [04:08] :D [04:08] primary/extended...etc [04:08] theelbermungster, I would, just to be safe. [04:09] kayce: I would raid them in the mobo setup and then install ubuntu [04:09] tehm0nk: extended is just a partition container [04:09] there is a limit on how many primary partitions you can have [04:09] anyone know how to compile a c++ file manually?(or give me an example) [04:09] ok [04:09] Dr_willis, WOOOOP. nvidia-settings works perfectly, not automated but good enough! [04:09] i will be right back [04:09] what's the command for restart compiz? [04:09] ubuntu should see your raid setup as a single, ordinary drive [04:09] can the partitions all be incased in an extended? [04:09] good luck kayce [04:10] I accidentally put Tremulous in Windowed mode.. How do I put it back to full screen? [04:10] and it did last time i had them raided and i was on the live cd [04:10] I have a bit of a problem. Oo font rendering is abysmal. Screenshot: http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/35924/2006280723373385260_rs.jpg [04:10] be right back [04:10] ok [04:10] tehm0nk: you can only have 4 primary partitions, One of those can be an extended partition, then you can make as MANY more as you want in the extended (these are called the Logical partitions) [04:10] theelbermungster, Hrm... pkill compiz [04:10] tehm0nk: bootable system partitions should be primary. home, swap, and such can be in extended or primary at your discretion [04:11] theelbermungster, I believe that's it. [04:11] beerfan: it does not matter. in 2007, you can recover /boot even if it's extended [04:11] theelbermungster, All else fails, restart X. [04:11] tehm0nk: what's nice about a large /home partition, is that you can reinstall and still keep all of your files :) [04:12] kelsin: any wise words for my issue?

[04:22] but I can't imagine a program using 3 GB of virtual memory [04:22] its a VM, like VMware but better [04:22] tehm0nk, OH YEAH [04:23] tehmonk: works just fine with vista for me [04:23] tehm0nk: ubuntu should add vista to the boot list [04:23] kayce, Does VMWare SERver work on Ubntu? [04:23] im not sure [04:23] yes [04:23] Ttech, why not just use qemu?

[04:23] tehm0nk - Ubuntu will be friendly with everything, it's Vista that's the carnivore of the software world. ;-) [04:24] just runs better [04:24] basicly [04:24] smoother [04:24] Ttech and yes vmware can be compiled for ubuntu [04:24] can u convert a vmware instance to VirtualBox ? [04:24] that i dont know [04:24] yep [04:24] i would imagine its posible thow [04:24] kayce, VMWare servwer is free too [04:24] also have u tried out Xen ?

I'm now unable to connect to my wireless network but able to connect to others. Any suggestions? [04:29] drgeb, apting [04:29] Nrbelex: reset your modem? [04:29] beerfan: u still around? [04:29] spyder, it's a school network [04:29] I can see it [04:29] Ttech Vmware VirtualBox like thing [04:29] but cannot connect [04:30] tehm0nk: sorta [04:30] it crashed on me [04:30] well [04:30] just the program did [04:30] on the first operation? [04:30] when it tried to make a logical partition [04:31] I'd try one operation at a time maybe, if you have several queued [04:31] If i am able to detect wireless networks, (but not connect) does this mean the drivers are working correctly? [04:31] but user error [04:31] tehm0nk: or try the suggestion to download the gparted live cd [04:31] i'm trying to figure out if its a driver problem or network configuratinon problem with my wireless [04:32] beerfan: is there an error reporting system like windows has that tells you what could be going wrong when it crashes? [04:32] System > admin > system log [04:32] hard to say which log it will be in [04:32] Is there a Ubuntu way to prevent package upgrades? I have a local version of a package I need to/want to keep over any potential upgrades in the official repos. [04:33] What do I do to force fsck on sda4 from the live ubuntu cd? [04:33] can i paste the error that showed up in terminal? [04:33] mheath: I know there's a way to lock a package at a version. I don't know for sure. Look in synaptic or google [04:33] 3 lines [04:33] actually I can boot to a command line so all I need is the correct command to force fsck [04:34] unable to turn cooling device on? what? i dont have a system fan only a processor fan? [04:34] how do i turn that off? [04:34] !pinning > mheath (read the private message from ubotu) [04:34] fixed it - needed to turn off networing and restart so I could reset my login info...

[04:43] ok thanks a lot [04:44] byonix-> in dapper it worked for me [04:44] jrib, ask Ttech to stop sending me messages, thnks [04:44] TheZealot: you can also add text to the end of a file with COMMAND >> FILE [04:44] wow, lol that was easy! thanks [04:44] bulmer => i failed [04:44] theAtom: I'm not sending you messages [04:44] TheZealot, no prob [04:44] sorry about that http://pastebin.ca/817037 [04:45] I'm confused by the dependencies between the packages [04:45] wy: apt [04:45] wy: what packages [04:45] libgl1-mesa-glx [04:45] if i'm able to detect, (but not connect) to wireless networks does that mean my wireless drivers are working correctly? [04:45] wy: and what is confusing? [04:45] It's providing libGL.so* [04:46] RoDox, Dunno then. [04:46] Dethlok-> do you have a firewall activated on both sides? [04:46] Is there a way to ADD to the txt file instead of overwriting it? [04:46] no [04:46] But after I install ATI's driver, it's not removed [04:46] if i'm able to detect, (but not connect) to wireless networks does that mean my wireless drivers are working correctly? [04:46] Menisk_: its ok, thx for your attention [04:46] Farquad: Probably not. what wireless card are you using? [04:46] rt2500 [04:46] Dethlok-> prefix your responses to me with my nick or i will miss it [04:46] TheZealot: COMMAND >> FILE (as p_quarles mentioned) [04:46] but the file libGL.so.1 and libGL.so.1.2 was overwritten [04:46] linksys wMP54G [04:47] wow, I can't believe i never used that, thanks [04:47] bulmer: sorry, no i never put any firewalls on [04:47] Dethlok-> can you ping either way? [04:47] wy: are you installing ati's driver from a package? [04:47] .ac files, they are associated with autoconfig right? [04:47] jrib: Right. I built the package from ATI's driver package [04:47] why is setting up a wireless network card in linux so fucking hard [04:48] my wireless was easy tosetup on ym laptop [04:48] !language [04:48] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:48] !language |Farquad [04:48] bulmer: i dont even know what that is lol. the computer shows up in the network but when i go into it there is nothing inside [04:48] Farquad: please see above [04:48] stfu [04:48] wy: yes, that is why. You are supposed to stick to packages from the ubuntu repositories. Otherwise of course you can build a broken package [04:48] ok back [04:48] heh [04:48] so [04:49] my previous question [04:49] .ac files are associated with autoreconfig right? [04:49] Dethlok-> ping is the tool we all used to test connectivity [04:49] !ati > wy (read the private message from ubotu) [04:49] jrib: How is the dependencies defined? Are they specified with package names or individual file names they depend one? [04:49] wy: packages [04:50] wy: did you actually build a .deb? [04:50] jrib: Yes. ATI's installer can build the package [04:50] bulmer: ok so i need to ping the other computer to see if it responds? [04:50] Dethlok-> do you know the ip address of each ubuntu you have? type ip a [04:50] wy: probably just makes a dumb package then [04:50] oj [04:50] !packaging > wy (read the private message from ubotu) [04:51] jrib: Is it possible for a package to overwrite files from another? [04:51] how do i edit my /etc/powersave/thermal file? sorry im new to this os [04:51] wy: yes, if it is a dumb package [04:51] dpkg won't be happy about it [04:51] wy: I'm guessing dpkg will complain though [04:52] spyder what's your goal for editing the file? [04:52] bulmer: i have a 1 and a 2, 1 is lo: and 2 is eth0: [04:53] Doh! [04:53] hold on [04:53] emmajane: to turn "cooling policy" to inactive so i quit getting these error messages appearantly its a bug thats been reported [04:53] Dethlok-> do you know the ip address of each ubuntu you have? type ip a read the ip address correctly please [04:53] spyder *nod* I found this: http://powersave.sourceforge.net/powersave/Thermal.html [04:54] Dethlok-> ip addresses are something like 192.168.15.7 [04:54] spyder, I think the first paragraph of 4.2 is relevant to changing the variables? [04:54] bulmer: inet 192.168.15.106/24 brd 192.168.15.255 scope global eth0 [04:55] emmajanea: wow in 5 years ive never been this clueless lol [04:55] hehe [04:55] Dethlok-> you have two, go to one and ping the other end.. [04:55] spyder I don't havve the file, so I'm not 100% sure. But was there anything useful there? [04:55] bulmer: im sorry i dont know how... [04:55] spyder: gksudo gedit /etc/powersave/thermal [04:56] emmajane: in terminal? [04:56] Dethlok-> yay.. ping 192.168.15.106 [04:56] ahhh k [04:56] spyder if it's editable, yup. [04:56] bulmer: lol, ok [04:56] jrib: Maybe I should have sticked to the one provided by Gusty [04:56] svlad, the doc implies it's a binary file, I guess not though? [04:56] wy: that's usually easiest [04:57] jrib: But that one didn't support composite [04:57] in /etc? [04:57] Dethlok-> you need to read up a bit on networking..easy read.. [04:57] jrib: so compiz didn't work. [04:57] did tehmonk get it figured out [04:57] spyder at what level is the reported message by syslog? maybe you can reconfigure syslogd to avoid reporting that temporarily? [04:58] bulmer: yea i know, before it was working automatically and just all of a sudden stopped. it is pinging though [04:58] can i just ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT="no" [04:59] spyder why not? [04:59] spyder try it :) [04:59] In gutsy gibbon, is there a way to keep the Ubuntu and Kubuntu applications seperate based on the current session your using? [04:59] Dethlok-> i dont know about before.... [04:59] could not save unexpected error, file not found...thats unhelpful [05:00] spyder, try "off" instead [05:00] spyder: have a link to the bug [05:00] bulmer: before i was using samba cause my gf comp had windows, and sama was able to connect to the 2 machines with linux, but now it wont [05:00] spyder, when I google "ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT" it looks as though people are also trying "off" [05:00] svladcjelli: link? [05:00] you said there was a bug? [05:00] spyder the page where the bug is reported... [05:01] Dethlok-> well i dont know, am rusty with cfs aka samba stuff.. [05:01] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/63550 [05:01] bulmer: but she's gone now so i would like to network the 2 computers through a linux network instead of samba [05:01] it wont let me save the file? [05:02] I guess I have messed up my installation. Would anybody tell me what files are in your /usr/lib/xorg? [05:02] Dethlok-> ahh you gf left you? hehehe [05:02] bulmer: no other way around, heh [05:02] spyder, what are the permissions on teh file? [05:02] Dethlok-> okay you start the NFS in System->administration->share folders [05:02] spyder, it might be read-only even for root [05:02] emmajane: how do i either find that out or change it? [05:03] does openLDAP same with NIS server?? [05:03] spyder: ls -l /etc/powersave/wherevethefilewas [05:03] spyder: do that in a terminal [05:03] bulmer: ok im in [05:03] spyder, you're looking for "w" [05:03] bulmer: woops ok [05:03] spyder, if it's -r--r--r-- then you need to change the permissions [05:04] hi, i am following the ubuntu directions on how to get dvd working... it says to install libdvdplay0. even though i have universe repository enabled synaptic is not finding the package. can anyone help me?

[05:11] "gksudo gedit /etc.... [05:11] cishpix its the nsswitch config file you have to fool with, and pam with ldappam.so something [05:11] bulmer, so... ldap doesn't like NIS?? [05:12] bulmer: it says only root can do that and when i try to log into root using su it says authentication failure [05:12] hmm... i seem to have already done all the steps from that help page [05:12] spyder, I'm confused. When you edit the file it's there, but when you look for the file it is not? [05:12] you can authenticate against openldap cishpix [05:12] cishpix-> you are getting confused with authentication and the login process [05:12] anything i need to know when adding free space on hd to my ubuntu partition? im dual booting. should it be fine to add 40gb with gparted or do I need to do something else as well? i plan on keeping my windows partition for work. please help [05:12] emmajane: exactly...i did this " powersave -t" and got this message [05:13] i'm new to this, do i need any of the other / 's like ./boot? [05:13] The program 'powersave' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [05:13] sudo apt-get install powersaved [05:13] bash: powersave: command not found [05:13] sorry for noobie questions.. [05:13] spyder: is there a reason you can't just ignore the messages till the new kernel gets released [05:13] john_ I'm just checking to see if I have the file. [05:13] Dethlok-> oh yeah, only root can mount foreign file systems..also the user id must be the same on both ends or..i cant recall what..heh [05:13] bulmer, yes.. I'm really confused about configure it, but the client can't login to the server that to active the ldap server [05:13] i upgraded to fiesty and know i have no sound through my sound card and usb speakers [05:13] imbecile: make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. that's all [05:13] svladcjelli: i think its causing my system to crash and cause ubuntu to become unresponsive [05:13] please? [05:13] p_quarles: thanks man [05:13] this is the web page i am following... note the libdvdplay0... which i can not find... https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html [05:14] Dethlok-> tutorials on nfs is plenty to have in google, just browse for a few [05:14] bulmer: ok thank you [05:14] bulmer: i need to be heading to bed anyways, will be a project for tomorow, thanks again [05:14] actually i can find libdvdplay0... but just not in a repository for easy package install [05:14] I was planning to install both Ubuntu and Kubuntu to see which version I perfer but from what I heard, te application menu would get cluttred with applications from both versions no matter what session you use. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? LIke only show GNOMe apps under Gnome and Kubuntu apps under Kubuntu? [05:14] cishpix-> your server has to authenticate your user using ldap, typically for *nix its using /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow + group so you have to tell the nix now you are using ldap [05:15] Dethlok-> okay..good luck [05:15] Slynderdale: i don't think so short of editing the menus [05:15] john_ does it work with totem, or another player? [05:15] ? [05:15] Quelqu'un en ligne souhaitez chatter en français. J'ai besoin de pratique [05:15] svladcjelli: THats what I feared :/ [05:15] i'll try totem but what i read said totem doesn't work on encrypted dvds [05:15] just a sec... [05:15] Slynderdale, i dont find it a problem. I always install ubuntu and kubuntu, and xubuntu. :) [05:15] Slynderdale: they are just applications you are installing [05:15] bulmer, so... what should I do for it?? where the files should I configure it? [05:16] so they show up like apps [05:16] john_ I can play DVDs but I can't find anything with taht file name on my system (libdvdplay0) [05:16] Slynderdale: you can edit the menus for each separately. if that's too much of a hassle, install one in Virtualbox or dual-boot [05:16] or use a dif user [05:16] kslynderdale [05:16] john_ I admit I've only tried tank girl, but it was a store-bought copy.... [05:16] cishpix-> you have to google for the details..basically its the nsswitch and pam you have to coordinate..i dont remember those like the back of my palm [05:16] and gslynerdale [05:16] :o how do you play .wmv's in ubuntu O_o? [05:17] totem cannot play this type of media (dvd) because it does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read the disc. [05:17] I tried mplayer, and the audio is choppy. [05:17] Hello! I have one question. I set in xorg.cong Hsync and Vsync but wrong dispaly size, and I had odd screen. I corrected display size, and now is OK, but did I damaged monitor? [05:17] john_ hrm. [05:17] cishpix-> btw, people get paid lots doing that conversion.. :) [05:17] what does this mean "The cooling management is controlled by the kernel, powersaved has not much influence on this." [05:17] trying to play star wars episode 1 [05:17] bryan, I use totem for nearly all media [05:17] er... ep 2 [05:17] bulmer, I'd google it but I don't get the good tutorial for it [05:17] john_ i was going to say... definitely not worth it for Ep. 1 ;) [05:17] well, thx for the help emma :) [05:17] emmajane, any idea how to get totem to play .wmv's?

[05:34] itsokie i'm very easily excitable. :) [05:34] wolferine: i use nfs === CaRtMaN_01- is now known as CaRtz [05:34] hmm [05:34] emma, they sure aren't getting good help from me. ;) [05:35] is there any way to upgrade or something of that nature [05:35] oooh... that looks icky lol [05:36] john__ isn't that the one you were using though? [05:36] emmajane: how do i find out what powersave mode is active? [05:36] nope [05:36] i've not seen that page before [05:36] http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libdvdplay0 [05:36] thats what i'm trying to find in the repository to install [05:36] spyder, it's been *years* since I had to actually know something about ACPI... [05:37] hmm... i just notice that is a feisty paackage [05:37] maybe thats the problem [05:37] hello looking for someone to give advice on lintian output [05:37] spyder, powersave is when the screen saver is on though, I think. [05:37] wonder why feisty stuff is in gutsy docs [05:37] emmajane: lol what does acpi stand for? [05:37] how do i create an initial ram disk with kubuntu from the latest kernel sources [05:37] for full removal I would use apt-get remove --purge foo" ? [05:37] DoubleDave, you should ask on #ubuntu-motu about lintian [05:37] anyone here experianced with package building for ubuntu [05:37] !acpi [05:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:37] spyder, advanced power control interface [05:37] thanks nickrud [05:38] thx for the help emmajane... i must go bed now... got to get up early tomorrow [05:38] crush_groove, yes [05:38] im gonna send a bug report and post it in the forums to see if somebody knows why its reporting so many error messages causing the system to crash [05:38] So do you think it would break my system if I changed gutsy to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list, and then did sudo apt-get upgrade? [05:38] john__ g'luck!! [05:38] ty nickrud [05:38] thx :) [05:38] warriorforgod: prolly [05:38] gnight [05:38] warriorforgod, maybe not your system, but something for sure :) [05:38] altho i installed hardy in a vm it was ok [05:39] dont do it if you want a working system [05:39] john__ night [05:39] can I add a smb:// to /etc/fstab, and if so, whats the syntax ? [05:39] !smb | wolferine [05:39] wolferine: 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 [05:39] !info smbfs [05:39] smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 473 kB, installed size 1100 kB [05:39] thanks guys [05:39] anyone know why vmware-player claims it can't install on my computer type (386), this is through the "Add/Remove Apps" app? [05:40] wolferine, especially the mountwindowsharespermantently page [05:40] one last question.... [05:40] i have two sata hdds in my box, one with winxp, and one with ubuntu. grub is installed on the hdd with ubuntu. i cant get grub to boot winxp, i have played with the (hdx,x) repeatedly. i can only boot xp if i set the bios hdd boot priorty to the hdd with winxp. what am i doing wrong with grub? [05:40] dishkuvek, try sudo aptitude vmware-player in a terminal, you might get a better error message [05:40] john__ we call those "door handle" questions... because just when you put your hand on the door to leave you think of another question.... [05:40] i just noticed that libdvdplay0 is in the feisty lib packages... but not in the gutsy lib packages... what does that mean? gotta install it manually? [05:40] dishkuvek, erm, sudo aptitude install vmware-player that is [05:40] !botsnack [05:40] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:41] Hmm, is the pre-release/proposed option under Software Sources safe to enable or no? [05:41] john__, why would you need that? I mean, what package? [05:41] john__ how did you install gutsy? [05:41] well, hopefully after this i can make it all the way through [05:41] john__ upgrade? or fresh install? [05:41] i d/l and burned a cd and installed from that [05:41] fresh [05:41] john__ then I'm pretty sure you really shouldn't need that file. [05:41] john__ this is very weird... [05:41] Slynderdale, it's an iffy thing, I've always been leary about that proposed repo [05:42] nickrud, hmm, it appears there is no vmware-player package in my repo cache, although it appears in the "add/remove" app [05:42] hmm... the directions for gutsy say i do... [05:42] Man, pidgin LaTeX is cool! [05:42] let me find the page real fast [05:42] john__ ok [05:42] hello [05:42] dishkuvek, system->prefs->software sources, make sure the first four sources are ticked [05:43] this is documentation for 7.10 official ubuntu documentation... https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html [05:43] step 1: install gxine, libdvdnav4, libdvdplay0, libdvdread3 [05:43] upgrdman: I had a time with that same problem... I just used my systems ability to select which hard drive I wanted to boot from.. I hit f12 on my system as it is posting and select which drive I want to boot [05:43] looking [05:43] only thing is... libdvdplay0 not in the repository... [05:44] What are some lightweight players (Foobar-like) for Linux? [05:44] john_ agreed. [05:44] john__ sometimes docs are wrong. [05:44] well thats disturbing :) [05:44] nickrud, ok, done, reloaded, or apt-get update, and still no vmware-player, im in gutsy btw [05:44] Lightweight music players, that is. [05:44] ok, i go have bad dreams about it now [05:44] john__ no, just human. :) [05:44] ttyl :) [05:44] naelr, i'll find the hotkey for my bios, but im sure theres got to be a way in grub. i guess i post in the forums [05:45] !info bmp | Ose [05:45] ose: Package bmp does not exist in gutsy [05:45] !info beep-media-player | Ose [05:45] ose: beep-media-player: Versatile audio player that supports Winamp skins. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7.1+cvs20050803-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 874 kB, installed size 3628 kB [05:45] upgrdman: I think it has something to do with windows and the sata drives... I never had the problem with ide's [05:45] Thanks. I'll take a look. [05:46] Ose: more like winamp... whythmbox may be more foobar-like [05:46] rhythmbox [05:46] what do you type to change color of text and describe action, is it /me? [05:46] naelr, i'll keep that in mind. thanks [05:46] svladcjelli: Ahh, Old old winamp (2.91ish) or new winamp? And Rythm is.. Too big. [05:46] dishkuvek, hm, according to packages.ubuntu.com , vmware-player isn't in gutsy. Not all is lost, though, vmware-server is in the repos, add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to /etc/apt/sources.list [05:46] Ose: old [05:46] 20g root, 2g swap, 227g /usr, 250g /home do i need anything else like /boot or w/e before i install? [05:47] nickrud, nice, does vmware server do something similar? [05:47] heatmzzr, what's changing colours? [05:47] hey can somebody help me? i duel boot my system and i accidently deleated GRUB for my partitions, can someone help me restore it without have to reinstall Ubuntu? [05:47] dishkuvek, even better, you can create your own virtual machines [05:47] dishkuvek, if you have a spare xp license, you can run that if you like [05:47] emma, well in another room someone said something and all of their text was another color [05:48] anyone in here know anything about wireless and ubuntu 7.1 [05:48] please? anyone know? [05:48] nickrud, very nice. thanks for pointing that out, it's downloading now. [05:48] !grub | Rockoman [05:48] Kittyn, what do you need 2 know? [05:48] Rockoman: 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 [05:48] !anyone | Kittyn [05:48] Kittyn: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:48] Rockoman: you can reinstall it with the Ubuntu installation disk (w/o reinstalling Ubuntu) or search for the Super GRUB disk [05:48] kayce: why is /usr so bin [05:48] its like they were describing an action instead of speaking [05:48] big [05:48] I should speak proper in here? [05:48] where on the ubuntu disk? [05:49] heatmzzr, ahh. If you want to describe the action you are doing then you start the line with /me [05:49] because i was told too? it wont ,let me set more then one point to /home [05:49] Kittyn: you should ask your actual question is what the bot is getting at [05:49] * emmajane nodes at heatmzzr [05:49] and i dont know what else to set it too [05:49] Hodge, I've done everything the forums has told me to do. This is my last resort. My wireless isnt connecting... [05:49] * emmajane nods too [05:49] Rockoman: look at the link Ubotu gave you [05:49] yeah, what was that [05:49] Kittyn: have you seen the Ubuntu Wiki wireless docs? [05:49] heatmzzr give it a try :) [05:50] !wireless > Kittyn (see PM) [05:50] what console command is useful to generate continous output that varies a lot from line to line? E.g. for demo purposes? [05:50] can someone help me with a sound card issue, i just upgraded to gutsy and i have no sound coming out of the speakers [05:50] I've seen a lot of things. [05:50] !wifi | Kittyn [05:50] Kittyn: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:50] * heatmzzr thanks emma by dropping to one knee [05:50] hehe [05:50] tada! [05:50] Kittyn: what chipset are you using anyway? [05:50] heatmzzr http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html that's got a bit of a summary. I just googled "irc commands" [05:50] ? [05:50] lol [05:51] chipset? you mean my proc? [05:51] cool, using bitchx, ususally all one color so it really stands out when someone does it [05:51] kayce: I would do / = 50G swap = 2GB rest = /home [05:51] Kittyn: no, the wireless chip [05:51] heatmzzr *nod* [05:51] svladcjelli, that's an awfully large root for ubuntu ... [05:51] i know [05:51] but she was giving 250GB to /usr [05:51] i cant set rest to /home, its on 2 250g hard drives [05:51] Well, all I know about it is that it is a broadcom 1019 [05:51] so she has room to burn and will not run out that way [05:51] ah, that's grossly large :) [05:52] he? [05:52] i think i can figure it out thanks Ubotu! [05:52] she [05:52] i use 50GB [05:52] Kittyn: if it's Broadcom it's probably a good idea to use ndiswrapper [05:52] disks are huge these days [05:52] so make it 20GB kayce [05:52] Kittyn: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [05:52] it is a personal choice at that point [05:52] I use 15, haven't even bumped 10 (I use ~/tmp a lot though [05:53] I need help with installing screenlets [05:53] i write to var alot, and default html dir is there etc [05:53] for new users more space in / is not gonna hurt, and it may stop a disk full error [05:53] whats the difrence between ext2 and ext3? === CyberMatt is now known as Matt|sleep [05:53] trying to mount (perm) a Windows (smb) share on Ubuntu, sudo mount //xpserver/D/music ~/music gives me the error: 'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //xpserver/D/Music, missing codepage or helper program, or other error' [05:54] i just did this command line following a tutorial to get stuff for Ruby on Rails and MySQL: sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc mysql-server libmysql-ruby ruby1.8-dev irb1.8 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libmysql-ruby1.8 libmysqlclient15off libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libreadline-ruby1.8 libruby1.8 mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server-5.0 rdoc1.8 ri1.8 ruby1.8 [05:54] Ok I've read something about it and tried what it told me to do. When I connected to a wired network it completely cut out the wireless. [05:54] svladcjelli, yeah, 20gb is generous, and if they are doing some serious video that makes sense [05:54] is there an update command i can run to make sure the names are all up to date? [05:54] wolferine, smbmount [05:54] kayce: ext3 is journaled [05:54] I did everything on a guide, but screenlets will not install properly. [05:54] kayce: and has some other enhancements [05:54] can someone help me with a sound card issue, i just upgraded to gutsy and i have no sound coming out of the speakers [05:54] ie if mysql-client-5.0 was now mysql-client-5.1 [05:54] cabrio, can you add the -t smbfs flag as well? [05:54] ahh [05:54] I am trying to dual boot vista and ubuntu until i can get ubuntu to work properly then I'm getting rid of this crap [05:55] big_area it's very possible that your sound was muted in the upgrade. [05:55] Kittyn: I'm thinking that's a Network Manager thing [05:55] p34r, generally ubuntu is pretty good about setting up depends and replacement packages, never had much problem with new package names [05:55] !sound | big_area [05:55] big_area: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:55] cabrioleur, thanks, didnt realize it wasnt installed O_o [05:55] sweet! [05:56] emmajane, yes, but smbmount is desired [05:56] thanks [05:56] * emmajane nods at cabrioleur [05:56] nickrud: great. for the future if i want to make sure everything is up to date, is there a one-liner that i can run that would tell me of possible updates or something? [05:56] I've looked it up. I'm sure I don't have enough patience and I will probably try again tomorrow...I really hate vista [05:56] how do i copy several files using terminal? [05:56] Kittyn: ares623 cp firstfile secondfile ... destdir [05:56] p34r, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade . Normally the update manager check daily for you, and annoy you until you upgrade :) [05:56] ares623: I'm thinking that's a Network Manager thing [05:57] !dist-upgrade | p34r [05:57] p34r: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:57] Kittyn: sorry disregard [05:57] I figured as much [05:57] ares623: and sorry the command is cp firstfile second ... destdir [05:57] hmm [05:57] p34r: apt-get update should do it [05:57] i'm installing a game.. i accidentally installed it on a folder I don't have access to === fergofrog___ is now known as fergofrog [05:57] sudo is my only option [05:57] sladen: ok thanks, by the way i'm connecting via ssh to a server, not running ubuntu deskto [05:58] so I just list all the files i want to copy? [05:58] ares623, why not just change the permissions on that directory? [05:58] Alright thank you all very much...if it doesn't work I will be back tomorrow. [05:58] goodnight [05:58] nite :) [05:58] aloo [05:58] ares623: no use -- sudo cp -R source_directory destination_directory [05:58] asomne on [05:58] some help me [05:58] !ask [05:58] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) === Guest22121 is now known as Malaysian [05:59] someone please tech me how to make a website [05:59] join phpfusion please [05:59] google it [05:59] i can't change permissions through the right-click thing.. the folder is in the /usr directory btw [05:59] Malaysian, from start to end ? [05:59] chmod [06:00] ares623 you can use the command line to change the permissions... and the ownership... [06:00] ares623: run nautilus with root permissions to change it: gksudo nautilus === Malaysian is now known as Malaysia [06:00] ares623, Why are you trying to change the permissions of something in /usr ? [06:00] ares623, That is most likely a bad idea [06:00] ares623, sudo chown : /usr/ , but sudo mv /usr/ /usr/local/ would be a better idea, then change permissions === Malaysia is now known as Malaysian [06:01] i'd rather not mess with permissions. :) [06:01] * emmajane is more afraid of moving things than changing permissions... [06:01] ares623, Then like nickrud said, you should move it somewhere like /usr/local first [06:02] * nickrud *never* puts stuff in /usr, it belongs to the system [06:02] yup it is in usr/local.. [06:02] help me [06:02] it is Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory [06:02] Malaysian: http://www.make-a-web-site.com/ [06:03] what a great example :) [06:03] the default install dir is /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [06:03] ares623: what are the current ownership/permissions settings? [06:03] svladc, that *rocks* [06:03] icecast sux ass [06:03] Rawr [06:03] it says root : create and delete files [06:04] Is there a linux I can go download, with a good GUI, that is garutneed to have drivers for like... a Geforce FX 550587 some crap out of the box? [06:04] malaysian, http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp [06:04] emmajane [06:04] It'd be good if it wasn't a huge install DVD either [06:04] those are the permissions [06:04] pm me please [06:04] Only looking to waste one dvd XD haha [06:04] svladcjelli: great. i won't be able to detect yellow for days :D [06:04] Kcaj: ubuntu? but there are no guarantees [06:04] i'm not logged in as root though.. only an admin [06:04] What are the chances? [06:04] ah yes, w3schools, a great reference [06:04] but i know the root password [06:04] I main it is a fairly new Nvidia card, I've had problems with other distros before [06:05] hurm [06:05] malaysian, or try: http://www.webdesign-l.com/ [06:05] this is really weird, i plug my headphones into why i assume is a port for a radio antena and i can hear the song playing through extreme satic but there is no sound on any of the other ports [06:05] Kcaj: you can buy a box of suse at the store with nvidia drivers, or install something else like ubuntu that you download and it will download drivers for you, but they won't be "on the cdrom" -- "out of the box" [06:05] acttualy i already sign up the free hosting [06:05] malaysian, that is a MUCH more appropriate forum than this one for asking the qeustion you have. [06:05] Okay will it download the drivers automatically? [06:05] ares623: try allowing it to execute: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/file_name [06:05] hey guys; in a termianl only(no graphics manager), how do i tell networkmanager to connect to the internet via my router? [06:05] So that atleast a GUI will work after install? :/ [06:05] and want to use php fusion script [06:05] Last time I tried to isntalldrivers my self on Linux it was like a... massive headache [06:06] Kcaj: yes there is a 'restricted driver manager' that pops up when you first boot into a newly isntalled ubuntu and tells you about it and lets you download -- it sets it up automatically [06:06] malaysian, I doubt a free hosting provider will support PHP [06:06] big_area you might need to check the settings for your sound card. [06:06] Kcaj, installation of nvidia drivers from nvidia website is very sweeeeeet. It works in 95% of distributions (Ubuntu is rebelling) [06:06] emmajane try to check it out.. hurmm www.ifastnet.com [06:06] Wait so um [06:06] Ubuntu isn't a good choice for this? :/ lol [06:06] emma, how? [06:07] big_area I'm not very good with GUIs so I use (from teh command line) alsamixer [06:07] Kcaj: no, Ubuntu is a good choice, via Restricted Driver Manager [06:07] i'm not trying to run a file though.. just copy some files from a patch update [06:07] Kcaj: ubuntu is the easiest [06:07] Kcaj, ubuntu will install it's own drivers. They work. [06:07] Kcaj: it installs the driver for you, you don't have to visit a website, download, run this and that, pray for miracles, etc [06:07] malaysian, I'm not sure. I can't help you to evaluate your hosting platform. You should look for a forum that specializes in this topic. [06:07] I'll have to just isntall it from the dvd, and then I'll be good to go? [06:07] Kcaj: yeah [06:08] get the 7.10 32-bit iso image [06:08] fits on a regular cd [06:08] ares623: well, then, your question has already been answered. either cp the files individually, or use cp -R on a folder [06:08] treyh0, Ubuntu is the easiest unless you want to do things the way _you_ want. That's why I'm running slackware. But for no-brainers, it's awesome. [06:08] cabrioleur: debian sid here, always and forever [06:08] thanks [06:08] they're all up [06:09] as in, "good to go", the GUIwill start up? :) [06:09] Kcaj: yeah, even the installer starts a GUI for you [06:09] treyh0, there will be due time to update to lenny :-) some day... [06:09] sid is wonderful, new software daily. (I *won't* say it's easier to maintain over the long haul) [06:09] emma, are there settings other than the sliders? they're all in the red [06:10] I was never a fan of debian systems. Too much chaos. [06:10] cabrio, chaos is FUN! [06:10] arg [06:10] emma, false alarm. ;) [06:10] 700mb or so at 450kb/sec :/ [06:10] i run etch-based for servers and sid on my workstations, love the brand new, yet still stable software :> [06:10] bad mirror, but, oh well [06:10] :-D I'm too old for this. [06:10] I gotta run to the store anyways [06:10] but i love ubuntu too [06:10] big_area generally red is good. [06:10] I know the installer starts a gui [06:10] chaos?!! no one has better policy, it's so consistent [06:10] bringing people over to linux and bringing life to debian [06:10] but I think the last linux os I tried to install [06:10] was Ubuntu [06:10] ya i knw, ive used the cli alsamixer before [06:10] and after install the machine couldn't start xwindows :/ [06:10] I'm just waiting for stable hurd :-) [06:11] Kcaj: hopefully the new version 7.10 is good for you [06:11] Kcaj: no problem, you may [06:11] big_area oops. that was for changing the mic option. [06:11] emma, but im not terribly familiar with anything other than the sliders, is there another menu with more options/settings?

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues [06:11] I mean the installaton worked fine [06:11] and finished [06:11] cabrioleur: yeah that would be nice, i'd run Debian GNU/Hurd for sure [06:11] big_area, there's an emma as well... use emmaj to get me [06:11] Kcaj: but X didn't start in the installation? ah [06:11] i uninstalled openoffice. i couldn't get the damn thing to do the most important task -- render the bloody documents nicely [06:11] and i could go in to command line, but not xwindows at all [06:11] emmajane, oops [06:11] I tried like a million fixes [06:11] sorry [06:11] browsed google forever [06:11] big_area np [06:11] and was just, no help, but [06:12] probably !fixres and/or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:12] hopfully this time it works [06:12] if not [06:12] what is the default irc client I'll be getting from command line to come ask? ;D [06:12] big_area in half a second she'll be horribly disappointed that the message wasn't for her though. ;) [06:12] Kcaj: irssi [06:12] Kcaj: you'll have to install it I think, real simple [06:12] big_area, system-> preferences-> sound [06:12] SpookyET, a lot of ppl complained about 2.3.x. IMHO 2.2.x is more polished and finished. [06:12] Kcaj: sudo aptitude install irssi [06:12] is there a lynx or something? [06:13] Kcaj: applications menu -> add/remove software -> irssi [06:13] so I can atleast get some web hel pfrom command line if all else fails? [06:13] what's Red Hat? [06:13] Kcaj, links if you apt-get [06:13] my hdd light flashes every 10 sec's when the pc is idle (desktop not laptop) - i have two sata hdd's installed, is this anything to be worried about? oh and my sats hard drives - the 250gb one is two days old and the 80gb one is less than a year old [06:13] treyh0: lol that is assuming freaking gui works, lol [06:13] heh yeah [06:13] big_area do the tests work? [06:13] cabrioleur: http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/35924/2006280723373385260_rs.jpg [06:13] ya [06:13] Kcaj: you can install that [06:13] w3iat [06:13] doesn't another distro use apt-get? [06:13] like SuSE? [06:14] Kcaj: debian and ubuntu [06:14] Wait no [06:14] emmajane, should i leave it on autidetect or alsa? [06:14] that is yaST [06:14] last time im gona ask (cuz noones answerd it yet).. do i need a /boot partition or w/e before i install? >.< 30g root, 2g swap, 217g /usr (idk what else to put it as?) 250g /home on 2 250g hard drives [06:14] Yeah I used Debian before [06:14] so I know all about apt-get [06:14] kayce: no [06:14] cool [06:14] big_area, mine's on autodetect [06:14] thank you [06:14] big_area have you tried googling your sound card to see if there are any bugs for it? [06:14] Well, ran into a problem. Under windows, I have a static network IP set to 192.168.1.105 uet under Ubuntu I am 192.168.1.100. Yet when I go to network and set it to use my static IP, it won't connect. [06:14] I'm not Linux n00b or nothing, just had specific problems with this specific machine (graphics card in specific) playing nice. [06:14] kayce, you don't need a separate /usr [06:15] i cant put them both as /home it says thow [06:15] I can issue the command 'sudo ./sleep.sh force'. What is the effect of the option 'force'? Is force a feature of bash, or where is it defined? [06:15] kcaj, we're all n00bs when it comes to seomething. :) [06:15] emmajane, i will [06:15] bullgard4: I think not, probably a param that's handled in the script [06:15] big_area I remember when 7.10 first came out there were more than a few people who lost sound due to bugs for their specific cards. [06:15] kayce: use LVM if you want a /home more than 250GB [06:15] bullgard4: and lemme look at the script [06:16] SpookyET, looks like antialiasing is off. [06:16] does the ubuntu installer support LVM? i don't know [06:16] treyh0: the alternate installer does I think [06:16] cabrioleur: It isn't. [06:16] cool [06:16] what exactly is LVM then? [06:16] emmajane, ok i think i found a relevant bug report, ill get back to you in a bit, thanks for the help === emmajane is now known as emmajane_brb === kaot_ is now known as kaot [06:16] ugly [06:16] <[[KoRn]]> hello [06:16] big_area no problem, sorry i couldn't solve it... [06:17] !info lvm [06:17] Package lvm does not exist in gutsy [06:17] kayce: logical volume management, let's you combine multiple drives and define volume groups for partitions like / and /home [06:17] bullgard4: the relevant section I think is on line 15 in the script [06:17] kayce, or mount it as /home/you/data , but lvm is pretty [06:17] scguy318: I will have a look in the script. [06:17] hmm [06:18] ISLE OF MAN - June 1, 2006 - At a press conference today, Canonical CEO and Free Software spokesnigger Mark Shuttleworth announced the immediate availability of version 6.06 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. The latest version, known by its code name, "The Diaper Drake," includes special features designed to make Linux easier and more comfortable for niggers the world over. [06:18] "Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing." [06:18] !ops [06:18] Help! Channel emergency!

[06:18] huttleworth presented an overview of some of the features users could expect in the latest version of Ubuntu, including an Ebonics-to-English converter, African "tribal beats" sound and desktop theme, and a collection of rap music and gay pornography, "which of course will be encoded using patent and royalty-free formats," Shuttleworth added, smiling. He proceeded to elaborate, but OpenOffice.org Impress crashed at t [06:18] kayce: or if you motherboard does RAID, set a RAID 0 array for a 500 GB that you can use in the regular installer [06:18] thanks [06:18] nixternal, I think he's been around before, like last night [06:18] yea [06:18] what is ubuntu? [06:19] thanks for the heads up [06:19] what's redhat [06:19] it is set to raid on the mobo [06:19] raid0 [06:19] but you still see 2 drives in linux? [06:19] yes [06:19] kayce: don't. use software raid [06:19] doesn't sound like the raid array is active then [06:20] its nvraid.. only one i have access too other then the sil3114 raid or w/e [06:20] hi - i've created some debian packages for some gimp plugins - if anyone is interested: http://mattn.ninex.info/download/gimp/ (the debian package rules + amd64 debs) [06:20] wols .. yeah use software raid if the gui installer supports that, doesn't do LVM so i didn't think it did either :-/ [06:20] DrakePark, if you dont know why are you here [06:20] kayce: it's no raid. it's fakeraid which means you need to use sofware raid [06:20] aku....diaaaa [06:20] oh.. [06:20] anyone have compiz working on a ubunto quest virtual machine using vmware on an XP [06:21] mattn2|home_, what do they do [06:21] alphaiceman, no, compiz won't work in a vm [06:21] this is confusing >.< [06:21] alphaiceman: vmware doesn't do hardware 3D, so no [06:21] kayce: use 1 for / and 1 for /home [06:21] soldats: http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/normalmap/ http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/hdrtools/ [06:21] * nickrud is lazy, rather than grok lvm he just made a data partition [06:22] apa cy gk ngerty ??? [06:22] put all but the swap for root? [06:22] thanks guys, that's what I thought because when I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf all I saw was generic vmware drivers [06:22] Would anyone here happen to know why a static network IP wouldn't work?

[06:22] anyone here with a logitech G5 tackled the task of getting the back button / side scroll working? [06:23] Slynderdale: Or the network settings may be for a different subnet. [06:23] mattn2|home_, ahh cool ill have to run through those, i use gimp a lot so it may be use ful. thats awesome if you did those [06:23] I guess I should try doing a dual boot then, I have to run XP because this is a work machine and I did that for company apps [06:23] cHeChA_cE_EmO: /join #ubuntu-id [06:23] what's a decent sound generator synthesizer music making thing for ubuntu? [06:23] silent_, ive seen gentoo wiki pages on that topic. I just use them in games for grenades/medpacks :) [06:23] Dr_willis: I'm the only one on the network right now and also my static IP isn't in the normal networks DHCP list. [06:23] does anyone know what's the largest drive I can get for a Dell Latitude D610 [06:23] alphaiceman, I run windows in a vm in ubuntu for work, works well [06:23] soldats: i've only packaged the plugins - not written them myself [06:23] on an external drive [06:24] Slynderdale: So what are you trying to communicate with? [06:24] Dr_willis: I'm somewhat of a net browser so I like having those buttons.. so far I haven't come across a post saying "here's how you do it" [06:24] it's very borink ,,,4 me !!! [06:24] mattn2|home_, thats cool though, i didnt know about them so i might use them thanks [06:24] Slynderdale: to make meaningful suggestions we need more daa [06:24] that rocks Nickrud [06:24] jlkgheriuhfgn [06:24] cHeChA_cE_EmO: either stay on topic or go to #ubuntu-id [06:24] is there something to make a website displaying my music collection, using Amarok/DB ? [06:25] silent_, check the gentoo disrto wiki pages i recall seeing all sorts of guides there for the different mice. that secific mouse may be identical to some other one I guess. I got a mx518 I use mainly [06:25] I am trying to install a Philips USB webcam. The driver, I think, is supposed to be SPC715NC. Anyone can lead me to a good tutorial? [06:25] wolferine: apt-cache search musicindex [06:25] wolferine: hmm, Quod Libet has a playlist html generator [06:25] I shopped on Dell for the largest internal drive for a Dell D610 and it showed 100 gig, but I'm looking for a 160 gig or greater is this possible [06:25] did emmajane leave? [06:25] are there any limitations on the D610? [06:25] alphaiceman, ive seen laptop hd;s in the 200gb range. they may be bigger by now. :) [06:26] alphaiceman: ask dell, not us [06:26] i doubt if theres a limit to the size of the hd. its just how much $$ and whats out. [06:26] Ok well, I have a home network with three computers on it, currently I'm the only one on it. Under windows, my computer has the static network IP of 192.168.1.105, subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.1.1 yet if I enter these under Ubuntu, it doesn't connect and I have no network activity till I remove the info/ [06:26] * nickrud thinks about swapping disk on the cradle [06:26] alphaiceman: there are no limits on current notebooks, but you are OT [06:26] is there a decent website better than gnome-look [06:26] i find that annoyingly hard to navigate, not much good content [06:26] art.gnome.org [06:26] Slynderdale: need a new network card maybe? [06:26] (one that linux supports) [06:26] heh [06:26] sn0n: that one is limited [06:26] wols, I kind of did, I went on their web and looked for options for the D610 and the largest drive they have is 100 gig, I have 80 gig now [06:26] Slynderdale: pastbein your interfaces file [06:27] SpookyET: there is only really gnome-look and art.gnome.org [06:27] alphaiceman: we don't care what Dell has. whine on dell.com about it not here [06:27] wols: WHere can I find the file? [06:27] Slynderdale, what does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like? put it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [06:27] alphaiceman: this is not Ubuntu related [06:27] Why wont K3B rip dvds anymore? :( I used to turn it on and it would list dvd tracks, id select one and rip it. Now it plays a chord at me and flashes an error message so fast i cant see it, then simply lists the dvd's file structure. That is utterly worthless to me. Any ideas why this could be the case? Is it something to do with Gutsy?? [06:27] Slynderdale: /etc/network/interfaces [06:27] vasilisa: try #k3b or #kde ? [06:27] treyh0: The same info worked under Feisty Fawn :/ [06:27] your right thanks wols [06:28] Dr_willis: I've gotten the left-right wheel tilts to go back/forward... I guess I'll leave it as is for now, its actually a nice feature to have both [06:28] sn0n k3b is empty, ill check kde but... [06:28] Slynderdale: oh then like wols said the /etc/network/interfaces file is probably messed up [06:28] isnt k3b a KDE app ? [06:28] this is a ermm... gnomey channel [06:28] you guyd answered my question, I have to remove vmware and install ubunto in dual boot with XP [06:28] k3b will still run under gnome [06:28] if I want to get compiz working [06:28] Slynderdale: if you enter in a static ip address you have to enter in a static dns server as well (just to confirm) [06:28] alphaiceman, yup [06:28] Dr_willis: did you manage to get the buttons to work in both firefox and nautilus? [06:28] razorbladex401: will run under gnome, but this isnt really the channel for k3b troubleshooting.. [06:29] silent_, i dont use them in browsers. I use them in games. :) [06:29] thanks guys, as always you guys are awesome [06:29] well you don't "have" to...but browsing doesn't work etc [06:29] snon: your right i jumped in like at the end of that [06:29] !libdvdcss2 [06:29] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:29] i'm following a tutorial and it says to do this: [06:29] copy the init file over to /etc/init.d/ by typing this all on one line: [06:29] sudo /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2/resources/mongrel_cluster /etc/init.d/mongrel_cluster [06:29] * sn0n shrugs [06:29] !Medibuntu [06:29] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:30] kitofhawaii: I did [06:30] heh [06:30] but resources/mongrel_cluster says its not a file ot directory [06:30] or* [06:30] nickrud, wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48294/ [06:30] is ubunto hacks a good book to get for a beginner [06:30] (except i'm using 1.0.5 and i change the path accordingly) [06:30] p34r, sure you dident miss a 'cp' command in that line? [06:30] Slynderdale, compare to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48295/ (I have resolvconf installed for automatic dns setting) [06:30] Slynderdale: there is no static IP configured there at all [06:30] p34r, right after the sudo :) [06:30] hey guys, I'm trying out ubuntu live cd on an old computer, but it's stuck "Loading Linux Kernel" at 3% [06:31] Dr_willis: yeah it says: cp: cannot stat `/usr[B/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.5/resources/mongrel_cluster': No such file or directory [06:31] p34r, you got the path/name wrong then. [06:31] omnilynx: might be your CD or the drive [06:31] wols: Thats because if I se up a static IP, I can't connect to the internet at all, hence I deleted the info from network. [06:31] Dr_willis: mm i go into /resources/ and i ls [06:31] I can check the CD, I guess [06:31] doubt it's the drive [06:31] and it says mongrel_cluster [06:31] Dr_willis: but i cant CD into it [06:31] Dr_willis: it seems like it's there? [06:31] Slynderdale: either give us your static config or we cannot help you, your choice [06:31] p34r, if the file is in the current dir. You dont need the full path to it to cp. Just the full path to where to cp it to. [06:32] Slynderdale: what was the static ip config before you deleted it (pastebin) [06:32] Dr_willis: ok well i was doing it from root, let me try from here [06:32] thank you guys for all your help [06:32] Slynderdale: echo auto eth0 >> /etc/network/interfaces ; echo iface eth0 inet dhcp >> /etc/network/interfaces ; ifup eth0 [06:32] Slynderdale: your interfaces file needs to be right just like your /etc/resolv.conf. your IPs need to be set right and router set properly [06:32] then it will work [06:32] ima go now, take care evry1~ [06:32] treyh0: great static IP setup that [06:32] p34r, you might want to isntall and learn to use the 'mc' file manager. :) its good for root user file managing. [06:32] Dr_willis: ah seems like it worked :) odd [06:33] wols: no dhcp on the network? [06:33] treyh0: that's not the point. the point is he wants a static IP [06:33] oh [06:33] ok guys I have some free space on my hd that I want to give to ubuntu. when i click on my ubuntu partition in gparted it doesnt give me option to resize. how can i do this? [06:33] Dr_willis: mm what's that? could you link me to a website about it, google search seems too broad [06:33] !info mc [06:33] mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-7ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 2058 kB, installed size 5944 kB [06:33] I have an interesting problem or I'm an idiot. I just installed a WD2000 drive and formatted it with gutsy. It says on the drive its a 200GB drive but gparted shows only 186GB. Question: Wheres my other 14GB? [06:33] imbecile: shrink your windows partition first [06:34] imbecile: you cannot have a partition mounted and reizs it at the same time. use a (gparted) livecd [06:34] Blistok: google mebibyte [06:34] Blistok: different units ;) [06:34] Blistok: MB vs. MiB [06:34] and ext3 adds 5% [06:34] Blistok: harddisk makers do not give you 200GB but 200 billion bytes and call it 200GB [06:34] wols: the gparted live cd didnt recognize any partitions for some reason [06:34] and thers a % thats used as emergancy space. 5% - thats adjustable with tune2fs [06:34] Blistok, the 200 is probably x1000 , the 186 is x 1024 [06:34] imbecile: use a ubuntu livecd then [06:35] ahh ok... didn't know if I got gyped or not or if there was a hidden partition or if I'm losing my mind (short trip) thanks a lot everyone [06:35] Blistok: do "df -H" from the command and it will show 200 GB [06:35] wols u r genius. i cant believe i didnt think of that [06:35] Blistok, the makers have been playing Numbers games like this for years. :() [06:35] -H == powers of 1000 [06:35] I'm trying to start vncserver and I keep getting this error: "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" [06:35] gnychis: does X itself work? [06:36] gnychis, You may want to try the 'vnc4server' - ive seen that bug with many other of the vncserver variants. [06:36] wols: yes [06:36] Dr_willis: okay [06:36] gnychis, is this under Gutsy? or an earlier ubuntu? [06:36] wols: IP: 192.168.1.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Thats what I used in Network, its the same as the one I have no except for the static IP. Also the router is correctly set, the same information worked under Feisty Fawn (DId a clean install of Gutsy Gibbon) and it works under WIndows. What info do you exactly need to help debug this issue? [06:36] trey: ah ok, thanks... wols: always sticking it to the little guy *fist waving* [06:37] Slynderdale: DNS, route output and a interfaces file [06:37] wols: Meant IP 192.168.1.105 [06:37] Dr_willis: its under Gutsy [06:37] hello, i have a usb floopy. im trying to open it, but in my computer / External floopy is saying ,, unable to mount media, probably no disc in the media [06:37] Dr_willis: do you think MC is the best file manager to use on a server? [06:38] gnychis, odd. Which vncserver package did you install? theres like tightvnc, vnc4server, and i think one other. I have used vnc4server under gutsy fine. [06:38] but there is a disc in the media, and i have this error to any disc i put in the floopy [06:38] what can i do ? [06:38] * nickrud can't think of anything but mc for the terminal anymore [06:38] wols: Alright, where can I find them? ALso I wish to apologise, I'm still a little new when it comes to linux. [06:38] p34r, what does being a server have to do with it. :) Its a darn powerfull/handy file manager to use in a lot of cases. Its worth learning about. [06:38] is there a program like mspaint for ubuntu [06:38] Slynderdale: I already told you. scroll up [06:38] Who has used Konversation before? [06:38] Theres a few other console/text type file managers.. byt they are all lacking. :) [06:39] benzs_s, gpaint [06:39] sweet [06:39] I want a Deluxe Paint Clone. :) [06:39] some people wanna win the lottery :) [06:39] Then i could hire nickrud to write one! :) [06:39] hi, just looking at my logs and I saw this: PAP authentication succeeded , what does that mean? [06:40] Dr_willis: hehe ok thanks [06:40] Dr_willis: i'm new to ubuntu if you can't already tell: what should I use to upload files FTP wise? just a ftp client for my os? (windows xp) [06:40] Dr_willis, you'd have to send me back to school, I never learned event driven programming, it came after I retired [06:40] Dr_willis: i just used vncserver package [06:41] p34r: filezilla? [06:41] p34r, mc can do ftp. :) then theres other ftp clients as well.. the gnome file manager can do ftp also. [06:41] nickrud: a programmer is never out of school no matter how old [06:41] how to format floopy ? [06:41] filezilla is cross platform [06:41] Demonho-br: like anything else with mkfs [06:41] nickrud, i learned programing on C64's [06:41] newguyss, http://www.modemhelp.net/faqs/auth.shtml [06:41] benzs_s: +1. filezilla also supports sftp, which is a huge plus in my book [06:42] Dr_willis: hmm ok so instead of doing it via shell it's reccomended to do on an OS client? seems easiest anyway considering file selecting locally, etc [06:42] Dr_willis, I larned on ibm 360's (well, I exaggerate, I did a little fortran there, learned on a sinclair) [06:42] p34r, depends on your needs. :) mc is in the shell.. [06:42] nickrud, i got a sinclare 1000 hanging on the wall. :P [06:42] Dr_willis: ok well i'll look into it then, thanks for the tips [06:42] p34r: ncftp [06:42] wols, with usb floopy i need to umount and mount again for any disc i insert ? [06:42] =\ [06:42] Dr_willis, you are a packrat === diablo is now known as xLE [06:43] nickrud, found it at a flea market for $1 :) [06:43] p34r, gftp , or filezilla, or fireftp in firefox are all usable [06:43] Demonho-br: making a filesystem has nothing to do with mounting or unmounting [06:43] Demonho-br, when inserting a disk. you must mount it to access the filesystem. but you DONT mount befor you format. [06:44] fdisk, then format, then mount. :) [06:44] erm, mn p34r forgot you were terminal [06:44] nickrud: what do you think of smartftp? the only grudge i have against it seems that when uploading/deleting files it slowly goes through each directory [06:44] nickrud: so if i upload a rails project it'll take ~40 minutes, which is kind of rediculous [06:44] p34r, before I started using ssh, I used ncftp as wols suggested [06:44] HOw do I hide my IP in Konversation? [06:45] p34r: irrelevant. we don't do windows [06:45] SFTP [06:45] MiddleOfNowhere: you cannot. it's never a client option. you need a cloak instead [06:45] MiddleOfNowhere, you dont. you CAN have a masked ip on the freenode servers however. the freenode web site has info on that. [06:45] ftp protocol should be banned [06:45] anybody know how to get that annoying popup window out of gmail-notify? [06:45] !cloak | MiddleOfNowhere [06:45] MiddleOfNowhere: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [06:45] wols: :( i know, but give me a solid linux machine that runs photoshop just as fast as windows or $2k to buy a mac [06:45] the friggin thing pops up at all the worst times and steals focus [06:46] p34r: we don't care. ask windows questions in ##windows, not here [06:46] why every time I boot up ubuntu a eternal file system checking is needed? [06:46] damn wols [06:46] zOrK: it's not. only if you shut down uncleanly [06:46] Dr_willis, i cant format it =\ [06:46] no friendly chat welcome [06:46] it seems [06:46] wols even when I don't shut down uncleanly! [06:46] zOrK, that should only happen about every 20-30 boots [06:46] yea hehe :\ [06:46] it happens all the itme! [06:46] better read that ubuntero contract again [06:46] lol [06:46] zOrK: you are mistaken. it happens once ever 30 boots or so [06:46] any idea ? [06:46] yep [06:47] zOrK: man tune2fs [06:47] every 20 remounts of the filesystem, fsck runs [06:47] !man [06:47] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:47] Demonho-br, i recall using sudo fdformat /dev/floppy (or whatever) befor. [06:47] fsck runs all the time, realy [06:47] Dr_willis, why fd ? [06:47] zOrK: please don't lie or baby jesus kills a kitten [06:47] HOw do i obtain a cloak then? [06:47] why would I be lying? [06:47] Demonho-br, its a tool to format floppys.. hence the fd name :) [06:47] how could I fix that? [06:47] zOrK: fsck -v -f -y /dev/whatever to fix it for good [06:47] MiddleOfNowhere: you've been told already [06:47] treyh0 thanks [06:48] does rhythmbox/gnome do an EQ yet? [06:48] zOrK, you are not using that ext2/3 extension under windows are you? [06:48] mosno: hell no :( [06:48] mosno: exaile does [06:48] FRIG [06:48] oh [06:48] zOrK: tune2fs I think [06:48] zOrK: to disable fscks [06:48] * nickrud runs to check out exaile [06:48] exaile is for gnome too, rocks! [06:48] 有人么？ [06:48] !cloak | MiddleOfNowhere [06:48] MiddleOfNowhere: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [06:48] Dr_willis, im trying in /media/disc but its not formating [06:48] how do I disable it? [06:48] exaile is psychic too, turn on dynamic playlists and it reads your damn mind (if you use last.fm) [06:48] !cn | huazi [06:48] huazi: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:48] exaile is great. it's a gtk version of amarok [06:48] ok guys, I am on live disk trying to add 40gb freespace to existing ubuntu partition. how do i do this? [06:49] here? [06:49] zOrK: tune2fs -c 0 /dev/thedevice [06:49] Demonho-br, you DONT format a mountpoint. you format a /dev/DEVICE [06:49] huazi, here, english [06:49] which is good because i dont want to be caught dead using Qt or KDE software [06:49] har har === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:49] * p_quarles is kde user [06:49] Demonho-br, mountpoints have nothing to do with formating. :) [06:49] Dr_willis, how can i know what is the device name ? floopy is not working [06:49] treyh0, do use an ipod by any chance? [06:49] Dr_willis, because its a usb floopy [06:49] Demonho-br, it may be /dev/floppy or /dev/fd0 I have no floppys any more. [06:50] Gnome should freakin' do it. :-\ [06:50] nickrud: no but the wife does and i had the joy of finding out that the '3rd gen ipod software' is broke to hell on linux now [06:50] Demonho-br, plug it in. check 'dmesg' output see whats seen.. or try 'sudo fdisk -l' [06:50] (i know i know, "get coding") [06:50] had to put windows on her laptop just for a damn ipod [06:50] Dr_willis, okay [06:50] she bitches about it, heh, used to her ubuntu ;) [06:50] I have an 80 gig HD and a 120 gig HD but ubuntu only installed on 7 gigs of one of the disks. Can I get the rest of the space used or do I have to reinstall ubuntu? [06:50] No, HOw do i cloak my ip through the Konversation application? [06:50] treyh0, that's what I wanted to know, I heard that some people were working on breaking it [06:50] NOt just for this server [06:50] brophat: create a bigger partition. resize the ubuntu partition [06:50] MiddleOfNowhere, it's not a client action, you must have the irc server cloak you [06:50] nickrud: i heard they did, but it requires the firewire uuid or something, check out #gtkpod here or on OTFC, not sure which network [06:50] MiddleOfNowhere: you can't unless you have it tunnel through a proxy or other tunnel [06:51] Dr_willis, /dev/sdb oO [06:51] Dr_willis, partition linux is /dev/sda [06:51] MiddleOfNowhere: and a proxy may be banned on an IRC server [06:51] I did with mIRC [06:51] MiddleOfNowhere: the firewall option? [06:51] Demonho-br, you only got the 1 hd ? [06:51] i put a code in autoperform something like [06:51] Dr_willis, yes [06:51] MiddleOfNowhere: and you do know that mIRC works on Wine? I'm using it now :) [06:51] +X [06:51] Dr_willis, its a notebook.. [06:51] Demonho-br, try formating /dev/sdb then :) [06:51] how do you know? [06:51] treyh0, thanks, I'll look for that. I set up a friend recently (windows of course) and am feeling the itch [06:51] MiddleOfNowhere: it doesn't matter. you cannot cloak your IP with a irc client. no possible way [06:51] Demonho-br: why can't you format sdb? [06:51] * mosno wonders what percentage of people actually buy mIRC [06:51] wols how do I resize? [06:52] wols, because i never did it [06:52] brophat: use a gparted livecd [06:52] !gparted | brophat [06:52] brophat: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [06:52] wols: if having the client connect through a SOCKS server or other related proxy counts, then it could [06:52] <------new to linux and loving it :D [06:52] * treyh0 wonders if anyone ever clicked on the authors nose in the about box for mirc [06:52] in the 90s [06:52] heh [06:52] i have a question. how come on my partitioned drive after i install ubuntu windows 2k only comes up w/ da blue screen... ? [06:52] scguy318: if you find a irc server that accepts them... [06:52] *Squeak squeak* [06:52] mosno, you have to pay for mIRC? :P [06:52] wols, how can i format ? [06:52] Ashfire908: not really :P [06:53] Ashfire908: it may be trialware but that trialware lasts forever :P [06:53] Demonho-br: as you've been told several times now with mkfs [06:53] scguy318: what about the initial dialog? [06:53] mosno: ignorable or use *cough* :) [06:53] wols, but its not working.. [06:53] does Apache get messed up when moving to Gutsy from Feisty ? [06:53] can anyone tell me that bootcd with all the system tools on it? i need to use one of the partition editors [06:53] Demonho-br: then finally tell us what you do and what the error(s) are [06:53] i cant remember the name [06:54] imbecile_: Linux System Rescue CD or Rescubuntu [06:54] scguy318, i though it was free! :P [06:54] does this happen often where ubuntu installs on only a small piece of the HD? [06:54] Ashfire908: oh, but it is :) [06:54] imbecile: RIP linux ? [06:54] lnx-bbc, that's the ticket [06:54] Anyone having troubles with Centerim and connecting to msn? [06:54] wolferine: messed up HOW? [06:54] anyone know why whenever something trys to use my soundcard the program freezes? [06:54] brophat: no [06:54] that sucks lawl [06:54] wols in /var/www (surfing to it), I dont see all the dirs I should [06:54] wols, sudo mkfs /dev/sdb its saying sdb is a entire device not just one partition, procceed ? y ? n ? i type y but nothing happens [06:54] nor in /var/www [06:55] i dont see my phpmyadmin, etc... [06:55] wols when i create a partition it always wants me to say where I want it moutned [06:55] wolferine: its not there if you did a new install [06:55] hi, can you help me? it seems I have a metacity compatibility problem with Compiz. [06:55] Demonho-br, it woudl be sdb1 , or sdb2 , or: sdb is the disk, sdb1 is a partiton on the disk that can have a file system [06:55] wowsers -- there's a gstreamer equalizer (that exaile uses)! -- well at least rhythmbox isn't too far from supporting it then... [06:55] hi people!!! [06:55] rather than a 'dist-upgrade' [06:55] brophat: if you're not sure, then choose "/" [06:55] nickrud, i treid all numbers. nothing happened [06:55] wolferine: what directory on your disk has this phpmyadmin? [06:56] im trying to setup /var/www/music, using mod-musicindex-common [06:56] nickrud: floppies have no partitions [06:56] wolferine: /etc/apach2/conf.d [06:56] I saw some screenshots with 3d login with faces. Does anyone know how it is called? [06:56] Demonho-br: I asked you something pastebin it [06:56] wolferine: and /etc/apache2/conf.d i mean [06:56] Demonho-br, then have you partitioned the disk? sudo cfdisk is good for partitioning , sudo fdisk -l will show your partitions as they exist [06:56] plus check /etc/apache2/sites-* [06:56] why is "Ardour GTK2" impossible to select in add/remove applications? (the check box is greyed out) [06:56] wols, alright [06:56] nickrud: why would you partition a floppy? [06:56] treyh0, phpmyadmin.conf -> ../../phpmyadmin/apache.conf [06:57] wols, arh, floppy, and mentioning cfdisk should indicate I'm thinking hard drive [06:57] wolferine: there is an example configuration for musicindex in the README.gz (/usr/share/doc/libapache*musicindex*...) [06:57] nickrud: yes. he always talks about floppies, so I ask you: why cfdisk [06:57] treyh0, forget about apache, use nginx. small and easy to configure. [06:58] scaldov: cool i'll have to check it out [06:58] i tried to go to lighttpd but i am too used to .htaccess and mod_rewrite [06:58] wols, because I saw a mention of sdb , rather than fd0. Demonho-br the device would be /dev/fd0 [06:58] their damn mod_magnet was a royal PITA [06:58] so, what about 3d login ? [06:58] nickrud: no it would not, it being a USB floppy [06:58] ugh [06:59] I dont understand enough about apache :/ [06:59] treyh0, but download only newer version. In 7.10 is rather old one. [06:59] wols, arg, snippy tonight are we. So, give him a command that works if you've been paying attention the whole time [06:59] wols, http://www.pastebin.ca/817105 [06:59] wolferine: its complex, there are commands to enable sites and modules -- a2ensite, a2dissite, a2enmod, a2dismod -- enable, disable.. [06:59] treyh0, its more than that, for sure [07:00] sites-available/-enabled [07:00] wolferine: make your music config in /etc/apache2/sites-available/music; a2ensite music ; invoke-rc.d apache2 reload [07:00] nickrud, its usb. i typed fdisk -l and it showed sda to linux partitions and sdb to disc [07:00] i just dont understand it O_o [07:00] Demonho-br: "/dev/sdb is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!" [07:00] or just drop it in /etc/conf.d [07:00] i mean [07:00] Demonho-br, see wols [07:00] /etc/apache2/conf.d, sorry [07:00] wols, let me unmount the floopy [07:00] treyh0, u lost me at the first one.... [07:00] 'make your music config' [07:00] lol [07:00] wolferine: the /etc/*-(enabled|disabled) are for quickly having sites and modules enabled [07:01] wolferine: yeah, sorry, you gotta make a file [07:01] wolferine: a2ensite, a2dissite [07:01] let me put mine on the paste site if i can... [07:01] i did cp default music [07:01] wols that means nothing to me what so ever [07:01] wols, wow... sudo mkfs /dev/sdb when not mounted can format it :O [07:01] is that a command ? [07:01] Demonho-br: you also should tell it what kind of filesystem you want [07:02] wols, like an argument ? [07:02] wolferine: it does to your ubuntu. and man a2ensite is especially helfpful [07:02] Demonho-br: like an option or mkfs.vfat [07:02] thats not even proper English [07:02] lol [07:02] dont have to be rude he's trying to help :P [07:02] hehe [07:02] its not rude, its true :) [07:03] wols, i had put again the disc on the floopy.. and there is a folder named lost+found, if i formated why this folder is there ? [07:03] well you don't form complete sentences or use proper capitalization either [07:03] wols, do u know ? only root can delete that =\ [07:03] so poo :P [07:03] Demonho-br: you formatted it ext2/ext3 [07:03] brb [07:03] Demonho-br: no one can delete lost+found [07:03] treyh0, point ? [07:03] wols, hmm whem formatting need i type mkfs.vfat ? [07:04] wolferine: point is you shouldn't say bad people who help you. good day [07:04] or better yet can someone tell me how to merge unallocated space to my ubuntu partition using gparted? it wont let me resize ubuntu partition larger than it is and i have 40gb unallocated [07:04] *bad thing about [07:04] wols I was talking to treyh0 :) [07:05] imbecile_: is the partition you try to resize mounted [07:05] wols: nope im on the live cd [07:05] wols, everything working.. u genius ! [07:05] wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48296/ [07:05] wolferine: I don't care who you talk to [07:05] wols, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/Device -I [07:05] :D [07:05] imbecile_: livecd does mount all available partitions by default. have you cheked if it's mounted? [07:06] httpd.conf is empty, if I need to add: 'LoadModule musicindex_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_musicindex.so' to it, I should just put it in apache2.conf instead ? [07:06] http://tinyurl.com/2womxt [usr/lib/apach...usicindex.so'] === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [07:06] wols, i didnt know anything about it.. why floopy ? because i found olllldddd floopies here. i was living in another country for years, now im back im checking these floopys.. im afraid i could get some kind of "nuke floopy" lol [07:06] wols: it wont let me unmount it so it looks like its unmounted [07:07] imbecile_: "mount" [07:07] Demonho-br, windows viruses wont affect linux. :) of course [07:07] Dr_willis, but, other phisical things can hurt my computer [07:07] wols: should i sudo umount -a? [07:07] Slynderdale: the interfaces file with static looks alright. what happens when you use it? can you ping IPs in your LAN? if not, what error? [07:07] do i use the install cd if I want to creat another linux partition? [07:07] Demonho-br, like a hammer? or a Baby with a nail gun? [07:07] imbecile_: no [07:08] wolferine, no, you would add it to /etc/apache.d/mods-available (in a file of it's own) then sudo a2enmod ; apache in ubuntu creates http.conf on the fly [07:08] Demonho-br: yes, setting your computer on fire will damage it [07:08] wols: sudo mount -a? [07:08] Dr_willis, like.. u know that thing.. when u put to pieces of that close, one will pull the other ? maybe my brother did put inside pieces of that on my old floopy [07:08] Dr_willis, i mean, disc [07:08] p_quarles, i dont care.. [07:08] uh, i've got a weird new problem. My videos are almost black and white, any video (wmv/flv/avi) any player (vlc, mplayer) [07:08] nickrud, so maybe music.conf ? [07:09] imbecile_: I said "mount" [07:09] wolferine, sure, that would be fine. Take a look at the other files in that dir for some example names [07:09] wols: where do i do that? [07:09] wolferine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48297/ [07:09] i see a musicindex.conf already [07:09] imbecile_: why don't you just do it? [07:09] Demonho-br: 'kay [07:09] oh yeah and run "a2enmod musicindex" [07:09] * wolferine begins to tunnel downward [07:09] before the apache2 reload [07:09] wols: where? [07:10] take a look at it, it may be already created by the package. That's debian/ubuntu's real strength, the technical detail [07:10] do I add my music dir to any musicindex related file ? [07:10] read the paste [07:10] /path/to/mp3s/ [07:10] Hi, I want to use metacity in Compiz, but the window borders always disappears. can you help me? [07:10] in my musicindex.conf? [07:10] yours is called mp3.... [07:11] no leave that file alone [07:11] so create a new one... [07:11] make a new file called mp3 or wahtever [07:11] oh, thats a mod [07:11] in sites-available [07:11] yep [07:11] not a site [07:11] yeah [07:11] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48298/ is the updated one btw [07:12] !apache [07:12] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:12] http://tinyurl.com/esmch [help.ubuntu.c...pacheMySQLPHP] [07:13] wols, =) floopy too slow [07:13] L-Apache/Lighttpd-MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite-PHP/Perl/Python [07:13] heh [07:13] wols, but i like their noise [07:13] treyh0, do I create an /mp3 ? [07:13] lol [07:13] wolferine: no [07:14] wolferine: the Alias /mp3 /path/to/your/mp3s will make apache read /path/to/your/mp3s when you hit http://your-server/mp3 [07:15] btw, that "filetype filename uri" should be on the same line as MusicSortOrder, the paste window wasn' wide enough [07:15] not sure if it copies over fine [07:15] ok [07:15] ubuntu hangs on startup at cups daemon [07:15] got that working O_O [07:15] how do i disable cups form a knoppiz livecd? [07:16] Hi guys, could you please help me? every time I enable Compiz the window border disappears. [07:16] this is pretty ugly [07:16] Invert314, a quick and dirty method would be to remove the link /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys [07:16] i guess you can edit the .css the way you like, or something ? [07:16] ty nickrud [07:16] Invert314: you don't need knoppix to fix it [07:16] wols: you still here? [07:17] viritual terminals won't work [07:17] wolferine: yeah heh [07:17] i can't log in [07:17] theelbermungster, try alt-f2 emerald --replace [07:17] has anyone else in here come across an issue with flash audio skipping a lot in firefox? my google-fu is turning up a lot of dead end forums [07:17] is there something better ? [07:17] wolferine: http://en.jinzora.com [07:17] wols: Back and heres the result http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48299/ Pretty self explanatory. I started pinging before I entered the static info and then afterwards, no connection. Then I restored it. [07:17] Invert314: wwhen your computer boots, have you tried the single mod? [07:17] you have to download and set it up without using apt-get tho ;) [07:18] or better yet can someone tell me how to merge unallocated space to my ubuntu partition using gparted? it wont let me resize ubuntu partition larger than it is and i have 40gb unallocated [07:18] im on live cd btw [07:18] i think I really need to do something myself [07:18] Myrtti, what's single mod? [07:18] no one really has what I want [07:18] nickrud, it just switches the theme of emerald. [07:18] i haven't tried that [07:18] Slynderdal1: and your ifconfig output looks alright? your dmesg has no eth0 messages either? is there a firewall anywhere? [07:18] wolferine: you dont like jinzora? [07:18] http://get.jinzora.com/screenshot/theme/large/slick.jpg [07:18] i dont know [07:18] theelbermungster, emerald is your window borders, I thought you said you can't see them [07:19] I wanted to use Metacity, is that possible? [07:19] here's a commercial one that is pretty nice too: http://www.turnstyle.com/andromeda/ [07:19] Invert314: singlle mode gives you access to root priviledges. when it says grub loading, and press esc to get the menu, do so. [07:20] theelbermungster, not sure, I really liked the look of one of the emerald themes and never used metacity [07:20] Anyone have any idea why, out of nowhere, video playback would be black and white in various programs, but not youtube/etc [07:20] that soungs good Myrtti [07:20] youtube is flash [07:20] wols: I find this really strange, its the same exact information I used with Feisty Fawn, which I was using until today. Then I did a clean install of Gustsy Gibbin, I deleted the old Ubuntu partitions to make sure it was clean and recreated from scratch. Yet Gusty seems to hate my static IP. WHen I use it, it uses refuses to work with my router. [07:20] at that point i then proceeed to remove the link /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys, right? [07:20] totally apart [07:20] Myrtti: Im aware, thats not what Im asking [07:20] I am having touble with my hal, it fails to initialized ( I get a popup on login saying so) and now I can't use my dvdroms and my usb sticks, ipod and other usb stuff [07:21] what to do [07:21] Invert314: yes [07:21] wols: Also eth0 is an unused ethernet port, I'm on eth1, a newer one hence why eth0 is empty. [07:21] Mplayer/VLC/etc play videos in black and white, is my point, any idea why? [07:21] Invert314: yeah [07:21] ah wel i just mounted hda1 on elivecd [07:21] kthakore_ did you disable something from your System -> Pref ->session?session [07:22] mrj install codecs from medibuntu [07:22] mrj, go into settings and make sure ur video is xv [07:22] Cubexombi, don't hink so I will check [07:22] I am going to make an addition linux partion and then expand ubuntu to use it; do I use the install disk to create the new partion? [07:22] wols: Also no firewall as well. [07:22] treyh0: I've had every single codec for 3 months, it's not that I'm missing codecs [07:22] It just randomly happened tonight [07:23] Cubexombi, no everything is on but bluetooth and I don't have bluetooth [07:23] I went through 19 episodes of BSG before it happened, of course on the finale it's black and white [07:23] mrj, W00T! bsg can't wait for season to start soon [07:23] how can I avoid sda3 being checked by fsck? [07:23] kthakore_ For me Disabling blue tooth did it. you can disable it totally by installing sysv-rc-conf I can find a how to for you if you need it [07:23] mrj: no clue, i'd usually reboot and hope it was just gstreamer broken [07:24] Yeah, I've rebooted. [07:24] Cubexombi, disabling bluetooth killed ur hal? [07:24] Cubexombi, will it hurt if I leave it on? [07:24] kthakore_: I had to watch season 2's finale in B&W [07:24] kthakore_ in short there's still a daemon running that wants to find the applet, thats why HAL is crashing.. [07:24] anyone know? [07:24] nickrud, Myrtti, wols: elive@elive[/asdf]$ sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S20cupsys [07:24] Segmentation fault [07:25] what does segmentaiton fault mean? [07:25] i thought it was a bad thing [07:25] Invert314: it's a crash [07:25] s sudo tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda3 , but that's really not a good Idea, you should read man tune2fs before you do that [07:25] did i just break my ubuntu instrall? [07:25] Invert314, seg fault means ur program did something wrong [07:25] Invert314, no try a restart [07:25] kthakore_ nah won't hurt you, may just eat a few ms out of sturt up but thats all [07:26] how can I avoid ext3 to be checked by fsck? [07:26] Invert314, do you need sudo with elive ? [07:26] ok ty ty all [07:26] Cubexombi, then how do I remove it cuz I have a server on here I neede [07:26] for some reason I think seg fault means that the prog wrote past the end of an array [07:26] nickrud, i executed that rm command with sudo [07:26] wols, LOL !! i found menuet !!!! [07:26] Invert314, wait also never run sudo rm unless if u know what u are dfoing [07:26] Invert314, I meant, try without [07:26] yes, i tried without [07:26] i haven't set permissions properly [07:26] wols, but its a notebook and when i try to boot an usb ... my floopy dont do the boot ! [07:27] wols, =( do u know what i can do to make it working.. ? [07:27] brophat, acutlay one of the reasons a program seg faults is do u invalid memory access [07:27] kthakore yeah kind of the same thing as writing past the end of an array [07:27] treyh0: By the way, that command line you gave me before didn't work :/ [07:28] Slynderdal1: it was for dhcp, didn't see that you wanted to do static only [07:28] MUH BAD [07:28] wols, other disc win98 boot.. :P [07:28] brophat, invalid memory access is more then just writing past arrays though [07:28] ok [07:28] bbl [07:28] is there any way i can bring up the linux gui on my ubuntu server in a window on my windows machine over the network? [07:28] Cubexombi, I will log out and back in with bluethooth on [07:28] kthakore_ if you want to disable it completely you can "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf" then "sudo sysv-rc-conf" in terminal, from there just scroll to the bluetooth section, [07:28] kthakore_ should I use the install disk to create a new partition? [07:29] treyh0: Oh its no problem [07:29] where do I install apps so all users can use them? [07:29] brophat, where are u installing the new partition same drive as the ubuntu one? [07:29] i mean, what directory? === Slynderdal1 is now known as Slynderdale [07:29] kthakore yeah I want to use the rest of the drive and also another drive [07:30] brophat, use gparted from the ubuntu installed on the drive [07:30] what directory should i install programs in so all users can have access to it? [07:30] ares623, depends, /usr/local is normally where you would install the program, and ln -s /usr/local// /usr/local/bin/ [07:30] that way you don't accidenlty write over ur exisitng parition [07:30] ares623, /usr/local is best [07:30] kthakore_ that will create the partions too? [07:31] hey guys some one have a Creative Zen Vision? [07:31] brophat yes it sou;ld what type of partition do u need> [07:31] i tried that, but the game i installed can't save profiles, probably because i have no write permissions in /usr/local [07:31] ares623, uses sudo [07:31] treyh0: I think wols may have died over there. :/ THough I do appreciate the help you and him offered me. [07:31] Creative Zen Vision M, i have Ubuntu gutsy and Gnomad 2 but i can not transfer video files [07:32] kthakore_ just ext3 [07:32] how can I avoid ext3 to be checked by fsck? [07:32] but i don't want to give others who want to play the game the sudo password [07:32] brophat yeah but is the partition u want to expand ext3 too>? [07:32] kthakore_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 go here and tweak away [07:32] yeah [07:32] Cubexombi, thx [07:33] kthakore_ it's got a handy "safe list" [07:33] Soo..is there anyone else around here thats familiar with the network settings in Gutsy GIbbon? [07:33] brophat, so do this first earse all the partition but ubuntu and the swap [07:33] ciao a tutti [07:33] ares623: not really how sudo works, but sudo is still probably not the right answer [07:33] kthakore_ gparted is not showing the other disk [07:33] brophat, did u mount it with sudo mount -a [07:33] yeah sudo is not the answer i want either. hehe. [07:33] Cubexombi, awesome [07:33] kthakore nope [07:34] i tried sudo, it saved fine, but again it would need the sudo password for the game to run properly [07:34] ares623: They use thir own password, not a "sudo password" [07:34] and you can enable just the game in their sudo permissions [07:34] hi! [07:34] kthakore_ no problem, I cut my boot time down to about 45s using this. [07:34] Slynderdale, me [07:34] kthakore_ I should say sudo mount -a hdb ? [07:34] alfermp: then make the directory for the profiles world writable [07:34] please help me! [07:35] group writable to games would be more like it [07:35] oh, so sudo in a guest account is not the same as a sudo in an admin account? [07:35] ares623: However, even without that, sudo configuration will allow you to run the game without a password. Although, you ought to check the configs, see why the game needs to run as root in the first place. [07:35] ares623: no. Sudo passwords are user passwords [07:35] how wols [07:35] ah ok. [07:35] ares623: it's the alternative to having 'root' [07:35] alfermp: wrong nick, sorry [07:35] ares623: then make the directory for the profiles world writable [07:36] ares623: but, the gameshouldn't be writing to /usr/local anyway. It should do everything in the home folders. [07:36] ok wols [07:36] it needs to be root since the game is installed in /usr/local.. i don't have writing permisions in usr/local [07:36] wols: Oh, I just wanted to say thank you. REguardless of having my problem fixed or not, I so appreciate the help you gave me. I also with to apologize if I got a little annoying with it all. [07:36] it's Enemy Territory btw [07:36] ares623: No, having a game installed in /usr/local doesnt mean it needs to write there [07:37] Flannel, do u have some tutorial for use Creative Zen vision M on Ubuntu Gutsy [07:37] hello [07:37] ares623: Unless you're talking about updates. Hmm, and map downloads I suppose. Have you checked the forums? Theres a good deal of ET howtos there. [07:37] ares623: ubuntuforums.org, that is. [07:37] thanks.. i'll check [07:37] kthakore_ i did a sudo mount -a but gparted still does not show my second HD [07:37] ares623: where exactly is the game installed to? [07:38] brophat: fdisk -l [07:38] the game is installed in /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [07:38] ares623: chmod -R a+w /usr/local/games/enemy-territory [07:38] brophat, what was the out put of sudo mount -a and can u post ur /etc/fstab [07:39] that gives writing permissions to that dir? [07:39] brophat: he uses a liveCD. fstab doesn't really matter [07:39] brophat, can u access u other drive from the desktop or the system place in Places menu [07:40] brb peeps gotta setup my hal [07:40] ares623: yes and everything under it. I never noticed the recursive option of chmod/chown [07:40] there was no output to sudo mount -a [07:40] ares623: be careful with it though [07:40] thanks lockd, i'll try it [07:41] Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!

[08:26] nickrud: well, then I guess not having the DRI is much more of a major problem then [08:26] how do i tell if its rw? >.< [08:28] can someone help me with my C program? [08:28] # [08:28] Extravert, not in this channel try #gcc [08:28] thanks [08:28] kayce, for example, one partition of mine looks like this: /dev/hda8 on /home type ext3 (rw,user_xattr) . That means it's mounted on /home, and rw (read writeable) [08:29] I have a problem installing Guake Terminal, after "make install" Guake , I cannot start it [08:29] kayce, that's from the output of mount [08:29] hmm [08:30] Can anyone here help me with a network problem in Gutsy Gibbon? For some reason, it won't let me set a Static IP in Gutsy Gibbon while it did in Feisty Fawn using the same information. I ended up doing a clean install of Gutsy Gibbon today to replace Feisty Fawn and ran into this problem. My DHCP IP currently is 192.168.1.100 yet when I try to set the static IP to 192.168.1.105 which I used in Feisty and WIndows, it fails to connect. [08:30] borndeer: i'm installing that because I need an alternative to yakuake [08:30] Slynderdale: fails to connect? [08:31] sorry, wall of text coming [08:31] Slynderdale, You don't have another machine with a static connection using that ip do you?

[08:32] kyle__: Well, more like fails to work [08:33] Slynderdale: whats telling you its unable to connect? the fancy tool? or internet programs? [08:33] borndeer, I suggest you need to talk to the developers about that [08:33] Slynderdale: check the gateway? [08:33] borndeer: it's requesting I get a svn version of gnome-common, bleh [08:34] borndeer, it will break your ubuntu - not a great way to start the compile day [08:34] Slynderdale: ip address, netmask, gateway, and some dns servers are needed to make it work static. [08:34] kyle--: The gateway is fine and when I set up Gutsy to use a static IP, I can't even connect to the gateway [08:34] ompaul: but I [08:34] hmm, regular gnome-common works for me [08:34] have already installed it [08:34] anyone? [08:34] does anyone use juno here? [08:34] kyle__; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48296/ [08:34] Can you take a virtual machine you create on gutsy and clone it to give to a friend who uses windows? [08:34] borndeer, it is not working - so I guess you have not got it installed right ;-) [08:34] uhh.. sorry bout that.. >.< [08:35] From Virtualbox-ose? [08:35] NeoPhyte21, more likely you need the development headers, what does it say it needs the .pc file for? === Cronaniu1 is now known as Kronanius [08:35] ompaul: So how can I uninstall it ? [08:35] mohkohn: both running the same vm software? [08:35] when trying to build it says it pkg-config can't find gtk+-2.0 [08:36] kyle__, both will be running Virtualbox [08:36] but i know its installed , so i figure all i have to do is add the path [08:36] NeoPhyte21, then install libgtk2.0-dev , that has the pc file [08:36] borndeer, if your system is doing nothing wrong better to just leave it alone [08:37] mohkohn: I dont see why you cant just copy it [08:37] ompaul: ok , thanks [08:37] * nickrud doesn't trust many make uninstalls either [08:37] nickrud: i have the .pc file: /usr/lib/gtk+-2.10.9/gtk+-2.0.pc.in [08:37] Slynderdale: and when you tell the network manager to use static, is it setting eth0 or eth1? [08:37] should i remove the in? or make a copy without the .in? [08:37] so, what do i do now.. [08:37] NeoPhyte21, did you install the -dev package? [08:38] >.< [08:38] Kyle I will dig into the docs for Virtualbox. But it sounds like it is feasible. [08:38] borndeer, this is a package based distro, so it resolves a lot of dependency problems, as such compiling something that needs you to alter one or more of the things you have already installed needs to be treated with caution, I suggest you go to #ubuntu-motu and see if it can be made stable with them [08:38] kyle__; eth1, which is connected directly to the gateway [08:38] kayce, it was to stop your flood :) [08:38] i know [08:38] hmmm [08:38] nickrud: installing now [08:38] kayce, ok, the partition is not mounted, you must be in the live cd [08:38] yes [08:38] i am in the live cd [08:39] What I am doing is making a Xubuntu GIS to run on Virtualbox on his windows Machine. [08:39] ok, then like I said earlier: mount /dev/ -text3 /mnt where something is like hda1 or sda1 , whatever you made the / directory in the install [08:39] ompaul:thanks for your suggestion . [08:40] nickrud: s/text3/ext3 right? [08:40] borndeer: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-567604.html [08:40] warriorf1rgod, no, -t ext3 , I compressed it, it works :) [08:40] borndeer: it was the schemas thing that you were having trouble with right? [08:40] Slynderdale: could just get rid of the fancy networkmanager if you dont need it, but dunno otherwise [08:40] kyle__: Any idea? [08:41] Slynderdale: also dont use static ips in the range that dhcp hands out :) [08:41] lockd: yeah [08:41] nickrud: ahhh s/-text3/-t ext3 I get it now. [08:41] nickrud: i installed and did an ldconfig, still ming =/ [08:41] missing* [08:41] ompaul: is there less danger with building stuff that can be done in just local? [08:41] borndeer: that link should help.. i will test it [08:41] it says.. [08:41] /dev/sda1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [08:41] lockd, generally yes, some stuff should just not be build ;-) [08:41] Slynderdale: even if you statically assign an ip address in the router config (based on mac), it'll still be dumb enough to hand it out to some other computer [08:42] lockd: I think the given path is wrong [08:42] kayce, ok, then you will find it at /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst [08:42] what's the best way to play quicktime in firefox... I'm watching a trailer, but I have no sound [08:42] well, i already found the menu.lst as was, and i dident have to mount anything? but it wont let me change it [08:43] hahaha really? no sound? [08:43] NeoPhyte21, hrm, what little compiling I do these days that's all I ever had to do, install the -dev package [08:43] lockd: There is surely no etc directory under the /usr directory [08:43] damn.. guess im out of luck then cuz i have both the original program and the dev installed [08:43] i even have the file its looking for [08:43] it runs for me now but f12 doesn't call it up as Windowmaker traps f12 [08:43] silent_: wow you're right [08:44] just have to figure out how to get pkg-config to find it, the PKG_CONFIG_PATH description isn't very clear [08:44] borndeer: go down, you use /usr/local [08:44] kayce, try nano in a terminal as the editor [08:44] kyle__: I'm installing mozilla-mplayer atm.. will report back [08:44] borndeer: because it's a local install [08:44] huh? lol >.<; [08:44] silent_, you will need to remove totem-mozilla as well [08:45] nickrud: fantastic [08:45] (no video) [08:45] >_< [08:45] hello, any one mind helping me explaining how i configurate the login name and password for samba? Iv heard that you should write smbpasswd -a name and then enter the passwd desired and just logon with that name and passwd but when i write that i dont get to choice passwd, i just get more options. [08:45] kayce, apps->accessories->terminal , in there type nano /media etc [08:45] ok [08:46] silent_, what does about:plugins say in firefox? [08:46] silent_: eh its probably a problem with codecs [08:46] whao, ok, that did something [08:46] nickrud: gutsy has a plugin by default, uh some gnome thing [08:46] lockd:Wow , it works . Thank you a lot ! [08:46] kyle__, I kill off totem first thing, I prefer mplayer for streaming [08:47] aye [08:47] borndeer: THIS is why I despise gnome. I still don't like KDE, just not as bad [08:47] nickrud: I have both VLC plugin and Quicktime plugin enabled [08:47] but switching from totem to mplayer is a bit of a learning curve [08:47] * nickrud enjoys watching that buffering message, at least I know something is happening [08:47] Gnome is lovely :P [08:47] pedro_orange: yes, yes it is [08:47] silent_: I opened it in "Movie Player" and its asking for gstreamer bad plugins [08:48] really arcane commands for setting up GUI interface, kind of defeats the purpose [08:48] I'd be able to play the mov in vlc.. i just cant stream [08:48] nickrud: any suggestions? [08:48] nickrud: I have both VLC and quicktime plugin enabled [08:49] silent_: can't stream in VLC? [08:49] lockd, I'm accessing the file through firefox [08:49] You streaming from your browser? [08:49] yes [08:49] how do i save it [08:49] silent_: oh, that way, thought you were trying to stream a video yourself [08:49] silent_, remove mozilla-plugin-vlc , totem-mozilla , install mozilla-mplayer, and go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2 to get the codecs [08:50] or is it automaticly saved? [08:50] silent_, Works for Me™ [08:50] Hmmm; I use mplayer / flash plug-ins and the only thing I can't stream is that damn BBC Player.

Felt confident enough to move to debian and did so. Tried a couple of different distribs since and have used Arch for a while. Im travelling at the moment and am looking for a lean and bloat free distro that is fast and will play any media formats and come with a basic set of essential things for media, graphic editing etc. Dont mind having to install some of it if it isn [09:12] fredl: I'm thinking this link might help you: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#ts6 [09:12] x3on: ubuntu does that [09:13] x3on: I strongly recomend wolvix. It small, live and comes with plenty of media applications [09:14] ompaul - perhaps yes, but I would like to find a way to discard tha possibility [09:14] thanks scguy318 I'll look through that.

[09:23] fredl: it's not that, because USB 2.0 devices should be backwards compatible with 1.1 [09:23] fredl: personally I think it might be something hardware-wise, but don't take me as the final word [09:23] knut: alright [09:23] knut: please do sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [09:24] bullgard4: it's an argument to your sleep.sh script.

[09:24] why would klogd and dd eat 100% of cpu constantly? [09:25] scguy318: Ok, I'll see what i can manage.. Thnx [09:25] lukewarm Ive had problems with VLC playing dvd's "on the fly" - or however it works [09:25] void^: I know that it i an argument to the sleep.sh script. I wonder where is programmed what the effect will be if I call sleep.sh using the argument 'force'. [09:25] I keep getting a "hal failed to initalize" pop up on log in and I can't access cdrom and usb devices [09:26] hi all [09:26] knut: have you, er, done that command? [09:26] knut: please do sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [09:26] im unable to access my dvd in gutsy [09:26] knut: I'm trying to help you setup ndiswrapper here :) [09:26] linuxuser, can u see the cd [09:27] ys i can mount it just that i have no access to it [09:27] hmm [09:27] kthakore: Analyze the dmesg. If you repair the error messages cause, you will be able to access your CDROM also. [09:27] I am trying to use some of the boot options for troubleshooting installation. However I get the error: "Could not find kernal image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7". I copied this command from the web site. How can I find what kernal image I am using (7.10-amd64 iso)? [09:28] x3on, well, that may have been a plugin issue, but it seems to work fine default on wolvix. There are also many other media players it comes with (including mplayer, gzine). It is also fully compatible with slackwares packages, and has its own small repo. [09:28] Hiya guys, i'm back with 7.10 ^^ [09:28] bullgard4: in the script, read it. [09:28] knut: please do sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [09:28] bullgard4, I can't find any errors in dmesg [09:28] how can I find the username and password on the dsl connection I am on? [09:29] I've got some problems with my composite manager (seems like i don't have one at all) And it started when i installed the drivers for my graphcard :S [09:29] hi [09:29] Hehe, yeah its done:-) === mikew is now known as mikew_afk [09:29] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and after restat it says file not found for both ubuntu and windows xp [09:30] Ajeet_2 did you install the bootloader? [09:30] how to install grub because i just used fixboot and fixmbr cmds [09:30] yes i did [09:30] void^: I looked for 'force' in the sleep.sh script. There is none in it. I only found 'xforce'. I believe that is something else. [09:30] scguy318: Its done. Is the wireless car suppose to work now? [09:30] can I just add noapic in /boot/grub/menu.lst being the kernel path, like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=a170264f-9ac8-4202-81a5-d73e267154b6 ro quiet splash noapic [09:30] Ajeet_2, i'll refarese, what error do u get? [09:30] anyone experienced anything similar in gutsy ??? [09:30] i thick it is unable to detect the names of the hardisks [09:30] knut: no, we're just getting started [09:30] knut: alright [09:31] Has anyone seen "channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused" when trying to setup a ssh tunnel? [09:31] Ok, lets go:-) [09:31] i am unable to boot from grub [09:31] knut: do you have your Windows wireless driver? [09:31] it says file not found [09:31] knut: I have a link to it but you'll need it on your end of course [09:31] kthakore: If you cannot find any errors in dmesg then no-paste it so that others can analyze it. I am convinced that your problem reflects in dmesg. [09:31] Scguy318: No, no windows crap left:-) [09:32] bullgard4, ok [09:32] bullgard4: "x$1 != xforce", it's common practise to add a letter to it, to deal with empty variables/whitespace. [09:32] is the dvdrw permission thing got anything to do with udev ? [09:32] knut: ok [09:32] Scguy318: Got the link?

[09:39] knut: when you're done, open a Terminal [09:39] knut: and tell me where you extracted === mikew_afk is now known as mikew [09:40] scguy318: good to go. [09:40] ssn, that is not how you get stability - we don't support it - you don't need to as the kernel gets security fixes though out its life span - suggest ifyou want to run development level stuff you look at hardy but expect it to break in new and interesting ways on a day by day basis when it is released it will be stable [09:40] Hi all, can anyone tell me the package I need to install to support .RAR archives? [09:40] /home/knut/Programmer [09:40] knut: alright, in the Terminal, please d [09:41] knut: please do, cd ~/Programmer, then do [09:41] knut: sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf [09:41] knut: then tell me what happens [09:41] I keep getting a "hal failed to initalize" pop up on log in and I can't access cdrom and usb devices [09:41] mikew: rar and unrar are the packages [09:42] anyone?

[09:58] jca: hmm, I'm not too wise on that, I've always had it work out of box, but since you say ATI, which I admit is a pain [09:58] jca: you'll probably need to setup XGL [09:58] !xgl | jca [09:58] jca: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [09:58] I'll try something ... give me a minutte [09:58] knut: alrighty [09:59] I have all the sun-java packages installed. .... but still frostwire is not working [09:59] lukewarm: is mousepad gui or text based?

[10:07] zetheroo: if you're installing it yourself and not using a repo [10:08] Maybe I'll try to unzip again...

[10:10] zetheroo: no...whichever one you set as default (if you don't set one as default, it's the last one installed) will be the default for all [10:11] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48303/ [10:11] zetheroo: setting one as default is done by modifying the /usr/bin/java link [10:11] kitofhawaii: hmmmm .... I just need the newer Java for one app to run [10:11] zetheroo: i suggest you check where your /usr/bin/java points to, in case you have to go back [10:11] cd /usr/bin [10:12] that was meant for the termnal [10:12] terminal.... [10:12] zetheroo: mine points to /etc/alternatives/java, which then in points to my current jvm [10:12] how do you check it?

[10:32] Hello, I am building grub (on ubuntu 7.10) from the source package and it build and installs OK. However when I run it crashes with a segmentation fault. Any hints as to how this could be resolved? [10:32] I now run a windows server with Alt-N mailserver on it. It's easy to add support for a new domain and manage accounts through either web or from the server itself. What would be the equivalent for running the same on Ubuntu? [10:32] knut: yeah, but in that folder, there should be a ZIP [10:32] Pidgin/Gaim doesn't [10:32] zetheroo: pastebin lol...anyway try "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun" [10:32] i need to know if i can install anjuta, lazarus and other programming tools in dapper drake [10:32] Jordan_U_: im on windows so how would i find that? [10:32] knut: open that ZIP and extract to a location [10:32] knut: then cd to that location [10:32] knut, "~" means "/home/you" so your path is redundant, and wont work [10:33] Jordan_U_: oh wow didn't notice :P [10:34] jay-oh-en, I don't know, easiest thing to do would be to just burn a CD of 7.10 and try it, if everything works, install it :) [10:34] so just ~/programmer then :-) [10:34] can u help me pls? [10:34] zetheroo: and then confirm "java -version" shows "java version "1.6.x_xx" [10:34] I now run a windows server with Alt-N mailserver on it. It's easy to add support for a new domain and manage accounts through either web or from the server itself. What would be the equivalent for running the same on Ubuntu? [10:34] in ubuntu 7.03 Pidgin is still Gaim? [10:34] kitofhawaii: ok I did that and there was a bunch of stuff that happened [10:34] ok Jordan_U_ [10:34] knut, Yes, but remember that *nix is case sensitive :) [10:34] white_eagle: in 7.04 it's still Gaim [10:34] zetheroo: bunch of stuff is good. [10:34] Grub 7.10 (built from source package) crashes .. any idea anybody? [10:34] lol [10:34] :D [10:34] 7.04 [10:35] knut: yeah, but anyway, have you extracted the ZIP that was inside the ZIP? [10:35] java -version [10:35] java version "1.6.0_03" [10:35] zetheroo: fantastic...go ahead and try your app now [10:35] kitofhawaii: ^^ [10:35] hi guys and girls - is it normal - that cairo dock has a black background when using standard-gnome - and no compiz? [10:35] mheath, GRUB as in the bootloader itself or the utility to install / modify said bootloader? [10:36] GRUB the boatloader itself.. [10:36] Yeah, cant see annymore zip's in there [10:36] mheath, Is it giving an error code? [10:37] kitofhawaii: hey.. your a genius.... its working [10:37] knut: if you type ls, is there a file with the extension of INF? [10:37] Jordan_U_: i think your talking to mhrnjad [10:37] scguy318: forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 [10:38] knut: oh good [10:38] jay-oh-en, I think I am too :) [10:38] zetheroo: thanks :) have fun [10:38] knut: can you show me what ndiswrapper -l says?

[10:38] knut: cool [10:38] how can I run window apps and games such as WOW on linux [10:38] knut: what does ndiswrapper -l say? [10:38] scguy318: knut@knut-laptop:~/Programmer/WLAN/LiteOn/GPH801WW$ ls [10:38] ar5211.sys net5211.cat net5211.inf [10:38] knut@knut-laptop:~/Programmer/WLAN/LiteOn/GPH801WW$ ndiswrapper -l [10:38] net5211 : driver installed [10:38] device (168C:001C) present (alternate driver: ath_pci) [10:38] knut@knut-laptop:~/Programmer/WLAN/LiteOn/GPH801WW$ [10:38] !wine | alphaiceman [10:38] alphaiceman: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[10:39] scguy318: Looks good:-) [10:39] knut: now we're getting somewhere :) [10:39] I installed vmware server from the repo and it wants an activation code, which I don't have. Now I can't shut down synaptic. There is no quit this install option. What do i do now? [10:39] welcome [10:39] knut: a few more steps [10:39] zetheroo: on the www.java.com web page?

My recommendation is to try VLC. [10:41] how to see the list?? [10:41] Keule|on, Yes, transparency == compositing == requires a composite manager. compiz == a compositing window manager :) [10:41] is this better than cross over for linux [10:41] zetheroo: hang on...reviewing my about:config [10:41] lista [10:41] Alphaiceman: well, Wine is free, Crossover is payware/trialware and has paid support I think [10:41] kitofhawaii: ok [10:41] Alphaiceman: Wine is a good start to try [10:41] !list [10:41] scguy318: Gedit open [10:41] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[10:42] Jordan_U_: I am still here.. [10:42] knut: blacklist ath_pci === ^^barbi^^ is now known as nikola_22 [10:42] Alphaiceman, I think they use the same code, wine at least is on good terms with crossover, but wine is free [10:42] knut: then another line as [10:42] knut: blacklist ath_hal [10:42] knut: then save [10:42] anyone able to point me in the proper direction regarding questions about DVD playback? I've already spent several hours researching possible solutions, including installation of codecs from the multiverse, VLC, and region coding. I'm hoping for an expert with CSS (content scrambling, not style sheets) and/or region protection. [10:42] Jordan_U_: there is no error code, when invoked grub simply crashes with a core dump [10:42] !medibuntu | deladrien [10:42] deladrien: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:42] deladrien: you need to install libdvdcss2 from there [10:42] done. [10:43] zetheroo: have you closed/restarted firefox? [10:43] deladrien: alright, so what's your current issue? [10:43] one moment [10:43] kitofhawaii: yes... but I think it was open while we were making changes... would that matter? [10:43] scguy318: done [10:43] kitofhawaii: shoudl I restart? [10:43] zetheroo: it shouldn't...the update-alternatives should've switched over the defaults [10:43] knut: good [10:44] knut: now do [10:44] knut: gksudo gedit /etc/modules [10:44] knut: close the gedit window you have open now and type that in the Terminal [10:44] knut: then add a new line to the end of the file [10:44] Keule|on, Some use "fake" transparency which just shows the desktop background, also note that compiz is not specifically required, xcompmgr for instance will work also, or composited kwin [10:44] knut: and on that line put ndiswrapper [10:44] thanks guys, it makes sense to start with win, I just have to research to see what it supports [10:44] knut: then save [10:44] scguy: opened VLC from terminal. file>open disc>DVD(menu) returned, among other things [10:44] libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 [10:44] libdvdread: Found 17 VTS's [10:44] libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 [10:44] [00000284] main playlist: nothing to play [10:45] oops [10:45] how do i make a "cdls" command that does cd and prints ls? [10:45] Actually, how do I install Skype? [10:45] totem says the disc is protected, which i know, but libdvdcss2 was supposed to get around that [10:45] Jordan_U_: so i have to install xcompmgr and it works? [10:45] scguy318: ON that line, or after the last one i.e. a new line? [10:46] knut: after the last one [10:46] knut: yes, a new line [10:46] zetheroo: hang on...reviewing my plugins dir [10:46] deladrien: hmm, and what DVD is this? [10:46] Keule|on, Yes, I don't know if you have to configure xcompmgr or just apt-get it though [10:46] kitofhawaii: ok [10:47] ttt--: alias cdls='cd $1 && ls' [10:47] scguy318: ok, it's done [10:47] Keule|on, You can also possibly set a preference for fake transparency, but that's no fun :) [10:47] knut: almost done, now do [10:47] ok thx Jordan_U_ i'll try - further infos ar welcome :) [10:47] knut: sudo modprobe -r ath_pci [10:47] knut: then do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [10:47] hehe thx [10:47] knut: and see if your wireless works [10:47] knut: you might have to wait a few seconds [10:47] thanks, void^ === albec1 is now known as albech [10:48] OK guys, 2nd try: grub (built from source package on ubuntu 7.10) installs ok but crashes with a core dump when invoked, any ideas as to how to resolve this? [10:48] deladrien: mm [10:48] deladrien: what DVD are you trying to play? could you possibly pastebin the entirety of the VLC messages? [10:49] ttt--: cdls() { cd "$1" && ls ; } ; [10:49] mhrnjad, It sounds like you don't really mean the bootloader itself, as in specifically the code that is installed to the MBR and run at boot [10:49] Jordan_U_ : I do mean the boat loader binary .. [10:49] rb34564, That's kind of nifty [10:49] my cd doesn't auto mount [10:49] hmm.. [10:50] /usr/sbin/grub [10:50] mhrnjad, How can a bootloader segfault? [10:50] void^: $1 will not work in an alias [10:50] Jordan_U_ : grub can actually be invoked from the shell .. [10:50] rb34564: thanks. what is this sort of thing built on? [10:50] i need some help with the screenlet program, if anybody knows something about it. when i run it, it closes again after a second or so. does anyone have a solution? [10:50] or how is it called [10:50] Jordan_U_ : e.g. sudo grub [10:51] ttt--: it is a shell function [10:51] scguy: one moment while i learn about pastebin [10:51] thanks [10:51] deladrien: sure, see !pb [10:51] zetheroo "update-alternatives --display firefox-javaplugin.so" which is the best version listed? i just need that part [10:51] mhrnjad, I always thought that was different code, learn something new every day :) [10:51] Jordan_U_: it then comes up with a prompt and allows you to issue commands [10:51] knut: success? [10:51] !pb [10:51] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [10:52] Jordan_U_: thx ! it works - added it to the autostart - great!!! [10:52] kitofhawaii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48304/ [10:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48305/ [10:53] mhrnjad, Having an intel mac and wanting to dual boot before the kinks were all worked out I became very well acquainted with that prompt :) Just didn't realize it "was" grub [10:53] does anybody have an idea for file upload on a webspace (my webspace) and i get the url back? [10:54] my cd doesn't auto mount [10:54] zetheroo: ok...good. close firefox, "sudo killall firefox*" and then try the java webpage again [10:54] mhrnjad, I guess it makes sense now that I think about things like it being able to search for a menu.lst on drives that were not mounted by linux [10:54] Jordan_U_ : cool, I want to boot FreeBSD but the binary grub package does not have ufs2 support compiled in [10:54] knut: success? [10:54] Jordan_U_: that's why I wanted to rebuild from source package [10:54] mhrnjad, Why don't you install grub from FreeBSD? [10:54] rb34564: thanks, i didn't realize :) [10:55] does anybody have an idea for file upload on a webspace (my webspace) and i get the url back? [10:55] Jordan_U_: that's a possibility .. [10:55] #ubuntu-hk [10:55] mhrnjad, FreeBSD's grub supports ext2 [10:55] Jordan_U_: thanks for the pointer .. will try that. [10:56] Jordan_U_ : Thanks again. [10:56] mhrnjad, np [10:56] deladrien: mm, weird, you could possibly try a different player like mplayer [10:57] scguy318: for some reason I dont have anny signal strength now.. [10:57] kitofhawaii: when I did that killall command Firefox remained open [10:57] scguy: one moment [10:57] kitofhawaii: so I closed it manually [10:57] knut_: does the card work at all? [10:57] donno [10:58] I dont know [10:58] knut_: well can you connect to any network? [10:58] knut_: or [10:58] kitofhawaii: should I restart the machine? [10:58] knut_: actually, does doing [10:58] zetheroo: well, try it again...you might have firefox-bin hanging around [10:58] knut_: iwconfig scan ath0 work? [10:58] zetheroo: yah, that'll flush it :) [10:58] knut_: if ath0 is your card's interface name [10:58] Dont see anny networks [10:58] scguy318: it's iwlist ath0 scan [10:59] rb34564: thank you [10:59] I'm attempting to use a physical disk with VMWare as Ubuntu as the Host and Windows XP as the VM. When I try to add the hard drive it says that I don't have permission. I tried chown seek.users /dev/sdb and it still gives me the same error. How do I give my Ubuntu user full rights to the drive? [10:59] knut_: actually do what rb34564 suggested, iwlist ath0 scan [10:59] i need some help with the screenlet program, if anybody knows something about it. when i run it, it closes again after a second or so. does anyone have a solution? === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [11:00] scguy318: how can ath0 be present if you told him to blacklist ath_pci? [11:00] ok [11:00] rb34564: I believe that's the interface that ndiswrapper has assigned, though I could indeed be mistaken :) [11:00] does anybody have an idea for file upload on a webspace (my webspace) and i get the url back? [11:00] is there any software works like RealVNC to provide a webpage to control linux? [11:01] scguy318: knut@knut-laptop:~$ iwlist ath0 scan [11:01] ath0 No scan results [11:01] you may try this site http://upload.hkplace.net/ [11:01] scguy318: no. only ath_pci registers athX interfaces. ndiswrapper will give you wlanX. [11:01] knut_: can you pastebin the output of iwconfig? [11:01] hello, i need help for configure xorg for my tv, i used the nvidia driver but i only have black and white [11:01] rb34564: ah, ok, thanks for clearing that up [11:01] I am installing 7.10 (alternative text install) on a brand-new box. I have one 750GB drive and do not intend to use any other OS. Is there a preferred partioning for my situation? [11:02] scguy: sorry for delay, had to install mplayer. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48306/ [11:02] NooBBoon: I would say 10 GB for /, the rest for home, and perhaps a swap partition if you plan to hibernate [11:02] scguy318: one sec... [11:02] scguy318: thank you! [11:02] don't really know what that means offhand [11:03] CRC checks failed, can that be because of a failed decrypt? [11:03] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48307/ [11:03] MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module:init_audio_codec!anyone can help me? [11:04] ok.. I restarted and its still the same [11:04] I managed to remove vmware server and fix synaptic. There doesn't appear to be a vmware player for ubuntu or debian. Do I have to use vmware server? I really don't want to go through the hassle of registering that even though its free. [11:05] does anyone know when the ehci bug will be fixed in the latest kernel? [11:05] rb34564: well, his interface is indeed ath0 [11:05] zetheroo: check your about:config, filter java, and make sure you don't have anything hardcoded to a /usr/lib/jvm/1.4???? path [11:05] does anyone know how to solve the apache/svn error [11:05] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [11:05] ??? [11:05] rb34564: I believe that's the interface I got when I did ndiswrapper on my own personal installation [11:06] rb34564: apparently ndiswrapper renamed from wifi -> ath [11:06] I'm using ubuntu 64bit which may be why I can't find vmware player in the repos. [11:06] scguy318: i see knuts computer is a fsc amilo *brrrr*, so i guess there is a software wireless kill switch involved [11:06] scguy318: Dosnt seem like annything is "turned on" [11:08] scguy: with xine: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48308/ [11:08] hi guys. i have a problem here. i installed a theme and applied it. once my computer froze and i restarted it. now i cant see the thing eround my windows anymore in any theme. you know that frame thing around evey window. === Zdra_ is now known as Zdra [11:09] nobody? [11:09] deladrien: for verbosity you can pass in parameter --verbose=num [11:09] deladrien: set it to 3 [11:10] zetheroo: and then "sudo update-alternatives --auto firefox-javaplugin.so" but i don't think this is the problem, since your firefox plugin already points to the right version (auto just tells it to use the best) [11:10] rb34564: Why the *brrr* ? Amilo/fujitsu Siemens in general? [11:10] knut_: is there a button you use for activating wireless? [11:11] scguy318: Yes, but it dosnt seem to happen anything when i press it. Not suported by Ubuntu? [11:12] knut_: well, when it's activated, can you try doing iwlist ath0 scan? [11:12] please scroll up and see my question... Is this possible with ubuntu? [11:12] that was fun [11:12] seek: probably add to a group or something, too tired to help [11:12] scguy: output of xine --verbose 3 is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48309/ [11:13] scguy318: Just run vmware with privledges?

[13:25] NTFS and FAT [13:25] kitofhawaii [13:25] kitofhawaii: that didn't seem to work, even after adjusting my /etc/syslog.conf - could that be because they hardcoded the output to tty0? [13:25] kiamo : i have run VNC before.. [13:26] seventh: i'm not sure where they're writing to, but i'd assume network manager's dumping to syslog. as to why modifying it doesn't work, that's a bit odd [13:26] gopodge: when i log in i get a black 1280*1024 window [13:26] kitofhawaii: i think all them are fat [13:26] daya: i'm not sure what you're trying to do to be able to let you know which direction you want to go. what are you trying to do?

[13:52] it is a fat32 partition [13:52] is there a bare minimum linux that i can install on usb and make it bootable. better yet.. is there a way i can install this linux from usb to hdd [13:52] amitprakash: DSL. DamnSmallLinux [13:52] Ubuntu2: you really dont need to worry. the second will install a boot loader, or give you the option to install a bootloader. if you let it install, it should detect and add ubuntu to menu.lst or lilo.conf [13:52] ubuntu2: back it up to a thumb drive, and label it "Justin Case's Thumb Drive" :) [13:53] ok great riot ty [13:53] ubuntu2 : which is why I said "if you can follow instruction and adapt a little bit". There will be some thought on your part. Assuming Linux is already installed on the second HDD. [13:53] or you can opt to not install a bootloader, and then boot that distro by booting into ubuntu and editting /boot/grub/menu.lst with sudo rights [13:53] amitprakash: www.damnsmalllinux.org [13:53] shearn89: because my microphone doesn't work properly.

[13:54] did not want to point that out riot [13:54] amitprakash: what hinders you to set up a busybox? competence? [13:54] amitprakash: i don't think you can get them that small.

[14:03] UserUbuntu : Or.. Try here.. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus/Azureus_3.0.4.0_linux.tar.bz2?download .. unpack and run the azureus executable [14:03] UserUbuntu : I think you got the source .jar file instead. [14:03] and I've tried also with debian sid and it works [14:03] oh boy building my first mythtv box. should be the easiest 2 months of my life [14:04] ok thanks all will be back if it works lol [14:04] it seems a problem with something in ubuntu's gnome [14:04] enzogupi: can you not shut down at all? not even via command line? [14:04] enzogupi: next time you power down, try from terminal "sudo init 0" and see where it hangs [14:04] gopodge: thank you! [14:04] Sound is NOT working [14:04] why not [14:04] no... If I load gdm it doesn't works [14:04] Hey [14:05] if I load kdm it works [14:05] What is the name of the program that lets me configure x [14:05] I don't remember [14:05] but not if I login into gnome [14:05] xconfigure or something of that nature [14:05] i cant believe it... i reinstall linux, i make right away all updates no the terminal dont work -.- it say starting terminal and it is gone.... [14:05] its a shell script [14:05] enzogupi: i've seen a couple of people posting on ubuntuforums.com with the same problem and nobody seemed to have a solution :( [14:05] enzogupi: it's too hard to check the halt command in kdmrc and compare it with gdm's, isn't it? [14:05] *no = now [14:05] yes... also I have to compare debian's gdm with ubuntu's gdm [14:06] how to make windows print from ubuntu's cups ? [14:06] dinop007: get another terminal and start the terminal you want from there [14:06] maybe then you get error message [14:06] cause debian sid works [14:06] shearn89: it says i'm to register to send pvt msges [14:06] enzogupi; I've had that prob on occasion and hitting ctrl-alt-bkspc and restarting X let the comp shut down [14:06] Debian is awesome [14:06] Please just tell me so I can be on my way [14:06] tell me if i've got this right: in gutsy, you can't connect via xdcmp unless you use kdm and with kdm you can't switch users?

[14:10] yes [14:10] the terminal dont work to me... [14:11] they work on command line? [14:11] it's not the halt command... because in xubuntu and kubuntu it works [14:11] but not in ubuntu [14:11] but you checked on command line? [14:11] I've also made this test [14:11] I installed ubuntu server [14:11] and then gdm [14:12] frownfrown : are you running Ubuntu 7.10? That has version of aMSN as part of the Universe repository [14:12] now i must reinstall ubuntu? [14:12] before installing gdm halt worked, after not [14:12] or i can solve anyway? [14:12] frownfrown : 0.97 RC1 to be exact [14:12] i cant open the terminal someone got idea y? [14:12] ubuntu breaks halt command while gdm is running? lol [14:13] gopodge, No. I run Dapper [14:13] enzogupi: sudo shutdown -h now - in terminal should give a result [14:13] no [14:13] i cant open the terminal someone got idea y? [14:13] enzogupi: if you're trying to switch off, try sudo poweroff. [14:13] plutarcus_: what type of computer are you installing it on? === aima_ is now known as aimaz [14:14] what's the difference between halt and poweroff ? [14:14] are both command? [14:14] frownfrown : You can try the generic Linux installer which is on the aMSN site : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amsn/amsn-0.97RC1-1.tcl84.x86.package [14:14] a pentium 3 1 ghz, 512 mb ram, nvida tnt2 [14:14] guys, im having big problem with my graphics driver here.. im using ati radeon x1600 pro card and currently running ubuntu 7.10.. seems that my max res i can get only 800*600.. any ideas on how to solve this prob? [14:14] frownfrown : Or take the leap and go to 7.10.. it is worth it! [14:15] some months ago i installed feisty fawn and all went good [14:15] gopodge, nty. I'm waiting for the next LTS, so I can LTS->LTS. It seems more stable to me. [14:15] i cant open the terminal someone got idea y?

[14:16] plutarcus_: before busybox comes, there is an error [14:16] gopodge, how do I install it? D: [14:17] i'm not so sure. i connect a lot via xdmcp and it doesn't seem to be working in gutsy :( [14:17] just a moment [14:17] enzogupi: not sure about halt, but poweroff always actually turns my laptop off, instead of just going to a black screen... [14:17] and miro either. what's up with that? [14:18] frownfrown : Right click on the download and set the permissions to allow execute. Then double click and run in terminal.. Follow the prompts etc.. [14:19] can i re size an ubuntu partition without any hassles also suggest a good tool for doing this [14:19] i cant open the terminal someone got idea y? [14:19] i've got last thing to resolve... Ati drivers 7.11 under ati radeon mobility hd 2600... and i need to connect crt... [14:19] ok....

[14:21] ...the graphic of ubuntu for few seconds [14:21] dinop007: if that is set ok then try the different varients of terminal - gnome-terminal, xterm, etc. [14:21] gopodge, wow, wtf. It's installing a lot of autopackage stuff and asking me for my pass [14:21] and the BusyBox [14:21] sudo poweroff doesn't change anything [14:22] it does the same as halt [14:22] enzogupi: what about init-level 3? [14:22] frownfrown : Yeah. Maybe the 7.10 upgrade would be easier? :) [14:22] gopodge, Thank you for your patience. Installation of your package will now proceed. [14:22] You should not have to install the autopackage support code again. [14:22] So that means I'm ready to go? [14:22] enzogupi: you have installed only parts of ubuntu - yes? [14:22] gopodge, quiet D:< [14:22] anyone know any program to share files in linux? [14:22] OK, I connected to my VNC server now and it seems to work fine. However, logs show me a lot of strage "not found" please have a look: http://www.pastebin.ca/817345 [14:23] frownfrown : Hope it works for you. Where does it install it? [14:23] No... actually I'm running a full gutsy [14:23] !samba [14:23] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[14:23] enzogupi: what about "halt -p"? [14:23] UserUbuntu: or do you mean on a private network? [14:23] heatmzzr: yes. [14:23] gopodge, well, it's pretty. Like a Windows installer :| [14:23] Is anyone else having trouble viewing those pastebin links? [14:23] userubuntu: samba, nfs [14:23] already tried... it's the same [14:23] got no idea, 6th day running ubuntu [14:24] enzogupi: while gdm was running? try to boot into init level 3 and try again [14:24] UserUbuntu: try frostwire, its like limewire, only better.

From google, I would think that is a matter of CHOWning but for what should I do that? I have already given that specific file world read access... [14:24] i will try it. [14:24] the problem isn't in halt command, cause it works with xubuntu and kubuntu [14:24] gopodge, yay! Thanks. It installed correctly. :3 [14:24] !pastebin | godpodge [14:24] godpodge: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

I am clicking the links and no text comes up in the web page. [14:25] it's a very strange problem [14:25] enzogupi: so you are about exclusion: checked kernel?

[14:26] well, guess no one here use ubuntu in pS3 [14:26] bed time.. later [14:26] bai [14:27] maybe some gnome library for acpi or power-management [14:27] that is in ubuntu but not in xubuntu [14:27] any idea?

From google, I would think that is a matter of CHOWning but for what should I do that? I have already given that specific file world read access... [14:28] if i were you, i would switch to init level 3 and try to halt. if it works, there must be something in default run level. if it does not work, you know that gdm has nothing to do with it [14:28] ftp client anyone? [14:28] ok... I try now [14:29] to use fluxbox all i need to do is 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox' right? [14:29] or is there some other necessary packages or things i need [14:29] pegasos: have you tried the #mysql room? === ubuntu_szeskely is now known as ubuntu_szekely [14:30] kitofhawaii: Nope, not yet.

I'm not sure. [15:08] "[35302.744000] printk: 7 messages suppressed." is a kernel message and it's not in /var/log/messages [15:08] so i just install the isos on it [15:08] you'll probably need to pack everything and do some mean stuff like on the live CD. [15:08] I'm trying to install X on a cli install. After installing xserver-xorg, when I do startx, I get "Fatal Server Error: no valid FontPath could be found". What package do I need?

[15:08] ubuntu server doesn't come with x [15:08] hello everybody [15:08] Matt__: maybe xubuntu is a little better suited for small installation. but 1GB is really small in these days. [15:08] hdevalence: try installing gdm [15:08] for some reason that worked for me [15:09] because gdm configures yoru xinit [15:09] ekim|dt-linux: I installed xdm [15:09] ahh [15:09] bikal: try being less specific "messages suppressed" instead of the whole message [15:09] no i have a 10gb area of my hd that i want to istall it on [15:09] zeroflag, I disagree. My ISP has a download threshold of 200mb [15:09] hmm...never used gdm...but I will assume it is an uglier version of gdm =D [15:09] frownfrown: your ISP sucks. [15:09] zeroflag, I know D:< [15:09] HughesNet, don't get it [15:09] hmm...so the ubuntu updater gets all this stuff from apt right [15:10] shearn89: it says i'm already registered... [15:10] does anybody know where I can find good wallpapers? [15:10] Matt__: wait, you want to install ubuntu FROM an usb drive? not to it? [15:10] shamas, gnome-look.org [15:10] shamas: deviantart [15:10] ekim|dt-linux: what I want to end up with is a system that has KDE4 but /not/ any KDE3. I have all the KDE4 packages installed, I just need X to work. [15:10] is it just me or does network manager annoy anyone else with it automatically changing settings for you? [15:10] yes [15:10] shamas, or yeah, deviantART works too. [15:10] hi all. how do i find out my internal ip adress? [15:10] kitofhawaii, it's only returning me auth.log :-(((((( [15:10] shamas: deviantart.com , digital blasphemy , interfacelook [15:10] interfacelook is really good [15:11] uwo: ifconfig [15:11] Matt__: oohh... you could try to flat-copy the live-cd to the stick and then run it... but I doubt that'll work... other than that, there's chroot.

[15:37] i would use a livecd but i simply dont know when i will get some cds ^.^ [15:37] FallenStrife: there are others that are pretty easy to use but none that have the extensive community-created documentation that rivals ubuntu [15:37] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO [15:37] FallenStrife: then Ubuntu is for you because word processors, image editors and so on come with the OS [15:37] ie, the forum and this channel [15:37] does ubuntu support WoW and CSS by chance? lol [15:37] 2 games i cannot live without [15:38] meshugga: that's from like several years ago look it up at www.debian.org instead please [15:38] FallenStrife: yeah,you can get them to run [15:38] FallenStrife: not officially, but you can get them to run [15:38] through Wine im guessing? [15:38] yep [15:38] FallenStrife, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [15:38] A good program to capture video with my Logitech QuickCam Express? [15:39] you won't get steam to run [15:39] would 10gb free HDD space be enough to install ubuntu on as a secondary OS and be usable? [15:39] ooo no steam would mean no CSS then right? [15:39] exactly [15:39] ugh [15:39] can always swap back to XP for CSS lol [15:39] i'm pretty sure i've heard of people running steam [15:40] takes some effort though [15:40] Steam runs prefectly fine for me [15:40] let me guess, that was at least 6 months ago? [15:40] but I haven't put much stress on it. I can launch CSS from Steam at least [15:40] although CSS crashes on me [15:40] would it work ok installing it with just 10gb left on this HDD? [15:40] !steam | FallenStrife, Enselic [15:40] FallenStrife: yep [15:40] FallenStrife, Enselic: Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/ [15:40] FallenStrife: 10 gig is prefectly fine [15:40] Is there any good program to capture video with my Logitech QuickCam? [15:40] FallenStrife, I got it to install on a 2G flashcard :) [15:40] http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO%20Steam this site states that steam can be ran [15:40] amikrop: define "good" [15:40] wow this OS can not be this great lol [15:41] amikrop, v4l = video for linux [15:41] hwilde: show me WoW and steam + css on that flashcard ... [15:41] amikrop: you can capture with e.g. menocder [15:41] ok, thanks [15:41] rocadeye, I got the image down to 1.5G [15:41] amikrop: mencoder I mean [15:41] your telling me i can install this Great eye candy OS as a seconday OS beside XP with just 10gb left on my HDD?!

[15:42] rocadeye, do those take up more than 500M ? [15:42] Could anyone pleas tell me how to install desktop effects in gutsy? I deinstalled it somehow, following a stupid howto... I tried your advice installing compiz, didn't help the package is already installed. :( [15:42] should occupy 1 g max but i mean wow [15:42] hwilde: ... yes [15:42] AstralSin, lol os should grow exponential to fill whatever space allowed lol [15:42] rocadeye, fine then it would fit [15:42] hwilde: css alone is what? 2gig? [15:42] I've got the face flip effect for my desktop, but how do I make it a cube?

[15:48] was going to do that [15:48] I installed gnome dt beside my kde yesterday and I want to remove it. what is line . I tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome" didnt work [15:48] actually, there are vmware appliances that you can download where vmware is already installed [15:48] i managed to login and create an account in SQL-Ledger now im getting a new error message : [15:48] SELECT * FROM defaults ERROR: relation "defaults" does not exist [15:48] !hardware > unimatrix9 (read private msg from ubotu) [15:49] oh i missed that. sorry [15:49] SatManUK: should that be FROM TABLE [15:49] dhcpd3 fails to start-up quietly and does not leave any trace in logs after moving to gutsy. Any suggestions? [15:49] if i install it without the disk on a seperate partition i wouldnt mess anything up with XP would i? [15:50] how to change it - is it SQL Ledger or PostGreSQL do you think? [15:50] FallenStrife: explain a little better, disks have partitions not partitions having disks [15:50] how do i reinstall alsa? [15:50] magnetron, these hardware lists are to old... [15:50] who has an t60 lenovo dual core ? [15:51] and is running gutsy? [15:51] my HDD has a partition on it thats about 6gigs i believe was wondering if i could install ubuntu on that partition and not have any issues [15:51] Cr3ature: gui way... System->Admin->Synaptics search alsa, mark installed as reinstall and apply [15:51] FallenStrife: their are ways but I have never done it... if you select the partition while installing it may be destructive [15:52] unimatrix9: check http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki [15:52] does not pppoe get ip from dhclient? i try to setup 2 wan with routing and uses dhclient-exit-hooks but it seems like it does not use dhclient to get ip [15:52] join #ubuntu-br [15:52] its not even accepting detecting incorrect user / password [15:52] well this vmware simply lets me use ubuntu while im on xp if i understand right? [15:52] FallenStrife: yes [15:53] hmmm no ill effects to that? [15:53] FallenStrife: yes, or any other operating system [15:53] its reversable right? [15:53] FallenStrife: get vmware-server, free as in beer and use a flat file as a disk drive [15:53] HELP [15:53] Buon giorno a tutti inanzitutto [15:53] FallenStrife: you will emulate a hard disk using 2gb files without reformating partition [15:54] Damn [15:54] actually got me confused with this vmware ^.^ you simply start up in windows and then you can use the other OS through vmware? [15:54] updating gdm still didn't fix it [15:54] FallenStrife: you can always stop vmware or uninstall it if you don't like it, so yes it is reversable [15:55] FallenStrife: vmware emulates additional physical machines within your machine [15:55] so you turn it on then off whenever right? [15:55] How do I make my screen go to sleep after like 5minws [15:55] FallenStrife: yeah, shutdown the guest os and your ram is freed up [15:55] FallenStrife: yes [15:55] hmmm sounds like the best way to try out ubuntu to me [15:56] !it | kain [15:56] kain: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [15:56] How do I put my monitor to sleep? [15:56] FallenStrife: definetly for pure ease try the live cd and then you already have an installer that you can use for vmware if you like what you see [15:56] ~jsp [15:57] How do I put my monitor to sleep? [15:57] well im going to buy some cd-rs HOPEFULLY tonight but i really really really wanna try ubuntu now [15:57] Pc_Dark: we heard the first time, i was typing an answer but... [15:57] FallenStrife: you can try vmware without burning a cd, you can make it boot to an iso === stefan_ is now known as Spydon [15:57] do i get vmware from vmware.com? lol [15:57] FallenStrife: good luck and AstralSin is right, just pick the iso [15:57] I'm reading up on a how-to on the forums. One thing it mentions is: gedit ~/.filename. what exactly is the ~ for? [15:58] FallenStrife, download VMWare Server or MS VirtualPC 2007 [15:58] ~ signifies your home directory === Nilbus_ is now known as Nilbus [15:58] yeah i guess im gonna try this vmware to get a taste for ubuntu [15:58] I prefer MS VirtualPC 2007, it runs linux fine [15:58] VMWare asks for phone # and such, pain [15:58] vmware server is far more flexible though [15:58] mzracer360: ~ is your homefolder [15:58] hi all [15:58] i hate anything MS lol [15:58] vmware doesn't spam you, i can attest [15:58] I have installed XP after ubuntu on my fathers computer, and then I reinstalled grub but how do I make an windows entry in the grub file so that I can boot up windows too? [15:58] is ther VPN support in ubuntu? [15:58] ok thanks, also how do I know if I need to use /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom for my cd drive [15:58] vmware also wins in performance imho [15:58] AstralSin, I have found MS VirtualPC to perform better than Server. VMWare Workstation is very nice, although [15:58] I'm not viased against Microsoft [15:58] opps or /dev/hdc [15:59] biased even [15:59] Hi everyone! I have a Ubuntu server running as a web server [15:59] you can DL livecd to burn right? [15:59] I'm having problems getting Flash to work [15:59] Anyhoo, can someone please answer me? [15:59] Although I can access web site but I cannot ping or connect SSH [15:59] Pc_Dark: did you install vmware tools in the guest? [15:59] can anybody help me out? [15:59] mzracer360: Well, hdc is for mounted harddrives. You should probably use cdrom [15:59] if you do that, vmware server performs much better [15:59] AstralSin, Let's see... 1) You have to or it's unusable [16:00] AstralSin, I prefer VirtualPC [16:00] where can i DL vmware? [16:00] vmware.com [16:00] * Kronanius would like to know how to find out of his system is installed on "software raid". [16:00] VMWare Workstation > VirtualPC > VMware Server = Virtualbox [16:00] wait [16:00] can anybody help me with not being able to ping my Ubuntu server? [16:00] if* [16:00] vmware can boot my windows paritition [16:00] ? [16:00] picard_pwns_kirk: In firefox? [16:00] Kronanius, Did you set up software raid? [16:00] CMware Player is what i need right? [16:00] ekim|dt-linux: it can't boto a particion now [16:00] FallenStrife: no, vmware server [16:00] FallenStrife, that will work [16:00] Pc_Dark: I really don't think that I did... but I might have [16:00] David-A: yes [16:01] VMWare Player works [16:01] Kronanius, do you have multiple hard drives [16:01] vmware server is MUCH easier to configure [16:01] FallenStrife: no, get server unless someone has a virtual machine for you [16:01] Pc_Dark: nope [16:01] then you don't have software raid [16:01] where do you get that at Astral all i could find is the player [16:01] Pc_Dark: okay thanks! [16:01] RAID only works if you have 2 or more hard drives [16:01] vmware.com/download/server [16:01] * Kronanius slaps his computer. [16:01] RAID-1 and RAID-0 work on 2 hard drives, RAID-5 requires 3, best with 4+ [16:01] AstralSin, does that work on linux? [16:02] iter: yep [16:02] David-A: I'm using 32 bit Ubuntu on a 64 bit processor, if that makes any difference [16:02] I have a sprint px-500 pantech m
